Allen Secures Liberal Appropriation for Maintenance Appropriations for maintenance. $59,800 or practically, $60,000 is the liberal appropriation which President Allen has been able to secure from the 44th General Assembly of Missouri, for the maintenance for the ensuing years. Of this amount $2,000 is to be devoted to the increased facilities for the Agricultural Department, one of the most important of the numerous industrial features of the institution. The already large and well selected library is well provided for by a special clause in the appropriation and the usual amount has been listed for the summer school conducted annually in the institution, and one of the strongest and best of this class of schools in the country, exclusively for Negroes. By means of this summer term, Lincoln Institute approximates continuous sessions, and presents many advantages to teachers who desire better positions with increase of salary. Active preparations for commencement session, inaugurated in May by the closing exercises of the model school and lasting until the middle of June, have already begun. All classes this year are unusually large and the exercises promise to be of more than ordinary interest. "The Ascent of Fool's Hill," a lecture given March 29, by Reverend Dr. U. G.

"Men will go to hell for a woman," says Dr. Madison C. Peters. Foolish men—they can get better ones on earth. The bishop of London says married men are braver than bachelors. Of course they are. There wouldn't be any bachelors if every man had a proper amount of grit. A dog catcher's automobile is the latest civic improvement proposed for St. Louis. Imagine such a chase over the course usually taken by a canine fugitive—St. Louis Republic. A real sensational and scientific observation is that made by Chancellor Day of Syracuse, who has discovered that the reason people are poor is that they haven't made enough money. President Roosevelt wants to make war on the opium trade, but Britain would prefer to get excited over the alleged cruelties in the Kongo or some other spot from which it is not drawing profit. About $60,000,000 is at present invested in England in the manufacture of motor wagons. About 250,000 men are employed in them, or as chauffeurs, etc., and their wages aggregate $75,000,000 a year. At Hoboken, N. J., a few days ago a German woman who cannot speak English was married to an Englishman who cannot speak German. It will be extremely discouraging if they don't get along well. Prof. Shailer Mathews declares that, contrary to general belief, marriage is no picnic. That, of course, depends on the meaning you inject into the word picnic when you offer it as a good description of the married state. For over a thousand years and without perfuming the mosque of St. Sofa in Constantinople has retained its fragrant odor of musk. The reason for this is that when the mosque was built musk was mixed with the mortar. It must be disconcerting to President Zelaya of Nicaragua that after he has hurled a violently worded proclamation at Honduras, Guatemala and Salvador, the three allies quickly recover and go right on fighting his little army. This is almost impertinence. Disappearing paper is a novelty for use by those whose correspondents forget to burn the letters after their utility has ceased. It is steeped in sulphuric acid, dried and glazed, the acid being partly neutralized by ammonia vapor. It falls to pieces after a given time. "Columbus," says a Chicago anti- quary in Chicago Journal, "got a salary of $220 a year—less than one dollar a day. His captains got $180 a year each. His crew got $2.25 a month. To equip the expedition that discovered America cost $2,800. The total cost of discovering America was $7,200." In central Tennessee are large tracts of cedar, the berries of which serve to attain myriads of robins in the winter. One small hamlet in this region sends to market annually enough robins to return $500 at five cents per dozen, equal to 120,000 birds. They are killed at night by torchlight with sticks. Emperor William did a neat thing when he carried a bouquet of roses and lilacs to Mrs. Tower, wife of the American ambassador, and called for the children, whom he engaged in friendly conversation. In fact, the emperor has a way of doing neat things occasionally. If he were an American he would probably shine in politics. Great Britain and her colonies and the United States represent together the fabulous total of 111,000,000 English-speaking persons, figures which leave all competitors hopelessly in the rear. Germany and Russia occupy second place with 75,000,000 apiece, and France, Spain, Italy and Portugal follow, with 51,000,000, 43,000,000, 33,000,000 and 13,000,000 respectively. Indications encourage the belief that the limitation of armaments will receive serious attention at the coming peace conference at The Hague. Though none of the great powers has expressed any desire to cut down its military equipment, there is reason to think the matter will be approached in the most friendly and liberal spirit. No doubt some of the countries now groaning under the almost intolerable burden of their war outfit would be glad of a good excuse to cut down expenses which are getting heavier all the time. By experimenting with dying persons some Boston doctors have determined that the human soul weighs half an ounce or more. It ought to be easy, declares the St. Dispatch, to rig up an apparatus to tell which direction the soul goes when it leaves. The statement that Baroness Burdett-Coutts, after having held in life a fortune of $15,000,000, left at her death an estate of $393,000, shows that others besides Mr. Carnegie have determined to avoid the disgrace of dying rich.

SESSION America Should Recommend That Usage in Duels Be Extended to War. New York—William T. Stead, who has recently made a tour of the European capitals in connection with the new Hague conference and who comes here to attend the dedication of the Carnegie institute at Pittsburg, reached here Wednesday. Mr. Stead will attend the national peace convention in this city April 16 and 17. In speaking of The Hague assembly, he said America should carry one step farther the principles which the American delegates incorporated in the convention of 1899—the recommendation that usage in duels should be extended to wars. "Article 8 of the convention, which contains this recommendation, has not been acted upon, although recommendations were made unanimously," said Mr. Stead. "It recommends that when two powers have a dispute which they are unable to adjust by ordinary means by diplomacy, they should not resort to hostilities the moment they suspend diplomatic intercourse, but that they should each call in a special mediator corresponding to a second in a private duel, who shall have a period not exceeding thirty days in which to try and compose the dispute and avert war. If it had been acted upon neither the South African war nor the Russo-Japanese war would have broken out when they did. A pause of thirty days and a fresh deal with new negotiations would give the world absolute security against sudden outbreaks of war and place the delirium of war fever under the control of the sober common sense of the community." UNCLE SAM LOSES MONEY. Just 7 Cents Per Pound on All Second- Class Mail Matter. Washington — Senator Carter, of Montana, a member of the postal commission appointed to consider the question of better business methods for the postoffice department, was at the White House Wednesday. Speaking of one of the features of the work of the commission, the senator said that it has been charged that the money order department of the government loses $1,000 per day. While the commission had not found this charge substantiated, the senator believed that undoubtedly there was considerable laxity in various bureaues of the postal service that ought to be remedied. For instance, it is said the government loses 7c on every pound of second-class newspaper mail carried. When the commission called on the department for an explanation, said the senator, it found the officials had no means of giving any accurate information on it. All was guess work, he said. Expert accountants will be employed to go over the records and see if the charges can be substantiated. There is a proposition for the appointment of a director of posts, who is to hold his position irrespective of any changes in the offices of postmaster general, which the senator admitted had some merit, and the commission will consider the propriety of recommending the creation of such an office. SIX HUNDRED STRIKE. But Later Half of the Men Return to Work. San Francisco—All the union men employed on the Hotel Fairmont were called off Wednesday by order of P. H. McCarthy, president of the Building Trades Council. Six hundred obeyed the order, but after excited meetings had been held on the street, more than half of them returned to work, declaring the order of McCarthy to be tyrannical and unjust. The men will take the matter up with their respective unions. McCarthy's order grew out of his controversy with the independent union of electrical workers, which was formed here some time ago in defiance of his orders. Can Not Build Tunnel. St. Petersburg—The cabinet yesterday rejected a proposal made on behalf of an American syndicate for the construction of a railway tunnel under Behring straits, by which it was hoped ultimately to connect the Trans-Siberian with the Canadian Pacific railroad. The council of ministers Wednesday announced the acceptance of a proposal made by Minister of Finance Kokovsoff for the reduction of railroad freight charges on cast iron, cast steel and rails for exports. Labor Day in France. Paris—Speculation relative to the labor demonstration May 1, with forecasts of disturbances, occupied large space in the newpapers Wednesday. The secretary of the Federation of Labor, when interviewed, declined to disclose the programme decided upon. He declared, however, that the stoppage of work would be general in France on that date. The government's precautions to prevent disorders are complete and the city officials believe that May day will pass off peaceably. SOLDPRIVATEPAPER SOLDPRIVATEPAPER FRANK P. HILL, A STENOGRA PHER, UNDER ARREST. WAS IN VIOLATION OF PENAL CODE The Harriman-Webster Letter, Which Called Forth Reply from President, Cause of Arrest. New York—Frank W. Hill, a stenographer, was arrested Thursday night charged with having sold to a newspaper a personal letter of E. H. Harriman. The warrant was sworn to by Alexander Millar, secretary of the Union Pacific Railroad Co., of which Mr. Harriman is president. The letter in question was addressed by Mr. Harriman to Sydney Webster and was first published here by the World last Tuesday morning. Statements therein contained called forth a reply from President Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon. Action against Hill was taken under the section of the penal code, which defines as a misdemeanor the act of "a person who wilfully and without authority either takes a letter, telegram or private paper belonging to another or a copy thereof and publishes the whole or any portion thereof." Assistant District Attorney Paul Krotel has charge of the case and it was said that arrest will, it is believed, discourage the publication of letters of another prominent man which, according to report, have recently been offered for sale. A copy of the Harriman letter in which the writer stated the chief executive had appealed to him for funds for the campaign of 1904 made, it is alleged, from Hill's stenographic notes and in his writing, was offered for sale to a Brooklyn paper and later to a New York paper, both of which declined to purchase. The New York paper subsequently turned the copy over to the district attorney's office. Hill was employed in Mr. Harriman's office for 21 years. About a year ago he was discharged because, it was said, of friction with other employees. Recently he entered the broker's office of De Coppet & Doremus. He has a wife and two children. Hill was placed in a cell for the night and will be arraigned today. When asked whether he cared to make any explanation, he replied that he was too greatly perplexed to discuss the matter. Neither Mr. Harriman nor any one connected with his office would comment upon the arrest. Hill is 37 years old and lives in Brooklyn. CAN'T LOCATE DETWEILER. Hence Cases of the Toledo Capitalists Are Continued. San Rrancisco—The cases of A. K. Detweiler, the Toledo capitalist, and Louis Glass, vice president of the Pacific States Telephone Co., both of whom are indicted for bribery, have been continued until Thursday next by Judge Lawler. The sheriff has been unable to find Detweiler. Glass' attorneys asked for delay in order to read the testimony upon which the grand jury indicted him. The circular for the arrest of A.K. Detweiler, as sent out by Sheriff O'Neill and Chief of Police Dinan, contains the following : "A. K. Detweiler, supposed to be a German, aged about 60 years; height about 5 feet 7 inches. Is or has been connected with the Detweiler company of Toledo, O., the Home Telephone Co. and other large business enterprises." The circular adds that Detweiler is wanted on 13 indictments and that the bail in each case is $6,000. WARRANTS FOR EMPLOYES. Coroner in Colton Wreck Case Holds Them to Blame. Colton, Cal.—Coroner Van Wie has sworn out warrants for he arrest of the employees of the Southern Pacific, who were held responsible for the wreck in which 25 people were killed and 75 injured. The charge is manslaughter without malice. The men accused are: L. R. Atword, foreman of the switching crew; J. G. Crussmeyer, switchman; Clarence Warmington, engineer. The complaints specifically charge them of causing the death of H. F. Walters of Sacramento. Prisoner Secured Knife. Chicago—Howard Nicholas, one of the defendants in the trial for the murder of Margaret Leslie, an actress, caused a sensation in court Thursday, when he seized a large knife from a valise which had been brought into the courtroom and tried to conceal it under his coat. Deputy Sheriff Bagley seized Nicholas and, after a slight struggle, got the knife. The valise had been brought for purpose of evidence and, while pointing out to his attorney where certain articles could be found, Nicholas secured the knife. Robbers Secure Small Booty Fort Scott, Kas., April 5—Robbers partly wrecked the safe of the Redfield State Bank at Redfield, Kas., 10 miles west of here, early Thursday, but only secured a little change.

McGuigan Elevated to First Vice Presidency and Will Have Direct Charge of the Operating Department. St. Paul, Minn.—James J. Hill has resigned the presidency of the Great Northern railroad and will be chairman of the board of directors. His, son, L. W. Hill, succeeds him's president of the Freat Northern. The following statement was given to the press from Mr. Hill's office: "At a meeting of the board of directors held here this afternoon the organization of the company was en larged by the election of a chairman of the board of directors. J. J. Hill was elected chairman. "L. W. Hill was elected president and Frank H. McGuigan first vice president. Mr. McGuigan will have direct charge of the operating department, the other officers of the board remaining as at present. The company's business has doubled in the past five or six years, which renders necessary the increase of the operating staff." AVAILABLE SUPPLIES IN U. S.

Colton, Cal.—The verdict of the coroner's jury summoned to investigate the wreck at Colton last Thursday, in which 23 people lost their lives and nearly a hundred more were injured, was returned Tuesday evening. The foreman of the switching crew and his assistants are saddled with the responsibility for the wreck through criminal negligence; the engineer of the wrecked Overland train is guilty of negligence through running too fast, and the Southern Pacific is censured for operating the fragile cars in which many of the Italian immigrants were killed. GREEN BUG IN OKLAHOMA. Wheat and Oats Have Been Seriously Damaged by Insect. Oklahoma City, Okla.-C. V. Topping, secretary of the Oklahoma Millers' association, who has received reports from every section of Oklahoma, in a report made public Tuesday estimates that 15 per cent of the wheat and 25 per cent of the oats crop is destroyed by the green bug. There is, he said, not a section where the pest has not appeared, while in some sections both crops are wholly destroyed. The bug is now beginning to fly and it is believed the next ten days will see the end of its ravages. Resigns from Secret Service. Resigns from Secret Service. Omaha, Neb.—Capt. John Webb, for the last six or seven years in charge of the secret service bureau of the government for the western Nebraska district, has sent his resignation to Chief Wilkie to take effect about April 15. He will return to his farm in Indiana. Capt. Webb has been in the government secret service for about 20 years. Previously he was chief of police of Canton, O., and was a close personal friend of the late President McKinley. He is a veteran of the civil war Big Cotton Swindle Temple, Tex.-At the instance of the Santa Fe railroad, Chris Rogers, a relative of W. R. Miller, who is at alleged to have perpetrated a swindle aggregating $75,000 by securing money on bills of lading on 1,500 bales of cotton not backed up with the cotton, has been arrested here. The bill of lading, it is stated, were signed by the agent of the railroad company on the representation of Miller and the road therefore accepted responsibility. The road claims it has been the victim of a conspiracy ECHOES FROM RELIGIOUS FIELDS How the Gospel Transformeed This Sioux Indian. That the good Indian is not the dead Indian but the Indian who has struck the Jesus road and has given up his idle Indian ways and begun a new life i in Christ Jesus has been too often ex- emplified at the mission stations among the various tribes throughout the country to need reiteration. Yellow Hawk, of the Teton Sioux in Jesus road and has given up his idle Indian ways and begun a new life in Christ Jesus has been too often exemplified at the mission stations among the various tribes throughout the country to need reiteration. Yellow Hawk, of the Teton Sioux in South Dakota, whose picture we give above, is a striking illustration. Gen. Chas. H. Howard tells of his first introduction to Yellow Hawk 21 years ago. He says: "We drove to Yellow Hawk's village and found the tall young chief standing by his log cabin. He was idle and listless in aspect—industry and education being the farthest from his thought. He had on blanket and leggings, and his face and the parting of his hair were painted yellow." Five years later he tells of meeting him at the "annual mission meeting" of the Dakota Indian churches, when he had applied for membership and the question of marriage was being discussed, as Yellow Hawk had three wives. It was described, after sympathetically considering all the difficulties, that the candidate must be married in Christian fashion to one of the wives, and that he was to put away the others, but see to their support. Another five years passed and Gen. Howard saw Yellow Hawk again. "He was greatly changed in looks," he says. "He was now wearing citizen's clothes, could read, having learned with some 17 others of the adult Indians in a night school, the first winter after the mission was established. He attended some of the meetings and was reading his Bible. He had a fairly good field of corn, and had begun to show a disposition to work." And now Yellow Hawk holds the position of pastor to a native church and missionary station erected by the members. Friends' Church Reviving. The Friends' church, which for awhile seemed doomed to waste away, is reviving, and its statistics in the last few years indicate a healthy state. In 1906 the total membership increased from 96,225 to 97,919. In the column showing number of ministers there is a gain of 72—a total of 1,352. The Quakers are the only Protestant people who enter births in church statistics, and one of the most discouraging features of their annual tables has been the excess of deaths over births. But that excess, not yet wiped out, is rapidly diminishing. Last year there were reported 77 more deaths than births; this year but 23 more. The deficiency in birth rate is in the eastern portion of the church. New England yearly meeting reported but 28 births and 80 deaths, but in Iowa 82 deaths are more than counterbalanced by 133 births. Indiana is the strongest Quaker state. Nearly 35,000 of its people are Friends. Yum Chung-il. Rev. E. M. Cable writes of effective work done by Yum Chung-il, a Corean colpator who is traveling on the islands near Kyodong. He has been instrumental in starting Christian communities on 12 large islands, and has made it possible for the missionary to reap a bountiful harvest. On the island where Yum Chung-il lives he chanced one day to enter a Buddhist temple where a number of priests with shorn heads were doing their daily round of prayers and sacrifice to the image of the sacred Buddha which adorned the temple. Going over to a bright looking young priest he tried to convince him of the folly and wrong of such service as he was offering to this false god. The priest bought a copy of John's Gospel in Corean and read it with much interest. A few days later he walked from the temple to Mr. Yum to tell him that he had decided to give up his worship of Buddha and to worship the true God. A Remarkable Meeting. The evangelistic labors of Rev. Dr. William J. Dawson, formerly of London, in Kansas City have been favorably commented upon by those in authority to judge. One religious meeting which it has been said will not be soon forgotten was in the police court room on a Saturday night, when 200 Christians headed a procession which was followed by hundreds of dissipated men. Sentiment Has Changed. Christian England laughed when Sydney Smith sneered at William Carey as a "consecrated cobbler," going on a fool's errand to convert the heathen. But when Carey died at the age of 73 years he was visited by the bishop of India, the head of the Church of England in that land, who humbly invoked the blessing of the dying missionary.

Over five hundred persons have ask- ed, “What is the Palladium doing?” ‘We took advice from “Williams and Walker” and “Let It Alone.” During the election of two years ago, and also last fall, the Palladium was the first in the field to speak out for the principles of the G. O. P. and we urged our people to stand firm by the party of progress. The Republican party was successful, but when the pie counter was set, we were not in- vited to take part. Last Fall they were again successful, but as yet, only one man that was elected has given anything to the Negro, that gen- tleman was Mr. Nolte, the sheriff. so you see the Negro has been treated so badly that we thought we would ad- vise Aunt Hagar’s children to gy fish- ing April 2, ’07. I wish to say, that we again thank our many subscribers and advertisers for their prompt attention in the pay- ment of their indebtedness to the Pal: ladium. No better subscribers exisi in any county. We doff our hats to them and bid them God speed. We shall always speak in the highest term: of them and still we have about fifty of the meanest Negroes in Mayor Well's city. They are grumbling every time some one goes to collect from them. Such persons we would rather not have. There is only one funny man that we can stand, and that fs Abraham Lincoln Lee. He is the fun ny man from Funny Town, and takes delight in poking fun at the Palladium ‘Man. ‘The two unknown Negroes that the Central Committee had as the great or- ators were a disgrace to St. Louis, and a joke on the Committee. It shows what a little thought the aver- age Republican politician has for the Negro Race. Negroes who are fugi- tives from justice—the Republican Central Committee takes them up as orators, to have them stand before the citizens of St. Louis and tell them how to vote. If there ever was a Jim ‘Crow Negro, the Central Committee had two of them making speeches. We trust that the next Central Committee will take note and be guided by the citizens of St. Louis, and not by refu- gees from the Democratic Party either White or Black. ‘The Paladium will wager a ten dol- lar note against a peanut that not 2000 Negroes voted last Tuesday. What was the reason? Because the party has taken up the worthless Ne- groes of St. Louis and placed them in office. We will wager the same that over 3,000 Negroes voted the Demo- cratic ticket. Why? Because the Re- publicans have tried to subdue the re- spectable Negroes to their wishes. Our silence has been so firm that we paid no attention to polities ex- cept political ads from Democrats and Republicans, which is a part of news- paper business. One of the so-called Negro Republican Orators took a copy of the Pallddium down to his master, the Central Committee, and said “See here dat Wheeler is supporting Hussy in the 22nd Ward. I told youns all dat he is a Democrat. Dar youns can see.” At this remark from an ignora- mus, disgust came into the minds of every intelligent man; to think that 2 big burly Negro could not tell an “ad” from an editorial. This is one of the Central Committee's great orators on the city campaign. Look here, what does this mean from the City Central Committeemen’s subscription. Color: ed Men's Paper, $2.00—to the Enter prise $110.00, Will some one tell us ta whom this $2.00 was paid and for what paper. The Republicans tried their best to ignore the Negroes of St. Louis, but the Negroes have become dissatisfied with their treatment and are deter- mined. If they cannot eat at the pie counter, then the Republicans who want to eat at the counter must tote fair, What has the Negro received from last Fall's election? What have they received from their congressmen? Have the Congressmen from the 10th, 1ith and 12th districts paid any atten- tion to the Negroes? Yet they come back and urge the Negroes of St. Louis to vote again for the Republicans. It is now time for the parties who won last fall by Negro votes to do some- thing for the Negro. It is now time to settle up old accounts and show him that he is considered in the Republi- can party. The time has passed, when the Republicans can handle the Negro as they please. All over St. Louis the Negroes were dissatisfied with their treatment at the hands of the Repub: licans for the past two elections. ‘Thy have disregarded the balance power of the Republicans in St. Louis to such an extent, that the Negro did not vote last Tuesday and “Let It Alone.” OUSTED AND BADLY BEATEN. The fate of the Republican last Tues- day was due to many things. ‘The Palladium pointed out the ingraiitude of the leaders of the Republicans to: ward 10,000 Negro voters. This wus the greatest cause of tie'r defeat. Secondly: In the handing of the City Politics not a Negro in the city was found worthy to be consilered on any line or point, No Negro was asked to zid. The two or three Negroes that the Republican Centra! Commitieemen relied upon were Negroes who are fv- gitives from justice and were formerly Democrats. Thugs of Kansas City and other places. These were the kind of Negroes who were sent ont to teach the voters what to do. The Cen- tral Committee was aware of the fact that these Negroes wee not :im't ted into any respectable Negro faw- ity FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. Last Sunday morning was full of sweets. When the Sabbath school be- gun, many girls and boys were in their seats, when the bell for nine was rung. The lesson was full of interest, which made all the children glad as they were clad in their very best, which was given them by their dad. The Young Peoples’ Union met at five o'clock and a joyful meeting was had. Closing the discussion was left alive, and every heart was made glad. ‘The church services were the next on hand, When the organist did play the songs were the sweetest in all the land. That's just what the preacher said. All the members are requested to send their children on time to the Sunday school which meets at 9 a. m., and also the B. Y. P. U., which meets at 5:30 p.m. ‘The same request holds good for the choir members for church service at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Mrs, Mattie ‘Thornton, of 2011A Walnut street, a dear old Christian lady, who has been sick for three months, died last Sunday night at the City Hospital where she was carried last week. She was buried by Mr. A. Russell, 2332 Chestnut street. May aha ‘velit dn sdere: The different clubs are giving enter- tainments and pardor socials right along, trying to raise the $260 which ig required of each of them by the fourth Sunday in this month. A de- lightful entertainment was given Tues- day night at the home of Madam J. H. Brooks, 10 Johnson street. Quite a nice crowd was out. Sunday school and Union both serv- ed free cream. “Oh, my how those people did eat! ‘Their thirst was sharpened for it, it seems, as eaters they could hardly be beat. ‘The day was the most glorious one in the history of the church. The Sabbath school took first whack at Easter. The little children and a few grown people turned out with smiling faces to welcome Easter. The lesson, “A Risen Savior” was indeed a good one, and brought with instruction. The superintendent, M. Hamilton, and the many-teachers spared no pains in making the lesson plain and interest- ing to all in the different classes, and the only time when sorrow was felt, was the hour for closing, and that did not last long, for the most of the schol- ars stopped in the auditorium where the church serviées had commenced, which place was richly decorated with ferns, palms, ete. Madam M. A. Gil ree and her choir, had made extensive preparation for the occasion. Nearly all of the members of her choir sang solos, which were indeed grand, and in fact, when listening to those sweet ‘voices, one could or would imagine ‘himself in dream-land among the an- gels. This special song service was jearried on at the night service also, and together with the two good ser- ‘mons, which were preached by Rey. |R. H. Cole, made the day a Sea of Joy and pleasure. At 5:39 p. m,, the B. Y. P. U, had a glorious meeting after the Bible reading. .The president, N. P. Hairston arose and announced the subject for discussion, which was, “How shall we help up a race.” Sev- leral spoke, including Mrs. Lula Alexan: ger, the vice president, who said that she thought the best thing that could be done was to learn the children when they are small how to be honest, upright and clean, and to work and not to depend on mother, father or any one else for a living. She further said that too many young boys and girls walking around town doing nothing now-a-days, and that is what makes bad men and women, and until our people get out of this, we will never be what we ought to be. Yes, this fs true, and I will add, that the men will never be what they ought to be until the women will cease to pay attention to the worthless vagabond, feeding and clothing them and giving them money to spend and gamble on at the ex pense of themselves and husband’ ‘These things have kept many a good man from marrying and also has brok en up many families. | OF THE : atl When you hear a girl say she wents to be something and then her ideas are not above a boot-black, such a girl is wrong in the upper story. B, A. Billups is a candidate for the dead beat society, He formerly lived at 4279, 4348 and 419 St. Ferdinand Avenue, At one place he had a wife: Wait for the history of this man, When men, boys, girls and would-be women stay up so late at night, they ought to stay at home and not be sleep ing on your employer's time.

There must be something else. There must be quality instead of quantity. Mark what we say. When the Palladium Man inquired of a certain man, who was a candidate, if he would like to have a little aid? We were informed that he would win, hands down; but this morning we think he finds himself badly beaten. ‘Why is it that young men and girls will not work for their own race as well as they will for other races. When men are in business, an employee should take pride in its prosperous growth. Abraham Lincoln Lee, was in the barbershop last Sunday morning. As the Palladium man came in, he was the happiest Nigger in the bunch, He told the Palladium man that he did not give a D— about his name appear- ing in the dead heat society—for that is the way he kept up appearance with his family, in beating everybody that he can. We Are Up Again and Propose to Get Busy. Are the churches and Masonic lodg- es doing their duty to their old and faithful member, one Moses, a mem- ber of Prince Hall lodge and also of First Baptist church? He has been blind for several years, he is now living at 1534 N. 18th street. I have seen him and judging from his appear. anee, the church and lodge are doing nothing for him. As soon as a Negro can get his stom- ach full of cabbage and neck bones and he sees where he can get it for a while, he swells up like a toad-frog and says to his wife, “We must cut down ex- penses.” The wife says, «My dear, we have no extra expenses” We only take the Post, Globe and two Negro papers, and these I have taken for years. Well, you must cut off those Negro papers, for'I don't I'xe them. Thus the master of Creation speaks and the poor wife must obey to live with him who has no resp2vt for her.

Mr. Bievens was heat upseveral years ago in the discharge of his duty to his party by the Democrats. His jaw was broken and we was disfigured for life, and his present illness is the result of the many blows heaped upon him at that time. Is the old line Republican stand- ing by him? Mr. Raymon, the politician who came from the South years ago, died last Fall and left a blind wife, who, after several months of widowhood, has married and is doing nicely. If blind women can get married so soon, why is it that our young girls can’t or don’t get married. Ah! I know, they are looking for a good time and when they wish to marry, they will look back on such a life that no man would care to have them. OBSERVATIONS S. P.

Girls who are of marriageable age should keep company outside of jail-birds and Negroes whose pictures are in the rogue’s gallery, ang those who have been inmates of the work house, and penitentiary. There is some excuse for men who in the heat of passion gets in a fight with his fellowmen, and goes to the penitentiary, but for stealing, no man should be considered in the society of respectable Negroes after he has served a term in the workhouse or penitentiary or has his picture in the rogue’s gallery, and hae escaped the clutches of the law, by some technical point and yet they come to St. Louis Negroes and are re- spected as gentlemen. This should not be, the mother and father ought to draw the line on such cattle and put the mark of condemnation upon them. Just as long as they are tolerated, so long will the Negro of St. Louis fail to understand the difference between this caste of men and women.

Not a Single Stone Has Formed Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills. J. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, of Suffolk, Va., says: "During two or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack. three years that I had kidney trouble I passed 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, pain in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that is not one-quarter of the whole number. I consider Doan's Kidney Pills a fine kidney tonic." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Home of the Icebergs. Almost all the icebergs seen in the north Atlantic during June are products of the coast of Labrador, formed from the ice fields that had filled the indentations of that coast the previous winter. July's icebergs come from further north in the vicinity of Baffin Land, those of August come from still further north, and though fewer in number than those of the earlier summer, are larger in individuality. From the coast of Labrador may be seen an endless procession of these ice mountains coming out of the north and taking their way majestically southward until they lose their being in the warmer waters and climate of the south Atlantic.—Maine Journal. Canoe of Ancient Make. While engaged in clearing out a deep bog in Somersetshire, England, a workman unearthed a canoe which probably belonged to some ancient lake dweller. The boat, which is of oak, is in a fairly good state of preservation, and measures 20 feet 6 inches in length and 2 feet 10 inches in width, and in appearance is somewhat like a modern punt. A Word for Himself. The young widow of an old husband inscribed the following words upon her dear departed's tomb: "To the memory of Mathurin Bezuquet, who left this vale of tears at the age of 99 years 11 months and 20 days, deeply grieved at having to leave behind him the most charming and faithful of wives." TONIC FOR MOTHERS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Are Safe and Reliable—A Favorite Household Remedy. Motherhood may be the crowning blessing of a woman's life or it may bring grief and sorrow. Mrs. M. J. Wight, of 170 Seventa Street, Auburn, Maine, relates her experience after the birth of her daughter in 1901, as follows: "I was all run down at the time the baby came and did not improve in health rapidly after. I was pale, thin and bloodless. My stomach distressed me being full of gas all the time and my heart futtered so that I could scarely breathe. "Finally I remembered that a friend had recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me so I commenced using them. I gained in strength rapidly while the baby throve also. When I expected my next child I started taking the pills again as a tonic and strengthener and had no such difficulty as before. I got up better and my strength came back much sooner. "A year ago last winter I had an attack of racemism in the hands which went from one hand to the other. The joints swelled up and were so stiff I could not move them. The pain extended up through my arms and shoulders. I felt sick enough to go to bed but did not do so. This attack lasted for several months. I tried several remedies but finally came back to using the pills which had done me so much good before and found that they benefited me almost at once. I have not been troubled since." All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail post-paid, on receipt of价, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

William Ethridge was given a judgment against Dr. G. B. Dorrell and others in the Green county circuit court for $600. Ethridge had sued for $5,000 damages on four counts, false imprisonment, assault, intimidation and the breaking up of a marriage contract between him and Miss Nettle Callison, who lived at Republic. The amount of the judgment was paid to Ethridge, and it came to him in the shape of a wedding present. It has just developed that the young couple, who had been kept apart by relatives of the girl, were married at Greenfield recently. When the case was tried, the young couple told Judge Neville that they met during strawberry picking time at Republic a year ago. Their love ripened as fast as the spheres they gathered in the field, but relatives tried to separate them by causing Ethridge's arrest on a charge of assaulting the young woman's grand-mother. Then threats were made against him if he did not leave Republic. He hunted up a lawyer, sued for damages, got a judgment and has since married the gril of his choice, obtaining from those who sought to prevent his marriage enough money to fit up a cottage. Get Rid of Diseased Cows. When the Missouri pure food law goes into effect in June the dairymen, who knowingly sell milk from diseased cattle, will be subject to prosecution. Dr. D. F. Lucky, state veterinarian said that most dairymen over the state are now co-operating with him in his effort to have cattle suffering with tuberculosis killed, but that he knew of one Missouri dairyman who was knowingly selling milk from more than 25 cows affected with tuberculosis in a serious stage. New M. E. Church in Hannibal. The corner stone of the new First M. E. church in Hannibal was laid recently. Rev. Levi Marshall pastor of the First Christian church, delivered the invocation. Rev. J.

Boring of First Presbyterian church took part in the ceremonies. The new structure will cost $35,000. Arrested by a Minister. A quantity of elderberry wine and a minister of the gospel were responsible for the appearance of Jacob Shawhan, Hubert Chism and Jack Roggs in the criminal court in Kansas City, to answer to a charge of disturbing the peace of Lone Jack. Rev. W. T. Church, pastor of the First Baptist church of the town, was the complaining witness. He holds a commission as a deputy marshal and arrested the men for shouting on the streets on Sunday. Increased Its Capital Stock. The Kansas City Terminal railway company of Kansas City, has filed a statement with the state department increasing its capital stock from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000. The Kansas City Terminal Railway company is the corporation organized to build the Union station and develop the freight and passenger terminals of Kansas City. A. "Shocking" dinner Some young men invited to a baked duck dinner in Marceline met with a shocking experience. The host had a concealed electric battery connected by wires with the dishes. By switching the current about he furnished himself a lot of amusement and mystified the diners for a time. Fought Fire With Buckets. Fire at Savannah destroyed two stores and damaged a lumber yard. The loss was $60,000. Savannah has no fire department and 300 citizens fought the flames with buckets, saving the town from destruction. A fire company from St. Joseph was dispatched by special train. There has recently been a revival of talk in railroad circles of the Chadwick branch of the Frisco system being extended through the southwest corner of Douglas county to Gainesville, the county seat of Ozark county. Later the road will be extended to some connecting point in north Arkansas. Trenton's "Holigans." Trenton has a "Hooligan club." It is composed of 14 young society belles of that town.

Clay Ewing, born in Jefferson City August 15, 1828, died there recently, aged 79 years. At the time of his death he was president of the Exchange bank, which institution he visited daily, despite his years, though he gave but little attention to its business. He was admitted to the bar in 1852, and many years ago was employed on one side or the other of every case coming before the supreme court during an entire term. During Gowin. Woodson's administration he was attorney general. He represented the county in the legislature one term, for two years served as a supreme court commissioner, and was associated at that time with Judge John F. Phillips, now on the federal bench, and the late Judge Alexander Martin, later dean of the law department at the state university. While attorney general he instituted the suit to set aside the sale of the Missouri Pacific railroad, made under Gov. Fletcher. In that suit he was associated with Britton A. Hill and Frank Bowman, both former prominent St. Louisans. He was married in 1855 to Miss Georgia Chiles of Glasgow, a niece of "Pap" Price, the confederate general. Missouri's Thaw Case. After 26 hours of deliberation the jury in the circuit court at Carthage found Arthur Sanderson innocent of the charge of murdering Dr Solomon D. Meredith. The trial of Sanderson was productive of a sensation when Mrs. Sanderson, in defense of her husband, testified that Dr. Meredith, who had been their family physician, had made love to her when she went to his office to consult him. Later when one of the Sanderson children was ill and Sanderson wanted to send for Dr. Meredith, Mrs. Sanderson had demurred and said that some other physician should be called in. Sanderson insisted upon knowing why she objected to Dr. Meredith and Mrs. Sanderson detailed her experiences with him. Sanderson immediately brought Dr. Meredith to his house. Before Mrs. Sanderson he accused the physician of ruining his home and shot and killed him. Arks Damages Against Union. Moses H. Tuck, employed as a blacksmith at the Missouri Pacific shops has brought suit in the Pettis county circuit court for $6,000 against G. W. L liable, H. J. Maynard, O. M. Brown, Walter Smith and O. A. Haire, it being alleged that the defendants charged him with being a traitor, scab, spy and a spotter in the employ of the Missouri Pacific Railway company, and that he was convicted on the forgoing charges by the railway blocksmiths' local union, of which he is a member, and fined $50. Farmers' Union Officers. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year by the Farmers' Union in session at West Plains: J. G. Wear, Butler county, president; N. H. Summit, Dunklin county, vice president; L. F. Luthy, secretary and treasurer; John Barret, Howell county, business manager; J. J. Wilson, Pemiscott county, chaplain; N. W. Flhser, Mississippi county, state organizer; Alfred Hughes, Dunklin county, conductor; William A. Yount, Cape Girordeau county, doorkeeper; James McIntosh, Barry county, sergeant-at arms. Verdict Against Street Railway Co. A verdict for $9,500 was given J. W. Booker in division No. 1 of the circuit court against the Southwest Missouri Electric railway. While Booker was standing on the square in Carthage last winter waiting to take a car a trolley wire charged with electricity broke and struck him on the lower jaw burning him badly and it is said permanently wrecking his nervous system. Turned Loose to Be Good. At Kingston Judge Trimble paroled Frank Hays on condition that he and his family leave the state. Hays was convicted of illegal sale of liquor on several counts and the fines and costs imposed amounted to $700, in default of which he has been in jail. Hays operated in Braymer and is now banished with the understanding that he will engage in some lawful occupation. Curators Appointed. Gov. Folk has announced the appointment of P. E. Burton, of Joplin; J. V. C. Karnes, of Kansas City, and Stewart L. Baysinger, of Rolla, to be members of the board of curators of the state university at Rolla. This board chooses the executive board which has the management of the School of Mines and Mettallurgy at Rolla. Under a Load of Stone. George E. Smith, 45 years old, a teamster for Ferrins Grading company, on the country roads, met death in a peculiar manner. While driving along the highway two miles from Lee's Summit something went wrong with the coupling pole. Smith got beneath the wagon to find the cause, when the team started. The wagon was loaded with stone. The king pin pulled out and caused the wagon to break in the center letting the whole load down on Smith, GHOSTS PLAY MANY PRANKS. Grab Repe from Bellringer and Cut Down Trees. Ghostly happenings have disturbed the town of Kirkwall, the capital of the county of Orkney. On Wednesday night, says the London Daily Mall, the wife of the bellringer went to St. Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew at eight o'clock. This is an ancient custom still observed in the burgh. The bell had been toiled for less than a minute, when, it is alleged, a figure suddenly appeared at the woman's side, snatched her hands from the rope and as mysteriously disappeared. Another morning 20 trees which a few years ago were planted in front of the cathedral were found to have been cut down. The night was a calm one, with brilliant moonlight, and the trees were standing at one o'clock in the morning. Hundreds of windows have an outlook on the spot, and many people who were still astir at three o'clock in the morning did not hear the slightest sound outside. Yet an hour later every tree had been destroyed. The police are baffled. FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

A good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago. The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind, and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were tried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful. An electric drill machine was even set up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedges, but this was also unsuccessful. The cannon were then taken away and the last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond, where an effort was being made to break them open with dynamite again. The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas in 1812. Tantalizing Man: "I see by the paper," said Mrs. Blanks at the breakfast table, "that a delegation of women suffragettes is coming to this country." Mr. Blinks said nothing. "And they're going to invade Washington and make a speech to the president, and all." Blinks still silent. "I declare," snapped the lady, "You're the most tantalizing man in existence. There you sit like a statue, never saying a word to show that you don't know what you're talking about." A FRIENDLY GROCER. Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee. "For about eight years," writes a Mich. woman, "I suffered from nervousness—part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. "Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At others, I would have severe bilious attacks, and my heart would flutter painfully when I would walk fast or sweep. "I have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our grocer was asking husband how I was and he urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it. "So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postm. I began to get better in a month's time and look like another person, the color came back to my cheeks, I began to sleep well, my appetite was good and I commenced to take on flesh and become interested in everything about the house. "Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my old trouble. I am so thankful for the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' It has done me so much good. I haven't taken medicine of any kind for six months and don't need any. "A friend of ours did not like Postm as she made it, liked mine, and when she learned to boll it long enough, her's was as good as mine. It's easy if you follow directions." Name given by Postm Company, Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a reason." Little Bobby on Bees. Little Boby wrote an essay on bees as follows: "The bee is a queer sort of an insect, that gives people a few points that they don't appreciate. The queen bee bosses the hive, just like ma bosses our house. The drone bee is like pa; he don't care much about work. There are other kinds of bees, including political bees, quilting bees and husking bees. But the best bees of all are the kissing bees. There is a kissing bee in our parlor every Sunday night and I get a nickel not to tell about it. When it comes to a choice of bees, give me a kissing bee every time." 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. Big Collection of Pelts by a Boy. The youngest successful trapper in the country is probably Woodbury Moore of Kendall, aged 14 years, says the Denver News. The boy has just collected bounty on ten coyote pelts and during the winter has taken, in addition to the coyotes, ten badgers, 80 muskrats, 12 skunks and about $50 worth of mink furs. He traps independently, receiving no adult assistance. Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it.—Hazlitt.

Statistics figure that the population of the city will exceed that of London by 25 year 1915, and will double in 25 years. The present generation will undoubtedly see in New York the world's greatest metropolis. Few people realize that the population of New York city is already one in 20 of the population of the entire United States or that the growth of New York in the century past has been the times more rapid than the growth of the whole country.—Moody's Magazine.

"There no attempt to substitute Esau for Elliott." "Thou shalt not be a wife of the daughters of man." This was Rebekah's con- rance (Gen. 27:46), in order to get safely away; and yet it was wholly a pretext, for a wife must be provided for the now recognized northern, and no alliance with heath- ther was fit for the one in whose the great Abrahamic covenant descend. It would be well for Christians if they also took heed not unequally yoked together with unclefellers." (2 Cor. 6:14). A Father's Blessing. The best "start life" a young man can have is the medication of a godly father or moth- Jacob Comforted by a Heavenly tion and a Renewed Covenant.— our exile was a "mother's boy." He had been long enough from Beersheba to grow homesick. His heart was affirmed also by the lonely place and solitary condition, by the night and the stars. Light from Jacob's Ladder.—What he lonely travel learned from this lovely vision we also may learn. These tudder lessons are: The nearness of heaven. Angels are all around us to help us, as the crown was full of celestial defend- ound about Elisha. These angels are magnificent figures. God "maketh his angels and his ministers a flame of fire. And yet they are ready to come a guilty fugitive like Jacob. The way to heaven is a stairway, of ascent, with angels to help us. Mohammedans, on the contrary, entrée to heaven as a angel "as narrow as the thread of finished spider." And Jesus Christ is the Way! Lord himself (John 1:51) applied description of Jacob's stairway to a great work as a medium of communication between God and man. man cometh unto the Father, but me." Gleams of heaven may be expect- through the darkest sky of misforce and sorrow. a 'The angels ascended: there is the descent of our prayers. The angels ascended: there is the descent of our answers. We are reminded of the afferent and efferent nerves of the body—up which flash the sharp mass of pain from the extremities to head; down which come the directions how to act.' - F. B. Meyer. Jacob's Covenant a Response to Jacob's Covenant—In no way do men know their characters more clearly than by the response they make to the goodness of God. It is like the question in the chemist's test-tube, where a certain substance is added, which at once discloses the nature of the compound under examination. Jacob's responses to God's gracious promises were three: Veneration, commemoration and consecration. Second Response, Commemoration. Jacob established two memorials of the great event, a stone monument, and a still more lasting name. Third Response, Consecration.—20. "And Jacob vowed a vow." He a man understands God's covenant of blessing, the natural and unstable impulse is to make one in heaven. Love begets love, and benevolence inspires a wish to do something for the benefactor. 12. "And of all that thou shoust give me I will surely give the tenth to thee." This giving of tithes was a very ancient custom, followed by Judaism in the case of Melchizedek (14:20), and carefully laid down in the Mosaic law (Lev. 27:30:33). God's Covenant with Us.—Christ a God's 'new' covenant" with men. It takes up and wonderfully encries all these ancient covenants with men. It means that God loves us, the worst of us, with a marvelous love; that he reaches out after us, so he longs to heap all joy upon us. It is a promise to be with us everywhere, help us in all difficulties, save us from all temptation, and bring us triumphantly home at last. Our Answer Covenant with God—Since God thus gives himself to us, what less can we do than give our loves to him? FIGURES OF A CROP IN WESTERN CANADA. How a Swan River Settler Has Succeeded. Bentito, Manitoba, Nov. 26, 1906. At Swan River Valley, in May, 1900, a settler took up a homescad on Section 30, in Township 34, Range 29 West of the First Meridan, at that time 50 miles from a railway, telegraph, school or church. There is now a railway within two miles of my farm, and all these other advantages close at hand. His story is: "After making my homestead entry fee of $10 I had $45.00 total (forty-five dollars) capital. Through doing homestead duties in slack times of the year, I managed to get a start. I am a married man of 28 years of age. "I built my first house, or shack, and broke up 8 acres, putting five acres in crop the first year." "This year, 1906, I had 80 acres in crop—65 acres in wheat, 20 acres of which yielded 850 bushels, or 42½ bushels per acre; 15 acres of oats, which yielded 355 bushels, and one stack of oats in sheaf for feed.

Indians in United States. In round figures, there are 284,000 Indians in the United States at the present time, 91,000 of whom are in Indian territory and 15,000 in Oklahoma, or 106,000 in the coming state. Those of Indian territory, the five civilized tribes—Cherokees, Creeks, Choc-taws, Chickasaws and Seminoles—have been managing their own affairs for two-thirds of a century, and are in all respects fitted for the citizenship which they are soon to exercise. All of these, and nearly all of those in the Oklahoma end of the coming state, wear civilized dress, and have schools, churches and the other accompaniments of civilization.—Leslie Churning Dogs. A curious point in regard to the new dogs act occupied the attention of the Carnorvan county bench on Saturday, says the London Daily Mail. The superintendent reported that eight persons had applied for exemptions in respect of dogs which were used for churning. Issard Davids inquired whether it had not been decided that to use dogs for such a purpose was cruelty, but several of his colleagues replied in the negative. The bench decided that the owners of the churning dogs must take out licenses. Oldest Man on Army Rolls The oldest enlisted man on the rolls of the United States army is Sergt David Robertson, of the hospital corps, station on Governor's island. He is a native Scotchman. He first enlisted May 27, 1854, and he has been in continuous service, having the extraordinary record of never having lost a day. He is 74 years old. BLOOD GETS SOUR. Every Family Should Make Up This Home Mixture and Take Now. At this time of year, says a well-known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teapoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all iric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health.

The process of drying and bleaching of the woods and strings by the hot Italian sun, rather than by the artificial method used in other countries, accounts in a great measure for the superior quality of both materials. This intense heat was also thus reason for the slow distillation of the oils used by the Italian makers, which always remained at a high temperature, and the varnish, slowly soaking into the woods of the violins beneath the heat of those Italian summers, produced, in part, the mellowness of tone that gives to a Cremona instrument its value, after a lapse of 200 or more years—March Circle.
