The bill had passed the house and sent to the senate and was passed there Monday evening but because of certain objectionable features was reconsidered in the senate Tuesday and killed. In a recent decision of the U S Supreme Court the separate coach law as practiced in Oklahoma was declared unconstitutional and it was the hope of the supporters of the proposed amendment to overcome the ruling of the court of last resort that the amendment was introduced Every railroad in Oklahoma, under the ruling of the U S Supreme Court, must provide a separate apartment in dining cars, Pullman and chair cars for colored passengers, and these apartments must be equal in comfort and convenience. At present none of the roads in this state provide these comforts Dearman Gets Good Results The following letter from the General Passenger Agent of the Katy and Frisco railroad to C. Dearman of this city shows what results may be obtained from the railroad companies by complaining of existing evils. St. Louis, Mo., March 19, 1915 Mr. C Dearman, 503 East Brady Street Tulsa, Oklahoma Dear Sir:— During our conference you will recall that mention was made of unsatisfactory conditions existing in our lunch room at Osage. On my return to Saint Louis, I took this matter up with our Superintendent of Dining Service and he now advises me that he has moved the partition in the lunch counter dividing the colored and whites so as to permit additional stools and that he has arranged to have the colored portion set with mapkins, silverware, ice water, bread and butter, the same as the balance of the counter. You, of course, understand that it is impossible for us to have information in regard to conditions existing all over the road, but we are always glad to have objectionable features brought to our attention in order that we can correct them. Yours truly, W S St George General Passenger and Ticket Aent, M K & T Ry. Warns Against Mob Violence Inspector of Police Tells Officers of the "Taste of Blood." NEW YOUR, March 24—Max F. Schmittberger, chief inspector of police advised police inspectors in an address yesterday never to allow a mob to get started "Men in mobs," he said, "gain courage only when they find those whose duty it is to suppress them ar cowards too. It is only when its appetite is whetted by the taste of blood, or its greed for pillage is gratified that a mob becomes dangerous" CARD OF THANKS I desire to express my sincere thanks to the members of my church and friends who manifested such kind interest in me during the recent illness and death of my beloved wife What ever else may happen I shall never forget your kindness J F KERSH.

Ewing Makes Good Record Republican Representative From Lo gan County Makes Good Record Joseph L. Member House of Representatives who introduced measures of special benefit to the C lored people of Oklahoma Probably the best record of any member of the fifth Oklahoma legislature was made by a republican representative, Amos A Ewing of Guthrie, who bears the distinction of having passed every bill he introduced. It was he who introduced and succeeded in getting passed in both houses house bill 407 establishing a State Training School for Delinquent Negro boys This bill as first passed located this institution on the grounds of the Langston university, but because of the persistent fight made by the Tulsa Star against this location it was changed to McAlister and the appropriation raised from $10,000 to $15,000 He was supported loyally in this measure by representatives Tom Hunter, of Hugo and Wash Hudson of this city In fact it must be said that the majority of the democratic members supported the bill, otherwise it could not have passed The same is true of the other bills introduced and passed by Mr Ewing. Among the more important Ewing Among the more important Ewing bills that were passed by the house of representatives at this session were the following: Divorcing cottonseed oil mills and cotton gins Appropriation for maintenance of Langston A & N University Appropriation of $20,000 for complete waterworks system at Langston university Appropriation of $10,000 for establishment of a state school for incorrigible Negro boys Exempting all lands and machinery exclusively used in the manufacture of cotton from taxation Empowering the corporation commission to regulate the electric light and gas companies and other public service utilities and providing for a reparation House bill no 476, relating to abstracts Mr Ewing is 53 years old and has been a resident of Oklahoma since April 22, 1889. He has always desired to see all men get a square deal and therefore has been a lifelong friend to the colored people in Guthrie, his home town, he is nigly, respected by all who know him. He will doubtless be returned to the sixth legislature because the people of Logan county know he is the man for the place May Lose Grand Lodge Meeting May Lose Grand Lodge Meeting Tulsa's Failure to Have Uniform Rank May Cost Grand Lodge Meeting Muskogee May Get the Plum According to information received here Thursday K of P Grand Lodge which is scheduled to meet here this year may slip through the fingers of the sagacious Tulsans and land in Muskogee It is said that Grand Chan color Harrison of Oklahoma City and Brigadier-General Wiggins of Wagoner are threatening to take the meeting away from Tulsa because this city has no uniform ranks Arrangements for entertaining the Grand Lodge has already been under way and considerable money has been subscribed for that purpose Every effort possible will be made to hold the meeting for Tulsa if this report is finally confirmed NOTICE TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS Owing to the rapid increase of our subscription list and the expense of notices by correspondence, subscribers to The Tulsa Star will please take note that hereafter the paper will be discontinued without notice on date of expiration unless subscription is renewed or satisfactory arrangements made by the subscriber NEW BUSINESS FOR EAST END Popular Young Woman of Pine Bluff Will Open Beauty Parlor in Tulsa; Was Here Last Week but Returned To Her Home Where she will Remain a Few Weeks Representing The Tulsa Star Miss Loule B Coleman, a popular young woman of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, will open a Beauty Parlor in this city in the near future Miss Coleman was in the city last week and secured a location in the business section of North Greenwood, after which she returned to her home where she will remain a few weeks and while there will be an active agent for the Star While here Miss Coleman was the guest of honor at a reception given at the residence of Mrs Eva Kernal os North Elgin Co-operation in Russia. Even today millions of the Russian peasants are not only too poor to employ any but the simplest instruments of agriculture, but the smallness of their acres makes the machinery we are accustomed to out of the question. On the other hand, there are large estates with the finest modern machinery, while the peasant proprietor is gradually overcoming the difficulty by co-operative buying. Six million households were associated with co-operative associations in 1911, and 310 out of the 370 zemstvos were last year engaged in the sale of agricultural machinery. Long years of experience in the semicommunal dealings of the "mlr" have trained the Russian peasants in the qualities necessary for co-operative enterprise. Girls Ready to Ride Zebras. The National Woman Suffrage association headquarters is full of troubles these days. The laftest is an influx of actresses, stenographers, journalists and other professionals, who want to "go to California." They have offered to walk the tight rope, ride zebras, "hike," or roll all the way across the continent if they are permitted to wear the badge and use the name of the association. One vaudeville actress offered to walk all the way to San Francisco if her manager would precede her in a motor car and distribute suffrage pamphlets and literature. "If only Rosalie Jones had not gone in for economic independence," walled an official. "There's no use getting up a suffrage hike now that Rosalie has got a job."—New York Sun. Subscription $1.00 Per Year Senate! STATEMENT Last week, just as we were about to go to press, the principal of one of our schools came into the office with a resolution of condolence bearing the names of all the teachers of his school which he wanted published. The editor counted the lines and found that the actual cost for lynotype of said resolution amounted to exactly 64c for which amount he agreed to publish same. The principal objected, saying the teachers would not pay anything because they all subscribed for the Star and thought, for that reason, we ought to publish the resolution gratis. We tried to explain to the principal that this was not news but chargable matte, but did not succeed in convincing him that the Star could not afford to publish everything the teachers or anyone else wanted us to publish simply because they were subscribers to the paper. The principal went away saying he could get the daily papers to publish the resolution without charge. The rates of the daily papers, however, is 10 cents a line for that kind of matter and they do not accept it for anything less. We have since been informed that the teachers of that school felt that they had been mistreated by the Star. If this is true we regret it very much, but for the life of us we can not perseude ourselves to believe that any of our teachers are so narrow. We are trying to make our living by publishing a newspaper; we are giving employment to five people, besides we are paying high rent in two places. Surely no fair minded man or woman would want us to do more than we are doing for the common good of the community. We ask only a square deal and a chance for a livelihood. Every penny we make goes back to the people of this community in one form or another. Who can do more? The cost for operating our business is enormous; the cost for operating the teachers' business in nothing We ask, therefore, that the teachers and every one else before criticising us consider these things HARRIS JURY FAIS REACH VERDICT Defendant Must Face Second Trial for Killing White Man in Drug Store Irance Harris who was tried in the district court here last week for the killing of Joe Johnson, a white man, in the Diamond Drug store on second street a few months ago must face a second jury to answer to the charge of murder, the jury in the case having been unable to reach a verdict last week. The case will pow go over to the next term of court Southern White Man Sends Recommendation Mrs George W Hunt, sister to Harris, received the following letter of recommendation from a white man in Louisiana last week: Franklin, La., 3, 8, 1915. To whom it may concern: I have known this boy Irance Harris since he was a baby, he always was a good worker, quiet and sober and can say he never was in any kind of trouble that I knew of.

GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. Asparagus (canned). If carefully steamed and served with a rich white sauce on buttered toast, is a most appetizing dish. The asparagus may be served in a ring of red or green pepper, or one of orange and lemon, to make the dish more attructive in appearance. Peas With Mint—Re- move peas from the can, drain and pour over two Asparagus (canned), if carefully served with a rich white sauce on buttered toast, is a most appetizing dish. The asparagus may be served in a ring of red or green pepper, or one of orange and lemon, to make the dish more attractive in appearance. Peas With Mint. Remove peas from the can. quarts of cold water. Put them in a saucepan, add a teaspoonful of sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt, let boil two minutes. Drain and add to the following sauce: Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually a cupful of milk; when bolling add a teaspoonful of finely chopped mint, a dash of salt and pepper. Serve in small cases made of bread. Rice With Cheese Sauce.—Put boiled rice in layers into a buttered baking dish. Cover each layer with the following sauce: Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three of flour and, when well mixed, one and a half cupfuls of rich milk. When smooth, add a half cupful of good flavored cheese which has been grated, a few dashes of pepper and salt to season. Moistened Sponge Cake—When a sponge cake is a little dry steam it and serve it with the following sauce: Cream a half cupful of butter with one cupful of brown sugar, add four tablespoonfuls of cream, a little at a time to prevent separation, then add two tablespoonfuls of chopped pecan meats, two tablespoonfuls of dates and a half teaspoonful of lemon extract. Prune Ice Cream.—Let a cupful of prunes soak in water to cover over night. Cook in the same water until tender, remove the stones and put the pulp through a strainer. Add a cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and one and a quarter cupfuls of heavy cream, whipped. Freeze and serve garnished with nut meats.

This is the time of year when fish and eggs are often served, as many are conforming to the rules of Lent. Fish is a good substitute for meat, and is not in most places an expensive food. Baked Mackerel.—Take a two or three-pound fish, fresh, if obtainable. If not, freshen the salt fish are conforming to the rules of Lent. Fish is a good substitute for meat, and is not in most places an expensive food. Baked Mackerel.—Take a two or three-pound fish, fresh, if obtainable. If not, freshen the salt fish by soaking skin side up in a pan of water; often long soaking may be necessary. Place in a baking pan, add a small amount of water and put into the oven to cook. After the water has evaporated add rich milk or thin cream and bake until the cream is nearly absorbed, leaving enough for a sauce to serve with the fish. Calves Brains and Eggs—Brains are a most dainty dish to serve, if carefully cooked. Put a tablespoonful of butter in a sauce pan, put in the brains and cook until thoroughly done, add four beaten eggs, seasonings, stir until the eggs are cooked and serve as one does scrambled eggs. In this way a few eggs will serve several people. The following is a dainty dessert to serve if eggs are plentiful: Walnut Souffle.—Beat six egg yolks, add a cupful of sugar and one cupful of finely chopped walnut meats. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff and fold into the mixture. Put into a well buttered baking dish and bake until the mixture is firm. Set the dish in hot water while baking. Serve with cream. Veal Steak.—Cut inch squares of veal, dip in seasoned flour and brown in a little hot water. Remove the veal and add more flour and fat; when smooth add a cupful of water and a tablespoonful of tomato, strained. Put in the steak, cover and set back to cook slowly for half an hour. Cheese should be served in some form almost daily as it is a concentrated, wholesome and nutritious food. A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of SAVORY, SATISFYING DISHES. Creamed Finnan Haddie With Rice.—Cook a tablespoonful of chopped onion, one tablespoonful each of red and green pepper, with a quarter of a cupful of butter, five minutes. Add four tablespoonfuls of flour, mixed with a teaspoonful of A COLLECTION OF GOOD RECIPES As there are hundreds of ways of preparing potatoes and we get very tired of the few ways to which most cooks confine themselves a new combination will be welcomed. Baked Eggs in Potatoes.—Cook enough potatoes to make two cupfuls when forced through a ricer. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-third of a cupful of rich milk, and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Beat vigorously two minutes and add one and a half tablespoonfuls of canned plimento put through a fine sieve. Beat until well blended. Pile in a buttered, shallow dish and make as many cavities as one has eggs to serve. Drop an egg in each cavity and bake in a moderate oven until the eggs are set. Sprinkle with salt and bits of butter before serving. Apple Dumplings.—When a good flavored, firm apple is used the following method of making dumplings is most satisfactory: Make a rich baking powder biscuit dough, roll it out to half an inch thick, cut in squares large enough to wrap an apple well. Core and peel the apple and put in center of the square of dough, pinch the corners and place the apples in a steamer to steam or they may be baked in the oven. Sprinkle with grated cheese and serve with sugar and cream. Delicious little tarts may be made from left-over strips of pastry. Place chopped raisins and nuts on small squares, sprinkle with cold water and lemon juice, pinch the corners together and place them in a hot oven to bake. Denver Cream.—Scald one and a fourth cupfuls of milk. Beat two egg yolks slightly and add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a dash of salt. Add the milk mixture gradually to the egg mixture and stir constantly until thick, then add one and a fourth tablespoonfuls of gelatin, soaked in a fourth of a cupful of cold water ten minutes. Strain and add the beaten whites of the eggs. Set the pan containing the mixture in a pan of ice water, stirring until it begins to thicken, then add a pint of whipped cream. Three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and vanilla to flavor. ```markdown ``` DIES OF FA SAVING THAT COUNTS LITTLE ECONOMY HINTS WORTH HEEDING. Dress Aprons Always Useful Addition to the Housewife's Wardrobe—Treatment of Shoes That Are Spotted by Water. Dress aprons are useful additions to the wardrobe of the woman who does her own housework, remarks the New York Times. These are seen at their best when colored linens are used. The tans, green, blue, old red and brown look well with a narrow band of contrasting color or tiny piping of plain white linen bordering neck and armholes. The same careful woman protects her hair from dust while busy, about the home by wearing a dainty cap made of white mull and lace over a wire frame. This frame is turban shape, and is economical inasmuch as the wire frame protects the colfure from disarrangement. For the housewife who thinks in advance this is the time to purchase really excellent half silk hose at the surprisingly low figure of 35 cents a pair. These were shown at one of the large downtown stores in black, tan and many of the newer shades. An inventive young woman recently purchased a dozen pairs of these hose —which were plain. She then embroidered on them small delicate designs of polka dots, tiny rosebuds, and even a pattern of tiny clover blossoms done in French knots with silk of the same shade as the stockings. If gloves or shoes of any color but black have become spotted by water and are allowed to dry there is no hope for them. They are irreparably ruined. But ff, while they are still damp, they are kept on hands or feet and rubbed with a damp cloth, the spots will disappear. Then brush briskly with a dry soft woolen cloth. A young business woman manages a dainty conception in collars and cuffs over her blue serge office frock by a novel use of narrow hemstitched or embroidered edge handkerchiefs. Two handkerchiefs made a set. One is folded cornerwise and cut in half. These pieces, with the cut edge hemmed, are the cuffs. The second handkerchief is also cut in half and one half hollowed out to fit the neck. The remaining half is again cut in two parts and folded over the bodice in the form of revers. These sets are inexpensive and give an attractive touch to the office dress. DESIGNED TO HOLD NEEDLES Practical and Handy Little Book That Can Be Made in Materials of Many Colors. Here is a practical and handy little needle book that is simple to make and of a very convenient size. It is carried out in cream-colored satin or art linen and lined with soft white silk, and measures when closed, 5 by $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. It is cut out in one piece measuring $5\frac{1}{4}$ inches by 10 inches, lined, and that portion which forms the pocket, folded over and sewn down at the 5 INCHES NEEDLES 3 1/2 INCHES sides, and it is also seamed across the center at the point where it folds together. It is fitted with a number of leaves of flannel cut into tiny points at the edges. Across the front of the case the word "Needles" is worked in bold letters with colored silk and ribbon strings of a color to match are provided to secure the book when closed. The upper sketch shows the case open and clearly illustrates the way in which the interior is arranged, and a packet of needles is seen placed partly in the pocket. The lower sketch shows the case closed and secured with the ribbon.

DISTINCTIVE VALUE OF BLACK Makes Most Effective Foil Ever Devised for the More Brilliant Colors. The decorative value of black as a foil for brilliant colors, which finds its peculiarly modern expression in wide hems and bands, was no doubt suggested to the couturieries by the magnificent imperial coats of the Chinese, to which special attention was attracted after the looting of Pekin in 1900. On many of these brilliant garments the gorgeous colors and the gold designs are, as it were, framed by broad bands of black, and there is no doubt that the shining dragons and radiant blossoms gain a hundredfold by contrast with this sable setting. It is striking to notice how one slight but very definite note of color introduced on a black or dark blue toilet can give it just all the distinction in the world. It may be supplied by the long ostrich feather of flaming red or Florentine green which adorns a hat, or a splash of vivid orange against a background of dark blue or perhaps simply a large pink malmaison tucked into a waist belt. IDEA FOR CHILDREN'S PARTY May Be Help to Worried Mothers at a Loss to Know How to Entertain Guests. A charming children's party given last year at a little town on Lake Champlain displayed souvenirs that the hostess had herself made. This little lady, who was scarcely twelve years old, was gifted with her pencil and had made on various occasions a profile drawing of each little friend. These on the important day were shown cut out in black paper and mounted on white cardboard after the manner of silhouettes. The delight of the little guests can be imagined, for everybody wants a picture of herself! It is always gracious, when it can be afforded, to give some little trifles at a child's party, for small hearts always expect gifts. But as the true spirit of giving is self-denial, the little mistress of the day should contribute some of her pocket money toward them, or else be shown that the work of her own hands provides a far more elegant gift than anything which can be bought. gled, and placed the case ribbon New and quaint are the German silver mesh bags with their little round tops that clasp and gathered meshes which suggest the bags our grand-mothers carried.

Although less than a third of the system's mileage is in Oklahoma, more than 60 per cent of the Frisco Railway Company's total 1913 taxes were paid in this state, according to testimony given at the two-cent rate bearing before Federal Judge Frank A.

Hamilton was on the witness stand nearly all day, and detailed from twenty-six exhibits figures showing the workings of the Frisco in this state for the last five years. The total state, municipal and county taxes occurring on property of the Frisco in this state in 1913 amounted to $832,750, the witness said. Of the whole 17.75 per cent was apportioned to state freight, 18.79 per cent to state passenger, 41.81 per cent to interstate freight, 14.76 per cent to interstate passenger and 6.89 per cent to mail and express. The witness did not testify to the exact amount of the total taxation borne by the company, merely declaring that "above 60 per cent of the entire system's taxes accrued in this state, notwithstanding less than one-third of the total mileage is within the boundaries of Oklahoma." Higher Rate In Oklahoma. "It is a fact, is it not, that the rate of taxation is considerably higher in Oklahoma than in other states in which the St. Louis & San Francisco operates?" inquired Attorney R. A. Kleinschmidt, who was examining the witness. "As an illustration, I'll say that the tax per mile in Oklahoma in 1913 was $595, while in Missouri it was $234." Hamilton replied. The twenty-six exhibits offered by the Frisco brought out that the road's gross passenger revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, with the two-cent rate in effect, showed a slight increase over the record of the last preceding year when passenger traffic was conducted on a three-cent basis. But, Supervisor Hamilton testified the cost of operation was so materially increased that the net state passenger earnings decreased at the same time from 4.64 per cent to 1.47 per cent and the state freight earnings during the same period, likewise be came smaller. Frisco's Test Year. In the Frisco's test year, ending June 30, 1914, the state passenger revenues aggregated $1,943,640.47, the state freight traffic brought $1,886,600.72 and other operating revenues made a total of $3,923,734.65, it was shown by exhibit No. 22 which contained a summary of all state revenues and expenses. Total expenses and taxes amounted to $3,073,738.84, leaving a balance applicable to return on property of $849,995.81. Of the total balance on state revenues $537,009.23 was apportioned to passenger and $312,986.58 to freight business. Mr. Hamilton testified that it costs 11 per cent more to transport a state passenger one mile than an interstate passenger, and 95 per cent more to ship a ton of state freight one mile than a ton of interstate freight. VILLA MUST OMIT FOREIGNERS When He Starts To Collect a Million Pesos at Monterey. Washington.—A protest was sent by the United States to General Villa against the collection from Americans or other foreigners of part of a special tax of a million pesos levied at Monterey. The British-owned light and power company there has been called upon to pay $35,000 as its share of the new tax. Just how the general assessment was to be apportioned the state department was not informed but the understanding was that General Villa had laid an omnibus tax on the city, leaving it to the city authorities there to raise the money in whatever way they saw fit. The order was dated March 16, it was said, and fifteen days was the time given in which to raise the money. The department has protested previously, notably in the case of the tax which General Obregon tried to collect in Mexico City recently against any residents. Madjeu and Cook Convicted. New York.—Richard Madden and Gustave Cook of Hoboken, N. J., were found guilty of conspiracy against the United States in aiding Richard P. Stegler, a German naval reservist to procure a false American passport. The pair will be sentenced and immediately afterwards, Stegler, who became state witnesses, and testified against the two men, will be called for trial. His counsel announced that Stegler would plead guilty and throw himself upon the mercy of the court. ITALY IS ABOUT TO ENTER WAR ISTHMIAN NATION EXPECTED SOON TO JOIN ALLIES. Territorial Demands Are Refused —Greece Also Preparing Again To Participate in the Conflict. London.—The relations between Italy and Austria are believed to alve reached an acute stage. A Rome dispatch says Austrian and German sub- jects have been advised by their consuls to leave Italy in the shortest possible time and that a number of Germans who recently arrived in Italy are being watched because of a suspicion that they are military spies. There have been reports for some days that Germany's efforts to secure the continued neutrality of Italy by inducing Austria to cede Trent and other territory to her were not meeting with success. Italy, it was said, was demanding that the territory be handed over to her immediately but that the Teutonic allies desired to make the transfer after the war. Following this came reports that Austria had commenced strengthening her southern frontier and according to a dispatch received in Paris from Rome, Italian officers of all arms belonging to the first line who have been on half pay have been called to the colors. In military circles here this order is considered significant, it being contended that these officers belong to the public administration, from which they would not be called unless the situation was serious. No Austrian naws on the subject is available in London, but the censor in that country, it is said, has prohibited comments. There also are reports that Greece is preparing to adopt a more active attitude. Fellowing a series of prolonged cabinet meetings at Athens, the Greek minister of marine is quoted as having said that the Greek government had received all guarantees and to have indicated that the country was about to engage in some enterprise. As the chief objection to former Premier Venizelo's policy of helping the allies against Turkey was declared to have been that Greece was not guaranteed that she would receive adequate compensation, this statement of the minister of marine is considered in high circles in London as an intimation that the new Greek government now is satisfied with the allies' guarantees. The allied fleet is preparing for a renewal of the attack on the Dardanelles, delayed by unfavorable weather. At a council of the admirals aboard the French battleship Suffren it is reported that a decision was reached to make a new general attack in which all the warships will take part. Reverting to their policy of last fall, the Germans attacked Paris with aircraft. Four Zeppelins started for the city, but only two reached it. These dropped bombs, injuring a number of persons and setting fire to buildings. The French airmen, whose duty it is to guard the city, pursued the Germans, but owing to the mist they were unable to overtake the airships. As far as the land operations are concerned, the eastern front holds the most interest. The Russians despite the swampy conditions of the ground are slowly, according to Petrograd dispatches, pressing the Germans back to the East Prussian frontier. PREPARING FOR A BIG BATTLE Carranza and Villa Troops Soon To Meet Again Washington.—Carranza and Villa forces are expected to elash soon in the vicinity of Monterey and Tampico in one of the most important battles of the present civil strife in Mexico. The Carranza agency here received advices from Vera Cruz saying Villa troops had evacuated San Luis Potosi at the approach of General Beajamin Hill with the advance guard of General Obregon's division, which is moving north. This is the first official intimation of the direction which General Obregon took on evacuating Mexico City and with these advices Carranza officials here admitted that their forces were concentrating for the defense of Tampico. General Obregon is reported to have an army of about 22,000 men. General Pablo Gonzales, the Carranza commander at Tampico, is said to have 12,000. General Villa is in Monterey with his column of 20,000 men and is understood to have several thousand men along the railroad lines approaching San Luis Potosí and Tampico. Elise Arrendondo, head of the Carranza agency, returned to Washington from Vera Cruz, where he spent two weeks conferring with his chief. He issued a statement saying that Carranza would protect property in Yucatan. The statement branded as false reports that property was being destroyed and cities sacked. Crown Prince Wounded. London.—Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, has been seriously wounded by a shell. Rupprecht of Bavaria is the eldest son of King Ludwig. He was born in 1869. During the war he has been prominent in many of the battles on the western front. Last August he was reported to have captured ten thousand French troops and many guns in the fighting in the Vosges and to have repulsed an attack from Nancy and the south. He had been a soldier from boyhood. THE TULSA STAR PREZMYSL FALLS AFTERLONGSIEGE THE BRAVE AUSTRIAN GARRISON HOISTS WHITE FLAG OVER GALICIAN FORTRESS. GREATEST VICTORY OF THE WAR Expected to Stimulate Rumanians and Bulgarians to Side With Allies; 55,000 of Garrison Taken London.—The long investment of the mid-Galacian fortress Przemysh has ended. Depleted by disease, subsisting on horse flesh and surrounded by a superior force of Russians, the garrison has surrendered to the besieging army after a defense lasting many months, which up to the present is recorded as Austria's most noteworthy contribution to the war. Petrograd, London and Paris are celebrating the event, Petrograd and Paris in the spontaneous manner characteristic of these cities; London with silent and grim satisfaction, which is the Briton's way. The newspapers assert that the fall of the fortress marks the most important capture of the war, not excepting Antwerp, in that it not only releases a considerable Russian force which can be thrown into the fluctuating struggle in the Carpathians, but opens the door to Cracow and the plains of Hungary. It is argued, moreover, that the moral effect of the surrender will be tremendous, the theory of the allies being that it will stimulate feeling in their favor both in Roumania and Bulgaria just as the operations in the Dardanelles are causing an agitation in Greece and Italy. Falls With Honor. Premysl fell with honor, the British press concedes, for it withstood the onslaughts longer than any place during the war, the investment, having begun about September 16, something more than six months ago. The duration of the siege compared with the length of time it took the Germans to capture such strongholds as Liege, Namur and Antwerp, is due to two causes, one being the desire of the Russians to keep the loss of life among the bestleging army at a minimum, the other to the lack of great guns, which the Germans had in Belgium. The Przemysl garrison was estimated at 80,000 men last September, and last week it was reported that it had diminished to 55,000. There have been recurrent reports of cholera and other diseases, but these were as vague as many of the premature reports regarding its surrender. Nothing of great importance has been recorded in the western war zone. In the east, aside from the fall of Przemysl the situation around the German port of Memel is the most interesting. From this town the Germans maintain they have driven the Russians, while a controversy is being waged by the press of the two countries as to the merits of the Russian contention that civilians fired on them in this latest incursion in East Prussia—an act which demanded reprisals. There is no late news from the Dardanelles, and the belief in England seems to be that the operations will perhaps be more protracted than at first expected. ALLIES HAVE LOST TEN SHIPS Dardanelles Fight Proving Very Serious Proposition. Berlin.—Dispatches from Salonik say that travelers arriving there from the island of Lemnos assert that seven British and French warships which have been damaged in the attack or the Dardanelles are anchored near the island. A report from Malta says that the British cruiser Amethyst will be disabled for a long time, the injuries to the cruiser having been serious. If this dispatch be true, then the allied fleets have had ten fighting ships put out of commission during the bombardment of the Turkish fortresses guarding the Dardanelles. The Ocean and Irrisistible, British warships, and the French battleship Bouvet were sunk last week. The French battleship Jaugeuriberry, which carries among her armament two 12-inch and two 10.8-inch guns, was ordered to join the French squadron operating against the Dar danelles. Fifty Miners Lose Lives. Vanéouver, B. C.—Fifty miners were killed and as many more injured by a snowslide which swept away several bunkhouses at the Britannia mine at Howe Sound, B. C., according to a dispatch received here. Besides the bunkhouses, part of the aerial tramway of the mine was carried away. The slide swept away a bunkhouse containing fifteen men, a cook house containing ten men and several private houses in which were a number of women and children. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Only a few days ago we had as visitors to the Tuskegee institute the governor of Alabama, the superintendent of education, judges of the supreme court, and many other state officers, and, without hesitation, they declared themselves in favor of education of all the people regardless of race and color, says a dispatch from Tuskegee. Progress being made. Two years ago, for example, in Louisiana 111 children in each thousand between the ages of ten and fourteen could not read or write. Within two years we have reduced that number in Louisiana to 115 in each 1,000. South Carolina, from 150 to 85, in Alabama from 97 to 57, in North Carolina, from 167 to 68, in Georgia from 106 to 58; in Arkansas from 115 to 47, and in Virginia from 97 to 57. Including what they pay in the way of state taxes and in extra taxes in prelonging the school terms and building schoolhouses and supporting private schools, the Negroes in the South now contribute $8,000,000 annually toward their own education. Just now in New York, Booker Washington records, I note that much attention is being given to the investigation of the work of the Rockefeller boards and the Carnegie boards. This investigation should go further. The work of these boards should be followed into our southern states where the money that they have given is helping to make a new South and a new civilization. I wish that those in charge of these investigations could get into the South and trace the influence of the Rockefeller and Carnegie money in bringing about better supervision of the schools by reason of the work of the state supervisors; could trace the influence of these boards in the work of the county supervisors, in the work that the farm demonstration agents are doing in the work of the canning clubs and big clubs. I wish the influence of this money could be followed into the colleges, the farms and into the homes of the people. It is here that the influence of the money from these boards may be felt and seen in the bringing about of higher civilization for white and black people. Through the education of both races we are getting rid of the crime of lynching. Twenty-two years ago there were 225 cases of lynchings, mainly in the South; in 1914 there were only 52 cases of lynchings, a reduction of 400 per cent. Through education the white and the black races are being taught how to live together and work together. There are numerous state and local organizations that now bring the races together in friendly and helpful cooperation. Among these are the Virginia Organization society, the Southern Sociological congress, the Business league, chambers of commerce and women's clubs. The buildings of the various institutes at Tuskegee were shown to a visiting party as model schoolhouses, types of the new and better school system which Alabama is trying to multiply. We understand that thirty or more such schoolhouses are slated for completion the next year, all under the energetic direction of Professor Bibles, a native born white Alabaman, who holds an appointment from the state superintendent of colored rural schools. The excursion was in his charge and his energy and enthusiasm Dr. W. D. Weatherford, athlete, author, traveler and Christian leader, addressed a general assembly at the university at Washington on a moral and social subject applicable to undergraduate life. A Southerner by birth and education, and in great femand throughout the South as a speaker, he was forced to cancel engagements with five universities there in order to make a tour of northwestern universities and colleges. Doctor Weatherford was a varsity baseball and basketball player at his alma mater, Vanderbilt university, and was for three years director of the gymnasium at that institution. For 13 years he has been the Y. M. C. A. student secretary of the international committee for all the colleges in the southern states. He is the author of several volumes, including two on the uplift of the Negro; and is said to have done more than any other man to enlist the friendly co-operation of college men in Negro betterment. With the exception of lovemaking, these are many new ways of doing old things. One Theory Exploded. Wars have no influence on the weather, says Weather Forecaster Bliss, in spite of what we have always believed about thunderstorms and the Fourth of July. Any weather prophet of the old school worth the name will sagely tell you that the Fourth of July always winds up with a grand display of nature's own fireworks, an electrical storm, caused by the explosion of gunpowder. The old-fashioned rainmakers of grandfather's day put their trust in cannon when they wanted water for showed how it takes personality plus money to achieve success here as elsewhere. At each place arrangements were made to seat the visitors, most generally in an adjoining church, and there was much singing and a little talking. At Madison we found a station named after a slave colored man, an ex-slave, whose daughter is the efficient director of the school. The party arrived at Tuskegee early on Sunday evening in time to listen to the quaint singing of the great student body in the beautiful chapel with a capacity of from 1,800 to 2,000, fully uplifted. Then began three days of inspection filled with surprises to those who saw for the first time the wonderful work being done at Tuskegee, not only for the colored young men and women of the South, but for the cause of education, for Tuskegee is a contribution to pedagogy as well as to the race problem. Educators everywhere will have to reckon with Tuskegee if they want to bring their theories and practice down to date. Frederick Douglas for two or three decades was one of the favorites of the lyceum, which he abandoned only after the emancipation of his race. Douglas was beyond all comparison the ablest man whom the black race ever produced in our country, either among the pure black or the class of mixed blood. He himself was a mulatto. His father was pure white of a distin-guished Maryland family. His mother was pure black and his father's slave—that is, his mother was a pure black and his father a pure white. He always gave his mother the credit of his talents. Douglas was born a slave. In early manhood he managed to escape on a ship, and landed in New Bedford, Mass. There he soon learned to read, and worked at such work as he could find. By and by he attended antislavery meetings, and soon became a popular speaker and the pet of the abolitionists. His graphic accounts of his life as a slave were very popular. From giving the story of his life, he gradually branched out into discussions of the political questions of the day, and, next to Phillips, was probably the ablest orator of the antislavery movement. Eventually he went to Rochester and published, for many years, a weekly antislavery paper. Its title was Frederick Douglas Paper, which, next to Garrison's Liberator and the Antislavery Standard, was recognized as the ablest antislavery paper in America. Then he became a lecturer, and his fame spread so rapidly that he took rank in the favor of the lecture-going public with Phillips and the other leading lights of the lyceum. When Lincoln came into power, Douglas moved to Washington, and was appointed to office in the District of Columbia as marshal, a position he held during the entire period of Lincoln's administration. Douglas' first wife was a plantation Negress without any education. A few years ago he married again. His second wife was white, and a woman of education and ability. The black race has developed under freedom many effective speakers, but Douglas was the only man among them who deserved to be regarded as a real orator. —The Great Divide. William R. Valentine of Indianapolis widely known as a Negro educator, was selected by the New Jersey State Board of Education to succeed James M. Gregory as principal of the Industrial School for Colored Youths at Bordentown. He was born at Montclair and was graduated from Harvard. He is now a supervising principal of schools in Indianapolis. In Germany the sofa is invested with a sanctity as of a throne. The visitor must not sit on it unless especially in vited to do so by the hostess. To take a seat there unasked is an outrageous presumption. Wine tasters, employed in their professional duties, never swallow the wine they taste. They merely hold a slip of the beverage in the mouth for a few moments and breathe through the nostrils. And the average man spends nine tenths of his life trying to accumulate enough money to enable him to spend the other tenth in comfort. the crops. It is an interesting theory, Forecaster Bliss admits, but has no basis in fact. Records at the local weather bureau from the time it was organized disprove the theory that there are more thunderstorms July 4 than at any other time.

They have CREDITED out all of their own money, and they now owe the wholesale houses more MONEY than they have groceries in their stock. They can not collect enough at any one time to pay out, so they are FORCED to stay in the RUT until the wholesale houses DECIDE that it is not PROFITABLE to carry them any longer, so THEN they close them out, one at a time. Our best wishes are, that THEY, like LAZURAS, may have TREASURES above, and when they KNOCK at the GATES, that SAINT PETER will RECOGNIZE that they have come UP THROUGH GREAT TRIBULATIONS, and although they made a FAILURE, that it was DUE to the CREDIT-FREE delivery system, and not to a PURPOSE of heart.

Women suffering from any form of female lilis are invited to communicate promptly with the woman's private correspondence department of the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in woman's private correspondence department of the Lyda E.Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass. Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman and held in strict confidence. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established a confidential correspondence which has extended over many years and which has never been broken. Never have they published a testimonial or used a letter without the written consent of the writer, and never has the Company allowed these confidential letters to get out of their possession, as the hundreds of thousands of them in their files will attest. Out of the vast volume of experience which they have to draw from, it is more than possible that they possess the very knowledge needed in your case. Nothing is asked in return except your good will, and their advice has helped thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, should be glad to take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Some men are so thick that they seem to be immune from temptation. The more a man intends to do tomorrow the less he does today. But a man who rushes the growler is never in a hurry himself. It is a sad thought, but true, that mother's little lamb may grow up and have a foul tongue. Those who have tested it find that the epigram, "Ravenge is sweet," is the most misleading of all. The man who does not need to explain anything to his wife is apt to be an uninteresting husband. Every girl wants a string to her beau, but she is apt to lose sight of the fact that too many strings spoil the beau. When a cheap man drops a penny in the contribution plate he figures on getting a through ticket to glory in exchange. The man who prides himself on living others "a piece of his mind" never secures any peace of mind for himself by the process. Good Reason. "Why am I always being made the goat?"

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE Proof That Little Dorothy Had Imbibed the Policies Advocated by Her Mother. Dorothy's mother is a suffragette of advanced type. Dorothy is a dear little girl in a primary grade, but somewhat inclined to copy her elders. One day her teacher received a note from the secretary of the school board, but waited until after class to read it. Dorothy returned for some books and caught tears in the teacher's eyes (the latter had been denied an increase in salary upon which she had based large hopes), and said: "Why are you crying?" The teacher laughed and said, "The naughty old school board isn't nice to me!" Dorothy took hold of the teacher's hand with both hers and said very seriously, "Don't you cry any more. When we get the vote we women will correct such things!"—The Sunday Magazine. Hard Work. "So you have a government clerkship, have you?" "Yes." "Don't have to do any work, I suppose." "I don't. eh?

SELLERS, Acting Director of Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago) LESSON FOR MARCH 28 READING LESSON-Nehemiah 9:26-31. GOLDEN TEXT-Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.—Prov. 14:34. According to Professor Beecher the extent of the period we have been studying during the last quarter is 332 years, from the death of Joshua B. C. 1434 to the reign of Saul, which began B. C. 1102. Though other chronologists may differ slightly, this is approximately correct. We may roughly divide this period into the republic of God and the king; dom of man. In the first section we studied the period of the Judges, Barak, Gideon, Samson and Samuel; one prophetess, Deborah; also the priest Ell and his song; Samuel and Ahiah; and Ruth, who was an ancestress of our great high priest. In the second section we considered Saul the king, and a prince, Jonathan, Saul's son. While the lessons may thus be roughly divided, yet we feel that a general review of the characters and the principal lesson to be learned from each will perhaps be the most profitable form of review. There are four things to be said about each character and his relation to the events occurring in Israel: (1) The people had departed from God; there was disobedience and a religious decline. (2) God permitted on the part of Israel's enemies oppression that finally became unbearable. (3) There was repentance on the part of the people and an appeal to God for help. (4) God raised up a judge who "saved" the people and through this judge wonderful acts were performed showing his power and the favor which rested upon Israel. The adult classes can profitably discuss such questions as, "Why did the people so easily forsake God?" "Why and how did their repentance so quickly lead to their deliverance?" "How did God help the people to return unto him?" "What were the methods and the principles used in God's punishment of the people's sins?" "Was this form of government in vogue a failure?" Coming to the second section, many questions suggest themselves: "What advantages and opportunities did Saul the first king, have?" "How did his failure begin?" "What was the essential difference between the kings dom of Saul and the Republic of God under the Judges?" "What are the outstanding characteristics of Jonah than's life and character?" "What great message for today these characters and these two forms of government have?" Doctor Torrey suggests a profitable form of review, viz., a doctrinal review: (1) The teachings of the lessons of the past quarter about Jehovah and the Holy Spirit; (2) The preview, types and manifestations of the Lord Jesus; (3) The teaching about sin and the particular sins mentioned; and (4) The teachings about the word of God. Of course to do all this, or to follow any part of these suggestions will demand that much work shall be as signed in advance and that great care shall be exercised to make any one of these lines a connected and interesting whole. Above all, beware of attempting too much leat the scholars become confused. If someone can be secured who is moderately successful in using the blackboard an interesting review can be presented to younger scholars by making a drawing presenting a "hail of fame," with panels for Deborah, Gideon, Ruth, Samuel and Jonathan. Another drawing may, by comparison, be termed the "rogues" gallery," and may have in it panels for Samson, Eli, Eil'a sons, and Saul. Then tell, as simply as possible, the salient points in the history of each and show how God approved or disapproved of their lives; which were used, and which set aside. Any school can have before it on a chart or a blackboard the following: The lessons, chief persons, chief facts are given in order. 1. Joshua, Israelites, Judges; a great patience. 2. Deborah, Barak, Sisera; a great deliverance. 3. Glideon, Angel of Jehovah; a great call. 4. Glideon, The Three Hundred; a great test. 5. Manoah, Samson; a great failure. 6. Naomi, Ruh, Orpha; a great resolve. 7. Ell, Samuel, Jahovah; a great vision. 8. Phillistines, Israelites, Ell; a great capture. 9. Samuel; a great victory. 10. Samuel, Saul; a great honor. 11. Nahash, Saul; a great rescue. 12. Jonathan, Armorbearer; a great hero. If written work is asked for be careful not to assign too much and, as far as possible, assign different tasks to individuals of a given class. It would be an inspiration to have a number of girls of the early teen age each to read a brief essay on one of the female characters of the past quarter's lessons, also to have a number of boys selected to do the same for each of the important male characters we have studied. There is no lack of subject matter for this is a period in the history of Israel that teems with life and activity. REVIEW. ALLIES LOSE IN DARDANELLES FLOATING MINES ACCOUNT FOR LOGS OF THREE SHIPS But Bombardment Goes On and Fleet Gradually Beats Its Way Toward Constantinople London.—The British ships Ocean and Irrestible and the French ship Bouvet have been sunk by the Turks in the Dardanelles. The crews of two British ships were virtually all saved, having been transferred to other ships under a hot fire but an internal explosion took place on board the Bouvet after she had fouled the mine and most of her crew was lost. The Bouvet sank within three minutes of the time that she hit the mine. The waters in which the ships were lost had been swept of mines but the British admiralty asserts that the Turks and Germans set floating containers of explosives adrift and these were carried down by the current onto the allied ships gathered inside the entrance of the straits. All the ships that were sunk were old ones, the Bouvet having completed nearly twenty years ago and the Ocean and Irresistible in 1898. They were useful, however, for the work in which they were engaged in the Dardamelles. The sunken British ships are being replaced by the battle-ships Queen and Implacable, vessels of a similar type. They are said to have started some time ago for Near Eastern waters in anticipation of just such losses as have now occurred. Two other ships engaged in the fighting, the British battle cruiser Inflexible, and the French battleship Gaulois, were hit by shells and damaged. The British casualties according to the British official report "were not heavy considering the scale of the operations." The damage done to the Turkish forts by the heavy bombardment has not yet been ascertained. It is stated that the operations against them are continuing. The forts attacked were those on either side of Kephez bay and on Kephez Point outside The Narrows, and those on Killid Bahr and Chanak in The Narrows. The Kephez forts replied strongly when the battleships advanced firing up the Dardanelles and all the ships were hit. It is asserted that these forts finally were silenced and a bombardment of those in The Narrows was under way when the three battleships struck the mines. The blowing up of the ships did not cause a cessation of the fighting, which continued until darkness intervened. Beyond the operations in the Dardanoles the most important news of the day concerns the reported occupation by the Russians of Memel, a German port on the Baltic, as announced in the German official communication. Memel is a town of considerable importance in northeast Prussia and the presence there of the Russian forces is taken by military observers here to indicate that the Russian generals have decided to attempt a big sweep down through East Prussia in an endeavor to compel the Germans to fall back from northern Poland. Again north Poland has been transferred into an immense bog by the thaw which has set in just as Field Marshal Von Hindenburg has started his offensive against Przasnysz. It is declared that it is impossible, except at widely separated high places, to move, let alone fight. 22 VOTES IS ELECTION RECORD Terre Haute Repeater Visit As Many Precincts As Possible. Indianapolis.—A record for voting of twenty-two times in one day was claimed by Fred Elsner, who testified in the trial of the Terre Haute election case. The witness testified that he confined his operations to three precincts and with one exception received a dollar for each time he voted. He said he failed to get paid for one vote, "as the paymaster said I had made enough money already." Elsner was challenged only once during the day, he said. Elsner and others, who described alleged fraudulent voting in which they participated last November in Terre Haute, have pleaded guilty. Evidence bearing on the alleged "training school" for witnesses," which United States District Attorney Frank C. Dailey described in his opening statement, also was introduced. Most of the confessed fraudulent voters testified that they had been told to report on election morning at police headquarters where Chief of Police Hatier gave them an order on a liveryman for a horse and buggy. They said they received a list of voting places and cards bearing names and registration numbers with which they were to vote from E. E. Talbott, city comptroller, and a defendant, in lots of eight or ten at a time. American Mission Attacked. Petrograd.—A dispatch from Djulfa, Persia, to the Westnik news bureau, the official Russian news agency, says: "The Turkish consul at Urumiah, Mehemed, Raghib Bey, at the head of seventy Askari, recently attacked the American mission at that place, where 15,000 orthodox Christians had taken refuge. The consul ordered three priests and two deasons to leave the mission and as they were walking through the streets were insulted and mercilessly beaten. CALOMEL IS MERCURY, IT SICKENS!

SATISFIED AS THEY WERE Couples, Victima of Curate's Mistake, Decided That They Would Let the Thing Go. A vicar of a certain English parish was sitting in his study one morning when in burst the verger in a great utate of excitement. "Mr. ——" mentioning the curate's name, "wants you at once, sir," he exclaimed. "He has married two couples and married the two men to the wrong women, and he does not know what to do." "Have they signed the register?" inquired the clergyman. "No." was the verger's response. No. Was the verger's response. Then they can be married again," said the vicar. "Tell Mr. — I will be at the church in a minute or two to perform the ceremony." In due course the incumbent made his way to the church and found the parties gathered at the entrance. Before he could say anything one of the bridegrooms approached and said: "We have been talking it over, sir, and we have made up our minds to remain as we are." And they did so. When Like Meets Like. The caller at the teller's window was very bald, but the teller inside had him beaten by a hair's breadth. There was still a straggling fringe around the outer border of the caller's head, while the teller's had long reached the stage when he brushed his head with a towel. The caller had evidently imbibed rather freely that day. He took a long look at the teller, smiled a smirking, quizzical smile, then reached into his vest pocket and extracted a fat cigar. "Shey, old teller," he mumbled, thrusting the cigar between the window bars, "have one on me. Anybody that's as baldheaded as you deserves a treat!" Unfriendly Tricks "I thought you were a friend of his?" "I used to be." "And now?" "I had to give him up in self-defense." "Why?"

The Lost Securities By MaryGertrudeSheridan (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman) "If I only had a gun!" sighed old Rufus Thwaite drearily. "What would you do with it if you had, grandfather?" inquired little Ned Rogers. Ned was a neighbor's boy and no relation whatever to his aged companion. Everybody in the neighborhood called Mr. Thwaite grandfather, however. They were in fact more friendly and indulgent than those who had a right to do so. "I'd go to war," replied the old man with vehemence. "I was a soldier once in Wales. I belonged to the English army. Look here," and the rheumatic patriot sprang to his feet with unaccustomed agility, picked up a long stick and went through dimly remembered tactics of the past. It would have been ludicrous had it not been sad. For ten years his married granddaughter and her husband and their family had simply tolerated their aged relative as a helpless, witless old man. They felt bitter towards him because he had lost several thousand dollars in securities, which constituted his sole resources, and which they expected to inherit. One day in the long ago Mr. Thwaite had gone to the city to see the sights. He was missing for three days and then the Allertons received word that he was in a hospital, having been run down by a street car. They had brought him home to find that he had suffered a broken arm and almost a total lapse of memory. They W. H. K. Polishing Up the Rusted Old Musket could not find his precious securities. He had not even a list of what they were. They decided that he must have taken them to the city with him and lost them. He could not remember. Then they began to neglect him. They put him in a small dark bedroom over the kitchen, made him take his meals there, and, lonely and cold though he might be, never invited him into the better part of the house. For about a month the old man had become greatly interested in the war. Every afternoon after school Ned Rogers brought the morning newspaper from home, and he and the old man would go up to the wretched room and he would read to him for an hour, all war news. "See here, Ned," spoke Mr. Thwaita just now, "I feel it my duty to go back to my old home and offer my services to the army." "Why, Mr. Thwaita," exclaimed Ned, "you're too old! Besides, that stiff arm of yours. And how would you ever get there?" "I'd try it, anyhow," replied Mr. Thwaite, a dreamy expression in his eyes. "I'm pretty miserable here, Ned. The folks don't care for me. Now there was my other daughter, Nora. She's Mrs. Milton and lives fifty miles from here. She invited me to live with them, but I knew they were too poor. Besides, Esther here got lots of money from me when I had it. All I have now is a little mortgage. When I collect the interest, twenty dollars every six months, they take most of it away from me. I've got a dollar of the last payment left. Say," exclaimed the speaker with sudden animation, "I've thought of a great scheme." "What is that, grandfather?" I quired Ned curiously. "Well, up in the old attic—it backs on the kitchen roof—is my old gun and knapsack. I asked them once to let me have them, but they only laughed at me and wouldn't even let me go up to the attic to get them myself. Say, you could." "Oh, I would not dare!" declared Ned. "Why not?" It isn't stealing. They're mine. You can get up on the kitchen roof when they aren't watching. There's no sash to that attic window. You can't miss the gun and knapsack. I'll give you the dollar to do it." It took some persuasion to induce Ned to follow out the suggestion of the old man. The bright silver dollar was a powerful argument, however. Two nights later Mr. Thwaite had his coveted accountments and Ned had the dollar in his pocket. The old man spent one entire night polishing up the rusted old musket. He begged powder and caps from a neighbor. The old knapsack was nearly falling to pieces. He tied it up stoutly. "I'll fix that when I get to Nora's," he decided. "I'm going to stop there to bid her good-by." The following day he stole away from the house and the village and headed for the settlement where the Miltons lived. It was a long, hard tramp for the old man. Sturdily, however, he pursued his way, the knapsack strapped across his bent shoulder, the heavy musket carried proudly. He had no money, but kind-hearted housewives gave him what he wanted to eat. Twice he slept in a haystack. He was looked upon with pity as a homeless wanderer. He was pretty glad when one morning from inquiries he found that it was only three miles to the little farm where the Miltons lived. Half the distance accomplished, he was so tired out that he climbed a fence and lay down in a straw heap to rest. He was soon asleep. One hour later a young man driving a horse attached to an old farm wagon went slowly past the spot. Suddenly—bang! He had some difficulty in quieting down the startled horse. Then he looked towards the spot where a puff of smoke had shown. An old man was picking himself up from the ground. It was Mr. Thwaite. He had gone to sleep. His dream had been full of war and warriors. Awakening confused, he had taken a scarecrow near by for "the enemy," had fired, the gun had kicked and over he went. It did not take Mr. Milton long to discover the identity of the old man. He welcomed him to their humble home. Its comfort soon put all warlike ideas out of the head of the delighted old veteran. Nora wrote to her sister about his arrival. Esther wrote back: "Keep him and welcome—good riddance to bad rubbish!" The old army musket was placed across the antlers of a deer in the dining room. The old knapsack Mr. Twaithe unpacked one day, preparatory to burning the rubbish. Nora had not worried her grandfather by telling him of a mortgage on the little home. She was thinking of this sadly when the old man came rushing excitedly into her presence. "I've found them!" he shouted hilariously. "Found what?" inquired the startled Nora. "The lost securitures—in my knapsack. They must have been there all these years and I never remembered it. This time you shall have them, dear little girl! Just give me a home for the few years of life left to me and take the securities for your pay." "We need no pay for dutifully caring for you and loving you, dear grandpa," replied Nora, but the old man was set in his notions and the heavy burden of debt was soon thereafter lifted from the happy household. PRINCE PAGED FOR A COP And Troubetzkoy Responds, and the End Is That a Fine of Two Dollars is Imposed. It sounded like a subway guard calling Fourteenth street or Bowling Green—you can't tell the difference—as a bellhop stalked majestically through the Hotel Plaza paging Prince Paul Troubetzkoy, says the New York Press. The name Troubetzkoy bothered the diminutive page, but he managed to articulate the "prince" all right. It so happened that Prince Troubetzkoy, who is a sculptor with a studio in 24 West Fifty-ninth street, was the only prince in the Plaza at the time, and, giving himself the benefit of the doubt, he responded to the call. "There's a gentleman outside wants to see you," the boy told him. Accompanied by the princess, he went downstairs where at the door he saw Patrolman Cunningham of the East Flirty-ninth street station. Cunningham asked the prince if he was Prince Troubetzkoy, and the prince admitted that he was. He was promptly served with a summons to appear in court for violating an ordinance by leaving his automobile unattended in front of the hotel. The prince expressed regret. The aldermen hadn't notified him they had passed such an ordinance. He was too busy to appear when his case came up in the Yorkville police court the other day, and sent Guy S. Switzer, superintendent of an automobile company, to represent him. A plea of guilty was entered, and Switzer paid a two-dollar fine. The Artist. The whole function of the artist in the world is to be a seeing and a feeling creature; to be an instrument of such tenderness and sensitiveness that no shadow, no hue, no line, no instantaneous and evanescent expression of the visible things around him, nor any of the emotions which they are capable of conveying to the spirit which has been given him, shall either be left unrecorded or fade from the book of record—Ruakta. THE TULSA STAR INDICATIONS OF AN EARLY SPRING Great Prosperity Ahead * for Western Canada. The most recent advices from all points in Western Canada report that conditions are apparent for an early spring. Farmers are going over the implements, getting their seeders ready for operation, the plows in shape for extended breaking, as there is a general optimism. A great many new settlers have already arrived, and the reports from Canadian Government agents in the United States point to the fact that in a few days there will begin the usual emigration from various of the Central and Western states. From the Eastern states the number of farmers going to Canada will be greater than in any past year. There has been a fairly large snowfall during the winter, which will greatly add to the precipitation of last fall, which in the opinion of old-timers was in itself sufficient to insure a good crop during the present year. There will be very little tilled land that will be without a crop this year. The authorities, though, are pleading with the farmers to seed only such land as has had careful preparation, for rich as is the soil of Western Canada, it is no more fitted to produce good crops uncultivated than is that of any other land anywhere else. There have been accounts of failures in some portions of the agricultural districts of Western Canada, and also reports of small yields in some districts. A good deal of this is accounted for from the fact that notwithstanding the advice of men of experience, there are farmers who will persist in seeding land not properly prepared. This may be done this year, but those who cultivate on reasonable and logical methods will be certain of a paying crop. There is every reason to believe that the high prices of all kinds of grain will continue. With thousands and thousands of acres of land waiting for the husbandman to bring it forth with a crop, it is no wonder that Western Canada is continuing to prove such an inviting field for the agriculturist. Seventy million dollars is a conservative estimate of orders which came to Canada as the direct result of the war. Governments of the allies have been placing large orders in Canada and buying huge quantities of supplies for cash. The total value of exports to Europe from Canada has jumped about 15 per cent since the war started, while in certain lines the increases have been enormous. Therefore the results of the demand of the allies for war and other material is beginning to be felt in the financial life of the Dominion. There is a marked activity in many commercial lines, and conditions are fast becoming normal. Western Canada is receiving a relative benefit to the East.—Advertisement. Cheered Too Soon.

Are Hald Responsible for Feeding the Men in the Trenches, and Well and Nobly They Are Doing Their Duty. "There isn't anything heroic about cooks," writes Herbert Corey to the New York Globe, "and when things go wrong one either apprehends a cook as chasing a waiter with a bread knife or giving way to tears." Yet the German army contains many a cook whose expansive apron is decorated with the iron cross. "And the iron cross," Mr. Corey reminds us, "is conferred for one thing only—for 100 per cent courage." The writer tells an interesting tale: "They've earned it,' said the man who had seen them. 'They are the bravest men in the kaiser's four millions. I've seen generals salute greasy, pauunch, sour-looking army cooks.' "The cook's job is to feed the men of his company. Each German company is followed or preceded by a field kitchen or wheels. Sometimes the fires are kept going while the device trundles along. The cook stands on the footboard's and thumps his bread. He is always the first man up in the morning and the last to sleep at night. The Teuton believes in plenty of food—of a sort. A well fed soldier will fight. A hungry one may not. "When the company gets into camp at night," said the man who knows, 'the cook is there before it, swearing at his fires and the second cook, and turning out quantities of a depressing looking veal stew, which is, nevertheless, very good to eat.' "When that company goes into the trenches the cook stays behind. There is no place for a field kitchen in a four-foot trench. But the men in the trench must be fed. The Teuton insists that all soldiers must be fed—but especially the men in a trench. The others may go hungry, but these must have tight belts. Upon their staying power may depend the safety of an army. "So, as the company cannot go to the cook, the cook goes to the company. When meal hour comes he puts a yoke on his shoulders and a cook's cap on his head and, warning the second cook as to what will happen if he lets the fires go out, puts a bucketful of the veal stew on either end of the yoke and goes to his men. Maybe the trench is under fire. No matter. His men are in that trench and must be fed. "Sometimes the second cook gets his step right here. Sometimes the apprentice cook—the dish washer—is summoned to pick up the cook's yoke and refill the spilled buckets and tramp steadily forward to the line. Sometimes the supply of assistant cooks, even, runs short. But the men in the trenches always get their food. "That's why so many cooks in the German army have iron crosses dangling from their breasts, said the man who knows. No braver men ever lived. The man in the trench can duck his head and light his pipe and be relatively safe. No fat cook yoked to two buckets of veal stew_ever can be safe as he marches down the trench under fire. But he always marches. His men are always fed, and fed on time. The hero of the German campaign is the fat cook of the field kitchen." Unusual Business Happening. Unusual Business Happening. Through the transfer of a lease recently in New York, what is believed to be the most unusual trinity of business interests in the history of the country has developed. For a hundred years the same family has retained the ownership of the property, which has been occupied in part by the same firm for that length of time, leasing through the same real estate brokerage firm. The property in question is a section of the four-story building at the corner of Front and Fulton streets, which has come down through three generations of the Peter Schermerhorn family. The original lease made to Samuel G. Smith has been renewed from year to year for the past century by the brokerage firm of William Cruikshank's Sons. --- PAGE EIGHT Dealers In Bartlesville News The Knight of Pythias annuus, sermon will be held at the County Court House Sunday March 28.1915 3.00 pm, conducted by Rev J C.

Dear Newt: We have in our home a darling baby boy, who was four months old on January 20 last. When was he five months old?—Mother. Your little tootsums boy is four months old, eh? What a cunning little thing he must be! Of course, he is more cunninger now than he will be when he begins to cut his teeth. You made no mention of Father, Mother. I hope Father is well. I wouldn't want you to think I am knocking Father at all—far from it, but just between you and me. I don't think I would let Father hold tootsums or lug him about very much. What does a man, even though he be a father and husband, know about handling a baby? Father is just as likely to pick tootsums up by the heels as any other way—and also liable to let the dear little thing slip through his hands to the floor. Safety first for tootsums, Mother! However, you want to know when your baby was five months old. You say he was four months old last January 30. Very well—listen: Tootsums was five months old on February 30 and—no—just a minute. Mother—I don't mean that exactly—on second thought I see I spoke hastily. As a matter of fact, there is no such date as February 30—haha! tee-hee!—that was laughable, wasn't it. Mother? —quite absurd and ridiculous in the extreme! Now let us get down to brass brads on this Mother. Since tootsums was four months old on January 30, one would naturally suppose that the child would be five months old on the 30th of the month following. But in this case the month following—February—ain't got no 30th! Right there's the rub. Mother, and we'll have to govern ourselves accordingly. Offhand I should say that tootsums was five months old on March 2 because—naw, naw, that won't do, either. For if he's five months old on March 2 then he'll be six months old on April 2 and when we got around to the first anniversary of tootsums' birth we're gonna be all balled up and—excuse me a moment. Mother—I'm called to the telephone—I may be back Mother, and I may not!—Newton Newkirk in the Boston Post. War Boomed Photography War Boomed Photography. It was inevitable that the war would produce some industrial surprises and additions; yet it will seem strange to the man in the street that one of the trades which has prospered, especially on the continent, is that of photography. Putting press photography side, war does not suggest itself as a time when people would want specially to be photographed, and it is true that a good deal of the work has been the result of necessity. In the beginning of the war, when every household in western and middle Europe was sending out some member, it was natural that those departing should, when possible, have been photographed for their relations. When they were gone they demanded photographs of wives, children or sweet-hearts, so that there was a great trade in the manufacture of picture post cards to that end. Then, when the trade might have languished, the police stepped in.—Manchester Guardian. Alaskans Boycott Church. The natives of Haines have declared a boycott against the Presbyterian mission here, and they refuse to go to church because the missionary closed the hall where they had been solding their dances. The trouble started over the attempts of the dusky women of Haines to learn the latest society dances. One "buck" who had been to Juncau, where he had seen the tango, with all its variations, held his Haines partner in a manner unbecoming to the high standards set by Haines society. She complained to her husband, and the fight which resulted lasted several minutes. As the pastor owns a half interest in the hall, he locked the doors and kept the keys. The natives then decided to retaliate by staying away from church—Skagway (Alaska) Correspondence to New York Sun. Quiet Frogs With Salt. Cudahy (Cal.) boasts a magician who has power over frogs. This marvel, a woman, lives where the ground is low and the water gathers when it rains. And in the rain the aforesaid frogs come home to roost and to groak. Now, a croaking frog is some nuisance when one desires to sleep. Mrs. M. H. Murphy, who lives on Mary street, stood the serenade the first night very well. But the second night her nerves got ragged around the edges, and on the third night sheacked her brains for a way to silence the frogs. Her subconscious mind came to the rescue and suggested a remedy she first heard in childhood. This was to feed the melodious frogs with salt. Five pounds of salt covered Frogtown next morning, and the singers moved out. Yeast—What do you think of the 4-hour clocks?
