The fourth annual Farmers' convention of Lincoln Institute was called to order at 9 a. m., November 10, by Dr. B. F. Allen, president. "America," with piano and orchestra accompaniment, was sung with enthusiasm by the large audience of students and visiting friends from the city and out of town The newly organized, but already famous Lincoln Institute band played several stirring and patriotic airs—"Stars and Stripes," "Uncle Sam," etc. The annual address was then given by Dr. Allen. As a preliminary remark, he stated that one of the main objects of the convention was to show the students assembled the value of farm life, the dignity of labor and to correct erroneous impressions relative to working in the soil. During the address the president referred to the wonderful resources of Missouri, the value of its land per acre, and urged the students to look Help the Colored Y. M. C. A. Our association recently purchased the property at 2702 Lawton avenue at a cost of $5,000, of which $2,500 was paid in cash. An expense of $500 has been incurred in remodelling and fitting up the building, so that the total debt is now $3,000. We appeal to the citizens of St. Louis to pay off this encumbrance in order that we may not be embarrassed in our work. The religious, moral, intellectual, social and physical development of our boys and men is our aim. You approve of this; you can help us; so do your duty and make a liberal dona- --- forward to the purchase of some of that land, or to take up government land and work upon it. He urged the study of Political Economy that they might learn the laws of wealth, the laws of profit, of production and consumption; and entreated them to become producers as well as consumers. He spoke of the necessity of building up excellent communities in various parts of the state, of putting brain into one's work, and emphasized the fact that the Negro must learn to have something that other people need, if he hopes to demand proper respect from the world at large. He deplored the mortgage system which so many seem to invite, and urged the improvement of home-life in every way. With literature at reduced rates, rural delivery, telephone connection, etc., there is to-day no excuse for ignorance on the part of the farmer. The speaker did not wish to be understood as telling everybody to go to the farm, but the race must have its quota of intelligent farmers, working with up-to-date implements and labor-saving devices, if it is to be able to stand the competition of American life. He thought the Negro should acquire stability and the desire to accumulate; that he should not change his position too frequently without knowing a good reason for making the change, and that in every thing we undertake we should strive to measure up with the best; in other words, that we should give intelligent service and the best that is in within us in every line of work. tion to a necessary institution in this community.

LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1905. He fears that the Negro boy is not keeping up with the Negro girl in any line of work, and urged the boys to put forth greater efforts. After the song "Columbia" had been sung with characteristic energy, President Allen called for speakers from the student body representing various counties of the state, and states of the Union. Among the responses were the following: Callaway and Boone—Benjamin Winn. Buchanan—Percy Robinson. Cole—Jeanette Horrell. Howard—Richard Jackson. Jackson—Howard Hickerson. Johnson—Grant Tayes. Marion—Alice Shropshire. Randolph—Walter Viley. Ray—Lawrence Kimbrough. St. Francois—Kitsy Townsed. St. Louis—Lodlie Ford. Saline—Morton Henderson. Southwest Missouri—Messrs. Rucker and Shackleford. Texas had an interesting and humorous speaker in William Scott, and Kansas in James Saunders, of the college department. College yells enlivened the various speeches and intervals. The "Star Spangled Banner" was rendered by the school in an artistic manner, and after closing remarks, in which President Allen cordially thanked all who had helped to make the session a success, the convention adjourned to meet at an early date (hereafter to be specified) in November, 1906. DR. B. F. ALLEN, President. JOSEPHINE S. YATES, Secretary. There is No Love, Only Conveniences, So Love the Blossoms. Man proposes, woman imposes and the divorce court exposes. Love may be blind, but the neigh- bors generally have their eyes open. No girl is too good to be hugged. The Bible tells us to hold fast to a good thing. A girl may forgive a man for kissing her, but never for apologizing afterwards. As a rule the man who has been driven crazy by love did not have very far to go. Kissing is unhealthy if her father catches you at it. The more a man studies love the more he will reduce his ignorance to science. Love laughs at locksmiths, but it reserves its swetest smile for the goldsmith. Woman is a delusion and a snare, yet man, poor man, loves to be snared by delusions. After a girl passes twenty-five she might as well marry, for she will fade anyway. Woman's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands die old bachelors. The lover who is fired with passion for the daughter, is often put out by the father. A girl never likes the idea of being squeezed in a crowd, she prefers having it done in private. The Bible does not promise it, but there is no doubt that the Lord will forgive all the lies a man tells when he is in love. GOING TO DENVER. Mr. R. V. Dodridge and Jas. Dixon will depart for Denver, on or about December 15, for a visit of some time. The Palladium wishes them a good time. AT THE MASONIC TEMPLE Last Monday Night, Nov. 13. Last Monday night a grand benefit was tendered Mr. Ben Banks, a worthy and most deserving member of the Masonic order. The friends of Mr. Banks were out in number, and all had a pleasant time. Dancing was enjoyed by those that liked that kind of pleasure, and Mr. Banks has cause to be proud of the occasion. He was dressed in a full dress suit of broadcloth, spike-tall coat, which set him off, and many complimented him. The doorkeeper was very polite, and as the Palladium man came up he said: "Throw the door open and let the terror of evildoers come in." I said: "Thank you, gentlemen, but I want to hear Prof. Flowers sing "Rufus Rastas Johnson Brown, What You goin to Do When the Rent Comes Round?" Mrs. May White and Mrs. Carrie Allen, of 1418 Pine street, were the center of attraction, and several remarked that Mrs. White was the best dancer and the best dressed lady. Mrs. Carrie Allen was a dream, a woman whom we like to look upon. She was all O. K. Mr. Wm. Cross was as jovial as ever but he was very anxious to see me. I asked him what he wanted, and he said that his wife requested him to pay me $3 for the Palladium. Of course I was willing, and at once gave him a receipt for $3. 2736 Lucas avenue. We were struck with astonishment when we beheld Mr. W. A. Ashley and Thos. Holland. We asked: "Are you two men brothers?" Mr. Ashley said: "Oh, no; we are no relation, but we are a pair, 1416 Morgan street." We saw one of the stewardessen of our church there. We looked and looked, and yet it was her. Remember the Palladium man is a good mixer. The lady and daughter of 1818 North Grand avenue were there as usual with those 5, 10 and 20-dollar bills, yet she is a stinger with them. Officer Evans was there, but the people were so quiet that he left without his usual game of making some one happy. Mr. Samuel Prince was there looking as if he would do anything in the world to make men and women happy. Mr. H. C. Curtis was there and having a good time. I tell some and keep some. 707 North Fourteenth street. We noticed Mr. Geo. W. Holt, and he said he came down to do what he could for a worthy man. What the Palladium Would Like to Know. Why is it that a lady in 3200 block visited the bath house at 2234 Market street? Why is it that the lady in 3200 block takes the Market street car instead of the Laclede? Why is it that the man at the bath house is so attentive to the lady who lives on Lawton avenue, and takes so much care in assisting her on the Market street car? Why is it that the woman who is supposed to be a good dressmaker wants to keep roomers? Please answer. Why is it that men, when they decoy women from home, do not look after them financially? Answer: Because they cannot take care of themselves. Why is it, after three years of absence of a woman from her husband, she does not make some improvement in her business, as she is such a business woman.

Last week the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton, of 2226 Walnut street, were caused almost to cease on account of a serious accident which befell their sweet little daughter. The child was evidently playing with a brass tack and accidentally swallowed it. For two days she was in a very painful condition, but thanks to kind Providence the little one is now out of danger and getting along nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton were scarcely able to navigate during those two days of suspense.

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 Best Missouri News To Start a Big Poultry Farm. Kansas City men have bought 60 acres of land one mile east of Oak Grove, in Jackson county, for the purpose of raising poultry on a larger scale than has yet been attempted in that part of Missouri. The company has been incorporated for $50,000. The land will be divided into tracts to accommodate thousands of fowls. The whole will be enclosed with a screen wire fencing. On each tract will be erected the hen houses for the accommodation of the old stock, and large glass covered sheds, properly heated and ventilated, for the raising of young chickens at all seasons of the year. The ranch will be stocked with 15,000 hens and 1,250 roosters; 12,000 of the hens are to be kept exclusively for the production of eggs. Other sources of profit will be the raising of squabs and ducks. The company will stock the ranch with Leghorns for laying purposes and Barred Plymouth Rocks for the market. After St. Louis Loan Sharks. With the issuance of warrants for the arrest of Isaac Arfcherhoeffer and Harry Palmer, of St. Louis, charging usury, a crusade against money lenders has been inaugurated by employees of the Western Union Telegraph company. The crusade, the employees state, has the active support of Gov. Folk, to whom their emissary appealed ten days ago. The governor evinced great interest in the specific cases laid before him in which employees had lost heavily, and, it is said, instructed C. W. Henry, division chief, how the money lenders could be prosecuted. A Hunters' License Ruling. More than 500 hunters' licenses have been issued in Vernon county. The prosecuting attorney, Mr. Moss, after examining the law, has come to the conclusion that it is not necessary for persons to take out license to hunt in their own county, but anyone hunting in a county in the state other than that in which they live is required to take out a license. He will not at-attempt to prosecute persons hunting in Vernon county who are residents until the matter is decided by higher courts. Must Enforce Eight-Hour Law. Must Enforce Eight-Hour Law. Because of the decision of the United States supreme court sustaining the constitutionality of the Missouri eight-hour mining law, Gov. Folk has notified Walter Ragland, inspector of lead and zinc mines in the western, or Joplin, district that he must enforce that law. Inquiry at the mining bureau as to why none of the other inspectors was given a similar notice developed the fact that all of them were obeying the law. Whipped Until Blood Flowed. A mob of 40 men tied Michael Francisco to a telegraph pole near Corder, five miles east of Higginsville, and whipped him until the blood flowed to the ground. Francisco was almost unconscious when released and told to leave the community forever. The mob also took a woman implicated in the case to the edge of town and told her that it would not be advisable for her to return. Robbery at Gallatin Junction. The Wabash station agent and eight traveling men were held up by four armed robbers in the depot at Gallatin Junction and about $100 in cash and much jewelry taken. Enoch money was returned to the traveling men to enable them to proceed to the next town. The robbers then departed in a wagon that had been held in waiting. Thirteen Horses Burned to Death. The big barn of John P. Rodgers near Bellflower burned, and 13 head of horses, besides other stock, were burned to death. Dr. Howard, of St. Louis, who was staying all night at Mr. Rodgers, lost his team and buggy and all his surgical instruments, valued at $500. Butler Man's Fall. Cleveland Stotts, 20 years old, fell from the top of the Cannon-Welner elevator to the ground, 85 feet. He did not lose consciousness, although many bones in his body were broken. Held Up Station Agent. The Frisco station agent, J. C. Whittaker, at Valley Park, was held up at night by two robbers who secured $22 cash. Whittaker's valuables and some railroad transportation.

Morrison as the first president. The faculty, senior class and many of the visiting representatives of the various universities and colleges were clad in academic caps and hoods and gowns. The celebration began in the forenoon, with a procession of faculty, alumni and students to Stone chapel. Dean Edward M. Shephard, marshal of the day, presided. Rev. Charles M. Newman, pastor of the First Congregational church of Washington, D. C., delivered the principal address. Talks were also made by Rev. Charles S. Mills and Rev. William Jones, both of St. Louis. Building Coliseum in St. Louis. The fund of $175,000 needed to build the new coliseum at St. Louis is already in sight. The special coliseum committee of the Business Men's league has announced that a large part of the subscriptions are already in hand and that raising the balance is expected to be a matter of only a little time. The committee figures that there are 22,000 business houses in St. Louis which will profit by the building of the coliseum and the bringing of conventions to St. Louis. Each of these firms is to be given an opportunity to contribute. Insurance Superintendent Enjoined. Judge Elmer B. Adams, in the United States circuit court, granted a temporary order restraining Insurance Commissioner W. D. Vandiver from carrying into effect his order revoking the license of the New York Life Insurance company to do business in Missouri.

AT Thuner's ITS GOOD. 9122-24-26 South Broadway TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, and the President Talk Insurance. The Senator Will Introduce a Bill Providing for Federal Supervision of Life Insurance. Washington, Nev. 16.—Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, who is president of one of the largest life insurance companies in the country, had a talk with the president on the subject of insurance, which the president will discuss freely in his forthcoming message to congress. Senator Dryden will introduce at the approaching session a bill providing for federal supervision of life insurance. It will differ in some respects from the measure Mr. Dryden introduced in the last congress, but the principle will be the same. He indicated, in response to inquiries, that the supreme court never had passed upon the constitutionality of a federal law regulating insurance, although it had held, in the consideration of cases involving purely state laws, that interstate insurance was not interstate commerce. "It is a fact," said Senator Dryden, "that eminent lawyers of the country differ as to the constitutionality of a law providing for federal supervision of life insurance. That difference, probably, will have to be resolved by the supreme court." FOUND DEAD IN THEIR FLAT Minnie Mitchell and Aline Bowers, Cousins, Evidently the Victims of Polson in St. Louis. St. Louis, Nov. 17.—Miss Minnie Mitchell, aged 23, and Miss Allie Bowers, her cousin, aged 22, formerly of Moberly, Mo., who came to St. Louis during the World's fair and kept lodgers, were found dead in their flat in the western part of the city by Robert Cook, a Frisco express messenger, who lodged there and who had just come in from his run. Unable to get any answer to his ring at the bell he went round to the rear and forced an entrance, and found the two women lying on the floor of the kitchen. Without waiting eo examine them, Cook called a physician, who declared them both dead, Miss Mitchell having been dead about two hours and Miss Bowers three. The women had evidently just finished washing their luncheon dishes when overcome, as the freshly wiped dishes were on the table and each had a towel in her hand. It is thought that perhaps they were the victims of ptomaine poisoning, but an investigation may bring out the real cause. CROWN LAND FOR PEASANTS An Imperial Manifesto Granting Land Concessions to Russian Peasants Issued. London, Nov. 17, 17. 6 a. m.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg to Reuter's Telegram Co. says that an imperial manifesto granting land concessions to the peasants was issued this morning. By its terms the land redemption tax payments from January 14, 1906, will be reduced by one-half, and from January 14, 1907, the payments will be totally abolished. At the same time the capital of the Peasants' bank is increased and the bank receives additional loan privileges, with the object of facilitating the utmost purchase of lands by peasants. It is estimated that the amount of taxation thus lifted from the peasants by the manifesto will aggregate $40,-000,000, while the extension of the field of operation of the Peasants' bank will enable vast tracts of crown and private lands gradually to become the property of the peasants. FIREMAN KILLED. TWO HURT Philip Conway, a Fire Engine Driver, Killed by His Machine When the Horses Bolted. St. Louis, Nov. 17.—Philip Conway, driver of the engine of Company No. 23 met death by being run over by his machine when the horses became unmanageable, and in a wild plunge over a hole in the street dashed him to the ground. Firemen James Ward and Michael Waters were caught by the collapse of a burning ceiling at No. 112 South Tenth street. Both were scorched and lacerated and were saved only by the heroic efforts of their comrades. MUST SERVE HIS SENTENCE Harry Bunkers, a California State Senator, Convicted of Bribery, Denied a New Trial. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 17.--Harry Bunkers, the former San Francisco senator, convicted last April of bribery and sentenced to five years' imprisonment at San Quentin, must serve the sentence imposed, according to a decision handed down by the appellate court, denying the convicted exlegislator's appeal for a new trial. Negro Fatally Injures Intruder. Texarkana, Ark., Nov. 17.—An aged and unknown white man, having only one leg, attempted to enter the home of Henry Dean, colored, by crawling through a window. Dean was aroused by the noise, and struck him twice on the head with a smoothing iron, inflicting fatal wounds. Young Men Shoots Girl. Mobile, Ala., Nov. 17—Thomas Peadon a young man, shot and killed Miss Alberta Brown, at rand Bay, because the refused to give him a lock of hair. FOR SUNDAY READING PSALM C. O ye lands now to Jehovah Make ye all a joyful noise; Gladly serve Him, and before Him Come with singing and rejoice. Know the Lord is God, He only; He hath made us, His we are; We the flock of His own pasture, We the people of His care. With your thanks His gates now enter, In His courts His praise proclaim: Unto Him O be ye thankful, And forever bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy Is to everlasting sure; And to endless generations Shall His faithfulness endure. -Rev. Edward A. Collier, in N. Y. Ob- server. BLOOMLESS. The Lesson of the Rosebush—Let It Be a Warning to Bloomless and Fruitless Lives. "It has served me right," said the rose bush, as it lay in a heap of rub bish, where it had been thrown because of its long failure to put forth any roses. "It seems like a hard fate to one who has been as delicately nourished as I to be cast aside where I must die without hope of even another opportunity. And yet I cannot complain. For years my master has cared for me. He gave me the best of attention. He studied my nature, my character, my needs, and what he saw would be good for me he gave; and yet in all these years I gave him not one blossom for his thoughtfulness and care. Several times I gave him to understand that I would reward him when I put forth the tiniest pink bud, and I remember how he looked at it and said, 'there will be roses by the garden path this year.' But I always disappointed his expectation. The bud never came to the bloom. And then I have been a disappointment to the great world that nourished me. I have sent my roots into the earth and have drawn freely from it. I have spread forth my leaves and have revealed in the luxury of sunbeams. I have held up my arms to the clouds and have not wanted of the rains from heaven. And yet I have given no expression of my gratitude for it all. I have given to the air, which has fanned me, no fragrance; to the clouds which gave me abundance to drink of the wine of heaven, no incense; to the luxuriant earth which has fed me no return, except the dead leaves of the autumn which the gardener burned; and to the gardener himself I have not given the poor satisfaction, which he craved, of a single smile. I have been both unprofitable and ungrateful. It has served me right. It is a hard fate to die without hope of another opportunity, but I cannot complain. It is the fate of those who promise and never fulfill, of those upon whom great blessings have been conferred and have misimproved them, who have been endowed with fine talents yet have been a disappointment to God and man." And as I heard the pitiful confession, I said: "If your life has been wasted, your death-bed confession may prove a blessing; for, in the hope that it may be a warning to men who are wasting their lives, I shall publish it to the world." And when again I passed by the rose bush was withered and dead, but there seemed to be about it the peace of one who has accomplished more good by his death than by his life—United Presbyterian. SWORD THRUSTS. A true soul does not worry about an arena. The joy of service is the secret of joy.—Ram's Horn. It takes more than curiosity to make a good neighbor.—Ram's Horn. I cannot sweep the darkness out, but I can shine it out.—John Newton. Opportunity, sooner or later, comes to all who work and wish.—Lord Stanley. He need never despair who faces difficulty under Divine direction.—Ram's Horn. You cannot find the blessing of the upper room on the first floor.—United Presbyterian. To him who gathers up the fragments the whole loaf of opportunity is finally given.—Z. H. In the Bible there is more that finds me than I have experienced in all other books put together.—Coleridge. It is a good thing to strike when the iron is hot, but it is a better thing to make the iron hot by striking.—Oliver Cromwell. Christians should resemble fireflies not glowworms; their brightness drawing eyes upward, not downward.—Christina Rossetti. A tender heart and a sympathetic voice are more to be desired in the chamber of sickness than precious pintment.—United Pres. Teterian. We do not observe that the soul's victories are gained on trifles, and that the great field days rest on innumerable and obscure skirmishes.—Robert F. Horton. The Scriptures. The Scriptures are not a quarry where men may dig with unsanctified hands or blast away the strata with scholarly guesses. He who assails the Word of God will grow morally weaker with every stroke of the pick; but he upon whom this stone shall fall shall be ground to pieces. It is an unfortunate quarry for the monoclast. -United Presbyterian. See Our New Adventisers. We take pleasure in presenting a few new ads.: The ad. off the Lincoln Chemical Works, on fourth page.

In case you do not receive any number when due, inform us by postal card, and we will cheerfully forward a duplicate of the missing number. We speak of no particular one, yet some of these same girls are continuing in the company of the Dirty Dozen. Their mothers think that they are going on some business, but if the mother would look a leetle out, she would see. Last week we spoke of some of the yellow girls that want to play white. Since then a number of them have squealed like pigs. Why? Because they were guilty. One girl, who is now teaching school, said: "The matter is too low to speak of." We wish to say to her: "Keep your mouth closed, or you will be too low, if the Palladium man speaks. Men and women, boys and girls, ought not to have such big ideas when they are too proud to earn an honest dollar, for you can not get one by standing in the corner drug store or calling the Dirty Dozen from pool rooms, we all see. If you can not talk to some body who will do for you and yours, then keep company with such cattle. Since we spoke out about this double dealing of white balls, we have had a great burden lifted from our shoulders. Oh, ain't that nice. We do not invite a fight, nor do we like to enter into the same, but as yet, in twenty-one years, we have never lost one. We may be too sensitive, but we always read between the lines, and from a slur thrown out we will ask for an explanation. If none comes, they may expect our views on the matter. We have been in St. Louis since the 17th of July, 1857. So you see we ought to know if we don't. Tairt-eight years is five years longer than the present Negro now lives and is useful.

He is a very charming speaker, and he gets there every time. Rev. Granger, the pastor of Second Baptist church, of Kirkwood, preached a splendid sermon to the Missionary Circle of said church Sunday, the 12th.

A mass-meeting of Colored citizens was held at Odd Fellows' hall, 2725 Franklin avenue, Sunday afternoon, and the "Afro-American Club of St. Louis" was organized. The club is a political organization, and has for its object the political advancement of the Negroes of St. Louis. For some time the thinking Colored men in all parts of the country have been watching the tendency to eliminate the Negro from politics, and all are agreed that the time has come when the Negro must take care of his own interest. This organization is the outgrowth of this feeling. Its aim is to reach every Colored voter of St. Louis enlighten him upon the various political questions and secure the co-operation of each in demanding fair treatment and honest government. Geo. Bouldrew was chosen president; G. L. Vaughn, secretary; H. H. Jones, treasurer. A city committee has been appointed, consisting of one member from each ward, and it will proceed to organize the entire city at once. The regular meeting of the club will be held the second Saturday evening of each month. A meeting has been called by the president for Saturday evening, November 18, to which all Colored voters are cordially invited. GEO. L. VAUGHN, W. M. MOORE, D. W. HOLLAND, Committee. Webster Grove.

NOT MARRIED AND OUT FOR A GOOD TIME. At Rest With Her Maker. After the labors of 82 years, Mrs. Rachel Hardy is at rest with her Maker in Heaven. After the warfare of 82 years of pleasure, joy and sorrow, she passed into the great beyond, with the words of Paul, I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith, I am now ready to receive my reward. Saturday, Nov. 4 she fell asleep in the arm of slumber, of what we call death. The funeral service took place at St. Paul church last Wednesday. Rev. W. D. Cook preached one of the most touching logical and spiritual sermons that we have ever heard. He was assisted by Rev. Dr. Jones, Baptist; Rev. S. P. Anderson, Baptist; Rev. W. B. Stewart, Methodist; Rev. Henry Morman, Methodist, and others. All spoke in evidence of her long Christian life and good work. She leaves a sister, one daughter, Mrs. Sandy Mix, of 1108 Morgan street, and a grand son. The pallbearers were: C. H. Wheeler, C. H. Tandy, G. D. Green, John Payne, Robert Boatwright and Alexander Garraway. She was buried in St. Peter's cemetery, in the family lot. We deeply sympathize with the daughter and all relatives in this sad moment of the loss of a mother, the dearest friend we have on earth. TO THE READERS OF THIS PAPER.

Firemen arrived on the scene a few minutes later, and saved the house from being destroyed. The children were removed to the city hospital for treatment, where little Marian died several hours later. Their parents were away from home when the accident happened. From Globe-Democrat. Detective Charged With Grafting.

NEHEMIAH'S PRAYER NEHEMIAH'S PRAYER Sunday School Lesson for Nov.19,1905 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—Nheemiah 1:1-11. Memory verses 8, 9. GOLDEN TEXT.—"The effectual servant prepares a righteous man availeth much."—James 1:6. PLACE.—Susa, or Shushan, the chief of the three capitals of Persian empire, 250 miles east of Babylon. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES—Study the prayers of Abraham (Gen. 18:22-30) 18:22-30 with 35. 22:24-33) Moses (Ex. 11:14) 30:55-33:12 32. Solomon (1 Kings 8:12-61) 2 Chron 6:1-42) Elijah (1 Kings 18:36-38) 19:4-18) Hezekiah (Isa. 37:14-20) 38:1-3). Daniel (Dan. 9:3-27). Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. "The words of Nehemiah." Rather, the record of Nehemiah. This superscription to this portion of Ezra-Nehemiah was necessary to make plain that what immediately follows is from the private diary of Nehemiah. "Chisleu:" The month corresponding with our December. "Twentieth year:" The twentieth year of the reign of Artaxerxes. V. 2. "One of my brethren:" Hanani, an actual brother, whom he afterward appointed to position in Jerusalem (Neh. 7:2). "Men of Judah:" Ver. Ver. "Men out of Judah:" that is, recently come from Judah and Jerusalem. "That . . . were left of the captivity:" That is, Jews who had been left in their native land when others were carried into captivity. V. 3. "In the province:" In Judea at this time, a province of the Persian empire. "Great affliction and re proach:" They were in a pitiful condition, and subject to the scorn of their neighbors. "Wall . . . broken down:" Nebuchadnezzar had leveled the walls when he burned the city 144 years before. However, it is likely these men referred to a recent burning of walls which the returned exiles were striving to rebuild (Ezra 4:12) V. 4. "When I heard:" This recita brought the condition of the city vividly before him. "Wept, mourned fasted, prayed:" After the oriental fashion, Nehemiah gave free expression to his grief. But it led to prayer to the God who hears and answers The most ancient part of Jerusalem's wall still standing is, to this very day a walling place where Jewish patriot lament the desolation of their loved city. "Certain days:" Four months "Fasted:" Abstinence from luxury is probably meant in this instance. V. 5. "I beseech thee:." This prayer is found to consist of adoration, confession, pleading promises and petition. It is offered in reverence and humility, and with strong faith. "O Lord," etc.: Note the titles of God which Nehemiah uses, and how he bases his plea upon the character and nature of God. "Great and terrible:" God is great enough to supply all our need. He is terrible to all that is evil. "Keepephe covenant:" Fulfills the gracious promises He has made as Jehovah to His chosen people. V. 6. "Mayest hear:." Better, "hearken unto." As his prayer was continuous, he would have God's hearkening continuous. "Day and night:." Nehemiah was persistent in prayer. "We have sinned:." The sins of his race weigh upon him as his own. V. 7. "Corruptly:" Wickedly "Against thee:" True repentance sorrows for sin, not because of its consequences, but because it is against God "Commandments, statutes, judgments:" An inclusive phrase, viewing God's law from every point. Vs. 8, 9. The spirit of many threat enings and promises is summed up in these verses (Lev. 26:33-45; Deut. 4:25-31; 30:15). "Turn, keep do:" The verbs, keep, do, explain how to return—that is, by keeping His will in our hearts and doing it in our lives. V. 10. "Thou hast redeemed:" This refers specially to God's redemption of His people from Egypt. V. 11. "The prayer of Thy servant:" The use of this term may be taken as indication that Nehemiah stood ready to be used in bringing answer to his prayer if God had need of him. "Thy servants:" All godly Jews were praying to the same intent. "Desire:" Better in Revised Version, "delight fear Thy name." "Prosper Thy servant:" Nehemiah seems to have formed the purpose to ask of the king leave of absence from court, and permission to go to Jerusalem and rebuild its walls. This would seem unheard of presumption on the part of a dependant. But recognizing that "the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord," he prays God to prosper his undertaking. "This man:" The king, who has not yet been named in the book of Nehemiah. "I was the king's cup bearer:" The duty of a cupbearer was to fill the royal wine cup, and, supporting it gracefully on three fingers, to hand it daintily to the royal master. Practical Points. V. 3.

PAINFUL PERIODS Miss Nellie Holmes Mrs Tillie Hart While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstruation is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes painful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes of 540 N. Davision Street, Buffalo, N.Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for woman. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pain, but I never failed to get any relief. A friend from the East advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as I did before. My periods were always worse, and my general health is much improved, advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Resorting to the Higher Methods. The pickpocket had been caught in the act and arrested. "What is the meaning of this?" he exclaimed, pale with indignation, and strugging violently. "Gentlemen, this is an outrage! I can explain it all! You have no right to meddle in my business affairs! Besides, I can prove an alibil!" But he was too insignificant an operator. He was hurried off to the lockup.—Chicago Tribune. Running Account. "The cashier has skipped out and his books are in an awful muddle," announced the bookkeeper. "What shall we do?" "Open a running account with him at once," said the president, promptly.—Cleveland Leader. NOT A TRACE LEFT NOT A TRACE LEFT Rheumatism Thoroughly Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. There is one remedy that will cure rheumatism in any of its forms and so thoroughly eradicate the disease from the system that the cure is permanent. This remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the proof of the statement is found in the experience of Mr. T. S. Wagar, of No. 72 Academy street, Watertown, N.Y. He says: "The pain was in my joints and my sufferings for over two years was beyond description. There was an intense pain in my shoulders that prevented me from sleeping and I would get up and walk the floor at night. When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the improvement was gradual, but by the time I had taken four boxes I was entirely cured and I have not had the slightest touch of rheumatism since that time." Mr.Wagar's wife is also enthusiastic in her endorsement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She says: "I have tried the pills myself for stomach trouble and have experienced great relief from their use. My daughter, Mrs. Atwood, of Gill street, Watertown, has used them for female weakness and was much benefited by them. I regard Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People as an extremely valuable family medicine." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured the worst cases of bloodlessness, indigestion, influenza, headaches, backaches, lumbago, scitation, neuralgia, nervousness, spinal weakness, and the special ailments of girls and women whose blood supply becomes weak, scanty or irregular. The genuine Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or any harmful drugs and cannot injure the most delicate system. At all drug-gists or from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $3.50. THE BEST COUGH CURE Cough syrups are all cheap enough, but if you should get a gallon of cough syrup that does not cure for the price of a small bottle of Kemp's Balsam the best cough cure, you would have made a bad bargain—for one small bottle of Kemp's Balsam may stop the worst cough and save a life, whereas the cough "cure" that does not cure is worse than useless. Mrs.Tillie Hart Vegetable Compound sooner; for I have tried so many remedies without help. "I dreaded the approach of my menstrual period every month, as it meant so much pain and suffering for me, but after I had used the Compound two months I became regular and natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain at my monthly periods. I am very grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me." Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating, (or flattening), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Don't hesitate to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about your sickness you do not understand. She will treat you with kindness and her advice is free. No woman ever regretted writing her and she has helped thousands. Address Lynn, Mass.

Full Directions About Making the Home and the Furniture to Put Therein, Christmas will soon be here, and } will tell the little girls how to make a doll’s house out of cardboard boxes and not cost a cent, so that they can save their pennies for something else, writes a lady in the Boston Globe. First get a large paper box and cover. Then all the little odds and ends of pretty paper, silk, cloth of all kinds, lace, bits of ribbon and cardboard, spools of all sizes (try for some very small ones). Next get a paper box, large or small, cut in the bot- tom of the box and sides windows and doors, at the windows take lace or some pretty thin muslin and tack to box with thread in long stitches, stick over nar- row strip of gilt or silver paper, then loop the curtain back with pretty paper ribbon or yarn. On the door tack up any pretty thing for drapery, or crape paper will not be so heavy. Next stick with glue some small pictures on wall, and paper for a carpet or rugs stuck to floor. Now for the furniture: For table cut cardboard some pretty shape, large or small. Tack or stick to top of a spool, stick paper for tablecloth and wrap crape paper around it. Take cardboard and bend for chairs. After cutting out just bend sides down and stick thin pa- per where the board is bent, for it will not break. Shape back of sofa, bend for seat, take small spools cut in halves and tack for feet. to sofa, roll up stiff paper and cover with thin paper for arms of pillows. A roof garden can be on top of box. Take small spools for plant pots and get some fine green ‘or plants. ‘Take another box and have for cham- ber, cut board for bed, cut small spool in halves and tack on for feet of ted. Stick small flower headboard, A bright child can make a number of articles. See how neat you can make everything. For dolls, small paper dolls, with their dresses stuck on and some pins to make them sit. Better still, very small rag dolls. Make a small rag head, wind thread around neck, then make short arms out of just a small bit of cloth. Cut out calicd as you would paper. The skirts should be gathered and sewn on body. The dolls should be made all sizes and dressed in all colors, The skirt is what they stand on. A Dinah can be made of black cloth, mark face with red thread, dress in gay skirt and sew a turban on head, ‘Then pin baby in arms and one or two smal dolls to skirt.

Few mothers there are who do not know how difficult it is to keep the chil- dren’s napkins where they will protect dress and waist fronts to the best ad- vantage. The expedients of pinning around the neck or tucking napkins into collar bands when bib days are over are never satisfactory, the first causing an uncomfortable roll, and the latter in- Variably disarranging collars or ties. In the accompanying illustration a lit- tle holder is shown which will solve this problem to every mother’s delight, as- sures the American Agriculturist, ‘The holder is made of brown linen, 15 inches long and nearly two wide. ‘The edge is buttonholed with red floss, as also are the initials of the little one for whom it is intended. Sprays of holly with its glossy green leaves and scarlet berries furnish a pretty decoration. The ends are provided with small safety pins which are to be fastened to the napkin just in front of each shoulder, the hold- er forming a sort of collar around the back of the neck. The napkin is thus held smoothly across the chest at the point most needed. ‘These holders may be made of various materials, linen, wash ribbon or lawn (Seo NT THE COMPLETE HOLDER, being given preference in the order named. If the material is light ia weight they may be made double to give durability and firmness. The edges should be machine or brier stitched, hemstitched or buttonholed. In ease of rbibon being utilized the selvedge will be sufficient finish. Any simple decoration is appropriate. Colors which will please the child who is to wear it are always most desirable. Where initials are used if they are placed toward one end of the strip, as in the holder illustrated, when the meal is over the napkin may be folded and rolled with the opposite end of the hold- er, leaving the portion bearing the initials to wrap round the outside. There is then no likelihood of napkins turning up at the wrong plates. If pre- ferred, small clips or clasps may be substituted for the pins. These holders are made so simply that small needlewomer may safely at- tempt sets of them for Christmas, al- lowing one for each little tot who has not yet learned the grown-up’s way of using a napkin.

Next get a bit of fine white linen, some embroidery silks and a length of narrow ribbon. The stand, as shown in the figure, has a wreath of flowers worked around each side. The design 4s embroidered upon the plece of linen destined to be the face of the stand, There should be a duplicate piece of Mnen to cover the back, and each piece should be cut one inch larger all around than the boards. Streten over each board one layer of white cotton wadding, and over that the linen squares. Pull the linen tight and smooth and sew it fast in place by tak- ing long stitches from side to side on the under side of the board. Paste over the back of each under side a square of plain white linen, the edge of which you have turned. ‘Then sew to the top of each, one at either end and one in the center, two strips of bright-colored satin. Tie the opposite ribbons together in three pretty bows and make fast with astitch in the center of each, Three inches below the upper edge of each side sew fast a two-inch ribbon strap, which will keep the boards from parting.
