VOL. 27. NO. 25. THE KING THE KING in CORONATION RObes CONTEST DUR NIKE AUCTION ITH mediaeval splendor, strangely out of keeping with the trend of thought in modern England, yet eagerly looked forward to by a people who, in spite of their hardships, to love of pageantry of assisted retrospection as it were—the coronation of ITH mediænal splendor, out of keeping with the trend of thought in modern England, yet eagerly forward to by a people who, in spite of people of age, love of pageantry—of assisted retrospection as it were—the coronation of George V. exceeds in magnificence anything that the modern world has seen. The pomp and pageantry will not make him one whit more the ruler of his millions; it will not add one lot or title to his power. But the coronation is a pageant his people await with no slight degree of excitement, that the whole world would go forth to see. Then, being crowned ruler of Great Britain and Ireland, he will visit India, with his queen, and there be proclaimed and crowned emperor. He is the first ruler of Britain's empire of India to go to that distant empion to receive the symbol of his office. In previous reigns the crowning has been by proxy and the vexor of India has held it as one of the privileges of his exalted office that, for a brief space, at a demonstration almost barbaric in its splendor he could stand in the stead of his sire and receive the homage due the actual emperor. The kingdom of make-bearer to his queen, Rex, will receive the feeble of his distant dominion. And what a rush of native potentates there will be to claim places near the throne of the great white king! The ceremony of the coronation is a survival of an ancient custom of sacring or hallowing the kings. From the standpoint of the public at large the actual placing of the crown upon the monarch's head is the most important feature of the ceremony. But from the standpoint of the ceremony's meaning of symbolism, the service of uction is perhaps the most noteworthy. And then, too, there is that moment in territory, or such it really is, in spite of its religious significance, that he occupies at the start, to sit on England's throne, ruler of the United Kingdom and of her dominous over the sea! ual coronation, will be the cap of state or maintenance, made of red velvet. The queen consort will be a regal figure in the purple of her rank. She will wear a small gold coronet, and will receive the crown later, following the coronation of the king. Some of the medieval observances have been abandoned, but their abandonment has not lessened the splendor of the passant, for there have been many additions with the growth of the British empire. The hereditary earl marshal, the aged duke of Norfolk, is the general factotum in the hall of the abbey. He will direct the procession of the king with his catholic consort. The dean of Westminster will have catholic clergy in the hall, having the robes and regalia properly assembled for the monarch and his queen. The robes will have been brought from the Jerusalem chamber of the abbey, where the dean will have been in constant and terrified guard over them. In a religious setting the ceremony of the coronation, when studied by the layman, instantly recalls the service of consecrating a bishop, and the service of consecrating a clergy, though the most important feature of the consecration of a bishop is omitted, that of the laying on of hands." Teen, then, the coronation is not merely a festivity. It is something more, much more. For it marks the formal setting apart of the king as a person different from all his subjects, not only by virtue of his position as their ruler, but by his power, with holy or sacred advantage that has Biblical parallels and sanctions. To greet the king and queen on their arrival at the abbey will be crowded tiers. Those present will be the favored of all England. The tiers will be draped in yellow and blue velvet. The abbey will be richly carpeted in blue—the color of the Garter—in accordance with a time-honored custom. Here and there will be Indian rugs, tokens from the empire potentates to the great white king. There will be nothing extravagant about the rug or drapery display. Every effort will be made to prevent the concealment of the permanent beauty of the abbey, and the decorations will serve a useful purpose in hiding the stands that find place only at coronation times. King George will be robed in a white skirt shirt, and over that will be placed a close-fitting coat of red sarcenet. These vestments are provided with openings at the breast, for the purpose of wearing the dressings, but as the anointing ceremony has become less elaborate with time the need of additional openings has vanished. The openings in the vestments will be fastened with ribbons, and another of the manifold duties of the dean of Westminster will be to see that they are in readiness for the service. It is also seen that they are fastened again, so that his majesty will not present an untidy appearance On a raised dals in full view of all those present will be placed two thrones. The king's throne will have the place of honor elevated two steps above that of his consort in token of his sovereignty. Facing the altar, and for the sake of the monarch, be another throne, no longer called a throne, but called as St. Edward's chair. It is when he leaves this throne, and attired in all the regalia of the exiled office he takes the real throne that the very climax of the whole ceremony is reached. In the early days the king stood barelegged to receive his people's crown; but, due to the freaks of the British climate or to a more delicate sense of the fitness of things, the monarch now will be properly stockinged, and will wear also knee breches and buskins of cloth of gold. He will wear sandals of dark leather with red straps. Covering everything also will be the red or parliamentary robe, which is so familiar from photographs of kings. On his head, before the act. But, to return to the procession under the direction of the earl marshal. The king and queen, and having been greeted by the sight of crowded with representatives of every civilized THE APPEAL. THE QUEEN Crowning Britain's King and Queen country as well as with the accredited representatives of the British Empire, so that it is a veritable parliament of man, a federation of the world, will proceed to chairs set before and below their thrones. At this juncture the archbishop of Canterbury, who, it is interesting at this point to note, is the ranking omial at the ceremony—not only in that he crowns the king, but also in view of the fact that, in the event of the crown prince's absence from the kingdom, or an intergrum would be reagent—accompanied by four dignitaries, will proclaim once more the king to his subjects and to the world. The four dignitaries are the lord chancellor, the lord great chamberlain, the lord high constable and earl marshal. They will march solemnly to the four sides of the abbey, or amphitheater, as it might be called, and address the assemblage. The king, at the moment he makes himself the risen as if to show himself to the to whom he is being proclaimed. The archbishop will speak this message: "Sir, I here present to you King George, the undoubted king of this realm; wherefore all of you have come this day to do your homage, are you willing to do the same?" As by one voice the people will take up the cry that will reverberate through the whole lit of the empire on which the sun never sets: "God save the king." Following this acclamation both king and queen consort will take the places reserved for them just below their thrones. The regalia of the king at the begin- ning of the ceremony, ready describ- es, except that when the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper are will remain uncovered, the little cap once be put aside for the time. At the coronation oath will be adminise the king, and, casting aside his red robe, will proceed to St. Edward's chair, as already been pointed out, is for his accony. Now what is, perhaps, the most picture of the whole ceremony, excepting if the actual crowning of the monarch will be of great splendor. A cloth of whose value represents a fortune of it held over the king by Garter knights in the picturesque habiliments of their then the Westminster dean, taking from historic vessels known as the amphipon, will attend the primate of all who will anoint the sovereign on head and hands. In its picturesqueness, this moment in any is perhaps the most solemn of the feeding. And the king, being formally set apart, hallowed—will then be an historic regalia known as the Colonies and the Supertunka. The monarch is to be accounted with the golden lord chamberlain will gird him with a the imperial mantle will be thrown. The ceremony, reaching another clocher, will be seated, where the orb, the ring for the fourth finger hand and the scepter of royalty. Anything is ready for the actual coronarchishop will take the historic symbol placing on the altar and put it upon the king. The assemblage will break out multitudes of loyalty in the words: "God save the king!" I clergy, lords and ladies, all who can and most of them will—then will break out the Demon to be poured that will about the world. The King will break out by the side of his consent that he conen the ceremony began and, then, to words of the coronation officer, "is not literally—up into his throne." England's king and the queen consort of a day. It is a stupendous undertakend to be impressive. And it can that mark. Litany and Sacrament of the Lord's Supper are reached he will remain uncovered, the little cap of maintenance being put aside for the time. At the altar the coronation cath will be administered to the king, and, casting aside his红 robe, his majesty will proceed to St. Edward's chair, which, as has already been pointed out, is for his sake. Then follows what is, perhaps, the most pictureque feature of the whole ceremony, excepting only that of the actual crowning of the monarch. The scene will be of great splendor. A cloth of gold pall, whose value represents a fortune of itself, will be held over the king by Garter knights all arrayed in the pictureque habiliments of their station. Then the Westminster dean, taking from the altar the historic vessels known as the ampulla and spoon, will attend the private of all England, who will anoint the sovereign on head and breast and hands. Papyrus from pictureque, this moment in the ceremony is the most solen of the whole proceeding. And the king, being formally anointed—set apart, halLOW—will then be arrayed in the historic regalia known as the Colobium Sindonis and the Supertunica. The monarch's heels are to be accounted with the golden spurs, the lord chamberlain will gird him with a sword and the imperial mantle will be thrown about him. The ceremony, reaching another cliMax now, the monarch will be seated, where he will receive the orb, the ring for the fourth finger of his right hand and the scepter of royalty. Now everything is ready for the actual coronation. The monarch will be seated from its resting place on the altar and put it upon the head of the king. The assemblies will break out into a tumultuous protestation of loyalty in the old familiar words: "God save the king!" Choir and clergy, lords and ladies, all who can and will—and most of them will—then will break forth into a great Te Deum, a Te Deum that will echo throughout the world. The King will return to the chair by the side of his consent that he occupied when the ceremony began and, then, to quote the words of the coronation officer, "is lifted—but not literally—up into his throne." Crowning England's king and the queen consort is no work of a day. It is a atupendous undertaking. It is intended to be impressive. And it cannot fall of that mark Defective Page BETS IT WILL HAIN Kansas Farmer Stakes $30,000 on the Weather. Colby, Kan. "Jim" Fike is trying to get rich betting against the weather. Last August he staked $30,000 on the chance that it would rain within three months. If it had rained, as he bet it would, he would have made a quarter of a million and got his $30,000 back, too. But it didn't rain. The weather is a breakish thing out on this high plateau, and Fike will be mighty if it the $30,000 is returned to him so he has to take other fiver against the weather this year. Fike calls his method of fortune hunting "Gambling against the weather." He has been at it now for five years and has never won. "But," he says, "I'll make the big killing one of these years, just as sure's shootin', and when I do I'll put on patent leather shoes and go to the seashore." Fike has staked $175,000 in five years on the chance that there would rain and seasonable weather to give him a jumper crop of wheat. Each year of this something went wrong, either it didn't enough to start the wheat, right, or. And freeze enough to give it a good stand, or the high winds blew most of it out of the ground, or the drought hindered it from maturing; but there was enough of a crop in the worst of the five years to return him nearly all he had ventured, and in several of the years he made a profit of a mere $20,000 or so. The thing he is after is a crop that will average twenty-five or thirty-five bushels to the acre. If ever he gets that he seashore sure enough, or to any old place, and it is a sure thing that he will get it he stays with the game, for in 1903 "Jim" Fike in the Field. thousands of acres of wheat in this county yielded 42 bushels to the acre and many fields cut 35 bushels and better. You can figure it for yourself. He has 17,000 acres in wheat this year and it was planted won less cost than any other wheat in the state. His traction plows tore the earth, harrowed it and seeded it, all in one operation, at the rate one hundred acres a day. It cost him $3,000 when the 17,000 acres—were in. If he should happen to get an average of 25 bushels to the acre—won't, because the weather won the bet this year—but if he had won and the average yield was 25 bushels to the acre, that would be 425,000 bushels. Oow take your pencil again: 425,000 bushels, that's $425,000; enough profit for there some carloads on patient leather shoes and trips to the seashore and around the world. Fike sat crooked down in his office chair in this town the other day, an old slouch had pulled down over his eye, his muddy boots up on his desk, and he looked through the window at the drizzling rain. "Pity that rain didn't come last fall, Jim," said one of his neighbors. "Y-a-a-," Fike drawled. "But it didn't. 'It's a gamble,' he said. "We've struck five poor years. In a bad year we get six or seven bushels to the acre and bushel pull out. In a good year it's easy to cut 25 to 35 bushels here. In that kind of a year, with the rains coming right, raising wheat in this country is like shooting a bird. In the kind of a year I've been farin'." If I once get it I'll tell old Rockefeller to go chase himself. But it's been a scrap. I've been increase's my acre faster than I've been gettin' wheat. A fair year with, say, fifteen thousand acres in, would make me better than $200,000 clear profit, and a ringer, that's what I am wan't for, a ringer, I'll clean up a good quarter of a million in one crop, and if several good crops follow one after another, as they have done in times past, and my name with the again, you can put in the 'Who's in America' in the 'Who's in America' that book with the red covers and gold letters on the back.

IN COMMAND OF A REGIMENT Princess Victoria Luise of Prussia Wears the uniform of an hon- orary Colonel. Berlin—The charming new portrait of the German emperor's only daugh- ter, the Princess Victoria Luise of Prussia, presents her in the uniform of the Danizg Death's Head Hussars, of which she is the honorary colonel. Princess Victoria Luise was born in the marble place near Potsdam, September 13, 1892, and was carefully brought up in homely fashion, mi- nitely educated by private tutors and thoroughly schooled in the arts of the Princess Victoria Luise. household. The princess can cook and sew and wash and iron, and when a child she delighted in pony riding, rowing and taking part in other outdoor sports and recreations with her militant friends. One of her favorite amusements was to visit the villaage school at Cadine, the emperor's country home near the Baltic, and listen to the exercises. The princess is a blonde, and has blue eyes. She is a typical German girl, and looks like her father. She is tall and of attractive slender appearance, and in military uniform is a striking figure. Three years ago the princess was appointed honorary colonel in the famous Second hussar guard regiment stationed at Danzig, an important seaport on the Vistula. The skull and crossbones on the front bonnet attract from strangers curious, instant attention. The princess was confirmed in October, 1809, the ceremony, which marks the separation of childhood from womanhood, being conducted, by Dr. Drysander, the favorite court praetor. MONUMENT TELLS OF MURDER Stone Found in a Pennsylvania Cemetery Bears a Most Unusual Inscription. Driftwood, Pa.—One of the most unusual inscriptions appearing on a monument is that to be found in the cemetery in Driftwood. It reads as follows: "Warren Mix, born May 27, 1863. Murdered by Robert Clark, April 25, 1894." The two men had quarrel over a boundary. Lime fence and Mix was shot after serving a term in prison was released.

Structure Supposed to Have Been Erected in the Ninth Century is One of the Most Sacred Shrines. Calcutta, India—Four enormous statues of Buddha, nearly 100 feet high, make one of the most striking religious monuments in India, if not in the world. The structure is one of the most sacred shrines in India and it is supposed to have been erected in the Ninth century. Rangoon, Burma, is also famous as having a huge statue of Buddha. The eastern traveler the statue of Buddha is a familiar sight. From Colombo in Ceylon, to Kobe, in Japan, he is everywhere greeted by the same calm, impassive and mysterious face of the eastern preceptor of perfection. But in no city in the Orient do the form and face of Buddha constitute so frequent or so essential a part of the city's decoration as in Rangoon, the starting place of Mr. Kiplinger's famous "Road to Mandalay," the stronghold of Buddhists. Notable even among the countless statues of Rangoon is the mammoth Budda, representing the strange teacher, not standing or sitting cross-legged, as in the majority of statues, but reclining on a huge raised coch, his mighty form stretched out for 200 feet, while his head is mounted at the top of that wonder of the ancient world, the Colosseum of Rhodes, their titanic breadth reaching 50 feet. But one among the wonders of Rangoon, this mighty figure rests near the famous Shoay Dagon, the center of the Burmese Buddhist world, crowned by the golden pagoda, which rises 300 feet above it, its walls covered with pure gold, the gift of a prince, who contributed his weight in gold to the pagoda. In the Shoay Dagon there are countless other statues of Buddha, as well as relics of Gua- Great Statues of Buddha. tama, the last Buddha. All, equally with the huge reclining Buddha, form a part of the religious rites of the Buddhists. For the essence of Buddhism consists in the struggle to become like Buddha, to attain his perfection by obedience to his precepts. Do this it is necessary always to have Buddha in mind, and it is for the Buddha to be the Buddha world is literally crowded his images. Buddha himself is not defined; potentially every Buddhist may attain his perfection, but only by the eternal imitation of his practice. HEROES ARE NOT PENSIONED This Is One of the Forbidden Features of the Business of Life Saving. Boston, Mass.—Few persons know much about the life saver station at dangerous points along the Atlantic coast. What they do, how they live, what sort of men they are. In the first place they are obscurely living fellows, in the second they attract only rarely by some heroic deed. And even in this business the chances for a life saver come seldom. The life saver service pays poorly, judged by most standards. Sixty-five dollars a month for ten months is the pay of every life saver or surman, as he properly is called, except the keeper, who gets $75, and surman No. 1, who gets $70. There are no pensions. Even the man who is crippled for life, in the work is not entitled to a pension. There is at least one record on which such a man was pensioned, but it was through the special interest and command of a president of the United States. Not to be pensioned for disability is the most frightening thing about the life saving service which, by the way, got started under the direction of the treasury department and has been under it ever since. This has kept more men away from it than any other one thing. It argues no lack of courage in a man that he hesitates a long time over this condition, especially if he has others to provide for. Atlantic City, N. J.-Harry Snyder, nineteen years old, is under arrest for using what he terms a "tickler," which is his own invention. When women stopped to look in show windows on the Boardwalk, he reached between the boards of the walk and a long wire and tickled their ankles. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

The confirmation 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. 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. "Those which we style the natural virtues, such as justice, truth, candor, honesty, generosity, the social obligations, etc., form the groundwork both of good citizenship and genuine religion. Without them neither Church nor State can thrive. They are the best bulwarks of democracy. In a community destitute of them, public and official corruption are bound to prosper. Where they flourish strong and vigorous, oppression and graft are foredoomed to speedy death." The foregoing is from the Baltimore Sun, published in that hotbed of injustice, dishonesty and race prejudice. If there is anything needed in that God-forsaken city, it is character. Many of its Caucasian inhabitants, although nominally Christians, spend a lot of their time in devising M. B. Who Celebrated His Silver Wedding Anniversary This Week.

Secretary of the Treasury Under Whose Administration the New $5,000,000 Panama Canal Loan is to be Issued. A Great Success. Bonds Will Go to the People. The government's new three per cent, $50,000,000 Panama canal loan is a complete success and has been oversubscribed more than three times. Practically all of the loan will go to comparatively small investors. The prices bid for the new bonds are taken to inordinate that the national credit of the United States is the highest in the world. The securities of England, Germany and France are selling at a discount and the idea prevailed that the new Panama loan would bring little above par. This is the first government loan since the Civil War which did not have an artificial value because of the national bank circulation privilege attached to them. The new securities are available for investment only and, therefore reflect the credit of the nation. The first bids were opened by Secretary MacVeagh and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury A. Platt Andrew, who has active charge of the issue. Secretary MacVeagh expressed satisfaction at the excellent showing. schemes to humiliate and injure their Afro-American brethren; the segregation law recently enacted being a sample of their efforts in that direction. We trust that the efforts of the Sun to build up character may be successful, in 'order that the natural virtues may prosper and "oppression be foredoomed to speedy death." A short time ago it was published in the daily press with evident pleasure that Champion Jack Johnson was getting a little hard up for cash. The latest, however, comes from London where he has gone to witness the coronation of King George V, and it is said he spent $18,000 in six days, including $5,000 for a diamond and pearl necklace for his wife and $10,000 for a motor car with gold interior fittings. He also has secured seats in one of the most fashionable stands on Pica dilly to witness the coronation procession. This does not look very much like he is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Broadly, the supporters of the clause, prominent among whom was the Prime Minister, defended it on the ground that it followed the principle laid down in the Act of Union. The clause was denounced with passionate earnestness in notably eloquent speeches by Mr. Merriman, Mr. Quinn, Mr. Theo Schriener, and Sir George Farrar. The clause was defended in a rather notable speech by General Hertzog. The clause was carried on a division by 51 votes to 27. GRANDFATHER CLAUSE VOID. Judge John H. Cotteral of the United States District Court at Oklahoma City, Okla., has overruled the demurrier of defendants in the case of the United States against four election officers, holding the "grandfather clause" amendment to the state constitution invalid, because it is in violation of the Fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. The power to grant the right to vote, the Court held, was not given to the Federal Government, but the Fifteenth Amendment decreed that the right to vote should not be denied any person because of "race, color or previous condition of servitude." To make the subjection of certain individuals to the "educational test" dependent on their condition before 1866 would make it dependent on their race and color, the Court held. THE CAPITOL THE WEEK IN WASHINGTON Washington, June 21—It was announced at the White House that Hon. Henry W. Furniss will be continued as Minister to Haiti. He wanted to resign to resume the practice of medicine, but President Taft valued his services so highly that he refused to receive Furniss' resignation and the minister will continue at his post. James Jones an aged Afro-American for many years employed in the Senate stationery room is in danger of losing his place. Jones was the personal servant of President Jefferson Davis, of the Southern Confederacy, and was with him when the Union soldiers effected his capture in Georgia after General Lee's surrender. A year ago Senator Money, of Mississippi, saved old Jim. Other Democrats are going to try to save him this time, but may not succeed, as the Republican steering committee has recommended numerous discharges to cut down the Senate force of employment. Jones claims to be the only man living who knows the great seal of the Confederacy was secreted.

The presentation was made by Mrs. E. C. Palmer. Miss Annie Grinage also delivered an address and Major Charles Douglass presided. "Gee it's h—1 to be an Indian!" That was the substance of the testimony before a House committee of a full blooded Indian, Dr. Carlos Montezuma, who appeared to oppose the plans of the government to transfer his tribe from one reservation in Arizona to lands along Salt River. "Indian reservation life is hell," said Dr. Montezuma "and makes of the Indians beggars, papupers, idlers, gamblers and human ruins." Dr. Montezuma referred sarcastically to the museum of Indian relics at Carlisle Indian School and scoffed at the attempted introduction of courses in Indian art, Indian music and the like at the school. "Who ever heard of Indian art?" he cried. "There is no such thing. The same with Indian music. It is disgusting. Why surround the Indian with conditions from which we are trying to wean him? That is not education at all. When Dr. Montezuma was a bishop, sold him for $30 to a bishop peddler, who deserted him in Chicago when he was sold him. He was not at all dislaughed but started out to make a name for himself and today he has the reputation of being one of the most highly educated Indians in the United States. President Taft has been made first honorary vice president of the American Association for the Conservation of Vision. The First National Bank of Nashville Tenn., home of the Register of the Treasury, Hon. James C. Napier, has ordered 5,000 of the new $1 bills which are soon to be issued with Napier's signature.

Dr. Valdo Turner and J. H. Hickman, Jr., deserve much credit for having furnished the people such an artistic musical treat. The numbers of the musicians, Claude Jackson, the Ladies' Quartette and Mrs. Mattle Campbell deserved especial mention as each was a gem of purest ray serene." Theenceance was generous in its applause, which was fully merited. Mr. Greenlaw left Tuesday for his home in Canada. To Whom This May Concern. Following the suggestions made in the two open letters which appear in this issue, concerning the celebration of the 25th anniversary of my editorship of THE APPEAL, a few days ago, a number of persons concerning the number and enclosed postal cards for replies. Quite a number have been returned, enough in fact, to cause me to feel that the people desire the celebration to be held, and that there is no doubt that a grand success, some have even put forward the tickets, and I have begun the arrangements for holding the same. There is a number, however, of those to whom the letters were sent that have not returned the cards, as they should have been sent by courtesy. They may express their sentiments for or against the proposed celebration as their consciences direct, but they should send the cards. There is no good excuse for not returning the cards as the success of the foregone conclusion, I only wish to know who may be placed in the list of Patrons and Patronesses and on the various committees and I can, of course, only use the names of those who have returned the cards significantly from their acceptance of the conditions. If this meets the eye of any one who has received a card and has not returned it he will do both himself and me a favor by signing and mailing the card at once, and thus he will get in on the ground floor.

Q. Adams' Editorship of the Appeal. St. Paul, Minn., April 24, 1911. Mr. Q. Adams, City. My Dear Mr. Adams; As I had the honor, if such it may be denominated, of being the first editor of THE APPAL, then known as the Western Appeal," I have written. "Western, perhaps, more interest than having evinced by others. Having been so closely connected with its early history, and knowing something of the arduities that surrounded it then, I have been more fully appreciate the efforts you have put forth in maintaining it and conducting it on the high plane upon which it has always stood, than can be more familiar with the business side of it. Since the advent of THE APPEAL there have been a number of publications started in this state under various auspices that passed from the field of action after brief and fittil training. This year, it is still doing business at the old stage. Now, Mr. Editor, as the paper has been in existence since June 1885, and you became associated with it in 1886, this year is the twenty-fifth year of your connection with it as editor and manager, and I believe the fact should entitle you to some special role at the hands of the people whom you have served so long and well. Last year, through your efforts, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of the paper was celebrated in a most fitting manner, and the attainment and saviour edition in conjunction with the paper have never been equaled in Minnesota—nor elsewhere, for that matter. Since it was your able management that maintained the paper, some honor and credit is due you; and, I am one who delights "to do honor unto you," because it is due." And I believe, the people of St. Paul, and throughout the state, will be glad to join in celebrating your twenty-fifth anniversary as editor of THE APPEAL. Your able management of the Quarter-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year, was seen and told by every one who was present; and, if you were to take charge of the matter as you did then, I am confident that the public will feel satisfied that everything that can be done will be done to make the occasion a grand success, and with me the people will willingly say that you yourself will ahead and we'll hold your coat." Very truly yours, F. D. Parker, Minneapolis, Minn., April 25, 1911. J. Q. Adams, Esq. St. Paul, Minn. Since the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of last September, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of THE APPEAL, was such a point of view; and, is remembered, with pleasure, by every one who had the good fortune to be present on that, never-to-beforget, occasion, has occurred to me that an occasion, with delight by all who were present, as well as by those who, for some reason or another, were deceived privilege; and who would not mind theunity if it was again offered to them. I also recall the fact that the twenty-fifth anniversary of your association with THE APPEAL occurs this year; and I feel that this is an event as worthy of being celebrated more so. For, it undoubtedly is owing entirely to your managerial ability and indefatigable labors that THE APPEAL has been enabled to withstand the storms that have wrecked many like ventures upon the rocks of adventure; and it does not matter what it will be fitting and proper for the people of the Twin Cities to show a just recognition of the herculean task you have accomplished in maintaining an organ in their interest for a quarter of a century, by tendering you a testimonial on the twenty-fifth anniversary of your connection with the APPEAL, and noting that in your judgment is more convenient or suitable. I would therefore suggest, if it meets your approval—as I know it will, the patrons of THE APPEAL and your friends generally—that you proceed to carry out that idea along the lines employed in the celebration of THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions to make, as the success of last year's affair, as well as many other social functions that have been under your control, to make possible the ability to manage them "to a queen's taste." therefore, I feel sure you would carry this to a successful issue, if left to follow, the bent of your own inclination. I am satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Minneapolis. Respectfully yours, R. S. Brown, M. D. Some of the people to whom THE APPEAL is as regularly sent as it is to the people of Minneapolis 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 there; there is no compel any one to pay it who receives the principle of law that one must pay for anything he receives. Order- ing a paper discontinued does not pay any amount that may be due and unpaid, and the publisher has the right to send it to the paper until whatever may be paid is fully paid; then an order to discontinue must be obeyed. It is hoped that every one who reads this, that is in contact with the paper, will bring or send to the office the discontinued paper. Every one who receives THE APPAL is expected to pay for it.

PAUL "I can match the story you were telling of the cracker women in North Carolina who use snuff by spreading it over the gums with a chewed stick," said the man from Alaska to the southerner next him, "by telling how miners and soldiers in Alaska the tobacco in the arm pits or against their solar plexus in place of taking it as a smoke or chew. "When the wind is blowing 30 miles an hour and the temperature is 40 below it is some cold, as they say out west. If a man used tobacco in the ordinary way out of doors during such weather and got his lips wet through smoking a pipe or chewing he would be apt to get into trouble. First thing he knew he'd have his lips cracked and they would be raw all winter long. "The regulars statisticized at the military posts up in Alaska found that if they tied a tobacco leaf in their armpit previous to undesired duty they would become very sleek and could pass the post surgeon for hospital, getting rid of detail work they wanted to avoid. "The miners up there learned something of this and found that the tobacco craving could be satisfied by binding a quantity of the leaf either in the armpit or against the solar plexus. This avoided broken and bleeding lips during the winter, and they weren't prevented from smoking indoors as well if they wanted to. It was the outdoor smoking or chewing that made all the trouble. "No. I haven't tried it," said the Alaska man, "but I do know that the habit is very common up north in the long Arctic winter among men who spend their lives in the open. It is the queerest way to use tobacco I know of." SURPRISES IN OIL INDUSTRY Since Time of Drake's Discovery Every New Field Has Added Something New. Since the oil industry began it has been a succession of surprises. Drake's discovery well was a surprise to most persons. Since that time every new field has added something new. For several years every individual well was a revelation. Peculiarities were observed not found in their predecessors. Then the new things were found in localities. It is the same way yet. Oil refuses to abide by the rules and "freak" wells persist. The driller of long experience is constantly expecting something different from anything he has ever encountered. It is this novelty that makes the oil business so fascinating, but the same thing increases the hazard. The latest reported oddity is the discovery of heavy oil in the Caddo deep sand. The opening of a high grade oil field in that locality was a surprise to all and to many a disagreeable one. But when that grade of crude had come to be the expected thing from the deep sand there, a well is drilled in alongside the field that produces oil of 30 degrees gravity from the same sand that yields the oil of high gravity. A few days earlier a well found the light oil in a shallow sand and then caved in and was spoiled. So it will probably go to the end of the chapter. Science can guess at the probabilities below the surface, but until a means is devised to see into the earth for several thousand feet, the X-ray enables us to see through a sheet of steel, the oil business will be uncertain and full of surprises. It is hazardous in all its branches and will continue to be—Oil City Derrick. Milk is now being sterilized in Paris by submitting it to the action of ultra-violet rays, thus avoiding the use of heat or treatment by chemical antiseptic substances. It has long been known that light without heat can destroy micro-organisms, and in 1893 it was proved that from the ultra-violet part of the spectrum there proceeded rays that had a bacterial effect. It was further shown that glass stopped these rays, which, however, passed easily through quartz. It has taken over seven years to turn this knowledge to general use, but now in Paris an apparatus has been made by which ultra-violet rays, through quartz, sterilize 132 gallons of water an hour. After much trouble the sterilizing of milk has been successfully accomplished, although its cohesiveness was at first a difficulty. Negro Picture of Christ HAAS BROS.
