One of the Underlying Principles of Human Justice is Civic Liberty and Fair Play! TULSA ENTERTAINS BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE. State League Holds Banner Session A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE Vol. 2, No. 19 One of the Un TULSA ENTE BUSINESS ME State League Hol The third annual session of the State Negro Business League was held Thursday in the auditorium of the Gem theatre, on Greenwood venue, with about 150 delegates present The meeting was called to order by Prof. J. W. Hughes of Tulsa. Prayer offered by Rev. J. F. Wersh. The welcome address was made by Freeman L. Martin; response by Dr. I. W. Young of Boley. The address of Prof. Hughes, "What the Tulsa Business Man is Doing," was interesting as well as full of information and facts which are not generally known by the people who do not study these matters which vitally concern us. Prof. Hughes has studied carefully the causes which impede the negro in business, and the attendance did not fail to appreciate the fine points of his argument. J. E. Thompson, founder of the negro town, Clearview, with G. W. F. Sawner, cotton buyer of Chandler, discussed the question of a doubt as to whether the negro as a business man is making the best of his opportunities in Oklahoma. Both speakers gave the audience interesting incidents of their long experience in the business circles in the state. Both these men are pioneer settlers in Oklahoma and have succeeded along lines of business where many have failed. An interesting feature on the program was the address of U. S. Department of Agriculture Demonstrator, Mr. Wilson, who spoke upon the business of farming, showing the advantages of demonstration methods along that line and how the government has aided the farmer through out the country. Mrs. Viola Matthews of Muskogee and Mrs. J. C. Horton of Guthrie discussed the topic, "Progress and Co-Operation of Women's Clubs in Oklahoma." The women of our state are doing a great work along social and business lines. Their work in conjunction with the Business Men's League has been surprising, and these women did not fail to impress these facts upon their audience. "Educational Co-Operation" was discussed by J. Tyler Smith of Muskogee. Mr. Smith is perhaps the youngest principal of a public school in the state, and a recent graduate of the Kansas State University. S. Douglass Russell responded to an address on "The Press and the Business League," in which he called attention to the fact that no institution of modern times had wielded such influence for good or evil as the press. "No man is so much needed, so much worked and so much used and so poorly appreciated as the editor of a newspaper," said he, "and wherever communities grow and show evidences of prosperity you will see the newspaper along in the line of the progress of that community or that people." The League held a night session in the Baptist church, which was well attended, after which a banquet was SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1914 served by the local League, under managemetn of Prof. Hughes. The annual address of President Elliot was a masterpiece and was well re- ceived. The President's Address in full fol- lows: Ladies and Gentlemen of the State Business Legue: It becomes my very pleasant duty at this time to address this, the third annual meeting of the Oklahoma State Business League. Just two short years ago this league was or organized at Okmulgee. At its first and second meetings there were only a very few present, but I want here to congratulate you for this most splendid audience. I look into the faces of lovely women which always inspire man to nobler action; I look into the faces of strong and sturdy, splendid men whose successes at home in the various lines of endearment reflect the possibilities of us as a race. Two short years ago this league was or organized, I think, with six local league; and we have here represented more than fifty local leagues. I want to say, right here, that the success of the State Business League is not or will it be measured by its large membership, but by the influence it will wield in turning the attention of members of our race to the opportunity that is right about us for industrial and business advancement; to invade the field, the almost hitherto unknown world, of industries and commerce; to turn the impossible into the possible; to awaken in the negro the new spirit of PROGRESS, as we have in the state of Oklahoma opportunities unparalleled in any other state in the union or any other place in the world, despite the prejudices and unfair laws; despite the discriminating influences that are about us. To the close observer, to the man who thinks, to the man or woman who is filled with the NEW SPIRIT there is optimism. There are in plain view around us every day opportunities which are sufficiently strong that if properly taken hold of and carefully handled may be foundations for fortune and fame. If through the influence of the Business League our men and women will be aroused and awakened, will be encouraged to take on responsibilities and master them, will be taught the danger of debts and the sacredness of credit, to stand high in the phalanx of producers, to have faith in themselves and the race, to prepare more for living rather than for dying; to know that a good bank account has a greater influence for good than the prospects, or a policy, for a fine burial; to love the race and God, to make money and do good with it, then our work as a Business League will have gone a long way in serving its purposes. The State League in its meetings from year to year and the local leagues in their meetings from time to time are undertaking to make these influences felt and to bring the encouragement to the masses by these beneficial discussions and experiences as made and told here today. We have gone further. We have by your advices invited to our state, and we have received the official acceptance of our invitation, that great body, or organization, of men and women of our race who think; men and women who have built magnificent fortunes and great fame; men and women who have "let down their buckets where they are," and have drawn them up overflowing with the "water of life." So it is my very great pleasure at this time as president of the State League to officially announce to you the coming to us as our guest, the guest of the State Business League, that organization, our parent body, the greatest body of successful negro business men and women, most successful tradesmen, farmers, laborers and successful professional men of our race ever assembled—The National Negro Business League. The fifteenth annual session of The National League will convene on or about the 18th, 19th and 20th of August this year as the guest of our state in the City of Muskogee. I believe this a signal triumph for the Oklahoma negro to be thusly honored. This affords us the splendid opportunity to have with us the leading men and women of our race; men whose works will forever live as monuments to their memory; noble men and women whose influence for good should be felt for generations to come. Hended and guided by that easter's mind and hand, that man of unditable courage and ability, the man who has taught the world that a man's salvation lies within the individual members of the race; that great teacher, that greatest of all leaders, living or dead, the world's greatest expenon of industrial education—Dr. Booker T. Washington. My Friendse le seems to me to be fitting and right that we Oklahomaans bestir ourselves as never before. The eyes of the world are centered on the Oklahoma negro. Will he make good? Will he make good! As I take it, this State League is in session today to sound the alarm. Men and women of our state, of every quarter of the land! Up to arms! you are wanted! Men and women of every walk of life, every organization, every church, every school, every community, every society, every farmer and everybody, singly and collectively, it becomes you; the call is to you to come to the work of the race and let Oklahoma shine as she has never shone. Let us prove to the outside world that Oklahoma is the best place on earth to live. By so doins we may attract many other good citizens to join forces with us here in our effort to develop the wonderful undeveloped resources in our state for verily do I believe from the depths of my heart that there are fortunes here for us all. How shall we care for and entertain the national organization? I believe the executive committee, which is composed of the most splendid men in and representing every part of our state, has worked out a plan of co-operation for the good of all. I will urge upon you to accept the plans they offer and every one of us go back to our homes and work increasingly to carry out the plans. If we do we will succeed. We cannot fail. The chairman of the executive committee will make known their plans and will further make such recommendations as in their judgment is best. I want to thank you warmly for the honor you have conferred on me by making me your president. I thank you from the depths of my heart for the confidence you have reposed in me. I cannot refrain from pledging to my successor my ever loyal support, because this great task that is before us will require and demand the hearty support and strong efforts of every true and patriotic man and woman of our race. I will turn the gavel over to my successor and will remain loyal to the cause. I want to thank the officers who have assisted us in our efforts and commend them for their spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty. I bespeak for any successor a continuance of your kindness and splendid loyalty. I want to thank the press of this state who have shown so much loyalty to us and so much interest in our work. I thank you, again and again. PEOPLE'S THEATRE. "The Wedding," a laughable afterpart at the People's theatre, drew a large attendance this week, and the production of Mme. Rajah was complimented by all who saw it. The work of Stearns and Perry still holds the boards and continues to draw large crowds. The S. R. O. was out three nights this week. Doctors Get Together. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Of the State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association Holds Its Meeting in This City. Dr. L. W. Young, president of the State Medical associated called to order the executive committee at 8:30 p. m. Wednesday, February 25, in the office of Dr. A. F. Bryant. The following members of the committee were present: Dr. L. W. Young, president; Dr. W. G. Foster, vice president; Dr. A. G. Wallace, vice president; Dr. J. E. Hart, treasurer; Dr. A. F. Dr. m. and Dr. W. B. Humphrey. The following local doctors were in attendance: Dr. Bridgewater, Dr. Key and Dr. McKeever. The committee transacted important business connected with the forthcoming meeting of the State Medical association, which will be held in this city the second Wednesday in May of this year. From the report made by the local physicians great things are to be expected at the meeting. The executive committee put in operation plans that bid fair to make the Tulsa meeting one of the greatest in the history of the association. The Gem theatre has been secured for the holding of the association. It behooves the citizens of this city to bestir themselves and give these distinguished gentlemen a royal reception. Government After Chief Sam · NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The movements of Alfred Charles Sam, self-styled chief of a tribe of negroes on the Gold Coast of Africa, it was learned today, have been brought to the attention of the federal and state authorities here by the British consul general, Sir Couroney Bennett. Sam recently purchased the ship Curityba, which now lies in port here with 40 Oklahoma negroes aboard who have been waiting for the vessel to weigh anchor for the Gold Coast shore where, according to Sam's promises to them, they would start a colony of their own—a colony of which wealth and equal opportunity would abound on 800 square miles of land. The consul was informed that unless a complaint was made by some one connected with the scheme, no action could be taken by the local authorities. He himself did not feel authorized to make a formal complaint beyond conveying to the authorities here the results of investigations he had made. It was said Sam had interested between 60 0and 700 negroes through out the country in the scheme. The agitation of the Business Men's League favoring race patronage of race institutions is a long step towards race advancement and a cornerstone for stronger organization, along many new lines.

MORE TROUBLE IN PORT AU PRINCE WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 -- While President Zamore, head of the Haytien army, has been more than triumphant through the north against Theodore's rebel forces and occupying the seat of the revolution, Cape Haytien, a spirit of unrest, has broken out in Port Au Prince, the capital. American Minister Smith and Consul Battiste have reported the situation to Captain R. L. Russell, commanding the battleship South Carolina, in the harbor at Port Au Prince, and all tough that officer informed officials here Sunday that quiet prevail: in the capital, it is considered likely that the battleship again will land a force. The consular agent at Jacmel reported fears that communication between Jacmel on the north coast and Port Au Prince will be interrupted, in which event he suggested a gunboat should be sent to the northern port. NEW GEM THEATRE. A new feature introduced by the New Gem theatre is a program of the evening entertainment. This feature was introduced last Wednesday evening and proved its value at once. The Gem continues to increase in patronage without in any way interfering with that of the Peoples theatre, and proving that there is room in Tu'sa for more than one show in the East End. They had scrambled through the first dance on the program and he was leading her back. "I could die dancing, couldn't you?" he asked. "No," she replied. "There are pleasanter ways than being trampled to death." Scientists claim that love is due to a microbe. Some of us are willing to go even farther, and say it's a bug. It is sometimes said of a man that he has outlived his usefulness when in reality he never had any. 400,000 Settlers a Year Immigration figures show that the population of Canada increased during 1913, by the addition of 400,000 new settlers from the United States and Europe. Most of these have gone on farms in provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Lord William Percy, an English Nobleman, says: "The possibilities and opportunities offered by the Canadian West are so infinitely greater than those which exist in England, that it seems absurd to think that people should be impeded from coming to the country where they can most easily and certainly improve their position. New districts are being opened up which will make accessable a great number of homesteads in districts especially adapted to mixed farming and grain raising.

Oklahoma Government Agent FRUIT LAXATIVE FOR SICK CHILD "California Syrup of Figs" can't harm tender stomach, liver and bowels. Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without gripping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remember, a good "inside cleaning" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Syrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grown-ups printed on the bottle. Adv. Problem for the Idle.

FOR COUGHS AND COLDS VIRIA E PINANAN POULTRY PROPER HOUSE FOR TURKEYS Too Much Care of Fowls Will Result in Poor Success—Confinement Is Always Hard on Them. I have a neighbor who has been trying to raise turkeys for five years now, and has never made a success of it. He insists that they should be housed every night in the same type of shelter that he uses for his chickens. I have grown turkeys for ten years, and the only kind of exposure that I know will hurt turkeys is allowing the little fellows to wade through wet grass and weeds. Where they are running in a woods lot even this does not seem to hurt them, says a Tennessee writer in the Farm Progress. My turkeys are out of doors practically all the time. I never had a turkey to "catch cold" and go around with head and wattles all swollen. The wild turkeys Profitable Specimens. manage to live through the bitterest weather, and I think the nearer the domestic bird is left to himself, the better he will do. A close house is not so good for chickens as one where there is plenty of ventilation. Of course, I would not want to expose any bird to a wind that would freeze combs and feet, but the open shelter seems to be enough to keep the turkeys from suffering any such troubles from exposure. From one end of the year to the other my turkeys roost in the open. In the spring they desert the shed as soon as the weather moderates, and take to the trees and higher fences. They lay well, and start nesting at once. I lose a few young ones when they get out in the wet fields, but most of them grow up hardy and vigorous. In nearly every case where I know of turkeys becoming unthrifty and dying off, they have been kept housed up through the winter and most of the summer. The confinement is hard on them. They are naturally a bird of the open. I have had a few broods of turkeys hatched under the Plymouth Rock or Brahma hens that liked to roost in the enclosed shelters. They never did very much good. Their plumage was never bright and clean looking, and their wattles and heads always looked sort of bloodless and unhealthy. It was easy to pick them out from birds that grew up and roosted out of doors. The turkey is only a little way removed from his wild forbears. He is not nearly so domesticated as the chicken. The nearer the turkey is permitted to live to nature, the better he will grow, and the more money he will be worth when cooped for the winter markets. HOUSE FOR DUCKS AND GEESE Birds Will Stand Low Temperature If Sheltered From Wind and Snow and Given Dry Bedding. (By C. E. BROWN, Poultryman, Crookston, Minn, Experiment Station.) Ducks and geese will stand rather low temperatures if they are sheltered from the wind and snow and the floor is well bedded with clean, dry straw. They should be given their liberty whenever they choose to go outside. Their shelter should open toward the south. A house of this style is a splendid shelter for ducks and geese and costs very little to build. The ducks and geese run together in the house except at feeding time, when the ducks are fed at a separate trough. Improving Poultry.

HAD PROOF OF ASSERTION Small Girl Was Certain Sunday School Teacher Was Wrong on at Least One Point. The abilities of the Creator would appear to have been slightly overestimated, according to a story told by Harry Lauder, the comedian. "A Sunday school teacher," he said, "was trying to impress upon the minds of her pupils the omnipotence of God. 'God,' she said, 'had made the trees, the land and sea, and fish, the animals, the birds.' "A little hand went up. "Did God make everything?" "Yes," was the teacher's reply; he made everything. "But I know one thing that he didn't make." "Do you? What is it?" "Why, God didn't make rabbit holes, because I saw the rabbits making them themselves." The Difference.

Occasional Changes Will Be Welcome by the Family and Really Mean No More Work in Their Preparation for the Table. It is not the most expensive nor the greatest variety of food that makes our tables enviable; it is the food to the cooking of which the most attention is paid. A certain cookery book gives 300 ways of cooking potatoes; yet plenty of ignorant cooks and untrained housewives think usually of only four ways of cooking this staple vegetable—boiling, frying, mashing and baking—four good ways, to be sure, but much that is good becomes monotonous. It behooves the potato cook first to understand the four usual methods, of course. Baked potatoes should be thoroughly scrubbed before they are cooked. They should be as even and smooth as possible. When they are half done they should be pricked with a fork to allow the moisture inside to escape, so that they will be mealy. They should be thoroughly cooked. Boiled potatoes should be cooked in boiling, not only hot, water. When they are done pour off the water and let them stand in the open door of the oven for a few moments to become mealy. Spread a piece of cheesecloth over the saucepan in which they stand. Mashed potatoes should be thoroughly boiled, and then mashed smooth. They may be put through a ricer. Then hot milk, melted butter and pepper and salt should be added, a little milk at a time. They should then be beaten to creaminess in the top of a double boiler with a large dover egg beater. They should be served hot. Fried potatoes should be fried in fat that is very hot to begin with. Thus a crust is formed. The heat may then be reduced slightly so that the potatoes do not burn. Potato omelet is a delicious luncheon dish. For it, cut cold boiled potatoes into quarter-inch squares. Cover them with white sauce. Put the mixture into a frying pan in which a tablespoonful of butter is bubbling. Cook it like an omelet. Sprinkle it with pepper and sauce before folding. Potatoes with cheese can be prepared in several ways. One way is to slice or dice cold boiled potatoes, spread them in a buttered dish, cover them lightly with white sauce and sprinkle them v th grated cheese and buttered bread crumbs. Then brown them in the oven. Chopped baked potatoes cooked in this way are delicious: Boll them with the jackets on until they are tender, but not mealy, and when they are cool peel them. Chop them rather fine and put them in a buttered baking dish. Cover them generously with small bits of butter and pour over them enough milk just to show at the top. Season the milk, before pouring it, with pepper and salt. Now comes the important part of this dish. Bake it slowly for at least an hour, and better for an hour and a half. Add more milk if necessary. When it is done the potatoes should be moist, firm and ready to melt in the mouth. Chicken Broiled In Paper Bag. Butter a sheet of letter paper of good size, place a boned bird on the lower half of it, fold upper half over bird, make edges come together. Then carefully fold over the lower side and ends of the paper three times, making it tight. Place in a wire broiler and broil ten minutes over a slow fire. Be sure the paper does not catch fire. Take from case, place on a slice of toast, season with salt, pepper and butter. Garnish with a spray of parsley and thin lemon slices. A breast of chicken, lamb chop or tenderloin steak can all be cooked this way. If you have one of the new cooking paper bags use that. Old Blanketa Made Over Have you an old blanket which seems to have passed its days of usefulness? Try this plan: Wash it and cover it on both sides with cheese cloth. Tack it at intervals to form little tufts with bright colored yarn; overcast, buttonhole or brier stitch the edges with yarn, according to your time and fancy. Thus you have a new, durable, sanitary bed cover which is pretty, inexpensive and admirable as a "throw" for a nap or coolish nights in summer. Fruit Stains on Linen. For removing fruit stains on linen the following is excellent: Smear the stains over with some pure glycerin. Leave it on for about one hour. Then wash the article in water, soapy water, repeating a second time necessary Transparent Puffs. Mix together one pint of water, two ounces of butter, six ounces of cornstarch, then beat five whole eggs and the whites of five. Beat well and bake in patty pans or in small spoonfuls on buttored paper.

"You must learn to love God more than you do papa or me or anybody in the whole world." Mamma was instructing her young son in his Sunday school lesson, which was the Second Commandment. Her son was already in the throes of his first love affair, the object of which was the daughter of the next door neighbor, sprightly little Lucy Johnson. "But I don't know God like I do you and papa, and it's hard work to love some one I have never met," was the unexpected comeback of little Charley. "Besides, I love papa so much and you so much and Lucy Johnson so much more than all the rest that I'm just bursting with love, and I haven't any room left to love God in." ECZEMA DISFIGURED FACE Hampton Springs, Fla.—"I had had eczema on my face and hands for about three years. My face was badly disfigured. The eczema broke out in pimples and itched so very badly I would scratch it all the time. It was the most irritating disease I ever had. It started on my face and hands and it spread all over my body. I had great large sores all over me, caused from the eczema. It bothered me day and night so that I could not rest at all. "I used three remedies for skin disease and they didn't give relief at all. I was almost terrified until a friend recommended Cuticura Soap and Ointment to me. They helped me from the time I started to use them. I only used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and was cured." (Signed) Mrs. E. C. Parker, Dec. 7, 1912.

STAR WESTERN CANADA CAME INTO EVIDENCE AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR SUPPLY OF WORLD'S FOOD- STUFFS. The present demand for foodstuffs in all parts of the world, and the expense of producing it on high-priced lands, would make it seem that western Canada came into evidence at the crucial period. There is to be found the opportunity that will be a large factor in meeting this demand. With its millions of acres of land, easily cultivatable, highly productive, accessible to railways, and with unexcelled climatic conditions, the opportunities that are offered and afforded are too great to be overlooked. There have been booms in almost every civilized country and they were looked upon as such, and in the course of time the bubble was pricked and was burst. But in no country has the development been as great nor as rapid, whether in city or in country, as in western Canada. The provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have the largest area of desirable lands on the North American continent, and their cultivation has just begun. Even with a two hundred million bushel wheat crop, less than eight per cent. of the land is under the ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat. Less than five years ago the wheat crop was only 71,000,000 bushels. It is a simple calculation to estimate that if four per cent. of the available cultivatable area produces something over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44 per cent. produce? And then look at the immigration that is coming into the country. In 1901 it was 49,149, 17,000 being from the United States; in 1906 it was 189,064, of which 57,000 were Americans, and in 1913 it was about 400,000, of which about 140,000 were Americans. But why have they gone to Canada? The American farmer is a man of shrewd business instincts, just like his Canadian brother, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from $100 to $200 per acre and move into Canada and homestead and pre-empt half a section for himself, and similarly for all his sons who are adult and of age upon lands as rich and fertile as those he left, and producing indeed several bushels to the acre in excess of anything he has ever known, it will take more than an ordinary effort to prevent him from making the change. And then, too, there is the American capital following the capital of brawn, muscle and sinew, following it so as to keep in touch with the industrious farmer with which it has had dealings for years back. This capital and the capital of farming experience is no small matter in the building up of a country. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but little has been touched. No country in the world's history has attracted to its borders a larger number of settlers in so short a time, or has attracted so much wealth in a period of equal length, as have the Canadian prairies. Never before has ploneering been accomplished under conditions so favorable as those that exist in western Canada today.—Advertisement.

Dark, Glossy and Thick With Common Garden Sage and Eulphur. When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger.—Adv.

Watch Carefully the Child's Diet Is Equally Valuable as a General Strengthening Tonic, Because It Acts on the Liver, Drives Out Malaria, Enriches the Blood and Builds Up the Whole System.

Mothers are often unconsciously very careless about the diet of their children, forcing all to eat the same foods. The fact is that all foods do not agree alike with different persons. Hence, avoid what seems to constipate the child or to give it indigestion, and urge it to take more of what is quickly digested. If the child shows a tendency to constipation it should immediately be given a mild laxative to help the bowels. By this is not meant a physic or purgative, for these should never be given to children, nor anything like salts, pills, etc. What the child requires is simply a small dose of the gentlest of medicines, such as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, in the opinion of thousands of watchful mothers, is the ideal remedy for any child showing a tendency to constipation. So many things can happen to a constipated child that care is necessary. Colds, piles, headaches, sleeplessness, and many other annoyances that children should not have can usually be traced to constipation. Many of America's foremost families are never without Syrup Pepsin, because one can never tell when some member of the family may need it, and all can use it. Thousands endorse it, among them Mrs. M. E. Patten, Valley Junction, Iowa, who is never without it in the house. Mrs. Patten Poor Man's Blow-Out. "I hear Jones had a blow-out the other night." "I didn't know he owned an auto." "He doesn't.

Bradyville, Tenn.—Mrs. Mattie Spry, of this place, makes the following statement: "Ten years ago, I was a great sufferer from womanly troubles, and was in bed nearly all the time, for about two years. I tried many treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I read in the Ladies' Birthday Almanac about Cardul, the woman's tonic, and I quit all other treatments, and began taking it. I took 8 bottles, and was cured. That has been ten years ago, and since then I have been in better health and spirits, than for 20 years. My oldest daughter was very puny at the age of 16. I gave her Cardul, and she was soon all right, and now enjoys the best of health. I am so thankful that I know of a true medicine that I can give my girls, or take myself, and that I know what medicine to send for, when I need a tonic. I am very much alive now, and certainly enjoy telling my friends, when they ask me what I found at last to help me so much, about Cardul. I can never praise it enough." You, too, can surely depend on Cardul helping you. Begin taking it today.

Smitherman Society Editor ```markdown ``` 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. The most valuable man to any community is the man who is really doing most for the community. There are far too many big "Is" in Tulsa. If we had fewer leaders and more good followers our future would be much brighter. Colonel Russel fired a broadside before the League Thursday in his address on "The Press and the League." Indeed the negro editor has a hard road to travel. When the Negroes of America forget partisanship and vote for men and measures on their respective merits only, then will dawn the political salvation of the race in this country. There is no doubting the fact that the Negro Business League is doing a great and good work throughout the nation, but there is much yet to be done here in Tulsa before the real purpose of the League will be realized. It takes pride as well as money to make beautiful cities. Pride in our homes, pride in the streets and alleys in our community. Now what citizen of Tulsa can feel much pride in North Greenwood and other streets in the East End on a rainy day? There is much being said and penned about race discriminations, prejudice etc., and there is no telling how long this crusade will continue. What we really need, now, is less talk and writing and more concerted action. Let us search our own hearts and see how much unfair prejudice we harbor against the other fellow. Then let us eliminate this in ourselves and we can better combat the same in the other fellow. THE MEETINGS OF THE LEAGUE. The interest shown at the meeting of the Negro Business League in Tulsa, last Thursday, should give us hope for the future of our people in the state. One thing was evident at the meeting, that the progressive, hustling negro is anxious to do something for himself which will make some standing for the race. It is a hopeful sign that the good people of our race who have started up the grade of the business affairs of life come together each year to discuss measures which make for the social and commercial standing of the negro everywhere, since this movement, state-wide, merges into the great national organization of which Mr. Booker T. Washington is the head. We are expecting great things at the Muskogee meeting in spite of those who feel sore because, for instance, they were not selected to lead the organization or that no particular attention has been paid them by the League. We prophecy that during the present year great extension will be made amongst our people along commercial lines. While there is yet great opportunity in Oklahoma the Business Men's League will through local influences, make a showing for us before the meeting of 1915. AN ELECTION IS NEAR. Tulsa is planning for a city election which will mean much to every citizen, regardless of race or condition, since the future of Tulsa is the issue. The men who have made Tulsa and the men who regard Tulsa as their home will see that good men and true will be placed upon the ticket and an intelligent vote will be expected from those who care enough about home affairs to go to the polls and cast their votes. The Star stands, at all times, for the best interests of the town and is pledged to no party or candidate. We hope to see representative men in office, capable men, who will go into their offices with the confidence of the people behind them. A little thought before election will always save a long complaint after candidates have been selected and elected. There are many things which we can do to help along this movement of the good people of Tulsa to make a Greater Tulsa, which will cost us but a small effort. We have, at the same time, an opportunity to make friends for us in the matter of sentiment against laws which deny us the right to vote. If we are able to convince our friends that we can cast an intelligent vote, in the interest of the best policies for the community, we will make friends for the future who will stand by us, if for no reason more than that we stood by them in an intelligent way. We do not take the liberty to suggest, at this time, any particular candidate of any particular party. Every citizen has his friends. We love the voter who stays with his friends. But we would suggest that we go into this campaign in earnest, with a view to making a fair and square demonstration of our ability to solve serious political problems in a way which reflects credit to us. We call attention of our readers to the fact that the people of Tulsa have shown a disposition to treat us more fairly than most towns in he state and we have not done our duty if we fail to reciprocate in kind. The list of candidates already announced are sufficient to please any man or any party and we earnestly hope that our readers will take this matter seriously, study the issues carefully and vote intelligently. The fate of Tulsa does not rest with any political party, but with individuals who forget party lines in their desire to serve their community. TULSA. OKLA. STAR Christ Had Negro Blood A Message to the Race. 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 of note connected with his history. They are even going so far as to deny this being fit to associate with other races. They speak of him as though he had 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. Judah, Simon and Joseph, the sons of Jacob, married black women also, Gen. 42-10. first Chronicle, 2-3, Gen. 41-45. This brings us to the thought that the black and white people have always inter-mixed. I speak of this, not because I favor the inter-mixing, but to show that it is not an unheard thing. There is so much being said in an effort to keep the races apart, in churches and restaurants, hotels and on trains and every where. 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 souls. 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 Canaanite women. They were descendants of Canan, a black man and Canan was the son of Ham, Gen. 10-6. Tomar, Judah's second wife, bare his two sons, whose names were Phares and Zarah, 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 Cananite woman, who was a 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 stafement 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 statement. 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 or walk or eat or drink with the white skinned races. A man's-color does not make the man. Christ is no less a Savior because of the fact that he comes from the tribe of Judah and has Negro blood in his veins. Just as he was scorned in his day, so we in our day. Just as he is being honored and loved today, so will we come into our own in a future day. L. R.

The Result. “Now we'll have arms going over the border.’ “Yes, and legs coming.” AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In an address delivered at the Audi- torium at Houston, Tex., E, l. Black- shear, the head of the Prairie View Normal and Industrial College fot Col ored Youths, had this to say concern: ing the reasons why the negroes of Houston are specially interested in the movement to build a general hospital in Houston. ‘The plan contemplated does not seek to make one hospital do for both races, They will be separate and distinct institutions; but there ts to be a hospital for both, and upon the basis that in caring for his own health interests the white citizen must pro- teot the colored as a matter of “Safe- ty First.” Following is the address delivered Rev. Mr, Pevoto of the Baptist sani. tarlum of Houston in a visit to Prairie View on a recent Sunday used the Sab- bath school lesson of the day as the basis of his remarks. It was the les: son of the Good Samaritan, and the speaker eaw in this parable the germ of the modern hospital. And indeed, how true is {t that this spirit of the Good Samaritan, who picked up a help: less stranger, wounded and sore, and bound up his wounds and placed him in the Eastern inn for care and pro: tection exemplifies the spirit of Christ, now manifested in modern hospitals, and in the Red Cross system of nation al and international rellef. Regard less of race, nationality or creed, the Red Cross spirit, the modern hospital spirit, takes hold of helpless suffer. ers and gives them relief and medical and sanitary attention. The spirit of Christ is not the secular spirit and pride of nationality or race so well ex. emplified in the classic civilizations of Greece and Rome, but St ts the spirit | of humanity, the spirit of the Golden Rule, the spirit of human sacrifice for ama good, the spirit of the Good Samaritan, The colored people as a part of God's common humanity need the hely of modern medical science and sant: tation, From the standpoint of self. protection, the municipality owes its colored population sanitary conditions, for bacterial diseases are no respecter of race or color once they find lodg ment; and bacterial infection or com tagion, originating from unwholesome conditions among colored people may thrust their fatal hand even into the mansions of wealth and culture. It is of interest to the whites that the bodies and hands and homes of those of the colored people who cook the food and wash the clothing and dress and handle the children of the white people should be clean, wholesome and sanitary. Speaking generally, insant tary conditions and disease among the negro people weaken the efficiency of the city’s labor and entail a loss upon invested capital, which {s fruitless without efficient labor. In the older days faithful slave women were the nurses of the south ‘They sat in humble patience at the bedside of the stricken mistress or her children, the dueky Samaritans of au alien race, Just as my grandmother, Aunt Harriet of Mongomery, Ala., was & type of the cooks of olden days who, Midaslike, turned whatever cooking material they touched to the gold palatableness, so my wife's grandmoth er, Aunt Cella of Grenada, Miss, was a type of the nurses of old, who was in truth a Good Samaritan in black, and, for miles around, was sent for to nurse the afflicted white women and children back to health and happiness, Retail dealers in Hongkong are dis. covering the advantages of window- dressing after the American plan. The honor of class oratory, assigned to a negro at Harvard, is indeed 9, creditable achievement, though elo- quence in this fervid and tmaginatiro race {8 not an unusual endowment, many negro preachers having mani fested this moving quality. It is stated that this graduate-to-be has it in mind to devote his life to the uplift of his ‘race, There 1s ample opportunity for ‘many lives to be so devoted, The freed race has progressed unevenly, individual specimens attaining to a high degree of knowledge and culture, while the mass of blacks are as much the wards of civilization as ever they were in the days of bondage. Not till individual culture begins to bear fruit in community uplift can work among the negroes be said to show adequate results, A curious tree of the tropics, the matapalo, grows only with the aid of another tree, which it gradually envel- copes and kills.

CELA, SIAR “I'm no professional agitator for temperance,” said Booker Washington, in a recent address, “but keep whisky Away from the negro. In the counties and states where there are no open barrooms the negro Js 50 per cent. bet- ter off. I don’t belleve that prohibition increases drunkenness, as one so often hears. Certain men will get whisky anywhere—but in prohibition counties you hear of the ten men who do get whisky—and you don't hear of the 100 men who do not “There are 200,000 colored people al- ways sick from preventable causes,” said he. “Some one ts paying the bill Not the colored man directly—for he can't.” He opposes segregation in cities— “not because the colored man objects to associating with his own people. He is proud of his race, He wants to as- sociate with his own kind, But ex: perience has taught him that where he is segregated the street lights are dimmer and the streets muddier and the sidewalks more full of holes and the police service more indifferent than in other parts of the same town— ‘but that he 1s made to pay his full share of the bills.” Nor is he in sympathy with the prop osition to plant immigrants on the soil of the south. The colored man, he thinks, 18 already fitted to his environ: ment, If he is given a fair chance he ‘s the most satisfactory laborer the southern employer can have. But he wants a little of the comforts of life. He wants good church and school and social facilities in the country dis. tricts, “The white folks of Dallas county,” said he, “held a meeting in the court: house one night to discuss the ques. tion of immigration. Old Jake, the col- ored janitor, wae a very curious old chap. He always tried to find out what was going on—but this meeting stumped him. After it was over he met the sheriff. “‘Cunnel Jones,’ said he, ‘wiat you wite folks up to now?’ “Colonel Jones explained, But Jake could not understand that word im: migration. Jones had to make it clear. “What do you think of the plan of bringing more white folks to Dallas county, Jake?’ asked Colonel Jones. “'Foh de Lord's ¢ake, Cunnel Jones, sald he, ‘we Dallas county niggers got Just as many wiite folks as we can sup: port now." “There are only 300,000 American Indians,” said a prominent negro, “and the government appropriates $10,000,- 000 to $12,000,000 each year to feed and clothe and educate them, And they're dying off. There are 10,000, 000 of us, and the government isn't called on to do a thing for us, as a race.” . Of the negroes, 9,000,000 are in the southern states, and 85 per cent. of these in rural districts or villages. He thinks that the negro’s best chance is in the south. The southern white 1s more tolerant of the negro’s differ. ences from the white race. He is more inclined to give the negro a chance. “That's all we want,” he said. “Just a chance. I saw the other day that $50,000,000 is being spent annually to ‘Tescue Great Britain's drunkards from the ditch. We're not in the ditch— but help us keep out of it.” The negro, he thought, is worse off, in the cities, especially in the north- ern cities, More than one-half of the money de- rived from Efgland’s income tax is collected from Londoners. | In the region between Yorktown ‘ind Williamsburg there is a district; ‘where much of the land has Jong beon ‘either owned or tenanted by colored ‘people; but it {8 a “back country” far ‘from the river and penetrated by few good roads, so that it ie and always has been a region of wretohed poverty, miserable cabins and neglected soil, very different from the farming dis trict on the eastern shore of Virginia, for example, where there are many well-cultivated farms owned or ten- anted by colored men. In this latter region the large estates are being cut up into farms of from 60 to 100 acres, provided with complete outfits of farm buildings, and rented, or eold in many instances, to colored men.

Iban is still in the midst of his Perean ministry. This lesson oc ‘curred but a few months before the crucifixion. | 1. The lesson vv. 13-15. “One out of the multitude” desired to bolster his claim to @ portion of an inheri- tance. He was sure that bis brother needed admonition from Jesus, the result of which would accrue to his advantage. Jesus made « sharp, quick reply He had been teaching about the sin of covetousness, but by his answer he intimates that his mission ‘was not to judge men of that or any other sin, His work as a judge was to come later, John 5:19-32. There are thousands who for the prospect of personal gain would strictly enforce the ethical principles of the gospel though at the same time they are not willing, themselves to abide there ander. Covetousness fe a desire to secure more and it is not confined to the rich nor to the poor. There- fore Jesus sounds a warning, “take heed” (v. 15) €, g., beware. This itch ing is so gradual and often begins with @ desire to possess things that are good of themselves and frequent ly good for him that has possession. “But as it creeps in we find it becom: Ang a great sin, A desire to build up ‘@ church, or even to compass the sal vation of a loved one, may be ant: mated by a selfish, covetous motive see I Cor. 5:10, 11; 6:10, and Eph. 5:3, 5. A man’s life consists not of the things possessed and the desire to get should be lost in the desire tc _be for the glory of God. Lighten Other's Burdens. I The Illustration, vv. 16-21. This warning of Jesus against wrong sense valuations and his suggestion as to the true source of life, are empha- sized by his illustration from life, All material values come from the earth. Mine, forest and field are the sources of all wealth. But in this illustration the ground yielded “plentifully.” He took great counsel with himself. In these three verses are twelve personal pronouns. Prosperity is heaped upon prosperity, yet his enterprises were lawful and legitimate for there is no suggestion of wrong methods. ‘The trouble was that in his self-centered pride he saw only the gratification of his material appetites. Any human activity, even the highest, may be come grossly self-centered. His, plans of enlargement were wise in the sight of men, but he left God out of his cal- culations, and ‘this is the common mis- take worldly men are making, Jas. 4:13-15, His anxiety, a characteris tle of those who trust in riches, was uncalled for, and the folly of that course was revealed in a flash when ‘he was called into the presence of God: “The things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?” Jesus reveals the worthlessness of such motives, the uselessness of such anxiety, and its unworthiness in view of what God is in himeelf, vv. 20, 21. He who can array the lily and clothe the grass of the field. The place to lay up goods is not in barns, Mark 10:21; the right way to be merry 1s to lighten the burden of another, and the way to #atisfy the soul is not to pamper the body. Read John 4:18, 14; John 7:87-39; I. Tim. 6:6; Jas, 5:5; Rev. 18:7. True Way of Life. Hl, The application, vv. 22-34 Jesus then proceeds to set before his disciples the true way of life from the positive side, just as in the illus tration he had set before them the negative side. Those who are living in right relationships with God are not to seek satisfaction in the things ot time and sense, those things of which their father knows they have need, and which he will supply, Phil. 4:19, They are, however, to seek his kingdom and to rest in confidence in the knowledge that it 1s, his pleas- ure to give to them that kingdom (v, $2), The way to get is to give, Prov, 11:24, 26, This is laying up ‘treasure in heaven.

"A rising young man," spoke the unctious voice of her father in her ear so unexpectedly that she started, blushed consciously and in some confusion evaded his keen insinuating eyes. "Is he rising to the occasion of matrimony, Ina?" "How should I know?" fluttered the girl. "He comes here occasionally, but divides his attention with others." "Father," spoke Ina suddenly, placing a pleading hand on his arm "will you do something for me?" "Why, surely—always," acceded Mr. Ringold, fairly surprised at her strange manner. "What is it?" "The trustee school board are deciding on a new teacher." "Why, yes, but that doesn't usually interest you much." "It does this time," confessed Ina hurriedly. "I understand that the board have selected two to choose from—a Miss Zelda. Bertram of Fairview, and a Miss Lucy Dodge of Brocton." "You're pretty well posted," said the Squire... "That's right." "Mr. Newcombe favors Miss Dodge. It seems some friend of his recommends her. She is young and pretty. I learn." "We usually give Newcombe his way," said the Squire. "You mustn't this time," insisted Ina. "This Miss Bertram, I have heard, is a Vassar graduate. She must be old- W. "Got Word From Newcombe Today." er than the other one. Besides, it would be quite a card for us to have a Vassar graduate as a teacher, don't you see, pap? The Squire "saw" very well, indeed, and said so and departed with a chuckle. What Ina was inspired with was the fear of beauty and youth coming upon the scene to add a new rival in her determined onset to appropriate young Newcombe as her fiance. "I'm wise," meditated the Squire. "As I have said, Newcombe is a rising man in the community and I wouldn't object to him as a son-in-law." Although Ina did not know it Paul Newcombe was perfectly free from any interest in Miss Dodge outside of wishing to oblige a friend. He had learned that the young lady in question was entirely eligible for the post she expected to fill, and his sympathies were enlisted when he learned that she was the sole support of an invalid mother. Paul had told the other six members of the school board of his preference. He was a lawyer, they respected his good judgment and up to the day before the meeting of the trustees the votes of four of his fellow members were pledged with him. To his surprise and in a way to his pained regret, Miss Bertram was chosen for the vacant post by a vote of five to two. "You see, Newcombe," explained the Squire, trying to act off-handed, "we believe that a mature woman, as this Miss Bertram is probably, would be better than a mere chit of girl." "Yes, and then again," advanced one of the Squire's cohorts, "it's something to have been educated at Vassar." "I think that some one ought to go down to Fairview and personally notify Miss Bertram of our choice," submitted a third trustee. "Exactly," approved a fourth, "and first look up her general record to be sure that we are making no mistake." "I nominate Newcombe to represent the school board in that mission," said the Squire. Paul swallowed his disappointment as to favoring a friend through the selection of Miss Dodge. He made arrangements to go to Fairview the next day. That evening the Squire came home with a satisfied expression on his face. "Well, Ina," he observed, "we carried the day." "They have selected the Vassar girl, then?" "Of course. I had influence enough for that." "I hope this Miss Bertram is the self-opinionated old maid I judge her to be," meditated Ina and felt quite elated over her petty victory. The fair siren planned out a series of parties for the near future, pursuant to the expected speedy return of Newcombe. He had never given her the least indication that he had any preference for her, but she was sure she led in the race, at least locally, as to position and wealth. "Sort of queer about Newcombe," observed the Squire, when he came home two days later. "He's usually a quick, all around business man and ought to have got through with his business at Fairview in a few hours." "Hasn't he written?" inquired Ina a trifle anxiously. "Not a word." The following evening, however, the Squire brought some fresh news. "Got word from Newcombe today," he said, and Ina looked curious and eager. "Says he has looked that Vassar girl up and found her more than capable and all that, but the deal's off." "Why, what do you mean, father?" asked Ina vaguely. "Miss Bertram won't come. Newcombe wrote that she had altered her plans. This leaves the other candidate the only one that passed the committee. I reckon they'll send for her. Newcombe sent his proxy to vote for her, so I guess it will be Miss Dodge." "But when is Mr. Newcombe coming back?" inquired Ina, losing sight of her former fears and jealousy in dismay over the continued absence of the victim she had set her cap for. "Why, he says he discovered some old friends in Fairview, needs a rest and will take a week's vacation." At the end of a week Paul returned, but Ina did not see him. She tried to in every way she could devise, but her schemes did not succeed. Paul was away again on the train to Fairview the next morning. The Squire met him at the depot. "We decided on Miss Dodge," he observed. "Yes, so I heard." "Going away again, I see. Say, Newcombe, what was the reason that Miss Bertram did not accept our offer?" "Well," replied Paul, a faint smile about his lips, "because she accepted mine." "Accepted yours?" stammered the Squire. "Yes, I guess it was fate sent me to meet the most beautiful and cultured young lady I ever knew. I am going back to marry Miss Bertram." "No," soliloquized the Squire, with a melancholy shake of the head as the train bore away the young man he had hoped to secure as a son-in-law, "it wasn't fate that sent young Newcombe to Fairview. It was Ina, and I wonder how she will take it when I tell her the news?" Miss Ina Ringold took it so seriously that she went off into a violent flut of hysterics, when she learned this, but for her arbitrary interference Paul Newcombe might still be a hope in the future. Miss Dodge came to the village, modest, devoted only to her invalid mother. In no sense, Ina realized, could she have become a rival. But when Miss Zeida Bertram—Mrs. Paul Newcombe now—a brilliant bride, appeared, even Ina acknowledged secretly that she had been the means of bringing together as charmingly mated a couple as the world afforded. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Killing Out Big Game Big game of British East Africa, outside of three preserves of the colony, is rapidly vanishing, and, according to W. T. Hornaday, "is absolutely certain to disappear in about one-fourth the time that it took South Africa to accomplish the same result." Mr. Hornaday, points out that the present legal bag limit is ruinously extravagant; for $250 any man may buy the right to kill 300 head of hoofed and horned animals of 44 species, not counting carnivorous animals that may also be killed. Thus the richest big-game fauna of any one spot in the world, which nature has been several million years in developing and placing there, seems likely to be wiped out by man within the next 15 years. "CASCARETS" FOR LIVER; BOWELS No sick headache, billiousness, bad taste or constipation by morning. Get a 10-cent box. Are you keeping your bowels, liver, and stomach clean, pure and fresh with Cascarets, or merely forcing a passageway every few days with Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or Purgative Waters? Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will make you feel great by morning. They work while you sleep—never gripe, sticken or cause any inconvenience, and coat only 10 cents a box from your store. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never have Headache, Billiousness, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach or Constipation. Adv. No Change. The young men of the town had bought the vacant lot opposite Miss Martha Billingsby's "fashionable school for young ladies," purposing to build a club house thereon. "I am sorry for you," said one of Miss Martha's friends; "I fear having these young men opposite you instead of that empty lot will seriously injure your school." "Oh, never fear," answered Miss Martha promptly; "I can assure you that it will still be an empty lot."—Neale's Monthly. Bitter Tongue. It was at a concert. The eminent pianist was embarked upon an ambitious classical program. The single individual present who had paid for his ticket turned to his right-hand neighbor, obviously by his bored and superior air a person whose business it was to attend concerts—a musical critic.

An American contractor took some mules into Mexico for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What, then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mixed. DR.

Read the TULSA STAR A high-class residence district is the latest thing promised the citizens of the East End in the opening of a new addition to Tulsa, which will be known as the Lincoln Addition. The land lies just north of the city limits on Greenwood and is an ideal place for a residence district. The Sand Springs car line runs along side of the new addition, and when Greenwood is paved some time in the near future, according to information from Commissioner Downing's department, the land will be only 300 or 400 feet from paved streets. There is a great demand in Tulsa at the present time for homes and a grand rush for lots is anticipated when Lincoln Addition is opened, which will be in a week or ten days.
