Lodges, Blue Ribbon Club and Human Society Do Great Work in Helping Less Fortunate Ones. Churches Also Lend a helping Hand in Charity Work. If there is a single needy family in Tulsa that did not receive a box or beset Christmas it is because they could not be found by the strong arm of charity which extended in all directions in every nook and corner of the city, spreading joy among the poor people who otherwise would probably have gone without a Christmas dinner. This speaks well for Tulsa and all her citizens feel a degree of just pride in this splendid achievement. No city anywhere has done more for the poor, in proportion to population than Tulsa has done this Christmas. Everywhere the true Christmas spirit has prevailed and there has been joy and sunshine in every home. Early in November the Tulsa World launched a campaign for an "Empty Stocking" fund and as Christmas approached the fund grew rapidly. The Tulsa Star also appealed to the public for such fund with excellent results. The lodges and one of the young men's clubs responded liberally and when Christmas morning came a full wagon load of food, nuts, candies and dainties of various kinds was started out under the supervision of Prof. J. W. Hughes principal of the Dunbar grade school to visit the homes of the worthy poor. Prof. Hughes, accompanied by Hubert Green and baggageman Williams put in several hours delivering boxes to the unfortunate families of the East End. Prof. Hughes doing without breakfast himself in his agerness to serve the poor people. The contributions for this cause were as follows: Humane Society $30.00 K. of P.

Christ- mas trees were laden in nearly every church in the city Friday night with gifts for many of the poor families. The Salvation Army and the United Charities Association have also done much toward spreading the joys of the season. Thousands of dollars have been spent for the poor and Tul- sa has broken its own record for car- ing for the fortunates. Negro Home is Attacked MUSKOGEE FEELING THE EFFECT PRODUCED BY 'THE BIRTH OF A NATION.' Jess Brown's Home Attacked. Windows Demolished, and Other Damage Done. Mr. Jess Brown, a former resident of Tulsa, purchased a home on South 27th street in Muskogee, but was warned by the Klu Klux Klan not to move in, as they had decided to let no more Negroes live in that part of the town, and threatened violence to him if he dared disobey their commands. Being a good citizen Brown paid no attention to their threats, but went on arranging the details incl- TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, JANUARY, 1916. dent to the occupancy of a new home. Friday night, Dec. 24, after the workmen who were placing the window shades had gone home, leaving the house unguarded, one or more of the first citizens of Muskogee sneaked over to the house and with an iron pipe or some similar instrument, broke all the window lights and destroyed the curtains which had just been placed. The statement by the associated press that brickse and rocks were thrown is entirely false, since not a brick or stone was found inside the building. And likewise, false is the statement that Brown was left with a blanket around him shivering in the cold. Brown was not in the building, and it is well, for the coward or cowards that he was not home. He has four winchesters stowed away with plenty of ammunition and his cousins Bud Brown and G. W. George were there at night to see that the winchesters shoot streight. The most remarkable thing about the whole affair, is that Negroes by the dozens live on 27th and its adjoining streets, the majority of them owning property. Mr. J. L. Huff, masquerading as a requibican, and at present assistant street commissioner, ind warned Brown not to move in his house; denied that he had made any threats to Brown, but confesses to having said "I didn't threaten anyone some Negro moved his household goods into a residence near here the other day and I advised him not to move in himself. He has not done it yet. We are going to have a white neighborhood out there." When the district attorney was approached he said he needed more evidence. In criminal cases must the citizens find evidence for the prosecuting attorney? Negro Editors Meet In Kansas City WESTERN NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION URGES-RACE TO MAKE FRIENDS IN ALL POLITICAL PARTIES. Rsolutions Passed Asking ForEqual Opportunities for the Negro. (Special to the Tulsa Star.) KANSAS CITY, MO., Dec. 29.—The 17th annual meeting of the Western Negro Press Association closed here today after a very successful two-days' session which was attended by members of the Association, from several points in the west and south-west. A. J. Smitherman, editor of the Tulsa Star was reelected president of the Association as were all the other of ficers except the late editor L. A. Bell, former corresponding secretary, Editor Thos. Kennedy, editor of the Kansas City Independent, at Kansas City, Mo., was elected to this office. The next session of the Association will meet in Chicago, June 5th and 6th, 1916. The following resolution was adopted by the Association: Resolution Adopted by the W. P. N. A Dec. 29, 1915. Be he resolved that the Western Negro Press Association unqualifiedly endorses reasonable preparedness and believes that this government should immediately make suitable preparation to protect its commerce and citizens both home and abroad. We believe that the two million Negroes capable of bearing arms should be given an opportunity in all our states and territories to obtain that military training both as officers and privates that is absolutely necessary in a well organized government; and to this end, we earnestly suggest that the various states as well as the government put aside their prejudices toward the Negro and assist in training and molding this tremendous force into a splendid defensive machine. The Negro has demonstrated his bravery as well as loyalty upon many w battlefield and can be trusted to come to his Nation's defense at any time, that an emergency may arise. We enthusiastically endorse the doctrine pronunciated by our greatest leader whose loss we deeply deplore, the late Booker T. Washington, whose slogan "Back to the Farm" has found ready response in the hearts of thousands. We also deplore the death of that greatest diplomat of the race J. Milton Turner, who was the father and founder of the first Negro school in Missouri and who did much in his life time for racial uplift. ends of Negroes who are now doing well cultivating the soil. We views with pride the increasing tendency on the part of race to encourage and patronize Negro Journals and hope the time will soon come when the Negro newspaper will be found in the home of every member of the race. And Whevons it has been conclusively shown that the race has friends as well as enemies in all the political parties of this country, therefore, Be it Resolved, the Negro Press of this country be urged to admonish the race everywhere to encourage and cultivate the good will of all our friends in all parties and to show their appreciation of the same by a judicious use of their rights of suffrage. Be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be published in all the negro journals and a copy furnished the Associated Press. N. C. CREWS, Chairman. A. M. GARNER. H. R. GRAHAM. THOMAS KENNEDY. A. J. SMITHERMAN. TWO "OLD ROMANS" SAVED THE DAY. Times-Democrat Commendus Hon. W. H. Twine and Col. Rutherford. Republican Phoenix Urged On the Mob With Three Lurid Extras. The Times-Democrat Demands Arrest of Mob Leadere. Muskogee, Dec. 29. The Times-Democrat, the leading democratic daily in East Oklahoma, spoke editorially as follows in its Monday issue, commending the public spirited and patriotic services rendered Muskogee by the Hon. W. H. Twine, well known Negro lawyer, and Col. R. M. Rutherford, well known democratic leader: "Muskogee has reason for sincere and heartfelt self-congratulation today. That mob violence and race prejudice were not permitted to break loose in unreleased fury as a result of the killing of Policeman Neal and the capture of his murderers is almost a miracle. It was a serious mistake to lodge the prisoners in the county jail, and almost criminal neglect to permit a small crowd to congregate about the jail during Sunday afternoon when a few officers by vigorous action could have dispersed the crowd. These are all matters, however, of hindsight. When Judge des Graffenreid learned of the serious situation he called out the state malignity, and Commissioner Patterson ordered out all the police reserve. This display of force went a long way to curbing the crowd. Probably most credit for preventing a most unfortunate situation is due to SColonel Morton Rutherford and W. H. Twine. At 10 o'clock Sunday night several hundred armed negroes were congregated north of the jail, and about a thousand whites were gathered in the streets south of the jail. It only need a thoughtless shot to let loose the fury. Mayor Miller sent for Twine, who responded instantly, and under the mayor's instructions succeeded in getting the negroes to quietly leave the vicinity of the jail. About this time Colonel Rutherford addressed the crowd and then led the movement to drive the crowd back from the jail. Adj. Gen. Canton, one of the level headed men of the state, took charge of the troops. This was a master stroke which made the crowd ridicule in its own eyes. The sheriff's office deserves credit for the rather bold, and aggressive manner in which the prisoners were taken from the jail and spirited out of the city. Muskegow is to be congratulated that the majesty of the law rather than violence of the mob predominated in ending the fisco." Harold at the Phone. What he thought he'd say:—Hello, dear! I love to hear your voice. It's my inspiration. Won't I see you soon? Tomorrow will be a hundred years. It's unbearable to be away from you. I'll never tire of you. Your family will like me when they know me better. My love for you is wonderful. I couldnt live without you. There is no other girl in the world but you. What he said:--Hello dear, I love to hear your voice—— Gladys:--That'll be all right, but father says I can't talk to you until your turn up with a theatre ticket every now and then to pay for the fun you're wearin goff the sofa. • Harold:—Oh!

Both Mayor Wooden and Commissioner Quinn Are Men of Exceptionally High Character and Above Reproach as Officials. That the action of the grand jury last week in ordering the suspension of Mayor Frank M. Wooden and Commissioner T. J. Quinn on charges of accepting bribes is not looked upon favorably by the best citizens of Tulsa, white or black, is plainly evident fraum the comment the incident has caused among all classes. It seems to be the consensus of opinion that these two officials have committed no wrong and that their enemies are behind a scheme to humiliate them and discredit them in the public eye. This, however, will undoubtedly fail, because both of these gentlemen have made exceptionally good records in Tulsa, both as private citizens and as officials of the municipal government. The advertising Tulsa has received as a result of the grand jury's action is anything but pleasant to the best citizens here and certainly it is not beneficial to the city. The gentlemen who compose the [Name] M. B. COMMISSIONER T. J. QUINN Colored Laundry Opens In Tulsa The Crescent Laundry to Open For Business Monday Morning. The Star is glad to note that we are to have a first class laundry, managed and operated by Negroes, thus fulfilling a long felt necessity for the Colored people of Tulsa. The reputation of the gentlemen behind it, assures its success. Mr. F. O.

They have installed machinery of the most approved type and are therefore able to guarantee first class, and quick and satisfactory service. A versatile, intelligent young man is to their wagon, thus assuring access to delivery, and courtesy to the customers. The manager invites the man to visit the laundry offices Saturday from ten a. m. to eleven p. m. to inspect the machinery and office appliances. So that the busy merchants from up town (or out of town) may come without inconvenience they will serve an excellent buffet lunch during those hours. The company has also taken over Mr. the City thing about it is that only one side is ever heard before a grand jury, and they are unable at all times to find the interior motives which form the bas's of operation in many of the cases brought before them. It is very much regretted that such men as Mayor Wooden and Commissioner Quinn should be called upon to defend their conduct as City officials in the light of their excellent service they have rendered, the city. But "Alls well that ends well" as it is sure to do in this case. White Democr Defies Mob CRUMP DENUNCED MOB AS COWARDS W. J. Crump, Prominent Democratic Attorney Addresses Members of Mob and Urges Them to Desist. Muskogee, Dec. 29.—One of t he notable speeches made by citizens at the county jail last Sunday night in the effort to induce the white members of the mob seeking the life of the Negro murderer, William Green, was made by the Hon. W. J. Crump-ex-County attorney and one of the leading members of the Oklahoma bar. As the crowds jammed about the jail, the door was opened and Sheriff Barger and W. J. Crump emerged. Two beer kegs were rolled to the side walk and Crump began to address the crowd. He told them we were in a new country and should meet conditions as they are. He urged them to go to their homes and let the law take its course, promising them that speedy justice would be met out in a logical way. The crowd hissed and jeered him. There were cat calls and cries of "we want the negro." Crump continued to talk. He was interrupted with: "We want no bunk from you." Crump grew angry and, shouting at the crowd, declared that if they would notlisten to him they had no sense. "You are standing out there crying out for a man's life. You are a lot of cowards. I dare any one of you to set upon this platform and speak out openly what you are crying out in that mob. You dare not do it. You are cowards." Franklyn's cleaning and pressing establishment, which Mr. Franklyn will personally direct. The enterprise should be substantially patronized, not only because it is conducted by our people, but for the major reason that it will give useful employment to ten to fifteen of our unemployed boys and girls.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLI AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Persons interested in the education of the colored youth in Washington recently had an opportunity to see a quadruplex exhibit showing what is being done in the way of training colored boys and girls. The fourfold exhibit was at the Miner Normal school, Georgia avenue and Euclid street, northwest. The greater portion of it was work done on the playgrounds during the summer; added to this were models showing dairy, water supply, housekeeping and other methods, sanitary and insanitary. The remaining two phases were in one sense not an exhibit of a formal nature, being only the regular arrangement of material for study by students at the normal school and included the courses in domestic and other sciences, such as botany, zoology and psychology. Interested persons were made welcome at the school and shown the exhibits and school equipment. No group of the exhibit was more interesting, probably, than the display of playground work. This represented all of the industrial activities of the five colored school grounds under Miss Anita J. Turner. "Service" is the motto for all work turned out—that is, it must be of a character and structure that allows its use. For instance, on display were all sorts of baskets, well made and attractively colored; pocketbooks, crocheted sacks and bootes, aprons, little dresses, collars, dollies, hats, napkin rings and hammocks. Several girls attending the play centers brought their dolls and dressed them. Play aprons for children were made by the youngsters and decorated with subjects dear to the hearts of little ones—the three bears, the cow that jumped over the moon, rabbits, birds, camels, elephants and Mother Goose One especially attractive display was for table use. It included a centerpiece adapted for the joint use of flowers and fruit; dollles, reed napkin rings and coasters. Because of the lack of money for material, work of this sort is limited. It is hoped that congress will appropriate a sum for carrying it on, so that the maintenance money no longer will have to be raised through entertainments and other similar means. Mrs. Susan Gillies, a Negro woman, who, according to the claim of her relatives, was born a slave, on a plantation in Virginia 115 years ago, died at her home, 571 Classon avenue, Brooklyn. The aged Negress lived with her daughter; Mrs. Julia Thomas, eighty-four years of age, and her great-granddaughter, Mrs. Ella Abbott. Five generations of Mrs. Gillies' family attended her funeral. Mrs. Thomas was very positive as to the age of her mother. She declared that she was born in the year 1800, at Peterborough, Va., on the Peterson plantation, and lived in servitude with the Peterson family until 1863. Mrs. Thomas declared that her mother often told her of visits paid to the plantation by James Monroe before and after his terms as president of the United States. Mrs. Thomas was born on the same plantation and she also lived in slavery until 1863. There are about 12,000 cremations each year in the United States. The first crematory was established in 1876 and during the eight succeeding years only 28 human bodies were cremated. In a communication to the New York World A. J. Casserly of Jersey City, N. J., writes as follows: I read with considerable interest your editorial "Some Native Sons." In these days of criticism of hyphenated citizens your reference to a class of citizens which is content to be plain, pure, simple Americans, furnishes some food for serious thought. You have rightly said that "one of the strongest of their racial characteristics is devotion to country and home." This virtue has been manifest long prior to and since the days of Jethro of the land of Midian. History reports the view that the black man has always proven true to home and country. God forbid that the great mass of American Negroes should boast unseemly of our forefathers' devotion and worth, or of their own. Pre-eminently on the pages of history is emblazoned the fact that in no crisis has the black man been found wanting in devotion to right or in seeking out and supporting the truth as it was given to him to know it. Liverpool has the world's largest dry dock, 1,020 feet long and 155 wide at the water line, the only one in the world large enough to receive 50,000 ton liners. American manufacturers of lead pencils now have the business of the far East practically to themselves. An electrically operated tremolo attachment for stringed instruments has been invented which produces the desired effects when buttons are pressed. AN CULLINGS If he (Booker Washington) seemed to underemphasize the difficulties growing out of external political and social restriction, it was rather due to his unceasing cry that the kingdom of power and wealth and dignity can rest finally only on spiritual achievement, self-conti. foresight, thrift, the practice of the common virtues. No breaking out of the outer bonds can alone free the spiritual slave. . . . No one could hear him with an open mind, however, and fail to realize that his message was equally applicable to the white race. No one could fail to realize that he saw the weakness of his white neighbors and felt the bitterness of the political and social restrictions enforced by the whites. Booker T. Washington was, however, always more than a Negro—nobly human within his race—and because of this, the simple people of his own race, the honest-hearted of both races, heard and followed. He had many great human qualities of leadership, of organizing capacity, of oratorical power, and of imagination his contribution is richer because gifts peculiar to his people. That rah humor, the exquisite sense of another's feeling that is the basis of social power, rich vocabulary, high emotional appeal! American life would be so enormously enriched if we thought in terms of what colored people can do instead of what they must be prevented from trying to do! And so his contribution to the thinking of the white South has not always been clear. Though the least thoughtful realized that he was not a "common Nigger" to be called "Booker," they did not always arrive at the point of recognizing the dignity of the man by calling him "mister;" but they could find a middle path by calling him "professor." For thousands of white persons that short step is the first advance in the direction of freeing their own spirits. For, of course, the race or caste feeling is a band tight about the spirits of the white South, to many of whom Booker T. Washington gave the first glimmering sense of their own bondage. For these, his service is incalculable, one never to be measured, and to be recognized only gradually and by relatively few. And yet, as the nation could not live half bond and half free in the days of political slavery, so in the days to come the spiritual bonds of prejudice are to be broken from the white South, as those to which he called attention are to be stricken from the black South. Only when both are removed will either be wholly free.—Sophonisba P. Breckinridge in the Survey. There are about 427 Negro schools in the United States, other than elementary public schools and public high schools, or those in any sense under government and state control. Of these, 57 are put down as colleges and universities. All but three of the fifty-seven are avowedly denominational. Of the 16 institutions for Negro women only all but three are accredited to some denomination. Of the 354 normal, industrial and private schools all but 80 are reported as denominational. The first president, born in the United States of America after the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of national unity was Martin Van Buren, who was born in the state of New York in 1782. not be amiss to refer to the agitation of a few years ago, begun by loyal American Negroes, for participation in the National Guard service of the country. I submit that no just reason may be advanced why there should not be in every state of this Union colored regiments or battalions connected with the National Guard system. To such a program the rank and file of American Negroes would, ignoring past rebuffs, unconditionally subscribe. Finishing of the new Canadian government grain elevator at Calgary marks the completion of the chain of government elevators between the Great Lakes and the Rocky mountains, those at Saskatoon and Moose-jaw being in operation now. A specially designed reflector enables a new projecting liantern to produce about 500,000 candlepower by using a 1,000-watt, nitrogen-filled incandescent lamp. Villa "dollars" bring one cent each in New York. The bark of a cactus growing wild in western Mexico has been found to contain enough resin after the death of the plant to make its utilization practicable. The flag pole on top of a tower on a New York hotel has been so mounted that it can be lowered into a tubular casing for painting or repairing.

In these strenuous shopping days, writes Louis James, have you caught yourself remembering suddenly, in all sorts of queer, unexpected places, all sorts of queer, half forgotten things? Have you remembered how these days before Christmas are the wonderful days in the life of the child, more wonderful days, perhaps, than any that are to come? You know that yourself. You can't help recalling how time went by those days before the great day. You remember how each day seemed somehow more wonderful than the one before, each day a prelude of real joy to that first marvelous moment of Christmas morning. when, after a night of little if any sleep, you scramble up and stood breathless on the threshold of the room which had been forbidden you all those interminable hours that went before. The child you take with you through the wonderlands of the modern toy department wants what you did. The little girl stops before the baby doll, wide eye, still with desire. The boy stands flooded with happiness before an ark in which is every imaginable creation. You remember what a small thing your own was, a fourth the size. But his toy is no greater than yours. He pushes toward the rocking horse. Now it runs by machinery, when once you ran your own across the floor to the imminent danger of total destruction to persons and furniture that might stand in the way. But Christmas day was your day. The day when "don'ts" were not and you wore king or queen in your kingdom of toys. You pass on to trains and there again electricity is running them. You pulled them yourself. Then you catch the look on the face of your boy. He is watching the huge engine move slowly, smoothly along. It passes under infinite tunnels and bridges and over made hills that present intricate difficulties of passage. Your tunnels were of chairs and the table in your kitchen made a splendid bridge to cross. He turns to you, the child of this twentieth century. His smile is beatiful. He wants it—that train. He never wanted anything so much before. He never will again he is sure. And as you move away you smile, a little sadly, a little gladly. You are proud to be able to make him so wonderfully happy, this child of yours, but you are sure, too, that he is no happier than you were these same pre-Christmas days, those years before. Change of Scenery. The fool who rocked the boat will now proceed to put on a set of cotton whiskers and light the candles on the Christmas tree.

You cannot help but be impressed with the appearance of Richards & Pringle's Minstrels when they visit your city. No old hand-me-down, faded, worn-out wardrobe, no sloppy, slip-shod porade. Instead you will see the best dressed minstrel parade you have ever seen on your streets. Uniforms of the costliest material, built by the best tailors in the land. And the department of these talented colored boys is always a subject of comment in every city they visit; and that includes all the principal ones from Maine to California. The performance given by this company, unlike many given by their white competitors, is strictly clean and refined. Not a suggestive word, song, joke or action finds a place in their program. This motto of cleanliness is doubtless the keynote of their success, for they are packing the theatres throughout the country. There will be a big free street parade at noon, headed by the best minstrel band in America, and a concert in front of the theatre at 7:30 o'clock in the evening.

All of his real estate holdings are easily worth $45000, and he is planning to construct in the near future another two-story business brick. If real estate values continue to increase in the future as they have in the past in the next few years Mr. Williams will easily be worth more than $100,000. Mr. Williams is also one of our leading and progressive citizens ready at any time to foster any interest that tends to the uplift and benefit of his race, he is prominently known in our midst and well liked by all who know him. He has been for four years, and is now a member of Tulsa's Metropolitan Police Force. He is familiarly known among the police characters as "Chief Williams." His conduct as a patrolman has been at al. times above reproach. In the performance of his official duties he is kind, yet he is firm and unyielding, and when he n his characteristic way says "the chief wants to see you" all law violators know that resistance is useless. Hence he is a fearless officer respected by both high and low alike. Mr. Williams is yet comparatively young man yet on the sunnside of life, as he is only 47 yearsold. He has practiced all the things that make a valuable citizen, such as thrift, frugality, industry, and never at any time forgetting to be a charitably inclined disposition. A splendid record for any man to make. He is unmarried. (First published in the Tulsa Star, Nov. 27-1915.) In the Superior Court Within and For Lula County, Oklahoma.

Roger's coat was still brightly speckled with red, yellow and blue confetti; there was a battered tin horn protruding from one pocket, and a particolored fool's cap made of tissue paper was set rakishly askew on the bronze bust of feethoven on the piano. In the hazily-recalled grotesquerie of last night's homecoming, Roger had denuded himself progressively, beginning with his shoes at the door, his hat and waistcoat beside the dresser; trousers and linen at the foot of the bed and, last of all, his scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow beneath the nob of the bedpost. Roger sat up regarding all this whistmically for some time and wondering dully how it is that morning daylight always imparts such a haggard aspect to the rosy visions of the night before. He yawned and stretched prodigiously; then made a bound for the washbowl and immersed his head in gratefully cold and refreshing water from the tap. "Heigh ho!' New Year's morning and my fortieth birthday all in one! The good Lord knows that I don't feel that old, but these periodic 'parties' sure are beginning to pall upon me. If I were to do the conventional thing now, I'll begin the new year by making some amazingly moral resolution and then—But, after all, why not? I'll make a resolution and not break it, either! I'm forty years old today and as comfortable a bachelor as any I know. Hereby I do solemnly avow a placid life of celibacy. No wedding bells for me!" Roger dressed leisurely, not a little pleased with the positive formulation of the idea that really had been in the back of his head for months past. He liked and admired girls, of course—what real man doesn't? But it was in a detached impersonal sort of way. He enjoyed their chatty conversations as mentally restful after weighty business conferences at the office all day long; he liked vivacious femininity across the table when he dined out in the evening. But as for actually burdening himself with one woman for life—as foruntarily domesticating himself, eschewing the good fellows at the club, and as for systematizing his life into a humdrum routine—no, no! not for Roger Featherstone! Ah! there went the telephone bell! His sister Madge undoubtedly—Madge who had married Phil Barnes and taken out of the merry whirl of things as jolly a chap as ever— "Hello! hello!" Yes, this is Roger talking. Oh, I. if it might it might be you. O. W. ais Why, no-o-o! I've no particular appointment for tonight. For dinner at your house? Yes, I'll come, thank you Eh? You don't say? Betty Hurling going to be there with you, too? Well, well, of course I remember her! We used to be sweethearts back in kid days. When did she get back in town? Must be four or five years since we've met. All right, I'll be over." Roger sighed as he hung up the receiver; then grinned. "Tonight will be a good time to tell them about my New Year's resolution." The cozy little dinner party was over. Sister Madge and Phil—"Hub" she patronizingly called him—were some where out in the back of the house. They had left Roger and his old chum Betty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly lil parlor. How that girl had grown and "improved" during these five years the Roger hadn't seen her! Why, she had developed into a positive little push! What a sensation she would make at one of the club dances! She hadn't forgotten about their old days together, either—recalled lots of little childish intimacies that had slipped even Roger's memory. Why, those fuzzy little tadrills of hair curling at the nape of her neck were positively adorable! Yes, and these liquid, mischievous eyes of hers! Deuce take "I! what was that elusive scent she used? Did it come from that fluffy hair, or the gown, or—Roger was in the midst of telling her about his resolution to eternal bachelordom. He had intended to do it humorously, epigrammatically. But the warm, physical proximity of the girl was an indubitably permeating thing—went to one's head—and that little-pink-nailed, soft hand lying passive so near to his was—"So when I got up and remembered that today is New Year's and my fortieth birthday, I said to myself—" "Yes, Roger," — oh, the subtle, amused, encouragement of that inflection. It piqued him strangely. "I said to myself that—" "Yes, Roger—" The man stared at her confusedly and all at once was accusingly con- A She Hadn't Forgotten About Their Old Days. secious that, somehow or other, that soft, warm little hand of her was nostling comfortably within his own tremulous grip. "You were saying, Roger, that you told yourself that—"? "That I've been needing you for ever so long, dear," mumbled the man, red-faced. And she: "Oh, Roger! What a perfectly lovely New Year's resolution!" NEW YEAR'S DAY IN OLD WALES New Year's day in old Wales was not marked with such celebrations as were some of the other days during the Christmas season, but there were two customs observed which are rather interesting. The first was the visit of the male members of the house to the homes of their neighbors on New Year's morning. It was considered unlucky for a female to enter the house first on New Year's day, but should this happen by accident, it was supposed to be a sign of death in the family during the coming year. So firmly rooted is this old superstition in the minds of the peasantry that some of the old folk will engage men or boys to visit their home on the early morning of New Year's day. I was thus hired when a boy on more than one occasion, and took great delight in entering certain homes as the first male visitor on that day, for which I received a few pence. The second custom was the visit of the "waits" on New Year's morning with the "New Year's Water." The "waits" were supposed to be an established institution of professional musicians wearing arms, but now the name is used to designate companies of people who go around caroling during the Christmas season. On New Year's morning these "waits" would journey throughout the community. Arriving at the door of a home, they would sing the following verse: Get up on New Year's morning. The cocks are all a crowing. And if you think it is too soon. Get up and look at the stars and moon. After this they would knock loudly and repeat slowly the following lines: The roads are very dirty. Our boots are very thin. We wish you all a "Happy New Year." And please to turn us in. When the door was opened a member of the party who was styled the "Sprinkler," carrying in his hand a cup of clear water and a bunch of the box tree, would sprinkle the members of the household with the New Year's water, repeating while doing so the following lines: Here we bring you water from the well so clear. For to worship God with us this "Happy New Year."

FROM ONE YEAR'S CROP HE PAID FOR HIS LAND IN WESTERN CANADA Remarkable as are the reports of the yields of wheat in Western Canada, the marketing of which is now under way, they are none the more interesting than are those that are vouchered for as to the value of this grain crop to the farmers of that country. Some months ago the Department of the Interior, at Ottawa, Canada, wrote to those in the United States who were owners of land in Western Canada that was not producing, advising that it be put under crop. The high prices of grain and their probable continuance for some years should be taken advantage of. Cattle and all the produce of the farm commanded good figures, and the opportunity to feed the world was great, while the profits were simply alarming. The Department suggested that money could be made out of these idle lands, lands that could produce anywhere from 25 to 65 bushels of wheat per acre. A number took advantage of the suggestion. One of these was an Illinois farmer. He owned a large quantity of land near Culross, Manitoba. He decided to put one thousand acres of it under wheat. His own story, written to Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Government Agent at Chicago, is interesting. "I had' 1,000 acres in wheat near Culross, Manitoba. I threshed 34,000 bushels, being an average of 34 bushels to the acre. Last Spring I sold my foreman, Mr. F. L. Hill, 240 acres of land for $9,000, or $37.50 per acre. He had saved up about $1,000, which he could buy seed with, and have the land harrowed, drilled and harvested, and put in stock or shock. "As a first payment I was to take all the crops raised. When he threshed he had 8,300 bushels of wheat, which is worth in all $1.00 per bushel, thereby paying for all the land that was in wheat and more, too, there being only 200 acres in crop. If the 240 acres had all been in wheat he could have paid for it all and had money left." That is a story that will need no corroboration in this year when, no matter which way you turn, you learn of farmers who had even higher yields than these. G. E. Davidson of Manitou, Manitoba, had 36 acres of breaking and 14 acres older land. He got 2,186 bushels of wheat, over 43 bushels per acre. Walter Tukner of Darlingford, Manitoba, had 3,514 bushels off a 60 acre field, or over $58\frac{1}{2}$ bushels per acre. Forty acres was breaking and 20 acres summer fall. Wm. Sharp, formerly Member of Parliament for Lisgar, Manitoba, had 80 acres of wheat on his farm near Manitou, Manitoba, that went 53 bushels per acre. One of the most remarkable yields in this old settled portion of Manitoba was that of P. Scharf of Manitou, who threshed from 15 acres the phenomenal yield of 73 bushels per acre. These reports are but from one district, and when it is known that from almost any district in a grain belt of 30,000 square miles, yields while not as large generally as these quoted, but in many cases as good, is it any wonder that Canada is holding its head high in the air in its conquering career as the high wheat yielder of the continent? When it is pointed out that there are millions of acres of the same quality of land that has produced these yields, it is unbroken, and may be had for filing upon them as a homestead, or in some cases may be purchased at from $12 to $30 an acre from railway companies or private land companies, it is felt that the opportunity to take part in this marvelous production should be taken advantage of by those living on land much higher in price, and yielding infinitely less.-Advertisement.

A shed to hold farm implements may not look as important as some of the other buildings, but it is neces: sary to prevent waste. The deprect- ation in the value of farm imple: ments and machinery is about 10 per cent per year under good care, When the machines are left to weather and rust in the rain and wind the loss {s simply ruinous. More machinery ts required on farms than formerly, and it is not a question whether a farmeg can afford a machine shed or not; the only problem is to find out how to build it and how large to build it. In the first place the implement shed should be big enough to hold all farm tools and it should be well built and tight enough to keep out the wind and small animals, including chickens, ‘The plan shown herewith is 16 foot in width ond 60 fect in length. ‘The width ts all right for any length shed. It may be built shorter and the length continued at any time if more room is needed, The doorways provide headroom sufficient for (Le highest machines, and the width ef the widest opening when the double doors are opened and the center post removed y uray Ks, i ' Pree a SUL Wi Bose ae oa esr is nearly 20 feet, which is suMcient for a binder in field condition or for & twohorse spring tooth horse rake, One end of the building is intended for a machine shop, to be partitioned off by onelosing the first bent! ‘This gives a shop 16 feet ‘vuare for a black- |sauih shop and geueral repair work.

Room is needed in the front and at the right and lefthand sides of the drill, with the post at the back. It often happens that a farmer wants to drill holes through a long piece of fron, and this arrangement permits passing it through from end to end. Quite @ number of hand blacksmith tools are needed. A partial list would {nclude about four pairs of tongs of different shapes and sizes, a black- smith hammer, one lighter riveting bammtr with a flat peen, a sledge hammer, an anvil hardy, one pair of horseshoe nippers, and a small assort- ment each of drills, cold chisels, Punches and files, ‘This outfit would hot be expensive and it is sufficient to do a great many jobs of repair work. It may be added to at any time when other tools are really needed. ‘The farm carpenter tool outfit may be loss expensive, because fewer tcols are needed.

A word of caution in regard to the front of the building may be neces: sary. When a front is all doors, there is little room for bracing. It is a good plan to make the door posts three or four feet longer than the ik lustration indicates, and to extend them down into the ground. — ‘This should be done by dizging holes larger than the posts, then set the posts with concrete to make them solid and to preserve them from rotting. It takes the place of sills. This makes a very solid building and one that will stand plumb and square for a great many years, LIVE ON ALFONSO’S PENSION Spanish King Remembered an tn- terned Hungarian Musician in a Most Practical Way. ‘The king of Spain has a way of re- membering people when they are in trouble, The celebrated Hungarian gypsy violinist and orchestra conductor Boldi, who played daily and nightly at the Ritz, Meurice and Cafe de la Paix in Paris for some thirty years, was sent to a concentration camp by thé French authorities at the opening of the war. Boldi had brought up a large family in Paris, but he had never thought of getting naturalized. So when the war came the whole family, along with the score or more of Hun- garian musicians in the orchestra, were bundled off to a camp. The property which Boldi had acquired out of his years of savings was put under sequester and the family found itself in straits, Now the king of Spain is passionate- ly fond of Hungarian music and used to give really royal tips to Boldt every timo he went to Paris for many years, Boldi’s son even went to play in a fash- fonadle restaurant at Madrid on recom- mendations given by the king. When the king heard from Hungarians at Mudrid that the Boldi family was in difficulties he had his secretary send them a monthly allowance of 200 francs ($60), which has gone to the camp every month since the outbreak of the war, There is little need for money at the camp,'so the whole fam- ily is quite comfortable on King Al- fonso's allowance, Nation's Wealth. ‘The nation's wealth in 1912 (the latest year considered in the report), ‘was $107,739,071,000, Of this amount $2,098,613,122 t9 invested in privately owned central electric lighting and Power plants, $4,696,663,252 in street railways, $28,252,516 in tolegraph systems, and $1,081,433,227 in tele- phone systems, making a total of $7, 999,863,157 in electric utility proper- ties, Cost of Seed in Kansas, J, C.

Among his own people he has the clearest society to be found, the opportunity for getting employment at good wages can scarcely be equalled.

Noted for Her Beauty and the Rich ness of Her Gowns. Mrs. Leslie Edited "Leslie's Weekly" For Years After Death of Frank Leslie. Her Will Is Contested Because She Left Two Million Dollars to Woman's Suffrage. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—That Mrs. Frank Leslie, deceased widow of the noted publisher, is alleged to have been the daughter of a negress clave and Charles Follin, a white man, of New Orleans, La., was made public in an accounting of the estate, filed in the Surrogate's Court by William N son Cromwell and Louis H. Cramer, the executors. The executors paid $1080 to detectives who investigated Mrs. Leslie's parentage, and to show why this was necessary, they cite charges made by Arthur Leslie, grandson of the publisher, by a previous marriage, who recently applied to the Surrogate's Court for permission to contest the validity of Mrs. Leslie's will. The will gave Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt the bulk of the $2,000,000 estate to be used to further the cause of suffrage. Secret Hearings Held. The hearings on Mr. Leslie's motion were before Surrogate Fowler in secret, and the first inking of the charges made by th grandson were contained in the accounting. The Surrogate still has the case under consideration. The executors, after stating that the estate amounts to $1,748,550, exclusive of six parcels of realty, and calling attention to the fact that Mr. Cramer wants $19,500 for legal services exending over a period of nine years, recite Mr. Leslie's complaint. "The general nature of the claim," it say, "was that the descendant Who Sells the Material to build the home was the illegitimate child of one companyed by his Charles Follin and a negro slave and that she had no heirs at law or next friends in the state. He will kill her the next of her from her state. He will her estate had come to her from her husband, Frank Leslie, and under the marriage and Marriage statute of distribution and descent rocks and Hot water of this State the heirs at law and the next of kin of the decedent were heirs at law and next of kin of Frank Leslie." Mr. Johnson s Others Are to Contest. The executors have investigated the facts alleged in the petition and have entirely protected the interests of the estate. A notice has been filed by Loretta L. Hollander, Florence L. Wassbrod and Frank Leslie, sating that they intend to make claims similar to the claim of Arthur Leslie. The purpose of the affidavits reflecting upon the parentage of Mrs. Leslie was to establish that the would-be contestants, all grandchildren of Frank Leslie, are the only kin of Mrs. Leslie. The affidavits were submitted by James L. Westcott, attorney of Arthur Leslie. Westcott said today he could not make the affidavits public, as he agreed not to do so. It is understood the grandchildren hope to effect a compromose with Mrs. Catt, out of court. Charles Johnson Visits The South Charles Johnson Visits The South Mr. Chas.
