As a representative of the local Negro Business League, Mr. G. H. Bowen will attend the fifteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League which meets in Muscogee, Okla., on the 19th of the month.
The local branch of the National Business League is one of the most wide awake and progressive units of the national body and has a membership of about seventy-five. It has done much to further the interests of the local Negro business men and holds a commanding position among the organizations for the uplift and advancement of the commercial side of the race in this city. In appreciation of his selection to represent the body at the Muscogee meeting, Mr. Bowen tendered the members of the league an informal reception at his office last Friday night and the affair was a most enjoyable one.
Than Mr. Bowen the league could not have a better representative. He is one of the livest and most energetic business men of the city and the leading Negro real estate dealer here. During his stay of a little over three years in this city he has sold real estate to the value of two hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars. Among his sales were several of the choiceest pieces of real estate on West Broad street, a subdivision of 300 lots in the southwestern part of the city, known as Cann park; 800 lots in Central park, five miles on the White Bluff road and many fine residences in the city. Mr. Bowen's latest accomplishment was the organizing of the Union Development company which is capitalized at $50,000.00, ten percent of the amount having been already paid in and the charter for incorporation, which appears in this issue, applied for. The purpose of the company is to take over a valuable piece of property adjoining the Wage Earners new $40,000.00 bank building opposite the Union station. The property acquired by the company is 54 feet by 60, and the charter asked for will grant the company the privilege of increasing the capital stock to $100,000.00. The company will not only improve their West Broad street property but will from time to time acquire other valuable real

Company Did $72,298.06 Business Last Year—Has 17,000 Policy Holders,. Operates 26 .Officers Throughout State and has 115 Employees—J. S. Causey Wins First Prize.
The Guaranty Health and Life Insurance Company complimented its local agency force and friends with an all day outing to Daufuskie Island last Saturday and the affair was one of much enjoyment.
The outing was given in recognition of the successful ending of the contest to increase the local debit of the company, waged for the past few months between two forces formed by the local agents. A prize of one hundred dollars was offered by the company and there was much spirited rivalry manifested by the opposing forces, the Herculean army, under the leadership of J. S. Causey, winning by a slight margin. Aside from this, there were also two prizes, ten and five dollars each, offered for the largest individual increase in business written. These were won by J. S Causey and T. A. Milledge, respectively.
The presentation of the prizes was made with much ceremony at exercises on the pavilion at Daufuskie last Saturday, the crowd of over four hundred excursionists vociferously cheering the victors.

The order, as its name implies, is a fraternal organization with all of the beneficent features known to orders of this nature. It has deposited in the state treasury the required $5000.00 for the protection of its policy holders
Colored Carnegie Library Dedication Draws Large Crowd
The dedicatory exercises of the Colored Carnegie Library, Henry street, east, were attended by a very large and representative crowd. The principal address of the afternoon was delivered by Prof. S.

Lesson VII.—Third Quarter, For Aug. 16, 1914.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Matt, xxi, 33-46
Memory Verses, 42-44—Golden Text,
Matt, xxi, 42—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
During these last days of the week preceding His crucifixion as He taught daily in the temple and went at night to the Mount of Olives He spake many things in His farewell messages to this unbelieving nation. Most of them are recorded by Matthew, Mark and Luke, but some by Matthew only. This lesson, concerning the vineyard and the wicked husbandmen, is recorded in each of the first three gospels. It is the old story of the love of God and the base and sinful ingratitude of man.
He loves the whole world, and "whosoever" meane any one anywhere in the wide world (John ill, 16). He chose Israel to be a peculiar treasure unto Him above all people. He separated them from all people to be His inheritance. He brought them unto Himself that they might be a people near to Him, and He never dealt so with any other nation. He did this for them that through them other nations might learn to know Him for their good. (Ex. xix, 4, 5; 11 Sam. vii, 22-24; 1 Kings vii, 53; Ps. exvii, 20; exvii, 14; Isa. xiii, 11-14) Israel being set aside for an age, He is gathering from all the nations the willing whosoever to be a peculiar people unto Himself that through them the world may believe and know Him (Tt. ii, 14; John xvii, 21, 23). The church, these called out ones, is falling as Israel failed, but He shall not fall or be discouraged, and in His time and in His way there shall be seen on earth the consummation of His eternal purpose in a kingdom of righteousness and peace which shall never end.
His dealings with Israel and their treatment of Him were written for our benefit that we might avoid their failures and bear better fruit than they did (I Cor. x, 6; Rom. xv, 4). We have seen recently that Israel was compared to a vine and also to a fig tree and an olive tree, but the one thing always desired was fruit. Compare Ezek. xv and John xv. The most full account of Israel as a vineyard is found in Isa. iv, 1-7, where His care of it is described somewhat as in our lesson, and He asks, "What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it?" Compare Ps. xxx. 8; 9; Jer. ii, 21; Hos. x, 1.
The householder's going to a far country for a long time (verse 33; Luke xx, 9) reminds us of the story of the pounds and talents, but there is evidently a backward look here to the days of the prophets, as in Matt. xxill, 34-39, as well as to this present age. A summary of their treatment of the Lord and His messengers is found in II Chron. xxxvl, 16. "They mocked the messengers of God and despised His words and misused His prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, till there was no remedy." He was only seeking that which was His own, fruit from His own vineyard for which He had done all that He could, some gratitude for all His love to them. Surely a reasonable expectation on His part, but this cruel treatment of His servants and thus of Himself was their reply to all that He had done for them.
Having servant after servant, only to receive the same fil treatment, last of all He sent unto them His son, saying, "They will reverence My Son" (verse 37). The record in Mark xii, 6 is "Having yet therefore one Son, His well beloved, He sent Him also last unto them." But they said when they saw Him, "This is the heir; come, let us kill Him and let us seize on His inheritance." This they did, and our Lord asks what shall be done unto such husbandmen. Their reply is in verse 41. So He condemns them out of their own mouth. Then He showed them from their own Scriptures that all their evil conduct had been foreseen by the God who so loved them. But it was as plainly foretold that the rejected one would yet be the honored one. He called their attention to Ps. cxvll. 22, no doubt having in mind also Gen. xlix, 24, for there is no more wonderful type of Christ in the whole Bible than Joseph in his sufferings and his glory, his cruel treatment and virtual death at their hands, their rejection of him and his dreams and their literal fulfilling of the same in bowing down to him for their lives after so many years. Our Lord had probably in mind also Isn. xxvll. 16; Dan. 11, 34, 35, 45. See the references of Peter and Paul to the same great truths concerning Christ as the stone rejected, but yet to be honored (Acts iv. 11; 12; I Pet. 11, 6; Eph. 11, 20).
When men grow angry in their rebellion against God and nations rage and kings and rulers take counsel against Him He can laugh at their impotence and say in quietness, "Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion" (Ps. 11, 1-6). The believer may well rejoice that "the counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations," that "every purpose of the Lord shall be performed" and say gladly, "I know that Thou canst do everything and that no thought of Thine can be hindered" (Ps. xxxiii, 11; Jer. 11, 2; Job xlii, 2; margin). But what about the fruit, the much fruit, which the branches should be yielding Him because of His great, unfailing, unchanging love? Is He seeing in us of the travail of His soul?

New York's First Law School. Now that New York's four law schools are graduating hundreds of pupils annually, it is interesting to recall the time when New York had no law school and a local newspaper could say, "It is strange if a series of law lectures in so large a city as New York would not pay." This was printed in June, 1855, in an item which began, "Mr. George H. Moore stated at the late alumni dinner of New York university that a law department of that institution was really created, and its professors really delivered their inaugural addresses." Benjamin F. Butler, Esq., Judge Kent and the late David Graham constituted the law faculty—New York Tribune.
How He Lost It.
Some time, comments the Manchester Guardian, in telling this story, one suspects the coming generation of artfulness. The boy approached his parent and said, "Father, do you know the tide came up and carried off my comic paper?" "Don't worry, my son." said the genial parent, "It can't be helped."
It was at this point that an angry and inconsistent father proved that it could and ought to have been helped.
An Ornament to Paris.
The Place de la Concorde in Paris is one of the most beautiful places of its kind in the world. It was not until 1763 that the grounds were first adorned by the erection of an equestrian statue of Louis XV. and Gabriel, the architect, constructed the balustrades and pavilions that are seen today. The present design, however, was made by Hittorf in 1854. In 1792 the statue of the king was removed by the populace, and the square became known as the Place de la Revolution. During the bloody period the guillotine was placed here, and Louis XVI was executed on Jan. 21, 1793, and in the following October the unfortunate Marie Antoinette shared a like fate.
His Hot Dinner.
The voice of the tempter was heard outside the works at Saturday midday. "Bill, come and 'ave a plut." "Not me; I've a nice 'ot dinner waiting."
At this point the hospitable man lost his temper. "Go 'ome, ole man, to your bread and mustard."—Manchester Guardian.

THE Red Cross society celebrates its fifteenth birthday during August. Fifty years have rolled by since the holding of that first international convention in Geneva, Switzerland, when the Red Cross treaty was adopted. That was on Aug. 22, 1864. For a half century the humanitarian arms of the civilized nations of the world have been marching to the relief of distressed peoples under the banner of the red cross on a white ground. Almost in every place where human beings exist today the Red Cross is recognized as the insignia of mercy, succor and neutrality.
Partly due to the work of the United States sanitary commission in safeguarding the health and alleviating the suffering of the sick and wounded during the civil war, conferences were held in Geneva in 1863 and 1864, at which first fourteen, then twenty-five countries were represented, out of which grew the organization and recognition of permanent Red Cross societies throughout the world.

RED CROSS NEUPS PARADISE.
RED CROSS NURSES PARADING.
agents of the United States sanitary commission subsequent to the convention of 1664 were the first relief workers to use the red cross sign and flag in actual service.
Now that the world forces are engaged in a titanic struggle the preparations of the Red Cross are on a scale so vast that the dollars expended will rise into millions and the numbers of nurses and doctors sent to the scene of the fighting to the tens of thousands. The American Red Cross society has chartered a ship and will send to each country involved in war doctors, nurses and hospital supplies. The ship will sail under the Red Cross flag and by treaty can enter any harbor in the discharge of its beneficent duty.
There is scarcely a civilized country in the world which has not its Red Cross society. Turkey, where the sign of the cross may enter not, has the Red Crescent society in its place. The endowment fund of Austria is over a million dollars, and with property valued at $741,249 the total wealth of the organization in that country amounts to well over $2,000,000. There are over $5,000 Red Cross members in Austria. The estimated wealth of the French Red Cross body amounts to nearly $5,000,000. The Russian Red Cross is a strong one. For the purpose of facilitating the work of tremendous detail and importance done by the Red Cross its activities are in charge of four bureaus—the medical bureau, the bureau of nursing, the bureau of material and the bureau of information.
In the United States there are over 5,000 nurses ready for a call of the Red Cross. The organization in this country is relatively new and has but a fraction of the strength which it has attained in some of the European countries since its inception in Geneva. As a preparation for the service which will take them into camps where sanitation is of the most primitive and into low lands and marshes where climatic conditions are almost fatal to the newcomer every man or woman who will see service under the Red Cross insignia is vaccinated against smallpox and inoculated with anti-typhoid serum.
One of the interesting features of the Red Cross activities in connection with the present war is the possibility of the using of Esperanto as a medium of communication between the nurses and doctors of various countries. The officers of the German and French Red Cross societies have been particularly interested in the teaching of Esperanto to their surgeons and nurses. A few years ago at a Red Cross gathering in Dresden all exercises were conducted in this language, and it is possible that while the powers of Europe are engaged in the greatest conflict of modern history the nurses and surgeons of the Red Cross will be wiping out geographical and national barriers by communicating with one another in a tongue significant of universal brotherhood.
Milady's Mirror
Sun Baths For the Hair.
In some cases the scalp becomes extremely dry and the hair wry and brittle when exposed to the salt air. It is then necessary to use a lit oil to replace the natural oil.
While the sun has an ill effect upon wet hair'(salt water) it is very beneficial when the hair is dry. So while at the seashore a daily sun bath will be good.
Take off the cap, shake out the hair and let it float in the breeze, running the fingers through so the hair roots may be benefited by the air, sun and ventilation. This treatment if persevered in will be found to work wonders and incidently mean a saving of time and money, for professional treatment will be entirely unnecessary upon the return home.
Headache Cure.
For summer headaches there is nothing better than an aromatic sponge. Any good cologne or toilet water can be employed for this, though Florida water, bay rum and lavender water are perhaps the most effective.
Fill a basin with very hot water. Add cologne until the vapor of steam arising from the mixture is pungent; then with a bit of old, soft table linen dipped into the water bathe the face gently, patting it rather than rubbing it.
Use a rotary motion on forehead and temples and when the face feels soothed reheat the water or add more, dip the cloth into it, wring out a little and allow the dripping cloth to rest at base of brain and behind the ears.
Then lie with body relaxed and eyes closed for at least fifteen minutes.
Shapely Finger Nails.
To keep the finger nails a good shape file them every day rather than cut them once or twice a week. Before filing the hands should be thoroughly washed with soft water and good soap. The file should be used lightly from the sides to the middle. Don't trim the nails to a point; it is ugly. A rounded form is far prettier. A little good cold cream or olive oil should be rubbed into the nails before filing if they are inclined to be brittle. It will prevent them from splitting.
A Cleansing Cream.
For cleansing the skin try the following cream: One-half ounce each of white wax and spermaceti, two ounces oil of sweet almonds and two ounces of rosewater. Melt the wax and spermaceti, add the almond oil and when well blended remove from the fire and add the rosewater, stirring briskly till cool and creamy. You can dissolve a tiny pinch of borax in the rosewater if you wish or can add ten drops tincture, of benzoin while stirring the cream.
Saw the Entire Faces.
A man at the international polo games remarked that he had never seen women's faces look so well. He puzzled at it until a woman enlightened him as to the reason—their hair was brushed away from the brow and temples. This new collage shows all the face, and it even goes so far as to uncover the ears. This is a part of a woman's anatomy that she has skillfully kept from the public for the last four years.
Eyebrow Tonic
A good tonic for the eyebrows is made with two ounces of petroleum jelly, one dram of tincture of cantharides, fifteen drop of oil of lavender and fifteen drops of oil of rosemary. Apply night and morning with a tiny brush. This can also be used on the eyelashes, but must not be allowed to get in the eyes since any oily preparation will infiltrate them.
Damp Hands.
Needlewomen who suffer from damp hands will find it is an excellent plan to rub the palms of the hands occasionally with a solution of borax in a little alcohol. When sewing keep a sponge saturated with the solution ready at hand and occasionally squeeze it in the palms of the hands, allowing the moisture to dry without wiping.
Nervous Headaches.
Nervous headaches are a common complaint among women. If a doctor is not consulted the best treatment is to keep the patient in bed and allow nothing to come near her which might worry her. All troubles should be kept away and perfect quiet preserved until the overwrought nerves resume their natural condition.
The Secret of Beauty.
Good health, good grooming and a good complexion are the secret of feminine beauty and charm, and it is a woman's own fault if she does not possess all these. Much depends upon her choice and use of her toilet accessories, for eternal vigilance is the price of beauty as well as of liberty.
Deep Breathing
When you breathe deeply your muscles gradually strengthen, your eyes glow like twin stars, your chest becomes full and rounded and your pale cheeks are stained a vild red.
JUST out of her teens. Grand Duchess Marie of Luxemburg faces a crisis in her career as ruler of the second smallest independent kingdom of the world, for the Germans have ignored the neutrality of Luxemburg and used that route to advance into France. The small grand duchy lies in the direct line between Berlin and Paris, although not connected with the latter city by railroad. The fact that its fortifications were dismantled and there is no chance to offer any defense against an invasion makes it the logical point from which the kaiser could pour his troops into France, and he made the most of it.
Since the time when robber barons of the twelfth century stole the small section from the kingdom of Charlemagne Luxemburg has been in the control of practically all the powers of Europe. At different times she has belonged to Spain, Austria, France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. In 1S15 it was made a grand duchy and taken into the Germanic federation. By the treaty of London in 1S67 it was proclaimed neutral territory, and all the fortifications were dismantled. It was then under the control of the king of Holland and remained a part of the Dutch monarchy until 1S80. At that time Queen Wilhelmina ascended the throne, and the Slaie law prevented her ruling over Luxemburg.
The throne of the grand duchy was then given to Duke Adolph of Nassau, a direct descendant of William of Orange. His only children were women, and it appeared probable that the throne would again change hands. But the Luxemburg parliament decided differently. Setting aside all precedent, the oldest daughter of the grand duke was declared the heir apparent. Her claims were disputed by Count Merenburg of the Nassau family, but he was overruled.
Unlike Belgium, Luxemburg has never before been used as a battle ground by the French and Germans. When France controlled Lorraine her string of forts on the frontier made the territory very strong against attack. Then, too, the rocky hills and crooked rivers of the grand duchy made it difficult to move troops through that section. But since the annexation of Lorraine by Germany and the dismantling of the forts in Luxemburg, the French frontier at that point has been made the most handy for an attacking force.

of this system. After much discussion
an exception was made in 1891 which
permitted the French to run lines to
Arlon in Belgium and to Metz.
Luxemburg contains 998 square miles and is mostly mountainous country, being situated on the plateau of Ardennes. It has a total population of 295,543. The capital is the city of Luxemburg, which is 117 miles southeast of Brussels, thirty-four miles north of Metz and 200 miles from Paris. When it was held by the Prussian troops it was so strongly fortified that it was called the "Gibraltar of the North." In 1900 it had a population of a little more than 20,000.
At the time when France and Germany were both having troubles in Africa it was said that the Germans would give France certain concessions on that continent if they were allowed to annex Luxemburg. At that time the French refused to make such an agreement, since they considered the neutrality of Luxemburg was of importance in guarding the weakened frontier.
Although, as is the case with Belgium and Switzerland, Luxemburg is a neutral country, she has not been permitted by the powers to have an army. On that account there was no way of making Germany respect her neutrality, and the kaiser was left free to move his troops through the little grand duchy.

TRIALS OF LIFE
The difficulties, trials and temptations of every kind in this mortal life really drive us up into the higher elements of our nature, practice us in them, make us veterans as distinguished from militia untried in the field, old men of wisdom and experience as compared with young men just coming into the trial of life.
The Joy That Killed.
A senator was praising the humor of a certain congressman.
of a certain congressman.
"His humor, however," he concluded, "is rather grim. I told him the other day about a mutual acquaintance who had dled, a man he had never liked.
"And his wife is dead, too," I said. 'He himself died on Monday; his wife died two days later. The papers didn't say what killed her.'
"She was tickled to death. I guess,' said the congressman grimly."
LOOK WITHIN.
The Chinese in archery have one rule, which they call the "Rule of the Superior Man." It runs thus—"When the archer misses the center of the target he turns around and seeks for the cause of the failure in himself." There seems to be a hint in this "look within" scheme for others and not for archers alone.

Saturday August 15, 1914
The thoughtful Negroes of the
city are very much exercised over;
the statement published in the
daily papers of last week, in
which it was reported that the two:
higher grades in the three Ne-
gro public schools, the seventh
and eighth, would be transferred
tothe new Cuyler street school,
that ninety minutes would be tak-
en from the academic work and
applied on industrial features and
thatin order to accomplish this
some of the less important subjects.
would be eliminated. The Ne-
groes need rightly be exercised
over these contemplated changes, |
for if they are carried through,
‘they will greatly weaken the
school system and deny the Negro
childcen of the city that necessary
fundamental training which they
as all other children sorely need.
To force all eighth and seventh
grade Negro children to come to
the new Cuyler street school will
unquestionably work a hardship
on the greater number of them, as
the majority of them will be forced
to walk long distances twice a day
through all conditions of weather,
if they hope to do the work as-
signed them. Many of the child-
ren will have to come from sec-
tions of the city that are at least
two miles distant from the school
aad it takes but little thought to
see theirbefaggled condition, both
mentally and physically, after
walking this distance, many of
them being too poor even to pay
street car fare. Then, too, to
force these children to attend
school so far away from their
homes defeats the very idea that
the board of education is attempt-
ing to carry out—tohaveall child-
ren attend the school in the dis-
trict nearest them. Further, to
cut off ninety minutes from the
academic school work would
greatly lessen their chances of
even a grammar school course.
‘The course as_now taught in our
city schools affords the only edu-
cation that most of these children
get. As the course is now, only
the fundamental subjects are
taught in the grammar schools
and we cannot see that any of
these studies can be eliminated
without great loss to the pupils.
The changes contemplated will
greatly bandicap all the Negro
schools inthecity. It seems to,
us that some plan for carrying on
the industrial feature of the work
mignt have been devised so that
the academic work would not be
sacrificed and that all of the
schools remain asthey are now
until the board of education is able
to iatroduce the industrial feat-
unesinall the schools. We feel
that the Negroes of the city are
justly ayitated over this matter
and that the board of education
should be importuned not to make
the contemplated changes. A good
grammar school education should
be afforded every child in the
community, irrespective of color.
Up toa few gears ago, one of
the proud possessions of our peo-
ple was the grace and symmetry
which marked their indulgence in
the terpsichorean art. To those
who liked it, dancing was indeed
a fine art, the cultivation of which
brought both graceful lines to the
body and coneliness to the feat-
ures. Void of all frill suggestive
in the least, of the improper. it
was a pastime indulged in not only
by members of the younger’ set
but by their parents as well, ‘To-
day, what a great change hastaken
place! In this day of the so-called
modern dance, the graceful waltz,
two-step, lancers and the like of
our parents have almost been rel-
‘egated to the rear ahd in their
stead have come such suggestive
dances as the tango and its many
interpretations such as the St.
Louis. the bunny hug, the Balti-
more hop, and the like. To any
one who has any doubt as to the
impropriety of these so-called
dances and their evil effect upon
the youths who indulge in them, a
visit to sume of our dance halis
and picnic boats where these
dances are given their full inter-
pretation, will suffice. There is
no doubt ahout the fact that these
dances are altogether corrupting
in their influences. Interpreted
as they are, they fall little short
of arousing the most baneful pas-
sions of those whoengagein them.
And no onecan measure their con-
sequences. We believe that the
time is at hand when some effort
shou!d be put forth by those of us
who have the welfare of our grow-
ing youth at heart to put a-ban on
these wicked and yice producing
evolutions of our young people.
If dancing is to be continued
among us, it ought to be done so
as an innocent pastime and not as
acorrupting influence that savors
of the most evil consequences.
The Tribune has no hesitancy in
saying, away with these dances.
The hall authorities that knowing-
ly allow them, cannot escape the
{sonderanstion of allowing on their
premises a form of entertainment
that runs almost parallél with the
“free and easy” dives of our worst
sections. We appeal to them to-
gether with the preachers, teach-
ers and, other leaders of thought,
as well as the parents of our boys
and girls, to begin an immediate
crusade against such vulgar danc-
ing. Thevulgar dance will go if
the right pressure is brought to
bear upon it. We believe that
this can be done by individual ef-
fort.

(J. 8, Blocker, Correspondent.)
Saturday the ist of August,
was igiven over to the National
Teachers’ Association, whiclr vis-
ited our town during its annual
session at Savannah. The

the distinguished visitors to Har-
binson Institute Campus, where
welcome addresses were made by
Rey. D. W. Bythewood_on_he-
half of the citizens and Prof. H.
aA. Peterson on behalf of the
schools. Members 6f the as-
sociation responded. After the
addresses the entire party was
invited inside the building where
a delightful luncheon of fish
crabs, shrimps. salads, cream and
cake was served and enjoyed by
the visitors. The luncheon over,
the visitors scattered over, the
town and took in the various
places of interest. They left for
the return trip to Savannah at
5 o'clock sharp, highly pleased
with Beaufort and Beaufort’s
hospitality. The people of this
historic town enjoyed the com-
ing of such distinguished men
and women of our race and have
been very much beriefited by
their presence. It is regarded as
a distinct honor to Beaufort.

In Memoriam
In sad but loving remembrance of,
Mr. JOHN HENRY JONES.
Who departed this life August 13th, 1910.
Sleep on, dear brother, and take thy rest, we love thee well but Jesus love thee best, sleep on, dear one, sleep on. It is our lost but heaven's gain, though you left me in grief and pain, never to suffer again. When I go to your grave to shed a tear to ease my aching heart, it makes me feel that I hear your sweet gentle voice say, sister dry your tears and be of good cheer, all things are well. we both will understand it better by and by when we will talk the story over, it will be howdy and never good bye.
Sister,
Mrs. Annie Bruton.
What They Thought.
The carter brought a heavy load of coal to the doors of an English county lunatic asylum and, getting no answer to his ring, entered and strolled along the corridors. No one was about, and, seeing a door, he opened it and stepped inside. No one was there. Then the door closed, and he found himself in a padded cell. Presently some visitors entered and peered pityingly through an aperture in the door. "Please open the door," he pleaded. "I've brought a load of coal." "Ah," said one of the party. "that's his delusion. Some think they are the king or the mikado or Napoleon Bonaparte. This poor fellow thinks he's a coal porter. Come along." Then they went on and left him.
An Ancient Leg of Mutton.
There is a genuine antique leg of mutton to be seen in Bourne, in Lincolnshire. More than half a century ago a visitor called at a butcher's shop there and purchased a leg of mutton, saying he would take it away later. But the customer never returned, and year after year the joint has awaited him until, hanging from one of the rafters of the quaint old shop, it has become one of the fixtures and has passed with the business from one proprietor to another. During the more than fifty years of waiting for its purchaser the leg has withered away and is now shrunk to the semblance of a club of knotted wood.-London Tatler.

tory and later becoming president of
that university. In the life of these
educational institutions Mrs. Wilson's

life the president was dependent upon

ing after the comfort of ber busband,
she yet found time to do much mis-
sionary work amung the poor in Wasb-
ington, especially along the line of
better and more sanitary housing con-
ditions. Her last words were whis-
pered to Dr. Grayson. the White House
physician, “Doctor, if F go I want you
to promise me that you will take care

great powers, “bled white” and ex-
hausted, como together to arrange the
terms of peace. no man can foretell or
foresee what the conquerors will ex-
act. what penalties the conquered will
have to pay. It is certain that if, with
her allies, France should be victorious
sbe will demand the return of Alsace
and Lorraine. Beyond that, territorial
change can hardly be assumed. But

CZAR OF RUSs1a, GERMAN EMPEROL, EM
PEROR OF AUSTKLA-
what wil! be tbe political changes?
What If the Russia people, sick of war
and enormous tases, should demand
Mberty through the substitution for ab-
solutism of rea! represeutative govern-
ment? The people of Germany are as
intelligent as any in the world. They
know what liberty ts, although they
have seemed to be entirely content
with a military government that
makes them subject at all times to the
Instant calf to urms to tizht some foe
not their own why stands In the way
of palace policies. Germany is bard
beset. Her great navy und her splen-
did army may not save her from de!
feat. Would that make a difference
with the German people? Would they
then form the resolve to take the bust-
ness of governing themselves into thelr
own bands? Would they take their
place with the English, the French and
the people of the United States, or
wonld they fo on tolerating the impe
rial and the divine rigbt tdea? There
1s a strong probability that the Austro-
‘Hungariai empire, under defeat, would
‘fall to pieces. and the Hapsburg dy-
nasty might come to its end in the
rain.
| It is all a cather daring speculation,
‘but the assnmption 1s sonnd and cer-
tain—that Europe will not see firm, as-
Jsured and lasting peace until the out
sworn dynastic system shall give place
to government of, by and for the peo-
ple. whose treaties will be not fur the
[propping ot thrones but for the derel-
opment of Industry and commerce.
‘That chanze, if {t comes, will be one
of the compensations of the war.

NEW CHECKED Coat.
The coat iNustrated here is a hand-
some aflair uf green and white check
with one of the new turned over col-
lars of velvet. There are epaulettes
of velvet combined with faney but-
tons on the shoulders, The raglan
sleeve is finished with deep turned
back cuffs. The coat is suittble for
general wear in the fall or makes a
convenient wrap for the motorist or
traveler. a
ADJUSTING WAISTS.
Tape Stretched Across the Back Is
Convenient.
Since separate blouses area necessity
with tailored suits bere is x good point
to remember Instead of sewing the
tape at the wuist ne down on the
waist all around leave pe fronts loose
and stitch the tape cily across the
back: This will give ends that can be
brought around™ani ted in front.
You can regulate the fullness much
more easily by this method and so pre-
vent bulging in an unsightly manner.
Before sewing the tape to the waist be
sure you get tt adjusted properly at
the waist Hine; otherwise it will be
very uncomfortable.
Another good method of keeping
skirts and waists together 1s to fasten
a broad stay plece acro&s the back of
the waist or blouse. To this fasten
large otdinary eyes and sew to the in-
side of the skirt band heavy tlat hooks
to correspond. Round eyes buttenholed
in twist may be used on sitk and sheer
waists. :

BRILLIANT COLORS.
French Dressmakers Favor Them For
Their Most Elegant Creations.
‘The covturiers of Paris are featuring
odd combinations of materials in their
latest creations. Silk, linen and pique
will be effectively allied in one model,
while another is fashioned of voile,
silk and batiste.
Blouses have jumper effects of one
material worn o¥er guimpes of another,
while the skirts are formed of long
Dutch tunics and underskirts of con-
trasting weaves.
Brillfant colors are combined with
ecru, white, dark blue or gray. The
designs selected are bold and striped
fabrics are general favorites, and many
of the long’tunies are evolved from
these striking materials.
Closely Woven Crape.
The popular cotton crape is a very
fine, close weaving, resembling its more
expensive sister, crepe de chine, and
the ratine—or sponge cloth—Iis also
finer and closer than that worn last
year. Both come in a large range of
colors; of which at the moment pink
is estremely fashionable, ranging’ from
the palest blush to the deepest rose
tints, also light or dark pekin blue,
maure, mastic and dove gray.
Comfortable Corsets.
A medical man has said that nothing
more sane than the new corsets has
come into fashion’s realm for}a long
time. ‘The waist line of these corsets
is large and the bust low. They are of
stch shape that full, deep breathing fs

Motoring Hats.
‘The perfect motoring hat is made of

A Famous Paris Street.
That wonderful street of shops in
Paris known as the Rue de Rivoli was
begun in 1802 and was named in hon-
or of Napoleon’s victory at Rivoli in
1797 during the Italian campaign. It
was not finished, however, until 2865.
during the relgn of Napoleon IIL, to
whom Paris {s indebted for much of
{ts grandeur.
Luna and the Tides.
There is little room for doubt about
the theory that the tides are due to
the moon's action upon the surface of
the water. Of course there are other
influences—the sup, for instance, ex-
ercising no mean force upon tlg tides
—but the chief influence is attributa-
ble to the moon. ‘To be sure, there is
hardly any theors that 1s not object-
ed to by somebody. but the theory
that tidal action is due mainly to the
pull of Luna iay be accepted “with.
out 1 reasonable doubt.”—New York
American.
. Golden Horséshoes.
Roman writers inform us that Com-
modus caused the hoofs of his horse to
be gilded. Nero when he undertook
short journeys was always drawn by
mules that had stlyer shoes, and those
of his -wife, Poppaea, had shoes of
gold. From a passage in “Dio Cassius”
there is reason to think that the upper
part only was formed of those noble
metals or that they were perhaps plat-
ed out of thin slips. When Boniface,
marquis of Tuscany, one of the richest
princes of bis time, went to Beatrix,
about the year 1033, bis whole train
was so magnificently decorated that
his horses ‘were shod with silver. The
nails were even of the same metal.

ANH the Bank's Fault.
Mrs. Barrows was worried. That
fact was evident to her husband, al-
though she endeavored to maintain a
cheerful manner. Before the evening
meal was over, however, he discovered
the cause of her ansiety.
“Will,” said she, “lt am very much
afraid that my bank fs in a bad way.”
“How foolish, Mabel! Don’t let that
cause you a moment's worry. Why.
it's one of the strongest financial in-
etitutions in the state. Whatever got
that idea into your head?"
“Well, it's very strange,” replied Mrs.
Barrows, still unconvinced. ‘They've

PRAISE AND CENSURE.
Do not rely upon praise in push-
ing your life work, and do not per-
mit censure to discourage you if
you know you are right.
Praise is of no use as a main-
spring. Power lies outside of ‘it,
and entirely independent of it, in
all truly valuable lives. Tennyson,
the poet, was also the practical
man when he remarked, “I think
it is wisest in a man to do his
work in the world as quietly and
as well as he can’ without heeding
prsise-or dipeatie.”
‘Troublesome Teeth.
The Young One—Do your teeth ever
give you trouble? The Old One—Oh,
yes. I mislay ’em sometimes.
Barber a Man of Strength.
“I suppose that most people.” said
a barber, “would consider plying the
shears and razor as comparatively easy
work; they would not expect to find
barbers men of muscle.
“The fact is that standing all day
and even in the easier parts of his
work using his arms all day in various
positions the barber keeps his muscles
in constant exercise, while in such op-
erations as shampooing and massage
he is called upon for the exertion of
downright strength. * :
“He may not have the muscle of a
man always in strict training, but |
think you would find that, as a rule,
the barber is no weakling.”—New
York Sun.
RELIABILITY.
Try to be reliable. Reliability
is far more important than genius,
sotar as the comfort of the people
| with whom you live is concemed.
Appeal of the Hymn,
‘What constitutes the appeal of the
popular hymn? “Pilgrims of the Night.”
by Father Faber, has been as popular
as any hymn of the past century. and
ore has to confess to a lump in the
throat when it is song. Nor is it mere-
ly on the sentimentally inclined that
the hymn has effect. Froude records
overhearing itin Hyde park one Sunday
evening, when Carlyle, with deep emo-
tion, bade him come away, as he could
never hear those words without desir-
ing to weep. Yet I bave still to meet
the person who can give a clear in-
terpretation.of what fs meant by Fa-
ber’s appealing lines—London Chroni-
de
How 2 Mocee Eats.
Of all peculiar sights 1 think that
that of a moose eating grass is the
most extraordinary. The neck is so
short and the legs are so long that the
animal usuaty kneels in eating grass.
True, it does not attempt it very of-
ten, for-grass is by no means a staple
with it, but even a moose likes a
change of diet. The sppearance of
this buge and awkward creature in
this devotional attitude is not only in-
teresting, but really laughable.—St
Nicholas.
Negro Business Lengue’s Weekly
Letter—by J. C. Lindsay
The writer of this letter does
not mean to préach a doctrine of
business segregation, for well
does he know that the few short
years of business experience and
opportunity which we have had
as Negroes, would make this’ im-
possible, and aside from ‘this, a
doctrine of this kind would not
fare so well in the presence of the
“almighty dollar.” But let us all
join the local branch of the Negro
Business League just for a few
moments that we might have a
heart to heart talk concerning
our business opportunities and
what we are doing about them,
A very brilliant writer in a recent
article said, that the Negro in-
surance companies of this city
paid out $1,766.70 on the first
week in July, to one hundred and
forty-eight Negro men and wo-
men, as salary for one wecek’s
work, Now ‘wait, don’t give
three cheers yet, because right
here I am going to say that the
aggregated amount covilected hy
the companies on this particular
week would only amount to some-
thing ‘like $3000.00, and that if
a certain number of us would
co-orperation and bend our every
effort toward the success of what
kind of busines that we may
choose to enter, as the insurance
men are doing, the time is not far
off before these one hundred and
forty-eight -employees with a
boasted payroll of $1,766.70 per
week will only be a thing of his-
tory, hastily giving away too
much large volumes of business,
if in conjunction with the afore
said admonition we would only
adhere to two of the principles of
the Negro Business League
namely co-orperation and patro-
nage, because around these prin-
ciples revolve the delicate fabric
of business as the earth and the
other planets revolve around the
sun.
The lack of ability has at last
become an ancient and time-worn
argument and has long since lost
its flavor. The proof of this as-
sertion can be éasily found. If
one would begin at the Union
Station walking south on West
Broad street, after passing that
handsome $40,000. building of the
Wage Earners Loan and Invest-
ment Company to a distance of
several blocks, carefully inspect-
ing the many and various kinds
of first class buildings and busi-
nesses, owned ‘and conducted by
our people, no further proof
would be needed.
Now about that heart-to-heart
talk I mentioned in the begin-
ning of this article may be best
concluded by giving you the
statement of an insurance mana-
ger made a few days ago. He
said: “It became rumored that I)
needed a clerk, I was surprised to
see the host of yeung women,
some of them of-very tender ages,
who came to see me, all filing)
their applications for this position |
My sympathy was aroused be-
cause they were young women of
intelligence and refinement, but
being unable to employ more!
than one clerk their applications
were denied. A picture of these’
young women follow me still,
and I am asking this qusetion;
who is weponsible for the employ
ment of our young women?”
‘Right here, dear friends, the
writer wishes to say that the
question seems to be a rather
broad one and he is going to
leave it open for public discus-
sion.
These are some of the prob-
lems we hope to solve by support-
ing the Negro Business League
with our membership, presence
and thoughts. Meetings first
Wednesday and third Friday even
ings of each month at 457 West
Broad street. Joining fee $r.co
