African M.E. Conference in Tulsa Next Week!
Vol. 3,No. 48
Tulsa Will Entertain Church Folks
REV. JAS. A. JOHNSON
Popular Pastor Of The A. M. Church
Who is winding up his last year at Tulsa.
The A. M. E. Annual Conference will be in session here next week and again Tulsa will be the temporary home of hundreds of delegates from various parts of the state. This conference will be a very important one to the A. M. E. church, people of this city because it will take from them a pastor who towers high above the average pastor and who is beloved by saints and sinners in this city because of open combating the evils of life. Rev. Johnson has been pastor of the A. M. E. Church five years and during that time he has endeared himself to the members and friends of that church. But this conference will take him away from his flock and send him to a strange land among strange people, and there he must start over again and built up for another five years, when, unless a change in the law governing the church, he will be removed again. Under Rev. Johnson's able administration the A. M. S. church has developed into the leading church of the city among Colored people, with reference to comfort and appearance and the church is out of debt. Rev. Johnson has mad many frends among the citizens of Tulsa, and they will be loath to see him go. The influence of good strong men is much needed now in the churches of this city, and every one who knows Rev. Johnson will be sorry to lose him as pastor of the A. M. E. church.

MY LIFE'S AMBITION.
(By J. B. Stradford.)
To be a ma has been my life long desire. To be endowed with all the rights and privileges that any other citizen of this nation has is a question which has agitated the Afro-Americans since the days of reconstruction. The south has lost millions of her Colored citizens on account of her discrimination and oppression, who have gone into all of the northern states and into Canada, not looking for social equality, but so ras much freedom as they possibly can get. Twenty-five years ago this country belonged to the Indian and the black man. The white man learning of its wonderful resources emigrated, came here ate and slept with the Indian and the black man--attended the same schools and, until he ingratiated himself into their confidence then fleeced them out of their property turns upon them with all the venom of the devil and tells them this is a white man's country and you have no rights. We are bound to respect. They Jim Crowed us. They Grandady claused. They took away all of our substantial rights. To the effect that the state could not tolerate conditions, so lige the pilgrim who left England on account of religious persecutions came to this country where they could serve God according to the dictates of the faith consciences, our people have sold their belongings at a great sacrifice, some have gone to Canada where they can feel that they have an equal chance in the race of life and some have gone to Africa looking for those rights and privileges that extends equally to all mankind. The white man in this country knows no superior, he goes forth unhampered, unrestricted, lige the sun, which rises in the east in the morning and travels his westward course and sits behind the western horizon with nothing in heaven or on earth to interfere, disturb or impede his progress. Oh! what a glorious thing is freedom. Freedom of thought freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of locomotion, and freedom to act as you please so long as you do not abridge the rights of others. This is the freedom which is delegated to the white man in Oklahoma, and denied to the black man. What can I do, in Oklahoma, that may life long hope may be realized?

Weeks takes Democrats to Task
(By J. B. Stradford)
Senator Weeks' masterly arraignment of democratic misrule in governmental affairs and a clear exposition of the tariff was received with great applause by his hearers. He differed greatly from Senator Tilman. Senator Weeks presented facts to the people for their consideration. Ee explained fully the effect of the tariff on wool and who was benefitted by it and also the effect of tariff sufar and who was injured by it. He also 'explained the merchant marine bill and showed him it had driven every American ship out of the Pacific ocean and all of our export and imports are carried in foreign ships. He also spoke of the insincestibility of a war tax in time of peace and an income tax that was a detriment to our institutions. The federal banking law came in for its share of criticism. He appealed to the intelligence of the audience to vote to uphold the standard of our institutions against the competition of cheap foreign labor. Senator Tilman in the main appeals to the ignorance and prejudice of his hearers by preaching Negro domination a thing impossible.
Muskogee People Church Going Folks
Muskogee People Church Going Folks
Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 12.
The Colored people of this city are ahead of the Colored folks in any other town in the state when it comes to attending church. There may be some other distinctions of which they boast, but in this particular they doubtless have taken all honors. Besides the Methodists, Episcopal and Presbyterian churches there are fourteen Colored Baptist churches in this city, representing an aggregate value of probably $50,000.00. All of these churches have on Sundays no matter what other attractions may be in the town, each of them are filled with church going people.
Prominent among the Baptist leaders of this city is Rev. J. W. Perkins pastor of the Second Baptist church on North 7th Street. This church has been lately remodeled at an approximate cost of $4,000.00, and probably an equal amount will be expended before it is finally finished. It is an imposing structure, with basement elevated floor, balcony and gallery, built on the orde rof larger churches in the east. Rev. Perkins is very popular among his people and is really a deserving Christian gentleman.
Fell dead at work
Prominent Church Worker Falls Dead Sunday Morning.
Leaving his home early Sunday morning to be on duty where he was employed down town, Mr. A. C. Curd of 316 N. Greenwood, suddenly fell and was picked up dead.
The body was taken to the Home Undertaking Parlor and prepared for burial. It was shipped Wednesday to Perry, Okla., his former home, for interment.
Mr. Curd was a member of the A. M. E. church and was a faithful worker. He leaves a wife, a son and a number of friends to mourn his loss.
Can You Play on it?
Little four year old Toussaint was eating dinner with his mother and little sister the other day and asked for a glass of water.
"Toussaint" his mother admonished "I'm afraid you will ruin your digestive organs by drinking so much water while eating." The little fellow evinced a look of innocent perplexity as he thoughtfully gazed out the dining room window, his brows knitted as if weighing some ponderous question in his little mind. Suddenly he turned to his mother, still perplexed as he retorted: "Mamma, can you play on that?"
Negro Fair Association Sued
Negro Fair Association Sued
Judgment Rendered to the Amount of $150.00 Is Obtained Against Organization.
Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 11.—Judgments were rendered in the Superior court here today to the amount of $150 against the Negro Independent State Fair Association, which had been sudeby several parties for their claims which the Assn could not pay for lack of funds. A number of other claims are outstanding against the Assn, on which no suits have been brought as yet. A noticeable fact about the management of this Assn is that all the white papers which advertised the fair were paid in full while none of the Colored papers were paid any part of their claims.
It is claimed by some white and Colored people here that the white folks fair here last week was almost much of a failure as the Negro Fair which was a kind of experiment.

WORK OF SURGEONS IN WAR
Prevention of Disease and the-Cure of Wounds Has Been Something Marvelous.
No phase of human activity and progress has been further developed, perhaps, than the work of medicine and surgery during this great war. Doctor Beaumont of the White Star line, tells the New York Times that after a three months' tour of base hospitals in Great Britain he finds that surgery has become more conservative through the use of the X-ray. So efficient has the whole hospital service become that men wounded at Ypres were in London hospitals in 12 hours afterward. From the colleges 4,600 surgeons have joined the service, and yet there is need for more. There has been a great decrease in the number of gangrene cases in Flanders and lockjaw in France, where the soil is fertile in nourishing the tetanus germs. Antitetanus serum injected immediately has prevented innumerable cases. Inoculation against typhoid fever is also practiced. There have not been three dozen cases of enteric among the British in this war, while in the Boer war there were thousands. The greater number of the shrapnel and high explosives and not by rifle bullets, which pass clean through and do little harm unless they strike a vital part. Doctor Carrel and Doctor Dakin together have discovered a new antiseptic which seems little short of marvelous in its action. One of the most valuable lessons of the war was the discovery of the wonderful usefulness of iodine as an antiseptic dressing. The new discovery relates to the addition of carbonate of lime and boric acid to hypochlorite of lime, overcoming the objections to the latter. Only a few months ago two French physicians discovered a "polyvalent" serum roughly described as "a combination of several serums against different varieties of bacteria." Recent news is that most gratifying results have followed the use of this serum. The British Medical Journal says that Americans show faint appreciation of their medical discoverers. It cites our hall of fame, where politicians head the roll, with authors next and fiction writers at the head of them. This fact is emphasized, the New York Sun thinks, by the reflection that the name of Morton, the American discoverer of anesthesia, is probably not so well known as the names of a thousand medicritices.
Tiny Pellet Brings $500.
A little round ball of paper which Mrs. Charles R. Vincent dug out of the pocket of an old sweater she was washing made her heir to real estate valued at $500. The paper proved to be her husband's will.
Vincent died on March 29. His widow knew he had made a will, but a five months' search failed to reveal where he had put it.
Recently she took down the sweater her husband had worn, and which had been hanging in a closet since his death. She washed it and was about to wring it out when she noticed a bump in one of the pockets.
Mrs. Vincent unrolled the paper, dried it and ironed it out. It bequeathed real estate at Pine Brook, N. J., to her. The widow took the paper down to the city hall and had it admitted to arrob to Philadelphia South Anglia.

CONDITIONS
(Special to The Tulsa Star.)
Mr. A. J. Smitherman:
Dear Shr:
Will you kindly publish this article and oblige the writer, G. H. Ambrose? Some deplorable conditions as they now exist and have heretofore existed in the Colored schools and the educational affairs of the State, counties and cities of Oklahoma.
I have been noting the conditions in a special way for more than a year, and have listened to the tales of woe young lady teachers with great interest that have come to my ears from our est, and terrible have they been sitions and fail to accompany with it a check or obligate themselves to some one or two individuals as a rule they get no reply for the reason that they are not able to come across with the price, consequently the poor girl who is fully qualified is denied and turned away. Then this same class of girls are forced to obligate themselves in the wrong way. One incident has come to my notice where parties just demanded a stipulated amount of a young lady teacher and upon her refusal to comply with the said request she failed to be appointed. Allow me to say to the fair minded citizens of Oklahoma, how long will we allow these deplorable conditions to exist? For we can plainly see that such conditions simply tend to drive our girls into immoral paths so long as they have to teach for a living.
It makes the poor girl say, what's the use of my preparing myself to teach? I am not able to pay the price hence I am left out on the world alone, unless I am willing to cater to the wishes of a few in a certain ring. Can we afford to sit at ease with such conditions existing? I say nay! thrice nay! It is up to us to protect them and see to it that they are made the victims of such disgraceful conditions no longer, and not allow ourselves to be among those that will come out and brand them all as immoral beings and start to slinging mud, and steling their good names. Shakespeare says "He that flitches from me my good name robs me of that which ne'en enriches him, and makes me poor indeed."
I have noted with much interest the spirit of unrest that has existed in all the principal schools of this great state, it seems that the schoolboards, patrons, faculty and supts., cannot come to any satisfactory terms under no circumstances. Several attempts have been made by the patrons all over the state to oust the faculty against the wishes of the schoolboard and supt., and on the other hand several attempts have been made on the part of the boards to out the faculty or principal against the wishes of the patrons, hence conditions have grown from bad to worse until it has reached the highest school in the state, and in reaching this special school it has brought on the worst scandal of modern times, but it it true or untrue, it has had its effect which is indeed a very deplorable incident. We should remember that words once spoken can never be recalled.
God forbid that we should allow these conditions to exist any longer. Patrons, faculty and school boards should get together and see if these conditions can be changed, because it is impossible to develop and mold the young's minds into great and rounded characters except we give to them the best we have.
"Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you."

GERMANSDISAVOW ARABIC SINKING
VON BERNSTORFF FINALLY DE
LIVERS SATISFACTORY
NOTE TO LANSING.
TO PAY FOR AMERICAN LIVES
Prospects of Rupture Over Submarine Cases Apparently Dissipated By Capitulation of Germany.
Washington. — Germany has completely acceded to the American demands for settlement of the Arabic case. The imperial government in a letter presented by its ambassador, Count Von Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing disavows the sinking of the vessel, announces that it has so notified the submarine commander who made the attack, expresses regret for the loss of American lives and agrees to pay an indemnity to their families.
Official Washington was both gratified and relieved by the diplomatic victory. The communication delivered by the ambassador pursuant to general instructions from his government spread absolute confidence that there would be no more submarine controversies between the United States and Germany for the document reveals that stringent orders have been given to submarine commanders to prevent a recurrence of such incidents as the Arabic.
Since this case embraces the principles for which President Wilson contended in his notes following the torpeding of the Lusitania and the Falka, the concessions made by Germany to the American viewpoint were generally regarded as paving the way for amicable settlement of all the cases which have threatened severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Von Berstuorm said in his letter: "On the other hand the imperial government does not doubt the good faith of the affidavit of the British officers of the Arabic, according to which the Arabic did not intend to ram the submarine. The attack of the submarine was undertaken against the instructions issued to the commander. The imperial government regrets and disavows this act and has notified Commander Schneider accordingly. "Under these circumstances, my government is prepared to pay an indemnity for American lives which, to its deep regret, have been lost on the Arabic. I am authorized to negotiate with you about the amount of this indemnity.

The opposition readers attacked the premier bitterly. They accused him of unnecessarily leading the country into the war on the side of the allies.
Plain speaking characterized the meeting. The premier accused the opposition press of "selling its honor to German propagandists."

1915 CROPS BREAK RECORDS
BIGGEST WHEAT CROP IN HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY.
Oats, Barley, Rice, Tobacco and Sweet Potatoes Set High Marks.
Washington. — American harvests this year will be the most valuable ever produced. With the wheat crop exceeding 1,000,000,000 bushels, the largest ever produced in one season by any nation and a corn crop which also may prove to be the largest ever grown, the government's October crop report announced preliminary estimates which indicate record harvests of oats, barley, rye, sweet potatoes, rice, tobacco and hay.
Corn still is king of crops with indications of 3,925,159,000 bushels. While that is 98,000,000 bushels below the record of 1912, the final production may more than make up the deficiency. The higher prices this year assures the most valuable corn crop ever grown. At prices to farmers prevailing October 1, the corn crop is worth $2,133,000,060.
Wheat prospects increased as the growing season progressed so that preliminary estimate of the total was put at 1,002,029,000 bushels, 111,000,000 bushels greater than the record crop of 1912. Wet weather at harvest time, however, reduced the quality of winter wheat so that much of it will not be available for milling purposes and will have to be used for feed. At prices prevailing October 1, the farm value of the crop is $910,844,000, considerably more than ever was paid for a wheat crop before.
September weather was particularly destructive to potatoes, causing a reduction of 37,758,000 bushels or 10 per cent in the forecast of production. Tobacco also suffered from unfavorable conditions, which caused a decrease of 21,345,000 pounds in the production forecast. Tobacco, however, expects to break the record crop of 1969 by 43,000,000 pounds.
Oats will exceed the record crop of 1912 by almost 100,000,000 bushels. Barley will exceed its record by 13,000,000 bushels; sweet potatoes by 5,000,000 bushels; rice by 500,000 bushels, and hay by 8,000,000 tons.
RECOGNITION FOR GEN. CARRANZA
First Chief Seems to Have the Upper Hand At Last.
Washington.—Recognition of the party led by General Carranza as the de facto government in Mexico was unanimously agreed upon by the Pan-American conference as the step to be recommended to their respective governments.
Secretry Lansing, on behalf of the United States government, expressed its intention to recognize General Carranza and the ambassadors of Brazil, Chile, Argentine and the ministers of Bolivia, Uruguay and Gautemala transmitted the decision of the Washington government as well as their opinion in agreement with it.
The action of the conference was regarded generally as the most important diplomatic step in the Mexican situation since the United States decided to withhold recognition from the Huerta government more than two years ago. It means that the Carranza government will receive the moral support of the United States and that an emargo on shipment of arms to opposing factions will be laid as soon as recognition actually is extended, which probably will be within a fortnight.
Secretary Lansing made it clear that while the United States could not consider recognition upon the giving of amnesty or the settlement of other questions of a strictly internal nature, satisfactory assurances on these and other subjects have been received from the Carranza government. The guarantees are as follows:
Guarantees From Carranza. First—Foreigners will be protected in their lives and property.
Second—The Carranza government assumes full responsibility for claims growing out of the revolution and will adjust them equitably by means of international commissions.
Third—No one will suffer in his life and property on account of religious beliefs, all priests and nuns who have not taken part in Mexican politics will be permitted to return and will be protected, provided, they do not participate in politics and obey the Mexican laws governing the separation of church and state.
Fourth—A decree of amnesty is in preparation which will enable all elements, irrespective of political affiliations heretofore, to return to Mexico with the exception of those guilty of complicity in the plot to kill Madero and Suarez.
Official advises have been received here that the governments of Argentina, Brazil and Chile are in accord with the decision of the United States. Teutonic Hordes Invading Serbia, Berlin-Large German and Austrian forces have invaded Serbia. The Teutonic troops have crossed the Drina, Save and Danube rivers at many places, and have established footholds. The Teutonic invasion may precipitate the crisis in the Balkans. Recent developments have shown that Bulgaria was likely to co-operate with Germany and Austria by attacking Serbia from the east. An army of French and British troops has been landed at Saloniki, Greece, and sent to Serbia.

SERBIANS RETREAT BEFORE TEUTONS
BELGRADE AND SURROUNDING HEIGHTS IN HANDS OF INVADERS.
BALKANS KEEPING HANDS OFF
Fear Guns of Anglo-French Fleets;
Pitched Battle Not In
Prospect For Some
Time.
London.—The Austro-Germans are now in f.1 possession of Belgrade and the heights surrounding the city and have begun an advance eastward toward the mountains which the Serbians last year so stubbornly defended against the Austrians.
For som time, time to come the invaders, it is expected, will have to fight only the rear guards whose duty it is to delay their progress, for the Serbians will doubtless do as they have done on previous occasions—fall back until they have reached positions in which they will have the best opportunity of holding their ground. In fact military writers here do not expect a pitched battle on this front for ten days or a fortnight by which time the allies' forces landed at Salonik should have joined hands with the Serbians. The Bulgarians so far as is known have not yet made any incursion into Serbian territory and it is believed that they will withhold their hands until they know how matters go with the Austro-Germans.
Some Balkan authorities believed that the Balkans, will not interfere with the move northward of the Anglo-French armies, for to do so would bring the shells of the warships into their ports on the Black and Aegean seas, probably followed by the landing of Russian troops at Varna and Burgas and of other allied troops, at Dedeghatch.
Greece and Roumania regain interested spectators although the former has given assurance of her benevolent neutrality toward the allies. Representatives of the entente have furnished the Greek government with information concerning the agreement between Bulgaria and Germany which it is asserted gives the Bulgars a free hand to deal not only with Serbia, but with Greece as well should the central powers win.
The fighting on the various fronts brought about little or no change in the situation. The Germans, after two days' heavy fighting, in which, according to the British and French accounts, they suffered a severe reverse, have abandoned for the moment the attempt to recapture territory won from them by the British south of Labasse. They do claim, however, to have retaken from the French some trenches east of Soucnez and at Tahure in Champagne.
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg is making slow progress in his operations against Dvinsk and although he claims to have taken more of the Russian positions, he does not appear to be much nearer the city than he was two weeks ago.
South of the Pripet river and in Galacia the tide of battle flows and ebbs. First the Russians, then the Austro-Germans attack and counter attack, and where, during the summer, miles of country would change bands in a day now it is a question of defending some isolated village. The heaviness of the ground doubtless is largely responsible for this.
Greece Urged to Support Entente
Athens. The representatives of the entente powers while exercising no pressure on the Greek government are urging it to reply to the question put last week in regard to its future course respecting the Serbo-Grecian alliance. The cabinet deliberated this question at great length but has not reached any agreement. A neutral diplomat in Athens reported to his government his opinion that within less than a month Former Premier Venizelos will be returned to power or else the ports of Greece will be blockaded by the entente powers.
It is learned from an authoritative diplomatic source that the representatives of the quadruple entente have advised Greece that Bulgaria's present attitude results from a written engagement signed on July 17 by Prince Hohenlohe-Langenburg, then acting German ambassador to Turkey. This agreement made on behalf of Austria and Germany provided for cession to Bulgaria of Serbian and Greek Macedonia, including the Greek ports of Saloniki and Kavala; of Kastoria in northern Greece near the Albanian border and of all Albania. The representatives of the entente powers assert they have proof that this agreement was made.
Canal Slides Serious.
Panama.—A careful survey of the slide area in the Gilliard cut reveals the fact that there are probably ten million cubic yards of earth in motion which must be taken out by dredging operations before a permanent channel through the cut is possible. This is the conclusion reached by the canal engineers who concede that there is now little hope of opening the waterway for the temporary use of shipping much before the first of the year.

WILSONWOULD LINE 'EM UP
WANTS TO KNOW WHO IS NEUTRAL AND WHO ISN'T.
Postmaster General Puts Theory to Practice by Barring Some Things From the Mails.
Washington.—A demand upon all Americans on pain of ostracism to be more than neutral in regard to the European war, to take their stand for America first, last and all the time, was voiced by President Wilson in a speech at the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The United States, the president said, was not merely trying to keep out of trouble, but was trying to preserve the foundations upon which peace could be rebuilt.
"Peace can be rebuilt," he added, "only upon ancient and accepted principles of international law; only upon those things which remind nations of their duties to each other and deeper than that, of their duties to mankind and humanity. America has a great cause which is not confined to the American continent. It is the cause of humanity itself."
Declaring his faith in the great body of naturalized citizens of foreign birth, the president said he believed the impression was too general that a very large number of these citizens were without a sufficient affection for the American ideal.
"But I am in a hurry to have a line-up," he explained, "and let the men who are thinking first of other countries stand on one side and those who are for America first, last and all the time on the other side."
Unneutral Matter Barred From Mall. Washington.—Two forms of mail matter said to have been extensively used by persons desiring to indicate their sympathies in connection with the European war were barred from the mails as unneutral by Postmaster General Burleson. The order follows:
"Postmasters are directed to treat as non-mailable under section 212 of the penal code (section 481 postal laws and regulations) envelopes, postcards, etc., bearing stickers containing the words or having printed on them words, 'Gott strafe England,' or a picture of the German escutcheon with a red blot labeled 'Lusitania' inscribed 'the blot that won't come off' as being not only unneutral but calculated to reflect upon certain classes of persons."
ENGLISH NOTE NEAR COMPLETION
America to Register Strong Protest Against Interference. With Trade.
Washington. — Final consideration was being given by President Wilson to a long note to be sent to Great Britain in a few days voicing the disapproval by the United States against British interference of American trade through the various orders in council. The communication has been long delayed because the president did not wish to complicate the government's case against Germany with the case of Great Britain.
The treatment by Great Britain of cotton which has been declared contraband and the actual operations of the orders in council are discussed in great length. In official quarters it is stated that the note is not an academic agreement on the principles of the subject but a protest which the American government intends to press constantly in order that modifications of alleged illegal practices may be obtained.
Foreign Exchange On the Toboggan
New York.-Foreign exchange rates went down again in the face of the successful flotation of the $500,000,000 credit loan to Great Britain and France to their lowest point since September 15. So disquieting was the situation deemed that a three-hour meeting attended by Wall street leaders and Sir Edward Holden, a member of the Anglo-French financial commission was held for the reported purpose of devising some new method to bolster the value of the British pound sterling.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
The Hampton institute press service offers some interesting information concerning Titustown, a prosperous Negro community, which lies on the southern side of Hampton Roads, midway between Ocean View and Norfolk.
At Titustown it is possible for a colored man to build an attractive and comfortable detached house, on a lot 35 by 110 feet, for $600. For $1,500 he can build and own a house of seven rooms. He is favored also in having a vacant lot left between his house and that of his neighbor. Every family has its full quota of air space. The children are not compelled to play in the streets and roadways.
Tittastown streets are straight, well graded, and bordered with trees, shrubs, and plants. To the people the rural free delivery brings the news of the outside world. It is said, on good authority, too, that every Negro in Tittastown gets and reads a daily paper. Some Negroes buy and read two daily papers. "To millions of black folks, even now," says the institute's report, "this would seem ultra modern. To some it may seem strange and even dangerous that Negroes should be so up and coming, but the truth is that in proportion as Negroes get knowledge based on experience and have their wants increased, they set down to habits of thrift and industry. This is what has happened to the Negroes of Tittastown. They have enjoyed rare opportunities. They have had plenty of work to do—work on the rich trucking lands, in the United States navy yard at Portsmouth, on the great coal piers at Sewell's and Lamber's point, and on the estates of wealthy Norfolk business and professional men. They have also received good wages.
"The church at Titustown—the Mt. Pleasant Baptist church—is a fine structure. It was recently built at a cost of $12,000 and has a membership of 1,500 persons. For long, long distances colored people come to attend this church and discuss problems of lively civic interest.
"In Tituwtown the church is strong and very attractive, but the school is also strong and fully as substantial, if less outwardly attractive. The county school board spent $8,000 on the Tituwtown school, which is a brick, fourroom building so constructed that another story may easily be added. Some 250 children are enrolled and the average attendance is very satisfactory. The children in Tituwtown school have good teachers and a term of seven months. They are clean, happy and alert. They are physically well set up, and show the good results of careful home training. The Tituwtown mothers find it possible to remain at home and care for their children instead of eking out a meager living over the washtub. The school equipment is good and is being steadily improved. The county manual training teacher has been able to make, with the assistance of the boys, some useful articles of school furniture. The school playground of three-quarters of an acre is kept clear of weeds and trash. A plot of two acres has been reserved for a public park. It is important that in any scheme for community building some provision should be made for recreational activities. One of the crying needs of Negro country life is healthful recreation."
A caterpillar's eyes can see nothing at a distance beyond two-fifths of an inch.
The students at Tuskegee are quoting with enthusiasm the following statement from a recent census bulletin:
"Farming in the South is passing into the hands of the black man. In the last ten-year census period the number of acres occupied by whites actually decreased; the negro acreage increased.
"The proportion of whites engaged in farming decreased; the proportion of Negroes increased. Ownership of farms by whites increased 12 per cent; by Negroes, 17 per cent. Among the whites the increase in farm tenants—men who do not own the land they work—was 27 per cent; among the Negroes it was but 21 per cent.
"The total number of white farmers working not their own but another man's land increased 188,000; the total number of Negro farmers working another man's land increased 118,000."
With wireless stations powerful enough to reach vessels in all Chinese water, the government of that nation will establish a typhoon warning service.
The ways of the law are sometimes like those of a heathen Chinese. A New York policeman, on whom three bulldogs were "sicked." had the "sicker" arrested for violating the sanitary code. It provides that canines must be muzzled.
The sound of the military rifle bullet, traveling at 1,500 feet a second, is like that of a long blacksnake whip, violently cracked. However, the bullet beats the sound, and if a man struck by one hears a cracking it is from some other missile.
AN CULLINGS
The fifty-third anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation by Abraham Lincoln was celebrated by the National Emancipation Commemorative society at Mount Carmel Baptist church, Washington. Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation September 22, 1862.
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, was the principal speaker at the celebration, and congratulated the colored people of the country upon the progress made by them since their emancipation. He commended the society for having adopted September 22 as the day for the general observance and celebration throughout the country of the issuance of the proclamation by Lincoln.
"England and France," said he, "were on the eve of recognizing the southern confederacy as they were in need of cotton, and would have done so had not President Lincoln issued this preliminary proclamation, just when he did, threatening to forever abolish slavery in the cotton producing states should those states refuse to lay down their arms and come back into the Union. Not only should this day be celebrated by the colored people, but the people of all races throughout the country ought to unite in celebrating the anniversary of an event that was the first step calculated to making the Declaration of independence a living verity."
Prof Jesse Lawson in opening the celebration commended the colored people for their loyalty to country and flag, and urged the establishment of a chair in patriotism in American universities and institutions of learning in every section of the country.
H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the house, said that the abolition of Negro slavery in the United States gave freedom, in part, to all of the people in the country. Rev. W. A. Tayler of the Florida Avenue Baptist church, and N. W. Magowan, chairman of the ways and means committee of the commemorative society, also delivered addresses.
The society adopted resolutions recommending to the colored people of the country that they set apart September 22 of each year for a celebration of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation. The resolutions declared that no class of citizens in America will long suffer injustice because of the spirit of fair play of the American people and called attention to the recent decision of the Supreme court of the United States holding unconstitutional the "grandfather clause" of the constitutions of some of the states by which colored voters were discriminated against.
The resolutions provided for the appointment of a committee of 100 by the president of the society to make all necessary arrangements for the congress of colored Americans to be held in Washington next year, and recommended to the colored people of the country that they take steps to participate in the national exposition of colored Americans to be held in Washington in 1920.
The weather affects man in more ways, it appears, than many suspect. For example, it is believed that pressure variation due to fluctuating winds has peculiar pathological effects, that certain electrical conditions of the air induced by low atmospheric pressure have a pathological effect on nervous subjects and that solar radiation has peculiar effects which vary according to the season.
A New Yorker left in his will a provision that loaves of bread stamped with his name should be given to the poor and that the will should be published in five papers. Heirs have tried to break the last provision on grounds of eccentricity, but the court has said it must be done.
Two thousand persons appeared in silk at Paterson, N. J., recently at a parade to boom Paterson looms, hosters, gowns, suits and in some cases, among the men, even hats were of that material. Thus is progress made toward fixing the high cost of living.
The tuna, which until within a few years was known only as one of the greatest of game fish, is now the basis of an extensive canning industry. It is predicted that 1,000,000 cans of it will be garnered this year on the Pacific coast.
The Philippine islands produce approximately 10,000,000 gallons of alcohol yearly. About all of this is made from the sap of the nipa palm that grows in great abundance in various swamps of the country.

Sick Women Attention
Is it possible there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, which proves beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other one medicine in the world? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine for women—and every year we publish many new testimonials, all genuine and true. Here are three never before published:
From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.
PROVIDENCE, R. L.—"For the benefit of women who suffer as I have done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous prostration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and when I hear of a woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her to take your medicine."—Mrs. S. T. Richmond, 84 Progress Avenue Providence, R.I.
From Mrs. Maria Irwin, Peru, N.Y.
PERU, N.Y.—“Before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was very irregular and had much pain. I had lost three children, and felt worn out all the time. This splendid medicine helped me with nothing else had done, and I am thankful every day that I took it.”—Mrs. MARIA IRWIN, R.F.D. 1. Peru, N.Y.
From Mrs. Jane D. Duncan, W. Quincy, Mass.
SOUTH QUINCY, MASS.—"The doctor said that I ha

Judging From Comment, Bilkins Had a Good Deal to Learn About Photography.
Young Bilkins is an enthusiastic device of amateur photography. He always assists upon "taking" his family and friends posed in more or less artistic attitudes.
Not long ago there was an exhibition of the work of a local photographic club to which the young fellow belongs, and where were displayed the results of certain of his efforts to immortalize his family and friends. In one corner hung a group of figures twisted into the most extraordinary positions, the general effect being that of persons in various stages of paralysis.
"Who in the world are those queer-looking people?" asked someone.
"Oh, those are some of Bilkins' strained relations," said a bystander.
One on Rufus Choate
Judge Parry, in a recent article on "Rufus Choate, Advocate," says on occasion Choate would meet with his Sam Weller. Defending a prisoner for theft of money from a ship, a witness was called who had turned states' evidence and whose testimony went to prove that Choate's client had instigated the theft.
"Well," asked Choate, "what did he say? Tell us how and what he spoke to you."
"Why," said the witness, "he told us there was a man in Boston named Choate and he'd get us off if they caught us with the money in our boots."
Too Much for Them
It was a minstrel performance, and in the intervals between the songs the usual jokes were being perpetrated.
"What am de difference between an old maid and a married woman?" asked Sambo.
"I done give it up," replied Bones.
"Why," explained Sambo. "de old maid am lookin' for a husband ebery day, an' de married woman am lookin' for 'im ebery night!"
There was a pause, and several eld-erly gentlemen got up and stole softly into the night.
Speaking from Experience?
"Pa, what is the 'first line of defence?'"
"That depends on the circumstances, son. If this country were at war, the first line of defense would be the navy. When a man's married, it's usually the telephone line, by which he tries to square himself before he comes home."

VOTING FOR MEN AND NOT PARTIES is a popular slogan among Negroes of Oklahoma and it is a slogan which will mean our political salvation. It is erroneous to suppose that because a white man is a democrat that he is an enemy to the race, and equally erroneous to conclude that because a white man happens to be a republican he is our friend. We have friends in both parties and it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that we have enemies in both parties here in Oklahoma.
The logical things for us to do, therefore, is to count and encourage our friends in both parties and vote for them when they merit it as MEN and not as creatures of any political party. The policy of voting for men simply because they are republicans, democrats or any other partisan is dangerous for any people, but especially so for the Colored people.
Let's vote for men!
SINCE PRESIDENT WILSON'S ANNOUNCEMENT of his bethrotal some people are mean enough to think that it was not the tension caused by strained relations between this country and Germany that cause the president to wear a long face and closet himself for hours at a time but that it was something closer to his heart than the welfare of his country.
BY AUDITING the newspaper reports since the beginnig of the war in Europe it will be seen that the number of men killed woundede and taken prisoners during the first year of conflict is greater than there are men in the countries envolved in the war.
THEY MAY "CUSS" US OUT for supporting democrats but NO MAN has ever accused us of being disloyal to our people. Regardless of our political inclinations we are first, last and always for our people.
THE REPUBLICANS AND SOCIALISTS may have joined hands bue we stake our reputation for good guessing that they will never join hearts.
IT'S ONE DARN THING AFTER ANOTHER in Tulsa all the time. That's why we have the best town in the state.

involved and it will discover there were no mistakes made by the editor of The Tribune, that there were no statements published on mere hearsay and belief, that The Tribune in demanding the removal of Prof. Page from the presidency of Langston University had no ulterial motives and that we engaged in no "fine" politics as the ousted official pretends to believe.

When a moral issue in a community
become sa personal issue concerning
a man there is something radically
wrong somewhere. Is Goliath of Uni-
versity Hill moving heaven and earth
in an effort to send the editor of the
Tribune to the penitentiary in order
that he (an adopted), a favored and
favorite son of Oklahoma, may
become president for life of Langston
University?
From the beginning, with us, it was the safety and honor of the young girls of our race and for that honor we are willing to suffer, and, if need be, to die.—From the Oklahoma Tribune.
Or is the giant attempting to persecute the editor of The Tribune because we have shown the chiefs of public instruction and the taxpayers of the state the seamy side, the immoral structure and the gross deception practiced upon the people by the giant and his close benchmen?
Gas and Water Connections and General Plumbing, Repair Work See or Call
Or is the giant, we wonder, afraid that the supply of tender girls, ready, fresh from "college" and fully prepared as recruits for the red light districts in this state may play out?—is he, we ask, afraid the supply will run short if he is not retained at the head of the institution on University Hill?
The editor of The Tribune is ready and willing to go to the penitentiary if that is the price to be paid for defending the honor of Negro womanhood—for protecting the chastity of young colored girls in this state.
Okla
An editor of a New York magazine recently received a story of which the scene was laid in the state of Washington. He washed to have the story illustrated, and in order to obtain the best local detail he sent the manuscript to a young artist out in Washington. Before doing so, how ever he scrawled hastily across the top of the first page the address of the writer which did not otherwise appear on the manuscript. It was "Shelton Wash." With the story the editor sent a letter asking the artist to make a wash drawing of a certain effective scene and forward it as soon as possible. By return mail the editor received an anxious reply from the youthful artist, saying: "I note that you wish me to use Shelton wash. I do not know of any such wash nor do any of the dealers out here. If you can send me a tube I will be glad to make the drawing."
Has the Giant of University Hill been successful in throwing more dust in the eyes of the thoughtful or has he failed to longer bolster up that fabulous faith in himself to the end that thrift might follow fawning and the Negro race in Oklahoma pay the price of The System?
Or, may we ask, are his chief pleasures those of crushing and ruining every person, professional and business man at Langston or elsewhere who dare to step in the way of his colossal tread?
We believe with the philosophers of the ages that whom the gods destroy they first make mad—and thus believing we feel that the giant's fattulous campaign against us will prove to be of the variety which traditionally precedes a fall.
As the Tribune cases advance through the courts the public will become better acquainted with the facts

It has its good points also, hasn't it?

Why not get out and boost a little bit?

Army Physical Test.
The recommendations of the general staff officers that have been considering the proposal to abolish the 90-mile annual test ride now are before the chief of staff awaiting his action. It is recommended that the annual ride be discontinued and that officers, instead, be required to make a 20-mile horsesback ride or a 10-mile walk in one day every month. The proposed 10-mile walk for army officers is similar to that now exacted of officers of the navy and marine corps. Those advocating the change in the army believe that the proposed new requirements will be conductive to a satisfactory physical condition in that the exercise is distributed through the year, instead of being concentrated in a single supreme annual effort to keep up with the pace. The annual physical examination will be retained as a means of disclosing the physically incapacitated
The Noble Guards of Italy.
The noble guards, who have lost their commander, Prince Camillo Rospioglios, were drawn exclusively from the Roman aristocracy until about two years ago, when Pius X sanctioned the acceptance of recruits from any country, provided they were Catholics and could show the necessary number of quarterings. Their uniform—black tunic with gold epaulets, dark blue trousers and a gold-crested helmet—forms a striking contrast to the medieval attire of the Swiss guards, of which the most noticeable features are the enormous breeches and striped stockings. Noble guards and Palatine guards, who are a sort of papal militia, furnish a daily picket for the antechamber of the pope. For other police duties there are the papal carabinieri, whom the stranger meets at every corner of the Vatican. Altogether the papal army numbers about 600 men.

Coal From the Arctic
A few years ago, the idea of getting coal from Spitzbergen, one of the most desolate islands of the Arctic ocean, was a topic for romancers of the Sunday supplement type. Now it is a fact of considerable moment in many of the world's markets. A single company, financed chiefly by American capital, mined nearly 40,000 tons of coal from Spitzbergen last year. The deposit of fuel in the far North is said to be singularly easy to work. It comes in a single seam about four feet thick, stretching along the coast for 30 miles. The surrounding rock is so solid that timbering is not needed. The temperature is always below the freezing point in the present workings, which does away with the need of pumps. In fact the only real difficulty is that of getting men—and motion pictures have gone far to solve that problem. Yet for every ton of coal in Spitzbergen there are ten in Alaska of at least equal quality, closer to a hungry market. The arctic zone won't make a real dent in the fuel market till our big northwest territory gets in action.
Stop Slavery in Panama
Our attention is called by the Anti Slavery and Aborigines Protection society to the fact that following the publication of an article by our Melbourne correspondent in the Daily Chronicle which declared that slavery was flourishing in Papua (British New Guinea), an investigation was made by the Australian government and severe action has now been taken to bring an end to the conditions we described.
Among the allegations made were that native police threatened men with the destruction of their villages if they refused to sign on for a term of years; that many "boys" in one division were actually handcuffed for declining to come away at the bidding of certain professional recruiters, and that all of the able-bodied males of one village had been captured.—London Chronicle.

TO OUR READERS
Every family in this county is now a subscriber to various magazines and newspapers. The total amount of money paid for these publications probably amounts to several thousand dollars annually. It is money well spent, of course, because we must have something for the family to read. But if you can save about seventy-five per cent of this money, and still have all the papers and magazines you want, it is worth considering, is it not?
We have made arrangements whereby we can save this community hundreds of dollars by merely ordering their reading matter through our office. Our best offer is a club of four magazines with your own paper for only $1.18 a year.
You will find this big offer advertised on another page of this paper. Look up the advertisement and read all about this remarkable offer. Send us your order right in—mail it, telephone it, or bring it to us. and we will fix it up at once so that you can get your magazines.
If there is anything in the advertisement you do not understand, drop into our office sometime and let us explain all about it. It's the best clubbing offer we have ever seen, and we are anxious to have every reader take advantage of it.
To Save The Douglass Place
In spite of the fact that Dr. Booker T. Washington, a year or two ago, led an effort to raise $4,000 to cancel the mortgage on Cedar Hill Anacostoa, D. C., Frederick Douglass' home, left to the race by his wife (white) when she died some years ago, the mortgage still stands against the property. And Douglass, the greatest Afro-American! This is a sad commentary on this race of ours.-Cleveland Gazette.
The Detroit Leader suggests that the Colored papers of the country come to the rescue and save the historical Douglass home by taking public subscription.
The Star will take any subscriptions sent for this purpose and publish the names of subscribers and the amount subscribed.

THE TULSA STAR
INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
(Gly E. O. SELLERS. Acting Director of
PUBLIC SCHOOL. Course, the Moody
Pibble Institute. Chicago.
LESSON FOR OCTOBER 17.
ELISHA HEALS NAAMAN THE SYRIAN.
LESSON TEXT-II Kings 5:1-10, 14.
GOLDEN TEXT-I am Jehovah that healeth thee.—Ex. 15:26.
Read carefully the intervening Scripture following last Sunday's lesson to get the account of Elisha's activities. There is recorded the story of the poisoned fountain (2:19-22). The "hoodlum" gang (vv. 23, 24) which is a story for boys. Note: Elisha had nothing to do with the bears, nor does the record say that the bears killed the boys. Next the story of the Widow's oil (4:1-7). Finally, the suggestive stories of the Shunemite woman (vv. 8-37), and the feeding of the prophets and the people (vv. 38-44).
Now we come to Elisha's most famous experience, that with Naaman of Damascus. This city is reputed to be the oldest in the world and is situated about 100 miles (air line) northeast of Samaria. This event probably occurred between 904 and 894 B. C.
I. A Ministry in the Home, vv. 1-7. Naaman had all that heart could wish, seemingly. Exalted, rich, a great man, honorable and successful in his undertakings, "but he was a leaper." As such he is a type of the sinner, Leprosy begins practically in secret, is transmissible, may be ameliorated, but cannot be cured by man. In his home was one who knew the Lord, one who observed, who loved as well as served. This maid was a true servant, for she showed her master how to be rid of his malady. For all of his wealth Naaman was not happy. He knew and others would soon know his condition. His wife could not help him, and did not take the maid's message to him. Perhaps she did not rightly value it. But there was cooperation in that household evidently, for "one went in and told his lord" (v. 4). There was also co-operation between the home and the government, for the king of Syria sent a letter to the king of Israel (v. 5). The strength of any nation is in proportion to the strength, unity and loyalty of its homes. It is also in proportion to the care and interest which that government takes in its homes.
H. A Ministering Prophet (vv. 8-14).
The king of Syria thought he could buy everything, including the desired cure (vv. 5, 6). His letter brought great consternation to Israel's king, probably Jehoram. The value of the gifts presented, perhaps over $100,000, revealed the urgency of the case. But there was one in Israel who was not disturbed, for he knew more fully the power of Jehovah. Elisha is a type of Christ who offers not only to all lepers but to every unfortunate one "post" (Matt. 11:28-30). Elisha responded to the need of the nation (v. 8), as well as to the need of Naaman the leper, when he volunteered to become the champion of Jehovah (v. 7).
the prince came, however, filled with a sense of his importance and his pride stood in the way of his relief, hence the manner of Elisha's treatment. Waiting thus before the prophet's door Naaman is a type of the great of this earth who shall yet how before God's people (Isa. 60:1-3) and before his Son (Phil. 2:19). By human arguments Naaman was right (v. 12) and his rage was justified, but he must learn that as a suppliant he cannot dictate means nor methods. The rich and cultured sinner cannot select his own way of healing, nor be treated any differently than the poor and the ignorant. The river Jordan is a type of the judgment on sin. Sin must be judged by confession (Rom. 15:9, 18). Sin must be renounced before we can be cleansed (I Cor. 11: 34; I John 1:9). It was a slow, a patient, a public process through which Naaman must pass, but such had been the development of leprosy in his life. God had judged sin on Calvary (Rom. 8:3; I Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13) and as Naaman went down in the Jordan he took, in figure, the sinner's place, even as Jesus later took that place for us. (Matt. 3:13-15). Though inclined to act the fool, yet Naaman wisely harkened to his servant (v. 13) and obeyed the command of the prophet.
His cure came because he obeyed Jehovah: (a) He heard of one who could cure (v. 3); (b) he believed (v. 4); (c) he forsook his own thoughts (v. 11); (d) he accepted God's thoughts and methods (vv. 13, 14); (e) he took the sinner's place (vv. 10, 14); (f) he became clean after his obedience (vv. 14, 15).
There is evidence of a great moral effect in the life of Naaman following this experience (vv. 15-19).
He became an open reefor of the heathen gods and a professed follower of Jehovah when he returned to Damascus.
As such he became the ministering prince.
III. The Ministering Prince. (1) By public profession (see Rom. 10:9, 10; Matt. 10:32) (2) By a peculiar request which became a great object lesson in Damascus; (3) By a new purpose of heart which would change his future course of action.
HAD REAL IDEA OF ECONOMY
Jap Explains How Family Was Enabled to Use One Fan Two or Three Generations.
Among the Japanese economy is held to be a high virtue. Two old misers of Tokyo were one day discussing ways and means of saving.
"I manage to make a fan last about twenty years," said one, "and this is my system: I don't wastefully open the whole fan and wave it carelessly. I open only one section at a time. That is good for about a year. Then I open the next, and so on until the fan is eventually used up."
"Twenty years for a good fan!" exclaimed the other. "What sinful! ex-travagance! In my family we use a fan for two or three generations, and this is how we do it: We open the whole fan, but we don't wear it out by waving it. Oh, no! We hold it still, like this, under our nose, and wave our face!"—Everybody's.
George Wharton Pepper said at a luncheon at the Plattsburg training camp for officers:
"The methods of warfare have changed enormously in the past year. The sword, for example, is no longer carried. The sword has quite disappeared from war.
"A story comes from the Argonne about a French chasseur who took a German officer prisoner. The chasseur, a boy, a tyro, said to the officer:
"Give up your sword."
"But the officer shook his head and answered:
"I have no sword to give up. But won't my vitriol spray, my oil projector or my gas cylinder do as well?"
Just as He Had Said
"You remember selling me some hair-restorer when I called the other day to get shaved, you hoary-headed old thief?" roared the indignant customer. "You sold it under false pretences, sir. You said it would restore my head to its original condition."
"Well, didn't it work?" asked the barber
"Work? No. It's taken off what little hair I used to have, and I am as bald as the pavement now."
"That's quite right, sir. No false pretence about that. I said it would restore your head to its original condition, and you know, sir, most of us are born bald."
She was looking for an apartment.
"It must be in a first class neighborhood," she said, "and it must have ten large rooms, three baths and all modern improvements, and I won't pay a cent over $40 a month."
"I know the very place you're looking for," replied the agent, "but if you want to find out how to get there you'll have to consult a clergyman."
"Do you miss the summer boarders?"
"Kind o'," replied Farmer Cortoscel.
"A summer boarder is right comfortin' to have around from time to time. He ain't nig so bossy an fault findin' as the hired men."
Other people may have good taste, but, of course, yours is a little better.
Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service Says:
These "nourishing and essential components" are the priceless mineral phosphates of the grain, known as the "tissue salts," indispensable for perfect health of body, brain and nerves.
Everywhere food scientists and physicians are sounding a like note of warning, for a host of ills is following the pernicious practise of casting out these elements in the milling process, and that, simply to make the flour look white and pretty. Neurasthenia, anemia, Bright's disease, constipation, rickets, and a lowered resistance against disease in general, are some of these ills.
made of whole wheat and barley, retains all the nutriment of the grains and those "essential components"—the mineral elements. This splendid food was devised years ago to supply this very lack in ordinary food and fortify the system against the onslaughts of disease. It does it wonderfully well.

CALOMEL SICKENS! IT SALIVATES! DON'T STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED
I Guarantee “Dodson's Liver Tone” Will Give You the Best Liver and Bowel Cleansing You Ever Had—Don't Lose a Day's Work!
Calomel makes you sick; you lose a day's work. Calomel is quicksilver and it salivates; calomel injures your liver.
If you are blious, feel lazy, sluggish and all knocked out, if your bowels are constipated and your head aches or stomach is sour, just take a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead of using sickening, salivating calomel. Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medicine. You'll know it next morning because you will wake up feeling fine, your liver will be working, your headache and dizziness gone, your stomach will be sweet and your bowels regular. You will feel like working. You'll be cheerful; full of vigor and ambition.
Your druggist or dealer sells you a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone.
I am selling millions of bottles of Dodson's Liver Tone to people who have found that this pleasant, vegetable, liver medicine takes the place of dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound, reliable guarantee. As your druggist or storekeeper about me
NOT AS HE EXPRESSED THEM
Teamster's Words Would Have Required Adjustment Before Their Use in the Pulit.
A man was brought before a police court charged with abusing his team and using loud and profane language on the street. One of the witnesses was a pious old darky, who was submitted to a short cross-examination.
"Did the defendant use improper language while he was beating his horses?" asked the lawyer.
"Well, he talk mighty loud, suh."
"Did he indulge in profanity?"
The witness seemed puzzled. The lawyer put the question in another form:
"What I mean, Uncle Abs, is—did he use words that would be proper for your minister to use in a sermon?"
"Oh, yes suh," the old man replied with a grin that revealed the full width of his immense mouth; "but dey'd have to be 'ang'd difrunt."—Everybody's Magazine

Getting Even.
"The cook asked for a week off to get married, so I gave it to her."
"I don't think I would have done that. You can't spare her very well now."
"I know I can't, but it was the only way I saw to ever get even with her."
Graduating by Post.
"Dad, what's a postgraduate?"
"A fellow who emerges from a correspondence school, I imagine."
The rule in politics is that the side that owns the steam roller use it.
under my personal guarantee that it will clean your sluggish liver better than nasty calomel; it won't make you sick and you can eat anything you want without being salivated. Your druggist guarantees that each spoonful will start your liver, clean your bowels and straighten you up by morning or you can have your money back. Children gladly take Dodson's Liver Tone because it is pleasant tasting and doesn't gripe or cramp or make them slick.
I am selling millions of bottles of Dodson's Liver Tone to people who have found that this pleasant, vegetable, liver medicine takes the place of dangerous calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound, reliable guarantee. Ask your druggist or storekeeper about me.

BEST WAYS TO COOK BACON
Meat Is Too Frequently Wasted Because Insufficient Thought Is Bestowed Upon It.
Bacon is an extravagant article in the list of cooking materials because of its increased price and the fact that often twice as much as is needed is used for garnishing other foods.
This delectable meat will probably never be low-priced again, yet it will always be a great addition to the menu, so that to know the best ways of using it without waste is a necessity if one is to cook well.
The drippings from bacon are the best sort of shortening for cookies and everyday pastry; therefore, every bit of the fat that renders out in cooking should be strained and saved for such uses. This reduces the first cost of the meat very much, for the shortening bill has soared with the price of pork.
All left-over bacon makes excellent seasoning for meat loaves and may be nicely browned for garnishing by being dipped into egg batter and then into fine crumbs and placed in a hot oven, on a bacon rack, until golden brown.
If you have never broiled bacon on a rack you have a culinary treat in store, for even inferior bacon becomes lt tasting when broiled so and best bacon delicious. Any wire broiler or oven rack may be used; the slices are spread out, just touching, not covering, one another, on it and placed over a dripping pan in a hot oven.
Sometimes bacon is as salty as salt can make it and requires soaking in hot water after it is cut; after such treatment the salt is not too apparent.
The best of sausage can be made at home with the following ingredients: One pound of veal, one pound of fresh pork, one cupful of bacon chopped and one cupful of cracker crumbs. Grind the veal and pork fine, add crumbs and bacon, seasoning of pepper and sage with little salt, as the bacon supplies this. Grind the mixture again and shape into cakes and fry. Cold meat of any sort may be used in place of the veal.
GOOD LUNCHEON FOR CHILD
Delicacies the Youngster Will Appreciate and That Will Keep Him in Best of Health.
Fairy Apples.—Pare and core enough tart cooking apples to fill a baking dish; cover them with sugar, and put a little cold water in the dish, also several slices of lemon and two cloves. Then pour a little melted butter over the apples and bake them until tender. Serve them cold, with a blob of fruit juice put on the top of each and whipped cream about them.
Ambrosia.—This delicious dessert could be an occasional treat, as it is rather troublesome to make. It requires grated cocoanut, sliced oranges and bananas, sugar and a wee taste of lemon juice. Fill a dish with layers of the different fruits, putting sugar over each one, and continue in this way until the ingredients are all in. Let the dish "blend" while in a cool place before serving. Fresh cocoanut is needed, and if the milk of the fruit is sweet this may be added to the dessert.
Brown Sugar Sandwiches.—For the children incessantly craving sweets brown sugar is an excellent thing to keep in the house. Spread it thickly on buttered white bread and put the slices together so as to make narrow sandwiches.
Quick Ginger-Cake Pudding—Get any sort of small or large ginger or molasses cakes from the grocer and cover them with a custard made of boiling hot milk into which several eggs are beaten up. Pour the milk gradually into the eggs, stirring vigorously all the while; sweeten and pour over the cakes, allowing them to stand until they have "drunk" up a good deal of the custard. Serve warm or cold.
Apple Pudding.
Pare and core one-half dozen not very tart apples. Butter a granite saucepan and set in apples with very little water. Add one cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of brandy and a dash of nutmeg. Put over a slow fire, cover and let simmer without cooking hard till apples are tender. Take up when done, being careful not to break them, and set away to cool, pouring over them the sirup in which they were cooked. When quite cold and ready to serve put in a glass dish, sprinkle them over with fine macaroni crumbs and send to table.
Pressed Flank of Beef
Wipe, remove superfluous fat and roll a flank of beef; put in a kettle, cover with boiling water and add one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful peppercorns, a bit of bay leaf and a bone or two which may be at hand; cook slowly until meat is in shreds. There should be but little liquor in the kettle when meat is done. Arrange meat in deep pan, pour over liquor, cover and press with a heavy weight. Serve cold, thinly sliced.
Orange Drink.
Orange juice can be made to serve as a most delicious drink if only a little thought and time be spent upon it. Serve chilled in tall glasses, with some diced banana, a grapefruit cut and seeded, a bit of pineapple or any seasonable fruit.
To Wash Silk Lace
Silk lace should be soaked in milk over night, then washed in warm soapsuds. Rinse and pin cut smooth on a clean ironing board until dry. Do not iron it.

First, get a coffee that has been thoroughly aged when green. Proper aging changes the raw, strong taste of the bean to a mellow, rich flavor.
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. You get a coffee thoroughly aged when green, skillfully and uniformly roasted; then guarded from moisture and odors in special, sanitary, sealed packages.

Country Has Seen Little Change While the Rest of the World Has Been Advancing.
In journeying to Assouan from Thebes the traveler cannot fail to be impressed by the two beautiful temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. The former, situated almost midway in the journey, is of special interest because it is the best preserved of all the Egyptian temples. It was a center of the cult of Osiris, whose death and rising again was celebrated every spring within its close. The festival began with deep mourning. Processions of priests marched around the walls deploring the death of their god in the contest with the evil one. In the sanctuary lay the mummy, personified by a priest, while a priestess who represented Isis wept over her dead lord and begged for his return. At last the resurrection morning came, the mummy arose, and joy reigned among the worshipers. Again processions formed upon the walls and, marching with banners and musical instruments, proclaimed the risen lord to those who stood about.
A few miles away is Kom Ombo, the beautiful temple of Sebek, the crocodile god, whose devotees hated the worshipers of Osiris as fiercely as in later times the followers of the prophet hated the Coptic monks whom they found before them in this very valley. Like Edfu, it dates from the days of the Ptolemies, who built both buildings on ancient sites. The rulers of that time were Hellenists, but their architecture was that of ancient Egypt, so firmly rooted in the land were the old dynastic traditions. Persian, Greek and Roman came and carved their names upon the temples, but left no mark upon the unchanging spirit of Egypt. Not even today is there any alteration, for still the houses in the villages are built as of old, and over them rise the pigeon towers, veritable pylons, exactly like the towered gateways of the ancient temples."—Royal Temples of the Nile," by William Warfield in Travel.
Center of Population.
For more than a century a careful calculation has been made every ten years to fix the exact center of population. When the census was taken in 1790 the center of population was found to be near Annapolis, Md., well east of Chesapeake bay. A decade later the center had moved to a point just above the city of Washington. Throughout the history of the country the population center has moved steadily westward at the rate of about 100 miles every ten years. The center of population of our 100,000,000 lies in Illinois near its western boundary. In another decade it will probably cross the Mississippi river.—Christian Herald.

Largest Steamship Cargo.
On its last trip to the Pacific coast from Oriental ports, the Great Northern's steamship Minnesota carried what its owners say was the largest cargo ever shipped in one bottom in the history of shipping. The total of the cargo is estimated at nearly 30,000 tons. Included were 37,500 bales of hemp from Manila bound for Chicago, and 2,730 bags of peanuts for the Pacific coast. From Kobe came 37,500 chests of tea for overland points via the Great Northern road, principally Chicago, New York, Montreal and Toronto. There were 43,430 bags of Manchurian maize and more than 5,500 cases of porcelain from Japanese ports. From Yokohama was shipped treasure amounting to 1,500,000 yen in gold coin.—Wall Street Journal.
