The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT RECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. THE SOCIETY BEAUTY AND THE SCALES THIS IS THE WAY. KING EDWARD KEEPS UP HIS STRENGTH And keeps down his weight "Please don't ask me to tell tales out of school," said the physical instructress. "It isn't fair. Yet, since you insist, I will admit it. I am a home missionary. My work is that of making people and the home happier. "I am busy and I think every one else in my particular line is busy reducing the women of the fashionable set, and no wonder. "I went one day to a fashionable restaurant to meet a patron. She was at funcheon, and while I sat and waited I counted no less than a dozen other society beauties present. All were beating me. "When my patroness came out of the dining room she had a look as if she would burst. She was purple in the face. 'When can you reduce me, she gasped, looking at me with a desperate air. 'See, I am a sight. I can scarcely button my jacket. I have gained three pounds this week.' "But, madame, I ventured to say, 'you must diet.' "Diet, she said. 'Not at all. And I don't intend to diet. You must reduce me without dieting. I simply could not bear to go upon certain food — and nothing else.' "I promised, and then I had a little talk with her that simply sent me away discouraged. "Then I evolved a clever scheme. I started in upon the course of home activities, which has since become popular. 'It is the famous Kneipel course, named after a relative of the first great Kneipel. And it consists of exercising and having a good time at the same moment. "Around my gymnasium, for I have a home gymnasium, there are three long boats. And in these I seat my crews. They are society women, and I make them pull a long car. "At first they did not take to it very kindly, but after a while they thought it rare fun. I assemble such as will come, and I let them run for half an hour every morning. This will not reduce the weight of a luxury loving woman, but it will keep her from getting any stouter. "In the Kneipp gymnasium, which I visited this fall, there are six rowing machines, and there is the Alexandraf horse. This horse is quite a famous animal. It was named for Queen Alexandra, who invented it, and in size and shape and coloring it is exactly the same as a real horse. It is even covered with horsehair. And I will not be sure but that it is a stuffed horse in a mechanism inside of it to make it go. "This horse, which is life size and all harnessed like any park animal, is placed in front of a large window, into which the air pumps. And when the music begins the animal frots. Unlike a merry-go-round, the horse is stationary, but it rises and falls with much the same motion as a live horse out for a canter. "There is method in all this sort of exercise. It is not haphazard. Women who are too heavy in the neck and too fat across the shoulders can try the rowing machine. While those who are too thick in the hips and too fat in the abdomen can take the mechanical horse. Each kind of machine exercises a different set of muscles." THIS IS THE WAY KING EDWARD And keeps down . To Make Waterproof Glue. Waterproof glue is manufactured of gum shellac three parts and India rubber one part by weight, these constituents being dissolved in separate vessels in ether, free from alcohol, subject to a gentle back. When there roughly dissolved the two solutions are mixed and kept for some time in a vessel tightly sealed. This glue resists the action of water, both hot and cold, as well as most acids and alkalis. If the glue is thinned by the admixture of ether IN THE MORNING SHE TAKES GYMNASTIC EXERCISES. Using a fan as an exerciser. "For ladies whose arms are not the right size and shape, I have a special exerciser. It is one that I have invented myself and which has been taken to London, where it is being used by the ladies of the queen's set. It is to reduce fat arms. "The test of a fat pair of arms is found in the ready-made gloves which are just the right size for a normal arm. But few matrons can wear them, and there is consternation in the ranks. My arms are the arms of a ladying matron who moans bitterly to her physical needs. "The arm reducer consists of a long rope of elastic, one of those rubber ropes which can be bought for exercising. "A loop is made through which the head slips, and all that is required in addition is a big iron hook over which the rope can be thrown. There can be handles for convenience. The whole thing is very much like the ordinary exerciser, except that it is better for the arms. It is more elastic and one can exercise the back and the neck and the chest at the same time. But of course, the physical culturist must be careful not to get strangled. There is a very ladylike method of receiving which is confined to the deputative matron who has not already become great. All but the 15-minute exercise, and it was invented for the beautiful czarina, who, in spite of rumors to the contrary, is very fond of her appearance. It consists of doing some light gymnastics each morning.

"No, sir, you misjudge me; I am anxious to marry your daughter; if it were possible to do that without becoming your son-in-law I would gladly have it that way." to slip on a short skirt and a pair of shoes without heels. This gives one a chance to exercise the feet. Then there are some arm exercises which keep down the weight of the shoulders. These are followed by fifteen minutes of exercise. Then, there come 15 minutes of exercise with the feet and legs. This takes half an hour, after which the one who has been exercising is welcome to go FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES She does stunts with her arms.

The favorite is the cross-country exercise. But it is hard to make women think they can spare the time. It really takes a week away from the city to get any benefit. And, use our patient, on her return, celebrates the occasion with a bau-guet, which puts the fat back on her faster than she took it off. "The Lillian Russell hand ball game is a great thing. But Lillian is also careful of her diet. She takes little or nothing to eat beyond her absolute needs. Society women, looking at her, say, 'How lovely.' But they little know the self denial which leads to all this loveliness. "She is a woman who thinks of her books first, last and all the time while eating." From the Back Fence.

"I'm the father of eight children." LATEST PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BEAUTIFUL MERODE. La Belle Otero wills to wed. All Paris is betting that Cleo de Merode will follow suit. The rivalry between these two beauties of the Parisian stage is so great that one never permits the other to enjoy an achievement without immediate autobiography or collapse it. It has long been a favorite joke of the French capital that if Merode got a hat worth 600 francs, Otero would immediately spend twice that sum for a hat of similar design, only manifestly finer in quality and more luxurious. If Otero got a dress, Merode drew from her enormous profits in the Congo ventures of King Leopold of Belgium, enough money to enable her to cast the creation of Otero's modiste into the shade. Some years ago an admirer of Otero presented her with an automobile Merode started Paris. Shortly after, Merode started Paris's appearance with two automobiles. The first of these was an exact counterpart of the one Otero had recently acquired. It was the identical make, colored the same and furnished in every detail so as to be a perfect reproduction. In this shade Merode's maid and dog. A few yards back, in an infinitely finer machine, in fact in which has been said to be the costliest one Paris had at that time turned out, rode Merode. Otero was so angered by this included that she sold her automobile for only half what it cost the proceeds brought a dog of the same breed as Merode's, only a finer specter. These instances are fine illustrations of how the two beauties have vied out toude each other. It is not difficult to understand how in the first place the contention began. Both made the same bid for popular favor, being dancers and famous beauties. Otero was the first to flash into brilliance, and she was the adored of the Paris jeunesse doree before Merode had quit the obscurity of a minor ballet place in the Grand opera house. But though Merode arrived a little bit late, her activities have atoned for lost time— Her curious style of hairdressing—the arrangement of her lovely locks by braids, so that they encircled her, but kept the ears completely plued curiosity. Some of her critics whisted that she had been born without ears, and produced photographs to show them even at the age of ten, long before she had dreamed of going on the stage, she dressed her hair in the same beaoux. La Belle Otero, then in the zenith of her glory, is giving credit for spreading the report that the closely bound tresses of the younger woman coaused a horrible deformity, whiten, if revealed, would immediately dispel any claim that the new dancer had to be beauty. This bit of criticism, whether true or false, naturally did not have the effect of endearing Otero to, Merode. LATEST PHOTOGRAPH OF Case of Apprehension. In the course of a recent family conversation in the presence of the children the subject of ground rents had arisen. One of the little girls immediately began to ask questions and her father in simple words as might be made a few explanations. "And," said he, "in 999 years from now this house and garden will all belong to Mr. —" "Oh, father," dred the child, anxiously, "and shall we have to move?" Defective Page and from that time an unceasing rivalry has existed. A great artist pictured Otero as the spirit of "Terpsichore." It was a masterful piece of art, and immediate role drove a tingling to have her beauty displayed. Two famous artists obliged. Alfred Grevin put her in his group, arranged for the wax works, "Behind the Scenes at the Opera," in company with such celebrities as Gound, Rose Caron, Felix Faure and other great ones. The sensation this picture made was THE FASHION WEEK 9 LA BELLE OTERO DANCING, nothing to what followed when a few years later the eminent sculptor, Falguerre, almost raised a riot with his life-sized nude of Otero, in pink marble, which was exhibited at a Paris salon. This was a notable triumph for Otero, which she enjoyed to the full, and the point of it was in no sense spoiled by the saying of Otero's that she, too, might be similarly presented, but that her decency was too great for her to consent. While Otero, though famous, was ed at first, heago a point what better of the than Otero, and therefore her baiter better, of her connect Belvium has a side of Otero. But now the gone a sudden Otero has m ed play that in the shade THE BEAUTIFUL MERODE. Point Lattice Model Raised the Mark. A traveler passing through a small country town noticed a post on which was marked the height to which the river had risen during a recent flood "Do you mean to say," he asked a native, "that the river rose as high as that in 19—" "Oh, no," replied the native; "but the village children used to rub off the official mark, so the mayor ordered it to be put higher up, so as to be out of their reach." still struggling along on a comparatively small income, Otero revealed in wealth, and her wonderful toilet were the despair of the younger woman. Merode had admirers, but none who could maintain her on the luxurious scale in which Otero lived. None—until the king of Belgium came along. The venerable monarch was quickly attracted by the slender dancer of the grand opera, and by a still greater marvel continued to show an abiding interest in her, even after his visit to Paris had ended. The king, recognizing her genuine business ability, gave her liberal interests in his famous rubro ventures in the Congo Free State, and Cleo managed these with such consumate financial skill that they doubled) in value, until now it is said she is somewhere near being a millionaire in her own right. It must be admitted that Cleo, worst- 9 ed at first, had reached a few weeks ago a point where she had clearly the better of the battle. She is younger than Otero, and her fortune is greater, therefore her chances of future popularity better. Moreover, the prestige of her connection with the king of Belvium has ever been a thorn in the side of Otero. But now the situation has undergone a sudden change. Otero has made a new and unexpected play that temporarily puts Merode in the shade. The older woman is going to have a husband. Moreover, he is an enormously wealthy husband, one Reno Webb, an Englishman. And now Otero is scornfully asking what man ever wanted to marry Merode, especially a man who was sitting every particular, a gentleman and an英寸 and taste and taste. Otero will not withdraw from the footlights. This might give Merode a chance to say that the charms of the older woman have waned, so that the public no longer wants to see her. Merode faces the most critical stage of the long rivalry. Otero is giving out all details of the magnificence of the new life into which she will pass, and insinuating that in the future she will only appear in public when she pleases, and that the receipts of her performances will be given to charity. "An act of generosity, which other dancers are too poor or too selfish to perform," as she puts it, thinking meantime only of Merode. Half a dozen suitors, who have long vainly wooded the beautiful Cleo, are hoping that to get even she will like wise take a life partner. Paris thinks she will. **Made Better Time.** The bookkeeper entered briskly flushed with the autumn air. "How is this, George?" said the cashier. "You are earlier than usual to-day." "Yes, I know," replied the other. "There was the usual blockade on the B. R. T., so I had to walk." **In Danger.** "I have often stood in a slaughter house," observed the fleshy man from Chicago, "while the butchers were killing hogs on all sides of me." "Oh," exclaimed the tender hearted but tactice New Haven girl, "weren't you dreadfully afraid." "Speak of me," quoth the novelist, magnanimously, "as frankly as if I had been dead 100 years." If you had been dead 100 years I should be speaking of you at all, replied the chief prompt advantage of the dispensation.

In All Ages Practically the Same Complaint Has Been Made, But Victory Has Always Been with the Fair Sex. Not a few things are past the comprehension of mere man, and one of these is the mysteries of feminine apparel—the fashionable raiment and the ramifications with which she persists in "adoring" herself. Grandness and extravagance of style are always backed up by a conscious superiority on the part of the feminine mind that puts the male objector promptly out of business. The ardent wooer of Queen Elizabeth's day no doubt raited bitterly against the huge ruff that stood out about his lady's neck like a repelling picket fence. He could see no more use in it than his descendant of to-day sees in the enormous picture hat—nor could he get the bed or over it. But the ruff remained, and men of the period had to do as well with it as they could, which was not very well. Frequently they got a taste of rufes in their mouths instead of the necar of ruby lips. Really shocking to man's sensibilities, however, was the extraordinary horned headpiece that women of the fourteenth century perched upon themselves. This consisted of a partly conshaped bonnet starting from brow and The Preposterous Homed Headwear of the 14th Century Shocked him sars and running thence about west northwest, half west. From the under side a pair of horns sprang up in a gentle but extended curve, making a general course of northeast by north. Now this "picture hat" of the period was, no doubt, a thing of joy to the woman of that day, but it caused a notable enlargement of the prevalent vocabulary of profanity. Then there was the extraordinary French style of collure that produced a towering bulk of hair upon the head, like piling a laxuriant, fuzzy Pelion upon a fair, intellectual Ossa of marble brow. Away back in ages past a little book made its appearance—"Quippes for Upstart Newfangled Gentlewomen." Now, the title of the work was unkind, in the first place, and the animosity displayed therein was certainly not calculated to win members of The Could Do Nothing With the Lam Laude of Queen Elizabeth time the fair sex from their allegiance to the Dame Fashion of the period, no matter how much her decrees jarred up the masculine mind. When it is said that this learned treatment of an important subject was doubtless without effect, it is meant that history does not record the ensuing sweep of any dress reform about that period. A Grewsew Find. A a grewsew story is related by a correspondent of the Boulogue Chronicle. He states that in a fashionable part of London a large house, over 200 years old, was recently taken on lease by a friend. The whole of the interior had to be remodeled. In doing something to the cellars under the house the workmen came upon a walled-up chapel, in which were found several skeletons claimed up to the walls by the hands, feet and neck. It was a most ghastly sight. "Who were they? What was their terrible story?" asks the correspondent. Spider Web Nets. The natives of New Guinea employ extraordinary fishing nets of spider's web to capture fish weighing up to a pound. They fix bamboos bent in the mangle, and handle in the jungle glades, and the spider weave their net, all over the forest. The method of fishing is to watch for a passing fish and then to dip it out and throw it on dry land. HAVE YOUR READ THE APPEAL PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1907. AN EDITORIAL WORTH READING. We quote the following editorial as the grandest, and most Christianlike utterance in reference to the Afro-American that has attracted our attention for a long time. We hope that none of our readers will fail to read it carefully: THE TRAGEDY OF COLOR. (From Harper's Weekly.) Whatever American has to show in heroe living today, I doubt if she can show anything finer than the quality of the resolve, the steadfast effort hundreds of black and colored men are making to live blamelessly, honorably and patiently, getting for themselves what scraps of refinement, learning and beauty they may, keeping their hold on a civilization they are grudged and denied. They do it not for themselves only, but for all their race. Each educated colored man is an ambassador to civilization. They know they have a handicap, that they are not exceptionally brilliant or clever people. Yet every such man stands, one likes to think, aware of his representative and visible character, fighting agaric. M. B. HON. HARRY S. NEW Acting Chairman of the Republican National Committee. foul imaginations, misrepresentations, injustice, insult and the naive unspeakable meanness of base antagonists. Every one of them who keeps decent and honorable does a thing for decency and honor—the little to beat that opposition down. Atlanta mobsters were not of heroes protecting the honor of women, but a gang of thieves and rape-friends who cared for decency and honor—the led to steal. The revert lea But the patience the negro needs! He may not even look contempt. He must admit superiority in those whose daily conduct, to him is the clearest evidence of moral inferiority. We sympathetic whites, indeed, may claim honor for him; if he is wise he will be silent under our advocacy. He must go to and fro self-controlled, bereft of all the qualities that the great flag of America proclaims—that flag for whose united empire his people fought and died, giving place and precedence to the strangers who pour in to share its benefice, strangers ignorant even of its tongue. That he must do—and wait. The Welsh, the Irish, the Poles, the white South, the indefatigable Jews, may cherish grievances and rail aloud. He must keep still. They may be hysterical, revengeful, threatening and perverse; their wrongs excuse them. For him there is no excuse. And of all the races upon earth, which has suffered such wrongs as this negro blood that is still imputed to him as a sin! these people who disaun him, who have no sense of reparation toward him, have sinned against him beyond all measure. A SPECIAL LIAR. The, St. Louis Republic has has a special correspondent down in Dixie studying the race problem, who claims to have visited every Southern state except Florida and to have conversed with leading men in all of them. He says: "And all of these men, from the Texas Panhandle to the Atlantic, off the Carolinas, were agreed that the race question is the most menacing problem of the hour—what to do with a great, restless, worthless population that cannot be led or driven; what to do with the brute element that imperils the safety of women; what to do with an element that cannot or will not contribute to the upbuilding of the $state." The above extract is simply an illustration of the shamelessness with which men can be hired to lie. It is atrociously false that the population referred to is worthless: that very population is the labor element of the South and produces nearly all of its great staples. The correspondent simply displays a marvelous ignorance of Southern conditions and customs, by visiting the South during the Christmas holidays when the Afro-Americans were on a frolic such as they were trained to in the days of slavery. As to the worthlessness of the Afro-American an instructive incident occurred a few years ago in a prominent Southern town. Frightened by the prediction of a crazy woman that the town would be destroyed on a certain date, the Afro-American population fled to the woods. Were those "worthless" people missed. Only this much—every hotel, store, foundry, factory and mill in the town virtually shut down, even the express offices and railroads were crippled and could not transact business. The whole city was dead as a door-nail until the "worthless" Afro-Americans returned and went to work. Shakespeare speaks of one who "could lie with such volubility that you would think truth were a fool," and that great writer tersely describes the modern "correspondent" of the race and lineage of Anarans. THE ATLANTA MASSACRE. The report says: "The crimes of the mob included a robbery as well as murder. In a number of cases the property of innocent and offending people were taken. Furniture was destroyed, small shops were looted, windows smashed, money was taken from small hoards. In the commission of crime men and women alike were treated with usurpable brutality." The above is from the report of a committee appointed by a mass-meeting of citizens of Atlanta to investigate the causes of the mob-murders there, and a more conclusive answer to the charges of outrages upon white women could not be constructed. The Alanta mobsters were not chivalric heroes protecting the honor of their women, but a gang of thieves, murderers and rage-faced who cared nothing for decency and honor—they wanted to steal. The report leaves the prominent, respectable men who rushed into print to vindicate the doings of these hoodlums in a bad fix, by showing that their painstaking and elaborate pleas for the mob were false in the whole and in detail and renders their future utterances unworthy of serious attention. The Illinois Democrats whom Mr. Bryan compared to train-robbers may have some remarks to make respecting his candidacy for President. A Chicago journal says: "A timekeeper for the Shea sluggers told the jury that Shea devised a plot to blow up with dynamite a building where three hundred strike-breakers were living." There is scarcely any limitation to the immigration of men of the class represented by Shea—our gates, like the happy gates of gospel grace, stand open night and day for their reception. But we will learn by experience, after a while. Representative Kahn, of California, is a recent address, said that: "The people of the Pacific Coast were satisfied that the Japanese would always remain loyal to the Mikado, and that the oath of naturalization would be to them a hollow mockery. Californians did not want that kind of citizenship, and did not intend to have it, if they could prevent it." Yet it may be said that the Japanese are as desirable citizens and as loyal as some of the anarchists whom we are scooping in, who would not be loyal to any government, even one of their own framing. Because Representative Slayden of Texas is tall, broad, and deep, he is not terrified by the anonymous letters he has received rebuking and threatening him for introducing his bill providing that no colored men shall serve in the army of the United States. So says the veracious Chronicle, the associated press. In our opinion, the honorable gentleman has no reason to fear anything except that the general consensus of opinion will be that he is making an ass of himself. In the United States, during 1906, 70 Afro-Americans, including one woman, and two whites were murdered by mobs—all in the South. Of these, 33 were for assault or attempted assault, 31 for murder, and the rest for such grave crimes as missegenation, carrying a pistol, theft of calf, theft of $1 and disorderly conduct. Oaty one was burned alive, but several of the corpse were burned. The above shows an increase of seven cases over 1805. Lord Beresford's brother, who recently died out west, left a legacy of $10,000 to the Afro-American nurse who attended him during an attack of yellow fever. Also, P. J. King, a wealthy undertaker of Little Rock left a large estate to his Afro-American children, one of whom is casier in-law of J. E. Bush of Arkansas, of the Capitol City savings bank, and These legacies will help some. Herr Bebel, the socialist leader in the Reichsburg, gives the following account of German atrocities in Africa: He described the extermination of whole villages in South Africa by German troops, who massacred adults and then drowned the children in the river. The most that the government could say in reply was that there had been abuses, but that the worst reports had been exaggerated. When an Afro-American says that he does not want social equality, he means that he is perfectly willing to be Jim-crowed in the hall, the church, the street-car and the house of entertainment. So we contend, that when he says that, he is merely lying to please the "white folks." ASPARAGUS IS IN THE VAN. Precedes the Other Fresh Vegetables That Soring Affords Asparagus is the precursor of the season of fresh vegetables, and there is probably no other vegetable the flavor of which is so highly esteemed as is that of tender asparagus. Chemical analysis offers no explanation of its pleasant flavor, but assigns to it a decidedly high nutritional value. Asparagus, however, furnishes one of the most important nutrients, which, though containing more water in its composition than does milk, is nevertheless a solid substance. Thus the head of the asparagus contains slightly more than 93 per cent of water, which is only 1 per cent less than contained in the iettuce, but 5 per cent more than is present in milk. Asparagus is particularly rich in nitrogenous substances, which amount to 30 per cent of the dried vegetable. Among these may be reckoned a purin body, to which has been ascribed the harmful influence of asparagus on some persons with a gouty tendency. When asparagus is consumed in large quantities the output of uric acid is increased. The same effect is obtained after drinking copiously of beer, which also contains purin bodies, although they are entirely absent in wines, and, of course, in spirits. Sweetened may be objectionable on similar grounds. There is no reason for thinking, however, that when asparagus is eaten in reasonable quantities, there is a considerable disturbance of the bodily functions. On the contrary, it is very digestible and is easily tolerated, even by invalids. Keen Sight of Birds of Prey. The sharp-eyed hawk can say a lark upon a piece of earth almost exactly the same color at twenty times the distance it is perceptible to man or dog. A kite soaring out of human sight can still distinguish and pounce upon lizards and field mice upon the ground, and the distance at which wizards can sight their prey is almost incredible. Recent discoveries have inlined naturalists to the belief that birds of prey have the acute sense of smell or of hearing that has hitherto been accredited them. Their keen sight seems better to account for their action, and they appear to be guided by sight alone, as they never sniff at anything, but dart straight at the object of their desire. Their counterparts in the ocean doubtless smell and see, but are more guided by smell than sight. In both sharks and rays the eyes are good sensors, and since they scent their prey from short distance and swim up to it, with greatest rapidity, smell may be called their real eye. A Viscount's Wager. A marvelous story is being told in Paris of a new master's plight: Paris of a peer painter's pilgrimage. Ten years ago, according to the story, Viscount Jacques de Gruntal a wager of £12,000 with some companions that he would make the tour of the world on one foot, accompanied by his fiancée, whom he was to marry on the day of his departure, husband and wife subsisting exclusively the whole time on the viscount's earnings as an amateur painter. There was no stipulation as to time. The pair have just reached Paris on their return, after successfully reaccomplishing their undertaking and winning the bet. They have invaded Australia, living on nothing but the meagre profits of the viscount's brunch. Deadly Banana Bug. A banana bug of the kind which sometimes poisons banana eaters with a venom more deadly than that of the rattlesnake was found in a bunch of bananas in a South Water street commission house the other day. The bug is about two and $ \frac{1}{2} $ half inches long, with a pair of stiff, overlapping wings, each about an inch wide. When it clings to an overripe banana one cannot tell where the banana skin ends and bug back begins, on account of mottled brown color of these wings. Thrown on his back, the bug reveals three pairs of legs and one pair of long feelers. Behind the Times. "You oughurt to make love to me and try to kiss me before we have been aquainted five minutes," protested the unisophisticated maiden, adjusting her pompadour. "That's where you push the wrong button," said the young man. "When this little affair of ours is worked up into a modern life we shall have done over a thousand words of scintillating, raptuous courtship inside of three minutes. Quit turning your face away!" Considerate. "Why does the conductor collect fares just as we are entering the tunnel?" inquired the stranger. "That is the company's order," explained the native. "It's to cover the conductor's confusion when he blushes for having to collect any fare at all on this line." Horse Sense. Gyer—that horse of mine is both deat and blind, but he's terribly afraid of automobiles. Mver- Why, how's that? Mver- What sort of smell is just as good as it ever is. good as it ever was. Good Dairy Products. The farmers of the Montreal and Quebec country sold $30,000,000 worth of butter cheese during the last season. TOO BIG A FIELD Extinguisher Only Designed for Earth ly Use. Years ago, while Rev. Mr. Standaloupe was a student at the seminary, he undertook one vacation season, to sell fire extinguishers. His pleasing address and nffability allow him to make many sales. However, he bequeath the usual rebuffs which are the experience of all agents. The theological student had galued "To hell with it!" peared the broker, fendishly. "Oh my dear man," expostulated Standaloupe, "this extinguisher does not deserve the extreme virtue with which you credit it." —Hoper's Weekly. Big Peanuts This Year. Peanut towers have noticed that the nuts are generally very much larger this year than usual, a fact which may be verified by the most casual glance at any stand where they are sold. They are also said to be much better in flavor, though there are some connoisseurs who declare that the small nut is the sweeter. "The increased size of the peanut now in the market," says a wholesale dealer, "is die more to improvement, cultivation, I think, than to the accession of new conditions, though the current crop is unusually large in quantity. As to the relative merits of the large and small nut, I cannot speak, being a seller and not an actor, of them. I do know, however, that with these big peanuts on sale there is practically no market for the little ones." Poetical. In the old sunny fields of Indiana we found the old farmer plowing. "They say this is a 'great country for poets," we ventured. "It be that," drawned the old man, rewriting on the plow handles. "Every one of my seven children carries a pretty middle name and writes poetry." "Pretty good record." "And the old woman writes poetry as soon as she is through in the kitchen." "Great Homer!" "And the hired man writes poetry in the barn." "Wonderful!" And do you write poetry, too? "I just recite dialect poems to the mules when they bath, instead of cussing. Works like a charm," cause Indiana mules are powerful poetical." Searchlight Scared Footpads To a searchlight used by a local advertising electrical firm Charles Douglas, an oil worker, ascribes his escape from two highways. The searchlight, on the top of a high building, sweeps every part of the city. While Douglas, alone, was awake at night, he was confronted by two men who ordered him to "shell out." Douglas started to comply, suddenly the beams of the searchlight fell upon the faces of the two men, who, terrified, took to their heels. Douglas ran and made good his escape. Irish Wit. An Irishman, being arrested for striking a fellow workman during an altercation, said: "Shure, yer honor, I didn't know there was any harm in it. I had nothing in me hand but me fissure. Louis XIV, asked Count Mahoney if he could speak Italian. "Yes, please, yeer majesty," answered the count, "if it's spoken in English." "Here, you bogrotter," said a dandy to an Irish bachelor; "come tell me the biggest he you ever told in your life, and I'll attend the treat." "Mr. Pat, 'yer honors a real gentleman." Modera Methods "We have some fine sausage," ventured the waiter. "Keep it." "How about a taste of ham?" "Cut it out." "Corned beef, potted chicken, canned tongue?" "Thunder and Mars! You must take me for an investigating committee. I came here to get something to eat. Bring me a glass of distilled water and a fumilized banana." Facts in the Case She had all kinds of money and he bad fast as many kinds of nerve. had just as many kinds of nerve. "But," she protested. "I don't see why you are in such a hurry about our marriage. I prefer a long engagement. Oh. I'm in no hurry," he replied, "but my creditors are. See." "Didn't you guarantee dis yah 'letric fan 'fo two yeas'"? "Yes sir, but not against accidents." "Den yo gotta gimme a new fan, sah. Ah done busted dis obah Will Washin'tcn's hail, an' 'twap no accident, nuthah. Ah done it a-pu- pose." Compromise. "I have a little grandmother," said a senator, "who is very fond of animals, specially dogs. Her mother has taught her to pronounce the word until it sounds like dahg. Her father sticks to the good old fashioned dawg, so the child has compromised, and now every canine is a 'dahg daw'." Not to Be Persuaded That Soda Fountain Customer Knows His Mind. The German girl who presided over the soda fountain in Heckelmer's drug store was accustomed to patrons who did not know their own minds and her habit of thought was difficult to change. "I'd like a glass of plain soda," said a stout man, entering one day in evidence haste as well as thirst. "You have vanilla or you have lemon?" tranquilly inquired the young woman. "I wish plain soda—without sirup. Didn't you understand me?" asked the stout man testily. "Yax," she placed German face did not clammy expression or color. "But wart kind of sirup you want him mitout? Mitout vanilla or mitout lemon?" What is love without truth, or truth without love? They purify and enoble each other—W. G. Clinton.

Zion Baptist church, Mrs. Reid was overcome by nervous prostration yesterday at 232 West Seventh street, where they make their home with her husband. Some of the occupants of the house thought they smelled gas and believed that Mrs. Reid was attempting to end her life. Her husband, who was the first to enter the room, declares he smelled no gas and that the doctor who was called attributed Mrs. Reid's condition to nervous prostration. Dr Rael Reid is the following statement of the affair: "Mrs. Reld came to Slovak City much fatigued, due to overwork in getting our goods ready for shipment. Besides, she has always been averse to my remaining in the ministry because of the hardships one must suffer and the eager salaries she receives by Afro-American mailers. All of them things prevailed upon her mind unyerved her to such an extent that she said she could stand if no longer. She walked upstairs to our room, but I paid but little heed to her, having seen her in a similarly despondent condition. Mrs. Gross was then playful, and I got accustomed to the kitchen and spoke to our boy, who said to me later that his mother told him that she could not live much longer under the present Defective Page strain. She returned and evidently must have immediately penned these words: 'My life is so unhappy,' with a dash following. 'After Mrs. Gross finished playing 'Nearer My God, to Thee,' I went upstairs and found my wife prostrate 'Nearer My God, to Thee,' I went upstairs and found my wife prostrate 'Nearer My God, to Thee,' I turned the jet into entering the room. Other occupants of the house said that they smelled gas, so we brought her to the fresh air and she partially revived. As I had seen her in a similar condition whenever she was overworked I did not become alarmed. To be sure that gas was not the cause of her condition I called 'Nearer My God,' who relieved my fears by pronouncing the collapses nervous prostration." Dr. and Mrs. Reid came to Sloux City a few weeks ago from Fort Madison, Ia. The opposition of his wife to remaining in pastoral work is not new, according to Dr. Reid. She has objected to his course ever since he was born. He is the Minister of theapolis police force to take up his studies. He admits that an Afro-American minister can eke out but a meager living, but declares he has been called to preach and will not forsake his profession. He received his degree of doctor of divinity on October 22 McKinley university at Vincennes Ind. As soon as Mrs. Reid is able to travel her husband expects to send her to her old home in Missouri for a rest and change. WONDERS OF INDIAN OCEAN. Great Variety in Lie Is Found at Remarkable Depths. J. Stankey Gardiner of Cambridge university has been exploring the Italian ocean, and gives it as his opinion that at one time there was land covered by a giant gascar. But it is in describing the wonders of the deep that his report grows most interesting. "A very considerable variety of deep-sea fish was brought up," he says. "At least half the number we secured quite new specimens, and, I believe, are not very large. Of these these had enormous eyes, some only rudimentary eyes, the size of a pin head, while some had no eyes at all. "One of the most interesting discoveries we made was that floating life is exceedingly abundant at all depths down to about 1,200 fathoms in seas 2,500 fathoms deep. By floating life I mean animals which form the food of wales and deep-ocean fish, and which up to the present have been believed to live on or very close to the surface, a variety of enormous juvenile fish, such as jelly fish and gigantic prawns, fully six inches long. Some of these latter were blind, while others had huge eyes, but all of them of all the phosphorescent organs which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at a depth where almost total darkness prevails. "The blind varieties had enormous feelers, or tentacles, some of them extending to twice the length of their bodies. Some forms, such as the water flea, which is only about the size of a pil's head in surface water, we discovered six or ten times that size in 600, or 700 fathoms."—Dundee Advertiser. "Love Chairs" Reversed Baltimore—A "Jim Crow" suit of two negroes against the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway company was tried in the city court. Robert Syke (colored) was called to the stand as a witness for the plaintiffs. "Dey jesx excluded us from all good parts of de boat," Syke said. "What do you mean by the good parts of the boat?" was asked. "Well," was the reply, "dere wuz a plannah on de boat, an' we couldn't git neah it. Den dy wouldn't let us neah the love chats." "What do you mean by the love chairs?" "Love chalais is dem tings won a fellow sit on when he's got his gal. Deyt's twisted so's dy can look into each other's eyes." The plaint lost his case. — New York World. GIRLS TURN THE RASCALS OUT. Polite Little Maids Supplant Rude Small Boys as Caddies. Young women addicted to golf are securing young girls as caddies. So there's another masculine occupation changing hands. The player say they never had a boy attendant say who didn't either giggle, laugh, exclaim or criticise when the golfer made an off hit. The boys, too, were apt to run off after stray squirrels or else were too busy to come at the very time their services were most desired. According to Good Housekeeping, those who have tried grit and them more respectful, more companionable and more conscientious. Their strength seems equal to that of the boys, while their manners are decidedly more soothing. **Pleasing by Motion Cycle.** After all the motorizing burglar runs a risk. They may come to grief, as a couple of poachers did on Lord Londesley's property. The other day—men more ingenuous than humanities. The story was told at Sleford, says the Pall Mall Gazette. These poachers had a motor cycle with a basket trailler. The latter had been fitted with a box to hold twenty hares and a trained dog, the machine itself with guns concealed among the works. Thus equipped in an up-to-date way, they set out briskly for the happy hunting ground and turned the dog loose. What they and provided for happened; they were chased by keepers. But when they reached the wreched motor it refused to start, and of course it has been escaped like any other poaching implement. It is 10 p. m. They are seated in the parlor. "No," she says, bowing her head. "Pa says I am too young to become engaged." II It is just 1:30 a. m. They are still seated in the parlor. Suddenly, from somewhere upstairs, a grunt voice shouts: "Henrietta, if that fellow waits a little longer you'll be old enough to accept his proposal." DOINGS IN. AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

An employment bureau is connected with the club to furnish employment for those. The dancing party given by the best dancers of theomas Miss last Friday evening was a little affair. About 100 of the small folks from both cities were present. Many difficult figures were danced with a grace and dignity that would have been impossible to greater years. The affair as a whole was the best seen here for a long time. The Mecca club of St. Paul has issued the invitations to its swell ball at Bowlby Hall, on Wednesday evening Jan. 30th, and the members endeavored to send them to all of their friends.

BAPTISMAL ROBE BALLGOWN. ‘This Girl ‘Was an Economic Utilita- rian. ‘That this ts the age of utilitarian- ism has been proclaimed, and it ev- erybody demands proof of the state- ment let it be found in the recent of an upper West side girl says the New York Press. She took her bap- tismal robe (incidentally the robe used by the three generations of her forebears when they renounced the flesh and the devil), a garment hand- embroidered in fine circles and squares. ‘This delieatelymade robe she converted into a modern ballgown by ripping off the yoke and inserting the gathered finery into the regtla- tion high girdle. The skirt was broad enough to. permit the conventional show of plaits, An insertion of fine hand-embroidery was _ made about four inches from the hem, and the edge was scalloped and finished im Valenciennes lace. Some persons may cry out against such use of a robe with church associations, but this girl is an avowed bachelor girl, and probably the garment never would have been used again if she nad not thought up the new way.
