A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR Remember The Star Booster Edition! Covering The Entire State of Oklahoma To Gommemorate The Meeting of The National Negro Business Men's League At Muskogee, August 14-15 1914. White Woman Falsely Accuses Young Negro World-Sun Publishes Sensational Story of Alleged Crime; But is Silent When Negro Is Vindicated To Protect Indian Lover Who "Beat Her Up" White Girl Caarges Negro Porter With Vicious Crime; And As Usual Daily Paper Tells Only One Side of Story Vol. 2, No 33 Remen Covering The Entire State of White Accus World-Sun Publ al Story of A But is Silen gro Is V To Protect Indian Lover WH Charges Negro Porter Wi Usual Daily Paper Tells The Tulsa Evening Sun, the 11 o'clock edition of the Tulsa World, of Tuesday, June 9th, published under bold black-face head lines on the front page a sensational story about a Negro porter at the St. Regis rooming house assaulting a young white woman in her room early Tuesday morning. Jimmie Nichols, the porter at the St. Regis was arrested and put in jail Tuesday and the 3 o'clock issue of the World-Sun published the same sensational story again, telling how the plucky white woman had fought desperately for at least five minutes before help came to rescue her from the desperate clutches of the black man, etc. The article in question referred in part to the story as follows: Miss Cazort was taken to the matron's room at the police station where she is under the care of the matron and physicians, not having any relatives in Tulsa. She was badly bruised about the hip and breast in her fight to protect herself while her little finger on her left hand was bitten off, the nail hanging. She was bloody about the breast and face. "In an interview with a Sun reporter this morning Miss Cavort said that it was the second time that the negro had attempted to commit the act and that a number of other ladies at the hotel had complained about being insulted by him." No one with good common sense of course, could much credence in the story because the Sun has already established a splendid reputation for yellow journalism. Nichols was tried in the municipal court Wednesday and after hearing the evidence in the case Judge Clark released him from custody. It developed that the white woman had been attacked by her Indian lover and to protect him she was willing to charge an innocent Negro with a vicious crime. The landlady at the St. Regis knew the facts in the case and went to the police station and told all she knew. As a result Nichols was released and restored to his position. The World-Sun has been silent about this. The landlady speaks very highly of Nichols. She says he has always given satisfaction there and that no one has ever complained to her about TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY JUNE 13. 1914 It is just such flimsy stories as this, told by degenerated, unscrupulous white women and published in glaring head lines in such newspapers as the World-Sun that have been the direct cause of many innocent Negroes being lynched in the Southland. Fortunately for us all, however, this happened in Tulsa, where the majority of the people believe in law and order and where the reputation of the World-Sun is best known. A WORD TO THE OKLAHOMA FARMERS During the period 1900-1910, the proportion of land in farms operated by owners showed a decrease among the colored farmers in Oklahoma. It is not possible to tell exactly what the falling off above indicates. It is very likely, however, that it was due to a practice already condemned in a recent editorial of The Negro Farmer, that is, the practice of attempting to purchase too much land and losing the land already owned. It is hoped that if this is the case, our farmers will see to it that no more land is bargained for than can be purchased and that land already owned will not be mortgaged to pay for more—Tuskegee Farmer. THE LOCAL OPTION LAW. If the local option liquor law is submitted to the people of Oklahoma for their vote next fall, it is hard to predict the position the Negro voter will take in the matter. One thing is certain. If we must have whisky—liquor—let it be handled by a different class from the bootlegger. Events in the past few weeks should convince us that the bootlegger as we read of him and as we know his actions, is an extremely vicious fellow, who will go up against anything that will keep his business going. CROP CONDITIONS. According to the government crop reports the crops in Oklahoma are above a ten-year average at this time. Cotton is looking fine and small grain safe. Corn may suffer for a July rain but on a whole things are hopeful for the farmers in Oklahoma. Star Booster Edition The Tulsa Star, being the leading Negro paper in the state, has shouldered the responsibility of bringing the Negro business men of Oklahoma closer together and giving them a creditable representation at the annual meeting of the National Negro Business Men's League at Muskogee in August. In order to do this as it should be done the Star will publish a special twenty-page Oklahoma Booster edition as a souvenir of this great national meeting of Negro business men. This special edition will be the largest Negro newspaper ever published in America and will be a credit to the entire state. Every Negro business man, professional man or farmer; every Negro woman, girl or boy living within the bounds of Oklahoma, who has done anything worth while will be given space in this special edition if it is possible for our special agents and reporters to find them. The Star photographer will make special efforts to make pictures of Negro farms and business houses as well as beautiful residences owned by Negroes, that we may have cuts made to run in this special Booster edition. Our agents will visit every town in the State where Negroes reside, if possible, and we hope every colored man and woman in the State will help us. It is our purpose to show up the best side of the Negroes of Oklahoma at the big meeting at Muskogee. The Negroes of this State will be on trial before the greatest body of Negroes in the world, headed by one of the leading educators of the world, and it will be expected of us to make a good showing. The Star will make it possible for us to present a better case than any States has presented to this great body heretofore. Help us to help you. Newly Wede In Muskogee Town Special to the Tulsa Star. Muskogee, June 12.—Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hughes of Tulsa, the newly weds, were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Greene in this city Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Greene who is the wife of the famous photographic artist, proved herself equal to the occasion as hostess. A very palatable dinner was served with Miss E. E. Shorter, Miss T. Granvil and Mr. Ambros the additional guests. The elegant home of the hostess was brilliant and charmingly decorated with cut flowers. Mrs. Greene deserves special commendation for the unique preparations which made the guests so appreciative. PAGE TO ERECT HOME FOR NEGRO CHILDREN Chas. Page, the well-known millionaire, philanthropist of Tulsa, has given his word for it that he will build an orphanage for Negro children soon at Sand Springs. There is something very commendable in this effort upon the part of Mr. Page; which makes him an exception among the great men of the nation. Great men of means have given large donations to homes for needy white people, but as a rule they forget how helpless and needy are the people of other races. Amongst the few exceptions to this rule Mr. Page stands comparatively alone as a man of the West. That this act upon the part of Mr. Page will be appreciated by the Negro people there can be no argument. We are sadly in need of a state school for incorrigible youths, conducted upon honest, fair and business methods. But not a man in the state legislature has dared insist upon the building of institutions for Negro people. Public sentiment seems to be very strongly against the man who confesses any good feeling toward Negroesand for want of friends we have been denied any support from the state towards making better citizens of the unfortunate of our people. Along the same line there may have been liberal hearted men and women who have been kindly disposed to contribute to the building of institutions for the elevation of our young men and women but they have feared to speak out and no one seems to have had the stamina to start the agitation or to make possible for any creditable movement along the lines mentioned. Every white man has considered himself privileged to register a knock against Negroes and to pass them along, to the jail house, the chain gang and the penitentiary. It would not be fair to suggest that some very mean people live in Oklahoma. As good citizens, doing the best we can under very adverse circumstances, we hesitate to bring the charge, but in face of the general treatment we have received in the past, we kiss the hand of men like Mr. Page who rise in their inclination to do good and the right, to stoop to remember the many poor, suffering orphans of our race, who have been made homeless and alone through over-exertion of parents in an effort to keep souls and bodies together. We stop to think of the people of the cities—how they exist, not live—in crowded houses, in low marshy flats, in alley and cellars, all cruelly unsanitary and exposed to contagion and disease. We think of the poor Negro family trying to make what he calls a home for their children. The poor mother cannot carry her little ones with her to "the white-folks' yard," so at daybreak the children are left after a scant breakfast to shift for themselves while the older ones go to work. The father goes in one direction with his lawn mower or saw-buck; the mother in opposite direction to the kitchen or laundry and the older children in still another direction to whatever work they can find. Subscription $1.00 Per Year Edition! Huskogee, August 14-15 1914. T HOME GRO CHILDREN are Phillanthropist of The Day No wonder that, from overwork, exposure and worry, that so many Negro children are orphans. The wonder is that there are not more. As a race, our resources are not sufficient to spare them a fair support and we appreciate from the bottom of our souls, the help which comes from the great and good people who have creans to spare. The great example of Mr. Page in remembering "even the least of these" will bear its fruit in the hearts of Christian people everywhere, as one of true and unselfish charity, which gives for the sake of giving and not for applause. For the many little black hands in Oklahoma, outstretched for mercy, we thank Mr. Page for his liberal gift and appreciate the gift for the spirit in which it is given. The National League The National League What the Meeting of the Negro Business League Means to Us. During the month of August there will be a monster meeting of negro people at Muskogee. Special trains will be run from Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas for delegates and prospectors and the attendance should run well up into the tiousands. This will make an opportunity for Tulsa people to interest investors in the opportunities offered here for placing their money. It simply takes systematic organization and a little hustle upon our part. Whatever people in other parts of the state fail to do we should get busy on a "get there" spirit and have some of the live ones visit Tulsa. Only a short time remains and if we cannot accomplish results with a large number we can do it with a few. Let's get busy. Oklahoma Negroes Land Owners Accordingto statistics compiled by Ralph Tyler, he reports for Oklahoma Negroes as follows: There are 20,671 colored farmer in the State. These farmers work 2,276,711 acres of land. They own 1,599,655 acres of land. The value of their property, land and buildings, increased from $14,149,980 in 1900 to $47,221,793 in 1910. Fifty-three and 9-10 per cent of the colored farmers in the State own their farms. Forty-five and 9-10 per cent of these farmers are tenants. In 1900, 746,916 acres of the farms worked by colored farmers were improved land; in 1910, 1,172,819 acres were improved. This seems a good evidence of advancement for the Negro people in Oklahoma. The rport of Mr. Tyler means that as salvage from the ravages of the landgrafter in Oklahoma, the negro has done fairly well. AT LAST IT COMES; HUERTA WILL QUIT WILL RESIGN IF MEDIATORS CAN SECURE PACIFICATION OF REPUBLIC. BUT HE'S STILL ON THE JOB Steamer Antilla Clears New York With a Ship Load of Munitions Niagara Falls, Ont.—General Huerta is preparing to resign. He authorized his representatives at the mediation conference to announce to the world that "neither mistaken pride nor personal interest" would prevent his withdrawal when once Mexico is "politically pacified" and the government succeeding him is so constituted that it can count on the support of public opinion in Mexico. The Mexican delegates in their formal statement revealed that they had been instructed from the first to inform the mediators that General Huerta's personality would not be an obstacle toward reaching a peaceful settlement. They also stated that the internal situation in Mexico was "necessarily bound up with international questions," and that this gritti had actuated them in coming to the mediation conference. Coincident with the announcement by the Mexican delegates of their position, the mediators sent a not by mail to the representatives of General Carranza in Washington, replying to the communication brought here by Juan F. Urquidi. The mediators in effect asked General Carranza if the constitutionalists were willing to discuss internal as well as international questions and if they were ready to declare an armistice with the Huerta forces so that the "political pacification" to which the Huerta delegates referred in their statement might easily be brought about. More Guns For the Rebels. Washington.—Ammunition for the Mexican constitutionalists left American shores from New York bound for Tampico, while Mexican mediation apparently marked time at Niagara Falls. The attitude of the constitutionalists is a stumbling block in the negotiations. Information that the steamer Antilla which recently was fired on by constitutionalists outside Tampaco had left New York with munitions of war created considerable stir in Washington. The vessel was cleared without interference on the part of the United States, greatly to the surprise of Secretary Bryan and other department officials. Subsequently it was discovered that an order to prevent clearances of such vessels had been delayed and that the Antilla had procured clearance while Washington believed effectual steps had been taken to prevent her sailing. Up to the present, Tampico has been regarded as an open port. The United States, however, has sought to maintain an ambargo on arms to Mexico across the border and when it became apparent munitions of war for the constitutionalists were being prepared for shipment from New York an order was issued to prevent clearances of vessels bearing arms for any Mexican port. This order did not reach the proper port officials until after clearance papers had been issued to the Antilla. MORRIS SUCCEEDS BEN RILEY McDaniel's Indictment Takes Him Out of the Running. Joseph S. Morris, formerly of Texas county, member of the upper house of the first legislature and an employee of the state school land department, is now secretary of the state senate and ex-officio secretary of the state election board, succeeding Ben W. Riley. The supreme court in a unanimous opinion upheld the validity of that part of the general election law passed by the last legislature which combined the office of secretary of the state election board with that of the secretary of the state senate. The decision had the effect of ousting Riley, who has made a long and determined fight in court to hold the office. Ned McDaniel, who was secretary of the senate of the last legislature, and who would have been the beneficiary under the courts decision, tendered his resignation to President C. B. Kendrick of the senate several days ago in contemplation of a favorable decision and Morris was appointed as his successor by Kendrick within a short time after the court handed down its opinion. C. HARRIS & EWING Starr J. Murphy is the personal counsel for the Rockfellers and is assisting and advising John D. Rockfeller, Jr., in the troubles that have arisen over the Colorado mine strike. ARMISTICE IS IMPOSSIBLE CONSTITUTIONALISTS WILL NOT LAY DOWN ARMS Begging for Mercy Now That He Sees End of Dictatorship Near According to Views of Carranzistas. Brownville, Texas — No armistice between the factions in Mexico is possible, according to Colonel Daniel Rios Zertouche, chief surgeon of the constitutionalist army of the northeast, commenting in Matamoros on General Huerta's notice to the Mexican delegates. Dr. Zertouche said that now that Huerta is "defeated completely he is shrewd enough to invite the constitutionalists to an armistice to gain time for more defense preparations." "That man is the biggest criminal that Mexico ever produced," said Dr. Zertouche. "He realizes he is downed and he is begging to get out. Can anyone believe we are going to wait until Mexican public opinion comes to him? The only way out is for the constitutionalists to crush him and force him out of the office he has usurped. "We started this revolution over a year ago without preparations, without men, without influence or money; we have been successful for we now control three-fourths of Mexico. When we are so near our goal it is not reasonable to expect us to sit and wait for Mexican public opinion to go to Senor Huerta. The Mexican people would have anyone other than a Huertista clentifico or a clerical." Food Scarce at Mazatlan. Mazatlan—constitutionalists have captured the federal prison and radio station on the Las Tres Marlas islands, which isolates the federals and entirely cuts off means of communication between the west coast and Mexico City. Gaudalajara, the objective point of the recent operations of the constitutionalists in the northwest, is surrounded by Obregon's troops and all communication shut off from Mexico City on the east and Manzanillo on the west. The schooner Leonar, with a cargo of supplies for the beleaguered federals 'at Mazatlan, was prevented from discharging freight by the dangerous fire of the constitutionalist battles This makes the third supply ship prevented from landing supplies within a week for the hungry populace and garrison. Colima, the capital of the state of that name, one of the most important cities in southwestern Mexico, has fallen into the hands of the constitutionalists under Alamillo, according to information to Admiral Howard. Vera Cruz.—The price demanded by Huerta for his retirement is legalization of his official acts as provisional president, according to advices from the capital. This is said to be the proposal of Huerta's authorized delegates will offer at the mediation conference. Huerta is said to realize his chances of winning are slim, but he intends to protect his future and that of the men surrounding him. Maytorena Being Held as Prisoner. Maytorena Being Held as Prisoner. Douglas, Ariz.—Governor Jose E. Maytorena, of Sonora, is under arrest at Hermosillo, held prisoner by the military. The governor has been denounced by the opposition as being dictatoial. Constitutionalists allied with the Pesqueira faction say there is no feud between Maytorena and the military but between Maytorena and the people of the state. TULSA. OKLA. STAR AGGIE BOARD FIRES CONNELL 1. F. DARBY OF MUSKOGEE TO TAKE TEMPORARY CHARGE OF SCHOOL. DEPOSED MEN TO LOSE SALARIES Successor to President Must Be App proved by Secretary Houston.— Final Clearance of Long- Standing Muddle. Oklahoma City.—Final action toward the removal of J. H. Connell as president of the A. and M. college at Stillwater was taken by the board of agriculture whe, it passed a resi- solution authorizing J. F. Darby, of Muskogee, member of the board, to proceed at once to Stillwater and remain in charge of the institution until a temporary organization is perfected. The board also passed a resolution declaring that salary claims of Connell and other deposed members of the faculty of the A. and M. college would not be honored for time later than May 3. At that time the mandate of the supreme court declaring the present board to be the legal body became effective, and the board taker PETER H. J. F. Darby. the position that the resignation of Connell and other members of the faculty demanded some time ago, also became effective at that time. In the selection of a permanent successor to Connell the board will name a man who is acceptable to Secretary Houston of the federal department of agriculture at Washington. As a result of the management of the A. and M. college under the administration of President Connell the federal agricultural department withdrew its support of the institution. A letter from the federal department, stated that it could not co-operate with the Stillwater college under certain conditions existing under Mr. Connell's management was made public at the time the board demanded Connell's resignation several months ago. The board is planning the appointment of a committee from among its membership to go to Washington in the very near future for the purpose of holding a conference with heads of the federal department with the view of re-establishing the former friendly relations that existed between the state and federal departments of agriculture. It was announced by the board that no successor to Connell would be chosen until the next meeting, which will be held on June 16. The board declares politics or political influence will avail nothing in the appointment of a successor to Connell, or any other appointments to be made. Efficiency and qualifications for the place, it is announced, will be the main things considered by the board. A. D. Humbarger, newspaper man, and formerly in charge of the special tax department of the state auditor's office, was appointed financial secretary of the board Saturday morning to succeed Kirby Franz. Franz has resigned his position with the board to make the race for the democratic nomination for secretary of state. Humbargar will assume charge of the office June 16, at which time the resignation of Franz becomes effective. HUERTA PROVOKES MORE FUSS Two Gunboats Defying the Whole U. S. Fleet. Washington.—Another crisis in the Mexican difficulty faces the Washington government, a situation fraught with perils for mediation and with possibilities that might precipitate actual warfare between the United States and Mexico.

GREENWOOD ST FORGET Phone 3337 By GEORGE MUNSON. When Jim Maine went after anything he went after it tooth and nail. That was the spirit in which he went after Miss Martha Crowe's property. Martha Crowe had had the reputation of a miser, but nobody imagined that, in addition to the cottage in which she and Miss Annie, her niece by marriage, dwelled, she had nine thousand dollars in the bank, the fruit of hoarding and clever investment. And the will that old Maine produced gave him everything except the cottage and the land on which it stood. It was Annie's engagement to Tom Claflin that provoked the old woman's rage. Annie had been a drudge ever since her aunt adopted her at the age of ten, fifteen years before. Nobody had thought that the plain, quiet girl would ever marry. But Claflin, the young lawyer, saw underneath the plain exterior—saw the heart of gold and the sterling character and loving mature, long subdued and repressed, but not killed. Annie had longed to lavish her tenderness on the crabbed old woman—then, after years of vain effort to win her love, Tom had come along and claimed her. When the miserly old woman heard of it she expressed herself in characteristic fashion. "Not one penny of my money will you get, you ungrateful child, if you leave me in my old age," she said. "But, Aunt, we want you to make your home with us," protested the girl. That only fanned the old woman's wrath. She sent for Maine. He was her only friend. He was an elder in some primitive tabernacle, and Miss Martha belonged to it. The congregation were narrow fanatics, self-righteous Pharisees who thought all human love an abomination. "You'd best stay with your aunt and give that Claflin fellow the shake," leered old Jim. He was the A "It Takes a Big Man to Cross My Will." richest man in the village, and had a reputation for graspingness. Little got through his fingers. The pair of them stormed at the girl until she fled to her room in terror. She had hoped to escape into a larger world with her marriage to Tom; but the plea of duty to her aunt broke her resolution. She gave him up. At least, she would have given him up, only, the week following, her aunt died suddenly. She died in the midst of one of those scolding fits that made the girl's life gall and wormwood. And then Tom came and put his arms around Annie and told her that she was his, just the same, and that he had taken no notice of her letter, because he knew. That was just like Tom. He always understood. And they meant to be very happy together. But Tom was as poor as a church mouse, and marriage would have been out of the question but for the money. "You must take it, Tom," insisted the girl. "Take it as a loan, if you like, to help you in your profession. You will have clients galore in a few years. Don't make us both unhappy by refusing, Tom." Before Tom Claflin had decided Jim Maine produced a will written by the old woman a month before she died, and signed by witnesses. It left all Miss Martha's money to him, stating that, on account of her ingratitude, Annie was to get only the cottage. That was worth two or three thousand—but it was only a small share in the comfortable estate. Tom came to Annie. "That will is a forgery, my dear," he said. "Those witnesses are men who owe Maine money. They are in his power, and are of disreputable character. We shall fight it tooth and nail." Annie protested. She did not want to fight about the money, she said. Maine was welcome to it. And she hated scandal. Besides that, she knew her aunt had borne her no love. But Tom persuaded her. He knew that the girl's life had been an unhappy one, though she had never told him so. He knew that the will was forged. And he meant to send Maine to prison. The case came up before the surrogate's court. Maine had defied and threatened Tom, but the young lawyer saw that the man was in a frenzy of fear. Still, he could not keep his fingers off the nine thousand dollars. And his witnesses were stanch to him. On the day before the trial the young, lawyer received a visit from a fellow lawyer in the next town. "I heard about your case, Claflin," he said. "I think this puts a new light on the transaction, doesn't it?" And he threw a document upon the table. Tom picked it up. It was another will of Miss Martha's. "She made that about a month ago," said the visitor. "Came over to Stapleton to do it, I guess, so that nobody in this town should know. Of course, it antedates the will you are fighting over, but—" Claflin sat long in thought that evening. "Tom, won't you withdraw at the last moment?" pleaded Annie in court the next morning. "Dear, we have the cottage—and, after all, that will may be genuine." Tom said nothing but clasped her hand in his. And Annie resigned herself to her lover's will in the matter. When the case was called, however, he amazed the court and spectators by saying: "We do not accept this will as genuine, Your Honor, but, in deference to the wishes of my client we are willing to accept the sworn statement of Mr. Maine and his witness to the effect that the will is genuine, and to withdraw." And the will was admitted to probate. Maine was flushed with triumph. He was not the man to let well enough alone. The revulsion from his fears of prison proved too strong for his good sense. He came up to Tom in the court room, after the court had adjourned. "Wall," he sneered, "I guess you did the wise thing in withdrawing, young man. You'd have lost your case, and I'd have had you driven out of town, too. It takes a big man to cross my will." "I hope you'll enjoy your property," said Tom. "But why didn't you take the cottage, too, while you were about it? You threw away two or three thousand dollars there. And you might just as well have had it if you had had the nerve." "What do you mean?" bellowed Maine truculently. "I mean," said Tom, thrusting his face forward and looking the other squarely in the eye, "that if you hadn't been a thief and a rogue you would have got everything. Here is Miss Crowe's will, and it leaves you everything cottage included." No thrust the document under Jim Maine's face. "It does, does it!" roared Maine. "Then I'll have it." "No you won't" answered Claflin. "This will was executed three days before the forged one that has been admitted to probate." (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) When Speed Becomes Dangerous When Speed Becomes Dangerous. Mrs. Pastor Stokes, speaking at the first annual conference of the American Museum of Safety in New York, says that speed is the real problem of labor. It is not that machinery is so dangerous, she says, but what is called industrial efficiency keys the workers up to a pitch that means in time mental and physical exhaustion. She says that up to a certain point a worker can increase speed, and that after that it begins to decline. Business compels the attitude of the owners of factories, she says, and they do not realize how they grind down the girls in their seeking for efficiency. Eyes of Youthful Genius. Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were his most remarkable feature. Under strong excitement one appeared brighter and, as in the case of Byron, larger than the other. Calcott says: "It was like the eye of a hawk and one could see his soul through it." Barrett "never saw such eyes, fire rolling at the bottom of them," and he confesses that he often purposely differed in opinion from Chatterton to see how wonderfully his eye would strike fire, kindle and blaze up. Cold Bath and Whisky. The cold bath would go if a New York doctor had his way. He says that the cold bath involves a severe shock to the human mechanism, and makes necessary the morning glass of whisky. It is to be hoped that no one will learn to regard his cold bath as an excuse for the morning tonic. IDEAS for HOME BUILDERS by WM. A. RADFORD NO.563X IDEAS FOR HOME BUILDER by WM. A. RADFO 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. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue, Chicago, 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The design here illustrated shows a house that costs very little more to build than a one-story cottage. There are only two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, besides a big store-room; while the downstairs is perfectly arranged for comfort and convenience. There is a great advantage in having the chimney in the center of the house. You never have trouble with a roof leaking around a chimney that is build through the peak, but the amount of expressive profanity wasted on chimneys near the eaves is tremendous. When the water races down the roof, it seems to prefer an outlet around the chimney. It runs down towards the ground easier than it does at the eaves; at least a great many men feel that way at times. Theoretically it is easy to steer the water around the chimney; but theory don't always cover the whole question. Sometimes snow banks up against the chimney, which melts a little bit every day, and at night freezes into an ice bank, and this changes the situation around the chimney considerably. After a while ph. ugh ears his in had did ung and wn, my ty," take out tree you you wed his her in't the rains come, sometimes in a hurry; and before the ice bank has time to get out of the way, somebody down below gets a bath and some expensive decorations are spoiled. It is not every house plan that will permit placing the chimney in the peak of the roof, but that style of plan is to be preferred when all other things are right for it. This is not a large house; it is 26 feet wide and 38 feet long, exclusive of porches; and it is supposed to PORCH PANTRY 12'174' KITCHEN 14'0X1'30' DINING RM 14'6X1'6' SOFTING RM 14'0X1'20' HALL 13'4X1'0' PARLOR 14'0X1'40' PORCH First Floor Plan. stand out alone where it gets light and air on every side so the sun may penetrate into every corner. There is an opportunity to fit up a very cozy sitting room, which may be used separately or in connection with the parlor, as desired. A window seat to fit in the bay, reaching clear across the three windows, looks well, and, if properly made, is very comfortable. Windows seats are used in the winter more than in summer; and they should be built accordingly. There is more or less draft or at least cold air coming in around a window in the winter. For this reason the window seat should be protected by the back, which may extend up three or four inches above the window sill without being conspicuous from the outside. It depends, of course, a good deal on the window seat itself and the way in which it is made. As a general thing it is better to have the whole thing movable. A WASHINGTON APT. BATH 7'4" X 10' BED ROOM 12'0" X 10' WALL BED ROOM 12'0" X 10' CLOUD Second Floor Plan. cheap frame is made to fit the window, and this frame is seated with loose cushions. The ends and back are covered with tufted material to match the cushions. This tufting should reach up the back and turn over on the window side and extend 663X down as far as the window stool. The ends of the window seat may be higher than the sides, but not necessarily so, as both shape and design must conform to the other furniture in the room to a certain extent. It is more difficult to fit the tufted covering when the ends are higher than the sides, but it often gives the finished work a much better appearance. The front of the window seat is covered with material the same as the cushions and back, and it may be put on smooth or plaited. A smooth finish is best because it does not collect dust; often, however, the plaited form looks better. Sometimes drawers for magazines and books are built in the seat, and these must be considered in the covering. Sometimes the seat is made to lift up. There are as many styles in window seats as in any other articles of furniture; but they are different, from the fact that each one is made to fit a certain niche where it is expected to remain. A window seat is never complete without plenty of pillows. The square down pillows with fancy covers that are seen in every home, are not only comfortable, but highly decorative. Some of these pillows are made too nice to use, which is a great mistake. It is much better to have washable covers that may be easily removed. Of course every woman likes to have something of this kind as neat and elaborate as possible; but, as a general thing, pillows should be made to use as well as to look at. A seat big enough to fit this window should have seven or eight pillows piled up at the ends, and scattered along the side on top of the tufted back. Some seats are made with a wide rail on top of the back, especially to hold pillows. In such cases the tufting should be made in different parts, with a division at each corner and a cord run along to mark the upper corner borders. This little house may be built, under favorable circumstances, for about $1,500, without heating apparatus or plumbing. Cures Ivy Poisoning. For ivy poisoning apply Hanford's Balsam.

Parisian disciples of an illustrious and rather pompous French painter are telling a neat story against him. Last autumn he was, with most of European society, in Venice. He saw a painter sketching the view of the Grand canal. Some innocent amateur, no doubt. He went up, looked at the sketch, and liked it. "Not bad, sir; not bad as all," he said, and added: "You ought to exhalt in Paris. Send something to the Artistes Francais, and mention my name. Here is my card." The "amateur" took the card, thanked his patron, and said, "I must also introduce myself. I am an American. My name is John Singer Sargent. I have exhibited in Paris once or twice already." No Insult. Some time back, when Sir Herbert Tree was taking the waters at Marienbad he was accosted by a perfect stranger. "Begging your pardon, sir," said the latter, "but aren't you Beerbohm Tree, the actor?" "No, certainly not," replied Sir Herbert unblushingly. "I'm very sorry," said the other, "but I thought you were. You look so much like the pictures I have seen of him." "I can assure you that you are mistaken," persisted Sir Herbert. "Well, I didn't mean to insult you, sir," observed the stranger, "but I did think you looked like him." Training German Soldiers. Targets of various kinds mounted on tracks and drawn over the field by cables on electrically-driven drums give German soldiers a very realistic dummy enemy for gun practise. The imitations of infantry and cavalry are simple silhouettes, and these are made to carry our various maneuvers, under perfect electric control. The infantry, for instance, march slowly at first, break into a run at the first fire, and drop automatically into the first trench, with only the heads visible. It is easier to apologize to a big man than to a little one. Ready-Cooked —from Your Grocer.

Branson, professor of rural economies at the State Normal school, Athens, Ga., recently addressed the Southern Sociological congress on the subject of negro progress. What he had to say is gratifying to those who hope to see the American negro elevated in education, citizenship and ambition. If Professor Branson is right, the American negro is working out his own salvation, not in the town, but in the country. In the southern states in 1910 the ratio of negro farm workers ran far ahead of that of negro population in general. For instance, in South Carolina, the negroes were 55 per cent of the population, but 68 per cent of the farm workers. In Mississippi during the last census period negro farmers increased at a rate nearly two and one-half times greater than the rate of increase for negro population in general. In Georgia the difference was even more pronounced. The drift everywhere among the negroes of the South is from the city to the country. Southern cities that between 1865 and 1880 were in a way of being overwhelmed by the negroes, now show, in some cases, a diminishing ratio. In the South there are about one hundred thousand negroes engaged in teaching, preaching, the practice of medicine and law and in business enterprises. These are, of course, upward-looking negroes. But on the farms of the South there are 2,500,000 negroes, and most of these are looking upward, too. In the farm regions the southern negro is achieving a new economic status. He is rapidly rising out of farm tenancy to the farm ownership. He is becoming to the South what the "peasant proprietor" is to France and Belgium. He is finding that bank books and barns are more important at present than ballot boxes. Nearly one-fourth of all the negro farmers in the South own the farms they cultivate. This rural property is valued at nearly $500,000,000. The Russian serfs, after 50 years of freedom, have not made greater headway. They have not done so well, indeed, in their conquest of illiteracy. During the last census period the negroes of the South increased less than ten per cent in population, but they increased 17 per cent in the ownership of farms, against a 12 per cent increase of white farm owners. The negro farmer now owns $37,000,000 worth of farm implements and tools, $177,000,000 worth of farm animals and $273,000,000 worth of farm lands and buildings. In 1880 Georgia negroes owned 580,664 acres of farm land, but in 1910 they owned 1,607,970 acres. Negro property upon the tax lists of Georgia now amounts in value to $34,000,000. The facts show a dwindling ratio of negro population in every southern state except Arkansas and Oklahoma; a decreasing ratio in the cities of the South, but an increasing ratio in the farming regions of every southern state except Louisiana. Hampton Court palace, London, may become the home of Lady Scott, widow of the South pole explorer, King George, it is said, having decided to make the offer. These apartments are occupied principally by the widows of men who have greatly distinguished themselves in the service of the country in a naval, military or civil capacity. The only stipulation made by the king when he offers a suite is that the recipient may not sublet rooms to any one without obtaining permission from the court. Hampton institute, the pioneer among the schools for teaching negroes and Indians, has decided that in the future it will not give a diploma to any boy or girl who has not received definite vocational training. According to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the institution, the result of this will be a better prepared body of rural teachers. A great many of the Hampton graduates go back among their own people to teach the things they have learned in school. "In order to make their training more effective," says Dr. Frissell, "much thought has been given to the selection of new students. The application department reports that 2,328 letters have been written this year; 1,536 application blanks have been sent out; 909 have been returned; 384 admission cards have been issued, and 237 applicants have entered." The Times of Ceylon has been investigating the possibility that Ceylon may be able to produce raw ramine fiber for supplying the ramine mills of the United States and Europe TULSA, OKLA., STAR CAN CULLINGS Judge McCants Stewart of the supreme court of Liberia says that the affairs of the African republic are in better shape than for years past, owing to its financial reorganization under the guidance of Reed Page Clark, who was loaned by the state department to handle the customs receipts of the nation, in connection with the assumption of the national debt by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Clark, as acting chief, was assisted by officials of the English, French and German governments. Stewart says it was some time before the system got under way, on account of the bond issue, but it is now very successful, and there is no friction similar to that of Persia during Shuster's stay at Teheran. The British Bank of West Africa has a new building at Monrovia, with four branches. A German firm has asked for a concession for a railway in Monrovia, to run-100 miles inland. Another German firm, and Lever, the English soap manufacturer, have both sought the palm oil concessions. It is understood that American capital has not shown great interest yet in Liberian operations, but it would undoubtedly be welcomed, because it is not considered that financial investments by American merchants and capitalists would be followed by any policy of imperialism such as might follow the investment of German or French money. President Howard, according to Judge Stewart, is having a very successful diplomatic administration. Major Charles Young, a West Pointer, has done great work in organizing the constabulary. Judge Stewart will sail from Liverpool in company with George Washington Buckner, the new American minister to Liberia, and Lieutenant Martin, who will assist Major Young with the constabulary. The pastors of the colored churches of Indianapolis conducted a memorial service in the auditorium of the colored Y. M. C. A. under the auspices of the Martin R. Deluney post of the G. A. R. and the Women's Relief corps. The Rev. D. P. Roberts of Bethel church was master of ceremonies. The proclamation authorizing the observance was read by Miss Susie Wilson. The Rev. C. W. Lewis conducted the Scripture lesson. The Rev. J. R. Harvey offered the invocation. Short addresses were made by the Rev. W. H. Weaver, J. H. Lott; the Rev. H. L. Herod, the Rev. W. S. Hodge and the Rev. Father A. H. Maloney. A choir composed of members selected from the choirs of the various churches sang. A parade by the veterans, headed by the Y. M. C. A. band preceded the services. Several lodges acted as escorts for the G. A. R. men. Results of anti-typhoid inoculation among the French troops in Algeria and Morocco during 1912 were reported by Professor Vincent at the recent international medical congress in London. In western Morocco, while about 16 per cent among the non-inoculated contracted the disease, only one in 5,000 among the inoculated did so. The average output of coal to each person employed in the industry in the United States is a little more than 600 tons, in the United Kingdom 266 tons, in Germany 240 tons, in France 188 tons, and in Belgium 164 tons. The party of negroes assembled by "Chief" Alfred Charles Sam have sailed to establish a colony on the Gold Coast of Africa. The steamer Curlyba, chartered by Sam last winter and brought to Portland, Me., for overhauling, has been changed from Cuban to British registry and now bears the name of Liberia. "We will first go to Norfolk to take on our bunker coal," said Sam, "and we will then head for Galveston, where many of the colonists are waiting for us. We will have accommodations for a few over sixty." Capt. McKenzie of the Holy Ghost and Us society will be master of the steamer. In Stavanger, Norway, even peasants and fishermen use electric lights. The engineer of the municipal electric plant has organized a class of housewives for instruction in the use of electricity-heated cooking apparatus. The New York Housewives' league has engaged several women to act as inspectors in their crusade against cold storage food DOCTORS UNABLE TO AGREE Question Whether Brown Bread Is Superior to White Still Forms Subject for Argument. White bread was said by experts, or by those who claim to be experts, to be much superior to brown bread a few months ago, and we were told that the idea of eating graham bread or any bread containing part or all of the bran of wheat and other portions of the grain which are taken out in the bolting process was old-fashioned and might lead to injury. Now come the medical inspectors of the French army, a group of very distinguished physicians and scientists, who say that bolting pushed beyond a certain limit eliminates the useful element of flour in more than one respect and does nothing, but improve the color of the bread. When white bread is used exclusively they have found that the men eat and need more meat, but when the flour is only partially bolted and only the coarser particles of the bran are removed the soldiers are in better health and they eat less meat, which results in superior economy and efficiency at the same time. The method of bolting flour was invented some centuries ago, and it seems about time that the relative values of white and unbolted flour were settled, but the doctors can no more agree about it than they can about the therapeutic value of alcohol.—New York Commercial. HEAD ITCHED AND BURNED 604 Greenville Ave., Staunton, Va. "My head broke out in pimples which festered. It itched me so that I would scratch it till my head got almost in a raw sore. My hair came out gradually and it was dry and lifeless. Dandruff fell on my coat collar till I was ashamed of it. My head had been that way all summer, itching and burning till I couldn't sleep in any peace. "I tried salves but it looked like they made it worse. I got —— but it did me no good so I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of the Cuticura Ointment and you don't know what a relief they gave me. In two weeks my head was well." (Signed) J. L.

After Jack Sullivan, the witness who charged that Becker was "framed up" by the gamblers, left the witness stand, it took him considerable time to cool off. Sullivan created an uproar in court by defying everyone and giving his answers as he saw fit. Some friends met him on the street outside the court building. "Jack," said one, "come over at the corner and get something cool to drink." "Not me," he replied, wiping the perspiration from his face. "If I took a drink now in my condition I'd crack a boiler. What I need is a two or three days' snooze in somebody's icehouse." Gave Him the Idea The sweet young thing, sat in the stern of the boat, unmindful of the agonies of the inexperienced oarsman, who tugged and blistered himself at the paddles. "What do you suppose we'll have for supper in camp?" she mused sweetly. "Floating island, I think," panted the young man grimly. "That same island has passed me, going up stream, three times since I've been trying to make it to the landing." The man who gets the most of it seldom gets the best of it.

Canada offers a hearty welcome to the Settler, to the man with a family looking for a home; to the farmer's son, to the renter, to all who wish to live under better conditions. Canada's grain yield in 1913 is the talk of the world. Luxuriant Grasses give cheap fodder for large herds; cost of raising and fattening for market is a trifle.

LESSON TEXT—Luke 18:0-1; 19:1-10 GOLDEN TEXT="I came not to call | the righteous but sinners.” Mark 27. ‘The firet section of our lesson is the beginning of a new paragraph (seo R. V.) and contains one of the Mas- ter’s best-known parables. Immedi- ately preceding this is the parable of the unjust judge and the importunace widow. Wo aro plainly told (v. 9) why the Master spake this parable, It is easy to say that those who trust ed in their own righteousness and “set all others at naught” (R. V.) were the Pharisees, but such 1s not the case; and this parable is a warning to ue; lest we also trust our own righteous- ness (Isa, 64:6). Using this particu- lar class as a background, Jesus paints, in words of simple grandeur, a picture quite familiar throughout the ages. In it he reveals the falseness of human standards and declares the judgment: of heaven. The contrast is vivid. Let us look at (1) the Phari- see, The {lluminating phrase is in the words “he prayed with himself” (v. 11). Ostentatiously the Pharisees separated themselves from their fel- low men and this separation seems to have extended even into his prayer life, and he {s withdrawn from God also, This is an appalling picture ‘of the man who truste only himself. Examine his prayer and we see the supposed prayer is really & paean of self-exaltatiqn. 1 Humility of Heart. (2) The Publican regarded himself ag “the sinner” (v. 13 R, V. marg.). He knew he was a great, an irrelig- fous offender against law and grace. He had sacrificed everything to ac- quire money. He comes with no out ward show except an abundant evi- dence of the shame and humility of his heart. He also was excluded from men but not from God. Burdened with the sense of his sin, he casts him- self upon the mercy of God. He is absolutely devoid of any trust in him- self, any contempt for others, and makes a straight, earnest, passionate abandonment of himself and his need to God, He goes away “Justified” (judged right), Why? Because he had taken the right place, a sinner’s place before God, and found pardon, Il, The Second Section is a story and deals with an individual case, Zac- cheus, who was a “chief Publican.” Jesus sought him (see Golden Text), whereas Zaccheus was animated by curiosity, and the writer informs us he was small of stature, hence the necessity of climbing the sycamore tree. He went up the tree because of curiosity, he came down because of conviction, He wanted to see this man in the center of the crowd and ‘was amazed to hear Jesus call him by name. Must Yield Wealth. Zaccheus was rich, dishonest, dissat isfied, but desperately in earnest, and @ man of prompt decision, The esti mation of his fellow-citizeus '2 indi wated by v. 7. Notwithstanding all of this Zaccheus was not so wedded tc his money as to let it keep him ov of the kingdom. In chapter 18 we read of the rich maw who “lacked one thing.” He was lost—“went away”— because he would not yield his wealth (see also 18:26, 27). What took place within the house of Zaccheus we are not told, but for the Master to entet was looked upon either as amazing ignorance of Zaccheus’ character o1 else extreme carelessness concerning the maintenance of his own character Jesus was dealing with one man, no! the multitude, hence ho leaves chem te their amazement. While this is true . yet we can surmise something of thal interview by the result (v. 8) for Zac cheus seems to have made a public avowal of his ethical and mora change of heart, Note the eteps: (1) He “sought to see Jesus,” Joh $:14, 15; Isa. 45:22. (2) He was ver} much in earnest, “climbed a sycamor tree,” Luke 13:24, (3) He made n delay, “make haste” Isa, 55:6. Thi result was that of great blessing t ‘the people aud joy in the heart o ‘Zaccheus. (4) He was obedient, Joy vously and promptly, The genuinenes: of his transformation was evidence \by the way it affected his pocketbook ‘He made abundant restitution an ‘gave bountifully to the poor, Th jlove of God shed abroad in the hear ee, ears oe ee rae ete eg en TUL,RtA CEA. SPAR HER EXPERIENCE GAINED ON TRIP Found That Ladies in State Agreed With Her Tatas Important Mangham, La—Mrs. Liza Barber, of this town, who has returned from a trip in West and Middle Tennessee, has the following to say; “I bay been on a trip in Middle and West Tennes- see where I found many ladies using Cardut,, the woman's tonic. While traveling I took great pleasure in tell- ing what it had done for me—I not only praised Cardu!—but advised poor suffering women to take it, I know that Cardu! cured me and I belleve tt will go the same for other women. Sometime ago, I could hardly stand on my feet, and I had given up ever having good health. After using two ‘bottles of, Cardul I could tell it was helping me, and I continued taking ft for awhile. I soon felt as well as I ever did, and could do all of my work. | 1 hall always praise this great “medicine to every suffering woman. 1 think there {s no other half so good.’ _ Mrs.: Barber would have found weak, ailing women taking Cardul al “most anywhere she could have gone because Cardul $s recognized as the standard woman's tonic.

IN NEED OF ITS TEACHINGS Able Seaman Had Not Read “Little Book,” but Evidently It Might Have Done Him Good. The chaplain of one of our cruisers had a knack of presenting small Bibles, ‘neatly tied in a parcel, to men on the upper deck. That it contained a Bible he carefully refrained from mentioning, merely saying, “Hero is a little book you'll like.” He gave one to Able Seaman Spikes. One day, a week later, he approached Spikes as the latter was smoking on the upper deck.- “How do you like the little book, Spikes?” Spikes’ mind flew to hie ditty-box, in which the little par- cel, still intact, reposed. He slowly removed his pipe. “Very interesting, sir—very.” “Glad to hear that you have star‘ed reading it,” said the par- son. “Started, sir? Why, I've finished {t (Spikes had no idea what the book was); don’t take me long to read a book, sir, especially a good book, But there, sir, it ended like all the others— got married «id lived happy ever after.” Maniciana Sit Down to Dinner. The Magicians’ club, which ts com- posed of all the most celebrated trick- makers on the English stage, recent- ly held its first annual dinner, followed by an entertainment, at the Hotel Cecil in London, It was a mar yelous evening.
