We expect to hear from him next Sunday in some of our churches. First Baptist Church Items The funeral of Mrs. Harriet Anu Lofton, of 3972 Finney avenue, was preached by Dr. E. C. Cole, at the First Baptist church, last Sunday, directly after the morning covenant meeting was over. Dr. Cole impressed his hearers with the fact that while death leaves a vacancy in the home and the church, yet it is a warning to the living that they, too, must die. He advised the relatives and friends, one and all, to prepare to meet their God. At the conclusion of his sermon, the Ladies' Coats society, of which she was a member, went through their usual performance, which was very interesting. Owing to the fact that some of the converts were not ready last Sunday to be baptized, the baptizing at the First Baptist church was postponed until next Sunday, 1 p. m. G.F. HOLLAND 2643 MARKE DOCTOR ARTHUR. Some months ago Mrs. Caroline Ballard, of Brooklyn, Ill., found favor in Dr. Arthur, and certain papers were drawn up with the understanding that Dr. Arthur should take care of the lady, Mrs. Ballard, until her death, and the property that she owned should be turned over to Dr. Arthur and his heir. Not long since Dr. Arthur brought Mrs. Caroline to St. Louis, and put her in the old people's home. What The Balladium Man and the public want to know is. Why is not the doctor caring ODD FELLOWS' HA 27th AND FR VAC NIGHTS for all Secret and FALLows' HALL ASSOCIATION 27th AND FRANKLIN AVE. VACANT HTS for RI for all Secret and Benevolent Societies.

Will some one tell us what manner of a man is Arthur. They tell us that the Medicine Man is losing ground in Brooklyn, Ill. They are just getting their eyes open, and they are on to him. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1904. THE RACE QUESTION. The Relation of Colored Y. M. C. A. to the Public and the Public to the Association. Mr. Editor—Every man of Negro blood, even the most depraved, is painfully aware of the unfortunate condition of his race in the United States; nay, in the world even. Every man of Negro blood desires to do something to improve the condition of his race. What shall that something be? "There's the rub." Some say the salvation of the race depends on getting wealth. Some say it depends on getting intelligence. Some say it depends on getting improved industrial conditions. I say it depends on improved moral conditions. The moral Negro has the combined morality of the world at his back. The immoral Negro has the world against him. The charge that we are immoral is the strong point made against us by our enemies. This charge of immorality justifies, in the minds of a majority of the white people of the country, and of the world, the lynchings, the murders, the denials of civil rights, the denials of political rights, the obnoxience and detestation in which the race is held. I do not say the charges are true; but I do say they are made, are believed, and are efficacious in the work of our degradation. Here then is a point upon which all Colored men can agree, and upon which all can work. Each individual can, by taking thought, improve his own morals, and can work for the improvement of the morals of others. One of the most powerful instruments used in modern times for improving the morals of a people is the Young Men's Christian association. The mere existence of such an association is a protest against vice. It seeks to keep young men and women from entering upon a career of vice. It seeks to win those back who have already been upon such a career. It seeks to replace the saloon, the gambling hell, the brothel with innocent places of resort, where the young and the old can be entertained without being degraded. The young men who have established themselves at 2633 Lucas avenue, deserve not commendation only, but the active, social, mental, moral and pecuniary support of every well wisher of the Negro race. On the 18th of this month they give an entertainment for the benefit of the association, at the Odeon. They need funds with which to employ a secretary. They need a gymnasium, they need a library, and etc. All these and more are needed to make the room attractive to the young Colored men and women of the city You can help them. Will you do it? PETER H. CLARK, P. H. C. Easter Ball at Masonic Temple. The turning out of the Knight Templars in the grand Easter ball was one to be remembered. The men in their brilliant uniforms looked as attractive as the ladies in their beautiful Easter dresses. We noticed among the numerous ladies Mrs. F. H. Burles, accompanied by the tonsorial artist, Mr. Kent. But she got lost from him when Sir Knight Fleming, of Finney avenue, stepped up. Oh, we were on the lookout. Mrs. Julia Henderson and friend, of 2605 Leffingwell, were among those present. Mr. W. H. Harrison, of 2607 Walnut, was present also. While Prof. J. W. Grant, Gordon and Allen, the two detectives, were talking, Mrs. Harrison remarked that he was a judge of — Well, you know. A quiet listener was compelled to remark that he wasn't a judge, because he didn't get there often enough. Sir C. W. Prentice was present, looking as dignified as a lord and as sagemn as one of the prophets. Sir Stevens stood watching and guessing how he could make points meet. Oh, the Knight Templars were all right. Miss Mary Johnson, of 4261 Garfield avenue, will get married next June to a gentleman who lives in Brooklyn, Ill., where the famous medicine man, Dr. Arthur, lives. The Easter mid-week drama, "Ici on Parle Francais," at All Saints Church for the benefit of the Woman's Auxiliary, has been postponed until Thursday evening, April 14. All tickets dated April 7, good April 14. Pickett's Headache Powders give instant relief. 2601 Lawton avenue. THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS AND CULTURE THAT OLD BLACK MAN Who Claims to Be the Editor of a Sheet Called a Newspaper. Last week an article complaining about a supposed mismanagement of the World's Fair appeared in The Eagle. HON. J. D. MILLER. (The Old Black Man.) HON. J. D. MILLER. (The Old Black Man.) We heard of two Negro men coming from Alabama, or some other state, claiming that they went to the fair grounds, and, after trying to get work, came back and told J. D. Miller, or the Old Black Man, that word had gone down the line that no Negroes need apply for any position at the World's Fair. Now they want the 9,000,000 Negroes to get their backs up because two Negro men did not get a position to sling hash at some one of the restaurants in the World's Fair grounds. We do not believe that such is the case, as we believe the Hon. D. R. Francis and the World's Fair commission would not stoop to such a small thing as that. Yet that Old Black Man is continually fighting at shadows. In 1898 he was grumbling because the party did not give him a position, and he then became a Democratic Black Man. Two years later he was at outs with that party. He came back in the republican party, and he has been a sorehead ever since, and hunting for notoriety, so he strikes at the World's Fair president and the commission. Such a Negro ought to be in the cornfield, or the cotton patch, where he can not attempt to engender bad feeling between the whites and the blacks. We will have more to say about this in the future. W. H. King, of 2341 Market street, has been confined to his bed for the past two weeks. He is better now. THE HOTEL TRAVELERS PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION BUILDING. The Travelers' Protective association will pay the compliment to the Louisiana Purchase exposition for erecting the first building over constructed for the use of a traveling men's organization at a world's fair. When the traveling men were called upon by the finance committee representing the World's fair authorities, and asked to contribute $50,000 to the general fund, their reply was that they would make it $100,000, which they $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents.

THE STATE HOTEL THE GATE OF THE MUSEUM raised to $107,000, and this was done before any other line of business had turned in its subscription. Subsequent to this, at their last annual meeting, held at Old Point Comfort, Va., in June, 1901, the idea of erecting at the World's fair a commodious and handsome T. P. A. building, which was originated and suggested by the St. Louis post of the T. P. A., was discussed and approved by the national organization. This suggestion has now been put into practical shape by the organization of the T. P. A. World's A. WORLD WORLD --- AT REST, 2601 Lawton Avenue. a perfect hemisphere, unembelished by a single rib of molding, is to be guilded and crowned by a Winged Victory. A beautiful colonnade of coupled Corinthian columns, each couple of columns crowned with a seated figure, will surround the drum of the dome. This construction will surmount the central mass, at each corner of which will be a gigantic sculptured group symbolical of the arts of peace: Music, Literature, Art and Architecture.

The people of Tibet rarely wash, finding it warmer to be dirty. The mercantile fleet of Japan ranks seventh in the world's shipping. France and England each own in Africa an area as large as the United States. The naval vessels under construction in the United States aggregate more tonnage than those afloat. It is more than six years since the battleship Maine was blown up. People will soon cease to remember it. Russia has cancelled her 1904 date at St. Louis. We shall meet, and we shall miss her, but there will be no vacant chair. Vast quantities of earth containing radium compound have also been discovered in the Llano mineral region near Austin, Tex. There are enough war correspondents and picture makers in the orient to put up a stiff fight against both Russia and Japan. “There is no danger of this country becoming involved in the far eastern war,” says the president, so that silences another lot of foolishness. The prince of Wales has a most extraordinary design tattooed on his arm. It takes the form of a fearful looking dragon, with open jaws bristling with rows of gigantic teeth and a row of spiked horns down the middle of its back. The Stockholm court has pronounced the Arctic explorer, Andree, to be dead in law, the legal term of disappearance having just expired. Andree left Spitzerbergen on July 11, 1897, with two companions in a balloon, with the object of reaching the North pole. A published photograph of President Smith, of Utah, shows him surrounded by 5 wives and 34 children. Seven of the children appear to have got away. Everybody looks well fed and well dressed, and the only thing lacking is the inscription: "How to be happy, though married." An Indian territory man of family fell in love with his neighbor's daughter, got her to correspond with him under an assumed name, disguised himself and finally married her. To test his disguise he stopped on his way to the wedding to inquire of his wife the direction and later had his own son help him repair the harness on his horse. That's going some. A Kansas schoolmarm boxed the ears of a pupil a few days ago. The boy told his mother and the next day the teacher received the following note: "Nature has provided a proper place for the punishment of a boy, and it is not on his ear. I will thank you to use it hereafter." Having failed to accompany the request with a diagram with cross indicating the proper place the teacher is not able to follow out the instructions. If divorces in the United States during the three decades from 1867 to 1904 had been the same per capita as in Canada, there would have been less than 2,000 in the entire country. In other words, the divorces granted in the United States would have been reduced by 668,000. This enormous difference, appalling in its suggestion of national laxity, indeed, to some, of national depravity, has, perhaps, never been seriously considered by the people of the United States. The San Francisco Chronicle states that under the national irrigation act it is proposed to impound all the storm waters of the state ar.3 fertilize the dry lands as far as it will go. The Truckee-Carson project now under contract it is said will eventually make from 125,000 to 150,000 acres available for agriculture. This will give homes for upwards of 3,000 agricultural families, giving new life to western Nevada and starting a movement which will not stop until all the available water is utilized. It was predicted before hostilities commenced that Russia, in the war with Japan, would pursue the Fabian policy of keeping out of the way of her antagonist, avoiding direct armed collisions and protracting the war until her dongty foe was exhausted by her own exertions. Subsequent developments tend to confirm this view. Thus far the Russians have fought only when they could not get out of it. While the Japanese have been rushing troops into Korea, the Russians have been moving away from instead of toward that country. THE LATE BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS Chicago Votes in Favor of Municipal Ownership. THE ELECTIONS IN MISSOURI Republicans Made Almost a Cleen Sweep in Kansas City, and in St. Joseph Except Mayor and Two Councilmen. Chicago, April 7.—Chicago voters went on record to-day in favor of ultimate municipal ownership of the street railways. The referendum question on this subject carried at the city election by a large majority. The vote seems nearly three to one in the affirmative. By similar votes the other propositions carried. These are: That the city council, instead of granting any franchises, should proceed at once under the city police powers and other existing laws, to license the street railway companies until municipal ownership can be secured and compel the companies to give satisfactory service. Second, that the board of education should be elected by popular vote instead of by appointment by the mayor. One of the street railway propositions was that the so-called Mueller act passed by the last legislature, authorizing cities to acquire, own and operate street railways, should be adopted and put in force. This proposition was generally indorsed by the press on the expectation that its carrying would strengthen the city in its negotiations with the existing companies and would commit the city to the policy of "ultimate ownership." Another street railway proposition adopted is that the city council, upon the adoption of the Mueller law, should proceed without delay to acquire ownership of the street railways under the powers conferred by the Mueller law. Of the thirty-five aldermen elected, 18 are republicans, 16 democrats and 1 independent republican. The next council will stand 36 republicans, 31 democrats, 1 independent democrat, 1 independent republican and 1 socialist. No political significance attaches to the elections in the various towns of the state. ELECTIONS IN MISSOURI Neff, Republicn, for Mayor, Carries Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., April 7.—Late returns show that Jay H. Neff, republican for mayor, was elected by a plurality of close to 2,600. All the republican ticket with the exception of William Bucholz, for police judge, was elected and the republicans will have a majority in the council. Hugh Brady, candidate of both democratic factions and the labor party for police judge won by but 47 votes, and a contest is likely. At St. Joseph. St. Joseph, Mo., April 7.—The democrats won the mayoralty in the city election Tuesday. W. E. Spratt was elected over George C. Crowther by a majority of 700. The democrats also elected two members of the common council, and the republicans captured two members. The republicans elected T. R. Ashbrook comptroller by a majority of 700; D. C. Reeves, president of the common council, by 1,000; J. P. Carolus, police judge, by 600, and Milton J. Bauer, city attorney, by 43. Elections in other towns throughout the state had no political significance. PROMINENT PIONEER DEAD Col. L. C. Ellsworth, a Wealthy Pioneer Citizen of Denver, Col., Passes Away. Denver, Col., April 7.—Col. L. C. Ellsworth, a prominent pioneer and wealthy citizens of Denver, died, Wednesday, of paralysis, aged 72 years. Col. Ellsworth came to Denver from Chicago in 1871. He was a member of the first constitutional convention of the state, and was receiver of the Denver & Rio Grande rail road when it was in control of the courts. CALL FOR A JOINT MEETING Miners and Operators in Iowa to Try and Reach Some Kind of an Agreement. Oskaloosa, Ia., April 7—An official call was issued from miners' headquarters here for a joint meeting of operators and miners on April 11, at which it is certain some agreement will be reached and the differences between the miners and operators satisfactorily adjusted. It is predicted that the 12,000 striking miners in Iowa will be back at work within a week. Pioneer Telegrapher Dead. Kansas City, Mo., April 7.—Martin D. Wood, who for 15 years was local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Co. died, Tuesday night, of paralysis, aged 60 years. At one time he was state chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Decreased Exports. Berlin, April 7.—Exports for the quarter to the United States from the consulates under the jurisdiction of the general consulate at Frankfort amounted to $8,909,769, a decrease from the preceding quarter of $2,934,233. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair-Tonics.

Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics.

The crop bulletin has been issued by the department of agriculture for Missouri: Throughout the greater portion of the state the month of March was milder than usual, the excess in temperature was most marked. The precipitation also exceeded the normal in most sections and was exceptionally heavy over the southeastern and south central counties, where the total heavy rainfall exceeded 100 mm. Heavy rains fell in that portion of the state on the 24th and 25th, washing fields badly and causing flood, which did great damage to crops and property along the streams. In some counties from four to six inches of rain fell in twenty-four hours. Excessive local rains also occurred in some of the central and northern counties. Very little snow fell during the spring, but in the northern counties the total fall ranged from two to over seven inches. The month has been generally favorable for winter wheat, and a decided improvement is noted in the condition of the soil in the southern section of the southern and a number of the central and northern counties, however, the crop is still much below the average, some correspondents in the Southern section reporting that only half a crop is indicated. In the southern counties a considerable acreage has been, or will be, plowed up. In the southwestern counties the weather is generally good, and up to the 23th the soil was in good condition, and oat sowing has been completed or is well advanced, and the early sown are up. Considerable plowing has been done in the localities a little corn has been planted. Early potatoes have also been planted, and some gardens made. Elsewhere communities as yet, the ground being too wet, although some oats have been sown in nearly all sections. Clover has been heaved out to a considerable extent in some districts, but not in others. It is tered in good condition, and grasses have generally started nicely. It is feared, however, that much of the clover sown on the 26th, 27th and 28th. In some of the southern counties oats that were up were also damaged, and some correspondents in those sections state that peaches were grown being in bloom or the buds just opening. Strawberry plants are reported in good condition in nearly all counties. No Room For Egyptian. Joseph Salem, the Egyptian student, who is studying agriculture in Missouri university, has left the university boarding club, and will probably advise his Egyptian and Turkish friends to go to school elsewhere. Salem's removal from the club is the result of a protest made by members of the club against the occupation of clubrooms by foreigners. A half dozen of Salem's oriental friends contemplated a course in Missouri university next year, and were arranging for rooms in the club. They intended to study agriculture and medicine. Contracts for State Fair Buildings. Contracts for state fire buildings. At a meeting of the Missouri state fair directors at Sedalia the contract for erecting three new stock barns and a 120-foot addition to the grand stand was awarded to T. R. Johnson, of Sedalia, his bid being $36,738. The structures are to be built of brick, with steel trusses and metal roofs, and will take the place of those destroyed by fire last year.

That the Russians, do not know when the newspapers have whipped them. That the war correspondents did not kill off quite all the Russians last week. That the beautiful thing about the song of the mocking bird is that he does not ask to have it published at "usual rates."—Chicago Advance. A Deplorable Accident. Miss L. E. Burgess, teacher of elocation at Stephens' female college, Columbia, met with a serious accident as the result of a 1st of April joke. To prevent her from holding her classes, a party of girl students locked the door of her bedroom, and when Miss Burgess awoke she found herself a prisoner. Her room is on the second floor, and she determined to surprise the girls by lowering herself from her window by means of bed sheets tied end to end. As she swung herself from the window her hand lost its hold on the sheet, and she plunged to the ground, 20 feet below. She struck her shoulder on a stone, splitting the bone of the right arm above the elbow, and was otherwise injured. A Stone For Collins' Grave. The prisoners in the St. Louis jail contributed $17 with which to buy a stone for the grave of George Collins, who was hanged at Union, for the murder of Detective Schumacher. The prisoners admire what they term Collins' "gameness." A letter written by Collins was received by the wife of Jailer Dawson, of St. Louis, in which he thanked her for her kindness during his imprisonment. Judicial District Changed.

Church, who murdered his foster parents at Warrenton, is locked up at the four courts at St. Louis. Ki'led By a Policeman. Walter Lewis, a negro thief, was shot and killed by Policeman William A. Murphy while resisting arrest in St. Louis. This is the fatality of an early spring. It sets everybody in anticipation and it awakens the spring poet prematurely. But with a background of flood and angry rivers behind it one would rather see things go slow and the transition more gradual. There is no end to the beauties of spring to the poet. There is hardly any end to the sufferings of the flood-stricken toilers in the valleys. The minister of agriculture in Prussia reports the practical extinction of the foot and mouth disease in that country. A Nursery Table Cover in Applique and Embroidery ```markdown ``` WOMAN AND HOME PARASOL DAYS ARE COMING Next Summer's Sunshades Are Noticeable for Their Novelty and Real Artistic Worth. Parasol days seem pretty far distant just now, but the shop folks believe in anticipating the calendar, and in the sunny south, whence so many northerners have gone, the parasol is as necessary as the furs that the New Yorker finds so comfortable. From Paris have come this season many charming sunshades, and a particularly attractive type is illustrated in the accompanying sketch. It is of white taffeta silk, with frill of filmy lace headed by an applique of La France roses and foliage in panne velvet in natural hues. A SOME PARISIAN NOVELTIES. fluffy bow and long ends of chiffon adorn the handle of light tinted wood. In parasol handles, the detachable kind that has come to us from the French capital and is among the essential accessories of the modish woman, are novelties more noticeable as novelties than for their artistic worth. Two are shown here. Both are of crystal with magnifying qualities. The round top on one handle encloses a tiny automobile, perfect in detail—a miniature toy—while within the transparent sphere surmounting the other handle is to be seen the realistic head of a pug dog. From another glass handle of this sort peers the head of a bulldog as unprepossessing as in real life. Popularity is not predicted for handles of this sort, but the woman who likes to advertise her fondness for dogs or autos, or to have something different from the ordinary type in the way of a parasol, is likely to take a fancy to the novelties—Brooklyn Eagle. Black Spots on Dishes. Salt rubbed on the black spots on dishes will remove them, and salt placed over a fresh claret stain on the table linen will assist it to disappear when washed. A Nursery Table in Appliqu THE authorities responsible for some of the best needlework designs have at last learned that the women of to-day prefer to spend their time and ingenuity upon pieces of good needlecraft which are quickly and effectively accomplished; and a glance around any of the exhibitions where specimens of the latest needlecraft occupy a prominent place is sufficient to show that applique work, aided by effective embroidery stitches, is becoming more and more popular," says the Ladies' Field. "This vastly interesting work is in so many simple forms that it is passing easy for the beginner to select a subject which may be carried out without the dread of failure ever before her eyes. Perhaps the simplest designs are those in which outline plays the more important part. The accompanying design illustrating a nursery tablecover, would be most useful and effective if arranged in various colored linens applique upon a pale blue linen ground. The birds, expressed in bright yellow linen, may be cut in one piece, and then when placed upon the groundwork are decidedly more boldly effective if outlined by a narrow chocolate-brown cord. The bills, feet, and eyes are best when worked solidly with the --- DAINTY CASE FOR RECIPES. Clippings Laid Within Its Folds Are More Accessible Than If Placed in a Drawer. For those who have felt the need of some little article which will hold the new recipes that promise so well, yet must be laid aside until a convenient time comes for trying them, there is provided a holder shaped like a miniature portfolio. The outer case is made of water-color paper, cut as indicated in the accompanying diagram, gummed on the flaps and folded in the middle. Clippings laid within this folded paper, NEW RECIPES CASE FOR RECIPES. which is then slipped inside the case, are more readily accessible than when laid on a shelf or in a drawer or within the leaves of a cook book, and they never slip out of their own accord and disappear, with apparent malice, as clippings have a habit of doing. By way of showing the use for which it is intended, suitable cooking utensils are marked in ink and tinted in color on the case, and its top is cut on their outlines. The inner paper is finished to correspond, and as it is a trifle longer than the outer case, a prominent utensil serves as a handle to withdraw it when necessary. The illustration shows the finished case, also the separate parts.—Agnes Warren, in Modern Priscilla. An Island of Women On a small island in the Greek archipelago there is a colony which is composed entirely of women. It is a sort of religious order, which considers it disgrace for one of its members to even look at a man. When a fisherman approaches the islands the women pull the gray cowls of their cassocks over their heads and turn their backs. Provisions are never imported, as the women raise their own products, being strictly vegetarians. Only the matron, who is annually elected head of the colony, is ever allowed to leave the island. The others remain on the island all their lives, taking their turn at tilling the soil, washing, housekeeping and fishing. Making a Real Lace Gown. Making a Real Lace Gown. Darned lace is greatly esteemed by connoisseurs. A whole dress made in this way is very beautiful. Take white Brussels net or point d'esprit for a foundation and make a princess gown well fitted to the figure. Cut a paper flower—a daisy shape is a good model—pin it on the net, and run a white silk outline around the edges. This may be done at intervals all over the net, the intervening spaces being afterward connected by a running line. After the flowers have been sketched in, so to speak, with the needle, the petals may be darned solid with coarse white embroidery silk, leaving a round center to be filled in with several French knots.—Chicago Post. Cover e and Embroidery ordinary satin stitch; the birds' markings, however, need to be carefully traced in fine lines of shadings. "The quaint Noah's ark-looking sort of trees may be treated in quite the same fashion, viz., the stiff upstanding foliage being cut in one piece and then outlined with a darker green cord, and their branches also expressed in satin stitch. The frogs can be made very decorative by being treated in a judicious mixture of applied work and darning. Carried out in brown frog color with black and yellow markings they would be a delight to little eyes. It will naturally suggest itself to workers that in carrying out this sketch a great deal of individual taste and skill may be exercised, and almost any amount of detail may be introduced. For instance, a little filoselle introduced here and there in birds and frogs will be found useful, while the amount of crewel and satin stitch lies purely at the will or the worker. "Less skilful—or less patient—workers might carry out this good nursery tablecover design almost entirely in outline, with feet, bills of birds, branches and all so treated, even to the frogs, though these alone, owing their needlework existence to filling would not come amiss."

The St. Louis Palladium is sold at the following places: EVEN POINTERS FOR THE READING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona 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. Kansas City is in line. So will St. Louis be next November. To work is honorable, but to try to live by your wits is bad policy. Hon. C. I. Filley is in the saddle, and the unification is complete. Who has resigned from the Egyptian Club? Now be careful. Don't say it was We have no time to abuse Democratic Negroes. We ask kindly of them to come back home. Let every Negro fall in line. Let the Negro democrats come back to their mothers' and fathers' party—the republican party. Watch out for our special issue of April 30. Every business Negro should have his name and place of business in that issue. Negro girls and women, men and boys, who expect to get through this world without work, will soon fill an early grave or jail. Thanks to the many friends of The Palladium, in the month of March we received 47 new subscribers. Thanks to all, and we look for still greater success this month. Some person wrote us a letter and signed themselves as "Pink Eye." We wish to call your attention to this fact: come out in the light and let us see or know who you are, and it will be doughnut against your life that you have black eyes. Please answer. Our people are subject to one great fault that is injurious to the race. It is this: They will patronize the white man in preference of their own color. The white man can mix a little sulphur, molasses and water together, and sell it to the Negro for blood medicine, and he will buy it like hot cakes. If your color has papers to sell, buy of him; if he has a little colored water in bottles, buy that, too, for it is just as good as the colored water that the white man has to sell. If you have any money to throw away, throw it away among your own race. Meet me at the Odeon on the 18th. Deep in the mine—a thousand leagues under the sea—will be one of the striking features in the third scene, first act, at the Odeon. Mr. Wm.

She is a guest at the home of Mrs. Alice Jones, 315 South Twenty-second street. Mrs. Carrie Floyd, of 2529 Belleglade avenue, entertained Mrs. M. A. Lawrence at dinner Sunday. Since Rev. W. Perry has been so successful in his church work, he has gained many members who rally 'round his banner. We wish him still greater success. If you have not the prices of the Newport restaurant, then go to Phillips, at 2807 Manchester avenue. There you can get 5, 10, 15 and 25 cents' worth of good victuals that will stick to your ribs.

We have sent that bill to St. Peter above, a ndyou must pay or you don't get in. Record-Breaking Year. Our whole foreign trade last year, exports and imports, was close to $2,500,000,000, the largest ever known. December showed the highest record of monthly exports; cotton sailed away in the air, and stayed there, like Gilroy's kite, its exports during the year amounting to $378,000,000, a figure never reached before, or anything like it. This huge aggregate was not in consequence of more cotton going out, but higher prices for it coming in. In shipments of grain the falling off was quite heavy at the Atlantic and Pacific ports, aggregating in the total 55,000,000 bushels. But in the face of this shipments from the gulf ports increased, not very much, but enough to point a significant moral. In the matter of the export of provisions, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., New York still holds its own and sends out more than half the total export. The tendency of wheat seems to go more and more to the gulf and through Canada, but the equipment of ships and railway arrangements so far hold the bulk of the provision export trade to this port. The natural current of this traffic is eastward from the plains through certain established centers, and it is not easily shifted. The import of the whole showing is that eternal vigilance is the price of New York's commercial primacy, and if she relaxes at any time it is at her peril—N. Y. Tribune. E. WAFFIELD. Prop. S. J.

To Whom It May Concern: I, Mrs. E. Hamilton, would like to know if you could inquire and give me any information as to the whereabouts of Mr. Elijah or William Hamilton. He used to be a member of the Methodist church, but perhaps he has changed his denomination, and belongs to the Baptist or some other church. He was a porter on a train running from St. Louis to Texas. His address was 2629 Lucas avenue. His wife's name was Emma Hamilton. I would like for you to do your best in trying to find him, as I am his mother, and have not heard from him for a year or two, and would like to hear from him. Please assist me in finding him, and the Lord will reward you. Before he left Indianapolis he belonged to Couburn Street Baptist church, and a brother to Rev. John Preston. Please let me know as soon as possible. Very respectfully. The Lyceum Dramatic Club is ready to present the grandest play of the season at the Odeon. --- A New Company.

THE WHALEBONE WHALES. Their "Baleen" Is the Most Valuable Product Obtained by Arctic Sea Fishermen. Another group of whales have no teeth, but the mouth is provided with several hundred closely packed horny, flexible plates or slabs suspended from the roof of the mouth and hanging on each side like a curtain, so that when the mouth is opened as wide as possible their ends are received within the lower jaw. These plates, which in some whales are nine or ten feet long, have pointed, frayed extremities, and are lined with long, stiff hair. This peculiar substance in the mouth of whales, which is called baenel, or whalebone, although it is not bone, is now the most valuable product which is yielded by these creatures; and to obtain it thousands of men brave the dangers of the seas, of the Arctic ice, and of the chase, killing the whales by hurling harpoons and shooting explosive bullets into them from a small boat. Among the various kinds of whalebone whales is the right whale, which reaches a length of 60 feet and yields 200 barrels of oil and 1,000 pounds of long, valuable baleen; the humpback whale, which is sometimes 75 feet long, but has short MOUTH OF GREENLAND WHALE. (Showing Strainers, or Baleen, Which Furnish the Whalebone.) bone and little oil; the finback and sulphur-bottom whales, of large size but comparatively little value; and the bow-head, Greenland, or polar whale. The ast is at home among the ice-fields, and is now the most sought of all the whales on account of the excellent quality and large quantity of its baleen. The maximum length is 65 feet, and its bulk is immense; the huge head represents a third of the length, and the tail is 16 to 20 feet across. The largest bow-heads produce several thousand pounds of bone worth five to six dollars a pound, and 6,000 or more gallons of oil worth 40 cents a gallon. In feeding, the baleen whales drop the lower jaw and swim forward rapidly, and all kinds of small floating animals—fish, shrimp, winged mollusks—pass into the yawning mouth. When the lower jaw is closed, the plates of baleen are forced upward and backward, the water rushes through the sieve formed by the hairs, the food is left behind, and is swallowed by the aid of the tongue. Some of the baleen whales are said to attain a length of more than 100 feet, and there are authentic records of examples measuring between 90 and 100 feet. The largest species of whale, and therefore the largest of all living animals and the largest creature that ever existed, so far as we know, is the sulphur-bottom whale of the Pacific coast. One of these was 95 feet long and 39 feet in circumference, and weighed by calculation nearly 300,000 pounds. The sulphur-bottom whale is further distinguished by being the swiftest of all whales and one of the most difficult to approach; it glisses over the surface with great rapidity, often displaying its entire length; and when it respires the immense volume of vapor which it throws up to a great height is evidence of its colossal proportions.—St. Nicholas. Game Bird Won the Day A game cock and a bull terrier pup had a few rounds all to themselves on the sidewalks of New Haven recently. The bird was walking up and down in a stately manner, now and then inspecting an apple that lay on the sidewalk, when the pup spotted it. He looked the situation over carefully and drew near to the bird. Once or twice he circled about and then, after having indulged in a round of looking, jumped forward. The game cock met him fairly, and ruffing up his feathers, made a jab at the dog. The terrier retreated. Again he rengaged his maneuvers, but the bird went up in the alr a foot or two and landed on the dog, who retreated hastily. By this time the game bird was become quite excited and was forcing the fight, while the pup seemed to prefer to remain in the defensive. BURIED WITH ALL HONORS. Beep, Canina Naval Veteran, Had a Record of Which Any Dog Might Be Proud. Many an old man-o'-warsman remembers Beep, of the Ossipee and the Alliance, the intelligent black poodle who passed her long life at sea cruising around the West Indies and voyaging to China and Japan with her master. Beep was a good sailor, but she had a truly feminine horror of guns, and when she observed preparations being made for target practice or a salute, she retired to the dark recesses of the storeroom, to remain there until the firing BEEP, PET OF THE NAVY. was over and all was still again. While the Alliance was in the China seas Beep's master received his discharge, but as the crew had become greatly attached to the dog he left her behind with his mess-mates when he returned, to America. She was, however, a dog of deep affections, and pined for him so much that she sickened and died while the ship was at Nagasaki, to the great grief of all on board. Owing to her 20 years in the navy it was decided to bury her with all the honors accorded to a dead comrade, so the tiny body was borne to a grave in the public gardens by a guard of sailors and marines and buried to the mourful notes of the dead march. A volley was fired over the grave and taps were sounded by the ship's bugler—N. Y. Herald. SURPRISED WIDOW BROWN. True Story of How Some Boys Had Real Fun Which Made Several Persons Happy. "Now, boys, I will tell you how we can have some fun," said Frank to his playmates, who had come together one bright moonlight evening for sliding and snowballing. "What is it?" asked several at once. "You will see," said Frank. "Who has a wood saw?" "I have," "So have I," replied three of the boys. "Get them, then, and you and Fred and Tom each bet an ax, and I will get a shovel. Let's be back in ten minutes." The boys all started to go on their several errands, each wondering of what use wood-saws and axes and shovels could be in play. But Frank was much liked by all the boys and they fully believed in what he said, and they were soon together again. "Now," said he. "Widow Brown, who lives in that little house over there, has gone to sit up all night with a sick child. "A man brought her some wood today, and I heard her tell him that, unless she got someone to saw it tonight, she would not have anything to make a fire with in the morning. "Now we could saw and split that pile of wood just as easily as we could make a snow-man on her doorstep, and when she comes home she will be greatly surprised." One or two of the boys said they did not care to go, but most of them thought it would be fine fun. It was not a long and tiresome job for seven strong and healthy boys to saw, split and pile up the widow's half cord of wood and to shovel a good path. When they had done this, so great was their pleasure that one of them, who had at first said he would not go, proposed that they should go to a carpenter shop near by, where plenty of shavings could be had, and that each should bring an armful. They all agreed to this, and when they had brought the shavings, they went to their several homes, more than pleased with the fun of the evening. The next morning, when the tired widow returned from watching by the sick bed nad saw what was done, she was indeed surprised, and wondered who could have been so kind. Afterward, when a friend told her how it was done, her earnest prayer, "God bless the boys!" was enough of itself to make them happy.—Our Dumtl Animals. Monkey Acts as Shepherd. An African shepherd, living in a hut on the African veldt, once caught a monkey when he was out with his flock and took it home with him. He took care of it and fed it, and the monkey used to go out with the shepherd every day, until at last it got to know the goats so well that it could be trusted to take care of them all alone. So when the shepherd did not want to go out the monkey could remain with the flock all day, and then drive home to the kraal at night, riding on the back of one of the goats. Travels of a Reindeer. A reindeer in Finland costs only about $7.20. One of these animals recently traveled 130 miles in a day. FOR SUNDAY READING CONTENT. Although at times I suffer so, And feel the pangs of bitter woe, I murmur nor repine; The aching heart within my breast Only makes me swear rest. To know, dear Lord, I'm Thine. The tears that I have sometimes shed, From what mine enemies have said, I will never forget. Complaining not, I bear my cross, For earthly joys are all as dross To what Thou hast in store; I am the onlyolly tree. And that some day Till be with Thee, I ask for nothing more. -George McKenzie, in Boston Budget. SHORT RECORD OF A LIFE. The Bible Sums Up Enoch's Whole Career as One of Companionship with God. In a certain book of short biographies it is written: "Enoch walked with God." It is a very short record of a life; three words, says the United Presbyterian, but what remains to be said? There is a whole life in the short inscription. There are no details; none are needed, for we see the man. Whether it was yesterday or last year, he is the same. His whole course of life is that of companionship with God. There is no neglect of the affairs of daily life; there is no atmosphere too ethereal for others to breathe; there is no saintliness that separates; but just a good, wholesome, attractive life. He is fervent in spirit, but he is diligent in business; he keeps all his appointments, he is near by when he is needed; he has an open hand and a kindly heart; he is in sympathy with all that is pure and good; every one loves him, and feels better for being with him. But he walks with God. His life takes its course, character and influence from God. He is like a fountain which issues from an unseen rock in the mountain and flows near by the dwellings of men, where every one who will may drink and be satisfied. There is no great mystery in this, a something that is beyond the ordinary life. On the contrary, it is the ordinary life to every one who wills to have it so. It is a life in which God is ever present as an inspiration, a hope, a living force, directing in our plans, purposes and doings. We may illustrate: A man loves his father and delights to do his will. The thought of his father is ever with him, not always consciously, but subconsciously, giving direction to what he does. So the thought of God becomes an abiding presence, entering into the whole life. Not as separating from all the ordinary thoughts and work of life, but as determining their character, and giving their direction. One who walks with God goes in the same direction. His life is in the line of the revealed purposes of God, and it is his wish to do what God wishes to be done. He is a worker together with God. He has no plans apart from what he believes to be God's plans. He is not selfish, making his religion narrow and self-centered, but broad, worldwide in its interests and efforts. His sympathies are for all classes, and his hand is ready for good work as he may be able to do it. He does not walk in the counsel of the ungody; he does not stand on the street corners as companion to slinners; he does not sit in the chair of the scorner as his friend. He is actively engaged in whatever God is doing. And, more than this, he keeps step with God. If we do not so keep step with Him in the world, we soon fall behind, and find ourselves too late for some of His best things. What an honor, and what happiness! The companion of God to whom He reveals what is hidden from the world, and to whom He speaks the sweet words of abiding love! "He walked with God." So live that men will write it on your tombstone, and keep the memory of you in their hearts. SEEDS THAT WILL GROW The greatest sorrow in life for beings like ourselves would be to have no sorrow.—William Watkinson. Probably the most of the difficulties of trying to live the Christian life arise from attempting to half live it.—Henry Drummond. In constant dependence, in uninterrupted communion with God is your salvation, peace, joy, and your preparation for pure, faithful, complete living.—Froebel. A good deed is never lost. He who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love; pleasure bestowed upon a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward.—Basil. The foundation of pride is the wish to respect one's self, whatever others may think; the mainspring of vanity is the craving for admiration of others, no matter at what cost to one's self-respect.—F. Marion Crawford, in "The Heart of Rome." Music is sweetest near or over rivers, where the echo thereof is best rebounded by the water. Praise for pensiveness, thanks for tears and blessing God over the floods of affliction make the most melodious music in the ear of Heaven.—Thomas Fuller. Firm must be the will, patient the heart, passionate the aspiration to secure the fulfillment of some high and lonely purpose, when reverie spreads always its bed of roses on the one side and practical work summons to its treadmill on the other.—Samuel Smiles. WITNESS OF CHARACTER. The Forces of Nature, the Divine Revelation and Christlike Careers Testify of God. The Almighty God has not left Himself without witness in the world. "The invisible things of Him from the creation of the world"—as Paul well argues—"are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and godhead." Ever since there has been a universe to observe and man to scrutinize it, the being and will of a divine artificer have been discernible, "so that they are without excuse" who glorify Him not as God. Thus Paul by his rigorous logic, says the New York Observer, throws the whole blame for any theistic or agnostic view that men may hold and theodium of any declension from primeval truth, on the perverted wills of the men themselves. But the knowledge of the Deity as prominently revealed, and constantly witnessed to by the visible creation as eternal and omnipotent, is not enough. The Greek hardly bears out the emphatic declaration of the Authorized Version that the "invisible things" of God are "clearly" seen. What it says is merely that they are "under observation," or are "in view." The view of the Almighty which the physical world affords is but a shadowy and indistinct vision. It is an adumbration, not a clear-cut picture. Still it is valuable, and they are without excuse who neglect or reject it. The old argument from design may not perhaps be stated to-day precisely as Paley phrased it, but in its general features it has been reinforced rather than undermined by modern science. Human life is still to be conceived teleologically. It is to be lived for ends, and the "chief end" of man is God. There is one very distinct line of witness to the being and perfections of God, however, which remains remarkably influential in every age, and is itself the product of the teaching of a divine Revelation, and that is the testimony to truth presented by a godlike human character. If God reveals Himself in nature, He also discloses the grandeur of His being in the nobility of a redeemed soul. Christian character clearly reflects the glory of Him who made it. Man was created originally in the mental and moral image of his Maker. Primitive human nature in the Garden of Eden reflected the qualities of the great and good Creator as the calm surface of a clear lake gives back the image of the brightening ray that falls upon it from on high. But sin disastrously marred and defaced that moral image, blurring also its mentality, and what is seen now, even under the best worldly circumstances, is only a very partial and imperfect representation of the Deity in the character of Christian believers. Still such Christian character does reflect in a considerable degree the virtue and worth of the Creator, and is extremely valuable for purposes of testimony to the being and nature of God. A godly man is the best possible word of witness to his fellowmen concerning the divinity that saves and shapes human life. A thoroughly Christian character is like an apocalypse, opening up to the vision of surrounding humanity vistas of celestial perfection and glory finally to be attained by every believing soul. Every truly Christlike career is a continued story of divine strengthening amid human imperfection and frailty, and presents a tale of heroic endeavor which even the most careless observer cannot fall to mark with approval. Christians are like Bibles to other men. Many an individual engrossed with the cares and fired with the ambitions of this life, does not stop to study the Scriptures, but only reads those walking revelations which are constituted by flesh and blood, furnished by the consistent lives of men and women, who in all points are tempted like unto their fellows, and not wholly without sin, who yet are subjects of the Divine redemption, issuing in a gradual sanctification, which shall have its complete fruit in the perfection of another world. It is a wonderful and sobering thought that a man may in some sense be a sponsor for the Almighty God. By the life that you live men will judge your Maker. We say it reverently, you carry God's reputation in your hand. If you are low and coarse in your tastes and actions, men will argue that the God you serve is a Dagon or a Baal. If your walk is consistent and your habitual frame of mind Heavenly, men will believe that a God of grace and glory reigns above, and will more readily bow to His sway, and seek in their turn to become Godlike. Christ makes character, and character in turn is a witness to Christ. When Love Is at Its Best. It is not in the wild exuberance of the first hours of love that love is at its best; any more than the dashing noisy stream down the mountain side is at its best—because it makes such a noise. While the noise is pleasant, and makes sweet music, the real worth of the stream is when it broadens, and deepens, and becomes a steady current in the movement of the world or in the movement of a life. Christ's love for His own was of the broader and deeper kind, and endured unto the end. And this made Him the lover true. There are those who like the noise of love; the loud protestations of affection, siusted so loud that all the world may hear; but too often it is nothing but noise, the impulse of a moment, the enthusiasm of a new convert, the affection of the lover "at sight." Yet the love which endures, which abides through fair and stormy weather, is the steady love, expressed through the days and years of knowledge, and becomes part of the very life-stuff of people and nations. Be suspicious of the love that is noisy: rest yourself in the calm love, steady, silent, true—that when it speaks it speaks a language pure and abiding—Haptist Union. THE LADY OF THE MIDDLE AGE Miss Hapgood tells how she was cured of Fallopian and Ovarian Inflammation and escaped an awful operation by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I suffered for four years with what the doctors called Salpingitis (inflammation of the fallopian tubes) and ovaritis, which are most distressing and painful ailments, affecting all the surrounding parts, undermining the constitution, and sapping the life forces. If you had seen me a year ago, before I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and had noticed the sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and general emaciated condition, and compared that person with me as I am today, robust, hearty and well, you would not wonder that I feel thankful to you and your wonderful medicine, which restored me to new life and health in five months, and saved me from an awful operation."—MISS IRENE HAPGOOD, 1022 Sandwich St., Windsor, Ont. Ovaritis or inflammation of the ovaries or fallopian tubes which adjoin the ovaries may result from sudden stopping of the monthly flow, from inflammation of the womb, and many other causes. The slightest indication of trouble with the ovaries, indicated by dull throbbing pain in the side, accompanied by heat and shooting pains, should claim your instant attention. It will not cure itself, and a hospital operation, with all its terrors, may easily result from neglect. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. "Before I wrote to you telling how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady and spent lots of money in medicine besides, but it all failed to do me any good. My menses did not appear in that time, and "I will always recommend your wonderful remedies, and hope that these few lines may lead others who suffer as I did to try your remedies."—Mrs. T. C. WILLADSEN, R. R. No. 1, Manning, Iowa. Such unquestionable testimony proves the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over diseases of women.

Do Not Feel Fit For Anything The pain of rheumatism. The tired-out feelings. You must reach the spot—get at the cause. In most cases 'tis the kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys. Charles Bierbach, stone contractor, living at 3625 Chest- nut St. Erie Pa. says: "For two years I had kidney trouble and there was such a severe pain through my loins and limbs that I could not stoop or straighten up without great pain, had difficulty in getting about and was unable to rest at night, arising in the morning tired and worn out. The kidney secretions were irregular and deposited a heavy sediment. Doctors treated me for rheumatism but failed to help me. I lost all confidence in medicine and began to feel as if life were not worth living. Doan's Kidney Pills, however, relieved me so quickly and so thoroughly that I gladly made a statement to that effect for publication. This was in 1898, and during the six years which have elapsed I have never known Doan's Kidney Pills to fail. They cured my wife of a severe case of backache in the same thorough manner."

CONSUMPTION THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for April 10, 1904—Peter Confesses the Christ. THE LESSON TEXT (Mark & 72-2) 27. And Jesus went out, and His disciples, into the towns of Cassarea Philippi; and by the way He asked His disciples, saying unto them: Who doom men say that I am? 28. And they answered: John the Baptist; but some say, Ellas, and others, One of the prophets. 29. He swelt unto them: But whom say ye to me? And Peter answereth and saith unto Him: Thou art the Christ. 30. And He charged them that they should tell no man of Him. 31. And He began to teach them, that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32. And He espake that saying openly. And Peter came, and began to reake Him. 33. But when he looked about and looked on His disciples, he rekubed Peter, saying: Give the beehind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. 34. And when He had called . . . the people unto Him with His disciples also, safe unto them: Whoseover will come unto them, and himself, and take up his cross and follow me. 35. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall'lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's, the same shall save it. 36. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38. Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

On the way between Gallilee and the region of Caesarea Philippi. "Who do men say that I am?" "The question shows that Jesus had been thinking of His past ministry and its results. He had come to the conclusion that He was practically without reliable following outside the disciple circle, and that conviction is the key to all that follows in this memorable scene."—Bruce. He knew that all the better classes were hostile. He knew that the common people felt kindly toward Him, were glad to eat of His bread and be healed of their diseases, but—anything more? He did not think so. And how about the Twelve? He believed it was different with them, but at any rate the time had come to talk it all over with them, and so He asks the question. "John the Baptist:" So, Herod (Mark 6: 14). "Elijah:" Malachi (4: 5) had preached that he should return. "One of the prophets:" Matthew adds Jeremiah. But notice that no one so much as hints that anyone believed Jesus to be the Messiah. It was much to think Him a good man and prophet, but not enough. "But who say ye that I am:" With the emphasis on "ye." Think of the importance of the answer to Jesus. "Peter answereth:" We are not surprised; it was like him. "Thou are the Christ:" Christ in Greek; Messiah, Hebrew; both mean Anointed. "Tell no man:" The announcement would have been understood to refer to the Messiah of popular expectation and of course would have made trouble. "The Son of man must suffer:" Even to the disciples this news was a blow. "And be killed:" That the Anointed One had to do His work at such cost to Himself and then be cut off by a violent death in the very midst of it, was almost unthinkable to them. "Spake the saying openly:" He wanted the disciples to be forewarned; it would be test enough of their faith even if not taken by surprise. "Rebuked Peter:" Who was spokesman for all. "Get the behind me, Satan:" The words Jesus is said to have used in the wilderness temptation. In both cases He was putting down real temptation; Satan, figurative in both. "Thou mindest not the things of God:" Peter was tempting Jesus to avoid death by avoiding duty; was thinking of Messiah's work from the human point of view. "If any man would come after me!" That is, become my follower. "Let him deny himself." Not for the sake of denying himself; there is no virtue in self-denial per se; but for the sake of living for his fellow men and for God. "Take up his cross;" There can be no reserve, no limit to the principle. If the service involves the giving up of life itself, it must be done—that is, if one would be a follower of Jesus. "Whosoever would save his life," etc.: His life is himself. The person that is niggardly of himself, his energies, his service for others, or refuses to put them to worthy uses, wastes them. That life is as good as lost. "Shall save it!" Not "shall escape death," but shall make life worth living, and "what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world," if he fail of this? "When he cometh:" Taken by some as referring to a spectacular, physical return of Jesus to earth for a glorious Messianic reign, such as the Jews expected; others take it as oriental imagery describing the wonderful coming of the winning Spirit of Jesus into the world.

Lowndes, Mo., April 4th—Mrs. H. C. Harty, of this place, says Harty, of this place, says: For years was in very bad health. Every spring I would go to my own work. I seemed to be worse in the spring than any other time of the year. I was very weak and miserable and had much pain in my back and head. I saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised last spring and began treatment of them and they have certainly done me more good than anything I have ever used. I was all right last spring and felt better than I have for over a year. I am fifty and am stronger today than I have been for many years and I give Dodd's Kidney Pills credit for the wonderful improvement. The statement of Mrs. Harty is only one of a great many where Dodd's Kidney Pills have proven themselves to be the very best spring medicine. They are unsurpassed as a tonic and are the only medicine used in thousands of families. Tess—"Well, their engagement is off." Jess—"The idea! It was only announced yesterday.

Mr. C. C. Brown, of 7004 South Broadway, departed this life Friday April 1, after a long illness. He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and daughter, three sisters, four brothers and many relatives and friends. He was a brother to Miss M. A. Brown, of 3224 Lawton avenue, who buried her mother not quite a month ago. The family has our sympathy. At the Newport, 2321 Market street Easter Sunday being quite cold, the young ladies could not show off their pretty labs and Easter fronts in the different churches, but they knew everybody would be at the Newport restaurant.

We will be pleased to mention the company again soon. Miss Richardson, of 324 Montrose avenue, and Miss Segar, were there, but left soon because of illness. Mr. Tom Erwin was in great demand among the girls. They think him the only pebble on the beach. Mr. J. W. Hinton, of Boston, is in St. Louis, stopping at 2032 Walnut street. He is a gentleman of lesure, just the one for St. Louis' ladies—a single man, who is looking through matrimonial "ads." When last seen he was escorting one of our young widows up the avenue.

True Reformers. From Boston. Easter services were observed at Antioch church, the church being decorated very pretty by the ladies of the church. Prof. L. H. Petterson and his choir were complimented on their singing. Rev. F. McKinney, the pastor, spoke at morning services. The theme of his discourse, "The Resurrection of Christ," was taken from 1st Corinthians, 15th chapter, 20th verse. The sermon was a practical one, and many good thoughts were brought out. The subject was well handled. At 8 p. m. the ex-pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson, was introduced. He took for his text 1st Peter, 1st chapter, 34th and 35th verses. The reverend said he felt very much indisposed, but from the able sermon he delivered he was strong spiritually. All felt to be benefited and stronger to continue the Christian journey. At the close of the sermon an Easter offering of $20 was given. In the absence of the superintendent, J. A. Smith, Sunday, Rev. Jas. O. Edwards presided over the Sunday-school. Quite a large number of children were present; also several visitors. Mr. Edwards proved himself quite an instructor in the way he explained the lesson. Each teacher was well provided with Easter eggs for their classes, and as the little ones passed around and took an egg their countenances were so bright and so full of smiles that the teachers felt that they were well paid for their trouble. The B. Y. P. U. members were pleased to see their president with them again, he having been kept away by sickness. The meeting was very well attended, and yet there is room for improvement. A. Tillman, president; Miss Ella Williams, secretary. The annual sermon of the U. B. F. & S. M. T. will be the fourth Sunday in May. Full particulars will be given in The Palladium.

The celebration of "Easter Sunday" by the First Baptist Sunday-school of Bridgeton is said to have been the best given for many years. Rev. Smallie, pastor of the M. E. church of that town, gave a very interesting talk respecting the good work that is being carried on in that church. The parents spoke some very encouraging words to the pastor, superintendent and children. Miss Lydia Thompson is recovering from a two weeks' spell of illness. What will be going on at the First Baptist church, Bridgeton, Sunday, April 17? A grand rally, and you are invited. Tell your friends about it.

A curious fact in the psychology of cows is communicated to the world by the staff of the Technical College at Chelmsford, England. Cow-study has taught these experts that the cow is full of nervous sensibility and given to likes and dislikes. To a sympathetic milker, who is in harmony with her, she will yield much more milk than to a brutal, stolid, or unsympathetic milker. For instance, one Chelford milky mother of herds gave her favorite milker 19 pounds of milk, while to a less agreeable or intelligent hand she afforded only 15.
