The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXIX 700 Homes Supplied By Urban League's Gifts 700 Homes Supplied By Urban League's Gifts BASKETS DISTRIBUTED BY LADIES IN RAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING Edibles, Shoes, Underwear Toys, Blankets Among the Articles Distributed—Each Basket Well Filled—Wagons Manned by the Ladies—Over Four Hundred Persons Subscribed to the Fund Never was charity so generously dispensed in this city as was the case this Christmas, and it is doubtless if there were a family among the indigent poor that was not in some way made to feel the blessings of the season through the charity of some individual or institution. Among the Negroes, the institution which distributed the greatest number of gifts to the poor was the Savannah Branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. This institution, through the money raised by popular subscription, sent out five hundred twenty baskets of food, seventy five pair of shoes, seventy five suits of underwear, blankets and toys. The packing and distribution of the baskets were left to a committee of about thirty of the leading ladies of the city, who had volunteered their services. These ladies had, two weeks ago, made a canvass for the town of the needy ones and therefore knew their routes well. These ladies were in charge of the fifteen districts into which the city was divided by the canvassing committee and each district was supplied with a horse and wagon to carry the goods. Each wagon was manned by at least two ladies, and regardless of the fact that an incessant rain fell during the entire day Wednesday, the day on which the goods were distributed, these ladies went about their tasks as cheerful as if they were working under most favorable circumstances. The distribution took in all just about three hours and when the wagons returned to headquarters, 1011 West Broad street, a vacant store owned by Mrs. L. A. Newton, one of the canvassers, who preffered its use free of charge, all of the ladies, with the exception of those fortunate enough to have covered wagons, were literally drenched to the skin. But what did they care about that, for their courageous acts of charity had made over 2000 persons happy who otherwise would, no doubt, not have been brought a ray of sunshine and happiness during the vuletide season. In each of the 520 baskets distributed were rice,4 pounds; flour, 4 lbs.; grits, 3 lbs: sugar, 2 lbs.; white meat, 1 lb.; coffee, 1-2 lb; and candy 1 lb; and apples, 3. In those baskets that went to homes where there were children, were also toys. Shoes to the number of about seventy-five pairs were given away and about an equal number of suits of underwear. Where baskets were sent, except in rare cases, Neither shoes nor underwear was left. A limited number of blankets also was distributed. Up to Christmas morning there had been paid to the Christmas fund five hundred thirty dollars ($530) with about $30 still to come in. The executive board of the league will meet at the Wage Earners' Bank 468 West Broad Street, Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock to receive the report of the Christmas fund. The following are those who subscribed to the fund: Mrs. John Lang, ..... Mrs. Henry Horne, ..... Ed. Campbell, ..... Mrs. Mayhew Cunningham, ..... Mt. Sier H.H.of R. No. 3588, ..... Mrs. A. Oemler, ..... Mrs. Joseph Logan, ..... Mrs. Gus Brown, ..... Mrs. Mattie Capelle, ..... Mrs. Kate Robinson, ..... SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1913 Charity Ball Next Tuesday Night ENJOYABLE EVENT WILL BE AT MASONIC TEMPLE Large Crowd Expected to Attend-Many visitors to be Present-Apollo Orchestra will Dispense Music-Proceeds to Charity Hospital Regardless of the excitement and rush of Christmas week, the charity ball which is to be given on next Tuesday night, December 30th, was not forgotten and on every side the affair was being spoken of. That a large crowd will be in attendance at this affair, which, by the way will be held at the Masonic Temple, is confidently expected and a large sprinkling of holiday visitors will be found among the attendants. This is the first real charity ball that the Negroes of the city have ever given, and the affair bids fair to be quite a success. Dr. C. C. Middleton, who is chairman of the committee on arrangements, has been untiring in his efforts to arouse a general interest in the affair. Proceeds from the ball will go to Charity Hospital, for the improvement fund, and it is thought that this fact alone, will induce many to attend who otherwise might not do so. Music for the occasion will be provided by the Apollo orchestra. The ball is a public affair, no invitations being issued, and the larger the crowd, the greater the receipts for charity.

NUMBER 15 Big Emancipation Celebration Thursd day Morning Big Emancipation Celebration Thursd day Morning FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH TO BE SCENE OF INTERESTING MEETING Parade to Begin at Ten O'clock from Gwinnett and West Broad Streets—Rev. J. L. Taylor to be Emancipation Orator—Commercial Progress of Race Will be Shown by Floats The fifty-first celebration of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by the immortal Abraham Lincoln will be commemorated in this city on next Thursday, the first day of January. The celebration will, in all prob. ability, be one of the greatest-demonstrations that the Negroes of this city have held since the last first of January celebration in which the colored state militia took part in 1905. The demonstration this year will comprise a feature which heretofore has not been attempted, that of floats depicting the progress which the race has made along commercial lines since its emancipation. Several of the leading Negro business concerns have gone to considerable expense to make this feature of the parade a success and the showing will undoubtedly be a much appreciated addition to the usual demonstrations. The parade in charge of Chief Marshal W. A. Daughtry, will form at Gwinnett and West Broad streets at 10 o'clock and headed by a brass band, will proceed north on West Broad to Gaston, then east to Price, north to Jones, east to East Broad, north to Broughton, west to West Broad, south to New street, west to Fahm, north to Bryan, and then east to the First African Baptist church Franklin Square, where the exercises will take place. The program which will be rendered at the church will probably be witnessed by a packed house. The main address will be delivered by the Reverend Junidus L. Taylor, rector of St, Stephen's Episcopal church, and the singing will be of the same inspiring nature as is customary at the first of January exercises. There will be a number of carriages in the parade, conveying the members of the association and their wives. The following is the program: Song, "All Hail the Power," St John's choir. Emancipation Address, Rev. J- L. Taylor. Solv., Miss Mae Stewart. Non, Miss Mae Stewart. Remarks, music and collection. Death The friends of Mr. Edw. W. Bell will regret to learn of his death which occurred on Sunday night, December 21st, at 11:45 o'clock. Mr. Bell was a young man who was esteemed and loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed. He was employed at the firm B. H. Levy Bros. and Co. for ten years. His employer and fellow employees were as kind to him as they could be, especially the colored help, during the time of his illness. He was a member of the Eureka Vid' and Athletic club. His funeral took place Wednesday morning, from St. Philip church, Charles street, of which he was a member. He leaves to mourn his death a devoted sister, Miss Madeline Bell, and three brothers, Messrs Frank, John and Alexander Bell and other relatives and friends. Nagle-Barnard Marriage Mr. Chas. W. Nagle and Mrs. Rosa C. Barnard were quietly married on Thursday evening December 17th, by Rev. R.H. Singleton, in the presence of a few friends. Both of the contracting parties are very popular and have a host of friends. Among the Masons The pure principles as taught and practiced by our ancient and honorable order will greatly aid in purifying, elevating and ennobling the lives of all men; but the young mer coming into the Masonic fraternity will receive a special blessing, for in them will be instilled and developed a veneration and love for the Deity and His sacred word, which will greatly strengthen their faith, and guide them safely through Life's journey in the paths of righteousness.—Bro. Wm. R. Hamilton, Idaho. To the new worshipful master: Do not try to make the acquisition of new members your principal effort. The maintenance of brotherly love or its restoration, if disturbed, should be the paramount care of the worshipful master at the door of his official career. If he can succeed in bringing harmony out of discord his administration will be an eaveslasting blessing to his lodge and to Masonry at large.—The Texas Freemason. A Mason should watch the affairs of his lodge closely, and not become indifferent and careless. POWER OF ATTRACTION When wespeak of magnes, our thoughts turn naturally to the little magic horseshoes which were the delight of our childhood, and which would pick up a needle or tack and hold it fast by a mysterious power which the wisest cannot explain, says an Exchange. But there are in the world human magnets with a power of attraction quite as wonderful as that of the little steel horseshoe for the needles. Some people are magnets of happiness. Continually they draw to themselves all sorts of simple joys. Your neighbor always has a good time. You wonder why. The reason is that she is a magnet. Bright, pleasant, enjoyable things are irresistibly attracted to her. Sympathy is so strong in some people that it acts as a magnet on all who need sympathy. People in trouble come with their story of things that have gone wrong and go away strengthened and cheered. It costs something to be a magnet of this sort. The giving out of help and courage is a drain on one's resources. But it pays after all. There are no more blessed lives than those which draw to them the discontented and the needy to give cheer and help. Since one can be a magnet of happiness or a magnet of helpfulness, it is strange that any one should be willing to be a magnet of an opposite kind. But the person who is suspicious and critical, who is always anticipating snubs and unkindness, is a magnet of unhappiness and discontent.—Selected. THE WAGES OF A FELLOW-CRAFT The wages of a Fellowcraft are to be earned. First of all he learns that he must earn it step by step, till he reaches the inmost chamber of truth. There he learns that his work is naught if it has not been earned in consecration and trust in God. He learns that the means by which he enters this chamber of truth has been in accordance with the divine plan. "Knock and it shall be opened unto you; ask, and ye shall receive," In this chamber of truth he learns that he must be exact in dealing with his fellows—he must give to every one under him that which is his of right. He learns that to aid a worthy brother is not merely giving of money for immediate use; but that he has sought the opportunity to reprove in love and kindness, and to say an encouraging word at the right time—words are often more beneficial than money or other material relief. But the great personal benefit which he here learns is that he is a part of a great company of brothers; that whether he is a home or in foreign lands, a brother is at hand, and that there is always an open door for him to enter and earn the wages of a Fellowcraft; that he cannot "lose his job" in any country of the civilized world. NABROWQESH Strange that some persons seem to want everybody to be alike! The world would be rather monotonous if it were so. It must mean a broaded grasp of life to enter into the feelings of many others, and look at life from as many viewpoints as we can. We have seen again and again the person who raises the eyebrows with an expression of hopelessness at the discovery that some other is from a different section, has a different work in life from his or gives the more important place in life to things he deems unimportant. It would seem a happier way to look closely at and enjoy the unusual beauty of any life, however different from ours, so that it has a pure purpose—to rejoice to see every man fit into his particular niche in life and fill it well. The machinery of life needs big, heavy substantial wheels and more delicately wrought, more ornamental ones. Why should we be narrow and ungenerous enough to want everybody to measure to one "set" idea? Certainly the world is still large enough, still has room enough for each of us to possess and carry all out with us in individuality. —Orphan's Friend. THE TRUE DUTYs The Grand Master of Vermont emphasized the true duty of Masonic lodges, even though burdened with debts for new buildings, when he said: "To such lodges, your Grand Master desires to say, that the relief of worthy distressed Masons and their families is the first duty of the true Mason. To refuse charity because your Masonic building is not paid for is to neglect your greatest duty for selfish reason," DUTIES OF OFFICES: There are three things which officers of lodges should feel them selves in honor bound to do, viz: Firstly: They should be in their places promptly, and see that their lodges open on time. Secondly: They should learn and do their work to the very best of their ability. Thirdly: They should be watchful and zealous as to the reputation of their lodges and should not hesitate to enforce discipline against wilful offenders.—Masonic Herald. The Herald has the correct idea as to duties of officers of lodges, and unless they are willing to perform their duty they should never accept office. To the list enumerated above another duty might very properly be added, addressed particularly to the Master: Do not allow private piques and quarrels to be brought into the lodge under any pretense, because nothing is as certain to destroy the harmony so essential to the welfare of the organization,—Masonic Chronicle. MASONRY'S PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE. Freemasonry has always taught its initiates by symbols and emblems which should make lasting impressions on the mind and improve the life. Originally it came forth as a friend of religion, to assuage the ills and wrongs that afflicted the people in the midnight of idolatry, and now, after the lapse of ages, it comes to us covered with the trophies of love and good will to man—the pride and admiration of the world. Now its wreath is the garland of love, its raiment is spotless as whitest snow, its laws are tolerant and just, its purpose are holy, its escutcheon is untarnished, and its history is without a blot. What a noble and sublime record to present to the world after the lapse of centuries, and what an evidence and assurance that the Institution will continue with the culture of civilization and refinement until the end of time.1—John W. Brown in Square and Compass. WEARING OUT. Let us not be at all disheartened if we find ourselves wearing out, for to wear out is but one of the natural processes of life. Only let us make sure that we are wearing out over something that is worth while.—Phillips Brooks. A Fatal Disease. A celebrated general once inquired of one of his soldiers the cause of his brother's death. "My brother dled, slr," replied the soldier earnestly, "because he had nothing to do." "Well, my man," said the general, "that is reason enough to kill the greatest general of us all." As It Struck the Small Boy. "Father, are generals brave men?" asked Johnny of his parent. "Yes, my son, as a rule, I think they are," was the answer. "Then why do artists always make pictures of them standing on a hill miles away, looking at the battle through opera glasses?"—London Tit-Bits. Child Management- I don't like punishments. You will never torture a child into duty, but a sensible child will dread the frown of a judicious mother more than all the rods, dark rooms and scolding schoolmistresses in the universe.—White. Milady's Mirror All signs of approaching age are pathetic, but sagging muscles proclaim so unmistakably the wasting of the tissues that they always seem particularly so. They are inevitable, but there is much that a woman can do to ward off these signs. As a matter of fact, any woman can grow old so gracefully that even to quite an advanced age the flesh may be prevented from sagging and lines be kept from seaming her face. If you wish to preserve the contour of the face, prevent the muscles from stretching, like wormout rubber bands, the chin from doubling or trebling itself, and to keep a strained, tired look from creeping into the eyes, cultivate cheerfulness, even if it does not happen to be natural to you. Try also to keep your illusions as long as you can and as many of them as you can. Danish worry and ill temper, turn from all petty annoyances, do not allow yourself to be the least bit interested in sad events or happenings. Sadness tends to keep the muscles relaxed, particularly those around the mouth and eyes. A woman who is sad and has a wristrise disposition will age long before her time, and all the massage treatment, with application of ointments and creams, can do little to ward off this aged look. The flat muscles of the cheeks relax, and this soon leads to deep ridges and furrows about the jaw and the chin. In turn the eye muscles are pulled down, and the result is a hargard, unhealthful look. It is generally admitted that two persons living together often become alike in many ways and habits. Their manners become so pronounced that even others notice it. The same thing may be said of a woman's thoughts. If they are pleasant they reflect in her face, and the result is a pleasing personality. A pleasant and happy disposition has a great deal to do with the making and keeping of firm flesh. A woman who is cross and becomes preeved over trivial matters usually has a firm look about the mouth and chin. This firmness strains the muscles under and about the chin to such an extent that when there is the slightest relaxation the flesh about those parts becomes baggy and loose, double chin often resulting. Keeping Nails Attractive. In nowise is neglect of the person so readily apparent as in badly kept nails. Neither can the manicure alone be held responsible for their care. On the contrary, if a woman desires she can dispense with the manicurist's services, save perhaps once or twice a month, and still have nice nails. Nails grow rapidly and respond readily to treatment. If they are ill shaped give them almond shaped tips that are most attractive by shaping them carefully with the little sandboards. Use fine pumice powder to subdue the roughness or to reduce the little ridges that sometimes appear, and employ the scissors as sparingly as possible. Use them not at all upon the nails themselves, but merely for clipping the ragged edges of the cuticle around the base of the nail. Push back the scurf skin to show the coveted "half moons" with the aid of the orange wood stick. To make white spots on the nails disappear, spread over them at night a paste made of turpentine and myrrh, mixed in equal parts, and remove the following morning with a little olive oil. A bruised nail should be plunged into hot water and held there for fifteen or twenty minutes. Many of the vaunted powders and rouges cause the nails to become brittle so that they are constantly breaking, so as far as it is possible it is wise to avoid these. Plain petroleum jelly or olive oil will answer every purpose of the pomade, and, as for rouge, it is not in good taste to tint the nails very deeply, and if they are healthy and their possessor is in good physical condition, they will be pink enough without the aid of the cosmetic. There is no harm, however, in applying a little carmine. Mix it with fresh lard, and, if desired, perfume it with a drop or two of oil of violets. Health and Beauty. "For red eyelids there is nothing so beneficial as strong salt water," says a beauty doctor. Mix this about one teaspoonful to a glass and bathe the eyelids with it. It acts as a tonic to the lids and is particularly beneficial to eyelids that are troubled with styes or granulation. One very prolific cause for women's wrinkles is the raising of brows, frowning, screwing up of eyes and mouth when talking. This habit ages far more quickly than years. When women practice facial repose there will be fewer wrinkles. The eyes and mouth are the only features intended to show expression. A famous lotion of colonial days, known as "morning dew," consisted of one ounce of rose water, half an ounce of glycerin, half a teaspoonful of borax and three drops of benzoin. The quantities may be multiplied if a greater amount is needed. The lotion is applied to the chapped face, made rough from wind or exposure, with a bit of old linen. MEN TAKE NOTICE!

The men 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 turn 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 side 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 cocoanut 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: Boil 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 ice 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. 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. Halibut and Potato Cakes. Break left over halibut into flakes, mix these flakes with mashed potatoes. Add a small piece of butter and a seasoning of salt and pepper. Form the mixture into cakes and fry in hot drippings. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED [This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] In many sections the apple scab is worse this year than it has been for several years. If the golden wax beans are planted at suitable intervals the family table may be kept supplied with this fine vegetable until frost comes. 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 Episcopallan 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 borse 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 basketfuls. 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. It is indeed gratifying to note the hold which the booster spirit, now a recognized part of our new citizenry, is taking upon each and every Savannahian. Boys and girls, men and women, young folks and old folks, all, seem to be catching the spirit that makes one not only work for Savannah but walk and talk about it as well. It is of genuine satisfaction to us to note the eagerness with which our people have entered this campaign to turn all eyes toward Savannah." On every side, can be heard expressions indicative of a deep-seated desire on the part of our people to work heart and soul and body too, for our city's upgrowth. This is indeed a happy condition and brings out in bold relief the fact that our people are becoming more and more interested and identified with all movements that have to do with civic righteousness and material prosperity of our community. It is the earnest wish of The Tribune that the booster spirit will grow among us to such an extent that it will become, as it were, a part of our very make-up. We believe that December tenth will remain a memorable day-in the history of our fair city and that our people will do their full part toward making the welkin ring for our Savannah. ; Among the many undesirables who are found among us, few if any prove themselves to be more obnoxious to the well meaning and self-respecting people of our community than the truckler. As his name implies, he is ever ready and willing to bow compliantly to the will of his master. He neither thinks nor acts for himself. No standard code of ethics is his. His only law is the will of his master whose whims and caprices are satiated through his agency. He can be made to drink when he is not thirsty. Nothing is too low for him to stoop to, if it is the will of his master, that he so act. Under the leadership and direction of his chief, he stalks about in the night, danger in hand inflicting promiseous blows to his designated objects. No institution nor man is too high to escape the fury of his mad march of destruction, if his master so opines. Think of him a trained schemer and a trickster must he be. There can be found among us quite a few of these trucklers who follow in the wake of a leadership so selfish and dictatorial as to allow no freedom of action in the individual. Blinded either by fear or indifference as to consequences, with all conscientious scruples lost to them and with the eyes of their master ever resting upon them, these individuals labor with apparent assiduity for the cause which they represent. Little if any consideration do they give to the moral phase of any question or issue: with them it is to do as their master bids them to do whether it be for good or for evil. Such individuals as these, judged by their actions, are deceived of all sense of honor. They possess no manhood whatever. Cringing cowards are they, more humble in their subserviency than the Friday of Robinson Crusoe fame ever dared to be. Away with them, should be the slogan of every honest, self-respecting individual. In great and favorable contrast to the slinking sycophant who rides in the dark and hurls his weapon of devastation and ruin by design of his master, is the individual who stands up for the right regardless as to who is insulted thereby. These are they who will not acknowledge or acquiesce to any leadership whose morals are questioned or whose public actions are not above board. Thanks to our stars there is a growing tendency among us to divorce ourselves of any alliance, however entangling it may be, whenever the same smacks of too much selfishness, narrow mindedness or bigotry. More and more are we learning to discern and ap- preciate the qualities of true leadership. More and more are we ready to turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of those whose friendship is founded upon the principle of self aggrandizement and individual despotism, and whose future growth sooner or later must depend solely upon the succor which it may receive from the puppets of its own creations. It is our own conviction, that a new era is about to dawn among us. The veil which it has been our want to wear, has been lifted from our eyes and we now see clearly. In the meantime, the bed of the truckler together with that of his master is being made uncomfortably hard. And why not? Do they not deserve this? Are they not the creatures of their present situation? These questions we leave to a candid world for consideration.

Let everybody, in the mean time, have a good old time and then when duty calls upon us again, may all come back to school with new courage and fresh energy. Our friends and members of St. Benedict's will be glad to hear that Father Lissner, the provincial, has arrived in New York from the old country, a fortnight ago. Before coming to his headquarters in Savannah he is visiting. Baltimore, and Richmond where he has good and generous friends who in need are good friends to Georgia's missions indeed. He is paying also a pop visit to our missions of Augusta, Atlanta and Macon and then will probably surprise us by stealing in one day in our dear old city of Savannah, where we all will be glad to welcome and greet him after his long interesting trip to Labelle, France, his birth place, the classical country of Alsace Lorraine. A very happy New Year-to all with many happy returns.

With the exception of May, which is considered an unlucky month, and Lent, the quiet season, there is no time of the year when wedding ceremonies are not constantly taking place. As might be expected, the preparations for a wedding take up not a little time and forethought. There are so many small details to be considered, various minor points of etiquette to notice, and a hundred and one things to remember if the actual day is to be gone through by all concerned without hitch or inconvenience. The magnificence or simplicity of the ceremony depends, of course, on the worldly position of the bride and bridegroom, though certainly the present day tendency is toward a rather disproportionate display, as every year presents become more numerous and costly, the bride's trousseau more elaborate, while immense sums are expended on decorations, catering and such like items. The popular fashion of white satin and orange blossoms for the bride's attire still holds its own, though there are occasional innovations made such as the wearing of gold or silver brocade and touches of color on the train, while quite recently, instead of the usual white bouquet or sheaf of lilies, the bride carried a great bunch of crimson roses. For winter weddings muffs of fur, lace and chiffon have replaced the flowers, or sometimes a prayer book bound in white and silver. The invitations are sent out a full three or four weeks beforehand in the name of the bride's parents, the bride-groom supplying a list of those of his own friends whom he wishes invited. As regards the bouquets, those of the bride, bridesmaids and bride's mother are supplied by the bridegroom, who also pays all fees connected with the ceremony. The cost of the reception and the carriages for taking the bride and guests to church are provided by the bride's parents, but the bridegroom pays for the carriage or motorcar to the station after the reception. At one time it was considered incorrect for a widow to be followed by bridesmaids on the occasion of her second marriage, but this rule is often broken. Sometimes, however, the custom of a "matron of honor" is followed instead. The number of bridesmaids varies considerably, four to six being most usual, but two, ten or twelve, or in their place several small children, are often seen. The chief bridesmaid holds the bride's conquet and gloves during the service, and all the bridesmaids and the parts on both sides follow to the vestry for the signing of the register. Jep Your Hands Quiet. The hands of some people seem to have acquired the secret of perpetual motion. A girl who has this fault should set about conquering it immediately if she does not want to do damage to the nerves of those who have to be with her and wreck her own. The instant she realizes that she is pulling at her hair combs, or collar, or giving her belt a vicious jab, let her stop and hold her hands fixed in her lap, no matter what effort it requires. Look about in the theater, or tea room, or street car. Hardly a girl has her hands in repose. Most are tugging at some article of dress as they talk, or, what is worse, fingering the dress of a companion. The manager of an office where there are many girls had to put up a notice that clerks must not touch articles on her desk when they came to speak to her. She says that one when making a report would pick up a pencil and draw weird figures on the desk blotter. The next hooked paper clips together, making a long chain that the manager had the work of unhooking; another tapped the desk with a pencil during her conversation. In short, scarcely a girl came and stood beside the desk with quiet hands. The wall around a public telephone is another indication that most people while using the line must still be working with their hands, for always there is a mass of pencil scratchings as far as the hand can reach. When Introduced. It is a duty to listen attentively to the name of one who is introduced. Avoid all mistakes by asking politely for the name that you have not heard or that has been mumbled by a thoughtless introducer. "Will you tell me again your name? I was not quick enough to hear it." is a graceful little way of correcting an error. By all means do not guess at a name, nor do not conclude that a man and woman who enter a room and are introduced together are necessarily married. A guest has no right to refuse an introduction under the roof of a hostess who has invited many persons whose private feelings are naturally unknown to her. A courteous acknowledgment, even between unfriendly ones, is due your hostess. After the police, formal acceptance of an introduction a separation can be effected. But don't forget to save others the embarrassment of an ill-bred display of personal feelings. OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA Rev. T. W. Walker, D. D., Press.

The defense tore down the allegations of the prosecution and the girl involved, who spent some time on the stand, made contradictory statements at the very start caused doubt to exist as to the truth in the case. J. L. Bird, the father of the girl, s a prisoner in jail, charged with shooting Young. Bird claimed he shot Young in an effort to prevent his escape. Young denied the charge and said he was shot without provocation. It is the first time such a case has been tried in Ware in years and is one of the few cases of record where a Negro was turned loose after being charged with such a crime. HARVARD AGAIN ELECTS NEGRO AS CLASS ORATOR A. L. Jackson of Englewood. N. J., an Athlete, Chosen-Three Other Jersymen Honored Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 10.

The three cotton gins at Boley, Okla., an exclusive colored town, have been running full capacity, and are earning a splendid dividend for the colored men who own them. Vernon, Okla..is a new exclusively colored town in Oklahoma on the Fort Smith & Western Ry., which is rapidly growing. It has now a population of over five hundred.

Within sixty days after opening up for business in Paducah, Ky., the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., had over six hundred policies in force. It is predicted that the stock of the company will be at a premium in six months. The Equitable Insurance Company is a new company recently organized by colored men in Muskogee to do business in that state. Although it is but about sixty days old the company is writing policies rapidly. It is backed by some of the strongest, financially, and best experienced colored men in Muskogee. A colored school teacher, living near.Guthrie, Okla., was recently offered one hundred thousand dollars for a piece of land which cost him less than a thousand dollars. An oil well has been recently opened on his land that is bringing him in an income of $50 per day net. Accounting it a matter of state pride, the Negroes of Oklahoma are already furbushing up, airing out and putting the latchstring on the outside of the door for the National Negro Business League, which holds its fifteenth annual session at Muskogee, August 1914. In the larger towns, the leagues are discussing the care of the delegates and the entertainment of the League as a whole. Boley, the thriving little Negro town of three thousand inhabitants, is already laying plans to conduct a special party from Muskogee to Boley to have the Convention as a whole see this model Negro town. In some of the smaller towns Thursday, Friday and Saturday "Chief Outlantchee" A Thrilling Western Drama Matinees Mondays and Thursdays at 3:30 o'clock those local leagues that were dead are reviving; in others new leagues are being formed.

Henri, a quaint and shabby miser of threescore and ten, died in Paris some time ago the closest search for treasure revealed nothing more valuable than two shelves of dingy looking books, which were sold, with his few sticks of furniture, to pay his funeral expenses. When the buyer of the books examined his purchase he discovered, to his amazement, two volumes of rare value—absolutely unique in the whole history of books—every page in each of them consisting of a five pound sterling note of the Bank of England. In all there were $20 pages in the two books, a neat accident of $20,500.—Exchange. The Ugliest Beast. Probably the ugliest beast in the world is a monkey, a grewsome looking animal called the bearded saki. This is so utterly grotesque a beast that it would scarcely be safe to let a child or nervous person see it. The ugllness is not of an amusing kind, but of an evil, sinister nature. The beast has a sort of beard and a countenance unlike anything else in shape and lines. The monkey itself is not particularly savage, but is so hideous that the natives of its country, South America, say that no beast of prey, however hungry, will tackle it. Even a hungry jaguar will starve in a cageful of sakls.—London Mail. WILL POWER. WILL POWER. Nothing is impossible to the man who can will. "Is that necessary? That shall be!" This is the only law of success.—Mirabeau. The Coop. This hat is a mere coop. "Yes, John," said his wife sweetly, "and the cook has just flew it." The Making of a Song. "I understand you have taken to song writing." "Yes," replied the versatile man. "I'm told that there is a demand for something in accord with the tendency of the time; something simple and homely that shows the dominant force of the feminine nature, and which nevertheless depicts woman as claiming deep devotion." "Have you done anything in those lines?" "Yes; I have the finish of the chorus. It is as follows: "She hit me with a fence rail, but I love her just the same."—Washington Star.

It is but pride and self will which say, "Give me something huge to fight and I should enjoy that, but why make me sweep the dust?"—Charles Kingsley. In the course of an educational lecture the speaker made this assertion: "We owe much to heredity and environment." When he had finished and the audience had arisen a man whose knowledge of the dictionary was limited walked up to him and remarked: "You said in your speech that we owe much to heredity and environment. Now, I never heard of that firm before, and I know I don't owe them one cent."—National Monthly. 11. Surely Would. A drug clerk in a neighboring village was called to the telephone at an early hour one morning recently. "Do you keep carbolic acid?" inquired an anxious voice. "Yes, madam," responded the polite clerk. "Well, wouldn't that kill you?" And there followed the click of a receiver being hung up.—Chicago News. Useful Gifts Sensible Serviceable SCOTT BROS.
