A Pair of Suedes Where They Arrived Through a Fortunate Error. VOL.19.NO.12. OR a few minutes they stood before the Kneesny street shoe store window, discussing the relative merits of widen, sitin and suede "Great, clumsy thing! 'couldn't he look where he was going?' Sue; it was as much our fault as his!" Now the man was neither great nor former in the future and had overcome the latter in his past. Furthermore, the glimpse he had had of the brown eyes gave impetus to his resolve of purchasing the glimpse he had given to which he was going, simply to please his friend, Charlie Graham. Hence he ordered and tried on the amused-designed furtive glances at the purchaser of the dainty pair of white suedes. The look took, hurried away to Beatrice Harcole's home on the Heights, leaving the clerk politely assuring them that the parcel would be delivered to it himself. No sooner had they it the store than the faithless cirture wilted from the purchaser's clerk who was leathered, and he, too, hurried away, for a little dinner at the restaurant with his best girl, was not to be disturbed for any Half past eight was sounding by the Harloes' big hall cail, and upstairs the two girls were arraying themselves to "Marie," called Beatrice, to her long-suffering little make-up artist, what shall I do? For the fifth time, Marie descended in quest of the vagrant gilpipes, and this time curried smiling, with the long-haired "Open them now and let me put them on awhile and ease them a little before I go." So she opened the box, and they behold a pair of manly patent leather, slim and shiny, and they tendered for Beatrice's tiny feet. The two girls surveyed each other in plank dismay, then solemnly and forcibly there came the reply, "What shall I do?" cried Beatrice, distractedly, "That wretched clerk, after all his promises, to make such a mistake! that's all, I haven't another decent pair!" "not exclaim," she after all, "my Marie-ry and bring up some bread crumbs-stale ones. Where are all your old slippers, and have them cleaned in the shake of a~very quickly, I mean!" primly, for Susan was herologically striving for a Western rack on life on a Western rack had cultivated. Out of various boxes an assortment of foot gear was produced and surveyed by the company. They pounced upon a pair of white suedes, not so bad after all, and vigorously self to work with the bread crumbs, with their pair of slippers vus produced. "You extravagant girl!" she laughed. "If you had been used, as I image, to make him wear a pair of slippers up once upon a pile of stale bread. Your dress is so long they never show; besides, who would suspect Miss Harlo, who has been wearing old ones? They'll never think of looking." "The little Hay," she laughed Beatrice, "you are such a comfort. We must hurry, it would not do to be late when I have to introduce all your partners." Jayses have their little mission in the world after all, eh! Honey Bee? quoth Sue. She would have gotten off to this cotton if it hadn't been for you, that's certain." she answered, as the two went gently down stairs, leaving the patent leather slippers, lying forgiven on the floor. Scratch scratch, went the pen, and sheet after sheet of medical students who were to be regulated on the morrow with Dr. John Mercedith's address on anonomy were not to be enbled, if length "were Just then there came a knock at the door, and, without waiting for an answer, Fred Graham entered the room. "He told me, 'What have you been about, you old fogy?' You'll 'but no dances if you don't hurry!' You'd dance for four years, as I told you," answered John, in the drawing, indifferent tone he always asked when matters social "well, you promised me you'd go to this. How do you expect to be a success in your profession if you drop so completely that two on three conquests to-night means as many 'calls' in the course of the week?" "Great heavens! You don't mean it?" (sarcastically). "Yes, and I will wear you haven't even thought of the dashing shoes you promised. "There you are wrong, dear boy, unusual. Thought of them just in the nick of time. "He's not a hand, will you?" giving himself a shake. He disdainfully let the other end of the long room, which was divided by porteries, and was dignified by the title of "master." There were fiveights of saints—the climbing of which was all the exercise he needed, he declared. An astonished silence followed the man, who sat on paper, than a length of hearty laughter. "What in thunder you have been about, old saw-bones?" Some one's been playing with the paper, as Charlie finished speaking. Meredith appeared at the porteries, and to his assmessed kaze was held up a pair of white eyes. Meredith held up a pair of white eyes. Conversation, disgust, overwhelmed them both, then recollection came to Meredith, swift and sure. A pair of brown eyes voice is saying: "They must be white. Sure; either sain or suede!" Of course, the stalker cluck and mixed them up. Meredith said: "He dare not trust himself to think. In the meantime, Charlie stood with the dainty decryers poised gingerly in one hand, and the saint, "You've misken the box, old man. I did not intend to pry into your secrets. I assure you. Very clumsy of me. Kindly excuse." "Oh, hang it all, dry up. What are you talking about?" almost shouted Meredith. "Don't you see what has happened? The clerk has mixed them up, all that's all." He then related the whole story to his unsympathetic mother, who divined in paroxysms of delight, to the detriment of his immaculate evening dress. "That's the best I ever heard!" he gasped, "imagine the scene in the room, with the dancers dainty canes arrived! Don't stand there pretified! Hurry up, get out your old gags and come along." He I haven't any more! Gave them all use he gave to the long ago. He use he gave for dancing shoes" defected was. New that all possibility of a dance was at an end, he longed most unreasonable. Fortunately, he arrayed himself. "You'll have to sit out most of your dances-if you get any," said his friend, "you'll have to get it. I never take any before half just ten." "No, nobody will want to dance with me in the dress," he added the other, surveying his shoes ruefully. However, they made a start finally. Charlie gaily arranging future precedences as they went. "I know I have brown eyes are there what luck! I can to know her, I know everybody, I can see it all-introduction, sort of recognition, he lacks confusion, galant friend to the rescue—all satisfactorily explained in a moment!" he clutching his arm. "Suppose she's a girl who chaffs a fellow unmercifully?" "Why, she cannot! She's in as much of a box as you are." "Oh, no, she isn't! She forget all about me and my patent-leather ones as soon as she entered the store." "Well, hope for the best, my afflicted sister." Presently they reached the brilliantly lighted hall where the first cottontion of the season was under way. Gavly the couples were marching back and forth through the grass and there-surely his eyes did not mislead him—was the "brown-eyed one," demurely leading all that lovely train of followers, who were facing, and Graham noticed the look of consternation, almost of fear, upon his face. "She's here, she face!" he asked. "Yes, there, leading," he answered faintly. "That! Beatrice Harloe! Well, you are a lucky dog! She's the bestl and sweetest Later on Meredith was introduced, and one glance of the brown eyes was enough. No one for the meeting, no snow did their eyes meet me, no membrance swept over her of the "great clumpy thing" in front of the shoe showers. Dr. Meredith had to be there. Dr. Meredith and I have met before, if rather unceremoniously. You must excuse our haste of this afternoon—we were "I was all my fault, I assure you," he said.

Gladness at the young doctor, one look at his conscious face was enough. "Oh!" she cried; "why? you- you are the man! What's the joke? and the quartet laughed long and merryly.

An Era Of Opportunity Young Men To Today Enjoy Unadministrated Chances of Attaining Success. Oakbigh Thorne. N CONSIDERING young men and their opportunities in life. It has been, and presumably always will be, a great opportunity to advantages that are denied to the present and to the future. Many young men, convinced that the THE APPEAI were been too insec, console themselves with this fancy, and subunit; while other conclude that conditions are unfavorable to advancement and weakly throw them aside. In the case of the case taken them. Indeed many parents to console their sons by the strange theory that were born at the wrong time in the wrong place, and records prove nothing, if not the absolute falsity of this popular fallacy. History science and commerce have absolutely that every progress has been but a gateway into a still greater arena of human endeavor and human progress; and that the mere hour, achieving name and success came from unexpected, if not seemingly unfavorable environments, to support this proposition with instances. It is oblivious to any and every person who has any idea of our great inventors, our public men, our businessmen, our merchants, and our merchants. They may be the great exceptions; yet, they prove the rule. All times are equally propitious; all times are equally successful; all summits of exhibition may not always be attained, and the desired positions may not always be secured; but a just measure is award will always be obtained. ELOO LUMBERMAN $ would rise the highest. It seems to me that young men can dismiss the idea that the day of opportunity is over, but, on the basis of the rational degree of success they should carefully study the laws of gravitation, study the laws of gravity, and amount of wisdom in the old saying: "He who would conquer the world must first conquer himself." We must engage a revelation in some sphere of life. We are forced to recognize the work that is done by the results attained. The combined intellect of man and machine is the key to success, been kept up to date, its machinery is antiquated; go into the laboratory and try to invent new wonders; everywhere, something new. Who are the men doing these things? Young men, new men, coming men. Records do not show the day of opportunity is over, on the contrary, they intuitively are not seized, they are acquired. A man must fit himself for his opportunity. There is no royal road. Work, study, determination must not only know how he does his work; but why, and, further, by interest even though it be but senseless mineral intimation of its unwhispered secrets. Young men should acquire habits of punctuality, on honesty of purpose, of earnestness, of their work should bind them ready for it with full bodily and mental vigor. It should never be a task to be done alone, but we must work together in two equal hours. It should be done with the feeling that they live to do it. I cannot impress, on young men who would be deeply aware of importance of being earnest. An earnest man rightly regards his work as a blessing, and who holds himself in check against the temptations of the key which opens the door to success. There is no place ever so humble or even so obscure that may not owe the threshold of a useful and brilliant future. Balded in many clubs - ladder Defective Page An Indian's ... Gratitude. By Franklin Welles Calkins. Y FRIEND, Carl Van Eps, was, in his younger days, a rider for the pony express. He rode between Big Springs and O'Keeffe Station on the Platte river. It was dangerous ground, the common hunting ground of the Sloux, Cheyennes, Panayee, Araphaoes and several others. One afternoon in the late fall his trail was obliterated by the tramping and dust of north-moving herds of heron. He passed several hunting places in Indiana in the distance, but the herds were not strong enough or were too busy with their hunting to attack, and Carl escaped the usual perilous chase to be expected whenever Indian The messenger was making his way his sense of direction through befogger and a limp and battered Indian, attempting to get to his feet in front of it. The wounded him shoulder and other injuries got in a recent mishap of the chase. For a moment the express ride bestowed the knowledge that the injured man's tribesmen would, sooned or later, return to look for him. The ability of his death on further injury under the hoofs of the tromping hands. But seeing that the injured man's feet, his decision was quickly made, and the deadly enemy was picked up and given-much to his astonishment, doubled a seat behind the car. But was a few minutes behind his scheduled time at G Fallon's, where he was cared for until he recovered. Littie was learned from the taciturn Sioux except that his Dakota name was, trans- OH, WHAT CARE I IF THE FLOODS BE HIGH; I'LL TAKE MY SACK AND FLY. Some months later, long after the hunters had been spotted, swimming forward toward O'Fannon's when an Indian rider appeared, coming out of a shuffle coute to meet him on the river. Boom there were other Bloux to engage CHARIS attention. The swarm, coming toward the river where Goyolias, fierce fighters, and the most implemitable hostages, the messenger rode swiftly into the river, reserving, nothing with shrewd eyes, as he scanned the blunts, the approach of the trailing dust, clouds. In the speed, cleverness and durance of his ride, it did not kill his life before him. Presently, as just overbring the near blunts in front of him, he let his pet horse go at top speed. He was hardly abreast, but the bluffs emptied in long ant-like flies upon the river-facts. The Indians seemed not to notice him at first; they must have thought that two hundred yards or so to the rear, an approving slap on the neck. If Bear Bonnet was no longer riding with him neck and neck. The Sloux had dropped a hundred yards or so to the rear, an approving slap on the neck. If Bear Bonnet's buckles, with the legs of a coyote, couldn't keep the pace, he thought, his own more experienced muster, the Indian stock. He made the most of the precious moment when the Ogallas seemed to be coming to grips with the dancers recalled him as a white rider, probably feeling from the courageous Dakota in his rear, and with tremendous enthusiasm in his face, that the man made them the ponies in pursuit. The washout canons of Pony creek were six miles wide, and the canons of these canon-cuts, and if he could reach them far enough in advance, there was some chance to dodge his pursuers there. He heeded his Spanish tickets' sought his pony's banks. The response was running which resembled the skimming rush of a frightened cannon. He heard the whoops of the Sloux. A procession of bause buns fittered the cannon, and the firing rider looked in to see what had become, of Bear BERMAN Bonnet. With some surprise he noted that his first and casual judgment of the Indian's clean-limbed buckskin had been the loss of his clothing in losing ground, but to what end was the Indian thus giving chase? Apparently the young Sioux had thought it necessary to change his tactics, to seem to be taking a very earnest part in the chase. The express rider could easily be taken by a very swift vehicle for Bear Bonnet to show a hostile hand in downright earnest. Very well, let him take care of himself, since he would be able to revolve his helmet and twirled the cylinder to see that its six percussion caps were in their places. Just then the string of low-lying riders was stretched for half a mile upon the messenger's left. There were more than a hundred in pursuit, and a large squad of the foremost were certainly riding ponies as feet as his own. The blunt river; the river; a mile beyond their rise lay the washout of Rory creek; and still a mile and a half beyond the creek in the valley of the Flatte. snung posity arrive—a hope slender mouth, at best. At the level of the bluff the foremost Sluox were awfully bearling in upon his arm, sharp hearing of his pony's flanks. The animal was streaming wet, and panting like a wolf run to earth. Carl only wondered that the gallant hay had not in that terrible straining up the bluff. Again the express rider looked behind him and bowed for an arrow to the string; not more than thirty paces away. Even as Carl looked, the young Sluox unsturring his bow and firing an arrow to the string, the muscle of his pistol to rear. But his quick eyes noted the arrow of his purported angel that he gave an involuntary boot of derision. The Indians upon his left noted the shot, and yelled encouragement to Again, as Carl was about to fire upon him, Bear Bonnet let fly an arrow, and it passed, the former, far upon the mescaline man divulged that those bow shafts were launched with no hostile purpose. Bear Bonnet wanted him to turn to the right, There, the express rider knew, were an old buffalo ford and a trail which came in at the mouth of the main canon, and so he buffed toward the stage station. This route was at least as near to the pony trail, but the ditch-like canon was so steep that it would buff toward the stage station. This route was less than reckless. Little difference need the danger make to him at that moment. He turned his horse up and rode the river to the Creek. And now he leaned forward and spurred the animal 1 to a last desperate burst of speed, a final heroic effort to gain the river. The crowd of Sloux, now fast gaining upon his exhulted mount, yelled their triumph, which shirldled his own ears and broke the water, and they followed him over the preceptious northnanks of the canon? Ardently he hoped to have some of their necks might break. He now lay flat upon his pony's back and neck, and the trained animal, understanding the necessity, strained every muscle. Czert did not look again behind until his seeing beast was hurled headlong into the ditch of Pony Creek. The fallen rider picked himself up, to see his gallant pony heeled, heels up and stone dead, in the bottom of a dry run. The mailings had been torn from their saddle fastenings and layed buffalo courage of any rider less than reckless. Little difference need the danger make to him at that moment.

In the same instant he saw Bear Bonnet's bucklek, with doubled haunches, plow like a hurried projectile down the hill, and whirling wattle, the young Sioux leap from his saddle, thrust a lead rope at him, and then swing his loosened bag mails up to the hill, where the mail sacks Carl recovered presence of mind, remembering suddenly his peril and the necessity for action. In an inn he was mounted and off again. As he fled down the canyon the express rider looked back to see Bear Bonnet, who was standing downward upon the bank of a ditch, where he lay as if stunned by a fall, and he lay on his back and hung in Sioux's he had paid a gratitude at a fearful risk to himself. The messenger's new mount jumped ditches and wash-out-holes in pervious and wet soil, and astonished screeches broke out above his head and to the rear, and the bullets and arrows of his pursuers knocked up spurs, and the men were fitted by them. Nor did the Ogallahas fiel in daring. They thundered over the steeps and into the canyon in a yelling But in a moment Carl had dodged behind a projecting spar and turned his head to the camera. With each touch of the spar the express rider felt a growing confidence, and in a minute or two of running he knew that he was on the road. He swift as that of any wild rider in the chase. In point of fact, the Indians did not catch much beyond the mouth of Pony creek. In five minutes or less after leaving the canyon—and much ahead of his scheduled minute—he drew趴 at O'Fallon. When the story was told to the boss of the station and his men, he said that something he made was a patch of a Slour. They held his pony at the station, hopping that Bear Bonnet would himself come for the rider. The rider was as the buckskin disappeared from the company's herd one night, and no other were taken they knew that the brave man had been, but would not come to claim a reward.

And for some reason that no man knoweth, the unannisfair the staleet and slicket, is in doctors' offices.

The maniacs are lying around his experienced ankles, and he shouts: "Are you crazy, opening windows such a days as this?- letting small poxes germ. in." He must press the windows down with a sound that indicates she has her opinions. The retired old gentleman trots away, to pause in front of other doors, if he haply his dry and seasoned ankles may discover other openings where the monster may enter. He can annotate to an invisible opponent who is arguing with him: "I like fresh air as well as anybody; but" Mankind are divided into two classes—the ventilated and the unventilated. Women constitute the ventilated sex, men the unventilated. The woman sex is no built psychologically into the air, but has apparently reached by evolutionary process that high psychic planes where the rude vibrations of common air are deadly to it. Nothing about the very interplanetary that itself will do. Such is the situation.

The people who have witnessed the performance of "In Dahomey" as given by the Williams & Walker company this season, will recall the splendid piece of acting done by Mrs. Ida Overy Walker, wife of one of the principals, when she sings, "I wants to be a real lady." Well, she got her wish, to a certain extent at least, on the thirteenth of this month, in New York, when she, probably for the first time in the history of New York's smart set, a known to be Afro-American woman was admitted to mingle with the Belmonths, the De Forests, Pagets, Dyers, Rhinelanders, Nellisons and others of equal prominence. One of the invited guests at a party given to Mrs. Arthur Paget, by Robert Hargous, at Delmoneio's, Robert Hargous led the cakewalk with her, and also had her as a partner in the waltz, and the other men present treated her with utmost courtesy. The women of the party were not less attentive in making her feel at home among them. This must have been almost as much of a shock to the color phobists and Rev. (?) Thomas Dixon as the "Roosevelt Washington incident." There is no doubt that Mrs. Walker was a real lady before she accepted the invitation of the "smart set," and it certainly must have delighted her, as it does us, to find that they were real ladies and gentlemen, too, who recognized and appreciated talent, even if not encompassed in the skin of a caucasian. We would like to call the attention of the Rev. (?) Dixon to one of his "monstrosities" on "Educated Afro-American" as appears in the following: "The thirteenth annual oratorical contest to determine who will represent the University of Michigan in the northern oratorical league took place last Friday night at Ann Arbor, Mich., Mayor Maybury, of Detroit, presided. The contestants were F. W. Balcomb Edward Sonnenschein, L. C. Hull, Eugene Marshall, W. D. Cole and E. M. Halliday. Marshall, who is an Afro American student, from Detroit, was declared the victor. He is a senior law student and was in the finals in both his freshman and junior years. He won over Sonnenschein, of Chicago who was a member of the debating team which defeated Chicago and Minnesota in 1910, and also the first man on this year's team against Wisconsin. His subject was "Hamilton and the Constitution." And, by the way, it might be interesting for Dixon to know that Hamilton, who was considered the greatest statesman this country has produced, was one of those "monstrosities." The thirteenth oratorical contest on Friday the thirteenth of the month did not prove to be very unlucky for Marshall. --- Here is another of Dixon's "monstrosities." Dr. James T. Sawyer, who is at present working in a hotel in Philadelphia, is a graduate of Leonard Medical School at Raleigh, N. C. He is thirty-one years of age. He says: "I took a four year's course at Raleigh. By April lst I expect to be able to marry and go to live in Welch, W. Va. I think that I can get along there. Ultimately I may go to Liberia. I intend to go where my labors will do the most good for the members of my race, and if I find I can make myself useful to them in Liberia I shall settle there." We would like to call the attention of Rev. (?) Thomas Dixon to the fact that Pushkin, the great poet of Russia and Dumas, the great novelist of France, were according to his ideas "monstrosities." But their fame though both were born a century ago, will be bright and green when the fact that Dixon ever lived will be forgotten. There was a rousing mass meeting of citizens at Philadelphia Thursday night to consider the rights of the Afro-American and protest against the boldness of those who would decitizenize the race. Hon. Chas. Emory Smith, ex-Postmaster General, presided. There were eminent speakers of both races. Dr. Wm. Hayes Ward, editor of the New York Independent, was the principal speaker. Ringing resolutions condemning the disfranchisement of any class of citizens Rcosevelt for character and competency without regard to color, were adopted. In "the manly art of self-defense" as it used to be termed, the Afro-American has shown himself equal of the best; and, in fact, has forced the ac knowledgement of superiority in many instances. Just now Joe Gans is the light-weight champion and has the record of winning ninety-two battles in his career of nine years; fourteen draws and only four defeats. George Dixon, the bantam, is next with eighty wins, forty-two draws and only fifteen defeats. Young Peter Jackson also holds his own very well with fifty-three wins, fourteen draws and only eight defeats. A writer in a New York paper tells a story of the difference he noted in the native politeness of an Afro-American woman and several white women on a street car the other day and winds up his letter by saying, "We have no 'Jim Crow' cars, but have we not 'Jim Crow' manners when Afro-American women enter the cars?" MAY IT BE ANSWERED? "God grant that we may be saved from the new and damnable heresy that this is a white man's country" —Prayer offered by Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y.

"The Night Side of London," by Rob McManus and Michael McManus. The illustrations by Tom Brown are drawn with skill and enhance the interest of the audience. The author and pencil of the artist are both used with fine effect in laying bare the types and contours of human life in London than even in Paris or elsewhere, whose contrasts are more interesting of human vice and virtues. So vivid is the author's description of the human experience with the nights, in Pleadig, like unto the job they have done, and the picturesure he has artistically interpreted the author's ideas and illustrations with inviting appearance along with inviting appearance along with pressure-bent pageography of the crowds or watching in silence and ply the moral lessons they The night side of London "high life" is on the surface extremely kalidoscopic, and the surface from the night side it differs from the night side of high life from what it was since the 1960s. The surface it has always been, and always will be, Mr H. G.

There is the evidence of much research in narrative style at once attractive and entertaining. It is not only tells us what birds the uncleots worshipped, but goes into the philosophy of such worship, and tells its reason, in tables and anecdotes which will be useful to the woodpecker as an instance. When we try to ourselves the European savage, we find it matter of our puffed up race, finding it a matter of his head, loving murder, a bloody tyrann to the work, rending before power of his sloth and ignorance, to disease because he understood his envy and admiration of a bird which in addition to various marital side so developed that it can chisel for itself in a few hours a heat, dry cave and heart that seems to find nourishment where no green thing grows, right under Mr. Woodpecker was thought to know the wherebounds of bidden treasures; wherebefore he is a special creation of the mysterious affection to fire, also a rain and The author then proceeds to tell us of the Roman's entry at the time of Hannibal's entry into the peninsula. Says he the important man, the Roman soothsayers can hardly be overestimated. I have a seal, which he with a bird before him, which he appears to be teaching a trick. That the Roman soothsayers so soundly certain from the fact that he wears the conical cap seen on the little Roman in the Vatican Museum. Then follows several very interesting anecdotes anent the clustering about the Hite winged god. The Cuckoo, Peacock, Owl and other early European races—by the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Abyssinians and other early Europeans—were wrought so mightily in days of antiquity. The author further tells us that "it is recorded of King Edward the First of England in the year 1304, his investiture as a knight, two swans decorated with gold nets, were brought in, and he thercepent them, in the God of Heaven or these two swans.

A RAGG THE RE Another of last season's successes is announced for next week's attraction at the Grand Opera House in "A Ragged Hero," Maurice J. Fielding's thrillingly realistic melodrama. the story, which takes place in occurrences in the daily routine life in a New England village. The central figure is an outcast whose life has been wrecked by a daughter's down-fall. While he is the typical tramp and indulges in no end of antics and witticisms, the serious side of his story is never lost sight of by the dramatist. He has the faculty of bubbling up just at the right moment and is not the factor in the development of the plot. He is not the comic paper type of "Hoe," however, but an unfortunate fellow, whose domestic troubles have driven him first to drink and then to the road. He is a genial character, notwithstanding his many faults. Numerous opportunities are presented by the story for the audience, and they have been fully taken advantage of. One of the most exciting scenes occurs at the close of the second act. The profligate half-brother of a little girl dis THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER tal.

Beasley, messenger to Gov. Van Sant, was the next on the list. The child underwent an operation for brain trouble last week but was able to walk again, and was apparently in good health. He was seized with a sinking fit and died in a few hours. The cause of death was meningitis. The funeral took place at Pilgrim Baptist church Thursday afternoon, immediately following the funeral of his father, the priest, with the friends of the families of the deceased persons. There was an extra choir and special music. Rev. W. D. Carter preached the funeral. There were numerous floral tokens of sympathy. Who fell was Mr. Samuel Smith of East Seventh street, who on Wednesday complained to his wife of being warm and requested her to open a bottle of beer, which she did. He drank the contents, cramps in the stomach followed and in a few hours he was dead. The case is that of the death.

The hour for the wedding was set at 8:30, but the couple failed to put in an appearance. The courtroom, a well-groom informed the court commissioner that they had decided to wait another day before getting married. "What caused you to change your mind?" inquired Judge Gallick. "I locked at the calendar," replied Williams, who still wore a scared look on his face. "I was on Friday, and the thirteenth day of the month at that, it settled the wedding business for me. We just decided to wait another day. I'm not very suspitious, but none of this Friday and thirteen hoodoos for me." "We intended to get married, yes," he said.

Disease and sickness arise from lack of vitality, which is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. OXYDONOR animates and thus reverses this degeneration, opens the way for the whole organism to drink freely of oxygen, through the pores of the skin and membranes, and sets in operation an energizing, vital force. Oxygen quickly overcomes disease. One OXYDONOR will serve the family. It cures while you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandisire. The following testimonial, one of many hundreds, testifies as to the efficiency of the Oxydonor: Dr. C. S. Wilson Min. Jan. 28, 1903. I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a thorough test lately, when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe and a fever, and I must confess that I had some doubts about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor worked like magic; I had to use it in ice for 35 hours, but it conquered the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure. Yours very gratefully. JOSEPH SIEP, 925 E. 6th St. Anyone wishing to investigate further in regard to the Oxydonor should call on or communicate with Dr. C. S. Wilson, 611 N. Y. Life Bldg, St. Paul, Mn. AFRO-AMERICAN OFFICERS Nine Afro-American Commissioned Officers in the Regular Army. The commissioning by President Roosevelt last week of L. H. Gilmore a young North Carolina man, to be second lieutenant in the provisional Army, and to be called that nine Afro-Americans hold commissions in the regular army. One of them was graduated at West Point. Four are chaplains, with the ranks of captain, and are attached to the four Afro-American regiments. Tenth cavalry and the twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. President Cleveland gave the first of them a commission. It was to Allen Allensworth, of Kentucky. He was commissioned in 1886. Chapman, a Boston lawyer, Tenth cavalry, and the twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. President Cleveland gave the first of them a commission. It was to Allen Allensworth, of Kentucky. He was commissioned in 1886. Chapman, a Boston lawyer, Tenth cavalry, and the twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. President Harrison in 1891. George W. Prioleau, of Ohio, was commissioned captain and chaplain by Cleveland in 1895, and William T. Anderson got a similar commission in the pursuit from President McKinley in 1897. The senior officer of the nine is Capt. Charles Young, who was admitted to West Point from Ohio in 1884, graduated in 1889 so well up that he was assigned to the institute who get commissions in this branch rank higher in their class on graduating day than those who get commissions in the artillery and infantry branches. Except from December, 1896, to October, 1897, when he was a first lieutenant in the Custer's old regiment—Capt. Young has served wholly with one or the other of the Afro-American cavalry regiments. During the Spanish war he was major in the Ninth Ohio Afro-American volunteers, which for a time was camped in the fiftieth Michigan, Col. Irish's regiment. Capt. John R. Lynch is the only Afro-American paymaster in the army. He belonged to a prominent Afro-American family of Mississippi, and was appointed by President John F. Kennedy to be an Afro-American officers are Second Lieutenants Benjamin O. Davis, of the Tenth cavalry, and John E. Green, of the Twenty-fifth infantry. Both enlisted in Afro-American regular regiments when the Spanish war broke out, and were sent to the missions to perform a petitive examination with a large number of white soldiers. Davis is a graduate of the Washington high school. What the Newspaper Does I HAVE NOTICED THAT— Noise does not prove much. It is not the loud thunder, but the silent lightning, that kills. Faith without works is dead, but some men never cease trying to galvanize the corpse. The other fellow's creed may be all right, but there is one insuperable objection to it—it is not mine. A deed of kindness is like a dainty kid glove; it makes even a big and awkward hand beautiful. The loudest partisan sometimes looks the saddest when he is asked to tell the reason for the faith that is in him. The clearest and most beautiful weather comes after a shower.

A SYMPOSIUM ON LIAR$ The following symposium on "Liar$" is worth reading, even if it fails to do the subject complete justice: The liar whom the editor hates worst of all is t.) man who, when dunned for a ais. *subscription*, says he one day or two or three copies taking the year, and refuses *pay.* Clarkville Graphic. Next to, if not above this one, the editor hates a liar who takes the paper seven or eight years, and when finally cornered for settlement, says he never ordered the paper at all--Pike County State. The liar of the whole outfit is the man who takes the paper several years, then moves away without paying or saying anything about it, and yet he is a honest man. Elsbury Advance. Brettren, you all fall short of the truth. The alligator in the lot is the editor, who publishes the obituary of these aforesaid liars and intimates that they have gone to heaven.

We are pleased to mention in these columns of the Tuskegee Summer School for teachers that will be held at the Tuskegee Normal and industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., during the coming summer. The school will be held under the auxides of the General Educational Board, will be in session six weeks, from June 29 to August 7, and will furnish an excellent opportunity to teachers in the south for studying the methods employed in the best primary, secondary and high schools in the country, of presenting subjects taught in these schools in the most interesting and effective manner. Friday, June 26th, is the day of enrollment and on this day it will necessary to have not had experience in some good high school or higher institution of learning to satisfy the committee on enrollment of their fitness to enter the school. Persons who have had experience as teachers in high schools or higher institutions of learning, may enter without being examined. Especially important is it that every teacher in the rural districts should avail themselves of the instruction given in some good summer normal each summer, but every teacher whether he be the moulder of the child mind in the country district or whether he teaches more advanced pupils in a graded school owe it to his profession to spend at least six weeks each year in an earnest effort to become the most proficient teacher possible for him to become. It is not possible for every person who teaches to take a thorough and comprehensive course in a good normal school, but it is possible for all to spend six weeks during the summer in a good summer school where the work of the normal school is abbreviated and concentrated, where professional enthusiasm is brought home to all; with men and women whose long experience, whose force of character and whose scholarship will be an inspiration and an education in themselves resides in the heart of the school of teaching into contact with teachers and students of this type, the Tuskegee Summer School will aim to teach teachers what to study and how to study it; what to teach and how to teach it; to train teachers to systematize their knowledge and how to present it in an attractive and effective manner to lead teachers to adapt instruction to the capacity of their pupils; to instruct and train teachers in the art of school management; to lead teachers to study child nature and the science of human culture; this school is given to teachers the needs of each individual teacher as near as possible. Not only will the teacher have the privilege of literary training but much stress will be laid upon the manual training and industrial work as well. All of the shops of the school will be open to the teacher-students. It has been the aim of those in the Tuskegee Summer Normal School to make the range of the course so broad and varied, and to select such teachers for the particular subjects that every teacher can find a place in the school.

Why should people ask for free newspapers, asks the Toronto Evening Telegram, any more than they look for free cigars, free umbrellas, free walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs or free beetseals? Every copy of a newspaper is a product which costs money. The tailor, the tobacconist, the gents' furnisher or the grocer is not called upon to supply free copies of the products which they handle. The people who are aggrieved if they cannot get a free copy of a newspaper would not think of struggling for a place on the free list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or a business shop. It is the principle more than the cost of the free newspaper idea which is repugnant to all sound business no- WITH every step, the sole of your shoe must bend. The proper place for it to bend is at the "ball" of the foot—never at the instep. To make it bend at the "ball" things are necessary: the sole must be extremely flexible while the shank or arch must be extremely rigid. Most shoes bend at the shank, thus losing their shapeliness and tiring the weak arch of the foot. That is what makes walking for most women so fatiguing. The "Dorothy Dodd" shoe has a shank that supports the weak arch firmly. It will not bend. The method of sewing the shank is different from the ordinary—it is sewn through and through—making a strong, firm shank than cannot be obtained any other way. It has a sole that is extremely flexible and will bend. The Plymouth Corner, Seventh and Robert. Agents for the Cross Stoves and Rams And Thatcher Furnaces.
