Everything is readiness for the opening tomorrow afternoon of the first real Negro school boys' baseball league that has been organized in this city and the Colored youths of the town are virtually wild over the affair. The league, which is known as the Urban Baseball Association, was organized by the committee on boys' clubs of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and is composed of four schools, the West Broad Street School, East Broad Street School, Beach Institute and a team made up from the Catholic schools. The games will begin promptly at 2 o'clock, and judging from the enthusiasm which is being manifested on all sides a large crowd will be on hand to give the boys a big send off. Supervisor of Umpires Matthew A. Jones has selected the officials for this afternoon's games and everything promises to be pulled off in fine style. The double umpire system will be used and those who will officiate today are Dr. O. C. Clayborne, Capt. Julius Maxwell, Mr. Geo. W. Jacobs and Mr. Jerry Smith. Permission of the property owners to use the grounds at 37th and Florence streets and also those at Hall and Paulsen streets has been secured during the week, as was also police protection. The equipment of the clubs was made possible by the public spirited business and professional men of the city. Official scores of the league and the standing of each player will be given out for publication at stated periods during the season. The league schedule will be on page 4 of The Tribune.

Of this number, seventeen were baptized Sunday and the others, with a few exceptions, to be received otherwise, will be baptized later on. There was a very large crowd out both morning and night, especially was this so in the morning, when there were very few vacant seats in the gallery. The subject of the morning sermon was "Time to Awake Out of Sleep." This sermon was both helpful and instructive to the new members as well as the old. Services tomorrow as follows: Prayer services at 6:30 a.m., preaching at 11 a.m., Sunday school at 3:15 p.m., B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p.m., and preaching at 8 p.m. We invite you to all of these services. THE' MAN WHO TURNED GRAVEL INTO DOLLARS. By Clement Richardson I found him in his bare feet and in extreme negligee. Seated on the porch of his big farmhouse, to which he had come years before as a penniless hireling, he was trying to coax a breeze out of a hot night in Arkansas. As soon as I made myself known, he began to talk talk full of shrewd observation and vivid rhetoric about the Negro farmer. Two hours later he remembered I had not been to supper. "You will find me an ole, one gallus farmer," said he, "but I reckon I can find somethin' to eat." As I passed along on his porch I heard the soft bleating of sheep, the munching of cows on the cud, the stamping of horses in the stable. He brought me fresh, fruit, fresh butter, fresh milk, and water from the icebox. One gallus farmer indeed! But that is the way of the old man. Scott Bond, ex-slave and spare mulatto, came out to Mississippi in the early seventies and pitched his tent in Madison, Arkansas, now a bit of a lumber village forty-five miles from Memphis, Tennessee. He was illiterate and penniless. Like many a liberated slave, he carried all his personal belongings tied up in a red bandanna handkerchief, which he swung on the end of a stick and carried over his shoulder. At fourteen years of age he had worn his first pair of shoes, pair which, after much instruction, he had put together for himself. At twenty-one he was the proud possessor of his first pair of store shoes. Illiterate though he was, he came into Arkansas with a rare knowledge of soils. Now, Madison looks down into the luxuriant valley of the St. Francis River. Once a year when the Mississippi River is troubled she stretches forth her arm and washes all this forty-five miles of land between Memphis and Madison, leaving upon it heaps of loam and debris. Seeing this double source of enriching the soil, Scott Bond shook his head and exclaimed, "Lawd, dis is de place fur me—de open places are de places to live in." However, he was poor. He labored as a plow hand for thirty cents a day. Evenings he went to the village and chopped wood for the grocery store and country club at twenty-five cents per two-horse load. He recalled for me how in his courting days he and the woman who is now his wife used to pass by the big 'saw worm in noqumma peep through the fence cracks at the luscious fruit in the orchard, and at intervals go in and beg a few windfalls. "Lawd!" he used to say beneath his breath, "will I ever have anything that looks lak dis?" When he had saved twenty-three dollars he married. This sum he invested in a bedstead, a dresser, and a chair or two. His bride made a mattress of crocus sacks, stuffed it with hay, and the couple moved into a cottage on leased land, ready to keep house. A young mistress of the plantation, happening to be present when the furniture was moved in, asked. ' Unc Scott, is this all?" "Yas'm. Ain't it enough fur a pore nigger to start on?" "But, Unc Scott, what are you going to cook in?" "Why, dat so, I hadn' thought 'bout dat. But my money is all gone now." The young mistress gave them an old teakettle and a skillet. The latter had a big hole in the side. "Son, you oughter seen us tryin' to keep de corn dough from runnin' out of dat hole," said he. With these items of furniture and utensils and with one dol- (Continued on page 4) SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1911 M. MR. G. H. BOWEN NEW REPUBLICAN PLAN DROPS 89 DELEGATES Special Committee Submits Reapportionment Terms for States' Approval. Charles D. Hilles, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, made public the apportionment plan for delegates to the National Convention of the party to be held in 1916, together with the letter which the special committee, composed of Charles B. Warren, William B. Borah and Henry D. Hatfield, have addressed to the Republican State Committees in every State, asking for the ratification of the plan, as required by the National Committee at its meeting last December. In the plan the right of the states to elect delegates at direct primaries is recognized, as is the right of a state to elect all its delegates-at-large, or part at large and part from Congressional districts. These provisions are intended to do away with contests at the convention. The letter further sets forth: "The plan adopted and recommended for ratification provides that the Republican voters in each state shall hereafter be represented in a National Convention of the party by four delegates-at-large; two delegates for each representative-at-large in Congress; one delegate from each Congressional District, and an additional delegate from each Congressional District in which the vote of 1908 for any Republican elector or for the Republican nominee for Congress in 1914 shall. not have been less than 7, 500. "Alaska and the District of Columbia will each be entitled to two voting delegates, while Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands will each be entitled to two delegates without the right to vote." The result of this change in the basis of representation, if ratified by the requisite number of State conventions7 will be a decrease of 89 votes as follows: Alabama will lose 8, Arkansas 3, Florida 4, Georgia 11, Louisiana 8, Mississippi 8, New York 2, North Carolina 3, South Carolina 7, Tennessee 3, Texas 16, Virginia 8, Hawaii 4, Porto Rico 2, and Philippine Islands 2. It is necessary for the State conventions of such a number of States as are entitled to cast a majority of votes in the present electoral college to ratify the plan before it can become effective.

E. church was the scene of one of the most brilliant spring weddесions on Wednesday evening of last week. The contracting parties were Miss Eliza Annette Duncan and Mr. David Jefferson Hill. The altar was a beautiful arrangement of palms, cut flowers and sheaves of wheat, affecting superior taste. Long before the bridal party arrived at the church, the guests were filing, in their seats. Promptly at 9 o'clock, to the strains of "Lohengrin," played by Mrs. Nona Mitchell, pianist, and Mr. Robert Greene, violinist, the bridal party entered. Messrs. Rosco W. Bryant, Ceah K. Hardwick, R. Alexander Duncan, ushers, entered first and took their places at the right and left of the altar. Little Misses Ella Parkhurst and Mattie Ginn, dressed in white lingerie over blue and pink respectively, and bearing pillows, entered next; followed by the maid of honor, Miss Bertha D. Williams, who wore a pink messalin dress trimmed in chiffon lace and roses, and carrying a bouquet of roses and maiden hair fern. Then came master Andrew Duncan Seabrook, ring bearer, followed by the bride, who entered on the arm of her father. She was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Wm. L. Woods, of Statesboro, Ga. Rev. W. V. Daughtry, district superintendent, Savannah district, assisted by the pastor, Rev. J. S. Stripling, performed the ceremony. During the ceremony, the bride and groom knelt at the altar, and soft strains were played from "Melody in F." At the conclusion of the ceremony the wedding march from "Mendelssohn" was played and the bridal party passed out. The bride wore an exquisite gown of dutchess satin, trimmed in real lace and pearls, with a slight train. Her veil was of white tulle with orange blossoms drapped over lace dutch cap. Her necklace was a rope of pearls. She carried a shower bouquet of lillies of the valley and white roses. Her father was stately attired in his "light house tenders' uniform." The reception took place at their beautiful little home, 708 West 36th, street, immediately after the wedding. Many handsome and useful presents were received from relatives and friends in and out of the city. Few of the out-of-town guests were Mrs. R. A. Holmes of Jacksonville, Fla., a sister to th bride, Misses Geraldine and Lulà Belle Parkhursts recently of Statesboro, Ga. The bride, the daughter of Mr. D. Z. Duncan, an esteemed veteran light house tender in the governmental employ nearly forty years, is very popularly known, and has a wide circle of friends She possesses a charming and sweet disposition and a rare talor music.

Bowen Makes $40,000.00 Deal SELLS OATLAND ISLAND TO IOWA CORPORATION Property Bought for Charitable Purposes —Largest Real Estate Deal Ever Made in This City by a Negro. A real estate deal in which a little less than a half hundred thousand dollars were involved was put through last week by Mr. G. H. Bowen, the hustling Negro real estate dealer of this city. For the sum of $40,000.00 Oatland Island, near Thunderbolt and bounded by the Wilmington and St. Augustine rivers and Richardson's creek, lying in Chatham county, was sold by Mr. Bowen, agent,to the Sisters of Charity, B. V. M., a corporation of Dubuque, Ia. Oatland Island, consisting of 4,000 acres, one hundred acres in cultivation, remainder in woodland, is the property of Mr. T. H. Smith of this city. It is not definitely known for what purpose the Iowa corporation purchased the island, but it was stated by Mr. O'Connor, Chicago agent in fact, who was in the city last week, that it will be used for charitable purposes in connection with the workers of the corporation. The deal is by all means the largest of the kind ever put through by a local Negro real estate agent and is but one of the many important transactions made by Mr. Bowen since his coming here. During the three years he has been here, Mr. Bowen has sold a little more than $100,000.00 worth of improved property in the city, disposed of 820 lots at Central Park aggregating in value about $65,000.00; and sold 320 lots in Cann Park for a total of $65,000.00. A little over a year ago he attempted to form a corporation of six men to buy in the remainder of the lots in Cann Park, but for some reason the men he tried to interest in the project did not see fit to take it up, so knowing the excellent opportunity for making quick sales on the property he bought it in himself for $17,000. This property he disposed of in little over six months. Before coming to this city Mr. Bowen was connected with the D. and O. Lott Company, of Waycross, Ga., and the Union Investment Company, of Jacksonville, Fla.

NUMBER 30 Work Resumed On Central Park Institute BUILDING TO BE COMPLETED BY JUNE 1 Will Probably Have Summer Course—Interior Work Being Rushed Forward With All Possible Haste. Work on Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute, located at Central Park three miles and a half from the city on the White Bluff road, was resumed last week and the building will be pushed forward to completion with all possible dispatch. On account of lack of means, work on the building was stopped about three months ago, but now that necessary money has been raised to carry on the work the building will in all likelihood be completed and ready for occupancy by Juner. The erection of the building, which is a four story structure, is in charge of Contractor J.E. Welcher, one of the best known builders of Jacksonville, Fla. Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute is erected under the auspices of the A. M. E. Church of Georgia and will have the backing of the entire connection of the state. It will be conducted on similar lines to Morris Brown College in Atlanta, with the possible exception of including in the curriculum of the form a general and comprehensive industrial feature. The plant of the schoolwill at the opening consist of the building and twenty-two acres of land, the gift of the Central Park Land Corporation. The site of the school is the highest ground in Central Park, a tract consisting of about 850 lots purchased by Negroes. It is the purpose of the trustees of the school to make Central Park a model educational center. While it is not yet decided upon yet it has been intimated that a summer school will be conducted at the school, with the possible addition of a chatanqua during the month of July. The school will give accommodation to about sixty boarding pupils and it is expected that a large number of day students will go out from the city. Water for use of the school will be supplied by an artesian well on the grounds. A gasoline engine will be used to force the water which has an abundant flow to a reservoir, both of which have been provided by the company donating the land. Teachers for the school have already been selected and Rev. J. W. Maxwell will act as principal. Seabrook Undertaking Establishment has Automobile Ambulance. The latest addition to the Seabrook unbertaking establishment is a beautiful automobile ambuwhich will add greatly to the effective service of this concern. The ambulance is the first one of motor power to be owned by a Negro undertaking establishment in this state. It is a highly polished car, gray in color, and is very roomy and comfortable. The ambulance is for hire at all times, both day and night. --- (Continued from page 1) A mere accident led him into conceiving of farming on a business scale. Hitherto his ambition had been to purchase a small farm and from it to educate his children. He was already the father of two boys. His early and late hours had begun to yield profit, but he only rented a little more extensively. In those early days there were no banks in Arkansas. The country merchant was store-keeper, cotton merchant, and banker: The nearest bank was at New Orleans. To the country merchant Scott Bond sold his cotton, receiving credit on the books. Whatever he needed he ordered. When his rent fell due he gave an order on the merchant, who paid the money to the landlord. Scott Bond himself saw little cash in those days. As chance would have it, however, the merchant and the landlord got at loggerheads, and ceased to speak to each other, the landlord vowing never to enter the merchant's store again. Whereupon the latter ordered Bond to get the money and pay it himself. Now the rent on the farm was $1,500.00 a year. Down to the store the Negro farmer rode and gave his order for $1,500.00. "Son," said he, when telling me the experience, "I looked at all dem bills and looked at dem. I had never seen so much money in all my life. Ijes couldn't take my eye off it. After a while I took it up and put it down inside my overcoat pocket, and I hugged it and hugged it all along the road." Out on the lonely highway he felt a desire to look at all this money again, to take it into his hand. He reached for it but feared the sudden appearance of a highwayman. Finally he rode into the forest. In a deep hollow he came upon a big log. Tying his mule, he took the money out of his pocket and spread it up and down the big log bill by bill. Then he stood back, folded his arms, and looked at the money, and looked at it. Unwilling, to take his eyes off the bills, he began a circuit around the log trudging round and round many times. Finally he spoke, "Lawd, I made all dis money and hyer I am takin' it to somebody else. If I live I am goin' to have somebody odin' dis same thing for me. Son, let a man handle his money," he shouted. "Dere's a difference 'tween dat and paper orders. I don't kyer if it ain't but five cents, let him handle it." Finishing his resolution, he collected his bills and went on his way. A few days later, after a conference with his wife, such a conference as he always had before undertaking any business of importance, he invested his remaining three hundred-odd dollars in a small track of land. Both his white and colored friends called him a fool for paying so much for that particular lot. Part of it was in shrubbery, the rest a strip of sand on Crow Creek. This creek is a stream which riots over the lowlands in the wet season and simmers down to a contemptable rivulet in the dry season. One day while he was plowing he saw a handsome carriage coming toward his fields. "Who is dat fine white gentleman comin' dis way?" he asked himself. "Is this Mr. Bond? asked the fine gentleman, stopping by "Unc Scott." "Tut, tut, none er dat now!" The gentleman was taken aback. "In de fus' place you know you don' mean it. And if you does you can't afford to call niggers "mister" in dis part of de country. You must be one of dem 'publicans fum de North." Scott Bond has no very high esteem for the particular brand of Northerner that he knows. "Well, what'll I call then?" asked the stranger. "call me cross-cyed nigger," replied Bond, "dat's what dey says behind my back. And if you wants to do better'n dat—why, call me Unc Scott—dey calls me Unc Scott round hyer." Thus instructed on the proprieties, the gentlemen settled down to his purpose. "They tell me' you own this sand pit up here." "Y-a-s, sir, I owns some little of it," replied Unc Scott, trying to be as ambiguous as possible. He hadn't the slightest suspicion of what the man wanted. "Well, I am representing the Rock Island Railroad, and my firm has sent me here to buy sand and off your pit. How will you sell it?" There was a pause. Bond had never heard of selling sand. "Well, I don, know, sir," he finally replied, "I allus consults my ole lady before I makes a trade. And if you can come back day after tomorrow I'll, let you know." "All right Unc Scott," and the stranger was gone Scott Bond stood by his mule's head and waited until the carriage disappeared. Now the plantation which had the best of sand and gravel on it was in cvcharge of a colored man who had a two years' option on it. It comprised one hundred and sixty acres around Crow Creek, and the tillable land was very fertile. The farm was on sale Bond knew the Negro who held the option planned to return the farm to the owners when the option ended. Leaping astride his mule as soon as the carriage was out of sight, Bond rode over to the field where the colored man was plowing. "I had mighty calm," he said, "and kinder don't-care-like, for I didn't want to make him think anything." He rode up, hailed the plowman, and talked with him. Finally he asked casually, "Say, is you goin' to buy dis farm?" He knew the plan of the man already. "Well, it is right net mine," said Pond, "and if you're not goin' to buy it I'll give five dollars for your option, and you can sty right on here." "When?" asked the other, anxious to get an easy five dollars. "Right now, if you can go and sign the paper," and he showed the money. Cash was scarce. "I'll go all right," said the other. This was all the money Scott Bond ever paid out for the one hundred and sixty acres of land. The railroad bought more than seventeen hundred dollars worth of sand and gravel out of this creek long before Bond's payments were due on the whole farm. His resolution at the big log in the woods was beginning to be carried out. One by one he bought in the farms around him, and he peopled them with Negroes who paid him rent as he had paid the white landlord years before. One of the last estates to fall into his possession was that on which he had flowed for thirty cents a day, thus through whose fence cracks he used to peep at the blushing peaches and luscious grapes. And he lives in the big farmhouse to which he used to go to beg a few windfalls from the master. He lives there with his sheep, cows, horses, and big Brahma chickens strutting proudly about, and the windfalls still dropping to the ground. His house is high up among the hills, and as he sits on the front porch, where he first went as an Arkansas hireling; he looks out northeast and southwest over forty-four hundred acres of his own farm land, some of the richest soil in the country. The gravel-pit deal, the bringing of tenants whom he had to "carry," as the Southern term has it, until the crops were harvested, opened Scott, Bond's eyes still wider to the business side of farming. And, so he put up abig country store, selling groceries, drygoods of even the fanciest brands, hardware, and farm implements. The tenants of forty-four hundred acres of land are not a bad patronage in themselves, not to mention the floating purchasers who come to Bond's store in large numbers, for most of them have reason to know and esteem Ume Scott Here the tenant may go and be "carried," getting any kind of merchandise he needs. Here he may secure cash money, and whenever "Scott Bond and Sons" buy from a tenant they invariably pay in cash—for Scott Bond applies his golden rule, "Let a man handle his money." The store is a successful business in itself, farming entirely apart. Now the cotton on all these acres has to be ginned. Hence Bond's next step in the business of farming was to erect a cotton gin and cotton bailer, which is still another independent business. On his farms along the banks of Crow Creek and the St. Francis River are gigantic oaks, pines, and sweet gums—indeed, lumber forests. He has built a sawmill back of the store and cotton gin, and near the river bank. The logs are floated down the river and lifted out of the water and sawed. He ships all the lumbr he can turn out to the Chicago and Pittsburg markets. But the gravel-pit business has again come to the front. Only last August a railroad contracted to take $21,000 worth of gravel from him each year for three years, a sum which in the aggregate would have paid for all his farms, at the time he bought them. A gravel elevator is to be erected here, and Scott Bond and Sons will sell, not only to the railroads, but to contractors throughout the country. "Son, it is all the land. If you got dis land and treat it right it will give you what you ask for." And then he propounded another scheme. He is already laying, plans to establish a cement-brick factory. He has the clay on his farms and he has the water. For transportation he hasthe St. Francis River and the Rock ,Island Railroad cutting through his land. Moreover, the farmers all about are beginning to wall their ditches with land cement bricks. They save the land from washing. Scott Pond has three sons. Two of them are college graduates, the youngest is now in college. Waverly, one of the oldest boys, is storekeeper and cashier. He handles all the money, of the firm. The other son, Theopholis is the superintendent of the forty-four hundred acres of farm land. And be it said to the credit of the latter that neither Euclid nor Greek syntax has been able to dislodge his appreciation of cotton growing or his knowledge of how to run a plow. Again and again I saw him take hold of a plow in the field and demonstrate to the tenant farmer how deep or how shallow the furrow should be made in laying cotton. In the office of Scott Bond and Sons I sought still more accurate accounts of the Company's holdings. I found that the gin turns out 100 bales of cotton per day, and does from $4,000 to $5,000 worth of business in a season; that 800 bales and upwards are shipped from the Bond plantation each year; that the sawmill turns out 25,000 feet of lumber per day, and that the Company owns about 500 mules with all the implements, wagons, etc. that go with such working stock. Footing it all up, estimating the values of the gin plant, town property, sawmill, gravel pit, bank securities, and a five-thousand-tree fruit orchard, which I have not mentioned before. Bond may be conservatively set down as being worth $280,000.00. And then they took me to a back window of the store.

Electricity says that the explanation is a very simple one. There is an element of mystery about a telephone-call. The called party never knows, until he actually responds, whether or not the caller is a person of importance or has something of vital import to communicate. It is just a matter of luck, and your average business man, no matter how deep he may be in the conduct of his affairs with others actually present, will almost invariably break off the most important personal conversation to answer a telephone-call.

Sometimes it is desired to transfer one of these craft to a new sphere of operations which can only be reached overland, and the boat is then hauled out of the water, placed upon rollers and travels to its destination by means of its own power.

In the smallest occasion a man can be governed by the greatest of principles.

Eucerne has on its statute book a law which is not enforced. It prohibits hats of more than eighteen inches in diameter, forbids the use of artificial fibwers and imported feathers and orders that a license of seventy-five cents a year shall be paid for the right to wear ribbons or silk or gauze. Making It Last. A young man was lately leaving his aunt's house after a visit when, finding it was beginning to rain, he caught up an umbrella that was snugly placed in a corner and was proceeding to open it when the old lady, who for the first time observed his movements, sprang toward him, exclaiming: "No, no; that you never shall! I've had that umbrella twenty-three years, and it has never been wet yet, and I am sure it shan't be wetted now!"—London Express. To Make: Shaving Easier. To shave easily and save the blades of safety razors, leave a pleasant feel on the face and make all razors take less stropping, adopt the following plan: Lather the face well and wash off the lather. That gets rid of all dust. Then with a small brush work into the skin a little vaseline, and without removing this relather the face well, and then shave. The first day or two the plan does not seem so successful, but after that the advantages are very marked.—London Field. The Real Thing- Mrs. Knicker-Is your husband hard to get along with?

"There were seven of the twelve," said one of the discharged jurors in speaking of the matter next morning. "Who didn't want to sleep themselves and wouldn't let the rest of us sleep. Whenever we dropped in a doze they came around and shook us till we were wide awake again." "And you had to submit; I suppressed, for they constituted the majority?" "Yes. They were a rousing majority," said the hollow eyed juror, with a pensive attempt to be facetious—Chicago Tribune. Mexican Hats.

HINGTON STREET DO INTING PLEASURE Pleasure has its place in life, but the man who chooses pleasure as the object of his life has no real haven, but is like a boat that beats up and down and drifts to and fro, merely to feel the motion of the wind. When the voyage of life is done he has reached no port, he has accomplished nothing.—Henry van Dyke. Vicious Snipe. A Dublin gentleman was spending his vacation with some friends in the west of Ireland. As he was being driven to his destination he noticed a bog that promised good shooting and asked his jarve if there were any snipe in it. "Shnipe, is it, sor? Did ye say snipe? Shure. If ye wint into that bog woutid a gun they'd ate yez!" Triumph of Mind. Victim of Delusion—Doctor, I'm awfully afraid I'm going to have brain fever. Doctor—Pooh, pooh, my dear friend! That is all an illusion of the senses. There is no such thing as fever. You have no fever. You have no br-h'm—no material substance upon which such a wholly imaginary and supposititious thing as a fever could find any base of operation. Victim—Oh, doctor, what a load you have taken from my—from my—I have a mind, haven't I, doctor?—Chicago Tribune. "This paper," said Languid Lewis, "tells about a horse runnin' away with a woman and she was laid up for six weeks." "That ain't so worse," rejoined Boastful Benjamin. "A friend of mine once ran away with a horse, and he was killed up for six years."—New York Globe. Favorites of the Gods Abyssinia is one of the countries to which foreigners, and their own people have given different names. "Abyssinia" is derived from an Arabic word meaning mixture or confusion, in allusion to the mixed character of the inhabitants. They prefer to call themselves Ethiopians, and it certainly is a fine old name, which makes even Menelik's alleged descent from Solomon and the Queen of Sheba seem a modern detail. for the Ethiopians, according to the Greeks, were the first inhabitants of the earth, or, at any rate, the first who worshiped the gods. According to Homer, they were the favorites of the gods and the justest of all men.—London Chronicle. A Precisian. A New York physician who has recently transferred his activities to the Hub tells of a Bostonian who, like most of his townsmen, is a precisian in the matter of English and who had occasion not long ago to consult the aforesaid doctor. After ascertainment of symptoms the physician said: "What you need more than anything else is a tonic in the shape of fresh air." Whereupon the Hubbite waxed sarcastic and inquired: "Before we proceed further would you mind telling me what is the shape of fresh air?"—Lippincott's. The Crab In the Oyster. "The little crab found in the oyster," said a dealer, "is not, as supposed by two-thirds of the oyster eaters, the young of the blue crab, but is a distinct species. It is a messmate of and caterer to the wants of the oyster, being, therefore, a benefit instead of a detriment to the latter. In return for the oyster's kindness in protecting it against its enemies the little crab catches and crushes food which in its entire state could not be taken by the oyster. A singular thing in connection with them is that all found inside of the oyster are females. The male of the same variety has a hard shell."-Exchange. The Oldest Treaty. The oldest text of a real treaty now in existence is that of the convention between Rameses II., king of Egypt, and the prince of Kheta, which embraces the articles of a permanent offensive and defensive alliance, with clauses providing for the extradition of emigrants, deserters, criminals and skilled workmen. This treaty was drawn up in the fourteenth century, B. C., and is the earliest record that we have of any international transaction. Brilliant Future. "How long have you been dieting now, Mr. Stout?" "A little more than six months." "Do you notice any beneficial results?" "I should say I did. They are wonderful. I have lost fully two pounds. Think of it! I'll only have to keep at it for about eighteen years to get down to 200."—Chicago Record-Herald. The Easiest Way. Mrs. Newlywed-That table seems awfully rickety. Why, it creaks if you put your hand to it. Shopkeeper—Well, that's all the style, ma'ma. It's built that way on purpose. You can't read an account of fashionable dinner parties without noticing how the tables groaned under the weight of the delicacies. Better take this one, ma'ma.—New York Post Good form Unneighborly Noises. Lack of neighborly responsibility seems to be conspicuous through all ranks of society. You can understand the conduct of the knife grinder who blows his horn or rings his bell under your window, regardless of the rest or work he may be interrupting, just as you can excuse the yells of the itinerant vegetable or fruit vender who cries his wares raucously along the street. These noise producers are working for their living, and their calls and clangings are part of their stock in trade. Without them you would not know their goods were offered for sale. You can even tolerate the banging of the beaters on rugs on the roof or in the back yard, because you know the cleaning must be done, and it is being performed in the only locality that presents itself. But what good is gained by the unnecessary, honklings of an automobile which wake the echoes of your street at midnight? Why should the collectors of ashes and garbage make unnecessary noise in the discharge of their duties? And to come within the house and in touch with those who are supposed to have gentler tendencies, why should persons of like nature with ourselves keep so called music—either vocal or instrumental—going at an hour when ordinary, every day folk are supposed to be asleep? Rings For Bridegrooms. A custom rather strictly observed in Germany is the exchange of rings by bride and bridegroom on the wedding day, and it is a very pretty idea. "Why shouldn't the man have some outward symbol to show that he is married as well as a woman?" asked a little dark eyed bride who had used this double ring ceremony. And why not? Very few brides now select a plain diamond solitaire that was for so long considered the only proper engagement token; the larger the stone the more the girl loved to flash it. Now a diamond is used if the girl wishes it, but it is cut and set in some individual manner and is made with the promise that no duplicates will be sold. Some new rings are being shown which on first appearance seem to be very handsome seals, but on closer examination show that they are to be divided when the "time" comes into two separate rings. They are made to order, as is much of the jewelry worn nowadays by those who wish to have exclusive styles in their articles of adornment. Table Manners. When we consider good table manners in a general way there is one point that is emphasized. Quietness without haste is the thing that will do more than anything to give attractive table manners. Any one can be quiet and dignified. It may be a difficult thing to master the uses of the different utensils and to keep in mind the order of courses; it may seem a stupendous task to review the different positions and ways of eating different foods, but it is the easiest thing in the world to do things in a quiet manner. They are the essence of good table manners, and on this foundation it is possible to build an intricate structure that will take you through any formal dinner in satisfaction. Dancing Etiquette. "When dancing with a young girl," asks a perplexed masculine reader; "is it necessary to continue dancing with her—perhaps three or four dances—until some other man relieves you by asking the girl for a dance? Is there no way in which a man can gracefully get away?" The nice thing to do is to dance with the girl until another partner comes to claim her, but in case you have the next dance with another girl you must make your excuses gracefully, explaining the situation, and then go to claim the other girl. If you are free for the succeeding dances you should remain with your first partner until some one else relieves you of this duty. Street Introductions. An introduction is not always necessary when people meet on a public street, but it prevents a momentary embarrassment to say, "Miss C., Mr. M." Such an introduction need not be considered a basis for a future acquaintance. Merely to bow and smile in acknowledgment, with a pleasant word, is all that is necessary, and if the lady does not choose to recognize the man in meeting him afterward that is her privilege. Consideration For Servants. Consideration for servants Respect your maid's privacy. Make it a point always to knock on her door before entering, and if you have occasion to go to the kitchen in the evening always knock there too. If practicable do not disturb her at night. Some women have a most perilous habit of getting their malds up to unhook clothes, while others will remember in the small hours a number of orders that should have been given at dinner time. [MEDAL OF THE ROYAL MUSEUM OF LONDON] MISS DELANO AND HER MEDAL. The Red Cross society, whose work for humanity has been so great, has enlarged its sphere of usefulness. It has established a town and country nursing service through whose instrumentality the dwellers in even isolated communities may be assured of proper care in times of illness. The object of this is to encourage the employment of visiting nurses in remote districts where it is difficult to obtain the services of a physician. It was through Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman of the national committee on nursing service, that this new department of the work was established. Because of the splendid efficiency to which she, has brought the nursing work of the Red Cross the gold medal of merit has been awarded to Miss Delano by the president. In presenting her with the medal President Wilson sold: "It is due to Miss Delano's devoted and efficient labors that a splendid corps of over 4,000 of the best trained nurses in the country have been enrolled in the Red Cross for active service in time of war or disaster. Not only has this large corps been enrolled, but by means of 110 local committees a system has been established that enables the Red Cross to mobilize within a few hours' time anywhere in the country the number of nurses required for active service." Miss Delano is one of the most distinguished members of the nursing profession in America. She had established a high reputation before she joined the lied Cross. She is a graduate of the Bellevue Training School For Nurses. Her first case is said to have been that of the late Abram S. Hewitt, then mayor of New York. She distinguished herself by her work in the yellow fever epidemic in Florida. She has held important positions in the west, in Philadelphia and in Buffalo. She was superintendent of the New York municipal training school for women nurses and later of Bellevue hospital, where she instituted many needed reforms. CONVENIENT BAGS. New Models Are Compact and Fitted With Useful Accessories. Manufacturers of fine leather goods are offering exquisite novelties in traveling bags and cases, which are much smaller in size than the heavy, old fashioned types of bags. The responsibility for the change lies with the modern taste for motoring. The woman of 1914 covers such distances and her belongings must be so moderate in size and so easily packed that designers have been at work turning out the most elegant as well as the most convenient form of toilet apparatus. The party bag is a mere trifle to handle and looks almost like a handkerchief in black moire drawn in with a ribbon. It may be concealed in a coat pocket, or there would be space for it in a little hand bag. Within its folds are all the items that go to give a woman the finishing touches for the toilet. Just a little frame keeps all the gold, silver gilt or enameled trifles together, and the contents are all that is required. The prevailing taste leans to easily folded or drawn bags, and some novelties consist of round models of the finest leather, so soft as to crush into very small space. Inside is a frame, and into this are fitted the little implements of the toilet. A tiny hairbrush is set into gold, gilt, enamel or inlaid ivory or tortoise shell. The comb is decorative, and there are small pots for cream, powder, lip salve, tiny bottles for perfume, a miniature toothbrush, diminutive manicure implements and a long thin roll of metal matching the setting of the case that turns out to be a receptacle for needles, cotton and other trifles to mend a rent. The center of some of these collapsible bags is fitted with a waterproof compartment for a sponge. Color enters into many of these fanciful cases, a green leather bag or case containing red or rose colored fittings, while a yellow bag will have every item in blue enamel or in silver gilt. Many and varied are these dainty trifles and devices featuring a season of unusual luxury and elegance. TRY TO BE CHEERFUL Cheerfulness, like other good qualities, can be developed and increased, and whoever omits its culture neglects an important duty to himself and to society. The fact that few men can do their best work or think their best thoughts unless a cheerful spirit animates them should be sufficient reason for setting in motion every cause which produces such a spirit. Tiny Goust. The republic of Goust is a square mile in the Pyrenees which for the last three centuries has been recognized by Spain and France as independent. It has a population of about 150 wreens. They are ruled by a council of elders and pay no taxes or duties of any sort. This civic unit is so tiny that it has to go abroad for its cure of souls and body, for it has neither physician nor priest, for these needs it has to go to Laruns, the nearest French town. Even the dead must leave Goust to find consecrated ground in which to lie, the coffins being sled downhill and thus out of the smallest republic in the world. Not Worded the Same. Just as the family was about to sit down to the evening meal the minister unexpectedly dropped in and was asked to join them. When the maid set the table she had turned the plates bottom side up. Written on the bottom was the name of the manufacturer. The minister was asked to say grace, and as he did so he reverently bowed his head above his plate. When he had finished the little five-year-old daughter of the house picked up her plate, looked at the manufacturer's name closely and said: "Papa, it doesn't say that on my plate"—Ladies' Home Journal. Discovery of Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor, who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that his worship would like to have it in his fishpond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet, and, deeming that his guests might appreciate a new dish, he ordered the turtle to be stewed. The corporation was so delighted with the novelty that it re-elected its host to the municipal chair nine times running.—London Chronicle. Restaurant Affiliations The waiter in the light lunch cafe looked expectantly at the first of five men who had just entered. "A piece of cocoanut pie and a cup of cocoon," said the fourth. The waiter went to the fifth man. "I know what you want," he said. "You want a slice of chocolate cake and a cup of chocolate." "No; I do not," protested the fifth man. "I want a plate of ice cream and a glass of ice water."—Judge. Stevenson Carried His Tall Hat Stevenson Carried his Trial Hall Sir Sidney Colvin, in a lecture on "Personal Reminiscences of R. L. Stevenson," denied firmly that Stevenson had any affectation. "R. L. S," said Sir Sidney, "did) once possess a frock coat and tall hat, which he acquired for the purposes of a wedding. Coming to London subsequently, he made the concession to my respectability of donning the coat and hat, and thus we walked down Piccadilly. But the hat was in Stevenson's hand, and as the gates of Burlington House closed on us, Stevenson was declaiming in vibrant voice and rich Scotch accent a chorus from Milton's 'Samson Agonistes.'"—London Globe. Illusions. A rude shock greets the idea that the testimony of eyewitnesses is especially reliable when one comes to stu the laws of evidence. The major persons see what they think ought to see. If a house is repa haunted it is easier to see a g there than not. Possibly this accounts for the widespread belief that luminous appearances of one kind or another accompany earthquake shocks. Scientific men do not believe these stories, and they usually dwindle on investigation, yet they continue to circulate on both sides of the Atlantic, says a writer in Cosmos, Paris, translated for the Literary Digest. Memory. Dear as remembered kisses after death. All our sensations are memory, some say. It may be. It may not be. But this we know: The perfume that is the finest is the perfume of reminiscence. It may be a vagrant fragrance from the woods or in the city's air. The song neglected, but remembered, is the most appealing. The taste acquired in childhood is that that tickles most our older palate. A friend is a composite of our memories. Sometimes that part of us that is the bud and leaf seems the whole tree. But we would die without the roots. Memory is the roots and sap of us.—Kansas City Star. We make a specialty of framing diplomas, marriage licenses and pictures of all sizes.

DEVEAUX JAS. H. BUTLER Asso. Editor and Manager Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second-Class mail matter. Saturday April 18, 1914. The recent conviction and sentencing of a young man in this State for malicious slander against a young woman, although coming to us as the first application of a new Georgia law, brings to us the belief that at last definite steps are to be taken to arrest the tending to environment and injurious gossip, now so much a part of us. To give publicity to an unsavory report upon a person even when there is ground for the report, is bad enough. To start or spread a rumor on any one when there is absolutely no ground for the same, is not only malicious but criminal as well: At the present there is too great a disposition among us to start and to spread rumors. Such conducts results not only injury of a moral nature, but falls too often little short of bloodshed. This ought not to be. It is decidedly better for one not to speak at all concerning a person, if he cannot speak well of him, than to continue to say things calculated to do him personal injury. By this we do not mean that there should be a disposition among us to shield wrong doings or hide criminality. On the other hand, we believe in their widest publicity and this, for the good of others. However, we do not believe in slanderous or malicious indulgence on the part of any one. The recent conviction has its accompanying lesson. May the people of our various communities profit thereby and act accordingly. "Batter up." What pleasant music this brings to the air of the many rabid base ball fans with which this bur is infested! Yes, the long wished for base ball season is on. The majors, the minors and the private leagues are all now in the heydey of their glory. During the present base ball season, our people will not be without sufficient base ball entertainment. The fact is, indications point to more base ball enthusiasm and excitement during the present season than ever before. In addition to the regular games of the South Atlantic league, as per schedule, the recently organized base ball league among the city schools bids fair to furnish a large percentage of the base ball pleasure during the present season. Judging by the hearty response which the business and professional men of the city made to the appeal of the promoters of the league for base ball paraphernalia. We have every reason to believe that the inter city schools base ball series will be the card of the present season. The Tribune feels happy to know that our young hopefuls of the various schools are to be given a chance to pit their skill and efficiency against each other in the athletic field. The movement resulting in this is indeed a fine one. It is sincerely hoped that when the signal, "play ball" rumbles as it were from the umpire at the beginning of each game, that there will be hundreds of fans present to cheer their favorites to victory. --- The recent action of the Evangelical Ministers' Union, designating the fourth Sunday of this month as "Go to church Sunday," comes to us as one of the most constructive and progressive measures passed by the Union within the recent past. As has been observed in our columns, go to church Sunday, wherever instituted, has resulted in no little good in bolstering church attendance. It is a fact which easily resists successful disputation, that the local church attendance is far from what it ought to be. A leisure joint on Sunday through some of our throughfares will convince the most casual observer that there must be numbers of our people who find themselves without the church walls during Sundays. For many centuries, the church has been the recognized leveling influence of civilization. It has been and is the fountain head of such acts of piety, benevolence and brotherly love as have made the world a place worthy of habitation. When men stay away from the church, they quickly forget its teachings. Quita naturally too, they soon became luke warm and indifferent to its welfare and upkeep. As a result the church suffers both in service and influence. This is not as it should be. The progressive and wide-awake ministers throughout the country are fast realizing this, hence the rapidity with which the go to church Sunday is being instituted in various parts of the country. As in other places, go to church Sunday ought to result in much good in Savannah. As the time approaches for the observance of this day, it should be the aim of all church goers, clergy and laity alike to become a live booster for go to church Sunday. It is sincerely hoped that when the reports leave Savannah as to what was accomplished on go to church that Savannah will not be found wanting, as is not her won't, so far as results of the day are concerned.

Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, Rabbi George Solomon of the Mickve Israel Synagogue will deliver an address at the First Congregational Church, h under the auspices of the Congregational Brotherhood. Rabbi Solomon is an able and interesting speaker, and intensely interested in the work of social uplift. His kind feeling toward our people has been manifested, and it is indeed a treat to hear him. A large crowd is expected to be present to hear him and enjoy the several musical selections. Following is the program: Prelude Hymn, Congregation Invocation Anthem Introduction of speaker Address by Rev. GeorgeSolomon, Rabbi Mickve Israel Temple Trombone solo. Mr. W. A. Wilkes Anthem (offering) Announcements Hymn, Congregation Benediction St. Paul Church St. Paul's Easter week exercises have been quite a success thus far, each night has been one of real elevation. The children showed that they were well trained by Mrs. E. A. Martin. The Easter drill Tuesday night was quite a feature and measured up to all that could be expected. Wednesday night was quite interesting. It was the business and the professional men's night. The principal address was given by Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, it was both practical and indeed inspiring. Messrs. G. H. Bowen W. L. Williams and E. W. Sherman made timely remarks. The ladies who served refreshments have acted well their part. The final reports of the rally will be Sunday night. All friends and members are expected to be present and to pay liberally. The pastor will give a special address Sunday night. His subject will be "Negro development and liberal giving." All citizens are invited to hear Rev. Martin discuss this subject. He will emphasize what we have achieved and what we can do to create employment for one another as well as what we ought to do and ought to give to push the cause of Christ. The Ministers Union will rally for him on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Special Notice All friends and well wishers of Mrs. J. H. Patterson's school will greatly help her out by purchasing a ticket for the concert by the school at Morse's Hall Wednesday evening April 29th. The Man Who Turned Gravel to Dollars (Continued from page 1) lat's worth of flour, twenty cents' worth of coffee, ten cents' worth of sugar, and a supply of corn meal and "middlin's," the couple launched forth into housekeeping and farming. For six months there was no more sugar, coffee, or flour in that farm cottage. At the end of that time some cotton had been sold. "And what a eatin' we had," shouted the Arkansas farmer. "But son, I began to work sho 'nough now," he went on. I worked from can't to can't—from can't see in the mornin' till can't see at night." When other men were harnessing their mules. Bond had already turned half a dozen furrows, and when they were unhitching to go home Scott Bond turned yet a furrow or two. When it rained or when he could not work his own fields, he cut and hauled wood for the white farmers round about, following always that "can't-to-can't" policy of his. (Continued on page 2) St. Philip's Church The resurrection sermon was attended by one of the largest crowds that has attended a similar service at this church for years. A large class of converts was baptized. The sermon was preached by Rev. Singleton. The text was form Mark 16:6, subject "The Sepulchre." It was the greatest resurrection sermon that has been preached at St. Philips. At 11 a. m., Rev. R. D. Stinson, president of the Normal and Industrial Institute of Atlanta, Ga., delivered a fine sermon. There were five children christened, and communion given to all of the new converts, also the right hand of fellowship. At 3 p. m.the Sunday school had their Easter exercises which was much enjoyed. The decorations were beautiful and much appreciated. The school raised, for mission, nearly a hundred dollars, and it will exceed that amount when all reports are in. Following is the report of Sunday night: Class No. 1, Rev. Singleton, $12.00; No. 2, Mr. H. Hymes, $2.40; Mrs. J. Singleton, $12.75, and banner of the adult department; No. 4, Rev. C. P.

This follows lying down on a damp stable floor or on the cold ground outside. With good cows as high priced as they are, it is shortsighted in the extremo to allow such preventable cases of caked udder. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it is a risky proposition using coal tar as a material for painting the wounds of young fruit trees. In a number of instances which the writer has run across lately trees so treated a year ago are practically done for now, and this is particularly true where the coal tar was used freely and the trunks completely covered with it. That it is a very easy matter for so called experts to get mixed up in the scenery was proven in a rather tragic manner the other day when a woman who claimed to have unnering judgment in the matter of distinguishing between, polsonous and edible varieties of mushrooms died shortly after partaking of some of the "harmless" mushrooms. Folks who don't have a keener knowledge than this woman should feed the cooked product to the cat first or let the stuff alone entirely. Apple sauce cake is much enjoyed by those who have eaten it. The following recipe is one that is published by a lady at Black River Falls, Wis.: One egg, well beaten; one cupful of granulated sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of sweetened apple sauce, one scant half cupful of lard, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; and one and one-quarter teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in apple sauce; one cupful of seedless raisins and two cupfuls of flour. Beat well and bake in moderate oven. Poor condition in aged horses as a result of a bad condition of the teeth is a common thing. Occasionally the same thing is responsible for untrifle condition in a growing hog. The writer remembers the case of two horses that were of the same age and ate of the some trough, yet one flourished and the other was thin and poor. When cornmeal was substituted for shelled corn the runt began to pick immediately. The natural inferen from this was that its teeth were out of whack. Scores of young orchards are got to pot every year because the own think they can work the tracts as calf pasture proposition before the target to a bearing age.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—Second Quarter, For April 19, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Luke xiv, 25-35 Memory Verses, 26, 27—Golden Text, Matt. xvi, 25—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson, "The Cost of Discipleship," is an all important one, inasmuch as few seem to see the difference between being a Christian and being a disciple. One great point of difference is that the cost of our salvation fell wholly upon the Lord Jesus, while the cost of discipleship falls upon us. In our last lesson in this chapter we saw salvation represented as a prepared feast to which all were invited. In Isa. lv. 1, the initiation is, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come *.* without money and without price." This is in accord with the record of the coats of skins provided for Adam and Eve in Gen. ill. 21, in which the Lord did all, and they had only to accept the clothing which He provided by the shedding of the blood of the substitute. In the passover record in Ex. xil safety depended wholly upon their being under the shelter of the blood of the Lamb. In the sacrifices, if the offering was perfect, it was accepted for the offerer, and the priest did all (Lev. 1, 1-4; 1v, 27-31). Our Lord Jesus Christ, who was both priest and sacrifice, having offered Himself without spot to God, has by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for us (Heb. 1x, 11-14), and therefore eternal life is the free gift of God since He has paid such a price for it (Rom. ill, 24; vl, 23; John iv, 10). "I will give unto him that is atrist of the fountain of the water of life freely." "Whosoever will let him take the water of life freely" (Rev. xxl, 6; xxl, 17). Since our Lord Jesus has finished the work of providing eternal redemption the only thing for the sinner to do is to plead guilty, receive Him as his own personal Saviour and then take Him at His word concerning his acceptance in Christ, the forgiveness of sins and the possession of eternal life (Rom. ill, 19; John i, 12; ill, 16-18; v, 24; vl, 37; x, 27, 28; Eph. i, 6, 7; I John ii, 12). He who would put anything as necessary to salvation between the sinner and the Saviour, such as reform, good works, a changed life, money or aught else, does not understand the grace of God and frustrates the same, according to Gal. ii, 21. With this made plain we are now ready to consider the matter of discipleship and its difficulties or what it costs to be a whole hearted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. The privilege is as open to all as is the gift of eternal life to any penitent sinner. This is indicated by the words, "If any man come to me" (verse 26). Whether for salvation or discipleship, it must be according to Lev. 4, 3, "of his own voluntary will." Notice the three times repeated "Cannot be my disciple" of our lesson (verses 26, 27, 33) and the conditions, preferring Christ to father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters or one's own life; bearing the cross and forsaking all that we have. Well may we say, Who is sufficient for these things? I said preferring Christ to our dearest loved ones, because in Matt. x, 37, it is written, "He that loveth father or mother, * * * son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." The greatest lover should have the greatest love and be in all things pre-eminent. There is a way today of making religion (so called) easy and alluring to ordinary people. Even cards and the dance and the theater are not prohibited if only people can be persuaded to join a church. This is as far below our Lord's method as earth or hell is below heaven. It is unthinkable that He would at such infinite cost to Himself deliver us from the wrath to come that we might live as we please here and yet expect to share His glory. Is it not also almost as unthinkable that one who has been delivered by such a sacrifice should be unwilling to follow fully such a deliverer no matter how great the cost? Paul saw it correctly when he said, "I even reckon all things as pure loss because of the priceless' privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I have suffered the loss of everything and reckon it all as mere refuse" (Phil. iii, 8, Weymouth). "God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world" (Gal. vi, 14). Our Lord said to His Father in His prayer that last night, "I am no more in the world, but these are in the world," and He also said to His disciples that evening, "The world seeth me no more, but ye see me" (John xvii, 11; xiv, 19), implying that we are here in His stead and that He expects the world to see Him in us. He never pleased Himself nor sought His own will or His own glory (Rom. xv. 3; John v, 30; viii, 50), and we are here to manifest His life in these mortal bodies. The life that does not savor of Christ is good for nothing, in the light of His kingdom and glory. (verses 34, 35); Matt. v. 13). This life of discipleship is spoken of as "serving the living and true God," "denying ungodliness and wordly lusts," and while it can only be by the love of Christ constraining us the attitude that controls is always waiting for our Lord's return (I Thess. 1, 9, 10; Tit. ii, 11-13).

Perry, Supt A. B. Singfield, Gen'l Sunt Ancient Money. In Biblical days silver and gold coins were struck of such weight, that one of them represented the value of a particular animal, says the Chicago News. Thus the word kestish (used in Genesis), translated "pieces of money," means literally a lamb. The Latin pecunary comes from pecus, a general name for sheep and the smaller animals. In early times coins bore figures of a horse, a bull or a hog, together with the names of the animals pictured. Afterward, as values changed, the figures upon the coins no longer bore representations of their value in cattle, but figures representing a rose, an eagle, etc. A Lame Excuse. "A French sentinel in Algeria," said a playwright, "had for his colonel a very tall, lanky, round shouldered man. This round shouldered colonel one night was making a quiet inspection. Passing the sentinel, he found, to his rage and indignation, that he was not challenged. So he returned to the man and roared: "You didn't challenge me!" "N-no, sir," faltered the sentinel, saluting. "Well, why didn't you?" the colonel demanded. "Excuse me, sir," said the sentinel, "but I thought—I beg your pardon, sir—I thought you was a camel." "Air usually has no weight, but when placed in a barometer a square inch of it is found to weigh about fifteen pounds." "The 'fiannelette peril' means petticoat government."

"In the British empire the sun always sets." Unspeakable. Anxious Author—What do you think of this play? Manager—You had better send it to a movie concern. Anxious Author—Why? Manager—Words cannot express the sadness of it. Dartmouth Jack o' Lantern. A QUERY ABOUT UNIONS. A reader makes inquiry as to the matter of raising onions. The land intended for the patch should be as free as possible from weed seeds, and it is better if it was plowed last fall. Onions are heavy feeders on soil fertility and for this reason the land on which they are to be grown should be rich. As soon as the frost is out the land should be given a shallow plowing, or thorough disking and then harrowed and floated. The seeder should be regulated so as to put the rows about sixteen inches apart, while the seed gauge should be set so as to sow the seed from an inch to and an inch and a half apart. Before deciding how thick to sow the seed it is well to test its germinating power. In his own experience the writer has found it more satisfactory to sow the seed a bit too thick and thin when the plants were three or four inches high, than to sow sparingly and have from half to two-thirds of a stand, for it takes just as much time to cultivate a part of a crop as a full crop. One should start the cultivation as soon as the slim green rows can be seen, and this should be kept up at frequent intervals, and particularly following heavy rains, and with soil that is likely to pack and bake. Where the soil is none too rich it may be well to apply fertilizers. For this purpose a mixture of 825 pounds of tankage, 850 of bone meal and 325 pounds of muriate of potash has been found to give very satisfactory results. This should be supplied with the drill close to the seed rows. Some onion growers give a second application when the plants are about six inches high, the fertilizer being scattered close to the rows. In deciding what varieties to grow, one should be guided by the preference prevailing in the markets one would be most likely to ship to. One of the most popular varieties is the Red Globe, and it not only fetches a good price, but is a good keeper and is prized by the housewives who use them. For the northern portions of the country, where there is danger of early September frosts, every effort should be made to get the seed in as soon as the condition of the soil will permit so as to insure early ripening. A dollar or two, more or less, in the initial cost of the seed is a small matter in a crop that will gross between $200 and $300. Hence none but the best seed should be used. If it is good and has strong germinating power three pounds will be ample to sow an acre of land. CARING FOR BROOD SOWS. CARING FOR BROOD SOWS. The Kansas experiment station has been carrying on some experiments during the past three years along the line of the care of brood sows that should be of definite practical value to hog raisers everywhere. In 1911 from thirty-three of the station sows litters averaging 7.0 per sow were raised. The next year twelve Duroc-Jersey sows weaned ninety-six pigs. Last year an equally good showing was made from a still larger number of sows. The care of the litters was started when the sows were bred. The mothers-were forced to take a moderate amount of exercise every day during the period of gestation. The feeds given during the period included corn, shorts, wheat bran, tankage, oilmeal and alfalfa hay. For the early portion of the period the ration consisted of a little corn, some shorts and tankage and all the alfalfa hay the sows would eat. Bran and oilmeal were added the last few weeks. The aim in feeding was to bring the sows to farrowing time in a laxative condition and in good thrift and medium flesh. WAS HE WORTH IT? Farmers of those conservative sections where the idea seems to be deeply rooted that the way their grandfathers did agriculturally is plenty good enough today and where no effort is made to hide contempt for the county agricultural expert should be interested in the following record of ten months' work of such a demonstrator who is in the employ of Merrick county, Neb. In the period mentioned he traveled 9,040 miles in answering the calls for assistance which he received from the farmers, in the course of which travel he visited 543 farms. He had 478 callers on Saturdays in his office, had 2,000 telephone talks, received 200 letters from his employers, the farmers, wrote them 800 letters and spoke at twenty meetings, at which 2,000 farmers gathered. In addition to numerous field demonstrations he vaccinated over 2,000 hogs, valued at $17,000, among which there was a loss from cholera of but 3 per cent. He spotted forty cows that were of the star boarder stripe and weren't giving milk enough to pay for their feed. Did this man earn his salary? POOR SEED CORN AGAIN. H. M. Cottrell, agricultural commissioner of the Rock Island lines, has lately sent out warnings to the farmers of the middle western states that the seed corn that is available in much of the territory tributary to this system is of very low grade this year. He states that there is very little good seed in southern Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and northwestern Texas, seed from last year's crop being unsafe to plant and much of the 1912 crop showing poor germination. He further warns farmers against buying seed corn outside of their own counties and particularly from any considerable distance, as a reduced yield is almost sure to result. J.C. Piigg Society Woman a Candidate For State Schator of Colorado. A Colorado is to witness an interesting campaign for the office of state senator. Mrs. James J. Brown, prominent in Newport and Denver society, is the candidate in opposition to Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson. Mrs. Brown is a survivor of the Titanic disaster. While Denver is her home, she has of late years spent much time in the east. Her niece, whom she chaperoned, was recently married to William J. Harper, Jr., of New York, and since then she has felt she had more leisure to devote to personal and public affairs. Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson became widely known through the fact that she was the first woman elected to the office of state senator. She is a good public speaker and has lectured throughout the country. In the senate she gave her attention to a bill intended to ameliorate the condition of women and children—a field in which the woman legislator may find, much opportunity for usefulness. Appreciation of Cats. Cats have many sins for which to answer, but some of them should be forgotten for a little while in recognition of the act done by one wise and faithful cat in a suburb of another city, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some time ago this animal awakened its master from a sound sleep by its persistent pawing. On getting his eyes open the man instantly realized that his house was on fire. Having time to check the flames, he finally put them out. There is no doubt that cats vary much in disposition and intelligence. Some resemble dogs very much in their faithfulness, while others, like the cats in Kipling's "Just So" story, like to "walk by themselves" and are not interested in people. The suburban cat is not always appreciated by neighbors who love birds and who see in the feline only a bitter enemy of bird life. When one loves both cat and birds it is hard to reconcile such a viewpoint. One way to help matters is to keep pussy in the house every night during nesting time, for there are more depredations during the night than in the daytime. Dishwashing Problems. That dishwashing problem, we all know, is always with us! Labor may be saved by wiping greasy plates with a piece of paper before putting them in the water. If the plates are scraped with a knife before putting them in the dishpan a lot of unnecessary washing can be saved. In cleaning forks, which are really awkward things, for so much lodges between the prongs, a stiff brush is preferable to a cloth, and in drying glasses a warmed cloth gives excellent results. These may seem trifling matters, and perhaps they are, but they save both time and labor—and temper, too sometimes. Saucepan covers are often hung up exposed to the air and, where gas is used, to fumes which have a discoloring effect. The result is a great deal of unnecessary polishing and cleaning, which might all be avoided if the covers were inclosed in calco bags or even in paper covers, cut to shape and pasted together so that they could be easily slipped on and off. The frequent burnishing by this simple method would be avoided. Lighting a Fire A capital way to light a fire quickly if sticks of wood are not obtainable is to put a few pieces of newspaper at the bottom of grate and soak a few lumps of coke for a minute or two with kerosene. Place these on the paper and apply a match. The flame will be found to "get hold" immediately and in a very few minutes there will be quite a good fire. ALFALFA.

What is the crop that always pays, Which may be cut each forty days. Resisting drought, the frost and heat; Whose roots reach down full twenty feet? Alfalfa! What grows in loam and clay and sand; What lifts the mortgage off the land; What crop is cut three times a year, And of never a failure do you hear? Alfalfa!

How One North Dakota Man Gets Greatest Return From Crops. A North Dakotaan realizes the maximum returns from his wheat and rye crops by converting these grains into flour which he sells at $3 a hundred pounds. In his locality it was practically impossible to obtain good rye, graham or whole wheat flour, so this farmer started growing and grinding his own grain. As he became proficient the quality of the flour improved until finally his neighbors were annually demanding his surplus at hand-game prices. This keen demand for high quality flour increased until he decided that it would pay him to equip a small mill thoroughly and to embark in the business on a commercial scale. A stream of considerable velocity flows through his farm and furnishes the power with which to operate his machinery. He equipped his miniature mill with a crusher, a grinder, a cleaner and an elevator. The income from his flour business during the first two years paid for his plant and equipment and yielded him a good net profit. This miller eliminates all the charges that usually go to the middle man. He annually raises about eighty acres of wheat and thirty-five acres of rye. Some of this grain he sells as a cash crop on account of inadequate bin room in which to store it, but more than half of the crop is converted into flour to be used for human food. A gasoline engine is also maintained as a reserve source of power in case the water power should give out. The marketable flour is neatly sacked and sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Annually the rye and wheat have a farm value of about 60 and 82 cents a bushel respectively where they are sold as cash crops. At a slight expense as regards time and labor this shrewd farmer converts his raw wheat and rye—that in the bulk are worth approximately, $1.07 and $1.10 a hundred pounds—into excellent flour that sells for $3 a hundred pounds. Yearly this progressive farmer is gaining an attractive income from his milling operations, since he also grinds grain for his neighbors. This labor in nowise interferes with his farm work, as the greater share of the mill work is done during the period when field work is relatively slack.—Country Gentleman. A Handy Harness Box. The next time a new set of harness is bought take a box and fit it with doors so that it may be closed tight. Hang the harness in this when it is not in use. It is a surprise how long it will look neat and stay in good shape when cared for in this manner. A box 2 by 3 by 4 feet high is a good size. Screw harness hooks will make good hangers. A little box may be attached to the inside of the door for holding combs, brush, etc. Plowing In Winter. There is a diversity of opinon as to the advisability of plowing in winter. It is generally conceded, however, that sod lands should be plowed in the winter season. The freezing and thawing of the soil put it in much better condition than it can be put by the plow and harrow after the spring has opened. Winter plowing also destroys many insects that would damage crops if they were allowed to live. There will be much more moisture laid up in the soil and saved for the use of the growing crop the next year if the plowing is done during the winter season than there would be if it were left until spring. The capillary connection with the subsoil will have time to be renewed if the plowing is done early. The South Atlantic Bärber chen Headquarters for barber supplies and shoe polish.

JOHNSON, --- They Are to Be Very Popular. For Spring Wear. X NEW BLACK AND WHITE GOWN. The common sense costume shown here is a Potret creation. It is intended to be worn under a spring coat, and its lines particularly adapt it for youthful figures. Black and white checked serge is combined with plain black cloth. It is ornamented with ball buttons in black and white. The vogue of checks is foreshadowed in this as in many other spring models. Much attention may be given to buttons, as on all the well made tailor mades the buttons are a striking note. The lesser precious stones are being used for these trimmings, so we see buttons in jade, amber, lapus lazull, cornaline, agate, etc. Moreover, it is not an extravagance to pay a good price for a set of buttons, as they can always be used on something if they have intrinsic value, no matter what the fashions. And just now they have a very obvious value, for it is in details chiefly that the marks of good dressing are to be found. NECKWEAR A LA MODE. High Collars Are Favored For the Coming Season. The neckwear fashions of the present season are designed to please women who have thin necks. The high medici and the Mary Stuart collars are favorable to the concealment of gaunt neck lines. Illustrated here, is one of the new plaited neck frills with satin tie to be worn with a simple morning blouse. The butterfly bow is used in every conceivable way by spring fashion designers. A bow in wired black tulle is also illustrated here. At present the lavish display of beautiful neckwear in the shops indicates a continuance of the styles of A SPRING NECKWEAR. the midwinter season and the introduction of many new novelties. Designs vary from the small, trim roll back collars to the full, lace edged, quantify fashioned berthas. The distinguishing feature about these new collars is their extreme sheerness. Even the Plauen collars are lacier than ever and some very prettily designed. These show up particularly well on a dress of dark serge. Collar and cuff sets of dainty embroidered batiste are so sheer that they have the appearance of gauze. Making the Little Farm Pay NO reader of this department need fear that purely theoretical farming is urged at the expense of practical methods.

These articles are written in the benefit of established landowners as well as amateurs, and much commendation has come from experienced men who realize the shortcomings of ordinary farming. For instance, while I urge the advisability of growing fruit in localities which have the advantage of good markets, I should dislike to see farmers in the central states or anywhere else devote themselves to this single industry. That would be about as foolish as exclusive grain raising or dairying. The orchard belongs in a scheme of mixed farming, together with poultry and hogs. Important facts for fruit growers are that orchard land may be made to pay double and the fertility of the soil maintained without extraordinary effort. While the trees are coming to maturity land earns nothing for five or six years unless there is a plan of vegetable raising, when a return of $100 an acre is easily secured and the soil is benefited by the necessary cultivation. Unless such a system of cropping is established a nonbearing orchard is apt to be neglected, and this results in waste of time, investment and land. The cultivation of vegetables or small fruit in an orchard is therefore for the purpose of securing immediate profits and keeping up the quality of the soil. It goes further than this, however, for it makes the land return a living income even in unfavorable fruit seasons, when late frosts, insect pests or other destructive agencies have spoiled the apples, pears, plums and cherries. Apple and cherry trees should be planted thirty feet apart; plum, pear and peach trees twenty to twenty-five feet apart. The trees need to stand in straight rows to permit the free use of a horse cultivator in the vegetable and berry patches. One of the most common mistakes in farming is to plant trees too near together. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are necessary for the fertilization of fruit trees and plants in general. Nitrogen can be obtained in stable manure, but the principal source is air, and we may obtain it by growing legumes. Vegetable gardening carried on with the aid of barryard manure is an excellent treatment for orchard land. Phosphorus may be obtained by the use of raw rock phosphate or bone meal. Potassium is contained in large amounts in our ordinary soils in a more or less unavailable state. To get more potassium in such a shape that the plants can use it we can either apply soluble potassium salts or unlock that which is already present, in abundance. Experiments have shown that it does not pay to apply potassium to ordinary soils, provided decaying organic matter in the form of manure or cover crops is worked into the soil. The decaying organic matter will liberate the potassium. It may not be generally known that apples are about as hard on land as wheat or corn, except they do not take from it as much phosphorus. A 425 bushel apple crop will remove from the soil about the same amount of nitrogen and potassium and half as much phosphorus as fifty bushels of corn or twenty-five bushels of wheat. Therefore a thorough system of gardening not only makes the orchard land do double duty, but restores the soil fertility. If for any reason gardening cannot be carried on in a thorough way in an orchard I should recommend legumes in place of manure as the source of nitrogenous organic matter. It is shown that a cheap way to grow legumes is to apply ground limestone and rock phosphate. The cost of this treatment would not exceed $2 per acre per year, which should not seriously interfere with this system of fertilization. POTATO NOTES. To secure an early supply of new potatoes next season plant the tubers of any good early variety in pots and start them in the house. Four or five inch pots can be used, filled only about two-thirds full of soil, leaving room for a top dressing of soil to be supplied as the plants grow, after the manner of hilling up potatoes when grown in the garden. One potato is sufficient for each pot. Time the planting so the plants will be well started in the pots when they are to be transplanted in the garden at the time the tubers are usually planted outdoors. If there is a well ventilated, cool, light place, such as a cold frame or cool greenhouse, in which to grow them potatoes can be raised in pots and full sized tubers developed very much earlier than the first crop from the garden. Ten inch pots will be sufficiently large. Rub off all the eyes except the strongest for pot culture. The one thing that came home to me with great force was that Germany is in no way loose jointed or idle, but, on the contrary, strong, red blooded, avid, imaginative. Germany is a terrific nation, hopeful, courageous, enthusiastic, orderly, self disciplining, at present anyhow, and if it can keep its place without engaging in some vast, self destroying conflict, it can become internally so powerful that it will almost stand irresistible.—From Theodore Dreiser's "A Traveler at Forty." A Famous Old English Church. The Church of St. Botolph in Boston, England, is a long, low, decorated building, with a high perpendicular tower surmounted by an octagonal lantern, locally known as Boston Stump. The tower is 300 feet high. The light and spacious interior has very lofty arches resting on slender pillars. The church is said to have as many doors as days in the week, as many windows as weeks in the year, as many pillars as months in the year and as many steps up to its tower as days in the year.

Alabama's Iron Ores The boom which followed the discovery of the extensive deposits of iron ore in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala., in 1882, was without precedent in the industrial history of the United States, and the rush to Birmingham was paralleled only by the stampedes which followed such discoveries as the Comstock lode in Nevada and the Alaska gold fields. The iron ores of Alabama, while inferior in quality to those of Lake Superior, have the advantage of being near deposits of good cooking coal and of the limestone requisite for fluxing, so that Birmingham, the Pittsburgh of the south, can manufacture pig iron cheaper than any other district of the world.—Argonaut.

I painted the portrait shortly after the emperor's death," and the empress was very particular about the color and shape of his eyes. She wore a bracelet with a miniature of one of his eyes painted on ivory in a medallion upon it. She stood beside me for hours holding the bracelet so that I could see it in the best light and not miss any of the details." Surpicious Actions "I wish," said the head of the firm, "you'd keep an eye on the office boy." "Very well, sir," replied the secretary. "Do you think he has been stealing postage stamps?" "I have no idea what he has been doing, but he's up to mischief of some kind. For three mornings now he has had all my papers placed upon my desk just as they should be, with nothing to indicate that he has, been reading the sporting pages. There's something very suspicious about it."—Chicago Record-Herald. Louis Rubin Cash Grocery DEALER IN Groceries and Greengroceries Cigars and Tobacco Fruits. Etc. N. E.

Chief of bureau of farm crops, Iowa agricultural experiment slut Success does not always come with first attempts with alfalfa, but that should not be discouraging. The percent of failures in securing a stand of alfalfa is not so great as with many other crops commonly grown. Very simple measures turn failure to success. For instance, in a number of cases where the seeding of alfalfa failed without inoculation, the mere addition of 300 pounds per acre of soil from an alfalfa field or from a sweet clover patch brought success. After inoculation the soil produced a fine growth of alfalfa. In other sections of the state, particularly in the south-central, the application of from 1,500 pounds to 3,000 pounds of lime per acre brought success when various other trials without lime failed. Perhaps the most important thing in securing a stand of alfaifa is the liberal use of manure even on soils above the average in fertility. Its application before plowing has increased AN IOWA ALFALFA FIELD. the yield of alfalfa notably. On all soils below the average the use of manure has been absolutely essential to securing a satisfactory stand and yield. In buying alfalfa seed, as in buying seed for other crops, the highest price seed is usually the cheapest. In order that the seed may all be sowed under proper conditions for germination, should preferably be put in with an ordinary grain drill, and in average so covered to a depth of about one inch. To distribute the seed uniformly it is good plan to set the drill so to go only about ten pounds per acre and then to go over the land twice for example, crossing the field north, south first and then east and west. There has been much discussion regarding the variety of alfalfa suited to Iowa conditions. Since the per cent of winter killing has been comparatively low and seed of the harder varieties is very high price and also uncertain as to priority the only variety which can well be recommended for general use is that known as the common American. This grown almost altogether in such stur as Kansas and Nebraska. Seed grown on nonirrigated land, under conditions so nearly as possible the same as are found in Iowa, is usually preferral. No hay should be relied on yet that the alfalfa is seeded. Sp. seeding may be clipped once or two when necessary to keep down the weeds, but a good growth should cover the ground when frozing we. comes on in the fall. Usually the alfalfa should be when about one-tenth of the head in bloom, which generally is early June, as this is about the time the new shoots begin to appear at bottom of the stalk. Much has been said regarding difficulty of handling and curling first cutting, but reports from men in Iowa who have the l. acreages state that alfalfa is not difficult to cure than red clover number have said that it is easier cure. Various methods of curing has used successfully. In dry, sunny weather alfalfa one afternoon may be raked the leewing day, put in bunches and of it stacked the same day. It is important that as few of leaves as possible be lost. Ir to save the leaves many grow the alfalfa into windrows as it has wilted and before the leaves dry, bunch the hay with a soon as dry enough to stack it at once. This method also eli the labor of cocking the hay, a which has been found desirab number of men who handle lages. Where one has much alfalfa cure a side delivery rake will be to be of the greatest value. Where the hay is to be cut late in the afternoon or the ing, raked before dinner and cocks in the afternoon. Here be left for two or three days. of hay covers assures one difficulty in curing even in cutting and produces a hay excellent quality. The Care of Eggs. The perishable nature of too little understood. Damp above 60 degrees, strong odor delay in marketing, are factor very quickly destroy fresh good quality of eggs. Protect Small Trees See that the grass is pulled from the base of small trees put wire protectors about mice or rabbits cannot injure during the winter. Among the Masons In these days the social feature of Masonry are receiving great attention. Entertainments of various kinds including almost all phases of innocent amusement are given by lodges or by associations formed by lodge members. It is well that this be so, for the ties of brotherhood are strengthened thereby. The features of Masonic teaching affect the character of our pleasure. We learn by the association of our many forms of entertainment with the moral principles the fraternity inculcate how to enjoy ourselves without yielding to many temptation. In these days of extravagance and foolish dissipations it is commemorable for our fraternity to encourage wholesome pleasure and to make provisions at the Lodge meetings to contribute to the uplifting and moral good of the brethren.—Masonic Sun. THE CABLE TOW How many of our Fraternity know the real import and meaning of the Cable Tow? Originally it was a chain or rope of some kind worn by the I or those about to be initiated, to signify their belief in God and their dependence on Him, and their solemn obligations to submit and devote themselves to His will and service, and the fact that He is neither naked nor clothed is an emblem that he is untutored—a more child of nature—unregenerate and destitute of any knowledge of the true God as well as being destitute of the comforts of life. This is the state in which we find all candidates. The chain was used by the Druids and Egyptians as a symbolism, as stated above. Also that he was being lead from darkness into light, from ignorance to knowledge of the one true and living God, Creator and Judge of all. That the rope appears around the neck of more than one in these picture soenes—seven in some—is only a symbol of the seven powers —as "the seven rope." and each one of the wearers of these represents one of the seven powers or attributes of Horus I in their ascerdotal duties. Originally it was one only which was associated with Horus I and Amsu—the risen Horus or Horus in the spirit. Horus, having been led or passed through dangers, difficulties darkness and death in the underworld, emerges as Amsu, the first, risen man-God, and attached to his crown of two feathers—denoting the two lives, earthly and spiritual—is this cable-tow or rope, as a symbol that it is a "power" which has led him through from earthly to spiritual life.—Albert Churchward in The Trestle Board. A BRIEF SERMON A Southwestern preacher the other day delivered a brief but very beautiful funeral sermon. Here it is: A word to you all. Post-mortem praises and love are in the air. People kiss the dead when they never stop to kiss the living; they hover over caskets in hysteric sobs, but fail to throw their arms around their loved ones who are fighting the stern battle of life. A word of cheer to the struggling soul in life is worth more than the roses in Christendom piled high on the casket covers. The dead cannot smell the flowers, but the living can. Scatter them broadcast in their pathway, therefore, and pluck out the thorns before it is too late.—Masonic Home Journal. MASONIC PRIDE --- To be proud of being a Mason is commendable, particularly if the pride is of the right sort. We have seen some who have traveled a long way up, and yet were not very high Masons after all. They had degree knowledge, but precious little of the old baptism. They were proud of being Masons because of its personal honor, and yet they made no efforts to build up the institution itself. What it had done for them they were well enough pleased with—but what they could do for it they had never yet tried. Every Mason ought to be proud that he is one, because it makes him that much more of a true man; that is if he has the stuff in him to make it of. If he has not, then, alas! for the widow's son. To be a Mason is to be a citizen of the world for, travel where he may, he will find fellow citizens—men who will know him who will fellowship him. Isn't all this an honor? Then who are they that will recognize him? Will they be vagabonds, cheats, for ignorant loafers? No not one, word of it. He will find himself among the royal blood of humanity—the fin- ished gentlemen of the rarest charity. True they must be roughly clad, like some we met the other day in the great railroad shops of the north. Yet they were nobleman, well worthy of any man's recognition—of any man's grip. We felt proud to be classed with such men. They were our brothers, and had we called for it they would have rallied to our assistance with the steady readiness of the clans of Rhoderick Dhu. We are talking of true Masons now, not of mere things. We pity any poor victim who has gone through all the corridors of the glorious temple, and then come out only a thing in Masonry, after all. He may well be pitied, for he must be a sham man as well as a sham Mason. The Mason of thought, of soul, of dignity, integrity and honor has a right to be proud of his Masonry; for it has helped him to conquer himself—to squelch his native littleness, and to climb up and get on top of the great mountain of human dignity and charity—then he ought to be proud of it and never while life lasts, hide himself away from the three great lights of his holy altars—Martin H. Rice. Paper Bag Trolics. Busy mothers may discover in paper bags many possibilities for amusement and exercise for their children. They will prove a boon on many a stormy day. A small bag inflated and tightly tied makes an excellent air ball to be batted upward with the palm of the hand. When two or three boys and girls try to bat it before it falls to the floor there is plenty of excitement. The bag will stand a good deal of batting. A larger bag filled with wool or pieces of soft woolen cloth and tied tightly serves well for an indoor football and will do no injury. A paper bag the size of an ordinary punching bag can be stuffed, tied and hung in the doorway just low enough for a youngster to punch. Paper bags of any and all sizes will give pleasure when the children want to play shop. Smoothed out paper bags can be used for kites and will amuse the little tots. The bags should be tied to the window sill outside and left to flutter against the panes. Land of Wheelbarrows. The wheelbarrow is the most common medium of transportation in Shantung, China. The load is balanced about the wheel so that the workman does not have to carry a portion of the load, as is the case with the American wheelbarrow. Some wheelbarrows have but one push man, some having a pulling man as well. Some have one, two and three donkey- to aid in the pulling, and some are equipped with a sail to obtain the help of favorable winds. The equipment depends on the load carried, the maximum load being about a ton.—Chicago Journal. Aurora Borealis. The aurora borealis is a combination of two Latin words meaning "northern dawn." In Great Britain it is seen as an arch of whitish green or rosy light in high northern latitudes during clear nights, especially in winter. In the arctic regions it is a vivid mass of ribbon-like bands of light extending in irregular half circles, one above the other, from the horizon where the sun has set. As it disturbs delicate magnets, it is believed to be due to electric discharges controlled by the magnetic forces of the earth. The Lone Star State. Texas is sometimes referred to as the Lone Star State. This is owing to the fact that for a brief period before the American civil war Texas was an independent state, and prominent on her national flag was one solitary star. A Costly Drink. Sir Thomas Gresham, the millionaire merchant of Queen Elizabeth's day, in order to shame the Spanish ambassador, who was extolling the riches of his master before Elizabeth, remarked "that the queen had subjects who at one meal would expend a sum equal to the daily revenue of the king of Spain and all his grandees put together." Soon after this the Spanish ambassador was invited to dine with the English knight, when the latter drew from his pocket a pearl for which he had shortly before refused $75,000, ground it to powder and drank it to the health of his mistress, the queen.—National Magazine. PAST AND FUTURE 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. Our Shadow. Our Shadow. Always there is a black cloud on our sunshine. It is the shadow of ourselves.—Carlyle.

Dr Hale declared once that he had had a special revelation. He was down in Maine with an agreeable company of fishermen, and he must needs leave the trout brook in order to get to Boston in time to prepare his sermon. As he thought of the old trout rod and the new sermon, the "revelation" suddenly came to him something like this: "It is far better to preach a good old sermon than a poor new one. Edward Everett Hale, stay where you are and go a fishing!"—Boston Cooking School Magazine. Just So. "Why do you write so many letters to the newspapers, old man?

"The largest white polar bear I ever saw," said an old whaler and hunter, "was shot in November, 1885, about 150 miles northeast of Point Barrow, Alaska. It measured twelve feet two inches from tip of tall to nose, six feet three inches in girth, fifteen inches across from ear to ear and possessed a seven inch skull, while the track made by the huge beast covered eleven inches in length.
