M. headquarters for Late Mr. Floyd Ross Last evening True Reformers' hall was brilliantly illuminated, and a large assembly of Reformers and friends gathered to attend a reception in banquet tendered the honorable distinguished chief, Floyd Ross, and his wife by the St. Louis division. Chef Ross and his wife have labored with the St. Louis division for three years, and this elaborate and warm greeting was extended to them for their excellent service and many accomplishments. A short, interesting programme was rendered under the direction of Miss Catherine R. White, mistress of ceremonies. The participants deserve much credit for their excellent performances. The guests were escorted to the banquet table under the strains of sweet music rendered by Miss Margie Patton. Over one hundred persons were served and each seemed pleased. The table was formed in letter S, and THE FIRST YEAR OF HIS LIFE The above cut represents little Harry Sutherland, of 1615 Lucas avenue.

STORE cards CARDS in Stock Advertising Medium in the LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Mrs. M. C. Terrell presented "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject" to a large and appreciative audience in the Institute auditorium on the evening of Feb. 22. As this cultured, refined and brilliant woma nstood before her audience, and, later, as in the circle of her friends, the president and faculty, the conversation rapidly turned upon the great problem of the age, and the questions of the hour, one could noff eel otherwise than happy and elated over the logical chain of national events in the month of February that make possible, connect and indissolubly bind the names, life and character of George Washington, Father of His Country; Abraham Lincoln, the empancipator of a race; Frederick Douglass, leader of the American Negro, and Mary Church Terrell, flower of Afro-American womanhood! Among the many, many excellent points in the lecture, one that naturally forcibly impressed the writer, as teacher of history, was the stress the speaker placed upon the value of this most fascinating subject—history. Mrs. Terrell dwelt upon the deplorable fact that the valuable part which the Negro has played in the making of this country, his bravery as a soldier, his loyalty in peace and in war, are so studiously avoided by American historians. We wish in this article to emphasize this before-mentioned point—the value of the study of history—for we are so often tauntingly referred to as a race without a history. This fact in itself is quite sufficient to tessen the self-respect of a people unschooled in taking such enlarged views of men and affairs as some only with wide knowledge of historical facts. Extensive study of ancient civilizations will raise the Negro's respect for himself and for his race; and as he reads of the enslaved conditions, enforced degradation and bitter persecution of other races—the Anglo-Saxon included—of the slow and painful processes by which, step by step, toiling upward through the centuries, these races have thrown off the yoke of bondage and have developed into the foremost nations of the world, he will be helped toward that constructive patience so necessary in the making of an individual or of a race. We advisedly use the expression constructive patience, for mere patience, for mere patience worketh little unaccompanied by initiative power in the individual or race to do things. Reading clubs, literary societies and personal effort can do much along the line indicated by urging the study of universal history, philosophy of history, etc., and there will be a rich reward for all who closely examine the history of the Egyptians, Ethiopians and other ancient inhabitants of Africa, as well as in that of the long exploited Greeks and Romans; and when, as in the case of the late Frederick Douglass, and possibly a few others of our race, we are financially strong enough to find our own scholars delving in the ruins of the Nile valley and other portions of Africa, there may be some startling historical revelations. A very pleasing and instructive feature of life at Lincoln Institute is the after-dinner talk, or better, conversation, of President Allen and the students, during which current topics brought forth in the daily papers, standard magazines and high class books, come up for discussion and comment. Longfellow Day was thus appropriately celebrated, and many were the profitable lessons from this author impressed upon the young people assembled. Holmes, Lowell, Tennyson and Emerson, in order mentioned, have followed, and have furnished a veritable "feast of reason and flow of the soul" long to be remembered by all present. JOSEPHINE SILONE-YATES. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Troubles. The ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Is Recognized As The Leading AfroAmerican Paper Of The West. A. E. H. A Missouri Negro at the Head of His Profession. Mr. J. A. Lankford, M. S., the noted Negro architect and builder, who stands at the head of his profession, was in the city this week. He is a young Negro of brain, push and ability. He is a little over 30, was born and raised in Potosí, Mo., a country town about 60 miles south of St. Louis. He worked on the farm and in the mines, went through the public schools of his native town and saved his money and went to Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, where he finished several trades, taking a special course in natural and chemical science. For the last ten years he has been interested in the Industrial development of the Negro race, having been connected as a professor, architect and industrial adviser of some of the best Negro schools of the country, he has accumulated considerable wealth, and is one of the most prominent business men of Washington, D. C., being president of the Business League of District of Columbia. In the past few years he has designed and built some of the best public and private buildings in the country. His work is not at all local, some of the most prominent buildings being as follows: True Reformer building, Washington, D. C., at a cost of $100,000; Good Hope building, Baltimore, Md., said to be the largest building in the United States designed by a Negro, at an estimate cost of $200,000: a twenty-room residence for Dr. W. L. Taylor, Richmond, Va., at a cost of $14,000; Queen Street Baptist church, $40,000, Norfolk, Va., and hundreds of others of more or less cost and importance. Every Negro in this country should see to it that this young man should have a chance to design the churches, schoolhouses and society and business buildings. He can do it as well and cheap as any white man and he gives employment to hundreds of our race. He makes plans and specifications from verbal, written or pinnacle drawings and maits them to any section of the country and will give advice along building or contraction lines.

However, the lords may pleasantly invite the commons to come outside and put them out. Always be polite to everybody. But don't let that interfere with your getting your fair share. Thomas A. Edison has left his workshop to play the rest of his life. He certainly has earned his vacation. Perhaps the reason that John D. Rockefeller gave that $32,000 was that somebody had called him a tightwad. A Western bachelor, 62 years old, boasts that he never told a lie. Which upsets the theory that the good die young. A California man placed six sticks of dynamite in a stove to thaw and then went to bed. His going to bed was a waste of time. A New York man nearly died from swallowing a half-dollar while he was in a restaurant. We should have thought it would have been the waiter.

And why not let the special delivery fee for letters be paid with ordinary postage stamps? Such an arrangement would save a vast deal of annoyance at times on the part of the letter senders, and likewise simplify the work of the stamp clerks. Life is full of disappointments. For instance, there's the case of the London man who broke into the window of a pastry shop and took what he thought was a pie. He found it to be an imitation china dish, filled with sawdust, and while he was expressing his disgust the policeman came along and gathered him in. Prof. Pickering says that the moon was located in the Pacific ocean until it broke away from the earth and set up in business for itself. That should establish our title to it should dispute ever arise over the ownership of the moon. We fancy it will be admitted without dispute that we own the Pacific. The probable existence of a large planet beyond Neptune was pointed out by Prof. George Forbes a quarter of a century ago. His theory was based on the orbits of comets, but he has since noted perturbations of Neptune that seem likely in a few years to give a good idea of the position of this unknown body. Princess Victoria Patricia, daughter of the duke and duchess of Connaught and niece of King Edward, is one of the most traveled of the young English princesses. Last year she passed in South Africa, and now she expects to visit India and Canada with her parents. Although she is barely 21, she has gone about much more than most of her cousins, the majority of whom were married very young; but among them none is more popular than this vivacious little lady, who will be among the next royal visitors to the American continent. Nicaragua and Honduras threaten to go to war and they will probably do so. These doughy little scappers do not fool around bluffing for a year or two like some European nations.

NO WAR WITH KAISER France, Aware of the Understanding, Makes Threat of Retaliation— Volume of Trade with Both Countries. Washington—Just at a time when France is talking about imposing restrictions on American commerce, Germany, with the wise diplomacy which has been so characteristic of the kaiser's government since Baron Sternburg came to the United States, practically has concluded an agreement extending the modus vivendi between the two countries for at least another year. This means that the United States will continue to have the benefit of the lowest German tariff rates on all of our products for another year from next June. Root and Sternburg Agree. A conference was held between Baron Sternburg and Secretary Root as a conclusion of the series of similar conferences, several of which have been participated in by the president. As a result of this Baron Sternburg has received assurances that the agreement will be put in shape for signature so that he can carry it back to Germany himself when he sails for home April 9. This will be the termination of the threatening condition of affairs between the two countries, so far as commerce is concerned, and it is a peculiar personal triumph for Secretary Root and Baron Sternburg. They have between them avoided a commercial war, which could not fail to be disastrous to both countries. Our Trade with Germany. About a year ago Germany gave notice that unless the United States was prepared to enter into reciprocity agreements the maximum tariff rates of the German empire would be applied on all articles produced in this country. The effect of this course would be to destroy American trade in Germany, which is not a pleasant thing to contemplate, because last year our exports to the fatherland amounted to the respectable total of $234,742,102. Our imports from Germany at the same time amounted to $135,142,996. That means, of course, that we sold Germany about $100,000,000 more than we bought of her, so that in case of a disastrous tariff war between the two countries the United States would be a heavy loser. France and Maximum Tariff. Cable dispatches indicate that the French government is about to put into effect the maximum tariff against the United States. There is suspicion here that this threat is caused by knowelge reaching Paris that the agreement between Secretary Root and Baron Sternburg is about to be signed. The trade of the United States with France is by no means as important as that with Germany. Our exports to France for the fiscal year 1906 were only $97,892,480, or a good deal less than half the value of goods we sold to Germany. On the other hand, our imports from France were $108,415,350, so that our sales and purchases with the great European republic are nearly equal. We should, therefore, gain about as much as we would lose on a commercial war with France, and would be in a particularly good position to carry it on, because our foreign trade with Germany would be intact for at least a year from next June. A JAP MILITARY ENGINEER. Died in Mexico Before Reaching the United States. Guadalajara, Mex.—One of the Japanese who deserted the construction camps of the Mexican Central railroad died a few days ago at the Santo Domingo mine of the Ampara Mining Co., in the Etzlan district of this state. His papers were turned over to the general manager of the company, and it was found he was a military engineer in the employ of the Japanese government. Before his death the Japanese engineer stated that he was on his way to the United States. Fifty Thousand Dollars a Year, with Headquarters in New York. Minneapolis, Minn.—John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, who resigned his seat in the senate, is to become chief counsel and general adviser of James J. Hill and the many big interests which Hill represents. Mr. Spooner will make New York city his headquarters, and will receive a salary of $50,000 a year. This nails the story that Spooner is going with Harriman. Let the Japs Have the Trade. New York—If the Great Northern steamship Dakota is lost, as seems almost certain, James J. Hill will not replace the vessel. He says that he does not expect to build any more ships under the American flag, and that, so far as the traffic which the Great Northern Steamship Co. would lose because of the loss of the Dakota was concerned, the Japanese lines would be compelled to care for it. It was to give impetus to trade with the orient that Mr. Hill built the Dakota and her sister ship, the Minnesota. S. L. PICKETT. Fresh DRUGS Daily 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor.

When the pie counter is set they will find that they had not been provided for. Now is the time to make the Republicans provide for you or refuse to vote. If the Republicans want the Negro voters to aid them in the election against the Democratic party, then we must be assured of a position that is equal to any appointed position. We beg of the Negro to stand up for the Negroes. Forty-six thousand votes wins in St. Louis. The Democrats have about 43,000 votes when they don't get any Negro Republican votes. When they get Republican Negro votes they have from 43,000 to 46,000 votes. Now take 7,000 or 8,000 from the Republican party and that will leave them 38,000 votes, giving the Democrats 3,000 Negro votes and 7,000 not voting. Now, Mr. Negro, you had better find out what part you and your race will play. Prof. John A. Lankford, who now resides in Washington, D. C., is a Missouriian by birth. He passed through the Missouri public schools and entered Lincoln Institute, where he studied for seven years. He came to St. Louis and opened a blacksmith shop; he was dissatisfied and desired to push farther on. He went to the famous school, Tuskegee Institute, where the Hon. Booker T. Washington presides. Here he spent two years, until Mr. Washington found in him a genius. Not long afterward the presiding officer of the True Reformers went to Tuskegee on a visit and saw in Mr. Lankford all the elements which go to make up great men. He was selected to design and superintend the building of the True Reformers' structure, which cost $100,000, in Washington, D. C., and other magnificent buildings. He stands at the head of the Negro architects in this country. He is the son-in-law of that fearless and honorable bishop, H. M. Turner, the senior bishop of that A. M. E. church. Missouri is proud of her son, Prof. John A. Lankford. PICKETT'S NUMBER NINE (NO. 9) For the Bowels and Liver. Safe and speedy purgative. Gives quick relief; does not gripe.

Mrs. Ella Barnes Johnson has neatly furnished rooms for rent at 2911-13-17 Olive street. Mr. Jesse Johnson, one of our enterprising young men, was called to Chicago on business. We wish him much success. Mrs. Anna Sexton, 2605 Lawton avenue, was called to the bedside of her son last Tuesday, who is very ill in Pueblo, Col. Mrs. Mayme Robinson, formerly of St. Louis, but now of Kansas City, was in the city last week to attend the funeral of Mrs. Stevenson. Mr. J. A. Lankford, of Washington, D. C., passed through the city last week en route home from Potosi, Mo, where he was called to attend the funeral of his father. Mr. Charles Q. Clark, the tailor, has just returned from Hot Springs, and is now ready to make your spring suits and overcoats. Let us all patronize this energetic young man. The Golden Rod club of the First Baptist church will have a donkey party and fish fry at the residence of Mrs. R. H. Cole, 3527 Lawton avenue, Monday evening, March 11, 1907. Admission 10c. Mrs. R. H. Cole, president; Mrs. A. Turner, secretary. Mr. J. W. Palmer, a native of Alabama, but who for the past 28 years has resided in Delmar, Nev., was in the city last week. More than 18 years ago he built a hotel in Delmar called the Palmer house, of which he is proprietor. We wish him continued success. Mrs. Josephine Jones, M. E. Q. of the council in Belleville, Ill., of the A. U. K. and D. of A., is very ill. Mrs. Josephine Jones, of East St. Louis, the Most Excellent Queen of Illinois, was called to Belleville to preside over the council. We hope she will soon recover. "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." The grand master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. ought to come to St. Louis and suspend some of these so-called presiding officers, for they speak very disrespectful of their supreme officer, S. T. Pettigrew. Put them out of the order. Miss Hattie Mitchell entertained a number of young ladies at her home, 2115 Walnut street, last Sunday evening. Quite an enjoyable time was spent in playing games. Among those present were: Misses Belle Thompson, Hattie Johnson, Cardinal, Florence Collar, Gabrella Collins, Ida Mitchell, Feba, Warner, Blanche Lee, Pinkey Nunley, Anna Scott and Mmes. Williams, Pitts, Harris and Hunter. Mrs. Alice Stevenson, of 2716 Lawton avenue, was buried from Union Memorial church last Saturday at 1 p. m. The Pythian Court, of which she was a member, had charge of the body. The church was filled to overflowing and many were the friends who were present to look for the last time upon one whom was loved by all. Her floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. The Masonic, or the Order of Freemasonry, has bought a home for the aged Masons and their widows and orphans. At present they have in the home Brother William Johnson, of Lodge No. 2, St. Louis, Mo.; John H. Foster, Lodge 85, Kansas City, Mo.; Robert Montgomery, Lodge 13, Appleton, Mo.; Mrs. Lucy A. Delaney, St. Louis, Mo.; P. G. Matron, St. Louis, Mo.; Brother McKinney, Lodge 42. This is a most worthy act of the order. Let others follow. Mrs. Elizabeth Graham, of 4121 Fairfax avenue, beloved mother of Miss Minnie Graham, departed this life Sunday, Feb. 17, at 7:05 o'clock. She leaves two daughters, three sons and many friends to mourn her loss. She was a member of Big Zion church, 2625 Morgan street, and was also connected with the True Reformers. We have known Mrs. Graham for the past six years, as she was a subscriber to the Palladium during that time and until her death. We never met a better Christian lady in our life—always ready to give a good word to those that were in low spirits, and was ever ready to look upon the bright side of things. We all will miss her kind words of cheer, but none will miss her more than her dear, loving children. May the good Lord dry the tears and bind the sad hearts of the dear relatives and friends and bid them look forward to the time that they will meet in the Heaven of Heavens, and it will be theirs to bask in the sunlight of our God are the wishes of the Palladium.

Washington, March 6.—Under the method of handling undelivered mail matter inaugurated in January by Assistant Postmaster General De Graw, the division of dead letters is now returning all letters to senders when they can be identified. Heretofore a considerable portion of the returnable letters could not be returned owing to lack of facilities, but the report of the dead letter division for February shows the return of a full 100 per cent of mail of this character. In all, 1,$50,303 pieces of undelivered mail were received at the division in February, 1907, as compared with 494,136 pieces in Fezruary of last year. In 6,212 of the letters opened, money to the amount of $5,-946,58 was found. Notice! After seven weeks down, J. W. Wheeler will leave his bed, March 10, and in a few days will be out on the street, so says Dr. S. P. Stafford. Notice. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Why is it that some Negro women shed so many crocodile tears at the funeral of those women with whom they were not on speaking terms; so much so that it causes comment? My advices to them is to keep their crocodile tears back and be honest. A New Coon in Town. A few days ago news came to us that a new coon had just returned to our city and he was very much incensed about an article that appeared in the Palladium some months ago. We wish to say if he doesn't stop his chin-music, we will publish the proceedings of the city court that happened a few years ago, when someone had to cough up $100. Now keep your place. Don't you see? Abraham Lincoln Lee, Treasurer of Dead Beat Society. Mr. A. L. Lee, treasurer of the Dead Beat Society, is a dandy, indeed. It is a pity that he has a wife and daughter, who are ladies in the best of society, and are forced to be mortified by the conduct of the man who wants to be something and doesn't know. A Coon Whose Picture Is in the Rogue's Gallery at Four Courts. A few days ago a lady and gentleman were inquiring about the condition of the Palladium Man and remarked they hoped he would soon be out again. Whereupon, this coon, whose picture is in the rogue's gallery, said he wished the Palladium Man would die. The gentleman said: "You ought to be ashamed, and the last person to say a word against him, for if he knew that you said anything about him he would not leave a greasy spot of you.

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. NEWSOME, WADE & CO.

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." What the Negro wants is a committee of three on the committee of two hundred on the central committee. 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 H. B. F. & 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. W. hacked in the pie. While we have been sick friends the least expected came to our relief. May she prosper in everything that she may lay her hands to. Woman Killed in Runaway.

They will find, on entering our church, an opportunity to apply all of their talents and powers in a useful way. Oldest Odd Fellow in the West Dies David W.

Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand Work from the Field. There is a renaissance in penmanship, despite the speedy comforts of the typewriters. Ten years ago it probably would not have occurred to anyone to show a page of manuscript at any exhibition; to-day pages or books of script form a feature of every show which takes to itself the name of arts and crafts. Some of the work is in Roman capitals, but the form of letter usually adopted is the unciel or half-unciel. Apparently all the writers have founded themselves in these models. Within these last few years not only has the art attracted a good deal of attention, but it has become quite the rage, so that in some circles it creates no more surprise now to learn that an amateur is taking lessons in script than it would have done some years back to be told that he or she had taken to poker work. From one viewpoint it is difficult to say where writing ends and illustration begins, but though in the recent revival the two arts naturally have gone hand in hand, the scribe and the illuminator are not necessarily one and the same person. Some of the illuminations show most elaborate and minute figure decoration, so delicate in coloring and so refined in treatment that it challenges comparison with the best of old work. The Real Ruler. The 'duchess of Roxburgh, who was Miss May Goelet of New York, has taken up the prevalent craze to collect animals and she is building a miniature zoo at Floors castle. In fact, the duchess, a masterful little lady, has everything she want. One of the duke's tenants, wishing some concession, went to the castle and told his errand to an old retainer, adding that he would like to see the master in person. "Eh, mon," retorted the aged servant, who is not entirely reconciled to the new order of affairs, "there is only a maister in this hoose that times and that's no' the duke. Ye should see the duchess." Expect Contest Over Will. A contest is expected over the wife of Mrs. Isabelle Beecher Hooker, sister of Henry Ward Beecher. Mrs. Katherine Burton Powers of Brookline, Mass., granddaughter of Mrs. Hooker, is expected to contest the will. The bulk of the estate which is estimated at about $70,000, is given to the son of Mrs. Hooker, Dr. Edward B. Hooker of Hartford. Mrs. John C. Day of New York, daughter of Mrs. Hooker, receives nothing "because," according to the will, "she and her daughter are so amply provided for by the estate of her late husband." At a Disadvantage. "The court fortune teller is going to resign," said one Russian official. "Yes," answered the other; "he is at a disadvantage. If he predicts bad news, he comes into royal disfavor, and if he predicts good news, it doesn't come true."—Washington Star. MORE BOXES OF GOLD And Many Greenbacks. 325 boxes of Gold and Greenbacks will be sent to persons who write the most interesting and truthful letters of experience on the following topics: 1. How have you been affected by coffee drinking and by changing from coffee to Postum. 2. Give name and account of one or more coffee drinkers who have been hurt by it and have been induced to quit and use Postum. 3. Do you know any one who has been driven away from Postum because it came to the table weak and characterless at the first trial? 4. Did you set such a person right regarding the easy way to make it clear, black, and with a snappy, rich taste? 5. Have you ever found a better way to make it than to use four heaping teaspoonfuls to the pint of water, let stand on stove until real boiling begins, and beginning at that time when actual boiling starts, boil full 15 minutes more to extract the flavor and food value. (A piece of butter the size of a pea will prevent boiling over.) This contest is confined to those who have used Postum prior to the date of this advertisement. Be honest and truthful, don't write poetry or fanciful letters, just plain, truthful statements. Contest will close June 1st, 1907, and no letters received after that date will be admitted. Examinations of letters will be made by three judges, not members of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Their decisions will be fair and final, and a neat little box containing a $10 gold piece sent to each of the five writers of the most interesting letters, a box containing a $5 gold piece to each of the 20 next best, a $2 greenback to each of the 100 next best, and a $1 greenback to each of the 200 next best, making cash prizes distributed to 325 persons. Every friend of Postum is urged to write and each letter will be held in high esteem by the company, as an evidence of such friendship, while the little boxes of gold and envelopes of money will reach many modest writers whose plain and sensible letters contain the facts desired, although the sender may have but small faith in winning at the time of writing. Talk this subject over with your friends and see how many among you can win prizes. It is a good, honest competition and in the best kind of a cause, and costs the competitors absolutely nothing. Address your letter to the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., writing your own name and address clearly.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."—Matt. 5:9. TIME. According to time given in Bible margins Isaac was born about 1866 B.C. and died 1716 B.C. at the age of 90 years. PLACE. Born in Beezsheba he spent most of his life in the south, including such places as Hebron, Beersheba, Gerar, Beer-Lahai-Roi.

A Long, Simple Life of Peace.—Vs. 12-25. Isaac lived with his father in the great encampment of "The Oaks," near Hebron, till Abraham's death, B. C. 1821. He inherited his father's property and position, and continued the same kind of life as a farmer chieftain. Moving towards the well of Lahairol, "The well of the Living One that Seeth Me." George Adam Smith and Henderson in Hastings' Bible Dictionary place it about 50 miles south (and a little southwest) of Beersheba, on one of the caravan routes to Egypt. Here it was that Ishmael's mother Hagar found a resting place and a fountain of water after her hopeless wanderings in the desert. Alexander Whyte thinks that Isaac was attracted to this place, and pitched his tent toward Beerlahai-rol, because he had heard from his nurse Hagar's lips her wonderful story of this place. "Isaac could never walk round that well, or sit down beside it, or drink out of it, but his tears would come fast for poor, ill-used Hagar and poor, outcast Ishmael, till he wished again that he had never been born rather than that they should both be outcast from their proper home on his account;" and "here God visited Isaac also." 24. The Lord Appeared Unto Him.—In what way we know not, but probably as in other appearances to his people. "The God of Abraham." "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." "Therefore he is assured that Abraham is not lost by death, nor God's covenant with him lost." "Fear not." As a man of peace, unwilling to strive or fight, he may have feared that his enemies would take advantage of his good disposition, and injure him. God forbids him to have no fear so long as he is serving God and doing right. He is assured against any doubts or fears he may have had, or any feeling of unworthiness from his having so different a career from his father, that the covenant with Abraham, with all its blessings, is continued to him, the son and heir. The Man of Peace.—The only way to overcome evil is with good. Pulling up weeds never, alone, makes a good garden. It is true that so long as there is evil in the world there will be conflict and commotion. Peacemaking does not mean that we are not to oppose that which is wrong or disturb the quiet of corruption and crime. Nothing is settled till it is settled right. There can be no peace to the wicked. Our first duty, therefore, is, at any cost, of disturbance, to get things where peace is possible. Character Study of Isaac.—There are two kinds of men useful as examples. First. There are those who do heroic things, great, grand, and visibly glorious, who are ideals set before us, mostly far, far beyond our hope of attaining, but yet visible illustrations of spiritual greatness and heroism, without which every life and the whole world would be poor indeed. Second. There are those who live our common, every-day life with such nobleness, such sweet and holy spirit, doing everything from the highest motives, "living," as Starr King once said, "all the beatitudes daily," that they are a perpetual inspiration to us every day of our lives. They touch our character, not in special emergencies, but in every act of every day. Jesus Christ embodies both qualities. His coming to save, his death on the cross, and, in a sense, all between were the utmost heights of heroism and self-sacrifice. But his daily life was, in many ways, like that of the ordinary man brought up to the perfect ideal. And this kind of life, touching our daily needs and cares and duties, was essential to our best welfare. Now, Isaac was an example of daily living, such as belongs to us, filled with the spirit which should pervade, inspire, and elevate our daily lives. His life was uneventful, almost monotonous. He has been called "the Wordsworth of the Old Testament." We find in him "those refined, sensitive, pleasant, passive virtues which make tender and helpful the home relations, and which are the grace of all social intercourse." Practical Points. We are apt to underestimate the value of commonplace, uneventful lives. On the contrary we should "thank God for putting some very ordinary, commonplace men in his gallery of Scripture portraits." The unseen powers of the world are far mightier than the visible manifestations of power we see around us. In a single drop of water there is electricity enough to kill a man. The great battles of life, the Marathons, the Waterloos, the Gettysburgs, are often fought on the silent battlefields of the heart. PREACHER AND THE POET. Writer Speculates on Shakespeare as a Churchgoer. Probably Shakespeare did his own thinking on questions of religion, said little, and conformed strictly to the existing order. Still we question if he was a good churchgoer. The town and church of Stratford had a decided bent toward Presbyterianism, and there is reason to think that he did not get on well with it in this respect. Himself the wisest of preachers, he does not seem to have been fond of preaching. That which sounds most like it—and very wise it is—comes from Polonius, whom he calls "a prating old fool." We fear that when he walked to church with his wife he went no farther than the porch, but strolled along the Avon, where he was found by Susanna and Judith on "a grassy bank" in close converse with "daisies pied and violets blue," and "herb-o-grace" as became Sunday. And in winter he was not sorry "when coughing drowned the parson's saw." The preacher and the poet have never got on well together, and will not until they are identically the same person, as Cardinal Newman says; and they must not divide and antagonize what God have joined together—Theodore T. Munger in the February Atlantic. PREPARE THIS YOURSELF. Tells How to Make the Best Blood Tonic at Home. For those who have any form of blood disorders; who want new, rich blood and plenty of it, try this: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can supply the ingredients at small cost. This is the prescription which, when made up, is called "The Vegetable Treatment;" by others, the "Cyclone Blood Purifier." It acts gently and certainly does wonders for some people who are sickly, weak and out of sorts, and is known to relieve serious, long-standing cases of rheumatism and chronic backache quickly. Make some up and try it. Where It Hurt Most. "Young gentlemen," said the college president, notwithstanding the fact that he was addressing the students, "young gentlemen, hazing must be stopped and stopped at once. It has injured the college more than any of you ever could guess. Only last week a gentleman declined to give us $1,000,000 because there was so much hazing. Hazing is a bad thing financially." "How about morally?" asked the student. "Aw.aw, really, there may be something in that, but—aw—the—the point has never come up, and I—aw—am not prepared to answer. But the point is worth considering."—Chicago Journal. 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. Crisis Averted. The two men met, stopped and glared at each other. Then one of them spoke. "Rivers!" he said, "you are wrong! It's a lie! I haven't the grip!" "Brooks," impulsively exclaimed the other, "it's an infamous falsehood! It's a base slander! I don't know of any cure for the grip, and I wouldn't tell you of it if I did!" Then they solemnly shook hands and passed on. Defiance Starch is the latest invention in that line and an improvement on all other makes; it is more economical, does better work, takes less time.

Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema —Boy Tortured by Poison Oak—Both Cured by Cuticura. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Scap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905."

Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and Good Prices. Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906. Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian“Govern- ment Agent, Indianapolis, Ind. My Dear Sir: When you were at our place in July I promised to write you what my uorth quarter made per acre. You will remember it was all sown to wheat. Well, I finished threshing yesterday and received from it an average of 43% bushels per acre—testing 641% pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat is the best sample I have ever raised —so uniform and even in size. You may know it was a good sample when I tell you that I have already sold 2,000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors. ‘This year has been my best effort in farming during my life. My wheat totaled 9,280 bushels and my oats nearly 5,000. If you remember I pointed out to you a half section lying just west of our house and joining my upper quar. ter on the south, which I said I should have in order to make one of the best farms in western Canada. i am very glad to be able to tell you that I now ‘own that half section. My ambition now is to be able to market 20,000 bushels of wheat next year. If some of those good, honest Hoosiers could have beea with me during the last two ‘weeks and could have seen the golden grain rushing down the spout into my ‘wagon and then could have seen it in great piles in my granaries, i feel sure they would have been forced to acknowledge there is no better farm. ing country in the world than this. 1 may just say that I have done all my farming with eight head of horses and one hired man except during harvest and threshing. This year I proved to my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when once “woke up,” can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers. His best yield was 42% bushels per acre, so you see “old Indiana” is holding the ribbon this year. Yours very truly, N. E. BAUMINK.

HEREDITY 1S NOT ALL. Physicians Now Believe Less in Trans- mission of Disease. Medical men are coming round to the view that it is the personal his- tory that is of primary importance, or, in other words, that a man's own man- ner of life, his record of health, and his circumstances should be more carefully considered than the illnesses that his ancestors died of, Dr. Rabag- liati, a medical examiner for insurance companies, who is well known in the profession which he adorns, and of high repute in the north of England, has devoted much thought to this question of heredity from a life insur- ance point of view. In his opinion it is not so much disease that is trans- mitted from one generatioa to an- other, but organization, or “human- ity,” as he expresses it. Any member of the human family may suffer from any disease to which humanity is sub- ject, and when an individual so suffers it is the cause of the ailment that must be inquired into. Exposure to this or that set of conditions brings varying results. If the body is exposed to one set of conditions it will take on gout; if to another, consumption; if to a third, cancer; and so on.

COFFEE THRESHED HER. 415 Long Years. “For over fifteen years,” writes @ patient, hopeful little Ills. woman, “while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physi- cians, but did not get much relief. “I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was downhearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find some- thing to help me. “Several years ago while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Post- um and thought { had never tasted anything more delicious. “From that time on I used Postum instead of coffee, and soon began to improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or more with ease, and do many other things that I never thought Is would be able to do again in this world. “My appetite is good, I sleep well, and find life worth living, indeed. A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tasteless. “{ explained to her the difference when it is made right—boiled accord ing to directions.

SOME WIVES ARE DIFFERENT. Quiet Cynicism, or Good Honest Row —Which Is the Better? “Most men,” said the man of exper!- ence, “think it must be awfully nice to have a wife who takes things as coolly as Dave Potter's wife takes them; but others, more discriminat- ing, prefer a good honest row to her style of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she found a letter in Dave's pocket from a girl is an example of her method. ““T don't see,’ wrote this girl, ‘how on earth I can ever live without you.’ “Dave's wife read that gush, and a lot more just like it, without ever turn- ing a hair. “Well,” she said, quietly, ‘that girl is a fool. If she knew you as well as I do she would be wondering how on earth she could ever live with you.’ “And that, in the opinion of the dis: criminating few, cuts a whole lot deeper than a common, everyday rum: pus.” Besat of Berit, ‘The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects, and the volun- tary testimonials of those who have used Alleock’s Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority: and should convince the most skeptical. Self-praise is no recommendation, but certificates from those who have used them are. Allcock’s are the original and gen- uine porous plasters and have never been’ equaled by those who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them.

Remedies which physicians sanction for family use, as they act most beneficially and are gentle yet prompt in effect, and called ethical, because they are of \ Known Excellence and Quality and of Known Component Parts. e To gain the full confidence of the Well-Informed of the world and the approval of Y the most eminent physicians, it is essential that the component parts be known to and - approved by them, and, therefore, the California Fig Syrup Company has published for many years past in its advertisements and upon every package a full statement thereof. ‘The per- ! fect purity and uniformity of product which they demand in a laxative remedy of an ethical character are assured by the California Kig Syrup Company’s original method of manufacture, i known to the Company only. There are other ethical remedies approved by physicians, but the product of the California Fig Syrup Company possesses the advantage over all other family laxatives that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts, without disturbing the natural functions or any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. ‘This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs, and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of naturel laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs; and to get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co— plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs, or by the full name, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, as Syrup of Figs : and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Company, and the same heretofore known by the name, Syrup of Figs, which has given satisfaction to millions. ‘The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

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 boune ing boy about four months ago; there fore she must turn her attention tc her home and caring for her three children; but she sent her better-half, Mr, 8. W. Williams, to make the pur: chases 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 appre- ciate their efforts to please their many cusomers. They carry a large stock. and make a purchase of 9364.25 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 gen- tleman’s building worth from $10,000 to $12,000. Young Finney, who married one of our school teachers, Miss Nellie Wil. kerson, some time ago, has an office in this building, and has a large prac- tice. Would to God we had some of their amibtion in St Louis. The time fs now at hand that we want to pat- ronize our race-business which will give employment to our young edu- cated Negro men and women. ¥ 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 bafls, card playing and parading the streets from 8 o'clock to 12 and 1a. 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 wil make good hus- bands and good wives. Then the Ne- gro can say he has accomplished something. We doff our hats to Mr, and Mrs, Williams, Whitt Has Caused It and What Is the Remedy? At no time can a man of business (Color:d) approach a merchant and ask for an advertisement for a news: paper bat what he is almost insulted about what some other fellow has done. When we are allowed to ex- plain 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.
