Sedalia Weekly Conservator. M. Prof. Inman E. Page, Pres. Oklahoma Normal and Industrial College, Longston, Okla., who delivered the Fourth of August Address here—A part of which is given below. VOL. 11. Prof. Inman E. Page, and Industrial College delivered the Fourth of part of which is given Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens: Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens. Permit me to congratulate you today on the loyalty of the Negro race which I see displayed on this occasion in commemoration of this historic day in celebrating the Emancipation of his race. If there be one race more than any other on Americas soil that should get together once every year for a rejoicing and jollification, it is the Negro race, for that race above every other race in America has come to the position which it occupies through the greatest trials and tribulations, therefore I congratulate you both old and young upon the pains you have taken to make this celebration possible. Emancipation Day serves as a reminder of the depths from which we have come and my memory takes me back, whether I be in one part of America or another, my memory takes me back to that time here on Missouri soil when the Negro was declared by J. W. Hancock in the Dred Scott Decision to be mere cattle, a thing with no rights which the white man was bound to respect, Emancipation Day reminds me of the great struggle of the 60's through which many of you doubtless passed, when the question began to be debated as to whether this Union should be perpetual or should go to pieces. I am reminded of the fact that when that debate ceased to be one of words and became one of arms that the Negro, although oppressed, desired to march under the flag of the Union in order that the Union might be preserved, but was told on that occasion that the war which was being fought was a white man's war and not for the Negro and no Negro need apply. When the battle flag was furled and the war drum ceased to beat, we found ourselves 4,000,000 people starting out upon the career of freedom. We had no land that we could call our own. We had no house to live in that had a roof but the starry sky above. We had no education of the head and very little of the heart. We were turned loose to make our way with nothing to buy our food with, nothing to pay with to conduct the greatest Government the world has ever seen, nothing to encourage us we find ourselves without education of either head or heart and hence it is not surprising that in that early day, they began to wonder what would become of this new born race. Forty years ago the country was filled with prophicies as to the destiny of these Negroes and declared that they would not be able to stand the career of civilization. That the Negro would today without education perish and that having been a slave, he would not have --- the courage to stand up and look our America in the face. In spite of all the difficulties surrounding us, in spite of our poverty, we have gone along and tried in our humble way to educate our children and now as a result we have an army of 2,000,000 children attending public schools. In the Colleges and Universities thru-out this country we have 40,000 students. We have 12,000 students who are stndying the classics of this language. We have 12,000 students who are studying the sciences; and then if you will go with me I could take you to schools which we are conducting thru-out the country and I will show you 30,000 boys and girls who are learning the various industrial arts that contribute to the knowledge of our native land. We have in our schools 30,000 teachers. We have doctors and surgeons who number 1,740. We have lawyers who are attempting to protecting the lives of the people who number seven million strong. We have preachers, so far as the statistics have been able to count accurately, numbering between twenty and thirty thousand and the statistics, are showing us that we have actually increased the number of preachers more rapidly than any of the other races. Thus the increase of our preachers show that the Negro is thinking more of the future than the other race that fought us. (Applause) There is no self respecting Negro in this country who is prepared to surrender his rights, to join lands with the white fellow citizens and help run this Government as it ought to be run, therefore I believe that the Negro should participate in politics, but there is a kind of politics that I am here to discourage. My fellow men, some engage in that politics which consist in voting for a candidate simply in return for a few paltry dollars given you. This Negro voter is the kind that is politically corrupting and depriving you of your manhood and self respect. I want each one who is connected with my race, when he goes to the poll to vote for the candidate of his choice, to first examine the record of the candidate, then the principal platform of the party and intelligently make up his mind who he desires to vote for and then go to the poll and vote for the candidate of his choice without dollar or choice of whiskey or beer. (Applause) and if there be any candidate, I care not to which party they belong, who has the audacity to come to you and offer you a dollar or beer or whiskey in order to get your vote, I want you to have the manhood to go to the polls and help to defeat him. (Applause) No man is SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12 1904. fit to serve the people in the various offices of the Government who is engaged in the business of bribing men to vote for them at these elections and no man, be he black or white, who allows himself to be bought for whiskey or beer ought not to be allowed the privilege of voting. (Applause) Fourth of August Celebration. "The Best in Sixteen Years"—So Say Townsmen Who Know. COMMENDABLE, SAYS DAILY I do not come here today as a politician or as a partisan, but I do come with this much politics to tell you that whether you belong to one political party or another, you are a Negro and as you act, do it to the credit of the Negro and not to your discredit. If these men can succeed in buying you at the polls, they will take your votes and then they will go home and among themselves they will give it out that the Negro is not fit to be a citizen because his vote can be bought. Now if there be a single Negro here today who has accustomed himself to offer his vote, or give his vote in consideration of these things which I mention, I plead with him for the sake of his race, for the sake of this Government which we love, to change his practice and make up his mind when he goes to the polls, to vote for the candidate whom he has selected as worthy of his support. CENTRAL MISSOURI CONFERENCE. Sedalia District The church work in the West is doing nicely. HOLDEN—Rev. M. L. Jackson is pushing things to the front.

COMMENDABLE, SAYS DAILY WHITE PRESS. As advertised, the Fourth of August was greater than all it's predecessors. There were about 2000 people who witnessed the celebration, and a more orderly crowd of colored people have not been congregated elsewhere in the state. Old citizens, who know-who have been witnessed to every celebration in Sedalia, say it was the best they had seen in sixteen years. The(white) Daily Press of this city-noting the standard of the celebration are very liberal in commenting on it. This from the Democrat: "All of the regular trains brought in large delegations at reduced rates to day to the Emancipation Day celebration being held at Liberty park under the direction of W. H. Huston and H. G. Phillips. 'There were no excursion trains, but at I o'clock this afternoon Mr. Huston informed the Democrat that not less than 1000 strangers had arrived on the regular trains and by private conveyances to participate in the festivities of the afternoon and night. Prof. Inman E' Page, formerly president of the Oklahoma Normal and Industrial college at Langston, Okio., arrived this forenoon, and is the guest of the Rev. J. W. Jackson, D.D. Prof. Page will be the principal speaker of the day. The managers were greatly disappointed by the receipt of a letter to day from B.F. Allen, A.M., L.L.D., president of Lincoln institute, Jefferson City, saying he had received the invitation extended him to deliver an address here, on his return from Chicago, but he is physically unable to do so, and hence would have to decline. He has prepared an address, however, which will appear in the columns of Mr. Huston's paper. The Conservator, at an early date. Another disappointment to the management was the receipt of a telegram from Hon. Geo. H. White, the last negro congressman from North Carolina, but now practicing law at Washington, D. C., in which he said: "Letter just received. Missent, Too late to come. See letter." This from the Sentinel:— "Emancipation Day was generally observed in Sedalia today by the colored population and the program arranged by Messrs Phillips and Huston is being carried out, with but slight changes. On account of the illness of Professor B. F. Allen, of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, he was unable to be here, and ex-Congressman G. H. White, of South Carolina, who was to have been here, did not receive Mr. Phillips' letter in time to make the trip. The following telegram was received by Mr. Phillips yesterday, which is self-explanatory: Washington, D. C., Aug 3. H. G. Phillips: Letter just received. Missent. Too late to come. See letter. G. W. White. The managers of the day's festivities regretted greatly that Professor Allen and ex-Congressman White could not be here, but it was no fault of theirs, as they used every effort to carry out their plans. Aside from these slight changes the day's program program proceeded uninterrupted, and a large crowd is in attendance. The Queen City Cornet Band A. B. H. L. Billups, M. S. M. Acct. Accountant and Bursar, Wiley University. furnishing music for the oc casion." Prof. H. L. Billups Pr This from the Capital: "Messrs. Huston and Phillips, who managed the Fourth of August celebration here, are entitled to much credit and commendation for their enterprise. While crowds attending were not so large as former years have witnessed, there was none of that loudness that has characterized celebrations of the past. Professor Inman Page, who was for eighteen years president of Lincoln institute at Jefferson City, was the principal speaker of the day, and his address was listened to by the better part of the crowd assembled at Liberty park. The night program and the Scott Joplin musical was attended by many white people, and all pronounced the celebration complete and a marked departure fromer celebrations." And this from the Sedalia Times: "The Fourth of August celebration is over and the people are at their homes, but the people did not get to see what they expected. Most of the people were our good country people who had come for the purpose of hearing Excongressman White, Prof. Page and Prof. Allen, but to their surprise they only seen and heard Prof. Page, who made a great speech and lecture as he always does, but the other two orators were present by letter as were read by one of the managers. All in all the affair was a financial success, with plenty of good music and refreshments to satisfy the crowd, but with all of this it was far from being as advertised "Greater than all its Predecessors." Mr. Ike Martin, of Otterville, while in the city Sunday did a wise thing. He ordered the Conservator sent to him, in order that he might have all the news of intrests to himself and his race. Mlss Mary E. Jamison came up from St. Louis on the excursion, Sunday and went to Georgetown to spend the day with parents. And gave us a dollar for another year of the CONSLRNATOR's presence. Many thanks! Mrs. Scott Joplin, who has been confined to her bed with pneumonia, suffered a relapse recently, but is somewnat improvd at this date.

Jan. 10th. 1894 wholly absorbed in the varied but pleasant duties of College-office business and a proffessorship in Wiley University (my first alma mater) after considerable solicitation on the part of prominent men of our church and educational work; and not-with-standing, the scores and hundreds of students and friends Faculty and trustees of Wiley University, I came to Missouri to help foster the interests of Geo. R. Smith College, which I have loved and love so well. We reached Sedalia, Jan. 13th, 1894. It was a bright, bracing, beautiful, balmy morning. All nature seemed to smile and extend unstinted greetings to us, as workers in the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. We found the inhabitants white and colored of the city and state amicable, sociable, and unusually kind; extending to us a cordial, genuine, make-your-self-at-home welcome. This royal welcome has since the hour of College opening, Jan. 18th, 1894, perpetually grown with each succeeding year. This period (more than a decade) will form one of the brightest pages in my life's brief history. Both pupils and parents have been loving and loyal, for which we are profoundly thankful. In our work, the upbuilding of a race we have striven to be conscientious and faithful; diligently performing as best we could the duties devolved upon us. The interests shown, prayers sent to heaven and dollars given by you good people have ever been an inspiration to our students and abiding benediction to the Faculty. While we graciously accept the honored promotion, never-the-less we are sorry to bid you adieu. The ministry and members, city officials, professional and business men, press, pedagogs and people, particularly the highly honored Mesdames Smith and Cotton-all have shown us unnumbered courtesies. The citizens of Sedalia and this great Common wealth and contiguous territory by their hospitality and help have erected a monument in our bosom that time can not efface. In accepting our new position in Wiley University, one of the best Freedmen's Aid schools and biggest, for Colored people in the great state of Texas; we beg leave to assure you that we will ever carry with us pleasant memories of you and extend to you a hearty welcome to the biggest state in the Union.

MARGARET flung herself into the heart of the berry bed and drew in deep delicious breaths of the straw-berryed air. It was home! Home after months and months of the city. If things could have continued to run on comfortably she might not have cared to leave the city, but things couldn't. It wasn't Margaret who wanted one of the affairs to exclude the other. She drove behind Livingston's thorough-breds or plunged her nose into Graham's roses with equal content. It was the cultors. Margaret ruffled her brow and, for the hundredth time that day, asked herself which one of the equally charming, amusing fellows it must be. As though in derision a bird somewhere above her head crieed, "Which? Which?" "Oh, I don't know," she said out loud. And as she spoke, a tiny, gnared old woman thrust her calico-bonneted head over the fence and peered at the girl with shrewd, kindly eyes. "Don't ye now?" she asked anxiously. It was only the little old woman who lived at the foot of the hill in a house as small and gray and weather-beaten as herself. Margaret did not answer her questioner; instead she looked at the sun. "Gittin' on towards the shank o' the evening' now, ain't hit?" "Yes," said Margaret, with much dignity. She had learned from past experiences that expansiveness wouldn't do in addressing a mountainer, that is if you yearned for solitude. Mar- A girl is lying on a bed in a garden. She is wearing a white dress and has a red headband. She is surrounded by flowers and a fence. There is a house in the background. FLUNG HERSELF INTO THE HEART OF THE BERRY BED paret wanted to be let alone. She could decide it in five minutes if alone. Of course she was glad to see them, the dear, simple, kindly creatures, but all day long, to use their own expression, she had been "howdy-dong" them. And back in the city were two impatient young fellows who had each been promised a telegram that was definite would be sent them before the sun dropped to bed behind the big hills. Margaret had told herself that she could answer definitely, that she would know the instant she got among her friendly mountains and away from the hurry of life. "If ye ain't shore, tain't the right 'un," came from the depth of the sun-bonnet. "When the right 'un comes hit pears like two big hands git on yer shoulders an' shove to him." "Who said it had a man in it?" un-graciously. The telegrams had to go, and time counted for something—with everybody, that is, but an old mountaineer, who moved with a hitch in her gait. "Who said hit?" chuckling. "When the paintin' teacher over thar," with a sweep of her lean arm that took in the universe and the village school, "gits restless like and paints furious, thar's a man at the bottom o' her industry, when the gal tet scrubs her floor gits restless an' scrubs furious, thar's a man at the bottom o' her industry. Honey, I ben a gal myself. Maybe now," persuasively. "I could help ye in this difficulty." The girl did not mean to, but she did tell, even to the names of the city men, and laughed a little in the telling, such curious, kindly folks, the mountaineers. "I misrust them city chaps," said the voice, almost lost in the sunbonnet. "How'd a big, strong fellar out o' those mountains suit ye? Well, jees not eggzactly out o' 'em, but adopted like. The settlement lowed after ye left—" "Yes, yes," impatiently. The girl's glance swept hills and valleys to rest on the church spire that lifted its symbolism against the sky's blue. And suddenly the winter back in the city had been a little teacup existence, made up of little men, forever content to dawdle through drawing rooms and drink ten; of little women who smiled as they stabbed at each other; of smartness and gaiety and emptiness. "The settlement ain't no Bible," with a shrewd glance at the averted face. "Hit's liable ter be suddint. Reckon ye heerd o' the preacher's work the night the French Broad run in on the folks at the bend, hongyfer 'em as a wolf?" With a sudden flame in them, the girl's eyes turned towards the sunbonnet. "Reckin ye heerd o' las' Sunday? The settlement war a holdin' onto hits breath. I low we can't keep him allus. That ain't the fust call he's got ter furriin parts. He Jes' looked gran' honey, an' his eyes blazed. Ole Mis Kuyndallend's shidutin' couldnt drown him. But I must git on. Reckin ye know'd Florida Higgins war home agit? Jes' a pink-faced doil, honey. But men air needy creeturs, an' powerful easy fooled. I low now, ridin' about so much with her in her new buggy, an' the settlement lows—Law, honey, ye look tuckered out! A ole woman that talks too much 'll Jes be a-hobblin' on." Margaret had solitude at last. She ate a strawberry and found it insipid. It had rained too much. It always rains too much in big, desolate rattlesnake mountains. A half hour later she turned in the direction of the village. She was going to send the telegrams. One of them, it didn't much matter which would hold but one word, a word phobic of joy or sorrow. At the foot of the hill she stopped on the bridge; but she wasn't thinking of telegrams. She was praying that a mountain peak might topple over on him and save him from Florida Higgins. The whirl of reckless wheels fell on her ears. A horse came round the hill's curve, running. The holding back strap had broken and crazed him with tegror. He ran in short, affrighteed leaps that rocked the buggy omniously. As Margaret dashed across the bridge to safety she saw that the buggy's one occupant. Florida Higgins was crouched in the bottom of the vehicle in a terrified little heap, her hands clinging to the dashboard. She saw, too, the tree that divided the road narrowly above the bridge. If the horse swerved too much trying to escape the tree, he would plunge down the bank and into the water, gleaming 20 feet below the roadbed. For one sickening moment the girl hesitated, the next her strong young fingers caught the bit just under the foaming mouth and she was jerked by the rearing horse into unending space. Jerked and lifted and let down, lifted and let down and jerked, and shaken and whirled in what seemed to her failing senses to be a monster churn that meant to crush the life out of her. And then she slipped down, down, with the gurgle of running waters in her ears, down—and into utter darkness. The house into which Margaret was carried was little and low and old, like its owner, who had looked over her garden fence an hour before. In an incredibly short time the house was filled with moving, useless people. It was the preacher who tumbled them out unceremoniously, and towered, big and powerful, over the doctor who thought it might end in coma. The preacher bent over the motionless figure and called softly. "It's no use," the doctor said. "She's going to live," he said, doggedly. And he forced brandy through her lips. A half hour passed. The room was still, except for the man's calling, just over his breath. "It's no use," the doctor said again. "She's going to live," the preacher shouted. An... again he called, called and called and called, loud and loud and louder, until the clarion ring of his voice pierced through the mists that held her quiet figure in the borderland that divides. For one deliciously irresponsible moment of consciousness Margaret lay listening, so still was the room, to the little clicking catch in the preacher's watch as it hurried the seconds away. Then she opened her eyes full on the lean, powerful young figure that bent over her. "Florida?" she asked faintly. "Ain't scratched," said the doctor gruffly. "I'm glad,' she whispered, and turned her eyes to where the sun, red and glorious, was dropping down the sky. The hills were faint and far off; the valleys brimmed with mist. As fast as the hitch in her wank would allow the little old woman crossed the room. She dropped beside the girl's bed and cried, the tears running down her cheeks: "Hit war a lie! He ain't never rid in her buggy ter my knowledge. Hit war tole that good might come o' hit, the lord the Lord's whipped me. He don't want lies." Margaret's hand went out to rest on the bowed head, her eyes sought the preacher's a sudden light in them. "I thought ye war dead," the old voice wailed. "I know'd ye'd not rest easylike an' them telegrams not sent. I sont 'em with butter money. I remembered the fellars' names. I sed: 'She war too good fer ye, an' the Lord tuk her.' Maybe now," gulping and swallowing and sobbing, "I'd better go back an' say hit's the Lord's carvant." The sun went down in a gulf of glory. Margaret watched it out of sight behind the far, far hills, her cheek cradled in the minister's big brown palm. Thirty-one thousand, three hundred and eighty-three homestead entries were made in the northwest provinces of Canada in 1903: 64,000 homestead entries have been received in the northwest in the last three years, equal to 10,000,000 acres. The entries for 1903 were double the number of 1902 and as many as for three years previous. These 31,383 homestead entries mean an addition of 89,907 to the population. If the Russians honestly found flasks of brandy on the dead Japs at Vafangow, they should file orders for some of the same brand. HOUSEHOLD WHEN IS A BABY NORMAL? Medical Expert Tells How a Mother Can Answer the Question Beyond a Doubt. When a person first becomes a parent he or she watches the little newborn creature with the most intense anxiety. The fear sometimes haunts the parent that perhaps the babe is not mentally perfect. The father tries to solve the problem, but his mind has nothing to hold to, nothing to guide it to a conclusion. A few glances may tell that the baby's body has all the outward evidences of being normal, but the parents' endeavors to understand the slowly-awakening mind prove futile. "How much greater would be my joy," a mother often says to herself. "If I knew that my baby's brain is as it should be." According to some experts, however, this suspense is needless. They declare that the mind of a baby is normal if the child is able to do certain things at certain ages. It is only when the baby acts differently that fear may well seize the mother's heart, a fear that her babe may be foolish, that only its animal nature will grow, while the mind remains dwarfed, sluggish, in a sort of continual twilight. According to specialists, the mental symptoms of the baby may even be reduced to a catalogue. "A normal child," says Dr. Louise Elske Bryson, in the Medical Critic. "is sensitive to light when a day or two old, starts when gently touched at the third day, tastes at the end of the first week, and strong odors cause contortions during the first hours of life. Food, bath, objects about him, please him during the first month; tears overtake the baby when three weeks old, and smiles come shortly after. Music charms during the second month; then consonants are used for the first time; tickling causes laughter, and objects can be clasped with four fingers. At four months the baby begins to imitate; sits up at the sixth month; stands without A support at the ninth month and walks at the age of 15 months. "At this period he also laughs, smiles, gives a kiss, repeats syllables and understands a number of words. From the twentieth to the twenty-fourth month he executes orders on command, tries to sing, beat time and dance to music. At the age of three the child walks upstairs unaided and speaks distinctly. He begins to ask questions. "The sub-normal child has not developed in this way. He is different,' say the parents. That sums up the whole situation—he is different from normal." According to available statistics, says Dr. Bryson, there are two feeble-minded persons to every thousand inhabitants, and to every 500 there are five or six children not capable of being educated by the ordinary methods of instruction. Feeble-minded children, she adus, are generally fond of music, "can often sing, even when unable to talk, can play on some musical instrument alone or with others." For such she recommends special physical exercises, which tend to awaken the creative faculties of the mind. The symptoms of the sub-normal mind cannot be classified, from the very nature of things, as are the actions of a normal child. "What constitutes a backward, or deficient, child?" asks Dr. Bryson. "How can you tell one when you see one? Not in an offhand way; yet there is something that stamps the child as different from his fellows. The lack of command over himself suggests illness to the inexperienced. Some, perhaps many, of the stigmatia of degeneration may be present, physical signs of imperfection, that lead the observer to infer the quality of the individual. The roof of the mouth may be high and narrow, the teeth irregular and mishapen, the lobe of the ear attached to the side of the head, the arms too long in proportion to bodily height, or the hands and feet may show abnormalities of structure. "At the same time, it must be remembered that it is not how a child looks that classifies him, but what he does, what he is, what he loves and seeks." Hymn on a Grain of Corn. An engraver of Odessa has engraved the entire Russian national hymn upon a grain of corn, and recently he presented the curiosity to the czar. His majesty has now forwarded to the man, through the civil governor of Odessa, a gold watel, and chain, with his thanks for carrying out such a laborious undertaking. This Article Tells You Just What Is to Be Done Befores the Surgeon Arrives. There are a few things which should be in every house where any persons are in any way liable to injury. Chief among these are one or more bottles of some antiseptic solution, and bandages ready for use. Sometimes the simplest precautions before the arrival of the doctor will save a limb or hand or perhaps life, and aid the physician to an untold extent. Orange Judd Farmer says that bandages may be made from an old sheet, bleached cloth being preferred. First, it should be clean. Taking the whole length of the sheet, usually at least two yards, tear it into strips of the following widths: one inch, one and one-half, two, two and one-half, three and four inches, having two or three of each. The narrow bandages are most useful, and it is well to make several of these. Now make a tight roll of each strip, or put two of the same width in one roll. Put them aside in a box out of the dust. You will be surprised how many service-roller bandages can be made from an old sheet. They may also be boiled, washed and ironed out for use PUTTING ON A BANDAGE. after being soiled. Have also some absorbent cotton and a few pieces of cloth about 12 inches square. An antiseptic is a solution which kills germs, and germs are the cause of a large part of the doctor's trouble. Probably the best all 'round antiseptic is carbolic acid. Get the strong carbolic and use a teaspoonful of this in a quart of warm water. This is a safe strength for any part of the body except the eye. If by accident any of the strong acid is spilled on the hand, put pure alcohol on the place at once. This neutralizes the action of the acid. Another safe and clean antiseptic is creoline. This is a dark liquid with a tarry odor. A tablespoonful in a quart of warm water makes a milky solution, which is excellent for cleansing wounds. An antiseptic wash for the eye may be made by dissolving boracic acid, a white powder, in warm water. Even a strong solution of this is not harmful. No matter how small a cut or bruise may be, it is always best to thoroughly cleanse and bandage it. Many a limb and many a life has been sacrificed to the most innocent-looking little wounds. To dress an ordinary small wound, proceed as follows: Make up a solution of carboic acid or creolin, a teaspoonful to a quart of warm water, and using some absorbent cotton, wash the wound thoroughly with the antiseptic, taking care that it penetrates every part, and that all dirt is washed out, if it be a hand or finger, the part may be soaked in the solution for a few minutes. This will often stop most of the bleeding. Soak a piece of the clean cloth in the solution, squeeze it fairly dry and wrap it around the injured part, using three or four layers. Select a bandage of suitable width and apply it neatly, using plenty to cover. Fasten the bandage by sewing or pinning with a safety pin, or, when sufficient is wound on, roll off a few inches more, rip it down the middle, cross the two ends so made, and use them as strings to tie on the bandage. If there is much bleeding, it may be necessary to put on some dry absorbent cotton over the moist cloth, applying the bandage over all. The next day the wound may be dressed by simply washing and wrapping with dry bandage only. HIGH ART IN GARNISHING. Any well-cooked dish, however plain, can be made truly epicurean by the garnish applied. Often, too, exactly the right dressing will be found under the hand, if the housekeeper has sufficient judgment to recognize its possibilities. For a dish of lobster salad there are lobster claws, lobster coral, cress, and, for all salads, radishes and beetle cut into flowers, curled celery and celery tips, spirals of olives, and fancy shaped wafers. Aspic jelly molded in fancy forms or cut in squares is used on cold meats with mounds of jelly, wreaths of parsley and of cress, shredded lettuce, lemons cut as flowers or as plums, cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs cut in fauciful shapes, etc. Fish is set off with strips of fried potatoes forming a nest, slices of lemon, cucumbers parsley, olives, green peppers or cress. Tomatoes make a piquant addition in the case of salads and meats. For sweets there are many trimmings—for example, candied and maraschino cherries, candied fruits, currants, raisins, ginger and bonbons. White grapes or slices of orange or pineapple, dipped in white of egg and powdered sugar are pretty for gelatins, rice or farina. Brown, Flaky Crust for Pies To give a pie beautifully brown faky appearance, when the pie ready to bake, put about one and half tablespoonfuls of sweet milk on cream on the top and spread it over all the surface. No more white crust if this is done Didn't Get Tired Like the Others Because He Took Frequent Rests. The late Clement Scott, the English dramatist critic, took a profound interest in the American Indian. He had at his tongue's tip a hundred incidents wherewith to illustrate odd phases of the Indian's character, relates an exchange. "As a rule," he once said, "we regard the Indian as a straightforward frank, blunt fellow. We don't associate with him any idea of wiles, or craft, or subtle humor. As a matter of fact, though, the American Indian is very often full of mean tricks and jokes. "There was a farmer in the west one summer who was hard put to p for help upon his farm. Indians were plentiful in the neighborhood, but they were poor workmen. Always tired they would put down the hoe or the rake as soon as the master's back was turned, and, selecting a cool spot, they would lie down on the grass and sleep the day away. "But one morning a very tall, robust Indian asked the farmer to give him work. "'No,' said the white man, 'You will get tired. You Indians are always getting tired.' "'Oh, no,' said the other, 'This Injun never get tired. This Injun not like the rest.' "'Well, I'll try you,' said the farmer, and he engaged the man. He put him to work in a wheat field; then he went away for an hour or two. When he returned he found the Indian asleep under a tree. "'Here, wake up, here,' he cried. 'You told me you never got tired.' "'Ugh,' said the other, yawning 'this Injun don't. But if he not lie down often he would get tired, just the same as the rest.'" THE POLICEMEN OF JAPAN Are Recruited From Among the Samu- ral and Are Aboves Cor- A Japanese policeman soldom has much trouble in making an arrest. He is invested with all the majesty of the law, and to the Japanese law is supreme, says the Family Herald. It seems very peculiar to see him holding a solemn court in the street to settle some dispute between the inhabitants. The surrounding crowd shows no disposition to ridicule and banter. With the utmost gravity he examines the parties interested, notes down the information given and finally pronounces his decision, which is generally obeyed without question. This absolutism strikes the foreigner all the more because the policemen are usually youthful in appearance and small in figure. Five feet two is the standard height and 21 the minimum age for entrance into the force. Every policeman receives minute instructions as to his deportment, the position of his hands, when standing, when sitting, etc., and the length of his hair, which must not be more than two inches in front nor seven-tenths of an inch on the neck. The police are for the most part recruited from the old Samurai, and they appear to carry out the code of honor handed down to them from generation to generation. They are an intelligent, determined and courageous set of men, well disciplined, and said to be above corruption. INDIAN GAME-HEN'S EGGS They Always Bring Big Prices Because of Pureness of Blood and Pedigree. Not often does the price of a single egg climb to $100, but this is what was offered for each of the eggs of a certain Indian game-ben, which was brought to England some time ago, says Country Life in America. For centuries, the Indian game, or Azeel fowls, have been the very apex of the game-breed, for the pureness of blood and pedigree have been most carefully preserved for so long that the date of the origin of the race has been lost in the past. It is almost impossible to procure specimens of the purest blood, for they are treasured by the Indian sportsmen at the highest value, and the best fowls are not allowed to go out of their native country. As game-fowls, they are great fighters. Those who have seen them in India—for the finest birds never reach our colder climates—tell of their prowess and ungoverable tenacity in battle. With them, it is always victory or death. In America, however, the game-fowls are seldom raised for fighting purposes, but for show, and as pets and hobbies of poultry fanciers.

I suffered the most severe backache and other pains in the region of the kidneys. Ohio, says: "I was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills of a severe case of kidney trouble, of eight or ten years standing. I suffered the most severe backache and other pains in the region of the kidneys. These were especially severe when stooping to lift anything and often I could hardly straighten my back. The aching was bad in the day time, but just as bad at night, and I was always alone in the morning. I was bothered with rheumatic pains and dropsical swelling of the feet. The urinary passages were painful and the secretions were discolored and so free that often I had to rise at night. I felt tired all day. Half a box served to relieve me, and three boxes effected a permanent cure." A TRIAL FREE-Address Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. FOR SAFETY OF TRAVELERS Device of Berlin Underground Electric Railway to Render Third Rail Harmless. The Berlin elevated and underground electric railway has installed in the driver's compartment a short circuiting switch, so that the current passing along the third rail may be earthed and the fuses blown at the power station, thus rendering the section dead. An alternative means of short circuiting is afforded by a portable bar which is provided with insulating brushes of some length, and which can be placed by the driver across the third and return rails. These devices are intended only for use in the tunnel sections of the railway if it should be necessary for passengers to alight from a train and proceed to the next station, or to the escape shafts which are being formed between the stations. The tunnels are now lighted from two independent circuits at intervals of 52 feet, and fire extinguishers are located in them at intervals of 325 feet. The hydrants and sand boxes at the stations have been doubled, and each station is directly connected with the fire brigade by means of an alarm wire. In addition to these arrangements the carriages are equipped with portable sand boxes and with other fire extinguishing appliances using water.

OLD FASHIONED It is an ever new and interesting story to hear how one can be entirely made over by change of food. "For two years I was troubled with what my physician said was the old fashioned dyspepsia. "There was nothing I could eat but 20 or 30 minutes later I would be spitting my food up in quantities until I would be very faint and weak. This went on from day to day until I was terribly wasted away and without any prospects of being helped. "One day I was advised by an old lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream, leaving off all fatty food. I had no confidence that Grape-Nuts would do all she said for me, as I had tried so many things without any help. But it was so simple I thought I would give it a trial, she insisted so. "Well, I ate some for breakfast and pretty soon the lady called to see her 'patient,' as she called me, and asked if I had tried her advice. "Glad you did, child, do you feel some better?" "No.' I said. 'I do not know as I do, the only difference I can see is I have no sour stomach, and come to think of it, I haven't spit up your four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet." "Nor did I have any trouble with Grape-Nuts then or any other time, for this food always stays down and my stomach digests it perfectly; I soon got strong and well again and bless that old lady every time I see her. "Once an invalid of 98 pounds I now weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and well, and it is due enlirely and only to having found the proper food in Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co.

McCaffrey was compelled to stand up to keep the log from turning, and with a pike pole 20 feet long guided his unique craft. Voice Lost and Found. Eighteen months ago Mrs. Joseph Riley, wife of a farmer near Clark, entirely lost her voice. The other day a thunderstorm came on while she was feeding poultry.

The old lady reached for her Bible, and turned to this commandment: "Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee." She said that from the time she was a school girl she obeyed that commandment and that she regarded her long life as her reward. The Missouri Retail Grocers' association, in session at St. Louis, passed resolutions instructing the legislative committee to endeavor to secure laws bearing on pure foods, to enable the creditor who sues on a bad account to at once garrishee the wages of the debtor instead of waiting ten days, as now, and to put a stop to the practice of certain packers and wholesalers of putting out goods short.

Harold Johnson, aged 12, was drowned while swimming in the pool at the public bath in Kansas City. Joplin Votes Light Bonds. Joplin has voted bonds to construct a municipal electric light plant. Since Secretary Shaw has decided that Canadian frogs' legs imported to the United States must be classed as poultry and made to pay duty, the children of the French-Canadian mill operatives have been earning money rapidly by going out evenings and spearing the fat bullfrogs which sit among the illy pads on Portage lake, says a Portage (Me.) report. The equipment for hunting is simple. A boy and a girl, or two boys, take a small dory, or punt, and placing a lantern with a reflector attachment in the bow, paddle to the shoal water at the foot of the lake. Then one goes forward with a spear fastened to a short and buoyant stick to strike at the frogs, while the other sits on the after atwart and propels the craft as directed. It requires sharp eyes to detect a green frog sitting upon a green illy leaf, but as the intense light dazzles the frogs, they may be approached within short range, when the spearman impales the victim on the iron prong and pulls it on board. In case the spear misses the light wood of the handle prevents it from sinking, so it can be recovered without delay. The frogs are taken home and skinned, after a manner learned in Montreal markets, and then the hind legs are removed, and having been washed in salted water, the meat is packed in tight barrels between alternate layers of cool and clean phagnum moss, which is very long and so light that it prevents the tender lege from bruising during the long journey by rail to Boston. The children receive about ten cents a pound clear of all expenses for the legs which they may ship. As they have nothing else to do in the evenings, the income derived from the business seems a very large one, and the outlook for a great Fourth of July celebration among the young folks at Portage is very bright. BARBER AND HIS RIVAL. Knight of the Razor Had an Ingenious Scheme for Checking Competition. Chaikley Leeds, the first mayor of Atlantic City, related at Atlantic City's fiftieth anniversary some interesting reminiscences of the town's early life, says the New York Tribune. "I call to mind," he said, "two rival barbers. They have been dead a long time now. They had shops opposite one another in Atlantic avenue, and the competition between them was brisk and bitter. "Smith, the younger barber, always had his hair cut and dressed in the most graceful and correct manner, and he was always shaved beautifully. Brown, on the other hand, would be shaved badly, with a cut on his chin and a patch of overlooked beard on his check, and his hair would be cut in steps, as though a child had done it. "Smith couldn't understand why his rival displayed on his own person such poor examples of barbering, and he sent a friend to Brown's one day as a detective. "The detective got shaved. During the process he said: "How is it, Mr. Brown, when you are yourself a barber, that your hair is always badly cut and your face hacked up from the razor" "Why,' said Brown, 'the explanation is simple enough. I can't cut my own hair, and I get my rival across the street to do it, and he shaves me, too. You see the result." Safe on the Cinder-Path There are parts of Kentucky where some of the mountaineers have never seen a locomotive. One of these mountaineers who drifted into civilization encountered a railroad train and took to flight down the track. The engineer stopped the train and captured what he supposed was a crazy man. Finding him sane, though breathless, the engineer in anger asked him why he did not get off the track. "Get off the track!" roared the mountaineer. "If I'd ever took to plowed land the thing would have caught me for sure." →Indianapolis Sta THE GENERAL MARKETS. OMISSION TO BE RECTIFIED. Prince Hohenlohe, during his recent visit to New York, commended the wines of America. He praised especially the California red wines, which seemed, he said, to be exceedingly pure, relates the Cincinnati Enquirer. Then, apropos of wine's purity, the prince narrated a recent happening in Berlin. A Berlin vintner, he said, "was accused of selling a wine made of chemicals. He was brought to court, found guilty, and fined." "After he had paid his fine, he approached the chemist whose testimony had convicted him. How you know?" he said, curiously, "that my wine was manufactured." "Because it contained no bitrate of potash, said the chemist. "In natural wines bitrate of potash is always found." "Thanks, said the vintner, in a tone of relief," "It will be found in my wines here after." Still More Evidence Bay City, Ill., August S (Special)—Mr. K. F.

BURTON Immigration Art, Beauland Building, Kansas City, M. A SUCCESSFUL SALESMAN. Sold Sea Water and When Tide Went Out Purchaser Thought Him · a Wonder. The late Thomas Brackett Reed used to relate the following incident which happened one summer while he was spending a few days in a small fishing village on the New England coast, says the New York Times. A young countryman who had been advantage to take sea bats registered at the village hotel one evening, and shortly afterward sauntered down to the beach. Esaping a grizzled old fisherman mending his nets beneath a sign which informed one that B—had boats and tackle to let and bait for sale, he accosted the veteran and asked him if the water was not for sale. He was not, and the countryman returned to the hotel, obtained a couple of buckets, and having paid the price asked, filled them and returned to his room to carry out the doctor's instructions. On the following morning he happened down at the beach when the tide was out, and contemplating his next task, he beached for a few minutes, approached his acquaintance of the evening before and remarked in a tone of admiration: "Gosh! but you must have done some business last night." Explained His Assertion. By the use of the saline solution the Cheerful Idiot, who had been punched in the jaw for a previous offense, was revived.

BEGGS' BLOOD PURIFIER CURES catarrh of the stomach. --- [Stamp] HON. M. C. BUTLER Ex-United States Senator From South Carolina. EX-U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter from Washington, D. C., she says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."—M. C. Butler. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh of the stomach. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

We regret very much that the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education Society has seen fit to change our beloved yellow townsman Prof H. L. Billups, from Geo. R. Smith College to Wiley University. His stay, during the past decade has been attended by helpful efforts along all lines that tend toward the uplift of our race. Tho, severely grieved to lose our esteemed citizen, yet we are happy to note that his call from us is not a call to a lower or more humble position but rather a call to a position of higher honor, greater trust and a broader opportunity of usefulness. With him shall go, our prayers for his success; with us, his pupils and friends, shall ever re main, the sweet memory of having known and cultivated the friendship of a so highly cultured christian gentleman. His departure will be no greater felt than that of his accomplished wife. Her wit, vivacity, intelligence and cordiality will be missed from our social circles; while her activity and zeal for the good of the church will not be easily supplied by another. AGAIN, Miss Effie Crump hands us an ably prepared copy of an Ode, The Fourth of August, 1904. Each of her efforts give abundant evidence of her poetic genius. We are proud of her as one of our most promising young women. If a man forms different ideas, concerning a given proposition, to that held by his associates, should he insult their sense of propriety by abusing them for their divergent opinion? The recent Republican Convention committed but one great blunder, that was, its failure to nominate one of the ablest and most powerful men in the whole commonwealth for governor. Of the Hon. John H. Bothwell we speak. It pleases us, however, to learn that the state committee has a better conception of his vote winning capacity than the delegated convention. Hence, they have selected him as one of the leaders of the present campaign. Happy are we to hail our New Vice Chairman, John H. Bothwell, Sedalia's most illustrious son. PETTIS County Republicans should begin at once to plan to sweep the county. Their ticket is composed of clean energetic business men. If no better, they are as good as their democratic opponents. But we are persuaded that they are better because they are republicans, hence, we shall exert our energies to land every one in office. This can be accomplished. It must be done. A concentration of action, the elimination of petty factional fights and arousement of genuine republican enthusiasm will do the work. Let us begin at once to marshall our cohorts, curb our selfish animosities and to create campaign te.vor. NEGROES should act now from the promptings of common sense and reason. Acting thus in all things will do more toward the making of them than all else. We must cease allowing ourselves to be swayed by prejudice and rely more upon reasonable presumptions. When we act and speak as sensible men, we command the respect not only of those who concur with us in our convictions but also those, who differ from us. If a man be honest in business, is it not as honorable for him to be honest in his political beliefs? PRESIDENT Inman E. Page, of the Industrial and Normal College, located at Langston, Okla., was at his best on the Fourth. By a careful perusal of his speech, extracts of which, will be found elsewhere in this edition, any one can see that he is a man divinely endowed with those elements of character that constitutes the true and fearless leader. His great breadth of common sense causes him to be a man far above the average. Which is better, to speak hastily and then be forced to recan't or hesitate to speak, but when you do speak, to stand by your declarations? CARD OF THANKS I desire to thank my many friends who so kindly assisted in the sickness and death of my deceased son Albert. Mrs. Lizzie Nelson. NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS We regret that owing to the publishing of Pres. Page's address and other Fourth of August matter, has necessitated our leaving out all correspondence this issue. Next week however we shall be glad to give to each their allotted space. Constantly yours, Huston and English, Pub. HERN BURT NUPTIALS Married at Kansas City, Mo. on Aug., 3rd at 7:30 P. M.

Miss Effie Crump in our city. --- DEPARTMENTS— ```markdown ``` FOURTH of AUGUST ODE The sun streams down in floods of glory, And every heart seemed gay, Sincerely, we met as a consistory, And quietly engaged the day. A noble man came to us from abroad, And in knowledge and wisdom did rage. In honor he came; in dignity he stood, In the person of Inman E. Page. This heroic man, knowing the needs of his race; which impends. Has made his own life a sacrifice. That the younger may more free He spoke of the struggles of his faithful race; In the past, of their frictions and cries. How they were plunged to the bottom-most depths of disgrace, Where it was thought, they could never more rise. It is to his race, he has devoted his life, That its betterment may increase, That they may rise from the lonely pits of strife, To where all is pervading peace. I would to God that more of us would our lives engage. To impel our race, not impede or immesh. immesh, But follow., Hon. Inman E. Page. When I gazed in the face of this warrior bold, I saw where Time her finger had lain. I shrank from the thought of growing old Yet, I would not be young again.
