Vol. XXII. No. 46. Is Now W. H. HON, THOS, NE, ORINGHAUS Republican Nominee for Sheriff. Louis Nolte, the republican nominee for sheriff of St. Louis, is the right man for the office. He is a manly fellow of Rooseveltian ideas. In fact he is one of President Roosevelt's stanchest supports for another term in the presidential chair. He is a young man null of life and ambition, and has made a success in life, although only 35 years of age. He was born in St. Louis in 1871, and has resided in this city all his life. He started to work at an early age for August Gehner & Co., the real estate firm, and remained in their employ 12 years. Saving enough to start for himself, he is at present the senior member of the firm of Nolte & Willmann, at 2207 North Broadway, doing nicely in the real estate business. Two days before the republican convention he had no idea of receiving the nomination for sheriff. He was never a candidate for the position until his party called him, and in answering that call he believed he was doing his duty. He was heartily indorsed by Congressman Bartholdt; Otto Stifel and all the republican leaders. He is a personal friend of President Roosevelt, and received a congratulatory wire on his nomination for sheriff of St. Louis. Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney Phillips W. Moss, nominated for the office of prosecuting attorney, was born in St. Louis on November 6, 1874. After graduating from the Divell grammar and Central high schools, he took a law course in the St. Louis law school (Washington university) and graduated in 1904. His father, Charles L. Moss, has been a republican worker and practicing attorney in St. Louis since 1866. P. W. Moss and his father have a suite of offices in the Roe building under the firm style of Charles L. and Phillips W. Moss. Young Mr. Moss, who is unmarried, was the sergeant of Battery C. First California heavy artillery, during the Spanish-American war. The Palladium presents this gentleman to the public as a true and stanch republican, and let us all work for his election. Candidate for Sheriff. Louis Nolte, who is the nominee for sheriff, resides at 1129 Penrose street, and was born in this city about thirty-five years ago. Mr. Nolte began at the age of 13 with the August Gehner Realty and Investment Co., to learn the real estate business, and stayed with that firm until twelve years ago, when he started in the realty business himself, under the name of Nolte & Willmann, at 2207 North Broadway. He served as congressional committeeman from the Nineteenth ward for six years, and this is the first time he ever ran for any office. Mr. Nolte WRIGH LOUIS NOLTE, has been a benedict for about nine years. Mr. Nolte will get the entire vote of the republicans, and his republicanism can not be questioned. Let the Negro rally to his cause. Louis Ault for License Collector. Louis, Alt, nominated for license collector, is vice-president of the Bea on Paper Co., and resides with a wife and three children at 3439 Shenandoah avenue. Born in St. Louis 41 years ago, he has been active in republican politics ever since he reached manhood. During the administration of William A. Hobbs as recorder of deeds Alt was one of his clerks, and upon the election of Charles F. Wenneker as collector of the revenue he became a clerk in that office. For the past ten years, until a year ago, Mr. Alt has been a member of the city central committee, serving in different capacities on that body. We have known Mr. Louis Alt for a number of years, and he is a true gentleman. All should work and vote for him. For Judge of Court of Criminal Correction We take it for granted that Mr. Taylor has the right ring, as he had charge of the Coudrey congressional contest, and for five months devoted himself to ferreting out the crookedness of the Twelfth district, resulting in the seating of Mr. Coudrey in congress. For the past year he has been the central committeeman from the Twenty-second ward. He is also president of the Twenty-second Ward Republican League club. He resides at 3010 Laclede avenue. Candidate for Probate Judge Candidate for Probate Judge. During the Spanish-American war, Charles W. Holtcamp, nominated for judge of the probate court, served as colonel of the First Missouri volunteers. Since that time he served one term in the house of delegates, from 1899 to 1901, and has always been active in republican politics in the Twenty-eighth ward. Col. Holtcamp was born in Decatur, Ill., and came to St. Louis in 1880. He is a graduate of the St. Louis law school. He resides in the Twenty-eighth ward at 5704 Bartmer avenue. We have known Mr. Holtcamp for many years, and served in the house of delegates as sergeant-at-arms while he was a member of that body. He is worthy of your vote. The Negro Jefferson club held a meeting last Wednesday at 2629 Lawton avenue. Many persons were attracted to the club on account of the noise that they made. About 120 boys and two drum corps were present. Captain C. H. Tandy was present, as was our reporter, but that was no indication that he had any fault to find with the republicans.

Home Office: 10 1-2 N. 8th St., St. Louis, Mo. Watch this space in each issue for future information and notices. The voters of St. Louis should work and vote for Adolph H. Nast for clerk of the circuit court. He is a young genuine Republican. The Palladium stands for those who represent the principle of the Republican party. These men go to Washington to assist our Republican president to carry out the principles of the party. In St. Louis three men are candidates—Harry M. Coudery of the Twelfth district, Henry S. Caulfield of the Eleventh district, Richard Bartholt of the Tenth district. These men, when in Washington, will assist in the Republican work. Then let us not only vote and send them there, but get others to do so and on the 6th of November we will send from these three districts three good and tried Republicans that will be a great help to our race. The negro that can vote against a Congressman will steal, cheat and lie, and such men are dangerous to any community. Charles F. Joy, the republican nominee for this office, is personally acquainted with as many people in St. Louis as any other man; the others know him by reputation. He has spoken in every ward and almost every precinct in the city. He served the city well and faithfully in congress from 1893 until 1903, when he was gerrymandered out. He is a native of Morgan county, Illinois, 56 years of age, and an academic and law graduate of Yale. He came to St. Louis in 1875 and has been prominently identified with the city's interests ever since. He came before the citizens of St. Louis as a true and tried republican. Now is the time to put another republican on guard. The Palladium stands for him because he is a republican. The John Brown A (INCORP) Capital Stock, $150,000.00. Home Office: 10 1-2 N Watch this space in each and notices. Theron E. Catlin is a candidate for the legislature from the Sixth district. He is a true republican and we, as Negro men, should do all we can to put tried republicans on guard. I have known young Catlin's grandfather, also his father, Dan Catlin, for the past 36 years. Many a time have we sat in the old tobacco warehouse at Twelfth and Market street. His grandfather gave me much good advice, as did young Catlin's father. So Mr. Theron E. Catlin came from a republican family. We ask for him every vote in his district, that we may put him on guard for the principles of the republican party. So vote and work for him, is the wish of the Palladium. EDITORIAL NOTES. Remember Atlanta and vote the Republican ticket. Election in the Southern Democratic states are huge swindles. The Democrats are making a campaign of charlatanry and false pretense. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Negro. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. The Democracy has stripped the Negro of all his rights in the South by force and trickery. Do not be overconfident. It takes votes to win an election. See that your friends and neighbors vote the straight Republican ticket. The South would be poor today without the black toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen the black men's rights. "I do not think that the Negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation." Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi. There are many good white Democrats, but I have never seen a good Negro Democrat. OLEN. Black men before you vote the Democratic ticket, remember that the people who burn your brothers at the stake in the South are Democrats. No victory was ever won without a battle; remember that and fight for the Republican nominee for Congress from now until the polls close Nov. 6. Three million dollars is a great sum. That's what the Negroes who hold government positions draw every year under the Roosevelt administration. It is said that the Northern Democrat is opposed to the Southern Democratic injustice to the Negro. If so, he ought to fight it in the councils of the party. "Rally Around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Tillman, Vardaman, Graves & Co., and all the anarchists they can marshal. The colleges for the education of Negro youths in the South are crowded with students. Roosevelt prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared: "The 'nigger' has no more right to the ballot than a 2-year-old child has with a pistol." That's straight Democratic doctrine. The Democrats of the South say that the Negro is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation. No Republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law.

Vote for a Republican Congressman. The progress of the Negro people in 30 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. It cost a million lives and a billion dollars to rid this country of the curse of slavery. The Democratic party hopes to take away the manhood rights of the Negro and reduce them to a state of vassalage. Speaker Cannon says that the great trouble in this campaign is the overconfidence of Republicans. The speaker is a level-headed man. In order to win, all true Republicans must work and work hard for the ticket. Some of the papers are putting for-yard the plea that the election of a Democratic Congress would not do the country much harm. Such a proposition will not attract many voters. We want a Congress that can do some good. Do not sit down and dream that your Republican Congressman is sure of election. The enemy is wide awake and hustling. The only way to be sure of a Republican Congress is to work hard for the election of the Republican candidate in your district. Atlanta, Ga., the scene of the recent reign of blood, where innocent men and women were murdered by mobs because they were Colored, is a Democratic city. Every official is a Democrat, every policeman is a Democrat. Do not forget that when you are asked to vote for a Democratic Congressman. 2734 Morgan Street If you have doubts as to business or love affairs, consult the World's Greatest Clairvoyant, Leon Devoux.

HON. HARRY COUDREY. Two years ago Mr. Harry M. Coudrey was elected to congress, but for nearly eleighteen months was kept out of his seat. Now, as a duty on the part of the citizens of the Twelfth dis POLITICAL TRUTHS. Everybody likes Joy. So vote for Charles F. Joy for recorded of deeds. He will make you happy for a while. The Negro does not have to vote the Democratic ticket now to conduct a saloon. He has been freed from that. A Negro who can say that he is a Democrat from principle is the devil's own doll baby, and the biggest cheat on earth. A Negro who will vote the Democratic ticket should be driven from her presence by his wife, because he is not honest. The trouble in Atlanta, Ga., ought to drive every weak-kneed and so-called Negro Democrat to their home, the Republican party. In this election let the Negro forget everything but the success of the Republican ticket in the coming election, Nov. 6, 1906. Mr. Fred H. Kreismann, regular Republican nominee for clerk of circuit court. See that you cast your vote for him, and get your friends to do likewise. Many white Democrats vote the Democratic ticket because their fathers were Democrats. But I have never seen a Negro whose father was a Democrat. When a Negro attempts to vote a Democratic ticket let him think of Atlanta, Ga. It is reported that all so-called Negro Democrats are coming home. Where is their home? Answer—The Republican party. When Negroes call themselves Democrats they ought to indorse what they do. What do they do? Why, murder, burn and mob Negro men and rape defenseless Negro women, simply because they are black or they are one of Aunt Hager's family. The only Negro on any committee is General Rice, who is a true and tried Republican. Mr. Rice is working day and night to the end that Mr. Harry M. Coudrey will be elected. Mr. Rice has secured the services of several girls to distribute the Palladium for him, as the Palladium has the true ring for Coudrey and the Republican ticket. The time is now at hand when every Negro who likes his rights as a man must choose for his children as a citizen of Missouri whether he will put Republicans on guard in Washington, D. C., who stand for manhood, be he white or black, or Jew. The Republicans stand up for the rights of Negro manhood. All Saints' Church. Rev.

We know every true and tried Republican will stand by Mr. Coudrey on November 6, 1906. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The lecture by Rev. Brown, of Nashville, was one of very great interest to the young and unmarried of both sexes on last Sabbath. We have the promise of another on next Lord's day.

There are many things which indicate to the experienced and sympathetic eye a steady increase in religious spirit among American college students. They are the growing interest in Bible study, one of the most pronounced tendencies in nearly all the colleges; the higher quality of music in the college chapels; the improvement in the chapels themselves; the care taken in selecting college preachers; the building of special homes for certain religious organizations, and the increase in the number and membership of the organizations The tendency in most of the colleges, says the Youth's Companion, is to make chapel attendance voluntary rather than compulsory, and to draw the students in by securing especially able men for preachers. The attendance upon the services has undoubtedly decreased, but those who are most intimate with the conditions are convinced that the character of the service has correspondingly improved Many of the students seek the preachers in privacy, for advice and counsel. The college department of the Young Men's Christian association has grown much faster than the colleges and in many educational institutions has a building of its own. Other religious organizations also have erected buildings for their own use. In one university—Harvard—there are five student organizations of a distinctly religious character. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions—one of the greatest missionary associations in the world—will soon celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the litte meeting of students of Williams college from which it sprang. There has already been held in Nashville Tenn., a convention of the Student Volunteer Movement, at which nearly 5,000 delegates were present. No better way in which to sum up the matter could be found than the words in which Dean Hodges of the Episcopal Theological School in Cam bridge speaks of the character of the young men at Yale: "The voices which lead the cheering on the playing fields lead the devotions of the students at the prayer meeting." SIR GEORGE WILLIAMS' MANSION Given to Y. M. C. A. as National Coun cil Headquarters. The sons of the late Sir George Williams have assigned the lease of his private residence, in the west central district of London, where he lived for many years, to the National Council of the Y. M. C. A. as its headquarters. The National Council is of course the organizing center for all the branches of the great institution that exist in England, Wales and Ireland, Scotland having a national council of its own. This generous act of the sons of the venerated founder of the Y. M. C. A. remarks a writer in Record of Christian Work, will give the National Council the enlarged office accommodation which it had long desired in consequence of the ever-growing extension of its operations. Moreover, the fitness of that increased accommodation being in the house which Sir George Williams made his home will be apparent to everybody. Inspiring memories of the man will linger in every room. Difficulties of Indian Converts. Dr. H. Martyn Clark, in the "Christian Patriot," writes a most instructive article on the difficulties of British Indian converts. He remarks: "A worker in brass, let us say, has become a Christian. All the springs of the trade, all the wealth and standing of it are against him. The mighty power of the members of the craft down to the smallest child grinds him hard through every relation of life. There is but one will and purpose through the hundreds of thousands of his people. His touch is defilement, his presence a curse. He has left the religion of his fathers. He is an abomination. Then the rest of the world is leagued against him. In hating the Christian, men of different faith find a strong bond of union." Pundita Ramabai Plans More Work. Speaking of that wonderful Hindu woman, Pundita Ramabai, the Missionary Review of the World says: "This most fervid Hindu saint, though already caring for more than 1,500 young widows, writes that the Lord has laid it on her heart to open 20 mission stations in different villages to which she may send her Christian girls to preach the Gospel. She asks for experienced workers from America and England, who will be willing to bear the hardships of village life in order to be leaders in this form of redemption work." Jew Becomes Catholic. The conversion of a Jew to Catholicity, a rare event, has just taken place in Venice. The convert, Forti Felice, is 24 years of age. He was baptized by the patriarch of Venice. Call to Torrey's Church. It is announced that Rev. A. C. Dixon, D. D., has accepted a call to the church in Chicago vacated by the reservation of Evangelist R. A.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"She hath wrought a good work upon me."—Matt. 26:10. TIME.—The Saturday evening previous to our lesson, the evening of Jewish Sabbath, April 1, A. D. 30. PLACE.—Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, at the house of Simon, who had had been a leaper. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 6. "In the house of Simon the leper." It is commonly supposed that this man, of whom nothing further is known, had been healed of his disease by Jesus. V. 7. "There came unto him a woman." Jesus, with other male guests, was reclining at the table, when Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha, came to him. "Alabaster box." A bottle, or cruse, made of the rare and delicate alabaster. "Very precious ointment." The other accounts tell us that this ointment was the rare and costly spikenard distilled from an odorous plant which grew in the far east, and mingled with oil, making a rich perfume unknown to modern chemists. In quantity it was a pound—that is 12 ounces. "Poured it on his head." Also upon his feet (John), and in her eagerness to lavish every drop upon her beloved, perhaps she crushed the fragile jar (Mark). She also wiped his feet with her hair (John). The practice of anointing the person with perfumed oils was as common among the Hebrews as among other oriental peoples. V. 8. "His disciples had indignation." Judas was the spokesman, but the other apostles joined him in condemning Mary's lavish expenditure. V. 9. "Might have been sold for much." Its value was estimated by Judas at 300 pence; that is, about $45. "Given to the poor." This was Judas' suggestion, made, not because he cared for the poor, but because as treasurer of the little band he would have had opportunity to purloin some portion of the money entrusted to him. V. 10. "When Jesus understood." Jesus perceived that some actually condemned Mary's beautiful deed. It, of course, pained Mary to be criticised by good men for whom she had great esteem, and Jesus reproved them, saying, "Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work." The apostles thought Mary had wasted her ointment. V. 11. "Ye have the poor always with you." At that day, and in every day and land since, there have been abundant opportunities for Jesus' friends to help the poor. He recognizes this service as done unto him (Matt. 25:31-46). "But me ye have not always." Only a few days longer would the friends of Jesus have to express their loving devotion to his person. V. 12. "She did it for my burial." It was customary for the Jews to anoint the dead body for burial. V. 13. "Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached." Wherever the good news shall be proclaimed how God, through the life and death of his Son, poured out his love and life in sacrifice for his children, there shall the story also be told of Mary, who poured out her dearest treasure to express her love to Jesus. "In the whole world." Jesus poured out his life for all mankind, and he foresaw that this good news would be proclaimed throughout the world. V. 14. "Then." Very soon after this feast, "Judas Iscariot." Judas of Kerloth, the only one of the apostolic band who was not a Galilean. He had enjoyed the advantage of intimate companionship with Jesus for three years, but his avaricious heart had not been won to love the loving One. "Went unto the chief priests." The priests, of whom Caiaphas was the leader, had determined to seize Jesus and put him out of the way. They eagerly welcomed Judas, who came to them and offered to betray his Lord. V. 15. "What will ye give me?" This sentence gives us a key to Judas' character. He was continually seeking something for himself. Jesus' words, from the early days of his ministry, indicate that he felt that Judas' heart was not with him (John 6:70; Matt. 26:25). "Thirty pieces of silver." Thirty shekels; that is, a little less than $20 in our money. An ancient prophet had foretold the very price for which Jesus would be sold (Zach. 11:12). V. 16. "Opportunity to betray him." The chief priests were anxious that Jesus should be quietly and secretly delivered into their hands, lest there be an uprising of the people in his defense. Practical Points. V. 7. Estimate the "precious things" Christ has poured out, until you feel there is naught too precious to pour up upon him.—1 Pet. 1:19; 2:4, 7; 2 Pet. 1:4. V. 10. Though we may fail to appreciate another's way of serving God, let us refrain from unjust criticism.—1 Cor. 4:5. V. 13. As Mary's love embalmed Jesus, so Jesus' love embalms the memory of each of his loving ones.—John 14:19; Col. 3:3, 4. V. 13. Love's wastes are living seeds, their death is their multiplication.—John 12:24. V. 15. He makes a poor bargain who sells Jesus, though all the world be offered in exchange.—Matt. 12:26.

Filley was postmaster, in giving advice to the wives and to the Negroes for their own good, told the wives if their husbands voted a democratic ticket, for them to leave. This keeps them in line. Now, the Palladium says the Negro man that will vote against the republican ticket has got no wife, for no woman will be bothered with such trash. Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, asks that the republicans give him a working majority in the house of representatives and the senate. The rest will be left for him. In the state of Missouri the representative and the senator should be elected, that they may be on guard for our protection. Let us do our duty. And they are not in it at all. Every Saturday morning at the first mail, the committee of three call a meeting of over 3,000 persons. The master of ceremonies introduces J. W. Wheeler as the first speaker, and for two hours he pours hot shot into the misguided so-called democratic Negroes. If you don't believe it, read the editorial shots in this week's Palladium. Dr. Jules Baron is the Republican nominee for coroner of St. Louis. The Negro voters should remember that Dr. Baron represents the principles of the party that gave the Negro freedom, and it is the party that stands for the rights of all men to cast one vote, so let notning but Republicans be on guard. The Negro who will vote for any man for sheriff other than Louis Nolte is a dangerous Negro. We can only say, "Watch that fellow." After he votes his wife should leave him at once. Mr. Hiram Lloyd is assisting in the great work of the election of Hon. Harry M. Coudry, and all is well. Mark the saying of the Palladium. Policeman calls a Negress a "lady" and loses his job. New Orleans inspector feared titles of "Mr." and "Mrs." would make Blacks "so stuck up."—Post-Dispatch. We wonder how does this set upon the so-called Negro democrats in St. Louis. We would like to see the Negro so-called democrat tell his wife that he voted the democratic ticket. I will bet $10 against 20 Negro heads, for they are only worth 50 cents, as that is a good price.

Five Negroes and two white women were arrested while dancing by Policemen Ulrich and Crismer, in a raid on a house at 2117 Chestnut street. The women gave their names as Minnie and Marie White, 20 and 21 years old. They refused to give addresses. The Negroes gave their names as Louis Smith, Jesse Terry, Thomas Otey, Marry Perkins and David Young. All were ordered held for further investigation. It is a disgrace to see that some of our young Negroes that have a dozen children, out dancing with white women. Some time ago one of the mushrooms was arrested for kissing. Now, come. Another is arrested for dancing with a white woman. Better shinney on your own side. Negroes Will Not Work. Although Nashville is full of idle Negroes, the S. M. Gest Co., of Cincinnati, which is building the conduit system there, says it seems impossible to get them to work, and that it will probably have to bring down Italians from the north—Ex. Same Here, Child. But the St. Louis Palladium and our two detectives, Cooper and Logan, are making them find and go to work, and if they don't find work we will see that they get and go to work, and if they fall we will send them to the white house, better known as the workhouse.

In the nomination of the Hon. John J. Manton for the clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction, no one can say other than that he has always proved himself to be fair in all matters pertaining to the Colored people of this city; in fact, the color of a man's skin cuts no figure with this distinguished young man, who has performed the duties of that important office for which he now seeks re-election, with such credit to himself and fairness to all, regardless of color, that in casting your vote for John J. Manton for clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction you will be showing your appreciation of having a friend in the office where so many of our people come more or less in contact. And we should go to the polls on November 6 and return Mr. Manton to the office of clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction. A COLORED VOTER. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES. Rev. Dr. S. E. Griggs, author, preacher and orator, delivered a powerful sermon to a splendid audience. He spoke in very high esteem of Dr. Cole, whom he had known for many years; he also congratulated them in their success in securing such a fine church building. He also said that it was the second time that he had witnessed such an enthusiasm for his books before he had time to speak of them. The state convention platform meeting was well attended by many of the leading pastors of the state. Rev. Dr. J. H. Garnet, the newly-elected president of Western college, spoke at some length upon the mission of Christian schools. He was followed by Reverend Green, Macon; Hardin Smith, Boonville; Jamison, St. Louis; Redd, Bunceton; Fishback, Kentucky; Jordan, of Louisville, Ky. The choir rendered delightful music, Prof. Patterson at the organ. Mr. Samuel Roggers rendered a beautiful solo entitled "One Day," very much to the delight of the audience. Miss Cassie Jones rendered a piano solo; she is a graduate of Lincoln Institute. Mrs. Carrie Miller favored us with one of her beautiful solos entitled "Face to Face." Hon. N. W. Pardin, attorney, spoke at Providence Monday evening to a well-filled house. He told the story of why he is an exile from his home in Chattanooga for defending a Colored man who was afterwards mobbed. Mr. Parden will worship at Providence at one service next Sunday. Our friends are cordially invited to come to our rescue in a grand rally next Sunday. Dinner will be served in the chapel after morning service. Come, and help us raise $300.

Mistake to Allow Children to Hurry Parents Out of Middle Age, Where They Belong, Into Old Age, Says Writer. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) In the history of every home a period is reached when the mothers stop training the children and the children begin training the mothers. The process of training always involves a disagreeable side to the persons trained. Children, for instance, see when grown up that the truest kindness to them was shown when they were not allowed to have their own way, but in the early years they often enough felt rebellious when restrained or denied. The moulding touch may be so gently given and education may be conducted with so much tact that pleasure predominates. As a rule, there is some friction during training whether colts or children or parents are the subjects. Mothers arrive by imperceptible stages at the point where they cease to take the initiative and the children take it for them. Occasionally they feel a mild surprise when a grown daughter calmly advises them to do this or not to do the other; when there is interference with their dress, their comings and goings, and when innovations are introduced in the household management. A strong-willed mother does not easily yield her precedence and in her case the children have to wait until a fit of illness, a long visit or an absence of some sort gives them their opportunity. Once she yields an inch, they take an ell. The maternal sceptre laid down temporarily is seldom resumed with its previous vigor. Often the training of the middle aged mother is so tenderly and sweetly undertaken and accomplished that she slips into the background without being aware that she has practically abdicated her position as queen. Yet it happens every day that women by no means old, not at all weakened in mind or body, and as thoroughly conversant with affairs as ever they were, simply through granting concessions to their adoring children lose the rank of reigning sovereign to which they are entitled. "Beware of letting your children persuade you that you must take care of yourself, that you must not go here or go there, or get too tired," said a wise man to a friend. "Going down hill needs no exertion; it is just the lightest push here at the top of the hill and off you speed never climbing back again. Children often hurry mothers out of middle age where they belong into old age where they do not belong." There is a very beautiful and thoughtful education of mothers, so exceptional and so gracious that it is worth mentioning in any discussion of the question. Thousands of mothers are so busy with housekeeping and bringing up children that they lose heart about keeping up their reading and they sit in the presence of their college-bred sons and daughters feeling that they are miserably deficient and hardly fit to breathe the same atmosphere, with their gifted offspring, "I stand by the side of the road and gaze at my daughter almost with awe," confessed a mother who had no excuse for such profound humility. Another, filled with joy and pride at the triumphs of a son whose genius "TARTANS" TO BE WORN. The coming winter is expected to be a distinctly "tartan" one, for the Scotch plaid is seen not only in dress materials and trimmings, but is introduced into wings and quills and even roses. Plain broadcloth costumes have been fashioned by the leading costumiers in Paris and London with short sack coats and skirts trimmed with narrow bands of pipings of tartan, and a distinct novelty is the little green and blue tartan "hip" coat trimmed with collar and facings of black silk poplin and finished with old-silver buttons. Silk poplin, one of the fashionable materials for the coming season, is being used for making these little coats, with a judicious trimming tartan, for wearing with a blue cloth skirt, and in juxtaposition is the skirt of brown and blue palid, with orange stripe running through it to accompany a plain brown cloth sack coat, trimmed with military braiding, having on some models, a narrow flat piping of orange cloth or velvet introduced on either side of the braid. In many of the new worsted small check cloths and tweeds there is an ever plaid and striped effect in a con- was admitted, dwelt continually on the incredible fact that she was regarded with constant affection by one so brilliant and commanding as her boy. This mental attitude is of course entirely wrong and much to be deprecated. Experience has been a richer and more profitable feature to mothers than schools and colleges have been to their children. The right management of a home imparts to a woman who is responsive and receptive, sympathetic and enthusiastic, something quite as useful as a university education. I heard not long ago a story that seemed to me full of the sweetest sentiment and the most practical suggestiveness. A daughter who had been graduated with high honors came home with her diploma and spent her first vacation in becoming intimate with her mother. In the four years of separation the two had drifted a little apart; not in love but in acquaintance with those common affairs that form the staple of life in thought and conversation. The daughter did not go to her room or her hammock and spend hours in study and reading that would have been exclusive, though delightful, but immediately took hold of the daily work with a will. In every possible way she lightened her mother's burden and when after her mother and herself had passed many pleasant afternoons together over books that to the mother opened a new world of culture, the daughter planned a course of study that they might pursue together. Their home was remote from neighbors and they had plenty of time. Resisting the inclination to go abroad and find a congenial field for study or professional work, the younger woman stayed by the elder and awakened her fo a new youth. The saddest thing in life is to witness the discouragement of a woman who having accomplished her task of educating her children, finds herself solitary and neglected, the return for her devotion being that she is overlooked, while they are absorbed by ambition and their own business or their new relation. Sons and daughters marrying early seem to lose identity as integral parts of their old home. Their parents do not enjoy the training in patience which is theirs when at Thanksgiving and Christmas John and Mary find it impossible to come home, and when they are made to feel that their convictions and opinions are of little account with the second generation. "After a woman is 50 years old she may as well die," was the bitte, speech of a mother who realized that so far from taking the first place with her children, she had become a cipher in their estimation. Naturally, when children have left behind them schools and school masters and are confronted with the problems and situations of maturity they have a right to independence. They must take the responsibility for their own actions. They are not unlike the birds that have learned to use their wings and get their own food and that no longer need the supervision that was once so untriling in the days of the nest. Yet it were well for most grown up children to delay too much training of their parents. How shall we train our mothers would best be answered* in most instances, by an emphatic order to let them alone. Let mothers dress as they please, set their tables as they like, hold fast to little provincialisms in their dialect, unchecked, and be old-fashioned if they wish. There are endless varieties of roses in these days, but the white rose that blooms in the old-fashioned garden is sweeter than any of the newer productions. trast color, and among the autumn silks used for skirts to be worn with tailor-made costumes plaids and stripes are in great demand, as they brighten up a plain cloth dress. VALAIS DESIGN. The Valais design is traced on rather a dark colored linen, with a bold conventional poppy design, and is most effective worked out in rich, deep shades of a color. Economical Fire Kindler. An economical fire kindler may be made by dipping corn cobs in a mixture of melted resin and tar and dryer. Miss Dennett-Brown was much elated. The post had brought her two gratifying communications—one from her banker announcing the advantageous sale of some shares in a company she believed to be unsound; the other from her married sister in London telling her that Lady Macintyre had made up her mind to settle in Chipperton. She was only the widow of a city knight, it is true, but she had a handle to her name, and was supposed to be wealthy. "It is just what we want in Chipperton," Miss Dennett-Brown remarked to her unmarried sister, Olivia, "some one to give tone to the place and lead society." And already she saw visions of garden parties, at which she would be an honored guest, and bazaars at which she would be asked to hold a stall. With her mind's eye she even began to range rapidly over her somewhat antiquated wardrobe and to reckon up its possibilities. "She will be a great acquisition, but"—turning to her letter—"she is not to be here till the end of the London season, Carrie says." Having decided that this was to be regretted but could not be helped, she armed herself with a sheath of tracts and went forth in great good humor to visit those of her neighbors who, being poor, had apparently forfeited the Englishman's right to consider his house his castle. She went first to some pretty chalet-like cottages just on the outskirts of the town, in two of which new tenants had lately come, whose acquaintance she was anxious to make. The door of the first was invitingly open. Through it she saw, in the little sitting-room opposite, a woman who was engaged in ironing some lacey-looking articles. She was of a pleasant, but homely countenance. Miss Dennett-Brown rapped sharply on the door with the handle of her umbrella, and without waiting for permission, entered. "I hope I do not interrupt you," she said. The woman's face expressed surprise—and could it be possible?—a shade of annoyance. But she said politely: "Oh, not at all; if you will go into the front room I will be with you in a minute." "Don't move," exclaimed the other. "Go on with your work—I will sit here," and she plumped herself down into a chair by the table. "I love to watch people work." "I expect it is fascinating sometimes to those who themselves have nothing to do." Miss Dennett-Brown was a little taken aback and tried to look severe. "Oh, I am a very busy woman, I assure you. Do you always do your own ironing in here?" "No, not always. I sometimes iron in the kitchen—but to-day the kitchen is rather in a pickle." "Ah, that is a pity. Do you not think it is a good rule to clean your kitchen early? An ill kept kitchen is—well, you know, so very untidy. I think I have a little paper on that very subject. I am sure you will find it useful," and diving into her string bag, she produced a tract. "Her House in Order,' it is called," she said; "it is most interesting." "Thank you. Kindly put it down, and I will show it by and by to Susan." "Read it yourself, my good woman—read it yourself—it will teach you a great deal." The ironing being now finished, the mistress of the house suggested an adjournment to another room, as her visitor seemed inclined to stay. The latter unceremoniously pushed open a door in the passage, looked with disfavor at a pile of unpacked luggage, and sniffed ostentatiously. "A very unpleasant smell here," she said. "What is it? Stuffy—very stuffy! I should keep that window open if I were you. Let me see, when did you come in?" "About ten days ago." "Oh, you are not very quick in settling down, are you? I shall be around again next week with the 'Parish Magazine', and shall hope to find you quite straight; in the meantime, mind you, read the little paper—it will be a great help. No, I will not go out into the other room—and, oh, don't forget to send the story to your soldier son." "I will certainly send it. Who shall I say, sent it to him?" "I'm Miss Dennett-Brown—but you can tell him it was one of the parish visitors. Oh, and I have not asked your name." "I am Lady Macintyre," the other replied sweetly. "I have come in here to be near the Poplars, which is being got ready for me—pretty, quaint little doll's house, isn't it?" But Miss Dennett-Brown could not reply; she felt a cold, creepy sensation down her spine, and finding herself suddenly bereft of speech—fled. "How was I to know?" she asked plaintively when her sister reproached her with want of penetration. "She looked just like any one else—not so aristocratic as Mrs. Wegg, the postman's wife, and she had on an old holland overall—and—and" she went on breathlessly, "it was mean of her not to say who she was at first, and to lead me on—and it was just like Carrie to say she wasn't coming yet—she always does get hold of the wrong end of a story—of course we shall not be invited to the Poplars now!" And the much-injured lady wept. You can do your dyeing in half an hour with PUTNAM FADELESS DYES. Ask your druggist. Did you ever hear of a man falling in love with a woman's intellect?

Anemia, whether it results from actual loss of blood, from lack of nutrition due to stomach trouble, or whatever its cause, is simply a deficiency of the vital fluid. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They do that one thing and they do it well. "As a girl," says Mrs. Jessie Fink, of 180 East Mill Street, Akron, Ohio. "I suffered from nervous indigestion and when I was eighteen years old I was reduced in weight to 93 pounds. I was anemic, nervous, couldn't eat or sleep, was short of breath after the least exertion and had headaches almost constantly. I had a doctor, of course, but I might as well have taken so much water for all the good his medicine did me. Finally my vitality and strength were so reduced that I had to take to my bed for several weeks at a time. I could not digest any solid food and for weeks I did not take any other nourishment than a cup of tea or beef broth. "While I was sick in bed I read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I stopped all other medicine and began to take the pills. Soon my improvement was very noticeable. My strength began to return, my stomach gave me no pain and just as soon as I began to take solid food I gained in weight. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills certainly saved my life. I am now perfectly well, have regained my normal weight of 120 pounds and I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a wonderful medicine." These celebrated pills are recommended for stubborn stomach trouble, for all cases of weakness and debility, such as result from feyers and other acute diseases.

Sen- ator fom’ South Carolina for two }terms, ina letter from Washington, D. C., writes to the Peruna Medicine Co., as follows? “1 can recommend Peruna for} dyspepsia and stomach trouble. 1 have been using your medicine for 2 short period and I feel very much relieved.

Only an internal catarrh remedy, such iis Peruna, is available. Peruna exactly meets the indications —_———— CASTE IDEA CARRIED FAR. Illustration of Bitterness Between Fol- lowers of Mohammed. Here is a tale from O’Donovan’s “Mery” illustrating the bitterness of feeling between the various sects of the followers of Mohammed: O'Don- ovan had offered his Mohammedan at- tendant, who happened to be a Shilte, some of his cold chicken, which the man took at first and chewed rumin- antly. Suddenly, however, he spat the mouthful out, exclaiming: “Who cooked this?” since it is a sin for a Moslem to eat food cooked by an in- fidel. “Oh, it's all right,” replied O'Donovan, “it was cooked by your coreligionists down there,” pointing to a city of Sunnites. “What!” exclaim- ed Shilte, furiously, “by those infernal Sunnites! 1 shouldn't have minded much if it had been cooked by you or any other giaour; but by a Sunnite! Pah!” and he spat again in his dis- gust. “But what is the difference be- tween Shilte and Sunnite? Aren't doth good Moslems?” “What is the difference between us! Don’t you know that when a Shilte washes his hands he lets the water drip from the wrist; but when tuose Sunnites wash their hands they let the water drip from the elbow?” Jrmny Anoronrtattena: The cost of the army appropriations for 1906-1907 is about the same in Germany. as in France, $156,600,000; in Great Britain it is $14,987,000; in the United States, $71,817,165. A FOOD CONVERT. Good Food the True Road to Health. ‘The pernicious habit some persons still have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve dyspepsia, keeps up the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion —dyspepsia—is caused by what is put into the stomach in the way of improper food, the kind that so taxes the strength of the di- gestive organs they are actually erip- pled. When this state is reached, to resort to stimulants is like whipping a tired horse with a big load. Every addi- tional effort he makes under the lash increases his loss of power to move the load, ‘Try helping the stomach by leaving off heavy, greasy, indigestible food and take on Grape-Nuts—light, easily di- gested, full of stzength for nerves and brain, in every grain of it. ‘There's no waste of time nor energy when Grape- Nuts is the food. “Tam an enthustastic user of Grape- Nuts and consider it an {deal food,” writes a Maine man: “I had nervous dyspepsia and was ail run down and my food seemed to do me but little good, From reading an adv. I tried Grape-Nuts food, and after a few weeks’ steady use of it, felt greatly improved. “Am much stronger, not nervous now, and can do more werk without feeling so tired, and am better every way “I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream and use four heaping teaspoonful at a meal. I am sure there are thou- sands of persons with stomach trou- ble who would be benefited by using Grape-Nuts.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, Read the lit ts book, “The Road to Wellville,” ip pkgs. “There's a reason,” ; State Happenings.

Our hospitals are full of women who are there for just such operations! It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resouree, but such cases are much rarer than is generally supposed, because a great many women have been cured by Lydia B.

It was a grand affair. Mrs. Mary Wilson, of 141 Morgan street, was conducting the affair. The several societies marched in, and Capt. C. H. Tandy was called for and made a grand talk. J. W. Wheeler was introduced and presented the several prizes to the different societies that were out, after which the guests enjoyed themselves to a late hour, while our reporter noticed many things. Little Miss Helen Hargot and Edith Stevens were kept busy. Items From the Ball. Mrs. Martha Mitchell and Mrs. Jones, 1321 Morgan, formerly of 1318 Chestnut street, looked as gay as a lark. Mrs. N. Price is terribly bothered about someone not being here. Mrs. Fred C. Williams was there, and her diamonds excelled all. Mrs. Mamie Hicks (nee McKay), the youngest daughter of Mrs. McKay, was married just five weeks ago. Mrs. Jennie Scott (nee McKay), who was married one year ago, is now looking younger than either of her daughters. Mrs. Carrie Ceary (nee Galloway) is also the daughter of Mrs. Jennie Scott (nee Galloway). Mrs. Rogers, of 2618 Pine street, was there, looking sober as a judge. Mrs. S. A. Collins, of 3220 Hickory street, was watching after things, and looking after the interest of her converts. Mrs. Bertha Rhodes, of the Grand Leader, was looking as gay as a girl of ten years of age. Mrs. Butler, of 2810 Sheridan avenue, has taught the old man a lesson which he will long remember. Mrs. Dupee, better known as Caesar, was looking as gay as a pullet of last spring. Mrs. Annie Hallon, of 1715 Gratiot street, was there, but did not have the Olive Leaf drill with her. Mrs. H. H. Thompson, district deputy grand master of U. B. F., better known as Czar of Russia, was there. Mrs. Julia Tyler was looking after the cash that was received from the refreshments. Mr. Sam Lucas was dancing with a girl about 14 years of age. It is possible he is about 70 years of age. Oh, I wish he would come around and see the Palladium man. Miss Will Hyde of 2822 Walnut street was there and she might be yet secretary of the Palladium. Mrs. Robert L. Harris was there, also, of 2109 Walnut, a young married lady. Mrs. Nellie of 1024 Leffingwell avenue was looking after her children, but acting a girl. Miss Lizzie Thompson, 3103 Lawton avenue, was dressed as a red bird. She was the center of attraction of the hall for dancing. Mrs. Josie Darling, of 4015 Cosens avenue, is chairman today, as she was 25 years ago, when she was but a child. Oh, you ought to see her. Mrs. Cenda Tillman is about $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet tall and is as busy as a bee waiting table at 408 Wash street. Beatrice Randolph Madian, princess of juvenile, is a good officer and the Palladium man has known her since she was a baby. Mrs. Sommers, who was at the hall, hasn't got over the scare she received under J. W. Wheeler, A. V. K. D. of A. Sunday Concerts. The Sunday concert was well attended Sunday afternoon, and the efforts of Prof. Blue and his band were enthusiastically received. The vocalization of Mrs. Melanie Macklin-Pruelt was encored several times. Sergt. James R. Gillespie gave a ten-minute talk on the subject, "Three Years with the Moros," which, though the speaker spoke without notes, held his audience interested and amused throughout the time he occupied the platform. Next Sunday Rev. R. H. Cole will deliver the address, and Mrs. Edith Harrison and Mr. L. W. Harris will contribute to the musical portion of the program. J. H. Forker, a delegate of the Athorliety, is to act as politician in the Twenty-fifth ward.
