Never in the history of the Grand Lodge has there been a more successful quarter. The lodge paid in during the first quarter $2,045.25. Eighteen deaths were reported from all quarters of the order. The six lodges paying the highest amount for the first quarter were: 1. St. Paul Lodge, No. 3, Hannibal, Mo., $95.20. 2. C. H. Williams Lodge, No. 105, Lexington, Mo., $55.25. 3. A. B. Moore Lodge, No. 122, Jefferson City, Mo., $52.70. 4. Crespus Attucks Lodge, No. 62, Columbus, Mo., $49.30. 5. Elijah Lodge, St. Louis, Mo., $42.50. 6. Peaceful Path Lodge, Kansas City, $42.50. These are the banner lodges and the masters and officers and members work together for the good of each other, and the Grand Lodge in general. The Temples hold in the Grand WRIGH DEATH ROLL. Lodge for the first quarter, $3,262.95. Thus the sisters of the S. M. T. are yet leading and they pleasure in holding up the arms of the Grand Master and the Grand Princess. The six Temples paying in the highest amount are: Eliżabeth Temple, No. 12, St. Louis, Mo., $104.55. Bright Light Temple, No. 109, Fayette, Mo., $94.70. Mary Magdalene Temple, No. 10, Boonville, Mo., $68.00. Elizabeth Temple, No. 3, Hannibal, Mo., $73.00. Rebecca Temple, No. 2, St. Louis, Mo., $61.20. Thus we can see where the brain and sinew of the order is. It is an undeniable fact that there is no order in America doing the amount of good that is being done by the order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. Juvenile lodges paid in this quarter $391.40. The leading Juveniles are: Perfect, Hillsdale, Mo., $10.62. White Rose, New Madrid, Mo., $9.60. Aron Green, Bunceton, Mo., $9.00.

Socially it was the most pleasant day in the history of the church. The spirit of making others happy seemed to be infused into the heart of every individual. One of the creditors came out in the afternoon and spent between $25 and $30. After dining himself, he went away elated, saying he never had a better time. At night the Auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity to witness and listen to the most unique programme ever rendered in the church, entitled "The Women's Rights Convention." It gave general satisfaction. The rally closed Sunday night with about $650 in the hands of the trustees. With our intrepid leader, Rev. W. C. Williams, at the head of the helm, our motto shall be: "More and better work." NOTICE! From date, all matter sent to this office for publication under the guise of church matters will be charged for. Free matter coming from the churches, Y. M. C. A. or colleges will be allowed free for two inches; over that we charge five cents per line.

We wish them well. We all, more or less, want medicine and toillets of all kinds. These articles may be purchased at Mosby's drug store, 809 Jefferson ave. The Central League Club will meet next Sunday. The secretary was absent at the last meeting, hence our reason for not having a report. The number of Jim Crow Niggers in the city is alarming. A number of them are attending high school. But they can be found at the Jim Crow rink nightly. Several persons have inquired of us where could they get about twelve Jim Crow Niggers that have a little book learning. I told them to go to these Jim Crow rinks. Mr. A. A. Brooks' skating rink, 2120 Market street, is crowded at every session. If there were not so many Jim Crow Niggers in St. Louis, the Douglas skating rink would also be in demand. We have several new applicants for membership in the edad beat society. The first week in January, 1907, an election will be held. One man has 260 shares—if he votes his shares for himself, he will be made president. Dr. Alice Martin, of 1507 Pine street, is a member of Lucile E.

This is one of the best drug stores that you can trade at. Mr. Mosby is a young man and one of the most progressive young men in the city. He is kind and pleasant to all and delights in making others happy and contented. We ask, for him, your patronage. An Ante-Nuptial Breakfast. Mrs. E. Hicks, of 2633 Lawton ave., gave a breakfast in honor of Miss Clara Hutt, consisting of seven courses, at 10 o'clock, Sunday morning, Nov. 25.

MACK Telephone Number Central: 5265 LEARN IT NOW. Bishop A. Mack, who is conducting a revival meeting at the Union Baptist church, 70th and Chestnut streets, Quincy, Ill., and the N.G. E. M. and the great Baptist evangelizer of the world, is certainly waking things up here. He preached Mr. Richard Figgins' fu- W. H. Mosby's Pharmacy. The many friends of Mr. Mosby will be pleased to know that this beautiful drug store is now controlled by a company of three, like the Palladium. Mrs William is president; Mr. Houston is secretary; Mr. Mosby is treasurer. They will start out as having the finest and best equipped drug store. Their goods are first-class and fresh, being the best that can be secured, and we take this pleasant opportunity to ask, for him, your patronage. Remember, as you make your rounds each day, don't forget to pass into his place of business and remind him that you saw these several notices in the Palladium. If you should read this in your neighbor's paper go to his place and he will show you his splendid assortment of goods at 809 N. Jefferson avenue. MR. H. W. WHITFIELD Will Soon Take a Long Needed Vacation. Mr. Whitfield is a messenger in the Revenue Department and he has held that position for the past nine years with credit to himself and his race; also the government, or Mr. Allen, the present revenue collector, has the utmost confidence in Mr. Whitfield. He will leave on the twentieth of December for Pittsburg, Penn., and remain there three days. From there he will go to Boston and spend several days; from there to New York City, remain two days, with stop over; from there he will go to St. Paul, Minn., to visit his grandchild, Hazel Whitfield, and before returning home he will visit several Northern and Western cities. Mr. Whitfield is one among the many that has the respect and confidence of the Negro of St. Louis and State. We wish him a successful and pleasant trip. When the Republicans are contesting in the campaign he is among the leading men in the front rank, urging for the success of the Grand Old Party. A Grand Parlor Social. At the residence of Mrs. Mary Lawrence, 2834 Adams street, Thursday evening, December 13, 1906. Admission, 5 cents.

This is given under the auspices of Ruth Temple No. 163 of the S. M. T. neral sermon Sunday afternoon to a large congregation. Mr. Figgin died very happy. The night before he died he attended church and sang "Till Soon Be Resting On That Rock." The bishop preached an able sermon. Text: Revelations, 13-14. Literary and Musical At Quinn's Chapel A literary and musical programme was rendered at Quinn's chapel, A. M. M. E. church of Corondelet on Thanksgiving night, which as an evening's entertainment far exceeded anything of its kind ever rendered in the city. Mr. Alonza Taylor, who is both an artist and a mechanical genius, generously donated his services in the stage management and scenic effects, and the result was a marvelously beautiful display of his talents. The house was packed beyond comfort, but the audience was so delighted with the programme that they ceased to feel the discomfort caused by the immense crowd. The scenery of the stage represented a temple of Jerusalem, and the soft mellow of the footlights, with the beautiful music by voices of the unseen choir floating out in melody, made one imagine they were going on the holy city in reality. The following programme was rendered: 1. An opening chorus of the Suanne river, with Miss Rosa Harris as soloist, showed a scene of a river with a stamboat wending its way south. 2.

THE PRESIDENT'S ANNUAL MESSAGE Recommends Legislation on New and Important Subjects. INCOME - INHERITANCE TAX He Believes Such Laws Would Curb Growth of Fortunes to Dangerous Proportions, His Views on Negro Question—Asks for Currency Reform, and Shipping Bill—Would Make Citizens of Japs—Many Other Important Subjects Discussed. Washington, Dec. 2.—The notable features of President Roosevelt's annual message to congress are his appeal for the enactment into law of several bills introduced into congress last winter and spring; his views on the negro problem; the scorn he gives those from terms "preachers of discontent"; the stand he takes for the control of corporations by the federal government under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution; and his recommendation for "inherent law." Many other subjects common to messages of the chief executive are touched far off by the greatest importance. He especially urges the passage of the bill prohibiting corporations from contributing to campaign funds, and also that one which would give the government the power to deal in criminal cases. Of this he says: Injunctions. On the subject of the abolition of in- tutions in labor disputes, he says: junctions in labor disputes, he says: "Junctions have the enactment of a law in connection with the issuance of injunctions, attention having been sharply drawn to the matter by the demand that the right of applying injunctions in labor cases should be made clearer. I also believe whether a law abolishing altogether the use of injunctions in such cases would stand the test of the courts; in which case the use of injunctions would ineffective. Moreover, I believe it would be wrong altogether to prohibit the use of injunctions. It is criminal to permit sympathy with criminals to weaken our hands in upholding the law; and if men are not sympathetic to the law, violence there should be no impairment of the power of the courts to deal with them in the most summary and effective way possible. But so far as possible the law should provide against by some such law as I advocated last year. The Negro Problem. The negro problem is given considerable attention, after calling attention to the fact that the section of the country is free from faults that the blacks have occasion to jeer at the shortcomings of any other section, he turns to the subject, lynchings, and especially as applied to the blacks. He argues that the greatest existing cause for mob law is the perpetration by the blacks of the lynchings, and that the blacks even worse than murder. He quotes the admonitions to the white people spoken by Gov. Candler, of Georgia, some years ago, by a boy, Jeks, of Alabama, recently, and at "Every colored man should realize that the worst enemy of his race is the groat criminal who commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt as in the highest degree an offense the colored race in particular, for a colored man to fail to help the officers of the law in hunting down with all his such infamous offender. Moreover, in my judgment, the crime of rape should always be punished with death, as is the case with the punishment may follow immediately after tent to commit rape should be made a capital crime, at least in the discretion of the court; and provision should be made that the punishment may follow immediately after the trial should be conducted that the victim need not be wantonly shamed while giving testimony; and that the publicity shall be given to the details. The members of the white race on the other hand should understand that much a loosening of the bands of civilization; that the spirit of lynching inevitably throws into prominence in the creatures who dwell therein. No man can take part in the torture of a human being without having his own creature lowered. Every lynching means just so moral deterioration in all the children who have any knowledge of it, and therefore just so much additional crime for the next generation of Americans. "Let justice be both sure and swift; but let it be justice under the law, and not the wild and crooked savagery of a mob. Capital and Labor. On the subject of capital and labor the president takes the agitators of class hatred to task and says "to preach hatred to the rich man, as such, . . . to seek mislead and insecure to mal- hatred to the poor, hard and who have not the kind of mental training which will permit them to appreciate the canger in the doctrines preached is to commit a crime against the body politic and to be false to every worthy national life." Continuing on this subject he says: "The plain people who think-the mechanics, farmers, merchants, work- Railroad Employees' Hours. He asks for the passing of the bill limiting the number of hours of employment of railroad employees, and classes the measure as a very moderate measure, but not so strictly to steadily reduce the number of hours of labor, with as a goal the general introduction of an eight-hour day, but in particular the conditions are so different from what they are here that the introduction of an eight-hour day on the canal would be absurd, and continues, "just about as absurd as it is, so far as the lsthmus is employed, to bother as to whether the work is done by alien black men or alien yellow men." He urges the enactment of a drastic change in the laws of the canal, limb and the territories, and a federal investigation of the subject of child and female labor throughout the country. He reviews the work of the commission in the coal fields of Pennsylvania in 1902, and refers to the wish of the commission "that the state and federal governments should provide the machinery for what is required of compulsory investigation of controversies in the employers and employees when they arise." Control of Corporations. A considerable portion of the message is devoted to the subject of federal control of corporations in what he refers to the passage at the last session of the rate, meat inspection and food laws, and to the fact that the government has identified their enactment, but recommends the amendment of the meat inspection law so as to put dates on the labels of meat products, and also to place the cost inspection on the packers rather than on the government. This subject of the control of corporations by the federal government he says: Inheritance and Income Tax. It was expected that the president would refer in some way to his belief in the necessity for the curbing of enormous fortunes, and he has done so by recommending legislation for both income and tax. If the government should impose a graduated inheritance tax, and, if possible, a graduated income tax. He says: "I am well aware that such a subject as this needs long and careful study in order to be able to deal with what is proposed to be done, may clearly see the necessity of proceeding with wisdom and self-restraint, and may make up his mind just how hard he will trying to go in matter; while only trained legislators can work out the project in necessary detail. But I feel that in the near future our nation will be required to impose a tax for a graduated inheritance tax by which a steadily increasing rate of duty should be put upon all moneys or other valuables coming from the state, and an individual or corporation. It may be well to make the tax heavy in proportion as the individual benefited is remote . . . kin. In any event, in my opinion, it is desirable to increase very heavily with the increase of the amount left to any one individual after a certain point has been reached. It is most desirable to encourage birth and marriage to a certain extent of thrift and ambition is the desire on the part of the breadwinner to leave his children well off. This object can be attained by amounts of property left; because the prime object should be to put a constantly increasing burden on the inheritance of those swollen fortunes which are not so good to this country in percentage. There can be no question of the eth- tic nature of the conditions to be re- temining the conditions upon which any gift or inheritance should be received, and the fact that such a would as an incident, have the effect of limiting the transmission by clause or gift of the enormous fortunes in question. It is wise that progress in this direction should be gradual. At first a permanent tax should be more substantial than any such tax has hitherto been, need not approximate, either in amount or in the extent of the tax, to what such a tax should ultimately be. Agricultural Interests. He appeals for every encouragement that the congress can give to the agrarianists, and he points to the good that is being done by the various forms of grange organiza- "Several factors must cooperate in the improvement of the farmer's condition. He must have the chance to be educated education and the facts of life. In all cases, the farmer must be kept in mind which keeps ever in view the intimate relationship between the theory of education and the facts of life. In all cases, a good citizen is a good thing to produce a certain number of trained scholars and students; but the education superintended by the state must seek rather to produce a humble good citizen, merely one scholar, and must be turned away then from the class book to the study of the great book of nature itself. This is especially true of the farmer, as has been pointed out again and again by all theoretical judgment on the problems of our country life. All students now realize that education must seek to train the farmer in the highest degree confer more real significance upon the phrase "dignity of labor," and to prepare the pupils so that in addition to each developing in the highest degree of education, the farmer may together help create a right public opinion, and show in many ways social and cooperative spirit. Organization has become necessary in the business world; and the farmer is in the world of labor. It is no less necessary for farmers. Such a movement as the grange movement is good in itself and is capable of a well-nigh infinite future, and it is kept to its own legitimate business. The benefits to be derived by the association of farmers for mutual advantage are partly economic and partly sociological. Currency Reform. Amendments to the present currency laws are asked for, and after showing that present laws are inadequate because of the fluctuation of interest charges, he says: "The mere statement of these facts shows that our present system is seriouly change. Unfortunately, however, many of the proposed changes must be ruled from consideration because they are complicated, are not easy of comprehension, and are not existing rights and interests. We must rule out any plan which would materially impair the value of the United States government, and not pledge the necessary circulation, in which was made under conditions peculiarly creditable to the treasury. I believe we have assessed and planned hands have recently been proposed by expert committees of bankers. Among the plans which are possibly feasible and which certainly should receive our attention, are those brought to your attention by the present secretary of the treasury, the essential features of which have been identified by the bankers and business men. According to plan national banks should be permitted to issue a specified proportion of their capital in notes of a given denomination, and to lend a rate as to drive the notes back when not wanted in legitimate trade. This plan would not permit the issue of notes of a given denomination and profits, but to meet the emergency presented by times of stringency. He again asks for free trade with this country for the Philippines and in the United States, but by this country in the islands, and says "if we have erred in the Philippines it has been proceeding too rapidly in division of labor, to have a large measure of self-government." Naturalization of Japs. President Roosevelt scores San Francisco and other Pacific coast cities for making the following recommendations: "I recommend to the congress that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of Japanese who come to the United States to form citizens. One of the great embarrassments attending the performance of our international obligations is the fact that the statutes of the United States govern the nation intuitively. The fall to give to the national government sufficiently ample power, through United States courts and by the use of the rights secured to them under solemn treaties which are the law of the land. I therefore earnestly recommend that the criminal and civil statutes of the United States be amended to as to enable the president, acting for the United States government, which is responsible in our international relations under treaties. Even as the law now is something can be done by the federal government toward this end, and in the matter now before me affecting the Japan and United States, we must do to will be done, and all of the forces, military and civil, of the United States which I may lawfully employ will be able to do so. There is no particle of doubt as to the power of the national government completely to perform and enforce its own obligations to other nations. The mob of a single city will be able to attack lawless violence against some class of foreigners which would plunge us into war. The city by itself would be powerless against the foreign power thus assaulted, and independent of this government, it would never venture to perform or permit the performance of the acts complained of. The duty to protect the offending city or to bring community lives in the hands of the United States government. It is unthinkable that we should continue a political struggle to commit to a crime against friendly nation, and the United States government limited, not to preventing the commission of the crime, but in the case of a crime that we should have committed it against the consequences of their own wrongdoing." American citizenship should be con- fered with Porto Rico. The harbor of San Juan in Porto Rico should be dredged and improved. The expenses of the federal court of Porto Rico should be met from the federal government. The added factions of Porto Rico, together with those of the Philippines, Hawaii and our other insular possessions, should all be direct- ly managed by the executive department; by preference the department of state or the department of war. Cuban Intervention The rebellion in Cuba and the Incidents leading up to the establishment of the provisional government is reviewed, and the president says: "When the election has been held and the new government inaugurated in peaceful and orderly fashion of the provisional government of the island, I take this opportunity of expressing upon behalf of the American people, with all possible solemnity, our most urgent request to that it shall prosper more formally and materially, and serving the imperative need of serving justice and keeping order in the island. The United States wishes nothing more, and therefore to preserve their self-governing power, we come a farce, and if the insurrectionary becomes confirmed in the island, it is absolutely out of the question that the island shall continue independent; and the United States will see that the sponsorship before the civilized world for Cuba's career as a nation, would against its intervene and to see that government be supported in such orderly fashion as to secure the sea of life and property. The path to be trodden by those who exercise self-government, and we should have every charity and padron of Cubans as they tread this difficult path. I have the utmost sympathy with, and respect for the earnestly adquire their solemnly to work their responsibilities and to see that new government is started it shall run smoothly, and with freedom from fiasco and light on the one hand, and from insurrectionary disturbances on the other." On the subject of the Panama canal he promise a special message in the near future. Grand Royal House Officers. A. D. Hyatt, M. E. G. Q., St. Louis. E. D. Hudson, M. N. G. K., Kansas City. H. H.

A WEEKLY VISITOR Calling on 170,000 Colored People in the City of St. Louis, and the State of Missouri..... An Afro-American Newspaper, Published For The Good Of The Race..... ...$200 A YEAR... IS ANXIOUS PRESIDENT LET THE SENATORS KNOW HE COURTED PEN- ROSE RESOLUTION. THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL Proposal That This Measure Be So Amended as to Limit Subsidies to South American and Oriental Trade. Washington—During the debate in the senate on the Penrose and Foraker resolutions in reference to the discharge of negro troops, the report was current among senators that the president felt it would be a matter of courtesy if the resolution should be addressed to himself, and so strong, it was said, was this feeling on his part, that he had intimated that unless this course was taken, there would be no response. Both Resolutions Adopted. Washington—The senate adopted the Penrose resolution, asking the president for information regarding the discharge of the negro troops of the Twenty-fifth infantry; also the Foraker resolution, directing the secretary of war to transmit information on the same subject. Both resolutions carried an identical amendment by Mr. Culberson, asking specifically for the order to Maj. Penrose commanding the troops, which directed him not to turn over to the Texas authorities certain of the troops demanded. This action followed two hours' debate on the propriety of asking the president for the information, or of directing the secretary of war to furnish it. Mr. Spooner urged that in matters where congress had an absolute right to information in the possession of the executive, it had always been customary to direct a cabinet officer to furnish it. In matters where it had not this right, and in which there was some doubt about the advisability of publicity, congress usually made a request on the president if it desired the information with the understanding that it should be furnished "if not incompatible with the public interest." This view was supported also by Mr. Foraker, while Mr. Lodge quoted precedents to the contrary. The Ship Subsidy Bill. Washington—Compromise on the ship subsidy bill seems to be in sight. At the meeting of the house committee on merchant marine and fisheries, Chairman Grosvenor suggested an amendment to the Gallinger bill, which will limit subsidies to the South American and oriental trade. The amended bill will be in harmony with Secretary Root's policy for trade extensions as outlined in recent speeches in the west. Representative Watson, of Indiana, the republican whip, expressed the opinion that the committee could get a favorable report on a bill limiting the subsidies to Latin-American and oriental lines. The Rural Delivery. Washington—Fourth Assistant Postmaster General De Graw has made public a report on the operations of the rural delivery service up to Dec. 1, 1906, showing that the total number of petitions for the establishment of the service thus far received is 54,605, upon 15,453 of which adverse reports were made. Defeated Littlefield's Bill. Washington—The house, by a vote of 110 to 164, defeated the bill of Representative Littlefield, of Maine, removing discriminations against American sailing vessels in the coasting trade. The result of the vote was a surprise to the friends of the measure, who openly charged its defeat to the American Federation of Labor. Cotton Growing in Africa. Cotton Growing in Africa. Manchester, Eng.-Delivering an address at the banquet of the Brittish Cotton Growing association. Winston Spencer Churchill, under secretary for the colonies, referred to the necessity of building a railroad in Nigeria, to assist in the development of cotton growing. He said the day was not far distant when Great Britain would be forced to embark upon a great scheme for the amalgamation of the West African colonies of Sierra Leon, the Gold Coast and the two Nigerias, which he characterized as an empire. San Francisco Stands Pat. San Francisco, Cal.—The San Francisco board of education will stand by its decision to confine the Japanese school children to the Oriental school. The sentiments of President Roosevelt, as expressed in his message to congress, will not affect their position according to President Altmann of the board, who announced that the board will do all in its power to correct the impression given out by the president's message, which says the Japanese are excluded from San Francisco public schools.

Roman soldiers performed the act, but they were only instruments for carrying out the decree of Pilate, given to appease the bitter hatred of the Jewish rulers. It was more truly the Jews who crucified Jesus. "Malefactors." Evil-doers. Another account calls them thieves. V. 34. "Father, forgive them." This was the first of Jesus' seven sayings from the cross. "Know not what they do." The soldiers were executing orders, and did not know the character of the one they crucified. Pilate and the Jews knew that they were putting to death an innocent man. V. 35. "The people stood beholding." Jerusalem was thronged with visitors at this the Passover season. "Rulers . . . derided him." Jewish rulers, probably members of the Sanhedrin, were anxious that all should know that they repudiated the one who was being crucified as "King of the Jews." "He saved others." Sarcastically implying a disbelief in his miracles of healing. "Let him save himself." Or, as recorded by Matthew: "Himself he cannot save." Thus was uttered in jest an eternal and universal truth. Jesus could not save himself, and yet saved men. V. 36. "Mocked him . . . offering him vinegar." They took, probably, some of the sour wine they had brought to refresh themselves, and pretended to offer it as a festive cup to the kingly victim. V. 37. "If thou be king." To the Gentile soldiers Christ's claim that he was a king seemed most absurd, and so they jested about this. V. 38. "Superscription." On a white tablet made of wood coated with gypsum, was written in black letters the accusation for which he suffered. Pilate had this superscription written in three languages—in Hebrew for the Jews, in Latin for the Romans, and in Greek, that strangers and foreigners might read. V. 39. "Malefactors which were hanged." Perhaps these men were tied to their crosses by cords. "Ralled on him." This one joined in mocking Jesus. V. 40. "The other rebuked him." Perhaps it was the meekness Jesus showed, or his prayer for his murderers, or his confidence in calling God "Father," or his whole bearing, that convinced the one malefactor that Jesus was not only innocent, but that he was what he claimed to be—Lord of men. V. 41. "We indeed justly." He acknowledged that his own sentence was just. We believe that he was truly penitent for his sins. "Hath done nothing amiss! We do not know how much he had known about Jesus before this time, but at any rate he was convinced that Jesus was an innocent man. V. 42. "Lord, remember me." He believes in Jesus' love and feels His ability to save. V. 43. "To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise." The man had prayed for a blessing in a far distant day, but Jesus grants him what shall be realized to-day. V. 44. "Sixth hour . . . ninth hour." From noon until three p. m., a miraculous darkness enveloped Judea, as if the sun hid his face from beholding the wickedness of men. V. 45. "Sun was darkened." This explanation endorses the testimony of astronomy that an eclipse of the sun at the time of full moon was impossible (the Passover was celebrated at full moon), hence the darkness must have been supernatural. "The veil of the temple was rent." This rending signified that the way of access into the very presence of God was opened by Christ. V. 46. "When." At the moment Jesus felt that he was about to lose consciousness, after having pronounced the words "It is finished," he cried "with a loud voice," showing that his physical powers were not exhausted, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." He committed his soul, as he had committed all else, to the care of the Father. "Gave up the ghost." Breathed out his life. The word used indicates the voluntary surrender of life. Practical Points. V. 33. The spotless Lamb of God died in the midst of sinners, by and for man's sin.—1 Pet. 3:18. V. 34. As we think how much Christ forgave us, surely we should forgive all who sin against us.—Eph. 4:32. V. 36. The Christian need not marvel if, like his Master, he is called upon to endure the reproach of men—1 Cor. 4:13. V. 37. By living for self, one loses all that makes life worth living.—Mark 8:35. V. 42. He whom we so often forget, ever remembers us.—Isa. 49:15. V. 45. Through Jesus we have immediate access to the very heart of God.—Heb. 10:19, 20. V. 46. Let us freely give our lives to him who gave his life for us.—2 Cor. 5:15. SOUTHERN RAILWAY LEXINGTON, KY. Trains Leave Union Station 10:00 A.M. 10:10 P.M.

Jones, wife of Dr. W. P. T. Jones, appeared in the concert at Central Baptist church Thanksgiving evening, given for the benefit of the Poor Saints. Mrs. Jones was applauded from the time her name was called until she faced the audience. She charmed them with her voice and recitations so that she was compelled to respond with a selection the third time. She is a well known, talented and cultured elocutionist, and is among the best impersonators in the profession, and is able to sway an audience at will. She was handsomely attired in a black silk jumper suit and looked as pretty as a picture. First Baptist Church of Kinloch Park Church Directory. Sunday school at 10 o'clock a. m.

It is hoped that a large crowd will turn out to hear him. The covenant meeting was a loving one and quite a number gave testimony of their faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ. The financial rally was a success. Something over one hundred ($100) dollars was raised. The Church is getting along splendid just now. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH. Antioch Baptist chuch will hold Covenant and Communion services Sunday, the 9th inst., at which time all members are expected to be present, it being the last of the year. Mrs. Eugene Houston of 315 South 22d street, will entertain the Women's N. D. S. club Thursday, the 13th, at 2 p. m. Business of importance. preached a powerful sermon. Quite a number of the churches were present and all seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

[Image of a man in formal attire, holding a book or tablet, standing in front of a plain background]. The executive board of the W. H. F. M. and E. convention of the Antioch Missionary Baptist association held their quarterly meeting Saturday, the 1st, at Central Baptist church. A very pleasant meeting was had. After business was over the board was entertained by Central Circle. All enjoyed the lunch of ham sandwiches, cake, ice cream and coffee. Sister Mary A. Thornton, president; Sister Squenia Davis, corresponding secretary. Sometimes, in dreams, I see a room With massive walls and fair; Sometimes, the room I see in dreams is homely, small and bare; The table waits, the kettle steams, O'er all the cheery firelight streams, And you are there. What matter, dear, which dream come true, The mansion rich and rare, The little cottage hid from view In God's own sunshine, wind and dew. If you are there? Home. Negro high school girls, instead of going to church or out with their mother or father are allowed to remain at home with a dude. Well! Well! When girls leave school at 2:30 and don't get home until 5 o'clock, who takes any notice of it? The mothers don't care and always make an excuse for her. Don't you see? Why the mother is in the game. When women or men tell mother that their girls are doing what they ought not to do, and she should look leedle out, and the mother says: "She is as good as any other girl, and she is doing nothing wrong," you must — her yourself. Why is it that some girls who have no visible means of living can dress like a girl, whose mother and father have an income? People will talk. Everybody must work. If you don't these people will talk, and that rightfully. Don't you see? When girls are so common with every strange Negro that happens to have a suit of clothes on not paid for, this is the reason they never get married. They become so common that a man don't want them, as they are a good thing for all men. A certain old cat said to a lady: "I passed you the other day and you did not speak to me." "Did you mean to make fun or light of me?" She answered and said: "No; I am not in the habit of speaking to cats when I see them." We would ask this question: What has become of Cooper and Logan? The Negro "toughs" are still in the saddle on Jeff ave., and Market street. The La Salle street girl comes up with two or three boys from school and there holds a "crow convention." Cooper and Logan had better look a leedle out. There have been bad things in all walks of life, but the worst of all is a Negro man, who has tried to act "white;" then when he thought there was a chance for him to go into business as a Negro to do. When things get all right he starts out as a Negro, but the people know all. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Why is it that when a stray Negro comes to St. Louis begging and says that he could not live in the south, some of the leading Negroes take them up and introduce them in their churches, begging for them. These same Negroes leave St. Louis and villify us, because we don't turn our pockets out for them. H—— with such. One of the most common of all things is the painting of Negro women's faces. The Negro girls, women and children are trying to change their color. We have a keg of white lead and a keg of red paint, which we will sell the La Salle street girls cheap, as we know they cannot pay the drug store prices. At school and at the halls they are the same ugly frights. We know they do not kiss much, or the young men would be poisoned by that nasty stuff on their cheeks. Oh! you ought to see them! Y. M. C. A. NOTES The noon-day prayer meetings are still on at the association under the leadership of Rev. J. T. Brown. We will be pleased to have any one who will to join us in the revival of righteousness in the association and in all St. Louis. No one, I am sure, will differ with us in this matter. We wish to express our high appreciation for the excellent program rendered by the Congressional ladies on our last ladies' evening. Miss Henrietta Mornan and her associates acquitted themselves creditably. The young men are using their choicest words in speaking of the culture displayed by the ladies. The educational work of the Y. M. C. A. begins Tuesday, November 4th. The branches taught are stenography, typewriting, English history, penmanship, bookkeeping, commercial law, arithmetic, Spanish, French, German, civil government and elementary branches.

He that is cold of hand and black of wing Alighted by a peasant's hut. The door Stood open half in heartless welcoming— The grim guest cast his shadow on the floor! Chill was the night, and bare the humble room; The fagots on the ashen hearth burned low; A mother rocked her first-born in the gloom, And watched the breath of fever come and go. "In vain I stay for sup and lodging here," Said Death—the cold of hand and black of wing— "For poverty and want and woe and fear Have brought already all I dare to bring!" Straightway he took his shadow from the floor, And passed into the castle of a king— And when, at dawn, he fluttered from that door, he bore the heir of millions 'neath his wing! —ALOYSIUS COLL.

The Missouri state university will open and maintain a medical college in Kansas City if the city will furnish a site, buildings and equipment. Recently Walter Williams, chairman of the executive board of the university, presented the proposition to about 50 representative citizens at a dinner at the Hotel Baltimore. Following a general expression that an effort should be made to meet the requirements of the board, it was decided that J. V. C. Karnes, the toastmaster, should appoint a committee of ten members to see what could be done. "If the college is to be established in Kansas City it must be on a large scale," said Mr. Williams. "The desire of the board is to develop a school there which will compare with the John Hopkins school, the Harvard medical college, and the Rush medical college. We went to have the biggest medical college west of the Allegheny mountains. If the people of Kansas City will furnish a site, buildings and equipment the university will always maintain the college. To Vote on Prohibition. That the voters of Missouri will have submitted to them for rejection or approval at the next election the question as to whether the state shall join Maine, Iowa and Kansas, and adopt prohibition is rumored at Kansas City. At the instance of the Anti-Saloon League, it is said, a resolution will be introduced in the house after the session begins, proposing an amendment to the constitution making Missouri a prohibition state. The league, it is claimed, has sent a circular letter to the members of the legislature, asking what position they will take in the event such a resolution is introduced and feels so encouraged from the replies received that the matter will be presented. To Fix Express Limits. Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general, gave as his opinion to the board of railroad and warehouse commissioner that the board has full power under the law to establish free delivery limits in cities for express companies, to extend them as they may deem proper and to fix the charges for express matter deliverea beyond the free delivery limits as fixed by the board. To Benefit Farmers' Boys. The Missouri State university will organize three classes for an eight weeks' course in agriculture in January and February. The course is for the benefit of boys who have not the time or money for a full course in the agricultural college which is a branch of the university. Three courses are to be offered—plant propagation, animal husbandry and dairying. Missouri Military Commissions. Military commissions were ordered issued by Gov. Folk as follows: O. G. Jones, second lieutenant Company G, and Charles E. Wright, second lieutenant of Company E. Second regiment N. G. M.; E. H. Shuey to be lieutenant colonel, and H. L. Buemer and J. E. Mort to be majors of the cadet corps of the St. Charles Military academy of St. Charles. A Senator Vest Story. Champ Clark tells of Senator Vest's rebuke to a St. Charles tavern keeper who served him with mighty weak coffee. "My friend," said Senator Vest, "I could insert a coffer bean in my mouth, dive into the Missouri river, swim to the town of Alton, Ill., and I'll guarantee that one could ball up much better coffer than this over the entire route." For Uniform Assessments. For Uniform Assessments. The executive committee of the Mo. Association of Assessors met at the court house in Jefferson City in pursuance of instructions given at the last annual meeting of that body to consider and draft a law to be presented to the next general assembly, which will provide for a uniform assessment of all classes of taxable property in this state. Negro Train Caller Killed. William Brown a negro the night train caller for the Missouri Pacific, was run over and killed in the yard at Jefferson City by a switch engine. Brown had just left the trainmaster's office to call a crew and it is supposed that he became confused and stepped on the wrong track right in front of the engine. For a Sanitarium. J. R. Chappell, a prominent and wealthy resident of Windsor, Henry county, has offered to give $8,000 to establish a Methodist sanitarium at Windsor. Fair Association Dissolves. At a meeting of the stockholders of the North Missouri Mechanical and Agricultural Association at Chillicothe the directors have taken steps to dissolve the organization and sell the property. Says The Amendments Carried. Secretary Swanger has received an opinion from Attorney General Hadley that the constitutional amendments voted on at the recent election have veterans of the state they each received carried. Where are the Missouri boys? Why are they not in the upper grades of Missouri schools? Dr. C. A. Elwood, professor of sociology in the state university, replies by showing that 25.2 per cent of the Missouri boys between the ages of ten and 15 years are already at work, have left school not to return. The proportion of child laborers is larger in Missouri than in any state except the Southern states. The fact is not pleasant to Missourians to read, but a companion fact is even less pleasant. Missouri has more illiterate children between ten and 15 years of age than the six New England states and Illinois, Iowa and Kansas combined. Moreover, 90 per cent of these illiterate children are white. These facts are sufficient argument for the enactment of a child labor law and for compulsory education. Missouri has the unenviable distinction of having more child illiteracy than any other state except the states of the Far South, where negroes form so great a proportion of the population.—Kansas City Star. A Kansas City Landmark Gone. The old Tremont house, at Kansas City, has served its usefulness. Built in 1866, in the heart of the business district of Kansas City, it stood for years, a representative of Kansas City's industry and social life. It was the hotel where the big dinners and the receptions of the early days were held. Now it's to pass away along with a lot of other old landmarks. The superintendent of buildings has condemned the building as unsafe. The old structure will be vacated in a few days and its site will probably be used for a business building. Its foundations and walls are unstable and the whole building is dilapidated. The old Tremont house was one of the very first hotels built in Kansas City. It is a three-story frame building and in its time it housed some noted guests. In recent years it has been hidden by a large wholesale hardware store and used as a lodging house. Industrial Home Needs. The board of managers of the State Industrial Home For Girls, at Chillicothe, submitted to the legislative junketing committee, appointed by Gov. Folk, its estimate of the needs of that institution for 1907 and 1908, asking for $88,350. This amount will include an appropriation of $30,000 for a new cottage, which is needed at the institution on account of the crowded condition of the three cottages now in use. The negro annex and administration building which were recently built are not furnished and the furnishing of these two buildings is included in the appropriation. It is understood that as a result of its investigations into this and other state institutions the committee will recommend to the governor and the legislators the present system of individual board of managers for each state institution be abolished and that a state board of control to have supervision over all state institutions be created. Was 112 Years Old Mrs. Elsie Williams, better known as "Aunt Elsie," colored, said to be 112 years of age, died recently at her home in Webster Groves near St. Louis. "Aunt Elsie" was buried in a simple white linen dress, which she repeatedly said had been given her by Mrs. Abraham Lincoln. A few days before her death she laid out this garment, which she had carefully preserved, she said half a century. She often told stories of how as a woman she fled and thought the earth had come to an end when the "stars fell" in 1833. She also often related how the children on the plantations climbed trees in order to get a glimpse of the funeral cortege of President Andrew Jackson in 1845. The negress also claimed that she had lived through five war periods in the United States. Looks Like Business. It is announced that the money to build the proposed Kansas City, Nevada & Springfield Electric railroad has been raised. The sum of $5,000 has been deposited in the bank at Nevada as a guarantee that work will begin as soon as the city and county grant the right-of-way, necessary ground for terminals, and raises a bonus of $15,000. The new road will extend from Stotesbury, in the northwest part of Vernon county, through this city and southeast through Cedar, Dade and Greene counties to Springfield. Y. M. C. A. Election.

The Story of Postum Cereal in Words and Pictures. The growth of the Postum Cereal Co. is like a fairy tale, but it is true, every word of it. "The Door Unbolted" is the title of a charming little booklet just issued by the Company which tells, and illustrates, the story of this remarkable growth. It takes the reader from the little white barn in which the business was started, Jan. 1, 1895, through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the "White City" that comprise Postumville, Battle Creek, Mich. The little white barn, so carefully preserved, is a most interesting building, for it represents the humble beginning of one of the country's greatest manufacturing enterprises of today, an enterprise that has grown from this little barn to a whole city of factory buildings within but little more than ten years. No less interesting is the quaint official home of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post and his associates is a reproduction of the Shakespeare house at Stratford-on-Avon, and upon the house and its furnishings has been expended vast sums of money, until the rooms are more like the drawing rooms of the mansions of our multi-millionaires than like offices. That Mr. Post has believed thoroughly in the idea of giving to his employees attractive and healthful work rooms is proven not only by the general office building of the Company and its furnishings, but by his factors as well, and of all of these things this beautiful little booklet tells the interesting story. It will be sent to anyone on request. PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART. Camera Pictures Much More Than Mechanical Reproduction. Few persons could be found who would deny the claims of photography to rank among the fine arts, when skillfully used and properly controlled, since the photography of of to-day is something more than a mechanical reproduction. The individuality of the photographer is being expressed in his work almost as much as is that of the painter. The painter still has the advantage, for while he may give us an impression fuller than that made by nature upon the eye, the photographer can deal only with that which is observed with such unerring fidelity and skill by a mechanical eye. Composition is therefore one of the necessary principles to the photographer, who thus supplies the mechanical eye with a mind, yet he must study lighting at different hours of the day and varying weather conditions that he may know the best effects to be obtained. Many otherwise successful photographers need to realize that scientific accuracy is not necessarily artistic truth, so that, while one actualizes, the definite sharpness may be softened and the effect enhanced.—Home Magazine. To Represent Italy and Spain. To Represent Italy and Spain. The two great Catholic countries of Europe, Italy and Spain, are sending new ambassadors to the court of St. James. The marquis di San Giuliano, who will represent Italy, is comparatively a young man. He comes of an old Sicilian family of Norman descent, and is highly cultured, having traveled extensively with good results. He is an enthusiastic student of Dante, and is president of the Italian Geographical society. Senor Villa Urattia, the new Spanish ambassador, accompanied King Alfonso to London on the momentous occasion that ended in his engagement to Princess Ena, and won golden opinions for his tact and courtesy during that visit. Natives Steal Many Sheep. A farmer at Winburg, Orange River Colony, alleges that in his district alone 24,000 sheep are stolen annually by the natives. On this basis he calculates that 300,000 sheep are stolen throughout the colony every year.

It has been found that mortgage loan sharks are contributing factors in a great many cases.

An ordinance has been introduced making such mortgage of no avail unless they bear the signature of both husband and wife.

"When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills," says Mrs. Nathaniel Field, of St. Albans, Somerset county, Maine. "I was the palest, most bloodless person you could imagine. My tongue and gums were colorless and my fingers and ears were like wax. I had two doctors and they pronounced my trouble anemia. I had spells of vomiting, could not eat, in fact, did not dare to. I had such distress after eating. My stomach was filled with gas which caused me awful agony. The backache I suffered was at times almost unbearable and the least exertion made my heart beat so fast that I could hardly breathe. But the worst of all was the splitting neuralgia headache which never left me for seven weeks. About this time I had had several numb spells. My limbs would be cold and without any feeling and the most deathly sensations would come over me. "Nothing had helped me until I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, in fact, I had grown worse every day. After I had taken the pills a short time I could see that they were benefiting me and one morning I awoke entirely free from pain. The distress after eating disappeared and in three weeks I could eat anything I wanted and suffer no inconvenience. I also slept soundly. I have taken several boxes of the pills and have gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds and am perfectly well now." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure anaemia because they actually make new blood. For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous headaches and many forms of weakness they are recommended even if ordinary medicines have failed.

PAXTON CO., Boston, Mass. --- “gHE FARMER IN WESTERN CANADA. the Quality of No. 1 Hard Wheat Cannot) Se Bedten: SS ee eee eee ‘The Canadian West in the past five or ten years has given a set back to the theory that large cities are the backbone of a country and a nation’s best asset. Here we have a country where no city exceeds 100,000, and where only one comes within easy gistance of that figure according to the census Just taken and where no other city reaches a population ex- ceeding 15,000. The places with a population over 5,000 can be counted upon the fingers of one hand, and yet the prosperity that prevails is some- thing unprecedented in the history of all countries past or present, ‘The reason for this marvelous prosperity is not hard to seek, The Jorge majority of the 810,000 people who inhabit Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have gone on to the farm, and have betaken themselves to the task of not only feeding and clothing Shemselves, but of raising food for others less happily circumstanced, ‘The crop of 1906, although not ab- normal, is an eye-opener to many who previously had, given little thought to the subject. Ninety million bushels of wheat at 70 cents per bushel—$63,000,- 00; 76,000,000 bushels of oats at 30 cents per bushel—$22,800,000; 17,000,- 000 bushels of barley at 40 cents per, pushel—$6,800,000; makes a total of $92,000,000. ‘This is altogether outside the root products; dairy produce, and the returns from the eattle trade; the beet sugar industry and the various other by-products of mixed farming. When such returns are obtainable from the soil it is not to be wondered at that many are leaving the congest- ed districts of the eayst, to take upon themselves the life of the prairie farm and the labor of the housbandman. With the construction of additional railroads new avenues, for agricultur- al enterprise are opening up, and im- proved opportunities are offered to the settler who understands prairie farm- ing, and is willing to do his part in building up the new country. ‘This is the theme that Mr. J. J. Hill, the veteran railroad builder in the ‘West, has laid before the people in a series of addresses which he has given at various points during the past few months, and, having been for so long identified with the devel: opment of the West, there are few men better qualified than he to ex- press an opinion upon it, Take care of the country, says he, and the cities will take care of themselves. ‘The farmers of the Western States and the Canadian West, are more prosperous than ever before, and when it comes to measuring up re- sults, the Canadian appears to have somewhat the better of it. His land fs cheaper in fact, the government continues to give free homesteads to settlers, and the returns per acre are heavier when the crop is harvested. Farming land in the Western States runs from $60 to $150 an acre and up, whereas equally good soil may be pur- chased in Canada for $8 to $15 per acre, within easy reach of a shipping point, and much of this is available for free homesteading. The quality of the Canadian No. 1 hard wheat can not be beaten, and the returns to the acre are several bushels better than on this side of the Ine; the soil and climate of that country being peculiar ly adapted to wheat growing. The fact is evidently appreciated by the large number of American farmers who have in the past two or three years settled in the Canadian West. The agents of the Canadian Government, whose address will be found elsewhere, advise us that for the fiscal year 1904-5, the records show that 43,543 Americans settled in Canada, and in 1905-6 the number reached 57,796. From all of which, it appears that at present, there is a good thing in farming in Western Canada, and that the American farm- er is not elow to avail himself of it. LOW WAGES IN RUSSIA. Farm Laborers Get Little Above a Bare Subsistence. The extreme poverty and the low standard of living of peasants from whom the Russian agricultural labor- ers are recruited assure a low level of wages for agricultural labor. ‘The av- erage wages will appear almost in- credibly low from an American point cf view, notwithstanding the general complaints of the estate holders con- cerning the unreasonable demands of the laborers. According to an official investigation embracing the decade of 1882-1891, the average annual wages for a male agri- cultural worker In Russia were less than $32 and for a female worker less than $18, To this must be added the cost of subsistence, which is equally low, being on an average $24 for a male and $22 for a female worker for a whole year; so that the average cost of employing a laborer for the entize year is equal to only $55 for the male and $40 for the female. The wages for the summer season of five months are almost equal to the annual wages, being $22 for the male and $13 for the female laborer. veproved Wireless Telegraphy: Paris newspapers report that 3.

A BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY. Valuable Wood Used in Mexican Struo: ture for Pedestrians and Teams. As mahogany is among the most costly woods in the world, it may be inferred that this tropical material ‘is not very extensively employed in the construction of buildings, etc. A | bridge constructed of solid mahogany is certainly a rarity, a curiosity. ‘There is one, claimed to be the only one in the world, built of that mate- rial. This structure is located in the department of Palenque, state of Chi- apas, republic of Mexico. ‘This dis: trict lies in the extreme southwestern part of Mexico, near the boundary line of Guatemala. The mahogany bridge is construct- ed entirely of that valuable wood, except some iron braces and nails that are necessary. The bridge spans the ‘Rio Michol and its total length, in- cluding approaches, exceeds 150 feet, ‘while the width is 15 feet. It 1s used ‘by both teams and pedestrians and, though somewhat rude and primitive in construction, it is very substantial. None of the timbers of the flooring were sawed, for in that region there are no sawmills, but were hewn and split. In that section of old Mexico there are several very large rubber planta- tions, and mahogany trees are quite common. In clearing away the trop- ical forests for setting out the young rubber trees the mahogany growths are also cut down and removed. As this wood is quite abundant, some of it was used in building the bridge— American Inventor. NEW YEAR'S CALLS. A New Drink to Replace the Old-Time “Apple-Jack.” Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a de lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more “ege-nos” or “apple-jack” than they could suc- cessfully carry. ‘Then the ladies tried to be charit- able and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. Jf anyone thinks there has-not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop to consider, among other things, the fact that the old custom of New Year's calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. ‘The custom of calling on one’s friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and an- other good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum in- stead of coffee or spirits. ‘A Staten Island doctor has a sen- sible daughter who has set Postum before her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year. Her father ‘writes: “My daughter and I have. used Postum for some time past, and we feel sure it contains wholesome food material. “{ shall not only recommend it to my patients, but my daughter will be most pleased to give a demonstration of Postum to our Christmas and New Year's callers.” Read “The Road to Wellville” in pkgs. “There's a reason.” Ducks haven't the better of lawyers and doctors in the matter of big bills.

After much dispute about the price and quantity of malt, wherein Whityngtone, the late mayor, declared that the brewers had ridden into the country and forestalled the ralt, tc raise its price, they were convicted in the penalty of £20 ($100), which ob- jecting to, the masters were ordered to be kept in prison in the chamber lain’s custody until they should pay it or find security for the payment thereof.” WHO SHE WAS SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF LYDIA E.

In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, nature’s own remedies— calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases, By tradition and ex. perience many, of them gained a won lerful knowledge of the curative prop- arties of the various roots and herbs. Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so bountifully provides in the harvest: fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field ‘there are remedies ex. pressly designe’ to cure the various ills and wealmesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medi eines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combina tion of the choicest medicinal. root: and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu: liar to the female sex, and Lydia B. Pink. hham’s friends and neighbors learnec that her compound relieved and eurec and it became quite popular among them, All this so far wasdone freely, with out money and without price, as ¢ labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struc! Lynn. Its lengthand severity were to much for the large real estate interest: of the Pinkham family, as this elas of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other soure of income had to be found, At this point Lydia B.

They hired a job printer to run off some pamphlets setting forth the merits of the medi- cine, now called Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and these were distributed by the Pinkham sons in Boston, New York, and Brooklyn. ‘The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self-advertising, for whoever used it recommended it to others, and the de- mand gradually increased. In 1877, by combined efforts the fam- ily had saved enongh money to com- mence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth and success of the enterprise were assured, until to- day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege- table Compound have become house- hold words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used annu- ally in its manufacture. Lydia E, Pinkham herself did not live to see the great, success of this work, She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided meens for continuing her work as effectively as she could have done it herself, During her long and eventful expe- rience she was ever methodical in her work and she was always careful topre- serve arecord of every case that came to her attention. The case of every sick woman who applied to her for advice— and there were thousands—received careful study, and the details, includ- ing symptoms, treatment and results were recorded for future reference, and to-day these records, together with hundreds of thousands made since, are available to sick women the world over, and represent a vast collabora. tion’ of information regarding the treatment of woman's ills, which for authenticity and accuracy can hardly be~equaled in any library in the world. ‘ With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her daughter-in-law, the present Mrs. Pinkham. She wasvarefully instructed in all her hard-won knowledge, an¢ for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence. ‘To her hands naturally fell the direction of the worl when its origina. tor passed away.

Can you hope for bright successes If you're always failing now?” Do you think defeats will help to Weave the laurel round your brow? Just as Httle straws can tell us From which side the breezes blow, So the way you work at trifles Will you preseverance show. Never say that fate’s against you, ‘That you cannot conquer luck; There is no such thing as elther— All depends on work and pluck.

Good Work of Mr Maurace Barnes Mr. Maurice Barnes, of 2739 Wash ‘street, is agent for the St. Louis Pal- ladium. Some years ago we gave him three papers to sell—at that time @ paper called the American Eagle, was in her glory. Mr. Barnes sold the Eagle, the Advance and the Pal- ladium, but in due time the valladium got the lead, and today he sells 60 to 70 papers every week. Thus it shows what close attention to busi- ness will do. The Palladium stands ahead of any Negro paper in the West. In St. Louis the Palladium is read by over five thousand people. In St. Louis many persons will not eat their breakfast until the mail man brings the Palladium to them on Sat urday morning. If you don't believe it, ask the letter carriers how eager the people are to get the Palladium. Ask any of our agents. So you see it people want the citizens to know that they are in business, advertise in the Palladium.
