(From the New York News, May 20, 1915.) "That the Woodrow Wilson administration will stop its wholesale dismissal of colored men from the government service, whether Republican or Democratic, only when not one of them can boast that he holds a representative position, seems to be borne out by the proceedings of the last few days. Since the forced resignation of Collector Chas. W. Anderson from the office of 'Collector of Internal Revenue, most of the colored people holding responsible and representative positions in the New York districts have either been dismissed or demoted. Three colored gaugers, it is announced, will walk the plank on the first of the coming month. The colored inspectors still in the revenue service within the last few weeks are others among those who have been either dismissed or transferred. A colored woman who held a responsible stenographic position and rated as revenue collector has been handed her resignation. On last Saturday Ralph W. Langston, for many years one of the pillars of local colored Democracy, who was appointed to his position as deputy collector by the Wilson administration a little over a year ago, was put out of office. It is said that Mr. Langston was notified some time previously that his resignation, to take effect on June 15, would be accepted. This this Mr. Langston is said to have demurred. Failing to send in his resignation, he was summarily ousted, it is stated. The rumor is persistent in certain quarters that Bishop Alexander Walters could have the appointment of Recorder of Deeds if he wished it. It was further stated that he was going to take it, since his friend, Lawyer Albert Cosey, of New Jersey, has been recently disbarred and could not take it. Those in position to know say that Mr. Wilson would not appoint any colored man to office if he figured there was a chance of his bein confirmed. Peter J. Smith, the other colored man appointed by the Wilson administration to a deputy position in Boston, is also said to be expecting his dismissal at any time." GOVERNOR MA WOMEN P Williams Declares Penitentiary Is No Fit Place for Them and Is Arranging Paroles. Oklahoma City, June 1.—Gov. Williams wants the women out of the penitentiary, because he thinks it is not a fit place for them. There may be exceptional cases, he says, when imprisonment will bring good results, but he has virtually promised to parole all women who have friends to vouch for their good behavior. The governor's declaration was made while commenting upon the cases of several women now confined in the penitentiary, and especially in the case of Mrs. Alverta Gentry, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her husband. "The penitentiary is no proper place for awoman," said the governor, "and I do not want any woman to remain there, except in rare cases, when she has relatives or friends who will care for her and keep her out of trouble. When I receive such assurances from responsible persons I am constrained to grant paroles. "Of course there are a few exceptions, but as a rule I want the women out of the penitentiary. They are a charge upon the state and a burden The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma True Race Man Appreciates The Star Unsolicited He Contributes to Expense of Race Paper A. L.

Please find enclosed $2.50 which I am giving to help carry the expense of the Star. I do this because I feel that every Colored man in Tulsa who is able to should donate something each month to help you bear*the burden that I know you are bearing alone to give us a creditable and worthy mouthpiece. The Star has done much good for us all, and I am willing to give something every month to help bear the expense until the Star is able to sail alone. Very truly. A. L. PHILLIPS. AY FREE ALL CRISONERS to the taxpayers. As a general thing, women do not commit crimes unless induced or driven thereto by bad husbands, or other circumstances that bring about a condition that is not normal. "Usually it is not necessary to keep women in the penitentiary, and I am going to parole those who have friends to youch for them."

STRADFORD VISITS POINTS OF INTEREST ON WAY TO NEW YORK Member State Legislature Must Stand Trial on Liquor Charge Muskogee, Okla., June 1.—Tom Hunter of Hugo, prominent in state politics and a member of the Oklahoma legislature, must stand trial in the federal court on the charge of violating the federal liquor law. A motion to dismiss the charge was overruled today by United States Judge Ralph Campbell. Hunter was indicted jointly with Eli Bohannon in November last year by the grand jury at Chick asha. He was a member of the legislature at the time of his arrest. Mrs. Swinger Gets Divorce Mrs. Emma Sevinger of North Greenwood was granted a divorce in the district court here Monday from her husband, B. W. Swinger. The trial of the case is said to have occasioned a deal of amusement probably not any more than many other cases where both parties were white, but more noticeable because in this case they were Negroes. Teachers Appointed For Colored Schools Teachers Appointed For Colored Schools At a meeting of the school board Monday night all of the teachers for the Colored schools were re-appointed for the next school term.

Writes Interesting Letter Of His Observations To The Star-Says Tulsa Is Behind So Far As Colored People Are Concerned Kansas City, Kans., May 31, 1915. Mr. A. J. Smithsman.—Dear friend, I take this method to inform all of my friends ad acquaintances of my whereabauts, my health and the con- ditions which exist among our people in this city, especially the civic con- ditions of Kansas City. Monday I met our old friend Harry Graham, a man who knows how to make it pleasant and interesting for a stranger in a strange city. The first place of interest we visited was Garrison square, between Firest and Troost on 5th street. Garrison school is also situated in this square. This square and its buildings are devoted exclusively to the interest of the Colored people, one of the larger 2 story buildings on this square contains one large auditorium which is used for the children to have drilling exercises through the day, and for public meetings etc., at night. There are quite a number of committee rooms, free bath rooms for the public to secure a bath, you must pay one cent for a bar of soap, 1 cent for a towel, and then go into the bath room and wash until your scales fall off. This bath room is well patronized, and the Colored citizenship of Kansas City is approaching a state of Godliness, for they all have a chance to keep clean. Last but not least by any means, they have in this building a public library which is well patronized, an institution which I have labored so faithfully to establish in Tulsa. It pains me very greatly in deed, to know that the needs of our people are so much neglected in Tulsa. I believe that whenever there is a will there is a way. I believe there is a way for us to secure some public accommodations for our people; we must not de spair, we must double our determination, we must work incessantly to see our hopes realized and our labor crowned with success. This whole fair is supported by the city. I hope the day will soon come when our city will be more liberal with her Colored citizens. The next place of interest visited was the Colored cemetry, an institution exclusively for the Colored people. A place of beauty. We had the pleasure of witness ing thousands and thousands of persons visiting this dead city and decorating the graves of their loved ones, with the most beautiful flowers, and laso witnessing the unveiling of the statue of Miss Emma Smith, a departed member of the Blind Boone Concert Co. A very costly statue indeed. The next place visited was the Y. M. C. A. grand spacious and attractive structure. Modern in all its apartments, and it is conducted like a well governed home. Everything that is conducive to health of mind and body is afforded for the patrons. Tell George A. Hutchins and John Grayson I defeated all the checkers players I met, and I played several. Relative to the economic conditions of our people here, and also social and moral I will write at length in my next letter. I enclose you a card containing the names of two yearly subscribers for your paper, who are anxious to learn what we are doing in Tulisa. Miss Brown applied for a position in our city schools last year. A very intelligent young lady. Mr. Dandridge is one of our most wealthy citizens of K. C. Kan. I will leave here at 9:45 A. M. Tuesday for New York, and will arrive in New York city at 3 P. M. Thursday. I will write you when I get to New York. I am enjoying good health at present, the weather is quite cold, I am very sorry that I did not bring my raglin with me. Hoping this will find you and wife, John and the kids well I am your friends. Regards to all. J. B. STRADFORD. Adds 24000 To Army Force Japan Believes In Military Readiness. Tokio, June 1.—The government's policy of military development was approved by the house today in an exciting session. By a vote of 232 to 131 the house adopted the provision for an increase in the standing army of two divisions or about 24,000 men. It then approved the entire bucget. Subscription $1.00 Per Year Many Tulsans Buy Shares In Telephone Co. President of Only Colored Telephone Company in Southwest Vieits Tulsa, Selling Stock. Has Operated Smithville Telephone Exchange Six Years. Comparatively few people in Oklahoma know that there is a telephone company in the state owned and controlled by Colored men, but it is a fact. It's headquarters are nine miles south of Shawnee, at a little town called Smithville, and the company has been doing business since 1909, when it was first organized, capital of $10,000.00. Since that time the company have built many miles of line, both metallic and grounded circuit, and have subscribers among both white and Colored people. They have trained a number of Colored boys as linemen, who are now able to install and repair telephones and a Lumber of girls as efficient operators. It is now dawning upon the company that their work has just begun if it is to be made the grand success that it should be. They see a splendid opportunity to make money for the hundreds of our own boys and girls and they have determined to push the work for all its worth. It is the desire of the company therefore to establish an extensive toll system throughout the state. To do this it will require money and lots of it. But there are plenty of Colored people in Oklahoma to furnish every penny needed. The company have decided to sell 100,000 shares of stock at $1,000 a share to prosecute the work, and it is very probable that they will succeed. N. O. Bryant, president of the company is personally touring the state selling stock in the hope of some day realizing the success of their efforts. Mr. Bryant is now in Tulsa having arrived here Wednesday afternoon, but will return to Smithville some time today. A number of Colored men here have purchased stock in the company some of them as much as fifty shares. Smithville is an exclusive Colored town with good railroad accommodations, with both ticket and express agents. Bryan Believes In Education Bryan Believes In Education Would Build Schools Instead of Ships Washington, D. C., June 1.—Secretary Bryan was the chief speaker at a luncheon given today by the Washington board of trade to the honorary commercial commission in China. The secretary thanked the Chinese for the honor they paid the United States in emulating its government; in sending its students to American universities, and in co-operating with missionaries and teachers. "I believe the United States can secure its safety better by making friends who love her than by making other nations fear her," said Mr. Bryan. "Half the money we spend in battleships could better be spent in educating the young men of other nations in our schools." Mr. Bryan said democratic governments, by discarding implements of terror, dare build citadels in the hearts of men. By giving other nations their ideals, republics fulfill the laws of service and make lasting friends. including the naval program, which provides for construction of three submarines and eight torpedo boat destroyers.

McCollogh TULSA, OKLA Phone 3337 TULSA, OKLA TULSA, OKLA AFRO-AMERICAN CUL AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A Negro woman led a small boy up to the front door of the Y. M. C. A. building at 1834 Paseo a few weeks ago and literally pushed him inside. "Maybe these folks can do something with you," she said severely to the small boy, wh. was looking stubborn and keeping still. "If they can't I'm through with you." She left a little money for the small boy's uplift and departed, voluble with doubts. The young Negro men at the Y. M. C. A. are a hopeful crowd. He was sturdy small boy, and he would look 'you squarely in the eye, and abundant energy is a good fault, even though it does take Satanic outlets at times. If there were just some way of getting him. And presently it developed that the small boy was extremely fond of swimming. A grin of pure raptuus overspread his countenance when he saw the big pool of clear green water in the basement—and thereafter the small boy's interest was assured. He's bossing a Bible class now and swimming in races with fellows twice his size, and allowing the big straight military Hardy, "gym" instructor, who used to play on a real college football team with surprising precision. He raps out his orders in good style, this man Hardy; and he's training them not to shuffle their feet, and to hold up their heads and their shoulders, and yet he has time to give a pat on the back to the fat boy who has such a hard time getting over the "horse" and who reduces the entire room, including the "ragging" piano player, to gleeful laughter. It is very new, this Negro Y. M. C. A.—it's only been open two months—and comparatively few people know about it. Also, there is a good deal of fantastic misinformation current on Vine street. A lodging house keeper will tell you that the rooms are kennels and the beds bunks hollowed out of the wall. As a matter of fact, the rooms, with their oak furniture, electric lights, steam heat and clean beds, and a big window in each room, are hard to beat anywhere in town. They rent for $1.50 to $2.50 a week, and there is no accommodation for Negroes in town to compare with them. It is interesting, too. » see the pride the men take in keeping the rooms clean.—Kansas City Star. The growing literacy of the Negroes is an occasion for general approval. In every city and state the percentage of illiteracy among Negroes is lower in younger generations than in the older. In Georgia, for example, among Negroes from ten to fourteen years old the percentage of those who can't write was 22.1. Among those between twenty-five and thirty-four years the percentage of illiteracy was 32.7. Among those from fifty-five to sixty-four years and over the percentage was 70.2. The Negro is taking advantage of the educational opportunities at hand. In Boston the number of Negro children who go to school is in a greater proportion than the number of native white children in ten other census cities. But even so, less than half of the Negro children from six to twenty years old are attending school, taking the country as a whole. These bare figures, however, recount a record of progress made possible only by tremendous efforts. Within sixty years of freedom the Negro has achievements to his credit of which any race might be proud. That education is the solution of the Negro problem in the United States is the practical and proved theory being advanced today by the enlightened men and women both of the white and colored races. When one considers that it was only a little more than half a century ago that the Negro was freed from bondage in this country, the advancement made by these people in almost every walk and profession of life is almost remarkable. Earning a living through civil service furnishes interesting proof of the Negro's faithfulness and ability. When the Negro was first admitted to civil service examination it was pointed out by Negrophobists that with the merit system the Negro would be eliminated from civil service, but just the reverse has happened. It has been found that wireless telegraph waves are propagated along the surface of the earth with a velocity slightly inferior to that of light. More than 24,000,000,000 tons of coal remain to be taken from the fields in Waies, according to geologists. A Sheffield firm has received from Holland a contract for the manufacture of 60,000 army pocket knives, to be made to the pattern of those hitherto imported from Germany. The jinricksha is the man-propelled vehicle of the far East. It is being superseded by a vehicle known as the cyclericksha. Salubite, a new explosive, is 50 times more powerful than dynamite, and is much safer, for it will explode only by means of the percussion cap. AN CULLINGS In the American Magazine appears an account of Mrs. Dismukes, Negro laudress in Fisk university at Nashville, Tenn., who, out of her small means has given $1,000 toward a music building for Fisk university. Fortynine other thousands are necessary if the building is to be realized, but Mrs. Dismukes has infinite faith that they will be forthcoming. Following is an extract from the account of what this woman has done. The article was written by the late Dr. George A. Gates, the late president of Fisk university: Her story is almost too sacred to put into print. She felt and feels that all of life that is worth while she owes to Fisk university and what it has revealed to her of the spirit of high-minded and nerous men and women. She has felt that all she could do was too little in return for what she has received. So this hard-working, faithful and efficient Negro woman has kept her home, her husband maintaining it with a man's self-respect. She meantime has done her full work and borne her full responsibility in her place in the institution. For the last four years she has turned back her monthly salary check into the institution, until just now she has completed her long cherished plan to give $1,000 as the beginning of a fund for a music building on our campus. "On the day that the last $25 was turned into the school treasury, completing the thousand, Mrs. Dismukes declared she wouldn't exchange places with anyone, that she was the happiest woman in the world. "The music building has not yet materialized, but her faith is undaunted, and she frequently remarks to some teacher in the music department: 'Of course that music building is coming'; I know it. I feel' it. Why, it's bound to come.' But I wish it might while I'm alive to see it.'" While Negroes increased numerically in the United States between 1900 and 1910 to the extent of 11.2 percent, they did not keep pace with the whites. That was due to immigration. On this account there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion of Negroes to the rest of the inhabitants. In 1790 Negroes made up nearly one-fifth of the population; in 1910 they composed slightly over one-tenth. Further, the number of mulattoes appears to have increased continuously during the last forty years. Of the 9,827,763 Negroes in the country at the time of the last counting, more than one-fifth were of mixed white and Negro blood. That indicates how prevalent is the process of miscegenation, a process through which in the course of a thousand years or so the Negro will have lost his color, according to at least one anthropologist great reputation. In 1900 20 per cent of Negro homes were owned. In 1910 the percentage had grown to 22.4. In Virginia 41.3 per cent of all Negro homes were owned, an extremely high figure. Virginia, however, had fewer Negroes in 1910 than it had a decade previous. From Virginia 206,764 Negroes migrated to other states during the ten-year period. Though popular opinion in the South holds that Negroes "go North" when they move, Arkansas, a southern state, showed the greatest gain from this migration. One of the evils of war is the lowering of the national physique. In the generation after the Franco-German war there was an appreciable decrease in the stature of Frenchmen through the large number of young men of good physique who were killed. Grape seeds, for which hitherto no use has been known, have been found to contain oil which is especially valuable in the manufacture of soap, and a South American refinery is making preparations to produce it on a large scale. At Japanese auctions each bidder writes his name and bid on a slip of paper, which he puts in a box provided for the purpose. When the bidding is over the box is opened and the goods declared the property of the highest bidder. In these days of political germination, some fellows forget their friends and let their enemies forget them. Even when thawed and cooked frozen beets have been found to contain a poison deadly to live stock. The mountains of Puerto Rico are so magnetic that they attract surveyors' plumb line. It has been found that some old surveyors are incorrect by half a mile or more. "He is the sort of fellow," said Eph Wiley, recently, in speaking of his son-in-law, "who builds a theater in a small town." Marriage is the ceremony which binds a woman to work for her board and clothes for the remainder of her natural life.

Loudon.—The American steamer Ne braskan, Captain Green, from Liver: pool, May 24, for Delaware breakwater, Was torpedoed by a submarine at a point forty mites west-southwest of Fastnet, off the south coast of Ireland. The sea was calm at the time, The crew at once took to the boats and stood by the steamer, It was soot ascertained that the Nebraskan was not seriously damaged. She had been struck forward and her foreholds were full of water. ‘The crew returned on board and got the vessel under way. No lives were lost among the crew. The Nebraskan ‘aid not carry any passengers. The “vessel was finally taken into Liverpool without sinking. On arrival there, the saptain said, “1 saw no submarine but am certain it was a torpedo which hit us. “Moreover, a submarine could not have failed to see our name and r tionality, which was outlined in ly ¢e letters on our sides.’ ‘The members of the crew of the Ne- braskan were agreed that the explo- sion was undoubtedly caused by a tor- pedo.

Washington.—The United States government had received messages from Ambassador Pare and Consul General Skinner at London and a state- ment from Captain Greet. of the Amer- lean steamer Nebraskan. but from all information thus far available it has been impossible to determine whether the explosion on the Nebraskan was caused by a mine or torpedo, Any diplomatic action concerning the incident will be deferred until there is deiinite proof of the cause of the explosion, Should it develop that the vessel was Corpedoed, the fact that her flag had been lowered a few min- ates before at sundown would have no bearing upon the action of the Ameri- can government which always has in: sisted upon the exercise of the right of visit and search before an attack upon any merchat tman, BRITISH LOSE 2 MORE VESSELS 400 Men Killed By Explosion In Sheer. ness Harbor.

Another victim was the steamer Glenlee, 4,000 tons, which was sunk somewhere between the British and French coast recentiy, In the North Sea German submarines sent the Rus sian ship Mars to the bottom a few days ago, and the losses of the British steamers Spenymoor and Cadeby also have been reported.

The New York supreme court af- firmed the conviction of Becker by a Jury in the supreme court at his sec ‘ond trial, held several months ago. The same court gave Becker a new hearing after his first trial Executive clemency for Becker ts regarded ay remote. As district at- torney of New York county the pres ent governor prosecuted the former police Heutenant both times, person: ally conducting the examination of witnesses in the second trial Specu: lation is rife here as to whether Beck: er, facing death will not seek to save nection with the so-called “police sys- nection with th eso-cailed “police sys- tem” in New York to the governor. ‘The statement has been frequently made that the trial of Becker and the four gunmen who shot Rosenthal only scratched the surface of the true con- ditions in New York police circles. ‘The date for Becker's execution may ‘not be set nor the death warrant signed until next week, owing to the absence of some of the judges.

Contrary to the sentiment of some of the leading newspapers of the country, we believe, that under existing curcumstances in the European situation the German government is justified in the posi- tion it assumed in replying to the U. S. note, and stated well its side of the case. If our government is to assume guardianship of the “accepted international law” it seems to us that Great Bitain and the other powers should also be made to respect that law. Great Britain, we think, was first of the powers in this conflict to openly disregard this law in past and we see no reason why Germany should uffer more than England, ‘This government will gain noth- ing by severing relations with the German government, except what might come through a declaration of war, and whatever it gained in this way would be dearly paid for in human lives. | PAGE FOUR Sporting Dope Monday night one of the fase t bonts ever staged in Okla- homa between two middle-weights was pulled off in the East End at Pal Garden under the auspicies of thy B M.A, © The contestants for the honors being Jack Seott of Boston and George Clark of Joplin Ti was fightfrom the tap of the gong until ihe bell sounded the elose of the 10 rounds Each of the figbiers showed great skill in the ring and the spectators were more han pleased to see each one bat- tling for the honors of the oceassion Tt was a great affair from every angle aithough no ceeision Was giventhe public has its opinion of the fight and who nafurally merit- ed the honor of being ‘he greatest fighter The same contestants are staged for a 15 round bout in the near future the contest to take place at Palm Garden 122 N Green wood Avenue, nday ynd M © Okmulgee Oil Burners we ofeat be fore Tulsa B, M ¢ score of not errors © part of the Okmulgee in every particular Wednesdays game between the Blues and Colts was a very ragged one, Re peated errors on the part of the Colts and being unable to effectively hit the bali caused the visitors to easily win Tulsa at no stage of the game having & possible ehance to acore.

Arabistan lies at the head of the Persian gulf, its western boundary being the Shat-el-Arab, the great river formed by the combined waters of the Tigris and Euphrates, the right bank of which is in Persian ter- ritory, while the left is in Turkish Arabia.

THEN HE WORE THE HAT David Warfield Felt He Could Follow Style That Was Set by King of England. David Warfield claims "the" honor of having led the styles in one particular at least. But he says it wasn't as fault. He entered a hat shop not long ago and dissatisfied turned from one shape to another until his eye fell on one that pleased him. "What about this?" he asked. "Oh, that—" diplomatically hesitated the clerk, who did not wish to lose a customer, but who had fears of consequences—"why, that—do you think you would like that, Mr. Warfield?" "I do like it," said the actor. "Why not? I like the shape. It is such a nice dull shade, too—so soft in tone." The clerk said no more, and the actor took the hat. When he looked at it the next day his teeth met in a way that boded no good for the bashful clerk. The hat was green. However, he determined to make no complaint. He recalled the hesitation of the man in the store, and so in the daytime the green hat hung in the closet. At night Mr. Warfield did not hesitate, to wear it to and from the scene of his labors. His friends all asked: "Where'd you get the hat, Dave?" But "Dave" never would tell, for he—knew the joke was on him. Each morning he would gaze longingly at his favorite hat, and then with a shake of his head would hang it back on its hook. "I haven't got the nerve," he would mutter. "The shape's all right, but oh the color!" One day recently a member of his family, who was reading a newspaper, suddenly looked up and exclaimed: "Why, what do you suppose?" "I don't know," answered Warfield. "Somebody dead or married, I guess. I give up." "The king of England's wearing a green hat like yours." "No, really?" said the actor. "The king can do no wrong.

PYRTLE, Proprietor MIRIAL DEDICATED in of the Straus memorial fountain in memory of Isidor Straus, the merchant hed side by side in the Titanic disaster I do not know whether Dickena seriously intended Mrs. Gummidge to be taken as a portrait of Queen Victoria, but there is not the slightest doubt that there is a strong likeness between the illustrious sovereign who mourned so faithfully for Prince Albert, and the charming old lady in "David Copperfield," who was always "thinking of the old 'un.'" If Queen Victoria had been the widow of a Yarmouth fisherman her devotion to the memory of her husband might have seemed Gummidgean to her most loyal subjects. But the luxury of regret is one of the privileges of royalty, whereas in humble life it is a comic extravagance. The poor woman cannot afford to spend her life in weeping over the most excellent spouse. Perpetual brooding over the best of men is in our day regarded as mawkish and morbid. Queen Alexandra has set all widows a splendid example of cheerful fortitude and energetic social service. The modern woman is far more practical than her mother or her grandmother. It is the modern man who wallows in unhealthy sentiment, and who revels in gloom and melancholy. Nearly every man rallies on some valiantly optimistic woman to revive his drooping soul—London Opinion. Nancy Jay of Richmond is four years old and full of wisdom—and some Scripture. Nancy's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jay. The parents belong to a coterie that gathers every so often to agitate the feet in the new dances. Recently the dancing club adopted the plan of meeting at Mr. and Mrs. Jay's every other Monday evening. The Jays have a house well adapted to dancing. The members of the club bring their suppers as if bound for a picnic. They eat, then dance. Nancy Jay has grown weary of the commotion. And so, a few nights ago, as she knelt by her bed to pray, she up a little Lord's prayer all her own. The mother was startled to hear this plea issue from her daughter's supplicating soul: "And, O Lord, deliver us from people and lead us not into hesitation."—Indianapolis News. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Gummidge. Dire Fate. THE TULSA STAR JUDGE'S "TREE TOAD" JUDGE'S "TREE TOAD" MUSICAL NOTE PLEASED THE OLD GENTLEMAN. Engine Blast That Almost Burst the Ear Drums of Other Members of the Party Caused Him Enjoyment. At one of the rehearsals of "Robin Hood" by the Bostonians, on the occasion of that company's first week in Detroit, William H. MacDonald and Henry Clay Barnabee were critically listening to a finale. Conductor Sam Studley was wildly waving his baton and shouting "Forte! Forte!" "Forte! Forte!" echoed through the building, as the vocal sound, the shrieks of the violins, the crash of brass and the thunder of drums united in one ear-splitting fortissimo. When the tumult had subsided Barney and Mac looked at each other inquiringly. "Fair, en!" commented MacDonald. But Barnabae merely replied, as he walked rapidly toward the stage, down the center aisle: "It reminds me of Judge Hand's tree toad." (Judge George E. Hand was then and had been for many years a familiar figure in the life of Detroit. He had been probate Judge, had practiced law until old age interposed a valid objection to further intellectual activity, was a social beau of the old school, the dean of Russell house boarders, unless, indeed, Madame Centemeri out-yearned him, and very hard of hearing.) "What on earth, or in the air, has Judge Hand's tree toad to do with a finale in 'Robin Hood?'" queried the astonished MacDonald. But it was not until they were seated at lunchon that Barney enlightened his associate. In the days of Barnabee's historic concert tours (in the seventies), when his rendering of "The Man With the Cork Leg" had set the country in a roar, and which some of us still remember as an example of unique musical humor, Barnabee was a guest of Judge Hand, and was invited by that courteous, though stiffly informal, gentleman to join an expedition to the Grand Trunk Junction, near which lay some realty that was in litigation, of which the judge had professional charge. Other members of the party were the jurors and the court officers connected with the suit. After inspecting the property the men took their way to the railway station to await the coming of the home-bound train. Freight trains were thunderning to the right of them; to the left of them; in front of them, and all around them. Engines wildly shrieked in the distance and at close quarters; but the catastrophe was not reached until one engine, more malignant than the rest, puffingly quivered on the rails close to the judge's party, and let go a whistle the unearthly piercingness of which not even Gabriel's trumpet could equal. When the victims of the blast recovered breath they beheld the smiling judge in a mild ecstasy. "Dear me," he spoke in the most lucid of accents, "that is the first tree toad I've heard this season." If, as a certain French scientist claims, files dislike the color blue, it might pay to paint the kitchen walls a vivid cerulean as an experiment. It has been said that files do not rise above the second floor, but by actual observation a fly has been seen to rise nearly fifty feet and the writer has been bothered with them on the eighth floor of an office building where they were almost too numerous to have made their way up in the elevator. Housewives should burn all refuse as soon as possible, or at least keep the id tightly over the garbage can. It does not keep out files to leave one window unscreened even if all the rest are protected and all screens should be put up before the first May not spell. The only way to keep files out is to prevent their getting in in the first place, as killing the intruders does not destroy the microscopic eggs secreted about the house. Admiral Peary's Lucky Number. Admiral Peary's Lucky Number. Even so practical a man as Admiral Peary has his little superstition and is not ashamed to confess it. Talking at a dinner in his honor, held in Washington the other night, he called attention to the fact that six is his lucky number. He was born on the sixth of May; the ship in which he reached "farthest north" prior to the discovery of the pole left land on the sixth of March; the Roosevelt, on its voyage that achieved the coveted goal, sailed from New York on the sixth of July; the pole was reached on the sixth of April, and the wireless message from the Labrador coast announcing the discovery was flashed on the sixth of September. We hope six has not lost its charm for the admiral, and that in years to come it will bring him further successes and renown. Curtailed Entertainment "What are you going to talk about at your meeting?" asked Mr. Meekton. "About the advantages the country will enjoy when women vote at all elections." "And there isn't going to be any gossip at all?" "None whatever." "Well, I suppose it's all right. But it doesn't give a man near as much interesting chat to look forward to when he comes home to his evening meal." To Prevent Filies. In The Soci ROB L.

FIVE FAST AUTOMOBILES IN DELIVERY SERVICE Main Office 118 East 3rd St Girla aa Telegraph Messengers: The juvenile employment committee of the Liverpool education committee announces that it has arranged with the postmaster to provide him during the period of war with a number of girls as telegraph messengers in suburban post offices, and it invites large firms hitherto employing boy labor to make a similar experiment. It is pointed out that the placing of boys in good situations presents no difficulty. There were but recently 249 boys seeking employment and 306 employers seeking boys, this being a complete reversal of the state of things a year ago. On the other hand, there were 32 vacancies in the girls' department and 455 applicants for them. The problem presented by these hundreds of unemployed girls is giving the committee the greatest anxiety.—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Greek Surnames. To the average man the names of the new Greek ministers may prove bewildering, but to the initiated they reveal a good deal. Until after the war of liberation a century ago few of the Greek population had surnames, and a recent generation created their patronymics by various methods, but generally by adopting the name of their trade or birthplace, to which their successors have added the terminals "opontos," "ides," "akes," or 'akos," equivalent to our English 'son." Most Greek surnames summarize the family history. Phone 4881 FOR YOUR GROCERIES CONFESS 404 NORTH We carry a special line of and cold drinks. Prompt and careful attent MRS. A. J.

BRING US YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A REMARKABLE FAMILY OF ACTORS. In 1753 John Harold, 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. Siddona. The oldest son, John Philip, 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, Adelide, attained considerable popularity as a publio singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. WANTED Farm or Business for job. Not particularly about logging.

Nellie Maxwell Tells of things new and delicious to tempt the Palate When the housewife is busy with the housecleaning or any heavy extra work which occupies her attention, then is the time to use the cheaper meats in long s low cooking which will take care of itself and not need watching. MACHINE On wash day when the top of the stove is covered with the boiler an oven pot roast may be most acceptable. Use a piece from the hip, about five pounds; the bone may be removed and the meat cut in slices Pound into the meat a cupful of flour, a tablespoonful of salt and a half teaspoonful of pepper. Sear the meat in hot fat, add a pint of tomatoes and water to barely cover; cook gently for an hour. Then add a dozen small onions and cook two and a half hours longer and serve surrounded with the onions. The flour will thicken the gravity sufficiently. The bone that was removed may be broken up, covered with cold water and the broth kept for various uses, either a soup or a sauce, or a flavoring for a stew. If one does not wish to use all the meat of the chine or aitch bone, a portion of the meat left on the bone may be cut in bits, a tablespoonful of minced onion added, a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, some bits of fat bacon or suet, a little lemon juice and rind and salt and pepper, make into balls and serve for a supper or a luncheon dish with potatoes. If there is not meat enough to make into balls, season as above and sprinkle it over layers of cooked macaroni and white sauce, then bake for a half hour and serve hot. A butcher remarked the other day. "There is no tough meat, it is simply the manner in which it is cooked which makes meat tough." There is certainly a good deal of truth in the statement, for very tough meat may be made palatable by the right treatment. Add a tablespoonful of vinegar to the meat if a stew. Soak it in olive oil and vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of each, if it is a steak. It is far better to stew tough steak than to try to broil it for tough meat should be softened by slow cooking. Slow cooking means keeping the temperature even below the simmering point. FOODS FOR THE BABY. Orange juice is a most wholesome drink to give even very young babies. Strain the juice and give a teaspoonful not just after or before the milk feeding. Small babies need cool water to drink; their milk is a food, not a drink, and a freetiful baby is often crying for a drink. ```markdown ``` Oatmeal Water.—Blend one tablespoonful of oatmeal with a tablespoonful of cold water. Add a dash of salt and stir into a quart of boiling water. Boil three hours, adding water as it boils away. Strain through a fine sieve. A baby six months old may be fed oatmeal or barley water or it may be used in preparing its food if fed from the bottle. Barley water corrects looseness of the bowels and the oatmeal the tendency toward constipation. Barley Water.—Take two tablespoonfuls of barley, one quart of water, boil continuously for six hours, adding enough water to keep a quart. Strain through a mussin. Soak the barley before putting it to cook. Oatmeal Gruel.—To three capfuls of boiling water add a half cupful of oatmeal, and a half teaspoonful of salt. Cook five hours in a double boiler. Dilute with hot milk and strain. Arrowroot Gruel.—This is a valuable food in diarrhea. Mix two tablespoonfuls of arrowroot, one teaspoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt with two tablespoonfuls of cold water. Add a cupful of boiling water, stirring constantly. Cook for 20 minutes, then add two cupfuls of scalding milk, and bring once more to the boiling point. Strain. Toast Water.—Take sufficient toast when broken in bits to measure two cupfuls. Add to this one pint of boiling water and let stand an hour. Strain through a cheese cloth. Serve hot or cold. Plain Bread Pudding--Scald a cupful of milk. To a beaten egg, add one tablespoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Pour on this the scalding milk. Add one cupful of bread cut in half-twin cubes. Bake in a buttered baking dish in a moderate oven until the custard is set. Serve with cream.

In this country, at that time, there were not the facilities to buy lovely materials, to fashion fabrics with infinite skill, to procure wonderful laces, and mold together the various component parts of a cumptuous gown; but, today, there is no trouble on that score. Therefore if the French designers wish to bring back the fashions of Du Barry, of Marie Antoinette, of Pompadour, there is not any valid reason to suppose that America will not be able to follow quite successfully. There has been quite a little gossip anent this projected return to the styles that were made famous by Rose Bertin, the court dressmaker, who materially assisted Marie Antoinette to bring the monarchy to disgrace in the matter of extravagance, but few actually know what these styles are. The designers have taken the portraits of Mme. Vigee le Brun, the court painter, for models of many of the newest frocks, and others have gone further back to the portraits that hang at Versailles of ladies who antedated the beautiful Austrian. The panels of Fragonard that have lately been under so much discussion in America, having been bought from the Morgan collection for Mr. Frick's new Fifth avenue home, have offered admirable examples of eighteenth century clothes to those designers who delight in the evanescent style of dressing. There is as much skill in artistic adaptation as in original creations, and, depend upon it, if the Bourbon days are repeated in fashion and fabric they will not be as they once were. Enough changes will be made to let the clothes fit into our present scheme of life. But—back to Bourbon fashions. They consist of flowing skirts usually looped over a full petticoat of lace ruffles, to tight bodices with a deep square decoletage in front, elbow sleeves ending in voluminous lace flouces, a tiny band of colored velvet ribbon high on the neck with a minute bow at the side, a flickering of many bows here and there, usually of pale blue or pink velvet. There are also festoons of blush roses, small and large rosettes and waving feathers or airgrettes in the hair. The fabrics are superbly woven, not with the glory and beauty of those of the days of Beatrice D'Este of Italy, when da Vinci was painting at the court; but more flowerlike, more suitable to those ladies who made a cult of laughing and loving and playing with the artifices of life while they knew the sword of disaster hung near A Afternoon Gown of White Net With Blue Satin Bodice, to their powdered tresses. They were not cowards, those women, but life had placed them in an iron cage and they could only prance and grimace as do the captured beauties of the jungle. So they apotheosized the only qualities that were left to them. It seems, today, as if it were impossible to replace those fashions in our day of stress and sterner life, but we may take all that is captivating from them and adapt it to ourselves and our environment. There are thousands who are eagerly awaiting the TIMELY TIPS. When cooking tomatoes to serve at a vegetable add a quarter of a bay leaf and a slice of onion with two cloves. Whole peppercorns are better for seasoning soups and sauces; they may then be strained out or removed. Chopped preserved ginger added to a little sugar sirup and a table Whole peppercorns are better for seasoning soups and sauces; they may then be strained out or removed. Chopped preserved ginger added to a little sugar sirup and a table spoonful poured over a dish of ice cream makes an elegant dessert. When milk or soup boils over sprinkle the spot with salt at once, it will prevent the odor filling the house. When travelling with bottles of toilet preparations, put a strip of adhesive plaster over the cork to insure safe carrying. Old, loose kid gloves worn when ironing or sweeping will save the hands wonderfully. Bananas which are not quite ripe may be made most palatable by baking them in their skins. Lard is much better to grease all gem and cake pans than butter. The casein in the butter scorches easily. A cloth dipped into hot water and then into bran used to clean white paint works like a charm. Add a small quantity of carbolic acid to paste, mucilage or ink; this prevents mold forming. Vinegar added in small quantities to a beef stew will soften the fiber and make the meat tender. A few drops of vinegar on the hands will keep them soft and free from chapping. Rice with soapsuds will clean bottles and small vases. Shake the rice and suds often and the stains will disappear. Sauce for Fish.—Cook a small onion in two tablespoons of butter until golden brown, add a grating of not meg, a pinch of ground ginger and cloves, salt and pepper and six tomaa tites peeled and cut fine. Cook all to gether until smooth. A deed undone seems a little thing. But the burden I might have shared Has left a heart with a bitter sting. Of the thought that "nobody cared." —Edith V. Bradt.

HARRIS. to have at least one gold filled tooth where it could be seen when one smiled. Critics are now complaining that the smile of the American girl is "too golden." That is, she displays too much gold every time she opens her mouth. The late Richard Mansfield, when asked what he considered one of the chief qualifications which would admit a girl into the charmed circle of the footlights, said "sound teeth without gold filling." The golden smile is not half so attractive as the one purely pearly. One of the most prominent dentists in America, appreciating this fact, has issued a few "don'ts." To follow these religiously will help to save many a tooth and prevent the necessity of having them doctored up with patches of gold. Don't, if you value your teeth, bite cotton thread. Don't, if your teeth are sound, bite your finger nails. Don't unless you wish to injure your teeth, put hairpins in your mouth. Don't think that a patch of gold in the mouth is more dazzling than a set of teeth which are so sound that they look like pearls. Screen for Cakes and Muffins Screen for Cakes and Warmers Do you serve tea or other afternoon or evening refreshments on the lawn or the porch? If you do, you have without doubt been troubled because flies have as natural and as persistent a liking for buttered muffins and appetizing sandwiches and sweet-frosted cakes as have humans. It is almost impossible to keep flies from gathering about a tea table or tray. Next best to keep them from gathering comes keeping them from nibbling. One of the lace covers for the plate of sandwiches, muffins or sweets does this. These covers are bits of filet lace mounted on wire frames to stand over the plates. In imitation lace they cost $1.75 and in real lace a good deal more. Any woman who knows how to make filet lace could, of course, make the lace for one of these covers and have it mounted. The most convenient veils are those with an elastic run through the upper edge. The large veil may be adjusted in the twinkling of an eye, and its lower edge will fall with perfect grace over the shoulders. Some of the new veils in filadora and hexagon weave fall in deep points at the edge, the longest point coming in front. These veils are exceedingly graceful and add inexpressible style to a simple costume. Point d'esprit is used to good effect in some of the afternoon frocks of the summer.

The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee and tea did for him: "My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way: "I had an attack of pneumonia, which left me with dyspepsia, or neuralgia of the stomach. My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, after a time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum a trial. "Next day it came, and we liked it so much that we will never change back; for I am a well man today and have used no medicine. "My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co's branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee drinking days I was subject to nervousness and the 'blues' in addition to my sick spells. These have left me since I began using Postum and I can conscientiously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion."

Until recently the Mammoth Bronze turkey was in a class by itself, and was known as the king of domestic birds, but by scientific breeding the White Holland variety has become a close rival of the old favorite and promises to gain in popularity over the Bronze within a very few years, says an Illinois writer in Farmer's Review. There was a time when I read advertisements which described the White Holland turkey as "the kind that stays at home." I could scarcely believe that it was in accordance with a turkey's nature, whatever breed they chanced to be, to "stay at home. Personal experience has proved that the White Holland will not wander as do the Bronze and Bourbon Red, the only other varieties of the turkey family with which I am acquainted. In the laying season White Holland hens are content to nest in any building about the place, in straw sheds or nearby shocks of corn and do not resent being disturbed. When the poults are very young it is not necessary to keep the turkey-ben penned up more than a week, for she will go only a few yards from the coop, as she seems to realize the helplessness of her flock. Later, as the turkys grow larger and stronger, the mother hens pick their way slowly through an adjoining meadow or field for a few hours each day, always coming home early in the afternoon. At no time during the summer or fall do they go any distance from homa. Pair of White Holland Turkeys. and they make a practice of coming back within a short time. White Holland bear confinement well, and are there!'re the ideal turkey for the breeder with limited space. The purebred specimen is a remarkably beautiful bird, being as large as the Bronze, and of snow-white plumage. The feathers, excepting those of wing and tail, are as soft as cotton and very abundant. Breeders who cull their flocks, dry pick the birds which are sold dressed, and use the feathers instead of those of geese and ducks. RHODE ISLAND WHITE BREED They Are Equal of Any as Table Fowl, Being of Size Which Suits the Average Housewife. (By M. E. BEMIS, Phoenix, Ariz.) The advice to go slow on new breeds is unquestionably good. To try each new breed that is heralded is to invite disaster. There is an old adage which applies as well to poultry as to styles in hats. "Be not the first to try the new nor yet the last to lay the old aside." In the matter of choosing a new breed of poultry, one should have some good reason, and if perchance your inclination causes you to fancy one of the new or newer breeds, there should be no reason for discarding this variety just because it is new. All varieties were new once. Of the new breeds which are likely to make good, the Rhode Island White has many qualities which should attract the breeder who is looking for a fowl which will lay and pay. The Rhode Island White has been bred now for more than ten years. The bird is the same size and type as the Rhode Island Red, the only difference being the color, which is, of course, of pure white. The breed originated from a cross of the Cochin with a Wyandotte, this cross mated to a Cochin, and the resulting birds mated with a Rose Comb White Leghorn. It seems that pretty nearly all the good qualities of each have been combined in this breed. As a table fowl they are the equal of any and, being of a size which seems to suit the average housewife, they fill the bill better than a larger or a smaller bird would. Ration for Sitting Hens. Whole corn is the best ration for sitting hens. Give them all they will eat of it once a day. Don't feed the sitters with the rest of the flock. They should have some grass, also clean, fresh water to drink, some grit and charcoal. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Course of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago) LESSON FOR JUNE 6 NATHAN REBUKES DAVID. LESSON TEXT -II Samuel 11:22-12:7a GOLDEN TEXT—Create in me a clean heart O God—Psalm 51:10. This is a lesson that demands great care in its presentation and treatment, which will differ widely according to age. For the younger the briefest sort of statement that David fell in love with Uriah's wife and to obtain her had her husband killed will be sufficient. With such, throw the emphasis upon the danger of harboring evil thoughts and the need of heart purity (see Golden Text). With adults, however, some time may be devoted to the social evil which is such a menace to every nation, care being taken lest the discussion become morbid, or that we neglect to emphasize the fact that the cure is not in regulation or reformation but in the regeneration of the human heart. 1. David's Many Good Deeds, II Samuel, 7 and 9. As a background for his most repulsive sin David had a long list of excellent deeds. His desire for a better abiding place for the ark was not according to God's will for two reasons: first, that an ornate house might easily corrupt, through idolatry, the spirituality of the Hebrew religion; second, David was a man of war and therefore not qualified for temple building. Though denied, David did not despair, but at once provided that his successor carry out his desire. II. David's One Great Sin, II Samuel, 11:6. David's victories over his enemies are dismissed in a few verses, yet his sin is set forth in detail—another evidence of the divine origin and inspiration of the Bible. David had followed the example of neighboring kings and taken to himself many wives, evidently regarding his fancy as supreme and himself as above the law. David was "off guard" in the matter of temptation, a dangerous position for all, both soldier and civilian. David had had too long and too great a period of success and prosperity after his long period of privation, and this led to carelessness and pride. David was "off duty," indulging in ease while Joab did his fighting. As a result he became an adulterer and a murderer, and the record in no way seeks to palliate his guilt. From all this the record brings to us many important lessons. Outwardly prosperous and his army successful. David must have felt in his heart the spiritual blight in the words, "but the thing was evil in the eyes of the Lord" (v. 27 R. V.); no psalm writing then. III. Nathan's Parable, II. Samuel, 12:1-7. It is an evidence of God's grace that he sent his servant to rebuke and restore this "man after his own heart." Such is his mercy, for he does not will that any should perish but that all might come to the knowledge of forgiveness (Ezekiel 33:11; Matthew 23:37). No parable ever had its desired effect more quickly than this one. It brought conviction and repentance (v. 13) and led to the writing of the fifty-first psalm. It was a delicate task set before Nathan thus to rebuke the king, yet it reveals the essential nobleness of David in that he did not become angry. Nathan's task and his wisdom are revealed in his approach and in the way he led David to condemn, unwittingly, his own course of action. This was better than to begin by upbraiding and denunciation. Verse two suggests, inferentially, God's great goodness to David, which made the offense one of gross ingratitude. IV. Thou Art the Man"—v. 7a. Thus far the story is one all too common, then and now, of the strong crushing the weak and glorying in their selfishness. What follows is the evidence of God's response to man's repentance, the parallel to which has nowhere else been found in this ancient world. The glory of it is that David heard and heeded God's messenger. The whole sordid story with its resultant action on David's part brings us many priceless lessons. (1) That man who had lived a life of faith and communion fell most miserably when he neglected his duty and took his eyes off God. There is a grave danger ahead of the man who begins to trifle with sin (I Cor. 10:12). (2) Though a man fall (the godly man) yet he is not utterly cast down. There is pardon for the vilest sinner and the most abject backalder. David's murderous hands and sin-stained soul found pardon (Ps. 32 and 51). (3) A man's sins, though he may find pardon, will cloud all of his future. David felt it in his own life and fami- vity; both daughter and sons felt its blight (see chapter 13), and it brought forth David's immortal lament over Absalom. David's trusted friend joined the son's rebellion and caused David great sorrow (see 11:3; 23:34; 15:21 and Ps. 55:12-34). A human book would cover up, omit or seek to palliate such an act by one of the great of the earth (cf. the story of Napoleon and Josephine), yet the Bible tells all the facts to serve as a warning and to reveal God's matchless grace and mercy. THE TULSA STAR EXCELLENT FARMING CONDITIONS IN CANADA EXCELLENT FARMING CONDITIONS IN CANADA Letters from Settlers Indicating Growing Prosperity. The present year will add another proof that farming in Western Canada, when carried on with the same energy and system devoted to other lines of business, will bring about results fully as satisfactory. Mixed farming as a tocsin has been sounded for a number of years, and today it is being adopted pretty generally throughout the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There are those who have made no greater success of it than they did when they pursued grain growing alone, but where one has failed to accomplish what he had hoped to do, dozens have scored success. From Sedgewick, Alberta, we hear of E. L. Deputy, for past twelve years manager for Frye & Sons, packers, Seattle, who during 1914 were the largest buyers of hogs on Alberta markets. He is taking up active work on his 1,200-acre farm near Sedgewick. Although he was one of the highest paid salaried officials on the Pacific Coast, his frequent visits and personal knowledge of farming conditions in Western Canada convinced him there are greater opportunities in farming Alberta land than in commercial life, with greater assurance of ultimate independence and prospects of home-making under the most desirable conditions. Thomas McKay, a farmer near Hardisty, Alberta, has this to say about the country: "I came to Hardisty from Osage City, Kansas, nine years ago and took up a homestead here. This is a good district for the farmer who wishes to raise grain exclusively, and as a mixed farming country it cannot be beaten anywhere in the world to my knowledge. "I had ten cattle, which ranged outside all last winter, and this spring they were fat enough for the market, this without being fed but one night during the entire winter; they were fine fat cattle and looked beautiful. I raised some winter wheat here which weighed sixty-seven and a half pounds to the bushel, government weight, and which I shipped to Calgary. The miller who bought it said that it was the best wheat that has ever gone into Calgary. Wheat in this district yields as high as forty bushels to the acre, oats average sixty bushels. Alfalfa does well here "All in all I think the farmers are very well satisfied with the country, and the farmer who farms his land intelligently is sure to make a success. The climate here is the best I have ever lived in, the summers are delightful and the winters are mild. There has never been a blizzard during the nine years I have lived here nor any cyclones or wind storms." A settler in the neighborhood of Gleichen, Alberta, spent $2,000 in improving his quarter section, has 125 acres ready for crop, keeps 70 head of stock, believes in mixed farming, keeps two hired men, one all year, the other in summer only. He milks 12 to 18 cows, and receives an average monthly cream cheque of $110. Last June he sold $1,200 worth of hogs and in November two more carloads, besides supplying his own requirements, and is not only making money but building up a good home amid desirable surroundings. This is an example of the possibilities open to the industrious in the Gleichen district. It is stated in the last three months $38,000,000 of American capital has been invested in Canada, showing that United States financial men are satisfied of the solidity of Canadian institutions. Western Canada has been a heavy borrower and Western Canada's great resource is agriculture. U.S. financiers must be convinced that agriculture in Western Canada is sure and profitable or they would not be ready to invest so many millions in the country.—Advertisement. Boston's Advantage.

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS The One Thing for Which Mankind May Be Said to Have a Univer- We cannot pick and choose the happenings of life any more than we can select the circumstances of our birth and death; we are but creatures of a wonderful destiny directed by the Almighty. It is said that many tragedies of life might be averted if we "took our medicine like men" and did not put our personal happiness above everything else. It is as natural and to be expected to long for happiness and cling to it as for the flowers to turn to the sun. Happiness is the great lamp of life which lights our way through all sorts of shadows—shadows that blur the vision and make long nights of our days, shadows that terrify by their grotesque shapes and threatening aspects, and shadows that bury in their depths much that we hold most dear. We are jalous of our happiness and guard it as the most precious thing in life and when we watch it go down the long aisles of memory further and further away from our yearning eyes we begin to plead for it, and strive for it, and fight for it. We batter the walks of the past in our vain efforts to call it back before it is too late, and spend long days and waste precious strength in the futile endeavor to clutch it back to our hearts. And all the while, perhaps right at our hands within easy reach, happiness in a new guise stands ready—Charleston News and Courier. Chocolate Soldiers. the soldier's weakness for sweetmeats, to which Mr. Bernard Shaw called attention when he wrote "The Chocolate Soldier," has been abundantly confirmed during the present war. The quantity of sweets consumed by our army in France has been prodigious, while from Cairo comes the news that the Australians have absolutely eaten the place out of chocolate. On the 'troopships which brought them, too, it was the same. Thus Capt. Bean, the official correspondent with the force, writes: "Our canteen had five times the demand for sweets and soft drinks that was expected and one-fifth the demand for beer."—Westminster Gazette More Words Followed.

"No, you don't, my dear," replied Mr. Prebscomb mildly, "but that may be due to the fact that I have never had sufficient courage to ask you where you have been."

Britons have the sweetest tooth, and Americans come next, if the statistics for consumption of sugar mean anything. An Englishman eats annually 92.4 pounds, an American consumes 79.2 pounds. In Denmark the average consumption is 72.6 pounds per capita; in Switzerland it is 55 pounds; in Germany, Holland, Sweden and Norway it is from 39 to 44 pounds; in France, 35 pounds; in Belgium, 33; in Austria, 24.2; in Russia, 19.8; in Portugal, 15.4; in Spain and Turkey, 11; in Italy, Hulgaria, Roumania and Serbia, from 6 to 7 pounds. The principal reason for these variations is found in the relative highness or lowness of the customs duties on sugar and on the things with which it is commonly associated—coffee, tea, etc. A Vegetable Raiser Bacon—It is estimated that 93 per cent of the ocean floor is entirely devoid of vegetation.

DRIVER WAS BUSINESS MAN Saw More Profit in Hauling Stranded Automobilist Than in Selling Him Gasoline. Mack Sennett was going to the San Diego fair in his car. About three o'clock in the morning, and twenty miles from nowhere, Mack found that his supply of gasoline had given out. There was nothing to do but sit by the side of the road and wait for something to come along, which Mack proceeded to do. He had waited but a few minutes when he heard the sound of wheels on the road and soon a wagon was distinguishable in the dark. "There's a ten spot in it if you haul me to town," hailed Mack. The driver readily consented and Mack settled down for a three-hour ride. They were drawing into a little burg when Mack remarked that it was rather early for the driver to be on the road. "Yes," he replied, "but I have to start early to get around to all my customers." And as Mack handed him the ten spot for his work, the man continued: "You see, I peddle gasoline to the stores in the small towns around here."—Photoplay Magazine.

Y.—While a maid was exercising a Pomeranian dog on the roof of Miramonte, the residence here of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wuppermann, a big, gray eagle swooped down on the little dog and grabbed it up and started away with a great flapping of wings. The girl screamed, and the eagle, apparently startled, dropped the dog, which fell to the lawn. The dog's leg was broken, and it was carried in the Wuppermann automobile to the Ardsley kennels, where it is being treated. After it dropped its prey the eagle flew toward the Paladines. Miramonte is the home of Frank P. Wuppermann, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wuppermann.' He married Miss Alma Muller, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Muller of Monticello, N. Y., secretly, last March. His bride left him to study art abroad, and doubly surprised her friends, when they first learned of her wedding, by announcing that she had ceased to love her husband and did not want to be bound to him. Stole Shoes Off His Feet. Dalton, Ga.,—Bob Stinson, a resident of North Dalton, has received a visit form the person who stole candy from a baby and swapped a plugged quarter for change from a blind man's hat. This "real mean" man came upon Mr. Stinson asleep in a grove in the northern part of the city and stole the shoes off his feet. He awoke to find his feet chilled and himself with a violent cold. He had to walk home barefoot.

What is a Violet? A upper customs ruling relates is that the animal, the mule. An American contractor took some mules into who for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a hen is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mired. $50.00 PER MONTH, MADE DURING the High Brown Maternity TIME.

Caracas importers received information by cable from Spain to the effect that the Spanish government has prohibited the exportation of olive oil and sardines. In view of the fact that Venezuela consumes large quantities of both these products and has been buying a substantial proportion of each from Spain, it is possible that a market might be found for American cottonseed oil (a very little cottonseed oil is manufactured in Venezuela) and also for canned salmon. The import duty per pound, including all surtaxes, on olive oil is 3.43 cents; on imitation olive oil, 17.13 cents; on cottonseed oil, 10.28 cents; on sardines, 1.37 cents; and on canned salmon, 3.43 cents—American Minister Preston McGoodwin, Caracas. Regulations for Danish Millers. Under a decree just promulgated by the minister of the interior, Danish millers must extract 64 per cent of the contents of the grain when handling rye and 68 per cent when grinding wheat, or respective recoveries of 141 and 150 pounds of flour from each 220 pounds of grain milled. All millers in the kingdom are required to make a statement of their operations every fourteen days in order that the authorities may keep in touch with the situation. Each sack of rye flour or of mixed rye and wheat flour that leaves a mill must be so marked as to indicate the amount of home-grown grain used in its manufacture and the quantity of foreign rye or wheat employed.
