The British government wanted to tax the companies without representation. The army has been in Missouri and more so in St. Louis—"Home Rule"—and the citizens of St. Louis ask that they be allowed to govern themselves. If they pay the police they should be allowed to elect those men who will govern the police department. Now come a few autocrats, asking the citizens of St. Louis to give them the power to rule the Republican party in selecting members of the house of delegates. We trust that the Republicans of St. Louis will so vote in the primary, March 6, that will teach these autocrats a lesson. "Home Rule" delegates are as follows: H. P. Stocker, 3127 Eads avenue. J. H. Michael, 3317 Rutger street. Edward Kraemer, 2915 Chouteau Avenue. W. W. Davis, 2933 Atlantic street, Jas. Freeman, 518 South Ewing avenue. P. H. Clark, 3133 Eads avenue. 'The voters in this ward will find the above men, who in every particular represent the principles of "Home Rule." These men believe that the citizens of each ward should elect their own delegate. We are with the "home rule" delegates and hope that where there is no "Home Rule" ticket up, then vote the straight Republican ticket for this reason. After our victory, two years ago, what did the Negroes get from that bunch of autocrats? Not a single pie was offered them. What did they get from last fall's victory? Nothing but a few sitout artists, scrubbing brush and noopers artists, which was not near as much as the Democratic party gave their faithful slaves. Men who have just come out of the Democratic party, both white and black, are now at the head of the Republican party of St. Louis, and if the Negro of St. Louis can stand such, it is more than the Palladium man can stand, nor can he permit it to be unpoll.

The above named delegates represent the true principles of the Republican party. Now for Dr. Boehm, who heads the Howes delegations in the 25th ward. Hewes delegation is headed by Dr. Boehm. This young man has no more use for a Negro than Senator Tillman of South Carolina. If you don't believe what is written ask General Rice of 716 North Sixteenth street. Dr. Boehm is now living in the West End and no Negro is allowed in his house in the West End, but if you go to his office at Eighth and Morgan streets he will attend you with gloves on. I ask the Negro to see to this and learn this man's history. This is one of the gentlemen who is on the Howes delegation or the Howes band wagon. We want every Negro to read this and ask himself the question: Can you support such a set of men? General Rice is a member of the Twelfth congressional committee. Mr. Rice did as much work for the Republican ticket last fall as any man on the committee and yet Dr. Boehm was opposed to him because he was a Negro. Now I ask, can any Negro support any set of men who do not want a Negro around only to vote? This man Boehm is now trying to get the Negroes to vote for Howes' delegation. We ask the Negro of St. Louis to stop and consider. NOTICE. Any article sent to this office for publication must be accompanied by the money—5 cents per line—otherwise it will be thrown away.

Notes and News Concerning Our People--Weekly Record of Social Events Written Especially for St. Louis Palladium. Mr. Jesse Raybon was on the sick list for several days this week. J. W. Wheeler, Jr., who is now in Chicago, Ill., is agent for the Palladium. Mr. Henry Lankford has been suffering from a severe attack of tonsillitis. Miss Olivia Richardson has been somewhat indisposed for the past week. Mrs. Alice Richardson, of 4232 North Market street, has been very ill for the past week. Mrs. Viola Lankford, who has been very ill for the past several weeks, is still confined to the bed. Mr. Harry Denny will soon appear in a new organization, which will eclipse all former ones. Watch for the first picnic of the season, May 6. Mr. Taylor, who formerly lived at 2618 Wash street, and who went to Denver a short while ago, died in Denver last week while in search of health.

Harry Johnson and Norman Lankford, who were formerly employed at the Grand Leader, will return to their old positions, as elevator boys, next week. Mrs. Josephine Jones, of East St. Louis, Ill., called upon us this week. The council of East St. Louis sent their best regards to the Palladium man, and they organized just eleven years ago. Miss Louise Benton, of 266 East Twenty-sixth street, Chicago, Ill., ex-secretary of the Palladium, who is now making her home in the Windy City, is one of the best subscribers of the Palladium. Dr. S. P. Stafford, the skillful physician, has issued a bulletin to the effect that J. W. Wheeler will be able the last of next week to take up his bed and walk—if he only gets to the door of 2617 Lawton avenue. Mr. George W. Henderson, formerly an old citizen of this city, but now a resident of Chicago, has been suffering for many weeks in a hospital in Chicago. We have learned that Mr. Henderson was obliged to have his arm amputated or his life was great. endangered. Mr. Henderson has many friends in St. Louis who are much concerned about him and extend their heartfelt sympathy. Messrs. Randall and Wells, of 2234 Market street, St. Louis, Mo., are engaged in "Gents' Furnishing Goods," and by these two gentlemen pooling their money and starting in business has been the means of employing a young lady to look after their business. While not a white store in the city will employ a Negro girl for saleslady, or to write, then let Negro men pool their money in some business that young Negro men and girls who will work can be employed. Miss Birdie McCuin, who is a saleslady for the above firm, is no doubt helping a mother who assisted her all she could to keep her in school, that she might be qualified for life. Good for Randall & Well for employing such a nice girl. the City of St. Louis a Exchange with 125 Neg THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST Building Bought By Odd Fellows.

We herewith present the delegates of the Twenty-eighth ward. You can see at once, that these gentlemen represent the party of principles. You can see from their past records that they are men above reproach; men who are well qualified to represent the constituency in every particular. We ask for them the support of every Negro in the said ward: Home Rule delegation—Wells H. Bodgett, David May, Selden P. Spencer, Pembrock K. Flitcraft, Chas. F. Wenneker, T. P. Plumridge, Morris Glaser, John S. Leahy, Wilbur F. Parker, Edward Beckmann, John F. Naugle, Andrew Hoolan, John A. Gernez, Marak r. Chartrand, M. W. Dietrich, Wm. J. McPherson, and David Brunswick. Every Man Has a Right Now that the city politics are at fever heat, every man is for himself and the devil for us all. I. H. Bradberry is leading the Howe delegates. Word has gone out that every Negro that is employed in the city under the Republican bosses will be discharged if he does not rally every Negro voter to the Howe delegation. If this be so, we trust that every Negro in the city will bite the dust rather than be duped as they have been in the last two elections. A Gorgeous Sight. Many varied and beautiful costumes were worn Friday night at the Lady Washington tea party at Orpheus Academy, the most conspicuous being those of Misses Ella Martin, Lyda Slaughter and Birdie Smith. Every feature of the occasion was up to the standard that characterizes Orpheus functions. How Is This for High? It is said that a dirty white man likes a dirty Negro who will bring him all the dirty news that might happen with them. Now we want to nnow who that Negro is? We are sure it is not a Negro man who cares anything for his race. THEY DO SAY! Mr. Kornet, of 914 Market street, is one of the best tallors in St. Louis. The Palladium man formerly had his clothes made by him, but of late years he has been too poor to have clothes made to order, and now gets them as best he can, but young men who want an up-to-date suit, go to 914 Market. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy Beats: in the West.

BIG SEADOGS ENGLAND PLANS FOR AT LEAST TWO, POSSIBLY THREE, MORE DREADNAUGHTS. BRITISH GUNNERS HIT Tells the World That Her Home Fleet Has Not Yet Reached Its Full Strength—Forty-nine Vessels Under Construction London.—A statement of the naval estimates for 1907-08, pre-sented to parliament, makes the construction of battleships during the coming year dependent in a measure on the decisions reached at the next peace conference at The Hague. Thus, the new construction, estimated at 40,500,000, against $46,175,000 for 1906-7, will, says Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the admiralty, include two, or unless an understanding between the naval powers is reached at The Hague conference, three large armored vessels of the Dreadnaught type. One fast unarmed cruiser, five torpedo boat destroyed, 12 torpedo boats and 12 submarines also are provided for. Vessels Under Construction. On April 1 there will be under construction 5 battleships, 7 armored cruisers, 8 torpedo boat destroyers, 14 torpedo boats and 12 submarines. The estimates for the year show a total reduction of 1,000 men and $5,675,000, compared to 1906-7. Lord Tweedmouth comments on the striking improvement in the gunnery of the fleet compared to last year. The average of hits was practically doubled, and the improvement was general throughout the fleet, and not confined to a picked selection of crack ships. As an illustration of this system and the better state of repair resulting from the system of nucleus crews, he compares the condition of January, 1904, when out of 60 battleships 38 were not available, owing to the need of repairs, with that of January, 1907, when out of 51 battleships only 4 were not available. Redistribution of the Fleets. In dealing with redistribution of the fleets Lord Tweedmouth touched indirectly on the position of Admiral Lord Beresford. He explained that some time would elapse before it could reach its full strength. He said the fleets at home will continue to be combined for war purposes, under the orders of the commander of the channel fleet, in other words Lord Beresford, while the channel, Atlantic and "Home" fleets will carry out their periodic maneuvers together under his command. This presumably meets Lord Beresford's objection, that practically all vessels of the destroyers class had been taken from the channel squadron for the "Home" fleet, and Lord Beresford is now in virtual command of both fleets. Principal Fighting Portion. Lord Tweedmouth's statement says the Channel and Atlantic fleets still occupy the principal fighting position, and will in no way be interfered with by the "Home" fleet, except in event of a totally unforeseen break of war during the absence of the Channel and Atlantic fleets from home waters. The total of the naval estimates is $152,212.045. FARMER KILLS FOUR. Terrible Tragedy in McLean County, Illinois. Bloomington, Ill.—Thomas Baldwin, a rich farmer and former merchant of Colfax, shot and killed Charles Kennedy and wife, and Mrs. Sim Elieman and her daughter, Cora. Baldwin, who is 68 years old and a widower, is under bond charged with an assault on Cora Eisman who was but 14 years of age. He had settled with the girl's father for a sum of money, but was subsequently arrested. He blamed the Kennylys and Mrs. Eisman for the prosecution. Baldwin narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of angry farmers. He surrendered to a deputy sheriff at Arrowsmith and was driven hurriedly to Saybrook and brought by train to Bloomington. Minister Stores Explosive in Home, Intending to Blow Out Stumps. Carmi, Ill.—By an explosion of dynamite Rev. J. B. Tittle, his father, his wife and baby were killed, and two children of the family were fatally injured. Mr. Tittle, who was a Baptist minister, had the dynamite in his house, intending to use the explosive in blowing out stumps. How the dynamite happened to explode is not known. Residence destroyed. Housekeeper and Boy Dead. St. Louis.—When Emil Koepper, a night watchman at Woodland, St. Louis county, entered his home, he went straight to the bedroom where his boys slept with his housekeeper, Mrs. Selma Geliersbach, whom he employed nine months ago, shortly after his wife died. He found his three little ones unconscious in their bed and the unconscious form of the nurse on the other bed in the room. Frank, aged 9, and the housekeeper died. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that they died from poison. State Happenings. Shot In a Saloon Fight. St. Louis—As the culmination of a grudge of over a year's standing former Detective Lee Killian is at the city hospital shot through the left breast. Little hope is entertained for his recovery. His brother, John J. (Den) Killian, is also at the hospital suffering from numerous bruises and scalp wounds. George Williams, also a former detective, is a prisoner in the holdover at the four courts, charged with the shooting, which occurred in a saloon. Big Order for Freight Cars. St. Louis.-The Missouri Pacific management has awarded to the American Car and Foundry Co. of this city a contract for 1500 stock cars, to be delivered during the present year. This completes an order for 12,000 feight cars, which the Gould lines are adding to the equipment for the Missouri Pacific-Iron Morntain lines. More motive power will be required for both lines, in addition to the locomotives already ordered. Husband Kills Wife. Kansas City,—Mrs. J. Oscar Richardson, wife of a stationary engineer, rushed between her son and husband in the act of peacemaker, at her home in a suburb, and was stabbed to the heart by Richardson. The couple had been quarreling when the son interfered, taking the mother's part. Richardson then attacked the son with a knife when the mother interfered. How's Hobo Fund. St. Louis—James Eads How, who has given thousands of dollars for the uplifting of the hobo, was invited, it is reported, to depart from the organization which he founded and financed, and after he had departed the $1,600 in the treasury was voted to the Jews of Kishineff. Mr. How is treasurer, however, and holds the money strings. Veteran of Mexican War Dead. Benton.—Daniel H. Leedy died here of pneumonia, aged 83 years, 5 months and 24 days. He served in the Mexican and civil wars. He settled in Benton in 1864. He was the father of 13 children, three of whom—Judge C. A. Leedy, Miss Daisy Leedy and Mrs. T. W. Albert—survive him. The funeral was conducted by the Masons. Saved Thirty People. St. Louis.—The harbor boat Mark Twain raced against the rapid filling of the ferryboat Carlos F. Greely, saved 30 pane-striken passengers, and pushed to shore the disabled craft, which sprang a two-foot leak and was sinking in the river. May Carry His Secret to the Grave. St. Louis.—"Sweetwater Henry," the only name by which he is known, is dying at the workhouse. He was sent to the institution in 1871, and has been allowed to remain, because he refused to leave. No one knows the old man's antecedents, and he refuses to tell. Judge Wofford, Kansas City, Dead. Kansas City.—Judge John W. Wofford, of the criminal court, for fifteen years a criminal judge, died here at the age of 69. Judge Wofford served with distinction in the confederate army with a Georgia regiment. Gould Line Boilermakers. Sedalia—Gould lines' boilermakers returned to work at the old scale, pending an appeal to Vice-President Clarke of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain on the question of a 3-cent flat increase. Detectives Are Suspended. St. Louis.—Assistant Chief of Detectives John J. Kelly and six star detectives were suspended on charges of protecting notorious thieves and accepting money from them. Fire at St. Joseph. St. Joseph—Fire which started in the fireproof store of Furbeck & Hurt, due to the explosion of a keg of paint and oil, caused a loss of $85,000. N. A. West, an employee of the firm, probably was fatally injured. Hagley. Becomes Sarcastic. St. Louis—Atty. Gen. Hadley makes sarcastic thrusts at evasions and contradictions in Standard Oil ouster hearing asserting that the federal companies are a trinity. Collision at Mexico.

Jefferson City—Missouri supreme court holds that United Railways of St. Louis not responsible for actions or damages brought against the Transit company. Indorse Investigation. St. Louis—Missouri spiritualists' association indorses organization of anti-faker league to investigate commercial dark-room seances. St. Louis Bridge Bonds. St. Louis—Judge Kinsey upholds validity of $3,500,000 free bridge bonds issue. Taxpayers' league will appeal friendly suit to supreme court. Three Children—Same Grave.

Let the Negro find out where the better class of Negroes will land, if he condescends to vote for a set of men who don't know you after the election. When the election was over last fall, every central committeeman got a position. If he did not, then his brother or cousin did. Why did not our old friend Gen. Rice get a position? He did good work in the 12th Congressional district. The only committeeman who did not get a position was Gen. Rice, a member of the 12th Congressional district committee. It was simply because he was a Negro and a member of Aunt Hagar's family. We will expect our advertisers and subscribers to be as kind and generous to us as their pockets will admit. Don't ask us what you owe, but pay us what you can while we are confined to our bed, until we get us and get things straightened out. The manager, Mr. Wheeler, is now confined to his bed. We are pleased to know that the Odd Fellows have purchased a hall that will redound in its success. The hall and property that is purchased by the different orders in St. Louis shows how thrifty and full of vim the Negro is. For years they have had no place to meet except in a white man's hall, but at last they have opened their eyes and ceased the cry of the antebellum Negro, "You may have all this world, but give me Jesus." It is a fact that the Negroes of today are contesting for every inch of the ground. The Negro orders are to the front, purchasing good property all over this city. Not six months ago, the U. B. F. paid cash for a home and farm in Hannibal. Mo., paying five thousand dollars ($5,000) for it. The Masonic Order of Missouri also bought a home and farm in Hannibal. Mo., for old Masons. The U. B. F. not long ago purchased a building at 2029 Lawton avenue for $7,500. Now comes the largest order in this country among Negroes and makes the purchase of that beautiful building, 2923 Morgan sareet, which will be a monument to that grand Order of Odd Fellows in St. Louis. All hall to these good brethren. --- Political Pointers The Ninth ward will vote her straight republican ticket. Watch her. Let the Negroes in the Twenty-third ward vote the home rule ticket. Don't be blinded by a few janitor jobs. Let the voters of the Twenty-seventh ward vote for the home rule delegation. They are your friends. Let the Negroes of the Sixth ward vote for the home rule delegation. They are all true friends of the Negro. Let the voters of the Twenty-eighth ward vote for the home rule delegation. No better men in the city. Don't fall. Let the Tenth ward roll up the good government ticket. Let every man come out. This is a fight for principle. Let every Negro voter of St. Louis visit the Negro Central League next Sunday at 2:30 o'clock, at 2727 Franklin avenue, the Odd Fellows' hall. The voters of the Fourteenth ward have been stuffed by the last two elections. Now let them vote for home rule—the right' to nominate the house of delegates men. Let the republicans in the Fifteenth ward vote for the home rule delegation. Let not your colors down. You have in former days elected six Negro delegates. Now elect the home rule ticket in this ward. Doctor Boehm has his eye on General Rice, a member of the twelfth congressional committee. He says Rice has no business on that committee because he is a Negro. Now he is asking the Negroes in the Twenty-fifth ward to vote for the Howe delegation. It is reported that the precinct at No. 1205 S. Compton avenue must be moved because there were so many bad Negroes in that precinct. This is caused from the regular republicans, the delegation that is supporting Howe and Doctor Boehm. We hope that every Negro will bury these Negro haters and send them to the woods. When the delegation of the twelfth congressional district, composed of all, from Hon. Harry M. Coudrey to Gen. Rice, went to take a social drink over their success, this man Boehm refused because Gen. Rice was in that delegation. Still he wants the Negroes of the Twenty-fifth ward to vote for him. You who know how Williams and Walker sang "Let It Alone" be sure to let him (Boehm) alone. How stands the case in the Sixteenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth wards? Home rule in the Sixteenth; citizens' republican ticket in the Eighteenth; home rule in the Twentieth ward. These wards must win out. We trust that every Negro in this ward will come to the front. Delegates: J. H. Barton, C. J. Muller, John J. Geldbach, Charles Fensky, Gustave J. Hessmann and James H. Harrison. These men must come home with flying colors—or report the reason why. JOTTINGS. Mrs. Alice Stevenson, of 2716 Lawton avenue, departed this life Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, where she had undergone an operation and was thought to have been out of danger. She has been bookkeeper for W. C. Gordon, the undertaker, for the past five years and filled the position with credit to herself, and those with whom she was connected. The funeral services will take place Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock, rfom Union Memorial church, Elliot avenue and Wash street. --- "The Old Maids' Convention" at St. James church last Wednesday night was quite a success. One of the principal features of the evening was the vocal solo, "Since You Called Me Dearie," by Miss Dimple Richardson, Miss Leona Lee was president, and filled the position honorably. Miss Hazel Richardson, who was treasurer, acquitted herself well and deserves praise for the manner in which she rendered the vocal solo. Miss Zenobia Shoulders was secretary and acted well her part. Oh, yes, the Palladium is to the front with as much vim and original spyle matter as formerly, when the Palladium man was on his feet. "Association begets assimilation." Miss Olivia Richardson has been with the Palladium so long that she can well be called the Palladium lady. Remember, we all might die sooner or later, and things move along as if nothing had happened, so don't be worried in thinking about the Palladium man, when there is a Palladium lady whom, I believe, when I am in the lonely grave yard, will be able to publish the Palladium with more vim and originality than there ever was before, and she will be a terror to evil doers. I shall when dead leave "Footprints on the sands of time," so much so that there will be a brighter time for the publisher of the St. Louis Palladium. THE FASHION WEEKLY MRS W B W BROWN. The fault of the age is a mad endeavor, To leap to heights that were made to climb. By a burst of strength or a thought most clever, We plan to forestall and outwit time. We scorn to wait for the things worth having; We want high noon at the day's dim dawn; We find no pleasure in toiling and sowing. [Picture of a woman with a high collar and a hat.] MISS OLIVIA RICHARDSON Above is the cut of Miss Olivia Richardson, the secretary of the St. Louis Palladium. She has been connected with the Palladium for the past two years, and we have found in her an aptness that is possessed by few women. It is said that secretaries and editors are born as such. We have had many secretaries and editors, but two have filled the position as such with a credit to themselves and those connected with them. Miss Katie Johnson, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of 1555 Singleton street, was with the Palladium four years. At the end of two years she was appointed as a teacher in the public schools of our city, yet for two years she edited the Palladium while she taught school; all of a sudden, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, she was married to Mr. Trugle, an honorable citizen of Memphis, Tenn. Thus she left school, and the editorial chair of the Palladium. I was at a loss what to do, having had many girls who had passed through the high school, but that was THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF CHRISTIANITY Bethlehem This Sunday will be quarterly meeting day at St. Paul's A. M. E. church. At 11 a. m., preaching and baptism by sprinkling and pouring. At 3 p. m., preaching and the administration of the Lord's Supper. This will be a united service, when the pastors of the Methodist churches of the As our forefathers in times gone by, We force our roses before their season, To bloom and blossom for us to wear, And then we wonder and ask the reason Why perfect buds are so few and rare? We crave the gain, but despise the getting; We want wealth, not as a reward but dower. And the strength that is wasted in useless fretting Would fell a forest or build a tower. all. There was nothing to them. About this time we were informed that the daughter of Mrs. Jas. T. Richardson, widow of the late J. T. Richardson, was a graduate from both the high and normal departments of Sumner High School, and I decided to try another of the graduates. She came into our office and we at once saw that there was ability and aptness for journalistic work. The affairs of the paper were entrusted to her care, while we were in the city and were attended with so much interest, that we soon realized the fact that she could publish the Palladium when we left the city; this she has demonstrated. I have been confined to the bed since January 19, 1907, with a broken foot, and have had little to say about the paper; yet under the management of Miss Olivia Richardson the Palladium has made its appearance each week, bristling with new thoughts and ideas. We predict for her a bright future in the journalistic world, if she does not turn a benedict and marry some one who will blot out her future prospects. Miss Richardson is not only to be praised for her penmanship, but also for the way in which she manages the advertising department. She knows what it costs to publish a paper, and she has her eye on the receipts, never allowing her expenditures to exceed her receipts. She has the kindest regard for all subscribers and advertisers, and may well be called the Palladium Lady. The Palladium Is Read by Many. The Negro Central League, an organization of Negroes, that is composed of Negroes all over the city, adopted the Palladium as their official organ. Yes, the Palladium is the official organ of the Wright-Curry Club, the A. U. K. and D. of Africans, the U. B. F., and Sisters of the S. M. 1., and the republican party in this state. The Palladium is read by over 5,000 people in the city of St. Louis. It goes into thirty-two different states. It is read by over 100 people in Washington, D. C. from the president down to the street cleaners. So you see that what we say somebody else reads and thinks, for the good of all. Saint Thomas city will be present with their congregations. Many young converts will commune. At 8 p. m., preaching and continuation of the Lord's Supper. All welcome. Strangers especially. W. D. COOK, Pastor. Taxing Bachelors in Missouri. Senator Thomas Kinney has introduced in the Senate a bill to tax all bachelors in the state. The bill is regarded by many as a joke, but Kinney is serious on the subject and the law if passed, will be by no means new in Missouri. When Missouri was part of Louisiana territory in 1805, a law was passed naming the subjects of taxation Along with slaves, farms, tanneries, breweries, distilleries, it named "all unmarried male persons above the age of 21 years not owning property of a taxable value of $100." It provides for a tax of $1 to be collected from every person. Later when "the county of Arkansas" had been withdrawn and Missouri territory extended only from the state's southern border to the present Canada line, a new revenue law was passed, and it was provided that all bachelors must pay a tax of $2 a year as long as they remained single. In 1820, when Missouri became a state, the revenue laws were revised and the tax for being a bachelor was reduced to $1 a year and it was provided that it should be paid only by single free white men between the ages of 21 and 50. It remained that way for a great many years. The law was finally repealed, but there is no record as to whether the bachelors sent a lobby or simply control the legislature through becoming members themselves. Senator Kinney would have the fee raised to $10 and turn the money into the school fund, but if the house of representatives insists upon it, as it doubtless will, he will consent to have the money turned into the road fund. Kinney also refuses to make the age limit as low as formerly. He is willing to make it 25 years and would not object seriously to 30 years. THE HYPOCRITES (By Robert Burns, in his dedication to the Rev. John McMath, September 17, 1785.) O Pope,* had I thy satire's darts to gle the rascals their deserts I'd rip their rotten, hollow hearts, an' tell aloud Their juglin', hocus-pocus arts to cheat the crowd. God knows, I'm no the thing I should be, But twenty times, I rather would be an atheist clean, Than under gospel colours hid be just for a screen. An honest man may like a glass, an honest man may like a lass, But mean revenge, an' malice faulte he'll still disdain. An' then cry zeal for gospel laws, like some we ken. They take religion in their mouth; they talk o' mercy, grace an' truth. For what?—to gie their malice skouth on some puir wight. An' hunt him down, o'er right, an' ruth, to ruin straight. All hall. Religion! maid divine! Pardon a muse sae mean as mine. Who in her rough, imperfect line, thus daurs to name thee; To stigmatize false friends of thine can never defame thee. Tho' blotch'd an' fou wi' mony a stain 'an' far unworthy of thy train. With trembling voice I tune my strain to join with those, Who boldly daur thy cause maintain in spite o' foes: In spite of crowds, in spite o' mobs, in spite of undermining jobs. In spite o' dark banditti stabs at worth an' merit, By scoundrels, even wi' holy rushes, but hellish spirit. O Ayr! my dear, my native ground, within thy presbyterial bound A candid libral band is found of public teachers. As men, as Christians, too, renown'd, an' manly preachers. *Burns refers to Alexander Pope the poet, born in 1688, died in 1744. COST OF FEDERAL CONTROL. The treasury department estimates that the various statutory provisions for federal control and regulation of corporations involve an expenditure of about $5,000,000 annually. The amount is apportioned as follows. To enforce the meat inspection law, $3,000,000. To enforce the pure food law, $750,000. To regulate interstate commerce, $658,000. To enforce the anti-trust laws, $250,000. Employment of special attorneys, department of justice, $125,600. Employment of special counsel for bureau of corporations, $175,000. To enforce law establishing uniform system of naturalization, $200,000.—The Commerce Monthly, St. Louis.

Cora Renouws, Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "It is the only Hair Dressing that the colored people use. It is the only one that does my hair any good." When Negro votes put white men in office, then they should get some of the offices. No Negro can be considered unless they find favor in the eyes of the city central committee. Many a candidate thinks himself a "Clay," only to discover after the election that his name is "mud." If the Negroes are to give their votes, why are they not to be considered in the making up of the Republican ticket this spring? It does not matter what service the Negroes will render in any election, they must find that same favor in the central committee or its chairman. They want three in the marriage license department, two in the license department, one in the registry department and three in the circuit clerk's office. In a political race almost any politician is satisfied if he only succeeds in getting a place; but in St. Louis all the committee or their brothers must be supplied. If the Republicans want to get the 12,000 votes of St. Louis, the Negroes of St. Louis should get one-fourth of the offices. What offices have any respectable Negroes, with the exception of John H. Johnson, of the Fifth ward? Let the central committee put three Negroes on the central committee, one each from the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth congressional districts. This will be better and a more amicable feeling will pervade the 12,000 Negro voters of St. Louis. A politician will shake your hand one minute and pull your leg the next. Let the Negro voters this spring say to the committeemen: "Remember last fall's election. What did we get for casting our vote for our beloved party? You go fishing next April." Don't play the fool any more. Some men vote as they pray, and they never pray unless it is to ask a political favor. Last fall all the committeemen got their favors in a political office. What did the Negro get? He received what the little boy shot at—nothing. Be careful men; how you vote, if you vote at all. The time is now at hand that the better class of Negroes must look to men and not party lines in city elections. Since 1899 the Republicans have been gradually letting the better element of Negroes go by, and now the Negro only gets janitorship or messenger and they think that must satisfy them. The Palladium appeals to the better judgment of the honest hard-working men to look to your own interests. If the Republicans have gone back on us, then why will we keep them in office. Out of 46,000 Republican votes, the Negro has 12,000 of that number. Take 10,000 from that and you will have left 36,000, while the Democrats will have 41,000 to 42,000 votes, while the 10,000 Negro voters are dissatisfied and did not vote. Now is the time to teach these men, who call themselves Republicans, a lesson. PROVIDENCE BAPTIST NOTES. The revival is on in full force. Rev. Dr. Duvall, of Pittsburg, Pa., is at his best. His sermons are sound in gospel truth. The interest is good and the attendance is steadily on the increase. Many valuable additions have been made to the church up to the present time. The meetings will continue every night this week and as long as the interest seems to demand it. Many of the members of the church are doing their very best to make the meetings all that they should be in bringing souls to Christ. The St. Louis Royal House of the U. B. F. o. S. M. T. Oh, yes, the Palladium man has been confined to his bed for the past six weeks, and he is a financial member of the Hoyal House, and yet the members of that august body of past office have not given him a single cake. Now if they will do this to the green tree, what will they not do to the dry tree? The best thing that can be done is to hitch the whole bunch up to a mule cart, and who will be the driver? Taxation without eating at the pie counter don't go. Mrs. H. H. Thompson, the wife of our district deputy of the U. B. F., will return to Chicago on Monday, March 4. She will make that her permanent home. We wish her well and the best wishes of the Palladium goes with her. While we were sick she brought us a very nice pie, with the name J. W.

On that date it is hoped that $2,000 will be raised for the purpose of paying the main debt of the church, which is $12,000. It is hoped that all the members and friends will give liberally as they never gave before. Our Brother and Sister in the South- land. Mrs. S. W. Williams, of Texarkana, Tex., who visits St. Louis every spring or winter, was prevented from making her annual visit this year on account of an increase in the family. She presented her husband with a bouncing boy about four months ago; therefore she must turn her attention to her home and caring for her three children; but she sent her better-half, Mr. S. W. Williams, to make the purchases for their store. We wish to state that Mr. and Mrs. Williams are doing a large business. They have what is called a department store, and the good people of Texarkana appreciate their efforts to please their many customers. They carry a large stock, and make a purchase of $364.25 for one item (shoes), and other goods in proportion. On the 1st of March Mr. Williams will open a shoe parlor in the Stevens building in connection with Dr. Stephens' drug store. When we speak of the Stevens building, we wish to state that this is a Negro gentleman's building worth from $10,000 to $12,000. Young Finney, who married one of our school teachers, Miss Nellie Will kerson, some time ago, has an office in this building, and has a large practice. Would to God we had some of their ambition in St. Louis. The time is now at hand that we want to patronize our race-business which will give employment to our young educated Negro men and women. I say men and women for this reason: The young Negro boys and girls, with but few exceptions, will not stick to work. All they care for now is what they call a good time. Their favorite work and enjoyment is theaters, academies, dance halls, masquerade balls, card playing and parading the streets from 8 o'clock to 12 and 1 a.m. Still we live in hope of the Southland. Good people come to the front with that class of young men and women who will make our homes a heaven on earth, and who will make good husbands and good wives. Then the Negro can say he has accomplished something. We doff our hats to Mr. and Mrs. Williams.

In this story we have an example of one way in which God trained the world to know and to realize that he is in the world and knows and is concerned with all that it going on here. Angels, one of them being "the angel of Jehovah," came in human form to Abraham sitting at his tent door, to bring him a message of assurance, and to see the great wickedness of the cities of the plain. There is nothing improbable in God appearing in human form in the early ages of teaching spiritual things to men, any more than in his coming in the human form of Jesus Christ, and for the same reason, namely, to impress indelibly and vividly upon the human race the reality of the presence and power and character of God. They are object lessons teaching a great truth. It has been a hard lesson to learn, and many even now have not learned it, that God is a living power among the affairs of men, and participates in them; that the word is true. "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?" (Heb. 1:14), and that he "maketh winds his messengers, his ministers a flaming fire" (Psa. 104:4). Answer to Abraham's Prayer. First.—As in all true prayer, it was by praying and the answer to prayer that Abraham became a closer friend of God, became acquainted with him. Thus we become acquainted with others by seeking the same end, counseling together, asking and receiving; as a son with his father. Second.—It was answered in the escape of Lot, the one righteous man in the city. He escaped, but lost his home, some of his children, his flock and herds, and all his property. He escaped a poor, forlorn, seemingly broken down man. The poorest investment he ever made was in property in Sodom. He was an illustration of the apostle's appeal in 1 Cor. 3:12-15. Listen to the angel's warning, Stay not in all the plain. It is not enough to go outside of the walls of the Sodom of flagrant acts of sin, open crimes, and disreputable and degrading vices; but we must not stay in that region, but keep as far away from sin as possible, from thoughts of sin, from secret sin. Listen to Christ's warning, remember Lot's wife. Look not back. Make no delay in escaping from sin. Let no regrets at the pleasures of sin stop your onward course to the place of a holy life and heaven. She did not merely turn her head and look-while hasting away, but stopped behind, and the fiery storm and eruption of liquid saline mud over-took her. Third—Abraham's prayer was answered in the destruction of Sodom, for that was essential to the promotion of righteousness which Abraham had most at heart, and also essential to the best good of his nephew Lot. God often answers the soul of our prayers while denying the form. When a little child asks his father for the moon, thinking it a bright plaything, the father answers the child's prayer by giving him the plaything which he really wants, and not the moon, which he does not want, for the gift would crush him to death. Giving him the moon would not be answering his prayer. God wants all men to be saved,—saved first of all from their sins, for all other salvation depends upon this. He longs for sinners to repent. He desires with all his nature that all men would so live that it may be possible to save them. But they must be saved from sin and not in sin. Therefore he sent his only begotten Son. The one deadly enemy to the country is unrighteousness. The ancient civilizations have perished by this poison. Greece and Rome did not fall till they were permeated with unrighteousness. And if ever there comes to pass Macaulay's vision of "some traveler from New Zealand" who "shall, in the widest of vast solitude, stand on a broken arch of London bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's," or on Brooklyn bridge to sketch the ruins of New York, it will be because of unrighteousness alone. Practical Points Jesus sees the good and the evil in us, as the angel of Jehovah did when he came to Abraham's tent and to Sodom. The wicked have within them the elements of their own punishment,—their moral natures, memory, concience, bad character, remorse. These are often dormant till God's outward punishment sets them afame. May the young see the doom of many men around them from afar off as Abraham saw the flames of Sodom and not suffer the doom as the Sodomites did, nor escape as did Lot. SENATOR BAILEY WINS OUT BY-A VOTE OF 70 TO 40, LOWER HOUSE EXERMATES HIM. The State Senate Voted, 15 to 11, Without Waiting to Hear Committee's Report. Austin, Tex.-By a vote of 70 to 40, Senator Joseph W. Bailey was exonerated by the lower house of the Texas legislature of any charges of irregular acts in public life as alleged by Representative Cocke, on Jan. 14. This action concludes six weeks of investigation that has caused Senator Bailey's constant presence in this city. On Monday, by a vote of 15 to 11, the senate exonerated Mr. Bailey without waiting to hear the report of the investigating committee. The house acted upon the recommendation of a majority of the committee for complete exoneration without submission of the evidence. Mr. Bailey's opponents pleaded to have the evidence submitted before being asked to vote, but the Bailey forces, slightly in the majority, forced a vote. Bailey Uses Emphatic Language. Senator Bailey appeared before the house after his exoneration. He strongly criticised the element starting the investigation, and expressed in emphatic language his opinion of the whole proceeding. "The leader of the contest was a man who has gambled with negroes, and if he attempts to deny it, I will prove it on him," said Senator Bailey. "One of them was convicted of embezzlement, and yet he is here drawing his cloak about him, saying that he cannot keep the democratic commandments. Blames Hearst. "They have lied about me. Their martyr is Heearst, who led his fight against Texas. The leader in this fight is the man who had this telegram published lying on the legislature, claiming it was corrupted by 'wine, women and song.' This Hearst campaign means that they want to eliminate men like me and John Sharpe Williams and place men like John Duncan. "They seek to destroy my usefulness, but, thank God, I am too far above them for them to hurt. "Not a sentence in the whole record reflects against my personal or political integrity. "Out of the 40 men who voted against my exoneration not more than four will be here next session. Not one-half of them will be in the democratic ranks at that time. They will return to the populist party, where they belong." Three Terms More—Bailey. Senator Bailey, while bitterly criticising his opponents, declared he was going to continue as United States senator from Texas for at least three terms. A STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISE It Will Run on Forever at Des Moines, Iowa. Des Moines, Ia.—Smith McPherson's decree in the case brought by the city of Des Moines ousting the Des Moines street railway from the streets, has been filed in federal court. The decree enjoins the city from its purpose, the court holding that the company has a perpetual franchise, granted in 1865, and that legislation passed in 1873 and since 1873 is not applicable because it conflicts with the federal constitution, and that the city has recognized the franchise by ordering extensions and betterments. MEXICO WILL NOT INTERVENE. Foreign Office Declares Intentions as to Central American War. Mexico City—The foreign office declares that it is not the intention of the Mexican government to intervene in Central America at this time. Dr. Baltazar Estupinian, representing Salvador and Honduras, declares that he has heard from neither government for a number of days. "Jim Crow" Dead in Oklahoma Guthrie, Okla.—The constitutional convention has formally killed the separate coach proposition by laying the committee report favoring it on the table. It had been intimated that President Roosevelt would not approve the constitution if it contained this clause. Must Not Work on Sunday. Boston—Hebrews who observe Saturday as the Sabbath violate the law by employing workmen on Sunday, even though the shop door is closed to the public, according to a decision of the full bench of the supreme court. Sued by the Government. New York—On account of alleged undervaluations of imported woolen dress fabrics, the United States government has sued Geo. Mesmin & Co. of Paris, with a house at No. 1 Greene street, this city, to recover $5,000,000. Note Teller and Clerk Arrested. Chicago—Charles H. Thornton, a note teller, and W. W. Baker, a clerk, both employed by the Hamilton national bank of this city, have been arrested, charged with having embezzled $10,000 of the funds of the bank. Arkansas Anti-Pool Bill Signed. Little Rock, Ark.—Acting Gov. John I. Moore signed the bill prohibiting pool selling in Arkansas. The bill be comes effective immediately, and will result in closing the meeting at Oak lawn track. Hot Springs. HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE. Left Thousands of Veterans with Kidney Troubles. The experience of David W. Martin, a retired merchant of Bolivar, Mo., is just like thousands of others. Mr. Martin says: "I think I have had kidney disease ever since the war. During an engagement my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring ands of others. Mr. Martin says: "I think I have had kidney disease ever since the war. During an engagement my horse fell on me, straining my back and injuring the kidneys. I have been told I had a floating kidney. I had intense pain in the back, headaches and dizzy spells and the action of the bladder was very irregular. About three years ago I tried Doan's Kidney Pills, and found such great relief that I continued, and inside a comparatively short time was entirely rid of kidney trouble."

Senator Pettus was a lieutenant in the Mexican war; he rode horseback to California with the "forty-niners" and was advanced from the rank of major to that of brigadier general in the confederate army. He was admitted to the bar at Gainsville, Ala., when he became 21 years of age. At this time Texas was an independent republic, California was a part of Mexico and Great Britain was disputing the American claim to the Oregon country. Andrew Jackson was then supreme in politics and was yet to succeed in making Polk president of the United States. THIS IS WORTH SAVING. Valuable Advice and Recipe by Well Known Authority. The following simple home-made mixture is said to relieve any form of Rheumatism or bachache, also cleanse and strengthen the Kidneys and Bladder, overcoming all urinary disorders, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.

SOME POINTS ABOUT NEEDLES. The Evolved Product of Centuries of Invention. The point of a needle is a very important part of that useful little instrument, and there are many points about needles calculated to interest the general public. The daily consumption of needles all over the world is something like 3,000,000, while every year the women of the United States lose, lose and use some 300,000,000 of those tiny tools. Few people while threading a needle have ever given a thought to the various processes through which the wire must pass before it comes out a needle. Yet the manufacture of needles includes some 21 different processes from cutting the wire and threading the double needles by the eyes to separating the two needles on the one length of wire, heading, hardening in oil, cleaning out the sides of the eye, point-setting, and final polishing. For wrapping purple paper is used, since it prevents rusting. There are many sorts of needles, for surgeons', cooks', glovemakers', weavers', salimakers', broommakers', milliners' and dressmakers' use. The needle is the evolved product of centuries of invention. In its primitive form it was made of bone, ivory, or wood. Point by point its manufacture has improved, until this little but not insignificant instrument is now one of the highly-finished products of twentieth century machinery and skill.—Zion's Herald. A FRIEND'S TIP. 70-Year-Old Man Not too Old to Accept a Food Pointer. "For the last 20 years." writes a Maine man, "I've been troubled with Dyspepsia and liver complaint, and have tried about every known remedy without much in the way of results until I took up the food question. "A friend recommended Grape-Nuts food, after I had taken all sorts of medicines with only occasional, temporary relief. "This was about nine months ago, and I began the Grape-Nuts for breakfast with cream and a little sugar. Since then I have had the food for at least one meal a day, usually for breakfast. "Words fail to express the benefit I received from the use of Grape-Nuts. My stomach is almost entirely free from pain and my liver complaint is about cured, I have gained flesh, sleep well can eat nearly any kind of food except greasy, starchy things and am strong and healthy at the age of 70 years. "If I can be the means of helping any poor mortal who has been troubled with dyspepsia as I have been, I am willing to answer any letter enclosing stamp."

Pure White Lead is the Natural Paint Pigment White Lead natural Segment Numerous compounds are being offered to take the place of white lead as a paint, but no real substitute for it has yet been found. Pure White Lead has a peculiar property of amalgamating with the wood upon which it is used—added to this it has an elasticity which permits the paint to follow the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Pure White Lead (with its full natural tenacity and elasticity, unimpaired by adulterants), alone fulfills all the requirements of the ideal paint.

Do not seek relief from suffering simply, but free your system from the disease which is the cause of your suffering. That is the message which a former victim of neuralgia sends to those who are still in its grasp. Hot applications, powders that deaden the senses and others that reduce the heart action may cause temporary relief but the pain is sure to return with greater intensity. Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a beautiful home at 811 Boulevard West, Detroit, Mich., suffered for years with neuralgia until she tried this tonic treatment. She says "My trouble began about six years ago and I did not rest as I should have, but kept up about my many duties. After a time I became so weak I could not do any work at all I had severe backaches and such dreadful headaches in the back part and top of my head. My eyes were easily tired and at times I saw black spots before them. I consulted several doctors but without the silhouette benefit. The pains were so intense that my hair turned white. "I lost continually in weight and strength and was almost in despair when a friend recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I tried them as cording to directions and soon began to feel relief. At the end of three months I had gained ten pounds in weight and had no more trouble with my nerves. I have been in perfect health ever since and can heartily commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the shomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhral jaundice, (catarrh of the liver) and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys.

Good Type of New Woman. One of the youngest assistants ever appointed by Vassar college is Miss Corliss Babson, who also has the distinction of being the champion woman high jumper. Miss Babson was recently appointed assistant to President Taylor. A graduate of the class of 1905, Miss Babson made her wonderful jumping record in the class games of 1904, when she cleared the bar at four feet two and one-half inches, a full inch above the best previous record by a woman. Excellence in athletics, however, is not Miss Babson's only forte, for she secured the prize for the best class poem two years in succession. Stimulate the Blood. Brandreth's Pills are the great blood purifier. They are a laxative and blood tonic, they act equally on the bowels, kidneys and skin, thus cleansing the system by the natural outlet of the body. They stimulate the blood so to enable nature to throw off all morbid humors and cure all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. One or two taken every night will prove an invaluable remedy. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable products, make it a blood purifier unexcelled. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated. Poetess Highly Honored. Mile.

This has only been exceeded once in 17 years. That was in 1902, when the crop was 197,000,000. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of, the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Richard Harding Davis, strange to say, has a great fordness for mince pie and in the midst of his work will send cownstairs for a quarter section every hour or two. THE CHURCH AT WORK AFTER SOULS. Work Belng Carried on by Earnest Christians at San Francisco. In Los Angeles, Cal., following the preaching of Pastor Smale, who caught the fire in the Welsh revival, a company of people have been filled with a zeal for soul-winning similar to that described in the second chapter of Acts, and in Acts 5:42: "And daily in the temple, and in every home, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ." A deaconess, writing of the work to the Christian Work, says: "We meet in Burbank hall, in the heart of the down-town district, and the work is spreading in all directions. Afternoon intercessory prayer services are still held, looking toward the world-wide revival that shall precede the coming of our Lord, but recently, without prearrangement, five hours were spent in continuous prayer, the afternoon meeting extending on into the evening without a break. Who can describe such scenes when a holy hush pervades the very atmosphere and the presence of God seems well-nigh tangible? Street meetings precede the evening services, and many are the testimonies of men arrested on their way to the theater and other places of amusement by the sweet Gospel songs, and induced to follow the workers into the hall, where under the clear Gospel teaching of Pastor Smale, they are convicted of sin and find peace and rest at the Saviour's feet. Workers are going out into all parts of the city carrying the Gospel in printed form to unevangelized homes, and the deaconesses of the church are coming into touch with many of the working girls of the city in short noonday services, held at different places of employment. The church is sending out two missionaries to establish a Gospel work in China, and a band of young people are preparing to follow them as the Lord shall lead." He that will do the will of God so far as he sees it, and speak the Word of God as far as he can understand it, shall in due time be wise. WHERE GOSPEL IS NEEDED. Barbarities in New Hebrides That Stir Christian Hearts. Dr. John G. Paton writes from the New Hebrides to the Malaysia Message (Singapore) a story of barbarity that reads, as the editor says, "more like a book of bygone days than a record of contemporaneous happenings." Some of the island tribes were recently at war, and three native Christians volunteered to go inland unarmed and plead for peace and reconciliation. The three were shot, however, and one of them was eaten by an old cannibal chief and his people. On some of the islands the fathers sell their daughters for from six to twelve large hogs aplice. If the girl tries to run away, her master brands her with burning sticks, or burns her knees with hot stones till she becomes a cripple and cannot run away again. "When Christianity comes," adds Dr. Paton, "all these cruelties are at once put down, and given up, not only among our converts and all who join them, but also among all living round and near whom they can reach and influence." You do not find truth until you make Him the way; then truth leads to life. CHINA'S PROGRESS. Missionary Writes of Changes Which Are Taking Place. Dr. J. F. Griggs, a medical missionary in Peking, declares that China has made more progress in two years past than in a thousand years preceding. Pig tails are to be cut off; footbinding is to cease; the buying and selling of women is forbidden; girl's schools are to be fostered; civil service examinations are to include modern and practical studies; jury trials are to be introduced; the penal code has been revised, and brutal forms of punishment abolished; a constitutional government is promised in 12 years—sconer if the people can be prepared; daily Chinese newspapers are multiplying; a modern army is being developed; electric lighting, telegraphs, telephones, railways and like improvements are being fostered; Sunday is to be observed in the empire and its foreign embassies. the sermon is sure to seem sleepy to the Saturday night reveller. Secluded Missionary Post. The most secluded missionary post in the world is probably the one in Heiskel island, inhabited by Eskimos in the far northwest of Canada. The nearest post office is 2,000 miles distant, so that mail matter can be forwarded to the station only twice a year. The island, moreover, is rough and inhospitable; in winter the sun shines no longer than two months, and nowhere is there any vegetation. Chaplain for Jail. Christian Endeavors of Chicago support a chaplain in the Cook county hospital, who directs the evangelistic work of the different societies among the patients.

Though many of the descendants of the illustrious Edgar Allan Poe inherit some of his illustrious instincts, it is probably more marked in the case of "Johnnie" Poe, who can well be styled a typical soldier of fortune. Mr. Poe belonged to the great Fifth regiment of Baltimore and served during the war with Spain, after which he went to the Phillippines, where he was offered a commission for efficient-work. For the second time, however, he refused the honor and remained a private. At the expiration of his term he came back to this country and wandered to the famous Death valley and from there to the Tonopah district, from which he was lured in the late fall by the call of the gridiron. VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. Suffered Threo Years—Physicians Did No Good—Perfectly Well After Using Cuticura Remedies. "I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am prefectly well, the disease having left me entirely. I cannot recommend the Cuticura Remedies too highly to any one suffering with the disease that I have had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, Ill., October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S. Berger." Danger in Salt Baths. Salt water, so strengthening ordinarily, is most weakening when too warm. On most ocean boats there is an abundance of warm water in the bathrooms, and the daily salt bath is a great tonic, but beware of getting it too hot. It will turn you faint if you do, even if you are accustomed to an equally high temperature in fresh water at home—Travel Magazine. AILING WOMEN How Many Perfectly Well Women Do You Know? ? "I am not feeling very well," "I am so nervous it seems as though I should fly." "My back aches as though it would break." How often do you hear these significant expressions from women friends. More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and there is a cause. More than thirty years ago Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered the source of nearly all the suffering endured by her sex. "Woman's Iils," these two words are full of more misery to women than any other two words that can be found in the English language. Sudden fainting, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing-down sensations, displacements and irregularities are the bane of woman's existence. The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also discovered a remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs holds the record for a greater number of absolute cures of female ills than any other one remedy the world has ever known and it is the greatest blessing which ever came into the lives of suffering women. Don't try to endure, but cure the cause of all your suffering. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.

Remember this spring two years ago, when the Republicans were sure that they had elected the majority of the city council, they held a caucus of the Republicans and indorsed a white man for servant-at-arms of the city council. This position was formerly held under the Republicans by a Negro, and after our hard fight for the success of the party, that was a slam at the Negro Republicans. Should not the Negro know what part he will play at the outcome of the spring section. If you as a Negro do not know, and they will not share the victory with you, then stay at home next April. The city committee has reported that 200 good Republicans have been selected to pass upon the candidates that will be put up for the Republicans of St. Louis to vote upon next spring (April). If this is the way the city central committee is to hand out to the Republicans (Negro Republicans), it will be well for the Negroes of St. Louis to remain at home next April, as nothing will be offered them. The Negro who can vote the Republican ticket next April can do anything. You voted last fall, and what did you get? If you are not allowed representation on the committee and on the board of two hundred, then why will you fatten frogs for snakes? Stop! Stop! at once. The ballot was placed in the hands of the Negro that he might defend himself. Now that the carpetbaggers of St. Louis have been working the Negro to a finish, it is now time for the Negro to apply the time he has been putting in politics. Let him put it in business or his race affairs. The cheap politicians are a hindrance to the Negro's progress. We are in St. Louis and we art a part of the body politics. We have voted solidly for the Republicans in the city, and no Republican can be elected unless the Negro votes. This being so, then what shall we expect? We should be accorded a seat at the pie counter. This has been denied us ever since the Hon. Chauncey I. Filley stepped down and out of power. What we want is a part of the pie; this old game of promise has passed. The cheap politician thinks that the Negro should be satisfied as a janitor or messenger. This is a sad mistake. If there is nothing in the political "heave-up" for the Negro, then let him stay at home on election day, for there is nothing in it for the Negro after the election. The spring election is at hand, and the Republican have adopted the same tactics that were adopted last fall and carried out by the state committee; that is: Letting the Negro alone. The few that were sent out by the state committee had no influence, and with but a few exceptions were unknown by the Negroes of the state. At the election last fall the Negroes of St. Louis voted almost to a man for the Republican ticket; so much so that the congressman in the Third congressional district was elected by only 38 votes. Since that time all of the elected officers have taken charge of the offices to which they were elected. We ask this question: What have they done for the Negro in st. Louis? What have the respectable Negroes in St. Louis received at their hands? What respectable Negroes have had the least say so in regards to whom of their race should be appointed to office? Are the Negroes that have been appointed to office representing the race? Let us ask this question: Will the twelve thousand Negroes of St. Louis vote to give 28 central committeemen offices before the Negro gets anything? Our answer to that is: Not by a jugfull. Now is the time to act. If you have been ignored in the lect election, let the Negro stay at home. If you have not a part at the pie counter, then why will you act the pack-horse for others who do not care for you? My advice to the Negro is to stay at home until you know what part you, as a Negro, are to play after next spring's election. 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 but 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. Don't forget to go to "Sam," the Tailor, and get your winter suit or a present for your friend. He is doing a large business, as you know, at 204 and 206 N. Fourteenth street. He also has a working store at 1322 Pine street.

Mr. John McCord, of 1233 Spruce street, had his hand very badly burned about a week ago. My advice to him is "take the best care of your hand." He was up to see the Palladium man last Saturday, and showed me his hand; it was a horrible sight, and he had onl ya small piece of muslin around it.
