HISTORIC A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Tulsa-Okmulgee Nuptial To Be Big Social Event Rumored That Double Wedding May Take Place Sunday Morning Vol. 2, No 31 Tulsa-Okmulgee To Be Big Rumored That Dou Take Place Su Before the altar in the First Baptist church of Okmulgee, at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, a wedding ceremony will be performed which will terminate a happy courtship of four years standing and link two human hearts in a bond of new found joy which only students of Cupid's school is accustomed to experience. The groom will be Lawyer J. H. Roberts of this city, and the bride will be Miss Audia M. Hoard of Okmulgee. The event will cause the biggest social stir that Okmulgee has experienced in years. Among those who will attend the ceremony from this city are Dr. and Mrs. James, Lawyer and Mrs. Martin, Dr. J. J. McKeever, Prof. E. W. Woods and Prof. J. W.H. ughes, principals of the High School and the Dunbar schools respectively, Mr. and Mrs. Smitherman. Mr. Roberts is a graduate of the Fisk university and of the law department of the Chicago university. He is 38 years old and the bride-to-be is 24. Rev. T. H. Wiseman, pastor of the A. M. E. church of Okmulgee will officiate. It is being whispered on the streets of this city that there will be a double ceremony performed and that the second one will be that of a certain school man of this city and a popular school mistress of Okmulgee formerly, but who was recently appointed to a position in the school of this city. Just how the rumor was started no one seems to know and of course "Prof." smilingly denies the truth of the rumor. Posse Chases Assailant Posse Chases Assailant Warner, Okla., May 26—Two bands of armed men, several deputy sheriffs among the number, were closing in upon a thicket near here Monday, where Henry Alexander, a negro lies concealed protecting his position with a Winchester. The dsperate black has sent out word that he will die fighting. Alexander is accused of criminally assaulting Mrs. Mary Johnson a negress, at her home three miles from Oktaha on Saturday morning. After his deed was accomplished, Alexander is alleged to have broken into a nearby house and stolen a rifle, a revolver, with cartridges. Negroes immediately set out in pursuit, and since Saturday have chased the fugitive over into McIntosh county, and later Monday a band of white farmers reported to the sheriff's office here that they had the negro surrounded in the southern edge of Muskogee, four miles from Warner. Deputy Sheriff Jackson and Malney of Muskogee and Cain of Keefton left at 11 o'clock to assist in the black's capture, which will be brought about if possible before nightfall. Cornered. "That chaufeur was a great disap pointient." "Of course. And I advise you to do the same. It's the only way to get him to go peaceably." SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY MAY 29 1914 More Teachers Appointed Five more of the possible 17 teachers to be employed for the Colored schools of this city were elected at a meeting of the school board Monday evening as follows.

Teddy In The Game Again Teddy In The Game Again Will Open Campaign in Pennsylvania June 30 and Later Will Speak on the Coast. Washington, May 26.—"I shall be taking my part in the campaign this year." This was the promise of Col. Roosevelt in a formal statement here tonight in the presence of most of the progressives in congress. The Colonel announced that he had told Gov. Johnson he would go to California if necessary to help the progressive ticket and would do all else he could for the party. "I am not going to have any interview tonight, but there is a statement I want to make to the press." the Colonel said. "I came to Washington primarily to address the Geographical society, but secondly I wanted to see the progressive senators and representatives because I feel that peculiar debt of obligation is owing to them. "Men who face a crisis either are overwhelmed or grow in stature. You men have faced a real crisis. You have been tried as no other body in either house of congress has been tried for sixty years past, and by that I mean not since the first men that championed the principles that Abraham Lincoln championed came to congress. So I speak from my heart when I say that my original feeling of indignant sympathy with you has changed to a feeling of admiration, respect and a small degree of envy. Farmers To Have Picnic To the Farmers of Tulsa County: In behalf of the Boys and Girls' Cotton, Corn and Canning Clubs you are invited to meet with them at the Tulsa Fair Grounds Saturday, June 6, 1914. Bring your dinner and be prepared to enjoy an old fashioned farmers' picnic. Ice cream will be free. An excellent program is being arranged. Good horses will be there as a demonstration and will be lectured on. Also a canning demonstration and fruit will be canned on the grounds. Come and enjoy yourself and learn more about the work. J. B. The Burden Of Taxation The Burden Of Taxation No state was ever more bourdened by the politician than Oklahoma is at the present time. Vastly rich in resources, as it is, there is no logical reason why it should not have been and should be one of the very great states, rich in opportunity as in resources yet there are more burdened people to the population than any state its size. Kansas had her mortgaged burdened population some years ago, on account of misfortunes which man could not control but Oklahoma's people are burdened by conditions such, they could control if they would stop, consider and understand. A new state should be prosperous. Lands are cheap, markets should be good; people should be comfortable in their homes; children should be happy; if these conditions do not prevail, the people have not had fair treatment. Something's wrong in Oklahoma. The progress of the commercial interests is backwards. The politician is not serving his constituency. We need progress. The new brand of progress, which makes peace, happiness and prosperity. That progress which repudiates good citizenship by law; that progress which defies one man to do the best that is in him, is stagnation. Oklahoma cannot overstep the conditions which have made other states prosper. No city can do less than follow the conditions which have insured the growth of the great centers. Civilization is the same throughout. There are no exceptions to rules. LEWIS Candidate for the Office of County Tulsa Mr. Cline has lived in Tulsa county fifteen years. For the last two years he has served the people of this county as Register: of Deeds. He has filled this office with a marked degree of efficiency and because of the courteous treatment he has accorded the public in the performance of his duty has made many friends. The last legislature consolidated the offices of County Clerk and Register of Deeds, and the two offices 12,000 Harvest Hands Wanted In Oklahoma U. S. Government Will Send Men to Help Gather Bigest Crop In History of State Appealing to the Secretary of Labor, W. B. Wilson, at Washington, for aidthrough government channels in obtaining 12,000 or 15,000 harvest hands to work in Oklahoma, State Labor CommissionerC. L. Daugherty and his assistant, W. G. Ashton, are hopeful that the labor condition in Oklahoma will be relieved next week when the wheat harvest becomes a reality and converts the golden fields of waving grain into potential food products for a hungry nation. Assistant Commissioner Ashton has just returned from a trip over the state and announces that the first cutting of wheat will take place along Red River some time next week, to be followed by a harvest that will sweep across the state to the Kansas line and reap the greatest wheat crop in Oklahoma's history. Work in Sight. When asked Monday about the period of work in sight for men who might come to Oklahoma to engage in harvesting Mr. Daugherty said: "It is safe to predict that 12,000 to 15,000 men can obtain work in this state in gathering and marketing the wheat crop in June. Also it is safe to say that eighty per cent of those men can obtain steady employment in Oklahoma fields for a period of not less CLINE Clerk-Ex-officio Register of Deeds County. combined will be under one head, County Clerk-Ex-officio Register of Deeds. Since his office has been consolidated with that of County Clerk, he now desires to succeed himself with the additional burdens of the new office. The people of Tulsa will doubtless follow the rule and elect Mr. Cline to a second term as a mark of appreciation of his faithfulness and efficiency. Hands ed In Oklahoma Will Send Men to st Crop In Histo- State than four months, since the cutting of thousands of acres of alfalfa will follow as closely after the wheat harvest as it is possible for men and machinery to cut and bale the alfalfa. "The enormous increase in the number of silos in the state causes the labor situation to be more perplexing, since Oklahoma will raise more feed crops this year than in any past year since Oklahoma became known as the most resourceful agricultural state, and I can see the need of a small army of men to work on Oklahoma farms until the early autumn. "Our department has asked the emigration agents of the various railroads to send men to help in the harvest fields. Also, we have asked for help from employment agencies in eastern states. If our appeals are responded to like we think they will be, then the agricultural communities of Oklahoma will be the busiest places in the whole nation for the next four months." Federal Government to Help Secure Harvest Hands for Oklahoma. State Labor Commissioner Chas. L. Daugherty, who with his assistant, W. G. Ashton, is making efforts to obtain harvest hands to help the farmers of the state, is in receipt of a message from th department of commerce at Washington promising aid in the movement to add to the wealth of Oklahoma. Following is the message: "Washington, D. C., May 26, 1914. Charles L. Daugherty, "State Labor Commissioner, "Oklahoma City. "Replying to your telegram I have directed the division of information of the immigration service of this department to prepare bulletins containing information that you furnish and same to all first, second and third class post offices in the United States. I have also given the information to the press and have arranged with the postmaster general to see that bulletins are placed before the public when need of harvest hands no longer exists. Please notify this department so that notice to the public may be given. "W. B. WILSON, "Secretary Department of Labor. CROP CONDITIONS Reports from various sections of the state are that in the river bottoms cotton has been damaged by overflow and many farmers have been compelled to plant their crops over. Upon the higher lands, the weather has been favorable and the crops have been hoed out and there are excellent prospects for a good crop, in case insects do not show up. NO NEGROES WANTED. The Republicans of Okfuskee county in which county Boley is situated, held a convention last week and in this convention there was not a negro delegate. The citizens of Boley have a Republican organization, a Republican city administration and a Republican postmaster and yet they had no representation in the party convention last week.

"What do those letters stand for?" asked a curious wife of her husband, as she looked at his Masonic seal. "Well, really, my love," he replied, encouragingly, "I presume it is because they can't sit down." The Mischief of It. Irving Bacheller, at the one hundred and eighth annual dinner of the New England society, said of literary refinement: "There is another unfortunate class of writers whose point of view is too refined, too lofty, for the general public to understand. It is the fate of these poor chaps to starve in garrets. "A case, you see, of the prophet who is without honor in his own country—and the mischief of it is with such prophets that they never have the money to go abroad." Notable Difference A good story is told of Signor Mattei, the composer, whose death was announced the other day. Of one of his valses Mattei used to tell the yarn how he played it through at a soiree in a certain London drawing room, when his hostess approached him with the request that he would play it. Mattei, of course, explained as tactfully as possible that he had already just played it. The hostess, quite unmoved, then said:— "Oh! but that is not the real 'Mattei Valse.' My daughter plays that, and it is not a bit like what you just played." Toastie Flavour A Winner Every day many are finding out that Post Toasties are different from other "ready to eat" foods.

"So you're thinking of building here," said the postmistress, leaning out through the wicket. "Well, you'll find Glen Cove a nice little town for such as minds their own business. That is to say, it used to be nice, before the summer people came. Now it's a hive of gossip—fairly makes me tired. "I don't see why those summer people who build houses here can't mind their own business, but it just seems as though they can't. They're always talking about us and poking fun at our ways, and what are they themselves? Take old Mr. Hodges, for instance. He has that big white house on the hill, and they say he's worth ten millions-all of it etolen in dishonest business deals. Then there's Mrs. Jetley, down by the shore. They say her husband married her at the point of a pistol. I don't know: I hope it isn't true. "As I was saying, Glen Cove used to be a nice little town before the summer people came along and began building here. Now there's that Mrs. Alfred Perkins. Her husband made his fortune in oll. When they built here I started to be friendly with them, not knowing that they were as bad as the rest. Young Tom Perkins seemed kind of sweet on Milly Watts, the daughter of our expressman. They used to stroll along the shore together. I used to hire Milly sometimes to clean up for me; the Wattses didn't have so much money in those days, when the summer people were only just beginning to settle here. "Well, of course everybody in Glen Cove wondered what there could be between Tom Perkins and Milly. It stands to reason a rich man's son isn't meaning very much when he goes round with a poor girl like Milly. Folks used to talk about it, as they will, you know, but I'm no gossip and nobody ever heard me say an unkind word about anybody. "When fall came, the Perkinses departed for New York, taking Tom with them. After that Milly sort of pindled. Tom Perkins used to write to her every day or two, and I didn't like handing her those letters. It seemed to me it was my duty to tear 'em up, only the A "It Ain't Right to Keep Glen Cove in the Dark." government's mighty hard to deal with if they catch you interfering with the mails. But naturally I felt my responsibility. "I put it fairly to the girl one day. 'Milly,' I said, 'folks are saying that there's more between you and Tom Perkins than you've been giving out. It ain't right to keep Glen Cove in the dark, and you'd best say what you have to." "She just looked at me and laid down her broom and walked out of my house without a word. She never came back. She had the most impudent look on her face—just as though I hadn't been minding my own business. "I'll admit that hurt me some, after the interest I'd taken in her. The Wattses didn't like her any too well, for Watts' second wife was her stepmother, and Watts was a good deal under her thumb. So after I'd voiced my suspicions about our town she didn't have much of a place to turn to—just slunk along the street holding her head high out of bravado. "That couldn't last, and along about Christmas time she disappeared. I reckon Glen Cove was mighty glad to be rid of the baggage. You see, we're a moral and God-fearing folk up here, and if there's one thing we can't tolerate, next to immorality, it's deceitfulness. "Summer came around and the summer folks came back to their houses. Tom Greeley, who has charge of the Perkins house, got to work cleaning up. Some of us had expressed doubts whether the Perkinses would come back, but they did, as brazen as ever. I had been having a talk with old man Watts, and as soon as Mr. and Mrs. Perkins arrived—which they did in a sneaking sort of way, by automobile, after dark when nobody could see them—I went in to have a frank talk with them, as a good neighbor should. "Good morning, Miss Pray,' says Mrs. Perkins, in her brisk way. 'We're glad to see you again. And what's the gossip of Glen Cove?' "I'm not in the habit of carrying gossip, Mrs. Perkins,' I answers, a little miffed by her words, 'but I guess there's going to be a surprise ahead of you and Mr. Perkins, and especially your son Tom, who, I take it, won't show his face around here this summer." "O, yes, indeed, Mr. Thomas is here in this house at this moment," answers Mrs. Perkins. "Wouldn't you like to see him?" "No, I thank you," I answered. "What I have to say might as well be said now. Mr. Watts is going to sue you for the loss of his daughter." "How's that?" asks Mr. Perkins, looking up from his newspaper. "What's the charge. Miss Pray?" "I couldn't put it into English, being a lady,' I repiled witheringly, 'but it's concerned with your son and his daughter. There isn't any doubt in the minds of people around here that he's abducted her, and that's a crime in this state. That girl was the apple of Mr. Watts' eye, and he's taken her loss real hard. He says he's going to shoot your son, or else he'll take fifty thousand dollars, and he won't compromise.' "Do you mean Milly?' asks Mrs. Perkins, looking at me in a curious sort of way. "I believe that was the creature's name, Mrs. Perkins,' I answered. 'Mind,' I added, 'I'm only telling you this as a good neighbor should, because, to my mind, I think Glen Cove is well rid of her.' "I guess you'd better see Mr. Thomas after all,' says Mr. Perkins, rising, but before he had got out of his chair the door opened and Tom Perkins came in. He was whistling, just as though his conscience was at perfect peace and rest. "Why, how do you do, Miss Pray!" he exclaimed, and I was so flabbergasted at his easy manner that I didn't know what to say. "I believe I'm all right, thank you, Mr. Tom,' I answered, laying the emphasis on the "I." "Well, I'm all right, too,' he answered, 'and I've got an old friend of yours outside I'd like to have you meet again. Milly! Milly!' he called. And the girl came tripping into the room as bold as brass. "She'd gone through a transformation scene since last I saw her, for she was all dressed up in a silk gown that looked as if it had cost forty or fifty dollars, and her hair was all done up immodest like on the top of her head, and it wasn't any improvement. "My son's wife, Miss Pray," says Mrs. Perkins, introducing us. "Yes, they've been married since the New Year, and I guess it's you that gets the surprise and not us." "Well, there wasn't anything more to say, and so I didn't say it. But since then I haven't had much use for the summer people here, and as for gossip—well, they're the meanest, noopiest lot I ever heard of." (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Was Ald of John Wesley. Dr. Thomas Coke, one of the first and most famous of the missionary bishops of the Methodist church, died 100 years ago on a ship in the Indian ocean, and was buried at sea. A native of Wales, Dr. Coke in early life became a co-worker of John Wesley, and, as much as Wesley himself, he is regarded as the property of the world of Methodism. It was he who organized the Methodist church and secured for it a legal standing. It was he also who founded Methodist missions in British possessions, in America and India, and it was he who finally founded Methodist education and literary work. Bishop Coke paid nine visits to America, and came to be known on this side of the Atlantic as the "foreign minister of Methodism." Had the Laugh on Stephens. The story is told of Alexander H. Stephens that at a political meeting he vigorously decried his opponent's charge, exclaiming, "I deny the fact!" "Yes," promptly replied his antagonist, "that is what I expected you to do. For twenty years you have been going around denying facts." The audience roared with delight and Mr. Stephens left the hall, having learned a valuable lesson in the use of a word. Knew the Sex. When a woman canvasser asked an old farmer to sign a petition in favor of a woman's movement, he eyed the document for a while with suspicion. "No, I'm agin' it, sure," was the reply, with the emphasis of a man who had had some domestic infelicity. "A woman who's allus a-movin' is allus a-gettin' in trouble. If you got anything to keep her quiet I'll sign it." Seeds not sufficiently ripe will float in water, but when arrived at full maturity they will sink to the bottom, and this is proof that they are good to plant. METHODISTS TO HOLD VANDERBILT PLANS MADE TO HAVE PATRONIZING CONFERENCES CONTINUE THE FIGHT. GENERAL CONFERENCE CLOSES Plans Formed To Create Two New Theological Schools—Laity Rights Denied to Women—"Holy Catholic Church" Retained. Oklahoma City.—The seventeenth quadrennial general assembly of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which has been in session for three weeks past, adjourned sine die, after passing hundreds of matters of minor and several of major importance. The entire college of bishops, all the connectional officers, about five hundred ministers and laymen, as many alternates and several thousand visitors have been here for three weeks, attending the sessions. The assembly was also honored by the visits of fraternal delegates from the Methodist churches of England, Japan, China, Canada, the northern and the colored church. The biggest piece of legislation before the assembly was the settlement of the Vanderbilt controversy. This was up for discussion for a number of sessions and was decided and reconsidered several times, before it was finally determined to transfer the control, real or "negligible," from the general conference to the eight patronizing conferences which had the control previous to 1895. It is held by a majority of the delegates that further legal action to upset the decision of the Tennessee Supreme Court can be better prosecuted by these conferences than by the general conference and it is the understanding that the matter will be fought to a finish with the general conference footing the bills. However, all contributions whatever by the church or patronizing conferences will be shut off from the University until final settlement of the matter. A commission was appointed to conduct future negotiations and also to make plans for a new University at Dallas and one in the southeast, in case Vanderbilt is finally lost. As a side issue to the Vanderbilt controversy, an effort to remove the publishing house of the church from Nashville to some other point, was voted down. The suffrage movement was blamed for promoting the proposition to grant full laity rights to women and this proposition was voted down by a very small majority. Next to Vanderbilt matter, the topic which took most discussion was on the abolition of the phrase "holy Catholic church" from the creed, but the change was not made. On account of the misunderstanding of the younger members who confused the phrase with the Roman Catholic church, it was proposed to substitute the "Church of God," but the proposition did not carry. Another change, however, was made in phraseology. Hereafter maidens who marry in the M. E. Church, South, will not get a "man" but a "husband." The "man and wife" in the marriage ritual was changed to "husband and wife." Bishop A. L. Wilson was retired and placed on the superannuated list. No new bishops were elected. The next assembly will likely be held in Atlanta, but this was left to a committee to decide. The new connectional officers elected were: Publishing Agents, R. M. Smith and Dr. A. J. Lamar; Book Editor, Rev. Gross Alexander; Editor Nashville Christian Advocate, Dr. T. N. Ivey; Sunday School Editor, Dr. E. B. Chappell; Missionary Secretary, W. W. Pinson; Secretary of Board of Church Extension, Rev. W. F. McMurry; Epworth League Secretary, Rev. F. S. Parker; Secretary of Education. Dr. Stonewall Anderson. All of these were re-elected. CHAS. BECKER IS FOUND GUILTY Jury Spends Only Short Time De liberating; Five Ballots Taken. New York—Twelve men decided for the second time that Charles Becker was the arch conspirator responsible for the Rosenthal murder, which nearly two years ago woke New York to a realization of corruption in the police department and opened a new era of police reform. Becker once a police lieutenant, was found guilty of murder in the first degree. Only a pardon or interference again by the court of appeals can save him from going to the electric chair following the four gnmen who shot Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, early on the morning of July 16, 1912. The jury decided that the gunmen were Becker's agents. Clothes are expensive —rubbing wears them out quickly—stop rubbing—use RUB-NOMORE CARBO NAPTHA SOAP. "Carbo" kills germs. Prevents sickness.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MAY 31 THE GRATEFUL SAMARITAN. LESSON TEXT-Luke 17:11-19. GOLDEN TEXT-Were there none found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger?" Luke 17:18. Jesus and his party are on their last journey to Jerusalem, a most eventful journey. It led him between Samaria and Gallilee (v. 11, marg.) and into, or through, an unknown, unnamed village. To us this is the most heroic and momentous moment in history. Jesus knew that his hour was at hand. He knew all that awaited him in Jerusalem, yet he "set his face as a flint" and nothing could turn him from his purpose, his crowning work. Jesus, however, was never too busy or in too great haste to do a deed of compassionate mercy. The Type of Sin: 1. A Great Need, vv. 11-14.—We are familiar with the awfulness of leprosy and that it is a type of sln. Like sln, leprosy begins within, is insidious in its progress; it defies, shuts men out of the society of the clean. It renders its victims helpless and hopeless, has no remedy and receives no help from men; in consumes and finally kills. This was a terrible spectacle that greeted Jesus' eyes as he entered the village, for these lepers were compelled to live on the outside. Notice (v. 12) that they stood "afar off" (Eph. 2:13), indeed, so far off that they were compelled to "lift their voices" in order to make known their request, although it may have been that the disease had reached their vocal organs. The Mosaic law compelled the leper thus to stand afar off, Lev. 13:45, 46. Their salutation was the cry of the needy made to one in authority. The word "Master" here used is not that which usually means teacher, but rather one that would be applied to one in authority, an appointee or a commander. They must have either recognized his power or, having heard of his miracles they appealed to him to exercise a like power on their behalf. There was no other who could possibly give them relief, even so the sinners' only hope is to meet Jesus. He, and he alone, can cleanse them from their uncleanness and wretchedness. Jesus never passed that way again, this was their only opportunity. Their need drove them to him. Offtimes our distress and need are blessings in disguise in that they drive us to Jesus. Though afar off, and though only one drew nigh (v. 16), yet it was the privilege of them all, as it is also our privilege to "draw nigh," Eph. 2:13. Their cry did not fall upon deaf ears (Isa. 59:1). It was a brief, but to the point, petition. They knew what they needed and drove straight to the point. Their appeal to his mercy met with immediate response, so also will the cry of the needy sinner meet with a like response (Rom. 10:13). The record does not tell us about the faith of these men and it is useless for us to speculate. The cry of faith will have its answer, Matt. 9:29. Their prayer was brief, it must have been humble, believing, earnest and specific, for when "he saw them" (v. 14) he gave directions as to the manner whereby they might be cleansed. He could have spoken or have touched them, but his way at that time was to utter a command. This resulted in (a) a fulfilling of the law, (b) a test for their faith, (c) a testimony to the priests. They showed their genuine earnestness by immediate obedience, they took him at his word. The record is wonderfully suggestive, "as they went they were cleansed." Faith and works, obedience and results. When we act upon his simple yet sublime word we, too, will receive a blessed answer to our every need. As we look to him, our great high priest, as we take our eyes off of self, we shall be cleansed, John 14:21, 23. Bore Witness Before Men. II. A Grateful Heart, vv. 15-19.—The revelation of cleansing brought different results to these lepers. "One of them" came back at once to express his gratitude. Before he could scarcely speak his petition, now he cries with a "loud voice." This is a suggestion as to the completeness of his cure. He at once uses his restored voice to "glorify God," and it looks as though he bore this witness before he testified to men; (a) being-healed seems also to have opened his eyes as to the character of Jesus. He not only returned thanks, but "worshipped him." Nor does Jesus refuse to accept such worship—an evidence of his delity, see Acts 15:25,26; John 5:23 and Heb. 1:6. REMARKABLE CASE of Mrs. HAM Declares Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Saved Her Life and Sanity. Shamrock, Mo.—"I feel it my duty to tell the public the condition of my health before using your medicine. I had falling, inflammation and congestion, female weakness, pains in both sides, backaches and bearing down pains, was short of memory, nervous, impatient, passed sleepless nights, and had needed before using your medicine. I had falling, inflammation and congestion, female weakness, pains in both sides, backaches and bearing down pains, was short of memory, nervous, impatient, passed sleepless nights, and had neither strength nor energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that was so sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I certainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my house, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home."—Mrs. Josie HAM, R.

PROVED TRUTH OF ADAGE Story Seems to Show Fact That "Prophet Is Without Honor in His Own Country. William Phelps Eno, who devised the system of traffic regulations now practised in New York, and who has been called the "father of street traffic regulation," had a hard time at first impressing his ideas on public officials. Foreign cities appreciated them more than American cities. Paris, threatened with a strike of the cab drivers unless the system of Eno were put in effect, adopted it. Then Buenos Ayres sent for Mr. Eno, asked him to work out a plan for its traffic, and agreed to every suggestion he made. A year or two later Mr. Eno was introduced, as a traffic regulation authority, to a much-traveled resident of Washington. The globe-trotter shook hands with him, and then said in a rather patronizing manner: "If you want to know what's what in a street-traffic system, Mr. Eno, you ought to see the way they do the trick in Buenos Ayres." A Nice Baby. "I understand that you have a very fine new baby brother," said the minister. "Yes, sir," replied young Percy. "He is a nice baby." "And," continued the minister, "I hope he is a good baby." "Oh, I guess he is," said Percy dubiously. "He don't smoke or drink any, but sometimes he seems to me to swear some." Queer Cusses. Stranger—How odd. Why are all these men walking about with cuspidors hanging around their necks? Citizen—Well, you see, we have started the "city beautiful" movement and it's against the law to expectorate upon the streets.

STAR ALL HAD TO BE IDENTIFIED Conscientious Philippine Judge Would Have No Doubt as to Ownership of Clothes. An officer of the war department who has seen service in the Philippines, tells a curious story as to the native ideas of justice in those islands. An American had come home one day just in time to witness a thief in the act of climbing out of a window with the better part of the American's wardrobe. The latter gave chase so earnestly that the thief was finally obliged to drop the clothing so that he might run the faster. He soon disappeared from sight. The American gathered up his belongings. Just then along came a native policeman who proceeded to place the American under arrest, since he acted in a most suspicious manner. To the local magistrate before whom he was haled the American told his story very plainly and emphatically. When he had concluded the Filipino judge said: "You are dismissed, but you may leave the clothes here." "Why?" demanded the American. "For this reason," answered the magistrate, with the air of a sage, "that it is uncertain that you speak the truth. When the thief returns to identify these clothes as the ones he stole, you may have them."—The Green Bag. "Carmen Gold." Carmen Sylva, queen of Roumania, who is now a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, visited Ireland thirty years ago. On landing at Kingstown, her majesty was met by the famous newsvendor, Davy Stephens, who greeted her with, "All hail, Carmen Sylva! Sure, there never was a country in the world where your majesty could meet a finer lot of boys of your Christian name." The queen smiled, accepted a copy of his biography, and gave him half a sovereign. Whereupon Davy, turning to the cab rank, joyfully exclaimed, "It's a mistake, boys. Sure it's Carmen Gold she should be called." Honest. A story is told on a young man who was married recently to the daughter of a wealthy merchant. The bride-groom did not have a cent, but he made up for lack of wealth in honesty. He was so very honest that he would not even prevaricate in the marriage ceremony. He was repeating what the minister read: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow." "With all thy worldly goods I me endow," repeated the young man. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, still it would be hard for honesty to go much further.—New York Times. Love of the Forest. The only way to love the forest is to stay in it, until you have learned its pathless travel, growth and inhabitants as you know the fields. You must begin at the gate and find your way slowly, else you will not hear the great secret and see the compelling vision. There are trees you never before have seen, flowers and vines the botanists fail to mention, and such music as your ears cannot hear elsewhere.—Gene Stratton Porter. Proof Positive. The young husband laid down his piece of cake and looked across the table at his wife. "Do you know, dear," he said, "I think something is wrong with the cake you made. It really doesn't taste very good." "Ah, that's your imagination," said his wife, with a triumphant smile, "for it says in the cookbook that it's delicious."—Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung. A Headline.

BUILT TO SUIT THE EYES Professor Gives Several Hints, Worth Consideration, on Conservation The first consideration of the builders of schools, churches, factories and theaters should be for the eyes and eyesight of the persons who will use these buildings, according to Dr. Clarence Loeb of St. Louis, who spoke recently on "The Conservation of Vision." Doctor Loeb, assistant professor of ophthalmology in St. Louis university, gave this lecture as one of a series under the auspices of the American Medical association, which is carrying on an educational campaign now. One person out of every 1,000 is blind and five per cent of these cases of blindness are hereditary, according to Doctor Loeb. It has been found by statistics that 58 per cent of the children of parents afflicted with cataract of the eye are also afflicted. Besides cataract, there are 11 other diseases of the eye that are hereditary. A common means of carrying eye infection, according to Doctor Loeb, is the roller towel. Books also are transmitters of infection. Industrial accidents to the eye are common, such as injuries likely to happen to the eye of lye workers, glass blowers, stone workers, masons and steel and iron workers. These workers should be made to wear goggles or put a screen between their work and their eyes, the speaker said.—University Missourian. DISFIGURED WITH PIMPLES R. F. D. No. 2, Box 46, Matthews, Ga.—"For three years or more I was troubled with pimples and blackheads. At first my face would itch and burn and then the pimples would break out. They looked almost as if I had measles, causing great disfigurement. They would make my face very red and sore. Then they festered and came to a head and large boils would come on my chin and nose. "I also had dandruff which caused my scalp to itch and burn. It itched and burned so that I had to scratch it until it was irritated. The dandruff scaled off and showed plainly in my hair. It also caused my hair to break off and become very thin. I used several remedies which did not cure and gave but little relief.

Fortunately for the Negroes of this country, we are rapidly becoming diversified in our politics. We realize that we have friends in all the parties, and all the parties are gradually realizing that they have friends among the Negroes. Negro democrats used to be almost as scarce as hen's teeth, but it is a common thing now to find Negroes in the ranks of democracy, working with the same fervency, faithfulness and loyalty that he once gave the "grand old republican party."

Lawless, Jr., pastor of University church, and President E. M. Stevens of Straight university have returned to Washington from the National Congregational convention held in Washington. A large delegation was present from all sections of the United States. Four national Congregational societies were represented in the convention, viz: The National Congregational council, the Congregational Church Building society, the Sunday School and Publication society and the American Missionary association. The Southern negro is working out his own salvation, not in terms of politics, not in terms of formal education, but in terms of property ownership and mainly in terms of land in the rural regions. He is doing this with out let or hindrance in the South largely aside from the awareness of the whites, largely because of their difference, but even more largely with the sympathy and help of his white friends and neighbors. He is liftting himself by tugging at his own boot straps, a figure commonly used to indicate an impossible something; but in civilization it is in this way. The American Missionary association is carrying on a most extensive work among the colored people. It is now conducting and maintaining 64 schools for the colored people in the South, with an enrollment of 14,000 under the direction of 600 trained teachers. The churches among the colored people of the South number 206, with a membership of 15,000. A most aggressive program for the further extension of church work, for better equipment of school buildings, and higher efficiency in school work was adopted. The new program calls for greater local initiative, a more discriminating missionary support, a larger number of self-supporting churches, increased activities in social service in urban and rural centers, closer supervision of the field and a Sunday school superintendent for the colored schools in the south. Rev. Sterling M. Brown of Washington was elected president of the convention. Rev. H. H. Proctor, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., was elected secretary. The next convention will meet at Talladega college, Talladega, Ala. Although she is only thirty-one years old, Mrs. Winfield Stoner of Quarryville, Pa., is the mother of nine children, and in a competition with 350 others she was proclaimed the champion cake baker. A final word on the subject of our personal responsibility as an executive council to the churches seems to be needed, says a correspondent of the Standard. It has been suggested that the executive council should ignore all organizations among the churches and deal directly with local churches. In many cases that may be the fair and proper way to operate, but I am firmly convinced that the experiences of the executive council in its work as well as the present needs of the negro churches only tend to emphasize the advisability of using our friendly offices to secure among the negro churches such an organization of forces as will win the respect and the regard of possible benefactors and make it possible for us to do through them as a group force, what we are confident that we could do less satisfactorily if we dealt with them separately and ignored that important and essential relationship which they have with one another. Miss Cristie Holmberg has been elected clerk in Santa Barbara, Cal., by an overwhelming majority over her male opponent. The Southern negro is working out his own salvation, not in terms of politics, not in terms of formal education, but in terms of property ownership; and mainly in terms of land in the rural regions. He is doing this without let or hindrance in the South, largely aside from the awareness of the whites, largely because of their indifference, but even more largely with the sympathy and help of his white friends and neighbors. He is lifting himself by tugging at his own boot straps, a figure commonly used to indicate an impossible something; but in civilization, as in education, it is the only possible means of elevation. The negro is emerging from jungleism and winning civilization mainly and necessarily by his own efforts. His progress every inch of the way is marked by struggle—struggle within himself for mastery over himself and struggle outward, surrounding circumstances. The negro problem will not be solved by editorials, creeds or statutes; by conferences, congresses or assemblies; by pride, prejudice or passion. The development of the negro can be stimulated, safeguarded and directed wisely and beneficently. The stream of tendencies can be kept clear of injustice and cruelty, brutality and inhumanity, and it will be so if we have any Christianity worth the name.—Dr. E. C. Branson in the Southern Workman. A plea to the Methodist Episcopal church, South, asking it to take a deeper interest in the affairs of the colored Methodist Episcopal church is contained in the quadrennial address of bishops which was made at a general conference of the colored church at St. Louis. When a woman is in love with a man she'll listen to what he says—just as if he were saying something. Well worth consideration is this extract from an editorial in the Chicago Record-Herald: "The problem is to educate these grown-up children into mental and moral maturity. That is no easy task. Rather it is an arduous effort to which many a life must be given, and it will never be helped along by oratory, but only by the patient teaching of line upon line, precept upon precept, till the fundamentals of honesty, thrift, thoroughness and keeping one's word have been drilled into their understanding and worked out by them in practise. To that end such a humble and patient propaganda as Booker Washington's, aiming to make the blacks into well-behaved citizens and good workers, honest and reliable, is worth all the oratory of Demosthenes and Clecero and Alexander L. Jackson combined." Strikes and lockouts in Rhode Island during 1913 caused a loss of $122.855 to wage-earners and about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in value of production to employers, according to the report of the commissioner of industrial statistics. TULSA. OKLA. STAR TAP LINES' GIVEN RATE PRIVILEGES SUPREME COURT HOLDS ILLEGAL RULE OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE BODY. LARGE TITANIC CLAIMS DEFEATED Steamship Company Held Liable Only For Salvage Recovered.—British Law Held Not Applicable To the Case Washington.—Another attempt by the government to separate the ownership of railroads from industrial concerns met with failure when the supreme court held that "tap line" railways, serving lumber camps in the southwest, owned by the same interests, were entitled to share with the trunk lines in through rates. The interstate commerce commission had held this division of the rate was in effect a rebate and ordered it discontinued. In effect the court held that the tap lines were common carriers as to both proprietary and non-proprietary business, and that the ownership did not change their character when hauling commodities produced by a company in common ownership. The recently abolished commerce court held in this case that "the commission was not only without power to forbid any allowance whatever to be made by a trunk line, to a proprietary railway, but it also was without power to prohibit the making of joint rates by the trunk lines and the petitioning tap lines." The decision did not come as a surprise to the interstate commerce commission. Members of the commission were well pleased with that part of the opinion holding that the commission has full power to prevent preferences and discriminations in the fixing of allowances and divisions of rates. Work for Commission. This leaves to the commission the fixing of allowances based upon the character of the service; that is whether it is switching or a line-haul service. It can prevent a milling-intransit privilege which makes no charge for the haul of the logs, and may require a charge by the tap lines for a log from forest to mill, in addition to the full lumber rate from mill to market. The Titanic Cases. As a result of the decision by the supreme court, practically nothing may be recovered by those who lost relatives or baggage in the Titanic disaster. The court held that liability of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co. on $13,000,000 in claims against it as owner of the Titanic is limited in suits in the United States by the American limited liability laws of 1851 to the value of salvage recovered and freight and passage money which amounts to about $91,000. The decision in no way affects suits brought against owners in other countries. Whether the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co., owner of the steamship Titanic, was obliged to pay damage claims for loss of life and property occasioned by the sinking of the ship on April 14, 1912, was the question involved in the case decided by the court. The company claimed that under American law it was not liable, except for a comparatively small sum representing the passage money and freight and salvage. The claimants contended that the British law should be followed, making the steamship company liable. In behalf of the claimants William J. Mellor, a British subject, and Harry Anderson, an American, filed suit in the federal district court of New York, claiming the company was liable under the British law. The court held in their favor. An appeal was taken to the federal court of appeals for the second circuit and that court certified the case on three questions of law to the supreme court. The Titanic, on its maiden voyage from England to the United States, hit an iceberg. The company claimed that it had made every effort to make the ship seaworthy, and that the fatal collision was "due to inevitable accident," and "not to negligence." A committee of the United States senate, which made an investigation, reported that the ship was without sufficient life-saving apparatus and that there had been negligence on the part of the officers and crew. The company's petition stated that while $13,000,000 in claims had been filed against it. $91,805.54 represented the total interest of the company in what was left after the accident.

Bowen, of this town, makes the following statement: "For 20 years I suffered with womanly troubles, and although I tried different treatments, I did not get any relief. I was unable to look after any of my work, and my friends thought I could not get well. Finally, I began to take Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I hadn't taken one-third of the first bottle, before I could notice its good effects. Now I can do all my work, feel like I'm not more than 16 years old, but am really 49. My own friends say I look so well, they don't recognize me when we meet in the road. My daughter is using Cardul, and she says it is a fine medicine. I also have a number of lady friends taking it, since they found out how it helped me. Whenever I feel a little fatigued after a day's extra hard work, I just take a dose of Cardul and am all right. I can't say too much for Cardul." Thousands of women who now suffer from womanly troubles, could be relieved and benefited, by following Mrs. Bowen's example. Are you of this number? If so, try Cardul today. It cannot harm you, and is almost sure to do you good. At the nearest drug store.—Adv. Any insurance is good so long as it is not needed. For wire cuts use Hanford's Balsam Adv.

One hundred years ago the negotiations for the definite treaty of peace between France and the allies were practically concluded. Two days later the treaty, which is known in history as the Peace of Paris, was ratified by the powers. The king of Prussia and the emperors of Russia and Austria took part personally in the negotiations, which Lord Castlereagh was present as the representative of the English sovereign. The treaty of Paris did little more than ratify the peace following the abdication of Napoleon and provide for the restoration of the French frontiers to the limits of 1792. The great European questions as to the new formation of states lately conquered or dismembered by Napoleon, were mostly referred to the congress which was soon to meet in Vienna. DID THE WORK Grew Strong on Right Food You can't grow strong by merely exercising. You must have food—the kind you can digest and assimilate. Unless the food you eat is digested it adds to the burden the digestive organs have naturally to carry. This often means a nervous breakdown. "About a year ago," writes a Mass. lady, "I had quite a serious nervous breakdown caused, as I believed, by overwork and worry. I also suffered untold misery from dyspepsia. "First I gave up my position, then I tried to find a remedy for my troubles, something that would make me well and strong, something to rest my tired stomach and build up my worn-out nerves and brain. "I tried one kind of medicine after another, but nothing seemed to help me. "Finally a friend suggested change of food and recommended Grape-Nuts. With little or no faith in it, I tried a package. That was eight months ago and I have never been without it since. "Grape-Nuts did the work. It helped me grow strong and well.

REBELS FIGHT ON TOWARD CAPITOL HUERTAS EVACUATE SALTILLO CARRANZANS GAINING ON WEST COAST. VILLA DRIVES ALL BEFORE HIM Peace Mediators Begin Their Conference at Niagara Falls—Carranza to Send a Delegate After All Washington. — No communications are passing between American delegates at Niagara Falls and Washington and the machinery of the Mexican mediation conference is working smoothly. Despite conflicting reports regarding the resignation of General Huerta assurance in official circles persisted that Huerta had placed himself unreservedly in the hands of his delegates at Niagara Falls, and that if necessary as a last resort they could announce his retirement, though on conditions. Federals Evacuate Saltillo. While the mediation negotiations are developing the constitutionalist campaign is progressing vigorously. Senior Zubaran, General Carranza's Washington representative received an official message announcing the evacuation of Saltillo. It gave no details but it was believed here the 12,000 evacuating federals were retreating to San Luis Potosi, to join federalers who evacuated Tampico and Tuxpam. The constitutionalist force that captured Tampico has withdrawn from Tampico, except for a small garrison, and is hurrying back to Monterey to participate in the general campaign against Huerta's strongholds in central Mexico. The constitutionalist campaign on the Pacific side seems also to be making progress. Part of General Obregon's force was reported advancing against Guadalajara and official dispatches to the navy department reported heavy volley firing at Mazatlan and Guaymas. Carranza to Participate. The constitutionalists are preparing to send a representative to Niagara Falls. This will be done with the distinct understanding the representative is to give information as to General Carranza's purpose without committing the constitutionalists to any plan for the pacification of Mexico that the mediators may determine upon. Jose Vasconcelos, now at Montreal, on a financial mission for General Carranza, is understood to be the man chosen to go to Niagara Falls. The mediators are encouraged considerably by the fact that the Mexican delegates have full powers to act on all questions affecting the internal peace as well as international peace of their country. The South American envoys realize that the Mexican commissioners also have private instructions from General Huerta dealing with the exercise of plenary powers and that certain vital points will have to be referred to General Huerta for decision T. ROOSEVELT WELCOMED HOME Reaches New York Wtih Tale of New River and Unknown Animals. New York.—Theodore Roosevelt has returned home from his visit of many months to South America. Accompanied by the two naturalists of his party, George K. Cherry and Leo E. Miller, he arrived from Para at quarantine on board the Booth liner Aaldan. Friends who had been alarmed by reports of Colonel Roosevelt's severe illness were greatly surprised when they saw him. He was noticeably thinner and he used a cane, but his face wore a healthy tan and he apparently had not lost an ounce of his vigor and energy. After stopping ten days in this country Mr. Roosevelt will go to Spain to attend the wedding of his son. Kermit. With a few crisp sentences, Colonel Roosevelt reaffirmed the verity of the "river of doubt," curtly denied having expressed himself as to presidential probabilities for 1916, declared he would not run for governor of New York, made a few deprecatory remarks about his critics and with harbor craft tooting and flags fluttering, was taken on board a tug which proceeded to Oyster Bay. TO AMALGAMATE METHODISTS Oklahoma City Conference Goes on Record Favoring Plan Oklahoma City.—The amalgamation of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Methodist Protestant church and the Methodist Episcopal church, South, was heartily endorsed in the South Methodist quadrennial conference when a resolution recommending such an action was introduced and unanimously adopted amid noisy cheers and other manifestations of enthusiasm. The report recommending this step was introduced by the committee on church relations. It is urged that the name of the new church, if united as proposed, should be the Methodist Church of America. The report suggested that the colored Methodists be co-operated with and recognized as one of the conferences. The report met no opposition, but was extolled by a number of speeches before the vote of the conference was taken. EXECUTION BEGUN AFTER VICTORY Villa Takes No Chances With Federal Officers of Paredon Juarez.—Two federal generals, Alvarez and Ignacio Munoz, were killed in the battle of Paredon and two other generals and many former federal officers were executed by the constitutionalists after the battle, according to a copy of an official telegram from General Francisco Villa to General Carranza. Regarding the fight at Zertuche the report says, "There were captured also a general and thirty-two officers composing his staff. All were executed immediately." The report of General Villa said that the retreating garrison of Monclova had been joined by the forces which had retreated from Paredon previously and that this juncture accounted for the number of federales on the trains which were captured. General Villa stated the battle in the outskirts of Paredon began at 10:40 p. m. MEDIATORS AT NIAGARA FALLS UNITED STATES MAKES NO AT TEMPT TO INFLUENCE DELEGATES PLANS. CONSUL SILLIMAN STILL MISSING Government is Also Concerned in Regard to Safety of Many Other Americans in Different Parts of Mexico. Niagara Falls. —The delegates to peace conference have arrived, held their first meeting and are getting down to business. With the arrival here from Washington of the third mediator, Eduardo Suarez, the Chilean minister and the two American delegates, Justice Joseph R. Lamar and Frederick W. Lehmann, the personnel of the conference awaited for its completion the three Mexican delegates who arrived later. Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil and Minister Naon of Argentina, devoted themselves to the formulation of tentative rules of procedure. Their announcements were held in abeyance pending the approval of the Chilean mediator, but it was understood that among other things, the rules called for informal discussions as precedent to all formal negotiations. The latter, it was said for purpose of record, would take the form of protocols or written agreements as to what had taken place, signed by all parties to the negotiations and drawn up as occasion demanded. While the mediators continued to maintain strict reticence as to the nature of the mediation proposals they will submit, it generally was accepted here as extremely probable that the elimination of Huerta would be their first suggestion. It was more than ever believed that with the attitude of President Wilson on the subject so well known, the mediators would be less hopeful of settlement if the Mexican representatives prove unwilling to grant this important concession. Scope Broad. The broad scope of the proceedings and the importance attached to them by other South and Central American countries was evidenced by the arrival here of Dr. Gonzales Cordova, minister from Ecuador to the United States. He declared he had come on instructions from his government. It is understood that Dr. Alberto Membreno, minister from Honduras is coming and that other Latin-American diplomats or their representatives also will be on the scene. Dr. Cordova's announcement of the interest of his country in the mediation was accepted here as an indication of similar interest on the part of other Pan-American countries. Those in close touch with the situation pointed out that the mediation means much more than the settlement of the problem between the United States and Mexico. It was said the general Pan-American desire to see the mediation a success was as great as that of the three big South American countries whose good offices have been accepted. CANADA'S PLACE AS A PRODUCER CANADA'S PLACE AS A PRODUCER Canada Is Getting a Great Many Americans. "Three young provinces, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta," says a New York financial journal, "have already made Winnipeg one of the greatest primary wheat markets of the world. In 1904 they raised 58,000,000 bushels of wheat. Five years later they produced 150,000,000 bushels. In 1913 the crop approximated 200,000,000 bushels. At the present rate of progress Canada must soon pass France and India, and stand third in the line of wheat producers. Ultimately it will dispute with Russia and the United States for the first position. Wheat has been the pioneer of our development. Undoubtedly it will prove the same with Canada. In the last calendar year our trade with Canada amounted to 497 million dollars. Only with two countries—the United Kingdom and Germany—is our trade greater. No vivid imagination is needed to see what the future development of Canada means to the people of the United States. The influx of American settlers to the Canadian prairies is now in full swing. Within the past few days over 80 of those arrived at Bassano carrying with them effects and capital to the value of $100,000. Fifty settlers from Oregon arrived in Alberta a few days ago; while 15 families of settlers from the state of Colorado arrived at Calgary on their journey northwards. The goods and personal effects of this party filled 20 box cars. Of live stock alone they had 175 horses, 15 cows and 2,000 head of poultry. Another class of settler has arrived at Peers, 110 miles west of Edmonton, where no fewer than 200 German farmers have taken up land. These are from good farming families and brought with them a large amount of capital. Then in South Western Saskatchewan, there are large numbers settling, these from the United States predominating, while in the northern and central portions of all these provinces, the settlement of new people is going on steadily. Early in April, Peter Goertz arrived in Cardiff after a six-day journey from McPherson, Kansas. Mr. Goertz who had purchased land here was in charge of a party of 38 people from the same part of Kansas and they came through with a special train which included all their stock and implements. The equipment was all Rock Island cars, and was the first full immigrant train ever sent out by that railroad. The farms purchased by the members of the party are amongst the best in the district. When the Panama exposition opens next year any of the three transcontinental lines in Canada will make convenient means of transport for those going to visit, and in doing so agricultural districts of Western Canada can be seen, and ocular demonstration given those who have heard but not before seen, of that which has attracted so many hundreds of thousands of American settlers.—Advertisement. Prudent Youth. A young society woman was having a chat one evening with a young man whom she had just met. They were in the conservatory.
