The culminating feature of the rite came when the bride and groom drank together from the marriage cups which are connected by a wooden bar. The Formosans objected strenuously to being photographed, fearing the evil eye.

But it may still find a place in Missouri, Texas and other states where the "dry" forces have not won complete defenses. The main feature of this museum consists of a crystal goblet filled with water, which is marked around the top with the holes, revolves slowly. In the goblet is placed a carved figure of wood, with one hand made of iron, a drunken leer on its face. Another figure, also that of an obviously intoxicated person stands outside and apparently attempts to grasp the hand of the individual in the water—presumably for the purpose of helping him off of his new form of "water wagon." He never succeeds, but the result is that the individual in the water all ways pointing to the hour. The attraction which brings this condition about is a magnet in the hands of the upright figure, which acts on the iron hand. SAVED BY ARTIFICIAL ARM An amusing incident occurred in Buffalo the other, week. While on his way home, Joseph Loverick was suddenly attacked by a bandit, who shouted: "Money or your life. Hands up!" Loverick compiled with one arm, but the other he could not raise as it was artificiel. Uttering dire threats, the highwayman grabbed him by the hand which he had not raised and gave it a sharp wrench. That was all that was necessary. The arm fell off in the highwayman's grasp, and turning in horror the bandit fed, shrieking with terror, and disappeared in the darkness. MANGLED HERO SEVERS ARM To save his life, Charles Deaton, a Champaign county, Ohio, farmer, cut off his arm with a pocket knife. He was caught in a corn shredder, and his companions found that they were unable to release the arm without taking the machine apart. Beaton realized that he must bleed to death unless he was freed from the machine's grip. --- World's War AGE THINGS FOUND IN W PORTIONS OF THE EARTH ding Ceremony g ceremony took place at the Japanese of two natives of Formosa in the man- inating feature of the rite came when from the marriage cups which are con- nans objected strenuously to being pho- AN ODD TRIPLE ALLIANCE Six Oklahomana, three sisters and three brothers, have, through a wedding ceremony, established a "triple alliance."

STARVING EAGLE KILLS DEER A large eagle, ravenous with hunter, attacked and killed a deer at Quabbin lake, Massachusetts, recently. A number of farmers saw the encounter, but did not interfere, as both deer and eagle are protected by rigid statutes which make no provision for refereeing martial combats. When the game warden arrived the eagle was teasing upon its adversary's carcass.

The park is 25 miles across, and is enclosed by a wire fence eight feet high and 73 miles long. When the fence was completed it was found that several wild elk and wapiti also had been shut in. THE APPEAL. Minnesota Historical Society ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MARCH 18, 1911. TWENTIETH CENTURY PIONEERING BY GEORGE SHERMAN COPYRIGHT BY FIELD AND STREAM HE creative genius and the constructive ability of Robinson Crusoe, as portrayed by, the vivid imagination of Defoe, have been paralleled in the real life of the pioneer, even during this final period of frontier reclamation. It is satisfying to undertake to verify the proverbial ingenuity of our forefathers in a story that tells of what is being done in this very day by a few industrious homesteaders in Uncle Sam's remaining wilderness. "Fifty miles off the railroad," in either described but a few isolated spots that may be pointed out by a very modern map of the United States. One of the Arkansas, among those extremely ranger ranges of the Ozark mountains. It is of the very little territory yet remaining to be taken up under the homestead laws. Its boundary is Hot Springs to the east, Mona to the west, Guda to the south and Waldron to the north. In the heart of this territory, in a jumble of the Brushy range, you may still build a house and boast of your isolation, for, indeed, it is possible to reside from eight to ten miles distant from your nearest neighbor. If you should so choose to settle, among a group of steep up-and-downs, quite removed from a wagon road, a little nearer to a trail, and yet a greater and laborious overland distance from a sawmill, it is obvious that you will have to depend, to a great degree, upon your own resources and upon your ability to create with your own hands from those things which nature has provided in a well-wooded country. Imagine yourself placed in one of these valleys or upon one of these foothills, with no greater amount of baggage, tools and provisions than could be conveyed over a country of this character with a yoke of oxen. Then, to be commanded, "Here is the forest and all it contains; go, prepare for yourself your future abode." There is a story of home making under such conditions. Then the work is illustrated and in its completion the work is the raw materials of the forest entered into the structure or its furnishings, save a small amount of hardware and incidentals forming a portion of the initial supplies brought in as a settler's outfit. Two young men, homesteaders, both city bred, completed the entire work, unassisted. Of the tools used the double-hatted ax performed the greater portion of the heavy work. It followed the wake of the cross-cut saw after the felling of the ground, from then on was the chief implement of construction. With it every duty of preparing the logs being them into their positions in the building was most quately performed. First it scored the logs lengthwise, on two opposite sides, ready for wedging and splitting into semicircular halves. Then it followed as the tool for hewing the flat surfaces of the half-logs, which, completed, formed the smooth inside walls of the dwelling. After the log had been raised into position came the task of logging down, which required even more skill in the use of the tool, which few of the native inhabitants of the forest were most proficient in making the dovetailed machine are necessary in completing a perfect set of interlocking timbers are known as "corner men." At a native house raising the ones chosen for the work are usually skilled woodsmen residing in widely separated settlements among the hills. How well this part of the work was done by two young men totally unaccustomed to pioneer life is illustrated in the series of photographs which she reached successive operation of preparing the lors and the settlers. In going on to the flooring, shingling, window framing, partitioning, finishing, and furnishing you would know how it was all installed in the absence of the products of a saw, planning mill or any of the manufactures so essential to building construction and home making. Five very common tools constituted the board-making outfit. This primitive substitute for a sawmill included an ax; two or three steel wedges and as many, hand made, of hickory; a frow, with hickory handle, the blade made of a section of iron tire; a mallet and a maul, each cut from unseasoned hickory timber. The selection of perfect "board trees" is guess work to a degree, as practiced by the natives. Out of every four trees chosen by the woodsman's system of identifying marks, usually only one is perfectly adaptable to board making by the method of splitting with mallet and frow. The most reliable way to select the right kind of timber is to observe the general trend of the crevices in the bark. The course of these lines should be nearly perpendicular with the trunk. Another good method of judging a straight-grained trunk is to note the distribution and the general design of the scaly, turtle-shell patches FUNERAL OF THE WRONG MAN A strange tangle up resulted at New York recently owing to a mistake in the identification of a dead man. George Becker learned from the authorities of a city hospital that his brother John, who had been an insecure, had suddenly died. Mr. Becker called an undertaker and asked him to prescribe medicine. Relatives and friends were asked to attend the funeral. When he reached the undertaking establishment he found that his brother's features were much distorted and that he had aged apparently about forty years. Becker hurried to the hospital to learn the cause of the sudden change. As he looked around, he glad shock which took his breath away as he was confronted by his brother. After a talk with the superintendent it developed that the institution had been caring for two persons of the same name, and the authorities had notified the relatives of the wrong man. MOVING PICTURES TEACH WAR Moving picture shows especially designed to foster patriotic and warlike sentiments have been placed on view in Berlin. The idea originated with the German Patriotic society, whose aim is to educate the people in the matter of tactics and strategy on the battlefield and to make the object of different movements of troops plain to the lay mind. The first show was a cinematograph demonstration of "How we won the day at Sedan," with verbal explanations by two army officers. Evidently it is not to Germany that Andrew Carnegie must look for support of his peace ideals. ODD THING IN FIRE ALARMS Some genius in Millertown, N. Y., devised for that little place a most effective fire alarm by hanging up a steel tire taken from a locomotive wheel. When it is struck with a hammer the contrivance makes a terrific din. This device has been copied by other villages and has proved entirely adequate, but it has to be protected from the mischievous small boy. THE creative genius and the constructive ability of Robinson Crusoe, as portrayed by the vivid imagination of Defoe, have been paralleled in the real life of the pioneer, even during this final period of frontier reclamation. It is satisfying to undertake to verify the proverbial ingenuity of our forefathers in a story that tells of what is being done in this very day by a few industrial homesteaders in Uncle Sam's remaining of bark. These scales should be long and narrow, and their design should show a reasonable amount of regularity. The trend of these patches of bark scale should deviate but slightly from the perpendicular. It is impossible to split a perfect board from a log in which the markings and bark scales are inclined to encircle the trunk like a cage. Nor is it always possible to make perfect boards, even if the markings of the bark are in accord with governing rules. Native intuition, difficult to define, aids considerably in selecting the best trees. The practice of "chipping" is a final test. In the most remote forests, many miles from a rafted area is difficult to find an area, even on the crest of a mountain, that has not been penetrated by the pioneer in the pursuit of splitting timber. Far from the nearest settlement, in the depth of a virgin forest, the interprelude frequently observes these notchings for board trees, even when there is entire absence of other signs of advancing civilization. Out of 21 trees selected and chipped, while observing these rules, 17 were discarded. The remaining four supplied all the lumber necessary to complete the building operations and a sufficient quantity of choice boards for the mission furnishings. After sawing into eight and ten foot lengths the logs were rolled into position for splitting. Then followed the scoring preparatory to cutting with mallet, maul and wedges. In the diagram of a cross-section of a piece of pine board timber an entering wedge points the line of the first seam and separates the semi-circular halves. The timber then quartered and again split the third time. An inch log will produce eight well-shaped bolts, the practical and convenient size for splitting with a frow. Each of these bolts is placed upright into a crack crotch, which is staked firmly to the ground to support in prying. The cutting edge of the frow blade is the lower side of the tool when the handle is held upright with the blade resting across the V-shaped end of the bolt. The heart is waste, which is split from the bolt with a wedge. When the cutting edge of the frow blade is placed across these markings the upper or broad edge of the blade is tapped gently with the mallet. This operation starts the board. By rocking the upright handle to and fro the blade opens a seam and is entered deeper with little exertion. Or fifteen seconds of this prying operation will cease perfectly smooth board from the bolt. All of the hammer used is the building operations was produced by this method. The same process was applied to shingle making. The 5,000 ½-inch boards required for roofing purposes, all split from 18-inch log lengths, were turned into two operators with mallet and frow in a day and a half. Other timbers required, such as the solid oak foundation sills, the pine sleepers, or flooring supports, the joists and the rafters, were all hand-hemed with a broadax from unseasoned trunks. The work bench for hand planing and finishing lumber was improvised from a half-log, 24 inches in diameter, mounted on two large stumps and held in position with wooden pegs. Smaller wooden pegs were used also, to an extent, as a substitut for mails and screws in the building operations. The work bench is the carpenter's and cabinet maker's tools constituted the outfit. Completed, the dimensions of the hand $2.40 PER YEAR 16x18 feet and there is a second story and also a kitchen and bathroom annex. The wing is eight feet wide and extends the length of one end of the house. The main living room is most ingeniously arranged for both convenience and comfort. It is at once convertible into either a sitting room, a dining room or a bachelor's den. In one corner of this room is a broad, turning stairway, easy to ascend, with a rustic balustrade, artistically designed—all made of young hickory. The variegated colorings of the natural bark appear as if illuminated, which lends a feeling of soft warmth and comfort. The cozy corner is diagonally opposite the stairway, overhanging shelves are at once a gallery of interesting photographic studies and a miniature museum of natural history. They are a repository for a collection of Indian pottery, flint arrow heads and implements, queer freaks of vegetation, fascinating bits of strange mineral formations, brilliant plumage of oridine birds, hawk's claws, antlers and a variety of 14-INCH ROOFING BOARDS FROM 18-INCH LOG LENGTHS SURFACE OF HALF-LOGS curios, each one of them a pleasant reminder of some little adventure or of an exciting chase through the forest. The cozy corner is fitted with a mission seat and all its apperturances are in the same style and design. Within this corner one may enjoy the all-pervading solace of knowing the reality of one's surroundings. The imagination is undisturbed by the vision of a furniture factor's process of imitating the craftsmanship of the pliots, the materials, some filled with pine needles and others stuffed with red-duck feathers, create a desire to tarry for any wild-fashion combat. A gun rack, cardboard belts, holders and other of the articles of a hunter's paraphernalia decorate the walls on each side of this inviting nook. Tables, chairs, bookcase and writing desk are all in accord and all hand made of raw materials. A few clever articles of convertible furniture lend considerable freedom and convenience in a room that otherwise would be overcrowded. Among these is a screened dummy elevator which takes the place of cellar and refrigerator and which may be readily converted into a kitchen table, when required, in carving meats, kneading dough and for other culinary purposes. The elevator carriage is four feet in height, with a series of shelves, and it is so constructed that its top forms a square panel in the floor when the floor is well balanced with weights operated by cords and pulleys that it requires but little effort, with one finger in an iron ring, to raise the top to table height above the floor. The dining table is cleared after supper and supplied with a new cloth, all fresh and clean. Then it is raised in its large castors to another part of the room, directly under a hanging lamp, to serve the purpose of a library table for the remainder of the evening. The lamp is positioned through a hole in the floor, from the ceiling of the bed chamber on the second floor. When all are ready to retire the lamp is shifted to the sleeping apartment by means of the raising-and-lowering device. The most marked display of ingenuity has been applied to the kitchen furnishings. Everything but the cook stove and pipe is home made. Lard pails and vegetable tins have been converted into cooking dishes and utensils of every description. A goodly amount of creative genius and a two-dollar soldering set produced all of the tinware used in the kitchen. On the stove is a cottontile pail that has been converted into a teapot, complete with spout, handle, cover and inside strainer. Two deep tin covers, golden together, have produced a very serviceable hot-water kettle. Then there are stove lifters and shovels, frying pans and a number of other small utensils made from sheet iron stove-pipe lengths—all bent, soldered and riveted by hand. Both the kitchen and the bathroom are supplied with running water conducted to the house from a spring higher up through a system of wooden troughs. The bathtub is of wood, enameled with white paint.

SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1911 TAFT AND THE AEROBIC AMERICAN TAFT I AND THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN. The appointment of William H. Lewis, of Massachusetts, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, marks a new era in race progress. It is a positive advance over anything in the line of political appointments ever made by a Republican President. In his inaugural address President Taft said: "The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag." "Any recognition of distinguished Negroes, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued." President Taft has appointed other Afro-Americans to good places in the Government service, but the importance of the Lewis appointment lies in the fact that it is a higher place than has ever before been given to one of the race. As Assistant Attorney General it will be necessary to assign Mr. Lewis to some of the most important legal work of the Government and it is M. B. HON. JAMES C. NAPIER: Who Became Register of the Unit Hon. James C. Napier of Tennesse United States Treasury last wednesday T.

The retiring Register, Hon. W. T. Vernon, made a neat little speech when he turned over the office to his successor, and Mr. Napier responded in a happy vein. Hon. J. C. Napier, her mother, Mrs. J. M. Langston, and Mrs. Frank Langston, sister-in-law of Mrs. Napir were present. On Mr. Napier's desk was a beautiful ornate tribute from his Nashville friends. All of the employees of the office filed in and extended greetings to the new Register. certain that he is well qualified for the place. An Assistant Attorney General outranks many high officials and the Afro-American people are pleased to know that they have a representative of the race so near in rank to a Cabinet officer. The Afro-Americans of the country naturally feel very grateful to President Taft for this appointment. known the occupants of rooms on the same floor with that of Wang immediately made protest against the introduction of men of other races into the building. Of course that was not a Christian spirit, but the spirit of American Christianity is usually a variance with the spirit of Christ. The managers of the Y. M. C. A., fearing that news of the insult would be in turmoil to the work in China, bushe REGISTER NAPIER President Taft made an excellent appointment when he named Hon. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, as register of the United States Treasury. Mr. Napier is a life-long Republican. He has held many responsible political places in his native state, and now, as fitting climax to his career as a broad-minded, honest, courageous citizen, is given a high honor. In this instance it is a case of the office seeking the man. President Taft has offered a number of important places to Mr. Napier, but he has always declined, and in accepting the Registership he has taken it wholly for the honor, for he must really sacrifice great business interests in order to give his services to the government. He was president of a bank in his home city, and it was necessary to resign before he could become Register. Mr. Napier is a man of wealth. In addition to his dollars he has a price less jewel in the person of Mrs. Napier, a daughter of the late Hon. John Mercer Langston. Mr. Napier is a devoted husband, and, like many other noted man, ascribes much of his success in life to aid and loyalty of his good wife. THE APPEAL congratulates Register Napier. CHRISTIANIZING THE CHINESE. The Caucasian Christians of Washington are at it again. Accustomed to vent the race hatred on Afro-Americans, it is not strange that they "broke out" when a yellow man crossed the color line. Mr. Chen T. Wang is a Chinaman. He is a graduate of Yale and has been prominent in the Y. M. C. A. work in this country and abroad. For more than a year he was in charge of the student Y. M. C. A work among Chinamen in the United States, and was at one time in charge of the work among Chinamen in Japan. Recently he was appointed international secretary for China, and was housed in the dormitory of the Y. M. C. A. When his presence became M. THE LATE HON. B. K. BRUCE.

Of course that was not a Christian spirit, but the spirit of American Christianity is usually at variance with the spirit of Christ. The managers of the Y. M. C. A., fearing that news of the insult would be injurious to the work in China, hushed the matter up. It is of course understood that the conversion of Chinese to Christianity means dollars to American merchants. They are not working for the Chinamen's souls, but rather for the benefit of American pockets. American merchants contribute millions to convert people of other races and get back two dollars for every dollar contributed. That's all there is to it. Mr. Wang is evidently a man of little the spirit. If he were properly constituted he'd repudiate the false Christianity they have taught him in this country and return to Confucianism He'd refuse to be a party to the race hate-propaganda of American Christianity. KICK! KICK!! KICK!!! All over the United States, the Irish are making a fight against the comic post cards in connection with St. Patrick's day. The Ancient Order of Hibernians have petitioned the Postmaster General to prevent the objectionable matter from going through the mails. The Irish are right. There is no reason on earth why these scurrilous cards which reflect upon the Irish people should be transported in the United States' mails. All honor to people who so vigorously protested against the insults offered to their race. This matter of objectionable post cards ought to be looked into by the Afro-Americans, for there are now in circulation many hideous caricatures of race. Somebody ought to take hold of the matter and make some noise about it. No wrongs are ever righted except by protest. Kick! Kick!! Kick!!! JIM CROW SALVATION Recently there was a meeting of Salvation Army workers of the country at Washington, D. C., and work among Afro-Americans was suggested. A storm of protest went up from the officers from the South when a Northern delegate proposed that white officers be required to conduct meetings among Afro-Americans. They virtually declared they would not as- [Illustration of a man in a suit with a hat.] N. B. K. BRUCE. The Office of Register of the Treasury. same such duties, with the result that the committee appointed to draft a plan for the new work was discharged before it had time to commence work and the conference adjourned without further allusion to the proposed work. Commander Booth said: "it would probably be just as well to segregate the races. The Negroes are badly in need of such help as we can give them, and I am confident we shall accomplish a great deal for their general welfare." The Commander is in error. The Afro-Americans do not need any more jim crow salvation. They have had enough of it. They would like a little real Christianity. There is practically none in the American Church, and now that the Salvation Army, which was organized to work among the scum of the earth, purposes to draw the color-line, it would seem that Caucasian Christianity is indeed a farce. CAPITAL CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY. The Washington Herald, in a recent issue, has a long-winded editorial on the goodness of the people of the Capital City and among other things says that the lives of the residents are in keeping with the highest tenets of Christianity. This may be true in some respects, but when the color-line is reached the Caucasians of Washington do not follow the tenets of the meek and lowly Nazarene. In no city in the United States is there more bitter race hatred, and there is less reason for it than in many other places. While there are many bad Afro-Americans, the percentage of intelligence, refinement and wealth is large, but this seems to infuriate the alleged Caucasian Christians and cause them to hate their Afro-American brethren the more bitter. The Caucasian hypocrisy has been strikingly shown on several occasions within the past year. In one fashionable street, there is a block containing many fine residences. Among them, however, are a few shacks occupied by low-grade Afro-Americans, but the aristocratic whites and lowly blacks have lived in harmony for many years. Last year a wealthy Afro-American, with an income of about $5,000 per annum, purchased one of the fine houses and moved into it. The gentleman is a man of the highest character, his wife is a lady of refinement, a graduate of one of the leading American universities and also a graduate of a famous German conservatory of music, in fact the entire family is infinitely superior in every respect to any white family in the block, but the Caucasian Christians became indignant at what they called a "Negro invasion," and began to move away one by one and now they have all gone, many who owned their own home having sacrificed them to get away from Afro-American Christians. And by the way, it was a committee of Washington Christians which decreed that no Afro-Americans should be permitted to take part in the Sunday school parade in that city last year. Few Caucasian Christians live up to the highest tenets of Christianity when the color-line is reached. ARE SOUTHERN AFRO-AMERI CANS WILLING TO BE JIM- CROWED? The wording of the press dispatch from Vicksburg, Mississippi, relative to the case of a Caucasian woman, who was awarded $15,000 damages for being placed in a Pullman car with three Afro-American bishops as fellow passengers, is significant.* This paragraph occurs: "Among Negroes of this state there is little interest in the verdict, for Southern Negroes do not force themselves into sleeping cars or in other ways intrude on white passengers. When there is that sort of trouble down here it is generally some Negro from the North who is the cause of it." It is very creditable to the Afro-Americans of the North that some of them start trouble when their rights are infringed upon. If the paragraph is a correct statement of the indifference of the Southern Afro-Americans, they deserve to be jimcrowed and have no right to expect any sympathy from their Northern brethren. DISTORTING HISTORY Former Senator Joseph Blackburn of Kentucky made the principal address before the Veterans of the Confederacy at the celebration of the birthday of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in Washington, D. C., recently, and gave out the following perverted statement: "In reality the South was fighting for human rights and human liberty, and the slaves would have been freed without any war, but the people of Europe thought differently and therefore withheld their sympathy from our cause. Had they realized what the South was really fighting for they would have given us assistance and we would have defeated the North." THE APPEAL is surprised that a man of Senator Blackburn's reputed intelligence would have the temerity to make such a statement. The people of Europe were better prepared to render unbiased judgment in the matter than the partisans on either side in the United States and they came to the conclusion that the South was fighting to perpetuate a hideous moral wrong and gave their moral support to the North. Senator Blackburn's talk is another evidence of the organized effort of the South to pervert the facts of history. WORK OF RED CROSS During That Time Earthquake, Fire, Storms, Famine and Pestilence Have Produced Needy—Relief Given in 33 Disasters. Washington—The purposes and responsibilities of the American *Red Cross, according to its charter, are as follows: "To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war." . . . "and to carry on a system of national and international relief in time of peace and apply the same in mitigating the sufferings caused by pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and other great national calamities, and to devise and carry on measures for preventing the same." The Red Cross is governed by a Central committee of 18, of whom six are appointed by the president of the United States and 12 elected. This committee appoints a national director. Under the Central committee are state boards which are financial representatives in the collection and bursement of relief funds in their respective states, and chapters which are local groups of members. Field work is divided into three classes and, is assigned to three boards, the war relief board, the national relief board and the international relief board. The war relief board at present conducts a department of first aid and a department of nursing. Miners, railroad men, sailors, workmen in great industrial establishments, police and firemen are taught the practical application of first aid to the injured. A car especially equipped carries lecturers to all parts of the country. Local physicians continue the instruction after the car passes on. Several thousand men are now receiving instruction in first aid in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Oklahoma, Iowa, Tennessee and other states. The Red Cross also supervises the first aid instruction given by those in charge of the seven mine rescue cars of the United States bureau of mines. In time of war the knowledge of first aid Miss Clara Barton. widely inculcated would bring into the volunteer armies many men well prepared for service in hospitals and in the care of wounded on the battle fields. In the last two years these societies have participated effectively in Red Cross relief work following disasters in Key West, Fl.; Cherry, Ill.; Birmingham, Ala.; Drakesboro, Ky., and the forest fire region of Minnesota. Contributions made to sufferers in foreign countries are under the direction of the International relief board. Usually the American Red Cross is represented by the diplomatic or consular agents of the United States nearest the point of relief operations. Since 1905, the variety and extent of the relief work may be partly shown by the following table: Philippine typhoon, 1906. $ 1,150.00 Japanese famine, 1906. $ 265,855.67 Mexican famine, 1906. $ 265,855.67 California earthquake fire, 1906. $ 2,656,239.54 Valparaiso earthquake, 1906. $ 12,533.38 Chinese famine, 1906. $ 277,726.42 Gulf storm, 1907. $ 677.87 California famine, 1907. $ 677.87 Russian famine, 1907. $ 9,000.00 Calabrian earthquake, 1907. $ 233.00 Monongah midge disaster, 1907. $ 3,782.11 Mississippi cyclone, 1908. $ 2,767.33 S.

The experiment was a success. In 1908 the movement was made national. The purpose is to contribute to the support of organized tuberculosis work already in operation. The net proceeds of sales are expended in the states and communities in which the sales are conducted. In 1908 the total sales of stamps amounted to about $150,000 and in 1909 about $240,000.

Utley's hair straightener complete $1.50 Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is issued—and that is every Saturday—act as though they are under neither legal nor moral obligations to pay for it; when, as a matter of fact, they are under both. There is no law compelling any one to receive THE APPEAL, but there is law to compel any one to pay for it who receives it, upon the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Ordering a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to continue to send his paper until whatever may be due for it is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is indebted to the paper, will bring or send to the office the amount due. Every one who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it. CIGARS AND SMOKERS Let us help you to save money. Tampa, Florida, has more cigar factories than any other city in the United States, and we became alive to the fact that Afro-Americans in Tampa smoke enough cigars of all grades to keep hundreds of cigar makers at work daily, so we organized in 1906, what is known as the WILLIAMS CIGAR COMPANY, and we have been successful. We have the largest Afro-American cigar factory known. We must ensure that we must not only be consumers, but producers. We are at present employing from 15 to 20 members of our race in our factory, and we are desirous of appointing agents in all parts of the country. Our agents can make easily from $10 to $20 per week to help to maintain an institution which may become a great nucleus of good. We have a department in which we are teaching scores of boys and girls to be efficient cigar makers. Some of our graduates are earning from $10 to $25 per week in the larger factories, and we have the great work of employing our students? Our prices range from $2.30 per hundred to $6.00 per hundred. We can save you one cent on up to ten percent of our factory. The extra amount you are paying our competitors for cigars enables them to employ hundreds of their boys and girls and to build for them. We ask for a portion of your patronage. We are trying to solve this great problem along the lines of self-help. Give us a trial order. Send for our orders. R. L. W. Gigans at $7.00 per hundred. "THE LION AND THE MOUSE." Which Will Be Seen at the Grand Next Week. "The Lion and the Mouse," that has enjoyed over three years of almost unbroken duration as a supreme success will be brought to the Grand Jury on Monday, March 19, by The United Play Co. While this great drama may have been seen and enjoyed by many local playhouse patrons it is fair to assume throughout the country the example set to witness the dealings and misdouglas of John Burkett Ryder, afresh. Charles Klein has filled this play with such rapid action and bright material for the audience that fails to realize the full meaning of the theme in seeing "The Lion and the Mouse" but once. A company of players of whom it is said surpass any yet seen in this play will enact the many diff. forms of the character, and will be complete in every detail and a delightful engagement is looked for. ward to by those who pride them with knowing what is on the stage today. A TRIP TO DIXIE LAND. We left St. Paul Feb. 20th, the stops at Chicago, Evansville and Nashville were without incident. We arrived at Tuskegee the morning of the 230. The trustees of the institution were quite frequently Mr. Washington was a very busy man, but notwithstanding these conditions, he found time to receive us and show us some courtesies which we highly appreciated. It being near the University of Chicago, he charged by Prof. Geo. W. Carver, director of Agriculture, who escorted us to "Tomkits Hall" where we lunched. We were very new and very magnificent, $175,000.00, recently erected by the students. We met many old friends in this building, among whom was Mr. Noah D. Thompson, formerly of Chicago, but now in one of the departments, who expeditioned on us a sightseeing expedition. At the Carnegie library we were entertained by Mr. Chas. Winter Wood, the librarian, who showed us all the attention that his amiable disposition would permit. In company with Miss J. H. H. and Prof Carver, the hospital, Tatum Hall, Rockefeller Hall, machine shop, wood working division, also the dairy and stock form were visited and enjoyed. All were neat and well kept. White Memorial Hall Girls Club, next to the next door, Mr. White of N. Y., his wife and daughter (donors in memory of their family), being present at the dedication, which took place on the 23d; that evening at chapel, Mr. White of N. Y., his wife and students, Mr. B. T. Washington presided with his usual grace and ease, his wit and humor being the life of the occasion. Tuskegee's famous choir of 75 voices furnished the music for the occasion. It was their first year ago when the struck a responsive word in the breast of Mr. White. We spent some time with Mr. Emmitt Scott, private secretary to Mr. Washington, he is one of the businessmen in the city who showed appreciation of the call. We also visited with Mrs. B. T. Washington in her magnificent home and were shown all the attention that a grand, good-looking woman of her caliber could give. On the morning of the 24th, we visited parade grounds and witnessed guard mount. There were some 8 or 10 companies, in charge of Capt. Austin formerly of the St Illinois. The boys went through the manual of the parade ground, marching in twos, fours and battalion formation was excellent. They were led by the Tuskegee Institute band of 50 pieces; this band had just returned from a concert tour through Georgia. People, the audience being 50e. Capt. Austin informed us that the band had an engagement at Chicago during the coming summer, also at Milwaukee and perhaps would come to the Twin Cities. We have touched briefly on the trip to this famous school, prepping for the parade. In order to realize the magnitude of this great work one must see for himself and then, after seeing, I inclined to think you would express yourself as did Sheba's Queen (after having heard of Solomon's power and then visiting his domain) "The half has never been told!" On the 24th we arrived in Mobile, Ala, the same evening attended a full dress party given by the O. O. D.'s, Order of Doves, in the beautiful Mill and Timber hall. Decorations and costumes represented Dante's Inferno. Continuous music was the feature, and the band of 15 pieces and at the other end Faustina's orchestra played alternately. From the morning of the 25th to March 2d, we made a careful study of the condition of the Afro-American people. We found them in all avenues of business life, operating grocery stores, drug stores, furniture stores, both now and second hand, undertake the same business. We head of the different business enterprises said about the same thing: "If we can manage to keep what the people want they will patronize us." Their insurance offices are very attractive. With all Afro-American girls as clerks in various offices and Afro-American men as heads of departmental offices, they are able to record and files, adding machines etc. Out of five Caucasian undertakers and two Afro-Americans the firm of Allen and Harney (Afro-Americans) buried 40 per cent of the dead of Allen for 1910. We called at the department of the superintendent of carriers (Afro-Americans), all carriers at this postoffice, 33 in number, are Afro-Americans, also many of the clerks. The relations between the races seem very cordial, most of the Afro-Americans are horses and buggies, that their wives may enjoy. In Pensacola, Fla., we found the Afro-Americans as they were in Mobile in all kinds of business enterprises and with a monopoly on labor. In Montgomery, Ala., we found the Afro-Americans with fine stores of all kinds, one bank received on deposits the first day it opened for business more than $12,000. So far as the general relations of the Afro-Americans are concerned, both North and South, we have a advantage, the Northern Afro-American has rights which the Southern Afro-American has not. Such as right of franchise, steam and electric cars, etc. The Afro-Americans in the North have a advantage in work in all the trades and professions, are glad to have them, as are also the non-union employers. The race leaders are striving there to teach the Afro-Americans the dignity of honest labor, also to patronize Afro-American enterprises, the rights and value of American citizenship and support of American workers. In a word, will state to the unbeliever and those ignorant of the actual existing conditions there that we are unable to paint here a true picture as we saw and learned, therefore, as a matter of education and experiential support of the time and make a trip to "Dicland Lie" us as Peter said, when they went on the mount of transfiguration, "Lord it is good to be here, let us go and build three tabernacles, one for thee, one for Moses and one for Elijah." J. E. J and J. A. T. WATCH OUT FOR IT. The Minneapolis Knights of Pythias will give a grand Concert and Ball at the Auditorium Nicollet and Elevate on Monday evening, April 19th.

SIXTH ST The Penknife in History. Nowadays we use penknives principally for sharpening pencils. There was a time, however, when they were used, primarily, for doing something else. They used to be just what their name would indicate. They were "pen-knives." A pen knife used to be just what its name would indicate—a "pen-knife." The ancients used pens made of goose quills, just as our own forefathers did up to about a hundred years ago. The quill pen was made by hand, of course, and whenever the point of one would break or lose its elasticity it was up to the penman to put a new point or "nib" on the quill. This was done with a small knife, and hence we have the word that has outlived the quill pen a hundred years—"pen-knife." In the older times the pen-knife was a necessary accessory of the writing desk. When the clasp-knife came in, the smaller sizes took their name from the little desk knife, while the bigger ones were called "jack-knives"—"jack" signifying anything masculine or big and strong.
