ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM. vol. XIX. No. 27. HERR BARTHOLDT IN THE LIME-LIGHT. Congressman Bartholdt, that erratic representative of the Tenth district, still continues to break faith with his friends and emit volumes of enticcing, but unproductive air. The Doctor seems to have a penchant for making promises and handing out superfluous air until he has reached a degree of ill-repute in many of his former strongholds; in fact, Mr. Bartholdt is no longer looked upon by representative Republicans as an object worthy of future consideration. It is a fact well-known that when Congressional representatives begin consulting and hobbling with such fan-scented characters as Andy McCrew and W. W. Howard, it is time for honest voters and campaign committees to look about for more stable timber with which to guide the ship of state. In the fall of 1902, during the campaign of that season, a committee of negroes called on Congressman Joy to advise with him concerning fences in his district, but that aristocratic patrician gentlemen told them that he did not need the negro vote of his district, for he intended to go to Congress by a majority of 5,000, and he also advised them to vote for his Democratic opponent, Mr. Hunt. Well, "The proof of the pudding is eating," Joy ate—and there is enough pudding left for Herr Bartholdt. Mr. Bartholdt, "is said, is grooming a fellow named Ricker, from God knows where, for Assistant Treasurer at St. Louis. Just who Ricker is and where he comes from no one seems to know. Of one thing, however, the public may be sure, that when the matter is over and the new Treasurer is chosen, Ricker, the victim of "Bartholdtian" genius, will diminish like a snow-ball before an Angust sun. Bartholdt and his brother-in-law, Geo. Beirman, have given the party a raw deal in St. Louis, and the general public seems efficiently aroused as to the necessity of shelving the fore-dressing gentleman and his nepotistic inclinations for public good. That "Jurist Steward" in the 16th Chapter of Luke seems to properly fit the present state of Herr Bartholdt. A man is lifted up for the good which he does, and likewise, should he fall, for his deception and unstable qualities. Republican Missouri depends on individual honesty and Republican activity to a man; yes, even more, it depends upon men of strong hearts, not moved by selfish motives or hope of public gain; m n who will stand up for the right at all times and on all occasions. Mr. Bartholdt does not meet these requirements which are so essential for party advancement, then let us relegate him to a less conspicuous position. More Bartholdtism. It is sensing to note the Herr Doctor's spirit of liberality in offering to give the surplus earnings of the paper the brewers found to be a white elephant on their hands, and which Herr Doctor bought (?), and from which the Republican party need never hope to receive (ein ptennig). The Doctor is not one of the giving kind. When St. Louis was stricken by the cyclone and thousands of our citizens rendered homeless, did the Herr Doctor come to the rescue with a contribution? Did he go to the War Department and solicit tents and needed supplies for the sufferers? During the recent floods when numbers of his constituents along the Missouri River bottoms, in St. Louis County, were rendered homeless, did anyone hear of the Herr Doctor giving a contribution? Did he interest himself in any manner in their behalf (?) No; the Doctor is not of the giving kind. The Doctor believes in the theory that it is better to receive than give. Contributions are all right so long as they come the Doctor's way, and we predict the brewers will be compelled to ante up a little stronger for the Doctor on his next round-up, for he will need them good and plenty for the St. Louis Palladium is on his heels with ten thousand loyal negro veters who never forget a friend or forgive an enemy, and we sure have the Doctor on the run. We have no candidate in view, but if the Tenth district Republicans can't improve on this fore-fluusher, they had better turn the district over to the Doctor and his family and relatives, whom he has thus far taken very good care of, providing each with an office. There is in this district such timber as Chas. Nagel, Doctor Max Starkloff, Seldon P. Spencer, Judge Zachritz H. C. Grenner, Judge Wolff, Judge Zimmerman, C. P. Walbridge, Chas F. Joy, who recently moved in the district, Judge Wurdenmen, Judge McElhenny, and a host of other loyal American Republicans. The Doctor has certainly outlived his usefulness, both as a Congressman and a representative of the brewers. Watch the St. Louis Palladium, for we certainly voice the sentiments of not only every negro voter, but all the Republicans in the district who do not nappen to be related to Bartholdt by blood or marriage. "Patronage Brokerage" and Beirmanism must go. When Bardhloid next appears before a convention he will not have "a message from the President." He will have a message from the people.

NOTHING CRIMINAL, BUT INDISCREET. ; Deeply Affected Over the Affair—His Sharp Note to Metcalfe. : Washington, June 18.—As a result of alleged indiscretion in matters per- ‘taining to the award of contracts for printing the money order forms of the government, James T. Metcalfe, for many years superintendent of the money order system of the post of- fice department, Wednesday was re- moved from office by the postmaster general. A full investigation of the case will be made later. The dis- mifsal is the result of acts of Mr. Metcalf in opposition to the bid of Paul Herman, of Rutherford, N. J. the lowest bidder by $45,000, and in favor of the next highest bidder, the Wynkoop-Hallenbeck-Crawford Com- pany, of New York, of which Mr. Met- calf's son is an employe. ‘Phe story 12 briefly told in the fol- lowing letier of dismissal, signed by Postmaster-General Payne at five o'clock Wednesday afternoon: Washington, June 17, 1903—Mr. James T. Metealfe, superintendent of money order system, post office de- partment: Sir—You are hereby Te moved from the position of superin- tendent of the money order system. ‘The charges upon which your removal is based, relate to your actions in the matter of the letting of the contract for money order forms, These charges were made known to you this morn- ing by Fourth Assistant Postmaster- General Bristow and Assistant Attor- ney-General Robb, of the post office department, and a transcript of your answer thereto is inclosed herewith. It appears from your answer that when the proposals of the different competitors for the contract: of sup- plying money order forms , were ‘opened, Paul Herman, of Rutherford, N. J., (formerly employed as foreman by “the Wynkoop-Hallenbeck-Craw- fora Company, of New York, by which company it seems your son is also employed) was found to be the low- est bidder, his proposals being $45. 000 below that of the next higher bidder, namely the Wynkoop-Hallen- beck-Crawford Company; that the bid of Herman, as submitted, was reg- ular in form and that he had deposit- ed a certified check for $5,000 as a for- feit, It further appears that within a day or two the Wynkoop-Hallenbeck- Crawford Company filed a protest against awarding the contract to Her- man, alleging that he was not finan- cially responsible; that-a short time thereafter-Mr. Herman called at your office and you advised him to with- draw his bid and re-enter the employ of the Wynkoop-Hallenbeck-Craw- ford Company, understanding at the time that such withdrawal would re- sult in the contraet being awarded to said company, and, consequently, in a loss to the government; that you offered to write and did write a let- ter to said company, apprising it of your interview with Herman, and us- ing your good offices in his behalf; that you advised Herman that . his $5,000 deposit would probably be re- turned to him if he adopted your sug- gestion. It further appears that you regarded Mr, Herman as possessing the mechanical qualifications requisite to the performance of the contract and that it was not any part of your duty to pass upon questions of his re- sponsibility, financial or otherwise. It also appears that you did not acquaint your superior, First Assistant Post- master Wynne, with the fact that you had endeavored to have Mr. Herman withdraw his bid. It further appears that a hearing has been had before General Wynne, upon the question of the financial responsibility of Mr. Herman, although it has developed since the submission of your answer this morning, that you discouraged the granting of such a hearing, and manifested a desire that the contract be awarded to the Wynkoop-Hallen- beck-Crawford Company. Very respectfully, Postmaster General. Postmaster-General Payne, in an- nouneing his action, stated that there was no charge that Mr. Metcalfe hac done anything that is amenable to the Jaw, but said that his conduet was 4 serious indiseretion that could not be overlooked. Mr. Metcalfe, he said, always has been considered a faithful, efficient painstaking and honest. employe. Mr. Payne's voice trembled with emotion as he announced the dis: missal to the newspaper men_ late Wednesday afternoon. He said it had become his duty to make the removal and it was a step which he could not avoid in the proper discharge of his duties, In reply to questions he said that no consideration has been giver as yet to the appointment of a sue- cessor, but that the duties of super: intendent for the present would de- volve on Mr. Metealfe’s assistant. He is Edward F. Kimball, of Massachu setts, who has been in the service 17 years. Mr, Metealfe originally was ap pointed from Towa, and has been ir the postal service since 1882. During his administration of the office the money order service has been widely extended by mutual arrangements ee a large number of foreign gov- ernments throughout the world, and ‘Mr. Metcalfe has had cordial personal relations with many foreign postal officials. His salary was $3,000 a year. ‘The Wynkoop, Hallenback, Craw. ford Company has beet the contrac: tor for the money order blanks -for 1G years, Herman Metcalfe, the 27- year-old son of the deposed superin- tendent, draws a salary of $2250 from the company. Mr. Metealfe, when seen, said that he had done nothing wrong, and had nothing to conceal; that his son’s em- ployment by the bidding firm could have no’effect on the award; that he suggested Herman's return to his old ‘company to handle the government work there because he (Metcalfe) knew that Herman's means were lim- ited and that a stoppage of supplies ‘in the midst. of a contract term would prove serious. He says that on Her- man’s consent he wrote to Mr. Hallen- beck advising that Herman be re- stored to his old place, and that he told Herman that he had littie doubt that the government would allow him to withdraw his forfeit check of $5,000, ALLEGATION OF FORGERY. Another Charge, and a Serioux One, It Is Said, WIM be Made Against ‘A.W. Machen. Washington, June 18.—It is believed that the grand jury will shortly be asked by the post office authorities to find another indictment against A. W. Machen, the former superintendent of the free delivery system. The charge, it is said, will be forgery, based on the cashing of a check for $369, drawn by the cashier of the New York post office in favor of Henry L. Lo- renz, of Toledo, 0. It is claimed that the money was to have been sent to Mr. Lorenz in care of Mr. Machen. The check was cashed in this city, being indorsed by Frank K. Ray- monds, who says he had the check cashed for Machen. Mr. Lorenz has declared that the signatures, both on the check and voucher accompanying it, are forgeries. He declares that he has not received a cent of the money, and has no knowledge of ‘the transaction. WOODMEN ELECT OFFICERS. A.

In some of the central and northern counties much corn has been washed out or covered up py the excessive rains. In some of the northern and western counties only one-half to three-fourths of the crop has yet been planted, and in a few of the south- western counties only about one- fourth of the usual acreage has been planted. There is also considerable planting yet to be done in other sec- tions and an unusual amount of re- planting will be necessary, It is prob- able that in some districts the acreage will be considerably reduced.

Low Temperature Unfavorable For Growth of Vegetation— Repianting of Overflowed Lands, Columbia, Mo., June 16.—United States department of agriculture, cli- mate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending June 15, 1903, says: ‘The weather during the past week has been unseasonably cool, light frost occurring on low ground in a few locations on the 12th and 13th,but there has been a good percentage of sunshine and very little rain. Seat- tered showers fell on the Sth, but the rainfall was less than one-half inch, except in a few localities in the cen- tral and northeast sections, where fall of one-half to one and one-halé inches were recorded. The low tem- perature has been unfavorable for the growth of vegetation, and some corn is looking quite yellow, but the fair weather has enabled farmers to re- sume work in the fields, and the time has been well improved. ‘The cultivation of corn has been rushed, and the fields are being rap- idly put in good condition. Much of the crop was very foul, and will re- quire a great deal of work. Breaking and planting have also been in prog- ress in those sections wherethat work had not been completed, and much replanting has been done. The replanting of overflowed lands will be pushed as rapidly as the soil becomes dry enough te work, but some low Jands will not dry out in time for eort ‘to be replanted. - Plowing and corn planting are pro gressing rapidly in those southwest- ern coiinties where that workhasbeen so greatly delayed, but there is much complaint that the ground is very cloddy. Cotton, in the southeastern counties has been retarded by the low tem- perature, and much of the crop is still very grassy, but is being rapidly eleaned. ‘The growth of melons has been checked by the cool weather. Wheat continues in good condition in por tions of the northern sections, and some improvement is noted in a few of the central and southern counties, but over the greater portion of the state it is being injured to a greater or less extent by rust, and there is much complaint of short straw and short heads. It is also being injured by seab in some localities. Hazvest is now in progress in the extreme south- ern counties. Some rye has also been cut. Oats are being damaged by rust and insects in a few counties, Some have turned yellow as a result of the recent wet weather, and in a few localities they are heading quite short, but the bulk of the crop continues in a prom: ising condition. They are now head ing in the northern counties. Flax is blooming in the southwest ern counties, and in portions of Bates county the crop is poor and weedy.

STEVENSON, IN N. Y. INDEPENDENT. The KIDNAPPED MILLIONAIRES A Tale of Wall Street and the Tropics BY FREDERICK U. ADAMS Copyright, 1901, by Lothrop Publishing Company. All rights reserved. CHAPTER IX.—CONTINUED. Jack Stevens lost no time in acquaintance Chalmers with what he had learned. They no longer had any doubt they were on the right track. "But what did he do such a thing for?" asked Stevens. "It is all Greek to me. Talk about motives! What motive would a man like Hestor have in kidnapping such men as these? He has plenty of money. He would not demand a ransom. Most of these men have known him since he was a boy; so I am told. His father was a big figure in Wall Street. What the devil was his motive?" "I will never tell you," said Chalmers. "He has always been more or less crazy about the newspaper business. That interview with the Czar turned his head. This is probably his coup de maître. If so, it is a wonder!" "How much better off are we now that we believe Hestor is the man?" asked Stevens. "Where is he? That is the question. How are we to find him?" "You may as well call off your men at Provincetown," said Chalmers, after a pause, in which both did some hard thinking. "They can find nothing there. If Hestor did this job, he probably brought the Shark' into Cape Cod bay and posted the letter from Provincetown. Then he dropped a man off at or near Boston and, had him mail the various letters from Springfield, Albany, and the other places. It requires no great reasoning to see through that. The last letter came from Philadelphia. Hestor may have made the trip himself. It would be just like him. If so, the yacht probably picked him up at some point along the South Atlantic coast." "It strikes me that the thing to do is to ascertain if Hestor loaded any building materials into that yacht," said Stevens. "If he did he is planning to build a house to put that furniture in. If not, the house probably is built." "I have reason to believe the house is already constructed," said Chalmers. He told Stevens of Hestor's talk about his house, the night after the Waldorf-Astoria dinner. While they were considering this phase of the case the news editor entered with a telegram. It read as follows: St. Louis, May 7. To William Chalmers, Managing Editor New York Times **NYORK Record:** Have an interview with Sylvester Vincent. He refuses to make confession. How much shall I send? Big story. Can wire 10.- 000 words before midnight. Wire $200. BERNARD SEYMOUR. "Your man Seymour is a dream," said Chalmers, passing the telegram to Jack Stevens. "Wire him to send us 1,000 words information, not for publication, and tell him to stick to Vincent and make him talk." Stevens sent the proper dispatch. Another telegram was received, an hour later, from St. Louis. It read: St. Louis, May 7. To Editor New York Record: Man arraised as L. Sylvester Vincent by your representative proves to be Rev. Hilton Wesley Chicago. Where can your representative prove to be P. SULLIVAN, Chief of Police. "I don't believe he can be found," said Chalmers. "Wire the chief that the man who represented himself as our correspondent undoubtedly is an impostor. I wonder where Mr. Bernard Seymour is." He was not long in doubt. Shortly before midnight this telegram was received: Illinois Central Train No. 47, En Route South. To William Chalmers, Managing Editor New York Record: Will explain later. Am hot on trail. Send $500 to St. Charles hotel, New Orleans. BERNARD SEYMOUR. "I am glad he is headed for New Orleans," said Chalmers. "We can use him here. Now, I tell you what we will do: Your Wall street men have found out nothing. You notice I was right about the books of Street & Rogers. An examination was made to-day, and it panned out just as I predicted. The account is in the name of the firm. I am going to break into Hestor's desk to-night and see if I can learn anything. If his check books are there they may prove something. It is hardly likely that they are. What I was about to say is this: "You find out if any lumber went aboard the 'Shark'. In the meantime have your men interview every contractor, builder and architect in New York, and see if any work has been done for Hestor in the last two years." "That is a great scheme!" said Stevens. "Send men to Boston and Philadelphia on a like mission. I will wire Seymour at New Orleans and have him do the same thing there. Send four or five men to New Orleans and Galveston to-night. Instruct them to interview every man who may have anything to do with building a residence of any kind for Walter B. Hestor. Swear them to absolute secrecy. I am going to have an interview with Miss Olive Hammond to-night, at the Carmody residence." "Where does Sidney Hammond come in in this case?" asked Stevens. "He is supposed to have sailed with Hestor." "I do not know. I am going to try and find out," said Chalmers. "It looks as if he was mixed up in it, too. I hope not. Sidney is too good a fellow." Later in the evening Mr. Chalmers was at the Carmody mansion. During the day he had arranged with Miss Carmody to invite Miss Olive Hammond to spend the evening at her house. "Miss Carmody," said Chalmers, after the formal greetings were made, "I know you will excuse my apparent freedom, but I have some news of great importance, which I am going to tell you and Miss Hammond. We should have a room where we cannot be interrupted or overheard." Miss Carmody rang for Smith. "Unlock Mr. Carmody's private office," she said. "Put it in order and bring Mr. Chalmers some cigars. I know he smokes." Mr. Chalmers bowed his thanks. They were soon seated in Mr. Carmody's library and private office. Nothing which taste could dictate or money furnish was lacking in this room. Chalmers took the big easy office chair, while the young ladies formed a charming picture on a near by divan. "Miss Hammond, the news I have obtained indirectly concerns your brother Sidney," said Chalmers. Miss Olive Hammond grew pale, and uttered a half-exclamation. "You need not be in the least alarmed. I have no reason to believe he is in any degree to blame in this affair. I am going to relate the whole story, as far as I know it, and you may be able to throw new light on the mystery." For half an hour Chalmers explained the circumstances which had led him to suspect Hestor. As he talked the two girls clasped hands. Tears glistened in Miss Hammond's eyes when Chalmers told of the instructions Hestor had left that a notice should be inserted in the Record, stating that Sidney Hammond would accompany him on a trip to the Mediterranean. As he said this Miss Carmody released Olive Hammond's hand and instinctively drew away from her. Olive burst into tears. "Sidney never could do such a thing! Oh, there is a cruel mistake somewhere!" she sobbed. "Sidney is the soul of honor. Oh, my brother, my noble, honest brother; why are you not here to defend yourself?" Miss Helen threw her arms around the weeping girl. Chalmers did not know what to say. His story had been cut off at its sensational point. He stammered an apology. "He is not guilty. I am sure he is not guilty!" exclaimed Miss Carmody. Her eyes flashed as she looked at Chalmers. "I have said that I did not believe him guilty," said that gentleman, recovering himself. "You young ladies jump at a conclusion too quickly. It is probable that Mr. Hammond was the victim of a plot like the others." "Why, Sidney did not know he was going until a few hours before the yacht sailed for Europe," said Miss Olive. She had regained her self-possession. "He sent me a telegram just before he went away, saying that he was obliged to take a sudden trip to Europe with Mr. Hestor. When he left home in the morning he did not know a thing about it. We had planned to go to the theater on the following evening, and he had secured the tickets. So how could he have known anything about it? Sidney tells me everything." "That is splendid news," said Chalmers, his face lighting up with pleasure. "You need not worry about Sidney. I hope you kept that telegram." "I have it here in my reticule," said Miss Olive. Chalmers read it carefully. He lifted the receiver of the telephone at his elbow. "Give me the superintendent's office—the Postal Union Telegraph company," he said. Chalmers was well acquainted with the routine of the telegraph office, and soon arranged that the original of the dispatch be forwarded by special message to the Carmody residence. While waiting for this, they talked over the strange features of the case. "You are sure that Hestor said nothing about going away the night he gave the opera and supper party?" asked Mr. Chalmers. "I did not hear him say a word about it," said Miss Hammond. "Mr. Hestor and Sidney had a long talk about trusts. They were at the end of the table, and for a long time took no part in the general conversation. I was not interested in what the others were saying and found myself listening to Sidney and Walter Hestor. Mr. Hestor said it would be a fine plan if they could induce the leading capitalists of the country to meet and discuss methods to regulate the abuses which have arisen under the trust control of industrial affairs. Now that I think of it, he mentioned such names as Rockwell, Morton and Haven, and I am sure Mr. Carmody's name was used. Sidney told him that these men could not be induced to take the time to bother with such matters. Finally Mr. Hestor said that he was going to form a trust of his own. Sidney laughed, but Walter seemed much in earnest. Soon afterward the party dispersed and we went home. Sidney went to Chicago, and did not return until the following Saturday." The messenger boy arrived with the original copy of the telegram. Chalmers gave one glance at it. "Just as I suspected," he said. He passed the telegram to Miss Hammond. It was written in pencil on a sheet of newspaper "copy" paper, with a telegraph head pasted above it. "Is that Sidney's handwriting?" he asked. "Why, no!" exclaimed Miss Olive. "It is not a bit like it." "Walter Hestor wrote that," said Chalmers. "I know his writing; having handled thousands of pages of it. You may rest assured, Miss Carmody, that we shall soon solve this mystery. Hestor has not covered his tracks. He either did not know how, THREE CHECKBOOKS WERE FOUND IN THE DESK. or did not care. No shrewd criminal would send a forged telegram in his own handwriting. He would use a typewriter. Hestor sent this telegram so that you would not be alarmed at Sidney's absence. It is plain as day." Chalmers enjoined the young ladies to secrecy and returned to his newspaper duties. The following morning Jack Stevens called his staff into conference. He detailed four men to Boston, six to Philadelphia and four to New Orleans and Galveston. Twenty were assigned to work in New York, and six were held in reserve. "Interview every architect and builder in these cities," were Stevens' instructions. "Introduce yourself as a writer who is preparing an elaborate article on summer or country residences. Be specially solicitous about specimens of tropical architecture. Then lead up to who designed the Walter B. Hestor residence. There is a special offer of $25,000 for the reporter who locates the architect, and the same amount for the one who discovers the contractor." Stevens had already satisfied himself that no lumber had been loaded on the "Shark." He explained to his men such facts as were necessary for their guidance. It was not necessary to enjoin them to secrecy. The tempting rewards were sufficient to insure that caution. Each reporter was liberally supplied with money and they went to work with energy. That afternoon, the 8th of May, Chalmers opened Hestor's desk, and with Stevens, made a minute examination of its contents. Much to their surprise, three check books were found on the glass-covered surface of the desk. On dates from April 25 to May 1, inclusive, Hestor had drawn checks payable to himself aggregating $4,648,000. "How could he have amassed that amount of cash?" asked Stevens, as he footed up the aggregate. "Here is a memorandum which explains that," said Chalmers. He pointed to the inside cover of one of the check books on which was tabulated sales of bonds and stocks amounting to $4,627,000. The Hestor estate was largely in securities," said Chalmers. "I remember Hestor told me at one time that he owned between $15,000,000 and $16,000,000 worth of gilt-edged stuff." "What did he do with the cash?" asked Stevens, with an air which indicated that he could answer his own question. "Street & Rogers might answer if they would," said Chalmers. "A man of Hestor's standing could margin 750,000 shares of stock with that amount of money. He was too wise to draw checks payable to anyone but himself. He must have lugged that money down there in bills. It would not make much of a package in $1,000 bills. Hestor must be $30,000,000 ahead in this deal. His insanity takes a canny form. I would like to be crazy awhile like that myself." "But how does he propose so get out of it?" "Give it up," said Chalmers. "It is too deep for me. Hestor is not the kind to think of details like that. He goes ahead and lets consequences take care of themselves. He did not even take the precaution to destroy these cheek books. We can trace him like a rabbit in a new fall of snow." Stevens now turned his attention to such cities as Baltimore, Washington and a number of western cities, in the faint hope that some clew might be found. Instructions were cabled to London, Paris, and other European cities, and a search made in these art centers, but nothing was learned. Chalmers was a daily visitor at the Carmody residence. He inspired Miss Helen with hope, and would not listen to her fears of failure. She was anxious to fit out the Carmody yacht, the "Helen Carmody," and begin at once a search for her father and his companions. "That is a good idea," said Mr. Chalmers. "Go ahead and put the yacht in commission, and supply her with provisions for a month's cruise, but do not start until my men have had a chance to complete their search. It is now the 11th of the month. Give me until Tuesday, the 16th, and if we have no news by that time we will send the 'Helen.' As you know, there are a score of boats scouring the ocean now. It is a good-sized globe, this old world of ours, and there are millions of places, any one of which Hestor may have selected. For all we know, he may be cruising in the boundless waters of the Pacific. On the 16th we will make public all the facts in our possession, in case we do not in the meantime find a definite clew. I do not feel justified in doing so, except as a last resort. Hestor may not be guilty. His actions, so far as we know, can all be explained. Our evidence against him is purely circumstantial. We will give Hestor time to reach some port in Europe. We have wired instructions to every foreign harbor, and will at once hear from him if he be innocent. This is an awful charge to make against an honest man, and we must give Hestor the benefit of every doubt." "You are right, Mr. Chalmers," said Miss Helen. "I will have the yacht prepared for a long cruise. It does not seem possible that H. Hestor could do such a thing. He is so kind and generous. It would be awful to falsely accuse him." It need not be supposed that these daily interviews between the journalist and the charming heiress were entirely devoted to the solving of the mystery which was the cause of their acquaintance. Mr. Chalmers esteemed it his duty to direct her thoughts to more pleasant topics, and he led the conversation into literature and to the discussion of current events. Chalmers was an entertaining talker, with an aptitude to perceive the grotesque side of things, and he possessed the rare art of the good story teller. A few odd facts were sufficient to form the theme of a mithful tale, and Chalmers was by nature and training an adept in the art of narrative. He had an appreciative listener in Miss Carmody, and unconsciously she found herself waiting for the hour when the self-possessell and animated Chalmers would arrive, and with news or fancy lighten the monotony of the hours. [To Be Continued.] Merely a Pardonable Error. The stories told in "the profession" of Mr. Brookfield's scathing repartee are endless. On one occasion a young actor who had lately made a hit in a small part was regaling a few friends at great length upon the "splendid notices" he had received and the various merits of his performance. At last Brookfield quietly remarked: "But, my dear sir, you are not really at all good in the part. I have never seen you do any thing well, but in this part you are simply naughty." "Indeed!" said the young man, bridling up. "I suppose so distinguished a critic as yourself would deny my being an actor at all!" "I certainly should," said Mr. Brookfield. "Then what would you call me?" asked the young man a little recklessly. "Well," said Mr. Brookfield, with a sweet smile, "I think I should describe you as a pardonable error." -Pall Mall Gazette. What the Letter Stood For. Rev. Dr. Swallow, late prohibition candidate for several offices, and not long since tried for slandering the late President McKinley, is a bit of a joker in his way. He tells a story about the nome-de-plume "Gath," used by George Alfred Townsend. "What does that name mean?" a young lady parishioner asked of Dr. Swallow. "The letters are the author's initials, G. A. Townsend," answered the clergyman. "But what does the 'h' stand for?" persisted the lady. "That's where he's going to when he dies," said Dr. Swallow. The lady was horrified, and asked timidly, "Is he really such a bad man as all that?" "Certainly not. You misapprehend me," answered Dr. Swallow. "The 'h' stands for heaven."

PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS. Used Quite Extensively as Dispatch Carriers in the Armies of Continental Europe. Nearly ever European motion has realized the usefulness of the pigeon, Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Italy and Portugal have their military pigeon posts. It was the Franco-German war that first opened the eyes of military authorities to the possibilities of this method of sending messages. During the siege of Paris no fewer than 150,000 official dispatches were sent by pigeon post, as well as 1,000,000 private messages and 190,000 francs in postal orders. Photography was pressed into the service of this pigeon post, the messages being photographed on minute films, which were so light that a single bird could carry 30,000 words. It was calculated that if all the messages carried by pigeons during the siege had been written out LETTING THE PIGEONS FLY. an ordinary handwriting they would have filled 500 good-sized volumes. At the present time Germany is far beyond other countries in the military use of pigeons. There is a big loft at Cologne of about 400 to 600 pigeons, which is in direct communication with Berlin, and there are similar lofts at all the big fortresses. It is generally reckoned that 200 birds are needed for one section—that is to say, for birds required to fly in one direction only—and an additional 150 birds for each new section. Thus a loft of 500 pigeons is necessary for communication in three directions. In the case of siege, and allowing for accidents, military authorities regard an establishment of 200 pigeons as sufficient to keep up communication with the outside world for six months. The number of pigeons "tossed" for each message would be three, and this would allow for two messages a week for 26 weeks. It is the general opinion of most military authorities that 100 miles should be about the limit of distance which a bird should be called upon to fly; but in clear weather pigeons have been known to cover 200 miles at the rate of nearly 30 miles an hour. A noteworthy performance was that of four military pigeons which flew from Lisbon to Paris—a distance of 900 miles. The Germans have greatly improved the training of the birds. The men carry them on the march for many miles, so they can be used in actual warfare for carrying messages from the advance guard back to the base. The pigeons are carried by mounted men in a kind of breast pocket, while the men are also equipped with a folding field-cage. This cage is used when the birds need to be fed, or to give them a rest, and can afterward be folded up and carried on the back. The men grow very fond of their charges, and the birds in their turn become very attached to their military masters.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Many Millions for Labor. It is estimated that the recent increase in the pay of railroad employees throughout the United States affects 600,000 men, involving a cash outlay for 1903 of $38,350,000. BRIGHT INDIAN GIRLS. Quannah, Chief of Comanches, Has Two Daughters Who Are Thoroughly Civilized. Quanah's mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, was a white girl captured in Texas by the Comanches when on one of their bloody maurauding expeditions. She grew up in the Indian camp the idol of the tribe, and at an early age became the cherished wife of their chief, Nocona, father of the present chief, Quanah, refusing to return to her people when the opportunity presented itself in later years. The chief reveres the memory of his white mother, and contrary to the unwritten law of his people, possesses a handsome life-size oil painting of her, which hangs over the organ in the parlor of his comfortable home near Fort Sill, Okla., the home of the Kiowa and Comanche nation. In this modern twostory white house are to be found many 1970 INDIAN GIRL IN NATIVE DRESS, of the luxuries of civilization. In this instance also, the chief violates the customs of his people, who not only banish from sight and memory every reminder of their dead, but object seriously to dwellings built of timber. In short, they utterly refuse to live in the neat little two-roomed houses built for them by the government, and prefer their white-topped canvas tepees. I have seen numbers of these little red-painted government houses standing empty and neglected around Fort Sill, slowly falling to the ground, while near by a group of tepees loomed up against the rugged background of mountain. The picturesque Wichita mountains engirdle the Comanche alitments, and no more beautiful region can be seen in all Oklahoma. Chief Quanah is a wily old redskin It is said on the reservation that he "walks both roads"—the paleface road of progress and backward trail of the redskins. During his checkered career he has been so fortunate, or unfortunate, "as to acquire seven wives; this was according to the old ruling which permitted polygamy among the Blanket Indians, or Wild Tribes. But Uncle Sam has put his foot down on this practice, and from now on "Lo" will have to content himself with one wife only. Chief Quanah is the father of 30 odd children. Many of them are well educated, but the subject of this sketch carries off the palm among the Parker olive branches. Needle Parker, Quanah's daughter, is a quarter-breed Comanche, and one of the most beautiful and interesting Indian girls to be found among the Kiowa and Comanche Indians of Oklahoma. Her somewhat melancholy, though beautifully regular, features, show few traces of the stern, aquiline, Indian type, partaking rather of the soft curves of the distant Spanish strain inherited by the Comanches from their Mexican ancestry. Her complexion is pure olive, showing the Caucasian blood of her captive grandmother. Her name, Needle, leaves one to infer that either she is an adept with the needle of civilized womanhood, or acquired her peculiar name (after the manner of these Indians.) because of some incident connected with her birth in which a needle played a conspicuous part. Offtimes a child's name is altered in after years on account of some marked personal characteristic. Perhaps this young woman with the melancholy Spanish beauty showed marked talent for needlework and so obtained her name. She has a sister who rejoices in the more civilized name of Laura. This more progressive daughter of the chief is assistant cashier in the bank of Indiana, while yet another, who "walks the paleface way," is teaching school. The chief's eldest son, Walter, a graduate of Carlisle, and a very promising young man, died a short time ago, a victim of that dread destroyer of the Blanket Indians—consumption, to the great grief of the old chief, who is devoted to his children, and is a father as well to all his tribe. To his home, the "white house" of this little nation, they flock to seek his advice in weighty matters, his house being truly the Mecca of the Comanches—Florence B. Crofford, in Farm and Home. Bright New Coon In Town. A novel sight was seen the other day which attracted much attention in Bath, Me. A young woman from Wilton was in the city and had as a fellow traveler a bright looking coon, which was perfectly tame, allowing his owner to carry him about as one would a kitten. The coon was captured six months ago and weighs 14 pounds. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY. Entered at the postoffice at St. Louis at.o. as second-class matter. Published Weekly by J. W.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper pub- lished in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denounc- ing crime regardless of conse- quences. The St. Louis Palladium is sold at the following places: 2617 Lawton avenue. 209 South 15th street. 1208 Wash street. 2652 Lucas avenue. Charleston, Mo. West Plains, Mo. 3104 State street, Chicago, Ill. Notice. All who are connected with the Paladium MUST send their weekly reports so that they will reach the office on Wednesday morning. They are also requested to report each week. Sumner High School The graduating exercises of Sumner High School attracted thousands of people, as usual. A literary programme interspersed with musical numbers, held the attention of the vast audience throughout the entire evening. The intelligence displayed by the graduates, intellectually and musically, was very highly appreciated, as was demonstrated by the repeated encores given each graduate. The manner of delivery of the orations and essays was excellent in every respect. The musical numbers were especially interesting. Each succeeding year the graduating exercises of Sumner High School display the benefits derived from a course through that institution. Each member of the Class of 1903, has, as a token of his school days, a class pin with the initials of the school and the year of graduation engraved upon it. This has been the first class in recent years that has had a class pin to commemorate its graduation. Each one who attended the exercises of the Class of 1903 carried away the predominant idea that the wisdom of the young graduates could have been derived but from one source, aud that, "Ex fonte scientific." Prof. O. M. Waring desires to inform the public that he will be in his office at Summer High School during the vacation, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. Dumas' Closing. Dumas School had a very excellent closing, June 12, 1903, and marked the expiration of one of the most successful in the history of the school. CITY NEWS. Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events, Deaths, Marriages and Births--Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. The article on the Belleville lynching edited by the "American Eagle" last week proves the writer to be lacking in words to express his thought. While everyone agrees in a sense with the thought inferred in the article, the candid language used in some parts of i are shocking in the extreme. The common law of decency should deter the writer from such lewd expressions as he has given vent to. The Old Black might get a Webster's Dictionary and place by his side to assist him in his endeavor to appear (?) wise. We had abandoned all criticism of the Old Man, but for the benefit of the public, we must demand that he respect the laws of common decency. The Provident Hospital and Training School is here to stay, and you must give it a boost by attending its outing. Headquarters for the National Grand Lodge are located at 2'49 Chestnut street. Don't forget the St. Louis Orphan's Home outing to Montesano Springs, Monday, June 22. Boat leaves Olive street at 9:30 a.m. and returns at 6 p.m. Don't forget 1911, 1923, 2108, 2120, 2135, 2220 and 2326 Market street. You must go there. They want to see you and your friends. Mr. Wm. P. Dye's Buffet, 2801 Manchester avenue, is the place to rest your weary head by taking good cigars and beer. Mr. A. Smidts, who keeps a saloon at 2042 Market street, has moved to 2108 Market street, where he will be pleased to welcome you and your friends. Yes, Jim Ray has opened and is doing a good business at 2135 Market street. Remember the Odd-Fellows at Ofenstein's Grove, Monday, June 22. "A Night in the Woods" will be given at Jones' Chapel, on next Monday evening. A grand opportunity will be given to spend a pleasant night in the woods. Mrs. Mary White, of 200S. Fourteenth street, is quite sick and has been confined to her bed for the past three weeks. Mr. John McMurray, who holds the title of "The Prince" of the famous graduating class of this year, was heartily applauded by all the spectators. Mr. McMurray will soon enter the postoffice service. Miss Maudell Brown is due much praise for her wonderful playing and reciting. The Music Hall held the largest crowd that ever attended the graduating exercises. Miss Nadine Douglas and Mr. J. E. Mitchell were united in matrimony at high noon on June 16th. H. W. Sexton and R. M. Mitchell. These two gentlemen are graduates from an art and drawing school—Mr. Sexton from Cleveland, O., in 1895; Mr. Mitchell from the art and drawing school in 1892 and S. A. Calman. These experienced gentlemen now have a study at 2605 Lawton avenue, and the collection of their drawing has excited the most sceptical mind which proves their wonderful genius. It would be well for any person to call at their studio that they may be convinced that they are truly two great artists, and their work will commend them to the lovers of oil paintings and art in every particular. Of course, most persons have their doubts as to the genuine work by them, but if you will visit their studio you can see them with brush in hand at work on some of the most difficult picture, you will then be convinced of their profession. They invite you to call and see for yourself at 2605 Lawton avenue. Miss Vella Crawford of the Senior Class of 1903, carried off the honors at the exercises held at the Music Hall on the night of June 15th. Mueh credit must be given Miss Crawford for her reciting and the singing of the wonderful song, entitled "Inflammatus." Miss Ocarscenia E. Jones, of the class of 1903, read her essay, entitled "The Ship of the Desert," in elegant style. Miss Jones is worthy of much praise. Master Willie Curtis, of Chicago, Ill., formerly of St. Louis, will graduate from the Eighth Grade of one of the largest schools in that city. Although eleven years of age, young Curtis will graduate from that institution with honors. St. Peter's, A. M. E., Elliott and Montgomerv; Rev James Madison, pastor. St. James, A. M.

Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave forty-five years; he passed through the civil war in the commissary department, rnd since that time, through friends, he has secured several good positions; in 1881 he was employed by the late Hon. John W. Turner, Street Commissioner under Mayor William L. Ewing, then under Hon. D. R. Francis, who was Mayor of St. Louis. For the past ten years he has been a patient sufferer; not being able to do any hard work, yet he was always willing to do something for a living. He is now a newsdealer, selling papers; by that means he makes a fair living. He sells the St. Louis Palladium, and if you wish to help him, you can do so. Remember he cannot get out, but you can get the St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house--209 South Fifteenth street. Mrs. Sciota Green will give a party in honor of Miss Vella Crawford on June 20th. Messrs. J. Myron Crawford, W. D. McKoin and J. C. Watkins will leave on a fishing trip next week. The excursion of the First Baptist Church to Pacific, Mo., last Sunday, was quite a success. At 3:00 p. m. services were held in Pacific. Rev. J. W. Muse preached a very able sermon. Rev. Cole also made a few remarks. His reference to the flood was very interesting and appropriate. The trains arrived at St. Louis at 7:30 p. m. Services were held at the church at 8 o'clock. Rev. Cole is a wide-awake preacher and all should follow. --- BIG SUMMER SALE. BRADBURY PIANO CO. THE GREATEST VALUES EVER OFFERED. ER, mager.

Vegetables That Are Said to Aid Health and Produce a Good and Clear Complexion. Girls who value a good complexion and cheerful spirits are advised to eat plenty of spinach. It contains salts of potassium and iron and other wholesome ingredients. The iron in it is easily assimilated. A vegetable not generally made much of by housewives because it is among the less expensive kinds, it is put in first place by the food experts and deserves more prominence in public esteem. People troubled with poor memories are urged to eat mustard. The seed of the mustard plant is credited with very quickening, livening properties said to have direct influence on those brain cells that have to do with forgetting and remembering. Nervous folks ought to partake often of cheese, which acts as a sedative. They should beware of eating cheese to excess, however, as it is a tax on the digestion. Only moderate consumption is efficacious. A too steady diet of potatoes induces fatigue of both body and mind. Apples are now held to contain much sustenance for the brain and to have an exhilarating effect on the spirits. Apples contain phosphorus and also malic acid, which is most beneficial for people under mental strain or who habitually do work which prohibits exercise. The apple should not be munched between times, but taken as a component part of the regular meals.—N. Y. Sun. ENJOYS OUTDOOR LIFE. Julia Marlowe, Queen of American Stage, Spends Much of Her Time in the Open Air. Miss Julia Marlowe's outdoor diversions are golf, driving and automobiling. She does a prodigious amount of walking all the year round. Her love of nature is almost primitive in its intensity. Asked once what was her greatest ambition, she said it was to "lead such a normal life that I can get up every morning in time to see the sun rise." Often she will dismiss her carriage and revel in facing wind and weather on foot. An acquaintance accompanied her from her hotel to the theater one March night in the teeth of a driving storm. The sidewalk was MISS JULIA MARLOWE. like the bed of a mountain stream, and the winds made umbrellas a sarcasm. She enjoyed every step of the walk and reached the theater in a gale of laughter and high spirits. It is this abundant vitality, this capacity for getting fun out of things which annoy or bore most people that give a compelling charm to her art, and a rare, sweet vivacity to her personality. For a time Miss Marlowe had a house of her own in New York city, but this she has now given up. Her only home is her country place in the western part of the Catskill mountains. This she called "Highmount," and from the windows of the house there is a glorious view of a dozen mountain peaks. The house is a large one of colonial architecture, a part of which, the brick terrace, the theater-going public saw reproduced on the stage without knowing the fact, for the first tentative rehearsal of "When Knighthood Was in Flower" was given on the brick terrace on to which the main living-room of her house opens. This terrace was so effective for grouping and for exits and entrances that the architecture of it was copied in the reproduction of a Tudor brick terrace which forms a part of the stage setting in the first act of the play. Her estate consists of 400 acres, and only the smaller part of her large estate is laid out in lawn, garden and driveways. That portion of her possessions which she has with admirable taste allowed to remain wholly "unimproved" is by far the greater part of the estate. Still in its original wildness, it is criscrossed by mountain streams, cleft by deep ravines, and overgrown with a network of vines and forest trees that have never known the woodman's ax. Here the happiest hours of Julia Marlowe's life are spent, and thither she goes immediately her professional work ends for the season, which is usually toward the end of May, and there she remains until the end of September.

Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston Who Was White House Mistress Under President Buchanan. The recent serious illness of Mrs Harriet Lane Johnston, and the announcement that she will this summer visit various American resorts in an effort to regain her health, has again brought into the public eye one of the most interesting feminine figures in American history. So quietly has the famous niece of President James Buchanan lived in Washington during recent years that the general reading public has had opportunity to realize that a place is yet occupied in the social life at the capital by a woman who was the most noted of antibellum days, and the greatest of all the belles of the white house. Mrs. Johnston has, since the ascension of President Roosevelt to the nation's highest position, been several times prevailed upon to assist in the dispensation of hospitality at the white house, and there is a particu- MRS. HARRIET LANE JOHNSTON. lar appropriateness, since Harriet Lane Johnson is, with the single exception of Dolly Madison, the only woman who, while serving as first lady of the land, entertained anything like as extensively as Mrs. Roosevelt. While there are many points of similarity between the social methods of Harriet Lane Johnston and Mrs. Roosevelt, both having delighted to entertain at the white house the masters of achievement in the worlds of politics, art, literature and science, as well as their own personal friends, the conditions under which these two women have served as hostess at the executive mansion could not well be more divergent. Throughout the entire Buchanan administration feeling ran high, owing to the gathering of the storm which later broke in the civil war, and it was only by her possession of a magnificent personality, combined with rare grace and tact, that Mrs. Johnston was enabled to keep the social atmosphere of the white house free from those clashes of sentiment which pervaded every branch of public life. The particularly notable event of Harriet Lane's regime in the white house was, of course, the visit of the then prince of Wales, now King Edward, of England. The British royal family has never ceased to seek means to manifest its appreciation of the kindness which Miss Lane showed to her royal guest, and upon the occasion of her visit to England during later years she has been made the recipient of every social attention. Particularly via this the case last year, when she was one of the specially honored guests at the coronation. The queenly young mistress of the white house quite captivated the prince of Wales not less by the elaborate dinners and receptions which she gave in his honor at the executive mansion than by the charming comradarie spirit which she manifested when she danced with him on the deck of the United States steamer Harriet Lane, returning from a visit to Mount Vernon, and the teasing which she administered when later she ignominiously defeated the prince in a bowling contest. Of late years Harriet Lane Johnston, who suffered a double bereavement in the early death of her husband and son, has lived in a quaint old house in the fashionable section of Washington. The house is filled with interesting art object and souvenirs, among which are the handsome engravings which were sent to Harriet Lane by the prince of Wales after his return to England. These pictures were the cause of some controversy when Miss Lane, at the conclusion of her uncle's administration, removed them from the white house. A portion of the public and a number of newspapers declared that they had been sent as a gift to the American nation and should remain in the presidential mansion, but the British government hastened to send a letter explaining that they had been designed as a personal gift to Miss Lane, Mrs. Johnston's household at the present time consists of only herself and her niece, Miss Kennedy.-Waldon Fawcett, in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

To noblest thoughts and aspirations high, The calm, sweet strength of souls that watch and pray. To light and peace and joy that cannot die He is the Way. He is the Truth. The world has doubt and sin, And to our seeking can no answer give, But who know Him hold our souls within The grace by which we live. In Him are all things that the hungry heart Of human life can ask in age or youth; Who walks with Him is from the world apart, He is the Truth. He is the Life-a life that knows not death Or fear or darkness in this transient clay. But has its birth where God illumineeth His own eternal day. Life whose unmeasured deeps of love profound Are never troubled by this dark world's strife. Life whose surpassing bliss no thought can bound, He is that Life. --L. M. Montgomery, in Congregationalist. A FALSE STANDARD. Guard Against Making the Dollar Mark the Measure of Your Success in Life. The great tide of prosperity which has been sweeping over the continent, Canada and the United States, is likely to leave as a legacy the settled opinion that money is the measure of greatness; that only the man who "brings things to pass"—by which is meant the accumulation of money—is the man who has succeeded in the real sense of the word. That it is a wrong notion, that it has already resulted disastrously, in its effect upon young people, is easy to be seen, declares the Baptist Union, if one listens to the average conversation, or notes the changes that have come over people who aforetime were simple, devoted people, of sterling worth, of modest habits, of ardent zeal for the kingdom of God. The utilitarian measurement is applied to everything. The attack on education, from the high school pupil to the university graduate, is the outcome of the financial measurement of things. Education is put on one side of the scale, and money is placed on the other; the gross hand of greed presses upon the money side of the scale, and for a time education seems lighter. Such questions as: What can a high school graduate do, or a college graduate do, or a university graduate do? are directly related to the utterly false idea of the age—which makes the dollar mark the measure of life-achievement. It is aptly illustrated on a title page of a medical almanac I saw lying on a post office desk, the other day, out in a country town. It was a finely engraved cover, with the words: "Successful men of to-day," up in one corner; the central picture was a young lad working with a hoe, in connection with which these words were printed: "How — earned his first quarter." The name was that of perhaps the richest man in America. I suppose the inside of the book was full of other pictures of other successful men, which, according to the suggestion of the title-page, was the making of money. This kind of literature is flooding the world; it is read by every school boy; it is suggested by some of the magazine articles which appear regularly in high-class publications. The air is charged with it; and we are saying to the great body of youth to-day: Success is measured by the number of figures after the dollar mark. What are its effects as we see them to-day? The spirit of money-getting never possessed people as it does to-day. It is not the habit of thrift; money-making does not always indicate thrift, for thrift implies honest working methods, whereby a man honestly earns that which he receives. But the present spirit is not thrift—it is the spirit of grasping after that which costs little in the way of effort. Indeed, one of the most "successful" men of today said recently that a man could get rich on a salary. Just what he meant is not clear; perhaps a definition of riches from his standpoint would be interesting. While in a certain sense it is true that "millions" cannot be made by a "salary," it is also true—and the truth should be put before every young man and woman in the world—that "millionaires" do not represent the rich people of the commonwealth. Indeed, the safety of society to-day depends upon the people who are not rich in the sense just mentioned. The day of calamity is here when the dollar mark is the measure of success; and it does not need a pessimist to say that that day is here. Perhaps some reader will discover his photograph in the following outline. It is a composite description of a number of cases which may be found in any church or community in the land. Here was a young man, an employee; he was making fair wages, and opening up avenues for "extras" which added considerably to his income. His devotion to church work, his zeal in the kingdom, his positive growth in things which made for a spiritual character, were beautiful. By and by he entered into business for himself; he became an employer. Of course days lengthened into nights, and he became much engrossed in his business; all of which was proper, save that one could see that another motive seemed to possess him; he became a money-maker. While he was the first to deny it, unconsciously to himself he made the dollar mark the measure of his success. It required no special insight to discover the change which came over his religious life, and the work he formerly did; to some extent he followed the old path, but in an entirely different spirit; a sense of honor was his, but a sense of love for the things which formerly possessed him was gradually disappearing. One could see that he came to his religious engagements in a perfunctory manner; when his work was done, it was done. He left it until he came up to it the next time. Singularly, he seemed to blame other folks for lifelessness in the work which had been intrusted to him; but he did not see that it was his own fault. One trembles at his prosperity, for the dollar-mark is the measure of ideals; that he will stoutly deny it has no bearing on the case whatever. This is no plea for poverty; there is not one religious qualification in being poor; the Bible does not exalt poverty to a virtue; those who take "vows of poverty" can find no defense for it in the Scriptures. The Bible does not say that riches are sinful; it simply points out the danger which riches involve; they that will be rich fall into divers snares. It is the paralyzing effects of greed that are emphasized in these warnings. But riches may be great blessings to those who possess them, both for their own development and for the good they may do. The man who said that it was a sin to die rich did not draw his conclusions from the Bible; if his riches were honestly gained, he did not need to be ashamed if he died rich—provided, also, he was rich toward God. If his riches were not honestly gained, there could be no virtue in giving all away just before his death—Heaven does not reckon on much the money gifts of men, save as those gifts represent love for the needy and for the Master who said: "Inasmuch." No man can atone for a life of double dealing by an old age of philanthropy. It seems unnecessary to try to answer the question: What should be the measure of success? for the reason that we all know it; and that to enlarge upon it would be like preaching —which is always out of place in a newspaper article. Yet the old truth may be emphasized: The measure of greatness is goodness; character marks the achievement of a man whether he has a dollar or ten thousand. The dollar mark has nothing whiteaer to do with a successful life. That is commercial heresy, of course, but I will risk it. I know a mother who lived a successful life, who died without a dollar; I know any number of such mothers who could rank with an archangel in purity of motive, who died poor. And as for fathers, the world is full of struggling old men, who are poor, whom men call failures, who will stand in the first rank in the kingdom, where dollar marks are not weighed in the final judgment. None of us can afford to make a dollar at the expense of anything but thrift; none of us can afford to make money at the expense of love and devotion to God, of service in the kingdom. To a merchant, as well as to a mechanic, the words of Jesus apply equally: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." Let no man excuse himself by saying that he will give himself to money making to-day, and to the service of the kingdom to-morrow. That to-morrow never comes. The "kingdom" must be first to-day. Whenever anything else is first, a man is on the wrong road. And in the measure of his earnestness and devotion to his earlier days will be the grief to heart-breaking in the later days, when he sits down to contemplate the dollar mark, which has swallowed up everything else in his life.

That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 18. I charge the therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus the Christ, Who judge, the Lord Jesus the head at His appearing and His Kingdom: 2. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine; when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they抱 to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 3. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables 5. But watch thou in all things, endure affliction, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my mission, to give the faith: 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing.

It is not the soldier who knows only the barracks and parade ground who takes the most satisfaction in his military career, but the one who has been in bitter battles and upon toilome marches. Paul had the experience of the fighting soldier. His life was menaced with plots, he was beset by mobs, dragged before magistrates, scourged, imprisoned, stoned and endured hardships both by sea and land. His final words were those of an exulting conqueror. To feel as he did when expecting to die by the sword, one must be able to say with him, "I have fought the good fight, and I have finished the course, I have kept the faith." The story of the book of Acts breaks off suddenly, leaving Paul in prison. The facts of his later life are very uncertain. Many scholars believe that he was executed at the close of the imprisonment of the last lesson, and that the second letter to Timothy was written within a few weeks of that to his old friends at Philippi (studied January 11). Most, however, think that Paul was released and had complete freedom for five or six years, was arrested a second time, condemned and beheaded, and that it was during this second imprisonment and just before the final trial that this letter to Timothy was written. The letter is studied here as giving us the last word from the great apostle. It is, as Bishop Lightfoot has said, "Paul's last will and testament." "Knowing of whom thou hast learned them:" A Christian mother and grandmother (1:5). "And that from a babe:" The training of the Jewish children in the Old Testament Scriptures began at the age of five. "The sacred writings:" That is, the different books of what we call the Old Testament. "Make the wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus:" Paul claimed that the Old Testament pointed men clearly and distinctly to Christ Jesus, the Jews' Messiah and the world's Saviour. "Every Scripture:" "In the 50 places where this word occurs in the New Testament it means the Old Testament."—R. F. Horton. "Inspired of God:" The revised version gives the correct reading. The old version that "all Scripture is given by inspiration" while true is not the correct rendering of this passage. Every God-inspired Scripture (and Paul was unquestionably thinking of the sacred writings of the Hebrews when he spoke) is profitable for teaching, etc. "Furnished completely unto every good work:" The knowledge of God and His gradual revelation of Himself and His will to men found in the Old Testament is, says Paul, a very important part of the spiritual equipment of the man of God. "I charge thee:" A solemn charge from the aged apostle to the young Christian just at the beginning of his work. "The Word:" The Gospel truth of salvation from sin through Christ. "In season, out of season:" That is, all the time. "For the time will come:" It had probably begun when Paul wrote. "Having itching ears:" Listening not for the sake of profiting by the Gospel truth but for diversion or amusement—following religious fads. The world is still full of those who are ready to run after the newest counterfeit religion. "Suffer hardship:" The experience of Paul had shown him that the life of the missionary pastor was not an easy one. "An evangelist:" One who evangelizes, that is, preaches the Gospel. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Punishment is not permeative. Punishment is not persecution. We should abide in the truths that we have learned, knowing of whom we learned them—sain'ed mothers, etc. Fortunate is that one who has known the Scriptures from a babe! They will ever light one's pathway. The Scriptures are not for comfort merely, but to equip one for work for God and for man. There is still such a need of workers! To accomplish much we should work in season, out of season.

MEN IN OFFICIAL POSITION Paul Desmukle, of Amphion, Tex., who was recently elected justice of the peace, is without arms, but performs wonders with his feet. With them he handles a knife and fork with dexterity and writes with ease. For six months he was county clerk, kept the records accurately and they are models of neatness. James E. Burke, recently chosen mayor of Burlington, Vt., is a blacksmith. When notified that the supreme court had decided his election legal—it had been contested by the republican candidate—he was in his shop shoeing a horse. He finished his job before making any reply to the congratulations of his friends. The New York World asked young Gov. Beckham of Kentucky to communicate to it (and the public) his plans for putting a stop to the feuds. He telegraphed back: "When you succeed in evolving a real good plan for successfully stamping out sin and crime in New York please let me know what it is and I will try it in Kentucky if necessary."

"I believe that there is no work in the world that makes such machines of men as does the business of waiting in some of these 'quick lunch' eating places," said the business man. "The branks of the waiters seem to work like phonographs. What they hear in the way of ords given them seemingly registered and reproduced without any apparent mental activity or realization of exactly what the order means. The other business man is the waiter, the dialogue and monologue in a Park Row restaurant. Two men seated at the same table gave their orders to the same waiter," relates the New York Times. "Bring me a couple of soft-boiled eggs and a cup of coffee, said the first man. "Same thing for me, waiter," said the second, adding in a jocular way: "but be sure the eggs are are." Allly! "And a moment later his voice came from the back of the restaurant: 'Soft-boiled for two—an have two of 'em fresh!'" A Maryland Wonder. Upper Cross Roads, Md., June 15th.

I was troubled a good deal with my water — had to get up four and five times with and once more I can rest the night through.

Female Weakness is Pelvic Catarrh. Female Weakness is Pelvic Catarrh. Always Half Sick are the Women Who Have Pelvic Catarrh. Catartr of any organ, if allowed to progress, will affect the whole body. Catartr without nervousness is very rare, but pelvic cattr and nervousness go hand in hand. What is so distressing a sight as a poor half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symptoms of pelvic cattr? She does not consider herself ill enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. Seedman-You know, na'am, you don't have to plant your potatoes whole; you can cut them up in small pieces. Mrs. Newmarket-Yes, I know; that might do very well if we always wanted to raise potatoes for Lyonnaise or for mashing; but we should probably desire to have potatoes served whole, now and then.-Boston Transcript. Uncle Reuben says: After de world has once reuben a man a chance an' got a line on him he may protest all day dat he am no liar without changin' anybody's opinion.-Detroit Free Press. Relieve heart palpitation, sleeplessness, headache, nervousness, dizziness. Doan's Kidney Pills are now recognized as a known remedy for kidney, bladder, and urinary tract infections and cure when despair shadows hope. The free trial is an open door to self proof. Her View of It. BAXTER SPRINGS, KANSAS I received the free sample for five years. I have had much pain in my back, which physicians say arose from Doan's kidney Pills. Doan's Kidney Pills have entirely cured the trouble. I Pills, and I want others to know it." SADIE DAVIS, Baxter Springs, KANS. MALMOUTH, VA. — I suffered over twelve months with pain in the small of my cheek. My doctors gave only temporary relief. Doan's Kidney Pills cured me." BROWN, VA. Thank Pe-ru-na for Their Recovery After Years of Suffering. Miss Muriel Armitage, 26 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says: "I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel for the sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me. "I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist and take it regularly. I thought this was the least I could do and procured a bottle. I knew as soon as I began taking it that it was affecting me differently from anything I had used before, and so I kept on taking it. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day."—Miss Muriel Armitage. It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with a disease that can be permanently cured. Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should be taken to effect a cure. 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 advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Every child born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffering, but because of the dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence, it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest and most effective treatment available, viz. The Cuticura Treatment. SOLID FACTS!

The St. Louis Patriarch Auxiliary Club was given a reception by Mrs. Cheatam, at the residence of her brother, Mr. Walker, of 1237 Poplar street, last Friday. The members of the Club are the wives of the venerable Patriarchs of this city. These noble women have organized themselves into a club for the purpose of aiding of the old and helpless members of the Patriarchs. On last Friday it was Mrs. Cheatam's turn to entertain the Club, which she did in a very elaborate and entertaining manner. The parlor and dining-room were beautifully decorated and all members and visitors received a welcoming smile from the hostess. Among the visitors were Misses Floyd Messler, Conning Diggs; Mrs. McDowell, McBride; Messrs. Floyd, Booker and Dr. W. S. Brabham. Mrs. Canal, the President of the Club, acted as Mistress of Ceremonies. Short speeches were made by Mrs. Floyd, Booker and Dr. Brabham, after which the guests were invited to the dining-room to partake of refreshments. All enjoyed the rich reast. The reception was an enjoyable one and will always be remembered by the guests with pleasure and pride. Antioch Baptist Church. Services were well attended last Sunday. The meeting was quite a success spiritually and financially. Rev. Pruit, of Little Rock, filled the pulpit. His sermon was very logical. All felt themselves to be highly benefitted. The Missionary Circle will meet in their regular monthly meeting Sunday, June 21, at 1:00 p. m. All members are requested to be present. The church will have a grand rally some time in July. The members have formed into clubs working toward that end. In Jail in Boston. Some years ago a man by the name of Sharp published a paper in this city, called "The Industrial Times." He cut quite a dash with the men and women of this city. He fleeced the city and state by getting subscribers and advertisements and failing to carry out his promises. The St. Louis Palladium hinted then that he was on his way to the pen. He left here and went to Denver. He was compelled to leave there. He went to California, than to Boston. He is now in jail in that city. The moral is: "Your sins will find you out." We have always found that prosperity attends those who go slow, but build firm.
