VOLUME XXVIII Three Institutions Receive Donations Three Institutions Receive Donations BENEFICIARIES OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN'S RACES Charity Hospital, Carnegie Library and the Old Folks and Orphan Home Get Liberal Donations—Half of Net Proceeds Reserved for Next Year's Races—Cost of Races Over Three Hundred Dollars At a meeting of Negro Business and Professional Men's Association which was held in the annex of the First Congregational church on last Thursday night the final report on the school children's races which were run at the baseball park on the second of this month, was received. The report as given by the secretary-treasurer, Prof. S. A. Grant, was very gratifying to the members of the association and showed a balance on hand of $357.20, after all disbursements had been made. Of this balance on hand the association thought it best to reserve a sufficient amount to put the races on next year and, therefore, voted to lay aside one half the net proceeds which is $178.60 This is over twice the amount reserved last year, but it was shown that the cost of holding the races each year is increasing on account of the added attractions which are given, and as a consequence, it is necessary for the association to lay aside a liberal amount each year to insure the success of the affair. Some idea of the great expense of the races this year may be gained when it is seen that it took exactly $297.75 to "pull them off." The greatest increase in any one item this year over that of last year was the park hire. Instead of five dollars which was paid last year, the cost of park hire this year was $13.44, ten per cent of gross taken in at the gate. Of the sum which was voted to charity, Charity Hospital received $125.00, Carneige Library $25.00 and the Odd Folks and Orphan's Home $28.60. Among the other matters taken up by the association was that of organizing a base ball team. The organization accepted a challenge for a game from the mail carriers, the date of the contest be to decided upon later. It was also decided that the prizes of a few of the winners in the races of May 2nd, who have not yet call for them, will remain at The Tribune office until the middle of July, when they will be, if not called for, returned to the treasury of the association.

SCENE IN A GEORGIA COURTHOUSE WHICH SHOWED THE JUDGE, IF NOT THE LAW, WAS RESPECTED. [From The New-England Magazine.] Georgia has a stringent law forbidding its citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying a line of $50 or being imprisoned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in a little town, when suddenly he suspended the trial of a case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the courthouse. "Gentlemen," said the judge, when the doors were closed, "I have just seen a pistol on a man in this room, and I cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such a violation of the law pass unnoticed. I ought, perhaps, to go before the grand jury and indict him, but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and a fine of $1 down here, I will let him off this time." The judge paused, and a lawyer sitting just behind him got up, slipped his hand into a hip pocket, drew out a neat, ivory handled six shooter and laid it with $1 down upon the stand. "This is all right," said the judge, "but you are not the man I saw with the pistol." Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down a colt's revolver and a dollar bill before the judge, who repeated his former observation. The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand, together with $19 by their side. The judge laughed as he complimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but added that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not yet come up, and, glancing at the far side of the court, he continued: "I'll give him one minute to accept my proposition, and if he fails, I will hand him over to the sheriff." Immediately two men from the back of the court arose and began to move toward the judge's stand. Once they stopped to look at each other, and then, coming slowly forward, laid down their pistols and their dollars. As they turned their backs the judge said: "This man with the blaak whiskers is the one that I originally saw." Miss L. T. Tyson who was stopping with Mrs. E. L. Jordan, at 525 Gaston street, east, left the city Sunday morning for Cordele, Ga. Miss Tyson spoke very glowingly of her stay here and that she will return to the city during the summer. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA,SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1913 Fisk University Prepares For Closing DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TO DELIVER ADDRESS Students and Alumni Give Mammoth Concert-Proceeds From Concert to go to Endowment Fund-Trying to Raise $300,000. --- Nashville, Tenn., May 12, 1913. Preparations are under way at Fisk University for commencement, which takes place Wednesday day, June 11th. Five members will represent the graduating class on the program. The commencement address will be delivered by Dr. Booker T. Washington, a member of the Board of Trustees of Fisk University. The junior class is preparing to present "The Lion and the Mouse" during commencement week. There will be the usual class day exercises, receptions and other exercises. A feature of special importance will be announcements with reference to the endowment fund which the University has been struggling for the past two years to raise. The Trustees are making every effort to complete the fund of $300,000 by June 1st, having nearly $100,-000 still to raise. The University is looking with hope to its friends for the completion of this fund by that time. On Tuesday night, May 13th, the students and local alumni, under the leadership of Professor John W. Work, gave a mammoth jubilee concert at Ryman Auditorium, the largest assembly hall in the city of Nashville. The University made every effort to make this the greatest concert in its history. Plantation melodies by a chorus of over 300 voices was the main feature of the program. This chorus was assisted by the University Glee Club and noted soloists. A great deal of interest was manifested throughout the city and adjoining towns in the event as marking an epoch in the musical history of the community. Fisk University is endeavoring to keep up to its musical reputation. The proceeds from this concert will go to help complete the endowment fund. East Side Pharmacy Opened During the week there was opened at 225 Randolph street a Negro drug store. This new business enterprise is owned and conducted by Dr. W. T. Pritchett, formerly of Augusta, Ga., and is known as the East Side Pharmacy. This makes the second Negro drug store in the city, and its opening is welcomed by the Negroes throughout the city.

The Order will be out in its full strength and the exercises give promise of being attended by a large crowd of friends of the Order. The Rev. Wm. Dunn, pastor of the church, will deliver the annual sermon and Mr. Wm. J. Vanhooser will act as master of ceremonies. The Order of Samaritans is very strong in this city and is apparently making much progress. The chairman of the meeting will be Mr. W. H. Burgess, and the marshals of the day will be Mr. Robert Edmonson and Mr. P. W. Willison. The following are the speakers of the afternoon: Bro. Wm. J. Vanhoozer, Master of Ceremonies; Bro. T.

Track Team Entertained On last Monday immediately after school the championship track team of the West Broad street school was tendered a reception,by the teachers of that school. The occasion was a very enjoyable one, and many words of praise were showered upon the boys for having won the 1913 championship among the city schools. The hero of the afternoon, of course was Jesse Sherman, the youngster who won the individual championship of the city. Aside from the teachers and members of the team, all the girls of the 8th grade were present, and one or two other prominent ones in the ticket contest, which this school won. The friends of Mrs. Augustine Coleman are glad to know that she has improved after an illness of two weeks. The Tuskegee Literary Scouts. Tuskegee, Ala. The closing meeting for this school year of the Literary Scout organization was held in Dorothy Hall on Wednesday evening, May 14, at eight o'clock. Dr. A. B. McKenzie, who after graduating from Tuskegee, studied medicine at Shaw University, now serving as interne at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, presented the paper of the evening, "The Relation of the Physician to the Public." Dr. McKenzie's paper was without doubt one of the richest papers that has yet been presented before the organization, and this was evidenced by the hearty and interesting discussion which followed. A choice piano selection was rendered by Mrs. Norma Washington Davis, and pleasing vocal numbers were sung by Miss Lillie V. Bell, Mr. John L. Anderson, and Mr. Thomas H. Campbell. Captain Grover Harden, chairman, together with Mrs. E. J. Jones, Misses Susie Davis, Isabella Wheelis, Emily Moore, and Messrs. Lovette, McCaster, Jordan, Clayton and Steward entertained. In the absence of the president, Mr. Alvin J. Neely, who is traveling with the quartette now in the North, Mr. Robert L. Waggener, the vice-president, presided. The Local Alumni Association held a short and enthusiastic business meeting Wednesday night, May 6. in Dorothy Hall. A large number of the members were in attendance. President Stewart presided. A considerable amount of business, such as collecting dues and making pre-arrangements for the general alumni meeting May 30th, was transacted. The Association was also favored with an interesting talk made by Mr. Powell, a graduate of Tuskegee, who up to a few weeks ago, has been engaged in an important work on Hilton Head Island, S.C. Mr. Powell, in a few remarks, told of his work there and the many difficulties experienced by him in trying to make it effective. Music was rendered and refreshments were served in abundance at the close of the meeting. Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Cohen Move Into New Home. On Thursday Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Cohen, formerly of 312 Duffy street, east, moved into their new home at 537 Park avenue, east. The new home of Mr. and Mrs. Cohen is considered by many the most beautiful residence in the city owned by Negroes. It is a two-story, press-brick structure and contains eight rooms. It is lighted by both gas and electricity and is fitted up with all the latest improvements. It has a large basement about six feet high. Vast Crowd Of Odd Fellows Out OVER EIGHTEEN HUNDRED ATTENDED THANKSGIVING SERVICES Exercises Among Best in History of Order—Parade Extended [Over Six Blocks—Program Excellently Rendered—Music Very Inspiring—Liberal Donation to Church—Invalids of Order Remembered. The Odd Fellows thanksgiving services at St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets, on last Sunday afternoon were attended by a vast concourse of people. The order was out in full strength and more than filled the space in the church which was reserved for it. The lodges assembled at 2 o'clock at the Harris street hall and, under the chief marshal, Capt. Julius Maxwell, marched to the church where the exercises were held. The procession, which was about six blocks in length, started at East Broad and Liberty streets, and in solemn order proceeded west to West Broad, thence to the church, where the lodges were joined by the Households. In the line of march the Patriarchie took the lead. They were followed by the Past Grand Masters' Council, and then the subordinate lodges. At the church the Patriarchie and the Past Grand Masters' Council again occupied the places of honor, with the subordinate lodges being seated behind them and in the gallery. The Households of Ruth occupied all the seats in the south row and also a portion of the gallery. The meeting opened in charge of Mr. Edward H. Burke, who after a few remarks, turned the gathering over to Mr. J. C. Lindsay, the master of ceremonies. One of the most inspiring features of the exercises was the singing of the opening ode by the members of the order. Seldom has there been heard in this city any singing which so aroused one as this number rendered by the order. All in all, the celebration was considered by many of the older members of the order the most commendable in the history of Odd Fellowism in this city. The Households were very creditably represented by Mrs. M. E. Harper. Her paper was very thoughtfully written and well read. Miss Romisita Murcherson who spoke in behalf of the Juveniles also presented her subject in telling effect. The two duets by Mrs. A. E. Orner and Miss Etta McIntosh, and Mrs. Julia C. Woodruff and Mrs. L. V. Drayton were pleasingly rendered. The anniversary sermon was delivered by the pastor of the church, the Rev. R. H. Singleton, His discourse was short, and, as is always the case when he speaks, greatly enjoyed. He spoke on Odd Fellowism. 28 sex 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 The order made a very liberal donation to the church and also remembered the invalids among their number.

Masonry is a "progressive science" in matters of administration and government, but its principles have never changed.Standard. Masonry honors God in abiding and living faith; the fruits are brotherly love, relief for the poor and sick, burying the dead and the protection of the widow and orphan. Globe. There is no railroading of candidates in New Zealand. An application for degrees must lie over two months before it can be balloted on, and the brethren must be twice individually officially notified of such petition, and he cannot be initiated until one month after he has been elected. Brethren, let us each one straighten our cabletow, that we may bring all possible good to those near and far off, as well let us shorten the end until we take no good to ourselves unless it leaves our fellow traveler over this rough and uneven pathway of life unharmed. Let brotherly love prevail with us all. THE EYES OF THE WORLD ON US. The eyes of the profane are upon us all as Masons, and are particularly focused upon those who are in authority. It becometh us therefore, to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called, for "By their fruits ye shall know them." It is not all of Masonry to wear a Masonic pin, nor to know certain letters better than the Ten Commandments. Our profession is to be exemplified by our works and not by our speaking. The world needs Masonry now more than ever before. Never perhaps, in history were such rapid advances made in all that pertains to the welfare of the human race; education is becoming universal, ignorance is the exception; labor receives honorable recognition, while idleness is condemned; moral worth and rectitude of character are at a premium, and vice and its kin are relegated to obscurity. Masonry has done much to bring these conditions about, for while it remembers the traditions of the fathers, it plans as well for the children, and our progress must continue to be in keeping with modern civilization. -E. A. Tennis. THE NEAR-MASON. The Near-Mason is such a plausible imitation of the real article that you will scarcely detect the counterfeit on short acquaintance. He makes a fine showing on dress parade and wears well in fine weather. None so affable as he on gala nights, none so quick to congratulate you when you have a rise in salary or have been appointed to Grand Lodge office. He is strong on the Ritual. He can dot his it's and cross his t's with the best of them. And he can point out the weakness of the lodge officers with a discernment that is truly wonderful. You marvel at the fore-sight, and insight and hindsight. He is so constantly in evidence that you wonder why he is never heard from when "sickness and distress" is the order of the business. You go to a funeral and you miss him. You visit a sick brother, and he does not tell you "bro Near-Mason has been here." The son of a deceased brother is seeking employment, and you take him with you to call on Bro. Near-Mason only to find that the brother is very busy during business nours. And he "never allows Masonry to mix with business." (Oh, dear, no! You ask the lodge to appropriate a modest sum of money for a Mason's widow, and you are surprised to hear an objection from Bro. Near-Mason. There was a deficiency on the recent entertainment which the lodge was obliged to make good, and it is now time to economize. We cannot be responsible for Brother So-and So's widow. She is in good health and ought to support herself. He believes in conserving the funds of the lodge when a donation is asked for a worthy charity. But we must have entertainment, "to keep up the interest." and "the lodge ought to pay for it." Bro. Near-Mason decides that he would like to be W. M., and announces that he is willing to sit for a year as S. W. as a preparatory step. When he is reminded that the, J. W. is worthy of advancement, and that the S. D. has done good work, he magnanimously admits it, but declares that "they can wait." As for himself, his business standing and social prominence makes it impossible for him to lower his nigunity by accepting a minor office! He insists that he will stand as S. W. He "stands" and is bowled over by the J. W., who is not at all a pretentious chap, but earnest in and out of season in his work for the lodge. Bro. Near-Mason is offended. He stays away from the lodge, and when he meets a brother gives him a distant bow, or stops to air his grievance against the lodge for which he has "done so much." Hewill not pay his dues, and in the course of a few years he is dropped from the roll of members. When you hear his name read in the list of delinquents you ask yourself what this brilliant brother ever did for the lodge after all. After a period of deep cogitation you reach a conclusion: He paid his dues for a few years and created a disturbance. He was only a surface Mason after all—Masonic Standard.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Gen. xliii, 13, 19, 23-34-Memory Verses, 29, 30-Golden Text, I John 2-10-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Because of Jacob's determination not to let Benjamin go to Egypt and the determination of the sons not to go without him they "tarried till the corn they had brought was consumed. Then when they had to go or starve Judah pleaded with his father, saying: "Send the ladd with me, and we will arise and go. * I will be surety for him" (verses 8-10). This is all so suggestive, for the great and only surety, the Lord Jesus, came from the tribe of Judah (Heb. vil. 14), and in one of the great "Who is this?" verses concerning Him it is written. "Who is He that hath been surety for his heart to approach unto me?" (Jer. xxx. 21, R. V. M.) I still believe, as I have long believed, that anointed eyes may see Jesus Christ on every page of Scripture, but he must be blind indeed who cannot see Him in this wonderful story. As Jacob sent away his sons with a present for the ruler in Egypt who controlled the corn and double money to pay for the first corn and the next and Benjamin he said, "God Almighty give you mercy before the man" (verse 14). This is one of the most wonderful names of God in the Bible, and it is found thirty-one times in the book of Job and only twenty-six times in all the rest of the Bible. It is "El-shaddai," which may signify "the Mighty God, who is all sufficient." To know the sufficiency of God we must know our own insufficiency and become, like Job, thoroughly emptied of self (Job xii, 5, 6). Jacob was now thoroughly emptied, even of his last loved son, Joseph's own brother, and was very near the time of fulness of blessing. We may not attempt to describe the feelings of Joseph as he looked upon the face of his own brother and gave orders to the ruler of his house to make ready to have those men dine with him, nor can we imagine their surprise as. Simeon having joined them, those eleven men sat before him in the order of their ages-Reuben, Simeon, Levi. Judah and so on to the youngest. Benjamin (verses 23, 33). We think of how thoroughly we are known by Him whom we know not as we might and will some day, and we cannot but think of another gathering of twelve when He sat with the eleven at the passover. Judas having gone. Their fear and the "Peace be to you, fear not," of verses 18, 23. make us think of His "Peace be unto you." * * * Why are ye troubled?* to the ten, and a week later His "Peace be unto you" to the eleven (Luke xxiv. 36-38; John xx. 20). The great adversary takes delight in filling us with thoughts of fear and unrest, but the Lord's thoughts to us are always thoughts-of peace (Jer. xxix. 11; Ps. xxix. 11; lxxxx. 8; John xiv. 1; Matt. xxiv. 6). The steward of Joseph's house seems to have known the God of Israel (verse 23), and we are not surprised, being in the service of such a man as Joseph. His words must have comforted the brethren and specially when he restored Simeon to them, no doubt in good condition. The water for their feet (gerse 24) takes us back to xviii. 4, and on to Luke vii. John xiii. When Joseph came home at noon they had the present ready and bowed themselves to him to the earth with probably never a thought of a dream they had heard twenty years before. There should be great comfort to every believer in "the eternal purpose of God" and in the assurance that "every purpose of the Lord shall be performed" (Eph. 11. 11; Jer. 2i. 20). How can our hearts be quiet as we look on this scene and hear Joseph say to them: "Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? * * * Is this your younger brother of whom ye spake unto me? God be fragrious unto thee, my son." We do not wonder that Joseph could not restrain his feelings and that he had to hurry to his chamber to weep. How natural to read that after weeping he washed his face before he could be calm enough to go out to them again (verses 30, 31). Did you never do it after those tears had come that you could not restrain and your eyes were red with weeping, but a plentiful supply of water helped, and you looked like yourself again? I do not quite see how they could be merry with him. They did not know him except as the ruler of Egypt, and their guilt concerning their brother, of whom they said, "One is not," could not altogether fade from their minds, but it is wonderful how pleasant surroundings can make us forget for a time. They were certainly highly honored to be thus invited to dine with so great a man, and for the time being seemed to forget all else. They needed, however, more humiliation and a deeper conviction of sin, and it had to come. There can be no lasting peace until we have learned that we are sinners and nothing but sinners and that in us—that is, in our flesh—dwelleth no good thing (Rom. vii, 18). Miss Habershon's suggestive typical lessons from this chapter are concerning the feast made ready and the perfect love of Him who makes the feast casting out all fear (Matt. xxil, 4; I John iv, 18; Rom. xv, 13). She also quotes Luke xv, 24, in connection with their being merry. PATE'S DRUG STORE GEO. PATE, Proprietor PA E SAYS It is time to clean up the bed. Don't put it off.

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, 1844, records that four days previously "the journey from Slough to Paddington was accomplished in less time than the distance had ever been traversed. The eleighteen 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. 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.

For the housewife who is not familiar with the possibilities of cooking cucumbers a real culinary treat is in store. So different is the flavor of these much malligned vegetables when they are properly cooked from their flavor when raw that they really afford an answer to the oft expressed wish for something new under the sun in the line of vegetables. One of the most delicious ways of transforming the raw fruit to a digestible and flavorome dish is in the form of timbales. To make these timbales you will need cooked cucumber pulp, which may be procured, by putting cucumbers which have been previously peeled and boiled through a meat chopper. Use a cupful of this pulp to oily-half cupful of breadcrumbs and one-half cupful of thick cream sauce. Add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, the beaten yolks of two eggs and a little onion juice. When these ingredients have been well mixed fold in the beaten whites of the two eggs. Bake in timbale molds in hot water and serve hot. The Art of Baking Cucumbers. To make scalloped cucumbers peel and slice six cucumbers. Then arrange them in a buttered baking dish as if scalloping any other vegetable, first a layer of breadcrumbs and then a layer of cucumbers, and so on until the dish is filled. Between the layers flavor with grated onion and lemon, a little butter, paprika, celery salt, salt and pepper. Bake an bour. For stuffed cucumbers peel and split as many good sized cucumbers as desired. Scrape out the pulp and fill with a mixture of chicken stock and crumbs favored to taste. Bake in a baking dish in a half inch of chicken stock. They should be baked till tender and basted often with the stock on the bottom of the dish. The remaining stock when the cucumbers are done should be thickened with a teaspoonful of cornstarch and served as a gravy with the vegetables. Two Tempting Hot Weather Entrees. To make deviled cucumbers begin by peeling and slicing them as when preparing raw cucumbers. Place them in ice water for an hour and then drain them. Dip them in flour seasoned with salt, celery salt, pepper or any desired seasoning, and fry in butter and serve with the following sauce: To a cup of stewed, strained tomatoes add one-half teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, grated lemon skin, the juice of half a lemon and a tablespoonful of olive oil. Cook this till well mixed and serve hot. Cucumbers on toast are a delicious dish. The vegetables should be cut in half inch slices and stewed in water till tender, but not broken. Meanwhile boil a cupful of cream with a tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Drain the cucumbers, heat them in the cream sauce and serve on toast. A Hot Sauce of Cucumbers. To make cucumber ketchup take three large cucumbers, peel and grate them. Add a tablespoonful of salt and eleven teaspoonfuls of black pepper. Add a handful of horseradish, one large grated onion and a pint of strong vinegar. Bottle and cork loosely. Orange Charlotte. One-third box of gelatin, one-third cupful of cold water, one-third cupful of boiling water, a cup of sugar, juice of a lemon, a cup of orange juice and pulp, whites of three eggs. Soak the gelatin in cold water until soft, add the boiling water, sugar and lemon juice and a little of the grated rind. Cool in a pan of ice water and when it begins to harden beat in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Serve with a custard made with the yolks of the egg, a pint of milk, three heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar and a little salt. Flavor to taste or you can cut it up in pieces and serve with whipped cream. Green Peas. Put the desired quantity of young peas in a stewpan with butter, allowing eight ounces to every quart of peas; a bunch of parsley, a few small onions and a little salt. Moisten with broth and cook slowly until tender. Now stir in the beaten yolks of two eggs and a teaspoonful of sugar, not allowing to boil after the eggs are added. serve on a hot dish.

NEW HAND BAGS. They Are Long and Narrow and May Be Handsomely Ornamented. The vogue of the large hand bag hung from the shoulder or arm by thick cords and tassels seems to be over. This bag has been a favorite for many seasons. Gradually from quite small dimensions it grew to enormous proportions till women not only carried in its recesses all the vanity fittings, keys, money and handkerchief, but various articles of jewelry as well. The latest bag goes to the other extreme in size. Made long and not very deep, it is shaped like a man's pocketbook, with an envelope flap forming the fastening on one side, while on the other there is a narrow strap fixed so that the bag may be carried on the hand. These bags, made of polished leather or moire, are lined with soft white kid or satin in some delicate coloring, and they are quite flat. Some of the more expensive varieties of the flat bag are outlined in flexible gold and caught down with jeweled clasps, but the more ordinary makes have a simple fastening in plain gilt. A Novel Hat Rack The girl with several hats to stow away in her bedroom finds the problem of where to dispose of them a difficult one to solve. Two or three hats put away in a box together are not improved by the contact of one with the other. Moreover, the ordinary hatbox is not beautiful to look at. Here is an idea for a nest of hat boxes that is really pretty: Procure three large square band-boxes with lids and cover all as neatly as possible with flowered chintz, lining the insides with linen or holland. Next get your carpenter to run up a three tier stand of white wood (on the principle of the wicker cake stands that are used for afternoon tea) on which to place the boxes. The stand, which consists of four posts and three or four shelves each large enough to hold a hat box, should be enameled white, and the effect of the chintz covered boxes on it is a very pretty one. Some Turns. Mrs. Willis—Is your husband of a literary turn of mind? Mrs. Gillis—Yes. Whenever an idea turns up he turns it over in his mind, turns it out as a story, turns it in to an editor, who turns it around and turns it down—Puck: The patch of garden that is not to be planted until early in June would better be left until nearly that time before being plowed for the reason that myriads of surface weeds that have been germinated will be killed by the late plowing, while the ground will be a good deal mellower than it would be if plowed early and allowed to settle following heavy rains. One city man whose case the writer noted the other day rented seven acres of land and put it into horseradish. In October when he harvested his crop he had twelve tons and 400 pounds of the root. His expenses, including rental, preparation of the soil, horseradish sets and harvest expense was $242. The crop brought him $75 per ton, or $917, leaving a net profit of $675. Many lands do not give good results in the growing of clover and alfalfa because they need sweetening with lime. When the need of this treatment is indicated by testing with blue litmus, which is exposed to the soil for a couple of hours and turns red, from a ton to a ton and a half of finely ground limestone should be applied and harrowed in, or it may be applied with manure. For the past three years the Massachusetts experiment station has been testing out the question of the interference of alfalfa roots with systems of tile drain. It was found that when nothing was done to prevent it the roots seriously clogged the tile, but that the roots could be kept out of the drains by covering the tile at the time of laying with excelsor or sawdust soaked with crocote. Those who have not found it out by their own experience will be interested in knowing' that, while a tent is a very hot place during the daytime when the sun is shining, it becomes a remarkably cool place just as soon as the sun is set. There is something in connection with the rapid radiation of the heat from a tent that brings this about. Besides this, a tent will be perfectly ventilated during the night without a direct wind blowing through it. Many a sow is farrowing litters of dead or weakly pigs these days simply because she has not been given proper housing and feed during the weeks that have preceded this ordeal. The trouble is usually traceable to the fact that she has not been given sufficient bone and muscle building food or has been given too much oilmeal. Just a little care exercised in regard to the sow's bill of fare will save a lot of trouble and also a big loss in little pigs. Some interesting facts have been brought out as a result of some exhaustive statistical data which have been gathered by representatives of the animal husbandry bureau of the federal department of agriculture relative to the prolificacy of two of the leading breeds of hogs-Poland Chinas and, Duroc-Jerseys. It was found that in 21,632 litters of the latter breed the average number of pigs per litter was 9.26, while with the former breed 50,000 litters reported showed an average of a trifle less than 7.5 pigs per litter. Chemical analysis shows that a ton of corn silage contains 344 pounds of digestible nutrients—that is, food elements that can be used by an animal for maintenance, growth or milk production. In one ton of timothy hay there are 976 pounds of digestible nutrients. This means that timothy hay contains more than two and a half times as much in food elements as silage. Therefore, if timothy is worth $10 a ton, silage would be worth a trifle less than $4 per ton. But it is well to remember that the same acre of land which produces a ton of timothy will yield ten tons of silage. A horse that the writer noticed hitched the other day seemed well nigh frantic with some skin trouble, probably mange, which is caused by a minute animal that tunnels just beneath the surface of the skin, where it lays its eggs and where the young are hatched. When a horse is thus afflicted the following treatment should be given: Apply soft soap to-the affected parts, letting it stay on for about three hours. The soap should then be washed off, the skin allowed to dry and one of the following treatments given: Bathe the entire surface of the skin with any one of the standard coal tar dips diluted with water to the proper strength or bathe the skin with common engine oil in each gallon of which four or five ounces of sulphur have been mixed. If the case of mange is severe the treatment should be repeated in about ten days. The first American patent for a sewing machine was issued to a man named Lye in 1836. A fire which occurred that same year destroyed all the patent office records, so the construction of this machine is not known. Very Respectfully, Lye's Sewing Machine. When There's a Contagious Disease In the House Look Out For Bedridden the House Look Out For Bedclothes. When there has been serious illness in the home and while there is serious illness one of the most important things to do is to thoroughly sterilize the linen—not only the bed linen, but all handkerchiefs, towels and everything with which the patient has come or is constantly coming in contact with. The moment that linen is removed from a sickbed it should be put in cold water, and kept there until time for washing. In water it becomes quite harmless, and absolutely all danger from it is eliminated. One great trouble is that doctors who advise soaking the linen in various germ killing solutions or promptly bolling the linen do not realize that all stains in the linen will under such conditions be made practically indelible. Of course every housewife prides herself upon her spotless linen, and to stain a great quantity of it is, in her mind, a catastrophe. When the doctor says, "Soak your linen in this or that preparation" or "Boil all the linen at once, long and thoroughly," he does not realize that this will prevent any stains on the linen from ever coming out. Practically all trained nurses today in private families know this is not necessary. They know that such linen put in water and kept in water will remain quite harmless. After the linen has thoroughly soaked the laudress may easily wash out the stains before putting such linen into the hot water for bolling or before soaking in some germ destroying preparation. As a matter of fact, no germicide is needed. A long and thorough bolling of this linen will serve that purpose and kill every germ that lurks in the folds or meshes of the cloth. WHAT TO DO WITH EGGS. Recipes Particularly Good For Tea Room Service. Eggs opera are especially good for tea room service, and now that so many of these places of refreshment are run by women all over the country the recipe may be of interest. Butter an individual shirring dish; break two egg into it; set the dish into a moderate oven to remain until the egg white is slightly coagulated throughout. Set the dish on a breakfast plate; on one side of the eggs in the dish dispose half a dozen cooked stalks of as- ```markdown ``` EGGS OPERA AND EGGS A LA DAUPHINE. paragus, a teaspoonful of Hollandaise sauce, above, and on the other side of the eggs group cubes of calf's liver broiled on one or two skewers and serve at once. To cook the liver pour boiling water over a slice of liver, cut a scant three-fourths of an inch thick, then cut in cubes. Butter one or two skewers and run them through the cubes. Broil over a moderate fire about four minutes, turning each ten seconds. Push from the skewer to the side of the egg. Set two small slices of toasted bread, well buttered, on a serving dish. Above dispose about eighteen hot, cooked asparagus tips. Above the tips set two poached eggs. Pour over the whole a scant cup of Madeira sauce, in which six or eight peeled mushroom caps (sliced or not) have been simmered about ten minutes. When manure is thrown on the land in big, hard chunks it may be said to be for those spots worse than no fertilizer at all. It is right here that the efficacy of the manure spreader comes in. It breaks the manure up finely and scatters it evenly. Germs revel in a dirty hog trough or unclean calf pall or milk pall. It is worth remembering that these same germs are the agencies that make all kinds of trouble with the animals or folks that have to use these utensils. Frequent scalding is a simple and effective way of knocking the germs. We have often stood in great admiration of the housewife who will dig dandelions for a family of hungry people and in preparing them for the kettle look over every leaf to see that there is not a bug or worm on it. We talk about the patience of Job, but this dandelion business seems to put him in the shade. STERILIZED LINEN. "Orchestra" and "Noise." In Shakespeare's time no musical dictionary could have distinguished between "orchestra" and "band," for the simple reason that neither word was then English in a musical sense. "Orchestra" did not arrive before the eighteenth century and even "band" not until the latter half of the seventeenth, when Charles II. had a "band of violins," in imitation probably of Louis XIV.'s "bande." The old English word for a band of music was "noise." "See if thou canst find out Sneak's noise. Mistress Tearsheet would fain hear some music," says one drawer to the other at the Boar's Head tavern. And Ben Jonson has "a noise of fiddlers" and "a noise of trumpets." Patronizing Papa "I hear that you undertook to chastise that precocious youngster of yours." "Yes, and I got a little respect out of him too." "How do you know?" "He, told me that if I would go to the gym and train a little he thought he could make a hard hitter out of me." —Chicago News. "So that is your avuncular relation." He was. But the new doctor we got cured him."—Baltimore American. EXCESS IS ERROR. Moderation in all things is the rule of the man of wisdom. Excess is always error. Anything may be overdone. The law of temperance applies to all phases of life. There is nothing, however good, in which man may not become intemperate. Pressing a Suit. To press a suit lay the article smoothly on the ironing board. Place over it a piece of goods that has no lint or fuzz on it. Lay this on dry. Have a basin of water. Use a sponge or soft brush with a handle, dip in water and rub over the cloth. Now iron. If upon lifting the cloth you find any shine put cloth on again wet and iron again, taking off the cloth this time before it is dry, and there will be no shine. Pressing too dry will leave the shine, so be sure to take off the cloth while still damp. Never press wool goods of any kind on the right side without the damp cloth. Collar and Cuff Sets Adjustable collar and cuffs, printed in colors on crepon and heavy linen, are smart accessories to dresses of plain color. Carrying an air of chic is a set of coarse gray linen, bordered with gray little flower bouquets. How One Woman Manages. Owing to the fact that the maid is usually away on Sunday evening the duty of preparing this informal meal falls on the house mother. In a certain household the little daughters are permitted to take turns at preparing supper, with the understanding that it must be limited to sandwiches or an equivalent, cake, fruit, tea or chocolate. "They are not allowed." she explained. "to serve anything heavier, not only because it is undesirable, but because they might attempt to outdo each other in elaborate dishes and thus turn what they now call 'sport' into a burden that would dampen their youthful ardor. They enjoy making sandwiches, and cookbooks are explored for new ways of making them, which, by the way, are endless. Of course I am taken into their confidence, but the rest of the family are not allowed to know what awaits them for supper. And I keep up their interest by letting them have freedom of choice in the purchase and preparation of food materials, for I recall how I hated this work when a girl because I was told what to prepare by my mother." Care of Aluminium Ware. There are two kinds of aluminium ware, the "spun" and the "cast." The spun is much lighter and should be chosen for light weight utensils and not for frying pans or serviceable kettles. Never use any alkali in water in which aluminium is washed. It will cause the outer surface to become dark. Polish nice ware weekly with a good whiting or silver cream, and the ware retains its luster longer. Mock Pineapple Salad Core and peel three nice large apples, slice them thin and against the grain of the fruit. Peel two fine large oranges and remove all outside white pulp, slice them rather thicker than the apple and also crosswise. Now place them in a glass dish in alternate layers. Asparagus and Pepper Salad. Remove the seeds from green peppers. Cut rings one-fourth of an inch wide and slip through them asparagus stalks, canned or freshly cooked. Serve with cold French dressing. (continued from last week) A GREAT SPEECH A Corrected Error. Right here I want to admit, began the speaker, that we could be no more guilty of an act of business disloyalty, or to prove more conclusively our inability to grasp an opportunity which seemed to have been offered to us by Providence itself, than that time, when we as Negroes failed to establish and support Negro industrial insurance such as the progressive Ga. Mutual which is an acknowledged blessing to our people. But instead, we support those insurances which very naturally could not offer us any hope of advancement for the good reason that they belong to another race. But this probleme has been solved by Negro men of brave and adventurous business spirit, who were willing to invest their money thereby going through the financial dangers which are always found in new business ventures, and as a consequence we are now ready to submit to you a business monument erected to the financial honor and glory of us all.

Agt. accommodation of my Subscription Rates: That the board of education has decided to convert the Haven Home school, where but four grades are now being taught, into a full size public school is very gratifying to us. The appeal of our citizens for another fulfledged school is of long standing; and now that their desires along this line are about to be fulfilled is a source of much pleasure and satisfaction to us. The location of the Haven Home school property is ideal for a modern school building, and the erection of a well equipped building on this property will be a delight to us all. If there is any one thing which the members of our race must learn and learn quickly, it is to recognize authority when the same is vested in and exercised by individuals of our own race. This we, too often, fail to do. As a result, a condition obtains among us, which is indeed too sad to comment upon. This condition we find to exist almost everywhere among us. In our lodges, in our societies, in our churches and elsewhere, the same disregard for authority when vested in and exercised by one of our own, is manifested. This is indeed to be regretted. The sooner our people realize this great and telling short coming of themselves, the better will it be for them. Authority when vested in and exercised, by a black skin is just as much authority as when vested in a skin of any other hue. Our people must learn this sooner or later or else many failures will be ours. To those of us who have been accustomed to override authority when exercised by our own, we earnestly appeal to them, to amend their way. We must have the proper respect for each other. Let us begin to learn to do this at once and much of the existing bitterness between so many of us will fade away as a result. The report comes to us from Washington that a determined effort on the part of certain democratic senators and representatives will be made in the very near future to have the fifteenth amendment repealed, and the fourteenth amendment revised that full citizenship to the Negro will be denied hereafter. It is said that the leader in this movement to deprive the black man of his political rights, is the notorious and fire-cating Senator Vardaman from Mississippi. For some time, Vardaman and others of his ilk have been threatening and attempting to bring before Congress such anti-Negro measures. However, this was an impossibility to them as long as the Republican majority held the supremacy. Under the Republican regime, the anti-Negro measures got no further than the committee room where they were killed. However, the politics of the country have changed somewhat. The Democrats are now in power and Vardaman being a Democrat naturally thinks that now is the time to put through his anti-Negro measures and thus go Senator Tillman one better. Will he succeed? This is the all important question now. While it is true that we have enemies of the most unmerciful and uncompromising make up; enemies who would crush out our very vitals, if the opportunity presented itself to them so to do, yet it is nevertheless true, that we still have remaining, a few friends who are tried and true. Some of these are within the Republican fold; some are lined up under Democratic colors and some, we believe, are marching under the emblem of the Progressive party. These friends have not failed us in the past. We do not believe that they will fail us in the present. Senator Vardaman has no doubt reckoned without reason in satisfying him- self that he will be able to carry to successful fruition his anti-Negro programme. Ho will no doubt find supporters for his measures who will be as active as he himself will be. On the other hand, he will find members of congress and even of his own party, who will be most violent in their opposition to his programme. Senator Vardaman can play the game if he cares to. In his quest for notoriety, he will no doubt find pleasure in this. But lest he forgets, we wish to remind him of the biblical injunction that "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Tillman was had his day and now presents the spectacle of a broken reed. Other Negro hating demagogues have suffered likewise. Senator Vardaman must know that there is One mightier than he is, who shields and protect those who trust and believe in Him. And that one is God. The arrest, trial and conviction of Troy Newkirk, the well-known private chauffeur, ought to have a deep significance to the many young men of our race whose daily vocation entrusts to them the steering wheels of the hundreds of motor drawn vehicles which are seen at all times in and about the streets of our city. Newkirk was charged with reckless driving which resulted in the death of a little child. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to a term of three years in the state penitentiary. The trial judge in passing sentence, took occasion to warn all reckless drivers to cease their violation of the traffic ordinance, which endangers public safety or to expect punishment similar to Newkirk's in case they are brought before him for trial for any accident due to their recklessness. Without regard to the merits or demerits of the Newkirk case as brought out at the trial, the questions which it brought up and the comments to which it gave rise, ought to be food for thought to all chauffeurs and would be chauffeurs of our people. There is no denying the fact that there is a growing demand throughout the country for a safer and saner handling of motor cars by the drivers of them. Speed-mania has long since ceased to be an incurable disease. On the other hand, the courts have found a remedy for it—imprisonment. The driver of an automobile has a great responsibility resting upon him. He is doubly charged. He is charged with the safety of the occupants of his car as well as the safety of the pedestrians among whom he flits as he makes street crossings, viaducts, bridges, etc. Hence, he must be careful at all times if he wishes to avoid being the cause of some serious or fatal accident. He must remember that the streets of our municipalities are as much the property of the pedestrians as they are his and that he should govern himself accordingly. With the advent of the automobile, a new and remunerative field of activity has been opened to our people. Some of the finest and most palatial cars are entrusted to their cares. They hold, in many instances positions much sought after by other people. To hold their own, they must not only be competent but careful as well. A car so handled that there is very little need of its going to the repair shop at frequent intervals, is a recommendation of the efficiency and carefulness of its driver. It matters not how reckless the other fellow may be, our people cannot afford to do likewise. We must remember that we are always on trial; that our actions are scrutinized and commented upon much more than the action of others; that unfortunately, the race is made to bear the blame of the faults of individuals. In the making of history for our people, the Negro chauffeur can contribute his share. Our competency along mechanical lines is doubted. The Negro chauffeur can do a great deal to dispel this doubt. Owing to alleged carelessness, indifference and insensibility to responsibility, we are said to be incapable of holding positions which carry with them the care and keeping of the lives of human beings. By their actions our Negro chauffeurs can deny this. We regret that the Newkirk trial came about. We are sorry for the convicted, his victim and his survivors. However, the trial has its meaning to all of our young men who are drivers of cars in and about our city. May they catch the significance of it and govern themselves accordingly.

C A. room last Saturday and the discussion of the topic, "Who should marry, and who should not." was both interesting and helpful. A desirable program is arranged for to-morrow; one of the features will be an address by Mr. E. W. Eastan of the Georgia State College. All members are expected to be present. Friends and visitors are cordially invited at 3:30 p. m. on the 2nd floor of Williams Building on West Broad street. Chapel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Harden and 36th Streets On Sunday May 18th there will be an evening service at the little school chapel, beginning at 8 p. m. After the opening hymn, Father Dahlent will deliver a special discourse on the first and greatest of all truths in and religion, namely: "I believe in God." After the sermon, two girls, Meta Newton and Lizzie Wallace, will make the profession of faith and receive holy baptism. It will be an impressive ceremony. The school children of the higher grades are invited to assist at the baptism of their two companions. At the close of the service, night prayers will be said and the joyful hymn "Holy God, we praise thy name" will be rendered by the congregation. On Tuesday afternoon the children of the Catholic schools will have a pleasant party and a peanut hunt at the school Hall. It will be the last one before the closing of the schools and a large crowd of children is expected to enjoy the event. A pretty program is being prepared for the closing exercises which will be held on June 2nd, it promises to be one of the best ever rendered by the children. During the next two weeks the examination in the various subjects will take place; the children are all working hard to make splendid marks. St. Benedict Church Sunday May 18th. Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. Low masses at 7 and 8 a. m. High mass and sermon at 10:30 a. m. Sunday school after the low mass. At 8 p. m., Rosary, sermon and benediction of the most blessed Sacrament. The morning sermon will be preached by Father Dahlent; the subject is "One God in Three Divine Persons." After the evening service St. Mary's Aid society will have its monthly meeting. The administration of Confirmation on last Sunday afternoon was a grand ceremony. Twenty four candidates, mostly adults, received the Litany. Bishop Keiley, robed in purple vestments with mitre and crosiers, emblems of his episcopal dignity, addressed kindly and interesting words to the candidates before he confirmed them. It was a beautiful sight to look on the boys and men with special badges and the girls, dressed in white with pretty veils and wreaths as they marched in solemn procession through the church. A large congregation filled the church, which was tastefully decorated. The congregational singing also was a pleasant feature. The few boys who represented the Catholic schools at the games made a good showing. They won three first prizes and one second prize. Marion Kelly won the two walking contests; John Harris was first in the egg and spoon race, and Henry Debro, the little athlete of great abilities, was second in the potato race. We congratulate the lucky wicners who all got nice prizes; to others we say, do not be disheartened, keep on trying, you may have better luck the next time.

Only a word indicating the degree of strength requisite for accomplishing particular objects; a mere notice of the necessity for exertion; a bugbear to children and fools; only a mere stimulus to men. Difficulties are made to be mastered.—Warren. Long Legged Birds. Long legged birds have tails so short that they seem to be out of proportion to their bodies. But there is a reason for the short tails. Birds while flying and often while walking use their tails for steering purposes. When birds with long legs take to flight they throw their legs behind in a manner that causes them to serve the same purpose as a tail. Camela' Hair. Waterproof tents, bags and rugs are made from camel's hair, which is plucked out in the spring. THE BEST PLACE In Savannah FORMEN'S GOOD SHOES Prices $3.50 up B. H. Levy, Bro. Co.

We everyday Week Are As Follows "The Brothers" "The Way of a Mother" h for Ten Cents comes to the Odd Fellow Celebration The following is the address which was delivered by Professo John McIntosh, the principa speaker of the afternoon: Worthy Deputy W D. Armstrong, o 321 District Division of the Grand. United Order of Odd Fellows, Jurisdiction of Georgia, Distinguished Chairman, Brother Edward H. Burke, of the most peaceful, harmonious and intelligent joint committee, I have attended for many years officers of the most auspicious Odd Fellows day; Master of ceremonies, ladies and gentlemen, members and lovers of the grandest order of man on earth, outranked only by the Church of the eternal Jehovah and Masonry: From the deepest recesses of my heart I fondly greet you. I am with you once more, and I most exultingly thank God for His magnanimous mercies and exuberant blessings, lavishly showered upon us since we have been absent one from another. Away back in the encircling ages of eternity, the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God created a magnificent Eden, and constituted it a gigantic receptical and supply house. He veiled it with the beautiful canopy of the blue concave of the heavens, he adorned it with the creative brilliancy of the mighty sun of rejuvenating light and heat, and in close proximity He has set the moon, lovely moon, smiling queen of the night, in all her crescendo sweetness; and in yonder heavens. He stationed the stars in myriads, each differing in brightness and beauty; and the piades, the great white way of the heavens along whose paths the angles thread on their inspecting tour, shall I not mention them? Yes, and last but not least, He has set the quintessence of beauty and loveliness, the crescent rainbow of hope in yonder sky, telling us, He will never again deluge Eden with water. Thank God for this. My brethren, I would be delighted to speak to you of God's intent and the gracious magnanimity of His heart of love, in the creation of the happy inmates of Eden; the gigantic supply house, our earth, our air and sky, but the occasion does not warrant it, and the time would not permit, and so let the pleasure of expatiating upon God's grandeur, as evinced in His heavens of beauty. Its atmosphere of hygienic potency, His Eden of food, raiment, and shelter, for man, wonderful man, but thank God for all this. He breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul, monarch of all he surveys, with a mind so powerful, an eye so penetrating, that with the telescope eye of science, he peers into the skies, grasps the dashing lightenings in their mad career, harnesses them into services for humanity; makes them to carry cars all over the face of the earth, with a little wire imakes them run our machinery. Yes, in short, makes them do our bidding, or say to the mighty winds and waters, carry, this ship to yonder country, city or seaports, and they bow in humble obedience. Thank God for all of this But in the divine graciousness of God's scrutiny, He discovered a missing link as He scanned His magnificently grand creation. He saw that it was not good for man to be alone, and so He created woman, lovely woman, queenly progenetress of the human family; God was the workman, and the material was a rib, taken I imagine from the right side, and from under his right arm, emphatically emblematic of this significance that God intended that she was to exist, work, live and die by his right side, for man surely has a wrong side, both of body, soul, and mind, and God pity the woman that gets on his wrong side. Yes, the divine mechanic got his material from under his arm, evidently to demonstrate that she was to be rightly under and submissive to man, and at the very same time, receive his strong arm of protection: she was never intended for a beast, to be nagged, or gored, or whipped or abused, by man, and kept far away from man's protection, support and love. While man is king like yonder sun of day, woman is queen like yonder sweet beautiful moon of the serene night of rest. We speak of man being God's chief handiwork, the crowning act of God's creation, but no; woman was the last act of God's creation, God reached the climax of His labor when, He created man, and He reached the very quintessence of His aesthetic nature when He made woman. Thank God for all this. Man fearfully and wonderfully made, are you living in harmony with God's plan of creation? Have you a woman by your side, a queen, a dear old mother, a devoted and faithful wife or sister, or daughter, and are you supporting, protecting and loving her? If you are thus exemplifying God's plan and purpose, may heaven smile upon you, and if you are not; let me exhort you in the language of your Maker: "Quit yourselves like men, be strong." The old parson was preaching one day and said: "My brothers and sisters, God created man and woman just alike, only in woman He placed a little deviatian." A good old brother, away back in the church, who had been asleep all through the service, raised up, rubbed his eyes and said: "Thank God for that little deviation." This is Thanksgiving [day you know.] A boy had been raised up by the priest, and was told that woman was a devil, but one day more than all, the priest and the boy were walking out, and this boy saw a woman across the street, and longingly watched her. The priest said to him: "Son, have I not told you from early childhood, from the very dawn of your youth, that woman was a devil?" "Yes father, but I want that devil." Yes, friends, want woman, tho she be a devil; God intended it to be so with this proviso, that you get yours and I get mine; hence, marriage. God made woman after man, and she has been after man ever since, and will be after man to the end of time. Thank God for woman. Agree then to walk side by side. down life's pathway, scattering sunshine, and plucking sweet, beautiful flowers, in baneful failures, doubts and fears the same as in salubrious prosperity; God will be with you on the journey. Hear the cry of the faithful, loving and true woman to her unfaithful, brutal husband, who would starve her, make her go naked, strike her down, as he would an ox! "Tho you slay me, yet I will trust in thee and be true." And when this same brutal husband excitedly and cruelly says to her: "Woman flee from my arms that once embraced you in love, leave the home that once sheltered you, and the children you bore for me in deepest love; go into the wilds of poverty—you are too ignorant and black for me now, I am too high for you." I hear that same faithful wife of his childhood days who stood by him when he was nothing, crying "Oh husband of my youth, and best days, husband for whom I have suffered the very pains of death in bearing those little ones, Oh entreat me not to leave the, for where ere thou goest, I will go, and where ere thou diest I will die and be buried." Thank God for the faithful wife. Thank God for one who will dare tell you the plain truth. But pardon me for presenting this dark picture of treacherous human nature. But, my dear brother: Odd Fellows and loving Inmates of the Households of Ruth, sweet Juveniles of innocence, remove your gaze of horror from the dark picture of human frailty and joyously with reviving thanksgiving, cast your eyes upon yonder canvass of progress of the order in the last few years. See passing before your eyes in magnificent splendor and rejuvenating grandeur 60,000 hearty Odd Fellows note the $86,000 loaned to the members of the order with which to build homes, buy farms, and go intobusiness; note if you please the $100,000 paid out to the widows and orphans; behold in yonder coffers of the Order the increasing valuable titles to $300,000 of real estate and its splendid city property of $200,000; walk with me down Auburn avenue, Atlanta, and scan with pleasing eyes that whole block between Butler and Bell streets etc. Come with me to yonder Gate City of the south, and stopping at 200 Auburn Avenue, feast your eyes upon that Odd Fellows Office Building, with its 5 stories peering into the heights of the ethereal regions of Atlanta, steadied upon an adamant basement like unto the one beneath Pisgah's heights; pass through its six fine stores, 42 offices, and six lodge rooms; view its interior finished in marble beautifully white, emblematic of purity and then clap your hands for joy and gladness, and thank God for these magnificent acquisitions and valuable assets; Yes thank God for this gem of beauty and utility, the pride of Georgia's structures in architectural utility and artistic beauty and splendor. Yea, more, let us thank God for the active spirits of the Order, who so grandly and successfully financed and brought it into a tangible and visible reality, the Hon. B. J. Davis, W. A. Edwards, Dr. W. A. Penn, W. T. Gibbons, S. Cunningham, and Wm. Driskell, Dr. H. R. Butler, G. M. Howell, Dr. A. D. Jones, R. E. Pharrow, builder, the Hon. H. L. Johnson, Attorneys er, the Hon. II. II.2. Bonham, Attorney. Hear me brethren for the good of the Order. Hear me for the good of the race! Hear me for humanily's sakel when all the profound emphasis of my soul, from the deepest recesses of my heart, I call upon you to stop fighting the men and women of the Order, who have done something for the good of the Order. Stop, stop, stop, stop! Stop fighting men and women who are doing something for the good of the order, and thereby help the race in its herculean struggle for recognition and maintenance of true manhood and noble womanhood. Let us as Savannah Odd Fellows, and invites Inmates of Household of Ruth, ask for, clamor for, pray for, and work for some of the good and grand things established here in Savannah, that are established elsewhere, by brain and brawn, the money and men of this grand old order, Davis and his true and tried followers. Let us ask for some investment here, some paying real estate, some beautiful structure, hall or bank or playhouse, or business venture of some kind that will give employment to our juveniles, yea, to our boys and girls, our men and women. Let us ask for something that will inspire in our breast and others, greater love and support for friendship, love and truth, peace, happiness and prosperity, innocence, hope and virtue. Tha k God for the propitious signs of the brighter future, and when I am dead and gone to yonder happy city, and shall be peacefully walking the golden streets of glory with Ogden and Barnes, say McIntosh told us, and cried peace in our midst while he lived. Oh thank God for smiling truth. Again let us scan with pleasing scrutiny, the signs of progress, of the order abroad, and at home. The most marked and substantial sign is viz: The establishment of the Division Deputy or Supervisor System. What is it and what has it done, and what will it do for the order? Listen! In the year 1908 there were 13 Households and 250 members. In the year 1913 there are 13 Households and 686 members. Four time as many Households and nearly three times as many members. An increase of ten Households and an increase of 416 members. In the year 1908 there were 6 lodges and 662 members. In the year 1913 there are 17 lodges and 1777 members. Nearly four times as many lodges, and nearly 2 as many members. Combined Households and lodges in 1908 were 9. Combined Households and lodges membership 1913 were 2463. Divisions in the state 52. Deputies in the State 52. Supervisors in the state 52. Total 104 Deputies and Supervisors. Brethren and sisters, tell me from what I have told you in these statistics, whether the order is dwindling away, or spreading like a green bay tree. Thank God for Savannah's phonemal increase. Oh friends, of progress let us sheathe our weapons of war, let us stack arms, let us cry peace, prosperity, and happiness. Let us cease to fight the order, let us cease to fight ourselves, and soon we shall shout the harvest home in friendship, love and truth. I have been speaking to you of the increase, the phenomenal growth of the order, and the perpetuity thereof. Let me speak to you of the race in fifty year amidst dire oppositions and deadly blows aimed at our most commendable efforts and successes. Hear the valuable epistle of statistics by "Uclee Sam," on condition of Race in 1863.

Oh thank God from whom all blessings flow. Thank Him all creatures here below. Thk Him above ye heavenly host. Thank Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We are living in the Golden Age of opportunities. Brothers, sisters, child grasp them, in this age upon ages telling to be living is sublime. See God revealing Himself again to man in the second dawn. Finally, juveniles of innocence, hope and virtue; Ruth of peace, happiness and prosperity; Odd Fellows of Friendship, Love and Truth: Members of the English House of the Order have vowed to proclaim to the world Odd Fellows great name and you Patriarchy No. 38 of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, and the first of its kind in Georgia, one and all, I happily greet you for the last time on this most august occasion, on this grand and historic spot, in this splendid and magnificent temple of Jehovah, and in the presence of these people of God. Thank God for a Singleton. We fellow Patriarch, with the strong arm, the open hand, and the willing heart, wenne ths endless bond of Brotherhood of the Patriarchy; And may its hand never close, nor its heart ever falter in the path, of duty. But when duty calls its ourey, and by the District Grand Lodge of Georgia and the B, M. C. of America, having been called upon to assemble in some temple the second Sundav in May, and give thanks to Almighty God, who has mercy shown and who has crowned the year with joy and gladness, we are all here. The lovely month of May has been appropriately chosen the Thanksgiving Celebration Period, for the Odd Fellows in America. It was the beautiful month of May that witnessed the joyous return to the ark of safety, by the dove, with the olive branch of peace in its mouth, after that terrific flood, telling Noah our Patron Saint, and the others in the ark, that the once deluged and dead earth was alive once again. That that magnificent life giving sun king of light and heat, which the Noble Grand is a very potent type, the moon the guardian queen of the night, of which the Vice Grand is a most befitting type, and the brilliant dazzling stars, gems of beauty, and sentinels of the sky, of which the supporters are a type, were once again embracing and kissing old Mother Earth, making her to bud and blossom, once more like the Rose of Sharon, and the fruits thereof to grow and to ripen sweet and luctious like those of Lebanon for man's sustenance. There were eight in the ark; Noah and his family, three sons and their wives, and so we have eight in the Odd Fellows Ark of Safety; No 1, Juvenile; No. 2, Ruth; No. 3, Subordinate Lodge; No. 4, English House; No. 5, P.G. M. Council; No 6, Patriachy; No. 7, District Grand Lodge; No. 8, B. M. C. I bow in most respectful obedience to these gigantic magnates of the Order, and I offer to them my time, my labor, my money, my talent, my influence, my family, my heart, my whole life's service in Friendship, Love and Truth. I am in the Order not only for the good I can get out of it; but also for the good I can put into it. Now, let me throw a little stone, but be careful, I have vowed to warn you of danger, or the approach thereof. Be cautious. Don't let anybody dodge, for if you do, this intelligent audience will think you guilty. Listen, there are some in the Order, who feel that the Order is good and high enough for them, but don't think this splendid Ruth good enough for their wives and daughters. Hear me sisters, is your Ruth good enough for your brother's wives and daughters? Brethren, we Sisters of Ruth, are after you, and we are coming, ready or no ready. Look out! And while I see before me so grand and magnificent an array of glittering pins, jewels, regalias, beautiful women and handsome men, I know that there are many passwords, signs, grips and tokens in your possession. But in conclusion, permit me to say: None of these make the true Odd Fellow, the true Naomi, nor Ruth. The true Patriarch. But this I mooch to your praise. You adorn most oceautifully this Grand Old Order made famous by our sainted Peter Ogden. If that heart beneath that pin and regalia throbts beneath that pin and regalia throbts out for your sister or brother "Increasing Affection." "If to you Friendship, Love and Truth are "Precious Jewels," "If loving kindness abounds in your every breast for humanity" in advancing the great cause of justice to mankind everywhere, "If they are gaining victories in the great battle of life and can cry: "Excelsior!" If the cry "Eureka" is not false, you True Odd Felows, True Inmates, and after all our faithful gleaming and reaping here, we shall shout the harvest home, and in the beautiful fields of Eden, in the Paradise of God; we shall clasp glad hands with our Patron Saints, Naom, Ruth, Israel, Jacob, Isaac and Abraham; and weave the endless bond of Friendship Love and Truth, of peace happiness and prosperity, of Innocence, Hope, Virtue, thio' the encircling years of God's blissful eternity. Let us give thanks for this day of golden opportunity. Swords and Scimitars The scimitar of the Saracens was the most effective sword for cutting purposes ever devised. It will be remembered how, according to the story of Sir Walter Scott's "Talisman," with such a weapon the pagan Saladin chopped a soft cushion in two at one blow, to the ammunition of Richard Coeur de Lion. With a straight sword one can make a hack or thrust, to slice an adversary one must saw with it. The scimitar, being curved and wide and heavy toward the end, slices by the mere fact of striking.

WEST Courteney FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.ETRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. SORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] Dwarf Essex rape is usually sown where a maximum torage yield is desired. Rubbing warts that appear on cattle and young stock with pure castor oil several times will rid the animals of the trouble. There is nothing that becomes "secondhand" in a shorter time than a new automobile that has been through a smashup or ditch experience. Chemically, the refuse of acetylene gas plants is about the same as slacked lime, but it is worth about twice as much as the latter for sweetening soil. Stomach worms in sheep may be guarded against by keeping before them in low boxes, where they can get at it handily, a mixture of cheap tobacco and salt. An excellent soiling crop for plowing under is made by sowing a mixture of oats and Canada field peas. If sowed the 1st of May it will be ready to cut about the middle of July. The cement hog wallow, fed by a source of pure water, has much to commend it. By stopping up inlet and outlet the same pool may also be made to serve as a dipping tank. The question of whether it is worth while to have shade in the pasture is pretty clearly indicated by the fact that animals at pasture invariably seek such shelter when hot weather and flies come on. In breaking the colt it is well to have it walk beside an older horse that is a fast walker. While gait is doubtless to some extent a matter of inheritance, it is probably more true that it is a matter of habit. If a cup of moderately strong coffee keeps a grown person as wide awake as an owl when drunk within three or four hours of going to bed, it is pretty safe to assume that it is entirely unfit as a beverage for little children. With horses as high priced as they are, it is mighty poor economy to use a cheap or ill fitting collar that needs a heavy sweat pad or other packing to make it fit. The collar should fit, and its wearing surface should be hard and firm. A nagging man is just as big a nuisance and pest as a nagging woman, and this makes no difference whether he nags his wife and children or nags his team. Both folks and horses get mighty tired of it and would be justified in locking him up or kicking him down. The new parcel post system is being used by a number these days for the shipping of nursery stock. Not only is the charge less than the express, but the new system has this distinct advantage over the old—that the package is delivered at the farmer's place instead of his having to go to town for it. While the first week or two in August are considered the best time for sowing alfalfa in the territory east of the one hundredth meridian, the spring sowing is recommended in all that area usually known as the dry belt, and the best results are had if the tract on which the seed is sowed was summer followed the year before. In Ireland the co-operative idea has taken firm root. Since the beginning of the movement twenty-four years ago it has grown until today there are 995 societies, with a total membership of 97,000. In 1011 the volume of business transacted amounted to about $12,950,107, while the amount of business done since the movement started reaches the total of $136,080,000. If one wishes to keep any of the flowering bulbs for another season, it is well to let them stay in the pots in which they blossomed or in the ground until fall or until the tops are dead and dry. They should then be taken up, dried gradually,-but thoroughly, and be stored where they will keep dry. As a rule, the new bulbs which form on the roots of the tulips will be the larger in size and number if the plant is not allowed to blossom. The two English pens of White Leghorns entered in the Connecticut international egg laying contest still maintain their lead, Thomas Barron's pen having 400 eggs to their credit and Edward Cam's pen having a score of 425 eggs. None of the American pens had reached a score of 400 at the end of the twenty-first week. For the week referred to the 500 hens and pullets entered laid in all 2,339 eggs, which was 66.8 per cent of a possible total. It will be a great day for the great army of boys and girls of the rural schools when their parents and the school directors take as keen an interest in their physical ailments as they do now in heg cholera, black leg' and roup. The Russian thistle, which some years ago was dreaded almost as much as the Canada thistle or quack grass, is not fulfilling the farmer's fears. Experiments which have been conducted along the line of exterminating the weed show that it can be easily killed by frequent tillage. If the earth in which the sweet peas were sown was not as rich as it should have been this condition may be overcome by giving the peas several waterings when they are coming up and afterward with manure water. This will be available at once and will make them rank and thrifty. The other day the writer noted a news item which stated that a farmer had trapped or shot a silver gray fox and hoped to be able to dig out her whelps. This item seems to have been written in ignorance of the fact that the silver gray fox is a sport of nature and not a distinct type which reproduces its kind. There is probably no way in which an adventurer can get rid of more money in a shorter time than by going into the poultry business on a large scale when he has had no experience. Fortunes have been sunk in just this way, but there is always a new batch of suckers who feel sure that they can play the game successfully. To have the supply of sweet corn cover a long eating period it should be planted a row or two at a time at intervals of every ten days. The first planting should be of the early varieties and later the larger kinds. We have found no varieties better than the Golden Bantam. Country Gentleman and Evergreen for early, medium and late varieties. Inasmuch as potatoes have a feeding value when cooked of but one-fifth that of corn, it follows that they make a rather expensive ration if they are worth more than 12 or 15 cents a bushel. For illustration, if corn were worth 60 cents a bushel potatoes would be worth but 12; hence if one could get 15 cents per bushel for the praties it would be better to sell them. A convenient way for handling the little plants of several kinds of garden fruits and vegetables is to set them at the time of the first transplanting in small cans without bottoms or in little boxes made of pasteboard. When the plants are ready to transfer from these the container may be removed and the plant with its vigorous roots set in the open ground. The serum treatment for hog cholera has been tested out so thoroughly that there is now little question that, properly and carefully applied, it provides an effective cure. At present the treatment costs a trifle more than a dollar for a grown hog, but there is reason to believe that the cost of the treatment will be reduced somewhat as the capacity of laboratories producing the serum is increased. There has been more than one lawsuit tried over the question whether a tenant had the right to remove the manure which accumulated on the place during his tenancy. The rule or common law usually followed in the matter is that the tenant has the right to remove such proportion of the manure as the feeds which are bought and consumed on the farm bear to those which were grown on the place. A whole lot of grief for the gardener in the coming weeks may be avoided if he will remember to wrap the stems of the cabbage, tomato and other plants which he sets out in the garden with paper. This will prevent inroads of the cutworm, a pest that for the past two or three years has been most destructive. Putting poisoned sprays of clover or alfalfa along the rows of vegetables in the evening is also a help, as the worms do most of their work in the darkness. Farming experience in the dry country is bringing out some interesting and helpful facts. One of these is that harrowing wheat following rains, even after it has reached a height of twelve to fourteen inches, materially increases the yield. Another is that the scattering of straw at the rate of two tons per acre over the seeding of winter wheat early in December, just after the ground has frozen, has resulted in a yield of twenty to thirty bushels per acre the following season, while tracts where the wheat plants were left exposed to the weather yielded practically nothing. An experiment that was made last year in the village of Miltonvale, Kan., is worth copying by others. Briefly the scheme referred to was a co-operative silo, which was built jointly by six owners of single family cows. These householders, who prized fresh milk, but despaired of getting it without using silage as a ration, hit upon the plan of joining bands in the enterprise. This was carried out, and a silo 12 by 26 feet was built and corn from a nearby field bought to fill it. The backers of the enterprise after one season's experience believe they have solved the feed problem for the dairy cow so far as they are concerned. This year they plan to co-operate in the growing of the corn they need for silage purposes. Why isn't this plan good for other folks? A reader of this department who lives near Springfield, Ill., writes making inquiry as to whether the moon has any influence on crops—that is, whether root crops will do better if planted in the dark of the moon and if those which mature their fruit above ground are planted in the light of the moon. Our friend says that, while most of his neighbors believe to a greater or less extent in these moon signs, he himself does not have much faith in them, considering them as merely a matter of superstition. The writer is willing to confess that his early education may have been neglected, but he has never had a particle of faith in moon signs or long distance weather prophets. He would classify both of them as meteorological fakes. At the same time he realizes that so harsh a classification may offend the feelings of a good many sincere people. The belief in moon signs, if it can be said to have any scientific basis at all, seems to be traceable to the influence or "pull" which the moon has upon the water of the earth's surface, especially as shown in the spring tides, which occur when the moon is full. Again, it may be traced to the supposition that inasmuch as light encourages vegetation moonshine would have some effect on the growth of that portion of plants that appeared above ground. But we are inclined to think that this is mostly moonshine. The fact is the big potato growers of the country pay no attention whatever to the moon or its phases. They plant their seed when they get their land ready and when the season is sufficiently advanced. To satisfy himself first hand on this point we would suggest that our correspondent plant some potatoes, for instance, in both the light and dark of the moon and keep track of the yield next fall. If he notes results that prove anything to him we would be glad to report his findings in these notes. AN EASY THING TO DO. It is not a difficult matter to ascertain what the cows are doing in the way of milk and butter fat production. The first requisite is a small sized Babcock testing outfit, which can be got for $4 or less. While in the making of an absolutely correct test for record purposes it is customary to weigh and test the butter fat content of both milkings each day, for ordinary purposes this is not necessary. If the milk is weighed night and morning one day each month during the milking period it is sufficient. Samples of the milking should be tested for butter fat, directions being furnished with the testing outfit. Multiplying the amount of milk as well as its butter fat content for one day by the number of days in the months gives approximately the production for the month. The same procedure should be followed once each month while the cows are in milk. To get at the cost of the cow's bill of fare one should weigh and estimate the cost of the feed consumed on the day of the test, and multiplying this by the days in the month will give what the feed for the month has cost. Following the same plan for the other months will enable one to ascertain what the feed bill for the year amounts to. With means of making a cow census for oneself as simple as this, there would seem to be no reason for farmers keeping cows around that will not pay for their board. A SENSIBLE BOY. The writer has lately received an inquiry from a young man—a friend—in a large city who would like a position with an intelligent and progressive farmer during the coming summer vacation. Our friend, who is strong and vigorous and willing to work, seemingly feels that, entirely aside from what he may receive in wages, the experience which he will get during the summer, coupled with the wholesome outdoor life, will be well worth while, and we are inclined to take the same view. It would be a godsend to thousands of city lads if they would plan to do just as this young man is expecting to do, and this is especially true of those who are none too robust. The summer's work would give them lame backs and arms, but would also cultivate ravenous appetites and would harden their muscles and tone up their whole system. Besides, it would give them insight into one of the important vocations of life—one, by the way, that is bound to become more and more important as the years go by. POISONOUS AND EDIBLE MUSH- ROOMS. W. W. Robbins of the Colorado Agricultural college in a recent article contributed to an agricultural paper gives some simple directions for detecting edible mushrooms from those that are poisonous. He classes as polsonous mushrooms those that (1) have white gills, (2) that have a ring-on the stem just beneath the cap and (3) that have a cup or scales at the base of the stem. He further says that one may feel perfectly safe in eating any mushroom that has black gills and dissolves with age into an inky mass, though it should be eaten before this change takes place. Among the black gilled mushrooms he includes those with a "shaggy mane," with a more or less bell shaped and creamy white cap and the "inky cap" variety, which grows in dense clusters. The puff balls are also edible if eaten when the flesh is white and solid. J. C. Jupp FASHION HINT We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.
