The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1-It aims to publish all the news possible. 2-It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 28. NO. 3. ODD DUTIE UNCLE SA WOMEN C OD DU UNCLE OMEN ODD DUTIES OF UNCLE SAM'S WOMEN CLERKS OU have read many times, if you will recall, that a large share of the work of administering Uncle Sam's business at Washington is in the hands of women. To be sure, none of the most conspicuous executive positions such as those of the president and the heads of the wives and children are yet held by members of the fair sex—although they may be some day if this sage wave continues to roll forward. All the same, many of the most responsible subordinate positions are in the hands of women—married women, single women and widows—and about half of the thousands upon thousands of federal employees who are engaged in clerical work are women. Many of Uncle Sam's feminine assistants perform tasks that are not one with different from those which fall to their sisters can earn their own livelihood in the modern business world. For instance, they operate typewriters or manage telephone switchboards or do any other one of a dozen tasks common to every community in this busy age. On the other hand, however, Uncle Sam has on his payroll a number of women who have old duties. Some of the tasks, indeed, are so novel, that Uncle Sam had to train his own workers for their performance there and there in the ranks of the army of female experts or specialists who have absolutely unique vocations—mistresses of their crafts who have no rivals anywhere in the world. For instance, there is a woman in the employ of the department of state who stands pre-eminent as a “manuscript doctor” or “manuscript surgeon.” Never heard of such a thing, did you? Well, it is a very important line of work for all that there is not a wide market for her services and it is a form of endeavor that is almost invalid to Uncle Sam, who likes to preserve intact the history of the people which have had a bearing upon the history of our nation. Before the government had recourse to the services of this “restorer” many of the most valuable documents (treaties, presidential proclamations, etc.) were fast going to ruin. Age, handling, and frequent foldings that broke the paper had, indeed, already played havoc with a precious relic. After this ingenious woman took hold she accomplished wonders in mendicant work, which were patched and pasted and smoothed out wrinkles and the result is that many of these treasured mementoes are, to all appearances, literally as good as new. A very interesting line of work in which Uncle Sam has recruited a corps of especially adept women workers is fine book binding. In ordinary practice most bookbinding nowadays is done by machinery. That is the way it is done at the government printing office where there is maintained one of the biggest bookbinding plants. This is the answer, the government has some books that it design and bound with the costliest materials and with good value than can be bestowed upon the machine-made product. This hand-work is performed for the most part by women and some of the moroccobound volumes which they have turned out in recent years would arouse all sorts of enthusiasm were they to be exhibited at any of those expositions of women's handicraft which are held from time to time. The women of making Uncle Sam's paper money and postage stamps is full of odd tasks and many of them are performed by women. The women—hundreds of them—assist in printing the precious product and they have an ideal field in which to develop their superior deftness of fingering in the counting and recounting of the money in the making. The newlyprinted currency is counted no less than half a hundred times ere Uncle Sam sends it out to the people, and women do most of this enumeration. The women are sheets of money and stamps for the tiny defenses of printing, and this requires a keenness of vision almost unbelievable in its accuracy. When the solled currency, tattered and torn, is sent back to Uncle Sam as unfit for further usefulness, it is other women at the treasury department who have to count it and check up the returns. Connected with this office—the redemption division, are a few women whose work is perhaps the most miraculous of all the wonders tasks performed by the women at Washing-tasks store is to identify the denomination of partially owned paper that no ordinary individual would regard as any kind of waste paper. Currency that has been chewed by dogs, notes that have been torn into bits and even charred paper money that has been all but consumed by the flames is taken in hand by these wizards and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred they manage to ascertain the denomination of the damaged bit of pulp or paper and Uncle Sam reimburces the unfortunate owner. in line with the detective work of these money sleuths is the intuition (you cannot call it any ```markdown ``` THE APPEAL.

A woman with a decidedly odd job is Mrs. Leroy, who is employed in the land office and who received $1,200 a year for simply signing the name of William H. Taft, all day long, every working day in the week. The law requires that the signature of the president shall appear on every land patent. Of course the chief magistrate cannot sign all these papers in person. If she would not have time for anything else, so the lady and the land office acts as his proxy and gets a tidy land office monotonous work. The highest salaried woman in the service (or probably in the service of any republican in earth) is Mrs. Margaret V. Kelly, who is examiner of the United States mints and who receives the fancy salary of $2,000 a year. She reserves it, however, because she has spent many years in the mint bureau and probably knows more about the administration of Uncle Sam's coin factories than any other living person. evening.

Defective Page FEMININE WORKER MAKING CURRENCY OR PAPER MONEY thing less) of the so-called "blind readers" of the United States postoffice department. These women are made the wardens of the wafts of the mails—the letters that no postmaster or letter carrier can deliver because, try as they may, they cannot make out the name or address of the women for whom they are intended. Sometimes the dildes are misspelled, but more often the puzzling letter originates with some person whose education is deficient or has been sent by a resident of a foreign country who could not get through his head, our American system of towns and counties and states and who mixes things up so that no ordinary individual could make head or tail out of the hodge-podge. The "blind readers" take these puzzles and by a magic which comes from experience and which they cannot themselves explain they decipher the writing and set the letter on its way to the proper destination. Uncle Sam has a number of very clever women artists on his roster and though you may never have heard the names of any of them you have, most of you, seen and admired the work they do. For one thing they paint those splendidly realistic pictures of fruit and birds and insects, etc., which are reproduced in color in the publications of the department of agriculture. Some of these women are experts in the coloring of magic lantern slides and you know Uncle Sam has come to use lantern slides and moving pictures very extensively in order to educate the people regarding the work he is doing in their behalf. Finally these women have shown their skill in American scenery which Uncle Sam has exhibited at every one of the big expositions held in this country in some years past. Entitled to recognition along with these artists is Uncle Sam's woman sculptor. Mrs. Otto Heidemann is a portrait sculptor of no mean ability, as is amply attested by her recently-completed bust of Claria Barton, the founder of the Red Cross society. However, her work for Uncle Sam is confined to the odd occupation of making models of bugs. These reproductions of insects are many times as large as the insects themselves—a common house fly being represented as much larger and heavier and there is consequently opportunity for the most creative use of coloring. The counterfeit bugs of giant size are made from wire, thread, wax, celluloid, papermache, rubber and a special kind of gauze, and despite the frail appearance of the figures it has been found that they are really very stanch and will well withstand the shocks incident to shipment from place to place. Among other odd jobs in the government service held by women are those of two "waste basket examiners" at the treasury department. These women are paid $480 a year each just to pull over the scraps of paper, red tape and other discarded articles that find their way into the waste baskets in the biggest of financial institutions. In Sam's case, she is ear for the waste paper that sort they over her waffle to pay them for their odd sorting of refuse, but there is another and better reason and one that makes it an economy instead of an extravagance. The real object of this supervision of the waste baskets is to guard against the loss of money or valuable papers that might inadvertently slip into the baskets. And that this is no idle precaution, either, is eloquently proven by the fact that not so very long ago one of these women recovered $10,000 from a waste baskets item. PLAN SUMMER HOME Colorado Citizens Would Provide Mansion for President. Drawings Have Been Finished for a Veritable Palace of Picturesque Design for Occupancy by the Chief Executive. Denver, Colo.—The citizens of Colorado have started a campaign to provide for the president of the United States a summer home in this state. The plans, which have already been completed, call for a veritable palace of most original and picturesque design, the like of which does not exist in this country. It will take rank with any of the existing palaces of European monarchs. The idea originated with John Bribesen Walker, and a committee of prominent Colorado men is now in charge of the movement. The proposed home is on the Mount Falcon, 15 miles from Denver, in the front range of the Rockies. It is planned to make the gift a token from the people of Colorado, and contributions are now coming in from all over the state. The fund was started by subscriptions from leading bankers and business men in Denver. Ground has already been broken and it is believed that the building will be conceived in time for the next summer season. During his recent visit to Denver, President Taft was apprised of the summer home plan, and expressed the opinion that no locality could offer finer natural attractions for such a structure. The proposed house will be unique in many ways and exceedingly attractive. The plans call for a noble and massive structure of gray granite, contrasting with the natural setting for the building. The house will provide ample room for the president's attendants and assistants. Automobiles would bring the summer home with forty minutes of Denver. The view that the site of the building commands is its strongest feature, and it is this that was strongly urged in making a choice of sites. Amons The Proposed House. all the wonderful and beautiful scenic spots within a short distance of Denver, Mount Falcon, perhaps, stands pre-eminent. From the north terrace of the mountain, upon which the drawing-room and library will open, the steep mountain side, wooded with pines, drops down 2,000 feet into the rushing waters of Bear creek; to the south, 75 miles away, is Pike's peak. Denver lies 14 miles away to the northeast. When a passing cloud covers the city with its shadow, the plains seem barren of houses. Then suddenly the sunlight pierces through, and a great city stands revealed. PLACES MONEY IN SHOE BOX Woman Miatakes Receiptable in a New York Hotel for Safety Deposit Vault.

When she awoke next morning the gems and money were missing. Soon afterward William Peterson, a hotel valet, turned up with the $200 and the missing jewelry. "When she arrived, I found for the shoes at a 2. m.," said he, "if found this money and jewelry in the box where the shoes are placed." Smoker Stricken Blind Venice, III—Martin Conway, an excavating contractor, inspecting work on the river levee here, stopped suddenly and raised his hands to his eyes. He tried for a moment to rub away the thick mist that had suddenly fallen over his vision. A moment before he had been looking over the long dike, without a thought of any impairment of his sight. Now he is totally blind. His friends believe Conway's constant smoking affected the optic nerve, causing the sudden breakdown. THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by ruling or elique. 6-It asks no support but the people. IS IDOL OF THE TEACHERS New York—Grace C. Strachan is considerable of a heroine among the 14,000 women who teach in the schools of New York. She is president of the Interborough Association of Women Teachers and was a leading advocate in the long struggle which resulted in equal pay for teachers regardless of sex. In New York as elsewhere in American cities women predominate in the teaching force, but until lately what men were employed received larger salaries. The women believed they should receive the same remuneration GRACE G. STRACHAN as men doing similar work and finally they won out. But the victory has not been altogether without its drawbacks. Heretofore, because of the difference in salaries demanded, the tendency has been to exclude the men in favor of the women wherever possible. Now, however, the salaries being equal, the women find themselves differentiated against whenever men teachers are procurable. The number of the latter, however, is limited, and not very many women find themselves excluded from the better positions. Out of the campaign for the passage of the equal pay bill have grown many charges of the corrupt use of money. Miss Strachan held in New York Miss Strachan denied had spent $100,000 to bring about the passage of the equal pay law. Miss Strachan denies that any of this money was paid to influence legislation. Most of it went to lawyers. On the other hand Owen Behan has been charged before the grievance department of the Bar association with having raised a corruption fund to further legislation for the men teachers. CROCKETT'S LONE STAR HOME Old House Near San Antonio Treasured as a Memorial to the Texas Hero. San Antonio, Tex—Davy Crockett's old home in Texas in the vicinity of San Antonio is treasured as a memorial to the Lone Star hero whose adventurous career in the early days of the west is filled with many thrilling events. As one of the defenders of the Alamo he has won fame as a martyr to liberty. He was one of the six survivors who surrendered to the Mexican general, Santa Anna, and was shot after the surrender by Santa Anna's orders. Crockett's career has furnished the theme for many a thrilling tale of the frontier. He was born in Tennessee in 1768, and his voyages spent in hunting and pioneer work in the western part of that state. He was elected to con- Davy Crockett's Home. gress from that state in 1826, but his opposition to certain of Jackson's measures resulted in his defeat in 1820. He joined the Texans in the struggle for independence from Mexico in 1836, and was one of the famous 140 who defended the Alamo at the cost of their lives. UMBRELLA ROUT$ A FOOTPAD Plucky Pennsylvania Young Woman Beats Bold Purse Grabber Till He Runs Away. Altoona, Pa.—Instead of screaming and then fainting when she was held up on her highwayman while on her way home with the nurse in her purse, Miss Margaret Dixon, a pretty auditor in a shoe store, courageously repelled the insoleent fellow. She was carrying a closed umbrella, and when the footpad attempted to wrest her handbag from her grasp, she bravely began beating him over the head. The attack took him by surprise, and he was on the run before he knew it, and there was not a single pedestrian in sight. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR: GETS STARVED ROCK State of Illinois Buys Historic Tract for $46,000. People Gain Possession of the Pictun asque Site on Illinois River Where the Indians Made Their Last Stand. Ottawa, Ill.—Starved Rock passed into the hands of the state of Illinois recently, when negotiations were concluded between the Illinois park commission and Ferdinand Walther of Chicago, who has owned the property for the past 22 years. The papers signed and exchanged show that the state paid the sum of $46,000 for the 280-acre tract, which it is expected will prove to be the nucleus of one of the finest state parks in the country. The new state park preserve lies ten miles west of Ottawa on the south side of the Illinois river, and in addition to Starved Rock proper consists of precipitous cliffs, canyons and glens which rival many of America's most famous scenic wonders. No spot in Illinois is richer in history than legend than Starved Rock, which was visited by the early French missionary explorers and was also the scene of numerous bloody conflicts between Indian tribes. Upon its lofty summit the Illinois warriors made their last stand and after being starved were finally exterminated by their enemies. The fight for the acquisition of Starved Rock by the state for park purposes may be said to date back to the forty-sixth general assembly, although there was considerable previous agitation in favor of the movement. At that session of the legislature an act was passed authorizing the appointment of a commission to investigate and report on the preservation of certain lands for public parks, and an appropriation of $1,000 made to pay the expenses of the commission. The members of the commission which closed the deal are Prof. J. A. VIEWS OF SERVED ROCK James of Evanston, A. Richards of Ottawa and the Rev. D. L. Crowe of Kewanee. The boundaries of the park district, including 1,155 acres, were laid out by Mr. Richards, secretary of the commission. This tract has a frontage of five miles along the river, extending from the Utica bridge to the South Ottawa township line, including Flasher's cave and Salt Well. The balance of this property is owned by about twenty people and options have been secured on practically all of it. No provision or appropriation has been made for the employment of help at Starved Rock or for the maintenance or improvement of the property. HAVE COURSE IN MATRIMONY High School Girls Taught Courtship, Mothercraft, and Domestic Science in Los Angeles, Cal. Los Angeles Cal.-A course of matrimony has been included in the curriculum of the Gardens High school here. Five classes of girls are daily taking advantage of instruction in courtship, matrimony, the care of babies, mothercraft and domestic science. It is planned that boys in Los Angeles shall be permitted to take the course next year, but some doubt is expressed about the need of this. It is important that the form of the course" will be so adopt in the matter of courtship and marriage by the end of the year that she will have little difficulty in imparting her knowledge to the less deadly male. The girls are taught how to deport themselves during courtship, and instructed in household management, home dietetics, housekeeping acclimatization, millinery, and even in such practical duties as plumbers are supposed to do their work and how much they should be paid.

True chivalry and gallantry are virtues which are really so rare nowadays that to find a man possessing them both, in a high degree, is something wonderful. To go to the aid of a beautiful woman in distress might smack of these virtues, when selfishness really is the prompting motive. The true test is where these virtues are exhibited unprompted by selfish motives. There was just such a case in Washington, D. C., a few days ago, in which Representative Kendall of Iowa was the hero. When Mr. Kendall alighted from a street car at a busy corner, he saw two white men addressing profane language to an old Afro-American woman, who was carrying a basket of freshly laundered clothes. Presently one of the men struck the woman, felling her. The contents of her basket were scattered in the snow and slush. Mr. Kendall landed his fast squately on the jaw of the assailant and laid the man motionless in the snow. Then he assisted the unfortunate woman in restoring the clothes to the basket. Had the woman in question been W. H. Sets at Rest Reports That He Would Decline Ronomination. Says Nothing but Death Will Bar His Candidacy. Vigorous Campaign Planned. white, there would not have been anything extraordinary in Representative Kendall's action, but as she was old, black and poor, he certainly must be very inch a man. We have not the honor of a personal acquaintance with the honorable gentleman, but if we were in reaching distance we would chance and shake his hand. Iowa may well be proud of having such a man to represent her in Congress, and we would to God that there were more like him everywhere. Not being a resident of his district, we cannot vote for him, but should he never be a candidate for president of the United States, he will get my vote and the votes of all the Afro-American voters. Again we say, Three Cheers for Representative Kendall. of Speaker Clark to use the chamber of the House of Representatives for a lecture, to be delivered by herself, on new and important discoveries relating to tuberculosis. She was informed that it would be difficult to grant her request, as it would require unanimous consent of all the members to use the hall for any other purpose than a meeting place for representatives. She said that she would have a resolution introduced so that the matter might be put up to the House. RISING IN CIVILIZATION. Reports from Portuguese Africa are to the effect that the natives, tiring of the horrible cruelties inflicted upon them by the Portuguese, have revolted. It is said that several officials were burned alive. It seems that the efforts of the Portuguese to civilize(?) the poor benighted heaten have been in vain and it will not be many years before the African natives will have been elevated to the plane of the Caucasians of the Southern states. We do not read so much nowadays in the great daily newspapers of the country, about the "Criminal Negro." The confessions of Beattie, the Virginia wife murderer, the McNamara dynamiters, Preacher Richeson, who murdered his sweetheart, and a number of other Caucasian fiends have stopped the output of lies about Afro-Americans by the newspaper writers. That the late Justice John M. Harlan was an honest man, as well as a very able jurist, is evidenced by the very small estate he left at his death His estate was valued at $13,000, and $7,200 of that was life insurance. It is quite reasonable to believe that he had no "itching palm," as so many other men have. The Taft Boom has reached Chicago, with the subcommittee having in charge all of the arrangements for the Republican National Convention which meets June 18th. Every member of the committee favors the renomination of President Taft. The copperhead Chicago Tribune glbtss over the fact that there is a color line in South Africa. For many years the Tribune has exerted its influence to arouse race prejudice in Chicago, and a recent editorial shows that it is very happy in having discovered in Africa a precedent for separate schools in Chicago.

Again we say, Three Cheers for Representative Kendall! MUSICIATED MUST EXERCISE Some of the alleged Christian missionaries in the Far East are very much exercised over reports of the recent entertainment of Admiral Togo, in this country, and have protested against lavish entertainment of oriental dignitaries, and particularly against entertainment on Sundays. The ground for the protest is that "we are a nominally Christian nation and distinguished guests from the Far East have difficulty in reconciling our liberal uses of Sunday, with the teachings of Christian missionaries in the Orient." That's all a lot of buncombe. The missionaries, many of whom have gone to the Orient to teach "jim crow" religion to the natives do not wish to have prominent men of the various colored races treated with consideration, because it puts "wrong ideas into their minds," and makes them they are as good as white people. The best way to convince the colored peoples of the world of the sincerity of the missionaries, and of the people of this country, who furnish the money to support the missionaries, is to abolish the color line, right here at home and give the Afro-American a square deal in everything and not attempt to convert him in "jim crow" institutions. Caucasian American Christianity is all right until it reaches the color line and then it is all wrong.

TAFT MEN PLAN CONVENTION NATIONAL SESSION ARRANGEMENTS IN CHARGE OF HIS FRIENDS City Schools to Be Social Centers Gets Rich Selling Candy on Streets Take Revenge by Clipping Girl's Hair The arrangements for the Republican national convention are in the hands of a sub-committee of the Re-legislature of a national committee, which is for the renaming of President Taft from start to finish. A straightaway poll of the committee was taken behind closed doors at the initial session at the Congress in 1912, and Indiana said every man announced his preference for Taft. The one missing committeeman was David Mulvane of Kansas, who is snowbound en route to Chicago. He is credited by the other committee as being absolutely pre-Taft. Hayward Elected Secretary The subcommittee completed its organization, which was started immediately after the adjournment of the national committee meeting in Washington, D.C., the Nebraska, secretary of the national committee, as secretary of the subcommittee on arrangements.

Stone will arrive in Arlington to open the Congress hotel headquarters and expect to remain on the job until the sine die adjournment of the convention. In the interim, the headquarters of the subcommittee will be established at the office of Secretary Hayward of the First National Bank building. The first matter considered by the subcommittee when it convened was hotel rates. Representatives of all of the leading hotels were summoned and an agreement was reached between them, which was approved subsequently by the subcommittee, as to the maximum charge be charged during convention week. Visitors Assured of Fairness. There was perfect harmony of ac- CHICAGO—Thirteen public school buildings will be opened in Chicago soon as neighborhood social centers. For the first time in its history the Chicago board of education will offer to persons not of common school age some of the benefits that the presence of school buildings may bring to a neighborhood. This decision will be reached at a recent meeting of the board's committee on social centers. To help the people get their money's worth out of expensive equipment used only a few hours out of the day is the object of the innovation. At variance with persons who would have the use of school property and resources restricted entirely to educational purposes, the committee of the board intends to maintain places of residence for people of a neighborhood accept the opportunities offered to them. "Our idea in opening these social centers," said Dean Sumner, in explaining the new policy, "is to learn if there is a demand for the use of schools by adults. If there is such a demand or if we can create it, we shall develop the centers into evening meeting places for parents' clubs, for I THINK ILL RETIRE NEW YORK—The wind-swept corner at Broadway and Fulton street is soon to lose one of its two old outdoor merchants. Phil Roman, the rubber stamp man, contemplates a future of solitude, and the sparrows in St. Paul's churchyard one of hunger, for Adam Schmalzer, friend and mentor to Phil and chief hospital to the sparrows, is going to retire. Profits accruing from the sales of a million penny sticks of candy have made Adam financially independent after thirty years, and he has realized it suddenly. Phil will tell you, with a look in his eyes that belies his words, that he is 'glad old Adam has got some sense at last—old-hogter retired long ago.' Adam has not been "old Adam" to 0 KLAHOMA CITY, Okla.—Barbara Weaver, the 15-year-old girl who was shorn of her locks as she lay asleep, lost her clown of glory because she was "stuck up." It is strongly suspected that the vandals who snipped off one of her silken braids were two boys, former playmates of hers, who resented what they regarded as her growing tendency toward aristocracy. Little Miss Weaver is the daughter of Claude Weaver, an attorney, who is considered wealthy. Barbara Weaver had been on friendly terms with the children in the neighborhood of the family home, but is said to have gained the idea of late that her social standing did not permit of her continuing such relations. Two of her cast-off friends are believed to have adopted the "rape of the lock" idea to express their resentment of these high-flown notions. This theory is strengthened by the fact that Cynthia Powell, a girl of Barbara's age, who attended school with her, received a "Black Hand" letter recently, threatening her with tion between the hotel men and the members of the committee," Chairman New said. "The hotel rates will not be advanced over the ordinary rates and the delegates and the visitors to the convention may come to Chicago and be assured that they will not be robbed." Chairman New said a printed schedule of hotel and restaurant rates will be prepared under the joint co-operation of the hotel men and the subcommittee and sent through the national organization, with the guarantee of the local convention committee and the subcommittee committee that its figures will not be altered. **Seating Plans Rearranged.** Rearrangement of the seating scheme for the delegates and alternates was found necessary in going over the plans for the arrangement of the Coliseum as a convention hall. The new congressional apportionment has responded increase in the number of delegates and alternates to the convention. The same general seating plan for the convention hall was adopted as was employed in 1908, with the speakers' platform at the south end of the convention hall delegates' and alternates' seats stretching back toward the north end. Architect Brown reported that it would be impossible to add more seats than were provided last year, the result being that the alternates' section would rear aisle, as it was arranged in 1908. No Contracts Yet Awarded. No contracts were awarded at the session of the committee. Representatives of badge manufacturers and the manufacturers were approved for the final approval of the architect's plan and the letting of all the contracts was postponed until a meeting of the subcommittee in Chicago in the early part of March. The members of the subcommittee were Chairman Harry S. Newell of Indiana, William Hayward of Nebraska, Sergeant at Arms William F. Stone of Maryland, Committeemen Arthur I. Vors of Ohio, Franklin Murphy of New Jersey, Riverosewater of Nebraska, E. William E. Duncan, E. C. Duncan of North Carolina. social organizations and for civic debating societies, all under the direction of the principal of the center, who is also the principal of the school. "Last year we conducted ten school buildings as centers for children. "Each of the centers for the children was provided with a principal and six teachers. Parents came in swarms with their children and so they really made use of the buildings as social centers for adults before the privileges were formally given to them. "For the children we shall continue the privilege of recreation in the old schools and in those added this year. In the same buildings the older people will be urged to form social clubs, hear lectures, attend dances, join in advanced gymnasium work and hear and participate in debates." Phil very long. When he came to the corner in 1881 the rubber stamp man called him the "kid," for Phil then had been doing business at the old stand for something like twelve years. Adam wasn't at the corner when a reporter went to see him the other day. Phil was standing guard over both stands. "Yes," he admitted, "Adam, he's going to quit. Thirty years I've seen him come and go. Six o'clock in the morning I'd see him come across Broadway lugging his candy case from the basement where he kept it. "Guess there's more money in candy than it is in rubber stamps. Now Adam's to go, I quit, too, if I could afford it." "My dad was the first man to sell lemonade on the streets of New York City. My grandfather was a sidewalk merchant, and a good one, too. Maybe I've been a little luckier than they, I've been able to give my girl and boy good educations and they are married now," old Adam said. In the thirty years at the church corner Adam has missed just five days. MAMA OH MA dire things unless she continued to speak to two boys of the neighborhood who are under suspicion. She was a beautiful auburn and was long and silky. In preparing it for the night it was her practice to arrange it in two long braids. Miss Rosabell Teder sleeps in the same room with her, and discovered on awakening that one of the beautiful braids was missing. Hastily awakening her companion, they began a search and found the braid on the floor beside the bed. Miss Weaver's parents were aroused, and the poets were notified. Later the other braid was found. Miss Weaver's hair now presents a Duster Brown effect. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. Atlanta, Ga.

Very few lady composers have met with such great success as has Henrietta Blanke-Belchier, who for the past ten years has been one of the principal writers for Jerome H. Remick & Co. She first made a reputation as a waltz writer, and some of her waltzes, especially the new "Polaire Waltzes," are having a world-wide popularity. On the program of the coronation ball recently given in London these waltzes put on just before the invitation, and comment was made that it is the number on the dancing program written by an American composer. She has lately written some very high-class songs, and the song, Love Dreams, is one of the popular songs of the day. Her latest and probably her best song, My Only One, is, however, destined to outvival in popularity, it will appeal to almost all music lovers, and not alone to those who only see merit in the modern classics. The lyric is worthy of the setting that Miss Belchier gave it, will appeal to those who seek merit in both the words and music of a song. We append the refrain: The stars above may shine so bright, my only one! But you will be my guiding light, my only one! Your presence, dear, means more to me Than all the dreams of life to be; Your kiss is blissful ecstacy. My only one! My only one! To Whom This May Concern I, the undersigned, have been informed that there is a rumor going around in which it is claimed that I am married. I wish to state that said rumor is absolutely without foundation in fact, as I am not now and have never been married. No such good fortune has overtaken me. Arthur Winstead. Phone Cedar 8101. 185 E.

PAUL, MINN. Cathrine Countiss in "The White Sister" at the Grand Next Week. Whole Mary when she should become of age. Mary came of age last spring and a search was instituted by her uncles in Glasgow with no result. A short time ago the search was revived. Verna Rhodes, another sister, had come from her home in British Columbia to Luelia and Mary Trigs, living in Indianapolis, Ind., until twelve years ago, when Verna went West. She and Luelia corresponded about twice a month for four years. Luelia having moved in the meantime to Whitehall, Ind. Then the correspondence suddenly ended, and Luelia has not been heard from since. Verna communicated with the police of Whitehall, advised her that Luelia had returned to Luelia, and the search was instituted for her three hires, trace was found. The search has been revived from time to time, without result. The Rhodes sisters and their brothers in Glasgow are the only relatives living of Jane Rhodes, who left the property. They believe their sister Luella dead, because relations between them were always amicable, and they think they would have heard from her if she were living. What has become of the niece, who is heirless to the property, is equally a mystery. The Rhodes, a brother, is now in charge of the farm properties in Glasgow and is searching for his lost sister and niece. Anything the Matter With Your Stoves?

BESIDES YOU WILL AID A GOOD CAUSE. "THE WHITE SISTER" The Next Attraction at the Grand Opera House. The enormous financial success of "The White Sister," in which Catherine Countis is starred by Stair and Havlin—with its massive stage production used by Viola Allen—is significant that deep in their hearts American playgoers cherish the love for clean, wholesome drama. "The White Sister," to be seen at the Grand, week commencing Sunday matinee, Jan. 21 is as sweet and pure as the snow-white robes of its Dominican Nuns, and it thrills and vibrates, with intense emotion. It is theatrical history that the profits of this play, during its two years in the high-priced houses, reached nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Its commercial value at the lesser scale is still enormous. The appealing charm disclosed by Miss Countis last season in "The Awakening of Helena Ritchie"; her temperamental fitness for the role of Sister Giovan; her musical diction and tear-compelling sweep of pathos—all influenced Stair and Havlin in securing for her this remarkable play. A superior company of distinctive class, and the beauty of the scenic effects, costumes and incidental music, will aid in making this one of the most notable of the season. Miss Countis will be remembered here by her Twin City appearances with Stock Companies at the Metropolitan and Grand.

GOOD SHOES The Horsheim SHOE For the man who cares STANLEY SHOE CO. 421 Robert Street, St. Paul SOME AMAZING MARRIAGES Among Insects the Bride First Devours a Certain Number of Her Suitors. The marriage customs of insects are dreadful, and, coortry to what happens in every other world, here it is the female of the couple who stands for strength and intelligence, and also for cruelty and tyranny, which appear to be their inevitable consequence. Almost every wedding ends in the violent and immediate death of the husband. Often the bride first eats a certain number of suitors. The type of these fantastic unions could be supplied by the Languedocian scorpions, who, as we know, carry lobster claws and a long tail supplied with a sting, the prick of which is extremely dangerous. They have a prelude to the festival in the shape of a sentimental stroll, claw in claw; then, motionless, with fingers still gripped, they contemplate each other blissfully, intermimably; and day and night pass over their ecstasy, while they remain face to face, petrified with admiration. Next, the foreheads come together and touch; the mouths—if we can give the name of mouth to the monstrous office that opens between the claws—are joined in a sort of kiss; after which the union is accomplished, the male is transfixed with a mortal sting and the terrible spouse crunches and gobbles him down with relish. But the Mantis, the eestatic insect with the arms always raised in an attitude of supreme invocation, the horrible Mantis regilosa, or praying insect, does better still; she eats her husbands (for the insatiable creature sometimes consumes seven or eight running) while they press her passionately to their heart. Her inconceivable kisses devour, not metaphorically, but in an appallingly real fashion, the tilted choice of her soul or her stomach. She begins with the head, goes down to the thorax, and does not stop till she comes to the hind legs, which she deems too tough. She then pushes away the unfortunate remains, while a new lover, who was quietly awaiting the end of the monstrous banquet, heroically comes forward to undergo the same fate.—Maurice Maertinck in the Forum. SHOCK OF BIG GUN FIRING Deafness is a Sure Result and Nerves and Senses are Terribly Strained. One of the penalties attendant on firing off big guns is deafness. So sure is this penalty to be exacted that, it is asserted, no man can go through a long series of gunnery practice without having his hearing affected. A stranger on deck who hears a big gun speak for the first time will not soon forget the stunning report. One gun is enough to startle a stranger, but the shattering effect of the whole armament when in action together can hardly be conceived. The strain upon nerves and senses when the rending concussion takes place is terrible. There is not a great difference between the effect of the big guns and that of the smaller pieces, strange as it may seem. If the visitor places himself beside one of the smaller guns, and then listens to the roar of the big one, the sound will not appear much louder than that of the gun by his side. The extra distance to the muzzle of the big piece discounts the sound. The only apparent difference between the two will be that the smaller piece has a sharper, high-pitched tone, and that the big guns speak with a more bellowing roar. If one watches the firing of the gun the crash has not such a startling effect as when it comes unexpectedly. Loud as it is, nature has prepared the watcher to resist the shock which he knows is impending. No More Room. The elevator slipped rapidly by one floor after another, while many inmates of a large office building rang the bell and demanded to be carried to the street. It was the noon hour and every one at the elevator shaft was anxious to get luncheon. The elevator seemed to be only half filled. Actually there were three girls and a man in it who had got on at the fifteenth floor. "Filled up," shouted the operator, as he sped by the angry crowd at the door. Finally he reached a floor where one of the officers of the company had his office, and the man was there and wanted to go down. He shouted to him, "Filled up," and the man said something positive. Then the operator added: "Filled up with hats." Oxford, which Lord Curzon desires to "reform," has traveled very far from the condition of things observed by a German explorer toward the end of the eighteenth century. He had arrived at the city at midnight and was introduced by a Good Samaritan to the Mitre. Here, to his intense astonishment, he saw several gentlemen in academic dress seated round a table, each with a pot of beer in front of him. "My health," says the traveler, "was drunk in strong ale. At last, as morning drew near, one of the company exclaimed rather emphatically, 'I must read prayers this morning at All Souls.'"—London Chronicle. "Did he have any luck on his fishing trip?" "Enough to keep him in conversation for several weeks." "Will you be kind enough to remove your hat, madam?" the usher asked at the summer theater in an unstyling whisper. "Why should I?" the woman asked. "There is nobody behind me. Who wants me to take my hat off?" "That man back there." "But it doesn't obstruct his view of the stage. I am three seats to the right of him." "That is true, ma'am, but you cut off his view of the women in the right lower box. That seems to be what he is interested in." 3:30 PM FOR QUICK DELIVERY Hamm's LEADS THEM ALL MONTANA MEAT MARKET G. H.
