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. 10. A TREASU ISLAND by GRANVILLE FORTESCUE TREA LAND GRANVILLE FOR A TREASURE ISLAND by GRANVILLE FORTESCUE REASURE ISLAND was an alternative name well fitted for the bit of sea-surrounded land that lits 60 miles south of the coast of Cuba charted as the Isle of Pines. Whether this island was the scene of the novelist Stevenson's thrilling story leads to academic discussion in which the staged scene would be the miles of golden groves with sturdy trees bending low under the burden of their fruit. Here is pictured proof of the treasure in the soil. Thousands of acres of low-priced pasture land, magic-like, have been metamorphosed into valued grape-fruit orchards. A Spanish penal colony has been changed to a prosperous self-rellant American community. Such is the transformation accomplished by a handful of pioneers working under many discouragements, not the least of which is the sense of injustice done then by their own. The Isle of Pines, an appanage of Cuba, has filled an interesting page in history, and from its DOCK SCENE AT PULEVA GERONIA MAP OF THE ISLE OF PINES first discovery it has been the scene of incidents curious and varied. Las Casas, who chronicled the story of the Columbus voyages in his Historia de las indias, writes that the admiral discovered the island during his second voyage, in June, 1904, John the Evangelist's day, therefore naming it "Evangalista." We are told that Columbus only stopped to stock his ships with wood and water, making a hurried departure, for a fear that impelled them to the verge of mutiny reigned in the minds of his sailors. This fear was due to the curious appearance of the shallow seas to the north of the island, where the water is so clear that bottom, a sand-white carpet with great dark patches marking seawood growth, is diurnally visible. It was these dark patches that frigidely the mariner, for in their ignorance they thought them openings in the ocean's bed wherein their barks might sink at any moment. Navigators bisect the isle with longitude 83 degrees 30 minutes west and latitude 21 degrees 40 minutes north, where it makes a patch of earth 45 miles round," rounding from a light-green sea. The geology of the islet is remarkable because in its small area it gives us two examples of how Nature works in her land-making laboratory. The northern section, about 600,000 acres, is the result of what might be called the explosive system, volcanic, with marble hills and spurs of quartz and limestone, all telling the story of the island origin in their formation, while the northern part by a swamp, which be named the cumulative system, coral. It is really two islands, the "South Coast" as it called, being joined to the island proper by the narrowest neck of land, often submerged. This "South Coast" merits a brief description, for it holds the setting of a jungle wilderness save the fauna, and it has formed itself by a highly interesting series of developments. The basic foundation is coral rock. To arrive at an idea of its composition picture a bed of soft stone leached until it seems a great gray sponge-like area, the perforations varying in shape, size, and other dimensions with all the characteristic irregularity of the porifera. This jagged porous surface is covered with a sea-born soil, which with the perforations of ages has become surpassing fertile area, the perforations increasing accumulation of decayed vegetation. Yet from this top soil, with a "subsoll" of rock, tower, hardwood trees—mahogany, cedar, and indigenous wood—all surrounded by the dense underbrush of an almost impenetrable tree. How the poor soil conditions can support such luxuriant vegetation is something of a mystery. A possible explana- T THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1912. LONG ACTIVE LIFE Veteran of Editorial Ranks Is D. George Brown. Founder of the First Free State Newspaper Published in Kansas—Remembers the Exciting Days of Border Warfare. There is living today in Illinois man who played a large part in the making of Kansas history. He is D. George Brown, who came to Lawrence in 1854 and there established the Heald of Freedom, the first free state newspaper ever published in Kansas. Today Dr. Brown is almost the la tion lies in the fact that the wandering roots of the trees that stretch over the coral, as though they were great entwining tentacles, draw life for the trunk from epoch of the island's history was when it served as a sort of "slave-fattening" depot. In the days when the traders in "black ivory" found the difficulties of their profession increasing in the ratio of prejudice against slave holding their profits, they were forced to rectify this loss in a measure by bringing a more valuable article to the available markets. The negroes shipped from the Kongo were often in poor health, and their condition became pitiful before they reached their journey's end. Imagine the effect of a six-weeks' voyage, crowded under the tropics. Contrast the joy of these unfortunate when they reached fields of a beautiful land, with abundance of food, after the horrors of the over-sea crossing. these ever-moist depths. The coral holds the rain water in the many cup-like openings and acts as a "mulch" that favors the development of the trees and underbrush. Hardwood is the wealth of this section of the island of Pines. The people who live there loggers are for the most part "calmaneros" West Indian English of various shades, from Great and Little Cayman Islands, British possessions lying about 150 miles south. Tobacco poles, oversized hardwood bean poles they seem to the Kansas farmer are exported in quantities to Pinar where they find a ready sale among the planters. It is hard to index the island's many charms. Perhaps it finds its greatest attraction as a refuge for the winter riven dweller in northern climes in the wholesomeness of the climate. The winter climate of the Isle of Pines is ideal. The air has an indescribable quality that lets the temperature defy the rigid markings of the theremian; the northern winds that play among the pine trees create a breezy flies' wings, to borrow a phrase from the poets, and the sunshine seems to distill a perfume from the resin that truly sweetens the breezes. It has been said that the perfect is beyond description. This is true of the winter climate of this island. The only criticism that the most difficult to please would dare offer in complaint might be that it is monotonously good. The sheltered position of the island protects it from the north while the most trades blow fresh from the Caribbean with a steep slope, such an equable atmosphere which can make it rain. Action of the globe. This is not hyperbole but fact. The "caimaneros" are a picturesque lot upon whom has descended the glamor of the romance with which tradition overlays these shores since the days of pirates and wreckers. Of course they are fishermen, and besides adding variety to their daily bill of fare, they increase their income by helping to maintain the sea's safety. A voyage in one of the feathery-weight canoes in which they ride the breakers whitening the turquoise sea at the entrance of aledge-protected cove is a thrilling experience and calculated to fill one with respect for the seamanship of these half-breeds. Let us leave the "South Coast" for the north, the real island. Here conditions are essentially different—a rolling country with interspersing hills and rivers, in appearance reminding one of the fertile parts of Florida, a resembling a barren land of pine trees that cover much of a sandy hill area. The trees, strikingly visible from a distance, gave the island its name, Isla de Pinos, from which we have the English translation, Isle of Pines. Isle of Pines! There is that something in the words which seems redolent of the soft, sweet winds that ever blow caressingly over its vernal valleys. The smoothness of the name is all opposed to the idea of rapine and murder. And yet for years this island was a pirate rendezvous. Drake the nineteenth century, when he massacred the few colonists he found, and from that date the fame of the island as a convenient and suitable base spread among the freebooting fraternity. The two old towns of first settlement, Nueva Gerona and Santa Fe, still hold much of their Spanish setting despite the invasion of the hustling American, who indicates his presence by the typical country store that caters to the universal needs of the colonists, and the busy bank. Nueva Gerona, which is the capital of the island, is in having for its mayor a native who combined his skills of his Spanish ancestry with good business sense, enabled him to turn the current of the islands' present progress to the advantage of the little town he loves so well. The many municipal improvements that have been carried out during his term of office serve as monuments to his industry. Santa Fe rivals the sister town in civic pride, and its residents are alert in the matter of the improvement of their 'pueblo.' The island is entirely owned by Americans. Of the 90 cities of estimated surface the part that remains in cities is so small as to be negligible. The present owners have developed the principal industry of the island—citrus-fruit growing. The most ferocious of the pack of sea wolves that hunted the seas in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, English, Dutch or French, all found security and shelter on the Isle of Pines. From Morgan, the knight who won his spurs by successful robbery, rapine, and murder, to Mansfield, who waged war single-handed against the throne of Spain, all the heterogeneous crews of the sea rovers knew the shoals and the sheltered bays behind which their ships could be found. From here they sailed forth to attack the bubbling Spanish galleons, heavy laden with loot from Peru, and back they came again to divide the spoils and reft for another raid. Many have confused the name of the island, connecting it in some way with the pineapple. As already stated, the name is derived from the many pine trees growing there; yet it were not inappropriate that the title should come from the fruit, for the finest pineapples I have ever seen are grown in its valleys. As yet pineapple cultivation has not been made the business success that it promises. A number of reasons have made it difficult to market the fruit successfully. These facts have left a heritage of buried-treasure tales; but while many have dug in just those spots that seem ideal for the concealment of ill-gotten riches, yet there is no authoritative evidence to the effect of buried treasure being recovered. There is a rumor that once someone unearthed a brass-bound chest of doublions near the back of Buffalo to Buffalo to live in luxury ever after on the west side, but doubt the tale, the chest can still be seen lying open on the sand to prove it. Tobacco was grown with great profit on the island in certain specially suited sections during the Cuban war of independence; but tobacco growing is almost an esoteric art the secret of which is only known to the "colonistas" of the Vuelto Abajo district in Cuba. Besides these special agricultural products, the land blooms with all the tropical and semitropical vegetation, the hardy tubers from the temperate zone, so do he who seeks his winter home on those inviting shores will plant his kitchen garden when he sets his nurseries out. The Isle of Pines was presented by royal grant from the crown of Spain to Capt. D. Hernando Pedroso in 1630 with the understanding that he transform the "pirates" lalr" into a "fourishing colony"—to use two common descriptive phrases. The island passed to the Duarte brothers by inheritance in 1706, and to these joint owners all title should be traced. Not the least interesting Perhaps the most neglected, yet to the writer the most potential, gifts which nature has endowed the Isle of Pines are the thermal springs. These are beneficial beyond the mere figures of the analysis of the curative properties they possess. LONG ACTIVE LIFE Veteran of Editorial Ranks Is Dr. George Brown. Founder of the First Free State Newspaper published in Kansas—Remembers the Exciting Days of Border Warfare. There is living today in Illinois a man who played a large part in the making of Kansas history. He is Dr. George Brown, who came to Lawrence in 1854 and there established the Herald of Freedom, the first free state newspaper ever published in Kansas. Today Dr. Brown is almost the last man who fought for Kansas in that battle before the war, risking their lives. He a principle they believed sacred—the principle of human freedom, says the Kansas City Star. Dr. Brown is ninety-two years old—In the late evening of his life—he still remembers vividly the exciting events of the border warfare days, when he published the Herald of Freedom from a log cabin in Lawrence, writing against slavery with a fearlessness that made him the object of deep hatred from the southerners, who were equally determined to make Kansas a slave state. So it happened, when Lawrence, in 1856, that one of the first buildings, the torch was applied to the office of the Herald of Freedom. In the fall of 1854 he removed to Lawrence, Kan., and erected a house, the timber of which was cut and hewed by his printers and sawed by the New England Emigrant Ald company's mill. It was the first lumber sawed by the company's mill, and when he had finished his building at once he began to publish the Herald of Freedom, which helped to make Kansas a free state. This paper, D. W. Wilke said, was "the most perfect in character, typography and general make-up of any paper I ever saw." Governor Geary was present upon an occasion when the stars and stripes were raised to the summit of the staff over the Herald building and made a brief speech to the assembled multi- Dr. George Brown, Who Established the Herald of Freedom at -Lawrence, Kan., in 1854.

Robinson, the widow of ex-Governor Robinson, says that Dr. Brown "wrote its editors, carefully reviewed them after appeared in its columns, exclaimed from its advertising pages every offence uttered, declined, even for double compensation, to advertise the sale of intoxicants, ever warred upon the wrong in all its forms and that his principal enemies were lawbreakers." During the turbulent days on the border he was imprisoned for championing the cause of human freedom. He was not disturbed, but lived to see the principles he advocated triumph. PEARL FISHING IN SCOTLAND Gems of Considerable Value Have Been Found In the Rivers of That Country. It is a common belief that pearl oysters are found only in ocean beds, and perhaps it may be a surprise to some learn that pearl fishing is extensively carried on in several Scottish rivers and if the pearls there may got from the ocean, they are in considerable demand and can command good prices. On the River Tay, 40 miles from its mouth, quite a small trade is done in fresh water pearls, and there the method of procedure is as follows: The fisher having armed himself with a long bamboo pole split at one end, and a contrivance very like a tinnail with a glass bottom, embarks in his boat (sometimes only a large wooden box) and scouts out on the road and are not willing to point out very slowly and is of considerable depth. Letting down his "hall" a few inches into the water so that he can clearly see through the glass bottom the objects on the bed of the river, he scuels along until he comes to a clump of oysters (which grow with the sharp edge upward), and letting down his long pole he secures one of them in the cleft and lifts it into the boat. After having procured a score or two he opens every shell with his knife and carefully cuts the edge. The gems however, are difficult to get, often several dozen oysters being opened before one is found. As much as 30 pounds has been got for one of the fresh-water pearls—Wide World Magazine.

Mr. Rockefeller's subscription of $11,000 to the family is being raised to purchase and maintain little house at Dole, in the Jura department where Pasteur was born, has aroused a feeling of humiliation in France, which is thus placed in the position of allowing a foreigner to supply the money necessary to honor one of her great men. His father was a soldier in the army of the Napoleon and was 25 when he retired to his native country after the collage of the empire. Pasteur's Birthplace, and earned a living as a tanner. Pasteur has written of his parents: "Ohl father and mother! My beloved departed, who lived so modestly in this little house, it is to you that I owe everything! Your enthusiasm, my brave mother, you impressed upon me. If I have ever and always associated the greatness of science with the greatness of my country it is because I was impregnated with sentiments inspired by you. And you, dear father, whose life was as hard as your own hard occupation, you showed me what patience in long efforts can achieve. It is to you I owe my tenacity in daily work." The subscription toward the purchase of the house has not been closed. Mr. Rockefeller suggested that should remain open have been acted upon, several foreign universities and many communes and villages have sent subscriptions to the mayor of Dole. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. $2.40 PER YEAR. Valley of the Amazon Produces Best in the World. industry, Now One of the *Greatest*, Practically Dates Back to 1823, Though Product First Came Here in 1800. The best rubber in the world comes from the valley of the Amazon, and is known as Para, so called after the city which is the principal gateway of export. This region is densely forested and intersected by a myriad of rivers. It has a soil of incomparable richness, is watered by never-falling rains and warmed by the equatorial sun. The first cost of crude rubber is about 75 cents a pound. By the time it reaches the world's markets it is worth about $2.50 in Brazil. It is called "black gold." There are the lower-grade grades of rubber from the far east cost on the average about 25 cents a pound and sells for $1.75 a pound. Of late years a great deal of this low grade rubber has come from the guayule plant, a shrub which grows in the desert uplands of Mexico. Its thick bark contains about 10 per cent. of rubber. Certain German s and Americans after many experiments, have perfect machinery to extract this rubber gum, and have succeeded in adding about 22,000,000 pounds to the world's product of crude rubber. There are ten *rubber trusts* in the United States, three of them are in the United States, three in Germany, one in Russia and one in Italy. They represent amalgamations of some fifty of the rubber factories of the world. There are still about 450 that are not amalgamated. India rubber first came to the United States in 1800, but although a patient is recorded as early as 1813 for making an elastic varnish out of the strange new product, nothing seems to have come of it until 1823, when a Boston sea captain brought back with him from South America a pair of fantastically glided rubber boots. On his next voyage he returned with more, which he sold at $5 a pair. It On a Rubber Plantation. was not until Charles Goodyear discovered how to vulcanize rubber that the rubber industry amounted to anything. The impression that a visitor to a rubber goods factory carries away with him is one of a lot of rollers that seem to be doing nothing but tearing to pieces and rolling up into shape, over and over again, the rubber as it develops from its crude to its final composition. Some rollers are cold, some are hot; some are wet, some are dry; some fitted with calendars that impress a pattern on the finished sheets, and others seem little more than laundry machines. Crude rubber has to be cleaned. It is softened in boiling water for an hour or so and then run between two rolls, one of which revolves a little faster than the other. Over both of these there plays a steady stream of water. The rubber comes out in long, flat sheets and is carried into drying rooms, where the air is kept in constant moisture fans. Every bit of moisture must be removed, and this takes sometimes as much as two weeks. When through dried the rough sheets go to other machines, from which they emerge soft, smooth. After having been thoroughly rolled the rubber is compounded with various ingredients, litharge and whitening be the two commonest. Then it is sent under still other rollers and kneaded and worked together into a homogeneous mass. If the rubber is combined with a textile fabric the rubber and cotton cloth go through another series of rollers, entering separately, but coming out as one. Wolves Startle Town. Palmyra, Mo.—Armed men and snapping dogs pursued a large gray wolf through the streets the other day. After a long chase the animal was shot and killed by Louis Nelson, deputy game warden, where it stood at bay in front of a hedge row. The wolf was captured when it was a cub with six others, in the Salt River county. County Assessor Milton Phillips took its home. When it grew older it killed all the cats on Phillips' farm. He then turned it over to a Palmyra resident. Yesterday the wolf broke its chain and ran out on the street. It was pursued to the open country. Nelson claimed the $$ bounty paid by the state for pelts. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? A National Afro-American Newspaper PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

HELLISH COLOR PREJUDICE To what contemptible depths does the hellish color prejudice of some white men lead them! It is understood that the executive committee of the American Bar Association has decided to oust Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, from membership in the bar association. It is claimed by members of the committee that they did not know that Mr. Lewis was an Afro-American when he was elected, all of which is a misstatement of facts. The action of the committee has aroused Attorney General Wickersham and he has sent a spirited letter to each of the 4,700 members of the association, charging the executive committee with an arrogance of power unwarranted by the body's constitution in order to gratify a race prejudice entertained by some of its members. The constitution of the association has no provision upon which to base such discrimination. All honor to Attorney General Wickersham! As so many hundreds of thousands of supposedly "pure-blooded white men" really have Negro blood in their composition, it is not unreasonable to presume that at least several scores of the 4,700 are so "tainted," and that THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WHO OBJECTED ARE IN THAT NUMBER. Stranger things than that are in existence to our knowledge. An East ndian by the name of Bustonjee, or Tombigbee, or something of the sort, is in the United States denouncing the courageous East Indians who are fighting for their rights as men against the aggressions of the British. Evidently Bustonjee is a paid emissary of the British government, or of some organization which has for its object the crushing out of the liberty of the masses of the East ndians. It is a strange fact that every race produces a class of men who are willing to belittle their own people for W. H. PRESIDENT TAFT, Who Will Spend Saturday and Sunday in Chicago Jake Farnsworth MR. EMETT etery of Tuskegee Institute. Who Has Been Elected Secr J. SCOTT. Saturday in Chicago, including receptions, luncheons, dinners and speechnaking, will be the busiest Mr. Taft has had in many months. He will be on the go practically the entire day from his arrival at 8 in the morning until late at night. In addition to the public functions the president probably will have as many political conferences with political friends who are in charge of his interests in Chicago and Illinois generally. The president will visit the Armour Institute of Technology in the morning, and also will drop in on the clay products exposition. He will be the guest of honor at a reception given by the Taft Club of Chicago, and will take luncheon at the Union League Club. While there he will the smiles or cash of the oppressor. the states or of cash to the oppressor. We have hundreds of the "good nigger" class here in the United States, who glory in doing all they can to injure the Afro-American people, provided they can get a jimcrow office in some alleged Christian organization or the cash of the white man. Many would sell their souls to have some cheap Caucasian refer to them as "good niggers." It has been more or less asserted by scientists and others that both Adam and Jesus Christ were not white, which, of course, is easy to believe, when one thinks of the fact that even at the present time only about one eight of the population of the world is white. But now comes a Theosophist, D. S. M. Unger of Chicago, who declares he knows for a fact that Christ is coming back to earth within the next twenty years. Says Mr. Unger: "Whenever a nation or the world really needs a great leader, he turns up. The world is sadly in need of a great religious leader these days and so I know Christ is coming back within the next twenty years. And, in order that humanity may have no trouble in being certain of the presence of Christ, he will have a brown body." Well, if Christ returns to this earth brown in color, there are people in the United States who will not accept him. Any old excuse will do so that the inhuman southerners may indulge in their most delightful pastime of lynching Airo-Americans. On last Tuesday, near Marshall, Tex., George Sanders and Mary Jackson were taken from their home and hanged by a mob of unidentified (?) brutes in human form because they "had lived in the same rouse with Tennie Sneed" who shot and killed Paul Strange, a white man, January 29. They used to claim they seldom resorted to lynching except for assaults or alleged assaults upon white women, but now any sort of excuse will do. It seems strange that these "superior race" people are so heartless. If God is just, and we believe He is, he is heaping up wrath against the day of wrath. "Vengeance push an electric button to formally open "The World in Cincinnati," a missionary congress, which will convene in his home town. Later in the afternoon Mr. Taft will talk to the newspaper men of Chicago at the Press Club. In the evening he will speak at a banquet to be given by the Swedish-American Republican Society, and later will visit the banquet of the Traffic Club. The president will spend the night at the Congress Hotel. Sunday the president will attend church, and also will make an address to a delegation of Polish and Bohemian children. He will leave Chicago late Sunday afternoon for Washington, where he will arrive Monday afternoon. is mine, I will repay saith the Lord." In Washington, capital city of the land of the free and home of the prejudice, separate schools for the races exist and the alumni association of the technical training school for Caucasians recently gave a minstrel show in which the pupils of the Afro-American schools were burlesqued. Although there are three Afro-American members on the school board, it seems that they saw no impropriety in such an exhibition being given in the assembly hall of a public school. Judging from newspaper dispatches, the alleged Christian Endeavorers in Washington, D. C., spend the greater portion of their time in "jimcrowning" the Afro-Americans who go to the meetings, compelling them to take seats in the rear of the church (?) where the meetings are held. At a recent meeting a number of the Afro-American brethren walked out as a protest against gospel jimcrowism. The president of the Alabama State Humane Society appeals to the society to prevent people from eating oysters as they lie in their freshly opened shells, on the ground that it is cruelty to animals. It is ridiculous that such a plea should come from the semi-civilized state of Alabama where cruelty to colored human beings is one of the principal pleasures of the people. The bodies of two Belgians, who were drowned last August in the Congo, were found to have been mutilated by the natives who recovered them, all of which shows that the natives are rising in civilization, and that some day they may reach the level of the native Caucasians in Georgia, Alabama and Texas. The Chinese have established a republic and now a revolutionary conspiracy to establish a republic has been unearthed in Siam. All over the world democratic ideas are growing. Only the Afro-Americans of the South are content to remain in a state of practical serfdom. Uncle Sam's Bare-Legged Soldiers WASHINGTON.—The first of the season's evening receptions by the President and Mrs. Taft brought to the White House a company that surpassed in the manner of appointment and attire anything ever before seen in Washington, even at a diplomatic reception. As usual on this occasion the jewels and gowns of the feminine visitors were in keeping with the court uniforms and decoration of the envoys. Mme. Bakhmeietel's sapphires and diamonds, the Countess von Bernstorf's diamond tiara and necklace, with Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh's ropes of pearls, are never seen to such splendid advantage as when in contrast with the gold embroidered and beribboned gentlemen of the corps diplomatique. The plainest person at the White House function is usually the president himself. Mrs. Tatt is maintaining her reputation as the best dressed mistress the White House has known since the days of Dolly Madison, when dress, like manners, followed a prescribed form which the wife of the THE tail of a rhinoceros for a wedding present! That was the extraordinary gift received by Miss Mary Carlisle, leader of the younger social set, from Col. Theodore Roosevelt, might hunter of Oyster Bay. The arrival at the Carlisle home on I street of a strange looking package from the Roosevelt village was not told until the other day, although the gift was received several weeks ago, at the time of the wedding of Miss Carlisle to Walter Howe, a young lawyer of this city. Miss Carlisle opened the package herself, feeling that the greatest prize of her record-breaking collection of wedding gifts was about to be revealed. A little scream of fright drew the members of the family and servants as a black, peculiar object resembling a snake rolled out on the floor. "What on earth can it be?" the household asked. "It must have crept into the package in the express office!" suggested some one. Then gradually the truth dawned. It was no mistake. It was the gift of the great hunter—the "brush of the rhino"—the prize won in the greatest of jungle battles. The rhinoceros tall, despite its evi- UNCLE SAM has in his army some thousands of little brown men of the mid-Pacific, who approximate all grades of civilization and a lack of it and who are well typified by the accompanying illustration, which shows the Philippine soldier in the course of being transformed. A year before this picture was taken these men were wild in the woods, with nothing but a breechclout in the way of clothing. They have advanced to a stage where they take great pride in their caps and coats, but still refuse to adopt the trousers and shoes. A year later, however, they will be found as fully equipped as is their captain, shown in the foreground. The Philippines constabulary, of which these men are a part, is now a little more than 5,000 strong, including officers and men. To be exact In the office of Representative Steenerson of Minnesota hangs a pipe of peace and hatchet—once buried—that are mementoes of the time Steenerson was adopted by the Chippewa Indians. Steenerson was a grown man at the time of the adoption. He had never become a regular Indian. He had done several favors for the Chippewas and they made him a member of the tribe, just as a college might bestow an LL.D. When it came to the actual conferring of the tribal title there were war dances, smoking of the pipe of peace, burying the hatchet, and much more merry doings that made Steenerson think what a fine thing it would be if the Elks and the Knights Templars could arrange to hold a joint grand lodge meeting. Jolly as it all was, the Indians were as solemn as if they had just spent several months previous standing in front of cigar stores. Toward the close of the exercises the chief walked toward Steenerson and proceeded to invest him with a wampum belt, or surcingle, that Wedding Began in Romance. A marriage took place recently, in Red Bank, N. J., which was the culmination of an odd romance. Three years ago, the bridegroom, John S. Bainton was unpacking at a clothing factory in Red Bank when he came upon a slip of paper on which was written the name of his future bride and her address. A few days later the young woman got a letter from Bainton. The return mail brought Bainton a reply. A regular correspondence was begun and soon photographs were exchanged and the coule became engaged. fourth president understood as completely as does her present day successor. The majority of gowns that made the historic East Room gay with color ranged, from the rose pink tones for which Miss Helen Taft shows so plain a preference, through several new blues, the orchid tints in pink and mauve, and several brilliant green and violet tints. There were white dresses, and black dresses, of course, several of them handsome enough to grace a presidential dinner party, but the handsomest gowns, using the superlative degree with all deference, were in the vivid colorings which are distinctively of 1912. Two or more schools of dress are distinctly established in Washington smart circles. The rich and rare broacades, velvents and satins made in rather severe lines, with untrimmed skirts and much adorned corsage, which bear the hallmark of the Worth, are leaders in one line, while equally well favored are the diaphanous chiffons, the tulles, nets and metallic gauze with contrasting under drapery, or over drapery of soft pliable satin and the new taffeta. The latter is, however, distinctly a day time fabric, seen at its best in reception toilette or at smart breakfast or luncheon parties. NOW THAT I IS WHAT I CALL A FINE PRESENT dent value in the eyes of the ex-president, was carefully picked up by the butler summoned to face the crisis with manly valor and removed to a sequestered section of the mansion. The wedding of Miss Carlisle and Walter Howe in St. John's church was one of the big social events of the winter, and they are now on a honey-moon in Europe—an extensive tour, but one that will not take in Africa. The bride, so her friends say, is spending much deep thought in an effort to compose a note of thanks to the colonel. The rhinoceros tail was unadorned It was simply dry and black, much as if it had been ripped off by the mighty Bwano Tumbo and hung up to dry. Mrs. Howe is the daughter of Mrs. Calderon Carlisle, whose late husband for many years was one of the leading authorities here on international law. there were 4,130 men and 296 officers at last report. This constabulary had its origin in the Filipino scouts that were organized during the war of occupation. The scouts readily adopted the methods of the Americans and showed themselves easily amenable to discipline. With them as a basis, the force has been gradually increased until members of the constabulary are to be found in nearly all parts of the island, and have come to be as much depended upon to keep order as are the American troops. The Filipino boys are taken when they know nothing of the English language and little of civilized life. They are provided with shelter and food and get small wages. There is a scramble to get into the service. By nature these Malay Mongolian races are great imitators. When they see a thing done once they can come near repeating it. The Filipino is being found to be an excellent fighter. There have been instances when led by an American officer these troops have charged fortified positions with a resulting death percentage as high as 40 and have refused to give up the charge. would make him a full member of the tribe, with voting privilege and no dues. But Steenerson, who stands six feet four, has a girth like a yearling Percheron, or a traffic cop, and the Indian's belt lacked about five inches of meeting. The chief muttered something that made all the Indians smile, though they were not due to smile until toward the end of the following month. Even in his more giddy moments the average Chippewa is about as jocose as the portraits of George Washington. Steenerson learned that the chief's facetious remark was: "When him been Indian little while he meet enough there for belt to meet all right." Gembling Not In Reholling Mood. "What shall we do, John," said the farmer's wife, who had retained much of her sentiment through twenty-five years of married life, "what shall we do to celebrate our silver wedding?" "Reckon up where all the silver's gone to in bringing up our family," grumbled he. "Oh, no, John. it must be something real good and out of the ordinary. I tell you what! Let us kill the fattest pig and give a banquet." "Maria," said the husband solemnly. "I don't see how the unfortunate animal is to blame for what happened twenty-five years ago." Knowles Building.

WEBSTER WHEELOCK Republican Candidate for Nomination for Assemblyman, St. Paul. for Assemblyman, St. Paul. Webster Wheelock, one of the candidates for nomination on the Republican Assembly ticket, was born in St. Paul and has lived here all his life. He was a reporter on the Pioneer Press and was associate editor of that paper in 1887 until 1900, when he became editor chief on the death of his father, Joseph Wheelock. As editor, he always showed himself a warm friend of the Afro-American St. Paul and of the country at large, and his sanctum was always open to all who had any cause to plead and wanted to gain the public ear through the newspaper. Mr. Wheelock has been an enthusiastic worker for the development of St. Paul. He was the first advocate of direct primaries in Minnesota, and of municipal home rule. He was one of the executive committee, through whose efforts the present home-rule charter was passed, under which the present school system was developed and which embodyed strong franchise provisions. He was a member of the committee which built the museum, and of the publicity bureau. He is the movement for good roads in 1904, as the result of which Ramsey county has better roads than any county in Minnesota, and he was the leading spirit in the Capital Approaches Association. He is a member of the Junior Pioneers and other organizations. For twenty years he has been familiar with the practical problems of the city government of our city, and with local politics. His pen and his personal efforts have always been at the command of every movement for a better and a greater St. Paul. Mr. Wheelock has never before been a candidate for office. In Honor of Mrs. J. B. Johnson On Friday evening of last week the cosy home of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Johnson was the scene of a large gathering of admiring friends who are members of the Household of Ruth, or related to them, who invaded their home to tender a surprise to that admirable little woman, Mrs. Johnson, as a slight recognition of appreciation for her long and faithful service as Worthy Recorder of the Household. The afair which was suggested by Mrs. W. T. Pratt was ably managed by Mrs. J. H. Dillingham, Mrs. J. H. Dillingham, Mrs. Thomas Hickman, Mrs. Carrie Lindsay, Mrs. Nellie Cotton and other prominent members of the Order, Messdames Hickman, Cotton and Johnson represented the charter members. An interesting program of music and speeches, arranged by Mrs. Francis, was participated in by about fifteen members of the Household and Mars Lodge showered upon Mrs. Johnson many compliments teeming with words of the highest praise and commendation for her worth, not only in the Order, but in the entire community, which is inestimable, interspersed with wit, sayings and appropriate music. Mr. Johnson was also included in the many encomiums given to friends were each and all eager to bestow, and received his share of praise as a citizen of the highest type and a greatly valued member of the race in this community. Both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are much beloved and highly respected in the Order, and the occasion was a truly happy one, the final touch to which was given when, just before the satisfying repast, which had been prepared principally by Sister Dillingham (in which line she is a specialist truly), she stepped forward and presented Mrs. Johnson a magnificent mahogany case of silver knives, forks, spoons, butter knife and sugar spoon, suitably engraved, the gift of the entire Household. Feeling responses were made by both Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, after which a circle was named around them by the few remaining charter members of the Order, and the balance of the tokens cled by the balance of the Household of Ruth, while, with intense feeling "Blessed be the Tie That Binds" was heartily sung. All enjoyed the evening and remained till a late hour, departing amid the best good fellowship and delighted to honor the Johnsons in such a thorough manner. Where do you get your laundry work done?

GOOD SHOES The Horsheim SHOE For the man who cares STANLEY SHOE CO. 421 Robert Street, St. Paul PARIS IN PROTEST Ugly Advertising Posters Meet With Disapproval. Famed Beauty of the Streets of the Gay Capital Disappearing Because of Greed That Dominates Commercialism. The beauty of Paris! Do not imagine that Paris has a patent on good taste. Recently a completely Parisian concern of the Boulevard painted its entire front screaming red! Mme. Roland's historic house has a side wall, high, exposed, and one of the department stores spread pink and green letters on it, five feet high. The extensive building operations of the Boulevard have raised up immense boardings. All are covered with posters, and a fourth of those posters are in doubtful taste. Can what is grotesque, comic, ugly or aesthetically shocking make a good advertisement? The general practice of greater Paris advertisers says no, but leaves the field of "shock" all the more free to the small and hungry who strain for effect. Nevertheless competition tempts the great advertisers to novelty, and ugliness is novelty—in Paris. So the beauty of the streets trembles in the balance. The French government wishes to encourage art in street advertisements. When pictorial posters are artistic the public taste is soothed and uplifted; foreign visitors find the beautiful streets free from a note of discord. But note the native poor are even more concerned. "The street is the parlor of the poor," says the poet Roost. "The rich in their automobiles can hurry through dirty streets and shut their eyes to advertising vulgarity, but when the poor have an hour of leisure the street is their parlor, salon, museum. Why hang its walls with ugliness and banality?" The author of "Chantecler" as advertising specialist need not astonish you; the astronomer Poincare, cousin of the prime minister, has even analyzed the principles. "Pictorial advertising has two objects," says the sublime mathematician. "First, to attract attention; second, to fix an obsession, a haunting of the mind. But in order for the obsession to be fruitful the memory must connect the advertised object with the LA FONTANA Fountain in Paris Square. haunting picture and certain other details, as its use, its place of sale, etc. There should be no subconscious effort to forget, as when the impression is ugly, distasteful or merely banal." Whence the mathematician concludes for simple beauty and harmony to produce lasting returns in posters. Also, if posters be really admitted to the coming Salon, such philosophy of advertising will become part of the art critic's baggage. The merits, not of Vasseur's massage cream or Millard's mincemeat, but the obsessing beauty of Roubille or Leandre's posters of them will obtain solemn discussion—to the equal advantage of Vasseur and Millard's sales! It will be well worth while to order an art poster. HAD TO PART WITH QUEUES How Soldiers at the Gates of Kashing Enforced Magistrate's Orders on the Citizens. A week or so ago our Pen Ful or ordered every man's queue cut off. Many at once did so, but the business men were opposed. Also some other classes. So the magistrate wrote a conciliatory proclamation, delaying the time a few days. Then he resorted to the method of appointing a great gathering of Chinese of all sorts, especially the soldiers, at the Kashing Fu school. The only requirement for entrance was a "queueless head." About 1,000 were present. The Fu himself with his officers appeared before the people and then gave an account of the history of the Kuh-mintang movements in Kashing. One of the most interesting features of the occasion was the presentation to the volunteers of a number of goodly presents, from rice in quantity to dressed pigs and other delicacies of all sorts. This for their faithfulness to the cause and a mark of the respect and sympathy of the people who were in and around Kashing. But all the above methods failed to secure the shopman's queues and also those of many other people. So finally the magistrate set a day and proclaimed that every man not having his queue off by the time set would be compelled to cut the badge of Manchu servitude off and relegate it to the waste basket. So in due season soldiers were stationed at the gate (some three days, ago) and many were the queues sacrificed. Many were the howls of some of those whose dignity, in their estimation, was thus lost forever. The writer passed along the street lately and could not see a single queue. So the Fu has proved his words! There is a wild enthusiasm for foreign hats, overcoats, cloth and everything of this nature. A good tailor might make a good thing of it here—Kashing correspondence Shanghai Mercury. A. B.
