The republican County Convention held here last Saturday to select delegates to the State Convention practically read the Negro Republicans out of the party. Their action came as a surprise in view of the earlier conduct of the meeting. At the beginning of the meeting, E. E. Louderback who presided appointed as a committee to select delegates, Joe McNeal, Eugene Lorton, W. T. Brocks, John H. Simmons and Archie V. Jones. At this time Jones was the only colored man present in the convention and his appointment seemed to pave the way for several colored delegates. But win the committee retired to make its report, and Mr. Jones suggested the names of several colored men as delegates to the state convention, men whose loyalty to the party has never been questioned and all of whom are large property holders in the state, Mr. Louderback and one or two others raised a bitter protest in the committee and refused to name the delegates suggested although Mr. Jones in his efforts to be fair with the white Republicans had only requested three delegates out of twenty-two. J. B. Stradford, a prominent colored Republican, who at this time had come in, renewed the fight for colored delegates on the floor of the convention and immediately was met with a motion to adjourn the meeting which was practically an affront to the colored men present. The convention by its action simply means that no self-respecting Negro in Tulsa or Tulsa County can support either state or a county Republican ticket this fall. As Mr. Stradford said to the convention, to get the Negro Republican support the party must let them help nominate a ticket or they must do without that support. Just such tactics as played at the county convention lost Louderback the colored vote in the present city election. It means the loss of the colored vote to the party this fall.

Gov. Cruce Wins Point
Gov. Cruce Wins Point
The action of Governor Cruce in sending two companies of the State Militia to Tulsa with instructions to proceed under martial law to prevent the races in this city which started Monday is being severely criticized by the people of this city. It is claimed by some that the Governor's action was prompted by some of the leaders of the "Reformers" or the independent movement which recently met defeat at the polls in their fight for the control of the municipal government of Tulsa. However, this may be the races were held up and the Governor wins his point.
SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY APRIL 81th, 1914
Oil Takes Another Dip
Within less than two weeks crude oil has decreased twenty cents on the barrel in the Kansas and Oklahoma district, making four distinct drops at five cents a drop. However, it is a noticeable fact that, although the crude product has taken a decided slump with promises of even further decline, the refined product is still sold at the same price with prospects of a slight increase in the near future. Great thing—this monopoly business. Oil is now selling for 85 cents per barrel.
CHICAGO MAN PRAISES THE STAR
The editor is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Geo. Rogers, a resident of Chicago, praising the Star. Mr. Rogers is in the Pullman service from Chicago to Portland, Oregon. He is a brother to Bob Rogers owner of the Peoples' Theatre of this city. He has been in the Pulman service for some time and is said to be making good.
TEACHERS' EXAMINATION
The next quarterly examination for teachers' certificates will be held in the office of County Superintendent, April 23, 24 and 25, beginning at 7:45 a.m.
Teachers applying for a first grade certificate who desire a state certificate, may have their papers forwarded, to together with a fee of two dollars, to the State Superintendent for grading.
H. D. MAXWELL,
County Superintendent.
RENEWAL OF CERTIFICATES
The Attorney General holds that in order to have a certificate, issued before the new law went into effect, renewed at the present time for a term for which it was originally issued it is only necessary for a teacher to conform to the requirements of section 197 of the 1913 School Laws.
Jack Johnson Gets A New Trial
The Court of Appeals at Chicago this week reversed the lower court in the famous Jack Johnson white slave case and granted the Negro champion a new trial.
Johnson, however, is sojourning at Paris, France, and will in all probability decline to take another chance with the courts of this country.
High School Students Will Write About Noted Negroes
Beginning with the next issue of the Star and continuing until the close of the present school term a column will be opened for compositions by students of the high school on "Noted Negroes and Their Achievements." Every student of the high school will be at liberty to contribute articles and for the best written article on this subject the TULSA STAR will award the author a valuable prize at the commencement exercises or at the close of school. All articles must be submitted to Prof. E. W. Woods, who will deliver them to the editor.
Boley Woman Employed By U. S. Agricultural Dpt.
Mrs. Anna Peters, a co'ored woman of Boley, is employed by the U. S. Agriculture Department to work among colored girls of the state in organizing Girls' Home Making Clubs. The work is being done in connection with the A. and N. University at Langston. Mrs. Peters receives a salary of $1500 annually, $500 of which is paid by the state, the federal government footing the balance. Besides the club work Mrs. Peters is also advertising the Langston College. The six centers of the work being done by Mrs. Peters are Boley, Langston, Guthrie, Muskogee Oklahoma City and Kingfisher. The managers of the department here says Mrs. Peters is doing splendid work and is meeting with marked success at all of these places except Muskogee.
The nature of the work of The Girls' Club is gardening. In each community a number of girls are organized and instructed in the science of gardening and when they have the work well under way and while they are getting so Mrs. Peters makes regular visits to lecture each club on their work and general home improvement, sanitation, etc. J. R. Concil, another resident of Boley is doing the same work among the boys of the state.
Bristow Notes
Mr. Editor.-The farmers are busy planting all kinds of crops and from present indications every thing points to great yields. Despite the cold weather the fruit in this section came through alright. Most of the schools are closed and the little ones are enjoying the sports of the ball game and fishing pole. Drs. Wakefield and Williams are always on the go looking after the health of Bristow and vicinity. The L. L. U. is being organized in many places and much good is being done from a fraternal standpoint.

President of National Baptist Convention Coming
Independent Club
Will Not Support Republicans
The Colored Independent Club met at the Cleaver-Cherry hall Tuesday night and discussed matters de politic pro and con as concerns the Negro voters in the approaching County and state election this fall. It was the unanimous sentiment of the members present at this meeting to denounce the action of the recent republican County convention, and to inaugurate a movement in this county to induce all Negro voters to support only those candidates endorsed by this club.
New Business
A new enterprise has started in the East End under the firm name of Wright & Davis. They are located in the Cleaver-Cherry building on North Greenwood. Their stock in trade is groceries, fresh meats, new and second hand furniture and general repairing.
Negro Postriss Makes Showing
Mound Mayou, Miss., April 10.—The receipts of the postoffice at Mound Bayou, Miss., over which an Afro-American woman presides as postmistress, and which town is an exclusive race town, indicates the progress of the town. From March, 1912, to March 1913, the receipts were as follows: Money orders issued, $67,776.22; fees, $539.40; on postal account, $3,507.44; sale of stamps, $3,337.51; from newspapers, $41.88; box rents, $227.50. In the Postal Savings Department certificates to the amount of $343 were issued. The postoffice receipts of a city or town indicate how live it is. This being accepted as a criterion, the town of Mound Bayou is very much alive.
The Negro Business League will be organized April 25th, at 2 p. m. Among the prime movers of the organization may be mentioned Rev. J. W. McKenny, J. J. James, Dr. M. H. Wakefield, Dr. . R. Williams, P. L. Shoals, Henry Williams, Prof. A. L. W. Shields.
We think the Star a great paper; long may it live to fight the battles for all that is good that pertains to us as a race.

War Cloud Blows Over
What seemed at first a sure 'nough war cloud between the United States and Mexico faded away with President Huerta's consent to fire a salute to the Stars and Stripes in atonement for certain indignities to the U. S. Government. Practically all of the U. S. fleet had been ordered to the Mexican shores and it had begun to look like there would be something doing. Huerta's action, however, has pacified Uncle Sam and the Mexicans may now continue to slaughter each other without fear of Uncle Sam butting in.

PASSING OF ONE-TIME CHILD-WIFE RECALLS CAREER OF CASSIUS M. CLAY
Strange Marriage of Aristocratic, Fire Eating Southern Abolitionist at Age of Ninety and Dora Richardson, the Thirteen-Year-Old Child of a Poor White Family, a Union That Caused a Siege at Clay Mansion.
Louisville, Ky.—It is more than ten years now since the name of Gen. Cassius M. Clay figured in the day's dispatches from Kentucky. We used to read of him in 1903 as an old man with a bushy white mane in a state of siege at his family mansion near Richmond, Ky., with faithful retainers, armed with guns, defending the fought with pen or bowle knife or tongue with equal facility. It was because he was a fighting man that the marriage with the child wife and the reluctance to be interviewed on the subject attracted attention.
Those were the days when faithful servitors of the old aristocrat guarded every approach to White Hall, the

besieged house against attacks by process servers and the curious public.
The name is only recalled to mind now by the dispatch the other day announcing the death of Dora Richardson, the erstwhile child wife of the aged warrior and statesman.
It was one of the strangest romances in history, that strange affinity between the old man, the aristocrat, scholar, diplomat and soldier, the sion of one of the proudest lines in America and the little, untutored, unkempt girl of a poor white family.
He was ninety, she was thirteen. He was old enough to be her great-grandfather, yet he married her.
It was the old man's dream to take the untaught child, accustom her to the ways of culture, educate her, make her a fitting heir for his name and estate. He carried out his part of the plan, but the poor child could never accustom herself to her unusual surroundings. After she tired of the dolls and the other toys he bought her she pined for her own folks and, when he saw it was inevitable, Gen. Clay yielded gracefully, dowering her with some of the precious heirlooms of the Clay family and giving her a house. The girl, in turn, having married Riley Brook, a youth of her own station and age, named her first born Clay Brock.
And now her little day of fame is ended. Death has closed the most unusual romance of the old Blue Grass state. Finis is written. Gen. Clay was all but forgotten prior to 1903 when his marriage to the slip of a girl brought once more into prominence the hero of a departed age. Now he will recede into history. The events growing out of that marriage, the beleaguered state of his house, the opposition of his children, the sensations that developed were but recrudescences of the old time bellicose nature of the man who
DECLARES DOGS SEE SPIRITS
DECLARES DOGS SEE SPIRITS
Miss Lind Also Believes That All Animals Have Souls—Comes to Fight Vivisection.
New York.—"You've got to stop sticking my dog around."
The lady is here to make you stop. Miss Louise Lind of Hageby, champion of the anti-vivisectionists, of world-wide fame, arrived on the Lusitania from Liverpool. Miss Lind says that she is far from being opposed to science, but she is "violently opposed to cutting up live dogs and other animals for the benefit of science. She says that it is not necessary. Some years ago she had erected in London a monument to "The Little Brown Dog; the Victim of Vivisection."
College students tore down the monument and a few riots followed. But the champion of the little brown dog says that the monument served its purpose in directing attention to the sacrifice of live animals to science. Miss Lind says that it was a visit to the Pasteur institute in Paris which
fought with pen or bowie knife or tongue with equal facility. It was because he was a fighting man that the marriage with the child wife and the reluctance to be interviewed on the subject attracted attention.
Those were the days when faithful servitors of the old aristocrat guarded every approach to White Hall, the manor house of his estate at Richmond, Ky., with loaded guns; when the house itself was in a state of siege, guns bristling from its windows and sentries keeping incessant watch.
That impertinent curiosity of the public regarding his private affairs irritated the old fighter. The bitterness that arose between the doughty old general and his kinsfolk following his strange marriage aroused his animosity. He did not hesitate to fire on a couple of deputies who approached to serve a writ demanding furniture which belonged to his daughters. His Spartan spirit did not hesitate even to threaten to fire at his own son, when the latter would have made peace. He was of an implacable nature.
He was a fighting man born and bred and he died a fighting man, denying entrance to a physician, with his trusty bowle knife near his pillow and his guns within reach. The body of the old man might decay; his spirit nothing could quench.
A flood of memories comes with the mention of the death of the child wife of this fighting Kentuckian, memories that are now beginning to harden into formal history with the passing from the stage of the men who recall the day when the name Clay was a name to conjure with. In the halls of congress, in the secret chambers of diplomacy, on the battlefields of the country a Clay has

If there were no controversy to take part in a Clay would start one. And now the last of the family is gone—the last fighting member, for of the descendants of the general there has been none yet to break into print with bellicose threatenings.
originated the crusade in aid of the dog and other animals subjected to torture for science. She is on her way to Washington to attend the international Anti-vivisection and Animal Protection Congress.
The friend of the canine is interested in a number of women's movements. She is a suffragette but does not believe in militancy, she says. Militancy, she believes, is as bad as vivisection, in its way.
Miss Lind is also a student of psychic research. She was a friend of the late William T. Stead, who went down on the Titanic. She believes that dogs and other animals have immortal souls as well as human beings.
"It is just as reasonable," said the lady, "to admit that animals have immortal souls as that we have. I believe that dogs may see spirits. We often see exhibits of a high order of intelligence in animals. How often have you observed a dog lying at your side suddenly rise, with his hair bristling and a strange look in his eyes? He sees something which you cannot see."
TULSA. OKLA.. STAR
To the old general it made little difference whether the fight were with drawn pens, with revolvers, broad-swords, flats or guns. But perhaps he liked best the bowie knife. That was a Kentucky defense. Old Colonel Bowie had devised it. The long, keen blade, a certain weapon in the hands of a strong man, it was the common thing among those who resorted to brute strength. No story of hunter or outlaw was complete in the old Nick Carter days without the bowie knife. It is obsolete now, but it was the weapon General Clay knew; when his fingers gripped its hilt his own valor did the rest. He once stood off a dozen men in a hand-to-hand conflict, ripping them to ribbons with his bowie knife and a bowie knife it was that he kept near him as long as breath remained in his body, in that last warm fight with death.
A fight was natural for General Clay. He got his title for leading troops in the Mexican war. He used to say that no man could get political pre-

ferment in Kentucky without a military title and that he went to war with that purpose in view. His Mexican campaigning days he endured with distinction.
His main fights, however, were in connection with slavery. He was one of the few southern abolitionists. To what fortuitous circumstance we owe it that he went to Yale college to complete the studies he had begun in Transylvania college does not appear. But he went. And when in New England he was deeply moved by the speeches of that prophet of abolition, William Lloyd Garrison. Champion of an unpopular cause, Garrison became a hero to young Clay. It may have been because the great abolitionist was with bravery putting up a losing fight that the Kentuckian admired him.
At all events when he went back among his Kentucky slave holding friends he went back an ardent abolitionist. Fearless espousal of that cause lost him the re-election to the state legislature in 1841. In '44 he stumped the North with all the impetuosity of his fliery nature for the election of his father's cousin, Henry Clay, to the presidency.
In a barricaded building, more resembling an arsenal than a printing office, in the city of Lexington on Kentucky's slave soil he issued in 1845 The True American, openly advocating anti-slavery.
And all but forgotten was he, had it not been for his strange marriage and his child wife, whose passing the other day revived memories.

Washington Youth, With Incurable Heart Trouble, Sees President Wilson at White House.
Washington.—A nine-year-old boy, dying of heart trouble, was brought to the White House to have his desire to see and be smiled upon by the president of the United States granted. He is Harry Winthrop Davis, son of Mrs. A. L. Davis of Sewickley, Pa. The boy has had incurable heart trouble for years, and is now being taken to Atlantic City, where there is a chance that he may live a few weeks longer. He was taken to the White House in an ambulance and was brought into the blue room on a cot, where the president and Mrs. Wilson greeted him. The president made the boy happy by presenting him with a bouquet of forget-me-nots.

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.)
COST OF DISCIPLESHIP.
LESSON TEXT-Luke 14:25-35.
GOLDEN TEXT-"Whoseover would save his life shall lose it; and whoseover shall lose his life for my sake shall find it." Matt. 16:25.
While this discourse is recorded only by St. Luke, still there are many things mentioned here to which our Lord made reference on other occasions. Last Sunday's Easter lesson made a break in the sequence of lessons we have been following, and shall follow for several succeeding Sundays. Leaving the chief Pharisee's house wherein he criticized both host and guests, "great multitudes" followed our Lord. Turning, he uttered some of the severest and yet the most wonderful words that ever fell from his lips, as we shall see if we follow all of this part of our lesson series.
Multitude Rebuked.
1. A Caution, v. 26. On another occasion, John 6:26, Jesus rebuked the multitude which followed him. This multitude who pressed about him did not realize what was involved in a true following. They were influenced by the psychology of the crowd, and did not count the cost. Jesus does not mean that our discipleship will lessen our love for our kin (Eph. 5:25, 28:31; 6:1:4), but as compared with our love for him it is aversion. See Matt, 10:37; Phil. 3:7, 8; Ps. 73:25, 26. Aversion is to turn aside, and the Master told us that those who shall turn aside thus shall have an abundant reward, see Mark 10:28-30. Jesus Christ must be supreme in a Christain's affections. He who freely gave his own self (John 3:16, Phil. 2:8) has a right to demand a like devotion to himself, and as men have approached nearest to such a consecration he has exalted them. The Cross means the shame, sorrow, pain and death of self and all that lies in the pathway of loyalty and devotion to him. II Tim. 3:12. Acts 14:22.
II. A Challenge, vv. 27-32. (1) The Instruction, v. 27. As if to make this caution more solemn, Jesus sets before the multitude the manner of his approaching death and the condition of discipleship. He here lays down the first declaration of the severe terms of discipleship, but explains the meaning of his words. There is a new meaning of this passage suggested by the Revised Version of v. 33, "so likewise" is rendered, "so therefore." Our Lord does certainly insist that those who build a tower or conduct a war must cont the cost; so, likewise, they who follow him. But by this change the opposite thought is suggested, viz., that those who follow him must do so whatever the cost may be. (2) The Illustrations. (a) The builder of a tower, vv. 29, 30, and (b) The King at war, vv. 31, 32. Too often we present to men what is to be gained by Christian discipleship. The gain does outweigh the cost, but as wise builders we must present the cost side of the transaction.
Homely Illustrations.
III. The Conclusion, vv. 33-35. We have already indicated the conclusion towards which Jesus was leading with terrific logic, and by looking back to the first verse of the lesson we see what it was he was seeking to impress upon the minds of the thoughtless multitude. Again the Master uses one of those homely illustrations gathered from the common experiences of life which he employed so frequently to amplify or to drive home a great truth. There must be quality as well as devotion to this discipleship. Salt preserves from corruption, seasons insipidity, freshens and sweetens. These qualities are referred to abundantly by Scriptural writers. Salt is highly prized in the East. The natural man is presented also as being corrupt, Gen. 6:11; 8:21; Ps. 14:2, 3; Eph. 2:1-3. The remedy for this is the active presence of his disciples among their fellows. The true disciple is like salt with a good savor. On the other hand, salt that has lost its savor is not even fit for a dung-hill, but is thrown out and trodden under foot of men. So our Lord sets aside that disciple of his who has lost his usefulness. This expresses our Lord's contempt and scorn of those who lack, not merely a certain kind of character, but those whose profession and appearance would indicate a better expectation.
This lesson presents the severity of the claims of Jesus. Irresistibly he drew the multitudes to himself. Witness the crowd following him as he leaves the house of the ruler. But he paused and by his teaching sifted them, and seemingly made it difficult to follow him.

IDEAS for HOME BUILDERS by WM. A. RADFORD

Mr. William A. 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.

It is surprising to one who has not given the matter thought, how many little points there are connected with the planning of an up-to-date convenient residence that can be gotten all wrong if the architect is not exceedingly careful or doesn't know his business, and the house resulting be almost ruined, so far as comfort and the conveniences of housekeeping are concerned.
It has frequently been suggested that architects doing residence work should seek advice of the women concerning many points, and find out from first-hand testimony just how the housekeeper wants to have the many features which mean so much to her, but which mere man knows very little of. Some of these points that have been suggested are as follows:
What woman would put in laundry tubs so deep that the luckless worker who is of short or medium stature is in constant danger of pitching forward upon her head, while the tall woman can at least reckon upon a headache or backache as the result of a few hours work; or, who but man would make the ledge between the tubs so wide that no ordinary wringer can be fitted to it? Would any woman dream of standing a kitchen range so close to the wall on the side where
THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER
the match has to be applied and the stop-cocks regulated that it is only by difficult maneuvering with the left hand that the range can be managed at all?
Nor is there any plausible reason for so arranging the wall spaces that the refrigerator must stand next to the stove, while the closet in the kitchen, which is to be used as a pantry, is as far away from the self-same stove as it is possible to place it, presumably to give the cook some needed exercise in getting up a meal.
Another idea which should suggest itself to the woman architect, or architect's assistant, is the fact that the toilet room, if there is but one, should be separate from the bathroom, as a matter of family convenience; also, if the bathroom is on the second floor,
First Floor Plan.
an extra toilet and laboratory should be provided on the first floor.
There is no good reason, either, for setting a bathtub a few inches above the floor, thus leaving a space underneath which is almost inaccessible and yet must be kept clean for sanitary reasons. Then, too, if the demand were insistent enough, manufacturers might see fit to market a washstand so made that a woman's hair would not inevitably catch upon the faucet every time she washed her face.
A clever woman assisting in planning houses or apartments would see the advantage of plain moldings and woodwork, oiled kitchen and bathroom floors, and washable walls. Another feature that might be easily introduced in the kitchen, laundry and bathroom floors is a drain, so that they could be flushed with water that would run off through connections with pipes. In the more luxurious homes, dish and clothes washers run by electricity

would help materially to render the work less disagreeable and to induce the servant problem to settle itself. Fireless cookers, now used by not a few up-to-date housekeepers, might also be built in.

erally lacking. These are but a few of the things that a woman assistant could keep before the eyes of an architect in the domestic branch of the work.
In buildings that are to be rented, it should be made an invariable rule to put in as many permanent features as possible, such as towel and soap racks and medicine chest in bathrooms, utensil shelves and hooks in kitchen and pantry, as well as curtain hooks and portiere poles, in addition to shades and screens for windows and doors. For, where this is not done, each succeeding tenant adds his mite to the disfigurement of walls and woodwork.
In the design illustrated herewith, many of these suggestions have been taken advantage of, and this design is offered as embodying numerous desirable features and labor-saving convenences which the women appreciate.
In this design there are three large rooms on the main floor, besides pantry, downstairs toilet room, ice box alcove and back entry. The front of the house is especially attractive, with the large living room lighted on three sides. Broad cased openings connect the stair hall with the living room on one side and the dining room on the other, making in all a very spacious apartment.
The second floor of this house is small, compared to the first-floor plan, since the living room is a one-story wing with flat roof. This, however, provides a very nice second-story balcony opening out of one of the bedrooms, which can be used very easily for an outdoor sleeping room in the summer time. Both of the bedrooms are of good size, and are nicely arranged for convenience. This house is designed along strictly modern lines, giving the popular cement stucco outside finish. The house will cost from $3,500 to $4,000, depending on the local material and labor market. It is a design of a good deal of style and can be recommended as generally satisfactory.

POULTRY FACTS
TELLING THE SEX OF GEESE
Not Easy Matter to Make Distinction in Toulouse Variety as Birds Are All of Same Color.
It is not an easy thing to distinguish the sex of geese, especially of the Toulouse variety. Both sexes are the same in color, but in this variety the male or gander is somewhat larger, has a larger head, longer neck, and carries himself more erect.
The voice of the female is coarser than that of the male, a point that is relied upon quite generally by experienced growers of these fowls.
Gilbert says there is an embarrassing likeness between the gander and the goose, and out of the breeding
Toulouse Geese.
season it is not easy at first to distinguish between them, while the young goslings long baffle conjecture as to their sex.
Yet certain distinctions gradually manifest themselves, as for instance, the noise, the gander's hiss, being more shrill and sibilant than the goose's.
Newman says that when six or seven months of age, or at maturity, the ganders can be told from the geese by observation. In most cases the male grows somewhat larger than the female.
The goose is deeper in the body, a trifle slimmer in the neck, and smaller in the neck. The call of the gander is loud, long and shrill, while that of the goose is merely an answer to it.
There is a curious plan to determine sex adopted in Cambridgeshire, England. All the geese are shut in a stable or a pig-sty. A small dog is then put in. It is said the geese will all lift up their heads and go to the back of the place, while the ganders will lower and stretch out their necks, hissing all the time. Gilbert refers to the same method, saying the ganders will put their heads down at the dog and hiss, while the geese will keep their heads up and try to avoid the intruder.
POULTRY NOTES
Work for a reputation.
The fresher the eggs for hatching
the better will be the hatch.
Are the quarters provided for the
chickens clean and sanitary?
A well ventilated cellar is the best
place to operate the incubator.
Sprout your light oats for green
food. The hens like them best that
way.
If several hens are set in one room
it is desirable to confine them in good
nests.
Too many people, especially novices,
think it essential to build costly poultry houses.
For fattening old or young chickens, nothing beats a wet mash of corn meal and milk.
The best results in natural hatching will be obtained when the hens are set on the ground.
Don't forget to hatch a few hen eggs under hens. They will make big, vigorous breeders when mature.
Free range chickens are never so tender for roasting as those with limited range and fed on pure feed.
All eggs should be tested by the seventh day, which often makes it possible to reset some of the hens.
Keep a chronic setting hen from feeling any warmth under her body and you will break her of the habit.
The humble hen is a big factor in the profts of the farm, but she needs attention just as much as anything else.

A few days ago a mob lynched a defenseless woman at Wagoner but the governor did not see fit to delegate even one man to go there and investigate the affair. But when a horse race is put on in Tulsa, his Excellency, to preserve the dignity of the state, sends two companies of the state militia to intercede and prevent betting on the races. Will some one please explain the moral?
Railroad Porters Form Organization
Chicago, Ill, March 31, 1914.
Mr. Colored Train Porters:
Dear Sirs—The principles of free governments adheres to the American soil, it is bedded in it; immovable as its mountains, and let the sacred obligations which have devolved on this generation, and on us, sink deep into our hearts, those daily dropping from among us, who established our liberty and our government, the great Trust now descends to new hands, let us apply ourselves to that which is presented to us, as our appropriate object. We can win no laurels in a war with roal road companies. Earlier and worthier hands have gathered them all. Nor are there places for us by the side of President Wilson and Bryan, our fathers could not have filled them. But there remains to us a great duty of defense and preservation; and there is opened to us, also, a noble pursuit, to which the spirit of the times strongly invites us. Our proper business is improvement. Let our age be the Age of Improvement, in a day of peace, let us advance the arts of peace and the work of peace, let us develop the Brotherhood of Rail Road Train Porters of America as strong as we can into a great body. Call forth its powers, build up an institution, promote all its great interests, and see whether we also in our day and generation, may not perform some thing worthy to be remembered. Let us cultivate a true spirit of union and harmony in pursuing the great objects, which our condition points out to us, let us act under a settled conviction, and an habitual feeling, let our conceptions be enlarged to the circle of our duties, let us extend our ideas over the whole United States and Canada, in which we are called to act, let our objects be, our organization, our whole organization, and nothing but the Brotherhood of Rail Road Train Porters of America, and by the blessing of God, may the Brotherhood of Rail Road Train Porters of America, itself become a vast and splendid monument, not of opression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace, and of liberty, upon which the world may gaze, with admiration for ever.

A TRYMG ORDEAL
Almost enough!” proclaimed Hwa
Truman, with sparkling eyes.
Her companton and fiance, Merton
Hull, divided an evident satisfaction
and delight between her shining face
and a bank book which both were
scanning. It showed over six hundred
dollars to his account. More than the
money did the fair sweet-souled gir!
cherish what the slow, patient accumu:
lation of that comparatively small
amount of money signified.
It meant the redemption of a wild,
wayward youth through one faithful
woman's devotion. It presented the
sure evidence that even a reckless
spendthrift may become almost a mt:
ser when love commands. Their two
years’ acquaintance ran like an {dyl.
Young Hull was a casual writer. He
was generous, free-hearted, and this
had led him Into companionship with a
heedless crowd of brother journalists
When Eva became acquainted with
him a sudden change came into his
life. He abandoned reckless compan
ions, gave up drinking, which had been
his bane, and started in to win a home
for the lovely girl who had given him
the full, true affection of her deep
earnest nature.
“When we have enough to buy a lit
tle home we will begin life together,’
Eva had said, and to that end both
had been working for over a yeat
now.
She was employed as a stenographe
and earned a good income. Eva wat
alone in the world. She had saved
even more than Merton. Another yea
of thrift and economy and they would
have reached the goal of their ambi
tion.
“It seems so little!” deplored Mer
ton. “It takes so long to reach the
Umit we have set.”
“But we are more than half way
‘on our road,” challenged Eva sweetly
“And what a road!” enthused Mer
ton. “All roses since I met you!”

work, and never tiring of It when se
cured.”
“Such as the work has been,” re
sponded Merton with a helpless and
resigned shrug of his shoulders, “I
wish it would change.”
“Then your new task for this Mr.
Worthington does not please you?” in-
quired Eva.
“It 1s not that, for the pay is good.
It ts the lack of permanency. Mr.
Worthington is paying me handsome-
ly, but the work will last only a month
longer. 1 would rather have steady,
settled work, even at a low price, than
these occasional writing jobs.”
“The steady work will come, don't
worry, dear,” said Eva encouragingly.
It was a rather mystifying task that
Merton had secured through answer-
ing an advertisement calling for a
writer and compiler. It had led him
to apply at a bachelor’s quarters in a
high-class apartment house. There he
had been set at work by Mr. William
Worthington. After working for him
for a week Merton knew no more as
to his business or connections than on
the first day of his engagement. His
work comprised going over many vol-
umes and newspaper clippings dealing
with statistics on crime.
“I think Mr, Worthington ts prepar
ing a volume on criminology,” Mertor
told Eva. “He leaves me to my work
daytime and evenings, gives me a key
to his rooms and his desk and seems
to place absolute trust in me. Often |
do not see him for days. Yesterday
he left the city and said he wou!* he
gone for a week. He has left r
entire charge of his apartments.’
Merton had certainly been made at
home in his new position, At the re
quest of Mr. Worthington he now
slept nights at the rooms of the latter
After he had left Eva on that particu
lar evening he met an cld journalistic

friend whom he had not seen for years,
a man he very much liked.
“See here, Hull,” spoke Dudley Cra-
gin, “I'm leaving in the morning. Can't
you put in the time showing me around
the old clubs we used to go to years
ago?”
Reluctantly and from courtesy only,
Merton agreed to join Cragin at his
hotel an hour later, He went to Mr.
Worthington’s room, put his writing
aside, donned his best hat and tle and
prepared to leave to keep his appoint-
ment.
A memory of old time late hours
caused Merton to open a drawer where
ho had noticed a revolver. He took
out the weapon and as he did so he
"was somewhat startled to notice a Iit-
tle package of fresh new bank notes.
There were ten of them, each for one
hundred dollars.
At first flush the thought that came
to Merton was of the risk and care-
|lessness involved on the part of his
lemployer in leaving all this money
|in so unprotected a situation. He
| started to place the money in the safe.
| Then a whimsical {dea came into his
mind, He was inclined to make a show
| of prosperity with Cragin, who now
| lived in his home town. Merton placed
the money in his pocket book.
“The bills are safer with me than
in that desk drawer,” he reasoned. “I
will masquerade as a Croesus for one
evening at least!”
‘That evening was rather a bore and
a burden to Merton. Thia was because
there was some drinking in the liter:
ary clubs they visited. In this Merton
did not partake and was not in har
mony with the old-time revelry. He
saw that his reformation produced a
good impression on Cragin, and as he
flashed the one hundred dollar bills
promiscuously Merton was assured
that he would be reported on the road
to wealth, and smiled whimsically over
the idea.
It was after he had reached the
Worthington apartments that he made
a dismaying and fearful discovery. His
pocket book was gone. Lost or stolen
it was out of his possession, and—
Ruin! disgrace! perhaps arrest! Al
night long he tossed on a sleepless
bed. He wandered the streets aimless
ly all that day. At eventide, wretched
haggard, desperate, he went to Eva
and told her all the truth.
She was only sorrowful. The ques.
tion of replacing the lost money was
the course honorable, inevitable. She
made Merton draw his savings from
the bouk, she added enough of her own
to make up one thousand dollars. Ther
Merton purchased ten new one hun
dred dollar bills and placed them tt
the desk drawer.
The luckless twain bore their secret
burden courageously. Eva was moré
lovable than ever, but Merton nevet
for a moment ceased to reproach him
self for his foolhardy exploit.
“We will just build all over again,’
said Eva sweetly.
Somehow Mr. Worthington contin
| ued to require the services of Merton
| He finally made an arrangement where
| he was to remain as his private secre
| tary at a liberal stipend
|, One day a month later Mr. Worth
ington was cleaning up his desk. Mer
ton stared hard as he saw him throw
the money contents of the drawer int
the waste basket with the words:
“Be sure you burn up all that truck

Aldeburgh, which today holds its

‘swallowed up ancient Dunwich. At
‘one time the land went a quarter of a

ten times more land toward the sea

which the sea has stolen, while in 1799

SAVING ON MEAT BILL
IDEA OF RETAIL BUTCHER AS TO
HOW TO DO IT,
High-Priced Cuts, He Asserts, Are Not
Necessarily the Best—More Nour
ishment In Many of the Cheap-
er Grades—About Chops.
In the Woman's Home Companion a
retail butcher writes an article en-
titled “Reducing the Meat Bill,” in
which he shows how people who buy
the high-priced cuts don’t get the best
meat, He says that some of the cheap-
est meats are the best. He takes an
Itemized weekly meat bill of $4.62 and
shows, item by item, how that bill can
be reduced to $3.21, just by using
cheaper cuts, which he says are bet-
ter cuts. After dealing with the vart-
ous kinds of steaks—in which, by the
way, he tells about the steak that the
butcher eats himself—he goes on as
follows about roasts and chops:
“A roast of beef costing $1 or $1.50
at the present time is not much; a
bungry and healthy family will proba-
bly finish it in one meal. You can still
enjoy good roast beef, and surely for
less money, only buy the right cut.
From past observation the writer hag
found that nine out of ten customers
ask for the first cut of the rib roast
Of course, they are the most expensive
cuts, The fifth, sixth and shoulder
ribs are hardly in demand, and the
butcher has @ hard job selling them
‘These end ribs or shoulder ribs of
roast beef are not only considerably
cheaper to buy, but are richer in nour-
ishment and food value. When buying
one of the three or four ribs of beef,
say, for instance, weighing five pounds.
you will find that you hardly have
sufficient meat left after it is carefully
trimmed and the bone taken out. The
difference in price between the first
cut on the rib and the last two cuts ts
at least six cents a pound, and when
you ask for a shoulder rib roast ask
the butcher to insert a plece of suet
in the center of the roast, or, if he has
time, to lard it with thin pieces of fat
Another good piece of meat for roast
beef is the top sirloin, which ts not
80 cheap, but it is recommended be
cause it has no waste.
“The next important item on the
meat bill is chops—either lamb, pork
or veal chops. Lamb chops, however
are the kind mostly demanded, and, o|
course, the demand is for loin and rit
chops, the most expensive. There {s
the same solution as with steaks—buy
shoulder chops; they cost less and are
sweeter. This same principle applied
again to pork chops. The shoulder
chops are very sweet and tender, and
the butcher will sell them for less, but
very few people know about them.”
To Make Okra Soup.
Okra soup, or gumbo soup, can be
made in a good many ways. For one
kind make a rich stock from beef and
veal bones strain and skim. Add to
@ quart of the stock a pint of okra
Sut in small pieces and stewed with
@ pint of tomatoes and a pint of water
until tender, Put in three or four
teaspoonfuls of rice and simmer until
it 1s tender. Then serve very hot.
This soup, of course, does not equal
chicken gumbo soup, which {s one of
the most delicious soups made, but
which takes four or five hours in the
making and calls for chicken, beef,
okra, potato, onion, rice, tomato, green
Pepper, bacon and several other 1n-
gredients.
Linoleum Polish.
Odds and ends of candles will make
an inexpensive polish for linoleum.
Use about equal parts of candle scraps
and common turpentine. Place in a
jar and stand where {t is warm, un-
Ul the grease ts quite melted, then al-
low to cool, where it will be soft and
creamy. Use with a soft cloth and pol-
ish with a second soft cloth. A little
of the grease will go a long way.
Cream of Corn Soup.
One can grated corn, one pint botl-
‘ng water. Cook gently 20 minutes,
then rub through a sieve. Melt two
tablespoonfuls butter. When bubbling
add two tablespoonfuls flour, one tea-
spoonful salt and dash white pepper
and stir in a smooth paste, then add
gradually to it one pint milk and
cook until smooth and creamy. Stir
all the time. Cook five minutes on
back of the stove, where it will not
burn, and add corn; heat thoroughly
and serve.
Soup From Corner Beef.
‘Tho hot lquor from very freshly
corned beef is a very fine soup stock,
but the over ealted and long pickled
or saltpetered corned beef 1s prac-
tically spoiled for use as meat and the
water in which such meat is bofled
is absolutely worthless for soup stock.
Keeping Flatirons Smooth.
Flatirons can be kept clean and
smooth by rubbing them first with a
piece of wax tied in a cloth and after.
‘ward rubbing them on a paper or cloth
strewn with coarse salt,

Irish Boy, in Sore Predicament, Re:
le tained to the Full His Native |
Country's Wit.
Francis J. Kilkenny, a Chicagoan,
and one of the organizers of the Irish
home-going movement, tells an amus:
ing story about his early struggles in
America, He was a green boy, with
the native peat still clinging to his
shoes, but he was not afraid of work,
and was determined to get on in
the new country.
Accordingly he bought a lawn mow-
er and made a house-to-house canvass
of the ueirhborhood, with the object
of fini g av ua to mow. At one place
where he had applied for work an un-
friendly dog, bristling like a porcu:
pine, leaped out at him with hostile
intent,
The boy fled but found escape
barred by a high board fence, with
ja formidable row of nails along its

Scientist's Heavy Brain.
Dr, Alphonse Bertillon, head of the
criminal {dentification bureau of the
Paris prefecture of police, left his
skull by will to the Academy of Med
icine. Dr, Manouvrier has dissected
the bequest and finds that the brain
weighs 1,625 grams, as against the
welght of the normal brain of 1,300
grams. The weight is regarded as all
the more remarkable when it is re
memembered that Dr. Bertillon had
for a long time suffered from pernict

FACE COVERED WITH PIMPLES
2i4 Brevard St, Tampa, Fla.—
“Some three years ago 1 commenced
to suffer from a rash on my face and
back. Before the pimples came on my
face there were a lot of blackheads, It
looked as if the blackheads turned
into pimples because after a little
while all of them were gone and my
face was covered with pimples. They
wero small at first but gradually
grew and right at the end of each
pimple it was all white. I carelessly
picked them with my finger nails,
which made them spread, and I soon
discovered them on my back. My
back was covered with pimples and
my face the samo way. At night I
could hardly sleep on account of the
burning and itching sensation they
caused, I did not lke to go out bo
cause the pimples caused disfigure-
ment.
“Seeing the advertisement of Cutl-
cura Soap and Ointment in one of
the magazines I sent for a sample. I
bought some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment, and I am glad to be able to
say that I am entirely cured of pim-
ples.” (Signed) Jno. O, Darlington,
Jan, 25, 1913.

Napoleon's Day of Gloom.
One hundred years ago the Empress
Maria Louisa and her son, the King
of Rome, fled from Paris to Blois. The
fight was contrary to their own wishes
and the advice of the Council of State,
but was deemed necessary in complt
ance with Napoleon's expressed com
mand that under no circumstances
were his wife and daughter to be al:
lowed to fall into the hands of the en:
emy. The carriages were not called
until ft was found that the armies of
the Allies were almost at the gates of
Paris, Even then the young king of
Rome refused to get into the carriage,
clinging to the curtains of the pal
ace which he was bout to leave for
ever. The long train of imperial car
riages was escorted from the city by
300 soldiers of Napoleon's old guard
whose hearts were filled with genuine
sorrow.

When a man was fined at North
London recently for being drunk and
disorderly, it was stated that about
one o'clock in the morning he was
singing at the top of his voice, with
his arms round a lamp-post,
Magistrate—What was he singing?
Constable—You made me love you.

Dyspeptics Can Make the Rest of
the Family Happy by Using
a Laxative-Tonic.
‘The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend so
much on the good digestion of each
Individual present that the experiences
of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should be of inter-
est to those now suffering in this
way.
‘The best advice one can give—but it
fa advice that fs seldom heeded—is to
ber slowly and masticate each mouth-
ful carefully. However, 1f slow eating
and careful mastication fail the next
aid is one close to nature, Dr, Cald-
woll’s Syrup Pepsin. ‘This remedy is
an excellent digestant, and in addition
| to helping in the digestion of the food,
acts gently on the liver and bowels,
ridding them of the accumulation of
waste that should long ago have been
passed olf. It is safe, rellable, pleas

Maj. 8. Martin, of Joplin, Mo., now

has helped him to a longer and hap-

years as he has since taking this ex

BAD SITUATION EITHER WAY
Victim of Conviviality in Poor Plight,
but Position of Monkey Was
Even Worse.
Poul Rainey was describing to a
New York reporter some of his ad-
ventures with lions in Nairobi
“Once near our bait of putrid meat,”
he said, “I awoke from a light doze
in the dawn to find a lion actually
sniffing at my feet. I reached for my
rifle and, with a ‘whoof, the lion was
gone.”
“You must have felt rather queer,”
saig the reporter.
“It is strange,” said Mr. Rainey,
“but the one thing that ran through
my mind was a story—a story about
@ man who had stayed out at a ban
quet very, very late. ‘This man awoke
in the dawn and saw, perched on the
foot of his bed, an organ grinder's
monkey that had climbed {n through
the window.
“His hands trembling, his eyes
bloodshot, the man drew his revolver
from beneath his pillow and said:
“If you're a real monkey it's a bad
lookout for you, and if you're not it's
a bad lookout for me.”
Unflattering.

naturedly at Good Ground:
“Mr. Croker's letter makes me feel
like the lady at the Norristown hotel.
This lady was plainly dressed, but she
did not think that she looked out of
place at the hotel's 75-cent table
d@hote, Yet her waiter, having set
before her a plate of soup and a plate
of fish simultaneously, bent down and
whispered in her ear:
“*Bat yer soup first.”

You can obtain Dr, Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at any drug store for fifty cents
or one dollar, the latter size being
bought by heads of families already
familiar with its merits. Results are
always guaranteed or money will be
refunded.
When you use Syrup Pepsin you will
see the fallacy of chewing mints and
tablets or of taking cathartics, salts,
pills and similar drastic medicines, Un-
lke these, Syrup Pepsin does not lose
its good effect, and by automatically
training the stomach and bowel mus
cles to do their work, soon restores
these organs to normal,
Families wishing to try a free same
ple bottle can obtain it postpaid by ade
dressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 203 Washe
ington St., Monticello, Ill. A postal
card with your name and address on Ig
will do.
