All the other stations were filled, after which J. W. Wheeler, assisted by Sister Price, of 2607 Papin street, installed the officers. Much credit is due Sister Hattie Williams, who worked to organize this temple. A number of sisters were initiated by Elizabeth Temple, at which time Mrs. Caddie Jackson, of 3522 Cozens avenue, presided. She showed her ability as a presiding officer. Mrs. Price acted as captain and r.Mulae Brunner obligated the candidates. This was a grand success. At the close all partook of refreshments and returned home well pleased with the new temple.

Moore, whom the order loved, and now pay homage to his memory. Mrs. Moore has served for 15 years, and during most of that time she has had the able support of Mrs. Arlivia C. Watson, one of Missouri's best women, and the best public speaker who is now before the public. Mrs. Watson has time and again refused to become a candidate on account of her friend, Mrs. Moore. Now the constitutions forbids any one holding office over four years, and for that reason Mrs. Watson is a candidate, and we are confidend the Grand Temple will elect Mrs. Watson, regardless of where she lives, as long as it is in some part of the jurisdiction of Missouri. The Grand Temple is not asking "Petticoat" Logan whether or not she lives in St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis or Minnesota, just so she is loyal to the order.

SUICIDE BELIEF IS GROWING Faye Magill Says, "Our Only Crime Was Marrying Too Soon After Pet's Death."—Is Very Clinton, Ill.—The report of the medical expert who made an analysis of the stomach of Mrs. Pet Magill was received in Clinton and delivered to Prosecuting Attorney Miller. He put it in his pocket and at first refused to tell what the contents of it were. Mr. Miller announced the medical experts declared in their report that Mrs. Magill died from chloroform poisoning. No trace of strychnine was found, but only a trace of arsenic. "The theory the state will go on now is that there was a suicide pact between Mr. and Mrs. Magill," said Miller, "and that she carried out her part of the agreement." The belief is growing here that Mrs. Magill did commit suicide. The analysis was made by Drs. Adolph Gehrman and John Wesen of the Columbus laboratory of Chicago. Dr. George P. Edmonson, mayor of Clinton, went to Chicago and brought the report back with him. Soon after he arrived he said to Richard Lemon, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Magill: "You have nothing to fear from the report of the experts." Mr. Lemon inferred from this that no poison other than chloroform and a trace of arsenic was found in the stomach. The defense admits arsenic may have been found, but that it came from the embalming fluid. Parents Talk Freely. This bride of a month, arrested for murder before her honeymoon had waned, is deeply in love with her husband. Her cell is upon the north side of the jail. Her husband, Fred Magill, is in a cell almost directly opposite, upon the south side of the jail. Standing inside the grated doors of their cells, they can see each other and talk to each other, but they can not reach out and touch even their finger tips. "They stand that way and talk to each other nearly all day," said Mrs. Campbell, wife of the sheriff. "I never saw a woman so much in love with a man as Faye is with Magill. She worships him." The young wife looks much better than any of her pictures that have been printed in the papers. They were from photographs made a year or so ago and show her wearing glasses. There is a serious look, too, that is not flattering. "The only crime we committed, if we committed any, was in marrying too soon. But it was love that impelled us, and surely love is no crime, is it?" and she laughed a hearty laugh that hadn't a note of care in it. She would say nothing more. The father and mother of Mrs. Faye Graham. Magill talked freely about their daughter's case. They live in a cottage with a broad, shaded lawn. Mr. Graham is in the real estate and insurance business. GOVERNOR DENIES CHARGES. Folk Declares He Never Discussed Political Ambitions. Jefferson City. Mo.—In reply to former Police Commissioner F. F. Rozelle, who was removed from the Kansas City police board by Gov. J. W. Folk, and who declared that this action was taken to boost the governor's political prospects, the state executive declares unqualifiedly that Rozelle's statements are untrue. Gov. Folk states that never had he discussed his political ambitions with Rozelle, but he had told the commissioner that if all the things he had heard regarding Chief of Police Hayes were found to be true after investigation the chief should not be recommissioned.

Kenosha, Wis.-Deeds have been filed here for the transfer of all the property owned by the so-called pow- der trust at Pleasant Prairie to the Lafin-Rand Powder company MUSSULMANS IN HOLY WAR MASSACRE OF ALL CHRISTIANS IN MOROCCO THREAT- ENED BY TRIBES. Twelve Killed in Outbreak—Rlots at Casa Blanca Follow Attack on Harbor and Railway Works. Tangler, Morocco—The outbreak of a holy war, with the massacre of all Europeans in Morocco, is threatened. At Casa Blanca, where the murder of foreigners has already begun, British and German steamships are taking off refugees. Twenty thousand Mussulmans are encamped about Casa Blanca and an attack on the town is likely at any moment. A new danger is threatening Europeans in Casa Blanca, according to information arriving at this place, the Moors refusing to allow them to take refuge on ships. It was stated that the thousands of fanatical natives surrounding the town were indulging in demonstrations as though preparing for an attack. Trouble began here with the arrival of the chiefs of the Chaco tribe with a demand on the Bashaw for the immediate suspension of harbor work. To the Bashaw's reply that operations were being carried on with the Sultan's consent, the chiefs answered that the Sultan's authority was no longer recognized, in view of his compliance with the Christians' orders. Tribesmen Invade City. An invasion of the city by the tribes followed afterward. The harbor and railway works were attacked and two guardians of the port, six French residents, three Spaniards and one Italian were killed in the fighting. Numerous shops and dwelling houses were pillaged, while mounted men drove through the streets preaching a holy war and commanding all Mussulmans to leave town, as the tribes were about to exterminate all Jews and Christians. When the French consul called on the Bashaw and demanded the assistance of native soldiers to suppress the disorders and recover the bodies of the dead Europeans, the official evaded his request, but eventually furnished an escort for the recovery of the bodies. The Frenchmen were unable to restrain their anger when they saw the corpses, and after their expressions of resentment, the Moorish soldiers threatened to fire on them, forcing them to flee to the harbor and take refuge on the ships, after a narrow escape from the pursuing crowd. While the French forces in Morocco are sufficient to prevent a general massacre throughout the country, grave fear is felt for Europeans in remote localities. The French cruiser Galllee has arrived at Casa Blanca. The commander has ordered the Bashaw to protect Europeans, on penalty of his own head. Two of these massacre victims were burned alive and the rest horribly tortured. MAN AWAKE 25 YEARS. Spends His Nights in Chair With His Eyes Wide Open. Erie, Pa.—Joseph Root, a hermit resident of Presque Isle peninsula, says he has not slept in 25 years, and those who have become interested in the case believe the story. A number of well known physicians examined him. They say he is in a healthy condition and he was awake all the time they observed him. His close friends also vouch for his story. He says that about twenty-five years ago two dear relatives were killed in a railroad accident. He suffered so much from the shock that he gave up the idea of sleep and now remains in a chair all night, with his eyes wide open. After his rest in the chair he feels as much refreshed in the morning as if he had enjoyed a good night's sleep. Taft at Joplin August 26.

To the Officers and Members of the Most Worthy Grand Lodge and Delegates: I have noticed in the Palladium, our official organ of the U. B. F., that several men are claiming office in the Grand Lodge that do not even know the workings of the order, and will not do one thing to help to build their lodge up at home or visit the sick, and only attend their meetings to be elected to office or a delegate to the Grand Lodge. We hope every delegate and member will see to it that they will not be elected to any office, and sit down on such people until they are approved in the subordinate lodge and have the work of the order at heart and do something at home. The Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. has been called to meet in Kansas City, Mo. That is the right of the Grand Master. So far as the Masonic Grand Lodge is concerned, the members of the order are satisfied, and why should not "Petticoat" Logan be satisfied? Men who have no personal interest in the U. B. F. should keep silent and go and look for some woman that he might be the cause of her losing her position. The so-called editor of the Professional World is not a factor in the U. B. F., nor is he considered in any way. The last we heard of him he was up before the Grand Lodge in regard to his method of dealing in Columbia, Mo. Say, "Petticoat" Logan, has that been straightened out? It is reported that "Petticoat" Logan, of Columbia, Mo. (through the columns of the pattern sheet of which he is styled editor), is fighting Mrs. Arlivia Watson because sme is a candidate for W. P. of the state of Missouri. It is just like him; anything he can fight outside of men he is in for it. Record Breakers of the Season THE FAMOUS COLORED CITY EMPLOYES' SOCIAL CLUB ADMISSION 25 CENTS It is the right of every member of the order to aspire for higher things, and if the little mass of petticoats does not understand what jurisdiction is, he had better attend school. The Grand Lodge of Missouri extends her borders in Iowa and Minnesota, and their members living in any part of the jurisdiction are entitled to aspire to office. Mrs. Watson is a Missouriian and has been identified with the Grand Temple most all her life. She has won her laurels and is now entitled to first place in the Grand Temple. She and Mrs. Katie Moore have worked hand in hand for more than 14 years for the success of the Grand Temple, and believe the Grand Temple headed by that noble woman, Mrs. Katie Moore, will say "Amen" to the elevation of Mrs. Arlivia C. Watson for Grand Princess of the state of Missouri and its jurisdiction, regardless of what "Petticoat" Logan says. All good men and women are for the upbuilding of our women, and not the cause of their downfall. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Why go whying about getting offices? These are the candidates for Grand Master: Dr. J. T. Caston, Wm. H. Harrison, J. H. Williams, S. E. Howard, C. C. Hubbard, Chas. Brown, Endowment Secretary—S. T. Pettigrew, C. C. Hubbard, J. B. Coleman, J. N. Jackson, Charles Brown. Grand Treasurer—W. C. Gordon. We know of no candidate for grand treasurer but W. C. Gordon. It seems that all have conceded the election of the St. Louis man, as St. Louis ought to have one of the three important offices—either that of grand master, endowment secretary or grand treasurer. The delegates are solid for our man and we ought to have him. Record Bro COLORED CITY ADI HARRY DENNY, President. CHAS. BLUMFIELD. Manager. AT BLOEK 620 Headquarters: S.

On account of the increase in his business, Mr. Sam Weisman, better known as Sam, The Tailor, will remove his place of business to 1322 Olive street. The removal will take place about August 15th. Don't fail to get your next suit from him at the old stand, 204-6 North 14th street. You can then say, "I bought my last suit at the old stand for I got it cheaper." Then be sure that you get the first suit that is made at his new stand. Mr. Sam is undoubtedly the best man that you will ever meet. When a person has financial dealing with a man he can be generally judged by this passage of scripture of our Lord's: "When I was hungry, you fed me; when I was in prison you came unto me and when I was naked you clothed me." All these things has he done. Some people believe that we should not deal with any other people but our own race. You must make and keep your friends, White and Black, and you will always have friends who will help you in time of need, and Sam, The Tailor, is that man. Prof. J.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS The Pleasant Workers' Club raised more than $12 in their financial rally last Sunday morning, and the prospects are that they will give $50 in the general collection next Sunday, at which time it is expected that more than $1,000 will be raised to be paid on the main debt of the church, together with the $1,000 that was raised at the last rally, will reduce the $12,000 down to less than $10,000. This is the right step in the right direction, hence every member should help to make this the largest collection of the season. Next Sunday is covenant day, hence it is hoped that the members will give at the collection table like they talk, and those who don't talk at all give, too, because it takes money to pay off debts, not talk. Don't forget to attend the Sunday school at 9 a. m. and the B. Y. P. U. at 5:30 p. m. The choir is rendering excellent service every Sunday. The songs are the latest. Books are passed around by polite ushers, hence everybody can sing. A PRAYER. I want to be a sunbeam in this wide world below; To scatter joy and gladness wherever I may go. When hearts are bowed with sorrow, with sickness or despair, Then as a shining sunbeam I would like to enter there. Where Disappointment's heavy tread hath left its track behind, Oh, Jesus, Saviour, help me the bleeding heart to bind; Where fortune fails, and friends forsake, and health and strength depart, Then let me, like the sunbeam, shine through that lonely heart! Where someone hath a burden that seemeth hard to bear. Then, blessed Saviour, help me the heavy load to share. Where clouds, seem dark and lowering at morning, noon or night, Then let me, like the sunbeam, dispel them with the light. Oh, let me be a sunbeam in this wide world of ours. To smile away the shadows, to kiss the drooping flowers! And let me raise the bending head to make the sad heart glad! Now give me strength, dear Jesus, and wisdom for the task. And let me come to Thee each day, about my work to ask. When I am weak, then make me strong; come, shine into my heart, For where the sunbeam shineth the shadows must depart. —Phoebe C.

Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Feruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics.

GOLDEN TEXT.—"Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle." —Exodus 4:34. He work on the tabernacle was begun in the seventh month from the Exodus, and completed during the remainder of the year. The tabernacle was dedicated on the first day of the year, on the first of Abib (called also Nisan), B. C. 1490—the latter part of March or early in April. PLACE.—The plain, Er-Rahah at the foot of Mount Sinai. The wilderness. REFERENCES.—History of the tabernacle.—Ex. 9, 40; Heb. 8; Ex. 40:17-33; Num. 2:17; Josh. 18:1; Sam. 21:1-6; 1 Chron. 16:39; 2 Chron. 13:6; 5:4 compared with 1.3, 5 and 1 Kings 8:5. 4: Figurative Meaning of the tabernacle.—Cor. 5:1; Heb. 8:2-6; 9:1-12; 2 Pet. 1:13; Rev. 21:3. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Tabernacle (vs. 1, 2). There are not a few difficulties in the way of obtaining an accurate idea of the form and construction of the tabernacle, from the descriptions given: as usual in all attempts to realize a description. Even the form of so simple a thing as the golden candlestick it was impossible to copy in brass from the description given till the model was found in the triumphal arch of Titus at Rome pictured among the treasures he brought from Jerusalem after its destruction. Spiritual Meaning of the Tabernacle. At all times there is need of visible expressions and manifestations of the unseen spiritual things to help even the most educated, cultured, and holy men to realize the unseen God and character and life. So through nature we understand God and keep him in mind, as nearly all we know of the sun is revealed to us by the reflection of its rays on material particles in the air. So the institutions of religion are "the shadow of heavenly things" (Heb. 8: 5.) Still more were these institutions necessary in the early education of man. So the great churches and cathedrals of the agen when few could read and write are filled with pictures and carvings of the Bible story. It taught the gradual progress of the soul toward God; step by step we move Godward and heavenward, each stage more precious as we draw near to him. There is a fourfold teaching of the gradual education. (1) The movement is from the camp to the priests' square, then to the court of the barnacle, to the holy place, to the Holy of Holles. (2) The progression is from the bronze of the outer court, to the silver of the tent, to the gold of its candlestick and altar. (3) From the linen curtains of the outer court to the embroidery of its portieres, to the tapestry of the curtains of the tent. (4) From the symbolism of the furniture of the court and of the tent, as described below. The Ark of the Testimony or witness, containing the tables of the law, the covenant between God and man, and the witness to the obedience of man. The ark was a chest of shittim wood, overlaid with gold within and without, three feet nine inches long, two feet three inches broad and deep. Over it was the mercy seat of gold, upon which were the cherubim, perhaps "a symbolical representation of the redeemed." This was the central object of the tabernacle, the place of God's presence, reached only by a heart that loves and obeys God's law, and through his loving mercy in forgiving and cleansing. The altar symbolized the need of sacrifice for sin, for some atoning power. The Laver (v. 7). symbolized the necessity of moral cleansing before one can enter the Holy Place. "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." The Candlestick (v. 4.) symbolized the true, sanctified people of God, letting their light shine, themselves fed by the spirit of God, the source of all light. The Table of Shewbread (v. 4). Opposite, on the north side, to the right, as one faced the Holy of Holies, was a goldplated table on which were placed the twelve loaves of bread in two golden dishes. It was three feet long, 18 inches broad, and 27 inches high. God's Visible Presence (vs. 34, 38). —The shining cloud came to show that God was with them, a consuming fire to the wrong-doer, but a Glory and Guide, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. The Golden Altar of Incense (v. 6) stood just before the entrance to the Holy of Holies. It was 18 inches square and three feet high. The fragrance of incense, its preciousness, and its beautiful clouds rising to heaven make it a suitable symbol for prayer and thanksgiving, the means of communion with God. After the experiences typified by these objects, one can meet God in the Holy of Holies and live according to the laws of his covenant, as near to heaven as it is possible to be on earth. The Table of Shewbread.—The bread typified that we need our daily spiritual bread in order to grow good and to be fitted for God's service as much as we need daily bread for our bodies. The healthy soul is full of hungers and thirsts, and every one of them needs the food that satisfies them. The soul that does not hunger is sickly, as is the body without appetite. Jesus Christ satisfies all these hungers. The Priestly Service (vs. 12, 13).—Even the priests must be cleansed and anointed with oil as set apart for God's special service. RIPPER IS AT WORK RIPPER IS AT WORK TWO WOMEN MYSTERIOUSLY SLAIN IN NEW YORK. DESEROYS TRACE OF ALL CLEWS Murderer of One Returns Unchallenged to Scene of Crime—Armenians Are Suspected. New York.—The police and detective departments of Greater New York are baffled by two murder mysteries, the victims in both cases being young and beautiful women. There are but slight clews, apparently, to lead to the arrest of the man or men guilty of the crimes. The mangled body of a comely young woman of about 20 years was found in the basement of a respectable apartment house at 20th East Ninetieth street. It showed the finger and nail prints and marks, particularly on the neck, proving that she had been strangled before she had been subjected to abuses. "Every indication," said Coroner's Physician Lehane, who performed the autopsy, "pointed to the work of a 'Ripper.' The crime was not one of the ordinary kind. It was not murder for revenge or hate, but the work of a fiend." Mangled After Death. A policeman passing the house say in the hallway a pair of woman's shoes. In searching he found the body in a coal bin. Just below the neck and the upper part of the body the "ripper" had pounded the woman with his fists until there was not a white spot remaining. He had literally torn piece after piece of flesh away. The autopsy showed that this had been done after death. Dr. Lehane's examination divulged that the woman had met death within a few feet of where she lay, and that the murder had been committed within four or five hours prior to the time the discovery was made. One theory of the police is that she was strangled to death because she informed the authorities as to the identity of the plotters who caused the assassination of H. S. Tavshianjian, the millionaire merchant. It was a woman who informed the district attorney's office of the fact that a priest was in the company of little Bedros Hampartzoomian a few hours before the latter shot down the rug merchant. Mrs. Sophie Kobler, of Tonawanda, N. Y., was found slain, strangled with a man's necktie, in her room in a high-class boarding house, where she had been living as the wife of a man named Davidson. GOVERNOR FOLK FLAYS POLICE Says Kansas City Department Protects Thieves and Railways. Jefferson City, Mo.—A crisis was reached in the police investigation that has been under way at Kansas City the last three months, when Gov. Folk not only peremptorily removed Commissioner Frank Rozzelle but issued, perhaps, the most scathing statement regarding the police methods in Kansas City in the past that was ever given publicity by a governor of the state. The governor plainly says that certain crooks have been protected by the police, and that, to some extent, the police department has been manipulated not only in the interest of the Metropolitan Street railway, but that gamblers and notorious characters have been protected and innocent persons punished. The governor was evidently in a bad humor when he returned from Texas over the dilatory tactics of the Kansas City police board. He was not in his office ten minutes until he telegraphed to Commissioner Rozelle, asking for his resignation by telegraph. When noon came the governor was not hungry. His office force was, but that did not matter to the governor. He waited and waited for a reply. None came. About 3 o'clock the governor indicted another message to Mr. Rozelle. Sen. Charles Francis Powell Dead. St. Paul, Minn—Brigadier General Charles Francis Powell, U. S. A., a retired soldier, died at the home of his brother in this city, aged 63 years. Land Sinking Stops Trains. Colon—The land around Lion Hill, 10 miles from Colon, is reported to have sunk.

Smith, a prominent shingle manufacturer, was killed by the overturning of his automobile. Two companions, Duncan McKidden and John Nelson, were injured. Suspected Hold-Up Arrested Butte, Mont.—George Tower, who is believed to have participated in the attempted hold-up of the North Coast Limited a few months ago, when Engineer Clow was murdered, was arrested here. Refrigerator Plant Destroyed by Fire. Chicago.—The plant of the Chicago, New York and Boston Refrigerator company at 51st street and Central Park avenue, was destroyed by fire. Damage is estimated at $300,000. MISSOURI STATE NEWS MISSOURI STATE NEWS A Beauty Salon Kissar A brave saloon Keeper A drowning and unusual method of recovering the body occurred at a pond six miles northeast of Joplin. Jesse Stephenson, aged 23, son of Thomas Stephenson, whose home is near Seneca, Mo., was drowned. Stephenson and a lad named Thomas Surridge went to an old caved-in mine to bathe. The broken ground, forming a jagged, precipitous hole, is almost full of water. Stephenson could not swim. Surridge plunged in and Stephenson, believing the water shallow, waded out. Suddenly he went over the bank and sank. Surridge tried to rescue him, but the drowning man nearly dragged him down. A crowd gathered and for four hours the efforts to locate the body in the water, 28 to 30 feet deep, were unavailing. Finally Lee Divert, a saloon keeper of Webb City, arranged to go into the depth. A long rope was secured and to this was attached a 40-pound weight. Holding to this Divert was lowered into the water and at a depth of more than 30 feet found the body of Stephenson. He grasped it in his arms and was hauled to the surface. A Cause Celebre After seven years of litigation the case of Shay vs. Floyd has at last been disposed of at Butler. This is the case known as the dog and colt case and came up from Cornland. Shay alleged that a dog belonging to Ford had scared a colt of his and in some way caused the death of the colt. He at once brought suit for $50, the value of the colt. While the suit was pending, Floyd died. The case came up three times in the probate court. Some time ago the parties in the suit agreed to compromise, each side paying its own costs. The Floyd land was sold recently and the balance of the costs were paid to the circuit clerk. The costs in the several cases aggregated $450. The University Library. The library of the University of Missouri receives regularly 662 periodicals, of which 281 are given or are received in exchange. When the volumes accessioned and unaccessioned and the pamphlets which will take their places as volumes on the shelves have been counted the total number of volumes belonging to the library will reach about 100,000. One of the great needs of the library is special collections of books on various subjects. The income of the library is not sufficient to purchase such collections. Here is an excellent opportunity for men who have at heart the interests of education, especially at the University of Missouri to invest a few dollars for the encouragement of research work. Joplin's Normal Attendance. Jasper county has a larger number of students attending the Southwest Missouri state normal school at Springfield this summer than is credited to any other county in this district. There are 45 young people enrolled from that county, and because of their numerical strength they have organized a Jasper County association. A Change in Date. The date for the laying of the corner stone of the Fourth district state normal school in Springfield has been changed from August 10 to August 9. It was impossible for Gov. Folk to be there the 10th. A class of 35 will be graduated at that time. Although the school started only one year ago it now has 740 students, the second largest enrolled among the state normals. Insurance Profits In the year 1906 the people of Missouri paid out $8,500,000 for fire insurance and received back but $3,500,000 for fire losses. The Missouri Meerschaum. Those literary devotees of "the weed" who have contributed to its extensive bibliography have celebrated pipes of meerschaum, of brair, or apple root, of white clay, and even the "calumet" of Lo, the rich Indian, but somehow have overlooked the claims of the Missouri corn cob, says the Globe-Democrat. Yet smokers are not blind to its merits, as is evidenced by the fact that two Missouri counties—Franklin and Dent—last year shipped 26,193,448 of these pipes; and Washington county, where the "Missouri meerschaum" was first perfected, has not yet reported. Perhaps $80,000,000 cob pipes are manufactured and sold annually in the United States—one pipe for each inhabitant. Bank Cashier Killed Vollle Kissel, assistant cashier of the Farmers' bank at Pleasant Hill, was killed by a westbound Missouri Pacific passenger train at Greenwood. Mr. Kissel was 23 years old, and had been in the employ of the Pleasant Hill bank about four years. . .is father, R. M. Kissel, is a retired farmer of Greenwood. Pigs are Pigs This Year. A practical Carterville man gave his sweetheart a pig. The time soon came when he wanted his presents back and marched home with the pig. But the gentle maiden protested and had him arrested for larceny. This year pigs are pigs in Missouri. She Lived in St. Joseph 67 Years. Mrs. Martha S. Matney, 73 years old, died at St. Joseph recently. She, in company with her husband, the late James A. Matney, went to St. Joseph in 1840. Cauliflower, $900 an Acre This is What is Being Done on South Texas Land. Dr. Chas. F. Simmons Has Cut Up His Ranch of 95,000 Acres and is Selling Truck and Fruit Farms of From 10 Acres to 640 Acres (Including Two Town Lots) For $210. Payable $10 a Month Without Interest. The Hon. Joseph Daily, of Chillicothe, Ill., who owns thousands of acres in the Illinois Corn Belt, says: "I am one of the heaviest taxpayers on farm lands in Mason and Tazewell Counties, Illinois, and I have been familiar with the conditions around San Antonio. Any thrifty farmer can get rich, and make more money off of this cheap land than, anyway, any land in the State of Illinois, that sells from $150 to $225 per acre." Investigate this before the land is all sold. For full particulars and beautiful views of the ranch, write DEATH IN A NEW GUISE. Solemo That Landed a Hungarian Judge in Town Jail. In a little village on the Hungarian frontier, not far from Presburg, a peasant woman recently received 400 kronen ($85) from her husband in America. She promptly deposited it in the local branch of the postoffice savings bank, and then the next day went to withdraw the whole amount. The bank official was somewhat surprised, and asked for an explanation, when she said that Death had appeared to her during the night and threatened to take her away with him unless she had the 400 crowns ready for him the next night. Thegendarmes were communicated with, and when "Death" made his promised appearance he was found to be very much alive, in the person of the local judge. The woman's money is still in the bank, and the judge is in jail.—Pall Mall Gazette. Dr. McCosh's Impression. "Ah, I have an impression!" exclaimed Dr. McCosh, the president of Princeton college, to the mental-philosophy class. "Now, young gentlemer" continued the doctor, as he touched his head with his forefinger, "can you tell me what an impression is?" No answer. "What; no one knows? No one can tell me what an impression is?" exclaimed the doctor, looking up and down the class. "I know," said Mr. Arthur. "An impression is a dent in a soft place." Go Out to Welcome Bells. Curious scenes occurred at the village of St. Keverne, Cornwall, on the arrival of a new peal of bells for the parish church. A large procession of villagers, headed by the local band, marched out to meet the bells, which were drawn by horses on four wagons, Men, women, and children carried flags and wreaths and wild flowers were laid on the bells.—London Graphic. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Largest Wooden Structure The Parliament building in Wellington, New Zealand, is the largest wooden structure in the world. In Wellington and some other New Zealand towns almost every house is constructed of wood. So likewise are large churches and business houses. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

Diversified Existence An old brick laboratory in Middletown, Conn., which was torn down Saturday, has been put to many uses since its erection in 1825. Originally it was a gunhouse, but it has since been used as a hospital, an eatinghouse, a carpenter shop, an icehouse, and an electrical laboratory. Too Heavy. "But, my good fellow," said the divine, "did you ever take a bath?" "No, sir," the tramp answered, humbly. "I never took nothin' bigger'n a teaspoon." "Going Some." Two of our colored brethren were engaged in heated argument. The "retort courteous," without the qualifying adjective, had been passed and returned. Suddenly the larger of the two moved up aggressively. "Yuh nyah youh! If Ah hit yuh, Ahm a-gun! to knock yuh so fah dat der ain't no railroad train kin bring yuh back!" The other looked at him a moment speculatively. Then: "Niggah you-self yuh brack map o' Africa! If Ah hit yuh, Ahm goin' to knock you so fah dat it'll cos' eight dollars to sent yoh a postal card!" Whereupon the tall one, realizing that the limit had been reached, passed his "chaw," and peace reigned again—Judge.

THE CHRISTIAN WORLD Story of the Remarkable Founding of a Bible Institute. That faith in God will accomplish things which to man may seem impossible has received remarkable demonstration in the history of the Bible Institute of Pittsburg, Pa. It is an organization whose Christian activities are sustained entirely through prayer. one of the very few cases of the kind in the United States at the present time. The history of sible has received remarkable demonstration in the history of the Bible Institute of Pittsburg, Pa. It is an organization whose Christian activities are sustained entirely through prayer, one of the very few cases of the kind in the United States at the present time. The history of this singular work now in its sixth year, is a most interesting one, says the Christian Herald. With absolutely no endowment or permanent fund; with neither collections nor salaries, and without even telling of the needs of the work either in public or private, this institute, with its 40 students, has been acquired and equipped throughout, until now it represents $350,000 worth of property held in trust. To make the matter seemingly still more inexplicable, it may be stated that no charge for tuition is made. How then has all this been accomplished? Simply by earnest prayer and simple trust in God. The story of the work is best told, perhaps, in the words of the pastor and founder, Rev. Charles H. Pridgeon, formerly of the First Presbyterian church, Canonsburg, Pa. He says: "For eight years before the work was started there had been prayer and waiting on God for a work of faith and the way to be opened. On July 24, 1901, my wife and I spent the night in special prayer. We asked the Lord to guide us as to beginning a Bible institute. Next morning, a telegram came which led to a conference and the offering of a building, to be used as church and institute. We designed from the church where we had spent almost 12 years of delightful service, in obedience to this call." On the eighth day of December, 1901, the Pittsburg Bible institute, unaccompanied, sustained by faith and free to all, was founded and opened. After 100,000 Men. The Laymen's Missionary Movement is now working to enlist the cooperation of, 100,000, men of all churches. The executive committee of the movement has just adopted the following declaration: "Believing it to be the duty of the church of Christ to preach the Gospel to every creature, it is our purpose to pray, to study and to work, as God may give us opportunity, that the church of this generation may obey this command." Men by the humans are signing this declaration and reading their names to the New York headquarters of the movement, where the names are forwarded to the foreign mission organizations of the various denominations. Veteran of New Hebrides After 33 years of service in the New Hebrides, Rev. Dr. Annand has returned to this continent. In the Hebrides he says women are bought and sold like cattle. A five-year-old child is worth two hogs, and the price increases with age—up to a certain limit. There is no excuse for a man being a bachelor, provided he can raise the price of a hog. After 50 years of mission work, all the islands are nominally Christian. In the interior of some of the islands, however, cannibalism is still a popular institution. Only a short time before he left several instances of cannibalism were reported from the interior. "Watch and Ward" Society. The New England "Watch and Ward" society of Boston, Mass., is running golden opinions from the citizens, of uprightness and integrity throughout the commonwealth of Massachusetts by the aggressive campaign it has instituted against buckshop gambling and the swindlers to congregate in its wake. The message of the anti-bucket shop bill both houses of the legislature will constitute a notable victory for Massachusetts in the annals of clean legislation. Forward Move of Pittsburg Mission. Superintendent Maurice Ruben, of the New Covenant Mission, Pittsburg, writes: "God's blessing has been blessing upon our work. Quite a number of conversions have taken place among our brethren during the past season. Recently the board of directors purchased a property on the corner of Reed and Crawford streets, Pittsburg. It is a three-story modern flat building, and on the vacant lot defining it is purposed to erect another building for the full equipment of the mission. Several departments are to be developed. Mission School Prospers wars. W. S. Horne, of the China in- ward mission station at Kanchow, makes that her mission school now is 32 scholars. The station now has a chapel, two dwellings, a school and out-stations. Eighteen years ago the people of that district had never heard the gospel. Patrick's Joy Dimmed by Thought of Wasted Opportunities. Patrick, recently arrived and unused to the ways of this country, was accosted one day by a member of the sporting fraternity, who offered to impart to him, for a modest consideration, a marvelous way to make money without toil for it. All one needed, he said, was a small amount to bet on a certain horse that couldn't possibly lose. "And yez say Oi can get that money without working for it?" asked the bewildered Irishman, when the other was through explaining, "Sure thing. All the work you got to do is to count the mazuma." "I'll thy it," said Pat. So they hied them to a racecourse, the sporty-looking gentleman placed Pat's money at odds of five to one. And the horse won! Pat's joy was unbounded when he was handed a large roll of yellow-backed bills. Calling his new-found friend to one side, he asked in a voice that trembled with excitement: "Oi say, how long has this thing been goin' on?" A Prophecy as to Wheat. Unquestionably those now living may see the time when in some years the United States will import wheat if a surplus can be found anywhere. As a rule, however, we may expect to continue to export grain forever. The oldest and most densely populated countries of the world continue to export grain, and while the world endures there will always be exchanges of surpluses. As to our production we are probably nearing our maximum under present methods of cultivation. It is, however, easily possible to double our output by better methods of agriculture which we shall gradually adopt as increasing prices caused by the pressure of population warrant the increased outlay in production. Once More "Perpetual Motion" Once More "Perpetual Motion." David Unlapon, a full-blooded native of the northern territory, Australia, who combines a genius for mathematics with a passion for music, claims to have invented a machine which will secure perpetual motion. He is now in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, seeking the means of testing the feasibility of his mechanism. He explains that the forces which he proposes to use are gravitation and momentum and he had to come to Adelaide to seek the assistance of the aorinines department in procuring four beveled wheels, a spindle, a tube and so on. He is confident that when he gets these requisites he can put together a machine which will bring perpetual motion appreciably nearer. Jack and the Apple. It was during an arithmetic class in a country school that Jake Boggs was called upon to solve a problem. "Now, Jake," began the teacher, "if you have two apples and your little brother took one how many would you have left?" "I'd just like to see him try taking one," said Jake, shaking his fist. "Well," said the teacher, "we'll put it this way. Suppose you gave him one." "Yes; but I wouldn't do it," said Jake. "Just supposing you did, what would remain?" said the weary teacher. "A big fool, that's what," replied Jake.—Judge. Have Trouble with Your Food? Try Grape-Nuts Perfectly Cooked, Ready to Serve, Delicious and Healthful "The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked a few minutes in a half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an ox. "Any preparation of wheat or oats put into water that is below the boiling point and cooked as mush is usually served, remains a pasty, indigestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, the stomach of a person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stomach, the Duodenum, where in consequence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured. As an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomach of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vinegar barrel. "Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding." Knowledge of these facts and a wide experience in the preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the manipulations of any cook, good or bad. The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate sweetish taste, very palatable. Children and adults obtain fine results from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and so easily digested that many cases are on record of nursing babes being fed very successfully on it. "There's a Reason."

Instead of the accustomed quiet which prevails at the burial of the dead, great excitement and fear attended the burial the other day of Michael Sereno, a prominent merchant of Westport, when by the collapsing of a grave the coffin and several persons attending the services were hurled into a small pit. The final prayer had been said by the preacher, and the assistant to the undertaker stepped to the foot of the coffin to arrange the rope for letting the coffin into the grave. At that moment one of the pallbearers accidentally kicked out the crosspiece that supported the coffin. The coffin quickly descended into the grave, the body going feet first. The assistant hastened its descent by tumbling on it. Several persons rushed to the edge of the grave, causing the soil to yield, and in a few seconds five persons were lying in the pit half covered with dirt. They were pulled out, the coffin was dug out and laid flat, and after the grave had been redug the burial was completed.—N. Y. Press. TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA. Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sister Took Cuticura Pills. "I must give much praise to all the Cuticura Remedies. I used but one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, as that was all that was required to cure my disease. I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D. No. 6, Morrison, Ill., Oct. 3, "06." Good for Fishermen's "Bait" The remarkable heat-insulating effect of a vacuum is strikingly brought out in the claims made for a new sportsman's bottle. The vessel has double walls, being really one bottle within another, with a sealed-up intervening space from which the air has been withdrawn. It is asserted that liquids in this bottle can be kept hot 48 hours in the coldest weather, and that inced beverages will retain their delicious coolness for weeks in the hottest summer. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Minds of Lower Animals. Evidence of a mind in all animals, even the lowest, is found by F. W. Headley. The amoeba exercises the power of choice when it eats, and the tree-like colony of one-celled infusorians, called zoothamnium, after a time ceases to be agitated by jars repeated at intervals, showing that it must remember that a jar is harmless.

American interest in China since the Boxer rebellion has extended to the Chinese Jews, who settled at Kalfungfu during the Han dynasty, that ruled China from 200 B. C. to 200 A. D. The Kalfungfu colony is mentioned occasionally by European travelers, among them Marco Polo in the fourteenth century, while in 1600 and 1704 they were visited by Jesuit missionaries. To-day, according to Alfred K. Glover, writing in the Overland Monthly for May, the Chinese Jews are almost extinct, but their records and historical tablets are carefully preserved. Blackest of All. The millionaire from Pittsburg was observed to be loitering outside of the pearly gates. "Why don't you hurry up and knock?" queried a shade. "I'm waiting for that other chap to get ahead of me," whispered the Pittsburg millionaire. "And who is he?" "Why, a grafter from San Francisco. By the side of him I will seem as innocent as a lamb."

Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers.
