Calvin Chase had accepted the invitation to introduce Mr. Johnson. We would request him to discuss the subject that had been assigned to Mr. Johnson, the Signs of the Times. After prayer by Rev. L.

SEASON OF 1910 To my friends and the public in general: It is with pleasure that I take this opportunity to inform you that the books of the Independent Steamboat and Barge Company are now open for charters for Excursions during the coming season, and it will be to your interest to call at once and secure the most desirable dates. Our terms are most liberal and charters can be made for Washington Park and Somerset Beach To which places we have the exclusive excursion rights as well as Mathias Point, Rock Point, Norfolk, White City, Richmond, Baltimore and all points on the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. Our facilities for chartering parties are unsurpassed in every respect. Our large covered wharf (used exclusively for our excursion business) enables us to give you most modern and up-to-date service. No crowding, no exposure and our schedule between Washington and Washington Park does away with the long and tiresome waiting for the steamers. Before the construction of Washington Park absolutely no place of recreation was afforded the people of our race, and I proudly point to the fact that I have fulfilled the demands of the people in every respect. You have one of the best and most modernly improved resorts in this part of the country. Washington Park with its myriads of electric lights, mammoth scenic railway, huge carroussel, dance hall and numerous smaller amusement devices is surpassed in point of natural beauty and modern equipment by no resort south of New York. By perseverance and an enormous cash outlay I have done this, and now I ask you to show me that I have your hearty support by calling at once and making charters for the coming season. Yours for pleasure and comfort, Lewis Jefferson. 1901 First Street, S. W. NEGRO LEADERSHIP Hon. J. Douglas Wetmore, of New York, well known in the social circle of this city, and among the politicians, is to address Bethel Literary at Lincoln Temple on next Tuesday evening, the 18th. His subject is "The peculiarities of Negro Leadership," which is expected to arouse all the sleeping days of debate. Mr. Wetmore has quite a reputation for eloquence and repartee, but will probably find himself in deep water if he attacks the acknowledged leaders of the race. The four-hundred and the politicians will attend in a body, the latter with side arms. MEN'S CLUB OF ST. LUKE'S P. E. CHURCH The following named officers to serve the ensuing year were chosen at the regular annual meeting of the Men's Club, of St. Luke's parish held in the parish hall last Monday evening: John T.

Rice, C. J. Pickett, C. T. Brent, Lewis Thompson and N. G. Robinson. How many of the last campaigners will be appointed by Mr. Taft. If Dorothy Dare knows what she is up against. If Bro. Waring is not an able writer and a sensible individual. Why doesn't Marshall Palmer appointed another colored American a United States Marshal. Why some men will practice nepotism in office. Why a few representative colored men don't go to the White House. THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE Prof. John T. Layton at the head of the great Musical Exposition in 1913. Dr. Booker T.

Toomey, Attorney L. M. King and others. After the exercises an audience of 100 people attended Virginia friends al Martin's 'cafe.' The affair was under the direction of Attorney James H. W. Martin, who was a brilliant one. About so invited guests were seated at the table. The Bee leads and all other papers follow. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS The Statue of Gen.

Shame on the great American people. A report of the work of the Salvation Army in this city during the last year, shows that the organization has obtained employment for 208 persons, has given away 56,690 meals and supplied 19,048 persons with lodgings, and $2,388.73 were spent in the maintenance of the home. Prof. Cleveland Abbe, of the Weather Bureau, has been directed to go to Mount Weather, Va., where he will become editor of the Mount Weather Bulletin and Official Journal. Prof. Abbe is seventy-five years of age and is said to be an authority, on many matters meteorological. IS IT NOT FOOLISH TO THINK That fools will succeed Vermon, Dancy and Tyler. That the enemies of Judge Terrell had any show of being appointed to succeed him. That Dr. Washington will recommend an idiot as one of the fair commissioners. That several dozens of colored Americans will be appointed to big jobs. That colored Americans will not be needed in the next campaign. That the Lily White Colored American Social Club can exist in this city. That Armond W. Scott is without nerve. That L. M. King is not an able civil lawyer. That John W. Patterson doesn't earn ten thousand a year. Dr. Booker T. Washington is not a wise individual. * * * How colored school teachers can earn extra pay.

Love of Sea and Adventure an Inherited Trait—Ambitious to Find Pole Ever Since He Was Young Naval Officer. Johnstown, Pa.—The movement from Malne to Cambria county, in the fifties, which brought to this district the prominent Barker and other families, also made it possible for Cresson, nearly the highest point in the county, to claim the honor of having been the birthplace of Lieut. Robert Edmund Peary, most daring and most persistent Arctic explorer of modern times and claimant for the title of Discoverer of the Pole. The father of Peary was not bothered about polar discovery. The building of "shook shops" and the manufacture and shipment of shook and staves to many distant points was his life work. Malne afforded ample opportunity for the lumber industry with its vast timber acreage, but for some reason the elder Peary thought Cambria county, Pa., also a virgin wooded land, better suited for his purpose, so he located at a point now generally admitted to be on the outskirts of Cresson. Peary's naval career sheds an interesting light on the question of inherited traits and predilections. The elder Peary, an Englishman, transplanted to Maine, came from forbears who loved the sea. For some reason he did not share this fondness for the bounding wave and deliberately left the shore line for a life far in the interior, away from even inland lakes. But after his father's death Robert E. Peary, then a little boy, was taken back to Maine by his mother, and as a result of his life on the coast and his education the youngster instinctively went back to the life of his ancestors.

Peary's Birthplace and to Include Part of the Old Home. land ports, the coming and going of clipper ships, laden with Maine lumber and many other products, by suggestion and appeal aroused in the youth love of the sea and its adventures. Leut. Peary's distinct ambition to discover the pole is known to have been born in him as a result of the Greeley expedition and its relief. He was then a young officer in the navy, as were a number of those prominent in the work of exploration at that time, and hence the glory which now shines upon the water arm of Uncle Sam's military service by reflection. It is strange how soon we are forgotten. People who knew Lieut. Peary's father are not now certain of his Christian name. Charles H. Peary of Chest Springs, a cousin of the explorer and who spells his name Perry, calls the lieutenant's father Charles Peary. Ex-Judge A. V. Barker of Ebensburg is certain his name was George. It has been suggested that perhaps his name was George Charles Peary. However that may be, Mr. and Mrs. Peary on coming into this county located in the woods near what is now Cresson, where Peary established a shook shop. A house standing on the turn of the road from Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards from the town, is now generally accepted by the people of the county as occupying part of the site of the original Peary home, and is said to actually include a fragment of the old building. It was in that house that Robert E. Peary was born, and there, two or three years later, his father died. Frank O'Hara, an old farmer living in Munster township, recalls Peary's birth clearly and tells a story of the elder Peary sending a messenger in a conveyance to a point some distance away, to fetch a physician. "Kill the horse if you have to," Mr. Peary is alleged to have said to the driver, "but get the doctor here in a hurry." And it's another reminiscence of O'Hara that the elder Peary, who died at Gallitzin, was buried amid a blizzard, "That was like the north pole itself," says the aged Munster man. Peary was buried at Cape Elizabeth Me. The only basis for the claim that Peary was born at Chest Springs is the residence there of his cousin, Charles H. Peary's father, James Peary, came from Maine about the same time as George Peary did, but instead of locating at Cresson, settled at Chest Springs and there his children have resided ever since. George Peary, fortunately, left enough of an estate to make it possible for Mrs. Peary to educate her son thoroughly and he finally found his way to the Naval academy. SECOND HAND BICYCLES.

Italian Civil Engineer Invents the "Psophograph" to Foll Ballot Box Stuffers. Rome.—European ballot box stuffers, who are as expert as any of Boss Tweed's henchmen ever were in the palmest days of corruption in New York politics, soon will find their occupation gone. An Italian civil engineer, Signor Gogiano, has invented a voting machine which, it is claimed, is absolutely ungetatable" and incorruptible. He calls this invention the psophograph. So complete and satir- VOTAMIS CONTRAMIS INDEX VOTAMIS factory has this machine proved that it had been adopted by both the Italian and the French governments. The psephograph is a little over a yard in height and is provided with as many openings as there are candidates in the field. The voter presents his card to an official who has charge of the voting booth and receives a small metal chip about the size of an American dime. He is then given permission to enter the booth and steps behind two screens which render him invisible to both the public and the overseers alike. There he finds the voting machine facing him. After carefully scanning the different slots, above which is a space containing the names of the candidates, he selects the one he wishes to vote for and drops his chip in the slot corresponding to it. The fall of the chip causes an interior lever to rise, this movement making the number of persons voting appear on a "tittle tablet on the outside, which is always visible, and in the interior registering the vote for the chosen candidate. When the voting is over the officer in charge lifts aside the metal covering on which is registered the number of persons voting and the number of votes obtained by each candidate is revealed. By this system $7,000 votes were cast in two hours at a recent election at Turin. Miss Mabel Boardman Honored by Italy for Alding Victims of the Earthquake. Boston.—The Marquis de Montagliari, Italian charge d'affairs at Washington, has remitted to Miss Mabel Boardman of Manchester, Mass., and Washington, a golden crown, the gift of the Italian government in recognition of her services as a member of A. Miss Boardman. the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earthquake. The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is composed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typical Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved: "To Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross, from the Italian Government, as a Token of Gratitude, 1908-1909." Miss Boardman, as the executive head of the Red Cross society, recently announced her intention to devote her life entirely to its interests. She is the sister-in-law of Senator Crane and was a member of the famous Taft Philippine party. While visiting Japan she saw the evidence of the work of the Red Cross in the Russo-Japanese war and was impressed with the boundless possibilities of the movement. She is an intimate friend of both President and Mrs. Taft. She Won't Waste the Rope. Give a woman plenty of rope and she will hang—her washing on it. ?

It does not declare that it has come to fill a long-felt want or to flood out whiskey sellers and sporting houses. The Bee will leave this work to hypocritical reformers. The mission of The Bee is to expose such hypocrites and allow man to reform himself if he needs reformation. Dozens of papers have come and gone. The Bee is what the people want. The Washington people are becoming to know the hypocrites and blacklegs. They have been playing the fool long enough. Their eyes are opened. The mission of The Bee is to build up and point out to the people the vampires they have among them. For over thirty years the people, regardless of color or condition, have supported this paper. They have supported it because they know that The Bee is not hypocritical. The hypocritical journalist is opposed to whiskey and the saloons. They come to fill a long-felt want and before they filled that want fate calls for their checks and they pass on to the journalistic graveyard. The mission of The Bee is not to injure any man or woman. The Bee will not kowingly injure anyone. Its mission is to protect the innocent and expose the guilty. The Bee means the guilty oppressor. It, will continue to hold up the hands of those who are honest and are doing what is right. The sentiment that Dr. Booker T. Washington expressed a few weeks ago when he addressed the local Negro Business League should not soon be forgotten. He said among other things, "Let us speak well of a man one week and see if we can't make a good man out of a bad one." The Bee speaks well of those who deserve to be commended. Its columns are always open to everybody, from a street cleaner to the President of the United States. The Bee requests people to send in reports of their doings to its colmuns. They are opened to disseminate the news. Anonymous writers have no standing with The Bee. A person who is too cowardly to sign his name to his article is unworthy of belief. Rejected manuscripts are not returned,and please bear this in mind. The management will endeavor to make The Bee an up-to-date paper... There will be some remarkable improvements made in a few weeks, which no doubt will meet the approval of the people. The Bee has always lead, and it will continue to lead. Send in your name and have the paper sent to your address, because the mission of The Bee is to do right and treat the people fair and just; and to its thousands of patrons The Bee extends thanks and gratitude to those who have stood by and supported it. SHAMS. In our last week's issue we briefly spoke of shams. This city is the social and political field for shams. They may be found in every avenue, household and by ways. In a certain section of the city there is a colony of shams.. They represent every State in the Union. They make every effort to convince the world that they are the real beings. Shams can get a reputation in this city quicker than any other class of individuals. The people seem to take to them. They seem to appreciate fake organizations and fake people better than they do legitimate enterprises and real people. It is amusing to see shams attempting to organize the social element. Shams will endeavor to imitate those who have millions to give away, while they, the shams, are barely living. It would seem to The Bee that these social shasms would have enough of their false pretenses. It seems that past events have no effect on those who will continue to play in the circus. Some colored people are continually chasing shadows. They will leave the substantial at any time to chase a shadow. Society has been the death of many well-to-do colored American in this city. The history of the famous Lotus Club ought to be a lesson to the present day sham. The Freedmen's Bank ring ought to be an object lesson. Where are those shams who lived in the day of that regime? One or two died in the insane asylum, others fell from grace on account of debauchery. The real people in this city have property. They have something to show. Take a sham and ask him what he owns and see if he can show you anything substantial. The real people of this city seldom show themselves. But, O, Lord! what can we say of the shams. A sham is easily known or recognized by his department. The real and substantial citizen is known by his social and property standing. The real people are not pushing themselves before the public always. The sham must be seen and heard. He will make himself known by his own sham acts. AN OBJECT LESSON The colored citizens of this city have no cause to complain of being discriminated against or going where they are not wanted. The Bee does see, however, hundreds of colored citizens patronizing many of these "Jim Crow" five cent theatres. Why don't the churches speak out against it? There is in this city two of the best moving picture theatres that can be found anywhere in this country. They are up-to-date and there is no theatre of a similar character to be found in this city to equal the two The Bee has in mind. The Bee makes a specialty of these two public amusement places, because what they show are instructive. The Bee makes special mention of these two theatres, the Hiawa-tha and the Mucea. They are indeed two very up-to-date theatres. The Bee must admit that the two comedians at the Hiawatha are refined and up-to-date, and original. It will not be very long before the colored citizens will have a large up-to-date theatre. All that the enterprising colored man wants is to be let alone. He is paving his own streets. He knows just what his people want and they are satisfied. Why will the citizens of this city continue to be "Jim Crowed"? Why do these continue to support these "Jim Crow, five cent theatres on Seventh street that makes them go in and out different doors. When they have their own up-to-date thea- ters? So it is with their own drug stores. There are enough colored people in this city to support them all. The Bee doesn't mean to advise the colored people not to purchase from white people. But it does mean to suggest to support only those white people, in business who don't discriminate against them. There are some good white people in this city as well as some bad ones, and it is the duty of the colored people to support all classes of people and business enterprises that don't discriminate against them. Again The Bee extends its congratulations to the managers of the Hiawatha and the Musea. WHY VERNON IS POPULAR ; Register W. T. Vernon is, beyond all doubt one of the most popular men in this country. Whenever he goes and whenever he is booked to speak, he draws a large crowd and he never fails to electrify his audiences. At the dinner last Saturday evening, given by the Grand Unite Order of Odd Fellows, Attorney W. L. Pollard, acted as toastmaster. Among some of the eminent speakers present were Grand Master W. L. Houston, Attorney Morris of Chicago, Ill., who are two of the most able speakers in the United States, but when Register Vernon was introduced by the toastmaster the large assembly gave him one of the greatest ovations that has ever been given to a speaker and when he concluded his address the applause was deafening and lasted five minutes. Dr. Vernon's address was as beautiful as and as sweet as the song of the Sirene. In this city as well as elsewhere in the United States no man is more bound by the people than Dr. Vernon. BUSINESS LEAGUE HERALD Messrs. Pittman, Editor Collins, publisher of The Negro Business League Herald deserve credit for their publication last month. The cut of our distinguished townsman, Attorney Waring is a gem. The same appears in The Bee this week. The Herald is ably edited and the publishers deserve credit for the fine appearance of their publica publication. TAKE IT NOW Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen an announcement of the coming excursion season and the time to secure dates. The colored people who patronized their enemies last year will be given an opportunity to redeem themselves this year. Just read what Mr. Lewis Jefferson offers this year. Go at once and secure dates. There are thousands of dollars wasted daily by so-called moralists and alleged Christians. The Bee has heard men and women make appeals to the Christian churches for all kinds of enterprises. The Bee has seen our women insulted, criticised and condemned while men stood by and failed to protect them. There has been erected, not very far from the city, a few steps near Lincoln, D. C., a school for the education of our women. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, a young woman is at the head of this institution. She is a remarkable woman and one of the greatest and foremost women in the colored race. She makes an appeal to humanity for funds to assist her institution. There are ninety thousand colored Americans in this city who owe a debt of gratitude to Miss Burroughs. She wants to save our women. She can do so by receiving help from those who believe in the highest development of Christian womanhood." Hundreds of our women fall from grace yearly because conditions forced them to do that which is hard to overcome by virtue of their poverty. The white people are doing all in their power to uphold the virtue and integrity of thir women. Why should the colored people be found wanting? If you want to help a worthy enterprise send to Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Lincoln Heights, D. C., a small contribution not less than a dollar. Mr. Charles E. Hall and a coterie of his friends were surprised and honored at a dinner party on last Friday evening at the Hall residence, 617 U street, Mrs. Lena R. Hall being the hostess. The occasion for the dinner was the prospective departure from the city of Mr. and Mrs. Hall, and the closing of the Hall home for the winter. Mr. Hall has been designated by Census Director Durand for special field work covering a period of several months and Mrs. Hall will shortly leave for an extended trip to Lower California. Another reason for the dinner was the timely arrival of two fat o'possums from the Illinois homestead of Mrs. Hall. Messrs.(?) O'possum were given the star place in the tencourse menu so daintly prepared and tastefully served by Mrs. Hall. The elaborate dinner service and artistically decorated room lent added pleasure to the enjoyment of the diners. Each guest was provided with a card, symbolizing one of the months. On a detachable portion of each card, which was lettered, the diner wrote his year resolutions. These in turn read at the conclusion of a toast and were then so arranged on the numerals of a novel clock dial (which served as a centerpiece for the table) as to spell the word "resolutions," leaving the XII space for the passing of the old and the coming of the New Year. Mrs. Hall was unanimously voted the premier dinner hostess of the District. Besides Mr. Hall, the guests were: Dr. John Hurst, Register W. T. Vernon, Grand Master W. L. Houston, Inventor A. P. Albert, Attorneys John H. Paynter and Robert L. Waring, Architect W. Sidney Pittman, Maj. Chas W. Filmore, Prof. Kelly Miller Dr. John Hurst, Register W. T. Vernon, Grand Master 'W. L. Houston, Inventor A. P. Albert, Attorneys John H. Paynter and Robert L. Waring, Architect W. Sidney Pittman, Maj. Chas W. Filmore, Prof. Kelly Miller and Messrs. Walter C. Crouse and Henry P. Slaughter. Mr. Paynter acted as master of ceremonies. At the regular meeting of Prince Hall Chapter No. 12, O. H. S., held Monday, January 3rd the following officers were installed for the year 1910: Royal Matron—Jennie Webster. Royal Patron—Chas. L. Harris (5th term.) Asso. Matron—Maggie L. Jones. Treasurer — Oceana Brooks, F. G. M. Secretary—Katie Wood Harris, P. M. Conductress—Celia Smith. Asso. Cond.—Daisy Watson. Horald—Marion T. Payne. Truth—Gertrude Tibbs. Faith—Aurelia Rose. Wisdom—Laura Davis. Warder—Helen Thomas. Sentinel—John Hutchinson. Organist—Louise Prater. Marshal—Louise Walker. A handsome bouquet of flowers was presented the Royal Matron at the conclusion of her Inaugural boudress. The retiring Matron, Miss Florence Dickerson, was presented with a Past Matron's Jewel by Past Grand Matron Brooks on behalf of the chapter, and a beautiful bouquet of flowers by Royal Matron Webster. If you send 60 cents, we will send the Wonder Comb, a trial jar of Wonder-Uncurl, and two samples of Complexión Wonder. The latter will make your skin lighter colored everytime it is used, and will make you (man or woman) look better than ever in your life before. Berger & Co., 2 Rector Street, New York City, N. Y.

Apply on premises to Martin Dodge or 418 Evens Building, 1420 New York avenue, n. w. One of the curiosities in natural history in the colony of Queensland is the provision by nature of a supply of water in the roots of certain trees On these roots the aborigines formerly depended for their water for several months of the year. There are several kinds of trees in Queensland from which water can be obtained, including three species of eucalyptus, and the kurrajong. The eucalypt consists of a gum, which is the largest of the back country trees a box and mallee. The first named the most preferred, as yielding the greatest quantity. This tree resembles the red gum in appearance, the leaves being a little narrower and a silvery color. It grows chiefly or sandy or light loamy soil and throw out numerous lateral roots at a depth of about nine inches from the surface of the ground. The position of these roots was ascertained by the blacks by repeatedly jabbing the points of a spear or sharpened stifle in the soft earth at a distance of about six or eight feet from the trunk of the tree. The soil was then removed with a wooden shovel for some 20 feet or more and the root cut off either end. This was then cut up into lengths of about 18 inches, the bark knocked off and the lengths stooon end in some receptacle to contain water. In many cases the blacks use a bag made of the entire skin of the male wallaby. As soon as all these pieces were placed on end the operator, beginning with the first placed put the end in his mouth, and by a vigorous puff expelled the remaining water. The size of the roots chosen was, with the bark on, about the thickness of a man's wrist. The larger ones being more woody and less porous, contain little or no water. The water is beautifully clear, cool, and free from any unpleasant taste or smell. PLEASANT FOR THE TRAVELER Russian Method of Safeguarding Czar Necessarily Led to Some Apprehension. The late William E. Ingersoll, the noted life insurance manager, was an authority on insurance rates. "Mr. Ingersoll knew the rates all over the world," said a New York manager, recently. "The Russian rates are very high. Mr. Ingersoll once explained to me, with a story, why this was. "A traveler in Russia, he said, noticed that the train was all decorated with flags and banners, and at every station a company of soldiers and a band playing the national anthem. The traveler asked a barkeman the reason of all this ceremony. The barkeman, lowering his voice, replied: "I don't mind telling you, sir—but in the strictest confidence, be it un understood—that a carriage in this train has been engaged for his majesty. But his majesty, as a matter of fact, won't set off till this evening. Thus the plot hatched against him may take effect on this train, you see, and our gracious sovereign will be saved." "The brakenman touched his cap and passed on, and the traveler, suddenly grown pale and nervous, stared from the window anally." High Title: Denied Washington High Titles Denied Washington. A friend calls attention to the fact that Washington, although commander in chief during the Revolution and again in 1798 during the French war, which did not really happen, did not bear the title of full general. On July 2, 1798, President Adams nominated him "to be lieutenant general and commander in chief." This was followed by the act of March 3, 1798, of which the ninth section read "that a commander of the army of the United States shall be appointed, and commissioned by the style of general of the armies of the United States," and that the present office and title of lieutenant-general shall thereafter be abolished." President Adams, jealous for the executive preagative as commander in chief, made no appointment under this act and Washington died as lieutenant general. Europe's Highest Village. "The highest village in Europe" is the inscription on a post card which shows a group of wooden cottages on a bleak hill, with no sign of vegetation in sight and having as a background a range of ice-covered mountains. The name of the place is Cumeaz in the Canton Wallis. It lies 2,047 meters above the sea level, "where Monte Rosa raises its gigantic head into the clouds." The village consists of four families, and the latest census gives it a population of 26. "The storms of spring and fall and the snows of the winter months," says the sender of the card, "make life a dreary one, and still the people look happy, and doubtless they are so." A Careless Massenger. After a messenger boy had eaten his lunch in a Pearl street restaurant in the New York financial district, Harry Bohrer, the manager, found a package on the table, and opening it he discovered that it contained $23,000 in currency and also sufficient negotiable securities to make a total of $50,000. From the papers in the package he believed the valuables belonged to the state bank, a few doors away, and hurried there with the money. The cashier quickly identified the parcel and Bohrer was given a reward. One of the prominent officials of the treasury department recently ventured the opinion that not one banker in a hundred and probably not half a dozen members of the senate or house could tell accurately what parts of the United States currency are legal tender. He went on to say: "A great many people know that the definition of legal tender is money of a character which by law a debtor may require his creditor to receive in payment in the absence of a special agreement. But when it comes to stating just what money is legal tender you will find the banker all at once." "Gold certificates are not a legal tender, but are receivable for customs, taxes and all public debts. Silver certificates are not legal tender. Neither are national bank notes. They are receivable, however, in payment of taxes, excises, public lands and all other dues to the United States, except duties on imports. Trade dollars and fractional currency are not legal tender. Fractional currency is receivable for postage and revenue stamps and also in payment of any dues to the United States less than five dollars, except duties on imports. Foreign gold and silver coins are not legal tender. "The following are legal tender in all that the term means: "Gold coins of the United States, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver coins, minor coin of copper, bronze or copper-nickel, up to 25 cents; United States notes or greenbacks, demand treasury notes, treasury notes of 1890. Columbian half dollar and Columbian quarters. Subsidiary silver coin, including Columbian half dollars and quarters, are legal tender up to $10." CASE CALLED FOR SYMPATHY Life of Single-Blessedness Made No Appeal to Battered-Up Married Woman. Apropos the discussion of the advantages of married life recalls the experience of a certain bachelor maid of some forty summers and some winters. She has had proposals enough, so she says, but she prefers single-blessedness to pouring coffee, mending socks and spanking babies. She recently began devoting much of her time to working in the slums, particularly among the women and children. A pitiful case was recently brought to her attention to care for. A woman had been cruelly treated by her husband, who, as a final act, looked her out in the street. The poor, suffering creature, ragged and disheveled, reported at the charity headquarters and begged for shelter. Miss J—— dressed her wounds, gave her something to eat and then started a sympathetic conversation with the sufferer. The latter, after recounting at much length the injuries she had borne at the hands of her liege, lord and master, asked a few questions to satisfy her womanly curiosity about her new-found friend. "Live here?" she inquired of Miss J—— "No," was the reply; "I spend only a part of my time here during the day. My home is way up in Harlem." "You're married, ain't you?" was "You're married, ain't you?" was the next question. "No, I'm not married; and I may never be." The-poor, wretched woman opened her bruised and swollen eyes as best she could to get a look at her friend, gazing at her in amazement. "My, my!" she said, sympathetically. "I'm awfully sorry. Say, but aren't it fierce to be an old maid?"—New York Times. French Forest-Making A striking example of scientific forestry is furnished by the coast of France, chiefly in Gascony, where in 1793 tree-planting was begun in an attempt to fix the sand dunes, which the winds were steadily pushing inland over the vineyards. Pine forests have now covered 275,000 of the 350,000 acres of dunes. About $2,000,000 has been spent on the work, with $700,000 more for forest administration, but the state has received $120,000 more than the cost, while the 125,000 acres still retained have a value of $10,000,000. Farther inland, about 2,000,000 acres of worthless shifting sands and marshes, in the triangular area of the Landes, have been converted into profitable pine forests since the middle of last century. This work, mostly done by the communes, has created a property worth $100,000,000, as valued from the present yield of pine timber and resin. Invited to Stay All Night. The Hostess—It's storming so hard that I guess you'd better stay all night, Mr. Scoresby. The Dinner Guest—I'm afraid I would put you to too much trouble, Mrs. Brown. The Hostess—Oh, not at all! Let me see. I can sleep on the library lounge, and Jane and Martha and Ella and Aunt Mary can room together, and there's a mattress we can bring down from the attic for Willie; and Mr. Brown, will do nicely with a blanket on the parlor rug. It's no trouble at all, Mr. Scoresby. The Guest—You're very kind, but I'm quite sure the rain is stopping, and I've an excellent umbrella. Just as much obliged. Good-night—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Week in Society Aparty of Washingtonians is forming to go to Tuskegee and New Orleans in April, taking a private car. Ralph W. Tyler left this week for a month's vacation, the first he has put taken. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, after spending several days in the city left Monday for New York. Hon. Edward Morris, of Chicago, was the guest of Grand Master W. L. Houston Saturday and Sunday. The two left Monday for Philadelphia. Mr. Emmett Scott, of Tuskegee, Ala., was in the city this week as guest of Dr. A. M. Curtis. Arrangements are being made for a debate with Lincoln University.

Mrs. Maria Choates entertained several friends during the holidays. Mrs. John Trammel gave a reception in honor of her sister, form New York. Mrs. R. D. Mullins gave a card party. Mr. and Mrs. John George entertained several friends at dinner. A rousing mass meeting was held last Sunday night at the residence of Dr. W. W. Jones, of East Deanwood Heights, D. C., for the purpose of organizing a large Citizens' Association which would take in all that portion of the District lying East of Bennings. Over seventy-five men were present and enrolled, representing the following subdivisions: Deanwood, Burrville, Lincoln, Linwood Heights, Grant Park, Fairmount Heights, Chesapeake Junction, and other adjacent places. Great enthusiasm was exhibited throughout the meeting when addresses stating the purpose of the meeting were made by Mrs. W. W. Jones, Lawyer John F. Collins, Mr. W. Sidney Pittman, Mr. R. W. Gilliam, Mr. Silence, Mr. John George, and others. After the nature of the meeting was outlined by Dr. Jones, the meeting went into permanent organization and Dr. W. W. Jones was unanimously elected president of the Citizens' Association, the name of which was afterwards decided to be Northeast Suburban Citizens' Association. Upon the election of Dr. Jones and other officers, Mr. W. Sidney Pittman was appointed Chairman of the Executive Committee. The other officers elected during the evening were: Mr. John George, vice president, Mr. Wesley, secretary; Mr. C. J. Nixon, attorney and Mr. Lloyd, chapain. Following the election of the officers, a constitutional committee was appointed as follows: R. W. Gilliam, W. Sidney Pittman, Eugene Silence, W. G. Silence, Wm. Clinton, C. S. Washington, and John F. Collins. Dr. E. E. Underwood, a friend and guest of Mr. and Mrs. Pittman was present at this meeting and delivered a very helpful address, congratulating the members on their determination to organize in the interest of their community and for the betterment of their local conditions, as was the purpose of the meeting. Dr. Underwood is a very prominent citizen of Frankfort, Ky., being one of the most highly respected men in the State of Kentucky, irrespective of color. Because of the large number of citizens present at this meeting and the great enthusiasm and universal interest displayed, it is predicted that the association will within a short time grow to be one of the largest in point of numbers and in attendance in the entire District, taking in, as it does the vast area extending from Bennings clear on out to Chesapeake Junction. The possibility for improvements and material progress in that section of the District can hardly be estimated at the present time. The officers and members are all strong men and property holders and is composed almost entirely of the hard working laboring classes, but men honest of purpose and intentions with their fellow men. So great was their satisfaction and determination that this meeting to carry out the principles which were outlined, that it is highly probable in the near future, the District authorities shall be more than willing and anxious to seek their support to return to them the many conveniences and public improvements they so much need in this section of the District. The formation of the new Citizens' Association known as the Northeast Suburban Citizens's Association of which it has been noted Dr. W. W. Jones was elected president, does not in any way conflict or interfere with the Fairmount Heights' Citizens' Association and the great work that it SOUTHERN BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL AND PARLORS TRACH AND DO THE FOLLOWING WOR Hair dressing, treatment of the hair, straight- ening, shampooing, medical scalp treatment, manicuring, chiropody and face massage.

The school proposition which Mr. Pittamn has been personally and constantly pushing forward to some tangible degree, is still being kept alive in the minds of those who will be more than apt to assist in the accomplishment of the great need of the people in the vicinity of Fairmount Heights. It is highly probable that something definite in regard to this school will soon be forthcoming. MRS. TYLER ENTERTAINS Mrs. Ralph W. Tyler entertained last Saturday evening with a dinner, it being the first of a series of social entertainments planned by the hostess.

A well-known advertising expert, responding to the toast "Sartorial Progress" at the banquet of the recent convention of the Tallors' National association, spoke somewhat as follows: "I am glad that you clothiers who advertise nowadays print pictures of men's and boys' fashions. Thus you smarten up the country and tend to abolish the dreadful custom of cutting down dad's suit to boy's size. I remember how in the distant past my little brother rushed whimpering into the sitting-room one night. "What's the matter?" I asked, sympathetically. "Oh, he murmured, 'pa's had his beard shaved off, and now I guess I've got to wear those old red whiskers!'" -Lippincott's. THE BOYS ENJOYED THEM- SELVES It is seldom that one is permitted to enjoy good things of life that have been prepared at a distance of 1700 miles and placed before one after a lapse of fifteen days, in the most toothsome and satisfying condition.

It was tackled with confidence, however, when Mr. Paynter arrived and proved not only harmless, but delightfully promising in palatable possibilities. --- --- and Sons Co., 817-823 7th St. FACE LIGHTER COLORED EVERY IMPORTANT OCCASION?

One-third of Washington's population is Negro. If all the Negroes in Washington were colonized in one place they would make a city larger than Richmond, Virginia. There are seven theatres in Washington, supported by a white population of 241,923 and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colonized in the galleries, the only place to which the Negro is admitted. THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRSTCLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of Washington, where a colored professional or business man or woman, and there are hundreds of them in the National Capital, can obtain business quarters. JUST THINK OF IT! 100,000 enterprising, thrifty, intelligent people, through race prejudice, swept completely out of the business district of Washington; 100,000 genteel, prosperous, amusement loving people deprived of every form of theatrical entertainment unless willing to submit to the most humiliating conditions. Every colored man and woman IN Washington. Every colored man and woman VISITING Washington. Every colored man and woman in America, familiar with the true state of the Negro in Washington, realizes that a theatre, store, and office building, operated by the Negroes, for the Negroes, is A NECESSITY. The welfare of the race demands it. The self-respect of the race demands it. Any enterprise resting its hope of success upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a SUCCESS. A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is a NECESSITY. Appreciating to the utmost that fact— THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central Business District of the city of Washington a magnificent theatre, seating capacity 2,500, and a store and office building of splendid proportion, adequate in every respect to meet the requirements of prosperous professional and business men. The enterprise is exceptional in two respects: First—It is absolutely safe. Second—It promises enormous possibilities as a money maker. Features that must appeal to every man or woman with a few dollars to invest, and you are such a man or woman or you would not have read this far. THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING COMPANY has surveyed the field carefully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants are available for the offices, that dozens of merchants are ready to rent the stores, and that 100,000 people are anxious to patronize the theatre exclusively, and make it the best ng, Clin- ams, H, ins.

ADVISORY BOARD CLAMATION ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO. Not one dollar of white capital will be accepted in exchange for its securities. There is not one dollar of Promotion Stock consequently there is no watered stock. Every holder of stock from the President down must pay at LEAST $10.00 per share for every share of stock allotted to him. This does not mean that the price of stock will REMAIN at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. It will advance in price far beyond $10.00, just as railroad and public utility stock goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock go to several times its present value. This means that a share of stock covering $10.90 NOW will be worth $40.00 when stock goes to four times par. Estimates show that the Company's earnings will be 20 per cent, and that is four times par, with every dollar invested in Real Estate. THE BEST in the city of Washington, where values are as firmly fixed as the Rock of Gibraltar. This does not mean that the price of stock will remain at $10.00 per share. It is $10.00 NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated, pays 20 per cent, a $10.00 share of stock will be worth $40.00. If it pays 40 per cent, a dingle share of $10.00 stock will be worth $80.00. Just as railroads and public utility stocks increase in value, so will the Lincoln Memorial Building Company's stock increase in price. The first allotment of stock at $10.00 a share is being rapidly subscribed, and the next allotment will be $12.50 per share, to which point it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are urged to avail yourself of the present opportunity to get in as completely on the ground floor as any one of the Company's Directors are. The Company's Directors, by the way, are men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY.

RICHARDSON'S DRUG Old Colonial Records Show Act Was Attempted In 1655 — The Punishment. It is not necessary to give up our pious faith in the superior political morality of our forefathers when we learn that even in the first generation of Bostonians was found a ballot stuffer. The same record which reveals this break, records also its instant repudiation and punishment. It was on the fourteenth day of January, 1655, 25 years after the settlement of Boston, according to the quaint records preserved of the king's chapel, that a referendum was held as to whether a part of the land should be alienated. The old chronicle runs: "The Inhabitants proceeded to bring in their votes; and when the Selectmen were receiving 'em at the Door of the Hall they observed one of the Inhabitants, viz. John Pigeon, to put in about a dozen with the word Yea wrote on all of 'em, being charged with so doing, he acknowledged it, and was thereupon Ordered by the Moderator to pay a Fine of Five Pounds for putting in the settlement of Boston cording to the more than One Vote according to Law, and the Moderator thereupon declared to the Inhabitants that they must draw and bring in their Votes again in Manner as before directed, and the Inhabitants accordingly withdrew and the Votes being brought in and sorted it appeared that there were Four Hundred and two votes and that there was two hundred and five Yeas and one hundred and ninety-seven Nays." — Boston Transcript. BITTER WAS THE AWAKENING Sleeping Owner of Millions Brought Back to Earth by Stern Yet Modest Demand. "I dreamed last night that beginning with $100 I pyramided my bets on the stock market so that in a little while I had $2,000,000,000," said one of the artist colony in West Sixty-seventh street yesterday. "A crowd of people came to me and besought me to cease speculating. They pointed out that I had more money than I could ever spend and if I kept on I would own all there was in the world. I replied that I wanted a billion dollars more for my own use and that I proposed with the two billion I already had to establish a great institution where all the artists and writers and sculptors might work free from pecuniary annoyances, and raise the standard of beauty in all the arts throughout the world. The last man who came to beg me to stop making money was my attorney. I turned a deaf ear to his entreaties and finally he sternly demanded of me the two dollars and a half that I had borrowed from him last week. Then I woke up."—New York Press.

C. Wm. Henry, Champion Swimmer, Coming Over to Teach Us. He Is Founder of the Royal English Society Devoted to Rescuing the Drowning—Easy When You Know How, He Says. London.—Remarkable progress in the art of saving life from drowning has been made both in Europe and America since the foundation 18 years ago of the English Royal Life Saving society which first organized this service to humanity. William Henry, the founder of this famous society, left England recently on a missionary visit to the United States and Canada. After visiting Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Kingston and other Canadian cities, he will give lectures and illustrations of life saving in Buffalo, New York and other places in the United States. Mr. Henry is one of those enthusiasts whose zeal is infectious. Being in the happy position of financial independence, he devotes most of his time to his hobby—life saving—and under his direction the society has grown from a small body in 1891, when it was founded, to embrace more than 600 affiliated associations and clubs, numbering over 180,000 members. The governing authorities of schools, colleges and universities in England all have come under his sway. He has visited nearly all the continental countries and has established societies in Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and Finland. His methods of life saving are being taught in the Australian commonwealth, New Zealand, India, William Henry, Champion Life Saver, Who Is Coming to America. Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and South America; and now he is off to the schools, colleges and cities of the North American continent in search of converts and recruits. As a swimmer Mr. Henry is famous not only throughout the United Kingdom but also all over the continent of Europe. He was long-distance champion of England in 1899, salt water champion in 1899, and won the lifesaving competition at the Olympic games in Paris in 1900. Besides those he has taken part in numerous international competitions, winning prizes in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden, until to-day he is the possessor of more than 600 trophies won in swimming and life-saving contests. Every school in England which has a swimming club attached to it teaches life-saving as part of the curriculum. Examinations are held by the society and certificates granted, and the great progress made may be judged from the increase in the number of certificates awarded since these practical examinations were instituted. "My object in going to America," said Mr. Henry just before leaving London, "is to try and stimulate the heads of schools and colleges there to take up life saving and have it taught, just as they teach the children to read. The importance of a knowledge of the best method to resuscitate an apparently drowned person ought to be clear to everybody. "People get drowned in America just as they do in England; but hundreds of lives would be saved if would-be rescuers only knew how to go to work. In every part of the world there are hundreds of abortive efforts at rescue every year. Frequently what would have been a single tragedy is turned into a double one through the absence of a little knowledge on the part of the would-be helper." GREAT AVENUE SAFE Trade's Talons Not to Grip Famous Champs Elysees. Not. Even a Philharmonic Palace Will Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Thoroughfare and Children's Paradise Along Its Course. Paris. The probability that the Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue in the world, will always be preserved as an artistic promenade and a children's paradise has been strengthened by action just taken by the municipal council of Paris. The council not only refused to grant a permit for the construction of a Philharmonic palace on the site of the now defunct summer circus, but voted to investigate concessions previously granted, looking to the removal of some of the music halls and restaurants now flourishing there. This official action is in keeping with the true Parisian spirit. The one occasion on which the Frenchman looses his pursestrings without a murmur is when an expenditure for municipal embellishment is proposed. No other city watches over the beauty of its boulevards and parks with such jealous care. Succeeding municipal administrations differ widely on all other points, but, whether the government is nationalist or socialist, its first aim is invariably to maintain intact the artistic inheritance of Europe's most beautiful capital. There was almost a revolt, 12 years ago, when a tramway company asked a concession for a track across the avenue in a side street. This right was finally bestowed but had the council granted a subsequent application for a track along the Champs Elysees itself the lives of the city legislators would have been threatened by an aroused populace. The single track across the driveway has always been regarded as a scar. It is not improbable that in a few years the tramway company will be required to construct a tunnel beneath the surface of the street. It is by underground passages that the city already is proposing to handle the foot traffic without interfering with the perpetual stream of vehicles or marring the beauty of the thoroughfare through the construction of viaducts. The first of these sub Garden of the Tuilleries, Paris. ranean passages, leading from side to side of the Avenue des Champs Elysees, has only recently been opened. If this proves as popular as is expected other such tunnels will be constructed under other busy tsreets, notably the grand boulevards. The parkway known as the Champs Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid out near the end of the seventeenth century. It was called the Grand Cours at first and was given its present name in the time of Louis XVI. The avenue itself is more than a mile long and is lined from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, with pine, lime and chestnut trees. The promenade is the favorite afternoon drive of the fashionable world of Paris and it is there that the badaud, or French cockney, is seen to perfection. On one side is a park, 750 yards long and 40 wide, which is filled with cafes chantants and such amusements and amusement-providers for children as jugglers, marionettes, merry-go-rounds and chocolate vendors. Here idolizing parents stand for hours watching their petit bonhommes caracolling on wooden horses, while la bonne, in a snowy cap, holds the babies. At night the thoroughfare, brilliantly illuminated, offers a vivid suggestion of fairyland. The Avenues des Champs Elysees is one, of the "lungs" of Paris. At each end and all about it are places of importance in the life and history of the city and the state. It almost skirts the River Seine, the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, where there are great art exhibitions, separating the park from the quays at one point. An avenue starting at the Champs Elysees, between the two buildings, crosses the river on the beautiful Pont Alexandre III. and leads to Napoleon's tomb. On the opposite side of the Champs Elysees is the Palais de l'Elysees, the official residence of the president of France. It was once the home of Mme. de Pompadour and was occupied in later years, successively, by Murat, Napoleon I, Louis Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Emperor Alexander I, and Duc de Berril. The throngs of motorists, carriage drivers, horse riders and bicyclists who visit the Bols de Boulogue traverse the Avenues des Champs Elysees first. Beyond the Aro the Avenue du Bols de Boulogue leads up past Princess de Sagan's pink marble palace to the famou LEGAL NOTICES RICHARDSON and POLLARD SUPREME COURT OF THE DIS No. 15801, Administration.

Before Tragle Events That Raised Him to Throne He Was Educated for the Sea—WIL Visit England in New Future. Lisbon.—An active, good humored, very vital young man is the impression given by Dom Manuel, the 19-year-old king of Portugal, who is expected to visit the United Kingdom in November. The comprehensive and strenuous education considered necessary for his exalted position has not dulled the ready wilt which he has inherited from Queen Amella, and he also shares her open air tastes, spending a good part of his leisure in tennis, fencing and riding. He has, moreover, artistic accomplishments, being both a musician and a painter. Before the tragic events that brought him to the throne, he was being educated as a sailor, and threw himself eagerly into the study of modern science and mathematics and the technicalities of naval construction. Two years ago, therefore, his outlook on life was rather the sailor's than the king's, and a strenuous course of study was mapped out for him. It included, according to a writer in the Xuano, philosophy, political science and the physical sciences. He arose at seven every morning and studied Plato and Greek philosophy for an hour before he went to breakfast in his mother's apartments. The morning from ten to twelve o'clock was devoted to astronomy, inorganic chemistry and general science and the afternoon from one to four to history and jurisprudence. In the evenings he relaxed into music and less serious literature, retiring to bed at nine. This scheme of study was pursued for months with scarcely any interruption. He has displayed an unusual aptitude for mathematics, and speaks JOHN B. King of Portugal. French, Spanish and Italian fluently. The thesis he submitted for his doctor's degree at the university displayed a very creditable knowledge of the history of Portuguese literature. On account of the dangers that hedge his throne, his education was conducted in the palace, and its scheme was not generally understood, and consequently misrepresented. It was apprehended that he was being trained as a student and recluse rather than as a king. Not long ago, therefore, he visited the University of Coimbra and was received in state by the professors and uproariously by the students. The latter removed the horses from his carriage at the station and dragged him through the streets with enthusiastic cheering until, carried away by their excitement, he alighted and joined them on foot. In the degree hall he conversed with the rector in Latin, showed such an extensive knowledge of contemporary science, and criticised a dissertation on ethical philosophy with an astuteness that quickly brought the critics of his education to confusion. One of the most pleasing features of his life is the close relationship between him and his tragically widowed mother, Queen Amella. In his childhood he used to rise at six every morning and read poetry and art criticisms to her while she painted till breakfast time. During the weeks he lay ill after the assassination of his father and brother, she nursed him assiduously, performing all that he needed done for him with her, own hands. The habit of breakfasting together is still kept up, and the young king spends his evenings in her company. The following anecdote shows the closeness of the friendship between them, and also the graceful repartee in which he excels. When during his training for the navy he was anxious to return to Lisbon to continue his studies, Queen Amelia asked him, somewhat pliqued, why he was so eager to leave her. "Because if I do not leave you at once, I shall be unable to leave you at all," he quoted, prettily, from one of her favorite poets. He is quite a sportsman, and is very fond of dogs. A Danish boarhound, Box, and a terrier, Tagus, are his principal pets. Go ahead and do the best you can and don't worry about the consequences. "Old Pomp" There When His Marse Charlie and Marse William Fought Duel. There was nothing old Pomp en- joyed more than telling stories of the importance of his position in the days "befo' de wah," when he was a con- spicuous figure on a southern plantation of the best sort. "I brung up Marse Charlie an' Marse William," he often said, solemnly. "Deir own family' lowed I saved boe deir lives once, besides all de res' I done fo' 'em. "Twar jee' like dis: Marse Charlie an' Marse William, dey bofe tuk de mos' grejus fancy to a young lady dat come a-visiting de house; an' somebody had fill deir foolish' hails all up wid talk about duels; an' dey jees' promulgated to hab one, an' find out which ob 'em was to hab de young lady. "Marse Charlie he was seventen, short an' fiery, and Marse William he was sixteen, slim an' cool; but dey was bofe sot' an' termined on de duel. "Course deye didn't tell me 'bout it, but I 'spected it, same as I always did, 'kase I looked after dem boys fo' deir paw an' maw, when dore was comphy. "So I watched out, an' I follered, an' I creep' up to where dey was beginning to take p'ession fo' de duel, an'—an' I jes' broke it up." "How did you do it, Pomp?" each listener is sure to ask. "How did I do it, chile? Why. I jee' emptied a pall o' water right on Marse Charlie's haid, an' I tuk an' spanked Marse William—dat's how."—Youth's Companion. SET AVERAGE MAN THINKING Could There Be Anything Sarcastle in What She So Quietly Set Forth? "How sad it is," said the Average Man to the Average Woman, "that you are a tiresome creature—considered, of course, from a purely impersonal standpoint." "I am interested," said the Average Woman. "Pray go on—as far as you like. I'm in the mood where real can- dor is the only thing I care for. Why then, am I tiresome?" "Because of your limited range. For example, your conversation is exclusively confined to babies and bridge, servants and cigarettes, clothes and cotillions." "How interesting!" exclaimed the Average Woman," "and how true! That suggests an idea. I shall reform." "In what way?" She smiled ambitiously. "Hereafter," she said, "I shall widen my range of thought to include business, sport, woman and the quality of tobacco and rum, interspersed occasionally by the telling of indecent stories." The Average Man had nothing to say. Indeed, for the first time in his life he was actually thinking.—Life. Really Poor Penman. There is a certain Philadelphia physician of considerable prominence who is renowned among his friends as the worst penman in the Quaker city. He used to write them letters and then feel hurt when they could not read them. When he wrote to persons who were not familiar with his scrawl they frequently would not know whom the letters were from. Some time ago he introduced a typewriter into his office, and this rendered the body of the letter intelligible, but did not clear up the difficulty over the signature. Now, however, says the Record, he has had made a rubber stamp bearing his name and address in printing. He signs his name in the usual scrawl, but alongside he impresses his stamp. It is a little humiliating, he says, but he no longer has any trouble about persons to whom he writes not knowing from whom the letters are. What Roads Owe to Salt. Roads, we are told, owe a great deal to salt. According to one theory, the oldest trade routes came into existence as a result of the traffic in salt. One of the oldest roads in Italy is the "Via Salaria," along which the people of the Sabine country obtained their salt from the salt pans of Ostia. Salt was the main merchandise carried in the trans-Libyan caravans of the days of Herodotus, and salt is one of the chief elements in the trade along the Sahara caravan routes to-day. Salt and salt fish, it is interesting to remember, entered largely into the commerce of the Carthaginians. The latter, by the way, was considered a delicacy in those pre-Christian days. Forced to Guess Answer. It beats all what odd question reach some of the departments of government in Washington. Not long ago the treasury received a letter from a Pittsburg man who had inside a bet, asking: "How many cents are there in a bushel?" The answer was not easy to offer. If the man had asked about pounds he might have received a definite answer. As it was, he got in reply a guess from a clerk, that "roughly there are something like $320, or $2,000 pennles." On the Installment Plan. "I dreamed last night that I bought a fine set of books, so much down, so much a month." "Pshaw! There's nothing remarkable about that. People actually do that every day."
