The first fire engine seen in America was received at Boston in 1679. It was made in England, and was of the type called "hand squirters." The instrument required the labor of three men, one on each side to hold the machine steady and to direct the nozzle, while the third man worked the plunger. This contrivance was not much of an improvement over the "slipphones used in conflagrations," described by Herd and Alexandra in the pneumatic journal about 150 B. Q. At the close of the seventeenth century a slight advance was made in Newham's improved engine, patented in England, which consisted of a strong cistern of oak, mounted on wheels, and a suction pipe of leather. Steam fire engines had their beginning in England in 1880, when Bratthwaite built an engine of six horsepower, weighing 5,000 pounds. Though its performances were highly spoken of, this attempt to apply steam to fire engines cannot be said to have been successful. The engine built by A. B. Latt of Cincinnati was a giant engine that was a vast improvement over its predecessors, and it was in the Ohio city, in 1863, that the steam fire engine first definitely supplanted the old style of fire-fighting apparatus. Statues of Great Men. The fashion of placing statues of popular heroes in parks and squares has prevailed for a long time, and is apparently not losing any of the popular favor, says the Ave Maria. It would not be so prevalent, however, if Rosnelli's plan were carried out. The great Italian composer was waited on one day by a delegation who informed him that a statue of himself was to be erected in white marble, and that it would adorn the public square of his natal city. The artist inquired how much the statue would cost. "Twelve thousand francs," was the reply. "I said Rossini, "give me that sum, and on state occasions Till go and stand on the pedestal myself, so that instead of a mere copy you'll have the original." Commercial Morals Low in Japan China, for long centuries a highly developed nation, has an elaborate code of commercial ethics. Japan, on the other hand, which is a nation comparatively new to civilization, is not so scrupulous, says a writer in System. He continues: "In Japan they say a contract is never a settled thing, whereas in China it is absolutely binding. The Japanese admit they have no traditions in trade, and the average Japanese merchant is firmly convinced that if he orders goods today, and the market declines before they arrive, he does perfectly right to refuse them. Banks in Japan recognize this trait in Japanese character. There is no such thing as lending money to a man on his personal note." Power of the Old Song. Consider the old song. Immediately all the things that make up the present existence fade into dim obscurity and for a while, for the duration of the melody at least, we live in glory of the song and its association. One thing has remained the same and that is the song. The years have made no change in the beauty or the meaning of that. In the face of the constant change and activities which mean man's existence and the world's progress, the song has remained the same. With the keen insight of human nature, authors have keen appreciative of the power of the haunting melody, and have made it the theme of their work. FOODS WITH CORN AS BASIS Some Really Excellent Dishes That Are Popular in Different Parts of the World. Malze was the chief aboriginal food of America and is still a favorite article of diet in Central America. "Samp" was adopted by the early colonists of New England from the Indians; it consisted, according to Roger Williams, of "Indian corn beaten and washed and eaten hot with milk or butter"; it remained, was the name given to maize and corn that been baked with alkali, causing the skin of the grain to peel away and leave the soft inner portion. "Succostach" originally meant an ear of maize, but was afterwards used to describe a mixture of corn and beans. "Hoe cake" was taken over from the southern Indians. The Pueblo Indians ate grilled baked on stone stoves, calling it "paper bread." "Hulled corn or hominy, ground into a paste," says H. J. Spinden in his account of the Mexican dietary. "furnishes dough for the tortillas or unleavened cakes that take the place of bread in Mexico. Although the ordinary tortilla is rather soggy, it is silkulous when made thin. For a breakfast dish nothing can surpass the taste of tortillas. The cigar fashion with a little meat cheese or chill pepper as a surprise in the center. This is toasted before the fire until it is crisp and crackling. Pinole is, properly speaking, a parched meal made from maize and other seeds. The word is applied to a variety of dishes such as stews of maize, meat and chili peppers." HAVE MANY GOOD REMEDIES Chinese Physicians by No Means All Ignorant of Fine Points of Their Profession. Writing of a recent decree of the Chinese government, permitting autopsies on the human body, Millard's Review (Shanghai) says that it is only lately that Chinese doctors discovered that the bodies of Orientals had the same internal arrangement as those of Occidentals. They had been taught that the organs were arranged much in the manner of a modern office building, the elevator shaft as the connecting floor, or in a ledge. "It must be admitted, however, that the Chinese practitioners, through long experience and through the custom of handling down medical secrets from one generation to another, do have many excellent native remedies. One Chinese medical treatise indicates no less than 98 different types' of pulse, and another form of treatment is that of puncturing the body with a needle. A chart of the human body contains 700 spots which are indicated as the places where it is safe to insert a needle without injuring a vital organ. Quotation is long and complex, known in China. Belief in the sanctity of the human body in relation to future life has up to the last few years prevented the use and development of surgery." Play at Something. Are you one of those who laugh at those who ride hobbies? Did you ever notice that a man doesn't amount to much who isn't a little batty over something outside of the way he makes a living. Look around at the unusual men and women you know and see if all of them haven't sidelines in the way of work. These queries are due to a story of a big man who "clears his mind" every evening by driving a motorcar through the worst traffic in the world. He could just as well take easier routes, hire an expert chauffeur or not drive at all, but the trip makes him forget such little things as money deals and big operations. Use every day some portions of your body other than those with which you make a living, either mind or muscle. Just because you're grown is no reason why you should not play—Toledo Blade. Bluffing. We all know to what desperate lengths some can be carried by their desire to be important or even to seem important. It is as if they felt that they could not endure, making this earthly pilgrimage without attracting notice to themselves. Openly or coverly they will try to give their lives enhancement. They are pitiful when they resort to pretense and deceit. And yet even here there is a certain imaginative appeal, a longing for a certain kind of shades, to do for themselves what the writers of fiction do for characters that entertain and charm and thrill—Exchange. He'a Some Help. Belle—Her husband is very good at figures, you know. Beulah—Really? "Oh, yes. He's in a bank." "Think of that." "She always takes him to her knitting club." "What can he do at a knitting club?" "He counts the stitches so she can talk." Marching Orders Patience—What's become of that young man who used to call on you? Patrice—You mean the one papa didn't like? "That's the one." "Oh, he's gone to be a soldier." "What's he know about being a soldier, I'd like to know?" "Oh, papa showed him how to march." MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS THE APPEAL. POPULAR PROVERBS IN CHINA Many Sayings There Remarkably Like Those That Are Common In the West. Some of the Chinese proverbs resemble ours, such as "Too many cooks spoil the dog" and "A man must beat his own drum and paddle his own canoe." But it is not necessary to assume that by any process they were copied from English proverbs. Similar sayings arise in different countries largely because the human mind works everywhere in the same way and has much the same material to work on. Of proverbs that are distinctly Chinese the following may be taken as the sky, but Soochow and Hangchow are here below: "Change your old nature or you will be up a tree;" "When you are very angry do not go to law, and when you are very hungry do not make verses;" "An avaricious heart is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant;" "A boat straightens when it gets to a bridge;" "A deaf priest can hear a hen crow;" "After a typhoon there are pears to gather;" "A good drum does not need a heavy stick;" "When young do not go to Canton;" No needle has a point at both ends; "The rice is not easy to carry;" "The load does not carry the ass;" "A stone lion does not fear the rain;" "A crazy man hopes the heavens will fall, but a poor man hopes for a riot." GREAT IDEA FAILED TO WORK Might Have Been All Right But for Unfortunate Reason, the Investor Could Not Escape. The poets and others, mainly others, have sung of the virtues and blessings of sleep. No class of men guards sleep as carefully as the doctors. Some one, with all the wise theories of advertising, decided to mall his little call for business to the medical men of Indianapolis. He spent a large sum getting up some real snake stuff. He figured out all the psychology and personal appeal, with all of the big "t" stuff he could, and then some. He laid plans to reap a harvest. He did—not. His good money went to the printer. More went to Uncle Sam for stamps. This wise ad writer put a special delivery stamp on each of his letters. Result: The doctors of Indianapolis were awakened about 1 a. m. to sign for a bunch of printed matter. Every doctor seen says he tore up the booklet and with curses deposited the booklet and in the waste paper basket or elsewhere. With groans and harsh words the medical men went back to bed. It was a great idea—Indianapolis News. Of course we are entitled to it. And we should take great pains to secure the fullest measure of it. So much may be taken for granted; the important question is, when and where shall we find pleasure? Sir Walter Bagshot gave his opinion that business is much more amusing than pleasure. I suppose he meant that a man who is in love with his work will get more real "fun" out of it than was ever gathered in so-called "places of amusement." Many of our pleasures do little more for us than kill time. They do not kill care, for it comes back again the next morning. He is a wise man who more and more learns to get his amusement out of the serious work he is doing. Then if he takes an occasion on a day for sport or the "passing show," he must do his real task in life to find his real entertainment. What finer art than that of having a good time in the thing one has to do? Immensely wiser and more profoundly philosophical than the practice of planning for the good time afterward—George Clarke Peck. "I want you to clean my shop window," said Mr. Jenkins to Muggins, the village champion window cleaner. "Do you think you can do it while I am away for an hour or so?" "Oh, yes; glad to do it," replied Muggins. And while Mr. Jenkins was out, I will and completed the job with a vergence. "Muggins," said Jenkins, entering the shop and glancing at the cleaner's work with approval, "you've done the job well. Why. There isn't a speck or scratch to be seen on the whole pane. Here's your money and an extra shilling." "I'm glad you're satisfied with it," murmured Muggins pocketing the money somewhat nervously. "I course I am. Why. I can hardly believe all glass there at all, it looks so clear." "Well, there ain't," said Muggins, moving toward the door. "Me and the ladder fell through the glass just after we started."-London Tit-Bits. America's Severest Winter. A letter from John Winter to Rev. Dr. Cotton Mather describes graphically the severest winter and deepest snow ever recorded in America: "It held the north half of the continent in its grip. In the Illinois country in this winter of 1716 and 1717 the snow fell to a depth of six feet on the prairies and bided so long that all wild animal life, such as the larger game - buffalo, all deer and antelope - fled. The buffalo and antelope never crossed the Mississippi river, and these two species (pecularly plains and prairie ruminants) never came back, but elk and deer and other large game did." Pleasure Cleaned Out. GORITZ TORN TO PIECES IN LAST GERMAN DRIVE Correspondent Sees Shell-Battered City Just Before the Italians Retreated. Newspaper Men Have Narrow Escapes as They Watch Artillery Battle—Outlines of City Still There, but it is a City Sieved by Bombardment. Headquarters of the Italian Army, Northern Italy—Goritz is a symbol, "On to Goritz!" was the cry of the fuke of Akuas's soldiers as they pressed through the little town of Luutico a few months ago, fighting their way down to the Isonzo river, then across the western bridge leading to the city, when the cry changed to "Goritz at last!" This this was reversed when the overwhelming invading force of Austro-Germans took up this same cry, "On to Goritz!" pressing down from the north, across the northern bridge to the city and ending with "Goritz at last!" Thus Goritz has become a symbol of the huge change which has occurred. It was one of the furthest points forward on the Italian line, the center of a vast arc of fighting front stretching from Flozzo, far in the north, down to the Adriatic at Montefelcone, and it was the most populous and important city in the greatest territory which the Italian army had sliced off southwestern Austria—some six hundred square miles in all. And so Goritz was symbolic of that entire region which has twice changed hands in this war, and of the furthest advance in the first Italian campaigns. I went to Gortz and saw the city on the eve of its agony. It was the last trip made there by anyone outside the military before the retreat began. The roar of the great Austro-Germann offensive already bad commenced, though for the moment it was taken for a spasmatic renewal of the cannon-which had been going on for weeks. Within twenty-four hours the enemy and crossed the Isoro 15 miles further north, turned the Italian left wing, seated back the second army under General Capello, threatened to envelop the third army under the duke of Auson, brother of the kings of Italy, and put in execution that gigantic hammer stroke by which they hoped to finish Italy and cripple the whole entente. Roads Left Clear. My trip was made by invitation of the supreme command, with staff editor from headquarters as escort. As we sped along the road in the big army automobile I noted there were no troops along the road and bordering fields as one sees approaching Verdun or in the Somme or Flanders. This abstraction of the rear was part of the system adopted, as explained. All the reprovisioning of the army was done at night and the roads were left clear by day most of the time. Ten miles out we crossed the Italian-Austrian frontier and entered Austria. At Cormors, an Austrian village on the road, the signs above the shops were all in Italian, showing the Italians were right in the claim that all this section was racially Italian. The cannonade began to be heard for the first time ten miles west of Goritz—a low rumble to the north and east, with now and then the muffled boom of a great gun. Day by day the fire was getting heavier, said our escort, who knew the ground by heart, and he added that the enemy forces had been increased from 120 battalions to 380 battalions. As we passed through the town of Luincin, a far-out suburb of Goritz, it was seen to be half destroyed. Along the main street ran rows of battered buildings, with walls half down and shell holes making ugly gasses. But business was going on, men were at the cafes and women and girls strolled the street unconcernedly. Now the automobile turned up the steep side of a hedgerail hill, one of the outer defences of the bloody man-to-handle fighting occurred. One could see the old trench and wire system, how grass grown. All this hill had been swept bare by shell fire, but nature had kindly obliterated the scars and the hillside was again smiling with its verdure. The sound of firing had now increased to an enormous roar as we passed Padgora hill. Turning the corner of a shattered wall we saw the Isonzo river lying ahead and on the further side Goriz rising in terraces with the huge battlements of the citadel towering on the right. The river looked about the width of the Potomac at Washington, but with swiffer current from the mountain feeders. Along the edge of the river ran rows of shell-torn walls with gaping windows. This whole water front had been torn to pieces, and the buildings were demolished remnants of the buildings were occupied and work along the river wharves was proceeding. Old Bridges Replaced. The Isonzo river was crossed by the wooden bridge which Italian engineers built after all the old bridges had been blown up. On one side lay the wreck Roads Left Clear. NOT SO EASY TO BE BAD One Who Tries It May Come to At tach new New Testament to Biblical New Testament It is a popular fallacy that it is much easier to be bad than good. So firmly rooted is this error that it is universally accepted, H. Varley writes in Judge. Yet it is very easy to this error for the absurdity of it. Imagine yourself, for a moment, having decided to be as bad as possible. Throw off all thought of defense of law, of caring for the opinion of the judge of heeding the still, small voice within you. Here you are, then, ready to be bad. Not just ordinarily, pretty bad—but bad to the nth degree. What shall you do? Murder? That's ally, for there is none you hate enough and if there was the fear of eventually sitting in a chair not upholstered for comfort but for speedy demise would deter you from murder. Rob a bank? However delightful the prospect, you can't tear open iron braces, your bare hands nor dig through graves with your fingernails. Elope with your neighbor, wife. That is the most ridiculous of all, for you know your neighbor and that removes any wish to endure, even for a moment, what he suffers indefinitely. So you stand, and mentally go through the whole category of badness without finding a single thing you can do without much more trouble than you could perform some good deed. The worst you can picture yourself doing (that is feasible) is such a common thing you must despise it for its very lengthy. So you see the difficulty of being just a little bad—the difficulty of being just a little bad. Then the Biblical injunction comes to you with an entirely new meaning: "The way of the transgressor is hard." MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK Inglenoise English Officer Devied Scheme by Brian They Earn "That Daily Bully" Monkeys actually are made to work in Malabar, India, which is perhaps the only place in the world where they earn their salt. The Malabar monkey is of the fine species known as the langur. It is very warm at Malabar, and there is a fan called the punka, which used to be kept in motion by a slave. It required a slave to work each punka, but now every punka in Malabar is worked by a monkey. It was an English officer who conceived the idea of making the langur work in that manner. The fan is a movable frame covered with canvas and suspended from the ceiling. The motion is caused by pulling a cord. The officer ties the hands of a languor to one of the cords, and then by means of another cord put the machine in motion. Of course, the monkey's hand went up and down, and the animal wondered that sort of a game was being played. Then the officer patted its head and fled, candy till soon the langur thought it fine to work the punka. The experiment was successful, and now thousands of monkeys are in harms. Who Built It? Summing up his interpretation of the Amlens cathedral, the "Bible of Amiens," Ruskin asks: "Who built it, shall we ask? God and man is the first true answer. The stars in their courses built it, and the nations. Greek Athens labors here, and the Roman Father Jove and the Franks. The German labors here and the Franks. The German mighty Ostrogoth and wasted Idumea. The actual man who built it scarcely cared to tell you he did so; nor do the historians brag of him. Any quantity of heraldries of knaves and fainteurs you may find in what they call their history; but this is probably the first time you ever read the name of Robert of Luzarches. I say he "scarcely cared"; we are not sure that he cared at all. He signed his name nowhere, that I can hear of. He was the recent intitles cut by English renames destroys of immortality, here and there about the edifice, but Robert the builder, or at least the master of that building, cut on his no stone of it." Give "Overt" a Chance. Many a fine adjective has been spoiled by being hooked up, in some facile phrase, to a commonplace noun. For example, overt. A never in my life, writes H. L. Mencken in the New York Sun, have I encountered overt save in front of act. Thus joined and polished, it is mouthed abominably by lawyers and newspaper editorial writers; the literate fauna of a superior type avoid it almost altogether. And yet it is a fine adjective, a juicy adjective, an adjective worth knowing better. Why诚实 honesty, overt destiny, overt love? Earlier in this life I made black eye. Earlier in this life I made red-haired, and remember her oleaginous kiss every time the barber's brush slides across my face. Let us appoint a committee to get overt out of jail. A Useful Husband "Why in the world does his wife call him Picket Fence?" "Well, she says he's easy to see through." "And, then, he's very useful around the house." "How do you propose to support my daughter, young man?" "But I'm only proposing to marry her, sir." In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. TWO LEGENDS ABOUT RIVER Both Concern Arizona Stream, but Only One Really Popular Stream The Hassayampa is an Arizona river which stands for the spirit of his native desert to the son of western Arizona. There are two legends connected with the waters of Hassayampa, one subscribed to by natives and the other by irreverent aliens. Both parties agree that the waters of this desert stream have powers surpassing the normal. According to the native of Arizona, whosever shall taste the waters of Hassayampa is thenceforward bound to the Arizona desert by ties stronger than bonds of steel. Drink once of the magic current, and you must inevitably return to drink again. Wherever you may wander, in some quiet hour you will hear the Hassayampa calling, and either you are in Cape Town or Hongkong or Port Said, you will forthwith take船 on the trail of another drink. That is why the Arizonaians in foreign states and lands frequently band themselves into clubs called Hassayampa. A look at the Hassayampa itself will convince the unprejudiced stranger that some magic power must reside in the waters. Otherwise nobody would want a second drink. The other legend of the Hassayampa is more often retailed by aliens, though occasionally a native will admit its prevalence and the existence of a certain amount of corroborative evidence. This legend affirms that whosoever takes a drink of Hassayampa water is thenceforward utterly and constitutionally incapable of telling the truth on any important matter. So firmly is this belief become that at one period of Attica he stead of applying the short and unply term to a man, they called him a "Hassayampa," which is a term certainly long and in the opinion of some persons beautiful—Chicago News. BEFORE DAYS OF PRINTING People Then Employed Two Forms of Writing the manuscript and English The differences between script and print are to be referred to a date long before the invention of printing. We must not suppose that the ancient scribes, in writing papers of but temporary value, would labor to follow the same alphabet that the carver employed upon the monuments of stone destined for all time. As far back as records have been preserved there was once a curative script of writing. Instances of this form dantly in Pompeii of random remarks by the ordinary citizen scribbling idle sentiments upon the walls. The alphabet of the monuments was commonly the model for the writers of formal literature, professional penmen who looked forward to the library preservation of the works upon which they were engaged. Business men used the curative script, which was far more readily and correspondingly more rapid than the monumental and manuscript hand that had been the parent of the printed letter; the curative hand is the ancestor of penmanship. Fuel Problem In China Mrs. Calvin Wright, a missionary at Tangheowfu, tells of famine conditions in China. She writes, according to the Christian World: "Between us and the sea is a field of the tall grain we call gaolang, which has been almost completely stripped of its leaves by the poor of the city, trying to find fuel for their kitchen fires. When we cut our millet the poor came out in families and the hired reapers seemed to take them all for Ruths, for each woman and child had 'handfuls of purpose' and went away with baskets and armfuls of grain. It seemed a pity to stop them, but the memory of 100 mouths to feed led us to send them word to wait until the reapers were done. So the gleaners sat in groups among the graves or by the roadside and waited. When the last stalk was cut and carried off they pounced upon the land and raked it bare. We had our lawn cleared of wild grass for nothing, as the gleaners were only too glad to pull up the roots for fuel." Coconute Make Good Mock Pearls. The coconuts of the Malay peninsula sometimes produce pearls that are highly prized by the natives, says the Family Herald. The stones are not unlike the pearls of the mollusks, and are similar in composition to the oyster pearls, having calcium carbonate and a little organic matter. The mollusk pearl comes into existence by the efforts of the oyster to dispose of irritating particles that have entered the shell; but the coconut could have no cause for producing these concretions, which, while they have great similarity to pearl are not pearls. These concretions form just beneath the stem, and a pure white pearl brings a high price, as it is supplanted by the natives to possess some kind of a chalice, known where the coconut pearl has been sold as a mollusk product, but such instances are rare. Accommodating Flash "Oh, yes, sah. Dat fish am fresh, sah." "Well, it's been a long time out of the water." MOVIES MUST DRIP GLOOM Picture Dramaa That Have Happy Endings Can Popu- popular in Russia. Four and five-act movie dramas of the highly emotional and sentimental kind are popular in Russia. Cowboy activities, murders and burglaries do not appeal to these audiences. Rough comedy is wasted on the cheapest Russian audience. They do not understand it. American pictures, as a rule, do not appeal to the Russian taste. They want a drama woven usually around the "eternal triangle;" the men must cover, the women must, the women weak but nails. A weeping mother or the deathbed of a beloved father is always very impressive. There must be a death in the drama, preferably the suicide of hero or heroine, with the other one going into the cloister at the end. The ideal picture play for Russian popular audiences must not, under any circumstances, have a happy ending. The Russians use a great deal of descriptive and explanatory material on the films in showing their own dramas. They depend upon it largely for the action. They do not care nearly so much in the pictures as for postings indicating their Academy and deathbed scenes should always be photographed to the last detail, but nearly everything else may be written and read. IN DAYS OF PONY EXPRESS Service, of Course, Would Be Laughed at Now, But Was Really Remarkable Then. The pony express, a romantic feature of the West of that day, was part of a mall line from New York to San Francisco. Between St. Joseph, Mo., the western terminus of the railway, and Sacramento, the distance was traversed by horsemen mounted on swift and durable ponies, each of which traveled sixty miles, and then turned over his mail bags to another. The weight carried was not to exceed ten pounds, and the charge was $5 in gold for each quarter of an ounce. A letter or parcel weighing an ounce, now carried for 3 cents, cost $20 in the days of the pony express. By the aid of the pony carriers the distance between New York and San Francisco was covered in 14 days, a truly remarkable performance, considering the vast distance and the character of the pony carriers by the brave riders. The money were in constant danger in many sections of the route from hostile Indians, but they well paid, their salary being $1,200 a month. The pony express lasted two years, being abandoned when the telegraph line across the continent was completed. How Do Men Break Down? Be assured that there is no chance of your breaking down—although there will be times when you will try to fool yourself with his idea. This thought of breaking down indeed is one of the illusions of mediocrity. It is the excuse which every lazy man presents to himself. It is moral astigmatism. The great fact is that men do not break down from overwork so much as is commonly supposed. As they go upward in the scale of increased activity, increased responsibility only acts upon them as a natural stimulant and carries them along. If hard work and worry killed men so easily, most of the successful business men of America would be dead already. No! What takes men is due more to what they take into their stomach rather than what they take into their minds.—Physical Culture. When Sick. Go to a "Vet." "Some of the best medicines for people are dog medicines," said a physician. "You see, all sorts of remedies are prescribed for human complaints, and sometimes they are beneficial. Many of them are not the best medicine, which may be more or less justified. "But a dog medicine is very sure to be a good thing. It wouldn't sell if it wasn't. And what is good for a dog is likely to be good for a human being—supposing that he really knows what is the matter with him. "A doctor who started in business with other equipment than a domestic prescriber, representing dog medicines (supposing him to be a fair diagnostician) ought to make a fair professional success." Famous Military Commanders Napoleon regarded Wellington as able, but lucky. He considered Tilly and Wallenstein far better generalis than Gustaf Adolf. Turenne he placed far in advance of Frederick the Great "if I had a man like Turenne as my second in command during my campaigns," he said, "I should now be master of the world." Hannibal, according to Plutarch, sometimes ranked Alexander, sometimes Pyrhus as the foremost general of all time. Sculpt he placed second. Himself he ranked but third or fourth. Posterity has modified his verdict to the advantage of his fame. He Had Changed. Mother—Why didn't you speak to that little boy who just passed? Tommie—I don't know him, mama. "Yes, you do know him.

SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1918 THE CITY ELECTION. The Battle of the Ballots on last Tuesday resulted very much as was hoped and expected. There really never was any good reason to treat Hodgson would fail to win out, other than that engendered by over-confidence, and failure on the part of many to vote. This, however, did not occur, for which we are thankful, as seldom before, if ever, has there been a candidate for mayor, who had made so many public utterances expressing a belief in the unqualified brotherhood of man, as Mayor-elect Hodgson. These utterances were made before the mayorality bee had gotten into his bonnet, and there was nothing to be gained from a political standpoint by giving expression to the sentiments he held unless they were genuine and heartfelt. Believing that this was the case with Mr. Hodgson, we feel that we voice the sentiments of a very large majority of his colored constituents in tendering heartfelt congratulations upon his victory which we helped to bring to him; and, we now feel that hence forward we will have a friend at court. Long live Larry Ho! With the rest of the winning ticket we are very well satisfied and only in the case of two or three would we care for a change. There were very few surprises and that the will of the people was expressed very decisively in every case is very evident. There have been only a few changes in the offices filled and as we are well acquainted with the present encumbents and are satisfied they will continue to give as good account of their stewardships as before we see no reason why the city government may not roll right along in its usual groove as though greased for the occasion. All hall the new administration! IMMUNE It was assumed that the "Official Bulletin" would be more reliable than the daily press because the newspapers are in many instances owned and FOR A SHARE IN THE NEW WORLD DEMOGRACY NATIONAL ORGANIZER APPEALS TO RACE TO PREPARE TO SEND DELEGATES TO LIBERTY CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D. C., Our Paramount Duty. Realizing that the World War in Europe has already removed race discriminations and political 'disabilities from every proscribed class in Europe, except the Armenians and that the Entente Allies are fighting to relieve these; realizing that now the Colored American stands as the worst prescribed person in any civilized country in the world; realizing that the United States through its president, and cabinet officers declares its reason for entering into the European war to is promote liberty and democracy over the world; realizing that the United States has no right to war, but that hundreds of thousands of our young men are subject to be compelled by law to risk disease and death as soldiers in this war; realizing that all the classes in Europe who have secured rights have assembled together and presented their demands for this reward for fighting; the New England League, on June 13, 1917, called a national Colored conference on the issue of world democracy for Americans of African extraction, which formed the National Colored Liberty Conference and elected Prof. Allen W. Whiting. While President Wilson is declaring that the U. S. A. is fighting for "World Democracy," disfranchisement, Jim-Crowism, Lynching and even Massacre go on at home, and the government itself, is creating new segregations for this very army of democracy. It will be to the everlasting shame of our race if at this time when all oppressed people have formally fall to assemble and present our claims for rights. Unless we secure redress out claim to rights denied, we Colored Americans of the entire country fail to assemble and present our boys are drafted to fight for "World Democracy" disfranchisement will be abolished and WE OURSELVES WILL BE TO BLAME FOR NOT RACIALLY DEMANDING IT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. We have never seen and will never see again such a time as this, hence every Colored community is in duty bound to send delegates. Every literary, political, civic, fraternal and race organization and every religious society, COMMUNITY LIBERTY COMMITTEE, will duty be to get all local bodies and organizations to send a delegate. Also to hold a town or city election of delegates at some of our Colored churches on or before May 19 or 20. We are not forming any new organization. The Grand Organizer is backed by the officers of the Conference, Rev. A. C. Snyder, R. L. Sec., Mrs. M. Monroe Trotter, Exec. Sec.; Rev. M. F. Sydes, R. L. Sec.; Mrs. M. Cravat, R. L. Sec.; Klugh, Chunn, Treas.; Mrs. Sarah J. Allen, Corr. Sec.; H. H. Harrison, N. Y. Chairman Exec. Board; Rev. I. B. Waters, 2nd Vice; Rev. S. S. Crockett, N.

We be in charge of a clerk, and where all speaking engagements, and all other communications of the organizer should be sent. Prof. Whaley is charged with securing delegates and raising funds for the Congress, making his report weekly to the Exec. Secretary and Treasurer. Secure delegates.

Experience has demonstrated, however, that the Official Bulletin is also edited by a partisan, and one who is not restrained, as a private editor is, by the danger of loss of subscribers if he publishes misstatements. The last heard of Francis J. Heney, who came to Washington to "bust the trusts," the Supreme Court had refused to grant him the right to paw over all the papers of the meat companies. Heney has subsided. It is remarked in Washington that Heney came in like a lion and went out like one of Bo-peep's lams—leaving his tail behind him. The country is too full of fulminate to have such a firebrind at large. Sunday, June 23, will be Liberty Day in the colored churches of the District of Columbia. The National Colored Liberty Congress proper will open Tuesday morning, June 25, Monday the 24th, to be given over to registration and meeting of the Board of Managers. "The Aim and Object of this Congress of delegates from Colored churches and organizations is to press the just claim of the Colored American citizens of the U. S. A. to share in the world democracy for which they are subject to fight under the flag of the Republic and to take positive measures to secure from the Government guarantee of the abolition of disfranchisement and of all castes discriminations, civil and political." THE DRIVE FOR LIBERTY The movement for the Liberty Congress was inaugurated in Boston, June 13 of last year at a session held in Faneuil Hall, the cradle of liberty, at a national conference called by the New England League. A Liberty Conference was started as a national committee to arrange for a National Colored Liberty Congress. Rev. A. C. Powell of New York is president; Prof. A. W. Whalley of Boston is national organizer; W. M. Trotter, executive secretary. A board of managers was begun with Robert H. Harrison of New York as chairman. This board is to be augmented. The purpose of the Congress is to press the just claim of Colored Americans to share in the world democracy for which they are all subject to fight under the flag and to take positive measures to secure from the government guarantees of the abolition of disfranchisement and of all caste discriminations. The proposal to hold a meeting early this year has been enthusiastically received by the thinking men of the country and the executive officers have decided to hold the congress at Washington, D. C., June 24 to 29. This congress of Colored America to present to the Government its claim for a share in the world democracy is a great opportunity for the Colored people. Every community ought to send a big delegation. "NEGRO" ADVISER NOT WANTED. Pressure has been brought by "negroes" so the wires tell us, to have a "negro" adviser appointed to tell the Department of Labor what ought to be done along "negro" labor lines. Secretary Wilson has announced that a "negro" will not be selected as a permanent representative but prominent colored men will be consulted. Secretary Wilson has the right idea. No patriotic colored American wishes a jimcorp representative. It would be all right to appoint a colored man as an assistant secretary of labor but to appoint a "negro" adviser and confine him to jimcorp duties would be segregation in its worst form. A SIGH OF RELIEF NOW FOR LIBERTY "Negroes" who are asking for segregated places in the department of the government are doing the colored people a great wrong. Any man who would accept such an appointment, would necessarily be a jimcrow man and he would do his country great harm in bolstering up the color line. Give colored men representation in the government as Americans, not as "negroes." ORDER OF MAJ. GEN. BALLOU Against Which Protests Have Been Made by Many Colored Organizations. Headquarters Ninety-second Division, Camp Funston, Kansas March 28, 1918. BULLETIN NO. 35. 1. It should be well known to all colored officers and men that no useful purpose is served by such acts as will促使 the "color qualification" be raised. It is not a question of legal rights, but a question of policy, and any policy that tends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosities, is prejudicial to the military interests of the "color qualification", and therefore prejudicial to an important interest of the colored race. 2. To avoid such conflicts the Division Commander has repeatedly urged that all colored members of his command, and especially the officers noncommissioned officers, should be noncommissioned, and willence will be resented. In spite of this injunction, one of the Sergeants of the Medical Department has recently precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided, and then called on the Sergeant to intervene in a row that should never have occurred, and would not have occurred had the Sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This Sergeant entered a theater, as he undoubtedly had a good experience and precipitated trouble by making it legal for race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter, and the theater manager is legally wrong. Nevertheless, the Sergeant is guilty of not making the necessary, nothing, no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity. 3. The Division Commander repeats that the success of the Division, with all that that success implies, is dependent upon the good will of the Division, and that the white. White men made the Division, and they can break it just as easily if it becomes a trouble maker. 4. All concern are again enjoined to face the general interest of the Division and gratification. Avoid every situation that can give rise to racial ill-will. Attend quietly and faithfully to your duties, and don't go where your presence will be. This will be read to all organizations of the 92nd Division. By command of Major General Ballou; Edw. J. Turgeon, Captain, Assisting Adjutant, Acting Adjutant. Asked to Countermand Major-General Ballou's Jim-Crow Order. Boston, Mass, May 1.—Regarding it as the most non-democratic action since the world war began, the Nazi leader, which has branches in 22 states, held the 11th annual meeting in Chicago in August, protested to President Wilson by telegraph against the order of Major General Ballou, former commander of the separate officers training school, which order is so insulting that it was down three times when posted up at Camp Upton, and which order colored soldiers to surrender civil rights at the behest of white race prejudice. Telegram Wante Order Countermanded. The telegram read as follows: Boston, Mass—To the President, Winston, White House, Washington, D. C.

PAUL EXTRACTS FROM AN ADDRESS—"THE NEGRO IN ST. PAUL"—BY ATTORNEY W. F. FRANCIS. Before the St. Paul Social Service Club Wednesday Evening, May 8, at the Y. M. C. A. Building. When I received the invitation to address this organization I was beet by two powerful emotions, and, paradoxical as it may seem, one was of fear and the other was of joy. That I could not measure up to the standard set by the character and ability of the other speakers who have appeared upon your programs from time to time, and joy in the opportunity that might have to present to this body of men. For fear of being the person who a message from my people that you might the better understand the hopes, the aims and the ambitions of a people who have been erroneously looked upon for the past and as the greatest problem with which the American people have had to content. The reason the Negro problem assumes such large proportions in this country is because the white people as a whole know—but don't know they know—so little about the Negro Very few have an adequate compre ATTY, W. T. FRANCIS The error most commonly made by those who consider the Negroes at all is that they are all alike. No thought is given by the majority of the Negroes to the Negro race is differentiating and that no one is considered by classes, as any other race, and not as a whole. There are some who recognize that there are intelligent and well behaved Negroes, honest and hardworking Negroes, and competent and considerable Negroes. But it is doubtful if any considerable number of those who recognize the existence of some differentiation realize to what distincu- and widely separate classes it has. The elements have risen higher than people do generally. This evolution progresses faster as the years go by. It was slow at first. It is rapid now. The cleavage is encouraged by a determination to grasp the opportunities here in our own City of St. Paul. The Negro population of St. Paul is conservatively estimated at 5,000, and its personnel physically, morally and culturally when asked about the Negroes opportunity here, squares splendidly with that of any other race of people forming a part of this great and progressive commonwealth. That you may the better understand and know the Negro of St. Paul I have prepared some data showing his religious, civic and economic condition. Previously stated a conservative estimate shows 5,000 Negroes in St. Paul. They are divided into five religious Showing that one out of every thirty-one out is a member of some religion Because of the fact that the Negroes earnings are small, and of his efforts to guard against the day of misfortune, sickness and death, formal organizations are numerous among them and we have Paul a total of 19 fraternal and benevolent organizations among the Negro men, women and children, including such organizations as the Elks, among them, K. P.'s, the Elks and others including the nervous branches and subdivisions of each. We have two buildings—Union Hall at Aurora Ave. and Kent St. building a gymnasium, bowling alley, lodge rooms, of the value of $20,000.00 owned jointly by the lodge of Fellows and one lodge of Masons; and Welcome Hall, a settlement House at Farrington and St. Anthony Avenue, of the value of $12,000 owned by the Presbyterian church. St. Paul, among the Negroes has the reputation of having more Negro owned homes, better homes and a portion to its Negro population than any other City in the United States. The homes of the Negroes here are valued at $750,000.00. The condition of the colored people of St. Paul is excellent as evidenced by the fact that I am informed by Mr. Ninstadt, deputy clerk of the Police court, that during the past ten years there has not been more than six young colored girls arrested for soliciting or street-walking. A large number of colored boys and girls have won honors in the publication of learning in St. Paul, and by last month, in contest with the entire City of St. Paul and county of Ramsey, Master Earl Wilkins, 12 years of age, and a student at Mechanics Arts High School, champion speller of Ramsey County. Because of prejudice the Negro professional men, three lawyers, two doctors, two dentists, and one mechanic, have as large a clientage as their ability warrants, but all of them have some clients and patients among the white people and are doing as well as those in the competition. Owing to keen competition are not many business enterprises owned by Negroes in St. Paul, and the following brief list covers about everything of that nature of which Barber shops 27 Pocket Billard Halls 7 Restaurants and Lunch Rooms 7 Picture Frame Stores 1 Masseuse (Lowry Building) 1 Real Estate Agency 1 Shoe Shining Parlors 3 Tailor Shops and Pantoriums 7 Murkish Bath (ladies) 1 Murkish Bath (ladies) 1 Saloon 1 These places, however, are not all small and insignificant as the rents range from $15.00 to $250.00 per room. We are also proud of the fact that within the past year Negro saloons in St. Paul de la Vallée have been the one having closed a short time ago. While our color has been a severe handicap in the matter of securing employment in clerical and skilled lines, nevertheless, we now hold and employ a large number of desirabile positions in that capacity. The manager of the Benjamin Goldman Hair Co. is a young colored woman. A colored woman is said to be the best candy maker in the world. We are the owners of the architectural draughtmen employed by the City is a colored man. One clerk in the county auditor's office. A colored man has been employed as a bookkeeper by Finch, the architectural draughtman, and goods for the past thirty-five years. We have one young lady teacher in the third grade of our public schools one expert piano polisher, one expert phonograph repair man, one electrical demonstrator in the Emigration Department of N. P. R. Co., one foreman of City street paving gang, one government meat inspector, one police officer, three detectives, eight stenographers, one railway man and a mail carriers and 11 post office clerks. Generally, however, the Negroes have been employed as domestics, janitors, waiters, porters and in the sleeping and dining car service of our great transcontinental cities, the ranks of white labor, other avenues have opened to us and large numbers of our people are now employed at the various industrial plants such as the American Can Co. Griffin Whee Works, White Enamel Refrigerator Manufacturing, American Hoist & Derrick Co., and the packing plants at St. Paul, as skilled laborers and mechanics, and I am delighted to say that they have qualified and fit well into their positions. The subcription to Red Cross and Army, M. C. M. C. a funds: the buying of Liberty bonds, thrift and war savings stamps in large numbers shows the patriotism of the St. Paul Negro and his loyalty to the flag and country, while the organization of two colored companies of Home Guards demonstrates his determination to bear his military home as well as fight for it abroad. In fine one who knows them must say of the Negroes in St. Paul that they are peaceful, thrifty, law-abiding progressive citizens, conscientiously contributing their part to the most progress that St. Paul is making. But this progress and determination is not confined to the Negroes of St. Paul, for one of the most gratifying phases of the case is that all over the country the Negro himself is bending his energy toward the cause of the abolition of acquiring of homes, churches and the promotion of institutions of learning. Of all the spectacles in the world today, of all the scenes in history, there is nothing more dramatically interesting to the careful observer of the Negroes of St. Paul colored race making the discovery of its long-buried self.

ACROSS THE STREET FROM GOLDEN RULE. dazed and confused by the liberty into which it was thrust and which it knew not how to use, stupified by the anodyne of bondage still lingering in its blood, it now is beginning to stir from its lethargy and emerge from its sleep. At last the dawn is beginning to break, and he who has been asleep, or groping blinding in the night is coming forth into the morning. The light of a new day is upon his face and that cheer, which made possible the sigh of slavery, and softened the sing of the overseer's lash, is still in his heart. We are living in an age and an epoch which is characterized by a growing and insistent demand for justice and democracy. The United Nations is demanding the munitions to the battlefields of Europe as its demand for justice, freedom and equality of opportunity for all peoples, and it would be well for the Americans at the age to remember the past fifty years since the abolition of slavery is a race of loyal, patriotic people who are not enjoying at the hands of this government here at home the power to demand the weapons we are fighting, make the world safe, and in which fight God helping us, we will be victorious. The Negro is loyal in time of peace and patriotic in the time of war. He is fighting in allegiance to the constitution, in honor to the American flag and offers his life and resources to the government for the maintenance of our republic as a world power in bringing about a world democracy for all mankind. Did it ever occur to you that what you and I commonly know as the Negro race is not a Negro race. Webster's Standard dictionary defines Negro as "one of the black races in the United States." America are not a black race. They are a multi-colored race, peculiar in that they vary in color and in other important particulars. All other peoples have some or several peculiar racial marks that are characteristic of that certain people. The name of the person, name, as for instance, Murphy, O'Toole, Flanell, plainly denote the Irish; and LaBatty, St. Julian and De Baptist, the French; Olson, Johnson and Anderson, the Swede; Goldbloom Simon and Cohen, the Jew; with the exception of the man man. But there is no name that is peculiar to the American colored man All other races have some peculiar facial feature, hair or distinctive color that marks them unmistakably, but we are not aware of the facial features of every race under a sun. He has hair from the texture of the coarsest wool to softness of silk, and in all colors from black to golden. He varies in complexity from the darkest to the lightest, and the illy, and because of these variations you pass many of them on the streets day after day with never even a suspicion that they belong to that race of people commonly called the African-American condition, having been created by the American white man, it therefore appears to me that this race variety was MADE IN AMERICA, and that we are a race without nationality that save us from the conditions upon the soil of this country. We owe neither allegiance nor sympathy to any foreign prince, potentate or power. We hate tyranny by the means of tyranny. We have no prejudices acquired abroad, no affiliations with an older civilization, no prepositions of language, religion or philosophy or culture to mitigate our Americanism, to mitigate our Americanism one hundred per cent American. We now have nearly a hundred thousand such Negroes in the camps and across the seas "somewhere in France", and at this hour 33,000, more than 30,000, were in the South to the various train camps. And although compelled to wait for their trains in separate, dingy and dirty waiting rooms, and to ride in jim-crow cars through the States of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Tennessee, states made infamous by the lynching of black men, women and black men, women and children, we are glad to fight our country's battles and we bear no malice for the wrongs we have suffered. Through our faith in divine promise, we are glad to witness the birth of a new day upon earth. We are wary beyond this wild engulging world war; across the setting muck of murdering American mobs, through the thick muck of social and industrial propaganda into the very purposes of God for a Christian world made safe for the world and the United States of America made safe for the Negro. PATRIOTIC SACRED CONCERT. At Memorial Baptist Church, Rice and Fuller Streets, Sunday Afternoon, May 5. The Patriotic Sacred Concert given under the theme of Miss Hattie-Hobbs at Memorial Baptist church last Sunday afternoon, was a veritable artistic treat. There was quite a large audience, but the house should have been packed and doubtless would have what a delightful musical feast was in store for them. The performers were very generous with extra number and all were perfectly delightful. The personnel of the performers was as follows: Mrs. F. E. Ward, contralto. Mrs. J. E. Seabury, soprano. Mrs. W. D. Mitchell, contralto. Mrs Harry Lee Mundy, violinist. Mrs H. Pum, contralto. Miss Midreed, soprano. Miss Enora Zellar, soprano. Mr. W. Crowther, tenor. Mr. A. E. Greaza, baritone. A collection of $16.50 was raised. A unanimous rising vote of thanks was ordered to the ladies and gentlemen who filled numbers on the program. THE ELITE CAFE Cor.

Owing to a desire for a change, Mrs. Anna Wilson, former proprietor of the ELITE CAFE, corner of Kent street and St. Anthony avenue, closed the door and, after being closed for several days the cafe has again been opened with Miss Carrie Webb as manager. Mr. Niles, the new proprietor, realizes the troubles which now confront any restaurant or eating house, but believing that part of the city, he is willing to use his means in conducting it in a proper and up-to-date manner. He only asks the people to show their appreciation by putting themselves to the trouble to give the Elite their property and attractively fit up the place and cater to the public in a way they cannot fail to appreciate.

HODGSON (Larry Ho) Next Mayor of St. Paul. THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL Tendered a Birthday Reception by His Family and His Friends. ON ET Nae eee As the Ruler of the Universe in His divine wisdom saw fit to permit the editor of THE APPEAL to reach the allotted span of life, three score and ten, his family decided that it was worthy of being celebrat- ed and proceeded quietly to make some preparations along that line, but they soon concluded that the celebration should have a wider scope than a family affair, so they began to invite some friends and neighbors and then some friends got interested and began to telephone invitations to the “old settlers.” The result was that on last Monday evening the residence of Mr. and ‘Mrs. Adams, 527 St. Anthony ave- nue, was thronged between the hours from eight to twelve with ap- proximately three hundred guests. The occasion was very informal, the guests coming and going or lingering at will, but such a spirit of friendli- ness and good cheer prevailed that it was very enjoyable. It was generally remarked that so many oldtime friends of the Twin Cities met who had not done so in years. Refreshments were served ad lib- itum in the dining room and when the crush was jgreatest about 10 o'clock all were stilled to listen to a solo by Mr. J. E. Jackson Mr. Adams was asked to step into the parlor, where Mrs. O H. Allen pre- sented a beautiful silk’ purse con- taining $70.00, one dollar for each year of his life. He was paralyzed with surprise, because earlieF in the evening he had received from his brother, C.F. Adams, Chicago, a wire for $70.00, and his wife and children had also presented him $70.00 in §10 bills. Mrs. Allen made @ very appropriate little speech to which Mr, Adams responded as best he could, under the surprising cir- cumstances. He concluded by ex- pressing his delight at the PRESENCE of his friends and their PRESENTS. Several congratulatory cards and telegrams were received and besides the gifts mentioned other presents were given as follows: Box linen handkerchiefs, Mesdames 0. A. Law- rence and Wm. Moden, Minneapolis; box linen handkerchiefs, Mrs. and Miss Napier, Minneapolis; box linen hand«erchiefs, Mr. W. J. Utley, St. Paul; $2.50, Mrs. Lottie Patterson, Anoka, Minn.; silver cold meat fork, Mr. J. J. Johnson, St. Paul; two pairs silk hose, Mr. and Mrs.'J. M.
