The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. BRYCE IS HIGHEST PAID OF BRITISH DIPLOMATS BRITISH EMBASSY, N STREET AND CONNECTICUT AVENUE, WASHINGTON. VOL. 23. NO. 16. BRYCE IS HIGHEST OF E By Advancing Salary to $5 Makes Washington P England has just paid to Uncle Sam the greatest compliment of his diplomatic history. Johnny Bull takes off his hat, and announces that in the importance of relations with England, the United States is the foremost government of the world. This announcement has not been made in so many words, but in a far more substantial manner, its truth is attested in solid cash, for besides picking out one of its foremost citizens as ambassador, England has just raised his salary till it is the highest paid any diplomat in the service of King Edward. Mr. Bryce, who has just taken possession of the British embassy, will get $50,000 salary every year that he represents England in this country. This is as much money as good to President Roosevelt for conducting the affairs of this nation. It is three times as much as Ambassador Reid, who represents Uncle Sam at the court of St. James, gets for his year's toil. But the fact most important is that the $50,000 stipend is $5,000 more than the English ambassador to France is paid, and he was heretofore ranked as the most important of British diplomats. This is a most profound recognition of the position of commanding importance the United States has taken in the world's councils. When after the struggle for freedom in the days of " 76, the arms of the American colonists had been crowned with victory, and the mother country grudgingly conceding independence, sent a minister to the new republic, that individual was counted one of the least significant of English diplomats, and probably thought himself lucky to draw one thousand pounds per year. MRS. JAMES BRYCE. Even till the triumphant ending of the War of the Rebellion proved the enduring capacity of the young republic, and demonstrated a fighting power that Europe had not dreamed of. Britain still adopted the attitude of indifference, sometimes unconcealed contempt for the government at Washington, and the men who came here were not only of minor caliber socially and mentally, but were underpaid compared with the diplomats who conducted negotiations with the mother country at Berlin, Paris and St. Petersburg and Vienna. The coming of Paunecfeote started a new era, that was completed when the BRITISH EMBASSY. A Job's Comforter. "A horse is a man's best friend," said the man who likes animals. "Yes," answered young Mrs. Torkins with a sigh, "but when he gets on the race track he is liable to prove one of those fool friends who make so much trouble. Big Bird of Prey. The largest bird of prey in the world is the bearded vulture, which measures, from wing tip to wing tip, as much as nine or ten feet. Spanish-American war forced the United States to the forefront diplomatically, and forged chains of friendship between the United States and Great Britain that had not up to the time been deemed a possibility. For many years Washington was ranked with St. Petersburg as a post of diplomatic importance, and the salary was the same, $39,000, but now it has gone into the lead, and Bryce is the costliest man among Britain's envoyes. At the present time the new ambassador and his wife are expending $10,000 allowed them by England to rett the embassy. He is finding it congenial work, for he is in love with his new post, and expects to spend many more years here. Bryce is one of the first men ever sent to Washington from England who comes as a close friend, who has always admired the United States, and openly voiced his admiration at home among many of those who do not—or did not—share it. Mr. Bryce comes less as a diplomat than as a foremost English statesman, who regards Americans as kinsmen. For thirty years he has been accepted by Britons as the foremost authority on all matters pertaining to the United States. His book on the American commonwealth is a classic in the history of the country and could have created the subject more understandably or with better justice an enthusiasm for the country's institutions. In fact it can be truthfully said that Bryce knows more about America than the majority of Americans. Nevertheless the new ambassador has not been among those who talk mawkishly of "hands across the sea," and advise armed alliances. As a matter of fact he has always opposed and "ententes" between the two countries, and preached that an honorable, but entirely independent friendship, was the best possible basis of relations. It is a curious fact that in most of his attitudes on important public questions Bryce has been on the same side that has been popular in the United States. He is strongly in favor of home rule for Ireland, he opposed the Boer war, even though the act cost him many of his friends at home, he advocated the cause of the oppressed Bulgarians in the eighties, and the Armenians in the nineties. His opposition to the Boer war is a remarkable chapter, for prior to its out break he was the closest friend and ardent champion of Cecil Rhodes. He always argued that Britons residing in the Boer country had a right to some voice in the government toward the support of which they were heavily taxed, but when the war came he changed his stance and legitimate cause for conflict had not existed. He bore the reproach of being pro-Boer without protest, and fought the conflict to the end. When Mr. Balfour resigned office at the end of 1905, Sir Campher-Bannier man appointed Mr. Bryce chief secretary for Ireland, and it was the painstaking work of Bryce in this post that commended him for selection to the highest priced place in the gift of the British crown. The new ambassador is thorough. He lives every detail. During his time in Ireland, he filled his mind with information that made him invaluable at all councils. It will be the same at N STREET AND CONNECTICUT AVENUE Among City Landlords. Smith—I don't know what we fellows are going to do. All the tenants go to the country. Jones (sadly)—Yes, I know.

THE APPEAL. Washington though he starts with the prime advantage of knowing the subject well already. President Roosevelt especially welcomed the appointment of Mr. Bryce, because of the mutual admiration that exists between the two men of letters. Indeed, the bond of friendship is very close, as Mr. Bryce is not only a bushy man, but an athlete, after the president's own heart. In view of the close affiliations of Mr. Bryce with the people of his new post, it is also interesting to note that Mrs. Bryce is descended of American stock, her maternal grandfather having been Samuel Stillman Fair of Boston, Mass, who went to England early in the last century, and became the Liverpool partner of the famous firm of Baring Brothers. Mrs. Bryce has long taken an interest in matters, and also in social problems. Although sixty-eight years of age, Bryce still remains quite an athlete. He is a good walker, a fair golfer, and owns a motor car. JOHN H. HARRIS UPPER HALF ONLY IS READ. Lower Part of Letters of Little Con- sequence, Saves a Printer. "Did you ever think," said an old printer, "that we really notice only the upper halves of the letters. The lower halves are in many cases only the stems, the remanders of ornamental flourishes which have been gradually reduced in size and length, and aer now meaningless. "Take, for instance, the heading of a paper. Cover up with a blank sheet the lower half of the letters and even if you did not know what they were you would have no difficulty in reading the words. Now reverse the process and cover the upper half and if you did not know the words it would be impossible to make out the letters. This fact is even more plainly seen in the case of the Roman letters used for headlines. An L might be mistaken for an I, but nearly all the other letters are so plainly indicated by the shape of the upper half that the lines may be read without difficulty. "In their zeal for reform and economy the advocates of the new spelling might make this idea useful, and instead of abolishing a few letters in a few words they might cut off the lower quarter or half of every letter and so save 25 per cent."

Hundreds of individuals have thought so for the last five years, but now it is all officially settled. No one man was entrusted with the task of deciding such a momentous question. Even Paris himself who made the historic decision between Juno, Venus and Minerva, would probably have shrunk from picking out from the many entries the one daughter of Britain who excelled all the others. Instead a popular vote was held with this result: 1. Lady Pole-Carew. 2. Lady Helen Vincent. 3. Princess Henry of Pless. 4. The Duchess of Sutherland. 5. Julia Neilson. 6. Evelyn Millard. The vote that resulted in this choice was an honest one, for it represented a popular poll, everybody being permitted to vote from king to beggar. King Edward himself took a keen interest in the outcome of the ballot, and it is even whispered that he cast a vote, but which of the fair dames of his realm received his suffrage is a secret that he probably would not have disclosed for a liberal percentage of his royal allowance. Even Edward's popularity could hardly survive the resentment of those he overlooked. The choice of Lady Pole-Carew is popular, for she has long been pictured as the typical British beauty. Moreover, she has a great personal following, part of which probably results from the valorous part her husband, Gen. Pole-Carew, played in the war against the Boers. The wedding of PRINCESS HENRY OF PLESS Pole-Carew and Lady Beatrice took place in 1901, after he had returned from war crowned with laurels. She was the daughter of the marquis of Ormond. The head of the winner of the contest is superb. It is classical in outline, the nose and mouth being purest Grecian. Her neck and shoulders are magnificent, and the hair is one lustrous mass that falls in ringlets over her eyebrows, and clusters in a huge coil on the back of her neck. Lady Beatrice ascribes her perfect complexion to the breezes of Ireland which famed her cheeks during her girlhood days. She is a much travelled woman, and among her possessions is an uncut rub presented to her by the shah of Perisia, when as a child she visited his court with her parents. She lives in Boro castle, one of the loveliest of Erin's many picturequeen country seats. Sir Edward Vincent, a prominent figure in British politics, is the husband of the winner of the second prize, Lady Helen Vincent. She is a daughter of the first earl of Faversham. Sir winner of the third prize is more or less connected by birth with the United States. Her mother, Mrs. Cornwallis West, was a famous Irish beauty of a quarter of a century ago, and her brother married Lady Radcland Churchill. The Princess of Pless is famous for more than her beauty. She is a literary woman, whose ability is recognized by the most crudite of Johnny Bull's critics. She is generally credited with having written the immensely successful "Elizabeth in Her German Garden." Fourth place also went to a literary woman, the Duchess of Sutherland. This super lady possesses an intellect as flashing as her face and figure are beautiful. She wrote a play that, while it failed, "The Conquerors," Defective Page MINNESOTA HISTORY SHE SOCIETY. APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4- It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5- It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6- It asks no support but the people's. critics admitted had much in it that was worthy of note. The Duchess of Sutherland is a sportswoman, too. She can manage the tiller of her husband's costly yacht, "Nana;" is a golfer and horse-woman. The winners of the places in this contest of beauty represent many types. Lady Pole-Carew is the purely classical, Lady Vincent is distinctively Mary THE NEW YORK TIMES Mary LADY BEATRICE POLE-CAREW, Voted most beautiful woman in England. English, after the fashion that Ameri- cans are sometimes inclined to think rather insipid. There is much of the Irish in the blonde, violet-eyed Princess Henry of Pless. The Duchess of Sutherland is notable for a wonderful pair of eyes, a perfect Cupid's bow mouth, a wealth of hair and a face that is a flawless oval. A beauty contest held in the United States would probably see comparatively few votes cast for the owners of the nation's wealth, not that prejudice would withhold them the suffrages, but because the American of the middle classes but seldom gets a chance to see the women of the upper ten. England's aristocrats mingle more among the poor than the wealthy women of the United States do. Thus probably 50 per cent of the London workmen know all four of the winners of the contest by sight. Actresses would probably have monopolized the vote in an American beauty contest. Two of them were placed in the English vote, but they ranked fifth and sixth. The first of the pair is very well known in Uncle Sam's realm, Julia Neilson, and if she were only good enough to be placed fifth, it speaks volumes for the pulchritude of those who were rated above her. Lady Pole Carare had more votes than her next two opponents put together. Lady Warwick fell just short of the total required to give her sixth place. Many gallant Britons voted for Queen Alexandra, though the latter, now a grandmother, laughed at the idea that she should be rated with beauties. Be this as it may England's queen is still a beautiful woman. A A MARIA MAYORA LADY HELEN VINCENT; Who won second honor in beauty contest. --- SHUN HOODOO DESK CLERKS AT WASHINGTON ARE SUPERSTITIOUS. No One Cares to Work at Places That Seem Marked Out for Misfortune—Doorkeeper's Post an Example. A series of misfortunes involving dismissals, resignations and deaths in the executive departments in Washington often develops what is known as the "hoodoo desk," says the Washington Post. A desk comes under suspicion after a dismissal of two from the service or after several transfers or resignations, and if there should occur several deaths among the occupants of the desk in the course of a year or two it is designated as the hoodoo desk, and no one in that room cares to do clerical work at it. In a room filled with clerks the hoodoo desk is easily recognized, for it is most generally occupied with the surplus books and general litter of the daily routine work. The desk may remain unoccupied sometimes for months, until some new clerk comes into the room and is assigned to it, provided there is another waiver desk in the room. Bureau officials generally assign a new clerk to the hoodoo desk if it can be done. In fact, the desk is apt to remain without an occupant until radical changes in the personnel of the office cause its reputation to be forgotten. In one department there is a hoodoo desk from which four clerks have died in the last two years, two have resigned, one has been dismissed and three have been transferred. Therefore, no one cares to occupy it now. A $1,200 clerk said several days ago, in a half-hearted way, that he would move from his present room and try it for awhile if they would promote it to $1,800. He said afterward, however, that he had merely paid. There are other hoodoos in Washington. Some years ago a doorkeeper's post in the war department building came under the ban and it was a source of considerable annoyance to the officials. At this particular door the first misfortune was death, the second dismissal, the third holder of the post lost his wife by death and finally伤 and broke a limb, and the fourth appointee in succession lost a child and then resigned. This resignation kept the place vacant for a time, as no one could be induced to take it. The place had to be filled by calling on the civil-service commission for some one from the outside. Perhaps the most conspicuous case of a hoodoo desk in any one of the Washington city departments was that in a succession of misfortunes came to private secretaries of one of the assistant secretaries. Several deaths and other misfortunes made the place dreaded. Unfortunate Twins There is a colored woman who resides in one of the courts in the northwest section of Washington, and who has a pendant for bestowing upon her children unique Christian names. She has named one of her girls Ambrosia and another Cymballine, while her eldest boy bears the cognomen of Prince Edward. It recently occurred to her that "pickaninny, make a good prefix for her next girl, and she should apply it. But recently she became a mother of twin girls, and one of her friends called to see her and queried: "Now, 'Liza, you done got two gals; whatgweinny ter name um?" "Well, Susanna, you know Ise stuck on dat name Pickaninny, and Ise gweinny ter arrange it so's I can gib it to my two twins. Ise gweinny ter name one ob dem gals 'Pickle' and de oder 'Ninny', an 'dat' make de whole word—Pickaninny." Rumor Busy With Carliele. The Hon. John G. Carlisle, who has an intermittent residence in Washington, daughter-in-law and granddaughter at a handsome home in K street, presents him years ago by his Kentucky admirer not taxy with the soft impeachment when the beautiful Mrs. Logan of Virginia, sister of the Hon. St. George Tucker, president of the Jamestown exposition. When asked directly, "Is it so? Mr. Carlisle, the distinguished widower warily slips on a kindly mask of imperturbability and makes a reply of adroit noncommittalism. Hence —?" Mrs. Alice Longworth is taking her place as a hostess in Washington society and her Tuesday at homes are becoming one of the weekly features of the capital. It is an open secret that Mrs. Longworth has political ambitions for her husband and, perhaps she is not far wrong in believing that one of the open doors to political engagement is to be found in the social observances for which she is so well fitted. A Breath From Berlin. "What did he do, Mr. Chairman," said an excited speaker at a recent political meeting in Berlin, "when he found the ship was sinking? Did he nail his colors to the mast and stand by the old flag? No, sir; he got out and ran away." "We will," shouted an inspired solemn, "was really a German "burn all our ships and with our sail unfurled will steer boldly out into the illimitable freedom!"—Illustrated Zeitung.

SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1907. HILL'S POLITICAL ECONOMY. Prof. Wm. Hill of the University of Chicago, who is not a professor of common sense but of political economy is trying to make folks believe that he knows something worth telling about the condition of the Afro-American in the South. "The planter raises his cotton by Negro labor," asserted Professor Hill. "Before the cotton is grown he practically mortages the crop to the storekeeper in return for supplies on which the Negro farmer and his family must live until the crop is sold. "The cotton-growing Negro gets nothing ahead. His future is discounted that he may have the necessities of life." These conditions Professor Hill blamed on the Negro himself, asserting that with few exceptions Negro labor in the south is irresponsible and not to be depended upon. Now the United States Census report shows that the "cotton-growing Negro" has got millions of dollars ahead, but the professor of political economy has, apparently, never read that interesting production. And, moreover, all laborers from the President down to professors of political econ- W. H. H. Hon. Fred A.

The rump convention of Oklahoma was one of the greatest burlesques ever perpetrated. A correspondent gives the following resume of the doings: National Guard in that vicinity, has reported to the war department that there are now organized thirty-seven companies, or three regiments, of these private soldiers, organized to combat rather than enforce the law. All of which shows that the Southern mania for lawlessness has about per "For eighteen days they debated whether they should accept the Constitution of the United States as their highest authority, and five days more were taken up with a discussion of whether 'Almighty God' or the 'Supreme Ruler of the Universe' should be placed in the preamble. Despite the fact that the enabling act of Congress stipulated that the constitution of the new State should conform to the United States Constitution and a republican form of government, provision for the initiative and referendum has been placed in the law in accordance with a pure democracy. Provision has also been made for the disfranchisement of Afro-Americans by means of stipulation that the legislature may change from time to time the qualifications for voters. Anarchy has been authorized by a provision which prevents a corporation from defending its property by armed men. In other words, a corporation cannot hire a night watch man." It was a regular Kangaroo Court. THE SEVEN VEILS. Our friend Tillman is very proud of the large audiences of Yankees which his lectures in the North attract, and boasts "sae rantingly, sae vauntingly," of that fact. But Tillman no longer holds the championship in that direction—a woman has knocked him out. On the stage she portrays Salome and dances the "dance of the seven vells," which meritorious performance consists of appearing apparelled in seven vells, of which she divests herself, one by one, during the progress of the dance, until she reaches what was the height of fashion in the days of Eve. When this performance was pulled off in New York, society tumbled over itself to get seats, or even standing room. Unfortunately, Tillman, "aint no woman." and can't dance "the seven vells." VIRUS PERMEATES COUNTRY. The startling information is conveyed in the report of an army inspector to the military secretary that the labor unions in the mines of Pennsylvania are organizing companies of troops to fight the State National Guard in case of labor troubles which involve rioting. While the situation is not unique, it is shocking. Capt. Whitney of the United States army, the inspecting officer who was sent to that section to inspect the State [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit].

Atlanta, Ga, April 14—At a union meeting of whites and Afro-Americans, the NAACP held a rally in the school cafeteria races, Bishop H. M. Turner, of the A, M. E. church, declared that enough innocent negro blood had been shed t o drown congress. He followed this rally with a jury test with himself as to which had the more education and refinement. National Guard in that vicinity, has reported to the war department that there are now organized thirty-seven companies, or three regiments, of these private soldiers, organized to combat rather than enforce the law. All of which shows that the Southern mania for lawlessness has about permeated the whole country. There was, at one time, in this country a solid mass of correct public sentiment which was a sure guarantee that such demonstrations as the foregoing did not mace the public peace to any alarming extent, but that time has gone by. Henceforth, our government must, to a large extent be that of the bayonet and rapid-firing gun. SECRET SOCIETIES "One phase of the Negro problem that is worrying the delta planters at this time is the influence on members of the race by the secret societies to which they belong. It frequently happens that large colonies of Negroes, two hundred or more in number, pack up and move without a word of explanation, and the investigation that follows usually shows that some labor agent secured their services by conviving with the officers or leaders of some secret society." All such phases of the problem are deemed by the delta planters as news worthy of great publicity. But such an item as that the Afro-American Masonic grand lodge of the state disbursed $87,000, last year, for the relief of the widows and orphans of deceased brethren, though published and widely distributed in the minutes, is not deemed worthy of the brieffest mention. Those planters ought to stop whining. We often hear the complaint that white people blame the whole Afro-American people for the misdeeds or crimes of a few individuals. This leads THE APPEAL to remark that this condition of things will never be checked until the race refuses to recognize men of no moral character as leaders. Hon. Galusha A. Grow, who died recently at Glenwood, Pa., served in Congress about forty years and was one of the wisest and most consistent friends of the Afro-American that ever served in that capacity. He was the "father of the Homestead law," by the operation of which millions of acres of western farm lands were donated to settlers. The Presidenth has appointed Rev Oscar J. W.

Manly Courage Usually Physical and Brilliant—Womanly Courage Long-Suffering and without Glory—Many Do Not Realize Their Bravery—Patient Endurance of Stratified Circumstances and Unhappy Homes—Disappointment Concealed with a Smile—Hardships Endured by Refined Women Whom Misfortune Has Overtaken. (Copyrights by J. B. Bowles.) (Hon. Maud Pauncefoe) is the oldest daughter of the late Lord Pauncefoe, first ambassador from Great Britain, and honorable and honorable career of her distinguished father in this country of the British emperor in Washington. The courage of men is one of the many wonders of the human race. If it were not for this indisputable fact the world would not be conquered and the greater part of it rendered habitable by the courage and industry of man. Especially in America do we know that the pilgrim has done. When we read of the hardest work gone by the pilgrims—women and men alike—and the struggle that went on to make homes for themselves and their children, we begin to understand that were it not for the indomitable courage shown by them the United States might not now be holding its proud position among the world's greatest nations. A witty lawyer once remarked that the pilgrim was the first to be freed. He said: "How few sympathize with the pilgrim mothers! Yet, added to all else, they had to put up with the pilgrim fathers as well." Women seldom have physical courage, though there are several historical instances of it. There was Joan of Arc. There were the women in Holland, who helped defend the cities against overwhelming odds. Even now, women are the papers of one woman protecting a house against a burglar or performing other heroic acts, but usually woman's courage comes out in a far qualler and a more long-suffering form, with no glory attached to it. Washington is a spot to make one reflect on the courage of women. To see the daily defile at 4 o'clock from the departments, where 1,000 women are magnificent, now that wage-earning for women is an established fact. No one knows what courage is needed for a woman constitutionally nervous to have to be on time early every morning at an office winter and summer, snow or heat; but the determination to do or die keeps them up, for the mainspring of a woman's life—love helps them along. There is little or sister or daughter are children whose very existence depends on the vigor of one member of the family. For them the woman works unceasingly, uncomplainingly and devotedly. The salaries are high in government employ; so, with some little addition, a manless household can get along, but it is a struggle. Then there is the courage of economy, which being translated means self-denial. The married woman or young girl not a wage-earner but one who works hard deprives herself of amusements and of all expenditure on self, stitching away with her own hands to save dressmakers' bills and buying nothing for herself except the actual MAY BE GREAT BEGINNING. Possibilities in Generous Gift of Mrs. Russell Sage. In our great Appalachian chain there are many mountains that have a slow and steady slope on their northerly side, but break off into a precipice, giddy, sun-swept and glorious, toward the south. The vast fortune of Russell Sage is like one of those mountains. How many cold, patient, sunless years Sage spent in pilling up that slowly climbing hoard! And now, if the benevolent hopes of Mrs. Sage are realized, it is to break suddenly away in a bewildering golden descent to the very doorways of the humble dwellers in the valley, bringing down its food of light and amusement. No one can doubt the essential benevolence of this gift, which is likely to be overcome. It will depend a good deal on the way the trust or foundation is administered. If the money is frittered away in finding out new ways to theize about the living conditions of the people it will simply necessaries of life—that means courage; for it is well known that shopping and clothes to the feminine mind are among life's temptations. No one enjoys economy, for it means self-denial and constant thought. It is aging and unbecoming; but quite unostentatiously women are often the ones who selfsels of half the fun which is given to more fortunate sisters, making no complaint and not realizing how brave they are in this daily battle. As women have to bring up the rising generation more depends on them personally than on men. It therefore behooves women to try to mold their own characters, above all to control their tempers, to avoid all feelings of favoritism, as children are so quick at finding out those things and as result become morbid and jealous. The initiative talent of children is the man woman of little control of character one recognizes the development of the weak character of the mother who failed in the training of the individual. Naturally as people grow older they can improve themselves, but grown people are rarely told of their faults and many faults are glaring to outsiders while the person is absolutely unconscious of their possession, accounting for the many nervous, selfish and uncontrolled women to be met. As mere experience drives the character, doubt, strengthens. Adversity is a hard taskmaster and in most cases what persons do not capture themselves they cannot realize for others. Of the many splendid and excellent charities and endowments given to America, with noble generosity by men who in many cases have made their millions themselves, as, for example, the Stanford university, the Yale University, the hospitals in New York given and dowled by private munificence, and the libraries now sprinkled over a large area by Mr. Carbegie, one gift which does not make so much stir in the world and one which fills a great need is Mr. Corcoran's Louise home, Mr. Corcoran was a great benefactor.

Great fortunes are now frequently made and generous impulses are ever rising so that perhaps some day it may occur to a philanthropist that a house somewhat on the lines of Mr. Corcoran's thought would be a godsend in Washington. It should be an apartment house in which there was a few hard and fast rules, such as dividing families. There mother and daughter need not be divided, nor two sisters; they could have an apartment to themselves, perhaps paying a sum toward a general mess, in which case the rooms, the warming and the gas would be given free. Then the salary or annuity would cover expenses and care. If ever he be accomplished the place for it, for it is there that so many come whose professions bring them to the capital to live on salaries which die with the worker. There the army and navy, diplomats, men in all government employ go to live and they gather from all parts of the union, frequently ending their wives in Washington, leaving their wives and daughters unacustomed to work—in many cases with very meager annuities. If these could get comfortably housed, rent free, in a befitting manner they would get along comfortably enough without the daily struggle of life's battle. This charity would certainly help a woman, and give them a feeling of home and the ability of security which, with the hand-to-mouth existence they must lead. prove a dignified way of throwing to the winds the income of $10,000,000. But if it is used to apply the ax of keen, frank research and vital suggestion to the root of the evil of poverty, dullness, ignorance and vice, it may be the beginning of the end of the slum and whisky perversion of our civilization. The Essential Consideration. "Do you think there is any use in trying to convince people of the correctness of your arguments?" "It isn't necessary," replied the born orator. "They do not care for the correctness of my arguments as much as for the eloquence with which I present them."—Washington Star. "Did you ever try the stock market?" asked the eastern man. "No," answered Broncho Bob. "But its my guess that a deal in stocks would be far too far. I fare. You want to fight shy unless you know the dealer."—Washington Star. Defective Page Knowles Building.

UNCLE SAM AFTER COOKS. But They Mustn't Have Dyspapia Themselves or Wear Glasses. Realizing the awful results of indigestion, Uncle Sam has asked for ten expert cooks, who must be healthy and have good eyesight, to cook for his Indians and his soldiers at Western posts and reservations. Twenty-five young women of this city, who have all the exacting requirements, filed applications for the positions at the United States civil service commission. Despite the alleged independence of the American cook, who is supposed to dictate instead of obey, the applicants answered the following questions: "Are you subject to loss of consciousness?" "Do you wear glasses?" "Are you subject to dizziness?" "What are your past and present habits in the use of alcohol?" "Do you use opium, morphine or any other drug?" "Have you ever had any deformity?" No cook under twenty years old will be considered, as the government believes women under that age have not had sufficient experience to prepare food properly. Their pay will range from $480 to $540 a year, and included board. Nothing is said of a day out in the applications, nor is there any mention of nights when the cook may entertain her friends. — Philadelphia North American. Pecan Orchards in the South. "Just as the people of the North eat peanuts in great quantities so do the people of the South eat pecans," remarked Allan Dupre, a merchant of New Orleans. "On the streets of New Orleans are many venders who sell them in all sorts of ways—shelled, unshellled and in candy form. Peanuts are sold, too, but pecans have a far greater sale. "To meet the demand for them, which is growing, pecan orchards are now being laid out in the bottom lands of the far South. When old timber is cut down pecan trees are planted. Many pecan orchards are gradually growing up. They are of slow growth, requiring from fifteen to twenty years to reach maturity, but they are profitable. The main supply comes from Mexico, some sixty carioides of shelled beans being shipped from there every year, for the most part to be consumed in the South, but in a decade the main supply will come from the Southern states, which will thus gain a new industry."—Washington Post. Poets' Poor Pay. Milton's "Paradise Lost" has its importance in the history of publishing as well as of poetry. We are indignant at the miserable reward which the author received for his work, two payments of £5 each and one of £8 (paid to his widow), making a total of £18 in all for the most famous poem in the English language. But what previous English poem had been made the subject of a formal legal agreement, providing for payments on the publication of each of the first four editions? What English poet had previously earned £18 by a poem, not by a dole from a patron or a gift of a sinecure, but as a matter of business from a publisher?—Cornhill Magazine. Tobacco Smoke Scared Deer. A new way of preventing deer from doing damage to a holding has been adopted by the occupier of Hoddon farm, in the heart of the Devon and Somerset stapound country. Discarding the use of tarred ropes and other strong smelling materials in fences, he walks through his turnip fields, two or three times a night, smoking a strong pipe, the smell of which, he says, frightens the deer away. Before he adopted this device his farm used to be visited by scores of deer nightly. British Ferris Wheel Like the old Ferris wheel of the Columbian exposition days, the great wheel of Earl's court, London, will never revolve again. It is being taken down and the steel in it sent to Wales, where, mixed with pig iron and iron ore, it will be converted into steel bars for tplate make. Biscuit, tobacco and mustard cans will be manufactured from these. The steel of the British warship Montagu will undergo the same fate. Long Lived Goldfinch The longevity of ravens, geese and several other birds is well known, but it does not often fall to the lot of a cage bird to live to a great age. A goldfinch belonging to W. Godwin of Victoria Park, Dorchester, Eng. furnished the exception to the rule by living till it was twenty-two years old. The bird lately died from sheer old age. Extremists All. Batcheller—Well, if I ever do take a wife I'll make it a point to pick out an economical woman. Wiseman—Impossible, my dear boy! There's no such thing as an economical woman.

Dr. Ettore Marchiafava, who succeeded the late Dr. Lapponi as private physician to the pope, was born fifty, two years ago at Civita Vecchia and was principally educated in Rome, where he is now professor of pathological anatomy at the university. He is the discoverer of the malarial parasite and the originator of the scheme by which the Eternal City has been rendered practically free from Roman fever.

The Horsheim SHOE FOR THE MAN WHO CARES STANLEY SHOE COMPANY 422 Nicollet Ave. JGJS FLEET AS THE TRAIN. Turkish Railroads Do Not Make the Most Rapid Time. Ours was not a rapid train and yet when compared with those of the Spanish railways it could not be called slow. In fact, it went as fast as a dog can run. I know this because I tried the experiment. At one of the stations I fed a sleek-looking animal. As the train started he followed and I kept on feeding. The dog kept on running. His eyes were upon my window. Never once did he look to the ground, save when I threw a morsel of chicken or a bone, and even then did slacken his speed. With a slight movement his head would bend, there would be a snap and if a bone or morsel was picked up, well and good; if not, he looked to me for further donations. Every one on the train became interested in the race. From every window Turks held tempting morsels to entice the cur. Mile after mile and still our companion kept pace. The engineer drew his head out of the car and put on extra steam and the dog an extra spurt. Ten miles further on we reached the next station and our dog was with us. Every one was delighted and I have seldom seen a more enthusiastic and promiscuous reception given to any human being. After that it was the sport of every one to tempt the dogs of each station to run races with the train. At one time we had a line of dogs stretching out for miles behind.—Appleton's Magazine. JOKE IS UPON THE LAWYER. He Thinks for a Minute He Has He thinks for a minute He has Brought Confusion on a Witness. A distinguished but conceited advocate not long ago, after securing an unqualified statement from an octogenarian who was bravely enduring cross-examination that he "saw the whole thing as if it had occurred ten feet away," suddenly challenged him to tell the time by the clock referred to. The lawyer himself did not look around, as he had done so about half an hour before, when he noticed that it was half after 11. The old man looked at the clock and replied after a pause: "Half past 11," upon which the lawyer, knowing that it must be nearly 12, turned to the jury and burst into a derisive laugh, exclaiming sarcastically, "That is all," and threw himself back in his seat with an air of having finally annihilated the entire value of the witness's testimony. The distinguished practitioner, however, found himself laughing alone. Presently one of the jury chuckled and in a trice the whole court room was in a roar at the lawyer's expense. The clock had stopped at half-past 11. Boys' Four Seasons. "Spring, summer, autumn and winter; these are the four seasons as the man sees them," said a school teacher a few days ago. "The boy has another way of dividing the year, however, and, while he does not watch the seasons of his year on a calendar above his desk, he never forgets them. His division is marbles, hall, shinney and skating. Marbles come in place of spring, baseball in summer, shinney in the fall and skating in the winter. You can tell what season it is by watching a group of boys at play just as well as by an almanac." Probable Cause of Death. "Goodness me!" exclaimed a man to a companion as they were walking. "Did you ever see such a wretched sight?" and he pointed to a poor, miserable-looking horse that was tolling up the hill in the broiling sun with a heavy load behind it. Suddenly the animal fell and expired. "Well," said one as they ran up, "whatever made it die?" "Can't you see?" cried the other. "Why, the poor beast is so thin that the sun shone through its ribs and set the hay on fire that it had eaten, and the smoke choked it!" Slump of the Honeymoon. They had been married just seven months and nineteen days by the almanac. "To-morrow," she announced, "will be my birthday. What are you going to get for me, George?" "I haven't the least idea, my dear," replied her husband. "I read in last night's paper about a Kansas man who got a second-hand overcoat and $2 for his wife, but I'll probably not be so lucky." What Ailed Him. The village philosopher looked unhappy. "What's the trouble?" asked the village cut-up. "Indigestion," said the philosopher. "I suppose it's the mince pie I indulged in last night." "Mince pie nothing! I know what's the matter with you, and I'm not sorry it hurts, either. You're too full of old saws, you are, and it's no wonder they have turned on you at last." A German newspaper of recent date contains a news item in which a Lienininfanterierregimentstam b ur major and a Hofschauspielhausgarderobea-seherin are the conspicuous figures. These appellations look more formidable than "regimental drum major of infantry" and "wardrobe keeper of the royal theater." Cause for Regret. Black (to Brown)—For goodness' sake, be careful with that gun. You just missed me that time. Brown—Did I, old chap! I'm awfully sorry! CALL FOR LL FOR IT 1920 CLIFFORD A.
