VOLUME XXIX Churches Celebrate 126th Anniversary Churches Celebrate 126th Anniversary BRYAN BAPTIST AND FIRST A. B. CHURCHES REJOICE Former Began Last Monday Night,Latter Begins Tomor- row-Both Churches Will End Celebration Next Week-Oldest Negro Baptist Churches In Country Savannah, as is known by many persons, possesses the two oldest Negro Baptist Churches in the country, and in commemoration of their one hundred and twenty sixth anniversary these two churches will celebrate next week. The two churches that hold this distinction are the First Bryan Baptist church, Rev. Daniel Wright, pastor, and the First African Baptist church, Franklin square, the former having begun its nine days of celebration on Wednesday of last week, and the latter starting tomorrow. Both churches will terminate their celebration next week, the First Bryan Baptist ending on Wednesday night and the First African Baptist closing Friday night. During the 126 years, the First Bryan Baptist church has been served by eleven pastors, and the First African Baptist church has had seven pastors. The anniversary sermon of the First Bryan Baptist church will be preached Wednesday night by the Rev. P. J. Bryant of Atlanta, and that of the First African Baptist church will be delivered by the Rev. P. S. L. Hutchins, of Columbus, on Tuesday night. On page two will be found pictures of the first edifice established by the Negro Baptists, the likeness of Rev. Daniel Wright and an interior view of the First Bryan Baptist church, and on the opposite page will be found the program of the First African Baptist church. BILLY KING Mr. Billy King Now Has Charge of Star Theater Mr. Billy King, head of the Billy King stock company which has been playing at the Star Theater, for the past four weeks in now in charge of that theater and from now on will conduct his shows on a percentage basis. Mr. King is one of the best known Negro performers of the country and the patrons of the Star Theater will be pleased to know that he will have complete charge there. Mr. King's company is composed of 12 persons all of whom are real artists in their lines. Mr. King says that it is always his desire to give the public clean, wholesome, entertaining amusement and that he will bend every effort toward making his shows all that they should be. Mr. King while of southern birth, has lived most of his life in the north and west. He has put 22 years in the show business, was in charge of Richard and Pringle's minstrels for a number of years, played all during last summer at the Lyric theater, Kansas City, Mo., and is the only colored man to play the Sullivan Considine circuit. His show is here for an indefinite period. The Savannah Tribune Negro Segregation a Destructive Policy The news from Washington that the effort to segregate the colored and white clerks in the Federal Departments is checked, if not ended, must cause to rejoice every one who believes in fair play and square deal. Particularly to supporters of the Woodrow Wilson Administration, like myself, is the news welcome, for this attempt to draw caste lines in the very heart of the Government of the greatest of democracies founded upon the principle that all are born free and equal, constituted a grave blot upon Mr. Wilson's record besides laying him open to the charge of preaching a "New Freedom," but practicing a "New Slavery" for those upon whom Divine Providence, in its wisdom, has bestowed dark skins. But if we can rejoice over this reversal of a bad Federal policy, to our shame be it said that segregation goes on apace elsewhere. Nine Southern cities have voted to establish the Ghetto on American soil—though Augusta, to its credit, has just voted down this cruel and un-American proposition. It is a policy dictated by the most selfish of considerations, for it would make the progress of a race in an urban community depend upon land values. For once the commonest excuse for holding the Negro down—the false cry of race purity and of social equality—is put aside in favor of the new proposition that the Negroes must be confined to a given quarter lest by going elsewhere they depreciate the property of whites. Thus it is laid down that if a colored man would rise and secure for his children better light, better air, a better home in less crowded and sanitary quarters, he is thereby committing a social crime; that we must prevent his carrying out an ambition which we applaud in every other American, be he Jew or Gentile, Armenian or Russian or Pole or German, or pure American. We reprobate it in the Negro as if more contact with him were leprous. We can all sympathize with those whose property suffers in value by reason of color prejudice, but the whole history of our cities tells of the ruination of aristocratic quarters by the influx of trade, or of masses of immigrants; sudden changes in value are what every one faces who buys urban property. Losing money ought surely never to be an excuse for putting extra burdens on a race already heavily disadvantaged. Even in country districts the talk is now of segregations. In North Carolina there is a serious movement on foot to restrict certain communities to blacks and some whites. Both are to be denied the fundamental American right to go where one please and to live where one please unmolested as to one's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Here there is no question of injury to land values; the Negroes are good farmers, but are objected to because they are not comfortable as neighbors and in some cases dangerous as well. It is characteristic of the lack of statesmenship of the average Southern politician that no effort is made to grapple with such a problem in a statesmanlike way. No remedies are proposed beyond setting apart the races—the creation of Russian pales within which no one of the excluded color may move. There is no effort to suppress the lawlessness that may exist by an efficient State constabulary like that of Pennsylvania; no effort to enlist the best element among the Negroes to better conditions; no effort to improve and uplift the blacks and make them better neighbors; not even a plan to give them good schools. (In North Carolina the average school term is only 93 7-10 days a year, and the teachers receive on an average only $25.26 a month, and yet there are plenty of North Carolinians who say that the Negro is over-educated!) The only solution is a Negro preserve with barb-wire fences and sentries at all the gates at which crops are to be passed out and merchandise in. The mere proposal would be laughable if it were not so tragic—just as tragic for the white man, who sees only the destructive solution and not the constructive one, as it is for SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17; 1914 1 Rev D. Augustine Reid, who resigned the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church. Hospital Improvement Fund Growing TOTAL AMOUNT RAISED NOW $99.50 Many Improvements to Building Needed—Charity Ball Adds $48.00 to Fund—Those Who Recently Helped Cause Charity Hospital is making a strenuous effort to raise money for the "Improvement Fund" and up to date the amount received by the hospital is $99.50. The Charity Ball which was given at the Masonic temple last month swelled the fund considerable, as $48.00. were added from this source. The hospital is in need of many improvements and it is hoped that the friends of the institution will rally to its support and assist in raising the necessary funds. Those who recently subscribed to the fund are as follows: Previously acknowledged, $40.00 Donations Mrs. Legare - - - - 1.00 Miss Curtis - - - 2.00 Miss Gussie Benton - - 1.00 W. W. Warthen - - 1.00 the Negro who without a voice in his government, without the right to select even a school trustee, or to say how one dollar of his taxes shall be expended, wonders what his next burden is to be and prays that the white man's God may not finally take away from him the right to toil in peace and to rear his little children. For me it is hard to be patient with this thing called race prejudice because it is never constructive and always destructive; because, since it aims its venom at people who bear the heaviest handicap I know of, its servants are ever unfair and unmanly. In school, it is considered beneath contempt to strike a boy smaller than yourself or one who cannot fight on equal terms. In adult life we have nothing but scorn and contempt for the man who would strike a child, a cripple, or a woman. But a child racel! There is nothing you cannot do to it and win applause from the mob. The weaker it is the harder you can hit it. Strip it of its every right so that you have tied its hands behind its back and it is as helpless as the most delicate woman, and that is just the time to hit it again. You may strike below the belt if, you please. Why not? If the "nigger" fights back there is an easy remedy—lynch the brute, or burn him as at Coatesville. Who cares what Jesus would say? Do you? Oswald Garrison Villard. —Philadelphia Public Ledger. To Appeal for Old Folks Home To Appeal for Old Folks Home CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING FUND TO BE STARTED Three Additional Lots Purchased in East Savannah—Hope to Erect $5000 Structure—Meeting Wednesday Night Within the past month those who are behind the movement to establish a modern Olk Folk's Home have bought and paid for three additional lots in East Savannah, where it is hoped there will be erected shortly a substantial building for the use of the deepold persons of the race who have no one to look out for them The recent securing of these three lots gives the association behind the movements six lots East Savannah which are situated in a very advantageous spot and on which the $5000 building, which it is proposed will be erected, will command an excellent position. The money to erect this building is to be raised by free will offerings and contributions from the public and anyone wishing to assist the movement may send their donation to Mr. Robert E. Scott, 222 Park Avenue, east. A meeting of the association will be held Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the Congregational church and it is hoped that all those interested in the matter will be out. Colored Photographer in Town During the week a Negro photographer, Mr. J. W. Johnston of Dettoit, Mich., arrived in the city and will in the course of the next few weeks probably open a first class studio here. Mr. Johnston has had considerable experience in photography and will undoubtedly find considerable work here. He has already, done some work for several individuals and many of the Negro business houses. Mr. Johnston's decision to settle here will beyond a doubt be greatly appreciated by the local Negroes.

Teach the College Boys to Observe Sunday On account of the cries of the newsboys on Sunday morning, an ordinance was passed by the city council prohibiting the crying of wares before eight o'clock in the morning. Along this line efforts have been made to induce the boys to stop their sales after a certain hour. The moral effect of these boys being on the streets on this holy day is bad. Now, it is left to some of the students of the Georgia State Industrial College to violate this holy day by coming to the city and going even to the doors of the churches to sell a newspaper. Some of these boys are even on the streets late in the afternoon endeavoring to dispose of their copies. It is indeed a shame and quite a reflection on any institution and its faculty for permitting its students to desecrate the Sabbath day, especially so an institution of higher learning. The boys should be taught to respect the moral laws and the keeping of the Sabbath day holy. Mrs. W. J. White, Jr., Dead. By Silas X. Floyd The announcement of the death of Mrs. Mabel Forbes White, the wife of Mr. W. J. White Jr., managing editor and business manager of the Georgia Baptist, will bring sadness to the hearts of thousands and thousands relatives, friends and acquaintances throughout Georgia, the south, and the country She entered into rest on Tuesday morning, Jan. 6th at 9:30 o'clock; after an illness of some nine weeks. For six weeks of this time, she was an inmate of Burrus Sanitarium, where she received the skillful attention of Dr. G.S. Burrus Dr.G.N. Stoney, Dr.C.W. Cran. (white) and others and the best nursing. Young Mrs. White was born in Charleston S. C. about 33 years, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Forbes. She removed to Augusta in early childhood and grew to young womanhood in this city. Soon after finishing her course as a trained nurse at the Lamar Hospital in this city, she was married a little less than thirteen years ago to Mr. William Jefferson White, Jr., the youngest son of the late founder and editor of the Georgian Baptist. To this union two children were born, only one of whom survives—little Josephine Elizabeth White, who is now about 11 years old. The funeral services were held from the Union Baptist church in this city on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A number of years ago the deceased was baptized into this church during the pastorate of Rev. David Simpson Klugh. Following is the program which was carried out: "Lead kindly light" sung while entering the church: First hymn, lined by Dr. C. T. Walker, "Saviour, thy dying love thou gavest me." Prayer by Dr. C. T. Walker; Solo "Face to face." Mrs. Cora R. Porter; Reading of the scriptures by Rev. J. M. Nabrit, D. D. Quartet, "Crossing the bar" Haines school; Sermon by Rev. Thomas H. Dwelle. Solo, "Heaven is not far away" by Miss Octavia Campbelle. Remarks by Rev. Silas X. Floyd, D. D. Last hymn lined by Rev. J. M. Nabrit, "It is well with my soul." The pallbearers consisting of those members of the bridal party at the marriage 13 years years ago who now reside in Augusta and personal friends of the family were: Messrs R. G. Martin, Jr., M. J. Newton, W. H. Wilborn, W. J. Walker, Prof. P. H. Craig, Prof. L. E. White. A large concourse of sorrowing friends witnessed the exercise. A gorgeous display of floral tributes of various designs bespoke the love and sympathy of scores and scores of fireads. To the husband, to the little daughter, to Mrs. Caroline Forbes Battle, the only surviving sister and to the other members of the family the heartfelt sympathy of a great host is hereby extended. The ways of God are past our understanding. We do not know—we can not know—but our heavenly Father knows. He sees—He knows—He understands. We murmer not—we complain not—He knows.

During Pastorate Here He Has Done Much for the Community in General—Renovated Church through out and added 500 Members to Enrollment On the first Sunday in this month Rev. D Augustine Reid presented to the Second African Baptist church his resignation from the pastorate of that body, the resignation to take effect three months from date according to the Baptist polity. Rev. Reid, since he took up the work at the Second church in November 1910, has been of much service not only to his church but the community in general. He has been one of the leaders in the religious thought of the city, and has entered energetically into many general movements for the betterment of the Negro, notably the Old Folks' Home, the securing of a new public school for Negroes, the Urban League Christmas fund and boosting the Negro business enterprises. Upon coming to this city he found the affairs of the Second church in an almost chaotic condition, and the task-of raising the church to its former position among the religious institutions of the city was one which even an unusually energetic pastor would have feared to attempt. But Rev. Reid entered into his work full of life and modern ideas and how well he has succeeded may be known from the following accomplishments within the thirty eight months he has been here: Renovations to the church at cost of $5000.00 consisting of new flooring throughout the structure, metal ceiling, new roof, new carpets both in auditorium and lecture room, changed position of choir loft, concrete side-walks all around church and minor improvements. Besides this he has added 500 new members to the chuach roll, regained many of the old members and inaugurated up-to-date methods in every department of the church. A mortgage of $4000 on the church has been wiped out with the exception of $800 which will in all likelihood be raised by the first Sunday in next month. Rev. Reid is regarded by the community as a man of much force, an excellent talker, an untiring worker and a man whose life is above board. Rev. Reid has been extended calls one each from Massachusetts, Alabama and a professorship in one of the Baptist colleges. It is stated that he will probably accept the call from Alabama. The speaker at the afternoon meeting Sunday Jan. 18th will be Mr. E. W. Sherman of this city. These meetings last only one hour—4 to 5 p. m and the hearty singing of the men is a feature. Mr. Sherman will make an interesting talk and a cordial invitation is extended to all the men of the city to come and hear him. Evangelical Ministers' Union The Evangelical Ministers' Union met Tuesday at Asbury church, Rev. P. E. Curry, presiding Devotional service was conducted by Presiding Elder A. L. Sampson. After addressing the throne of grace the 2nd Psalter was read. Rev. Cargille and Rev. J'O. Iverson addressed the union. Rev. Iverson and Rev. Cargille both joined the Union. The Union will go to St. Philip Church, Charles and West Broad streets, for the installation. Rev. J.O. Iverson was appointed on the program committee. Next Tuesday will be sermonic report. can thank him that all things work together for good to them that love God.

It will chasten us and prepare us to meet accident on higher ground the next time. As Hannibal taught the Romans the art of war, so is all misfortune only a stepping stone to fortune.—H. D. Thoreau. Curious Cradles. "The Lapland baby's cradle," said a man who has traveled, "is its mother's shoe—its mother's snowshoe. This snowshoe is covered with skin and stuffed with soft moss. When so disposed the Lapland mother can hang her baby to a tree by the thongs. "The Indian baby wears a nose ring and a vell, and its cradle is a basket swung from its mother's head. "But the strangest cradle of all is the New Guinea baby's. The mothers of New Guinea bury their babies in the soft white desert sand up to the waist. This keeps them out of mischief. It is the only cradle they ever know." Humor From the Hospital. Perhaps the best story in Sir Edward Cook's "Life of Florence Nightingale" is that of a wounded Crimean sergeant who picked up a wounded comrade and stumbled back to camp. The rescued man turned out to be a general and waited on his rescuer in hospital. The latter, wrote Miss Nightingale, exclaimed: "Oh, general, it's you, is it, I brought in? I'm so glad I didn't know it was your honor, but if I'd known it was you I'd have saved you all the same!" Not as Bad as It Might Have Been: "Well, it's not as bad as it might be. When I begin carving at dinner now I always know that it will be my turn to eat before everything is so cold that it is tasteless." Chicago Record-Herald. Sunshine Is Egypt's Charm. Sunshine is Egypt's Charm. It is hard to make any one who has not been there feel the spell of Egypt, the enchantment of a land so full of the drowsy gold of romance and the witchery of the African sunshine. But somehow in Egypt one feels that he has come very near to the fountain of youth. You become a sun worshiper all at once. You forget that you ever had any care or trouble. Somewhere en route you become a lotus enter. Hoary old Egypt has a fascination. The Cairene mosques and bazaars get a hold on you. You enjoy the strange antitheses which constantly confront you on the "streets of Cairo"—every place is such a mixture of beauty, history and mystery.—Suburban Life. What We Owe to Baseball. What We Owe to Baseball. "To baseball, according to A. G. Spalding in World's Work, is due our athletic supremacy over the rest of the world. "Baseball," he says, "combines running, jumping, throwing and everything that constitutes the athletic events of the Olympian games. But above all it imparts to the player that degree of confidence in competition. that indefinable something, that enables one athlete to win over another who may be his physical equal, but who is lacking the American spirit begotten of baseball." The Spur. The chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do the best we can—Emerson Women Were Brewers. The brewing trade in England was formerly almost wholly in the hands of women. Until the close of the eighteenth century the preparation of ale for the household was reckoned among the duties of the mistress and her maids. The same custom prevailed in the brewing of ale for sale, and the "brewsters" or "alewives" long held a great part of the trade, both in town and country. Philologists will remember the termination that was feminine—the "spinster" the "sempster" and the "brewster." -London Chronicle. Tracing Back a Joke It is difficult to find the genesis of the funny story. You know the one of the lady who objected to the man smoking in the railway carriage. She plucked away his cigar and flung it out of the window. The man picked up her pet dog and burled it after his cigar because both dogs and cigars were illegal there. In a week end reading I have just found that story in Dostoevski's "The Idiot." told by a Russian who had fought in the Crimea. He was convicted of having stolen it from a newspaper. The story probably originated with Noah in the overcrowded ark. And it is good to think our ancestors laughed as heartily as we do.—London Opinion. An Unpleasant Encounter. "I was told Staylate had quite an encounter with Maude Brown's father?" "Yes, he did. He met the old man tacking home from the club just as he was leaving the house and in trying to avoid one another they both fell down the terrace and broke a seven dollar garden vase. And now the old man says he was assaulted by two burly ruffians, and Staylate doesn't dare to go near the house for fear he'll be recognized as both of them."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. THE HELPING HAND. Lend a word of cheer whenever you can to those who are struggling and despondent. It is a great thing to have a talent for appreciation. He can do much good in the world who recognizes the good other people are doing and tells them of it. More folk than most imagine are getting weary and downhearted because they seem to accomplish nothing. Chemical. In Prestbury churchyard, near Macclesfield, England, may be found the following epitaph on a chemist: Willie's dead—we're full of woe. We'll never see him more. He thought to drink of H²O. "Twas H²O." A Natural Curiosity. "Do you know what I do when a man offers me advice?" said the curbstone philosopher. "No." "Ask him if he's tried it."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dear, when shall I install you as the mistress of a dear little home?" "You may as well understand now first as last, John Henry, that there won't be any home on the installment plan."-Baltimore American. Juries In Germany. In Germany when the vote of the jury stands six against six the prisoner is acquitted. A vote of seven against five leaves the decision to the court, and in a vote of eight against four the prisoner is convicted. The Poet's Son. "Why, Freddy, how dirty you are, and only yesterday you wrote a verse for papa's birthday, promising always to wash your"hands clean." "Well, mamma, that was only a poet's license."—Flegende Blatter. Said What She Meant: Said What She Mean. "Oh, I am so nuffly ashamed of myself!" said Edith Jones to her dearest girl chum. "When Henry proposed to me last night I intended to say, 'So sudden!' and I quite lost my head and execlimed, 'At last!'" Berlin Butchers The butchers of Berlin have a curious way of informing their customers of the days on which fresh sausages are made by placing a chair covered with a large, clean apron at the side of the shop door.—London Telegraph.

Mr. Fortnit (gallantly)—Yes, but there are exceptions to all rules, you know.2Puck. A. Little Circle. Ethel—This crave for gold seems to me very foolish. Now, a very little would make me perfectly happy. Juck—How much? Ethel—Just enough to reach around my finger. Boston Transcript. A Defect. A little girl was playing with a girl friend of her own age on the porch of her home. An elderly gentleman, her mother's father, and an elderly lady, her father's mother, were sitting on the porch talking pleasantly with each other. The little girl had often wished her grandparents were of the same name, like other children's grandparents. Presently the little guest remarked, "What a nice grandmother and grandfather you have!" "Oh, yes," she said, with a sigh "but they don't match." Idleness Is Death. Most men cannot be idle and live. That sounds strange. It is true. It is a law of nature. If a man past forty leads an idle life the probability is that he will live to be fifty-seven years old. If he leads a harmonious and sufficiently occupied life he will live to be sixty-six. This is the experience of life insurance companies, which make a specialty of old age annuities. The figures tell the story. Idleness is harder on the vital organs of mankind than work. To be idle is to die. Philadelphia Ledger. Surprises For the Librarian Surprises for the Librarian. "No man gets a better insight into what people read than the public librarian, and a friend of mine, custodian of a library in a poor South London district, can cite many instances of a taste for the higher things of literature in unexpected places," says a writer in an English publication. "Among his regular borrowers are a policeman who specializes on sociology, a lavatory attendant who borrows little else but works on education and psychology, a commissionalite with a taste for abstuse theology and two rug and bone shopkeepers, one of whom studies only theosophy and Buddhism, the other only art." --- A good many important discoveries of one kind and another have been in a large measure accidental. In the way of illustrating the truth of this may be mentioned the attempt which will be made the coming season on a considerable scale to grow cotton in northern California. Less than a year ago the Southern Pacific employee who has charge of the pumping station at Roseville, Cal., 107 miles from San Francisco, got a handful of seed from a carload of cotton that was sidetracked at the point mentioned en route north from the Imperial valley. He sowed the seed in a garden spot near the station and was surprised to note how thrifty it grew. The bolls popped open, and the branches of the plant bent under the weight of the ripe cotton. Neighboring ranchers and others heard of his success in growing the cotton and have contracted for seed, with the idea of extending the experiment. This is likely to prove an interesting phase of the development of the cotton growing industry of the Golden State, whose output of cotton, chiefly from the Imperial valley, has increased from 100 bales in 1900 to 100,000 bales the past season. SOME INTERESTING COMPARISONS. That largest crop yields do not always net the grower the most money is shown very emphatically in a comparison of some of the staple crops of 1912 and 1913. In the case of the corn crop the total yield for 1913 is 22 per cent below that of the year previous, yet the growers will receive 6 per cent more for it, and this amounts to $100,000,000. In the case of potatoes, the past season's crop is at 40,30 per cent below what it was in 1912, yet it will net the growers $40,000,000 more than did the preceding year's crop. Cotton furnishes an even more striking instance of the truth mentioned. Although the yield of the past year's crop is put at nearly a million bales less than that of 1912, a decrease of 5 per cent, the growers will receive for it at 14 cents per pound, 22 per cent more than they did for the 1912 crop. This amounts to a cash increase of $125,000,000. CIDER SIRUP. An experiment is being made at Hood River, Ore., this winter that will be watched with much interest by apple growers everywhere who have the cull apple problem on their hands. In the experiment in question the sweet cider as it is extracted from the apples is evaporated until the residue is of about the consistency of thin sirup. This is canned and is said to keep for an indefinite time. On being diluted with water it is said to be in every respect equal to the original cider from which the sirup was secured. This matter of keeping cider sweet without preservatives has been a knotty problem—in fact, it hasn't been solved—and if the method referred to proves as satisfactory as the claims made for it apple growers of the country will have grounds for feeling elated. ORCHARD CARE PAYS That palstaking care in the spraying and thinning of fruit and in the selection and packing of it at harvest will pay in the New England states as well as out in Washington and Oregon is shown in the record of prizes won by a Mr. Sawyer of Salisbury, N. H., during two successive years on an exhibit of a single barrel of Baldwin apples. In trophies and cash these two barrels of apples have netted their owner $363. The fruit shown was from trees twenty-five years old that were set out by the owner when he was a lad in high school. About the only observation that need be made concerning these prize winning apples is that the orchard that produced them was not run as an incidental, side issue, calf pasture proposition. SKIMMILK FOR POULTRY. A contributor to an agricultural paper tells of an experiment he made in the feeding of skimmilk to poultry that proves its value in a very dofinite way. He divided sixty pullets into two even lots. One lot was fed skimmilk as a part of the ration, and the other was given water. The test began Nov. 1 and closed May 1. In this period of six months the stock that had been given skimmilk produced $52.65 worth of eggs at a cost for feed of $18.97. The stock that had been given water produced $30.94 worth of eggs, while their feed bill was $23.72. Buttermilk is nearly as good as skimmilk and either should be fed to the hens whenever it can be had. CATTLE ABORTION. A report recently issued by the bureau of animal industry of the federal department of agriculture calls attention to the serious nature of contagious abortion in cattle, a malady that ranks next to tuberculosis in the inroads it makes in the cattle raising industry. The cause of the disease has been discovered, and it has been found that the viruses can be introduced into the body of a cow in several ways. When a cow becomes infected with the disease her milk be comes poisonous to her offspring. A further interesting discovery in connection with the disease is that germs may be given off for years in the milk of cows that no longer abort. J. C. Piigg The Savannah Tribune Established 1875 By JOHN H. DEVEAUX Published by SOL. C. JOHNSON Editor and Proprietor Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Saturday, January 17. 1914. The year nineteen hundred and fourteen, fraught with so many mysteries and possibilities, has been a part of us now for a little over two weeks. As it is our wont from time almost immemorial, we have entered with the New Year with new determination and new resolves to do and dare far better in the future than in the past. Our fleeting but searching glances into our past, have revealed to us our short comings, our failures and our successes. We have done well here and there; we have failed in other places. Fully conscious of both our successes and failures of the past, we have entered the new year fully resolved to have the former preponderate the latter. As we look microscopically into the future and scan its horizon, we see great need for cooperation and constructive work among us. While it is true that we as a people made great progress during our fifty years of freedom, at the same time it is equally true that we have not lived up to our opportunities as they have been presented to us. This has been largely due, no doubt, to the fact that many of us have not awakened ourselves to a satisfactory consciousness of racial obligation which is and ought to be a part of each of us. The time is indeed at hand when there is need of the service and co-operation of every well meaning, well-thinking, race loving Negro in behalf of his people, if we are to hope to have and to hold our own in the fierce com petitive struggle for existence which must, of necessity, be a part of the year nineteen hundred and fourteen. As has been said before, there are indeed many possibilities which the year nineteen hundred and fourteen hold out to us. Will we grasp the opportunities presented to us during the year and make the most use out of them, ought to be a burning question within the breast of each one of us. There is indeed much to be done by us and much can be done by us. Let us, therefore, in our new year resolutions, see to it that there will be a determined effort on the part of each and every one of us to do his full share toward the moral, financial and physical uplift of the race with which we are identified. --- That every dark cloud has its silvery lining" is indeed typified in the present day activities of Oswald Garrison Villard. editor of the New York Evening Post, in behalf of our people and against discrimination, segregation and other unjust practices against us now so much in vogue in nearly every section of our country. As a champion of equal rights for the Negro, regardless as to his race, color or previous condition of servitude, Mr. Garrison is demonstrating the fact in a way unmistakable, that he is bone of the bone and flesh of the flesh of the great and freedom loving ancestry from which he hails. Not only has he attacked the dispensers of race hatred and discrimination as they are found in low places, but in high places as well. Even President Wilson has not escaped the fury of his wrath and indignation over the manifest sanction of the national administration of the segregation policy now in vogue in many of the governmental departments at the national capital. On the other hand, the inconsistency of the positions of President Wilson established through his preachments contained in his new book entitled "The New Freedom" and his present attitude of "hands off" anent the Negro problem, so wrapped up in his administration, has been held out in such bold relief by this fearless champion of equal rights to all that even the president himself has been made "to sit up and take notice" of matters hitherto lightly regarded by him. There can hardly be any doubt in the minds of any one that the grand and fearless effort now being put forth by Mr. Villard and those who believe with him in regard to the proper treatment of our people will be for naught. On the contrary, the blows which they are now giving anti-Negro legislation wherever found, is already beginning to have a telling effect. New and courageous friends are beginning to make themselves known to the race in nearly every part of the country. This is especially true in our own southland where the influence of Christian education and training as well as the presence of wise an conservative leadership is beginning to make itself felt as never before. Despite the hovering clouds which threaten us apparently on every hand, we believe that a new day in the history of the Negro is beginning to dawn upon us. We believe also that work of such men as Oswald Garrison is hastening the birth of this new day. As a race and as individuals, we ought to both recognize and appreciate the work of Oswald Garrison Villard and others who have the courage of their conviction to stand up and plead for justice to the Negro as it is meted to the white man. We ought to doff our caps to Oswald Garrison Villard and his fellow heroes of peace. May their good work go on uninterrupted until itstend is accomplished viz., the placing in the hands of the Negro a real guarantee of his unalienable rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in all of their various aspects. We have it upon good authority, though not officially, that The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools is to hold its annual meeting in our city next summer. We are informed that they have decided to come at the instance and upon the invitation of a single individual. This is unusual; they do not usually act so ill-advisedly. Now the Association of Colored Teachers has in its membership some of the most enignee characters of the race; among them we count some of our best friends and, generally, for the Association, its work and its members we have the highest regard. But we believe the association can hardly realize that it is coming to this city upon the personal invitation of a single man; the rank and file of its members are certainly not aware that the great army of teachers in this city and county do not know of their proposed coming; they can scarcely believe that the publication of this rumor will bring the first news of this secret. Moreover, the association will acknowledge that, though Savannah folk are hospitable, they are entitled to be apprised that they may expect guests to entertain. Are we too hasty or unduly excited? It may be the teachers of the city are not expected to entertain the National Association—it is barely possible that it has been figured that they are not necessary to the success of the meeting. If this this is true, then there is no issue, for we do not pretend to say that there can be no meeting without their support. We do say, however, that it is hardly probable that the National Association would be willing to come to our city if they knew (1) they had not been regularly invited and (2) the teachers of the city had no knowledge or part in extending the invitation. They would be warranted in assuming that both their work and entertainment would be far from satisfactory under such circumstances and they would not have agreed to come. Now, the source of all strife in organized effort among our people may be traced to irregularity of official conduct and leadership, i.e. the disposition of some individuals to ignore and transgress the rights of others; the exaltation and exploitation of the ego at the expence of the general good; in a word, "the big fish devouring the little ones." Now we are not prepared to say what stand the teachers will take in this matter, and we do not wish to influence them. Our comment is made upon the ground of public policy and expediency. We think also that in justice to the association, (which no doubt is very probably in ignorance of the irregularity of their invitation,) the matter should be definitely and clearly set before the public at an early date. We think, as a general proposition, that the local body of teachers, just as much so as an individual, have the common and ordinary right to say whom, where and when they will entertain. We think, also, that they will be abnormal creatures if they quietly acquience in such an ignoring and usurpation of private rights and privileges, and such a reflection upon their good sense. St. Benedict's Church Announcement Everybody is cordially invited to attend and patronize the grand fair to be held at St. Benedict's Church, East Broad and Gaston streets, from the ninth to twentieth of February. The scope of the work undertaken by the institution in question is a broad one and should appeal to all who have the welfare of the Colored race at heart. An average of two hundred children, eighty per cent. of whom are non-catholic, attend our St. Benedict's school where they are given an up-to-date education on the strictest moral lines. Petitions for admission have frequently been refused for want of accommodation. The Orphans' Home, of whose advantages Colored girls of all denominations participate alike, is another feature of our work here. From the results of the fair we hope to be able to enlarge and ameliorate the present buildings to meet crying needs, thus widening our sphere of influence in the interests of our Colored brethren. We, therefore, hopefully look for a helping hand or, at least, the friendly interest of those who have pledged devotion to a good cause, the betterment and uplifting of the Colored race in America.

Colored Millinery Store 464 WEST BROAD ST. FARM ORCHARD AND GARDEN BY F.E.TRIGG REGISTER, ROCKFORD, IA. CORRESPONDENCE SOLICITED This matter must not be reprinted without special permission.] A good share of the cork used throughout the world comes from Portugal, which harvests about 50,000 tons a year. Those few weeks of warm, foggy weather in the fall gave a good many householders the satisfaction of putting one over on both the iceman and the coal dealer. As a result of careful feeding tests it has been found that corn cut and stored as silage will yield 13 per cent more milk and 11 per cent more butter fat than a like amount of corn cut and fed as dry forage. The reasons for having a new model automobile are just as urgent as are those calling for the latest styles in women's dresses and headgear. Moreover, it takes a bit more coin to keep up with the procession. Timothy hay is not rated by dairymen as an economical ration in milk production, but where good yields of it can be produced and sold for concentrated foods having larger percentages of protein the plan should prove quite satisfactory. An unusual feature of the recent international live stock show was the winning of grand champion honors in the Shorthorn class by Ringmaster, a six-year-old animal that has won the same honors at two preceding live stock shows, those of 1910 and 1911. A friend who has tried it has found that his hogs do not do so well when fed on the swill from restaurants as when given a ration of buttermilk and corn, and this notwithstanding the fact that the scraps from these eating places contain a good deal of nourishing food. Deciduous trees are normally considered dormant during the month of December, but a freak condition of the present winter is shown in the sap running from a hard maple tree when hacked with an ax, together with a swelling of the buds to a size far beyond what they ought to be. A country less made a snug sum of money the other day as a result of a dicker with her father, he having agreed to pay her the market price for all the corn she could husk in a day. She took him at his word and by nightfall had gathered fifty-eight bushels, for which she received 60 cents a bushel, or $34.80. Fresh air in the schoolroom is just as vital a factor in efficient educational work as are competent teachers and up to date schoolbooks, maps and other equipment. However, in spite of the fact that it costs a whole lot more in the loss of efficiency to have a schoolhouse poorly rather than properly ventilated, all too many belong in the former class. In the national egg laying contest recently brought to a close at Mountain Grove. Mo., the first prize for best individual record was made by a rose comb White Leghorn pullet raised at Maryville, Mo., her output of eggs for the year being 200. She welghed but two and three-quarter pounds, and the eggs she laid, during the year welghed twelve times her own weight. German chemists are said to have perfected what they call soy milk, which is manufactured from Chinese beans. The product is used quite extensively by peasants and is said to be very nourishing. A Belgian chemist has produced an imitation of meat, made from yeast and vegetable products. It is similar to flesh in texture and, to some extent, in taste and is a good deal cheaper. Professor Scott, forester of the Kansas State Agricultural college, recommends very strongly the planting of the Chinese arbor vitae as a windbreak in the western counties of the state. During the past twenty years, he reports, they have withstood the somewhat trying climatic conditions without serious injury. Under favorable conditions the trees will attain a height of thirty to forty feet and will be from twelve to eighteen inches in diameter. If your roosters begin crowing too early in the morning you may shut off the disturbance by putting them in coops so low that they can't stand up, for a rooster can't crow unless he can stand up and stretch his neck. The truth of this fact most every small boy has proved when he has thrown cobs at roosters as they have started to crow, the dropping of the head and effort to run away putting a damper on the crowing apparatus in a very entertaining fashion. Eure maple simp en route from producer to destination, plainly labeled as to contents, seems to be just about as liable to raiding by those through whose hands it passes as are watermelons in a community with a low grade of colored population. The losses of sheep from disease the past year are put at 2 per cent less than for the year preceding and from exposure at 10 per cent less than for the preceding year. Applied to the aggregate number of animals and values on Jan. 1, this means a loss of 2,559,000 head, valued at $10,082,000. The trap nest, which has no doubt been of great service in helping to determine the hens that really are the largest egg producers, is not feasible for those poultry keepers who are not able to make frequent visits to the poultry house so as to release the hens after their eggs are laid. Albert Lea, Minn., has an agricultural department that is rendering a distinct service to the farmers of the adjoining territory in that the instructor in charge, Professor Hedgecock, has been largely instrumental in arousing interest in and in organizing one of the four cow testing associations of the county. A well known eastern poultryman in a recent address before the Connecticut Agricultural college recommended the use of plain tallow as far superior to coal oil as a material for greasing the roosts for the warding off of lice and mites, for the reason that one treatment a year would be effective, as the tallow does not evaporate as does kerosene. A very effective as well as satisfactory method of heating small houses is by means of a bricked in stove placed in the cellar. Not only is much dirt kept out of the living rooms in this way, but a maximum value of fuel consumed is realized. Besides this, a pretty plain stove can be used in the cellar, which wouldn't do at all were it to be set in the parlor. The hog breeder who for several years has won first prize on barrows at the international live stock show and who got first at the recent show on an eighteen months' old pig weighing 500 pounds uses oilmeal exclusively to furnish the protein needed to balance the grain rations which he gives his hogs. This is in the nature of expert testimony and should have a suggestion for those who have the hog feeding proposition on their hands. The turkey is said to be the only domestic fowl of the present day that can properly be credited to America. The fowl was discovered by Pedro Nino, a Spaniard, on the coast of Cumana, north of Venezuela, in 1499, and the following year was taken to Spain. Turkeys were raised in large numbers by the Aztecs and other people of Mexico and Central America. By 1570 turkey had become the accepted Christmas dish of the English farm, and a half dozen years later was introduced into France. The farmers in Grant county, Wis. have inaugurated a plan for the cooperative grinding of limestone that might well be followed in other sections of the country where lime is needed for the sweetening of sour soils. The work is being done under the direction of the State Agricultural college. A small portable outfit, consisting of engine and crusher, is being used, which can be readily transported from one neighborhood to another. Large deposits of limestone beneath the surface soil make the undertaking a relatively simple one. It is not generally known that, when properly cooked, the sugar beet makes a palatable article of food for the table. It contains from 15 to 17 per cent of sugar, while the common red garden beet contains but from 10 to 12 per cent of sugar. Some one who has tried them suggests the following methods for cooking: Wash the beets, but do not remove the skin, leaving a portion of the top on so as to retain the juices. Cook in boiling, water until tender; then peel and quarter or cut into slices. Make a suce of melted butter, pepper and salt, pour over beets and serve hot. In a certain county in Kansas they have been improving some of the main roads, and a farmer who uses one of these improved highways in hauling his produce to market has figured out that he saves enough in one day's hauling to pay his share of the increased road tax. Before the road was improved he used to haul one load of fifty bushels of grain a day. Since the road has been improved he has been able to haul two loads of seventy-five bushels each. This would seem to be a simple yet forceful object lesson, showing the value of better country highways. It is safe to assume that potato growers of the country will very generally support the action of the federal horticultural board in placing an embargo on potatoes from Canada and those European countries where the black wart and powdery scab have attacked the potato crop. There would be small advantage coming to the consumer if, to relieve somewhat the high prices for potatoes prevailing for the present winter, diseased foreign tubers were admitted only in the end to contaminate American fields and restrict in a large measure the output of marketable potatoes, resulting in a permanent advance in prices. SOME FOOD VALUES. SOME FOOD VALUES. One exhibit at the national dairy show held some weeks ago in Chicago was both unique and interesting. It was arranged by the Milk Producers' Association of Northern Illinois and consisted of an exhibit of a dozen different kinds of foods, including milk, eggs, beef, fish, nuts and several kinds of fruits and vegetables, the amount of each article shown being that which was required to furnish the amount of nutriment contained in one quart of milk, the cost of the several articles being based upon current retail prices. The exhibit was illuminating and instructive and doubtless had suggestions for those heads of families who are a bit perplexed with the high cost of living problem. The cost of the twelve articles shown is given in the following decimal fractions of a dollar: Milk...08; eggs, 29; beef, 148; codfish, 141; cornmeal, 009; potatoes, 026; cabbage, 10; oranges, 226; apples, 092; bananas, 10; prunes, 001; nuts, 163. From these figures it will be seen at a glance that far and away the cheapest food article of the list is cornmeal, which costs but one-third as much as potatoes, while the latter food costs but one-third as much as milk. Milk on the other hand, at 8 cents a quart, costs less than a third as much as eggs at 35 cents per dozen. Cabbage and bananas' cost the same, prunes about two-thirds as much as these, while meat and fish cost about the same and nuts a trifle more. Eggs were the most expensive food shown, and oranges rank next to them. A SERIOUS PEST. For a good many years the onion was considered practically pest free, within recent years what is known as the onion smut has spread to many sections of the country, at its worst being so serious a handlecap as to render the culture of the vegetable unprofitable. A serious feature of this pest is that the spores of the fungus are not eradicated from the soil by crop rotations covering a period of five years. The disease is spread by the tools with which an infected field is worked more than by the seed. Large growers in some sections have found effective a solution made by diluting 40 per cent formalin in thirty gallons of water and applying with a drip attachment on a seed drill at the rate of from 500 to 700 gallons of the solution per acre. MORE EGG LAYING CONTESTS. MORE EGG LAYING CONTESTS. Within the past three or four weeks new egg laying contests to run a year have been started at both Storrs college, Connecticut, and at Mountain Grove, Mo. The remarkable interest that has been aroused among poultry ralsers everywhere in these contests is shown in the fact that in the contest which is being conducted in Missouri there are entered six pens of layers from New Zealand, three from Australia, two from Canada, three from England, one each from Germany and South Africa, two from Vancouver and sixty-six pens from the United States. The world's record for egg production is held by a pen of six Australian birds that averaged 264.8 eggs each during a year. PIG PROGRESS. With a view to increasing the interest of Oregon farmers in growing hogs, the Portland Union stock yards has agreed to furnish a young pig to every school in the state that will take care of one. The gift is made on the condition that some pupil in each school shall keep an accurate record of what the pig eats and how it is cared for. The company further agrees to buy the pig back when it is ready to market and pay full price for it. An Oregon paper, in speaking of the plan, remarks that in ten years it will not be surprising if every country school in the state is not only supplied with pigs, but with a flock of poultry and one or more dairy cows. The idea would seem to be a capital one. BREAK UP THE SUBSOIL. While theoretically a farmer gets erything in the air above his land in the earth beneath, he seldom actually uses more than six inches of the surface soil. The productive period of many a farm could be extended were deeper plowing to be resorted to on such farms and upon those where the soil is plowed more shallow still. Deep plowing would not only break up and mellow the subsoll and thus make available its fertility, but would increase the capacity of the soil to retain moisture during a protracted dry spell. Many a farmer appreciates the facts stated and by deep plowing has increased his farm value by a half without adding to the number of his acres. CARE OF THE LAWNS. We usually think of care of the lawn as extending over the period between the first and last, cuttings of the season. The average lawn, where the grass is clipped and removed, needs care besides this that is all too seldom given. This consists in giving it at intervals of not more than two or three years a generous top dressing of well rotted manure. This should be applied after the ground is frozen solid and should be allowed to remain until spring, when the coarsest of it may be raked off. The fertilizing elements will have leached into the soil, and the finer particles of manure will have settled down into the roots of the grass. J.E.

Text of the Lesson, Luke x, 25-37. Memory Verse, 25—Golden Text, Mark xii, 31—Commentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The record of the good Samaritan is found only here, but the question with which the lesson opens, "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" is found also in chapter xviii, 18, and the parallel passages in Matt. xx, 16; Mark x, 17. Both in this lesson and in the story of the rich young ruler our Lord directed them to the law, for there can be no life eternal without the conviction of sin. He came not to call the righteous, those who think they are righteous, but sinners to repentance (Matt. lx, 13). The only Saviour revealed in Scripture is a Saviour for sinners, one who came to save lost people. There have been, and always are, those who go about to establish their own righteousness, being ignorant of the righteousness of God (Rom. x. 3). That which is necessary to enter the kingdom is the perfect righteousness of a perfect law, as explained by our Lord in what is called the Sermon on the Mount. No mere man ever had of himself such a righteousness: the Lord Jesus Christ alone fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law (Matt. v. 18), and when any one pleads guilty and comes to Him and receives Him, they have in Him an absolutely perfect righteousness which God has accepted. That the law cannot save, but only convinces of sin. See Rom. III, 19, 20; Gal. iii, 21, 22. That Christ bare our sins and is made unto us righteousness. See II Cor. v, 21; I Cor. i, 30, 31; Rom. x. 4. "What is written? How readest thou?" (verse 20) are two questions of the utmost importance. That which is written by the Holy Spirit is forever settled in heaven (Ps. cxlx. '80), and we are to receive it as a little child would, believing every word, seeing everywhere Him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write. Jesus of Nazareth (John i, 45; Luke xxlv. 27, 44). When Philip was asked to explain the Scripture to the treasurer of Queen Candace he began at the same Scripture and preached unto him Jesus (Acts vill, 35), and so it should be always. From Gen. i. 1 to Rev. xxil, 21. we must see Jesus Christ. Creator, Redeemer, Judge, our great High Priest, the coming King, and to anointed eyes He may be as plainly seen in the first verse as the last. The lawyer was cornered, as we say, and would fain justify himself, like those in Luke xvl. 15. It is more flattering to self to be praised rather than condemned. It is the manner of men to seek praise one of another, to desire the good opinion of men rather than the approval of God, but the word of God never flatters any mere man, it always condemns him and points him to the only perfect man. Christ Jesus. The lawyer's question, "Who is my neighbor?" is answered by our Lord's story of the good Samaritan, who is none other than Himself. The man from Jerusalem, city of peace, to Jericho. The condemned city (Josh. vl. 26), may represent the down grade of all mankind The thieves suggest the devil and his demons, and demon possessed men and women, whose business it is to steal and to kill and to destroy (John x. 10). The priest and Levite who passed by on the other side represent the utter inability of the law or ordinances or any form of religiousness to help the sinner who is not only half dead, but wholly dead in trespasses and sins (Eph. ii. 1-3). The conduct of the Samaritan has at least seven distinct points—came where he was, had compassion, bound up his wounds, poured in oil and wine, set him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, took care of him. The Lord Jesus came where we were, came from heaven to earth to save us, became sin for us, died in our stead. Our condition is described in Isa. 1, 6, as having no soundness, but wounds, bruises and putrefying sores, which have not been closed and bound up nor, mollified with ointment. We have recently noticed the compassion of Christ upon the shepherdless multitudes (Matt. 1x, 26), and it is often mentioned. He puts us in His place. He took ours that we might take His, and by faith in Him we are made accepted in the Beloved and stand complete in Him (Eph. 1, 6, 7; Col. 11, 10). Having redeemed us, He takes care of us all the way home, urging us not to be anxious, for our Heavenly Father knoweth all our need, and teaching us to cast all our care upon Him, for He careth for us. We have found rich spiritual instruction in the story, but the lawyer saw simply the unkindness of two and the kindness of the third and was asked to decide which was a neighbor to the man in trouble. The reply was easy. "He that shewed mercy on him." The Saviour's application was, "Go and do thou likewise." Compare His "This do and thou shalt live" of verse 28. Why this repeated "do?" To prove him guilty as a breaker of the law, for he manifested no love to Jesus when he came to Him to tempt Him, neither had he proved himself any kind of a neighbor, for there was no mercy in his conduct toward Jesus. There is no life eternal by doing, for therein all men fall. The South Atlantic Barber shop Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish. A fine line of cigars, pipes and tobacco.

Thou hast too much to say about thy rights and thinkest too little about thy duties. Thou hast but one inalienable right, and that is the sublime one of doing thy duty at all times, under all circumstances and in all places.—Frederic R. Marvin. A Sculptor's First Job. The story of Naoum Aronson's first commission reads like a romance, says a writer in World's Work concerning the Russian sculptor. He had gone short of food and worked incessantly in his scanty leisure so that he might send a bust to the salon, and it had been accepted. One morning, from want of proper nourishment turned giddy on the stairs. 'The flight and knocked him less, and there he was so scous by his first patron, who had noticed his work and called to commission that moment Aronson back. Good Advice. Never forget the advice of T. toocles. Said that ancient, "I would stow my daughter upon a man without money, but not upon money without a man." Just change money for title and see the different reading: "I would bestow my daughter upon a man without title, but not upon title without a man."—New York Press. Modern Schooling. "Husband, you will have to go out in the woods this afternoon and catch a mud turtle." "The idea! Why should I catch a mud turtle?" "The teacher says Willie must have one for his natural history tomorrow. Don't you want to help the child with his lessons?"—Washington Herald. Mending Without Sewing. Mending Without Sewing. Here is a simple and efficacious way of mending a tear, three cornered or otherwise, in an article of clothing: Place the cloth flat on a table and amaze a little white of a raw egg all around and over the tear on the reverse side. Now cut a piece of linen (a handkerchief will do) a little larger than the tear and place it over the rent so that it adheres to the white of egg. Then get a hot iron and simply press it, without ironing, over the linen. The linen will adhere firmly to the cloth and will not come off even if washed. The rent in the material will now be almost invisible on the outside, and the mending will last as long as the dress or suit—London Answers. Gossip In the Club. Only one thing is fatal to the happy social life of any country community, and that is gossip. If the women in their clubs cannot find in the wide field of housekeeping, chicken raisling, preserving, care of children, public schools, music, art, reading, public improvements, good government, health, sewing, entertaining and all other delightful household tasks enough material to lift the meetings above petty personalities, then the little club or whatever it is called is doomed. Whenever gossip is allowed to creep into any organization people will begin to break up into little cliques or circles or groups, and the whole thing fails.-Hilda Richmond in Farm and Fireside. Tides of the Mind. Shakespeare tells us that there is a tide in the affairs of men. Certainly there is a tide in the minds of men. He must be very unobservant of himself who does not know that the mind rises and falls, that it swells into fulness and strength and then fades into emptiness and weakness, we know not how, we know not why. Formerly the tides of the sea were also a great mystery. Slowly did observation disclose that they were under the influence of the moon and, still later, of the sun. So with the tides of the mind. We are taught now that they are caused and governed by our faith and by our love. -Theophilus Parsons. Bonehead Stick. A grewsome walking stick was that used by the late Moberley Bell, so long manager of the London Times. It was a plain, stout stick, mounted with a bone from his own body. When a correspondent in Alexandria he was crossing a railway line and caught the heel of his foot between the points. A train was approaching, and by a desperate effort he wrenched himself free. But he so injured his ankle that an operation was necessary, and one of the joint bones had to be removed. This he had mounted as the handle of the walking stick which he used to counteract the limp his accident left him. London Tatler. LOOK TO THE FUTURE Never mind the past except to profit by its mistakes. The past is in many things the foe of mankind; the future is in all things our friend. For the past has no hope; the future is both hope and fruition. The past is the textbook of tyrants, the future the Bible of the free. Those who are safely governed by the past stand, like Lot's wife, crystallized in the act of looking backward and forever incapable of looking forward.—Marryat.

Mr. and Mrs. Flatty were having quite a brisk little quarrel. "You have no regard for my feelings," asserted Mr. Flatty. "You treat me worse than you do your dog!" "How can you say such a thing?" demanded Mrs. Flatty. "I do nothing of the kind. I never make the slightest difference between you!" — Chronicle Plain Dealer. A Cruel Insinuation.
