STLOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXI. No. 23. BISHOP THE QUADREN THE QUADRENNIAL SERMON Which Was Preached in 1880, Was One of Eloquent Ever Delivered By Man Rt. Rev. T. M. D. Ward, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., delivered the quadrennial sermon. His subject was "The Shepherd and the Flock;" his text was the twenty-eighth verse of the twentieth chapter of the Acts. He said: lurid with the gore of not permitted to build a for beauty, durability has challenged the ad ages. This magnificent the emblem of that nob From the beginning of time until now, whenever God contemplated any great change in the affairs of the world or the church. He has invariably raised up instrumentalities with which to prosecute the work He had planned out in his own mind. Abraham was to be the sire of a race who were to be the almoners of God's recorded will. This nation was to be in number as the stars that illumine the midnight skies and as the shining sand-grains upon the ocean's strand. Moses, who was an adept in the learning of the Egyptians, was commissioned to bear the message of liberty to the courts of the Pharaohs. Prayer had smote the ear of Infinite Pity, and the arm that ruled the world reached down and grasped the manacled hand of captive Israel. The proud tyrant was warned of the approaching vengeance. In vain he defied the uplifted bolt of avenging Heaven. He resisted and was crushed. The new-born nation, guided by the mystic fiery cloud-pillar, rolled back the glad paean. "The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is his name;" and passed dry shod through the channels of the deep, and planted their feet, amid the strains of timbrel and harp, on freedom's distant shores. When He announced the decalogue, whose provisions were for the government of all nations in all after time, Moses was the agent; from the trembling summit of Sinai, amid the deafening roar of booming thunders, the blare of sounding trumpets, the quick, sharp shock of earthquakes and the lurid glare of lightnings' God simply uttered His protest against sin and announced the fearful punishment which should follow its commission. Above the column of smoke and fire and cloud was seen the cross making radiant the hill of Calvary. When He would establish a permanent house of worship he elected David to collect the materials; which were valued at thirty millions. But he, being a man whose skirts were LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT. GEO.

This magnificent structure was the emblem of that nobler and grander building, whose stones are the living members of Him who is our risen, living head—that stone, upon which this unbelieving and godless age is now breaking itself to pieces. The spiritual walls are still towering upward, and extending poleward their shining minarets catch the morn-beams of the burning dawn and flash back the golden glories of the western sun. How labyrinthine and mysterious were the movements of the church in the earlier ages of the world? Prophets spoke, prayed, hoped and died. There came a time when there was no Urim or Thummim. The oracles of Heaven were dumb. The nations were sighing for spiritual deliverance. Minerva could not satisfy the polished, the philosophic Greek. Who will feed our famishing soul? was the wall that escaped both Jewish and Gentile lips. The predicted hour announcing redemption's morn had come. It was Christmas morning; the air was crisp and cold; the shivering shepherds were watching their flocks. A strange feeling seized them; the heavens looked softer than ever before. They were strangely exhilarated; they looked and saw, trailing across the sky, a celestial visitor. They were alarmed. The heavenly stranger bid them dismiss their fears. He wheeled his steed of light, and moved back with marked celerity toward the gates of pearl. Millions of angels led the chorus of Redemption's song, while earth reeched back the choral strain, "Glory to God on high, peace and good will to all men," white and black, rich and poor, illiterate and learned. The light that streamed from Bethlehem's star chased back the cimmerian darkness that shrouded the pathway to the tomb. The Babe of Bethlehem became the world's Redeemer. Others before him had enunciated great principles and truths. The tendency of their sapient utterances was to purify society, perpetuate order, illuminate the mind, bring in the CAFE, 319 JEFFERSON AVE. ored man and for the Colored people where you can have your steaks and chops broiled over charcoal fire. 7.

D., Pastor. of their civil as well as their ecclesiastical government. wicked and profligate kings, and despised the shame, and glorified in reign of law, crush the iron hoof of the proud oppressor. But the soul's hunger-pains were still unsatisfied. Who will feed us? asked the hungry sheep. Those deep, stronger spiritual wants must be supplied. Rome, flushed with conquest, her eagles and well-drilled battalions sweeping from sea to sea, panted for the rest, which remains for the people of God. The adelphic oracle could not answer the soul's question: How shall I find rest? Minerva, Juno and Apollo were silent. Demosthemas, Socrates, Nero and Cicero could not feed the famishing heart. The old thoughtful Greek heard weird voices in the forest copse and on mountain cone; he saw wondrous shapes in flower, bird, cloud, star and sun. But what is the great beyond who will illumine the voiceless valley of the dead. What light shall drive back the thick night of darkness that hovers over the gates of the tomb? Shall not the fires of friendship and love be rekindled in the great, the everlasting forever? Tell me ye oracles of heaven! One has said that the City of God was built on the CONFLUENCE OF THREE CIVILIZATIONS. These separate states of men were represented by the Hebrew, the Greek and the Roman. From this triple-headed fountain were to emerge the waters of the River of Life. The Hebrews were the chosen people of God. With them He deposited His Word. In all their wanderings they forgot not the God of Abraham. They cherished the memories of their prophets priests and kings. When captives in the land of the Chaldeans they would not tighten the wires of their harps, because the Daughter of Zion was humbled and crushed. We can not wipe out the memory of Salem's sacred towers. Our harps shall still hang on the drooping willows that throw their long shadows over Babel's troubled stream. For ages this Hebrew stream rolled through the earth—often turgid and turbulent—still its sacred waters fertilized the arid valleys of this sinnetted earth, healing, purging, cleansing the surrounding nations. What wondrous memories cluster about that heaven-guided race? The decalogue was the corner-stone St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Corner D. Cook, D. D., Pastor. of their civil as well as their ecclesiastical government. The altar, the victim, the blood—all pointed to the great Victim, whose blood was to be an atonement for every race of every age and clime. One of the great changes which opened a new era in the world's history was the overthrow of the Chaldean empire; and the Medean and Persian army, under the leadership of Cyrus, whom God had called, was the chief instrument in creating this marked epoch. Babylon, with her massive walls, swinging gardens, brazen gates and stately towers—Babylon, the Hammer of the earth, was broken; but the power of Cyrus passed away. Alexander, the son of Philip of Macedon, leaped forth, like a lion from his covert shaking the glittering dew-drops of the morning from his bristling mane. His invincible warriors swept through the earth like a tempest of fire. For ages the Greek was the prince in the kingdom of letters, Athens became the birthplace of philosophy, oratory, science, sculpture and poetry. AFRICA CONTRIBUTED LARGELY Toward increasing the literary grandeur of Greece. The Greek kindled his torch with the red fire that flamed and blazed on African altars. Mount Olympus almost became the rival of Mount Zion. That was the golden age of letters. When has the world produced such men as molded and directed the Grecian mind? When Paul entered Athens they were ready to listen to the new but glorious truths of salvation; they were familiar with all branches of learning; they were refined, generous and brave, but were not the children of God—not joint heirs with Christ. Their influence was civilizing, but not Christianizing; their form of civilization cre ated a taste for learning, but their theology was divorced from their morality. The Third Confluent—The Romans had become the world's masters. All other nations bowed to their sway—the two legs, part iron part clay. They were both weak and strong. They were warriors and merchants. Their republic, like ours, was first founded upon justice and human rights; but, like as we, increased in numbers, grew in wealth, they became rapacious and cruel. They had become demoralized by their slavery and civil and foreign wars. Their buildings, baths, harbors, roads, bridges and pulchers surpassed any other nation on the globe. The Greek language, expressing the highest forms of thought, became the ruling tongue of the age. Most of the books of the New Testament were written in this tongue. It is to-day the grandest of all tongues. Through this medium the nations received the news of grace. Thus the Cross of Jesus followed the Eagles of the Caesars. The Romans were a powerful people. These signs of material greatness demonstrated their greatness and power as a nation; but these signs were also emblems of oppression, and cruelty, and wrong. The most powerful nation on earth felt itself to be the most helpless nation—helpless because they could not draw strength from the Arm of Eternal Might. The Hebrews wanted a Messiah, the Greeks a Healer and the Romans a Consoler. therefore, is raised up to bear the tidings to these Gentile nations. Though a Jew in the broadest acceptance of that term, he was the chief exponent and champion of the gospel to the Romans and Greeks—to the Gentile world. The power of God unto salvation, first to the Jew, then to the Greek, was the burden of his theme. Called and chosen, he goes forth sowing the seed-grain of gospel truth in different parts of the earth. What a record of labor and of sufferings, of heroic endurance. Wherever he went, the rod, the scourge, the halter, the dungeon awaited him. Did he falter? Did he quail? Did he mark over his brow in big letters. "I AM FOR SALE?" No! He reproved rulers, denounced Lawton and Leffingwell avenues, W. wicked and profligate kings, and despised the shame and glorified in Christ. Hissed, traduced, villified and persecuted, he held on his way, and dying, shouted back from out the mystic waters of Jordan, "Death, where is thy sting; grave, thy boasting victory?" Paul was the representative of this new doctrine, the doctrine of the resurrection from the dead. Philosophic, thoughtful, earnest, with a broad mental grasp, he was a fit character to become the propagator of a truth the acceptance of which would lead millions home to God. Familiar with the traditions of the church as well as the Scriptures and the Talmud, he had the ability to grapple with the enemies of the new gospel and to preach Jesus risen from the dead. He had seen the glory that beamed from the face of the Incarnate Deity, and cheered with his presence, he persevered to the end. The vessel halts for a few hours; word had been already sent that Paul was to halt at Milletus. The Bishop and Presbyters of Ephesus meet him, perhaps for the last time. How solemn the scene! How grand the hour! Here were men who were facing death because they embraced Christ. They had read his epistle. The thoughts it contained had strengthened them for the moral conflict. Once more they gaze upon their great leader, small in stature, but tall enough to touch the heavens. Listen to the words which are still ringing through the ages, thrilling the heart of the church. Having delivered his message, he dropped upon his knees and prayed until men wept, angels shouted and devils trembled. (Continued on Page Four.) $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. P H. M. TURNER.

Miss Mattie Lee, of 164 Marion street, left St. Louis on the 16th inst. over the Illinois Central, enroute to Vickburg, Miss., where she will meet her sister she has not seen for over 20 years. She will spend a few days with her in Vicksburg, then she will go to Jackson, Miss. and visit her husband's father and relations. We trust that this will be a happy meeting. One by one we meet our relatives whom we have not seen for years.

We feel that it is a pleasure to grant our pastor a month's absence from the pulpit, though we feel at a loss without him, but such pleasures he desires. He expects to visit Tucaloosa. Ala., his home, where friends and relations await his coming. There he expects to visit Montgomery and Selma. Mrs. Washington and the two sweet little girls will accompany him, their expenses being paid by the church. The usual services will be held at the church. NEWSPAPER LAW.

We hope this will get you to see clear: 1. Subserivers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are con- sidered as wishing to continue sub- scriptions. 2. If subseribers order the discon- tinuance of their periodicals, the pub- lisher may continue to send them un- til all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discon- tinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from post office, or removing and leaving them ancalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be re sponsible until an express notice with payment of arrearage {s sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscrip- tion to run along for some time, un- paid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it “refused,” and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft, etc. W.

McDonough, of the Kansas City, Nevada & Springfield railroad company, asking a bonus of $10,000, in return for which the company agrees to erect and maintain passenger and freight depots, a machine shop, a car shop, a roundhouse with 12 stalls and an oil house. The company also agrees to construct and maintain within the limits of the town all necessary yards and switches for the operation of the railroad and to have the road in operation June 1. Shot His Brother-in-Law. James Beaver shot his brother-in-law, Henry Burrugg, through the hip on the Frisco train between Golden City and Lamar. Beaver was arrested and held for trial. This shooting was an outgrowth of a suit brought by Beaver to recover $10,000 damages from his father-in-law, Frank Surrugg, for alienating his wife's affections. The trial resulted in a hung jury and the contestants and witnesses were on their way home when the shooting occurred. Kicked a Boy From a Train. The coroner's jury which investigated the death of young David Wingett at Lacrosse found that the boy was thrown from the cars by a member of the crew on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe freight train and fell under the wheels. The boy lived two hours after he was found and told several men that a brakeman kicked him off the train. A warrant will be asked for the arrest of the brakeman. For Missouri Art Exhibit. A circular letter issued by George J. Solnay, chairman of the art commission appointed by the Missouri state commission, calls upon every artist in Missouri to submit his best work for exhibition in the Missouri building at the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore. Gov. Folk has assured the commission that the expense of transporting the art exhibit to Portland and return will be paid by the state. Missouri Man Chosen. Edwin Washington Stephens, of Columbia, was elected president of the Southern Baptist convention at its 50th annual session held at Kansas City. Only one other name was mentioned for the honor, that of Rev. T. T. Eaton, of Louisville, Ky., who, however, declined to be a candidate. There was no opposition to the election of Mr. Stephens. Missouri State Fair. The Missouri state fair association has designated Tuesday of fair week as "Old Settlers' Day," when Interstate Commerce Commissioner Cockrell will speak; Wednesday as "Governor's Day," when Gov. Folk will speak, and Friday as "Kansas City Day," when Senator Warner will speak. The fair is to be held in August. Hid Her Money in a Grate. Mrs. F. A. Stephens, at Centralia, hid $65 in bills and her gold watch behind a log in the fireplace in her house a few days ago. The next morning, forgetting where the money was hidden, she built a fire in the fireplace and the money was burned. The wach was ruined. Tornado in Missouri. A tornado struck the town of Hampton, eight miles southeast of Platte City, and destroyed the general store of J. W. Harrington, a drug store, blacksmith shop, and badly damaged half a dozen residences. Several persons were injured, though no lives were lost. Platte City Was visited by a severe ballstorm which damaged many windows. Sedalia School Bond Troubles. A Chicago brokerage firm agreed to take an old issue of Sedalia school bonds, bearing 6 per cent., at 4 per cent. interest, and now that the old bonds have been called in, the company insists that the refunding be ratified by a vote of the people. For that purpose a special election will be held. Enters School at 75 Years. Enterry School at 75 Years. C. H. Allison, of Boonville, 75 years old, a graduate of Missouri State University in the class of 1852, has again entered the university in the engineering department. Skull Crushed by a Kick. Tom Harvey, the 10-year-old son of Jacob Harvey, was kicked in the head by a horse at Savannah. His skull was crushed. There is no hope of his recovery. Water Plant for Carthage. A municipal waterworks plant is to be built at Carthage this summer at a cost of $175,000. A Kansas City firm of engineers will have charge of the construction. Allen Again on Board of Arbitration Gov. Folk appointed L. D. Kingsland of St. Louis member of the state board of arbitration and mediation to succeed George J. Tansey, who has declined to serve, and Ford A. Allen of Kansas City to succeed himself on the same board. Quit the Fulton Hospital. Dr. J. W. Smith, superintendent of the hospital for the insane at Fulton, tendered his resignation to the board of managers of the institution to take effect June 13. Missouri Mules Not Wanted. Officials of the isthmian canal commission denied the report that 10,000 Missouri mules were to be purchased for use in connection with the canal work. They declared that so far they had not considered the purchase of more than a dozen mules, all of these to be used by the sanitary department to haul disinfecting wagons and assist in the cleansing of the isthmus. Col. Edwards said to-day: "Understand, the canal is not going to be dug with teams and scrapers, but when we get down to business we will take five feet of earth off a section of land every few minutes. Mr. Shontz says the dirt is going to fly on the isthmus, and it can't fly if we use mule teams and scrapers instead of great 100-ton digging machines." Took All the Blame. Investigation by state auditors into an alleged shortage in the funds of the Middleton bank revealed a note signed by Cashier Lewis, in which, referring to Assistant Cashier Warner, Lewis wrote: "You must not accuse Mr. Warner of wrecking this bank. He had nothing to do with it. I did it all myself.—E. H. Lewis." The note was found in Lewis' private box. The police have been searching for Lewis since April 24, but have not found a clew. The auditors state that $62,000 is missing. Must Wait for President. Secretary Hitchcock, of the interior department, is holding up the order abolishing the land offices at Boonville and Ironton until the return of the president. He has approved the recommendation of the commissioner of the general land office, however, consolidating these offices with the office at Springfield and transferring all of the business of the two districts to Springfield. The president must make the final order abolishing the offices. Monett Wants The Normal. At a mass meeting at Monett, called by the Commercial club-for the purpose of taking action in landing the new state normal school, an executive committee was appointed, consisting of Mayor Durnill, F. A. Wightman, Judge John Ford, J. J. Davis and F. P. Siser, and given full power to act. It will invite the state committee to come to Monett and look the field over. Salvation Blocks Streets. Mayor Lyon, of Joplin, has instructed Marshal Myers to order the Salvation Army off Main street Saturday night, on account of the crowds and Maj. J. G. Galley of the army for this division, defies the order by announcing that the Saturday night meetings will continue, and that he will go to jail if need be in fighting the question, as he has done before in other cities. Joplin May Get Mining Congress. Joplin is practically assured of the American Mining congress for 1906, unless something unforeseen arises to change the situation. Many voters are already pledged to favor Joplin when the question of next year's location comes up at the session of 1905, to be held in El Paso, Tex., in August. Will Straighten Chariton Rixer: WILLIAM STRAIGHTENED CHARITON RIVER. The farmers of Macon county, owning land in the Chariton river bottoms, voted to issue bonds to the amount of almost $100,000 for the immediate construction of a great drainage ditch nine miles in length and large enough to divert the course of and straighten the Chariton river. Board of Regents Gov. Folk has announced the appointment of Calvin M. Woodward of St. Louis and A. Ross Hill of Columbia to be members of the board of regents of Lincoln institute, the state school for colored yotu, located in Jefferson City. Mine Watchman Killed. In a desperate battle with two ore thieves William Busick, night watchman at the Hot Air mine, two miles east of Joplin was shot and killed. Shorthorn Men to Meet. The board of directors of the Missouri Shorthorn Breeders' association has decided to hold the next sale at Moberly during the first half of October. Looking for Oil at Springfield. Evidences of oil and gas have been discovered on the Ozark farm, one mile east of Springfield, and the Springfield Oil and Investment company has been formed to develop the property. The company has a paid up capital of $50,000, and has filed articles of association. Mining Exchange at Joplin. A matter of importance to the Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas zinc and lead districts, and which is being quietly considered, is the establishment of a national zinc and lead mining exchange at Joplin. New Superintendent at girls' Home. Mrs. L. U. Debolt, superintendent of the girls' industrial home, presented her resignation to the board of control. It was accepted and Mrs. Emma J. Mackey was appointed to succeed her. Young Lady Attorneys. The Jasper county bar has two fair new members in the persons of Miss Della Sharp, of Carthage, and Miss Anna Campbell, of Joplin, who were admitted to practice in the courts of the state of Missouri Beautiful Premiums are given absolutely Free Agents can furnish and beautify their homes without money. Write to-day for list of Premiums. SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in order to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the "open winter" farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Aransas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice, Beeville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yoakum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Floresville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of other things you wish to do, just take advantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this inconvenience is to take advantage of whatever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive during the summer, but what is most unusual also during the winter. A man doesn't have to "lay by" for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San Antonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this special offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land in Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. Don't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. FOR SALE ```markdown ``` AFTER USING straight, soft, glossy, plain and gives a luxurious head of hair.

Springfield, Ill, May 17.—Gov. De- neen signed 40 bills last night. One o} the most important of these was the anti-mob bill, introduced by Btward D. Green, the Colored member from Cook county, It provides for vacation by proclamation of the sheriff's oftice when that official allows a prisuner to be taken from him and lynched, ard provides for a fine of $1,000 for par- ticipation in a lynching mob. Gov. Folk of Missouri has taken a manly stand against mobs and lynch- ers, and has ordered a through inves- tigation of the recent lynching of the Negro at Belmont, Mo. Let other legislators follow the ex- gmple set by Mr. Green.—Ed. QUADRENNIAL SERMON, the duty of every one to see that his system 5 in good condition. Wrench and twist the body with torturing pains and the mjnd ceases, in a meas- ure, to work. Many men break down at two-seore by reason of self-abuse. What a wonderful piece of mechan- ism is the human body; 240 bones, 400 muscles, the alimentary canal thirty-two feet long; the heart is about six inches in length, four inches in diameter, beats seventy times per minute, 4,200 per hour, 100,800 per day, 26,792,000 times per year, 2- 575,440,000 in seventy years; at each beat two and a half ‘ounces of blood are drawn out of it—175 ounces per minute, 656 per hour, seven and three-quarters tons per day. All the blood In the body passes through the heart in three minutes. This little organ, by its ceaseless industry, im the allotted span the Psalmist gave to man, lifts the enormous weight of 400,000,000. pounds. The lungs will contain about one gallon of air at their usual degree of inflation. We breathe an average of 1,200 per hour, inhaling 600 gallons of air, or 14,400 gallons per day, ‘The aggregate surface of the air-cells of the Iungs exceeds 20,000 square inches, an area nearly equal to a tweive-foot room. The weight of the brain is three pounds eight ounces; the nerves are all connected with it or the spinal marrow, and these nerves, together with their amplifications, exceed 100,000,000, outnumbering the greatest army ever marshaled. ‘The skin is composed of three lay- ers, and varies from one-fourth to one- eighth of an inch in thickness. Its average in an adult is estimated to be 2,000 square inches. The atmos: pherie pressure being about fourteen pounds to the square inch, a person of medium size is subjected to a pres- sure of 40,000 pounds. Hach square inch of skin contains 3,500 sweating tubes, each of which may be likened to a little drain tile a quarter of an inch long, making an aggregate length of the entire surface of the body of 201,160, or a tile diteh for draining nearly forty miles long. Keep the head cool, the feet warm and clean. ‘When the stomach is disordered EAT NOTHING BUT GRUEL until you get well. We Americans are great gourmands. Toughen the throat by keeping it exposed. Without health we shall be failures. Physical culture for a long time made the Greeks the ripest scholars and best warriors the world ever saw. Two hours’ daily play with the buck and saw has savel many valuable lives. ‘The age demands an enlightened and sanctified pulpit. Religion, learn- ing and wealth are the three great forces- which must give power and prestige to the race. ‘These three great elements of power are destined to lift us out of the un- sunned depths of ignorance and superstition and sin. The accumu- lated debris of the ages of oppression must, through these grand agencies, be forever removed. Mental development and moral pur- ity are our two first and greatest wants, We must plant the seed buds of thought. To do this we must sub- ject ourselves to severe mental dis- cipline. The march of thought is al- ways slow. sd has opened to us a door of marvelous usefulnéss. Four millions of people look hopefully toward our organization. The different colored Methodisms of America point with exulant pride to our Wilberforce and ‘Payne Institute and pay homage to our iron-throated orator, the Christian Recorder, whose voice penetrates to either pole. “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance; the price of wisdom is eternal thought.” How vast the power of the human mind! The general conference, with its vast brain power, should intro- duce a measure looking toward the founding of a conference seminary in every conference district. The work is not so formidable as some may sup- pose. Nearly all the conferences are having a supply of educated men. Place such men at all great centers of influence and let it be understood that they will be expected to build up our educational work if upon never so small a scale. Let the president of Wilberforce be paid from the Dol- lar Fund. Do not allow him to be embarrassed. Untie his bands and give him a full, free swing. ‘The mental condition of our people in the south is appalling, heartrend- ing. We must make provision for intellectual wants of our people in that section. Nearly every other denomination is leaving us in the rear. BRAIN-POWER WILL BE SUPREME. Encourage learning, and you will live; despise it, and you will die. Can we comprehend the oceult law which govern the aiaterial without SD ee ‘with thunder clouds; the hills and mountains flash back the glories of a thousands suns until laughing streams and swelling seas all shout, “Praise ye the Lord,” and yet the ignorant may not hear all these celestial nor see those divine visions. To feed the flock we must pray, study and me ditate. Time does not permit to pass through the rich fields of scientific and practical learning. We shall take time to select such text books as will materially ald our young men in gaining a right concep- tion of the power and priceless value of sanctified learning. Once create taste, an earnest thirst for knowledge, unveil the wonders which lie hidien in siderial science and the occult mys- teries of sea and shore, and when this unwritten volume is once unfolded to the budding intellect of our rising pulpit, a halo of moral beauty will glow around our young men which will command the respect of even those who prate about Negro inferiority. ‘An enlightened ministry, whose tal- ents and culture have been consecrated to God, will make an intelligent, large- hearted church. Like priest, like peo- ple. We should select books that con- tain within as small compass as pos- sible the pith and marrow of the best authors upon such subjects which most interest and concern us. No man can learn everything, but what any other man has done we can do. Master what- ever you take in hand. A knowledge of the classics, amd especially of math- ematics, will be great aids in the in- terpretation of the doctrines of the gospel. CLOSING EXHORTATION. Ye who come from the different sec- tions of our ocean-bound republic— 2 country made one by the blood of a million of men—a nation whose empire extends from sea sea. Purified in the hot furnace of civil war, she is now rising into greatness, not through her vast possessions only, but by her re- spect for the rights of man. This na- tion, with her feet dipping in the wa- ters of the Gulf, her head reclining on the granite peaks of Alaska—to such a country we return our unswerving allegiance, when she tramples upon our right we will say “Strike but hear.” Men who come from the sunny savannahs of the flowerspangled south and from the rolling, teeming prairies of the west, as well as from the sunset land where Mounts Shasta, Hood and Baker lift their white shafts to the clouds—to one and all we say, be loyal to God, true to yourselves, to your church, to your race; avoid the pedantry of learning; crush out the blue imps of ignorance, vaulting ambi- tion, treachery, political trickery and hell-born caste, always placing true and tried men over the flock. Do all these things and more and we shall be a pole star to the Colored Methodisms of America. Africa, long shrouded in pagan night, shall catch silvery beams that stream from Bethlehem’s star. Ethiopia, long despised, forgotten and forsaken, shall stretch forth her hands to the heavenly Shepherd, who to-day is ranging the cold, barren mountains of Paganism, seeking the millions who have been torn by the wolves of super- stition and idolatry. He who has guarded and defended this flock for three score years and four is with us still. The Lion of Judah guards the chosen fold. May your deliberations be marked with wisdom, moderation and patience, so that the work we may do may draw upon the assembly the approving smile of Heaven. May the Holy Ghost dic- tate every official act. Thus imper- fectly have we aimed to do our duty. We have tried to do our best. God demands no more. Many of us are brushing the dews of Jordan’s shore. We will soon have crossed to dwellings of Jordan, Let us with girded loins, well-trimmed and well-filled lamps, be ready when the Bridegroom comes, and shout, “Death, where is thy sting? Grave, where is thy boast?” May He save us for His name's sake. Amen. ao | y eB en a » pee ‘ b2 ee. ee J Rev. W. C. Williams is the noted chureh builder. Pastor of St. James church.

Altre! Hale. Night Cer A LETTER CARRIER AND A JANITOR. Two of Aunt Hagar’s Children Pub- lishing a Patent Sheet, Called the American Eagle. Two weeks ago we nailed another lie that was published by these two old deluded Negroes, who style them- selves the “Editor and Manager” of the Eagle. Some years ago the man, Miller, in the Baptist church on Papin street, made and published damaging stories about one of our principals. ‘The Palladium man was on hand, and in due time showed that this charge was groundless. Not long ago these same two old cronies published a very nasty story upon a number of our school teachers, saying that a number of them were caught in a house of ill- repute on Nineteenth and Lucas avenue. The Eagle stated that their names would be published unless they “eoughed up.” In due time the Palla- dium man came to the front and ex- posed these two grafters, and they were caused to let up. Later on, when J. D. Miller was then in the democratic party, he was then a janitor and a political grafter of the deepest dye. He caused to be printed several articles in tltat pattent sheet against the governor of this state, which caused him to lose his political democratic janitorship. He wandered about in an aimless way until he got back into the republican party, yet he could not rise above that of a common laborer, although he had had twenty years of schooling in Nashville, Tenn. —He was in Central (Tenn,) college for twelve years, remaining there so long that bs was called “Daddy Mil- ler."—His friends seeing that he was ‘on the way to the poorhouse, got him a janitorship, and he is now getting fat and becoming saucy, and together with the letter carrier, who can hard- ly rise above the position of “Uncle Mose,” now attempts to villify the course which the Palladium has since pursued. We believe, so far as the editorial department of the Palladium is concerned, that it is about the equal of any of the two hundred Negro pa- pers published in our country. The advertising department is far above any Negro paper, and that is because the same is conducted and controlled by the manager, who has no time to carry letters or bring a scrubbing brush, broom or dusting article into any other man’s office. The Palla- dium, with its high moral stand, is endorsed by every true father, mother and brother who understands the con- dition of St. Louis society. The Pal- ladium does not cater to any man or any set of men or women. We will ‘give $5 to any man who can point out any subscriber who has quit taking the paper because we have struck at wrong-doing, but two, whose names we will call if the public desires it. We will give $5 to any one if we do not mail more papers to subseribers in and out of St. Louis than the other two Negro papers in St. Louis, We will pay $5°to any man or woman who can prove that we have ever said a word about any lady or gentleman. We strike at all who are not what they ought to be. It the two old “fos- sils” think that the manager of the Pallaldium is antiquated, we refer that to the public. It is said that some Negroes can never rise above that Which has been taught them. Old man “Miller” has been taught to use a scrubbing brush and a mop, to read and walk like “Jim Key,” the educated horse. We have stated time and again that to vituperate any man or woman is an act of which the Palladium has never been guilty, nor will it ever be. It simply states facts about the peopie. The two old cronies ought to know the difference. % Watch for the next week Palladium ‘on these two old fossils. | MONEY MAKES THE MARE Go. For the past two or three weeks some preachers of churches take the liberty of sending many locals to the ‘Palladium for publication.

New York, May 19.—New York paid obsequious honors to the late Hiram Cronk, last soldier of the war of 1812. More than 50,000 New Yorkers, with bared heads, filed past the flower-covered bier in which the dead soldier lay in the city hall. The expenses of the unusual, but befitting honors to him, are borne by the city. The catafalque rested in the rotunda of the city hall, draped with flags and flowers, while the building was draped in black. It was the first time since the death of Gen. Grant that a body has laid in state in the city hall. After the body had been lowered into the grave, at Cypress Hill cemetery, a squad of soldiers fired a volley over the grave and a bugler sounded taps. THE GRAND ARMY REUNION. Preparations Well Under Way For the Annual G. A. R. Encampment at Denver, Col. Denver, Col., May 19.—The executive committee of the Grand Army of the Republic met here Thursday night, with Commander-in-Chief W. W. Blackmar, and reported that arrangements had already been perfected for accommodating 60,000 visitors during the national encampment here next September. It is estimated that 125,000 persons will visit Denver on the occasion of the national encampment, and a committee will continue working to secure pledges for quartering that number. It was announced that rates for hotel and other accommodations would remain at the usual standard during the encampment. The committee is arranging a programme of events for the entertainment of the old soldiers and their friends. DISASTROUS COLLISION. Eight Dead and Four Injured in a Freight Collision Near McHenry, Ky. Owensboro, Ky., May 19.—One of the most disastrous railroad wrecks in western Kentucky for some time occurred on the Illinois Central, near McHenry station, at 3:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon. As a result of a collision between two freight trains, eight persons are known to be dead, other bodies are probably covered in the wreckage and several persons are injured. The two trains were smashed to pieces, the engines being reduced to scrap iron. A large number of cattle and hogs were roasted to death by the heat from the demolished engines, there being two cars of live stock in one of the trains. LIEUT. CHAPMAN KILLED. A Suspicious Fatality During a Sham Fight by Troops From Fort Reno. El Reno, Okla., May 19.—Lieut. E. L. Chapman, stationed at Fort Reno, was shot in the back and instantly killed, Thursday, while assisting in the meneuvers of six companies in a running fight. Six companies of infantry were out for field maneuvers in the presence of Brig.-Gen. Jesse M. Lee, whose headquarters are at San Antonio. While engaged in a running fight across the prairie northwest of town, Lieut. Chapman, who was acting as the battalion adjutant, received a shot from a ball cartridge fired from the companies opposing him. He died where he fell. Foul play is suspected and a rigid examination is being made. BLOW TO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. Canadian Jury Finds Christian Scientists Guilty of Criminal Conspiracy. Toronto, Ont., May 19.—Christian Science has received a crushing blow in a Canadian court of justice, where, after four hours' deliberation, a jury returned a verdict of guilty of criminal conspiracy against four followers of this faith. Sentence was deferred to give the accused a chance to appeal. The indictment was that of Mrs. Sarah Goodfellow, mother of deacessed; William Brundette, brother-in-law; Mrs. Isabella Grant, and Mrs. Elizabeth See, all prominent scientists, all conspired to deprive William Goodfellow of the necessaries of life, to wit, proper medicine and nursing, whereby death was caused. Shot-Firers' Bill Signed. Springfield, Ill., May 19.—Gov. Deeneen has signed the shot-firers' bill, requiring coal mine operators of Illinois to furnish expert shot-firers to do the blasting in the mines at a time when the miners are not present, so as not to endanger their lives. The operators threaten to close their mines unless the miners reimburse them for the additional expense. Took Two Drachms Prussic Acid. St. Louis, May 19.—Dr. George Cunningham, a young dentist, despondent because of ill health, took two drachms of prussic acid. For six hours he lay as one dead, but doctors worked with him until now there is a chance that he may live. To Probe Kansas City Bodling. Kansas City, Mo. May 19.-Judge Wofford, of the criminal court, has announced that he will call a grand jury to meet June 12 to investigate rumors concerning alleged bodling at the city hall. Sunday School Lesson for May 21, 1905 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—John 18:28:40; Memory Verse 37, 38. Read all the chapter. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Every one that is of the truth heathert My voice."—John 18:37. TIME.—Friday, the day following the time of our last lesson. The probable time of events since midnight was as follows: Agony in Gethsemane, midnight to one a. m. Arrest about one a. m. Trial before Jewish authorities, 1:30 a. m. to sunrise, at six a. m. Trial before Roman authori- ties, 6:30 to 8:30 a. m. PLACE.—The trial before Pilate was probably in the Tower of Antonia, just out- area in northwest corner of the tempe- palace on Mount Zion, overlooking the temple area, and connected with it by a bridge. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES. — The Agony in Gethsemane.-Matt. 26:36:46. Mark 14:32:42; Luke 22:39:46; John 18:1. Mark 14:43-52; Luke 22:47-53; John 18:11-11.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 28. "Then." As soon as formal sentence had been pronounced against him by the Sanhedrim, "Hall of judgment." The Roman. judgment hall. "Early." Shortly after daybreak. "Went not in, less." etc. The Passover Feast, which lasted seven days, was just beginning. If a Jew entered the house of a Gentile, he would be defiled and could take no part in the feasting and festivities. V. 29. "Pilate." The man appointed by the Roman Emperor as governor of Judea and Samaria. "Went out." Went to a portico, or an open space near the Hall. V. 30. "They." Jewish rulers. "Malefactor." Evildoer. V. 31. "Take ye him . . . your law." Jews had authority to try certain cases. They had already tried Jesus, but they could not accomplish their wish, for they had not authority to put any to death. V. 32. "What death he should die." Jews executed criminals by stoning, but Jesus had foretold that he would suffer death by crucifixion, which was the Roman mode of execution. V. 33. "Called Jesus." Ordered him brought before him. "Art thou King?" By finding out what claims Jesus laid to kingship, Pilate would find whether he was an enemy of Rome. V. 34. "Sayest thou this of thy self?" Jesus must know what thought was in Pilate's mind in order to answer truly. If he asked whether Jesus claimed civil authority as a rival of Caesar, he would answer "No." But if he asked, in a Jewish sense, whether he was the King, Messiah, he must answer "Yes." In the higher sense, which as yet but few understood, he was and is King over human hearis. V. 35. "What hast thou done?" Pilate wants to know what Jesus has done to anger His own people, for they were always glad to support anyone who, in the name of a king, would try to set them free from Rome. V. 36. "Not of this world." Not derived from earth, nor swayed by the recognized forces of this world. Christ's kingdom is in this world, making earth a very Heaven to those whose hearts accept His rule; but its origin is not earthly, but Heavenly. V. 37. "Art thou a king, then?" Pilate repeats his question, for he cannot understand how one so pitiable in appearance, so deserted and abused, can still claim to be a king. "Thousayest." You stated truth in calling me a king. "To this end . . . born." Jesus' object in coming to earth was to win for himself a kingdom in the hearts of men. "Bear witness . . . truth." He bears witness to the true nature and character of God, and to the dignity and possibilities of men. "Every one . . . heareth my voice." They who really wish to be true, receive Jesus. V. 38. "What is truth?" By bitter experience in the world Pilate thought there was no possibility of finding the truth, nor of living a true life. "No fault." Not guilty of any crime punishable by law. V. 39. "Custom . . . release one." Rome honored Jewish festivals by releasing a prisoner. V. 40. "Barabbas." One who had headed a Jewish insurrection in which murder had been committed. By several other devices Pilate tried to make the Jews relinquished their victim. But they persistently demanded: "Crucify Him!" so, at last, Pilate yielded and ordered Jesus' crucifixion. Practical Points. V. 28. Each of us is led into a judgment hail as we come before Jesus, and, by our verdict concerning Him, acquit or condemn ourselves—John 3:18. V. 29. We can best refute false accusations by following the example of Jesus—Matt. 27:12. V. 30. One who opposes Christ Jesus proves that he, himself, not Christ, is an evildoer—John 3:20. V. 32. Through His friends and foes the fulfillment of all Jesus' words is working out.—Mark 13:31. Salvation Salvation alone can rouse in us a sense of our sinfulness. One must have got a good way before he can be sorry for his sins. There is no condition of sorrow laid down as necessary to forgiveness. Repentance does not mean sorrow; it means turning away from the sins. Every man can do that, more or less. And that every man must do. The sorrow will come afterwards, all in good time. Jesus offers to take us out of our own hands into His, if we will only obey Him—George Macdonald.

The income tax in Great Britain is levied on $3,500,000,000 of annual income, and produces $155,000,000 of revenue for the government. From money invested abroad alone Great Britain's capitalists probably receive $1,200,000,000 a year of income, though no one can tell exactly. That is only $244 a year for each person if it were equally divided. It isn't. Less than 750,000 persons have more than half the total income. It is probable that the total of private incomes, great, and small, in the United States is over $25,000,000,000, though the sum cannot be so closely estimated as in the island kingdom. If Mr. Gibsen Bowles is right in saying that only one-third of the national income pays the tax, the total of incomes of the united kingdom must be $10,500,000,000, a sum almost inconceivably vast. Private Car Lines The railroads seem very willing to have the private car lines brought under the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission. A railroad president is authority for the statement that lines are paid mileage, without discrimination, and the question of excessive charges is a matter for the shipper to settle with the car lines, so long as there is no law to govern their rates. Car mileage paying has been decided to be as legal as the payment of rental for property. PHYSIOLOGICAL FINDINGS. A woman's face is, taking the average, one-tenth shorter than that of a man. Twenty minutes each day spent in physical exercise as an adjunct to mental education, says a physician, might enable us to live to 70 without a day's illness, and perhaps prolong our lives to a hundred years. Warts and moles are regarded as dangerous by a Philadelphia physician. He cites 25 cases in which they have taken an active malignant form and he urges an operation before malignant disease has begun to develop. The crown of a human tooth is covered by a brilliant white cap of enamel, which is not only the hardest tissue of the human body, consisting as it does of 96.5 per cent. of mineral and of 3.5 per cent. of animal matter, but also the hardest known organic substance. EVERY SUFFERER WANTS THE VERY QUIKEST OURE. Mr. Donovan Thinks the Remedy Used by Him with Such Remarkable Success the Best—Cured by Five Boxes. "Men who have to do difficult and dangerous work on electric lines at any hour of day or night, can't afford to have anything the matter with their health," said Mr. Donovan. You can imagine, therefore, how much I was alarmed one winter's day in 1902, when I was seized by a pain just behind my right hip that made it difficult for me to walk home. It was so bad by the time I reached the house that I was obliged to go straight to bed." "Did that relieve you?" "No, the pain grew more severe and kept extending downward along my leg. I sent for a physician, and he soon decided that I had sciatica. In a few days the whole nerve was affected, and the least movement brought on terrible agony." "Did your condition improve under the doctor's treatment?" "Quite the contrary. At the end of two months I wasn't a bit better, and at times I feared that I would never be able to leave my bed." "How did you get out again?" "When I was lying in bed, unable to move and wasting away in flesh, a friend visited me and told me about the wonderful cures brought about by a great blood and nerve remedy, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He strongly urged me to try them, and I luckily had sense enough to take his advice." "Did you send quickly?" "Yes, that was the astonishing thing. I noticed a slight improvement before I had quite finished the first box of the pills, I could get out of bed while I was on the third box, and I was entirely cured by the time I had taken five boxes." Mr. Joseph A. Donovan is living at Plaistow, New Hampshire, and is line inspector for the Haverhill, Newton and Plaistow Electric Street Railway. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the remedy to use when the blood is thin, as in anemia; or impure, as in rheumatism; or when the nerves are weak, as in neuralgia; or lifeless, as in partial paralysis; or when the body as a whole is ill-nourished, as in general debility. They are sold by all drugstores. HAVE YOU COWS? If you have cream to separate a good Cream Separator is the most profitable investment you can possibly make.

In all our cares and strife? Thou teachest us the power of pain, Our souls to purify, And when the world seems dark and drear, Thou all canst rectify, Thou't give a healing balm. To make our thoughts, so much disturbed Again regain their calm. Thou never wilt forsake us, Lord, If we but trust in Thee, Thy mercy, pity, pardon, too, For us shall ever be. Then let us in all trials and cares, Dear Lord, come straight to Thee, And Thy sweet consolation seek, To make our spirits free From petty cares which oft annoy, And fill our souls with glom, Forth our joy, fill our hearts with joy, If we will give love room, -Martha Shepard Lippincott, in N. Y. Observer. THE HOPE IMMORTAL. Awakening of the Soul to New Hope as It Meets Its Risen Lord. "I have seen the Lord." These were Mary Magdala's thrilling words of greeting to the heart-broken apostles gathered together in heaviness, mourning the death of Him Who was to have redeemed Israel. Can you not realize the triumphant blast of courage such news was to those despairing men? The apostles had seen the Master, Who spake as man never spake before—Whom they had loved and believed in and given up all to follow—torn from them and crucified, dead and buried. He had left no supports for them to lean upon, but had seemingly deserted them. All their high hopes and convictions were shattered by the death of the man who had gone from them. It was then that Mary had come to them with the announcement that Jesus had sent her: "Go to My brethren, and say to them, I am ascended to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God." This sublime word brought deliverance and joy; they had not trusted in vain; their Master was the Christ, the Saviour of men. The deep mysteries of His mission, the grandeur of His work began to dawn upon them with a power and significance past telling. The surety of an immortal future life, of supreme blessing, burst upon their dazzled vision—the thrill and joy of this truth which has ever since run down through the ages until even to us comes the revelation of eternal security. The divine truth, uttered so long ago, has lost none of its significance, but comes with its olden power to the universal heart of men, and with unshaken faith we exultingly cry: "The Lord has indeed risen!" The victory through suffering was a transcendent truth embalmed in men's souls, and our hearts are still with an awesome reverence for such wonderful promise. Earth responds to this same glad faith. A magic touch has thrilled her, too, and the spring air is full of blossoming heart-throbs. Listening you can feel the new quiver of life as it awakens from winter's sleep. We respond to the gladness that the birds are voicing in their rapturous homecoming. Every twig and leaf impress us with this new beauty of restoration, and with it comes the joyful rush of soul-life. So death to winter gives spring; so death to man makes alive. -Union Signal. SELECTED SEED THOUGHTS Hatred cannot cure hate. Grumbling sows no grain. Love is God's great lever.—Ram's Horn. A smile is one of God's advance agents. Men of little minds are the hardest to convince.—United Presbyterian. Suffering is part of the price of the grace of sympathy. Worship is more than praising God for our superiority.—Ram's Horn. There will always be one to listen to him who comes with a message from God. No ambassador whom the Father has anointed ever yet missed an audience. We do not crave for God because He is glorious. We do not crave for God because He is sovereign. We are just homesick, that is the meaning of it. We crave for God because He is our home.—G. H. Morrison. We should be ruled by that which most strongly appeals to our conscience; but the thing which will influence conscience the most will probably be in line with our previous training and knowledge.—United Presbyterian. As when a father in a garden stoops down to kiss a child, the shadow of his body falls upon it, so many of the dark misfortunes of our life are not God going away from us, but our heavenly Father stooping down to give us the kiss of his infinite and everlasting love.—Selected. A. Lesson from the Firefly. Dr. Parkhurst, in answer to the busy many's plea that he has no time for Christian work, well says that God's work may be done while we are performing our daily tasks. "The light that is run up on the masthead of a steamer never has to stop in order to shine. A Christian ought to be like a firefly, which lightens most just when it is on the wing." Portuguese King Makes Bull At one of the court balls at Lisbon Landseer attended, and when the king of Portugal, who was also a guest, was made aware of the presence of the great animal painter, he expressed his desire for an introduction. Landseer was presented accordingly, when the king, in his imperfect English, said: "O, Mr. Landseer, I am delighted to make your acquaintance—I am so fond of hearts!" The Renter's Advantages. "If we economize," said the husband, "we will soon have a house of our own instead of having to live in rented property." "But I'm not so sure I should like that," answered the wife. "I couldn't drive nails anywhere I please in the walls or woodwork of our own house, you know."—Chicago News. Foul-Catching Dog A farmer in Essex has a novel way of catching fowls for customers. A dog performs this task. The farmer simply points to a fowl and tells the dog to catch it, which he does in a very skilful and remarkable manner, always catching and holding it by the neck till the farmer approaches to kill it. Golf in China. Golf is greatly indulged in by the naval officers and European residents in China. In consequence, the Chinese boys have grasped some idea of the game, and they are frequently to be seen amusing themselves with an old stick converted into a club and a real golf ball which some golfer has lost. As It Struck Tommy. Tommy never had seen a great pianist before, and he did not understand that the distinguished man's wealth of hair was only an outward and visible sign of the artistic temperament. "Look at him!" he exclaimed. "His head's all gone to seed!"—Chicago Tribune. Brazen Theorist. "Marriage," said the ready-made philosopher, "is a lottery." "Yes," answered the cold-blooded Mormon; "and my theory is that if a man is going to play the game at all he might as well have as many tickets as he can pay for."—Washington Star. Heard in the Classroom. "Professor," asked the student, "why does a cat, when eating, turn her head first one way and then another?" "For the reason," replied the professor, "that she cannot turn both ways at once."Chicago Record-Herald. Prisoner Governor.

"There are a good many prisoners in the territory," says the governor, "including old Geronimo and myself" Different Views. Katherine—Think of marrying a man for his money!

This is dinged into the ears of a young woman who can squish you to tucking, or of young woman who can bellow like a bull, and presently, after a year in Peele, or at any old conservatory abroad, our opera forces are recruited, if not strengthened. And after a season, or a part of one, the flegilings disappear, the young man going into a clerkship, the young woman into matrimony. Then there's an end of two "grand voices."—N. Y. Press. Exceptions Jobson—Friends are the greatest conglations one can have in this world. Jobson—You've evidently never met any of the candid variety.—Detroit Free Press, Were Good for Both. Paulding, Miss., May 15th.—(Special) —In this neighborhood men and women alike are telling of the great benefit they have received from the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills and it frequently happens they are the means of curing members of both sexes in the same family. Take the life of Mr. and Mrs. Eby. The latter voices the sentiment of both when she says: "My lips cannot express too much praise for Dodd's Kidney Pills. I suffered with Backache and Female weakness for four or five years and I feel that I have been wonderfully helped by Dodd's Kidney Pills. My husband too was a sufferer for five years from a weak bladder and also they also cured him." Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure blood and good health all over the body. No woman with healthy kidneys ever had female weakness. It may not seem quite so romantica to the man who fell in love with a voice in a phonograph and, hunting up the owner, married her, when he hears the same voice asking for more money.—Chicago Sun.

GLOVER FOR WOMEN Amigo $2.50 Many women long for a child to bless their homes, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to the entire female organism, curing all displacements, sensation and inflammation. A woman who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy maternity? If expectant mothers would fortify themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which for thirty years has sustained thousands of women in this condition, there would be a great decrease in miscarriages, in suffering, and in disappointments at birth. The following letters to Mrs. Pinkham demonstrate the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in such cases. Mrs. L. C. Glover, Vice-President of Milwaukee Business Woman's Association, of 614 Grove Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I was married for several years and no children blessed our home. The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not have any children unless I could have my children.

Now we have something to live for, and all the credit is due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Mae P. Wharry, Secretary of the North Shore Oratorical Society, The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis., writes. Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I was married for five years and gave birth to two premature children. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended to me, and I am so glad I took it, for it is so important to a woman to be strong, happy and healthy one within seven months. Within two years a lovely little girl was born, which is the pride and joy of our household. Every day I bless Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for the light, health and happiness it brought to our home." If a woman thinks she is sterile, or has doubts about her ability to carry a child to a mature birth let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, mass, whose advice is free to all expectant or would-be mothers. She has helped thousands of women through this anxious period. Women suffering with irregular or painful menstruation, leucocephra, displacement, ulceration or inflammation of the womb, that bearing down feeling or ovarian trouble, backache, bloating or nervous prostration, should remember that Lydia E.
