The Motto of Every Negro should be: "You Push Me and I Push You." A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Vol. 2, No. 14 The Motto of NEGRO A HERO Takes up Gun of and Wounds Esc 一 McAlester, Okla., Jan 20.—(Special.) An attempt to fix the blame for the tragedy enacted at the state penitentiary here yesterday, in which seven men lost their lives and three persons were wounded, hinged tonight on identifying the man who ten days ago purchased the revolver with which the convicts battled their way through the corridors and outside the prison walls. All day a board of inquiry has been sitting at the prison and tonight had examined every trusty of the penitentiary. Barney Resnick, a McAlester pawn-broker from whom the gun was purchased, peered into the faces of every trusty and declared it was not he who purchased the revolver. The board early exonerated the prison management from blame. "It was a sorrowful affair that might have happened in any penitentiary," said Paul Jones, McAlester member of the board. The board is composed of Jones, Dr. A. K. West of Oklahoma City, chairman, A. V. Skelton of Okemah. While the board in its investigation today made little progress other than learning where and when the revolver was purchased they heard many stories of bravery and loyalty of other convicts who took no part in the mutiny but aided the officers. Charles Jaggers, sentenced for life, was one of the heroes of the fight. Although he pleaded to be allowed to fight with the officers he was not permitted to be armed but he aided the officers in other ways. Jaggers was returning from the city with Mont Grady, a guard, and as they reached the prison gate the fight began. "Charlie," said Grady, "if there is any manhood in you, now is the time to show it." "I'm with you," Jaggers answered, "give me a gun." It is against prison rules for a convict to be armed so his request was denied. He, however, took up a position, periously within the range of the firing and by shouting to the officers kept them posted as to the progress of the convicts. Gus Groom, a negro, also serving a life term, is believed to have been the man who wounded Convict Lane before he reached the buggy. When Pet Oats fell, mortally wounded. Groom braving the rapid firing of the convicts, rushed to his side. Stooping over his body he picked up the shotgun Oats had not had time to use and fired it at the convicts. Lane staggered against the wall cursing him. Frank Halkey, an Indian convict, saw Judge Thomas killed. Thomas was Haikey's attorney and had come to the penitentiary to confer with his client. As the convicts entered Thomas rose from his chair, Haiked said, with his hands above his head. He was gruffly ordered to sit down; he had no more than compiled than Reed shot him. William Richardson, négro serving seyen years from Muskogee county, begged for a chance to give the convicts battle when he saw Pat Oats fell. He climbed to a window of one SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1914 Pat if I could have got a gun," he said today in telling his tory. Prison guards today declared that the convicts almost to a man sympathized with the officers. "Take dead aim and kill them," many prisoners shouted to the guards as the battle raged. It was L. C. Morton, a convict telephone operator, who gave the first alarm of the mutiny to the outside world. Morton restored the connections of the switchboard which the convicts had destroyed and telephoned to McAlester for aid. He then called the prison lake and there B. D. Starr another convict hurriedly notified Ritchie the guard who killed the three fuitives. That the three convicts stopped in their wild flight to rob their victims was the story tild here today. F. C. Godfrey, day sergeant, was robbed on his watch and $2.10. The money had been given him by his wife a few hours before that he might pay his dues to the Yeomen's order. The payment was due and the insurance Godfrey carried will be lost to his relatives. Miss Kate Barnard, commissioned of charities and corrections, arrived here this noon. She went immediately to the penitentiary.

Elliott, of Muskogee has issued a call for the State League to meet in Tulsa Feb. 26 for the purpose of making further preparations for the meeting of the National League at Muskogee in August. This meeting is expected to be the biggest State meeting ever held by the organization. The executive board will meet here Wednesday Feb. 25 and lay out the work to be taken up by the State League. Mr. Elliott says he expects this years meeting of the National League to be the biggest and greatest in the history of the organization.

The white commercial club met in December and passed on the proposition of this city raising $5,000 of the required amount as a bonus, and readily agreed to accept the terms. Accordingly a committee was appointed to receive the money. Nearly $3,000 of the amount has been pledged already by the business men of this city. FAIRCHILD RELEASED Negro Lawyer Defeats An Attempt to Return His Client to Arkansas Gov. Cruce refused last Friday to honor the requisition issued by the governor of Arkansas for the return of G. W. Fairchild of this etiy to Arkansas on a charge of grand larceny. Fairchilds was arrested Jan. 9th and was held in jail here pending a hearing of his case before Gov. Cruce. Lawyer H. A. Guess was employed in the case and stubbornly fought the requisition of his client. The state of Arkansas was ably represented by attorneys who put forth their best efforts to return the Negro to Arkansas, but lawyer Guess succeeded in convincing the governor that it was Hon. H. A Guess a plot to get the man back in Arkansas to compel him to pay a debt and that there was no ground for the lar- ceny charge. The case of Fairchilds was one of considerable interest to his friends and relations of this city and all of them rejoice with him in his release, which was ordered by the governor after a full and complete hearing of the case. The successful conducting of this case by lawyer Guess is another feather in his hat, and brands him as thoroughly competent and efficient in his profession. Mr. Guess is a graduate of the Howard University. READ THE TULSA STAR FOR Child Burned to Death and Three Homes Destroyed 1. 下列说法正确的是（ ） Kansas Man Takes Wife Kansas Man Takes Wife Rev. Stradford Of Independence Tries Wedded Bliss Independence, Kan., Jan. 19, 1914. A very brilliant affair indeed was the marriage ceremony of Rev. B. M. Stradford to Mrs. Anna Wright, both of this city, last Thursday evening, January 15. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride, a beautiful six-room cottage where the happy couple will be found "at home" to friends in the future. Mr. Stradford is a progressive citizen of Independence, a minister of the gospel, a polished gentleman and a scholar of no mean ability. The bride is also an accomplished woman who stands very high in society and is a favorite with all who know her. She is, of course, all absorbed in her husband, whom she thinks is absolutely the best man on earth. Rev. Stradford is a staunch race man, who believes in promoting and fostering all worthy race enterprises. In keeping with this principal of his he has subscribed for $30 worth of stock in the Oklahoma Realty and Investment Co., a colored corporation of Tulsa, Okla., of which his brother J. B. Stradford is president. About twenty guests were present at the nuptial ceremonies and all seemed to partake of the jay and happiness of the bride and groom. The outoftown guests were Mrs. Joanna Craig, Chicago, sister of the groom, Mrs. S. G. Tool, Kansas City, Kan., niece, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Stradford, Tulsa, Okla, brother and sister-in-law. City Commissioner Fowler, a fast friend of the groom, was an invited guest. The Wedding Party took dinner with Mrs. J. H. Montgomery, Sunday Night Speaking of the wedding of his brother, J. B. Stradford, of this city, upon his return Monday, said: "It was a happy affair indeed. My brother made a good choice and my new sister-in-law is very happy. It is no fleeting fancy of the hour with them. They are both settled in mind and both are conscious of the mutual obligations binding upon them. Independence is a nice place and I found a very thrifty class of colored people there, many of them owning their own homes and having bank accounts, some as much as $6,000. We have some very astute business men and women there. Probably the foremost among these is Mrs. Eliza Lancaster. I have not forgotten the Oklahoma Realty and Investment Co., while away. I succeeded in selling $30.00 worth of stock to my brother and appointed him agent for the company in Kansas. Cornersa. "That chauffeur was a great Alsap pointuent." "I thought he would be." "But you gave him a letter of recommendation." "Of course. And I advise you to do About 12:30 o'clock on last Wednesday night three houses on North Frankfort were practically destroyed by fire. The houses were the homes Mrs. Lulu May Barnett. At this hour and the manufacturing establishment of C. Dearman, owner of the Hottentot remedies. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been from a detective gas stove in the home of Mrs. Lulu May Young. At the hour of the night the families were in deep slumber and were indeed in wild excitement and confusion when awakened by the bright light of the blaze, so that little else could be done but to try and save the lives of the inmates. Mrs. Morrison thus describes the scene: "I was awake and saw reflected from the mirror the light, and waking my husband, told him the house was on fire. I began at once to put on my wearing apparel and just had time to get out before the whole house was ablaze. It was impossible for me to save anything. We lost every stitch of our clothing and household goods, besides some laundry for white people." The saddest part of this disaster was the burning to death of the four-year-old child of Mrs. Lulu Barnett. When she discovered the fire her first thought was to save her children. She grabbed them, took them outside and told them to stand still until she wont back into the house to get some things. The younger child, Dora, not realizing the danger, followed her mother back into the burning building, and her mother, unconscious of the child's return, thought her safe until she asked the older child where her younger sister was, and was told that she had gone back in the house after her. It was then too late to save the child as the house was all afire and only the pitiful cries of the child told the mother and spectators the awful agony it was then undergoing. The body, burned to a crisp was recovered and sent to the under-taking rooms. Of course the mother is prostrate, and has the sympathy of the entire community. The Hottento Remedy company lost heavily and the building is almost a total destruction. Mr. Dearman, the owner, will likely rebuild and resume his business. This terrible holocaust reminds us to observe that the fire protection for the district in the east and north end is poor indeed. The water mains are far apart and a fire plug sets at three or four blocks from each other. The fire department has a long and tedious run to make the district and the buildings, being mostly frame, are exposed to the mercy of the fire fiend when he visits this district. The property owners should petition the city authorities for better service, as they are compelled to pay taxes to support the fire department and are entitled to first class protection. Then, too, the builders of houses should construct their buildings with more precautionary care. The care for the safety of human life, with risks reduced to a minimum, should be their chief study in building their houses.

DIZZY, HEADACHY, SICK, "CASCARETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, billiousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv. Sizing It Up. "Hiram," said the wife of a countryman who had moved to the city, "I'll just bet the best cow we ever had that you've done went and forgot to bring a roast for dinner!" "Hardly," mumbled Hiram, as he placed an armful of packages on the kitchen table. "In fact, I bought seven cents' worth of roast." "Seven cents' worth! Hiram, be your mind fallin' ye?" "But I had to pay fifty cents for it," smiled Hiram. TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS Bays Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid Which Clogs the Kidneys and Irritates the Bladder. Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders. You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications. A well-known local druggist says he tells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.—Ady. And There You Have It.

When young birds are brought in from the range we often find ourselves in need of more house room to winter the increased flock. There are several ways in which the summer colony coops may be made to piece out the winter houses. If there is but one it may be placed close to the main house and used as an extra scratching and exercising room. The fowls may then pass from the main room to the addition by means of a tube constructed of boards and set into the opening about 10 by 20 inches in size, cut near the floor of each building. A dry goods box with top and bottom removed will answer nicely as a connecting passageway. Some people fit up the summer colony coops as laying rooms, arranging all nests in them and thus leaving the whole space in the main building for use of the hens in the daytime. Still others use the coops as dusting rooms. Especially do the early brooder houses answer nicely for this, as there is usually plenty of sunlight. The dust may be kept moist and free from trash and so does not get into the food and water vessels, as it often does when nesting and feeding must be done in the same room. Sometimes two or three of these coops are used together for a small flock, one being used for a roosting room, one for a nest room and exercise. In each case they are joined by a wooden tube or passageway. Some make their summer colony coops of knockdown sections so arranged that some five or six of them may be set up together in one continuous shed for sheltering the birds in winter. Such a pen must either be banked with straw or covered with paper for the winter to make it windproof. By the time the young birds are ready for the colony houses another year the old ones are having free run of the farm. DRINKING PAN AND GRIT BOX Vessel Is Elevated to Prevent Litter Being Scratched Into It—Contrivance Is Easily Made. The accompanying illustration of a combination drinking pan and grit box appeared in a recent issue of Successful Farming. The idea of elevating the drinking pan is to keep the water clean and prevent litter being scratched into it. The birds soon learn to fly upon the perch in front of the pan, to get the clear water. The pan itself is made about three inches deep, so that when the water becomes frozen it can be easily dumped out.

The frame on which the pan rest. is made to fit over the side of the hopper, the cross slats being firm on the top of the hopper.

PROFITABLE TO GRADE EGGS Better Prices Are Always Secured When Eggs Are Sorted According to Size and Color. Even buyers at the country store will appreciate your efforts if you will sort your eggs according to size and color. Graded eggs show up a great deal better than those that are piled in promiscuously, and should—and will—command a better price if the dealer's attention is called to the fact. There are few, even of country stores, that would not be able to command a higher price for uniform, clean, fresh eggs, attractively picked, and one that produces that kind the year round can secure an advance in the market price. Large shippers will jump at the chance to secure eggs of this class, and are always ready to pay a higher price. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR In His Home No Other Remedy So Effective for Colds as Peruna.

Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF 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. The one subject on the mind of everyone these days is the high cost of living, and that leads us to remark that there are singular ideas current on the subject of the cost of home building. It is not strange that this should be so. For the bizarre and the eccentric invariably attract attention that the orderly and the sedate may not receive. Perhaps the most singular of all notions with regard to the cost of house, is that a beautiful home can be acquired at the most moderate conceivable cost, if one did but know how to do it. Doubless we would all get rich if we could; and while the crop of millionaires has been abundant in America in recent years, none will dispute the fact that there are a few left who do not come in this category, and therefore the mere knowing how to do a thing is not nearly so important as actually doing it. The clamor for small homes of moderate cost, yet equipped with every modern attraction and convenience, will not down. It is a delusion quite as widespread as the former notion that the earth was flat, and it is quite as difficult to get rid of. Very few people can actually point to such dwellings as really in existence, but immense numbers will tell you positively that the thing can be done. The trouble with the small, cheap, but very attractive house proposition is the fact that the conditions under which houses are built are not understood or appreciated. The actual cost of building by no means represents the total expenditure that will be required in any building enterprise. There are a great many essential matters that enter into the cost of a dwelling that do not enter into the architect's 273X STOOP ENTRY PANTRY 3'6" x 5'0" KITCHEN 13'-6" x 12'-6" BATH RYT 3'0" x 4'9" CLAS LIVING ROOM 14'-6" x 12'0" CHAMBER 9'-6" x 12'0" PORCH First Floor Plan. charges. There is the land, for the first thing, the bare price of which may be a considerable item, while the cost of beautifying it may be considerable. The cost of furnishing also must be taken into consideration. All these items, and more, make the cost higher than the figures given by the architect. It is no wonder, therefore, that the handsome small house, the good-looking little house, the attractive small dwelling, is a rare and quite unknown quantity when the lowest possible cost is placed upon it. One does not need costly embellishment strung, as it were, around the house to beautify it and adorn it. This EAGLE LOAN CO. CORNER FIRST AND BOSTON We Make Loans on Anything of Value.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year $1.00 Six Month 60 Three Month 35 There is just one wise course for the colored voters of Oklahoma to pursue. Have you commenced your spring renovation? Now is a good time to begin. The most valuable man to any community is the man who is really doing most for the community. It is certainly a pitiful sight to see an old delapidated back number trying to hold a place in the front ranks. Its a heard proposition to make an honest man out of a confirmed crook and grafter, who has had world-wide experience in the game. Why don't the churches of Tulsa inaugureate a go-to-church day, and make the occasion a great spiritual and moral benediction to all? We believe such a movement with the right kind of incentive, backed up by the ministers and church members will be productive of great good and large results. Let the ministers speak out. Shall we have a go-to-church day or not? In the jail delivery at the state prison this week three convicts and four pursuers were slain, and three others injured. Through a ruse three convicts gained entrance to the front office, and having obtained in some way a revolver, demanded the keys from the turnkey, who grappled with them to gain time, the turnkey was wounded in the struggl, and obtaining the keys they took to flight, but were pursued with the result as stated. The Negro race is a great race. It has made phenomenal progress in the past forty years. It is still making progress. But are you satisfied with your past and present successes? Is our condition so perfect that no improvement is needed or possible Do the rising young Negroes enmasse come up fully to your hopes, and will they be able to meet the exigencies of the coming years sufficiently to hold the ground already obtained by their forefathers? Who will answer? Every colored home should have one or more colored newspapers in it. Through such papers only will you get the bright side of Negro life, hope and inpiration. The white man's paper will not sing your virtues and noble deeds. Hence it is wisdom's way for every negro to subscribe for a paper published for and by Negroes. Now is the time for n groes to act wise and get together along racial lines. Dear reader will you help along race lines? —Saturday Evening Tribune. Well said, Brother Russell. The editor spent a day or two at Okmulgee this week and was delightfully surprised to find the colored people there of such progressive and thrifty spirit. Okmulgee is without doubt a cloak rival of Tulsa as a growing oil center and in many ways holds advantage of our city so far as the colored side of the question is concerned. There is considerable building going on there. Brick business buildings, hotel and dwelling houses are going up daily and by the way, most of them belong to colored men. The colored school there, presided over by Prof. Hart, is a credit to the town and a pride of the citizens there. Okmulgee indeed seems to be the cream city—except Tulsa, of the state. The lamentable fire of last Wednesday night should serve as a timely warning to all citizens. First, all families should see to in that their gas stoves and burners, the pipe connections and fixtures are kept in the best condition. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, is a maxim worth observing. All inflamable material should be kept far away from fire. Carelessness is more times the cause of fires than anything else. The wonder is that Tulsa has escaped with so few fires, when we think of the absolute careless and indifferent uses made of gas and gasoline. When you build see to it that your house is fire proof as far as your means will allow. Unless this precaution is heeded the citizens will wake up one of these morning to find a widespread devastation by fire. Take our advice in time. Now comes the depressing news from the city where it was supposed that the Negro enjoyed the highest privileges of civic liberty and protection—Chicago—that he has been or is to be Jim-Crowed at a popular burying ground, Oakwood Cemetery. The president of the cemetery in a letter to Dr. Jones (white) pastor of All Souls' Church, who is also head of Lincoln Center, a charitable organization, says: "Chapel, vaults and crematorium are for the exclusive use of people of the Caucasian race." In a scorching reply to the president, we clip this paragraph from Dr. Jones' letter: "Heaven save the mark! Can class prejudice and racial deceit go farther? Pray, how deep underground does the color line reach? Is it to be presumed that St. Peter has also provided for the convenience of the 'Caucasians' a rear gate entrance into Kingdom Come for the benefit of colored people?" Hon. Corvine Patterson, one of the most prominent Negroes of Kansas, a pioneer and pathfinder of the early history of that state, and particularly so of Kansas City, Kan., committed suicide by a pistol shot on the 10th inst. The cause of this rash act is said to be due from preying over the untinely death of his favorite son, which occured a year ago, and who was thought by many to have been murdered. Mr. Patterson was a man noted for his courtesy and kindness and the loyal and faithful service he gave in behalf of his race. He was a successful politician and held a position. commissioner and a member of the board of education. He was also for many years a trustee of Western University at Quindaro, and instrumental in founding that institution. Mr. Patterson was a strong personality, a church man of strong tendencies, and a lodge man of popular standing. His loss is a severe blow to the community in which he lived, and "Pat" will be a missing link that can never be replaced. His funeral obsequies were attended by 4000 friends and admirers, the ceremonies most impressive and lasting over five hours.

The Peoples Theatre under the supervision of Mrs Rogers is bidding well to overcome the ill fated reputation of staging. indecent Vaudeville acts and songs for which it has been criticized recently. Mrs Rogers is bitterly opposed to anything suggestive or indecent and says she will positively not allow it in the future. She said she fixed a female character last week for staging an indecent song or act, which she said would not have happened had she known of it in told that such vaudeville was common everywhere. However, she wants it distinctly understood that she will be misgessed of the situation and not allow the staging of anything dangerous to public morals CLUB NOTES The Tulsa East Side Culture Club met last Thursday afternoon at o'clock with Mrs. Beaulah Netherland as hostess, and Mrs. M.

The business' session was held Monday night, conducted by the D. S. The reports of the class leaders showed a decided growth financially, and that the church was in better condition than ever before, with improvements along all lines. The D. S. said Wesley was in the lead. Tuesday night a reception to all the ministers was given by Rev. T. J. Jones, at his church in honor of the D. S. A grand time was had. The topic for discussion was: "How to Better Interest the Public in Church Work." Rev. Woods was the first speaker, and showed many interesting points. Rev. H. G. Griffin followed and spoke without fear or favor as to how it should be done. Rev. Dearman was the light-house for the honored guests. His address was grand. The D. S. closed the subject with many striking points. He said among other things that if Christians would stop getting in the sinners' way and be more loyal to the Lord and church the public could be more easily won over to the cause of Christ. The reception was well attended, and highly enjoyed by all. Rev. Mr. Prown could not be present, but sent his regrets, which were accepted.

Christ Had Negro Blood In this day and time, much is being said and done by the learned, the unlearned, the teacher, the professor and the statesman, trying to impress the world with the fact that the Negro isn't anything, never has been anything and never can be anything. That there never was anything on note connected with his history. They are even going so far as to deny his being fit to associate with other races. They speak of him as though he has always been dishonest in the estimation of man and in the estimation of God, yet the Negro has been one of the most honored of all races, if we are to believe the Bible. Shem was the progenitor of the partiarchs, prophets and the Jews and also of Christ, and on these accounts, the renown of the house of Shem has been great in all the earth. Into this renowned family, black women were taken as wives. Abraham, the father of the Jews, married the first one Gen. 25-1. Moses, the great Hebrew legislator and law giver, married an Ethiopian woman, 12:1-1. Judah, Simon and Joseph, the sons of Jacob, married black women also, Gen. 4:10. First Chronicle, 2:1-4. Gen. 4:10. This brings us to the thought that the black and white people have always intermixed. I speak of this, no because I favor the intermixing, but to show that it is not an unheathing. There is so much being said in an effort to keep the races apart in churches and restaurants, hotel and on trains and everywhere. Some would like to separate heaven and hell if it were possible and some would go so far as to say that we will go to neither place, as we have no south. The scripture has little to say about the color of people in that day, merely speaking of them as being of a certain country, or as the child of a certain man. The hypocrisy of the American people is very obnoxious to other nations on the color line. If the visitors to this country will open his eyes, he may see at least twelve millions of people, who are neither black nor white, all called Negroes. Who is responsible for this? Our white brothers. Two of the apostles were Negroes. The names of these two black men, who taught and preached with the apostles, were Barnabus and Simon, Acts 13-1. Now we will see that Christ had Negro blood in his veins. Now the scriptures teach us that Christ was to come and did come from the tribe of Judah, see Gen. 49-10, Heb. 7-14, Rev. 5-5. This man Judah was the fourth son of Jacob, who was the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Judah had only five children, and they were males, 1st Co. 2-4, three by his first wife and two by his second, 1st Chr. 2-24, and both his wives were YES! YES! YES!

They were descendants of Canan, a black man in Canaan was the son of Ham, Canaan 10-6. Tomar, Judah's second wife, bore his two sons, whose names were Phares and Zurah, 1st Chr. 2-4. The names of Phares appears in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, see Matthew 1st chapter, third verse. So the reader can plainly see that Judah of whom Christ was to come, starts off, by presenting to the world a child by a Canaanite woman, who was Hamite descendant. So after stating that Judah had no other children except those by Hamites, (1st Chr. 2, 3, 4.) I will endeavor to say without fear of successful contradiction that the statement I made, declaring that Christ had Negro blood in his veins is true. There is much more that I could say to further prove my statements. I get just a little bit tired of hearing so much said and seeing so much written by so-called Christians about the Negro being unfit to ride a walk or eat or drink with the white-skinned races. A man's color does not make the man. Christ is no less a Saylor because of the fact that I comes from the tribe of Judah and has Negro blood in his veins. Just as he was scorned in his day, so was in our day. Just as he is being honored and loved today, so will we con into our own in a future day. Cheif Sam Go Wires Crossed The American dispenses some very appropriate satire, mostly gospel truth, on the erstwhile "prince, doctor, chief and Slick Sam," in its last issue, as follows: "The followers of Chief Bogus Sam say he is a smart man. He is. Sam is smart enough to get the money and never go to Africa. He is not smart in geography, however. Geography is not a necessity to hire of coin lifting. In his speeches, Chief Bogus Sam says: "The Gold Coast wheat fields are watered by the Nile river." Now, it just happens that the Nile river flows through the extreme eastern part of Africa, and the Gold Coast is on the extreme western coast of Africa. The only ways for Nile river water to reach the Gold Coast is to fetch it in buckets, or form rain clouds to carry it all across Africa and drop it there. When Sam's followers reach Africa and start before breakfast to go down to the Nile river for a bucket of water, they will merely have a walk or about 7000 miles, and will be "mospowful hongry" when they get back Alsa, they do not raise enough wheat in the Gold Coast country to feed a pigeon. Sam's Oklahoma dupes will find the biggest crop raised by them will be African fever, coffins, and tombstones. The American hope they may all get what the Gold Coast has in store for them." 212 E. 2nd. Street. The Americanl Nationa Bank TULSA. OKLA. STAR Some Good Resolutions I am resolved that during the year 1914; I will try to get my rightful share of good, fresh air all the time. I will be careful and temperate in my habits and take some exercise in the open air every day. I will not indulge in needless worry or fret and stew over matters that I cannot control or help. I will not abuse nature but do my best to co-operate with it in keeping myself well and strong. I will try to the best of my ability to scatter the germs of health knowledge rather than the germs of disease. I will try to be kind, courteous and good natured in order that I may have mental peace and a good digestion all the time. I will be alert, interested and active in doing all I can to care for my own health, that of my family and of the community in which I live. I will do my best to give my neighbor's children the same protection from disease an ddanger of every kind that I would demand that he give to mine. I will keep my own premises clean and tidy and if possible have a cleaner or back yard and a more attractive lawn than any other man in my row. I will practice, promote and encourage community cleanliness to the end that my community shall be a better place to live in this year than it was last. I will join heartily with my neighbors in doing things that will promote an deencourage civic progress and thus help to make Tulsa the best and most desirable city in the world to live in. I will not prescribe for the ills and allments of my friends, but leave that to their doctors, who are authorized by law to treat the sick and who now more about such matters than I do. I will seek always to take a clear and hopeful vision of life and its responsibilities as affecting my duties as a good citizen and to keep myself both body and mind in such condition that I may do the best work for my own good and that of the community wherein I live. Recognizing that to live right is a creed to which all humanity should subscribe, I will use all the intelligence I have to practice right living to the end that I may enjoy a sane, happy and healthful existence and in this way help others to conserve their physical health and vigor. I will try to train an deducate my children that when they are grown up they will be, from both the moral and physical standpoint, better men and women than their parents are. If I fail in this I realize that I shall not be doing my rightful share towards helping in the onward and upward progress of the race. The Americanl C. P. ALEXANDER, Vice President. R. T.

McKeever, DENTIST ALL WORK GUARANTEED TO National Press Assn Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 12. Declaring their loyalty to the flag and the constitution of the U. S. and setting forth plans for the motal uplift of their people, the National Press Association has taken definite action in outlining work for the betterment of the Negroes throughout the United States, which will be furthered at the mid-winter session which has been called to meet at Nashville Friday and Saturday, February 13 and 14. Through this movement they have been able to inaugurate many reforms and to help the sands of their race. It is the plan to get at the true condition of the Negroes of the United States, and to report and expel all crime. To assist in this, the have asked all city, county and state officials to cooperate with them by recognizing their office card and their metal membership badge when shown to office. Long steps towards the alleviation of many embarrassing conditions are already made. In making this call for a mid-winter session they have issued an address to the country. The address, brief by explicit, was authorized by the national body, which convened in Philadelphia last August. It says "In this fiftieth year since Lincoln's famous emancipation proclamation, the National Negro Press Association enunciates the following platform of principle for the guidance of the Negro people and the good of the American nation. 1. We believe with the founders of this government that there are INALIENABLE RIGHTS which are the natural dower of every human being born into the world—that the permanent welfare of the nation and of civilization is best advanced by their rights remaining the property of the legitimate owners. "Civilization makes every man his brother's keeper (protector) but no man his brother's owner. Whenever the accident of race, nationality, position, power, color or other physical condition enables one individual, race or nation to ignore or usurp the inalienable rights of another individual, race or nation, the equilibrium of civilization is disturbed and the progress of humanity interrupted. JUSTICE can only come to man when man is JUST. LIBERTY IS FOR ALL OR FOR NONE. "2. The fate of America and the Negro are inextricably bound together. The Negro has nowhere else to go. "We call upon our people to use all their powers to meet the ideals of civilization and the obligations of American citizenship. READ THE TULSA STAR FOR THE TULSA NEWS Heart of TULSA National Bank J.

Class Meeting Thursday GREAT CHANGE IN TWENTY YEARS Shaw Lady Looks Younger Instead of Older with Lapse of Time. Shaw, Miss.—Mrs. V. N. Smith, of this city, makes an interesting statement of her experiences, as follows: "Twenty-nine years ago, I contracted a serious form of womanly trouble. We called in our family physician, and he treated me for it, but it seemed to do no good. It went on into other bad troubles, and I commenced taking all kinds of medicines to see if I could get relief, but to no avail. I suffered with that trouble up until eleven years ago, when I read about Cardul, the woman's tonic, and bought a full treatment. It relieved me at once, and after taking the full treatment, I am now well and stout. I sent my brother, whom I had not seen in twenty years, one of my photographs, and he wrote me that I looked younger than when he last saw me." For more than 50 years, Cardul has been relieving women's sufferings, and building weak women up to health and strength. No other tonic gives the same results as Cardul. No other woman's medicine has the long record of success in treating cases of womanly weakness and disease. Cardul will surely help you. Try it. N.

IF HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, USE SAGE TEA Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for darn't dry, itchy scaly and falling hair. A well-known druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv. Some men are proud of the fact that they have insomnia because they imagine it indicates excessive brain work. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "How many people in Atlanta," asks the Constitution of that city, "know to a certainty that their domestic servants do not come from diseased homes?" And in the discussion it puts forth these pertinent truths: "The business of safeguarding the health of the community, in its negro as well as its white sections, is that of self-preservation and not sentiment or philanthropy. The disease germ is the original democrat. It ignores the boundary line of race, of wealth and of station, as well as of mere geography. It knows no prejudices, inherited or acquired. It is murderously impartial in its depredations. You may not believe you are 'your brother's keeper,' and you may be a trifle cynical about your 'duty,' to the negro. But you can hardly be negligent about your duty to your own child, and your own health personally, and keep a clean conscience." The Post for years has been stressing the importance of this very question for all southern cities. It has repeatedly urged upon the people of Houston that they cannot afford, even from the sellish point of view, to ignore the living conditions of the negro population. The negroes are the domestic servants of the servant-employing class of the southern cities. The negroes are a part of the life of the south, and will always be, and even if the white who employ them are not concerned in philanthropy at all, they owe it to themselves to have a deep concern for everything affecting the health and morals of the negro people. The nobler part is, of course, to realize in a broad and sympathetic sense our obligation to aid the negroes to better standards of living, because they are in so many respects dependent upon the whites and because they so implicitly rely upon the whites. It will be to our everlasting honor and glory if history shall be able to say of us that we accepted the problems the war left us, and worked them out kindly, intelligently, and well, but if we are concerned only for our own welfare, then it will be secondary philanthropy for us to see that living conditions among the negroes are such that they will not menace the health and prosperity of the white people. Negroes living amid insanitary conditions in southern cities are going to suffer the hardships of poverty and disease, they are going to suffer contamination and destruction in a moral sense, they are going to be a heavily consuming and inefficient element of populaton. But the whites will not be able to escape the consequences. They will have to bear the economic losses that a large and inefficient mass is certain to inflict, they will be victimized by the diseases that spread death and disaster among poorly housed and miserably environed human beings, and they will not escape the deadly blight of the immorality and vice that thrive among the ignorant, the desperate and the neglected poor. The vital statistics of every southern city reveal the inevitable consequence of inefficiency to conditions among the negroes—the servant class that brings into well-kept homes the deadly germs that multiply amid the miserable conditions that afflict the negro sections of so many southern cities.—Houston (Tex.) Post. Golf enthusiasts in Massachusetts yearly spend about $800,000 on the game. The 300 striking nego students of Shaw university at Raleigh, N. C., forwarded a memorial to the trustees of the institution in New York asking that Dr. Charles Meserve, president of the institution, be removed and a negro he put in his place. President Meserve, backed by southern white members of the faculty, issued an ultimatum ordering all rebellious students to resume their places at once, under penalty of expulsion. During the holiday a student married, against the college rules, and was dismissed. The boys asked to be heard through a committee. Dr. Meserve refused to receive the committee, but agreed to hear any individual. The strike resulted.

STAR For the first time since 1905, a colored boy is among the senior officers at Harvard. Alexander Louis Jackson of Englewood, N. J., was chosen class orator at the 1914 election a few days ago, and will write and deliver the cration, which is one of the principal parts of the exercises in Sanders theater on the morning of class day. Jackson has been a member of the varsity track teams for two seasons. He is one of the best hurdlers now in the eastern colleges, particularly good over the high hurdles, but fast in both events, and has won many points for the Crimson teams in various meets. He has not been particularly prominent in other ways during his college course. He has won good grades, though he is not in the honor class. At Andover he won several prizes in public speaking, but at Harvard he has been so much occupied with other affairs that he has not tried for the prizes in speaking, though he has taken some of the courses offered. He is preparing for a teaching position in some one of the negro schools of the south. It is not the first time that a negro has been honored by election to such office at Harvard. The last time was with the class of 1905, when William Clarence Matthews, a clever baseball player, was chosen a member of the class day committee. In the years before that, the election of negro orators was quite frequent with the college classes. William H. Lewis, who has since served as assistant attorney general of the United States, was a commencement speaker on his graduation from the law school in 1895. He was not a graduate of Harvard college, but had his college education at Amherst, where he was graduated in 1892. There are in the southern states 9,000,000 negroes, writes Booker T. Washington. There are 3,000,000 negro children of school age. Fifty-three percent, or more than half, never go to school. Many of these negro children, particularly in the country district, are in school only from three to four months in the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a matter of justice and fair play, these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant negroes to jails and penitentiaries, putting them in the chain gang, hanging and lynching them does not civilize, but on the contrary, though it brutalizes the negro, it at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man. I want the white people to see that it is unfair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the farm as a white man who has been in school eight or nine months in the year; that it is unjust to let the negro remain ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whisky and cocaine, and then expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to know the law and be able to exercise that degree of self-control which shall enable him to keep it. I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment for crime, no color line should be drawn in the preparation of life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. The men who don't go to jail are either too good, or too rich. So far as theouth is concerned the problem is in process of wholesome an certain solution. The future of the negro has never seemed so promisting and bright. As a laborer, citizen and a man the negro, under this bright and beneficent policy, has advanced and is advancing day by day. There are no greater people in the history of nations than the people of the south. And in view of the history of the Civil war and of the reconstruction period that followed, the southern people have never been greater and wiser than in their present splendid attitude toward their former slaves.

Dick Woods, fight manager in the palmy days of Chicago sports, now a business man, told a good one while on his way home from the McFarland-Britton fight in Milwaukee. "A few years ago an old-time trainer came to me and whispered confidentially that he had a coming champion in the middleweight class," related Woods. "He said he could not be beat. "Watch him fight Cyclone Johnny Thompson next week,' he told me. 'He'll wipe him off the man.' "The fight came off—it was scheduled for six rounds—and the 'hope' was licked in the second round. "I didn't want to rub it in, but I asked the trainer about the affair the next time I saw him. "Oh, my man's all right,' was his breezy explanation, 'only he can't get started in the short battles. He is a twenty-round fighter and the scrap with Thompson was too short." Not His Concern. Wife (studying vocalism)—"I wish, dear, you'd have double windows put on.

Many pale, slickly persons wonder for years why they have to suffer so, and eventually discover that the drug—caféine—in coffee is the main cause of the trouble. "I was always very fond of coffee and drank it every day. I never had much flesh and often wondered why I was always so pale, thin and weak. "About five years ago, my health completely broke down and I was confined to my bed. My stomach was in such condition that I could hardly take sufficient nourishment to sustain life. "During this time I was drinking coffee, didn't think I could do without it. "After awhile I came to the conclusion that coffee was hurting me, and decided to give it up and try Postum. When it was made right—dark and rich—I soon became very fond of it. "In one week I began to feel better. I could eat more and sleep better.

GOOD ITALIAN PASTES WORTH COPYING BY HOUSEKEEP- ERS OF AMERICA. At Least One Dish May Well Be Served at Dinner—Many Methods of Cooking Macaroni—Tomato Sauce With Spaghetti. American housekeepers anxious to keep down the market bills have learned the advantages of serving at each dinner one dish containing some of the Italian pastes, which are low in price, nutritious and appetizing. The American way of cooking spaghetti is to combine it with American cheese chopped, butter and a little milk beaten with eggs. The spaghetti is first cooked until it is soft; then drained of the water, and the cheese, butter and eggs already mixed are beaten lightly into the hot paste. The mixture is then baked to a golden brown in the oven. A porcelain lined baking dish is best, though some prefer the old-fashioned yellow stone ware. Macaroni cooked and then simmered in a good meat broth until tender also mixes well with grated Gruyere cheese mixed in the baking dish in layers, finishing off the top with a thick layer of the cheese and some grated bread crumbs and butter. Another dish is made by adding this mixture to the already cooked macaroni. One onion, a little parsley and six anchovies chopped up together. Fry this in the pan with butter for about six minutes; then add it to the paste with half a glass of good white wine and an equal amount of fish broth. Sprinkle with paprika and grated Parmesan cheese. Here is a simple dish called tagilatte. Make a good paste with flour and eggs, roll out thin and cut in strips half an inch wide; parboll in salted water. Cut a slice of ham in squares; mince the same amount of carrots and celery and brown them in a pan with butter. Add strained tomatoes or tomato paste and a cupful of broth. Serve on a hot dish all together, the paste seasoned with grated cheese. The Italian method of serving spaghetti, which is most popular in this country, is in combination with tomato sauce. The Neapolitan sauce is made in many ways. A good and simple recipe calls for a quarter of an onion, half a stalk of celery, a few leaves of bay and a bunch of parsley. Cut these up fine together. Add a cup of olive oil, a pinch of salt and one of pepper, and eight tomatoes cut up without the skins. Boil this until the sauce is like a cream; then strain and pour over the spaghetti. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. The Italian cook prepares the potato with all the state of rarer vegetables, adding cinnamon, nutmeg, saffron and herbs of all kinds. In one recipe you are told to wash half a dozen potatoes; peel off a strip of the skin; put them in a saucepan and cover with water to boil. When they are mealy peel and mash them, put them in a saucepan; add an ounce of butter and a piece of fresh bread soaked in milk. Add two tablespoonfuls of milk, three eggs beaten to a froth, yolks and whites separately; salt, pepper and a little grated nutmeg. Mix well and put in a baking dish. Pour melted butter over; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and brown before serving. Spanish Pork Chops. Put two pounds of pork chops into a baking pan with a cupful of hot water. Place in a hot oven and bake one-half hour, basting often. Then take out, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with one pound of onions, sliced thin. Bake 15 minutes, then cover with one-half can of tomatoes and bake again for 20 minutes. Put meat and vegetables on heated platter, pour gravy around meat and serve at once. Florida Cornbread. Take one cup of cold boiled hominy, one scant cup of white cornmeal, one and one-half cups of milk, one egg, one tablespoonful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one rounding teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat hominy with fork until thoroughly broken, then gradually beat in the milk. Mix the salt and baking powder with the meal; add all to the hominy and milk; then add the egg well beaten and the butter melted. Pour the mixture into two buttered deep tin plates, bake in quick oven 20 minutes. Lvonnaise Tripe. One pound of cooked tripe cut into dice, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one of grated or chopped onion, one of vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Put the onion and butter in the frying pan, and when the onion turns yellow add the tripe and cook five minutes. Add seasoning and let boil up once. Serve on toast.

HELD REPROOF IN MEMORY Chiding to Child, That Seemed Unkind, Later Nerved Man to Deed of Heroism. Dr. Keate, the terrible head master of Eton, encountered one winter morning a small boy crying miserably, and asked him what was the matter. The child replied that he was cold, "Cold!" roared Keate. "You must put up with cold, sir! You are not at a girls' school." It is a horrid anecdote, and I am kind-hearted enough to wish that Dr. Keate, who was not without his genial moods, had taken the lad to some generous fire (presuming such a thing was to be found) and had warmed his frozen hands and feet. But it so chanced that in that little sniveling boy there lurked a spark of pride and a spark of fun, and both ignited at the rough touch of the master. He probably stopped crying, and he certainly remembered the sharp appeal to manhood; for fifteen years later, with the Third dragoons, he charged at the strongly intrenched Sikhs (30,000 of the best fighting men of the Khalsa) on the curving banks of the Sutlej. And as the word was given he turned to his superior officer, a fellow Stonian who was scanning the stout walls and the belching guns. "As old Keate would say, this is no girls' school," he chuckled, and rode to his death on the battlefield of Sobraan, which gave Lahore to England.—Agnes Repplier, in the Atlantic.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf. There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff.

Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowiton's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life, luster and luxuriance which is so beautiful.

Father O'Leary was off to catch the Dublin express. On the way to the station he ran into his bishop. "Well, what's the hurry, O'Leary?" said he. "Sure, it's the Dublin express I'm after, your lordship." The bishop pulled out his watch. "Well, there are seven minutes yet; let us walk together and both catch it." They arrived at the station just in time to see the train steaming out. "Do you know, I had the greatest faith in that watch, O'Leary," said the bishop.

Some twenty years ago he was elected a member of the chamber of deputies, and when the moment came for him to be confirmed in his seat he was unable to prove that he was born in France or was a naturalized citizen.
