St. Louis Palladium

ST.LOUIS PALLADIUM LAURENCE BURKE Vol. XIX. No. 44. A DEFENSE OF PROVIDENT HOSPITAL. After reading the article, written by Dr. Brabham, in last week's issue of The Palladium, I take the liberty of writing my opinion of the stand which the board of directors has taken in the affair. As I understand it, the controversy between the two gentlemen is purely a personal one, and, therefore, wish it to be understood that I write, not to defend either of the principals, but the most INJURED party—the Provident hospital. If Dr. Brabham apologized, as he was requested to do, what more could he be asked to do? Why should his patients suffer for the want of hospital attention, simply because he is not on friendly terms with one of the board members? Why should the hospital be deprived of the funds which those patients would pay, because their doctor had an encounter with a member of the board? Remember, it takes two to make an encounter, no matter who is in fault. I don't think the hospital should recognize this unpleasant mistaken as to its identity. I have always thought it to be a PUBLIC institution—an institution that would admit all sick persons, excepting those afflicted with a contagious disease. Now, if this is not a PUBLIC institution, but one maintained for the accommodation of a few physicians of the city, why is the PUBLIC called on to help it in its struggle for existence? and it is a member of the "Woman's club." and "Young Ladies' Aid No. 1," both auxiliaries to the hospital, and when we give an entertainment for its benefit, we invite the general public to attend. The only recompense we can offer is the promise of the privilege of paying for the use of one of the COTS in said hospital. It seems to me, if it were not for the interest that Dr. Brabham has in the welfare of the hospital, his manly pride would not allow him to humble himself before the board of directors, by begging its permission to allow his patients (who form a part of the public that will attend the Charity ball, Harvest hop, and the different entertainments given by Aid Nos. 1 and 2, for the hospital), to enter therein. I do not write this as an attack on anyone, but as an appeal for the reconsideration by the board of directors of their action in this matter. The hospital is young, and needs every patient that it can accommodate. Respectfully, MABEL O. STORY. Graduate Nurse, Provident Hospital, Chicago. NEWS FROM NEWPORT, ILL. Newport has experienced another Sabbath of quietude, though during the week one or two of the rougher element were shot. Mr. Ples Holly, a league member, has a nice little home here, which his family seem to enjoy. He has worked and bought this home since his return from Cuba as a soldier. His wife is a lady that can place before a hungry man clean, palatable and appetizing food. School was in session 21 days in September, 1903. Boys enrolled, 22 girls, 22. Total, 44. Grand total number of days attended by both sexes, 475 days; but it should have been 924 days, had regular daily attendance been obtained. But, alas! the poor Colored children of Newport, many of whom are without books, lost about one-half of the school time, with ample law to prevent this, if the Madison board of education would only appoint a truant officer, as requested by the Booker Washington league. Average daily attendance, 23. Should have been 40. Twenty-six tardies. Mr. Editor, the night the committee waited on the board of education for the purpose of requesting the appointment of a much-needed truant officer for Newport, I said: "I will not call her a baboon beauty, for it will not be polite." An old woman who had been running her foul mouth about me all over the community was told by one of her gang that I called her a monkey. Next morning, without asking me anything about it, she followed me about the streets, calling me all kinds of bad names, for which I had her arrested. She was fined $3 and costs in Edwardsville, Saturday, September 10. Her lawyer begged that the fine and costs be remitted, though she was to be reprimanded with a command not to disturb me again. She came right back into Newport, and nas reported all over town that Wilhite had the costs to pay; that she was advised to beat the devil out of him, and that the jurge said: "You yellow dog, if you ever come to Edwardsville again I will send you to fail." I think now she will pay both fine and costs for violating her promise to the judge that she would let me alone. You know that when Colored people undertake to better themselves morally, they have the vote-seeking, common, white element to fight. So it is here in Newport, whose moral, intellectual and religious standard we are trying to raise, is awfully retarded because the corrupt element is encouraged by some common whites. The Marble Heart. We take pleasure in presenting to the public the opening of The Marble Heart, at 1911 Market street. The spacious dining-room and concert hall are in the rear of the Gem. Mirrors line the hall on three sides of the spacious dining room, with 16 chairs. A beautiful inlaid linoleum covers the floor. East of this hall is the kitchen, in the care of a proficient cook, who will supply you with any dish your heart desires. This spacious hall can be reached without coming in contact with the rougher class, by entering the front hall that leads to the room. Music nightly in the concert hall. Those who desire to participate in the music concert will be invited to take part. HUGH B. WHITE, Prop. 1911 Market MEXICAN BUILDING--WORLD'S FAIR "1904." ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,OCTOBER 17,1903.

Farris is now in Milwaukee, where he was married to his third wife by a justice of the peace, after a minister of his own race had refused to perform the ceremony. In pronouncing the sentence of expulsion, Bishop Grant said: "A man with more than one wife is unfit to preach the Gospel, and there is no place for him in the ministry of the African Methodist Episcopal church."

FALSE NATURALIZATION. An Organized System in Vogue in New York to Prostitute American Citizenship. New York, Oct. 15.—Under an organized system Italians newly arrived in the United State have been supplied with false naturalization papers for registration purposes, according to Deputy State Superintendent of Election Maher, who has caused the arrest of five men. Mahon alleges the prisoners confessed they had never been in the court which purports to 1903 OCTOBER 1903 SUN. MON. TUES. WED. THUR. FRI.

A two-edged law which will not please either unfair employers or unfair employees. Both boycotting and blacklisting are made statutory offenses for which suitable punishments are provided. At a convention of women over in Germany the other day it was declared that corsets and jewels were barbarous. They will never get them abolished, however, until society can be convinced that they are likely to be productive of large families. Mr. Roberts, treasurer of the United States, says that "good fortune has added to the gold in the treasury vaults from the close of August, 1898, to September 1, 1903, $333,380,295, or very nearly $50,000,000 a year on the average." No other nation ever approached such an increase of treasure. Mr. Rockefeller says he is tempted to go on the platform and tell the people what religion has done for him. Before taking that step Mr. Rockefeller should let religion do a whole lot more for him. The showing he could make at present would not be deeply impressive to the consumers of oil. Kansas City Journal. The geologists and cartographers employed by the Saxon government have completed a map at a cost of $1,000,000. It is on a scale of one to 25,000 and is in 123 sheets. It shows the topography, geology and water supply, exactly outlined, of every part of the kingdom of Saxony in a manner hitherto, it is said, unapproached. Annie Rooney, a young woman of good character in Seattle, Wash., has adopted the uniform of a United States marine and declares her intention of wearing it instead of the skirts in which members of her sex usually enfold their persons. The police say there is no law which will prevent her carrying out her purpose, as she does not seek to disguise her sex by wearing the habiliments of man. A census of Rush county, Kan., shows that every man in it, with the exception of 15, raised some wheat this year. The 15 were laborers on the railroad and around the towns. Each business man and merchant in the county had wheat out. Every business man at LaCrosse harvested more than 1,000 bushels each. A total of 700 bushels for every man, woman and child in the county was raised. An original writer on "Municipal Problems" says that one reason Chicago and St. Louis have been badly governed is because they have a "rube" population; that is to say, the people that compose them came from small towns and villages and they don't readily take up, comprehensively, big city affairs. Nor do they know what cliques are running the city, or where their own precinct polling place is located, and they feel generally helpless and considerably like strangers all the time. The number of deserters from the army continues to be large. Gen. MacArthur reports 1,344, or more than 20 per cent. of the enlisted strength of the department of California, during the last fiscal year. He cannot give any reason, as the men are better fed, better paid and better treated than those in any other army. But the opportunities for profitable employment are better in this country than in any other, and many of those who enlist get tired of army life and the chance of successful escape leads them to desert. Religious statistics of the German empire, according to the recently tabulated results of the census of 1900, show that $62\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of the population are Protestant, and almost all members of one or another of the various state churches, and numbering in all 35,213,104. The Roman Catholics number 20,321,441. Of Greek Catholics there are 6,472, and of 'other Christians' 103,792. In the whole German empire there are only 586,833 who register themselves as Jews—fewer perhaps than in the borough of Manhattan, New York. A shrinkage in stocks is not so exhilarating as a bubbling boom, but it has advantages of its own. For many years we have been fed on tales of suddenly-acquired wealth, end of the mad extravagances of its possessors. We have heard how Jones has cleaned up $50,000,000 by combining ten factories worth $1,000,000 apiece into a $100,000,000 trust, and how Mrs. Jones buys her diamonds by the quart without asking the price. The strain is beginning to relax now. Some gigantic fortunes have been wiped out: others have been cut in two. Missouri State Gleanings. ```markdown ``` Why Missouri Stone is Better. In stone for the manufacture of cement, as well as in building stone, Missouri excels all other states. Up to within the past year it has been thought that Lehigh Valley cement manufacture had found the bottom in cost of cement manufacture, but now Comes Pike county with figures and experience which show that greater possibilities are found there. Portland cement is composed of silica, alumina and carbonate of lime. In Lehigh valley 72 per cent. of the total output of the United States has previously been secured. There a natural rock in which silica and alumina already combined in substantially correct proportions, with varying amount of carbonate of lime, is found. All that is necessary is to add more carbonate of lime, obtained from limestone. These two rocks are simply ground and poured into the rotaries for burning dry. In Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and other states, at great increase of cost of production, marl is used instead of rock, from which to obtain the necessary silica and alumina. The "wet" burning process is thus necessarily employed. By that process the cost is more, and production possibility diminished one-half. The Lehigh cropings are exciled by Missouri stone, for the reason that there is less dross in the latter; and, in the second place, because the limestone, and the stone containing the other elements employed, are there found widely apart. Along the bluffs of the Mississippi river, in this state, the two stones are found adjacent, and can be handled by gravity. One plant, with a capital of $1,500,000, is now being erected at Louisiana, and within the next few years the full length of bluffs along the Mississippi will be under the horness of the cement manufacturer. Bad Wreck in Kansas City. Bad Wreck in Kansas City Three men were killed and three others injured, one seriously, in a collision between Missouri Pacific and Frisco freight trains in the switch yrids in Kansas City. The dead: A. L. Johnson, Missouri Pacific switchman; John Murphy, Missouri Pacific switchman; George Kirkpatrick, flagman. Injured: Will Austin (negro), compound fracture of leg, which will be amputated; R. H. Braht, Missouri Pacific engineer, rib broken; J. E. Ward, severely bruised. The Frisco train was standing on the crossing when the Missouri Pacific train ran into it, turning over a freight car. This car fell over on a crowd of men on the other side of the Frisco train who were waiting for it to pass. The engineer of the Missouri Pacific train says that he got a signal to proceed across the crossing, but it is believed that he momentarily lost control of his engine. R. H. Braht, who was injured, was the engineer of another Missouri Pacific freight which was waiting for the Frisco train to clear the crossing. He had left his engine and joined the other railroad men near the Frisco train when the car was pitched upon them. A. Short Strike: A strike was called on the Missouri building at the St. Louis World's fair grounds, but after being out 48 hours, the men returned to work, a satisfactory agreement having been effected. The trouble originated with the electrical workers, who demanded $5 a day from contractors in charge of that work. The demand was refused, and, upon the strike of these men, the contractors personally took their places. A general strike was then called by the labor confederation, and the 60 men at work on the building walked out. Contractors announce that the Missouri building is almost three-fourths completed. Remarkable. But True. That the cash prizes offered in the live stock department of the Louisiana Purchase exposition aggregate almost 30 per cent. more than the total premiums of 12 leading state fairs and the international and American royal shows combined, might reasonably be doubted by experts in such matters, but such is the case. The cash prizes in Chief Coburn's department of the World's fair are $55,300 greater than those offered by the largest 14 live stock shows of the United States in 1902. Colo Younger Case Dismissed. The criminal case against Cole Younger, in which he was charged by the Younger-James wild west show management with embezzling some $6,-000, was dismissed, in the circuit court at Nevada, the state's attorney refusing to prosecute. The money in question was ordered paid into court under a civil proceeding. Hugs at $15 Per. Mashers in Joplin must pay $15 a hug, according to the decision. Judge Barrett rendered when three young men, A. J. Long, Pete Lee and 'G. J. Judd, were fined for hugging Mrs. May Williams on the street. Mrs. Williams, who is a pretty young woman, told her story in court, and none of the young masherns denied the charges. Met the Usual Fate. Frank Harwood, of Kansas City, tried to separate two belligerents, and was taken to the city hospital in an ambulance, having a cracked skull. Struck Cool. The Platte County Oil Development Co., while boring for oil at Prairie Point, 11 miles south of Platte City, bored through a thick vein of coal. Post Office Receipts. Kansas City's post office receipts for September were $104,763, $13,947 more than last year. St. Joseph's receipts were $18,656, an increase of $108. A Big Transaction. A transaction which involves a million dollars and embraces not only the sale of one of the oldest lumber companies in the west and the incorporation of a new company for the purpose of the transfer, but the introduction of a new force in the lumber trade of the north and southwest, has just been completed in St. Louis. Knapp, Stout & Co., which has been in existence in St. Louis for the last generation, has been purchased by the newly incorporated Wilson Iron & Lumber Co., of Wisconsin. This company has just been incorporated under the laws of the state of Wisconsin. Peter E. Wilson, who was the treasurer of Knapp, Stout & Co., is the president of the new organization and Philip D. Wilson, his brother, is the vice-president. All the remaining stockholders are in Wisconsin. Peter E. Wilson said: "All there is to say about the purchase is that the new company has taken over the entire business of Knapp, Stout & Co., for which we have organized and incorporated the new company. "We paid in round numbers $1,000,000 for the equipment of the old firm, which included its yards at Salisbury and Hall streets, comprising from thirty to forty acres of ground and 25,000,000 feet of lumber. The new company will be one of the largest in the country, and will, we think, be able to materially improve on the past records of the lumber trade." The headquarters of Knapp, Stout & Co. were in Menominee, Wis. While the new company is also incorporated in Wisconsin, its officers are residents of St. Louis, and its main offices will be in that city. An Agricultural Wonder. That Missouri is the best all-round state in the country will be fully demonstrated at the World's fair in the agriculture exhibits as planned by H. J. Waters, superintendent of agriculture of the Missouri World's fair commission. "The show will contain everything useful," says Mr. Waters, "from spring wheat, which is a northern product, to cotton, an inhabitant of the balmy south. Within the wide range of these bounds is included every grain and grass worth growing. It will encompass corn from Knox county, where the ears take position at the middle of the stock, eight feet above the soil; wheat from the Missouri river bottom, where the soil is so deep that it is practically unfathomable; blue grass which rivals and surpasses the product that graces Kentucky fields and alfalfa from Penisco, where it grows six feet tall and yields the grower nine times the worth of his land every year. Prospective Groom Arrested. Robert Menefee was arrested by Sheriff S. D. Bowen while he was trying to secure a license at Palmyra to marry Miss Bertie Gilker. The couple eloped from Hannibal to Palmyra, and were at the courthouse when Menefee was taken into custody. The prisoner was taken back to Hannibal. A charge of carrying concealed weapons was preferred. The warrant was issued on information of John Gilker, father of Miss Gilker, who alleges that Menefee shot at him. The shooting is alleged to have occurred over the objections of Gilker to the marriage. Monument to 'Gene Feld. A monument commemorative of the life and works of Eugene Field, the child's poet, who came into fame while a resident of St. Joseph, will be erected by the school children of that city. Those in charge of the movement aver that they have received such encouragement as to warrant the statement that the monument is assured. Neck Broken by a Fall. James Purse, a farmer, was found dead at a spring in a pasture west on Hannibal. Investigation developed the fact that in a drunken stupor he went to the spring after a drink, and, stumbling over a timber, fell and struck his head on a rock, breaking his neck. Was Determined to Die. John Scott, an old resident of St. Clair county, attempted suicide by cutting his throat. He afterwards plunged a knife blade into the top of his head, breaking a portion of the blade off. There are no hopes of his recovery. The act is supposed to be due to financial reverses. Loyrein Succeeds Donohue. James Donohue, assistant general passenger agent of the Frisco system, with office in Kansas City, has resigned, and will enter into other business. He will, it is said, be succeeded by J. C. Lovrein, district passenger agent at Joplin. Forger Gets Two Years. Frank Rupenthal, the forger, who was arrested in St. Louis and taken to Steeville by Sheriff W. R. Taff, was arraigned in court there, and entered a plea of guilty, and was sentenced by Judge Woodside to two years in the penitentiary. Apple Failure. The Missouri state board of agriculture reports that apples are falling all over the state, and the Ben Davis croj will be nearly a total failure. A Difficult Problem. The River Improvement congress is in session at Kansas City, trying to solve the flood problem of the Kaw and Missouri river valleys. Woman Made Coal Oil Inspector. Gov. Dockery has appointed Mrs. Mary J. Wade to be coal oil inspector of Bates county. She succeeds her deceased husband. ARCHBISHOP J. J. GLENNON One of the Most Interesting Figures in the Roman Catholic Church. Becomes Archbishop of the Diocese of St. Louis Following the Death of Archbishop Kain. St. Louis, Oct. 15.—Most Rev. John Joseph Glennon, who becomes archbishop of the diocese of St. Louis following the death of Archbishop Kain, is one of the most interesting figures in the Roman Catholic church in America. Although only 41 years old, his success in his chosen field has been little short of remarkable. He will be the youngest archbishop on the continent of North America, and one of the youngest, if not the youngest, in the world. His youth, his perfect health and his ability make him a formidable candidate for still higher honors in the heirarchy. Bishop Glennon was born in County Meath, Ireland, of aristocratic Irish parents. He was educated at All riallows' college, Dublin university, and came to this country 20 years ago. He worked under Bishop Hogan of Kansas City for one year, when he was admitted to the priesthood and made assistant to Father Dunn, then pastor of St. Patrick's church. In 1887, three years after his admission to the priesthood, Bishop Glennon, in order to better acquaint himself with his duties as a prelate of the church, made a tour of Europe. He made an extended visit in Rome, was received by Pope Leo, and when he returned to this country, one year later, he was made assistant pastor of the cathedral Parish in Kansas City. From this position he was elevated to the pastorate, then to the station of vicar general, and later coadjutor to Bishop Hogan, which office he held when selected as coadjutor to Archbishop Kain. ASKS KRATZ' EXTRADITION. Gov. Dockery Has Made Formal Request of Secretary of State Hay For St. Louis Boodler's Return. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 15.—Gov. Dockery Wednesday afternoon made a formal request on Secretary of State Hay for the return of Charles Kratz, the fugitive St. Louis boodler, who flee to Mexico following his indictment in connection with the Suburban railway franchise bill. The papers in the case were presented by Circuit Attorney Folk. Mr. Folk said he had requested this action of Washington authorities, but desired to have the governor make a formal demand, so there could be no possible misunderstanding. These papers were sent to Washington, and it is believed that President Roosevelt will ask the Mexican government to surrender the fugitive. WHERE WOMEN ARE SCARCE.

SON FINDS BODY OF MURDERED MOTHER Woman is Murdered and Robbed in St. Louis County, Mo. BULLET FIRED INTO HER BRAIN Mrs. William Lauman Meets Death in a Lonely Spot While on Her Way Home From St. Louis—No Clew to Mystery. St. Louis, Oct. 16.—Mrs. Kate Lauman, wife of William E. Lauman, of Normandy, St. Louis county, was murdered and robbed by an unidentified person or persons Wednesday night while on her way home from a visit to St. Louis. The murderer used a revolver, and the bullet penetrated the temple just above the left eye. The crime was committed some time after 6:30 o'clock, but the exact time has not been determined, as the circumstances surrounding it are as mysterious as any with which the city police or county authorities have ever had to work. The body was found Thursday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock by Roy Lauman, a son of the murdered woman, as he was driving home from a business trip to St. Louis. It was lying on the east side of the Lucas and Hunt road, in a clump of bushes. That there was a struggle before Mrs. Lauman died there is little doubt. Her chattelaine bag, in which she carried her money, had been forcibly torn from her belt. Clutched tightly in her right hand between her index and middle fingers was a small twig that she is supposed to have gotten in the brush on the side of the road while grappling with her assailant. She wore a black silk glove, which was torn in a jagged manner in several places, which could have been caused from brush. Dragged Into Bushes. The body is supposed to have beer dragged into the bushes after the shooting. It was placed with the head to the north, in such a position that the ordinary passerby would not see it. It was lald by the side of a wire fence, a strand of which had been torn off to make a hole large enough for the mudderer or murderers to crawl through and get into a wooded pasture on the east, where there would be no possible clew from footprints that might have otherwise been made. The only sign of blood was a space about two inches square around the bullet wound. This was also powderburned, indicating it at the fatal shot was fired at close range, probably while the struggle was going on or just as the unfortunate woman might have succeeded in breaking away from her assailant. Mrs. Lauman had about $80 in money, which was taken. In addition, a gold watch valued at $90 and three rings valued at about $35 have disappeared. A pair of gold nose glasses attached to a gold chain was left on her person. Wound Resembles McCann's. The body was not moved from the side of the road until after six o'clock Thursday night, when a telephone message was received from Coroner Koch at his home in Des Peres, saying that he would hold the inquest this morning at 7:30 o'clock. The body was then taken home. Until the arrival of Detective Cabanne, Lauman thought his wife had been killed with some blunt instrument. The officer soon dispelled this idea and declared she had been shot. The hole above the left eye was very small and resembled in a marked degree the wound found under the eye of James P. McCann, who is alleged to have been murdered at Bonfils stance June 18 by Frederick Seymour Barrington. Husband Offers Reward of $500. Mr.Lauman authorized the announcement of a $500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the murderer or murderers. At his request a letter was written to Gov. Dockery asking that he also offer a reward. Another request will be made of the county court at Clayton for a reward. SHOT BY HIS OWN WIFE. Lamentable Result of a Midnight Hunt Through Their Home For a Burglar. Chicago, Oct. 16.—While searching for burglar, Wednesday, Herbert L. Butler, of Austin, was shot and seriously wounded by his wife. The couple had armed themselves, Butler with a revolver and his wife with a shotgun, and gone into different parts of the Butler residence. Later, upon discerning the outlines of a person in the darkness, the wife opened fire, and her husband dropped to the floor in agony. It developed that there were no burglars in the house.

GOLDEN TEXT - Create in me a clean heart, O God - P. 51.10. NOTES AND COMMENTS (2 Sam. 9.) One of the many indications of David's generosity and true-heartedness is found in his kindness to Mephibosheth, the crippled son of his friend Jonathan. An ordinary oriental monarch of David's time would have exterminated the family of the former king, root and branch. David did not do so, but sent across the Jordan to Lebar, where Mephibosheth was living in concealment, and brought him to Jerusalem with great honor, restoring to him the rich lands of Saul which had been confiscated, and added him to the constantly increasing number of courtiers who enjoyed the king's favor and lived more or less at his expense at the court in Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 11—12:25.) David stood the tests of adversity better than those of prosperity. Ease and luxury were beginning to tell on his character. Instead of leading his armies into battle as formerly, he now left them to Joab and remained himself in his harem at Jerusalem. The fact that in those days it was considered eminently proper for a king to have a harem did not matter that harem less demoralizing. The sad story of David's moral weakness was tempted, and then of his deliberate murder to conceal his sin and add another woman to his harem, is told in Chap. 11. "Thus far," says Aglen, "the story belongs to the usual crimes of an oriental despot . . . What follows, however, could have been found where in the ancient world but in the Jewish monarchy." When after the terrible year lived with a guilty conscience, the prophet Nathan again appeared before David to do the hard duty of a friend (12:1-12). David broke down completely, confessing his sin and repenting with a repentance that was really a change of life. Black as the sin had been, Jehovah forgave the penitent man, but the results of the sin troubled David's life to the end. (Ps. 51:1-5.) In connection with this story of the sin and repentance of Israel's greatest king, we study the marvelous prayer for pardon in the Fifty-first Psalm. It is not known who wrote this Psalm, but it fits David's circumstances so fully that many suppose it was written by him after the visit of Nathan. In its words the pennience and aspiration of those who have done wrong have found expression through all the centuries to the present time. Is there not a place for the confession and prayer of the first few verses in every Christian experience? The one offering the prayer has hope, but it is in God's loving kindness rather than in his own deserts. "Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned." The very natural feeling of the heart, whatever its sin, as it bows before the loving and righteous God to whom in its sin it been untrue. The Psalms are written in the language of the feelings "That thou mayst be justified." "By confessing my guilt I admit that Thy condemnation is just." (Vs. 6-12.) "Purify me with hyssop: "Pronounce me clean from my sin just as the priest pronounces the leper clean as he sprinkles him with the hyssop branch." "Gladness:" That comes only with a sense of sin put away and forgiven. "Bones . . . broken." "A very strong figure. denoting the most complete prostration."—Prowne. (Vs. 13-17.) "Then will I teach: No one can bring others to Christ more effectively than the one who has come close to God's fatherly heart in this experience of contrition and forgiveness. "Thy praise:" An expression of the joy that fills the heart of the prodigal after his return to the father's house. "Thou delightest not in sacrifice:" Nor in any other external thing in itself, but in a real, vital change of heart. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS One's sins may be very numerous, but the multitude of God's tender mercies outnumbers them. Confession and forsaking of sin are necessary in order to obtain God's pardon. "Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity." In cleansing from sin no one should desire half measures. The best thing is to be respected, and the next is to be loved; it is bad to be hated, but worse still to be despised. Pittsburgh Dispatch. St. Louis Palladium.

Mr. Kent, Mr. Morton and Mr. Pence were enjoying an afternoon nap, but they were quickly aroused and informed of the situation. Simon Pence was in an agony of terror. His knees sank beneath him and he was too agitated to speak. Not so with Mr. Kent. His fighting blood was up in a minute. "I will shoot that crazy dude full of holes if he or his men attempt to lay hands on me!" he exclaimed. He reached into his stateroom and produced a repeating rifle which he examined carefully and calmly. There were 20 rifles aboard the raft. In anticipation of possible trouble Capt. Baldwin had purchased a dozen guns at Vera Cruz. These were distributed among the men and the crew. Sidney Hammond was put a charge of the defense—if one should be necessary. The weapons were placed within easy reach and they waited the approach of the Shark," which was less than a mile away. The faces of the men were a study. Hardly a word was spoken. Their faces were flushed with anger, rather than pale with fear. In plain sight was the yacht which had held them captive for days. They viewed the "Shark" as a pirate. Not a man doubted that Hestor was on board, and that he meant mischief. How trim and sleek the "Shark" looked as her prow cut the waves of the gulf. Her brass work glistened like gold in the afternoon sun. On her forward deck was a glint of polished steel. Mr. Kent recognized it. "There is that rapid-fire gun," he said in an undertone. Mr. Morton bowed, but said nothing. Bernard Seymour examined his gun methodically. He ran his eye along the sights and studied the adjustment for distance. He spoke quietly to Sidney Hammond, received a nod of approval and went forward, taking a position near the bow of the boat. Capt. Baldwin whistled a signal that he would go to starboard. There was no answer from the "Shark." Again the "Helen Carmody" blow a warning blast. In answer the "Shark" ran up a flag signal asking the "Helen Carmody" to "lay to" Capt. Baldwin hesitated a moment. He then gave the word to the engraver to go ahead full speed. They had been running half speed, so as to avoid any chance of a collision. Capt. Baldwin gave a blast to indicate that he would pass the "Shark" to leeward. The "Shark" slightly changed its course, and went slowly ahead parallel to its rival, but gradually drawing nearer. As they came abreast the "Shark" was not 150 yards away. Those on the "Helen Carmody" could see Capt. Waters on the bridge. The crew was grouped on the forward deck. A tall, slender figure in yachting uniform suddenly appeared by the side of Capt. Waters. Sidney instantly recognized Walter B. Hestor, who raised a megaphone. His voice sounded sharp and clear. "Stand by! I wish to come aboard!" he shouted. "Is the Shark' in distress?" was the reply of Capt. Baldwin. "She is not!" shouted Hestor. The two yachts were so close it was possible to converse without a megaphone. "Stand off!" shouted Capt. Baldwin. "Stand off! You cannot come aboard. This is a private yacht, bound for New Orleans. Stand off, or I will run you down!" "Hello, there, Mr. Rockwell!" shouted Hestor, lifting his cap and bowing profoundly. "Did you have a good time? How are you, Mr. Morton? You are so tanned I scarcely recognized you. How do you do, Mr. Kent? Hestoria seems to have agreed with you! Hello, Sidney! Kindly tell your friends, Sidney, that I must have the pleasure of their company aboard the 'Shark' at once! They are disarranging my plans. Check your yacht and I will send a launch over after you. There is my old college chum, L. Sylvester Vincent! How are you, old chap! You look like the real thing! Nô nonsense about this, Sidney! Stop your boat, or I will stop her for you!" "You keep off our course!" shouted Sidney. "These gentlemen do not care to see you. Go your way and do not molest us. You will do so at your peril. Capt. Waters, that man is insane. You should put him in irons and take him to New Orleans. Are you the captain of a pirate ship? This is Mr. Carmody's yacht, with ladies aboard. We demand that we be allowed to proceed, and request you to do your duty and turn that man over to the authorities. He is a criminal or a lunatic." "I am, am I!" shouted Hestor. He dashed the megaphone to the bridge and leaped to the lower deck. Like a flash he jumped to the rapid-fire gun. Capt. Waters yelled an order. It was not finished when there came a spit of fire from the muzzle of the gun. Three of the crew dashed at Hestor. The same instant there was the crack of a rifle from the bow of the "Helen Carmody." A dozen bullets tore through the glass and mahogany sides of the forward deck house. Sidney Hammond fell to the deck. The "Shark" swung sharply to the starboard, and in a few seconds was speeding away to the east. It all happened so quickly that with one exception the men on the "Helen Carmody" were too dazed to make a move. The wheelsman sent the yacht hard to port. Mr. Kent was the first to reach the side of Sidney Hammond. There was a stain of red on his shoulder, and they tore and cut away the coat and shirt. As they did so, Sidney opened his eyes. He stared for a moment and jumped to his feet. "It is nothing!" he said, as he took a long breath. "It is merely a flesh wound. The shock dazed me for a moment. I am all right." Sidney laughed, but his face was white and the blood flowed freely from his right shoulder. The yacht steward—who was also a surgeon— MR. KENT WAS THE FIRST TO REACH HIS SIDE. examined the wound and declared it painful but not dangerous. He staunched the flow of blood and bandaged the wound. Sidney watched the fast disappearing. "Shark" during this operation. He set his teeth, and not a groan escaped from his lips. The dining-room was strewn with broken glass and splinters. Ragged holes had been torn in the decorations, and one shot played havoc with the china closet. Miss Carmody came up from below. Her face was pale, but she did not seem in the least alarmed. She proceeded to act as nurse for Sidney, and would not listen to his declaration that he was going on deck. Chalmers regretted he had not been shot. In the meantime the "Shark" continued on its eastern course, and the "Helen Carmody" neared the mouth of the Mississippi. It was seven o'clock in the evening when they took a pilot. Sidney was moved to the forward deck, and all gathered around him to discuss what had happened. "That was about as rapid a bit of work as ever I witnessed," said Mr. Kent, who had been slightly cut in the hand by a flying piece of glass. "Who fired the shot from our boat?" asked Sidney, with a slight grimace of pain as his shoulder twinged where the shot had lacerated a muscle. "It was the last thing I heard." "I fired it," said Bernard Seymour. "And I got your man Hestor all right. Did you see him drop?" "I did," said Mr. Morton. "His hands went up and he fell into the arms of two of his crew who were rushing forward to grab him." "Did any one hear the order given by Capt. Waters?" asked Mr. Carmody. "I heard every word he said," replied Miss Helen. "You did!" exclaimed her father, a frown darkening his face. "I asked you to go below, Helen, and supposed you would obey me." "I went below, papa, just as you told me to do," said Miss Helen, contritely. "But you did not tell me I could not look out. I opened the port hole in the saloon, and saw and heard everything that happened on the 'Shark.' When Mr. Hestor jumped from the bridge and ran to the gun, Capt. Waters shouted, 'Stop him! Hold him!' Then he yelled 'starboard!' to the wheelsman, and rushed down the steps to the deck. But before the men could stop Has- Sor, he had commenced firing. Then he threw his hands up in the air and the men caught him as he fell backwards. I thought I could see blood on his face." "This probably terminates Hentor's career as a pirate or a maniac," remarked Mr. Morton. "The government cutters will run the 'Shark' to cover in short order. You are quite a sharpshooter, Mr. Seymour." "I had my eye on that Hotchkiss gun all the time," said Mr. Seymour. "At first I thought Hestor was making a bluff to scare us. But when he turned loose I knew he meant war. If he had remained back of the shield he would have been safe, and I proposed to drop the man at the wheel and take a crack at the captain. But Hestor stuck his head out to see where his shots were landing, and I let him have it. I have shot some before. The Sioux Indians and I used to exchange compliments before the battle of Wounded Knee, and I guess my shooting eye is all right yet. But I hope I did not kill him." At midnight the "Helen Carmody" steamed up to New Orleans, landed near Canal street and discharged her passengers on their native soil. They at once proceeded to a hotel. Mr. Chalmers so managed the arrival and disposition of the party as to evade the alert reporters, and once in the hotel no one was allowed to disturb them. A surgeon was called and made a careful examination of Sidney's wound. He confirmed the diagnosis made by the yacht steward. He dressed the wound carefully, and advised Sidney to remain quiet for several days. It was late before Mr. Chalmers and his assistants had forwarded to "The Record" an account of this incident. Mr. Bernard Seymour arose bright and early the following morning, and after a stroll around the Lee Circle returned to the hotel and enjoyed a hearty breakfast. He purchased the morning papers, and selecting a comfortable chair on the veranda proceeded to combine the luxury of a cigar with a perusal of the journals in which his name figured so conspicuously. He was studying a three-column portrait labeled "Mr. Bernard Seymour, the Famous Newspaper Detective," when some one tapped him on the shoulder. "Haou are ye, Mister Seymour! I swan, I'm mighty glad ter see! Haou de ye dew! Haou de ye dew!" "Hello, Captain Parker! The pleasure is all mine! How are you, Captain? How is the good ship, the 'Sam Walker'?" "Finer'n silk," said Capt. Parker, as they shook hands cordially. "Well, I swan, but ye'r er great man; ain't ye? Your picter is in all ther papers. Well, well, well! I swan, ye never can tell, can ye? Who'd a thunk it? So ye are a detective-reporter! Well, well, well!" The Captain insisted on purchasing the cigars, after which they returned to the veranda. The good sailor seemed to have something on his mind. Once or twice he cleared his throat as if to make some important announcement. Finally he took a long pull at his cigar and said: "Mister Seymour, seeing as how ye air a newspaper man—though I never would a thunk it—dew ye suppose ye could get my name in the papers about this 'ere matter? I don't care a blamed thing about it myself, but my old woman is just plum crazy ter see my name in the papers. Darned if I don't believe she would be willin' ter have ther 'Sam Walker' wrecked if it would get my name in their newspapers. Fact! Dew ye suppose ye could fix it?" "Sure, sure thing," said Mr. Bernard Seymour. "It's already in The New York Record. I sent more than a thousand words about you and the 'Sam Walker' from Vera Cruz. I also sent a description of you, and they will probably have your picture. All the papers will copy it. You had better get me a photograph of yourself for use in a more consecutive story I am now writing." The delight of Capt. Parker was beyond expression. He nearly fractured Seymour's hand in his joyous clasp. "The old woman will be tickled plum ter death!" he exclaimed. "I have been sailin' 30 years an' nothin' has happened worth printin' until now. Haou much is 1,000 words? A column! Great Scott! Have another segar. Have a box of 'em. This is the greatest thing that ever happened ter the Parker family." Mr. Chalmers was asleep when a bell boy aroused him and presented a card. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and rebuked the boy in no equivocal language. Scrawled on a card was: CAPTAIN JOHN WATERS. "Tell him to come up at once," said Mr. Chalmers. Capt. Waters knocked at the door and entered the room. He bowed to Mr. Chalmers and stood by the door, refusing to take a seat. "The Shark" is anchored out in the river," said Capt. Waters without any preliminary remarks. "Mr. Hestor is in a hospital. He is in a bad way. He is shot and crazy. I want to tell you how this happened. I worked for his father before him. He saved my life and I would die for him or his son. I have known Walter since he was a boy. Lately he has been acting queer. He told me those men were political prisoners. I am used to obeying orders and having them obeyed. It was only yesterday that I learned the truth. On Thurx- day he sent a boat ashore at Mobile and came back with a lot of newspapers. He left one where I found it. Then I knew the facts. Hestor had told me we were going back to the place where we left these men. Of course I know now what he was after. He intended to meet you and stop you. Just as I was about to take matters in my own hands, we sighted your boat. I thought I would humor him. I intended to come to New Orleans and give him up, and stand trial if I have done wrong. He jumped from the bridge, as you saw. One of your men shot him in the head, and he is likely to die. He has not been right since we left New York. I tell you this so you will know the truth. I am going to give myself up to the authorities." [To Be Continued.] WHEN POE RECITED. First Public Appearance of the Well-Known Poet Netted Him the Sum of Si- Dollars. "It was at Mrs. McKenzie's that I first heard Poe recite, at her request, 'The Raven' and 'Annabel Lee,' only the family be present," says a writer in Lippincott's Magazine. "From an unusually lively mood he lapsed at once into a manner, expression and tone of voice of gloomy and almost weird solemnity, gazing as if on something invisible to others, and never changing his position until the recitation was concluded. It happened that he had just before requested of Mrs. McKenzie the loan of a sum of money, which request she was for a time unable to comply with; and she now said to him, Edgar, what do you think of giving a public recital of those poems? It would probably prove a financial success.' The result was that about a week later there appeared in the city papers a notice that on a certain evening the poet would give a recitation of his own two favorite poems in the exchange concert room, tickets to be had at a certain book store. Over 200 of these were printed, the charge of admission being 50 cents each. "On the appointed evening, I, then a young man of 24, accompanied Mrs. Julia Mayo Cabell and another lady, both warm personal friends of Poe from his childhood, to the place of the proposed recitation. We arrived some moments after the appointed time, and, to our surprise, found, instead of a full audience, but nine persons assembled, we, together with the usher, making thirteen in number. Some time elapsed before Poe made his appearance, when he took his place on the platform, bowed, and, resting his hands on the back of a chair, recited 'The Raven' and 'Annabel Lee,' but in a mechanical sort of way, and with a total lack of the weird and gloomy expression which had given them such effect at Mrs. McKenzie's. On concluding, he again bowed and abruptly left the platform. "The proceeds of this experiment was $6, in consideration of which, Mr. Boyden, proprietor of the exchange, would make no charge for the use of the hall, lights and attendance." How Tennyson Was Recognized. Things that impress some persons forcibly are not even noticed by others. An eminent Scotch surgeon and professor in the University of Edinburgh was entirely devoted to his profession. The poet Tennyson had at one time consulted him about some affection of the lungs. Years afterward he returned on the same errand. On being announced, he was nettled to observe that Mr. Syme had neither any recollection of his face, nor, still more galing, acquaintance with his name. Tennyson thereupon mentioned the fact of his former visit. Still Syme failed to remember him. But when the professor put his ear to the poet's chest and heard the peculiar sound which the old ailment had made chronic, he at once exclaimed: "Ah, I remember you now! I know you by your lung." Can you imagine a greater humiliation for a poet than to be known not by his lyre, but by his lung?—N. Y. Mail and Express. What the Little Lad Wanted: A little grandson of mine, living in Cape Town, when about three years old was taken to church, and the bishop—now the archbishop—was preaching. Growing tired, he said out loud: "Mother, I wishes bishop would go back to Heaven; I wants go home." Meeting his lordship some time afterward I told him this story, adding that I thought the child had paid him a very delicate compliment. The same boy had a little garden of his own, which was ravaged by neighborhood cats, large and fierce, of which Phil stood in great fear. So one night he added this petition to his usual prayers: "Please, God, send an angel to take care of my garden, and it had better be one that's not afraid of tomcat."—London Spectator. Wouldn't Work. In his lecture, "Love, Courtship and Marriage," delivered in the Lebanon Valley college chapel a few years ago, Rev. John Dewitt Miller, of Philadelphia, said that men should kiss their wives as they did when they were a year or two married. When the lecture was over an old man went home, put his arm around his wife's neck and kissed her. Meeting the lecturer some time after, he said, "It's no go." "What isn't?" said the lecturer. "Vel," said the man, "ven I kissed my wife she said. Vat's gone wrong mit you, ye salt fool, ye?"—Topelz Herald. ARNETT'S PLACE. GEO. S. WILLIAMS, Proprietor. JAS.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published 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 denouncing crime regardless of consequences. THAT OLD BLACK MAN. That Old Hypocrite, That Old Baptist, That Old Would-Be Methodist, That Old Democratic Cuss and Would-Be Republican. HAS SHOWN HIS HAND. Last Saturday evening the Old Black Man came running up to St. Paul chapel, yelling: "Here am de Eagle! Here am de only Negro paper that contains our bishop's picture! Here am de only Negro paper dat don't publish them saloon ads!" But as The Palladium had been out 12 hours before, and the members of the conference had read all the news, they did not need the Eagle—the paper that does not publish (?) saloon ads. So the Old Black Man, the conglomeration of cheek and ignorance, got left. The success of The Palladium has been due to its living up to the golden rule of doing unto others as you would be done by. It never back-bites. It comes out clear with all charges. It does not cater to St. Paul, First Baptist, Central or the Metropolitan, nor to men nor women. Its chief endeavor is to treat all as brothers and sisters, democrats or republican. The Old Black Man has to get up EARLY in the morning in order to best The Palladium. Notice! Notice! Several items were left out of The Palladium in our rush to the printers. The only account that we can give is to lay it on the printers' devil. Reproduce whatever it was, and we will see that it comes forth. NOTICE! NOTICE! The whereabouts of Miss Essie Robinson, of 815 Lucas avenue, is unknown. Her friends are much concerned about her. She left home three weeks ago, carrying nothing with her. She is only $16\frac{1}{2}$ years of age, but she passes for 18. We know, and shall give out certain things, if she is not found. If she is alive, write and say to her friends that she is. Otherwise The Palladium will make the hunt. Notice to You. We did intend to give to the public three or four columns of matter on the conference, but when we were informed that a certain woman preacher was denied dinner in a certain church, and in the denunciation of that preacher, OUR NAME was mentioned, we wish to serve notice UPON THOSE PERSONS and say we are ready to enter the battle again, and fear not the outcome. We know who you are, and who mentions our name. The Palladium never rings a backing bell. J. W. WHEELER, Manager. Manager. THE DONATION Of Saloon Proprietors to Provi- dent Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. G.

In Longfellow's beautiful “Evan- xeline” there is a line that deserves both yemembrance and study, says Philadel- phia Young People. That line has wis- dom in it and it springs from the sure experience of life. We have found it so. Its thought enters into the prose and the poetry of our daily living. In the poem, Evangeline is made to say, “Whither my heart has gone, there follows my hand and not elsewhere.” ‘The hand follows the heart. The heart stands for love. The hand stands for work, Where goes the heart, there fol- lows the hand. When the heart utters itself, the mouth gives out the words. Tt Is not true that one may Lave in his heart what never comes out into the life. ‘When one is found doing a certain kind ‘of work continually, it will be found that love holds to the work. When one is ‘seen often in certain kinds of company, you may be sure that he loves that com- pany. ‘The heart colors the words. It shapes the acts. It gives the motive. It starts themovement. Itbrings the result. The mouth and the hand will tell on the heart. You cannot hide permanently what Is deepest in your heart. It will come out and speai for Itself. Jesus ‘sald, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” The Scriptures declare that the love of God moves him in his thought and work for humatlity. Jesus was continually seeking human Tove. “If a man love me, he will keep my commandments.” Because the hand follows the heart, Jesus sought to hold ‘the hearts of men. Be careful where you center your heart, Do not learn to love what you do not wish to be your choice work or company. If you wish to be considered as good or better than you are, learn to love the work and company that are better than you are. In loving the bet- ter, you will grow like it. The hand fol- ows the heart. /GVEDS THAT WILL GROW. Sweet hope that cheers the heart bears company. And proves the nurse of age.

Christian joy is an experience of great depth and solemnity. It, never over- looks the sadness and stetuness of life; it is never shallow or unrefiecting, 1t 1s restrained, tender, sympathetic, confi- dent. We know it when we see it in the face of any whom we love; it helps us. =R, J. Campbell. Now the basest thought possible com ‘cerning man is, that he has not spiritual nature; and the foolish misunderstand- ing of him possible is, that he has or should have, no animal nature. For his nature is nobly animal, nobly spiritual —ecoherently and irrevocably so; neither part of itmay, but at its peril, expel, de- eplse or defy the other.—Ruskin, SOUL GROWTH. The Formation of a Wise, Jast Happy and Christian Character in Slow. Werk. tuse of sozls of a good quailty is the first business of @ great republic.” Now, souls of a good quality are not manufactured, but grown, says Newell Dwight Hillis. If we should distin- guish between seuls of bad quality and souls of good quality, we would say that these latter are wise, just, happy, self-sufficing and Christian. ‘The man is wise—toward all truth in books, in nature and in life. ‘The man is just—his feot run along those high- ways of law that God has set up for the soul's progress. He is happy—that is, he is in harmony with his own record, his conscience and hie God. He 1s self-sufficing—that is, he is equal to all the emergencies of life, and with a surplus of strength he thrusts his broad shoulders under another's bur- den and carries that in addition to his own. But all these signal qualities are growths; they are not suddenly thrust upon men. Indeed, Christ's every par- able regarding the Christian life is one that interprets it as a growth. ‘Te kingdom of character is a seed. But the wild grass rows into the rich barley. The wild thorn becomes the s22 rose, that is doubled. The wha orange, bitier and acid, becomes the range that is seedless and full of sugar. And the kingdom of heaven is planted in the soul as a seed and slowly grows and expands to its full size and fruitage. Another figure that was used to In- terpret the growth of character is architectural. Character 1s a noble Duilding; it is based on the body, in- ced, as a marble palace has founda- tions that rest in ihe mud and go down to the rock. How beautiful is the fiz: ure! What a ital is reason! What a gallery, full of pictures of the past, 1s memory! What decorated walls are ta be fond in the chambers of imagerr' How do housewives fill their garrets, 4ust under the roof, with all manner of cast-off furniture and old garments! But tke upper story of the soul fs lke a glass observatory. Often faith stands in its lower of observation and hope forecasts far-off and future things. No marble mansion was ever erected in a night save in fairy stories. Little by little the materials for a great build- ing are brought together. Slowly grows the soul, Each thought ts a nat, each habit is a pillar, each noble mem- ory of friends beloved ts the face of an angel found in the frescoes on the wall, Slowly the soul's house is furnished nnd adorned and oft the Stranger Divine is a guest welcomed and knocks ing at the door. To this rich figure Christ adds a third, when he likens the Christian life to an education. It was as if he had said: “The church is my school. you are my pupils. life is a great lecture-room. foy, sorrow. love, work, victory, defeat, temptation, books, death—these are the life teachers.” | ‘To make the soul great—this is the purpose and aim of the Christian life, for individual worth is the very zenius of Christianity. One great soul is more influential for inspiration and en- couragement than a million lesser ones, just as one Shakespeare can do moré for the world than 2 million penny-a- liners, God saves by a few.

A Sceming Disaster May Lead Ux to Better Things Than We Have Previously Known. Seeming calamities turn oft often to be our greatest blessings. Loss of health has frequently compelled the overambi- tious to cease work and enabled them to acquire strength that they otherwise would not have enjoyed. Loss of posi- tion and business have often compelled people to move to new locall- ties and begin the struggle of life anew under conditions that proved to be better for themselves com- mercially, intellectually and epiritually. Such experiences are often providential. ‘They are like the story that is told that, during the siege of Sebastopol, a Russian shell buried itself in the side of a bill without the city, and opened a spring. A little fountain bubbled forth where the cannon shot had fallen, and during the remainder of the slege afforded to the thirsty troops, who were stationed in that vicinity, an abundant supply ot pure cold water, Thus the missile of death from an enemy, under the direc- tion of an overruling providence, proved an almoner of mercy to the parched and weary soldicry of the allies. Do not be disheartened if calamity comes. ‘That may be God's opportunity to do with you greater things than you had ever belfeved possible.—N. W. Christian ‘Advocate.

No. 4 shows an interesting trial of the accuracy of the eye. Place achairat one end of a room and then let some one walk rapidly towards the chair, his right arm held stiffly in front of him. As he passes the chair he will attempt to snap off a cork balanced on the back of the chair. Nine people out of ten will snap at least an inch to high. The way to suc- ceed in-hitting the cork is to quietly get close enough to the chair to make a mental note of the exact button, wrinkle or seam in your clothing which is exactly ‘on a level with the cork. It is then an easy matter to hold your hand at just the right height as you approach the cork. Diagram three shows an experiment in which the feminine sex easily outclass all masculine rivals. Lhave never known more than one or two boys who could successfully regain their ‘equilibrium after taking the position shown; but at least two girls in every three can do it quite readily. Measure back three of your own feet from the wall of aroom and place a chair between you and the wall; then bend over the chair until your head rests against the wall, Now raise the chair and attempt, without moving your feet or touching the chair to the floor or wall, to regain your upright position. Any boy, unless he differs materially from the rest of his sex, will find that the thing simply can’t be done. I suppose the relative size of the feet has something to do with the success which usually at- tends a girl in this experiment. The extra weight which a man carries in the shoulders may also have something to do with it. Diagram number six shows some fun with one of the broomsticks. Place one end against the angle formed by the wall of a room and ask some friend to pass his body under it without lifting his feet from the floor, He will naturally face the wall in his undertaking, and in this position it is next to impossible to get MICE RAN THREAD MILL. How a Thrifty Scotchman Made Com- mercial Use of « Couple of Little Rodents, ‘Think of a thread factory being run by mice! This seems like the beginning of a fairy story, yet it is not. Scotch people, as you perhaps know, are noted for their thrift, and one of the thriftiest Scotchmen who ever lived was David Hatton, of Dunfermline, who actually proved that even mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind, could be made not only to earn their own liv- ing, but also to yleld a respectable in- come to their owners.

LACE MOUSE RUNNING THREADMILL. fermline for the manufacture of thread —a mill worked entirely by mice. It was while visiting Perth prison, in 1812, that Mr. Hatton first conceived this remarkable idea of utilizing mouse power. In an old pamphlet of the time, the Curiosity Coffee Room, he gave an account of the way in which the idea dawned on him. “In the summer of the year 1812,” he wrote, “I had occasion to be in Perth, and when ‘inspecting the toys and trinkets that were manufactured by the French prisoners in the depet my attention was attracted by a little toy house, with a wheel in the gable of it ihat was running rapidly around, impelled by the insignificant gravity ‘of 4 com-aon house mouse.

This is also an excel- lent way to practice the bend back which fs so essential to any kind of tumbling. The first time I tried to climb around a stick, as shown in diagram seven, 1 seemed to me that even a professional contortionist could not possibly extrl- cate himself from such a snarl without dislocating every joint in his body. ‘The feat, however, is not really difficult for a boy who is at all supple. Grasp the stick firmly, leaving two and a half or three feet space between thehands. You can easily judge of the distance best suited to you after the first trial. Slip your left foot over the stick, put your head under your right arm and then the test will come. If your back and shoul- ders are flexible they will allow you to carry the stick on around and to finally draw your right leg over without letting go of the stick. It is rather unlikely that you will succeed in doing this the first time you try, but a little practice will make the performance quite easy. Good practice in limbering the shoul- ders is to be had by grasping the stick with the hands, perhaps two feet apart, and then without loosening the hands raise the stick over your head and bring it down across the back. Gradually re- duce the distance as your arms and shoul ders become more pliant. In trying the positign shown im dia: gram number eight be sure that tht chairs are well braced so as not to slit from under you. I have known men whe would let me sit on their chest while thes were iz this position, but any boy may be satisfied simply to hold it without any additional weight. ‘Remember that the boy who fs con- tinually getting hurt is not the boy whc wins the confidence of the home ruler: or the admiration of his comrades.

Enclosing it in a handerchiet ‘on my journey homeward, I was com. pelled to contemplate Its favorite amusement. But how to apply halt. ounce power, which is the weight of a mouse, to a useful purpose was the difficulty. At length the manufac. turing of sewing thread seemed the most practicable.” Mr. Hatton had one monse that rar the amazing distance of 18 miles a day, but he proved that an ordinary mouse could rin ten and one-half miles, on an average. A halifpenny’s worth of oatmeal was sufficient for its support for 35 days, during which time it ran 736 half miles. He had actually two mice constantly employed in the mak- ing of sewing thread for more than a year. The mouse thread mill was sc constructed that the common house mouse was enabled to make atone- ment to society for past offenses by twisting, twining and reeling from 100 to 120 threads a day, Sundays not ex- copted. ‘To perform this task the-little pedes- trian had to rua ten and one-half miles and this journey it performed with ease every day. A halfpenny’s worth of oatmeal served one of these thread mill culprits for the long period of five weeks In that time it had made 3,350 threads of 25 inches, and, as a penny was paid to women for ev- ery hank made in the ordinary way, the mouse, at that rate, earned 9 pence every six week, just one farthing 2 day, or seven shillings and six pence ayear. Taking six pence off for board and allowing one shilling for machin- ery, thefe was a clear yearly profit from each mouse of six shillings, Mr. Hatton firmly intended to apply for the loan of an old empty cathedra in Dunfermline, which would have held he calculated, 10,000 mouse mills, sufficient room being left for keepers and some hundreds of spectators, Death, however, overtook the inven- tor before his marvelous project could be carrfed out—Cincinnati Commer. cial Tribune. ‘The Origin of Our Flag.

Twenty Inches Quite Enough and More Than Twenty-Two Not to Be Endured. Since it has been decreed that the shall-waisted, short-hipped figure is the only one acknowledged by fashion, the necessity for tight-lacing, writes a lady correspondent, has become imperative. Corsets are worn—often at night as well as all day—which press the waist line in and down to the hips, so that, instead of showing a long, slight curve, they may be forced into short, round curves. Women who wear these corsets live in a kind of torture, and the pressure in time sets up serious internal complications, including heart disease and lung trouble. To such an extent has the evil grown, it may be mentioned, that at a certain famous modiste's orders for gowns from ladies whose waist measurements are over 22 inches are delicately, but firmly declined. "We dare not risk our reputation by gowning any but the most fashionable women," explained the principal recently, "and no woman with a large waist can look well in a frock designed for one who has cultivated the short-hip figure. So if a customer comes to us wearing the old-fashioned style of corset, and does not seem inclined to conform to newer ideas, she must go elsewhere for her gowns. "We have heaps of customers whose measurements are three and four inches smaller than they were last year, and in almost every case this is due to the tight-lacing demanded to acquire the new figure. Quite young girls are the worst offenders, and I am quite sure we have not made a gown this season for a debilitate whose waist measurement exceeded 20 inches." Until women are brave enough to defy fashion the evil will doubtless grow instead of lessen, and the practice will continue to add appreciably to the death roll and fill the incurable hospitals with women who have ruined themselves for the sake of a small waist—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Putting the Baby to Sleep. Putting the Baby to sleep. "I had tried everything to make my little one sleepy at the right time," said one of the progressive mothers, "and all to no avail. He simply would not sleep when I put him to bed. I had to forbid the 'romp with papa' after dinner, because it seemed to wake the boy up so thoroughly. I tried rubbing his feet and putting a hot water bag in the bed on cold nights. I tried feeding him just before taking off his clothes. Nothing had any effect on his excited nerves. Then the doctor suggested a remedy that worked like a charm. Taking off Jack's clothes, I sponged off his spine in hot water, beginning at the neck and passing down slowly and gently, and so over and over again. I kept the water as hot as could be borne, and continued the treatment until the skin was red. Then the back was dried gently and the child put into bed. Either the gentle downward stroke or the hot water had a soothing effect on the nerves. Anyway, sleep was sure to follow. A week or two of this treatment will usually effect a permanent cure."—Chicago News. How to Renovate Bronze.

Don't over-manicure the hands, or they will become so tender as to be easily reddened and roughened. Don't wash the hands oftener than necessary, and dry them thoroughly after every washing. Don't neglect the palms of the hands. They need attention as much as the backs of the hands. Rub an emollient—perfumed honey is good—into the palms with thumb and forefinger. Don't neglect massaging and kneading of the hands, in order to secure good circulation, which helps to keep the hands white and make the skin pliant. Don't forget to pinch the ends of the fingers now and then. This will do a good deal toward making the fingers taper. Don't polish the nails too highly, or they become so brittle that the slightest contact with anything hard breaks them down to the quick, thereby causing intense pain. Don't file or scrape the nails; either process only helps to thicken them. They should be rubbed down with the very fine emery and cinnabar powder, which is used for polishing shell and ivory. Don't allow the nails to remain long soiled with anything that will stain them. Don't always use a nail polisher or buffer. Once in awhile try polishing the nails on the palm of the hand. Don't trim the nails to sharp points. If there is anything that will set the teeth on edge it is to shake hands and feed a slight graze from such claws. It is feline. Don't always use scissors to trim the nails; a file is better to round off the edges. Nothing tends to injure the nails so much as persistent trimming with a pair of scissors. Don't think that one rule applies to all finger nails. No two sets of nails can be treated quite alike, not alone because of their texture, but of their formation. To trim some nails overmuch renders them thick and ugly. To leave others too long uncut increases their tendency to brittleness. Don't wear rings that are too small. The inevitable result is disfigurement from red and swollen hands and knuckles. Don't wear gloves stitched with colors. They make the hands look larger. Don't wear gloves that are a size too small or that fasten too tightly. This prevents free circulation and makes the hands red. Don't think the appearance of the hands a trifling consideration. A beautiful hand may be even more fascinating than a beautiful face, and nothing more strongly marks the person of birth and breeding.—Washington Star. Setting Colors in Fabrics It is impossible to tell whether a color is fast before washing, but by far the safest plan is to "set" the color before it goes to the tub for the first time. One of the best methods of settling delicate colors consists in simply making a strong brine of cold water and salt and soaking the garment from 12 to 24 hours. Of course this should be done just before going to the laundry, and the salt should not be allowed to dry in it. This is especially good for all shades of pink and green, and colors once set this way will be bright as long as it would be possible to expect it. A strong solution of alum and water is good, particularly with blue, and the more delicate shades of brown, but its effect is not so lasting as that of salt and it is sometimes necessary to renew the bath after the first three or four washings. Some people recommend solutions of lead and copperas, but as both of these are poisonous drugs, it is better to avoid them.—Chicago Daily News. Getting Around a Difficulty.

A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is.

The Santa Fe announces very low one-way second-class rates to California—$33 from Chicago, $25 from Kansas City, $30 from St. Louis, and proportionate reductions from the East generally. These tickets are on sale every day until November 30. They are being availed of by many travelers, including Joanine and other great valleys of California, likewise Arizona passengers. The same line also offers a rate of about half fare, plus $2, one-way or round-trip, to the Southwest generally, the first and third Tuesdays of each month; the last semi-monthly excursion filled every available car. On October 20 a special bargain-counter round-trip home-seekers' rate is advertised for $20 from Chicago, and $15 from Oklahoma, also $5 to Pecos Valley, of New Mexico. The mere sightseer will be more interested in the excursions to Los Angeles and San Francisco that are booked on the Santa Fe the latter part of October, accrue rate them, and out and back, will be $62.50 from Chicago, $50 from Kansas City, and similarly reduced from other points. Anyone may go who has the price in his pocketbook. Special parties will take in the Grand Canyon of Arizona, on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Those wishing to try an ocean voyage can extend their trip by Oceanic line steamer from San Francisco to Hawaii and enjoy a week's outing in the isles of peace.

Chicago is beginning to consider means for making the International Live Stock Exposition, to be held this fall, better than any ever held. Over $33,000,000 of live stock was acquired in the last month, almost three hundred thousand carloids of live stock being received at the Chicago market during this period. This makes the city one of the greatest live stock centers in the world. The International Live Stock Exposition has been an educational agency of the greatest importance in recent years from the cattle ranges and feeding grounds of the west. These sources of supply are placed within easy reach of the city by such trunk lines of railway as the Chicago & North-Western, which brings to Chicago each year 70,000 carloids of live stock, raised in the territory and living in the agricultural region, tributary to Chicago, are evincing each year more interest in the betterment of their stock. The exhibition at the Union Stock Yards during the International Exposition this fall will be one of the most notable ever seen, and its chief value will be along educational lines, looking to bring in growing stock, making of standard stock which means so much more money in the rockets of the producer. Full particulars as to the program of the International together with announcement of low railway rates via The North-Western Line will appear later.

The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'fg Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. A Low Rate to Texas. October 20th only, the M.
