Breakfast was served by Mrs. Jordan, who was assisted by Mrs. Nettle Madison and Mrs. Bettie Simmons. The sacred concert at Douglass hall last Sunday was equally as well attended as on the previous Sunday, and I know that all who were present on both afternoons will agree with the Palladium in saying that there was an improvement in the programme last Sunday, although the one previous to it was grand. These concerts are, indeed, entertaining, and also very beneficial. They bring forth music in its sacred light, and do so much toward educating the individual's taste for this kind of music. Reception Tendered On Thursday evening, October 26, Mrs. Hattie Burchett, who left Friday, 27th, for her home in Memphis, was given a farewell reception by her friends at the residence of Mrs. Sarah Broxton, 4137 Fairfax avenue.

Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1905. CUPID'S ARROW PIERCES ANOTHER Wm. H. Banks, our young deputy sheriff, who has held his position with much honor and credit to his race, as well as to himself, has been justly rewarded for his untiring efforts, and his incessant energy. Cupid has seen fit to bestow the highest honor that any man could wish to attain by awarding him the hand of Miss Sarah L. Steward in marriage, who is one of Montgomery county's most accomplished school teachers. The bride's father, Mr. John Steward, one of Montgomery county's most prosperous farmers, looks forward to the event with much pleasure. Miss Sadie Harper, an accomplished musician of Montgomery, and also a very dear friend of Miss Steward's, will act as bridesmaid, while Mr. Emmet Brown, a postal clerk of St. Louis, will act as best man to Mr. Banks. The wedding will take place November 8, at 3 p. m., at the M. E. Church of Montgomery City, Mo., with Rev. Nolen officiating. Mr. Banks will leave St. Louis November 7, accompanied by his mother, Mrs, Mary E. Franklin, of 1705 Gratiot street; Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Walker, and the following young men: Messrs. Charles Turner, Jeff Covington, Wm. H. Owens, Sterling P. McGinnis, T. Leon Sydnor, Emmet Brown and a few others. LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Dr. B. F. Allen addressed the County Teachers' association assembled at Webster Grove, St. Louis county, October 26-28, on "The Spirit of the Teacher." The address was received with hearty applause. The presentation and discussion of various educational questions during the sessions demonstrated the fact that the teachers of this county are alive and up-to-date. Not less than seven of the recent graduates of Lincoln institute, or attendants of the summer school, are employed in this county, are doing well for themselves at fair salaries, and are illustrating the value of Lincoln institute as a school of high rank for the professional training of teachers. The patrons of Mr. W. H. Thomas, class of '05, principal of the school in Carbondale, Ill., are so well pleased with his work that, notwithstanding the presence of a state normal school to which their children are eligible, they have decided to send them to Lincoln institute. "The American Boy," the subject of a well-known and widely-advertised lecture, presented by Mr. T. A. Gamel to large audiences in leading churches of the country, was given with stereoicon views in the institute auditorium Tuesday evening, October 24. Full of timely suggestions, warnings and good advice, it furnished a most impressive lesson to parents, teachers and students. This was the initial lecture of the season, and President Allen promises several more treats of high order, both from literary and musical points of view. A park for the pursuit of manly sports is being fitted up in the southwest section of the campus under the supervision of the Athletic association; Prof. West, business manager. Several games of the gridiron are soon to be played here. The institute choirs, of which there are two, and the orchestra are all in excellent shape, and in a spirit of friendly and helpful rivalry, are furnishing most inspiring music for devotionals, Sunday services, etc. Prof. John G. Wheeler, an alumnus of Armour Institute of Technology, the new superintendent of the industrial department, of Lincoln institute, comes here from Tuskegee, where for the last eight years he has been engaged in industrial and academic work. Prof. Wheeler comes from a race of educators, as will be seen from the following facts: Loyd G. W. Wheeler, Sr., is business agent for Tuskegee; Loyd G. W. Wheeler, Jr., is assistant director of the academic department in the same institute; Miss Mabel Wheeler, a sister, is instructor of biology and literature in Sumner high school, St. Louis; Hiram Wheeler, a brother, passed through Jefferson City a few days since en route to St. Joseph, where he has been elected to teach agriculture in Bartlett high school in that city. Robert Wheeler, another brother, is freight agent for a railroad in the Hawaiian Islands. And yet there are those who say that education does not elevate the Negro! Come one, come all, to the farmers' convention Friday, November 3. THE NEW OWL CLUB Miss Ida Prince made quite a hit. Mr. Lewis Most acted the part of a "big chief Indian." Sam the Tailor sent his mascot up to look on and take notice. Miss Georgia Perkins acted the part of "Little Red Rinding Hood." The ball was a grand success, and all enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. Miss Mary Best looked very attractive in every particular. She resides at 3973 Finney avenue. Mr. James A. Davis, of 2732 Hickory street, was seated at a table with a bottle in his pocket. You should have seen him. Miss Henrietta Dickerson, of 2726 Hickory street, wore a long fancy lace dress, with white-corded belt which reached the floor. All passed off well, and the only thing that was missing was the "Dirty Dozen," who were so prominent at the Hiawatha ball last Sunday. Miss Frances Jackson, of 9 South Twenty-second street, looked almost equally as well as Miss Dickerson, but the latter was pronounced queen of the ball. Mrs. W. H. Wylie, of 3406 Olive street, was with Miss Garrison. Mr. S. Armstrong and Mr. Ben Summers were also in company with the dashing Miss Garrison. Miss Teresa Harris, of 709 North Sixteenth street, was the center of attraction. She wore a fancy pale blue skirt with a small turban hat. She was lovely to look upon. "Panhandle Pete" was right onto her. Antioch Church Notes. Antioch Sunday school will give a grand concert for the benefit of the school Thanksgiving evening. Come everybody. Rev. S. P.

He Asks the People to Render Thanks for Past Blessings and Consecrate Themselves to Lives of Cleanliness and Honor. Washington, Nov. 3.—The president has issued his Thanksgiving proclamation, setting aside Thursday, the 30th day of November, as a day of national thanksgiving. By the President of the United States of America: When nearly three centuries ago the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great republic, they fronted not only hardship and privation, but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years, the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a special service of thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving the people through the changing seasons. The custom has now become national and hallowed by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plentiful times than our forefathers, the men who with rugged strength faced the rugged days, and yet the dangers to national life are quite as great now as at any previous time in our history. It is eminently fitting that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanksgiving to the giver of good, and at the same time that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge their shortcomings and pledge themselves solemnly and in good faith to strive to overcome them. During the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops. Our business prosperity has been great. No other people has ever stood on as high a level of material well-being as ours now stands. We are not threatened by foes from without. The foes from whom we should pray to be delivered are our own passions, appetites and follies; and against these there is always need that we should war. Therefore I now set apart Thursday, the thirtieth day of this November, as a day of thanksgiving for the past and of prayer for the future; and on that day I ask that throughout the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship, and in rendering thanks unto the Most High for the manifold blessings of the past year, consecrate themselves to a life of cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that this nation may do its allotted work on the earth in a manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who preserved it. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this Done at the city of Washington this second day of November in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and five, and of the independence of the United States, the one hundred and thirtieth. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. By the President. Elihu Root. Secretary of State. CIRCULAR OF INSTRUCTION Secretary Wilson Wishes to Place His Department Above Suspicion of Graft and Favoritism. Washington, Nov. 3.—Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture has issued the following instructions relative to the outside interests of employees of that department: "No officer or employee of the government who is in a position, either to influence the award of a contract with the department, or to cause purchases of supplies to be made for the department, shall be interested in any firm, company or corporation doing business with the department. "Officers or employees who are engaged upon investigations of special industries for the department shall not be connected with, or interested in any firm, company or corporation whose scope of business includes the industry, which the officer or the employee is investigating for the department, and an officer or employee engaged in the above described work shall in no case allow his name, his work, or his connection with the department to be used in promoting or exploiting or selling stock in any firm, company or corporation, the scope of whose business includes the special industry which officer or employee is investigating for the department. No officer or employee shall perform or be engaged upon work for private individuals, firms, companies, corporations or institutions without the written consent of the secretary, first had and obtained through the chief of the bureau, office or division in which said officer or employee serves." New Commander For the Missouri Washington, Nov. 3.—Formal orders have been announced at the navy department detaching Capt. W. S. Cowles from command of the battleship Missouri, November 20, and assigning Capt. E. C. Pendleton as his successor. Capt. Cowles will resume his duties as naval aid to the president.

FAANCIS' MISSION As Representative of the President He Will Personally Thank Foreign Participants In the Fair. Washington, Nov. 3.—Hon. David R. Francis has notified the secretary of state of his acceptance of the mission as special commissioner to foreign powers in connection with the extension of thanks on behalf of the United States government for their participation in the Louisiana Purchase exposition, held at St. Louis. At the same time Mr. Francis has notified the secretary of state that he wishes to come on to Washington to confer with him relative to his mission, and inquires if he may do so, and when it will be convenient for the secretary of state to receive him. Mr. Root has answered that he will be at the state department daily, and will be glad to see Mr. Francis at any time. As Mr. Francis failed to furnish a list of the countries which did participate in the exposition at St. Louis, the department supposes that he will do so when he comes to this city. He will at that time receive the final drafts of the letters of introduction to the various sovereigns as the accredited representative of the president of the United States. BOGUS COINS ON VACANT LOT Remarkable Crop Found Among the Weeds Upon a Vacant Lot In the Heart of St. Louis. St. Louls, Nov. 3.—Miss Palona Scheppacher, 16 years old, of 2201 Division street, found a big pile of shining counterfeit money in a vacant lot adjoining her home. When the police were notified and search was made in the lot over 1,000 counterfeit coins were found, covered over with weeds. The police believe that the makers got frightened, thinking they were under suspicion and concluded to unload. The coins found indicated that nine different molds were used, and Uncle Sam's men would like to get track of them. JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE Frank Oller, Who Killed His Father at Alton, Ill., Exonerated by the Coroner's Jury.

The jury's verdict was justifiable homicide. The boy's mother, Mrs. Maria Oller, defended him, saying that her husband had threatened to kill her son because he would not allow him to obtain control of $8,500 he had been awarded for the loss of his foot in a street car accident. She believed he would have killed the youth and her too if he had not been killed. TWO MEN UNDER ARREST They Are Charged With Participation in the Boston Suit Case Tragedy.

Emory, were the ones who took the body from a hospital on Tremont street, Boston, and threw the dismembered portions, which were concealed in dress suit cases and a hand satchel, into Winthrop (Mass.) harbor. A TELLTALE ROPE FOUND It Was Evidently Used to Bind Stuart L. Pierson to the Track at Gambler, O. Mount Vernon, O., Nov. 3.—Evidence has been found which is being used to prove that Stuart L, Pierson, a Kenyon college student, was really bound to the railroad track when he was ground to death last Saturday night by a passing train. Buried beneath a culvert 200 feet from the spot where young Pierson was found, the authorities have discovered three lengths of rope and a wad of obscent cotton, both saturated with blood. LEADER OF GANG OF THIEVES Myra Oldham, a Negress, Arrested in St. Louis for Shoplifting, Says She is Head of a Gang. St. Louis, Nov. 3.—Myra Oldham, 23 years old, a negress, confesses that she is the leader of a gang of thieves and shoplifters who have been stealing goods from downtown department stores.

NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi ..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas ..... 12 Missouri ..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D. C. ..... 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each..... 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3.....12 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3.....12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Monta- tana, Utah, West Virginia, Wis- consin, Indian Territory have one each.....7 Territory have on each.....7 Published in the south.....101 Published in the west.....44 Published in the east.....26 Total.....171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last some- times a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ESTARS FILLED 12 YEARS DO NOT equipment, sundry big free Sundry Co with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

Happenings in Missouri. Presbyterian Plnn College. The synod of Missouri transacted much business of importance to the southern Presbyterian church at Marshall. After much discussion it indorsed the plan of the general assembly to establish an endowment fund for the relief of aged and infirm ministers and their families. The chief business concerned the work of home missions in Missouri. Steps were taken to prosecute this work in the southeastern and southwestern part of the state more energetically, particularly in the Ozarks. The establishment of a college at Forsyth was considered and plans made to complete the equipment at an early date. High Schools to Compete. Announcement has been made by the university committee on approved schools that representatives of 112 of the leading Missouri high schools will compete at the State University early next spring in debating and essay reading contests. A $125 scholarship and free tuition will be given by the university to the winner of each contest. The boys will compete in debate and the essay contest will be for girls. St. Louis Dairy Companies Combine. A combine of the ten largest dairy companies in St. Louis, controlling about 85 per cent of the supply of milk, cream and ice cream, and involving an increase in prices, has practically been completed and will become effective January 1. It was stated that the capital stock amounts to $3,000,000. The object of the amalgation, according to a prospectus issued is to raise the prices of dairy products. Shot by a girl's Father. After being forbidden to call upon the daughter of Wesley Cheney, a wealthy farmer living near Cuba, Leslie Jones, a well known young man, son of a retired merchant, went to his sweetheart's home and with the aid of a ladder gained access to the second story. Here he was caught by the girl's father, when searching for her, and was shot three times. Sues the Missouri Pacific. Sues the Missouri police. Warren S. Prine, of Sedalia, has brought a damage suit in the Petitt county circuit court against the Missouri Pacific Railway company, asking $10,000 for alleged injuries. Prine alleges that on September 3 last, he was struck by a Missouri Pacific engine at Ohio street, in that city, and thrown with great violence upon the pilot of the locomotive and was permanently injured. Flowers for Sick and Poor Flowers for Sick and Poor. Every member of the congregation attending the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Macon took flowers for the sick and unfortunate. These were collected in large baskets. The county jail the infirmary and the hospital share in the distribution of the flowers. Then the individual homes of the sick and poor were brightened in the same manner. He Educated Eight Orphans. Capt. James F. Wright, 86 years old died at Moorley, after an illness of two days. He had lived in Randolph county 65 years and served two terms in the legislature. Capt. Wright raised and educated eight orphan children, one of whom, William A. Wright, also has served two terms in the legislature. King's Daughters' Dedication. The King's Daughters of Missouri will meet in Mexico November 8. During this meeting the home erected by them for aged women will be dedicated. It is a handsome three story yellow brick building, modern in every particular, and situated in the southern part of the city. Spaugh Brothers Get Change. William and Arthur Spaugh, alleged slayers of Sheriff John W. Polk of Iron county, have been granted a change of venue by Judge Joseph J. Williams. They will be tried in Centerville, the county seat of Reynolds county, on the fourth Monday in November. Dress Caught Fire in Church. Miss Mable Alexander, 12 years of age was seriously burned in the Presbyterian church at Aurora. She was in the class room and got too close to a large stove, when her dress caught fire. Before the flames were extinguished she was badly burned. Bank Robbers Get Little. The postoffice and bank at Kingsville were robbed recently. From the postoffice cash to the amount of $15 was secured, all in pennies. From the bank two cash was secured, as the safe held out. Smallpox at Birch Tree. An epidemic of smallpox has broken out at Birch Tree, and physicians there have been unable to handle the disease, the citizens of the town wired to Kansas City for assistance. For Elk's Home at Sedalia. The contract for the erection of the Elks' home, which is to be built by the local lodge of Elks at Sedalia. It will cost $40,000, will be a three-story structure composed of red vrified brick and steel, with stone and terra cotta ornamentation. The building is to be completed by May 1, 1906. A Lawson Safe Robbery. Thivens entered the drug store of James A. Stamper at Lawson, and stole $120 in money, notes amounting to $3.492 and a check for $5.5. The spring River association has voted unanimously to turn over its one-fourth interest in the Pierce City Baptist college to the trustees of the college at Boliver. The college building in Pierce City has been sold to the public school district for $5,000. The expenses were nearly $500 which will leave $1,000 in cash to be transferred. The trustees of the college in Pierce City have voted also to turn over the library and laboratory. The library alone is variously estimated by those familiar with it at from $1,200 to $1,800 and the laboratory equipment is worth from $500 to $600. Laid Corner Stone in Rain. The firing of a cannon from the capitol terraces, with a band playing national airs at the scene of the ceremonies, enlivened the exercises of the laying of the corner stone for the new state supreme court building; at Jefferson City, but not sufficiently to offset the depressing effects of the steady downpour of rain, which interfered materially with the attendance. The programme as originally prepared was carried out in the rain. Gov. Dockery, who inaugurated the movement which culminated in the exercises, was unable to attend due to the death of his father. Law and Religion Clash. Declaring that he has received divine instructions not to place his children in the public schools of St. Joseph, William Hett, refuses to heed the admonitions of John T. Brady, the truancy officer. The parent was served with a written notice, ordering him to obey the compulsory education law, and if the instructions are not heeded by him, he will be prosecuted. Hett is a preacher who is not affiliated with any denomination, but says he unites with all Christians in their worship. Last Relie of the Fair. Solitary and alone, almost stately in its grandeur, the famous old Ferris wheel stands intact on the world's fair grounds. It is the bugboo of the Chicago wrecking company, which has the contract for removing the buildings of the Louisiana purchase exposition company, and it is liable to be the last relic of the fair. Officials of the wrecking company have stated that they probably would leave the wheel until the very last thing. Missouri Led All Others. Advance sheets of "Poor's Manual of Railroads," which will be issued November 1, gives the length of steam railroads in the United States December 31, 1904 as 212,349 miles, a net increase of 5,014 miles in the year.

Missouri has to its credit 418 miles which is 100 miles more than any other state. Girl Admit Horse Theft Girl Admits Horse Theft.

She said she had been induced to steal the rig by a young man, who left her between Pleasant Hill and Lee's Summit. She was placed in jail pending trial. The horse, when found, was nearly exhausted from hunger and travel, not having had the harness of for 96 hours. Receiver for St. Charles Merchant.

Miller, charged on six counts each with feloniously recording bets at the Delmar race track June 20, were passed generally by Judge McElinney in the circuit court at Clayton.

We learned very recently in different parts of the city of two Negro school teachers objecting to Colored persons purchasing property in their neighborhoods. An act that no other race of people in the country has ever been guilty of. It is a burning shame that our boys and girls must of "necessity" receive instructions from such miserable human beings.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH If you want to see the bright side of things join the P. W. C. Rev. N. C. Wicks, of Starkville, Miss., was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Cole last Tuesday. The Pleasant Workers' club will meet in a call meeting Sunday morning. They are preparing to serve dinner Thanksgiving day and have a national concert on the same evening. Rev. Dr. Cole returned from the National Baptist convention to the surprise and delight of the First Baptist church Sunday morning. The doctor is somewhat on the sick list. We hope for him a speedy recovery. Dr. Cole is nearing the close of his seventh year as pastor of the First Baptist church, and he is anxious to close the year with a great and grand rally on the first and second Sundays in December, at which time he hopes to raise $500. Mrs. E. C. Cole returned from Chicago last Monday morning. She reports a glorious woman's convention. She says to attend these meetings gives you new inspiration, and makes one feel like doing more for the Master. She also reports a pleasant time socially. Rev. Patterson, of Memphis, Tenn., stopped in our city last Sunday en route home from the National Baptist convention. He preached for us Sunday evening. Rev. Patterson is one of the oldest ministers living in the Baptist church. He is 81 years of age and has spent 69 years in preaching the Gospel. We feel proud of our old men, and ask God to bless them. The funeral of Brother Geo. Smith was attended Sunday afternoon at the First Baptist church, of which he was a faithful member. The Columbian Battle Ax U. R.

We hope this will get you to see clear: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until 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 discontinued. 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 uncalled 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 responsible 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 subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, 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. Don't forget December 25th.

Child Maimed for Life Through Momentary Neglect of Nurse—Pleasant Experiences Which Sometimes Come by Accident. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. (Copyright, 1955, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Nine-tenths of the untoward happenings that people call accidental are due to gross carelessness and shameful neglect. There are two sets of people in the world—those who keep things up and those who let things run down. The first have never indulged in the habit of putting off till to-morrow what ought to be done to-day. If the roof leaks or there is a crack in the ceiling or a loose board in the floor or a sagging hinge or a broken window cord, they repair the damage at once. They know perfectly that it costs less to mend than to mar, and marring goes rapidly on where there is no mending. As everybody knows the best way to let even a fine house go to absolute ruin is to shut it up and leave it without an inhabitant. A house that is lived in lasts longer and looks better than a house that is untenanted, because the forces of nature are constantly making war upon the buildings of men, and a constant battle must be waged against them if men are to come off victors. The heedless housekeeper has casually mentioned that there is a thin place on the stair carpet which will presentlywear into a hole. She is not ignorant of a rip in a rug which may catch somebody's heel and cause a tumble. But being heedless, she put off repairing the rent in carpet and rug until an unlucky person hurrying along has a fall, which means a hip out of joint or a broken leg, or, worse still, a jar which may cause apoplexy to some one in old age, or the development of a malignant disease in some one younger. These baleful sequences do come from slight falls, and somebody is responsible. A variety of miseries shuffle along in the train of so-called accidents, which never should have been permitted to occur. From time to time people die because they have eaten toadstools when they thought they were eating mushrooms. Nothing is easier than to distinguish between the delicious edible and the deadly fungus, yet there are those who mourn such deaths as if they were laid at the door of accident. Children are sometimes left in the care of thoughtless hirelings and are maimed for life through falls for which there was neither excuse nor occasion. A man fearfully deformed with a great hump between his shoulders was in his infancy the most noble and beautiful of children. While his pretty nurse was flirting with a gallant policeman the baby carriage took a slide down a steep hill and was overturned at the foot, and years of pain and wretchedness, with the handicap of the hunchback, have paid for that folly. We seldom read of a railroad accident that is not due to the carelessness of somebody, and yet it would be most unfair to utter sweeping criticisms on the employees of public conveyances. The average man is superbly trustworthy. The engineer sticks to his post and dies in the effort to save the train. When one of the engines on the "Majestic" was suddenly put out of commission not long ago, by a real accident that no care could have anticipated or averted, the corps of engineers, at the risk of their own lives, in the face of clouds of scalding steam, shut off the machinery, and were carried to the hospital afterwards. They were heroes. There are accidents that no one can prevent. But as compared with those which come by lack of care, they are few. When the lightning from the sky strikes a man dead as he sits in his house or walks by the way, he may be said to perish by the act of God. But when a man takes hold of a live wire with bare hands, he has only himself to clame if he drops dead the next instant. The accident was stupid and foolhardy. * * We need not limit what happens by apparent accident to disaster and calamity. There are pleasant things that may properly be set down to the account of accident, since we have not planned them nor in any way made the least provision, mentally or materially, for their coming to pass. A young man casts about for a good place to spend a brief holiday. Business claims him so constantly that vacations are few and far between. Not often does he obtain a recess. Shall he go to the mountains, to the old homestead, to the inland springs or the shore? Shall he accept a frined's invitation to join him on a yacht, or possibly shall he go on a bicycle tour over a distant state? He finally decides on one jaunt or another, with no ultimate object, except to have a good holiday. Yet on the yacht or in the farmhouse or by the way he is to meet a girl whose eyes shall capture his heart and who small change the face of the world for him for the rest of his life. "How came Hugh to marry Belle?" I once asked, wondering at what seemed an incongruous marriage, the husband a man of profound culture and varied learning, while the wife was a brilliant social butterfly, who cared for little except personal adornment and beautiful surroundings. "Oh," said the friend who answered me, "they met on a slow steamer crossing the Atlantic. Nearly everybody on board was seasick. But they had in common the fact that they were both good sailors, and by the time they reached Liverpool they were engaged. You might call it an accidental wedding, due to propinquity, but it has not turned out badly, though they are so in contrast. Belle adores Hugh and looks up to his superior scholarship with the proper degree of admiration. Most men appreciate nomage. As for Hugh, though Belle is shallow, he has never found it out. He will read a thesis to her and she will sit looking like a modern Madonna, really considering the style of her next gown, but outwardly listening to her good man's deep voice as it goes droning along the resonant periods. She does not understand much of it, but she makes him comfortable, and a 'good deal of married happiness is built upon a foundation of domestic comfort and mutual adoration. A little romance may be lent to the most prosaic day if we are ready to find pleasure in agreeable accidents. For instance, on the veranda of an inn at a resort which is patronized all the year round, alike in winter as in summer, one may meet an old gentleman or an old lady whose memory is a treasure house of incidents and anecdotes of a by-gone day. Interesting as younger people are, they cannot bear comparison with delightful old people who have lived in the midst of things through their busy years, and are contented to sit on the edge of things in the Indian summer of their lives. Accidentally the lady who is spending a few weeks for her health in a place like this drops into conversation with the old stager, who is pastmaster or mistress of charming gossip, and finds the idle days greatly enriched by the chance acquaintance. Accidents of this kind are common enough, but should never be taken for granted. They drift into our days like extra sunbeams and should be received with thankfulness. The happiest people are those who begin each morning with the expectation that some accidental joy will overtake them before night. WARM MILK AND HEALTH. Internal and External Applications of the Lacteal Fluid Give Surprising Results. The milk cure is one of the most famous of all cures these days, and the way in which it is managed makes it a tonic for the skin and the stomach. The patient takes milk inside and out. The outside milk cure is worry attention, writes Mme. Julie D'Arcy. This is the way it was described by a woman who took it: "I was massaged," said she, "from head to foot every night of my life with milk. I might have taken a milk bath had it not been so expensive. The milk baths were managed for me in this way. At night I was massaged with the top of the milk, which was like cream. Then, as the weather was cold, I was wrapped in blankets and put to bed. This was for extreme nervous prostration. "In the morning I took a bath in this mixture: The tub was filled with warm water in which about a quart of milk was stirred. And into this was dropped ten drops of benzoin. This A DRINK MILK. made a milky bath. After a week of this treatment I grew strong enough to do without the external milk treatment and to depend entirely upon the internal. "The internal treatment," said this woman, "was even more interesting. I was on the milk cure, which was managed thus: Every morning there was bought for me six quarts of pure or whole milk. This was put in six different cans and to each can there was added half a pint of pure water. A can was then set in warm water and as it heated I was allowed to drinkk it. "I took," said she, "a full glass of milk every half hour. It was slightly warm, just warm enough to take the chill off and keep me from shivering. "The ingenious part came in the flavoring of the milk. One can each day was slightly flavored with vanilla. This made the milk taste like eustard. And one can was flavored with cinnamon. There was just the very faintest taste of spice, as in a hot punch." Exercise Essential Exercise is of immense benefit in treating the skin. A woman should exercise until the skin is in a glow. She must exercise until she can feel that her lungs and heart are stimulated. Then she is ready for the skin lattions and for the scented bath. The exercise upon which the bellies of other days depended for their beauty was dancing. Dancing and horseback riding were the two diversions. Old-Fashioned Skin Food. A simple, old-fashioned skin food that is very good for wrinkles is made by beating to a cream two tablespoonfuls of oil of sweet almonds and one teaspoonful of rose water, adding three drops of camphor and two of tinctures of benzoin. Apply at night. THE SCIENCE OF LIVING. Dr. George F. Butler Tells How to Eat and How to As- Dr. George F. Butler, medical super-intendent of the Alma Springs Sanitarium, Alma, Mich., in the October number of "How to Live," gives some interesting as well as sensible rules for acquiring and keeping health. He says: "Without we eat and drink, we die! The provocative to do both rests with the appetite, which, in process of time, becomes a very uncertain guide; for the palate will often induce a desire and relish for that which is most mischievous and indigestible. The old saying of 'eat what you like' is now shunned by everybody of 20 years' experience. Still, without appetite, it is a very difficult affair to subsist—for the pleasure depends chiefly upon the relish. The relish may become, as has been stated, a vitiated one, but it is quite possible to make the stomach, by a little forbearance and practice, as enamored of what is wholesome and nutritious, as of that which is hurtful, and not concoctible." Again he says: "The delicate should feed carefully, not abundantly; it is not quantity which nourishes, but only that which assimilates." "Be careful of your digestion" is the keynote of the doctor's argument. He says: "Health in man, as in other animals, depends upon the proper performance of all the functions. These functions may be shortly said to be three: (1) tissue change; (2) removal of waste; (3) supply of new material. For the activity of man, like the heat of the fire by which he cooks his food, is maintained by combustion; and just as the fire may be prevented from burning brightly by improper disposition of the fuel, or imperfect supply of air, and as it will certainly go out if fresh fuel is not supplied, and may be choked by its own ashes, so man's activity may be lessened by imperfect tissue change, and may be put an end to, by an insufficient supply of new material and imperfect removal of waste products. "We should see to it that free elimination is maintained, for the ashes must be kept out of the system in order to have good health. The skin, kidneys and bowels must do their eliminative work properly. If the bowels occasionally become torpid, try to regulate them with exercise and proper food, such as fruits, green vegetables, salads, cereals, corn, whole wheat or graham bread, fish, poultry, light soups, etc. Plenty of water is also valuable, and a glass full of cold or hot water the first thing upon rising in the morning will aid much in overcoming constipation. Regular habit, cold baths, and massage are very efficacious. In case the constipation does not yield to these hygienic measures, some simple, harmless laxative may be required, such as California Syrup of Figs—a non-irritating preparation of senna in fig syrup—Laxative mineral waters are beneficial in some cases, but not to be employed continually. "Above all be an optimist, keep the heart young. Cultivate kindness, cheerfulness and love, and do not forget that 'we shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that we do, or any kindness that we show to any human being, let us do it now. Let us not defer it or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again.'" Good Prescription. If a man's life is solitary, he should indulge in brisk morning walks, followed by cold baths. If his occupation is apt to breed morbid fancies, he should read the biographies of good men and women.

What is the beginning of sickness? A. Constipation. Q. What is Constipation? A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the waste matter which lies in the alimentary canal where it decays and persons the entire system. Eventually the results are death under the name of some other disease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trouble at the present time. Q. What causes Constipation? A. Neglect to respond to the call of Nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Excessive brain work. Mental emotion and improper diet. Q. What are the results of neglected Constipation? A. Constipation causes more suffering than any other disease. It causes rheumatism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is the one disease that starts all others. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of sleep and strength are its symptoms—piles, appendicitis, and fistula, are caused by Constipation. Its consequences are known to all physicians, but few sufferers realize their condition until it is too late. Women become confirmed inalgesis as a result of Constipation. A. Yes. The first question your doctor ask you is "are you constipated?" That is the secret. Q. Can it be cured? A. Yes, with proper treatment. The common error is to resort to physics, such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, injections, etc., every one of which is injurious. They weaken and increase the malady. You know this by your own experience. Q. What then should be done to cure it? A. Get a bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will positively cure Constipation and Stomach trouble in the shortest space of time. It can be reused and known to cure Constipation positively and to cure Constipation positively and to cure. Q. What is Mull's Grape Tonic? A. It is a Compound containing 40 percent of the juice of Concord grapes. It exerts a strengthening, healing influence and helps their work unaided. The process is gradual but sure. It is not a physic. It is unlike anything else you have ever used, but it cures Constipation, dysentery, stomach and bowel trouble. Having a rich fruity grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. As a tonic it is unequaled, insuring the system against diseases. It strengthens and builds up waste tissue. Q. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be bad? A. Your druggist sells it. The dollar bottle contains nearly three times the 50-ounce bottle. Good for ailing children and nursing mothers. A Free Bottle to all who have never used it, because we know it will cure you. The genuine has a date and number stamped on the label—take no other from your druggist. THE HALF-BACK AUCTION. Honor of Alma Mater at Stake Prompts Bid That Gets the Player. "What am I offered for this prime New England half-back?" asked the auctioneer briskly of the assembled managers and alum, relates Puck. "Fresh from his pep school!" A time lined bucket! Follows his interference like a leech! Weight: 170 strippled Crum, now! "Free tuition during his whole college course," cried the manager of the Yale-event. "Free tuition," repeated the auctioneer, "during his whole college course. Do I hear free board? Remember, gentlemen, he has a record of 60 touchdowns in one season. Do I hear it?" Free board and board for four years, "and we'll toss in the Princetonitis manager," and we'll toss in the college agency for Doper's cigarettes. The auctioneer waved his gavel in preparation for the final bang. "Tutition, board and an agency," he shouted. "Do I hear free clothes?" Remember, half-backs are scarce. This one is guaranteed for four full years and a postgraduate course. Going at tuition, board and an agency! Going-I am a graduate and an agency! There was a ruse in the throng. A breathless, man burst through. "Free tuition, board, an agency," cried the newcomer, "free clothes, rent free in Vandergould hall, free text books, free trip to—" "Gone!" shrieked the auctioneer. "He's yours. What name?" "Manager Hale university. Last June by graduation we lost our whole back field and six of the lineages. The honor of our alma mater is at stake."

FUNNY People Will Drink Coffee When It “Does Such Things.” "I began to use Postum because the old kind of coffee had so poisoned my whole system that I was on the point of breaking down, and the doctor warned me that I must quit it. My chief ailment was nervousness and heart trouble. Any unexpected noise would cause me the most painful palpitation, make me faint and weak. I had heard of Postum and began to drink it when I left off the old coffee. It began to help me just as soon as the old effects of the other kind of coffee passed away. It did not stimulate me for awhile, and then leave me weak and nervous as coffee used to do. Instead of that it built up my strength and supplied a constant vigor to my system which I can always rely on. It enables me to do the biggest kind of a day's work without getting tired. All the heart trouble, etc., has passed away. "I give it freely to all my children, from the youngest to the oldest, and it keeps them all healthy and hearty."

Esther Pleading for Her People Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 5, 1905 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT - Esther 4:10-5:8. Memory Veres 13, 14. GOLDEN TEXT.—"The Lord preserveth all them that love Him."-Psalm 145:20 TIME.—Forty-three years after the completion of the temple in B. C. 516, and 18 years before Ezra came to Jerusalem. The dates of interest in connection with the lesson are: Reign of Ahasuerus (Xerxes) B. C. 478. The great feast B. C. 483. Esther made emperor B. C. 479. Esther saves her nation B. C. 473. PLACE.—Shushan, the winter palace of the Persian empire, about 200 miles south of east from Babylon. comment and Suggestive Thought. INTRODUCTORY—The Book of Esther.—The author is unknown, but must have been some one "living in the heart of Persia, a man who was intimately acquainted with the scenery he describes."—Prof. Adeney, The date of writing is also unknown. Prof. Sayce places it at B. C. 425. He says that the minuteness of Cetail shows that the author lived before the overthrow of the Persian power, B. C. 331. Some place the date still later. The Great Feast at Shushan.—The Ahasuerus of Esther has been identified almost beyond doubt with Xerxes, the famous son and successor of Darius Hystaspes of our last lesson. He reigned over nearly all Asia, and in his first years, 485, 484, he conquered Egypt. But Greece was still unconquered. Xerxes, therefore, determined "to lay a bridge over the Hellespont, and to transport an army into Greece to punish the Athenians" for their defeat of his father Darius at Marathon. For this purpose Xerxes, according to Herodotus, held a great assembly of the noblest Persians, to arrange for the expedition against Greece. It is probable that this was the feast described in the first chapter of Esther as taking place in Susa. It was at this feast that Ahasuerus, in his drunken excitement, insultingly commanded his queen Vashti to come into this reckless assembly of men to show off her royal beauty, thus outraging the most sacred rules of oriental etiquette. She refused to obey, and, as a consequence, the king deposed her from being queen. V. 11. "Whoseover . . . shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death." Rather, "there is one law for him." Whoever he be, there is one and the same law regarding him—he must suffer death. "Except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter:" There was, therefore, a possibility of Esther's reaching the cars of the king, but with the greatest uncertainty as to how such a capricious king would act, especially as his love for her had cooled. The mission Mordecai committed to Esther was one of great danger and difficulty. V. 13. "Then Mordecal commanded to answer Esther:" He gives four reasons why Esther should undertake the mission. (1) She could not escape the massacre, even if she should refuse to undergo this danger. (2) She was providentially endowed with beauty and raised to her position as queen for this very purpose. If this was true, God would make her successful. It is a blessed thing to find out what one is sent into this world for. (3) All her relatives would be destroyed. Every motive of patriotism and religion urged her on. (4) Then a great privilege was presented to her, such an opportunity as seldom falls to the lot of anyone. The work is certain to be accomplished in some way, but the joy and blessing of doing it is offered to Esther. 15. "Then Esther bade them return . . . answer;" She accepted the dangerous mission, but she went about her work in the wisest and most skillful way. (1) Religious preparation. 16. "Neither eat nor drink three days;" Fasting implies prayer, earnestness, confession of sin, a belief in God, an intense desire to be fitted to obtain the right spirit. This was on the same principle as Christ's promise to His disciples when two or three agreed together touching anything they shall ask (Matt. 18:19). (2) She used every means within her power. Ch. 5, V. 1. "Esther put on her royal apparel;" She was a sensible, practical woman, and used her beauty and charm of person and of dress to accomplish her object. V. 2. "The king held out . . . the golden scepter;" The sign that he received her, and that the most dangerous part of her mission was over. But the most difficult was yet to come. (3) She was very wise in her method of asking her favor, by a feast, by delays that keyed up the king's curiosity to the highest pitch, and gave her and Mordecal time to make the wisest plans for overcoming the unchangeable law of the Medes and Persians. (4) She was aided by the strange providence of the king's sleepless night, and the consequent behavior of Haman. Application Great crises, great trials, great dangers, have a mission in the building up of every nation. They awaken from spiritual lothargy; they cultivate a spirit of prayer, they lead to trust in God, they arouse courage. Heroism in everyday life is the expression and cultivation of the heroic spirit in our ordinary daily life. We cannot all be heroes in great things, but the field of heroes is everywhere, in every home, in every town. There are great enemies to overcome in our own hearts, there are powers and principalities of evil on every hand. Sex Against Sex. He occupied the seat; she was swinging on a strap. She was trying to shame him into politeness; he wouldn't shame worth a cigarette. A lurch of the car threw her against him and in the scramble she landed on his feet with both heels. "You're on my feet," he growled. "If you had been on your feet it never would have happened," said she sweetly—Detroit Free Press. Misunderstanding "I beg your pardon, waiter," said the tourist in the railway restaurant. "Did you say that I had 20 minutes to walk or that it was 20 minutes to eight?"

At Acton, England, recently, it was officially stated that the nurses at the public hospital were afraid to enter some of the rooms on account of the rats and that "the rodents terrified the patients at night by sitting on their beds." The matter was referred to a committee "with power to act." King's Wrist Watch The king of the Belgians is punctual in all his appointments, even to the minute, yet he is never seen to consult his watch.

The Plaster Stuck Customer—Not long ago I came in here and bought a porous plaster to help me get rid of the lumbago. Clerk—Yes, sir. What can I do for you now? "I want something to help me get rid of the plaster."—Stray Stories. Millions of Cigars Key West sent to the north the first six months of this year about 15,000,000 cigars; Porto Rico threw into the United States during the same period. about 40,000,000 cigars, while there came from Cuba during that time 25,000,000 cigars. Mushrooms in England There is an unpleasant boom in mushrooms this year in England. So abundant is the crop in some parts of East Norfolk that they are being mowed down with scythes to save the labor of hand-picking. Fine Figuring.

Pinkham "Mary's been studying in the east," said haren't heard, her play, myself, set." The girl's mother went to the piano in the next room, and the girl got her violin. For three or four minutes twanging from the two instruments was heard. Then there was a halt. It was there that the fond father made his mistake. "And lay something simple, Mary," he said. "That was nice, but it's too classical for me." The girl glanced through the door. Her face wore a look of disgust. "I've been tuning, father," she said. Poor Imitation.

Hinton, Ky., Oct. 30th (Special).—It has long been claimed that Diabetes is incurable, but Mr. E. J. Thompson, teacher in the Hinton school, has pleasing evidence to the contrary. Mr. Thompson has been accused of being to do so to cure Pills and is cured. In a statement he makes regarding his cure Mr. Thompson skips: No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles or such No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles or such hosts of grateful friends as has "I was troubled with my kidneys for more than two years, and was treated by two of the best doctors in this part of the state. They claimed I had Diabetes and there was little to be done for me. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I was not happy. It is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills that I am now enjoying good health." It will entirely cure the worst forms of Female Complaints, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Falling and Displacement of the Womb, and consequent Spinal Weakness, and is peculiarly adapted to the Change of Life. It has cured more cases of Backache and Leucorrhea than any other remedy the world has ever known. It is almost infallible in such cases.

CONSUMPTION Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle; dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, soothe and heat, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent Pills to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set, costing but $1.00, is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, disfiguring skin, scalp and blood humors, with loss of hair, when all else fails. One proof that fortune as well as love is blind is the persistence with which she continues to pass us by and bestow her favors upon others.

PARALYSIS CURED Case Seemed Hopeless but Yielded to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mr. Kenney has actually escaped from the paralytic's fate to which he seemed a short time ago hopelessly doomed. The surprising report has been fully verified and some important details secured in a personal interview with the recent sufferer. "The doctor," said Mr. Kenney, "told me that if I wanted to live any length of time I would have to give up work altogether, and he told my friends that the paralysis which had begun would in time involve my whole body." "Just how were you afflicted at this time?" Mr. Kenney was asked. "Well, I had first hot, and then cold and clammy feelings, and at times my body felt as if needles were being stuck into it. These sensations were followed by terrible pains, and again I would have no feeling at all, but a numbness would come over me, and I would not be able to move. The most agonizing tortures came from headaches and a pain in the spine. "Night after night I could not get my natural sleep and my system was wrecked by the strain of torturing pains and the effect of the opiates I was forced to take to induce sleep. As I look back on the terrible suffering I endured during this period I often wonder how I retained my reason through it all. "But relief came quickly when I was induced to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. The very first box seemed to help me, and seven boxes made me entirely well. There can be no doubt about the thoroughness of my cure, for I have worked steadily ever since and that is nearly four years." Mr. Kenney is at present employed by the Merrimac Hat Company and resides at 101 Aubin street, Amesbury, Mass. The remedy which he used with such satisfactory results, is sold by all drugists, or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicins Company, Schenectady, N Y.
