TO FIND MOTHER Indian Woman Has Not Been or Heard From Her Parent in Thirteen Years. Kansas City, Mo.—An Indian woman about twenty-four years old with a child almost eleven years old was in the federal employment offices recently seeking aid in finding her mother from whom she has not heard in thirteen years. The woman, who says her name is Juanita Myers, says her husband died a few years ago, leaving an estate in Chicago of $20,000, but that she has been unable to collect any part of it. Her child, she says, is with relatives in Chicago. Her mother, she states, has been twice married since she last saw her, and her father, married her mother under the name of Johnson. The mother was a Cherokee Indian. Father of 22 Dies at 99. Marinette, Wis.—Peter Benedict, aged ninety-nine, the father of 22 children, the oldest of whom is seventy-eight, died here recently.

SHE WAS AFRAID TO EAT Greek Girl Worried Sick on Trip to Coast to Meet Her Husband-to-Be. Sacramento, Cal.—Unable to speak English and fearing to make it known she had money, lest harm befall her, Miss Vasilliki, nineteen years old, traveling from her home in Greece to Sacramento to meet her husband-to-be, almost starved during the four days of her journey from New York city, through 21 states. Unfamiliar with the customs of this country and thinking that her journey would end within an hour or so, she did not eat on the entire trip, because of her fear to make it known that she had over $100 in her possession. Almost completely exhausted, she staggered into the arms of the Y. W. C. A. guide. Through an interpreter her story was learned. Her lover, James Kallas, has been located at Kennett, Shasta county, and the wedding will take place as soon as she has fully recovered from her experience of four days without eating. IS SAVED BY WOODEN LEG Bear, When Surprised, Claws Horseback Rider's Artificial Limb. Sunbury, Pa.—John Davidson, a Catawissa mountain farmer, who lives near the town of that name, says he is glad he has a wooden leg, for it saved him serious hurts in a battle with a bear. Davidson says he was riding horse back along the Susquehanna, which skirts dense mountain growths at that point, when he saw a black bear fishing in the river. It would dive down and come up with a fish in its mouth. Angered by his approach bruin dropped a fish and gave chase, but Davidson drew his revolver and fired. He missed, and the animal came on after him and bit and clawed at his wooden leg. He fired again, and then a freight train approached on a railroad near by. This, together with the tooting of the locomotive whistle, frightened the beast and it dropped to its feet and ambled off into the woods. The farmer exhibited a torn pair of trousers and lacerated wooden leg to his friends as proof of the truth of his story. SUMMER WHITE HOUSE SELECTED FOR NEXT YEAR It is decided that President Wilson, instead of returning to Cornish, N. H., next year, will spend the summer with his bride at Shadow Lawn, the home of the late John A. McCall at Long Branch, N. J. It is a magnificent estate, suitable in every way to accommodate the presidential establishment. It includes about thirty acres of beautiful lawns and terraced gardens, a lake and tennis courts. Golf links are near by. ENTRANCE HALL OF SHADOW LAWN © by MORRIO This is the magnificent entrance hall and main staircase of Shadow Lawn, the McCall home at Long Branch, N. J., which has been selected by President Wilson as the summer White House for next year. NORTHEAST OKLA. DISTRICT TEACHERS ASSOCIATION. IN SESSION AT MUSKOGEE.

On another page we publish the complete list of appointments for the entire Eastern Conference. As many of the Conference ministers are known to our local parishioners this list will be of considerable interest. The Blue Ribbon Club gave a public banquet in the Cleaver-Cherry Hall Thursday night, which has been pronounced the most classical of its kind ever seen in Tulsa. All the churches of Tulsa observed the Thanksgiving Spirit Thursday and Thursday night by holding services and serving big dinners. AGED MAN REPAYS KINDNESS Missouri Girl's Reward Was One-Fourth of Zinc Mine Which Netted $15,000. Columbus, Mo.—Miss Gretchen Detchemendy, twenty, of Carthage, Mo. has sold for $15,000 a one-fourth interest in a zinc mine which she received from J. A. Langston, seventy-five, a wealthy resident of Springfield, Mo. because she was kind to him and entertained him while at a summer resort last year in Colorado. Miss Detchemendy and Langston became fast friends during their stay in Colorado, and when she returned home he sent her a deed for the interest in the mine near Commerce, Okla. She began receiving dividends on her interest in the mine last March and was getting $100 a week when she sold because "you never can tell," she says, "when the price of zinc is going down or the ore deposit is going to go 'blind.'" PREACHER PAID IN EGGS Circuit Rider's Story Told at Conference of Methodist Church Causes Some Surprise. St. Louis.—The hardships of a Methodist circuit rider were brought forcibly to the attention of the city ministers attending the St. Louis conference of the Methodist Episcopal church when one country preacher reported that in the last two months he had received half of a hog and a great many eggs, but no money. He had sent twelve dozen eggs to the district superintendent, he said. Another circuit rider said he had received $19 in two months, and a third that he had received no money, but that his parishioners had promised to buy him a horse before winter and had entertained him liberally in their homes. SPERM WHALE BATTLES SHIP Monster Hits and Nearly Founders Whaling Vessel in Alaakan Waters. Seattle.—Showing the effects of a desperate battle with a huge sperm whale while ten miles south of Mount Edgecombe, Kruof island, near the entrance of Sitka sound, on June 15, the whaling steamer Star III, Capt. L. P. Halls, Gunner G. Earling, reached Eagle Harbor after a successful season. While taking one of the big mammals, which members of the crew describe as "just like an ocean liner," the big fellow charged the steamer, damaging the gunwale, second towing chock on the starboard side and bending and crumpling a plate in the bulwarks for a distance of ten feet. The weight of the whale nearly swamped the little steamer. ndment! Anderson Must Be Colored Man CHILDREN OF WOLD-BE INDIAN DISMISSED FROM WHITE SCHOOL. Must Now Re-Enter Colored Schools or Remain at Home. A. W. Anderson, the Negro milkman who objected to being called "Colored" has played his last trump as an "Indian" and hereafter must content himself with his own race. Before moving to the country Anderson lived among the Colored people of Tulsa, worshiped with them and his children went to the Colored schools. After going to the country, however, he decided that he was an Indian and sent his children to the Osage school. Last week the principal of the school heard that they were Colored children and had been enrolled in the Colored schools here. He immediately phoned to Prof. J. W. Hughes, principal of the Dunbar Grade Schools, who confirmed the report and the children of the "heap big Injun" were sent home. This was a great humiliation to the children, and an incident which every true hearted man reprets, because it is symbolical of an unjust social system. Nevertheless, it was a deserving rebuke to Anderson, and a lesson which he should not soon forget. It is rumored that there are two teachers in the Colored schools, who at times try to hide their racial identity. It is no credit to any person to deny their race, and such people are always detested by loyal men and women of all races. PUPILS OF THE DUNBAR GRADE SCHOOL REMEMBER THE POOR Twenty Thanksgiving Baskets Distributed on Eve of Thanksgiving. Heavily laden with good things to eat Prof. J. W. Hughes, principal of the Dunbar Grade School and Dr. Bridgwater in the latters buggy visited every destitute Colored home in Tulsa Wednesday and left a big box of groceries to cheer the hearts of the unfortunate inmates on Thanksgiving morning. The supplies represented the contributions of the pupils of the Dunbar grade school, except two boxes, which were given by the United Charity organization, white. Many were made happy. SENIOR CLASS OF DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL GIVES CONCERT. Packed House Witnesses Excellent Performance by Home Talent. "Betsy Baker" was the title of a drama rendered at the Dreamland Theatre Thursday night by the Senior class of the Dunbar High School. The Theatre was crowded until standing room was at a premium and the audience manifested a keen interest and satisfaction with the amateur performers. Miss Hazel McDaniel, one of the teachers in the High school an her pupils furnished the music for the occasion, which was extremely good. PROMINENT POLITICIAN AND RACE MAN. DIES SUDDENLY (Special to the Star.) Githrie, Okla., Nov. 22.—The funeral of John W. Capers, a prominent Negro politician of its city was held here today. Mr. Capers was stricken last Friday night with paralysis while he was away from home and was taken to his home in an conscious state. He died early Saturday morning without regaining consciousness. A great deal of excitement was caused by his death as he had many friends among both white and Colored people. BAGGAGE MAN FEEDS THANKS- GIVING DINNER TO 27 KIDS. That M. J. Latham, a baggage and transfer man of this city is a philanthropist at heart was verified Thursday when he served a turkey and chicken Thanksgiving dinner to 27 hungry boys and girls at his residence on North Greenwood in the Gurley Hill Addition. Mr. and Mrs Latham were very elated over the affair but the kids were even more so. PAGE TWO OPEN BOATS ARE NOT SAFE PLACE AMERICAN OFFICIALS DECIDE AUSTRIAN DISPOSITION OF PASSENGERS DEFICIENT. LANSING IS NOT SATISFIED Survivor Declares Shelling Continued New York Doctor in Affidavit Asserts Amcona Attacked Attorney Halt Washington—While the United States will await for the Austrian reply to Ambassador Penfield's inquiry concerning the circumstances under which the Italian liner Ancona was sunk, it was stated officially that the placing of American citizens in small boats on the high seas was not regarded as according them "a place of safety" within the meaning of the term as used in international law. In its correspondence with Germany over the Frye case the American government expressed the view that open boats did not constitute a place of safety. This was broadened Thursday by an official interpretation to apply to American citizens whether traveling on belligerent or neutral ships. Officials qualified their assertions somewhat by stating that if a vessel was destroyed within a few miles of shore life boats would be regarded as safe, but that weather conditions and the opportunity given for passengers to be transferred even then were pertinent circumstances. From these intimations it was generally believed that the American government would develop the entire question of submarine warfare further in correspondence with Austria. The fact that the Ancona actually was torpedoed while a number of passengers still were aboard, is regarded as the chief circumstance upon which representations will be made. Affidavit of American Survivor. The first official report alleging that the submarine continued shelling the Ancona after she had halted, reached the State Department in a consular dispatch outfitting an affidavit made by Dr. Cecile L. Grell of New York, officially the only known native American survivor of the tragedy. The text of the message which was sent by American Consul Mason of Algiers, follows: "Cecile Grell position not conclusive as to whether any effort to escape by Ancona. First intimation danger when she was in dining saloon. Disturbance on deck, stoppage or blowing of whistle, followed shortly by shots which struck vessel. "Testimony proved that bombardment lasted forty-five minutes and was continued after vessel had stopped, killing and wounding many persons. She saw destruction vessel by torpedo; saw red and white flag and six cannon on submarine. Knows nothing as to other Americans. Information Algiers and Bizerta considered to demonstrate its conclusively that thirteen vessels were sunk from 3rd to 7th November by submarines, going from Gibraltar to ward Ancona." THESE BATTLESHIPS ARE WHALES U. S. Will Have Two of 36,000 Tons Each. Washington—Tentative plans are being considered for two 36,000-ton battleships to be included in the first year's part of the five-year building program congress will be asked to approve. There are no warships so large afloat anywhere in the world now, and the biggest ever designed for the American navy was the 32,000-ton California type, two of which were authorized last year and bids for which have just been received. Part of the increased displacement in the newest ships will be due to changed hull construction to provide additional torpedo defense bulkheads. While the general characteristics of the ships have not been disclosed, it is probable they will have increased armament and speed. The navy has developed a sixteen-inch rife of which no use has yet been made and the new ships may carry ten or more of these if developments of the European war indicate the wisdom of mounting them. The largest guns now affloat are the fifteen-inch weapons of European navies, which the American fourteen-inch rife is said to equal for all practical purposes. Maximum speed of American battleships now built or authorized is less than twenty-one knots, although European first line ships go considerably above that. It is considered probable that a speed of perhaps twenty-five knots will be sought hereafter. Hillstrom Finally Executed. Salt Lake City—Governor William Spry, with the unanimous concurrence of the state board of pardons, telegraphed President Wilson that he would not interfere further in the case of Joseph 'Hillstrom, sentenced to be executed for murder November 19. The governor's telegram was in answer to one received from the president requesting a further reconsideration of the case. Arrangements for the execution of Hillstrom had been completed and he was shot to death. ALLIES TO BLOCKADE GREECE KING CONSTANTINE WILL BE FORCED TO DECIDE Whether He Will Carry Out His Treaty Obligations and Send Troops London — The entente allies have demanded that Greece either join with them and fulfill her treaty obligations to Serbia or demobilize and to impress King Constantine that they mean what they say, the allies have declared a commercial blockade of the Hellenic empire, according to dispatches from Athens. Lord Kitchener, the British war secretary, who had an hour's audience with the king of Greece and afterward saw Premier Skouloudis, told them what the allies could and would do unless the demands were conceded. The Greek cabinet met to consider the situation and a few hours should show what Greece's future attitude will be. The Greek government again has affirmed its friendliness to the allies, but has not yet taken the steps required to prevent Greece from being counted among the friends of the central powers. The entente powers will not permit any delay as the position of the Serbian armies makes any prolongation of the present uncertainty impossible. Already the Serbians are making what may be their last stand before Monastir and also on the plains of Kosovo. The Bulgarians, it is true, are being held up by unfavorable weather conditions, but they must be almost at the gates of the Macedonia capital by this time, while the Austro-Germans are slowly but surely pressing back the northern army. The Germans announce the capture of Novbazar and are therefore on the direct road to Mitrovitza, which has been the Serbian capital since Nish fell into the hands of the Bulgarians. Other armies are pressing in from the north, the northwest, the northeast and the east, and even the Montenegrins, who held their positions for so long, are being forced back. Of the French and British troops in the south, no news has been received. Apparently they are only holding their positions and can no longer hope to be of assistance to the Serbians except by keeping a large number of Bulgarians engaged. According to German reports, an effort will be made by the French and British to save the Serbians by sending troops through Montenegrio and Albania, but with poor orads, it will take a long time for them to reach the battlefield. There is no change on the other battle fronts. The Italians are still fighting for Goritza and the Russians are regaining ground which they lost along the Styr river last week. Czartorysk, a little village unknown before the war and which became famous for the bitter fighting that has occurred around it is again in the possession of the Russians who evidently let the Germans enter simply to shell them out the next day. The German attack, which met with initial success was doomed to final failure as the country around is a great marsh and in the opinion of Petrograd, the offensive was taken for political, not military purposes with the object of impressing the Roumanians. In Courland the weather has enforced idleness upon both armies. A Bucharest dispatch is authority for the statement that the first contingent of German troops has arrived at Constantinople. STERN PUNISHMENT IS COMING To Those Who Fight the European War in the U. S. Washington—Official notice of the United State's government's intention to employ all its resources in punishing those responsible for factory explosions, intimidation of labor and other acts of violence against American industries, is coupled in a statement issued by Attorney General Gregory with an appeal to state authorities to be equally vigorous in dealing with lawlessness beyond the reach of federal statutes. "Information indicating attacks upon lawful American industries and commerce through incendiary fires and explosions in factories, threats to intimidate employees and other acts of violence," says the statement, "has so often developed during the past few months as to demand searching investigations and prosecutions. The department of justice will continue unremittingly to investigate all such acts and prosecute. President Rushing His Message Washington—President Wilson has put aside practically all other public business to devote his entire time to completing his third annual message to congress, which he plans to read personally at a joint meeting of the senate and house on December 7. He has given instructions that none but important engagements be made for him. The president is working hard to have the message in the hands of the public printer before Thanksgiving day.

THE TULSA STAR FLYING BOAT FOR NEW YORK NAVAL MILITIA Copyright Underwood & Underwood The first steps in the formation of a flying service for the land forces of New York state were taken when the flying boat N. Y. N. 1, which was presented to the naval militia of the Empire state by Glenn H. Curtis, was christened by little Olive Whitman, daughter of Governor and Mrs. Whitman. The flying boat, a 100 horse-power Curtis of the latest type being built for the United States navy, is the first machine to be acquired by any state for military or naval purposes. The gift was made through the national aeroplane fund, by which the Aero Club of America hopes to supply the various National Guards and the Naval Militia with suitable air craft.

HOW GERMANS CROSSED THE SELWIANKA During the recent drives to reach Dvinsk the Germans found all progress across the River Selwanka blocked, due to the destruction by the retreating Russians of the bridges spanning the stream. The engineering division of the Teuton forces hastily constructed footbridges of logs across the river, permitting the infantry to cross. MRS. JESSIE D. HAMPTON M. Mrs. Jessie D. Hampton of New York has been chosen by the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage to transact the $20,000 business that will be done December 13 when 6,000 women from all parts of the United States parade in Washington to impress congress with the necessity of passing the Susan B. Anthony amendment granting their sisters the right of franchise. The pageant will cost $10,000 to stage, and the suffragists are sure that they will receive more than that from the sale of seats, concessions, etc. Belgrade. Belgrade, the capital of the kingdom of Serbia, which has now fallen into the hands of the Germans, has gradually, for many years past, been losing its old, Turkish aspect, becoming more modern, more European. The history of the city for nearly a thousand years has been one of continual contests. The walls have disappeared since 1862; the last and finest of the five gates is demolished in 1868, and the citadel is not up to the requirements of modern warfare. The manufactures of Belgrade consist of arms, cutlery, saddlery, silk goods, carpets, etc. The chief buildings in the city are the royal and episcopal palaces, the government houses, the cathedral, barracks, bazaars, national theater, and various educational institutions. The population is about 70,000. BUSINESS IN CANADA IS GOOD Successful Crops and Big Yields Help the Railway. The remarkable fields that are reported on the wheat crop of Western Canada for 1915 bear out the estimate of an average yield over the three western provinces of upward of 25 bushels per acre. There is no portion of that great west of 24,000 square miles in which the crop was not good and the yields abundant. An American farmer who was induced to place under cultivation land that he had been holding for five years for speculative purposes and higher prices, says that he made the price of the land out of this year's crop of oats. No doubt, others, too, who took the advice of the Department of the Interior to cultivate the unoccupied land, have done as well. But the story of the great crop that Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta produced this year is best told in the language of the railways in the added cars that it has been necessary to place in commission, the extra trains required to be run, the increased tonage of the grain steamers. It is found that railway earnings continue to improve. The C. P. R. earnings for the second week of October showed an increase of $762,000 over last year, the total being only $310,000 below the gross earnings of the corresponding week of 1913, when the Western wheat crop made a new record for that date. The increase in C. P. R. earnings for the corresponding week of that year was only $351,000, or less than half of the increase reported this year. The grain movement in the West within the past two weeks has taxed the resources of the Canadian roads as never before, despite their increased facilities. The C. P. R. is handling 2,000 cars per day, a new record. The G. T. R. and the C. N. R. are also making new shipment records. The other day the W. Grant Morden, of the Canada Steamships Company, the largest freighter of the Canadian fleet on the Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of 476,315 bushels, a new record for Canadian shipping. Records are "going by the board" in all directions this fall, due to Canada's record crop. The largest Canadian wheat movement through the port of New York ever known is reported for the period up to October 15th, when since shipments of the new crop began in August, 4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded for England, France and Italy. This is over half as much as was shipped of American wheat from the same port in the same period. And, be it remembered, Montreal, not New York, is the main export gateway for Canadian wheat. New York gets the overflow in competition with Montreal.—Advertisement. Not a Booklover. After spending the summer in a mountain hamlet in Tennessee, the visitor hired a native to help pack up.

(Incorporated) OKLAHOMA THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A revival of old memories, harking back to the antebellum days when he, as a boy, was sold many times on the auction block as a chattel and finally, at the age of seventeen, learning of the war to free the Negroes, he escaped from his master and found refuge in a camp of Federal soldiers, was occasioned a few days ago in the mind of Rev. J. Preston Watson of Pueblo, Colo., by the receipt of a letter from Thomas Gannon, an old soldier now residing at Monte Vista, Colo. It was Gannon, then a first lieutenant in the Ninth Missouri cavalry, and later promoted to captain, 54 years ago, who formed a liking for the fugitive colored boy and took him in. Throughout the war, until the close four years later, Watson remained with Gannon. Then they separated with the understanding that Watson was to go to Gannon's home and under his instruction learn the tinner's trade. But alternating circumstances intervened. Although in the years each frequently tried to find a trace of the other, their efforts proved in vain until two years ago Watson, a veteran pastor who had done nearly 40 years service for the African Methodist church, learned that Captain Gannon was living near Leadville. This being in the district which Watson toured as presiding elder, he renewed his search and finally found Captain Gannon, a feeble, gray haired man, at that time just recovering from an operation. "Of course neither of us knew the other," remarked the Rev. Mr. Watson in telling of the meeting. "When I knew Gannon in war times he was a square shouldered young man with a long black mustache and bushy black hair. Half a century later I found him an old man, little resembling his former self. But the old friendship still was there. He seemed might glad to see me, and for two hours we talked over old times. Then later he came to my house and we sat up all night long talking old times." Reminiscently in his letter received a few days ago Mr. Gannon said: "Again I recall an incident—the colored boy who wandered into camp, a fugitive from slavery, meek, humble, seeking protection. My boys in blue treated him with kindness and sympathy and I soon realized his faithful services; honest, truthful and diligent, employing his leisure moments in the efforts to learn to read that he might be helpful to his fellow freemen. Now, how well he has succeeded. From a humble servant to a devoted servant of the Lord and zealous in the uplift of his people." Born near Lynchburg Va., Watson was sold when a baby with his mother to Robert Barnett Bowling Green, Pike county, Mo. When four years old his mother died and from that time until ten he was sold five times on the auction block in Missouri. Educated through his own efforts entirely, Rev. Mr. Watson is one of the prominent retired pastors of his church in the West. He has lived in Pueblo, first 20 years ago and again for the last nine years, and has been pastor of both the St. Paul's and St. John's A. M. E. churches. Mrs Watson is superintendent of the colored orphanage at Pueblo. When white men discuss the Indian problem the discussion generally has to do with a scheme to get the Indian's money. An optimist is a man who makes a living in town. A pessimist is one who earns his on a farm. "Banneker, the Negro astronomer," was born at Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, a few miles from Baltimore, several years before the Revolutionary war. He learned to read while doing farm work and managed to study and become quite proficient in mathematics. In his study of astronomy he was encouraged and assisted by Andrew Ellicott, an astronomer and civil engineer of scientific attainments and founder of Ellicott's mills and connected with some large enterprises. Ellicott was a friend of Washington and when he was employed to survey the District of Columbia and locate the city of Washington he gave employment to Banneker. After this Banneker made astronomical calculations and published 'almanacs which were used in Maryland and some other states. Thomas Jefferson sent one of the almanacs to the French Academy of Sciences and the secretary of the navy wrote Banneker a complimentary letter. He died in Baltimore in 1806 and many scientific societies bore testimony to the correctness of his mathematical and astronomical work. Many years after his death, J. H. B. La Every community produces a citizen or two whose chief ambition is to make a living exhibiting a five-legged calf. A woman can get more into a trunk, but a man has something "on" her when it comes to stowing a derby hat safely in a suitcase. What, mentioning him quite casually, became of the old-fashioned man who referred to the Bible as "the Word?" AN' CULLINGS In a communication to the Houston Post D. Porter, principal of the Brenham Normal and Industrial college, writes: Prof. E. L. Blackshear, with his dogged tenacity has succeeded in organizing some of the best Negro farmers in Texas into a 'farmers' congress," having them to come annually and spend from six to eight days in our state school, where they can get strong help by the way of lectures and coming in contact with the actual experimental work that cultivates them a strong love for their farms and at the same time broadening their views upon the plans of getting better results from their many productive farms. And many of our boys are laying their diplomas in the bottom of their trunks and taking a part with their fathers in the development of their farms. They are no longer looking at labor as a disgrace, but are rolling up their sleeves, and taking a part in the various communities in whatever vocation they find best to be pursued and are thereby making home worth while. This kind of teaching was the end in mind of the tounders of our state school. Blackshear is a southern Negro, and thoroughly understands southern conditions and his constant lectures and conversations with the students of that institution have so thoroughly fitted them not with a prejudiced mind to his brother in white, but with a knowledge to go, hand in hand with his neighbor in the various duties of life without the least friction. No one during blackshear's princt-palship has heard of a single Prairie View student having the least trouble with any of our white citizens and we have hundreds of them going out on various roads at the close of that school. Now, I was born and reared in Texas, and would not live anywhere else. Have tried to teach 22 years, and do believe that if there is any one man in Texas that knows anything about that state and the kind of teaching necessary and best fitted for our people, I should something about it. I have for the last 10 or 12 years spend much of my time traveling and talking to many of our country teachers' institutions, and I find that a large number or a very large per cent of these teachers are from Prairie View. I have made it my business to talk with each superintendent as to the work, and as to how these teachers get along with their white neighbors. Uncle Tom and Aunt Nancy, Uncle Jim and Aunt Susan who the old pioneers had the highest regard for, are all passing from the stage of the living; and the young Negro is coming on the scene. He has to have that teaching that will enable him to live in perfect harmony with his white brother. Not every criminal leaves a trail The miserant who invented bean soup covered his tracks so carefully that he never was apprehended. Men are a good deal like horses in the respect that the thoroughbred should be picked for speed and the scrub for service. Another precedent has been overturned by a Kansas bachelor. He was in a hospital six weeks a couple of years ago and did not marry the trained nurse who attended him. trode, a prominent citizen of Baltimore and for a long time connected with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, wrote a memoir of Banneker which was published by the Maryland Historical society. A large newspaper plant in Philadelphia has recently been taken over by a company of colored men, who are preparing to issue a weekly paper for circulation in a number of different cities. Arrangements have been made for its distribution in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, and thirty other cities within a twelve-mile radius of Philadelphia are expected to be included in its circulation. This is the first large newspaper enterprise ever undertaken entirely by colored men, and the purpose of the paper is the general uplift of the colored race. The undertaking is well financed, and will embody the highest ideals of race journalism. The paper is to be controlled, edited and printed entirely by colored men. The printing plant includes every labor-saving and cost-cutting device known in the newspaper world. Something like 40,000,000 barrels of beer are brewed in the United Kingdom every year. Among the other prohibited things which we do not care to do is that of loafing in the depot waiting-room. Generally speaking, it is the man who has no story to tell who laughs at yours.

The background is a plain, light-colored surface with no visible text or details.] Roman Chemical Co.: Nashville, Tenn. DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be only relief for me. My mind was forced to have same performed, and decided to go to an inermary, but a blind board of intentions and advice not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when aura could be effected by the use of venom. I took a bottle which swept a foreign mass from my system, including number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about our wonderful Stomach and Liver preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded rain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and nack. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CAPT. F. M.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM AND DROPSY Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles bring misery to many. When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. There follow depression, aches and pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches, chilliness and rheumatism. In some people there are sharp pains in the back and loins, distressing bladder disorders and sometimes obstinate dropy. The uric acid sometimes forms into gravel or kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints it causes lumbago, rheumatism, gout or sciatica. This is the time to send Dr. Pierce, Invalida' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., 10c for large trial package of "Anuric." During digestion uric acid is absorbed into the system from meat TOMMY HAD HIS OWN IDEA Parrot, of Course, Could Not Be an Angel, but it Was to Be Promoted. Two children, a little boy and girl, brother and sister, had been bereaved. They had lost by death a pet parrot. Of course when their first grief had subsided they turned the sad occasion to good account, as is the way with children, and had a grand funeral. The boy, Tommy, was grave digger, and the girl, Annie, wrapped the poor brilliant corpse in a silk scarf ready for interment. And it was a mournful occasion. When the grave had been duly patted down with a small spade, the little girl said: "I s'pose Polly's 'n he've'n now." "I s'pose so," said Tommy, "but I don't know." "He's got wings," said Annie, "but he wouldn't be an angel, would he?" "Who is wounded?" said Toddy, "Well, then, what is he?" asked the little girl "I *pose*," said Tommy, "he's a bird of paradise now." His Share.

"There's a Reason" Sold by Grocers everywhere PAGE SIX A little girl in Newcastle, Ind., has a new baby sister and she has been somewhat puzzled as to the exact status of the new arrival in the family, says the Indianapolis News. She had willingly given up her bed, but something still seemed to trouble her greatly. One day she was found surveying the dining room just at mealtime. She looked at her own high chair, then inquired suspiciously of her father: "Where is she going to eat, daddy?" He Pleased the Baby Restaurant Patron (causitically)—I am glad to see your baby has shut up, madam. Mother—Yea, sir. You are the only thing that's pleased him since he saw the animals at the zoo—Puck. The Only Way "My. yes! I'm buying less than I can't afford than ever before." The prettiest thing in feminine headwear is a good-humored face eaten, and even from some vegetables. The poor kidneys get tired and backache begins. This is a good time to take "Anuric," the new discovery of Dr. Pierce for Kidney trouble and Backache. Neglected kidney trouble is responsible for many deaths, and Insurance Company examining doctors always test the water of an applicant before a policy will be issued. Have you ever set aside a bottle of water for twenty-four hours? A heavy sediment or settling sometimes indicates kidney trouble. If you wish to know your condition send a sample of your water to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel Buffalo, N. Y., and describe symptoms. It will be examined without any expense to you, and Dr. Pierce or his chemist will inform you truthfully Anuric is now for sale by dealers in 50c picks. WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR Dreary Samuel in Earnest Effort to Secure Employment, but Not, of Course, for Himself. "Well, what do you want?" said the master of the house sternly to Dreary Samuel, the tattered tramp, as he stood outside the door, shivering with the most accomplished art. "I'm looking for work." replied he of the unemployed brigade. "Ain't you got no scrubbin' or washin' or cleanin' or notnink that an honest body could do?" This earnest, appeal for work made the householder think that he had misjudged a real, honest British laborer out of work. "Ah!" he said, "now you speak like a man. I like to hear of anyone willing to make an effort. I never thought you wanted work of that kind." "No more I do," whined Samuel shuddering at the bare idea. "It's work for my wife that I'm a lookin for." - London Answers. Pleasure in Store. The careworn lady settled comfortably in her chair. The new servant had come and promised to be a real treasure. Moreover, the girl showed a strange appreciation for the appointments of the well-furnished house. "So you like to work in—er—nicely appointed homes," asked the mistress kindly. "I do, mum," she replied.

Gomer Davies of the Concordia Kansan, declares that the worst tightwad story he ever heard was told him years ago by Doctor Jones at Republic City. The doctor was an all-around practitioner, and occasionally pulled teeth, the town having no dentist. The president of one of the banks came in to the doctor's office one evening, leading his seven-year-old boy by the hand. "Doc," he asked, "have you a tooth forceps hrrdy?" Getting "Yes" for an answer, he asked to see them, and the doctor handed them over. The banker put the boy in a common chair, opened the child's mouth, inserted the forceps and yanked out a molar to the accompaniment of howls of pain. "There," said the banker, handing back the forceps, "the thing is out all right enough, and just as well as if I'd paid you 50 cents for doing it. Let's go home, kid, and quit your bawling."—Kansas City Journal. He Was a Boy Himself "No," said Uncle Pogy to a group of urchins. "I am not going to walk through your game of marbles, but around it. I was once a boy myself and know how you feel about it. I am not going to pat any of you on the head and prognosticate that you will be president some day. I was once a boy myself and still remember how tired I got of philanthropic old boys patting me on the head. On the other hand, you young varmints are not going to lam me in the back with a dornick when I start on my way, as, having once been a boy myself, I shrewdly suspect you intend to do, or I will wrap my faithful hickory around you about twice apiece. Haur-raump!"—Kansas City Star. "Lend me your automobile this afternoon, will you? I want to take my girl out for a spin." "Sorry, old man, but I couldn't trust anybody else to run that machine. I'll tell you what we'll do, though. You lend me the girl." "Higgins doesn't seem to have many friends." "He hasn't. Last Saturday he had three tickets to the football game, and he couldn't get anyone to go with him." Fair Enough Unpopular. EASTERN CONFERENCE M. E.

The list prised Wheat, Oats, Barley and Grasses, the most important being the prizes for Wheat and Oats and spike仓 on Alfalfa. The most important than the splendid quality of Western Canada's wheat and other grains, is the excellence of cattle fed and fattened on the grasses of that entry. A recent shipment of cattle to Chicago led the market in that city for quality and price. Western Canada produced in 1915 one-third as much wheat of the United States, or over 300,000,000 bushels. Canada in proportion to population has a greater exportable surplus of wheat this year than any country in the world, and at present prices you can figure out the revenue for the producer.

Christmas Presents Easily Made at Home THIS little model of Santa Claus castle, built upon the summit of a mountain, makes an attractive centerpiece for the Christmas dinner table. The first thing to build is the mountain, and for this you will need a large enough piece of cardboard to make a base about sixteen inches in diameter and top nine or ten inches ITS sets of fun making Christmas gifts, and the girl who will give us the time to the work will be surprised to find how inexpensively she can provide something useful and pretty to everyone whom she wishes to remember. Likely some of the materials can be found at home, and a considerable saving in the cost of the rest can b In diameter (Fig. 4). Cardboard from a suit box will do The lower portion of the castle is a square cardboard box (Fig. 5). Invert this box, and around its bottom glue a strip of cardboard having notches cut in the edge, as shown, for an embattled parapet wall. The lower tower stands upon the box base. It is made of a piece of cardboard notched along the upper edge, and bent into a cylinder with the edges lapped and glued together (Fig. 6). Make a roof out of a circular piece of cardboard with projecting tabs for turning down and gluing to the sides of the tower (Fig. 7). Make a second smaller tower and fasten it upon the lower tower (Figs. 1 and 8). To complete the castle, paint a number of long narrow windows upon the walls, and fasten a slim stick flag pole upon the upper tower. The mountain side must be covered with snow, and the best way to obtain the snow effect is by gluing cotton to the cardboard. Put the cotton on in varying thicknesses, to give the mountain slopes a rocky appearance. And from the base form a trail up one side to the castle, by dampening and pressing down the cotton (Fig. 1) There must be trees, and excellent ones may be made by cutting long, slender wooden cones, similar to that shown in Fig. 2, driving a nail into the base of each, and then whitening the surface with a sharp knife so as to make the shavings stand out in the form of boughs (Fig. 8). The way to prepare the boughs is to start at the apex of the cone, and whittle in the same manner that you sharpen a pencil, but very carefully so as not to split off any of the shavings. Stain the trees a dark green. Then stand them erect upon the mountain sides, sticking the nails in their ends down 13 D 12 9 10 B D 11 C through the cardboard. Pull the cotton up around their bases. Santa Claus should be shown in his aeroplane about to alight at his castle (Fig 1). His aeroplane may be suspended by a thread. The aeroplane (Fig. 9) consists of a strip of cardboard 7 inches long and 1 inch wide (A), with 4 V-shaped piece glued to both sides of its center (B, Figs 9 and 10), a tail plane (C, Figs 9 and 11) glued to plane A, and a propeller (D, Figs 9 and 12) pivoted by a pin run through its center into the edge of plane A (Fig 10). Cut out the double picture of Santa Claus in Fig. 13, food along the dotted line, and paste together the two halves with the exception of the feet which must be separate to straddle the framework of the aeroplane. Color Santa Claus clothes and toy pack with water-colors or crayons. (Copyright by A. Neely Hall.) THE TULSA STAR (Copyright by A.

The football calendar in Fig 1 is a novel gift that brother will appreciate for his room. The football is made of cardboard. To make it symmetrical the edges must be curved alike, and the surest way of getting them so is by means of a paper pattern (Fig. 5). To make this pattern take a piece of paper 7 by 9 inches in size, fold it along its center as inicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2. bring $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{5}$ $\textcircled{4}$ $\textcircled{1}$ FOOTBALL CALENDAR $\textcircled{6}$ BLOTTER PAD ing corner A over to corner B (Fig. 3), then fold it again, bringing corner A to corner C (Fig. 4). From the folded corner measure off a distance of three inches along the short folded edge, and four inches along the long folded edge. Then draw an arc of an ellipse between the points marked off (Fig. 4), cut along the arc, unfold, and you will have the pattern shown in Fig. 5. Place the pattern upon the cardboard, mark out around it, and cut out the piece. Color the football with brown crayon or water-color, and shade the surface to make it look round. Buy a small calendar pad at the stationery store and paste it to the center of the football. Then tie a bow in each end of a piece of baby ribbon long enough to form a loop for hanging up the calendar by, and sew these bows to the ends of the football. Father or mother will be pleased with a blotter-pad like that shown in Fig. 6. It is made of four pieces of blotter four inches wide and eight inches long, and a piece of cardboard of equal size, held together at the ends with ribbon passed through holes punched near the corners and tied in bows. The Japanese pincushion in Fig. 7 consists of a little Japanese doll with a cushion locked under each arm, seated upon a piece of heavy cardboard.

Counsel for the defense bitterly complained of this action because Harrison was a Negro and took up nearly all of their time aiming stinging vituperations at the County Attorney and spitting sarcastic venom in the face of this little Negro lawyer, saying the white barristers had been insulted by the action of the County Attorney in having a Negro lawyer to sum up all that had been said by white lawyers and close for the state. Through it all Harrison wore his characteristic smile and when his turn came he arouse with the calmness and dignity of a Supreme Court Judge and in a very manly way exonerated the County Attorney from any responsibility for his connection with the case. It was evident from the time he started talking that he was master of the situation. In a few minutes the Court room was filled with sulphuric blazes and the counsel for defense, E. J. Giddings and Ross Lillard, were made to feel their inferiority before their superior and master before the bar. Judge Harrison is also head of the K. P. organization in Oklahoma.

A very elaborate program had been made by the committee in which the entire school participated. First the school sang "Over the River." Prayer by the Principal, Prof. Smily. School sang "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me." After which Little Myrhr Martin read a most striking paper on the life work of Mr. Washington, the paper was interesting and stated real picture of the Tuskegee sage was facts concerning the life and work of the great educator. A real vivid life brought to bear b the little thirteen year old girl. Every word was true, and every student listened earnestly with solemn thoughts. The school then sang "Nearer My God to Thee." Then Roy Martin, who had prepared an excellent paper was asked to read the same, which he did; and everyone in the school seemed to enjoy it. It was an excellent paper containing two verses of poetry composed by M. r. Washington. The school then stood and sang, "My soul in Sad Exile Was Out en Life's Sea." Prof. J.

Mr. Smiley told of the early days in which the Taskegee Normal and Industrial Institute was founded, told how Mr. Washington strugged to get the Institution to where it now is; told who assisted most, etc, in the laborious task. He told of the sincere interest Dr. Washington took in country, state and nation, how he continuously urged the race to higher ideals in life. He told how dutiful he was as a father, and husband, how careful he was even with hiself in making life when young. He never encouraged wrong or counternanced a fraud. Was a devoted Christian, an imminent citizen, a safe leader, a proficient educator, added Mr. Snutley. Never was the silver cord more gently loosened, never was the golden bowl more gently broken. Bidding farewell to his devoted wife and children he fell asleep, like a child weary and worn, ow the earth a common mother of nature, holds blim tenderly to her bosom, till God shall bid it rise, when he shall awake it is inspiring to believe that he shall greet the morning in a land where there is no nght, where the skies are undimmed by a cloud, where the feet are bleed upon no pathway of stones and the hend wears no crown of thorns, but an everlasting crown of life.
