WORK ON CENTRAL PARK
SCHOOL PROGRESSING
NICELY
Brick Work Completed—Building Occupies Highest Ground
in Central Park—Teachers
Selected—January 5th Opening Day
That work on the Central Park Normal and Industrial school, situated at Central Park five miles one the White Bluff road, has been progressing rapidly may be seen from the fact that the brick work on the central building was completed during the first part of the week and Contractor Welcher of Jacksonville, Fla., who has charge of the erection of the building, feels confident that they will be able to turn the building over for occupancy on the 5th of January.
The new school when completed in entirety, will consist of three buildings, the present structure forming the central building. The style of the building is Colonial and a beautiful pressed brick has been used in its erection. It is four stories with an attic and the rooms are large and supplied with ample window space. On the first floor will be a large dining hull, a kitchen and the heating plant. The second floor will be taken up by the principal's office, a reception room and a large auditorium, which will be used as a class room. The major portion of the third floor will be consumed with class rooms while the remainder together with the entire fourth floor and attic will serve as a dormitory.
The school grounds, in all about twenty-two acres, occupy a very commanding position being, situated on a knoll which towers above the adjoining territory. There is an artesian well on the ground, which furnishes an abundant supply of fresh water. Central Park itself is a subdivision which consists of 850 lots and was offered for sale by the Central Park Land Corporation, with Mr. G. H. Bowen as agent. The land which is owned by the school was given by the corporation on condition that the African Methodist Episcopal church erect a school building thereon.
As selling agent, Mr. Bowen has in about eighteen months succeeded in disposing of all the lots save 100 and indications are that these will have been sold within the next two months.
The opening of the school in January will be quite a relief to the overflow of students at Morris Brown College, Atlanta, the leading educational institution of the denomination in the state and will afford additional facilities to this section.
Several teachers for the school have already been selected and these will be added to as the attendance of the school demands.
Asbury M. E. Church Dots
Last week was anniversary week at Asbury. The forty-second anniversary was celebrated with appropriate exercises. Rev. R. H Singleton, D. D., Rev. D. A. Reid D. D. and Rev. N. H. Whitmire, their choirs and congregations, favored us with their presence and assistance during the week, for which we are very grateful. The celebration terminated last Sunday with excellent services. At 11 a.m. the anniversary sermon was preached by the pastor; Rev. W. V. Daughtry, text Zach 4:6; subject "The spirit the only source of success." At 8 p.m. he preached the rally sermon, after which the financial battle between two armies representing the late Turkish and Bulgarian war, took place and the sum of $200.31 was raised. The Bulgarians having raised the most money took the Turkish flag and both of the crowns. J. W. Tindal, commander of Bulgarians and Mrs. A. G. Bogan were the crown winners. They will be crowned after the communion services to-morrow night. We feel very grateful to those who assisted us in the effort.

VOLUME XXIX
Bright Facts Seen From the Bright Side of a Dark Cloud Editor of Savannah Tribune, Dear Sir: Please allow me a short space in one of the columns of your valuable paper to present some important facts apparently hidden behind a "dark cloud."
I wish to speak of the colored people in the neighborhood of Monteith station, situated on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Augusta public road, about 10 miles from our city; their industries, their school and their churches. From the following bright facts you will perceive that notwithstanding the several dark crimes which have been committed in that neighborhood and published in the two leading dailies of our city, the majority of the colored citizens are industrious and law abiding.
Nearly forty of them own their own homes, valued from $500 to $5000; and a goodly number of them have built fairly comfortable houses to live in. Very few of their homes are mortgaged. They raise vegetables and other crops on their neat little farms. Most of their truck, with their poultry and pork, is sold in the market of our city. They have organized and maintained among themselves a local enterprise and industrial society that pays $2.00 per week for sickness and $50.00 at death. They have had several cases of sickness and death since organized, but have met all of their obligations to their sick and dead members. Some of the leading officers are Deacon Samuel Steele, Deacon Alex Steele and Deacon H. Baldwin. This society has given several successful barbecues and entertainments, but no person or persons were insulted or, injured at any of them.
The two leading Baptist churches in the neighborhood of Monteith are the White Oak Baptist church and the Richmond Branch Baptist church; Rev. A. J. Gaines is pastor of the former and Rev. J. Thomas is pastor of the latter. The following gentlemen have been successful in raising truck and other farm products: MessrsR. Steele, Lawrence Steele, Alex Steele, R. Grayson, Dudley Whitehead, Peter Grant, Major Foy, Gabe Hargrave, Samuel Steele, John Williams, John Gaulphin, and John Capers.
The Monteith Colored school is situated on the Monteith public road about 80 rods west of the station. It is the oldest, the largest and the leading school of this vicinity. It was established by the County Board of Education in 1874. From its organization to the year 1889 the school term was 5 months, but after that date to the present time it has been 6 months. This school was taught by Prof. S. J. Reid for 17 consecutive terms—from November 1st, 1877 to November 1st 1894—when for faithful and meritorious service as a county teacher, he was promoted to the East Broad Street Colored school to be assistant to Prof. J. C. Ross. For the past four summers the colored people at Monteith supported a private summer school under the tutorship of Prof. S. J. Reid, their former teacher. The average attendance of this summer school varied from 40 to 60 pupils.
In the latter part of the summer the people decided to supply their school house with seats and desks and through the great efforts of Prof. Reid they raised nearly forty dollars for the purpose mentioned and other repairs of their buildings. Superintendent of Public Schools Otis Ashmore gave his aid by suggesting the kind of lumber to be purchased and lent his plan of "Home Made Desks," by which the carpenter could build the desks. The school building is owned by the people of the neighborhood. It is a frame building 20 by 30 ft. and 9 1/2 ft. between the joists. This is the third building the people built for school purpose since 1874.
The colored people can now boast of having the only colored school building in the rural districts of Chatham county built and properly furnished by their industry; and they are the only colored people in the country school district that have supported a large "private summer school" for the past four years. The school population is large and the average attendance is about 89. The enrollment for the free school

Guaranty Mutual Held Reception
LARGE CROWDS VISIT NEW OFFICES OF COMPANY
Public and Policy Holders Generously Entertained Last Wednesday Afternoon—Beautiful Cut Flowers Decorated Office—Agents Held Informal Reception at Night
On last Wednesday afternoon from 4 to 7 o'clock the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance Company entertained the public and its policy holders with a very enjoyable reception.
The company has just recently moved into its new quarters at 504 West Broad street and the reception of this week was in a manner to acquaint the public and their patrons with their new location. The acquaintance reception was in every respect much enjoyed by the hundreds who inspected the offices and received the hospitality of the company. The office force supplemented by the agents, acted as ushers and explained in detail the intricacies of an insurance company and saw to it that every visitor was served with refreshments. As souvenirs the attaches presented each visitor with a lead pencil with the name of the company stamped upon it.
The new offices of the company are very commodious and were beautifully decorated with cut flowers.
At night the agents of the company held an informal reception. There were about seventy guests present and the occasion was a most delightful one. Mr. Joseph J. Brown acted in the capacity of toast master and Mr. E. C. Williams made the welcome address. There were several congratulatory speeches made by the guests, which were roundly applauded. Mr. Walter S. Scott, president and manager of the company, who made a few remarks, was referred to highly by all the speakers. The refreshments were very abundantly served and the evening was one of the most memorable in the history of the local Negro insurance companies.
St. Stephen's Church Men's Club Organized.
The organization of the Men's Club of St. Stephen's Episcopal church was perfected on Wednesday night last in the rectory of the church. A large number of the men of the church was present and a very enthusiastic meeting was held. The officers of the club elected were as follows: President. L. M. Campfield; Vice-President, Dr. L. S. Parks; Secretary, Mr. W. J. Shaw; Treasurer, Mr. Jas. R. Davis. The purpose of the club is to help the young men of the church and of the city along all lines. Meetings of the club will be held in the church on every Sunday afternoon from four to five o'clock at which time religious and literary topics will be discussed. The topic for discussion on Sunday, November 2nd, will be the parable of the "Prodigal Son." The club extends a hearty welcome to the young men of the city not only to join in its meetings, but to also become members of the club

Large Crowd at Rev. Jones' Funeral
BODY TAKEN SUNDAY NIGHT TO NORCROSS, GA.
Many Prominent Ministers at Funeral Services—Many Letters and Telegrams of Condolence Read—Floral Designs Beautiful—Representatives of Church Accompanied Body
The funeral services of the late Rev. Willis L. Jones, pastor of the First African Baptist Church, Franklin square, who died Wednesday night at his residence after an illness of about one week, were held on last Sunday from the church.
The services which began at 1:00 o'clock p.m. and concluded at 4:30 were witnessed by a large gathering of members of the church, friends and visiting ministers throughout the city and state. Rev. W. R. Forbes, D.D., of Macon, Ga., president of the State Baptist Missionary Convention, acted as master of ceremonies and made the introductory remarks. The choir sang hymn "China," and the Rev. E. H. Quo read the scripture from the 90th Psalms. "Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep" was then softly sung by the choir and Rev. C. Priester offered prayer.
Deacon J. A. Snyder, acting clerk, read resolutions from the deacon board and church, and also letters and telegrams of condolence from various sections of the country and state. Mr. S. M. Lee, superintendent of the Sunday school, read a paper, also Master Emmett Collier, of the Sunday school. A selection by the choir "Jesus is Mine" was then rendered.
The local ministers' union, of which Rev. William Gray is president, here carried out their programme as follows, with the president as master of ceremonies: Rev. McD. Spencer spoke of Rev. Jones "as a citizen," Rev. Rev. H. Butler spoke of the deceased "as a christian," Rev. E. H. Quo spoke of the deceased "as a preacher," Rev. N. M. Clarke, pastor Beth-Eden Baptist church, spoke of Rev. Jones "as a pastor." A selection by the choir was then sung. Rev. A. L. Hamilton read a paner. Rev J. A. Martin, pastor St. Paul church, spoke of Rev. Jones "as his neighbor." "It is well with my soul" was sung, led by Rev. Forbes, of Macon, Ga.
The state ministers as follows delivered brief but eloquent eulogies of the deceased: Rev. John Williams, D. D. of Brunswick, Ga; Rev. Cyrus Brown, D. D. of Atlanta, Ga; Rev. J. B. Davis, D. D. of Thomasville, Ga., corresponding secretary of the State Baptist Convention; Rev. R. B. Williams of Macon, Ga.; trustee of Central City College; Rev. A. W. Bryant, president of the State B. Y. P. U. Convention and the Rev. W. R. Forbes, D. D. of Macon, Ga., concluded the ceremonies of the ministers with an eloquent address and turned the assembly over to the Independent Order of St. Luke to carry out their form of ceremony.
The deceased was the Degree Chief of the order. After all ceremonies had concluded the body lay in state at the church, watched over by a large gathering of members, who seemed to have not become weary from six o'clock in the morning when the body was brought to the church until 8:15 p.m. when it was carried to the Central depot for shipment to Norcross, Ga. The remains were taken direct to Atlanta, Ga., and by special request funeral services were held over it at Beulah Baptist church, of which he was a member and pastor for nearly twenty years before coming to this city. The floral designs from every department of the church and friends were beautiful. The remains were accompanied by the family and Deacon Lee Gilmore, representing the church. The members of the church were deeply moved at the death of Rey. Jones and several of them accompanied the body to Norcross. A concourse of members and friends waited at the depot, with burdened
Mr. W. J. Harvey, the Tennessee soloist and composer, will appear in Savannah soon. The date will be fixed later.
Mr. Harvey is a well known composer and his productions have made for him a national reputation. A few of his productions are now in the city in the hands of of Miss Nettie Houston, Mrs. M. L. Horne and others.
Mr. Harvey comes highly recommended and to hear him will be a treat. Last week at the Mississippi State Fair he sang his "Mississippi" through invitation of the governor of the state and received a tremendous ovation. He will sing this production here together with his "Tennessee," a highly musical composition.
The occasion will be well worth the time and price. Aided by local talent, it is hoved that the affair will be both p.casant and profitable. Mr. Harvey will appear under the auspices of the "National Alliance of Railway Postal Clerks," a local branch of which exists in this city and of which the following are officers C. H. Anderson, president; M. L. Horne, treasurer; H. S. Chuncy, secretary.
St. Benedicts Church
The month of November is called by the Catholics the month of poor souls, because during this time of the year the Catholic church earnestly exhorts her members to pray for their deceased relatives and friends. It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, II Mach XII 45. November seems naturally to be a sad month; all nature begins to mourn and divest itself of all its beauty and ornaments. The Catholics believe that besides a place of eternal punishment for the wicked and an everlasting rest for the just, there is in the next life, a middle state for those who die in venial sin or have not satisfied for sins forgiven. This doctrine is taught in the Holy Scripture, it was proclaimed unanimously by the fathers of the church. It is embodied in the ancient liturgies of the oriental and western churches. It is above all a doctrine consoling to the human heart. The first day of November we celebrate the feast of all saints in heaven. Masses will be at St. Benedict's church at 6:30 and 8 a.m. Benediction of the most blessed sacrament after last mass. Monday 3d of November will be "All Souls Day." A solemn Requiem Mass will be sung in St. Benedict's church at 8 a.m. The beautiful hymn "Libera me Domine" will be rendered by the choir immediately after mass and Absolution given by the celebrant of mass. A festival will be given for the benefit of St. Benedict's church on the 24th of November in St. St. Mary's Hall on 36th street. It will be the last entertainment held for the church this year and will take place just a week before the opening of Advent. Let us all get together and make it a great success. Don't forget that our Sunday services are held in the mornat 7 a.m., 8 a.m., 10 a.m. The night service is at 8 p.m. At St. Mary's we are having Sunday morning service at 9:30 a.m. on the 2d and 4th Sunday of every month. Our schools are all in a fine shape and all the children seem to be happy and to work well. Parents please continue to send your children very regularly and also please attend a little to their lesson, it will be a great help to the teachers and for the benefit of your dear ones.

The attendance at Sunday school last Sunday was far below the average, some of the children sent a report of being sick. In the afternoon song service took place. On to-morrow the Sunday school will begin practice for the Christmas exercises which will probably be held on the last Sunday night in December. On Monday afternoon the Sunday school expects to celebrate Halloween by a party on the church lawn.

NUMBER 7
REV. J. L. TAYLOR, NEW PASTOR ST. STEPHEN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SELECTED...
Liveliest Meeting in History of Association—Rev. N. H. Whitmire Heads Executive Board—Monster Parade Planned for First of January.
In what was beyond a doubt the most interesting and at the same time most lively meeting in its history, the Emancipation Association met on last Tuesday at noon at Asbury church, Gwinnett street, west, for the purpose of perfecting plans for the coming emancipation celebration on the first day of January.
The meeting was probably the most largely attended in recent years. The local ministry, of course, was well represented and there was a large representation of the leading business and professional men and many laymen present. The most important business which was transacted was the selection of the speaker for the coming exercises. Considerable interest was manifested in this matter and four names were presented to the body. After the nominating speeches had ended, two of the names were withdrawn, leaving two in the field for the place of honor on the program.
The voting on the matter was very spirited and the Rev. Junius L. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, who recently came to the local pulpit from Newbern, N. C., was selected by a comfortable majority. The next important transaction of the association was the selection of the Executive Board. The board is composed of some of the most representative business and professional men of the city and is headed by the Rev. N. H. Whitmire, pastor of Mt. Tabor Baptist church.
The place of holding the exercises was a matter which received much discussion. There were several who were of the opinion they should be held in the open and therefore advocated the park extension, but the opposition to outdoor exercises was in the majority and it was voted down. A committee was appointed to select a building for holding the exercises, the committee to report at the meeting on November 11th, at which time the program committee will also report.
A feature of the demonstration this year, which has never before been attempted by the association, will be the floats representing the various Negro business enterprises of the city. This portion of the celebration was placed in the hands of the local Negro Business League.. While the League has not yet perfected arrangements for its display in the parade, yet it is thought that it will offer several prizes for the best floats and that there will be considerable rivalry among the various business men for the honor of presenting the finest display.
The annual meeting of the stockholders will be held at the office of the company, 488 West Broad street, Monday November 3rd, 1913 at 7:30 p. m All stockholders are urged to be present or send proxies to the President and Secretary.
L. E. Williams, Pres.
R. A. Harper, Sec'y.
The Georgin Conference to Meet
The Georgia Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, colored, will convene at College Park, Ga., on November 5th, at 9 o'clock a.m. M. Rev. J. P. Tisdal, president and J. M. McLasin, secretary, ask that all ministers of the denination in this city attend all sessions of the conference.
Mr. J. M. George of Chattanooga, Tenn., arrived in the city last week on a visit to his brother Mr. H S. George. This is his first visit to this city and he is impressed with us.
Mrs. Catherine S. Blonnt, of Gaeton street, east, left on last Tuesday morning to visit friends in Augusta. She will return home to night.

Among the Masons

gray matter to discover the real
meaning and origin of the word,
“Freemason.” What is of great-

nificance. It should mean an hon-

The great assemblages of Ma-
sons in our country are bringing
closer together our people. In
every State and Territory these
gatherings are binding and cement-
ing friends and brothers closer in-

ings of Masons that come together
from all parts of the country are
doing much toward making our
people understand and that we are
one people and are spreading the
cement of brotherly love and af-
fection that has and will continue
to reunite our country into one
band of friends and brothers.—
Edwin K. Martin, Grand Master

Masonry teaches men to think
less selfishly of themselves - and
more for others; it shows them
why they were sont into tlie world,
and developes inStincts of benevo

FREEMASONRY
Suffering, destitution, want,
helpfess widows and fatherless or-
phans may well awaken compass-
ion within the breast of every one
within whom beats a heart that
can throb responsive to human
agony. Once more, util itsounds
like useless repetition, are we
brought face to face with the great
fact that it is not peculiar to Free-
masonry tg consider the utter
weakness and unreliability of hu-
man affairs—to'realize that human
foresight and sagacity are daily
Set at naught by the remorseless
degrees of fate. When misfor-
tune has come unto the strong
man, striking dismay and coward-
ice, into the brave heart that has
with fearless front so iong with-
stood the brunt of life’s battle, to
hold out the helping hand of relief,
to give some shelter from the
storm, to smooth away the difficul-
ties and enable him once more,
with increased energy and
strength, to renew the conflict, is
a privilege that any trué man
would prize. The reward of hav-
ing done so would be that Sis sou!
would be filled with the sweet mu
sic of gratitude and that conscious-
ness of well doing with which God
requires every good action. If all
this be sohow much more forcibly
does it appeal to us, after the hus-
band has been stricken down,
when the long sickness comes, the
hour of agony, the funeral pall,
and then the agonized mother and:
weeping children, with grim want!
stalking like a specter through the
‘desolate homes Surely it does not
need Freemasonry to direct the
promptings of our hearts in a case
Jike this- “Is there one among us
who would think it necessary to do
all in our power to relieve the un-
fortunate, simply because in so
doing we were obeying the behests

Edgar F. Areston, California,
There are very few Masons who
have any idea or conception what-
over of the significance and_mean-
ing of Masonic Regalia. For in-
instance, the blue collar, with its
seven stars, was borrowed , from
the canopy of Heaven; the blue
representing the azure and the sil-
ver stars, the myriad spangles of
night. But now the collar has
been discarded and we have either
a fantustical jewel hanger or hook,
which has no Masonic significance
whatever. Even white gloves
have been relegated, and yet white
gloves are more essentially the
clothing of a Mason than is the
white aprou. In the early cere-
monies of the fraternity a pair of
white gloves was given the candi-
date to teach him that his acts
Should b2 as pure and spotless as
the gloves presented to him. The
symbolism of the gloves, while but
in .modification of that of the
apron should be worn, together,
anda return to this ancient and
honored custom would be gladly
welcomed.—Illinois Freemason.

uttered by God, when gloom and
darkness hung over his universe.
“God said, let there be light, and
there was light!” Beauty) and
loveliness has hung over all/ that
God has created since. the first
gleam of light was seen, which

EXAMINING VISITORS ‘ .

The greatest care should be ex-
ercised when examining visitors,
and an admittance refused to any
one who is not able to thoroughly
satisfy the board. 1t is better to
refuse admittance to ninety-nine
genuine Masons than to admit one
impostor. If the “rusty” Mason
is not able to prove himself, the
fault lies with him, ‘and he has
only himself to blame.
In Great Britain the first thing
required of the visitoristhe Grand
Lodge certificate, and in many of
the American jurisdictions a simi-
lar partice prevails. It may be a
hardship on a visitor, who has mis-
laid his certificate, to be refused
admittance, but in amatter of such
serious import the security of the
order is the first thing to be con:
sidered, and the present condition:
render it absolutely necessary tha
the strictest safeguards be employ
ed to protect lodges against the in

doing so much to besmirch the fai

| their own base and selfish ends.—

are very proud of the fact that the
greatest woman fn Spantsh Iterature,
'Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda, was
born there. She is regarded, in fact.
as one of the world’s great poets, be-
ing ranked with Sappho and Mrs.
Browning. , A number of statues have
been erected to her memory on the
island, and great preparations are now
being made for the celebration of her
centenary on March 23, 1914,
“One curious difference between Ger-
trudis de Avellaneda and the modern
intellectual woman was that she was
very masculine. In those days a wo-
man had to be # man to do anything.
She couldn't afford to be womanly.”
Chemies Rarely Seen.
‘The old fashioned chemtse, lons

its usefulness, is rarely seen now.
Fashionable women have relegated 1

wrinkles and folds show in the new
tight skirts. Instead of this garment
fashion now decrees that women shal
select a style of Ungerie which adds
‘not a perceptible inch to thelr size. To
be truly smart one’s dress must took as
if it was being worn next the skin. A
thin silk hobble chemise, a faney bust
supporter and a pair of silk knicker
bockers will accomplish this effect.

Cumrox rather testily, “the value of
this picture depends on the signature

Margats Bathing Customs.
Almost as much pomp as attended
the Duchesse de Berri when she took
her dally dip in the sea was displayed
toward the ordinary bather at Mar-
gate a century and a half ago, when
Benjamin Reale, the Quaker, invented
the bathing mactifne. According to an
old guidebook, tre company desiring to
bathe assembled at the bathing rooms
in the High street, where they waited
their turns. When a machine was va-
cant a bell rang. and an attendant
solemnly comducted the bather to the
seashore, watched him while in the
water and brought him back to his ad-
miring friends. The charge for half
an kour’s dip, including the “guide,”
was 4s, 34—London Globe.
The Alternative.
A Frenchman applied to a local offi-
cial for a passport to visit Klatter-
wingschen, in Switzerland. The func-
tcnary, who was not a fellow of any
geocrapkical society, studied in vain
‘with the spelling of the place’s name.
Then, unwilling to confess his difficul-
ty, Ge KMand?y asked, “Would you as

So far as we know, the Duke of North-

dogs to “set” birds. but it was not till
the beginning of the nineteenth cen-

Saturday, November 1st. 1913.
The Georgia Baptist showed its old time mettle in observing its anniversary by publishing a special edition which was replete with timely articles from many men of prominence. Mr. W. J. White is surely the son of his father and is giving his patrons a paper of which they can justly be proud.
Recently the Democrats have enacted into law their free trade tariff bill. They were loud in the promise that it will reduce the cost of living. Savannah has had a practical demonstration of this reduction. Milk that has been selling for ten and twelve cents a quart has been increased to thirteen cents.
We are badly in need of more business enterprises. We do not mean more of the existing ones. Because apparent success is shown by the conducting of certain lines of business, some of our men have a proneness to engage in the same. This much should be discouraged. Our men of means and business ability should get together and encourage the establishment of a furniture store, a shoe store, a clothing store, etc. These lines are opened and each would prove profitable. By all means let us diversify our lines of business.
The Atlanta Post is a recent addition to the newspaper family of of the state. It is a six column folio, full of useful information. It is edited and managed by experienced men and shows evidence of growth and influence. Atlanta, the capital city of the Empire state, needs a broad gauged journal that will be the mouth piece of all the people and in the columns of which all the people can have access. The Tribune extends to its young contemporary the glad hand, with the hope that it will grow along every line for good.
In public gatherings and when questions for the good of all the people are considered denominational lines should be abolished. It shows narrowness and proves one to be of small mind who would advocate denominational lines in such meetings. Every professed Christian should be loyal to whatever denomination with which he is identified and should labor earnestly in its behalf, but when it comes to public affairs, if he is broad minded, and intelligent he would throw denominational lines to the winds and act only for all the people. This is a useful lesson that would greatly benefit a certain number of our ministers.

It is left with our women of the state to make a demand upon the the state railroad commission for better accommodation on the rail road trains of the state. The demand was made by the state Federation Colored Women's clubs and it is a just one. Our people pay the same fare as does any other class and yet receive more inferior accommodation in every respect. The complaints submitted by the ladies are as follows.
"First The partitioned coach, one half of which is a smoker for the white men, has a middle door which is kept open, and we are practically in a smoker
"Second. Convicts and crazy people always occupy this coach which is humiliating to our best people.
"Third. The porter sweeps and dusts all along scattering millions of disease germs.
"Fourth. The 'newsbutcher' or the conductor one invariably occupies the only double seat in the coach which often a mother and little ones might otherwise use.
"Fifth. There is but one lavatory in our coach. (a few exceptions.)
Now that January first, next, is near at hand and suitable preparations are being made for a mammoth celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro and his progress during his years, of freedom, it is sincerely hoped that the most whole souled cooperation and harmony will prevail among the members of the committee of arrangements and the citizens of the com-
munity in the effort to make the celebration a great success. As the time approaches for the celebration all differences that may have existed among the members of the Emancipation Association as to arrangements, speakers etc., should be forgotten and every effort put forth by all to make the coming celebration the greatest locally in the history of our people. Every colored business, every officer of benevolent, civic and social club and society should begin now to make preparation for their hearty participation in the coming celebration. We would like to see floats representing our banks, drug store, printing offices, dry goods stores and other business places in line on January 1st, next. We would like to see one hundred different societies and lodges represented by marching bodies of twenty five or more men each on our next natal day. A procession not less than two miles in length should be the order of the day. We sincerely trust that those who will have the arrangements of the coming celebration in hand will appreciate the magnitude of the trusts reposed in them and work like beavers to make the celebration a success in every way. In the meanwhile every true and loyal member of the race should see to it that nothing that he can do to make the coming celebration a success will be left undone. Let us all pull for the greatest first of January celebration in our history.
That there is a determined and well directed effort on the part of certain members and friends of the race to fight the segregation policies now in vogue in several of the governmental departments at Washington and to make President Wilson and his reputed chief segregation lieutenants, Secretaries Burleton and McAdoo, show their hands in regard to the same, is attested by the many open letters now being written to the chief magistrate and the numerous protests that are now being filed with him. Chief among the individuals and agencies now hard at work to bring about a more healthy and friendly sentiment in national administrative circles toward the Negro are Oswald Garrison Villiard, editor of the New York Evening Post, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, The National Association for the Advancement of the Colord People, The National Council of Congregational churches recently convened in Kansas City, Mo., and others. No one who has noted the recent trend of sentiment in national administrative circles in regard to the Negro, will hesitate for a moment, to admit that the time is ripe for some concerted action to be taken by the members and friends of the race against the discriminatory tactics now being practiced in certain governmental departments against our people. That there are certain high handed segregation rules, designed solely and purposely for the Negro, in certain of the departments at Washington, has been known to us for some time. The reason why our people, of all others, should be picked out and made the target of race spleen and discrimination, by the government to which they have always been loyal, has never been made clear us. From the very beginning of the American government, the Negro has been a part and parcel of it. In every conquest in which the American government has engaged itself, history will show that our people have been a part. In her conquests of war, both on native and foreign lands, we have been contributing our full share to the triumph and vindication of the American cause. In her conquests of peace, resulting in marked progress in arts, science and government, our people have been found both dutiful and helpful. History records no instance when a traitor has been found in black skin. Our people have held positions of responsibility in both the national and state governments, yet there has never been need or occasion for impeachment proceedings to be instituted against one of them. Figuratively speaking, we have breathed loyalty in every breath that we have taken. We have been faithful to every trust reposed in us. For two hundred and fifty years, the unrequited toil of our forefathers helped to rear the foundational timbers of this great nation. During the past fifty years, as freedmen and the sons of freedmen, we have been a constructive force in the development and growth of the nation. Laboring, as we have, for the welfare of the
American government, we have grown to love it. Once its ward, we are now a part of it. Ten million of us are on American soil. We live and, die for America. To her we give our entire strength; for her we conserve our utmost energy. We contribute to her prosperity. We ought to have her protection and a share in her government. This, we have merited. This, we deserve. To cast us aside as if we were leprous: to exile us on our own soil, is not only un-Christian but un-American as well. We have appealed to the powers that be for aid and succor against the spread of race hatred, mob law and discriminatory practices of one kind and another, but to little if any, avail. It is indeed apparent that the time has come when pressure must be brought to bear upon the powers that be in order that our rights and privileges may be safeguarded from future depredation. In the words of Patrick Henry, "We must fight." The time is at hand when such a course is absolutely necessary. To sit by supinely at this time and say and do nothing in the interest of ourselves, is to act most cowardly indeed. The time is at hand when we must fight for ourselves. Shall we do it? Our leaders say that we must. Meanwhile President Wilson has set apart Nov. 6th as the day to hear protests from our people against the present segregation policies for which his administration is sponsor. To those who will represent us on the occasion, we wish to say that our hopes, our prayers are all with them.
Parliamentary Usage.
"We were recently invited to a meeting which was called for a very serious purpose for race advancement. The meeting held about three hours; about two and a half hours of that time was taken up in parliamentary points. There were points of order, privilege and high privilege; there were motions to amend, to substitute, to lay on the table; there were all sorts of cross firing. Nearly every man in the house made one speech and some two, three and four speeches. The chairman's gavel was continually hammering, and at the end of about two and a half hours, the motion had been made and carried through which provided for a permanent chairman. The men were so exhausted that after the election of the secretary and other minor officers, which took another half hour, they adjourned for a short recess.
"We did not attend the meeting after the recess and cannot tell what happened, but this is a fair sample of many of the meetings which are intended for good of our people and which never do anything because the one main object is lost in the discussions of parliamentary procedure. But often it shows ambition on the part of one man to show what a great parliamentarian he is, and more than once the main issue is lost thereby."
The above was taken from one of our exchanges, and it aptly illustrates a recent public meeting held here. More comment is unnecessary.
School Opens
Mrs. J. H. Patterson and E. A. Caffey will open a Kindergarten, Primary and Grammar school at Morse's Hall, on Wednesday, October 1st. There will be classes in plain sewing, dress making and music. There will also be night school three nights each week. Apply at Mrs. J. H. Patterson's residence, 912 Atlantic Avenue.
Deaths .
The many friends of Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Harrison will regret to learn of the death of their little daughter, Alma, who departed this life Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at their residence 1503 Vine street. She attended the East Broad street school, was nine years of age and in fourth grade. She was a brilliant and smart child, loved by all who knew her and leaves a host of friends and schoolmates who escorted her little body to the Asbury M. E. church and also to the cemetery. She isn't dead, but is asleep in the the arms of Jesus. It is our loss but heaven's gain. Sleep on, little sister, sleep on, we love, you well but Jesus loves you best. She leaves, to mourn her death, a mother and father, Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Harrison; sisters, Mrs. Mary L. Lovet and Miss Edua Harrison; brother, Benjamin Harrison.
Mrs. Luey Gadsden died Wednesday about mid-night at the residence of her son, Prof. R. W. Gadsden, Principal of the East Broad Street School, 608 West 36th street. Mrs. Gadsden was 71 years old and had been ill only three days prior to her death. She was born in Edgefield, S. C., and came to this city many years ago. She is survived by two sons, one daughter, Mrs. Emma DeRoach, four sisters, two brothers and several grandchildren, among whom is Dr. A. D. Butler of Evanston, Ill. She was one of the oldest members of St. Philip Monumental Church from which the funeral will take place this (Saturday) afternoon at 3:30 o'clock.
Hat With a Scarf.
OF CHIFFON EDGED WITH OSTERICL
Now that women are wearing frocks cut so low at the neck for every occasion both indoors and out the scarf for protection against the wintry winds is almost a necessity with street costumes. Of course, milady envelopes her pretty throat in handsome furs, but at church, the matinee and the like, there are apt to be drafts, so one ingenious couturier has sent along with his chic little hat a scarf of chiffon edged with ostrich. These scarfs, in addition to protection, are very smart and stylish.
Housekeeping Tips.
If after scrubbing out the cupboard it is then sprinkled with water in which tobacco has been steeped and then with a little spirits of camphor moths will never appear.
To cleanse a frying pan which smells of onions or fish fill the pan with water and when it bolls drop in a red hot cinder. Afterward rinse and wash in the usual way.
When making pies in a hot kitchen fill a bottle with ice water and use it for a rolling pin. The pastry will be delicate and flaky. A long, smooth, round bottle should, of course, be chosen.
Three tablespoonfuls of baking soda in a quart of water applied with a rough cloth will remove the old varnish very easily when you wish to revarnish furniture.
The All Important Tango Frock. When once speaks of dance frocks this season the model designed to tango immediately suggests itself. Such a hold have the Argentine dances upon the terpsichorean public that, to dance is to turkey trot, fish walks, etc. Naturally these strenuous efforts require a frock which gives perfect free

dom to the body. Therefore corsets are abandoned for the girdle by dancing votaries, low heeled or no heeled footwear replaces the French dancing slipper, and the frock must be silt at the sides to make the "dip" possible.
The dancing gown pictured is a charming affair in which to tango gracefully. Several shades of yellow, toning from a pale lemon to almost a flame color, are artistically combined in its construction.

F. B. B. Church
On Sunday morning, the services were conducted by Rev. Walker. He read for the lesson Psalm 16th. His text was from Roman 6:4. The subject was "David rejoices in the coming resurrection." He presented many helpful lessons. The choir sang "Yes he understands." The baptismal services were conducted by Rev. Wright. In the afternoon there was a large attendance at communion. At night there was a large attendance. The honored guest was the Ladies' Auxiliary Branch No. 1. Rev. Wright heartily welcomed them. He read for the lesson Psalm 77. Rev. Forbes of Macon, Ga., pastor of Tremont Temple was present. He preached an excellent sermon from Ps. 126:3. The subject was "The true work of God." We were pleased to hear him. The society donated liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. Our services are always beneficial. Come at any time.
St. Paul C. M. E.
Although last Sunday marked the closing of the great fall rally, and was a high day, financially, the services were dominated by the Holy Spirit from on high. Through the efforts of the pastor it was the pleasure of the congregation to be addressed by two distinguished Presbyterian ministers, who were in attendance to the Presbyterian synod. At the morning service, the Rev. T. A. Thompson of Gaffney, S. C., preached a soul-stirring sermon, on the subject "One Faith, one God, one Baptism." The evening services began promptly and while the fire of the morning service was still burning it was reinforced with the gospel fire that came from the Rev. C. J. Baker of Waterboro, S. C. who used the word of God, Romans 8:39, subject "Who can separate us from the love of God," The rally was a success and some of the captains are so elated until they are still working. Usual services to-morrow. Communion 8 p. m. Members are expected to attend and remember that this is pastor's day, the Rev. J. A. Martin who has worked so faithfully and untiringly for the success of the church. A cordial welcome to public at large.
St. Philip Church
Endowment day at St. Philips Church Sunday was a busy day from early morning to late evening. At 11 a. m., St. Philip was honored by having five prominent ministers from the Atlantic Synod, which was in session at the Butler Presbyterian Church. Rev. C. H. Uggams of Chester, S. C., preached at 11 a. m. The discourse was listened to with great interest. Mrs. Louisa Love, the wife of Rev. W. W. Love, was buried from St. Philip on Sunday at 3 p. m. Mrs. Love bore her affliction for a number of months but died triumphant in the faith. The Sunday school had their exercise by the small children at 3 p. m.; the adult class at 8:30 p. m. Our members must keep in mind that their dollar money is now due and must be paid. In a few more weeks the Georgia conference will be in session. The second Sunday in November is pledge day. The following services will be held on to-morrow (Sunday:) prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m., preaching, baptism of children and adults at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 3 p. m., communion at 4 p. m., A. C. E. League at 7 p. m., preaching at 8:15 p. m. Endowment day last Sunday at St. Philip was a success by the Sunday school. Nothwithstanding the exercises by the primary
and intermediate department were short, they were better and more enjoyable than was expected. The program rendered at the evening service by the senior department was all that could be desired. More than $100.00 will have been raised when all reports are in. We shall give next week's publication of The Tribune a full report from the 26 classes of the school and also the 46 classes of the church. Quite a number of visitors were present. The names of some of them follow with the amount contributed: Mr. J. H. Johnson, .50c; Mr. Sam Thomas. .25c; Mr. E. S. Gardner, .25c; Miss E. Elders, .25c; Mr. McCray, .25c; Mrs. Fannie, Parks, .25c; Mr. James Parks, .25c; Mrs. Lula Lufner .25c.
In Memoriam
In loving remembrance of son and brother,
PROF. PETER J. JOHNSON
who departed this life Oct. 73, 1908.
Dear son, how we miss you
Since you have gone away;
It has been five years ago
Though it seems but yesterday.
Gone but not forgotten,
We still love you dear,
And even though your voice is stilled
We feel that you are near.
It fills our brests with sadness,
To see your vacant place,
We long to hear the voice we loved,
And see thy dear sweet face.
Loving mother, Mrs. Josephine Barnes,
Savannah, Ca.
Sister,
Mrs. Chas. E. Stevens,
Chicago, Ill.
In sad and loving remembrance of my dear wife.
JOSEPHINE ALEXANDER.
Who passed to her everlasting rest on the morning of the 27th, of November 1912.
All is dark within our home,
And lonely are our hearts today.
For the one we love so dearly,
Has forever passed away.
She suffered and murmured not,
Though far away she is not forgotten.
The Lord doeth all things for the best,
And taketh her home from us to rest.
Safe upon the heavenly shore,
Done with praise forevermore.
When the shadows' length ended,
And the morning came and the busy world was hushed.
And the fever of life was over,
And her work on earth was done.
On the calm and quiet rest,
On her loving Savior's breast,
Perfect peace supremely blest
Safe forevermore.
Storms shall never reach her there,
In that heavenly mansion fair.
From the wells of our hearts,
Arise teers of regrets.
Though she sleeps beneath the sod,
I can never forget.
But when we cross death's dark river
And reach that bright and happy land,
Our loved ones will greet us,
And welcome us over.
C. W. Alexander, husband,
C. W. Alexander, Jr , son,
Albertha Alexander,

A Real Detective Story.
The trunk of a woman's body was found on the banks of the Hudson River. The woman had been murdered. Her identity was unguessed. The sole clue to the crime was a pillow case wrapping with peculiar markings. The mystery, baffling to the extreme, was solved through clever detective work. The detective in question was Inspector Joseph A. Faurot of the New York Police Department. His story will be told graphically in the 24-Page Illustrated Magazine of next Sunday's New York World. Miss this great story and you will miss much.

Homestead Park Lots for Colored People
HOMESTEAD PARK, located at Sandfly Station, offers a most excellent opportunity for colored people, both men and women, to acquire a larger lot at a most reasonable price. The streets are all nicely graded. Many houses have been built during the past year and a large artesian well is being put down to give an adequate supply of good drinking water, just the same as now had in the city.
The lots are priced from $25.00 up; and four lots can be had from one-third to one-fourth the price of other lots asked for in the city.
A larger plot of ground gives an opportunity for a garden and chicken raising, all of which reduces the cost of living to the working man.
Agents will find this a good proposition as liberal commissions are paid.

Meat Versus Song.
The great tenor's lunch consisted of a cheese omelet, asparagus, fruit and an ice.
"No meat?" said the reporter.
"As little meat as possible," the tenor replied. "Meat kills song. The nightingale, the thrush and lark are grain eaters, and their song is sweet. The carnivorous birds, the crow, etc. only croak. And in countries that go in for excessive meat eating—England, for instance—there are few good voices, while in the more vegetarian countries, such as Italy, fine singers abound. Song birds are vegetarian," he concluded. "Carnivorous birds croak."—New York Press.

Investigations that have been carried on by the department of agriculture at Washington show that the small bats, of which there are several varieties, should be protected in every way possible, as they do no injury, but, on the contrary, are voracious consumers of mosquitoes and other harmful insects.
All indications point to higher priced meat by another summer than ever has been known in this country before in times of peace. Both pork and beef will be high because the grain and other feed required to make it will be high. Even the yellow legged rooster and the old tom turkey will be roosting high.
It is usually the boy who has loafed around a good share of the summer rather than the one who has been doing some useful work and developing habits of industry and application that is the larger problem for the schoolteacher. The fact is one that parents should realize in a much larger measure than they do.
It is a maxim generally held by horsemen that a horse is as good as its feet. This is not mere sentiment, but is based on the fact that for either driving or pulling a horse's usefulness varies directly with the soundness and strength of its hoofs. Because of this fact in purchasing a horse, as well as in the choice of a sire for the colts one wishes to raise, too much emphasis can hardly be placed upon excellence in the respect mentioned.
After a careful investigation covering a period of several years Professor Shepard of the South Dakota experiment station has found that sugar beets can be made to return an income of from $100 to $125 an acre in South Dakota when careful methods are followed. He believes that there is no ordinary farm crop that has the cash value of a crop of sugar beets, while they have been found very valuable for feeding purposes as compared with other crops.
At many state and district fairs this year prizes have been offered for the most perfect baby boys and girls, the judges taking into account the points listed by the National Child Welfare association. This is a wholesome tendency, but the writer has an idea that more disappointment is felt by mothers whose children are entered for these prizes and do not get a place than do stock raisers whose animals do not win ribbons in the classes in which they are entered.
The following is the method by which one busy woman gets results with the calla lily: During the summer she has her callas in the garden border, where they receive the same care as do her vegetables. In September she pots them in good sized, pots, allowing an inch of stones for drainage and using good, rich potting soil. When the new growth appears in December she places the pot in a crock and four or five times a week pours into the crock a quart of almost boiling water. She reports that her plants often bear four or five blossoms at a time.
Scores of farmers who stored their corn crop or that part of it which their limited crib supply would not accommodate in slat cribs in the open lost enough by so doing, on the basis of corn at present prices—between 65 and 50 cents a bushel—to have built the cribs in which this corn might have been stored. This seems a wanton waste for which little excuse can be offered. Thousands of bushels of corn thus stored not only will not fetch 10 cents a bushel to ship, but is worse than nothing at all if stock is compelled to eat it, as it is unwholesome and wholly unfit for food. In scores of such cases the precaution was not even taken of giving the slat crib a thatch of stalks or straw.
Every mother and schoolteacher should point out to the children now the poison ivy, which will soon be dressed in regal red and orange colors and will be most tempting to gather for decorative purposes, in case the child does not know of its poisonous nature. Briefly, the poison ivy can be readily identified from the fact that it has three leaves instead of five, as does the Virginia creeper, which usually turns to a much deeper red. A further point of distinction is that the edges of the poison ivy are relatively smooth, while the edge of the creeper leaf is more or less jagged, and still another is that poison ivy produces small, whitish colored berries, while the berries of the latter are purple and about the size of a wild grape, but more scattered on the stem.
A friend who says that one of his trees, forty years old, that bears a much prized apple is sick unto death asks how he can perpetuate the variety. It may be that this apple (the variety of which he has not yet had identified) may be got of a nearby nursery, in which case young trees may be set next spring. If they cannot be got from this source the variety may be propagated by cutting sclons from this year's growth after the leaves have fallen, cutting them into lengths of five or six inches, tying in a little bundle and placing in moist sand in a box in the cellar. If the winter weather should not further impair the vitality of the tree the sclons may be cut in the spring any time before the buds start. In any event, the sclons should be grafted on to hardy stocks, such as the Hilbernal or Virginia crab, care being taken after the job is done to remove all shoots that appear below the point of union.

In many sections the apple scab is worse this year than it has been for several years.

It is a debatable question whether in the end the housewife gains anything when she hurries with her work unduly so that she may have more time to rest.
The sooner now that the hens and roosters are disposed of that one does not plan to keep during the coming winter the better off the chicken account will be.
Missouri farmers are naturally feeling good over the biggest wheat crop ever raised in the history of the state —estimated at 40,000,000 bushels as against 22,000,000 bushels last year.
During 1912 Oregon produced dairy products worth $19,304,384. Notwithstanding this large output, the state consumed thirty-five carloads of imported butter and fifteen carloads of imported cheese.
Water at a temperature of 150 degrees is recommended as an easy method of getting rid of the cabbage worms. It is hot enough to fix the worms, but at the temperature named does not hurt the cabbages.

There is something seriously and fundamentally wrong with the system of agriculture being followed under which the farm gets poorer and poorer from year to year and less productive in the staple crops.
The highest peak on Mount McKinley, in Alaska, was successfully scaled early in June by a party headed by an Episcopallian frontier missionary. Instruments taken with them showed an altitude of 22,500 feet.
If there is one person in the world more than another that shows both a lack of good breeding and good sense it is the one who thoughtlessly ties a horse to a shade tree and thus lets it gnaw and mutilate the bark.
A good one is told on a farmer who shortly after buying a high priced touring car lost control of it on the street one day and, seeing it headed for a post at the side of the road and not knowing just how to avert a collision with it, yelled. "Whoa, there—whoa!"
While the stuff that the junk men of the country collect is not considered of especial value, yet in the one item of secondary metals, which do not include gold, silver, platinum or aluminium, the total value of metals collected annually amounts to more than $77,000,000.
There is no way of cooking an old hen or rooster that gives as good results as starting it in a kettle on the stove for about half an hour and then letting it steam and simmer in a fireless cooker. To give best results this process should be repeated before the chicken is served.
An English lady, Mrs. James of Covent Garden, London, has a practical monopoly in the matter of furnishing watercress to the hotels and restaurants of London, and she is considered worth $400,000. Years ago this woman started in the business of selling watercress by marketing two basket-fuls.
About the most satisfaction in the line of weed destruction, that the writer knows of is that got from running a sharp spade through the root of a lusty burdock in its second year that has made large plans for bur and seed production. If the jab is made well below the crown the job will not need doing a second time.
In these days of exhausting of soil fertility it is worth while following the plan of the old time eastern farmer who used to gather up the fresh ashes after he had been burning brush and put a small quantity on each hill of corn. The potash in the fresh ashes was dissolved by the next rain, and the corn shortly showed ranker and greener as a result.
In case the bark gets knocked off one of the shade trees that which is ragged and separated from the wood beneath should be trimmed away with a sharp knife or ax and the wound given a couple of coats of white lead. Later in the season if more of the bark around the wound shows dead it should be trimmed away, so that it will not furnish a harbor for dampness and insects.

That section is bound to prosper in which the number of silos used is increasing and the number of dairy cows increasing and their quality being improved.
Nine times out of ten the pupil who causes most trouble in school is the one that runs wild at home—that is, has not been brought up to have a proper regard for parental authority and discipline.
It is fair to assume that any boy who prefers to stay at home and cultivate corn when there is a circus in town is cut out for a farmer and that it would be injudicious to coax him into taking up any other vocation.
Every farm should have its patch of eye. This will not only furnish good late fall and early spring pasture for the hogs and cattle, but if plowed under in the spring will furnish a humus of which most soils are much in need.
Onions, potatoes and other root crops keep best in cellars in which the temperature is a few degrees above the freezing-point. Squashes and cucumbers, however, will keep longer if they are put where it is dry and ruther warm, a condition which is usually found in the pantry.
For the northern portion of the corn belt, where it is nip and tuck to mature a crop between spring and fall frosts, it is an important point to select for seed ears those that are low growing and early muring. This means that the succeeding crop will be of this general character.
Cowhorn turnips are not only valuable when plowed under as a green manure, but they bore down deep into the soil and tend to make it loose and friable. Furthermore, they make use of potash and phosphoric acid, which other plants cannot utilize, and thus their decay is useful to the soil.
In estimating the returns from any given prospective enterprise it is well to cut the highest estimate in two. In this case the actual results will often exceed the more moderate expectations and satisfaction be felt, while if the returns are considerably less than the higher estimate there is sure to be disappointment.
The president of an electric company who lives near Libertyville, Ill., had on exhibition this year at the Lake county fair a display of vegetables that he had grown with the aid of electrical currents, which were sent through the soil by wires strung at intervals. The vegetables that are produced with this electrical stimulus are remarkably large and thrifty.
Some pretty good authorities on corn hold that the fact that an ear is not covered clear to the tip with kernels is no reason for discarding it for seed purposes, their contention being that the plant started out to produce a larger and more vigorous ear of corn than the soil and weather conditions prevailing permitted. This idea is not in accordance, with the advice usually given as to selecting for seed ears only those that are filled with kernels to and over the tip, but there seems to be some reason in it nevertheless.
The "miracle" wheat, about which a good deal appeared in the papers a couple of years ago, is said by some who have been investigating the matter to have come originally from Egypt, it being taken from that country to Russia and thence to Alaska, whence it was brought to this country. One Oregon farmer who has been giving this wheat a test reports a yield of eighty-four bushels per acre, but he attributes this yield more largely to the character of the soil in which it was grown and the special care given it than any factor savoring of the miraculous. In this case the wheat was many headed and grew to a height of about five feet.
Many farmers make the mistake of moving to town in their advanced years when they have accumulated a sufficient competence to guard them against the demands of the rainy day. Too often this move is accompanied by a radical change from much to practically no physical exercise, which has in many cases disastrous physical results. Added to this is the further fact that many such farmers, not realizing the cost of privileges which the town affords, are against any improvements which increase their taxes and, as a result of this acquire a reputation of being fossils and tightwads because they do not like to see their taxes increase. On the farm, there is usually something which the retired farmer will think needs doing, and in the doing of it he will be the better physically and in every other way.
"I tell you, the closing, of the Steenth National was a mighty close call for me."
"How was that?"
"Why, a friend had advised me to put my money in it and"—
"And you took his advice?"
"No, but I would if I'd had any money."—Philadelphia Ledger.
Aeroplane Poison.
He was a wag and was a spectator at an aeroplane contest.
"That's a terrible poison that's been discovered." he remarked amiably to no one in particular.
"What's it called?" inquired an elderly gentleman beside him. \
"Why, aeroplane poison, of course!" came the curt reply.
"Is it deadly?" asked the E. G.
"I should say so!" jerked out the juvenile wag.
"And how much would kill a person?" went on the questioning one.!
"Oh, one drop!" came the retort.
Then that particular group became the less by one—New York Globe.
FULL LIVES.
The shortness of life is bound up with its fullness. It is to him who is most active, always thinking, feeling, working, caring for people and for things, that life seems short. Strip a life empty and it will seem long enough. -Phillips Brooks.

Old World Canals.
China has led the world in the matter of canal making, and to this day stands first among the nations for the skillful utilization of her inland waterways. One great canal maintains communication between Peking and Canton, a distance of 1,200 miles, and the total extent of the canals of China is over 5,000 miles. Russia owns the longest canal in the world, extending from St. Petersburg to the Chinese frontier, a distance of 4,472 miles, and also the second longest, covering 1,434 miles, between Astrakhan and St. Petersburg. As regards numbers of separate canals, Holland claims precedence, but her total mileage of inland waterways is only 930 miles.
Spurgeon's Long Sleep.
Among modern preachers Spurgeon held the record not only for the greatest number of sermons, but also for the largest audiences. On the national fast day, Oct. 7, 1857, he preached in the central transept of the Crystal palace, London, to a congregation of 25,000, and was clearly heard by all. The physical effort involved, however, had a curious effect on the preacher. "I was not conscious at the close of the service of any extraordinary exhaustion," he wrote in his autobiography, "yet I must have been very weary, for after I went to sleep on that Wednesday night I did not waken until Friday morning, sleeping right through Thursday."
Virginia Was Fifth Kingdom:
Virginia is known as the Old Dominion because it was sometimes recognized as a separate dominion. Spenser, in 1590, dedicated his "Faerie Queene" to Elizabeth, Queen of England, France, Ireland and Virginia. When James VI. of Scotland came to the English throne, Scotland was added, and Virginia was called in compliment the fifth kingdom. And as Virginia stood firm for Charles II., after the execution of his father, Charles, in gratitude, caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Scotland and Ireland as an independent member of the kingdom.-Kansas City Star.
Boredom of Perfection.
"Well, what was Frau Roth's afternoon like yesterday?"
"The tea was good; the cakes delicious; the tablecloths exquisite—in a word, it bored me to tears."—Fliegende Blatter.
ADOLESCENT TYPE.
Paris Now Creates a
New Phase of Gown.
A Parisian chronicler of fashion has dubbed the present sartorial mood of the City of Light "la mode adolescente." Surely this is a very apt description of the costumes being sent over from the other side of the pond. There is a languor and abandon about the lines that suggests the soft, pliant, yielding figure of the adolescent, and in no costume of the season is this phase of the mode more apparent than in afternoon frocks.
This costume is the backbone of every well dressed woman's wardrobe. It meets so many varied engagements of the day. It is charming for an afternoon bridge, for luncheon and for the club meeting or for formal calling. Illustrated is a delightful example of the daytime gown, carried out in black moire. The striking feature of this model is the machine stitching done in white thread which outlines the bodice, producing a brocaded effect. This is the last cry in applied designs.
Ears Are Fashionable.
Ears are coming into fashion again. The hair, which for some time past women have worn low with bandeaux, is now brushed back from the face, leaving ears clearly revealed. Earrings are consequently in great favor, the latest thing being large tortise shell rings or huge drops adorned with bells of gold. The tiny hat is also modified. It now grips the head under the ears and has three decks, the top one consisting of a mass of supple velvet folded. The tendency is toward the tallest headgear.
Shine on the Serge Office Skirt.
Shine on the Serge Office Skirt.
For the business woman who each day presides at a desk and uses a smooth faced office chair, and who soon finds her serge skirt getting that inevitable "shiny look," which sponging and pressing never quite eradicate, there is nothing better than this simple advice:
Always keep on the chair seat a covering of thin, rough leather. This leather seat against the cane or wood will prevent all friction when turning or getting up and down, and the skirt will keep its original finish until worn out.
He—The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Don't forget that. She—Then you come in and rule the world awhile. I'm tired.—Woman's Journal.
IN FASHION'S MART.
The tailored suit is indispensable to the well ordered wardrobe. Small hats of black velvet are trimmed with lustrous moire ribbon. Draped turbans have returned, and they are more ornamental than ever.
Children's frocks have extremely short bodices sashed with wide ribbon. Beautiful shoulder scarfs are made of brocaded velvet, bordered with fur. If it has a vest and is cut away in front the mannish suit will pass muster. The combination of white cloth and silk combined with dark fur is still good. Medici collars of sheerest lace or tulle are bordered with narrow bands of fur. Sashes, scarfs, belts and bags are more than ever in the limelight of fashion.
A charming combination is the Dresden silk frock with changeable taffeta jacket.
Way to Cook Steak.
The man of the family are sure to declare in favor of beefsteak when asked what they would like for dinner. This popularity never seems to wane, and the average man if served with steak and potatoes will leave the table carrying with him the impression of a good dinner. The choice cuts of steak are often expensive, so the clever cook has discovered a way of cooking ordinary cuts that makes them the equal or even the superior of the expensive meats. A dinner menu with steak is

Any favorite soup may be used for the first course if cream of pea is not desired.
Take an ordinary round steak cut at least an inch thick. Place it on a board and sprinkle it well with flour. Pound this flour into the steak with the edge of a plate or a regular meat pounder and when all the flour is absorbed furn the steak and treat the other side in the same fashion. Then turn to the first side again, alternating until it will take no more flour. Singe quickly on each slice in an iron frying pan with hot butter. Take from the fire and pour over the meat enough water to half fill the pan. Slice two tomatoes and an onion, if desired, into the pan, cover and allow to simmer very gently for three hours, replenishing the water from time to time. Season an hour before taking from the fire. When tender there will be a rich brown gravy flavored with tomato. Serve on platter with the gravy poured over the steak.
Cooking Bananas.
In Hawaii the banana is a favorite article of food, not only as a delicacy, but as an actual food commodity. The natives of the island have dozens of disguises for the fruit, and visitors agree that the American knows little of the possibilities of the long golden tube with its fragrant fruit filling. It is fried, baked and stewed in Hawaii, but, there is a way in which it appears at dessert which is worthy of imitation by the American.
For banana, pudding slice six bananas, ripe ones preferred, and stew them with very little water. Beat to a pulp when done, add four tablespoonfuls of sugar and turn them into a baking dish. Rub a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour, smooth and mix with a half pint of cocoan milk. Place on the stove and stir until boiling. Remove from the stove and when cool add the yolks of three eggs. Beat the whites of the eggs to a froth, stir in the custard slowly, add four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and a quarter of a grated nutmeg. Pour over the bananas and bake in a moderate oven for a half hour.

Maple Fondant.
A delicious maple fondant is made as follows: Boll together three cupfuls of maple sirup, two of cane sugar and half a teaspoonful of cream of tartar until it forms a thread an inch long when dripped from a spoon. Pour it into a buttered pan and let it stand for twenty minutes. Then beat it with a fork until it thickens. Turn the mass out upon a large buttered platter and form it into balls or cut it into squares when it has cooled. If not too stiff it can be treated like an ordinary fondant, but it is delicious however it is treated. Balls of the fondant may be dipped in melted chocolate or rolled in fresh grated cocoanut. A ball of it pressed between two walnut halves makes a delicious bonbon.
Salt Mackerel For Sunday.
Salt mackerel is less popular than it should be because most people have not cooked it the way to bring out its best points. There is a way to make it the best Sunday breakfast dish in the world: Select a good, firm mackerel. Soak it over night in icy cold water, flesh side down. In the morning melt in the frying pan a heaping tablespoonful of butter. Put in the mackerel, fry one side, turn carefully, keeping the flesh whole. Lift out on to a hot dish and pour in the pan a pint of thick sour cream. Let it boil up well, stirring it thoroughly, and pour it over fish. The salt of the fish takes out all the sour of the cream and makes a delicious gravy. Serve with hot buttered toast.
Regular Matinees Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 3:30. Two Performances Nightly 7:30 and 9:30 O'clock
Coffee Custard.
Put one-half cupful of good ground coffee in a little muslin bag and drop into four cups of cold milk. Let stand twenty minutes, then pour into the double boiler and leave until it reaches the boiling point. Cook five minutes, then remove the bag and pour the hot milk over four beaten eggs, and four heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar. Pour into a custard bowl and set in a pan of hot water in the oven, or, if preferred, turn back into the double boiler and cook until thickened. Strain and set aside to cool.
