TRICKED BY WOMEN Mesmeric Power Exerted by Some Feminine Swindlers. Temptations That Beset a Poor Girl Who Is Anxious to Shine in a Class Above Her Station. London.—"Five years' penal servitude!" In the dock stood an old woman, somewhat shabby dressed and coarse featured, in such a state of collapse that a couple of wardresses stood beside her to support her if necessary. Beside her was a tall, silm, attractive looking young lady, with a pale, refined face and large, dark eyes. They were the Charlesworths. The young woman was the heroine of the romantic, motor car mystery—the girl who was to have a huge fortune come to her, the girl who had deceived so many and extracted thousands of pounds from her victims' pockets. "low," people asked one another as they sat in court and heard the recital of the frauds, "could any one have believed such absurd stories?" According to Williamson, the one-time chief of Secret Ward, the woman swindler often seems to possess a species of mesmeric influence which renders her victims blind and deaf to all that might warn them. Coarse featured, squat in figure, vulgar in speech and manner. Mme. Hum- They Were the Charlesworths. bert twiddled scores of the keenest men in Paris around her fat, jeweled fingers and made them believe in millions lying locked up in a safe in her rooms. New York financiers were, in their turn, victimized by a lady who was a rival of Mme. Humbert. For years she passed herself off as a niece of Andrew Carnegie and defrauded scores of the "cutest" financial lights of New York on the strength of a bogus million pounds' worth of securities placed in a sealed envelope. None ever questioned the representations of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick. A letter to Mr. Carnegie would have shattered the bubble at once, but one no one dreamed of writing to him. She would become a swinder arises when the girl of humble origin appears to be above her class. It occurs to her that she can weave a little romance about it, and she proceeds to do so. Perhaps it is innocent enough at first—just a little story that she has gained the affections of some gentleman of high position and wealth. She assures her friends that they by no means know all about her. If these stories work satisfactorily, and she is of dishonest disposition, she later on proceeds to turn the stories to account. The daughter of a joiner, a short time since, was found guilty of frauds committed in the character of a countenance. The daughter of a cathedral cleaner in a masseuse as a German princess. Another bogus peesess was the widow of a shirtmaker and another was a seulery maid. One of the most notorious woman swindlers, when the judge in sentencing her remarked that men had, no doubt, fallen easy victims to her balishdishments and artifices, interrupted him with the remark that she had only swindled men because they happened to be generally better off when women could not be an believer anything, but she scorned to take advantage of people who were handicapped in making money. Mrs. Chadwick—already referred to—one day raising a loan of several thousand pounds, handed to a banker a sealed packet, which she represented contained securities for much more than the money she needed, but it was not to be捞. The banker suddenly made a gesture as if he disbelieved her statement and was about to tear the packet open. If he did so he would discover the fraud at once and give her into custody. His eyes were on her. She never changed color or showed the slightest embarrassment or uneasiness. Raising one of her glove fingers, she told him playfully, “Do it,” she said, “and I will never speak to you again.” And he laid the packet down unopened. Italy produces yearly 70,000,000 gallons of olive oil worth $120,000,000. TOLL HOUSE STILL STANDS Building in East Braintree, Boston, Was Used Many Years Ago as Collecting Station. Boston.-The old toll house in East Braintree, on the south bank of Fore river, is one of the few structures of the kind which are still standing in the territory of greater Boston. A ferry was established at this point at a date which corresponds with the first settlement of Braintree. Charles Francis Adams has said that Toll House at East Braintree. the rate of carriage was "a penny for each person and three pence for each horse." Another local historian has left a record "that near the Fore river stood the toll house where the singers met. Here the toll keeper lived, had his house rent free, was paid a small salary, and opened the gates so that one could pass through upon paying fourpence or six and one-quarter cents. He also hoisted the draw for the craft that went up and down the river." HEDGING ABOUT YOUNG FOLKS Freedom of the Library Not a Good Thing to Do in Rising Generation. A recent writer, in referring to the traditionally divergent attitudes of the English-speaking and the continental worlds toward literary reticence, has said that in England and America it has been the custom to tie up literature in order to give young people the freedom of the library, while elsewhere it has been customary to turn literature loose and to tie up the young. The result, he adds, is that we have developed coincidence to turn literature loose and to tie up the young. They are a precedence literature insidgled young people. Which is a wily summing up of a tangled situation. Unhappily, like the man and wife who respectively preferred cotton and linen sheets and who, after much ammonious argument, "compromised" on cotton, in America seem to be by the way of granting a certain liberty to literature without placing a corresponding restraint upon the browsing of the immature. And we are thus creating a problem with which every commentator upon current literature himself is faced, upon whom—the writer, the critic, or the parent—rests the responsibility of safeguarding the reading of the young? Personally, it seems to me that there is but one answer: that the responsibility for the physical diet of childhood and for the intellectual diet of adolescence rests upon the same shoulders; that there is no more reason for turning a girl of 15 loose in a public library than for giving a boy of seven the run of the jam and medicine chest; no more excuse, in a family with halfgrown members, for leaving adult texture on the sitting-room table than for razors on the nursery floor at an easel or the same family's development.—From an article in Everybody's Magazine. She Was an Innocent Victim She was an Innocent Victim. Everyone in that part of the car smiled except the man who did it and the girl who was under the hat. He wouldn't let himself, and she did not know anything about it. He was a plain, quiet man, apparently of the high class, and young and pretty and had one of the enormous nets, with correspondingly enormous pins stuck in at various angles. She was in one of the cross seats and he was standing behind her. Without moving a muscle of his face he drew from his pocket a folding foctrule, carefully measured the expanse of the brim and let every one around see that it was full 35 inches. Then he laid the ruler along the projecting end of a hatpin and beyond the crown. The unconscious gave proof that it reached 5½ inches owner of the creation looked up with a puzzled little frown as her seatmate suddenly doubled over in mirth. Plant Societies. The science of botany has been greatly advanced-by the development of what may be called the sociology of plants—that is, the study of their relations to one another as well as their adjustments to surroundings. Botanists recognize that plants are not scattered, haphazard over the globe, but are organized into definite communities. A plain has its plant society, all the members of which fall into their proper places. A swamp forest consists of trees possessing a certain social relationship and differing from the others in some way. There is progression from one social organization of plants to another. A lily pond may give place to a swamp shrubs, and this again to a swamp forest of tamarack, plains and hemlock. So societies of plants on dry land succeed one another as the conditions change.

It was an Italian workman, operating under a British engineer in the employ of an Anglo-American firm, and carrying to fruition the project of two Chilean brothers, who placed the fuse for the demolition of the rocky barrier and opened the path through which in the opinion of a leading journal of the United States to change political relations in South America and commercial conditions throughout the world." It was an Italian workman, operating under a British engineer in the employ of an Anglo-American firm, and carrying to fruition the project of two Chilean brothers, who placed the fuse for the demolition of the rocky barrier and opened up a line of communication which, in the opinion of a leading journal of the United States, "is likely to change political relations in South America and commercial conditions throughout the world." The workman was the chief of the Argentine section of workmen followed by 80 of his operatives (mostly Chileans), who returned to their native land with banners flying and cries of victory. From the capitals of Chile and the Argentine Republic functionaries and private individuals journeyed to be present at this last act in an undertaking which has engaged the talents of a succession of engineers and financiers since 1860 and which, upon completion, will take rank with the great Alpine tunnels. Fifty years ago the North American captain of industry, William Wheelwright, prepared a tentative plan for crossing the continent from Rosario in the Argentine Republic to the Chilean port of Tierra, over the Pass of San Francisco.

Fifty years ago the North American captain of industry, William Wheelwright, prepared a tentative plan to build the continent from Rosario in the Argentine Republic to Caldera, over the Pass of San Francisco. Thirteen years later the Chilean brothers, Juan and Mateo Clark, to whom the credit for the project of the line as completed must be awarded, took the first practical steps in the matter through a concession obtained from the Argentine government for a railroad from Buenos Aires to the Chilean frontier. In 1880 the first section from Villa Mercedes to Mendoza was built by the Argentine government, connecting with the Clark line from Buenos Aires to Villa Mercedes, in all 650 miles. A subsequent construction from the company secured the construction of the road from Mendoza to frontier and thence to the Chilean town of Los Andes (160 miles), where connection would be made with the existing line to Valparaiso, 78 miles in extent, making a transcontinental line 888 miles in length. It was the trans-Andean section between Mendoza and Los Andes which presented the greatest difficulties, for here lay the old pack route over Cumbre Pass, 12,065 feet above sea level, which modern engineering had decided to eliminate by tunneling the mountain 2,500 feet lower down. At Caracoles, on the Chilean slope, and at Las Cuevas, on the Argentine side, men and machinery entered the mountain for a final conquest of nature. Hollowed out of solid rock, the gallery opened to 10,460 feet above sea-level, 3,165 meters in length, 54% meters in height, and 5 meters wide. PROFILE OF THE TRANS-ANDINE TUNNEL ```markdown ``` CRATER LAKES OF MEXICO being located about 1,000 meters below the crest of the Andes. The Chilean section covers 1,385 meters and the Argentine 1,782, the completed work being estimated at a cost of £500,000. The tunnel is made to be the same dimensions as the Simplon and is therefore large enough to allow locomotives, carriages, or trucks that reach each gang to pass through it. It is straight throughout, except for 120 yards at the eastern entrance where there is a curve of 219 yards radius. Much work still remains to be done before trains will be running over the route, but it is proposed that communication shall be established by May 29, 1910, thus affording a most appropriate and adequate celebration of the centenary of the revolution which gave both nations their independent life. It will undoubtedly be the official exchange of visits between the executives of Chile and the Argentine Republic, which have been arranged as a feature of the centennial year. The immense practical value of the new route is shown by the statement that the time for the trp from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires will be reduced to 34 or 35 hours, thus facilitating the transport of passengers and of perishable merchandise. While the romantic aspects of the journey will be greatly reduced, the saving of time and the greater ease of travel will more than atone for the loss. The picturesque mountain pass and the starry sky of the mountains will be superceded by a continuous all-rail journey from ocean to ocean in a day and a half. So long as the chief exports of the countries interested continue to be raw materials no great changes may be expected in the character of products transported to the seaboard, though the volume will inevitably be greatly augmented. Argentine grains, hides and beef, and Chilean copper and nickel, are shipped to the sea, but in the development of a greater commercial volume between the countries of the east Mexico, with all her romance, has never given abroad any description of her crater lakes. Valle de Santiago, a little town of the state of Guanajuato, boasts four of the most perfect and beautiful of such lakes. The village nestles among 11 craters. In the old days the town, which is an ancient one, was called the Town of the Seven Candles, for the seven craters which surround it. The 11 craters mentioned by scientists are not well defined, some having come up within the others at later periods, resulting in but seven well-defined hills. The four craters which contain the lakes are all located in the valley, two, La Alberca and Zintora, are within easy walking distance, says the Mexican Herald. La Alberca is one of the lowest of the craters and on one side a portion of the crater wall has fallen away so that the approach is very easy. Half a mile across is the low line of the crater wall and down below it is the greenest of lakes, calm as a plaet of glass. The tiny boat which plies the lake is on the opposite side, close below the walls of basalt which rim it. These walls, which rise nearly a hundred feet above the surface of the lake, are part of the native rock, which was blown off like the cork of a bottle when the crater was formed. It rises sheer and erect above the lake on every side. The other crater lake which one can visit conveniently is the Zintora, which is approached after a long climb up its high sides; the lake glistens deep at the bottom with sloping sides and the surface of the lake is a beach of sand is seen on one side and on this a ruined mountain hut brings another Swiss touch to the scene. A background of a towering peak, one of the Seven Candles, rises a short distance and west coasts of South America and in the transport of lighter manufactured goods from Europe and America the rail route will prove a formidable rival. Though Brazil and the Argentine Republic are washed by the Atlantic, vast tracts of rubber-growing districts of the one and of the agricultural and cattle sections of the other lie far nearer to the Pacific. With facilities of transport it is reasonable to suppose that products which have hitherto found their sole ports of shipment on the Atlantic seaboard will ultimately turn to the Pacific, and vice versa. As a medium of ocean traffic the importance of the route can not be overestimated. At present South America is to a great extent a commercial appanage of Europe. On the east coast the trade of the United States with the countries of the Atlantic has been handicapped by inadequate shipping, and also by the fact that the east coast to the south of the turn of the continent is really much nearer to Europe than to the United States with the added advantage of more favorable sailing conditions, and the west coast is as remote by sea from New York as it is from Liverpool or Hamburg. When the Panama canal is completed States, especially in its manufacturing sections, will enjoy a tremendous advantage in respect to all that portion of South America situated on commercially tributary to the Pacific. Already the opening of the Tehuanteque line across Mexico and of the interoceanic route in Guatemala has augmented the volume of trade between the Atlantic and Pacific. With the Buenos Aires-Valparaiso route open to easy transport, Chile and Peru will not longer be cut off from the great streams of the world's commerce. They will be in direct and constant intercourse with the countries to the east and will be brought proportionately closer to Europe, and a long step will be taken toward South American solidarity by bringing the capitals of the west coast under the same influences as those of the east.

The calm restfulness of a crater lake is unlike anything else in the world. One finds lakes and solitary pools in forests or mountain fastnesses and the calm there is akin to witchery, but they are stirred sometimes by passing breezes and the trees will wave above in the wind. But in a crater lake there is not a breath that will stir it and even a stone cast into its bosom creates ripples that seem as though they would be swallowed ere they are born. Peace is a word without a meaning until one lies silent on the slope of such a crater with such a lake at his feet. HE SHOWED HIM.

Home of Mary Sparhawk, Whose Beauty Kept Portsmouth From Being Destroyed in 1775, Still Stands in Maine. Portland, Me.—There is an interesting tradition in connection with the historic Sparhawk house at Kittery Point, Me. This handsome specimen of colonial architecture was built by William Pepperell, the first American baronet, and was presented in 1745 to his daughter at the time of her marriage to Nathaniel Sparhawk. The house is now owned by Horace Mitchell and stands as originally planned, the most striking feature being the large hallway staircase. This was planned by Sir William, who drew every spindle. The house is now remarkably well preserved and is in dar better condition than the average colonial mansion of that period. The wife of Nathaniel Sparhawk was a noted belle and her daughter, Mary Sparhawk, inherited her mother's beauty and brilliancy and many stories are told of her wit and fascination. The tradition is to the effect that Captain Mowatt of the Causeaux, a British ship of 16 guns, cruising with a large armed ship, a schooner and a sloop, were off Portsmouth harbor in October, 1775, with the intention of destroying Portsmouth. Captain Howtw went privately on shore at Kittery Point, where he was presented at the loyal house of Nathaniel Sparhawk. He became so much fascinated with Mary that the intent of his voyage to destroy Portsmouth was by her influence changed and he made sail Sparhawk Mansion. for Falmouth, now Portland, where he burned more than 400 of the best houses and stores, leaving only about 100 of the poorest houses and those much damaged. Mary Sparhawk became the wife of Dr. Jarvis. The marriage was a notable event, the ceremony taking place at the house. The wedding party descended the beautiful broad stairway built by the bride's grandfather, which now stands as a lasting memorial to his skill as an architect. KNEW ALL ABOUT THE PUP But Husband of Miss Woman Had Much Difficulty in Describing Wife's Appearance. A man's voice, husky with anxiety, called up police headquarters the other night at about 2:30 a. m. It was a distraught husband begging the police to help him find his wife, who had been missing since eight o'clock in the evening. "What's her description?" asked the final at the 'phone. "Her height? Weight?" "Er—er about average, I guess," stammered the husband. "Color of eyes?" A confused burring sound came back over the wire. "Blue or brown?" prompted the official. "I—I don't know!" "How was she dressed?" "I guess she wore her coat and hat—she took the dog with her." "What kind of a dog?" "Brindle bull terrier, weight 14½ pounds, four dark blotches on his body, shading from gray into white; a round, blackish spot over the left eye; white stub of a tail, three white legs and the right front leg nicely brindled all but the toes; a small nick in his left ear, gold filling in his upper right molar, a silver link collar wrist." "That'll do," gasped the official. "We'll find the dog!"—Puck. Drugged Through the Keyhole. A robbery of the most ingenious kind has just been perpetrated at a jeweler's shop in the Rue Neuve, Brussels, which is much frequented both by day and night. Thieves entered an empty house next door, climbed along the roof, broke through the skylight of the jeweler's premises, and went downstairs. They evidently knew that the jeweler's brother, the only person in the house, slept in a room on the second floor. Working instantly they pumped money into the keyhole of the locked door. The jeweler's brother awoke next door. The jeweler's headache and found the room still full of the fume. On going down to the shop he found that jewels valued at $30,000 had been stolen.

One of the severest tests of the ingenuity of the Southern editor is the lying rendered necessary by every case of lynching that occurs. He knows that he is depended upon to present the thing in a plausible manner for the benefit of the world at large and to make it appear that the crime committed was of such appalling atrocity that the highly respectable people who avenged it were entirely justifiable, that the evidence was completely satisfactory and that the affair was conducted with dignity and good taste. By diligent and frequent practice, the Southern editor has became perfect in his role and can do the necessary lying in the finest kind of style. Hence the truth in regard to such matters almost never comes to the light. It would not do to astonish [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache.

M. C. A'S There may be some excuse for the separate Young Men's Christian Association in the South, where the line between the races is distinctly drawn, but in the North there is no justification for their existence. The Afro-Americans who are urging the establishment of separate Y. M. C. A.'s are making a grave mistake. They should consider the question from every angle before using their influence in favor of a movement which will be farreaching in its effects and may come back sometime in the shape of discriminating and repressive laws and finally in the withdrawal of all civil and political rights from the race. There are in the United States a few individuals who have proved themselves to be true Christians, but the alleged Caucasian Christian Church in this country justified slavery and has never taken a decided stand for the rights of men. The Y. M. C. A. people in many Northern communities are endeavoring to segregate the Afro-American, thus proving that in one respect the Association is not a Christian organization. If Afro-Americans think that an organization similar to the Y. M. C. A. is needed in any particular community, they should form one and call it by some other name. Under no circumstances should they have any connection with the Central Y. M. C. A., which as a rule in cities where there are colored branches, admits to the central organization members from all branches except the colored branch. To become a branch of an organization which discriminates is to admit inferiority. That Afro-Americans should become parties to the segregation plan is inconceivable, yet many are doing so.

Hitchcock, the postmaster general, makes the prediction that the complete returns of the first year of the present administration of his bill will show that the postal deficit has decreased by more than $10,000,000. In the preceding year this deficit was $17,408,000. Mr. Hitchcock's prediction is based on the auditor's returns of postal receipts and expenditures for the first half of the current fiscal year and on preliminary returns for the third quarter. "His great reduction is due to the reduction of expenses under Mr. Hitchcock." these members of the race, who are in many instances, intelligent people, are misguided and after they have carefully considered the matter and see the perils the plan entails will about face and refuse to segregate themselves. Better call a halt now. Unless segregation is stopped it will continue to grow and it is not impossible that within ten years the jimcrow car will roll into Chicago. Men and women of the race, consider well your actions! The latest 'raw deal' handed out by the South is the action of the Young Men's Christian Association of Richmond, Va., in barring two Hebrews from the privilege of renting rooms at the Association. The entire Jewish population of Richmond is justly indignant. Afro-Americans are already barred from Christian (?) Associations throughout the South and the new idea of segregation shows that real Christianity is badly needed south of Mason & Dixon's line. The protest made by the Irish against the stage representation of that race has succeeded in brushing the stage Irishman, and now the Jews have inaugurated a campaign against the caricaturing the Jew in the magazines, in the public press and on the stage. The Afro-American ought to begin a campaign along that line as the race is greatly injured by the vile caricatures which appear on every hand. The Southern hypocrites of Richmond, Va., are getting ready to "purify" the city. The first work was to arrest an Afro-American woman and a Caucasian woman charged with identical offenses. Both were tried and found guilty. The Caucasian woman was fined, but the Afro-American woman was FINED AND JAILED. That is the Southern way of "purifying." 1920 Be Ten Millions Less Than Last Year Is Mr. Hitchcock's Hopes. tmaster general, makes the prediction year of the present administration of stal deficit has decreased by more was $17,408,000. sed on the auditor's returns of postal half of the current fiscal year and quarter. reduction of expenses under Mr. WAS A REAL "STOP WATCH." He was a newly appointed constable in the rural districts and he had come all the way to town to find the watchmaker who had sold him a faulty timepiece. "But what's the matter with the watch?" asked the watchmaker in all innocence. "Matter?" drawled the old man. "By Heck, this watch stops every few minutes." The watchmaker came from behind the counter and patted his dissatisfied customer on the shoulder. "My dear man," he whispered, "you have just been made a constable, haven't you? "That's what I be," was the proud response. "And you expect to arrest motorists for speeding?" "You bet I do." "Well, how can you time automobiles without a stop watch? Go home and thank your stars you own one." And the old man was so puzzled he walked out of the watchmaker's and forgot the address. **Adjustable Sentiments.** "When citizens acclaim you as their choice for high position what do you do?" "I abide in a patriotic spirit by the wisdom of the common people," answered Senator Sorghum. "And when they arise in resentment of something you have said or done?" "I maintain a superior indifference to the clamor of the thoughtless multitude." Native Soil. "Yes, larger boxes of strawberries are coming from Florida this year," said the marketman. "Those Florida shippers are more liberal than they used to be." "I should say so," remarked the shrewd housewife, as she sifted a pint of sand from the bottom of a strawberry box. "Why, they are even sending us some of their real estate." J. Sam—Look heah, Lize, youse going too far wid wedge. Doan owl know dat if yo' tread on a worm it will turn?

"I pass," responded the old gentleman. "What's the answer?" "The one you wear, the other you were," replied the conundrum fiend. And the coroner's jury voted to give the old gentleman his freedom on the grounds of "justifiable homicide." Skeptical. "Have you heard about Reggie?" "No; what's the matter with Reggie?" "He has brain fever?" "For the same reason that a rag doll can't have appendicitis." Met His Waterloo Jimmy—Petey went around telling everybody he met, dat he had de toothache and dey would give him a penny. Billy—What made him quit? Jimmy—Why, de last man he tackled was a dentist and instead of giving him a penny he pulled de tooth out. His Fault. "Young Weakleigh is always complaining that he can't find an opening." "That's odd, considering that he generally gets into a hole." Very High Up. "How is this? I understood that Gladys had married a man in high life." "So she has. Her husband is an aviator." As Reminded Harker—Doesn't Cutten, the tailor, remind you of a doctor? Parker—I should say not. He reminds me of that little bill I owe him every time we meet. Hard Lines. "I tell you, the young playwright of today hasn't any show." "No: not even a try-out." Foresight. "I don't suppose there is any way to insure marital happiness." "Well, no there isn't, but a pre-ruptual agreement as to the amount of alimony would save a great deal of wrangling later on." The Real Variety. Pearl—Real lovers are those, that can live on bread and cheese and kisses. Ruby—No, real lovers are those that can live on kisses alone. Bread and cheese are too high these days. 7 A man out in Los Angeles Felt something hard angle Back collars, and Ceased masticating His wieners, and Began berating The water in A careful viewing Showed 'twas a dog Tag he'd been chewed Wet the mouth that The man was fussy Because he felt Outraged and cussy; He kissed And of the moss age- They should not put The tags in sausage.

"They do say," remarked Smithkins, as he pushed his chair from the dinner table, "that a woman's work is never done!" "And they are right when they say it," rejoined Mrs. Smithkins. "But what made you think of it at this time?" "That pie," replied Smithkins, as he dodged through the door just in time to escape a plate that was coming his way. Had Reached the Limit. "Father says you can't come to see Edna any more," remarked the small boy to his big sister's admirer. "W-why not?" stammered the young man in surprise. "Because," explained the youngster, "he says you come every night in the week now, and it would be impossible to come any more. See?" Frigid. Stubb—I was much interested in Dr. Cook's account of his supper at the north pole. Penn—Oh, that doesn't interest me. My wife attended her club yesterday afternoon and I had a north pole supper. Stubb—North pole supper? How was it? Penn--Cold More Appropriate "So the minister has a pet parrot. I should think it would be more according to the fitness of things for him to have a vulture." "A vulture! Great Scott! Why should he have such a bird for a pet?" "Well, one would suppose a minister would want a bird of pray." Orville Toper—So you think Bertie resembles me, eh?

"Is the legislature spending the present session to advantage?" "Well, it seems to be spending, all right." Natural Result. "Why did you get out of that vacuum company?" Father—Do you find Robert prompt at the office? His employer—Yes, indeed. I never saw in my life a young man who could get out of the office at five o'clock with less delay. The Only Way.

Mr. Editor: While in a reminiscence mood, recently, I was reminded that THE APPEAL was started in the year 1885 and therefore will pass the 25th milestone of its existence this year. What a number of interesting events have taken place during these twenty-five years, what wonderful advancements have been made by the Afro-American citizens of the Twin Cities in all lines of life! And as I was one of its early promoters and know much of its history, I believe it is no small thing for a newspaper to live for a quarter of a century under the circumstances which have surounded THE APPEAL, and it seems to me that some sort of celebration of the event should be eminent if and proper. And I also believe that the citizens of the Twin Cities whom I served so faithfully and well would gladly join in making the event one long to be remembered. My idea is that a souvenir edition of THE APPEALE be published containing a chronological history of the events that have transpired during its existence, cuts and sketches of prominent men and women, cuts of the beautiful homes that so many have become the happy possessors of, and numerous other matters of interest that would make such an edition a most valuable one for our all. Then as a grand finale a public testimonial celebration in some large hall on the anniversary day of THE APPEALS/Bith or such other day that in your judgment is more suitable, in which all may take a part in making the event one of the largest ever held here. I would suggest, if the idea meets your approval, that you select a number of persons to act as a committee to carry out such plans as I have advanced or as you may deem most advisable. Mt.

My Dear Mr. Adams: Several weeks ago I read an open letter in THE APPEAL, which suggested a celebration of its 25th anniversary. It is the right thing to do, and I am heartily in favor of it. Having been a reader of your paper ever since it was first published, and a sincere admirer of the tenacity with which you have held on to the life of your journal, supplying a demand no others have been able to fill. I believe it is an obligation the whole community owes you, and that you just deserve recognition and merit whatever form the occasion may present. I shall be pleased to render any assistance in my power to give. Yours very truly, Jones very truly, Ione Gibbs. Pres. Afro-Amer. W. S. Federation. Minneapolis, Minn. May 16. Mr. Editor: Very few of the newspapers of our race can show a record of twenty-five years' existence and as THE APPEAL has that distinction we of the Northwest are very proud of it. It is the only paper we have in the state and its Quarto-Centennial celebration is quite in order. Count on me to do all in my power to help make it a great success.

North western Trust Co., 138 Endicott Ar The excessive mortality of overweights has been published by life insurance statisticians, and the phenomenon must be considered in football discussions. It is now a proved fact that the men who are barred from the game are the ones who live the longest, and though mere length of life is no criterion of its usefulness, yet it is a fair assumption that the longest lived are the most vigorous and therefore the best brain workers. The colleges are then spending the most money on the students who will give the least returns. Every now and then some ingenious fellow publishes statistics showing that students able to take part in sports outlive those too defective to take any part at all, as though that needed numerical proof. The new statistics show that the healthy underweights excluded from football are fitter for survival in America than the overweights of the teams—American Medicine. "It's a funny thing," said the tall man, but when we lived on the first floor of our apartment house we had one baby. Twins came when we moved to the second floor and—" "That's enough," yelled the short man in wild excitement. "I'm going to vacate to-morrow. We've just moved on the fourth floor!" A New English Word Mr. Churchill added a new word to the English language in one of his speeches at Edinburgh recently. "We had a period of bad trade last year, and the shortfall in our revenue was only a million and a half. In Germany there was a shortfall of eight millions, and in the United States the shortfall was not less than nineteen millions." "Shortfall" is not recognized by any existing dictionary, but the "New England Dictionary" has only got so far as "sauce," so there may yet be time to find room for it there. It is a much more expressive word than "deficit," because of the elements of the compound are native; the make-up of the word is understood and felt by everybody, as well as its secondary meaning—Dundee Advertiser.

Among the recent outputs of the National Baptist Publishing Board in the way of Sunday school helps is the National Baptist Sunday School Lesson Commentary. This book l sin its 7th volume and is published annually by this concern, being edited by R. H. Boyd, D. D. LLLD, Secretary National Baptist Publishing Board with Rev. W. S. Ellington, B. A., D. D. Associate Editor. The book for 1910 embraces the usual far-seeing helps for the Sunday school workers. Both editor and associate editor have made it what cannot be claimed for other commentaries. strictly orthodox and purely baptistic. The splendid feature is that each lesson has both the authorized and revised texts. It is suggestive, illustrative and fully comprehensive. The commentary contains the lessons and motto texts for 1911, which really puts the book twelve months in advance. All of the work done on this periodical is by Afro-Americans who are now past masters in their professions. THE COSMOPOLITAN MUTU- AL CASUALTY CO.

A Society for the Suppression of Cruelty to Soil is advocated by J. Adam Bede, former congressman from Minnesota and humorist of national reputation, the St. Paul Dispatch says. Not only does he believe in such a society, but he says he expects to live long enough to see one organized under government supervision. "Stuff! This thing of increased cost of living," Mr. Bede said. "It doesn't cost more unless you make it. If we'd live like our grandmothers did it wouldn't cost any more. The trouble is, we're living too fast and too luxuriously. I worked my way through school. I'm paying the way of my children. Grandma did her own housework. We're hiring ours done. It's just that kind of thing which causes us to spend money. And luxuries. Why, the farmers are getting so wealthy they want to ride in automobiles. Cows upstate are getting so they won't give down their milk unless you turn on the electric lights and have a Caruso to sing. It's the rust, not the trusts, which is hurting us. Traveling down through Kansas a short time ago, I saw all kinds of farm machinery, wagons, buggies and implements, standing out in the weather—rusting. We're too lazy to take care of the things we have. We're not making the ground produce as it should. We're neglecting it. We have not learned to rotate the crops. We plant wheat and more wheat until we have 'wheated' the ground to death. That's why I want to see a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Soll."

The Negro's High Standing in the Bible. That a Negro gave Moses the principles of the Mosaic law, and by the marriage of his daughter to the world's greatest law-giver, proved the intimate relations and high-standing of the Negro in the affairs of the Bible is given historical proof according to a work just published by the Bible Publishing Company, of Moravian Falls, N. C., and written by Dr. Arthur T. Abernethy. Dr. Abernethy, who is the author of a three volume history of New York, and several other historical works of international recognition was, during the life of King Leopold, a personal friend of the King and is the author of a book on the Monsoe Free State, dealing with his creative study of the conditions of the colored peoples in various parts of the world. The colored works are the historical work just issued by the Dixie Publishing Co., is increased by the fact that it is written by a white man who is famous on both sides of the water and who deals with the subject without fear or favor. Dr. Abernethy is one of the one hundred American authors elected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and by birth a Southern man. The book which is entitled: "The Jew a Negro," proves by Jewish historians and copious quotations from the Old and New Testament, that the Negroes occupied the highest positions in Bible times, and are the direct descendants of Moses, Abraham, David, Solomon, and the patriarchs. It goes farther and declares that they were colored Biblical characters were colored and reasons it out with the historical during and evidence which ought to make every ambitious colored person want to read the book. This book is printed on the best book paper, bound in cloth and can be procured from the above mentioned publisher by mail for 50 cents. GREAT CANADIAN GLACIER ```markdown ``` Formation of Ice Archway an Annual Phenomenon. Eight thousand and four feet of ice high is the Yoho glacier of Canada. Since the first discovery of this largest of Canada's glaciers it has maintained a grand archway of ice at its lower extremity. The span of this arch is no less than 250 feet, and its height is estimated at 70 feet, while from beneath the arch the drainage escapes. The formation of the arch seems to be an annual phenomenon. Toward the close of the summer it becomes weakened by melting, and the whole structure collapses. The ice gradually is broken up and finally removed, and the formation of a new archway is commenced. From the archway issues the Yoho river. It is calculated that an avalanche must have occurred in 1850 or 1860. Since then the retreat of the glacier has been at the average rate of five or six feet a year. From August, 1901, to August, 1904, it was found that the retreat had been 111 feet, or 37 feet a year. Between August, 1894, and August, 1905, the glacier receded but nine feet, and is now thought to be checked. About the nose of the glacier there is evidence of a bodily disruption of the rock strata, to which the term "plucking" is applied. Rock layers are ripped off where the layers are thin bedded and pointed, and the fragments are pressed into the ice to assist in further work. The Yoho glacier is an almost if not entirely isolated example of a glacier as a great engine of erosion. Other glaciers move forward and are engines of transportation. No More Gold Lace for Afghans. The ameer has published an edict, which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on showy dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance, which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. A Lucky Fugitive. Ex-Gov. William S. Taylor of Kentucky is a lucky man. After having been indicted for participation in the murder of Gov. Goebel he fled to Indiana. The chief executive of the Hoosier state was a Republican, and when Gov. Beckham made a requisition for Taylor it was refused. Now there is to be inaugurated a Democratic governor of Indiana, and if there should come a request from Kentucky for Taylor it would be granted. But no such request is to be made. Kentucky has a Republican governor and he is willing that Taylor remain where he is. Holding Down Brutality. No longer are we having brutal war to lick us into shape. All the rude brutality of the peasant hordes of Europe, still the primitive type of man, is here to be handled—brutality which war and the sword have kept subdued into a sort of fierce gentleness for 2,000 years; now this Pandora's box of latent savagery, which has been fearfully held down by iron imperialism, is turned loose to hell and havoc, if not tamed and disciplined by education and gentling thought. By peasant blood I mean you and me for after all is said there is no drop of straight nobility or gentry blood in this land—New York Press. Aviation and Islam It is said that aviation is not considered orthodox among Mussulmans. M. de Caters has given his impressions to a Paris contemporary of his visit to Constantinople. He says the Turks and Arabs greatly amused him. "The Koran says that only God is able to exalt himself above men, so one can imagine how awestricken Turks were when they saw me in my aeoplane above their capital. They looked upon me as a demigod. As to the biplane, most of the Turks did not dare approach it. Those who did made their salams to it."

WOMEN'S DEBT TO ANCESTORS Tragic Figures Were the Militant Members of the Sex in the '40's and '50's. It was this attitude of the mass of women, unsympathetic and often contemptuous as it was, toward the early agitators for woman's rights, that made the position of the militant woman hardest in the '40's and '50's. She was then, and always has been, a tragic figure, this woman in front of the woman's movement—driven by a great unrest, sacrificing old ideals to attain new, losing herself in a frantic and frequently blind struggle, often putting back her cause by the sad illustration she was of the price that must be paid to attain a result. It was, and is, common to speak slightlyly of her, but it is uncomprehending. Certainly no woman who to-day takes it as a matter of course that she should study what she chooses, go and come as she will, support herself unquestioned by trade, profession or art, work in public or private, handle her own property, share her children on equal terms with her husband, receive a respectful attention on platform or before legislature, live freely in the world, should think with anything but reverence of these splendid early disturbers of convention and peace, for they were an essential element in the achievement. There is no home in the land which has not a better chance for happiness, no child which does not come into a better heritage, no woman who is not less narrow, no man who is not less bigoted because of the impetus their struggles and sacrifices gave to the emancipation of the sex."—Ida M. Tarbell, in the American Magazine. WATER NECESSARY FOR LIFE Proof That Wine Will Not Serve the Purpose Where Frenchmen Are Concerned. The French schooner Argus, struggling against headwinds to get from Dieppe to Marselles, according to the dispatches, ran out of water and for three days the crew had nothing but champagne and claret to drink. Nearly every man was disabled by fever and acute gastritis. It was with the greatest gratitude that the captain of the Argus swapped several cases of champagne for a few barrels of water from the Oceana, a Bombay liner. Pathologists will say correctly that there is nothing new in this experience. That wine will not take the place of water and keep men in good condition, has been known as long as wine has been known. Three elements, however, in the story of the Argus make it a striking lesson, emphasizing an old truth. First, the men were Frenchmen, with the Frenchman's habit of taking wine daily; second, the wines they drank as a substitute for water were presumably pure, and the claret at least was relatively light; third, the three days is a very short period for the disabling of a whole crew. It is mighty lucky for the human race that a water trust is conceded impracticable. The British Census In England a census is taken every seven years. In the United States the work costs some $5,000,000; in England, with a population of 42,000,000, the work is done by regular public officials without extra cost. There the census is taken on a certain day at a certain hour, usually Saturday at 11 p. m., because most people are then at home. Printed circulars have been sent by the police to every family and to the owners of all lodgings and hotels. These circulars contain blanks which must be filled. The police round up passers in the streets. Sometimes a cranky Englishman who, for reasons of his own, does not want to figure in the census, tries to evade the government by riding around all night in a cab. Ten chances to one he will not succeed in his purpose. Cabs are stopped as unhesitantly as are street cars or pedestrians. The government wants to know. The government will not be denied. The work is done simultaneously throughout the United Kingdom. Habit, the best 5 cent Cigar. "Father," said little Rollo, "what is appendicitis?"
