On Thanksgiving morning, at 11 o'clock, the Sumner high school football team will line up against the Central high school, Louisville, Ky. at Handlan's park, Grand and Laclede avenues. This is the third annual contest between the two high schools, and is arousing a great deal of interest throughout the city. The first game resulted in a tie, neither side being able to score. The second game was won by Louisville, 5 to 0, and the Sumner boys are making strenuous efforts to come out on top this time. The advance sale of tickets indicates that the attendance this year will be a record-breaker. Great preparations are being made at Sumner for the game, and the school will be represented by a band of three hundred rooters. A large delegation from Louisville will accompany the team, and the yellow and blue will probably have many supporters, though they will be buried in the forest of maroon and white of Sumner. Nicely furnished rooms for rent at 1513 Pine street. Mrs. Lulu Cheatham. CURL RL-I-CU A CURE FOR CURLS CURL-I-CURE masal When you meet a person your first impression is governed largely by his or her appearance. The same applies to you. Nothing adds to or detracts from a lady's or gentleman's appearance so much as the hair. Nothing imitates her style, good breeding, their taste, so much as the hair. We all know how much care is taken of the hair by all the reading society liaisons in all the large cities. We all know how much care is taken in his personal appearance.

Beck, a republican election judge, before Judge Reynolds, found him guilty and sentenced him to pay a fine of $100 and six months in jail. The jury was out two hours and twenty minutes. In finding Wilson guilty of assault only, it makes him eligible for reinstatement, whereas if he had been found guilty of assault with intent to kill it would have ended his career as an officer.

SCULLIN & GALLAHER The Employees of the Above named Firm at Stolle's Hall. Last Monday night at Stolle's hall an entertainment was given by the steel works, better known as the Scullin & Gallager firm. This entertainment was beyond a doubt pronounced a grand success by all who attended. The Palladium staff did not arrive until a late hour, and even then the hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. We noticed quite a number of important incidents and scenes, among the latter being the ladies of high flavor, who seemingly led the ball and were the center of attraction. Mr. Jas. Dawson, of 2645 Pine street, seemed to be enjoying himself to the full extent of any man that could under the circumstances. He was in company with three ladies, the names of whom he implored us not to mention. He is still on top and we would like to know what Mrs. Grace Mulligan, of Pine street, thinks of this. We also noticed Miss Pentie Benton, of 2605 Morgan street, and Mrs. Rosa Owens, her married sister, who was with her. They enjoyed themselves profusely. Miss Benton will soon leave the city for the east. Mrs. Harris and daughter, of 2621 Papin street, were out. She says she came as an escort for her daughter. We believe otherwise and she likes to dance. Prof. Lucky was there and said that December 28 will be the anniversary of the 25th year of the dancing school in St. Louis. For further particulars, see the Palladium. Mr. W. Miller, of 1406 Morgan street, and Miss Ella Ella Webb, of 3423 Morgan street, will be married soon. They tried to keep it from the Palladium, but we were the wiser of the pair. Mrs. Strirger, of Rock Springs, was there selling tickets for some institution, and became angry because the Palladium man would not buy one. Had she been one of our many subscribers our blood might have flown. As we took our seat we were struck with astonishment to behold Mr. Chas. Banks, who formerly roomed at 2617 Lawton avenue, and whose trunk is now held for $7.50 room rent, and $2 storage, making a total of $9.50. I gave him my orders but he never returned. Mr. J. S. Hill, of Nashville, Tenn., and Mr. Geo. Gamby, of St. Louis, were there having a fine time. A portion of the World's Fair band was furnishing music for the occasion, and as they started to play "Rufus Rastas Johnson Brown" we took our departure. Masonic Temple. Last Monday night it was some time before we could gain admittance. At last we were in, but it is best not to say anything. Those persons who conducted the affair thought they could lead the people that way. WE SAW A FEW. Col. John C. McCord, of 1223 Spruce street, was all smiles and the old boy is all O. K. The stinger lady, of 1818 North avenue, was there, also her loving daughter. We looked and wondered, but we had to leave. Mrs. M. Jackson, of 2633 was a dream. Prof. J.

The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, an organization of Colored people, adopted resolutions at a meeting held in their hall, Jefferson and Lucas avenues, upon the death of Dr. Emil Preetorius. The resolutions state that he was always a friend to the Negro race. The committee was composed of C. H. Tandy, chairman; J. W. Wheeler, C. H. Wheeler, William Smith, L. W. Vinegar. Resolutions on the death of Dr. Emil Preetorius: Resolved, That the Colored citizens of this city and state and United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten have lost one of their best friends. During the war between the north and south Dr. Preetorius stood firm against American slavery and for emancipation of the Negro in this country. In the editorial rooms of the German paper, the Westliche-Post, with Gen. Lyons and Frank P. Blair, German troops for the Union were organized. He joined the state militia, and helped to capture Camp Jackson. He was among the first of his race to espouse the cause of the Negro. In ante-bellum days, when it cost a man something to stand for freedom against slavery in this country, he stood impregnable—like the rock of Gibraltar in the sea, with the waves dashing against it; like the sturdy oak in the forest, with sweeping avalanche against it—a kind—a kind-hearted and true friend, a champion of universal rights for all men in his German home and since he became a citizen of the United States. We extend to his beaved family our heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement at the loss of husband and father, and commend them to an all-wise God. His death was like the rose—when dying, smells sweetest; the river rooiling on nears the ocean smoothest; like the sun, when sinking, shines prettiest. Peace be to his ashes; rest to his soul. J. W. WHEELER, C. H. WHEELER, WM. H. SMITH, T. W. VINEGAR, Sec. C. H. Tandy, Chairman, Smith Lodge Committee FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Miss Myme Merrell and Rev. J. H. May lunched with Dr. and Mrs. Cole last Tuesday evening. We are sorry to report the continued illness of Dr. Cole. He has been indisposed for the past month, and confined to his room for the last few days. Mrs. E. E. Whitfield, field missionary for the Woman's National Baptist convention, gave quite an interesting talk last Sunday morning on home missions. Everybody was so enthused over her talk that they gave her $13.80 in an after collection. The Pleasant Workers' club met in their regular Sunday meeting last Sunday. On account of sickness, the president, Mrs. Carrie Miller, was absent, and the vice-president, Mr. C. A. Bollinger, presided. They arranged to serve luncheon on December 7 in the chapel of the church. The Japanese-Russian contest rally last Thursday evening was a grand success. The Japs whipped the Russians once, but this time they had to take to the woods. The Japs were represented by the Calvin' and Ruth clubs, while Russia was represented by the famous Pleasant Workers and Carnation clubs. The Japs had to surrender this time. We wish to thank our many friends who helped us in this effort. Changed Hands. Mrs. Fannie Young has bought out R. L.

The president of the club will make a few brief remarks on "The Woman's Wonderful Determined Stride of Will W. C. GORDON'S NEW ESTABLISHMENT. An establishment most worthy of praise and one that is a credit to the proprietor, is the undertaking establishment of W. C. Gordon, now located at 2651 Morgan street, but formerly of 2218 Morgan street. Although we have had cause to praise Mr. Gordon in the past, we have still a greater one now, as we pass from room to room, and look with astonishment at the wonderful sights which meet our gaze. He has been located at his present place of business five weeks last Wednesday, and during this short time about three thousand people have visited the building and feasted for a time upon the grandeur of the place. Again your visit is made enjoyable by the friendliness and courtesy shown you by your escort on your tour through this palace. The entire building is composed of 23 rooms, namely: Trimming room, morgue, receiving room, chapel, display parlors, carriage room, both a private and public office, and various other rooms. On entering the building you are first shown the private office of Mr. Gordon, which has every possible convenience that an office could require. In the rear of the offices is the stable and carriage room. Ordinarily to hear the words stable and carriage room, they would have little or no meaning to us, but after visiting the said rooms of this establishment it is evident even to the casual observer that they carry with them their meaning, to the lover of beautiful conveyances and fine horses. The morgue, too, has its points of interest, one of which is the operating table, one of the most interesting of its kind. It can be lowered or raised to suit the convenience of the party working. The next room in routine is the trimming room. The name itself is suggestive to its use. This room leads into the receiving room, where the corpse is taken preparatory to going into the chapel. The chapel is a large room, which is noted for its seating capacity, and the beauty of its walls. It seats about 200 persons comfortably. The walls are Power in the Works of Christianity,' and the second will be, "Christianity on the Run," and the third will be the "Wonderful Individuality Moving Power of Ages." Tickets on sale at People's Drug Store, Jefferson and Morgan, Harris & Mosby's, 800 North Jefferson avenue, and Madame Jones', 2806 Laclede avenue. of a beautiful green color with a pink border, which adds to its beauty. The display parlors are perhaps the most interesting, for here we see the different styles of caskets, for young and old, ranging in prices from $190 to $500. These rooms of which I have spoken with the exception of the offices and carriage room are found in the remodeled part of the building. This does not, however, include all the rooms, for let us remember that the living must be provided for as well as the dead. The second floor of the new portion of the building is furnished and fitted up with all conveniences. Here we find the parlor, dining room, kitchen, sleeping apartments and bath, all of which, I could write of for hours, but should I give vent to this feeling, it would not be so interesting when you make your tour, and see for yourself as others have done. The Pallidium assures you that you will be treated royally, and it will be a visit that you will never regret. This is only a very brief description of the building. A Whist Party. On Monday evening, November 20, Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Knight, of 2018 Chestnut street, gave a whist party and entertained the following persons. Mr. and Mrs. Roberson, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. Larrey, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, and Mr. and Mrs. Streets. Misses Walker, Franklin Jackson and Dickson. Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Eastwood and Messrs. Brown, Harris, Jones, Ford, Tutt, and Larrey. The whist game was quite interesting, the score being 7 points. Among the best players were: Mr. Jones and Mrs. Larrey, Mr. and Mrs. Roberson, Mr. Tutt and Miss Franklin. Mr. Jones and Mrs. Larrey proved the champions, but Mr. and Mrs. Roberson gave them a hard chase. The score was 6 to 6, but Mr. Jones and Mrs. Larrey came out ahead. While Mr. Tutt and Miss Franklin played Mr. Jones and Mrs. Larrey a very hard game, they were not lucky enough to carry off the honors.

Branch, Jr. Died as the Result of Injuries Received In a Fist Fight With Meriwether. Annapolis, Md., Nov. 23.—Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr., of Lafayette, La., a member of the third class of the naval academy, was put on trial here before a naval court-martial on charges that include that of manslaughter in having caused the death of Midshipman James H. Branch, Jr., of New York, a member of the class above his, as a result of a prearranged fist fight which took place on the evening of Sunday, November 5 last. A Charge of Manslaughter. The first and gravest charge is manslaughter, in having caused the death of Midshipman Branch, but there are two other charges, the second supported by two specifications and the third by one. The second charge is of violation of the third clause of the eighth article of the rules for the government of the navy. The first specification is that Meriwether applied to Branch the names of sneak and coward, and the second that he assaulted him. The third charge, of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline, specifies that Meriwether engaged in a fight with Branch. Wide Interest In the Case. The sad incident of the death of young Branch under such circumstances has been widely noticed, and has called attention to the existence at the naval academy of an unwritten code governing the student body, but quite outside the authoritative regulations, and generally in violation of them. Under the "code," every detail of these fights is fixed, the midshipmen on duty abstaining from reporting them and excusing from formation those connected with them. These facts were very clearly brought out both by the judge advocate and in the cross examination by Lieutenant-Commander Robinson, for the defense. The witnesses included Branch's doommate, the referee and timekeeper of the contest, and all the four seconds were examined in a greater or less degree about all the circumstances of the fight, the connection of the "code" and their ideas of their duty under the regulations, although this subject was not pressed to such a degree that the midshipman was put on his defense as to the binding force of his oath upon entering the institution to obey all its regulations. The "code" system was therefore not directly put on trial, although it was very thoroughly ventilated along some lines. In fairness to the midshipmen, it should be said that every one of them gave indication of endeavoring to be perfectly frank, and of either believing that there was nothing about the system that they need conceal, or if there were, that they would tell it all not-withstanding. Midshipman A. W. Fitch, who refereed the fight, which was followed by Branch's death, stated that he had officiated in 19 such contests, and Midshipman McKittrick testified that he had taken part in nine. Detailed accounts were given of the arrangements by which midshipmen on duty acquiesced in absences without leave or other derelictions in order that the fight might go on; but the testimony also showed that although severe injuries resulted from these fights, and the recipients often had to be taken to the hospital, nothing further was ever heard of them. This the defense brought out on cross-examination, it being evidently intended to show that the authorities also winked at the code and the prearranged fights under it. PROBABLY FATALLY SHOT Marshall Field, Jr., Shot Accidentally While Cleaning a Gun and Is Expected to Die. Chicago, Nov. 23.—While cleaning a gun preparatory to going on a hunting expedition, Marshall Field, Jr., son of Marshall Field, the well-known dry goods merchant of this city, accidentally shot himself. He was taken to a hospital and will probably die. According to Dr. A. D. Bevan, the bullet pierced the spleen and liver, but not the stomach, causing considerable hemorrhage. No one witnessed the accident. Dr. Bevan said that there was a chance for the patient's recovery, unless there were unexpected complications. REJECTED BY THE PORTE The Proposals of the Powers With Regard to Macedonian Reforms Rejected on All Points. Vienna, Nov. 23.—A dispatch from Constantinople says that the reply of the porte, which was handed Baron von Calice, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, rejects the proposals of the powers on all points, and declares that the public opinion of Turkey would not countenance their acceptance.

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.

We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ESTABLISHED 12 YEARS DO NOT equipment, sundry big free Sundry C Regular price $ To Introduce we will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only 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.

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 have been in St. Louis since the 17th of July, 1857. So you see we ought to know if we don't. Twenty-eight years is five years longer than the present Negro now lives and is useful.

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 neighbors 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. INTER'S Blasts May Bl ometer at 20 below.

THE VOICE OF THE HEAVENS. November, 1905. About ten minutes after the rising of the sun on the 28th ulto, will occur the new moon, and, consequently, the conjunction will take place near the eastern horizon and in the sign Scorpio. Just below the ascendant will be found the swift-winged Mercury in benign aspect to the fiery Mars in the third division. These positions are favorable for trade, and traffic and commerce will increase. On the railway there will be accidents and collisions of a fatal and disqueling nature. Towards the close of the month strikes will be threatened, many robberies from the post office, and the stock and share market will suffer. Health will reign supreme, and sickness and death during the month will be much below the average. When the full moon occurs on the 12th the beautiful planet Venus will grace the ascendant with her bright and silvery rays, and will bring to many minds the thought of the "Star in the East" which the wise men saw and followed. Placed as she is, denotes peace, joviality and merry-making in the land, and a contented and happy state of the people, for she is powerful in her own sign Libra and elevated above the malefics. The transits of the planets are similar to last month, except that Mars leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius, the ruling sign of Russia. This will give a great impetus to the revolutionary movement, and we shall hear of wholesale arrests and deportations to the frigid clime of Siberia, that land wherein so many of the best and foremost of Russia's sons sleep their last but happy sleep, after a life of torture and suffering.

The following articles in the proportions given will make a most delicious mince meat, one that will keep well in a cool place. Take four pounds of lean boiled beef, chopped very fine, eight pounds of green tart apples, one pound of very fine chopped suet, three pounds of raisins, seeded, two pounds of currants, picked over, washed and dried, one-half pound of citron cut up fine, one pound of brown sugar, one pint of cooking molasses, one quart of sweet cider, one tablespoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of mace, one-half teaspoonful of allspice, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-quarter grated nutmeg, one-quarter teaspoonful of cloves; mix thoroughly and heat on the stove slowly and boil half an hour. Remove from the fire and when nearly cold stir in one-half pint of good brandy. Put into a crock, stir it thoroughly, and set it in a cold place where it will not freeze, but where it will be kept perfectly cold. This mixture will keep good all winter. The above quantities can be increased to the total amount of mince meat desired at one time. F. C. B., J. M. T. AND F. L. T. The right thing done at last.

The faculty and students, by invitation, attended the Wednesday evening session, and listened with much pleasure to the address of the occasion on "The American Queen," by Mrs. N. K. Jones, of Kalamazoo, Mich., formerly of the faculty of Manhattan Agricultural college. The lecture was a rare treat. Mrs. Jones emphasized the value of domestic science, home-making or household economics as a part of the school curriculum, and, coming so soon in the lecture course after "The American Boy," it gave an opportunity to compare both sides of a great subject—the education of the boy and of the girl for the duties of life. The Lincoln Institute male quartet received a cordial invitation to sing before this association, and accepting, covered themselves and the institution with glory. On Friday morning several of the officers and leading spirits of the association visited the school and made addresses to the faculty and students assembled in the auditorium that were most encouraging in tone, conveying as they did the good will and wishes of the citizens of Missouri for Lincoln Institute, from the governor down the line. November 18, at Sportsman's park, in Kansas City, Lincoln Institute Tigers defeated the Kansas university team by a score of 11 to 0. The excellent playing of the Lincoln Institute boys, their knowledge of technicalities, their skill, etc., received hearty commendations on all sides, and reflected much credit upon their excellent coach. Prof. West. On the 25th the Tigers will play the team of George R. Smith college, in Boonville, and complete the season on Thanksgiving day by playing the Chicago Marcous in St. Louis. Dr. Allen, several members of the faculty and a number of the young lady students accompanied the team to Kansas City. The audience out to witness the game was composed of representative citizens of Missouri and Kansas. Automobiles, carriages, etc., were in evidence, all going to show that the Negro is rapidly adapting himself to the civilization of the Anglo-Saxon.

The apple-eating contest given by the D. L. Martin Juvenile No. 1, A. K. and D. of A., was quite a success. The programme rendered was very interesting, "Uncle Daniel's Apparition and Prayer" was a select reading by Miss Willie Kelly, following which was a piano solo by Miss Beatrice Randolph, "The Uplifting of Our Race" was an essay by Miss Mary L. Wilson. Mr. James Harris, the noted little violin player, rendered an enchanting solo. There were also many other recitations, and the apple-eating contest ended the programme. Larry Love was the winner in the contest, having eaten an apple in four minutes without touching it with his hands, while the others did not get a good hold. They cleared $25. It was moved and seconded in the meeting to bank $40, and keep the rest for emergency. A Living Wage. In answer to the query, "What is a living wage?" the Kansas City Labor Herald says: A living wage ought to be sufficient to secure for every ablebodied, right minded, sober and industrious workingman— Enough to keep not only himself, but LET'S GET ACQUAINTED. M. also a family, in a healthy state of mind and body. Enough to permit all his children to take advantage of the public school system. Enough to enable him to acquire a home of his own. Enough to permit him to accumulate a bank account sufficient to furnish some security against sickness and old age. Is there any one prepared to say any workingman, no matter how humble his work may be, ought to be content with less? Can we boast of our American freedom if we know that there are not only a few men, but millions of them, whose wages are so meager that it is an absolute impossibility for them to have a home or educate a family?

NOT MARRIED AND OUT FOR A GOOD TIME. ITE'S BAR. Thanksgiving Day First among powers, fit and free, We own no nation lord. First to gain glorious liberty By each home lover's sword. Let others pay for martial deed. Our citizens support our need. To simple men we give the meed, On this Thanksgiving Day. First among nations, land and sea. Pay tribute to our might. The tireless wheels of industry Cease neither day nor night. So have we treasured up our gold, So we the reins of commerce hold. From every heart let thanks be trolled On this Thanksgiving Day. First among peoples, while we stand Simple and true to right. Last among peoples, if our land Falls under Mammon's blight. For all the fruits of honesty, For all the joys of liberty, For individuals' majesty, We thank Thee, Lord, this day. Francis H. Wheeler. UT, Uncle John, I didn't have any Thanksgiving. And now it's all gone by. I feel dreadfully. If I live to be ever so old, I can't make up for this Thanksgiving." The little voice was very doleful, and the hot little hand that clung to his very small ant soft. The young man longed to comfort this small neighbor of his, who was dearer than the little nieces from whom she had caught this way of addressing him. Perhaps that was because her face against the pillow looked so much like that other face that was the loveliest in the world to him. But how could he be a comforter when he was in need of comfort himself." "It's too bad, Maisie, but you aren't the only one who has had hard times," he said. "I didn't have any Thanksgiving, either, and I don't feel as if I should ever have one again." Maisie's brown eyes opened wide. "Why, Uncle John; you went to the dinner. Mamma said so. And you A sad turkey and cranberries and ice cream and oranges. I would have gone, too, if I had not been sick. Mamma was going to stay at home with me, but Aunt Ruth said she wanted to, so mamma went. Wasn't that funny? I don't see how Aunt Ruth could have wanted to stay at home. I wanted to go, dreadfully. I pretty near cried." Open from 5 a. m. till 12 p. m. Don't Forget the Number. 4111 PAPIN ST. "So did I," said the young man, under his breath. Maisie went on: "You see, this was going to be such a lovely Thanksgiving, and I had planned about it so long. I haven't ever been invited to a big folks' Thanksgiving dinner before, and all the people I liked best were going to be there—you, and Aunt Ruth, and mamma, and papa, and the rest. And Mrs. Smith has such lovely dinners, everybody says. And I like turkey best of anything. It seems as if I just couldn't stand it. I had counted the days ever since there were a hundred, I guess. But, Uncle John, why didn't you have a Thanksgiving? Couldn't you eat any dinner? Did you have a stomach ache, too?" "No," said Uncle John; "I had a different kind of an ache." "What kind of an ache?" persisted Maisie. "A heart-ache," answered Uncle John. "My Thanksgiving wasn't there." Then hegrewashamed of his confidence. "It takes more than a dinner to make 'thanksgiving for grown people,'" he said, lightly. "Maise." called a soft voice from the hall. "It's Aunt Ruth," cried Maisie, starting up in delight.

If I live to be ever so old, I can't make up for this Thanksgiving." "DEAR GOVERNOR." Maisle's sofa, Aunt Ruth fled upstairs. "Isn't it funny?" mused Maisle. "Aunt Ruth used to just like to be where you were, and now she won't come at all. Every time she sees you, seems as if she ran away. I don't like it." "I don't like it, either," said the young man, in such a strange tone that Maisle looked at him curiously. "Well, I suppose I'd better go now what would you like to have me bring you the next time I come?" "Another Thanksgiving day. That's what I want most," said Maisle, with a wistful smile. "Uncle John," suddenly, "who makes Thanksgiving day?" "The governor, I suppose," answered Uncle John. "He issues a proclamation every year." "Oh, then," cried Maisie, "I know what I want you to do. Write to the governor and ask him to make another Thanksgiving day for you and me; won't you, Uncle Tom?" "I think it would be better for you to write it yourself," answered Uncle John, and he brought her pencil and paper and sat by her to help spell the words until the following bona fide letter was produced in very crooked printing: "Dear Governor: Please can we have another Thanksgiving day and have it next week. I was sick and could not eat any turkey or any things. I can't very big, but I like turkey. Please let us have it." "Your friend," "MAISIE Z——" Then he put the letter into an envelope, and showed Maisie how to direct it. "But, Uncle John, I forgot to say anything about you," said Maisie "Oh, well," answered Uncle John, hastily. "I wouldn't have you say anything about me on any account. That's our secret, Maisie. You will keep it, won't you, and not tell anybody." "Yes," answered Maisie. "I won't tell anybody." But alas! Uncle John should have been more careful in specifying what particular point should be kept a secret. Maisie thought only of the letter, and when Aunt Ruth came down as soon as the tall figure was well out of sight, she proceeded to keep the secret after the fashion of little girls. "Uncle John and I have a secret, Aunt Ruth," she said. Aunt Ruth flushed prettily. She always got red cheeks, somehow, when Uncle John's name was mentioned. But she held her head up proudly. "I don't want to know it," she said. "You mustn't tell secrets, Maisie." "Oh, no," answered Maisie. "I wouldn't tell a secret. It's about Thanksgiving. I didn't have any, you know, and Uncle John says he didn't have any, either." "Why not?" asked Aunt Ruth, with her cyes on the floor. "I don't know," said Maisie. "I asked him if he had a stomach-ache, and he said no, it was a heart ache." "Oh," said Aunt Ruth, softly. "You might have asked him if he didn't think other people had heart-aches. too. You might have asked him why--What else did he say, Maisie?" "Not much," answered Maisie, cunningly keeping her secret. "He said he didn't feel as if he ever would have a Thanksgiving again. He said he almost cried. Wasn't that funny for a big, grown-up man?" "Very funny," assented Aunt Ruth, and she must have meant it, for her tone sounded a great deal happier. Then she was perfectly lovely to Malisie for the rest of the afternoon. When papa came home from town a day or two later, he had a queer look on his face, and a very large and peculiarly shaped express bundle in his arms. "What in the world?" he said to Malisie's mamma, as he exhibited it to her, along with a large official letter stamped with the governor's seal and addressed to Malisie. And manna answered: "I can't imagine. I'm afraid to give it to her." Then Malisie, who had almost recovered, came running up. "D-e-s M-o-i-n-e-s," she spelled. "Why, mamma, that's where I sent my letter to the governor. This must be the answer." Sure enough, when the letter and package were opened they were found to contain the biggest turkey the little town had ever seen, and the following proclamation from the kind governor: "Having been informed that Maisie Z—— of L——, was ill on the 28th of November and was thereby prevented from joining in the festivities incident to Thanksgiving day, I, therefore, recommend that at a convenient hour on Monday, December 9, 1901, Mr. and Mrs. Z——, together with their family and such young friends as Maisie may choose to invite assembly the family to choose a meal with thankful hearts for country, home and the blessed influence of children, partake of such bounties as are usually served in Christian America on the day appointed for national thanksgiving, and that special attention shall be given that Maisie shall be bountiful supplied with that portion of the national bird and such other delicacies most congenial to her. "Signed at Des Molines, Ia, this 6th day of December, 1901." It was a most delightful Thanksgiving. Maisie and Uncle John both agreed on that point. For the turkey was delicious, and Maisie was deemed sufficiently well to have a bountiful supply, as the good governor had recommended; and Aunt Ruth was there in her prettiest dress, as smiling and gracious as though she had never held aloof. And Maisie chose the turkey's wishbone, and when it had cried for an hour or two, she brought it to Uncle John. "Wish with me, Uncle John," she said. Uncle John took hold of the O "I HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT, TOO." end and glanced at Aunt Ruth. She must have understood his look, for she came softly toward him, with cheeks as pink as her ribbons.

It is a sad but true fact that every year brings an increase in the number of operations performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow Miss Luella Adams It is a sad but true fact that every year brings an increase in the number of operations performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from operations made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhea, dizziness, flatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not heeded the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. The following letter should bring hope to suffering women. Miss Luella Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "About two years ago I was a great sufferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that I had a tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I felt that this was my death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately, the correspondent in the English England and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumors. I did so and immediately began to improve in health, and I was entirely cured, the tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation." Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excitability and nervous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating, shortness of breath, a feeling of utter weakness—these are symptoms that are familiar to most sufferers from stomach trouble. Too often the ordinary doctor's treatment serves but to weaken the diseased organs. The new tonic method of treating disorders of this kind does not aim to do the work of the stomach, does not demand that the food be pre-digested, but builds up the weakened organs, so that they can do the work that nature intended. Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 324 North street, Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while we were living on a farm in this neighborhood, I became generally debilitated as the result of overwork. I had serious indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered from a sense of suffocation and from obstruction of the circulation, so that artificial means had to be used to restore it. After suffering for months without finding any relief, I tried a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills of which I had read in a newspaper. The first few boxes made me lots better, and after using the third box I felt entirely well. "I am now in excellent health and am able not only to take care of my house but also to assist my husband in a store which he has lately taken. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I can recommend them. They are so simple, so easily taken and so prompt in their action." Remember Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. In this way they carry health and vigor to every organ and fiber of the body.

ODDITIES OF INVENTION. In Germany clocks have been run by wireless telegraphy. Portable wireless stations, so light that they can be carried by men, have also been devised by German inventors. A recent French invention which utilizes electroplating for the deposit of extremely thin coatings of precious metals is said to make possible the gold plating of lace, without stiffening the fabric. Silver is used in the same way. A machine has been invented for manufacturing cotton automobile tires. The tires are woven something like lampwicks, only they are heavier and of coarser texture. They are said to resist a pressure of 6,000 pounds to the square inch. Although not yet perfected, the Majorama telephone bids fair vastly to extend the field of usefulness of the long-distance telephone by rendering audible vibrations too faint to actuate the disk of the ordinary receiver or even the microphone instruments. An automatic fire alarm recently patented in England sounds an alarm in a hotel office 12 seconds after a fire starts in any of its rooms. The apparatus is simply an application of the fact that heat causes expansion, sufficient in this case to complete an electric circuit. Aluminum is being used in France to make alloys of brass for the construction of submarine boats. It has been found that the admixture of aluminum produces extraordinary changes in the color of the compound. A little aluminum makes it deep gold, and at a point where between five and ten per cent. of aluminum is used it becomes rosered. Over ten per cent. of the lighter metal makes the alloy white. PASSING OF PORRIDGE. Makes Way for the Better Food of a Better Day. "Porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home," writes a loyal Britain from Huntsville, Ont. This was an admission of no small significance to one "brought up" on the time-honored stand-by. "One month ago," she continues, "I bought a package of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an invalid for over a year. He had passed through a severe attack of pneumonia and la gripe combined, and was left in a very bad condition when they passed away. "I tried everything for his benefit, but nothing seemed to do him any good. Month followed month and he still remained as weak as ever. I was almost discouraged about him when I got the Grape-Nuts, but the result has compensated me for my anxiety. "In the one month that he has eaten Grape-Nuts he has gilled 15 pounds in weight, his strength is rapidly returning to him, and he feels like a new man. Now we all eat Grape-Nuts food, and are the better for it. Our little 5-year-old boy, who used to suffer from pains in the stomach after eating the old-fashioned porridge, has no more trouble since he began to use Grape-Nuts, and I have no more doctor's bills to pay for him. "We use Grape-Nuts with only sweet cream, and find it the most tasty dish in our bill of fare. "Last Monday I ate 4 teaspoontfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, nothing else, then set to work and got my morning's work done by 9 o'clock, and felt less tired, much stronger, than if I had made my breakfast on meat, potatoes, etc., as I used to. I wouldn't be without Grape-Nuts in the house for any money." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Welville," in pkg. LESSON TEXT.—I.

PLACE—Corinth, one of the most worldly and luxurious cities of the time. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 23. "All things are lawful." All things pertaining to the support of life, such as eating and drinking, and to its enjoyment in social intercourse and pleasure. The Christian is, or should be, the one free man in God's world. "Not all are expedient." A negative way of saying that some things that are lawful may yet be harmful to one's self or to another. "Edify not." Literally, "do not build up." The inference is plain: If some things are in themselves lawful, yet are found to tear down rather than build up character, the Christian must stop to consider what should be his attitude toward those things. V. 24. "No man." No person—man, woman or child. "Seek his own." Make it his own business to look after his own interests. "But every man," etc. Better in Revised Version, "but each his neighbor's good." We should be unselfish in thought, word and action. V. 25. "Whatsover is sold in the shambles." A shamble is a slaughterhouse, a place where animals are slain for food; the reference is to whatever meat has been slain thus, and is sold in the public market. Such meat, the apostle says, the Christian may freely buy and eat. "asking no question." He is not to fret himself or others by questioning how the animal was slain, what has become of other portions of it, or anything of the sort. If the meat appears to have been properly prepared so that it will be wholesome, that is all he needs to know. "For conscience' sake." You need have no conscientious scruples in the matter. V. 26. "For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." This sentence was often used by the Jews as a grace before meals. V. 27. The first question, concerning what food the Christian may buy in the market for his family, having been settled, the apostle now takes up the second, one needing a more complicated answer—"How can a Christian partake of food at the table of a pagan friend?" "That believe not." A pagan. "Bid you to a feast." Invite you to a feast at his house. Some had gone so far as to claim that Christians might feast in an idol-temple, but Paul had expostulated against this (10:14-21), showing it to be an actual participation in idolatry. V. 28. "But if any man say unto you," etc. if anyone, heathen host or guest, or Christian guest. There would be no Jew there, for Jews never ate with Gentiles. If anyone raised the question, then the matter was to be looked at in another light. "This...in sacrifice." If a portion of the animal has been offered to a heathen diet. "Eat not for his sake." His questioning about it showed that he had a feeling that one partaking of this meat was rendering homage to the idol to whom part of it had been dedicated; hence for his sake the Christian had best decline to eat of the meat. V. 29. "Conscience . . . not thine own:" Not because you have any conscientious scruples of your own about the meat. As the apostle has previously shown (8:4-6), an idol is nothing, and food or aught else can be neither improved nor impaired by any relation to it. "But of the other:" The conscience of the other man, who raised the question. To him you might do great harm if you allowed him to judge, from your eating this meat, that idols and idolatry were not so bad, after all. "Why is my liberty judged?" the Word judged has here the sense of condemned. The question is: Why has another any right to condemn what my conscience approves? The answer must be: He has no such right; judging and condemning one another is most christian; but v. 31 will lead to the conclusion of this thought. V. 30 repeats the question in slightly differerag form. V. 30. "By grace partaker:" Better, "If I partake with thankfulness:" The Christian recognizes every good gift as from his Heavenly Father, and at heart, if not audibly, returns thanks to Him for food and drink and all other daily benefits. V. 31. "To the glory of God:" Consider, How do the eating and drinking appear in His sight. Is all to His glory? It is a glorious as well as a solemnizing thought that the great God is glorified or dishonored by even the trivial acts of His children. V. 32. "Give none offense:" Do not willfully act so as to offend the conscience of any or cause him to stumble in his Christian course, but rather sacrifice personal preferences in order to avoid hurting any. V. 32. "I please all men in all things:" Paul states his personal decision of the questions that have been considered.—Chap. 9:20-22 Practical Points V. 23. The Christian is the one free man.—John 8:36. V. 23. A law which is higher than the Mosaic law of meats and drinks, rules the Christian Life.—Rom. 8:2. V. 26. Let us thankfully enjoy our Heavenly Father's good gifts.—1 Tim 1:4. V. 28. We can gladly foreign any personal preference or pleasure for the sake of helping another.—1 Cor. 8:13. V. 32. We must take heed lest by carelessness, if not by evil intent, we cast stumbling-blocks in the way of any—Rom. 14:13. RELIEF FOR CASTAWAYS. Supply Depots Are Established by New Zealand on Various Islands. The French bark Anjou was wrecked on one of the Auckland islands, 200 miles south of New Zealand, eight months ago. The crew lived for a week solely on the fish they caught, and the outlook was dark. Then one day two of the men found near the shore a depot of supplies, containing a variety of food and sufficient clothing to last the company for at least a year. Great was the joy of the castaway crew, for they were in sore straits when they discovered the benevolent provision that had been made for shipwrecked sailors. A few weeks later the castaways hailed a passing vessel, and in a few months they were home in France again. The New Zealand government had established this supply depot. It proved so serviceable to this party of unfortunates that the government has since placed similar depots on all the island groups south and southeast of New Zealand, and also on the Kermadecs to the northeast. The government wants it known that the supplies await any sailors that are cast away on these volcanic rocks. Six depots have been established. The islands are in the track of the prevailing westerly winds, and on or near the favorite route of sailing vessels traveling east from Australia to the Atlantic. None of them has been occupied by permanent residents, though they have occasionally been places of temporary sojourn for visitors, shipwrecked crews and whalers. Auckland and Campbell islands were occupied by French and German astronomical parties in 1874 to observe the transit of Venus. The Antipodes islands are almost inaccessible and scarcely deserve their name. The man who discovered them thought they were the actual antipodes of the spot occupied by Greenwich observatory, but it has since been discovered that they are the antipodes of Barfleur Point on the north coast of France, about 120 miles southwest of the observatory of Greenland. The British have long maintained a supply depot for castaways at Sunday island, in the Kermadecs, and the New Zealanders have now established another depot on Curtis island, in this group. Depots have also been placed on the Bounty islands and Snares island. Here and there along the coasts the government has erected posts with fingers indicating the direction of the depots. It is hoped that no other castaways will have to live for a week on one of these islands without knowing that relief has been provided for them. Rabbit Plague in Australia "The reward of $100,000 offered by the government of Australia to any person who may devise a successful mode of exterminating the rabbits, whose numbers make them a pest, is still standing," said A. McDonald, of Melbourne. "It was owed a good many years ago, and a great many people thought they saw an easy way of getting a nice lump of money, but so far no effective scheme of eliminating the bunnies has been presented. No matter how fast they are slain they breed with such rapidity as to defy distinction and continue to plague the cattlemen and farmers. They are shipped to London by the thousand in refrigerator, vessels, where they are eagerly bought by the English, who seem to prize them as an article of food. In Australia few people will eat them."—Washington Post. Like Cures Like. Fuddle—You know Stocks, don't you? Doctor—Yes. He is a patient of mine. "Pretty wideawake man, isn't he? "I should say so!

It dates back to much earlier days of the drama. And there have been instances when the interpellations were of a somewhat startling sort. A number of well-known actors were discussing this subject when one of the oldest of the party said: "Boys, let me tell you that the tendency is not a new one. It is older than most of you, and no examiner that I have lately has been as stalling case I saw in southern Illinois years. We out with a one-night-stand piece, and after a long jump had landed in a small town very tired and very anxious for excitement. The manager told us that there would be no afternoon rehearsal, as an 'Uncle Tom' Cabin' company had the house for a farewell matinee. This was just what we were looking for, and decided to attend in a body. The show proceeded in the usual way up to Little Eva's death-bed scene. 'I see a great light, and angels, all singing,' says little havy. 'Tell me what to be singin', says Uncle Tom. Then little havy descended from her deathbed and executed as lively a song and dance as one could ask for. When she had finished and acquowired the thunderous applause of the audience, she returned to her couch and the death scene continued." Convincing Evidence. Winthrop, Cal., Nov. 20th (Special)—A plain and straight forward story is always the most convincing. And that is what has impressed us most in reading the testimonials in regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills. The experience told by Davis ewis of this place, behead the ring and anastomose of truth place, he said. "I was troubled for six months with dull, heavy pains in the small of my back, sometimes it passed into my stomach, at other times up between my shoulders. When it was in my stomach I was doubled up, and hardly knew what to do for the pain. I was advised to take all kinds of remedies, and did so, but without being any more careful, one told Dodd's Kidney Pills got a box and began taking them. The first few doses gave me relief; by the time I had finished them all the pain was gone and I have been well ever since." Epitaph.
