ST LOUIS PALLADIUM The St. Louis Palladium Is Now the Official Organ of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. Also the A. U. K. and D. of A. in the West. WRIGHT & BOLEN. Druggists. New Telephone Number: Central 5205 LEARN IT NOW. Vol. XXII. No. 38. [Name] S. T. PETTEGREW, Was elected Grand Master of the United Brother of Friendship and S. M. T. U.B.F. & S.M.T. The grand lodge closed its session last Saturday at 11:30 a. m., after transacting much important business. On Tuesday the joint session of the U. B. F. & S. M. T. was held to listen to the address of welcome by the mayor, but he failed to appear. Prof. S. T. Pettigrew, who presided, introduced Mr. J. H. Williams in the name of the order of U. B. F. & S. M. T., who delivered the welcome address, which was responded to by Rev. G. N. Jackson. Miss Macie Peach represented the temples in the address of welcome, and it was responded to by Prof. J. H. Garnett of Jefferson City, who concluded by extending an invitation to the order to hold the next session in that city, after which other reports were read by the grand treasurer, secretary and board of managers. At the close Mrs. Arlivia Watson read her report. She is secretary of the Grand Temple. It was one of the most touching and reasoning reports that was ever delivered in a grand session. She pointed out the days when men and women thought it degrading to become members of the order. She showed and quoted with the reasoning of Demosthenes. Some who at that time stood up and held aloft the banner of the U. B. F., and who at this time had fallen by the way side, and on account of age were not eligible to membership in the order. Thus, reasoning from cause to effect, she won the body in joint session. After closing, on motion that the report be referred to the proper committee. At this point J. W. Wheeler rose to speak on the motion. He said: "I am glad of this opportunity to speak in behalf of one of the most touching reports that I have ever heard." Mrs. Katie Moore, who is worthy princess, pointed out in her report the duty of woman, and the power that she wields in this world, and also the need of woman in the avenues of this life. Such was her reasoning power that tears came to the eyes of every man who had a spark of humanity in him. Both the report of Mrs. Watson and that of Mrs. Moore should be printed in pamphlet form, that every member of the order could read it. The same was referred to the proper committee. This ended one of the most prosperous grand lodge joint sessions that was ever held. Thursday morning the Grand Temple opened and routine business gone through. The committees all reported and were discharged. At 3 o'clock the grand secretary proceeded to elect officers, with the following result: Prof. S. T. Pettigrew, grand master; J. H. Williams, grand secretary; Prof. J. B. Coleman, assistant grand secretary; C. C. Hubbard, endowment secretary; Dr. O. C. Quinn, grand treasurer; Rev. J. W. Boone (blind), grand chaplain, Board of managers—Dr. J. T. Caston, Jefferson City; Prof. B. K. Bruce, Brunswick; Prof. Blanton, Kansas City, Mo.; Capt. C. H. Tandy, St. Louis, Mo. The Grand Temple elected Mrs. Katie Moore, grand princess; Mrs. Hattie Williams; V. W. Princess; Arlivia Watson, grand secretary. This closed the work of the Grand Lodge and Temple. The officers of the Grand Temple and Grand Lodge were installed Friday night by Capt. C. H. Tandy and ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,SEPTEMBER 1,1906. Miss Clara Scull of Texas, after which J. W. Wheeler introduced Rev. Thos. H. Phillips, who spoke in glowing terms of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. At the conclusion of his remarks the A. B. Moore drill corps of St. Louis were introduced and gave a competitive drill under command of Mr. L. W Fields, which was very creditable. The Olive Leaf drill corps, under command of Mrs. Mary Monroe, also gave one. This drill corps also acquitted themselves well, and they looked like women of war. The members of the Grand Lodge were so highly impressed that on motion of G. Jones Branch, the Grand Lodge donated $50 to Olive Leaf drill corps and $15 to the A. B. Moore juvenile drill corps. The same was sec onded by J. W. Wheeler, who spoke at some length upon the company and the future growth of such a drill corps. This closed one of the most successful gatherings that was ever held among colored men and women. We will bet peanuts to a doughnut that Prof. J. B. Coleman will act as grand secretary of the United Brother of Friendship this year. Why? You know, and if any one gets mad about this little thing, they had better not say so. AT REST WITH HER MAKER. The funeral of Mrs. Mattie Pryon, one of the most noted and prominent women in East St. Louis, was held this week. She was a patient sufferer for more than nine weeks at the residence of Mrs. Josephine Jones, 701 North Seventh street. Mrs. Pryon, who lived in Sheffield, Ala., was present at her bedside when she died. If money could have saved her the same would have been given by the husband, who loved his wife dearly. Mrs. Pryon was connected with more than a dozen societies, and in every one she has held every office in them. She was past worthy princess of the S. M. T., and worthy treasurer in the same temple for seventeen years; past high priestess in the Tabernacle of the Order of Knights of Tabor; she was past counselor of the Court of Cothelains of the Knights of Pythias. At her death she was treasurer of Rising Sun Council of A. U. D. of A. She was the best-known woman in Southern Illinois. Hers was one of the largest funerals that was ever witnessed in East St. Louis. The different orders had their undertakers, Russell of St. Louis; Williams of St. Louis and Brinkley of E. St. Louis all furnished carriages, flowers or casket. Russell got $137.50 on his part, Brinkley $60 on his part, and Williams had a hand in the affair. Thus closed the career of one of the most useful women among our people in East St. Louis. As Sister Josephine Jones was W. P. of the S. M. T., she had charge of the body, and conducted the funeral ceremonies. This was one of the saddest affairs that we have ever witnessed ITEMS FROM VARIOUS PLACES. All is well that ends well. Six thousand brothers and sisters will read the Palladium this year. The Palladium was voted to be the official organ of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. until the order began to publish a paper. The Grand Lodge remembers its old members. Father Wells was presented with $2,000, and Past Grand Master C. R. Foster was presented with $1,000. So far as the better class of citizens were concerned, they treated our people with due respect, except when the chief of police interfered with the right of our marshal. The delegates and members of the S. M. T. of South St. Louis had a grand time in Columbia last week. Mrs. Fields, True, Uband and Mrs. Bruen were very conspluous. One woman from South St. Louis, we will not mention her name, as she has been owing the Palladium about 70 cents for three years. Why the Palladium has fallen behind for about $69.99 is because such persons as the one on Colorada avenue and a hundred others in South St. Louis are all right, except some on Water street and Colorado avenue.

Read Carefully the Advertisements in this paper. OLEN. Mrs. William Frazier of Indiana is visiting her cousin, Mrs. P. Wing and Mrs. M. Barnett in Kirkwood. She will also visit her aunt, Mrs. Mattie Brown of Chicago, Ill. Married men and women ought to go with their equals and the young girls and boys alone; it is unbecoming for them to interfere with their little quarrels. There are a few of these people in the 2600 block on Lawton avenue. Mr. Perry Randall, of 1923 Division street, and Mr. Arthur Bolden, of 711 Rutger street, were among the number who went to Edwardsville, Ill., last Sunday as guests of Mr. and Mrs. McClain. Both were so impress-1 with the Illinois town that St. Louis may lose two good citizens. Mrs. Cahres E. Thornton, of 315 South Twenty-second street, expects to leave in a week or so to join her husband at Edwardsville, Ill., where they will reside. After living in St. Louis 15 years Mrs. Thornton returns to the scene of her childhood to live, Mr. and Mrs. Thornton will be glad to see their many friends, at any time. Their new address will be Edwardsville, Ill., P. O. box 8. Mrs. Alice Jones entertained Friday, the 24th, in honor of three newly married couples, namely, Mr. and Mrs. Mumford, the former a brother of Mrs. Jones; Mr. and Mrs. Perry Randall, and Mr. and Mrs. James Norwood. A very pleasant evening was spent. Just a few friends were present besides the Ladies N. D. S. club Mrs. Norwood was presented with a very nice set of table linen by the club, which seemed to be much appreciated. OFFICERS OF THE LAW IN CO. LUMBIA, MO. The procession of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. turned out Friday a.m. through the public thoroughfares. A man attempted to drive a buggy through the ranks, which was objected to by one of our marshals. At this point it is reported the chief of police rushed up to the marshal and drawing his revolver, said: "You d——d black Nigger, let that man through, or I will blow your d——d —— head off. The marshal, being unarmed, had no desire to resist an officer of the law. We were struck with amazement to hear of this, and to think right under the Athens of education for the white man, where all the sciences in that city, that such an occurrence should take place. The outrage was a disgrace to Columbia, Mo., and we hope to never meet with a like occurrence. The Negro of America has nothing to fear from the better class of people, and we will not believe that the act on the part of the chief of police is indored by the better class of Columbia's citizens. GRAND LODGE OF MASONS. Representatives returned home from Kansas City, Mo., after the greatest session of business ever held in the history of the grand lodge. St. Louis is blessed with more second men than any city in the Union. It has C. H. Henderson for deputy grand commander; S. Prince, deputy grand high priest; T. A. Jordan, deputy grand master. New business of this session was to raise the endement from $100 to $200, which naturally carried a raise of assessment in proportion. They also voted to buy a home for aged Masons and orphans, near Hannibal, Mo., for $5,000, which was referred to a special committee to purchase, composed of Grand Master C. G. Williams, Grand Secretary J. H. Pelham, Past Grand Master A. R. Chinn, Past Deputy Grand Master M. O. Rickets, Past Deputy Grand Master J. G. Severn, Our St. Louis representative informed us that the deal was closed Saturday, August 18, and will have possessions in thirty days. Fraternally, J. G. Severn, Deputy Grand Master, First District of Missouri, 2948 Fairfax. VISITORS FROM THE SOUTH. Mrs. H. Webster and Mrs. L.

They were well pleased with Chicago and St. Louis, but will leave for their home in the Sunny South tomorrow. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. "All is well that ends well," and we were happy at the T. C.'s picnic last Monday. We beheld the two together, and we were as happy as if it had been in our case. Our advice to the young: Live together and be happy, and the man or woman who says anything to the contrary is not your friend. What God joins together let no man, woman or mother-in-law put asunder. T. C. S. PICNIC. The gathering was fair, the weather being against them, still success met them. Mrs. Redick and her lovely daughter were looking the best in the world. She is a peach, and lovely to look upon. Mr. A. Wells of the South St. Louis. Shermen's club was looking on and wondering where so many sawed-off girls came from. Some were hardly 21-2 feet high, and as fat as pigs. Mr. Sam Brown, proprietor of the bar at 2311 Papin street, was a favorite among the girls. He is doing a good business at the above number, and the girls know it. Mrs. Anna Johnson of South St Louis was looking as happy as women get to be. She is all O. K. The dashing Mrs. Noah Warrington was in her diamonds, looking like the Queen of England. She is up to date in all things. Mrs. Alexander of 1625 South Third street was there, in company with the pretty Mrs. Harry Denny, who looks like a girl of sweet 16. She is now as happy as women get to be. Mrs. Sonny Mack of 26 South Fourteenth street was there, in company with her lady friends. They enjoyed themselves sumptuously. Misses Mamie and Buelah Fountain of North St. Louis, be careful. The rounders are after you. Keep in your place, and do not allow those scoundrels to talk to you. Mrs. Pool and Mrs. Ames and others were out. I thought she had false hair, but it was all O. K. They enjoyed themselves. The waitress at 2811 Manchester avenue was having a good time. You know how far to go. Keep in the middle of the road. The merry-go-round made plenty of money out of our senseless men and women. Mr. Harry Denny was best man last Monday night. Why was it? You ought to know. Ask Gertrude, and hear what she has to say. Prof. Lucky was present and claims he carried off the prize of the T. C.'s club. We only have this to say: The parade the day before the picnic was composed of all the sporting element of St. Louis. Harry Denny, Fisherman's club, Magnolia bar and the little boy and girl from 2 to 4 feet high. Now Prof. Lucky was not at a cosmopolitan outing? Answer through the columns of the Palladium. NOTICE!

D., of Memphis, Tenn., is visiting friends in St. Louis. He accompanied a friend here who was to have an operation performed. The operation was successful, and both Dr. Pullen and his friend speak in highest terms of our physicians. We wish him much success in his profession in Memphis. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Holt will soon return from a six weeks' vacation in New York and other eastern cities. Next Tuesday the public schools will open their doors. We hope that the schools will be crowded with children. C. H. TANDY. Was re-elected a member of the Board of Management of the U. B. and S. M. T. ST. LOUIS DRILL CORPS AGAiN IN FAVOR. At Lexington the local committee offered a prize for the best drill corps. St. Louis Olive Leaf drill corps was present, also one from Louisville, Ky., but refused to drill, having seen the St. Louis company. Mrs. Mary Monroe, who is captain of the Olive Leaf drill company, gave a competitive drill, which entitled them to the first prize of $50. Yet this body of Kentuckians only gave them $25. Poor old Kentuckians. See what the Grand Lodge of the state of Missouri did. Olive Leaf drill corps went to Columbia without an offer, and gave a competitive drill, as did the "A. B." juvenile corps, which was a grand success in every particular. The Grand Lodge gave to this company $50, the Grand Temple $15, and donated $3, making a total of $68 given for their excellent drilling. The "A. B." Moore juvenile drill corps received from the local lodge the first prize, which was $7.50. The Grand Lodge gave to them $15, and the Grand Temple $15. Let the Kentuckians look and consider, and instead of giving each lodge and temple in that city $90 each, they should have paid their just debts to visiting drill corps which drilled in their midst, and which held 12,000 spectators in the grandstand. In Lexington, Ky., at the National Grand Lodge, the National Grand Temple asked the National Grand Lodge for $600. This they refused, and only paid six of their officers, which amounted to less than $300. This is an outrage. A. B. JNO. S. MYERS, PRES.

He Declares There Must Be No Mis taking’ of Issues, and No Con- fusion of the Line of Battle. Siew ON ere ors ES Sears fe entry into New New York was a series of ovations, beginning with his landing at the Battery at 4 p. m., and reaching an early climax when he ar- rived at the Victoria hotel, Twenty- seventh street and Broadway, an hour and fifteen minutes later. Here the home-coming Nebraskan was fairly mobbed by the thousands of persons who had gathered outside the hotel entrances, and the hundreds who had forced their way into the corridors. Finally, an entrance was effected by the police, and Mr. Bryan reached the lobby stairs. He was halted and called upon for a speech, and the crowd surged about him, cheering lus- tily all the while. A Few Remarks. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “I believe that later this evening 1s the time for me to make a speech, and you must not expect one now. When a man is in difficulty, he has a right to call upon his friends for assist- ance. I am in difficulty now. I am trying to get home, but I have been traveling so much of late that for the life of me 1 can hardly tell where home is.” “In Washington,” cal’ed an enthust- astic auditor. “Some said it was in Missouri,” add- ed Mr. Bryan, amid laughter. “I've about come to the conclusion that if I find friends like this everywhere, 1 don’t care where home fs. Soon I am going to take another course in col: lege, for at a recent gathering in Lon don, where several languages were spoken, I felt constrained to make ex- cuses because I could speak but one. But I, would” have -to know every lan- guage in the world to teli you how much I thank you.” Mr. Bryan then shook hands with a few personal friends. This was the signal for a general rush, and the Ne- braskan was almost swept out of the ‘Twehty-seventh street entrance of the hotel before the poilee could stem the tide. ‘The reception lasted for more than an hour. Mr. Bryan then retired to his apartments, and had dinner with his family and a few intimate friends. He then took a brief rest before pro ceeding to Madison Square Garden for the feature event of his stay in New York. At the Garden. The doors of Madison Square Gar. den were opened at 5:30 p. m. The immense auditorium began to fill up quickly. It was a gay-spirited, big, good-natured audience which had a cheer for every one. ‘The “Nebraska Bryan's Home Folks” arrived in body, and were given seats just back of the speaker's stand. Before the meeting was called to or- der a band played merrily suck tunes as “Maryland,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Way Down Upon the Suwa, nee River,” ana other melodies of the south cased tumultuous applause. But when the first strains of “Dixie” ‘were sounded, the thousands of Bryan welcomers were on their feet in an instant, and the cheers completely drowned the band. Mr. Bryan Arrives. When this joint demonstration had but partly subsided, Mr. Bryan, ac companied by his wife, entered the garden, and appeared on the platform. The crowd, which had been 80 free in its cheering before, was now fairly beside itself. For five minutes the crowd had howled, cheered and screamed, but eventually Chairman Johnson secured comparative quiet, and introduced Augustus Thomas, whose every reference to Mr. Bryan called for additional cheers. Chair- man Johnson then arose to introduce Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan declared the trusts were the paramount issue, favored an in- come tax, independence for the Philip- pines, government ownership of rail- way trunk lines, and arbitration be- No Political Reasons.

London. — Col. John Lam- bert, the Chicago capitalis:, who has just returned to Loudon trom a tour of the continent, in an intarviaw ub- lished in the Daily Mail, expresses the belief that unless Great Britain adopts Chamberlainism she must 0 out of business. Col. Lambert said that both France and Germany are more prosper21s than Great Britain, and especiatly Germany, owing to Emperor William's surpassing gifts as a ruler. The kaiser, he said, has put ‘er- many in the way of becoming tie richest nation in Europe, has perfect- ed the finest army on the continent, and was laying the foundations of one of the greatest fleets afloat. His con- sular service, Col. Lamberet said, was an unmatched triumph, and behind it subsidized railways and steamships, methodically fostered trusts and a tar- iff like a Chinese wall. ‘ “It we are not careful,” Cal. Lam- bert added, “he will lick out out of our boots all over the world.” TURNED DOWN IN MISSOURI.

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 orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW.

Happenings in Missouri. School Books of Eighty Years Ago. Charles P. Tutt, of Bunceton, Cooper county, has in his possession two home-made school text-books, which his grandfather, Philip A. Tutt, of the well-known Tutt family of St. Louis, used in teaching school in Missouri in 1820, over 80 years ago. The books are works on arithmetic as taught at that time. The larger volume contains 264 pages and is carefully and substantially bound in home-tanned leather. The leaves are sewed in with stout home made thread, and a part of the buckskin string used to tie the covers of the book together still remains. To thoroughly appreciate this book, it must be understood that it is written, not printed, and that the work is done with goose quills and homemade ink. The ink was of such excellent quality that it has faded but little, and the work throughout is a model of neatness. The penmanship is first-class. In the different divisions of the book are sub-heads, the lettering being done in a most artistic manner, the letters being fully an inch high and carefully shaded. The name on the fly-leaf of the book shows that it was made by John Jameson Barbee. Posted on the inside front cover is a part of a paper, bearing date of August 8, 1820. One heading, in bold letters, is "The Single Rule of Three Direct," and under this, as under all rules, are problems which have been worked out. "Tare and Trett" is the subject of another division, and such expressions as "case ye," followed by the numeral, are noticeable. Charged With Periury. At the conclusion of a preliminary examination before United States Commissioner Peppardine, James B. Dodson, an attorney of Springfield, who was arrested several days ago on the charge of making false affidavit in the entry of 40 acres of land in Christian county, was held to the federal grand jury in $600 bond. Dodson, who is quite wealthy, promptly furnished bond. George Dumaw and Arch W. Talbert, both of Springfield, who are alleged to have made false affidavits in support of the entry claim made by Dodson, were also held to the grand jury, their bonds being fixed at $600. Both are prominent citizens of Springfield. J. D. Trusty, of Houston, Texas county, was also before the commissioner on a charge of making false affidavit in a soldier's additional homestead claim, and was held to the federal grand jury in bond of $1,000. Trusty's case has no connection with the Dodson case. Highest Price for Mule Colt. Highest Price for Mule Colt. Callaway county, which has long led the state in mules, has established a new record. Jacob Maddox & Son, east of McCredite, bought a mare mule colt for $150, doubtless the highest price paid for a suckling mule colt this year. Several years ago Jacob Maddox paid $250 for a mule colt, showed it at different county fairs and then disposed of it at a good profit, but, with that exception the purchase of the colt at $150 is likktly the highest price ever paid the Maddox firm for a suckling mule. The other two colts that formed the trio Mr. Maddox took such a fancy to were also purchased by the firm, they having paid $100 each for them, making the price paid for the three colts $350. Surveys to Be Completed. Surveys to Be Completed The United States geological survey has recently sent to Missouri a party, of which C. G. Anderson has charge, to complete the topographic survey of the Forsythe quadrangle, which covers parts of Christian, Taney and Stone counties. About 700 square miles of this area were mapped last year and about 300 square miles will be mapped this year to complete the survey in hand. In continuation of surveys begun last year at the request of Representative Lloyd, of the First congressional district, the survey has placed in the field a topographic surveying party, with T. F. Slaughter in charge, to map an area of about 225 square miles in Macon and Shelby counties. A Missouri Eugitive Caught A deputy United States Marshal of St. Joseph, arrested Henry Steeie, alias Jack White, on a charge of robbing and burning the postoffice in Bernard, Mo., several months ago. Steeie, the officers say, has been a fugitive since he escaped from a Missouri jail. He was found on a farm near Wayne, Neb., where he has been working several weeks. Major Salmon Injured. While walking in his sleep recently Maj. H. W. Salmon fell down a long flight of stairs at his home at Clinton and received a dislocation of his wrist and bruises which confined him to bed. His physician, in going to the Salmon home, fell into a ditch and broke one of his fingers. Compulsory School Law: State Superintendent Carrington has sent out suggestions to school boards and to the parents of children of school age. Among the things to which especial attention is called is the compulsory education law, enacted at the last session of the general assembly. Who Can Tell. Why is it that everybody in a county seat town wants to eat watermelons and throw the rinds in the courthouse yard? Prizes For Corn Growers. The prizes that will be awarded at the annual State Corn Show to be held in Columbia in January have been fixed and their aggregate value, including the prizes to be awarded in the Boy's contest at the State Fair is approximately $1,000.00. They consist largely of cash prizes, but also include certain silver trophies and valuable farm implements. The state board of agriculture, the state fair board, the Jamestown exposition commission, the Columbia Commercial club and the various implement manufacturers have united in giving Missouri farmers a list of premiums that is worthy of their best efforts. The state fair board offers prizes for corn raised by young men from 15 to 20 years of age and for boys under 15. The state board of agriculture offers prizes in the same class. The Jamestown Exposition commission offers a number of sweepstake prizes for the best white and yellow corn. The Columbia Commercial club has given $200 for premiums in the various classes. It is believed that if the remainder of the season is favorable this list of premiums will bring out the finest display of corn ever seen in Missouri. Game Chickens as Mousers. Game Chickens as Mousers. Frank Ramsay, a chicken fancier of Jefferson City, has made the discovery that game chickens can be taught to rival cats as mice hunters. He is the owner of a game rooster that has taught mice killing to a brood of about 50 game chickens. Where the rooster acquired this knowledge Mr. Ramsay does not know. He was first apprised of it by finding the rooster almost choked to death from trying to swallow a mouse that was too large for his throat. Following this discovery, he watched the chickens more closely. As the young ones grew up they acquired a taste for mice, and now they are all wonderfully expert in catching these little rodents, and hunt for them with as much show of zeal as a cat exhibits in the same pursuit. How The State Has Grown. How The State Has Grown. The first federal census of Missouri was taken in the year 1810, according to which the state at that time had 20,845 inhabitants. The census of 1900 disclosed that there were 3,106,665 men, women and children in Missouri. Conservative estimates place the population at the close of 1905 at 3,603,731. At the same ratio the population in 1910, when the next official census is taken, will be 4,100,797. Following is the population of Missouri by decades, commencing with 1810: Population 1810, 20,845; 1820, 66,586; 1830, 140,455; 1840, 383,702; 1850, 682,044; 1860, 1,182,912; 1870, 1,721,295; 1880 2,168,380; 1890, 2,679,184; 1900, 3,106,665. Foreign immigration into Missouri for 1905 was 13,796. The State After Factories. Of the 16,000 manufacturing plants in Missouri, 800 of them have failed to make a report of their business to the state labor bureau as required by law. These reports are to be filed by March 1 each year and the penalty for failure is a fine not exceeding $200. Of the delinquent number 100 are in Kansas City and Jackson county. The state labor bureau has sent out notices to the prosecuting attorney of the different counties to prosecute these delinquents. A blank is sent by the bureau to each manufacturer on which the reports are to be made and filed. Printed As He Planned It Printed As He Planned It. When Willard J. McQuitty, editor of the Rocheport Democrat, died, he had in type all but about a column of what was to be the next issue of his paper. T. T. McKinney, who has bought the Democrat plant, issued a limited edition of this last number of Mr. McQuitty's paper, which he did not live to publish. The paper is just as its editor planned it, with the exception that the column left open on the first page is taken up with an announcement by Mr. McKinney of his purchase of the plant. Stole the Preacher's Peaches. The most depraved man on record is the one at Downing, who, while the minister was at church, stole all the peaches from the clergyman's trees. Jail as a Summer Resort. A prisoner confined in the Monticello jail had an electric fan and telephone placed at his service and declares he has the best summer resort in the state. The Observer, a new weekly newspaper, has been started in St. Joseph. C. F. Cochran is its editor. The Champion Badish A Fayette farmer raised a radish that weighed six pounds and was not "pithy." An Ancient Umbrella. A.B. Price, of Columbia, carries a magnificent umbrella which he has had for 50 years. It is 65 years old and was made to the order of his father, Dr. Edwin Price, a pioneer physician of Missouri. Stole a Woman's Clothes. While a Burlington passenger train was passing through Cameron Junction some very mean person pulled a screen from the window of a Pullman sleeper and stole the clothing of a woman passenger.

The Republicans of Missouri have placed a strong ticket in the field for the consideration of the voters. So far the state ticket is the best, and no Republican should doubt it. If every Republican will do his duty the ticket will be elected, along with the Congressmen from the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth congressional districts. The Republican state committee and the city central committee should place true and tried speakers in the field to speak for the people, that they may know the issues before them. For the next two months, September and October, the subscription for the U. B. F. & S. M., also the A. U. K. & D. of A. will be $1.25 a year in advance. Now is the time to get the best Negro paper in the west, published by Negro men. The Palladium takes a high moral stand for the race and is fearless. It publishes the good and the bad, regardless of individuals. Preachers, doctors, business men and the common laboring men have the same show in the Palladium. If you are not right, it will tell the people; if you are good, it will say: "Behold the upright man, or woman." Now send in your $1.25 and get the Palladium for one year. This week while out collecting on Cook avenue, we went to a place in a cellar where a lady had been taking the Palladium, and she liked it. But a Negro who was her husband was reading a book while his wife was ironing white people's clothes. She said, "This is for the Colored paper." He looked as grum as a bulldog and said, "Here is your 55 cents; don't send that paper here any more." I said all right. Out I went. This Negro, who is about to get a position in the postoffice, ought to care for his wife in a better way than living in a cellar, while he plays the dude and his wife makes his living. The grand lodge of the state of Missouri and its jurisdiction of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. by unanimous consent selected as their official organ the St. Louis Palladium until they begin to publish a paper of their own. By this act of the grand lodge 6,000 more read are added to the St. Louis Palladium. A great victory for the manager, J. W. Wheeler. Mr. Charles H. Wheeler, general solicitor and collector for the Palladium. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Famale Troubles. PETER H. HON. CHAS. NIEDRINGHAUS. Now that the chairman of the state committee is back, we shall expect the same victory that we had two years ago. Let every republican do his duty. Congressman R. Bartholdt at the Tenth district, Congressman Henry Coudy of the Twelfth district, or Congressman Henry Scaufield of the Eleventh district will, or ought to get every Negro vote that they may be elected. As the election day draws near, the Palladium will enter the political field for the success of the republican party. The Palladium will reach in the state any county where our people are, and we hope to thunder forth the true doctrine of the republican party from now till election day in November. We want to get a political editor. C. H. Tandy and others will aid us. We will be heard at all times. HAVE YOU SENT YOUR DOLLAR? HAVE YOU SENT YOUR DOLLAR? TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman, P. O. Box 2063, New York. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

(5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. Our Advertisers Are All Reliable And You Will Be Benefited By Patronizing Them. THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistence with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. What some of our race desires is the "squashing" of any incident detrimental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it expects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the removal of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth without consideration of class or favor. It has been in vogue since 1883, and the manager is too well versed in the laws of journalism to publish an article criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. SADDLE HORSES AT STATE FAIR Missouri to Lead Kentucky in Future The board of directors has extended the classification of saddle horses and increased the premiums. A premium is offered this year for the best high school horse, mare or gelding, and these fancy actors are coming from all over the state. All saddle classes are open to the world, and Kentucky will enter her best animals in competition with the product of Missouri breeders. The winnings of Missouri saddlers at World's fair at Chicago in 1893, and at every great interstate contest since that time fully demonstrates the superiority of Missouri animals, and the coming contest at the State fair will, without doubt, confirm the claim to leadership. The National Saddle Horse Breeders' association offers a solid silver cup valued at $100 for the best saddler under two years old exhibited at the State fair. Every locality in the state where the breeding of saddle horses has been made a specialty will have an entry in this class, and Kentucky has selected her best youngsters and will send them to Missouri to compete for this prize. The best saddle horses in the United States will be at the State fair, and the best and largest exhibition ever made is assured. THE SAME GANG OF BEAUTIES. In passing the new Post cafe a few days ago we heard a voice saying, "They are lovely chums." We turned and there we beheld the three beauties, Mrs. Mable McCoy, Sweeetie Richardson (nee McGree), and another lady whose married name we know not. They were as lively as crickets and as sweet looking as women get to be. FOR SALE—Nine-room Lawton avenue house; hall, furnace and bath; $4,000.

The people are beginning to appreciate the fact that not only do they get full value for their money at out store, but in addition they are accorded polite and fair treatment, things they do not always get at other establishments. They are getting their eyes open. God blesses the ladies and don't forget the men. They are coming our way nicely. RANDALL & WELLS. The Ladies' Noonday Social club spent the day last Sunday at Edwardsville, Ill., and was splendidly entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Anthony McClain, and daughter, Miss Jessie. A sumptuous dinner was served at 2 p. m., to which the club and their friends did justice. The ladies returned Sunday evening much pleased with their trip.

Kent, the barber, has moved his barber shop from 11 North 14th street, to 1417 Market. A splendid location for a first-class barber shop.

Hair Dressing Not New or Experimental, but an Old, Reliable Preparation of Proven Merit. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an ideal Hair Pomade. It contains no strong, dangerous chemicals that can in any way injure the hair. You can use it just as long as you wish, or stop it any time without any bad effects. It does not affect the color of the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens harsh, stubborn, rebound hair, prevents it from becoming dry and brittle, and that it allows you to do it up in any style consistent with its length, at the same time giving it that rich, glossy look so much desired. As a Hair Grower we consider Nelson's Hair Dressing the equal of anything made by a hair drier, because it helps to the roots of the hair, softens and helps the hair, by removing dandruff and promoting the growth of the hair. Stops the hair from falling out, breaking off and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Diseases such as Titter, Itching and Scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Nelson's Hair Dressing is delightfully perfumed; put up in handmade acrylic cases, and is sprayed by druggists and agents at 25 cents a box. If you cannot find it in your town, send us 30 cents in stamps and we will mail you a full size box, postage paid. Address. Nelson Manufacturing Co., Richmond, Va. WE WANT GOOD AGENTS.

YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT IT, BUT BUILD UP YOUR OWN TRADE. One of the strangest things in life is the short-sighted Negro in business. ‘They think that as soon as a Negro sets up a business of any kind, that all Negroes should stop trading where they formerly traded, and flock to them. This is'a mistake, men and wo- men who go into business should not expect this, but go into business with the determination to build up a trade. ‘We are American citizens and on that NOTICE! plea we should have and keep our white friends, as well as our Negro friends. In many places where Ne- go men and women are doing business they charge more for their goods than the whites; then if you don’t pay it, they say you have no race pride. Now is the time that becomes broad- minded and we should be considerate in all things. Pupils Wanted—I will teach you to play the piano in six weeks.

Notwithstanding the falling of the rain Sunday morning, the audience at Providence Baptist church was large. At the evening service everybody turned out in full foree, and the inter- est was unusually good. Dr. Cole and Prof. J. Arthur Free- man left Wednesday morning for Quincy, Ill. to be present at the Wood River association. Prof. Freeman easily stands at the head of the music- al world in the west, and is the organ- ist of Providence Baptist church. He accompanies Dr. Cole for a little rest ‘before school opens. | We are informed that Providence Baptist church did not unite with either faction of Berean association ‘at their last meeting, ‘This church was duly organized and unanimously recognized by the Bap- tists of St. Louis, and yet we are in- formed that certain papers in St. Louis are endeavoring to cripple it, but with such a man at the head of the helm as Dr. Cole there is no need to fear. Dr. Cole informs us that he expects to apply himself earnestly to his church work, and have nothing to do with the Baptist fight in St. Louis. ‘This great man of God has spent five of the best years of his ministry try- ing to unite the Baptists of St. Louis, so the“bactle is left for others who have more time and energy for such things. “WHAT'S THE USE TO FRET?” Water will not wet, Humbug can't be beaten And so what's the use to fret? Tea a deadly poison Cured in copper dye, Sugar bleached in acids, Coffee two-thirds rye— Soap-grease in the butter, Cheat in all you get, Humbug can’t be beaten, And so what's the use to fret? Hard old shells of cocoa Ground to powder fine, Mixed with good, black pepper, Half and half’s the chime; Consumption in potatoes, Hot fever in the meat, Polson in the candy, And in everything you eat. Whisky full of “rot-gut,” Aloes in the beer— Everything is cheapened So all is twice as dear; Shoddy in the broadcloth, Cotton in the silk; Humbug is the watchword, Am so “Boss” in every ilk. Hogs are vile by nature, Shunned by virtuous Jews, Made by trade more filthy, Paseing through its stews, Breeding foul trichina, Fed on measley slops, Pork already ulcered Is for sale in all the shops. Lard pumped up from oil vats Stuffed with candle grease, Stump-tailed cows when tried out Yield a golden—‘fleece,” . Swine are always gouty, Strumous when they're born; Who would think of eating them Save Esquimaux forlorn? Men are sometimes doctored, Politics get mixed, Love is but a gamester, And religion krows the tricks; Brains are made for bullets, Brawn is “oush ga spiel.” Women man the breeches, And justice takes the deal. Alas, for us poor humans, So victimized by tricks; We're victimized when healthy And victimized when sick. Quinine half red pepper, Cayenne half red lead, Creosote in tinctures, And vile alum in our bread. With dye stuff in the coffee, Dye stuff in the tea, Dye stuff in the butter, ‘All done for you and me; With food and drink both cheapene¢ Yes, poisoned through and throug! And even things we cook in, Made alive with poison, too. Pray tell us, O, ye sages, ‘The gods not helping yet, ‘The times being only humbug, Say, can’t we mortals fret? No, sugar will not sweeten, ‘Water will not wet; Humbug can’t be beaten, And so what's the use to fret? —John Langdon Dudley. THE DOUGLAS THEATORIUM.

If, for example, you have half a cupful of carrots, cut into slices, add an equal quantity of potato, cooked and sliced; stir into a thick cream sauce. Serve with minced parsley on top. Half a cupful of beets. Cut into small pieces, combine with four tablespoonful of pecan meats broken in halves, also a little celery. Toss in French dressing and serve in lettuce cups. Half a cupful of peas. Add dissolved gelatine to a large cupful of highly seasoned stock. Strain. When it begins to set, stir in the peas lightly. Mould in small cups. Garnish with wreath of parsley and curled celery. Serve with mayonnaise. Half a cupful of tomato. To the tomato add four tablespoonfuls of shelled chopped peanuts, butter the size of a walnut, one tablespoonful of bread crumbs. Cover with crumbs. Bake in shells until brown. Half a cupful of beans. Cut into small pieces. Add half a cupful of boiled potato, sliced, a suspicion of onion and a few walnut meats, broken. Serve with French dressing on a bed of watercress.

Several Mothers May Unite and Give the Little Ones a Happy Afternoon. Several mothers may unite and give this party, using a large lawn or several adjoining lawns. Have gay little tents or big Japanese umbrellas, presided over by familiar characters from "Mother Goose" or nursery rhymes. "Old Mother Hubbard" can have a little tent in which she exhibits pet dogs and kittens, squirrels, rabbits and doves. "Little Miss Muffet" can exchange popcorn balls for bits of silver paper "money." "Little Red Riding Hood's" basket can contain bags of peanuts. "Simple Simon's" tray can be stocked with stick candy, and "Old King Cole" can be the toy balloon man. Open the afternoon with a parade of pony and donkey carts and toy vehicles. Then let the smallest children enjoy rides around a "pony track," and play simple kindergarten games under the direction of a kindergarten teacher. other treble into the same place as the last; * , pass over one stitch, 2 trebles with one chain between in the next, and repeat from * for about four more inches: fasten off.

On the full part or frill the loops are worked over two rows at a time, and not set so closely together, the loops being carried across 2, 3, or more stitches at discretion. Round the outer edge work a row of loops, 7 chain into every fourth stitch, and then a second row of loops, but working them from the middle treble, passed over in making one loop to the middle treble in the next, thus forming a double row of loops all round the edge. Thread the first row of the frill with ribbon half an inch wide, arrange all the fulness across the front of the bonnet, leaving about four inches on either side of where the ribbon meets quite plain; put a stitch on each side to keep it in position. The ribbon should be tied at the back to the size required. Strings should be attached, and a bow or rosette of ribbon stitched on the top. A lining of soft silk will add greatly to the appearance of the bonnet, and also to the wearer's comfort. If Ivorine wool is used, the foundation might be worked in Shetland. Half a cupful of corn. Prepare three medium-sized tomatoes, scoop out the center, fill with the corn creamed. Bake in oven until tomatoes are tender. Pour over each a heaping spoonful of cream sauce. PRETTY FOR TOILET TABLE. Ring Box Easily Made from Odds and Ends of Material. A very pretty and useful addition to the toilet table in the shape of a ring box may be made from odds and ends of material. Obtain a narrow cardboard box about $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide, four inches long and one inch deep; discard the lid and proceed as follows: Cut a length of silk, or whatever ma- Fi₂工 terial is decided upon, and cover the sides of the box, turning over the edges inside the box and underneath it, where they should be neatly pasted down with colorless glue. Then to make the bottom quite tidy, paste white paper over it, and sew a button, which has first been covered with material, to each corner to form feet. The upper portion is formed from a strip of cardboard the length of the box and $3\frac{1}{4}$ inches wide. Nearly an inch from each edge rule a slight incision from end to end, so as to be able to bend it to the shape of Fig. 1 in the illustration. Next paste firmly over the whole a strip of velvet and cut five incisions to hold the rings. Lastly, cut out two semi-circular portions—Fig. 2, cover them with velvet and paste to the spaces caused by the curved top at each end; fix this top by slipping the edges inside box, fix with glue. For the elder children have games and trials of skill, shooting arrows at a target, throwing rubber balls at a dummy figure, races, etc., under the direction of an older boy or girl experienced in school athletics. The tests should be very simple and the programme changed the moment the little folks show signs of over-excitement or irritability. Let the children sing a marching song as they go to supper to quiet them down. Serve supper in a larger tent, using kindergarten tables and chairs. Have the tables flower trimmed and "fairies" for waiters. These may be young girls dressed in white with wreaths of flowers and gauze wings. For the fishing ponds have tubs of water and let them fish for floating toys. Protect the little fishers by oilcloth aprons. Watching a child's dress seems a little matter, but remember that a spattered dress may spoil the bright day for a little girl.—What to Eat. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD UNIQUE CHINESE MISSION. Native Christians Conduct a Successful Forward Movement in Shanghai. In December, 1905, an informal conference of 12 leaders of missions having Christian work in Shanghai, met to discuss the need of a spiritual forward movement. They decided that to be most effective this should be conducted by Chinese. Various members consulted with their Chinese associates, with the result that the Chinese clergymen and other Christian workers met daily for ten days at the Chinese Y. M. C. A. to pray about the matter. It was finally decided to invite Dr. Y. S. Li and Rev. B. D. Li, of Suchau, to visit Shanghai after the new year. Three thousand confession and prayer cards were distributed to Chinese Christians, and on February 13 meetings began, which were strictly limited to Christians. For eleven evenings, in the midst of constant rain, an average of probably 200 church members assembled at the London mission and Presbyterian churches. Dr. Li addressed the missionary prayer meeting, and his statement that the lack of spiritual power amongst Chinese Christians was largely due to the same lack among foreigners, who are the instructors and leaders of the Chinese, was received by an audience conscious of its truth. Mr. R. E. Lewis writes to the Record of Christian Work that Dr. Li's last meeting was largely attended, and for two hours there was a stream of prayer, testimony and confession of sin. The Yoke Fellows' band at the Chinese Y. M. C. A. planned a series of meetings for English-speaking non-Christians. These have just closed, having been addressed by Mr. F. S. Brockman on four evenings. Audiences larger than have ever crowded into the rooms listened; two after-meetings were held with about 50 inquirers, of whom 12 publicly expressed their purpose to be Christians. Some of these were men of prominent families, and will have opposition and temptation to face, but all of those who definitely decided had been in past years students in Christian colleges, but had made no open confession to Christ. PAPYRUS TREASURE. Ancient Manuscripts of a Fragment of Another Gospel Found in Egypt. Though of course on an exceedingly limited scale, there must have been some sort of circulation of the Scriptures in ancient times, says the Record of Christian Work. Papyrus fragments are continually being brought to light as the result of archaeological research. The latest "find" is one of considerable interest. Drs. Grenfel and Hunt, two of our most accomplished scholars, have just disinterred at Oxyrhyncus, an ancient Egyptian city on the banks of the Nile, a vellum leaf, containing 45 lines in all, from a manuscript of a lost gospel. The incident it records is quite different from anything we have in the canonical gospels, but the figure of our Lord in it is easily recognizable from all we learn about Him in the them. The fragment tells of a visit of Jesus with his disciples to the temple at Jerusalem, where they meet with a Pharisee, who reproaches them with their failure to perform the necessary ceremonial of purification before entering the holy place. The Pharisee, in answer to a question by Jesus, describes in some detail the formalities he had himself just been observing, whereupon Jesus makes an eloquent, and crushing reply, the burden of which is the contrast of outward with inward purity. UNIQUE OFFERING IN KOREA Native Convents Give Days of Service That the Gospel May Be Spread. A few months ago some 400 Christians in North Korea, where the power of God has been deeply felt, met together, asking of one another what they could do to spread this Good News of Christ. After much prayer and conference, they decided to make a new kind of offering to the Lord. They had already contributed what money they could afford, and now they decided to give an offering of men for free, willing service in spreading the gospel among those of their countrymen who knew it not. Each gave a definite number of days, and before the meeting closed, two years of time had been voluntarily offered. The news spread round the district and soon 2,000 days of voluntary service were promised. Several months have passed, and now within the last fortnight we hear that 2,000 souls have been added to the church, and the work still going on Fortunes in Bride's Bouquet. At a recent wedding the bride's bouquet was in seven parts, and when she left it was showered upon the six bridesmaids and the maid of honor. Three of the bouquets contained gifts—one of a gold dollar, another a gold ring and the third a gold thimble—the gifts indicating respectively, wealth, a husband and single blessedness. Persons bearing the same surname are forbidden to marry in China. People who are received by the pope must appear in full evening dress, although the hour is usually at 11 o'clock in the morning. The outer office looks like that of a good New York lawyer. A pleasant young secretary in secular garb meets the visitors. All is very simple, not in the least awe-inspiring. Visitors must kneel and kiss the pope's hand. A rule that refuses to work at all often gets the best of one that works both ways. A wasted opportunity never comes back for a second trial. Economy is the road to wealth. PUTNAM FADELESS DYE is the road to economy. Every married woman under 40 knows a man she thinks she might marry if her husband should happen to die. New Term of Opproblum. Frederick Townsend, charged in a London court with malleiously wounding James Ridley, pleaded in justification that Ridley had called him a 'Glasgow Irishman." Seamen Given Privileges. A marriage bill introduced in the British parliament allows the marriage of a seaman to take place by license in the diocese of the port where his ship is lying, if he has been a resident for 15 days on the ship or partly on the ship and partly on shore within the diocese. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHE. Get at the Cause—Cure the Kidneys. Don't neglect backache. It warns you of trouble in the kidneys. Avert the danger by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of Lufkin, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawwill, was laid up six weeks, and from that time had pain in my back the danger by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of Lufkin, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawmill, was laid up six weeks, and from that time had pain in my back whenever I stooped or lifted. The urine was badly disordered and for a long time I had attacks of gravel. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills the gravel passed out, and my back got well. I haven't had backache or bladder trouble since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. GIANT RADISHES OF THE EAST There the Vegetable Grows to an Enormous Size. Radishes in North China and in Japan are as important and ubiquitous a part of every meal as is bread in America. In both countries many millions of bushels of this vegetable are grown every year, and they are to be had at all seasons. It is thus easy to understand why these parts of the world grow the strangest and biggest radishes known. The giants beside the little French Breakfast, our favorite American variety, are but babies beside the monsters they grow under the warm, moist influences of the oriental climate. These radishes are grown on American soil from seeds imported by the United States department of agriculture from China. They take well to the American climate, and probably would have weighed five pounds when full grown. When these fellows are grown in China they rapidly form a great brilliant red globe eight to ten inches in diameter and weighing sometimes 20 pounds. Another kind is snow white and grows a foot long, and still another is a brilliant green on the outside and a beautiful wine red when the skin is cut. Some of these strange vegetables are exceedingly delicate in flavor and texture when grown under favorable conditions. DUBICUS About What Her Husband Would Say. A Mich. woman tried Postum Food. Coffee because ordinary coffee disagged with her and her husband. She writes: "Hy husband was sick for three years with catarh of the bladder, and palpitation of the heart, caused by coffee. Was unable to work at all and in bed part of the time. "I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my housework—both of us using coffee all the time, and realizing it was harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather dubious about what my husband would say—he was fond of coffee. "But I took coffee right off the table, and we haven't used a cup of it since. You should have seen the change in us, and now my husband never complains of heart palpitation any more. My stomach trouble went away in two weeks after I began Postum. My children love it and it does them good, which can't be said of coffee. "A lady visited us who was always half sick. I told her I'd make her a cup of Postum. She said it was tasteless stuff, but she watched me make it, boiling it thoroughly for 15 minutes, and when done she said it was splendid. Long boiling brings out the flavor and food quality." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." A well known member of the New York bar, a man of most patronizing manner, one day met John G. Carlisle, to whom he observed loftily. "I see, Carlisle, that the supreme court has overruled you in the case of Mullins versus Jenkinson. But," he added, in his grand way, "you, Carlisle, need feel no concern about your reputation." Carlisle chuckled. "Quite so," he agreed. "I'm only concerned for the reputation of the supreme court."—Harper's Weekly. THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY. In the opinion of one who has traveled much and observed closely, the most truly and rightfully contented people in the United States to-day are the small landowners in what is known as the Upper White River Country, anywhere from Newport, Ark., to Carthage, Mo. They are contented because their surroundings are ideal and, until recently, the great, uneasy, disquieting world, with its artificial needs and inadequate compensations, has been to them but little more tangible than a dream. Here, still existent, and by reason of their very rarity at this day and time more delectable than in the past, are the conditions which have ever appealed with irresistible force to the independent-spirited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the supreme ruler of his own little principality; acknowledging no master save the law—and possibly his feminine helpmeet; cringing to no employer; asking no favors from the world, save those that his neighbors freely extend and expect as freely in return. He lives in a latitude where the extremes of heat or cold are never known, and at an altitude that insures perfect health. The richest bounty of Nature has been showered upon him with unsparing hand, but it is a question whether he more than dimly realizes the fact. He accepts as a matter of course the fertile soil which produces in abundance every cultivable growth common to the north temperate zone, the surrounding forests of valuable woods and the underlying stratas of precious minerals, the springs and streams of translucent purity on every hand, the wealth of fish and game at his very door, such as less favored mortals annually travel hundreds of miles to find. He is contented, but small credit is his for that, for how could he well be otherwise than content? It is sad that such idealistic conditions may not continue, but it is written that the present possessors of this favored land must soon give place to others more appreciative of its incomparable features. A railroad has recently cut its way through the best of this region, and the unaccustomed rustle of bank notes and chink of coin will eventually tempt the hill-dweller to part with his birthright. So it has always been in the world's history—the good things that are ours without price invariably pass from our hands before we come to understand their value. The White River country will shortly be discovered anew by a class of immigrants better capable of judging its possibilities—the men who seek modest homes where the "lay of the land" will effectually prevent crowding by too close neighbors, where their cattle can fatten on free range, where the wealth of forest and mine awaits development by intelligent workers, and where the game and fish offer enjoyable recreation to all who have leisure and inclination for sport. Beware of Servian Bank Notes. There is dismay in the Servian ministry of finance. In the strong room in this department, in a specific safe, were stored the engraved plates from which Servian bank notes were struck. These plates were engraved in Paris and cost a sum of £1,600. All these plates have within the past few days been found to be stolen from the safe, without any visible sign of the safe having been tampered with. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Has Been Buried for Centuries. The body of a young woman has been discovered in the ancient Priddy lead mines in Somersetshire, England, some 16 or 17 feet deep in the waterbone slit that has been accumulating since the days before the Romans came. The hair is wonderfully preserved, and remains in the plait in which it was worked. Beside the body were found five large blue and green glass beads. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Italy's Silk Industry. In Italy there are cultivated every year 1,250,000 ounces of silkworm eggs, and there are produced 110,000,000 pounds of cocoons, having a total value, at to-day's prices, of $20,000,000. Lombardy produces a full half of this total. The Venetian provinces produce about one-fifth, and Fiedmont about one-seventh. TUMORS CONQUERED Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy, Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it is far advanced. Mrs. Fannie D. Fox So-called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made manifest by profuse monthly periods, accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, secure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice if you will write her about yourself. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen months ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so bad that I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. "Soon after I read one of your advertisements and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After taking five bottles as directed the tumor is entire gone. I have been examined by a doctor and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more, and I am entirely well." —Fannie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa. HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY How Educator Succeeded in Desire to Address Students. A distinguished educator of Boston, who once visited a western college during examination week, was, for some reason or other, not asked to address the students, as he had expected he would be. In chapel he was merely requested to lead in prayer which he did in this wise: "Be pleased, rather in Heaven, to guide the steps of the president of this college. Thou knowest that he was a claustmate of Thy servant, a graduate of the class of '84, taking high honors. Thine eye hath looked with favor upon the happy choice that resulted in his appointment, with the consent of the trustees, as the head of this institution. Thou knowest that the students of this college ought to look upon him as a friend as well as their president. Thou knowest that thy servant is well pleased with the high standards of scholarship here prevailing and with the righteousness and loyalty of the students." Finally, to the intense delight of the students, the visitor concluded his prayer as follows: "And I thank Thee for this opportunity to address the students of this college."

No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in day time. To take "tonics and stimulants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see if you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from indigestion. After trying several kinds of medicine, the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in a few days that craving, gnawing feeling would start up, and I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloating feeling which was so distressing disappeared entirely. "My mother was very much bothered with diarrhea before commencing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed after a supper of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason."

"Begging." The usual occupation of the blind. Vs. 36, 37. "Hearing the multitude." His cars, made keen as the ears of the blind commonly are, was quick to discern that a great crowd was passing. Evidently Bartimaeus had heard of Jesus, how he had restored sight to other blind men, and he felt that now was his opportunity. V. 38. "He cried." He could not see Jesus, but he was determined that Jesus should hear and thereby be drawn to see him. "Son of David." Perhaps the blind man recognized Jesus as the Messiah, the descendant of great King David; for of this coming One it had been foretold that he should open the eyes of the blind (Isa. 29: 18; 35: 5; 42: 7), and this Jesus had proved able to do. "Have mercy on me." This was his customary cry, but in the present instance the mercy craved was not alms, but the restoration of sight. V. 39. "They which went before." Those who were in advance of Jesus. "Rebuked him . . . hold his peace." They tried to make him cease his cries, deeming it unfit that a common beggar should thus intrude upon one for whom they had great respect. Even to this day there are some to hinder those who seek Jesus. V. 40. "Jesus stood." Nothing is too much trouble for Jesus, if he can but help a single soul. "Commanded him to be brought." To the calling man, the calling Jesus responded. V. 41. "What wilt thou?" It is God's way to ask us to express to him our desires. He might supply many of our needs without our asking, but we are bidden. "In everything by prayer . . . let your requests be made known unto God." "Lord," or "Master." There is love and devotion in the title he chooses to address Jesus. "That I might receive my sight." This was the one object of his desire. V. 42. "Jesus said." According to Matthew, as Jesus spoke he touched the eyes of Bartimaeus and his companion, and immediately sight was restored. "Thy faith hath saved thee." It was divine power that wrought the cure, but the man had put himself in connection with that power by his loving confidence in Jesus. V. 43. "Received his sight." The restoration was immediate and complete. V. 2. "Zacchaeus." His name is a Hebrew one, signifying pure, hence undoubtedly the man was a Jew. Concerning his character previous to this meeting with Jesus, most commentator believe that it had been all that served to render publicans odious to their fellow men. "Chief among the publicans . . . And he was rich." His position was in itself a lucrative one, and the temptations toward unlawful gains were very great. V. 3. "Sought to see Jesus who he was." He had heard much of Christ. Curiosity was, we may believe, the only motive in his desire to see Jesus. V. 4. "Ran . . . and climbed." He resorted to the usual devices boys follow to enable them to see a passing pageant. V. 5. "Said, Zacchaeus, come down." We need not wonder how One who could read the man's heart knew also his name. "To-day I must abide at thy house." To invite one's self thus was in perfect keeping with the custom of orientals, where there is little accommodation such as public inns for travelers. V. 6. "He made haste, came down, received him." He who had overcome so many obstacles in order to catch a glimpse, is quite prepared to eagerly and joyously seize the opportunity for closer acquaintance. V. 7. "They all murmured." The feeling of the Jews against the publicans was very strong. V. 8. "Zacchaeus stood." Stood forth as if to perform a formal act before his family and guests. "The half of my goods I give to the poor." He purposes to begin at once to distribute among the poor the one-half of his present possessions. "If I have taken . . . false accusation." By his tone he confesses that investigation will reveal that in collecting taxes he has often exacted more than his due. "I restore him fourfold." For a case like this the Jewish law required restitution with one-fifth added to the principal (Num. 5:7); Zacchaeus judged himself as if convicted of theft (Ex. 22:1). Practical Points. V. 40. Jesus heartily welcomes every seking one.—Isa. 65: 24 V. 41. Each has need to call upon Jesus to remove spiritual blindness.—Ps. 119: 18. V. 2. Worldly wealth consecrated to God becomes a great power for good.—1 Tim. 6: 17, 18. V. 3. A disposition to seek Jesus is proof that Jesus is seeking us.—John 6: 44. V. 5. Jesus is willing to dwell with as all the days.—Matt. 28: 20. V. 8. True reformation is proved good works.—Jas 2: 18. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To Cure, or Money Refunded by Your Merchant.

To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently—I would not say positively that it was in your columns—an article on the White House which contained several misstatements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809 and that its first occupant was President Madison. The fact is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1800. The original mansion was begun in 1792. In 1814 it was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the article referred to was the statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because I have used considerable paint myself and wondered that "canned" paint should be used on such an important building when all painters know that pure white lead and linseed oil make the best paint. It so happened also that I knew white lead and linseed oil—not ready-mixed paint—were used on the White House, because I had just read a booklet published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers who also manufacture pure white lead. In that book the manufacturers admitted that for the White House nothing but "the best and purest of paint could be used," and said that their pure white lead had been selected. Above all people, those who attempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even if it is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material. Charity by Machinery. Poor Man—Wu'd ye be so kind, sir, as to stop a moment! It was you, sir, that saved my wife's life last year by givin' me a dollar for some medicine. Please, sir, she's sick agin, an' the same way. Mr. Highmind—I have recently been convinced of the folly of indiscriminate giving, and I now distribute by donations through the Business Men's Charity trust, organized for the purpose of investigating each case. I left a dollar with the secretary not five minutes ago. Go and tell him your story. Mr. Highmind (an hour later)—Ah! Did you go to the secretary, as I directed? "I did, sir, an' he gave me a five-cent piece wid a hole in it." "Yes, sir. I told him about your dollar, but he said the other 95 cents was kept for salaries an' expenses." —N. Y. Weekly.

Would Scratch and Tear the Flesh Unless Hands Were Tied—"Would Have Died But for Cuticura." "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to cut Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores' were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, R. F. D.

Respectfully submitted. P. S. TILSON, Chemist. Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome. Dr. Herman Reinbold, the expert German chemist, in a recent official report concerning Baking Powders, declares that a pure alum baking powder is better and less injurious than the so-called cream of tartar powders. He says that if the quantity of alum contained in a sufficient quantity of baking powder for a batch of bread or cakes for an ordinary family, be concentrated to one mouthful of food, and taken into the stomach of any one person, no matter how delicate, it could do no harm. On the contrary, alum is wholesome in proper quantities. This is undoubtedly the reason the State of Missouri quickly repealed a law that prohibited the manufacture of the most wholesome of all baking powders. So much for Alum Baking Powders. How to Put On Gloves. Open and turn back the gloves to the thumb and powder lightly. Put the fingers in their places, not the thumb, and carefully work them on with the first finger and thumb of the other hand until they are quite down; never press between the fingers. Pass the thumb into its place with care and work on as the fingers. Turn back the glove and slide it over the hand and wrist, never pinching the kid, and work the glove into proper place by means of the lightest pressure, always allowing the kid to slide between the fingers. In finishing care should be taken in fastening the first button. Schools Spreading In China. A few years ago the foreign missionary schools were practically the only institutions in Foochow offering facilities for the acquisition of western learning. There are now at least 30 native schools fashioned after the foreign model. Foochow is a city of 600,000 inhabitants, and these schools embrace about 2,000 students. Posters placarded all over the city advertise the opening of various modern schools, which are springing up in every nook and corner of the place. Scarcely a week passes without the announcement of the opening of a new school.

This is the time to begin preparation for a good winter garden. The family that lives without vegetables, or which depends on canned goods, only half lives. Turnips demand attention now. Rutabagas should be planted at once. The other varieties will be in time if sown August 10 to September 10. If the large, curled mustard is planted in August, it will giv gine salad in November and December. Successive plantings of spinach and lettuce and spinach should be made. Beet seed, the early varieties, may be planted in August. If a good stand is secured, fresh tender beets will come in during the winter. The leek is a great favorite with many. It is early and milder than the onion. For turnip salad, get the old-fashioned Seven-top, or some of the turnips that grow deep in the ground. They make good turnips as well as excellent salad. Lettuce planted now will head about the first of December. If planted in October and protected somewhat during the winter, it may be transplanted in February, and it will give fine, solid heads in April. It is understood that deep plowing or spading, with an abundance of manure is necessary to make best garden truck. Commercial fertilizer is very good, but if you have manure from a well-fed cow it is better. Still another calamity item. The Missouri strawberry crop is being seriously damaged.
