CLARKE, Instructor. Vol. XXII. No. 5. ELIJAH LODGE Rebecca, and St. Mary's Temple of the U. B. F. & S. M. T. at Masonic Temple Last Tuesday Night. Last Tuesday night the above lodge and temples turned out at Masonic Temple, and the affair was a most successful one. Chairman David Uband and L. W. Fields endeavored to make things enjoyable for all. Our four hundred Sir Knights, brothers, sisters and juveniles, were out in full dress, and the public got a glimpse of the strength and intelligence of the grand work of our order. District Deputy Master C. H. Tandy was introduced to the vast concourse of people. He spoke at some length and then presented several prizes to persons who were successful, namely, Mrs. Hattie Williams and Mrs. Sadie Harris. Then came the competitive drill of the valiant Knights of Friendship, who tried to make a few maneuvers, but it was evident that they had not been on duty. The Olive Leaf Drill Corps was next, with Mrs. Mary Monroe as captain. She at once demonstrated that she knew her business. She was well versed in all the commands that she gave. Mrs. Monroe is cool and gave her commands very distinctly that all could hear, and movt e like clock work. She and her company deserve much praise and when they go to Lexington, Ky., next June, they will bring back the honors, as they executed some very difficult movements with as much ease as old soldiers. Then came the Juvenile Drill Corps under the command of L. W. Fields. These children are marvelous in the execution of some of the difficult movements in the activity of military [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Prices. AFTERNOON.

Taking the entertainment as a whole it was the most successful in every way that we have even seen. We noticed several ladies that were on deck: Mrs. Lula Brunner, and her lovely daughter. Mrs. Mahojey with her sweet little daughter. Mrs. Cannon, of 4355 Maffitt avenue, also another lady that lives on St. Louis avenue. They were as happy as to larks. Mrs. Sadie Irvin, W. P., of St. Mary Temple No. 88. She is as lovely as women get to be. Mrs. Lucy True, Sadie Harris, Nellie Lewis, Katie Boswell. H. H. Thompson, Maria Uband, A. Hallam, Belle Wilson, and many others whom time and space forbid us mentioning. WHAT A MAN TRIED TO DO. We were very much surprised Monday to hear a man, who calls himself editor of the American Eagle, trying to instruct a body of ministers in their duty, and he also very much doubted the sincerity of the ministers of St. Louis. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." The man who sets himself up as a model and an instructor ought to be evenly qualified to do so. Mere words do not make the man, nor does the expression, but his past life should be such that his words would be of some weight. AGENTS WANTED—Can make $3 to $5 a day.

DYER AND THE CENSOR-FIND NO GOOD IN THE NEGROES. Scarcely, if ever, does the St. Louis Censor, owned and published by Mr. George Dyer, ever make its appearance without containing a tirade of abuse for the American Negro, nor do any escape from sarcasm, from the most noted Negro leader to the insignificant, shiftless Negro of the streets. None are overlooked in Mr. Dyer's skeptic pillage for the sensational. There is but one honor for men of nations. This consists in impartial justice and generosity, in acting up fearlessly to a high standard of right. Holding practically all property, civil and military power, and distinguished by courage, it seems incredible that the white race should tremble before the "black savage," as Mr. Dyer so often styles the American Negro. If this alarm be real, it can be explained only by the old observation that the injurious are prone to fear, that men naturally suspect and dread those whom they have wronged. All tyrants are jealous and cowardly, and Mr. Dyer is no exception. Such morbid creatures are always a menace to community, and a dreaded hindrance to humanity. Mr. Dyer belongs to that class of human blood-suckers who earn their existence at the expense of other men's characters. A few, just a few years ago, and the Censor was having a mighty struggle for existence. It was about this time that Mr. Dyer succeeded in multing a wealthy gentleman of a goodly sum on the put-up-shut-up plan. It does not follow that men of Dyer's very putrid standing should be hailed as a judge of the Negro's worth. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES. Sunday, the 14th, Antioch church will hold covenant services from 10:30 to 12 m., and 3 p. m. the Lord's Supper will be administered. All members are expected to be present, and friends are invited. Antioch Missionary Circle officers were installed Wednesday, the 10th, by Sister Joenae Stevens, wife of Rev. George W. Stevens, also second vicepresident of the W. H. F. M, and E.convention. The instruction given by Sister Stevens was beautiful, grand and impressive, and much enjoyed by all present. After the installation, the audience stood with bowed heads while Rev. Lewis Lane prayed that the blessings of God would rest upon the new officers. The programme was carried out nicely. Services were opened by siring "Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy," led by Rev. J. O. Edwards. Scripture lesson by Sister Ellington, president of Ebenezer Circle. Praise meeting, led by Sister Boswell, president of the Woman's Auxiliary to the National Baptist convention. Prayer by Sister Belle Rogers, president of the Central Baptist Sewing Circle. Collection by Rev. Stennis and Sister Moore—amount, $2.25. Benediction by the pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson. The friends then repaired to the chapel, where cake and coffee were served to all. God bless the work. JIM CROW SKATING RINK. For the past forty years the white man of the north, south, east and west has advanced every possible effort to subdue and curb every laudable effort of the Negro, and only where the black man has acquired a portion of worldly goods has the Jim Crow white man showed an inclination to come over and extend the hand of fellowship, and only for the purpose of gathering in the shekels that the unsuspecting white folks' darkies take pride in handing over. A Jim Crow white man has arranged to open a skating ring for Negroes at Leonard avenue and Olive street. Every scheme finds some easy marks, and there are some deluded Negroes in St. Louis who are foolish enough to spend their time and money trailing after this Jim Crow white man. There are skating rinks of merit and character conducted by Negro men of standing, and it is high time that the Negro learn to shinny on his own side. PUBLIC INSTALLATION. The Queen of Sheba council of the ancient order Knigats and Daughters of Africa No. 700 at the A. M. E. church, January 29, 1906. Admission 15 cents. JOSEPHINE BROWN, M. E. Q HENRY GRIFFIN, M. W. R.

The old year, with its pleasures, happiness, sad regrets and accomplishments, has gone to eternity, never to return. We stand on the threshold of another new year, wondering what it has in store for us. School opened on the 3d under the jurisdiction of Prof. H. H. Board as principal and Miss Annie M. Edwards assistant, with fresh courage, and a full opening. We hope to do as good, or better, work during the present year than in the past, with the aid of the parents. Mrs. Annie Carmon, 1420 Poplar street, St. Louis, was the charming guest of her husband at the home of their aunt, Mrs. Mary Bell, Christmas. Rev. F. N. Collier, of Nashville, Tenn., was the delightful guest of the writer during the Christmas holidays. Misses Lucile, Vera and Nina Ralston, of McKenzie, were the guests of Mrs. G. W. Bell, Christmas. Miss Mattie Williamson, of Huntington, Tenn., paid the writer a visit Christmas. The writer, in company with the groom and several young people, witnessed in Terrell, Tenn., the marriage of Mr. Jesse Gleason and Miss Millie Thompson. The groom is one of our prominent young men. The bride possesses a charming disposition. We wish for them a long, happy and prosperous life. We welcome to our midst, our pastor, Rev. J. R. Hamlett and family, who moved recently. Miss Birdie Jeter entertained at her home December 28, 1905, about twelve couples. After serving a number of courses, a royal time was reported. Mr. Elbert Carmon, accompanied by his wife, left for St. Louis. We trust his health will continue to improve. ANNIE M. EDWARDS AT REST. The reaper whose name is death visited the home of Mrs. Nancy Bondurant, and claimed as his own and carried to the Heavenly home beyond her precious daughter, Mrs. Margaret Edwards, December 19, 1905. She was a loyal and true member of her church, and died in the triumph of faith. She was a loving and devoted wife. We extend great sympathy to her dear husband, mother, sisters and brothers, also other relatives and friends. Funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. R. Hamletts. We will try but weep a little while. We did all we could. You can't come back to us, but we will come to you. A cousin. ANNIE M. EDWARDS. Dresden, Tenn.

Four were seated at a table, but nothing was doing. A lady there is called Pigeon. She was called by that name, and the two young men were astonished. While they looked with astonishment the gentleman said: "You young Bradshaws are not the only pebbles on the beach." So they left, and to quiet their nerves, the gentleman said: "Pigeon, you go out and talk to them and settle their nerves." The lady in charge, and the head waiter exclaimed: "Behold, what manner of man is he?" We left and went east to the Masonic Temple. YOUNG MAN INJURED. Mr. Matthew Moore, of 2615 Lucas avenue, one of The Palladium's weekly readers, and a well-known society man, sustained a painful but not serious injury last week. It seems that Mr. Moore, who has charge of the Baker-Bayles building, was casting aside some old letter files, when he accidentally struck the back of his right hand against a broken piece of plated mirror, making a wound several inches in length, with the veins exposed. Dr. Adams treated the wound, and pronounced it a very narrow escape. THE WORK OF MRS. V. L. WALKER AGAIN DISPLAYED. W. P. Dye's pool table has been newly remodeled at a cost of $150, and the pool room will be newly papered by Mr. V. L. Walker, of 2636 Lawton avenue.

MINNEAPOLIS HOTEL HORROR AN INSIGNIIGNT FIRE THAT COST EIGHT LIVES. BLAZE IN THE WEST HOTEL Eight Persons Lost Their Lives by Suffocation or Jumping, and a Score of People Received Various Injuries. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 11.—Eight persons are dead from suffocation or from leaping from windows and a score of people were more or less injured as the result of a fire in the West hotel early Wednesday morning. The Dead. Capt. John Berlin of Truck No. 1 fell from the fourth floor to the Fifth street sidewalk, while attempting to save Mrs Barlow's life. W. G. Nickels, Minneapolis chamber of commerce; suffocated in his room on the sixth floor. Thomas Summerville, Springfield Mass.; suffocated in his room on the sixth floor. J. E. Wolff, New York; suffocated in his room on the seventh floor. Clinton E. Lamme, new York; suffocated in his room on the seventh floor. J. B. Peisniger, New York; jumped from a seventh story window. Mrs. M. E. Hodges, Minneapolis; jumped from a seventh story window. William Black, New York; suffocated in room. The Seriously Injured. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Spiesberger, Chicago; overcome by smoke. N. S. Amsdem, superintendent Minneapolis and Northern Elevator Co.; seriously burned. Gordan G. Sapp, Chicago; overcomg by smoke. Mrs. B. D. Barlow, Los Angeles, Cal.; injured by jumping from the fifth floor of the hotel to roof of Unique building. The fire, which is supposed to have been caused by crossed electric wires was in itself insignificant, being confined to the elevator shaft and the top floor in the corner of the building, but the wild excitement which followed the first alarm hurried people into halls and out upon window ledges in a frantic effort to save themselves. There was really no help for several who lost their lives. The wood in the elevator shaft burned like tinder, and a sheet of flame 20 feet wide mounting to the seventh story frightened the guests out of their senses. It was the huge volume of smoke that stamped the guests, as the moment a door was opened the room was filled with smoke, and the panic-stricken guests were compelled to beat out the windows to prevent instant suffocation. Many used their hands against the windows, offers their feet, and in almost every instance ugly wounds resulted. Result Revealed By a Search. The full extent of the tragedy which had been enacted throughout the house was not known at first. It was thought that the casualties were confined to those which the crowd witnessed from the street, the death of Capt. John Berwin and the unfortunate man and women who leaped to death in the alley toward Sixth street. At the moment the department got the blaze under way and the smoke cleared, a hurried search from cellar to garret of the big property showed a score of victims more or less overcome by smoke. The fire loss will not go over $30,000. FOR RAILROAD REGULATION Administration Measure For the Regulation of Railroad Rates Will Have the Floor. Washington, Jan. 11.—At a secret conference of republican members of the house committee on interstate commerce, Tuesday night, what will hereafter be known as the administration measure for the regulation of railroad rates was formally considered and adopted. It will be submitted at a meeting of the full committee Friday, and will come up for consideration in the house as soon as other business can properly be disposed of. This administration rate bill is what is called the "Dolliver measure," as amended in some details by Col. Heburn, chairman of the house committee. The meeting was for the purpose of familiarizing the republican members with the bill as it now stands, and to harmonize the different views of members of the committee regarding the details of the proposed legislation. Negro Lynched in Texas. Moscow, Tex., Jan. 11.—Ben Harris the negro who slew Era Polk at Berings Mill, Monday night, and who was taken from the officers Tuesday night at La Salle, by a mob, which held up the Santa Fe train, was lynched here at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning. Fire Near Charlotte, N. C. Charlotte, N. C., Jan. 11.—The plant of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., near this city, was damaged $125,000 by fire Wednesday. The blaze originated in the seed room, and before the progress of the flames could be checked the seed room, refinery and laboratory were totally consumed. An Aged Pension Office Employee. Washington, Jan. 11.—Franklin Moore, employed in the pension office, died here Wednesday. Mr. Moore was 88 years of age and had served 42 years in the pension office. PULLMAN TAKES A TUMBLE FALLS FIFTEEN FEET FROM AN ELEVATED TRACK. Seven Persons Seriously Injured In a Remarkable Accident in St. Louis. St. Louis, Jan. 12.—Seven persons were seriously injured, three painfully hurt, and ten others had almost miraculous escapes at 7:15 a. m. Thursday, when the Pullman car "Harcourt," attached to the inbound Wabash train No. 3 of the eastern division, toppled and fell 15 feet from the elevated railroad tracks on the levee near Carr street. Fortunately for several passengers who plunged through the glass windows of the coach as it fell, the ends of the car were caught by 8x10 girders at one end and by broken telegraph poles at the other, forming a bridge over a depression in the ground. Into this depression several fell. Had the car crashed to the surface, several fatalities would surely have resulted. The injured: John W. Patterson, 43, Milwaukee, Wis.; severe scalp wound, fracture of left wrist. W. E. Minor, 45, Roselle, N. J.; severe sprain of right ankle, cuts and bruises, probable internal injuries. Charles E. Sutton, 45, East Providence, R. I.; right ankle dislocated; body cut and bruised. Isaac Regensburg, 34, New York; two severe scalp wounds, right arm gashed. Mrs. D. Pury, Chicago, side brushed Mrs. L. D. Moore, 25, Chicago; back and right shoulder sprained; perhaps internally injured. Mrs. J. G. Pomeroy, 53, Chicago; right hip bruised, back wrenched. Mr. Pomeroy's injuries are very serious. Catherine Pomeroy, 5, Chicago; nose lacerated. Andrew A. Allen, vice-president and general manager Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway system, was badly brushed, and Mr. Henry Miller, general manager Wabash railroad, suffered severe contusions. STEEL WORKS DESTROYED Works of the Carnegie Steel Co. at Greenville, Pa., Destroyed by Fire. Greenville, Pa., Jan. 12.—Fire, starting from an explosion, destroyed the works of the Carnegie Steel Co. here Thursday night, entailing a loss of between $400,000 and $600,000. A flue in the boiler of a heating furnace blew out, deluging the furnace below, which exploded, scattering fire in all directions. The force of the explosion was so great that fire balls were lodged in the roof of the ten-inch finishing department and the flames spread rapidly. Within ten minutes after the explosion there was no hope of saving what is known as the old mill. A half hour later a strong wind swept the flames into the new tandem mill, shipping sheds and boiler houses. The plant is out of the city water district, and hose had to be laid a long distance, and availed nothing against the acres of flame. Much of the machinery will not be hopelessly destroyed, and the foundations, hot bed, etc., are uninjured. The loss of product will be serious, as the plant has been running day and night on high work. Four hundred men are thrown out of work. BIG COPPER MINE ON FIRE The Tamrack, Deepest Copper Mine in the World, at Calumet, Mich., Burning—Three Lives Lost. Milwaukee, Jan. 12.—A special to the Sentinel from Calumet, Mich., says: The Tamarack copper mine, the deepest in the world, is-on fire, with three men missing and almost certain to have met death in a horrible form half to three-quarters of a mile below the earth's surface. Shaft No. 2, where the fire was discovered, has been sealed over at the surface with heavy timbers tamped with clay, and also shaft No. 3. It may become necessary to cool shaft No. 5 also, to smother the flames. The mine contains several hundred million feet of timber, largely pine, and unless the access of air was shut off by hermetically sealing all openings, the property would be damaged to the extent of many millions. WM. J. BRYAN AMORO DATTO The Nebraska Statesman Created a Datto By the Moros of Mindanao. Duluan, Mindanao, Jan. 12.—W. J. Bryan was, Thursday, created a datto, and saluted by 50 pieces of native artillery, after which he was conveyed along the river to Datto Piang's palace in a royal vinta (a small boat), manned by 40 Moros. Here he received many presents. Mr. Bryan says it has been the most interesting day he has spent in the orient. Vatican Plan Abandoned. Rome, Jan. 12.—The vatican for the moment has abandoned the idea of presenting to the Moroccan conference at Algeciras a proposition for religious liberty in Morocco. It fears a repetition of what happened in the Madrid congerence of 1889. Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 12—Mrs. S E. Spiesberger, of Chicago, one of the most seriously injured victims of the West hotel, died Thursday. W. S. Amsden, superintendent of the Minneapolis & Northern Elevator Co., has a fighting chance for his life. York Not Held For Shooting. Clinton, Mo., Jan. 12—The special grand jury drawn to inquire into the killing of P. W. Snodgrass by James York on December 23 has refused to indict York, the evidence showing that he acted in self-defense. LESSON TEXT. Matt. 2:11:2. Memory verse, 12. Read also Luke 2:12-38.

There came," arrived in Palestine. It must have been been after the presentation in the Temple, for the family left Bethlehem immediately after the visit of the wise men, and before April, for Herod died April 1. It was probably in February. "Wise men from the east." Magl, sages. V. 2. "Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews?" "Where is the newly-born King?" "For we have seen His star in the east." Seen by them in the eastern countries, or seen in the eastern sky, or both. "And are come to worship Him." To acknowledge His worship; to do homage to Him. V. 3. "When Herod the king, had heard these things." Eager to find the object of their search, they would go through the streets asking: "Where is He?" at the same time telling the story of the star. "It is a simple question, but the quiet voice gathers velocity and volume until it sweeps over Jerusalem like a cyclone or a rushing wind of Pentecost. "He was troubled," agitated. "And all Jerusalem with him." A new king might involve the nation in a conflict with Rome. It might interfere with their luxuries, their tyrannies, their schemes of greedy gain. V. 4. "Gathered all the chief priests and scribes." The authoritative teachers and students of the law. "He demanded (rather inquired) of them where Christ," in the original, "the Christ," not the proper name, but the Messiah, the official title of the promised Deliverer, "should be born." What do your Scriptures say? What is your belief? V. 5. "It is written" (Mic. 5:2). V. 6. "And thou Bethlehem." This is quoted freely from the Septuagint (the Greek version of the Old Testament), just as such quotations were popularly made at that time, for there were no Bibles in circulation, and quotations must be made chiefly as remembered from hearing them read. "Bethlehem, in the land of Judae." Distinguishing it from Bethlehem in Zebulun. V. 7. "Then Hercd . . . privily (privately) called the wise men." Privately, for he was already hatching, still more privately, his malicious plot to destroy Jesus. "Enquired . . . diligently." Greek, accurately, to the finest point, referring to the information, rather than diligence of inquiry. "What time the star appeared." How long ago, within what time, was the birth of the king made known by the appearing of the star. V. 8. He sent (or directed) them to Bethlehem, a short six miles from Jerusalem. "Search diligently." Better, as before, accurately, carefully. "Bring me word . . . worship Him." He lied, because if he had told his real object, they, would, of course, not report to him. V. 9. And lo, the star, which they saw in the cast, the same distinguished star, but now in the south. V. 10. "When they saw the star," guiding them, and pointing out the place. "They rejoiced." Because their journey was now ended, their search was successful. V. 11. "They saw the young child." The wonder is that in a little child, in a small village, in humble circumstances, they could see the King. "And fell down," in the oriental manner of showing homage. "And worshipped Him." Three acts are here—falling down, worshiping and offering; the first, the worship of the body; the second, of the soul; the third, of our goods. With these three our bodies, our souls, our goods, we are to worship Him. Without them all, worship is but a lame and maimed sacrifice, neither fit for wise men to give nor Christ to receive."—Dr. Mark Frank. "Opened their treasures." The caskets or chests in which the gifts were brought. "They presented unto Him gifts." "According to the oriental custom in paying visits to royalty." V. 12. "Being warned of God." In a dream, in the same manner as God may have spoken to them before. "The verb means, to give a response to one who asks or consults. The word therefore implies that the wise men had sought counsel of God. Religious Thought. The best way to drive your children to sin is to keep your religion for company.—Ram's Horn. God is willing to do for any man or woman all that He ever did for anyone. If there is not a mighty work of God in us, it is our own fault. Find out what these hindrances are and put them away.—R. A. Torrey. A ray of light is not all the light there is in the universe, but it leads as unerringly to the source of all light as if it were.

We have trifed 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.

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. 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.

Artistic Work Which Any Boy Can Do—How to Make the Pattern Shown. Did it ever occur to you that a number of pretty and useful things and uses could be made from some strips of thin iron or brass, and a few bits of wire, pieces of stick and some black paint? Perhaps it may seem difficult to make the objects shown in the illustrations, but in reality they are very simple, and quite within the ability of any boy or girl. The materials needed are some narrow strips of metal, a few yards of thin copper wire, a flat ```markdown ``` and a round-nosed pair of pliers and some thin square sticks about the size that screens run on when fastened inside the casing of windows. Many of the scrolls can be bent with the fingers, but the short turns will require the aid of the round-nosed pliers. There are places in every city where the narrow strip iron can be had in two or three widths, but if it cannot be had at a hardware store the strips can be cut any width from a sheet of iron or tin with a pair of tin shears. Where the scrolls touch each other the union is to be made with copper wire bound round and the ends twisted together, as shown in Fig. 1. Where a stick is used, as in the back brace for the candle bracket, each part of the metal that touches it has to be fastened also with the wire. When all work is completed the parts should be coated with two thin applications of black paint made by adding dry lampblack to thin shellac so it is about the consistency of cream. It may then be applied with a soft-hair brush, and if it becomes too thick it can be thinned with alcohol. Only make a little of the black at one time, unless it is kept well-corked in a bottle. A simple and pretty pattern for a candle bracket, suggested by the Pittus- burg Gazette, is shown in the illustration. The plan can be laid out to measure 12 inches high and four inches wide near the top, and the scroll-work should be attached to a stick a quarter of an inch square that in turn may be fastened to a door or window casing. The best instruction is to study the drawing and make the plan Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 The candle socket can be made from Fig. 2, and for the sconce under it an eight-eared star may be cut to measure two inches in diameter as shown in Fig. 3. One of these brackets with candles will be useful at either side of a mirror or bureau. When making any object with scrolls or an open pattern such as this light bent iron work it is always best to mark out the design on a piece of smooth, heavy paper with a black lead pencil. Over the lines it will be much easier to bend and fit the scrolls than to guess at the proper shape and size, for the drawn line is a perfect guide to the completed work. And No Results! "The Daily Whooper is a great advertising medium." "Gwan. It's no good at all. I put a want ad. in the other day, and didn't get a single reply." "What was your ad?" "Poor young man wishes to meet a beautiful girl of some means who is willing to do her own housework." —Cleveland Leader. "What's happened, my boy? Your face is all scratched," said the father. "Oh, I just been playing with that little boy next door," replied the son, with his hand to his face. "Well, the little boy next door evidently wasn't playing with you!"—Yonkers Statesman. RUNAWAY RALPH. One Day Was as Much as He Could Stand and Then He Was Glad to Get Back. "I won't stay here another minute, so there!" pouted little Ralph Perkins. "There's always something horrid to do next. In the morning, I must get up if I'm ever so sleepy, comb my hair, and bother with shoe-strings and neckties that are 'most sure to get into knots. It's just the same all day; if grandfather doesn't ask me to do an errand, mother is sure to want the chickens fed, or a basket of apples, or some wood, or something! I'll go where a boy can have a little fun, and I guess every one will miss." So, filling his pockets with ginger cookies and some doughnuts that grandmother was frying, he said: "Good-by, grandmother; I'm going away to find a real jolly place. I'm tired of living on a stupid old farm." "Good-by, dearle," smiled grandmother. "Come back to Thanksgiving dinner and eat some of my pumpkin pie and turkey." "Why-ee!" thought Ralph; "grandmother doesn't care at all; but I guess my mother will be sorry that she made me work so hard." Mother looked surprised when the eager little boy told his story. "Very well, Ralph," she said, as she kept on sewing; "only look out for snakes and spiders and cross dogs: "OH, GOODY! NOW I CAN HAVE ALL THE CUP CUSTARDS." "Better take along some of these apples, my boy," called grandfather from the orchard. "You'll get hungry by and by." "Ralph's going to run away!" cried his sister Amy. "Oh, goody! Now I can have all the cup custards." "Amy is really glad I'm going," thought Ralph, slamming the gate, "and nobody seems to care much." Running away did not seem such a grand frolic after all. Just at dusk, a tired little fellow crept softly through the hedge of Macs, around the grapevine to the plaza, and made a wild rush for mother's arms. "I couldn't find a good place to sleep, mother," he sobbed. "There wasn't any fun; folks were cross that lived where there were lawn swings and croquet balls, and nobody wanted me at all. 'N there's cross dogs and plicemen and everything! I'll bring in wood and run errands all day tomorrow, mother. Amy can have the cup custards if she wants 'em, but please, grandmother, I'd like another doughnut." The Sunbeam. TRAY AND PELLETS.

Her heart's desire is that her fervent prayer be recommended to every missionary worker throughout the entire world. Her prayer is as follows: Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man and woman that cometh within thy reach.

Mrs. William Richardson, of 612 South Ewing avenue, has moved to 1231 North Fifteenth street, upstairs. She has been ill several weeks. Mr. George Washington, of Wellsville, Mo., is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Bessie Wilson, of 1409 Poplar street. He is one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens in Wellsville. Mrs. S. S. Johnson, of 4210 Filmore street, presented her husband with a fine boy last month. Mother and son are doing nicely. The dear little boy was christened last Sunday. Mrs. Julia Arnold, of 6619 Waters street, and Miss Elsie Fleming, of 2906 Laclede avenue, spent the holidays in Kansas City, Mo., and returned much pleased with their visit. The pupils of the Attucks school, of which Mr. J. B. Vashon is the principal, will give a concert and exhibition at True Reformers' hall Tuesday evening, January 30. A feature of the programme will be the first appearance of the Attucks Burleque Silver Cornet band. At the Provident Hospital whist party at Douglass hall, Tuesday, January 23, among the prizes will be a $5 silver bon-bon dish from Jaccard's, an order on Hanan & Baker for a pair of shoes, a fine rug from Kennard's, and several others. Playing will begin promptly at 8:30. Rev. S. A. Love, of 2629 Lucas avenue, who is connected with the pure human hair and wig company of America, was seriously hurt December 31 by a Suburban car. He is slowly recovering. Those wishing to see him, call at 3320A Franklin avenue. Mrs. L. Rosebur and sisters, Misses Carrie and Sarah Woods, of 4224 Margaretta avenue, were pleasantly surprised Saturday, the 6th, by a large number of their friends. A very pleasant evening was spent. Among those present were Mr. Henry Crews and Guy Moor, of Chicago, both noted musicians. THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS AND THE DOUGLAS HALL. These two halls are owned by Colored men and women, and every dollar that comes in goes to their race, but the money that is taken in by a white man goes to hire a white girl. Why not go to the skating rink at 3137 Pine street, or the Douglass hall? They are conducted by Colored men. Keep your head out of the "Jim Crow" skating rink. If you will skate, then go to 3137 Pine street, or the Douglass hall. Negro men own and control the same. WAIT A MINUTE BLIND BOONE COMING Friday, Sunday and Monday nights; also all of next week, Seventeenth and Olive streets.

LOUIS PALLADIUM OF THE The motto of the National Rip Saw is: "Blind as a bat to everything but right." 3214 and 3216 are two bewitching females and some one said he would like to room at 3214 to be near 3216 providing—well you know. Birds of a feather will flock together. When you see a man in company with a tough, his stamp is upon the other. When a girl knows that another girl is any thing but a lady—why is it that they are always in their company. Answer—because she is no better than she. CAN I DO WITHOUT THE PALLADIUM? We received a letter last week from Mrs. Jerome Covington, of St. Paul, Minn., saying that The Palladium did not come on the 30th of December, and she begs us to send our bill, for fear we would stop the paper. We have complied with her wishes. Mrs. Covington's mother lives at 4040 Finney avenue—Mrs. M. MeManus. This is the same lucky mother who said some time ago: "Now I have got my three daughters married off to good men, and I will not object to taking one myself." A PRESENTATION. The class of 1905, at the Orpheus Dancing Academy, Friday evening, presented Mr. James W. Grant, master of the school, with a handsome gold medal inscribed with his name and the name of the class. The presentation was made by Mr. John F. Pope in an eloquent speech, in which he dwelt upon the value of Mr. Grant as an unselfish, public-spirited citizen. The recipient was taken completely by surprise, but responded in his usual happy manner. Changed Conditions. "I'd rather be right than president," Said noble Henry Clay.

The New Year's entertainment given by the woman's auxiliary was a splendid success. A company of young ladies received from 3 to 6, and members of the auxiliary served refreshments. The young ladies rendered valuable service in securing new members. Twelve were secured. A crowded house was present in the evening, and listened to a very pleasing programme. By this splendid effort, with only a few days of preparation, the auxiliary turned over to the association $39.65 to apply on the interest note. A vote of thanks was tendered to the auxiliary for their assistance. The next grand event of the auxiliary will be a "George Washington Tea," Thursday, February 22. Names are now being enrolled for the bookkeeping class. Call or write the secretary for terms. In the last two days three men were placed in good situations through the employment bureau.

TOYLAND XMAS. Dear Editor Wheeler: You have done very well this year. I trust you will do better next year. I will not leave you a rocky horse, horn or fire crackers, but I will leave you a jumbo stick of peppermint candy. I have been to Jefferson avenue and Lucas avenue, and to 2205 Morgan street, and to several other places, but I did not find either grandpa, Miller, or the Eagle Bird. I met good old Prof. Murray on Jefferson avenue, and he told me that the Eagle Bird had flown away and left Pap Miller. I get the Palladium every week at my house in Toyland. I learn from it that Farmer, the lawer, has left St. Louis, that Gordon is off the police force, that Lawyer xaymond saved a man from the gallows, and many other things that have happened. Be a better boy next year and I will remember you more liberally. Yours truly, SANTA CLAUS. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 9, 1906. Miss Richardson: This is a little piece of poetry written in my spare moments. If you had Mr. Wheeler would be kind enough, and think it worth publishing, I would gladly, and highly appreciate the honor, and my name and another piece will be enclosed in next week's letter. ST.

A man's curiosity never reaches the feminine standpoint until someone tells him that his was in the St. Louis Palladium, then he buys two. Clothes may not make the man, but it is useless to create a disturbance by going around without them. Woman loves man and the dear fellow can't help it. She bosses him and the old fool doesn't know it. A SPLENDID PLACE TO GET THE INNER MAN RENEWED—1319 MARKET STREET.

Dorsey, manager of the Booker T. Washington. Meals at all hours, the best and quickest in the city. The boys all go to the Bocker T. Washington, 2353 Market street, as the home has no competitor on Market street. Why? Because Mr. A. W. Dorsey is the best cafe man on that street. Selections from Good Authors on the No woman can be true to her sex and live to be over forty. Uneasy lies the female head that wears no new Easter bonnet. After man came woman, and she has been after him ever since. Most women nowadays are are fair in proportion as they are false. The less hair a woman has the more time it takes her to do it up. Flatter a woman and she will love you; pity her, and she will hate you. Women are like cats. Both are graceful, both are domestic and both scratch. The farther a man gets away from a dollar, the larger it looks. You can easily fill the public eye if you have sufficient dust. If you want to know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one when you really need it. When a man finds his clothes are too loose, he should either change tailors or his boarding place. Some women are both good and true —but most of them are too good to be true. Eve originated the Serpentine dance when she waltzed out of the Garden of Eden. This is a tough world for women at best. They must either marry or become old maids. More or less, all men have rode in their own carriage, when their mother pushed it along. Some are now riding the mule in the Palladium. A woman can drive a man crazy for twenty-four hours and then bring him to the gates of Paradise in two seconds by simply tickling him under the chin. Bishops of the A. M. E.

No Accident Insurance for Fighters In an opinion on a suit for accident insurance brought in Kansas City, George Washington against the Union mutual and surety company, the court of appeals has decided that an injury resulting from a fight does not entitle an accident policy holder to payment. Washington was struck by a brick in a quarrel, in which it was proved in the lower court that he was not the aggressor. The court of appeals held that the defendant company's policy explicitly provides that such class of injuries are not included in the insurance contract. Royal Live Stock Officers. The following directors were elected at the annual meeting of the American royal live stock association at Kansas City: C. R.

Elliott, Estill, Mo.; George Stevenson, Jr., Waterville, Kan. Richard Brown, Carrollton, Mo.; A. M. Thompson, Nashua, Mo., and George R. Crouch, Lafayette, Mo. Joplin Ticket Office Robbed. Four men who rode into Joplin on horseback robbed the cash drawer of the Kansas City Southern passenger station. The night operator, J. W. McGinniss, was in the yards weighing cars when the robbery was committed, and the robbers broke open the cash drawer and took all it contained, $17.25, and also the operator's overcoat. It is supposed the robbers expected to find a large sum of money in the office. Trading on Margins is Gambling. According to a decision of United States District Judge Finkelnburg, handed down at St. Louis in the bankruptcy proceedings against Thomas A. Cleage; formerly head of the defunct Clegage Commission company, trading on margins and the dealing in puts and calls is gambling, and creditors basing their claims upon moneys placed in the hands of a broker for these purposes are not entitled to recover. Caprain of Cruiser Visits Home. Capt. J. M. Miller, of the United States cruiser Minneapolis, a former student of William Jewell 1862 to 1865, spent a short leave of absence with his mother and brother, Dr. E. H. Miller, in Liberty. Capt. Miller has not long since returned from Taraka, Spain, where he was sent by the government to take observations of the recent total eclipse of the sun. Indian Mounds to Be Opened. R. E. King, of Kansas City, Kan., has arranged for an examination of a large number of prehistoric Indian mounds which King has discovered in Cass county, Mo. The mounds are on a 70-acre tract of pasture belonging to Dr. Bush, of Harrisonville, and are located five miles north of that place. They are about 75 in number, and have never been disturbed. Girl in Jail for Horse Stealing. Pearl McDonald, the 16-year-old girl who disappeared from Alba with a livery rig, was apprehended at Duenweg and taken to Carthage, where she was placed in the county jail on the charge of stealing a horse and buggy. She will probably be sent to the reform school. She is a handsome young girl, looks to be 20 years old and weighs 165 pounds. An Anti-Saloon Organ. The anti-saloon meeting at Hartville elected A. J. Summers president and C. H. McClure secretary. It was decided to start a newspaper under the supervision of the league. Mr. Summers is the president of the Southwest Press association and Mr. McClure is county commissioner of the public schools. A. Sedalia Grocer Assigns. John H. Hope, of Sedalia, has assigned his stock of groceries to C. C. Lawson for the benefit of the Hope creditors. The assets are $3,000, and Habilities $2,100.

A New Dunklin County Office. The county court of Dunklin county has separated the office of recorder of deeds from that of circuit clerk for that county. Gov. Folk has appointed M. C. Stokes to fill the new office. In a Prosperous Country. Good financial conditions, prevailing in the northwestern part of the state, constituted a subject upon which W. L. Buehle, state bank examiner, made the following statement: "I find," said he, "that the farmers in what possibly is the richest agricultural section of the country are in better shape financially than I have ever known. Despite the reported low prices in live stock, there seems to be a greater number of cattle than ever before. The farmers raised big corn crops up there this year, and they seem to want to feed it out rather than to sell it. The deposits in all the banks of that section are extremely large. State Accepts Heating Plant. State Accepts Heating Plant. The commission on permanent seat of government held a meeting in the governor's office with the firm of E. H. Abadie & Co., of St. Louis, and formally accepted the new central heating plant recently completed by Abadie at the capital. The new plant was constructed at a cost of $40,000 and is said to be one of the finest in the state. All of the state buildings, the executive mansion, capitol, armory and supreme court buildings, are now heated by this plant. The governor and state officers expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the new heating plant. Lumbermen to Meet. The Southwestern Lumbermen's association will hold its annual convention at Kansas City January 23-24-25. Fifteen hundred members are expected to be in attendance. This organization takes in the retail dealers of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian territory. The wholesale lumber dealers of Kansas City have taken upon themselves the work of entertaining the visitors. Wealthy Missouri Farmer Dead, Jebez H. Potter, 91 years old, one of the wealthiest men of Cooper county, died in his home near Otterville. He was a Mason and native of Missouri. He owned a general store at Otterville and hundreds of acres of land. For more than 30 years he lived on the farm where he died. He is survived by his widow and four children. Lid Lifter's License Revoked. In delivering his opinion in the case against William T. Kessels, charged with keeping a dramshop open at St. Joseph on Sunday, Judge Casteel declared the ordinances permitting saloons to be open on Sunday invalid and in conflict with the state law. Kessels was fined $200 and his license declared forfeited. Oak Grove Hns a Commercial Club Fifty business men of Oak Grove have organized a commercial club. Committees will be appointed to secure factories for the town and to confer with the county court in regard to macadamizing the road from Levasy to Lone Jack through Oak Grove. A request will be made to have the Chicago & Alton build a larger station. Snow Benefits Missouri Whent. Secretary George B. Ellis of the state board of agriculture has stated that no fears need be entertained for the safety of the wheat crop on account of the recent heavy snowstorms. On the contrary, said Mr. Ellis, a snow at any time during the winter is beneficial to wheat, which is the only crop now in the ground. A Big Convention Coming. The seventeenth annual convention in Kansas City next month of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial congress will be according to the secretary, Arthur F. Francis of Cripple Creek, Col., the largest commercial gathering ever held. Two thousand five hundred delegates are expected. The Military Ball.

Judge Martin, of the circuit court, has set February 5 for the trials of Convicts Vaughn, Ryan and Raymond, indicted for murder, in connection with the recent outbreak at the penitentiary. FEATHERS DYED BRONZE. The feathers that Paris is using now add their quota to the singularity of appearance the hats of the French elegantes present. A peculiar penchant for dragged plumes is a characteristic of the vogue of the moment, but it is not the ostrich feather alone that provides the wherewithal for its indulgence, says the London Mall. Peacock tail feathers are dyed a dull bronze brown, then ruffled disconsolately as if to symbolize the bird's chagrin at the liberty taken with his lovely plumage, and attached by the handful to the outer side of the brim, always on the left side, in accordance with the unwritten law of millinery tactics that relegates height to that side of the head. Another feather is a mingling of many fronds, including maraboot and ostrich, chosen for their general fluffiness of texture, allied to a specially vertebrate spine, which enables the plume to be reared on high with a strangely menacing air, the more unpremeditated in appearance the better. INDIANS KNOW TURKISH. Tribesmen of the East Indies Who Speak in the Oriental Tongue. The Chinese puzzle of anthropologists and philologists is a Turkish puzzle. It was recently shown that the language of the pygmies is the language of the Australian aborigines and that both come from the early Egyptian. Students of the University of Campeche have discovered that there are tribes of East Indians in the interior of that state the members of which can speak the Turkish language or one so similar that a Hindu and a Turk can readily carry on a conversation. A Turk who did not know a word of the Spanish or Indian languages recently landed at Campeche. He had the address of a countryman who lived in the interior and proceeded to that locality. To investigate the reports that the Indians could understand the Turkish language the man was accompanied by several students of the university. They found that the newly-arrived immigrant had no trouble in conversing with the tribesmen and the students have now undertaken to establish the relationship between the Indians of the tropical state and the Turks. HE WAS A BOY ALL RIGHT. Hall Caine was praising the American autumn, relates the Washington Post. "I visited in October," he said, "the country house of a New York man. It was in New England, on a mountainside, and the splendid colors of the foliage—the scarlets and golds and innumerable flamelike tints—gave to the still forests an indescribable magnificence. "And the leaves fell in a rain of color through the transparent air. In the garden, one afternoon, I heard a gardener say to his little son: "I wish you would rake up these dead leaves in a pile." "Oh, I don't feel like it,' whined the boy. 'My back's sore and I've got a cramp in my wrist, and there's growing pains in my leg.' "After you get 'em raked up,' went on the gardener, calmly, 'you can make a nice bonfire out of them, and jump over it.' "The boy began to whoop and leap. "‘Hurrah!’ he shouted. ‘Where's the rake?’ Bad Manners in Japan. Perhaps you are tired of hearing that the Japanese boy is the most polite youth in the world. No wonder! You have had this fact drummed into your ears until the least suggestion of such a thing makes you say or to think: "Fudge!" Perhaps you can endure just one more allusion to this pleasing trait of the young Japanese. If one does chance to forget his manners—a most uncommon occurrence—the offense is not only punished, but apologized for. A case is told where a child on the street called a traveler a "Foreign Devil." This is a common epithet in China and all through the old world. People use this expression as you would call a Chinaman a "Heathen Chinee." In the case of this child of Japan he was reproved, a policeman was sent for, who visited the insulted lady, and an apology was tendered her for the rudeness of this child. All this politeness and courtesy has not made the Japanese "sissy." You know what magnificent fighters they have proven themselves in their late war with Russia. Crickets Ali Violinists Violinist of the fields a poet christened the grasshopper, whose musical apparatus demonstrates the scientific fitness of its name. Both crickets and grasshoppers use a rudimentary violin. The crickets have a fiddle, the abdomen being partially endowed with small bridgellike edges or ridges, against which the wings are rubbed in order to produce the strident chirp. All such insects are tenors; deep bass voices are unknown, although it is the male, not the female, insect that is the musician. Some insects, like the locust, have veritable violin bones, covered with fine ridges and attached to the wings by two button-like growths. Others have cavities covered over with a fine membrane, which serves the purpose of a resonator; in almost all insects of this type there is a parchmentlike part of the abdomen which acts as a kind of sounding board. FOR SUNDAY READING RUNS COFFEE HOUSE. Noted London Divine Engages in Movement to Reach and Help the Poor. That leading religious workers are coming more and more to appreciate new methods in reaching the masses is constantly being emphasized. The news comes from London that Rev. F. B. Meyer, whose books and Bible lectures in this country have exerted such deep influence upon the religious life of the people of recent years, is going to run a coffee house. He has taken at his own risk the "Old Nelson," which stands in a populous and degenerate locality not far from Mr. Meyer's church in Westminster Bridge Road. "I have determined," he says, "to make that place a blessing and a lighthouse to the whole neighborhood." Of the project the London correspondent of the Record of Christian Work has this to say: "The scheme will cost a good deal of money to get it started, but Mr. Meyer is confident that it will prove a good investment in more ways than one. He wants a place where he and his workers can send the hungry people they have to deal with to get a meal. He is anxious also to provide working girls with accommodation for cheap and wholesome meals. There is a large hall connected with the Nelson, and it is Mr. Meyer's intention to use this for dinners during the day, while at night it will be open as a social center for the carrying on of good work, in avowed opposition to the bad work of the public house. It will be kept open each evening as long as the public houses, and a little longer, so that a place may be at hand where the workers from Christ church may take the drunken people they pick up on the streets." CONQUESTS IN ASSAM. Missionary at Impur Tells of Remarkable Progress of the Gospel Among Natives. In addition to the news of recent baptisms in the Naga nilis, Rev. W. F. Dowd, of Impur, sends the following striking illustration: "A few days ago some of the leading men in our nearest village gave a feast to visiting friends from Ungma. All the participants have from the beginning been hostile to Christianity, and none of them even now show any signs of being converted. But when they made their after-dinner speeches, and had gone over their history from the creation of the universe and related all the great deeds of valor done by their respective men of renown, they finally ended by saying: 'What is the use of all this? We have from the beginning tried our best to keep the new custom from gaining a foothold in the country, but we might as well try to stop the sun and moon from rising. When it got started in the lower and smaller villages then we said, We will at least keep it out of the big villages. The more, however, we try to dam up the stream the faster it goes. Now we are surrounded. The whole tribe is filled with the white man's religion. We are like men surrounded in battle and there is no use in fighting longer. If we are to continue as leaders of the people we ought to become Christians ourselves, and this we cannot do without giving up our sins. We do not know what to 10.'" A Revival in Madagascar A remarkable wave of revival has broken out in the Betsieleo country in Madagascar, which was first evangelized by Welsh missionaries 80 years ago, and has many Welshmen still at work there, says the Record of Christian Work. These missionaries, hearing of the Welsh movement, told the native Christians about it, and formed a "solemone league and covenant" among them to prepare and pray for a similar revival. Quarrels were made up, injuries forgiven, and as far as possible every hindrance set aside. A few weeks were spent thus, and then the answer came in a profound sense of God's presence and power at a prayer meeting. This led to the decision of 83 natives on the following Sunday morning, and at the May meeting that soon ensued, a typical wave of blessing swept over the gathering which is still spreading and deepening as it flows. Those who are in the work ask for the prayers of all believers at home. Y. M. C. A. Work in Foreign Lands. Y. M. C. A. Work in Foreign Lands. The foreign department organizes and strengthens model Young Men's Christian associations at strategic student and city centers in foreign mission lands. For this purpose strong college men are sent out as secretaries to aid in organizing and supervising the associations and in raising up and training native secretaries. There are now 46 secretaries on the field, of whom 13 have been sent out during the past year. These are working in Japan, Korea, China, Hongkong, India, Ceylon, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil and Argentine. Thirteen new secretaries are under appointment and will sail this fall. A Pentecost for England Rev. George F. Pentecost, D.

A man with shrewd gray eyes walked along the busy down-town street, carefully observing everything. Suddenly he paused, then rushed toward a rain-pipe attached to a building and rammed his cane into it. The familiar squealing of a rat pierced the air, relates Youth's Companion. All daughters of Eve within hearing lifted their skirts and fled the place. Men and boys began to crowd around. People came from across the street. Carts and cabs halted. "Say, mister, that stick isn't long enough!" shouted a newsboy. "Somebody go and get a terrier," suggested another. Evidently the owner of the shrewd gray eyes did not desire advice, but intended to deal with that matter according to his own fancy. He paid not the slightest attention to the remarks, but continued vigorously to ply his cane. "Let him come out and then set the dogs can!" "Tut your hand in and grab him by the tail!" "Say, why don't you use the big end of that cane?" "Blow smoke up the pine!" At last the star performer glanced over his shoulder—the crowd was packed and jammed behind him, and two policemen on the outskirts were struggling to make an opening—the "psychological moment" was come. The man removed something from between his teeth, and extended it toward the crowd. "Here you are, gentlemen!" he cried.

The happy wife of a good old-fashioned Mich. farmer says: "In the spring of 1902 I was taken sick—a general breaking down, as it were. I was excessively nervous, could not sleep well at night, my food seemed to do me no good, and I was so weak I could scarcely walk across the room. "The doctor said my condition was due to overwork and close confinement and that he very much feared that consumption would set in. For several months I took one kind of medicine after another, but with no good effect—in fact, I seemed to grow worse. "Then I determined to quit all medicines, give up coffee and see what Grape-Nuts food would do for me. I began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar and cream and bread and butter three times a day. "The effect was surprising! I began to gain flesh and strength forthwith, my nerves quieted down and grew normally steady and sound, sweet sleep came back to me. In six weeks' time I discharged the hired girl and commenced to do my own housework for a family of six. This was two years ago, and I am doing it still, and enjoy it."

A professor of mathematics in a leading New England college had been much annoyed by the students coming to class without their textbooks. Various reasons were given. One man said that some one had borrowed his book, relates Judge, "What's that excuse?" said the irrate professor. "Hereafter your work and your book are to be here. Any man who fails to bring them will be marked zero. No excuse if any kind will be taken." The professor's son was a member of this class, and was the first one to be called up at the next recitation. "Adam, problem 14 at the board," called the professor. "Pardon me, professor,' said his son; but I haven't my book," he said. "Haven't you book?" roared the professor. He was doubly angry because his own son was the first offender. "Didn't you hear what I said yesterday?" "Yes, professor; but my father box brings book last night, and he didn't bring it back." Quite Different. "Pa, what's the difference between profession and a trade?" "The man who works at a trade quiz when his eight hours are up.

Why? because she has taken Dodd's Kidney Pills, that well known medicine that has put new life into old bodies, and has comes as a God-send into homes of sorrow and suffering. She says:— "No one knows what awful torture I suffered with Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble, until I got cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. This grand remedy drove the Rheumatism out of my body, nothing else. My health was good. Dodd's Kidney Pills are worth one hundred times their price, for they have made me, though I am fifty-seven years old, a new being.

To women who suffer Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are worth their weight in gold. At special periods a woman needs medicine to regulate her blood supply or her life will be a round of pain and suffering. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are absolutely the finest medicine that ever a woman took. They actually make new blood. They are good for men too—but they are good in a special way for women. "It was three years ago last spring that my health failed me," says Mrs Arthur Conklin, of No. 5 Coldwater street, Battle Creek, Mich. "I suffered from leucorrhoea and other troubles that, I presume, were caused by the weakness it produced. I had sinking spells, nervous headaches, was weak and exhausted all the time and looked like a walking skeleton. "My back and limbs would ache almost continually and there were days when I was absolutely helpless from sick headache. I tried one doctor after but cannot say that they helped me at all. My liver was sluggish and I was troubled some with constipation. "One day a physician who has now retired from practice met my husband on the street and inquired about my health. He advised my husband to get some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for me, said they were a good medicine, better for my trouble then he could put up. I tried them, improved steadily and soon was entirely cured. As soon as the leucorrhoea was cured the headaches and other pains stopped. I am entirely well now but intend to continue to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a spring tonic."

Will you not be frank with yourself—now before it is too late—and so plan your life that a rest period may be yours each day? Take a time to call your own, when, closeted in your own pretty boudor and clad in a loose warm dressing gown, you may fling up your windows, indulge in a dozen deep restful breaths, lifting the chest and head high, and then after taking a few gentle trunk turnings to right and left—bending and twisting in all directions to keep the waist line supple and the figure youthful—fling the arms up over the head and make great sweeping circles with them to help the circulation at important nerve centers. After indulging in a few deep knee bendings and half a dozen more deep breaths as a finish, throw yourself on your couch—relaxing every muscle and driving all thoughts and worries from your brain—simply rest mind and body. You may even sleep, if you will, for from 20 minutes to an hour. This relaxed rest will do you more good than two hours' sleep taken under different circumstances, declares Mme Hebe, in the Chicago Inter Ocean. But see to it that your window is open a little both top and bottom during your rest and that you have a light warm covering thrown over you, as you must avoid chill after exercise and during the rest period. Again, you who are sick, do not always order your carriage when you have but six or seven blocks to go for a brisk walk in the open air will help keep you young and is often actually necessary to your health. I believe it to be a fact that the so-called rich often fall into dangerously lazy habits through the conveniences and luxuries that their wealth surrounds them with. And so to the girl who is forced to walk from six to ten blocks daily, I say, be thankful, and do not waste your time in envying your wealthy neighbor. Fate decrees that you must take this life-giving, health-retaining exercise each day. When fatigued after a "trying" day or tired out from social duties, throw yourself upon a bed or couch and remain in the first position for five full minutes without removing hand or foot. The body is suddenly relaxed and a sense of complete rest takes the place of the strain that results from being too long upon the feet. Perfect repose may be gained by lying on the flat of the back for half an hour at a time, with hands out stretched. Let the head rest upon a pillow that is not too high. If you cannot sleep, close your eyes and put body and mind in a quiescent state. For an afternoon sieesta treatment of this sort is a good restorer of overworked nerves. TIE END: POINT LACE. Pattern Suitable for a Narrow Tie of Silk or Muslin and May Be Otherwise Used. This is a pretty finish to a narrow tie of hem-stitched silk or muslin. The design may also be used as an applique for trimming dresses, blouses, etc. Materials required for a pair of 4080 A LOVELY DESIGN. ends: Two yards braid, one skein of thread, one yard purl edge. The stitches are not difficult, the work can easily be accomplished by one at all skilled in this kind of needlework Boric Acid. Every housekeeper should have on hand a supply of boric acid, which is a very useful antiseptic. For burns it is unusually excellent. Drop two ounces of the boric crystals in a glass quart jar and fill with water. This makes a saturate solution. Take a piece of gauze or cheesecloth and saturate with the solution and lay on the burn. Apply very moist, covering with absorbent cotton and then with oiled silk. This will keep moist for 12 hours, for the oiled silk will prevent evaporation. If you haven't the boric acid use a solution of bicarbonate of soda, which is nearly as good. Ugly Nails. The ugliest nails can be improved by taking the trouble daily to push back the hard skin that grows at the base of the nails. This should be done after the hands have been washed in warm soap and water and are still moist. A soft towel is the best thing to use for the purpose, or an ivory or bone implement such as is sold in manicure sets. HIGH CLASS DRUGGISTS AND - OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choiceest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

What is the beginning of sickness? A. Constipation. Q. What is Constipation? A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the waste matter which lies in the alimentary canal where it decays and poisons the entire system. Eventually the results are death under the name of some other disease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trouble at the present time. Q. What causes Constipation? Q. What causes Constipation? A. Neglect to respond to the call of nature promptly. Lack of exercise. Excessive work. Mental emotion and improper diet. Q. What are the results of neglected Constipation? A. Constipation causes more suffering than any other disease. It causes rheumatism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc. It is the one disease that starts all others. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, loss of sleep and strength are symptoms-pileus and fatigue are caused Constipation. Its consequences are known to all physicians, but few sufferers realize their condition until it is too late. Women become confirmed invalids as a result of Constipation. Q. Do physicians recognize this? 5. Do physicians recognize this? A. Yes. The first question your doctor asks you is "are you constipated?" That is the secret. Q. Can it be cured? A. Yes, with proper treatment. The common error is to resort to physics, such as pills, salts, mineral water, castor oil, injections, etc., every one of which is inhaled. They witen and increase the malady. You know this by your own experience. Q. What then should be done to cure it? A. Get a bottle of Mull's Grape Tonic at once.

"I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constant falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any at all. Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Ointments. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months' time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, and no more dandruff or ticing of the scalp.

"The catastrophe has come," said one, "and it is a pity that the czar cannot meet it like a man. The situation is dramatic. The people are in revolt and the ruler can not trust his own guards. He must die by the hand of an assassin, sooner or later. Why can't he grasp his opportunity, order his troops to shoot down the mob. Then if they revolt and fly upon him, let him die like a lion at bay with shots and cries and belching fire and go down amid the crash of falling palace pillars for his funeral pyre." "That idea, while it's all right," said the other, "doesn't appeal to me. Nicholas should have retired from the ring when the Japs (trounced him. He could have made his sneak out of the country and came over here and made all kinds in vaud-wille. John L. draws and Jim Corbett draws, but the czar of Russia, giving a monologue on 'How the Japs Done It,' could pack Convention hall with a $25,000 audience every day in the week and make Corbett and Sullivan look like the red ring around a baby's stick of candy.
