Tulsa Star

A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING State Senate Excludes The Tulsa Star! Aureonia Senator Keller Objects to The Star in Assembly And Senate Concurs in His Request THE NEGRO AND THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD. More than fifty years ago the Appomatox Court House in the commonwealth of old Va. General Robt. E. Lee the greatest soldier of the confederacy, delivered his sword in military surrender to U. S. Grant, his only military compeer of the whole 19th century. The modesty of General Grant was emphasized in that instance by the military dignity of General Lee. The confederate states had been devastated by war. The black man and the white man had parted company at the plantation homestead. The one to take up arms at the front for corcible arbitrament of his construction of "the rights of the states" as provided by the fathers of the republic, the other to care for and protect as best he might, to cultivate, harvest and garner the necessary foodstuff for both laymen at home and soldiers at the front. Until the proclamation of the immortal Lincoln reached the Negro over the heads of both armies he remained faithfully upon the plantation keeping his side of the unwritten compact. In leaving his home for the union lines the Negro enacted no deeds of violence notwithstanding Lincoln's proclamation had made him the enthuisastic ally of the union forces. His enlistment in the union army brought him face to face with his former master on the line of battle. The historic instance at Appomatox left the Negro homeless and shelterless in a wilderness of despair, seized in ownership of no single foot of State Se Senator Keller Star in Assem Concurs Taking exceptions to a Negro paper eulogizing Negro Statesmen of re-construction days, Senator Keller of the State legislature now in session at Oklahoma City, at the beginning of the session of the Senate Monday morning, arose to a point of personal privilege and after denouncing the Tulsa Star for publishing an article portraying the valuable service of the Negro to his country, his statesmanship, etc., during the days of reconstruction, moved that all copies of the Star be removed from the desks of each Senator, that further issues of said paper be excluded from the Senate Chamber. The motion prevailed and hereafter the State Senators who may be counted in that class of men who are ever ready and willing to extend a helping hand to their brother in black and who are always anxious to learn of his progress, who are willing at all times to give the Negro credit there is due him (granting there are such men in the Senate) must be denied the privilege of reading The Tulsa Star every Saturday morning as has been their custom. Senator Keller as a new member of the State Senate from Love County, down on the border line of Texas. Judging from his hostile action against The Tulsa Star he is doubtless one of those born Southerners who can recognize some virtue in everything and everybody—except a Negro. There is a class of Southern white men who find their greatest glory in vilifying and abusing the Negro. When the would-be politicians of this class feels that he wants to attract public attention, especially when he is aware of his inability to cope with the great economic questions of the day, he invariably assails the Negro, and as a rule he can tell you more about the black man than the latter ever knew about himself—to let him tell it. It may be that the Senator is a native son of Mississippi and like some white men of that locality, would not concede that any Negro, however brilliant, was the peer of any white man, however benighted or dull. Drawing our own conclusions as to the temperment and disposition of the Senator from Love County and missing the expressed opinion of that honorable gentleman for whatsoever it may or may not be worth, we are somewhat surprised at the concurrence of the Senate of the great State of Oklahoma in this unique, not to say unusual and unfair method of denounce- THE NEGRO AND THE RE More than fifty years ago the commonwealth of old Va.

The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 24 1915. ing a newspaper for its exercise of its constitutional guarantee of free speech. The article which seems to have occasioned such great displeasure was both in conception and intention innocent of offense in any and every direction whatsoever, The Star, a Negro newspaper, simply desired to present the merits of a Negro man who was in the dark days of reconstruction, and is today, because of his sagacious statesmanship, a credit not only to his race, but to the great state of Mississippi and to the genius and possibilities of our institutions of government. John R. Lynch, the subject of the editorial which gave unintended offense, was born in Natchez, Miss., was emancipated by Lincoln's proclamation, conquored the secrets of the text books and had himself graduated from the law; was speaker of the house during reconstruction, was elected twice to the American Congress from the so called "Shoe String" district in Mississippi. served efficiently in the house as a colleague of the late martyred Wm. McKinley, receiving the plaudit of that great president and was appointed by him Pay Master in the U. S. Army and is now a retired officer with rank of Major and Majors pay. While the Star is aversed to encourage vaulting political ambition in the younger Negro, preferring to see them till the soil and turn their attention to useful industry, yet we deem it our mission, our binding duty to hold up to them as an example worthy of emulation, the life works and achievements of such Negro men as John R. Lynch. In thus defending our position the Star disclaims all animous. On the contrary we are thankful to the Senate for this universal celebrity which perhaps the Star could never have obtained in any other way—a distinction which certainly no other Negro paper, and we doubt any white paper has ever received in the United States. In our anxiety to find justification of the alleged offensive charge we have submitted the editorial in question to many prominent white men of this city, some of them former members of the State legislature, but none of them round anything which in their opinion justified the heroic action of the Senate. We reprint the editorial below for the information of our readers and respectfully request a second reading and reconsideration of the hostile attitude of the State Senate: --- "No cottage did he possess, no foot of land in all that wilderness" He had only earths green carpet for his bed and heavens cerulean sky for his roof. Therefore, former master and former slave both went intuitively back again in these changed conditions to their plantation homes. It has been said of those days of reconstruction tripping immediately upon the heels of the civil war that the general government at Washington had for purposes of tantalization and moral and political torture placed the government of those states into the hands of former slaves adventures, the latter known in common parlance as "carpet baggers." This accusation is only in part if at all true. It is to be remembered that the government was almost altogether without loyal friends and supporters in that section. The Negro was then as in every other instance where he has been trusted in matters of private or public policy, almost the only loyal friend at the South upon whom the government of the United States could rely. It must be remember also that the undisputed valor of the confederate soldiers had been whipped into submission at Appomatax, but had never been conquored into surrender or abandonment of their opinion. There stands today in the respective states where Negroes at that time had political control, much valuable legislation, many valuable laws enacted by them which even their most diligent political foes have seen no just cause to repeal. For example the Statutes in the state of Mississippi upon finance, education and many features of taxation enacted by the reconstruction legislature, of which her Negro son, Hon. John R. Lynch, the peer of any Mississippian, however eminent, was the speaker, remain unrepealed until this present day. And what is true of the statutes of the state of Mississippi is equally true of several of the respective considerate states. Congressman Madden Defends The Negro In U. S. Congress Illinois Man Reminds Congressional Colleagues of Race's Loyalty to The Nation and Defeats Amendment land. It is certainly gratifying to the colored people of America to know that there are men in Congress who are courageous enough to fearless champion their cause. Recently when some of the rabid minded Southern democrats sought to humiliate the Negro race by passing a nefarious amendment to the general immigration bill, there was at least one white man in congress who appreciated the Negro for his true worth and his fidelity to his country. That man was Congressman Madden from Illinois. We here publish an extract from his speech against the amendment: "Mr. Speaker, beginning on line 8, page 8, of H. R. R. 6060, the Immigration Bill, passed by the House at the last session of Congress and reported to the House from the Senate on Tuesday, provides— "That after four months from the approval of this act, in addition to the aliens who are by law now excluded from addmission into the United States, the following persons also be excluded from admission thereto, to-wit: All members of the African or black race." "This language would seem to make it impossible for a Negro, a citizen of the United States, to reenter this country if he happened to be abroad for any reason. "This is the most drastic legislation I have even seen proposed. It is discrimination of a kind that can not be justified. "Mr. Speaker, the possession of power should be used with great care. We never ought to use power unjustly. Men who have power can afford to be just. It would be unjust beyond measure to adopt this amendment to the immigration law. One-tenth of the American people are of the black race, and no people in all the world's history has ever been more loyal to a Government than have these people to this. (Applause.)" "No other race numbering 10,000." 000 of the nation's population would submit to the indignities that have been imposed upon these people. Underway 10 suzizipua supupeus sup apica of African blood would be excluded from the right to return to America's shores. They have lived here for 250 years. They did not come here of their own accord. They have fought in every battle in which the nation has been engaged. They have given their life blood for the preservation of the Union; they have fought at New Orleans with Gen. Jackson, and in the Civil War 350,000 of these men volunteered that the Nation might be saved. They fought in 449 engagements, and left 35,000 on the field of battle, in order that we here today might live in a country protected by a single flag. (Applause.)

Dear Co-Workers and Friends: The Oklahoma State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs now have a bill before the legislature asking for the establishment of a State Training School or Reformatory for wayward and incorrigible Negro boys and girls. We are earnestly requesting the help and co-operation of all Club women of the State, in securing its passage. As is well known, we now have no place in the State, for the care and training of our wayward youth, consequently many of our boys and girls who might be trained into useful men and women, are drifting into those forms of crime which will ultimately make them confirmed criminals, a disgrace to the race and a menance to society. We are asking the assistance of not only the Club women, but of every worth while organization in the State We earnestly solicit the help of the Ministerial Alliance, the Fraternal Orders, the Commercial Clubs, the Medical and Bar Associations and any others who might feel inclined. We trust that the clubs and these organizations will, as a body, write letters to each Senator and Representative from your district, setting forth the great need of such an institution and urging them to support the bill. We also trust that each will make as great personal effort as possible. We are trying to bring every influence to bear upon the members of the Assembly, and if we would receive the consideration from them, which we hope to do it will mean the concerted action of our people all over the State. Please give this matter your earnest consideration and pray for our success. Yours for "Lifting as we Climb." MRS. H. H. P. JACOBSON.

You don't want a slow remedy when your stomach is bad—or an uncertain one—or a harmful one—your stomach is too valuable; you mustn't injure it. Pape's Diapepsin is noted for its speed in giving relief; its harmlessness; its certain unfalling action in regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs. Its millions of cures in indigestion, dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach troubles has made it famous the world over. Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home—keep it handy—get a large fifty-cent case from any dealer and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes headache, dizziness and nausea; eructations of acid and undigested food—remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness, certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a revelation to those who try it.—Adv. New Tautologies. "That proposition is self-evident," said W. P.

I suffered from a female trouble, and the doctors decided I had a tumorous growth and would have to be operated upon, but I refused as I do not believe in operations. I had fainting spells, bloated, and could hardly stand the pain in my left side. My husband insisted that I try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful I did, for I am now a well woman. I sleep better, do all my housework and take long walks. I never fail to praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for my good health."—Mrs. J. M. RESCH, 1900 West Broadway, Louisville, Ky.

LULL IN FIGHTING AT SOISSONS RENEWAL OF FIERCE CLASH IN WEST IS IMMINENT. Eastern Conflict Without Decision; Turks Army Again Re- treating. London.—The omission from the German official report of any reference to Solissons, some of the recent marked German success, and the French statement that there has been no change in that region leads to the belief that a renewal of the violent struggle there is impending, the temporary quiet being due to the fact that neither side cares to risk an offensive in the present circumstances. At widely separated points elsewhere on the western front there have been engagements, but the weather again is playing an important part. The storm in Belgium prevents operations, except artillery duels and snow in the Vosges at the other extremity of the line, makes attacks exceedingly difficult. In the Argonne, however, fighting is almost continuous and each side claims minor successes. For the time being, the Germans seem to be more on the offensive than the defensive. The German reports of all the eastern operations are very brief, but those of the Russians are more in detail and it is believed the Russians are again menacing East Prussia and Posen. The Turks, according to reports, have been dealt another staggering blow after their determined stand in the snow at Kara Urgan, in the Caucasus. They are fighting rear guard actions, but are being pressed back toward Erzerum in great disorder. The Turkish garrison at Adrianople, the partial withdrawal of which previously was reported, now has withdrawn completely, according to an Athens dispatch which gives no explanation. The London papers print a forecast appearing in the Paris Figaro that Italy, Greece, Roumania and Bulgaria will join the allies, but there is nothing more definite relative to this turn of affairs than there was a fortnight ago. Bayonet Decisive Factor. Characteristic fighting is going on in northern France where the village of La Boisselle, twenty miles to the northeast of Amlens, was taken from the French by the Germans and later recaptured by the French. At this point there has been much work with the bayonet. A French ammunition depot blew up and part of the buildings were destroyed by fire. The Germans taking advantage of this incident attacked the French with the steel and drove them to positions beyond. In a fierce counter-attack some hours later the French recaptured the position. In Galicia the Prussians have succeeded to the east of Zakliczyn in forcing the Russians to evacuate their trenches for several miles. Nowhere word has been received regarding the operations of the Russian forces in Kirlibaba pass, through which they expected to carry their aggressive campaign into Hungary, but Vienna reports that in the Carpathians only patrol skirmishes have occurred. The Prussian losses in the war as disclosed in 136 lists according to a Vienna dspatch number 877,107. The Austrian losses, not including those of the last two months, according to the same authority number nearly 284,000 in killed, wounded and prisoners. GUTIERREZ MOVES MYSTERIOUS But Convention Is Worried About $5,000,000 Which Is Missing. Washington.—When General Gutierrez left Mexico City he took with him most of the troops garrisoning the capital. State department advises indicate that Gutierrez' present command is 5,000 strong and few soldiers remained in the capital. The state department is particularly anxious to know whether Gutierrez has abandoned all claims to the provisional presidency or has gone elsewhere with part of his cabinet to set up a government there in defiance of the conventionalist faction in Mexico City. That General Gutierrez be called upon to give an accounting regarding the 10,500,000 pesos ($5,250,000), which they claim should be in the treasury, was demanded by members of the sovereign convention. The reason for the departure of Gutierrez has not yet been explained to the state department and the belief prevails that with the 5,000 troops accompanying him from Mexico City and Generals Blanco and Robles he is endeavoring either to join General Obregon and the Carranza element or intends to set up an independent faction TULSA. OKLA.. STAR Important to all Woman Readers of this Paper Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, bearing-down feelings, headache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be a blessing to thousands of nervous, over-worked women. Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy will do for them.

Pat had just arrived from the Emerald isle and he was feeling very hungry, as he had not eaten anything since four o'clock last evening and it was now eight o'clock in the morning. So he went into a restaurant close by and asked the waiter how much would he charge him for breakfast. "A quarter," replied the waiter. "Well, how much will ye charge me for my dinner?" said Pat. "Thirty-five cents," replied the waiter. "Well, what will ye charge me for my supper, then?" "Twenty cents," was the reply. "Then, if ye please, will ye give me my supper?" said Pat. Long Enough Already. A rather fussy man traveling from New York to Philadelphia had been much annoyed by his opposite panion, a tall, lanky fellow whose bony knees troubled him not a little. There was a stop of several minutes at Trenton and the tall traveler rose from his seat, and said with a yawn: "I guess I'll get out and stretch my legs a bit." "Good gracious!" exclaimed the other, "don't do that unless you are prepared to pay double fare, or to take a compartment all to yourself." On the Rocks. Robinson—I hear you fell out with the bank.

"I have been a coffee drinker, more or less, ever since I can remember, until a few months ago I became more and more nervous and irritable, and finally I could not sleep at night for I was horribly disturbed by dreams of all sorts and a species of distressing nightmare. "Finally, after hearing the experience of numbers of friends who had quit coffee and were drinking Postum, and learning of the great benefits they had derived, I concluded coffee must be the cause of my trouble, so I got some Postum and had it made strictly according to directions. "I was astonished at the flavor and taste. It entirely took the place of coffee, and to my very great satisfaction, I began to sleep peacefully and sweetly. My nerves improved, and I wish I could wean every man, woman and child from the unwholesome drug-drink—coffee. "People do not really appreciate or realize what a powerful drug it is and what terrible effect it has on the human system. If they did, hardly a pound of coffee would be sold. I would never think of going back to coffee again. I would almost as soon think of putting my hand in a fire after I had once been burned. Yours for health." Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum — must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum-is a soluble powder. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. The cost per cup of both kinds is about the same.

LESSON FOR JANUARY 24 GIDEON AND THE THREE HUNDRED. LESSON TEXT—Judges 7:1-8, 16-23. GOLDEN TEXT—Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.—Zech. 4:6, R. V. This was the period of Israel's transition from a nomadic to an agricultural life. The record we have is an alternate succession of idolatry and subjugation with a return to Jehovah and to liberty. I. "Gideon and All the People," vv. 1-8. Rallying about him his clansmen Gideon chose a position at the spring of Harod near Jezreel, his back to Mt. Gilboa and the Midianites to the north next to Mt. Moreh. He thus controlled the fords of the Jordan and could prevent the enemy from returning to their homes in the desert country. Outwardly the great discrepancy of numbers made the situation look dubious for Israel, but in reality the danger was that the army was too large, since when the victory was gained they might "vaunt themselves." Individuals and churches usually count their strength according to numbers. (See II Cor. 12:9.) If we desire God's strength it must be as we ourselves are weak (Isa. 40:29). God is sometimes limited by having too many and not enough of the right sort. When God delivers he leaves no room for boasting (Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:27). God can save as well by the few as by the many (I Samuel 14:6), and frequently uses the weak and despised things to confound the mighty (I Cor. 1:27, 28), that "no flesh should glory in his presence" (I Cor. 1:29). These were two tests whereby Gideon was to select his warriors: (1) "Go to proclaim . . . whoseover is fearful . . . let him return" (v. 3). It is not well to criticize too severely the 22,000 who returned; even in the Garden not only Peter, but all the disciples forsook the Master and fled. God does not choose men because they are heroes, but to make heroes of them by the power of his might. (2) There is yet another sifting. God gives Gideon the clue (v. 4), viz., to decide by their method of drinking. Those who drank "as a dog lappeth," were those not to be taken off guard even while drinking. II. Gideon's Second Assurance, vv. 9-15. It was absurd, humanly speaking, for 300 men to expect to defeat 135,000. God "strengthened" Gideon (v. 11). Gideon and Phurah, at God's command, entered the valley and drew near the Midianite host. Avoiding the guard, if any, they drew near enough to hear a man telling his dream to "his fellow." The latter interprets this as nothing else than the "sword of Gideon" (v. 14). Gideon worshiped God and at once returned to arouse the camp of Israel. III. The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon, vv. 16-23. In all probability these men wore their usual weapons as soldiers and carried food for their use in pursuing the enemy. However, for this midnight attack they needed only three weapons, lamps, pitchers and trumpets. Each of these have a spiritual suggestion for the Christian. (See Matt. 25:4; Ps. 119:105; also II Cor. 4:6, 7, and Ezek. 33:3, 6; I. Cor. 14:8.) Gideon's stratagem of dividing his men into three companies and then as the pitchers are broken to blow the trumpet caused a lively panic among the Midianites. That Gideon had faith and courage in himself, and in the word of Jehovah, is suggested in his words, "Look on me and do likewise." We are to look to the "captain of our salvation" (Heb. 13:2) and by our lives of obedience prove the devotion of our life (John 15:14, 14:21). As already suggested, there were probably no defenses surrounding the enemy and in the darkness Gideon and his men easily approached the camp. It is easy to imagine the scene—the midnight hour, the army suddenly awakened by a deafening shout, the blasts of trumpets, the 300 torches flashing forth amid the crash of earthenware, and all of this intense darkness. The Midianites in the confusion turned their weapons against each other and fled toward the Jordan and into the regions beyond toward the desert. Others followed by the ten thousand, fleeing to ward Succoth and Penuel. We of this day have our wars and battles against the wrongs, the principalities and powers of evil, which are around us and within us. Such battles require the same courage, and skill, and consecration of ourselves, as did the wars of those ancients against the enemies that threatened the very extinct people of God. UGH!

William Carroll, a driver of 389 First avenue, was held in $2,500 bail in the Yorkville court on a charge of pushing Mortimer Thompson, a jeweler of New Brunswick, N. J., off the Twenty-third street subway platform on to the track on December 6. Two cars passed over Thompson, but only bruised him. "I guess I'll die a natural death," Thompson said. "When I was a baby my nurse dropped me out of a window. When I was a boy I fell out of a fourth-story window and a clothes line broke my fall. Four years ago I was shot in the head when I happened accidentally upon some revolver play. A month ago I escaped drowning when an automobile I was in over in New Jersey ran into the river."—New York Sun. "Allies." Should we say "allies" with a stress upon the first syllable or on the second? Of course, the second is in either case long, but what about the stress? To put it on the first syllable is to make one of the few good English spondees we have. On the other hand, this manner of pronouncing will not do for Wordsworth's great sonnet—"Thou hast great allies." It is to be noted that the American custom does not accord with Wordsworth.—London Chronicle. Fancy Fare. "My wife has no luck catching mice." "I wonder why?"

LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE If cross, feverish, constipated, give "California Syrup of Figs" A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," then don't worry, because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough "inside cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

It is timely to recall that Admiral Montage reported about Napoleon's flat-bottomed boats after he had captured one of them. "In short, sir, these vessels to my mind are completely contemptible and ridiculous, and I therefore conclude that the number collected at Boulogne are to keep our attention on the qui vive and to gloss over the real attack meditated from other points." If Napoleon ever seriously contemplated subduing England by means of these craft, the admiral would have agreed with the Parisian wits, who dubbed their emperor "Don Quixote de la Manche."—London Chronicle. THE PROFESSOR'S STATEMENT. Prof. Aug. F. W. Schmitz, Thomas, Okla., writes: "I was troubled with Backache for about twenty-five years.

Representative Carter Glass, congratulated on the currency bill, said: "It has received a good deal of unfriendly criticism, but it is a good bill, a fair bill. If all bills were as fair we would be well off. But all bills aren't as fair. Take the Blue Ridge doctor's bill, for example. "A Blue Ridge man, on receiving his doctor's bill, hurried to the doctor's office and protested: "What does this mean, doc? Besides the stipulated fee you have charged me $100 extra for instruments!" "Yes, I know," said the doctor. 'That's for a very valuable saw that I left in your wife after her operation through inadvertence.'" Long Overdue. Natives of Italy must be very prompt in keeping engagements, especially invitations to dine. At least, we get that impression from an Italian paper, which records the following conversation between two fellow-countrymen: "Signor Shaffeti must be very sick." "Why do you think so?" "Why, I invited him to supper tonight at eight, and it is already five minutes of, and he hasn't come yet!"—Youth's Companion. "Money Back" Medicine.

In June and July my life was despaired of, but recovered sufficiently to be up and around. My bowels seemed paralyzed. Could eat no solid food. "The first of last December I decided to try Peruna. My appetite improved, and very soon solid foods could be taken. In two months time I gained 18 pounds. Now I am heavier than I ever was before. When I began to use Peruna my bowels commenced to move at once." Those who object to liquid medicines can now procure Peruna in Tablet form.

Not on ladies, of course—that were too much to hope—but at any rate on dolls. "God has given you one face," says Hamlet to the doll designers, "and you make yourselves another." The simpering, pudgy sweetness of fat cheeks and fat foreheads and teeth like a picket fence has been thrust upon children year after year as a model of feminine perfection, until one can hardly blame the way young ladies have taken to imitating it. between eighteen and twenty-two. But that is over now. Realism has invaded the nursery. The toy shops are full of real baby dolls. They have a jolly sort of every-day kiddishness about them. Roly-poly and a bit gawky, they look very much like an infant at its most investigating age, and with a subtle insight into the wishy-washy frame of mind behind the baby-doll face, the makers call them "character" babies.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You will get a large bottle for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this old, famous recipe, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Adv. Remarkable Dredges. Bowlders of great size were recently lifted bodily out of the Panama canal by the two massive dredges which were built to cope with the Cucaracha slide in the Culebra cut, says Popular Mechanics. In many instances rocks of tremendous weight were handled by the steel-armed engine almost as if they were pebbles. Recently one of these bowlders, weighing 40 tons, was lifted out of the water and swung to one side free of the channel in one load.

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.

In 1788 John Ward, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Biddons. The oldest son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelaide, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowling. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS What shall be done with the Negro? This question is frequently asked and but seldom given a rational, intelligent, satisfactory answer. Possibly it ought to be changed to read thus: What shall the Negro do with himself? Not a few Negroes are answering the question in this form and in very satisfactory fashion, too. Instance the Negroes who have been building up the town of Boley, Okla., and its surrounding section. There is an illustration of the successful and suggestive working out of the self-segregation idea. It has been described and commented on by the Southern Workman: "Boley, Okla., is the largest Negro city in the United States. It is surrounded by some of the richest land in the world and has in its neighborhood most valuable mines of coal and wells of oil. Recently it was the scene of joyous activity when Dr. Booker T. Washington and some 400 delegates to the National Negro Business league came to its citizens from Muskogee, through Okmulgee, Boynton and Clearview, where Negroes are succeeding in farming, in cattle raising, in mining, in the oil and gas fields and in storekeeping. "Boley was founded in 1904 by Thomas M. Hayes of Texas in the rolling prairie land on the Fort Smith & Western railroad between Deep Fork and North Canadian rivers, and is in the heart of a vast region capable of producing such diversified crops as corn, wheat, cotton, potatoes, alfalfa, apples, peaches, grapes, berries and the common garden vegetables. "This Negro town is 'making good.' Today it has over eighty business concerns, an electric lighting plant, efficient waterworks, two banks, several attractive churches, a high school worth over $15,000, a normal and industrial school supported by the C. M. E. church, flourishing fraternal orders, a Masonic temple of the Oklahoma jurisdiction worth $35,000, a telephone system, several cotton gins, a chamber of commerce, a city hall, a Negro station agent and a Negro newspaper. From 15,000 to 20,000 people live in the region surrounding Boley—3,000 are in the township of Boley and 1,300 are in the city of Boley. Here, then, is the beginning—really an excellent beginning—of a demonstration in Negro city building which will be watched closely by those who are interested in the Negro as a factor in business. "The people of Boley, all of whom are Negroes, have shown rare pluck in going into a new country and doing together what most people said Negroes never could do—exercise initiative and judgment in building up business enterprises apart from white men. They have won their present success by making their lot one with the man on the farm. "Boley is in many ways a substantial evidence of the ambition, thrift and capacity of the Negro who takes life more seriously than the average man of the race and is not interfered with by unwise friends or out-and-out enemies. Boley reflects credit on Mr. Haynes and his coworkers. It gives promise of great things. It ought to be better known by young, doubting Negroes, especially city Negroes, who are dissatisfied with their lot and are ignorant of what the South and the Southwest offer in golden opportunities for the sober, hard-work The Negro Year Book, 1914-1915, has just been issued from the Tuskegee institute, Alabama, Monroe N. Work, editor, and is a more thorough compendium of vital information than ever before, not only to persons of the race, but all students of the life and growth of that race, and all who wish to be informed in regard to a people which has had amazing growth in numbers and in all material and intellectual development since their emancipation from slavery hardly more than half a century ago, the present issue of 448 pages is about 70 pages larger than the last previous issue. Another interesting publication is "The Crisis, a Record of the Darker Races," published weekly at 70 Fifth avenue, New York city. In both publications the question of race segregation is discussed at some length. The warden of a Georgia prison has been puzzled by an order to give one of his prisoners a ten days' allowance on his sentence. As the sentence is for life the order is difficult to carry out ing, cheerful man, regardless of color. "What the future of Boley will be depends not only on the men and women who have planted a thriving city in a rough country, but also upon the Negroes who are trained (and will be trained within the next few years) for leadership in education, business and public health, as well as in religion and law. "Dr. Washington's visit to Boley, his words of encouragement and advice, together with his vital relation to problems of race adjustment, give the demonstration in 'big business' for the Negro more than passing significance." I am sure that it will prove both interesting and educative to many of your readers to have laid before them certain statistics of church work among the colored race, and gleaned from the recently issued Living Church Annual and Churchman's Almanac for 1915, writes George F. Bragg, Jr., in a communication to the Living Church. Organized congregations to the number of 233, within 53 dioceses and missionary districts, report 23,706 colored communicants. They are distributed as follows: The province of New England: In two dioceses and five congregations, there are 1,413 communicants. The province of New York and New Jersey: In six dioceses 19 congregations, 4,439 communicants. The province of Washington: In nine dioceses, 63 congregations, 6,432 communicants. The province of Mid-West: In eight dioceses, 15 congregations, 2,318 communicants. The province of Southwest: In eight dioceses, 18 congregations, 1,189 communicants. The province of California: In two dioceses, two congregations, 222 communicants. The combined colored communicant lists in the entire states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas amount to just 266 more communicants than are reported by the single colored parish of St. Philip's church, New York. It would certainly seem that the church needs the "Racial Episcopate," or something else, which promises better results than the machinery we have tried for a whole half century. Here is the real thing which tests Here is the real thing which tests the catholicity of the church. Steps taken to improve facilities for the education of the Negro are summarized in an installment just made public of the forthcoming report of the general educational board. Assistance is shown to have been given what the board alludes to as some of the more efficient of the industrial training schools as follows: Hampton institute, $138,000; Tuskegee, $196,912; other institutions, $85,384, making a total of approximately $558,780. To provide for higher education of Negroes, contributions have been made to colleges and universities as follows: Atlanta Baptist college, $5,000; Atlanta university, $8,000; Fisk university, $70,000; Lane college, $7,000; Leland university, $2,000; Livingstone college, $12,500; Mines Memorial college $5,000; Paine college, $5,000; Shaw university, $18,000; and Virginia Union university, $11,500, total. $144,000. That the men of the Negro race are strongly averse to taking their own lives as a way out of this world of woe is proved most conclusively by the suicide and attempted suicide records of Houston for the past five months. Bichloride of mercury tablets have no fascination for him and all other forms of poison are classed in the "don't touch" list. On the other hand, the women of the Negro race are not so prone to take solace in the carbolic acid bottle as are the women of the white race, and in following the statistics still further it is shown by the records that there are fewer attempts at suicide by women of the white race than by men. —Houston (Tex.)

C.—Mrs. Thomas Davis, of this place, says: "About two years ago, when I was eighteen years old, I was in a bad condition from womanly troubles. I fell off until I weighed not more than 85 lbs. I suffered dreadful pains in my hips, sides and abdomen, for about 5 days out of every month. I couldn't sleep at night, and the pains were so dreadful I couldn't lie down for the blood would seem to rush to my head. I felt I must have some relief, for it seemed that the awful suffering would surely kill me. I had read of what Cardul had done for others, and thought I would try it. After the use of one bottle, the pains had entirely stopped and I was able to sleep. After using four bottles, I was a well woman, I was regular, I got back my flesh, and I now weigh 126 lbs.; and am able to do all my work without any trouble. I certainly recommend Cardul to suffering women, for I know it cured me. My friends who saw me when I weighed 85 pounds and would see me now, would know what Cardul had done for me." Try Cardul.-Adv. Proved Employer's Contention. Proved Employer's Contention. A young fellow, the son of a wealthy man, was engaged in some clerical capacity by a friend of his father in order to try to make something of him. He was, however, shiftless to the last degree and nothing he said could be relied upon. One day his employer called him into his private office and gave him a sound lecture. He dwelt chiefly on his prevarication and wound up by saying: "You know, James, that you are always lying" "Sir," said James, "I would have you remember that I am a gentleman!" "There you go again," said his employer. His Whereabouts. A minister who recently called upon a young widow to condole with her on the loss of her husband placed considerable emphasis upon the fact that the separation was only of a temporary character, and painted in vivid colors the happiness of friends reunited after death. When he stopped for breath the sorrowing one heaved a deep sigh, and quietly remarked: "Well, I suppose his first wife has got him again, then." BIG EATERS HAVE BAD KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your Back is Hurting or Kidneys and Bladder Trouble You. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; 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 grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.—Adv.

Towns with thousands of inhabitants have been overthrown and from some of these come details which show an immense loss of life. The estimates vary from 25,000 to 50,000 dead and injured, and yet there are several sections, which undoubtedly felt the earthquake in full measure, from which no estimates can be obtained. In the ancient territory of Marsi, which includes Avezzano, the victims are placed at 20,000. Only a small minority is left of the inhabitants of Avezzano, who numbered approximately ten thousand. Fifteen other towns and villages in that section have been laid waste. King Victor Emmanuel is on the scene at Avezzano and 30,000 soldiers have been dispatched to various centers where the force of the disturbance was greatest. Italy as a nation has risen again to give succor as she did at the time of the Messina earthquake six years ago, to those who have fallen in this latest catastrophe from which the country has suffered. Demolished or partly demolished towns did that part of Italy from Naples northward to Ferrara and crosswise the peninsula from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic sea. Thousands of dead lie beneath the mounds of debris which once were dwellings, churches and public institutions which crumbled under the earth's vibrations. Not even an estimate of the aggregate fatalities is yet obtainable, as numerous places are still isolated owing to the severance of telegraphic, telephonic and railroad communication. It is known, however, that Avezzano is a necropolis and that also in Sora, some twenty-five miles to the southeast, a large number of lives were lost. In Avezzano and vicinity it is estimated that 15,000 perished and that the dead in Sora, will total 1,000. So far as is known about twenty towns have been absolutely leveled while an almost equal number suffered serious damage. In all these places persons were killed or injured. In the Lateran palace, especially that part occupied by the museum, the earthquake caused cracks of sufficient size to permit outside light to penetrate the building. The hall of the chamber of deputies likewise was cracked. Oldest Teutonic Church Damaged. Among other edifices damaged were the churches of St. Andria Fratte and St. Agatha of the Goths, the latter being the oldest church of Teutonic origin in Rome. It is announced officially that the center of the earthquake was between Campobasso and Sarno and that it was felt strongly at Perugia and slightly as far north as Ferrara. The town of Profs is reported to have been half destroyed. At Giuliano two persons were killed. At the meteorological institute it is said that buildings contained to rock or tremble for about thirty seconds after he shock had ceased and that the duration of the phenomenon altogether was about one minute. It was stated it was not believed the disturbance extended to Sicily. The shock was the strongest Rome has felt in more than a hundred years. The town of Avezzano, in the Abruzzi department, sixty-three miles east of Rome, has been leveled to the ground; here 8,000 persons are reported to have been killed. In many small towns surrounding Rome buildings were partially wrecked, while at Naples a panic occurred, and houses fell at Caserta, a short distance to the east. From below Naples in the south to Ferrere in the north, a distance of more than 300 miles, and across almost the width of the country the undulatory movement began at 7:55 o'clock in the morning and lasted from 22 to 30 seconds. In the capital itself so far as known there was no loss of life, but a great deal of damage was done, churches and statues suffering most. Most of the people were stricken with fear and there was a veritable panic in the hospitals, monasteries and convents. The buildings on both sides of the Porta del Poppolo, the north entrance to Rome, threatened to fall and the eagle decorating the gate crashed to the ground. The obelisk in St. Peter's square was shaken and badly damaged, while the statue of St. John Lateran and the statues of the Apostles surmounting the Basilica are in danger of collapsing. The famous colonnade decorating St. Peter's square was lowered four feet while the adjacent house, once occupied by the Sisters of Pope Pius X., was badly wrecked. Owing to the wide extent of the disturbance and the terrible consequence, the actual effects of the earthquake are not at present known, owing to the cutting off or communications. The fortified city of Aquila has in this way been cut off, but it is reported several villages in that region were destroyed. Likewise, Potenza, capital of the province of the same name, on the eastern decivility of the Pennnines, which has a population of nearly 20,000, has been isolated. In 1857 this town was almost destroyed by an earthquake. There was confusion throughout the whole of Rome during the undulations. In some cases it amounted to terror and bordered on panic. The telephone was resorted to by great numbers of people at virtually the same time in endeavors to ascertain the safety of relatives and friends, and then to learn the extent of the damage to the city. Several street car lines suspended operations because of the damages caused by the earthquake. The last serious earthquake in the Rome district occurred July 19, 1899. Rome, Frascati, Marino and other towns on the Alban hills felt the shock and many buildings were damaged, but there was no loss of life. Farther south in Italy and in Sicily, however, earthquakes are frequent and very severe. Great loss of life and heavy damage to property have occurred in these regions. Avezzano, the town from which the greater number of casualties has been reported as the result of the earthquake, lies in the province of Aguila, in the Abruzzi department, sixty-three miles east of Rome, and a short distance from the base of Mount Vello. It is an ancient town and had a population of some 10,000. One of the well preserved buildings there was the towered castle built by Gentile Virgino Orsino in 1490. Most of the towns in which damage has been done are situated virtually in the heart of Italy. The country in the province of Rome and the department of the Abruzzi is mostly mountainous, but thickly populated. Numerous villages and towns dot the territory. TULSA. OKLA..

In one legislature after another the bills to provide a statue of Franklin Pierce have been introduced and defeated. It is the irony of fate that the very things which made him president and so eligible as the subject of a statue prevented his native state from thus honoring him. He became president by favor of the South and his gratitude impelled him to a course of action on the eve of war which made him an exile from his own home thenceforth. —Chicago Daily News. He Knew! The teacher was giving the geography class a lesson on the cattle ranches. She spoke of their beef all coming from the West, and wishing to test the children's observation, she asked: "And what else comes to us from these ranches?" That was a poser. She looked at her shoes, but no one 'took the hint. She tried again: "What do we get from the cattle besides beef?" One boy eagerly raised his hand. "I know what it is. It's tripe!" he announced.-Youth's Companion. THIGK, GLOSSY HAIR FREE FROM DANDRUFF Girls! Beautify Your Hair! Make It Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant—Try the Moist Cloth. Try as you will, after an application of Danderine, you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after a few weeks' use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but really new hair—growing all over the scalp. A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is immediate and amazing—your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable luster, softness and luxuriance, the beauty and shimmer of true hair health. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any store and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any—that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment—that's all. Adv. The Difference. "My husband says he's going to have a corking good time at his club tonight." "I'm afraid mine is going to have an uncorking time at his." Good Defense. "This man has been arrested for uttering forged notes." "Couldn't do it; he's dumb." This year in Napa county, California, 5,000,000 silkworms will be raised on one mulberry tree plantation. Cultivate patience. You will need it when a selfmade man begins to tell you the story of his life. It is useless for some women to leny that they married for money—after you have met their husbands.

JULIA TOUCHETT and MRS. DELLA WHITE Pro NOTICE To my Friends and the Public: On January 1st I assume the combined duties of the County Clerk and Register of Deeds which will double my responsibilities without any increased compensation. Hence from that day and that time on, while I am in the County Clerk's office I will require the proper fee to accompany each and every instrument to be filed or recorded in my combined office. To insure your instrument immediate filing and you do not know the exact fee fill out your check and sign same, leaving the amount blank, stamp or write across the face of the check, "not over two, five or ten dollars" as the case may be, so as to cover the amount of what you think the filing fee should be. When the instrument arrives I will fill in the proper amount and file the instrument at once. Otherwise the instrument will be mailed back to you and a statement showing the proper fee which will delay the filing, from twenty-four to forty-eight hours. I want each and every one to take this letter in the spirit it is sent, as my duties will be too great to carry any book accounts. Sincerely your servant, LEWIS CLINE, County Clerk and Register of Deeds. "My Wife Took the Grippe, With Pains in Back and head. She ached all over. It began in the morning, by noon she was in bed and began taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills as recommended in a day or two she was well and we are sure that if she had taken Dr. Miles' Nervine at the very first symptoms she would have prevented the attack."
