This, however, is not likely to be granted in view of the fact the wages of the men are already higher and the cost of living much lower than in the United States. Immediately on his arrival in Panama the president proceeded to the American legation, where he was called on by President Arosemena. President Taft returned the call at the palace and then went to the banquet. After an address of cordial welcome by the Panaman president, Mr. Taft said: "The birth of the republic of Panama and the peculiar interest which the United States has had in Panama's welfare and prosperity have found a common cause in the construction of the Panama canal. The treaty between the two countries makes the United States the guarantor of the Panama republic and therefore in a sense the guardian of the liberties of her people secured by its constitution. Our responsibility for your government requires us closely to observe the course of conduct by those selected as the officials of your government after they are selected and to insist that they be selected according to law. Does Not Call for Annexation. "All this makes us especially interested in what is done in your government, but this relation neither calls for nor permits annexation. We are here to construct, maintain, operate and defend the world canal which runs through the heart of your country and you have given us the necessary sovereignty and jurisdiction to enable us to do this effectively.

NO ANNEXATION CONTEMPLATED Chief Executive of the United States Delivers an Address at a Banquet in Panama, Which is Attended by Two Hundred Persone—Says United States Will Not Interfere With Affairs of Republic Unless Absolutely Necessary. Panama, Nov. 17.—President Taft disposed of the report that the United States was likely to annex Panama at a dinner given in his honor by President Arosemena and attended by 200 prominent officials, diplomats and merchants. President Taft aroused the greatest enthusiasm when he said the American people would feel utterly dishonored in annexing Panama, unless some conduct on the part of the Panama people left no other course. This contingency Mr. Taft was sure never would arise. The president arrived at Panams from Culebra, after spending an in teresting day in the great cut. The recent landslides were visible, but they were in no wise disturbing to the president or to Colonel Goethals, the latter saying that they were taken care of as they occur until the degree of wall slope should prevent a recurence. The president reviewed the marines at Camp Elliott, later hearing grievance committees who asked for an increase in pay. Not Likely to Be Granted. Does Not Call for Annexation. "We do not wish any further responsibility in respect to your government than is necessary in the carrying out of our purpose to construct and maintain this canal. We have no desire to add to the territory under our jurisdiction, except as the operation of the canal may require it. "We have guaranteed your integrity as a republic and for us to annex territory would be to view it as a guarantee and nothing would justify it on our part. We would justify as Panama performs part under the treaty. "I am glad to say that there is not the slightest indication or probability that the Panaman people will ever pursue a policy which would require such a change in the present most satisfactory relations between the two republics."

Franklin, Esq, our progressive and rising young lawyer, is justly elated because of his recent victory over that celebrated leader of the Hennepin County Bar, Freeman P. Lane, Esq. Mr. Lane has, and has had, for thirty years, a reputation in these parts as an adroit and most successful practitioner of civil cases, second to none, and it speaks highly of Mr. Franklin's ability, for him to be able, (considering his recent admission, as compared to the long and honored career of Mr. Lane) to beat that leader in one of the most abstruse and technical cases, in the most technical branch of the civil law, viz., negotiable instruments. ATTY. W. H. H. FRANKLIN. Whatever else may be said of Mr Franklin, he is at least, as his fellow students at the University have always sworn, fully capable of grasping and successfully handling, the most abstruse and technical points of his profession; especially in the civil branches, which he makes his specialty. We have able and even brilliant criminal lawyers, but the crying need of our race, heretofore, has been for attorneys versed in, and qualified to successfully manage civil business; our business ventures are increasing as well as our property holdings, while, as we progress, our crime decreases. It seems that Nature does regard the law of supply and demand, seriously, and that she will and does supply our necessary wants. All hall to the new hope of a brighter future!

"The negro should become better producers, and where there is this larger culture, they will respond. It is not true that the negro with white blood succeeds better than the full blooded one. I deny this. If you give him the opportunity, we enjoy, he will succeed, for he is a man." MARSHALL COACHES U. OF M. TEAM. Marshall is now 1st Asst.

Celebration at Samuel Huston to Run Through Ten Days. NOTED EDUCATORS TO ATTEND NOTED EDUCATORS TO ATTEND Well Known School Which Started In Austin, Tex., Many Years Ago Will Tell What It Has Accomplished in Ten Years of Actual Work—Professor Lovinggood's Career. The phenomenal progress which Samuel Huston college, at Austin, Tex., has made during its comparatively brief existence will be the occasion for the gathering of many former students as well as stanch friends of the school at the tenth anniversary exercises, which begin on Tuesday, Nov. 22, and continue until Friday, Dec. 2. The Samuel Huston college had its beginning some thirty years ago with the clamor of the colored people of that section for good school facilities for the children of that great cotton section of the country, with over 1,000,000 colored people. In 1898 Samuel Huston, an Iowa farmer, gave $8,000, with which six acres of land were purchased and a building started. Professor R. S. Lovinggood was elected by the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church as president of the school. With the aid of Mrs. Lovinggood he started to build up the school, which under his guidance has done so much for the intellectual and moral development of the race in Texas. --- The work has steadily grown in importance and value to that vicinity, and the school now has property valued at nearly $100,000 and over 500 students. Professor Lovinggood has the implicit confidence of the white and colored people of Texas and has their most cordial support in his work. Among the many speakers at the anniversary exercises will be Governor R. S. LOVINGGOOD. Campbell of Texas, Bishop Moore of the Methodist Episcopal church, Mayor A. P. Woolridge of Austin, Dr. W. P. Thirkle, president of Howard university; Dr. M. C. B. Mason of the Freedmen's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church and E. T. Burrows of Maine. A special campaign will soon be waged to raise $10,000 with which to build a trade building for boys. Professor Lovinggood was born in Stainholla, S. C., in 1864. After finishing the college course at Clark university, Atlanta, Ga., in 1890 he began the publication of the Atlanta Times. He sold his interest in the Times in 1893 to accept the principalship of one of the public schools of Birmingham, Ala. In 1863 he accepted the chair of Latin and Greek at Wiley university, Marshall, Tex., where he labored with signal success until his selection as the builder up of the new university. He is a prominent layman in the Methodist church, has been a delegate to several general conferences, and he now represents the seventh Episcopal district on the board of foreign missions.

Five men are dead and eighteen injured as the result of an explosion in the mine of the Shoal Creek Coal company of Chicago, at Panama, 12 miles north of Hillaboro, Ill. Four of the men were killed outright and the fifth died later from injuries. Japan is preparing a factory law to be brought before the diet next season. The bill will prohibit employment of children under twelve years old, and those of sixteen and over will not be permitted to work more than twelve hours a day. Royal millinery in huge quantities was the final feather that caused the Portuguese revolution, says Frances P. Paulus, a Detroit artist who has returned home from seven years' residence in Europe. Steamer reports tell of the ceremonies of the "sow soul" celebration which took place in Tokyo recently to appease the "souls" of the animals slaughtered to feed the Japanese army, during the recent war with Russia. Mali advices received at Hongkong from Lelnchou, in Kwang Su province, report that rioters have burned and demolished numerous buildings there, including the American Presbyterian church, hospital and college, and proceeded to Tsol Yuen Po, intending to slay the missionaries. The gentry, however, assisted the latter to escape in boats to Canton. Fifteen officers and directors of the Imperial Window Glass company pleaded nolle contendere before Judge James S. Young in the United States district court at Pittsburg, Pa., to a violation of the Sherman anti-trust act and each was fined $500. At the same time a fine of $2,500 was imposed upon the corporation itself with costs. With the hearty approval of the judges of the juvenile court and the police commissioner, the newsbys' court was opened in Boston with three schoolboy judges. It will dispose of petty offenses by newsbys. The high cost of living does not appear to have diminished savings, according to figures compiled in the treasury department. Deposits in the 1,759 savings banks during the year increased to more than $4,000,000,000. The average depositor's account was $445.22, just $24.77 above the average of the year before. The total of the deposits has swelled $357,000,000 during the year. The annual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union opened in Baltimore with an address by President Lillian M. N. Stevens. INDIAN AGENTS RAID SALOONS TWO SLEUTHS CHOP WAY INTO SECRET CELLAR UNDER BE- MIDJ RESORT. Bemidji, Nov. 17.—In a bold expedition against two Bemidji saloons which had ignored the government's order to close, agents of the Indian bureau faced a shotgun in the hands of one of the liquor men who a moment before had hit Agent Matulys on the head, knocking him from a high platform, where he landed on a broken beer bottle, inflicting a deep gash on the leg. The Indian agents drew their revolvers and proceeded with the destruction of liquor valued at several hundreds of dollars by the saloon-keepers. In one place the agent discovered a secret room in the basement built of cement and filled with whiskey and high priced wines. A blind trap door was the only entrance. The agents crawled through this door and, with axes, smashed several barrels of whiskey and casks of wine. Special Agent Matulys led the raid and the first place entered was Dudley & Mahan's, in the heart of the business district, well equipped and doing a thriving business. T. E. Brents, who has charge of the Indian bureau sub-agency in Beidmilj, was in the expedition. He approached Mr. Dudley and told him three warnings from the government had been ignored, reminded him he had opened his saloon but recently, after having once been closed by the government, and that upon telegraphic order from W. E. Johnson, head of the Indian bureau, he should be compelled to destroy his liquor stock. The work of destruction began at once. Barrels were broken open, casks dumped and bottled goods smashed. The lot comprised two barrels of whiskey, two barrels of eleven ounces of bottled goods, three case of bittels, ten gallon keg of whiskey, four cases of fancy whiskey, four case of champagne, six barrels of wine. Second Saloon Raided. From the Dudley & Mahon place the agents marched on the Lake Shore saloon of Louis Anderson, on Second street. Anderson had no resistance to offer and after taking a drink of his own whiskey turned the place over to the government agents, who quickly destroyed five barrels of whiskey, ten case of bottled whiskey, two cases of rock and rye, two gallons of wine and ten gallons of gin. The two gallons of gin was the closing development of the day was the closing of the Markham hotel bar. The Markham is the leading hotel here. Efforts to reopen the bar will be made. Agent Brents in charge of a squad composed of Agents Way, Quinn, Nemo, Kolberg and Patton, have gone to Park Rapids. At Kellher where Mayor Magill, who is agent for the Hamm Brewing Company, was warned that he must not accept a carload of beer consigned from that brewery, has ordered the beer reloaded and it is thought this will save the seven saloons there as long as their present supplies hold out. The saloonkeepers at Bagley whose supplies were destroyed are highly indignant and probably will seek redress in the courts inasmuch as they were licensed to do business as late as Nov. 1, at which time they were given both a state and government license. Federal Indian Agent Coming. Brents and a squad of deputies returned here from Park Rapids, where they destroyed the liquor of four saloons, and announced that W. E. Johnson considers the situation in this territory so important that he is coming for personal investigation. From other sources it is also learned that Commissioner of Indian Affairs Abbott, of Washington, who desires information first hand, will come to Bemidji. Bemidji saloonkeepers find new hope in the coming of these officials for they believe it possible that by cooperating with the government in an effort to keep liquor from the Indians they may be permitted to renew their business and dispose of the liquor which they now have on hand. After stating that his men discovered more than 3,000 gallons of liquor, Special Agent Brents said: "There is absolutely no truth in the report that the saloons of Bemidji are to be closed by either myself or my deputy special officers of the Indian department. I have no order from Washington to close the saloons of Bemidji now or any other time." Shipments Order is Good. "It should be understood, however, that the order restricting shipments holds good over the entire territory prescribed. The two saloon keepers whose stocks were demolished in Bemidji had disobeyed our orders. The men had agreed to close and ship their stock out of the dry zone. This they did not do. CLERGY APPROVE FISTIC ART English Ministers Advise Removal of Ban on Boxing—Growing in Popularity. The growing popularity of boxing has just received one striking proof in London, and, among other things, it is suggested that the sport tends to improve the manners of those who indulge in it. In deference to public pinton, the Camberwell borough "I have no intention of closing the saloon of any law widening citizen who may renew his license for the purpose of selling his stock on hand in a lawful manner. Deputy Special Officer N. A. Way who recently has been working under direction of Brens was transferred to Devils Lake, North Dakota, and has left for that place." In response to the question as to why Mr. Way was transferred Mr. Brens said: "He talked too much." Reports have reached Bemidjl that liquor is being shipped into and freely at Island Lake, Puposki, Fowls, Nebhjl and other towns north of Bemidjl in Belahi county on the Minnesota, Red Lake county and Manitoba railroad, and the town of Terfere on the ground that these places are outside of the Indian treaty zone. These towns are nearer the Indians for whose benefit the liquor restrictions are presumed to be enforced than any of the Beltrami towns in the dry belt as they are only a few miles from the Red Lake agency. BREWERS WILL OBEY ORDERS Beer Shipments to Indian Land to Cease, They Say. St. Paul, Nov. 17—The Minnesota brewers and liquor dealers will obey the order of the bureau of Indian affairs, which prohibits the shipping of liquor into the Indian territory of nor-hern Minnesota. They will not fight the order for the present. They are waiting to see whether the commercial bodies and the business interests of northern Minnesota will take up the fight. RECOUNT ON MAYORALTY. Decision in Favor of Defeated Candidate in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Nov. 17.—Recounting all the voting machines in the city will begin Friday morning, according to the order made by Judge Simpson on the complaint of W. E. Satterlee, Republican candidate for mayor. E. A. Force, C. J. Gotshall and Al P. Erickson were appointed referees. Mr. Force was picked by W. F. Me. Gee, attorney for Mr. Satterlee, Mr. Gotshall by James O'Brien, attorney for Mayor Haynes, and Mr. Erickson by Messrs. Force and Gotshall. The recount as made will determine the vote cast for Mayor Haynes, Mr. Satterlee and for Thomas Van Lear, Public Ownership candidate, whose attorney, G. B. Leonard, applied to Judge Simpson for the privilege of having Mr. Van Lear's figures included. COUNT TOLSTOI SINKS AGAIN. Physicians Say Condition Is Critical, Though Not Hopeless. Ashtapova, Nov. 17.—Count Leo Tol stof's illness as diagnosed by his physicians as creeping inflammation of the lungs. The condition of the aged author is critical but not hopeless. He experienced an increased temperature during the night, but late today the doctors said his temperature had fallen to 98.6. Owing to the rise in temperature during the night it was reported that the aged novelist had experienced an attack of hemoptysis. It is said that the countess wished to remove her husband on a special train from Ashtapova, where he 10 lodged in the hut of the railway station master, but that he refused to return to the home which he left, voluntarily to seek solitude elsewhere. INDIAN MATTERS TO CAPITAL. Congressional Investigation of Councerc Contracts at Washington. Washington, Nov. 17.—The congressional investigation of the whole question of Indian counsel contracts has been shifted from the West to Washington. Representative Burke of South Dakota, chairman of the special committee, who has been presiding over hearings in various western states, has arrived here and three or four of the other members will reach here in a few days. The committee is preparing for further hearings, a which a number of Washington attorneys engaged in Indian practice are to be examined. The original inquiry has been overshadowed, in some respects by the discovery of some contracts in which it is alleged, the fees charged the Indians amount to 30 and 40 per cent. Gay Times for Bluejackets London, Nov. 17.—The visit of the American warships to English ports is exciting the liveliest interest in England. It is expected that London will be filled with American sailors during the next few weeks and arrangements have been made to entertain the thousands of bluejackets who will come here from Portland and Gravesend. The men of the visiting fleet will be given all the privileges of the naval canteen at Portland. This is a courtly never before granted to the men of foreign ships. Judges of Election Indicted.

NEVER FORGOT HIS START "Chick" Fraser, Veteran Pitcher, Tells of Early Career—Took Great Care of Arm. BY "CHICK" FRASER. (Copyright, 1924, by Joseph B. Bowles). It has been so long ago that I scarcely remember when I started, but I never shall forget how I got my start. I had not the least idea of pitching baseball professionally but had mapped out a career for myself as an expert accountant. At that time there existed in Chicago an organization called the Boys' league. I was small and not strong, but I wanted to be a pitcher. The big boys didn't want me to play on the team even. I saw I hadn't a chance against them in strength, so determined to beat them some way and I sat down and studied the work of every pitcher I saw work. I went to the National league grounds every time a little pitcher worked and saw how he did. Then I went with my own crowd of boys and watched the things I had seen. One day I braced the manager of the Ogdens in the Boys' League and demanded a chance to pitch. I told him I could pitch better than any pitcher he had and made it so strong I guess he decided I must be as good as I said I 4 Charles ("Chick") Fraser. was. He put me in a game a few days later and I won, but imitating the pitching I had been studying I realized then that there were two things for me to do; first to take good care of my arm, and second to keep on studying the game. I do not want to place myself in the position of criticizing young players who are coming into the game but it seems to me that half of those I have seen tried and seen sent back as failures, failed merely because they thought they knew it all as soon as they got into the big leagues, and stopped progressing just at the time they ought to have been working hardest to learn more. I jumped from the Boys' League into fast company and soon was known as a "smart" pitcher. They called me smart chiefly because I studied and worked hard and was willing to learn anything anyone would show me. The care of my arm and body was always first in my mind. I worked as hard as anyone, but never neglected the salary arm. Mostly I used light massage, never a hard one, and light vibrations. Then too, I pitched in heavy flannels and guarded the arm and shoulder from colds. When I warmed up hard before a game I always changed to dry warm flannels before sitting on the bench and in that way avoided catching cold or having the arm stiffen up on me. I started successfully. I worked harder than ever and when my arm finally began to weaken a bit I studied out a new system of slants and used that. I adopted everything that came into the game and applied it to my style of pitching. I think this constant study of the game, and constant care of the arm added many years to my active service. MADE INSANE BY ATHLETICS College Boy of Noted Ancestry Suffers Through Ambition to Become Famous as Athlete. Samuel J. Randall Lancaster, son of Charles C. Lancaster, a prominent lawyer who practises in the supreme court at Washington, is suffering from dementia in the Hood Wright hospital, New York. He is a member of the Pennsylvania university football team. Associates say he was made insane by athletics. It was Lancaster's ambition to become a great runner, to lower running records, and do many other things that would win him fame. An entry in his diary read: "Get in good condition on track team so that you can win a medallion." The young man is a grandson of the famous Samuel J. Randall. ATTACK RACING IN MARYLAND Baltimore Presbyterian Synod Demands Legislation Prohibiting Bookmaking at Tracks. Legislation prohibiting bookmaking at race tracks in Maryland is demanded in a resolution adopted unanimously by the Baltimore Presbyterian synod at its annual meeting the other day. The synod is made up of clergymen of that denomination in Maryland and the District of Columbia. The legislative body adopted an effort to law making illegal the publication of betting odds in advance of the races by the newspapers of the state. No legislative action can be had, however, for more than a year, as the Maryland general assembly does not meet until January, 1912.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different families and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cuticura Remedies.

DRINK WATER TO CURE KIDNEYS AND RHEUMATISM The People Do Not Drink Enough Water to Keep Healthy, Says Well-Known Authority. "The numerous cases of kidney and bladder diseases and rheumatism are mainly due to the fact that the drinking of water, nature's greatest medicine, has been neglected. Stop loading your system with medicines and cure-alls; but get on the water wagon. If you are really sick, why, of course, take the proper medicines—plain, common vegetable treatment, which will not shatter the nerves or ruin the stomach." To cure Rheumatism you must make the kidneys do their work; they are the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism; the urine must be neutralized so it will no longer be a source of irritation to the bladder, and, most of all, you must keep these acids from forming in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach trouble and poor digestion. For these conditions you can do no better than take the following prescription: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Sarsaparilla, compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces; shaking well in bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime, but don't forget the water. Drink plenty and often. This valuable information and simple prescription should be posted up in each household and used at the first sign of an attack of rheumatism, backache or urinary trouble, no matter how slight.

Lady Betty, who is 4 years old and never misses a trick, was taken the other evening to a restaurant for her supper, and with all the importance and sprightly dignity of her years calmly ordered poached eggs on toast. While the little family group was awaiting its service the "kiddie" amused herself by looking out of the window, pressing against a screen to get a closer view of something below. She was warned by her mother that the screen might give way and let her fall to the sidewalk, perhaps injuring her. She was asked a minute, and then said naively: "Would I fall if the screen went out?" "You certainly would." was her mother's reply. "And would I get awful hurted?" "Very likely." "Then what would the man do with the eggs?" EXPOSURE BROUGHT IT ON Thousands of Soldiers Contracted Kidney Trouble in the Civil Wrr. John T.

To say nothing of its heavenly climate and its bombs, there is always something stimulating in the occult line going on. Just the other day a widow of the angelic city began to long for a sight of one of her schoolmates whom she had not seen for 45 years. The longing brought its fulfillment. A spirit told her to look for him in Brooklyn. She obeyed, and the teacher a few hours after she arrived, and promptly married him. It is worth while to live in a city where things like this happen, even at the risk of being blown up now and then. Easy Marks.

MORE THAN EVER Increase Labors Since 1992, Oil & Grit Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work to perform, day after day, have found a better capacity and greater endurance by using Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An Illinois woman writes: "I had drank coffee for about twenty years, and finally had what the doctor called 'coffee heart.' I was nervous and extremely despondent; had little mental or physical strength had, had kidney trouble and constipation. "The first noticeable benefit derived from the change from coffee to Postum was the natural action of the kidneys and bowels. In two weeks my heart action was greatly improved and my nerves steady. Then I became less despondent, and the desire to be active again showed the joy of renewed physical and mental strength. "I am steadily gaining in physical strength and brain power. I formerly did mental work and had to give it up in account of coffee, but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than ever before."

"Come on across, Dr. Cramer," answers a second voice; "plenty of time." "Heavens, they're coming around on this side." Cunningham suddenly realized the brilliance of the moonlight. Recognition would be certain. "Here, he whispered in desperation, 'climb in here, quick!' Laying vigorous hold of the girl he swung her up to the open door of the A girl in a hat sits in front of a window, looking out. "Poor Little Girl," He Muttered. empty car, whither he speedily followed. Creeping noiselessly into the shadow, they waited, fearing to breathe. From an engine somewhere in the yard issued loud, leisurely grunts. Presently Dr. Cramer spoke again, this time within a foot of the door of their hiding place. "If you do not mind, Prof. Bowers," he said, "I should like to wait and watch them pick up this car." Cunningham arose to take an investigating peep to see what car was meant when there was a terrific crash, and, lying prone upon his face, he knew. Scrambling up, he groped about in the gloom for the girl. The car had begun to move rapidly by the time he had found her and raised her to her feet. Grasping her arm, he started toward the door when a second collision, harder, it seemed, than the first, brought them groveling to the hard, gritty floor. "Come," he urged, getting to his feet and trying to lift her. "We can get out now." "I'm afraid!" she cried, making no effort to rise. The next moment the car jerked dizzily, and, with loud clanking and rattle, began jolting slowly over the rails. "We must jump!" he shouted above the noise, dragging her to the door. "No!" she screamed, terrified, "I'm afraid!" RELIEF FOR HEARTBURN It should not be treated with indifference, as it is the prelude to graver forms of indigestion. It may be temporarily relieved by small doses of carbonate of potash, soda or soda mints, all of which act as neutralizing agents to the acid condition. But such remedies are not to be recommended in all cases for constant uses; it is far better to pay attention to the diet and avoid all articles which are found to produce the heartburn, while the stomach may be gradually strengthened by taking three times a day just before meals eight grains of bismuth combined with ten grains of ingluin. A well-known physician, Doctor Lewis, has recommended with great success twenty drops of lemon juice, to be taken immediately after each meal in a very little water. He also prescribed the chewing of spruce gum and swallowing all the saliva. Sufferers from heartburn should not TWIN CITY STAR. y Freight WILLIAMS YOUMANS Tearing herself from his grasp, she sank down in the patch of moonlight that shone in through the open doorway and buried her face in her lap. Cunningham's impulse was to drop her to the ground by main force; but when he lay hold upon her shaking shoulders what he actually did was to drop cross-legged beside her and lift her golden, curly head until it rested upon his shoulder, holding it there while the train continued to gain speed and the complaining rattle and clank grew into a furious roar. "Poor little girl" he muttered remorsefully. "What an rwful scrape I've got you into." He knew that she could not hear him in the midst of that hideous din, but as if in mute testimony to his words, she held up two small palms, scratched and bleeding. "Oh, my darling!" In his pain and regret the words slipped out unheeded. Finding a handkerchief, he tore it in strips and awkwardly wound the pieces about her hands. Then, there being no other way to secure the bandages, he laid one palm upon the other and held them so. During this operation it was necessary for Miss Ferris to sit up in the jolting, swaying car unsupported, but when, upon finishing the task, Cunningham again slipped his arm about her shoulders and drew her head to its former position, she made no resistance. A wonderful idea occurred to him. A plasing, beautiful idea. "Syria," she stammered, as rapidly as the batting of his heart would permit. "there's a goodly good way out of this for us if you—I will marry pee." He trembled before his own audacity and rested his burning creek an instant against the cool softness of her hair, forgetting the road that reduced his words to mere, huttering breaths. Sylvia lifted her head; Cunningham saw her lips moving and bent till her lashes swept his face, but still he doubted that he heard aright. "What is that awful smell?" she repeated, finally making herself audible. "Phosphate!" he shouted in answer, relieving his discomfiture by strength of lung. "It's fertilizer!" The train stopped sooner than he had expected, but at a lonely water tank without visible light or habitat. "No escape here," he reported, looking down the pebbly slope of an bankment which fell away from the door of their prison full thirty feet. "Oh, dear, that horrible odor," sighed the girl. Cunningham struck a match. The car was empty but for themselves and the smell of the fertilizer which enveloped the flame a loathsome, sufoceting blanket. "How can we ever explain?" she lamented. Cunningham saw his opening and rushed in. "There's only one thing to do," he remarked in an elaborately matter-of-fact tone, "and that is to get married." "What?" Sylvia's voice rose to a high note of astonishment. "Is it so distasteful to you?" he asked, affecting a coolness he did not feel. Then, resealing himself and taking the bandaged hands: "I have been trying for two years to muster the courage to propose to you. You must have seen how hard he i了 an. "You never said anything." "I'm saying it now; and—you—care a little, don't you, Sylvia? It's the best way." Sylvia neither answered nor shrank from his embrace. "I have no idea where this train is taking us," he continued, "let it shall come to a town before long, that's certain. Ministers and licenses are easily found. You have no parents to consult, nor have I, and neither of us are a minor. After were married we will come back and tell Prexy all about it. He'll stand for it. I think, he is a fine fellow," he finished stoutly. Sylvia began to cry, silently at first then a little harder. "We shall lose our diplomas, I just know," she sobbed, snuggling her cheek against his vest pocket in a rather comfortable manner, nevertheless. "What is a piece of old sheepskin, anyway," he challenged, "compared with our having each other?" "I don't know, Mr. Cunningham," very tremulously. "Call me 'Tom,' dear." "Tom," more tremulously still—then, with a bavious giggle, "dear."

One of the finest exam-15 of "pawky" humor is placed to the credit of an old gardener who was in the service of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alexander Milne, who was in his time a member of the writer's congrega- tion. The gardener having omitted to do something which he had been told to do, his master said to him: "When I was on board ship I would have had you put in irons for disob- dence." The old gardener was not much perpetred at the idea, but, leaning on his spade, replied: "Aye, maybe, Sir Alexander; but when ye were on board ship ye had a hunder man tae doe job, an'no ye hae hae man tae dae a bunder lobe." --- Have You Tried?

There is in congress a western representative of Celtic origin who has more than once "stirred up the animals" by his propensity to bait the opposition. On one occasion he rose to denounce the statements made in a speech that had been delivered by a member of the other party. His impotency led him to phrase his remarks rather strongly. "Order, order!" exclaimed the speaker, pounding with his gavel. Again, in a minute or two, did the son of Erin return to his charge of wilful misstatement. Again was he called to "order." It was a critical moment. His colleagues, for motives of policy, did not wish him to be put out of the debate, so they hinted so by tugging vigorously at his coat tails. Now, it's a very dangerous matter to trifle with the tails of an Irishman's coat, save in the cause of friendship. Nevertheless, the indignant yet good-natured member recognized the command of his party and sat down after deriding the Parishal darth: "I obey the ruling of the House, and I bag to retract what I was about to observe!" That one touch of Irish oratory took the whole House by storm.—Lippin-cott's. Ple. "You Americans," said the London man, "are very fond of what you call ple. But properly speaking a ple should have meat in it." CLE Man in Chair—Yes, if it'll restore the hairs you just rubbed off. No Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or Dyspepsia Five Minutes After Taking a Little Diappesin. There should not be a case of indigestion, dyspepsia or gastritis here if readers who are subject to Stomach trouble knew the tremendous anti-fertil and digestive virtue contained in Diappesin. This harmless preparation will digest a heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and relieve the sourst, acid stomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all foul, nauseous odors from the breath. If your stomach is sour and full of gas, or your food doesn't digest, and your meal don't seem to fit, why not get a 50-cent case of Pape's Diappesin from any drugstreet in town, and make life worth living. Absolute relief from Stomach misery and perfect digestion of anything you eat is sure to follow five minutes after, and besides, one fifty-cent case is sufficient to cure a whole family of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, inexpensive preparation like Pape's Diappepsin, which will always either at daytime or during night, relieve your sick, sour, gassy, upset stomach and digest your meals, is about as handy and valuable a thing as you could have in the house. Back to the Wild. There was a time when all dogs were wild and when what we call wolves were different from other dogs only as a collie now is different from a Newfoundland, for instance. From time to time you will hear of dogs that have returned to the life of their ancestors and have run wild with the wolves of the prairie or of the woods. In the town of Sandy in Oregon a greyhound one night made the acquaintance of a coyote, which is a kind of wolf, and ever since he has lived away from the town, running with the coyotes and approaching human dwellings-places only to steal a hen or two when he has been more than usually hungry.

New Negro Political Movement 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: 3. The passage of a national anti- Jim Grow 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. Why We are Thankful. Thanksgiving Day is set apart for services of Thanks to the Divine Creator for his blessings to humanity. As a race the Negro should be especially thankful. His condition has never before been better, his opportunities greater, or his prospects brighter. As individuals, we are entering the various avenues of life a fair competitor and a worthy foeman, fighting inch by inch for business consideration, and commercial equality. Providence has protected us and industry and intellect will advance us. "Give Thanks unto the Lord, for he is good." Presidential Appointments. We are glad to know that Pres. Taft has at last decided to give our race such high-class representation. We have no criticism of the appointees knowing that these representatives give credit to our race, and while it is gratifying to know that we are "fed on soft corn" the Negro will not prove ungrateful, But will never again "lick the hand that smites him." Men and women of originality are most needed in the world today. It is not enough for you and me to know things were done a hundred years ago. We must be alert to devise or discover new methods by which these same things may be accomplished today more quickly and easily, wah less expense. This applies to our own rehabilitation when we tumble out of our wonted spheres. The best advertisement is the one that gets the most business, of course. When you strive for success you must advertise well, for success comes to you only in proportion to your service to others. Your habits of thought, word, and deed are your advertisements. See that they are truly representative of what you have to give and the results will be all you could desire. —The Reflector, Jeffersonville, Ind. SEGREGATION OF VICE. The authorities are in a dilemma over the conditions caused by the evacuation of the Red Light district, last April, and are about to choose the lesser of the two necessary evils. The "birds of passage" have flown to the various parts of the city and have been found nestling comfortably in our respectable suburbs. Heretofore there was a district which was known to be inhabited by this class. But radical reformers and mission workers inaugurated a crusade and scattered this vice to all parts among all people. Now that they have realized that "segregation of vice is necessary", and that it is better to let "birds of a feather flock together, for the good of the community. They have come to the conclusion that vice can be suppressed but not eliminated. They claim that Minnesota is the greatest Republican State in the country. "She still adheres to the Jacksonian policy. " Billy Williams and Geo. Hoage will stay in the Governor's office for their "efficient service rendered" and as our "best race representatives". Yet in anywhere—think that they can in anywhere—think that they can't get them out. They have hard thoughts. There are softer. We are expecting that Political Plum, ("the Deputy State Grain Weigher's Position," made vacant, by the death of late Harvey Burke) to drop soon. They are shaking the tree now that the election is over. "Booker T. Washington's influence." Any man who votes for Joe Thompson for governor of Alabama indirectly votes to perpetuate the political powers of Booker Washington in the South's political affairs, says J. C. Manning, Progressive Republican of Alabama. The Johnson-Jeffries pictures are to be shown at the "Miles" next week and Haynes still mayor. "THE NEGRO VOTE." Now that the campaign is over we shall doubtless hear more of the part our race had played in it. "The Independent Political League," a real American organization, which held a convention at Atlantic City this summer, put in more or less work among the negroes of various northern states to help defeat candidates known as Roosevelt men. Incidentally it indorsed Dix in New York, Harmon in Ohio, and Wilson in New Jersey, and declared war particularly on Lodge in Massachusetts. Whether the "League" represents any considerable number of Negro votes is not definitely ascertained as yet, but when similar organizations have heretofore attempted to speak for a race, the election returns have usually failed to sustain them—unless they have adopted "solid loyalty" to the Republican party. Things however, have changed in this remarkable year. It would not be a bad thing for the Negro race. The Leagues particular reason for being "Independent" is a very strong one, and there are reasons enough why no American Negro should feel bound to any one party because of his race and there are special reasons why Negroes everywhere should learn that they are free to vote Democratic, Socialistic or otherwise, according to their interests and convictions. Will J. Hyatt. Progressive Republicans In Ala- hama Booker T. Washingtons leading doctrine has been that the Southern Negro should cultivate industry more and politics less. Is this the doctrine which progressive republicans of Alabama objected? Unjust discrimination. A Boston judge fined a bartender $100, for refusing to serve a colored woman, who was in company of a white couple in a cafe. He held that it was a case of unjust discrimination. Wentworth of Boston and Fineout of St. Paul will fine anybody anywhere anytime, if you're in wrong. That's House rules and tariff beat the Republicans—and Cannon led them to defeat. But he says "he will tell how it happened, when he finds out the facts." Teddy won't talk. The New Negro Political Movement is our Declaration of Independence.

Movement Started For the Purpose of Ereeting Dunbar Hospital. The movement recently started in St. Louis, Mo., having for its object the erection of a hospital which will insure better accommodations for our people, is meeting with success. The circuit court has been petitioned for papers incorporating the Dunbar hospital, which is to be the name of the proposed institution. It is the desire of the projectors of the movement to raise sufficient funds within the next three months to pay for the site and commence the erection of the building. Such an institution will fill a long felt need among our people in St. Louis, and it should not be a difficult matter to secure the necessary money with which to purchase the ground and erect the buildings. The present officers of the movement are: Louis C. Edmondson, president; Bertha B. Cooper, secretary, and Flem McCulah, treasurer; J. S. Dorssey, Henry Stemmets, A. B. Freeman, W. C. Calland, J. A. Thompson, Louis E. Edmondson, Mary Foster, Anna Stevens, Emma Freeman, Nancy J. Layton, Emma C. Johnson, Maude Thompson, Kate Cozzens and Bertha B. Cooper. Will Stand by Republican Party.

Uncle Sam—Does the Rest. TWIN CITY STAR Defeats Republican Candidate for Leg- lature in North Dakota lature in North Dakota. Grand Fork, N. D. Nov. 27.-North dakota's legislature will have a socialist member in Wesley Fasset, elected from Rolette county over the regular Republican nominee, John E. Brown. Complete returns show material gains for the Democrats in the legislature. There will be eighteen Demo- cracies, two of which will be senate and the remaining thirteen in the house. LaMoure and Stark counties sprung the big surprises in the legislative race the fact that LaMoure elected a Democratic senator and a Democratic house member, and that Stark county sent three Democrats to the house being decidedly out of the ordinary. Already there are prospects of contests. In the senate there is a likelihood of difficulty from the Third district, here M. Rusicka was elected to succeed J. J. Irwin. Both are Democrats. Irwin was elected two years ago for the four-year term, but the past few months has not been in his district, making his home elsewhere. Taking advantage of this absence the voters of the district elected another senator. The progressives will have little difficulty in controlling the organization of the house and with U. L. Burdick as lieutenant governor, will get what they want in the upper branch. Candidates for speaker of the house so far mentioned are General E. A. Williams of Bismarck, George Ployhar of Valley City, and W. J. Price of Cass county. Negro Acquitted by a Jury at Fargo, N. D. Fargo, N. D., Nov. 17.—In the shortest murder trial ever held in North Dakota, Charles King, colored, was acquitted in district court. King was accused of the murder of James Hutchinson in a lower Front street restaurant last September. The men, so the witnesses testified, were engaged in a game of "blackjack," in which the two became involved in a dispute over the payment of $1.50. Shortly after the trouble the two men both drew revolvers, King shooting Hutchinson, killing him almost instantly. King then made his escape to Minnesota, where he was located some time later by Detective Martinson of the Minneapolis force. He was returned to this city, where he was put on trial. Typhoid Traced to Milk. Ashton, S. D., Nov. 17—Sixteen cases of typhoid fever are reported here. Investigations have led to the discovery that cows which furnish the milk supply to the town have been drinking from a creek into which the sewer system empties. This has been stopped. It is also stated that the loss supply last summer was tainted. Tramp Caused Costly Fire. Auburden, S. D., Nov. 17.—Cooper Rymann, a tramp, aged twenty-one, is under arrest charged with starting the fire which destroyed $75,000 worth of property at Mansfield. Rymann acknowledged starting the fire, but says it was accidental. He declares he fell asleep while smoking and awoke to find the building in flames. Women Elected to Office. Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 17—Eleven out of nineteen new county superintendents of schools elected in the recent election are women, making a total gain of four women superintendents in the state. PRESS ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN MUSKOGEE. Western Editors Will Hold Fourteenth Annual Convention Nov. 25. The fourteenth annual convention of the Western Negro association will be held in Muskogee, Okla., for two days, beginning on Friday, Nov. 25. The meeting will bring together many of the leading men of the west who have gained distinction in their respective callings. In the call for the convention sent out by President John L. Thompson, Secretary D. Bowyer and the executive committee public attention is directed to the following topics for consideration: "Realizing that the pen is the most potent power when it is rightly used for the betterment of civilization and the ultimate solution of all social, industrial, economic and political problems of this century, therefore we call upon the editors, correspondents, publishers, journalists and co-workers, book and magazine writers and men and women engaged in the industrial arts allied to newspaper work to meet with us." Addresses, papers and essays will be read on topics pertaining to the real needs of the race in the large cities and in the rural districts. Ten minutes will be given to each speaker in opening discussions. Corresponding Secretary H. R. Graham predicts large gathering. The Nature of Disfranchisements. Disfranchisements are racial, not partisan, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. If partisan in the best sense they would not stand any more show at Washington than a Jaybird. They would be shot to pieces. Gentlemen, they are racial-white men versus black men. Thousands Attended the Great International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association In Toronto From the United States and From Foreign Countries. By N. BARNETT DODSON. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. The thirty-seventh international convention of the Young Men's Christian association of America recently held in Toronto, Canada, was attended by upward of 1,500 delegates. The work among Afro-Americans was represented by nineteen delegates against one thirty-five years ago, when the convention was held in Rochester, N. Y. Toronto is a charming city of homes, with a population of 35,000. It is the Mecca for tourists and is noted for its well regulated schools and churches, there being 206 of the latter. It is the great commercial center of Canada. The convention was held in the Massey hall, which has a seating capacity of 5,000. The convention was made welcome to the city by the mayor, and responses were made by foreign delegates. The report of the international committee was made by the president, Dr. L. C. Warner of New York. The progress of the work for the past ten years was interestingly told by Vice President A. E. Morling. Among the principal objects of the convention were to "sound a clear and helpful note concerning the distinctive features of the North American association movement, to discuss some of the present day problems in association work, to emphasize the type of spiritual life and Bible study for which the association movement should stand, to recognize Canadian national spirit in the development of a united international work and to take a forward look." The conservation of life in the rural districts was ably discussed by Dr. J. W. Robertson and the timeliness of the association to meet the needs of Canada by J. A. McDonald, LL D. Themes for open discussion were leadership, larger modern buildings, civic and industrial opportunities, growth of brotherhood and kindred organizations and the safeguarding of the boys of a continent. What was conceded by all present to have been the most timely and well phrased and most forcible addresses delivered by any speaker at the convention was that of the Rev. Dr. Charles T. Walker or Augusta, Ga. The leading papers of Toronto spoke of Dr. Walker and his able address as follows: "In an address illuminated with frequent flashes of humor and racy comment Dr. C. T. Walker, a colored delegate, discussed very forcibly 'Our Obligation to the Colored Man.' He came, began, as the representative of 10,000,000 American Negroes who in forty years had reduced their illiteracy by 50 per cent, had put $40,000,000 into church property and $30,000,000 into institutions for educational and intellectual advancement. Practical Christianity was progressive and aggressive, and the Y. M. C. A.'s responsibility in regard to the colored people grew out of the fact that all were members of the human family. The doctrine of blood was not evolved, but revealed. Moreover, the Y. M. C. A. had a duty to the colored man because he was an American citizen despite the constitutional amendments. "When the country called for service the Negroes had forgotten the injustices and indignities heaped upon them. The Negroes were essentially a religious people, not given to skepticism, atheism, agnosticism nor trouble with higher criticism. The Negroes were in a state of adjustment, but they had determined to stay in America and help to build a big nation. They were confident of winning the Christ spirit of loving instead of hating. "The Negroes had forty-four city associations, ninety-three student associations, with an enrollment of 12,000 members. There were 2,000,000 Negroes in the cities which were the storm centers. They represented one-ninth of the population, and yet they only had thirty-five secretaries, while the white people had 3,000 secretaries. The mission of the association was worldwide, but it could not hope to have the greatest success abroad unless it helped the colored man at home. This obligation could best be discharged by the appointment of more men, by larger contributions for the extension of the work and by co-operation with the black people." Bright Outlook For Virginia Seminary. Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, Va., starts off with a large enrollment of students and a well balanced faculty this term. We are glad to know that this deserving race institution of learning is keeping pace with the demands of the times. President Driggs is the right man in the right place. When all the new improvements at the school are completed it will be one of the best institutions of learning for our people in the south.
