MONTHLY BOARD SUB-COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT ODD-FELLOWS SO ORDERS
Affairs of Order in Georgia Receive Much Attention—Complaints of J. C. Styles, W. Decker Johnson and B. W. S. Daniels Sustained—Lodges Warned Not to Pay any District Deputy or Supervisor any Money
The Monthly Board of the SubCommittee of Managemnt, consisting of Grand Master Edward H. Morris, Grand Secretary James F. Needham, and Grand Treasurer Julius C. Johnson, met at Headquarters Building, Philadelphia, Pa., Monday, November 10. Of chief importance among the matters brought to the attention of the board by Grand Master Morris were several complaints which he had received from certain members in Georgia, setting forth certain wrongful, arbitrary, and usurpatory acts of the so-called executive committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18, and appealing to the Grand Master for relief.
The complainants were J. C. Styles, W. Decker Johnson, Dr.B. W. S. Daniels, and L. L. Edwards, and divers other persons with complaints similar to that of Brother Edwards.
Bro. J. C. Styles averred and submitted that he had been duly nominated for, elected to, and installed in the office of district grand treasurer of District Grand Lodge No. 18, jurisdiction of Georgia, at the meeting of said district grand lodge in Savannah, Ga., in August last.
He further averred, submitted and complained that Associate Justice W. L. Houston had wrongfully, arbitrarily, and without authority issued from Washington, D. C., a so-called restraining order or injunction pretending to oust him, the said J. C. Styles, from the office of district grand treasurer of District Grand Lodge No. 18, to which he had been duly elected and into which office he had been duly installed by Grand Director George A. Sheeby (a visitor from Florida), in the presence of the delegates there assembled and that of Henry Lincoln Johnson, deputy grand master of the Order, and Grand Director C. A. Howze, of the Sub-Committee of Management (a visitor from Alabama).
And Brother J. C. Styles further averred, submitted, and complained that the so-called executive committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18, with B. S. Ingram, acting as district grand master, and B. J. Davis, acting as district grand secretary, had wrongfully, arbitrarily, and without authority proceeded to hold a pretended election and pretended to declare that another person, to wit, one William Driskel, was grand treasurer of District Grand Lodge No. 18, notwithstanding that the said William Driskel had not been nominated for the office of, nor voted for, nor installed as the district grand treasurer at the meeting held in Savannah, Ga.
And in like manner Brother W. Decker Johnson averred, submitted, and complained that he had been nominated for, and elected and installed as district grand director at the Savannah meeting and that Chief Justice B. J. Davis, of the Odd Fellows Supreme Court, in his capacity as such chief justice, had wrongfully, arbitrarily, and without authority issued from Atlanta, Ga., a so-called restraining order or injunction pretending to oust him, the said W. Decker Johnson, from the office of district grand director District Grand Lodge No. 18.
Brother W. Decker Johnson further averred, submitted, and complained that the so-called executive committee of District Grand Lodge No. 18, with B. S. Ingram acting in the capacity of grand master, had wrongfully, abitrarily, and without authority proceeded to hold a pretended election and pretended to declare that another person was district grand director of District Grand Lodge No. 18. Dr. B. W. S. Daniels averred
HAGE CENTER SCHOOL
and submitted that he had been lawfully chosen as district grand medical examiner, and that he had been wrongfully, arbitrarily, and without authority ousted from the office by the so-called executive committee, with B. S. Ingram acting as grand master and B. J. Davis acting as grand secretary.
Brother L. L Edwards, of Three Links Lodge No. 5647, Waycross, Ga. (and others, made inquiry as to whether lodges in Georgia are to be governed by the proclamation of the Grand Master of the Order in America issued in June last respecting the recognition of so-called division deputies and the payment of certain division taxes and fees—a part of the so-called deputy system—or whether the lodges in Georgia are to be forever subjugated by the intimidatory orders issued by B. J. Davis in his capacity as district grand secretary. [Brother Edwards also advised Grand Master Morris that since writing his complaint, District Grand Secretary B. J. Davis had notified the permanent secretary of Three Links Lodge that he (L. L. Edwards) had been suspended.]
All of the complaints prayed for such action on the part of Grand Master Morris as was within his power of relief. In disposing of these complaints Grand Master Morris issued the following:
Order.-The Odd Fellows of Georgia and the Odd Fellows of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America, wherever they may be, are hereby directed and commanded to receive and regard Brother J. C. Stiles as the district grand treasurer of District Grand Lodge No. 18, of Georgia, and Brother W. Decker Johnson as district grand director of District Grand Lodge No. 18, of Georgia, until otherwise directed by the National Grand Master and

FOR BENEFIT OF CHARITY
HOSPITAL
Will be Held at Masonic Temple December 30th—Proceeds Go to Hospital Improvement Fund.
In most of the cities of the north and middle west the charity balls are the most talked of events of the winter season and this year Savannah will endeavor to have a similar event.
On the last Tuesday night in next month, December 30th, a charity ball for the benefit of Charity Hospital, will be given at the Masonic Temple. While this is by no means the first time this institution has had an affair of this sort yet none of them has reached that degree of popular favor where they have been considered a success in the broad sense of charity balls. However, efforts are now on foot to have the coming event one of much significance to the people of Savannah and one that will be a proper beginning of these annual charity balls.
Dr. C. C. Middleton, of the hospital staff, in speaking of the affair the other day, said that every effort would be made to arouse proper interest in these annual balls which the hospital expects to pull off and that he hopes they will be looked forward to from year to year as of much benefit to the community in general.
Card of Thanks
Mrs. A. E. Allen and Mrs. Rachel Hudson desire to thank their friends for their sympathy and many kindnesses during their recent bereavement and for their floral offerings.
Second Church Will Hold Carnival
FIVE-NIGHT HAT SHOW TO BE FEATURE
To Be Held at Mrs. Jno. Starr's And Adjoining Residences on Gaston St., East-Commences Monday Night.
On next Monday night a novel carnival will be held by the crew of the steamship Mauretania, who are in a financial race at the 2nd Baptist church with the Lusitania, the other vessel which is also returning from the imaginary yet very interesting trip to the Holy Land, which was begun several months ago and which has already resulted in many hundred dollars being added to the fund to wipe out a four thousand dollars mortgage on the church.
Next week's entertainment will be known as a "Hat Carnival" and will end on Friday night, November 28th. The carnival will be held in several of the houses on Gaston street between Price and Bowen streets, with Mrs. John Starr's house as headquarters.
The features of the carnival will be prizes for the lady who brings the largest and oddest shaped hat and for the one who makes and brings for exhibition the neatest and best trimmed hat. There will be Aunt Peggy's millinery department, which will contain a large assortment of winter hats for sale at low prices. Aunt Jerusha's apron table, whose home-made aprons both fancy and plain will be on sale, a European dining room where all the season's delicacies may be had, and an amusement room containing a shooting gallery, a grab bag a fishing pond and other interesting
Died in Darien
Mr. E. N. Selvian died Wednesday night last in Darien, Ga., where he went a few days ago for the benefit of his health. Mr. Sullivan has been for the past several years residing in Atlantic City N.J. Recently his health failed him and he came South about two months ago. He was well and favorably known in this city. He was always straightforward in his dealings. He leaves a wife and two children, other relatives and many friends to mourn his death. He was a member of the First Congregational church of this city and Mt. Moriah Lodge of Musons. The funeral takes place in Darien to morrow.
Thanksgiving at First Congregational Church
Thanksgiving services will be held next Thursday morning at the First Congregational church at 11 o'clock. The pastor, Rev. W. L. Cash, will preach a special sermon. Special offering will be taken for the poor. The church has appointed a committee to solicit articles which will be distributed to the poor after the service. The public is invited to attend.
On thanksgiving day a grand old time barbecue will be held and a turkey dinner and supper will be served from noon until near midnight. The church folk are much enthused over the bright prospects of the coming carnival and it is more than likely that a very neat sum will be raised from the fivenight entertainment. The price of admission to the carnival is ten cents a night, with season tickets going at twenty-five cents. The race between these two rival clubs of the church is a very spirited one and so close has it been that the contest which is scheduled to close in March will undoubtedly terminate much earlier.
Wage Earners To Build
WILL ERECT BEAUTIFUL THREE-STORY STRUCTURE AT WEST BROAD AND ALICE STS.
Work on New Building to Commence About February-Bank To Have Most Modern Quarters—Building to be of Buff Brick and Stone Front-Will Have About 30 Offices and Will be Steam Heated-Building to Cost $35,000.
That Savannah in the course of the next nine months will have one of the most beautiful and modern buildings in the country occupied by a Negro banking institution may be seen from the cut on this page of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company's new building. Work on the new building will commence about the first part of February. The new structure will occupy the northeast corner of West Broad and Alice streets, a portion of the half block which the company purchased some time ago, and will be the one block south of the Union Station.
The building will be constructed of buff brick and will be three stories high on a basement. The bank will occupy the major portion of the first floor and its quarters will be luxuriously equipped. The front of the first story will be of stone. Aside from the bank, there will also be one store on the first floor. The second and third stories will contain office rooms. In the basement which will extend sever al eet above the street thereby alowing ample light and ventilation will be a nicely fitted barber shop, the steam-heating plant and several storage rooms.
A slight change has been made from the way the building appears in the cut. Instead of having the entrance to the offices on Alice street, the main stairway will open on West Broad. The building will cost approximately $35,000.
Auto Polo Players to Have Game Here
Through the efforts of several Savannahians who are interested in the sport, the automobile polo players who arrived in Savannah Wednesday en route to Florida, have been induced to remain in Savannah until to-day and give an exhibition of the game.
Arrangements have been made for the use of the baseball park for the exhibition. These auto polo players have appeared in nearly all of the larger cities of the United States. Walter Sterling, the original player of the game, and Jimmie Allen who compose the team, known as the American team, have appeared also in Europe. An admission of 25 cents will be charged for the exhibition; which begins at 3 o'clock this Saturday afternoon.
Colored Public Library
Interest in the campaign is centered at the present time in the quartette contest and debate which will take place at the Second (Fort) Baptist church, corner of Houston and President streets, on Monday night. November 24. The following quartettes have registered: Piney Woods with I. Williams, W. W. Mumphris, E. R. Collins, and Dan Burroughs; Pastime with Chas. Pleasants, Paul White.

the members work together with ardor for the common good. Masonry is not meant for cold souls and narrow minds, that do not comprehend its lofty mission. Here tpe anathema against lukewarm souls applies. To comfort misfortune, to popularize knowledge, to teach whatever is true and pure in religion and philosophy, to accustom men to respect order and the proprieties of life, to point out the way to genuine happiness, to prepare for that fortunate period, when all the factions of the Human Family, united by the bonds of Toleration and Fraternity, shall be but one household; these are the labors that may well excite zeal and enthusiasm. Albert Pike.
THE NEWLY MADE MASTER MASON The following beautiful expression of our esteemed Past Grand Master Chas, F. Butk is making the rounds of the Masonic Press:
The newly-raised Master Mason stands before us, the embodiment of spiritual perfection, from which the vices and superfluities of common life have been extracted and cleansed away. He grasps the hand not of a man, but of mankind—he becomes one with and a part of the suffering mass as the pledges of fellowship are unfolded to him and his footsteps, his prayers and the sympathies of his heart are consecrated to the service of his brother.
As a rule, the new Master Mason graps the vigor and beauty of this consummation. He realizes as he looks hastily, perhaps vaguely, back over the various journeys he has made from his first surprise to the final climax, that a new and broader view of his own being has developed into consciousness. He is, perhaps, dazzled in the revelation that has come to him--in the beauties of a system which contains hidden in its simple and innocent formalities the whole problem of life, aye, and of death and immortality!
He feels, in a breath, his weakness and his strength, his dependence and his sovereignty; his mortality and his divine hope. He bows in a sense of humility before the grandeur of the new light by which his spirit sees, and dedicates himself in silent worship to the realization of its deep suggestions. He may truly wonder why, with so much of goodness and beauty in the human heart which Masonry has brought home to his soul—like a new inspiration—the world should not be better and happier than it is.
He is suddenly impressed with the sublime truth that the best part of our lives is that which we live for and in others.
The curse of our present system of Masonry is ignorance. There are many Masons who profess to know all about the catechism, yet who never read anything Masonic, not even the great light upon the altar. If asked as to the meaning of any of the symbols, emblems or legends, they appear dumb. They even refuse to read in the by-laws the answers to simple questions, wanting them referred to the Grand Master, imagining that individual to be an infallible walking encyclopedia of law and usage, and a compendium of history, landmark and tradition,

One trouble with our present system is that we are not teaching Masons to think, but to remember, and so long as it is possible for a man to stand up and recite ritual by the yard, and receive the plaudits of admiring friends, he has very little desire to search after those things which go to build the fraternity into its high relationship to human activity. -Illinois Freemason.
"A good Mason" does not mean a man who can roll off the ritual like a phonograph, but one whose handshake has an electrifying shock of good fellowship that draws you toward him, and one to whom you want to confide your sorrows and with whom you want to share your joys.—Exchange.
Let the Master be a Man of strong character and when sitting in the east remember well Masonry is a character uilder, that he will teach the craft that in the social circle or in the private walks of life, his character is formed, that whatever he does is the result of the thoughts he indulges in, in public or private life, and by these outgoings of the inner man, men generally report what they really are. Every passion, movement, and muscle betrays the heart and speaks the language of every craftsman's heart.
The master should be a man of broad views, well posted on Masonic principles, kind-hearted and true, and fail not to teach these things -Masonic Journal
MASONIC APPLAUSE
As to correct form of applause in a Masonic lodge, replying to a correspondent, we would say nothing of a delinite character has been satisfactorily settled In the Grand Lodge of England the form of Masonic applause, we understand, is by striking the knee once with the hand, or, more usually, by a single clap. According to our English brethren continued applause is quite out of order. Many of the English subordinate lodges adopted the Grand Lodge form

In the Grand Lodge of Ireland the brethren clap their hands as in Canada, and there is no restriction as to the number of times. The same applies to the subordinate lodges in that country. The method adopted in the Scottish lodges is precisely the same as that for the English lodges. In the United States a similar form prevails to that followed in our Canadian lodges.—Masonic Sun.
**
As I view the Masonic institution and its grand and noble principles, so dear to all of us, its purposes may be classed as twofold. The first is care of, and solicitude for the brethren to make its votaries wiser and better and consequently happier. The second, as men and as Masons, not only to watch with unfailing care, but to take, when time and opportunity offer an active part in what is transpiring in the world around us, and to be directly interested in anything and everything which appertains in any way to the betterment of our fellow-man and for the general good of mankind. By doing this we shall be stronger men and better Masons.—Chas. Reynolds Smith. Nova Scotia

The Long and the Short of It. Mrs. Bearne in "A Court Painter and His Circle" tells a good story of the Chevallier de Colngy. When a very young man, fresh from college, he was suppling with Mme. Geoffrin and telling an overlong story. In order to interrupt it his hostess asked him to carve a chicken. He began to do so, making use of much too small a knife. Madame, noticing his difficulty, remarked, "M. le Chevallier, take my advice, and if you want to succeed tell short stories and use long knives."
An Old Puritan Name
Among the millions of our fellow countrymen you would expect to find some curious survivals of names. Well, the other day I found the name, still surviving in Lancashire. "Tramplepleasure." It does not occur in the London telephone directory. It has never before occurred in my experience, but it is obviously a survival of the "Praise God Barebones" period. And the last man with that name should be forgiven if he shortened it to Smith. London Standard.
Handel's Big Earnings.
Handel made more money from his works than any composer before his time. For a "Te Deum" and a "Jubilate," written to celebrate the treaty of Utrecht, he was awarded a pension of £200 a year. This was doubled by George I. soon after his accession and confirmed by George II., so that Handel drew the pension until his death in 1759. Altogether for these two compositions Handel received £18,800. Although he lost thousands of pounds running opera at Covent Garden. Handel dled worth £20,000—a sum, allowing for the difference in the value of money, equal to £60,000 nowadays.—London Mall.
Given Under His Hand.
Uncle Luke sometimes has the job of accompanying visitors about one of the South Carolina cotton mills near Columbia. One day the party under his care came to a room where all the employees were men. "I see you don't employ any women here," said one woman in surprise.
"Deed we aln't, ma'am." answered Luke proudly. "Mr. Parker done order dat hisself, ma'am—nothin' 'cept manual labor in dish yer room."—New York Post.
Meat Versus Song.
The great tenor's lunch consisted of a cheese omelet, asparagus, fruit and an ice.
"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.

"Love is like a kitten,' gurgled the sweet young thing. "It is born blind."
"Yes, but it only takes a kitten nine days to get its eyes opened," replied the utterly unfeeling brute.—Philadelphia Record.

The Glass Snake.
The slowworm is the snake which country people tell you has the peculiar property of breaking itself into bits, each piece afterward surviving. The truth differs slightly from the legend. The slowworm is a timid creature and when first captured tighten all its muscles, thus reducing itself to a remarkably rigid state, in which cria tion it will no doubt snap like a twig; but, needless to say, only the upper and vital portions survive the deal.—London Globe.
MEN WHO CAN AND WILL
The world today is above all above a practical world, and it demands results. What it is looking for is men who can and will do things. It is recorded of Lord Kitchener that, when during the South Africa can campaign a subordinate officer reported to him a failure to obey orders and gave reasons therefor he said to him: "Your reasons for not doing it are the best heard. Now go and do it." That is what the world demands today.
—George W. Goethals.
Old World Canals 1911 101 VI
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.

Whatever may be said as to the merits and demerits of William Moorroe Trotter, the fiery editor of the Boston Guardian, it cannot be denied that he rendered the race a great service in the lead which he took recently in bringing to the direct attention of President Wilson the protests of thousands of our people against segregation and its attendant evils now apparently a governmental institution and so much in vogue in the national capital. The committee which waited on the president and of which Editor Trotter was spokesman, was indeed a notable one. It contained not only men and women of brain but of courage as well. In his speech before the President, Editor Trotter made it clear to him that it was separation pure and simple which his people objected to and against which he was fighting with all his might. He made it plain to the President that his people were not clamoring for equal accommodation nor for better ac
commodations. These implied were only products resulting from certain processes born of certain conditions. "What we want," said he. "is the annulment of any law or order that tends to segregate." According to reports, Editor Trotter and the members of his committee were very kindly received by the President who after listening with patience to their complaints, gave them to understand that he was entirely unaware of any existing order to segregate our people in any of the governmental departments and that if, after a thorough investigation, such were found to be true, that he would seek to remedy the same immediately. It is reported that as the committee filed out of the room of the president that it was noticed that he wore a very sad and serious countenance. And how could he be otherwise? To know that one-tenth of the people of the country over which he presides feels that they are not getting a square deal at the hands of the administration is indeed a thought which can hardly be slightly considered by any one. Our people throughout the country are stirred up as never before over the probable outcome of the president's policy of curtailment now being practiced by certain of our governmental officials in regard to our people. And they are letting the powers that be understand that they, like other races, will demand and fight for their manhood rights. Thirty-eight thousand protests properly filled out and signed certainly show in the aggregate a mighty effort on the part of any people. Our people have done this. They are showing that they mean to be heard. Meanwhile it behooves each of us to so act that we may win new champions to our cause and at the same time show the world that we merit every consideration asked for by us.

Over Home News, Beaufort S. C.
Mrs. J.D. Hamilton was in the city for a few weeks at her old home on New Castle street. More than 300 ministers, delegates to the Ashley Baptist Association which convened at the Brick Church on St. Helena Island, from November 18th to 23rd, passed through Beaufort Tuesday. Both trains morning and evening came into Beaufort crowded with delegates enroute to St. Helena. Sunday promises to be the biggest day at the Association. Mr. Walter Reed of this city, who for some few years was employed as clerk at the Charleston Navy yard, is spending his vacation here.
Mr. George Moultrie was in the city for a few days this week visiting his family. The Bazaar and baby show that were given at the Odd-Fellows Temple on Tuesday night of this week by the ladies of the Presbyterian Church, was a financial success. Some of the prettiest little tots to be seen were on exhibit. Beaufort certainly can hand it to any city her size when it comes to good looking babies. Mrs. Sarah Small Williams and Mrs. Alexander Meyers deserve much credit for their able management of the baby show.
Mr. H. H. Moore died at his home corner Charles and Queen streets, on Thursday morning of last week, after an illness of more than two months. His funeral took place this morning from the F. A. B. Church, of which he was a deacon. Mr. Moore is survived by the following: Mr. Jacob Moore of Jacksonville, Fla., Miss Lula Moore, New York City; and two little grand children.
Beaufort is to have a large celebration on January 1st, 1914. A meeting of the representative citizens was held at the office of Hon. J. I. Washington, Wednesday of this week. Plans were formulated for a mammoth celebration, this being the fiftieth year of Emancipation. An executive committee of one hundred men from all parts of the county was appointed to select such articles as will make a fitting exhibit representing the race's progress. Circular letters will be sent to each member by the committee and each Lodge and all civic Societies in the county.
Major P. A. Roper, G. W. C. the Courts of Calanthe of South Carolina, and Miss Rosa Williams, Grand Recorder of Deeds, left the city this week for Columbia, S. C., to meet with a joint committee from all parts of the State in the interest of the Order. Prof. James Riley, Jr., spent a few days in Allendale, S. C., last week. Mr. C. E. Mixon left the city this week to see the Sixth Annual Negro Fair at Augusta, Ga. Rev. and Mrs. Isaac Meyers left the city this week to attend the M. E. Church annual conference at Eutawville, S. C.
A delightful home social was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Simmons on Green street, Monday evening.
HAMPTON DEFEATS HOW-
ARD-6108
Howard University went down to defeat on the Hampton gridiron, Friday November 14, in one of the greatest football games ever played between elevenes representing Negro institutions. Throughout the game Hampton had a slight advantage. The ball was in the visitors' territory most of the time, yet it was the last three minutes that decided the contest. When the timekeeper's whistle sounded there were two great emotions in evidence on the faces of the crowd. To some the victory was sweet revenge, the striving of four long years: to
others the defeat was a great shock, almost more than could be borne; but every man left the gridiron feeling that the better team had won.
Notes of Negro Progress
The State Pure-Food inspector for Kentucky recently reported the Negro grocery store of J. R. Hawkins, & Co., at Hopkinsville, excellent for cleanliness. The Hawkins & Co., store is kept scrupulously clean, carries a very large stock, and eighty per cent of its patrons are the best whites in the city.
The Local Negro Business League at Indianapolis, was recently reorganized with a set of energetic, hustling officers. The use of the Y. M. C. A. there was tendered to the league in which to hold monthly meetings without charge.
Philip H. Brown, a Negro printer of Hopkinsville, and well known throughout the country, has formed a partnership with a white printer in his town, and conducts an up-to-date, and very successful printing establishment. In addition, Mr. Brown conducts The Hopkinsville News.
The Negro business and professional men at Owensboro, Ky., are very desirous of establishing a race newspaper in that city, and are in quest of a man with sufficient ability and experience to take charge of it. If they can find the man they will contribute $1,000 cash to start it off. These are actuated solely by race pride. Owensboro has a total population of 26,000, 7,000 of which are Negroes. Small surrounding or nearby towns which the paper would cover has a Negro population of perhaps 15 or 20 thousand.
James T. Roberts, of Evansville, Ind., conducts an installment house, handling new and secondhand furniture of every description. His business has grown so that he was compelled to buy a building with double the capacity of his old building.
The Negroes of Louisville, Ky., have two thoroughly modern libraries, each provided with an assembly room, reading room, and many thousands of volumes of the standard and latest books, together with all the leading newspapers and periodicals.
Ky., has established what he styles as a Publicity Bureau for handling all the Negro newspapers and publication, in the small town of Frankfort, alone he puts out weekly over four hundred copies of various Negro publications, and nets a handsome income.
The Local Business League of Sherman, Tex., has already taken steps looking to the chartering of a special train to carry the Local Business League of Forth Worth, Dallas, Denison, and Sherman, Tex., to the National meeting at Muskogee next August. They are also planning to charter a special train back on which to carry the officers of the National League who will be invited to make a trip to their section to stimulate the people of that section.
George Washington, a colored man of Lexington, Ky., conducts the largest clothes pressing and cleaning establishment in that city of 35,000 population. The drivers of his delivery wagons are all uniformed. He also conducts a successful haberdashery. Recently he opened another establishment directly across the street from his main store, which he conducts under another name, to cater to a cheaper class of patrons. His two places give him a monoply of the business.
Shelton & Willis, successful Negro undertakers at Indianapolis, Ind., recently purchased the large stone church adjoining the Colored Y. M. C. A. there, which they proposed to remodel and make one of the finest, and most modern undertaking establishments, white or colored, in Indianapolis.

"A wonderful word is clover! Drop the 'c,' and you have the happiest of mankind. Take away the 'c' and 'r,' and you have left the only thing that makes a heaven of this dull and barren earth.

Schoolboy Songs In Mountains. There is a widespread practice in the schools of Switzerland for parties of boys to go out in charge of a master and learn geography and geology by actual object lessons. When such parties come upon a scene especially wild and romantic it is their custom to sing appropriate part songs. During a recent tour in eastern Switzerland a tourist was startled by hearing such singing on one of the remote passes and found a party of forty or fifty boys thus-engaged.-London Standard.

Making the
Little Farm Pay
By C. C. BOWSFIELD
MANY city women have shown in recent years that they are capable of running a farm. In the numerous little farm enterprises which are observed around every large city women are conspicuous as owners and managers. It is evident that they are determined to grasp the new problems which surround agricultural life.
1
A number of Chicago women have given practical demonstration of the success which may be attained by their sex in the lighter class of farming and country home management. The tendency which is now so apparent toward rural life is likely to reverse the flow of population. This has a sociological as well as a commercial aspect, and the results will be largely credited to woman. Her work is of ever increasing importance in farm life. It is her province so to shape social conditions in the country that young people will be attracted to agricultural pursuits rather than repelled therefrom.
Women are showing that there are large profits to be made from honey, poultry, onions, cucumbers, sweet corn, flowers and many other commodities which they are capable of handling in a manner demanded by the best trade. The certainty that prices will remain high for such products comes from the rapid growth of towns and cities. The market for flowers and general produce seems to be unlimited, and satisfactory returns are assured where proper attention is given to cultivation. Choice asters are selling in the wholesale market at $4 per 100, and as this has become the favorite product of many of Chicago's women floriculturists it is worth while to consider what one can earn on an acre of land.
An aster is distinctly an out of door plant. It is hardy and the most free from insects of any garden product. It is exceedingly prolific. With land fairly well fertilized an acre will produce at a moderate estimate $1,200 worth of asters. A yield of $1,400 would not be at all phenomenal. Garden produce may seem more practicable as a family enterprise.
On a tract of twelve acres which she is handling with the hope of enabling her husband to give up city employment a woman makes this showing:
Five acres of onions, net..... $700
Eggs from 200 hens..... 400
Seventy-five bushels of cherries..... 175
One acre of cucumbers, net..... 125
$1,400
The five acres of onions brought in market upward of $1,000, but there was a large item of expense, chiefly hired help.
Still another example is given in the following table:
Six hundred pounds of honey..... $50
Butter from eight cows..... 450
Cherries from forty trees..... 90
Squabs..... 70
Eggs and poultry..... 200
Twenty hogs..... 300
Horse and young stock..... 190
$1,470
In this case $300 was paid out for
wages, and the increased value of
stock almost equaled this sum.
GREW SPUDS IN BARREL
Wonderful Example of Intensive Potato Cultivation Reported by Farmer. A few years ago an ingenious gardener near one of our eastern cities was inspired to test the possibility of growing potatoes in a barrel. The barrel had formerly contained lime, but not much of this remained. The experimenter placed in the bottom of the barrel, from which the head had been taken out, five or six inches of rich soil and embedded in this a single whole potato. As the vines grew fresh earth was added from time to time and the plants were watered whenever the soil appeared dry. No insects or blight troubled them, and early in the fall, when the vines seemed to be dry, the contents of the barrel were turned out and 125 large, fine tubers were found, all attached to the dead stems, besides a half peck of small potatoes not of marketable quality.
The experiment was claimed to be a great success, and it was said that 5,000 barrels were immediately ordered for the production of the next year's crop.
For this very little seed comparatively would be required, very little labor in preparing the bed, no weeding or cultivating except the occasional addition of a few inches of fresh soil, no paris greenhouses, bugs or bordeaux mixture for blight and the harvesting done by merely picking up the tubers from the overturned barrel—Farm Progress.
Your land will never again be what it was if you do not do something to keep it what it is—Farm and Ranch.

A part at least of the candy which the little folks in the home eat in the course of their proper nutrition should be made at home. Such candies are pure and are, as a rule, comparatively inexpensive.
The birdseye effect or pattern in hard maple is said to be due to the presence of buds which for some reason cannot force their way through the bark, but which remain just beneath it year after year.
Probably the best paid farm, foreman in the world is Vernon Cooke, formerly a noted dry farming expert, who lived in the United States and now is in the employ of the Brazilian government, with charge over a farm tract 500 miles square.
Drought and an early frost in heavy buckwheat producing sections cut the crop so that it is reported the smaller yield in thirteen years. In view of this situation it would be well to Fletcherize all the flapjacks that one eats this winter.
The disciple of the genial Ike Walton always has an indisputable argument for staying at the lake or river just a little longer. If the fish are biting he wants just one more, while if they are not he has every reason for staying until he does get a bite.
The potato crop for 1913 is placed at 100,000,000 bushels less than that of 1912, or 319,000,000 bushels. Maine is the only one of the potato producing states that has a larger crop than last year. The average price to producers for *their potato crop on Oct. 1* is put at 74.1 cents per bushel.
the farmer who, in a benevolent mood, gave his wide awake boy a little pig and then when the animal got to weigh 350 pounds sold it and didn't give the lad the coin will have himself to thank if this same boy digs out for the city where he can be his own boss and get what he considers a square deal.
As the colder weather comes on and the need increases for warmer fires care should be given to the condition of the fuses and chimneys. A little repair work done along this line may save the family's hiking out in negligee attire some night in the next three or four months when the thermometer is down near the zero point.
If the flock of hens are too fat and as a result have shut down on their laying operations a change should be made in feeding them. If they have been given mashes these should be cut out, the grain being fed whole and the hens being made to scratch it out of a litter, which should be renewed often enough so that it will not become foul.
That achieving fame seems to be largely the result of doing some one thing a little better than anybody else is nicely illustrated in the case of the Oregon hen, C-543, that laid 291 eggs in the course of a single year. She simply laid eight more eggs in that time than any other hen ever laid, but she is now known from one end of the country to the other.
A reader of this department asks the title of the bulletin referred to some time ago which gives descriptions and colored plates of fifty of our best known and most valuable insect destroying birds. This is farmers' bulletin No. 518 and may be had free of charge by writing to one's congressman or senator at Washington or for a nominal sum by writing direct to the department of agriculture at Washington. A copy of the bulletin should be in every school and in every home.
Every family, whether residing in town or country, should have a place of safe keeping for valuable papers, where they may be kept from damage by fire or other agency. Too often such papers are kept in most any old place and a place that is all too often forgotten if a fire does break out. A safe deposit box and a niche in which to keep it may be had for little or nothing in most any bank. With this true, there is no excuse in not keeping the valuable papers together where they will be safe.
Getting the boy started at eight or ten years of age with a bank account is a mighty good idea from the standpoint of the bank account, the money saved, and even more, about the standpoint of the boy. Its increase will not only mean that it will get its owner a good many things in later years which will be worth while, but it will also be a potent influence, causing him to pass up a good many things that are not only not worth while, but a serious handicap on his success and happiness in life.
Sheep, horses and goats are the least susceptible of the domestic animals to tuberculosis. This is doubtless partly due to inherent immunity, but as much to the fact that they are not pampered as are dairy cows, on the one hand, and are not subject to the contagion and fifth that hogs are, on the other.
Australia ought to be a bonanza country for automobilists. It is said that there are not only restrictions on speed there, but that folks who get in the way of automobiles are summarily arrested. Much the same conditions prevail in some sections of America, except that they bury instead of arrest those who obstruct the highways.
While it is well to have the cellar warm enough to keep the vegetables from freezing, it is a good plan to arrange for some ventilation during the milder spells of the winter. This will result in the fruit and vegetables keeping better and in a more sanitary condition, which is desirable for the well-being of the folks who live over it.
An Illinois farmer has come to the conclusion that a flock of pigeons which frequented a field in which he had a bunch of shoots hogging down corn introduced the attack of hog cholera which caused him a loss of nearly a third of his drove of ninety. He has decided to have an open season on pigeons after this all the year around.
Warnings which have been quite widely issued in the corn belt territory tell of the likelihood of a loss of stock as a result of eating cornstalks that have been stunted by drought. As a result of chemical process, not any too well understood, a virulent poison resembling prussic acid develops in such stalks, but it is volatile (disappears in the air) when the moisture evaporates from the stalks. This usually takes place by Jan. 1, when they are thoroughly dry.
Popular Science tells of a method of extracting wooden silvers that will bring relief to a good many women and some men who are sort of chicken hearted when it comes to digging out a silver with a needle or jackknife. Fill a wide mouthed bottle, such as a milk bottle, nearly full of hot water and place over the mouth of the bottle the part containing the silver, pressing down slightly in order to prevent any steam from escaping. This will cause the flesh to draw down, and in a short time the action of the steam will extract the silver and also reduce any inflammation.
There is little question that with the increasing scarcity of wood post material steel posts will come more and more into favor. As it is now, they cost but a trifle more than wooden posts and when set are practically indestructible. To this they add great strength and firmness, while several types are made so that the wire can be attached without the use of separate staples or hooks. A method that is being followed by a good many in setting them is to pour cement into the bottom of the hole in which they are set, fill in with earth well to the top and then give the post a collar of cement at the surface of the ground.
A lady friend who is a close student and friend of the birds reported an incident the other day which seems to show that they have the play instinct as have human belings and quadrupeds. A brood of bluejays, which had hatched near her home and which were large enough to fly about, were observed one day going through some odd antics in a wire hammock. Leaves had fallen therein, and the jays seemed to be getting a good deal of fun poking these through the meshes and then peeking over the edges of the hammock to watch them as they fell to the ground. Our friend said that since this exhibition she has had a warm spot in her heart for even the disreputable jay.
A question that does not seem to have been yet determined scientifically by any of the experiment stations is whether the feeding of apples in considerable quantities to milk cows has any perceptible effect upon the flow of milk. From their own experience a good many dairymen seem to be convinced that the eating of large quantities by the cows tends to decrease milk flow, but the matter has not been got down in what may be called black and white. Apples are worth from the standpoint of nutritive value about one-third of what silage is. From this it will be seen that they serve about the same purpose as turnips—furnish a variety for the system and tend to increase capacity to assimilate larger quantities of other foods.
The egg laying contest which is being conducted at Storrs college, Connecticut, has passed the forty-ninth week. The two pens of English White Leghorns are still far in the lead, with no prospect that any pen lower down will overtake them. In the contest so far ten pens of White Leghorns have laid from 900 to 1,169 eggs each (pen of five towls), three having passed the 1,000 mark—Barron's, 1,160; Cam's, 1,089; Sleeegur's, 1,011. White Wyandottes make the next best showing Cam's pen having laid 948 eggs and Mrs. Haynes' 918. In the contest at Mountain Grove, Mo., Barron's pen of White Leghorns lead any other pen of any breed by 271 eggs, one of his pullets having laid 265 eggs and having a month more in which to add to the record. She will have to lay twenty-seven eggs in this thirty days to beat the record of the Oregon hen G-543 that recently broke the world's record with 291 eggs.

"Yes, healthy." "I dinaa comprehend. I have heard of a healthy man and of a healthy morning, but never of a healthy book."
Oriental Rug Dye
The dyes employed in the coloring of the materials that go to make up oriental rugs have always been the despair of westerners. We are told of one strange method of making the dyes of ancient days. It seems that in some places the custom prevailed of making holes in the beds of brooks during the dry season, in which, when the rain fell, all sorts of vegetable and mineral substance were deposited and left to act upon one another until the dry season arrived, when the contents of the holes were removed by the dyers, who, grinding all together indiscriminately, made shades that vied with the plgeon's breast in beauty and with the clouds of sunset in variety.
Historio St. Sepulcher
St. Sepulcher's, the city church at the end of Holborn vladict, whose churchyard is open to the public, dates, as the name implies, from the time of the first crusade. Of the present edifice, which had suffered sadly from "restorers," only the fine tower, one of London's landmarks, retains medieval masonry. From the top of this tower "rich Dodington," the brother-in-law of Walsingham, threw himself to avoid a chancery lawsuit. "If I do break my neck," said Bacon to Queen Elizabeth, "I shall do it in a manner as Mr. Dodington did it, who walked on the battlements of the church many days and took a survey where he should fall."—London Chronicle.

Lesson VIII. — Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 23, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Josh. i, 1-9—Memory Veres, 5, 6—Golden Text, Josh. 1-9—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The book of Joshua opens with an other reference to the passing from earth of Moses, in some respects greatest of all prophets (Deut. xxxiv, 10-12), and again he is called by that great name, the servant of the Lord (Deut. xxxiv, 5). It is one of the titles of the Lord Jesus (Isa. xlii, 1; Matt xlii, 18; Zech. ill, 8), and on that great passover night, when there was a strife among the disciples as to who should be the greatest. He taught that it was greater to serve and said, "I am among you as he that serveth" (Luke xxlii, 24-27). Paul rejoiced in the title (Rom. i, 1; Phil. i, 1; Tit. i, 1) and perhaps never said anything greater than when he said, "Whose I am and whom I serve" (Acts xxvll, 23). Joshua is called Moses' minister or servant or the one standing before him (Ex. xxiv, 13; xxxiii, 11; Deut. i, 38).
We meet him for the first time victoriously leading Israel against Amalex, while Aaron and Hur stayed up the hands of Moses. Next we find him as Moses' minister going up into the mount of God with Moses when he went to receive the tables of the law and returning with him after the forty days. Then we find him abiding in the tabernacle and afterward as one of the twelve spies and one of the two who encouraged the people to go up at that time and possess the land, the only two who left Egypt as men and entered into the promised land (Ex. xvil, 8-16; xxiv, 13; xxiii, 17; xxill. 11; Num. xilif, 8, 16; xlv, 6, 30; xxvl, 65). When Moses was told that he could not enter into the land he asked the Lord to set a man over them who would faithfully shepherd them, and the Lord said, "Take the Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him" (Num. xxvil, 12-23).
Now Moses is gone, and Joshua is the leader, and the Lord spoke unto Joshua, and our lesson gives us the message. We read in one place that "the word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel" (Ezek. 1, 3), and unless the word of the Lord comes expressly to each of us as we read we have not read with profit as we might have done. There is a Canaan to be possessed and enjoyed, not after we die, but here and now, and we may enter ourselves and help others to enter. It is all a matter of faith, and "we who have believed do enter into rest" (Heb. iv, 3). The land was given to them, but they were to enter in and take possession, only that which they actually trod upon being really theirs (verses 2, 4; Deut. xi, 24).
I do not know any greater assurance for a believer in the word of God than those wonderful words of the Lord to men, "I am with you." Even to Jacob He said, "Behold, I am with thee and will keep thee." To Isaac He said, "Fear not, for I am with thee." To Moses He said, "Certainly I will be with thee," and now He says to Joshua: "As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. I will not fall thee nor forsake-thee" (verse 5; Gen. xvill. 15; xxvl. 24; Ex. iii. 12).
The Lord Jesus could say nothing greater to His disciples when He sent them forth after His resurrection with the good news for all the world than "Lo, I am with you all the days" (Matt. xxvll. 20). Just one suggestion from this great assurance certainly is this—that He will do it all, all that is to be done, if we will only be His willing and obedient fellow workers (I Cor. iif. 9; I Cor. vl. 1).
Hls word is to be our continual and only guide. our meditation day and night, our sole reliance in every matter, and at all times, then, there shall be true prosperity and good success and constant victory over all enemies (verses 5, 7, 8; Ps. 1, 2; Jer. xvii, 7, 8). In such an attitude of soul and with a mind thus stayed upon Jehovah we cannot but be strong and of good courage. I have found this command ten times, but possibly you may find it more often—Moses to Israel, once; Moses to Joshua, twice; the Lord to Joshua, three times; Israel to Joshua, once; Joshua to Israel, once; David to Solomon, twice: (Deut. xxxi, 6, 7, 23; Josh. 1, 6, 7, 9, 18; x. 24; I Chron. xxii, 13; xxviii, 20).
I remember well what a strength Dent. xxxi, 6, 8, were to me in the fall of 1876 as I moved my family from St. John, N. B., to Boston, Mass., having given up the position of principal of a public school to give my whole time to missionary work. The Lord did certainly speak to my soul in those words at that time and many a time since. As to all truly Christian work, since He cannot fall nor be discouraged (Isa. xlii, 4) those who believe and rely upon His "I am with you" cannot fall nor be discouraged.
Note the "Be not afraid: neither be thou dismayer, of verse 9 and compare Isa. xli. 10, 13, and Deut. xxxl, 8. The "Have not I commanded thee" reminds us of the word to Gideon, "Go in this thy might; * * * have not I sent thee?" (Jung. vi. 14) and of Jer. 4: 7-8; "Thou shou'r go to all that I shall send thee. 'Yam with thee.' All depends upon who commands us, who sends us.

FIGHTING HOG CHOLERA.
Proventive Treatment With Serum Has
Proved Successful.
‘The university farm of Minnesota
university has published a bulletin on
hog cholera and its preventive treat-
ment, from which the following is
gleaned: _—
‘Hog cholera has been recognized as
© specifie contagious disease f swine
for about 100 years. The first authen-
ticated outbreak in this country occur-
red in 1833. when large numbers of
hogs in Oblo died from a discase which
answers the description of hog cholera
as we now know“ft.
‘This highly contagious disease has
caused the loss of, millions of doliars
annually. It has been estimated that
the losses during 1912 reached $50,000,-
000. One state alone fs said to bare
sustained a loss of $10,000,000 from
this dread disease in 1912,
It has been recently discovered that
well hogs may be treated (vaccinated)
with hog cholera serum so that they
will not take the disease if exposed
later. Such treatment Is called immu-
nization. ‘This method of treatment
fhas passed the experimental stage and

‘TREATING A HOG YOR CHOLERA
4s now on a practical working basis.
There are several different methods
for immunizing hogs or making them
immune to cholera. Immunization
consists fu bringing about the presence
of what are called immune bodies in
the blood. ‘They enable the animal to
resist such cholera germs as enter the
system. ‘These immune bodies are
present in the Diood of hogs that have
recovered from cholera. Such animals
are sometimes called “immunes.”
‘A hog that las been treated with
hog cholera serum without exposure to
cholera at the same time does not
form any protective substances or im-
raune bodies of its own. It {s yender-
ed immune for a short time (three
weeks to two months), due to the pres-
ence of the protective substances in-
jected. Such treatment 1s known as
the single or “serum only” method.
When it fs desired to make a bog
permanently immune and there is no
cholera yet in the herd Jt is necessary
that hog cholera germs be introduced
into his system simultancously with
the serum, which protects the hog
from the cholera germs injected. This
is accomplished by the Introduction
into the hog’s body of a small amount
of virus, Virus Is the germ laden
blood obtained from a hog sick with
cholera. It is injected at the same
time with the serum, but with a sep-

GENERAL FARM NOTES.
Seed corn shoud always be stored on
the ear. It should never be put into
boxes, barrels or sacks.
In the making of cheese it should
be turned in the hoops in the morning
and kept well pressed until about noon.
Good results are obtained by pressing
two days.
‘The lack of a manure spreader and
other things of the kind bas driven
mesy a boy awky from the farm.
Farming can be made drudgery for
the boy, but it need not be so. Look at
the question of farm {mplements from
the boy's standpoint if the financial ad-
vantages do not scem clear enough.
His Quandary.
_ “What I can’t git through me,” says
Farmer Horniband, “Is how these here
dressmakers gits their tdees. F'r in-
stance, I seen a woman on th’ street
that looked ‘s if they wasn't nobody
in her clothes at tall, an’ my married
darter, which Is a city dressmaker wo-
man, sald th’ dress wuz ‘too full,”
when It looked t’ me ’s if it was gosh
dinged nigh empty. An’ aft'ward I
seen one ’at looked ’s if y’ couldn't ’a’
squeezed a cambric needle in beside
‘er, an’ my darter said ’t wa’n't full
enough, when it looked tt me ‘s if 't
would bust if they tried t’ fll it any
fuller, by heck!”—Strickland Gillilan in
Lipplncott's.
His Fate.
The race of consequential vergers Is
not yet extinct. Dean Pigoc has a
story about one of them who, when a
Bishop asked im at what point he
was to make his appearance, replied:
“First I take the choir people to their
places, and then, after they are seated,
I return for you, my lord, and conduet
you to the halter.”—London ‘vle;...apb.
Love Deaths In faver.. *
Suicide as a cure for hopeless loye fs
acommon expedient in Japan. ‘{There
are Japanese lovers,” says a fvriter,
“who, owing to clreurhstances, are un.
able to marry, but they do not blame
circumstances. ‘They regard their mis-
fortune as the result of an error in a
previous “existence, such as breaking
thelr promise to wed or because. they
were cruel-to each other. Such lovers
believe that if they bind themselves to-
gether with an undergirdle and spring
into a river or lake they will become
united in thelr next birth. This sut-
cide of Japanese lovers is called
‘Joshi,’ which means ‘love death’ or
‘assion death,’
Lishinien nad Shenden:
By counting the number of seconds
in the Interval between lightning and
thunder it 1s possible to figure approxt-
mately how far from the observer is
the scene of the storm. Sound travels
1,100 feet a second. Multiply the num-
ber of seconds by 1,100 and it will
give the distance in fect from the point
where the lightning flashed. For ex-
ample, if ten seconds have elapsed the
distance away will be 11,000 feet, or a
Uttie over two-miles. It might-be add-
ed that, as light and lightning travel
so imuch faster than sound, if a man
survives after hearing the crashing
peal he can be sure he fs safe. Remem-
brance of this will dissipate terror.
Disturbing Punctuality.
Thererare on occasion two points of
view ag to the punctuality of trains.

Duff's story of the Limerick station

Continuous Performance.
‘When the late flowers have been cut
down by the frosts it might be pre-
sumed that the time for garden activi.
ties is over. But as a fact, garden
work: fs never over. It is one continu-
ous performance that anticipates sea-

aration.is due the success of our sum-

has a sharp"knife. The handlest and
most satisfactory way to proceed 1s as
follows: Make a trench about four-

accommodate all the cuttings you
make. Make the cuttings a little long-

“Go ye into all the world and
preach the gospel to every crea-
ture,”—Matt. 16:15. and at the
night service, ‘Choose ye this day
whom ye will serve,”—Joshua 24:
15. Both sermions were ably de-
livered, and rarely enjoyed by all
present. Several visiting minis-
ters assisted in the services. Supt.
S.M. Lee and his corps of teach-
ers of the Sunday-school are pre-
paring to make the fifth Sunday
in this month a great "‘ Missionary
Day.” The day will be featured
also by ‘‘A Home Coming Event,”

meeting increases in attendance.
Both the devotional and literary
part of the program are most in-
teresting at each zseeting. The
Usion meets 7:30 o'clock each

tended a cordial invitation. The
church held a harmonious confer-
ence on last Monday night pre-
sided dver by deacon B. H. Max-
well, chairman of the deacon
board, and much business was
transacted. A call for 50c. from
each member on tomorrow (Sun-

expense. It is hoped that each
member will respond.

| ? st. Benedicts Church
Wednesday, November 19, was
a red letter day for the children
of St. Mary’s school. A big pea-
nut hunt had been arranged fo:
them by their devoted teachers,
Misses Gertrude Davis, Carlotta
Green and Carrie Elliot, parents,
and teachers, all have had ther
share in the fun and gay amuse-
ment-of the little ones. “Childrea
we all know must have from tine
to time some sweet and recreative
amusement. Is not the old saying
still true “‘All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.” ‘The
bow that is always bent, slackens
or breaks.” Nothing healthier
for ohldren thanj a little entei-
tainment where they can them-
selyes act the part of actors and
spectators. Managers and teach-
ers of both St. Benedict’s,and dt.
Marys schools have been always
anxious to render the school time
work of the children easy and in.-
teresting and profitable in ever)
respect, The monthly reports fur
October areexcellent. Many a pu
pil has climbed up to the top ut
the ladder and have her name pu
on the roll of honor. But wake
up, little ones I speak so those
who seem to be always slow in
every way in everything; they are
rather pulled by force than Ied by
self interest and love of studies.
Don’t forget children, now is the
acceptable time to sow the good
seed in order to reap later on a
hundredfold. Now you have at
hand golden opportunities to re-
ceive a good moral training and to
acquire the knowledge of many
things yery useful in life. Our
Springfield school at the Water
Works is in a very prospering
condition. Miss Frederica Camp-
bell is doing there yery excellent
work and the children are very
fond of her teaching and her
affable manners. St. Anthony’s

[a good standing and, the teachers,
