Dear Brother Wheeler—I desire space in your paper for a little city news, an eye-opener for all approaching ministers—"The Pathway of Life." The time must come when our whole race must die unless some one should endure torture and sorrow and shame. Who shall come to their rescue? Not one. Then Christ says, "Lo! I come to do thy will, O God." Oh, the Love! Oh, the endurance! Oh, the horrors of the sacrifice! Shall not our souls go out toward him, saying "Lord Jesus Christ take my soul." "Thou art worthy to have it." "Thou hast to save it." Of your earthly troubles you may behold the glorious constellation of a Savior's mercy and love. Oh, my friends, do not try to carry all your ills alone. Do not put your shoulder under the Appennines when the Almighty God is ready to lift up all your burdens. When you have a trouble of any kind, do not rush this way and that way, and wonder what this man and that man will say about it, or try this prescription and that prescription. Oh, why do you not go stright to the heart of Christ, knowing that for our own sinning and suffering race He took the vinegar. "Whosover will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." Yet while I write I am pained at the thought that there are people who will refuse this Divine sympathy, and they will try to fight their own battles and drink their own vinegar, also carry their own burdens. Thus their lives instead of being a triumphal march from victory to victory will be hobbling on from defeat to defeat, until they make a final surrender to retributive disaster. Oh, I wish I could gather up in mine arms all the woes of men and women, all their heartaches, their disappointments and chagrines and just take them right to the feet of the sympathizing Jesus. Nana Sahib, after he had lost his last battle in India, fell back in to the jungles of Iheri—jungles so full of malaria that no mortal could exist, and carried with him a ruby of great luster and value; there in the jungles he died, and neither his body nor the ruby has ever been recovered. Thus I fear some among us will fall backward from this subject into the sickening, killing jungles of their sin, carrying a gem of infinite value, a priceless soul to be lost forever. Oh, that that ruby might flash in the Eternal Coronation! But no. There are many, I fear, who will turn from this offered mercy and comfort and Divine sympathy, notwithstanding that Christ for all who would accept His grace trudged the long way and for the filthy mob and for the guilty, discouraged and discomforted of the race took the vinegar. May God Almighty break the infatuation and lead you into the strong hope and good cheer and the glorious sunshine of this triumphant Gosped. REV. DR. J. H. FORAKER, 3983 Papin street, St. Louis, Mo.

SHOOTS TWO MEN SHOOTS TWO MEN ONE DEAD AND THE OTHER MOR TALLY WOUNDED. TRAGEDY ENACTED IN A HOTEL Proprietors Had Reprimanded Couple For Creating a Disturbance in Room. Pittsburg, Pa.—Luwig Sczegiel, said to be an unattached Polish clergyman of Chicago, walked into a hotel at 1111 Carson street, and without warning drew a revolver and fired upon the proprietors, twin brothers, named Steven and Andrew Starznyski. Steven died within an hour and Andrew cannot recover. The cause of the shooting is a mystery. Sczegiel, who was arrested, refuses to talk, and nothing could be learned from either of his victims. When Sczegiel came to Pittsburg about ten days ago he went to the hotel kept by the brothers, accompanied by a woman whom he introduced as his housekeeper. They secured two rooms. The woman, who gave her name as Francisca Sprock, is held as a suspicious person. She denies all knowledge of the shooting.

"I am having large bollers put in the Roosevelt and a large square sail fitted for making better time before the wind," he said. "Just as soon as that is done I shall be ready to start." Peary does not contemplate remaining much longer than 14 months. He will carry provisions for three years, however. Mrs. Peary will not accompany him. MEN UNDER TRAIN.

New York—Then Tennessee, flying the flag of Rear Admiral Stockton, and the Washington, the most powerful cruisers under the Stars and Stripes, are home from Bordeaux, where, as the special service squadron, representing the United States, they attended the maratime exposition, afterward visiting the naval station at Brest. Within two weeks this pair of the newest and best vessels will be on their way to the Pacific, according to expectations from the navy Department. The cruisers will be docked for minor repairs, and within ten days or two weeks will be ready to start for San Francisco, several weeks earlier than was expected. Rear Admiral Stockton has finished his last cruise. 'He is to be retired. At Brest the Americans lay close beside the Japanese warships Tsukuba and Chitose, which were recently here. Officers of the two squadrons fraternized most cordially. "The reason the American and Japanese sailors did not fraternize," said Rear Admiral Stockton, "was because the Japanese ships arrived only the day before we left and the time was too short to give the men shore leave. We gave a dinner on the Tennessee and invited all the Japanese officers. Only Capt. Takenouchi of the Tsukuba attended, because the other Japanese officers had an engagement in Paris." The president of France gave a breakfast in Paris to the officers of the American squadron. The speeches expressed heartiest good will. Rear Admiral Stockton is succeeded by Rear Admiral Uriel Sebree, secretary of the lighthouse board. TROOPS OCCUPY BELFAST. Fresh Outbreak of Coal Strike, It Is Feared, Will Cause Bloodshed. Belfast, Ireland—This city is now under military occupation.

Striking carters caused fresh trouble by breaking off all negotiations to end their dispute with the employers. But the action in calling out the coal men again has brought matters to a head. On leaving work the coal strikers took possession of the streets. Troops were immediately called out. They were roundly abused and hooted at by the strikers and sympathizers. TRAIN JUMPS TRACK.

T. and was indorsed for Grand Master. We trust that there will be no advantage taken of any brother or sister of the order. If they have served four years in one office, there is no reason why they should not run for some other office. We ask that the welfare of the order be looked after; as this order is doing more for the race than any other, so be careful in the change, the change. Why the Missouri Pacific railway was accepted was because, in the judgment of all, this road employed more men of our race and they have first-class positions. Other roads, however, are following closely. Let the good work go on. Let our race become as one. Whoever does good for us, let us in turn patronize them as best we can.

T. in every particular, and the credit is due the present officers. Whatever may be said, the entire order has did its entire duty, and we congratulate them on their success, from the Grand Master to Outside Sentinel. Brother B. K. Bruce has been mindful and was careful in the affairs of the order. Rev. J. T. Caston, C. H. Tandy and Blanton are members of the board, and to them is due the success of the board's workings. Now comes the change of the entire officers of the Grand Lodge. We hope that the Grand Lodge will not make too sweeping a change for the good of the order.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities in lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places, the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but have grown the hairfirer hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of our value of our work is that we are being cultivated and laden by persons whose own lives we have actually grown, and the further fact that they have mentioned us when trying to sell their gods (saying that theirs "is the very God") "Just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" for Grower (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A. M. POPE.

The Grand Temple has been presided over by Mrs. Katie Moore, the widow of the late A. B. 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.

We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours With Trade Mark (Registered) TOPICS OF THE DAY. NEWS FROM EVERYWHERE. [Name] Mr. A. W. Wilkinson, the ex-detective, is now pushing to the front to show the public that he is a great sport promoter, especially in the way of athletics. He was the first Negro to purchase a bicycle in the city of St. Louis, over thirty years ago, and also the first to open a bicycle race track, and now he has purchased the Syndicate baseball club, composed of the most able Negro players in St. Louis. This team, now holds third position in the league composed of six teams, which is the first league ever organized in Missouri. The league includes two teams from Illinois—Brooklyn and East St. Louis. The league is known as the Sporting League, and offers two prizes—one for the team that wins the most games and one for the team finishing second. The Syndicates, which is one of the strongest teams in the league, will play the Imperials of East St. Louis, Ill., at their park, Twenty-third and East Broadway, Sunday, Aug. 11, at 3:30 p. m. Both teams being about equally matched, a very close game is expected. Mr. A. W. Wilkinson has enlarged his poolroom, which is located on the southwest corner of Jefferson and Lawton avenues, at which place the returns of the game are posted on a bulletin board in front of the poolroom. The Banners, a younger team, which plays at Newport, Ill., Sunday, Aug. 11, is also under the management of Mr. Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson is out of town on speciabul sinness, leaving both teams under the management of Mr. James D. Glass, who is a clerk in the St. Louis postoffice. He is also secretary and assistant of the two above-named teams. To Subscribers and Advertisers! Please call at the Palladium office next week and settle for your paper.

The covenant meeting was largely attended last Sunday and many gave testimony of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. There was more than $300 raised in the financial rally last Sunday. We are very glad of that, but sorry the $1,000 was not raised. It is reported that the preacher will not be given a vacation. If that is true, we would like very much to known why. Our honest opinion is that he ought to be given a decent vacation, just the same as was given to his predecessor, with full pay and requisites, too. Mr. and Mrs. C H. Evans, of Kansas City, the daughter and son-in-law of Rev. R. H. Cole and wife, spent a week in the city with their parents at 3527 Lawton avenue.

There is an abundance of knowledge to be gained at each meeting. WHY IS IT?—PLEASE ANSWER. That Marshall, the mail man, is not on the government pay roll any more? That preachers do not pay up as other people. If a paper is $2 per year they want it for $1, and some of them don't pay that? That some people like second-hand things and make as much fuss over them as if they were new? An old hat, coat, house or a club-faced mule is all the same. RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM The time is now at hand that the honest Negro should root out from among us these men and women who are living in open adultery. If men and women continue in this style then there is no hope for the race. Another Preacher Gone Wrong. Another preacher gone wrong will find Rev. Wilburn, St. Louis, up there. The two of them may find the combination—to do something beside swearing to a lie or stealing. A number of them have worked the washer-women to perfection, and now some of them are trying to wor kthe children. One of the strangest things in the life of the average common Negro is to have a good time. A few married women will go to Chicago and other places to have a good time against their husband's will. After two or three months they lose their honor as ladies or married women, and want to come back to husband or to mother. What think ye of this class? When Negro girls leave their homes at night to meet Negro boys not two blocks from their house, there is no good in it. Oh, the Palladium is alive to duty. It Beats the Band. Negro girls will not take their rest at nights and therefore can not give a good day's work. When you tell them of their feelings they say: "When my times comes I will die, so I am going to have a good time." The sooner such persons are dead the better for the race. POINTERS. When men, women and young ladies want to make the Palladium believe that they are big pumpkins, and we know better, then we like to take a shot at them. Last Sunday a few young girls welcomed their old chum back to St. Louis. They met on Lawton avenue and extended the olive branch. All's well that ends well. When persons are not willing to speak out for fear one of their family might make a misstep, we are sorry In due time they will be in it. When I was employed by others to do their work I did what was required of me; their will was my pleasure. When I could not do what was required of men I stopped and went to work elsewhere. Men who have their thousands are under obligation to their worthy and trusted employees, but those employees must make themselves worthy by taking an interest in their employer's business. Many persons get struck on what people say about them being amiable and pretty, but loveliness and amiableness are cultivated, and are not made by nature.

Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 11, 1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper LESSON TEXT.—Lev. 10:1-11. Memory verse 9. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."—Prov. 31 TIME—April B. C. 1490 (common chronology); on the afternoon (Lev. 10, 12) of the first day that the priest entered upon the regular sacrifices of the tabernacle (Lev. 8, 33; 9), eight days after the completion of the tabernacle, our last day of the tabernacle.—"The FLACE.—In the tabernacle near Sinai. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Situation—Everything was nearly prepared for the onward march toward the promised land. There had been nearly a year of instruction and training in the wilderness experiences and at Sinai. The tabernacle had been set up on the first day of the first month. The priests had been prepared and trained in their duty of leading the people in true worship. In 40 days, the 20th of the second month, they were to break up their long encampment and begin their journey (Ex. 40:17; Lev. 9:1; Num. 10:11-13). The moral law had been given. The ritual law had been announced and taught. The divine fire shone on the Holy of Holies, like the sun—light, peace, comfort, brightness, beauty, life to those who use it aright, but a consuming fire to those who despise and misuse its power. The divine fire had kindled the fuel on the altar; a perpetual flame (Lev. 6:13) “to be continually fed with the fuel especially provided by the congregation; and with the daily burnt offerings.” “Tradition assures us that it never was quenched till the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar.” — Dr. Ginsburg. The ceremonial of religion as appointed by God, to continue as the best method of worship and religious education of the people, was begun. V. 1. "Nadab and Abihu, the Sons of Aaron." His eldest sons (Ex. 6:23.) just inducted into the exalted office of priests, next to their father, the high priest, in the line of succession to the highest office of religious leadership and influence in the nation. A glorious opportunity was before them. They had passed through three great portals of usefulness and happiness. (1) Their parentage was a fine advantage. Moses was their uncle. Their exalted family had given them great privilege of association with the best in the nation. (2) Their education was remarkable. They had spent a year in God's wilderness training school, receiving the lessons of the riven rock, the quails, the manna, the law written on the tables of stone. Moreover, they had had the exalted privilege of beholding with their own eyes the glory of God upon the holy mount (Ex. 24:1, 9, 10). (3) They had passed through the portal of a glorious calling. They had been dedicated to a sacred and most honorable trust. They wore the garments that separated them, in the eyes of all men, to the priest's life of holiness and obedience. Before each of them was even the thrilling possibility of becoming high priest some day. Their sin was a direct, public, inexcusable disobedience to their God and leader. It partook of the nature of treason. They doubtless did it thoughtlessly, but there are occasions when thoughtlessness is a crime. The Necessity of the Punishment. It was the same as the necessity for all punishment,—in its justice, in its measurement of the evil of the sin, and its prevention of crime. No government of imperfect people can exist or does exist without it. "As has just been pointed out, the ritual system had been inaugurated on that very day. All was new and strange, easily disloaged, depreciated, or corrupted, and therefore needing special guarding. The bud needs, and has protection from rough husks, which the flower can do without. This swift death of offenders against the new order has its parallel in the swift death of Ananias and Sapphira, which is to be vindicated on similar grounds. There, too, the necessity was stringent for instant removal of a springing root of bifterness, by which many might be defiled, and for saving the young life of the community from disease, which, unchecked, might infect its whole future. One Cause of the Tragedy.—Vs. 9.11. 3. "Do not drink wine nor strong drink." The nearness of this injunction to the story of Nadab and Abihu implies that their sin was due, partly, if not wholly, to intoxication. "The Palestinian Chaldee adds here, 'as thy sons 'did who died by burning fire.'" —Ginsburg. "When ye go into the tabernacle." The reasons given for this prohibition are two: (1) The tendency of wine drinking is to obscure the (v. 10) "difference between holy and unholy" or common; and (2) they would be better prepared to (v. 11) "teach . . . all the statutes." Practical Points. Disobedience to God's laws is the road to death, whether it be disobedience to his moral laws or to the laws of health and right use of our bodies. Even the moderate use of strong drink shortens the life in years, and shortens it still more in its effective power. Alcohol is dangerous, not only by reason of the injuries it causes to the nervous system, but above all by the denutrition that it produces in an organism which indulges in it to excess.—Dr. Lancereaux, Academy of Medicine, France. THE PARABLE HE LIKED. Darky Would Have Had Trouble Picking It from Sacred Book. An old darky, anxious to be a minister, wert to be ordained. He was questioned thus: "Can you write?" "No, sah!" "Read?" "No, sah!" How do you know about the Bible?" "Ma niece reads it to me!" "Know about the Ten commandments?" "No, sah!" "The Twenty-third Psalm?" "Neber heard of him, sah!" "Know the Beatitudes?" "No, sah!" "Well, what part of the Bible do you like best?" "Parbles, sah!" "Can you give us one?" "Deed, yes, sah!" "Let us have it, then." "Once wen the queen of Sheba was gwine down to Jerusalem she fell among thieves. First they passed her by on de oddah side den dey come ovah an dey say unto ner, 'Fro down Jezebel!' but she wouldn't fro her down; and again dey say unto her, 'Fro down Jezebel!' but she wouldn't fro her down; and again dey say unto her for de fird and last time, for I ain't gwine to ax yo no mo', 'Fro down Jezebel!' and dey fro'd her down for 70 times and 7, till de remains were 'leven baskets; and I say unto yo', whose wife was she at de resurrection?"—Bystander. THE NEW YORK LIFE'S PROGRAM. Economy, Publicity and the Paramount Interest of Policyholders. President Kingsley, of the New York Life Insurance Company, says, in an address to the policyholders, that his plan of administration involves these points: "First: Strict economy; second, the widest, fairest and fullest publicity; third, the continuance of the New York Life as a world-wide institution; fourth, such an amount of new business under the law as we can secure while practicing intelligent economy, and enforcing the idea that the interest of the policy-holder is paramount." NO GAIN AND SOME LOSS. Neighbor's Comment in Which There Seems a Strain of Sarcasm. "Yes," the leader of the amateur brass band was saying, "it's curious to see what an effect learning to play a horn has on some persons. I used to be a pretty good bass singer, but I can't sing worth a cent now." "Does learning to play a horn spoil the voice?" asked his next-door neighbor. "It did mine." "How do you account for it?" How do you account for it? "I don't know how to account for it. Strains the vocal chords, perhaps. All I know is that I blew my voice out through the mouthpiece of my cornet." "Did you have a good voice?" "Everybody said so." "Then it's a great pity you ever learned to play a horn," rejoined his neighbor, shaking his head sadly. "I—er—think I should have enjoyed hearing you sing."—Youth's Companion. Productivity of the Hen "How many eggs is a hen wound up to lay during the term of her natural life, do you suppose?" said the man who has investigated. "No idea, eh? Well, sir, a good, healthy hen—not speaking of any particular star breed, but just hen—a good, healthy hen does not fulfill her destiny until she has turned out 600 eggs—50 dozen. That's what nature has fitted up a hen to do in the way of eggs, and she gives her eight years to do it in." Washington, Best. Assumes All Blame: "Well, there's one thing about Nuritch; he's always ready to confess his faults." "Nonsense! why he's forever bragging about being self-made." "Of course. That's just it." SOAKED IN COFFEE Until Too Stiff to Bend Over. "When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and biliousness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. "I gave up coffee entirely and the result has been that I have been entirely relieved of all my stomach and nervous trouble. "My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now, and without coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well." "A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. "I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place." "There's a Reason." Look in pkg. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Gravity Line in Missouri. Gravity Line in Missouri. Aurora—There is at least one railroad, and that in Missouri, whose motive power during part of its daily operation is wholly gravity. The Cassville & Western railroad, from Exeter to Cassville, in Barry county, is four miles long. It has two engines, three coaches and two freight cars as equipment. All trains on the Frisco at Exeter are met by this line. One of the passenger coaches is left at Exter when the other coach with the engine goes to Cassville, after meeting the northbound train. A few minutes later the Frisco southbound train arrives at Exeter and the single coach takes its quota of passengers to Cassville by the force of gravity entirely. The engine returns to Exeter with the two coaches, and the same operation is again gone through. The line is very profitable. Teacher Secures Damages Aurora—A verdict against Samuel Harrison, of West Plains, was been awarded in the sum of $400 in favor of Mrs. Hibbard, a school teacher in Howell county. Mrs. Hibbard, who had been released by the prosecuting attorney while a jury was being secured to try her on the charge of slaying her husband, returned to her duties in the district where she was to teach, and was refused admittance to the building. Harrison was one of the directors. Monroe City—Tony W. Finnigan, an employee of the stockyards in East St. Louis, Ill., and Miss Cora Buckman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Buckman, pioneer residents of this city, were married in St. Stephen's church, in this city. The couple have been sweethearts since childhood, and Mr. Finnigan told his bride when she was a little girl that he intended to make her his wife when he became established in the world. Capt. Charles B. Maus Dead. Jefferson City—Capt. Charles B. Maus, a veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, died at his residence in this city. He was 84 years old, and had conducted a mercantile business in this city in one building for more than fifty years. Capt. Maus was born in Germany. He came to St. Louis with his parents when about 8 years old. He settled here in 1844. Protects Family: Bitten. Sedalia—E. H. Hillyard, a well-known traveling salesman, while protecting his wife and little daughter from the attack of a mad dog, which ran upon the porch of their Quincy avenue home, was bitten through the index finger of his left hand. Mr. Hillyard had the wound cauterized and will use a madstone. Fire Chief Is Suspended. Springfield—William Canada, for eight years chief of the fire department, has been suspended by Mayor James Blaine, who has preferred charges of intoxication and neglect of duty before the city council. Canada has twice been investigated by the council within a year and each time exonerated. Negroes Hold Annual Picnic. Versailles—The negroes of Morgan and surrounding counties had their annual August 4 picnic here. Rev. Samuel Goans, of Jefferson City; Dr. P. C. Woods, Rev. N. White, of the First Baptist church of Versailles, and W. S. Emery, of the Methodist church of this city, made addresses. Young Husband Exiled. Trenton—Separated by the edict of two mothers, Wilber Newton, of Laredo, and his pretty bride, formerly Juanita Collier, of this city, are doomed to live apart for three years, or until the youthful husband attains the age of 21 years. Pioneer Missouri Woman Dies. Mexico—Mrs. Anne Kemp, aged 93, is dead. Mrs. Kemp was one of the pioneer settlers of this county, having come here with her parents from Kentucky ninety years ago. She was the mother of ten children, seven of whom survive. Dr. G. Y. Salmon Dead. Clinion—Dr. G. Y. Salmon, of the defunct Salmon & Salmon bank, died from a paralytic stroke. He had been helpless and speechless four weeks. Deceased was 80 years old, and had been in the banking business 39 years prior to the bank's failure in 1905. Damage at Hannibal. Hannibal—A terrific rain and wind storm swept over this city, unroofing houses, unroofing trees and blowing down fences. The roof of the chau-tauqua pavilion was blown off and the tent damaged. Sedalia Woman Burned to Death. Sedalia—While attempting to light the kitchen fire with coal oil Mrs. William Franken was burned to death. Veteran Newspaper Man Dead. St. Joseph-Solomon Frank, 69, business manager of the Daily Volksblatt and for four years business manager of the St. Joseph Gazette, is dead at his home here. He was born in Germany. Kansas City's Oldest Citizen. Kansas City—William Mulkey, who was Kansas City's oldest inhabitant, having come here from North Carolina in 1828, and who had been prominent in city affairs for half a century, died here, aged 83 years. 4 DEAD, 25 INJURED EXPRESS TRAIN IS DITCHED IN PENNSYLVANIA TOWN. WAS SIDESW:PED BY A COAL CAR Victims of Wreck Were All Residents of the State—Injured Taken to Kitanning. Pittsburg—Four persons were killed and 25 injured in a wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad at Kelly, about 35 miles from this city. The wrecked train was the Titusville express. While passing through Kelly the train was sidetracked by a gondola coal car, and the engine, tender, baggage and express cars, with three day coaches, were derailed. The victims all lived in Pennsylvania. The dead: Mrs. Alonzo Huff and male infant, of Johnstown, Pa. M. B. Irwin, of Oakmont, Pa., engineer of the passenger train. George Cockran, Rimesburg, Pa. At the office of the company the following account of the accident was issued: "The reports received so far have been of the most meager character. We understand, however, that the accident was due to a freight car on a northbound freight train either breaking down or jumping the tracks between Kelly Station and Ford City. This crippled car got on the southbound tracks, and before the engineer of No. 76 could bring his train to a stop it had plowed into the car and a smash-up followed. Our report has it that two were known to be dead and that 18 are injured, and that Engineer Irwin was among the dead. "We are having all the injured taken to the hospital at Kitanning, where their injuries will be temporarily dressed. Those not so seriously injured, and who wish to continue their journey, will be brought to Pittsburg, and those who are unable to resume their journey will be properly cared for. At 12:30 we had received no list of the injured." Flver Leaves Rails. Chicago—Speeding into this city at almost a mile a minute, New York express No. 5 on the New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad suddenly left the track just east of South Chicago and crashed and jolted along the ties for 1,000 feet spreading panic among the passengers of a dozen crowded coaches. Although scores of persons were hurled from their seats to the floor and badly bruised and cut, none, so far as known, were fatally injured. The accident was caused by the spreading of rails on a new stretch of track south of Chicago and Hammond. MOTHER STRANGLES BABIES. Woman Again Goes Mad After Three Terms in Asylum. Baltimore, Md.—"I went to Clifton Park and gathered some beautiful leaves, for I know they would keep the mosquitoes away from my babies while they slept. They are asleep, you know, but I-I am so tired I want to die." Smiling sadly, Mrs. Christine Nenadal said this as she clutched the bars of her cell with her toil-stained hands. The unhappy woman, wife of Joseph Nanadal, 26 years old, strangled their two little children in their home. The mother, who has been in a lunatic asylum three times, had again gone mad suddenly. The two children were Mary, 2 years old, and Yarosalov, 10 months. The mother, seemingly calm, went to Mrs. Victoria Vala and said: "Come over and see the children. I have dressed them and am going to take them out. They look so pretty. They are asleep but these leaves will keep the mosquitoes from them." "I followed her," said Mrs. Vala. "We entered her house and on the dining room table lay the brother and sister. Around Mary's neck was tightly knotted a stocking. Around the baby's neck was a piece of tape. Their mother gently scattered the leaves over the two and I ran away." German Assurance Law Amended.

I have just read in one of my ten-cent magazines that it is not too much to say that to the delicate, highly-strung, easily-knocked-up individual the advantages of sleeping in the open air are enormous.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any one wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Watching the Knife Play. "There is an awful fascination about seeing people eat with their knives," said he who has just spent a week on the farm for this health, with a retrospective look in his eyes. "A knife is such an unexpected instrument. You never know just where it is going to strike. You can't keep your eyes off. You are afraid to look for fear it might slip and cut the mouth half in two, and you are afraid if you don't look it might happen and you won't get to see it." The Sad Sea. The thin, pale man in the large bathing suit, standing knee-deep in the water, sighed. "Why," we asked, "are you so sad?" "Alas," he answered, "the sea is the grave of my first wife." Our lips curled superciliously. "But you married again," we l armured. "Yes," said he, "and my second wife won't go near the water." 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.

Military parades will be a feature of the occasion. MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY. Recognized as Such Over Almost All the World. Why does nearly all the civilized world wash clothes on Monday? What has Monday to do with washing? It was originally the moon's day and was sacred to the queen of night. I read in a schoolboy's history that the Pilgrims landed on Monday and the good women immediately set about washing the clothes that had been soiled on the trip over. We might judge from that alleged fact that no washing was done aboard ship; yet the finest place for such necessary work of sanitation and blessedness is out at sea where there is plenty of water and nearly always a drying wind. The voyage of the little Mayflower lasted 63 days, I believe, and as nearly as we can now reckon the landing was made at Plymouth Rock on a Monday, though some historians insist on Friday. It must have been a vile and filthy vessel on arrival, with 102 passengers and crew going over two months without washing their hien. Linen? What did they wear in 1620? Can you realize how big was the Mayflower? A miserable little bark of 160 tons (Capt. John Smith) or 180 tons (according to Bradford). A Little Debt for Husband. A four-year-old tot invited three older playmates into an ice cream saloon, where she magnificently ordered four plates of cream. When the detectable food had been eaten she calmly proceeded to walk out of the place without paying for it. The proprietor stopped her. Looking up into his face in the most innocent manner in the world, she lisped: "I can't got any money, sir. I'll pay you when I'm married." Concerning His Business. A Boston lawyer, who brought his wit from his native Dublin, while cross-examining the plaintiff in a divorce trial, brought forth the following: "You wish to divorce this woman because she drinks?" "Yes, sir." "Do you drink yourself?" "That's my business!"—angrily. Whereupon the unmoved lawyer asked: "Have you any other business?"—Everybody's. Brains are Built from certain kinds of FOOD Try Grape-Nuts "America has become a land of nervous emotionalists, largely owing to our sins against the dietetic health laws of nature. "Only outdoor exercise in a cold climate would enable vigorous individuals of our species to digest the viands forced upon alimentary organs enfeebled by sedentary occupations," wrote Dr. Felix Oswald. Brain workers must have different food than laborers, because brain work uses up parts of the brain and nerve centers, while physical labor uses up other parts of the body. Grape-Nuts, a food for brain workers, prepared by scientific food makers, is a pure, natural food made from selected parts of field grains known to contain the natural phosphate of potash and other elements required by the system in rebuilding and repairing the brain and nerve centers. This food is skillfully cooked at the factory and is ready to be served instantly with cream. At all first-class grocers and made by the Postum Co., at Battle Creek, Mich.

Goodell declares that what the church needs to-day most of all is a revival of home religion. "We are getting so busy," he says, "that we do not have time for famil. prayers. Father has to get off in the morning, and the children have to get off to school, and there are so many social engagements at night. Martin Luther said that prayer and provender hindered no man. "Let us go back to family worship. Let us go back to the train. WORLD MERCIVIAL Fervent ROM in Spirit Neither Hot REV nor Cold of nothing and your work of nought to 41.24 ing of the home. My father was never so busy that he did not get us all down on the kitchen floor before he went out in the morning, and have prayers. He had the old-fashioned way of praying for each member of the family, beginning with the oldest boy. I was the little one of the family, and whatever I was doing, I would stop when he got to me. I felt that if he was interested enough to talk with God about me, I had better listen, and I have never forgotten it." —Home Herald. TO PROMOTE SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Permanent Organization for Furtherance of World Wide Work. The most significant action taken by the World's Sunday School Congress at Rome was the creation of a new Sunday school organization called the World's Sunday School association. It consists of a picked body of well-known laymen and ministers from America, Great Britain and Europe who will have in charge the promotion of the Sunday school movement throughout all lands. The first president chosen for the new association was Rev. F. B. Meyer of London, while the chairmanship of the executive committee fell to America and was bestowed upon Dr. George W. Bailey of Philadelphia. Some of the well-known Americans who are members of the new association are President E. K. Warren of Three Oaks, Mich.; Mr. W. N. Hartshorn, of Boston; Mr. H. J. Heinz, of Pittsburgh; Mr. F. A. Wells, of Chicago; Mr. A. B. McCrillis, of Providence, R. I.; Mr. Marion Lawrence, of Chicago, and Bishop J. C. Hartzell of Africa, formerly of Cincinnati. To Honor John Calvin. Already arrangements are being made in this country to assist in the celebration of the quadricentennial of John Calvin, founder of Presbyterianism, in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1809. At a recent meeting in Union Theological seminary, New York city a committee of seven was appointed to secure the cooperation of religious leaders all over the United States in an endeavor to raise $25,000 for the American contribution toward a monument to Calvin, to be erected at his birthplace, Geneva. President Patton, of Princeton Theological seminary, is one of the leaders in the movement. What of the Future of China? What of the Future of China? The forces now engaged in Christian work in China, including independent workers who are without a home society, are under 82 societies, of which 33 are American, with 642 men, 486 wives, and 434 single women, a total of 1,562; 25 British societies have 729 men, 516 wives, and 543 single women, totaling 1,788; 24 Continental societies number 211 men, 131 wives, and 79 single women, in all 421; the "independent" workers make up the grand total of 1,604 men, 1,148 wives, 1,081 single women, aggregating, December 31, 1906, 3,833. Salvation Army Increase. The income received at the national headquarters of the Salvation Army last year was $113,285. Of this $9,066 was raised by special appeals and gifts. The result from the self-denial fund and harvest festival was $33,242. The sum of $9,905 was spent for national training homes; $3,099 for homes of rest and for relief to sick and wounded; $14,427 was paid in salaries to the staff and employees. Well Trained for Work.

Of the 20,000,000 people inhabiting Spain, only about 35 per cent. can read and write; another two and one-half per cent. of the population can read without being able to write, but the remaining $62\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. are absolute illiterates. In the south of Spain it is impossible to get a servant who can read and write, and many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed. They bring a bundle of letters to a house and the owner looks through them and takes those which are (or which he thinks are) addressed to him. The Spanish postmen are not paid by the state; the recipient of the letters have to remunerate them according to the amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addresser at least one cent. It is a joke among the easy-going Spaniards that he who treats the postmen best receives the most letters—whether they are intended for him or not. FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Boy In Misery 12 Years—Eczema in Rough Scales, Itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." The Tell Tale Voice. "If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to is telling the truth don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends. "It is the voice, when you don't look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow is lying. We use the system frequently in the bank. A man will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never in his eyes. If he's telling the truth his voice will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it. But if he's lying he'll be confused by your action, and his voice will tremble; he'll hem and haw, and clear his throat. You may rest assured then that he's stringing you." The biggest trap-shooting event of the year, known as the Grand American Handicap, held at Chicago in June last, resulted in an overwhelming victory for Winchester Shells.
