Services in the Churches of the City
St. John Baptist Church
The funeral of Mrs. Emma Woodard, who departed this life Thursday April 10th at 7:30 p.m. was held at the church on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev W. M. Gray, assisted by Lie J. Slappy. Both the members of the church and friends of the deceased were out in large numbers thus showing how highly she was esteemed by all who knew her. The floral designs were many. The choir not only rendered music at the church but a great many went out to the cemetery and sang appropriate hymns. Mrs. Woodard was also a life member of the Berean Sunday school convention. The revival services which have been in progress for the past three weeks will close Sunday night. There will be quite a large number for baptism at the 11 o'clock services Sunday morning as the result of the very successful meeting. The B. Y. P. U. meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. and we hope to make it just as interesting as it was last Sunday evening. Every member and friend is urged to be at the communion services which will take place at 4 o'clock sharp.
F. B. B. Church
The beautiful sunshine on Sunday morning was quite an inducement to church goers, and a large number was present. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Matt. 24:30-35. The text was from Matt. 24-35. The subject was, "The Promises of God." The sermon was beautifully illustrated and a great many biblical promises that have never failed were related. The choir sang, "Wonderful Words of Life." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss." At night the church was crowded. Rev. Wright read for the lesson, Eph. 4.12. His text was from St. John, 2025. The subject was, "The Master has come." It was a soul-stirring sermon in which the deaths, birth and resurrection of Lazarus, was most beautifully portrayed. The choir very touchingly sang "God will take care of me." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing Sight the Savior stands." He tenderly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. A large crowd bowed and prayer was offered. Our services are always benecial, so come at any time.
St. Zion Dots.
After a successful week of revival services we are now prepared to call the public's attention to our baptism which will take place to-morrow just after the early prayer meeting. The converts ready for baptism number twelve. Our services will probably close to-morrow night. Services have been conducted only by the pastor, deacons and missionary sisters. At 11 a. m., to-morrow a sermon will be preached for the strengthening of the converts. At 3:30 p.m., the converts will receive the right hand of fellow-ship after which the communion will be administered unto them by the pastor. Visiting friends and the public are invited to these services.
St. James A. M. E. Church
Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock was preaching by Rev. Mr. Mason who discussed the dispensation of the three ages and also the three worlds. At 3:30 p. m. was Sunday school, with a very large attendance. 7 p. m. was Allen Christian Endeavor League meeting, one of the most interesting services of the day, and at 8 p. m. was preaching by the prstor. His text was found in the 3rd chapter and the 1st to the 11th verse of Revelation. He preached a splendid sermon. On Monday night were moving pictures given for the benefit of Missionaries. On Tuesday night at 9 o'clock p. m. is regular class meeting night and on Wednesday night at 8 o'clock was teachers' meeting. A large crowd attended each service doing the week and a cordial invitation is always extend to the public.
. St. Philip Dots
Rev. Singleton preached at 11 a.m. and 8:15 p. m. to a large crowd. His discourse was timely and beneficial. Mesdames Booker and Walker of Indianapolis spoke at both services in the interest of the Negro race. Rev. Singleton made a flying trip to Washington, D. G. in the interest of the A. M. E. church. Our young people are
practicing for a big entertainment in the near future under the leadership of Messrs John H. Law and J. H. Whitis. All members that have not paid their pledges must do so. Madam Booker addressed our Sunday school on Sunday. We are sorry to note that Mrs. Addie Davis, one of our faithful choir members is confined to her bed. The musical recital by Madam Watkins took place at St. Philip on Wednesday night, April 16th. The following services will take place on to-morrow: prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m.; Sunday school at 3 p. m.; A. C. E. League at 7 p. m.; preaching at 8:15 p. m.

The Sewing Circle connected with the church had a most successful sale on Monday evening; many friends of the church visited the sale and bought various articles. The members of the circle deserve our heartiest congratulations. On Tuesday morning Mrs. M. Moses died after a long and painful illness, borne with true christian resignation. She was buried from the church on Thursday afternoon. The boys of St. Benedicts and of St. Mary's schools will take part in the races which will take place at ball the park on May 2nd. We ask our people to patronize those races and to do all in their power to make the event most successful.
Monumental Church
The revival is still going on and up to Tuesday night fifty six joined and the meeting is only two weeks old. Rev. J. W. English opened this week, and preached very impressively every night. Sunday was a glorious day in the church, even in Sunday school, the regular studies were suspended and the revival spirit allowed to enter into this department also. Rev. Jas. Grant preached an able sermon at eleven o'clock a.m. Rev. Townsley, the pastor, spoke at the mission in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, also administered the communion. The mission is known as Townsley's Chapel At 6 o'clock p.m., the A. C. E. League met in the regular session and a brief discussion of the topic was held. At 8 p.m., Dr. L. A. Townsley, the pastor, preached a beautiful sermon. Remember the revival continues through out the month, and you are welcome each night. Services to-morrow: prayer meeting 5:30 a.m., Sunday school 9:30 a.m., preaching 11 a.m., and 8 p.m., A. C. E. League 6 o'clock p.m.
St. Paul C. M. E. Church
The 43rd anniversary of the church closed under the most promising prospects. Rev. G. W. Taylor, P. E., Savannah district, was with us through the week and added much to the success of the rally. Bishop L. H. Holsy, D. D., of Atlanta was a great source of inspiration. He preached last Sunday at 11:30 a. m. to the satisfaction of a representative audience. At night Rev. G. W. Taylor delivered an excellent sermon. The rally closed with pleasing results. We thank the Evangelical Ministers' Union for the aid rendered and for Rev. R. H. Singleton as their representative. He delivered a beautiful sermon. The church has been organized into five divisions to work for its elevation and betterment. A great spiritual feast to-morrow. Let all the members and 'friends be present.
Through Child Eyes
Ellen, age three, paid her first visit to a hospital recently. Her father had undergone an operation. She had wondered where her papa was, and as she stood by his bedside she looked at him gravely.
"You've got an awful big house here, papa," she said. "Why don't you come home and live with me and mamma?" — Indianapolis News.
RIGHT IS MIGHT.
With truth and justice and love on my side, I should not fear to stand in a minority of one against the population of the whole globe. I would say to them: "I am the stronger. You may glory now, but I shall conquer at last."—Theodore Parker.

Lesson III.—Second Quarter, For April 20, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxxiii, 1-15
Memory Verges, 10, 11—Golden Text,
Eph. iv, 32—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
When Laban learned that Jacob had
fied he pursued after him in anger, but
God came to him in a dream by night
and said unto him, "Take heed that
thou speak not to Jacob either good or
bad" (xxxii, 24, 29, so they had only
some sharp words and parted, having
erected a heap of stones as a witness
that neither would pass that place to
do the other harm. There different
names are recorded as having been
given to that witness, one of which is
much used: calf (Mizpah), but surely
much misunderstood (xxxi, 43-55)
Although no lesson has been a signed from chapter xxvii, the latter part of which is to me most profitable, the committee so gets the permission of it, and surely no teacher will overlook it. How suggestive is the first verse, "And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him!" Was ever such an unworthy man so wondrously cared for by God? He more than made up to him the loss of wages from Laban. He forbade Laban to harm him, and now, on his way to meet Esau. He sends a host of angels to still further assure him of heavenly protection, yet when he heard that Esau was coming to meet him he was greatly afraid and distressed (xxxii, 7). It would have been more honoring to God if he had said, "Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear" (Ps. xxvii, 3).
His prayer in verses 9 to 12 sounds well, most of it, for he acknowledges God's mercies and pleads His promises, but his plans following his prayer do look a little like his mother's plan of helping God out, though some might consider it showing his faith by his works. Yet the various droves of flocks and herds with which he hoped to appease Ekan verse 20 hardly look like faith working fearlessly.
The incident of xxxii. 24-31. also looks as if there was a great deal of Jacob instead of the Lord in the whole plan. It is with us all, as it was with him, most difficult to put off our shoes, as both Moses and Joshua were told to do, and let the Lord manage all in His own way. Yet the Lord is ever leading us to this that He may bless and use us more and more. This is a much abused story and is made by many to teach that Jacob prevailed by wrestling, but careful attention to the record will show that the Lord wrestled with Jacob to sulledge him. He resisted until his thigh was put out of joint, and then in conscious weakness he clung to the Mighty One, saying, "I will not let Thee go except Thou bless me," so it was weakness clinging to strength that prevailed. "By his strength he, had power with God—yeen, he had power over the angel and prevailed" (Hos. xii. 3, 4). His conscious weakness was the secret of his power, even as the Lord said to Paul, "My strength is made perfect in weakness" (II Cor. xii. 9).
It was then that Jacob's name was changed to Israel, a name applied to him personally about fifty times and to his descendants, 2,500 times. Jacob called the name of the place "Peniel," face of God, for he realized that he had been face to face with God, Him whom we know as the Son of God; for "no man bath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father," He hath declared Him" (John 1, 18). He did not tell Jacob His name, but He did say to Manoah, the father of Samson, "It is wonderful" (Judg. xill, 18). Jacob evidently did not expect that Esan would meet him peacefully and cordially and therefore took all possible care to provide for the safety of his household, putting the most loved ones Kindermost and the handmaids and their children foremost, preceded by the various droves, saying, "If Esan come to the one company and smite it then the other company which is left shall escape" (xxxii. 8: xxxii. 1, 2).
After all Jacob's fears (for he remembered well his wrong done to his brother twenty years before and the anger from which he had fled) how beautiful It is to read that "Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they went" (xxxiii. 4).
Thus God has many surprises for us when our fears are rebuked and we find forgiveness and peace and joy where the devil had told us we would find only trouble. There is forgiveness with the Lord for all who turn to Him, and He does abundantly pardon. He, through Joseph, forgave all those cruel brethren. When first He met His disciples after they had all forsaken Him and fled He said: "Peace be unto you. * * * Why are ye troubled?" (Lu, xxiv, 36, 28). Note carefully all the brotherly kindness of this chapter and think of Him who sticketh closer than a brother. In verses 9, 11, we quote that when Esau did not wish to accept Jacob's gifts he said, "I have enough, my brother," and when Jacob pressed them upon him he also said, "I have enough." The expressions are different, however, and in Young's translation the former is, "I have abundance," and Jacob said, "I have all things." Jacob's word has a larger significance than Esau's.
How Clouds and Fogs Differ.
Clouds are bodies of moisture evaporated from the earth and again partially condensed in the upper regions of the air. Fogs differ from clouds only in one respect—they come in contact with the surface of the earth, while clouds are elevated above our heads. When the surface of the earth is warmer than the lower air the vapor of the earth, being condensed by the chill air, becomes mist or fog. But when the lower air is warmer than the earth the vapor rises through the air and becomes cloud. Fog and mist differ in this respect—that mist is a fine rain, while fog is vapor not sufficiently condensed to allow of its precipitation in drops.

Mrs. Brown—Is this hotel on the European plan? Mr. Brown did preoccupied tones from behind his paper—Yes, my dear. Mrs. B.—I'm not feeling hungry this morning. I think I'll merely take some coffee and rolls. Mr. B. daying asile japer—What were you asking me, my dear? On the European plan? No, it is not. Mrs. B. to waiter—You may bring me an omelet, some shad, mutton chops, with a bit of bacon, baked potatoes, rolls and coffee and afterward some griddle cakes and sirup—Harper's Magazine.
"By Jingo."
The term "By jingo" was many years old when it gave birth to the jingo. It was originally used as a conjurer's exclamation, "My jingo," and it appears in Motteux's translation of Rabelais published in 1594, where the French original is "par Dieu." Goldsmith also used it both in the "Vicar of Wake field" and "She Stepps to Conquer." But the ideal that jingo is short for that most respectable saint, St. Gengulphus, is one of the jocular fancies of the author of the "Ingoldsby Legends."—London Mall.
Hussars Once Freebooters-
Hussars were originally scarcely respectable enough to include a Prince of Wales among their numbers, for the word huscar is akin to corsair, and the first hussars were simply freebooters. As part of the regular army the hussar appeared in Hungary in 1458, when King Matthias Corvinus raised a corps of light horse under that name to fight against the Turks. The name and fame of the Hungarian hussars spread throughout Europe, and Frederick the Great was not above sending an officer to study their work. The English hussar dates from 1855, when the Seventh regiment was converted from light dragoons into hussars.—Westminster Gazette.
Comgard Interact.
All interest is payable annually on owner; therefore there is no such thing as simple interest in the long run. One dollar at compound interest at 1 per cent per annum will double in a little less than seventy years—to be exact, it doubles in 60.06 years. As near as we can calculate, this earth is about 3,000,000,000 years old. If it took the earth 3,000,000,000 years to grow, how much will interest grow in that time? One cent at compound interest at 1 per cent per annum for 3,000,000,000 years will amount to so much that one vigintillion balls of gold, each as large as the sun, will not then pay the interest for a billionth part of one second of time.—New York World.
The Basque Language
It is said that, though the Basque language, which is spoken in the Pyrenees, is one of the most difficult of all languages to acquire, the youngest child, conscious of his own thought, can express himself perfectly in it. It is averred that in vigor and word painting this is the richest of all languages. This may be partly due to the fact that nouns, pronouns and adjectives change into verbs at will and verbs may be transformed into nouns and adjectives. Every part of speech and even the letters of the alphabet can be declined like nouns, and adjectives are conjugated like verbs—Harper's Weekly.
House of Commons Prison
House of Commons Prison.
The house of commons has its own prison for those that treat it with contempt—the clock tower of the house. It was here that Mr. Bradlaugh was committed in 1880 for refusing to obey the speaker's order to withdraw. He was liberated next day. A more real punishment was the imprisonment there of a Mr. Ward, a solicitor, in 1879 for a breach of the privileges of the house in connection with a bill. He remained there several days until a medical certificate was produced to the effect that his health was in danger through the perpetual striking of Big Ben. The commons debated whether to stop the clock or release the prisoner, and Big Ben won.—London Spectator.
First Life Policy
"The first life insurance policy that was ever issued is said to have been written on June 18. 15S3, and to have been for £33S 6s. Sd. on the life of a certain William Gibbons," said Archibald A. Welch in a lecture. "The policy was for one year, and the premium was 8 per cent of the sum insured; the age was unknown. It happened that Gibbons died on May 20. 15S4, well within the calendar year, but the insurers contested the claim on the ground that twelve months of twenty-eight days each had passed. The courts, however, decided against the insurers and the money had to be paid."—Exchange.

envy the man who subdues it.

waves or electrical impulses, which
travel through the air without the use

Sacorpay, Aprit 19TH, 1913.
- It is indeed ‘gratifying to note
the increasing interest now being
manifested by both the students
and teachers of our various pub-
lic and private achools in the com-
ing track and field day meet to be
held on May 2, next, under the
auspices of the Negro Business
and Professiozal Men’s Associa-
tion and for the benefit of charity.
Neyer before iti the history of the
schools has such unbounded en-
thusiasm been shown over any
approaching ovent asis now be-
ing shown over the coming field
day sports. Encouraged by such
a promising outlook, the manage-
ment of the coming athletic meet
among the school children is see-
ing to it that everything will be
done to make the coming races
one of the greatest in the history
of the south. ‘These races, as was
shown last year, are of much
yalue to the student life.of the
institutions participating in them.
In the first place, they encourage
legitimate and well directed play
amon,; the students; in the second
place, they stimulate loyalty and
school; prie and in thethird place
they create a spirit of friendly
rivalry smong the schools that
gan but result in goods And too,
not only is the shool population
benelited as afyre mentioned by
the holdmz ofthese races but the
‘entire com:nunity as well. The
races are given for the benelit of
charity Quite a number of our
people subscribe to substantial
sums for the sume Hundreds
of our people are paid admissions
“on the day of the.races. Hence
almost «the ¢ntire community
either directly or indiréctly has a
sharoin this great effort on the
part of our business and profes-
sional men for the benefit of
charity. As we have often said,
this movement in behalf of chari-
ty by the businéss and_pro-
fessional men of our city is one
worthy of commendation. It is
indeed 1 lordly undertaking.
Hoping that the signs will not
fail us, we sincerely hope that on
May 2rd, 1919, one of the largest
- “parks” ever assembled in Savan-
nah will be found on the grounds
of the Savannah Athletic Associa-
tion ou that day.
A few more days and the doors
of our instatations of learning,
‘both public and private, will be
closed for the vacation season-
At that time, an army of tempo-
rary bread winners will be upon
us seeking employment which
will net them a sufficient sum of
money to insure their return to
the schools: during the ensuing
year. The ‘Eribune, priding it-
self in the belief that a large
quota of its readers, are found
amony the students of many of
our institutions of learning, takes
this opportunity to say a few
words to them as to summer work.
It is a well known saying that
“good time flies.” The vacation
season begins and before one can
do mapy things, the time is at
hand for areturn to the schools.
This has been the experience of
many of ns who have had to earn
the money necessary to pay for
our schooling, It has been our
experience, that in order “‘to
make good” during the summer,
that is to have a profitable season
from a financial point of view,
one cannot afford to sit by idly
during the early part of the vaca-
tion season and wait for work
which he thinks is most congenial
to him. Any work thatis healthy
and legitimate and is offered at
the beginning of the vacation sea-
son should be accepted. Jt is far
better to earn and save a few dol-
lars by engaging in work, not al-
together pleasing but at least
legitimate, while looking for bet-
ter employment, than to sit and
wut for more congenial employ-
ment and lose both time and
meney thereby. Our advice to
our young friends in school is,
that they should accept the tigst
reasonable offer given them of
remunerative employment
for the summer. When. this
is done, then “the eyes should
be kept opened” for something
better.» And something better
will come, if one proves worthy
of the task before him. - Our
young friends in school snould
begin now to casteabuut for work
for the sumimer. They should
write the friends and former em-
ployers in regard to their employ-
ment. ‘They should, if possible,
leave school having a job to go to.
If they fail in this, then they
should do the next best thing as
per the’ foregoing statements.
The Tribune wishes at this early
jdate a pleasant and profitable va-
cation for each one of its student
| readers.
ers, America” is another word for
opportunity. The foregoing, com-
ing ds it does, from one of Ameri~
ca’s greatest men of letters is in-
deed worthy of more than passing
fnotice- ‘To the foreign serf ap-
/proaching the shore line of the
great American continent, us he
notes the faint outline of the great
statue of liberty in the harbor of
our metropolis, the-word America
has a deep,significant meaning. It
indeed means opportunity for hin.
It means that no longer will he be

‘it means that he is in a land where

A Temple Made From a Single Stone. Mayalipmam, India, has seven of the most remarkable temples in the world, each of these unique places of worship having been fashioned from solid granite bowlers. Some idea of their size and the task of chiseling out the interior may be gleaned from the fact that the smallest of the seven is twenty-four feet high, seventeen feet long and twelve feet wide. Travelers who have carefully examined them are of the opinion that it took centuries of work to carve these graceful edifices from native rock.
The Bookplate.
An ex libris, or bookplate, is a small piece of paper whereon is printed the owner's name and pasted on the inside cover of a book—in other words, it is a printed slip to denote the ownership of books. A proper ex libris should have, first of all, the name, boldly and plainly printed, and a space left for the number of volumes contained in the library; then, to make it more interesting and personal, some decorative device of the owner's peculiar and individual choice as well as some favorite motto, if desired. In Europe those who have the right use family crests or armorial bearings for their ex libris.
A Curious Notice.
This curious official notice was once published in Germany: "At the request of Herr Wilhelm Leigson of Innsbruck the seaman, Johan Leigson, who was drowned in May, 1869, on a journey from Stockholm to Hamburg in the Kaiser Friedrich, is hereby called upon by the courts, to appear and report himself on or before April 1, 1881, under pain of being declared dead."

A Fatal Advertisement.
Vestris, the great dancing master, died at eighty-three, and it was said he would have lived till a hundred but for a sudden and mortal blow in the shape of an advertisement. One day he asked for a newspaper, probably for the first time in his life. Scarcely had he opened the sheet when his eyes lighted upon the following: "Wanted—A professor of dancing at Calcutta. Must be a skillful chlropodist at the same time." He took to his bed and never left it again alive.

Thelocal coiored people observed
yesterday as the anniversary of-the
day of freedom, although Emanci-
pation Day is celebrated on Janu-

ance of this day members of. the
local lodges paraded the streets
and held exercises at the Fifth
Street Baptist church, ‘colored,
yesterday afternoon.
The procession assembled at the
“*Good Samaritan” Hall, on corner
of Grace and Harrison streets. and
formed a line of march and parad-
ed to the Fifth Street church where
appropriate services were held, and
Dr. J. H. Bugg, colored, was
the speaker of the occasion He
made an address that was of inter-
est to the colored folks and tended
to give them morai awakening.
He impressed upon them the im-
portance of good citizenship, and
of conducting the details of their
every day life honestly and with
their best efforts.
After the services at the church
they formed in line again, and with
the “Good Samaritan” band fol-
lowing a body of horsemen, the
rest bringing up thé rear, marched
down Maine street and back to the
lodge where they disbanded.
At the meeting at the church a
yote of thanks was extended to

Color Line in Bar Association
(Boston Herald)*
‘The action of the American Bar
Association in passing a resolution
declaring that it “hag never been
contemplated that members of the
‘Colored race should become menr-
bers of this association,” is criti-
cised in a letter sent to the mem-
bers of the association by Moorfield
‘Storey.
“In my judgment the statement
inthe resolution is unwarranted
and casts an unmerited aspersion
upon the great lawyers who found-
ed the association,” writes Storey.
‘Such inquiry as I have been able
‘to make among those who took
‘part in the formation of the asso-
ciation satisfied me that idea of ex-
cluding Colored men from mem-
bership was not eyen suggested.
Had any such distinction found a
place in the constitution of the
association it never would have
reached its present position of in-
fluence.
| “When the constitution of the
bar association was framed the
civil war wasitoo fresh in men’s
mexories andithe words of Lin-
coln at Gettysburg“were two well
remembered to make it possible to
insert in its “constitution such a
discrimination.as is made by the
resolution under discussion.”

Republicans Restored to Power
in Michigan
Detroit, Mich., April 8.—With
little more than one-third of the
vote of the State reported, it is
practically certain that woman suf-
frage has again been defeated, that
‘the initiative and referendum has
been decisively carried, and that
the Republican party again is re-
stored to power in the state. The
Bull Moose party ran a poor third,
in sharp contrast to the 62.000
plurality Roosevelt had over Wil-
son,

MNS. J. PIERPONT MOTGAN.
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, widow of
the financier, is now to be classed with
Mrs. Russell Sage, Mre, E, H. Harrt-
man and Mrs. Robert Goelet among
the richest widows of America and
possibly of the world. The public bas
Known little of this very charming
ywoman who has cared absolutely noth-
ing for society with a capital S.
She has always had an antipathy for
the camera and not long ago informed
presumptuous reporter with photo-
graphic equipment that she would
break his camera if he attempted to
take her picture. A smile accompanied
her remark, however, and she sald it
ina kindly way.
It was while discussing this phase
of newspaper work that Mrs. Morgan
spoke of the unsought advertisements
associated with the philanthropic en-
terprises of ber daughter, Miss Anne
‘Tracy Morgan.
Mrs. Morgan is an ardent antisut-
fragist. Her conversion took place sev-
eral years ago after spending a week
In Colorado and seeing some conditions
of which she disapproved. They were
due, she was told, to the epfranchise-
| ment of women.
J. P. Morgan was twice married.
the present Mrs. Morgan, who was
Frances Loulse Tracy. daughter of
Charles Tracy, one of New York's
leading lawyers In the seventies, was
the magnate’s second wife. His first
wife, Miss Sturgis, lived only one year
after their marriage.
The Morgan house, at the corner of
Madison avenue and East Thirty-sisth
street, New York city. is notable be-
‘cause of the attractive gardens lying
between it and the home of J. P. Mor-
gan, Jr., on East Thirty-seventh street.
Including the Morgan building which
houses the Morgan private library and
art treasures, this fs on¢ of the most
attractive group of private residences
in the beart of the city.
The favorite home of Mrs. Morgan,
however, is Cragston. the country es-
tate.of the Morgan family at Mightand
Falls, N. ¥. Whenever Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan sailed abroad hampers of the
things produced there were sent to the
ship. The Morgan family consists of
@ son and three daughters. Two of
the latter are married, oue being the
wife of Herbert L. Satterlee; the other
is Mrs. Willlam Pierson Hamilton.
The youngest daughter. Miss Anne
‘Tracy Morgan, has been reported en-
gaged to be married almost as often
as Miss Elkins. To a friend not long
ago Miss Morgan said:
“I have not yet met a man whose
wife I'd rather be than the daughter of
J. Pierpont Morgan.”
‘The New Arm Bouquets,
With the advent of the new dances,
the ‘turkey trot, the’ tango and high
school glide. the, corsage bouquet has
become almost an impossibility, yet the
debutantes and dancing set must have
flowers to complete their costumes.
Of course no one will wear artificial
flowers. where there ts the slightest
possible way of wearlng natural ones,
50 the up to date florists have substi-
tuted ‘for the corsage bouquet the flow-
er spray or arm bouquet. The bou-
quets are made of sweet peas, violets,
orchids, roses~In fact: most any of the
seasonable flowers can be used. ‘These
are tied with ribbons to the arm of
the wearer and are both practical and
pretty.
Ide Tarbell a Judce.
Announcement was made recently by
the national association opposed to
woman suffrage that Miss Ida Mf. Tar-
bell, Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggin and
Miss Jeannette Leonard Gilder are the
Judges selected to decide what two
women out of all thosein the United
States can set down within 500 words
the best argument against woman suf-
frage and win the two $100 prizes of-
fered for such essay.
One prize is to go to the best argu-
ment submitted by any girl or woman
from the city and the other to the best
argument from the country. Only wo-
men are allowed to compete.

A Calendar.
To the modern world a calendar ts
merely a harmless necessary reminder
of weeks and days to be hung up on
New Year’s day and consulted in dat-
Ing letters throughout the year. It has
no such mournful sound as “calendari-
um” had for the ancient Romans. The
original calendar of their times was

called because interest was due from
the debtor on the calends, or first day
of each month. Seneca speaks of cal-
endar as a word invented on account of
human greed.
Liberty Bell’s Last Peal.
On the morning of June 8, 1935, the
Liberty bell, which for a century had
been Philadelphia’s greatest instru-
ment for showing joy or grief, was be-
ing tolled for Chief Justice John Mar-
shall,
On that occasion it yas badly
cracked, But, broken as it was, the
bell was afterward rung on great ocea-
sions, although the tones were but
sorry reminders.of the once powerful
sound. So it happened that on Wasb-
ington’s birthday, 1813. the old bell was
once again tolled in joy. At that time.
however, the previous crack became so
wide that the tones were completely
broken. It was never rung again after
that day.—Philadelpbia Ledger,
HOME CURED MEATS.
A reader of these notes who for sev-
eral years past has been enjoying his
fown home cured hams and bacon
gives the swriter the following recipe,
Wich be uses ‘in preparing them: As
soon ns the heat {s gone fromthe fresh
killed carcass it is cut up into the
desired sized pieces and dry pickled
in the following ouxture: For 700
pounds of meat he takes sixteen quart:
of barrel, salt, one and one-half pounds
of black pepper. half a dollar's worth
of brown sugar and tice ounces ‘of
saltpeter: Thiy mixture should be
thoroughly stirred until all the ingredi-
ents are well mined. Ie first places a
coating of the dressing on the slantmy
table where the meat fs to remain duz-
ing the pickling process. Into the sur-
face of each piece the mixture is thor-
oughly rubbed, particularly into the
evt surface and there clise to the
Doues. -Aftur bein; rubled the piaes
are placed on the tuble referred to
The hams are placed separately. ard
the side picees inteuded for bacon ere
corded up, with lsyers of the presery.t-
tive between. From seven to eight
days are required to properly. pickle
the bacon, and from cleven to fourteen
days are needed for the haz:s. If parts
become un orered during the pickling
process Darvel salt may De used to cov-
er them, ft smeking the meats the
time required varies for the hams and
Vacony and whether one wishes the
meat lightly or heavily smoked. On
being taLen from the smokehbouse
the pieces of meat are placed in un-
washed tlours sacks, so the sack ywill
hang helow the meat, and they will
keep in this way for years. Our friend
says this home cured meat is so Rood
that: it makes his mouth water every
thne he sinells it fryinz.
TESTING GRASS SEED.
A simple way to test one’s own grass
seed Is to take a good sized plate and
on this lay a piece of blotting paper
or muslin, One should then count ou:
on this 100 seeds of the grass seed te
be tested. Directly over the seed Iay
another plece of muslin. The cloths
should then be moistened and the test
ing outfit given a covering, preferably
another good sized plate. The seed
should be kept motst during the ger-
minating period, which fs about fire
days, the container being put where
the temperature wili run 60 degrees F.
or above. To give satisfactory results
in the field the test of the seed
should show a germination per cent of
at least 90. One may save much time
and annoyance and often avold the
danger of losing a crop of onions in the
fall by testing the black seed onions
in the same way, This fs particularly
true if the seed has been held over
from the preceding year or has heen
bought at a bargain counter price of
some Cheap John seed house.
KAFFIR CORN AND PEANUTS.:
IL M. Cottrell, agricultural extension
expert Iu charge of the Rock Island
demonstration trains that are beiue
run over its lines In Oklahoma and
Texas, recently made the statement in
one of his addresses that if the people
of Oklahoma would sow 3.000.000 acres
of Kafr corn and 200,000 acres of
Spanish peanuts during the present
Sear prosperity would be Insured for
every resident in the state. He refer-
red to the fact that fn a series of tests
with Kaffir corn and common corn con-
ducted by the Oklahoma experiment
station the former cereal outyielded the
latter more than two and a half times
‘and in several seasons ylelded heavily
when corn was a total failure. The
Spanish peanuts yield from thirty to
sixty bushels per acre, while the hay
that can be made from the tops often
pays for handling the crop.
PROFITABLE FARMING.
| Three farmers whose cases have
come to the writer's attention’at ran
dom during the past teu days have re
turned from market carrying checks
for $1,900, $4,000 and $5,000 for ship
ments of hogs and cattle sold. ‘These
amounts are not given because they
are in any sense extraordinars, but be
cause they do make plain that the busi-
ness of raising stock is a profitable
one. These instances cited are among
teus of thousands of others Mke them.
They are simply an Index of the splen-
did resources and wealth of the coun-
try and of the brains and thrift of the
hardy folk who till its soil and tend
its myriad flocks. These checks mean
more land perhaps, new machinery for
the ontdgor work, better educatfonal
advantages for the boys and girls and

Courteous Attention to ae
. . Among the Masons
You should be able and willing to impart masonic instruction, as well as to receive it.
Masonry's record is a source of pride and pleasure to all lovers of humanity.
Our lives should tally with our professions.—Squire and Compasses.
RATHER GIVE THAN RECEIVE
Selfishness is one of the most prevalent yet one of the most despised trait of human nature. It is to be regretted that when Masons are "delighted to honor" one of their kind by elevation to important positions of trust, that the act of elevating them does not eliminate or destroy the selfishness of the brother so honored, but it seldom has that much desired results.
However, the Masonic institution, by its teachings, does destroy selfishness and has caused many men to become real benefactors to the society and to the community. —Orphan's Home.
Some day when the cloud of prejudice has been dispelled by the searching-light of truth, the world will honor Masonry for its heroic service to freedom of thought and the liberty of faith. No part of its ministry has been more noble, no principle of its teaching has been more precious than its age-long and unwavering demand for the right and duty of every soul to seek that light by which no man was ever injured, and that truth which makes men free. Down through the ages—often when the highest crime was murder, but thinking, and when human conscience was dragged as a slave at the wheel of the ecclesiastical chariot—always and everywhere, Masonry has stood for the right of the soul to know the truth, and to look up unhidden from the lap of earth into the face of Him in those great hand it stands. Not freedom from faith but freedom of faith, has been, the watchword, on the ground that as despotism is the prolific source of skepticism.—Rev. Joseph Fort. Newton, Iowa
Freemasonry has been so often defined as a "system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols," that were the thought not so beautifully expressed the definition would have been long ago rejected as being too narrow. Its allegories and symbols are characteristic, but Freemasonry is more than a system of morality. The ray of light when passed through a prism is divided into its separate colors —so Freemasonry when dissected and analyzed most contain in its ceremonies symbols and its allegories, the elements of truth, all truth, or be false to its claims and pretentions.
Operative masonry is the art of erecting and adorning structures. Speculative, or freemasonry, is the art of building, adorning and improving the soul and mind; the art of building up character.—Ex.
Pythian Echoes.
Dear Editor:—Nearly a quarter of a century ago, Sir Knight Blocker, of Augusta, Ga., came to our proud city calmly nestling amidst the salubrious atmosphere of the deep blue sea, and presented to me and a few others the establishing of the splendid Pythian order which after surviving the most crucial ordeal of racial spite and venom today flourishes, as a green bay tree of beautiful women of sterling virtue and magnificent womanhood, in strong, brave men, of invulnerable characters, handsome in physique, gigantic, not only in brawn but also herculean in brain; veritable assets and blessings to Ethiopia's proud sons and entrancing daughters of America and other lands.
Home pride caused Sir Knight Blocker to work up and set the first K. of P lodge in Augusta, Fidelity Lodge, and Savannah came next. Such distinguished men as the "Black Spurgeon," Christian gentleman, profound scholar, traveler, lecturer, orator and hero of unparalleled race pride came within the hospitable gates of our Forest City and between the twilight hours and beautiful dawn of a new day set us up, made us, created us brave Knights, but we had no name or number and so they said, "Your number shall be No. 2, K of P," and I said, "Let the name be Crescent, a fac-simile of the beautiful crescent moon, queen of the night increasing in brilliancy and utility, growing in men, women and children of sweet innocency until in its service of friendship, charity and benevolence it would cover all Savannah, yea, permeate all Georgia. Me think the first lodge K. of P. of Augusta might be styled "father" and Crescent No. 2 of Savannah prolific Medonna of Georgia's Pythian and Caiantheans, for every man you meet throughout Georgia is a Pythian. The order in Georgia counts its braves by the thousands, and its money and lands by the thousands, notwithstanding the fact that some of the weak-knee left the ranks when the enemies hurled their false javelins of spite and venom at our vitals. Thank God, however, that victory proudly perched herself upon our proud Pythian banner borne heavenward in the thick of the-fight by the now sainted Chas. D. Creswell, whose Pythian heroism and bravery, like that evinced at the historic pass
of Thermopylee.
Sleep on brave Creswill until the resurrection bright morn, when the Pythians' legions shall greet thee at your phenomenal crowning. Your mantle still proudly rest upon the broad shoulders of your faithful, true and tried Hutto, around whom the truest and bravest Pythians have and are still rallying.
Sir Knight Gadsden while on his installing tour recommended that the lodges institute friendly rivalry and get a dispensation and endeavor to build up the weak places in the Order and the now existing lodges instead of instituting new and weak lodges. Crescent accepted the recommendation and put in a rally for fresh blood in the Crescent's veins. First, I gave to the Order and the especial lodge that I loved most, my own son, then, went among some of the most healthy, moral, intellectual and Christian of my friends and told them that Pythianism was a good thing and they ought to enjoy its benefits.
Thirty-two of my friends asked to take their applications into Crescent. I did so and 38 were passed upon favorably and initiated between the twilight of April 11th and the balmy dawn of April 12th. Like all good honest men, we went home early, wiser, braver and better, mea, truer Christians, truer husbands, nobler citizens, thirty-eight more are on the way to our castle. Our name is Crescent and under the brave leadership of the valiant, shrewd, fearless, but gentle, kind and just A. B. Singfield, Crescent shall ever be our name.
And now what else? Why that Eythian heroine, that noble woman and tireless worker for the uplift of the race, and especially the womanhood of the race, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Grand Worthy Counsellor of that splendid branch, the celebrated Court of Calanthe, Kuights of Pythias, has authorized me to help work up a new court and I am on the job; in tour weeks the court will be ready. The Crescent convention will meet at 616 E. Gwin nett street twice a week to enroll name and pay up and set up in 4 weeks time
The new Pythians represent the highest and best in every walk of life. Ministers, doctors, dentists, insurance men and women, clerks, bookkeepers, merchants, business men, etc. The court will be composed of some of the most refined, cultured, and erudite women of the race.
Crescent's aim in this revival is to make permanent and more glorious and efficient the lodge and court of our sainted Feay, Emanuel W. Houstoun, Dr. T. James Davis, Prof. J. C. Ross. Finally, may this multum in parvo bring many brave men and noble Calantheans into Crescent and into our Order.
I shall be delighted to know that the prophetic name of Crescent I gave it was not a mere dream or phantom in my prolific imagination and I shall console myself in the old Latin adage, "Veai, vidi vici." - John McIntosh, Principal Manle St. School.
Perpetual Pensions
Perpetual pensions are to be found in France as well as in England. On Aug. 21, 1755, the dauphin, son of Louis XV., when out rabbiting accidentally shot Yves de la Boissière, one of his suit. As a compensation a pension of £240 was conferred on Boissiere, with remainder to his heirs in perpetuity. Despite the many changes in the form of government, this pension has been paid ever since, and no member of the budget committee has ever suggested stopping it.
Moths and Butterflies.
Some moths look very much like butterflies, but there are two ways in which you can always tell the one from the other. Each has little slender feelers growing from the head, but the butterfly's feelers, or antennae, as they are called, have knobs on the ends. The antennae of the moth sometimes have tiny feathers on them and sometimes little spires, but they are never knobbed. Then, too, in alighting the butterfly always holds her wings erect, while the moth's droop or are nearly flat.
Bright and Lively.
An organist with a sense of humor is still chuckling about an announcement that was made on a Sunday morning by his pastor in a Fifth avenue church. The pastor said.
"I hope that every one will come to our lively, bright and inspiring service this evening; subject, 'Watching a man die.'" -New York Sun.
Her Chilly Retart
The late Dr. — of Malden, after pouring forth the story of his undying love in the most touching manner for over an hour to a young woman whom he hoped would become his fourth wife, was refused the second time. He started for the door; but, looking around, he said in a most thunderous tone, "By heavens, you are the coldest woman I ever saw!"
The young woman looked up and answered sweetly:
"Oh, no. doctor. You have seen three colder than I."—Boston Herald.
Not Wasted.
Mother—Johnny, did you take your cough medicine regularly in school, as I told you?
Johnny—No'm. 'Tommy Dodd liked it, an' he gimme an apple for it—Boston Transcript.
THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.
Go on in all simplicity. Do not be so anxious to win a quiet mind and it will be all the quieter. Do not examine so closely into the progress of your own soul. Do not crave so much to be perfect, but let your spiritual life be formed by your duties and by the actions which are called forth by circumstances.—Francis de Sales.

This dress combines a striped silk with a brocaded one, and the sleeves are sewed to the blouse at the long, drooping shoulder line. The blouse is closed at the left of the front and has an effective collar, jabot and cuffs, which in this instance are embroidered by hand. For the medium size the blouse will require two and three-quarter yards of material twenty-seven inches wide.

As dalymen it is necessary for us to pause and consider the farm itself and how we can best produce the necessary feeds before we even come to the care and keeping of the dairy cow herself, writes H. O. Daniels. Following is a brief history of crop and soil conditions upon our Connecticut farm: Twenty-four years ago this farm did not produce hay enough to feed five cows, a yoke of oven and one horse. Hay had to be purchased each spring. Upon attending farmers' meetings interest was awakened, and we began to study the analysis of feeds and fertilizers.

The illustration shows the udder of a dairy cow that comes near to the ideal. It belongs to Valessa Scott II, a pure bred Holstein, the first cow in the world to produce 40 pounds of butter in one week. Her record is 103.6 pounds of milk, 5.95 butter fat in one day; seven days, 60.1 milk, 41.57 butter fat; thirty days, 233.3 milk, 165.48 butter fat. Valessa Scott II is owned by Bernhard Meier, Finderne stock farms, Finderne, N. J. She has a daughter, Valessa Ormsby De Kol, who has a two-year-old record of 23.73 pounds of butter in seven days.

So we bought standing grass and later on heard about the slip and put one in, growing the corn necessary to fill it. We were the laughing stock of all the neighbors, but with silage we made more milk than before and have since added more silos until we have today 375 tons capacity and plant thirty-five acres to corn.
We begin by raising corn year after year on the same land. It was near the barn, and we did not want to hand the fodder so far, but after a time we found we were not getting as good results. A man who visited us suggested that we sow clover on the corn land and raise our corn somewhere else, and we finally decided to do it. We have tried clover for ensilage, and it is even better for feeding than when made into hay, especially the clover rowen or second crop. If the weather is wet and the clover hay cannot be cured put it in the silo. Clover silage will tide you over July and August, when the pastures dry up and the most critical period of milk production is at hand.

Twenty loads of stable manure on clover sod make an excellent foundation for the corn crop, and such sod will raise twenty-five tons of corn to the acre. After harvesting the corn we do not touch the land in the fall if the ground is level; if hilly we sow winter rye. We do not plow the land in the spring, but cut it all up with a cutaway harrow and sow two bushels oats, six quarts red clover, two quarts alsike and three quarts timothy with a drill. Lime is also used before sowing the seed and sown with a drill. This gives us in the second year a crop of oat hay which is fully as good for milk production as mixed hay and a second crop of clover.

The third year we have a solid crop of clover. Clover is too solid a crop to go into the silo alone. It has not sugar enough in it to preserve it well, and we like to have some timothy in it, as that supplies the necessary sugar and supplements what the clover lacks. This clover sod is used for our corn crop, and in this way we plow up the entire tillable area every three years.

Horns on a dairy cow are a common source of serious injury, especially toudders belonging to other cows in the herd. Unless the cow is to be used for show ring purposes, by all means remove her horns. This is most successfully done when she is a calf under three days of age. Simply clip away the hair surrounding the small buttons that are the future horns and rub on caustic potash until the skin bleeds slightly. If the work is properly done a dent can be felt in the skull after a few days, and no horns will ever develop. Dehorning of grown animals should be done in fall or winter, when there are no flies to bother the wound.—Farm Press.
