1 VOLUME XXVIII Over 4000 Attend Children's Races GREATEST AFFAIR OF KIND EVER HELD IN GEORGIA Three Hundred Fifty Boys Competed—West Broad Street School Carried Off Honors—Ticket Contest Won by Miss Mabel Hemby—Music Very Inspiring The Negro school children's races which were "pulled off" at the baseball park on Friday afternoon, a week ago, by the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association were the most successful athletic events ever held in this city or state by Negroes. The crowd was enormous, there being about 4200 persons present. On the afternoon of the races the baseball park was the objective point of hundreds of persons who had never before even dreamed of journeying out so far to witness an athletic contest of any sort whatever. From about 12 o'clock in the afternoon until long after the hour set for the races to begin the street cars were crowded with persons, old and young, eager to get out to the park to cheer on their respective favorites Business houses on the west and east sides which generally do a large business between 2 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon were practically empty and many of them seeing the needlessness of keeping on their usual large force of clerks and porters allowed them to have few hours off to attend the races. And the little boys and girls, why they never had such a time in all their lives. They were in complete possession of the grand stand and when their favorites flashed across the tape winners the nearly went into histeries. The schools were all seperated in grand stand, each school having its own section, and the way they cheered would have done credit to the largest colleges in the land. Even the older folks in the grand stand who have always found so much to criticise when they were told of the utter abandonment of all formality at athletic events like this, seemed to throw aside their objections and were really seen to cheer more vociferously than even the younger folks. The races were all very successfully run. The most spectacular ofcourse being the two hurdle races and the running high jump. The sprinting contests were all hard fought. The highest individual point scored in the major events was Jesse Sherman. West Broad, with R Erwin of East Broad only one-third of a point behind. The city championship among the schools was won by the West Broad street school with 16 points, while the East Broad, second, had 12; Maple 5, Beach 2 and Catholic 3 and Swangin 6. The awarding of the prizes which took place Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Pekin Theatre was witnessed by a packed house, and as each winner was called to the stage the house cheered lustily. The prizes were presented by The Savannah Tribune Two New Contributors to Races During the week two new contributions were received by the soliciting committee of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association which fostered the school children's races. They were Mrs. M. Dullblack $1.00; Mr. S. S. McFall $5.00. Aside from the few short addresses made at the theatre the most enjoyable feature of the exercises was the excellent selections rendered by the Pekin Orchestra. The disqualifying of five winners, one from the Haven Home who was not on the original entrance list, and four from the Maple street school on account of being above the age limit occasioned much discussion, but the judges unanimously voted to enforce the runs strictly when the matter was presented before them. The ticket selling contest was won by the West Broad street school, East Broad second, Peach Institute third. The following are the efforts and winnings: Potato Race, 7 to 10 years-First, H. Young Swangin. Second, H.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1913 Two educational rallies will be held under the auspices of the Executive Board of the Berean Baptist Convention during the month. These rallies will be for the benefit of local educational work. The first rally will be held at St. John Baptist church Wednesday night May 21st at 8:30 o'clock. The second rally will be held at F. B. B. church on Wednesday night, May 28th, at 8:30 o'clock, thus gathering the forces of the east and west sides. Complete and interesting programs have been arranged for both rallies with well known speakers on each. It will be a treat to all loves of education, and the public is urged to attend. pression. Webster defines the term "Negro" us "an African black." There are millions of us who are not Africans neither are we black; there are millions of us who are black but not Africans. To merely refer to us as "colored" means nothing more than when you mention that a Caucausian is "white" Japanese, Indians and Chinese are "colored." Source of our race papers refer to us as "Afro-Americans," refusing to employ the term "Negro" because of the discrimination of the white press to capitalize the "N" in Negro. In the daily press you frequently read an article written something like this: "Every race was represented at the conference held at Carnegie Lyceum Tuesday evening. The Indian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and negro were much in evidence." What rank injustice to the Negro to use a lower case "n" in this instance. Some of the leading magazines and a few daily papers capitalize the "N" in Negro, and I feel certain that if the influential papers connected with the Associated Press would do likewise they would materially aid in a struggling people in their efforts to advance and become a credit to themselves and to the Nation. Why not refer to the term "Negro" as a race of people and not with regard to the color of one's skin. Then the term would embrace blacks, mulattoes and all of mixed parentage; for there are millions who are of various shades of brown; there are millions who are mulattoes and near mulattoes, and there are thousands who are as white as any Caucasian. To classify these people as black would be as improper as to classify the whites as blacks. Green is not red, nor can you make brown or yellow black. But in the grouping you can put the black, mulatto near mulatto and near white under one head—Negro. As the matter now stand, a mulatto is spoken of as a "negro." meaning a black person, which is incongruous. The question of a Negro's political rights or any other question regarding my race over which the Associated Press are apt to disagree should not be confused with the question I respectfully submit for your kindly consideration. In the Latin countries, black is black, white is white, yellow is yellow and brown is brown, which to me seems the proper manner of classification. Why should not the same method of classification as to colors obtain in this country. Along with the matter of capitalizing the "N" in Negro I respectfully beg of you to discontinue the use of the obnoxious term "negress," which is vulgar and a disparagement on the women of my race. Thanking you for your indulgence, I am, Respectfully yours, (Signed) Lester A. Walton, Managing Editor, New York Age. Wants Letter "N" Capitalized LESTER A. WALTON WRITES LETTER TOTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS Directors Are Favorable—Issue Instructions That Copy of Letter be Sent to 900 Papers Connected—Objects to Term "Negress." [New York Age, May 1, 1913.] At the annual session of the Associated Press, held last week in New York City, favorable consideration was given by the Board of Directors to a letter written by Lester A. Walton of The Age, asking that the papers connected with the Associated Press capitalize the "N" in Negro and discontinue the use of the obnoxious term "negress" This week Frederick Roy Martin of the Associated Press, sent to nine hundred papers a copy of Mr. Walton's letter, acting on instructions given by the Board of Directors. Mr. Walton's letter was introduced at the meeting of the Associated Press at the instance of Samuel Bowles, publisher of the Springfield Republican, one of the leading papers published, and which is very friendly toward the Negro. The following letter was received by Mr. Walton last Friday from Mr. Bowles: Mr. Letter A. Walton: Mr. Lester A. Walton, Managing Editor of The Age. My Dear Sir: "Referring to your favor of the 20th, I presented your letter, through the Secretary, to the Board of Directors of the Associated Press at their meeting in New York yesterday. I think you have already learned from the assistant secretary, Mr. Frederick Roy Martin, how well the letter was received and how favorably the comments were. Mr. Martin advises me that he has arranged for the printing of 900 copies of the letter, which are to be sent to all members of the association. Yours very truly, New York City, April 21, 1913. To the Associated Press. Gentlemen:—There has been a genealogical mixup relative to the Negro population of the United States, due to the confusing methods employed by the United States Census Bureau in its classification of the members of my race. The Census Bureau in taking the last census defined as Negroes those who were black. As the majority of my people are not black, in making out the census papers submitted by the enumerators thousands classed themselves either as mulattoes or of mixed parentage. Others who were not black classed themselves as Negroes. Now as the United States Government seems to be confused on the subject—What is a Negro?—the members of my race also find the question a complex one. I respectfully submit this important matter to the Associated Press because I feel that such a powerful medium can help clarify matters if it will thereby giving my race in this country a classification in the concrete rather than in the abstract—one which will be acceptable to all. This can be brought about by capitalizing the "N" in Negro instead of using the lower case "n" as is customary. Some argue that the term "Negro" is used only in the abstract as the terms "colored," "white" and "black." But to use the term "Negro," as an adjective, meaning black, is misleading in view of the fact that of the ten million Negroes in this country less than three millions are black. Black Americans are becoming scarcer each year, and within one hundred years it will be difficult to find a real black Negro in this country. It is not that the members of my race are ashamed of being black, far from it; for the color of one's skin does not determine character or intelligence. In many cases our darkest Negroes are the most representative. However, we do think that it is wrong to classify millions of people as black who are not thus creating a wrong im- FOR BENEFIT LOCAL EDUCATIONAL WORK St. John and First Bryan Baptist Churches will Hold Meetings—Interesting Programs arranged—Pnbbic Urged to Attend THE RACE FOR RICHES.

Johnson & Brown is a Negro baking and restaurant firm of Allenworth, California, with establishments in Allenworth and Delano. The Lexington Co-operative Association of Lexington, Kentucky, has purchased a site on which to establish a department grocery store. The stockholders of the H. G. Hill Grocery and Baking Company of Nashville, Tennessee, recently met and declared their usual two per cent, quarterly dividends on common stock. A Colored Men's Business Association is being formed in Sedalia, Missouri, to promote the "business interests, improvements and general material development of the Negroes of Sedalia." A new drug store, known as the People's Drug Store, was opened in Durham, North Carolina, on Saturday, April 19th. The store ranks among the best of its kind in Durham, regardless of race. The legislature of Missouri has appropriated $130,000 for the building and equipment of a home for incorrigible Negro girls. The home is to be located at Tipton, Missouri and $50,000 is appropriated for the first maintenance. Tayco & Company, a Negro undertaking firm of Nashville, Tennessee, is celebrating their 25th anniversary. During these 25 years the company, beginning in a very small way, has acquired Greenwood Park and Greenwood Cemetery. The colored people of Greensboro in 1900 was 4,080; it had increased to 5,710 in ten years. These 5,710 Negroes are listed as owning 688 town lots or one town lot to every eight black persons who walk the streets of Greensboro, N. C. The farmers' Improvement Society of Texas, located at Waco, is in the act of reopening an overall factory. Of the $2,000 needed to begin the plant, members of the society have already subscribed $1.920. The society has already in operation a school and a bank. An interesting study has been made of the Negro property owners of Greensboro and Guilford County, N. C. In 1900 the state auditor listed the Negro property value of the county at $203,607. In 1911 the property value of the same county was listed by the tax commissioner at $583,473, an increase of 53.6 per cent. in a little more than ten years. This tabulation omits the valuation on school, church and lodge property and as assessed valued is from 1/2 to 1/3 of real value, it is estimated that the Negroes of Guilford County are worth in fact about 1/2 millions of dollars. It Came From Boston Mrs. Hubb—I allow my husband no latchkey. He rings, and I ask who's there. Then be says, "It's I," and I open the door. Mrs. Kawler—But suppose a thief should ring and say the same thing—you'd be in a fix. Mrs.' Hubb—Ob, a thief wouldn't answer, "It's I." He'd say, "It's me."—Boston Transcript. ```markdown ``` NUMBER 34 Odd-Fellows Celebrate To-morrow Odd-Fellows Celebrate To-morrow WILL TAKE PLACE AT'NEW ST.

Todd, division superintendent of the road, Walter Wright, chief clerk to President Conniff, was chairman of the evening, Mr. Wright, one of Cleveland's most progressive and influential race men, has served as chief clerk and secretary to several presidents of the Nickel Plate for a number of years.—Cleveland Gazette. Discharged Because He Eat With a Colored Person. Texarkana. Ark., May 7.—Because he ate a meal with a negress servant in his home, D. A. Stephenson, principal of the High School on the Texas side of this city, was today summarily discharged. Formal charges were filed with the board of directors of the High School. Mr. Stephenson was told that if he did not appear before the board and plead in extenuation that there is no law or regulation against a white teacher eating a meal with a Negro, he could consider himself discharged. He did not appear before the board. His remark to other officials that Theodore Roosevelt had once dined with a Negro at the White House had the effect of causing the board to discharge him forthwith. Stephenson at noon today-left Texarkana for his home at Hickory, Mo. He came here last September and had recently been reelected principal of the school for another year. Church Notes F. A. B. Church Sunday last was a glorious day at the First African Baptist church. At the early morning prayer meeting the church was crowded with anxious members and friends to witness the baptism of a number of candidates, which was indeed impressive. The pastor, Rev. W. L. Jones, briefly, yet logically, spoke on "Baptism" before going down into the pool. Rev. Wm. L. Craft, secretary of the National B. Y. P. U. Board, preached at the 11 o'clock service Text, St. Matthews 17:5; subject, "Hear Jesus." His sermon was a rich gospel production and delivered with much force and convincing argument. The communion service in the afternoon bespoke a glorious feast Rev. D. Augustine Reid, pastor Second Baptist church and his board of deacons, along with a number of other visiting ministers and deacons were present and assisted the pastor and officers. On to-morrow afternoon Rev. W. L. Jones and his board of deacons will attended the communion service at the Second Baptist Rev. Reid, also the superintendent of his school, Mr J. C. Lindsay, spoke to the Sunday School. "The Ideal Christian" was the topic at the B. Y. P. U. meeting 7:30 p.m. last Sunday evening. To-morrow's topic will be "Love not the world" John 2:15-29. You are invited to be present to take an active part. The pastor preached an able sermon at the night service. Plans are about completed for the renovating of the old church, and very soon the old church will appear beautiful, interior and perhaps exterior. The members are asked to be in readiness to help raise a sufficient amount to compete the work as will be planned by the pastor and officers within a few weeks. Y. M. C. A. The Y. M. C. A. met last Sunday at the usual place. Tangible evidence of interest was manifested on the part of each one present, and the outlook for the future is bright. There may be different organizations in the city supposed to be indispensible, but when a Y. M. C. A. has been established on correct lines, and properly furnished with equipments, you will see that we could least afford to do without it. We wish to say that the Y. M. C. A. does not antagonize the church, it is an auxiliary to all the churches. Every intelligent minister with the right spirit in him will be a booster for the Y. M. C. A. "Who should marry —Who should not." is the topic to-morrow at 4:30, 2nd floor Williams Building West Broad street. F. B. B. Church The bright sunshine and balmy air of Sunday morning were quite an inducement for an exceedingly large crowd to accompany Rev. Wright to Nicholsonboro where he conducted the services at the Nicholsonboro Baptist church. The prayer service was conducted by Deacons F. B. Brown of that church and M. Merchison of First B. B. church. Rev. Wright, read for the lesson Ps. 84:1-2. His text was from Ps. 140:13. The subject was "The Happiness of Heaven." He preached an excellent sermon that suited all cases and was well enjoyed. The choir sang "Marching On." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Ohl God our help in ages past." He warned sinners of their dangers and invited them to the mercy seat. A large crowd bowed and prayer was offered by Mr. Byrd. The communion services were very impressive. Very palatable dinners were served at the homes of Mrs. C. Grayson and Mrs. A. Brown. We returned to the city much refreshed, having spent a profitable and pleasant day. At night to a packed congregation Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 138:1-8. His text was from I Tim. 3:16. It was quite evident that the sermon was much enjoyed. The choir very appropriately sang "God will take care of me." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing Grace." He tenderly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat. A large crowd bowed and prayer was offered in their behalf. Our services are always short and reviving. Come at any time. The B. Y. P. U. was pointedly addressed by Mr. Kraft, field secretary of the National work of the B. Y. P. U. Little Ruby Verdere sang a very sweet solo. Rosetta Mitchell, quite a little tot, sang "I want to live for Jesus." Much praise was given the little girls. Attend these services from 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. St. Philip Dots Communion services was well attended on last Sunday, Rev. John A. Capps was the Lord's messen- ger at the eleven o'clock service. His text was Mark 9:23; theme, "The power of belief." At four p. m. communion was celebrated. Rev. Singleton was assisted by Rev. Capps. The pulpit was occupied by Rev. Singleton at 8 p. m. Our Sunday school is making preparations for the annual picnic at Woodlawn park June 3rd. The carpet club of St. Philip gave an entertainment at Masonic Temple on last Thursday night for the benefit of the club of which Mrs R L Barnes, Miss O. L Haynes and Mrs. L. A. Newton are officers. The dramatic club of St. Philip is making great preparations for an entertainment in the near future. We are pained to announce the sudden death of one of St. Philips most highly respected members in the person of Mrs Irene Hardwick. She attended communion services on Sunday afternoon and died at 9 p. m. that night. She will certainly be very much missed be the congregation of St. Philip. She was buried from St. Philip at 4 p. m. on Tuesday, the funeral was attended by a concourse of friends. To-morrow is pledge day, we ask every member to please pay up as this money is needed to meet important obligations. Prof. Stone gave a moving picture entertainment "Passion Play" to a large crowd on Monday night last. Our members were glad to see Dr. J. H. King at church this week. He is an old member of St. Philip and an extrustee. To-morrow will be Odd Fellows' day at St. Philip. Every lodge and Household of Rath will assemble at 3 p. m. to have their annual celebration and sermon. The following services will be held on to-morrow: prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m.; Sunday school at 2 p. m.; Odd Fellows celebration at 3 p. m.; A. C. League at 7 p. m.; preaching at 8:15 p. m. Everybody is invited to these services Confirmation at St. Benedict's Church. On Sunday, May 11th, Right Rev. Bishop Keiley will administer the sacrament of Confirmation to a class of twenty-five candidates. The ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. The administration of Confirmation is a pretty ceremony in the Catholic church and it is expected that a large crowd will be present. The Bishop will preach a special sermon for the occasion and give solerun Benediction. In the morning the usual service will take place. There will be no service at 8 p.m. The meeting of St. Mary's Aid society will be postponed for a week. The May procession last Sunday night was very pretty; over a hundred children took part in it; they looked so happy in their white dresses; the singing of the children, whilst they walked through the church was beautiful and inspiring. Chapel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary On Sunday, May 11th, the Feast of Pentecost, or the glorious anniversary of the coming of the Holy Ghost on the Apostles, there will be Holy mass in the school chapel at 10 a.m. Father Dahlent will preach a short sermon on the solemnity of Pentecost.

Closing Exercises and Farewell Concert of St. Stephen's Kindergarten and Primary School On Friday evening, May 30th, the pupils of St. Stephen's school will render the Cantata "A day in the woods" at Beach Institute. The Rev. Richard Bright who established this school twenty one years ago, extends a cordial invitation to all the former pupils to be present as it will doubtless be his last opportunity of meeting them in that way. The price of admission will be 25 and 15 cents. Tom Thumb Wedding Members and friends of Asbury M. E. church are invited to attend "A Tom Thumb Wedding" given on Monday night, May 12th. Little Miss Ella Parkhurst to Master Wendal Hardwick.

Stories About Bill, the Office Boy You ought to read about "Bill," the office boy, in the 24-page illustrated Magazine published with the New York Sunday World. Paul West, the well-known author and writer of poetry, is telling the story of Bill in a way that will interest all readers of The World. This is a brand new original series of stories, full of humor and human interest. Bill begins on Sunday May 11. Be sure you order your Sunday World in advance.

Text of the Lesson, Gen. xli, 25-40. Memory Verses, 39, 40—Golden Text. I Pet. v, 5—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Phanah's third day birthday party of last lesson (xl. 20-23) suggests other third day incidents, and there are many, all pointing anointed eyes to the greatest of all third day events. His resurrection from the dead with all its benefits to believers to be fully enjoyed at our resurrection from the dead. Now we have a third year story of sudden and marvelous exaltation from a dungeon to a throne, from a place of darkness and suffering to the most prominent place in the power of Pharaoh to grant, for we read, "It came to pass at the end of two full years" (xli, 1). Two years of forgetfulness on the part of the butter, two years of continued humiliation for Joseph, and then "it was enough." God's time of deliverance for His faithful servant had come. Pharaoh's dreams, which all the wise men of Egypt could not interpret, fed the butter to remember his faults and to speak to Pharaoh of the prisoner, the young Hebrew who was servant to the captain of the guard and who could and did correctly interpret dreams (xiii, 9-13). Then Joseph made to run out of the dungeon, having slaved himself and changed his raiment probably with more hate than he had ever done in his life before (verse 14 margin). If the messenger told Joseph why he was wanted we may imagine that possibly Joseph had visions of deliverance near at hand. As he stood before Pharaoh the king said that he had dreamed a dream which no one could interpret, but he had heard that Joseph could understand and interpret dreams. In his reply Joseph acknowledged God: saying: "It is not in me. God shall give Pharaoh an answer, of peace" (verses 15, 16). Pharaoh then told Joseph his two dreams and added, "I told this unto the magicians, but there was none that could declare it unto me" (verse 21). We may easily imagine Joseph lifting up his heart to God as he listened) to the king's recital of his dreams. What a picture—a man who had been shut away from the world and all the wisdom of the world for years in the presence of a great king, but more consciously in the presence of the King of kings and in communion with Him and therefore knowing what all the wisdom of this world could not teach him! We see the same great lesson in the case of Daniel and his friends, for when all the wisdom of Babylon could neither tell the king his dream nor interpret the dream when he told it nor read even four words written by God Daniel by the Spirit of God could do all. The modern scholarship, so called, or the wisdom of this world is just as helpless today to understand the things of God, for they can only be known by the Spirit of God (I Cor. ii. 11). Joseph being a man in whom the Spirit of God was, he could by the Spirit interpret the dream to the king and saw as he told the king that God was showing Pharaoh what He was about to do. He also told Pharaho that lhasmuch as the dream was doubled it was because the thing was established by God and that He would shortly bring it to pass (verse 32). The king was so impressed by the supernatural power in this man that he at once promoted him to the highest place of power, saying, "Only in the throne will I be greater than thou" (verses 39, 40). Could anything be more thrilling than such words as those of verses 41 to 45 addressed by such a king to a man just out of prison? Read carefully and try and grasp the situation—yesterday in the dungeon, where he had been for years; today next to the king, ruler over all Egypt, clothed with royal apparel, riding in the second chariot, every knee bowing to him, and no one able to do anything without his permission! Consider his new pane signifying "The man to whom secrets are revealed," and see him married to a princess (verse 45, margin). Is it any wonder that he called his first son Manasseh saying, "God hath made me forget all my toil," and his second Ephraim, saying, "God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction?" (Verses 51, 52.) And he was an Israelite! Oh, how the suggestions crowd in concerning Him to whom Nathunel said, "Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, Thou art the King of Israel" (John 1, 49). Then how wonderful that Joseph was just thirty years old! (Verse 46. Compare Luke 11, 22.) He was seventeen when his brethren sold him (xxxvii, 2), so he had thirteen years of suffering. But he lived to be 110 (1, 26), so he had eighty years of exaltation, long enough to forget a lot of hard things. What will an eternity of glory mean compared with our brief time of trial here? Some of Miss Habershon's typical suggestions on this chapter are his being raised up from the prison, his being allied with the Spirit, his dependence upon God, his wisdom, his authority, every knee bowing to him; his glory, his fruitfulness (Eccl. iv, 14; John v, 19, 20; xv, 5; xli, 24; Acts ii, 24; x, 3S; Col. ii, 3; Phil. ii, 10; Isa. ix, 6; 7, lili, 11; Heb. ii, 6). Joseph alone had control of the corn. All had to go to him, and all countries came (John vi, 6S; ii, 5; Amos viii, 11; Isa. xlix, 6). Good form. There is a tendency nowadays to curtail the mourning period and to wear deep mourning only for funeral services. Persons who have considered the effect of strict mourning attire on the mind, on the natures of children especially, have departed from strict black and are using gray, black and white or lavender. But for the majority of women the accepted rules regarding dress are still observed. Correct mourning attire has been decided by custom, and, if you would follow the etiquette of this department of dress, here are some of the main points to be remembered: A widow's first mourning is entirely black, with the exception of a white crape ruche worn inside the closely fitted cap. Black crape is the only trimming. It is used to edge a net veil, which is worn after a mouth. Before that time a regular mourning veil is draped over the hat. Crape in narrow tops or pipings should be used with discretion. It is very reprehensible to overdo this. The extreme mourning, with very wide bands of crape used everywhere, is not good style. White organde or fine linen may be used for turned over collar and cuffs, plinned with dark black pins. Dull jet is the only permisible jewelry. All gold and precious stones must be laid aside when one is in deep mourning. Diamonds are not considered appropriate, even though they are white. The widow wears her full mourning for a year. After this the crape is omitted, but she still wears black crape de chine, lusterless silks, dull jet and black chiffon. When six months of this have passed the white and black, gray and lilac shades are worn. When two years have passed colors may be resumed. For a child a married woman should wear just the same mourning for a year as she does for a husband. The widow's riche is omitted. A mother does not wear mourning for very young babies. Indeed, the question of wearing black when there are little children in the family has been decided in favor of discarding mourning. When a mother-in-law has died mourning for one month is worn. This does not include crape. After the month gray and lilac may be worn. Mourning is not observed for other relatives of one's husband. Young women who observe full mourning for parents do not wear draped hats or long veils. Simplicity in their black-should be the rule. It is foolish to wear full mourning and to cling to jewelry and overnimentation. Crape ought not to be worn by young girls. Six months is the time for mourning in this case. After this white, white and black, gray and lavender should be worn. There is a tendency to wear white in the summer time, which insures comfort and is rapidly becoming the accepted style for young women. Unmarried women of middle age wear the same mourning for parents or any of the immediate family for the same time. A Good Listener. If you have tried and have failed in the great art of talking then be a good listener. Every one should cultivate the habit of listening well. It is one of the little amenities that we are inclined to overlook, yet it is one of the big factors in pleasant social intercourse. In order to be a good listener you must first be willing to fix your attention on the conversation. If you are in the habit of dividing your attention you are failing. Amy woman who is pretending to listen to a story and in reality is wondering whether the talker made her own dress or bought it in an exclusive shop is foolish in her attempt to appear polite. She in reality is very rude. Public Introductions. Introductions in public are made as a matter of convenience and since they are unsolicited need not be recognized at any future time. These are unnecessary in a hosty, casual passing between two friends and one who is known to only one of them. If, however, a lengthy conversation takes place or if there is a possibility of all persons going in the same direction or to the same place an introduction should be made. There is nothing so embarrassing to a friend as to be left out of things in an almost rude way by the lack of an introduction. At the Table. Before the dessert is served the crumbs should be removed from the table, using for the purpose a crumb tray and a silver scraper. A brush is no longer considered hygienic. When luncheon is served at a polished table a folded napkin may be used to sweep up the crumbs instead of the scraper. A good waltress always tries to anticipate the requirements of the diners. Who Calls First? The parents of the bridegroom should call first upon the family of the bride to be, and no announcement of any sort should be made until this has been done. A man's mother naturally wishes to know something of the girl he is going to marry, and after she has called the man himself may take the girl to see his own mother. PATE'S DRUG STORE GEO.

A man suspected of treason in Morocco was punished by having the flesh of his hand sliced, the wound filled with salt and the whole hand sewed up in leather. It is a common belief that this punishment causes mortification to set in and that the hand decomposes, but such is not the case, for by the time the leather wears off the hand is healed, the result being that the hand is rendered useless and remains closed forever. It is a punishment not often in use, but is sometimes inflicted in cases of murder or constant theft. It is a 'punishment that cannot be applied except by the sultan's orders. — Blackwood's Magazine. The First Railway Trains. The First Railway Trains. Some high speeds were attained by the early English railroad trains. The Illustrated London News of Aug. 10, 1841, records that four days previously "the journey from Slough to Paddington was accomplished in less time than the distance had ever been traversed. The eighteen miles and a quarter only occupied fifteen minutes and ten seconds." So early as 1841 it was announced that Brunel for a wager of £1,000 ($5,000) was about to run a train from Bristol to London within two hours. This feat does not appear to have been accomplished. Five years later, however, between Exeter and Starcross, Brunel made the journey at a speed of seventy miles an hour. He Knew His Business. "Why do you wish me to pay in advance?" asked the pallid person who had just registered at the rest cure. "Because," the proprietor replied, "I'm runnah' this place for your health, not mine"—Chicago Record-Herald. BAKER THE TAILOR Suits made to your measure $15.00 up.

Dressing tables modeled on the modest muslin velled box of our grand-mothers' time have recently become popular. The modern variations, however, are fashioned on a much more ambitious scale, albeit one that can never become common, as it lends itself to so many inventions, besides the display of that personal touch which is the acme of distinction in home decoration. A new toilet table is a plain table, but upon this is hung a "petticoat" of gossamer muslin and satin. The top is a sheet of plate glass (with smooth, rounded edges, beneath which are displayed choice bits of embroidery, old lace, flower painted parchment, quaint patterned chintz or even dried rose leaves scattered over a silvery ground and pressed flat by the glass, while flat ruchings of ribbon are used to cover the tackings. Every variety of muslin is being used, with linings of satin, chintz or sateen, while knots of broche ribbon, postes of silken leaves rosebuds and gold and silver fillet lace are among the beautiful decorations used. Perhaps the most fascinating shape is one fashioned like a crescent writing table with round ends. A "skirt" of rose pink satin is tucked round the edge of the table, and over this is draped a cloud of gossamer muslin, caught up with tiny posies of forgetmenots and moss rose binds. The top is covered with tightly stretched blue moire, over which is laid an exquisite piece of embroidered lawn—in fact, all that remains of the family clothing robe. The single sheet of plate glass protects it as carefully as if it were in a case, while besides being an interesting heirloom, it contrives to pay the double debt of use and ornament. A flat ruching of pole pink satin ribbon covers the trailing. On this table stands an oblong mirror in an old Florentine gilt frame, and an elegant touch is given by a quantity shaped dull gold basket, with a high handle formed of rosettes and forgetmenots, containing a batpin cushion stuffed with potpourri.

If You Have an Old Indigo Blue Bedspread In Woven Design Use It by All Means In Your Furnishings—Delightful Color Scheme In Shell Pink. The Charm of Fish Net. Here are some suggestions for making a young girl's bedroom charming and dainty during the summer months. If you have among the bedrooms in your house an old woven bedspread of wool in indigo blue and white you can make a wonderful cushion out of blue denim, with some embroidered Japanese swallows in flight on it. The stitches can be of the long and easily worked type, and you will be surprised to find how few of them will make a dainty, airy effect in embroidering these white and gray swallows skimming across an imaginary sky of denim. If your bedspread is of cretone, with a canary tone predominating, your cushion would be a perfectly charming one made of a pale gold shade of sateen with a small spray of purple wistaria embroidered across it or else big purple chintz. To this to the chair with violet ribbon. The bedspread and cushion really give the keynote to the room in color and are very important in the scheme of furnishings. Now suppose your favorite color to be shell pink. You can carry out the scheme in a bedspread of sateen with appliques of light medals over it at intervals, and you can have cushions of the same sateen with smaller face modifiers thouon. Piston net is very "artist" asset over plain color for spread and cushions, with big self bow of ribbon the spread and one on the tie couch cushion. A wise delft pattern is lovely in cretone, and this makes a pretty blue and white spread and cushions with delft blue bows. But the most fascinating color for a spread is light green. It is airy and springlike, and the embroidered form front for the cushion is just perfect in the way of suggesting the return of buds and flowers to the woods. HOLIDAY MAKERS. Timely Tips For Vacationists That May Come In Handy. After walking in the rain it) is a good idea to lay one's boots on their sides in order that air may get to the wettest parts. If boot trees have been left at home the boots should be stuffed with newspaper, which will keep them in shape. The unacustomed hardness of the water mars the pleasure of holiday makers in some parts of the country. When rainwater is not obtainable a little borax or ammonia will prove a good softener. A canvas covered traveling trunk may be waterproofed as follows: Make up a liquor of one pound of yellow soap dissolved in a quart of hot water. Add to this three quarts of boiled oil and a quart of turpentine. Mix well together and apply two coats. When thoroughly dry apply a third coat in which about twice its weight of dark brown oxide or lampblack ground in oil has been well stirred. This may now be coated over once or twice with very hard black japan slightly thinned with turpentine or (more cheaply) with a good paint thinned with best copal varnish and turpentine. Put a few paper napkins in your bag when traveling. When your hands got dirty or sticky use a clean paper napkin to wipe them. If the railway car window is steamed and you wish to look out wipe it with one of the paper napkins. You will in this way save many ordinary handkerchiefs. If the necessary black boot polish has been left behind a cut orange dipped in a shovelful of soot from the chinney is a makeshift which can usually be turned to account in the most out of the way places. The-carbon from a kettle is just as good for the purpose as chinney soot. The Boy's Dilemma. A dear little boy With a very sad face Sat hiding away By the big fireplace.

And straightway a patch She sewed o'er the rent; Then out to his play The little boy went. FOR YOUNG FOLKS FOR YOUNG FOLKS Campfire Girls' Movement Growing In Popularity. WORK, HEALTH AND LOVE. These Are the Watchwords of the Organization, and its Symbol Is Fire. Character Building One of the Underlying Principles—Origin of Week Day Names. Although less than a year old, the Campfire Girls have a membership of over 50,000. The important watchwords of the organization are "Work, Health and Love," and fire is its symbol, because fire has always been the center of the home. It is also a symbol of enthusiasm. Anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well. Similar in its aims to the boy scout movement, there is no connecting whatever between the two organizations. Each ```markdown ``` CAMPFIRE GIRL IN COSTUME is working in its own way to improve the youth of the nation mentally, morally and physically. There are three degrees of Campsite Girls—the wood gatherers, the firemakers and the terch bearers. When a girl first joins she becomes a wood gatherer, and gradually as she becomes proficient in the duties imposed upon her she advances to the next higher degree. She must be able to do many useful and helpful things—there are fourteen specifications—before she is admitted to the higher-degrees. Then there are honors to be won. Indian life has furnished the models upon which the activities of the Campfire Girls are patterned. In Campfire Girl garb, informed with heads and headwear, they look like real forest mailsens. The winning of honors is shown by wearing beads of various colors. Red stands for health craft, orange for home craft. Blue is the color for nature lore, wood brown for camp craft. Green and yellow are for handcraft and business respectively. There is much in the Campfire Girls' movement that will interest the coming mathers of the nation. Days of the Week: The days of the week get their names from very, very long ago, when the Norseman, had never heard of Christianity. In those days they worshiped the sun, and Sun's day was named for it. Moon's day (Monday) was the wife of the sun and, of course, had to be honoured also. Tyrar was the god of war, and so they had Tyr's day (Tuesday), while Wednesday is Woden's day, the god of the Norseman's heaven. Thor was the god of strength, so he has Thursday. Friday is Freya's day. Freya was the Woden's wife and Thor's mother. The last of the days. Saturday, gets its name from a Roman god. Saturn, who presided over the games on a holiday called the Saturnalia, so that it is quite appropriate that our Saturday should be a holiday too.

Small Hats With Brims Are the Fashion This Season. The feature of the season in millinery is the presence of the brim, which has appeared and disappeared like a jack rabbit in the brush. For years we have been wearing all kinds of turbans and caps that had only crowns and were made to fit on the head by reason of an inner crown that held them up. If you will notice hats closely now you will see that the shapes are really smaller than they have been for decades. This does not appear to the casual observer, who feels that hats ```markdown ``` have been small for years and that the change, if any, is slight. The truth is that up until now the brimless hats were really large in size and had to be gauded or supported by a separate cornet to keep them from falling down over the nose. It is claimed by the designers that the fashion for small hats which fit the head and do not merely rest on it is due to the constant use of the motorgear by a large number of women. In Europe, where taxis are so cheap, it is not a luxury for women to ride to and from their daily errands. In America, where taxis are dearer than any other place in the world for some unknown reason, the masses of women cannot afford to ride, but they take their cue in fashion from those who do. As soon as the comfort of the tiny hat was discovered women adopted it with enthusiasm. It has its defects for it is too often chosen in its most abbreviated shapes by the woman who can least afford to wear it. A tiny, junty hat is not intended for the woman with a large, serious face or one who does not fit her hair to fit the hat. There are elements of comedy in a small hat as there never could be in a large hat. So how are they the season advances one sees evidences of the larger hat bedecked with flowers. The shape pictured is in this class carried out in matheson colored kemp with a simple wreath of big oxyed daisies as the only trimming. If one omits the streamer of back velvet that hangs at the back of the capured brim. A tailor suggests whisking a black skirt with strong coffee and ammonia to remove dirt. The skirt is first brushed. Then a fresh whisk is dipped into a capful of strong coffee mixed with a teaspoonful of ammonia, and with this the skirt is brushed. The coffee should be brushed over the skirt quickly, and the brush should not hold too much of the liquid. Ammonia, alcohol and water in equal parts form a good solution for cleaning skirts. Ammonia, of course, must be carefully used, as it damages some colors. It can be sparingly tried on an inside seam or even on a little stretch of the wrong side of the hem. If it takes out the color alcohol and water can be used instead. Naphtha is objectionable because of its clinging odor and also because a skirt cleaned with it cannot be ironed safely for many hours. When a skirt of black or other dark colored material looks shiny from much wear it can be rubbed with a solution of borax and water. This solution removes the glaze completely and can be applied whenever the shine returns Borax, of course, might, like ammonia, have a disastrous effect on some colors, so it, too, should be tried first on the wrong side of the skirt. Newer than the grab bag, usually a feature of children's parties, is the huge teapot of heavy earthenware imitating old Canton porcelain. The pot, several sizes larger than the kitchen stove's hot water kettle, has a flat lidded mouth of generous size, into which several pair of juvenile hands can be simultaneously thrust, and its plump body holds a surprising number of small favors. Its wicker handle, high and rounding, is a substantial affair, guaranteed to sustain the weight of the receptacle, and there is a long, projecting spout, from which a stream of tiny candies might easily be poured into the laps of the guests.

Space Savers. Pasteboard boxes covered with wall paper are attractive and hold all sorts of small dress accessories. These boxes, bought in an empaired frame, are expensive, but a carpenter can cheaply put together a wood frame of the desired size which can be enameled with two or three coats of white enamel and then fitted with boxes covered with paper matching that of the room where they are to stay. Labels reading "Vellis," "Gloves," "Handkerchiefs," "Neckwear," "Stockings" or any other words desired should be pasted neatly on the face of the boxes. Cleaning Pictures. Pictures are things that collect dust in a terrible way, said a housewife in Home Notes, so I wash them all over with a damp leather—the backs as well as the fronts. Dirt doesn't show on the brown paper backs, and you may think that there is none there. But just run your cloth over and you'll change your mind pretty quick, for it will come away simply coated with black. Yeah. It's a Queer World.

An' they said there that we didn't not 's if they was worth dressin' up for. It is queer."—Woman's Home Companion. The Gift of Humor "A sense of humor is a fine possession. With some men, however, it goes to extremes—to ghastly extremes," said a speaker at a banquet. "I used to know in Horne Annesley a man with this excessive sense of humor. Horne said to me one morning with a grinish laugh: "I've got the greatest joke to tell you" "Well, what is it?" said I "You know," said Horace, "that I was examined I and passed for life in insurance last week: Well-ha, ha, ha! -I've been to consult a specialist this morning, and he tells me I've got an neururial disease. He gives me just one year. Ha, ha, ha!"—Exchange. The Unruly Moon. There was a certain play whereof a certain critic wrote: "At this point in act 3 the moon obscured a cloud." The copy editor took the critic to task for this. He said: "Look here. You mean a cloud obscured the moon, don't you?" "No, sir; I don't," the critic replied firmly. "These were amateur theatricals, and I mean just what I say. The moon slipped and came down over a white cloud, totally obscuring it." New Materials For Pillow Tons Moquette velours, new among pillow top fabrics, is a lovely weave of softest coloring in Persian rug designs and while a bit expensive, is reputed to wear indefinitely. Of equally attractive design and coloring are the squares of silk tapestry or silk damask that come in the various pillow sizes, and somewhat more practical looking are the tops of hand tooled leather in Indian red, Chinese blue and Japanese tea green. A new material of the launderable sort that is ideal for pillow tops and far from costly is an unfadable madras of lacy openwork weave. It comes in lovely shades of green, brown, blue, rose and gold, in two toned effects and in combinations of brown with green or rose and of pale blue with gold or violet. Linen Economy. For the woman who has no maid or who has a small apartment and does her own laundry work a great deal of labor may be saved by using paper napkins instead of linen ones when there are no guests present. The laundering of napkins takes quite a little time and care, and one might just as well have that time for a bit of rest or reading. Paper towels, too, have been made quite practical and especially where there are children will also be found a great labor saving device.

The weakest living creature by concentrating his powers on a single object can accomplish something; the strongest by dispersing his over many may fall to accomplish anything.—Carlyle.

Bowen. 4t Gen. Agt. accommodation of my Subscription Rates: The following editorial condemning lynching which was taken from the Savannah Morning News of last Thursday is very commendable and its influence will undoubtedly be far reaching: "Until the better sentiment in the rural districts of this state, and in other states for that matter, asserts itself, their fair fame will continue to be tarnished by lynchings. When a lynching occurs it is generally assumed that it is for the "usual crime," but it is stated in the dispatches that the Negro lynched at Appling was charged with nothing more than disorderly conduct. "It seems that the and two other Negroes were in the Appling jail on a charge of terrorizing Martinez, a community near Appling, by firing their pistols and by other lawless conduct. It is probable that the charge was well-founded, and, assuming that it was, if the accused persons had been convicted on it they would have received only, a minor sentence. They wouldn't have been sent to the gallows or to the penitentiary. What excuse, therefore, was there for the lynching? As far as we can see, as far as anybody can see there was not any. It was simply one of those outrages that keep immigration away from the state and tends to make the labor on which the farmers depend for planting and harvesting their crops discontented—in fact, which tend to run the labor out of the state. "We doubt if the representative people of Appling or its vicinity approve of the lynching or of any other form of lawlessness. If they do not they should make their influence felt in preventing lynchings and also other forms of lawlessness. They should insist on having the Appling lynching investigated and those concerned in it brought to justice. That is the only way to secure respect for the law. No community can prosper as it should as long as lawlessness is tolerated."—Morning News, The races! The races! This has been the slogan of the school children and the grown ups of our city for the past several weeks. Friday May 2nd was indeed the day of days, when the great and much talked of field day sports held under the auspices of the Negro Business and Professional Men's Association and for the benefit of charity, became a reality and when before an audience of over four thousand people, the Negro school children of Savannah exhibited their prowess as athletes. The sight of over four thousand of our people gathered within a common enclosure to witness an athletic exhibition and to lend a helping hand to the cause of charity was surely an inspiring and significant one—Mr. Business and Professional man were there. Mr. Laboring man was there with his wife and children. Grandfather and grandmother were their too with the little tots. All were there. To see anyone of importance on Friday, one had to go to the Athletic Park Yes, they were there and with their nerves keyed to the highest tension. And why? To witness the wonderful feats of brain and brawn as performed by our own boys from our city schools in competition with each other. The entire citizenry of Savannah cannot but be unstinted in its praise of the promoters of this great event which brought so many of the good people of our race together in behalf of a common cause—Charity. And what is charity which caused such concerted action on our part recently? Charity is love; it is benevolence; it is alms-giving to the poor and needy, to the suffering. It is indeed a fact that there are many among us who are less fortunate than we are. Through misfortune, improvident method or otherwise, they have become our wrads. Some of these are sick; some are hungry; some are without clothes; others are without shelter. They need our help. And our help we have given. The large number of us present at the Athletic meet give support to the conviction that we are becoming a unit in matters pertaining to the common good. And, too, it is a well known fact that in helping others we help ourselves. Our boys who participated in the athletic meet were given an opportunity to indulge in wholesome sports which were largely education in their make up. Thus they were benefitted. They can but grow more manly and gallant through participation in such healthy amusement. All in all, the athletic meet was a great success. The promoter ought to feel much encouraged over the hearty response of their fellow citizens to their call. The movement is a great one. It must grow year by year. Here's hoping that the next annual field day sport for the benefit of charity and under the auspices of the Negro Business and Professional men's Association will be even a greater success than the meet of 1913.

It is reported that the death record of the city for the first four months of the year was lower than at any other period. A light is being waged for a new federal judicial district in Georgia with Savannah as headquarters. A small blaze on Perry street, west, occurred on Monday. The damage amounted to about $30.00. A number of automobile accidents were reported during the week. Stepping from a street car, a white boy was struck by an automobile, Tuesday. beginning on Monday, there will be a police matron stationed at the barracks. Frank Johnson, charged with kong George Ball, on a dredge near the Hermitage March 30th, was acquitted in the Superior court on Wednesday. On Thursday the county distributed one hundred and twenty five barrels of potatoes among the orphanages and hospitals of the city. Miss Agnes Jones Secures New Trial During the month of February a young woman named Miss Agnes Jones was convicted in the Superior court and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary on the charge of larceny of money and jewels valued at $3,175. She has remained incarcerated in the Chatham county jail for the past seven months. The young woman in question is a total stranger in Savannah and not having any one to manifest an interest in her case, test all hope of receiving her fury. dom, although stoutly maintaining her innocence. However, through the untiring efforts of Rev. W. L. Williams, 507 Park avenue, west, who for some time past has been actively engaged in giving spiritual advice and looking after the welfare of the prisoners in the county jail, the case of this young woman came under his notice. Confident of the innocence of Miss Jones, he immediately took steps to free this unfortunate girl of the grave charge on which she was convicted. He started a relief fund and by his activity and perserverance, solicited from churches and individuals who contributed sufficient money to enable him to employ solicitor W. H. Bernstein through whose efforts she obtained a new trial, thus giving freedom to the young woman, under bond. Too much credit cannot be given Rev. Williams through whose instrumentality a new trial was made possible. Unselfishly and nobly did he come to this girl's rescue. He has brought joy to her breast and has at least endeavored to remove a stigma which would have always impaired her future. Miss Jones is a graduate of Central City College and a member of Rev. W. G. Johnson's church, Macon, Ga. It is a striking coincidence that Rev. Johnson baptized both Miss Jones and Rev. Williams, at whose hands she obtained the most of her help. Miss Jones and Rev. Williams wish to thank the public through The Tribune for their generous contributions and ready response. The following are the donations: St. Philip A. M. E: church $11.84; St. John Baptist church 5.02; Union Baptist church 5.50; 1st Bryan Baptist church 13.10; West Brord and St. Bolton Baptist church 2.20; Mt.

Want a thing harder than the world wants to keep you from it, and you'll wear through every opposition and get it. The man who works hard enough will find enough to repay him. Only the worker lasts. Carelessness and indifference and neglect are not timers for the builder.—Herbert Kaufman. Stopped the Funeral. The "funeral" at Zemfa, in Hungary, of a man mined Peter Hirti proved a sensation. The cortege was approaching the cemetery when the lid of the coffin was forced off, and Peter Hirti, alive and well, stepped out of the hearse onto the road. On seeing him the mourners were seized with panic. When the excitement subsided Peter Hirti related that he had made a bet that he could reign death and keep up the deception until the coffin in which he was placed was taken to the cemetery. The want of air compelled him to force the coffin lid before the cemetery was reached, and he therefore lost the bet. Vindicated. A teacher in one of the public schools thought she had reason to doubt the word of a certain boy in her class who said he had been to a dental clinic of the department of health to have one of his teeth treated. The tooth in question had been the cause of much complaint, on the part of the youngster. When the boy saw that there was decided doubt as to his statements he finally blurted out that he could tell the teacher just who fixed his tooth. "And who did?" she asked. "The board of health's wife," quickly answered the boy. He was referring to the nurse in the clinic. The teacher took his word after that—New York Tribune. The Poplins of Ireland. In poplin making Ireland is said to lead the world. None but the Irish seem able to produce the softness of tint and brilliance of coloring which are characteristic of the best poplinns. The fabric is so woven that the surface is all silk, while firmness is given the material by wool in the interior. The various processes of poplin making require great skill and watchfulness, which are, perhaps, some of the reasons for the peculiar custom in regard to its manufacture. The Dublin poplin makers will not allow any one to work as a weaver who has not served a seven year apprenticeship or who is not the eldest son of a poplin maker.—Kansas Agriculturalist. Older Than Germany's Oldest. A house at Winkel acquired for a public museum is said to be the oldest dwelling in Germany, having been built for the archbishop of Mayence in S50. According to some authorities, the Fighting Cocks inn, St. Albans, which claims to be the oldest inhabited house in England, beats even this record, having been built as a bouthouse to the monastery founded at St. Albans by King Offa about 705. It has, however, not served as an inn so long as some other buildings, such as the Saracen's Head, Newark; the Old Green Man, Erdington; the Seven Stars, Witghrove, Manchester, and the Bell, Finedon—London Chronicle. What He Really Needed: A young man very fond of the girls, but very cautious as to his dealings with them, recently went to a poetical friend and asked him if he would help get up a birthday sonnet to a certain young lady. "Well," said the poet friend, "what do you want me to say?" "Why, you ought to know about what's the proper thing," said the young man, "something rather tender, but at the same time, remember, I don't want to commit myself in any way." "Well," said the poet, "you don't want a poet to draw up your birthday verse. You want a lawyer."—Ladies' Home Journal. He Could Sympathize. The sentimental city girl was spending a season in the country. So full of sentiment and so imaginative was she that she could bear the trees whisper, the bushes sigh and the plants sing. One day in June she was sitting beneath a cherry tree with several children, one of whom was a ten-year-old boy. Overhead a gentle breeze softly purred through the quivering leaves. "Listen!" suddenly exclaimed the young lady. "Can't you hear this poor tree grooming, Johnny?" "No; I don't hear it groan," replied Johnny, assuming a listening attitude, "but I know how it feels to be full of green cherries."—New York American. BENEFICENCE Beneficence has this peculiarity that the more we exercise it the more pleasure we find in its exercise. We attach ourselves to the unfortunate object that we relieve, and the assistance we give him becomes a want to those by whom it is administered. He who has once caused the tears of gratitude to flow and who can afterward seek a pleasure sweeter than that is not worthy of feeling all the charm of doing good.—Mme. Roland. 1910 MRS. WILLIAM CUMMING STORY. Mrs. William Cumming Story of New York city was recently elected president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution on the third ballot after a turbulent and prolonged contest. The vote was 600 for Mrs. Story to 449 for Mrs. John Miller Morton, the administration candidate. The result, which was reached after three days' balloting in a triangular fight, was received with tremendous applause by the delegates and visitors. The election resulted in a partial victory for the old administration, as more than half of the general officers and all of the new vice presidents general are known as supporters of Mrs. Scott, the retiring president. The latter was elected honorary president general, an honor only held by five former presiding officers of the society. The new president has taken a prominent part in the affairs of the Daughters of the American Revolution for ten years. She was elected regent of the New York state chapter on April 22, 1908, after a factional struggle. In 1909 and again in 1911 she made an unsuccessful run for the president general. Mrs. Story formerly was president of the Federation of Women's Clubs. She will live at the national capital. NEW SASHES. Those For Little Girls Designed Like Those For Their Elders. Looped over sashes or girdles such as have been placed on women's gowns are appearing on childish models. A coral pink satin frock for a little girl's wear as bridesmaid has one of these sashes with a looped over end falling at one side of the front, the sash end being weighted with crystal fringe. There are crystal buttons down one side of the bodice, and the costume is finished with a deep collar and cuffs of shadow lace. Another new sash arrangement has two bows of short loops set at either side of the back. These bows are exactly alike, and the arrangement is called the twin sash. It is especially liked with frocks of sheer lawn and embroidery or voile and embroidery, for fine cotton voile is much used for little girls' dresses now In combination with handsome machine embroidered banding or narrow insertions of cluny lace or Irish crochet lace. Portrait Party: Get common wrapping paper, a light brown or white, and cut into squares a foot and a half each way. Put up a sheet across a door and have the light from a lamp arranged so that the shadow of a person's head will be reflected on the square of paper. A guest is to be placed sideways so that the outline of the face will show on the paper. With a heavy pencil or a crayon draw the outline or profile. One guest at a time is brought into the gallery, and the name is put on the back of the portrait. When all have been taken an assistant helps cut out the silhouettes, which are pasted on black paper and planned up like a portrait exhibition. The guests are provided with pencils and paper and write down who they think is who. A prize is provided for the one who guesses the most correctly, and, if the hostess wishes, a consolation prize may be awarded. Handy Desk. If one does not feel like buying a desk a small table covered with rep to match the wall paper will answer as a good substitute. Shelves should be placed under the table and a valance plaited around the edges to cover them. A very good piece of leather colored rep would be in good taste, and the blotter pad could be bound with real leather. It would not require a large outlay for sufficient material to make a very-dalty desk. INSURANCE GEOGRAPHY When is a man most confused? When he misses his train. When are the people most unsafe?

For the suit a great variety of materials is available. White talatea is the one illustrated, with ```markdown ``` simple scalloped edges, but linen and pique, madras and gingham are equally correct. This belt is made of the material, but patent leather is much liked, and a patent leather belt over a suit of colored linen of pique always gives a smart finish. In place of scalloping the edges, stitching could be used, or any simple banding. For a boy four years of age four and a half yards of material twenty-seven inches wide will be needed, with one yard of twenty-seven inch material as decoration if it is trimmed as shown in the back view. This May Manton pattern is cut in sizes for boys of two to six years of age. Send 10 cents to this office, giving number. $50, and it will be promptly forwarded to you by mail.

CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED It is worth remembering that the horses will eat up clean the clover stems left by the dairy cows. They don't hitch up—six dollar a year land rentals and the one year land skinning system of farm leasing. There may be good money in skunk farming, but the writer has no hankering to get rich in following this vocation. Sow a small patch of rape near the chicken yard. It will furnish green food for the fowls until Thanksgiving time and after. Silo experience points to the fact that it is worth while having one of these food preservers if one's dairy consists of six or more cows. While colts and horses get along first rate without vegetables such as apples or carrots, it is nevertheless true that they relish them greatly. The person who contemplates buying an automobile should be well enough fixed financially so that he, will not need to get his "gas" and lubricating oil on tick. --- Turning stock into the sweet clover pasture early not only gets them used to the legume when it is tender, but they become accustomed to its bitter taste when green food is scarce and they are not overfastidious. It is time to put up the house for the purple martins and the cigar box or can under the eaves for the wrens. In both instances the comradeship of these fine birds will more than pay for the trouble of giving them a place "where they may lay their young." Germs of tuberculosis are killed by exposure to direct sunlight for a period of ten minutes. This is the chief reason why the best medical authorities urge so strongly that tubercular patients be out in the sunshine as much as possible. It is the cheapest as well as the best tonic and medicine for this ailment. Experience with corn for silo purposes has shown that a maximum value of feed from the standpoint of both grain and stalk is secured if there is an average stand of four stalks to the hill. For grain purposes only, three stalks give the best results on soil that is fertile and put and kept in good physical condition. In some states a fine as high as $100 is provided as a penalty for the docking of horses' tails. A similar law should be passed in every state. While this practice is supposed to be followed particularly by those who want to keep up with the style, it is, nevertheless, a heathenish and barbarous custom and one that in all decency and humanity ought to be completely done away with. A friend who has a fine five acre patch of alfalfa is going to use it as a hog pasture this season, believing that it, coupled with the corn which he has, will furnish a cheap as well as a balanced ration. There could be no better combination. The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the matter of overpasturing this tract, a thing that there might be quite a temptation to do. The pretty well fixed notion that flax is hard on the soil is not borne out by modern agricultural science or experience. The bad reputation which flax seems to have acquired is not chargeable to any effect the flax itself had, but to a fungus (wilt) disease coming from the flax which affected following crops It has been found that when precautions are taken to prevent these plant diseases crops-following flax do well especially wheat and corn. The craving which many folks have for greens in the spring is a very natural and wholesome one and should be satisfied when possible, as the greens, including dandelions, mustard, beets, and the like, contain iron and other salts that form an excellent tonic. The writer doesn't know of any more appetizing form in which medicine may be taken than in the shape of greens cooked with a nice hock of ham or chunk of salt pork. Many a child is considered dull and stupid by both parents and teachers, when the truth is that the child is retarded by adenoid growths in the nasal cavity, which compel breathing through the mouth, is troubled with deafness and cannot hear what is said in school or has defective vision and cannot see well. In many instances alliments of these kinds may be corrected by proper treatment, and this parents ought to provide if they prize the future welfare of their children.

The Masonic lodges of Atlanta came together Monday night and each member brought his wife or best girl and, after listening to many fine addresses in honor of the faithful services of Grand Master Butler through Past Master Y. M. Waters, presented him with a handsome jewel covering all the degrees of Masonry from the first through the thirty third degree. Space will not permit us to give the names and speeches of all the brethren; suffice it to say, they were all good and presented flowers of thought to our Grand Master while he is living and can enjoy them. Really that should be done in all cases and with all men who are really doing anything for humanity. Most Worshipful Grand Master: In the great book is recorded this utterance, by their fruit ye shall know them. Judged by this standard, sir, you have met the test. For the fruit your life has brought forth bespeaks a tree which God Himself has planted among us; and far more eloquent than any words of mine in praise of your superb record as our leader are these deeds of service. By your loyalty to the institution, by your sacrifice for the lodges and by your unselfish devotion to the brethren, sir, you have won your way into the very hearts of the brethren. Ten years ago when the purple of the fraternity was placed upon your untried shoulders almost discouraging situation confronted you; the pressing need of the hour was a home for our widows and shelter for the orphans and you had not one dollar to begin with; our numbers were few and our lodges far between; overhead the cloud hung heavy without a rainbow of promise to light the gloom; but your brave heart never faltered. In that hour of seeming darkness you caught a vision of the dawn and cheered us. Thanks for your constructive leadership, we have a home for our widows and a school for our orphans in splendid operation. At that time we had no money or credit, you have given us both; at that time we had less than 4,000 Masons in the state, but to-day we have over 10,000. Ten years ago we were only counter marching, but you have brought us out of our confused condition, placed us on a firm foundation and have established our going. What the great Hebrew law giver did for the Isrealites you have done for us, you have turned our face in the right direction and we are now looking upon the rising and not the setting sun. Through the Endowment Association the night mare of debt has been lifted from many an humble home and to night, sir, we, the members of the craft, have assembled our several lodges for the definite and special purpose; we desire to manifest in some appropriate way our appreciation of the splendid manner in which you have handled the craft in Georgia. The committee representing the fifteen lodges, in recognition of your meritorious services, has commissioned me to present you with this jewel as a token of their admiration of their gratitude and of their love; not only does it symbolize the principles for which our order stands pure, radiant and eternal, but it represents the loyalty of countless hearts. We know, sir, that you will wear it worthily for every act of your life, every utterance of your lips, every pulse of your heart have proclaimed you to be what you really are, a Mason without fear and a christian gentleman without reproach." The Grand Master visited Vienna Friday April 25. There were seven lodges represented at the communication. Ionic lodge, Unidilla, Hermon, Byromville, Lime Stone, Lilly and Betheden. Among the brethren present were Brothers A. L. Felton, our G. S. W.; Dan, Harris, the energetic Master of Ionic lodge. He worked up the meeting and it was truly great. Bros. F. C. Mainer, G. W. Wiggins, T. J. Gilbert, Walter Holmes and others were present. The sisters of the Eastern Star, with the aid of the brethren had a splendid lunch and dinner afterwhich the brethren repaired to the hall, where the Grand Master gave them some advice and a great lecture. The brethren all went away feeling that it was good to be there. All are looking forward to the greatest grand communication we have ever had. The brethren are all turning their eyes toward the Grand East where peace and happiness ever prevail. Sure Hard Luck Cura: Some people call hard work hard luck, yet it is the surest cure for hard luck.—Deseret News. J © 1913, by American Press Association. Like most boys of his years, Master Bud Stillman is fond of exercising in the open air. Bud is the son of James Alexander Stillman, the New York financier, and consequently does not lack equipment for the games he prefers. Roller skating is a hobby of Bud's, and during the rather cool weather that has prevailed in New York this spring he has availed himself of the asphalt walks in Central park to practice various feats on wheels. The artist snapped him while he was coasting on one skate, not much of a feat, most boys and girls will say, but Bud is enjoying his outing and perhaps does not consider that he is doing anything wonderful. Exercise is good for young people, whether on skates or simply in shoe leather. The Blushing Tree. Among the many wonders of the vast Florida swamps there is nothing more surprising than the blushing tree. It actually blushes when the rain falls upon it. The mysterious and beautiful glow of color which it assumes in a rainstorm baffles description. When the cool rain drenches a tree a changing of color is noted. Gradually, yet unmistakably, the green hue gives way to pink. In a few minutes the green fades from sight. Only in a few half hidden spots beneath lower branches and on its trunk is there a tinge of green to be seen. The tree is as pink as the cheek of a healthy girl. After an hour or more, when the shower passes over, the wonderful tree assumes its familiar green once more. As it is changing back to emerald the spectator suddenly realizes the secret of the phenomenon. Certain tiny insects and not the tree itself change. These peculiar parasites are possessed of the power of chameleons. Guarding King George. Though the days have gone by when the monarch was protected during the hours of slumber by an attendant sleeping in a bed drawn across the door of his bedchamber, King George of England is by no means left unprotected during the night. Not only is the outside of the palace guarded by soldiers and detectives, but several night watchmen pace up and down the corridors through the hours of darkness. They are shod in thick felt slippers, so as not to wake the royal sleeper, and one of them is always near the king's room until his majesty is called by his valet in the morning. Every door and window in the place is frequently examined, and it would be impossible for any intruder to get in without his presence being discovered in a few minutes. Conundrums. In what place did the cock crow when all the world could hear him? In Noah's ark. What word is there in the English language from which you can subtract twelve and leave ten? Pretentiousness. Why is a young lady like a very bad batsman? Because she comes out at her first ball. Why is a jailer like a musician? Because he fingers the keys. When are a flower and a beefsteak alike? When rare. The Turk's devotion to the fez rests on a religious basis. If the namaz (form of prayer) is rightly performed the forehead must touch the ground. The brim of a hat or the peak of a cap would prevent this. AN INQUIRY ABOUT MONTANA. The writer is in receipt of a communication from a reader living at Berne, Ind., making inquiry about land located in the Shields river valley, Montana. Our correspondent was brought up on a farm and knows what farm work is and likes it, but for the past nine or ten years has been working in a tinshop and in this interval has accumulated a nest egg, which he wants to invest in the district in Montana referred to. He has in view a relinquished homestead, which can be bought for $7 per acre, and he wants to know whether this would not be better than trying to get land near his old home, which costs from $150 to $160 per acre. Not possessing first hand information in regard to the district about which our friend asks, we have made inquiry of the experiment station located at Bozeman, and in his reply the director, Professor Linfield, states that there is some excellent land in the Shields river valley as good as can be found in the state, but he adds that there is some, however, which is not as good, the soil being shallow and gravelly, and he makes the further commendable suggestion that before buying one should personally inspect the land he intends to buy. This is excellent advice for the land seeker, whatever his intended location, and it holds particularly of sections where the soil is inclined to be spotted. The rainfall of the section in question is about nineteen inches per year, as shown in the report of the station at Bozeman, which is not far away. Of course this land is in the dry farming belt, which means that the great thing that the farmer must strive for is to conserve moisture. While the continuous cropping system is followed by some, it is found that the land produces a half more and sometimes twice as much in a period of years by summer fallow every other year. According to circular No. 19, issued by the Montana Agricultural college, Thomas Alphin, a farmer located in the Shields river valley, produced in 1911, following a summer fallow, forty-seven bushels of rye and fifty-five bushels of wheat per acre. This gives an idea of what may be expected of the land, properly handled. In conclusion, we would suggest to our friend that he take a home seeder's trip into this new country, and if he finds this quarter section farm having good soil he could hardly go wrong buying it at $7 an acre. In addition to circular No. 19, referred to above, we would suggest to our correspondent that he write to the Northern Pacific Railroad company, St. Paul, Minn., for booklet No. 81, descriptive of the Shields river valley. CARE OF ORCHARDS. When the western orchard expert, who gives most intensive care to his trees in the matter of cultivation as well as in pruning, spraying and thinning, gets only a nominal price for his fancy fruit it is not difficult to see why thousands upon thousands of barrels of apples in central and eastern states, where orchards are used for calf pastures and given no other care and where the fruit is affected with scab, worms and San Jose, scale, do not pay to haul to town, much less ship to a distant market. If there is any one conclusion that the writer is coming to more than another as a result of several years' experience in the fruit raising business it is that fruit growing can be made to pay only when it is conducted as a primary rather than a secondary interest and where it is not reduced to the level of a side issue and makeshift or worse. Not even the expert who gives his orchard the best possible care will do well every year, but in the long run he is the only one who can expect to succeed. HAVE GOT TO QUIT IT. With rental of land advancing to $5 and $0 an acre it means that ultimately every farmer in the corn belt will have to make a more economical disposal of his corn crop than that exhibited in husking the grain and allowing the leaves and stalks to weather in the fall and winter sun and wind. Cutting the crop with blender and either putting it in rainproof shocks or shredding it and running it into a silo are the two ways out, and in many respects the latter method is better than the former. The silo can be filled rain or shine, and the question whether the silage keeps well or not is entirely independent of the weather Besides this, it furnishes a succulent ration during the winter months, which is greatly relished by both the dairy cow, feeding steer and young stuff. FIELD BEANS The field beans will give best results if they are not planted until early in June. Put in at this time they are not bothered so much by the bean weevil as they are if planted earlier. Besides this, a good many weed seeds that have germinated can be killed if the later planting plan is followed. The writer has found the common corn planter a convenient machine to use, going over the field with the machine set at three feet eight inches. Alternate rows may then be straddled the tracks already made being followed as one would the marker track. This puts the rows twenty-two inches apart, a convenient distance for a single horse cultivator. Frequent cultivation should be given during the growing season, but not when dew is on the vines. J. E. Trigg MABEL'S CHITCHAT Something About the Woman Who Apparently Doesn't Work. THE LAZY STAY AT HOMES. Society's Latest Diversion These Spring Days In New York' Is the Restaurant Dancing Tea—Men and Women Trip the Light Fantastic at 5 o'Clock. Dear Elsa—I'm going to preach, so you poor, suffering sister, if you're not in the mood for sermonizing, burn this letter or sidetrack it until its power of suggestion will appeal. My text is: "The Woman Who Doesn't Work." She's rare these days, but she's about. It seems, if one listens to general conversation, that all women work, some for a livelihood and others just for work's sake—work as a means of developing their personalities and to enlarge the interests of the workers. That's the slogan. You know, dear, that it's the "thing" to have an important occupation of your own or at least one which you can talk about with importance. Now, work is a good thing for everybody, but I think there are a few of us who have rather narrow ideas about it. We think our own particular job is the only really important thing in the world and that people who occupy themselves with other 'matters are more or less certain to be idling. To come down to cases, I know a family of four sisters—one is employed in an office, one is a teacher, one an art student, and the fourth stays at home Her name is Margaret, and she occupies the position of "Jack in the middle" in the family. All the sisters are nice girls and very fond of each other, but the three workers with one accord combine to patronize and pity Margaret, not in an unfriendly way, but quite as a matter of course. "You see, she does nothing," they say. "It's a pity she has no talents, for the days at home are so dull and long. At least she doesn't have to toll for her bread and butter as the rest of us do." To be perfectly honest in the matter, I had always thought Margaret rather lazy and often wondered how she could sit idle while her sisters worked. But after spending a day with the family I changed my mind. Work? That girl worked from sunrise to sunset. She did more in a day than any of her sisters did in a week, and the work was purely unselfish, as she received neither credit nor payment for it. The teaching sister wanted a lot of circulars sent off to pupil, and of course Margaret could address the envelopes—it would give her a nice little occupation. The office girl never had time to attend to her clothes, and it was quite an understood thing that Margaret should darn her stockings, trim her hats and keep her clothes in order. The art student wanted a model, and Margaret must pose, and so on, and so on. At the end of the week the three sisters had something to show for what they had done—salary envelopes, something solid and comforting. But what did Margaret get? I think she's being cheated, week after week, of the thanks and affection she has earned by sheer hard work. The least these sisters could do would be to speak well of her, to acknowledge her usefulness and to place her on an equality with their important, busy selves. If you have a Margaret in your house do not cheat her of the only wage which she wants—your love and thanks. Do not fall into the habit of supposing that stay at home sisters and mothers never need any rest or change. They want it just as much as you do, for they toil at a very hard profession, that of doing the odds and ends which are too dull or two trivial for others to undertake. Do not snub and patronize the stay at homes more than you can help, for it is quite possible that every day of their lives they accomplish a work which has a value far above that of your own labors. Here endeth the sermon. From grave to gay is but a step, and, speaking of steps, the very latest fad here in New York this spring is the restaurant dancing ten. You drop in between 5 and 0 in the afternoon ostensibly to drink-tea, but what you really do is to sip a very little bit and trip a la one step—polite name for turkey trot, tango, etc—a great deal to the music of a tinpanny piano, a banjo and a guitar, I said music, but I didn't mean to use the term, for music is not fashionable this season. Just noise is the thing—rattle time bang-bang. The people who go to these teas? Well, there are all kinds—nice, half nice and the not nice at all varieties. The tea tables are arranged round the wall, and a big space is left in the center of the room for the dancers, and you have no idea how many couples can do a one step in a small space. It really requires only the dimensions of a new five cent piece to trip up on one's tiptoes to one's partner, then trip back again, while introducing en route all the odd, outrageous gyrations one is capable of inventing. Now, dear, I must hurry away from the desk and get ready to meet Dick at the smartest hotel with a dancing tea room in town. Lots of the Wall street baldheads are dropping in at the tea hour to trip the light fantastic for the good of their too, too solid flesh. Devotedly yours.
