Not Such a Co Not Such a Coward. After All By W. J. HENDERSON. "Harry Vinton, where on earth did you learn to ride a horse?" "Never learned at all," said Harry. "Never learned at all," said Harry, "Can't you see that?" "I should say so. Why, you look like a fish out of water." "Of course I do. A sailor hasn't any business on a horse. But you sent him down to the landing for me to ride up and I got aboard of him and navigated him up here. Say, George, weathering that last turn in the road he lbed with me all standing and I came pretty high going overboard. I came up and my how, that a stunning view this way. I saw down right on the Mohawk's deck and see the old man on the quarter-deck like a big black ant. It's jolly." The Mohawk was an American sloop of war, carrying twelve guns. She was lying at anchor off Spermata Cove, inside of Sandy Hook. She had been detailed by the commodore to look out for a certain British privateer called the Ariel, which had been cruising along the New Jersey and Long Island coasts, keeping the inhabitants in a state of terror. Privateering is out of date now, but in the war of 1812 there was plenty of it. Harry Vinton was a midshipman. There was no Annapolis naval academy those days, and when young gentlemen took to enter the navy to learn to be officer, the listed as midshipmen and learned their profession altogether aboard ship. George Osborne was the son of a banker who did business in New York and spent the summer months at his beautiful country home on the Highlands of Naveskis. The two boys, George and Harry, had gone to school before the latter was sent to sea, and though Harry was the son of rather humble parents the boys had become great friends. So when the Mohawk anchored in Spermata Cove George sent word out to Harry Cove she then asked him toarry Cove she then asked him toarry Cove. Capt Luscomb, the commander, granted the request of the boy for ship liberty and put him in charge of a cutter's crew to row him ashore. "Now, my dad," said the captain, "keep your weather eye lifting. You know there's a man aloft watching the sea all the time for any signs of a suspicious sail. If anything's sighted we will hoist the boat recall and I'll expect you to get on board with all speed, for if we have to get to sea it'll be all hands and the cook, maybe, before we get back." "Aye, aye, sir," said Harry, touching his cap. He jumped into the boat and cried "Shove off!" After a lively pull he was get ashore, where he found a handsome horse waiting for him to ride up the hill, and that is what called forth George's remarks already reported. Harry now noticed that a little distance stood over three or four older boys. Two of them were neighbors sons and the third was a visitor, the son of a wealthy New York merchant. He looked at Harry with an air of disdain. "Perhaps if you can't ride a horse," he said, "you'll play ball." "I'll try," said Harry, with great good nature. The boys went to a level piece of lawn behind the house, and began to play. Harry had not handled a ball for two or three years and had never been much of a player anyhow. The merchant's son, Philip Valence, was disgusted. "I should think sailors ought to be able to play ball," he said. "Why?" asked George. "Because they have such tough, dirty hands." "Why, my hands are not any more dirty than yours!" exclaimed Harry, indignantly. "Oh, really!" ejaculated Philip, haughtily, "I can't think of comparing him to mine." Why not, I like to know?" demeaned Harry, hotly. "Because they are like their owner —coarse and vulgar," said Philip. "Oh, I say!" exclaimed George. Harry was found holding Harry was found holding Phillip's head above water. Harry's was found holding Philp's head above water. Harry's face was pale as he walked up to young Valence and said: "How dare you insult me like that?" "I'm not afraid or your bluster," said Philip. At that moment Harry's gaze, passing over Philp's shoulder, fell upon something that caused him to start. The boat recall was flying at the Mohawk main yardarm. "I must go," said Harry. "I thought you would," said Philip, tainting. "Do you really have to go back?" asked George, who was much disressed by the scene. "A fight!" exclaimed Philp pled gale. "Yes, a fight! That's you know. Come aft and captain know you are aboard. As soon as Capt. Luscanpi he ordered him to go sent a man to conduct him below the water line, where be out of range of shot. was now one to make a dance. The breeze was so warm and sufficient for a fine show on the sea. The bristling Long Island shore in the VOL. 24. NO. 29 "Yes, yes. They're loosing the foretails. Goodbyy." Harry turned and ran down the hill toward the landing place. "You're a coward!" called Philip Valence after him. Harry stopped for a moment, then, clenching his teeth, ran all the faster in the direction in which duty bale him go. The next day the Mohawk was lying at anchor in the same spot. Her hurried departure to sea had been in vain, for it turned out that the suspicious vessel was only an innocent trading brigantine, bound for Philadelphia. So the stoop of war was again riding at a single anchor. Her quarterdecking was spread, for there were visible land and the sun behind Capt. Luscumb had invited some of the residents of the Highlands to visit his ship. Among the guests were George Osborne and Philip Valence, but it was plain that there was a great coolness between them. A great coolness altogether to generous a boy to look with favor upon Philip's ungentlemanlike treatment of Harry. He made an especial point this day of treating the young midshipman with great favor. But the pleasure of the afternoon was suddenly interrupted by a loud cry "Sail吧!"" "Where away?" called the officer of the deck. "To the northward and eastward; a brigantine, sir." "That's what we're looking for!" ex- "How dare you insult me like that?" claimed the captain. The decks were speedily cleared of visitors. Then the anchor was weighed, as the captain cried: "Brace the foretops' aback! Up with the lib. ing," muttered Capt. Luscombe, as he paced the quarter deck. For an hour longer the two vessels held on the starboard track, but the wind shifted a little more to the east ward and the brigantine found herself The Mohawk's head fell off and in another minute she was gliding toward the point of the Hook. As she slipped along the mible crew put the mainsail, topsail, togallants, spanker and flying jib on her. With a hundred hands at work it did not take much effort to man the Harty, midshipman of the foretop, and when he reached the deck after the order to "hay down" he was astonished to see Philip Valence standing near the foot of the mast. "What are you doing here?" asked Harry. "Why didn't you go ashore?" "I didn't know the ship was going to start. I was down stairs looking at the pictures in the cabin." "But didn't you hear them getting the anchor?" "I heard lots of noise, but I didn't know what it was. How should I?" "Well," said Harry, "you can't get ashore now." "Oh, I now mind except that mother will be uneasy. I'm fond of sailing." "But we are chasing that brigantine out yonder and there may be a fight." Philip's head above water. "A fight!" exclaimed Philip, turning pale. "Yes, a fight! That's our business, you know. Come aft and I'll let the captain know you're aboard." As soon as Capt. Lucasb saw Philip he ordered him to go below and sent a man to conduct him to a place below the water line, where he would be out of range of shot. The scene would make a sailor's eye dance. The breacher to the south and had sufficient force to turn up a fine showing of white caps across the sea. The brigantine was off the Long Island shore, in the neighbor "How dare you insult me like that?" THE APPEAL. BOOD of what is now called Rockaway. She had rounded to, lowered her head sails, clawed up her square sails and was riding to a kedge anchor, while a boat went off from the shore. Her commander apparently had plenty of confidence in her speed, for, although the Mohawk must have been plainly visible, he made no movement toward getting under way. The sloop of war dashed the spray aside from her blunt bows in torrents as she plunged over the swells off the point of the Hook. "There they go!" cried Harry in his excitement. It was true. The Mohawk was just clear of the Romer Shoal, the Ariel's forestaysail and jib arose with a celerity which showed that the halyards were well manned. Almost simultaneously the claws of the foresail, foretopsail and foretopgallant were hauled down and the maintopsail was sheted out. The brigantine's head fell off to port, and she started off on an easy bowline to make an offing. The brigantine ran up to windward only far enough to put her on the Mohawk's weather bow. Then she put up her heml, overhauled her lee braces and stood away on precisely the same course as her pursuer. It was now a stern chase, which is proverbially a long one. the Ariel was brought around so that the two broadsides faced each other. At this instant Harry, looking down from the foretop, saw Philip Valencom coming on deck. The horse was gently distracted with fear. His face was deadly pale and his eyes were full of terror. Apparently not knowing what he did, Philip, with his hands over his ears, ran wildly along the deck toward the forecastle, sprang to one side to avoid a falling block, slipped and fell through an open port into the sea between the two vessels. Without a second's hesitation Harry dropped down on the foreyard, ran out to the yard arm and plunged into the ocean. At the very second that the sloop and the brigantine loosed their second broadsides Harry's form was seen shooting down through the smoke and name. "He's gone!" cried old Tom. The two vessels came together, and Capt. Luscomb's voice was heard: "Ready forward with the grappling irons! Boarders away! Follow me, lads!" He sprang over the bulwarks, followed by three-score men, and in ten minutes the fight was over. The privateer was beaten and captured. When order was restored Harry's action was reported to the captain. At once all eyes on the quarterdeck THE PSYCH Mind Suggestion and Eggs—Remark a Pur (By Dorothy Richards) Metuchen, N.

What Metuchen does clair, and what she has a rijjust to justify, is the discovery fact that a hen has a soul—a For this important discern natural history, thanks are to the master of Allinsk. The wind began to freshen and the sea gradually rose. Now and then as the Mohawk swung her bows down into one of the shining green hollows a dash of spray would fly over the weather bow. "That's the sort of thing that'll bring us close," said old Tom. "We can outfoot a light craft like that in a sea-way." "We're gaining a little; we're go- ing," muttered Capt. Luscombe, as he paced the quarter deck. For an hour longer the two vessels held on the starboard track, but the wind shifted a little more to the eastward and the brigantine found herself running uncomfortably close to the Long Island shore. Suddenly she luffed and her head salts were seen to shake. "She's going about!" exclaimed Harry. The next instant the roar of the sailing master's voice was heard from the deck below. "Ready about! Down with your helm!" "Helm's a-lee!" sung out the man at the wheel. "Raise tacks and sheets!" bawled the master. "Shorten the main lee tack! Haul taut! Mainsail haul! Man the head breeches! Let go and haul! Right the helm! Haul taut lifts and weather braces! Stead out the bowlines! Mind your luff there!" A great rattling of blocks and thundering of flapping canvas followed as the sloop came up to the wind, and then the steady music of the wind resumed its flow as she settled down the port tack. The two vessels were now meeting the grain on, and the Mohawk began to gain perceptibly. In half an hour the gain eldently alarmed the commander of the Ariel, for he went about again, followed, of course, by the Mohawk. "Try the swivel on her, Garnet," said Capt. Luscomb. "Aye, aye, sir!" was the answer. There was a heavy report, followed by a cloud of smoke. The next moment the maintopsail of the brigantine was seen futtering wildly in the wind. "Try her again!" called the captain. The boatwain's mate again sighted the ship's wake; it was more successful. His shot out the throat halyards of the Ariel's mainmast and down came the jaws of her gaff. "She can't mend that in a minute!" exclaimed Harry. The brigantine made no attempt to run further. She immediately prepared for action. Her gun ports were opened and her guns ran out. At the same instant the drum on the Mahawk beat to quarters and the men went to their fighting stations. "Silence! Cast loose and provide!" ordered the captain. A few minutes later the guns were all loaded and ready for action. Capt. Luscombe endeavored to run under the Ariel's stern, but a skillful movement of the latter's helm brought the two broadside. Simultaneously the great sheets of gun shot out from her ships and the air was rent by the bellows of the guns, the crashing of timestones and the shrieks of the wounded. Capt. Luscombe again brought his ship to the wind and attempted to pass under the Ariel's stern and rake her, but swat the Ariel was brought around so that the two broadsides faced each other. At this instant Harry, looking down from the foretop, saw Phil Valence coming on deck. The boy was evidently distracted with fear. His face was deadly pale and his eyes were full of terror. Apparently not knowing what he did, Philip, with his hands over his ears, ran wildly along the deck toward the forecastle, sprang to one side to avoid a falling block, slipped and fell through an open port into the sea between the two vessels. Without a second's hesitation Harry dropped down on the foreward, ran out to the yard arm and plunged into the ocean. At the very second that the sloop and the brigantine loosed their second broadsides Harry's form was seen shooting downward through the smoke and name. "He's gone!" cried old Tom. The two vessels came together, and Capt. Luscomby voice was the heard: Luscomby with the boards away! Follow me, lads! He sprang over the builkens, followed by three-score men, and in ten minutes the fight was over. The privateer was beaten and captured. When order was restored Harry's action was reported to the captain. At once all eyes on the quarterdeck searched the ocean in hopes the boy might be still afloat. "What's that off to port quarter?" asked the captain. "That looks like a man clinging to a piece of wreckage! Send a boat at once!" Harry was found holding Philip's head above water with his right arm, while with his left he kept himself and his burden afloat by embracing a piece of the Ariel's flying jibboon, which had been shot away. He fainted as soon as he was taken into the boat. When he recovered he found himself in a bunk in the slack bay aboard the Mohawk, with Philip Valence sitting beside him. "I want to beg your pardon," said Philip, tearfully. "It is I who am a coward. You are a brave fellow and you saved my life." "And I'm right glad of it," said Harry, holding out his hand. CURIOUS HOTEL CUSTOMS. Where Every Cuss Word Costs a Penny—A Drink for Church Attendants. A curious custom prevails at an Edinburgh hotel. Whenever a customer is heard to swear he is required to place a penny in a box on the bar counter. It is not a matter for surprise that the landlord ignars much less bad language than some of his fellow publicans is the capital of Scotland. The following is a quaint idea for providing funds for picnics and social evenings. It is carried on with much success at an Ashton-on-Mersey inn. A "knocking club" is connected with the inn, and when a customer calls for refreshment he is expected to knock on the table or counter before drinking. If he fails to do this he is fined one penny. Any one who wrongfully accuses another of breaking this unique rule is also fined. The money thus obtained provides funds for many enjoyable outings and pleasant evenings during the course of the year. At another hotel, known as the Old Hundred, customers are allowed only one drink. If one is not sufficient to quench their thirst they are obliged to go out of the hotel and take a walk before they are allowed to have another. The recently the proprietor of an old-time hotel in Warwickshire used to invite all his customers to accompany him and his wife to the service at the parish church on Sunday mornings, which was situated on the opposite side of the house being closed while they were returning each customer was invited to partake of refreshments offered by the hospital landfree fund of charges Visitors to a certain hotel in Aberdeenshire who wear brown boots must remember to keep them in their room over night. Otherwise the boots will be blacked, regardless of the original color of the same. In one of the rooms of a Dumfries public house is an old armchair which is said to have been frequently used by the poet Burns. All who sit in this chair are expected to treat every one who is in the room at the time, and often the immortal memory of the fandous Scottish national poet is drunk. A small hotel in Wales until quite recently was used by the Catholics as a place of worship on Sundays, and police court proceedings were held on the promises during the week. How Emporor William Rests. It seems that the German emperor is in the habit of having a slight meat every two hours. His incessant activity makes this necessary, and his example is followed by most of his suite, who would otherwise be unable to do all that is demanded of them. The empress also, when the emperor is "on parade," has frequent refreshment during the day. The kaiser also keeps two hours of the day, when possible, to rest; from 2 to 4 o'clock he is not to be disturbed when at home. Otherwise he is the entire day occupied either with business or pleasure. He retires to rest late and is up again the next morning at 5 o'clock. Had a Relapse.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE HEN Mind Suggestion and Its Benign Influence on Incubator Eggs—Remarkable Effect of Good Music on a Pullet's Sense of Duty. FREQUENTLY THERE ARE BITTER QUARRELS AS TO WHO SHALL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF LAYING HER EGG FIRST (By Dorothy Richardson.) Metuchen, N. J., for years famed as the home of Mary E. Wilkus-Freeman, is destined to still another distinction, which distinction is nothing more nor less than the fact that here of all places on the face of the earth there should be discovered and preved beyond the peradventure of a doubt a most remarkable circumstance regarding the hen. At first blush this statement might be construed as meaning that Metuchen, N. J. were laying claim to being the original habitat of the hen. But it is nothing of the sort. What Metuchen does claim, however, and what she has a right most justly to claim, is the discovery of the fact that a hen has a soul—a hen. For this important discovery in nature, thanks are due solely to the master's work, which hawks is one of the largest and probably the best equipped chicken farms in New Jersey. Here, as probably nowhere else, is science applied in as many directions toward the breeding and raising of chickens with the result of a number of discoveries hitherto undreamed. For instance, whoever dared to conceive of the possibility of a chicken being taught numerical values? Who had the hardship to suppose a chicken might be able to differentiate musical notes? that it might be easy for languages, as well as a fairly well known form of articulate sounds of its own? What gentle lover of birds and beasts might have predicted of this latest romantic and most practical bird the unmistakable evidences of a self-sacrifice and a heroism almost human in their purpose? And yet all these things have taken place and are to-day taking place at Alnswack. The results of investigation and experiment in the incubator collars and brooder houses, as well as in the up-to-date quarters of the establishment, are maintained in this establishment, as this erstwhile proxie and interesting fowl upon a pinnacle of absorbing fascination rivaling that of the more poetic bee. To obtain the best results and the greatest profits from chickens they must be "talked to and reasoned with," declares the master of Alnawsk. "The chickens on my farm are all treated not as dumb creatures, but as intelligent, reasoning entities and my experience proves to me that you cannot begin this system of discipline too soon." In accordance with this theory, therefore, the man who "sets" the incubator repeats over and over again as he arranges the eggs therein an abracadabra that runs something like this: In twenty-one days each and every one of you will emerge from your shells a strong and healthy chick. Each and every one of you even now represent a spark of life. Nothing can prevent your development. No harm can come to you. During the twenty-eight days required for incubation the attendant never fails to talk quietly to the eggs during such time as he is engaged in the various processes of "turning," "cooking," etc., the gist of his remarks being always the thought that nothing can prevent or hinder the development of the embryo chicken with each shell. The result is that when finally on the twenty-first day, the 424 down little chick's break through their shells which they do simultaneously they seem actually to be acquainted with the particular attendant who for three weeks has been addressing them over the great gulf of the infinite. This remarkable phenomenon has been observed over and over again." FREQUENTLY THERE ARE BITT HAVE THE PRIVILEGE Cigar Names. It would be more in accordance with British honor and British dignity if there were no further bargaining with Cuban competitors for the use of a single Spanish word. English is a far nobler language than Spanish, and If English cigars are to be recognized as the product of a British industry let them be known of all men by British names and British words indicating, size, color, etc., and let every cigar band and every box have the words "British made." THE MASTER OF AINSAWAK FIDDLING TO HIS HENS. declares the master of Alinswack. "Indeed we have tested the thing out, so as to prove that we are deceiving ourselves. And this is the way we have proved it: When the day came for the chickens to 'pip' or break through the shell we have removed the particular attendant who during the three weeks of incubation had watched over and talked to them. In the place of this regular attendant we have substituted another man and had him address the downy little multitude. With what result? Well, it may sound very absurd, but the actual fact is that the poor little creatures are frightened almost to death at the sound of a strange voice. "But in the midst of this panic and confusion let their regular attendant come into the door cellar and speak to them—the man who has been addressing them for twenty-one days, and what do they do? Why instantly their terror vanishes, and they turn instinctively toward the direction whence his voice comes. In a moment they are 'cheeping' contentedly, and they continue to flourish in the greatest happiness so long as no alien hand or voice is inflicted upon them." There are no diseases and no deaths save by deliberate decapitation for the pot, among the chickens at Alinswack. The reasons assigned for this remarkable record are again to be catalogued under the mysterious term "deceiving." And now the work of the psychological training of chickens begins in earnest. Always they are talked to, with the result that the pullets begin laying eggs a little less than five months old. THE MASTER OF AINSAWAK One of the most interesting things for the visitor at Alinsawak is to watch the habits of the hens in the trap nest house. Under the latter system, when a hen goes to her nest to lay an egg the front door of her nest drops to after her, and she cannot get out until her egg nicely tucked away in the straw, the attendant comes and releases her after looking at the numbered bracelet on her ankle and recording the important fact that No. So-and-So laid an egg on that particu- ER QUARRELS A8 TO WHO SHALL OF LAYING HER EGG FIRST.

The trap nests are built in tiers two deep, and completely surround the big sunshine room. Now, every nest is identically alike every other inside, but nevertheless most of the hens have prejudices in favor of some particular nest, and though others may be vacant these hens will wait patiently until their favorite birth is vacated. Indeed it is not an unusual thing to see more than 100 hens crowding around and waiting for vacancies. In this same house there was also to be a most unusual phenomenon in natural history, this being nothing more nor less than a "sitting" rooster. NOTHING WOULD DO BUT HE MUST HAVE A NEST FULL OF EGGS TO SIT ON. And finally, and perhaps the most remarkable of all the many remarkable practices and customs at Alm-sawak, are the rainy day concocts held there. On rainy days, as any one knows who has observed the ways of poultry, chickens are never so lively as they are accustomed to being on bright sunshine days and where rainy weather is protracted for any length FIDDLING TO HIS HENS. of time there is always a diminution in the egg supply. This is due solely to the depressing effect of the rain upon chicken spirits, and the wise poultry raiser knows full well that to obtain the best results from hens the great essential is that the hens shall be happy. And so every wet day the master of Alinsaw, who happens fortunately to be an excellent amateur musician, draws his old Amati out of its coffin-like case and betakes himself to the hen houses. The effect of the music upon the dull and silent birds is magical. No sooner has the violinist drawn his bow across the strings than every hen has shaken her feathers, cocked her head on one side and is listening intently, her beady-eyes fixed in wondering gratitude upon the performer. A Forest of Stone in Australia **Stone in Australia.** In Albany, in Australia, is to be seen a stone forest—in other words, petrified trees. The trees are gray stone. It is suggested as an explanation of the strange phenomenon that in the depths of past ages the forest was in full vegetation, and then through some upheaval of the earth it was buried in sand. Little by little the water acting on the sand penetrated the branches and solidified. The branches gradually disappeared under the layer of stone and in time took its form. Then the winds again carried away the sand, and the forest appeared anew, but of stone.

"The Negroes will continue to be a source of irritation and friction and riot in proportion to the number of illiterate white people among us. Whatever of opposition there is to the Negro in the South is found among uneducated people. The educated classes owned the Negro before the war, and they were then, and continue to be, his best friends. The Negroes understand them and they understand the Negro. Education of the white people as the solution of the so-called Negro problem." The foregoing is an extract from an address before the educational society of the Methodist Church South, by Dr. Lee, of Atlanta, and it contains a large amount of truth. But the opposition referred to is encouraged and stimulated by men of the educated class for political purposes, as illustrated by the late campaign in Georgia and Tennessee. In the former, Hoax Smith fairly raved over "Negro domination, and in the latter, Carmack closely followed his pernicious example.

THE HISSING OF JEFF DAVIS. In commenting upon the hissing of Jeff Davis by the Arkansas Democratic State Convention, the Chicago Tribune remarks: "It has been most unfortunate for the south that it is burdened with alleged statesmen of the Jeff Davis type. One after another they have forced themselves into the limelight to the shame of a great section of the country. No state had had a monopoly of the blatant, vociferous, eccentric demogogues who have depended upon extravagant language and startling methods to give them a notoriety constituting their only stock in trade." But the Tribune does not go back to the source of the evil, and it remains for the Appeal to go behind the returns. The source of the evil, the hot-bed which breeds statesmen of the Jeff Davis type is the fearful and wonderful ignorance of the Southern electorate and the fact that the brawling demagogues of the Davis type have used that element to "down" the brainy aristocrats of the south. Jeff Davis paid little attention to the river bottom counties of the state; but up in the mountain sections, he was more numerous and pestilential than the flies of Egypt. The Democratic State Convention was a gathering of "high-collared roosters" whom Jeff has been laboring ever since he began his meteoric career. But for that class of men to have an opportunity to retaliate upon the Jeff Davises is a very rare thing. In the death of E. E. Cooper in Washington, D.

The Ninth Annual meeting of the National Afro-American Business League is to be held in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19th, 20th and 21st, 1908. The day sessions of the League will be held in the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church. All of the night sessions are to be held in Richmond Market Hall, formerly used by the Crack Fifth Regiment of Baltimore and recently by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church Richmond Market Hall is one of the satisfactory assembly rooms in the wharf of Baltimore. The League is indebted to the Baltimore Business League, of which Mr. Harry T. Pratt is President, for securing this splendid hall for the use of the League. His Honor, Mayor J. Barry Mahool, aided the Baltimore League in having this hall secured for the meetings. The far-reaching influence of tac National Business League assures an attendance at Baltimore second to that of no former session of the organization. Reduced rates will be secured from almost every section of the country. It is altogether possible, however, for groups of individuals coming from such centers as Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Nashville, Littles Rock, Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis, Kansas City, and other cities to secure such special excursion rates as are being offered to Washing- FREDERICK "The Republican Party Is th ton, Baltimore, New York and Atlantic City. By arranging for stop-over privileges, delegates will be enabled to make the trip to Baltimore at an expense lower than the usual one and one-third rate, and at the same time visit the National Capital. Delegates are especially urged to begin making arrangements at once for special Pullman and Coach accommodations to Baltimore. If delegations are organized in each of the states they can arrange for special Pullman and other accommodations, securing privacy, comfort and congenial companionship en route. Local Business Leagues are urged to begin electing their delegates at once. The names of all delegates thus selected should be added to the Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Mr. C, F. Adams, 934 S Street, N. W. Washington, D. C., will be pleased to co-operate in any way possible with city or state delegations in making transportation arrangements.

"And when," said Mrs. Nuvoreesh, "those French pheasants came by singing the Mayonnaise it was too deeply touching for words." And Cantaloupe Too—A Sign of the Increased Cost of Living *Increased Cost of Living.* "Now when I was a boy," began the Brooklyn man in the approved reminiscent manner, "the family cat worked for its living by rustling for mice, or if mice were scarce got a dole of milk and maybe liver occasionally. There was no pampering to fancy tastes. "It may be but another example of the increased cost of living, but it shocked me the other night to find my wife feeding our cat asparagus. It was a new thing to me to see a cat eat asparagus. "Asparagus is rather a luxury for humans, and as for cats—well, it must be a foretaste of the cat heaven if there is one. Now Pompey—that's the cat's name—didn't eat asparagus voraciously, as you would expect, but daintly. My wife would hold out a stalk and he would bit off a piece and swallow it and then another bite and so on until he got to the hard end, when he stopped and looked inquiringly for a fresh stalk to come. "He got it, too. In fact, I saw him eat five, all that remained of the family dinner. It was lucky for the cook that she doesn't like asparagus. "My wife thought it was so cute of Pompey. Yes, and she had discovered that he ate cantaloup and that was cute of him too. She gave him a piece as a chaser for the asparagus and he nibbled out the edible part with a twinkle in his eye that showed he enjoyed it. I am wondering what taste he will develop next." He Obeyed Orders A ranchman living in that locality noticed a small bunch of teal that were in the habit of using a pond not far from his dwelling. He requested Legrand to try his luck with them the next morning when they could be easily found. Legrand, however, was short of ammunition, so the ranchman gave him a shell, which he jokingly remarked was enough for a good shot, and he expected him to come back with the whole bunch, numbering six. On the ensuing day Legrand departed before sunrise, but returned to breakfast empty handed. "No ducks, Legrand?" He shook his DOUGLASS. The Ship, All Else the Sea." near: "No ducks." The next morning the result was the same. "No ducks, Legrand?" "No ducks." The third morning a shot was heard. Legrand returned with three beautiful blue winged teal hanging from each shoulder. "Legrand, how did you manage to have so much luck all of a sudden when you were not able to get anything the two preceding mornings? "To-day," he replied, "was the first time I could get them lined up so that I could bag them all at one shot." A Call to Arms of Peace Six weeks ago some one said something about the unemployed. One day last week Free Employment Agent Gerow at Topeka blew the dinner horn for 20,000 men and 1,500 teams to take care of the approaching wheat harvest. Within two weeks the harvest will begin down about Wichita. Then Mr. Gerow in all probability will blow the horn for another 20,000. A man and team can get $5 a day at the drop of a hat. If there is really an "army of the unemployed" it would do well to communicate with Free Employment Agent Gerow of Topeka, Kan., by the first post—if it wants work. Water, looked upon as the tamest of liquids, is as great an explosive as dynamite under certain conditions. In one day water breaks up more earth and rock than all the gunpowder, guncotion and dynamite in the world do in a year. These explosives can be controlled by human agency, but water does not hold itself accountable to man. It runs into the ground, freezes, expands and splits the soil into little pieces. Finding a crack in a huge rock it repeats the same process, forcing it asunder. If frozen in the pores of a tree it often explodes with a report like a gunshot and the force of a dynamite bomb. To Turn England From Tea to Coffee The state of Sao Paulo, in Brazil, troubled by an overproduction of coffee, has had a company organized to conduct a propaganda on behalf of coffee drinking in Europe. It will be directed against England especially, which is given to tea rather than coffee. In London the coffee houses which so flourished in the eighteenth century have become tea houses, but it is probably not an imposing task to turn them back to coffee again. ```markdown ``` An unsectarian Christian Institution, devoted especially to advanced education, College, Normal, College Preparatory and English High School courses, with Industrial Training.

Monday night the church, together with its many friends, will tender the Bishop and the visiting ministers a gift of flowers. The large, spacious addition, so well fitted and equipped for such a purpose, will be the scene of the reception, where all will be served. TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN. A Few Words in Behalf of One of the Best of Our Business Enterprises. If the good people of St. Paul were fully aware of what they have in this city, in the Kendrick Hotel and Cafe, near Jackson and Third streets, diagonally opposite the Merchants Hotel, they would probably pay more attention to this enterprise. There has never been anything like it in Paul before. The Hotel has 100 apartments and 400 rooms at moderate prices for accommodations. The Cafe is unquestionably the largest and best the city has ever had, with a service that cannot be surpassed at the prices charged. The Sunday menu is published every week in THE APPEAL and a perusal of it will convince the most skeptical that one can get his money's worth. But this magnificent dishhouse does not receive payment it should have progressive proprietor should lose his faith in the people, which prompted him to invest a large sum of money to give them something they never had before, they have only themselves to blame. And, should he decide to close his doors, no other such a place will be opened for the accommodation of Afro-Americans. You know you miss Good Luck, you do not. Let this good thing be gone from you because you carelessly fail to patronize it. Wake up, you folks who have not visited this nice, clean, orderly, well-conducted place and investigate for yourselves. U. B. F. and S. M. T. Miss Viola Berry, District Deputy, leaves tonight for Duluth for the purpose of organizing clubs for a Lodge and Temple. In response to the proclamation of the Grand Master there was a fair rehearsal for the Temples present at the meeting at his office last Wednesday evening and the details for the grand annual outing were in a measure mapped out. The general arrangements committee is to be composed of a representation from each Lodge and Temple. The general committee consists of three members from each Lodge and Temple. The reception committee will consist of five members from each Lodge and Temple. All members are to wear badges. And all members of the reception committee are to appear in evening dress, as it is intended to make this the swellest boat excursion that was ever taken out of St. Paul. Owing to the large membership only a limited number of invitations can be extended to persons not members of the order, and the members will govern themselves accordingly. As this excursion is the authorized annual outing of the order each member of the order will be responsible for only one ticket. However, such friends of the members that they may desire to be invited will be taken care of as far as the capacity of the boat and barge will allow. Bear in mind that there are 319 members of this order and they are to be cared for first. Tickets, 50 cents; children under 12 years, 25 cents. A full brass band, the best of music, will accompany the excursion. The committee of arrangements and committee on refreshments are called to meet at the office of the Grand Master on next Wednesday evening promptly at 8 and a full attendance is desired. Such presiding officers of Lodges and Temples that have not made the appointments upon the arrangements are commanded to do so at once and have the representatives present at the meeting Wednesday evening. Get busy. --- Golden Gate Temple, Juveniles, entertained Little Pilgrim Temple Temple Juveniles of Minneapolis, on last Saturday afternoon, at Wagner Hall.

Instruction given on the piano at the residences or patrons, or at 575 W. Central Ave. Prof. W. A. Weir. And So Did What He Could to Add to the Driver's Exasperation. The pedestrian and the driver have ever been at odds. Each thinks the other is encroaching on his rights, as doubtless they ever will think, and so there is no love lost between them. Here was a light delivery wagon with a young man driver coming around a corner, while crossing the street into which the wagon was turning was a boy. And the boy was not looking out, and he would have walked right into the horse's head if the driver hadn't savaged; he rolled to him "Hey!" and held his horse up to shine. Hold up so the horse sagged back in the harness and that threw the front ends of the shafts up, and then the boy, who had never looked up nor swerved in his course in the slightest degree, walked calmly ahead on under the ends of the uplifted shafts and under the horse's neck, while the driver glared at him and followed him with words in concentrated form intended to show his deepest and bitterest contempt. And the boy? He never looked back nor turned around, but just kept his way coolly, ignoring the driver as completely as if he had never been there. He was only any wonder that the feud keeps up when boys treat the driver so. WINDOW DEMONSTRATIONS. The Very Latest, in Which Use Is Made of a Plaster Foot. For the latest thing in the way of window demonstrations there is used a plaster cast of a foot, of a big foot, one that would be suitable for the understanding of a man about twelve feet high, this foot resting on the top of a low pedestal in the window. The demonstrator, a young woman, sits in a chair alongside it, all right, except that it has a few corns and bunions on the toes and joints; and the object of the demonstration is to show how easily, with the cure here exploited, these can be removed. With the tip of a finger the demon strator rubs a little of the cure, a salve, on each of the corns and bumps, and then places on each a little plaster. And then she hangs on the pedestal in front of the foot a succession of placards extolling the merits of the cure, and then she holds up a box of the same to view. And then she lifts the plaster foot up to bring into view the sole, whereen is painted a laughing face; even the plaster foot is rejoicing over the efficacy of the corn cure. Then the demonstrator puts the foot down again, and repeats the dem onstation, and so on indefinitely. Botany to Rescue of Shipwrecked. "There is no reason, save ignorance, why shipwrecked sailors die in their open boats of starvation." is a potlatch. "Let the shipwrecked include a light net in their luggage," he said, "and let them trail this net behind them as they sail or row upon the sea's surface. Every few hours they can haul in and take from it a meal of small shellfish or other tiny sea fruit. "Everywhere the sea's surface teems with animal and vegetable matter o v pable of sustaining life." A Profit, Anyhow. He was filing his first prescription, and when he handed it to the lady he told her it was $1.10. She paid the $1.10, and after she had gone he informed the proprietor that the dollar was counterfeit. The proprietor looked over his glasses at the young man and said: "Well, how about the 10 cents—is the good money?" The young man answered in the affirmative: "Oh, well," the proprietor replied, "that's not so bad—we still make a nickel." Feathered Idleness. Little Margle on her first visit to a farm was told to wander about the barn and search for eggs. Some time later the child returned almost in tears. "You don't find any eggs, doesn't?" asked her mother. "No," replied her mother. "I think it's mean, too, 'cause lots of hens are standing around doing nothing." Coguetry as a Tonic. When a woman becomes wholly indifferent to her personal appearance, when she is no longer susceptible to some form of flippery, one may take it that she has entirely lost her reason. To practice coquetry one need not necessarily flirt; but coquet in some form one must, if one is to keep a rightly balanced mind. Few Cases of Premature Burial. Cases of simulated death are few. Of the recorded instances of premature birth the vast majority are wholly due to formation are wanting in substitution by the only evidence worthy of credence—that of a qualified medical man. Her, Hope, "I suppose you hope your boy will grow up to be president, some day?" "Yes," replied the fond mother, "of some insurance company or one of the Harriman lines." A Common Mistake. It often happens that what is merely a habit is mistaken for a doctrine. The wearing of livery by male servants is a survival of the times when great lords kept huge bands of men servants, called retainers, who were bound to fight in all the quarrels of their masters, as well as perform service of one sort or another, and on special occasions of show, dressed in the livery of their lord, became in reality a miniature army.

Newton, a Chicago railroad man on the Chicago & Alton road put on the first dining car ever operated on any railway train in the world. This was on the run between Chicago and St. Louis. If that car could be exhibited now it would be universal merriment. It had oilcloth table covers, the seats were screwed to the floor, and its illumination depended on candles. "Think of the contrast between that primitive affair of 1868 and the modern dining car, finished in solid manoghay, with gorgeous furniture, and a menu as elaborate and cooking as dainty as that supplied by any of the foremost hotels of America. Verily, we have been 'going some' in the four decades that have gone by since the Alton's first crude experiment." The Girl Was Not Afraid After two men had failed to do it, owing to lack of nerve, Miss Ellie Moody of Ruport, near here, to-day climbed an eighty-foot slender ladder to a windwheel and repaired the wheel. It was out of order, and her father sent his gardeners to fix it. Each climbed about half way up when they lost heart and descended, the high wind shaking the ladder so badly they were frightened. Miss Moody, who saw them, pushed them aside, daringly climbed the slender ladder herself and calmly descended, cheered by a large number of people who-witnessed her feat. No Doubt on That Point. At school during the nature study hour one of the brightest little fellows in his class was asked by the teacher to name three cold blooded animals. After a moment's hesitation he said, "A polar bear, a walrus and a seal." The teacher smiled and said, "Johnny, this time you did not get it quite right, but perhaps you can tell me three minerals." "Oh, yes," came the quick reply, "vichy, seltzer and ginger ale." A Tragedy. The blue sea glittered in the spring sunshine. "Dear, if you refuse me," he groaned, kneeling before her on the white sand, "if you refuse me I shall die." The beautiful but heartless coquette refused him. That happened during the Easter holidays of 1846, and yesterday, true to his word, he passed away. Herman Kuth and Harry Kuhman captured a sea gull at Swift Run lake here to-day. The bird was wounded and could not fly, and the boys caught it in the water by means of a boat. It put up a stiff fight. The gull stands eighteen inches high and measures thirty-six inches from tip to tip. Such birds were never known to be this far inland before. Shot the Oldest Eagle. A golden eagle, supposed to be the oldest ever captured in this locality, was shot by George Bates in the Crow Creek district. From the tail feathers of the bird and other characteristics Curator Adams of the state normal school believes the bird at least seventy-five years old. It measured over six feet from tip to tip, and will be mounted. Turks Objected to Horses' Names. The horses belonging to the late British ambassador at Constantinople, Sir Nicholas O'Conor, have been sold by auction. The usual notice was put in the local press, but the censor took exception, as there were horses in the list with the names Pasha, Selim and Sarou, which he considered was offensive to Turks, and the list had to appear without the names.
