War On Against The Low Element Chamber of Commerce Called Special Meeting And Takes Immediate Steps to Better Conditions In Tulsa. A Fearless Defender of Right and Justice Read by Evevybody Vol. 1, No. 37 War O Chambe And Takes Steps to B ditions I The Tulsa Star Endorsed and Commended for Its Fight for Decency At a call meeting of the Tulsa Colored Chamber of Commerce last Tuesday night a number of representative citizens met and declared open war against the underworld in Tulsa, and if the plans of this organization are vigilantly carried out the Colored citizens of this town will have set a pace for the decent people both white and black against vice and immorality. The call meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was the result of the disgraceful scenes which occurred on North Greenwood last Sunday. The decent people in the East End were so aroused over the vile display of indecent language and cutting and fighting, on the most poular street in this end of town that the officers of the Chamber of Commerce were appealed to and the meeting was called. J. H. Wells, vice-president of the old organization, issued the call in the absence of Mr. Martin who is president. However, Mr. Martin presided at this meeting and tried to persuade those present to elect new officers, but after some discussion the election was postponed till Monday night to give all the business men opportunity to participate in the new organization. After this the object of the meeting was discussed pro and con. That there is a strong sentiment here against the lower element who drift from place to place and the vice dens that cater to them, was evidenced at this meeting, and this sentiment is accompanied with a strong determination to eliminate this public evil. A resolution by Mr. Warren endorsing The Tulsa Star for its stand for decency and a pure social circle, was unanimously adopted and new life given to the cause when Rev. Milton, Mr. Wells and a number of others present took a bold stand in denouncing a number of places on Greenwood, East Archer and Cincinnati streets, where vice and immorality be encouraged. Morgan's restraint and the rooming house over Williams' Garage on Greenwood, two or three houses on Archer, including the famous "Supple Stock" place and one or two houses on Cincinnati are some of the places which will receive immediate attention from a committee on law and order, which was appointed Tuesday night and instructed to take what ever steps necessary to assure the --- THE TULSA STAR respectable people of this city more and better protection. The police department, in fact, the entire city and county administration will lend whatever service necessary to rid the town of the indecent gangs of loafers, cut throats and their female consorts who are continually coming in and making it almost intolerable for decent people to live here. It is the purpose of the Colored Chamber of Commerce to cooperate with the officers and in this way bring relief to the citizens of Falsa of these nuisances. The committee on law and order are: J. H. Wells. Chas. Warren. Rev. R. B. Milton. C. W. Henry, special officer. A formal protest against the evil conditions existing in this part of town eminated from Tuesday night's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce which was ordered printed in full, as follows: Whereas, the residential part of this city wherein reside the major part of the Negro population, has been and is now infested by a certain lawless element that has respect neither for law nor decency; and. Whereas, many of these pests or society reside in districts or quarters on one of the malnthoroughfares, occupied and controlled by the principal Negro business enterprises; and. Whereets, persons passing to and fro along this street are often confronted with indecent exposures and forced to listen to obscen and vulgar language calculated to lower the moral and social standard of this community; and. Whereas; the same conditions that obtain on this principal street are also existing on other nearby streets, especially East Archer, "Therefore, Resolved, that the Negro Chamber of Commerce hereby register an earnest protest against the above stated conditions and solicit the aid of the officers of the law in enforcing the city ordinances to the end that these public nuisances may be abated. "And we call upon all good citizens to aid and support the officers in the performance of their duties. "Resolved, further, that we heartily endorse the stand taken by the Tulsa Star for law and decency and as opposed to public vice and corruption." Before the meeting adjourned, Mr. Gurley offered a motion that a committee of three be appointed to confer with the city park board relative to obtaining City Park accommodations for colored peo- pie. This committee was appointed as follows: O. W. Gurley. A. J. Smitherman. Dr. J. M. Kee. White Man Found with Colored woman Is Cut By Colored Man Who Was Arrested and Confessed—White Man refused to Prosecute John Rouse, negro, was arrested Sunday by the city authorities, charged with having stabbed James Hamlin, white laborer, at Eleventh and Boulder, last Friday night. Hamlin was seriously wounded and is at a local hospital. He will recover. Rouse admitted doing the cutting. He said he was visiting Alice Wharton, servant girl for Dr. W. E. Wright, on South Boulder avenue Friday night, when Hamlin appeared on the scene and attacked him. Hamlin threw two bricks at him, he claims, and they clinched. In the fight that followed he cut Hamlin. Then he fled. Rouse asserted that Hamlin brought the Wharton woman to Tulsa from Mississippi and told the police that the white man had been living with the negress here. He said the couple have a child at Reed Fork, Okla. Hamlin, at the hospital, still maintains that he did not know his assailant and that he was at tacked without warning or provocation. He will not prosecute the man under arrest., the authorities claim. Rouse is now in the county jail but no charges have yet been filed against him. The county authorities may take the initiative and force Hamlin to prosecute the negro.—Tulsa World, 7-15. The same old story over again. Nowhere is a white man who refuses to prosecute the Colored man who cut him in a fight about a Colored woman, and they talk of forcing a prosecution. All the facts in the case show that the white man was intimate with the Colored woman, otherwise he would not have been found at the servant room where she was. Perhaps the Colored man had no legal right to be there, but far less, under the laws of this state, had he white man. If what the white man says is true, why should he refuse to prosecute the Colored man? And if what the Colored man says is true why not prosecute the white man? The hypocricy of some white men is enough to make his Satanic highness of Pluto frown in disgust. Jas. Hamlin was doubtless cut about this Colored woman with whom he had been living and the decent people, white or black have no sympathy to waste on him. Had the circumstances been reversed and Rouse had been overtaken by Hamlin with a white woman there would probably have been talk of lynching, especially by our worthy contemporaries. We insist a prosecution of all parties concerned or no prosecution as all. Colored Woman Insulted Colored Woman Insulted In Down Town Store Few people in Tulsa are aware that the infernal seed of race prejudice or white "damphoory" is to be found in some of the so-called leading stores in this city, but such is true. Last Monday, a prominent colored woman, wife of a deputy cheriff, went into the store of Hunt and Riddick with a little girl intending to purchase shoes for herself and the little girl, her niece. The salesman who waited on her seated her on a stool near the front door and proceeded to fit shoes on the little girl. Later a white woman came in and took a seat beside the colored woman. The white woman seemed perfectly at ease and unafraid of contamination or any other bad effects from having sat beside a colored woman. The salesman who came to wait on her, however, evidently felt different. Addressing the salesman waiting on the Colored woman, he said as one with the authority: "When these people come in, don't you ever seat them in front again. Take them to the rear." The colored woman flushed and smearing with righteous indignity under the sting of this cowardly outrage, coolly bid the salesman to remove the shoes from the lift the girl's feet and in true daylike fashion, departed from the store after saying all she wanted to say to the salesman who was so rude and unmanly toward her. Editor's Note—There is no reason for Colored people patronizing such places as this. There are any number of places in this city where you can spend your money without being insulted. If it is necessary for you to do your shopping down town, go where you know you are welcome. To make sure that you make no mistake look over the advertisements in this paper. You are always safe when you do your trading with those who advertise for it.

The boy was taken to the room and searched and while searching him the ring was found on the floor where it had probably fell when the suit was handed the bell boy. However, the boy was prosecuted. Lawyer Martin represented him and though the case was opposed by both county and assist- out county attorneys the boy was acquitted and is now enjoying his liberty. THE SAND SPRINGS PIC NIC-COLORED PEQ PLE MADE TO FEEL UNWELCOME The Sunday School picnic given by Dr. Bridgewater at the Sand Springs Park Monday was an affair mingled with both joy and regret by the Colored people who visited the "Dreamland of Amusement" that day. The Sand Springs Park is certainly a dream. It has many things to attract and hold the attention of the people and in many respects is equal to some of the famous parks in the larger cities of the country. But, following the general custom of the white people in this part of the vineyard, this "dream" was made to be only a "dream" for black Americans, and to carfully remind those of color who might forget or develop into a somnambulist and pass into this happy amuse-ment resort, a large sign usually hangs in a conspicuous place which, when read by a black man, does not appear at all like fiction. The sign reads something like this: NEGROES NOT ALLOWED IN THE PARK However, it is said that through the efforts of Dr. Bridgewater (Continued on Page Eight) Jury Acquits Sadie Johnson The County Attorney Disgusted Would Dismiss Jury "Not guilty" was the verdict returned by the jury in the case of Sadie Johnson who was on trial here this week for murder. It was charged that she killed a roadhouse which she was herself conducting two years ago. County attorney was so disgusted over the verdict that he dismissed the jury and recommended the dismissal of other murder cases. During the trial the woman's daughter accosted deputy sheriff Barney Cleaver and warned him that she was going to the Lord in prayer and ask Him to rain down shower after shower of eternal wrath and damnation upon his head and in his path for his part in securing evidence against her mother. Mr. Cleaver (Continued on Page 8) --- CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA CROP CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR MANY YEARS. The deepest interest is attached to the condition of the grain crops in Western Canada, especially among the thousands in the United States who are financially interested in lands in that country. This interest is fully as great among those who have friends there following farming and the growing of grain. The reports from Canadian government officials convey the information that the area under crop this year in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta will probably be no greater than that of last year. Last fall the weather was such that there was not as much fall plowing as had been hoped for. The getting ready of land this spring made a considerable portion of the grain late in seeding. Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats, barley and flax were got in in good shape, although from a week to ten days later than last year. On the 27th of June the reports regarding crop conditions generally in Western Canada were: "Abundant sunshine with timely and copious rain throughout Western Canada gives every assurance of generous harvest. Climatic conditions in recent weeks have been absolutely ideal. Western correspondents agree in predicting every indication of a bumper crop under favorable conditions. Wheat should be beended out in Manitoba between July 10th and 12th, and in Saskatchewan and Alberta from 15th to 17th. The oat crop is looking well, although late and rather short in straw." This is followed by a report July 5th: "Crop conditions continue in same satisfactory condition as last week. Plentious rains have fallen all over prairie provinces, followed by general warm and splendid growing weather. Experts agree sufficient moisture for many weeks, while crop is ten to fifteen days late, prospects are extremely favorable and conditional upon reasonable weather for next four weeks. Splendid western crop is assured." There is, therefore, the best reason to anticipate most magnificent crops throughout Western Canada in 1913.—Advertisement How to See Through Paper. A very remarkable experiment which any one can repeat with very little trouble has been unearthed by a German. Take a piece of paper of such thickness that, when it is laid upon a piece of printed matter, the characters just show through but cannot be read. Placing it over a printed sheet, impart to it a circular motion to and fro, and to your surprise you will find that now you can read the print below the paper. It is rather difficult to explain this peculiar effect. The explanation offered is that the paper has thin places in it, and by rapidly moving it over the print, every part of the printed matter is exposed in turn underneath one or the other of the thin places in the paper, and thus the entire print can be read. However that may be, the experiment is interesting and very simple, requiring for its performance only the simplest means imaginable. In the Making of Mirrora. A chemical action of the ultraviolet rays, applicable to the making of mirrors, was recently demonstrated at the French Academy of Sciences. This action consists in decomposing gaseous metallic compounds and precipitating the metal in finely divided particles on glass to form a reflecting surface. By this method it is possible to produce mirrors backed by a re-reflecting layers of zinc, antimony and other nonprecious metals. It is said that the result compares favorably with the silvered mirror.—Popular Mechanics. Real Diplomacy. In the silk department a woman was in great agitation. She had bought a 85-cent remnant, found she couldn't use it and wanted it taken back. She was in fear and trembling, and ready to get much excited if they wouldn't. But they did. "You wonder why we exchanged that?" asked the buyer. "True, we may not be able to sell it again, for she's had it a week, but if we didn't she might never come in the store again. Some are so easily offended. Didn't you see how pleased she was? She might give us a big order now. Yes, women are queer. Some day I'm going to write a book about 'em." Warm Enough? While coaching a class of children for a little play, the teacher told the boys that in the third act they would have to wear their heavy overcoats, as that would be the snow scene.

THIEVES NEVER QUIT Sleuth Tells of Apple, Chewing Gum, Secret Packet and Dog Collar Schemes in Stores—Loss From This Source Heavy. New York—Four Years ago Lottie Gross married. Her husband knew that she had served a term in Moyamensing for shoplifting. But she promised him—and she meant it—that she would never steal again. And then the baby came. "I wanted pretty things for her," said Lottie. "And so I went back to the old game. If I couldn't quit for the best man in the world I guess I never can quit. Stealing is like a disease—except that it can't be cured." That's about what the detectives think. Once a man or woman gets well started at stealing and he or she is a thief for life. "The big stores lose more by amateur shoplifters than by professionals," said D. J. Botter, manager for the criminal department of a detective agency. "A woman steals some trifling thing, that catches her eye—and gets away with it. Then she comes back—and keeps on coming back. They never let up." Cotter takes the professional thief-catcher's view of the defense of kleptomania. Now and then there may be a kleptomaniac. Most kleptomaniacs are just thieves. They get started to stealing—and it's like rolling a snowball down hill—the stealing grows. "There was the woman we may call Anna Eva," he said. "She is one of the most dangerous professional store thieves and shoplifters—there is a difference in the terms—in the country. Her husband is a captain of a lake vessel. So is one of her sons. They have a good home at Cleveland, where the daughter is married to a good man. But Anna Eva began to steal She has been a professional thief for years, and now has a prison record. "Mind you, she has no criminal associates. I do not suppose she knows another thief to speak to, though she may know them by sight. She has nothing to do with other crooks. She just steals.

Dorsey of Justice Rice's court called off these articles from a long list of children's playthings, Edith V. Chase, a seventeen-year-old bride, sorted them from a pile heaped high in the outer office. She was to take them to her home—her new home—following a decision of the court in a replevin action that she was entitled to the playthings of her childhood, even though her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Willis, attempted to retain them when their daughter became the wife of S. L. Chase, son of Adjutant General Chase, last December. The marriage was objected to because of the girl's tender years.

NEVER QUIT time, living at good hotels. She is a kindly, placid, pleasant woman of middle age—and a professional thief. Like all the others, she began as an amateur. "I don't know that there are any particularly new schemes against which store managers should be on the alert," said Cotter. "Every one knows the old trick with a hunk of chewing gum. The first thief sticks a ring under the ledge of the counter with the gum. Then the other comes along and runs his hand under the counter edge and gets the ring and vamooses. Open umbrellas are often used as receptacles. The nearest trick turned lately was in the west, when a good looking, well dressed man sauntered into a jewelry store with an apple in his hand. He looked at a tray filled with valuable rings. "Wah!" he suddenly sputtered. "This apple is wormy." IN THE THICK O One of the Thrilling Scenes from Hardest Fought Sporting Contest Ever Witnessed. New York.—Those who have followed the international polo match played between the English and the Thrilling Moment. American teams at Meadow Brook, Long Island, have little conception of the strenuous game polo, when played as these champion poloists play it, doll, one picture of Cupid, and other things, with a value only to the one who has possessed them in childhood. TAUGHT ROOSEVELT TO DANCE Dancing Master Who Died at Eighty-Eight Was Also Instructor to Many Other Notables. New York—John H. Trenor, who died at his home in New Rochelle at the age of eighty-eight years, boasted that he had taught Theodore Roosevelt, William K. Vanderbilt, Chauncey M. Depew and James Gordon Bennett how to dance. Trenor for many years taught members of New York society the art of dancing and accumulated a large fortune. He claimed to have built the first apartment house in New York, at the corner of Sixth avenue and Forty-eighth street. Improved Street Sweeper The up-to-date street sweeping machine is entirely enclosed in a canvas envelope to prevent the scattering of the dirt from the broom. Whereupon he threw the apple into the street. The conf derate, on the lookout, picked up the apple and the gem which had been hidden in it and made off. An almost equally nifty device is to equip the collar of a pet dog with a secret pocket. When the stolen ring has been placed in the pocket, while the operator is petting the animal, it leaps to the floor. "Catch my dear little doggie," yelps the bereaved shoplifter. Every one hurries to oblige. The dear little doggie fits its little tail into the groove and scampers for home, as it has been trained to do. The shoplifter profits by the fact that the managers of stores hesitate to prosecute. They believe that honest customers are inclined to shun stores in which such arrests are frequently made, fearing that an entirely innocent action might lead to an unpleasant seizure and search. But the total loss by shoplifting and by store thieves is so great that the National Retail Dry Goods association was recently formed for co-operation in protection. really is. The photograph vividly portrays an intense moment of the second game of the international match played June 14, when the following players (left to right) Waterbury, Freake and Milburn (Americans in white shirts, English in dark shirts) were engaged in a hair raising scrimmage as Captain Freake sent a smashing drive, but failed to make a goal. BOY HELD AS BLACKMAILER Telegraph Runner, Aged Fifteen, Confesses to Attempted Extortion In London. Paris.—A telegraph boy, aged fifteen, was arrested on a charge of attempted blackmail. He and his comrades at a branch postoffice had been in the habit of opening telegrams and reading them. In this way the boy learned of an intrigue that was being carried on by a married woman. He wrote demanding $30 as the price of his silence, but his letter fell into the hands of the woman's uncle, who gave him in charge. The lad confessed, but the woman declined to prosecute. OFFERS CHILDREN FOR SALE Poverty Stricken Mother Advertises Two Girls and Baby Boy for $750 Each. Berlin.—For several days various newspapers of Thuringia and else- where in central Germany have con- tained an advertisement stating that a mother offers to sell "a beautiful girl of fourteen, a handsome girl of five and a bonny baby boy aged one" for $750 apiece. An investigation shows that the woman is a divorcee, who, despairing of making a livelihood for herself or her children, conceived the idea of selling them. Only the eldest girl is a child of her divorced husband, the two younger children having been born since she lived apart from him. The authorities have decided to withdraw the children from their mother's care and to place them in institutions.

ADAMS Mrs. Edith Durham bowed slightly to the gentleman who took his seat beside her at her table aboard the trans-Atlantic steamship. The cord upon his plate read "Mr. Durham," and evidently the steward had mistaken him for her husband. She smiled a little at this, because her husband was not accompanying her to New York. They had purchased tickets, but an unforeseen accident had prevented him from accompanying her. Her interest in the stranger who so calmly usurped John Durham's seat was therefore awakened. Their conversation was of the usual polite, fragmentary order common to ocean travelers at their first meal. The second meal, next morning, found them almost alone at the table, for a stiff gale had kept the others below. This time they discovered mutual friends and interests in London. They paced the deck together, and it was in the late afternoon when Edith Durham turned suddenly upon her companion. "Does it strike you as ordinary," she asked, "that you have not told me your name?" "My name?" inquired the man, taken aback. "My name is—James Richmond." "I asked," said the woman coldly, "because I fancy most people in the first cabin believe that you are my husband. And," she continued, "it seems to me that you have done nothing to dispel that belief. You have not only taken Mr. Durham's seat, but you have kept at my side in an ostentatious manner." "Mr. Durham is not aboard this ship," replied the other quietly. "And pray how do you know that?" she demanded. Richmond looked at her keenly. Des spite the severity of her tones there A "Tell Me About it." seemed to lurk an undercurrent of amusement in her attitude toward him. He came suddenly to a resolution. "I'm going to throw myself upon my mercy, Mrs. Durham," he said. "I should have had to do so anyway, but I hoped to win your confidence first. It is a desperate chance. But it is my only chance. I want you to let me keep up the pretense." "That you are my husband?" she inquired in astonishment "So far as the other passengers are concerned," he answered. "It is a matter of life and death to me—and I don't want to die. It is not that I am a coward, but—well, life is always sweet, I suppose." "Come and sit over here." she answered. His head was bowed and he did not see the sudden recognition, the sudden look of horror upon her face. "Let me tell you all before you say a word," Richmond continued. "Can you imagine that a man may be, at one moment, a respected citizen, with a life career before him, and, five minutes later, a man with the brand of Caln upon his forehead. If you can, look at me, and you will see such a man. "Two days ago I had dined at Princess' restaurant, in Piccadilly. I strolled up toward Hyde Park in the evening, enjoying the summer air and thinking of my future. I had used life successfully; I was becoming known as a leader at the bar. Everything seemed roseate. I had reached Hyde Park before I was aware of it, and, entering, I seated myself upon a chair. As I sat there, concealed by a tree from passers by, a hansom stopped. A man and a woman in evening dress got out. The man was mad with excitement; the woman was calm. "He was talking like a maniac, threatening her, apparently. I could not help overhearing what he said; to have risen would have attracted his attention and put the woman to greater humiliation. And it happened too quickly for me to make up my mind whether to stay or go. "I gathered that they were husband and wife. He wanted her to divorce him and she refused. She had conscientious scruples, it seemed. He was infatuated with another woman. He pleaded, swore, raged at her, using language that no woman should even know. And at last he took her by the shoulder and struck her across the mouth. "You know how one acts in such emergencies, without thinking. Something seemed to snap inside my brain. I sprang from my seat and drove my fist into his face. He fell back, striking a lamp-post with his head, quivered a moment, and lay still. When I raised him I could see at once that he was dead. "The woman stood like a stone. She said nothing, because there was nothing to say. I knew that she was glad; the insult had merited no other penalty. And I was glad that I had set her free. But I was a murderer, and the English law knows no mercy." "I took the first train for Southampton and bought a ticket to America. I booked as James Richmond; my real name is Carlyle. I found, by inquiry, that you were travelling alone, though your husband's name was down upon the list. That was after the steward had placed me at your side, taking me for him. I should not have tried such a trick, even to escape death, had not fortune seemed to offer this avenue of escape to me." He looked up for the first time. "If you will let me keep your husband's name," he said, "it will not harm or compromise you in any way. And I can land; otherwise I shall be arrested in New York. As I said, life is sweet, but I have a stronger reason. I have a sister to support, and if I die or suffer life imprisonment she will starve." Edith Durham placed her hand lightly on his. "I will do as you ask," she said, in a voice trembling with emotion, "because of your sister's sake, and yours—and also for the sake of that unknown woman whom you so chivalrously defended, because—because I think she must be glad." She shuddered. "My own marriage has been unhappy," she said. "Do not believe that a woman loves and clings to a brutal husband. I—I" She could not speak further. He carried Edith Durham's suit case down the gangway at New York unmolested. He had stood by her side in the saloon, answering the questions of the immigration officer, well aware that the quiet, shrewd-eyed man who sat beside him was a detective from the police department. He had seen the man's gaze light on him inquiringly, and had seen the detective whisper to the immigration official. And he had returned the glance unflinchingly, because he knew that the loyalty of the woman beside him would carry him through all dangers. And now they were upon the street, with every danger past. He helped Mrs. Durham into her taxicab and placed her suit case at her side. He raised his hat. "I thank you for my sister's sake," he said. "We shall not meet again. I shall go west and you will return to England—" "I shall never go back to England" she said with sudden vehemence. He felt that she had something of import to add. He waited. Suddenly she bent toward him. "Don't you know me?" she asked with a half sob. "That man was—my husband!" (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) Bonus Earned. People at sea bet upon all sorts of contingencies. An emigrant ship from England was recently approaching the Australian coast, and an interesting event was expected at any moment in the married people's quarters. Considerable speculation and excitement was developed over the question whether the happy event would take place within or without the three-mile limit. A great cheer went up when it was officially announced that the little stranger was legally an Australian and had earned the five-pound baby bonus of the commonwealth. A minute or two earlier and the child would have been a native of Stepney, London, to which parish children born at sea belong Electric Bath Preserves Wood A French process of "electrocutting" timber is declared to give perfect seasoning in a single night. With lead-plate electrodes on each side, the timber is placed in a solution containing ten per cent. of borax, 5 per cent of resin and a little soda; and application of the current expels the sap and fills the wood cells with the borax and resin.

IDEAS for HOME BUILDERS by WM. A. RADFORD IDEAS for HOME BUILDERS by WM. A. RADFORD 5082× 5082× --- Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE ON COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. One of the most frequent demands made upon architects and builders is for a house of moderate cost, yet one that will satisfy persons of taste and refinement and come up to what they feel a home ought to be. With the advancing scale of prices both for building materials of all kinds and for the skilled labor required to fashion them into a permanent residence, the problem of satisfying this demand seems to become more and more difficult of solution. The writer has given a great deal of study to this matter, and has come to the conclusion that the way out lies not in going without, as so many families do—continuing indefinitely the old, unsatisfactory renting life, nothing is to be found in running far into debt—also as many do—contracting obligations far beyond their safe ability, and mortgaging the future happiness and safety of the home. No, the problem is rather one for the architect to meet, unwilling as they usually are to help much along lines of economy. Architects ordinarily, are paid a certain percentage, ranging from 5 to 12 per cent., on the total cost of labor and materials entering into the construction; so it is only natural if they seem a trifle uninterested and lukewarm about holding down the expense. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the skilled architect, in designing a house—especially if he has given that branch of the work special study—can so plan that the expense will be within reach of modest means, let the house be convenient and attractive, making a thoroughly desirable home. Simplicity of design, construction and arrangement is a present-day tendency that helps along very materially to this end.

PORCH 15'6"X7'3" First Floor Plan. the gig-saw scroll work, the towers and spires and the much cut-up floor plans find no favor with home builders today. Builders now have to depend more on the symmetry and right proportion of their different parts for their attractiveness; and the convenience of housekeeping and of home life. General are the factors that determine the arrangement of interiors. rather than the desire for mere display. The architects' task is probably more difficult under this new order of things than formerly; at least more careful thought and study are required if a house of medium size is to have any distinctiveness or individuality of appearance. But with a skilled designer who will really work to that end a thoroughly desirable BED RM. 12'0"X11'0" BATH 8'6"X6'6" HALL CL BED RM 16'0"X12'6" Second Floor Plan. residence may be planned which will fully meet the requirements of the case, yet still be within the reach of the family of moderate means. The accompanying design is a good example of what may be accomplished along the lines mentioned. This is a house of good size. 22 feet 6 inches THE HOME OF THE MAYOR by 33 feet 6 inches, having a very large living room, dining room, kitchen and pantry on the first floor and two large bed rooms, bath room and three clothes closets on the second floor; arrangement of the rooms as well as their size, lighting, etc., is according to the most approved ideas of today for convenience and sanitation; the exterior, although simple and plain, is exceedingly attractive; the construction is thoroughgoing and substantial, using waterproof cement foundation, three-coat cement plaster walls and creosoted red cedar shingle roof. Yet the total cost for the material and labor for this house is estimated at $2,000; with the very best of hard wood finish—oak flooring and red oak or birch trim—good grade of plumbing and electric lighting and with a satisfactory basement heating plant, the cost of this house should not be more than $3,000. Appreciation of Art. Harrison Fisher, the illustrator, tells the following at his own expense: "I was once lounging about a hall wherein certain of my illustrations were being exhibited when I chanced to overhear a woman standing in front of one of them exclaim with heartfelt fervor: "Ah! If I only knew the artist of this!" "Pardon me, madam,' said I, hastening up, 'but I am the artist.' "In that case,' said she, with a winning smile, 'won't you tell me the name of the dressmaker who made that perfectly dear frock your model wore?' "—Lippincott's Magazine. His Thought. She (after the quarrel)—Leave my presence! He (confused)—Why—er—you've got them all!—Judge.

Everybody knows that boiled milk keeps much more satisfactorily in warm weather than raw milk—in fact, boiling milk is the one sure way of keeping it on a sultry day. But to many persons the taste of boiled milk is unpalatable, and to others even its odor is unpleasant. To overcome these two faults, try boiling the milk in a tightly-closed double boiler. Do not remove the cover, but allow the milk to stay over the fire in the double boiler for ten minutes after the water has begun to boil. Then put the milk, still tightly covered, immediately on the ice and cool it quickly.

It would be a paying investment. Tulsa is getting the reputation of being a murder's town, because so few murderers and would be assassins are convicted here. If the Salvation Army wants to give the worthy poor automobile outings, dinners, etc., the editor of the Tulsa Star should come in for a good share. The meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night will result in untold good to the city if present plans are followed without fear or favor. Lieut. Gov. McAlester is reported to be a candidate for governor of this state. If this is true the governor's friends will be delighted to get busy and make hay while the sun shines. The public man who is afraid to fight vice and corruption because of what he makes from that source is not a good citizen. He is unworthy to be called husband, friend or brother. Clean up the loafers and hoodlums. We don't need them. We need a clean, thrifty class of business men, but few could be induced to bring their families to a town overridden with vampires of the underworld. Colored people who do their shopping down town should keep posted as to the best places to go. The best way to do this is to read the advertisements in this paper. The merchants who advertise for your trade will treat you right. The Star is now carrying a "Want Ad" column, which will till a growing demand among our people, and the white people as well, inasmuch as "Colored Help" and "White Employers" may come in touch with each other through the Star "Want Columns." Read the Star "Want Column." Last Sunday was an exciting day for the officers of the law on North Greenwood and a very disgraceful one for citizens of the East End. There is a class of "toughs" who inhabit certain places on North Greenwood and who at times make it almost intolerable for decent people to pass without being made to feel some regret for being a resident here, and ashamed that they are not men and women with moral stamina enough to drive from their midst such ignoble characters as these. We are all guilty to the extent that we tolerate them without protest. We are responsible to our wives and our boys and girls. If these are truly necessary evils let us remove them to a necessary district. At any rate North Greenwood and no other public street is a good place for them. To protect the lives and virtues of our loved ones, it is absolutely binding upon us to remove from our midst every cause for the evil. There is considerable complaint from half timid people about "Morgan's Hall" on North Greenwood as a "booze joint" and a resort for the rough element. If this place or any other place on N. Greenwood is in any way abetting or encouraging this low class of toughs by selling them intoxicating liquors, it should be closed or at least removed from our midst. Every good citizen should favor cleaning the only passage way for the families to go to and from town. The Star is openly opposed to all bad sores on public morals. We are eternally opposed to such disgraceful scenes as were enacted Sunday within a block of the church, where the better element of citizens were trying to worship God, on a public street where women and girls and little boys were passing on their way home or to church. We are opposed to the general moral and social conditions existing here, and we serve notice now that we are preparing to turn on the lights and train our guns against it. Not because we are so good ourselves, but because the conditions are so bad. We are not seeking the enmity of anyone. We are working for the common good of every one. We will not spare any one who comes under the rays of the electric lights and the blaze of our fire. Those who do not take sides with us of course may be presumed to belong to the class we are fighting, because no truly good man or woman would desire to be indifferent in a crisis of this kind. The respect and virtue of our girls and women is at stake and he is worse than a coward who refuses to take up the fight in their defense. If you are not cowards, men, show your colors! JUST A WORD TO THE READING PUBLIC: Have you noticed what a nice line of ads we carry? These advertisements represent a class of merchants and other business and professional men who are doing legitimate business and who are the real town builders, because they are not engaged in business for a purely selfish motive. They are men who have made good or are doing so, not from the spoils of an illigitimate business, but from honest endeavor and lawful enterprise. We feel that we can vouch for all of our advertisers as business men who are anxious to give the public full measure in every respect for their money. It is usually those who advertise that give the best bargains. The fellow who never advertises is usually the fellow who is afraid for the public generally to find him out. Therefore, we urge you to read carefully our advertising columns and spend your money with those who are advertising in the Star. You will not make any mistake by so doing. The man who refuses to advertise for your trade is not entitled to it. Corner Archer and Greenwood Local News in and Around Town. Local News in and Around Town.

The famous Natiello Band has been engaged for the Seventh Annual Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition, Oklahoma City, September 23 to October 4, 1913. One of the features of this band will be the celebrated soloist, Miss Olive Elson Scharf, a soprano of note. She has just completed a successful tour of the large cities of Europe. Everywhere she was a favorite. As the star attraction of some of the leading orchestras of this country, and prima donna of the German Opera Company, Miss Scharf has achieved much success. She is a young, comely woman. Her voice is characterized by sweetness and finesse. In solo work she is unexcelled. Another famous soloist accompanying the band is Joseph C. Ramser, a baritone, who ranks with the most popular singers in America. Mr. Ramser will also feature the appearance of the band at each concert, and the band itself will present various novelties, such as chimes and bells. WHEAT ESTIMATE LOWER Crop Will Aggregate 15,000,000 to 18,000,000 Bushels Oklahoma's wheat yield for this year will aggregate from 15,000,000 to 18,000,000 bushels. This represents a falling off of approximately 50 per cent from what the prospects were for a yield the latter part of May when the dry weather caused the wheat to lose the moisture that was so necessary for the final ripening period. Last year's total yield for Oklahoma was approximately 20,000,000 bushels. Chinch bugs did little damage to the wheat, the principal damage having been due to the 'drouth, according to Charles F. Prouty, secretary treasurer of the Oklahoma Grain Dealers' association. Prospects for a big yield were never brighter than a week before the time for the wheat to ripen, and the crop harvested does not represent the highest grade of wheat, he said. Fifteen million bushels will be a good yield, according to D. C. Kolp, of the firm of E. R. and D. C. Kolp, grain dealers, who estimate that at least 10,000,000 bushels were lost because of the drought. This also is the contention of R. H. Conyers, manager of J. Rosenbaum Grain company, and of J. J. Stinnett, manager of the Oklahoma Export company. The wheat will bring approximately 75 cents a bushel to the farmers, they contend. Ash Heap for Grandma. A certain little fellow loves his grandmother dearly. The other day, hearing her talk, perhaps a bit mournfully, of growing old, the child was much troubled. "Grandma," he asked, his baby arms about the beloved neck, "when you do get old will mamma throw you out on the ash heap, like she does all our old things?" It Would Seem So. "What do you consider the most im- important event in the history of Paris?" asked the obsequious landlord of the American tourist. "Well," replied the tourist, who had grown weary of distributing tips, "so far as financial prosperity is concerned. I should say the discovery of America was the making of this town." Contagious. "Tis strange," muttered a young man, as he staggered home from a supper party, "how evil communications corrupt good manners. I've been surrounded by tumblers all the evening, and now I'm a tumbler myself." Katy Kicks on Its Taxes Muskogee—Alleging the Oklahoma "tax ferret law" is invalid, because it is in conflict with both the constitution of the United States and of Oklahoma, the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad brought suit in the superior court which if won will knock out the law, according to local attorneys. The suit is brought against W. H. Wainwright as treasurer of Muskogee county, and asks the court to prohibit the treasurer from placing on the tax books $10,000 worth of company property in this county. Baptists Are Asked to Save College Judgment for $18,000 against the Oklahoma State Baptist college of Blackwell was granted in district court in favor of the State Life Insurance company of Missouri, which holds a mortgage against the institution. Unless the incumbrance is raised by August 11, the property valued at $100,000 will be sold at auction by the sheriff. There are over 80,000 Baptists in the state and they have been appealed to for the necessary funds to save the school. A Young Naturalist. One afternoon my little sister, aged four, while sitting looking at our canary, turned to me and asked: "Sister, when the canary grows up will it be a poll parrot?" Square Foot and Foot Square. There is no difference in area between one square foot and one foot square, though there may be a difference in the shape and dimensions of the surfaces. For instance, one square fqot may be inclosed by a circular line, a hexagon, a triangle or a rectangle. One foot square is an area of fixed form, the four sides being equal and the four angles all right-angles. Doubling Human Life. In 1866 the public health conditions of New York were in so low a state that the average length of life of the inhabitants was 80 years. In 1912 these conditions of life was 66 years. Thus the value of human life, reckoned in terms of time alone, had more than doubled in less than half a century.—Century. Difference Between Two Words The vast difference between the words "may" and "shall" can be fittingly described by those who have gone before the peril bhard. Corner Archer and Greenwood The SUITORS OF Mrs. MERRIWID BY KENNETT HARRIS F. Thorbury "There Is Nothing Wrong With Your Appetite, Melissa." TULSA OKLA STAR The SUN Mrs. M BY K MELISSA WOULD NOT MATE WITH A FOOD FADDIST. Mrs. Merriwid tucked her napkin into its ring, breathed a sigh of satisfaction slightly flavored by a mint tablet, and put her elbows on the table. "I feel considerably better, thank you," she observed. "I should hope you would, my dear," replied her maternal maiden aunt Jane. "I must say there is nothing wrong with your appetite, Melissa." "No?" said Mrs. Merriwid, with a lift of her eyebrows. "Well, that's just where you and Mr. Herbidge disagree. He considers my appetite depraved, and right there Mr. Herbidge and little Lissy stand on opposite sides of a yawning abysmal gulf—with most of the yawn on my side, I may say." "It seems to me that a difference of opinion regarding diet can hardly be considered in the light of an insuperable objection, my dear." Aunt Jane remonstrated. "That's merely because you haven't given the matter due consideration, dearie," said Mrs. Merriwid. "And you're probably going on the Jack Sprat theory of mutual compromise and adjustment. That listens good at the first roseate blush, too, but it wouldn't work outside of Mother Goose, believe me. You'd find Mr. Sprat filled with disgust as well as lean meat every time he looked across the table and saw the lady lifting in the flabby fat, and she would naturally have a low opinion of his taste. At that, they would have something in common, being both partial to meat. But imagine Mrs. Sprat with roast "There Is Nothing Wrong With Y sirloin of beef and Jack spreading peanut butter on an oatmeal cracker for his! Nay, dear aunt. Not on your counterfeit presentiment!" "People of entirely opposite tastes get along together very nicely quite often," Aunt Jane contended. "Not when it comes to the eats, Pet," said Mrs. Merriwid. "We may disagree with our husbands on questions of religion and art and dress and finance, but not on the subject of dinner. Of course a liberal man will concede something to the finer feminine preferences, and a wise lady will tolerate and even pander to occasional vulgarities in the way of onions and lunch herring. But in the main, she must like what he likes, and if she doesn't, she must learn to." "Couldn't you learn to like what Mr. Herbidge does?" asked Aunt Jane. "Who, me? I? Why, gracious goodness Agnes!" That man doesn't like anything!" exclaimed Mrs. Merriwild, "only nuts and such, and I'm no squirrel if I am frisky at times. Why, auntle, don't you understand that he's a vegetarian? He doesn't even like nuts. They don't like things, dearie; they eat them because they contain certain elements. They eat to live, they don't live to eat. Didn't you know that? Why, yes. And it gives them something to talk about, too. You, dear aunt, sit down and consume lamb chops without the least idea of what they contain. You couldn't tell to save your swan-like neck whether they were rich in phosphates or sulphites or bromides. You don't catch a vegetarian feeding on anything that he hasn't got the chemical formula for. He goes into his little white-tiled restaurant and looks over the bill of fare. "Let me see," he says. 'Proteids York od ..... —hum! Yes. I think I'll take a few proteids on the half shall and some adenoids and broiled carbo-hydrates, with a demi tasse of nitrate and a half portion of phosphorus." "Don't be absurd, Melissa," begged Aunt Jane. "It isn't me; it's them," replied her niece. "Eat to live! What's the use of living if you've got to regard yourself as a laboratory to convert raw material into elements? The balanced ration may be all right, but it depends a good deal on the place you get it, and to some extent, on the waiter who balances it. He had the impudence to sneer at what he called eaters of dead flesh." "A waiter?" inquired Aunt Jane "Mr. Herbidge, goose!" said Mrs. Merriwid. "Wouldn't that give you the shock of a concussion? He remarked that no carnivorous creature could attain to spiritual heights, or even to a high order of mentality. I asked him how long he thought I would have to abstain from dead flesh to climb to his intellectual level, and he said he was talking generally. I said he was talking foolishly. "I never heard that Nebuchadnezar's mentality was improved when he became a vegetarian," says I to him, says I. 'Not that I have anything against vegetables when they aren't turnip-heads,' I proceeded, in tones of blighting sarcasm. 'I approve of beans in moderation and in conjunction with pork, and as a supplement to roast turkey, I'm strong for cranberry sauce or chestnut dressing,' I told him. Nobody ever heard me say a word against cabbage or carrots when they With Your Appetite, Melissa." are chaperoned by corned beef or boiled ham, and rice goes well with chicken a la creole," I continued; 'but when it comes to leaving the meat out of a meal and still calling it a meal, I raise my voice in protest and beg to be excused." Such were my words. Believe me, auntie, there are even people who don't like broiled lobster, but I could never learn to love one of them." "Don't you think he likes it?" asked Aunt Jane. "He's no cannibal," replied Mrs. Merriwid, "but on general principles, auntie, a woman wants to beware of a man who won't eat any old thing, just so it's well cooked." (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) How Did "O. K." Start? You've often seen the initials "O. K." scribbled as an endorsement. Do you know how the phrase originated? No? Neither does anyone else. But here are two versions of the origin. Either may be true. Or neither. When Andrew Jackson as a young man wished to "vise" official papers he said to have marked them "O. K." with the idea that the initials stood for "all correct." That is one version. Here is the other: In olden days the finest quality of rum was stamped "Aux cayes," which is pronounced like "O. K." and the initials thus came to signify anything that was without fault. Muddled. The lecturer arose and said impressively: "Every time I see a young man coming out of a saloon, I want to go right up to that young man and say, 'Turn right around, young man; you're going the wrong way.'"—New York Mail. SAVED FROM OPERATIONS Two Women Tell How They Escaped the Surgeon's Knife by Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Swarthmore, Pem. — "For fifteen years I suffered untold agony, and for one period of nearly twowe years hadem- orrhages and the doctors told me I would have to undergo an operation, but I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and am in good health now. I am all over the Change of Life and one period of nearly two years I hadhemorrhages and the doctors told me I would have to undergo an operation, but I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and am in good health now. I am all over the Change of Life and cannot praise your Vegetable Compound too highly. Every woman should take it at that time. I recommend it to both old and young for female troubles." — Mrs. EMILY SUMMERSCILL, Swarthmore, Pa. Baltimore, Md.—"My troubles began with the loss of a child, and I had hemorrhages for four months. The doctors said an operation was necessary, but I dreaded it and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The medicine has made me a well woman and I feel strong and do my own work."—Mrs. J. R. PICKING, 1260 Sargent St., Baltimore, Md. Since we guarantee that all testimonials which we publish are genuine, is it not fair to suppose that if Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has the virtue to help these women it will help any other woman who is suffering in a like manner? HAD TO BACK UP THE BOSS And Really, When You Come to Think of It, Rastus May Have Been Telling the Truth. They were talking about being placed in difficult positions the other afternoon, when Congressman Frank Guernsey of Maine told of the unenviable experience of a party named Rastus. Rastus and the man he worked for were in the corner grocery store one night, the congressman said, and the topic turned to deer shooting. The employer of Rastus declared he had shot a buck some time previously, the ball going through the left hind foot and landing in the head just below the ear. Naturally the crowd laughed derisively. "You may laugh all you please," declared the man, holding his ground, "but I can prove it by Iastus, there, who was shooting with me! Rastus, didn't I hit that buck in the left hind foot and back of the ear at the same time?" "Yo' shuah did, boss," answered Rastus, with no hesitation to speak of. "Yo' see it war dis way, gen'men; jes' as de boss go to shoot, de buck raise his hind foot to scratch his left ear, an' dat's how it happened." You may be justified in blowing your own horn, but not in going on a toot.

LEWIS'SINGLE BINDER SINNITIAL CIGAR ALWAYS RELIABLE Death Lurks In A Weak Heart If You're in fluttering or weak, use "RENOVINZ." Made by Van Vleet-Menefield Bran Co., Memphis, Tenn. Price $1.00 CHICKENS DUCKS and TURKEYS FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS Ample Room May Be Provided With Assistaneck of Modern Wire Fencing and Few Posts. The old method of free range need not necessarily be changed. The fowls should not, however, be allowed to run at will within the garden or in and about the farm buildings. Nothing is more aggravating or disgusting than to have the nice vegetables or beautiful flowers scratched up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the barn floor, and the farm machines fouled with poultry droppings. Separate the poultry also from the other live stock of the farm. If the fowls are to be kept near the farm buildings, provide ample range enclosed by modern poultry wire fencing. The latter requires ordinarily but a few posts, is easily put up and has a very neat appearance when in position. Another way of separating the fowls from the center of farm operations is to place the hen houses at a considerable distance from the farmstand, in a pasture where the fowls will have absolute range. The latter plan may entail some extra travel by the poultryman and there is the risk in some localities of depredations by foxes, hawks or other wild animals or by thieves. The young, strong farmer boy may find advantage in the second or so-called "colony plan," while the housewife will probably prefer the fenced enclosure near the farm house. Thirdly the farmer is too careless in the way he disposes of his poultry products. He is usually content to trade his eggs at the nearest grocery store when by a little extra effort he could gain a select private trade which would pay far better. His pure bred stock of one breed of fowls in their well kept house and capacious grassy yards will be a great advertisement for his egg products and uniform clean appearance of the eggs in their attractive package will prove an additional help in making sales. Then, too, in disposing of his fowls the farmer often sells the birds alive when by carefully dressing them on the farm and selling to his customers on orders he could secure far better prices. FEEDING COOP FOR SOUABS Materials Necessary Consist of Hundred Feet of Flooring and Piece of Wire Mesh. A satisfactory coop for fattening chicks of "Leghorn squabs," as the trade calls them, is shown in the accompanying illustration. The materials necessary consist of 100 feet of flooring, two pieces of wire netting $ \frac{1}{2} $ by 4 feet, a piece of inch mesh wire for the front, a feed drawer made from store boxes, a pair of hinges, door transom and some roofing paint. The floor is covered with road dust. The floor is covered with road dust. Fattening Coop. writes Mrs Almo of Chaves county, N. M., in the Farmers Mall and Breeze. A dry feed mixture put up by a local feed store consists of cracked corn, milo, wheat, bran, alfalfa meal and meat meal. Milk curd is fed twice a week. The feed drawer is filled twice week. I find more gain in weight by using a coop than in yards, and use less feed. I put the chicks in this coop as soon as they are old enough to take from the brooder. Methods of Feeding Fowls. Fowls should have empty crops in the morning and the crops should never be quite full until it is time to go to roost at night. For the first feed, grain scattered in the litter early in the morning is preferred, the sooner the better after the birds leave the roosts. This induces them to exercise, which is especially important on cold winter mornings. In the middle of the day a warm, molested mash should be given, about what they will eat within 15 to 20 minutes, and at night, about an hour before they go to roost, a liberal feed of grain should be scattered in the litter. HOW COCA COLA REFRESHES. The remarkable success which has attended the sale of Coca-Cola has been explained in many different ways. Some have attributed it to "good advertising;" others to "efficient management," others, to its "delicious flavor" and still others to the fact that it was the first in the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks. In this connection, the opinion of a manufacturing chemist who has analyzed Coca-Cola and studied its history for many years, will prove interesting. He attributes the popularity of the drink in large part to its quality of refreshing both mind and body without producing any subsequent depression. He points out the fact that the chemical composition of Coca-Cola is practically identical with that of coffee and tea (with sugar added) the only material difference being the absence of tannic acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the laboratory experiments of Dr. Hollingworth of Columbia University and of Dr. H. C. Wood, Jr. of Philadelphia which prove conclusively that the caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, tea, Coca-Cola, etc.) relieve mental and muscular fatigue by rendering the nerves and muscles more responsive to the will, thus diminishing the resistance produced by fatigue. These experiments also demonstrate the fact that the caffeine group of beverages differ from the stimulants in that the use of the latter is followed by a period of depression which calls for more stimulation, thus resulting in the formation of a "habit."—Adv. Bicycles Popular in France. From statistics for 1912, prepared by the Cycle and Automobile Manufacturers' association of France, it is reported that there were at the close of that year 89,185 motor cars, 28,641 motorcycles and 2,989,985 bicycles in use in France. This represents, for the population of France, one automobile for every 500 inhabitants, one bicycle for every 10 and one motorcycle for every 1,382. Ten years ago there was one motorcycle for every 2,000 inhabitants and one bicycle for every 30 persons. The department of the Seine, in which Paris is situated, has 21,494 automobiles and 304,866 bicycles. Between 1910 and 1911 there was the enormous increase of 300,000 bicycles. In 1899 there were in France only 1,762 automobile, whereas in 1912 the figure rose to 89,185. It is estimated that from 1,800 to 2,000 foreign-made cars are sold in France every year. The French manufacturers build the remainder sold in France, estimated by the association as being 12,000 to 15,000 last year. Time's Changes Lamented. Talk of the dog as a beast of burden in England and one recalls the importance of the canine help in the fish transit business of the past. The carriers from the south coast towns to inland markets were once Newfoundland dogs. Thus the order of the team as quoted by Mr. Parker in "Highways and Byways in Surrey:" "Teams of two or four were harnessed together. The man would 'cock his legs up along the sharves.' They not only went as fast as the coaches, but they gained time when the coaches stopped to change horses. A dog-drawn carriage used to bring fish from Littlehampton to Godalming, wher oysters were often to be bought three a penny." Oysters at three a penny have gone with the dogs!—London Chronicle. FACE FULL OF PIMPLES Ruffin, N. C.—"My face became full of pimples and blackheads, and would itch, burn and smart. The skin was rough and red. I was really ashamed of my face. My arms and back were affected almost as badly. The pimples would fester and there would come a dry scab on top. The trouble caused my face to be disfigured badly and the itching would bother me so I could not sleep well nights, especially during warm weather. "The trouble lasted me three long years without anything doing me any good until a friend told me about Cuticura Soap and Ointment and then I decided to try them. After the first application I could see some improvement. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment two weeks I did not look like the same person; most of the pimples had disappeared. At the end of four weeks I was completely cured." (Signed) Miss Mamie Mitchell, Jan. 9, 1913. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each, with 32-p. Skin Book.

STAR BENEATH THIS MAN'S DIGNITY Was Willing to Do Much, but Drew the Line at Acting as Secretary to Barnyard Fowl. A farmer in one of the neighboring townships, who had gone into scientific poultry raising, hit upon the scheme of marking each egg with certain data in indelible ink. His idea was to find which variety of chickens laid best, and then, when the eggs were hatched, attach a tag to the chickens' legs. He soon found that his hired man was negligent about properly inscribing the eggs. One day not an egg was marked, and the farmer read him the riot act. The hired man listened in sullen silence until the boss finished. Then he said: "See here. You'll have to get another man." "Why, Jim, you're not going to leave me, after working for me for six years?" "Yes, I am." returned the hired man.

The baby of the family had been christened that afternoon and little Jane was observed looking thoughtful. Somebody asked what troubled her. "Oh, I was just a-wondering!" was the quiet reply. "What were you wondering about, dearie?" "Oh, I was just a-wondering if all the people's names had been used up." "What do you mean, dearie? We don't understand." Jane looked surprised at the density of adult perceptions, but deigned to explain, gently: "Oh, I noticed that we're going to call the baby Hazel, and it seems as if she might have a real name 'stead of a nut!'"

Made by W Unfortunates' Yearly Feast At Fosdyke, a tiny village in England, there is held every year a most quaint dinner known as the Bede house feast. Some gentleman, many years back, left a sum of money with which a number of Bede houses were to be built, and once a year he directed that the occupants were to have a feast. Every year the six old ladies and the six old gentlemen meet the trustees and have dinner. Some of the trustees are county councilors and the like, but according to the terms of the will they have to serve the old people first and make them comfortable. The guests always sit in the same order as the number of their houses, and the menu must include a bowl of punch and a veal pie with plums in it. Looking for the Reward. A royal school had a pretty girl as its teacher, but she was much troubled because many of her pupils were late every morning. At last she made the announcement that she would kiss the first pupil to arrive at the schoolhouse the next morning. At sunrise three of the largest boys of her class were sitting on the door step of the schoolhouse and by 6 o'clock every boy in the school and four of the directors were waiting for her to arrive. —Ladies' Home Journal.

Ice water was denied them and with the exception of the baskets, etc., taken out there by the Sunday school children and their parents and a few gallons of ice cream, there was no refreshments available for Colored people.
