LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1904. DEDICATED TO THE LATE JIM RAY. Oh! brave heart, loyal and beating high, You went forward but to die; Shot to death on Monday night, Oh! what a fearful, fatal sight; Oh! that dark, disastrous night; Were you wrong, "Jim," or were you right? When the morning light Shone upon the bloody sight, Oh! sad cries all around! People flocked to see him in his shroud, Shot to death, there poor "Jim" lay, Sleeping until the rising day. Could have been there when Jim fell to die: And could little 'Jimmy' have been by his side When the fatal shot was fired." I have known "Jim" for a long time— To his friends he was most kind; Among his race you will never find A man who had a braver mind. Shot to death at the Falstaff bar, Gone to stand at Judgment bar, Gone to hear his final doom, Way beyond the sun and moon. Good-by, "Jim," we will see you no more, But hope to meet you on the other shore. Oh, tell me, "Jim," was it true, When the hands on the clock were nearing two Did death you for his victim view? And as the soul took its flight, Could I but kiss little Jimmy good- night. Shot to death, but the one to blame. Must answer for the sin of shame. For he has broke God's holy will— He has taken what he never can give. When death rode with her reaping sword, Jim, did thou not seek that distant goal? Did thou not seek that heavenly rest, And folded close on Jesus' breast? I wish that I, like prophets of old, Could tell, Oh tell, where is your soul. With thou mother I sympathize, For on her son there were told lies; But every mother in sorrow must shrine. And must feel her children's care. But if her sorrow is hard to bear, Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer. Yes! thy case will be correctly heard, But never by an earthly judge. When the case will be called before us all, On that morning in the Judgment Hall, When the "Great Supreme" sits in His chair, Ah! there will be no lying there. He who its was by your side, When the fatal shot was fired, When done wondering over life tide, May they too in Heaven abide. They tell me his name was John; I know him not, nor where he was born, But all I can say, and say along, Jim has been here, but now is gone. Gone! Gone! I know not where, But if "Jim" is in Heaven, let us meet him there. Oh! God, who answers all prayers, May "Jim's" home be bright and fair. For we, too, have a Father there, Clothed in garments bright and fair, Slippers of a golden pair, So, dear relatives, do not weep, For "Jim" has only fell asleep. THE ODEON. The Colored Young Men's Christian Association World's Fair Entertainment—Monday, April 18, 1904. This is possibly the last time the building can be secured by Colored people and the opportunity should not be missed. Most of the eminent Negroes of the country will be in the city at that time and will patronize the event of Colored society. Secure seats early and come out and witness.

Both gentlemen rendered musical selections in their native Egyptian tongue, which they afterwards translated into English. Sergt. Wm. H. Hamilton, of the famous Tenth United States cavalry, a hero of San Juan hill, was also a guest, and made a few remarks complimentary to the ladies that made him the "lion" of the evening. Mr. Grant introduced his latest terpsichorean composition, entitled, "The Orphean Glide," the music of which was composed by Prof. Henry Williams. The new dance is something like a two-step in movement, to waltz time, and was received with a triple encore, and proved very popular. The academy will continue every Friday evening without further interruption.

The latest radium suggestion is the most sensible yet. Radium paint is to be used on front-door keyholes. These will shine forth like twinkling stars on the murkiest night, and another embarrassing problem will be solved forever. When a Jap wants to say "Hurrah!" he shouts "Bansai!" This, coupled with the fact that the Japanese language contains no swear words, constitutes a big handicap and increases one's respect for the plucky fighters who are winning in spite of it. Speaking of Russian and Japanese names, what do you think the foreign papers would do to us if we had the battle of Oconomowoc or Passamaquoddy or eMmphremagog or—but the list is limitless. Killed, 1,025; wounded, 14,162. No, these are not the casualties of the Russo-Japanese war up to date, but the figures of the railroads of the United States for the months of July, August and September, 1903. The Asiatic war will have to go on for some time before it reaches this record. A 90,000-pound steel safe has been placed in the mining building at the St. Louis exposition in which to store valuables, among which are mentioned gold bricks. Now we shall know what to do with them while we are waiting for the man to bring back the change. Sometimes a humble newspaper editor breaks out with a ringing phrase that proves that eloquence and forceful writing are not yet dead. A Brooklyn paper speaks of "the lunacy of superlative egotism carried to the extreme of clotted nonsense." Put that in your notebook—it will make a tremendous hit at some future "dollar dinner." John Ericsson's gallant old single turreted monitor, the Montauk, is to be employed as a target to test the effectiveness of our heavy naval ordnance. This is at least a more useful and than death by dry rot at a wharf. The obsolete cruiser Belle Isle, of the British navy, was shot up by modern British battleships for the same purpose a few years ago. It is reported that former President Kruger, of the Boer republic, is slowly dying, mind and body, an exile at Mentone, France. The loss of his country, his wife and his son have proved too much even for his sturdy constitution, and it is when men come to such a pass as this that they are said to be dying of broken hearts. Poor old "Oom Paul" is one of the most pathetic figures of present day history. It is interesting and significant that Admiral Uriu, the Japanese officer who won the victory at Chemulpo, is a graduate of the United States naval academy at Annapolis. He was in the class of 1881, and is only 41 years of age, though his advancement has been won by his merit alone. It is not so well known that his wife is a graduate of Vassar college. The pair furnishes a type of culture and progress in "New Japan." Another five per cent. advance in the price of diamonds—the fourth within a year—makes diamonds higher than at any time within 30 years. But the prices will undoubtedly continue to rise, for even the Kimberly field must be exhausted some day, and the syndicate is making hay while the sun shines. The rise will be felt principally in this country, for the United States buys 60 per cent. of the annual output of all the mines in the world. Japan has a navy of 123 vessels, many of them first-class fighting craft. Up to 1865 she never owned a warship, and apparently did not know what a navy was. She took her first lesson by getting some of her boys trained at Annapolis; and the principal commanders in the operations that have thus far been conducted on water have been either these graduates of the United States naval academy or men who have been educated along the same lines. When a man dies at the age of 132 years humanity in general is inclined to puff out its chest and vajorloriously deny its similarity to grass which "growth up in the morning and in the evening is cut down and withereth." Noah Raby, New Brunswick, N. J., has just passed away at this patriarchal age, but length of days seems to have been his only achievement. The last half century of his life was passed in the poorhouse, while his career is summed up in the statement that he "once saw George Washington at Portsmouth, Va." He certainly is not to blame for that. Missouri State Gleanings. MISSOURI STRAWBERRIES. With an Increased Acreage, This Year's Crop Should Break All Previous Records. With an increased acreage in every county in the state and every prospect for a good yield, Missouri's crop of strawberries this year will break all previous records. Reports received in Columbia by the officers of the agricultural department of Missouri university show that not only are the old strawberry beds in excellent condition, but in all parts of the state the beds have been enlarged, and new beds put out last spring will yield their first crop this year. The total yield will probably far exceed the yield of last year, and may double it. Quite an interest in strawberry growing has been manifest among the farmers and truck gardeners of the state, and many have taken up this profitable occupation. Large areas were planted last year, and preparations are now being made for a larger acreage to be put out this spring. These new plants will not bear this year. Speaking of the unusual interest taken in strawberry growing, W. L. Howard, of the horticultural department of Missouri university, predicted that Missouri would lead in strawberry growing in a few years, as soon as the old plants are old enough to bear. "The whole of southwest Missouri," said Prof. Howard. "Is now dotted with strawberry fields of from five to 100 acres and fruit fields of from five to 100 acres southeast Missouri also, and in that section of the state preparations are making for a still larger acreage. In many of the counties large tracts are being cultivated for the years the yield from that section of the state will be very large. Doniphan in Ripley county will soon be a major center for culturing beds are being put out. Around Poplar Bluff there are many small growers, while Lutesville has for several years been prominent in the production of strawberries in the state from southeast Missouri now will not equal that of one of the southwestern counties, Greene county for example. "The strawberry season in Missouri is beginning," said the author of the Missouri-grown berries will be placed on the market about May 23. The later varieties will follow, and by June 20 the fruit will be out of season. Of course, a few berries are sold after that date, but few of them are grown in Missouri, "In St. Louis county strawberries are grown more successfully and with larger state. This is because of the fact that they are marketed at home, and the grower is put to no expense for shipping and crating. A larger number are grown enough to supply the city of St. Louis. "I was talking with a market gardener from Bridgeland, a suburb of St. Louis, the other day, and he told me his lowest get profit rate. He sometimes made as much as $90 an acre on the year's yield. When we remember that the season is but twenty days long, and that the beds require little care outside of the fruiting season appears to be an enormously profit. "However, experience has proven that except where grown for local trade, strawberries can not be profitably grown, and they are not grown in carlod lots. When shipped by express, the express companies get all the profits. In southwest Missouri the berries are sold on the cars by the growers. In southwest Missouri the berry region during the fruiting season and purchase the berries after the cars are loaded. In this way the grower is relieved of the trouble of having to pay the risk of damage during transportation. In southeast Missouri, the product of no county is large enough to warrant shipping such quantities, and the growers are able to increase the increased acreage makes shipping in large quantities practicable." He Will Arrive Too Late. After waiting for three weeks for Herman R. Dietrich, United States consul to Guayaquil, Ecuador, to reach Chillicothe, that he might look on the face of his wife before her body was buried, it was decided to have the funeral. Mrs. Dietrich died at Utica, February 13, after a brief sickness. Her husband was immediately notified by cablegram, and preparations were made to preserve the body until he could arrive. However, the relatives of Mr. Dietrich received a telegram from the state department saying Mr. Dietrich had left Ecuador promptly, but that he was detained on a steamer somewhere between South America and the United States, and that the date of his arrival was indefinite and might be delayed several weeks. Sympathy For Russia. Resolutions of sympathy for Russia in the war with Japan were adopted by the Irish nationalists of St. Louis, at the Pickwick theater, during the meeting in commemoration of the birth of Robert Emmet. The Rock Island's New Branch. The Rock Island's St. Louis-Kansas City line will be completed by May 1. The tracklayers, moving westward, are 65 miles from Kansas City, and the grading is completed to a point ten miles east of Kansas City. Took a Costly Nap. While Peter O'Brien, a stranger in the city, was waiting at St. Louis Union station to board a train for Syracuse, N. Y., he fell asleep. When he awoke his ticket and a gold watch and chain were missing. Bled on a Train. Clair Commons, aged 40, a former Kansas City business man, died on a Burlington train near St. Joseph. He had been in ill health for some time. Death Came Suddenly. Mrs. Ide J Sailer fell dead from heart disease while informing her husband that she had won the first prize at a masqueade ball in St. Louis. Teamsters Losing Ground. The striking teamsters of Kansas City are losing ground, according to reports from that city. However, they say they will "stand pat." WORLD'S FAIR NOTES. Interesting Jotting's Concerning the Greatest Exposition Ever Held by Mankind. Porto Rico has added $10,000 to its appropriation, making $30,000 in all. Denmark will have large exhibits in the departments of agriculture, liberal arts, manufactures and transportation. The bill adding $35,000 to Rhode Island's appropriation has been recommended for passage by the committee on finance. Seven hundred and sixty-five cases of the German exhibits have been received for installation in seven different exhibit buildings. Germany, Japan, Mexico, Great Britain, Canada, Honduras and Egypt already have exhibits placed in the forestry, fish and game palace. Col. Miranda,of the Mexican Rurales, will exhibit his famous vaquero saddle. This saddle, which is a work of art, cost $20,000, and has been eight or ten years in course of construction. Most of the equipment of the intramural railroad are closed vestibule cars. There are 57 cars,51 closed and six open. Their length is 48 feet 2 inches and their width 8 feet 6 inches. The states that have begun the installation of exhibits in the Palace of forestry, fish and game are Arkansas, Connecticut, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Some of Oregon's exhibits for that building have been received, as have some of Alaska's. The Ramsey family of Kansas will hold a family reunion in the Kansas building, August 26, 1904. The postal service has 125 employees bearing the name of Ramsey. Members of the family are numerous in every state of the union, though they disagree about the proper spelling of the name, Ramsey and Ramsey being the favorite styles. WOMEN FOUGHT LIKE MEN. Belligerants Used Various Weapons in a Fracas at a Dance in St. Louis. The orchestra had just finished a waltz at the Concordia Club hall, if St. Louis, and the decadent notes had scarcely ceased vibrating when a riot broke out. The fight was started between several young men near the main entrance to the hall. In a minute it was general, and a hundred men and women were participants. Revolvers were drawn, knives brandished, clubs wielded and bricks and other missiles hurled promiscuously. Many were injured, but escaped from the police by jumping through windows and scurrying through the several exits. After the fight had been quelled by the police, Emma Wagner, 30 years old, was picked up in an unconscious condition by Police Sergeant Field. She was taken to the city hospital. An examination showed that she had been struck on the left temple by some blunt instrument, causing a contusion. She regained consciousness for a short time after arriving at the hospital, but again lapsed into a comatose state. Her condition is reported as serious, and she may die. Sergeant Field said that it was the most vicious mix-up that he had ever encountered. In trying to separate belligerents, Patrolman Helgoth was knocked down, his club and star stolen and his clothing torn and cut. Sergeant Field said that women took sides and fought like men. One woman, he says, was armed with a large butcher knife. Luckett Case Continued. The case against Attorney Fenton Luckett, of Jefferson City, charged with attempting to fix the jury in the Frank Farris bribery case, was continued in Cole county circuit court at request and cost of the state. Postponement was on account of the absence of Attorney General Crow. Luckett announced himself ready for trial. Robbed and Stabbed. John Bennett, an Austrian, was attacked by two negresses, in St. Louis, and robbed of $85 and.stabbed eleven times. However, he managed to hold on to one of his assailants until the police came. At the city hospital his wounds were pronounced fatal. Missouri's Present. A massive punch bowl of sterling silver, accompanied by a large salver, a ladle and 24 cups of the same metal, is to be the testimonial of Missouri to the United States battleship Missouri. Clothing Merchant Dead. Morris Rothschild, a retired clothing merchant, and an early pioneer of Leavenworth, Kas., died in Kansas City, after a brief illness of pneumonia. Burned by Molten Metal. Henry Raybrooke, aged 24, was probably fatally burned by molten lead while working in a smelter in St. Louis. He suffered terrible agony. Merrill Will Probated. The will of John W. Merrill, the lumber dealer, who died recently at Kansas City, has been filled for probate. His estate is estimated at $1,000,000. Drank Soup and Died. After drinking a bowl of soup, and telling her husband and son not to partake of it, Mrs. Marie Wells, of St. Louis, died within a half hour. THE NEUTRALITY PROCLAMATION The President Supplements It With an Executive Order. Care Must Be Taken to Avoid Giving Offense, By Either Act of Word, to the Powers Now Engaged in War. Washington, March 11—President Roosevelt, after a conference with Secretary of State Hay, issued the following executive order, respecting the observance of the proclamation recently promulgated, declaring the neutrality of the United States between Russia and Japan, the two combatant nations in the far eastern war now in progress: "All officials of the government, civil, military and naval, are hereby directed not only to observe the president's proclamation of neutrality in the pending war between Russia and Japan, but also to abstain from either action or speech which can legitimately cause irritation to either of the combatants. The government of the United States represents the people of the United States, not only in the sincerity with which it is endeavoring to keep the scales of neutrality exact and even, but in the sincerity with which it deplores the breaking out of the present war, and hopes it will end at the earliest possible moment and with the smallest possible loss to those engaged. Such a war inevitably increases and inflames the susceptibilities of the combatants to anything in the nature of an injury or slight by outsiders. "Too often combatants make conflicting claims as to the duties and obligations of neutrals, so that even when dicharging these duties and obligations with scrupulous care it is difficult to avoid giving offense to one or the other party. To such unavoidable causes of offense, due to the performance of national duty, there must not be added any avoidable causes. It is always unfortunate to bring old world antipathies and jealousies into our life, or by speech or conduct to excite anger and resentment toward our nation in friendly foreign lands; but in a government employ, whose official position makes him in some sense the representative of the people, the mischief of such action is greatly increased. A strong and self-confident nation should be peculiarly careful not only of the rights but of the susceptibilities of its neighbors; and nowadays all of the nations of the world are neighbors one to the other. Courtesy, moderation and self-restraint should mark international, no less than private, intercourse. "All the officials of the government civil, military and naval, are expected so to carry themselves, both in act and deed, so as to give no just cause of just offense to the people of any foreign and friendly power—and with all mankind we are now in friendship. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. White House, March 10, 1904." SHERIFF DISPERSED MOB. Attempted Lynching at Murphysbore is Quickly Foiled By Pluoky Sheriff. Murphysboro, Ill., March 11.—A mob came over from Carbondale Wednesday night with the avowed intention of lynching a mulatto named Thomas Vaughn, confined in the county jail, charged with assaulting Miss Eva Kavanaugh, a school teacher, in the outskirts of Carbondale, January 21. Sheriff John R. Thorp had been advised from Carbondale that the mob was coming, and deputized Deputy County Clerk A. J. Woodward to assist in protecting the jail. The two awaited the arrival of the mob, which occurred about two o'clock Thursday morning. The men demanded admittance, but after parleying with them a few minutes, the sheriff appeared at an upper window, and warned them the first man who made an effort to force the door would be shot. A few minutes later he ordered them to leave the premises, which they did. Leaving the jail in charge of the deputy, Sheriff Thorp followed the mob and arrested four of them—Dr. H. E. Lightfoot, Josh Walker, John McCuer and Ruppert Stanley. They claimed to be merely onlookers, but were placed under bonds of $500 each for their appearance before a justice of the peace. The whole thing turned out to be a farce, owing doubtless to the nerve displayed by the sheriff. After the mob had left Deputy Sheriff Woodward's revolver fell from his pocket to the floor and was discharged, the ball entering his arm at the elbow and shattering the bone. The doctors say he will lose the arm. Printer's Strike Settled. Boston, March 11.—The strike of book and job printers, which has been in effect several weeks, was settled Thursday night at a joint meeting of representatives of Typographical Union No. 13 and the Boston Typothetae. The settlement was in the nature of a compromise, and a contract between employers and employees was signed. Japanese Steamer Wrecked. Yokohama, March 11.—The Japanese steamer Shinshiu Maru has been wrecked off Chemulpo, Korea. Both ship and cargo were totally lost. The good people of Venice, III., and also of Madison, read The Palladium. Mr. Lewis Watkins, our enterprise agent, is doing a good business. He sells from 35 to 40 papers each week. The citizens of Madison like Mr. Watkins, and all admit that he is a business man. 4 MOST REMARKABLE CHARACTER. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 South Fifteenth street, was born in 1815; therefore, was a slave 45 years. He passed through the civil war in the commissary department, and 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 news dealer, 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 can not get out, but you can get The St. Louis Palladium by calling at his house, 209 South Fifteenth street. And All of My Patrons. Mr. M. Barnes, our energetic agent, is doing fine work. He sells 20 to 25 copies a week. The congregation of Central Baptist like The Palladium for the stand it took in defending them when the Old Black Man took delight in sticking that congregation in the short ribs. At that time The Palladium thundered forth the shot and shell, and consequently gained the admiration of that church. Mr. Barnes is all right.

CRANE AND CO., 122 west Broad Street, RICHMOND, VA. IMPORTANT. The Married Women's Harper club met at 3914 Sophia avenue, the residence of Mrs. Davis. They were entertained in the most stylish manner. They were conducted into the dining room, where the table was spread with all the good things of the season. Among those present we noticed Mrs. Easton, of San Antonio, Tex.; Mrs. Watkins, Simms, Murphy and others. The house was decorated so as to look like a fairy garden or the paradise above. The whole affair was very pleasant. Mrs. W. H. Davis has been sick since. She is better now. We wish to call special attention to the undertaker business of Harrison-McKoin, 2743 Wash street. They will supply you with a winter overcoat that will last until doomsday. Remember Mr. John W. Wheeler Jr. is a professional pianist. He plays a high-class music, and he takes high-class advertisements for The Palladium. When you help us, you help a worthy young man. J. W. WHEELER. THE WORLD'S FAIR. With the approach of the New Year comes a momentous event in the history of St. Louis. Never since its early settlement has there been as great a furor as exists at the present time. Little did the early explorers of the Mississippi Valley and the French settlers of this city think that in the distant future the city they had founded in a wilderness would develop into the center of the world's admiration. The celebration of the Louisiana Purchase is one in which all natives will join—it is of wide-spread interest to the world at large. The representation of the Negro race at the Fair will, it is anticipated, be a highly commendable one. The children of the Colored schools have already begun their preparation of the work for the Fair. The journalistic work of the Negro will show his ability in that line. The three Negro papers of our city will make an excellent display. Those who visit the World's Fain will find that it will surpass by far any that has ever been given. No particular booth will be set apart for the Negro race. They will be represented only as American citizens. No discrimination will be made. LAWYERS. W. M. Farmer. Albert Burgess. E. H. Taylor. J.

Depressed, sad, weary! Tired of this aching wrinkle. When will the clouds scatter, or when will this life cease? Tired, oh, so tired, of all that we here call life! Oh for a bed in Mother Earth to rest in peace! HOPE. But why strike a note so mournful when the world has its share of woe? Let us sing a song of gladness to cheer others in the strie; For the song we sing, the look we bear, as we journey to and fro, May help or hurt a brother in the fight for eternal life. Let's live in the eternal sunshine; let's rest in the Father's love. Let us lend a helping hand to those who make the way; And we'll see the silver lining in the clouds that hang above. And the joy we'd bring to other hearts will come to ours each day. -Rev. Edwin H. Burgess, in N. Y. Observer. THE TEST OF ENDURANCE. Character's Severest Test Is Bearing Without Faltering the Common Ills of Our Daily Life. When the night-bound railway train, with its coaches full of drowsy passengers, stops for a few moments at a wayside station, the dim outline of some strong, faithful machinist may be seen going from coach to coach, striking each wheel in turn a ringing blow with his hammer. They little think, who ride there, says the Sunday School Times, that, as each gonglike clang breaks on the silent air of the murky night, it tells the story of endurance, for better or for worse—endurance of the burden and the friction and the heat and the mighty toll of the rails. Hundreds of lives depend upon a man's applying that test with patience and care to every wheel. All things that we really value are things that have been tested. Every article that we possess, every quality and companionship that we hold in dear and high regard, has been submitted to some far-reaching, crucible experience which has shown us where worth lies. And the connection between the two —between the worth and the testing —is closer than we often think. The turning of the earth on its axis and the falling of its smallest apple are not more intimate than are these days of soul proof and life testing in all the dear things that we love. All life seems to sum itself up in two deep and rich experiences, which are not two, but rather twofold—endurance and achievement; what we have borne, and what we have built; what we have suffered, and what we have created. There is nothing that men prize more highly than things tested and proved. The builder wants timbers that are toughest and hardest, which wind and rough weather in the open of forest and field, the sun in summer or the heat of the kiln, have made compactest in fiber and grain. The mason wants bricks that have felt the hottest fire in the curing, and the stone that has known volcanic heat. Men cannot, however, determine this as easily of men as they can of things, but they do it as well as they can. And since they cannot pass upon thought and quality at first hand, as they can upon stratum and fiber and mass and weight, they take what seems to them a fair equivalent, and judge of knowledge and worth as they register themselves in reputation or as they coin themselves in deeds. Yet, in spite of all this, we can go terribly astray, and follow too far, to our confusion and shame and loss, a rule that is human and faulty and crude at best. Do not let us make the mistake of supposing that God looks at achievements as we do. The all-revealing question that He will ask will be, not so much what we have accomplished, but rather how much have we endured. Not that we should despise the world's effort to fill its positions with men whose worth has issued in well-known name and work. We know its value too well. We know that, despite the confusions of a deranged world, the good man is to be found back of the good name; that a great building points to an accomplished builder, a beautiful picture to a gifted artist. Achievement does express life and beauty and worth. But there is another life and deeper beauty and nobler worth that cannot be uttered. Do not let our interest in the arena of achievement crowd down our interest in God's greater arena of endurance. Says Paul Laurence Dunbar: "Tis true enough that the laurel crown Twines but for the victor's brow. For many a hero has lain him down With naught but the cypress bough. There are gallant men in the losing fight. And as gallant deeds are done As ever captured the captured height We need, then, the warning of this. For who is it that we most delight to honor? Is it not the daring explorer, the brilliant engineer, the mighty builder, the ingenious inventor, the gallant officer, the gifted singer, artist of litterateur—all of them victors in visible btatles? Let us honor them. They have endured. It would be ignoble not to do so. But let us also have an eye on the men who walk obscurely in their rear, it may be in poverty and pain, who in reality may be as far above them as the heavens are above the earth, or the soaring eagle above the worm. Let us see this vision of the man whose soul is growing beautiful and great before God—great in the highest sense of all, and made great by the greatness of endurance. There is a level on which we may all meet without advantage, and strive as one, where no accident of race or time or mind or body favors the one or shuts out the other. That level is the arena of endurance. The greatness of Moses, among other things, lay in his rejecting the opportunity of achievement, as men then rated it, and sharing with his own people their hard lot of servitude. The famous words: "He refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter (and all the fame and leadership that went along with it), choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God," set the high glory of endurance vividly over against the tinsel glitter of fame. When Paul turned about, the new life into which he was called embraced many things within its scope. For one thing, epistles were to be written of transforming and world-moving power, and the center of civilization was to be shifted from Asia to Europe, and all this the achievement of one God-filled and God-guided man. But the highest honor that was set before him that day was the glory of endurance—"I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake." Endurance was the very soul of his message to the Corinthian Christians, for that is the meaning of those great words of his: "Far be it from me to glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." And it is this divining word that divides, as no other can, his life from his life after he took Christ into it. Up to that vivid, memorable hour, he had made it his chief business to inflict suffering on others, make others endure; but from thenceforth he took as his proud badge that despised word which Calvary had made forever glorious, the word "endurance." It was a deep saying of Horace Bushnell that, "if you would put character to the severest test, see if it can bear without faltering the common ills and hindrances of our daily life." LIFE FOREVER YOUNG. God Renews the Morning of Youth in the Heart of Age-Lesson of Implicit Trust. It is in the morning of life, O Lord, that I see Thy glory; in the midday I see Thy helpfulness. Thou art then to me "the shadow of a great rock in a weary land," a refuge from the burden and the heat. In the evening I see Thy faithfulness; I behold the retrospect of all that Thou hast done and, lo, it is all very good. But the morning is the season of my implicit trust, perfectly implicit because not yet founded on experience. I trust Thee at midday because I feel Thy help; I trust Thee at even because I trace Thy plan; and I trust Thee at morning without any reason save the morning's glow in my heart. I trust Thee as the lark trusts the morning air into which it soars and through which it sings. I trust Thee by an instinct of my being. I trust Thee without experience before trial, irrespective of argument, in defiance of difficulty; there is no vision but the brightness of Thy face. My God, give me back my youth; I can regain it in Thee. Let the shadows of my life be rekindled into morning's glow: let my heart be lit with Thine eternal youth. Thou hast promised us eternal life—and what is that? Not merely life forever, but life forever young. Thine eternal life can make me a child again, a child without childishness. O Thou on whose bloom time breathes not, who art the "ame yesterday and to-day and forever," bathe me in those fountains of the morning whence Thou hast the dew of Thy youth. Bathe me in the ocean of that love in which there is "no variableness nor the least shadow of turning," that the pulses of this heart may be renewed. Then shall I have "the bright and morning star" and "the dayspring from on high" shall rise within me. Then shall creation break forth into gladness, as in the day when "the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy;" I shall see the glory of life when Thy morning is in my soul.-George Matheson RELIGIOUS TRUTHS. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried he shall receive the crown of life.—James 1, 12. If you wish to appear agreeable in society, you must consent to be taught many things which you already know.—Tallyrand. Think of good that you may avoid thinking of evil. The mind of man cannot for one moment remain in a state of inactivity.—St. Ephraim. Life is the only real counselor. Wisdom unfiltered through personal experience does not become a part of the moral tissues.—Edith /Wharton. Jesus found so many aimless lives! They were not motionless. No human life is that. But there was no meaning in their motion. This aimlessness is wretchedness. Hence the invigorating joy of the command: "Go work to-day in My vineyard."—George A. Gordon. If we always bore in mind this solemn truth, that life is but the vestibule of the everlasting temple, the first stage of a progress that shall know no limit, the novitate or apprenticeship both of heart and intellect, I think we should acknowledge more fully the high importance of the trust, and endeavor to fulfill its duties in a purer and holier spirit.—W. H. D. Adams. The Supreme Thing. Love should be the supreme thing, because it is going to last; because in the nature of things it is eternal life.—Drummond. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE. N. W. Cor.

The family of Mrs. Permella Hynes desires to thank the many friends for their kindness during the illness and death of their beloved husband and father. PERMELIA HYNES, 1720 Wash Street. Sad News. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Holt, of 1923 Market street, are just in receipt of a telegram from New York, telling of the death of Mrs. Kate Maxwell, who visited her brother, Mr. G. W. Holt last summer. Mrs. Maxwell was a true and faithful Christian, and a race-loving woman, one that we should be proud of. The loss of such a character to our race is her eternal gain. Yet it is human, when we loose so dear a sister to be cast down. May the God of Heaven bind up the bowed down hearts, and let them find consolation in the thought that if they live the life of a true Christian they will meet again We deeply sympathize with them. THE NEWPORT. W. T. Curtis opened the doors of his new buffet, at 2323 Market street, the most complete resort in the western states, a building that was built for him, with all the modern improvements.

LANDERS CO. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday the members of the First Baptist church met in their regular monthly covenant meeting, and quite a number gave testimony to their faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ, after which Rev. E. C. Cole arose and stated that the hour had arrived for the commencement of the baptismal service. He called on those who were present and ready to be baptized to stand up. Six stood up. They went out, and soon returned with their robes on ready for the water. Rev. Cole lost no time in baptizing them, and bidding them God-speed through this life-weary scene. This being over, everybody was invited back into the chapel, where the Ruth club had prepared a nice dinner. In a very few minutes every chair was occupied around the tables, and Mrs. Leatha Newcomb and her assistants spared no pains in seeing that everybody who wanted dinner was well cared for. These are the names of the different ladies who took part in serving the dinner: Mrs. Leatha Newcomb, president of the club; Mrs. Lizzie Harris, Mrs. Nora Lee, Mrs. H. Brooks, Miss Annie Whitener, Mrs. Julia Bailey, Mrs. Sarah Jackson. Mr. W. H. Williams, manager. Rev. E. C. Cole preached at 7:30 last Sunday night at the First Baptist church to the young converts. He His Farewell Sermon. Rev. S. Palmer, pastor of the M. E. church, Bridgeton, Mo., preached his farewell sermon, which was selected from the twelfth chapter of the Acts, 5th verse, "But prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him." He demonstrated the power of prayer, and told how necessary it was for Christians to be engaged in praying for the sinner, and for one another, and especially for those who are in distress. He evinces that the praying of the church had a good deal to do with Peter's being set at liberty by the hand of an angel. In the conclusion of his sermon he charged the members to stand together in unity, and asked an interest of their prayers for him while he is away attending the yearly conference. COMING Mrs. Josephine S. Yates, President of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. The 22 clubs of the City Federation, under the intelligent supervision of Mrs. M. L. Harrison, president, are now as busy as bees preparing to receive Mrs. J. S. Yates, national president, on Monday evening, the 14th inst., at First Baptist church, Fourteenth street and Clark avenue.

His remarks were listened to with marked attention. On last Monday night, the 7th, the members of the First Baptist church gave the young converts a fine entertainment. There was scarcely standing room in the chapel. Rev. E. C. Cole gave a fine lecture to the converts. He said many good things, all of which, if they were strictly followed, would be able to overcome all the temptations which were likely to befall them. Immediately after the lecture, Rev. Cole organized a club among the converts, known as the "Young Converts" Club," with 126 members—the whole number that joined during the protracted meeting. Mrs. Anna Hammons was elected president and Miss Ophelia Wells secretary. Mr. Robert Johnson, of 209 S. Fifteenth, street, is lying very low, and is not expected to live. The members of the First Baptist church ought to visit him, and carry him some money to help pay for his medicine.

Arnett. ‘The prodyetion was mag- nificently staged, the costumes were elegant, and the company par excel- lence. William R. Earl and Fritz Em- ory, two rattling good comedians, were the headliners, and it was their work that made the comedy such a great.suc- cess. Elnora Wilbert, a charming young lady, with a sweet voice and graceful carriage, had the leading fem- inine role. Her work stamps her as the best soubrette of color that has been seen in St. Louis this season. ‘Minor Baker was also prominently cast, his work proving him to be a clever artist. ‘The production can be com- pared with Williams’ and Walker's “Dahomy,” for it was staged by Mr. Earl, and many things excelled the great production of the great com- edians. Mr. Barl has for many years been connected with the prominent companies, and his wide experience in this line had much to do with the suc- cess scored by “Every Darkey is a King.” Mr. E. L. Arnett is striving to make this one of the greatest amateur shows of the age. Good for Arnet. We wish him and his troop success. Prof. Pur- ner’s orchestra gave excellent music. ‘They displayed their mysical talent. It can be said truly that every one of them was a king, in keeping with the play. Prof. Turner has his men under complete control and well disciplined. His orders were obeyed like clock- work. So much for the play, “That Every Darkey is a King.” Wives of members of Illinois’ World's fair commission are to serve as hostesses of Ilinois’ pavilion and are to receive no salary.

By Pretending Friendship Tom Got a Good Nip at the Hand of the Man He Hated. Tom, one of the team of horses used by the San Francisco (Cal.) police department for patrol wagon service, is a wise animal. Hour after hour every day he stands near the city hall awaiting a summons to rush to the aid of some person in need of medical attention or to bring to the prison some malefactor. His waits are not tedious ones, for his idle time is spent in munching the cubes of sugar his driver and other attaches of the prison and hospital always have for him. Some time ago he took particular delight in showing his dislike for a city hall janitor, who, whenever he passed the horse, hit him a resounding slap on the back. Tom tried time and again to kick his tormentor, but his harness prevented him. Then the janitor com- Japanese ACERTAIN small boy asked his father at the breakfast table a few mornings ago: "What caused the war between Japan and Russia?" Many people think boys ask too many questions, but how are they to learn things if they do not? They cannot read and understand things as their fathers can. Besides, asking questions—especially such excellent ones as this boy asked—indicates that the interrogator—or boy asking questions—has a good foundation to start building his education on. Now, this boy's question was sent to the New York Tribune. All the editors have to say about the question is that they wish he would ask an easier one. How is one to tell about the causes of war, when one does not know all of them? To be sure, like two boys who have got into a quarrel and have been called upon to explain about it, each has his side to give; but one cannot tell whether either side has told all of the truth. Both Japan and Russia have given their sides. It will be well to begin by getting out the geography and turning to the map of Asia, or, better, to a map on which can be found a slice of Siberia, the upper FUSIYAM, A WELL BELOVE part of China and Corea and the islands of Japan by themselves. Siberia, every one knows by this time, belongs to Russia. Running along the lower edge of Siberia and crossing the claw of it near the sea of Japan is a big river called the Amoor. On the lower side of this river lies a country called Manchuria. For many years Manchuria belonged to China. Jutting off from Manchuria into the midst of the Yellow sea and the Sea of Japan is a tongue of land called Korea on some maps and Corea on the others. Now, look closely. A river will be found running part way across this tongue of land between Corea and Manchuria. This is the Yalu river, about which so much is being said. Now, Russia for several years has been building a railroad from Europe across Siberia to the sea. Of course, the railroad, in order to be of use, ought to end near the water, where ships could bring to it freight and also take freight from it. Siberia is so near the north pole that it is very cold in some places in the winter time. In fact, so cold is it that all the bays along the coast freeze over in the winter and no vessel can get in or out with their freight. It was planned to build this railroad to a place called by the long name of Vladivostok. This town is at the head of a bay opening into the Sea of Japan at the foot of the claw of Siberia. The czar's ministers thought it would be much better to build the railroad to a bay which did not freeze over at any time of the year, so somehow he got an opportunity to build it across Manchuria, which belongs to China, to a place now known as Port Arthur. This place may be found at the end of a small tongue of land extending out into the gulf of Pe-Chi-Li. This gulf is at the head of the Yellow sea, to the left of Corea, and on a level with Peking, the capital of China. Two or three years ago a lot of bad Chinamen, called Boxers, who wanted to get the foreigners out of China, shut up the foreigners in Peking and would menced making peace overtures. He brought the horse sugar, and occasionally a carrot, but the animal refused to take them from the stick on which the janitor held them out to him. Then he tried other tempting morsels, but still Tom was obdurate and refused to make up. Then he apparently relented, and one morning greeted the janitor with a whinny of pleasure. Emboldened, the janitor offered the horse a lump of sugar on his hand. Tom accepted the lump of sugar. He also took the janitor's hand and gave it a squeeze between his strong teeth that caused the janitor to yell with pain. Then Tom whinned again, this time with a great display of pleasure. The Stone Cutter's Blunder A small headstone in a cemetery in the western part of Pennsylvania is pointed out to visitors as one of the sights of the neighborhood. It was placed over the grave by a widower who, while not lacking in love for the departed one, was penurious to a degree. He ordered a small stone because it was cheap, and told the mason to engrave on it this inscription: "Sarah Hackett. Aged 90 years. Lord, she was Thine." The stonecutter said there was too much inscription for so small a surface, but was told to go ahead and "squeeze it on somehow." Here is the inscription as squeezed: "Sarah Hackett. Aged 90. Lord, she was Thin." Russian not let them leave the city. The soldiers of a number of different countries, including Russia, marched to Peking and made the Boxers go away. Russia left some of her soldiers in Manchuria, instead of taking them home as some of the other countries did. Then the czar's ministers, when asked if their soldiers were not going to leave poor China's land of Manchuria, said they would go when China had done certain things, and a day was set for them to go. The day came, but the soldiers did not go. People began to believe that the czar intended to take the country for himself, because he had built a railroad across it. Japan is only a small country, as one may see by looking at the map. But there are a lot of big and little Japs, with bristling black hair, and their islands are getting too small for them. They want some more land to spread out upon. Corea would just suit the "Japs," and every one has thought that some day the little man who calls himself emperor of Corea would be obliged to give up his country to Japan. Manchuria and Corea are separated only by the Yalu river. Japan, at least, has as much right in N. O MOUNTAIN OF THE JAPS. Corea as the czar had in Manchuria, and many people have thought her right was a little better than Russia's to Manchuria. Japan had not tried to gobble up Corea, while Russia apparently had tried to get Manchuria right out from under the nose of China, which was unable to defend herself. As Japan and Russia were likely to be such near neighbors, the ministers of the mikado decided last year to ask the ministers of the czar to talk the matter over and settle how they would get along together. So the two sent notes to each other saying what they would do and what they would like to have the other side do. They disagreed on about four things at least. Japan asked Rusisa to sign a paper, called a treaty, saying that she intended giving Manchuria back to China. Russia, on the other hand, asked Japan to promise to let Corea alone, to build no forts at the lower end of Corea where the tongue comes down near the lower end of the islands of Japan, and to mark out a strip of land on the Corean side of the Yalu river on which neither of them should go. The czar declined to say in writing that he would return Manchuria. The Japs could not see why they should be obliged to do in regard to Corea what Russia would not do in regard to Manchuria. Nor could they understand why they should promise not to put up pumps on ground which did not belong to Russia. It was hardly fair, either, to ask the Japs to give up their right to land on one side of the Yalu river when Russia would not do the same on the other side. Russia had been claiming the right to cut down trees in the valley of the Yalu river on both sides of the river. The mikado's ministers thought Russia was not treating them fairly, and when the czar's ministers did not answer their last note for a long time, apparently because the czar wanted to get ahead of Japan and be ready to fight, Japan decided not to wait for the note and sent her warships out. ```markdown ``` SUBMARINE BOATS TESTED A Remarkable Test Made at the British Naval Maneuvers. Four Battleships Theoretically Destroyed By a Simultaneous Attack of Submarines. New York, March 11.—A remarkable test of submarine boats has been made at Portsmouth, according to a Herald dispatch from London. In the course of the maneuvers, now in progress there, it was decided to attack the defense of the harbor and learn what could be done by the submarines in repelling the assault. The assailant was the home fleet, under Admiral Wilson, consisting of four battleships with five cruisers, which received orders to force an entrance into Portsmouth harbor. The submarine flotilla was aware that the attack would be made at night, and when the battleships were within range of the forts the latter opened a terrific fire. Under cover of this cermonade four torpedo destroyers put to sea and steamed toward the assailants. Alongside each destroyer and close under her port beam was a submarine, screened from the battleships. The destroyers approached within striking distance of the battleships amid a fearful roar of blank ammunition from the forts and ships. When the appointed distance had been reached the four destroyers fell back, putting on all steam. At the same instant the submarines sank, and in a few minutes later arose, one alongside each battleship and claimed the latter as their victims. The crews of the submarines displayed great skill and endurance in their work, but their claims to victory are disputed by the officers of the battleships who say such movements would have been impossible in a real engagement. CONGRESSMAN GEO. W. CROFT Denth of the Representative From the Third South Carolina District From Blood Poisoning. Washington, March 11.—Representative George W. Croft, of Aiken, S. C., died at his home in this city, Thursday of blood poisoning. His home was at Abbeville, and he represented the Third district. Mr. Croft had been ill for over six weeks as the result of an injury caused by a splinter in his thumb, from which blood poisoning resulted. Dr. Croft, a brother, was summoned from Aiken, but the efforts of himself and the local physicians proved unavailing. Mr. Croft was 57 years old, and leaves six sons. He was a democrat and was serving his first term in congress. SUSQUEHANNA FALLING. The Conditions at Wilkesbarre, Pa, and the Towns Below Are Gradually Improving. Willkesbarre, Pa., March 11.—The Susquehanna river is receding rapidly. Many of the streets are clear of water, and the people are returning to their homes. At Plymouth and at Nanticoke the flood has lessened considerably. Communication with Bloomsburg was cut off, and it is thought a gorge carried away the telegraph poles. Reports from up the river are that the flood is receding slowly. The banks on both sides of the river from Shickskinny to Sunbury, a distance of 50 miles, present a scene of desolation. Wrecked bridges, outbuildings, telegraph poles, etc., are strewn everywhere. The new steel bridge at Catawissa is a total wreck. Mines that were flooded are being pumped out, and some of them may be able to resume work Friday.

PLACE—John was probably executed at the castle of Macharus on the Arabian frontier, nine miles east of the upper end of the Dead sea. NOTES AND COMMENTS. (Matt. 14:1, 2). The sending out of the Twelve as missionaries attracted a great deal of attention. Every one saw that the movement was growing, and now, perhaps for the first time, it attracted the attention of Herod. At that season: "The time of which Matthew has been speaking, in general—the same spring. "Herod the tetrarch: "This was Herod Antipas, a son of Herod the Great, and like him in many ways. He was tetrarch, or governor, of Gallilee and Peraea for more than 30 years. "Sald unto his servants: "Not his menials, but the courtiers. "This is John the Baptist: "A guilty conscience makes men superstitious. Herod had not recovered from the shock which his own terrible act had given him. He was many times a murderer, but he was not many times a murderer in cold blood and to humor a whim, of such men as John. "If we mistake not, that dissevered head was rarely absent from Herod's haunted imagination from that day forward till he lay upon his dying bed."—Farrar. "Therefore do these powers work in Him: "Not! He does the mighty works,' but the powers work in Him.' the powers of the invisible world, vast and vague in the king's imagination."—Bruce. (Vs. 3-8). Matthew now goes back to tell of Herod's wanton murder of John, that we may better understand his superstitious fear of Jesus. "It is not lawful for thee to have her:" The fact that John did not spare Herod himself in his denunciations is a commentary on the courage of the man. "He feared the multitude:" Herod was always anxious to be popular, and saw that to kill John would be a decidedly unpopular move. "The daughter of Herodias danced in the midst:" At the birthday feast. Her name was Salome; She was later married to her uncle, Herod Philip II. This dance was probably the final voluptuous scene of a night of revelry. The feast must have taken place at the castle of Machaerus, where John was imprisoned. "He promised . . . to give her whatsoever she should ask:" A mad promise for any king to make, but it was late, his brain was infamed with drink, the drunken courtiers were cheering him on, and he made it with many a great oath. He supposed she would ask a necklace of precious stones—a fortune, or a palace, "She, being put forward by her mother:" Herodias saw her chance; the king when under the influence of liquor could be led to do what in his sober senses he would never do—liquor was the same then as now—and so the horrible request was made. (Vs. 9-12.) "The king was grieved;" Herod did not want to kill John; it would be unpopular, and he was unpopular enough now for having needlessly brought on the war with Aretas; then, he thoroughly respected the man—had become acquainted with him during his imprisonment. Almost everything—conscience, his own best interests, the good of the kingdom—counseled one course, but Herod took the other. Why? In the first place, liquor. Men under the influence of liquor are enemies to themselves and all that during their sober hours they hold most dear. In the second place, cowardice. He made a rash promise with the fumes of liquor in his brain; he kept it, not because he was in the habit of keeping promises, but because "of them which sat at meat with him." He was ashamed to back down in the very hour of his boastful promise. He was too much of a coward to do what he knew was right. His code of honor was a false one; he did not realize that to keep a bad promise was a greater disgrace than to make it. And so he committed one of the most ghastly murders in all history. His life is a warning, for his weaknesses, dangers and temptations are the same as ours. Worldly Prosperity. Wings of wealth carry no souls to the skies. The modern Tower of Babel is built out of dollars. Heart's-ease does not grow oh the heights of ambition. Prosperity becomes a poison when it grows at the expense of piety. He is a fool who loses God's crown of glory for man's crumbs of gold. The wealth of the world depends on the value of man and not on his possessions. Men who think of life in terms of stock-raising are working hard to turn this world into a barn-yard.—Ram's Horn. Good Samaritans Amsterdam, Holland, has for two years had an association of women who personally help families with young children whose mother is sick. They do the mother's work, and allow the father to contribute toward the society's expenses. C. A severe case of Ovarian Trouble and a terrible operation avoided.

"I suffered for more than five years with ovarian troubles, causing an unpleasant discharge, a great weakness, and at times a faintness would come over me which no amount of medicine, diet, or exercise seemed to correct. Your Vegetable Compound found the weak spot, however, within a few weeks—and saved me from an operation—all my troubles had disappeared, and I found myself once more healthy and well. Words fail to describe the real, true, grateful feeling that is in my heart, and I want to tell every sick and suffering sister. Don't dally with medicines you know nothing about, but take Lydia E.

Its Grain Fields, Ranching Lands, Dairying Resources. The Editor of the Wisconsin Agriculturist, who was one of a party of editors of agricultural papers, took a trip through Canada during the past spring, writes to his paper in the following strain:— The reason of his visiting Canada was to satisfy himself that the reports coming to his paper regarding the wonderful resources of that country were accurate. In view of the wonderful settlement that was going on there, many from this country crossing the line in search of permanent homes, and in view of what he had heard in regard to conditions of soil, water, climate, topography, fuel, grasses, rainfall, markets, etc., and also the influence which these have had on the present and future agriculture, he deemed it necessary to make an extended trip through all of the above territory. In speaking of the Province of Manitoba, he says:— "The Province of Manitoba comprises within its limits the far-famed grain-growing valleys of the Assiniboine and Red Rivers. Although called the Prairie Province of Canada, Manitoba has large areas of forests, numerous rivers and vast water expansions. "The soil is a rich, deep, mould, or loam, resting on a deep clay sub-soil. It is well adapted to wheat growing, giving a bountiful yield of the finest quality, known the world over as No. 1 hard wheat. During the past ten years the growth of wheat and other grains has steadily increased, until now the production, by 35,000 farmers, reaches 100,000,000 bushels. Of the 23,000,000 arable acres in Manitoba, probably not one-hail of it is occupied. Cultivated grasses yield about two tons per acre, and native grasses a ton and a half. "There can be no question but that "dairying will become a great indust- ry throughout the north-west, and especially cheese making, as the cli- mate is favorable and similar to that of Ontario. "Crops grown are wheat, barley, oats, flax, rye, peas, corn, for fodder, brome, potatoes, roots, etc. The soil is very fertile, and moisture ample. The climate is good, and the growing season, while not quite so long as in Wisconsin, matures crops as the sun shines much longer, rising about four o'clock and shines until about nine at night. One can easily read a news- paper at 10 p. m. The long days make growth fast, and push crops to ma- trity ahead of frost. "The ranching, the wheat growing, "and the mixed farming belts all cross "over Assiniboia. The yield and the "quality of wheat raised along the main "line of the Canada Pacific Railway, at "such places as Indian Head and its "allied districts, have become famous. "Its possibilities are shown by the "average of tests made at the exper- "mental farm in 1902, when eleven va- rieties of the most suitable wheat, "sown on April the 19th, were cut in "130 days; and yielded 4,314 pounds "of straw, and 43 bushels and 2 pounds "of grain per acre. Its mixed farming "area is excellent, its range cattle, "horses and sheep are the equals of any "seen in the north-west, and its tree- less portion is underlaid with coal. The town of Medicine Hat is heated "and illuminated with natural gas. There are abundant deposits of brick, "pottery and clay clays."

Suave and dignified, Dr. Thomas Addison, manager of the General Electric company, is habitually polite and attentive, especially to the opposite sex. He was crossing the bay on his way to his Berkeley home at his usual hour one afternoon a fortnight ago, when he noticed beside him an old woman laden with baskets and packages. She tried to carry them all simultaneously, but it was a vain effort, and as the boat reached the mole Dr. Addison came to her rescue. "Let me carry some of those traps for you," he said, kindly. To the elderly dame, such attentions could be inspired by but one motive, and the look she turned on him was one of appreciation as well, as gratitude. "I don't know what office you're running for, sir," she said. "But whatever it is, I pray the saints you'll get it!"—San Francisco News Letter. His Papa's Trousers. Not long ago little Charles' mamma had a pair of trousers made for him out of a pair that his papa had relinquished. Little Charles was vastly pleased with these trousers. He felt that he must be getting up in the world when he could wear the same trousers that his papa had once worn, and he put on airs and boasted about himself to the other little boys in the neighborhood. And so one evening when Charles' papa came home with a new suit on the little fellow looked at him admiringly for awhile, and then gleefully danced around, clapping his hands and shouting: "Oh, papa, what a nice suit, but I'll soon have those trousers, won't I, mamma? Hurrah!" Still, somehow, the prospect that was so pleasing to little Charles didn't strike his papa in just that way.—Cleveland Leader. Fears Were Not Realized. A little six-year-old Farmington girl who had been interested in watching the weather flags as she passed them on her way to school lately noticed the absence of the signal, and, turning, she ran home as fast as her little legs could carry her, ran into the house and up to her mother, crying, very excitedly: "Mamma, mamma, the world's coming to an end!" "What do you mean, child?" said the mother. "Why," said the little girl, "there ain't any flags on the Chronicle office; we ain't going to have any more weather, so the world must be coming to an end, ain't it?" Her mother tried to reassure her, but she was greatly relieved next day when she saw the flags flying as usual.—Lewiston (Me.) Journal. A Beauty of the Arctic. There is a beautiful bird called the rosy gull, very few specimens of which exist in any museum, and whose entire life is spent in the immediate neighborhood of the eternal ice that surrounds the north pole. A paper describing these curious birds was read at the recent meeting of the American association in Boston by Mr. John Murdoch. They follow the advance of the ice toward the south as winter comes on, keeping near the loose edge of the floating pack ice, and then retreat with it toward the north when the summer sun begins to rise high upon the arctic circle. The bird is small and a deep rose color, whereas all other gulls are white—Youth's Companion. The Advantages of Youth. She looked at him with hold disdain. "I hate you!" she cried. "Dollie," he murmured, with extended arms. "I hate you, I hate you!" she shrilly repeated. But he came a little closer. Then she sprang at him and kicked his shins with passionate fervor. For she was but six, and a child can express anger in a way that a woman would be glad to—but luckily doesn't dare.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Libelous "They Say." The one term "they say," is responsible for nine-tenths of the lies which repetition and familiarity convert into seemingly bona-fide evidence. One usually hears an exciting bit of gossip launched forth with these words, while at the same time the speaker adroitly shields herself by declaring that, personally, she does not know it to be true. The man or woman who thus screens himself or herself is nothing short of a coward—Josephine Hill, in Woman's Home Companion. THE MARKETS. VERY EASY FOR HER. A "woman's reason," with all its traditional lack of logic, came out in an amusing fashion at a recent dinner party in Brooklyn, relates the New York Times. In the course of the evening the company mathematical bits of the Flow-old-is-Ann variety, when one of the company, with explanations that the next problem would not be a very difficult one, questioned as follows: "If a bottle and a cork together cost $1.0, and the bottle cost a dollar more than the cork, how much did the cork cost?" Almost instantly one of the ladies was ready with the answer: "Why, the cork cost five cents and the bottle $1.05. That's too easy." The lady's husband, familiar through years of experience with her poorful lack of skill in figures, looked up in astonishment. "Heavens!" he exclaimed, "How did you come to get that so soon?" "Why, my dear," was the reply, "corks always cost five cents, don't they?" The Mikado a McAdoo. "Who's this McAdoo's what's fighting in the Rooshuns?" asked a man with Donegal whiskers in a Third avenue elevated train. "You don't mean McAdoo," answered the man addressed. "It's 'Mikado', accent on the second syllable; Mikado, so. Ah, gwan," said the man with the whiskers. "It's McAdoo. Spellin' don't change it. It's the same as McAdoo, th' pleece c'missioner. There's no fighters in the wurrid looke th' Irish." "But the Mikado is not Irish," persisted the other man. "He's a Japanese, and his family has been Japanese for 2,500 years. His name isn't 'Mikado', simply is a title, like. Emperor." I doubt it," said the man with the whiskers. But if he ain't Irish he fights like an Irishman. How could a McAdoo help fighting?"—N. Y. Press. A Physician's Advice. Yorktown, Ark., March 7th—Dodd's Kidney Pills must not be confounded with the ordinary patent medicine. They are a new discovery, a specific for all diseases of the Kidneys and have been accepted by physicians only after careful tests in extreme cases. Dr. Leland Williamson, of this place, heartily endorses Dodd's Kidney Pills "as a remedy for the various forms of the diseases of the Kidneys, pains in the back, soreness in the region of the Kidneys, fouling-smelling urine and cloudy or thickened condition of the urine disarrhism. Inflammation and Congestion of the Kidneys and all kindred complaints." Continuing, he says: "I could mention many cases in which I have prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills with success. For instance, Mr. Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria haematuria or swamp fever three times, kidneys weakened, continual pain and soreness in back, which made him very nervous, had a little fever and sometimes chilly. Urine changeable, but generally very high-colored, an old chronic case who had taken much medicine with little effect. After taking Dodd's Kidney Pills about six weeks, he was entirely cured and had gained fifteen pounds in weight. The last time I saw him, he was the picture of perfect manhood." "Honest fisher folk. Huh!" snorted the editor, "you'll have to change that." "Why so?" demanded the author. "It sounds ridiculous. I never knew a man who went fishing who was quite honest." -Philadelphia Press.

HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ESCAPED DREAD CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA. Catarrh Robs Women of Health and Beauty. Pe-ru-na Makes Women Healthy and Beautiful. Miss Amanda Johnson.

In far the conclusion th with my head and of my friends I trouble, I though I did so, for in a four weeks my general health of the head w trouble and am Peruna."—Miss No Woman Afflicted With Catarrh Can Be Either Beautiful or Attractive. --- Many a girl has regained her faded beauty, many a matron has lengthened the days of her comely appearance by using Peruna. Peruna produces clean mucous membranes, the basis of facial symmetry and a perfect complexion. The women have not been slow to discover that a course of Peruna will do more toward restoring youthful beauty than all the devices known to science. While it is true that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located, yet it is advisable for everyone to use Peruna as a preventive and not wait until catarrh Feel bad today Over-eating, working and drinking may may have caught cold.

New Jersey street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I think I must have been troubled with catarrh ever since I was very young, aggravated each time I caught a cold. This did not prove sufficiently serious to be obnoxious until last winter. Then my head and nose were so stopped up that I felt I must do something. Peruna was recommended to me by a friend. I used it for four weeks, and found to my relief that it cured me. I have not had a bit of trouble since. My head is clear, and I can safely affirm that Peruna cured me."—Miss Flora Hauser. Hundreds of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na of Annoying Catarch. DR. HARTMAN has probably done more than any other physician toward popularizing a means of escape from the facial deformities, such as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive breath, dry cracked lips, due to the ravaging effects of catarrh. He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong study. His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence. Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the bounds of the United States that has not heard of Peruna. But the largest majority have used Peruna. The multitude of people that have been cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna can never be known. ABOVE ALL OTHERS TOWERS FISH BRAND WATERPROOF OILED CLOTHING.

For a number of years I had pain in my head around my eyes, and I thought it was because my eyes needed treatment, so I went to an oculist and had glasses fitted to my eyes and wore them for some time, but felt no relief whatever. In fact, I felt worse than before, and came to the conclusion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my head and that it must be catarrh. As so many of my friends had used Peruna with benefit for this trouble, I thought I would try it. I was not sorry that did so, for in a short time I began to improve, and in four weeks my eyes were in splendid condition, my general health was much improved and all the catarrh of the head was gone. I was glad to get rid of this trouble and am glad to endorse such a good medicine as Peruna."—Miss Amanda Johnson. "I write to tell you how much Peruna benefited me.

After the flood only a chosen few remained in the narrow path of the league's effort for righteousness. The work of these few has been intermittent and very tardy. So Providence began showing itself in ‘the form of death. Then fear seems ‘to have fallen upon the people to some ‘extent. Hence, when the A. M. E. ‘church, through Rey.
