Washington, of 2011a Walnut street, poet, song writer and reporter, returned to the city last Friday morning, the 15th, from Enterprise and Meridian. Miss. Near the former place is where his parents reside on the farm. On being interviewed Mr. Washington said that as far as he could see the Negroes are doing better as a whole in the South than they are in the North, from the very fact nineteenth of them are working and three-fourths of them are living in their own homes in the cities or on their own farms in the country. "I was [Name] really surprised when I learned that the state of Mississippi, or rather most of the towns, had a vagrant law, which served to compel any one to work or go to the chain gang; hence I judge that the operation of that law and also the discrimination of which the Negroes are subjected to in the Southland, has for its tendency to benefit them rather than degrade them. Hence I spared no pains in telling them that in my lectures at the different churches, which I visited on the 10th inst. I told them that I thought, everything considered, the South was the best place for the Negroes, and the thing for them to do was to unite, work hard, save their money, concentrate their wealth, live upright, stand up always for the right, serve their God right, and they will get along better all over the South. I advised them never to come North to live unless they have their minds fully made up to work and strive, day and night, to better their conditions and take full advantage of every opportunity that presents itself to them here, for I really thought that there are too many Negroes in the North now, living in idleness, and in fact some of whom would stoop to anything rather than work for an honest dollar in God's country, and are so free until they don't have to work. That is the condition of some of the Negroes in large cities North. Some of them are staunch members of the church and are high up in society, but would do anything that is wrong without the least hesitation. Hence I feel safe in saying that in the course of time they will be mistreated in the North just the same way as you all are here, because God is not pleased at the way some of them are living there. Of course don't understand me to say that everybody is doing wrong. There are thousands of good people up there, good Christian men and women, ladies and gentlemen who would not do a wrong for anything. They work hard, save their money and, in fact, a goodly number of them are living in their own homes, and others are buying homes. You can readily see that this class is the kind of Negroes to live in the North, for they are the ones that are taking advantage of the privilege which the white people are giving them." Mr. Washington has an interest in the farm near Enterprise, Miss. He also has a good paying business at the above number, and hires help for his wife. He also works himself at the Mercantile library, corner Broadway and Locust. He writes songs and hymns for any and all occasions, also short and long stories for several of the different newspapers in the city. He is the reporter for Dr. E. C. Cole's church, corner Fourteenth and Clark avenue. WHERE WERE YOU?

It is to be hoped that when the gentleman gets ready to leave Springfield he will not steal away, owing his landlord, as he did when he left St. Louis.

VIRGINIA AT THE WORLD'S FAIR While the various concessionaries at previous Expositions have endeavored to reproduce, as a midway attraction, the wonderful mysteries of the Oriental Eastern countries, it has remained for that typical ethnological artist, Mr. Gaston Akoun, to bring before the visitors at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition an aggregation of the magnificent splendors of oriental life in the East, which for brilliancy, magnitude and active natural portrayal by means of real life exhibits has, undoubtedly, eclipsed anything in this line ever before attempted. ```markdown ``` MYSTERIOUS ASIA. MYSTERIOUS ASIA. Akoun's Mysterious Asia and Empire of India, the Pike's Greatest Educational and Amusement Feature, World's Fair, St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Akoun, who is a Parisian by birth, has the advantage of former experiences at no less than twelve previous expositions, where his marvelous successes were continuously repeated, and as a successful caterer to an amusement-loving public his fame spread far and wide. The general plan embraces a most interesting representation of Asiatic countries, including faithful reproductions of the most historic and educational buildings of India, the Mahal Temple of Agra, the Rain Sipri of Almiadabad, street reproductions from historical Delhi, Calcutta, with its picturesque bungalows, and decorated buildings, grill workers, with their actual material, such as mosaic and ceramic panels, carved in inlaid wood. Bazaars teeming with commercial activity, with native vendors in the picturesque costume of their native country, form a part of the attractions. Ceylon, with its attractive tea houses and kiosks, inside of which the visitors witness the process of drying and rolling tea, which is served by native Singalese in purely oriental fashion; Burmah, the land of white elephants, its idolatrous inhabitants, and the Golden Temple of Rangoon; Burmese musicians playing upon their peculiar native instruments, and Burmese dancing girls doing their fantastical and religious dances. A point of interest is Persia, the mysterious country of Asia, with its rug market, architectural buildings, caravans, sedan chairs, dromedaries, etc. In the bazaars are seen types of Persian traders showing the art of weaving rugs. There are brass chiselers, candy makers, fortune tellers and fakers displaying and selling their waters, consisting of silks-draperies, laces, ornaments, embroideries, jewelry and other articles seen in course of manufacture by natives. In connection with this special amusement feature is a beautiful and conspicuous building erected in the original Oriental style of architecture, known as the Oriental Theater, where performers from the Oriental countries appear in numerous and amusing features. Nautch, Jar, Castanette and all characteristic national dances are given in oriental style of their respective countries. Grand parades representing the Rajah and the gorgeous Durban festival take place hourly. On a gorgeously-caparisoned elephant, driven by Hindoos, holding heavy silver spears and attended by native musicians beating tom toms and playing upon flutes and other native instruments, the Rajah is seated in a golden-embroidered hoodah. Elephants carry kiosks loaded with passengers. These are followed by a multitude of singing and shouting natives, riding in every description of conveyance typical of their native countries. The entire production cost over $200,000. For the past two years Mr. Akoun has had abroad special representatives in search of new attractions, and at considerable risk and expense, obtained the consent of the various tribal kings and rulers to allow their subjects to leave their native country. In the entire reproduction there are upwards of 750 people, including men, women and children. Continuous performances given daily from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. S. L. Pickett. Drugs fresh daily. Don't pass his door—2601 Lawton Av. 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. OZONO. iron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain question: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

Secretary of State—Sam B. Cook. Auditor—Albert O. Allen. Treasurer—James Cowgill. Attorney-General—Elliott W. Major. Railroad and Warehouse Commis- sioner—H. Rubey Ogelsby. Jefferson City, Mo., July 22.—After an all-night session of the Democratic state convention ending with the nom- ination of Joseph Wingate Folk, of St. Louis, for governor, a speech from the nominee and a short one from his principal antagonist, Harry B. Hawes, who promised to work for the ticket, g recess was taken until 10 a. m. HON. JOSEPH W. FOLK. Immediately after the convention was called to order for the third day's session, the name of Thomas L. Rubey, of LaGrange, was placed before the convention for nomination as lieutenant-governor. C. C. Crow, a delegate from St. Joseph, rushed to the platform and offered a resolution that a committee of three be appointed to request Secretary of State Sam B. Cook to refuse to allow his name to be presented for nomination. This was the first open declaration that there was opposition to Cook, and instantly many delegates were on their feet demanding that the resolution be tabled. The chairman declared that the resolution was out of order. No other nominations for lieutenant-governor were made, and Rubey was nominated by acclamation. Nominations were then declared in order for secretary of state. The names placed before the convention were James A. Todd, R. W. Mitchell, L. H. Musgrave and Sam B. Cook. Cook's name was received with an ovation. Cook was nominated on the first ballot. The vote: Cook, 447½; Mitchell, 122½; Musgrove, 61; Todd, 49. When, order was restored long enough for the result of the ballot to be announced, and it was declared that Secretary of State Sam Cook had been renominated, the demonstration was resumed, and it did not stop until Mr. Cook had mounted the platform and endeavored to quiet the delegates by motioning for silence. He made a brief address, declaring unswerving allegiance to Mr. Folk. Mr. Allen, the present incumbent, was renominated for auditor on the first ballot. The vote was: Allen, 574; Marmaduke, 113½; O'Meara, 19½; Pits 2. The demonstration following the announcement of Allen's nomination was one of the longest and most enthusiastic of the convention. Judge James Cowgill, of Kansas City, was nominated for state treasurer on the first ballot. H. Rubey Oglesby was nominated for Railroad and Warehouse commissioner After the tickets had been nominated and the delegates were hoarse from cheering that had prevailed much of the time during the session, the convention settled down to finishing up the business before it, and listened attentively to the speech of congressman W. D. Vandiver, who had been temporary chairman, when he presented the name of Judge W. N. Evans, of Howell county, for election as chairman of the state central committee. The nomination was seconded by Harry B. Hawes, of St. Louis, who had contested the race with Folk for the nomination for governor. The rules were suspended, and Evans was elected by acclamation. Judge Robert H. Kern, of Macon, and Col. Moses C. Wetmore, of St. Louis, were elected presidential electors by acclamation. A Burning at Belgrade.

United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending July 18, 1904: The weather during the past week was generally favorable. The days and nights were warm. The temperature was normal in the northwest section; about 2 degrees below normal in the southwest, southeast and northeast sections, and 1 degree above normal in the central section. No rain fell in the southwest section during the week, and only light scattered showers elsewhere, except in counties along the Mississippi river where heavy rains fell during the first part of the week. There was some local damage done in St. Charles, on the 11th, and in Mercer county on the 13th, by heavy rain and high wind; and on the 11th a wind and hall storm caused considerable damage to crops near Idumea, Douglas county. The wheat harvest is practically completed; and threshing is in progress in many counties; the yield is light and quality very poor. Wheat was considerably damaged by rust, and by sprouting and molding in shock. Oats have suffered very much from rust, and while harvesting has been pushed, much of the crop is dead ripe and not cut; it is lodging, and much of it has fallen down. The yield is expected to be light. Corn made rapid growth, and where cultivated it is of good color. Cultivation made good progress during the week, and considerable corn was laid by. Corn in the southern portion of the state has passed the stage where it can be cultivated and is very weedy; the fields in the northwest and northeast sections are fairly clean but the plant is in irregular stages of growth, ranging from six inches to six feet tall. Considerable of the crop is in silk and tassel, and in the extreme southwest it is in the roasting ear. Cotton, in Dunklin county, is in very good condition; the plant is small but well formed and full of squares, and is blooming some. In New Madrid county, cotton is backward; owing to too much moisture the fields have not been cultivated and are getting foul. Hay harvest progress under favorable conditions during the week, and the yield will be heavy; there has been some slight loss by rotting, owing to excessive moisture. Apples continue to drop, and in many localities are infested with scab. Peaches continue to promise fairly well. Berries and grapes continue in excellent condition. Pastures and gardens were never better. GEORGE REEDER. Local Forecaster and Acting Director. Missouri's Roll of Honor. Missouri's Roll of Honor. Two names have been added to the Missouri Roll of Honor, and these will be revealed in the "Missouri Volume" to be issued the first part of next week. For many years Missouri had a roll containing twelve names, but recently it was decided that two other sons should be accorded the honor. The former roll is used in the new one, and is as follows: Thomas H. Benton, Francis P. Blair, John S. Phelps, Bishop Marvin, the great pulpit orator of the Southern Methodist church; David Atchison, stateman, who is the only man who was president of the United States for a day; Gov. David Barton, Senator Louis Bogy, Gov. Jas. S. Green, Dr. Lewis Linn, United States Senator James B. Eads, engineer; James S. Rollins, father of the state university. Kausas Gets Missouri Convict.

Fishback was discharged at Jefferson City from the state penitentiary after serving a five-year sentence for a robbery committed at the Coates House, Kansas City, the sheriffs of Lancaster county, Neb., and Kansas City Kas., were waiting for him, each with a requisition. In Nebraska Fishback is alleged to have escaped from the penitentiary before he had finished a term under the name of Tom Carter, and in Kansas on the charge of robbing the passengers in a Pullman car on a Missouri Pacific train in 1899. By mutual agreement he was surrendered to the Kansas sheriff. Charitable Worker Dead. Charitable Worker Dead.

In 1850 she was married to Julius Hertter, an attorney, who died 23 years ago. Mrs. Hertter was a member of the St. Louis Altenheim, and was interested in the German Protestant orphans' home. A Liberal Guesser. Arthur Best, a Platte City ice man, "weighs" ice by picking it up and guessing. His guesses are always liberal, so nobody has complained. Wolves in Ralls County. Ralls county farmers are planning a wolf drive. It is said that a pack of nearly twenty wolves is killing cattle and hogs in that county. Cut Off a Girl's Curls. Leslie Taylor, 14 years, 1422 Washington avenue, St. Louis, lost her pretty curls, cut off by a negro boy, who ran away and escaped. Ennis Simmons was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by Loren Menaugh at Lexington. The shooting occurred in a restaurant. Different stories are told as to the cause of the trouble. Menaugh claims the shooting was accidental. He says they were engaged in a friendly scuffle and he did not know the revolver was loaded. Simmons says the scuffle began in a half friendly way, but grew to be serious, and claims that Menaugh shot him intentionally. Menaugh was arrested and the case is being investigated. Sherif Identifies Negro a Murderer. Sherif Charles S. Bryan, of Plattsburg, Mo., arrived in Butte, Mont., the other day, and positively identified Warrior Estes, alias Robert Blue, a negro, as a fugitive wanted by the Plattsburg authorities for a double murder, Estes admitted that he was the man wanted, though he denied the commission of the crime. Estes is wanted in connection with the killing of Bertha Slaughter, a negress, and Adolph Nevins, a white man, during a fight at a dance three years ago at Lathrop, Mo. Charge Widow With Horsewripping Mrs. Louse Carise, a widow, was arrested at Joplin and placed in jail, charged with publicly horsewripping Frank Mattis. Mr. Mattis is one of the wealthiest mine owners in the Joplin district. He claims that the woman assaulted him with a rawhide on Main street, and he had her arrested on the charge of disturbance. Mrs. Carson has been arrested several times during the past few months on information fled by Mattis. She was released on bail. Asks For $50,000 Damages. A breach of promise suit for $50,000 damages has been brought in the circuit court at Kansas City by Miss Iva Noland against James A. Graves. Miss Noland is a stenographer. Mr. Graves is said to be the owner of large mining interests near Joplin, which is his home. He is also interested in a St. Louis grain firm. Mr. Graves has only been married six weeks. His wife was Ella Price, formerly of Clinton, Mo. Death of a Former Misso clan. The death of Ferdinand Hess, a former resident of St. Charles, occurred at his home in Toledo, O. He was 68 years old. Deceased served as adjutant of Col. Krekel's battalion in the Union army during the civil war, and afterwards was lieutenant commander of the St. Charles county militia. He was surveyor of St. Charles county from 1863 to 1867. He is survived by his widow and two grown sons. Didn't Skin the Calf. While Will Steinmetz, who lives near Armstrong, was walking in a field after a rainstorm recently he came across a calf that had been struck by lightning. He went to the barn and got his skinning tools and came back to remove the calf's hide. Steinmetz started in on his job and the next instant the calf jumped up and left on the run. The farmer didn't skin the calf. Wants Heavy Damages. August A. Tichachek has filed suit in the circuit court at St. Louis against the Transit Co. and the United Railways Co. for $50,000 damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained in a collision between cars.

The bill posters of the United States and Canada have offered to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. the free use of 1,000,000 feet of signboards in the United States and the Dominion during August for posting advertising matter. The service represents a cost of $250,000. The proposal was accepted. Bridgegroom Kills Himself. Robert Wilson, a groom of three weeks, committed suicide at his home in Hannibal by taking morphine.

Dunbar educational ,burvau presents Miss Inez C. Parker, the Negro poetess, cf Rolla, Mo., who will appear in a grand recital on Monday evening, July 25, 1904, at St. Paul’s A. M. E. church, 2800 Lawton avenue, Among ‘the first of her poems to attract attention was “Hope,” -vhich won the prize offered by the “Scroll,” a Chi- cago magazine. There was over 5 competitors in the contest. All except Miss Parker were white, We give here this beantiful and tender poem, which is both primatiye and cheerful. HOPE. The morn was dreary and gray with mist, By faintest glimmer of gold unkissed, Buc Hope Boked form with a. visior mist And whispered low, with a smile of light: “On heart, dear heart, be of good cheer “At noon ‘will be Talker, never fear!” Wind-awept the noon came—wet with rain, All sighs and shadows, all tears and pain: Bur Hope looked forth with a steadfas eve, And whispered low as the.wind swept by: “On heart, faint heart, be of good cheer. ‘At eve twill be fairer, never Year! ‘Phe shrouded gun found a cloudy tomb, ‘And ‘without a sar, came a night of "gloom: But Hone looked forth with a courage ne, And wispered low, in a voice divine: “Oh heart, sad heart, be of good cheer, ‘The morn will be fairer, never fear” INEZ C. PARKER. Nothing in the dialect style is more touching, picturesque and descriptive of a crude but soul-deep mother’s love than another poem of hers which we here print for the admiration of our readers. It is called “Honey Chile” and a mother’s love is touchingly de- picted. 7 HONEY CHILE. “He wan't very big; But was Jes as smart as howdy, An" fayier dan 4 pig: He'd sof brown cheeks wid two big alin- ples In ‘em when he'd smile, An! big Black eyes dat shined tke dol lars Dat was Honey Chile. *Spect you's sced"im lots 0° times ‘ACSettin’ in de do’, Wid ‘is. playthings all around ‘im, ‘Scattered on de flo’; He'd toys 0” most all Sorts an’ ‘seriptions Fon Td spent a pile Gittin’ everything I could to "Muse my Honey Chile. Use to have to, go an’ leave “im Soon as it was dawn, An’ when hed. wake he'd find Yis onc amy A one Kot Up an’ gone: : 1 didnt mow? my" worke was hard An" heavy” all dat while, 1 jes madg it light by thinkin’ ‘Bout ms Honey Chile. In.de evenin’, when de sun was Sinkin’ in de Wes, ‘ a come back—0l-Mammy-bira, Back to de lil) home nes’, Lagtinin’ 10 dat baby chirp, Sty meart wid, oy’ would “bite, An ‘Id sing'an’ be so happy | R ‘xin’ Honey Chite, Workin“ de white folks’ kitchen, 1 woule Jot’ an’ plan How I'd raise dat boy to be De fines kind of man. Lots o! times about de future Ta Ses have to smile, ‘Thinkin’ how T'was goin’ to ‘range {t Fuh my Honey Chile. But a day come when my hopes Dey vanished like de snows “Honey ‘Chile he went to sleep ‘To neveh wake no m0"; White his mammy's heart was broke, He jes lay still and smile— Looked jes Ike a Mt glad angel— ‘Oh, my Honey Chile!

Her genius is versatile and scales the entire gamut of wit, humor, pathos and the finer emotions and sentiments. Come out and hear her at St. Paul church, Monday evening, July 25, and you will be amused, charmed and al- most transported by her gentleness, quaintness ‘and fine original poetic powers. Messrs, Burns and Woods, the man- agers of Miss Parker, paid a compli- mentary call on Mrs. B. T. Washing- ton at the home of A. D. Langston, and were pleased with her praises of St. Louis and the World’s fair. _ Another important feature, and wonderful in its effect, is the great Filipino Scout band, which — wil render ono of its favorite nattonal aire “he recital begins prompily at ‘eight o'clock.

WHEELER, GRAND MUSICAL SUCCESS. ‘The first appearance here this ‘sea- son of Madame Sosoros, the “Colored Queen of Song,” at True Reformers’ hall, last Monday night, under the auspices of the Lyceum Sketch Club, was greeted by a highly appreciative audience, who were treated to a mu- sicai feast of rare merit. Sosoros has lost nothing in the sweetness and purity of voice that has earned for her the praises of the Buropean erities and the press, and her dazzling costumes and remarkable beauty made her appearance a feast for all eyes. in addition to the classical numbers of her programme she gave “Last Rose of Summer” and “Suwanee River” with such sweetness and pa- thos that she was called out several times.

Kern and Miss Theodosia Hutchin- son, accompanist. ‘At the reception that followed the concert, Madam Sosoros proved _her- self as charming an entertainer off the stage as she had beeon on it, in her amiable greetings of the many friends she made here during her previous engagements in this city. The hall was well cooled: by six electric fans. ‘The Sketch Club deserves the best measure of success for their efforts to give such splendid entertainment tothe St. Louis public. They are preparing to present the Byron Troubadors early in Angust. The Byrons made a tremendous hit here last season. BROOKLYN, ILL. The Knights of Labor were in ses- sion the past week.

The Pavillion, a summer garden, at 2629 Lawton avenue, is meeting with success as a place of amusement. ‘These amusing are like all oth- er minstrels, are ‘mitative and harmless, Some places where there is a little swearing could be left out However, the manager aud actors and fall concerned should be given credit for their gentlemenly bearing and handling of their patrons. Prof. Will- jams and company are indeed without a rival. Is wonderful and miraculous performance as a hypnotizing. Indeot it is a most wonderful feat. What we have seen has surprised ts, and many others. While be believe Prof. Wil- iams understands his power and his act, yet a pitcher may be taken to a well 99 times and on the 100th time be broken. So it might happen with Prof. Williams. Hon. Grover Cleveland laujis the ac- tion of Judge Parker in sending his “gold telegram” to the St. Louls con- vention, and expresses his satisfaction with she clatiorm: i a : » /3\ ( Farm ‘ia erry 000 | bat er Joi el nl IN 4 ea i, ae a ra oop tava ma | er Bg ceweccinl | (fceumeatcwee ai oe ae x nee ol ee ote ee eee eee RES ANNU Te puree Tees t h, BR ee eh LINCOLN INSTITUTE—MISSOURI STATE SSHOOL FOR COLORED a SSR ST ee SR oA Ma eaten ot: Gece ae eee, |: oe SEE erect et Nr sane ee cereal eR ES oe pectic tle fot.

Fields he will perhaps give you an explanation of the Palladium Man." SNOOK. Some twenty years ago white doctors would not feel the pulse of Negro patients unless he had on his gloves. We now think that great Dr. Fields needs a pair of rubber gloves to feel the pulse of his patients, especially those that work. Oh, by the way, what has become of Dr. Field's mother-in-law. We are of the opinion that he never thinks of the poor old lady. Mrs. E. E. Sandlette, of Atlanta, Ga., is visiting friends in St. Louis. She graduated four years ago from Morris Brown College.

There is no economy in buying cheap material or in having a poor but cheap dressmaker make your gown. If there is only a certain amount of money for clothes, far better have one good gown, well made, than three which will fade, get out of shape, and lose their beauty in half a dozen wearings. A tailor suit which is well made and of a material which will not only wear well, but which is of a soft, pretty shade which is not conspicuous, will give the wearer more real enjoyment and keep her looking trim and neat more than any other sort of costume. There are many women who think that the fussiness of a gown tells the story of the money spent better than the natty tailor suit. These women spend their little all on the accessories, leaving but little to buy the foundation and pay the dressmaker. The material is cheap but showy—two of the worst features in a gown for a woman in moderate circumstances. Combined with this are the effort of a poor tailor, and after three or four times' wearing, particularly if the gown is worn in damp weather, it has the appearance of being ready for the rag bag, and no brushing or pulling will help it. Then the showy material and elaborate trimming call attention to it every time it is worn, whereas it might, at least, have been less conspicuous. A woman frequently has to wear the same suit more than one season, and again that showy material tells a story, but this time it flaunts itself before all as a second season costume. All who saw it last year remember it, and comment on the fact that Mrs. Brown is wearing that same tailor suit with the green and red trimmings and brass braid. Moreover, says the Cincinnati Commercial, there is an art in dressing to suit the time. The business woman who understands the art eschews all frills and furbelows, and above all any display of jewelry during business hours. Her costume is such that she always looks neat but never calls attention to herself. The woman who simply shops must also watch her clothing. She may be granted more liberties than her business sister, but there is ample opportunity for a display of bad taste and there is lots yet to be learned by the majority of women who shop.

All mothers know how difficult it is to keep babies in stockings during the creeping period. One day of explorations on the part of a healthy baby will usually show perforated knees, and with the price for children's stockings almost or quite as much as for adults, one needs a long purse to keep the supply equal to the demand. An economical little mother of my acquaintance makes her baby's creeping stockings from the tops of her The Foot CREEPING STOCKING PATTERN. own after the feet have become impossible. I have endeavored to reproduce the pattern for others who might like to try it, and trust I have made it plain. The little arrows show how far the leg and heel are to be seamed together, and the crosses where the foot is first to be joined to the heel. To make, cut out on lines indicated, fold exactly in center and seam large part as far as the crosses. Open out foot part and lay on the smaller section, which should be the same size as foot part, sewing straight part of smaller section to the rounding part of heel, finishing at the toe. It is not difficult to make and is well worth the trouble.—Maud Hymers, in Orange Judd Farmer. What a Blush Really Is. Not long since we were asked to give a scientific definition of the word "blush." We have made an effort from an anatomical and physiological point of view to give the definition. A blush is a temporary erythema and caloric effulgence of the physiognomy, aetiologized by one perceptiveness of the sensorium when in a predicament of unequilibrium from a sense of shame, anger or other cause, eventuating in a paresis of the vasomotor filaments of the facial capillaries, whereby, being divested of their elasticity, they are suffused with a radiance effeminating from an intimidated praecordia.—Southern Medicine.

What to me are pain and sorrow? What but brightness hath to-morrow? Be the day however drear I am happy, He is near, Jesus is my friend. If friends do change or pass away, Beloved ones leave me some sad day (Some have left me, dear ones, too), I'll not complain, but seek anew, Jesus as my friend. Poor in purse art thou, dear heart? Rich in faith? Then joy impart. None too poor to give, I know. None too weak to lighten woe. Jesus is thy friend.

Reasons Why Everyone Should Belong to It and How They Can Do So. The young people of Burma have a pastime which affords great pleasure to crowds of people at certain seasons of the year. A number of young men, who call themselves the "Storm party," take hold of a long rope, the other end of which is seized by a similar team of athletes who are termed the "Sunshine party." Each of the opposing parties tries lustily to draw the other over a line, in the manner of a "tug-of-war." The struggle for victory is fierce and prolonged. If the one party triumphs it is considered certain that the prevailing weather during the next month or two will be stormy, if the other wins fair weather is thought assured for some time to come. There is always a sunshine party in the world, writes C. A. S. Dwight, in Young People, without formal organization indeed, but made up of all those who believe in God and so in the worth of human life, who have a religious faith and so a human sympathy, who do not shut their eyes to the sin and sorrow that is in the world while yet rejoicing in the belief that Christianity can banish the sin and heal the sorrow, who are not simply "cheerful pessimists," patiently resigned, but also convinced optimists, positively hopeful, who believe that sunshine is but God shining down upon the world, and who do all they can to transmit and scatter those gladdening rays to darkened hearts and murky corners of the earth. It is good to be a sunshiner in this sense—to do one's best to make men more godly and more glad, to wipe away here and there a tear, and to coax on this or that face a happy smile, to lighten oftimes another's burden and to share now and then another's bliss, weeping with them that weep and rejoicing with them that do rejoice. Happiness, after all is largely contagious. Others rejoice in our joy or are depressed by our weak faith or despondent moods. Every soul is a kind of human thermometer, registering the social temperature—whether warm and genial or cold and congealing—that prevails about it. We cannot help this sensitiveness, but we can by our kind words or kinder actions do much toward making it easier for the now depressed spiritual temperatures of other spirits to rise to a warmer wail. Everyone can take a pull at the sunshine rope. There is nobody so weak but that his laying hand upon it will increase the strain in the direction of the bright weather goal. The croakers, the storm producers, the bad weather makers, are abroad in the land in great numbers, but a determined and continued effort on the part of all sunshiners will draw them over the line into a sander state of mind and a brighter way of looking at things. God means life to be full of happiness, or at any rate of that deep joy, that spiritual peace, which is better than any happiness. Believe in God, believe in humanity, believe in yourself, take counsel of the divine promises and not of your fears, be much in communion with the Master, and your life will be like a glowing beacon in whose light men will be more than willing to rejoice, and your mission as a sunshine scatterer will be blessed to multitudes of hearts. How God Is Working. A new stone church is being erected at Tembo, Sierra Leone, West Africa, in the mission of the Church Missionary society. Memorial stones were laid in the foundation, says the Christian Work, and the missionary writes: "At the service preceding the ceremony, I noticed a man, rather smartly clad in native dress, and on inquiring I was told he was a Mohammedan owning a mosque of his own, but a worshiper in the church every Lord's day. To my surprise I found him among those desiring to lay memorial stones. The words he was asked to repeat after me were something of the nature of a prayer for his conversion to the faith, to which there was a loud 'amen.'" Cheered by the presence of God, I will do at the moment without anxiety, according to the strength which He shall give me, the work that His providence assigns me. I will leave the rest; it is not my affair. -Fenelon. Don't Get Footsore! Get Foot-Ease.

"There I was just wasting away, growing thinner every day and weaker, really being snuffed out simply because I could not get any nourishment from food. "Then my sister got after me to try Grape-Nuts food which had done much good for her, and she finally persuaded me, and although no other food had done me the least bit of good, my stomach handle the Grape-Nuts from the first, and this food supplied the nourishment I had needed. In three months I was so strong I moved from Albany to San Francisco and now on my three meals of Grape-Nuts and cream every day I am strong and vigorous and do fifteen hours' work. "I believe the sickest person in the world could do as I do, eat three meals of nothing but Grape-Nuts and cream, and soon be on their feet again in the flush of best health like me.

THE SUNDAY BIBLE SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for July 24, 1904—"Jehosha-phat's Reform." (Prepared by the "Highway and By Chron. 19:1-11; Memory Verses, 4-8. Aethiopahosphathe, the king of Judah with the king of Egypt. turned to his house in peace to Jerusalem. 2. And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungift, and love them that hate the Lord! therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord. 3. Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves on the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God. 4. And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem; and he went out again through the people from Beersheba to Mount Ephraim, and brought them back unto the Lord God of the city. 5. And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city. 6. And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do, for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, Who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, not respect of persons, not taking of gifts. 8. Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the Levites, and of the priests and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the Lord, and for controversies when they returned to Jerusalem. 9. And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart, that come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the Lord, and so wry come upon you, and upon your brethren; this do, and ye shall not trespass. 11. And, behold, Amarih the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king's matters; also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal courageously, and the Lord will with the good. THE LESSON includes 2 Chron. 17-20; 1 KINGS 22. GOLDEN TEXT—"Deal courageously, and the Lord shall be with the good."—2 Chron. 19:11. TIME—Jehosphapat began to reign in 914 B. C. Lesson events occurred in twentieth year of his reign. eenth year of his reign. PLACE—Jerusalem and Indea PERSONS—Jehoshaphat, and the seer Jehu.

Events in Israel. Ahab was killed in battle with the Syrians against whom he had gone when he persuaded Jehoshapat to join forces with him. The lesson to-day occurred after Ahab's death. All of the interesting history of Elijah, the Prophet, which will be considered in the lessons for August and September, occurred during Jehoshapat's reign. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. "Jehu . . . the seer went out to meet him."—The same prophet who had rebuked Baasha, king of Israel.—1 Kings 16:1. God repeatedly sent His prophets to rebuke in high places. See 1 Sam. 13:10; 2 Sam. 12:1; 1 Kings 13:1; 1 Kings 17:1, etc. Ps. 103:8, but—Ps. 103:9. "Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord?" Eph. 5:11; 2 Cor. 6:14-17; 2 John 10:11. This ungodly alliance probably led later to the marriage of Jehoshapat's son, Jehoram, to Ahab's daughter.—2 Chron. 21:6. "Nevertheless, there are-good things found in thee."—See Jehoshapat's splendid record in 2 Chron. 17. God is always ready to see the good and give due credit. "He went out again."—See 2 Chron. 17:7-9. In the prosperity of the kingdom and the interest of the king in other things, the early reforms had undoubtedly lapsed, as they do to-day. We need to remember 1 Cor. 15:58. "Brought them back unto the Lord."—Dan. 12:5. Jas. 5:20. Rom. 15:1. "Set judges in the land."—This means his reappointment of commissioners of public instruction mentioned in Chap. 17:7-9. Perhaps with new powers and a large staff of assistants. "Take heed what ye do; for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment."—This would be a good text to hang over the desk of every judge in the land to-day. Much of the evil in Israel had arisen from dishonorable judges.—Comp. 1 Sam. 8:1-3 with vs. 4 and 5. "Moreover."—Jehoshaphat did not rest content with educational and judicial reforms. He reestablished the religious functions of the priests and Levites, charging them to serve "in the fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart." Reform must go deeper than mere externalities if it is to be permanent and effective. The heart is the place to start every reform, for—Matt. 15:19 "Deal courageously."—It takes a brave man to be a reformer. Matt. 5:29-30, Matt. 10:28. Make no compromise. God in dealing with sin accepts nothing but unconditional surrender. He never temporizes. Dare we? "Deal courageously," therefore, for "the Lord shall be with the good." "This lesson furnishes striking example of this, and this promise was renewed by Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 and John 14:23. Seed Thoughts. Three points about God are emphasized in this lesson: "No iniquity with Him"—Deut. 32:4; Rom. 9:14; "No respect of persons."—Acts 10:34; Rom. 2:11; Eph. 6:9; 1 Peter 1:17, and "No taking of gifts." Man cannot bribe God. The Prophet's rebuke was followed by Jehoshaphat's repentance, the evidences of which were: (1) Contrition—sorry for sin; (2) Confession—admission of sin. (3) Conversion—turning from sin. (4) Restitution—making amends as far as possible for sin. Measure the quality of your repentance by this four-fold test.

There is one building in the world not dedicated to Christianity, and yet which has a Scriptural text on every brick. This is the case with the Church of St. Sophia, now the mosque Aya Sofia, rebuilt by Justinian on the ruins of three other churches, the first of which was built by Constantine when he removed the imperial capital to Byzantium. The text with which the bricks are stamped is a portion of the fifth verse of the forty-sixth chapter of the Psalms: "God is in the midst of her." When St. Sophia was converted into a mosque after the Turkish conquest in 1343 all the Christian emblems were removed or defaced and the exquisite Mosaic pictures covered up with plaster in obedience to the Moslem law, which absolutely forbids the portrayal of any living thing, either by painting or carving—Chicago Journal. The Servian Drum. The men who play the big drums in the different regiments of the Servian army must have an easier lot than the drummers of other lands, for they do not have to carry their own drums. In nearly all cases, instead of being slung in front of the man who plays it, the instrument is put on a small two-wheel cart drawn by a large dog. Of course the drummer must play as he marches, but the dog is so well trained that there is no difficulty in doing this. The animal keeps his pace even through the longest marches, and the drummer walks behind the cart, performing on his instrument as it goes along. Each regiment is provided with two or three big drums, but very few regiments have a band.—Youth's Companion. Italy's Impoverished Army. The necessity of calling out the men who were released from service with the colofs last year draws attention once more to the state of the Italian army. There are 12 army corps, and so limited are the financial resources of the country that after the staff and the officers have been provided for there is little left for the rank and file. The sad consequence is that, notwithstanding the scores of millions Italy has spent on her army in the past, and the £10,000,000 she is still spending annually, it is insufficient to insure the security of the country. More men have to be called under arms, because the companies of every regiment are much below their normal strength.—Rome Cor. Pall Mall Gazette. Fallacy About Flowers. Some experiments made recently in Belgium tend to throw doubt on the truth of the assumption that insects are guided to flowers by the brightness of their colors. Brilliantly-colored dahlia, were covered so as to show only the disks, and butterflies and bees sought these flowers with the same eagerness and frequency as those which were fully exposed. The conclus reached that the insects were guided by their sense of smell rather than by their sight seems conclusive.—Chicago Chronicle. A. Streak of Luck. Block—I had great luck at the races to-day. Morgan—Picked a winner, ch? "No; but when I reached the track I found I'd left all my money at home in my other trousers." "That's your idea of luck, is it?" "Yes; and the best part of it was I didn't know a soul there and couldn't borrow a cent."—Chicago Evening News. The Only Wounded King It is said that the king of Italy is the only European monarch of the present time who has been wounded in battle.

Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought HE WAS WILLING TO PAY. But Was a Little Too Foremost in Ordering the Help A lively looking porter stood on the rear of a car in the Pennsylvania depot. A fussy and choleric-looking old man clambered up the steps. He stopped on the platform, puffed a moment, relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and then turned to the young man in uniform and said: "Peter!" "Yes, sir!" "I am going to St. Louis. I want to be well taken care of and can pay for it. Do you understand?" "Yes, sir; I hope—" "Never mind what you hope. You listen to what I say. Keep the train boys away from me. Dust me off whenever I want you to. Give me an extra blanket, and if any fool has the berth above me, slide him over into it. I want you to—" "But, say, boss, I—" "Don't talk too much, young man. Here's two dollars. Now I want to get the good if it. Not a word, sir." The train was starting. The porter wung off to the platform. "Doug, I put down." "I’m powerful sorry you wouldn’t let me talk, but I ain’t going out on that train." PLAYING GOLF IN THE SOUTH Most Enjoyable Features of the Game Are Those of the Little "When you manage to bring off a more than ordinarily good shot it is a treat to note the expression on the face of your little nggro caddie, says Country Life in America. The look of exuberant joy and pride and the triumphant glance at your opponent's "boy" is followed by a series of soft, melodious tockers, which only a darkly can accomplish, much as to say that he, and he alone, and done the trick, to the utter confusion of the rival caddies. Some of these darkies make good caddies, but the majority are too indolent or uninterested to be more than mere beasts of burden, knowing little of the game and caring less. They tell a story of one—a novice—who at the end of the day's play, after cheerfully following his employer through a series of shorts of impossible places on the rides, rather startled him by guilless asking: "Is you gwine to work to morrow, boss?"

Breed, Wis., July 18—Special-Chas. Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for Oconto Co., has delivered a judgment that is of interest to the whole United States. Put priorly, that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medicine on the market to do." Peterson gives his reason for this judgment. He says: "Last winter I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much. In the morning I could hardly straighten my back. I did not know what it was but an advertisement I met to try to buy it. I talked to a box I can only say they have done more for me than expected as I feel as well now as ever I did before." Pain in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pill, it may develop. Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or Disease, the other deadly forms of Kidney Appropriate. "Why, that coat doesn't fit a bit" said Egert back. "it's all waves up and down back." "That is what I told the tailor, but he said a purse up!" —Stray Stories. THE MARKETS. Miss Alice M. Smith, of Minneapolis, Minn., tells how woman's monthly suffering may be quickly and permanently relieved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have never before given my endorsement for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has added so much to my life and happiness that I feel like making an exception in this case. For two years every month I would have two days of severe pain and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I run across Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,—she had used it with the best results and advised me to try it. I found that it worked wonders with me; I now experience no pain and only had to use a few bottles to bring about this wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out."—Miss ALICE M. SMITH, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn., Chairman Executive Committee Minneapolis Study Club. Beauty and strength in women vanish early in life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It carries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman's health. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women published in this paper constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, Ill., says:— "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I have suffered ever since I was thirteen years of age with my menses. They were irregular and very painful. I doctored a great deal but received no benefit. "A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which I did, and after taking a few bottles of it, I found great relief. "Menstruation is now regular and without pain. I am enjoying better health than I have for sometime." How is it possible for us to make it plainer that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will positively help all sick women? All women are constituted alike, rich and poor, and low,—all suffer from the same organic les. Surely, no one can wish to remain weak life and without hope for the future, when proof of a E.

Monday evening, at True Reformers' hall, a crowd of young people, nearly two hundred strong, gathered together in one of the swellest events of the season.

Misses Richardson, Tennessee, Leigh of Illinois, Wheatly, of Kentucky, and Messers. Johnson, Washington, Smith and Stevenson, student at the Mehairy Medical college, were numbered among the out-of-town guests. A very pleasant time was had and the officers and members of the club are to be congratulated. Miss Lancaster is a social favorite and will be greatly missed by her many friends in this city.
