FEW RECRUITS FOR LIFE-SAVERS Small Wages and Lack of Pension Fund Are Driving the Surfmen Into Less Hazardous Callings. VOL.28.NO.34. THE United States lifesaving service is finding it increasingly difficult to fill gaps in its crews caused by death and resignation. The youngest man not seem as willing to accept the small salary and great dangers of the service as were their HE United States life-saving service is finding it increasingly difficult to fill gaps in its crews caused by death and resignation. The younger men of the coast do not seem as willing to accept the small salary and great dangers of the service as were their forefathers. It is still possible to find father and son serving in the same crew, and there are Long Island families that can boast of having every male member a coast guard; but these instances are by no means as frequent as they used to be. The surfers are beginning to doubt the value of a service that pays, at most, a salary of $1,104 a year, with no prospect of pension or indemnification if a man dies in the performance of his duty. Why should such a life when he can do better and live safely as fisherman or oysterman, or combination carpenter and yacht-skipper in the summer months? Why, indeed? Along the 10,000 miles of coastline there is no stretch that is so uniformly dangerous as the tenuous sand that runs along the west side of Long Island, projecting 120 miles into the Atlantic. The Great South beach, it is called, or Fire Island beach; but to men of the sea it is known as "the Graveyard of the Atlantic" because of the ships that have broken their backs on the shifting bars that dot its length. Since the white man first salled these seas, the Great South beach has taken its toll. Bluff-blowed Dutchmen out of Rotterdam; Spanish galleons from Cuba; high-pooped English merchantmen that traded to the loyal colony of New York; king's ships and fishing boats of the old days; stout clippers and ocean liners—all these and many more have driven in with the flying sead, setting their stems and the clinging sand that has so seldom leaked its prey. You find evidences of them in the shattered thimble sand on the beach from Fire Island to the Hamptons and beyond—stout saps, sections of planking, water-soaked timbers of many shapes and ages; and off-shore, sometimes one catches a glimpse of a shattered hull, draped with the green seaweed or a sunken mass of engines and boilers and twisted pipes. The government long ago recognized the peculiar dangers of the Long Island shore, with its menace to the linners that ply between New York and European ports, and measures to safeguard it were taken. At intervals of five miles along the most dangerous section, tiny stations are planted. There are 13 of them, each manned by eight men from the first of August to the first of June. Between these dates all the crews, except captains or keepers, go off duty—without pay. These are are stations at New York's shore. Are also the stations which do the cleaning and hear the heaviest responsibility—a statement that casts no reflection on the remainder of the 300 stations. Some of the men in these stations have performed noteworthy deeds of valor, but the most they have ever received in recognition has been a few medals, and in one instance the thanks of the New York legislature. Despite the undoubted hardship of their work, and the fact that they are called upon to risk their lives more often than soldiers or sailors, or even firemen probably, the government has been able to raise their pay or increase the compensation of their injuries. One wonders how long such attitude will be preserved. It seems unfair and unwise, inasmuch as it has already begun to react by curtailing the supply of recruits. It should be borne in mind that in all the history of the life-saving service there has never been an instance of covardice—not once. There has never been a time when a captain had any difficulty in getting his men to follow him into the surf. There has never been a time when it was necessary for the captain to repeat an order to drink and have been known to drink and have been dutty, but even these have never showed themselves to be cowards. And perhaps, after all, that is the thing the service is most proud of. "Yes, they do say it is a hard life," said old Capt. George Goddard of Lone Hill, when some one asked him why he still stuck to his job at seventy. "Yes, it may be a hard life," he mused. "But I like it. Thirty-odd years I've been on the beach, for I was a middle-aged man when I joined the Army, and for a spell yet, and I've indulged so so's I can live comfortable. They don't give us a pension, you know." This last was not a complaint, but a fact. It was spoken, too, by a man who had reached three-score years and ten and who was still able to stand up in the stern of a big surfboard and handle a bicking steering-wheel, with the seashell higher than the water, the North Georgia Lloyd liner Princess Ineast fast on the outer bar. His tones expressed a certain amount of surprise, but no complaint. In fact, no member of the service complains about his lot, even when he resigns. A man went to the captain of his crew long ago last summer, to be exact—and remarked: "I'm goin' to quit Cap. Too much work feedin' on home, now we've got another baby." The captain took his pipe out of his mouth and grunted. That was all. He knew perfectly well, as well as the man in front of him, that with a family of young children to be brought up and educated in these days of expensive living, it was impossible to get along on the coast guard's pay of $65 a month and $9 extra for rations. If the coast guard are somewhat nervous and uncoach outwardly, they are as good as guards on en.

When you sit down to eat with them you are expected to forage for yourself. They take it for granted that every one does that at any table. Every man knows how to reach for the condensed milk can, according to the coast guard's viewpoint. But if they once get it into their heads that a visitor is not faring properly they will make amends. Any stranger who goes to a life-savings center can learn how to citizen can have board and logging and he isn't asked to pay, either. That part of the bargain is left to him. Even if he does pay he won't be allowed to tax himself more than the cost price of everything. This is not unknownly; it is a fact. The life-savers of the Long Island coast have a code of hospitality as rigid as the American Indians. They are of the purest American stock, often with a strong vein of old Dutch blood from the colony at West Sayville. In most cases they have followed the sea from father to son for from four to six generations. One is almost inclined to believe that they are born leather-skinned and able to pull the heavy fourteen-foot-ah sweeps that row the surboats and "self-ballers". Some of the Long Island fishing families have established enviable reputations for themselves, like the Rhodes family, the Bakers, the Rhodes family, the Bakers, the Seamans and many others. They have all furnished at least one hero. Captain Baker of the Point o' Woods station has two sons in the service. The oldest, Eddy, is No. 1 man at Point o' Woods; the second, Wally, is at Blue Point, and the youngest, Simmy, is already on the eligible list for appointment at Lone Hill. They are fine, husky, strapping boys, the best type of young Americans of their ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 24. 1912. For the Sake of Novelty class and calling—bread-shouldered, strong-limbed, deep chests that have been developed by hours of tugging at oars that had to meet the underwater and bite of the surf. In a way one is sorry to see material like this wasted on the sea. But there is another to the story. It is wasted, after all! The oars are ageous, healthy lives, out in the open air. The city means nothing to them. Eddy Baker, who bosed the job in his father's absence when the Antonio Lopez came ashore near Point o' Woods two summers ago, and went out to her with a scratch crew of cottagers and bay men, was once invited to spend a week in town with some of these same cottagers, who had taken a fancy to his strong, simple nature, and the joy of civilization that he lost himself. Jamaica, where he had to change cars, and it took the police half a day to find him. He had never seen the inside of a big theater before his visit, and he went into cestacles at the dinner table over some ice cream that had been frozen in fancy molds. But he could fry ham and eggs as delicously as the best chef that ever handled a griddle, and he knew his way through the mysteries of fapacks, plum duff, and other dishes that for them were delicious. It was this same Eddy Baker, by the way, who summed up the whole viewpoint of his kind as the big Princess Irene headed for New York after Small Girl's Excellent Reasons for Wishing She Might be a Hen, If Only on Occasional Sunday. Out back of the house, on a grassy bank overlooking the chicken yard, sat Miss Thung and Margaret last Sunday. They were absorbed, especially Margaret, in watching the chickens. "They scratch just the same on Sunday," observed Margaret reflectively, "as they do on weekdays. It wicked, I spose." "Oh, no, it isn't wicked," objected Miss Thung. "My mother says that 'musment on Sunday is bad for the soul,'" remarked Margaret. "But chickens are not like little boys and girls are they?" she questioned with a baby sigh. "No, they are quite different." "The haven't got a soul, have they?" pursued the child. "No." Margaret paused long and reflectively. "I wish I was a hen," she said at last with despair. Defective Page four tugs had unexpectedly dislodged her from the sand bar: "I'd like to be aboard her," said a man, wistfully, as he thought of the long trip back to the city by boat and train. "Why?" asked young Baker. "To go to New York? Snuck! What do you want to do?" Some of the Lone Hill surmaden been standing around when Baker made this remark, and afterward, in the messroom of their station, just after supper, and the "sunset" patroh had started out, the subject was brought up again. They were mildly amused by their visitor's inclination to return to New York and, finally, Jim Reynolds, who, as he said him, was a member of the rest, was induced to frame the philosy ophy of his mates in concrete phrases NEW BOARDHILL FOR LIFE SAVING SHOOTING A LINE TO A SHIP "You see, down here, we've got the clean sea and the wind," he said.

Nobody down here is after your money. I don't need to knock the city. But down here they can yourself. Eddy Baker's right. I can't see how low we can live in the city. Why, think of the breakers and the lights we have with them. Do you have anything like that in the city? No, sir; I guess not." The fact is, these men do not mind the dangers and privations they undergo. They are nerveless, or practically so. They are not wholly ignorant of fear; they realize it in graduated degrees. Men like Captain Goddard of Lone Hill or the Bakers of Point o' Woods have reduced the apples to a minimum. Although, it should be to a minimum. Although, it should be to a minimum. Gooddard, starch old veteran that he is, has been known to break down and cry. "But don't you like to be mamma's dear little girl?" inquired Miss Thung in surprise. "Oh, yes.

But Beware of These Beauties, As They Also Have a Violent Temper and May Place a Yataghan Between Your Shoulders. Tizi-Uzou, Kabylla.—Though the Mauresques of Algeria and the fairheaded beauties of Circassia combine a remarkable loveliness of features and complexion with a certain voluptuous elegance, they compare with the dignified, graceful, insolent Kabyla women very much as the show girls of a light opera chorus compare with the star. Even the humble peasant girl, grinding the family flour between the upper and the nether stone in the doorway of a mud hovel, possesses a distinction of perfume. Which would attract attention in any assemblage. With all her dignity, however, the Kabyla woman does not rise superior to the African's fondness for personal adornment, being so laden with bracelets, anklets and necklaces of gold, silver, turquise and coral that when she moves she sounds like an approaching four-in-hand. Her approach is likewise heralded by the reek of an exotic and almost overpowering perfume, which, like the Kabyla woman, Bee of Umls, is composed of nearly a blended scents, the odor changing from carmation to the bellotrope, to rose, to violet, and so on, every few minutes. Lest this glowing description of their charms should start you posthaste for Kabyley, let me warn you that these inolent-eyed beauties are headstrong and hot of temper, and that if you happened to say the wrong thing, then it is more than probable that you would be blamed yatghan, which every Kabyley matlen wears very much as an American girls girls a bunch of violets, planted between your shoulders. They are fond of cold steel, are these Kabyles, for at the conclusion of a wedding ceremony the bridegroom, walking backward, holds aloft a naked dagger, and the bride, following him, keeps the point of it being on the other side of the custom of Kabyley, the burritic, consists in the part mastroid of the bride, who, clad in her wed Typical Kabyle Woman. ding finery, stands through an entire morning against a pillar in the village square, her eyes closed, her arms pressed to her sides and with only the narrow base of the column for a foothold, the while a ring of villagers criticise and comment on her appearance. I might add that, despite the stern stuff of which the Kabyle women are made, the bride usually faints during the ordeal. If, after learning of these quantit whims and customs, you wish to see the Kabyle women with your own eyes, you have only to take passage to Algiers and a train thence, for some twenty-odd hours, over a railway which appears to be suffering from convulsions, to its terminus at Tizi-Ouzou. Thence, on horseback, astride of a docket or a donkey, but always with your Arab guide in front and in your jacket pocket, and in this serviceable revolver, you can penetrate with greater or less safety into those wild fastnesses of the Atlas range, where one can buy a dozen beauties outright for the price of a limousine motor car—Metropolitan. AUTO ROUTS HORSESHOER Chicago Blacksmith Goes Into Bankruptcy, Asserting Decline of Horse Was His Undoing. Chicago.—Because the automobile has gradually encroached upon the uselessness of the horse, Thomas F. D. Murray, his business manager, his horsehoe on the West Side, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the federal court. For more than ten years he has conducted a horseshoe shop at 466 Milwaukee avenue. His liabilities are $3,899.96 and his assets $3,733.75. He is fifty-six years old. "Folon once had a prosperous horseshoe business," said Attorney Joseph E. O'Donnell his counsel. "He in his business declined to such rapid strides lately that he quit discouraged. The automobile was the cause." MARRIAGE RITES IN ARMENIA Ancient and Odd Customs Are Still Commonly Observed In This Country. Constantinople, Turkey—Cupid has little chance in Armenia, where young women are closely secluded and kept away from all social intercourse with young men. From the time of her birth the life of the Armenian girl is regulated by her parents, even to the arrangements for her marriage and the choosing of a husband for her, and so closely is she watched that love affairs before marriage are unknown, and indeed, as she is never allowed to see a man outside of her own family there is little chance for Cupid to play any tricks on susceptible hearts. As soon as a girl is born to them Armenian women begin to lay aside money and fine linens for her marriage portion. When she is considered to have reached the marriable area In Bridal Attire. her mother sends a message to the guardians or parents of some young man who she thinks would be a suitable husband for her daughter, describing the girl's beauty, admirable qualities and particularly the amount of her dowry. The marriage follows shortly, taking place at the home of the bride's parents, and the ceremony is as imposing as the ritual of the Greek church can make it. The bride, richly garbed in white silks and billows of lace, has quantities of fingling coins dangling from her braids, and both she and the bridegroom wear wreaths of artificial flowers. When the marriage rites are being solemn, the couple must stand or kneel before the choir, pressed together. Meanwhile, drums, belts and other noise instruments do all they can to detract from the solemnity of the occasion. When the ceremony is concluded the female relatives of the bride rush to kiss the bridegroom, while they put into his pockets lumps of sugar and fasten ribbons upon his breast. The bride receives no attention whatever. RURAL COP LIVES IN CLOVER Getting the Market's Best, Awaiting Millionaire's Return to Col- Cleveland, Ohio.—Constable George Morris, monarch of all he surveys in the village of Nottingham, now lolling in the lap of luxury, is having the time of his life at the country mansion of Patrick Calhoun, multimillionaire traction magnate and real estate operator. Miss Martha Calhoun, heiress, has given the retinue of servants orders to serve Constable Morris. Morris is at the mansion awaiting Calhoun's return from California to collect a judgment for $7,910 rendered by a California court. "Now, nothing like that; Miss Calhoun had the servants give me some, you know," is the way Morris met the accusation that he went home for some palamas. "Eat? I've been eating like a house aire up here. Anything I want, you know. This morning I had ham and herring, and well all the rest of the program. Haven't broken a plate yet. Nope, there's nothing doin' on the 'wine and the red stuff.' 'Twouldn't be proper with Pat anyway. But I'm not embarrassed because he's gone.'

More Spraying is Needed but There is Not Enough City Money to do This Thoroughly, Says Commissiier Storer. New York—Visitors to Central park within the last few days, and those who walk along the Fifth avenue side of the park, have been appalled at the destruction done to the fine elm trees by thousands of caterpillars, remarks a writer in the New York Tribune. They are the tussock moths, long known among landscape gardeners as one of the most persistent and destructive insects with which the hand and other sections of the limits of Central park they seem to have sprung into life in unusually large numbers this year. Charles Downing Lay, the landscape architect of the park, said recently that in a recent trip through the parks of Brooklyn and the Bronx he saw comparatively few of them. E. S. Avery, who lives at the Metropolitan club, and several other lovers of New York's fine trees, have called attention to this unfortunate state of affairs, and have not hesitated to say that unless the deadly moth situation is quickly and forcibly Central park and other sections of Manhattan island which possess hand, some trees will see many of the best specimens degenerated to decaying stumps before the approach of another spring. Landscape architects and authorites on trees who were asked yesterday if it were too late in the season to do anything to counteract the destructive effects of these pests said on the contrary that this was the time to get to work. As soon as the caterpillars emerge from their cocoons, which they are now doing by the thousands, they start upward for the green leaves, upon which they feed, and then return to the trunk to lay their eggs within the bark. If the trees are well sprayed with arsenate of lead mixture they will die before denuding the tree partially of the leaves. "This spraying is the second means of eradicating the moths," said William J. Zartmann yesterday. For ten years he was superintendent of parks in Brooklyn. "My method of fighting the tussock moth has been to have workmen clean off the trunk and branches thoroughly in the winter with wire brushes. The small cocoons are swept out of their hiding Type of Trees That Suffer. places, and, being caught on pieces of canvas under the tree, are then burned. This is a laborious job, for with large trees the men must get up to the top and scrape all the branches and one man cannot do much more than three trees a day. "The spraying comes when the moths first appear—anywhere from the end of June to the middle of July. If thoroughly applied by power spraying machines to every part of the tree one good spraying ought to be sufficient." Mr. Zartmann figured out the apportion cost of this work about $1.30 a tree. The spraying is the most costly. A crew of five men and a modern power spraying machine, he said, ought to clean about sixty trees a day. "One or two years' work is not enough," added Mr. Zartmann. "It must be faithfully followed out year after year, and then, while we cannot prevent the appearance of these insects entirely, they will be less in number and less destructive to the future beauty of the trees." Park Commissioner Stover, when asked that was being done to kill off the moths, said that they must propagation, said that he believed everything that could be done with the means at hand was being accomplished, and he added that spraying machines were at work in several parts of the park. Besides the caterpillars the remaining elms show indications of other diseases noticeable by the dead branches protruding in a most unpleasant way from the sides and HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1912. THE MANHOOD IN THE PIT "A strong man may put me in a pit, and keep me there, if he is strong enough. But I will act so that he will know that there's a man in that pit." It was a Negro who said this. He was speaking of the wrongs of the Negro race. It has a lesson for every man who feels that he is oppressed. Wrongs we must endure, but the wrong is half undone when he who is in the pit keeps his manhood unscathed. Does your employment seem beneath you? Are you subject to humiliations? You may not be able to curb the evils from which you outwardly suffer, but you may make respectable, and even noble, the pit, in which you are placed—by being a man. Marcus Aurellus Antoninus said that nothing harms a man which does not make him a worse man. Slavery, pain, poverty, the wrongs of enemies—all the harm the enslaver, because they make him a worse man—harm the inflicter of pain and the creator of poverty and the doers of --- --- ```markdown ``` SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MAN, Renominated for Vice President by Republicans at Chicago—Great Friend of Afro-American People. the wrong—but not the person suffering these things unless he allows them to make him a worse man. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was an emperor, and suffered only those wrongs which emperors suffer. But Epictetus, the slave, was of the same mind with him. And remember this, that no class of men can remain in the pit if each one sees to it that so far as he is concerned there shall be a man in the pit. Shackles fall from the limbs of real men. Individuals like Epictetus may be real men and also slaves—though Epictetus finally ruled his master by sheer manhood. But if all the slaves in Rome had been men like Epictetus would they have remained slaves? so! When men are in the pit they annihilate the pit. The greatest need of the world is manhood. The foregoing is an excerpt from a daily exchange and it goes to show that the author was something of a man himself to express such sentiments. At the recent session of the International Bible Students' Association at Washington, D. C., a resolution was adopted repudiating as thoroughly unscriptural "the teaching of a place, state or condition of hell-fire and brimstone for the torment of the wicked." This was very consoling to many of the people who don't care to be worried about their future so much and cannot conceive of a God who is all Love, punishing His children in any such manner. But it did not suit some of the Afro-American brethren, so they set apart last Sunday as "Hell fire Day." Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, announced that he would preach in the foremonon on "The Key to Hell." and in the evening on "Hell—With Fire in It, Too." We don't know what the outcome was, but he no doubt made things very warm for some of his hearers. The very revolutionary country Haiti, has had another disaster. The palace of President Cincinnatus Lecon te was destroyed by fire caused by a powder explosion Thursday and her perished in the flames. Four hundred others were also killed or injured. It is not known whether the explosion was by accident or design. Gen. Leconte was a mulatto between forty and fifty years of age. Mrs. Anna Charles Froman, of Boston, who has passed the 92nd mile stone in her life's journey toward the grave, attributes her longevity to the facts that she never wore a corset and has not bathed too frequently. She may be right in her belief, but she will not be able to get many of her sisters to follow her example, even with long life as a reward. Despite the fact that we have the great contest on between the G. O. P. elephant, the Democratic donkey, and the bull moose there is still a chance that we all will have something to eat; it is estimated that the value of this year's crops in the Northwest alone will aggregate ten billions of dollars. Says the Cleveland Gazette: "The member of the race who can support Roosevelt, NOW, has a political 'stomach' that an alligator or a shark would envy." And them's our sentiments. President Taft's action in vetoing the bill containing the seven-year tenure clause for government employees is highly commended by all fair minded men. WOMEN TO AID TAFT. "Endless Chain" System of Letters Planned to Increase Fund. Washington, Aug. 21.—Dollar contributions from 750,000 American women by the "endless chain" system of letters for the Taft campaign fund, is a new plan launched to help elect president Taft, it was learned today, following the visit here Tuesday of Chairman Hilles of the Republican national committee. Miss Mabel T. Boardman, national director of the American Red Cross Society and a close personal friend of the Tafts, is managing the "endless chain" campaign.

Practical Joke Causes Break Between Senators HELL IS SO NOT BAT FROM WILL MEET WASHINGTON—The colored brethren and sisters in the District of Columbia and the city of Washington are stirred up to a boiling point over the question of hell. The pastors of the various and sundry colored churches held a meeting the other day and in solemn conclave decided that there must be something "diddling" immediately to offset the effect of the recent action of the International Bible Students' association in going on record as believing there was no burning hell. If you take the fireworks out of hell according to some of the colored dispensers of "de gospel" in this city, you rob them of a great lever and a club over their uncertain congregations. The best way to keep a "nigger" in line is to convince him there is a hell and the hotter you make it and the more awful you can depict his future punishment unless he walks the "strait and narrow" the more apt he is to heed your injunctions, according to the leaders of the various flocks in the District. A regular honest-to-goodness-burning lake of brimstone and molten lead is the old fashioned kind of hell that has done yeoman service in making young negroes see the error of their ways in the past and has helped mightily the limited donations to foreign DID you ever attend a Decoration day celebration and see the local politicians rise up on the platform and deliver themselves of long and servil oratory? Did you ever notice that they are always dressed in the dignified and sober Prince Albert coat? No matter how hot the day none of them would ever think of rising to speak unless they were attired in this emblem of American statesmanship. After the local dignitaries had their say and the chairman rose to introduce the most important of them all, the representative in congress from the district or one of the United States senators, were you not impressed by his distinguished appearance? Could you imagine him going about in shirt sleeves, with vest unbuttoned and a handkerchief tied about his neck? No! A thousand times No! You could not. But they did It's warm in Washington in the summertime. Some people say it's hot and some more people say some other things about it. One day the papers print an interview with some one of the leaders that congress will adjourn early in August. The story arouses hope in many hearts. A few days after they print another interview with some other man just as prominent who says that there will be no adjournment until the middle of September. So it goes. Meanwhile it is hard to get together a quorum of the faithful to transact business. The other day when an important bill was up before the house there were not enough members present and the sergeant at arms was instructed to go out and go. A BABY boy arrived at the residence of Thomas Fronesack a few days ago. He is a very remarkable youngster. Any one who has anything to say to the contrary does so at his own peril. Fronesack has promised to "lick" the man who dares to tell him to his face that that boy isn't the finest baby in the world. And Fronesack makes good, too. The other afternoon Fronesack and his brother-in-law, Felix Wosnack, were sitting together on the Fronesack porch. Fronesack was discussing the baby. He has done nothing else but discuss that infant since he put in his appearance. "Did you see the smart way he doubled up his little fists this morning?" said Fronesack to Wosnack. "My, that boy is going to have strong hands." At this moment a casual acquaintance of Fronesack's passed at the gate. "Hear you got a new baby, Mr. Fronesack," said he. "You bet," responded Fronesack; "the finest little baby boy in the world." The visitor was conducted into the SENATOR Coke, OF MASSACHUSETTS I BELIEVE "THE late Senator Coke of Texas and Private John Allen of Mississippi were warm personal friends and for years dined at the same table at the old Metropolitan hotel," said Col. Charles A. Edwards, the noted correspondent, the other day. "The propensity of Private John to work off a joke even on as dignified a stateman as was Richard Coke came very near creating a permanent break in their amicable relations. I may say here that the Texan was an intense southerner, naturally of an irascible temperament. "Well, to get back to my story as to the trick played him by the gentleman from Tupelo. It all came about through missions and the colored pastors here beg to enter a protest against is abolishment. Others may discard the old time honored hell, but as for the aforesaid pastors they propose to hold right on to it. They reaffirm their undivided belief in the hell of the fathers; the same old hell that they have taught their flocks of, and that is so hot, that if a colored brother gets in ten thousand miles of it he will smell like a wet dog on a hot stove. Some of the younger members of the various congregations were inclined to harken unto the superior judgment of the Bible Students' association, and were a little inclined to turn a willing ear to the cooling news. So gratifying was the intelligence to them that they were getting real cheerful, and there was some talk of holding a regular jollification over the event, in which everybody would be invited to 'cut loose and have a good time' and when doubtless many respectable persons would have got all 'lift up' in honor of the occasion. The pastors held their meeting, however, and decided to put a crimp in all this wild joy. On the following Sunday, therefore, at the sundry churches all over the city, the colored brother who has been congratulating himself that he could, when he got ready, lay depredating hands upon any unprotected chicken roost without fear of having at some vague time in the future to wrap his system around a few gallons of molten lava - while splashing around in a lake of burning brimstone, got a rude jar that upset his calculations. rest any members that he could find and bring them in. They were rounded up from their offices and from the long cool corridors and cloak-rooms of the capitol where they were basking in the breezes from electric fans or in the solitude of their offices where they had discarded their coats and were endeavoring to keep cool. "What is holding up the adjournment?" was asked a representative. "It's that darn lazy senate," said he, "and a lot of men who take up the time of the sessions with long political speeches that hold up the business that ought to have precedence." The house could adjourn in three days," he continued, "but they will have to wait for the bills now before the senate to pass that body and come to them for ratification." There are only two or three important bills up before congress that must be settled before the members can go home. In the meantime the statesmen will continue to swelter. Most of them would be glad of the opportunity to get home and attend to the work of fixing their political fences for their re-election this fall. Some of them feel, perhaps, that they can't be re-elected and want to stay in office as long as possible. At any rate they must continue to stay at the capitol and swelter until the close of the session. MY BABY IS BETTER AS YOURS house and the Fronesack baby was proudly exhibited. He did not seem impressed. "He's a nice enough baby," said the visitor, "but he's just like all kids." "What's that?" demanded Fronesack, "you come into my house and tell me to my face that this is just an ordinary baby. I can lick the man who says that." "Well, I said what I said," retorted the visitor, "and I ain't taking it back. That baby of ours has got your baby skinned to—" Bang! Also bing, biff, and bam! Fronesack waded into the stranger. The police came finally. They locked Fronesack and Wosnack up at the police station. The visitor went to the hospital. He was unable to give his name and address there. He wasn't able to talk. the action of John Allen in allowing his beard to grow out during a vacation of congress. Throughout the session he had gone clean-shaved, so that on his reappearance the following winter with a full beard not even the negro bellboys at his hotel knew him, and he had to introduce himself to the proprietor. "The only other person to whom the joose legislator disclosed himself was Senator Berry of Arkansas, and the latter, at Allen's request, took him into the presence of Coke and introduced the humorist as Mr. Beeman, a newly elected member from Mississippi. "Very glad, Mr. Beeman, to meet you,' said Senator Coke, rising and extending his hand with great savvity. Shaking the proffered hand, the impostor drawled out: 'Very glad also to meet you, senator. Senator Coke of Massachusetts, I believe?' "No, sir; not from Massachusetts by a d—— sight, answered the hostempered Texan, snorting." COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. S.

The deceased was a hotel man by profession and was well known in the Twin Cities, and, in fact, all over the country. He was a man of high ideas and aspirations and was liberal with his money in any good cause. His funeral was held at Lyles' undertaking rooms on Wabasha street last Monday afternoon, the chapel being filled with friends who came to pay their last tributes of respect. The services began by the singing of "Nearer, My God, to Thee," followed by a prayer by Rev. J. M. Boddy. "Rock of Ages" was then sung. The funeral discourse was given by Rev. H. P. Jones, and was quite eulogistic of the deceased. Mrs. Addie C. Minor presided at the organ and sang "Some Sweet Day." There were several beautiful floral tributes.

When you've had a dozen years of wedded bliss. ‘fo celebrate a bit is not amiss, Wedding days and thelr anniver- saries have always been deemed. fit occasions for celebrating; usually with music and feasting and a general good ume. So it was very natural that Mr. and Mrs. Herman Simpson thought it would be eminently fit and proper to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of theirs, and the result was that their friends, both far and near, were bid- den io repair to No. 17 Metbourne ave- nue on Thursday even.ng, Aug, 15, to celebrate their “Silk and’Linen Wed- ing.” Although Mr. and Mrs. Simpson have not any ocular evidences that they have endeavored to obey the biblical injunction, “be fruitful and mutiply,” this may account for the fact that they have accumulated a splendid home in “Prospect Park,” that beauti- ful suburb of Minneapolis. And this splendid home was the scene of a splendid gathering of the representa- live citizens of the Twin Cities, who had come in response to thelr invita- Uons io eat, drink and be merry. Of course ail things had been pre- Vared to celebrate with the proper eclat, and the result was most grat fying to the large concourse of thelr friends who gathered there as well as to tite host and hostess themselves. ‘The house was brilliantly illuminat- cil with electricity and tastefully deco- rated, the color scheme being pink, green and white.
