NEWLY DECORATED The Modern Horseshoe Club and the Home of the Elks. The Sydnor Bros. have added another star to their crown in the art of paper hanging and decorating. The Modern Horseshoe Club, 2309 Chestnut street, and the home of the Elks, 2307 Chestnut street, are typical palaces, and hints of fairyland. They have been decorated by these famous and gifted paper hangers and decorators, the Sydnor Bros. We had the pleasure of inspecting the places from top to bottom and, as we passed from room to room, we were struck with astonishment to behold such grand work as was designed by these decorators. The paper is imported tapestry with white maria ceiling and a cluster of the stars and stripes at the four corners of the ceilings. In the sitting room of the home of the Elks the paper is designed to represent the Elks. The border of this particular room is magnificent, with the hounds in pursuit of the elks. After admiring the work of the Sydnor boys, we then proceeded to inspect the furniture. During this inspection we were still more observing. As we passed from room to room we could only exclaim: "Is it possible that such a club was under the control of Mr. Ollie Jackson, president of the club? We have seen many clubs that are owned by Colored men, but we say without fear of contradiction that this is the finest club in the United States for our people. Mr. Jackson and those connected with it have excelled all clubs in this country. The buffet is a dream of fairyland, with mirrors on every side. The furniture shows that there is in some way connected with this club the fine Italian hand of a lady that to a great extent has rendered this the most beautiful club in the world. Words are inadequate to describe it. Go and see and I am sure that you will get the Sydnor boys to do the papering and the lady or gentleman who has the money to carry on the work. It has not yet been completed. The painting of the houses, both inside and outside, will show that the Elks well deserve their name, and in speed they will be hard to catch. The Modern Horseshoe Club has by that design shown that everything will be lucky that falls that way. Still, we are yet aware that there is a resemblance of the Italian hand of some invisible person. The furniture and decorations for the two houses cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. Quin Chapel. Quin Chapel, A. M. E. Church, grand rally Sunday, May 12. Afternoon service will be conducted by the Rev. W. D. Cook, D. D., of St. Paul A. M. E. Church. His members and friends will be present. Rev. McFerren will be with us afternoon and night. Quin Chapel's excellent choir will render some choice music for the occasion, at which time we expect to raise $200. We ask the members and friends of other churches to come and assist us in our efforts. L. P. DUKE, Pastor. Children's Academy. Saturday afternoon, May 11, will witness the opening of the Children's Academy at True Reformers' Hall. Instruction will begin at 4:45 and parents are urged to have their children there by that time, in order that they may lose none of the preliminary lessons. Parents and guardians of children receiving instruction will be admitted free and are cordially invited to attend each session of the school. The wraps of all present will be carefully looked after by a lady attendant without any charge. As the school is for children only, no adults will be admitted except those who come with the children.

Both teams are in good condition and an interesting contest may be expected. To reach the park take Broadway through car to 6100 North and walk one block east. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1907. Providence Baptist Notes. The rain and cloudy weather last Sunday did not prevent a good attendance both morning and evening, and while the rally was not all we had planned it would be, yet we are delighted to be able to report over $107, and naturally there will be much more to follow next Sunday. We hope to see a great crowd at church Sunday morning. Immediately after after the service we will go direct to Mount Zion Baptist Church and baptize our candidates. The baptising will take place about 1 p. m. sharp. Mount Zion Church is in the twenty-sixth block, on Papin street, near Jefferson avenue bridge. The choir of Providence Baptist Church sang at Fifth Baptist Church last Tuesday night, very much to the delight of all who heard them. You ought to have been there to have heard what was said when they got through. If you don't believe this report, ask for yourself. Communion and covenant meeting at Providence Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. We hope all the members will be present to fellowship our new members who will put on Christ by baptism. Dinner will be served by the Financial Club for the comfort of our friends who may worship with us Sunday.

Who painted the hills with flowers so sweet and caused them to look so very neat and nourished them with the beautiful rain and spread their fragrant all over the plain? 'Twas God. Who created man in his own image, as you see, and made him Ruler over everything that be and breathe in Him the breath of life and gave Him the comfort of a sweet little wife? 'Twas God. Who gave each and every man the orders to work and said to them, 'Your duties you should never shirk; unite and you will be very strong, which will be helpful to you when the days are long?' 'Twas God. It is true that the hand of God is in everything that is good, and this fact was in evidence last Sunday at the first Baptist Church in the Sabbath school, covenant meeting and also the hodcarriers' meeting. The latter took place at 3 o'clock p. m. The superintendent of the Sunday school, Mr. M. Hamilton (who is also secretary of the Hodcarriers' union), had arranged for the meeting several weeks in advance. He and his corps of teachers spared no pains in training the little ones to sing and to look sweet on the stage, which was carried out to perfection. About half an hour before the hodcarriers' marched in, Prof. M. Hamilton had all of the children lined up in the chapel and then marched into the auditorium of the church. Flags in hand, they all took seats on the preacher's and choir stand and, as Mmme, Ella May played, they would sway, waving their flags, which was really the most beautiful scenery, as well as orderly, that was ever seen there before. Prof. M. Hamilton had provided a nice program for the occasion, which was managed by the master of ceremonies, Prof. R. L. Stuart: The meeting was opened by prayer. Song, "Joy to the World, the Lord Has Come." Welcome address by Deacon N. P. Hairston. The gentleman said many good things, which was full of interest. Song, "My County, 'Tis of Thee." Scripture reading by the pastor, Rev. R. H. Cole. Paper. Song, "All Hall Jesus," by the Sunday school. Sermon, by Rev. George W. Gaines, of the A. M. E. Zion Church, 2625 Morgan street. His text was, "My God will supply all of our needs." The reverend gentleman made a plain, everyday practical, as well as a spiritual talk, which was full of good common sense and made many feel happy. K. and D. of A. in the West. PHOTOGRAPHS!

Paper, "The Hodcarriers' Place, Psychology and Mental Morality," by Mrs. Olive G. Stuart. Report of the secretary, Prof. M. Hamilton. The report showed great progress in the Hodcarriers' union in the last few years, numerically, financially, etc., which puts the union in the foremost rank of all the labor unions in the United States among the Negroes, and from the looks of the members, it can be safely said that the majority of them have a bank account. There was a few remarks made by Rev. R. H. Cole and others, after which a collection was taken up amounting to $25. Prof. M. Hamilton performs a great service to the church in getting the Hodcarriers' union to meet there last Sunday and arranging everything so nicely for their entertainment. It shows that he is wide-awake, energetic and a Christian gentleman and should be kindly remembered by all the members in and after years. All the clubs together raised about $900 in the late rally. This was good and very good, but I would advise them to stick together and not disband, but keep up the good work, for if that is done, it is possible that they THE SEXTON To have a beautiful photograph is evidence that you are appreciat put out by picture makers.

Coal oil was first used as an illumina nt in 1826. On the Tombigbee river, Alabama, is enough limestone to supply a cement plant for 100 years. There are 19 women in the Finnish diet. The chances are that the clo ture rule will soon prevail there. A professor in Copenhagen university is said to chloroform plants. After several days they bud in great profusion. A large Filiplno Methodist Episcopal church is in process of erection in a prominent locality in the city of Manila. It is recalled that James Bryce is one of the very few men who have set foot upon the top of Mount Ararat. This was nearly 30 years ago. The mountain is over 17,000 feet in height. Between St. Petersburg and Tsarskoe Sole there is a special line, with a private station at each end, for the exclusive use of the imperial family. Every yard of it is constantly guarded, and the czar himself often drives the locomotive—of course, under the superintendence of the proper driver. Boycott against American goods in China has been suppressed. The American consul general at Canton reports a striking punishment for those who tried to further it in that province. The viceroy has compelled the association which promoted the attempt at boycott to turn over the money in its treasury to a public hospital. Thus money intended to make trouble will go toward alleviating it. The derelict is one of the great dangers of the sea. Hulks of abandoned vessels often float about for months and cover distances of thousands of miles, being of course a menace to every ship which traverses their vicinity. The government has done good work in ascertaining the whereabouts of such perils and blowing up and sinking the derelicts. A revenue cutter is about to be constructed which will be designed especially for this duty, in addition to her regular service. She will have great steaming radius. The village inn at Addington, England, has been tented by the members of one family since the reign of Henry VII. On the death of the mother of the present hostess she left no son, but only three daughters survived her. The three sisters in turn took possession, and the present hostess is the last of them. The Jolly Millers' inn & Newham, Cambridge shire, has been kept by a family named Musk for the last 400 years. It is recorded in Cambridge annals that Queen Elizabeth once stopped here and drank a quart of "ye olde English ayle" without getting down from her horse. A French writer on the subject accepts as correct the estimate that within the last nine years—the period which practically covers the development of the machines—not less than 550,000 automobiles have been manufactured, valued in the aggregate at a billion dollars. And he freely concedes that in this line of effort the United States takes first place. Considering the start the countries of the old world, particularly France were given, this admission is particularly interesting and highly compellentary to the land of the free and the home of the auto-lover. Citizens of a New Hampshire town which is infested with moths have shown that they know what patriotism means and what the flag stands for. One article in the warrant for the town meeting called for an appropriation to exterminate the moths, another for money with which to buy a new flag. The first was accepted, the second rejected. The people agreed that the old flag could serve every purpose of a hard-working and able-bodied flag for at least one more year; but they knew that the moths would not wait. The so-called sacred cattle of India, which have recently been imported into Texas by Mr. Borden of that state, were shipped from Karachi with the sanction and under the careful watch of the United States department of agriculture. Most of the animals were bulls. Should the expectation of the imperviousness of their hides to ticks and also their breeding qualities be demonstrated, it is likely that other shipments of India live stock will follow. Mr. DeGraw, the fourth assistant postmaster general, having examined the records of all the rural carriers in the country, awards the palm to a Malne woman, who has made her trips "in the face of rain and snowstorms which kept the entire community within doors." The conservative party of Cuba has adopted a platform the first plank of which advocates a continuance of American control in the island. The relation of Cuba to the United States is certain to be a political issue for many years to come KILLS FATHER WITH A PICK CRUSHED PARENT'S SKULL IN A QUARREL OVER CORRESPONDENCE WITH A GIRL. THREATENED TO PUNISH BOY When Pursued Into the Yard by His Father, the Lad Picked Up the Pick and Dealt the Fatal Blow. McLeansboro, ill.—Perry Lee, chairman of the board of supervisors of Hamilton county, died at his home, 12 miles from here, from a blow on the head with a pick dealt him a week ago last Monday by his only son, Charles, a lad of 15 years, in a quarrel over the boy's correspondence with a girl by the name of Brooks. The quarrel began in the house and the father, threatening punishment, pursued the lad into the yard, where the latter seized a pick which was on the ground and, turning, dealt his father a blow on the head which fractured his skull. The elder Lee fell unconscious and was taken into the house, lingering until Wednesday morning, when he died from his injuries. The boy had received a letter from the Brooks girl and the father, learning of it, had forbidden him to answer it. In spite of this, the boy began a letter, and when his father called him for supper last week Monday evening he found him writing it. The quarrel then began which ended in the killing. Perry Lee was a wealthy farmer of Hamilton county and well known. The boy has not yet been arrested. He is at the Lee home and is reported almost insane with grief at the result of his act. He had been rather wild the past year, his father having lost control over him, and quarrels had been frequent. THOUSANDS AT FUNERAL. Five Hundred Coaches and 4,000 Men on Foot Followed Cortege. New York—Patrick Keenan, late city chamberlain, was buried Wednesday. His estate will amount to about $200,000. The funeral of Mr. Keenan was the largest and most impressive since that of the late John J. O'Prien. Almost every prominent city official was present. There were 500 coaches containing friends. More than 4,000 men on foot followed the cortex. There were many pathetic scenes among the 20,000 men and women who crowded along the sidewalk as the funeral procession passed. Mr. Keenan during his leadership of 35 years had befriended nearly all of them in one way or other. BIGGEST LOCOMOTIVE. Pennsylvania Road Has the Largest Engine in the World. Pittsburg—The American Locomotive Co. has completed at its Allegheny plant the largest and heaviest locomotive in the world. It will be used for dragging the Pennsylvania 16-hour Chicago express across the mountains. The new locomotive with its tender weighs 204 tons, which is many tons in excess of the heaviest engine ever built before. It has three drivers on each side, the drivers being 80 inches in diameter. Just what the monster will be able to accomplish in the speed line will not be known until she is given a trial on the road. A. L. A. Program Announced. Boston—A tentative program for the 29th annual conference of the American Library association to be held at Asheville, N. V., from May 23 to 29, was announced here. The speakers will include James L. Gillis, of California, president of the National Association of State Libraries. Prayed for Home Rule. Boston, Mass.—During his invocation at the opening of the state senate Wednesday, Chaplain E. A. Horton prayed for the success of home rule in Ireland. Found Dead in Her Room. El Paso, Tex—Miss Mattie Waterton, aged 26 years, said to be a niece of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, was found dead in her room here. The cause of death is given as heart failure. Twenty-One Killed in Riot. Yekaterinoslav, Russia—There has been serious rioting in the Cossack village of Kavkazskala, in which 21 persons lost their lives. Troops have been sent. Charged with Fraud. Washington—The case of Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., former assistant statistician of the agriculture department, involving a charge of conspiracy to defraud the government by permitting the leakage of cotton crop statistics was set for trial on June 3.

Ten years experience. --- Brizzard Kills Cattle. Kansas City.—A well developed, old fashioned January snowstorm, the kind in which rain intermingled with sleet and snow, paid its respects to a greater part of Kansas and Missouri Friday. In Missouri the heaviest fall of snow seems to have been at Chillicothe. At 6 o'clock Thursday night the ground there was covered to a depth of 6 inches and the storm was continuing with no prospects of immediate abatement. The temperature fell 40 degrees during the day. The farmers had great difficulty with their stock during the storm, as it came suddenly. A number of young cattle perished. Farmers were planting corn at Chillicothe Friday morning whent he snowstorm came. Captured by Mail Carrier. Captured by Man Carrier. St. Joseph—James Rowlett, a Wabash brakeman, was brought here from St. Louis and lodged in jail after he had escaped from United States Deputy Marshal J. P. O'Hern and was recaptured by a rural mail carrier. When the Burlington train slowed down for Laclede, Rowlett sprang from his seat and jumped through a car window. The officer lost trace of him, but a rural mail carrier who had heard his description over the telephone, arrested him later in the day. Rowlett is charged with the burglary of a bonded freight car. Duel Over Girl's Hand. Kansas City.—In a duel for the hand of M. Fannie May Hughes, a dark eye, belle of Independence, Van Doran Tappen, 17 years old, shot and killed Clyde St. Clair, 25 years old in the town square of Independence. Both of the young men had been attentive to the young woman and much rivalry was manifested to obtain first place in the girl's affections. The tragedy followed a party in Kansas City, to which St. Clair had not been invited. St. Clair was the son of George St. Clair, street commissioner of Independence. Adjournment Monday Planned. Jefferson City.—The caucus of democratic senators agreed to adopt the senate resolution to adjourn sine die Monday, with an amendment that no new legislation is to be considered after noon Saturday. Senators Cooper, Felds and Dowell were appointed to draft amendments to the Botsford local option law, which is pending in the senate for third reading. Folk Will Save Crane. Kansas City.—Gov. Folk stated that he would issue an order suspending the sentence of death in case of John M. Crane, who was to have been hanged on May 11 for the murder of his wife, and would order his commitment to the asylum at St. Joseph. Physicians who examined Crane found that he was insane. Crane formerly was a well known Joplin mine operator. Oil Magnate Surrenders. St. Louis.—At 10 a. m. next Saturday H. Clay Pierce, millionaire oil magnate, must appear in the United States district court for trial on its merits of his habeas corpus proceeding against Chief of Police Greecy to prevent extradition to Texas for trial there for perjury. Pierce, through his attorney, surrendered to the St. Louis police at noon Wednesday. Napoleon's Cannonier Is Ill. St. Louis.-Louis de Faux, once a cannonier under Napoleon III., is slick in the city hospital here. Wounded in the battle of Gravelotte, De Faux has been able to do little but gardening since. He has been in America for many years, coming here after three months' imprisonment in a dungeon in Baden. --- River Cuts Away Summer Resort. St. Joseph.-Col. J. B. Quinn, government engineer in charge of the Missouri river, and W. R. DeWitt, one of his staff, were in St. Joseph Friday, making an inspection of the river bank opposite Lake Contrary, where the Missouri has been cutting rapidly, and threatening to despoil the summer resort of St. Joseph. Engineer Killed. Jefferson City.—Jacob Renner, engineer at the Jefferson City electric light plant, was instantly killed by being caught in the large wheels. No one witnessed the accident, but it is supposed that a broken belt struck Renner and caused him to loose his balance and fall into the wheel. His body was badly mangled. College Society Gives Comedy. Appropriation Bill Passes Hours. Jefferson City.—Without debate, the house Friday passed the general appropriation bill by a vote of 110 to 10. There was no further fight made on the supreme court item, which has been the bone of contention. These figures tell the story in brief as to this bill: Appropriated from general revenue fund, $1,413,320.21; appropriated from special funds, $2,217,589.36. Total, $3,631,209.57. The bill will be read in the senate for the first time Monday. It is not likely to encounter any opposition there. Missouri Legislature To Adjourn May 13. With one dissenting vote, the house Monday adopted a resolution to adjourn sine die Monday, May 13, at noon. It is the general opinion that the senate will concur in this resolution, although there is a little talk about adjournment next Saturday. Under the terms of the house resolution no bills can be considered for passage after next Friday noon, and the remainder of the time must be devoted to reading and comparing enrolled bills and concurring in or rejecting amendments to measures that have already been considered by both houses. The way for adjournment was partly cleared by the senate when it passed the house bill appropriating money for the expenses of the extra session. It amended the measure, however, by striking out an item of $5,280 appropriated to pay the stationery accounts of the members as individuals, allowing each $30. The bill as it passed the senate, appropriates $75,000. Pass Cooper Enabling Act. By a vote of 121 to 11 the house Thursday afternoon passed Senator Cooper's enabling act, with the adoption of one slight amendment, which, it is believed, will be acceptable to the senate, to which it must be returned. The first test of strength came when Representative Harris offered an amendment, to which Representative Cross offered a substitute. The substitute was adopted by a vote of 75 to 62, showing all the members present but seven. This indicated a sufficient number to pass the bill, but 72 being required, though it gave no indication of the practically unanimous vote which followed, when the measure as amended by the substitute was put upon its final passage for the adoption of the bill. It came as a surprise to even the friends of the bill. Pemberton Bill Is Amended. For the purpose of making it more nearly conform to the senate bill, that it might at least have a chance of passage, though there is abundant reason to believe that the obsequies may as well be ordered, the Pemberton bill, sent to engrossment a few days ago, was reconsidered in the house Thursday, occupying practically the entire session, that it might be subjected to amendment. House Bill Passed Senate. The first house bill to get through the senate passed late Thursday afternoon. It was the Crossley bill, providing that cities of the third class shall have the right to vote franchises for lighting purposes by a majority instead of by the two-thirds, as is now the law. The measure only remained passed a few moments, as Senator McDavid urged that it be reconsidered, as it was establishing a most dangerous precedent. This action was taken and the bill was called back and lald on the table until Friday. Pass Dramshop Petitions Bill. The senate passed the house bill making it a misdemeanor to use names fraudulently upon dramshop petitions, and remonstrances and also the house bill prohibiting the selling or giving away of liquor on a general election day or the day of the state primary. It was amended in many particulars, the most important change in the measure being the amendment offered by Senator Gardner, which excepts wholesalers who sell on such days in the regular course of their trade. Liquor Tax Substitute Adopted. The house adopted the committee substitute and ordered it engrossed for the bill proposing a tax of 10 cents a gallon on distilled liquors manufactured in this state, placing their inspection under the beer inspection department. The substitute reduced the inspection fee to $2 \frac{1}{2}$ cents per gallon and exempts vinous liquors and denatured alcohol. Bill to Pay Solons Passes. Bill to Pay Solons Passes. Both appropriations bills were acted on in the senate. The general bill was read the first time. The other, for paying the expenses of the assembly, was passed, after the adoption of an amendment striking out $5,280 for postage, or $30 for each member of the assembly, had been adopted. Tax for Liquors. As the result of the hearing given to representatives of the distilleries by the ways and means committee of the house Thursday night, a substitute will be reported for the bill introduced, proposing to tax distilled liquors 10 cents a gallon. This substitute will recommend a material reduction, providing that the tax be $2½ cents per gallon on whisky, and that vinous liquors and denatured alcohol be exempted from the tax. The house passed an appropriation bill carrying $80,280 Wednesday, $60,000 of which is for the payment of members of the assembly, $15,000 for contingent expenses and $5,280 for postage. This item for postage, to each member $50, was incorporated into the bill before the opinion of Attorney General Hadley that it could not be paid under the constitution was received by the house. The Noyes bill, seeking to fix the tel phone rates of Kansas City and St Josph, was passed in the house by a ote of 84 to 18 S. M. T.'S Meets the 84 Wednesday in each month at 4 p.m. at U. B. F.

MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION I believe that any man's life will be filled with constant and unexpected encouragement if he makes up his mind to do his level best each day—that is, tries to make each day as nearly as possible reach the high-water mark of pure, unselfish and useful living.—Booker T. Washington. Let the white people of the north and the south conquer their prejudices. Let the great northern press and the pulpit proclaim the gospel of justice and truth against war now being made upon the Negro. Let the American people cultivate kindness and humanity. Let them give up the idea that they can be free while making the Negro a slave.—Hon. Frederick Douglass. We live upon the soil which has been hallowed by the sweat and tears of our fathers. Shall the stranger, who is but of yesterday, be taught to despise us in our own home. Whatever their antecedent and value to the state, compared with us, they are strangers.—Rev. George E. Stevens. When race prejudice shall have died, when men shall be judged by their worth, by their work, by their intention; when history shall look impartially on and judge him and the men of his times, no name will be written higher upon the roll of honor as a philanthropist, as a patriot, as an orator, as a leader, as a liberator and as a benefactor to his country nd his race will be that of Frederick Douglass.—Hon. J. C. Napier. We have learned in the hard school of adversity that we are not the wards of any political body; that the improvement of our condition in life is not the solicitude of any particular section of our country, and that the days of our political bosses are overforever; that we are the architects of our own fortunes and the arbiters of our own destines.—Hon. J. S. Settle. —Our Political Contributor. The time is past when men under the guise of preaching sermons are permitted to go beyond the bounds of reason, so much so as to bellittle the dead, because of some shortcoming during their life, or to speak of some misunderstanding they had with the deceased, and to show that they have begged their pardon, when living. We hope to see the time come when these swell heads will pass out and Christian men to the front. When men pretend to preach sermons over the dead they should not forget that the deceased before them was but a mortal, and did at some time err in their judgment, but before he died all was well with them and their God, and no man should speak of their shortcomings or say they were uneducated; for the deepest-dyed villains today are some of the well-educated people and some of them are called ministers of God. Since a race can not rise above its women, I plead unceasingly for our young woman who are to be the mothers of the future men and women of our race. When we behold their loose habits, loud laughter and boistrous department, which seems as though they had sacrificed every admirable attribute of feminine endornment, oh ministers of the gospel and teachers of our schools, teach them to cultivate high moral tendencies and to draw the line between vice and virtue. A man without a principle is nothing. When we make a contract, we man verbally, that is our bond. We do not ask a written contract. Some men make a contract for three months then fall to comply. We will know your next time and demand cash for the work. The Republican party received our votes that helped to elect their ticket last fall. What has the Negro received? Nothing. Will the present office-holders again appropriate for their selfish purpose the Negro votes? The answer comes back from the 8,000 Negro voters of St. Louis: No. We have sent out about 25 letters to white men who have been subscribers to the Palladium for more than six years, only one has refused to continue, that was an old weak-kneed republican, who said we were fighting the party. We are not, but we are fighting such weak-kneed republicans as he. I may call his name. We are only demanding the rights of 10,000 Negro voters. We hope to get along without him. Unjust Discrimination. The failure of the local republican party managers to give to the Negro due consideration in the matter of appointments has engendered a feeling of animosity and discontent among them that will very likely result in an organized movement by the Negroes to even up scores at the next election. They are particularly incensed against the men elected last fall, because of lack of fair dealing, claiming that without their votes at the last fall's election the republicans would have been defeated, and point to the result of the spring election, when the Negro, on account of this feeling of dissatisfaction, refused to support the ticket as an evidence of the value of their support. All classes of organizations—social, political, fraternal, and even those of a religious nature among them—are interested, and will join forces in an effort to get that recognition that in their estimation is due them. This action has been indorsed by the leading Negro business and professional men, and will have the assistance of the ministers of most of the churches as well. Their idea is that the matter should be considered by them more from a racial than a political standpoint. When the democrats were in complete power locally, they were given more appointments than they now have; that in the city departments when under democratic control employed Negroes whose places have since been filled with white men, when the republicans took charge, and while the majority of the Negroes are republicans, they feel that their influence will probably be stronger politically by voting against the crowd of republican leaders who now dominate the party's affairs; that promises made them by said leaders during the campaign last fall have been totally disresearched, and instead of places of trust and respectability, they were given a few janito riobs. The faith of the Negro in the local republican has been unduly shaken and they now intend to vote for men rather than the time-honored principles so long shouted for: S. T. Pettigrew has his eye on the endowment secretaryship. Some say he is a sure winner and no one else need apply. W. C. Gordon, of St. Louis, is a sure winner for Grand Treasurer, and he is entitled to it by the large revenue paid in by the St. Louis lodges; all the delegation from St. Louis will go to the Grand Lodge as a unit for him. Dr. Queen has served four years and the constitution says he must get out, Let St. Louis have it. The official organ of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. will see fair play, and whatever any candidate may wish to say, the columns of the Palladium are open to them. W. H. Harrison, secretary of the Grand Lodge, is out working for the office of Grand Master, but we are informed he got mixed up in a deal with his lodge in Jefferson City. He must explain or something might be heard. C. C. Hubbard, the Endowment Secretary, expects the Grand Mastership to come to him, by his work. We say to him: You had better make a good, clear record before you ask for higher honors. B. K. Bruce must leave the board of managers, and also Dr. Caston. Where will they fall? Mr. S. E. Howard, of Independence, Mo., one of the best workers in the order of U. P. F. and S. M. T., and the best organizer in the order, is doing great work, and I would not be surprised if the Grand Lodge would elect him Grand Master next August. Dr. J. T. Caston, of Jefferson City, is a candidate for Grand Master, but as a doctor, he wants it to come to him on a silver platter. We wish to say to the doctor that that time is past. Men must work as they see the bishops work for their honors, and as the candidates for president of the U. S. do. So, get out and do likewise. We believe that all men should travel on their own merits and not attempt to steal the good name of others. The only Sam "The Tailor" is at 204 N. 14th street.

The Palladium man formerly had his clothes made by him, but of late years he has been too poor to have clothes made to order, and now gets them as best he can, but young men who want an up-to-date suit, go to 914 NOTICE. Any article sent to this office for publication must be accompanied by the money—5 cents per line—otherwise it will be thrown away. See Friedman's "ad." He is our friend.

The lady who said the Palladium man would never get well, was there. Oh, you should have seen her. When she looked at me, she thought of the skillful work of Doctor Stafford. Childrer's Class at The Orpheus. The Orpheus Academy of Department and Dancing holds its sessions in True Reformers Hall every Friday evening, from 8 to 12 o'clock. 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 deportment 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 deportment and dancing, and they are presented in such an entertaining form that they are always rapturously encored. Many persons, themselves graduates in the art of terpsichore, attend regularly the reception (bring with them friends that they wish to entertain) for the sole purpose of witnessing or taking part in this innocent and exhilarating amusement. The academy, like our public schools, is not for any particular set or class, but for all. It stands for the best in everything. In short, it is a high class educational institution and a credit to the city. 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 prevalls. The management reserves the right to refuse admission to objectionable persons or to expel any pupil for disobedience or unbecoming conduct. During the heated spell large double rotary electric fans keep the atmosphere at a comfortable temperature. 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. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Ladies auxiliary will hold their regular meeting Monday, May 20, at 8 o'clock p. m. The first baseball game of the season between Y. M. C. A. and the Summer High school will be played Thursday, May 16, 3:30 p. m., at Keubler's Park, 6100 North Broadway. Take Broadway through car. The revival meeting conducted by Evangelist J. T. Brown, at the Y. M. C. A. is proving very beneficial. All men, saints and sinners are invited to take part in the meeting. The association, through its financial committee, composed of Drs. Fields, Curtis, Bell, Lawyer Inge and others, is planning a financial campaign to raise funds to pay off the building debt and current expenses for the year 1907. The Washington Association has raised $24,000, Kansas City, $2,000, Indianapolis, $2,000; St. Louis will do her part. THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST The above cut represents H. E. Hofer, attorney at law, who defended Mrs. Phoebe McElroy Feb. 27, 1906, char ed with stealing a lot of bed linen, napkins, pillow cases and a pair of shears from Mrs. Udora Leonard, of 3899 Washington boulevard, securing her acquittal. Mrs. McElroy was arrested on the 20th day of February, 1906, at the instance of Mrs. Leonard, and while the trial was in progress Mrs. Leonard became very angry with Mr. Hofer when, under cross-examination by him, said she did not have to answer a "Nigger," whereupon she was fined $10 by Judge Hiram N. Moore for contempt of court and insulting an officer of the court. Mr. Hofer afterwards filed suit in the circuit court against Mrs. Leonard for false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and slander of Mrs. McElroy, and, after a long legal battle THE WEEKLY NEWS Mrs. Katie L.

THE SELIKA CHURCH SOCIETY which meets at True Reformers Hall, every Tuesday evening at 7:45 o'clock was organized to fulfil a long felt need—the building up and maintaining of an efficient permanent band of mixed voices for singing Grand Choruses, Church Music, Fantastas, Oratorios, Operas, etc. All who love good music, whether they sing or not, are cordi- over dilatory pleas, succeeded in securing a judgment against Mrs. Leonard for the sum of $150, after a two days' trial, ending on the 7th day of May, 1907, in courtroom No. 5. Mrs. McElroy, who conducts a 12 room rooming house at 2146 Walnut street, in commodious style and at reasonable rates, was highly elated over her final vindication, and was free in her praise of Mr. Hofer's able work in both cases. Mr. Hofer was agreeably surprised when Mrs. Leonard approached him on the 7th inst. and assured him that she had no prejudice against the Negro race, and said that she would not have respected him if he had failed to discharge his sworn duty to his client. Mr. Hofer can be found at his new office, 2234 Market street, the headquarters of the new firm recently organized, whose ad appears in another column of this paper.

Ster ling, a merchant of Honskeug. “That vessel was the Colerado, and {t landed in Hongkong in 1869, It was the first day of January, and there was @ big crowd of people of all nationalf- tles to see her. Being a side-wheeler of the old-fashioned type, she was a curiosity. At the request of Isaac J. Allen, the American consul general, the ship gave an excursion around the {sland on which the city is situated. was among the’1,200 on board. It was a gala day. Whistles blew, people shouted, and numerous small sailing Doais and tugs escorted us. _ “As I remember now, the vessel be- longed to the Pacific Mail Line and sailed from San Francisco. She made the trip of 8,000 miles in 30 days, and when she arrived was in perfect trim and good order. Everybody realized that it means the beginning of the great development of the Pacific.” ‘The Estimable Family. “Reynolds,” sald Millionaire Banks to his valet, “go ‘round to the house of that little girl whom I ran down with the auto this morning and ex. tend ‘to the family my sincere regrets and sympathy. Also give them this $50 bill. I understand that they are very poor and in want.” Accordingly the valet obeyed. When he returned his master met him at the door. “Well, Reynolds?” “The father wished me to say, elr, that he hoped you wouldn’t take the affair too much to heart. As for the family, they all feel very grateful to you sir, and couldn't bring themselves to accept your very kind offer.” “A most estimable family! Yet 1 wonder why they didn’t accept the money?” “The father said such matters should be arranged through his law- yer, sit."—Judge. A Fish Story. “Trout protection! Nonsense!” satd @ gunner of local eminence. “Trout are amply able to protect themselves. Look at thelr depredations among ducks, for exemple, and you will agree with me that it’s the birds that need protection. It’s a common thing for a trou to jump from the water, seize a duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate fowl into the depths sufficiently to leave its feet sticking in the air, where ft can get no purchase upon the unt- verse, and thus drown it. Then tho trout picks the feathers from the bird, eats it at its leisure and swims away ‘out of the jurisdiction of the courts. Are there any fishermen? None? Too Dad.

Many Kinds of Biscuit and Cake, and of Course Jam, Are Served at This Increasingly Popu- lar Function. Since the custom of taking aft- ernoon tea is not only well estab- lished in this country but now in danger of becoming an untimely feast, it is astonishing to note the humerous little dainties and extra trimmings which are being served to pique and delight the appetite. It is no longer merely a cup of tea and a slice of'thin bread and butter that may be expected between four and 5:30 o'clock; jam has beca added to the list and often hot Scotch scones and English muffins. Pesides the tea table proper there stands usually a sort of rack table, pyramidal in shape and having three shelves, one above the other and round like plates. Each one is covered with attractive china holding some fascinating bis- cult or cake, Jam of one or two kinds Is suggested in between them and aftet the hostess has ascertained which jam and biscuit her guest pre- fers she spreads it for him herself before passing it on a smali plate. This ttle attention appears very gracious.

This is a very pretty frame, the gold embroidered silk being most effec. tive. The sketch shows just a quar. ter of the frame in its full size, so that the silk should be cut from this with onehalf inch turnings at each edge. A medium shade of olive-green is used for our model, and the simple embroidery pattern is worked with gold-tinsel embroidery thread, and a tiny littie gold braid, which edges the opening, and is put on in a waved line.

Other hostesses have fine, small, flat wafers of whole wheat cov- ered with chocolate in their own Kitchens before serving. They are then above reproach to pass with tea. The biscuit itself is digestible, the chocolate tasty and nourishing. Bis- cuits covered with cheese, on the contrary, while highly agreeable to ‘the taste, are avoided by those hyper careful about their diet. f Strawberry jam is undoubtedly the faycrite for spreading on English muffins. Blackberry jam or guava is chosen to spread on the health food biscuits, especially those made of graham or whole wheat. Scotch ‘scones ate spread only through the ‘middle with fresh butter. ‘These ‘scones are very similar to old-fash- foned soda biscuits and are invariably ‘served hot. In size they are little Jarger than a quarter of a dollar. The ‘number that some people can make disappear is therefore readily coun- ees Wafer toast finds a place at after- ‘noon tea. In making it the bread is cut as thin as possible and it is then toasted until extremely crisp. It is eaten dry or with jam, but it is never buttered. - When cake appears at afternoon tea the fashion rages for a rich pound cake showing through it many large raisins.

And this season’s models are worn more to the back of the head than of yore. It is a new feature to be noted in the smartest modes. ‘The mushroom shape will grow in popuiarity as the warmer weather comes, for while it answers every purpose of beauty, one of its main objects is also to afford protection from the sun.

One of these ribbon garnitures, made from opalescent moire, with a narrow black edge, had two fine black silk tassels dangling from the forked points of the “swallowtail” effect into which the ends were divided. Another sash made for a charming biscuit colored costume, was likewise of moire rit bon, in this exsé plain black, tied in a high bow at the back, the hems being finished with fringe. Still an other was made cf delicate chine rib bon having an exyuisitely variegated fringe harmonizing with the floral colors of the sash. ‘ To Renew Smelling Salts.

C, 1101, according to Ussher. Second year of famiine and 2 years after Joseph was sold Into Egypt. PLACE.—Heliopolis in. Egypt,-on the Nilo, near the head of the Delta; or Zoan, near the outlet of the tanitic mouth of the Nile. About 250 miles from Heb- ton, Jacob's home. Comment and Suggestive Thought. ‘We are now to trace the steps by which Joseph's brothers were trans- formed from haters into lovers. We left them, a set of bitter-hearted, eruel men, with virtual murder on their souls and their brother's bloody gar- ment in their hands, telling their old father a le that meant, they knew, his lifelong sorrow. Yet thoe same men were to be the ancestors of God’s chosen people. - The Pressure of Famine.—Gen. 42: 13. Some of those who greatly ad- mired the character of Joseph have been compelled to think he did wrong in not notifying his old father of his safety during those nine years when as prime minister he certainly had power to communicate with him. In view, however, of the yearning affec- tion which Joseph afterward. showed, we may well believe that he realized how little good would be accomplish. ed by such a course while his broth- ers hearts remained hard. Joseph's Rough Dealing—Gen. 42: 46, Even in his old age, Jacob’s en- ergy shows itself, and it is he that proposes an expedition to get food from Egypt. The youngest, Benja- min, was alone retained at home. Imprisonment.—Gen. 42:17-24. Jo- seph’s dramatic reminders of what had passed continued. As they had thrust him into the pit, he thrast them into the horrors of an Egyptian prison, The Mystery of the Money.—Gen. 42:25.88. Sometimes consciences that are not aroused by adversity are awakened by strangeness and mys- tery. This also was added for the bet- tering of his brothers. The Sorrowful Father—Gen. 43:1- 14. However reluctant the sons were to face again the terrible rule of Egypt, and however Jacob dreaded to part with his sole remaining consola- tion, Benjamin, the pressure of hun- ger was too great for them. With a sinking heart, Jacob agreed that Ben- jamin should go, being a little as- sured, perhaps, by Judah's manly promise to be surety for him. Benjamin Honored.—Gen. 43:15-34. A new surprise awaited the brothers in Egypt. Instead of being received roughly by the prime minister, they were invited to dine at the great man’s house. Benjamin's Peril—Gen. 44:1-13. The affair of the divining cup was the most severe test of all. It was part of the plot to make out that Benjamin had stolen something very valuable and precious. The penalty applied to common thieves by Egyptian law was perpetual slavery, and that was the fate which confronted the horri- fied Benjamin when the cup was dis- covered in his sack. Judah's Appeal.—Gen. 44:14-34. Tho examination before Joseph is a fit climax of the wonderful story. “Ju ah had thirsted for the blood of Jo- seph; it was Judah who now became the spokesman for the rest."—Sayce. Joseph's Disclosure of Himself— Vs. 14. Joseph's severe tests had abundantly accomplished their _pur- pose; they had shown his brothers, even the worst of them, to be changed men, whom he could trust. Therefore he no longer hesitated to disclose himself. Joseph’s Disclosure of Providence. —Vs. 5-8. The surgeon's task is not complete if he leaves an open wound. Wise dealing with sinners never ends when they repent. They must next be comforted, strengthened, lifted into a new confidence. This is what Joseph now does for his humbled brothers. “I can forgive, but never forget” {s as far as many Christiars of today go in regard to an injury, How small is such a position as we stand beside this Hebrew, who could not only forget, but could strive to make the wrongdoers forget! Joseph Sends for His Father.—Vs, 9-13. The best way to help a re pentant sinner is to give him some noble task to perform; and if it helps to undo some of the wrong he has done, so much the better. Such & task Joseph next gave his brothers. The Reunited Brothers.—Vs. 14, 15; Gen, 50:15-21. A moment more saw him and Benjamin locked in each oth- er’s arms, their tears freely flowing. And he Kissed all. his brethren. Sim- eon? Yes. Reuben? Yes. Those who had tied his hands and mocked his cries? Yes. He Kissed them all, And after that they talked with him,” —F. B. Meyer. 3 Practical Points. The chief characteristics of this re markable man Joseph were: (1) Sig! devotion; (2 absolute purity and konesty; (3) unselfishness, and rondt ness to help others; (4) humility; (5) a cheerful faith in God and in hie destiny; (6) faithfulness in Ittle things; (7) resolution and enterprise: (8) patience and perseverence. These qualities are within the reaca of auy man, and they will make any man’s life successful. “These dealings of Joseph with bis brethren are the very pattern of God's dealinga with men."~Trench.

Co. KGS ST INDIANA PEOPLE IN WESTERN CANADA. What Shall We Do?—I've Got to Bulld Granaries. 4s but one of many similar that are i ‘the hands of the Canadian government agents whose privilege it is to offer one hundred and sixty acres of land free, and low railway fares. But here is a copy of the letter: “Tipton, Ind., Nov. 28, 1906. “At your earnest solicitation a party of us from Tipton left May 15 for Western Canada.. Our interviews with you and a careful study of your liter- ature led us to expect great things of your country when we should arrive there, and we were not disappointed. ‘We went prepared to make a careful examination of the country and its re- sources, and we did so. At early dawn the second morning out of Tipton we awoke in a new world. As far as the eye could reach was an apparently limitless expanse of new sown wheat and prairie grasses. The vivid green of the wheat just beginning to stool out, and the inky blackness of the soil contrasted in a way beautiful to see. An hour or two later we steamed into Winnipeg. Here we found a num- ber of surprises. A hundred thousand souls well housed, with every con- venience that goes to make a modern up-to-date city—banks, hotels, news- papers, stores, electric light, street railways, sewerage, waterworks, as- phalt pavements, everything. With eyes and ears open we traveled for two thousand miles through Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, going out over the Canadian Pacific railway, via Calgary to Edmonton, and returning to Winnipeg over the Canadian North- ern railway. In the meaatime we ‘made several side trips and stopped off at a number of points where we made drives into the surrounding country. On every hand were evi- dences of prosperity. The. growing ‘wheat, oats, rye, flax, barley, not lit- tle patches, but great flelds, many of them a square mile in extent, the three, flye and sometimes seven-horse teams laying over an inky black rib- bon of yellow stubble, generally in fur- rows straight as gun barrels and at right angles from the roads stretching into the distance, contrasted strangely with our little fields at home. The towns both large and small were dou- bly conspicuous, made so, first by tueir newness and second by the tow- ering elevators necessary to hold the immense crops of wheat grown in the immediato neighborhood. ‘The newness, the thrift, the hustle, the’ sound of saw and hammer, the tents housing owners of buildings in various stages of completion, the piles of household effects and agricultural implements at the railway stations waiting to be hauled out to the “Claims,” the occasional steam plow turning its twenty or thirty acres a day, the sod house, the unpainted Rouse of wood, the up-to-date modern residence with large red barn by, all these were seen everywhere we went, an earnest of prosperity and wealth to be. We talked with men and visited thelr places that four years ago was unbroken prairie. Their houses, barns, implements and live stock were. the equal of anything in Tipton Coun- ty,and why not, when they were rais- ing five, ten and twenty, yes, in one. instance, forty thousand bushels of wheat a year. The fact that such large yields of wheat are raised so easily and so surely impressed us very favorably. And when we saw men who four or five years ago com- menced there with two or three thou- sand dollars, and were now as well fixed and making money much easier and many times faster than lots of our acquaintances on Indiana farms fifty years cleared and valued at four times as much, we decided to invest. So we bought in partnership a little over two thousand acres, some of it improved and in wheat. Before leaving Indiana we agreed that if the opportunities were as great as they were represented to be, that we would buy, and own in partner- ship a body of land, and leave one of ‘our number to look after and operate it. This we accordingly did. Just before time to thresh I re- ceived a letter from him. “What shall we do?” said he; “I've got to build granaries. There's so much wheat that the railways are just swamped. We can’t get cars and the elevators are all full. I never saw anything like it.” In reply we wrote, “Good for | you. Go ahead and build; your story touads totter than the iettens re used. to get from our friends in Kansas when they bewailed the fact that the hard wheat had beén destroyed by the | chinch bugs and the corn by hot winds, and that they must sell the | stock for means tolive on. Yes, build by all means.” And he did, and our wheat put in by @ renter made twen- ty-seven bushels per acre. Very truly yours, (Sa) A. G. BURKHART. ($d) J. TRELOAR-TRESIDDER. (Sd) WALTER W. MOUNT.

Pee co Sty Been,46 Warcen ss ny, pet THE CHRISTIAN WORLD Splendid Work of the National Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild. Several years ago a group of New York women associated themselves together with the avowed object of "carrying brightness into the lives of the poor, and to bring them in touch with God's world of nature." They had come to believe that not poverty, not sickness, not even want, were pro together with the avowed object of "carrying brightness into the lives of the poor, and to bring them in touch with God's world of nature." They had come to believe that not poverty, not sickness, not even want, were productive of so much misery (and misery's twin-sister, sin) as the deadly monotony of the lives of the very poor and that lack of ideals which is the inevitable deprivation of those who are reared and dwell in the slums. Acting from these premises, the association of women resolved to reach the hearts of the "submerged tenth" in their poor homes, as well as in the institutions wherever, sick or sorry, they might be sojourning. "The gift of flowers," they said, "can never pauperize; it conveys a silent message of sympathy, and often opens the way to mutual understanding and further opportunities for helpfulness." The idea took shape rapidly, and soon working branches of the national guild were organized in New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Albany, Cincinnati and Columbus. Figures are dull reading, says the Christian Herald, but they tell the story of the National Flower Guild as nothing else can do. Last summer, the New York city branch distributed over 15,000 bunches of flowers each week during the ten-week heated term to the hospitals, rescue missons, children's institutions and the homes of the poor, making a grand total of nearly 200,000 nosegays given and 400,000 eyes gladdened in New York city alone. This beautiful work was made possible by the faithful industry of the country branches, whose great baskets, piled high with the blooms of wood and dell as well as garden, came regularly to the eager workers in the city. They found no task of distribution too heavy which brought a smile to the face of a child, a memory of youth to a tired mother, or a moment of forgetfulness to the racked sufferers who filled the long hospital wards. An Important Event An Important Event. One of the most important events in the history of modern French Protestantism is the union of the Reformed churches of France as a result of the new Separation law. They will unite their forces and strengthen their hands for more aggressive evangelism. In response to the call over one hundred Protestant churches sent delegates to the assembly at Jarnac and thus showed the desire for a closer tie. Two days of discussion and consideration were marked by a spirit of harmony and conciliation. On the last day of the assembly, it was proposed that the discussion be closed, and that the assembly vote at once upon the articles of union. After a brief but powerful address by Postor Wagner, author of the "Simple Life," the union was declared accomplished by unanimous vote, and all standing sang the grand old choral of Luther, "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott." A. Children's Church. A Children's Church. The first services of the Children's Church of America was held in the Union Baptist church, in Brooklyn, on February 24. All of the arrangements were made by the pastor, Rev. R. W. MacCullough, Ph.D. The entire service was under the direction of the young people. Some gave out the hymns; others, under 11 years of age acted as ushers; a young girl gave out the notices; the prayers were by boys of grammar school age, and there were six short sermons by six young people of the Sunday school. The parents were greatly pleased, and it is thought that the movement inaugurated by Pastor MacCullough will be taken up by other churches. Revival Spirit Not Dormant. Evan Roberts, being asked as to present conditions in Wales, says: "After the storm, the calm—not of stagnation, but of settled conviction—not so much estacy, but much peace." As was to be expected, some have already grown weary, and others have gone back, but not in any large proportion. The life of the churches has been distinctly and permanently quickened. The fire is still burning, and the churches have grown in power and influence." Wrote to Mr. Rockefeller First. Rev. Mr. Aked, wishing for various reasons, among which he mentioned the solubility of the climate, to accept the call, wrote to Mr. Rockefeller stating the case and asking what his standing would be. Mr. Rockefeller replied that he would have an entirely free hand. Whereupon Mr. Aked accepted the call. Boys' Work Grows The Boys' department membership in the Y. M. C. As. throughout the country increased from 23,405 to 65,400, and its qualified secretaries from 21 to 175. The number of students in educational classes has reached 38,405. TEN YEARS OF PAIN. Unable to Do Even Housework Because of Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon, O., says: "For fifteen years I was a great sufferer from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doan's Kidney Pills brought me quick-relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. ADVANTAGE A WIDOW HAS. At Least They Don't Have to Sit and Watch Husband's Flirt. "I saw such a pretty woman at disadvantage the other night," the little real widow was saying. "She was married. She was sitting at a table with some other pretty women and handsome men and her husband. Her husband began to flirt outrageously with one of the women. I wish you could have seen the look that came over her face. Everybody in the room saw how distressed she was. "Now, what I want to know is this. Why didn't she go to work and flirt with one of the handsome men to get even? Anyone of them was quite ready and willing, but, no, wives never seem to be able to do that. They just sit ready to cry, with everybody noticing. "That's the advantage we real widows have over wives. We don't have to stt and watch our husbands flirting with other women. We know where they are, and we also know that whatever they may chance to be doing, they are probably not flirting." ITWOULD BE SIMPLE. Formalities Compiled with, Escape from Hotel Was Easy. In the days before the dawn of his fame it was the practice of a certain well known author to wander up and down the land seeking what he might devour in the way of suggestion and local color. In this way he had drifted down into Arkansas, "roughing it," and not, as he expresses it, presenting an appearance calculated to inspire a hotel proprietor with unlimited confidence. The only hotel in the town, a frame structure, seemed to have been built upon the theory that there was plenty of room straight up, but that ground had to be bought, and the wanderer was shown to a room on the third floor, reached through many narrow and winding passages. From the one window it was a straight drop to the ground. "Say, how would I get out of this place in case of fire?" he asked the landlord, who had brought up his grip. The other eyed him coldly. The other eye and colony. "Wall," he drawled, "all yo' would have to do would be to show their night watchman—the one with their shotgun—a receipted bill foh yo' board an' lodgin', an' get him to tie up her bulldog."-Harper's Weekly. Breaking It to Him Tactfully "George," she said, when her hubby returned from the office, "I'm afraid baby must have swallowed some money." "Good gracious!" he cried, "don't you know whether he did or not?" "No, but it's the only way I can account for the disappearance of the weekly allowance you forgot to give me this morning." Then she got it—with a little conscience fund addition. This year's convention of the American Federation of Catholic societies will be held in Indianapolis, July 14 to 17. FRIENDS HELP St. Paul Park Incident. "After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, hervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times I had severe headaches; stomach finally became affected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. "Another lady, who had been troubled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured.

St. Paul, April 24, 1907.—Word has been received at the office of the Canadian Government in St. Paul that seeding has commenced at various points throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The heavy snowfall during the past winter has left the ground in splendid shape for successful seeding operations. The fine weather of the past few days has taken much of the frost out of the ground and during next week there will scarcely be a district in which the seeder is not being operated. The most optimistic conditions exist and in all districts the farmers are busy getting things in shape. There will be a very large acreage sown in spring wheat, oats and barley. At many points throughout the three provinces the newcomers are busy unloading their stock and effects, working night and day in order to get on their farms and become active agencies in the effort to make the year 1907 the banner year in grain producing in Western Canada. As compared with districts many hundred miles further south than this, it will be seen that Western Canada ranks amongst the first in the line of seeding operations for the present year. It is safe to say that farmers who get in their crop before the 20th or 24th of May, will receive magnificent returns. A number of those coming in this spring, who had not their land prepared last fall, will break up enough land to get in a crop of oats and barley and probably some flax. This, together with the vegetables they will plant, will give them ample food for themselves and stock during the coming summer and winter. These early seeding operations are not confined to one district, but are spread over a country 900 miles long by 400 miles in width. The agents of the Canadian Government, located at different points throughout the United States, are busy giving information regarding the many new districts that are being made available for settlers. Low railway rates, information and literature are given on application to the agent, whose name appears in advertisement elsewhere in this paper. All Distractions Barred.

"The other day an immaculately gotten up individual came into the library and announced that he was a writer with a specialty of dialect stories. We got him several books that he asked for, and little by little he took me into his confidence.

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND. Stern Laws of Business Come First, Says Austrian Court. An interesting case at law, which centered on the observance of an old Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna recently. A merchant, says the American Israelite, discharged a clerk on account of neglect of duty. Among the charges against him was that he came to the store late in the morning because he attended service at the synagogue in order to say Kaddish—the prayer for the dead—for his father. The clerk argued that it was his privilege and his duty to say the prayer for his departed father, while the merchant, who was also a religious man, maintained that "if Moses had known that a man had to pay 8,000 gulden a year rent he would have made different laws." The judge would not allow such an argument, but decided in favor of the merchant, "because the daily attendance at the synagogue could not be considered the right of the clerk without the consent of the employer." FAMILY'S SKIN TROUBLES. Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Affections Afflict Different Members, But Cuticura Cures Them. "My wife had eczema for five or six years. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We did so and she has never had a sign of eczema for four years. I myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. I now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than anything else.

The republican party managers, during the campaign last fall, were prolific in their promises to the Negro voters as to what they would do for the Negroes if they would only turn out solidly at the polls and help defeat the democrats. The Negroes, accordingly, did everything within their power, worked earnestly and without intermission to render every aid, and by their 10,000 votes put the republicans in charge of the offices. The republican office-holders and managers have since shown themselves to be as barren of performance as they were prolific of promise. They have very generously (?) given us $ \frac{1}{4} $ of 1 per cent of the appetitive places, when, according to the vote we cast, our allotment should have been 16 2-3 per cent. Our carpet-bagger chairman of the city committee, in discussing the claims of the Negroes, remarked: "Oh, let the Negroes wait; there are plenty of white men to be placed." By this class of men have the Negroes been buncowed, and will continue to be buncowed just as long as such men are managers of party affairs. Municipal positions formerly held by Negroes, even under democratic administrations, are, under the present conditions, thought to be, by this young political Napoleon, too good for the Negro, and he has provided an extra ianitorship or two instead. In this manner has the party's pledges to its most loyal adherents been redeemed. By these actions we are expected to become enthusiastic and hold ourselves in readiness to rush to its rescue in the time of its need. Well, maybe we will, but again we can. WHAT'S THE USE.
