DR. BROOKS GIVEN BIG RECEPTION Church Artistically Decorated. High Tribute Paid the Author by Dr. Parrish, Prof. Williams, Bishop Parks and Others. Musical Program Enlivens Affair. Church Auditorium Crowded. The reception tendered Dr. W. Sampson Brooks; Friday, April 23, by the officers and members of St. Paul, to celebrate the review of his new book, "Footprints of a Black Man in the Holy Land," will go down in the annals of history, as one of the most brilliant and unique social events of the church. The church auditorium had been artistically decorated by a profusion of sweet peas, silmilax and ferns, gaily festooning the altar railing and gracefully entwining the chandeliers and pulpit, adding the holiday air and spirit of festivity so manifest throughout the evening. No less beautiful was the lecture room, which deft and artistic fingers had transformed into a veritable bower of beauty and fairy splendor. Graceful streamers and beautiful flowers made a canopy for a table ample in proportion, with a handsome centerpiece of cluny lace as a cover. A color scheme of pink and green was carried out throughout the decorations, effectively emphasized in the beautiful flowers, ferns and shaded candles adorning the table. The church auxiliaries and honoree of the occasion with distinguished guests from a distance entered the auditorium in a processional, led by the Reception Committee and a beautiful bevy of young ladies. The church was almost filled to its utmost capacity at the beginning of the program, and this appreciative throng was constantly supplemented as the program proceeded and the evening waxed old. The program was as follows: Music St. Paul choir, invocation by Dr. J. D. Barksdale, remarks by Bishop H. B. Parks, biographical sketch, Mrs. Sophia J. Smith, and review of the book by Prof. Frank L. Williams. Prof. Williams was especially happy and eloquent in his review, and alluded to the occasion as one which called one from the lower, carnal element to the worship of the better self, the higher, spiritual being or rather the worship of the soul. He dwelt at length upon the merit and attractiveness of the book and felicitated the author upon his activity, enterprise and literary achievements, and commended the book to the public as the production of a fellow-townsman, able pastor and pulpiteer, and unique in being the first achievement of a St. Louis preacher, so honored and heralded. Prof. Williams made his remarks brief to introduce Dr. C. H. Parrish, of Louisville, Ky., the moderator of ninety thousand Kentucky Baptists, and the traveling companion of Dr. Brooks in the Holy Land. Dr. Parrish paid a glowing tribute to Dr. Brooks, saying that his presence attested his love and friendship for the honoree of the occasion, as he had cancelled important engagements at home, to be present.

The Patrons' Association Concert is Tuesday, May 4, at the Baptist Church The St. Louis Argus He paid a tribute to Methodist progressiveness and "go aheadiveness"—as he termed it in a Methodist procession and the cohort of a Methodist bishop. Dr. Parrish entertained the audience by his wit and repartes and also by his discussed race progress and achievement. He paid also a handsome tribute to Prof. Frank Williams, who had been closely allied with him in Louisville, before being called to St. Louis. Dr. Brooks responded to the numerous encomiums pronounced upon him with becoming modesty and display of emotion as he declared his work and accomplishments had been magnified and that he should always treasure in his heart the kindness and appreciation displayed by the people of St. Louis to him and Mrs. Brooks. He presented, on behalf of the Sumner High School, a de luxe edition of his book to Dr. Parrish as an expression of their admiration for him and a souvenir of the evening. Dr. Parrish responded gracefully and said his family would treasure it and he would take it to the Louisville High School where it should set a standard and prove an inspiration. The program was interspersed with music which contributed, much to the enjoyment of the evening. The vocal solos by Misses Olivette Smith and Eva Jackson were well received and heartily encored. The Sumner High - Glee Club sang with characteristic melody and vim and responded to many encores. The altar and chancel were filled by brother pastors and colleagues of Dr. Brooks, among whom were: Dr. B. F. Abbott, pastor of Union Memorial M. E. Church; the Rev. Father Mason, rector of All Saints' Episcopal Church; Rev. G. B. Shaw, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church; Rev. J. A. Shields, pastor Northern Baptist Church; Rev. A. A.

Punch and icees were freely dispensed and the merry din of voices, combined with the echo of congratulations to the pastor, brought to a terminus a magnificent reception and splendid ovation.

Carter, Pastor: SUES FOR $10,000 GETS ONE CENT Argus Wins Victory in Damage Suit of Mosby Against Publishing Co., and Two Lawyers. Prominent Citizens Take Interest in Trial. Negro Attorneys Make Eloquent Pleas. After a trial which consumed most of last week, a jury in Division No. 4 of the Circuit Court, over which Judge Leo. S. Rassieur-presides, returned a verdict in which Benjamin H. Mosby, 'teacher of history in Sumner High School, was awarded one cent damages. The suit was for libel and grew out of the publication of an article in the St. Louis Argus fast September which purported to give an account of a hearing before the school board of the city of St. against the plaintiff. On the count of last week, a jury in Division No. 4 of the Circuit Court, over which Judge Leo. S. Rassieur-presides, returned a verdict in which Benjamin H. Mosby, 'teacher of history in Sumner High School, was awarded one cent damages. The suit was for libel and grew out of the publication of an article in the St. Louis Argus fast September which purported to give an account of a hearing before the school board of the city of St. ATTY. GEO L. VAUGHN ONE OF THE DEFENDANTS Louis on charges preferred against Mosby, George C. Poage and Gerald Tyler, teachers in the public schools, The defendants were the St. Louis Argus, J. E. Mitchell, Herbert T. Meadows, Homer G. Phillips and Geo. L. Vaughn, the latter two being attorneys. The plaintiff asked for $5,000 actual and $5,000 punitive damages. The amount represented by the verdict is one one-millionth part of the amount sued for. Mosby was represented by Ex-Lieutenant Gov Chas. P. Johnson, and attorneys Young and Morrow. The defendants were represented by attorneys Jesse L. England, Homer G. Phillips and Geo. L. Vaughn. The case attracted wide-spread attention because of the issues involved, and large crowds were in attendance each day of the trial. The verdict is what is known as a "split verdict," the jury finding for and THE NEW YORK TIMES J. PROF. WILLIAM PICKENS We are presenting, herewith, a good likeness of Mr. William Pickens, the brilliant orator who is to speak at Central Baptist Church, May 7, at 8 p. m., under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. The subject of the address will be "Fifty Years of Emancipation," and GRAND STUDENT RECITAL Mme. Frances E.

On the count for punitive or exemplary damages, the jury found against Mosby but on the count for actual damage sustained to his reputation and for the embarrassment and loss consequent thereto, the jury found for him and awarded him the sum of one cent. A demurrer to the evidence was sustained as to the defendant Meadows and the jury was instructed to return a verdict in his favor on all counts of the petition but the plaintiff's attorneys were permitted to dismiss the case against Meadows and it was taken from the consideration of the jury so far as he was concerned. The trial of this case will long be remembered in this city. Many of St. Louis's most prominent Negro citizens were called as witnesses as well as members of the school board. The handling of the case was very skillful, and the addresses of the attorneys for the defense were masterpieces of eloquence and logic. According to the opinion of those in attendance, and attaches of the court, Messrs. Phillips and Vaughn talked "rings" around Gov. Johnson and his associates, and the whole city is ringing with their praises. The verdict is a moral victory for the Argus and forces which have been trying to bring about better conditions at Sumner High School. The evidence proved that the defendants had no malice in publishing the article, but only desired to show the real condition that existed in the Sumner High School. PAYS ONE-CENT VERDICT L. A. Knox, of Kansas City, Mo., Grand Attorney Knights of Pythias, spent a few days in our city this week looking after some legal work in connection with his office in the Knights of Pythias. He was a pleasant caller at the Argus office Saturday and upon being apprised of the fact that a verdict of one cent had been awarded B. H. Mosby in the $10,000 damage suit against the Argus, and others, readily offered to pay the damage, and immediately turned over the amount to the attorneys in good faith, thus relieving the defendants of the burden. THE NEW YORK TIMES the comments of the papers all over the country rate this lecture as a masterpiece. The co-operation of some of the leading churches, and of the executive committee of the N. A. A. C. P. has been promised so that a large crowd is looked for on the night of May 7. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. F. F.

Our Lord answers the question in an indirect way by a solemn exhorte- ton to this duty. “Strive to enter in at the straight gate.” Whatever oth- ers may think about tt, be would have us feel the need for exertion. This need is not because salvation Js s0 Aimcult in Itself, for tt ts written that “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13).

He speaks of thoee ‘who have been his guests, 90 to speak eating and drinking in his presence; he speaks of those who have lstened to his teachings; of those who have taught bis word, and of those whe have wrought his signs.

VAVID. LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 93-m ~~ GOLDEN TEXT—Whoso putteth. trust tthe Lard shall be ‘ateProv Although anointed by Samuel, vic- tortious in arms and promoted at court, David was many years in reaching hia throne. At first both court and army 4id him honor (ch: 18:2), yet he con- ducted. himaeit with. great modesty (18:18, 28)... He also obeyed the king explicitly. though he knew fully that he was the Godappointed successor of Saul. Escapes as wonderful and as providential as David's. eccur in the lives of most of ts if we could but know them. 1. David and Jonathan, w. 13. The PRET som nowt DSA, i Jags than tae ‘classic. ~ With such close family relations and a’ sontnlaw #0 vuccessful at arms'it is strange that Saul's anger should vent tteelf upon David. At first Saul was much at- tached to David’ but the admiration of the people for David aroused his jeal- ousy, (ch: 18:6) and jealousy is pecu- Marly a soldier's disesse. ‘The slave of jealousy never has peace. As alti and Atsobedience developed in his lite Sani became sitbject to fits of insane rage during one of which, as David played upon his barp and’ endeavored to qulet the monarch’ _ spirit, he hurled a javelin, which served as his scepter, at the harpist (ch. 19:10). Saul felt ‘that David was divinely protected and he knew that God’had departed from his own Iife (15:28; 16:14),~ Saul did not keep his ‘grief and rage to himself for Jonathan and the nation allke knew all about it. M1. Saul and Jonathan, wv. 47: Tt took ‘courage and self-sacrifice on Jonathan's part to speak on behalf of David. Prudence and principle are combined in Jonathan's plea. Those wh envy include in their hate and anger all who speak kindly in bebalf of their enemy. But Jonathan's argu- ment (vy. 4, 5) is unanswerable. David-had-not strined against Sank; tt was Jehovah who “wrought a great salvation for all Israel” on the day David took his life in his hand and overcame Goliath. Jonathan pleads for God as well as for his friend He called to Saul's memory_hia’ former foy at seeing Jehovah's vittory through David and for the time being Saul was persuaded (v. 6) and made another of those {mpetuous. promises whieh- proved so fleeting _Ushered_ by Jonathan (Matt. 5:9) David returned to Saul's presence, entered once more upon the discharge of his dutics and desisted only when be saw. that his presence only aggravated the king and that he was uselessly exposing his life In Sanl's presence. David was faith- tal to God and to God's anointed king. |_Itf, Michal and’ David, vy. 81 ‘Baul's hatred was too deep to be pr manently overcome. David went 0. and won a great victory over the Pht- Mstines and as he followed his courtly uty, Saul’ burst oat with = freah at tack (vv. 8, 9). David had married Michal when about twenty-one ‘years of age and Saul's attacks occurred dur- tng the next three years. “The evil spirit mentioned was a.demon (18:10; ‘Acts 16:16-18: Mark 1:23-26), a mes- senger of Satan permitted by God for Saul's discipline (II Cor. 12:7). God permits evil to come upon men not to ‘tempt them—solicit them to do wrong but.to bring them to repentance ot tp reipe them aa pare gold. ‘Thus ovil may said to do God's work (ch. 4:1). “tobe. sent from Jébovab.” IV.

Headquartera, 209 N. Jefferson Ave, St. Louis, Mo. Old-fashioned housekeepers cling to the old way of making apple, claiming that its flavor is far superior to the easier made product. It is indeed excellent and in cold weather keeps its form quite as well as where gelatin is used to stiffen. Get from the butcher a knuckle bone of ham, a calf's foot and a knuckle of veal. Put into two quarts of cold water, and set over the fire where it will come slowly to a boil. Add one onion with four cloves stuck into it, a large carrot, a bunch of soup herbs and a spice bag. Cook gently for four or five hours until the water is reduced about one-half. Strain and set aside to cool. When cold remove every suspicion of fat and return the thickened jelly to a clean saucepan with the crushed shells and beaten whites of two eggs, a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar, and lemon juice or wine as preferred, to season. Salt and pepper to taste, and keep stirring until the jelly nearly reaches the boiling point and a thick soum has formed. Remove that, then draw to one side of the fire and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Set back covered, until the jelly settles, then strain through the jar or three times until quite clear. Pour into a mold that has been soaked in cold water, then pack in a pan of snow or broken ice until hard. If you desire to have the jelly a pretty red color, add sufficient tomato to color at the same time and add the lemon or wine. RECIPE IS AN ANCIENT ONE Noel Cake for Many Years a Favorite Both In This Country and In England. To three cupfuls of sugar add two and one-half cupfuls of softened butter and whip to a light, white cream. Add ten eggs, two at a time, beating for about five minutes. To this mixture add four well sifted cupfuls of flour to which one teaspoonful of baking powder has been added; mix the whole well and add one-half cupful of shredded citron, four cupfuls of washed and dried currants, one teaspoonful each of nutmeg and cloves and one-half cupful of fruit juice. Mix well and pour into a paper-lined tin, which is also well protected with paper on the outside. Bake for two and one-half hours in a moderate oven. This should be made at least a week before serving it. When ready to serve, wrap each slice in white paraffin paper, tied with a red ribbon and a sprig of fir tucked under the ribbon—The Mother's Magazine. Although beef is not at all an ideal salad meat, surprisingly good meat salad may be made from a small piece of boiled beef (bouillie). A half cupful of such meat cut in small pieces and mixed with dainty cooked vegetables and a mayonnaise dressing may be very tasty and will make an unexpectedly large salad. The vinaigrette of beef, a popular way with the French of using left over boiled beef, is practically the same thing as a beef salad, except that the meat is cut in as pretty slices as possible and allowed to lie in the dressing for a time before it is served. This is what is called marinating the beef. It is good for luncheon, with hot vegetables. Cut in thin slices some left over boiled beef and let it lie an hour in a marinating mixture made as follows. Thin one scant teaspoonful of mustard with enough oil and vinegar to soak the meat in. Use half and half oil and vinegar, or three times as much oil as vinegar, according to taste. Add salt and pepper and chopped fine herbs to taste. A little chopped onion may be used and the dish in which the meat is marinated may be rubbed with a clove of garlic. Boil one cupful of rice in plenty of boiling salted water until done. Put in a colander and wash several times in cold water or hold under faucet and let plenty of water run over it. Then place in a round casserole with one fourth cupful hot water. Sprinkle the top with paprika and cover with very thin slices of bacon. Cover and bake 30 minutes in a slow oven. Uncover and brown the bacon and serve at once. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter; when bubbling blend in one spoonful of flour, than add one half of finely chopped spinach and cook and stir five minutes. Add half cupful of cream, season with pepper and salt; cook and stir three minutes longer and arrange in a mound on a heated dish. Garnish with slices of hard-bolled eggs and serve at once. Soak over night, stew and strain the largest prunes. Sweeten slightly, then cool thoroughly on ice and chop small. Add to the prune juice orange and lemon juice to flavor, stir in chopped fruit and serve in glasses banked with crushed ice. To Clean Brass Breads.

The refusal of the jury to assess punitive (punishment) damages against the de- fendants in- the case establishes entirely the sincerity, honesty of purpose and good faith of the Argus and the other defendants. The other part of the verdict, which awards Mosby one cent in damages for injury to his reputation, humiliation and pecuniary loss, says in effect that the jury believed his reputation had been impaired and injured just one cent’s worth. The plaintiff's lawyers asked for’a substantial money verdict On each count in the petition, both to repay him for loss, damage to reputation and humiliation, and to punish the defendants for exhibiting malice and ill will and for wantonly assailing the char- acter of citizens. The verdict of the jury is a victory for the Argus and the other defendants. & ANOTHER PHASE OF SEGREGATION Do we believe in segregation? Why, certainly. It is an ab- solute necessity to civilization. The safety of the people demands it. It is a vital part of every well-organized community. The . highest legal, medical and theological authority upholds it> Were it not for segregation, cultured America would plunge into the reign of chaos and darkness. Of course we believe in segregation because we believe that it is right to maintain prisons where we may segregate the law- breakers from the law-abidihg—the criminals from the peaceable. We believe that it is right to maintain pest-houses where we may segregate the infected from the healthy. W believe that it is a good thing to have city ordinances that we May segregate slaugh- ter houses and other public nuisances from’ the residential neigh- borhoods. We believe in the Bible because it teaches’ that God Himself segregates the sinners from the righteous, with absolutely no intercourse between them, because “there is a great gulf fixed.” Thus it may be seen that we have the highest Iggal, medical and theological authority for segregation. - Of course we believe in segregation. We believe that every drunkard, man or woman, white or colored, should be taken into custody by a police officer and segregated in jail. We believe that every stray dog should be picked up by the dog-catchers. and seg- regated in the pound. We believe that all gun-toters, pool-room. loafers, street walkers, crooks, habitual’ criminals and others who are a menace to public morality and law and order should all be segregated, both colored and. white. Certainly we believe in segregation. It is vitally hecessary, in its place. But its place is, not to separate on the basis of color, but of character. PATRONIZING NEGRO BUSINESS estion of Negro patronage is one of the mi ns with which we have to deal. There understanding on the subject that the / matter clear. ° 1cral impression is that the Negro should when he can deliver the goods. But th: e-Negro should have our patronage beca Din eal oy. american og Eee A caleD This question of Negro patronage is one of the most important race questions with which we have to deal. There seems to be so much misunderstanding on the subject that the Argus wishes to make the matter clear. ° The general impression is that the Negro shouldlpave our pat- ronage only when he can deliver the goods. But that is entirely wrong, The-Negro should have our patronage because he is a Negro. It is not a question of competition. with white. dealers; it isa question of our obligation to the Negro dealers. How can the Negro dealer contpete with the white dealer? How can the Negros fifty years of national existence compare with the white man’s hundreds of years of civilization? How can Negro busi- ness, necessarily small, measure up to white business, naturally large. : : Ts it reasonable or logical to expect our Men's Furnisher to compete with the Grand Leader? or our grocers to compete with the great, white entefprises? or our newspapers to compete with the Globe-Democrat? They have -wealth, numbers, experience, prestige behind them. We have nothing—not even the support ‘of our own people. : If our enterprises did have the support of our people, if Ne- groes would patronize Negroes exclusively, it would- not, be long *before we could compete. with the whites in many lines, and. favor- ably, Until then, competition is out of the question. But, we repeat, it is not a question of competition it is a ques- tion of obligation. If competition were the logical condition of Patronage, then, the Argus says, unhesitatingly, why patronize the Negro at all? , ‘ : “There is hardly a Negro man or woman who would want to see this the condition in fact, though he’ accepts the truth in the- LOTS FOR SAILE DUNBAR SCHOOL -IS BUILT ON EAST KINLOCH SUBDIVISION OF JONES FARM. 3 Ask yourself the question whether or not the Trustees of this” school would build up such, a- fine building on this ground if there was a.shadow of doubt*as-to-a-chearistes WG Iinais thas amas. have had it investigated by a good lawyer. ; The East Kinloch Sales Co., in offering these lots, wants you to eradicate from your memory any such false ideas that may have been created.

He cannot do it. Not until we first give him our patronage, thus supplying him capital and support and encouragement and incentive. Besides, let us not forget that the white man has for years used the millions of Negroes to help build up his’ basiness and Siven him ‘nothing_in return—other than the mere goods his money Paid for.

BIRDIE BEAL, PIONEER LADY EMBALMER A long stride of progress in the proper direction has been made by Birdie Beal, and she is deserving of the cordial encouragement of all the members of her race and sex. Miss Beal is the only colored lady embalmer in the city of St. Louis or state of Missouri, having successfully passed the required examination before the Board of Examiners in November, and is prepared, to render first-class service to ladies. Having been well trained and having been authorized by the commonwealth, she must indeed be competent, and those who avail themselves of her services may rest assured that she will faithfully and intelligently perform her duties in a thoroughly womanly manner. Miss Beal wishes to thank her many friends for the service rendered in trying to protect her race and sex. Miss Beal, since completing the course, has opened as lady undertaker at 2726 Lucas Avenue, connected with her father, A. L. Beal, and has had charge of eighteen lady funerals, which was very much satisfaction to the deceased families. Open day and night. Central 5048; carriages furnished for all occasions. Bomont 2726. A.

A large crowd was out to Kuebler's Park to witness the contest. The features of the game were a home run by Handy and a double play, unassisted, by McAdoo. Capt. Dick Wallace, of the Giants sustained a sprained ankle and had to be carried from the field. He will be laid up for a few days only. Next Sunday and Monday, May 2 and 3, the Giants will play the Deitrich Stars. The following is the score of last Sunday's game. R. H. E. Field-Lippmans. 000000002-2 40 Giants. 51200021-x11 131 Batteries—Ellerman, Wolff and Shenkel; Johnson; Williams and Webster. Umpire—Mattjoy. Mattjoy, the Giant's new umpire, deserves more consideration than the fans seem willing to give. He is conscientious and honest in his work and is trying to please. He covers the ground well and is generally on top of the play. He has a better opportunity to judge than the people in the stands and deserves the benefit of the doubt on all decisions. He'll make good, if given a chance. At last the baseball powers that be, locally, have decided to give the Negro some recognition. It is rumored that a New City League is contemplated, consisting of the Giants, Alpen Braus, East St. Louis Giants, Belleville Maroons and two other teams to play a schedule of Saturday games. The Giants are expected, to be the biggest drawing card and should win the pennant as they are conceded to be the fastest aggregation in the city outside of the big league clubs. "THE GARDEN" OPENS TO BIG AUDIENCE Wim. H. King's New Garden Airdome, at 2120 Market St., opened to a big crowd last Sunday evening. The place has been converted into a clean and comfortable out-of-doors theater. The seats are so arranged that occupants will not have to rise to let others pass. The pictures are first class and the music is furnished by a high grade Wurlitzer Electric Piano. "The Garden" seems set for a profitable season. PLENTY OF FUN AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THIS WEEK There is a riot of fun at the Booker Washington this week and everyone seems to be well satisfied. Myers and Myers open in a repertoire of songs and dances interspersed with several jokes. The lady does a bit of good dancing and makes a hit. The Fremans, very good singers, score nicely. They are featuring a burlesque burglar stunt that is full of comedy. Their jokes are catchy and take well with the audience. The lady is a much improved actress. Bozan and Granger, the "Brass Boys," open lively with comic antics and songs, filled with eccentricity and keep up a storm of applause until they close, with a medley of popular songs played on slide trombone and tuba. They are making good. Turpin's Artists, in "The Troubles of a Theatrical Manager," are as funny as ever. Tim Moore gets plenty of comedy out of the role of Jake, the general utility man. Bowman is David Tabasco, the manager; Miss Ursel Burnett, as Madaline Beetero; Joe Burrell, as Edwin C. Booth, and Mrs Moore as his wife; are all good. The act is going good. Saturday Night, the finale contest in Women's Rag Time Piano Playing will be heard. Those who have qualified for the championship are Misses Bessie Collins, Beula McQueen, Lula Davis and Mary Harper. PAY DAY FOR EVERYBODY Everybody will have pay day at the Booker Washington Theater on Mondays, beginning Monday, May 17. No guessing, no chances, no lottery. Everyone who buys a ticket on Mondays will receive an envelope containing their pay. It's a unique and novel feature of this theater and the patrons of this house are in line for some big surprises on the first pay day, Monday, May 17. KUEBLER'S PARK 6100 N.

This is claimed to be more exciting than the Exploits just closed at this theater and Tommie James deserves credit for his efforts in securing such high class serials for his patrons. THE PRICE OF JEALOUSY The Price of Jealousy is the title of the second "Who Pays?" picture at the Comet Odeon this Saturday, May 1. It is said to be a thriller. Manager Zimmerman has installed a new Daylight Screen, the only one on Market St. It has the effect of making the pictures look like oil paintings. The last chapter of Runaway June will be seen Monday, and a new serial, "The Diamond From The Sky," will be installed Monday night, May 10. The Movie Theater is getting fitted up for its summer run. Ten ceiling and wall fans have been installed, making the place cool, comfortable and well ventilated. Manager "Tommie" James is wide awake. He is continually improving the quality of his photo-plays, as well as caring for the comfort of his patrons. Saturday, this theater will show "Americano," a two-part thriller on the Mexican war. Sunday, "The Greater Barrier," an Indian picture, will be shown. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Stars vs RK y TWO Sun. And M Are You Interested In Woman's Hair?

Lady Attendant. Weak Mediums. NOTE.—Those calling for pastime, curious and frivolous persons are only waiting time calling on Prof. Gladstone. Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has already taken him through all the reefs of the world, the oceans and Europe. It seems, indeed, as if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—the great beyond—across the dark chasm separates the human body from the ditch, and the human body is told.

He is surely a man of the passing time. GLADSTONE is not a chairvoyant from choice, but because fate has so decreed it. His ancestors were powerful mediums and have for ages handed down their wonderful power of gift from generation to generation. So he has received the rich inheritance together with the combined knowledge and priceless experience of generations. No matter what your present trouble may be or what your past experience has been, you will s'retime and avoid disappointment by at once consulting Gladstone. NOTE.—Gladstone answers no letters.
