He has recently purchased a home at 3134 Lawton avenue, where he resides with his family. Mrs. Kent, who Twenty-Three Years Have They Journeyed Together and Today They Are As Happy as Can Be. Miss Emma Wilson and Mr. James Murphy were married twenty-three years ago and from all appearances they were mated. At the time they were married, they lived in Collinsville, Ill., with the mother of the bride, and her grand-father. There they remained until the death of her mother, father and grand-father. They lived for each other and soon bought property which they yet own in Collinsville, Ill., and are buying more property. A few years ago they moved to St. Louis, where they now live at 716 N. Jefferson avenue. Mr. Murphy is a Kentuckian and knew how to keep the jewel he got 23 years ago, and Mrs. Murphy knew how to keep what her husband made. They are both members of St. Paul chapel and are able workers in the church. This is perhaps, the secret of their success. Mrs. Murphy is of small statute and very pretty. She could be taken for a girl of sixteen years of age. Mr. Murphy is a true Kentuckian, six feet in height and well preserved. Two more devoted persons yo unever saw.

It will be time enough to boast when to-morrow is past. Happy is the man who never recognizes defeat and despair. When a man gets a reputation as a clever conversationalist you may be sure that he never will be famous. A New York woman who lost $20 at a card party called for the police and had the game broken up. She needn't expect to be invited out much after this. Hudson Maxim announces that he has completed an invention which will make armor-plate useless. This ought to help some more toward the establishment of universal peace. Government scientists claim that the eating of raw meat will enable people to become strong mentally and physically. It may be, however, that mental and physical strength can be achieved in more pleasant ways. If so they ought to be discovered. Premier Campbell-Bannerman says the British house of lords will be reformed. Owing to the fact that the lords will have to vote in favor of reformation before it can be achieved, there are strong reasons for believing that the premier is merely guessing. It is estimated that more than 1,000,000 hares are shipped from Maine every year and as many more used as food within the state. Notwithstanding this, and the fact that thousands of hares are devoured every year by beasts and birds of prey, this small animal continues to increase. Mile. Andre Corthis, still a young woman, whose poems in the volume entitled "Gemmes et Moires" have won high praise, has been chosen poet laureate of France for the year passed. The honor is one conferred annually by a vote of eminent literary people on the most distinguished poet of the year. It is Prof. Henry A. Sill of Cornell who has found a classical justification of the slang expression "23" in Plutarch's account of the assassination of Julius Caesar, where it is recorded that the cause of his farewell was 23 wounds inflicted by the senatorial conspirators. Some may think that this is silly. Lord Walsingham, acknowledged to be the finest shot in England, is probably the only man in the world whose aim is so accurate that he can shoot wasps on the wing. He is also an accomplished writer, one of the first entomologists of the day, a fellow of many learned societies and owner of the finest collection of moths and butterflies in the world. In the former douma last year there were comparatively few young men and many old ones, there being twice as many over 50 years of age as there were under 30. Now the proportion is almost exactly reversed. About one-fifth of the members are under 30, while one-tenth are over 50. Between those ages the majority are nearer the younger than the older figure, 40 per cent. being between 30 and 40, while only 30 per cent. are between 40 and 50. Analyzed by classes or parties, the moulik, or peasant members are the youngest of all and the reactionaries are the oldest. The World's Work obtains from the last census the surprising fact that among the working women of the United States there must be included nearly 2,000 stock raisers and drovers, almost as many fishermen and oystermen, and more than 1,300 miners and quarrymen. Also there are 167 masons, 126 plumbers and fitters, 879 watchmen and policemen, 196 blacksmiths, 113 wood-choppers, 154 boatmen and sailors, 100 lumbermen, 43 carriage and hack drivers, 26 switchmen and yardmen, 31 brakemen, 6 ship carpenters, 21 stevedores, 18 'longshoremen, 84 civil engineers and surveyors. In the great basin between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie the ghosts of many dead lakes. Rivers still flow down the dry edges of these one-time great reservoirs, and are licked up by evaporation and the Chinook winds. Of all the lakes that once lay there, only Great Salt lake, Lake Tahoe and Bear lake are left. The Southern Pacific rolls for 165 miles across the bed of what was once Lake Lahontan, and passengers gazing idly from the windows may see the terraces and wrinkles in the crust of the fossil lake which nature robbed and defrauded of its crystal treasures ages ago. Australia is arranging to establish a two-cent rate of postage on letters net only throughout Australia but with all parts of the British empire and all foreign countries that will deliver two-cent letters from Australia. The time is coming when two-cent ocean postage will be the universal rule. Once in awhile a foreigner makes a really sapient remark concerning the observations he has made in this country. An Austrian artist, for whom President Roosevelt "sat," declared that the president is ideally American because he could not keep him still. ESCAPES OFFICERS "GENTLEMAN BURGLAR" WENT TO GET HIS HAT. SUSPECT HIS CONFESSION IS FEARED Said to Have Implicated Prominent Citizens in Dougherty's Crimes. Peoria, Ill.—"Edie" Tate, the Chicago "gentleman burglar," who confessed to complicity in the Peoria school board safe robbery last January, and who incriminated prominent citizens of Peoria in his confession, escaped from St. Francis' hospital, where he had been taken on account of illness after his recent arrest. Tate's escape is believed to be part of a plot to enable men implicated in Newton C. Dougherty's embezzlement to escape being brought to trial. This plot began with Dougherty's incarceration in the penitentiary. The destruction of the incriminating evidence in the school board safe was the first result of the conspiracy. After Tate's arrest in New York, for dynamiting the school board safe, he was brought to the Peoria jail to await the action of the grand jury. A short time ago he complained of being ill, and was taken to St. Francis' hospital, where he recovered and was pronounced convalescent. Policeman Tom Brennan, who had been a trusted man on the force for 10 years, has been Tate's guard in the hospital. The two were out on the lawn in front of the hospital tossing a ball, when Tate excused himself for a minute. Went to Get His Hat. "I'm going into the house to get my hat. I'll be back in a minute," were his parting words. In ten or fifteen minutes the policeman became tired of waiting. He searched the hospital and the prisoner's room. All of Tate's effects were gone. His clothes had been bundled away and all were cleaned up. The entire police force is searching the city for the fugitive under Mayor Tolsen's orders to shoot him on sight if necessary. The mayor summarily dismissed Policeman Brennan from the force. DAVIS DEFENDS HAMMOND. Says Typewriter Inventor Victim of Conspiracy. New York—James W. Davis, one of the directors of the Hammond Typewriter Co., appeared at Bellevue hospital to champion the cause of James Bartlett Hammond, president and principal owner of the Hammond company, who is confined at Bellevue hospital pending an investigation as to his mental state. Mr. Davis wished to offer his services to Hammond, but was not allowed to see him. He said that in opinion Hammond was not only opinion Hammond was not only perfectly sane, but was the victim of "certain persons" who desired to see him sent away. JUROR'S WORD NOT ENOUGH. Court Dismisses Man, Then Has Him Rearrested. Boise, Idaho—The case of W. D. Yost, charged with contempt of court for an alleged effort to influence a juror on regular panel which will probably try W. D. Haywood for alleged complicity in the assassination of Gov. Steunenberg, was dismissed by Judge Wood of the district court. The court held that the affidavit of Juror Wagner, upon which Yost was called into court, was insufficient. Yost was immediately rearrested, however, at the suggestion of the court, under the Idaho statute making an attempt to influence a juror a felony. Young Elopers Are Intercepted. Tulsa. I. T.—Charles Rice and Laura Bingham, children of wealthy Sapulpa parents, eloped on an east-bound Frisco train, bound for Missouri. The girl's mother, soon learning of her absence, wired ahead and the pair was intercepted in Tulsa and taken home. Arm and Leg Amputated. Arm and Leg Amputated. Mount Vernon, Ill.-Guy Sawyer, 17 years old, of Dahlgren, Ill., died on a train while en route to this place from his home to be treated for injuries received at Dahlgren while trying to board a moving freight train. Beat the Motorman. New York—The sight of the mutilated body of a 16-year-old boy, who had been killed by a Coney Island surface car, transformed the passengers into a maddened mob, which beat into unconsciousness the motorman. Big Rain in New Orleans. New Orleans—a torential rain has flooded many sections of New Orleans. Water was more than a foot deep in parts of Canal street, where the big stores are located. The precipitation was estimated at over three inches. War on Green Bugs. Lawrence, Kas—Prof. S. Hunter of the state university has taken charge of the fight against the green bug in the wheat fields, and is being assisted by free telephone and express service and contributions from farmers and millers. Large Shipment of Coal. Pittsburgh—Four millions of bushels of coal were shipped down the Ohio river from this port, which is one of the largest shipments known at this time of year. $ ^{+} $ Louis Royal House No. 1 meets the first Friday night in each month at Free Reformers Hall, Pine and Jefferson 3rd floor at 8:15.

Spirited Contest Is Expected When Bill Comes Up. A spirited contest is promised in the house, when consideration of the public utilities measures is taken up as a special order, which probably will be continued until some definite policy has been established. Majority and minority reports are both pending from the committee on private corporations, and back of these are about thirty bills, no two of which are exactly alike, and yet they could all be divided into two general classes, subdivided several times. The committee is composed of thirteen members, and seven have reported a substitute, favorably, that provides for the regulation of utility charges by local commissions, with a court review clause. Six members of the committee—Sosey, of Marion; Barry, of Ralls; Kiefner, of Perry; McConkey, of Taney; Whitecotton, of Monroe, and Emerson, of Clay—reported a minority substitute which empowers the cities to regulate such charges by ordinance and also to provide for a local commission to aid in arriving at a fair rate to charge for all utilities furnished by public service corporations. Both measures will come up at the same time for consideration, and the presumption is that the contest will be to a finish. The main provisions of the minority measure, which will undoubtedly be pressed with as much vigor as possible, after giving the cities full power to enforce rates by establishing penalties for their violation, are as follows: "Any rate so established by any such city or town which is unjust and unreasonable, shall be void and unlawful, and all suits brought in the courts of this state against any such city or town to enjoin, set aside or annul any rate so fixed by ordinance, or any ordinance establishing any such rate, shall have priority in hearing and determination in the trial court and all appellate courts over all civil actions. "Any such city or town may, by ordinance provide for and establish a commission to make investigation of all the facts and matters touching the establishment of such reasonable rate of charge, and after such investigation such commission shall report its findings and recommendations to the city council." "And all such cities and towns shall have power and authority, by ordinance, to require and enforce the production of books and papers and compel the attendance of witnesses before the city council or any duly constituted committee or commission thereof for the purpose of ascertaining what is a just and reasonable rate." Good Roads Fund Not Available. A bill was passed at the regular session of the general assembly, appropriating $500,000 for a good roads fund, to be apportioned among the several counties of the state, the cities also to share therein. The money, however, will not be available this year, as the law, which becomes operative June 16, carried no emergency clause. An amount equal to that to which the county is entitled from the state must be applied to road purposes by the county. The fact that the funds cannot be obtained this year was disclosed by the application of Jasper county for $1,000 for the building of a road from Carthage o Cartersville, the citizens interested naving also collected $1,000. First Bill of Session Passed. One bill, the first of the session, was passed by the house Monday. It makes a fraudulent signature to a petition for or demonstrance against a saloon license a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $25 to $100. The bill was introduced by Representative Polk. Another bill, introduced by Representative Barker, providing that the possession of a government liquor license alone should be conclusive evidence of the illegal sale of liquor, was tabled. Enabling Act Sent to Senate. When the senate met Friday the committee on private corporations, of which Senator McAllister of Monroe county is chairman, reported favorably, without amendment, the Cooper bill empowering St. Louis, among other cities, to regulate the rates of public service corporations. This action was a severe blow to the corporation lobby. The lobby had confidently planned to delay action on the bill until next week. Liquor Shipment Bill. Representative McMurray wants to put a stop to C. O. D. liquor shipments into local option counties, and has introduced a bill, through which he hopes to accomplish it. His measure provides that no one shall keep, store or deliver for or to another except for the use of his own immediate family, any intoxicating liquor whatever in any county where local option has been or may be adopted. Violation of this act are made punishable by fine ranging from $300 to $1,000 for each offense. Lewis Quits Temporarily. St. Louis—E. F. Lewis has suspended publication of the Woman's Magazine and the Woman's Farm Journal. This was announced Monday morning. The suspension is temporary, and publication of both magazines will be resumed in October. Two hundred employees, mostly girls, whose duty it was to open the mail, were released Saturday, and about half that number of employees were dropped during the three weeks preceding. These 300 employees were about half the full force of the magazine publishing plant. Death in Saloon Fight. Macon.—In a saloon fight at Ardmore, Mo., near here, W. H. Yeakey, a blacksmith of Caseyville, Mo., shot and killed Finis Peterson after Peterson had emptied his revolver at Yeakey, shooting the latter in the hand and fatally wounding a man named Noble, a bystander. Peterson had opened the shooting when Yeakey interfered in a fight in which Yeakey's brother and Peterson were participants. No Hope of Clemency. Jefferson City.—A. Campbell McKibben of Clayton had an audience with the governor, seeking to secure a promise from the latter that the death penalty imposed upon "Lord" F. Seymour Barrington for the murder of James P. McCann in St. Louis county would be commuted. The governor told he could not confidently rely upon the action taken in the Aggie Myers case, in which a commutation was granted, as a precedent for the Barrington case. Jumps Off Eads Bridge. St. Louis.—An unidentified man, who appeared to be about 55 years old, jumped from the second pier of the Eads bridge Monday night. Those who saw the leap state that he must have been dead when he struck the water, as his head came in contact with the piers. One of the witnesses asserts he saw a reddish substance on the water near where the man went under. Spaugh Given a Respite Jefferson City.—Gov. Folk granted a respite of 60 days to William Spaugh, Jr., who killed Sheriff Polk of Iron county. Spaugh was to have been hanged in Reynolds county, where his case was tried on a change of venue. The case is being argued on appeal in the United States supreme court by Assistant Attorney-General Gentry. Baby Found Floating in River. Centerville.—A live baby, wrapped in an old quilt, was found floating in Big Black river by some fisherman. The child is only a few hours old. A rock had evidently been tied to it, but had loosened and allowed the babe to float. The child was taken to a farmhouse, given nourishment, and it may live. Dinner to Newspaper Man. Jefferson City—A dinner was given at the Madison hotel in honor of Curtis Betts, who has resigned as correspondent of the Post-Dispatch to accept a responsible position in the St. Louis office of the Associated Press. The dinner came as a complete surprise to Mr. Betts. Names New Judge. Jefferson City.—Gov. Folk was appointed Hickman P. Rodgers to be judge of the new court of general sessions in St. Louis. The announcement occasioned considerable surprise, as it was generally believed that the plum would fall to Judge C. Orrick Bishop. Speed the Shot Up. St. Louis.—Edward Bates, a merchant of Centaur, a little town in St. Louis county, near the Missouri river, distanced 10 shots fired at him Saturday night by two highwaymen, who endeavored to rob him as he was on his way to his home from his store. Fixes Sleeper Rates. Jefferson City.—Representative Stapel has introduced a bill to regulate sleeping car rates between points within the state. A lower berth is to be charged $1.50 and an upper $1.25. Opposes Pemberton Bill. Opposes Pemberton Bill. Columbia—The city council of Columbia has passed a resolution asking the legislature not to pass the Pemberton bill, which would make a prohibition district of the territory within a radius of five miles of Columbia. Consumption Sanitarium. Mount Vernon.—With the prospective opening of the Missouri tuberculosis sanctarium here next Saturday, the state will have inaugurated the first battle of the warfare against consumption. Students Fight Fire. Parkville.—Sherwood hall, a frame dormitory connected with Park college, and a one-story frame building used as a dining hall were burned. The dormitory was occupied by thirty girls, all of whom escaped, saving their personal effects. Ask for Anderson's Pardon Kansas City.—A petition to President Roosevelt containing 20,000 names, asking that he pardon Charles W. Anderson, was forwarded to Senator William Warner at Washington. ....Largest Floor in the City, for Colored People Only.... 331I-13 Olive Street. GENERAL ADMISSION, LADIES' FREE; GENTS, 10 CENTS.

CERTIFIED MARKETING SYSTEM The office of president of the United states, the executive place of the nation, it seems, will be used for the next two years to play politics. Never in the history of this country has that office been a place for dirty politics. It seems that when a senator will not bow to the will of the occupant of that office he, the president, will take his patronage to whip them in line. When he insulted the 10,000,000 of Negroes in this country by discharging the battle line of the 24th and 25th infantries, and then when he spoke through congress he warned the Negro to stay in his place; again, when he attended the Gridron Club in New York, he expressed himself in this language: "All coons look alike to me." Here he further insults the better class of Negroes. When a friend of mankind takes the part of the Negro, or humanity, he threatens to appoint a Negro in his state as an insult. Still, nevertheless, Senator Foraker of Ohio opens the campaign in Ohio against such actions as are introduced by the president. At last we have reached the point, "Last Sunday's News." The president sent for his hired servants of the government and said that he would send them in the south to allay the wrath of the Negro. It is now rumored that the president will take the register of the treasury, this man Vernon, to bring back the Negroes to the president, regardless of his (Roosevelt's) many insults to the Negro. When Vernon comes to Missouri and many other states he will find that the Negro of this country will stand up for their friend at all times, and the pleadings of the man Vernon will not soft-soap them. He is nothing more than a hired servant of the government, whom the president is using for his gain. The president will pass out of office and die, but the principles for which Senator Foraker is now upholding will never die. We hope that the Negroes will not forget their true friends that will stand up for them at all times. Certain candidates for the nomination for president of the United States and certain other men of high official position in the federal government who have a preference for those men for that high office are busy just at this time in gathering their lines around the Negro voters in the southern and western states, looking for the aid of the Negroes in shaping the personnel of the next Republican national delegation from those states, with the purpose in mind to control said delegation for their candidate. The Negro is now about to assume his quadrennial importance in the affairs of the nation, when he has until now been of such little consequence as not to merit even casual consideration at the hands of those men who would now flatter him into falling in their net. Will the Negroes of Missouri be flies to their brand of vinegar? or will they seek a bait less nauseating? Are the Negroes of Missouri to be caught by the doughbait of the eloquence of the fisherman from Washington and erstwhile of Kansas, who has received instructions from "Teddy" to "catch" them, or will they use their brains and think for themselves? There is a very decided feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction among the Negroes of this city because of the lack of fair dealing on the part of the Republican party managers and office holders who were elected last fall. Notwithstanding that the Negroes cast one-sixth of the Republican vote in St. Louis, they have received (excluding some janitor jobs) just six places in the various city departments, and this, in face of the fact that in the offices controlled by the lately elected Republicans, there is a total of two hundred and forty clerk and deputyships. While the Negroes did not expect to receive their full pro rata share, they are very much humiliated to know that their ten thousand and more votes are to be represented by those six appointments. When the small majorities which both Congressmen Caulfield and Coudrey had last fall is considered, it is plain to be seen that the Negro vote in their respective districts is what elected them, and by the same token where would the city ticket have been, from the circuit judges down to the license collector, had it not been for these votes, and then to be given six places. It is squarely up to the local party managers to change existing conditions if they hope for that interest and aid from the Negroes in the coming elections that has always been so cheerfully rendered in the past, and NOW IS THE TIME. The Negroes of St. Louis have just cause for complaint because of the lack of recognition shown them by the managers and office holders of the Republican party. It is true that little consideration has been shown them in the distribution of appointments and no regard at all displayed concerning the desires of the most influential and respectable of our race. On the other hand the leading colored men in the city, who unselfishly devoted their time to help bring success to the par- ave been completely ignored and their endorsements set at naught by the local party managers. We believe that a radical remedy should be applied and under the new election law passed in the last general assembly, we have means wherewith to do it. That law provides that all central committees both state and city, shall be elected by a direct vote of the people, thereby insuring against ring or machine-made managers, who too frequently are in power, to the detriment of the voters and party workers interest, with no other thought than the one of serving themselves, therefore, for the Negro to be in a position where he can do the most good for himself and party, it is absolutely necessary that he shall be a voter, and the first step is that he shall register and be eligible to participate in the primaries of his party, to the end that he may help to select such men for office, both executive and legislative as will give him a square deal. We appeal to every Negro to register, and to prevail upon his neighbor to register, thus raising ourselves to a position of importance to the party, and assuring up a voice in its affairs. Candidates Are Looming Up in All Places. From now until the dates of the different conventions and gatherings, men are being groomed for office. We hear of many candidates for the grand mastership of the U. B. F., and S. M. T. This is one of the largest orders in the country, and more so in the State of Missouri. The board met last week and done much good business. One hundred deaths have occurred this year, and the same has been ordered paid with a balance of $18,000 in the treasury. The grand lodge meets next August and the present candidates for office are Wm. H. Harrison of Jefferson City, Mo., C. C. Hubbard of Sedalia, and Dr. J. T. Caston of Jefferson City. For grand secretary of endowment, T. B. Burrows of Macon, Mo. For grand treasurer, W. C. Gordon of St. Louis. St. Louis must have two or three grand officers. C. H. Tandy and B. H. Bruce, members of the board are the two that will hold over. Other candidates are showing their claims. Watch the Paladium each week. A New Enterprise for St. Louis. Worthy of Attention.

LOUIS PALLADIUM A mushroom said the other day: "I am done wid Negro papers, as I don't want to be bothered wid dem men coming down here in dis white barbershop to get dat money, for I don't want dem white mens to see you talking to me, as dey say dat you are dunning me for dat money. Now, don't send it any more." I looked at that so-called mushroom and said: "What a pity that fellow was allowed out of the jungles of Africa." Yh is it that we do not get all that is or ought to be known? A LaSalle street girl got married a week ago to a boy. We can only say to the mother: "Keep the child's bed; she will soon come home again, unless the husband gets down to work." Many of the girls who go to school ought to stop, as their schooling will not amount to two cents. The half white Negro girls ought to stop their painting, for it entices young and old men to attempt to kiss them. But if they do kiss them they don't want another kiss, as if it was only a coat of paint and powder on an old yellow girl's face. In Want of a Preacher. Rev, A. A. Tolson, of De Soto, Mo., Box 983, has been called to be pastor for the Dead Beat Society. They have applied to the Palladium for his past record and of course we will give it.

We, the following delegates, were called to organize a new church, known as Zion First Baptist church of Benton. The church was organized in due and regular form, according to the Baptist usages, with Rev. R. James pastor. Messengers of the following churches were present: Rev. A. Lewis, Deacon J. H. Davis of Mt. Olive church of Kinloch, Rev. J. A. Jackson, Rev. Rabbey, Rev. G. P. Katte, Deacons J. Williams and A. Johnson, Rev. Joseph Armstead of Chambers Street church and Rev. Anderson of O'Fallon Baptist church. After they had received the hand of fellowship they were impressed upon to obey the text of the sermon preached by Rev. Lewis from Luke, 6th chapter, 47th and 48th verses: "Christ a Sure Fountain." LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES The Jefferson City Tribune and other dailies of the city contained the following on Tuesday, April 23: "The board of regents of Lincoln Institute held a meeting here Monday and re-elected President B. F. Allen for another term of two years. This is a splendid indorsement of the work of Prot. Allen as the head of this leading Negro educational institution of the United States." This re-election comes to President Allen as a special and well merited honor, for it is the first time in the history of the institution, so far as we have been able to learn, that a president has been elected to succeed himself several months before the close of the scholastic year. The many friends and admirers of President Allen in Missouri and throughout the country rejoice with him and congratulations are being showered upon him by members of both races, by members of his faculty and by the students. The entire race should be proud of the man who has brought Lincoln Institute to the front in numbers, in equipment and in all that goes to make up a great educational institution. Preparation for commencement goes on apace, and all friends of education are invited to be present The baccalaureate sermon will be delivered by the Rev Samuel Bacate, D. D., of Kansas City; address to the religious bodies by Rev. Dr. Cook, of St. Louis; to the literary societies by Prof. C. G. Hubbard, of Sedalia; to sophomore normal graduating class by Prof. C. G.

Jeanes, Quakeress, of Philadelphia. TO AID IN RURAL DISTRICTS Booker T. Washington and Hollis Burke Frissell Named Trustees. Philadelphia, April 23.—A gift of $1,000,000 for the establishment of a fund for rudimentary schools for southern Negroes was announced here tonight. The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Quakeress of this city. Booker T. Washington, head of the Tuskegee Institute, and Hollis Burke Frissell, president of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute, are named as trustees of the fund, but neither the institutions they represent will share in the gift. Mr. Washington and Mr. Frissell are empowered to appoint a board of trustees in connection with the fund. The Pennsylvania Company for Insurances on Lives and Granting Anuities of this city will act as fiscal agent for the trustees. Miss Jeanes, the donor, is about 80 years old, and comes from an old and wealthy family that has been prominent for more than a century in the Society of Friends. She has long been interested in the welfare of the Negro and has contributed to institutions for their education. The sum given by Miss Jeanes amounts to one-fifth her whole fortune, and is one of the highest amounts ever given to the Negro race. Thos. F. Slater, of Norwich, Conn., gave $1,000,000 for its higher education some time ago. An Enjoyable Affair. Probably one of the most unique affairs of the winter season was the picnic given at the residence of Miss Ruth Thomas, 2712 Lawton avenue, last Friday night. The dining room represented a cool spot on a picnic ground on a war summer day. The floor was covered with grass and branches of trees, and flowers formed the other decorations.

The grand financial rally that will take place at the First Baptist church on next Sunday. "Yes, I heard a little about it," but tell me something more about it. Well, there is an outstanding debt of $12,000 on the church, and the pastor and members decided two months ago that they would have a rally for the purpose of raising two thousand dollars on the fourth Sunday in this month, so as to reduce the debt down to ten thousand thereby saving the interest that would have been paid on the two thousand dollars. The members have been working very hard in their clubs, giving suppers, festivals, parlor socials, etc., trying to raise all the money possible for this purpose, hence their success has been remarkable thus far, but in order to dispel all doubt, the public are asked to join in and help to make this the greatest collection in this history of this church. in the history of this church. The Lone Star club No. 8, gave a live pigeon pie party at 2706 Lucas avenue last Monday night. An enjoyable time was had. Remember that the Sabbath day should be kept holy, but all the money you have you should not hold it. Rev. W. L. Perry, M. D., will preach at 11 a. m., and Rev. J. L. Choran will preach at 3 p. m., at each service it is hoped that one thousand dollars will be raised. The Sunday school and young people union has joined together to raise the interest money by the seventh of next August. It is quite certain they will do it. Rev. Geo. W. West, of 1720 South Second street, an influential Christian gentleman and a faithful member of the church, has been very sick for the last two weeks, but is improving at this writing. The church and all of the auxiliaries are getting along nicely just now. ..OUR SPECIAL.. CITY NEWS.

The period of instruction to beginners is from 8 to 9:30, when commences the reception for all who dance. The object of the Orpheus Academy is to teach correct department in company, and the most approved mode of dancing, walking, rising and sitting. One of the important features is that Mr. Jas. W. Grant, master of the academy, each evening introduces one or more of his own easy, graceful compositions, in which he has ingeniously incorporated every step, gesture and position known to advanced department and dancing, and they are presented in such an entertaining form that they are always rapturously encored.

In the few short years of its existence the influence of the Orpheus has grown to such an extent that no important function, public or private, is considered complete without one or more of its dances being introduced, and its pupils can be readily distinguished, even by a casual observer, from those who do not attend. At all times absolutely perfect order prevails. The management reserves the right to refuse admission to objectionable persons or to expel any pupil for disobedience or unbecoming conduct. At the request of a large number of parents, Mr. Grant has consented to instruct a class for children. The class will meet at True Reformers Hall every Saturday afternoon, from 4:45 to 6:30 o'clock, commencing May 11. The class will be for children only, and no grown persons will be admitted except the parents and guardians of children attending the school. It is the earnest desire of the management that as many parents or guardians accompany the children as can possibly do so, no fee being asked for their admittance. The price of admission to each instruction for the children will be 25 cents. All wraps checked free of charge.

There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disor- ago, drops set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disor- dered and passages of the secretions too frequent. On the advice of my husband I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Since using two boxes my trouble has not reappeared. This is wonderful, after suffering two years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y. GONE FOREVER. Ten years ago a farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors. The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors. Patronize your local merchant who helps you to pay your taxes, support your schools and churches, and lends a helping hand in times of sickness and trouble. Little One's Prayer Mary always gets a little piece of candy every day to keep her from being naughty. One day she was naughty, and she did not get her candy. That night when she was going to bed she said her prayers as follows: "Our Father, who art in heaven, please give me my daily candy." The Rev. W.

WEIGHT AND HEALTH THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED THE TONIC TREATMENT. This Woman Took Dr. Williams' Pink Pille, Gained Thirty Pounds and Has Been Well Ever Since. How many women—and men too—are suffering from a general decline in health which the ordinary remedies seem unable to check! How many husbands see their wives wasting away, steadily losing health and beauty, and are powerless to help! Consumption and other germ diseases find in these debilitated systems easy prey, for the lowered vitality is unequal to the task of fighting off the infection of these diseases to which most of us are almost daily exposed. The symptoms indicating the decline which may have results so fatal could scarcely be better described than in the statement of Mrs. William Manley, of 92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case is a typical one. She says: "For six months after the birth of my baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy headaches, which seemed like a rush of blood to my forehead, just back of my eyes. Some days they twitched so I could hardly see and black spots floated before them. The least exertion brought on this sickness. My appetite was poor and I was often sick to my stomach. "If I tried to work my feet soon became swollen, paining me terribly. I had sinking spells and grew pale and nervous. I was so thin that I weighed only 95 pounds. "One day when at the drug store to get headache powders I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills instead. I soon noticed that my headache was disappearing and my nerves gradually grew stronger. The pills gave me a hearty appetite and I now weigh over 130 pounds. I believe the pills to be the best tonic and builder a woman can take, as they certainly helped me when my condition was critical and I have never been seriously ill since." The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work. If you are ill and the treatment you are taking does not cure you, write for proof of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done in similar cases. Your druggist sells them or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Scheenady, N. Y.

When opened for use the table leaves are held up by means of two two-inch strips, 15 inches in length, one of which is fastened at each side of the stationary top, close to the edge, with a very large screw, on which it turns as a pivot. If the table is to set against the wall, suggests Prairie Farmer, the cross-pieces at the bottom are best omitted, as they prevent the table setting close to the wall, but when used in the center of the room the braces Boy's Desk and Work Table Open. add somewhat to the stability and appearance. When finished the table should be sandpapered smooth and given a coat of varnish stain of any preferred color. HOME-MADE ROLLER SKATES. The Handy Boy Can Make Them Out of a Barrel Stave. He is illustrated a simple style of roller skates. With these—which any boy can make in an hour with little trouble and expense—you are quite independent of frost, and can spend many a delightful hour, in summer or in winter, in flying, as if on wings, over the smooth surface of the roads. The illustration hardly requires explanation. The wheels you can perhaps make yourselves, or buy them; SOLID WOODEN WHEEL HARD WOOD SUPPORTS Fig. 1. Fig. 2. The Roller and the Skate Complete. the connecting bars, on which the feet rest, and to which they are bound with straps, are simply barred staves. You must be very careful in selecting these staves, and test them well before fastening your wheels on. The old-fashioned barrels were made of hickory and had just the right spring to make them ride easy, but the new fangled barrels are made of wood pulp, paper, and every old thing. Still, you can find the right sort if you try. A. Happy Combination. While four-year-old May was at the dinner table her mother asked, "Don't you wish for any potatoes and meat?" "No," May replied. "Why, where is your appetite?" "Oh, Jane will bring it in with the pudding," answered May. — Little Chronicle. DAINTY HOME EXPERIMENT. Instructive Amusement Found in Making and Using the Electroscope. Electricity is so common nowadays that we all want to know something about it. The electroscope is an instrument used for showing us whether or not a body is charged with electricity, and if so, whether the electricity be positive or negative. As almost all things have some electricity in them, you can find much amusement and instruction in discovering the kind by means of a home-made electroscope. A very simple, but effective one, can be made with a glass bottle. Clean and dry the bottle thoroughly, and insert in the cork a piece of glass tubing about an inch long. Get a piece of zinc and cut out a disk about an inch and a half in diameter, in which drill two holes, one in the center and the other near the edge. In the center hole solder one end of a brass or copper wire. Now get a little shellac and soften it by warming. Pour it into the glass tubing, and before it cools and hardens, run a piece of wire through it so that the disk zinc is about an inch above the tube. Slip the other end end of the wire into the bottle, and see how much you will have to cut off. When the cork is in place, the wire inside, bent at a right angle at the bottom, should reach to about the center of the bottle. Remove the cork and the wire, and cutting the latter at the right place, bend Details of the Apparatus. the bottom at right angles. Now try it again and see that it is right When all this has been carefully done, gum to the sides of the hook thus made two leaves of "Dutch metal." This can be bought from a sign painter. Each leaf should be half an inch wide, and long enough to come within an inch of the bottom of the bottle. Then insert the cork with the wire and leaves into the bottle, and the instrument is complete. To find out whether a body is charged with electricity, bring it near the metal disk, without letting it touch it. If it is electrified, the leaves of Dutch metal will fly apart, because the body draws to itself one kind of electricity and repels the other kind to the leaves. As they both become charged alike, they fly apart, because, in electricity, like reels like. But to know the kind of electricity possessed by the body we must go a step further. The electroscope must be charged with a kind of electricity that we know by touching the disk with a body whose kind we know. We know, for instance, that if a piece of wax be rubbed with a piece of flannel, the wax is electrified negatively. By touching the disk with this piece of wax we cause the leaves to fly apart, and on removing the wax they will remain apart a little while, if the instrument is properly made. If now you bring the body to be tested near the disk without letting it touch it, the leaves will either fly together or more widely apart. If the former, the body is positively electrified; if the latter, it is negatively electrified. Instead of the way just described, you can charge the electrscope by the body to be tested by touching the disk with the body, and then bringing near it a body whose kind of electricity is known. If the body be large it may be connected by means of a wire, as shown in the illustration, one end of the wire being hooked in the hole near the edge of the disk. Why the Boy Didn't Go. Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri has a very bright and precocious son named Bennett, who is about 12 years of age. The boy, like many other sons of members of the house, is apt to be on the floor when it is announced that his father will speak. One day Champ Clark made a set speech, and it was quite a creditable effort, winning for him praise from both sides of the house. But Bennett wasn't there that day. The next time he showed up he was asked to explain his absence. "Oh, pshaw," replied the lad. "I heard that speech no less than three times when mamma was teaching it to him at home. What did I want to hear it again for?" All of which goes to show that statesmen will occasionally rehearse at home. Dot's Composition on Boys. "Boys are men that have not got as big as their papas, and girls are women that will be ladies by and by. When God looked at Adam, he said to himself, 'Well, I think I can do better if I try again,' and he made Eve. Boys are a trouble. They wear out everything but soap. If I had my way the world would be girls and the rest dolls. My papa is so nice that I think he must been a little girl when he was a little boy. Man was made, and on the seventh day he rested. Women was made, and she has never rested since." 1 A MAD-DOG PANIC ENTIRE CANINE POPULATION OF INDIANA TOWN KILLED. FARMERS AID IN THE MOVEMENT Valuable Pets Go When Evidence of Rabies on Every Hand Corrives the Owners. Owensville, Ind.—Not one dog is left in Cynthiana, a condition that probably does not prevail in any town of 1,000 inhabitants in the country. The absence of man's canine friends is due to the fact that an epidemic of hydrophobia rages around the town. A condition without parallel in the state prevails there. On account of the extensive territory over which the epidemic rages, the attention of prominent bacteriologists of this and neighboring states has been aroused and they are investigating and watching the progress of the disease with intense interest. Naturally the persons living in the infected district are greatly excited and they have helped to keep the disease within its present confines by submitting to the mournful ordeal of having their dogs killed, a number of which were valuable. So alarming did the situation become at Cynthiana that the town council ordered the marshal, William Montgomery, to patrol the streets with a shotgun and kill every dog running at large. The marshal, who is a veteran of the civil war, carried out the edict without fidelity, and every dog in the community fell before his aim. So popular has the prejudice against dogs become that it will be a long time before they will be tolerated here again. So far the ravages of the mad dogs have been confined to cattle and horses, and luckily no person has been bitten, though many have had narrow escapes. ALLEGED SAFEBLOWER ESCAPES Former Superintendent of Schools Charged with Irregularities. Peoria, Ill.—Ed Tate, an alleged safeblower, who was held in this city on the charge of opening the school board safe and destroying the N. C. Daugherty script, escaped from the St. Francis hospital. He had been in the hospital for several days suffering from blood poisoning. Daugherty, a former superintendent of the Peoria schools, is in prison at Joliet for financial irregularities. The script supposed to have been destroyed by Tate contained, it is said, further evidence of Daugherty's guilt. Back to Take Up Arms. Coatzacalcos, Mex.—Former President Manuel Bonilla of Honduras arrived here direct from his own country via Salina Cruz. He declares he will await here the arrival of a steamer from the south which will bring a friend and will then proceed to Belize and from their back to his own country to take up arms. Granted a Respite. Columbus, O.—Gov. Harris granted a respite to June 7 to James Cornellus, of Canton, who was sentenced to be electrocuted Friday for the murder of his wife. The respite was granted in order to give the attorneys for the condemned man an opportunity to present an application for a commutation of sentence to state board of pardons. Another Lease of Life. El Paso, Tex.—Richardson, Mason and Harle, the Americans who are under sentence of death at Chihuahua, Mex. for murder to secure insurance money, were granted another lease of life when the federal court sitting in Juarez, after refusing a writ of habeas corpus, granted an appeal to the supreme court of the Republic of Mexico. Vice Consul Case Closed. Washington—It was said at the state department that in the view of the department the Eckstromer case is closed and there is no prospect of the restoration of exequator of that person as Swedish vice consul at St. Louis. It was added that there is nothing before the department relative to that case involving action. Canned Meat Kills Two. Wadesboro, N. C.—As the result of ptomaine poisoning, two members of the family of H. Jordan are dead and all the others, except Mrs. Jordan, are suffering from the same cause. The lives of two are despaired of. The family had been dining on canned meats, it is reported. Novelist Is Honored.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Dark-Cloud of Slavery.-Gen. 39:1:6. "In the anguish of his soul, Joseph was carried away past his father's green valley and deep well, past his mother's grave, past the very home at Hebron, on the distant heights."-Tomkins. The lad must have "thought, with keen grief, of his father and Leah and Dinah, in their dark, shady tents behind those hills, and of the little red-checked, laughing Benjamin running out and in."-Bird. "Put yourself in Joseph's place. The fondling of his father; with servants to wait on his every wish; and now, lashed to the side of a wagon in a slave caravan, and with the whistling whip of his Ishmaelite owner laid on his shoulder."-Whyte. The Dark Cloud of Temptation.—Gen. 39:7-12. In Potiphar's house Joseph was exposed to "the sorest temptation that can befall any one—to sin and prosper rather than resist and suffer."—Gekile. Joseph's is "the history of a man who kept his heart pure and tender, and who thereby gained that wisdom which comes only to the pure in heart."—Charles Kingsley. Light from the Cloud.—1. How brightly shone Joseph's character in the presence of this shameful proposal! His answer at once took the highest ground: (1) recognizing the fact that the deed would be a sin against God, and (2) that it would be base treachery toward his kind master. And so he did the best thing possible, he ran away from the temptress, though he must leave his coat in her hands. "It is better to lose a good coat than a good conscience."—Matthew Henry. The Dark Cloud of Slander.—Gen. 20:13-19. On Joseph's refusal of Potiphar's wife, "the rapid change in her feeling illustrates Milton's keen observation that 'lust' dwells 'hard by hate.'"—Dods. Her shameless accusation of Joseph to her husband was the harder for him to bear because she accused him with the very sin that he had refused to commit. This abominable misrepresentation, to the master who had trusted him so implicitly, was the darkest cloud that ever hung over Joseph. Light from the Cloud.—It is most striking to see how Joseph, out of pity for his master, refrained from accusing the wicked woman. "More men could be found who could thus have spoken to Potiphar's wife than who could have kept silent when accused by Potiphar. For his purity you will find his equal, one among a thousand; for his mercy, scarcely one."—Expositor's Bible. The Dark Cloud of imprisonment.—V. 20. "And Joseph's master . . . put him into prison." "That he did not at once order him to a capital punishment could only be because he had not the power of putting slaves to death."—Blakie. Or, perhaps Potphar did not really believe his wife's accusations. But, at any rate, Joseph's lot was terrible. Psa. 105:18 speaks of the fetters and chains, entering into his flesh. In Gen. 40:15 Joseph speaks of the prison, literally, as a "hole." The Dark Cloud of Neglect.—Vs. 5-15. V. 5. "They dreamed a dream both of them." "It is not surprising that three nights before Pharaoh's birthday these functionaries of the court should have recalled in sleep the parts they themselves used to play in the festival."—Expositor's Bible. V. 8. "There is no interpreter." "In Egypt it was the business of men trained for the purpose, called in Gen. 41:8 magicians and wise men, to interpret dreams, and to such the butler and the baker could have no access from their prison."—Ellicott. "Do not interpretations belong to God?" A glimpse of Joseph's real humility. Loyalty to Jehovah in that heathen land, he made essentially the same reply when asked by Pharaoh to interpret his dream two years later. Gen. 41:16. Note that "Joseph's willingness to interpret the dreams of his fellow-prisoners proves that he still believed in his own, that among his other qualities he had this characteristic also of a steadfast and profound soul, that he 'reverenced as a man the dreams of his youth.'"—Dods. "The ingratitude of the butter, inexcusable as it was, left Joseph in the prison until the moment came when he would be needed for a work of stupendous importance. While God's purposes were slowly ripening in the world outside, Joseph's character also was ripening into strength and self-discipline within the dungeon walls." —J. R. Miller. If the cupbearer had reported Joseph's case to the king earlier, "it does not seem that Pharah would have done more for him than transfer him to some other department in which he would have been still a slave." —W. M. Taylor. The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, composed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which were aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter bitters, a score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and finished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna. French Sailors Use Drugs. French Sailors Use Drugs.

H. "The failure of the church to reach the people is not only a numerical failure — numbers do not always represent power—but it is a failure in respect to quality as well as quantity. So far as the workingman, is REV. MADISON ty. So far as the workingman is concerned, the church is a 'closed shop'; it is an exclusive club, run for the benefit of its own members. The purpose of my movement is to get the principle of the 'closed shop' abandoned in the religious world. The ordinary Protestant idea of the church supported by those who like the preaching, with music to suit, is a club, not a church. "I have been 25 years in the ministry and have been pastor of churches that were called fashionable, and I know whereof I speak when I say that people seek churches for society and are excluded for social reasons. Christianity is served on ice, and the singers catch the chills in our sacred refrigerators. I have not in any sense left the church, only I believe, under present conditions in New York, I can reach more people, and do more good outside a church building than in it. It cannot be said that Christianity is a failure in New York, because it has not yet been fairly tried. I believe that the Kingdom of Christ is vastly larger than any church, and that the mission of Jesus has been hampered in its practical application by traditionalism. I believe the church mustack to Christ, and instead ofChrist as the center of a mere theology,I am preaching Christ as thebrother of man, as the reform forevery wrong, and as the rule for ourevery day life." For several years past God has been using a work among the Jews which has never done before. Until recently there was no New Testament Hebrew. In 1885 the first copies appeared. The demand for this has been so great that 600,000 copies have been printed. These have produced a curious change of thought and feeling respecting Christ. "Fifty years ago—except a few learned Jews—the Jews, as a body, hated the very name of Jesus. They used to show this concept in every manner they could do, but now all is changed. He is regarded as a great reformer, and many of them also assure us that he was the greatest man that ever lived." There are now thousands of Jewish Christian believers. An experienced worker states there are "at least 250,000 Hebrew Christians at the present time." Three thousand converted Jews are preaching the gospel. This movement toward Christ is a peculiar feature of the present time. the and age and three the emerg alf) bus big year Cub Fri New il A Unique Library.

ADVICE TO RHEUMATICS Noted Physician Tells How to Prevent and Cure Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder Troubles. (By Geo. Edmund Flood, M. D.) If you would avoid Rheumatism and Kidney and Bladder Troubles, be moderate in the consumption of heavy, rich foods, substitute as far as possible soups, broths, fresh milk and drink water—lots of water. Take plenty of time to eat, and don't eat after you have had enough, even if it does taste good. If your work is confining take a moderate amount of exercise each day in the open air. Of course, neither diet, water, rest nor exercise will cure these afflictions. I advise them as preventives only. For the benefit of the readers of this article who are now afflicted with Rheumatism, kidney, Bladder or Urinary trouble, and desire to be cured quickly, I give below, complete in every detail, the famous prescription which has made me so successful in the treatment of these diseases.

The war correspondent, Frederic Villiers, has recorded a talk with Bret Harte apropos of the poem, "Dickens in Camp:" "We all felt his loss most keenly in the States," said Harte: "On hearing of his death (I) sat down about three in the afternoon to write an editorial on the great author. I wrote one and then tore it up. Then another, after much pains, was written. This did not please me, so I tore it up. I wrote yet another and threw it into the waste paper basket; it would not do. It was getting tale, and I was now keeping the paper waiting for press. I was drumming on my desk, absolutely without another thought in my head; I had run dry. Suddenly I mechanically began to write and the result was the thing you seem to like so much. Well, Mr. Villiers, you are not far out. I like it, too." Shipwrecked Sailors Saved. Grippwrecked sailors. Eleven men, members of the crew of the Norwegian antarctic expedition ship Catherine, have been rescued after having been cast away on one of the Crozet isles in the southern Indian ocean, far off the track of commerce. They were found in exceedingly good health, having subsisted on penguins, sea elephants, albatross eggs and food from the depot placed there in 1880. The latter was not particularly wholesome, but the men got used to it. One bottle of whisky which was washed ashore was kept for Christmas. They were short of matches, and used only one daily, and made every effort to keep alight a lamp, owing to the severe cold. APPENDICITIS. Not at All Necessary to Operate In Many Cases. Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix.) A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then Grape-Nuts and got well without an operation. She says: "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion." (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest.) "Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-Nuts. "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 98 lbs., but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person." (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a form of digestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)

Saltcoats, Sask., 8th December, 1908. I willingly give you the result of my four and a half years' experience in the District of Saltcoats. Previous to coming here I farmed in Baldwin, St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and as I have heard a great deal about the Canadian North-West, I decided to take a trip there and see the country for myself. I was so impressed with the richness of the soil that I bought half a section of land about five miles from the town of Saltcoats. I moved on to the land the following June and that year broke 90 acres, which I cropped in 1904, and had 39 bushels wheat per acre. In 1905, with an acreage of 160 acres, I had 24 bushels wheat and 35 bushels of oats per acre. In 1906, with 175 acres under crop, I had 25 bushels wheat and 45 bushels of oats per acre. From the above mentioned yields you can readily understand that I am very well pleased with the Canadian West. Of course, I have had to work hard, but I don't mind that when I get such a good return for my labor. To anyone thinking about coming to this country I can truthfully say that if they are prepared to work and not grumble at trifles, they are bound to get on. Some things I would like different, but take the country all round, I don't know where to go to get a better. Yours truly, (Signed) O. B. OLSON.

There is a German dalryman and farmer, whose place is not far from Philadelphia, who greatly plumes himself upon the absolute superiority of his products above all others in the vicinity. On one occasion he personally applied to a Germantown housekeeper for a transfer of her custom to himself. "I hears dot you haf a lot of trouble with dot dalryman of yours," he said. "Yust you gif me your custom and der vill be no drouble." "Are your eggs always fresh?" asked the woman. "Fresh!" repeated the German, in an indignant tone. "Let me del you, madam, dot my hens nefer, nefer lay anything but fresh eggs!" BLOOD GETS SOUR. Gives Advice and Tells of Simple Home Mixture. 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 uric 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.

BOUGHLA, Brockton, Mass MRS HENRY LEE Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melanobia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizziness are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected. Mrs. Fred Certia, 1014 So. Lafayette Street, So. Bend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham— "Lydia E.
