Smith, treasurer; Mrs. Alice Richardson, organ and Miss Grace Williams, Elizz Richardson, Katie Morgan, Hat Walker and Messrs. Wm. Stakely A. C. Scott. This choir without a child is one of the best in St. Louis. I mustless to attempt a description of the different voices, but I will venture to say they are all mistress of our own parts. Mrs. Alice Richard-handles the organ with ease and The Order of the A. U. K. and D. of was almost spellbound as we have often been made to believe that St. chapel had the only choir in St. and for their excellent singing order remembered them. See in order column good words of cheer the order. The U. B. F.s. The following article from Chicago mer to Weekly Negro World shows more. You can fool some people pretenses, but not all the people all time, even if they are U. B. F's. Mr. Walter M. Farmer of Chicago, who received a majority of votes National Grand Master of the Naval Grand Lodge of the United Officers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, that was held last at Lexington, Ky., has now fully completely declared himself Naval Grand Master and has selected other officers. He is surrounded in a large number of the best and most members of the Order of the Red Brothers of Friendship throughout the United States. Mr. Farmer will call a special session of United Brothers of Friendship not far distant. All the member of the Order are notified to reto him as National Grand Master, having been regularly and duly and at the session held at Lexing-Ky. Mr. Farmer is an excellent man, and has held the position National Grand Secretary for a order of years, and he has a strong living in the order everywhere throughout the United States. Hisress is 171 Washington street, Chicago—Columbia, Louisville, Ky. He have heard of the cheek of aimental mule, but this is more any man living or dead or the hell is guilty of. This man does not belong to any lodge the world of the U. B. F. and S. M. He is really a misfit in this world in the other two places of abode, neither will have him. NEWS FROM SALISBURY.

The order of the A. U. K. and D. of A. will attend the annualsermon of Rising Sun Council. No. 176, of East St. Louis at the City Hall, Sunday, July 7. East St. Louisans recognize in the order some of the best Negro citizens. Mrs. Josephine Jones, who is at the head of the order in East St. Louis, has lived there for many years and has stood at the head of many good orders in that city. About twelve years ago J. W. Wheeler, Past Western Grand Master, organized Rising Sun Council July 9, 1895, and it has been considered one of the best in the Order. Mrs. Jones is connected with many others and wherever the name of Mrs. Jones is connected there you will find the good set of men, women and children. The office of the Municipal Government in East St. Louis has long since recognized the good qualities of this lady. Let the citizens of St. Louis go over and attend the service of the A. U. K. and D. of A. in honor of the good work of this most wonderful woman. We know that our present Western Grand Master, W. H. Fields, and our present Western Grand Queen, Mrs. S. A. Collins, will be there to do what they can to give encouragement to this work in uplifting the race. Well might the poets say, "Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing my Great Redeemer's Praise," etc. RIP SAW Ministers' Union Proves a Success. We are proud to say that the Minister's Union of St. Louis is proving quite a success. We have enjoyed visiting the ministers a number of times and we are beginning to think that they mean just what they say. The reception at Compton Hill Baptist church, in honor of Rev. Venable's departure for Iowa was a grand affair. Rev. Venable had served his congregation for four years faithfully and we praise the Lord to know that he left the church in peace and harmony, and it indeed casts a sad feeling over us to see the church weeping as though he was dead. Praise God for such a pastor and let him be a model for other pastors. The following program was excellently rendered by the Ministers' Union: Song, Ministers' Union. Scripture reading, Rev. Slatter. Prayer, Rev. A. D. Jemison. Song, Ministers' Union. Paper, Rev. J. L. Cohron; subject, "His Stay in Our City." Sing, Ministers' Union. Paper, Rev. J. W. Crushon, "The Tie That Binds Us." Paper, "How Pastor and Church Should Meet and Part," by Rev. David Johnson. Five minutes' talk from ministers on Dr. Venable as a fellow pastor. Song, Ministers' Union. Prayer was offered in behalf of our dear brother by Rev. Monroe. Rev. Mrs. A. D. Jemison sang "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Christmas, who was master of ceremonies. The members of Compton Hill church invited us to a sumptuous repast and a joyful time was spent eating and exchanging thoughts of value. We praise God for such people and can only say, keep your sails high above the waves of Sin and as a Minister's Union, battle against wrong, and though our dear brother leaves us you say, we will stay close together and that when our work is ended we, like soldiers, shall go up to our God in peace and in love, as our dear brother, D. W. Venable, let us. We miss his sweet little wife and we hope Sister Venable will remember her friends in St. Louis. God bless Reverend and his dear little wife. MRS. A. D. JEMISON. NOTICE.

OVER SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. TWELVE HANDSOME PRIZES AWARDED. On Monday night, July 1, the Colored city employees, under direction of the now famous Harry Denny, gave another plenic which far outclassed anything of its kind ever held in this city. To speak of it as being a great success socially and financially is indeed putting it very mildly. A record-breaking crowd attended this affair and 6,171 people passed through the gates on that day. This vast crowd of merry makers was made up of people from this city, Brooklyn, East St. Louis, Alte Sita, and other neighboring suburbs of St. Louis. The plenic was held at Bloemecke's Grove on North Broadway, and was patronized by a high class of people, including very nearly all of the most prominent colored people of St. Louis. A feature of the plenic was the strenuous effort in competing for the twelve prizes that were offered in competition. The first prize, a bottle of malt whisky, was won by the Ladies' London Bells Social Club. Second prize, large beautiful picture, won by the Smart Set Club. Third prize, handsome picture, won by Golden Rod Club. Fourth prize, fine Japanese rug, won by Mrs. N. Normey. Fifth prize, elegant rug, won by Mrs. Manie Shores. Mrs. Marie Shores. Sixth prize, decorated vase, won by Dora Jeffrey. Seventh prize, high roller hat, won by Leo Huelenberg. Eighth prize, black Stetson hat, won by George Long. Ninth prize, handsome center table, won by J. W. Wheeler. Tenth prize, small picture, won by Mrs. Ada Hudson of Alta Sita. Twelfth prize, pair of ladies' high heel shoes, won by Miss Florence Leonard. Miss Lillian Atkins, president of the London Belle Social Club, was there with a lively representation of her club, and carried away first honors. Harry Denny has made good our prophecy that he is a record-breaker and that he can not be beaten in his home town. At the last picnic given by him some time ago, he broke the record for attendance. This time he has set aside his own record by nearly three thousand people. It is understood that in the near future Harry Denny, Will Smith, S. P. McGinnis and Charles Blumfeld will announce the program for their picnic to be given on August 12. So much success has attended the affairs given by Harry Denny under the auspices of the Colored City Employes Social Club that they intend to take in a greater scope for this coming outing. Harry has promised a good time and given us a better one. Sam Woods, general manager, has an eye to business, and knows how and when to do things. He was Johnnie on the spot last Monday with a large package of announcements of the picnic to be given on August 12th, and was busy handing them to everyone as they passed through the gate. CALL FOR A SOLEMN CONCLAVE. To the Citizens of the State of Missouri: On February 13, 1907, fifty delegates representing ten counties and the largest cities in the state, assembled in the state house in Jefferson City to enter protest against the separate car law which had already passed the state state, and to appeal to the reason, liberality and good judgment of the railroad committee and other members of the house of representatives who were present, to keep the proposed bill from becoming a law. We are thankful to say that the better judgment of that body prevailed and we have been spared the humiliation to which our people are subjected in many of the other states. The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion indicates clearly that, with organization throughout the state and discreet management, we can do much toward creating a healthy public opinion in regard to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy; he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A. M. E. church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13, 1907, instructing the president and secretary of that gathering to invite a solemn convocation of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called to convene in St. Louis, Mo., opening in Central Baptist church, July 10, at 9 a.m. and closing in St. Paul A. M. E. church, July 11.

Oakland, Cal—Secretary of the “Navy Victor H. Metcalf, in an inter- view confirmed the report that a large part of the United States navy will be seen in Pacific waters next winter. Eighteen or twenty of the largest bat- tleships will come around Cape Horn on @ practice cruise and will be seen in San Franeisco harbor. “Many false impressions have gained circulation about the proposed movement of this part of the United ‘States navy,” said Secretary Metcalf. “I have held all along that there was ‘practically no significance to this movement from a military standpoint. I might have stated before leaving Washington exactly what I am saying now. I thought, as the news con- cerned the people of the coast, this would be an appropriate time to an- nounce the exact plans. “It Is the policy of the navy depart- ment at the present time to keep the fleet in American waters as much as possible. It was also our policy, as has been stated, to keep as large a number of battleships together as pos- sible. We might as well spend the ‘money that is devoted to our navy in ‘American ports as abroad. In the ‘past we have sent squadrons to vari- ous European nations with less ad- vantage than by keeping them at home. “I have planned this cruise around Cape Horn for the practice of the squadron. How long a time they will spend in these waters I cannot say at present. I can promise the people of Oakland and San Francisco that they will see one of the finest naval spec- tacles ever witnessed in Pacific wa- ters. “I hope the talk of Japanese trou- bles and international differences may be dropped by all of the newspapers of the country. There is nothing to produce any feeling except this talk of the newspapers. It is without foun- dation. The story that Ambassador Aoki is in disfavor with his own gov- ernment I believe purely an invention. I know of no reason at the present time why Japan and the United States should not be on the friendliest of terms.” DECLARATION READ IN CUBA. Day Was Celebrated by a Grand Re- view of Troops by Gen. Barry. Havana—The Foerth of July was celebrated here by a grand review by Gen. Barry of the 2000 troops sta- tioned at Camp Columbia. The gen- eral was assisted by Governor Ma- goon, United States Minister Morgan, Governor of Havana Nunez and Gen- eral Rodriguez, the commander of the Cuban Rurale Guard. The review was witnessed by a great gathering of Americans and Cubans. The men in all branches of the service presented a splendid appearance. Following the review the Declara- tion of Independence was read by Ma- jor Millard F. Waltz, chief of staff to General Barry, and then the troops sang the national anthem. There was a reception in the even- ing at the residence of Mr. Morgan, the Anferican minister. Crush at Reid Reception.

How One Company's Assets Are Dis- tributed in the South and West. In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which refuires that 75% of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, ‘which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxa- tion, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equit- able now has $10,958,000 invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the manage- ment decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injus- tice to its policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. ‘The Equitable's report shows that more than 37% of its total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states, while only 35% of its total insurance is carried in these states. Its investments are distributed as follows: Ala., $3,099,000; Ariz., $974,000; Ark., $4,038,000; Cal., $5,- 142,000; Col., $5,222,000; Fla., $4,924,- 900; Ga., $4,048,000; Idaho, $5,197,000; IL, $12,617,000; Ind.

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA | By No Means a Pleasure, According 7 to One Traveler. “No sooner has one plunged into ‘the water than ‘one is’ whipped off ‘one’s feet and goes bobbing helplessly about like a wretched cork,” says Rev. Haskett Smith of bathing in the Dead sea. “In tuo effort to regain one’s footing and to ge. back to shore, one’s feet and shins are barked by the Jagged stones and pebbles, and when at length one does emerge from its treacherous bosom, with the lower Umbs bleeding and torn, one becomes aware of a horrible tingling and burn- ing sensation in eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth and almost every pore of the skin, from the brine and bitumen which have penetrated everywhere. “Unless great care is taken the bather in the Dead sea is liable to an eruption, which breaks out all over his body, and which is commonly known as the ‘Dead sea rash’ The best antidote to this fs to hurry across as quickly as possible to the river Jor- dan and take a second plunge therein. ‘The soft and muddy waters of that sacred but dirty stream will effectual- ly remove the salt that has incrusted the body.” gata) Miavenesn a ‘Travelsn,. Adlai E. Stevenson, one of the two living vice presidents, puts in most of his time traveling about the country visiting relatives, whose name is Jegion, particularly in the south. He stays little at his comfortable but un- pretentious home in Bloomington, Ill. COFFEE COMP!.EXION. Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Cdffee. “Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and ‘Were about as dark as coffee itself. “I formerly had as fine a complex- fon as one could ask for. “When I became convinced that cof- fee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, ac- cording to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. “I am thankful to say I am not ner- yous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble.” ‘Most’ bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in Proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body. “There's a Reason.” Read, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs.

Mem- ory. verse, 4. GOLDEN TEXT.—"I am the living bread which came down from heaven." John 6:51. ‘Time.—According to the common chro~ nology the crossing of the Red Sea way About the first of April, B.C. 491, Pra- fessor Beecher regards this early date aa probably the correct one, “near the bim Einning of the fifteenth century, B.C." Many scholars regard the date as aboat 1900 B. C., and some as late as 120 B. C. ‘There is great uncertainty as to the ux- act time. ‘This lesson belongs about a month after the last regular lesson. PLACE.—The northern part of the Wil- derness of Sin, ‘a long plain bordering the Guif of Suez on the east. ‘Comment and Suggestive Thought. Six hundred thousand men, besides children and a mixed multitude, had escaped from Egypt and its slavery, crossed the Red sea, and were now be- ginning their journey to Palestine. It took them 40 years, although it could as easily have been accomplished in 40 weeks. . ‘Three rontes were possible (1) ‘The Philistia road, the northern road, around the Mediterranean. This they avoided, because it would lead them through the warlike tribe of Palestine, (2) The "Way of Shur,” directly east. ‘They rejected this, because it tray- ersed the worst of the desert. (3) Therefore they were guided to take the lower road running southeasterly along the eastern shore of the Red sea. V. 3. “Would to God we had died ... in the land of Egypt,” Ike the first born of the Egyptians. The contrast as to fertility between the wilderness and Egypt was very great. But they forgot their sufferings from slavery there, and the wonderful deliverances from God. They did not appreciate their freedom, their spiritual training and privileges, and all that would lead to a higher life. Note (1) that they might have been sure that God would provide them with food. Would he have done such wonders on the field of Zoan and at the Red sea, if he meant them to die in the wilderness? They only needed to look up to God and on what he had done to strengthen their faith. They were like Christian in Doubting Cas- tle, who forgot that he had in his bosom the key of deliverance. “A friend of mine was once wander- ing in a thick fog. He could not see a step behind or before, and his soul was filled with gloomy thoughts. Of a sudden he looked upward, and lo! the sky was visible, full of stars. He was walking through a thick fog that reached only a few feet above his head. So in all-our troubles; we have only to look up, and we can see God’s Kindness through them.”—Amos R. Wells, Note (2) God was only waiting till they had learned their lesson of faith. ‘They put material comfort before spir- itual life. God’s way was to have them seek first the character which would prepare them for their Promised Land. V. 12. “At even ye shall eat flesh, the flesh of (v. 13) quails which came up” from the Arabian gulf of the Red sea, “across which they fly in the spring in great numbers, and are often so fatigued after their passage, and fly so low, as to become an easy prey wherever they alight.”—Bush. “I have myself found the ground in Al- geria, in the month of April, covered with quails for an extent of many acres at daybreak, where on the pre- ceding afternoon there had not been one.”—Tristram. “The quails, as ap- pears by the subsequent narrative, were supplied, not regularly, but onty on rare oceasions; in fact (so far as appears), only here in the wilderness of Sin, and, at Kibroth-Hattaavah, im the wilderness of Paran (Num. 11:31- 34). ‘The gift of the quails came through natural means, like most of their food and ours. All our daily food is the gift of God, however much we may work | for it ourselves. It forever polnts us to God and claims our thanks. ‘This kind of miracle, we belleve, our Father is constantly working for his children. God has made nature like a vast machine, and gone away and left it. He Hyes in all his works— the sun, rain, wind, the very birds of the air, and contiaually uses nature to bless those who honor him. V. 15. “They sald one to another, What is it?” R. V. “Manna is said to owe its name to this question, ‘Man hu? ‘What is it?”"—Prof. McAlister, in Hastings’ Bible Dictionary. What was the manna? It was (v, 31) “like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.” “The taste of it (Num. 11:8) was as the taste of fresh ofl.” It was ground in mills, beaten In mor- tars, seethed in pots, and used to make cakes. It fell with the dew. In Psa. 78:24,25 it is called “the corn of heaven,” “‘the bread of the mighty,” Fe a a eee ee Ss. L. PICKETT. Fresh DRUGS Daily 2601 LAWTON AVENUE, N. W. Cor.

Never in the history of Bloemcke's Grove have there been as many people at the place from 5:30 p. m. until 1 a. m., as there was last Monday night. The wonderful name of Harry Denny showed itself with Willis Smith, Chas. Blumfeld, together with that renowned crawfish man, S. P. McGinnis. This team of gentlemen are the wonders of all for when they call it seems as if all St. Louis comes out. Many of our best citizens were there and enjoyed themselves; not a cross word was heard; so the outing was a most successful affair. The prizes offered were won an dreeceived. Let no one doubt the fame of the above named gentlemen and the City Employees. The National Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. with W. A. Gains, national grand master; with W. R. Perry, secretary; with Brother W. M. Farmer, Grand Treasurer Bloodso and Anderson attempted to disregard the supreme authority. W. A. Gaines suspended them. So look out if there be any such in the A. U. K. and D. of A. They must and will go and that soon. Off for East St. Louis, Ill., to the annual sermon of the A. U. K. and D. of A. Rev. B. Heard will preach the sermon. Mrs. Josephine Jones, M. E. A., of Rising Sun Council, will go over and help her. The Supreme Lodge of the A. U. K. and D. of A., with headquarters at Nashville, Tenn., with D. L. Martin, supreme master, Dr. R. F. Boyd, supreme secretary. When men and women come into the order and want to disregard the supreme head then it is time to put them out, and the Palladium will protect the Supreme Lodge. OLD WOMEN. Ellen Gunnell, 82 years of age; Nancy J. Young, 56 years of age; Fannie Edwards, 58 years of age; Mrs. Wilson, 2811 Iceland avenue, 58 years of age; Mrs. Bally, 45 1-2 years of age. These young and old women from 36 to 94 are all active in life and we shall leave them to get other attractions. God bless them one and all.

Unless the better class of Negroes will do something to rid St. Louis of the bad and worthless Negro, there will sooner or later be serious trouble. Last Monday night as we were going north on a Broadway car, which was going to the picnic, two bad Negroes stood on the back end of the car. The two Negroes were of the lowest type and the better class of Negroes should rise up in arms and demand that this class of Negroes should go. We appeal to the police board to put a Colored Detective among such worthless people and put them out of this country. Somebody Will Know to Whom This Refers. Last Monday night as we came in from a picnic just 127 persons were on the car. All went well for a while until a Negro girl about three and a half feet high began to sauce her cousin because she was chastising her about her conduct. At last the older one slipped her, and then a wordy combat followed, until one of our shrewd detectives, Mr. Logan, told the three-foot Negro girl to stop her noise, if she didn't he would lock her up. At this she stopped. After Mr. Logan got off the car the specimen of nothing began to renew her quarrel, until we reached Market street. All got off the car there, and we never saw this little Negro any more until we had walked to Seventeenth street and Market. We knew this was the same party, so we watched the actions of the girl and the three Negroes who accompanied her; their actions were most shameful and for three blocks they insulted every white person who passed. When they got between Twentieth and Twenty-first street two policemen who were on the Maple avenue car, got off and quelled the disgraceful actions on the part of these three Negroes. The policeman would not have done the wrong thing had he locked them up and sent them before Judge Tracey.

Garth an interesting relic in the shape of a copy of the Columbia Patriot, of date, July 23, 1836. The Patriot was the first newspaper ever published in Co- lumbia, It was before this date edited by Maj, James S. Rollins, and at the time the copy in question was print- ed F. A. Hamilton, a well known Boone county pioneer and one time sheriff of the county, was the editor and proprietor. The old paper is yel- low with age and chronicles many things concerning the forbears and rel- atives of Columbia and Boone county people that are interesting. It was sent Mr. Garth from Kansas by Mrs. Henry Beasley, wife of Henry Beasley recently deceased. It was handed down to him by his father, Thomas Beasley, who in the early part of the century lived near Rock Bridge, and who was one of Boone county’s well known pioneers, This issue of the paper was published during a politi- eal campaign. At the mast head is the name of Hugh L. White, of Tennessee the Whig candidate for president, Wil- liam H. Asbley, then a member of con- gress, the second husband of Mrs. Chittenden, aunt of Dr. Woodson Moss, Mrs. BE. W. Stephens and J. HH.

Secrest noticed a piece of insulated wire protruding from one of them, Inside was five pounds of dynamite. The wire connecting with the explosive was two or three feet long. The insulation had been scraped off of a small space near the end. To set off the dynamite it would have been necessary only to place a wire attached to a battary against the bare spot on the wire and then turn on the current. Marshal Secrest said that one man was under suspicion and that efforts were being made to find and arrest him. ‘Set Tues tor. Witty Veare: Tyler Parker, perhaps the oldest printer in Missouri, in point of ser viee, has just celebrated his 50th an- niversary “at the case.” He has been “setting type" in Missouri for a half-century, and is still at it.

He gan a paper at Mexico during the civil war called the Beacon, which was suppressed by a company of federal troops. River Damage at St. Joseph, The current of the Missouri river has begun to cut into the land along the river front at St. Joseph that has been reclaimed jointly by the Union Terminal and Burlington Railway companies. The railroad companies have had large forces of workmen em- ployed an this improvement for sev- eral years, and it has cost them more than $500,000.

The other morning a Salisbury man stepped out of bed and saw a three- foot snake in the middle of the floor. He thought it was a rubber snake put there to scare him. He advanced and the snake moved. Then Mr. Shire was scared. He climbed on the bed and called for help. Mrs, Shire came and the sight of the snake threw her into hysterics. The fact that his wife saw the snake reassured Mr. Shire and he cams down from his perch and coolly slew it. He was greatly rejoiced to find that the snake had not proceeded from his boot.

Mr. and Mrs. Noble Brelstord, of Kingston, recently celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. They were married in Plainfield, 0., May 21, 1857, moving to Missouri in June, 1867. They have resided in their present home for over 30 years. Her Vindication. After the death of his sccond wife a St. Joseph man married his first wife, from whom he had been divorced 35 years before. She regards this as a “vindication.” There are three ways used by farm- ers for curing and preparing their tobacco for the market; namely, sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re- tain the heat, and there kept in the proptr temperature until this curing process develops in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in ‘We will ship SCHNAPPS direet from factory to retail dealers express or freight prepaid to nearest point to which a pyplished thr GNE MAN'S EXPERIENCE IN WESTERN CANADA. SE ee ee amenia To the Editor. Dear Sir: * ‘The following experience of an Illt nois man who went to Western Can- ada six years ago is but one of the thousands of letters that could be re- produced showing how prosperity fol- lows the settler on the fertile lands of Western Canada. This letter was written to the Chicago agent of the Government of the Dominion of Can- ada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta, April sth, 1907: “It is six years the 5th of this month since I and family landed in Red Deer, family sick and only $75 in my pocket. Bought a $12 lot, built a 12x14 shack and went to work as a carpenter. Next May sold for $400 (had added 16x18 building to shack). Purchased two lots at $70 each and built a 23x28 two story building and sold for $950. Filed on a quarter section 33 miles N. W. of Red Deer and have spent three years on it and am well pleased. Quarter all fenced and cross fenced, wire and rail, 2% miles of fence. House 29x31 feet on stone foundation. Last year was my first attempt to raise grain, 1% acres of fall wheat, /yleld grand, buly was frosted August 2nd, was cut August 16th and made good pig feed. Had 1% acres fall rye that I think could not be beat. A farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he said he never saw such heavy grain anywhere. Straw was 7 feet high. I had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall breaking that did not do so well, yet it ripened and gave me all the feed I need for stock and seed for this spring. I did not have grain threshed, so can’t give yield, but the wheat would have gone at least 25 bu. to the acre. Have a log stable 31x25 feet, broad root and two smaller buildings for pigs and chickens. “I have lived in Harvey, Ills., and know something about it. I have been hungry there and though able and willing to work could get none to do. One Saturday evening found me with- out any supper or a cent to get it with. A friend, surmising my situation, gave me a dollar, which was tliankfully ac- cepted and later paid back. Wife and I are thankful we came here. We were living near Mt. Vernon, Ills., as perhaps you remember visiting me there and getting me headed for the Canadian Northwest, and a happy day it has proved for me. I have not grown rich, But I am prospering. I would not take $3,000 for my quarter now. The past winter has been a hard one, but I worked outside the coldest day (52 below) all day and did not suffer. We are getting a school started now that is badly needed. “Our P. O., Evarts, is about 15 miles; there is another office 6 miles, but it is not convenient to us. Wife and I would not exchange our home here for anything Ilinois has to offer. “Yours truly, “(94.) E. EMPERLEY.” New In Wall Paper. A new design in fancy wall paper patterns comes from Kansas City; also a way to utilize cancelled checks. A firm has had all its offices papered with old checks, placed neatly edge to edge. .The face figures of the checks vary from $30,000 to $1,000, and the total for one room is $8,000,- 000, As a gilt moulding runs around the edges of each check-panel, the general effect is rather pleasing.

Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that /ook like Schnapps; the outside of the imitation plugs of to- bacco is flue cured, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco; one chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such tobacco.

"I was afflicted for over seven years with catarrh of the head, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many physicians, but they did me no good. "One day I happened to read some testimonials in your Peruna almanac. I decided to try Peruna and Manalin. I bought a bottle of each, and after taking them for a week I noticed a change for the better. So I kept it up, and after using twelve bottles I was perfectly cured. "I also gave the medicine to my children and they had the same beneficial result. I would never be without these remedies in the house. "I highly recommend Peruna and Manalin to all my friends, and in fact to everybody." Miss Mildred Grey, 110 Weimar St., Amleton, Wis. writes: "It gives me pleasure to recommend Peruna for catarh of the stomach. I had this disease for a number of years, and could not enjoy a mouthful of food that I ate. It took a great relief with it. It took Peruna an obituary decided results from the first. I took six bottles before I felt entirely cured of my trouble, but I had an aggravated case." Pure White Lead is the Natural Paint Pigment Numerous compounds are being offered to take the place of white lead as a paint, but铜 real substitute for it has yet been found. Pure White Lead has a peculiar property of amalgamating with the wood upon which it is used—added to this it has an elasticity which permits the paint to follow the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Pure White Lead (with its full natural tenacity and elasticity, unimpaired by adulterants), alone fulfills all the requirements of the ideal paint. Every keg which bears the Dutch Boy trade mark is positively guaranteed to be absolutely Pure White Lead made by the Old Dutch Process.

Surrounded by scenery as beautiful as there is to be found in Indiana stands the historic old Belleview church at Homestead, in Dearborn county, Indiana. Here Edward Eggleston, as the assistant to the preacher in charge, rode his first circuit, and here it was, in this early home of Indiana Methodism, that Morgan's raiders, wounded and bleeding, were stands the historic old Belleview church at Homestead, in Dearborn county, Indiana. Here Edward Eggleston, as the assistant to the preacher in charge, rode his first circuit, and here it was, in this early home of Indiana Methodism, that Morgan's raiders, wounded and bleeding, were carried into an improvised hospital in its sacred shelter. Belleview M. E. church was built in 1852 and has been a prosperous charge on the Guilford circuit all these years. Its walls have echoed with the eloquence of many a noted Methodist divine. The church is well preserved and seems good for a hundred years more. One of the features of its history is that, during the celebrated raid of John Morgan, the church was used as a hospital. As is indicated by its name the church stands on an elevation overlooking the valley of the Great Miami and from its rear is as pretty a view as can be found in southeastern Indiana. Hardinsburg lies at its feet in the lower bottom. The battle was known at the time as the battle of Hardinsburg. Homestead being a product of more recent years. Because of its historic associations several notable Methodist gatherings have been held at Belleview. CHANGES IN CHINESE WORSHIP. Money Formerly Wasted on Ancestral Rites Used to Educate People. Some months ago the Shanghai Taotai suggested that the large sums of money squandered on ancestral rites should be used for modern education. Already a remarkable response has come from the Chinese of Singapore, who have decided to devote to education the money hitherto speak in processes and feasts in ancestor worship. it is estimated that some $100,000 will thus be made available. This indicates an attitude of mind towards ancestor worship which is quite unprecedented. If the millions of China would act upon the advice of the Shanghai magistrate, not only would a great obstacle to missionary work be removed, but the national finances would be materially helped by the economizing of the extravagant and useless outlay which is said to cost the empire some $100,000,000 annually. A remarkable imperial edict announces that Confucius has been elevated to a position of equality with heaven and earth, the supramundane powers, as the Chinese regard them, inferior only to Shang-Ti, the supreme ruler. This step seems to have been taken to avoid the difficulty which has existed in the case of Chinese Christian students, who had conscientious scruples with regard to the "worship of Confucius" which was required of all who sought admittance to the new schools and colleges. As a result of this edict Confucius will now be regarded as above the plane where worship is permitted for any except the emperor. Thus, says Record of Christian Work, by a clever ruse a great difficulty has been removed from the educated Chinese Christians. Interdenominational Beneficence The late Edmund P. Dwight, who died in Philadelphia in 1903, and left large sums of money to religious causes, evidently was not a strong denominationalist. The orphans' court of Philadelphia has just awarded these bequests: Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, $50,000; Presbyterian Church of America, $50,000; Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States, $20,000; Young Men's Christian Association, $15,000; and American Sunday School Union, $15,000. Small Pay. The average salary paid to the missionary is as follows: To the unmarried college-bred man, $700; to the married man, $1,000 to $1,200 (with $100 extra for each child); to the unmarried woman, $500 to $700. The basis for fixing the remuneration is not compensation for work done, but merely support. *Fresh Air Work Supervision.* Rev. John B. Devins, D. D., the editor of the New York Observer, has been appointed superintendent of the fresh air fund of New York city, which for 30 years has been providing country outings for the children of the slums in hot summer weather.

You Look Prematurely Old HERE'S ONE ON THE "ROOKEY." Gets Sentry Call Twisted When Dazzled by Commander. A drummer sometimes gets his orders twisted, but never quite so badly as the "rookey" I saw down at Chickamauga when the troops were being mustered in for the Spanish-American war, says a traveling man in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This boy, from St. Louis, was on the way to the front and proud of it. He had his first assignment to guard duty and he had been carefully instructed as to calling "Who goes there?" The officer in command of the division was a dignified martinet. The "rookey" had never seen him. About midnight the general came home from a reception in town. He was all fixed up in his dress togs and he was the swellest thing the new guard ever saw. As the general passed his post the boy gazed at him open-mouthed. Just in time he remembered he was expected to say something. So he gasped: "There goes who?" ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Remedies Brought Prompt Relief. "I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all suffering with eczema.

In a small church in one of the mining towns of Pennsylvania was a pulpit both antique and unique. It was about the size and shape of a flour barrel, was elevated from the floor about four feet and was fastened to the wall. The ascent was by narrow winding steps. A minister from a neighboring town, a man of great vigor and vehemence, preached there one Sunday. While preaching he bent forward and shouted out with great force the words of his text: "The righteous, shall stand, but the wicked shall fall." Just as these words escaped from his lips, the pulpit broke from its fastening, and he fell out and rolled over on the floor before his congregation. In an instant he was on his feet and said: "Pre, sen, I am not hurt, and I don't mind the fall much, but I do have the connection." TWO TERRIBLE YEARS.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."
