The way some people support Negro papers and other enterprises reminds us of the story brother "windy breeches." Owfing to be shortness of space, we will not, however, at this time relate the funny story about the funnies individual. These people. suffice it to say, subscribe for a Negro paper with wind, pay for it with wind. If the average Negro paper could subsist on windy talk every Negro editor would live in brick houses, have a 2000 page paper, hire 5000 printers, use 100 presses, have 3001 domestic servants, and then have plenty of wind and talk to spare, But, fate has so decreed, that it takus the same kind of "sponulix" to run a Negro paper that it takes to run a white paper. There may have been a time in the ancient or medeavel days when a Negro paper did not have to use the hard cash to run a paper, but, sad as it may be that time is not now. Whenever you hear a fellow talk so much about his race pridism, ask him if he is a subscriber to his home Negro or any other Negro paper, if so, has he paid his subscription, theron hangs the key. As a rule editors can buy more with one's cash subscriber than he can with a thousand windy subscribere. Tsis rule may vary—but we don't think so. What think ve, my brother KANSAS CITY. The elevation of the Negro race in Kansas City is daily increasing, so much that they are receiving much comment from the whites. In one particular business they are showing their knowledge of, at the present time. I. E Realesta the past three years they have been more pbrchases of real estate by the Negroes than there were in twenty years previous. You may say how do I account for this, Well, the time has come in Kansas City, that the rental agents refuses to rent the Negro a decent house to live in. At first when we began to consider the question we thought they were trying to drive us out of the city, but on the contary they were testing our ambition as they did when we freed ourselves from slaveay or when we marched in fuont in the battle of San Juan Hill. I over heard a conversation between two Neogroes, of this great metropolis. od the street cars the other day, in which one stated that he had payed $3,500 for rental of one house, the other one said he had been paying $20,00 month for several years and thought nothing of it until the agent told him he would have to move and earch for another house proved unsuccessful, every agent he tried to rent from insisted en sailing him the house. He con sequently made up his mind to buy far lower terms per month than he had been paying for rent. He succeeded in paying for his place in a very short time, he said if he had commenced to buy instead of rent he would have owned three homes instead of one. Now if the white man would refuse to sell us groceries, meats and Dry Goods we would haase more stores that we could say is maintained and supported by Negroes, in other words we would soon be an enddependent self-supporting race of people. As the Negro race has marched to the front in all his undertakings. I advise cim to take on harder tasks in order to up build himself as well as his education. Some of our race will die antissapating the fine elote problem, but I am for houses lots and other lines of business that never wears out. K.

There is quite a great deal being whispered on the streets concerning a citizen ticket next spring, from the fact that there are a big number of office-seekers who are hunting for a big fat office on his shape and nerve. There is some talk of a Negro Investment company being started in this city soon, and it is said to be started so that a person or persons can take stock as low as 50c This something that is greatly in need in this city, and there is no reason why one could not be successful. It is hoped that those who are at the bottom of this enterprise will soon put it in opporation and with good men at the foundation that will command the respect and attention of the entire public regardless of color. Sedalia needs a Colored Women' Aid Sociieiy, that will give aid and help to the helpless and suffering people of our city. There a quite a number of them that Mrs Coe cannot get to and consequently the cannot aid them, and kind of a society would be a great helper to her and a great benefactor to suffering, We have a large number of respectable colored women in our city, who has time and ability to do this word, and who seems to be adopted to it. Who will help to start this work. There are several good and reliable colored men who are candidates for janitorship of the court house. We are informed that Mr Joe Guy, Caleb Bledsoe, Al Jones and one or two other colored men are after the job. The Negro voters of the city and county have their eyes turned toward this one job and if the attempt fails it will long be remembered by the voters With this issue of our paper, we launch forth into the year of 1903. As an offering for the future, we have no great things to put forth; for what the future has in store no man can tell. But we can only judge the future by the past—be that what it is. In beginning the year 1903, we have as our object to give to the people a clean, wholesome, newsy race paper for this year. As a guarantee of our faithfulness to do so we have only our word to offer—man has no higher pledge. As a proof of our faithfulness we have only offer our record of the past nine years of tireless effords. We pledge that in the future, as in the past, we will do better than the past and give the people a paper on the high level, but above a paper published regularly and on time once a week. In our effort to do this we solicit the support of every member of our race and every friend and well wisher of the race.

Davis and wife Average Lifes of Popular Brands Said to Be Five Years. "The average life of the nickel cigar is five years," said a prominent tobacco man to a writer for the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "and it is curious to note the differences which have enabled cigar men to arrive at this general average of the five-cent cigar's life. Many cigars of this class run through a long series of years. There are some brands now that have been running for more than a quarter of a century under the same name, and they are really the same cigars, made in the same way, having the same flavor and all that sort of thing. In this connection I have been impressed by the remark which we often hear about certain brands of cigars changing in quality. I heard a man say the other day that he had been smoking a certain brand of cigars for two years or longer, but that the cigar was getting so bad that he had concluded to quit buying it at all. 'It is nothing like the same cigar,' he said; 'the taste has changed, and it tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves.' Now he was altogether wrong about that. I know the cigar, know how it is made and all about it, and I know that no sort of change has been made in the process of manufacture. The trouble is that man's taste changes. He may get up feeling badly, his stomach may be in bad shape, and of course the cigar will not taste as it did when his system was in better condition. The cigar is blamed, and he simply dashes the thing into the street, and quits buying it. Instances of this sort are very common. Mind you I do not mean to say that some of the brands do not change. There are tricks in the cigar business, just as there are tricks in other trades. But in nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the smoker. But recurring to the age of cigars, the average to which I have referred has been settled upon by tobacco men and is accepted throughout the country. It is reached by taking the two extremes, the good and the bad five cent cigar, and nguring back to the middle. Some five cent cigars close with the first lot made. They are failures, having nothing in them to recommend them to the public. The material out of which they are made would not make decent 'three-fors,' the kind that are sold to the negroes on the river. The higher grades of five cent cigars are made as carefully, and with as much skill as the cigars that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mind saying that many of them are really far superior in material, flavor and method of manufacture. So many of them, however, are of the cheap kind that the average is lowered to five years, while the average life of the higher priced cigars will run to a much higher figure." TWO MOONS OF SALT. Some Interesting Statements Concerning Amount of Salt in the Sea. Roughly speaking, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, if you take the salt out of the sea water, you deprive it of a thirtieth of its weight. On that basis one-thirtieth of the entire weight of all the sea water in the world is salt, and, as salt and water bulk about the same, we may estimate, also, that, by bulk, one-thirtieth of the huge mass of the ocean is pure salt. What does this bring us to? Mortified Bridegroom—You told me your father's wedding present would be a check for four figures. Blushing Bride—Well, isn't $11.30 four figures?—Chicago Tribune.

Short Talks On Advertising ByCharles Austin Bates. I talked the other day with a man who had failed in the drug business. He said that he didn't believe that advertising a drug store paid, and that it was so different from other businesses that advertising could not possibly help it. He said that his store had been an exceptionally good one; that the location was very fair, and that the stock was above reproach, but there were two other come acquainted with him and his store in that way. By advertising he could tell them that there were different grades of paregoric, and that he kept the best grade; but he didn't try it, and so he knows positively that advertising doesn't pay. Maybe he would have had to advertise three or six months, or possibly for a year, before he would have found that he was gaining actual profit on his advertising expenditure. Advertising a new business is, to a certain extent, like advertising in the dull season. It is the after-effect that must be looked at and not the imme- No. 25.

The people round about were acquainted with them." come acquainted with him and his store in the them that there were different grades of parer but he didn't try it, and so he knows positively Maybe he would have had to advertise three before he would have found that he was ga expenditure. Advertising a new business is, in the dull season. It is the after-effect that diate returns. Even if a new man were to meet his prospective customers personally, it would be some time before he would make actual buyers of them. It is this way with a traveling salesman. The first few trips in a new territory do not consume very many pages of his order book. In the mean time he is getting acquainted—advertising. He is letting people know who he is and what he is doing, and what he wants. If he is pleasant and courteous and persistent, he will win trade, but it will take time. Do not expect an ad to do more than a man. Copyright, Charles Austin Bates, New York.

The people round about were acquainted with them, and to some they were just a little bit more conveniently situated than the new store. My friend, the druggist, didn't try advertising. That is the way he knows that it does not pay. He said: "People do not realize that there is a difference in drugs—that the paragoric they get in one drug store is better than that which they get in another." Advertising would have saved that man's business. By advertising he would have introduced himself to the people, and they would have be in that way.

Germany Is Encouraging Its Application for Fuel and for Power Purposes. The kaiser of Germany is encouraging every effort toward the use of alcohol for lighting, fuel and power purposes, and under the stimulus of prizes offered to inventors and engine constructors it is being largely utilized in various ways. Alcohol is economically made from a number of products in Germany, and consequently the supply of it is very large. At a recent exhibition demonstrating the use of alcohol there were shown a number of motors, farming implements and similar things propelled by an alcohol flame. There were also lamps which displayed great efficiency. In a report recently made to Washington, Consul General Guenther writes from Frankfort that the chief of the fire department of Hanover has recently invented an alcohol firing apparatus, used in connection with an automobile fire engine, which is said to be very satisfactory in practice. The engine is driven to the scene of the fire by an alcohol motor, and while on the way the steam is gotten up by the new invention noted above so that the engine is ready for operation immediately on its arrival on the ground. Ordinarily it is necessary to keep the engine constantly fired in order that the steam supply may be immediately available. Otherwise much time is lost in getting up steam. BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. Diminutive Canines of Ancient Breed That Could Be Carried in a Glove. There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. Early Roman accounts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 describe several varieties of hounds, including "the little beagle which may be carried in a man's glove." That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Queen Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridiculed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly to the elbow. What became of those, glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the American Authorities. Cuban cities, like Havana and Santiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow fever and smallpox have been practically stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps instituted a general system of housecleaning. Every house in the city was cleaned from top to bottom under the supervision of American officers, whether the tenant was of high or low degree; remonstrances availed nothing. As many as 16,000 houses were cleaned in one month. The sewer sys- SHOWN BY THE JEWELERS. Hatpins show large French brilliants set in balls. Long pearl necklaces are shown which tie in the back with silver tassels. For evening wear there are jeweled tortoise-shell combs which come in sets of three and four. Little gilt pins that securely clasp the bow worn low on the back of the hair in the new low coiffure are among the novelties. Sterling silver vases come in beautiful designs, being tall and slender in shape to accommodate long-stemmed flowers. Among bug pins is a dragon fly with wings of emeralds and ruby eyes. Butterfly pins have wings set in emeralds, diamonds and rubies. One of the newest things in jewelry this fall is a thumb seal ring, coming direct from Rome. The ring of either silver or gold is massive in appearance and the seal is large enough to be of practical use in sealing letters. It bears an engraved coat of arms or a curiously wrought monogram, plain letters not being considered good form. A silver walnut on the end of milady's long chain is more than an ornament. Some contain a tiny powder puff and powder, a small perfume bottle, besides a place for the pictured face of a sweetheart. Others are intended to hold small change—nickels and dimes—and have a sort of string to hold the coin secure, while others hold a thimble and a small emry. Didn't Enjoy Her Company.

A FIGHTER There died at the aquarium recently an angel fish that for years had had a tank all to itself. It differed from the other angel fish exhibited there also in the respect that it lived unusually long in captivity, says the New York Sun. One reason why the angels are hard to keep is their scrappiness among themselves. The fight and quarrel and wound one another with the sharp spines with which their gill covers are armed. This long-lived angel fish killed two or three tank mates, or so wounded them that they died of their injuries, and it continued to attack other angel fish put into the tank with it, until finally, and because of its great beauty, it was permitted to occupy a tank by itself. It was a vigorous, hardy fish, and the brightest-colored fish the aquarium has ever had; and all angel fish are beautiful. Some angel fish have yellow tails. This one had a blue tail with a yellow edge and the characteristic angel fish blue of its body was of the deepest and at the same time the most livid and brilliant blue. At times it seemed almost luminous; it was a wonderful and most beautiful blue. Fighter as it was among its kind, it was one of the tamed fish in the aquarium. It took food from the hand when it had been there two weeks, and was ready to take food in that manner always thereafter. On the last day that it was fed something so frightened the angel fish that it jumped out of the water and struck the wire screen over its tank with such violence as to inflict a serious cut in its head. It had been in perfect health and condition up to that time, but, susceptible as all fishes are to fright and shock, this was too much or it and M. B. DR. C. N. VALDEN.

From Infancy To Age Mother and Child Laxavola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective to... for children BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like island ask for it." BEST because it tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent catharics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA! For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowc's and carries out the cause of the fermentation. “My baby is 4 months old and is toothing. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bows, and that I would never pull him through peril. I was so concerned about the health of my children. When I saw it was getting worse, I stopped giving him is me sticine, as he could keep nothing. He was troubled with colic very much, and used to screen when he had a touch of it. I did not know what it was to go to my eye over night. I came in a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to my feet when he was a littleکمبین. I was very much so much he had a great pain and he was very resty. He was good to me. I was a great deal better looking baby after a rate him LAXAKOLA, and I think if I do, my children have how good it was, they would give nothing else to their sick buties.” MRS. MARY HALLEY, 697 First Street, South Boston, Mass. Laxavola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure.

Enclosed is safe, for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has some me much good."
