St. Louis Palladium

ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Lyons' Short Order Restaurant Always Open 2337 Market St. Bison The Buffalos' Ball and Banquet a Success in Every Respect. Vol. XXII. No. 8. The Buffalos' The Buffalo's $1000 spread given at Masonic Temple Monday night was the most gorgeous in splendor and extravagance ever given in the city of St. Louis or ever in the United States by Colored people. The banquet tables were beautifully decorated in purple and gold, Buffalo colors; the table was also lighted with golden candles, and American Beauties and carnations, as Monday was Carnation day in honor of our beloved martyred president, the Hon. William McKinley. The ladies were dressed in fashion and ornamented in diamonds, pearls and rubles. The reporter had a lady reporter to look as as many of the handsome gowns as possible. The banquet committee, in charge of Chairman Frank Boyd and Littleton Walker, handled the beautiful guests with care and saw that everybody got plenty. Mr. Archie Farrell, chairman of the souvenir committee, took good care of all the ladies. He was able assisted by George L. Harris, secretary of the board of trustees. Mr. Mercer Douglas had charge of the door and handled the great masses with ease. Parker lodge, No. 5, was organized in the year of our lord, 1899, and from that day has grown steadily until this day it is the best benevolent institution in the city or state and has the largest bank account of any in the state to its credit. The reporter can not say too much good for the officers [Name] WILLIAM H. FIELDS Exalted Prelate. of Parker lodge. William H. Fields, the exalted prelate, is a hard worker and the best presiding officer in the state. Mr. Fields was born in Evansville, Ind., and came to St. Louis 17 years ago. He has been elected four years in succession to that exalted office, which is a high credit to his order and himself. George W. Holt, treasurer of Parker lodge, is one of St. Louis' best business citizens. He came to St. Louis five years ago and went in business, and today he is the richest Colored man in the city, having a beautiful stone-front residence; at 2704 Lawton avenue. Mr. Fred C. Williams, recording secretary, is active and a good worker in the cabinet. J. Arthur Freeman, state organizer, was born in Maryland and is one of our best educators in the public schools. He is the principal of Wheatley school. Stephen A. Smith and George Turner worked hard to help the big success Lyons' and deserve great credit. David Henry Young, the counselor of Parker lodge, keeps the prelate posted on all law points. Calvin Branch, ex-counselor, was assisting the chairman of the floor committee. Vice Prelate James T. Colad had charge of the service committee, assisted by Mr. Charles Oyerton, and neither of these two gentlemen need recommendation to the St. Louis public. They are workers and hard workers for Parker Lodge. Miss Nettie Taylor, 2708 Lucas avenue., white brocaded silk; ornaments, diamonds.

We wonder where is Mr. Edward Carson, of 1310 Gay street? Some lady is loving him. Mrs. Myrtle White and her husband were enjoying themselves, and seemed to be very much attached to each other —2213 Walnut street. She wore a beautiful costume and an evening hat. Her ornaments were pearls. Mrs. F. E. Smith, of 1423 Papin street, was dressed in elegant style. Miss Grace Wyatt was looking as sweet as women get to be—3214 Lawton—and her dress with pearls was beautiful. The most expensive costumes ranged from $75, $125, $150, $185, $250 and $325, not including the gems worn, and many were worn which cost from $125 to $2,000. Mrs. Prince, of 4 South Twenty-first street, was dressed in very costly material, and her fingers and ears were bedecked with diamonds and rubies of great value—not less than $1,700. Mr. Archie Ferrell, the gentleman who gave out the souvenirs, had the extreme pleasure of seeing every lady who came in the hall. They could not have been placed in better hands. Mrs. Hopkins, of 3908 Finney avenue, was out, but her husband was not. However, he knew The Palladium man would be there, and would attend to her many wants. Mrs. Belle Monroe, of Omaha, was the pivot on which many eyes turned. She is now stopping at 2341 Market street. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1906. Anderson Russell, the undertaker, was there in full dress, with a grave digger on. He, like W. C. Gordon, seems to have things his own way. 2322 Chestnut street. Mrs. Hattie Finwick and Mrs. Wilson, of 2349 Market street, were enjoying themselves. Little Miss Prudie Hatcher, of 3424 Lasalle street, was the sunshine of all men, and the envy of all young ladies. Miss McClain, of 23 South Leonard avenue, was out, but where was Mr. Paul Brown? He could not be seen. Miss Viola Gray wore a cream-colored satin dress. Miss Gertrude Tyler, of 1044 Mound street, wore a black silk, and really surprised The Palladium man, because we thought she was married. We have been sending the paper to her as Mrs. She will call soon. Deacon George Williams, of 715 North Twelfth street, was enjoying himself in his own way. He was seated at a table with other gentleman, and champagne flowed like water. Mrs. Mary White, of 1418 Pine street, and Mrs. Carrie Allen, of 1418 Pine street, were on deck, looking as lovely as two lovely women get to be. They are all O. K. Miss Louise Benton, dark blue serge, with delicate blue Crepe de Chine. While there we wanted to get the names of a few of the "dirty dozen" and their company, who wish to be known as ladies, so by the aid of our former secretary we got them. Seated around a table were Mrs. Mabel Lee (nee McCoy) and Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Richardson, who were dressed neatly, and from all outward appearances they were having a good time. There was no sand blowing, and we saw and heard all. Miss Ida Eaton, of Finney avenue, was out, and dressed in elegant style, ornamented with diamonds and pearls. Mr. Jas. W. Grant was the center of attraction. Prof. Lucky and Arthur Johnson assisted him in the grand march. It was the grandest march we have ever witnessed. W. C. Gordan, our very polite congenial friend, was on deck, and the ladies eyed him from the time he entered the hall until the close. Go in, young ladies, he is all O. K., and will make some _____ _____. Well you know. Only wish I was a lady. Mr. Geo. Holt was looking as solemn as a judge on the supreme bench, yet he is the man that makes the money and uses it for his friends. Miss Prudie Hatcher, of 3424 La-Salle street, was out. She is a beauty. Mr. Jas, T. Cole's wife and daughter were just the thing. They all enjoy life and one can see that happiness dwells in their home. Several of our young would-be ladies were regular beer slushers, still they wish to be looked upon as ladies. But could they have seen as the Palladium man did, alas! Mrs. Bettie Bland, who formerly lived at 1420 Singleton street, was indeed very attractive. She now resides on Warne avenue. Dr. W. D. Scott and Dr. Anderson looked on but took no part, as the favorite of Dr. Anderson was not there, and since there were so many of the other fellows' girls out, he kept to himself. Mr. Chas. Overton was dressed in the height of fashion. The girls are all jealous of him, but they had better be careful. We know the main one on Fairfax avenue. Mrs. Mattle Robinson, of 2031 Chestnut street, was dressed in a white satin dress, overlaid with white lace, and a white camel's hair coat. The cost of the coat was $125, and of the entire costume $250. It was a dream. Mrs. Reddick, of 1818 North Grand avenue, was there, looking as gay as a girl. Her lovely daughter was not with her, she was at home ill. Miss Tyler, of 1004 Morgan street, enjoyed herself. She was dressed faultlessly and took well. Mr. Harvey Davis, of 2032 Market street, proprietor of the Alcove, was doing things up brown.

Misses Susan Bell and E. Paul, of 4216 Cook avenue, were dressed in brocaded satin with trains three feet long. These were the most unique in their make-up. The gods of fashion would have bowed to these two young ladies. Miss Lizzie Moore, of 613 South Ewing avenue, wore low-neck and long sleeves, the material being very costly. She was lovely to look upon. Miss Williams, of Denver, Col., was the fairest of the fair. Her dress was very costly, the price being $85. Mrs. L. H., of 2222 Chestnut street, Palmer house —. Well I must see first before I give too much for nothing. Mrs. Irene Lucky, of 2023 Chestnut street, was dressed very neatly. She wore a white lace robe over pink silk with pearls.

U.K. & D. of A At Belleville, Ill. Last Monday night the Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa at the A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Queen of Sheba Council No. 700, gave one of the grandest affairs ever held in Belleville. Mrs. Josephine, M. E. A., with her members, was equal to the occasion. Not only were the citizens of that city interested, but many friends came from the surrounding cities and villages. Rev. McCracken, P. E., of said district, invoked the blessing, after Mrs. Josephine Jones, M. E. Q., of Rising Sun Council of East St. Louis, Ill., spoke at length in her intelligent way, and installed the officers of Queen Sheba council. Then all at once, as if a thunderbolt from a clear sky, it was announced that all was ready to repair to the supper table. At once the Palladium man in his invisible robe was at the head and marched forward to devour what was prepared to quench the hunger of men. As we looked upon that table, we beheld all the delicacies of the season, chicken fried and baked, celery salad, French cup custard, oysters, fried, stewed and scalloped, and pies of all kinds, lemon, apple, peach, mince, etc., lettuce and pepper salad, plum pudding, cheese, nuts and ice cream. After supper we repaired to the church and met Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. and Mrs. Woods, of Lebanon, Ill. and many more from that place. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, of East St. Louis, and the invisible robe of St. Louis, who was in it none can tell, but we got there just the same; at a late hour all dispersed and we departed in peace, hoping for the time to come again. J. W. W. The Ministers' Union. The Ministers' Union met, according to call, and, after opening with the usual form, the minutes were read and the regular routine of business was carried out. Rev. Henry Morman read a paper on the character of Jacob, which was discussed pro and con for 30 minutes by Reverends Brown, Williams, Gillum, Cheatham, Venerable, Duke, Christian, Thurman and Winter. Much good and wholesome food for the mind was brought out, after which the president, Rev. W. B. Stewart, spoke some words of good and wholesome doctrine. The subject next week will be the "History of Joshua." This gives them all timely notice. While we would not attempt to instruct or doubt, the ministers ought to know something more than the name Joshua. VERY SICK. Mrs. Charles Foley of 2635 Lawton avenue presented her husband with a lovely babe about two weeks ago. Since that time she has been very sick. We hope for her recovery. She is the sister-in-law of Mrs. J. H. Kent of 2607 Lawton avenue, also Dick Kent of 2135 Market street. QUEST OF DR. COOK. Rev. F. J. Peck, D.

At the close of service last Sunday morning the rites of Baptism were administered by the pastor, Rev. S. P. Anderson. Rev. Jos. O. Edwards, the new superintendent of the Sunday school, will be pleased to have parents and children attend school. Mrs. Francis Hunt, a very worthy sister, is now president of Antioch B. Y. P. U.

St. Louis Colored Orphans' Home. The St. Louis Colored Orphans' home, 4216A Natural Bridge road, have Sabbath school every Sunday at 3 p. m. We welcome everybody to come and spend an hour on the Sabbath with the fatherless and motherless children, who are glad to see your faces and have good instructions. We should all be interested in this great work, and make this our mission work. We ought not to forget that these children should be taught while they are young to fear God. Will you come and see the fine class of boys and girls? J. O. Minor, superintendent of the Sunday school, Miss M. Dickson, the organist, has proved herself to be worthy of double honor by her faithful work in the orphan home Sunday school work. January 18 Mr. H. Smith and Mr. Jesse Hughes and January 28 Rev. T.

LOUIS AND MEXICO CITY Only Sixty Hours’ Travel Between Metropolis of Southwest and mexindee capital: St Louis, Jan. 31—The United States and Mexico, North America’s sister republics, destined in the es- timation of all to be closely allied in the stupendous accomplishments of the future, have been brought within intimate touch by the installation of a semi-weekly fast train service, giv- ing a 60-hour schedule between St. Louis antl the City of Mexico, Begin- ning on January 16, each Tuesday and Friday thereafter, at 9 a. m., a through vestibuled train will leave the St. Louis Union station over the Iron Mountain route, and at 8:30 p. m., two days later, will land its passengers in the ancient capital of the Montezumas—the pres- ent metropolis and seat of government of modern Mexico. Unquestionably this new departure means much for both nations concerned. It is a shortening of the links in the chain of fraternal amity, born of a better understanding of their mutual interests, and will bring about a still closer social and commercial relationship. Credit is due the several through lines which have co-operited in this laudable enterprise —the Iron Mountain, the Texas & Pa- cific and the Interhational & Great Northern (all Gould roads) on this side the Rio Grande, and the National lines of Mexico beyond Laredo—though be- yond a shadow of doubt they will reap a rich harvest from the rush of tourist and commercial interests to profit by this opportunity of speedy and comfort- able travel, a delightful change from the customary slow time, frequent changes at junction points, and the tedious tayovers that formerly robbed travel of its pleasure. The train will comprise through compartment and Standard drawing room sleepers, and observation and dining cars, affording every comfort and luxury of modern we ttabais: pacino THE BRITISH UNEMPLOYED Attempt Will be Made to Sclve the Problem by Sending Thea to Canada. ‘Washington, Feb. 2—A scheme has been presented under which Lora Roths- child, at his own expense, will send 200 families to Canada, Fifty of these families will leave England February 13.

Washington, Feb. 2—The adminis- tration has been served with formal notice that the leading republicans of the senate do not intend to confirm the nomination of Mr. Franklin K, Lane, “of California, as a member of the in- terstate commerce commission to suc- ceed former Gov. Fifer, of Illinois, who retired recently. The name of Mr. Lane was sent to the senate several days ago, and has ever since been pigeon- holed in the committee room of Sen- ator Elkins, chairman of the commit- tee. Mr. Lane is a democrat, and sup- ported William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and in 1900, The president, it is stated, had a conference with Senator For- aker, of Ohio, who frankly told him that the nomination was held up, and would continue to be held up as long as the administration was insisting upon railroad-rate legislation, He said that Mr. Lane was not the type of man who should be on the commission if the legislation such as was asked by the administration was enacted, or any- thing like it.

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 Carolina, 12 each. 24 Mississippi. 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas. 12 Missouri. 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each. 18 Washington, D. C. 4 Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each. 8 California, Ohio, New Jersey and THE L 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 Negre 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 orilliant 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. EADER POOL ROOM AT 8 & 10 S. 14th St. This is a new building that was erected for that purpose also a large room for rent over pool room. J. H. KENT, Mgr. Lillie Bar, iot Street, Happenings in Missouri. The Missouri Fruit Not Injured. Although definite reports have not been obtained from all parts of the state, information received by the Missouri Agricultural college indicates that the sudden drop in the temperature did not injure the fruit crop. J. C. Whitten, horticulturist of the University of Missouri, says that he has examined a number of trees on the experiment grounds in Columbia and finds the buds uninjured. The recent warm weather, he thinks, has swollen the buds so that they will not be able to withstand as much cold in the future as they would had the temperature been uniformly lower. The Ozarks Want the Capital. The editors of southwest Missouri, on their excursion to Branson, adopted a resolution to ask congress to move the national capital to Aurora, or some other town in the Ozarks. S. C. Elliott, an Aurora millionaire introduced the resolution. The resolution was carried with a whoop. Mr. Elliott says that the pure air of the Ozarks would give statesmen breadth of character, moral stamina and courageous convictions which would result in wise government. Found Metal and Molds. John Howerton, alias John McDaniel an ex-convict from El Reno, O. T., was arrested at St. Joseph by a deputy United States marshall on a charge of making counterfeit money. Molds, babbitt metal, block tin, plaster of paris and other materials used in manufacturing bogus silver dollars, were found at the home of Dick Johnson, 2400 South Eleventh street, where Howerton roomed. Witnesses testified to having seen Howerton making the coin. This Bankrupt Did Well. A voluntary petition was filed in the United States district court at St. Louis by John J. Millenberger, a real estate broker, setting forth that his liabilities are $111,794.58 and that his total assets amount to $150 worth of wearing apparel for which he claims exemption. This petition is said to involve larger liabilities and smaller assets than any other bankruptcy case filed in the federal court in years. Nevada Wants High School. The Nevada school board has ordered an election for February 16, to vote on a proposition to issue $50,000 worth of 20 year bonds for a new high school building. Work on the new $75,000 court house will begin in the spring. Construction work on the federal building is expected to begin before long, and if the high school proposition carries this city will experience quite a building boom. Missouri Has 47,746 Hunters. Since the game law went into effect last spring there have been issued 47,746 resident licenses to hunt and 69 non-resident licenses. The total receipts have been $49,113.60, with disbursements of $11,988.33, leaving a balance in the state treasury of $37,-115.27. Of the receipts $581.25 was received from fines collected for violation of the law. The C.Jest Mule Is Dead. The oldest mule in Jackson county, so far as the birth records go to show, is dead. He was owned by Henry Harrison, of Clay township, northeast of Oak Grove. Mr. Harrison says that the animal was a yearling when his father bought it in Ray county in 1863. This would make the mule almost 44 years old at the time of his death. A Missouri Pioneer a Suicide. Frank Thompson, an old settler of Cedar county, shot himself to death at his home near Eldorado Springs with a double-barrel shotgun loaded with buckshot. He moved to that county before the civil war. He was an ex-confederate veteran. Thompson was 65 years old and had a large family. Chillicothe Votes Bonds. At the election held at Chillicothe for the purpose of bonding the city for $100,000 to buy its own water and lighting plant, the total vote was 1,024; 842 for, 182 against. The city has been lighted by a private corporation for 20 years. College Girls to Be in Court. President J. W. Million, of Hardin college, who believes in practical education, has conferred with Circuit Judge James D. Barnett, and when some suitable case is being tried the young women of his school will hear the trial. Missouri Student Dismissed. Secretary Bonaparte has ordered the dismissal from Annapolis naval academy of Midshipman Chester A. A. Bloebaum, of St. Charles, found guilty by courtmartial of hazing. Woman Dies on a Train. Mrs. A. L. Frober, 38 years old, died on a Santa Fe train near Norborne, Mo. She had boarded the train at Baring, Adair county, and was on her way to Colorado for her health, accompanied by her husband and mother. Thirty Mules Sold for $4,050. Hugo Boling, a farmer southeast of Clarence, delivered 30 mules at that point for Blackburn & Burks, of Nashville, Tenn., for $4,050. They were shipped to the south. According to the government report for the year, just issued by the national bureau of vital statistics, Carthage had a lower death rate in 1905 than any other city in the United States, holding first place in this respect, just as she did the year before. One of our long-lived men is Col. H. G. Dietrich, a rired mill owner and capitalist, and the oldest active Elk in the United States. At the Carthage Elks club the other night the colonel, who by the way is a witty and ready conversationalist, boldly issued the challenge that he could dance a jig and cut the pigeon-wing with more ease and grace than any of the young society men present, and when called upon he promptly made good and carried the lively performance through without fatigue or misstep. Joplin Mineral Land Sold. One of the most important mining sales in recent years in the Joplin district was consummated in the sale of the Empire reserve by the Empire zinc company, to E. Z. Wallower of Harrisburg Pa., owner of the Keystone hotel and L. Ward Gray of Springfield, Ohio, for $150,000. The property consists of the leases, the Sexton mine and the leases of the Alice H. and the Powers mines, three of the best producers in the Joplin district. Down a Three-Story Shaft. An elevator in the new wing of the Missouri state insane asylum No. 3 at Nevada, fell three stories, precipitating George Suter and Thomas Ball down the shaft to the ground floor. Suter was not seriously injured. Ball was much less fortunate, as his leg was fractured above the ankle. The two men were on the elevator with a radiator and were nearing the top floor when the rope broke, dropping them to the ground below. Studies in College with His Children Rev. S. F. Wilson, one of the first class to start in Park college at Parkville, but who left before his course was over to be ordained in the ministry, is now studying for his B. A. degree. His son Lester and his daughter Zora belong to the class with which he will get his degree. Rev. Mr. Wilson is earning his way as he goes by serving as steward of the college family and is also in charge of the college band. Race Track Cases Dismissed. Race Track Cases Dismissed. Upon motion of Prosecuting Attorney Johnston the cases of George Ehrlich, E. V. Kintz and K. Miller, charged with having registered bets at the Delmar race track last summer, in violation of the anti-bookmaking law, were dismissed by Judge McElhinney, of Clayton circuit court. This was the fifth time the cases had been set for hearing, and were considered test cases. Smothered Child to Death. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Cornellus, who live southeast of Mexico, went to Wellsville and took their infant son Walter. While returning home the mother wrapped the baby snugly and held it closely to her breast so it would not feel the winter's blast. When they reached home they found the little one was dead. It is thought that he was wrapped too tightly and smothered to death. Considered in Missouri Also. A motion has been filed in the supreme court by Attorney General Hadley asking that the court consider the same briefs in the case pending there to determine the right of witnesses to refused to answer questions as are filed in the New York court. It is stated as probable that officers of the Republic Oil company will be called as witnesses. H. D. Ferguson Pardoned. H. D. Ferguson Governor Folk has pardoned Howell D. Ferguson of St. Louis, who was sentenced to the penitentiary in December, 1904, for two years for embezzlement. Ferguson gambled away some of his employer's money and pleaded guilty to the charge. The governor pardoned him on condition that he refrain from gambling and obey the laws of the state. Baileys Get the Change of Venue. Judge Barnett sustained the motion to take the case of Edmund Bailey and wife, charged with the murder of Jay Lawder, out of Audrian county. Their cases were set for trial at Fulton, Callaway county, in May, Judge Walker is the presiding judge. Swift & Co., Branch Burned. The Sedalia branch of Swift & Co., of Kansas City and Chicago, has been destroyed by fire. The upsetting of a gasoline lamp into a bin of feathers started a confaguration. New Railroad Chartered. New Railroad Chartered. A charter has been issued by the secretary of state to the Missouri, Iowa & Nebraska Railway company with a capital stock of $500,000. The road is to extend from Adair county, Mo., to Sioux City, Ia. Mrs. Susan Wix, of Nevada, Dead.

Vernon, ex-minister, and who will soon be ex-president of Quindara college, will soon be register and sign our money in Washington, and will be known as a man who got to the department through many charges and specifications alleged against him. We hope his life will be changed while there. Mr. W. H. Whitfield of the internal revenue is aspiring for reappointment as messenger under Hon. Edward Allen, and it is to be hoped that he is retained. Mr. Whitfield is a conscientious Republican and a tireless, energetic worker in his official capacity. A more pleasing appointment could not be made by the new collector. According to latest political pointers, Dr. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, president of Western university, is to succeed as register of the United States treasury Mr. Judson Lyons, whose term will expire in a few weeks. Several candidates have been named in connection with the covetable position, but Dr. Vernon seems the most likely to secure it, as he has the strongest backing and the most favorable political record behind him. But for the low opposition to his appointment from certain members of his own race household he would have been named in all probability for the place before this. The position is an important and lucrative one, but Dr. Vernon will measure up to it with no less efficiency than the late Blanche K. Bruce or the retiring Judson Lyons. His appointment will give widespread satisfaction to the race and gratification to the constituency of western whites who are behind him with wealth, power and influence—Christian Recorder. We are surprised to see the above editorial in the Christian Recorder, stating that the appointment of Vernon will give general satisfaction to the race and gratification to the constituency of western whites who are behind him with wealth, power and influence. We wish to say that white men do not know the Negro. They are pushing him for what they heard him say. His personal friends are the ones that wish him to get the office, that he may aid them. But we who live here in the west and know the circumstances ought to be heard, and we will from now until the appointment comes off. Tuesday Evening, February 27, 1906. PRESENT.

Frank Fowler Brown, formerly of the Brown & Brown Co., will appear at True Reformers' Hall Monday, Feb. 5, 1906. Mr. Brown is a lyric tenor and a graduate of Schellschmidt School of Music of Indianapolis, having studied under Prof. Jas. L. Geiger, a graduate of Cincinnati College of Music, after which he studied under the great Lamperti, prior to a successful season in vaudeville. He is the possessor of rare vocal powers, with a voice flexible and bell-like, of a rare, pure, sweet quality, which shows the result of careful training. Messrs. Theodore Drury, Rosamond Johnson, and Harry Burleigh, whom he sang for in private, were very enthusiastic over his voice and were unanimous in the opinion that he is one of the artists of the race; that as a tenor singer he ranks with Mr. Sidney Woodward and Mr. Harry Williams, the race's greatest. He has been engaged by Mr. Drury to be one of the tenors to sing the part of Don Jose in "Carmen" and Radames in "Aida," during the week of May 28, at Fourteenth street theater, New York. We keep on hand several wonderful remedies. Call and see—the best in the market to remove smallpox pits if applied as directed.

DESSALINES PUBLIC SCHOOL 1745 N. 12th Street. Dessalaines school is the most com- plete school of its size in the city. It consists of a two-story, fireproof build- ing of ten rooms. In all of the rooms there are seats which may be adjujsted to the size of the children; rooms on the east side where the light is intense- ly strong, have the walls painted green, while the others are a warm yellow tint. The class rooms are beautifully decorated with artistic and antique pic- tures, gifts of teachers and patrons. ‘On entering the school, your atten- tion is at once attracted to the large, spacious corridors. These corridors are fireproof in every respect, which is a very important feature where buildings: are freqnented by large numbers of, people. Along these corridors we find antique pictures of Rome and other fa~ mous cities of the orient. While these pictures tend to beautify the building, they have a more specific value. For example, a class studying Burope in the geography could readily get a vivid idea of what they are studying if such pictures ag “A Poet in Holland” are hung near the room in which this class recites. Landscape pictures prove val- uadle to drawing classes, Brass chan- deliers abound throughout the entire building. a ‘The principal's office is probably the only one in St. Louis without an equal. ‘The office is 10x14 feet, with book- cases built in the wall. The floor is polished, and to add to its beauty we find an oriental Brussels rug. We also find here pictures brought from Europe by Mr, Williams during his tour of the orient. One picture we noted, which occupies a prominent place in the of- fice, was that of President Lincoln. A marble bust of the poet Longfellow is one of the most attractive objects in the office. It was presented by the patrons of the school. ‘The kindergarten, a large, bright, cheerful room, faces the east, with a large bay window, in which we find palms and rubber plants. Miss V. Wal- lace, directress, has the room beauti- fully decorated with pictures and hang- ing ferns, which add much to its beauty. ‘Miss Emma L. Wyatt, a graduate of June, 1905, is in training in the kinder- garter, and has excellent control over the children, Miss Mae Barrett, al- ready famous as a musician, displays her talent in a skillful manner. ‘The basement is unusually high, with an engine room entirely fireproof, and of a delicate gray color. The boiles and fan rooms are among the best in the city, having the latest appliances ‘to control heat and steam. We find here three gauges for the convenience of the engineer,one showing how much steam in boiler, another showing how much pressure on pipe, and the third regulating the Johnson system of heat- ing. ‘The graduates from this school whe entered Sumner high last Monday were Rueben Herrington, Misses Lillie Oats, Georgia Hutchinson, Helen Johnson, Anna Marshall, Anna Owens and Maud Chattan, Their exercises took place last Friday night at the school, Twelfth and Brooklyn streets. ‘The children of this vicinity are well behaved, and do their school work in a créditable manner. Mrs. A. B. Shiv- ers serves hot lunch at noon for the children, as warm food is more health- ful for children, ‘The teachers are Emma M. Armstrong, Ruth A. Wash- ington, Kate G. Hurley, Bleanora H.

In looking over our list of learned Divines and Professors, we have dis- covered a second Big Indian around whose wreched, degenerate and de- graded form, is closely drawn the blanket of religion. This arch deceiver who sat at the very head of one of our institutions of culture is even as contemptible, and malicious defamer of his race as the Big Indian of St. Louis. This red eyed defamer of defenseless school girls, has been known to put on the war paint of immorality and chase the daughter of a brother minister, and was forced to flee for personal safety. The editor of the Palladium does not believe in lynching but when a man black or white seeks to defame the character of a defenseless female he should pay the penalty by forfeiting every vestage of manhood, and if need be by yielding his life to wounded humanity and the down trodden honor of the weaker sex. This Big Indian now located at Quin- daro, Kas., is the most corrupt of the corruptible corruption. THAT'S WHAT TALKS.

BACKYARDSHOOTINGMATCH An Exciting Affair, and It Didn't End Just as Was Expected All on Account of a Girl. There was a target practice on at the Back-Yard Shooting club. It was to be a match between the president, the vice president and the secretary. The treasurer did not shoot, and they let her hold the stakes because she was always fair; the treasurer was only a girl, anyway; she liked all the members, and showed no partiality. She was also umpire for the same reason. "She's just as good as a boy," said the president, "only she can't pitch. But I ain't blamin' her for that neither. THE PRESIDENT FROWNED AND PLACED ANOTHER PEA IN THE SLING THE PRESIDENT FROWNED AND PLACED ANOTHER PEA IN THE SLING. Girls is built different in their bones, so st they can't throw good." The treasurer was good to look upon, with her round red cheeks, big brown eyes and tousled hair. Not a boy in the club could beat her running, and as for climbing trees, she was like a squirrel. She could climb higher than any of them, because, as the vice president explained: "She's light, and she dast go out on little limbs at would bust with us boys." But as I said, there was a target practice on. The guns used were Bricky Smith's best improved unpatented Goliath pea-shooters, and the target was an old leather carriage cushion, on one end of which the secretary had painted a fresh spot of white paint. The carriage cushion was neatly tied to the post of the clothes-horse, and was all that could be desired as a target. "Because, you see, if you hit it," explained the president, "the pea will make a spot on the paint, and we'll know who gets nearest the middle." It was bound to be an exciting affair, for the stakes were high—the president's second best jackknife, the vice president's jewsharp and the secretary's red crayon pencil were in the hands of the treasurer, all to be turned over to the winner. The shooting began promptly at 3:30 of a bright Saturday afternoon. Three shots apiece were the limit for the trial. "First the worst!" said the president; so the secretary had to begin. He fired his first shot wild; nobody ever knew where it landed. Bing! The second hit the edge of the bull's eye. Bang! The third thumped on the carriage cushion somewhere, but left no mark on the white paint. The secretary saw his red crayon pencil passing from his possession, and he sighed as he stepped back out of the eye of the public. "Second the same!" called the president, and the vice president took his place in the arena. His right hand trembled slightly, but his eye was firm, for he longed to possess the president's second best skipped. Bim! The carriage cushion responded, but left no sign. Boom! A tiny spot appeared in the bull's-eye just far enough in to make the secretary emit a groan of despair. Bam! Still nearer the center, and the vice president retired with the fire of hope burning in his right eye—he had shut the other so tight when he sighted the mark that it hadn't popped open again as yet. "Last the best of all the game!" It was now the president's turn. He took his place haughtily. He measured the distance and calculated. Ping! The pea flew far, but there was no thud on the target. The president frowned, and placed another pea in the sling. Pong! It flew and hit some part of the clothes-horse. The president knit his brows so tight that he could hardly unravel them. Whang! Tang! There were two distinct thumps. All gathered around the target. Yes, there was the tiny mark of the president's pea, farther in than the others; but square in the very middlest middle of the center of the bull's-eye was a larger mark and a small stone lay on the board beneath. The treasurer laughed so hard that she nearly dropped the stakes. "That's my stone!" she said. "The president wasn't doing much, and I turned around to fire that stone at a pear, and it slipped out of my hand and went backwards." "The stakes is hers." said the president, manfully. "She hit the middle." The treasurer smiled joyfully and then laughed again. "I don't want 'em," she said. "The knife's too mortal dull to cut anything; I can't play the jewsharp, and I couldn't draw a barn door with the pencil; so you can all have 'em back." "Well," said the president; "If that isn't just like a girl!"—Sarah Noble lives in Boston Globe. THE LIBERATED ROPE. Trick Which Can Be Easily Done When You Know How, But Which Mystifies the Audience. Take a stout rope about 20 feet long, and hand it to your audience for inspection. After they have examined it, let one of them bind your wrists together with a handkerchief. This being done, have one end of the rope passed over the handkerchief, and let the cords then be held up by one of the company. Now request the person holding the ends to pull one way, while you pull the other, to show that the handkerchief is tightly tied. There is apparently no way of getting the rope off, except when the ends are HOW THE TRICK IS DONE. released or the handkerchief untied. You soon explode this idea, however, for after making one or two rapid movements of your hands and arms, you throw the rope off and exhibit your wrists still tied. Wonderful as this all seems it is very simple, and requires but little practice, as shown clearly by the accompanying illustration, says the People's Home Journal. The part of the rope marked "A." is rolled between the wrists, until it works up through the handkerchief and forms a loop, through which you pass one hand, and then by giving the rope a smart jerk it comes off easily. PETER AND HISTORY'S VISIT. One night come History with a roar, Knocking at Peter's bedroom door, "Peter," said it, "I've come to see Why you refuse to study me." And up it jumped with skill and grace, And sat right down on Peter's face. "Now tell me, Peter," then it cried, "What year Haroun Al Raschid died; And then tell me the month and day When the Armada passed away; And just who was Demosthenes. Tell me of Julull Caesar, please, And how about the clivil war. And what is meant by 'open door?' What do you know of Saladin? When Pasha asked him thin? Do you know what the Moros are? Tell me of the Juggernaut's car." So History went on until Peter began to feel real ill. "Alas" cried he, "I see that I Will have to study you or die." —Boston Globe. EAT A GOOD BREAKFAST. "There's another of those 'no breakfast' cranks," sniffed the cashier of a Business Woman's Lunch Room as she handed out change to a delicate-looking girl. "How do you know she is? Perhaps she's just anaemic?" she was asked. "Anaemic nothing," retorted the girl behind the cage. "She's just one of those people who won't learn sense from anything but doctor's bills. Wait a month or two and come back again and that girl will look like a different creature. In the meantime she will have been ill and her physician will have told her to eat a sensible meal before going to work. That's all that's the matter with most of these girls. They won't take the time to eat a real breakfast until they learn from experience that a business woman's morning meal is the foundation of her day's work. "I can spot a 'no breakfast crank' at a glance. Look at this one coming down the aisle. See those blue rings around her eyes and that peevish expression. That means no breakfast. See that comfortable, contented-looking woman over there? She works in one of the wholesale places downtown. Hasn't she fine rosy cheeks? And why? Because she eats her breakfast every morning like a man. Yes, like a man. I know what I'm talking about because I used to be behind the desk in a men's restaurant and most business men take care of themselves much better than working women do." The breakfast problem has become an almost universal stumbling block in the path of the business woman. She must solve the food question before she can hope either to do good work or to be happy in it. For, humiliating as it may seem, Brother Ass, as St. Francis called his interior mechanism, must be looked after and the inner man and woman must be properly fed if the outer one is to face life with the right amount of health and spirit. And, speaking of spirit, let me put in a few words about breakfast and the higher life. Some people have come to believe that by omitting the morning meal they can raise themselves to spiritual heights unattainable to the person whose appetite is satisfied. Perhaps they can. Let us hope so. But in the meantime the ordinary business woman will find that she can better fulfil the day's duties, add to the comfort of others and have vitality left to help along the weaker ones if she looks after her own health and eats a good breakfast. RULES OF ETIQUETTE. Boy Gets His Best Training in Manners at Home and Mother Should Remember This. In answer to several letters received this week, I want to say a few words in regard to etiquette for boys and young men. The best training school for a boy's deference towards women is, undoubtedly, in his own home. A boy who learns to wait upon his mother gallantly, and to be courteous to his sisters, will need very little training in regard to social matters, except, perhaps, in small conventionalities. When a young man meets a woman or young girl to whom he has been introduced he should await her recognition, as it is always the woman's privilege to how first. A man should lift his hat when bowing to a woman; when, in walking with a woman, he bows to another man of his acquaintance; when bowing to a man who is walking with a woman who bows to any men of her acquaintance; or, when walking with men, they bow to a woman they know, even though she is a stranger to him. A man should always stand with uncovered head when speaking with a woman, and he should lift his hat whenever he is offering any act of courtesy to a woman, whether she is a stranger or acquaintance. In walking with a woman a man should not offer his arm, and under no circumstances should he take her arm. In going upstairs a man should precede a woman; in going down the order is reversed. A man should never smoke in the presence of a woman without her permission. Adjuncts of Beauty. If you have not face or features that are strictly beautiful give attention to certain adjuncts of beauty. Take the matter of the hands, for instance: Have you made the most of yours? Soft, white hands, with well-shaped, rosy nails, are an attraction not to be lightly considered. I know a woman very homely as to features, but with such beautiful hands they are always noticed, commented on and remembered, though her face never attracts a second glance. An Evening Amusement. An amusement for an evening is to cut out pretty, suggestive pictures from magazines or advertisements, mount the guests and pass face downward to the guests. Provide pencils and request that a story be written in 15 minutes on the subject drawn. Collect the papers and read the effusions, taking a vote as to the best narrative, the most pathetic, most thrilling, etc. Award as many prizes as you wish. Candy boxes in books form may be given.-Madame Merri. Neck Ribbons There is a fancy for neck ribbons of becoming colors that tie a little at one side and toward the back of the neck. This is a revival of an 'old fashion. CHILD'S VEST: CROCHET. This Nice Little Garment of Conitert Is Not Hard to Make—Full Directions Given.

Turn and work a double crochet with one chain between into every other stitch to end of chain; turn with one chain, a double crochet in the end stitch, and one in the chain-stitch following, then *, a chain over the double crochet, and a double crochet in the next chain and repeat from * to end of row. Work seven more rows like the last, always turning with one chain and always making a double crochet at each end of the work.

Work as many more full rows as may be required for the width of the shoulder piece, then leave about two inches (more or less according to the size of vest) at the top unworked and return as before. Work rows of this length (always making the ninth one short) for width of vest from shoulder to shoulder. Add as many chain to the top of the last made row as will bring up the stitches to the same number as commenced with, and work a second shoulder piece to match the first (half of vest). Work a second half like the first; join the sides (leaving openings for armholes) and the tops of the shoulder with single crochet. Round the top work two trebles with one chain between into the first stitch, $^*$, pass over one, two trebles with one chain between in the next and repeat from $^*$.

A hostess who wished to announce the engagement of a friend devised this pretty method. Only the very close friends of the girl in question were asked, eight in number. While they were seated around the dining-room table over the chocolate cups, the hostess produced a small jeweler's box sealed, and looking most interesting, as such packages always do. She said the package had been sent to her with the word if no instructions came by a certain hour that she was to open it and the owner would claim the contents. The uncovering of the box revealed a diamond solitaire. Of course all the girls exclaimed, and all but one disclaimed any knowledge of the circlet. Then the hostess said: "Here's to, the bride-to-be, All smiling bright and fair; And here's to those who'd like to be, If they only knew when and where." and placed it upon the blushing owner's finger. Congratulations and questions were then in order, and there was no need of any further entertainment scheme.—Madame Merri. Aching Feet. Aching feet are the particular torment of many sufferers.

WAS WITHIN HIS RIGHTS. An Argument That Admitted of Sana Disputes Ques- The Naggsbys were entertaining, and to be entertained by the Naggsbys is a liberal education in the art of bickering, and making things generally uncomfortable for everyone present, relates the Bystander. One of the guests was engaged in the gentle and alluring amusement of criticising an absent friend. "Well," he said, "he's the meanest, stingiest man I ever knew; in fact, I don't think there's another man in the world who is so mean—" "Oh, I don't know" interrupted Naggsby, "I know a tall order, you know, I think I know a stingier man. There's my father-in-law, for instance—" This acted like a red flag on Mrs. Naggsby. "Look here," she snapped, "you're all always backbiting your father-in-law! I simply won't stand it!" "Oh, pooh, pooh!" rejoined Naggsby. "He's my father-in-law, not yours. Just you wait until I say something about yours before you begin to talk!" That was at eight o'clock, and at 11:30 they were still at it, and going stronger than ever. DOCTOR CURED OF ECZEMA.

The Spring Wheat Areas Are Rapidly Increasing. It is only a few short years since the impression prevailed that a large portion of the Canadian West was unfitted for agriculture. To such an extent did this impression prevail that districts larger than European principalities were devoted solely to ranching purposes, and flocks and herds roamed the ranges. But the agriculturist was doing some hard thinking, and gradually experiments were made, slowly at first, but surely later on. As a result, to-day in Southern Alberta, which was looked upon as the "arid belt," large quantities of the finest winter wheat in the world are now grown, and so satisfied are the farmers and buyers that the industry has passed the experimental stage that elevators by the score have been erected in the past two years and others are in course of erection, to satisfy the demands that will be made upon them in the near future. Manitoba "No. 1 Hard" spring wheat has achieved a world-wide reputation, and there can be no question that ere long "No. 1 Hard" winter wheat from Alberta will attain similar repute. The great market for this production will undoubtedly be the Orient, and, with increased railway facilities and the erection of additional elevators and flouring mills, a largely increased acreage will be broken to winter wheat. The increase of population in Southern Alberta in the past year has been largely due to settlers from the United States, who have brought in capital, and enterprise, and who have been uniformly successful in their undertakings. A few more such years of growth and "Turkey Red" winter wheat will wave from Moose Jaw to the foothills. Information regarding lands in the Fall and Spring Wheat belts may be obtained of any Canadian government agent. New Explosive. There is another new explosive for the destruction of navies and armies. It is named "vigorit." Fire does not explode it, but burns up. It is safe against both friction and concussion.

FACIAL PARALYSIS Nervous Distortion of Face Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. What appears to be a slight nervous attack may be the forerunner of a severe disorder. No nervous sufferer should neglect the warning symptoms, but should see that the starved nerves are nourished before the injury to the delicate organism has gone to an extent that renders a cure a difficult matter. The nerves receive their nourishment through the blood, the same as every other part of the body, and the best nerve* mic and food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The experience of Mr. Harry Benis, of Truthville, Washington county, N. Y., substantiates this. "I had been feeling badly for a long time," said Mr. Bemis, "and in the early part of September, 1902, I was compelled to quit work on account of my ill health. My trouble was at first extreme nervousness, then my sight became affected and I consulted an oculist who said I was suffering from paralysis. He created me for some time, but I got no benefit. I tried another doctor and again failed to obtain any relief. My nervousness increased. Slight noises would almost make me wild. My mouth was drawn so I could scarcely eat and one eye was affected so I could hardly see. I had very little use of my limbs, in fact I was almost a complete wreck. "I am all right now and am at work. That is because I followed my wife's advice and took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She had used the same remedy herself with the most gratifying results and she persuaded me to try them when it appeared that the doctors were unable to help me. They acted very surely in my case; my face came back into shape and in time I was entirely well." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugstores or by mail by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. A booklet on Nervous Disorders sent tree on request. PARKER'S HEADACHE POWDERS QUICKLY CURE HEADACHE, NEURALGIA AND FEVERS. Price 10. Thousands use and indorse their CONTAIN NO Narcotics. Sold for twenty rams. BY REV. WILLIAM EVANS, B. D. Director Biblical Department of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago; Official Lecturer of the Cook County (Chicago) Sunday School Association on the International 3. S. Lessons.) (Copyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Scripture Lesson: Matthew 4:1-11. Golden Text: "In all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." Already in our study of the life of Christ, we have Him in His relation to man and earth. (His birth, Matt. 1); and in His relation to God and Heaven (his baptism, Matt. 3). In this lesson we see Christ in His relation to Satan and the world of evil. Immediately after the Heavenly testimony at Jordan we find the Messiah "driven by the Spirit into the wilderness." The language of the text leads us to believe firmly that Temptation Is No Accident. It is a part of God's plan for our development. It was an item in God's programme for Christ; it is also in the programme of every man. Temptation is inevitable. The unspotted holiness of Christ did not exempt Him from the fiercest assaults of the devil; nor can any goodness of ours make us proof against the fiery darts of the evil one. Life itself is a great temptation. To exist, to be, is to be in the hands of the temper. No man can speak in bated breath about sneaking into Heaven without any temptation. No man has ever done that. Search the Scriptures, study biography, and see. I must be tried, tempted, assailed, thrown down, browbeaten, wounded, stamped upon. Jesus Christ can be of absolutely no service to the man who is not undergoing testing and trial. Temptation Is a Compliment. Temptation is a Compulsion. It is good for us to know that we are worth being tempted. How proud God was of Job because the devil found something in Him worth contesting for. Boys do not break into orchards where there is no fruit. So long as men are willing to rest satisfied with the grosser things of life and do not aspire towards a higher and better life Satan is not bothering himself much about them. If you are not being tempted, then begin to worry. If you are passing through fiery tests, thank God and take courage. Metal to be pure must pass through the crucible. Temptation Is Not Sin. This distinction must be carefully borne in mind. Temptation becomes sin only when harbored and indulged in. The old saying, "We cannot prevent the birds flying over our heads but we can prevent them building nests in our hair," is fittingly applicable with regard to temptation. I cannot prevent wrong thoughts, for instance, coming into my mind, but I can refuse to allow them to lie on my tongue as a sweet morsel. It is the indulgence of temptation which becomes sin. Could Jesus Christ Have Sinned? Was Christ's temptation a real temptation? Could He really have sinned? Of course it was. Of course He could. Otherwise, where would be the comfort for us in this story? Christ was "tempted in all points like we are;" "He suffered in being tempted; and that very fact makes his "able to succor those who are tempted." Satan is not foolish enough to waste ammunition on a man when there is no possibility of the man's surrender. His satanic majesty is far too wise for that. Men Need Not Sin. There is no imperative for our yielding to temptation. We can overcome just as Christ overcame. In fact, this wilderness conflict with the evil one was for the purpose of revealing to us not only the nature of the powers of darkness, but also the secret of victory over all the hosts of wickedness. Satan may place us on a pinnacle of temptation, but he cannot cast us down. We must cast ourselves down. We have the deciding vote in the matter. What makes sin awful is the fact that as we look back over our wrongdoing we are forced to make the admission that not one of these acts of sin was necessary. How Christ Overcame Temptation. How Christ Overcame Temptation. One noticeable thing about the answers of Christ to the appeals of satan is that they were written answers. They were not the result of any dazzling originality, any superior powers of mind and intellect to which we human beings lay no claim. Christ overcame not because He possessed a reader wit than ours, nor because he was endowed with a moral courage and force unique and impossible to mankind. Nor did these answers come to Christ on the spur of the moment—answers that had never been used before and never could be again. The answers of Christ rest on quotations they are flashes from the Divine Word; they are answers that had been given before. They were shafts that had gone quivering from many a previous bow. In His conflict with Satan Christ used the "Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God." How We May Overcome. If we would overcome temptation-let us follow Christ's example. Let us not try to be original, but be willing to quote from the same Divine treasury; don armor from the same armory. David had used the same weapons, for he said: "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee." We should read, study, know and use God's Word in order that we may be successful in our conflict with the powers of darkness. An ounce of patience beats a ton of profanity. Swift & Company The total distributive sales for 1905 exceeded $200,000,000. This total is realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-products derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. The industry is operated on a margin of less than 2 cents to each dollar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughterers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competition with the packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in competition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories, and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. Economic Advantages. The large packing houses will, however, always have these advantages: Locations at the chief live stock centers, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of expense; utilization of all waste material; refrigeration; mechanical appliances; highly efficient business management. These advantages are reflected in the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development in the products bearing the name and brand of "Swift." Purchasing Live Stock. The principal live stock centers are Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St "Does anything that goes on really appeal to you as being entirely right?" said th great man's friend.

At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers, local slaughterers in various cities, and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company. The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commission firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commission dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates. All buying must be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer, and naturally strives to get the highest possible price for his client. Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the insides being lined—floor, walls and ceiling—with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered daily with fresh sawdust and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses in various cities of the United States, and the public is always welcome to visit them. All the Swift & Company plants are located at the great live stock markets, in the heart of the great agricultural sections, where can be purchased the finest grades of cattle, sheep and hogs. We have seven packing plants, employing at each from two to eight thousand persons. The following gives the locations and sizes of the different plants.

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAYS "Laziness and shiftlessness; these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put together. The Colored MAN WHO FAILS TO CONDEMN CRIME IN ANOTHER COLORED MAN, WHO FAILS TO CO-OPERATE IN ALL LAWFUL WAYS IN BRINGING COLORED CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE, IS THE WORST ENEMY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race then its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home are as vital to the welfare of the black race as they are to the welfare of every race.—Theodore -Roosevelt. F. C. B., J. M. T. AND F. L. T.
