St. Louis Palladium

STLOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XXI. No. 20. THE FIRST DANCE OF THE YEAR 9 LITTLE WINNIE BOOTH. Of Mexico, Mo., who won the prize in ELIZABETHTEMPLE.NO.12. Of the S. M. T.'s Met the Grand Master, S. T. Pettigrew, Who Was Present to Install Their Officers. Last Friday Elizabeth Temple No. 12 assembled to meet the Grand Master and have their work overhauled. The Temple was on time, and after the examination was through the Grand Master admitted that the Temple stood head and shoulders above every other one in the State. He found that the Temple had in bank $616, and the Temple had less sickness or trouble than any other. The Grand Master spoke at some length, and stated that the order was in a good condition. Although they had at least sixty-four deaths, the Grand Lodge had paid their funeral expenses and did not owe one a dollar, after which the Grand Master introduced Past Deputy Grand Master J. W. Wheeler to make a few remarks, which he did. In speaking of the order he recognized the worth and good it was doing for its members and the poor. He said such an order needed some recognized official organ to let the world know that this order by its wise and judicious laws, and the fulfillment of the same will never be stolen as long as the Palladium is on deck, although we are not the official organ. After the Temple closed refreshments were served, and the Palladium man got his; that is, all the ice cream he wanted, as the Hon. J. D. Miller, editor of the American Eagle, was behind the scenes. These are the officers of the Temple; Hattie Williams, W. P.; Susie Frol, V. P.; Lula A. Bruner, secretary; Lena Jackson, assistant secretary; Nellie Lewis, treasurer; Laura Bomar, chaplain; Hattie Finch, first trustee; Eliza Muse, second trustee; Marie Newsome, third trustee; Alice Davis, senior marshal; Estella Lucas, junior marshal; Nathaniel Wilson, Joshua; Mr. Sheppard, Caleb; Ella Braden, Yilla Francis Haynes, pilot; H. H. Thompson, J. S. G. K.; William Rlee, Father Jacob; Anna Bridges, chairman of sick committee. Mrs. Hauke Williams will stand shoulder and head of all otter presiding offers in the city. Mrs. Lula Brunner is an exceptionally good secretary, and we see that Sister Nellie Lewis is getting humpback by carrying their money. LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT.

Wednesday evening, June 28, at the residence of Miss Ruth Thomas, for Miss Evelyn Hereford, was one of the swellest affairs of early summer functions. Miss Hereford married W. Jesley Norris, Thursday at 7:30 a. m., and the young ladies of the club tendered her a farewell luncheon as Evelyn Hereford. At 10 p. m. sharp each young lady was standing behind her chair and a toast was given the bride-to-be. After luncheon was served, ices in the forms of fruits and hearts were given the ladies to feast upon. A cupid was Miss Hereford's, made especially for her. The table was decorated with ferns and carnations, American beauties for the bride. The chair of Miss Hereford was a work of art, drapped in white with smilax and ferns, entertained, a large white bow at the back. All of the young ladies wore white. After the repast each member gave the bride a token wishing her much success and happiness in her new life. Those present were: Nannie Walton, Bertha Nesbit, Dorathea Nesbit, Nannie Turpin, Annie Segar, Ophelia Garrett, Clyde Garrett, Katie Harris, Ocasenia Jones, Oliver Richardson, Alice Simms, Ruth Thomas, Gene Mack and Evelyn Hereford. A AND A CLUB. On June 15th, 1905, Gen. Rice resigned the presidency of that organization, having served in that capacity more than 12 months. The board of directors and many of the members prevailed upon him to remain as president and general manager, but after he explained the fact that he had invested in a new field of business which would require all of his time and attention, his explanation was accepted with the best wishes for his success in his new venture from the club. Tom J. Holland, former treasurer, will succeed him. With Fond Remembrance. We regret that you have gone and left us, dear one; Gone to your home above. On this earth no more we'll see you; Still with you will be our love. We shall always think of you, dear one, Though in your home far away. And our prayers on earth shall be There upon some day. Then a long farewell, dear one, Till in Heaven we meet Again to dwell forever in that heavenly land, Where joy and peace shall have no end. Gone, but not forgotten. The worst kind of grip is that of the miser.

Resolutions of Damonia Court: We, the Damonia Court, feel that whereas the great and supreme ruler of the universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from among us one of our worthy and esteemed fellow laborers, Henry Boxley, and whereas the intimate relations held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties in this society makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him; therefore, be it Resolved, That the wisdom and ability which he has exercised in the aid of our organization by services, contributions and counsel, will be held in grateful remembrance. Resolved, That the sudden removal of such a one from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends of this community. Resolved, That with deep sympathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be overruled for good by Him who doeth all things well. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this organization, a copy printed in the local paper and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. n ERS fe co.

Wwe Zope Us wae ae Fos to see clear: 1. Subseribers 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 subseriber 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 uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subseribers pay in advance they ate 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 is 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 came as for theft, etc. NOTICE. News comes to us again of our for- mer agent, M. J. Madson, that he ob- tained more than 20 subscribers in Moberly, including the postmaster; also in Mexico, and likewise in Rolla. All whe send us their names, or evi- dence that they subscribed for the pa- per, we will send the same. So far we have counted 50 subscribers this agent has obtained. and not one dollar has been returned. Mark what we say, as soon as Chief Desmond returns home, he (Madson) will be arrested and brought to St. Louis. Mark the pre- dictiom of The Palladium. Warning. When you go to the drug store to buy a bottle of Ozonized Ox Marrow be sure that you get the “Ozoni#ea.” See that “Ozonized Ox Marrow Oo., Chicago, U. S. A.” is printed on the package.

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 or- der to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. ‘Texas,’ particularly the territory traversed by the San An- tonio & 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 Shi- ner. Kerrville Branch—San Antonio to Kerrville. Corpus Christ! Branch—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Greg- ory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skid- more 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 pune to keep him through the win- ter. It 1» uzderstood that the low rate Homeseekers’ tickets will continue to be on sale during November and De- cember 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 ba- bies and go south, and they will show you ail of these fertilized fields, where you ean enjoy life. It is a sad mis- take when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by tak- ing 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 win- ter, 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 oth- er things you wish to do, just take ad- vatitage of the never-before-heard-n? 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 incon- venience is to take advantage of what- ever opportunities afford themseives. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive daring the summer, but what is most unusual al- so 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 An- tonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this spe- cial offer of $15 a round trip for tne 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. _ni't hesitate longer.

SEVEN POINTERS FOR THE READ ING AND ADVERTISING PUBLIC. (1) THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fide subscribers than any other Negro paper in St.Louis, or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. To Our Subscribers. To Our Subscribers. We hope that our subscribers will settle up with us, as we are in need of cash. Many of our subscribers are putting us off to go to picnics and balls. This will not do. So when our collector calls, please pay her, and don't say that you will call. The government ordinance experts have decided against making any more of the 16-inch guns. Feeling against America in China is so bitter newspapers refuse to accept American advertisements. Mrs. Ida Swofford, who eloped from East St. Louis, Ill., with Bert Belcher, a negro, has been arrested with her paramour in Peoria. We will soon pay our respects to the so-called girls' and women's clubs, and when we are through with them, they will cut DAT OUT. Adviser of the kaiser says President Roosevelt intervened to prevent a war between France and Germany by dissuading England from urging hostilities. President Roosevelt has issued imperative orders that Chinese of exempt classes be allowed to enter United States without formalities of which they have complained. Until the young Negro learns that he or she can not have a good time seven hours at night, and give their employer seven or eight hours a day—as the old man said, they ought to cut DAT OUT. The manager of The Palladium wishes to say that we have 1,000 or more of the best subscribers in the city of St. Louis. They pay up well, and when they promise to come to the house they never do.

With this issue, The Palladium appears in a New Suit. That is to say it is printed on a better quality of paper. We tust our friends will help us keep up our good appearance, by settling all accounts we now hold against them.—Ed. Hunting for Trouble. While soliciting advertisements, the other day, we approached a man whom we had taken to be a gentleman, and asked him very politely for his ad. To my surprise, he said in a hog grunt: "I have got nothing for you nor your paper." I said: "All right." At this a big nigger in the wagon said something, using the most vulgar language, about whipping me. His words were so broken we could scarcely understand. At this remark I said: "I took you to be a gentleman, but the day you attempt that I will try and stop you." His remarks were heard by several persons, so when that fellow starts to me we shall defend ourselves, and I will bet dollars to pennies that he will remember that time. The T. C.'s Picnic Breaks All Records. Last Tuesday night the Twentieth Century Social club, or the T. C.'s, again broke the record of Bloemecke's grove. Not less than 5,000 people passed through the gates. Never since the grove has been open were there so many people in the grove at one time, and everything passed off quietly. There were 56 kegs of beer sold that night, 14 more than ever before sold at one picnic. Harry Denny and Sonny Mack have again shown the people of St. Louis how to conduct a first-class outing. The first prize was won by Mrs. Denny, of 1322 Market street; second prize by Miss Rebecca Taylor, 21 South Twenty-first street; third prize was won by Miss Gillespie. Everybody was satisfied. There is no use talking about it, for Harry Denny and Sonny Mack have got the laurels. POMBIEROS AT ALTON. On last Sunday, June 25, 1905, Jeff Covington, chairman board of directors; Emmet Brown, treasurer; Wm. A. B. Smith, Div. Con. and Adm. of the Pomibieros' association, visited Alton, Ill., and was met by the Social Knights of Alton, who extended their hospitality, and an afternoon ride over their beautiful city. The commander heartily thanked their president, John Moore, Jr., and Secretary Oliver Jackson for the courtesy extended, and cordially invited them to join us in making our excursion on Monday, July 3, 1905, the greatest affair of the season. Public School Teachers. We are sorry to say that the majority of our school teachers are, as a whole, a very selfish set of people. They seldom ever patronize any Negro in business. We admit that we have on our subscription list the majority of the principals, and they have for years had a will to do something for their race, yet the ladies think the dancing academy is enough for them. In the near future we will keep a tah on that corps for the next twelve The Greely Club Reorganized. At 1215 Lucas avenue the members of the Greely club meet. Officers: George Fountain, president; C. A. Scott, vice-president; Peter Hickman, secretary; Steve Smith, treasurer. Mr. V. L. Walker. It is an admitted fact that V. L. Walker is one of the best paper hangers in St. Louis, and he is a gentleman with it. The steamboat "City of Traverse," fitted with wireless telegraphy apparatus, has begun her trips out of Chicago as a floating poolroom and Monte Carlo. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. The Former Agent of the Palladium. Mr. Phil McGregor, of Pacific, Mo., subscribed and paid for the Palladium, also many more in Pacific, Mo. Send in your names and we will send the Palladium to you, at the same time we have written letters to many of our friends in the state to be on the lookout for this man. Whoever sees him have him arrested, and we will send for him, and to Jefferson City in the penitentiary he will go. J. W. WHELER Manager of St. Louis Palladium. Fun! Fun!! Fun!!! Hugh B.

He has never reported to this office, however, all that will send their names and receipts, we will send them the paper for the time designated. MANAGER. SEND THIS LADY TO EUROPE.

The Welcome Accorded By Cambridge Citizens, Alumni and College Officials Most Cordial. Cambridge, Mass., June 30.—Although nominally celebrating with his classmates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the class of '80, from Harvard university, President Roosvelt was the honored guest of America's most ancient seat of learning. No degrees of honor were conferred upon him, as he already holds the highest degree the university is empowered to bestow, but the welcome accorded him by Cambridge citizens, alumni and college officials was most cordial. The president entered heartily into the spirit of commencement day and played a leading part in all the functions incident to the occasion. It was scarcely nine o'clock in the morning when the lieutenant-governor, representing the commonwealth, called at the home of Bishop William Lawrence, where the president spent the night, to escort him to the Harvard yard, where the academic procession was to form for the march to the Saunder's theater, the scene of the commencement exercises. The number receiving degrees from Harvard aggregated 999, and included seven honorary degrees. Following the commencement exercises, the president made three public addresses, one at the Harvard reunion, the second and principal one of his tour at the annual alumni dinner in Memorial hall, and a third from the steps of Memorial hall to the members of the alumni who could not gain admittance to the Memorial hall exercises. The speech in Memorial hall, which was a general discussion of the mission of the college, evoked the greatest enthusiasm. Besides the more pretentious events, the president's programme included a brief visit to the Germanic museum, where he sent a cablegram to the German emperor, thanking him for his gifts to Harvard; an informal reception at the home of President Eliot of Harvard; luncheons at the Porcelain club and at the chief marshall's headquarters in University hall; tea at the residence of President Albert Bushnell Hart and a dinner at the Somerset club.

ORPHAN HOME EXCURSION ORPHAN HOME EXCURSION Last Monday the orphans gave their annual outing, and it marked an epoch in the history of the home. Over 3,550 people were aboard the steamer, and about 600 were turned away. Still not discouraged in this turn of affairs, they sought further means of getting to Montesano. About 300 of these chartered a train over the Iron Mountain route and reached the grounds about 2:30 o'clock. We were with the train excursion, and in that gathering almost every one was from Market, Lawton or Laclede avenues, and a goodly number were of the first-class at the Iron Mountain depot, Fourth and Chouteau avenue. We studied that crowd and the ladies proved to be up to the standard in good breeding. We noticed several young men who wanted to be gentlemen, mixing with ladies with their coats off and puffing their dirty cigar smoke in the faces of the ladies. It is not a wonder that the St. Louis girls look down upon the St. Louis young men, for they are so vulgar and ungentlemanly in the presence of ladies. We heard an old man say to a young lady, "Are you going on the excursion?" "I don't know, are you going?" and "Is your wife going?" "No, she will not be there." "Alright, we will have a good time." This made me sick to hear such a conversation between a young girl and an old nigger that ought to have been at home looking after his wife in place of running after that kind of a woman. Quite a question was raised in regards to getting rates. Mr. Ben Clark was willing to put up $100, but after one hour and a half they squeezed the amount out of the people who wanted to go.

Why is it in a first-class Negro cafe that the waitresses are continually brushing their hair while on duty? They will then take up the dishes without even wiping their hands. The waitresses in a first-class Negro cafe seem to think they have the right to be the associate of the guests; they take more liberties with them than their escorts. Again, why don't they wear foot-wear in keeping with the position they fill, and not go bumping through the cafe and around the tables like a horse that is rough-shod. Why will the waiter not be a little more reserved and remember there are other pebbles on the beach? A Successful Collector. Miss Richardson, secretary of The Palladium, is a most successful collector, and we hope that she may collect the better part of what is due us.

And the powder will flash as before; The rocket will whiz and the candle will flare, And the Chinese cracker will roar. And the iron cannon will sit on the hill And salute with a dozen booms; While the stick of punk will smolder away And greet you with stifling fumes. The Fourth will dawn as it always does, And the powder will burn in the street; And the split-devil's fire will circle around And register down the mishaps, While John in his laundry will not be safe From flying torpedoes and caps. The Fourth will dawn as it always does, And the country cousins will go To a pine platform somewhere in a grove To hear an eloquence blow, Of Bunker Hill and Liberty bell And the tale of King George's reign; The same old speech of a hundred years. But always worth hearing again. The Fourth will close as it always Goes, To the scream of the parting bombs; And the blistered boy will repair to his room. two weeks in Bed, but then he will say "I'm more than paid in de fun!" Chicago Daily News. It Brings Wildest Joy to Every Boy After a Disturbed Night to the Light Sleeper. There is not a holiday of any kind that does not strike joy to the heart of the American small boy, but it remains for just two of them all to insite in him any interest. One of these is Christmas and the other is the glorious Fourth of July. All the other holidays are good because they give him a chance to get away from school, to go skating, fishing or a-frogging, but these two have in themselves something of interest for young hearts. Nor have the means and the methods employed in celebrating them changed much in 100 years, although the further we get away from the Declaration of Independence of 1776 the more imposing and impressive does that event seem to be. It is a bad season for worn and shaken nerves. The light sleeper secures little or no sleep the night be- HE SITS UP IN BED. fore the Fourth, for there is one continual serenade of explosions. To add to the aggravation, the night is hot and all the available windows must be kept open as far as possible. There is no keeping out the noises under these conditions, and it is probably a fact that more sleep is lost during the night of July 3 than on any other night of the year, perhaps more than in all the other nights put together, taking into consideration the entire country. For all over the United States practically the same thing is going on, and in the cities at any rate it is safe to say that half the Inhabitants it awake. Think of it! Thirty millions of people losing a night's sleep! "Boom," a tremendous noise comes from away downtown somewhere, and Grufftone starts from a troubled doze into which he had fallen. His digestion has not been good for some days past and his temper has assumed a correspondingly yellow tinge. The stifling night is enough of itself to put him out of sorts, and not a breath of air is stirring. He is but half awake when another "boom," louder and nearer at hand than the other, drives away what remains of his unconsciousness, and he sits up in bed with a sleepy expression on his face, and a sentence of condemination for the small boy on his lips. In sitting up, however, he has forgotten that the bedstead has a hard and sharp-cornered post at either side of his head, and he has come in contact with one of the corners with sudden and unexpected severity. This accident is not calculated to increase his affability and smoothness of disposition, but it does thoroughly waken him. Then he hears the rattle as of musketry with now and then the deep, loud pounding of artillery, small firecrackers going by the bunch, giving much the sound of the rattling fire of rifles, while the single big fellows are distorting one's sense of the reasonableness of things by their terrific explosions. So the thing keeps up all through the long and tedious watches of the night with aggravating monotony. The only variety is in the combinations and permutations of "big and little" sounds as they would seem to a sleepy man. First there is a small "crack," then another and another, and then the air "DON'T BE AFRAID." seems to be rent in twain by the report of a cannon cracker. With sounds of half a dozen intensifies the thing keeps up an all-night bombardment, and it is probable that never are the same combinations of "small and large" sounds repeated throughout the entire time. It is the kind of variety that drives one insane, for he begins to try thinking up new combinations of sounds until there is a continuous procession of haunting explosions going through his mind like an endless chain made up of phantom links. It moves and moves until Grufftone is just dozing off again, when a frightful explosion right in front of the house brings him to full consciousness. This sort of thing is a doubtful preparation for Grufftone, and millions of others in his situation, and bodes ill for his equanimity on the morrow. This may account for the growing indifference exhibited by elder people towards the glorious Fourth and its old-time celebration. At any rate, as people grow older, they certainly do lose their interest in the noise and roar of the Fourth and feel more like retiring to some quiet spot in the country where they can rest in peace. But the youth of the land are as determined as the youth of old and the noise they make is as fierce as ever noise has been. Somehow, there is inborn in them the idea that the spirit of patriotism in themselves is in direct proportion to the amount of noise they make and the quantity of stuff they cause to be destroyed by fire. Peculiar THE HERO OF THE HOUR though this idea seems, it is widespread. Perhaps it is fostered by the fireworks concerns, but certain it is that there is no calculating the amount of money and energy that is annually thrown away in fireworks, powder, fire, lights and noise on the Fourth of July. This is, no doubt, the cynical frame of mind that Gruftstone has got into because of his night's experience. But when he sees the little fellows having good sport with the firecrackers and nigger chasers in the morning he gets the fever again and feels a little like taking a hand with them. Crackers and burned fingers and punk are the principal ingredients of the day's programme for the young. Some go to the ball game, some to races of one kind and another, or up to the island, and some stay at home and nurse their hurts. And at night, after the candles and rockets and fancy fireworks have been shot off, and the last cracker has done its work in the world, the small boy and the small girl, too, are finally persuaded to go to bed, completely exhausted with their day and night of excitement.—Detroit Free Press.

FOR SUNDAY READING TOO MUCH OF OUR FAULTS Why Should We Increase Their Power Over Us by a Too Con- stant Dwelling Upon Them? Carlyle was undoubtedly right when he made the statement: "On the whole, we make too much of faults. Faults? The greatest of faults, I should say, is to have none." A greater than Carlyle declared that if we deny our sins—and sins are faults—if we say we have none, the truth is not in us. The Master conceded the presence of grave faults in His followers, yet they were powerless to prevent Him from loving them. After all did not Carlyle merely voice the Master's though, expressed in Paul's admonition to "forget" the things that disturb our peace, that shadow the joy we hunger for? The things that discourage us and cause us to feel ashamed of our record, the depressing "things" we try to put out of our minds and out of our lives but which by long brooding over we have woven into our very being so it seems impossible to forget, Christ knew, and He gave Paul to understand that to be relieved from the dominion of any fault we must never consider it too great to be overcome, or of so fixed a character that we cannot put it from us and forget it ever hold sway over our lives. The human mind is strangely tenacious. It clings to the things that have impressed it until they seem to leave their impress too deeply marked ever to be wholly erased. It may be that it is because—in spite of certain beliefs—the heart naturally longs for and delights in the higher and nobler things of life, and the failure to reach them is so disheartening that we give too much anxious thought to our failings, strengthening their power by believing in them and recognizing their hold upon us. We always expect much from that which possesses our firm faith, and if it has power to harm us, our faith in that power takes away our strength to resist, and soon we are dominated by the very conditions against which we have been striving. "Make too much of our faults." Yes, when we allow them to weaken and discourage us. When we remember that to be human means that we are shot through and through with tendencies that invite, if they do not in reality bring upon us, some stain of sin, why should we increase their power over us by a too constant dwelling upon them? Why grow so disheartened that we lose our faith, not only in ourselves, but in the Father's love, and His eagerness to lift us out of the depths into which we have fallen and start us anew on the right road? To live hopefully, to have faith in the final outcome of our efforts, says the Burlington Hawkeye, we must recognize the fact that we are not alone in the struggle; others are finding it just as impossible to rid themselves of their faults, and if we can have faith for them why not for ourselves? If we can excuse them and think it not impossible that they should win eventually, why "make so much" of our own failings that we lose heart and declare it useless to try to overcome? Rather, "forgetting the things that are behind" we should press a little closer to the Master's side where He can more readily reach out and steady us when we stumble. "Each sin I cast away shall make My soul more strong to soar." SENTENTIOUS SAYINGS Self-canonization cannot make the saint. There are no disciples without discipline. Misfortune is hardest on the man who sets his heart on fortune. Too many think that the church is only a nickel-in-the-slot elevator. They only are satisfied with this world who are insensible to any other. There are no prizes for those who will not pay for them with persistence. It is better to fail at being an oak than to be satisfied with being a squash. The devil has a fellow-feeling for any man who thinks he can fool the Almighty. Satan is quite willing you should be rich; his only fear is lest you should be right. Men do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself; but because it contradicts them. When you get to thinking that love is a lottery you are likely to prove it by drawing a blank. You can tell a whole lot about a man's religion when you know what the children think about him.—Ram's Horn. Influence of Belief. What we believe has more to do with life's good or ill than birth, station or culture. It is this that will influence us in any given circumstance, and decide for us what we will do or not do. Our associations will not lead us astray if we have clear-cut and well-defined convictions that they are wrong. When we come to the parting of the ways it is conviction, or the lack of it, that will lead us this way or that. The signboard may tell us that the city lies in a certain direction; but if we know that the signboard is wrong we will take the other road. Belief gives bias to life. It creates tendencies; it molds circumstances; it utilizes conditions; it controls impulses and sits as umpire over all temptations and perplexities.—United Presbyterian.

Husband's Strength Had Been Waning for Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from Female Weakness. "My strength had dwindled so that I couldn't apply myself to my business with any snap but was tired and listless all the time," said Mr. Goldstein. "I went to bed completely used up by my day's work, and when I got up in the morning I didn't feel rested a bit. I had awful headaches too, and my kidneys got out of order and caused me to have severe pains in the back. At one time I became so feeble that I could not stir from bed for three weeks." Mr. Goldstein is a young man and had then but recently established a home of his own. His anxieties were increased by the fact that his wife was far from being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says: "For two years I had been ill most of the time. Sometimes I was confined to bed for weeks in succession under a physician's care. I had headaches, kidney trouble, pain about the heart and many more uncomfortable symptoms connected with that weakness to which my sex is peculiarly subject." Trouble had invaded, this household and settled in it in just the years that ought to be the very happiest. Physicians could not tell them how to get rid of it. "I was utterly discouraged," said Mr. Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some friends led me to try a blood and nerve friendly which was said to be wonderfully successful. Within a month there were unmistakable signs of improvement in my condition, and within a year I was completely well. Through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I have now as good health as I ever had in my life." Mrs. Goldstein adds: "The wonderful effect that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had in the case of my husband led me to try them and they helped me even more quickly than they did him. One box made me decidedly better and a few months' treatment cured me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic and regulator, they make pure, rich blood and when there is general weakness and disorder that is what the system needs. Mr. and Mrs. H. Goldstein live at 38 Gove street, East Boston, Mass. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by druggists everywhere. NEVER BECOME FEATHERED Eggs Which This Stranger Eats Are Boiled, Consequently Birds Don't Issue. A vegetarian had an amusing experience the other morning while at breakfast. His family was out of town, and he went to a restaurant and took a seat next to a stranger. The vegetarian took occasion to advertise his creed by telling the stranger that all meat was injurious and that the human should be strictly vegetarian. "But," said the stranger, "I seldom eat meat." "You just ordered eggs," said the vegetarian. "An egg is practically meat, because it eventually becomes a bird." The kind of eggs I eat never become bird eggs. The vegetarian, "Good heavens!" cried the vegetarian, "what kind of eggs do you eat?" "Principally boiled eggs," said the stranger—Chicago Tribune. Of Wide Interest. Breed, Wis., June 26—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 briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best. Kidney medicine on the market to-day. Dodd does 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 led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. After taking one box I can only say they have done more for me than expected as I feel as well now as ever I did before." Part in the back is one of the first symptoms of Kidney disease. If not cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may develop into Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Rheumatism or some of the other deadly forms of Kidney Disease.

Since the earliest annals of Oid Egypt, wheat has been recognized as the king of foods. It has held its sway down to the present day, notwithstanding the fact that in many forms of making wheat into food products, some of the best elements are lost. Bread has been aptly termed, “the staff of life,” as it alone of known foods has all the elements that are needed to sustain life. Egg-O-See contains ali the best elements of wheat in a far more healthful and delicious form than any bread, crackers or ordinary wheat foods.

PERSONS.—Hezekiah was king of the southern kingdom. ‘The northern kingdom had ceased to exist. Sennachertb ruled in Assyria, and Tirhakah, afterwards king of Egypt, was probably governor of Lower ‘Egypt. Isaiah and Micah were prophets at this period. Introductory. In the study of the Old Testament, which we take up with the present les- son, we shall in the next six months trace the downfall of Judah, the captiv- ity and the return, and will also review the writing of the ma§or and minor prophets. ‘The History of Israel, the northern kingdom, we carried to a close in the lessons of last year. Established by Jeroboam in 937 B. C. (revised chronol- ogy), it became extinct in 722 B. C., after a troubled existence of a little more than two centuries. It saw 19 kings and nine dynasties, the longest of which, that of Jehu, endured through only five generations. lt changed its capital three times—Shechem, Tirzah, Samaria. Seven of its kings relgned but two years or less. Its principal mon- archs, Jeroboam, Omri, Ahab, Jehu, and Jeroboam II., had been men whom God could not bless. Ahab’s marriage to Jezebel, the unspeakable Tyrian prin- cess, brought countless evils in its train, Periods of outward prosperity under the stronger rulers were marked by deepen- ing idolatry and closed ever in bloody civil wars, devastating the land. The great prophets that uttered their bold warnings, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Amos and Hosea, were little heeded. Syrian ‘oppression was succeeded by the As- syrian conquest, and the sad history ends with the fall of Samaria, a large part of the people heing carried into ex- ile. This story ot Israel is one of the most conspicuous examples in the world’s annals of the folly of turning from Jehovah to other gods. The History of Judah, the southern kingdom, through these two centuries was in strong contrast to that of Israel. ‘There had been 13 kings, and only a single dynasty. Moreover, the great Kings, Asa, Jehosaphat, Joash, Uzziah and Hezekiah, under whom Judah en- joyed much prosperity, were all good kings and God-fearing men, and reigned collectively 187 years. Idolatry flour- ished at times, especially after the fool- ish marriage of Joram to Athaliah, daughter of Jezebel; but a succession of masterful reformation kept the king- dom measurably true to Jehovah. There was less need of prophets than in Israel, and only one of first rank arose—Isaiah, in the time of Uzziah. Micah prophe- sied toward the close of this period and possibly Joel. Early in this history the Levites and other pious citizens left Is- rael for Judah, and greatly strength- ened the southern kingdom. Until the fall of Israel that nation wasa buffer be- tween Judah and Syria and Assyria, while to the south Egypt was repulsed and Philistia conquered or held at bay. Contrasted, therefore, with Israel, the story of Judah through its first two cen- turies illustrates the Psalmist’s words, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” Alas that the nature of the his- tory was so soon to change! ‘The Lesson Setting. At the time of our lesson Sennascher- fb has had a marvelously victorious campaign. Sidon has surrendered, and the allies of Egypt have been defeated, Forty-six of the fortified cities of Judah then fell before his swift advance, and Jerusalem is threatened. “Signs of the Assyrian advance were given in the sky, and night after night the watchers on Mount Zion, seeing the glare in the west, must have speculated which of the cities of Judah was being burned. Sennacherib’s own account of this invasion was inscribed upon what is known as the Taylor cylinder, now in the British museum. After an account of his triumphs over Syria, Egypt and Philistia, Sennacherib wrote: “And Hezekiah, the Judaite, who had not sub- mitted 10 my yoke—46 of his fenced cit ies, and fortresses, and small towns in their vicinity without number . . . I besieged and took; 200,150 persons, small and great, male and female, horses, mules, asses, camels, large cat- tle, small cattle, without number, I brought forth from the midst of them, and allotted as spoil. As for himself, jike a caged bird in Jerusalem, his cap- ital city, I shut him up. Forts against him I constructed, and any who would go out of the city gate I caused to turn back. . . .

SONNY MACK, Manager. HENRY GRAY, Vice-Pres. RICHARD ALEXANDER. Secretary, PITTSBURG PREPARING To Entertain the Supreme Lodge, K. of P., in August. When the representatives of the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of western Pennsylvania, rose in their places at the Supreme Lodge convocation in St. Louis in 1903, and invited that body, with earnest and impassioned language, to hold its next biennial session in St. Louis Pa., promising on their part, and with the generous assistance and hearty co-operation of the lodges, Uniform Rank and Courts of Calanthe within the jurisdiction, to make the convention the most memorable gathering in the annals of the order in this country, they spoke strictly within the bounds of probability and possibility. The invitation was accepted; the date, August 21-26, 1905, was fixed, and it is now up to western Pennsylvania to make good its promises by successful performance. Here, in Pittsburgh which is the logical center of the Grand Lodge, K. of P., of western Pennsylvania, with its 25 lodges, 7 uniform companies and 17 courts of Calanthe, supplemented with the hearty support of the best citizens of both races, in all the region roundabout, the plans have been laid, and the work is being done, which will demonstrate beyond all peradventure, to the officers and delegates to the Supreme Lodge, and the thousands of visitors who will attend it, in the ides of August, that the Pittsburgh Knights of Pythias knew what they were talking about when they said: "Come, and we will do the good, and make thee happy." The biennial sessions of the Supreme Lodge, K. of P., are always occasions of more than passing interest to a very considerable number of the Colored people throughout the country. It is the second largest benevolent organization among us, and in its ranks can be found many of the best men of the race. The martial character of the uniform rank attracts the younger men and affords them an opportunity to engage in military exercises, while the courts of Calanthe make it possible for the ladies to assist their fathers, brothers and husbands in emphasizing the motto of the order, "Fraternity, Charity, Benevolence." Then, too, the coming together every two years, from all points of the compass, and the consequent interchange of thought and ideas concerning Pythianism, and all else beside, broadens the horizon of life for all who attend the conventions, whether as a delegate or as a mere "looker-on in Vienna." The man from the north, south, east and west can not visit among his fellows without learning much that is useful, seeing much that is interesting, and hearing much that will start the think wheels revolving. In no city that the Supreme Lodge has ever held a convocation was there more along educational, historical, industrial and social lines to engage the attention and arouse the interest of the visitor than can be truthfully said of Pittsburg. Its homes, churches and public places, for comfort, architecture and magnificence, will vie in those in any city. Its people are intelligent, hospitable and thrifty; and once they throw the door of invitation open, rest assured that the glad hand and cheerful welcome awaits all comers. The Grand Lodge committee has established headquarters at No. 1225 Wylie avenue, Pittsburg, Pa. Its committee on accommodation already has quite a list of stopping places recorded, where bed and board can be had, during the session, for $1 per day. Its other committees are equally forward in their work. A special rate, to be announced later, has been secured on all railroads entering the city. But Rome was not built in a day, and all can not be told in one article. More anon, JARTH.

Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. In order to prove to the public that Glossine is the greatest and most meritorious of all hair tonics we will give free to every reader of this paper, not a sample, but a full size box. If Glossine was not the best hair tonic in all the whole wide world this offer would bankrupt us. Glossine, queen of all hair tonics, is the most wonderful remedy for the human hair ever discovered and has astounded the whole world by its miraculous and mysterious power in lengthening, straightening and beautifying the human hair. It is the result of long years of careful study and the earnest researches of Miss Helen Martin, a beautiful and attractive woman, who is acknowledged to be the most skilful and famous beauty doctor of the day. She is a wonderful and most magnificent specimen of womanly grace and beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely looks to be 30. When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully preserve the attractiveness and beauty of youth. Miss Martin said: "Why, it is very simple to me, and every woman, be she white or Colored, young or old, or as ugly as sin itself, can become pretty, shapely and graceful if she will only do as I advise. As a child I was never considered pretty, in fact I was not even thought to be good looking, and for this very reason ever since I was a girl of sixteen ...ave made a study of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. "In the glorious vegetable world which nature has so bountifully bestowed upon us there are hundreds of innocent mediums which after my long life of study and investigation I have been able to successfully blend and formulate into various preparations which enhance and preserve the life and beauty of the hair and skin. I owe my own good looks and youthful appearance to these preparations which are the results of my life long work. "As to Glossine, I have never known it to fail to cause the hair to grow long, straight, soft and luxurious. It matters not how harsh and kinky it may be, and I care not if it be short, broken, splitting at the ends or falling out, Glossine will positively make it long, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair luster, length, life and beauty, and no head of hair can be so harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease and in any prevailing style desired. "It will restore gray hair to its former color, make the hair grow out on all bald spots, and on the temples, where the hair is usually thin and unslightly. Glossine is high, sweetly and delicately perfumed, and its color and subsistence is very attractive to all. Seeing our great success, and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of honest dealing, numerous unscrupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spurious and harmful compounds for the hair and skin that cause the hair to fall, thus causing baldness and ruin; mar and deface the delicate textures of the human skin. In their wicked desire to gain money, these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life itself. In order to discountenance and condemn such dishonest methods, Miss Martin has decided to give a full package of Glossine to any reader of this paper, male or female, who will send their name and address. Do not delay. Write to-day. A postal card will do. We will also send our catalogue, which describes in detail our hair tonics, face bleaches and other toilet requisites.
