MINNEAPOLIS DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL THE VOICE OF THE PRESS MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. MANY SIDED LIFE OF "HUSTLING" T. R. MORGAN. Interesting Career of Versatile Writer, Business Man and Organizer. By MISS M. G. WILLIAMS. Thomas R. Morgan was born in Bristol, Pa., being the son of a Methodist preacher. He was "raised all over the country." He was taken off the farm and placed in the printing office of the Philadelphia Seintnel, now the Tribune. While in Philadelphia he was associated with J. W. Harris in the organization of the Small Loan and Investment company, which is known today as the Conservative Investment company of Philadelphia. In 1896 he organized what was then known as the Small Loan and Investment company of St. Paul, Minn., which has lately been reorganized into the Gateway Investment company. He is still a member of the board of directors, having acted a number of years as its secretary-treasurer. Perhaps Mr. Morgan has entered more avenues of business than any other man in the northwest. He is now secretary and general agent of the Cosmopolitan Mutual Casualty company, an entirering Negro insurance company, which he was instrumental in helping to promote in 1905. For more than a year he has been managing editor of the Guide. a very news little sheet, and through its columns has been able to do good work in the interest of railroad waiters, porters and cooks. On account of his THOMAS R. MORGAN. ability to do many things well he is familiarly known as "hustling" Tom Morgan. This versatile young man can also be classed as a writer, printer, real estate man, notary public, publicity specialist and a cornet soloist of ability. He is now secretary of the local Negro Business league of St. Paul. In church circles Mr. Morgan has been very popular and has acted in the capacity of secretary of the board of trustees of St. James' A. M. E. church for a number of years. Cause of Republican Defeat in Maine. It is now alleged that Afro-Americans voted almost solidly with the Democrats at the recent elections in Maine, which accounts for the overwhelming defeat of the Republicans. Independence in politics is becoming more general year by year. At nearly every important election drastic changes occur. Experienced politicians no longer base their hopes for success on strictly party lines. High Tribute to Dr. B. T. Washington. When the king and queen of Denmark recently entertained at dinner as their special guest Dr. Booker T. Washington they paid a high tribute not only to Dr. Washington and the Negro race, but to the highest type of American manhood. IMPORTANT COMING EVENT.

Chicago, Oct. 18.—Judge Scanlan in sentencing Thomas Jackson, colored, pastedday to an intermediate imprisonment of from one year to life, emphasized the worth of newspapers to a community. "If our newspapers would publish such sentences crime would diminish rapidly," said Judge Scanlan. "If robbers learned through the newspapers that they were going to get life imprisonment when they came over here, neither the robbers nor their pals would be long in recognizing the best thing to do." A jury found Jackson guilty of thrusting a revolver in the faces of several waitresses in a restaurant and robbing the cash register of $20.

We will have more to say concerning this work later as it is one of the things of which Duluth is sorely in need of. No matter what one may thing of individuals connected with the church it is nevertheless true that the church must always stand precinctly as the center for the uplifting activities of the race and it behoves all to encourage such organizations as are willing to take up this generally unappreciated work. Mr. Asa White, who is at present connected with the Sleeping Car Dept., of the South Shore is now visiting friends of the Twin Cities, where he is so well known and genuinely liked. Mr. White is still nursing the ambition for more law and hopes that his present vocation may facilitate the accomplishment of that desire. Social and Literary Season.

THE OBJECT OF EDUCATION. Robert G. Ingersoll. The object of all education should be to increase the usefulness of man—usefulness to himself and others. Every human being should be taught that his first duty is to take care of himself, and that to be self-respecting he must be self-supporting. To live on the labors of others, either by force which enslaves, or by cunning which robs, or by borrowing or begging, is wholly dishonorable. Every man should be taught some useful art. His hands should be educated as well as his head. He should be taught to deal with things as they are—with life as it is. This would give a feeling of independence, which is the firmest foundation of honor, of character. mires himself. MINNEAPOLIS CHURCH NOTES ST. PETER'S CHURCH.

FINANCE IS HIS STRONG FORTE President Taft Appoints Well Know Lawyer and Business Man to Succeed the Hon. W. T. Vernon as Register of the United States Treasury Clean Political Record. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. Quite forty years have passed since a coterie of southern colored boys entered Oberlin college and drank of her fountain of learning. It is a peculiar coincidence that two of them should attain the high position of register of the United States treasury. The first was Blanche K. Bruce of Prince Edward county, Va., who had REGISTER AND MRS. J. C. NAPIER. that honor conferred upon him by two presidents. The second is John C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn., who will assume the duties of that office in February, 1911. Out of that small group of Negro students that gathered in Oberlin in the twilight of Negro freedom under the guidance of the learned John Mercer Langston have come some noted men. Bruce became a United States senator, was twice register of the treasury and was also recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Settle went into the law and has attained distinction as a splendid lawyer and brilliant orator. Napier also took up the legal profession, in which he made good; then he became a financier. He founded and is at present the cashier of one of the strongest banks conducted by Negroes in this country. When he goes to Washington in February he will be amply prepared to take up the duties that await him. Finance is indeed the strong forte of John C. Napier, and in this new field of labor he will be given greater opportunities for the display of his financial skill. In Tennessee the name of Napier is a passport of business integrity and confidence. His rating in Dun's and Bradstreet's most creditable, and his success as a financier is attested by his comfortable circumstances and the possession of a goodly portion of "worldly goods." While his companions were in politics he was in business, and now when his business is in such excellent shape he turns aside to political diversion more as a call of duty than one of necessity. Mr. Napier is no stranger to Washingtonians. There he studied law in Howard University Law school, and there he led one of the accomplished daughters of Hon. John M. Langton to the sitar to become his wife. His political record is clean and above reproach. He has been a favorite with both factions of the Republican party in his state for years. In the campaign leading up to the nomination of candidate for president Mr. Napier was an ardent supporter of Judge Taft, and he contributed much to the success of the Republican ticket. Mr. Napier is a member of the Jeanes fund board, a member of the board of trustees of Howard university, chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business league and is also a member of fraternal and religious organizations. The position of the treasury is a most responsible one. The signature of that official must be affixed to the currency of this nation. The position has been held by three colored men besides Mr. Napier-B. K. colored men besides W. Lyons and William F. Vernon. CALL ON DAN WILLIAMS, 306 3rd ST. SOUTH. FOR YOUR MEALS.

Pinchback, colored, at one time governor of Louisiana, has been appointed to a $3,500 position in the internal revenue service at Cincinnati, where he orally attended school. Pinchback at one time ran on the river and finally went to Louisiana, where he remained. At one election, in 1872, he was elected governor, representative and United States senator. He wanted to serve as senator, but the senate held him out for three years and finally refused to admit him. In the house he met a similar fate. He served as governor of his state, however, and became prominent on that account among the people of his race. NEGRO WOMAN MAY HAVE BEEN 124 YEARS OLD.

He left a fortune estimated at more than $1,000,000. Twenty persons were injured when the grand stand at Aux Vasse, Mo., occupied by street-fair spectators, collapsed. Ten of the victims were seriously hurt, two probably fatally. The latter are E. L. Boyd and J. T. Atkinson, both internally injured. From the West Indies to the Florida coast, throughout the region of the Tortugas and from the Florida coast to Mexico in the gulf the seas are in the grasp of a hurricane which is striking terror to the hearts of the people of the whole immense area. The United States, the greatest cotton-producing country of the world, imported in the fiscal year 1910 86, 037,691 pounds of raw cotton, valued at $15,816,138, the second largest year's importation of cotton in the history of the country. Twenty-five persons were hurt when a runaway car in the Bronx, N. Y. going down and crashed into an elephant pillar and was cut in two. A table compiled by New York customs officials shows that the antismuggling crusade of the last two years has caused the amount of duties collected to be nearly trebled. The island of Cuba has probably sustained the greatest material disaster in all her history in the practically continuous cyclone which began with light rains, developing into torrential floods and devastating hurricanes. It is impossible to estimate even roughly the amount of damage which doubtless will aggregate many millions of dollars. Claude Grahame-White, the English aviator, sailed his Farman biplane over the city of Washington from Bennings and paid a social call to the army and navy officials landing near the White House. St. Peter.—Not a ripple of content or dissension ruffled the fifty-second annual conference of the Presbyterian synod of Minnesota, and rumors of a clash which indicates that the opponents to the administration of Dr. T. M. Hodgman of Minneapolis, who were expected to carry the fight against Dr. Hodgman before the synod, decided to interest of the school will be benefited by withholding action. Sixty-three years of service in the pulpit forty years of which were spent at Sing Sig prison, is the record of Dr. Wilson Phraner, pastor of Minnesota Avenue Presbyterian church of Orange, N. J., who addressed the Minnesota synod. Dr Phraner is the delegate to the board of home missions. Rev. H. C. Swearingen of St. Paul, in speaking as representative of the board of education, told of the objects of the formation of the school board. "A fallacious impression is held as to the reason for the creation of the board," he said. "It is not intended as a provider of money for young men to enter the ministry. It occupies a bronder field. It furnishes funds and provides a paternal influence that guides the student through his course and watches his moral as well as his financial welfare." The board, the speaker said, maintains a bureau at Philadelphia where thousands of names of eligible young men are kept from literature is sent to study of theology youth displaying strength of character and qualifications that show their adaptability. Elder C. T. Thompson led a discussion on educational matters following the addresses on the university. The failure of the churches to follow the students after entering college was displaced by the speaker and stress laid on the attempt of the national organization to increase the care of students by ministers.

NELSON SCORES TAG.FF. Senator Opene Campaign With Speech At Alexandra. Alexandria.—The Alexandria theater was filled to hear Senator Nelson open the campaign in this county. Senator Nelson was greeted with hearty applause on his appearance before his audience. The senator covered national and state issues quite thoroughly, giving a history of republican legislation for more than twenty years. Mr. Nelson discussed railroad and anti-trust legislation very thoroughly, explaining the workings of the various acts pertaining to rates and combinations. The senator voiced his objection to the bill stating that it did not meet his bill; it failed to reduce the wool schedule more that on cotton and failed to give the people relief on the lumber tariff. Mr. Nelson commended Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft on their conservation policies as on other acts of their administrations. Especially did Mr. Nelson commend President Taft for his persistent effort to secure effective legislation. Senator Nelson dealt thoroughly on state issues and the policies of the republican party in Minnesota. The senator spoke for more than two hours and was listened to with close attention by the large audience. Many persons were present from neighboring towns and the surrounding country. MR. LINDBERGH BECOMES EDITOR Sixth District Congressman to Issue New Magazine. Sauk Center.—Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, of the Sixth district, has purchased a printing plant and will issue a progressive magazine, which will deal scientifically with the problems of labor interests, the relation of the government to daily life and farming interests. Mr. Lindbergh will continue to send out his letters to the public press from Washington, but in addition he will make known through this new magazine the inner workings of the government and will deal with many phases of extraordinary conditions that he has come in contact with in his congressional work. He expects to supplement what he says in his letters to the press with a more full detail of the workings of congress in such a manner that would not find space in the daily news newspapers. RUSH TRAINING SCHOOL WORK. Girls to be Moved from Red Wing to Sauk Center Soon. Sauk Center.—Mrs. Fannie French Morse, whose Massachusetts methods of training the girls in the state school at Red Wing were recently so violently assailed, has made an inspection of the four cottages in course of erection here. She was greatly pleased with the rapidity of the contractor's work. The contractors have been notified to rush the buildings, so that the desire of the board of control to move the girls as soon as possible to Sauk Center should be realized. In consequence of this rush order the buildings will be completed before the scheduled time. The plasterers and electricians are already at work on one cottage and the other three are rapidly nearing completion of the external parts. MAKES MONEY IN CABBAGES. Sherburne County Farmer Has 50,000 Head for Ready Market. St. Cloud.—The small yield of wheat on his farm will not cause much worry to Joseph Teders, who lives five miles southeast of this city in Sherburne county, for Mr. Teders this summer raised a crop of cabbage which will put any wheat crop to shame, Mr. Teders planted eight acres of cabbage last spring and has now over 50,000 heads for sale. He is selling them at 6 cents each, which will bring him about $3,000. The cabbages were raised on low soil in which they stood the drouth well. The entire crop will be sent in carload lots to the Twin Cities. Amendment to Constitution for Reforestation. It requires a majority of all votes cast at the election, Nov 8, to adopt the proposed amendment to the constitution for an annual tax of $1/15 of a mill on the dollar (equal to seven cents on $1,000). If adopted it will raise about $72,000 annually, which will be used by the Forestry Board in buying, at not exceeding $3 per acre, forestry land and producing and maintaining forest thereon according to forestry principles. Constitutional amendments are liable to be neglected by the voter, and it will require much attention to secure a majority vote. Forty years ago patriotic men in this state laid the foundation of our present permanent school fund of $20,000,000. Now is a chance for this generation to show regard for the future. Telephone Franchise Is Void. East Grand Forks. — Judge Watts of the Polk county district court handed down his final decision declaring the franchise granted by the East Grand Forks city council to the Tri-State Telephone company to be void.

WEARER OF TOGA FROM PORT DODGE PASSES AWAY UNDER DOCTORS TREATMENT. HELD HIGH PLACE AS STATESMAN Dilation of Heart the Cause...He Had Been About All Day and Thought Himself Recovered. Fort Dodge, Iowa,—Jonathon Prentiss Dolliver, United States senator, died of dilation of the heart, caused by an attack of acute indigestion at his residence here, while being rubbed by an osteopath. Senator Dolliver's death was wholly unexpected by his relatives and friends who that he had almost entirely recovered from the attack of indigestion with which he had been suffering for a week. Senator Dolliver had been up all day and had made a trip from his residence down town. He told several of the men whom he met that he believed he had completely recovered from the indisposition which followed his trip through Wisconsin on a speechmaking tour for Senator La Follette. While working over Senator Dolliver the Osteopath physician was using JONATHAN P. DOLLIVER. United States Senator from Iowa. an instrument to listen to the senator's heart action. The physician unexpectedly discovered that he was no longer hearing the heart beats. He at first thought that his instrument was faulty. An examination revealed that his patient was dead. Senator Dolliver's illness dates back over a year and a half. Before going $^2$ Washington for the last session of congress, he became slightly ill, but this illness was not regarded as especially serious. Last year he had trouble with his eye, and submitted to an operation. A few weeks later, word was received in Fort Dodge that he was confined to his bed on account of illness, the exact nature of which was not made known. It was given out here by his intimate friends, that he was threatened with a general physical collapse. Overtaxed His Health. At the close of congress, Mr. Dolliver announced that he would take a long rest, and that he would go to New Mexico to recuperate his health. He spent a few weeks in that state, and returned to Iowa, declaring that Iowa climate was good enough for him and that he would remain in this state until congress convened again. Mr. Dolliver announced before the Republican convention in Iowa that he was in the best of health and that his rest had restored him. He was chosen permanent chairman of the convention. At the beginning of Senator LaFollette's campaign in Wisconsin, Mr. Dolliver announced his intention of entering that state to assist his candidacy. In the meantime, however, he had gone into Ohio and Indiana to investigate some records relative to the International Rubber Trust. He worked hard gathering his data, and this added work seemed to affect his health. Philsician diagnosed his case as stomach trouble, which interfered with his heart action. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 o'clock. The obsequies will be in charge of Rev. W. H. Spence, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Fort Dodge. Bishop Luther B. Wilson of Pennsylvania, Dr. Frank Gunsaulus of Chicago, Dr. Newell Dight Hills of New York City and Gov. B. F. Carroll of Iowa, were invited to make funeral orations. If the weather is good the services will be held on the lawn of the Dolliver home. If this is not feasible, the orations will be delivered in the First Methodist church. Burial will be in Oakland cemetery, Fort Dodge, by the side of Senator Dollier's parents. Town's Mainstay Is Burned Alabaster.

A little girl had been so very naughty that her mother found it necessary to shut her up in a dark closet—in that family, the direst punishment for the worst offense. For 15 minutes the door had been locked without a sound coming from behind it. Not a whimper, not a sniffle. At last the stern but anxious parent unlocked the closet door and peered into the darkness. She could see nothing. "What are you doing in there?" she cried. And then a little voice piped from the blackness: "I tiph on your new dress and I tiph on your new hat, and I'm waiting for more tiph to come to tiph on your new parasol!" Laura Jean Libbey, discussing in Brooklyn her successful appearance on the stage, said: "I talk in my monologue about love, marriage and the other interests of the heart. On these subjects women, especially young women, are strangely ignorant. "They really make me think, you know, of the little girl who was asked by her teacher: "What can you tell us about Solomon?" "Solomon," replied the little girl, "was very fond of animals." "And how, my dear," said the teacher, "ou make that out?" "Because," answered the little girl, 'the Bible says he had 400 porcupines.' Like the Other Kind. It was in a "down east" village that the young man met his sweetheart, a charming country beauty.

"The taste was very nice," she said, with a rather slimly smile, "but I think that I like the other kind of cream best, dear."—Lippincott's. Its Advantages.

"All my life I have been such a slave to coffee that the very aroma of it was enough to set my nerves quivering. I kept gradually losing my health but I used to say 'Nonsense, it don't hurt me.' "Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my whole nervous force was shattered. "My heart became weak and uncertain in its action and that frightened me. Finally my physician told me, about a year ago, that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. "I was in despair, for the very thought of the medicines I had tried so many times nauseated me. I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee. "Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious, nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you know I found it very easy to shift from coffee to Postum and not mind the change at all?" "Almost immediately after I made the change I found myself better, and as the days went by I kept on improving. My nerves grew sound and steady, I slept well and felt strong and well-balanced all the time. "Now I am completely cured, with the old nervousness and sickness all gone. In every way I am well once more." It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison, for health is the greatest fortune one can have.

The Place of Honor. Farmer Hodge was of the good, old-fashioned school, and he always gave a feast to his hands at harvest time. He harvested time and the feast was about to commence. Giles was the oldest hand and the hostess, with beaming cordiality, motioned him to the seat by her right hand. But Giles remained silently unresponsive. "Come," said the hostess, "don't be bashful, Mr. Giles"—he was just Giles on ordinary occasions—"you've a right to the place of honor, you know." Giles deliberated a moment, then spoke.

"Charity stamps," first used in Boston in 1863 the soldiers' relief funds during the soldier war, were the original forerunners of the Red Cross Christmas seal, which will be used this year to bring happiness and cheer to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis society in 1907 for the first time in America made use of a stamp for the purpose of getting revenue to fight consumption. In a hastily organized campaign of only three weeks they realized $3,000. The next year, 1908, the American Red Cross conducted the first national tuberculosis stamp campaign. From this sale $135,000 was realized for the anti-tuberculosis movement. In 1909, under many adverse conditions, $250,000 was realized from these stamps. This year the slogan of the tuberculosis fighters and the Red Cross is "A Million for Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals in 1910." Two Englishmen were resting at the Red Home inn at Stratford-on-Avon.

PHILLIPS Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press Richard Coniston was in love with a picture. He who had traveled thrice around the world and seen the famous beauties of many lands was irresistibly attracted by a wholesome American girl outlined on a calendar. The picture was evidently from a photograph. The girl stood in the foregoround, slenderly graceful and vigorous, a smile on her winnie face. She was poised in the act of swinging a golf club on a little white ball. In the background was a fine old gentleman with snowy side whiskers, or two three caddies and some lookers-on. Coniston, young and rich, had settled two on his big estate, determined to win once more; but two months of staring at "The Golf Girl," as he called her, had aroused the old restlessness. He felt that at least he must see her. At the bottom of the calendar was the name of a publishing house located in Chicago. In small letters was also the copyright imprint of the calendar manufacturers. They were in New York. Chicago was nearest to Coniston, though still a long distance away. He packed his bag one morning, after wrapping up the calendar carefully and stowing it therein, and left for Chicago. Some days later he reached the city. It was easy to find the printing house and get an interview with the manager. The latter recognized the picture instantly. Yes, that was some work which their presses had turned off a year before for a photographic supply firm. "A photographic supply firm?" echoed Coniston in surprise. "Why, this bears the advertisement of the idlewild Calendar Company." "Can't help that," returned the manager. "We got it out for the Camera Supply Company, of Portland, Maine. We simply print the pictures and mount them; they put the inscription on themselves. After they have used a photograph for six months or so to boom their plates and cameras, they sell the right of production to the calendar people. See?" Coniston saw. He also felt satisfied that the manager knew nothing of the identity of "The Golf Girl." HE FELT AT LEAST HE MOUK JEE HER So he put the calendar back in his grip and caught the first train east. He did notarry in New York; Portland was his destination. The photographic supply company would be more likely to have authoritative information than the calendar company. An open switch, which caused the train to leave the rails and bump him out of his berth on to the floor of the sleeper, gave Coniston something to remember the journey by. Fortunately, the train was not going fast, and he escaped with a few brusses. The president of the Portland concern, a shrewd, middle-aged, kindly man, scanned a romance in Coniston's request for information. He was sympathetic, though not very helpful. "Usually our advertising man gets the subjects for display photographs," he said; "but this picture has a different history. It was secured by the former president of the company and sent here over a year ago. He was very wealthy and rarely visited the house, though holding a big interest in it. Well, he requested that the photograph be freely used, and, of course, that was done, especially as it is striking and artistic. "He died very suddenly six months ago, never having told us anything Too Strong to Be Cured. Verdict of the French Physician at Brides-les-Bains Made the American Sorrowful. Now that we look back upon our experience, we realize that Brides-les-Bains is the most serious cure of the many that we encountered. We are so apt to associate the Latines with a lightness of purpose that it took us two days to realize that the visitors did not arise at five in the morning with the sole intention of talking some more, nor that they went to bed at ten because the lights were turned out. More than that, while there was a casino and a band, there was no gambling, and the Frenchman who spends all day without the comfort of the little horse" had a very and liver indeed. And more than this, to prove the sincerity of the cure, the consulting physician pronounced the illustrator to be unit for the drinking of the waters. My companion and I drew in our breaths sharply at this announcement. about the central figure in the picture. His widow sold out her holdings to me without coming to Portland, so while we were curious, we could not question her about it. Quite recently, when it lost its advertising value to us through long display, we sold the picture to the Condar house. We know no more of the young lady there," he pointed to Coniston's calendar, "than you do." "Perhaps the widow might be able to help me," said Coniston, hopefully, "so you give me her address, please?" The president shook his head regrettfully. "I'm sorry to say that I can't," he replied. "The negotiations for her stock were conducted through my attorneys exclusively. The family had several homes scattered through the United States, and Mr. Hollingworth was constantly on the wing. And the widow said that she was very anxious to close up his business so she and her daughter might go abroad again." He studied the calendar and smiled. "I rather think Mr. Hollingworth liked to have that photograph circulated because he was in it himself." The president pointed to the old gentleman with the sidewhiskers. "That was his picture?" "Yes." And, as Coniston rose to go, "I wish you luck." The calendar house was now Coniston's last hope. He hastened back to New York. But it had moved to a small town in Pennsylvania, Midvale, which fact he discovered only after three days of vexatious search. He went to Midvale. The office of the calendar company proved to be a busy place. It was a big room in which a half-dose typewriters clacked. Five of the sitypsters were pert, pretty young women who cast occasional interested glances at the good-looking Coniston. They found him, however, stolidly unresponsive. The sixth stenographer was a tale, frightened little thing with a red hair, who was alternately bullied and ignored by the others. In spite of his down-heartedness at the failure of his search so far, Coniston found time to feel sorry for her. After an hour's wait he was summoned to the manager's office. The burly, black-browed young man he found scowling out of the window did not seem to be in very good humor. "Well, what do you want?" he growled ungraciously when "oniston entered. A moment later he cut short his visitor's tale with an insulting laugh. "Oh, oh, he said, so loudly that Coniston was saying the words carried to the outer office," he mouth-matter stuck on 'The Golf Girl,' ch? Well, you don't get her address from me. We're not helping mashers. She's probably no better than she ought to be, but——" Coniston struck him squarely in the mouth with a force that crumpled the man into a heap in the corner. Then he walked out. In the outer office he paused a moment to smile reassuringly at the startled force. The red-haird girl seemed more frightened and forlorn than ever. Impulsively he took the carnation from his buttonhole and laid it on her freckled little hand. At dusk that evening he stood outside the little railway station, awaiting the New York train. A card was thrust into his hand from behind. He turned to see the figure of a girl hastening away. Her hair gleamed red under a street light. He examined the card. On it was written: "Miss Marjory Hollingsworth, Echo, Cove, California," and Coniston laughed light-heartedly. He had found "The Golf Girl" at his door, since Echo Cove and the town which his estate adjoins, Glen Duglass, are by seven miles apart. Some of the very few folk who know the above story maintain that Dick Coniston purchased lifelong happiness with a ten-cent carnation; but the rest know that he won his pretty wife and deserves her because of his generosity and innate kindness of heart. How It Looked. Old Tightwad had just paid his clerk $—representing the amount due him for a week's work—and the young man was examining it through a magnifying glass. "What's the matter?" asked the boss. "Afraid it's counterfeit?" "Oh, no," replied the clerk, "but this glass magnifies ten times, and that is just about what I earn." Not His Fault. Don't laugh at a man with bowlers if he could help them he would. My jaded conscience pricked me a bit—perhaps, after all, the mau was ill! The man himself cast upon me a heterogenous look of despair and triumph. "You mean," he said to the physician, "that I am not well enough to stand the treatment?" "Mon Dieu, no," replied the honest soul; "you are too well—you do not need the waters!" He paused dramatically, waiting for an aesthetic acceptance of his verdict. And he is still waiting, and wondering at the strangeness of the American who went away sorrowfully like the rich young man of the Bible, and, passing through the shaded walk, wistfully at the mountains of flesh gathered about the source, mugs it, their pudgy hands.—Louise Closser Hale, in Harper's Magazine.

REULBACH HAD MANY STARTS Crack Pitcher of the Champion Chicago Cuba Says College Training Assisted Him Greatly; By ED REULBACH. (Copyright, 1910, by Joseph B. Bowley). My start in professional baseball is hard to find, as I had started several times. I am willing to tell the facts of the case now, and defend them, because I always thought a college pitcher had the right to pitch for money when not at his own college. I did not consider it wrong. I had pitched around Detroit and St. Louis as a boy, and being strong and having a lot of speed, had made some little reputation among the fellows. I wanted to go to college and I did not want my family to have to bear all the expenses. In fact, while they could have afforded it, I thought it better to earn my way. I could make money pitching baseball, and I would offered certain favors, which would materially reduce the expense, if I would have gone to college and go in for athletics. I did not consider this as a salary or bribe, and as I would have gone to the college, anyhow, I thought it as legitimate for me to pay part of my expenses by playing ball as it would have been for a skillful student to keep books for the varsity and help pay his way. Also I determined to pitch during vacations and to make it pay my college expenses. Under the rules I did not dare use my own name, as that would have barred me. So I pitched under an assumed name. This might be considered unfair to pitchers for rival colleges, and taken to give me an unfair advantage, but the truth is that it was not so, for two reasons. In the first place the rival pitchers also were pitching all summer, whether or not they had to play. But the second reason is better. It is a fact that what I learned about pitching at college helped me more in the minor leagues than what I learned in the minor leagues helped me at college. So I did not gain any unsportsmanlike advantage at all. My real start was with the Chicago C Ed Reulbach. Cubs, and I guess it was about the warmest start ever a young pitcher made. I made my first two appearances against New York, had them beat each time and each time blew up in the ninth inning and threw away the game. That I stuck to baseball after what the old players said to me after those games showed that I was determined to succeed. They had me on the point of jumping out of windows both times, but I got mad and determined to stick and show them I could pitch. I guess that was about all that kept me. They figured if I could stand what they said to me I would have nerve enough to stick through anything. The only reason I write this is to defend summer baseball for college players. I think a college player ought to be permitted to earn money in summer baseball if he has the ability, and allowed a chance to earn his college expenses just as well as the student who sells books should be allowed to pay his way through school. SHARKEY YELLS FOR 'ARTHUR' Once Noted Fighter Witnesses Initial Performance of Play and Misunderstands Host. Tim McGrath is as full of stories concerning Tom Sharkey as a coconut is full of milk. For the last ten years the McGrath stories have been making the rounds. Here's the latest: It seems that Tim and a friend of his who had just written a play, and was to have the same produced at the Central theater in San Francisco, induced Sharkey to be a first nighter and witness the initial performance. All went well, and after the first act the players were called out and cheered and applauded. Then Tim turned to Sharkey and said: "Vell for the author." "Tell for who?" "The author." "Is that the guy's name? All right, Arthur! Arthur! Arthur!" It took Tim five minutes to stop the enthusiastic sailor and tell him where he was off.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could but little work. They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. "They also cured a bad sore on the hand of my neighbor's children, and they think very highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So Effingham, N.H.

The white man wants your vote. Do you know its value? Are you willing to promiscuously present it to him? Consider carefully, and act accordingly! You should know its worth. They have disfranchised negroes in certain parts for this reason,—that his vote was his defense. If properly exercised, this right which you hold, will place in power the men, who can help you, if they keep promises after election. The days of reconstruction are past. The negro is in his "Era of Political Freedom." Vote for your personal interest, and you will vote for your race's welfare. This does not mean "a small sum of money," but for the men who stand for the principles of right. Assert your individuality, regardless of party. The negro has been the automatic property of the Republicans, without fair compensation, and has not given his support to Democrats, who have individually, helped his race. "Right of suffrage" is your only constitutional right. Be not bound to a party. The party of a few years ago may be different today. The principles of yesterday are changed today. The candidate who stands for right and justice to all men, regardless of color or conditions, who knows the policies of Lincoln and Grant, and lives up to them. Who does not recite history, but promises to give to your people their share of consideration after election, is the man you should vote for. DO YOU KNOW HIM? 8. A. STOCKWELL Candidate for school board. COUNTY OPTION "The adoption of a county option law by the Legislature would not endanger the Minneapolis patrol limits and the local option law. If Hennepin County were to vote dry under County Option, the saloons would be closed. If it did not so vote, neither the patrol limits or the dryness of the villagers would be affected." CLEVELAND JOURNAL SAYS THIS IS DAY OF INDEPENDENT VOTING. This is the day of independent voting and it is not a great surprise any more to see rock-ribbed districts and states roll up a majority for a man whose politics is opposite to that usually victorious. So then, citizens of our race, who have just as strongly independent notions as those of others, could not much be blamed if for "good and sufficient reasons" they voted for some man other than a Republican. —Cleveland Journal. The Republican party has finally "come out" and offered the Hon. P. B. S. Pinchback a position. Well! He deserved it. When the party followed the advice of our race leaders and attempted the elimination of the Negro, he then stepped down and out gracefully and comfortably. He is truly the "Old Roman." A veteran of the days of reconstruction, and a credit to his race. The Republican Leaders of the State of Minnesota, (campaign managers) are against the Negro Independent Political League. They fear that it will draw votes from the Republicans, and they are making issues against any political advertising in this paper on that account. Well it will draw votes from them alright, and when they "Get Busy" it will be too late. We may mention a local Big Brewery which accuses this paper of "fighting their interests" that is "The Republican Party." The colored people of Minneapolis are entitled to the news and that this is an independent paper. But hopes to live after this campaign and will defend its rights against any coercion by party or interests. The Twin City Star is the individual property of the Editor and he does not respect any individual or party, who seeks to use such corrupt principles to promote their interest New Negro Political Movement National Anti-Jim Crow Car Law Five Pledges for Candidates. The Platform. It is time, therefore, for an independent Negro movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men. We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. 2. National legislation against lynching and mob law. 3. The passage of a national anti Jim Crow law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution so as to stop disfranchisement and peonage. Mr. Phillip F. Hale, politician, has earned the title of "The Man Who Does (NO) Things." ORGANIZATION. There is no advancement towards Organization in these parts. The single-handed hustlers of the Republican party may meet on the stairs of committee headquarters. Phil. Hale has been given the dispensation of all patronage and is the recognized authority on all political issues and conditions. He can guess the Governor's thoughts to the fraction of a think, and (without smoking) can see himself as the coming messenger. We assume that he knows whereof he speaks, considering that his political information is boundless, and his prestige unlimited. He solicits the applications of many aspirants for offices and they get only this "The reason why we didn't land etc." His lobbyistic proclivities are so well known that he has become the political goblin to those "who are afraid to come out after dark." And from now on day light meetings are in vogue. This personal grata has the nerve to stamp his title to the political cards of candidates. This action alone loses them a vote. There are many reasons why the people do not repudiate such as he, but it is the will of the Republican party, and if they want him, to carry out their contemptible principles against the wishes of the people. We say—He's yours, with pleasure. MISSOURI LEADS SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS. In According Full Political Rights To Negroes. In the Democratic platform of that party in Missouri there is a plank proclaiming their friendship for the black race, and declaring that they never will discriminate against the Negro, either by criminal laws or by attempting to deprive him of his rights of suffrage. This declaration breathes the right spirit and the willingness to accord to every citizen the same rights and privileges under the law, and while it may be considered a bid for the Negro vote it furnishes the only basis upon which that vote could be consistently divided. Should the Democrats of other states put themselves as squares on record in this matter as have the Democrats of Missouri it would only be a question of a short time when the Negro would divide upon all public questions, as other men and races divide and cast their votes accordingly.—American Baptist. WHAT "PROGRESSIVE" MEANS. Colonel Roosevelt said: "The issue of the day is the struggle of free men to gain and hold the right of self-government as against special interests who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will." "We must drive the special interests of politics. That is one of our tasks today. Every special interest is entitled to justice—full, fair and complete—but not one is entitled to a vote in congress, a voice on the bench or to representation in any public office." The Episcopal minister who said that the Emancipation of the Negroes was "a dire disaster" would as soon "lead a lynching-party as he would a prayer-meeting." "Cannonism," and "The System" are epitaphs on the Republican Political gravestones. The colored vote of Minneapolis is a power" in this election. The "old guard" of the city of New York was the black vote of the old 11th Assembly district, which never went Democratic, and never was given any patronage, excepting janitorships etc., and a cook or valet of a political leader was the leader of the colored voters. S. A. STOCKWELL Candidate for school board FALLEN HEROES We are sad to notice that the ranks of the "honorable survivors" of that "immortal strife", are being diminished by that unconquerable foe—Death. Members of the Loyal Legion and G. A. R., are dying each day. Many of these men have always done the things which have produced the best results for our race. History will never fall to record their achievements, which the Nations will always commemorate. But postityer has long ago forgotten the principles. Our race's friends are fast departing. Let us honor the "remaining few". GIFTED MUSICAL GENIUS HEARD Ovation Given Professor Stewart at Oratorio In Greensboro. ABLE VOCALIST AND COMPOSER Former Instructor of Music at Wilberforce University, Who Studied Under Noted German Professor, Has Had a Widening Career as Tutor and Vocal Solist—President Dudley's Tribute. The leading character in the oratorio entitled the "Holy City," by Gaul, recently given in the Methodist Episcopal church at Greensboro, N. C., was Professor Charles E. Stewart, head of the music department of the Agricultural and Mechanical College For Afro-Americans. Hundreds of white music lovers unreservedly enced Professor Stewart. His solo work, which ```markdown ``` gave him an opportunity to reveal his native ability as a basso singer, was inspiring. Afo-Americans, admirers of high class music, from cities and towns contiguous to Greensboro attended the oratorio, which was the musical treat of the season among our people in Greensboro and vicinity. Since going to the Greensboro section of North Carolina Professor Stewart has caused a greater appreciation of classical music on the part of the race than ever before. He is a potent force in the intellectual life of the community. He is a native of Detroit, Mich., but received most of his musical and literary training in Illinois. Upon finding that nature had endowed him to the extent that man was to be inspired by his voice he entered the Illinois Conservatory of Music, in which institution he received every encouragement. Professor Stewart afterward entered the Conservatory of Music in Chicago, from which he graduated with special honors. Sir Dr. Wooten of Leipzig, Germany, while in the United States became interested in Professor Stewart, and for a number of months the professor took lessons from this noted musician in piano, theory and vocal culture, the same subjects he had at his alma mater. Having a deep interest in Scriptural research work, Professor Stewart took a special theological training in Payne Academy in Wilberforce university. After being a private teacher of music in Illinois for some time, he accepted a position as professor of music in Wilberforce university. He taught at Wilberforce for four years and succeeded in bringing the music department of the university up to a high standard. President Dudley of the Agricultural and Mechanical college, of which Professor Stewart is the head of the music department, says he is a man of unusual ability and this fact is being demonstrated in his work. Several piano and vocal compositions have been written by this young musician which have been favorably received by music lovers in various sections of the country. As a musical director he has had a widening success. But his strong fort is that of a concert pianist and director. As a bassist he has few equals and his superior is yet to be found. Boydton Institute Closed For Repairs. The recent announcement that Boydton institute, Boydton, Va., will not reopen for the reception of students this fall has caused much disappointment and sincere regret on the part of the students and friends of the institution. For upward of thirty years the school has been the educational center for the Afro-American population of south side Virginia. The buildings will undergo much needed repairs, and the school will be opened in the fall of 1911 as a religious training institution. PARTY EMANCIPATION.
