Aside from the regular and most interesting sessions of the League itself arrangements have been made for an Industrial Parade on Thursday afternoon, August, 20, which shall embrace a large number of floats upon which will be represented the progress and industrial achievements of the Negro of Oklahoma. Thirty (30) full blooded Seminole Indians in native and picturesque costumes are planning an entertainment at the Fair grounds, following the Industrial Parade on Thursday.
On Friday afternoon, August 21st, the delegates will be given a view of the city. A live-stock and agricultural exhibit, showing the great possibility of the South west section, will be open for the inspection of the delegates; also, on Friday evening, a grand banquet will be given in honor of the delegates.
On Saturday, August 22nd, a special train will leave Muscogee for Boley, Okla., the largest and most prosperous Negro city in the United States. The train will pass through some of the richest agricultural land in the world, much of which is owned by Oklahoma colored citizens.
For the annual meeting of the League, the Southwestern Passenger Association has announced through its chairman an intention to authorize an open rate of four cents a mile for the round trip from all points in the territory of the Southwestern Oklahoma, selling tickets August 16th to 18th, inclusive with final return limit to the original starting point August 31st.
The Western Passenger Association through its chairman also announces an intention to authorize an open rate of two cents a mile in each direction from Missouri and Kansas to Muskogee and return, tickets to be sold on August 16th to 18th, inclusive, with final return limit to reach original starting point prior to

Progressive Republican Club
The Progressive Republican Club yhich meets every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at Our hall has been having some very interesting meetings and invites all citizens who are interested in increasing the number of Negro voters in the county to meet with them as often as possible. On the coming Wednesday night the club will addressed by Mayor LeGree of Burroughs, and others.
Dr. Gilbert to Speak
Dr. M. W. Gilbert, president of the Baptist College at Selma, Ala, will be in the city tomorrow and will preach at all of the services of the Second Baptist church. Dr. Gilbert who is well known in the city, is an excellent speaker and no doubt a large crowd will be out to hear him. midnight of August 31st.
Application has also been made to the Southwestern Passenger Association embracing the states south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, for reduced rates, and these, will most likely be granted on the basis of four cents a mile for the round-trip. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad with headquarters in New York City, is planning to provide for the transportation of delegates from the eastern territory, New York City, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, and for all the eastern delegates who plan to be present at the meeting. A special Pullman car will be provided if enough delegates signify their intention of making the trip.
Delegates will most likely be present at the coming meeting in larger numbers than ever before from the Southern and Southwestern states. It is expected also that the East will not be neglectful of its duty, considering the fact that the Southern states have always been so largely represented at all the meetings which have been held in the North and East.
The annual session of the affiliated organizations of the League will be held at the same time—The 'Negro National Pankers' Association, The National Funeral Directors' Association and The National Negro Bar Association, a group of the country among Negro people.
Further information as to details, plans for the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from: Booker T. Washington president; J. C. Napier, chairman, executive committee, or from: Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

MASONS TO MEET TUESDAY
AMERICUS TO BE HOST TO GATHERING
Representative Crowd to go up From the City—Grand Master H. R. Butler to Preside at Sessions—Order in Excellent Condition
Tuesday morning, June 23, at 9 o'clock promptly, the Forty-Fourth Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge, Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons will open in Americus.
This Grand Lodge was organized forty-four years ago in Sayannah with three lodges, Eureka No.1, Hilton No.2, of this city and Bannaker No.3, of Augusta. From these three lodges have sprung nearly four hundred others dotted in every section of Georgia and spreading the light of Free Masonry. Connected with these lodges are men in every walk of life, representing the best in every community.
The order has done untold good since its organization: spreading its teachings of uplift, giving charity here and there and inspiring men to nobler impulses and right living. It is the first order in the state and the only one among our people that supports fully a home for the widows and orphans. It has also its eleemosynary department which contributes thousands of dollars each year toward the beneficiaries of deceased Master Masons.
The progress of this grand old order has been more marked within the past twelve years than ever before. This was caused mainly by the Grand East, and assisted by his faithful and efficient officers and the hearty cooperation of the members of the Grand Lodge and the interested brethren of the jurisdiction. For this excellent condition of affairs the brethren give unstinted praise to our beloved Grand Master, Dr. H. R. Butler. He manages affairs with love and consideration, in fact only as a true Mason should. His reports are always replete with practical thoughts and suggestions. His advice along lines of every day living, and quizzing the brethren about their personal and community improvements have done more good possibly than anything else. There is no selfishness in his actions, nothing of the politician, with an ever desire to forgive the erring ones.
The communication next week will be an interesting one. All of the officers will render reports replete with good things.
SEVENTY-NINE TAKE EXAMINATION
LARGEST NUMBER OF APPLICANTS EXAMINED
Opening of New Cuyler Street School Cause of Increase Many Recent Normal Graduates among Those Trying for Number
On last Saturday morning the teachers' examination for grammar schools in Chatham county was held at the Chatham academy.
There were seventy-nine Negro applicants who took the examination, the largest number ever to present themselves at any time for positions in the public school system. The opening of the new Cuyler Street school in October is probably the cause of this great increase of applicants over previous years. The new school, it is understood, will be opened with a full corps of teachers which means at least the addition of ten teachers in the city system.
Among the applicants to take the examination were many of the recent graduates and upper students of several of the leading normal schools of the south. Four men were also included in the number. Those to be examined were Miss Rosa Ashton, Miss Ethel Adams, Miss Wilhelmina Alexander, Miss Carrie Austin, Miss Frances Brown, Miss Florence Banks, Miss Louise Bing, Miss Ophelia Brown, Mr. W. H. Brown, Miss Melissa Brown, Miss Nettie Bissard, Miss Jessie Blair, Miss Ethel Bythewood, Miss Etta Cannick, Miss Eva Cannick, Miss Erma Curley, Miss Justina Carse, Miss Rosa Collins, Mr. J. H. C.

Teachers Association to Meet Here
To all the teachers of colored youth in Georgia: Greetings. I shall hereby call your attention to the forthcoming session of the Georgia Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, which meets with the Georgia State college, Prof. R. R. Wright, LL. D., president, Savannah, July 28-30. For many reasons this ought to be an epoch making session. Indifference on the part of teachers of the state has almost completely destroyed the only organization that colored teachers may call their own. This ought not to be so, and it is the duty of every, Georgia teacher to rise up and say it shall not be. As president of the association, I appeal to every teacher in the state who teaches colored children to join in this movement to bring about this new life in our teachers' association.
The Georgia State College, thru the kindness of its president, generously agrees to entertain the association two days free of charge. The teachers who attend will be given an opportunity to meet educators from all parts of the south and to gather such information first hand as is not found in books or periodicals. Let the Georgia teachers make a good showing and lasting impression upon our visiting guests. The program this year is an unusually interesting one and has been so arranged that every teacher who will do so may take part upon it. To those desiring pleasure a pleasant excursion to Beaufort, S. C., has been arranged.
In the event any teacher may find it impossible to attend, if he will send his enrollment fee of 50 cents, together with his name and address to Prof. H. H. Hunt, Fort Valley, Ga., he may thereby be enrolled as a member of the Georgia Association of Teachers in Colored Schools.
Cards of Thanks.
Mrs. Isaac K. Heyward and family wishes to thank their many friends for the kindness shown during the illness and death of their husband and father and for the floral offerings.

Banquet Given Agents Pilgrim Insurance Company
MANAGER SINGFIELD COMPLIMENTS HIS FORCE
General Debit of Company Increased One Hundred and Fifty Dollars—General Manager Hornsby and Pay Master Guests
In recognition of an increase of about one hundred dollars in the general debit of local branch of the Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company for the past two months, a banquet was tendered the agency force on last Saturday afternoon at the company's offices in the Williams building by Local Manager A. B. Singfield.
The affair was a most inspiring and delightful one and was attended by about seventy persons including guests and agents. The contest for increased business was started by the manager during the first part of May and its large returns even surpassed his most sanguine expectations. The agents of the Pilgrim have always shown themselves to be willing and anxious to do all in their power to assist the manager in increasing the business of the company and their work of the past two months, which resulted in such a marked increase in business, showed in no mistakable way their loyalty and high regard for him.
After the contest for an increased general debit had closed, the annual contest week for collections was started and this resulted in one hundred and fifty per cent of the general district debit being collected. The Pilgrim is one of the strongest companies of the state and its local branch employs twenty-four agents and four clerks.
Among those at the banquet were Paymaster G. J. Winkfield, and General Manager W. S. Hornsby, both of Augusta. Short talks were made byDr. B. W. S. Daniels, Dr. J. W. Jamerson, and Messrs. E. H. Burke, J. C. Lindsay, W. W. Hill, G. S. Williams and L. L. James, Jr. The prizes won by the successful competitors were presented by Mr. E. W. Sherman.
Dr. M. O. Lee in the City
Dr. M. O. Lee, of Albany head of the Lee Chemical Company, was in the city this week inspecting the company's new building which is being erected on the southwest corner of West Broad and Maple street lane. A slight change in the original plans to the building were made by Dr. Lee. The building will be ready for occupancy by about September 1st.

APPEARANCES
Do not allow yourself to be misled by appearances. Epictetus says: "Appearances to the mind are of four kinds—things either what they appear to be, or they neither are nor appear to be, or they are and do not appear to be, or they are not and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task."
Dancing on Talcum Powder.
Dancing on Talcum Powder. It has been found by experiment that the best dancing floor is made as follows: Upon the ordinary floor a sheet of rubber half an inch thick is spread; a certain smooth surfaced linoleum is laid over this, and talcum powder is sprinkled upon it every day. The highly polished waxed wood floors of a few years ago are too slippery for the modern dances. The shoemakers soon learned this and introduced pumps with pads of rubber inserted in the soles.—New York World.
THY BETTER SELF.
Be true to thy better self. The noblest thing you ever did, the noblest emotion you ever felt; the deepest and most self sacrificing love ever in your soul, that is your true self still through all the baser life into which you may have fallen.—Phillips Brooks.
A Shipwreck.
Muggins, gazing intently at a dead dog, in a resigned tone at last said:
"Here is another shipwreck."
"Shipwreck! Where?" blurted out Juggins.
"Where, my dear friend?" quoted M.
"There is a bark lost forever."
Juggins growled and passed on—London Fun.
Tipping the Attache.
A good story of the younger days of Sir Herbert E. H. Jerningham is told in the London Mall. As an attache and feeling very pleased with himself, as he records, he was once told that he was wanted in the anteroom of our embassy at Paris. There an old man addressed him as a "clerk" and demanded a passport to Russia. When he received it he handed Sir Hubert half a crown, saying: "It's for you, you know. I know what clerks are. Bless you, they do like an occasional tip."
FLEETING TIME
Make the most of the time allotted to you. Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man—yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So, for the hair's breadth of ashes assigned to thee, live rationally and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.—Marcus Aurelius.
Got Even With the Clerk.
Got Even With the Clerk.
Mr. Jawback-This gown is not becoming to you, and it is expensive.
Why did you buy it? Mrs. Jawback-
Because the clerk looked as if he thought I thought I couldn't afford it.
-Cleveland Leader
It Doesn't.
"He who bests laughs last, you know." "Does that include the Englishman?"—Exchange.
Badly Named.
There is a man in a midland town whose name is Burst. It is a misfortune that would not have attracted much attention if he had not called his two children Anna May and Ernest Will.—London Mall.
The Blue Sky.
The blue sky which reveals itself as the hemispherical vault.of the firmament in the absence of clouds is the far depths of the air sending back to the observer some part of the solar illumination which they receive. The light thus returned to the eye is "blue" simply because the particles of the air are of such exceedingly diminutive size that they can effectively deal with only the smallest of the luminous vibrations—that is, with the "blue" undulations. There are a few faint interminglings of the other colored rays in the blue of the sky, but they are in such trifling quantity that the blue swallows them up.
Didn't Get a Chance.
She—What did papa say when you asked him for my hand?
He—Why, he couldn't say a word.
"He couldn't?"
"No. Your mother was there!"—Yonkers Statesman.
Freshening It.
"Don't you ever change your mind?"
"Of course," replied Miss Cayenne.
"It is very desirable to change your mind occasionally in order to call attention to the fact that you had any in the first place."—Washington Star.
Flowers and Spices Antiseptic
The odor of cloves has been known to destroy microbes in thirty-five minutes, cinnamon will kill some species in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty-five minutes. In forty-five minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the odor of some geranium flowers has destroyed various forms of microbes in fifty minutes. The essence of cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid fever microbe in twelve minutes and is recorded as the most effective of all odors as an antiseptic. It is now believed that flowers which are found in Egyptian mummies were placed there more for their antiseptic properties than for merely ornamental or sentimental purposes.—London Globe.
Homemade Humor.
There is a judge in a certain eastern city noted for his grouch. The most comical incident has no more effect on his frown than upon a wooden ludian. But one day a lawyer who had tried in vain to make the judge laugh walked into court and found the jurist doubled up with mirth. The lawyer hurried to his colleagues.
Making It Easy.
Wife—What's this—a new box of cigars? Didn't you just swear off smoking? Hub—Certainly! That's why I bought this box; I'd be crazy for a cigar if there wasn't one in the house. —Boston Transcript.
A. Mean Man.
Tommy—Pop, a man is a bachelor until he gets married, isn't he? Tommy—And what does he call blimself afterward? Tommy's Pop—I'd hate to tell you, my son—Philadelphin Record.
4 Businessliko.
The Beloved One — You object to Horace because he's not businesslike. Stern Parent—Certainly; he's only after you for your money. Beloved One—Well, pa, doesn't that prove he's businesslike?
There Was a Change.
A government inspector, entering a rural postoffice, expressed surprise upon seeing a woman at the delivery window. "I was under the impression," said he, "that a man was in charge of this office." "And so he was," replied the woman sharply. "but I married him."—Atlanta Constitution.
"I need not tell you," says the philosopher of folly, "that when an orator starts with the words 'I need not tell you' he goes right ahead and tells you all that he need not tell you."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Worse Off.
"The bachelor is worse off than the married man? How do you make that out?"
"The married man is afraid of only one woman; the bachelor is afraid of all of them."—Houston Post.
Notes That Come Due.
Kent—Are you ever affected by the lingering notes of "My Old Kentucky Home?" Bent—No, but the lingering notes of my remodeled New England home frequently take a rise out of me. —Judge
Such Vanity.
"I have always wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet of farm life."
"Why don't you? You're rich enough to do as you please. I should think you'd buy a place in the country and spend the rest of your days in rest."
"I would, only I'm afraid my friends would think, if I gave up the gay life, that I must be getting old."—Chicago Record-Herald.
Cutting the Finger Nails. Cutting the finger nails appears to have been the most indispensable service the ancient Roman barber rendered to his patrons. Martial, chaffing a fop who had tried to dodge the barber by using plasters to remove his beard, asks triumphantly, "How are you going to manage about your nails?" And the miser in Plautus collects the parings of his nails from the barber to make something out of them, apparently never dreaming that he could save money by cutting them himself.

A fact little known is that the home of witch hazel is in Connecticut. The annual output of this article is about 25,000 barrels, of which the greater part comes from a limited district in eastern Middlesex county. The rest comes from New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.-Indianapolis News.
Being a Good Boxer
In a story in the American Magazine by Elmer E. Ferris one of the characters comments as follows on the advantages of learning how to box: "The good of it lies right here. It increases a man's self confidence, and that protects him from trouble. Haven't you ever noticed among dogs that when a dog is a scraper the other dogs leave him alone, but if he is afraid they pitch into him? Men are something like that. Another thing: Boxing increases a man's aggressive spirit, although if he is anything of a gentleman it doesn't make him quarrelsome. Then, too, it is better than any other exercise in taking the fear of physical injury out of a man."
So It Does.
An Irishman was asked how many legs a horse has. "Eight," he replied; "one at each corner and two on each side."
"Don't you think that a foolish answer?" he was asked.
The Irishman replied with wisdom when he said, "A fool question deserves a fool answer."—London Answers.
The Glove on the Pale.
A quaint custom in an English town. Honlton is "proclaiming the fair." The town obtained the grant of a fair from the lord of the manor so long ago as 1257, and the fair still retains some of the picturesque characteristics of bygone days. The town crer, dressed in picturesque uniform and carrying a pole decorated with gay flowers and surmounted by a large gilt model of a gloved, hand, publicly announces the opening of the far, as follows: "Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The fair's begun, the glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down." Hot coins are then thrown among the children. The pole and glove remain displayed until the end of the fair.
A Clock Case Made of Pennies.
A novelty in clockmaking consists of a timepiece whose case is made of English pennies. The coins, of which there are ninety-six, all bear the date 1797 and were beaten out to almost double their original size and then riveted together, while the figures were made of small strips of copper cemented on to the face. The clock stands fourteen inches high and is eight inches broad at the base. That "time is money" is an adage with which we all more or less agree, but this is a case in which the saying might be reversed and still remain true. The clock is owned by a resident of Laurel Bank, Ilkley, Yorkshire, England.
The Goveted Hand.
The young man had gone to the heiress' father—always a ticklish job—but he took his courage, with an iron grip. "Sir," he blurted out, "I want to ask you for your daughter's hand." The old man, not in the least disconcerted, said: "Which hand? The one she signs checks with, I suppose."
Both Disappointed.
Wife—If I'd known that you were after my money I would never have listened to you. Husband—And if I'd known you'd be so mighty close with your money I would never have proposed. Philadelphia Ledger.

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 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? Mrs. Bocker—Very. If I give him a poor dinner he wants a divorce and I give him a good din-obbying.—New York
Mexican Hata.
A hat such as is worn by Mexicans may coat anywhere from 5 cents to $500. The better ones weigh from six to eight pounds and carry many dollars' worth of silver and gold trimming.
The Sleepless Seven.
"There were seven of the twelfes," 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 suppose, 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.

sional election in the southern
states will mark atleast the be-
ginning of the end of that class
of southern statesmansbip whose
only claim to prominence and
position is the ability to abuse
and villify the Negro. By the
result of the primary recently
held in South Carolina, the Pal-
maetto State has shown its repu-
diation and disgust to the Blease
idea of statesmanship and all that
appertain thereto. We have no
doubt that when the proper time
comes, South Carolina will only
select those to represent her who
willbe a credit and not a dis-
credit to her past and present
history. But what of our own
State, Georgia? As the politi-
cal pot continues to boil and the
senatorial bee goes a humming
right along, ever and anon there
can be discerned floating about
and among us ,some isolated
statesman impregnated with Ne-
fro abuse. And why this? As
‘we scan the two most prominent
senatorial candidates, we see the
one, a dignified, office holding
Southerner who goes about ad-
dressing young people at their
commencement exercises giving
to the voters of the ‘State in the
meantimo if he is elected to the
United States senate the educa-
tional and other interests of the
State will command his attention.
On the other hand, we see anoth-
er candidate for senatorial hon-
ors. His text onall occasion is
Negro subjugation. In order to
please the voters of the State and
thus gain their support, he gives
them to understand that his main
business in Washington, if elect-
ed, will be to keep the Negro
down; to seek the repeal of the
15th amendment and to deny to
Negroes the right to hold office.
What a contrast between the two
candidates the one to participate
in constructive legislatién; the
other to give his time and energy
to legislation of a destructive na-
ture. We believe in the conser-
vatism and good judgement of the
people of our State. Our faith
is upshaken in the belief that it is
their desire to elect men and not
demagogues to the high represen-
tative offices which are within
their gifts. When voting time
comes we, believe that the good
people of Georgia, who believe in
fair play, and they are increasirg
in members daily, will choose and
choose wisely between the two
men, the one to push forward the
State in all things that make for
her material prosperity, the other
to attempt the impossible of keep-
ing back-one half of the State
while the other helps to push for-
ward the other half. We repeat
that ualess the signs fail as we
see the hand writing on the wall
for the Negro heating fire brand.
May our signs point in the right
direction.
It is altogether pleasing to the
members and friends of the Ur-
ban League under whose auspices
the Inter-Scholastic Base Bal]
League of City Public Schools
was organized and managed, to
note the success which has come
to the loague during the first year
of its existence. From the very
neginning of the league until the
throwing of the Jast ball for the
season 0a last Saturday, the keen-
est interest was evinced-by both.

rious schools represented. It was,
indeed a rare treat to witness one
of the games and note that ona’

tition, strong and yehement Jan-|

sence. There was little squab?)

contrary, the umpire’s decision

them in the meantime that rough!
and vulgar tactics are altogether!
uncalled for at any time, the Ur-
ban League has begun a rich and
commendable work. Special
praise and commendation ought
to be theirs. The moral makeup
of our boys has been toned much
higher by this attention of them
on the part of the Urban League.
[as wese it now, there is avery
reason to expect great and lasting
[results from the organization of
lthe League. We believe that the
,boys ‘who have engaged in the
'games as well as those who were
‘lookerson, bave been taught to
realize that even in play there are
‘certain rights which they ought
to give their fellows and which
they are bound to réspect. We
believe that they have been taught
to know that politeness and kind-
ness to eaclt other are as necessary
‘in play as in any other activity in
which they may find themselves
engaged. The Inter-scholastic|
Base Ball League among City
Public Schools is a fine and time-
ly organization. It has been well
started. The business men, teach—
ers and other professional people
have given it their support almost
unreservedly. We see no reason
why the League should not grow
stronger and stronger each year.
We believe that it will. The
[ribune stands ready to give its
id in the futnre as it has done in
the past, to this worthy mpve-
nent in behalf of our young peo-|
re.

‘The chief essential in a Masonic
Lodge isharmony- Where har-
mony is absent all our professions
of charity and brotherhood are in
vain and the Masonic institution
is mocked. Wheré it prevails we
haye the principal requisite of an
ideal lodge. In all of our lodges
‘we devote a great deal of time to
preaching harmony and brotherly
love, and some of our time, to
practicing it, but Masons being
merely human, are subject te the
frailties of human nature. Begin-

they some, times stray from the
straight path of duty and forget,
for'the time being, the Masonic

their dealings with the brother-

A natural and prolific cause of
dissension among the brethren is
the rivalry and partisanship en-
gendered in the choice of officers.
In ideal conditions men whoare
worthy and well qualified are se-
lected to bear the burdens and
honors of office by the unanimous
chojce of their fellows. There are
no candidacies, and self-seeking
is unknown. Good men accept

AMIZETA SMITH,
who departed this life June 21st, 1913.
It has been twelve months the 2ist of
June when an angel called her from
home.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Dear baby how we miss you
Since you have gone awsy,
Ithas been a year ago—
Tho’ it seems but yesterday.
Sleep on, Sleep on,
For you have 2 crown in Heaven,
For ihe pains you suffered here.
Father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Smith
God-parents,
: Mr. W. J. Williams
Miss Louise Harris
This lot has improvements on it
that will pay 6 per cent on your
money from the, start. The
building of the new bank will
double the value of the land and
hence the value of your stock: ~
This movement should appeal to
your race pride, toyour good com-
mon business sense and also to
your pocket book. A number of
the leading people of the city has
bought stock already; it is your
turn next. ,
In memoriam of my father-in-law
Dr. T. N.M. SMITH,
who departed this life June 19, 1913.
‘So live that when thy summons come
10 join
The innumerable carayan that moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take 7
His chamberin the silent halls of death,
Thou ge not, like the quarry slave a
night,
Scourged te his dungeon, but, sustain-
ed and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave ve
Like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.”"—Bryant.
Such was the life of the deceased,
that when his semmon came June 19th,
1913, to join the innumerable host of
caravans, for indeed they were many
who had gone on before moving to that
mysterious realm. goal Weadmit it
is‘a place of mystery which we can
never fully understand but it is thro’
faith that we view itas a piace for the
final faithful. The poet tells us on fur-
ther, ‘that each shall take his chamber
in the silent halls of death.” To me its
so sadto think when Dr. Smith was
called, he was so far away from home,
‘away from relatives and then entering
the silent balls of death, but when I re-
flect and remember he was 2 man who
prayed and was not controlled by sur-
roundings, be controlled them, yes, he
‘was true tohis purpose. Life’s troubles
did not overwhelm him, they onl;
drove him to a closer communion with
God, His undaunted faith cansedlife’s
sorrows tobe turned into joys that
brought blessings. Hence he did not
go like the quarry slave at nightscourg
ed to his Stageor but when the vital
spark waz about to quit his mortal
frame and whenthegrim monster death
began stealing his senses, closing his
sight drowning his spirit, he exclaim-
od “Tam dying, Lam dying,” there du-
ring the next few moments of silence,
he was sustained and soothed by an un-
faltering trust ashe approached the
chilly waters of the Jordan, and while
he yreoped the qeapery of his coueh
about him, he looked up and said
“Sweet Jesus open wide the everlast-
ing gates and let my soul fly in;” then
it was that the last breath was drawn,
the world receded and it disappeared
from his sight; the heavens opened and
amid shouts of angels ‘‘O receive my
soul at last” my father-in-law entered
the “haven of rest.
Tl meet you in heaven how sweet
the thought, .
When life’s short years are passed,
No more to weep, no more to part-
To meet in heaven at last.
. MARIE IOLA SMITH.

Notice is hereby given that the
‘Mr. C. J. Walker‘who is now in
your city masquerading as the
husband ,of the Madam ©. J.

is an imposter of the rankest
kind. He is the husband of
Cora Walker, of Louisville, Ky.,,
who he recently deserted. I sim-
ply allowed him to handle my
preparations, as any other ordi-

complete failure with their pre-
parations. I understand that he
is trying to sell a recipe claiming
to be mine, claiming it was
patented in Washington, D. C.,
in his name, which isan absolute
falsehood. Any one buying such
a recipe from the said C. J.
Walker and attempts to force it!
upon the people as mine will find

prosecute them to the full ex-
tent of the law. My preparations
are patented and incorporated un-

Lesson Xil—Second Quarter,
For June 21, 1914.
jTHE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
_ By tower
. Our Iessons for many weeks have
‘een found only in Luke's gospel, but
now we'have one recorded with nearly
equal fullness in Matthew, Mark and
Luke. Why the committee should turn
to Mark instead of Luke I cannot tell,
‘but we will look at the harmony of the
three record- ‘The preceding passage
concerning the Ittle children is also
found in these three gospels, but a lit-
te more fully in Mark, for be tells us
that Jesus was much displeased with
His disciples and also that He took the
children up in His arms and blessed
them Glark x, 14, 16). Both Matthew
and Mark say that He put His hands
‘upon them. We shall not understand
the lesson of today concerning the rich
young ruler unless we get frst that
main thought concerning the children.
If the number of times that an event
4s recorded gives an idea of its impor-
tance these two items concerning the
children and the young man must be of
special importance and those recorded
in each of the four gospels of still
greater importance. The other records’
of this lesson are in Matt. xix, 16-30;
Luke xviii, 18-30. Mark alone tells ‘us
that Jesus bad gone forth into the way
and that the young man came running
and kneeled to Him. As in the case of
Zaccheus, he was certainly in earnest
and bad no thought of his dignity as a
rich man, for he xan and kneeled on
the road. ‘The next item is nearly the
same in each: record. “Good Master,
what shall I do that I may inherit eter-
nal life?" as is also our Lord’s reply:
“Why callest thou Me good? ‘There is
none good but one; that is Gog.” If to
this young man Jesus was God, then he
should be willing to submit fully to
Him. If He was not God He was not
good and should not be so addressed.
All who now profess to receive Jesus
Christ as a good teacher, but will not
abelieve that Ie is truly God, should
side with the Pharisees and utterly re-
“Ject Il! for making Himself equal
with God (John vy, 18; x, 33).
The young man's question reminds
us of another under different cireum-
stances “What shall we do that re
might work the words of God?" (Jobn |
‘HM, 28.) Our Lord bronght, the younz
dmau face to face with the command-
Tents with the desire to convince him
of sin, that He might bestow upon him
freely the eternal life which be seemed
to be seeking so eagerly, but he did not
see himself as a sinner and thought
‘that he bad kept all the commandments
from his youth up. The heart of our
Lord went out greatly to him, and
Mark says that “Jesus, beholding him,
loved him” (verse 21). Because He lov-
ed him He sought still further to con-
ince him of sin, and by asking him to
“sell all he had and give to the poor he
would show him that instead of keep-
dng alt the commandments he was con-
tinually breaking the first one by
thinking more of his earthly posses-
sions than of God, who gare them to
him, and that while he seemed to want
life eternal he really wanted his present
Possessions more than treasure in
heaven and his present life in a mor-
tal body was more to him than the life
beyond. Ouly in Mark do we find that
Jesus said to him, “Take up the cross.”
‘The cross means dying to self and
wealth and all that comes between us
and God, and he was-not ready for it.
It was a hard proposition, but the Lord |
Jesus knew his man, for He knew a
men, and it was the only way to deal
frankly with this man. |
Not miny consrezations or aninis-
“ters or sessions or committees wonll
deal in this way with a rich, moral
young man today. Many would be only
too glad to receive him and be careful
not to ask him too many questions for
fear of offending Lim. Some would be
-glad to'take him In for the sake of his
wealth and influence and asi him no
questions. But our Lord saw the value
of his sont rather than all else and
never souxht wealth or favor from any j
one. He cxme to give, not to receive,
nnd the on!y way to obtain eternal Ife
4s to come empty. helpless. believing,
and receive tle Lord Jesus, fa whom
alone is life, as the free gift of God to
every truly seekingwoul (John 1, 12;
A, 16; tv, 10° v. 24: vi, AT; Rom. 11, 24;
vi, 23; I Jolin ix. 11, 12). It fs impos-
sible to obtain it by works or wealth
Rom. iv, 5; Ps. xllx, 6, 7).
It is next to impossible for a self
righteous or wealthy person to obtain
eternal life, for it Is so difficult for such
to see or realize the need or empti-
ness in reference to things eternal.
Yet Zaccbeus was a rich man, and Saul
of Tarsus was a self righteous mun,
and both became truly saved. “With
God all things are possible.”
Peter now comes to the front by say-;
ing: “Behold, we have forsiken all 2nd
followed Thee. What shall we lave
therefor?” Matthew, Mark and Lnke
each record the reply concerning the
hundredfold now ni in the wer'd to

‘There are safd to be nearly half as
many dogs in the United States as
there are inhabitants. This seems to
be a pretty strong statement, judging
from the number of dogs in the locall-
ties in which most*of us live, How-
ever, if there are 20,000,000 dogs in the
country there are about 19,000,000 too
many. *

in this connection is that about one-
third of the roads in these states have
been improved. .
‘There may be some retailers of milk
who do not realize that there is a fed-
eral law against putting any chemical
into milk to keep it sweet, and as many
more in a good many states do not

state laws require that milk sold at

cent of butter fat.
The director of the Colorado ex-

statement that if cut while young Can-

get a foothold on the farm in order to
have stuff with which to fill the silo.
‘There is no need of any farmer buy-
ing commercial fertilizer if the soil

plication of commercial fertilizers with
manures and the growing of legumes
are necessary.

The Washington experiment statior
has lately published some condensed
hints on farm buttermaking which arc
good for farmers everywhere. If fol-
lowed, there would be great improve
ment in the quality of American dairy
batter, The suggestions as given be-
Jow should be used for reference:
Cool the cream from the separator as
soon as possible to 55 degrees F. or
lower.
Never mix warm cream with cool
cream.
‘Mix all the cream to be churned in
one vat or cafi at least eighteen hours
beforechurning.
Ripen at a temperature of 70 to 7%
degrees ¥. for from six to eight hours.
stirring frequently during this period.
Cool cream to churning temperature
a8 sooft as ripe.
Let the cream stand eight hours or
more (overnight) at the churning tem-
perature.
‘The temperature of churning ought
to be such as to make the butter come
in from thirty-five to forty minutes,
usually 55 to GO degrees F.
If it is desired to use artificial col-
oring it should be added to the cream
just before churning.
Stop churning when the granules are
about the size of peas, varying to the
size of wheat, and draw off the but-
termilk.
‘Wash the butter once with pure wa-
ter at the churning temperature, agi-
tating three or four times, and then
drain. :
Wash a second time with water
about 4 degrees ‘abave churning tem-
perature, agitating seven or eight
times, and drain,
Add. the salt wet while the butter
§s in granular form, using about one
to one and one-balf ounces for each
pound of butter, according to the de-
mands of the market. ,
‘Work the butter just enough to dis-
tribute the salt evenly.
If the butter fs to go on the mar-
ket it should be put up in neat, at-
tractive packages. -
A SHEEP AND WOOL CONFER-
"ENCE.
| On June 2, 3 and 4 there was held
in Washington a conference of those
Interested in the sheep and wool {n-
Sdustry. Among many important top
ies discussed were the manufacturing
value of American wools, the improve.
ment of farm and ranch methods of
handling wool, the possible adaptation
of foreign methods to American con:
ditions, the standardization of ‘the
wool clip and the prevention of losses
by dogs and other predatory animals.
As a rule, American wools are of high
quality, but the fudiscriminate, sack-
ing of wool, the use of poor twine and
of insoluble paint fn marking sheep
are jointly responsible for ‘a loss to
producers estimated at from 5 to 20
per cent of the total clip.
RABBITS DESTRUCTIVE.
From the standpoint of the writer it
seems like a good deal of a fiasco for
rabbits to be protected by law. as they
are in a number of central and east.
ern states, when they do a very large
amount of damage to farmers and,gar-
deners. Even though they may pull
up some corn and eat some newly
planted seed, there 13 ground for pro-
tecting pheasants and quail, for they
more than pay for their cost of keep
in the service they render. The rab-
bit, however, performs no such sers-
fce. and the only excuse for encourag-
ing their propagation fs that men and
boys’ may have something to shoot at.
However, this ought not to weigh
against the financial welfare of the
farmer and gardener.
SULPHURET OF LIME.
The following is an English recipe
for making sulpburet of lime, which
4s recommended as a remedy for cur-
ing poultry of the feather eating habit,
Put three or four lumps of freshly
burned lime the size of an egg Into an
fron pot and slake with boiling water,
then stir in about six ounces of flow-
ers of sulphur and add gradually two
quarts of bolling water, stirring the
while. Boil for an hour or so, then
pour ‘off the clear Nquid.” bottle and
cork tight. A tablespoonful of thls
liquid to every six hens, put into the
mash, 1s the best way to give it, Given
a couple of times a week, this remedy
is said to keep the plumage in good
condition and soon puts a stop to the
feather eating habit,
ABOUT TRIMMING TREES.
For those who undertake the trim-
ming of trees for the first time it 1s
a suggestion worth remembering to
saw from beneath close to the tree on
lUmbs of considerable size. After mak-
ing a cut of fatr depth the sawing may
be done from the top side. This pre-
caution prevents the splitting down of
the limb and the marring of the trunk
Just beneath. A further safeguard in
the cutting off of large limbs fs to take
them off n foot ur more from the trunk.

should be removed In such a way that
the cut will he as close to the trunk as
possible and onH Ine with.the one of

Liberal Ditecuats Will Be Arrmnped’:
| SOL. C. JOHNSON,
His Sentiments.
There is a Broadway comedian whose wife is very fond of pets. He blocked her plans for adding to the sociological establishment as well as he could without spoiling the domestic entente, for he disliked pets. Then she wanted ichthyological accessions in the way of goldfish and nagged her husband until he grudgingly consented to the purchase.
"Oh, very well, then," he muttered gloomily. "But I hate the noisy things."—New York Post.
His Trouble.
Friend—Don't worry because your sweetheart has turned you down since you lost your money. There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught. Jilted one—Yes, but I've lost my bait.
Art.
Friend—What! You pawned your one good coat to get canvas for your painting? Artist—Yes. Friend—And how much did you get for the picture? Artist—Nearly enough to get my coat out—Exchange.
They Like to Hear It.
Every pretty girl is aware of the fact, but no young man who mentions it to her will be censured.—Judge. Mineral Waste. Mineral waste in the United States is estimated at $1,000,000 a day by the bureau of mines.
Spiteful.
"My husband is very easy to please."
"I knew that the minute I saw you."—Buffalo Express.
Stubbornness.
Mule headed stubbornness is the perseverance of a man you don't like.—Columbia State.
And Went.
"When I leave you tonight"—began Mr. Stoplate.
"Goodness!" interrupted Miss Ter sleep. "Coming again tonight?"
He glanced at the clock and apprehended her meaning.—Exchange.
Not Garrulous.
1 Client—What! You expect me to pay you 253 francs for taking possession of such a small inheritance! You should have warned me it would cost so much. Lawyer—My motto, sir, is "Deeds, not words."—Paris Pele Mele.
SORROWS.
The sorrow of yesterday is as nothing, that of today is bearable, but that of tomorrow is gigantic because indistinct.—Eumipides.
Vinegar of Arabia.
The Arabs have made vinegar for ages. Arabian vinegar is said to be far superior to any other.
Fatal Disease.
A young painter who had just finished a picture insisted upon a friend calling to see it.
"There, now," enthused the artist, "you see my new picture! What's the matter with that?"
"I don't know," replied the bored friend, "but I should say it was a case of art failure."-National Monthly.
The Parson's Gratitude
Lady Bountiful—Oh, rector, I thought you would like to know that old Jones is laid up with rheumatic fever. Rector—Thank you so much; I'm so glad to hear of a sick parishioner.—London Bystander.
Right to the Point.
"He is a man of few words."
"Yes, and they are. What is there in it for me?"—Detroit Free Press.
Bedonian Women.
Bedonian women usually dress in rags with bright colored bandanna handkerchiefs as headgear.
Quick Recovery.
"The star soon recovered her health."
"Yes. Her understudy made a hit."
—Baltimore Sun.
"That was an awful disaster. Only one survivor. Isn't that terrible?" "Fearful. What a bore he'll be!"
Exotic.
"What large eyes that Boston girl has." "They were grown under glass." Kansas City Journal.
Bad Drop.
"She dropped him instantly." "Oh, I see, and that broke his engagement"—Detroit Free Press. Good For Any Meal.
"What is the best thing any one can get for his dinner?"
"Hungry."—Indianapolis Star.
Very Plain.
Restaurant Patron—That isn't a very good looking piece of meat. Walter—Well, you ordered a plain steak.
Hard Work.
"I understand that she does a good deal of vocal work." "Yes. Her singing is labored."—Judge.
The Race to the Swift.
"Riches have wings," quoted the sage. "But poverty gets to you quicker," added the fool.—Exchange.
Typewriters.
"I sold my old typewriter."
"You did, eh? My brother married his."—Portland Oregonian.
Where He Could Be Found.
It is said that once in Washington at the old Baltimore and Ohio railroad station a man was looking for Abraham Lincoln. An attendant pointed the then little Tad out to him, saying that the lad ought to be able to say where his father was.
Tad said: "No. sir, I can't go and find father for you. He told me to stay right here. But if you'll go out there"—pointing to the platform—"and see a man helping somebody—that's him."—Louisville Times.

CRAPE AFTERNOON GOWN.
Very wide girdles of materials matching the gown are seen on some imported models. Illustrated here is a gown of figured crape in sweet pea shades of pink and lavender. The wide girdle is edged with a ruching of pink taffetta ribbon, an embellishment which is seen also on the short sloped tunic and on the turned, back cuffs. The vest and collar are of white organdle.
CAMPING OUTFITS.
What Is Needed For the Use of the Outdoor Girl.
With summer the careful mother begins to think of camps for her growing girls. Where to send them is no more a matter of weight than how to outfit them inexpensively but comfortably. One sporting goods house has just opened a department for girls wherein everything from cap to sneaker may be obtained.
The first item, if the girl is to go to a regular camp, is, of course, bloomers. They range from black, navy blue, or tan drill to those of black or navy blue serge, finished in the best manner.
Middy blouses to wear with them come in white without trimming, except for the blue or red collar and cuffs. There are stars on the collar, cuffs and pocket. The collar is a sailor one, cut open at the neck, and the sleeves are three-quarter ones. For the smaller girl there are two piece suits of one material. They come in good quality drill, in tan, with a navy blue or red sailor collar and trimming or in solid navy blue without trimming. For girls up to twelve years only the same suit comes in smaller sizes.
One piece swimming suits come in cotton serge in black or navy blue, in poplin in black or brown or in galatea in black or navy blue. They have the bloomers and blouse attached under a belt, but are made loose enough to allow free use of the limbs.
White canvas sneakers, high cut, with rubber soles, are about $2 a pair. They are not the only sneaker or outing shoe carried, however. The shop is stocked with every conceivable camping accessory, from woolen outing stockings to angora tam-o-shanters.
Black and White Wicker.
There is something quite attractive in the black and white wicker furniture. The pieces are so woven that the alternate colors are formed into broad bands or squares to decorate the chairs, tables, couches, etc. The creators of the black and white wicker also make the unusual pieces of furniture that give harmony to plaza and porch furnishings. These include the pretty wicker trays with folding legs (similar to those imported from Japan) and the porch pole vases and various flower holders. Of course these can be bad in new designs in smoked bamboo, but the latter would not harmonize well with the black and white wicker.
The Vogue of Braid
Colored braid is a popular trimming for suits. Usually braid of the color of the suit is used, but sometimes braid in dark blue or black or green is used. Braid sashes are one of the notes for the season. They are generally formed of two strips of braid stitched together lengthwise to form a girdle or sash five or six inches long. They are made of braid 'woven in various combinations of deep red, dark blue and green and black.
Coloring Matting.
To dye matting, thoroughly clean it and then apply the dye with a broad, flat paint brush. A ten cent package of dye makes a gallon of coloring. When dry the matting can be made into rugs if desired. Each piece of the matting should be thoroughly cleaned before another part is done.

Little Baby Del Campo, Youngest Peace Delegate.
[Name]
Photo by American Press Association.
Of course all bright boys and girls know about the trouble in Mexico and the efforts of Uncle Sam to avoid a cruel war. Also they have read about the mediators from Argentine, Brazil and Chile, who have been named the A. B. C. envoy, and the delegates from Mexico who came to talk matters over. With the latter party came the very smallest and youngest delegate ever known. He is little Senior del Campo, son of one of the diplomats attached to the Mexican delegation. Senior del Campo, the elder, acts as an interpreter for those of his party who do not speak English. Of course Baby del Campo is not a real delegate, although he has attracted a great deal of attention. He doesn't need an interpreter either, because, being only six months old, he talks in baby language and everybody understands that, for it is pretty much the same all over the world. At any rate, Baby del Campo is the cutest member of the delegation:
Fourth of July Game.
There are lots of ways of having fun on the Fourth without the use of dangerous firecrackers. If you intend having a party for your little friends you can send out your invitations in the form of firecrackers. These are made of cardboard covered with red paper and a cord sticking out the middle of one end. The note asking your friends to come is slipped in this cardboard casing and sent through the mall. You all know the game of ninepins, don't you? Well, you can arrange the ninepins to look like big firecrackers by sawing down broomstick handles, painting the pieces red and gluing cord at the upper end of each. The pins are thrown down with rubber balls by the players, and each player has three turns. The one throwing down the greatest number of firecracker pins wins a prize, which may be anything appropriate for the day.
Flags of All Nations.
Those who live in large cities can buy all sorts of flags very cheap, but there is a heap of fun in making flags, and a pleasant afternoon can be spent on the Fourth of July if you but follow instructions: Open your dictionary or encyclopedia and find the page with the world's flags on it. Use ordinary writing paper for your flags and toothpicks for your stiffs. Either paste or sew each flag to its staff. Copy the designs from the book with pen or pencil or paint brush. One little boy made a whole set of these flags. He wrote the name of each one on the back and then he took the trouble to look up the history of the origin of every flag.
A Jumping Bone
The next time you have chicken for dinner save the wishbone. Tie a strong string double across the wishbone when it is clean and dry between the wide ends.
Put a piece of stick between the two lines of the string and twist around and around away from the flat side of the shaft of the bone, on which a little beeswax is stuck to hold the end of the stick while you lay the "toad" wax down on the table for a moment. The twisted cord pulls so on the stick that the stuck end soon comes off the wax. the stick springs against the table and up goes Mr. Toad with a jump and a hop. It is fun. Try it.
A Smart Boy's Essay.
Julius was asked to write an essay on "Patrick Henry." He wrote this:
"Patrick was not a very bright boy. He had blue eyes and light hair. He got married and then cried, 'Give me liberty or give me death!'"
Celebrating.
March! March! March!
Do you hear the thousand feet
As they march, march, march
Adown the village street?
Do you hear the drum a-beating
And the life so shrillly play?
Do you stop and look about you
And ask what is the day?
Do you see the flags a-flying
From every house and tree
And hear the children singing
A song of liberty?
Don't you see the happy faces
In the crowds that pass you by?
Do you wonder why they're marching?
'Tis the glorious Fourth of July!

A horse at work appreciates and is benefited by a drink of cold water in warm weather just as much as his owner.
No one in the world works harder than the farmer's wife. Because of this fact she is entitled to every convenience, possible for lightening and simplifying her labors.
Little chicks should, be given a chance to scratch for their chick feed. The exercise thus afforded tends to keep them in good condition and insures their rapid growth.
The world's record for cotton picking was broken the other day by Miss Mary Montgomery of Stillwater, Okla., who gathered 700 pounds in one day. This girl herself weighs 121 pounds. She is a mighty active proposition.
At a recent London flower show one exhibitor showed a practically black tulip—at least it seemed a solid black at the distance of a few feet. This is a floral product that flower specialists have been striving for for a good many years.
The hen that is cooped up with a brood of chicks should be let out frequently to dust and, if she is lousy further measures should be taken to relieve her and her chicks of the pests, for they are sure to get them if she has them.
To the writer there is a good deal of attraction in the old fashioned bluishpink illac. It is a homely color and the fragrance is nothing much, but both color and fragrance bring back the memory of many happy boyhood days when the illac bushes were in bloom.
Not all the suckers in the country are just off the farm. This is shown in the case of the Chicago resident who the other day paid $250 in cash for what he supposed was a device for printing $2 bills—as many of them as he wanted. The country chap would know better than that.
If the germinants get root bound it is a good idea to take slips from them and plant them in good rich soil in the flower garden. By fall, under favorable conditions, they should make thrifty plants which will give an abundance of bloom soon after they are potted and returned to the house.
The writer has found no method so good for warding off crows as that of killing two or three members of the tribe and hanging them up by the hind legs at the top of a pole eight or ten feet long. This kind of warning is so suggestive that the birds take the hint and keep at a safe distance.
It is questionable if one-half of the eggs laid by mourning doves ever come to hatching time. This is due to the fact that these birds are most inoffensive, put up with the attacks of other birds and small animals without protest and build almost slovenly and filmsy nest, which is often wrecked by the wind.
The output of California's grape industry is estimated to have a value of $30,000,000 annually. Three hundred and thirty thousand acres are devoted to the growing of grapes, 50,000 acres being table grape vines, 110,000 acres raisin grapes and 170,000 wine grapes. The total production of all kinds of grapes is put at 900,000 tons annually.
Of the poisonous plants found on the western ranches the larkspur loco weed causes the largest loss to stockmen. Cattle are the chief sufferers, as sheep are not harmed by eating the weed, while horses seldom touch it. The department of agriculture is putting forth such effort as it can to eliminate the danger from this and other poisonous weeds.
A case came to the writer's attention the other day where a hired man dropped the lines behind a four horse disking outfit to chase a nearby gopher. He did not get the gopher; but, worse than this, the horses ran away, and one of them was so badly cut with the sharp disks that it had to be shot. The instance as related seems to make quite plain the wisdom of the old saw that urged the doing of one thing at a time and doing that thing well.
Every acre of garden and orchard would be the better off from the standpoint of yield of vegetables and fruit were it to have a bive of bees. The little fellows do not require a great deal of care, and $5 will give one a start with a swarm and the equipment needed to house them. Apart from the-service they render in the cross fertilization of vegetable and fruit blossoms, they many times pay for their keep in the honey they produce.

The four Catholic colored schools of Savannah have all closed for the summer vacation. Thus the school children can enjoy three long summer months of rest. But these months should not be spent in idleness. It is the most sacred duty of a christian father or a christian mother to know all the whereabouts of a child and be watchful over his home education. School education and home education go hand in hand, one is as important and necessary as the other. Parents should not allow their children to stay too long in the street especially at night or to go to improper amusement places. They should watch while they are no more under the eyes of their teachers, that they attend church regularly and faithfully during

The Oldest Encyclopedia.
The Oldest Encyclopedia. The most ancient encyclopedia extant is Pliny's "Natural History," in thirty-seven books and 2,493 chapters, treating of cosmography, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, botany, medicine, the arts and pretty nearly every other department of human thought known at the time. Pliny, who died 79 A.D., collected his work in his leisure intervals while he was engaged in public affairs. The work was a very high authority in the middle ages.
The Housewife's Work.
"Feeling Mondayish?" said a man at the club. "What's that?" There were explanations, which suggested that the Mondayish feeling was a survival from school days. The man with the Monday feeling admitted he had that slack feeling on the second day of the week, but that as the years had passed Monday had become to him just washing day. This is how he described the week: Monday, washing day; Tuesday, froning day; Wednesday, matinee day; Thursday, early closing day; Friday, tidying up day; Saturday, shopping day, and Sunday the day of rest. The labels were not his own, but his wife's. —London Standard.
Shakespeare and Burns
In a lecture before the Royal institu in London Professor Arthur Keith, in an anthropological study, gave it an his opinion that Shakespeare was a descendant of the bronze age invaders, the true or round head people. This was a remarkable fact, the professor added, for it was this same short headed stock, spread abroad in central Europe, throughout Germany, France and Italy, which has produced the world's finest artists. Burns, he said, on the contrary, was a good representative of the long headed type of man. His skull was very broad and of excessive length and appeared to be closely set to the neck.

high as show birds, but what is important from the utilitarian standpoint is that they deliver the goods and pay for their board bill. It would seem as if the show standards ought to be overhauled so as to give place for fowls that can do something besides look pretty. Until they are changed buyers of the Rarron stock or eggs should not look for show birds from this English stock.
WHAT ONE MAN DID.
WHAT ONE MAN DID.
Last year a resident, of Scott Bluffs county, Neb., kept an accurate record of what he produced on two and a half acres of ground adjoining a good sized town. The record is by no means phenomenal, but it shows what industry and intelligence will accomplish when rightly directed along the line of intensive agriculture on a small scale. Of the land mentioned nearly three-quarters of an acre was used by the buildings and a lot for the cow to run in. On half an acre devoted to small fruits, plums and cherries $135 worth of fruit was produced, $19 worth being used at home. A half acre of sweet corn netted $13.85, and there was enough left for seed, chicken feed and for fodder for the cow. One-fifth of an acre of tomatoes yielded him $104.55, while from another quarter of an acre
he sold $48 worth of popcorn. The rest of the garden was devoted to miscellaneous garden truck, from which was realized enough to bring the total income up to $430.70.
SOME NEW PLANTS.
This year the department of agriculture has distributed in all some 20,000 packages of seeds of new forage plants and grains, chiefly feterita and Sudan grass, which are particularly suited to the semiarid conditions found in the west and southwest. Nothwithstanding the extreme drought of last year, these two and some other new
year, these two and some other new belt crops came to maturity and furnished forage where practically all other crops failed. Feterita is a grain and forage sorghum similar to Kaffir and milo, while the Sudan grass is a wild form of sorghum somewhat coarser than millet. Among other new crops, the seeds of which were distributed, were the Amraoti and Bangalla varieties of field peas, also new strains of wheat, millet and Tepary beans, which latter are especially drought resistant and give much promise as an article of human food.
THE USELESS BOOSTER.
South Dakota has joined the anti-rooster campaign, and Saturday, June 6, was appointed by the state pure food department as a day for killing all roosters not needed for breeding purposes and converting them into potple for the Sunday dinner. The move is a good one and should become general. Hens lay just as well and their eggs keep a whole lot better if the roosters are kept away from them. It is contended that there is not a single factor that is responsible for more rotten and added eggs than their being fertile during warm weather. A few hours under a hen does the business, and the eggs are not fit to market and soon become unfit for anything but fertilizer.
SOME SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.
Here are some interesting facts that ought to furnish a suggestion or two for corn growers. In no ten year period in the history of corn growing in the United States has the average yield per acre exceeded twenty-eight bushels, while no state has averaged for any year over fifty-four bushels per acre. In contrast to these figures is the significant fact that in most every section of the country that pretends to raise corn yields of more than a hundred bushels per acre have been secured. With such low average yields, it is humiliating to contemplate what the production per acre must be of those growers who bring the average for the country down to so low a level.
BATTLESHIPS AND BUGS.
BATTLESHIPS AND BUGS.
From the standpoint of the agriculturist it would seem good judgment to put the next $20,000,000 which will be called for for the building of two new battleships in a campaign which will have for its purpose the waging of a war on the insect pests of the country. The-work might be started in New England, where the gypsy moth is continuing its destructive work, and wind up with the chinch bug in Kansas and Nebraska. Incidentally the money spent in this fashion would be devoted to just as patriotic a purpose as if it were put into battleships, powder and sixteen inch shells.

It is not generally known that the body falls asleep in sections. The muscles of the legs and arms lose their power long before those which support the head and these last sooner than the muscles which sustain the back. The sense of sight sleeps first, then the sense of taste, next the sense of smell, next that of hearing and lastly that of touch. These are the results of careful and lengthy investigation by a French scientist, M. Cabanis.-London Telegraph.
Barrie's Critic.
J. M. Barrie some years ago was persuaded to take the chair at a Burns celebration in Scotland. He was extremely silent and stole away at the earliest opportunity. Next week appeared in the National Observer a humorous article entitled "Mr. Barrie In the Chair," in which Mr. Barrie's lack of social tact was held up to ridicule. Many people thought the writer had gone too far and protested. But the author of the article was Mr. Barrie himself.
