He is one of the most active and astute politicians in the city of St. Louis or the state of Missouri. He has been active in public life for the past twenty years, not only in politics and talks, but in actions. He has ever been loyal to the principles of the G. O. P. Mr. Turner was sergeant-at-arms of the council for eight years, and during World's Fair in 1904 he was the Negro clerk in that vast gathering of the representation of the civil world; with a desk in the Art gallery under Prof. Halsey C. Ivens. Mr. Turner is well liked by the Negroes of this city and state and he demonstrated his ability as a public speaker in 1892 and 1894, also in 1896 when he is in company with J. W.

All of these offices Mr. Turner has filled with a credit to himself and to the party. He was formerly consulted in regard to the good of the race and his advice was held as sound judgment; and today he is considered as one of the leading politicians in the city and state, not only by his race, but by the leading business men and politicians of today. All speak well of him. He is a married man of family and a member of St. Paul Chapel, and is connected with many secret organizations. Mr. Turner has just returned from Jefferson City, Mo., where he has been for several days, doing what he could to prevent the Jim Crow bill being passed by the House. Thus he throws himself in the front, where he can be of service to the many of his race. JACKSON Booker T.

Mr. George Wright is the first to step off in March. He has taken his fair bride to a little town in Illinois. The Bostonial Whist Club was served with a delightful luncheon by Miss Clara Harris at the New Century Cafe, Wednesday evening, March 6.

The Bishop claims direct descent from an African king. As the story goes, his grandfather, when a mere boy, was stolen from his home in Africa and sold as a slave in Charleston, S. C. Although the African king sent many slaves as Notice! Notice!

An ADMISSION, 10c a ransom, the lad was never returned to him. While the young princeling was not restored to his native land, he was set free when this country was still under British rule, on the ground "that royal blood could not be enslaved." So the tradition goes which has been handed down in the family. Bishop Turner is noted as the apostle of the doctrine that the Negro must return to Africa.—Philadelphia Press.

A Paris doctor "has invented a serum that will stop gambling." Bridge whist cures guaranteed. If the women keep it up some of the men will begin to suspect after a while that they want to vote. Along with the revival of old-fashioned nightcaps it might be well to renew the early-to-bed habit. Will the new six-wheeled automobile run over 50 per cent. more people than the four-wheeled kind? There seems to be a widespread tendency to allow somebody else to make the dirt fly at Panama. Some of the people who think the naval display at Jamestown will be too warlike are uttering belligerent protests. Of course we want to communicate with Mars if possible. The Martians are great canal builders and we need their advice. Kaiser Wilhelm is going to visit Alfonso, perhaps for the purpose of telling that young man how to make a hit in politics. The rich are getting theirs at last. J. Pierpont Morgan's dogs did not capture all the prizes at the New York dog show. Cut pins out of your diet, urges the Newark Star. An authority says 10,000 microbes can dwell in comfort on the head of one. The Missouri newspaper man who has decided to quit newspaper work and enter the ministry will have smaller congregations after this. Ice cream is said to cause lockjaw, which makes it advisable for young men to cut out this paragraph and keep it in their pocketbook. There is a strong suspicion that Count Boni's threat of suicide is merely for publication, and not necessarily a guarantee of good faith. Northern people should not stop buying coal just because a Texas man predicts, that the world is to be consumed with fire in a few days. Chief Chemist Wiley announces that oysters are worthless if frozen. Dr. Wiley is to be thanked for not saying that oysters are not fit to eat anyhow. Dr. Mary Walker is only slightly wrong in saying that the scent of onions will keep disease germs out of a room. When the germs come in they lie down and die. A Maine company is now manufacturing turpentine from spruce pulp waste, which was formerly consigned to the dump, but North Carolina hasn't begun worrying as yet. A majority of the men and women of the United States will soon live in tenement houses, says a writer in the North American Review. Flats, we suppose, are getting too expensive. The privilege of blasting ice out of the Alpine glaciers, which the Swiss Cantons have accorded to the ice dealers over there, is enough to make the ice trust over there weep with envy. Andrew Carnegie says that it was his ambition in boyhood to become a reporter. It turned out all right anyway, as he made some money at the profession he finally selected.—Atlanta Georgian. Leopold, king of the Belgians, is the richest monarch in Europe, after the czar. Although his income from the state is but $1,700,000 a year, his business interests are so large and his incom from the Kongo Free State so great that it is estimated he gathers in quite $5,000,000 annually. Mayor Frank Mott, of Oakland, Cal., has achieved notoriety for having refused a position with a large corporation, at a salary of $15,000 a year, in order to remain the mayor of Oakland, which pays only $3,000 a year. He also disposed of his own business so as to have more time to give to city affairs. Joseph Lee, of Boston, gives $10,000 a year in charity among Boston children. Since his graduation from the Harvard law school as a young man, his hobby has been that of spending his money and doing good in the many ways in which only a devotee to the cause of public philanthropy can. Evidently Mohammed Ali Mirza has stuff in him. His energetic performance of snatching the big gold and jeweled crown from his head as soon as it was placed thereon and chucking it behind his peacock throne shows an energetic determination on his part to be comfortable and to reform royal headgear. Chief Appah of the Utes holds Commissioner Leupp responsible for everything. Being told that congress makes the laws, "If you let them make such a law you are no account in your job," exclaimed the old chief. Another trusted employee who stresses: "I haven't a cent left; all the money went to Wall street." As a fence, Wall street is all the candy. Count Boni de Castellane has appealed his divorce case.

Washington.—The following are the efforts made by the government to relieve the monetary situation: Order of Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou postponing the withdrawal of $30,000,000 of national deposits in banks, put in last October. A further order of Secretary Cortelyou that the $18,000,000 currency taken by national banks could be held without substituting federal for state bonds as security. The offer to redeem $25,000,000 4 per cent bonds, with interest to July 1. Bank President Optimistic. New York.—F. A. Vanderlip, head of the National City bank, said: "In spite of the great depreciation in prices, borrowers are able to keep margins good. Demoralization has been confined to the stock market. I see no signs of its extending elsewhere." President Not Changed Attitude. Washington.—The White House and treasury department have been flooded with appeals for President Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou to take some action to avert the "threatened disaster" in the financial and railroad world. It can be stated, authoritatively, however, that President Roosevelt will not change his attitude toward the railroads, though it is admitted that the administration has no intention of entering on an extremely radical attack on the railway corporations. "Panic" Follows Morgan's Visit. It is known that the visit of J. Pierpont Morgan to the White House, to induce the president to issue a reassuring statement to the country in regard to the administration's attitude toward the railroads, and the apparent failure of the financier's appeal has had much to do with the panicky conditions that swept over Wali street. President May Issue Statement. While it has not been definitely decided, the president may issue a statement outlining his attitude, after he has conferred with Presidents McCrea, Newman, Mellen and Hughfitt, on the railroad situation. The conference with the four railroad magnates, which was granted by the president, at the earnest request of Mr. Morgan, will be held in a few days. It is generally understood by those close to the president that the railway officials will urge Mr. Roosevelt to take some steps to "allay the public anxiety now threatening to obstruct railroad investments and construction, and as to the relations between the railroads and the government." HARD THUMPS IN WALL STREET. Leading Industrials Make New Low Records for Years. New York.—Under the effect of 25 per cent money, and a generally pessimistic sentiment, developed as a result of the recent heavy decline, trading on the stock exchange reached a stage bordering on actual panic. New low records for the year, and in some instances for several years, were established in the active speculative issues under precipitate selling, with the market apparently without buying orders other than those of the bears to cover their short contracts and realize their profits. The closing quotations showed the following declines in leading shares: Amalgamated Copper, $17\%$; American Smelting, $16\%$; St. Paul, $13\%$; Consolidated Gas, 7; Delaware & Hudson, $19\%$; General Electric, $9\%$; Great Northern, $5\%$; Minneapolis, St. Paul & Saule Ste. Marie, $6\%$; Missouri Pacific, $7\%$; National Lead, $12\%$; New York Central, 6; Norfolk & Western, $7\%$; Northern Pacific, 8; Pennsylvania railroad, $6\%$; Reading, $20\%$; Southern Pacific, $5\%$; Union Pacific, $20\%$; United States Steel, $13\%$. JAPS IN FRISCO SCHOOLS. The Bars Having Been Removed, They Are Admitted. San Francisco.—The admission of Japanese children followed the action of the board of education, rescinding the resolution which barred Japanese pupils from the schools. In accordance with instructions from Washington, U. S. Attorney Devlin had a formal order of dismissal of the Japanese cases entered. Similar action was taken in state supreme court. Provisions of the Immigration Bill Put Into Force. Washington. — President. Roosevelt has issued an executive order directing that Japanese or Korean laborers, skilled or unskilled, who have received passports to go to Mexico, Canada or Hawaii, and to come therefrom, be refused permission to enter the continental territory of the United States. This is practically the final chapter in the California case. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE N. W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves. Open Day and Night.

The house Monday passed the bill jointly introduced by Representatives Sartin and Swiers appropriating $1,000,000 from the state revenue fund for the ensuing biennial period of 1907-08 for good roads. The house took up the senate's resolution fixing March 15 as the date for the sine die adjournment of the legislature and amended it so as to fix the date for March 16, at noon. Representative Porth's bills appropriating $2,000 each to the families of the late John A. Clay, James Wood and Ephraim Allison, penitentiary guards, who were killed in the sensational riot at the big prison in November, 1905, when four convicts attempted to escape by blowing the prison with nitro-glycerin, passed the house Monday. Representative Barker's bill in relation to coal mines passed the house. It makes it unlawful for mines which have been worked on the room and pillar plan, and which have been abandoned, to be left open for a period exceeding one month, and requires such abandoned mines to be so sealed as to prevent escape of gases calculated to vitiate the ventilative current of a mine. An effort was made in the house to secure a reconsideration of the vote by which the conference report extending the fellow-servant bill to all underground miners failed of passage. It was unsuccessful. Tuesday is the last day for which the members of the general assembly will receive $5 for their services as legislators, the constitutional limit of seventy days expiring with it. Thereafter they receive but $1 per day. The compensation of the clerks and employees is not reduced. The house Monday passed a bill repealing the statute creating the office of supervisor of roads and road overseers in counties containing 120,000 and less than 175,000 inhabitants. The senate bill, providing for the machinery to put into operation the pure food bill, passed the house Monday, receiving 86 votes. The bill providing for a special charter for Joplin and Springfield received scarcely votes enough in the house to have it said that it was recognized. Seventy-two votes were required to pass it. It received thirty-five. It was stated Monday on fairly good authority that the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Co. is quietly preparing to enjoin the enforcement of the 2cent rate law passed by this general assembly, which has been signed by the governor, and which will go no effect as a part of the statutory law of Missouri on the expiration of ninety days after the sine die adjournment of the general assembly. HOUSE. The house Monday appropriated $200 for the relief of ex-Sheriff Reese of Taney county. An interesting little story is connected with this bill, introduced by Representative Depuy, who dropped dead a few days later. In 1903 Henry Barchman was assassinated in Taney county, and Wes Hudson, charged with the crime, fled. Gov. Folk offered a reward of $200 for his arrest and conviction. Hudson was captured at Little Rock, Ark., but the authorities there refused to deliver the prisoner to Reese unless the reward was first paid. Reese paid over the $200 and brought Hudson back. Hudson, on change of venue, was tried in Some county and was acquitted. Reese was out his money, as the reward was conditional upon a conviction. Monday the bill was passed reimbursing him. Other claims of a kindred character, aggregating $849.71, were also passed. The house was almost riotous in its disorder over the consideration of the bill to extend the powers of the state board of examiners for barbers by bringing under its supervision barbers' schools and colleges and requiring all applicants for barbers' licenses to have attended such a school for at least two years. Representative Hill moved that the bill be declared one to protect the country youth from the oppression of tonsorial artists. Representative Conran moved that further consideration of the bill be indefinitely postponed. This was lost, and the bill was passed with three votes to spare. It was clearly defeated, but the St. Louis members got busy and secured changes enough to "put it over the plate." The house took another whirl at appropriation bills Monday and passed measures providing for the expenditure of sums approximately aggregating $7,000,000. Among these bills was one paying to Dr. George Homan of St Louis $7,000. This claim has been The short-distance talker and the long-distance talker both had innings Thursday, the appropriations bills being up for engrossment. So much time was consumed in oratory, in fact, that speaker Atkinson announced that latterly the five-minute rule would be enforced. The senate finally passed the house conference committee report on the bill of Senator Bradley applying the provisions and the principles of the general fellow-servant law in operation in this state to the operators of All states. outstanding for eighteen years, and was last presented to the legislature in 1893, when its payment was refused. Dr. Homan was secretary to the state board of health under the Marmaduke administration, and the sum allowed today has been due him since that time. Among the other bills passed was the deficiencies appropriations, carrying $164,234.48; the bill for the support of the government, carrying $3,484,397.72, and another carrying $4,000 for the payment of wolf bounties from 1895 to 1909. Besides these there is the $1,000,000 appropriated for good roads, and several relief bills, aggregating $6,173.35. Appropriations - which have been made by the general assembly exceed the revenues of the state for the ensuing biennial period, as estimated by the auditor's department, leaving a deficit of $777,787.61, which may possibly go to $1,000,000. In a statement sent to the senate Monday afternoon by Auditor Wilder, which embodies a carefully prepared estimate of the revenues, the auditor says that "the estimate does not, to my knowledge, hold one dollar in reserve for any contingency, and if the appropriations are made up to the full limit of the state revenues, herein given, there will be times in the summer months when the state will not be able to promptly meet the demands made upon the treasury." SENATE. The agitation of the question of abolishing the convict contract system in the Missouri penitentiary has become so strong that the senate has taken steps to make an investigation of the matter. In pursuance of this idea, Senator Cooper Monday afternoon introduced a resolution in the senate providing for the appointment of Senators McDavid, Bradley and Eads a special committee to visit all of the states that have done away with the leasing system and report to the next general assembly the result of their observations and the suggestion of a practical plan for the employment of the convicts. The resolution provides that the expense of the investigation shall be borne by the state. The resolution went over until tomorrow, under the rules. The senate made record time in disposing of four of the general appropriation bills. One of these was the formal act setting aside one-third of the revenue of the current biennial period for the public schools. The other appropriation bills were: For pay of the civil officers, $587,200; collecting the revenue, $400,000; interest on school certificates, $501,023.93. Total, $1,488,223.93. The senate did not consume more than fifty minutes in the disposition of this million and a half dollars, both in committee of the whole and in the senate proper. Forty-one measures were disposed of one way or another in the session lasting from 2 to 6 this afternoon. A night session was only avoided by the fact that there was to be a conference of the democratic senators on pending legislation. The senate Monday afternoon defeated the Dorris joint and concurrent resolution submitting an amendment to the constitution providing a way by which all cities in the state of 20,000 population could reach that end. The vote was 11 for and 15 against. Then the senate defeated the bill introduced by Senator Anthony, providing that the manager or a director of any public service corporation is ineligible to hold the office of mayor of a municipal or be a member of the council. This was laid out by a vote of 10 to 17. Senator Dorris' resolution, submitting an amendment to the constitution providing for municipal ownership of public utilities in all cities in the state of over 20,000 in population, was ordered engrossed and printed. Senator Peck tried to get up senate joint and concurrent resolution No. 10, the prohibition resolution, for engrossment Thursday morning, and Senator Bauman of St. Louis was promptly on the floor with a demand for the regular order of business. This, of course, prevailed, and Senator Peck's innocent looking little resolution, which is liable to create a ruction at any hour before this session is finally ended, remains in its regular place on the calendar. A joint and concurrent resolution introduced by Mr. Hayman submitting an amendment to the constitution authorizing cities of 3,000 inhabitants and under 40,000 to extend their bonded indebtedness 5 per cent to aid in the construction of interurban electric railways, was passed in the senate. Senator Cooper's compulsory primary law, applying only to Jackson county, was passed in the senate, which body also took up and passed the house bill introduced by Mr. Simmons of Shelby providing for the nomination of candidates for United States senator at the general election to be held in 1908. The senate also passed the joint and concurrent resolution necessary for the state to signify its acceptance of a gift of the general government to the state agricultural college of $40,000. It required some exceedingly swift work on the part of several farmer senators to secure the passage of the house bill, introduced by Mr. Brassfield, of Putnam, imposing a tax of $1 a head on male dogs and $2 on female dogs, the tax to be collected as other taxes, and even under more severe penalties, and constitute a fund for reimbursing farmers whose flocks suffer from raids by dogs. Senators Wornall and Hayman assumed the championship of the bill, and Senators Bradley and Buford bent their energies to defeat it R. J. RAYMOND, Attorney - at - Law, IIII'Clark Ave., St. Louis, Mo.

Washington, March 15.—The weather bureau has issued the following flood bulletin: "The second great Ohio river flood of the year is now in progress, and above the mouth of the Little Kanaa wha river the stages will be from 8 to 11 feet higher than during the flood of January. At Pittsburg Thursday night the river stood at 34.5 feet, 12. above the flood stage, and only 0.5 feet below the great high water stage of 1832. As the river is still rising, it is probable that this stage of 35 feet will be closely approximated and probably exceeded before the river begins to fall. At Wheeling a stage of 48 feet, 12 feet above the flood stage, is indicated by Friday afternoon or evening, and the same at Parkersburg, flood stage at the latter place being at 35 feet. Stages are indicated at other places as follows: Marietta, 47 feet; Cincinnati, 60 feet, 10 feet above flood stage; Friday and Friday night; Madison, 52 to 53, and Louisville, 35 feet on Saturday, 6 and 7 feet, respectively above flood stages; Evansville, 40 feet Friday or Friday night, and possibly 44 feet during Saturday, flood stage being at 35 feet; Wabash, river at Mount Carmel, Ill., 20 feet, 5 feet above flood stage."

Burton, now serving a six months' sentence in the Ironton (Mo.) jail, limon says that he considers reliable a report from Washington that he must stay in jail another month unless he pays his fine of $2,500. He says that as he has no money with when to pay, and does not want to borrow it, he probably will remain in Ironton until April 21. His six months' sentence, good behavior considered, would have ended on March 21. AMERICAN VILLAGE CYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA VOL. I A. AUD VOL. II AUD. CAN VOL. III CAN. DAN VOL. IV DAN. FRA VOL.

Divorces are, happily, rare in society circles. Separation by mutual consent, however, grows more frequent every year. Every one has upon his or her visiting list husbands and wives who never meet if they can help ft, but between whom there has never been an open breach. Incompatibility of temper is the usual cause, and the reason for that is, one imagines, the still common custom of encouraging the younger generation to marry before they have begun to approach years of discretion.—London Throne. PE-RU-NA FOR CATARRH OF THE HEAD, THROAT, LUNGS, STOMACH KIDNEYS BLADDER AND FEMALE ORGANS. W. A. Mitchell, dealer in general merchandise, Martin, Ga., writes: "My wife lost in weight from 130 to 68 pounds. We saw she could not live long. She was a skeleton, so we consulted an old physician. He told her to try Peruna. "She gradually commenced improving and getting a little strength. She now weighs 106 pounds. She is gaining every day, and does her own housework and cooking."

Rolla.—Word has been received in Rolla of the death of Miss Willa C. Ray, daughter of William and Martha E. Ray, of near Beulah, in Texas county, which occurred at the home of her sister, Mrs. Frank Reynolds, in Licking, as the result of an injury received some ten days ago by having a pair of scissors stuck in her arm. At the time of the injury Miss Ray had been scrubbing the room, when her 10-year old brother came into the room, tracking dirt over the clean floor. Their parents were not at home, and Miss Ray chastised her brother for his act, which made him angry, and he threw a pair of scissors at her, the point striking her in the wrist and severing an artery. White Oak Growing Scarce. St. Louis-The National Cooper's association held its annual convention here. The association discussed pessimistically an impending calamity which no one knows how to ward off. This is nothing less than the threatened exhaustion of the supply of white oak, no adequate substitute for which has yet been found for making certain casks. The white oak tree must be 150 years old before it is of use to the cooper's. Students Expelled For Hazing Mexico—Twenty-three cadets of the Missouri Military academy, many of them members of prominent families have been expelled from the academy for hazing Cadet Czane, of Peoria, Ill Czane, who is 16 years old, was seized by his fellow students and thrown into the icy water of the lake on the campus, and he narrowly escaped drowning. Editor McJimsey's Father Dead. Chillicothe—Joseph E. McJimsey, one of Chillicothe's oldest citizens, died at his home in this city of pleuroneumonia. He was 83 years old. His death was sudden, he having been ill but four days. He was the father of E. E. E. McJimsey, editor of the Springfield (Mo.) Republican. The body was shipped to Maryville for interment. Declines St. Louis Invitation Washington—President Roosevelt has declined the invitation of the Business Men's League of St. Louis to visit that city on his trip to the middle west in May. He felt compelled to do so on account of so many other invitations he had declined. In justice to these other cities, he said he could do nothing but decline. Hit By Lightning Fourth Time. Monroe City.—St. Stephen's Catholic church at Indian creek, five miles southwest of this place, was struck by lightning and burned. It was the oldest church in Monroe county. The church was destroyed by a cyclone in 1876 and three times since it was struck by lightning. Purchased 12,000 Acres. Springfield—Jacob S. Speer, of this city, has entered 12,000 acres of land in Ozark county at the United States land office here, paying $15,000 for the tracts. All of the land is in four townships in Ozark county. Deaths at Chillicothe Chillicothe—Mrs. George Schmatz, a resident of this city 40 years; Clark Wells, a prominent citizen, at his home, of a stroke of paralysis; Miss Nettie Lightner, who shot herself, died of her wounds. Heavy Rain at Springfield. Springfield—This city and vicinity was visited by a terrific thunderstorm. The rainfall amounted almost to a cloudburst, in some localities four inches of water being reported. Head of Wholesale Firm Dead. Kansas City—James K. Burnham, head of a large wholesale dry goods firm here, and formerly of Detroit, where he retained large financial interests, died here, aged 64. Blown to Atoms Joplin—John Turrell, a "powder monkey" employed at the Davey No. 2 mine at Prosperity, nine miles east of Joplin, was blown to atoms by an explosion of powder. Criticised Marriage Laws. St. Louis—A circuit court judge criticised the laws of Missouri which permits children to marry in annulling the wedding of 15-year-old Kathless Mitchell.

St. Louis—William Desmond, for 12 years a member of the police force, 12 years chief of detectives, has re-ceived from the force LESSON TEXT.—Genesis 27:15-23, 41-45. Memory verse, 22. GOLDEN TEXT "Lying lips are an deal, truly are a big delight." Prox. 12-22 TIME.-According to Biblical margin Esau sold his birthright about 1855 B. C., 16 years after the death of Abraham, and Jacob gained possession of it 25 years later B. C. 1780. PLACE.-Jacob's early home was at Beersheba. He fled far to the north to Sharon, head of the kingdom. GUPTIRA 'REFERENCES'-Esau despipping his birthright; Heb. 12:16, 17. Jacob chosen instead of Esau: Rom. 9:7-14; Mal. 1:2; Obadiah 17:19; Jer. 49.8. Our birthright: Rom. 8:14-17; John 3:16. Rev. 22:1-5. Selling our birthright: Matt. 16:26; 19:16; 27:3-8; Mark 8:37; Rev. 18:3. Committal to Two Brothers.—The two brothers were twins, but Esau was the elder. They were born and reared at Beersheba. They were as different from one another as Isaac and Rebekah, but with a difference. Esau, in whom Rebekah's nature was emphasized, was the favorite of Isaac, while Jacob, who grafted the shrewdness and business sharpness of his mother's family upon the home-loving and religious and thoughtful nature of his father, was the favorite of Rebekah. Esau failed because, though brought up in a religious atmosphere, he chose to go with bad companions and marry heathen wives. His fatal steps were not the passionate impulse of a moment. "No man sells his birthright on the spot. He who sells his birthright sells it many times in his heart before he takes it openly to the market. He belittles it and despises it and cheapens it, at any rate to himself, before he sells it so cheaply to another." So "Esau had hunted for years with the brothers of Judith and Bashemath. He had eaten and drunken and danced with the Hittite inhabitants of the land. He had sacrificed and sworn and vowed to their false gods of the fields and the streams and of the unclean groves—till at last, in open defiance of all decency and religion, he brought home two, Canaanite wives to his father's covenanted camp."—Alexander Whyte. Jacob's career was a growth and development. We see his choice of the better things gradually overcoming his faults and imperfections. His progress is slow and difficult, with zigzag motions, with reactions, like the chilly days and snowstorms of spring, but it is moving on toward the summer harvests and autumn fruits. The Birthright.—"The first-born is the head of the patriarchal family, and the right of the first-born includes the representative privileges derived from this exalted position."—Deltitz. "Esau was, by right of birth, the head of the family, its prophet, priest, and king; and no man can renounce such privileges, except as a sacrifice required by God, without 'despising' God, who gave them. But more than this: he was the head of the chosen family; on him devolved the blessing of Abraham that, 'in his seed all families of the earth should be blessed'; and, in despising his birthright, he put himself out of the sacred family, and so became a 'profane person.' His sin must not be overlooked in our indignation at the fraud of Jacob, which, as we shall see presently, brought its own retribution as well as its own gain."—Wm. Smith. The crafty Jacob, instead of sharing his meal with the brother, who had, doubtless, often given him venison, drove a hard bargain, and Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. And knowing well Esau's fickleness, Jacob made him take a solemn oath, "I am dying of hunger," said the elder brother with characteristic exaggeration, "and what is a birthright to me?" Our Birthright—As children of God we all have a birthright far more valuable than Jacob or Esau could dream of. We have promises beyond the range of their highest imaginations. "The child in a Christian home has for his birthright the Sabbath day, and the Lord's table, and the society of the best people in the city, and first a youthhood, and then a manhood, of purity and piety and the service of Christ in His church: 'A birthright of trust and honesty and honor and chastity.'"—Alexander Whyte. We are heirs of God, of his character, his love and care, his heavenly home, his joy and peace. Our souls may be temples of the Holy Ghost, full of "the desirable things of all nations." We have an "inheritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away"; "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Selling Our Birthright—Many a man sells his birthright for a mess of portage,—his character, his conscience, his usefulness, heaven itself, for pride, for worldly gain, for honor, for pleasure. Practical Points. Never sell your birthright for any inducement whatever, nor make light of religious things, or conscience, or righteousness. Never do wrong that good may come. Never do right things in a wrong way; not even gain your rights by any kind of fraud or deceit; never seek to promote a good cause by the devil's methods: "Overcome evil with good." Otherwise your cup that God made to run over with joy will be mingled with sorrows unnumbered. CASE OF BEFORE AND AFTER. Or, What Happens to Voters Who Bother Congressmen. "Certainly, old man," said the candidate, as he slapped the voter on the back, "you see that the boys send me to Washington and then come down and look for an office." So in due time the candidate reached congress and the voter arrived with his card. "I have come down to look for an office," announced the voter. "Oh, you are looking for an office," exclaimed the congressman, as he glanced up from a mountain of documents. "Well, my dear man, what kind of an office are you looking for? The post office, the patent office, the weather office, the—" "No, I—" "Oh, well, sir, if it is none of those offices I really haven't the time to direct you. In fact, sir, I would have you understand that I am no guide to Washington, anyway. Go out and ask a policeman." And then the busy congressman closed the door and proceeded to forget the voter until election day.—Chicago Dally News. CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly; but it did her a sight of good. Then we complied with the instructions in using the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. God bless you for the sake of suffering humanity. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906." MADE HIS MEANING PLAIN. Indian's Answer a Real Triumph of Quiet Sarcasm. George Vaux, Jr., of Philadelphia, has been appointed a member of the board of Indian commissioners. Mr. Vaux told a reporter the other day an Indian story. "There was a certain commissioner," he said, "who treated the Indians with rude scorn. One day a chief entertained this man in his tepee, telling him over the tobacco many quaint legends. "One legend concerned a plague of grasshoppers. The chief told eloquently how grasshoppers overran the land, eating the grain, and how the medicine men averted a famine by offering a silver grasshopper to the Great Spirit, whereupon all that deluge of grasshoppers disappeared. "But the commissioner scoffed at "But the commissioner scoffed at the tale. "Are you Indians such fools," he said, "as to believe such rubbish?" "O, no," the chief, gravely, 'or we'd long ago have offered the Great Spirit a silver pale face.'"—Milwaukee Sentinel. His Coveted Sensation "There is one feeling I sure would like to have before I die," said the thoughtful young man as he looked up from the magazine story he was reading. "And what is that?" asked his companion, who sat looking out of the club window. "I should like to feel a 'berserk rage,' whatever that is, that all these novel heroes have when things go wrong with the heroine. But perhaps," he sighed drearily, "I shouldn't know it if I had it. I might think it was hives, or indigestion, or epilepsy coming over me. It's an awful thing not to have an education."—Judge. THE WHOLE FAMILY. Mother Finds a Food for Grown-Ups and Children as Well. Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children as well as the older members of the family, makes a pleasant household commodity. Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not only agrees with and builds up children, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, have become dyspeptic. A Phila. lady, after being benefited herself persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: "About eight years ago I had a severe attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on, I had to be careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me, seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heavier than I ever was. "My husband was also in a bad condition—his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything with comfort. I got him to try Grape-nuts, and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared. "My girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old, do not want anything else for breakfast but Grape-Nuts, and more healthy children cannot be found." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich.

Had No Idea of Going There to Do the Cannibal Act. An officer of the army tells how Maj. Whipple of the Second Massachusetts regiment, a veteran of the civil war, hastened to Washington when the Spanish war broke out and offered his services to President McKinley. But all officers, as well as men, had to undergo a physical examination, and it was stated to Maj. Whipple that he would have to place himself in the hands of the examining doctors at Worcester. Now, Maj. Whipple, while a man of great bodily strength and perfect health and activity, was a little deficient in the matter of teeth. An examining surgeon proposed to exclude him on that account. Whereupon the major waxed wroth. "Gentlemen," said he, "I'm going to Cuba to shoot Spaniards, not to eat 'em!" The major went.—Harper's Weekly. Gives Simple Home Prescription and Directions to Use. A well-known specialist is authority that Kidney and Bladder Troubles of all kinds are in nearly every instance readily relieved by taking a few doses of the following simple home-made mixture: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. The dose is a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. These ingredients can be obtained at any good pharmacy, and are mixed by shaking well in a bottle. Victims of Kidney, Bladder and Urinary diseases of any kind should not hesitate to make this prescription up and try it. It comes highly recommended and doesn't cost much to prepare. High Prices Paid for Pets. A spinster with money to burn recently paid $5,000 for a bulldog. A man in Massachusetts has just bought a cow for $8,000. Walter Garvey has a hog for which he refused a cash offer of $4,000. James Keene refused $200,000 for Sysonby, a race horse. There are several roosters of fashionable blood priced as high as $800 each. You can buy a fine lion for $300 and a tiger for $700. By and by we shall have a craze for breeding fishes, and a fine male salmon, educated to pond life, might be worth $1,000. The $8,000 cow has one calf a year, worth $4,000. The female salmon may become the mother of 300,000 little fellows in the same time, worth in the aggregate, possibly, as much as the calf.—N. Y. Press. Worth Knowing About: If you need a first-class laxative, there is nothing better nor safer than that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable products, make it a blood purifier of excellent character. If you are troubled with constipation, one pill at night will afford great relief. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used. They have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated. Organizing Booth Revival.

[National Lead & Oil Co.] Never Overlooked a Chance. When Bishop Talbot, now of the central Pennsylvania diocese, was "the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and Wyoming he never overlooked an opportunity of securing contributions for the missionary work in which he took such delight. On one occasion, while attending a meeting of church dignitaries in St. Paul, he was chatting with some other clergymen on the steps of his hotel when several boes came along. One of them approached and asked for aid. Bishop Talbot took him aside and after a short but earnest conversation the other tramps saw something pass from hand to hand. "What did he give you?" asked the other hoobes when they all started away. "Didn't give me nothing," was the disgusted reply. "I gave him a dollar for his blamed new cathedral in Laramile."

GENERAL BREAKDOWN A Condition Which Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the Great Blood Tonic, Have Been Curing for Years. There is no more perplexing trouble for a physician to treat than debility cases, especially in women, in which there is no acute disease but in which the patient every day sinks lower and lower despite changes of medicine and similar experiments. That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will restore health under these conditions is no speculation but the fact has been proved in hundreds of cases similar to that of Mrs. Sarah Ramsey, of St. John St. Litchfield, Ill. She says "For a number of years I was under a doctor's care but seemed to get no better. I had heard about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I began to take them. I soon felt better and gained in weight and strength. My nerves are strong now and I am a well woman in every way."

Booklet of valuable information, entitled "Plain Talks to Women," sent free on request. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD Trustees of Christian Endeavor Society Make Important Changes. The trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor have adopted two new alternative forms of the Endeavor pledge for active members. The first of these reads as follows: "Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength, I promise him that I will strive to do whatever he would like to have me do. I will make it the rule of my life to pray and to read the Bible, to support the work and worship of my church, and to take my part in the meetings and other activities of this society. These things I will do unless hindered by conscious reasons; and in them all I will seek the Saviour's guidance." The second form is the same as the foregoing with the addition of another sentence interposed between the second and third sentences of the above. This reads as follows: "I will seek to bring others to Christ, to give as I can for the spread of the kingdom, to advance my country's welfare, and to promote the Christian brotherhood of man." Government is the lamp. Public opinion is the oil. Leadership is the light. The mystery of the combustion belongs to God. WONDERFUL KOREAN CHURCH. Progress of Native Christians Proves Most Remarkable. Our missionaries in Korea protest against the common newspaper references to that country as "decadent." They pertinently inquire whether "militant" Japan or "literary" China can show such a record of Christian activity, intelligence and success as that which has been given the world by the Presbyterian church at Pyeng Yang. This church, with a regular Sunday attendance of from 1,000 to 1,200, a membership of 1,435 and five suburban shooots, each managed independently since February last, recently canvassed the large city in which it is located and carried a gospel invitation to every individual citizen. It is not only self-supporting, but it plants its numerous missions, and is but one of a presbytery in which 27 out of 52 church buildings have been enlarged during the year, while in the same bounds 18 wholly new edifices have been erected. For every dollar of board money used in the Korean work, the Koreans contributed over $8 last year. The difference between education and learning is that you can lose the latter but never the former. NEW HEBRIDES MISSION. Blendid Activity and Growth Among Native Christians. The Presbyterian mission in the New Hebrides reports the number of the communicants at 3,500, of which 41 were admitted to church membership during the past year. The natives paid over $3,600 in cash and over 7,000 pounds in arrowroot. "Seventeen young men have gone to the training institution at Tangoa and 23 teachers have been settled at different stations; besides these, a goodly number of unpaid volunteer workers have done splendid service among the outlying tribes. The progress at some of the stations has been very great. Still in several islands the difficulties are enormous, largely arising from intoxicating drink. War and strife also continue to hinder the progress of the gospel in several islands. An example of this is furnished by the missionary at South Santo, who reports 12 murders and three cases of cannibalism since the first part of 1906." A man never masters others until he has mastered his own appetites. New Medical Mission. A new medical mission has been started in Parbhani, in the Nizan's country, western India, by the United Free Church of Scotland. The Murray Mitchell hospital and dispensary buildings are to be erected at this place. Regular bazaar preaching is being conducted daily, and there has been an eager demand for copies of the gospels, both in Urdu and Marathi. No other Protestant mission has work in the city and the missionaries are much encouraged by the outlook. Many of our pains come from plucking joys before they are ripe. Eagle at Shanghai Opened. The Anglo-Chinese college at Shanghai, China, has opened well, 175 pupils being admitted and nearly an equal number were turned away. Rev. J. W. Cline, the president, writes: "It is hard to say how many pupils we might have if we only had sufficient room and teaching force. We had 240 pupils in Sunday school yesterday, and the college chapel was full for preaching." Forty Years of Good Work.

In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. The importance of the world's dairy industries is attested by the fact that they warrant the calling of international congresses for discussion of the best methods of dairy conduct, the third of these having just been announced for convention at The Hague, during September of next year.

Lindley Murray, the grammarian, a native of Pennsylvania, who died in 1826, had views of life that were quite as correct as his principles of English grammar. He wrote: "I was persuaded that a truly sincere mind could be at no loss to discern the just limits between a safe and competent portion and a dangerous profusion of the good things of life. These views of the subject I reduced to practice, and terminated my mercantile concerns when I had acquired a moderate competency." 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. Warned by Fish. Many anglers have great faith in fish as weather prophets. If a storm is approaching, they say, the fish stop biting, and they won't bite again until the storm is past. They also foretell the near approach of cold weather. Hours before it comes fish leave the shallow waters in-shore and seek deeper water, which, owing to its depth, will stay warm and keep an equable temperature after the shallower and surface waters are cold.

There is an extraordinary plan on foot to raise $2,000 in a general financial rally on the fourth Sunday in April, which, if properly carried out, will go down in history as being the greatest thing that ever happened there. The plan is this: The church has been divided into ten clubs. Each club has a captain, whose business is to devise ways and means to raise $200 each. In order to do that they have planned to give sociables, suppers and various entertainments at their homes and halls throughout the city. Hence they have appealed to their friends and the public at large to attend these entertainments and help this worthy cause as much as possible. It is hoped that each club will have a success. The church is getting along splendidly at present, but there is still room for improvement. Hence it would be advisable for the members to lay aside (if there be any) all differences, likes and dislikes, and come together and love each other as they have never loved before. If this were done the $12,000 debt on the church would be paid off in short order. Rev. R. H. Cole preached two splendid sermons last Sunday. Were you at either? If not, try to be out next Sunday. Members, why don't you send your children to the Sunday school at 9 a. am, and Young People's Union at 5:30 p. m.? Remember, this is your duty, and those of you who fail to look after your children now will be sorry for it in the future. Deacon Henry Johnson, an influential member of the church, who had been blind and sick, too, for the last four years, died last week and was buried Saturday. He was a faithful Christian gentleman, hence it is certain that he is at rest with Our Reederem. He leaves a dear wife to mourn his loss. The district meeting of the B. Y. P. U. will convene at Pleasant Green church, Fourtheen and Morgan streets next Sunday at 3 p. m. The public is cordially invited. A. B. Captain C. H. Tandy is one of the most effective speakers in this state and is one of the most conspicuous men now before the public. His name is a household word, and it will be hard for him to think of any other but the G. O. P. He may dislike men on account of their bad faith to the Negroes, but the fundamental principles that underlie the Grand Old Party are always uppermost in his mind. He will be heard in the city campaign this spring.

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 ($4,000) for it. The Masonic Order of Missouri also bought a home and farm in Hannibal, Mo., for old Masons. The U. B.
