COLORED MAN WINS MAJ. R.R. JACKSON GOES TO THE ILLINOIS LEGILATURE WHEN VOTES ARE RECOUNTED DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL CIOSING THE COLORED MAJ. MAJ. R.R. JACKSON ILLINOIS LEGILA VOTES ARE RE Chicago Ill. May 5.—The citizens of Chicago rejoice this week over the election of Major R. R. Jackson as a reprentive to the legislature from the Third Senatorial district. His election came after a spirited contest wheein Maj. Jackson had the entire vote recounted at his own expense. It is estimated that he spent at least $600 in this endeavor to secure fair play for the race. Attorney Albert B. George represented the Maj. in the recount. He presented the case to election committee and won the fight to open the ballot boxes. Maj. Jackson's victory is the first instance where an attorney of the race has won an election contest. Jackson unseals Henry M. Ashton Democrat, and Farra receives the berth of H. W. Harris, Socialist. Both men gained slowly toward the end of the contest, return earlier DUNBAR H SCHOOL fifteen pupils The suffrage question was definitely settled Tuesday night at the First Baptist church so far as the pupils of the Dunbar school are concerned. The settlement doesn't mean much to the political ring however, as the whole thing was a play rendered in a concert by the pupils of the intermediate classes in the above school, which was played to a full house of admirers and well wishers. This marked the beginning of the exercises usually given at the close of school. Three nights will be consumed counting the commencement or graduating exercises which is to be tonight at the First Baptist church. Those who will receive their diplomas are: Theressa Bryant, Jessie Keiton, Mattie Mitchell, Etta Kidd, Mary Ellis, Suretha Holt, Ashford Trotter, Dewey Davidson, U. S. Jackson, Gertrude McDonald, Cecil Fitzgerald, David Evans, Johnnie Walker, Amanda Woods, Alfred Hicks. Wednesday night the little folks staged their part of the concert at the A. M. E. church. A full house also heard them. The whole program is a great credit to Prof. Hughes and his able corps of assistants, all of whom have done remarkably well under the congested conditions now obtaining in the Colored schools here. New Enrprises For North Greenwood New Enrprises For North Greenwood The new commercial enterprises just established on North Grenwood means much to the east end and the people of this community are highly appreciative of the efforts being put forth by men of their own race to bring the business to them. The new enterprises which add to the appearance of this part of the city as well as to the convenience of the people are the new big dry gods store to be installed by Mr. Tabum, a graduate of Tuskegee, and the Porters Tailoring Company by F. D. Ford. Both of these young men are promising business men and will strive to give the highest valuable for the money.

ONE CENT CAPITAL Penny Token Left by Will Brings Great and Unexpected Mineral Riches. By MILDRED CAROLINE GOOD-RIDGE. "And to my second nephew, Ronald Blair, as a reminder of his remarkable powers of memory, I leave the munifient sum of one penny. As he has seen fit to imitate my peculiarities in private, so may he copy my diligence, beginning life on one cent capital, which is more than I had at the start, and making his own way in the world." The legatee in question listened to the slow, measured tones of Lawyer Jones like one in a dream. The reader of the last will and testament of Jeptah Blair, stern, practical man as he was, cast a mournful and sympathetic look at the young man. He liked Blair immensely, as did every one else in the town, unless it was Hugh Telford, seated also in the apartment. He smiled viciously and triumphantly. He was safe ashore while Ronald was floundering in dark waters. The "Blair Plat" was to be given to Telford, together with stocks and bonds valued at $10,000. "I suppose you feel like cursing Uncle Jeptah," insinuated this precious young schemer and spendthrift. Ronald was pale; disappointment and chagrin showed in his frank, sensitive face. It hardened as he fixed his clear accusing eyes upon his sneering relative. "No," he replied steadily. "If I was of the cursing sort you might come in for your share, for—I understand, now." He left the lawyer's office as he spoke and a shade of anger and fear crossed the features of Telford. Ronald had to admit that he had expected a substantial legacy. He had every reason to anticipate it. It was cruel, after all his hopes and plans, and his heart sank like lead as he thought of Ruth Mason, his fiance. Where should he go for comfort save to her? It was his privilege, his A boy is stepping on a man's foot. The man is sitting on the ground, looking up at the boy. The sky is filled with clouds. "That's the Real' Stuff!" right, and half an hour later he was seated by her side on the porch of the Mason home. "It must be between you and me; all that I have to tell you, dear," he said to the pitying angel at his side. "Two years ago when Hugh and I were at college there was a character play. In it was a miserly old fellow, in dress and actions so fully a counterpart of Uncle Jepthah that many recognized it. This came to his ears, and that will was made. In reality Hugh had made the suggestion of the character to a chum, and rather gloated over 'showing up the old skinflint,' as he called his uncle. Then when the matter got public he became frightened and told uncle that I was the culprit." "But you told me that later everything was explained to Mr. Blair," suggested Ruth. "That is true, and uncle took me back into his good graces. He even called upon Hugh in my presence to verify his statement that he had destroyed the will made in anger. Then he died suddenly, intestate. Now this will appears. By some trickery I am convinced Hugh preserved it." "But the law," began Ruth. "I shall not appeal to it. Let Hugh go his selfish, cowardly way. As long as I have you what does the rest matter? We can wait a little while longer, can't we, dear?" Ruth lifted her sweet, bonny face to his, ineffable tenderness and fidelity in its beautiful depths. Ronald preserved the penny left to him. Most fellows would have cast it away with an anathema. Ronald knew his old uncle meant to do him justice. It was a rare old Scotch coin. He had the jeweler make a hole in it and suspended it from his watch chain. The Blair Plat left to his cousin was a valuable property. Just before the death of Mr. Blair a deposit of a rare and valuable clay used in stereotyping and for electrical purposes had been discovered. It was known as ozocerite, found elsewhere only in Austria and Utah. If things turned out as they promised, Hugh would some day become a wealthy man. Adjoining the plat was a twenty-acre patch of sterile land which had been left to Ronald by his mother. It was of so little value that he made no attempt to have it cultivated, but secured a position as an accountant in a near city. There reached him the first week the disquieting intelligence that Hugh was hanging around the Mason home a good deal. Then he received a letter from Ruth. It read: "Be patient for a year. I am going away and you must not write to me." There was no further word, and Ronald felt that everything he valued was fading away from him. His business went well. The penny seemed to bring him good luck. In a street melee the bullets severely wounded two innocent bystanders, but one striking the penny glinted off and left him unscathed. Then the penny was observed by a loyal old Scotchman, leading to a friendship and a large amount of business. It was just a year later when Ronald paid a visit to his home town. He learned that the wonderful oozerite vein had run out. Hugh had pretty nearly dissipated all his ready money. He boasted, however, that he was engaged to Ruth and Ronald believed this after her inexplicable silence. In later years he never forgot a sad and moody ramble ending at the barren twenty-acre lot. In going over it he stumbled, his watch chain caught on a bush, and the penny snapped loose and disappeared down a great open crack in the ground. Ronald had no thought of losing a token which he sincerely treasured. He saw a man digging on an adjoining farm, went over to him and bargained for a careful excavation in quest of the lost memento. It took some delicacy of treatment to manipulate the dry, crumbling dirt. At a depth of four feet, the bottom of the crack, the penny was produced. "Hello!" suddenly exclaimed the workman as he scraped off his spade—"say, if this should be the real vein!" "The what?" questioned Ronald vaguely. "The vein of ozocerite. Look here—that's the real stuff," and he took up a handful of the scrapings from the spade. It was "the real stuff;" that was proven within the ensuing two days. All the town was on fire over the rare good luck the old penny had brought to Ronald, for the real ozocerite vein had been tapped. Ronald was standing on the land that promised so much in the yellow dusk of the fading day a few evenings later, when a familiar figure came up over the rise in the landscape. His heart stood still as she approached. Then a bitter thought came into his mind—Ruth had heard of his good fortune. "The year is over," she said brightly as she approached him. "Did they never tell you? It was Hugh Telford who laid his fortune at my feet, and my foolish father encouraged his suit. Finally it was agreed that I should take a year to decide, away from both of you. As if a year or a thousand could make me forget—you!" And she lifted the old penny from the hand of her lover, the lucky penny of old Jeptah Blair, and kissed it. Standardizing the Longitude. Heretofore England and the United States have been the only leading countries reckoning from Greenwich. Germany adopted the meridian of Berlin, France that of Paris, and so on. However, in 1911, a congress of the makers of nautical almanacs of the different nations was held at Paris, at which it was decided that the places of sun, moon and planets will in future be published in terms of Greenwich time by all prominent national ephemerides. It is probable that this action will have the effect of causing all chart, map and atlas makers to also adopt the Greenwich meridian.—Christian Herald. Had Two Points of Beauty. Tasmania's pretty girls of European lineage have never been tempted to follow the fashion of the native Tasmanian women, who had all their hair removed with a flint and went bald. The last pure blooded Tasmanian woman died in 1876, aged seventy-six; the last man in 1876, aged thirty-four. A traveler says that the native had two fine points—eyes and teeth. The eyes were prominent and often of great beauty and brilliancy, and a dentist of wide experience knew of no teeth equal to the Tasmanian's for strength, size and enamel. But the nose was bridgeless, the chin "ran off" and the upper jaw protruded. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Tulsa Star, Friday, May 9, 1913 AFRO-AMERICA Go where you please in the south and you will see the negro engaged in all branches of business and industry. In this city, where he handles thousands of dollars and easy work, the negro is a business nonentity, with but a few exceptions. The only business in this city in which the negro is engaged and in which he is a success is the drug and saloon business. There are a few dining rooms where the negro is also a success. The Bee has been the only successful newspaper that has been able to exist among the negroes. There have been all kinds of newspapers and editors in this city, from a weekly to "trl weakly," from a daily to a monthly, but they have failed. There are over 90,000 colored people in this city, three-tenths of whom never read a newspaper, and those who do read seem to cater to the people that abuse them. The southern negro is a thrifty and successful individual. He knows how to run a bank and do other things that make him a commercial success. In this city the negro should be an independent commercial factor. We now need a first class business school. There is now great need for young men and women who understand how to conduct a business and how to keep books. We need good typewriters and stenographers. These are not thoroughly taught in our schools. Our business high school is not what it should be. Everybody cannot teach, hence a business education should be taught our children. We favor the trade school, because they will prepare our boys and girls for future usefulness. The young negro in the south is fast surpassing the northern negro. The northern negro is too proud to work. He doesn't want to soil his hands or make them hard. We need more trade schools south. Higher education is a great factor, but trade schools will be a greater factor to the negro.—The Washington Bee. How many young men in your community can you depend upon to take the places of the men who are managing the affairs of the church and the school and the state when these older men have passed away? The nation must have men of character and ability to rule in its affairs. Can we point to the boys and young men about us and say they will meet the requirements?—The Torchlight. Let us hope so any how, in spite of the mass of evidence that seems to point the other way. Many years ago there were a half dozen or more boys in every community when people would point to with the prediction that they would make their mark in life. And these youngsters would constantly talk about what they were going to do—they worked to that end. Their zeal seemed to be in inverse proportion to their opportunities. Young men of today discuss parties, receptions, base ball, foot ball, peglegs, swell times, etc. However, it may be that the coming men who will meet every test and lead the advance in any and all directions are now in obscurity—making hay and laying it up against the day when they will receive the summons. Progress of all the past has been conditioned upon this fact: Whenever an emergency has arisen, calling for a man, destiny...as sent him forth fully equipped and prepared.—Old Hickory. COLORED MEN IN ASSOCIATION. Colored business men met at the Baker hotel, 3312 Wabash avenue, to organize a permanent business association. More than 100 merchants, representing many businesses and professions, attended the meeting. The object of the association will be to encourage a closer relation among the colored people and to give employment to the more intelligent and thrifty members of the race. Among those who delivered addresses at a banquet which followed the meeting were M. T. Bailey, manager of the Milton Mercantile agency; Jesse Blinga, banker and real estate dealer; Col. John R.

Cecile’s ragout of veal—na- varrain, as she called {t—was as a: vory and nourishing a dish as anyone could desire, She used about two pounds of the shoulder of veal, which sho cooked for 20 minutes or so in a small fron pot, with salt, pepper and butter, until it was well browned, She turned It over from time to time, Once she added a small wineglass of water, to prevent burning (She was very chary of spoiling good things by wa ter dilution, and In the fron pot there was little danger of burning). She then sprinkled and stirred in well two teaspoonfuls of flour—that 1s, he sprinkled {t over the meat and turned the meat over and over; then she added eight large carrots cut into small dice, four ontons, sliced, sev- eral pleces of parsley, about two cup- fuls of raw peas, und a glassful of water.

Some of the most noted of the old men of New York, successful in busl- ness, the professions and public af- fairs, have formed a walking club for the purpose of making their pursuit of still greater length of days and still better health as agreeable as it 1s sensible. They intend to take long walks together and, no doubt, to make their pedestrian experiences the sub- Ject of entertaining discussion and a stdre of memories held in common. This {s an example which might well be followed in every city of the United States. In the era of motor vehicles there 1s danger that walking will be increasingly neglected, especially by men and women advanced in years, who often need it most. There is « constant temptation to forget that rid ing in the open air, fine as it ts in many ways, can never do for the body what walking does: AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE Freeland, Md.—"“Baby's —_ eczema started in little spots and would burst and run all over his face and wher- ever the water would touch his face, {t would make another sore.

We are here to stay and will do our part to make this a better place to live in. Will you Tulsa is not pulling off any big stunt in the booming business, but for a safe quiet progressive growth it is the best city in the southwest. Come and see. What has become of the great reformatory movement? May be the lawmekers have decided that negroes are after all, the best class of citizens and don't need a reformatory. The oil game is one of popular interest in Oklahoma, and Tulsa is state headquarters for the business. He is fortunate indeed, who holds the title to any quantity of land in Oklahoma. The California situation is growing delicate to say the least. The faithful black soldiers may yet be called on to repeat the famous San Juan hill stunt. Where can there be found a truer friend to the colored race than Gov. Sulzer of New York? What republican Governor of any state can toe the line with him? The answer is "none." Gov. Sulzer is indeed a true democrat. The sanitary officers should insist on the street sweepers visiting East Archer and North Greenwood at least once a week, because fifth confined in one part of the city is just as dangerous to all parts of the city alike. It is just as important to the people of the high class residence district as to any other to see that all parts of the city is clean and healthful. North Greenwood in the vicinity of the Hill and Gurley building is assuming an up-to-date metropolitan air, thanks to the energetic class of young men who opened up business in the east end. They are all worthy of our patronage and should have it. A steamer doing rescue work at Clayton, La., struck an iron bridge and sank last week, drowning two white men and eleven negroes., These men were rescuing the perishing. 11 colored men and 2 white men, but the white newspapers printed only the names of the two white men. The crowded condition of the Colored schools in this city and the many children who are out of school for that very reason would certainly justify the erection of a new modern school building. Tulsa might well pattern after Muskogee in the city school plan. That city has the best school system in the southwest. We appreciate the kind things said about the Star by our friends, especially when those friends have added financial spice to their expressions. We invite honest criticism and want every reader to feel free to offer suggestions as to how we should run this paper, bearing in mind of course that we shall use the same freedom in acting upon such suggestions. The musical and recital to be given at the First Baptist church next Thursday night will be one of unusual merit. The Tulsa Star is responsible for this rare treat to the citizens of Tulsa and we trust our efforts to give the people of this community something worth while will be duly appreciated. Miss Johnson of Muskogee, who will be the prima dona of this occasion is equal to the best noted singers of the race, and while the rest of the performers are not professionals in active and continual service, yet we venture the assertion that there are many "professionals" who would not please you as much as they doubtless will. Come out and be with us next Thursday night. There is no greater philanthropist on earth than the newspaper editor. Had you thought of that? The editors, as a rule, give more to the public than any other class of men or public servants—and they are usually paid in curses, kicks, knocks, etc. There is no power that will equal that of a newspaper, whether it be for good or for evil. The Colored Press of this country are doing more for the general good of the race than any other known agency, and yet, in spite of this, we are often ruthlessly abused and accused of all kinds of mean things when in fact our greatest shortcoming is in the past due subscription bills which continue to pile up before us. Now, dear friend, if you really appreciate our efforts to give you the best public defender any people ever had or ever will have, let us have some substantial evidence of it.

SUBSCRIBE TODAY WHERE WIND REALLY BLOWS According to Veracious Kansan It Would Be Hard to Beat the Brand in the Sunflower State. The western "cyclone" has many strange antics to its credit, but, if we may believe Mr. Peters' story in the Kansas City Star, the high winds of the open prairie are even more to be dreaded than the whirling force of the tornado. "There are some things that an old resident learns out there from observation and experience. One is that when you are facing a hard wind, you must keep your mouth shut. One day I was traveling with a tenderfoot from the east. He was a long, slender man, about six feet and three inches long, and about six inches wide. He had no more meat on his bones than a fork handle. As I was saying, one day we started to ride across the prairie, when the wind came up in our faces, blowing at the rate of one hundred miles an hour or so. "That tenderfoot opened his mouth to say something to me. I heard him make a curious noise and looked around to see what was the matter, and saw that he had inadvertently swallowed about six or seven barrels of wind. He looked like an inflated air cushion, and seemed to be about four times his natural size. It seemed to set him sort of crazy, and he jumped out of the buggy. When he lit on the ground, he bounded into the air like a rubber ball, and then went bounding across the prairie like a tumbleweed before the wind. At the end of three miles he fell into a canyon, where the wind couldn't get at him and stopped, but it was a week before he was back to his normal size." STIRRED UP BY CHIVALRY French Criminal Lawyer Sets Forth Defense He Has In Mind for Lady Macbeth. Henri Robert, a leading French criminal barrister, held enthralled a distinguished gathering at the Universite des Annales a few days ago as he showed how he would have defended Lady Macbeth. In this impassioned defense of the tragic queen, Mr. Robert said she was not the shrew she was sometimes painted. Her husband, whom she loved dearly, was always absent on warlike expeditions. When he returned for a brief spell he spent his days hunting and his nights in the great hall of the castle in drunken revelry until he and his friends fell aleep in their armor. Was it not natural that she yearned for something, she knew not what, that would put an end to her life of loneliness, monotony and weariness? "Another point," said Mr. Robert, "which I would argue in defense of my client—a point on which Shakespeare is silent—is the long and deadly feud between Lady Macbeth and the family of the old King Duncan. Her first husband, her father-in-law, her brother and her grandfather had all been killed by Duncan's grandfather, and she only saved her own life by fleeing to Ross, where she met General Macbeth, whom she afterward married. A vendetta existed between her family and that of Duncan. That is the defense I put forward for Lady Macbeth." FEW CAN. Willis—Wonderful memory Bump has. Gillis—Indeed? Willis—Yes.

Fisk University Faces Crises Noted Institution in danger of losing vast sum. A call for help. Fisk University, the most noted Negro institution for higher education, is facing a serious crisis in its attempt to raise an endowment fund. The institution was offered $60,000 more than two years ago by the General Education Board, on condition that it raise $240,000 in addition, for liquidation of accumulated indebtedness of about $50,000, for the repairing and refitting buildings, for the installation of a heating and lighting plant, and for endowment. An amount of $380,000 was to be raised, two two-thirds of which to go for endowment. The institution has run all these years, almost entirely through the support, from year to year, of white friends in the north. About two hundred of these friends have contributed toward the present endowment effort, but the total amount given leaves $104,000 yet to be raised. The time limit of the initial offer of the General Education Board expires June 1st and the University authorities have no assurance that this time limit will be extended. The alumni are carrying on a loyal rally to raise $25,000 as their share in the fund, but there will still remain nearly $100,000 which must be secured from other friends. The white frineds of the Negro have contributed generously to this fund and now are asking what the Colored people propose to do. The authorities of the University are making a nationwide appeal to the Colored people to rally to the rescue of this institution which for forty-seven years has offered all that is highest and best in education and culture to the Negroes of the land. They want 100,000 colored people to send them at least $1 between new and June 1st. Checks and money orders should be made payable to Fisk University and may be sent to the editorial office of this paper or directly to Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn. All contributions sent to the office of this paper will be acknowledged in its columns. Shall we rally to the call of an institution which from its foundation has aimed to set the feet of young Negroes in the path to all the learning and culture which the best institutions of the land afford. Who will lead with one dollar? Graduation Exercises It is the keen pleasure of of the Faculty to present to you fifteen pupils for graduation.

WHAT TO PLANT AND WHEN Advice by an Expert on Agricultural Matters—Window Boxes and Hanging Baskets—Eradicating Weeds —Beautifying the Yard. By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE. A comparatively small number of the people in our large cities have the ground available for a vegetable garden. A much larger number have some little plot that will raise flowers; but the flat dweller has nothing of the kind. This does not indicate that flat dwellers may not have flowers in summer, however, as they can always have them in window boxes and frequently in porch boxes and hanging bankets. Flowers of many kinds and hues will grow to, fullest perfection in boxes of various kinds and all they need is sunshine and a little careful attention. They constitute the chief joy of the summer season and no one should be without them from May until frost time. Almost any sort of a box will do so long as it is deep enough for the roots to grow in, and strong enough to hold the earth. Fill it with rich greenhouse or garden earth, having mixed in a quantity of well-rotted manure. Some fine wood ashes will assist the blossoms wonderfully, but coal ashes are a detriment. Have the earth fine and mellow and plant the flowers as soon after filling the box as possible. The quickest and most satisfactory way to stock these boxes is to buy potted plants from the florist and transplant them. They are more sturdy than plants grown from seed in the boxes and they bloom much earlier. The cost is prohibitive in many cases, however, and almost any annual flowers will grow from seed in such boxes. Where the amount of sunshine is limited it is almost necessary to put in plants instead of weeds. Geranlums are probably the most satisfactory flowering plants for the formal window box, and they are very widely used. Foliage plants are excellent and withstand the hot afternoon sun better than flowering plants. Ferns do well in shaded locations. Small plants of English Ivy, Wandering Jew and many of the smaller vines are useful for draping effects and we have seen some of the larger growing annual vines, such as Wild Cucumber, Scarlet Runner Beans and Morning Glory, used in window boxes with excellent results, the long, graceful vines, either climbing in the usual way or trailing down over the side of the box. Hanging baskets, either fern balls, moss baskets, or boxes, can be hung in any sheltered location, and they are very satisfactory. We recommend the use of self-watering hanging baskets, as the ordinary hanging device is inconvenient to handle and it must be watered constantly. Remember that success with boxes demands lots of water every day, three times as much as you would give the same plants in a bed. Weeds. Weeds have been aptly defined as plants out of their proper place. Thus, Kentucky blue grass is a treasure in the lawn and a weed in the adjacent corn field. We are all more or less familiar with what we generally call weeds—dandelion, pusley, quack grass, thistles, burdock, pigweed, mullein, milkweed, and many others, because these plants are always out of place, as far as the ordinary back yard farmer is concerned. They are easily controlled in the flower beds, because these beds are usually small in size, the soil is loose and the weeds pull out easily, and if you wait long enough your wife will probably get disgusted and pull them herself. In the vegetable garden, it is an entirely different proposition, however, Here the weeds start about two laps ahead of the earliest vegetables, having planted themselves the year before in preparation for a flying start. The soil is firm and they anchor themselves for the season in a very determined manner. If we assail them early, before they are anchored, we can win out, but they never give up the battle and success is the result of constant labor. It's really remarkable, too, how a man grows weaker as the gardening season progresses. The sun gets hotter, the hoe duller, the weeds more defiant, the soil harder, the mosquitoes start business earlier and stay later, and it is only the thought of previous labor invested that saves most gardens about the Fourth of July. Under such discouraging conditions it behooves us to study the habits of our garden weeds and attack them in the most effective manner. After plowing and pulverizing the ground, plant the early crops and let the weeds get a good start on the rest of the patch. Cut every one off below the ground with a sharp hoe, just before planting later crops. As soon as they start again cut they off again. Those that grow from perennial root stock, like the dandelion, should be pulled up. When the vegetables come up, keep the earth between the rows hoed at all times, going over the garden after each rain to break up the earth's crust and hold the moisture in the ground. Never let the weeds get the start on you and it will not take half as much work to handle your garden this year. Why should we keep the weeds out of the garden? Principally because they steal water from the vegetables, and water is the very life blood of plants. Secondly, the weeds are all very hearty feeders and every one in your garden is using up a considerable proportion of the available plant food. Remember that hoeing is good for both the garden and you, the more hoeing the better, and a wheel hoe or hand cultivator is about the best tool that ever was made, especially in July. Essentials of Beautiful Yard. Every home should be surrounded by a beautiful and artistic yard. Almost all of us appreciate this fact, and it will not bear argument, but there is considerable divergence of opinion as to what can be done to make the yard beautiful. In order to assist our readers to secure the most gratifying results possible, we will try to outline the essential features to be borne in mind when planning landscape gardening at home. The one most important feature in planting operations is harmony. This is the keynote of all beautiful scenes. It does not mean that we may not employ contrasting colors and forms, but that these features give a pleasing general effect. If your house is of any particular architectural style, let the shape of your walks, roadway, flower beds, shrubs and trees be of such a character as to carry out the lines and spirit of the house as far as possible. The formal house should be surrounded by natural things of geometrical patterns—square corners, formal shaped shrubs, straight walks, etc., rather than the graceful forms. The bungalow and the less imposing and rigid type of building must be treated in a decidedly different manner, as its lines are more on the graceful and beautiful order, and the lines of the surrounding grounds should carry out the same idea. Curved lines, even of a rather indefinite character, may be used to advantage. Flowing shapes in the trees and shrubs, profuse vines, beds and banks of wild flowers and related subjects should be adhered to largely. Do not attempt to mix these two distinct styles of landscape art. Nothing can be more unattractive than a formal square house set in a woodland, unless it be a graceful, unpretentious country home in the midst of an Italian garden. The house, while it is not really a part of the yard, is still the most important feature of the whole scene, from the standpoint of the person on the outside. This is why we place such special emphasis on the appearance and style of the building. We take for granted that the importance of the lawn is thoroughly understood. The arrangement of the buildings, walks, roads, and plantings will determine its shape and extent, but it is highly essential that the ground be covered by a smooth, velvety turf, where not otherwise taken up for some specific purpose. City front yards are usually so small that all we can hope to do with them is to keep them covered with a good lawn. Suburban front yards are much more ample and are covered by the general principles set down for city back yards. The first care is to join the house to to the ground in a natural and artistic manner. The color of the house has a good deal to do with this, and the rest can be accomplished by a judicious use of flower beds, vines or shrubs near the house. In planting for the small yard, do not put beds or shrubs in the middle of any stretch of lawn. Keep them either along the walk and roadway, or around the outer edges of the lot. By using taller and more distinctly colored and formal plants close to the house and smaller and less prominent varieties farther away we can secure an appearance of distance in the view from the house, and this is a very important feature in the effect of any landscape picture. For the small city back yard the house must be ignored to a considerable extent and the planting is largely a question of the gardener's individual taste. Much more effective results will be secured even on the smallest lot, if the few simple rules here given are carefully borne in mind. POULTRY Two Methods Given for Breaking Up Setting Hens. Strenuous Measures Must Be Adopted to Dissuade Fowl From Her Purpose—Leghorns Are Most Popular for Dogs (BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE) Contrary to general impression, broodiness in hens is not a fever and we have no evidence to show that it is contagious. The ailment, if we may term it thus, appears without warning. The fowl may have been laying steadily and acting in a perfectly normal fashion, when suddenly she becomes imbued with a great distaste for active pursuits. She betrays a very crabbed disposition, rushing at her erstwhile friends and pecking them viciously whenever they approach her. Her plumage sticks out at right angles, making her appear about twice as large as usual. With head drawn deep into her hackle feathers, and wings and body taking up as much space as possible, she mounts guard over her chosen nest and defies all comers. The hen becomes broody because nature prompts her with a sudden desire for a brood of chicks. She probably does not know why she does it, as she will take to potatoes or door knobs as kindly as to eggs, but she Excellent Egg Type. sets when the time comes just the same, and she will keep on setting until you break her up or let her hatch out a brood of chicks. This pertinacity would not be so important if it were not for the fact that she quits laying and stays quit. She has decided upon a vacation and she refuses to work during this period. The loss of a couple of months of a hen's time is not to be thought of at any period, and especially during the spring, which is the natural time for setting and heaviest egg production as well. If we do not wish to set the hen on eggs we will have to adopt strenuous means to dissuade her from her purpose and start her to laying again. There are a number of successful ways of doing this, and conditions will indicate the most favorable. The main thing is to act promptly and be thorough. Remove the broody hens from the nests each night, as they are most easily detected then. They stick to the nest instead of going to roost. Dust them thoroughly with Insect powder and confine them in an open slat crate or cage in a cool, light location. Keep water before them and give nothing to eat except a little whole wheat and green stuff once a day. This will not hurt the hen and about three days of this "water cure" will convince her of the error of her ways. Another good way is to have a separate pen with absolutely bare floor and walls, and no possible place to nest, and place all of the broody hens in it, in the company of two or three vigorous male birds. This scheme is frequently used on large poultry farms. The heavier breeds are especially addicted to broodiness, the Asiatics being the worst offenders and the Plymouth Rocks and R. I. Reds leading in the American class. Leghorns and Minorcas and Hamburgs set so rarely that they cannot be depended on to raise their young. For this reason the Leghorns are the most popular breed for large egg farms, as they waste no time setting and the young are easily raised artificially. COULDN'T SIT COULDN'T STAND Tullahoma, Tenn.—"I am ever ready to praise Cardul, the woman's tonic," writes Mrs. Mary Carroll, of this place, "as it has done wonders for me. I suffered so from womanly trouble, I could not stand on my feet long enough at a time to do anything, and I could not even sit down, I was in such misery. The pains in my head were terrible. After taking only two bottles of Cardul, the woman's tonic, I felt much relieved. I have now taken five bottles, and feel like my old self again. I can go where I please, ride horse back, and even walk as much as two miles, without feeling tired, and I don't have those terrible pains in my head any more. I look young again, and have red, rosy cheeks, like I had in my girlhood days. Before taking Cardul, my standing weight was only 110 pounds. Now I weigh 127 pounds.

In 1753 John Ward, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The eldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddons. The oldest son, John Philip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her slater, Adelalde, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. w e D o P r i n t i n g ```markdown ``` The Star Cleaning Parlors is the place to get a perfect fit and will guarantee satisfaction in goods, workmanship and prices.

It will be news to many journalists to learn that they have an officially selected patron saint. But the Manchester Guardian points out that they have, and have had for the last fifty years. Plus IX., at the request of a number of continental journalists, is sued a decree on the point. He recommended journalists to seek the help of St. Francis de Sales, whose body has just lately been transferred, with great pomp and amidst popular rejoicing, to a new church at Annoyce in Savoy, his native place. "The choice our contemporary thinks, is not one, for St. Francis was a man of letters. His famous work, "The Devout Life," is still popular, "no doubt because of the lightness of touch with which it is written and the unerring journalistic instinct (if one may put it so in writing of the work of a saint) with which he compels attention to serious questions by the skillful use of anecdote and illustration."—Westminster Gazette.

Main and First Sts, Tulsa, Ok Now the Machine Sermon. Now the Machine Sermon. The only ceremony at the funerals of a school teacher in an Austrian village was the rendition by a talking machine of the hymn "Elfne Feste Burg" as sung by a chorus of male voices. The incident gave an enter-prise from an idea. They now, according to a circular which has been distributed in the rural districts are proceeded to furnish for funerals and appropriate muscle either in the shape of chorus. Our large list of our women is well as strictly discussed, this Vienna paper says that "the conversation" has already introduced and in conjunction the "machine music" will make methods useless. "The talking machine" says the humorist later these good points—it must be short and the machine does not weep." Sanger Drug Co. Has been doing drug business for seven years.
