Mapleson used to say that he picked his chorus entirely fresh every season from the best and most spirited people of Italy—who could sing. It was his pride that they were the most lifelike operatic actors in the world. Said Mr. Mapleson: "You read in the papers about the bands of the mountains holding up British noblemen every few days for half a million ransom, when not in the army fighting for their country. Well, the best of Advertising America is the land of unique sign painting and strange devices for advertising. Millions of dollars have been spent in New York city for the expensive and elaborate signs, many of them artistic and exceedingly attractive. But the genius who preempted a tree in one of the up-town districts before surveyors and builders came along drew much attention to his signboards. The picture shows the tree, which is said to date back to the Revolution and for more than a hundred years withstood the wildest storms that swept the Atlantic coast.

Uncle Sam Hopes to Produce One That Will Combine Attributes of Style, Action and Beauty. BONNY IOWA, One of the mares at the government horse breeding station. STABLES AT THE GOVERNMENT BREEDING STATION. When President Roosevelt visited Colorado a few months ago he called, attention to the importance of the government horse breeding station recently established at Fort Collins. At this experiment station, under the Colorado state agricultural colle charge of Dean W. L. Carlyle of the Colorado state agricultural college at Fort Collins, the government hopes to develop the ideal American carriage horse. The great stallion, Carmon, formerly Thomas W. Lawson's Glorious Thundercloud, has been selected as the head of the stud. This great horse, after the mature deliberation of a committee of experts, was selected as being the nearest to the type of horse which it is proposed to develop. There are nineteen mares, a high breeding and selected with the care that marked the selection of Carmon, and it is hoped, by proper care, that it will develop a style of horse that will be typically American, and that it will have all the attributes of action, style in rest, endurance, lung capacity and power. The horse breeding experiment station has been established only about a year and a half. There are thirteen colts running about the great pasture, and these show all the markings and characteristics of the highest breed type of horseshield. It is not expected to develop the ideal American horse at once, however. If a satisfactory breed is developed in twenty years, or in the house of a generation, the scientists who are making this important experiment in horses will be more than satisfied. It is realism that work must be slow, and that years must elapse before success can crown the work. Everything depends on the start, however, and it is gratifying to learn that the leading horsemen of the country commend the beginning that has been made by the government, and have every faith in the type of horse to be developed from mares that now form the nucleus of the government stud. Not a move has been made in this important work without the most mature deliberation. A. D. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal industry at the work from the hands in touch with the work from the hands in touch with the experiment being directly under the department. Prof. Carlyle, who is in active charge of the work, is one of the recognized horse experts of the world. Before coming to Colorado.

Prof. Carlyle is now in Europe, where he will remain several months, information that can be applied to studying types of horses and gleaning information that can be applied to the work at Fort Collins. He has the assistance of Prof. Walter H.

Carmon and the great show mares that make up the government. stud. Even the selection of Fort Collins as the site of the experiment was the result of careful calculation of experts. Scientists have found that the plains of Colorado, stretching east from the Rocky mountains, formed the natural home of the horse in this country. The Intre W. C. Whitney equipped an exertion to find traces of the first horse in this country, and the bones of the celebrated three-toed, pigmy horse were unearthed near Julesburg, Colo., showing that the plains saw the earliest development of man's CARMON, GREAT STALLION AT H and his groomsman, best friend. Not only does the dry, crisp air, at the Colorado altitudes. give horses great lung capacity and power, but the absence of moistness tends to make a more solid bone for- mation. The cow ponies of the West- ern range are the hardest horses of their size in the world. Their great lung capacity and their solid bones combine to make them ideal for end- urance. These facts decided the government experts to select Colorado as the breeding ground of the American horse, and the hardy condition of the animals, at Fort Collins would indicate that the choice was a wise one. IOWA, iment horse breeding station. The government stable is part of the Colorado state agricultural college, which, under the direction of Prof. L.G. Carpenter, has become one of the most successful institutions of its kind. Like all the buildings at this remarkable institution, the stable is large and commodious. There is an exercising track in front, where Carmon and the rest of the government horses are put through their paces by Mr. Hutton.

Carmon is regarded as the nearest approach to the ideal horse. He has style and beauty in every move, and his action is superb. In every way he is regarded as a fitting horse from which to develop a flawless progeny. Carmon is in the government pasture are without pedigree, but all are great show'mares. Some of the better known among them are Martha Washington, a chestnut; Kentucky Belle, Miss Virginia, Wisconsin Queen, and Bonny Iowa. DANGER IN A COLD BATH. Physician Gives Hints of Value to the Layman. In a suggestive article on bathing, a doctor gives some hints which should never be forgotten and which are of interest to those who have long known them as well as to those who have not. Here are a few excerpts: Should one feel chilled after a cold bath and the following hard rub, that HEAD OF GOVERNMENT STUD, , James Hutton. person must realize that cold baths are bad. There is really no way I can suggest that a person can tell whether or not cold baths are good for him, except by the glow and warmth that should follow. I think if the finger nails look blue and the body is covered with gooseflesh after the bath that it is too strenuous, says the physician. As to the method of taking baths, I believe that a needle, shower or bath sponge is best, for few are strong enough to stand, a plunge, and as to slitting or lying in a tub of cold water, would say unhestiating that it is unnecessary. It takes too much animal heat and results in a loss of energy that is unnecessary, who are not strong enough to take a cold water bath as it comes from the spigot will find it immensely beneficial when a bag of salt is placed in the tub; or by taking the chill off with the addition of warm water, the bath will still be practically cold, for the temperature will be much cooler than the body. A rule, a bath should, be taken only in the morning directly after rising, unless a person is very warm and wants a cold tub on a hot day or in a few cases of extreme fatigue. When very warm I would suggest that the individual wait until the perspiration is entirely dried on the body before getting into the water, the shock to the nerves and the rapture to the blood is drawn to the surface of the blood the cold is not good. This same rule applies to salt water bathing. And many persons who jump into the surf when very warm and covered with perspiration often wonder why they were nauseated after they have been in a few minutes. One of the most refreshing baths I have ever taken is a combination of the cupful of cider vinegar and cold water. If it is not too cold I would suggest lying in it from five to ten minutes when particularly fatigued, for the reaction is remarkable. There is this to be guarded against in cold water bathing, that it is not to be done unless the person is physically fit, never when the thought of the cold on the body brings a shiver or if one feels weak. At such times a bath in tepid water will be far better and will have no bad results, as the cold one might. Pain is a small price to pay for the joy of sacrifice. President Roosevelt's Retreat at Pine Knot. Probably no ruler in the world has such a modest country home as the president of the United States. It is situated in the heart of the wilderness, in the state of Virginia, and is called Pine Knot because it is nearly hidden in a clump of trees. The house was partly built of the timber of trees in the woodland to make a clearing for a farm, and in front in support is supported by posts of these trees left in their natural state. The Roosevelt home is so far away from the nearest railroad that the president and his family are obliged to ride horseback or drive in a vehicle for several hours after leaving their car to reach it. The nearest community of any size is over twenty miles distant, and so few people live in this part of the United States that between the town and Pine Knot only about ten houses can be seen. This quiet spot was selected for a home by Mrs. Roosevelt. The house cost actually less than $500, for many American laborer and farmer lives in a small dwelling. The people in the vicinity are large houses, but it is comfortably furnished and has a large open hearth, where a fire is always burning on cold days and THE STREET CENTER THE PORCH WITH ITS PINE TREE POSTS. In the evening. The house has but four rooms and a small shed, where the meals for the president's family are cooked by the one servant. At times Mrs. Roosevelt, who is an expert in cuisine, prepares the meal with her own hands. The next door neighbor is a lithe and clear-eyed mountaineer, whose affairs have prospered until he owns a house that cost at least two thousand dollars. He is one of the most prosperous residents of the section, is Sam Hoffman, in his two-thousand-dollar mansion. But Sam takes off his hat when he meets his neighbor. "Neighbor" Roosevelt wherever he may wander around "Plain Dealing" play station. And because he chooses the kind of life and this unadorned simplicity of living for his recreational hours, he unconsciously sets his fellow citizens an example of sterling value. So-called "country life" has been made a good deal of a farce by the rich who built themselves huddled palaces and call them "cottages," who call it "vacation" to spend the summer at Newport and the winter at Palm Beach who take their pleasures in drove with prodigal ostentation of outlaw and who talk of "the simple life" as If you were riding that way, and chanced to see this refuge chosen by Theodore Roosevelt as a country place, you would think it the clearing and the home of a settler carving out his humble niche in the wilderness. And if the owner is there, you may see him laying his axe, with sturdy' arm, into the butt of a pine which must give way to make way for his clearing. Just woods, and the smell of fir, and the mountain winds, and a roof for shelter, and a joyous solitude—these are what the president sought 'and found in his neck of the woodland, which is dignified among the moun- FRONT OF HOUSE SHOWING TREE FRONT OF HOUSE SHOWING TREES CUT BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT talneers by the name of "Rosevelt's Rest." This is no specious imitation, with all "modern improvements," such as many city dwellers delude themselves into believing is "getting into the country." Here you will find no automobiles, and fashionable "week end parties." It is the sort of a place within the reach of any man on living One day a friend said: "How are you getting along with the thing?" "Oh, I'm making progress," was the modest reply of the Southwesterner, "Doing pretty well, eh?" "Yes," resumed the congressman, gravely, "I can spit now and very soon I expect to be able to raise my hat." Blifkins—It is foolish to waste time and money building the Panama canal.

Complained the little runt. "The tallest men about you then Must always stand in front?" wages. This is not the kind of territory that any one would seek out as a refuge from care and work unless his love of a nature were genuine; unless he wished the "real things," and these only. The nearest trolley line is fifteen miles across the hills, and Scottsville, the only town within driving distance, is an hour away. If the larder is empty, Willy's store can be loaded in half an hour on horseback at the town. Willy's store carries a limited stock of potted ham, codfish, crackers and ginger snaps, but does its heaviest trade in axle grease and cartridges. If the president wishes a more varied assortment, he must ride on to Scottsville. There are no markets, no stockage, no telephones to the butcher, the baker and the ice man. But everywhere is the bigness of the outdoor world, mile after mile of walking and riding without sign of human handwork except the infrequent cabin of the mountaineer. In this Pledmont region of the mountaineer, in every man's hand is to the stranger, every latch string he has, is no trace of the civilized hostility and distrust between man and man.

And because he chooses this kind of life and this unadorned simplicity of living for his recreation hours, he unconsciously sets his fellow citizens an example of sterling value. So-called "country life" has been made a good deal of a force by the rich who built themselves huddled palaces and created "fashion." he call it "nationation" to spend the summer at Newport and the winter at Palm Beach; who take their pleasures in droves, with prodigal ostentation of outlay, and who talk of "the simple life" as if they really had a notion of what the words mean. The house is located about 150 miles from Washington, and the president and Mrs. Roosevelt are fond of going there for three or four days occasionally to rest. They ride horseback, hunt and take long walks for exercise, and occasionally join their neighbors in following the hounds.—Henry Hale in the Independent. There is a member of congress from the Southwest who had a trying experience in learning to run the big motor car he purchased this winter.

I should think he'd know that he's a rank sucker. Ain't he dropped to your work?" ‘The miuer's face was crimson a8 he confronted the aneering newcomer. “Look here, Charlie Dow, my fine gambler,” sald he, In a growl, “you're making undecent’ remarks about 2 lady which has promised to be my wife. 1 see you've got your gun on, but I ain't, You'll set it on the dump, it you're a man, for I'm going to give you a thumping.” “Chop off, will you!” sald the gam- bier, “You ain't worth fighting.

A taste for Uterature demands gratification: Where the taste does not exist people are satisfied, strange as it may seem, to endure a’ state of absolute pauper- ism in the matter of reading. We all know houses where there are ‘books enough to form the simulacrum of a brary, but when there are ex- amined they are discovered to be a fearful and wonderful collection of misfits, old school books, books that hhave been received by the children as |prizes, books that have been picked up by the traveler to cheer the tedium of a railway Journey, books that have |presents, and books that have been borrowed and never returned.

Very few of us have space to spare for thls luxurious accommoda- tion of our literary treasures, The living room is the proper place for the home ilbrary; the shelves to hold the books may be of home manu- facture, put together by anybody who can manage a plane and a hammer, and they may be stained in harmony ‘with the color scheme of the room.

SATURDAY AUGUST 4. 1906. The Chicago Tribune finds matter for congratulation in the fact that the number of lynchings seems to be on the decrease. It gives the annexed summary: In half a dozen cases or more there would have been lynchings in southern states during the last week but for the governor in suppressing mobs and fouling the point of the bayonet to let the law take its course. The statistics of lynching for the first half of the year, however, are the best evidences of its gradual decadence. During this period there have been but thirty lynchings, all of them in the south, and all of Negroes but four. That is the smaller number, in any six months for twenty years past. It looks as if the south were calling a halt on lynching. It is true that several of the southern governors deserve some credit for checking the prevalence of lynching by the mode of prevention, but the country is in a condition to give grounds to conclude that there is much of calling a halt in the matter. The only satisfactory proof of a real intention to call a halt is the punishment of the murderers as murderers, not turning them loose with a trifling punishment. As yet this has not been done either in the south or north, but to this must it come at last. --- [Picture of a man with a white beard and a dark suit, facing left. The background is a plain black surface.] SENATOR SHELBY M. CULOM. A Man Who Has Known Senator Culom for Years, Who Has Studied Him and Knows Him, Says: "Senator Culom's power lies in his even temper. He never recognizes an enemy. He does not appear to think he has one. He never loses his temper and never scores an opponent. No one knows where he is to strike. He keeps his own counsel. He does not like the limelight and never airs his opinions in the public press. He is absolutely sure before he goes ahead. He will not take the testimony of six men when he can get sixty. He talks very little. He does not mind it and affable with newspaper men, but he does not; tell them his secrets. "Senator Culom is a politician and he plays the game of politics with a master hand. He outgenerates his enemies. He recognizes no faction in the republican party and never antagonizes any of the different elements that go to make up the party. He is a good general, an upright man, a husband and father and is altogether a man whom the whole state of Illinois should feel proud to have in the senate as a representative of all the people." PETER H. HARRIS Virile Junior Senator of Illinois Gives His Views on Disfranchisement of the 'Afro-Americans in the South. Speaking of disfranchisement Senator Hopkins said in an interview: "Under the operation of State constitutions in this country today, a comparatively few persons at the South are intrusted with power equal to that enjoyed by a great number of persons at the North. "Take the State of South Carolina for example, where there are 500,000 white persons and 700,000 Afro-Americans are not allowed to vote, and the result is that the 500,000 whites there exercise in the Federal Government, as much power as do 1,200,000 persons in Illinois. "Now, it is a mere commonplace to state that such a condition is a travesty on representative government. If that order of things continues the time will not be long before the liberties of the people, white as well as black, will be disregarded. Such a government may be administered intelligently but it can never, in any sense, be said to be free. The spirit of unjust disjunction through the warp and woof of it, weaving a political fabric that is oligarchic in scope, and subversive of republican principles and republican institutions. PRINCIPLES THE PARTY STRENGTH. The mistake is frequently made of supposing that it is of no use to organize and maintain a party which has no hope of electing its candidates, has no power to run them ridiculed as side shows, which them ridiculed at nothing all. But such parties have been the means of effecting some of the greatest reforms ever inaugurated in this country. The old abolition party was never very strong numerically, and the political forces of the country and overthrew slavery. The conclusion is that the strength of a political party can not be estimated by the number of its adherents. Among the elements of its strength are the principles it represents, and the political forces it faces. This is shown by the fact that measures which have monopolized the attention of the present Congress are those proposed by the Populists. Bat Masterson, in the New York Telegraph goes for "fake" southerners in a very amusing style: The fake southerner after engaging you in conversation for not above two minutes will give you to understand that he is a southern gentleman-sah, and if he meets with no interruption will not be long in informing you that it other丝品 of gentility are rank counterfeited. He will proceed to tell of the great number of slaves owned by his family before Lincoln got to working on the job, and if everything runs smoothly with him he will, with as fine a show of self-importance as you ever saw, ask you to cash his personal check. Bat says that it is these "fake" southerners who go into hysteries whenever Dixie is played. Fagan, an Afro-American deserter from the 24th inch, is said to be concerned with the following is an account of his doings, according to the dismatches. Having organized a gang of fifty Negroes, Fagan, as their leader, is conducting a series of depredations on natives, stealing more than 100 head of cattle during the past month in the province of Pangasinan. Officers have learned that the original thieves are Filipinos, but they are supported in their efforts by the renegade Negroes, who dispose of the animals. THE APPEAL takes the liberty of following the lead given in the foregoing by the word "suppose" and supposes the whole thing a lie. Our European brether, especially the British are much concerned at the indications that the "fanatical Mahomadans are about to inaugurate a "Holy War." And England do so to resist the holy War. She remembers the *four* forces Hicks Pasih, Sir Samuel White, Lord Wolsely and "Chinese" Gordon were exterminated in the past times and anticipates that a struggle with these "fanatics" would be even more desperate than those of the past. Hatishim "spores of unkind" is getting to be an operation which cost more than it comes to, and seems to indicate that the plundering of feeble nations by "the great powers" is coming to an end, as it certainly ought to. The Washington Post mentions the following instance of the depravity which lurks under a dark cuticle: "And now Japan is resolved to hold what she conquered. She has made a tariff wall around Manchuria that excludes all merchandise but Japan, merchandise, and England, Germany, and England. The United States are squawling about it; but it is little the Japs care for that as long as their goods supply the markets of Manchuria and all rivals are kept out." Caucasian Americans boast that this country's country, and of course not can blame the Japs for thinking that theirs is a brown man's country. It is well. --- The Chicago Record-Herald says: "Whenever feet that say a 'burl' Negro has been seen, you sure to find a little further on that the police 'hustled' him somewhere." Hs R-H is laying unhallowed hands upon the American Ark of the Covenant when it sneers at the usefulness of any one of reasonable common sense that, while it is a matter of no moment for a white man to be burly, for an Afro-American to be the sense is an evidence that he is "fit for the task" and in the South, the proper subject for a lynching bee. No unseemly levity should be associated with the word "burly." Japan is rapidly adopting American customs, as shown by the fact that the Manchurian railway will allow a rebate on a "few" Japanese goods. Of course that move will crowd American products out of the market and deprive the American admiration of the Japanese about fifty per cent. W. H. The Immortal Martyred President. T he Resemblance of Senator Culium to the Great Emancipator is almost Startling. SENATOR CULLOM, WHO STRIK-INGLY REEMBELS THE Martyred President Relates Reminiscences of His Acquaintance with the Grandest Figure in the World's History—the Immortal Lincoln. Shelby M. Cullom stood in the doorway of one of the rooms in the Great Northern hotel which is a part of his headquarters. Tall, angular, erect he stood there, and his likeness to Abraham Lincoln was almost startling. Genocide Cullom has been paragraphed as the "mind who looks like Lincoln" for many years, and there is little wonder. He has the same-large features, the prominent nose, the firm mouth and keen eyes, and even his hair and beard are trimmed not so much in imitation of the martyred president as in the fashion set at that time. Sitting in the bright afternoon light, Shelby M. Culom presented a striking and dignified figure. His hair and beard are white, but his face is ruddy and has the warm hue of health. He seems to bear his years lightly. His face is spare; but not wrinkled. His hands are long and slim and he uses them sparingly in gesticulation. He is eminently a man of the Lincoln. He is ruddy, conservative and of the old school. Written is written in every feature and poem, in every line. His eyes are keen and they read a man's very soul. Senator Cullom is an earnest man and yet he has a sense of humor. He is a serious statesman and yet he loves a good anecdote and a pointed story. And he can tell a story, too, in a manner to make it interesting. He uses and simple language, with homely lilies and quiet similes. He impresses by being sober and natural—a man who has been himself at all times from the time he followed the plow in Tazewell county to this day, when he is one of the most conspicuous men in the upper body of the national legislature. My acquaintance with Lincoln began when I was a lad starting out in life," he said, with a far-away look in his eyes. "It has been said that I look like Lincoln and I count one of the pleasantest compliments of my life that one ABRAHAM The Immortal Martyred President. T the Great Emancipat paid me by a quaint, elderly quakeress who came to my office once upon a time. "As we talked over the matter of which she had come to see me about she interrupted me with: Friend, I was in the office. It was after the interview had closed and she was about to depart that she took my hand and, gazing at me intently, remarked earnestly: "Friend, the very much resembles Mr. Lincoln. Lincoln, he was my ideal when I was only a dozen years of age. He was 30 then. I remember the first time I was ever in a court room. Lincoln was there, defending a man charged with murder. He was considered a great lawyer even then. He was a master of the law. That was my impression that was irresistible and his hold on the public was overpowering." The funeral honors paid to Lincoln have seldom been surpassed in grandeur and perhaps never in popular sorrow. There was some talk of having the body buried in the east, but the people of Illinois would not listen to this and Shelby M. Cullom was a member of the committee sent on to plead the case. The people of Niagara nois, and besides him there is but one other man living who went on that eventful journey. It will be recalled by those who are familiar with the history of those days that the body of the dead president was embalmed and laid in state in the rotunda of the capitol April 20. The following day the funeral train began its wonderful journey to Springfield, and over the same route he had travelled going to Washington. The remains were then going to Albany, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago and Springfield and solemn services were held in each place. Senator Cullom participated in all these great scenes of sorrow and says that the grief expressed everywhere was something so poignant and so pitiful that he can never forget it so long. Crowds gathered at every crossing and a crowd of uncovered heads as the train passed by. Every city was the scene of vast, solemn gatherings as the funeral train pulled through. The sorrow of the people had never been surpassed in the world and perhaps never will be. It was only by taking the body of the beloved president on this last journey that the people could give vent to their grief and sorrow and the patriotism of the people was stirred as it never had been before. Going home again, the sorrowing men and women determined to stand by the nation at all hazards. His reminiscences of Lincoln. Senator John Kincoln in all the walks of his life. I knew him as a young lawyer making his name here in Illinois. I knew him as a private citizen and as a lawyer. I knew him as a candidate and as a leader him in his home and in the bosom of his family. And now, after all these years and after having met many men and having studied the lives of the greatest men the world has produced, I am inclined to think his the noblest and the greatest figure of all time, the grandest measure of a man on the globe." CURRENT CULLOM COMMENTS Senator Cullom will continue to do business at the old stand. Senator Cullom was speaker of the first Republican legislature in Illinois in 1861. Senator Cullom has been a 'Republican almost from the very beginning of the party. Senator Cullom resembles Abraham Lincoln in rugged honesty as well as in personal appearance. In 1862, Shelby M. Cullom was appointed by President Lincoln, commissioner of army accounts. Senator Cullom personally secured the appointment of a number of colored officers in the Spanish-American war. In the early 70s J. J. Byrd, a colored man, was appointed trustee of the state university by then Governor Cullom. Senator Cullom was the friend of the Afro-American in the dark days before the war and he is the friend of the race now. Senator Cullom supported the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution and the reconstruction lefglature. LINCOLN. the Resemblance of Senator Culliom to or is almost Startling. Senator Cullom is a man of common sense, good judgment and absolute integrity; his character was formed before graft became popular. Senator Cullom is a man of the people and the people will see that he is reelected Senator so that they may continue to have a voice in the affairs of the nation. Senator Cullom came up from the common people just as Abraham Lincoln did. He was a poor farmer's son and made his way up in the world by his own exertions. There is nothing experimental about the statesman we ask the people to reevaluate. Cullom has been tried for many years, and he always stood by the people of Illinois. The early life of Senator Cullom was spent on his father's farm and there he acquired the strong body which has enabled him to give, so much labor to the public service. Senator Cullom knew Abraham Lincoln before he became a national character and it was his privilege to sit at the feet of the Great Emancipator and drink inspiration from that noble soul. One reason that Shelby M. Cullom has so many friends is that he is honest in his dealings with his fellowman. In his long political career he has never made a promise he has not fulfilled. The fact that Senator Cullom is now a poor man is the best proof in the world that he is an honest man. He has had many opportunities for grafting, but he has remained poor and honest. One reason that Shelby M. Cullom has so many friends is that he is honest in his dealings with his fellowman. In his long political career, he has never made a promise he has not fulfilled. In the days before the war Shelby M. Cullom was one of the foremost practitioners at the Springfield bar and many of the great lawyers of that day were pitted against him but he made a great record.

The passport of Matt Jensen to popu lar favor lies in the splendid record he has made in every public station to which he has been called. [Portrait of a man in a suit with a bow tie, set against a decorative border with geometric patterns.] He is now seeking the important office of Clerk of Courts, for which he is singularly well qualified, and the people recognizing the past services has rendered a public servant will be asked as to the future conduct of this office. While a young man he was appointed a deputy in the office of the State Treasurer and was serving in that capacity when he was elected by the Common Council of this City to the office. The council at this time was Democratic but party lines were waived in the desire to secure the best man for the office. Mr. Jensen served as City Clerk under both Democratic and republican rule and so faithfully discharged his trust as to earn the appraisal, respect and good will of the members of the council and the natrons of the office. At the inception of the good roads movement Mr. Jensen, recognizing the importance to the City and County of permanent thoroughfares joined hands with the promoters and worked occasionally in this behalf. Largely as a result of this direction and his fine office work he was elected County Commissioner, receiving one of the largest votes of any man on the republican ticket. During the two years of his service on the County Board he has always championed good roads, good laws and good schools. His individual efforts have been responsible for the laying of some ten miles of permanent roadway, an improvement which must rebound to the benefit of both City and County. He has also expended the expense of the public moneys and kept an eye single to the side of right. ST. PAUL One of the prettiest weddings imaginable was that of Mr. Robert L.

The Second Annual session of the Afro-American Women's Federation of Minnesota was called together Wednesday morning July 25th at 10:30 a.m. by mrs. Ione E. Gibbs of Minneapolis, State President. After the devotional services conducted by the Chapman Mrs. Emma Jeffery, also of Minneapolis, informal greetings were extended by several Duluth ladies, the responses being given by the visiting ladies of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The roll was then called which showed fifty-four delegates present, all seeming full of interest and enthusiasm. The minutes were then read of the Annual and Anniversary meetings, and the Appointments of Committees by the President, after which the meeting adjourned for dinner. Music, followed by reading of the minutes. Paper "Afro-American ladies of the G. A. R." by Mrs. Irene Wynne, St. Paul, which was very instructive and informed us of many things we did not know concerning that organization. The Report of Clubs was next taken up which showed a marked advancement from every point of view since the last Convention, and, of course, was encouraging to those who tested. The Report of Offices was then taken up and each one felt that she had done her duty to the best of her ability. Instrumental Solo, Mrs. Eva Solomon St. Paul. The paper entitled "the Club and its influence in the Home" was very ably read by Mrs. Jesse Williams of Duluth which held the audience spell bound during its entire reading.

Saturday morning the Delegates were given a delightful Tally-Ho drive over the Boulevard, Compliments of Mrs. Dawson. Saturday afternoon Mrs. Lydia B. Gross of Superior entertained at a Banquet at Hotel Superior in honor of the visiting delegates. Carriage and Tally-Ho drives were an every day occasion until the last visitor left Dublin, thus proving the Zenith of the city. The credit is due Mrs. Mayma Merry, Pres. of the City Federation and their members for the success of this convention, who with the assistance of others made an everlasting impression on the people of the Twin Cities, no pains were spared to make every one welcomed. Every one came away happy feeling that, had they been absent from this convention they would have missed a very rare treat, and those who did not attend have much to regret. The next Convention will be held in St. Paul July 1907. One of the main features of the convention that attracted considerable attention was the exhibit of Arts and Crafts which was displayed at the rear of the church, where very excellent work in embroidery, and lace work, raffla weaving and cooking was shown.

Race Designation. There would be no confusion about the proper race designation of the people of African origin in the United States if the rule governing in the case of others similarly situated had been applied to them. No such confusion exists in the case of any other of the racial elements that constitute our citizenship. Despite the arbitrary classification of all Europeans as racially homogeneous, there is as much dissimilarity in their race traits and tendencies as there is in those of the people of Africa, who are divided for the most part, into tribes instead of nationalities, as in the case of the European peoples. Europeans who have become Americanized are known and proud to be known, however remote the relation in time, as in origin British, French, German and the like. Ask a Continental where he came from, and he will answer, unhesitating Europe; ask him further from what country in Europe, and he will name the country of his birth. Ask an African newly arrived in the United States where he came from and he will unhesitating answer Africa, and he will name its of its geographical subdivisions; if you are still unsatisfied and want to know what race he belongs to, he will tell you to one of the tribal subdivisions, as he has and knows no political subdivisions—a Vey, a Zulu, a Dahomey race. In short he will tell you that he is an African from this or that tribe. It is the same way with the European, the Asiatic and the American as with the African. They all have a geographical and a political relation to the country of their origin, and outside of their country they are referred to by their geographical rather than their political relation. This rule is universally applied to the inhabitants of all the continents except that of Africa. My contention is that it should also apply to them, when they are racially classified, because there is no reason I have advanced why they should not be. It is by this process of reasoning that I have come to adopt the term "Afro-American" as the only proper race designation of the people of African origin in the United States. The term has found an abiding place in all of the dictionaries and much of the later literature of the United States. Time, habit and blood mixture have produced a new race in this country, approximating much nearer the American than the African type. We do not need any additional infusion of white blood, although we are getting plenty of it; we need only to intermary the mixed and pure bloods of the race, as we are doing, ultimately to mix the blood of all the people of African origin on the continent. To-day we have Afro-American black and colored people; the time is coming when they have only Afro-American colored and white people; and these ultimately will disappear into the American people, whose race is in process of formation. This is in inevitable, as we have no reinforcement of pure blood from Africa, and are ceaselessly mixing blood with all the white races here with whom we live and a part of whom we are. It is of the highest importance that we get ourselves straightened out on this question of "Who Are We?" Until we get this race designation properly fixed in the language and literature of the country we shall be kicked and cuffed and sneered at as a common noun, sufficiently and contemptuously characterized by the vulger term "Negro." The term "Negro" adopted from the Latin, has been used from primitive times, to describe the black people of Africa as they are or have been; and, so used, it has been treated, and quite properly, as a common noun. It is impossible to get the writers in America, Europe or Asia to treat it as a proper noun. They never will do it, because it is not a term definitive of race affinities and unities, but of physical peculiarities of race, of which color is the visible and invariable index. The term "Negro" has not even a respectable tribe in Africa to dignify it. The tribe so designated is reputed to be one of the most discredited of all the African tribes. An American recently returned from Abyssinia told me that if a person should call an Abyssinian a Negro he would fell him in his tracks. He would take it as a term of reproach—as an insult—T. Thomas Fortune in New York Tribune. Customers Do Not Kick. A mule by any other name would kick just as hard as "Maud" does. The same fabric with any other name would wear just as long as Saxony-Cheviot. But you know and we know that when you buy Saxony-Cheviot that it will wear until the proverbial cows come home—that it will never sinne—that it will retain its "press" longer than ordinary fabric—that it is just about the most dressy fabric that could be put into a $30 suit. That's the price we ask for a made-for-you suit of it. Lidteen & Co., Tallors, 104 E. 7th St. THE NAGEL UNDERTAKING CO. Wm. E. Nagel Manager. 208 West Third street. Telephone. Main 1504.
