Smith College of our city opened for the present term, last Tuesday, with quite a large number of students enrolled, among them were a number of new ones who is now spending their first ear in this college. The opening cerimonies were had in the afternoon. Pres Lowe making a splendid opening address to the students and visitors present, explaining why certain parts of the printed program was omitted, however the program was carried out about as follows; Rev W. M. Smith, presiding elder delivered a touching address to the students of the school, encouraging them along the lines of Christain Education. Rev Gillum, DD., of St. Louis, was the next speaker, who spoke on the great Emancipation Day of which the school [is opening on, and the great demand for young men and women, of Chsistain Education, Rev B. F. Abbott, of Springfield, followed with an telling address upon the large flag that was donated to the school by McGlaugthen Bros. Rev Wm Alexander pastor of Quinn chapel, A. M. E. Church, delivered a touching and soul stirring address, encouraging the students in their noble effort. Rev J. M.

I wish that the Negroes of Sedalia would one time open their eyes so they might behold the great disregard that a certain white restaurant keeper has for them and their trade with him. Although to me it seems as though a blind man could easily see and understand the meaning of such treatment, this restaurant is patronized daily by many Negroes who spend money freely, but the accommodations accorded them is something horrible. This restaurant has a number of tables for white people; a lunch cobnter which one might term a horseshoe counter, two sides of which for whites, the other, the east for Negroes, close to the wall. At the same time we may mention that the Negroes spend one-fourth of the money that is spent in this restaurant at night, and on show and Sunday nights it is a common thing to see a number of negroes standing up waiting for a chance to spend their money in this place. In most cases its a young man with a lady while Negroes are waiting for a chance. A number of tables are not always in use, which no Nogro car use. Also in this restaurant is a common wash basin to be used by whites, not Negroes, therefore you may readily see the accommodations are not for Negroes, and at the same time one-fourth of the earnings come from them. This should be enough evidence to prove to every Negro patronizing it that he does not care his trade. He says you are not worthy of sitting at his tables or using his accommodations. Then you should fail to patronize him. It is time you should let him know that you have pride as well as the white people. Patronize our Negro restaurant like you do him and he will be able to in time to have as nice a place of business as can be found. A CILIZEN.

Their friendship was rather the result of a forced mutual dependence than anything else, and they drifted into it before either realized the turn events were taking. At first it had been nothing more than an interchange of a few remarks on leaving the hotel dining room in the morning, and an occasional chat on the piazza after supper. From this it became a regular thing to saunter together down to the boat landing for a pull across the lake before the sun made outdoor exercise impossible. Then, because the mail came at 12, it suited them both to linger under the shade trees on the lawn until the distribution of letters began. It was on these occasions that they compared notes upon the subject of summer resorts in general and Fairview Springs in particular. They were there for the same reason—rest and change of air. Both were eager to exchange the quiet of the place for the rush of their everyday life. It was not easy for him to shake off the thought of his neglected law practice and it was equally hard for her to forget the half-finished manuscripts calling for attention in her desk at home. With a frankness which was not flattering and which would have surprised either under other circumstances they only discussed their dismay over the prospect of remaining two months or longer at Fairview and bestowed their most ardent pity on all new-comers to the Springs. If in the beginning he had accepted the situation blindly, he was the first to realize it in its full significance for, argue with himself as he might, there was at least no overcoming the disagreeable truth that he had given his promise to one woman and his love to another. In his inmost soul he knew he had no right to feel that perfect sense of happiness which had lately come to him. It was only when he was alone that conflicting emotions took possession of him. When he looked into her steadfast eyes he was conscious that she had moved him as no other woman had done. He did not tell himself that he had never loved until now; but knew it was because he wished he could undo the past, and this had never been the case before. He heeded her always, he would reason with himself, but whenever he used this argument he felt that she would be the first (could she know it) to assure him that he was striving after the shadow and not the substance. He was a weakling, trying to depend on her strength. A cablegram calling her home—her sudden departure one morning—these were things to recall her to the reality of life. A formal little note of farewell, two or three faded roses—and a memory were all he had to tell of the summer. Rudely awakened from his dream of happiness, he was like a man proping in the dark. "The right way!" he said to himself. "Which is right?" With his face buried in his hands, he thought the matter out. The spell of her presence was gone, but its fragrance remained. She is also fighting out the battle alone. It is strange that actuated by the same feeling and arguing along the same lines they should have arrived at such widely different conclusions. The first letter she wrote was not to him—but another man. "Forgive me," it said, "for the pain I am about to cause you, for I can only give you back your promise and ask you to forgive me. There was a time when I believed that the calm friendship I had for you was love, but now I know that poor human hearts were made for more, and they will have their due. Do not reproach me, for it was not my fault that I learned this too late." Then she began to turn the pages of one of her manuscripts, wearily trying to collect her thoughts. But a while ago everything was different. When she was tred there had been someone whose strong arms were ever ready to receive her; and now—but she could not think of it just then. The letter that he wrote brought tears to the eyes of the girl who read it: "I have been away for a long time,' it said, "but I am coming home tomorrow. As I look through my window I can see the foliage on the mountain side changing to red and purple, and yesterday I saw a flock of birds flying to the south. Think it it; the roses were in bloom when I told you good-bye. Now I want to ask you to take me 'for better, for worse,' before the snow marks the winter time. For better, for worse, such as I am, take me and make me what you will of me. Heaven grant it may be 'for better.'" He Guessed the Trouble. "This is a cold, unfeeling world," he remarked, bitterly. "Ha!" returned his companion. "You have heard the ribald laugh when you slipped on a banana skin, too, have you?"—Brooklyn Eagle. **Sound and Spelling.** A musical fellow in B.

You wouldn't plant seed in a garden and never look at it again. If you did, the chances are that it would never grow into the fruit-bearing stage of development. I saw a notice the other day of an advertisement which had been run continuously in identically the same form since 1866. That advertisement may have done some good, probably did; but to bring really adequate returns, advertising should be freshened by frequent changes of copy. I have recommended frequent changes to a man, who said: "Yes, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week"—or once a month, as the case might be. That doesn't alter the case at all. The advertisement should be changed, and, if it costs a little more, it costs a little more, and that's all there is of it. It will pay to pay the I saw a notice the other day of an advertisement which had been run continuously in identically the same form since 1866.

I have recommended frequent changes to a man, who said: "Yes, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week"—or once a month, as the case might be.

It will pay to pay the additional charge. You wouldn't plant seed in the garden and never go near it again. A shrewd advertiser said to me recently: I like to advertise in papers which charge a good, stiff, extra rate for display and for the insertion of cuts. The fact that they do this prevents a good many people using them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, run- them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, running the risk of making mistakes, and with almost the certainty of failing to get a really good announcement. A bad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do some good pay. ads; i it is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought. Do not say you haven't time, because this part of the business is just as important as any other. In one sense, it is more important, because without it the business cannot amount to very much. n't such a hard thing to write good ad. It is main- tained by the writer's requisite amount of thought.

Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing. This treatment was a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and 20-day, after five weeks, any hearing in the ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain. Very truly yours. F. A. WERMAN, 735 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation!

From Infancy To Age Mother and Child Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never gries or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because its 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 cathartics 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 colds 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 diarrhea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. "My baby is 4 months old and is teething. 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 intestines and would never pull him through. I kept not taking any medicine. Then I was wasting weight. I properly gave him his nightwear, as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. He was troubled with colic very much, and used to scream when he had a touch of it. I knew what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I knew it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he no / rests, knows how to sleep. I knew it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and it thinks it is not wrong anything else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 597 First Street, South Boston, Mass. Laxakola 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. What Mrs. Edw. Pugh, E. Palestine, O., Box 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample, it has done so much good, send me a 50c, bottle." March 28, "Bottle came safe, did me a lot of good, drugs here don't keep it, so enclosed is 50c, please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 6th, "Enclosed is 50c for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done much good." Laxakola for Old Folks.—In the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose.

The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warning, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy.
