VOLUME XXX
ATLANTA MUTUAL AGENTS ENTERTAIN GENERAL MANAGER
T. K. GIBSON OF ATLANTA GUEST AT DELIGHTFUL BANQUET
About Sixty Present
Excellent Paper on Insurance Read by the Congenial Manager at Reception Prior to Banquet—Local Manager Singfield of Pilgrim Acted As Master of Ceremonies.
Among the most enjoyable and brilliant gatherings of business men assembled here in some time was that which acted as host to T. K. Gibson of Atlanta, general manager and secretary of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance association, Thursday night at a banquet held at the Georgia Dining parlor, West Broad and Gwinnett lane. The affair was given by the agents of the two local offices of the company and was attended by the combined office and field forces and about a dozen invited guests.
Prior to the banquet a reception was held at the headquarters of the Negro Business League at which time Mr. Gibson read a most helpful and instructive paper on industrial insurance. The logic, clean-cut, ideas and forceful argument which the paper contained sank deep into the minds of the insurance men present and also the invited guests. Mr. Gibson emphasized the importance of the men on the field being well acquainted with every detail of the policy they were endeavoring to place. He stressed in no uncertain terms the necessity of being square with the public, of being reliable, honest and business like in all of their dealings. His talk though directed chiefly along insurance lines, emphasized many general principles, which, if adhered to, will prove helpful to business enterprises in general.
There were several excellent talks made by a few of the invited guests who were at the reception, and in all of them the high standard and marked efficiency in the management of the Atlanta Mutual were forcibly brought out.
The banquet was attended by about sixty persons in all, and the five course supper was a continuous round of jollity and pleasure. Mr. A. B. Singfield, local manager of the Pilgrim Insurance company and president of the Negro Business League, was toast master. The speaking at the banquet table was indeed inspiring, especially the experiences which were told by several of the agents and Mr. Gibson's account of the rise of Mr. Herndon, president of the company. The banquet ended about mid-night with a response to Mr. Gibson's remarks by J. C. Lindsay who, with L. L. James, heads the two local filoseceoth heads the two local offices of the company.
It will be remembered that the Atlanta Mutual, since taking over the business of the Union Mutual Association several months ago, is now perhaps the largest Negro industrial insurance company in the world. It operates in two states, Georgia and Alabama, and is one of the strongest Negro insurance companies in existence.
Mr. Gibson who is on a tour of inspection of the company's many offices, is a native of Macon and a graduate of Atlanta University and Harvard University. Mr. Gibson left the city yesterday morning for Brunswick.

Thousands Pay Last Respects to the Great Divine
Atlanta, Ga.—The funeral of Bishop Henry McNell Turner, senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church, was held at Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, this city, on last Wednesday.
The attendance and procession were among the largest ever seen in Atlanta. The spacious auditorium of Big Bethel Church could hold only a small part of the immense throng present which completely filled Auburn avenue, Butler street and all of the adjoining spaces. The crowd outside was orderly, however, and traffic was not seriously interfered with at the corner.
The following program was conducted by Bishop J. S. Flipper who acted as master of ceremonies:
The processional was softly played during which Bishop B. F. Lee, now the senior bishop, led the procession of Bishops and General Officers while reciting the burial ceremonies for the church services.

Almost every episcopal district connected had one or more representatives. The representatives from the Gorgia conference were Revs. R. H. Singleton, and J. T. Thomas, ministers, and Messrrs E. Seabrook and A. G. Holbrook, of Savannah, laymen.
Bishop Turner was born in Abbeville S. C., February 1, 1831, and died at Windsor, Ont., Can., at 12:45 Saturday May 8, 1915, in the S5th year of his age. He was found unconscious in the streets of Windsor at an early hour on Saturday morning by a policeman and taken to the A. M. E. Church parsonage. All that medical skill could do was done, but he never regained consciousness and passed away at the hour named, thus obtaining his oft-expressed desire not to die on the soil of the United States.
His body lay instate from May 11 to 18th at the Episcopal residence on Young street and, for 24 hours, May 18th and 19th at Big Bethel Church, during which time 22,600 persons white and colored took the last look at the face of the fallen divine. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. L. L. Turner; two sons, DavidP. and John M. Turner; a number of grand and great grand children and a sorrowing church and race to mourn his loss; but he fell as he lived. He died at his post.
Bishop Turner received 160,000 members in the church and was known as the Missionary Bishop. He was 35 years a bishop and 30 years the senior. He assisted in the organization of the church in Georgia and organized the church in West, and South Africa. Resolution on the Death of Bishop

ST. ANTHANASIUS' SCHOOL ENDS
PROSPEROUS YEAR
Brunswick, Ga.-St. Athanasius School ended a prosperous year on Friday, May 14th. The closing exercises, pronounced by all to be in advance of those of previous years, showed marked improvement in all departments of the school. Special mention has been made frequently of the excellent work done in the music, physical training and industrial departments. The Brunswick News published the following concerning the industrial exhibition:
"Notable among the closing events was the visit of the Rev. J. L. Taylor, rector of St. Stephen's Church, Savannah, Ga., to preach the annual sermon of the school, May 9th. During his short stay, the Rev. Mr. Taylor endeared himself to the people of Brunswick. He preached both at the morning and the evening services of St. Athanaslus' Church, and, in the afternoon, he spoke at the annual service of the Odd Fellows, winning the hearty approbation of all his hearers. Rev. Taylor evinced his ever-readiness to render to God personal service when he stopped on his way to the last mentioned meeting, to offer, voluntarily, prayer and comfort to a distressed family.
Mr. Taylor speaks of highest terms of St. Athanasius' school, making special mention of the cooking department which prepared and served, as final examinations, all the meals, during his visit, for the family of the principal, his host.

WEST BROAD STREET SCHOOL ENTERTAINS TRACK TEAM
Following its custom for the past four years, the teachers of the West broad street school entertained their track team last Tuesday afternoon at the conclusion of school hours. Aside from the boys and girls of the track team the girls in each grade of the school who sold the largest number of tickets in the ticket selling contest for the recent school children's races were present at this delightful affair. The afternoon was one of real enjoyment for the youthful athletes who wromped away with second honor in the recent races. The teachers shared in the pleasures of the occasion and congratulated the boys and girls for the excellent showing the wearers of the yellow have made during the four years the races have been run. Ike Smith, captain of the team, lionized by both teachers and pupils. The occasion of jollification ended with a pleasing repast.
ATLANTA UNIVERSITY ITEMS
The annual concert given by the instrumental department under Miss Anna Mary Simmons and by the vocal department under Prof. Sidney Woodward was one of the best given at Atlanta University in recent years. Selections from the compositions of Chopin, Wagner, Liszt, Sgambatt, Littolff, Meszkewski and Lhervinne were rendered in a very artistic manner by the advanced pupils of the instrumental department. The Toreado song from Bizet's Carmen was given in a pleasing rendition by Mr. Joseph Corvington as an interlude between the piano numbers. But the great success of the evening was the singing of the greatest work of the greatest Negro composer, "Hlawatha's Wedding Feast" by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. It was given by the Atlanta University chorus under the direction of Sidney Woodward, with Miss Simmons and Miss Jessie Murphy at the plano and Mr. Walter Smith at the organ. The chorus responded nobly to the leader and sang with great success the wonderful score. The chorus and the director added new lurels to their record by the splendid performance. It is hoped that the rendition of "Hlawatha" may become an annual event, as such great music by a great composer deserves frequent repletion. The solo "Onward, Awake Resolve" was finely sung by Sidney Woodward, the director. It was one of the finest concerts ever given in Atlanta.
The complete program for the commencement is as follows:
Thursday, May 20—9:00 to 11 a. m., Public day at Oglethorpe school.

GRANT—PINCKNEY
A most charming and tasteful affair was the brilliant wedding of Miss Emily Grant and Mr. Palmer Plinkney of Charlotte, N. C., at the residence of the bride's parents, 625 W. 36 street, Tuesday morning, May 18th. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. M. M. Weston, rector of St. Augustine Episcopal Church, and was very impressive. The house decorations were very appropriate. The bride was beautifully gowned. Her dress was a white volle intermingled with net and white satin. She wore her mother's wedding wreath of orange blossoms and her vell was of white tulle. She carried a shower, bouquet of bridal roses and ferns. Her sister, Miss Willie M. Grant, was maid of honor. She was gowned in a hand embroidered volle over pink satin. She carried a bouquet of pink carnations. A Gorgeous reception followed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. after which the bridal party was rousingly escorted to the steamship pier by a host of their friends and well wishers, where they took passage for New York, their future house.
Coatees a New Feature in Lingerie Dresses
Net and Batiste in Filmy Frocks Beeneath Silk, Lace and Embroidered Jackets, Cut in Zouave and Bolero Fashion
BLACK AND WHITE EFECTS AGAIN TO THE FORE
New York, May 15—Nowhere is the American idea of directness more strongly felt than in clothes. Paris offers a wealth of ideas and America selects one. After weeks of hesitation, while the popularity of one style or another in the priceless collection received after a perilous trip across the Atlantic, quakes in the balance, the American public, at last, places emphasis on one chosen feature and the coatee dress becomes universal; not a tailored creation as the name implies but a sheer confection of lace, net or batiste, topped with a gray silk or lingerie jacket.
So cavallier have fashions become, they carried us back to the Cromwellian era. Like spirits of the old French empire society in lingerie dresses trips across the velvet lawns or loiters in old rose gardens. The other day, I chanced upon a party enjoying tea in the far corner of a green lawn under the shade of a mulberry tree; the black wicker furniture, upholstered in broad stripes, strewn with apple blossoms, was as striking in effect as the frocks the girls wore.

One of the New Lingerie Frocks Made With a Dark Blue Silk Coatee
A vivacious dark-eyed Miss, who served tea at the glass-topped table, carried off well the style of the smart coatce in a frock that bespoke the couturier Jenny. The bodice of allover embroidery, nipped in at the waist as fashion approves, showed from beneath the jaunty jacket of dark blue taffeta silk. The Quakerish collar and cuffs of white organdy made a connecting link with the billowing folds, paneled with embroidery and trimmed with Valenciennes lace, which formed the skirt.
That she was a devotee to the fad of fancy shoes, one could easily guess for her pumps were the last word in style; the heel, back and vamp was of patent leather and the uppers of white kid to match the white silk stockings. Beside the low chair, a garden hat carelessly dropped, glistened in the sun, for it was one of the new dark blue shiny straws. The crown was circled with tulle with pond lilies beneath and, like all other broad brimmed garden hats, it had black velvet streamers attached to the back; these sprawled on the grass as if they were tired of their voyage through the wind.
The guest of honor, an artest of fame who is making the best of war-enforced exile, was a credit to the maker of the cloth she wore; what could be smarter for a woman passed thirty than a symphony in black and white? Again the coatee was the chief detail of the costume; this time it was a short Zonave jacket of exquisite batiste, heavily embroidered. It opened as she lounged in her chair, showing a waist of plain batiste. Flouncing repeated in the sleeve and skirt yoke, and a lower skirt of plain batiste, cut circular that it might flare the more needed only the black and white, blazer striped, girdle to bring out its style, so perfectly was every detail worked out.
The skirt cleared the ground by about four inches; mature women have all adopted this length as more becoming than the extremely short skirt. Below the skirt a trim white buckskin tie laced in black could be seen. Her whiteMilan straw, medium in size, with
brim flaring just enough to soften her face, sported a jbow of the blazer striped silk and her slender-handled parasol, resting open on the back of her chair completed the picture of an up-to-date woman well-dressed.
No diverse are the effects gained with these jackets, it is hard to believe so many frocks have the same feature. Here, is a coatee of robin's egg blue taffeta, fitted through the body, having flaring tails, and "leg o' mutton" sleeves set in with narrow frills revived from Victorian styles. This is worn with the voluminous skirt of net. There is a frock of cotton crepe, embroidered and hem-stitched in pink with coatee of pink linen; while a model of voile and filet lace has a jacket of black faille cut on the bolero order. Indeed, there is no end to the materials. Dolly Varden taffetas, deep old-world pink and brilliant blue taffetas, failles and moirs silks make quaint coatees for crinoline frocks and not a few of the bolero effects are fashioned of lace material. lately launched on the market, for dresses of this type, the texture like a fine voile embroidered with garlands in pastel shades.
Aside from the fabrics, accessories are so attractive, they in no small measure account for the success of the lingerie dress, for there is many a maiden who buys a frock that she may have the girdle that goes with it. Although, it is an acknowledged fact, waists are gradually growing smaller, the girdle still follows straight lines. Loose crush girdles of taffeta, molre silk or primly-flowered belts of narrow grosgrain are pretty finishes for filmy frocks.
The handkerchief bag in another fancy, demure as the daguerreotype from which it is taken. Usually, the the bag is made of material the same as the dress, cut in a half-circle, shirrer an inch down from the top and hung from the belt with cords or ribbon. The hand-bag, too, takes on a new beauty. Soft gathered models of flowered and striped silk, have silver tops, that stretch like a bracelet; white leather bags, flat purses and bold kid skin cases are lined with gorgeous flowered and striped silks. Madam La Mode, not content with these features alone insists that milady be up to the ears in style this season and introduces the feather and tulle boas to wear with the new lingerie dresses.

The Popular Black and White Effect Carried out in a Batiste Costume
The Popular Black and White Effect Carried out in a Batiste Costume
Hats, too, conform to the new lines in dress. Large French sailors, tilted on one side, daily grow in favor; satin and chiffon facings are being used on the top of the brim and sides of the crown. One smart black sailor has the crown covered with silk beaver and a single flower embroidered on net appliqued on to one side. A smoothly polished lisere straw of "nigger-brown" has large·detached roses, and another Marguerites and velvet streamers tacked in the back, while white Milan sailors show ropes of white heads around the crown with a single beaded flower directly in front. For those who do not like the sailors with light dresses, there are dainty creations with pleated tulle brims and all-lace hats trimmed with roses, lilacs and the like.
It would seem the whole manufacturing world has been buisy, of late, digging up styles for the past century. That the glove maker has succeeded is evident in the lace mitts he now offerers for sale, along with white and colored kid gloves embroidered in chain stitch. As yet, parasols hold to the large size in the immediate present the flat many-ribbed Japanese parasols of printed crepe, silk and paper being popular. Net parasols are also shown

over batiste foundations, embroidered in chain stitch and finished at the edge with a shirring or band of ribbon. Not a detail in the whole costume, has Dame Fashion slighted. Stockings are in every hue of the rainbow, embroidered with insets of lace and smart black and white effect, the prettiest white silk with butterflies embroidered in black and outline and clocks, at the side of black flowers. So extreme have the stockings become, that some well-dressed women are going back to pure black, especially with the white dresses, as they claim the contrast is more striking.
The white buckskin or black patent leather and white kid tie or pump is favored with the lingerie dress, although such combinations as white buckskin and pale blue or pink uppers are shown in fancy models. One pump in particular has the pale blue upper and an American shield in pastel shades placed in front where the buckle belongs.
A charming affair was the modest characterization of the brilliant concert-Dans-ante given Monday evening of last week at the parlors of the Savannah Grill Club on West Broad street. The early evening was spent by the guests in inspecting the many new features and improved appointments which the progressive promoters have added to this interesting institution to make it the more attractive and satisfactory to the up-to-date clientele to which it caters. Every modern convenience of beauty, charm and comfort which the thoughtful and ingenious mind could contrive has been added to the already excellent arrangement. Electric fans, compartmental drawing rooms for ladies and gentlemen are among the new features. By the time the concert hour had arrived, the assembly hall on the second floor had filled to a capacity crowd. Splendid local talent, including Misses Stewart, Clark, Fisher and Jones, together with Miss Grant, violinist of Boston, Mass., and Mr. Jas. Johnson of Washington, D. C., provided a charming little concert. Prof. J. G. Lemon, in happy and humorous veins, was master of ceremonies, and kept the audience convulsed between numbers, by his witty references to the various numbers and to the performers. He congratulated the promoters of the club upon the enterprise of their contribution to the city's clean and whole-one amusement provisions and the audience upon its good fortune in having such a worthy enterprise to which it might point with pride. A charming company of the younger and older sets was out, and from the time the master of ceremonies announced that the program was over "on with the dance", the more than a hundred guests tripped the light fantastique toe 'till the 'wee sum' hours. The faries, the mythical goddesses of music, mirth and fiery-making were all there mingling in wholsome revelry. All the while a generous orchestra dis-counsed those airs that make one's underpinning restive and shaky. If you had been there, you may have thought, as I did, that there was recess in Elysia. A bountiful supply of choice refreshments was always on hand, and service was excellent. This is the first of a series of such affairs which the club means to stage during the season.

* Ing upon the athletig¢ relationship o:
the two leading universities in the
country ‘is indeed interesting. It i
truly not only unsportsmanlike that a
school, becanse of its infraction of
the rules governing an athletic meet
in which it is participating, should
claim ‘that those managing the affairs
of the meet were unfair or partial
simply because they enforced strict
adherence to the rules but it is also
damaging to the pupils in whose
minds the teachers, in upholding and
encouraging a disrespect for author-
ity, are inculeating the first principles
of sedition and an utter disregard for
fairness. ‘The men who acted as
judges and the manzgers of the races
were in no way connected with any
of the schools, but selected the win-
ners on a perfectly fair basis. ‘The
cry of “cheat” and “unfpir” is raised
only by those who are not gent!
sportsmen and know little of athletic
contests. The prime object of the
children’s races fs to teach unselfish-
ness, fair play and the proper de
velopment of their physical and moral
nature. Another object of the pro-
moters of these races is to afford a
pleasant outing for the Negro child-
ren and citizens at large and it is ab-
solutely wrong to deprive fundreds of
children of their rightful pleasure
merely to guin 2 questionable point.
It would be well if some of the dis-
gruntled leaders would profit by the
true spirit of sport displayed by Yale
in her recent contest with Harvard
when she so emphatically said that she
Would rather Tose than- gain on a
questionable point:
New Haven, Conn, May 16—After|
A conference today Yale athletic au-
thoritics decided to cancel the five
points won by W. F. Roos in the Yale
Harvard dual track mect Saturday.
Thus the twenty-fourth annual meet
between the’ two institutiuns goes to
TNarvard by 2 scére of 53 points to 51.
Roos won first place in the shot put
Saturday, but his eligibility was pro-
tested by Fred Moore, graduate ad-
viver of athletics of Harvard, on the
fSTound that Roos had competed three
years in athletics. Roos was entered
and competed under protest.
Prof. Robert N. Crowin, chairman of
the Yale athletic association, did not
reached New Haven until after yester-
day’s meet. Then he conferred witn
Mr. Moore. Rather than let the ma-
ter go to an arbitration committee on
a tecnicality, Yale authorities decided
to-day to cancel Roos points and de-
clare Harvard the winner. ° *
The following statement was issued
to-night:
“It had been the understanding of
the Yale University Track Athletic As-
sociation that questions of eligibility
as between Harvard and Yale in their
dual track games were to be decided
under the deed of gift covering the
competition of the cup. As this.was
construed by the management of the
Yale track team, Roos was considered |
eligible to compete in this year’s meet |
and therefore was entered.
“It appears, however’ tliat Harvard's,
understading is that provisions of deed
of gift respecting Migibility had been
suspended by other eligibility rules
under which Roos would have been
Ineligible. Yale has vo desire to be,
declared the winner of the meet on
Saturday and thereby secure perman-|
ent possession of the cup through any
mere technicality, and thereby cancels
the points won by Roos in that meet.
“In view of the misunderstanding
that has arisen, Yale* offers the sug-
gestion that a conference be held at}
any early date to determine all rules
and conditions for future competitions.

‘Thru the kindness of The Savannah

tainly “the most helpful, the local
branch of the National Negro Busiiess
League kept the things worth while
and the men who do them in this com-

hope that the members of the race ih
this community engaged in business

Must Meet Competition
_ Our men engaged in business, like

to look an honest competitor straight
in the eyes and give him to understand
that we are out looking for his kind
and certainly expect to meet him some-
whese down the line. There are
many valuable lessons which would
greatly assist us in solving our busi.
ness problems, if we would allow our
selves to Jearn them. The errors cont:

and mistakes which have caused many
of our business men to give up in dis

Propeller or guide to the successful
twentieth century business Negro whe

Progress the Slogan
In the city of Sagannah and in this
community of which Savannah is the
center, the Negro element is as pro
gressive as will be found in any othe1
jcommunity with the same number ot
Negroes to draw on for support. In
this comunity the Négro business ele
ment is proud of their business pro
| gress, which has evoked favorable
comment from business med of both
Faces, not only in Savannab, but ;from
other cities and communittes as well.
Enterprises Owned .by Nezroes
Below’ will be wiven ‘a few of the
many enterprises owned and conduct
ex by Negro brain and money: two
‘Negro banks, one of which {the Wage
‘Earners) owns” the finest’ banking
‘House and fixtures of any Negro bank
in the country; one Nezro newspaper,
up-to-date linotype and machinery and
giving employment to fourteen young
men and young women who work in
the job printing and book-binding de-
partment besides the three editors and
the printer's “devil” who give their
time, in the main, in seeing to it that
the Negroes in this immediate com-
munity receive into their homes once
a week the cleanest and certainly tive
fairest Negro journal (secular) prt-
lished in this state. ‘
Savannah is known far and near
as havhfg the best equipped Negro
undertakers in th South. Three of
{one amen are engaged in this Hne of
business and all of them, own th-it

Insurance Companies ~~
The six Negro insurance companies
in ihis city which give employment
le one hundred and fifty three mem-
‘bers of the-race at a weekly wage of
something Ike sixteen hundred dol-

Negro Play Houses |
The Pekin theatre, which is owned
by a Negro business woman and her
son, is unquestionably the finest play
house owned by Negroes in this coun-
try. These people also control the Air
Dome, which is only one block away
from fhe Pekin, where the shows con-

Negro Drug Store
The Savannah Pharmacy, which is
owned by the Lee Chemical Company,
is a medicine emporium which is
strictly up-to-date and first class in
every particular. One of the boasts
of this splendid Negro drug storg is
that nearly every one of the sixteen

HUMANE SUNDAY TALK AT ST.
STEPHEN'S
| It is well that one Sunday in the
year be devoted to’ special considert-
tion of the treatment of dumb animals.
We find in the book of Jonah 4:11 God's
consideration for animals, “much cat-
tle”, seems to be a,plea with God for
the preservation of the city of Nin-
eveb. Therefore we should be kind
and .meréifol to all of God's helpless
creatures. We-must rémémber that
God made them. He preserves them,

them of varied serviceableness ‘teapan
and has given man’ “authority orer

‘and the beast of the flea. “Goa’ re

Watching them constantly.and minute-
ly in their pleasures and pains and
not pne falleth to the ground without
his notice. God would have you and
me ‘to help to preserve them from
cruelty and needless destruction, Ex.
9, 19.
“He prayeth well who loveth well,
Both man, bird and beast. .
‘He prayeth well who loveth well
an things both great and small,
For the deat Lord who loveth us ,
He made and loveth all.” ¥
It is impossible to observe so many
skilful and beautiful arrangements as
are combined in the structure of ant-
mals, without admiring the wisdom
and skill of the loving creator. God
has not only said, “Whosoever giveth
a cup of cold water in my name shall
be rewarded,” but He his said, “not
a sparrow falls to the ground with-
out my notice”? When a boy robs a
bird's nest and when we overburden
our horses aud kill fowl needlessly
for our tables God sees us. The pro-
phet, looking into the future, saw the
wild animals and man all together
and a little child Jeading them. Let
us Ue thoughtful and attentive to the
comfort of the dumb creatures who
ean. only look on us and depend en-
tirely upon us. Let us be merciful
as our Father in heaven is merciful.

BEACH INST. NOT TO BE CLOSED
Editor of Savannah Tribune: »
oy wish, through your papyr, to cor-
reet the wide spreayl rumor that Beach
Institute 1s to be closéd. The rumor,
no doubt, is based on the illadvised
statement of someone who is not fa-
miliar with the work of the school and
has no foundation on fact. The
a M. A, will be stow to
close a school of the standing of Beach,
the need of which fs so Bvident. But
this is a matter that has never come
up for, consideration and the friends
of the school may feel assured that the
school will contibue.
It is the aim of the association to
mike Beach and similar schools in
other cities strictly high schools with
preparatory courses for collegiate work
in higher institutions. Three years
ago the twelfth grade was added and
two years ago new courses for all
grades were adopted. These were
carefully adapted to conditions pecu-
Mar to the South. ‘In keeping with
this purpose the lower grades are be-
ing gradually eliminated. Grades one
to four are no longer continued. This
accounts for the small enrollment at
Beach now as compared with that of
the earller years of the school, when
there was no fixed standard of work
and fewer or no‘ public schools. The
number of scholars in each of thd
upper grades is up to the average,
in spite of the fact that the standard
of scholarship is higher.
| The work ‘at Beach fs on a higher
plane ‘than ever gefore. This in not
dye primarily to its present admints-
tration but to the fact that it is the
policy of the American Missionary As-
sociation to bring its schools up to a
high point of efficiency.
Very truly yours,

Every farmer should keep a record of his operating costs and the financial results of everything done on the farm. A farmer who does this is not going to lose anything, but is surely on the road to success. At first it will seem impossible to keep a record of labor, financial accounts and crop yields, but it will be surprising how the habit will become established. A very interesting and profitable record to work on at present is a harvest record of the different grain crops. Such a record will show the farmer how much his crops yielded and the cost to thrash the grain. When the value of such records is realized the farm will then be run on a more strictly business basis.—Orange Judd Farmer.

RADIUM·AS FERTILIZER.
An Experimenter Asserts That It Will Increase Yield of Land.
Radium as a fertilizer is a new idea in farming. It is asserted that it will increase the yield of land from 50 to 100 per cent.
So says Dr. H. H. Rusby of the New York College, of Pharmacy. He has been experimenting with radium solutions on a tiny farm at Nutley, N. J., for the last two years. Recently he presented his results to the American Pharmaceutical association.
Dr. Rusby diluted his radium three milligrams to a ton of water. This, he says, will fertilize thoroughly twenty acres of land at an approximate cost of $30. The farm was only an acre and one-half in extent, but in small patches he raised practically all the vegetables used by northern farmers.
Fifty pounds of his solution to the acre gave the best results in the greatest number of cases. Some vegetables required more.
On the whole, however, Dr. Rusby found his experiments particularly encouraging. Cucumbers, squashes, melons, radishes, carrots, corn, cabbage and a host of others responded most satisfactorily to the treatment and gave results far above their normal output.
The use of radium as a fertilizer, Dr. Rusby avers, did not originate with him. When it was found that weak solutions of radium salts applied to cancer only stimulated its growth scientists began to experiment with it upon plants. In the beginning all of the solutions which they used were far too strong. The New York botanical gardens and the University of Prague were the first to make successful experiments.
Movable Tool Box.
You might describe this device as a tool box on wheels or the wheel barrow work bench. It is one of the handiest things of its kind that can be made. Suppose a man wants to do a little work in a shed a quarter of a mile from the house? He can make this combination box and bench and take all the tools needed right along with it.
It is really a sort of a portable repair shop. You can keep all manner of tools, nails, clips, bolts and nuts in it. There is room for wire clippers, wire and anything else that may be needed. And it is likely to save you a lot of trouble when the job is done. We all know how easily tools are mislaid and even lost for good. Materials needed for its construction are: A pair of old cultivator wheels, a few boards, a couple of hinges and enough bolts to fasten things together.—Farm Progress.
FARM WIT AND WISDOM.
No farmer ever gets too old to learn, but the wise farmer doesn't wait until he is old to learn.
All things come to him who owns a piece of land and pitches in and works to beat the band.
Don't try to lift water by a suction pump more than thirty feet. The utmost height to which it is possible to suction it is 33.05 feet. The weight of the air has to do the lifting.
An Iowa farmer pays his foreman 25 cents for every pig over six to the sow which reaches the age for weaning. He likes to pay out the money, and the foreman looks upon it as clear gain. The bones system is worth studying. It will work in other fields as well as in the piggery.
Potash is difficult to get now, not because there are no ships to carry it, but because of the difficulty in securing railway and river equipment to move it from the mines and storehouses to the coast.
Corn fed the sows makes their pigs fat before farrowing, but the pigs need fat only after their eyes open on this world. Prior to that time they need only bone, muscle and vigor. Alfalfa hay, bran, roots and other protein bearing feed prepare the sow for successful farrowing. Corn fed sows are the ones which die at this critical time more than any other.—Farm and Fireside.
THE FARMER'S INCOME.
Cash Profits. Do Not Measure the Returns From a Farm. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.]
Just how much does the average farmer make? The answer to this puzzling question has been long sought by agricultural experts, since it is the ultimate test of all systems of farm management. It is simple enough to calculate the cash profits received in the course of the year, but these do not measure the farmer's success. The farm supplies him with much besides money—with food, shelter and fuel. For these things the city worker has to pay out a large part of his wages. They must, therefore, be included in any just estimate of the farmer's income. In other words, the city worker is paid entirely in cash, the farmer partly in cash, partly directly in the necessities of life.
To obtain fuller knowledge of the value of this direct contribution from the farm, the United States department of agriculture has recently concluded an investigation which included 438 farm families, divided among ten states in different sections of the country. The investigators found that on these farms the cost of maintaining each grown person was on the average $176 a year.
Of this sum only about 22 per cent was paid out in cash. The remainder was furnished by the farm, not in the form of money, but in those things for which the money would have been exchanged. The extent to which a farm can thus be made self sustaining, made to supply the wants of the family that lives upon it without resorting to buying and selling, is indicated by conditions in the particular area of North Carolina included in the investigation. This area, it may be said, is not regarded as typical of Southern agriculture.
The investigators found that the average annual value of the food, fuel, oil and shelter enjoyed by the farm family was $505. Of this sum the average farm furnished directly $429, leaving only $70 to be bought. The grocery bill was always the largest item in the cash expenditure.
This was even more apparent in other sections where the farms were less nearly self sustaining than in this particular area of North Carolina. The bulk of the groceries was always bought, but the total quantity consumed depended to a great extent upon the quantity of animal products and vegetables raised on the farm. Where these abounded the consumption of groceries diminished. From this it would seem that an obvious way to effect an important saving in expenses is to raise more vegetables and animal products on the farm. Whether it is better to cut down expenses by concentrating attention on cash crops is one of the great problems in farm management, the answer to which in each individual case depends upon local conditions. In the past, however, many farmers have not realized the existence of the alternative.
The two other important items in the cost of maintenance are house rent and labor. Both of these it is a common error to overlook in estimating the farmer's income. Since the house usually goes with the farm and the labor is performed by members of the family both are taken for granted. With labor it is much the same. The members of the family secure by their work comfort which they would otherwise have to buy, or, to put it another way, if they did the work for somebody else they would be paid. As it is, they pay themselves.
It is obvious, therefore, that what the farm furnishes directly in food, in fuel, in shelter and in rent is an important part of the farm family's income. On the other hand, it must be remembered that the farmer has capital invested in his business, the interest on which must be earned before he can truly be said to be making money. In the proper relation of the three factors —interest on the investment, cash receipts and direct income from the farm —lies the secret of successful farming.

Take two ordinary laths, get them set true with the try-square or T-square and attach the bob with a string. By using the illustration as a guide you can make a vpry serviceable help—Farm Progress.
DAIRY and CREAMERY KEEPING UP MILK FLOW. Careful Feeding Necessary to Maintain High Production.
When cows have been developed to produce from six to eight gallons of milk daily, they require unusually good care and good feeding, says Hoard's Dairyman. It is asking too much of an inexperienced man to take care of such cows and expect them to keep up to this flow of milk. We do not believe the average person realizes the amount of skill it requires to feed an animal that produces from six to eight gallons of milk daily and to sustain that production without injuring the animal. It cannot be done unless the feeds are suited to milk production and then fed according to the animal's needs. It is almost asking too much of a cow to do this amount of work unless she is supplied with some good legume hay, such as cowpen, soy bean, clover, alfalfa and the like.
It may be said that if a heavy grain ration is fed this milk yield can be sustained without a legume roughage, but it is not a wise system of feeding. In the absence of a good, rich protein
Conclusive proof of the milk producing qualities of the Holstein breed of cattle is furnished by a cow in the herd of the Montana State college. In the seven years this cow has been in the college herd she has produced over 80,000 pounds of milk and twice her own weight in butter. This is the kind of cow that puts money in the farmer's pocket. The cow here pictured is a pure bred Holstein.
roughage we would suggest feeding above forty pounds of corn allage daily and then supplement it with some of the corn stover, not forcing the animals to eat the larger or coarser portions. A mixture of 300 pounds gluten feed, 300 pounds bran and 200 pounds beet pulp will supplement this roughage well. It will require about one pound of this mixture for each three pounds of milk produced. It might be well to purchase some cotton-seed meal and use 100 pounds of it to reduce the amount of gluten feed to 200 pounds in the mixture and then feed this as suggested for the farmer combination of feed.
Silage is not a very good feed for a bull in service. Some breeders feed it quite readily, while others do not use any. Silage is a good feed, but it is rich in carbohydrates and not in protein, and the bull needs a protein feed. In the absence of any real good roughage, perhaps, for a young growing bull from ten to fifteen pounds of corn silage may be used daily with all the corn stover be will consume, and then feed him from five to eight pounds of the mixture suggested for the cows. It would be well if he could be fed some legume hay, and perhaps it would pay to buy and grind some oats, so the bull may have from two to three pounds daily.
CLIPPING THE UDDER.
Removal of Hair From Cows' Quarters
Aids In Production of Clean Milk
There are a few duties connected with dairying so apparent as to be occasionally overlooked in the advice and the discussion of dairy farming, says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. We take it for granted that the man who has pure bred dairy cattle or even grades of good quality is interested enough to keep his stables clean, his cows bedded and clean. This means more than giving them bedding. It means that they must be brushed frequently—it is the best plan to brush daily—and it also means that the cows must be clipped around the rear quarters and theudders and on the tail.
If one were to visit a certified dairy he would find all the cows clean and neatly clipped on the rear quarters. This is one of the regulations which are necessary to follow if certified milk is to be produced.
When you say bacteria to the average man you bring to his mind a sad and harrowing picture of little germs that destroy life. Bacteria are of two classes—the kind that is destructive and the kind that is productive. The latter is vastly the more important. So really the word bacteria need have no repellent effects.
We have been given accounts and pictures of the prolific family of bacteria that will cause milk to spoil which can be transported, to the pall on a single cow hair falling from the flank or her udder in the process of milking. People have come to the point where they demand, better and cleaner milk. One of the easiest and simplest ways to produce this milk is to clip the udders and the flanks of the cows in order that they may not be burdened with long hairs loaded with flith and germ life which is disturbed in the process, of milking and falls into the pall where it multiplies rapidly under conditions that are ideal for large families of bacteria.
POULTRY and EGGS FEED FOR LAYING HENS. Dry Mash Mixture That Has Been Proved by Experiments
The following rations are recommended by the New Jersey agricultural experiment station after years of experimental work and careful testing. They have given exceptionally good results throughout the state. The rations as recommended apply especially to the light active breeds like the Leghorns. Such modifications as are necessary for seasonable feeding and for heavier breeds are described. Dry mash as mixed for winter feeding:
Wheat bran, 200 pounds; wheat middlings, 200 pounds; ground oats, 100 pounds; cornmeal, 100 pounds; gluten feed, 100 pounds; alfalfa (short cut), 100 pounds; meat scrap (high grade), 200 pounds.
This ration when mixed at home will cost the poutryman about $1.80 per 100 pounds. This dry mash is mixed in bulk and kept before the birds at all
A
The hen roost herewith illustrated is a cheap, simple affair made of trestles, slats and a low platform, low down for big breeds. Additional trestles may be used to raise the dropping boards off the floor for lighter birds. This roost does not touch the wall and may be taken down and out of the house for cleaning in a few minutes. It is easily moved from one part of the house to another.
times in large self feeding, homemade hoppers. When the molt is going on, in the months of August and September it is a good practice to substitute oil meal for the gluten meal in the same proportion. This hastens the growth of feathers and causes them to finish off much better. As soon as the birds get on green range in the spring the alfalfa and meat scrap can be almost entirely eliminated. The extent to which this mash can be modified during the summer will depend upon the range which they have and the character of the food which it affords.
When the above dry mash is fed to heavier breeds than Leghorns, such, for example, as Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, especially with yearlings and two-year-old hens, the tendency is to take on an excessive amount of body fat. Under these conditions the hopper should be closed during the morning and left open only during the afternoon. This compels the bird to work more in looking for the grain, equal parts by weight of wheat and oats, five pounds of the mixture to each 100 birds, or rather more for the medium weight breeds, fed scattered in the litter in the morning.
EGGS IN COLD WEATHER.
Method of Feeding and Care That Has Produced Results.
The biggest problem with poultrymen and farmers who keep chickens is how to get eggs during January and February, for these are the two months in which eggs are always scarce and high priced in every state. We have been able the past three winters to keep our young hens laying right through these two months, while our neighbors scarcely got an egg, writes a correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer. Our method is no secret. The trouble is, it is so simple our neighbors have not the faith to try it "You are just simply lucky," they will say.
Besides the green feed and meat scraps, we feed them a grain ration as follows: Parched corn at noon and parched oats or rye at night. We put the grain in a large pan kept in the range till it is browned through. We feed about a fourth bushel to every thirty bens. We have tried to cut this grain feed down, but whenever we did the egg crop fell off.
Our remedy for lice and mites is simple and cheap. We use tobacco dust: the cleanings from a tobacco barn, which are so dry they will pulverize into dust. However, they can be bought for about 10 cents a bushel. Sprinkle about a tablespoonful on the back of each fowl, rubbing the feathers toward the head.

David having been established as

Lord, the symbol of the presence of
the, Lord in the midst of [iis people.
The last record of the ark was when
the Piilistines returned it in a new
cart with an offering; the men of Beth-
shemesh transgressed by looking into
it, and 50,000 perished; they were glad

our Iesson chapter and in chapter vil, 2,
it is mentioned stiien times, aud in
the parallel record iil I Chrow. xiii, xv
and Xvi it is mentioned twenty-five
times. It always, suggests righteous-
ness Which God requires, but also that
righteousness provided in Christ, who
is the end of thy law for righteousness
to every one that belfeveth. The blood
on the mercy seat speals of the sacri-
fice on Calvary, and the cherubim beat-
en out of the same piece of gold as
the mercy seat tell of the oneness of
Christ with His redeemed.
The Lord of hosts dwelling be
tween the cherublm (verse 2; I Chron.
xii, 6; I Sam. iv, 4; Ps. Ixxx, 1)
tells of the mércy of God in Christ and
of His provision for communion with
us (Ex, xxv, 21, 22), for it 1s our privi-
Jege to say “Truly our fellowship is
with the Father and with His Son
Jesus Christ’ (I John 1, 3). Although
David's desire to provide a place
for the ark in Jerusalem was com-
mendable, he was certainly put of
fellowship with God in the way he
took to accomplish it and in his adopt-
ing the method of the Philistines, when
‘he really knew better, as we shall see.
David's folly in the matter of a new
cart to bear the ark instead of the
shoulders of the priests (chapter vil, 3;
I Chron. xill, 7; xv, 2, 12-15) brought
about the death of Uzzah, terror in the
‘heart-of David and the ark resting for
three months in the house of Obed-
-edom. When the Lord instructs us as
| to how He desires His work to he done
there is nothing for us to do but obey
‘and avoid all methods but His own.
eee ae ie ost sevons thiogs tn
so eafled church work of our day is the
worldly methods which ‘seem to have
‘been adopted on all sides instead of
Prayer and fasting and looking to the
Lord alone to carry on His work in
His way by His Holy Spirit. As truly
‘as the Lord gave Moses that plan of
| the tabernacle and David the plan of
the temple (Ex. sxv, 9, 40; 1 Chron.
-ESvili, 12, 19), leaving no room for sug-
gestions or improvements or modifica-
tions of any Isind from them, so has He
as plainly told us His plan for subdu-
ing this world to Timself and malting
it a new earth wherein dwelleth right-
cousness. We are not permitted to be
conformed to this present evil world
in any way, nor are we to think of
making this world, which lieth in the
wicked ove, a righteous werld, for it
cannot be done while the devil is its
god, ruling as he does in politics and
in commerce and in social life and also
in much that is called religions. [See
my tract entitied “The Secret of Mis-
sionary Interest.” L. & K., box 216,
airisburg, Pa.]
When the ark finally reached its
place In the tent that David had pitcb-
ed for it there was grcat rejoicing be-
fore the Lord, and David blessed the
People in the name of the Lord of
hosts (verses 12-19). Thdfe is always
blessing associated with obedience to
the Lord. Chapter vil is one of the
most important records in the whole
story of David, for it tells of God's un-
conditional covenant with David con-
cerning the everlasting kingdom yet to
be set up on the earth, with Israel as
its center and an immortal man upon
the throne of David at Jerusalem (vii,
12-24). That David knew that the|
promised son was not Solomon, but the
Messiah, is plainly stated in Acts il,
30, and Messiah risen from the dead,
an immortal man, for no mortal man
could rejen forever. ‘The same person

DR. M. M. PONTON ANSWERS
QUIRIES PERTAINING TO
DR. W. D. JOHNSON
Holding my conference membership in the Eighth Episcopal District, while I am a resident of the Sixth Episcopal District 'tis not easy for those who do not know to locate me, hence I am the recipient of a large number of inquiries about this and the other man as to his or their fitness, their worth and their service in the church. But however much I may prize this evidence of confidence in my judgement and for my opinion, I very reluctantly take this method of replying to a large number of inquiries.
The one man more than any about whom inquiries have reached me is Dr. W. D. Johnson of Georgia. And from time titine I have been asked by many of my own personal friends as well as a number of those forty-two who voted for me at the Kansas City General Conference, "What do you think of the merit, worth and ability of the Secretary of our last General conference, and his interest in Georgia, as well as his claims upon the men in Georgia and the general church?"
Again I am confronted with this reluctance, as well as embarrassment, because I do not wish to be classed, by those who know me best, as a coward who is afraid to advance an opinion which will serve to help or further as well as to guide men of less information to reach the conclusion they seek. And it is with hesitation I attempt to answer these interrogatories. Not, however because I have any scruples about the merit, the character and fitness of Rev. W. D. Johnson of Georgia, but because I do not care at this early date to pass an opinion which will prejudice a course which I believe will be settled at the proper time and in the right way by the merit system, and in this. I am sure all well thinking people acquiesce.
Yet silence now would insult the confidence of my friends, and reflect detrimentally upon the life and character of Dr. W. D. Johnson. This I do not purpose to do, therefore, I shall not be guilty of the breach of respect, because it is due Dr. Johnson as I have known him from personal contact so long and, an acquaintance and association in and out of Georgia, and in various forms of Church service, for me to say that I have not met a man whose christian bearing and gentlemanly conduct, as well as ability and merit, in all African Methodism who has impressed me more than I have been by him.
He is a hard student of books and of men, and he is most unusually informed, and has a working knowledge of the affairs of to-day which are of public interest. He is not only one of the most progressive presiding elder under one of the most palestaking bishops on the bench, but he is the most efficient secretary our General Conference has ever had, when all the circumstances are considered. And I speak for Georgia and her men when I say I am of the opinion that William Decker Johnson, Jr., and his friends are counted by hundreds throut the bounds of the church. Yes, Johnson can be relied upon as one of the big men who means what he says, and says what he means—and this is the only, really true big man. Upon such a man the people lean for support and help.
Dr. Johnson, from what I have been able to glean, is an administration man, that is, he is in the cabinet—but he maintains his own individuality. He is no man's tool, and he is no man's fool. I speak thus of Dr. Johnson in due deference and justice to the rank and file of our ministry, to our laity and to the righteous cause of the righteous church we represent.
Again, Dr. Johnson is not guilty nor is he a creature of many of the common weaknesses which smirch and be mear the life and character of so many of the younger men of our day. If he is a trickster he does not know how to work them. He is too large to stoop so low. I have found him to be an upright christian gentleman in the fullest and most complete expression of that term. And no one knowing him will ever charge him with laziness or indifference to his duty, when, where and whatever that duty may be. He is not sloven in his work but he is a painstaking executor of whatever he undertakes. I am not advancing a new idea. The informed, the student of church literature throut out the entire church have some knowledge of the services of Dr. Johnson. His able contribution to the church and secular press show the prodigious mind of the prodigious reader, the busy and thoughtful man.
Dr. Johnson is not a whiner nor a complainer. He meets conditions and grapples with them as they are. He is a busy man—on he goes here and there building up his church and giving her the service she so much needs from him. The interest of his race lies so near his heart that he has no time to worry over those things which disturb and distort the mind of the average preacher. He is too large to
Again, much has been asked about places and positions for which Georgia men seek. At first this matter of Georgia's aspiration may seem like a a/local matter and ill becomes, an outsider to discuss, but when it is conceived that these aspirants seek the support of the delegates who will make up the next general conference, then the answer to this query seems to rest with these delegates, whoever they may be, and not with me nor any other one individual.
But I venture this much: that knowing Georgia as I do, I do not know now and few if any any men can now know what Georgia men will do in a matter of this nature.
Now no set of men can tell what course a Georgia man will take. I care not whether that man is black or white. You are never in position to say which way Georgia will go in a matter involving the future. We may know only which way she went—and she usually goes the right way. But it is reasonable to believe that the great mass of Georgians in and out of the ministry realize those essential, necessary and fundamental qualities found in William Decker Johnson, which are coveied 'merits by the good and grand of the world; and if left to themselves this great mass who recognizes Dr. Jornson's qualities would attempt to put this recognition into more practical form. And I am of the opinion that Dr. Johnson will receive that which is due from Georgia men. What more shall I say for others whose names shall appear from time to time? I hope I have answered the questions of my inquilitors.
BISHOP TURNER'S FUNERAL IMPRESSIVE
of the A. M. E. Church at the ripe age of 84 years, and
Whereas, Bishop Turner was one of the foremost men of the race in this country and one of the greatest men of the age, and
Whereas, his love and learning, his originality and scholarship, obtained thru continuous application to study in the varied fields of human knowledge, have made his life an example for the young, and
Whereas, his great love for his race and his keen and prophetic vision as to its future welfare and growth have endearced him to the present generation wherever the Negro is dispersed thru- out the world, and

Army during the Civil war; as member of the constitutional Convention and both branches of the state legislature during the period of reconstruction; as postmaster at Macon, Ga., and Government Inspector at Savannah, Ga; a organizer, pastor, presiding elder general officer, for 35 years bishop and 23 years senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church and the founder of the missionary work of the A. M.

Therefore be it
Resolved, that we the members of the Evangelical Ministers' Union, bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. Second, that in the death of Bishop Turner, the country has lost an hon-
ored citizen; the race a brave and faithful champion and leader, the church a spiritual father, the family a fond husband and father and a kind protector, the cause of christian endeavor a noble example and the young a worthy source of inspiration. Third, that we cherish his memory and transmit to our children in tradition, history, and song the glorious deeds of our venerable sire. Fourth, that/ these resolutions be read at the funeral services of the deceased at Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday May 19 1915, a copy to be sent to the press, a copy to the bereaved family and that these resolutions be a part of the record of the Ministers' Union.
Fifth, that we commend the family to the tender care of Him who hath promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless.
Sixth, that the Union now adjourn as a mark of respect to the distinguished divine.

RECIPROCAL NEWS SERVICE
FROM THE "AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER
Baltimore, Md.—A crowd of nearly two thousand rooters saw Robert Earl Jonhson, running for the Morgan College, this city, win the second annual modified marathon race, (five miles) held under the auspices of the Afro-American Ledger, with the sanction of the A. A. U., last Saturday morning. Daniel E. Boley, who finished second, running for the Tea Rose Social, also of this city, compelled the winner to play second fiddle during the early part of the race, and might have won but for having met with an accident a few weeks before the race which somewhat impaired his physical condition.
There were thirty-five runners entered for the race, representing Howard University, and Y. M. C. A., both of Washington, and the Astoria A. A., Dunbar A. C., St. Mary's A. A., Morgan College, Monark P. C., Tea Rose S. C., Clef Jr. P. C., Phalanx P. C., Golden Arrow P. C., and the High School, all of this city.
The thirty-four entrants who started at the scratch took the course alone Park Heights avenue for about two miles thru the suburbs of, the city, and thru Druld Hill Park, and along several of the city streets, finishing in front of the Afro-American building. The winners of the race did not separate themselves from the other runners until they neared the park, when Boley took the lead, with Johnson the winner second, and Thomas F. Jones winner of last year's marathon, third. Just after leaving the park, however Johnson forged ahead of Boley, and Jones seeing his chances of victory vanishing, dropped out of the race entirely, while James Finney, a seventeen-year-old lad running for the Dunbar A. A., moved up to third place. These places they maintained until the finish. Harry A Boulding, running for the Washington Y. M. C. A., and Aaron Boulding for Howard University finished fourth and fifth respectively. Winners time 33-minutes 25 seconds.
The club trophy awarded to the club having the most men to finish within the first 15 was awarded to Dunbar A. A., they having three to

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 sun, for instance, exercising, no mean force upon the tides—but the chief influence is attributable to the moon. To be sure, there is hardly any theory that is not objected to by somebody, but the theory that tidal action is due mainly to the pull of Luna may be accepted "without a reasonable doubt"—New York American.
their face from him. None but the herds who kept their sheep saw or knew of it till they fell to the ground in a great blaze of light, and a host of bright ones in the sky sang such a song as no choir on earth has sung, which gave praise to God on high, "and on earth peace, good will to men." Those herds had faith to go and seek the child of whom they were told. They found him in the crib, and they saw more than their eyes could see. They knew that in that weak child was the power of God to save. And so these good men, when they had bow'd down, went back to their flock, struck with awe, and "gave praise to God for all they had heard and seen."
Shall we do less? Shall we not, too, go home and give thanks on our part, with joy for what we have heard? And in all our joy let us find room for the one guest who should not be left out—room in our hearts for him whose word is life.
The Truly Reticent Woman.
Speak of a reticent woman and most people picture to themselves a woman who doesn't talk much. But the truly reticent woman—the woman who makes reticence an art—is not at all silent. She talks with apparently the greatest candor, so that people, go away from her saying what a frank, genial woman she is. And no one ever suspects, unless he or she is phenomenally clever, that the genial conversationalist had all sorts of unspoken things in her mind—Exchange.
A Trying Time.
"Colonely" asked the beautiful girl,
"when was the most trying moment of
your life?"
"It was when I went to my wife's
father for the purpose of asking him
to let me have her. He was very deaf,
and I had to explain the matter before
twenty clerks."—Chicago Record-
Herald.
Pleasure at Death.
A wise man shall not be deprived of pleasure even when death shall summon him, forasmuch as he has attained the delightful end of the best life, departing like a guest full and well satisfied. Having received life upon trust, and duly discharged that office, he acquits himself at departing—Epistetus.
Oratory.
The difference between a public speaker and an orator is that an orator is one who performs feats of legerdemain with home, mother and the star spangled banner. - Philadelphia Ledger.
