Last Saturday at 4:30 p. m. the Palladium man met with a serious accident. It occurred at Sixteenth and Franklin avenue. The Easton avenue car seemed as if it would stop as it cared the crossing, and I attempted to board the car. Just as the car had reached the crossing and I had one foot on the step, the motorman turned to fall and fall with my weight all upon my right foot. I was dragged about grievous feet. I got up too dazed to think about the number of the car that I had fallen from. The car did not stop. I waited for the next car, extending to go to the sheds and report, but before going two blocks I realized my condition and concluded to go home. I got off on Jefferson avenue and intended to take the car. While waiting, all wet and muddy, Mr. James Harrison, the undertaker, came up and asked me what was the matter, as did a white man. I told them that I had fallen from a car. Mr. Harrison, to whom I am under many obligations, assisted me, and asked me Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Rev. S. W.

I have suffered much since that time, but under the skillful care of Dr. S. P. Stafford, 1101 North Jefferson I hope to be myself again soon. Monday, January 21, after suffering untold misery since Saturday I waited until 8:30, when the secretary, Miss Olivia Richardson, was to come, but she did not come until 9 o'clock. When she opened the door and found the Palladium man in bed, in our imagination we said within ourselves, this is what she thinks: "There, they have got him at last." She inquired very sweetly the cause of our being confined in bed, and yet to our strange imagination we thought she did not believe us. Tuesday morning she admitted that the first thing she thought when she came in the door was: They got him at last. I wonder who it was." I had more trouble in convincing her than I did the railroad company that it was the United Railways Co. and not a dude. city will be in charge of the Woman's Auxiliary, Mrs. M. Barrett, president. ident. Negro Business Not Wanted The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. of New York city, which at the present time carries more than two million dollars of Negro risks, is reported to have issued instructions to its agent not to accept any more applications from Negroes after January 1, 1907. Upon the heels of this information the news that the publication known as Collier's Weekly has also issued like instructions to its agents that under no condition will they enter into contracts with Negro subscribers. It is said the reason for this peculiar departure lies in the alleged fact that Negro insurance risks and Negro contracts are alike very unreliable and unsatisfactory.—Exchange. From the looks of the above it will only be a matter of time when the whites will refuse to sell the Negro any clothes. Then won't there be a hot old time when all the Negroes will be going around naked, and then they will be arrested for disturbing the peace of our white neighbors. querade Ball BY THE ACADEMY BOYS Sunday Eve., Jan. 28, '07 Formers' Hall, Jefferson and Pine is will be awarded: First, to the finest.

Mrs. Cole will spend a few weeks with her parents before re-urning to St. Louis. Rev. Dr. J. J. Hayes and wife, of Mexico, Mo., worshiped with us last Sunday evening. Come again, doctor. The pastor preached morning and evening, two acceptable discourses. The change of the Sunday school to 1 o'clock in the afternoon made it convenient for a larger attendance. The sudden change in the weather was no bar to the attendance at our church Sunday. We find no difficulty in heating the main audience room so as to bake it absolutely comfortable. The members of the Chrysanthemum club are preparing for a grand feast and entertainment at the church Wednesday evening, January 30. The public and friends are cordially invited t oattend. Deacon Henry Harding was absent from church last Sunday evening for the first time since we organized our church. His absence created quite a deal of comment. Brother Harding is one of the most upright and beautiful Christian men in St. Louis. Everybody will be on the lookout for him next Sunday. Thursday morning, January 10, Mrs. E. B. Cole was called by telegram to the bedside of her dying sister, Floree Chiles, at Starkville, Miss. She left St. Louis Friday evening, January 11, over the M. & O. railroad. She arrived in Starkville Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, finding her sister very weak and sinking. Monday evening, January 14, at 10:45 o'clock, death entered the portals of that home and took her away to her happy home. This excellent young woman was well known to the members of First Baptist and Providence churches, having spent two years or more in St. Louis with her sister, Mrs. E. B. Cole. She was a sweet girl, loved by all who knew her Provident Hospital Charity Ball.

For we need it. To see the "Jim Crow" bill in Jefferson City defeated. That will show to the Negroes that the Democrats are not so bad. No what the order has a hall in which to meet, we trust that when brothers go to their meetings they will arrange their toilets. Several brothers have been at the hall looking as dirty as the devil's doll baby before being washed. So don't come that way any more. If you do we will call your name.

Girls among the Bedouus are often pretty, although their beauty soon fades. Macaroni does not all come from Italy. The French city of Lyons last year produced 33,000,000 pounds. Many a breezy young man, remarks the Philadelphia Bulletin, is preparing to reap the whirlwind. A new hotel is projected in Manila that will cost $1,200,000. It is intended to make that city a tourist resort. Giving up both the ship and the ghost is rather overdoing it, says the Boston Transcript. Also annoying to the passengers. That will be a restful day, says the Philadelphia Leagger, when Lipton has lifted the cup and Peary triumphantly climbed the North Pole. Colorado holds the record among the states of having 407 mountain peaks exceeding 10,000 feet; 33 of these are 14,000 feet and over. Residents of England have $550,000,000 invested in mortgages in foreign countries. These investments annually bring about $27,500,000 in gold. Will we be compelled to annex Mexico because the Yaqui Indians have killed some American citizens? We must uphold the dignity of the country at any cost. Pittsburg has decided to abandon white as the color of its street cleaners uniform. It won't be necessary, says the New York American, to buy new uniforms, however. The mikado has announced his desire to decorate American Ambassador McCormick, now in Paris, for his services in protecting Japanese interests at St. Petersburg during the war. The tramp, says an authority, is no more. But in his place, exclaims the Philadelphia Inquirer, we have a class of peripatetic vagrants that answer the same purpose; so what's the difference? Some scientist has discovered that the north pole is moving southward at the rate of 20 miles a year. Now if he has the courage of his convictions let him go up to Winnipeg and open a fur store. Whereas ten years ago silver was the leading item among a bride's gifts, cheap jewelry of a showy though, quite up-to-date class is now given by even the richest of our relations and friends. An invention which will make it possible to telephone from a train moving at the rate of 40 miles an hour has been completed. The man who sends his wife away for his health isn't likely to experience much relief after this. You can't but admire the duke of Cumberland's "pigheadedness" in refusing to give up his claim to the Hanoverian crown, says the Boston Herald. He promised his father on his death bed he would never relinquish the right or reconcile himself with Prussia. If not, Peary a fleet of stance ships like that on which he made his last voyage there is little doubt that he could reach the pole. A number of stout vessels could support each other in various ways. Getting to the pole, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is chiefly a matter of money. Interesting particulars have been given by the Dutch papers about a telegraph messenger, living at Breda, who by self-edition has become a master of languages. This man, now 50 years of age, can speak and write English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Sanskrit, and is able to decipher hieroglyphic and cuneiform inscriptions. He has also a knowledge of cosmography, astronomy, physics, the history of art, and various other sciences, and can write Greek poems. A dermatologist has solved the mystery of converting a faded society woman into a study of pink and white. The beauty doctor has already made several experiments with his fountain of youth. He simply tattoes a blush on the cheeks without injury to the flesh or skin, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. He declares the process does not cause pain—not even a wince—because the needle only enters the skin one-sixteenth of an inch. He uses vegetable coloring to produce the schoolgirl blush. This is injected under the skin. The fluid is said to be quite harmless and really possesses antiseptic properties. The ordinary man would still much rather glorify woman and set them on a mock throne, whence he can depose them at will, than have to acknowledge in them a real title to regard. It is difficult for a man to overcome his essential self-importance. Most of us, perhaps, prefer to have inferiorors around us—an abject trait of character, but natural. And only very slowly, remarks the London Saturday Review, have we men been getting to prefer our womankind as friends and equals, rather than as queens and pets, ruling us as a baby or a spoiled dog does.

THE CANAL SHONTS TELLS THE KANSAS CITY KNIFE AND FORK CLUB ALL ABOUT IT. DUG IN EIGHT YEARS DUG IN EIGHT YEARS "I Have Completed the Creative Period," He Declared, and "Any Good Constructive Engineer Can Finish the Work." Kansas City, Mo.—Theodore P. Shonts, who recently resigned the chairmanship of the isthmian canal commission, was the guest of honor here at the monthly dinner of the Knife and Fork club of Kansas City. In an illustrated address, he gave a record of the work done to date on the Panama canal. The Creative Period Ended. "The creative period," declared Mr. Shonts, "has come to an end, and the period of active construction has begun. As to the manner in which the creative task has been performed, we are content to let the facts speak for themselves." In closing, Mr. Shonts quoted as follows from President Roosevelt's message, written after the executive returned from the isthmus: "The wisdom of the canal management has been shown in nothing more clearly than in the way in which the foundations have been laid." The Work Mapped Out. Mr. Shonts, in an interview, said: "The canal work is mapped out; the department heads are all selected, appointed and working in harmony; 52 steam shovels are now at work; the material is assembled and 30,000 men are employed. The canal ought to be dug in eight years. "The theory that only one man can run a railroad, conduct a business, rule the government, or dig a canal is all the veriest fool rot. I have completed the creative period in the work upon the Panama canal. My obligation is discharged. Any good constructive engineer can finish the work. The president is satisfied concerning that. He and I are at a perfect understanding. The completion of the canal will not be disturbed a particle by this change. Stevens a FirstClass Man. Stevens is a first-class man and he will go right ahead with the work. There will be absolutely no trouble; not a particle—if things are just let alone. "There are two parts to any big undertaking—the creative and constructive. The creative work I have finished. The constructive work will follow as the night does the day. There are bigger problems now than the completion of the Panama canal. I go to one of them. It is to solve the problem of rapid transit on that narrow neck on an island." SENATOR R. A. ALGER DEAD, Farm Boy, Teacher, Lawyer, Soldier, Speculator, Governor, Cabinet Officer, Senator. Washington—United States Senator Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, died suddenly at his home in this city. There were practically no premonitory symptoms that the end was near. At 8:30 a. m. the senator had a pleasant chat with Mrs. Alger in her room, and then went downstairs. A few minutes later the senator suffered a recurrence of the heart trouble from which he had suffered for a long time, and death came quickly. Worked on a farm until he was 17. From teaching and law practice turned to pine-lands speculation in Michigan. Enlisted as private from Michigan and rose to rank of colonel. Amassed a fortune by buying and selling pine lands. Elected governor of Michigan in 1884. Sought presidency in 1888. Supported Blaine for presidential nomination in 1892. Appointed secretary of war by McKinley in 1897. Resigned from McKinley cabinet on July 19, 1899. Elected to United States senate by Michigan legislature, 1903. Died in his home in Washington, D. C., Jan. 24, 1907. MEXICANS WHIP YAQUIS. Twenty Soldiers Killed, While Indiana Carry Off Their Dead. El Paso, Tex.—Reports have been received here of a desperate battle between Yaqui Indians and Mexican troops, which occurred in the mountain district southeast of Guaymas, state of Sonora, Mex. Twenty Mexicans were killed and a number wounded. The Yaquis were defeated with considerable loss, but they carried away their dead and wounded. TO ABOLISH PENSION AGENCIES. House Votes to Concentrate Business in Washington. Washington—The house voted to abolish all the pension agencies throughout the country, 18 in number, and centralize the payment of pensions in the city of Washington. This action was taken on the pension appropriation bill. The pension appropriation bill carrying $138,000,000 in round numbers was passed. EPISCOPAL ADDRESSES. Bishops of the A. M. E.

HOUSE With only one dissenting vote, the anti-lobby bill was sent to engrossment Monday afternoon, after it had been twice amended by its author, Representative Hughes, of Callaway county. Representative Hill, of Butler county made a strong speech against the bill, even in its present form, and, after voting against it, changed his vote to the affirmative, leaving Representative Silver, of St. Charles county, the only dissenter. The principal amendment was the substitution of a new section, which was taken from the statutes of New York. Under the bill as originally introduced, and to which there was some objection raised, it would be unlawful for the paid agent of a corporation to speak to any member of the legislature except through the committee, and not then until after he had compiled with other conditions. The amendment makes the lobbyist or legislative agent file with the secretary of state a statement of the interest or corporation he wishes to represent, together with the legislation he intends to promote or oppose. It does not deprive him of the privilege of discussing a bill with a member once he has complied with the provisions of the act. State Superintendent of Insurance Vandiver made a statement of the collections of his department for the past two years. The collections in 1905 were $54,400.00 and in 1906 they footed up $59,058.55, a gain for the past year of $4,627.95. The total collections for the two years amount to $113,489.15 Senator Major, of Howard introduced the first "Jim Crow" law that was presented to the Missouri senate. Such bills have been in the House for years, and every session the vote on them has shown a gain ever the preceding session. A statement of the expenses incurred by the lobbyist during the session of the legislature must be filed within thirty days after the close of the session by the corporation represented, verified by the oath of the legislative agent. Violations of the act are punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for two years, one year in the county jail or a fine of $1,000, or both fine and jail sentence. And failure by a corporation to file the statement within sixty days after the time prescribed shall cause the offender to forfeit the sum of $100 a day for each day, the same to be collected in an action to be brought by the attorney general The fact that the anti-lobby bill was on the calendar for engrossment brought a large crowd to the chamber of the house of representatives. The galleries were filled with women and the lobby encircling the seats of the representatives was crowded. A new tack has been taken to succeed the Walmsley game law. This has assumed the shape of petitions, some thirty-five of which came into house Thursday, with others in storage, asking for legislation permitting the shipment and sale of game SENATE. For the first time in one-fifth of a century, an amendment to the constitution was offered in the Missouri legislature Monday for the prohibition of the liquor traffic. It was offered in the senate by Senator Peck, of Atchison county, who is a republican. By a unanimous vote, the senate Monday engrossed a bill introduced by Senator Dowell, of Lewis, in the manner of listing certain classes of personal property for taxation. It relates to the listing of money, notes, bonds and solvent accounts. The vote it received in the senate on engrossment indicates that it is going to pass that body with little or no objections unless meantime, a determined fight is made upon it. Senator Avery, of Lincoln, Monday introduced a bill in the senate requiring all executions of criminals to take place within the walls of the penitentiary and under the supervision of the warden of the prison. This is the measure prepared by Judge Charles E. Peers, of Warransburg. The bill passed both branches of the legislature in 1897 but was subsequently vetoed by Gov. Stephens. In a letter to Senator Avery, Judge Peers says he will come here when the committees take up his bill and show the advantages of such a change in the law. He says it is the cheapest and most humane way of taking the lives of criminals. Senator Humphreys wants the state grain department divorced from the office of state railway and warehouse commissioners, and placed under the direction of the governor, who shall appoint the chief state grain inspector. The bill does not seek to create any new offices or salaries, simply removing the entire department from under the authority and supervision of the railway commissioners. House bill No. 21, the Tubbs measure taxing the undivided profits of business corporations in excess of 5 per cent of capital stock, was read the first time in the senate Monday. This is the only house bill that has yet reached the senate. No senate bills have yet reached a third reading. At the meeting of the senate railroad committee Friday, a public hearing on the 2-cent-rate bills was set for next Wednesday evening. A public hearing on the maximum freight rate bill was set for Monday evening, January 28, in the hall of house of representatives. Attorney General Hadley will deliver an address on the maximum freight-rate bill. The committee took up Bradley's anti-pass bill. The author of it was present and urged that it be reported favorably at once. Col. William H. Phelps, of the Missouri Pacific, asked the committee to postpone reporting the bill until after the public hearing next Wednesday night. While he did not have the figures, he ventured the statement that the passes issued were not one-half of 1 per cent of the passenger traffic. Senator Anthony moved that consideration of the bill be postponed. Senator Ruford, who seconded the motion, said that stock shippers down in his country were unanimous in a demand on him to secure legislation requiring railroads to furnish round-trip transportation with each car of stock. The measure was deferred until the public meeting January 28. asperating crimes had been committed. asperating crimes had been committed. The first move on the part of the Legislature in favor of good roads was made by the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments in reporting favorably an amendment to the Constitution offered by Senator Fields of Linn. It provides for a levy of 25 cents on the $100 valuation for the building of roads and bridges. Cities and Counties may vote upon this tax, very much as local option on the granting of dramshop license is now voted upon. Representtaives Hart of Buchaman, Dupuy of Taney, Kies of Cape Girardeau, Vitt of Franklin, Brockus of Polk, and Morrison of Vernon, sit side by side, and each of them wears glasses. This can not be said of any other six members who sit beside each other. Representative Emerson of Clay writes with a pen all the bills he introduces, and they come to the desk in a copperplate hand. As his pen goes over the paper it makes a grating noise, like a hired man eating celery, but the chirography is beautiful. R. J.

We have always said that we have the best subscribers in St. Louis, and we have no fear but what they will continue to show their loyalty to the Palladium man.

I am not surprised at the outcome of the Brownsville (Texas) affair; yet this matter will only be settled at the polls in 1908. If the Negro can stand for such actions by our so-called friends —. Now is the time that ten millions of Negroes can rightfully exclaim: "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken us?" This thing of being duped by every man who says he is a Republican should be investigated, and if need be party lines must be broken and we must look to the interests of the race. The New York Freedman's Journal and Catholic Register contains one of the most fair-minded arguments that I have ever read, headed "Oil on the Troubled Waters," by Father Boarman, on Senator Tillman. This address should be read by every Negro in the country, and Senator Tillman should read it carefully, that he might find some consolation in ft. We doff our hats to Father Boarman, to the chieftain of human rights. We oftentimes begin to grumble and complain and say all our friends have deserted us and we have no one to fight our battles, but we must not be worried, for "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. He plants His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm." God and true men of humanity standing along the line, and the defenders of our race are numerous in every denomination, in the white churches and societies. Yes, in the great Catholic, men like Father Boarman stand up and defend the Black race against the gaping world. So let us grumble no more. JOTTINGS. The Rev. J. T. Brown is assisting Rev.

Any article sent to this office for publication must be accompanied by the money—5 cents per line—otherwise it will be thrown away. An Auspicious Opening. The beginning of the new series of Sunday concerts at Douglass hall. Sunday afternoon, gives promise of a very successful career. A large audience witnessed the corts of Prof. Blue and his band and gave abundant evidence of their appreciation of the same. There will be special attractions each Sunday in the shape of short, ethical talks and vocal musical numbers. In looking over a report that one of our agents sent in we had the secretary call him up. She did, and called his attention to an omission in his report. He replied: "You tell the Palladium man to attend to his own business. We are doing this. Let him look after his broken foot." This is what we get from those fellows. I think that I have a secretary that will put a stop to such saucy agents. The absence of the reporter of the Palladium caused this question to be asked by a very pretty girl: "Where was he all this week?" A dude said: "He is home in bed and he will die." "What is the matter with him?" You'll see soon. Russell or Gordon will soon give him a ride." Wanted—A good man for a husband. The lady is up-to-date and a good conversationalist; will make a good man a good wife. She does not live three blocks from our office. Address Palladium office at once. This week we have removed the "dead beat" column, because the members are holding a merry meeting on account of the Palladium man being all broken up. BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS COMMU NICABLE TO HUMAN BEINGS. In a report published as a bulletin by the Bureau of Animal Industry warning is sounded as to the danger of tuberculosis being communicated to human beings through cows. The bulletin embodies a report of experiments that have been conducted by Dr. E. Schroeder and W. E. Cotton, of the experiment station of the Bureau of Animal Industry. They have undertaken experiments with hogs and cattle, for the main purpose of testing the susceptibility of the lungs with tubercle bacilli, regardless of the point at which the infectious material enters the body. These important conclusions in regard to cattle and dairy products were drawn: "Tuberculosis material from cattle has the highest virulence for all tested species of the mammalian kingdom, to which man anatomically and physiologically belongs, and tuberculosis material from man has a lower virulence. "Man is constantly exposed to fresh tuberculous material in a helpless way through his use of dairy products from tuberculous cows and cows associated with tuberculous cattle. "While many cases of tuberculosis undoubtedly have their origin through food directly or indirectly infected with fr sh tuberculous material by tuberculosis poisons, there is no means today by which persons are brought; into closer contact with fresh tuberculous material than milk and dairy products obtained from and in the environment of tuberculous cows. "The wide use of milk, its rapid distribution because of its perishable character, the ease with which it may be contaminated, all speak for one conclusion, namely, that we have no more active agent than the tuberculous cow for the increase of tuberculosis among animals and its persistence among men." The idea of Dr. Koch that bovine tuberculosis is not communicable to human beings is scouted as untrue and with no evidence to sustain his contention. What Has Caused It and What Is the Remedy? At no time can a man of business (Colorad) approach a merchant and ask for an advertisement for a newspaper bit what he is almost insulted about what some other fellow has done. When we are allowed to explain they begin to tell us about what and how some grafter fleeced them, and they never have seen the paper. After listening to them we have come to the conclusion that they have a just complaint. Newspapers that are controlled by Colored men ought to combine and drive these newspaper bloodsuckers and grafters out of St. Louis, and unless this is done the others newspapers will stand guilty of the same crime. The above editorial was written by J. W. Wheeler in 1898, and it is yet good. U. B F. and S. M. T. The Order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. will on Jan. 31 dedicate their new hall, 2629 Lawton avenue. All arrangements are under the auspices of the respective lodges, temples and juveniles in the city of St. Louis. Remember all lodges and temples have an equal right and it is expected that all will do their full duty. We respectively invite the Grand Master and Grand Princess of the Grand Temple, together with the board of managers, to be present, as this will be one of the epochs in the Order of U. B. F. and S. M. T. that will stand so firm upon its pages of history that ages can not obliterate. No grand officers should miss the dedication of this hall. Remember Jan. 31, 1907.

The fire is burning gaily, The kettle sings its best; All things are bright and cheerful Here in our sweet home nest. There's nothing now, my baby, To do for you and me, But just to watch for someone Coming home to tea. We'll take our cozy places Here in the window seat, Where'll he be sure to spy us Far down the chilly street. He says it makes him warmer, O, Baby, just to see The roof that we are under When coming home to tea. In all the land, my darling, He says—and true it is— There's not another baby That's half so sweet as his! And then—but this is nonsense, And just to make us laugh— He know's there's not another wife That's even half-of-half. Now think what he'll be bringing To us to-night, my pet; A cherry smile, for one thing, That never failed us yet; A merry word of greeting, And kisses two or three! For that's the way our someone Comes always home to tea. But there are those, my darting— Aye, in this very street— Whose ears have lost the music Of homeward hast'ning feet, Oh, pity, and remember How happy we should be To have someone to watch for Coming home to tea. —Ex change WINTER SUITS I Have Them all grades and grades, and over 2,000 patterns to select from.

That they are little witches, perhaps, you didn't know. Not the wicked little witches, with a gerat black cat, That coming riding on a broom-stick, with red cloak and painted hat. But the dearest little witches, when the shadows fall at night, Come nestling to your arms; whispering in the soft fire-light. Drawing pictures in the flames, building castles in the fire. "Goodness Me!" exclaimed a man to a companion as they were walking. "Did you ever see such a wretched sight?"—and he pointed to a poor, miserable-looking horse that was tolling up the hill in the boiling sun with a heavy load behind it. Suddenly the animal fell and expired. "Well," said one as they ran up, "whatever made it die?" "Can't you see?" cried the other. "Why, the poor beast is so thin that the sun shone through its ribs and set the hay on fire that it had eaten, and the smoke choked it!" Star Boarder—There's something wrong with the coffee.

The stranger, in looking on a Japanese landscape, is struck with the absence of cows; the natives do not eat meat or drink milk. There are only a few horses, and they are imported mainly for the use of foreigners. The freight cars in the city streets are pulled or pushed by coolies and the pleasure carriages are drawn by men. Only foreigners use dogs in any way. Of sheep there are none, silk and cotton being used for clothing instead of wool. There are no pigs, and pork is an unknown article of food. Nor are there any mules, donkeys or goats. Wild animals abound, however, particularly bears, some of which are of gigantic size. HOW TO MAKE A HOLE IN GLASS Many have occasion in to bore a small hole in a piece of thin glass, but it seems that the process has always been found difficult because the bitterness of the glass prevents it from giving way uniformly. To obviate that trouble, press on the glass a cake of wet clay and then make through the clay a hole of the desired size, laying bare the glass at the bottom of the hole. Then pour melted lead into the hole, and it will drop through the glass, making a smooth round hole. The explanation is, that the sudden application of heat cracks the glass in a circle exactly the size of the hole in the clay, and the round piece thus broken away falls out of place.

The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through its advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. He believes that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are more moving machines, having no more intelligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and ascribes it to the same cause that inclines the plant to grow toward the light. How's This?

BRING GOOD HEALTH Dr. William' Pink Pills, Used After the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline and Rebuild the System. Any bodily weakness caused by a deficiency in the blood can be cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because these pills actually make new blood. After attacks of the grip the blood is generally run down and the patient continues to decline. "About three years ago," says Mrs. Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry Street, West Bay City, Mich., "I caught a severe cold, which ran into the grip. I was confined to my bed for two weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I felt faint. My heart would flutter and it was difficult for me to breathe at times. Neuroalgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and I suffered from rheumatism in my shoulders. "I had the care of the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told me one day how she had been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. I soon felt better and continued using them until I was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect health and I use them now whenever I feel at all sick and they always help me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable in such cases, as well as in other blood diseases, because they not only drive off the germs of the disease but build up the system. The pills have cured anaemia, rheumatism, after-effects of fevers, neurologia and many other severe disorders. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schemectet, N. Y.

LESSON TEXT—Gen. 4:3-15; Memory verses, 5-10. Literature. GOLDEN TEXT."Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. John 3:15. He is a murderer. John 3:15. His chronology, which is generally understood not to be correct, gives it as B. C. PLACE.—Outside the Garden of Eden, but probably in the same region, which whole region was called Eden, near the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. — The Evil Hating the Good—Psa. 11: 2; 72: 11: 95; Prov. 29: 10; Jer. 11: 19; Hab. 1: 13; Matt. 10: 16; Acts 41: 3; 7.52; 1 Pet. 31: 4; 7.52; 1 Pet. 31: 4; 10: 16; 18: 21; 13: 3-10; Gal. 51: 2; Phil. 2: 34; 1 John 2: 10. Show how love is the cure. New Ttistament Light—Cain was “of that wicked one” (1 John 3: 12), who “was the victim of the punishment” (1 John 8: 44). The reason of the difference in the sacrifices is given in Heb. 11: 4. Crimes ary unto God (Jas. 5: 44; Rev. 6: 10). Christ’s blood speaketh better things, or louder than the blood of Abel (Heb. 12: 24). Comment and Suggestive Thought. “The picture of Cain and Abel portrays how from the first opposition has subsisted between good and evil, between faith and self-will, between obedience and lawlessness. The two brothers brought up in the same family, became the one of sin, the other of righteousness.”—Ryle. The Two Sacrifices, True and False Worship.—V. 3. "In process of time." An indefinite note of time. It probably was many years. "Cain brought the fruit of the ground." The products of his business, as was natural and proper. "An offering unto the Lord," Jehovah, who had made himself known in the garden, and probably since. V. 4. "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock." "Either the first born, which God afterwards demanded (Ex. 13:12), or the choicest and best (Job 18:13)."—Cook. "And the fat thereof." Literally, the fatness of them, i. e., the fattest of the firstlings, the best he had, or, as Dillmann, "their fat pieces," the part to be burned. "The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering." "It is impossible to know in what way the Lord showed his favor, but it was, in any case, a visible sign of satisfaction."—Kell The Anger of Cain. (1) It was against his brother. (2) It was without good cause. (3) It grew out of envy and jealousy. (4) It was intensified by his own consciousness of being in the wrong, and the desire to quiet his conscience by blaming others. (5) It was against God. (6) It was violent, ill-tempered, beyond the control of reason. (7) It was the feeling of hatred in the wicked toward those who are better because they are a continual reproof. V. 8. "And Cain talked with Abel and his brother." "Hebrew, 'And Cain said unto Abel his brother;' after which there is, in many of the Hebrew copies, a blank space left, as if something had been omitted."→Bush. He talked over the matter with his brother. He went on in familiar intercourse with him, and it was during one of these conversations that his anger was again inflamed. Others represent Cain as asking his brother to go away from the home into a lonely field for the purpose of doing evil to him. "Cain . . . slew him." Whether he intended to kill, or struck a blow in anger, and the result was more than he expected, we do not know. Am I My Brother's Keeper?—Only Cain-like men ask Cain's question. We all are our brother's keepers. God has made the circles of family, friendship, acquaintance, race, humanity, so that each of us has an influence in them, and we are responsible for that influence. No one lives or dies to himself. And God gives us wealth, position, intellect, not for ourselves alone, but that we may be better keepers of our brother. (1) We are keepers of our brothers, not by dictating to them, but by brotherly love; (2) by helping them, as the good Samaritan, or as the righteous in Matt. 25:31-46; (3) by considering their welfare in all our business relations; (4) by using every influence for their good, doing to others in all relations "as we would that they should do unto us." The Voice of Abel Still Heard.—"The blood that speaketh things than that of Abel" (Heb. 12:24). "He being dead yet speaketh" (Heb. 11:4). Here is a fine picture of Abel's work. He is living and speaking down all the centuries one long triumphal march, scattering blessed gems of truth to all ages, like Prince Siddartha in his father's dream in The Light of Asia. Cain's punishment consisted (1) in the strengthening of his evil character. He added lying and selfishness to murder. (2) He set himself in opposition to God and his laws, changing from the light of blessings to the evils that are the necessary consequences of defying God's laws. (3) His lifework was a failure. (4) He lost the blessings of companionship with the good. He was lonely, estranged from his kind, an outlaw. (5) Remorse and the condemnation of his conscience. Practical Points. The only explanation of the difference between Cain and Abel lies in their freedom of choice. One chose the way of life, the other the way of death. Byron in his Cain, pictures him as tempted by Lucifer to unbelief and rebellion against God's providence. "Whosoever hateh his brother is a 'murderer" (I. John 3:15.) "Envy is the wickedest, the deadest, the most detestable of all our sinful passions. A coal from hell had by the time kindled hell in Cain's heart"—Alexander Whyte. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS / CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

"Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. We called in the family doctor, and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right. But she still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over, and said that he could not do anything more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eyesight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged $10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. I saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1, and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all sores had disappeared. Of course it could not restore the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy so good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton, Oswego Co., N. Y., August 17, 1906."

SENATE FAVORS HOUSE MEASURE TO INCREASE SALARIES. Hayes Says All California Asks Is to Be Allowed to Remain American. Washington, D. C.-The senate accepted the proposition of the house of representatives to increase the salaries of senators, members and territorial delegates to $7,000 annually, and those of the vice president, speaker of the house and members of the president's cabinet to $12,000. This action was taken by a vote of 53 to 21, and followed a discussion of nearly three hours. An amendment confining the increase to cabinet officers and the president's officers of the senate and house was voted down, as was also a proposition to postpone the increase President Rooseveit gave his views in advocacy of the ship subsidy in a special message, whic... was read in both houses. Senator Peveridge, of Indiana, began an extended address, setting forth the child labor conditions of the country in support of his pending bill prohibiting intersate commerce in articles which are the product of child labor. An urgent deficiency appropriation bill was reported by Mr. Hale. Day of Oratory in the House. Washington, D. C.—A day of oratory in the house, the pension appropriation bill affording an opportunity to a number of members to make speeches, not only in lehalf of the bill itself, but on the tariff and on the San Francisco school incidents. On the latter subject Mr. Hayes, of California, insisted that all California desired was to be permitted to continue American, and that the Chinese exclusion law should be made to apply to Japanese coolies. THERE IS NO GRUDGE. President Dismisses the Swettenham Davis Incident at Kingston. Washington, D. C.—The president has finally dismissed the incident connected with the refusal by Gov. Swetnam of aid from Admiral Davis, as shown in a letter made public at the state department, addressed by acting Secretary Bacon to Charge Howard of the British embassy. The letter says in part: "I hasten to assure you that on behalf of the president, this government will pay no heed whatever to the matter, and very much appreciates the frank and ready courtesy and consideration shown in this dispatch by Edward Gray. It is gratifying to the president to feel that it has been possible for this country to show in my practical way, however small, its friend's tip to a community of your people in a time of such suffering and need." ASHAMED OF THEIR GOVERNOR Kingston Newspaper Says the People Are Tired of Him. Kingston, Jamaica—The Daily Telegraph, in an editorial article, articles Gov. Swettenham as follows: "We would be unfaithful to our duties as exponents of public opinion if we failed to call attention to the extraordinary conduct of his excellency in the present crisis. His general behavior at a moment of great peril and difficulty was unworthy a responsible British official, and even a cultured English gentleman. His letter to Rear Admiral Davis was a production of which he ought to be ashamed, and of which the Jamaicans are ashamed. The United States is a friendly nation, their bone is British bone, and their flesh is British flesh, and no one but a blinded bigot would have refused to admit American landing parties. The men from the American warships did magnificent work in removing the debris and recovering bodies, and the naval surgeons performed an equally splendid service. The action of the governor was absolutely reprehensible. We want a man who does not spend his time riding about the city cursing officials who are endeavoring to work loyally. People of this community have lost confidence in his power of guidance, and are indignant at his autocratic, bullying and insulting manner." TWENTY MINERS KILLED Explosion in Colorado Coal Mine— Twenty Coffins Ordered. Trinidad.

Twenty coffins have been ordered by the company from a local undertaking establishment. the Pennsylvania May Expend Millions for Freight Cars. Cleveland, O.—The Iron Trade Review says: "The action of the Pennsylvania railroad in organizing a $1,000,000 car trust, following the announcement of a new issue of capital stock and bonds amounting to $200,000,000, has excited much interest, and is generally accepted as indicating expenditures for freight cars.

There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and was so weakened and generally run down with kidney disease that for a long time I could not do my work and was five weeks in bed. There was continual bearing down pain, terrible backaches, headaches and at times dlzzy spells when everything was a blur before me.

Shakespeare as Novel Hero William Shakespeare is the hero of a new and striking novel by the Danish woman writer Sophus Banditz. Moreover, British and American readers will probably soon have a chance to read this tale, for Queen Alexandra, who recently read it in the original, was so much impressed by it that she advised the authoress to have it translated into English. This translation is now proceeding and the English version is to be dedicated to the queen, who is herself a Dane. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty.

Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. SAID WOMEN MARRIED HIM. Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by French Bigamist. At Versailles, France, recently a baker was tried on a charge of polygamy, having married five women, who are living and undivorced. The pentagamist's defense was that he had not married the women; they had married him. When they proposed he had not the courage to say no. Neither money nor love, he said, had prompted his nuptials; he was the victim of the stronger wills of his successive spouses. Of the five wives three appeared as witnesses, but did not prosecute, saying that their common husband was a toper of whom they were glad to get rid. He was acquitted—on what ground does not appear. As all the years in which the multiplex husband took wives were leap years except 1881, in which it would seem that in four out of the five cases the women had the right to propose. But the man had the right, even in the leap years, to decline, and it was up to him at least to explain to his fair suitors that he was engaged. To establish the principle that a man is not responsible for the number of his wives unless he himself does the courting, would be plainly against public policy. If "Barkis is willin'" that at once puts all the responsibility on him, no matter who managed the preliminary WHITE BREAD Makes Trouble for People with Weak Intestinal Digestion. A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who instructed her not to eat white bread for two years. She tells the details of her sickness and she certainly was a sick woman. "In the year 1887 I gave out from overwork, and until 1901 I remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors but nothing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal congestion, female trouble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor' and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts and the only medicine was a little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. "When I was up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and no white bread for two years. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. "My brain has been helped so much, and I know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. I found I had been made ill because I was not fed right, that is I did not properly digest white bread and some other food I tried to live on. "I have never been without Grape-Nuts food since and eat it every day. You may publish this letter if you like so it will help someone else." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The ceremony of the United States supreme court judges marching from their robing room across the corridor to take their seats on the bench, which occurs at high noon every week day while the court is holding session, is always a matter of interest to the average visitor at the capitol. Every day there is a small crowd waiting to see the stately procession. The other day Justice Moody, as the youngest member of the august body, brought up the rear. A flicker of a smile appeared on his face as he noted the black-robed figures ahead of him, but it passed away instantly and he became as solemn and grave as the others. Thoroughly Reliable. If ever there was a reliable and safe remedy it is that old and famous porous plaster—Allcock's. It has been in use for sixty years, and is as popular to-day as ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized community on the face of the globe where this wonderful pain reliever cannot be found. In the selection of the ingredients and in their manufacture the greatest care is taken to keep each plaster up to the highest standard of excellence, and so pure and simple are the ingredients that even a child can use them. Allcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and are sold by Druggists all over the world. Developing the Sudan. There is talk in England of the proposed development of the natural resources of the Sudan through scientific exploration. Immense forests line the banks of the Blue Nile along its upper reaches, extending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree is met with along that river and also near the Sobat. Along the White Nile the india rubber creeper, a valuable source of rubber, abounds. There are large forests in the Bahr-el-Ghazal province and gold has been mined in some of the mountains.

WOMEN SUFFER Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have immediate assistance. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result.
