Refusal to Accept Money From Colored Woman May Cause Trouble Vol. 3, No. 10 First Na Refusal to A From Colore May C The folly of race prejudice was ex- implified in this city one day last week when a Colored woman, proprietor of the largest Colored Hotel in Tulsa went to the First National Bank of this city to make a deposit of money. She took $250.00 to this bank to deposit for safe keeping, expecting to have several thousand dollars transferred to this institution from her home bank in a few days. But when she offered the money she was told that Colored peoples money was not wanted, and she turned away in great disgust and indignation. The woman was Mrs. Matt Sandrige who latfly opened the Midway Hotel at 420 E. Archer street....Just why the bank refuse to accept Colored peoples money is not known. Certainly it is poor business judgment, and it is believed that Mrs. Sanridge could cause the bank some trouble if she so desires. It is known that a number of Colored people have large sums of money on deposit in this bank and it is expected they will withdraw same when they learn of their attitude toward the race. No race loving man or woman can afford to leave their money in an institution of this kind. The Merchants and Planters Bank of this city is another bank which has always been very unfriendly to Colored people in this respect, but no one has paid much attention to it, because of the almost insignificance of the latter institution in the banking business. But now that one of the largest banking houses in the state have assumed this unfair and foolish attitude, and it being a National Bank too, the public has begun to regard it with seriousness. If a public institution of this kind with a national character is to be allowed to discriminate against any American citizen because of color or nationality what is to become of the American constitution which guarantees to every citizen, regardless of race, creed or color, protection of their rights under the law? Mrs. Sandrige is a free American citizen and the First National Bank is a public institution for the accommodation of the general public, and had no more right to refuse to accept her money because she was a colored woman than they have to refuse to accept money from a white woman because she is white. It is not known now what action Mrs. Sandrige will take in the matter, but she doubtless has a remedy at law and it is hoped she will make an example of this case. Foolish race discrimination is far too prevelant all over Oklahoma, but the better class of white and colored citizens of Tulsa believe in fair play. Rastus Brown Wins Contest (Special to the Star) Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 8—King Rastus Brown, of Louisville, Ky., the champion dancer of the United States, easily won the contest between himself and Jack Jennings Wiggins, of Atlanta, Ga., the champion dancer of the South, in Billy Kings Theatre here tonight, showing his superior ability and mastership over his opponent to a packed house. As a dancer, Brown has no equals. He is doubtless the greatest buck and wing dancer in the world, and entertains his audience with dances of all nationalities. Brown is 35 years old and says he is open to all comers—white or black—in the dancing game. He won the championship in Philadelphia in 1912.

Young Rowe In State Legislature Starts Limelight Again Off in Harmony Session FLOGGS DRUNKEN WHITE MAN WHO ASKED HIM TO COMMIT CRIME Annoyed so Much That He Was Forced to Close Hankins' Eyes and Batter up His Face Beyond Recognition. The particulars were learned today about the alleged holdup and robbery of Dave Hankins, who is at the P & S hospital, where he was taken Sunday night after being found badly beaten up in a drug store at Cincinnati avenue and Archer street. Douglass Rowe, Negro, who shot Detective Ed Rice, last May, admitted soon after his arrest this morning that he is the man who beat Hankins up. He said that Hankins came to him in an intoxicated condition and wanted him to assist him in holding up a joint, and after trying to get away from Hankins, was forced to strike him several times. Hankins yesterday made a statement that he was held up, robbed and beaten by two Negroes in an alley on North Boston avenue. He claimed that they secured till the money on his person, which amounted to about $2. Rowe showed Chief Burns his hand this morning. It had been sprained during the fight. He said he tried several times to get away from Hankins, but that Hankins was so persistent that it was necessary for him to beat him up or take his abuse. Hospital authorities said this morning that Hankins would be able to leave his ward in a few days, that his face would be in condition such as would not cause any danger. His right eye and the lower part of the left side of his face is bruised beyond recognition. Witnesses to the fight say that there was no attempt at hold up, and that it was all the result of Hankins' drunken condition.—Democrat, Jan. 5.

Tulsa Hass Only Colored Detective Ass'n The only Colored Detective Association known of in the country will soon be equipped and operated in this city, headed by Barney Cleaver, ex-deputy sheriff, who has a wide reputation as a criminal catcher. A competent set of assistants will be employed and a Continued ou page eight County Dads Are Sworn In Colored Lawyer Becomes Deputy Sheriff The newly elected County Officers were sworn in and took up their respective duties Monday morning and several appointments were made. One of the appointments which has attracted much attention was that of Freeman L. Martin a local lawyer who was appointed deputy Sheriff under Sheriff Wooley. It was rumored last week that lawyer Martin was an applicant for the place formerly held by Barney Cleaver, but few people believed it was true. Jake Dillard a former patrolman under Chief Yoder was an applicant, but Martin beat him to it. The law firm of Martin and Roberts is now dissolved, one of the members being engaged in catching criminals, while the other will be more than ever engaged in defending them. Mob Lynches 2 Negroes Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 4.-Ed and Will Smith, Negroes arrested last Thursday charged with implication in the assassination of R. A. Stilwell, a farmer of Elmore County, were taken from the jail at Wetumpka, Ala., early today and lynched by a mob of fifteen or twenty men. About one-thirty this morning a mob, masked and armed, entered the jail, overpowered Sheriff Jackson, bound him to a chair and forced the Negro trusty to unlock the cells of the two Negroes. With the prisoners carefully bound, the men departed. Details are meager as to what occurred after their departure. The bodies have not yet been found. Soon after reports reached the governor's office that a mob had overpowered the jail attaches and removed the Negroes, Montgomery military men hurried toward the scene in automobiles. They were too late to prevent the lynching. Stilwell whas shot several days ago while guarding his barns against thieves, blood hounds lead directly, it was declared to the cabin of the Smiths. Immigration Bill Cause Protest WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—Protsts against the senate amendment to the immigration bill providing for the exclusion of members of the African race from the United States have begun pouring in at the White House. The President will not indicate his position until the house acts on the provision and the bill is finally sent to him for his signature or veto. Subscription $1.00 Per Year The State Legislature convened its fifth session at high noon Tuesday with promises of a good business session. The factions which marked the beginning of the last session seem to have no part in this session, but there is no telling what will develop before it is over. Many of the members of the last legislature are back in their seats and there are prospects of much real good work being done. Speaker McClory and Speaker pro tem W. A. Durant the war horse from Bryan county, who was speaker of the house for the first legislature and Tom Hunter, chairman of the house caucus will no doubt be the leading figures in the house of representatives while Senator E. L. Mitchell, president pro tem of the Senate will take the leading role in that body. Altogether both branches of the legislature are made up of broad minded men who will try to accomplish the most good for the common people. It is hoped that the members of this legislature will see the fairness of demands of the Colored people of this state for a State Reform School or Reformatory for Colored boys and girls. Such an institution is maintained in this state for white boys and girls, but no provisions have been made for Negroes. It is imperative that the great State of Oklahoma, through her able representatives take some steps looking to the betterment of the criminally inclined youth of the Negro race as well as the white race, and to do this it is necessary that a reform school or a reformatory be established for Colored youths or some arrangements be made to take care of them in this kind of institution now maintained by the state for the white youths The Colored people all over the state are anxiously waiting to see what the members of this legislature will do for them. J. Milton Turner Will Address Business League Sunday Afternoon J. Milton Turner Will Address Business League Sunday Afternoon The local Business League next Sunday will render probably the most interesting program ever arranged by the program committee, inasmuch as one of the most interesting Negroes in America has been engaged to deliver an address in the Dreamland Theatre. This very interesting character is none less than Hon. J. Milton Turner, the first Colored man to hold a foreign diplomatic commission from the U. S. government. He was Ambassador to Liberia under the Grover Cleveland administration and is well known to the Indians and Freedmen of this state, having transacted much legal business for them. Mr. Turner is the oldest Negro lawyer in the United States. Every Colored man and woman in Tulsa should hear him Sunday afternoon.

Turner, St. Louis 7 Vocal Solo .....Miss Curtis 8 General Discussion of the Address 9 Benediction AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some weeks ago, through our southern papers, I made a suggestion that each Negro family raise one or more additional pig this year in order to help bring about more prosperity in the South. I have been surprised to note how well the suggestion has been received and how many are following it; one minister in Uniontown went so far as to organize a pig club in his church. Now, I want to make one other suggestion, that, in my opinion, is of still greater and more practical importance. For months the great cry has been all through the South to stop growing cotton or reduce the acreage. Chambers of commerce, business leagues, state legislatures, and other bodies have passed resolutions without number urging that we in the South stop growing so much cotton. To stop growing cotton is very easy; in fact, it is always easy to stop work, but merely to stop growing cotton is a mere negative proposition and will not, I fear, leave the South much better off than it is at present. If we destroy, or cripple, a great industry, we should be very sure to have another, or a number of others equally good to put in its place. In this connection it should be kept in mind as a matter of great importance, that if the labor once leaves the farm by reason of changing crops it will be very difficult to get the labor to return to the farm in after years. The great cry is to grow food crops. That is well, but one must keep in mind that the great masses of Negroes who have actually grown the most of the cotton in the South for years, and who live upon the most valuable land in the South, do not hear of the resolutions that are passed by these various bodies. These people have been trained to grow nothing but cotton and do not know how to grow anything else. In fact, in many cases, they have not been permitted and are not now permitted to grow anything else! We must also bear in mind that the largest land owners seldom visit their plantations, some not more than once or twice a year, and hence can be of little service in teaching these Negro tenants how to change all at once from a cotton-producing crop to a food-producing crop—Booker Washington, in the Birmingham Age-Herald. John B. Keys, who came to Oklahoma as a homemaker in 1891, with $65 in his pockets, is one of the wealthiest Negroes in Okmulgee, a thriving city within 30 miles of Muskogee, rich in oil and gas properties. Keys owns a solid block of two-story brick buildings in the heart of the best business section, with 16 cottages and six store buildings, and has the respect of his white and black competitors in business. During the depression of 1897, Keys and his wife, like thousands of other pioneers in Oklahoma, had to undergo many hardships and sustain heavy losses. For days and days they had scarcely enough to eat. They had to go into the woods and gather acorns from which they made soup and porridge. Today his rents amount to $1,000 a month, from $100,000 worth of buildings, and his receipts from the sale of groceries amount to $1,200 a day. Dr. Booker T. Washington, as president of the National Negro Business league, has urged his people to "get off the defensive in explaining why the Last year there were overflows and excessive rainfalls. Many Negroes were unable to make crops at all, especially where they depended upon one crop. A few made some corn and cotton. There is no market for the cotton. They have raised no foodstuff. There is no cash to be gotten. Acute distress prevails among these people. Ask any so-called country banker how many Negroes are begging loans, and his reply will give a fair answer to the conditions everywhere. Something must be done to prevent the repeated recurrence of these distressful conditions. Will the authorities embrace the opportunity for constructive work among the Negro farmers of Texas? The opportunity lies in the well equipped agricultural department of the state college at Prairie View and the inauguration in connection therewith of extension work for the popular education of these Negro farmers in conformation with the provisions of the Smith-Lever bill, which work is being directed by Hon. Clarence Ousley of College Station, Texas. To utilize the plant at Prairie View in this direc- house that we live in so often has the gate off the hinge, the fence paling gone, windows and doors broken and the plastering knocked off. Let us acquire wealth and intelligence so fast that the world will forget our poverty and ignorance. Let us be so thrifty and industrious that people will have no time to talk about our carlessness and idleness. One big, definite fact in the direction of achievement and construction will go farther in securing rights and removing prejudices than many printed pages of defense and explanation." "I have known of the work of the Creek-Seminole Agricultural college, Boley, Okla., for some time. Am acquainted with John C. Leftwich, the president. The college is to be turned over to the Christian church. Brother Leftwich is a man of ability, thoroughly reliable, a Christian, and is the best representative of his race, working for the Christian church, among the colored people of the state. I am glad to commend him to the brethren and can assure them that any contribution will assist one of the most worthy enterprises with which I am acquainted. Receive him in the Lord. The need cannot be overstated. "Yours in him. The man who bears such a letter from J. H. O. Smith as that given above needs no further indorsement as to his integrity or ability. We have recently had the pleasure of meeting President Leftwich and going over his plans. We unhesitatingly indorse his theory of voluntary segregation. The Negro must work out his own problem just as every other race must do, and the presence, in close contact, or in a mixed population of another race, so far removed in many elemental characteristics as is the Anglo-Saxon, invariably comes to be a hindrance to true progress.—Christian Standard. Hampton institute is proud of the excellent record that has been made by the rank and file of its students. The women graduates and former students are engaged in work which aims to elevate the home, the school, and the community in the vital things of life. The Hampton men have been pioneer workers in agricultural and industrial enterprises. They Have sacrificed their personal comforts to engage in uplift work for their people. Since Hampton aims to train young men and women to earn an honest living and help their respective races, it has combined with rare success the elements of industrial and academic education. Dr. George P. Phentx, vice-president of Hampton Institute, has said: "Moral qualities, which in the aggregate make strong character as well as economic efficiency, are developed through this combination of industrial work by day and academic work by night, as they could not be by either alone, and longer hours are made possible in the trade, agricultural, and domestic science departments. "Every student in the trade school has one hour of study early in the morning, eight hours of work in the trade school, and two hours of academic work in the evening period. This makes 11 hours a day, outside of which he must get time for meals, the care of his room, religious services, and recreation. Yet the students gain in health, in skill, in scholarship and in character." tion will do more to build up a better class of Negro citizens in this state than any other one agency. Its wisdom will immediately manifest itself in increased production of a larger variety of crops. The organization of this extension work among Negro farmers at this time is urgent. The effort will meet a hearty response from a grateful people, a patient, hard-working people.—Wade C. Rollins, in the Houston Post.

STAR "CASCARETS" ACT ON LIVER; BOWELS No sick headache, biliousness, bad taste or constipation by morning. Get a 10-cent box. Are you keeping your bowels, liver, and stomach clean, pure and fresh with Cascarets, or merely forcing a passageway every few days with Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or Purgative Waters? Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will make you feel great by morning. They work while you sleep—never gripe, sicken or cause any inconvenience, and cost only 10 cents a box from your store. Millions of men and women take a Cascaret now and then and never have Headache, Billiousness, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach or Constipation. Adv. Cries Not Caused by Pain. Cries Not Caused by Pain. A well-known merchant of New York has a $5 gold piece that he swallowed as a child of five immediately after its presentation to him. Doctors were summoned by twos and three and stomach pumps brought in a hurry. While waiting the little chap cried and cried, refusing to be soothed. His mother, hugging and moaning over her boy, supposed the cries meant pain. Just before the doctors came, however, a sharp inquiry by the donor of the gold piece brought out the sobbing statement by the little chap that he was in pain, but he wanted his gold piece back. Immediately another piece was placed in his hand and almost immediately his cries ceased. Adaptability of Brain. Each vocation makes a different call upon the brain and develops faculties and qualities peculiar to itself, so that as the various professions, trades and specialties multiply, the brain takes on new adaptive qualities, thus giving greater variety and strength to civilization as a mass. When the world was young the brain of man was very primitive, because the demand upon it was largely for self-protection and the acquisition of food, which called only for the development of its lower, its animal part. As civilization advanced, however, there was a higher call upon the brain and more varied development, until today, in the highest civilization, it has become exceedingly complex.—Success Magazine.

A WARNING TO MANY Some Interesting Facts About Kidney Troubles. Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot readily be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1913 in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation in most cases is soon realized, according to sworn statements and verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose ten cents and they will gladly forward it to you by Parcel Post. Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes - 50c and $1.00. Adv. A Philanthropist.

QUICK ACTION ON SHIP PURCHASE MARINE MEASURE BECOMES UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF UPPER HOUSE. REPUBLICANS PLAN FOR DELAY Republicans Oppose Bill as Likely to Draw Us Into the War—May Aid the Cotton Situation In the South. Washington.—Government purchase of ships as proposed in an administrator bill to finance a $10,000,000 corporation, and expend not to exceed $30,000,000 for the purchase or chartering of ocean carriers, came to be the foremost issue in congress. By a vote of 46 to 29 the senate made the ship purchase bill the unfinished business, to be supplanted only by an appropriation measure. Opposition senators showed that there were breakers ahead for the proposed legislation, that an effort was being made to rush the bill with undue haste. Republican senators, among them Senator Gallinger, Lodge and Root, served notice that the measure would be fought to the last ditch. Minority members of the commerce committee filed a report written by Senator Burton and indorsed by Senators Nelson, Perkins, Smith of Michigan, and Oliver, asserting that the plan proposed would not relieve shipping conditions because it would be impossible for the government to get ships enough to do any good. It pointed also danger of international complications arising, declaring that "every craft set afloat by the government would add one more risk of our being drawn into the present war." Fletcher Champions BIII. Senator Fletcher, who has charge of the bill and who recently conferred with President Wilson concerning it, urged the measure in a lengthy speech after republican senators had issued their pronouncement of opposition. He declared the war had produced a shipping famine and the people demanded that the government assist in relieving this crisis and to put the American products on the markets of Europe and South America. He pointed out the fact that cotton sold at 19 cents a pound in Germany when it was bringing 7 cents in the United States. Germany would consume 500,000,000 pounds of cotton if she could get it, he said, and the south had fifteen times that amount to sell. Before the war began, Senator Fletcher declares, England had 5,000 and Germany 2,000 vessels in the overseas trade, while the United States had only six. He said that American merchants gave annually to foreign ship owners $300,000,000 in freight rates. MITCHELL IS PRESIDENT PRO TEM Senator Shaw Retires and Leaves the Feld Clear. Oklahoma City.—Senator E. L. Mitchell of Roger Mills county will be president pro tempore of the senate. The keen rivalry for the coveted honor of presiding over the Oklahoma senate at such times as the ex-officio presiding officer, Lieutenant Governor M. E. Trapp is absent, came to a termination when Senator C. C. Shaw of Mill Creek announced his withdrawal from the race. Both candidates had displayed substantial support. The complete house organization is as follows: A. McCrory, Ringling, speaker. W. A. Durant, Bryan county, speaker pro tempore. Thomas W. Hunter, Hugo, caucus chairman. C. C. Childers, Garfield county caucus secretary. H. L. Saddler of Norman, sergeant-at-arms. Silas W. Cope, Seminole county, first assistant sergeant-at-arms. John T. Jerkins, Caddo, second assistant sergeant-at-arms. NOW ICELAND'S OBSTREPEROUS Island Colony Lays Down the Law to King of Denmark. Reykjavik, Iceland.—Iceland is in the throes of a political crisis, a crisis, which in fact, is nothing less than a quarrel between the liberty party, which is in the ascendency, and his majesty, the king of Denmark, the ruler of Iceland. It has led to the resignation of Prime Minister Eggerz, but he has consented to remain in office for the present and it is said if other matters are arranged to his satisfaction, he will withdraw his resignation altogether. TULSA. OKLA.. STAR So Says A North Carolina Lady In Telling What She Owes To Cardui, The Woman's Tonic. Mt. Aliry, N. C.—Mrs. Ada Hull, of this place, says: "About six years ago I got in very bad health. I suffered terrible pains in my abdomen and back. I dreaded to see the sun rise and I dreaded to see it set, for I suffered such agony. No one except myself will ever know how badly I suffered. The doctor said I was suffering as a result of the menopause. As nothing gave me any relief, I asked the doctor if I hadn't better try Cardul. He said, 'It might help you,' and told my husband to get me a bottle. At this time I was so weak I could not lift my head, and my voice was so weak, people had to lean towards the bed to hear what I said. I looked so bad and had such a dark color that I looked like a dead woman, and my relatives thought I would never get up again. I took one bottle of Cardul and it relieved the pain and suffering so much that my husband got another bottle, and that improved me still more. I began to strengthen and gradually got well. I have now had better health for six years, than I ever had in all my life. I have taken no medicine since, and my health is perfect. Cardul is the finest medicine a woman could use." Try it. At druggists.—Adv. As to Flattery. J. G. Holland declared that a man whom it is proper to praise cannot be flattered, and the man who can be flattered ought not to be praised. But this is an extreme saying which ignores a common human weakness and assumes a strength of mind few possess. As great a man as Gladstone was often "morally intoxicated" with flattery; George Eliot did her best work under the unreasoning praise of her husband and the exaggerated praise of his Kitty, who believed him the greatest of men and did not hesitate to tell him so, unquestionably strengthened the erstwhile Irish leader, Parnell, to action, even if it occasionally unsteadied his reason.

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

Officer Writes of Heroic Assault Against Automatic Guns—Of 142 in Squadron, 58 Replied at Roll Call After Battle. Berlin.—Letters "from the front" are being published in many newspapers in Germany. Extracts from one written by an officer to his wife, from the infirmary, Dlenzel Lothr, which appeared in the Frankfurter Zeitung, is given here: "I was thrown under my horse as he fell, and thus bruised my left side, and contracted a hemorrhage in my thigh. After the exertions of the last few days, I feel very comfortable here, and am well taken care of by the sisters. "August 11 was a great day for our regiment, and in due time will be recorded in history, as were Gravelotte and Mars-la-Tour. It was a deathride in the fullest meaning of that word: against automatic guns and infantry, in which the first, third and fourth squadrons of my regiment, and the second squadron of another regiment took part. One thousand prisoners, including twelve or eighteen commanders, cannons and automatic guns, were captured. "Our brave brigade suffered bitterly; of the 142 men in my squadron, only fifty-eight replied when the roll was called. And I was the only officer! All the rest dead or wounded! "My squadron suffered most, for they took part in the worst attack. Our regiment ought to be spared a little now; at all events, we have the hardest day of the whole campaign behind us. The success, particularly from the moral point of view, is splendid. Everybody behaved splendidly and August 11 will, for all time, be a day of honor for our regiment, and this attack of Lagarde will stand forth as one of the bravest achievements of the whole campaign. "Never before was I as conscious of the proximity of my guardian angel as on that day. I cannot quite explain it, but all the while I was not a bit excited, and had a feeling of absolute safety. "The great moral success of this attack I have mentioned already. It seems quite strange to be counted as one of the Uhlans of Lagarde. Nothing else is talked of here. Officers constantly congratulate one and I cannot suppress a feeling of satisfaction at having taken an active part in an important historical event of the caseign. "How did it all come about? All the while we had been partly in France, partly in Lorraine, wandering about very strenuously, without seeing or accomplishing anything in particular. On the 11th, bright and early, as always in good humor, we started out, realizing less than ever before all that the day might bring. At 9:30, the fighting between artillery and infantry broke out, in which we took a hand at twelve o'clock. "As we advanced, I felt thoroughly indifferent; the only thought that possessed me was to whack away. With remarkable rapidity, one accustoma one's self to the sight of the dead and wounded. One becomes so hardened that the most awful sights seem absolutely natural. Wherever we rode there were the French in their red trousers. Many batteries were destroyed, and the shells burst and the shots sang constantly about one. "A French infantry officer who called 'pardon' I hit on the head. What became of him I do not know. As we were about to enter Lagarde, my horse was shot in the chest and fell under me." "With two of the brave riders of my division, I took shelter in a ditch over which countless shots were whizzing, till at last it quieted down, in the distance I discerned my regiment gathering together; then, to my delight, close by I found my own infantry. With my riders, who now numbered eight, I put myself under the command of that captain, and with this company, with revolver and carbine, I went through the rest of the battle. "With several captured horses, among which was a French artillery horse, I searched for and eventually found my regiment, and there I first learned positive facts concerning our great losses and our glorious victory." DON'T KISS GIRLS, HE SAYS Or "Not Until You Know Them Well." College Lecturer Warns His Students. Philadelphia.—"Don't kiss a girl unless you know her very well," said Dr. B. M. Hartzell in an address before freshmen of the University of Pennsylvania in the Houston club. "And even after you know her better don't take too big chances," he added. The advice on promiscuous kissing was delivered to the freshmen in the fourth of a series of lectures on personal hygiene arranged for members of the incoming class. Doctor Hartzell, who is an instructor at the university, spoke on "The Hygiene of the Skin." He also advised the young men not to take too many cold showers and rubdowns. They are bad for the nerves, he said. Your military transport, after several false starts, finally makes up its mind to go on—at a crawl now—but unfortunately, at Saarbeek, which is suburban Brussels, your free ride to the point is cut short by a conscientious Landsturm sergeant who searches the train and politely points out that the document you produce is good only for transportation to Brussels. And you become for the first time a victim of war, for there are no longer waiting taxicabs or horse cabs, and there is nothing to do but walk to Brussels. At 5 a. m. that place is deader than New York below the dead line. You walk through miles of streets without sighting a military patrol or even a policeman, till you come to the heart of the city. Your daytime impression of Brussels under the German occupation will be of swarms of racing military with motorcars full of husky officers for whom war seems to mean one long joy ride. Country Under Water. It takes you six hours to get from Brussels to Antwerp by military trains. As you near your destination you see whole stretches of countryside still under water, where the desperate defenders tried to check the German advance by flooding operations. It looks like pictures of the Dayton flood. In front of the Hotel Terminus, by the main railroad station, you come upon an old friend fallen on evil days—a London motor bus, shorn of its old advertising glory and painted gray by the Germans. Many little straws you see on all sides point to the fact that the Germans intend to sit tight in Antwerp. Their occupation has a look of prospective permanency. Curiously enough, you see mostly American flags here. The Belgian red-yellow-black is banned, the German flag is flown sparingly; the Stars and Stripes are everywhere in evidence. More than half of the inhabitants have already returned. More of the stores have reopened. Business in many lines is beginning to go on again as usual. Hackmen again try to cheat you. The German civil and military governments seem to be running smoothly and efficiently. On the whole, Antwerp is now disappointing to the sensation seeker. Zeppelin Attack on London. The German military government is intrenched in the Municipal building, next to the Hotel Antoine, which is also pre-empted by the new government. Here, doing desk duty, you will meet an officer with a hard-luck story with a moral. "No, thanks, I don't dare smoke," he says. "I contracted a weakness of the heart Zeppelinning. I was commander of a Zeppelin for a year and a half, during which we negotiated 142 flights, aggregating 14,000 kilometers. Just my hard luck that I can't command one of the Zeppelins that will visit London." As to the date of the "visit" he will hazard no opinion, but "there will be more popular rejoicing over a successful air attack on London than over the fall of Paris," he adds. It is a significant phenomenon that you can't talk with any officer or common soldier five minutes without having him switch to the all-absorbing theme of the Zeppelin attack on England. It seems to be almost a national obsession, and the people are waiting patiently for the "blood red letter day," confident that it is coming. Whenever you meet a high German officer on Belgian soil a good way to lead off is to ask him how he justifies his presence there, and so when you are ushered into the presence of his excellency Von Frankenburg and Ludwigsdorf, adjutant and right hand man to the military governor, General von Huhne, you ask him about it, too His answer is so typical of the German point of view as to be worth repeating. "Oh, we justify our presence in two ways," he says. "Firstly, we knew that Belgium's neutrality would be violated by our enemies if we did not 'beat them to it,' and if any further proof were needed it was furnished by papers found in the archives at Brussels. Secondly, self-defense. Germany is not engaged in a war of revenge, but it's as if you went along a lonely road and were fallen upon by a band of highwaymen. They say we began this war. It would have been the stupidest moment for Germany to start such a war, because the allies were so united, when no political or other question was between them." For the next 26 hours the "fog of war" settles around your movements. When it lifts again it finds you sauntering along the towpath of a canal to the north of Bruges, nose pointed in the direction of the distant thunder of the big guns toward the coast. Unfortunately at a turn of the road you run into a patrol of Death's Head Hussars—five strong. You know they are Death's Head Hussars by the small silver skull and bones on the front of the shakos. You Are an Englishman! You Are an Englishman! The leader eyes suspiciously your Piccadilly derby and sterling silver mounted cane and then announces unequivocally: "You are an Englishman." You lead off with your emergency passport, then you play your whole suit of red-sealed American diplomats and consuls, then your purple Prussian eagles (but you have none permitting you to walk along this canal)! You offer your photograph in evidence and ransack your pockets for more documents, producing successively a letter from a prominent member of the reichstag, a letter of introduction to General von Bulow, an unpaid tailor's bill, etc., but Death's Head Hussars have no sense of humor on patrol. They even re- FOES FORGET HATE French and Germans Enjoy Unofficial Armistice Daily. Permits Freedom From Trenches and Songs Enliven the Day—Germans Have No Such Understanding With the English. London.—A German officer attached to the great general staff in a dispatch, a copy of which has reached London, mentions a curious system of arranging unofficial armistices which has lately grown up between the allies and the Germans facing each other day and night at close quarters in the trenches in Northern France. He almost makes one believe that the French and Germans, after weeks of intrenchment within a few yards of each other, have lost their animosities and regard the great siege battle north of the Alsine as a sort of friendly match away from home. He has a bitter pen, however, when he writes about the English. "From noon to two o'clock in the afternoon," he says, "both sides in the trenches call an armistice. It is a strict agreement, quite unofficial, between groups of men in the front firing lines, and it has been honorably kept so far by both sides. "When a soldier has to leave the trench for some reason or other he raises the butt end of his rifle in the air as a signal to the enemy. The enemy answers the signal in same manner, and there is a mutual agreement to leave the trenches at the same time. The understanding is that the German or the Frenchman shall be allowed to leave the trench without being fired on. If the enemy should break the armistice and fire on our man we would reply instantly and kill the corresponding Frenchman as he was leaving the trenches. This agreement with the Frenchman works amicably, but with the English we have not attempted to come to such an understanding. Our bitterness toward them prevents it. "The trenches are so close together that the Frenchmen can hear us singing our songs. They listen, and when we have finished they burst into song and we listen to them. We take it in turns to give these little concerts, which are generally held during the armistice. The Frenchmen seem fascinated by one favorite song. It is a famous old students' air from Heldelberg. The words were composed by an officer in the trenches." The song, freely translated, describes life in the trenches in the rainy season, the horrid oozy sound when the boot is taken off and the jet of mud that strikes the ear when a comrade jumps into a trench, the last line of one verse being: "The only things which are dry are our throats and our humor." STATE NORMAL NOTES. By Mattie L. Campbell Nashville, Jan. 1, 1915. The winter term of the Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School for Negroes opens Monday, Jan. 4th. The last term was the most successful in the history of the school. The New Year brings the largest and best student body we have had, several new members added to the faculty, and quite a few departments open. The State Board of Education has been unusually active in pushing the interest of the school. All available space in dormitories has been taken and overflow quarters have been provided. The outlook is the brightest in the history of the school. Prof. W. J. Hale, president of the above mentioned State Normal School, is well known in Oklahoma, where he has many friends who will be glad to learn of his success.

Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

ALL AMERICAN NATIONS INVITED Credits to Be Discussed; Business In dependence of Europe Sought by Plan of Wilson Admin- itation Washington.—All Central and South American nations have been invited by the United States government to send their ministers of finance and leading bankers to Washington for a conference with treasury department officials and financiers of this country on commercial problems confronting the two Americas as a result of the European war. Acceptances already have been cabled by several of the countries and the conference probably will be held early in the spring. Officials of the treasury, commerce and state departments look forward to this as an important step toward bringing two important American continents in closer relationship than ever before. They point out that in the Pan-American movement lies the hope of South America for financial independence of Europe and suggest the possibility of New York becoming at least a serious competitor with London for supremacy as a world's financial center. Credits Main Demand. It has long been recognized that the crux of the difficulties in the way of commerce between the United States and other nations lies in the question of credits. South and Central American buyers have been accustomed to seek and easily obtain long term credits in Europe. At present bankers of the United States do practically no business directly with South America and foreign exchange with countries is carried on with London. Largely to this has been attributed the comparatively small amount of trade between the United States and her next door neighbor to the south Officials who discussed the situation hope to see an exchange of views at the forthcoming conference that will lead to many connections between houses in the United States and those in the principal South American countries with more branches of American banks there. BRITISH NAVY LOSES ANOTHER SHIP Formidable Goes Down With 600 Mer Aboard. London.—Germany ended the old year by a second air raid on Dunkirk, on the north coast of France, four aeroplanes participating in the bomb-dropping expedition, and ushered In the new by sinking the British battleship Formidable. The destruction of the Formidable in the English channel by a mine or a submarine boat, although one of those events Englishmen now realize must be expected so long as the British navy is compelled to keep the seas, has caused widespread grief. This is due not so much to the loss of the ship, which was fifteen years old, and cost about $5,000,000, as it is for the men—600 in number—who are believed to have gone down with her. Thus far only 150 men of the Formidable's crew are known to have been rescued. A light cruiser picked up eighty and a Torbay trawler seventy. Among the rescued are eight officers and six midshipmen. SEVERE DEFEAT FOR AUSTRIANS Lose a Third of the Force Sent Into Galacia. London—The war news coming from the Russian front is highly gratifying to the allies. There has been a slackening of fighting in northern Poland between the Vistula and the Pilica rivers where the Russians have captured some German trenches, prisoners and guns—an indication, it is believed here, that the German frontal attack on the army guarding Warsaw has been definitely checked. In southern Poland the Russians also record some successes, while in Galacia they have apparently inflicted a defeat on the Austrians almost as serious as that which Emperor Francis' troops suffered in Servis. Since their latest offensive commenced the Russians have taken 50,000 Austrian prisoners and captured many guns, according to the Russian official reports.. It must have lost more than a third of the number in killed, wounded and prisoners. The TULSA. OKLA.. STAR NO CHANCE OF DECISIVE VICTORY STERN FIGHTING CONTINUES AFTER MONTHS OF WARFARE Armies in all the Campaigns Seem so Evenly Matched That Fight- ing Goes On Indefinitey. London.—The new year finds belligerent Europe, after five months of war, fighting as sternly as at the beginning, but seemingly without prospects of immediate big victories to which the combatants have set as their tasks. The Austrians have been driven out of the greater part of Galicia again and, according to a Vienna statement, the Russians have crossed the Carpathians for the third time; but in Poland, where the more important combat is in progress the armies of the Russian and German emperors are still fighting for the banks of the rivers which intersect the country between the upper Vistula and Pilica rivers. In Flanders and France there has been a lull in the fighting on most of the front disturbed occasionally, however, by artillery fire, attacks and counter attacks. The French announced they carried half of the village of Steinbach, in upper Alsace, which, while of little or no importance itself, stands at the foot of a hill which commands a large part of the surrounding country. It is in this region, as in the vicinity of Noyon and between the Argonne ridge and the Meuse, that the French have been pushing their offensive with the greatest force and where they claim to have made the most progress. WHITMAN GOVERNOR OF N. Y. Accepts His Own Resignation as District Attorney. Albany.—As the first bell sounded the birth of the new year over the city, Charles S.

Immediately after accepting the resignation, he designated Charles A. Perkins of New York, his successor in the districts attorney's office. JESUS CARRANZA IS CAPTURED And Held As Hostage By General Santibanez. Washington—Elizo Arredondo, head of the Carranza agency here, issued a statement summarizing dispatches from Vera Cruz, confirming reports of the capture of General Jesus Carranza, brother of the first chief, by General Alfonso Santibanez in San Geronimo, state of Oaxaca, on December 30. The general and his son and nephew are being held as hostages, but his entire staff has been executed by Santibanez. The statement said: "The first chief has received word from Santibanez that if he will sanction some arrangements claimed to have been made between Santibanez and General Jesus Carranza, and will pardon his treachery and allow him to retain his military office, he will release General Carranza and his two relatives. He makes the threat that unless his conditions are met he will execute General Jesus Carranza and his son and nephew. "Carranza's reply, feelingly dictated, was: Zapata Defeated. Vera Cruz.—Four thousand followers of General Carranza, according to official reports received here, defeated 5,000 men under General Efemio Zapata brother of Emiliano Zapata, and Andrew Almazon. The fighting took place at Tepaeca, northwest of Tehucan, in the state of Puebla, and lasted four hours.

BRINGS DEATH TO SWIMMERS Gold Water Penetrating the Ear Declared to Be One Source of Great Danger. Sudden death of swimmers has never been explained satisfactorily, but it is generally assumed that it is due to cramps that affect the respiratory muscles. The Medical Record says there is another theory that "has never had the attention it merits." This is that cold water penetrating the ear sets up an irritation in the delicate passages of the inner ear. It cites an address delivered by Doctor Guettich before the Berlin Otological society, in which he revived this theory. The irritation of the labyrinth of the inner ear by cold water might cause sudden paralysis, just as a shock to it through a sharp blow on the chin will cause a "knock-out." The symptoms of the swimmer and the fighter are similar; they can make motions but cannot direct them; they may become temporarily unconscious. In the case of the swimmer, of course, drowning follows unless some one helps him. The Medical Record says that persons with perforated ear drums are those chiefly menaced by this accident, although it may occur to others. And this in spite of the fact that children with large perforations of the ear drum often swim and dive with impunity. His Lower Extremity. He—I hear that you are knitting socks for the fighting soldiers. She—Yes; man's extremity is woman's opportunity, you know. It is about as well to advise people to stick to coffee until they get hit hard enough so that they will never forget their experience. A woman writes and her letter is condensed to give the facts in a short space: "I was a coffee slave and stuck to it like a toper to his 'cups,' notwithstanding I frequently had severe attacks of sick headache; then I used more coffee to relieve the headache, and this was well enough until the coffee effect wore off. "Finally attacks of rheumatism began to appear, and ultimately the whole nervous system began to break down and I was fast becoming a wreck. "After a time I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum. This was half a year ago. The result has been most satisfactory. "The rheumatism is gone entirely, nerves practically well and steady, digestion almost perfect, never have any more sick headaches and am gaining steadily in weight and strength."

Knight, who died recently, is an example of woman whose brain could work as readily on mechanical lines as on household lines. It is said that Miss Knight patented 87 inventions and that her picture has been hung in the patent office in Washington. Miss Knight may have been the youngest inventor among women, as she invented, when she was twelve years old, a stop-motion device for preventing the steel-tipped shuttles of mill looms from falling out and injuring the operators. One may invent hourly, and yet produce nothing practical, but the true test of Miss Knight being a successful inventor is answered by the fact that most of her patented inventions were taken up by manufacturers. A machine she invented for making and folding square-bottomed paper bags in 1871 is still in use, and a tin can which she invented only a few years ago was at once taken up by several canners. Most of her inventions related to rubber, cotton and shoe machinery. —Women Lawyers' Journal. Both Puzzled. Politics—What is your attitude in regard to our present form of government?

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 10 DEBORAH AND BARAK DELIVER ISRAEL. LESSON TEXT—Judges 4:4-16. GOLDEN TEXT—The righteous cried, and Jehovah heard and delivered them out of all their troubles.—Ps. 34:17 R. V. There are two inspired accounts of this victory, one in prose (ch. 4) and one in poetry (Judges 5). They present different views of the same event. Israel had been oppressed for 20 years under Jabin and Sisera, his chief captain (4:2) though it seems to have been that the northern tribes of Naphtali, Asher and Zebulun, the Gallilee of Christ's day, were chiefly concerned. Mother in Israel. 1. Deborah's Call to Service, vv. 4-9. As the people forsook God he forsook them, and they became easy prey. If we withdraw from his service we also withdraw from his protection. Although Joshua had burned Hazo1 (Joshua 11:1-11), yet because of Israel's backsliding it is now strong enough to become the ruler. It is so with sin—allow it to exist and it will conquer. When, however, Israel repented and cried unto God (v. 3) he reised up a deliverer and in this case it was a "mother in Israel" (ch. 5:7). The word Deborah means "bee," and it is suggested that "she answered her name by her industry, sagacity and usefulness to the public, her sweetness to her friends and sharpness to her enemies" (Matthew Henry). Her husband's name is given, but none of his achievements. From her dwelling place at Jebus, as she sat beneath a palm tree she gave forth her wisdom and judgment to the people who brought their difficulties before her (Ex. 18:13; Deut. 17:8-12). Judgment of sin always precedes any manifestation of grace (I Cor. 11:31, 82). Deborah, the judge, recognized the gravity of the situation, for she was not only a judge, but a prophetess by divine appointment (II Pet. 1:21). When she called Barak at once recognized her note of authority (v. 6). Deborah gave Barak explicit instruction and direction. In this chapter only the two tribes most interested are mentioned (5:17, 18). Bold. Sagacious Leader. II. Barak's Conquest of Sisera, vv. 10-16. Barak was a bold, sagacious leader and chose one of the world's best and most famous battlefields, Esdraelon. Barak led his men to Mt. Tabor, from which could be seen the whole region where Sisera's armies were spread out upon the plain. From chapter 5 it appears that some came to the battle from the tribes of Manasseh and Issachar (5:14, 15) and that others were expected who failed to obey the summons (5:15, 17). From the slopes of Mt. Tabor, Deborah and Barak saw Sisera and his iron charriots advancing across the plain. One of the descendants of Hobab, Moses' brother-in-law (Num. 24:22 R. V. m., and Judges 1:16) had revealed the place of Barak's camp (v. 11). Heber should have been in the land of Judah and Simeon and not in such close proximity to the enemies of Israel. Josephus says that when Barak saw Sisera's army drawn up, and attempting to surround the mountain of his encampment his heart failed him, and he determined to retire to a place of greater safety. Deborah, however, urged Barak to attempt the battle, "for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand." The thing was as sure to be done as if it were done already. As we read verses 11 and 12, together with 5:17-19, it would look as though Sisera seemed to have the advantage against Barak and his ten thousand men. Sisera did not, however, count upon Barak's powerful ally—God, "Is not Jehovah gone out before them?" Deborah had enthusiasm and zeal, but needed Barak's action. She depended upon the sure word of God and was devoid of fear (Rom. 8:31). She knew that victory was certain, for God had said so (v. 7). Her charge, "Up, Barak!" was a clarion call and served to nerve the entire army of Israel. Verse 15 tells us who it was that won the battle that day (see also 5:20, 21; Josh. 10:10; Chron. 15:15-17). Even the stars fought against Sisera, meaning that God turned the elements to the advantage of Israel's army. Showers of meteors have been recorded in this land in recent times and 5:21 tells of the floods of water that "swept away," overthrew, the charriots of Sisera. The word discomfited," we are told, scarcely suggests the sudden terror and confusion which fell upon Sisera's army. Like all of God's victories, it was most complete. ENS! IT SALIVATES!

Of course, when she stopped in front of the jeweler's window, he had to stop, too. It would hardly have been polite to walk on and leave her there. "O, see the tray full of lovely diamonds rings!" she crowed. "Shouldn't be surprised," he replied. "But come on, we've seen them now, you know." "They're the gorgeousest engagement rings!" she sighed. "The diamonds look diamond colored now, but when you put them on your finger they're a bright pink." "Peruke, I hardly believe that," he rebuked. "They do! They do! Come and I'll show you." And she dragged him into the shop and had the jeweler bring the rings in out of the window. "Now slip one on my finger and we'll see," she pouted, and held out the dangerous finger of her left hand, and, with considerable curiosity, he slipped a ring on it. "Sigourd!" she exclaimed happily. "This is so sudden!" "Peruke!" he cried.—Detroit Free Press. STOP EATING MEAT IF KIDNEYS OR BACK HURT Take a Glass of Salts to Clean Kidneys If Bladder Bothers You—Meat Forms Uric Acid. Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, acid stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary irritation. The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grape and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease.—Adv.

Glimpses of Light Easy to Find Even to Those Confirmed in It does not require battles to bring out the finer side of human nature—the side always nearer to the surface of the individual than the cynic is willing to admit. In the everyday round we see frequent exhibitions of it. Here is a sample sent me by a Philadelphia business man: "I was walking with my wife in the country on the outskirts of Burlington, N. J., last Sunday, and we noticed ahead of us a man leading by the hand a little boy. "The little boy wore one of those metal braces, running from his hip to his foot, and the poor little fellow was hobbling along as best he could, with the help of the man. As we caught up with the pair, the man stopped and did something to the brace and then told us in broken Italian that he found the 'kid' lying in the road crying, and had learned that he wandered from home, about a half mile, and while playing he had fallen and broken his brace. "Then he told us he had 'fixa d' fixa' as best he could and was taking him home. "Then they started out and the little beggar reached up his little hand to the poor Italian and they started off together. The man said, 'Take it easy, son we got lots o' time.'" From fields of war to roadsides of peace the story is the same. Where the smoke of battle darkens the sunset and where the thin stream that curls upward from the home fireside beribbons the evening sky, the heart of the average person ever is ready to respond to the call of human suffering, even though it come from one who an hour before was despised as an enemy. With all its faults and shortcomings—which are our faults and shortcomings—this is a pretty good world. Prized Relics for Museum. The collection of Egyptian antiques in Dundee museum has just been enriched by a selection of interesting articles presented by the Rev. Dr. Colin Campbell. In a letter to the committee, Doctor Campbell said that he could vouch for all the articles being genuine, as he had got most of them himself, and they were found at Thebes. Included in the gift are nine inscribed funeral cones, 18 ostracs, or potsherds, consisting of letters, petitions, receipts for taxes, contracts, accounts, etc., written with black ink in Coptic and Demotic, several fragments and strips of mummy linen cloth, inscribed in hieratic writing to serve as charms for the deceased, and other similar objects. It should be the constant endeavor of every man to deserve the good opinion he has of himself. **OUR OWN DRUGGIST WILL TELL YOU** Murine Eye Remedy for Red Wash, Watery Eye and Amplified Eyelids.

"I wish to see Miss Bluffham," said the young man with brown shoes and red hair. "She is not in, sir," answered the maid, with a glibness that told of long practice in the ways of deceit. "Are—are you sure?" faltered the youth, nervously twisting a mustache that only became apparent when attention was thus directed to it. I Used Peruna. Am all Right Now. I owe my Health to Peruna. The maid's eyebrows elevated themselves. "Do you doubt her word, sir?" she asked, reproachfully. Blushing deeply over his unworthy thought he turned and went away. "Hello!

Winnemucca, Nev.—A compromise has been brought about, the terms of which are not made public, between John G. Taylor and his son, John G. Taylor Jr., in the $123,000 suit over a claim to money derived from the sale of 11,000 sheep. The suit was filed in the district court of Elko, but the compromise was brought about when friends of the father and son arranged a secret meeting here. The younger Taylor alleged in his suit that the money to be derived from the sale of a band of 11,000 sheep, minus the cost of caring for them, had been promised him when he reached his majority, by his father. He is now of age, but up to the time of the filing of the suit no offer to settle had been made by his father. The sheep were sold for $143,000, and he figured the cost of their upkeep at $20,000, leaving $123,000 as the sum due him.
