Savannah Tribune

The Savannah VOLUME XXVIII Will Issue Prizes Friday TO TAKE PLACE AT PEKIN THEATRE All Prize Contestants Must Repert by Wednesday Morning—Music by Pekin Orchestra—Final List Subscribers. At a meeting of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association on last Thursday night it was decided that the prizes to be awarded to the winners in the school children races yesterday at the baseball park will take place Friday afternoon, May 9th, at 5 o'clock. It is the purpose of the association to have these exercises very simple and not to hold the audience any longer than necessary. The management of the Pelin Theatre has made it possible for the theatre orchestra of eight pieces to render music for the occasion and it is expected that a large crowd will be out to listen to the excellent selections which this much talked of orchestra will play. They are of a very high class and will be listened to with much delight by the large crowd which will undoubtedly be out. Those in the ticket contest must make their return, to Mr. R. B. Heggs, 823 West Broad street not later than Wednesday afternoon 4 o'clock. Returns coming after this hour will not be considered in the contest. There will be no price of admission to witness these ceremonies and it will be an inspiration to the boys and girls who so admirably held up the honor of their schools on Friday afternoon for a large crowd to be out to witness the awarding of the prizes. In next Saturday's Tribune there will be a full report of the games together with the final report. Since last week several new subscriptions have been received.

On Tuesday evening, the larger boys of the church gave a great Western show at St. Mary's hall; it was quite a success. A large crowd of the younger people attended the show and spend a delightful evening at the hall. We congratulate the boys and express the hope of seeing them again on similar occasions. St. James A.

On Friday evening April 25th, at Odd Fellows hall, the Sunday school of St. Stephen's Episcopal church presented the operetta, "Peggy's Dream" before a crowded house. It did the hearts of the old good to look upon the young ones' first effort, and a commendable one it was too. The different parts were well executed, due, in great measure to the untiring efforts of Misses Geneva Stiles and Fannie Deveaux who had the training of the children in hand. The rector extends his thanks to all who contributed in any manner towards the success of the occasion. 1 00 1 00 P. E. Perry 1 00 1 00 Rev. R. H. Singleton 1 00 50 J. L. Jackson 1 00 2 00 G. H.

On Thursday night the introductory sermon was preaceed by the Rev. J. C. Williams of Brunswick, Ga., which was in every way both eloquent and thoughtful. On Friday morning at 9 o'clock half an hour was given to devotion; then the convention was organized with Rev. E. D. Gilden in the chair. The following officers were elected: Rev. G. W. Prathroo, vice-president; Mrs. Bessie Daughtry, secretary; Miss Anna M. Williams, treasurer; Mrs. Ida Miliken, organist, and the various committees were appointed. With interest a report of the district superintendent was listened to. It showed that the Sunday-schools and Epworth League were on a steady increase. Reports of the various Sunday-schools and Epworth League Chapters were then called. They were very interesting. Friday night a powerful sermon was preached by Rev. D. H. Martin, of St. Mary's Ga. It was a plea for sobriety and godly living. Saturday was devoted to a literary program which touched nearly every phase of life of a struggling people and Sunday-school work. Many resolutions were offered and acted upon at night. Rev. E. J. Kimball of Baxley, preached a very beautiful sermon. Sunday at 11 o'clock Rev. W. V. Daughtry preached to a great crowd which contained persons of both races. It was a very impressive discourse and was very uplifting. Rev. C. W. Prothro, of Savannah preached at 3 o'clock p.m., to a packed house of earnest listeners. The delegates to the convention were royally entertained and the meeting in general was one of the most successful in the history of the district. St. Marg's is the place where the district convention will meet next year. *Social Happenings . Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

In his address much helpful advice was given the young people. As Sunday May 4, is consecration night each member will please respond to the calling of the roll. The subject, "The ideal Christian (his prayers) Matt. 6:5-13 Monumental Notes Last Sunday was the winding up of the second quarterly meeting. Owing to the fact that the great revival and soul saving meeting was still going on, the conference couldn't be carried out as usual, but every secretary had a good report. The presiding elder, Dr. B. S. Hannah, preached two able sermons Sunday. Sunday school in the morning was as usual good, both financially and numerically. Dr. Townsley was on hand as usual, and was also out at 6 p. m. to meet with the Allen League workers, and made a very splendid illustrated talk on the topic. Monday night Rev. R. Brady preached. Rev. N. Bembry had the meeting in charge from Tuesday thus closing the revival meeting. His sermons all week were very beautiful. Tomorrow will be a blooming and happy day in the old mother church, whereby 140 men, women and children will be fellowshipped in the church. Services tomorrow: prayer meeting 5:30 a.m. Sunday school 9:30 a.m., preaching and baptism of infants and adults at 11 a.m., preaching, communion and fellowshiping at 3 p.m., A. C. E. League 6 p.m., preaching and communion at 8 p.m. You are welcome. Tribune Mrs. Susie Taylor Praised The memory of the late Mrs. Susie A. K. Taylor of Boston, Mass., was litingly honored last Sunday afternoon with memorial services in the 4th M. E. church, of which she was a founder, the church being packed to its utmost capacity by those eager to show their appreciation of the worth and life of this remarkable Colored woman. The memorial was given by the 4th M. E. church, Robert A. Bell, Post 13, G. A. R., Woman Relief Corps 67, the Georgian club and Mrs. Roger Wolcott auxiliary. After the organ voluntary by Miss Ella Roan, and invocation by the pastor, the choir sang and Dr. Alice Woody McKane introduced the master of ceremonies. Adj. I. S. Mullen of Robert A. Bell Post. Dr. McKane said a prime object was to impress the children whom Mrs. Taylor loved, with the beauty and goodness of her life. She spoke of her various activities as an army nurse under Col. Robert Gould Shaw, a school teacher in Georgia, charter member of Corp 67, W. R. C. of Mass., church pillar and missionary worker. She died October, 1912. Adj. Mullen spoke touchingly of the noble and dangerous work of army nurses, one of which Mrs. Taylor became as a girl in 1863. He paid her a glowing tribute for her support of the Colored veterans ever since the war. REV. KING'S TRIBUTE. After a splendid tenor solo by Mr. T. Wolcott Swan, Rev. W. J. King, pastor, told in a simple but impressive way of Mrs. Taylor's help to that church, saying she was a founder, that she was constantly with it, though it times dwindled to almost herself, that at times she kept the church alive for several years, when the white people of the Methodist connection thought it should be abolished as the membership grew so small when the Colored people left the West End. He told how she chopped the door open one Sunday when it was closed against them. Finally she helped bring about the the present church time after which she rapidly failed in health, as if her life's work was done. A most beautiful tribute was paid to Mrs. Taylor by Mrs. Dorcas Lyman, past president of the Mass. Department Woman's Relief Corps. She said that she never was in Mrs. Taylor's company without feeling she had become a better woman. She said. "All of us should take Mrs. Taylor's life as a model. She said volumes might be said of her. She said Mrs. Taylor's great grandmother had five sons in the Revolutionary War. Mrs. Taylor studied secretly as a slave and went as an army nurse under Col. Shaw in 1863, serving three years without pay. In 1865 she opened a school in Savannah and in 1866 came to Boston. She organized the Colored corps for Robt. Bell Post. Mr. Mullen had had a veteran, Mr. Phillips, who was nursed by her, stand up to be seen. In 1893 she became president of the corps. She was highly respected by the National W. R. C. Her life was a constant sacrifice for others. After the sweet rendition of "Crossing the Bar" by Mrs. Eleanor Smith, Rev. A. W. Puller of Calvary Baptist church was called upon in place of Dr. Charles G. Steward, who could not be present for the Georgia Club. He said Mrs. Taylor was surely worthy to receive such praises. He wanted "the flowers given to the living," help and praise during life. He made a strong appeal to succor and support those peace heroes who were doing their part for the race, singing out those in business, those working for equal rights who were not now appreciated, even the mothers who served by hard work at the wash tub and in other ways. Nurse them now he said. After the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" by the choir, the benediction was given by Rev. King. The Memorial committee were Dr. Alice Woody McKane, Mrs. Maude Trotter Steward, Mrs. Samuel Washington, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Rippley, Rev. M. J. King, Mrs. Lizzie Johnson, Mrs. Ada Law, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, Mrs. Sadie Thomas, Mrs. Cornelia Robinson, Mrs. Octavia Armstead. The ushers were Mrs. L. S. Stephens, Mrs. Rose Fatio. Mrs. Bessie Simmons, Mrs. Emma Longwood — Boston Guardian. Carnegie Library Is Assured Carnegie Library Is Assured BUILDING LOT ALREADY PURCHASED Balance of $175 00 Due on Lot —Plans for Library Accepted By Curators—All Subscribers Asked to Pay Pledges The light to raise a sufficient amount of money among the Negroes of the city to buy a lot on which the Carnegie library will be erected has been won by the curators of the library and it is now but a short time before active work on the building will begin. The library will be erected on Henry street, east, just opposite Dixon park. The lots were purchased sometime ago and is in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the city. The struggle which the curators had in raising the money to meet Mr. Carnegie's offer was a very hard one and has been waged on for several years. The money was raised by subscription, most of which has been paid. There are many, however, who have not yet paid their pledges and the curators are very anxious to get all the money, so as to meet an indebtedness of one hundred and seventy-five dollars, still due on the purchase price of the lots. The following is a letter from Mr. A. L. Tucker, chairman of the board of curators: Savannah, Ga., Apr. 30, 1913. Editor Savannah Tribune; Dear Sir: Permit me to state through the columns of your paper that the Carnegie library for the Colored citizens of Savannah is an assured fact. The lot has been purchased, paid for and deeded to the city. The plans for the library building as having been drawn by architect, J. De Bruyn Kops have been accepted by the curators and approved by Mr. Carnegie's representative and now the next thing, which will be done as soon as Mr. Kops can do it, is to draw plans and specifications and call for bids which he informs me that he will proceed to do immediately. I desire further to state that there is a balance due on the purchase of these lots of $175.00 which the curators have borrowed individually and paid. Sufficient money has been pledged by the citizens of Sayannah to more than make up this deficiency. This statement then, is to inform these good people who have pledged this money that it is needed now to refund this indebtedness of $175.00. Trusting that you will see that we need this money and will willingly make good your pledges, I am. Respectfully, A. L. Tucker, Chairman. Board of Curators Beth Eden Church Services were well attended Sunday. The Sunday school shows a very marked increase: Rev. James Rogers preached a very inspiring sermon in the morning, and at night the pastor, Rev. N. M. Clarke, preached from Gen. 13-18. His subject was "Strife." Services tomorrow will be as follow: Prayer meeting at 6:30 a. m., Sunday school 9:45 a. m., preaching and baptism 11 a. m., subject, "The necessity of a baptism by Jesus." B. Y. P.

Board, preached an able sermon at the morning and evening services on last Sunday at the First African Baptist church. The text at the morning service was selected from Acts 16:05-31. subject "The Great Question;" at the evening service from St Matthew 18:9 Dr. Craft is in the city perfecting arrangements for the National B. Y. P. U. congress which will be held here July 5th to 14th. This promise to be a notable gathering of eminent Baptist ministers and other leaders of the denomination, much interest is expected to be manifested by all the Baptist churches in the city. Rev. E W. D. Isaac was expected to reach the city during last week, but was stricken with illness. Mrs. Tena Maxwell, a faithful and loyal member of long standing was buried from the church on last Sunday morning, the pastor, Rev W. L. Jones, officiated. The Independent Order of St. Luke, of which she was a member, and a number of friends attended the funeral. The revival service closed on last Thursday evening. Rev J. K. Nesbit of Augusta, wisely assisted the pastor in the meeting, also other visiting ministers. The proof of the success of the meetings will be the Baptism of a number of candidates on to-morrow (Sunday) morning at 6:30 o'clock. A number of members have been restored to the church likewise. A number of good sisters of the church, headed with Miss Mary J. Townsend presented the pastor with a beautiful new baptismal gown, which he will use on to-morrow for its first time. The B. Y. P. U., under the presidency of Mr. John Delaware, is making marked progress. The devotional and literary parts of the programme are interesting. You are invited to be present each Sunday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 o'clock. Mr. S. M. Lee is ably promoting the interest of the Sunday school, with his efficient corps of teachers. The attendance is larger than it has been for several years. Communion services will be held at 8:30 o'clock to-morrow. An invitation is extended to the ministers of the city and their board of officers, also their congregation. Visitors are welcome at all times to our services. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS BOOMING The Work of the Grand Lodge an Endorsement of Itself. And Every Knock Is a Boost to It We have repeatedly argued the inexpediency of following precedents when it has been established that certain of them militate against the principles of justice and economy. We have contended that men in high places should regard the present needs and frame their conduct after them if they would avoid the contumely and blame of those who seek to precipitate trouble for slight cause. Now the foregoing is occasioned by the promiscuous fulmination of a set that would set ablaze the woods all over the state with the flame of dissention, taking the use of the law of expedition so lightly as to make the law of precedence pale into insignificance. From our entrance into the order the custom has been in vogue to continue the Grand Lodge sessions as a legislative body throughout its entire length, regardless as to who remains or who leaves the hall. In this there is nothing reprehensible. It has also happened that reconsiderations of legislation passed are voted upon, in many instances, revoking legislation already settled. This being done by the same body is within the preview of the law and cannot be rationally adjudged unjust in that it is liable that a person or a body of persons should discover their mistakes and set about to remedy them. And, too, it is always within the rights of the members of the lodge to vote their convictions with refer- --- ence to any and all changes which may be attempted, and to, thereby, sustain the will of the body previously expressed if that will has not undergone a change. But this cannot be done if the members of the lodge absent themselves from the castle hall for any cause whatsoever. The fact that a great number of them do absent themselves at crucial moments gives rise to the very things about which the Supreme Circle News complains and for which it is attempting to hold the Grand Chancellor responsible. The injustice of settling this blame upon one person rests neither in the right nor wisdom of the person; for it is well known that one vote cannot change laws except in instances where that vote is the deciding power. Hence the injustice of the attempt to saddle the blame for the reversal of legislation on the Grand Chancellor. Again the Grand Chancellor is the presiding officer of the grand lodge and puts before the people the will and the thought of the individual, whose will becomes the will of the people by an expression of their will by means of their vote. When, then, this proposition becomes the voice of the people, it is and of a right ought to be greater than any individual', the Grand Chancellor excepted. Therefore, if one stays in the range of reason he cannot saddle the responsibility of subsequent changes of legislation to the Grand Chancellor, however much this legislation may be against his liking. After all it would be a wise to ask, why is all this cavil? Why should men search and drag about for a cause for strife? What emergency has there firisen to warrant a change of the head of any branch of the order? Does simply a clamor of a dis-satisfied element render valid and rational a demand for a change? None of the foregoing questions can be reasonably answered in an affirmative vain. For since the last grand lodge every of fice has busied himself in an effort to build to the eternal fitness and progress of the order. Every move has been made for the relief of the burden of the rank and file by plans to lighten the burdens which have of a necessity been borne by them. The grand lodge has been increased by the institution of 38 new lodges, each of which was away above the requisite number for institution. Commensurate thereto the Endowment fund has increased to a point far beyond the danger mark. Each of the departments of the order is in a healthful condition showing conclusively that the business of the entire order is in a healthy and prosperous condition. The rank and file of the order are satisfied that their interests are safe guarded and they are contented and happy. The charter so long held in check has been obtained by the Grand Chancellor and the same has been received and recorded by the grand lodge. The Grand Chancellor is the presiding officer, for the first time in Georgia, over an order of colored Pythian Knights operating under a state charter. All of the foregoing has transpired under the administration of the Hon. G. R. Hutto. For much of this he has been directly responsible. In all of it his efficient set of associates have materially aided, so that in spite of cavil to the contrary, the administration is and has been a success so palpable and potent that the vaporings and fulminations of the opposition count but dross. Since this is a fact it is the duty of every Pythian Knight of the jurisdiction to rally to the support of the administration and to continue the present unprecedented progress of the order, basing their actions upon the well established truth that no exegency has arisen to warrant a change of the present management of the order. Edward Winfred Sherman. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met on Tuesday with Rev. M. H. Rutherford, presiding. Devosional service was conducted by Dr. R. H. Singleton The topic of the day was a sermon by Rev. E. D. Giddens. It was from Malichi 3rd chapter and 6 verse. "Will a man rob God." Next Tuesday the union will meet at Asbury M. E. church. The subject will be sermonic report. Badly Expressed. Mistress (getting ready for reception) —How does my new gown look in the back, Korah? Maid—Beautiful, mum.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson V.—Second Quarter, For May 4, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Gen. xl, 9-23. Memory Verses, 14, 15—Golden Text, Job xxxii, 8—Commentary Prepare# by Rev. D. M. Stearns, Today's chapter suggests the dreams of Scripture and shows how God uses even a dream as a link in His chain of providences. He warned Abimelech and Laban in a dream, revealed Him self to Jacob in dreams; also spoke to Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar in dreams (Gen. xx. 5, 6; xxviii. 12; xxxi. 10, 11, 21; xvi. 1, 7; Dan. i. 1. Gideon also and Solomon heard God in a dream (Judg. iii. 13; I Kings iii. 5, 150. In connection with the birth and infancy of Jesus there were several communications by dreams and Photos wife suffered in a dream because of Dum at the end of His ministry. We cannot but think, of Job's life, in 1117 where we read of Jesus in a dream, in a vision of the night when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed that He may withdraw man from his purpose and hide pride from man. We think also of Num. xii. GS, where He said that while He might talk to others in a vision and in a dream. He would speak to Moses. His servant, mouth to mouth; therefore it is written of Moses, "There arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face" (Deut. xxxiv. 10). While there are no degrees in salvation and all who are truly redeemed are equally safe by virtue of the great atonement, there are great differences in the intimacy of the redeemed with the Lord and in their fellowship with Him. I suppose that no two righteous men could be farther apart in this matter than Abram and Lot, and not many exceed Joseph in his intimacy with God, but think of what it cost him: And just there is our difficulty. Many are glad to rejoice in their personal salvation, but few comparatively are willing to humble themselves to walk with God as He desires they should. In that sense "many are called, but few are chosen." It means so much to deny self, be always delivered unto death, but in no other way can the life of Christ be manifest in these mortal bodies (I Cor. 19, 10, 11). One would scarcely believe that the offense of Pharaoh's chief butter and baker could possibly have anything to do with the working out of God's plan for Joseph and that the wrath of man could thus be overruled, but it is a weighty saying: "Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee" (Ps. lxxvi, 10). Why should Joseph care whether these men were sad or otherwise? Had he not enough troubles of his own? But see the compassion of Christ, who could take some hours on the resurrection afternoon to walk with and comfort two sad men. It sounds odd to hear Joseph say to these men concerning their dreams: "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell me, I pray you" (verses 6-8). If he had said, "Tell God, who only can interpret," it would seem all right. But it was all right, for Joseph knew God and represented God, and God was with him. As he was able to interpret the dreams of these men he must have been able to understand the dreams that God gave to him and was, as suggested in a previous lesson, no doubt sustained by the future which they revealed to him. Yet he felt the time long, and the wrong which he was enduring, for hear him as he says so pitifully: "Indeed, I was stolen away * * * And here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon. Think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me and make mention of me unto Pharaoh and bring me out of this house" (verses 14, 15). What a record in verse 23. "Yet did not, the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgot him." Some one has said that such people are not all called "butler." There is a record in Ecel. ix. 15, of a poor wise man, who by his wisdom delivered a city, yet no man remembered that same poor man. What shall we say of Him, who, though He was rich, for our sakes became poor and humbled Himself unto death for us that we, through His poverty, might be rich, and yet who of us remembers Him in any way as we should? Miss Habershon's typical suggestions from this chapter are in reference to Jesus being bound and led away. His hands and feet pierced, two malefactors crucified with Him, a message of life to the one only (Matt. xxvil; 2; Ps. xxil; 16; Luke xxil; 23. 43). Joseph said: "Wherefore took ye so sadly? Think on me, show kindness unto me, make\mention of me, and he served them (Luke xxil, 27; xxiv, 17; 1 Cor. xl, 24; Matt. xxv. 40; xv. 32). We must not forget the being numbered with transgressors (Isa. lili. 12; Luke xxii. 37). It must have hurt Joseph badly to be accused of the very thing he scorned to do, and no doubt the report was circulated in Potphar's household and elsewhere and believed in many, and the model young man held us to ridicule. Think of the Lord Jesus ridiculed as a glutton, a winebibber, a companion of slunners, possessed by the devil, crucified as an evildoer, scoffed at as He suffered. But God raised Him from the dead and gare Him glory. Miss Suzanne Pierson, a Pretty New York Girl. 19 Miss Suzanne Pierson, whose portrait is shown herewith, is the daughter of Mrs. J. Frederick Pierson of New York city. She is posting to represent the painting "A Broken Pitcher," by Grenze, a famous French artist of the seventeenth century. As can be seen, the little girl is very attent, on making her effort a success. Those young folks who have posed in tideau and pictures snow how difficult it is to keep perfectly still so that the effect of the scene is not marred by movement. The living picture shown is one of a series given by the society folk of New York city for charitable purposes. Stray Syllables It is surprising how often the same syllable is used in different words. If you would like to prove this and at the same time entertain a party of people try the following game: Ask each one of the party to write several words on a strip of paper, leaving spaces of about half an inch between the syllables of the different words. When this is done cut the syllables apart, shuffle them together and let each person draw three. The party should be seated around a table, and each player, with his syllables before him, tries to construct a word with them. Each player tries, and if it is impossible to make a word from his syllables he must return two to the pile and wait till his turn comes again, when he may draw two more syllables and try again. If a prize is offered for the person making the most words a time limit should be made, say twenty minutes, and the one making the most words in that time is the winner. Organ Grinder and Monkey Organ Grinder and Monkeys This is fun for the younger children. All can be monkeys except one, who is the organ grinder. He asks each one what he can do as a monkey, and one perhaps will say that he can pull off his cap and bow; one can hold his cap for pennies, another climb up to the window, and so the grinder says he will take them all, but one at a time. The monkeys do not act their parts to please him, and he gets very angry and calls to them. "You bad monk; you no good; I put you in the cellar," which he does by standing the monkey in a certain corner. Here he must stay till all the monkeys have been tried and rejected. When the last one is put in the cellar all of them rush out and try to escape. The grinder pursues them till he catches one to play monkey for him again, when the game may start anew. This can be played out of doors in good weather, as it is rather a romping game Rigmarole. In the game of rigmarole some one begins to tell a tale of thrilling adventure and stops short at an exciting point, when his next neighbor must take up and carry on the story to a place where he, too, stops suddenly, and the next one goes on with it, and so on around the circle. This may be "cut short" by the appearance of refreshments, which, to be appropriate, should consist of tiny cups of coffee and sandwiches and cake cut about an inch and a half square. The paper napkins may have a corner cut off. Other ideas may be developed in preparing such an entertainment. Peg Awayl PATE'S DRUG STORE GEO.

As water alone cannot render grease soluble, it is impossible to cleanse most clothes without the aid of an agent which is capable of so doing. The cleaning and soiving properties of soap are entirely due to the alkaline constituents, the fatty acids being employed only to modify the injurious property of alkali. When buying soap it is desirable to procure that made by a well known reliable manufacturer, as one is less likely to get an inferior article. It is also better to buy it in large quantities, as large quantities are usually sold at a considerable reduction in price, and soap improves in quality and durability by keeping. Soap may be used as a solid, or it may be dissolved and used as a liquid. In whatever form its action is that of a grease solvent and purifying agent. It is used in the solid or hard state for strong material without color, when its strength may be concentrated by rubbing it on the particularly dirty parts, so that they may be more easily and thoroughly cleansed. Soap powder is principally composed of soda and water, and as washing soda does not cost more than one-fifth the price of soap powder, it would be more economical for the housekeeper to use that substance with the addition of a little soap solution to the water, which would form a lather equally as well, and the work of cleansing would be as effectual as when soap powder is used. Magic Cleaning Fluid. For cleaning delicate fabrics this method is said not to fade or injure the finest color: Grate raw potatoes to a pulp, add one pint of water to one pound of the potato pulp, stir and wash between the hands, then drain the water from the pulp through a fine sieve or cloth. Let it stand in the vessel until the fine white starch settles to the bottom, then pour off the clear water, which is what you use for cleaning. The settings are used for potato starch for stiffening fine materials. For cleaning, sponge with the liquid, applying until all soil is removed, rinse in clear water and iron on the wrong side. For white silk, which may be passed through the water as through suds, add a very little borax to the water. Party dresses and white cashmeres clean beautifully by this method. Odorless Lard. To take away the odor of pork from lard buy leaf lard and while melting put several apples with the skins on, well washed and dried, into the melting pot. It gives the lard a fine flavor, and it can be used instead of butter in almost any pastry. Her Chilly Retort 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. Through Child Exes 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. The average strength of a woman compared with that of a man is as 67 to 100. SAVANNAH. GEORGIA The Moon. Astronomers long since came to the conclusion that the moon's surface is very hot during the height of the lunar day, which, as will be remembered, lasts two weeks, and very cold during the lunar night, which is equally long. These extremes of temperature reach their height at the lunar moon and midnight and are greater than any natural temperatures on the earth. Sights In the Arctic. Explorers who penetrate the Arctic and Antarctic seas have an chance to observe one of the strongest phenomena in nature, that of smoke rising from the sea. Whenever the temperature falls to 15 degrees below zero clouds of steaming vapor ascend from the ocean, to be immediately frozen into tiny particles of ice and dropped once more into the water. The same thing takes place on land, the vapor rising from the snow and even from the bodies of the explorers themselves. In this case, however, the ice particles fall on the ground and make a welfd rustling, like the swish of a silk dress. At 40 degrees below zero the sap of trees is turned to ice, and the trunks burst asunder with a sharp report. These mysterious sounds and sights are awe inspiring to all who do not know their cause, and they may account for: some of the strange tales that are t. of the frozen north. Power of a Lightning Flash Power of a Lightning Flash. It is hardly possible to use instruments for the purpose of figuring the force of lightning, yet there are many other ways of calculating familiar to every mathematician. The amount of light given by a single lightning flash is enough to illuminate an area two miles square. The bolt itself would be visible several miles farther off, but the remotest part of the region mentioned would have as much light as would be given by a candle, quite enough to read by. To produce such a light it would be necessary to expend 13,000 horsepower for a second. These figures appear very large, but the time is short. The flash might be only one one-thousandth part of a second, but the impression on the eye would continue for a tenth of a second anyway. Figured down to an exact hour, this amount of force would mean only about four horsepower — Electric News. Just as Good. A teacher was taking a class of small children in English grammar and was explaining the difference between a common and an abstract noun. "An example of a common noun is dog, she said, 'for you can see it, while you cannot see anything that is an abstract noun. "For instance, have any of you seen blind mice?" There was silence for about a minute. Then a little boy got up and said: "Please, matam. I have never seen a bun dance, but I have seen a cuke walk."—London Telegraph. The Letter I. The name of "I" is in Hebrew, jod on jot, a hand, and the earliest characters representative of the sound closely resemble a hand with but three fingers. Little by little one finger after another dropped off until only the little finger was left, and the letter became the smallest in the alphabet, a jot or title, that is, the "I" and its dot being synonymous of the most insignificant things that could be described. The Main Problem: "I suppose that there are many problems which polar explorers seek to solve?" said the unscientific man. "Yes," replied the intrepid traveler. "a great many." "What is the most important one?" "Getting back." Bald. Knicker—The snows of seventy winters are on his head. Bocker—Well, they must have been open winters.—New York Sun. The brave man carves out his fortune, and every man is the son of his own works.—Cervantes. THE SELECTION OF A DAIRY BREED There is no necessity for hesitation in the selection of a dairy breed, says the Kansas Farmer. Therefore it is our judgment that certain conditions should govern in the selection of a breed. These are conditions of environment more than anything else. However, we are more and more convinced that the question of individuality is of greater importance than the breed. It is possible for the man who is a good judge of dairy cattle to go into the country and pick up cows here and there and bring together a herd of at most any size the individuals of which would be good milkers and not in one animal would there be a drop of dairy blood. This fact, together with the fact that among the pure breeds of all breeds are some of the worst kind of serils, proves the contention that individuality is not more important than the breed, but fully as important as the breeding. It is not necessary for any farmer who has a desire to build up a herd of profitable producing cows to go into the breeding of pure bred cat- Photo by University of Nevada The great records in milk and butter fat production made by the Holstems in recent years have aroused universal interest in that great breed of dairy cattle. While admirers of other dairy breeds acknowledge that Holstems are great producers, they claim that the Jerseys, Ayrshire and Guernseys, as the case may be, produce milk and butter more economically. As a matter of fact, all the recognized dairy breeds are winners in the hands of competent men. Tuebie Peterje, Carolant Thead, shown herewith, was first prize aged Holstem bull at the 1912 California state fair. He was bred and is owned by the University of Nevada. tle of any breed. If he has the ability to judge and select he can obtain animals of nondescript breeding which will furnish him with profitable quantities of milk. In doing this, however, he does not accomplish the results which as a dairyman will give him the largest return. We have yet to know the first dairy farmer who has undertaken the building up of a herd along lines of good breeding as well as good individuality who has not been able to sell all the surplus pure bred stock he produced at good prices. The production of milk and cream is only one side of profitable dairying. What may be termed the side issues not infrequently become the principal sources of income. The power of heredity must be recognized. It is absolutely certain that the quality of live stock—whether it be dairy cows or stock cattle—cannot be improved unless better blood be brought into that herd from the outside. It is only by intelligent breeding on systematic lines that quality can be obtained or maintained. The object of quality is that of utility through a cow which will produce more butter fat or a calf which will grow more rapidly, mature earlier and which will place beef on its back at a lower cost. It is useless to undertake to improve any herd unless it be that the utility of the herd is to be improved. Haphazard breeding with no definite determination as to utility is the bane of the live stock business in general. Determine first that a better service must be required from our herds and breed to that end. TICE OF NEW WEST BROAD STREET the very liberal patronage which has made Very Respectfully, G. H. BOW ORDAN. WLLIAM J. Bamboo and Fillet Muffin Stands. Daintily fragile looking, yet perfectly reliable, are the new muffin stands of bamboo and fillet lace. The three legs which extend upward form a frame of such extreme slenderness that it seems too ethereal for ordinary use. Nevertheless it is stout enough to support four shelves, of graduated size made of tightly drawn and closely woven linen cords covered with mats of embroidered fillet net edged with fillet lace. These mats, being three cornered and tied to the legs of the standard by narrow white ribbons, are readily detached and cleaned. And, although the network of cording under them looks delicate, it is strong enough to support a china plate piled high with tea cakes. The stand has the usual high arched handle also of bamboo, and the whole affair is the lightest thing of its kind. Moreover, it is not difficult to make, as any carpenter can cut the bamboo sticks so that they will stand evenly and firmly, while fingers left enough to embroider fillet mats should be able to weave and adjust the cording shelves. FASHION HINT The blouse is a simple one with set in sleeves and is closed at the front. The overblouse is made with rather large armholes finished with trimming and also is closed at the front. It is made of plain crepe de chine over brocade and with yoke and collar of thin net. A quite different ef- 10 fect could be made by making the overbouse and sleeves of brocaded material and the bosom of tucked net or soft silk. The Bulgarian effects are being much used, too, and the overbouse and sleeves of dark blue or tan color or some such quiet tone with bosom of Bulgarian silk would be rich in color and serviceable. For a medium sized woman two yards of twenty-seven inch wide material will be needed. For the stock collar and yoke it will take a half yard of thirty-six inch material. Six yards of banding will be needed. This May Manton pattern is cut in sizes from 24 to 42 inches bust measure.

By JUDIC CHOLLET SMART NEW BLOUSE (continued from last week) A GREAT SPEECH A Beautiful Example And now, dear friends, continued the speaker, say what you may, but at last you will agree with me, that the white man sets for us many beautiful examples which we cannot afford to everlook. One of these examples is found exemplified in the industrial insurance business where he is found retired in absolute conclusions, to create and hold desirable positions only, for his own kith and kin, regardless of the amount of patronage that, as Negroes, we are giving. No give to the brilliant Ga. Mutual and other worthy Negro insurance companies of its kind, all of your insurance hereafter, as this is the only way by which you can carry out this beautiful example.

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. Unsatisfactory Either Way. The late Joaquil Miller once entertained among the train of pilgrims continually flocking to his Piedmont camp, above Oakland, a young woman fortune teller. Though the young woman was both pretty and persuasive, the poet would not let her tell his fortune. He said gravely, pushing back his leonine white mane: "No, no! A peep into the future would undoubtedly be as unsatisfactory to all of us as a glance at the past"—Exchange. First Life Policy "The first life insurance policy that was ever issued is said to have been written on June 18, 1583, and to have been for £283 6s. 8d. 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 29, 1584, 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. 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.

It requires no depth of thought or breadth of intellect for one to find facts in refutation of the recent statement of the editor of one of our leading southern dailies, that the Negro in freedom is little if any, better off than the Negro in slavery and that only a thin crust of the Negro race has made any progress since emancipation worthy of mention. A mere glance at the statistical reports of the various bureaus of the United States will reveal that in education, finance and religion, the Negro has and is still holding his own. Out of a totality in number of ten million members of the race, we can point with pride to thousands yea hundreds of thousands of our people who own their homes which are free from mortages and which were bought since emancipation. We have our own doctors, our own lawyers, our own teachers and our preachers in large numbers. We have our own mercantile establishments, our own financial institutions, banks and insurance companies, and even our own Negro towns, established and manned by black men. Our illiteracy has been reduced over 70 per cent. since the civil war. Our homes are cultured and refined. We are and have always striven to be a constructive rather than a destructive force in whatever community we find ourselves. We believe in good government; in law and order; we hearten to the call of the bugle as readily and as willingly as any one else. We have long since regarded this country's interest as our interest. We rise when it rises and falls when it falls. Hence our efforts to add to its stability and growth rather than detract from the same. Surely it cannot be safely said of any race whose progress has justified the foregoing enumeration, that it has made little if any progress. The editor of our great southern daily is far away from the fact when he argues that our people has been practically at a standstill. So far as their progress is concerned, since the civil war. It is true that the great bulk of our people have not been signally successful in their struggle for existence. The same may be said of almost every other race. It is the talented tenth that counts in any equation of racial progress. The more talented is the tenth, the higher will the race lifted thereby. Yes we believe that our esteemed contemporary has juggled facts concerning us in a rather alarming way. We maintain that our people are making progress and that at the present day this progress is greater than ever in the history of the race. That these are anxious and important days for our government and that it is facing one of the most crucial periods in its present history, no one can deny. With the new tariff measure which is designed to solve the problem of the high cost of living and to improve the general economic condition of the country, now a paramount issue with us; with the California legislature threatening to pass on anti alien land bill which may plunge us into war with Japan, engaging our attention; and with the Panama canal toll act, which will all free passage of American ship, only, through the big ditch, causing England and other European countries to assume a somewhat unfriendly attitude toward us, our government must realize that the present day calls for the most tactful and ingenuous action in order that trouble both from within and without may be avoided. There is no doubt that at the present time there is a spirit of much unrest among the people of our government. This unrest is largely due to the present economic condition which makes it very difficult for the poor man or wage earners to make ends meet. From this state there is an urgent cry-for-relief.—The party in-power has promised this relief by means of such a revision of the tariff that the high cost of living and other economic problems which make the present struggle for existence among the inhabitants of our country so inquable, will be a condition which will no longer obtain. The people of the United States are crying for relief from the present condition. And relief must come. If not, the domestic stableness of our government will be very seriously impaired. And can our government stand any domestic upheaval at this time? We believe not. None the less is it a fact, that owing to certain recent development, our future friendship with Japan and England and other European countries is a varying quality of much uncertainty, This is to regretted. For us to engage in war with any nation at this time, would be very unwise and untimely. Our domestic problems have assumed such proportions that our entire attention to them is necessary in order that a satisfactory solution of them may be brought about. There is no denying the fact that the problems, both of a domestic and foreign nature, which confront our country to-day, require serious thought and attention. For our government to act wisely, in the present crisis, means years of happiness and plenty. For it to make a blunder, may mean a long period of bloodshed and other kindred unhappiness. The democratic party which is now at the helm of the government has a great responsibility on its hands. It is face to face with a crisis in the history of our country. Let it act wisely and it will win the everlasting plaudits of all serious minded citizens of our country regardless as party affiliation; let it act unwise and its rule will be short lived. It is sincerely hoped that under the leadership of President Wilson Secretary of State Bryan. Speaker Clark. Representative Underwood and other party leaders that in this great crisis with which our country stands face to face that the democratic party will choose the "better part." To The Public In reference to my card in the two previous issues of The Tribune in which it was stated that E. Rankin no longer had authority to sell lots in Central Park for the Central Park Land Corporation or in Cann Park for the Wilkerson Realty Co., or to collect money on either proposition, and the truth of which he had the audacity to deny in The Tribune, over his own signature, and in which matter C. A. McDowell saw fit to "dip" into gratuitously and without proper authority so to do, I would respectfully have the public know that I would not condescend to argue the matter or to dignify either party by a reply through these columns, but submit the facts for the information of my customers and the public generally, as follows: In my capacity as General Agent for each of the above companies, and under the authority vested in me as such, I employed E. Rankin as agent, and under with the same authority I dismissed him from his capacity as agent for good and sufficient cause. This was done without prejudice to or reflection on him. Then after his determination to hang on anyhow, I caused the president of the two companies to send him a letter of enlightenment a copy of which follows: "Savannah. Ga., April 19, 1913. "Mr. E. Rankin. "G. H. Bowen has full charge of Cann and Central Park lots, and you with several others have been his sub agents. As you have quit working for him I have decided that it will be better for you to discontinue any further efforts in selling, said property and therefore withdraw the list of lots that you have. Thanking the public for its very liberal patronage and with an apology for this untoward and uncalled for intrusion, I beg to say that I am still on the job with a fine list of property and a full corps of energetic and courteous salesmen, and we shall strive in the future as in the past to merit your liberal patronage and hearty cooperation.

Wesley Walker, Charlie Walker, Grandchildren. who departed this life April 23, 1912 No one knows how much I miss you— You wereso good, so kind and true, God alone, for he knows best, Calloo you to a home of rest. 'Twas a bitter grief, a shock severe, To part with you, whom I love so dear. Time was too short to say goodbye To the one I love so dear I miss your coming footsteps, I miss your loving voice; Home is not what it used to be Since you are not there, You are gone, but not forgotten. Never shall our memory fade. Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger 'Round the grave where you are laid. The Lord said you have finished Come up higher, Katie dear; You have a crown in heaven For the pains you suffered here, Those who saw you in your casket, Pure and white; and oh so fair Thought you were, the bride of heaven As you lay so silent there From your loving parents, Mr and Mrs. Geo. Price, Mrs. Mable Hodges, Mrs. Helen Singleton, In memory of my beloved husband, GEO. Q. SHEPARD, departed this life this first day of May one year ago, 1912. Husband, thou art gone to rest We will not weep for thee For thou art now where off on earth Thy spirit longed to be. Husband thou art gone to rest There is an earthly tomb But Jesus summoned thee away Thy Saviour called thee home Husband thou art gone to rest, Thy toils and cares are oe'r: And sorrow, pain and suffering now Shall ne'er distress thee more. Husband, thou art gone to rest And this shall be our prayer That when we reach our journey's end Thy glory we may share.

FOUR THINGS Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true To think without confusion clearly, To love his fellow men sincerely, To act from honest motives purely, To trust in God and heaven securely. —Henry van Dyke. Discoursing a' Vocalist Why a certain parrot never learned to talk Current Opinion tells in these words: Kerrigan went on a trip to South America and while there bought a pretty Spanish parrot as a present for his friend O'Brien. He shipped the bird to O'Brien at once, and when he got back home he said: "Dinny, did ye get the fine parrot I sint ye from Ito Janeiro?" "I did that. Kerrigan, and I want to tell ye that I never put me teeth into a tougher bird in me life!" A Bad Risk. Wigg--You can't place much faith in Bjones' promises, can you? Wigg--I should say not.

By means of flexions and contortions that have been practiced from a very early age the spinal cord has been converted into what is to all intents and purposes a rubber tube. He can throw his head low enough to put his neck between his legs and bend his back into a bow almost as complete as that of the fireside cat. A medical man has classified these dislocations and says that the digestion of such men is almost always perfect, provided they do not carry their exercises to excess. He thinks the circulation is stimulated to a degree where waste products of the body are more easily eliminated.—Harper's. His Mistake. Gallyer—What mistakes men do make! I was just reading that Columbus thought he had discovered the Indies. Aspley—There are worse mistakes than that. When I married first I thought I had discovered paradise! Just Between. A man caught a heavy cold during the changeable weather and concluded to take a spell in bed. His wife came into the room and said: "Jim, there's a visitor for you." "Oh, shucks!" Jim growled. "I'm too sick to see anybody." "But it's our pastor." "Thunder! I ain't sick enough to see him."—Newark Star. Clerical Humor. When the Rev. Dr. Snow rose to address his evening congregation his voice was slightly husky. "My friends," he said, "I have already preached one sermon and made two long speeches to societies in different parts of the city, and before I have finished this evening you will think I am like a wheel—the longer the spoke the bigger the tire." Only a few appeared to see the point, however, and the good doctor scorned to furnish a diagram.—Chicago Tribune. From Choice. A metropolitan matron once ventured to interrogate James Lane Allen as to the raison d'etre of his state of cellbacy. "Are you a bachelor from choice?" she queried. "You must ask the ladies." he suggested gently. "It was their choice, not mine."—Woman's Home Companion. A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS. Keep your head cool, your feet warm, your mind busy. Don't worry over trifles. Plan your work ahead, then stick to it, rain or shine. Don't waste sympathy on yourself. If you are a gem some one will find you. Don't whine.

The Dunbar Literary Club Entertains On Friday night April 18th, a body of young men gathered at the home of Mr. J. S. Deleware, 512 Hastridge street, the occasion being the celebration of the third anniversary of the Dunbar Literary and Social club. At 8 o'clock the members and guests gathered in the parlor and amused themselves until about 9:45 p. m. when the attention of the guests was turned to the following program rendered by members of the club: Song, "My faith looks up to Thee," by the club; Prayer Mr. J. F. Rodgers, State College; Instrumental solo, Mr. Edw. Armstrong; "In the Morning," from Dunbar, Mr. J. H Ebbs; "What the club stands for," Mr. Y. E. Dixon; "The Day we celebrate," Mr. J. S. Deleware; History of the club, Mr. M. D. Bryant; "The Party" from Dunbar, Mr. J. H Ebbs; Instrumental solo, Mr. Hardaway of Macon, Ga.; Remarks, Mr. W. D. Carnegie of Guyton, Ga. and Mr. I. B. Burton of State College. At the conclusion of the program the doors between the parlor and dining hall were thrown open presenting a beautiful scene that was surprising not only to the guests but some of the members as well. Down the center of the room was a long table decorated with ivy, white roses and pot plants. The decoration of the room conformed to the decoration of the table. Mr. Bryant acted as toast master. During the repast, which was a very elaborate and enjoyable one, Prof. S. A. Grant of the State College. Mr. Robt. Gibson, Prof. J-G. Lemon, also of the State College, were called on and made able addresses. The young men composing this club are among some of the best and most wide awake in the in the city. F. B. B. Church Dots The bright sunshine of Sunday morning was so inviting that nearly everybody tried to attend some church. It was quite apparent that Bryan had her share, because so great was the crowd at each service that benches and chairs had to be placed in the aisle, and yet there were some persons standing. The morning services were conducted by Rev. Charlie Wright. He read for the lesson Matt. 10:1-36. The subject of his very forcible sermon was "The Great Commission." It was appropriate and pointed. Baptism was very impressive. A very large crowd was baptised. The communion was very impressive and attended by an immense crowd. At night Rev. Wright read from the lesson Ps. 133. His text was from St. Luke 15:18. The subject was "The two sons." He portrayed very striking pictures of the lives of the son especially the prodigal son. The choir sang "He rescued me." The honored guest was The Union Social Club and its branch. A very commendable history of the club was read by Mr. Geo. Beckette, the financial secretary. They contributed very liberally to the church, pastor, choir, sexton and even remembered the poor saints. Attend our services at any time. You will be benefited. Rome's Gormandizing The decline of a nation commences when gormandizing begins.' Rome's collapse was well under way when slaves were thrown into the eel pits to increase the gamy flavor of the eels when they came upon the table. The dairyman who sets out to select cows for his dairy should have in mind these five points: First.—A cow with a large body and an especially large middle piece as this indicates a capacity for eating and digesting lots of food. Third.—A large udder, as it is here that the milk is made. Fourth.—Milk wells that are large. It is through the milk wells that the blood returns to the heart from the udder. If they are large it indicates that there is a large amount of blood passing through the udder. Fifth.—Large, clear eyes, which are an indication of good nerves. Good nerves are essential because they drive the organs of digestion and milk making. Add to the dairy of cows selected on this basis, the scales and the Babcock test and success is assured. FOOT ROT IN SHEEP. Winter the Best Season to Eradicate This Troublesome Disease. Foot rot in sheep is more common and more virulent on level land than among the hills, says W. N. Cowden in the National Stockman. Indeed, it often dies out on sandy hill land. As is well known the disease is caused by an insect, very minute, that commences in the cleft of the foot and burrows along between the ball of the foot and the bony hoof, produces an irritation and lameness, loss of flesh and if, in fly time, not treated the blow fly will end its miserable existence. The life history of this parasite is not known. Where it undergoes its other transformations, as do all other invertebrate animals, is not known. Frosty weather is the best time and the right time to eradicate the disease. Begin by paring off all hoof and diseased tissue, but avoid drawing blood. All depends on the thorough paring. Then apply any insecticide hereafter mentioned: Blue vitriol, turpentine, carbolic acid, peroxide of hydrogen, red precipitate and most of the sheep dips in their undiluted form. The most common application is blue vitriol finely pulverized and mixed with lard and applied with a little paddle. If the case is a very bad one I would add a little carbolic acid to the vitriol. If many affected sheep in the flock treat every sheep in the flock, always disinfecting the knife after paring an ```markdown ``` The Shropshire ewe shown is one of three that won the prize for the best three American bred ewes at the Chicago international of 1912 and for which the Sal-Vet cup was given. The ewes are owned by Henry L. Wardwell, Pinehurst farm, New York. His flock won every first prize, all seconds except two and four champion prizes at the New York Wardwell's exhibits won more money and prizes at the last two international shows than any other flock of Shropshires shown. affected hoof. Why treat the sheep showing no lameness? Because the disease may be in the sheep several days before it can be seen in the cleft of the foot. Occasionally a clubfooted sheep will be found that is so nearly incurable that it is economy to kill it. Sheep after treatment should be put on short pasture or on a clean floor. If the first treatment has been thorough in about two weeks every hoof should be again examined and treated as before if the disease is found. The presence of the disease is always accompanied with some fever in the foot. A trough of quicklime for them to walk through each day would probably obviate this last treatment. To disinfect a building clean out every particle of manure and cover floor with lime; also whitewash or use carbolic acid on the racks and walls. The claim that the coarse wools are exempt is not correct. They take the disease as readily as the fine wools and die much sconer, but on account of the shape of hoof are more easily cured. Fall Fresh Cows. Spring fresh cows yield most of their milk when low prices prevail for dairy products and the dairyman is busiest with the crops. In winter such cows yield only a small flow of milk at most. On the other hand, a fall fresh cow gives a large supply of milk during the winter and flushes again with the stimulus of pasture in springtime. Fall fresh cows should annually yield from 10 to 15 per cent more milk than those calving in the spring. ```markdown ``` TOP COAT IN SHEPHERD CHECK. Though a bit extreme in style, this shepherd check motorcoat is stunningly new and correct. The collar and cuffs are of green cloth, the buttonhole strappings matching in shade. The Very New Sleeves. The most promising point in the sleeve part of the dress story is variety. There is not one feature which dominates, and the deciding vote should be given after the style of the dress and of the wearer are considered. The regular armhole is just as highly favored as the dropped armhole, which appears about four inches below the regular line. There are still some 'klimono styles, and the length may be just what you wish. Do not forget the bishop sleeve. It is very decided in wash fabrics, yet there is not too much fullness, a smart effect being obtained by having a fitted lining of net. Many sleeves show a deep cuff reaching nearly to the elbow. This is frequently slashed on the lower edge and has the outer line broken by plaitings, buttons and loops and insets of frills. Puffs of net, malines and mechblin lace frills show from the lower edges of afternoon dress models. Sometimes a fine invisible wire holds the net out in a full line at the elbow. Groups of tucks that extend down the under part of long sleeves for about two inches on each side of the seam give a smooth fit on the under-sleeve and a decided fullness on the upper half. On many of the coat sleeves the outer seam is modified so that a lapped pointed tab is shown at the cuff. The fullness is drawn into this odd cuff. The Tail Feather Hat. Though the chanticleer styles-by that cognomen-have made their departure; many of the new hats of the season snow a lingering hankering A OF SMOKE GRAY MILAN. after the pert tall feather effect. This new shape is to be seen in the hat pictured of smoke gray milan straw trimmed with blue velvet and an orange colored flower.

FASHION HINT By JUDIC CHOLLET This dalty undergarment is easily three garments in one. The seams that extend all the way to the upper edge do away with all fullness. The front closing makes the garment easy to adjust, and the drawers are just wide enough for comfort. The finish of beading and lace is a pretty one, but the garment scalloped by hand and embroidered by dots or some simple little T COMBINATION UNDERGARMENT. design is somewhat daintier. Washable silk and cotton crape are favorite materials for undergarments.

Mr. Lorainne Petre has managed to say something almost new about Napoleon, no small feat in these days of intimate research. In his "Napoleon's Last Campaign In Germany, 1813," he tells us that Napoleon's overthrow was accompanied if not actually caused by the changed conditions of his adversaries. He found himself no longer fighting against dynasties with their disciplined and hired armies, but against whole peoples "encouraged by the examples of Spain and Russia to rise on masse against the tyranny of the oppressor." Mr. Petre reminds us of the story first told by Lord Acton of Napoleon's realization that his star was on the decline. Lord Acton says: "Having been repulsed at Laon by the Prussians, Napoleon tried his fortune against the Austrians and was defeated at Arels. It was here he understood that the end had come and that he rode forward and stood over a shell about to explode. An officer on the point of uttering a warning cry was stopped by another, who said, 'Don't you see that he is doing it on purpose and wants to have it over?' It is related that Grouchy said of Napoleon at Waterloo, "I a oublie Part de la guerre" (He has forgotten the art of war.)—Argonaut. Jack Horner à Reality. Few people know that the nursery legend of "Little Jack Horner" conceals a real tragedy. At the reformation the chief of an abbey in the west of England resolved to surrender and in token thereof to send the deeds of the religious house to Henry VIII. at Whitehall. For security's sake the abbot placed the documents in a pie dish and covered them with crust. The dish, without saying a word about the contents, he gave to a lout, Jack Horner, with instructions to carry it by road to the king in London. About halfway Jack Horner became ravenous and came to the conclusion that it was foolish of him to starve while he was the custodian of a pie. So he broke the crust and put in his thumb and pulled out—a roll of parchments! The disgusted Jack Horner chucked the lot into an adjacent brook. The nonarrival of the deeds caused Bluff King Hal to suspect the abbot of continuacy, so his majesty commanded that the poor cleric should be hanged.—New York Sun. Feats For an Emperor Lady Mary Montagu's Italian habit of waking at 7 a. m. to drink asses' milk and then going to sleep again was only a feeble rivalry of the program of the Emperor Charles V. At 5 a. m. he breakfasted on a fowl seeded in milk and dressed with sugar and spices. Then he slumbered again. His next meal was at noon, when he dined, partaking always of twenty dishes. Two suppers came later, one after vespers (what we might call a high tea and the other at midnight or 1 a. m., the most substantial meal of the four. After meat he disposed of vast quantities of pastry and sweetmeats, and the whole was washed down with copious drafts of beer and wine. It took forty years of such feeding to make not his appetite, but his taste, fall. He then began to find all food insipid.—London Tatler. Sheathing a Ship Sheathing a ship is covering the bottom with a sheath of copper. In all seas, but particularly in those of the tropics, the hulls of ships are liable to the attack of certain worms which penetrate the hardest wood and have been known in the course of a few months to damage the hull so as to render the vessel worthless. Copper sheathing protects the ship not only against the attacks of these borers, but also against decay, and is especially valuable in the case of iron ships, the metal rapidly oxidizing and becoming brittle when exposed to the action of the sea water.

GRAHAM 626 York St. West Courteous Attention to AIL THE GRAND MASTER HONORED On Monday night of last week all of the Masons of Atlanta, along with their families and friends, had an enthusiastic gathering. The occasion was the presenting to Most Worshipful Grand Master H.R. Butler a beautiful jewel covering every degree from the first through the thirty-third. The presentation speech was made in a happy vea, showing the practical and efficient work accomplished by by the Grand Master, and the great good he has done in raising the standard of the order in the state. The speakers commended him highly and held aloft the great progress of the order during the past several years. In his usual indomitable manner the Grand Master responded accepting the precious gift and especially the heartfelt sentiments extended. The brethren of Atlanta are to be commend for so honoring the Grand Master, who deserves every bit of it and even more. The only charge that can be brought against the Atlanta brethren is that of selfishness in this matter. If they had given an intimation, the entire state would have readily responded in making the token even more valuable. At any rate the brethren are to be commended for not waiting until after death to say good things about him and tell him that they appreciate all the good things he has done. This effort of the Atlanta brethren will do much in inspiring the Grand Master to redouble his effort for future work and cause him to feel that his brethren truly love him. WHAT A MASONIC APRON DID General Smith C. Atkins, of Illinois, relates that during the Atlanta campaign, when pushing the enemy, he saw a little white apron nailed to a cabin door, and riding up to the cabin he asked a woman he found there its significance. He was told that her husband was in the Forest's cavalry; that her husband was a Freemason and on leaving his home had said; "There are many Freemasons in the Federal Army, and if she would nail a white apron upon her door, and let the Federals know she was the wife of a Freemason she would be protected." It is not necessary to say that she was unmolested.—Ex. Masonry should never become common. Its perpetuity and its value rests upon the intelligence and moral personel of its membership and a daily exemplification in their lives of its cardinal virtues. Let us heed well the points of fellowship and not only put forth the hand to save a falling brother, but to rise to higher planes of life and usefulness. Let not the rivalries of trade or the jealousies of ambition mar the environment of the temple; and may we take to our hearts the great truth that there is no service so acceptable to the infinite God as the unselfish, sacrificing service of our fellowmen. It devolves upon every Mason to be a good citizen as well as a loyal and devoted brother. He should remember that there is upon him a peculiar obligation to prove himself in every respect a good citizen, for, after all, the way in which he can best do his duty by this Ancient and Honorable Order is by reflecting credit by the manner in which he performs his duty as a citizen of the Union, of the territory, of the locality and especially as a neighbor. A Mason's first duty is to his family, for above all things he should be a loyal and loving son, a devoted and faithful husband and a wise and generous father. The home is the place where the Mason is really needed. This is the place where he proves himself to be a worthy Mason and where he gains the admiration, love and respect not only of his brethren, but of all people. This is the place where he has an opportunity to do much towards building up and assisting in maintaining the enviable reputations so long enjoyed by this Noble Order.—Exchange. The efforts to "modernize" Masonry, are like those to improve on the Bible, foredoomed to failure. The universal peace movement has taken a strong hold on the masonic bodies of the United, States, and no better cause can engage their efforts. Masonry is and always has been a peace institution, and always flourishes most in time of peace. TEN GOOD THINGS There are ten good things for which no one has ever been sorry; For doing good to all. For speaking evil of no one. For hearing before judging. For thinking before speaking- For holding an angry tongue. For being kind to the distressed. For asking pardon for all wrongs. For being patient toward every body. For stopping the ear to the talbea er. For disbelieving the most of the evil reports.—Exchange, The Story Bunsen Told. Bunsen, the great German scientist, was extremely absentminded. He had had his evening clothes put out that he might attend a card party to which he had been invited, but forgot all about it until the next morning, when his man pointed out that the evening clothes had not been worn. And then he remarked to himself, "I know what I'll do." That evening he put on his dress clothes, went to the lady's house at the appointed time and walked in as if it were the day upon which he had been invited. The hostess, much too polite to tell him that he had mistaken the evening and that the party had taken place on the previous night, sent to her friends asking them to come in to play a rubber again. They did so. In the course of the evening the conversation turned on absentmindedness, and Bunsen began to tell what had happened to him a long time ago—how that he had forgotten an invitation and how he had made up his mind to go the next night—and thus he told the party the whole story, forgetting altogether that he was giving them an account of what was happening at the very moment. No Sense of Humor. One man met another man on the street, and the first man said to the second man: "Hello, Jim! You're just the man I wanted to see. I have a new one for you." "A new what?" asked the second man of the first man suspiciously. "A new conundrum." "There ain't any such thing. If it's good it ain't new, and if it's new it ain't" "Cut it! Now listen. What's the difference between a poet and a plumber?" "Aw, that's easy. A poet never has any money, and a"— "You're way off. Anybody knows that difference. Now, listen; here's the answer. A poet pipes a lay and a plumber lays a"— "My plumber don't. He"— "Aw, what's the use of telling a good joke to a man without a sense of humor?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Universal Word. One of the first words that a baby says is mamma or mother, and it is not strange, therefore, to find it one of the first and simplest words in every language. There is no word easier for a child to say than "ma" unless it be "pa." In Hebrew and Arabic mother is "em" and "am." It is "mam" in Welsh and "moder" in Anglo-Saxon. In other languages it is slightly different, but near enough like our own word "mother" to make it an almost universal word, so that a child crying the word in any language could be understood in almost any other language. Here are a few of the names: Madr in Persian. Matr in Sanskrit. Meter in Greek. Mater in Latin. Madre in Italian. Mere in French. Moder in Swedish. Moder in Danish. Moeder in Dutch. Mutter in German. Mater in Russian. Mathair in Celtic. Some Odd Wills One of the oddest documents of the will kind known was that of Queen Austriglida, consort of King Goutram of Burgundy. The dying princess enjoined upon her husband to slay and bury in the same grave with her the physicians who had attended her. Another will was that of a husband who forbade his wife's marrying on pain of his returning to haunt her. This is quite different from that of a woman who instructed her executors to seek out "some nice, good, pretty girl" Who would make an affectionate second wife to spouse. Early Beds. The beds of the ancients were piles of skins. The first beds resembling those used in modern times were made of rushes and later of straw. The use of feathers in making beds has been attributed to the Romans, and Elagabalus (Hellogabalus) is said to have used an air cushion for a pillow in 218. Air beds were frequently used during the sixteenth century. Feather beds were largely used during the reign of Henry VIII, of England. Corrected.

Little Bennie Sheridan waved his hand frantically and, going to the board, scrawled the correction, "The toast was ate in silence."—Everybody's How She Know. "I knew you were going to propose to me tonight. Jack." "How did you do it?" "Because mamma left the room so quickly after your arrival. She is one of the most discerning women you ever saw."—Fun.

MABEL'S CHITCHAT Money Making Schemes For Lenten Entertainments. PAPER BAZAAR A HAPPY IDEA. Rose Luncheon For a Bride Elect Has Many Pretty Features With an Amusing Guessing. Contest as a Finish. Smart Tub Morning Frecks Unusually Attractive This Season. Dear Elsa—Now is the time when all church societies, clubs and charitable organizations are on the quivive for money making schemes, and as I know that your town club comes under one of these heads I will tell you what a coterie of enterprising girls of my acquaintance are doing to help along this cause during these penitential days. These girls are of the younger set, and they are going to hold a "paper bazaar" at the home of one of the members. There will be only articles of paper for sale, which will include siaving balls, pantry shelf papers, napkins, flower pot holders, drawer sachets and paper dolls with dainty wardrobes. Then they will have all sizes of doilies, candle shades, almond and bonbon holders, lemonade straws (really made of paper) and all the Japanese novelties. The booths are to be decorated entirely with paper, and the attendants are to wear caps, aprons and collars of various colored crape tissues. Subscriptions will be taken for magazines and orders taken for place and score cards. Talking of score cards reminds me of a charming little luncheon party given by a friend of mine recently in honor of a bride elect whose name was Rose. The centerpiece was of bride roses, and each guest had a long stemmed bridesmaid's rose at her place, and the place cards were rose shaped, with "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" done in gold letters above the name and date. Afterward they had this contest, and the prizes were rambler roses in pots, which were set in rose colored wicker baskets. What rose is never seen on a rolling stone? (Moss rose.) What rose blooms in a girl's cheek? (Maiden's blush). What rose can you drink? (Tea rose). What is the wandering rose? (Rambler.) What is the aspiring rose? (Climber.) What rose is like a popular book? (Red.) What rose flashes in the sky? (Meteor.) Which rose is the principal feature of a wedding? (Bride's rose.) What rose is a vegetable? (Cabbage rose.) Which rose bears the name of a country? (La France.) Which two roses were famed in history? (Red rose and white rose.) Which rose should Americans honor? (American Beauty.) Which rose bears the name of a spice? (Cinnamon rose.) Which bears the name of a city in America and the name of a popular beauty? (Baltimore Belle.) Which rose is a perfume? (Musk rose.) Which is a beautiful linen? (Damask.) Which is a brave general? (Marechal Niel.) Which is the rose of the Democratic administration? (Nell rose.) It was lots of fun guessing the different names and a still greater pleasure to take home the lovely rambler rose souvenir. Another Lenten occupation that is very popular with me is bargain hunting these midseason days. Men laugh at woman's penchant for bargain sales, but where is the man who will not approve when his wife comes home from one of these orgles with a neat little tub dress bought for 98 cents or thereabouts? There is nothing most men dislike so much as seeing a woman look "sloppy" about the house in the morning, and there is no denying that even a pretty dressing sack looks anything but trim unless the wearer has nothing to do but sit still and be waited upon. And few women nowadays, even if they can, are willing to be nothing but dressed up puppets. Until tub dresses invaded the department stores the problem for the busy housewife as to what to wear in the morning was a difficult one, but a trip to any good shop today reveals piles of charming little dresses of gingham in pale blue or pink, with elbow sleeves and rolling collars, costing about $2. Just such dresses as these enable some women to keep the regard of their husbands. Now I am going to sidetrack and talk about the "barometer" girl. Do you happen to know her? I do, and she changes her moods almost as fast as the weather has been doing lately, and, quite as disastrously for every one around her. The worst of it all is that this girl so often stays "stormy" or "gloomy" for a long while. If you are her sister she is sure you do not understand her, and if she has a lover she is sure he does not care for her as he used to. Let me whisper a word of advice in your ear. Elsa, dear. Don't worry about her moods too much. Behave toward her as usual and refuse to notice that anything is amiss, and pity the girl heartily, for she really needs it whether she deserves it or not. How refreshing it is to turn from these uncertain people to the jolly, sweet tempered girl, who is always a good companion! No one minds if she does have a little grumble every now and then at things or is a trifle hasty. When the clouds roll away there is her nice, attractive face again, with all the good nature in place. You, Elsa, are one of these nice. jolly girls, and I'm sure you'll be the jollest kind of an 'old lady, too, is the opinion of yours devotedly, Medication and Prevention. The regular physicians are studying not only methods to cure disease, but even more emphatically are they engaged in the great problems of preventive medicine. Having appreciated the vast influence of lower forms of lice (bacteria, protozoa, insects, etc.) upon human life and health, they have endeavored to make this knowledge practical and have succeeded marvelously, as is shown in the history of the Panama canal, the sanitation of Cuba, the gradation of yellow fever from the south, the stamping out of human plague on the Pacific coast, and this is but a beginning. Parallel with this greatly increased work in preventive lines there has been a lessening of drug medication. That is not to say physicians have discarded drugs. They have not, and some are as wedded to drugs as ever. But among the more intelligent there is a gradually lessening dependence upon drugs and a gradually increasing dependence upon physical methods—diet and hygiene. — Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. Hamlet Under Difficulties. John Coleman, the celebrated actor, once played Hamlet under difficulties. The audience was small, and a seafaring man, who had a prominent seat in the fourth row of the pit, was not very much interested. After he had left ostentatiously three or four times, returning in a merrier frame of mind, Coleman stopped the play, walked to the footlights and said: "If my friend would stay in his seat and keep his eye on me I think I could interest him." "Hamlet" was then proceeded with, and the mariner drew from his pocket a telescope, which he extended to its full length and placed to his right eye fixing it on Coleman when he appeared in the play and following him as he paced the stage. As soon as Hamlet completed his speech the telescope was audibly shut up and then reopened as Hamlet began to speak. Coleman's Hamlet was not a success. —London Mall Pensive Delay. "I never give any out useful gifts," said Mr. Scrimp. "It must require a great deal of thought to follow out that plan." "It does. I often spend so much time thinking up something useful for a friend that the occasion gets by without my giving him anything at all."—Washington Star.
