GREENWOOD TULSA, OKLAHOMA. --- More Than Score of Colored Dead, and Many Injured Death More Than Score Dead, an The explosion of a rairoad gasoline tank at Ardmore late Monday afternoon completely wrecked the town and killed more than fifty people and wounded hundreds of others. Every building within two blocks of the fatal car was demolished and it is said many bodies are still pinned under the debris. The accident was caused by a leaking gasoline tank. Workmen were busy repairing the leak when a spark from a hammer ignited the escaping fumes resulting in the terrible explosion. Flames of fire shot out in all directions and in a little while the entire business district was a mass of smoke and ruins.... Women and children were caught under the falling walls like rats and perished. Pitiful scenes were enacted. Men, women and children wept, and the cries were mingled with the moans and groans of the dying and wounded. The Santa Fe depot was completely destroyed by fire after the shock of he explosion had demolished it. More than 20 Colored people, according to newspaper reports, were killed by the explosion and many others wounded. It is estimated that about half the causualties were Colored. Bulletin. Ardmore, Sept. 28.—The death list tonight was increased to forty-seven by the death of Otto McClung, fifteen years old, of Ardmore, a messenger boy, and the finding of the bodies of two negroes, neither of which could be identified. Ardmore, Sept. 29.—Proceedings to fix the responsibility for the disaster of yesterday in which a tank car explosion caused the death of forty-seven persons, injuries to more than a hundred others and fire loss of probably five hundred thousand dollars, were started today by the municipal authorities who charge Santa Fe railroad officials with criminal negligence. This was the announcement tonight of Ruesell Brown, city attorney of Ardmore. The death list tonight stood at forty-four, according to the statement from police headquarters. Early of ficial statements had placed the number of victims at fifty-five. The discrepancy was explained tonight by the fact that several persons previously reported dead were found either in hospitals or in their homes alive, after a close police check with the physicians of the city and hospitals. Henshaw Investigates The announcement as to contemplated charges against the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe railway came as a result of an almost continuous all-day session of the Ardmore city commission which has sought since yesterday's disaster to place blame for the catastrophe. The city attorney said tonight that the Santa Fe officials would be charged with failure on the part of the railroad company to comply with the regulations of the interstate commission respecting the loading and handling of gasoline. Oklahoma State Corporation Commissioner George A. Henshaw has been in the city most of today in conference with local authorities. Henshaw would not comment on the case. When the proposed proceedings are filed, it is understood they will be made through the Oklahoma Corporation commission's office to the federal government. Pay For The Star School S 115 Page's Followers Circulate Petitions PETITION GOV. WILLIAMS TO REINSTATE PROF. PAGE More Than 00 Names to Petition Forwarded Today By Negroes of County. Negro residents of North Logan and the county generality, are up in arms over the vindicative fight made on President I. E. Page, former president of the Langston university, and have petitioned Gov. Williams to reinstate Page. Said a prominent North Logan Negro farmer today: "We have just completed a partial canvas of the Negro parents of Logan county and find that more than 90 per cent are with Prof. Page. Today a petition containing more than 500 bona fide signatures of Colored citizens interested in schools of the county, was forwarded personally to Governor R. L. Williams. We are quite confident that when Governor Williams is given the real facts and the reasons that led up to the outrageous charges made against Mr. Page that he will do as he generally does, and that is give the wronged man a square deal." Many letters have also been sent to Gov. Williams in behalf of Prof. Page. The letters come from white persons as well as the colored patrons of the school. All ask that Prof. Page be reinstated as president of the A. & N. University—Guthrie Leader. Judging from the above article the people of Logan county who signed the petition have evidently assumed to represent the people at large of Oklahoma. Surely they have not forgotten that the Langston University is a State school and for that reason cannot be dominated by any single community in the state. A Colored Firm Builds Autos A Colored Firm Builds Autos Famous Firm of Ohio Buggy Makers Now Making Automobiles. If you chance to see a new model automobile with many distinctive features, pleasing in general make-up, and noted for its "easy riding" qualities and upon closer investigation find that it is a "Patterson-Greenfield please remember that it is a car built from the ground up by the C. R. Patterson and Sons firm of Greenfield, Ohio, a Colored firm of buggy makers, known all over the United States Now is the time for the race-loving wealthy people of Oklahoma and other states to show their race pride in dollars and cents. A large number of Colored people in Oklahoma own automobiles and many others are contemplating buying one some time in the future. Surely there is not a Colored man in Oklahoma who would buy any other than a Patterson-Greenfield, when he knows that it is the product of Negro brains. So far as we know the "Patterson-Greenfield" is the only auto on the market which is build exclusively by Negroes.

Who will win in the Morris-Ross boxing contest at the Convention hall tonight? This is the question uppermost in the minds of the sport fans all over the country. Both Morris and Ross have been doing some hard work in their respective training quarters and both are determined to win. The Sapulpa man has about 30 pounds advantage over the Italian, but Ross discounts that, saying his body punches will offset any advantage Morris may have in weight. The bout will doubtless be one of the fastest ever pulled off in Tulsa and the best man is sure to win. Which will it be? THE BRISKEY MAYOR CALLS HAND OF SANDERSON, ET AL. AND INVITES INVESTIGATION. Request: Tax Payers League to Appoint a Committee to Probe Conduct of City Officials. An open session of the Tax Payers League was held in the court house Tuesday night, it was said, for the purpose of discussing the merits of the proposed bonds for civic improvements, but the meeting proved to be 'n fact an inquisition body called together for the express purpose of arraigning the city administration for extravagance, imaginary or otherwise. After taking up an hour or more reading and passing by laws, the fireworks were set off by G. D. Pierce, who read a report showing the bonded indebtedness of the city and showing in items the annual cost for operating the city government, etc. He also accused the city officials of taking money from the sinking fund to replenish deficiencies in other departments. As soon as he was through, Mayor Wooden, who was sitting close by, arose and asked for the privilege of addressing the meeting. This was readily granted. The mayor has often said that he is not a speech-maker but those who heard him Tuesday night will agree that he at least has a very foreable way of expressing himself, and in a pleasing manner that leaves no doubt as to his meaning. The mayor answered Mr. Pierce in a brief, firm and concise manner, showing that the latter was very much "balled up" in his report, saying that not one man had been taken out of the sinking fund to replenish any department and that it could not be done. Referring to the bonded indebtedness the Mayor said he had not favored all of the bond issues, some of the bond issues he said, which members of the Tax Payers League had worked for, he had not supported, but they were carried. "And as long as you people vote the bonds and I am mayor, I am going to levy on you", said the mayor, and he evidently meant what he said. Mayor Wooden briefly reviewed the history of Tulsa and her officials and his own official life as commissioner and mayor, and it must be admitted that he acquitted himself with credit. Explained Finances. The mayor explained the cost of operating the city government for the last fiscal year, was less than $125,000 and that the excess of that amount which was claimed in a circular letter sent out by officers of the tax league as being over $200,000 was to take care of sinking funds for the retirement of bonds voted by the citizens of Tulsa, and he stated that as long as he was mayor of Tulsa he proposed to take care of every legitimate obligate on which the city had assumed. Following the mayor's remarks Charles Sanderson took the floor and began a running fire attack upon the present city administration, laying special stress upon the item of $300 paid each of the local newspapers for publishing facts about the condition of city affairs in connection with its recent bond issues, which the Tax Payers League is preparing to contest. Mayor Wooden said he had no apology to offer for incurring this expense and state that the city paid an and ting firm over $2,500 to audit the city books the year previous, and that not three hundred people in the clay could read and understand the report when it was completed, and that he felt that brief, concise statements, explaining matters so that everybody could understand them, was money spent in a worthy and just cause. Shakig 'Em Down. In the course of his remarks Sanderson read a clipping from a Cincinnati paper, purporting to quote Chief Burps as an argument for a big convention he and others were endeavoring to secure for Tulsa. Mayor Wooden disclaimed any responsibility for the pleasantry which was manifest in the remarks attributed to Burns, but said what he represented wasn't any worse than "shaking down" the bootleggers for funds to carry on the dry farming congress. The audience roared and Sanderson turned and said that any man who said he ever solicited funds from boot- Continued on Page 8 Subscription $1.00 Per Year Muskogee Merchant Fails Muskogee Merchant Fails WAS ONE OF LEADING MERCHANTS OF STATE AND ONE OF THE FOREMOST COLORED MERCHANTS IN THE SOUTHWEST. According to reports circulated here early this week, the J. W. Adams department store of Muskogee has failed and the doors have been closed. If the report is true, it causes a blow to the race not only in Oklahoma but in the entire southwest, as Mr. Adams was without question among the leading merchants of his city, and among the foremost of the race in the southwest.

According to a statement made yesterday by Prof. J. W.

In Mrs. Johnson's room up to the present time 68 children have enrolled and 53 have enrolled in Mrs. Lynch's room. A teacher for the present emergency is imperative and even another may be necessary before Christmas. Judge Martin holds Night Session Judge Martin holds Night Session OFFICERS RAID PREACHER'S BUILDING AND ROUTS GAMBLERS. The gambling house in the Woods building on the corner of Greenwood and Archer was raided by deputy Sheriff Barney Cleaver and Constables Dillard and Webb last Saturday night and three men, Harry Madison, Oliver Douglas and Garfield Myers. The supposed proprietors were arrested and fined $7.50 respectively at a night session of Justice Martin's court. The building is owned by Rev. G. W. Woods, who lives in another part of the same building. Sunday the officers made another round-up and got Chas. Gibson proprietor of the Crystal Cafe and Chas. Harper in Webb building each alleged to have been conducting games. These two were also assessed fines of$ 7.50 each in Justice Martin's court Monday morning. Judge Martin says he intends to go the full limit of the law in gamblers who come before him hereafter.

Ardmore—Nearly fifty bodies have been recovered from the debris created by the explosion here on a 250-barrel tank of gasoline on a siding of the Santa Fe railroad, which occurred twenty minutes after 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Thirteen of the bodies recovered are of white people; thirteen are negroes and the rest of the bodies are so badly charred as to be almost unrecognizable. The list of dead will probably total fifty, and 125 persons are known to have been seriously injured by the explosion or by flying debris. The tank car was near the union depot, which was almost totally destroyed. Property loss along Main street, running both east and west of the Santa Fe railroad tracks, will amount to $500,000. The Ardmore sanitarium is filled with injured people. Martial law has been declared and the city business district is in charge of the police department. Many Negroes Killed. The increase in the death list depends largely upon the number of negroes who were in the pool hall and rooming house east of the railroad track at the time of the explosion and from beneath the debris of which fourteen bodies have been taken. Five bodies were taken from the freight office. Three of the bodies are so badly burned that there is practically nothing left by which they can be identified. Doctors and nurses from cities in Texas have arrived, and every possible attention is being given the injured. The explosion was caused by a spark from a steel hammer which an employee was using while attempting to repair a leak in the oil tank. The greatest loss of life occurred in the negro district east of the tracks where the buildings were not as substantial as the buildings along Main street running west of the tracks. Window lights were broken in every building along Main street. The residence district escaped serious damage and so far no persons in the residence district are known to have been insured. Several Killed at a Distance Several Killed at a Distance. Among the dead are Charles R. Smith, former member of the police force, who was standing on Main street near the explosion and was killed by falling stones. M. E. Atkins, a drayman, was standing on North Washington street, almost three blocks from the explosion. Stones from the Arthur Hall cigar store fell upon him, killing him instantly. A man named A G. Gould, a fruit peddler, was driving across the Santa Fe tracks near the explosion. He was killed outright, his horse was killed and his wagon blown to pieces. An Indian, sitting in his wagon east of the Love hotel, was killed and his team and wagon crushed. The east side of the building fell. The Santa Fe freight station was wrecked and was burned to the ground. The union passenger station St. Louis, Mo.—The Katy railway system has gone into the hands of a receiver. This change affecting a system with an aggregate mileage of more than 3,800, was brought about through independent orders filed in the United States district courts at St. Louis and at Dallas, and was a result of a friendly agreement between certain creditors and the management of the two companies that comprise the Katy system. Charles E. Schaff, president, was named sole receiver of each. is almost a total wreck. From the Santa Fe freight station to the Whittington hotel every building, including the Pennington wholesale grocery house, is wrecked. The east side of the Whittington hotel was wrecked from the top story to the first floor. On the opposite side of the street the wreckage was almost as bad. The Swift Packing Company building was wrecked and burned. The two-story rooming house over the Canton cafe at the corner of Main and Caddo streets, was wrecked, as was also Bob Briggs' restaurant. Shorty Twyford was killed here. A woman was dragged from the ruins; dead negroes were all so taken from the ruins. Ladd & Davidson's wholesale house, east of the railroad was badly wrecked. Mrs. Clara Davidson was completely covered with falling bricks and severely injured. The bookkeeper, Raymond McCoy, who was also in the store was severely injured. Scenes of Horror. The scene beggars description. Almost every family had as many as one member out in town some where and men and women were frantically searching for missing ones. Telephone poles were twisted so great was the force of the explosion. The lights were out Monday night and the city left in darkness. Dewitt's cigar store was wrecked. Forty girls were employed here, but so far none has been reported killed. Tom Gilky was blown down and almost very thread of his clothing blown from him. A two-story building occupied by negroes as a pool hall and rooming house, was wrecked. A negro stated that twenty persons, all colored were pinioned in the place. The Hardyman hotel was demolished. Hundreds Cut Hundreds of people were cut by glass and automobiles hurried here and there at great speed hauling the injured to their homes. Surgeons were busy and will probably be able to meet the demands made upon them. In the Ardmoreite building the glass was blown from the front, doors were wrecked, linotypes were put out of commission and one member of the force was slightly cut with glass. Residences for a half mile around suffered from broken windows. The high school lost almost every window and the roof was damaged. Mack Walker, at the Santa Fe freight office, and Fred Walker, his son, the warehouse foreman, were both seriously injured. Dawson Bros. produce house was wrecked and some of the workmen are missing. As the horror of the gasoline explosion unfolds, it becomes more serious. A badly mutilated body of a man was found and identified by finger ring and by the teeth as that of Ira Woods, who is employed with the Ardmore Refining Company, and who was attempting to stop the leak of the car when the explosion occurred. He leaves a wife and three children who reside here. Another employee of the refinery, Will Graham, a young man of 25 years, was in the Santa Fe freight house when that building was demolished. He was pinioned under the timbers and his brother, who was with him, witnessed his tragic death in the fire that quickly followed the explosion. Nearly every large pane of glass in the chest was wrecked by the explosion. Dumba to be Recalled Washington—Dr. Constantine T. Dumba, Austro-Hungarian ambassador to the United States, will be forerly recalled by his government, according to assurances given American Ambassador Penfield at the Vienna foreign office. Mr Penfield had been instructed to make clear informerly that "leaf of absence" for Doctor Dumba will not satisfy the request of the United States in its formal note asking for the recall of Doctor Dumba. Austria decreed to comply.

WILSON'S DIPLOMACY WINS GERMANY PROMISES TO GO SLOW IN THE FUTURE. Ships Carrying Conditional Contraband Will Not Be Sunk, If Under the American Flag. Washington.—Germany in a note on the case of the ship William P. Frye has given the United States formal assurance that American vessels carrying conditional contraband will under no circumstances be destroyed even though deemed lawful prizes. The right to destroy American merchantmen if carrying absolute contraband is reserved, but the promise is given that this will be done only in case of extreme necessity as provided by the declaration of London. These assurance: together with the acceptance by Germany of the two proposals of the United States—the one to name a joint commission of experts to fix the indemnity for the loss of the Frye and the other to submit to The Hague the disputes which the cases produced over the meaning of the treaty of 1828—produced a favorable effect in official quarters. One thing which attracted attention in connection with the German note was the evident necessity of submarine commanders under their new orders to exercise the right of visit and search with respect to all American vessels to determine the nature of their cargoes. BULGARIA ORDERS MOBILIZATION Riddle of the Balkans Will Soon De Solved. London—A war move that may solve the riddle of the Balkans—Bulgaria's mobilization—has struck London with dramatic suddenness. The consensus of opinion was that although the Bulgarian army is now on the move, Bulgaria has not yet cast her lot with one side of the other but is, as her minister here expressed it, still neutral, still waiting, but armed. The first bulletin announcing Bulgaria's mobilization reached London by way of New York. It was quickly followed by a stream of telegrams from the European capitals to the effect that mobilization, partial or general, had been ordered at Sofia, that the Bulgaric cavalry had taken the field and that Bulgars of fighting age were hurrying home. SALOON MEN ASSESSED $25. PER In Order To Keep Peace With Officials At Indianapolis. Indianapolis—Ten saloon keepers testified in the trial of Mayor Joseph E. Bell, charged with ejection conspiracy that they contributed $25 each to the democratic campaign fund and another witness asserted that he saw the "ballot box stuffed," in one precinct. Two of the saloon men testified that they also contributed to the republican party. The majority of the liquor dealers said they gave their contributions to Hubert S. Riley, a member of the board of works and a codefendant. Counting of the ballots cast in the primary of May, 1914, in some precincts was gone into by the state. In one precinct two members of the primary board testified that Edward Lyons, who was supported by Mayor Bell for the democratic nomination for county treasurer, had more votes gallled than there were ballots counted. Killed In Subway Accident. Killed in Subway Accident. New York—Seven persons were killed and between eighty-five and one hundred were injured when a dynamite blast in a partly constructed section of the Seventh avenue subway caused an entire block of pavement to cave in, engulfing a crowded trolley car, a heavy truck and many pedestrians. A number of laborers in the excavation were buried in tons of debris. Seventy-eight persons, a considerable portion of them being women and girls, on their way to business, were on the surface car. WESTERN FRONT AWAKE AT LAST FRENCH MAKE BIG HOLES IN LINES OF THE TEUTONS. 14.000 AND 8 GUNS TAKEN Determined Onslaught Takes Them Three Miles Into Enemy's Lines Over a Front of About Twenty Miles. London.—The British and French armies have taken several large "nibbles" out of the German lines between Verdun and the Belgian coast, capturing in the process trenches along a front of about twenty miles and just under 14,000 prisoners, eight guns and a number of machine guns. At the same time British warships and French and Belgian batteries heavily bombarded the German positions on the coast between Zeebrugge and Nieuport. Largest Gains Since Battle of Marne. The French, who have the most important gain to their credit, made their chief asset around Perthes, Beausejour and Suippes in Champagne, where in December they made a considerable gain of ground. This last attack, however, backed oy a tremendous artillery fire gave their possession of more territory than they had retaken from the Germans since the latter dug them selves in after the battle of the Marne. According to the French account the Germans were driven out of their trenches over a front of fifteen miles, varying in depth from the thirds of a mile to two and a half miles. The French in this engagement captured 12,000 prisoners. Apparently the advantage is being pressed still further as the French communication makes the briefest mention of the operations. The importance of this gain lies in the fact that every yard of ground taken in this region weakens the German position around Verdun from which the Germans might be compelled to retire should the French succeed in making any further advance. Advances Near Souchez and Arras Advances Near Souchez and Arraes The French also have regained the cemetery of Souchez and treches east of the "labyrinth" in the Arras district, which was the scene of much heavy fighting early in the year. There the Germans had built what they considered almost impregnable fortifications. This attack was made in co-operation with the British, who attacked on either side of Labassee canal. The attack south of the canal was, Field Marshal Sir John French reports, a complete success. Trenches five miles in length and about 4,000 yards in depth were taken at this point. This push forward gives the British possession of the road from Lens to Labassee, which was used by the Germans for moving troops and supplies north and south and threatens to outhank the German troops which hold the town of Lens. DETAILS OF LOAN ARE AGREED ON Amount is Half Billion. To Yield 5½ Per Cent. New York.—The Anglo-French commission and bankers have reached a virtual agreement on the details of the proposed half billion dollar credit loan to Great Britain and France. Following are the details of the loan upon which the commission and the bankers of eastern states are in virtual accord: The amount: Approximately $500,000,000. The securities: Joint Anglo-French notes. The interest rate: Five per cent, to yield the investor about 5½ per cent by the notes being offered at slightly under par. A conversion privilege at maturity of the notes: The holder to receive cash or joint Anglo-French fifteen or twenty year bonds bearing $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ per cent interest. AUSTRIA-HUNGARY STILL OBJECTS Sending Second Note On Munitions Matter. Amsterdam.—The Austro-Hungarian government, according to an official telegram received here from Vienna, has in reply to the American note of August 12, relative to the manufacture of ammunition in the United States, reiterated the position taken in its protest of June 29. The reply affirms that Austro-Hungary never intended to imply that it expected Washington would forbid American citizens to do a normal traffic in war material with the enemies of the dual monarchy, but solely protested against the economic life of the United States being made subservient to the production of war material on the greatest possible scale, whereby the United States became "militarized." The note falls to see a resemblance to German sales to England in the Boer war, which was cited in the American note. Home Undertaking Co. No. 2 Open Day and Night Remember us in your sorrow. H. W.

Buttons will stay on longer if the knot in the thread is put under the button before beginning to sew it on. This is a subject which has been treated at length several times, but one which is so important that it needs to come often before us. The housewife who has a well-stocked emergency shelf may be assured that no sudden inroad of unexpected company will cause her any inconvenience. Here are some of the many things which will be useful, although each housewife will find additions and changes to make, suitable to her needs. First, have a few cans of good soup. This, with some crisp crackers, makes a fine beginning to any hurried meal and may be prepared almost as quickly as it takes to write it. One may add milk or cream to extend the amount of these soups and usually it improves them. On this shelf have a few cans of fish, such as tunny or tuna, salmon and crab or lobster; these may be used in various ways as salads, hot dishes or chowders if so desired. Cutlets, using a can of salmon, adding white sauce, rolling in crumbs and frying in deep fat, will go further than a can of salmon served plain. A box of codfish, jars of pickles, canned corn beef and dried beef, olives, canned fruit, nuts and dates are other helpful furnishings to the shelf. Even lemon pie filling comes canned now to use in an emergency. These foods are expensive for everyday use, but to have some of these things on the shelf even if used but once a year, will prove worth the investment. A few quickly prepared menus should be at hand, so that in the hurry one need only glance at them to choose a good meal. MORE ABOUT EMERGENCY SHELF. There are many quickly prepared cheese dishes, so there should always the emergency shelf. Naturally some of these things will spoil if kept too long, so they may be used and replaced from time to time. The cost of replacing articles will not be great. It is well to remember when buying any kind of canned goods to see that the ends of the cans are flat. If they bulge, reject them for this denotes the presence of gas and they are not fit for food. Never leave any food in a tin can; empty it at once when opened. Pie crust may be prepared all but the water; put in a glass jar and is ready to use on the instant. Even bread, the Boston brown variety, is found in cans and may be a most welcome addition to the shelf. "When one is seven miles from a lemon," the emergency shelf is an absolute life saver. Boiled dressings may be made which will keep for weeks in the cellar or ice chest. In fact many housekeepers always keep a bowl of salad dressing on hand, or one may make a salad out of almost anything. Salted wafers, small cakes, fruit cookies and fruit cake, will keep for weeks if kept from the air, and so one may feel at ease, even though company drops in without warning. Nellie Maxwell Tells of things new and delicious to tempt the Palate If you cannot set to meter all the music of your soul. Then let its heavenly harmony your daily life control. SOME QUICK DESSERTS. Toast crackers and put a spoonful of jelly or jam on each. Whip cream, flavor with vanilla and heap on the jelly. Sprinkle with grated cocoa nut or chopped nuts if whipped cream is not available. I Cracker Shortcake. — Open a can of peaches or any canned fruit, pour off the sirup and boil it up with sugar to make a rich sauce. Butter crackers, place the p-aches on them, sprinkle with sugar and put another cracker on top. Put into the oven long enough to heat through and serve with hot fruit sauce. Jelly Pancakes.—Make a batter of a cupful of milk, a cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder and a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt. Beat an egg, add the milk and flour, beating well, fry on a hot greased griddle. Spread with jelly, roll up and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Raspberry Trifle.—Line a glass dish with thin slices of sponge cake. Pour over it raspberry juice to soften it, then lay over it a layer of whole berries. On this place another layer of cake and another layer of raspberries. Pour over all whipped sweetened cream. Banana Dessert. — Slice bananas and sprinkle them with powdered sugar, chopped nut meats and the juice of half a lemon. Surround with seeded raisins and serve with cream. A few cooked prunes stirred into sweetened and flavored whipped cream and served on squares or strips of cake makes a most tasty dessert. Any kind of fruit may be served in the same way, pineapple is especially good. Cooked rice served with a hard sauce, flavored with crushed, fresh fruit, is another good dessert. Marmalade, cream cheese, dates figs and nuts in combination may be used for sweet sandwich filling. Maple sugar with chopped salted almonds is one that is always liked. Molten the sugar with thick cream then add the chopped nuts. The browned almonds make a most appetizing flavor with the maple sugar. As ships meet at sea, a moment together, when words of greeting must be spoken, and then away into the deep, so men meet in this world; and I think we should cross no man's path without bailing him, and, if he needs, giving him supplies.-Henry Ward Beecher. HELPFUL HINTS. To tell a cooked egg from a fresh one, should they get mixed on the egg from a fresh get mixed on the shelf, twirl the egg on a smooth surface. The cooked egg will spin, the raw will not. A jug and a glass VINE A roll of surgeon's plaster will be found most useful for many things other than its authorized purpose. When making frosting use instead of fresh water that which has been colored by cooked beets. Mix this with powdered sugar and you have a wholesome pink frosting. When cooking milk, to keep it from burning, put a few spoonfuls of water in the dish and when boiling add the milk. Apples are one of the most wholesome of fruits and should be given freely to children, especially in the winter. Cranberries are said to stimulate the liver. For the overtired housewife a most restful attitude is to lie on the back with the feet elevated on a couple of pillows or cushions. Ten minutes in this position will effect a wonderful rest. A splendid idea to keep stockings mated, especially in a large family, is to place good-sized patent fasteners on the top hem of the stockings, then when the hose are taken off they are snapped together, may be so washed, and will return still united. Never throw away old quilts, as they make the best kind of padding for a stair carpet. When sweater sleeves become thin at the elbow, cut them out of the arm hole and exchange them, putting the left sleeve into the right arm hole. This change brings the worn part on the front of the sleeve. R LADIES OF FA A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of J Lati N Friends of the Tuls PROBLEM OF THE SKIRT SAUSES MOST CONCERN AMONG WOMEN PLANNING CLOTHES. Designers Are Making Struggle for Less Full Skirts—Waist Line to Be Smaller in the New The designers say that there will be struggle for less full skirts before the winter is well advanced. That is drop of poison in the present cup of happiness. Women have shown enthusiasm and gratitude for the retention of the full skirt; they are glad that there is some chance of using the suits of last spring. If the designers win out in an effort to bring back narrow skirts before the new year, then women will find themselves cmpelled to buy new clothes or go in for the process of alteration, if they would be in the fashion. What About the New Skirts? Each of the women who are regarding the prospect of buying new clothes for the autumn is far more concerned with the skirt than with any other part of the costume, unless it be the high-crowned hat, which is really a nerve-racking knot for the woman with a long face to unravel. The truth concerning skirts is that so many varieties are offered, no wom an need actually worry. Even the full tunic is admitted. True, the skirt beneath the tunic is not as narrow as it was last November, when Jenny and Callot flooded the country with skirts that had a narrow line about the ankles, but a sharp contrast is still made between the tunic and the lower skirt. Both are cut circular and each is fitted at the hips, for the umbrella shape rules on a majority of the gowns. When this wide circular cut is thoroughly understood and well managed, it is far prettier than the skirt which is full at the waist and narrow at the ankles. Waist Line Is Smaller. This season such fullness at the waist line will be eliminated to a large extent, which is good news to all but the emaciated women. The cut of skirt which is widely adopted and dominates the field of clothes is what was once known as the umbrella skirt. There is no better name for it. It fits the waist, is smoothed out over the hips, falls limply around the ankles, its fullness folding up on itself, and with a hem sometimes irregular and sometimes even. There is no struggle to keep the fullness from falling in front of the knees; for that idea of squaring off the front of the gown and putting the fullness at the side is evidently put back on the shelves with last year's fashions. It was never attractive, but it was tolerated and accepted because it was one of the ways out of a serious sartorial disaster. (Copyright by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

A pretty style for an apron that is quickly made requires a piece of linen or organdie about eighteen or twenty inches square, according to the desired size. This is hemmed all around and edged with lace or a buttonhole scalloping'. The four corners are decorated with insets of lace, worked in embroidery or in any way the decorator pleases. A casing is set across one of the points for taking a ribbon, which when drawn up and tied around the waist creates a bib. --- The flush of youth soon passes from the face.

FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions Ulsa Star IRT STOCKING CASE IS NOVELTY Girl Who Is Careless About Her Foot- wear Will Find This a Great Convenience We have had handkerchief cases, glove cases, veil cases and comb and brush cases, but a stocking case is a novelty. The girl who is careless about putting away her stockings, and who consequently never knows where to find a certain pair, but fishes about among a bundle of stockings until she finds what she wants, should try the stocking case scheme. The case may be made of any preferred material, as finen, silk, sateen with an outer covering of something sheer, as voile, scrim or dotted Swiss, the decoration being to suit one's fancy. To make a case holding a dozen pairs of stockings one needs a strip about nine inches and over a yard long. At one end the strip is turned up to form a pocket, and at the other it is cut into a pointed flap. I A Stocking Case. A second strip about five inches wide and the length of the wider one minus the pocket is bound with ribbon or tape or one long side. The opposite edge is laid even with the wider strip and basted there. Next the double strips are divided into 12 pockets just as one would make a shoe bag. Then all edges of the case are bound with the selected bindings. The larger pocket is to hold the stockings that need darning, while the smaller ones take one pair each rolled up smoothly ready to put on. As it is difficult to keep stockings in pairs when they are all one color, it is a good plan to sew one of the little dress snappers at the top of each stocking. When sending to the laundry a pair of stockings can be clasped together and orders given to wash them so joined. Then one can tell just how well or how badly stockings wear and can buy the brand that gives the better satisfaction. When the case is rolled up it can be pushed into a corner of a bureau drawer, and will be found a much neater arrangement than the loose stocking drawer. HINTS ABOUT AUTUMN DRESS Fruits and Flowers in Cutout Motifs Among Garnitures for Frock and Hat. Exotic fruits and flowers in cutout motifs with petals and rims defined by beads, are among the garnitures for both frocks and hats. In some instances this trimming is of taffeta and satin, but it is likely that we shall see a good deal of it reproduced in velvet as the winter season approaches. Fur is being used in a number of unusual ways to form floral petals or define lace motifs. Every effort is being made, apparently, to gain unique effects and to give to even the most commonplace garment or hat a touch of the bizarre that links it with the newest creations. All the new shades are represented with special attention paid to white and black. Metallic tissues have not been neglected, especially in gold and silver effects. Shirrings Give Fullness Plaits or shirrings to give fullness at the hips is one of the styles that is taking well. In a new coat model a plaited panel is set in over each hip, extending to the bottom of the coat and the top is covered by the belt at the waist line. The same idea of side fullness is carried out in a skirt model. The yoke of the skirt is round and the lower section is cut on circular lines and put on the yoke evenly, except for six inches at each hip, where the lower section is shirred to the yoke, giving an attractive fullness in a novel way. A White Silk Stocking Hint. A teaspoonful of turpentine in the last rinsing water will keep your white silk stocking from turning yellow when washed. --- TO BE SURE OF THE SAME INSURE WITH LIFE, HEALTH AND ACCIDENT.

Partisanship may be a legitimate adhesion to party, or it may simply be an association for selfish ends. This latter partisanship may become the bane of national existence, as it is organized to prate of principle while it is grabbing the spoils, As one writer pute it stich partisans are “bound together by the cohesive power of public plunder.” This perverted partisanship bends its greatest efforts to the control of political situations through organizations masking under the names of social or moral associations, Under a plea of morality, or reform, they seek to gain office or power, regardless of the greater good of the state or the natica, ‘The methods of stich partisans may he distinguished easily. “They are always the same— pledges from candidates, falsehood. treachery, the denial of obliga- tions an? corruption of officials either through threats of defeat or promises of favors Frequently the efforts of such partisans are ine spired by coal. but zeal ina had cause may be even a greater evil than that which the zealot would try to remedy.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A correspondent of the New York Evening Mail writes as follows: I read with interest in the Evening Mail the proposal of the "compulsory enlistment of Negroes in a huge standing army," primarily to wield the shovel and incidentally to defend the country, and this, too, offered as a solution of the Negro problem. Of all flights of the imagination this is the worst. The Negro has always been foremost in the defense of his country, and always among the first to answer his country's call. I will mention Crispus Attucks, the Negro whose blood was the first shed in the War of the Revolution in calling the citizens of Boston to resent the attacks of the British; the conduct of the black troops in the Civil war, especially the men of the Massachusetts and Illinois regiments, who fought throughout the war without murmuring, although their families were without support because a secretary of war refused to pay them because their faces were black! Though these men didn't receive their pay until seven years after the war, there was no thought of mutiny or of quitting. When Gen. Benjamin Butler sent his famous message to headquarters, "If you don't send me re-enforcements by tomorrow I will carry the war into Africa," time has shown he made no mistake in so doing. Of the conduct of the Negroes in the Spanish-American war, those who were at El Caney and San Juan Hill can bear witness. The president of the United States has seen fit to congratulate the black men of the border patrols for their splendid discipline and efficiency between a rain lead in front of them and a storm of prejudice behind them. Then why this compulsory enlistment of a race that never in the history of this country has been weighed in the balance and found wanting? The Negro does not have to be driven to serve his country, but he does ask that he be allowed to serve his country as a man. The only place the Negro race, or any other race, has is that to which by merit it is entitled. The time has long since passed since the Negro was only a hower of wood and a drawer of water. In this government of the people, by the people and for the people, the Negro asks only an equal opportunity for his lawyers, his doctors, his business men, etc. A race that can produce such concededly efficient fighters surely can and has produced men capable of acting as officers. Then why "white" officers? I regret not having been able, as the writer, "to have done my full duty to my country," but that wasn't my fault. Perhaps my experiences in that direction might be interesting. When a student at the Boys' High school of Brooklyn representatives from several Brooklyn regiments called at the school to interest students in high school companies of those regiments. Every man in my class was approached but myself. Having learned of the part Negroes had played in the wars of the United States and being ambitious to do my share, I presented myself at a certain armory near the school. I was informed that they had no companies for colored men. Later on in life as a student in a university up state which has compulsory freshmen military training under the control of an officer of the United States army, I was told by There is a lesson given in everything they do at Tuskegee, and a demand that they do it well, writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala) Age-Herald. They are taught that good work is elevating and that poor service is not wanted. Every pupil, boy or girl, is given the opportunity of learning a trade, fitting themselves to do one thing best, though they learn many lessons in all kinds and classes of work. They are disciplined, are taught order, politeness, stimulated to study; when they fail to do their best they are put in the drone class, subjected to the charge of failure, and this plan has worked well. Tbl of the lessons learned from the cultivation of diversified crops, all done by students—110 acres in Doooly yam potatoes, and other crops of similar acreage; the preparation of a silo for winter forage, a butcher pen, cold storage plant, furniture factory, wagons, bugles and carriages, shoe shops, laundry, bakery, printing press, creamery, a model dairy and kitchen, where every girl is forced to take cooking lessons, sewing room, plain and fancy stitches; can Of the minor race divisions, the Albanians, the inhabitants of the remaining immediate possession of European Turkey, are supposed to be direct descendants of the ancient Illyrians.

THE TULSA STAR this commandant that I would be excused from the regiments because the presence of a colored man in the company would cause friction. Quite a change since the Wilderness. Over my protest to serve my country I was refused. A classmate of mine who joined the bugle corps was asked to resign because there was one too many buglers, yet he was among the first to come out for the position and had had experience. In connection with the meeting of the National Negro Business league at Boston, the New York Post publishes some figures relative to the commercial progress of the Negro during the last 15 years. In 1900 there were in this country 20,000 Negro business enterprises; in 1915 over 45,000 in 1900 Negroes operated two banks; 1915, over fifty. In 1900 there were 10,000 Negro retail merchants; 1915 over 25,000. During the same period the value of farm property held by Negroes has increased proportionately. The value of domestic animals ad vanced from $85,000,000 to $177,000,000; poultry, $3,800,000 to $5,000,000; implements and machinery, $18,500,000 to $36,800,000; land and buildings, $69,600,000 to $273,500,000. The percent age of increase ranges from 36 per cent to 29.3. Much of this progress is credited to the influence of Booker T. Washington, ton. Tuskegee institute, and to like institutions, which have stood for vocational training. At Tuskegee and the other schools which have been modeled after its plan, emphasis is laid on such courses as blacksmithing, dairying, poultry raising, etc., which fit the student for immediately remunerative employment. In his address before the Negro business men at Boston, Doctor Washington urged his audience to take up truck farming, baking, storekeeping, etc., saying "there is in the United States no hope for us, except we teach our young people to apply their education to develop the natural resources and promote human happiness in the communities in which they live." On farms both North and South, there is ample opportunity to put this advice into effect. Despite lynching in the South, which is an expression of community lawlessness rather than Negro antagonism, there is reason to believe that prejudice against the Negro is dying out. When the Negro exposition was held at Richmond, Va., a short time ago, the newspapers of that city warmly supported the undertaking, urging white people to attend, and there were thousands of white visitors. At the exposition in Chicago, where the work of 2,000,000 Negro school children was on exhibition, the opening day was declared a holiday by the city council and all municipal and county offices were closed. "Few colored men have had such a large number of friends among prominent white citizens as Walter Perry, for many years employed in a responsible position at the Country club, and whose death occurred recently," said Robert B. McDow, secretary of the Southern club of Birmingham, Ala. "Some years ago while I "as secretary of the Country club I hired Walter and he was there until he died. All ways dependable, always faithful, no one could have given better service. Everybody who knew him liked him, and I among hundreds learned of his death with sincere regret." ning and preserving; all of these were in operation at the summer school as well as through the regular term.

COULD RECOGNIZE NUISANCE Judge's Retort Set Courtroom Laugh ing and Gave Lawyer Something to Think About. City Magistrate Krotel, who is noted for a characteristic brand of dry humor, occasionally manifested in utterances from the bench, turned a cruel, shaft loose upon a pestiferous young attorney this week, to the supreme enjoyment of a crowded courtroom, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. The young attorney was prosecuting in a case where the maintaining of a nuisance was alleged. The rulings of Magistrate Krotel did not please him. His numerous objections became persistently controversial. "If your honor pleases," he said, "I would not presume to instruct the honorable court in a question of law, but I am impelled to observe that I doubt—in the present case only, of course—if the court properly conceives of what constitutes a nuisance." "You are mistken, sir," was the response from the bench. "This court has never had a more clear or exemplary idea of what constitutes a nuisance than in the present case at the present time. And for that, in a measurable way, the court thanks you, sir." CHECK NEEDED TOUCHING UP Bank Cashier Handled the Subject Diplomatically, but Sensitive Mr. Brushly Was Annoyed. "This check of yours," said the large-hearted painter to Brushly, the impressionist painter, "is drawn exceedingly well, and in composition seems to be pretty nearly perfect; but it lacks background, Mr. Brushly. But for that it would be a work of art. Your foreground is charming, but just a trifle too—well, shall we say too 'anciful?'" "I don't know what you are driving at," growled Brushly. "I suppose you know what you mean, however. What kind of a background would you suggest?" "Cash!" said the cashier. "A work of art like this, calling for the payment of $50, is not wholly convincing with a sketchy little overdraft of $2.89 on deposit to provide the necessary contrasts in light and shade and to give the thing what we might call balance." Whereupon Brushly, like the self respecting man he was, snapped his fingers under the impudent fellow's nose and transferred his overdraft to the trust company across the street.—Judge. Ernest P.

Here is a little story that was told by Congressman William C. Adamson of Georgia when the conversation turned to natural misunderstanding: A young housewife who lives in a suburban town went to the village store to make some purchases. "These chickens look very nice," remarked the customer, pausing before the poultry counter. "How much are they?" "One dollar apiece, madam," was the prompt response of the obliging proprietor. "You can't find better poultry for the money in the whole country." "One dollar," thoughtfully mused the customer, and then added: "Did you raise them?" "Oh, no, madam!" was the hasty assurance of the misunderstanding storekeeper. "That is the same price I offered to sell them or yesterday." Picked a Real American Name. A somewhat unpatriotic little son of Italy, twelve years old, came to his teacher in the public school and asked if he could not have his name changed.

INDICATIONS ARE FOR MOST SUCCESSFUL SHOW EVER HELD. BIG INCREASE IN EXHIBITS Agricultural Hall Bursting With Wonderful Crop Exhibits—Tractor Show a New Feature of Great Interest. Oklahoma City.—True to all predictions and expectations, the ninth annual Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition opened at Oklahoma City last Saturday, and entertained one of the largest crowds in the history of the fair, on any one day. A marked increase in exhibits was noticeable in all departments but particularly so in the live stock, county exhibits, and educational departments. Cattle, horses and swine from all sections of the west filled all available stall and pen. Every inch of Agricultural Hall, housing the county exhibits, is filled with farm products of Oklahoma. It is a wonderful display and exceeds all records for separate exhibits—thirty-seven counties are represented. In the educational department the state schools are well represented—stronger than ever before. A. & M. College is represented with a display from every department of this big school. The normal and district agricultural schools make a fine showing. Implement field with its acres of machinery exhibits is a center of interest. The tractor show every morning between 10 and 12 o'clock brings fifteen tractors together for demonstrations. Enormous crowds have attended this feature. During the balance of the day experts explain their machines for the benefit of visitors on implement field among the other machinery exhibits. Over seven hundred babies will be examined in the Better Babies Contest, during the Fair. The staff of physicians has been doubled to handle the big increase of entries. The amusement features surpass any previous fair. Easily the premier event of all is Ruth Law, a girl aviatrix, who made her first flight Monday before thousands who had been attracted by her announced first flight. Her feat of taking up an assistant several thousand feet and dropping him in a parachute while going seventy miles an hour is the most spectacular performance ever witnessed in the state. The program for this week includes harness and running races and auto races. The stables at the fair grounds are housing many of the best known horses in the west preparatory to starting in the various races announced for this week. Six famous drivers, including Johnny Ralmey and "Wild Bill" Endicott, are here for the auto raecs. Big crowds are expected for both days when the speed men will hold forth on the track --Wednesday and Saturday. Twenty-seven different makes of motor cars are represented in the Auto Show. Several exhibitors are showing four different models, bringing the total of cars on display to well over a hundred. All indications are for big crowds during the current week. Railroads have announced special trains on all their lines and Oklahoma City is entertaining the biggest crowds in years.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E O SELLERS, Acting Director of Science Source the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 3 ELIJAH IN NABOTH'S VINEYARD. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 21:11:20. GOLDEN TEXT-Be sure your sin will find you out.-Num. 23:23. Ahab disbelieved God and failed to follow up his victory over Ben-Hadad (ch. 20:31:34). Thereupon one of the prophets resorted to a plan whereby Ahab was rebuked and also received a message that sent him "to his house heavy and displeased" (v. 43). All of this needs to be borne in mind when we study Ahab's course of action related in this lesson. Learn by heart the tenth commandment; also Luke 12:15. I. The Schemes of Men, vv. 11:16. Ahab had been king for twenty years (B. C. 906?). Jezreel was his summer capital, about twenty miles northwest of Samaria. The chief actors in this tragedy were Naboth, a well-to-do citizen; Ahab, a petulant monarch to whom Naboth refuses to sell his vineyard; Jezebel, the Lady Macbeth of Ahab's court; elders and nobles of Jezreel, willing tools in the transaction; false witnesses, executioner, and Elijah, the servant of God, who confronted the monarch in his newly gained possession. Ahab was constantly in conflict with the purposes of God and with his Word. Naboth had no right to sell his vineyard (see Numbers 36:7; Lev. 25:23; also Ezek. 46:16) and sturdily stood out for his God-given rights. These land laws were rigid, but at the same time wise and beneficial. Instead of yielding to God's law Ahab sulks like a petted child (v. 4) and thus again runs counter to God's Word (see tenth commandment). At this juncture Jezebel, his wife, appeals to his pride and power as the king (v. 7), and offers to procure the coveted possession. The methods of mankind whereby vast possessions are accumulated do not always bear investigation; murder and rapine, broken hearts and shortened lives, weakened bodies and stunted children can largely be traced to the sin or covetousness, against which we all need to be on guard (Luke 12:15; Eph. 5:5). The first sinner was covetous (Gen. 3:6), so also were the chosen people of God (Josh. 7:21), and it was this that caused the first dissension among Christian believers (Acts 5:1:3). Jezebel most graciously gave Ahab that which belonged to others; how free we all can be with the property of others! She also cloaked her designs with the mantle of religion (8:13). II. The Sentence of God, vv. 17-20. The dead Naboth was happier than his neighbors of Jezreel, the king and queen or any of the other evil participants. Ahab began by breaking the first commandment (I Kings 16:31; Deut. 5:7) and thus laid the groundwork of the whole train of evil for which he and his household and his reign are famous. The elders readily obeyed the word of Jezebel and Ahab profited thereby, but now he was to hear the Word of God and it was not to be so welcome. Recently we saw Elijah set aside, following his flight from Jezebel, but he is not entirely beyond use and God now gave him a new commission, one more task in connection with his old opponent. There is nothing indicating cowardice in Elijah's bold challenge of Ahab and there is also a suggestion of a guilty conscience in Ahab's exclamation, "Hast thou found me. O mine enemy" (v 20)? Ahab had "gone down to the vineyard of Naboth" (v 16) to enjoy the pleasure of possessing his ill-gotten treasure only to hear again his word of doom (ch. 20:42; 21-19). It was a poor exchange Ahab made (Mark 8:37), a throne and his life in exchange for the carrying out of his own will and the possession of a vineyard. In that exact spot where Naboth had been foully stoned the dogs would lick up the blood of the king. As is usually the case, the guilty sinner called the righteous servant of God his "enemy," yet had Ahab obeyed the Word of Jehovah as so frequently spoken by Elijah he would have discovered him to be his true and best friend, not his enemy. Ahab's sn had found him out (Golden Text, Num. 32:23). III. The Summary. Covetousness is not the mere desire for things we do not possess, but a deep longing which is willing to do wrong, to injure others, to profit by the evil deeds of others in order to come into possession. Covetousness seeks to gain at the expense of higher and better things; it is the extreme opposite of the spirit of him who "gave all." The greatest danger of our land and the chief source of sin is covetousness. The source and fountain of covetousness is selfishness. Hence the one and only cure is in a changed heart, one consecrated to God and devoted to the service of others. Love God, obey his Word, strive with all our ransomed powers to build up and advance his kingdom and covetousness will vanish as mist befor the summer sun. Covetousness is insatiable, it is never satisfied. it is like the drug habit, it grows by leaps and bounds. it is idolatry, effectually shutting us out of the kingdom. THE TULSA STAR Where It Was Appropriate. Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very pleased with the result of the present temperance move. "We are all temperate now," said his lordship recently. "To get drunk is an unheard-of thing among gentlemen. If a gentleman ever gets drunk nowadays he has, you may be sure, a remarkable excuse to offer." To illustrate his point Lord Kitchener told this story: A major, after a fancy dress ball at Simla, came home drunk and his shocked wife said to him: "Aren't you ashamed to return from the ball in that condition?" "Don't blame me, my dear," said the major; "you must remember that the character I assumed was that of a sponge." Gibbs—I tell you, no man can fool my wife. Dibbs—Then how did you get her?

"I fear that you are inclined to look on your fellow man with a jaundiced eye," remarked the altruist. "It isn't my fault," said the pessimist. "My fellow man shows on an average such a broad yellow streak that the reflection has affected my vision." Isn't it So. "What in the world made you marry him so long as you don't love him?" "Oh, that is the easiest way I know of to get rid of a man." Pessimism. "There's something in this world besides money." "Yes," said the cynic; "there's poorhouse."

Next, it must be roasted by experts under perfect conditions. Skillful roasting brings out the full delicacy of the natural flavor. Unskillful roasting spoils the flavor and causes a heavy and wasteful loss in weight. Finally, coffee must be packed in a way that will keep it fresh, and protect it from outside odors and from moisture. In Arbuckles' Coffee you get all these advantages.

A young preacher who was staying at a clergy house was in the habit of retiring to his room for an hour or more each day to practice pulpit oratory. At such times he filled the house with sounds of fervor and pathos and emptied it of almost everything else. A well-known bishop happened to be visiting a friend in this house one day when the budding orator was holding forth.

WISDOM AFTER THE EVENT Legislative Warn Be Constituted That It Is Great Design for Him to Say "I Trust You But" Now wise men are after the event it matters not how eager a project is planned, or how significantly its execution is justified. If it turns out ill, not how ill considered and gunned it be, if it turns out well. Failures limits to its the means of any enterprise, and success to its failer. It is useless for the unsuccessful man to show that it was through in part of his own, but from unexpected causes which to humiliate could have furiousness as provided but that he failed—in short that he observed success. The result shows that "there was a screw loose somewhere," either in the paint or elsewhere, and his explanations fall on dead ears. What magnifies our impulses with the punitive thunderstorm vault hills in that we could hold and join on the stern how strenuous his enterprise was, or how by different management, he might have punished. He did not remember the Great been uninterrupted for three days in his march or Persia by a sickness caused by a cold birth in the River Cyprus, he would have encountered with his small force the overwhelming army of the enemy on the plains instead of the narrow mountain passes of Cilicia, and would therefore in all probability have been defended instead of winning the great victory that founded the third monarchy in the world. How, in the former event, would the double-chinned wizardess of Macedon have taken the honds at the fool-hardiness of the young king's expedition!

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 about child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Sidgema. The second son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his days, 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 eleventh child, attained considerable popularity as a public singer, has married the daughter of General Grant. 10
