VOL.XXXI NO15 AN OPEN LETTER Open Letter. Washington, D. C., Sept. 6, 1910. Mr. A. T. Stuart, Superintendent of Public Schools, District of Columbia Dear Sir: The Act of Congress creating and defining the duties of the present Board of Education for the District of Columbia imposed upon the superintendent vast power and responsibilities, not the least among which is that of naming certain subordinate officers second only to the superintendent in authority and power. In the continuance of Mr. Percy Hughes as your chief aid for the white schools you displayed your usual good judgment, for in Mr. Hughes the white schools have a broad-gauge educator—a man who is not only familiar with the school system, but by his knowledge and thoroughness has impressed both teachers and pupils with the fact that he possesses all the qualifications for a safe and sane guide. On the other hand, the legacy left by your immediate predecessor, the assistant superintendent for the colored schools, has proven a lamentable failure! Inducted into a position previously held by such competent and experienced educators as Cook and Montgomery, the present incumbent, after a few months drilling, was placed by the before-referred-to superintendent at the head of the colored schools—a position next in numbers and importance to that held by yourself. If it were a chair in some college instead of the head of a vast school system, he would flounder in its vastness; as it is, X-rays fail to do justice to his infinitesimalism. Mr. Superintendent, the colored people look to you for the betterment of their schools, not because Congress has placed in your hands the remedy; but from the fact of your personal knowledge of the great difference in the colored school management under Cook and Montgomery. The former, as you are well aware, were competent and practical educators, while the present accident is a visionary theorist and experimenter. Mr. Superintendent, no large body, civic or otherwise, can be successful unless there is confidence in the ability and integrity of those at its head. The lack of those pre-eminent elements for success is one main reason why the colored schools are trailing far behind the white schools. The teachers' confidence as to the practical knowledge and reliability of the misfit at the head of their schools is of a variable quantity. Those, and they are few in number, who fawn for favors, are loud in their praise of the youth of Tuskegee, but the reliable mass who appreciate the trust, the people's children, confided to them are compelled to witness daily fruitless attempts to engraft on a public school system the ligaments of college life. Mr. Superintendent, analyze the many, many things of questionable correctness brought to your official notice pertaining to the management of the colored schools, and, having done so, weigh them by your sense of justice; then add a margin for the silent, suffering teacher. The result, I feel sure, will be to the advantage of the colored schools. In conclusion, Mr. Superintendent, Tuskegee is a wonderful institution and Dr. Washington's great insight into personal fitness and character has questionably made it what it is, as he is known to get none but the best educators, and let go only, those who fail to make good. I am, with respect. THE EDITOR. CULTIVATING THE FARM. Regrets of Farmers—Col. Roosevelt's Address. Rural district life is engaging the attention of man and woman. Cultivating the farm and living thereon will drive poverty from many a door. President Roosevelt's address to the citizens of Utica, N. Y., is replete with advice to the farmers. As published in the South Carolina State, he touched every phase of life on the farm. This speech ought to be circulated among the farmers and their wives throughout the country. The preachers, teachers and other leaders who are interested in the affairs of humanity, should lay more stress upon the importance of drawing the sustenance of life from the breast of the soil, thereby inducing 5-BEE 6, the young to improve their rural district life. Then there would not be such a tendency to crowd to the cities, spending their time indolently and amusement. Excuse the digression, but allow this observation in passing. If a compulsory work law could be enacted by our State Legislatures, which would drive the idle and thriftless youths from the street corner universities and from the park training schools of our large cities, where they congregate daily and play crap, when they should be at work; and banish them from the railroad stations and pool rooms of our towns and villages, it would be of outtold value in the solution of the many problems which confront us, and as he as great a benefaction as compulsory education. If every county in the different States of the Union had its social settlement workshop, including a farm, where this indolent, go-easy class of humanity which is a menace to mankind could be sent and compelled to work until habits of thrift and usefulness are cultivated, quite a revenue would be brought into the county treasuries, which would help to increase the school tax. This municipal compulsory working element should be paid wages, part of which should be deducted for food and clothing, and the other part should be placed in the bank to their credit during their apprenticeship. When they have been trained to respect the dignity of labor and taught to work and can and will work, release them and use this accumulated money to start them on small farms, or some other self-supporting enterprise. In conversation with a farmer and his wife in one of the States the other day they said: "We hire hands to work and these hands, instead of giving an honest day's work for the pay promised, work to kill time. When we leave them they slip to the orchard or to the watermelon patches, or go to the spring, half a mile away, frequently, and often leave the mule and plow in the field and lie under a spreading shade tree and sleep." A farmer in another State said: "I have almost given up the hope of making any progress on my farm with the kind of labor now available." But the industrial school, where agriculture is taught in practice as well as in theory, will make a more efficient and reliable class of helpers in such fields of endeavor and solve many intricate problems. Therefore, every county should maintain a compulsory agricultural work-settlement for the indolent, non-criminal class, who can work and will not work. Every public school should have an industrial department, and teach the girls to cook and to keep the house clean. Such training is largely neglected in the home life of the present-day generation of young people. Is it any wonder that there is so much tuberculosis fatality? Work is a pancacea for all disease. Let there be less book grinding and more knowledge about agriculture and domestic science. A return to the farm will produce a better class of boys and girls who will develop into self reliant and reliable men and women. In his Utica address, Mr. Roosevelt told the farmers that they ought to avail themselves of expert advice from technical men, and not be content to go on without improving their methods of farming. He thought that the farm life should be made more attractive and that the farmers' wives ought to have an easier time. He spoke of the country church, and urged the farmer to have the right kind of religion. Adam and Eve were the first farmers, and they combined farm work and religion, and had the best preacher—God. On every large farm there should be a church and a school, and the preacher and teacher should be as godly as it is possible for human beings to be. Says Mr. Roosevelt: "I want to be able to recognize the good Christian by the way he acts on week days." He says further: "I will never go with the type of farmer who says, 'I am down on the lawyers: I am against the business man.' I will go with him when he says, 'I am against a bad type of lawyers, or bad type of bankers.' In other words, I will go with him when he pronounces judgment on a man not on account of his occupation, in accordance with conduct." Please permit your correspondent to speak of a farm in Virginia, managed and worked by a lawyer and his wife. Here farming and law are combined. These people are wielding a most hallowed influence in the community. Because of its boundary—two rivers and a creek—its plenty, its beautiful situation, and one man and one woman, being its only human inhabitants, it is named "Paradise Farm." The mountains, the hills, the plains, the valleys, excellent water, and pure, bracing air, make it an ideal health resort. A visit to Paradise Farm will convince you that all Mr. Roosevelt says about farming is worth while. Everything the market affords is produced on this farm. Hence the high-priced food problem here is not a knotty question. They have many horses, mules, oxen, swine, chickens, turkeys, apple trees, peach trees, cherry trees, all kinds of berries, beautiful flowers, chestnut trees, walnut trees, and great towering pines and oaks. To see those stately oaks, deep covered with moss, reminds one of Tennyson's "Talking Oak." The scenery is magnificent! Goldberry mountains, clothed in verdant vines; Nat-Lu-Pu, with its sweet-scented shrubbery; "the Lucinda Picnic Grove;" high, slady, and lovely, for pleasure seekers, are among the attractions of Paradise Farm. Mrs. L. S. Chase Goldsberry is a most wonderful woman, having been reared and educated in Washington, and being principal of one of the largest schools in the city up to the time of her marriage to Lawyer Goldsberry, and never before living on a farm until now. It hardly seems possible that she has developed into a full-fledged, up-to-date farmer. She herself cares for about five hundred chickens. The hennery yields dozens of eggs daily, which she ships to market. She mounts the machinery, drives the horses over the farm, and plants the seed the same as Mr. Goldsberry. Paradise Farm is located in Nelson County, Virginia, in two forks of Buffalo and Tye Rivers. It is one mile and a half from Tye River Station, on the Southern Railroad, containing (goo) five hundred acres. On the north and west are the Goldsberry mountains: southeast it has three and a half miles river front, affording bathing, fishing, and boating recreations, abounding with river-side parks and surrounded by the Blue Ridge mountains, some of whose chains and peaks are seen from all points of Paradise Farm. The health features are excellent. Great springs here and there, among M. B. which are sulphur, lithea, iron, etc. was not legal, and yet the This, farm, operated by Lawyer N.

On either side of this farm are large quarries manufacturing soapstone (and this farm itself has an extensive vein of the soapstone), the vein of which runs across Paradise Farm. The owner, whose law office is in the city of Lynchburg, and his smart and excellent wife, spend their winters in their beautiful home in Lynchburg. Paradise Farm is an Edenic spot for quiet, rest, and recuperation, and the Pilgrim (W. V.) shall be enticed to return next summer. C. T. WALKER FOR PRESIDENT. Eminent Divine From Georgia Will Possibly be Elected President of National Baptist Convention in New Orleans. Augusta, Ga.—When the announcement was made several months ago that Dr. Charles T. Walker, of this city, was a candidate for the presidency of the National Baptist Convention, a commotion was created, and it was at once whispered around the entire United States among the leaders that his election would be a certainty. This argument is more fully substantiated by several facts which, when looked at properly, mean his unanimous election. He is one of the most eloquent speakers and forceful debaters in the United States, and hails from a State that is overwhelmingly Baptist. He is the people's ideal, and has the ability to organize. He knows what the people want, need and must have. The strongest thing in favor of his unanimous election is the fact that Dr. Morris, who has served for more than 16 years as president of the Convention, has said emphatically that under no condition would he accept the presidency if there were another candidate for the position; that it would have to be acclamation or not at all. It is understood that Dr. Walker has notified Dr. Morris that he is a candidate for the presidency and has asked him for his support. The delegates from Georgia are enthusiastic for Dr. Walker. It is said that when the name of Dr. $C_{q}$ T. Walker is presented at New Orleans that Dr. Morris will decline to stand for re-election, and that when Dr. Walker is put in nomination by his home State, it will be seconded by nearly every State in the Union. VIRGINIA·ARCH·MASONS. They Take Exception to the Action of Rev. Lucus. It would seem from the action of some people of this world, like Banquo's Ghost, that they will not be down or stayed buried, it makes no difference what decision may be rendered against them. This event is called to my mind by an article in the issue of this paper of Aug. 27, wherein certain parties are trying to defend the legality of the so-called Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of F. A. A. Y. M. Masons. In this article the parties assert that African Lodge, 459, located in Boston, constituted in 1787. was not legal, and yet the men that constituted the Lodge were regularly initiated, past and raised in a regular military lodge, working under the Grand Lodge of England, and this Lodge was chartered by the Grand Master of England and was known as African Lodge, 459, and was carried on the rolls of the Grand Lodge of England until 1813, at which time African Lodge and all white lodges working under the Grand Lodge of England were stricken from the roll. The question has arisen whether or not they paid dowage fee. This does not enter the question; suffice to say that the Grand Lodge reorganized their legality; therefore, all of the legitimate descendants of the African Lodge must be legal, and all Grand Lodges duly constituted and organized by three of more legal Blue Lodges must be legal, and no Grand Lodge organized without three or more subordinate lodges is not or cannot be legal; and as the so-called Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, F. A. A. Y. M. Masons was organized in 1896 without a single subordinate lodge in the United States, we cannot see how they can claim legality. They claim to have charters or warrants from across the waters constituting them a Grand body. For anybody that is familiar with Masonic law knows that no Grand Body in foreign countries would attempt to invade the jurisdiction of the United States to set up lodges, as it is directly against the Masonic laws, because this has not been virgin soil for over 50 years or more; and aside from the Mystic Shrine, no auxiliary of Masonry has been brought into this country for ever 50 years. I hope that this short sketch will be satisfactory to all parties concerned. WM. H. SEVORSON. The Smart Set. The greatest combination upon the boards to-day is the Smart Set Company at the Howard Theater. The Washington people, as the Bee predicted some time ago, will support a first-class theater as well as a first-class show. Every evening during this week the capacity of this theater has been taxed to its fullest extent. Mr. S. H. Dudley is a comedian of the first water. His acting is natural and at no time does he fail to win the admiration of his audience. Mrs. Ada Overton Walker is the most refined genius on the stage to-day. Her singing, acting, dancing and everything about her perfect. She is no doubt the greatest actress upon the American stage to-day. Now here comes Andrew Tribble. Where can you find such another genius? His make-up as well as acting is faultless. James Lightfoot, who is a very young man, plays the part of an old man. Well, he is good, and he plays his part to perfection. Miss Lottie Grady is a very sweet singer and dancer and plays to perfection her character. She is very sweet and refined in her stunts. Mr. William Ramsey, who plays Moes Lewis, the sport, will no doubt be one of the best comedians upon the stage in the near future. Mrs. Ella, Anderson, who plays Carolina Brown, a widow, is entitled to the highest commendation. She is dignified and sweet in her singing and perfect in her acting. The choruses are good and the young ladies show off to an advantage. Too much cannot be said of the Smart Set Company, and those who have failed to see it have missed a great treat. All of the participants are entitled to great credit. The hardest-worked participants in the show are the chorus girls, whose singing, dancing and the many changes of their costumes are some of the principal features in the show. The genius who set the play to music is Mr. James Braith, who leads the orchestra, and he led more white orchestras than any colored director in this country. INDEPENDENT POLITICAL MOVEMENT Taft and Roosevelt Denounced—Colored Voters Advised to Support Men and Not Party—Revs. Corrothers, Waldron and Neal Make Pointed Addresses — Rev. Ross' Wild Flight. There was a large meeting of the Independent Political Movement held at True Reformers' Hall Tuesday evening. Rev. S. L. Corrothers presided and stated the object of the meeting. He made a most eloquent plea for Negro independence in politics and advised colored Americans to cease being serfs and cowards to political parties. He declared his dislike for President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt. Mr. James L. Neal, in a well-pointed address, explained the object of the organization. He said that the members of the organization were not Democrats or Republicans, and that they did not urge colored men to support either party; but what he did advise was for the colored voters to support men irrespective of their parties, as long as they believed in equality of citizenship. His address was applauded throughout. Rev. Waldron delivered a most vehement address. He denounced the President for his failure to protect the colored people and his white man's Southern policy. That he was no Democrat, but an American citizen. Any man, said Rev. Waldron, who would say that he would not appoint a man to office who had a majority of the white people against him was not the kind of man to ask for the support of the colored people. The most unwise speech was delivered by Rev. Ross. His oratorical flights were without sense or reason. He denounced the men who erected the Howard Theater and said that the colored people could not be fooled, etc. That he wanted to see a theater built by the colored people with a colored manager in deed and in fact. This reference to the theater was irrelevant. Rev. Ross' speech did not help the cause of the movement. Over the B. & O. R. R. At a meeting of the delegates-elect to the 15th B. M. C. held the 31st inst. at Odd Fellows Hall, it was agreed that the B. & O. Railroad shall be the official route over which the delegates shall travel from this city to Baltimore, the convention city. The delegates from the Households of Ruth, meeting the same night, also agreed to travel over the same road. Both delegations will leave Washington at noon on Sunday, Sept. 10. Mr. Isaae' W.

A dyspeptic-looking man had taken his seat in a railway carriage, when a fellow-passenger bent forward with a confidential "Pardon me, sir, but what—" The dyspeptic was ready. "Adam was the first man," he said, in a cold, dull monotone. "Moses was the meekest man; there never was any meekest woman. Columbus discovered America. In the winter of 1847 and 1848 potatoes formed almost the sole food of the Irish peasantry. White sheep eat more than black ones, because there are more of them. A door is not a door when its afar. Golf is pronounced 'golf'. It is highly improper to wear a wide-awake with a frock coat. Yes, it is a good morning, and I have used everybody's soap.

"The foregoing, information," went on the accentless voice, "is all I know about anything of any name or nature—past, present or future. I want nothing in the world but quietude," he added; "and if you don't let me alone I'll throw my grip out of the window, and jump out after it. I have spoken." Wonder of Nature. During the course of a voyage recently, when midway between Murseillies and the Strait of Bonifacio, a "green flash" was seen at sunset. The sky was perfectly cler after a cloudless day, with little wind. As the sun approached the horizon the line 'twint sea and sky for about forty-five degrees each side of the sun became suffused with a rich dull rose pink and the waves reflected a marvelous ruby shade on their surfaces facing the sunset, while the other faces were an opalescent blue or green from the upper sky. The two colors flashed and changed in a marvelous way. Such intensity of coloring had never been seen by those on board. The sun set clean into the sea and about ten or less seconds after it had disappeared a bright green single flash, just like a railway signal lamp, but brighter far, met our view and rewarded our watching for it.—Symon's Meteorological Magazine.

It is gone. The price asked for cold roast beef is everywhere higher than it was and the difference ranges all the way from five cents to a quarter. But neither the place nor the price seem to avail. The slice is certain to be about half as thick as it used to be. And I'm not the only man who'd pay even a greater advance for one of the old thick slices." Female Education. There is no division of opinion as to the goal for which our girls are educated. More and more out of the chaotic past the conviction stands out that each one of us is in training for the service of the race. A woman's goal, like a man's, is to give up her life that the life of the next generation may be safer and wiser and happier than this one. No higher education that is not foolish and ill judged can unfit a woman from bringing splendid children into the world and training them wisely. No higher education that is not foolish and ill judged can unfit a woman who is not blessed with children for dealing nobly and wisely and generously with the rising generation.—Harper's Bazar.

NEW YORK TANGIER"HOLYMAN" HAD LEARNED THE METHODS OF BARNUM AND BAILEY. American Experience Aided Charlatan In Galning the Reverence and Small Coin of His Fellow Believers. "There is hardly anything more enjoyable than to find an unexpected bit of the west in places thousands of miles and hundreds of years from the United States," said a New York man, according to the Sun of that city. "My wife and I went to Tangler from Gibraltar. The day after our arrival we paid an early visit to the market. Suddenly, as we stood looking on, there was a commotion in the crowd, which parted right and left. I could hear the clash of cymbals, but was amazed to see men bowing almost to the ground as they made way. In the lane thus created appeared a tall man wearing a long robe of many colors and a necklace of charms. He kept his eyes turned heavenward as he walked, keeping up a clashing with a pair of cymbals as he proceeded. At his girdle was a gourd into which some of the multitude tossed copper coles. My courier told me that he was a dervish, a holy man from the Sudan. "I thought the dervish would make a good subject for my camera, but the courier said he doubted whether it could be arranged, as all good Musselmans had religious scruples against being photographed. I insisted, and the courier said he would do his best. "So we followed along after the dervish, through a little side street into a broader one, and having turned the corner the courier approached the dervish and exchanged a few words with him. The holy man looked to see whether any Mohammedans were looking on, and there being none in sight he nodded in a dignified manner. He posed while my wife and I took several good snapshots of him. "I went up to give him a small token of thanks and was surprised when, after looking at me a moment, he said: 'English' "No.' I replied. 'American.' "Ah! American!" he cried. "Me America,' he continued, pointing toward himself. 'New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, St. Louis. Six months Barnum & Bailey.' He smiled all over as he took what I offered him, then bowing in a dignified fashion he went off, casting his eyes toward the sky and clawing his cymbals as he went. "The next morning we went to the market again. Suddenly again we heard the cymbals clashing, and saw the crowd part, and almost prostrate itself, and in a second our dervish friend of the day before appeared again, his eyes plusously cast toward heaven. "We were sitting on our donkeys and watching him in some curiosity as he neared us. Just as he got opposite he turned his head in our direction. He caught my eye and the lid of his left optic closed in one long, eloquent wink." A Dry Occasion Broek, Ind., where George Ade practises gentleman farming, is right in the middle of the teetotal belt of Indiana. Last summer, one broiling hot day, a man came along in an automobile, having just patched up a puncture outside of Brook. He ran into the little village and saw a native standing in front of the general store. He stopped his machine and went up to the native. "Say, brother," he said, "will you tell me where I can get a good, cold bottle of beer around here? The native took the autmobilist by the arm out to the middle of the road, pointed down its dusty length, and said: "The nearest place is 50 miles right down that road."—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. About Egypt The total area of Egypt proper is about 480,000 square miles, of which however, only some 14,000 square miles are arable. The population exceeds 10,000,000, the density of the settled part thus surpassing that of any other land on earth, Belgium not excepted. This superiority of Egypt as an agricultural country is owing to the equable climate; the possibility of carrying on farming all the year round, a constant supply of water and, as a consequence of the Nile overflow, a natural and perpetual richness of the soil, which does away with the great cost of fertilization. For the Scandalmonger The Orleans museum has just been enriched with a curious relic of the past which some workmen in making excavations in the city came across. It is a stone representing a grinning figure, showing the teeth, the countenance being repellent enough. In this way the loquacious woman, the scandalmonger, was brought to her senses. The stone, suspended by a chain, was placed round her neck, and so accoutered she was compelled to walk round the town in which she lived. The stone is supposed to date about the sixteenth century. No Chance for Fraud. Jones (to friend who is showing his collection of "old masters")—How do you know they are originals? Friend—Oh, I was too smart to play into the hands of a dealer. I bought 'em myself right on the spot.—Judge Pilgrim Was Looking for Iron Springs, But That Story Was More Than He Could Stand. He was a weary, thin and sallow- looking American, who had never been so far west before, and when he struck Carson City he hailed the first native he met. "Can you tell me, sir, if there are any mineral springs about here?" "From the east?" asked the west- erner. "Yes." "Come here fer yer health?" "Yes." "Tried everything, I suppose?" "Yes." "Tried surphur springs?" "Yes, and everywhere else." "What kind of water are you looking for now?" "Well, no kind in particular. I was told, though, that I'd find a variety of springs out here." "Golng to locate?" "That depends." "Well, stranger I have got just what you want. A vacant lot in the best part of the city. Finest iron springs in the country. Go and see for yourself." "But how do you know it's iron?" queried the easterner. "Well, pardner, I drove my horse through it and he came out with iron shoes on his feet. And that ain't all. I drove some plgs down there to drink. They turned into plg iron, and I sold them to the iron foundry. Just what you want. For sale, cheap. Why, hallo! What's the matter?" The weary easterner had turned abruptly and was walking off up the road.-San Francisco Chronicle. Why England Belleves In a King. The great majority of Englishmen of all grades and opinions do undoubtedly believe in a king, and think they have some fairly good reasons for doing so. The great reason, of course, is that on the whole the system works, or seems to work, fairly well. It is very costly. Everything included, it probably costs ten times as much as the average man thinks; and if a rate were levied for the purpose on him, he might feel it and begin to grumble. But the money is derived from the duchies, or voted from the taxes, and nobody feels the pinch or even knows the difference. It is a rallying point for all kinds of senseless anachronisms and abuses. But in an old country many things have a better chance of continued existence by being old than by being good, and an abuse comes to be esteemed almost when its hairs are gray and its years many. It promotes snobbery and creates snobs, though it will not be supposed to be unpopular on that account—The Congregationalist. To Save Alcott Home. Efforts are being made to inaugurate a movement for the preservation of the old Alcott homestead in Concord, Mass., where Bronson Alcott lived and died and where Louisa Alcott created the immortal children that run through the pages of "Little Men" and "Little Women." The place at present is fast falling into hopeless decay and action must be started soon if it is to be preserved at all. "Perhaps if Miss Alcott had been dead two centuries instead of only about 30 years her former home would not be in such a dangerous plight as it is today," said a New York woman who is trying to interest others in its preservation. "But by and by Miss Alcott will have been dead 200 years and if Orchard house is not saved now American soil in future generations will be the poorer for our neglect. We never shall raise a harvest of ancient associations for our land unless we take care of the associations while they still are comparatively modern." A Different Sort of Doctor Dr. Charles Harriss, the well-known Canadian musician and composer, tells an amusing story about himself. While he was on his way to South Africa, he desired to keep his identity a secret. During the voyage one of the passengers managed to get into conversation with the musician, and asked him if he would medically examine his little girl who was with him on the boat. "My dear sir," replied Dr. Harriss, I have never examined a child in my life." Ten minutes later, he overheard the passenger say, in the smoking-room: "There you are; didn't I say that man was a fraud?" The Girl Grad. Mark Twain was a firm believer in the higher education of woman, but Hartford still remembers a speech he made one June to a platform of Hartford girl graduates. This speech, a humorous attack on the college girl, ended: "Go forth. Fall in love. Marry. Set up housekeeping. And then, when your husband wants a shirt ironed, send out for a gridiron to do it with" Metaphorically Speaking. "What do you think of these new palaces I have been rearing?" asked Mr. Dustin Stax. "Magnificent," replied the cynic. "Yet," he proceeded with a visible effort to be modest, "this earthly pomp reminds me that all the world is a stage." "Right. And the modern tendency is to make up with the fine scenery for bad acting." ON THE SKYSCRAPER STRENUOUS LIFE IS THAT OF THE IRONWORKER. Well Styled "Cowboys of the Skies," the Men Who Erect City's Tall Buildings Always Have the In the past they were a bolsterous, swashbuckling lot. They "floated from New Orleans to Vancouver, lived in freight cars, built bridges and dropped off of them with a grin and a choking "good-by." A hero among them was a man who had the longest fall to his credit, or who could toss a white-hot rivet the greatest distance. They lived hard and dled easily. Today they know that a man stands highest on the pay roll who takes his work and its danger most seriously, who also watches the man next to him—for in this calling one man's error often means another's life. Harper's Weekly says. Even so the bridgeworker of today has not lost his romantic side. He is still the cavallier of the workaday world. See him now, clinging like a fly to the top ring of that lofty derrick, or swaying in midair with one leg wound carelessly about a dangling cable, or standing upright alongside a dizzy column, hundreds of feet above the ground, with nothing more substantial under his clinging toe than an inch-wide bolt! The plumber laying pipes in the dark basement gets just as high a wage and his work is quite as important. But the ironworker gets the eyes of the crowd and knows it. "Cowboys of the skies" they have been styled, and aptly so. They have many characteristics in common with their brethren of the plains. They love a dare and a scampering race. Often they make and have them—when the boss is not watching. Just recently two skyscrapers in New York raced up side by side—a veritable Marathon of the skies!—and prodigies of daring and foolhardiness were done by the rival gangs facing each other across the intervening side-street. They stole each other's hats and wrenches as they sailed up atop the loads of iron, danced giddy hornpipes on the ends of projecting beams, tried to "best" each other taking chances amid the pandemonium of whip-snapping cables and swinging iron. They affect extravagances and peculiarities of dress. That athletic-looking fellow with the grimy face and hands appears on idle Sundays in white fannels and silk hose. The man beside him is a favorite at bridgemen's dances and has been known to wear and grace a frock-coat. They made no serious complaints over the new order of things—the rush of the work. "Sure," said one, "it's all right, only it's over nowadays before you get your second wind." Sald another: "This going up at a story a day interferes with me social life. On that 13th street building there was a hotel within arm's reach, and one day I got to talking with a pretty mald—through a window. Next day I had to talk down to her and next I had to yell to her, and in two days more I had to say good-by. "'Good-by' says she. 'Sorry to see you go;' but I'll introduce you to my friend Katie who works on the tenth floor.'" Be Cheerful. Engraved faces are more often the result of habit than the marks of Time, that professional etcher, who usually receives all the credit for feminine ugliness. Woman is not content with expressing herself in words; she must needs make little noses and funny faces to give completion to her ideas. If you wall about your lack of beauty, watch yourself for one short day. You will be surprised to find what. wonoderful things you will do with your own face. If countenances were not so substantially built they would sooner show the wear and tear imposed upon them. Wrinkles and lines are indexes to one's life book. The fretter has a signboard on her forehead and she advertises her profession of official worrier by growing box plaits between her eyes, by allowing her mouth to droop at the corners and by taking on the plaintive portrait of misery in which she really rejoices. But the optimist, the individual of good cheer and laughter, sails serenely along the high seas of existence (with a smooth, nicely ironed face, which makes her remain so young that she never really outgrows her happy days of mud pies and pinafores.—Woman's Life.

DOM DOM There are many colored families who are living in crowded houses on small plots of land in towns or cities who want real freedom and real opportunity for themselves and for their children. It is very difficult to rear children in a crowded town or city. The place to rear children is in the country. In Macon County, Alabama, the colored people have a rare and exceptional opportunity. This is the county in which The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is located. There is plenty of good land for sale on easy terms. There is a good schoolhouse, and the school term lasting from seven to eight months in every part of the county. The white people in Macon County are of the very best class. There is no disorder or racial trouble. We advise colored people who are now living in crowded towns or cities, in the North or in the South, and especially those who have children to raise to come to Macon County and buy a home where they can get plenty of land to cultivate and rear their families in the county free from the temptations of the cities and towns.

The resolution re- cites that in order to purify poli- tics it is necessary to take the right of suffrage away from the negro. Action on the resolution was postponed until to-morrow.” Granting, for the sake of argu- ment, and with some degree of truth, that the Republican party in these lafter days have not been as instant as fornterly for the preservation of the rights of their Toval black allies, those of the race .Who advocate a division on our vote, in order to punish the Re- publican party, can find little consolation in the above account of a resolution i the Democratic Legislature of Texas. If the lily- white Republicans of the South are not solicitous for our vote, or for our rights, under the constitu- tion, the Democratic party of the South offers no asylum, for the reason that it still insists, after a half century has passed since ree- ognition was given our rights that the right of suffrage should be denied us. If by any hook or crook the Democratic party should secure control of the National Congress. we may expect to see introduced and enacted into the law of the lnnd a resolution calling for the repeal of the 15th amendment to the Federal Constitution, and once more making serfs of our race. The white man, perhaps, can be an insurgent to the point where he will insurge clear out of his party, but_ with the Democratic party South (and the majority of that party is in’ the South)” de- manding “a repeal of the 15th amendment, the Negra cannot. nnd dare not, in the interest of self-preservation, insurge from the Republican party. ‘The Dem- oeratic: party is uialterably op: posed to Nearo suffrage. ° DIVIpE? Tt amuses The Bee when it sees in the daily press that the col- ofed agitators are urging a divi: sion of the colored vote. It is more amusing when it sees what x bombastic stand that is being assumed by the colored politt- cians. They claim to be politicians but are they? A. politician will tuke some.kind of ground, if not + for his own benefit, he will for those he wants to use. But doe: the colored politician take stand? He declares that he will nosupport any party; or, to be mdFe emphatic, he will not sup: port either the Republican ot Democratic party. ‘The Demo: cratic inanagers are looking on in disgust and say that these Negroes want to sell. “The Beessvants te inform these Democratic man. agers that these auctiopGers may . sell, but they can’t deliver. There are some pole in_ this country who say that they have a great deal of property and have the right to sell it. Well, when they go to deliver, this is where the rub is. Tt seems that the col- ored man is an eyesore to the Democratic party. If there was nothing in the colored American these “Democratic Legislatures would not attempt to legislate him out of existence. The Bee ad: vises the colored voter not to be deceived. There is nothing in the Democratic party Imt_ brutality and discrimination. The Demo- cratic party offers-nathing, but is doing everyting ty destroy the usefulness and the citizenship of colored Americans. These colored men who are for- ever agitating a division of the colored yote at this time are either insane or fools. There was a time when it was safe for col- ored men to divide. That time has pes The Democratic party has knocked down all the pins that the Republican party set up for the colored man, and what these in- sane Negroes are thinking of when they advise their people to forsake the party that gave them liberty, The Bee is unable to state. When the Democratic party ha: done something, or when. it .has been purged of its damnable ras: cality and demagogery, then the colored American can give it con: sideration, and not until then. What_has the colored man suf- fered South under Democratic rule? baa is it endeavoring to do now? If you want a second hell, go to Texas. The recent cowardly murder of innocent col- ored Americans in that State, is an evidence of what respect the Democratic party hag for the col- ored man, Divide the colored vote. and for what? THE INDEPENDENT MOVE \IENT There are some people in this country who imagine that. loud talking and imaginary figures make an orator. If you could have heard the address of Rev. I. N. Ross, of the Metropolitan Chureh. last Tuesday evening at True Re. formers’ Hall, when he declared that the colored people could not be fooled in supporting the How: ard Theater, the conclusion would have been that the would-be orator was lost for ‘something to say. Does Rev. Ross mean to: infer that Mr. W. H. Smith, the man. ager of the Howard Theater, is not a colored man? Does he want the owners of the Howard to ap: point aman as black as he (Rev Ross) is to satisfy his vanity’ Mr. Smith, the manager, is a gen- tleman and an up-to-date business man. The great trouble with some black colored men, as well as some half-white colored men, is they continue to make faces at one another. What has the independ. ence of the colored man in polite got to do with the Howard Thea- ter and its manager? If Rev.

If the one hundred thousand Negroes of this city fail to give the Howard a paying patronage. depend upon it ‘that conditions in this country. espe- cially with reference to” amuse- ment accommodations, will not improve, but on the contrary, will grow decidedly worse. If the Negro patronizes the Howard as he should, and as the house and its promoters desérve, The Bee confidently believes that condi- ‘tions will improve, in sq, far as amusement accommodations are concerned, throughout the coun- try. The white theaters of this city, those who insist on shoving the Negro attendants up in the peanut gallery. predicted, and now predict. that the Howard will be a failure. If it, is, the loss financially to its builders will be infinitesimal to the loss the race will suffer here and throughout the country. We urge, and urge with all the vigor at our command, that the race patronize the Howard, and patronize it well. for all eyes are upon us. : OUR SCHOOLS. The Bee will be glad when the teachers in the colored public schools will feel safe and free to act as the teachers in the white schools. .The Bee ventures the assertion that the superintendents of the white schools don’t continue to nag, browbeat and find fault with their teachers and overlook meritorious teachers. The Bee has evere confidence in the members of the Board of Education to the extent that they will remedy any wrong that has been inflicted upon worthy and deserving teachers in our schools. For almost a quar- ter of a century the colored schools ran smoothly under the superintendency of Mr. George F. T.. Cook. Not/an ioto of scandal was ever attached to his garments. Tlis successor, Prof. Montgomery, had the confidence and respect of his teachers, and to-day he stands prominent in their estimation. The Bee sees no reason why our teachers should work undgr such a strain, fear and intimidation. If the Board of Education want= to see good results in our schools. place a man at their head in whom the people and the teachers have confidence. The colored teachers have faith ahd confidence in Mr. Stuart and believe that — the Board of Education is being im- pesed upon.

The Bee has never been confised on polities or men. The Tribune was born in an age of confusion, and confused has been the brain of the editor of that paper.

What the Leading Newspapers Had to Say On It. | Perhaps the best way to bring the |American people to a proper sepse of ‘the enormity of such mob outbreaks as recently ocurred near Palestine, Texas, suggests the Rochester Demo- crat and Chronicle, would be {or the Powers of Europe to “unite in bn em- phatic protest to Washington dgainst the lynchings, burnmgs, and_massa- eres of mnocent people which are taking place in some parts of this country.” Although the press dis- patches telling of this particular out- break are very meager and conflicting as to details, it seems that at least a score of Negroes have been killed by a band of armed whites. While the carlicr accounts told of a pitched bat= tle between the two races, with many casualties on both sides, according to later accounts furnished by the As- sociated Press, it was not race war, but “just murder.” To quote from the news columns of the New York ‘Sun: “The‘slaughter of the Negroes was not the result of any face war, al- though the feeling which the whole- sale killing engendered threatened for a time to cause an uprising on the part of the Negroes of the two comi- munities. “Mobs of white men started out carly’ Friday night and rode from cabin to cabin calling out the Negroes tho had been marked for the slaugh- ter and shot them down in. their tracks. This work continued all Fri- day night, and with the dawning of a new day the lust of the mobs for blood seemed to increase. “Negroes were shot and killed upon the highways and in the fields where they were working, despite the pray- ers they made that their lives be spared, “While twenty dead bodies of vic- tims Rave been found scattered along the roads and over the country, it may never be definitely known how many more Negroes were murdered in out-of-the-way places where their bodies may never be found. “So far as learned the Negroes who were killed offered no resistance to the mob. “The wholesale slaughter of Ne- groes was brought about by the re- port that reached the cars of white men of the Slocum community that secret meetings of the blacks had been held at which plans were formulated for burning the barns and residences of certain wlute citizens.” er According to other stories, the trouble originated in a quarrel be- tween a white man and a Negro who failed to pay a note indorsed by the former. : ‘The Texas authorities are given full credit for taking prompt measures to suppress the outbreak, and to find and punish the guilty whites. Sheriff Black, of Anderson County, where the slaughter occurred, is reported as mak- ing this statement? “I found he greatest excitement. Men were killing Negroes as fast as they could find them, and so far as I have been able to ascertain without any real cause. These Negroes have never done anything that I could dis- cover. There was just a hot-headed gang hunting them down and killing them, “We found cleven dead bodies,” but from what [ have Heard the dead must number fifteen or twenty. Wo came across four bodies in one house on a marsh between Denson Springs and Slocum. * * * one . “One Negro had becn killed at this house the night before, and three were sitting up with the remains, one of them being old and white-haired. These three were killed right where they were. So far as I can learn the Negroes were not armed. “I sent two deputies out through that cauntry to collect all the arms they could lind in the houses of Ne- groes. They made a thorough search, but found only nine single-barreled shotguns, none of which seemed to have been fired ately, and about thurty sltells, all toaded with small shot. * *%¢ “We found two negroes in the road that had been shot about 10 o'clock the night before last. Tt was evident rthat at the time they were killed they were trying to get out of the country, for they had their bundles of clothes with them.” This story is indeed “a pitifl one,” says the New Orleans Times-Demo- crat, “and puts the slaughter {n a very bad light,” and it adds: “White supremacy is in danger no- where in Texas, sq far as we have been informed, and at ‘this distance we know of no other cause adequate to condone the horrible slaughter which is reported." Other Southern papers speak_as strongly, the Richmond Times-Dis- patch’ characterizing this “brutal butchery of innocents” as a “reproach to the State and an offense to human- ity." And in Texas the Houston Chronicle cries out against such “in- discriminate butchery of Negroes be- cause of some crime committed by an individual member of the race.” ‘fe wild poste Saten to fad a ted Sioux warriors on white men.” ‘The Memphis Commercial Appeal, while regretting such an outbreak in the South, advises Eastern people to “remember their own troubles, and not be too severe in the condemna- tion of the Texas tragedy.” The New York World wonders “what account of the trouble would come out of Palestine if the surviving black men could write the press dis- patches,” and The Globe takes it upon itself to deliver the following lecture to the people of the South: 3-~BEE “How long are right-minded and civilized citizens of the Southern States going to permit this sort of business to go on? They can stop it when they genuinely wish so to do. They can stop it by apprehending and hanging a few of the murderers. They can stop it by frowning on the insensate negrophobia that they have hitherto tolerated if not' encouraged. Such things. can not be allowed with- out in the end bringing punishment in their train. The Negroes ulti- mately will be driven to try and de- fend themselves, and they. number 10,- 000,000. The black race has been re- markably docile under the wrongs which it has suffered, but it is stot safe to push them beyond endurance. The worst enemy of the South is the pro- fessional Negro-hater who indiscrimi- nately assails a race for the misdeeds of a few of its members. Such events as have occurred in Texas are the natural result of th feeling he fos- ters, and it will take generations to obliterate the memory of them.” “Cruel is the irony and deep is the disgrace of the Palestine outbreak on Christian and democratic America,” declares the New York Age (colored); “every American who has a care for his native land should consider the remedy for this constant reversal to barbarism.” ‘The one consolation of the outraged race, according to this Negro editor, is that while “the Ne- gro will not become discouraged and will continue his, progress, Southern whites are cach day becoming more lazy, more licentious, more criminal, and farther behind and comparatively few in numbers.” SHALL OKLAHOMA JOIN THE SOLID SOUTH? ee see mee ee eee “The Grandfather Clause,” to the Con- stitution, Oklahoma has justified the hopes.of its enemies. It has proven that in its makeup and intentions it 1s a Southern instead of a Western State; and the ambition of the present administration seems to be to line it up- with the Bourbon Democracy. The adoption of the Grandfather Clase 1s a step backward. It is a thrust at all efforts the Negro has made these forty-five years to make a man of himself, to rise in the.scale of civilization, and to develop the best within him. . It is up to us to fight this measure to the last ditch, at whatever cost to us. Therefore we should understand the import of this meeting. It seems that the fair proposition would have been to disfranchise the fellow who had a grandfather who could read and write, and whose son could not, and place a premium upon the fellow whose father could not read and write, and whose son had overcome these conditions. The Grandfather Clause 1s a na- tional issue, from the fact that should the law stand the test in Oklahoma, other Southern States will adopt the same law: ahd from this source the Negro will lose a very large per cent of his voting strength—the power which has kept him safe in the affairs of the country. Taking the attitude of the admunis- tration seriously, Mr. Taft. said, in outlining his policy toward the South, that he would appoint no Negroes to important offices “in communities where a large body of the whites ob- jected. He stated that this was in pur- suance of what he believed to be the best policy for the preservation of friendly relations between the races. Growing out of this policy, he declm. ed to appoin Dr. Crum to be collector of the port of Charleston, S.C. Upon this policy, he recently appointed Henry S, Jackson, a white man, col- lector of Internal Revenue in Geor- sia, in place of H. A. Rucker, a Ne- gro, who had already held the office. The South regards this step as a friendly act from the administration, tending to remove what they term “The Black Peril.” The Republican party in Texas has just announced that it is now a body for white men, and that only white men shall hold office in the organiza- tion. As a result, the Negroes of the State of Texas are organizing with a Proposition to join with the Demo- crats. Under the Grandfather Clause. the Negro stands no chance as against such a test. He may be highly edu- cated; but since the election boards are made up of-white men, he is in- variably disqualified, the ignorant whites apparently mect the require- ments, Se The St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press of Saturday, August 13, in an edito- rial, had this to say: “There is a question if Oklahomays Grandfather Clause would stand the test of the courts. - The,real purpose of it is so imperfectly hidden that it is almost certain a court of review would hold it 2 nullity; but the trou- ble is to get it before such a court. The Negroes of the State apparently lack the means or the spirit necessary toa prolonged legal fight.” The above clipping is significant from the fact that it calls our atten- tion to a condition. In spite of what others may do in our favor and for us. we are expected to show to the world that we are awake to our interest, and for that reason. if for no other, this convention at Boley, Thursday,” Sep- tember 8, has been called, that every citizen of Negro descent say: -have a voice and a vote in his own behalf. We Are Boosters, Not Knockers. This meeting is in no way antago- nistic to the efforts of others at Guthrie and elsewhere which have been put ferth to reach the same te- sults: but we must bear im mind the fact thet there are forty, thon-and So- cialist voters who gave us their sup- port, to say nothing of the many oth- ets of various faith and denominations who may or may not be Repubiivans. 2—BEE Some of them do not vote with any party. Without any party affiliations theré were a large number of people in the State who voted with us, and against the Grandfather Clause, for the reason that they were good citi- zens and believed that it is only right that we should have our rights as American citizens, to vote and have that vote counted as any other citizen, _ Our reason for calling the meeting at Boley is that this is an exclusively ‘Negro town, and a place where we could have all the protection desired, jin that we could talk and act freely. without having those on the outside to know what we were, doing and saying. We believe that it is only fair that all our big conventions should be held in our own Negro towns. To-do this bespeaks harmony in purpose, and is the very evidence of our sincerity. We are sure the good people of Boley will make ample preparation to enter- tain the visiting delegates, and that every effort will be exerted by those interested in this movement to make this a big meeting, |The representation by counties will ‘be upon a basis of one delegate for ‘every three hundred of Negro popula- tion, which will be as follows SABORE ccccccrcrervcccossesesosees & BBIGIGE,scccsssccccerccesarceemnee, & Btyan sscsciscssccassesesccccccss, (6 Calle occ.

Each county is entitled to a staff of officers usual in such organizations, such as, president, secretary, treasurer. and executive committee, who are supposed to have authority to direct the affairs of their-counties. After the convention the organization will send literature out from time to time, keeping.the citizens of the State post= ed as their case develops. It is the purpose of this organiza- tion to place every Negro in the State in immediate touch with every other ‘one in so far as the intentions of the organization are concerned. In order to accomplish results it is necessary to do this, and it is expccted that the officers’ of each county organization Keep as near a complete Jist of the Negro voters in their’ counties as pos- sible, so that in case it should be necessary to reach them. time will be saved by having this information at hand at all times.

FRENCH ISLAND NEGROES BEST CANAL WORKERS, ‘eaitt and Martinique Blacks Excell all Others With Pick and Shovel. |. French Negroes from Haiti and Martinique excel all other classes of laborers in pick-and-shovel work on the Panama Canal. That is shown in iS report to the War Department giv- ing the results of recent practical tests of the valye of the various classes of laborers employed in exca- lvating rock and earth for the channel through the “Gatun lake region. The work was done on the “task” system— that is, the laborers were paid accord- ing to the amount of material they ex- eavated. ‘ All kinds of laborers were employed. White Spaniards and Italians recrut- ed in Colon were taken to Bohio. Ac- cording to the report they were will- ing and intelligent, but weak and slow, and were abl¢é to earn just about enough from daybreak to sunset to Keep them alive. Native Panamans, men of tha class that excelled on the felearing recently completed by con- tract, did not find the work of digging profitable. Negroes from the British West In- dies worked in teams, and, the report says, did well enough, but they could Jeara'very litle more than the fo cents gold an hour that the commission pays on regular work. The French Ne- groes from Hlaity and Martinique did better than any of the others. They also. worked in teams, some loading while others dumped the cars. They made $1.50 gold a day in six hours of actual work day after day. ‘The report ays that they are well nourished, work as-rapidly as the English Negro, and keep up their speed all day. "They are also reliable.” says the report, “returning to work very day and keeping’ at-it regardless of rain.” The Negroes of Nashville, Tenn, are seriously thinking of leaving the Grand OldsParty. They declare that singe the Republicans have put_ Mr. Napier, the only colored man, off the State committee, they consider this an outrage. They are tired of broken promises. Dr. Patterson and a party of friends in the South were ejected from 2 Pullman car at Earle, Ark., although they had Pullman tickets. They were chiected to on account of their color.

GRIFFIN, Treas It Was the Prize Package Given With Mexican Palace That H. Clay Pierce Bought. H. Clay Pierce, St. Louis oil magnate, is now the owner of the Borda Gardens at Ceurnavaca, Mexico, and may be said to be the custodian of the ghost of the Borda Gardens. Nothing was said about it when Mr. Pierce paid $15,000 for the historic spot which was the favorite summer haunt of Emperor Maximilian and Queen Carlotta in the days of Mexico's splendor as an empire. But it is to be supposed that the ghost, having occupied the gardens without leave these many years, will continue to do so, and an occasional glimpse of the ghostly intruder may be vouchsafed to the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce after Mr. Pierce has spent $100,000 in restoring the gardens and they are ready to entertain their friends there. Mrs. Pierce, who will be the mistress of the mansion of the mad empress, is an Edwardsville (Ill.) woman, the daughter of Maj. William M. Russell Pickett. Before her marriage to Mr. Pierce she was Mrs. Virginia Pickett Burrowes. The mansion, in recent years, has divided into several suites and has been let to tenants. These say that they often see the ghost. Whose ghost is it, and why it haunts the Borda Gardens nobody pretends to know, but it is the belief of the locality that the ghostly appearances have some relation to buried treasure and a dark crime of the long ago.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. How Hay Wrote "Little Breeches." On the train, as I journeyed to New York, I entertained myself by writing "Little Breeches." The thing was done merely for my own amusement, without the smallest thought of print. But when I showed it to Whitelaw Reld he selzed the manuscript and published it in the Tribune. By that time the lilt and swing of the Pike county ballad had taken possession of me. I was filled with the Pike county spirit, as it were, and the humorous side of my mind was entertained by its rich possibilities. Within a week after the appearance of "Little Breeches" in print all the Pike county ballads were written. After that the impulse was completely gone from me. . . . There were no more Pike county ballads in me and there never have been any since. Let me tell you a queer thing about that. From the hour when the last of the ballads was written until now I have never been able to feel that they were mine, that my mind had anything to do with their creation or that they bore any trace of kinship to my thought or my intellectual impulses. They seem utterly foreign to me—as foreign as if I had first encountered them in print as the work of somebody else. It is a strange feeling—Letter from John Hay to G. C. Eggleston, quoted in "Recollections of a Varied Life." Good Time to Turn Farmer. In theory there never was a better time than right now for a sensible man to move from city to country. The movement has been away from the farm until prices of all kinds of food and fiber are high. There is nothing in sight to indicate that prices will be greatly reduced by increased production. A crop well grown and handled with good business judgment will be reasonably sure of sale at a fair price. There never was a time when it was so easy to learn new methods and the principles of scientific farming. A man starting now may receive at once the benefit of 30 years of the experience and study of good farmers and scientific experts. For example millions of acres of land in the eastern states are almost nonproductive and thrown on the market at a low figure, simply because they are waterlogged and sour. When these farms are drained and limed they become at once productive and double in value for farm purposes. They are naturally strong and drainage and lime make their strength available.—H. _W. Collingwood, in Metropolitan Magazine. The Last Stage. Mrs. De Fashion—My dear, late hours, late suppers and general social dissipation have ruined your constitution.' Miss De Fashion (belle of six seasons)—I know it, ma. "And you are losing your beauty." "It's all gone, ma." "It really is. And so is your plumpness." "I'm nothing but skin and bones." "There's no denying it, my dear, you are a mere wreck of your former self." "Too true." "What are you going to do about it?" "Get married."—New York Weekly. Nothing Subdued About Her. Fuddy—Do you believe that people acquire mental qualities from what they eat? Duddy—Hardly think so. My wife's mother eats crushed oats, mashed potatoes and whipped cream, and yet she's very pugnacious. Looking Up Father. "May I see my father's record?" asked the new student. "He was in the class of 1877." "Certainly, my boy. What for?" "He told me when I left home not to disgrace him, slr, and I wish to see just how far I can go." WHY THE OX WAS MUZZLED Old Welsh Plowman Took Timely Precaution to Save the Tall of the Leader. The oxen were harnessed tandem fashion; stocky little Welshmen they were from the western hills, usurpers there, for the true Sussex ox is red. They eyed me with an expression of plaintive inquiry, and I noticed that the rear one's moist black nose was guarded by a string muzzle, through which he snorted at me in a manner hardly inviting confidence. The old plowman smiled indulgently while I admired them. "Why do you muzzle the rear one?" I inquired. "Look at the t'other's tall an' ye'll see," he chuckled. And certainly the leader's tall was not so bushy as it should be. "There aren't many oxen used now for farm work?" I asked. He shook his head. "Only a few, just here an' there, mayhap," he answered; "horses an' stem plows 'a' done away with 'em. 'Sides, there ain't many smiths left now as can shoe an ox. Rare fun it is, I tell ye, stickin' the kews on 'em, throw 'em we have to tie up their legs an' hold their necks down wi' a pitchfork. Ha! ha! rare fun it is, lad." I looked at the wide-spreading pointed horns, and thought of the usual run of village smithles. "I shouldn't imagine any smith would be anxious to learn the art." I remarked. The old man agreed with me. He had the rosy, childish unwrinkled face of the countryman, his eyes were gray-green, the color of the Channel sea below the edge of the Down; his grizzled head shook as he cut into his bread with the pointed blade of a big pocketknife. "No, things ain't as they were," he said slowly—Manchester Guardian. SWAM TO SHORE IN BASKET Desiring to Join His Sweetheart, a Sailor Rlisks Life In Jumping From Ship. Love for an old sweetheart and desire to save her from a marriage arranged by her parents impelled Makinzono Inousko of Seattle, Wash., a sailor on the steamer Inaba Maru, to risk his life in a daring attempt to escape from the vessel. Waiting until the dark hours of the night Makinzono picked up a bamboo basket, and, holding it over his head, leaped from the steamer. Both guards and ship's officers heard the splash and rushed to the spot. Electric flash lamps and the ship's searchlight shot their rays over the waters, but all that was discernible was a bamboo basket bobbing around in the bay. Apparently without any guidance the basket floated around the end of the grain elevator and disappeared. In the morning Makinzono was missed, and investigation developed the manner of his escape. Sent among the passengers with a message from one of the ship's officers, Makinzono recognized the girl as an old sweetheart. It was then he carried out his plan of escape. The girl is held at the detention station.—New York Herald. Murdered for a Cent A quarrel over a single penny led to a murder in Hoboken the other day. A man from Nebraska, who stopped at a hotel in Hoboken while awaiting the sailing of the steamer for Europe, put a penny in the slot of an automatic music box in the dining-room of the hotel, but the box refused to pour forth the expected ragtime tune. The Nebraskan became indignant and upbraided the German porter. The latter explained to him that it required a nickel and not a penny to set the mechanism of the music-box in motion, but that explanation did not satisfy the man from Nebraska. He became abusive and when the porter threatened to put him out; he pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot the porter dead. Man an Aquatic Animal. Every moderately well-educated person knows that life originated in the water, but not so many are aware that we are still aquatic animals. Every cell except those of the outside skin is dependent upon a surrounding liquid to keep it alive, and if it became dry it would perish. A person who realizes this fact will always take care to drink plenty of water, and will also eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, since these contain large quantities of water, and that in a purer form than is usually available. The pickanianny shows his good sense when he feasts upon the juicy watermelon, and instead of ridiculing him we might better go and do likewise. Why He Sought Pardon. Roquelaure, the deformed jester of Louis XIV, contrived to get out of many a scrape by his ready wit. One day he went to the king to ask his pardon for having struck off the helmet of one of his sentinels, who had failed to give him the military salute. Louis, who knew his man, wondered that Roquelaure should crave his pardon for so venial an offense, and sald to him: "This is a serious matter. Roquelaure, but I will pardon you this time."

LAMB ONCE A JOURNALIST In connection with Lord Glenesk's recently published history of that old established London journal, the Morning Post, it is interesting to recall the fact that at one time Charles Lamb was on its staff of contributors. This gentle essayist wrote largely for a column headed "Fashionable Intelligence;" in those day, as Lamb says, "every morning paper, as an essential retainer to its establishment, kept an author who was bound to furnish daily a quantum of witted paragraphs." It was in this capacity that Lamb was engaged on the Post; furthermore his contract stipulated that in "the chat of the day, scandal, but above all, dress" he should supply six paragraphs a day, not one of which was to exceed seven lines in length, and the payment for which was to be 12 cents each. In his essay "Newspapers Thirty-Five Years Ago," Lamb seems to have been rather pleased with the "sticks" of chat he contributed to the press; we now find that "Dan Stuart," his editor, entertained a different opinion as to their value. "As for good Charles Lamb," he said, "I never could make anything of his writings. Of politics he knew nothing; they were out of his line of reading and thought, and his drollery was vapid when given in short paragraphs fit for a newspaper." HOW SHE GOT RID OF THEM Discouraged Visits From Her Niece's Children by Teaching Them Verses From the Bible. "What has become of those two children who visited you so often?" asked one West side woman of another. The other smiled discreetly. "They are the children of my niece, and she was making a convenience of me. Of course I love the children, but I never allow myself to become much of a victim of imposition. My niece is an extremely gay young widow, and she does not like to take care of her children. She is fond of shopping, matinees, afternoon teas and everything, in short, which takes her away from home, and she got into a habit of sending her children over to my house for me to take care of whenever she wished to gad about. I decided it was time to break up the habit, for her own good and that of the children, as well as mine, so I did." "I suppose that made your niece angry?" "Oh, no; it couldn't. I never said anything about it. The last time the children came over I spent the afternoon teaching them verses from the Bible, and they didn't find it sufficiently entertaining. They never came back. Just how they managed to work it out with their mother I do not know, but I suppose they struck or begged off. Of course, she could not object to what I had done, and it proved a very simple solution." The Boaz. President McCrea of the Pennsylvania railroad, in his study of all classes of men who are under him, entertains a great admiration for the Irish foreman of a gang of laborers who went to any lengths to show his men that he was the real boss. One morning this foreman found that his gang had put a hand car on the track without his orders. "Who put that him' car-r-r on the thrack?" he asked. "We did, sor," one of the men answered respectfully. "Well," he said shortly, "take it off ag'ln!" The laborers did so with some difficulty. "Now," said the foreman, "put it on ag'ln!"—Popular Magazine. Knew She Was Right. An auction was announced of the library and household effects of a man who had once entertained in a lavish way, and among the persons who went to the sale were many who had enjoyed the fallen family's hospitality. When a set of after-dinner cups was put up one woman said: "There are only five of those, not six." The auctioneer consulted his catalogue and replied: "Thank you; you are right" and proceeded with the sale. Then the woman whispered to the one next to her: "I knew I was right, because my husband dropped one of that set the last time we dined there." Couldn't Come Back Enoch Arden crept softly up to the window and peered in. The former Mrs. Arden sat talking sternly to Enoch's successor. "Do as you like," she was saying. "But remember this, it's just as I told Enoch when he got to thinking he was boss of the house: You may go away, but you can't come back." Fortunately Mr. Tennyson learned of the incident before the eminent literati of the prize ring got to it. Senaltive. "Miss Passay is furious with that society reporter."

Why do some women grow old and others keep the secret of perpetual youth? Here is one answer: One reason why the average woman wears out, grows plain before her husband, is that, through a mistaken idea of duty, she lays out for herself at the beginning of her married life a scheme or plan of duty and employment for her time, every hour filled with work, with rare and short periods of relaxation. This she follows religiously for years, feeling that she has done her duty, because every household event occurs regularly and on time, while she soon becomes merely a machine, a thing without life of itself or volition. She settles into a rut, and goes round and round on the same track everlastingly. Can any woman keep brightness, originality of thought or speech, or even mere prettiness with such a life? And without those things how can she keep her husband and growing children full of loving admiration, which is the strong chain by which she can bind them to her? How bright and jolly the neighbor's wife seems when she calls. In nine cases out of ten it is because the surroundings and talk of your home are variety to her, and rouse her to originality and brightness of speech. Cultivate a broad attitude toward the world and its people. Let your interests be far-reaching, and there will be renewed vigor when it comes to solve the problems of the home. WANTED PAY FOR HIS WORK British West Indian Who Wanted Recompense for Building His Own An English naval officer tells of being on a war vessel which took provisions to St. Kitt's, one of the British West India islands. A hurricane had left many of the inhabitants in a destitute or even starving condition. Hungry crowds gathered at the wharf, but refused to help, unload the food that was to be given to them unless paid for their work. A similar story sheds light on the Jamalcan negro. Five or six years ago a hurricane devastated the island, and a large relief sum was raised, much of it in England and the United States. The committee having charge of this fund sent a wagon load of lumber to a husky black man whose house had been scattered over the parish. He and his family were living in a rude shack, made out of odds and ends. "What's that fur?" he asked of the men who were unloading the material in front of his patch of ground. "That's for your new house," was the reply. "It's from the relief fund and won't cost you anything." "Who's goin' to build mah house?" "You are, if anybody does." "Who's goin' to pay me fur mah work?" Drops Pick as Wife Gets Rich. Michael Flannagan threw down his pick when he got word his wife had fallen heir to $50,000 left by her uncle, John Hogan, a Brooklyn saloonkeeper. Flannagan has been one of the jolly, deqil-may-care workers employed in building a road on Franklin Murphy's large estate, which is being fashioned out of the wilderness near here. "I'm sorry to leave you, boys," said Flannagan when a lawyer's clerk from Morristown brought the news, "but I'm suddenly elevated to the Rocko-feller and Carnegie class, and so I must be off." Michael, notwithstanding he had money in his pocket, walked a mile in the hot sun to the railroad station rather than pay a nickel on the trolley. "If any part of that $50,000 gets away from me foolishly it will be when I'm asleep and can't hold on to its wing," remarked Flanagan departing. Eating Between Meals. Not much is said about this bad habit nowadays, but is is still a bad habit. Do not let children eat chocolates, biscuits or sweetmeats at odd times, whenever the whim seizes them. This practise leads to many troublesome little ailments connected with the digestion. Nibbling at crackers and sucking sour balls or taffy are perhaps the most common forms of "eating all the time" and should be checked as soon as the habit is noticed. A little pure candy may be given for dessert at a meal, or at night before the teeth are washed, but it should not be given more than once a day. A Misunderstanding.

W.SidneyPittman Architect MAN'S RESPECT FOR ANIMALS We Must Recognize That We Are Overseers of Other Forms of Life on Earth. If we have any belief at all in a difference of moral faculty between ourselves and the animals we must recognize that we are, so far as our powers over nature will permit, overseers of other forms of life upon the earth, not merely for our own advantage but for the good of the universe. We cannot deny that the struggle for life exists and that we must take part in it and do our best to destroy those forms of life which are hostile to ourselves. We cannot go so far in respect for life as to found a society for the prevention of cruelty to bacillii. But at the same time our respect for life is a sign of our triumph, however imperfect, over, the struggle for life; and the greater this respect becomes the more we are men conscious of the promise and significance of all life and the less we are beasts involved in the blind waste of nature. Very slowly and imperfectly this sense of the promise and significance of all life grows in us. It is not only an intellectual, but rather a religious and emotional idea. It appears first in men like St. Francis with a prophetic sense of a nobler state of being. From them it is communicated by the beauty of their example rather than by argument, to other men; and perhaps when it has become a matter of course in all civilized human beings we shall find that it is of practical value and it will attain to a scientific justification. Teaching Correct Speech. A woman of culture and travel has made a glorious success teaching correct speech. It is surprising how much incorrect speech there is among our educated people. They cling to provincialisms, incorrect pronunciations, wrong use of words, and unmusical intonations. The southerner holds to the soft, rless utterance of his "mammy" days; the middle westerner flattens his vowels; the Bostonian throws his r's completely out of joint. This woman undertook to correct such errors and teach a pure, perfect English speech to a few young women. She became so successful that she was compelled to start a school of correct English which has grown to great proportions. This particularly promising field is open in every town in America.—The Delineator. Limited Vision: There was a man once—a poet. He went wandering through the streets of the city, and he met a disciple. "Come out with me," said the poet, "for a walk in the sand dunes." And they went. But ere they had progressed many stages, said the disciple. "There is nothing here but sand." "To what did I invite you?" asked the poet. "To walk in the sand dunes." "Then do not complain," said the poet. "Yet even so your words are untrue. There is heaven above. Do you not see it? The fault is not heaven's; nor the sand's."—Maarten Maartens. World's Oldest Tree The recent rose show given in Paris by the French Horticultural society recalled the fact that the oldest rose tree in the world is believed to be one which grows on a wall of the cathedral at Hildesheim, Germany. Eleventh-century records make mention of expenses incurred by caretakers of the cathedral in maintaining this tree, which covers the wall to a height of twenty-five feet and is twenty inches thick at the root. Hla Opportunity: "You never saw a man more delighted than Flutterby is!" "What's the cause?" "He's going to get a public hearing for his poems at last." "In print?" "Not exactly. He's been sued for breach of promise, and all his poems are to be read in open court." THEY KNEW THAT BAD ROAD Mark Twain Tells How Three Natives Dodged Task of Hauling Stage Through Mud. Mark Twain was a firm believer in the national movement for good roads, and had many a tale to tell about the incredibly bad roads of some sections. A Hartford man recalled the other day this experience of the famous humorist's: "I once had 30 miles"—so Mark Twain began—"to go by stage in Mississippi. The roads were terrible, for it was early spring. The passengers consisted of five men and three women—three large, well-developed women, swathed in shawls and vells, who kept to themselves, talking in low tones on the rear seat. Well, we hadn't gone a mile before the stage got stuck two feet deep in the black mud. Down jumped every man of us, and for ten minutes we tugged and jerked and pulled till we got the stage out of the hole. We had hardly got our breath back when the stage stuck again, and again we had to strain our hearts out to release her. In covering 15 miles we got stuck eight times, and in going the whole 30 we lifted that old stage out of the mud 17 times by actual count. We five male passengers were wet, tired and filthy when we reached our destination, and so you can imagine our feeling when we saw the three women passengers remove, as they dismounted, their vells, their shawls and their skirts, and, lo and behold! they were three big, hearty, robust men. As we stared at them with bulging and ferocious eyes, one of them said: "Thanks for your labor, gents. We knowed this road and prepared for it. Will you licker?" DOG KEEPS PEACE IN FAMILY Lucky Cur Whose Appetite Is Pampered to Prove Innocence of His Master. My most interesting patient is a bull-dog owned by a man down on Ninety-seventh street," said a veterarian. "Every afternoon, between four and five o'clock, the dog and his master take a walk. Just before they go home they stop in here and I give the dog an appetizer. "He is such a healthy looking beast that it seems wicked to waste drugs on him, but it is only by keeping him toned up so he will eat them out of house and home that the man can allay his wife's suspicions. Formerly the daily wanderings of the pair were not quite as innocent as they are now. They had a habit of stopping at a saloon where the dog's prtion of their refreshment was a sausage. "That took the edge off the dog's appetite. Owing to domestic restrictions the man does not stop at the saloon any more, but if the dog is slightly off his feed no arguments will convince the wife of the couple's innocence "The funny part of the thing is that the woman used to hate the dog, and before her animus toward beer reached a head she nearly starved him to death. These are happy days for him, when he has to eat his head off to keep peace in the family." The Perfect Foot. A woman's foot, when perfect, is hollowed out well, both inside and out, with a high instep, short heel and long, straight toes, slightly spatulate at the ends. This is the type of the most beautiful foot. It is, on the whole, a foot not frequently seen in its perfection, for often one or the other element of beauty is wanting. The rarest point of beauty is the hollowing of the outside of the foot. If anyone would convince himself that the hollow of the outside of the foot is rare, let him watch the prints that seaside bathers leave when they step on a dry plank or walk. Most of such footprints show a greater or smaller hollow on the inside of the foot, but nearly every one shows a straight wet mark on the outside, says Woman's Life. That water should flow under the arch of the foot without wetting it is an old and good rule where feet are concerned. Small Homes Green things growing indoors are the most successful antidotes to winter ever devised. Thousands who cannot have a conservatory change the whole temper of a home by a few plants. There are many varieties of palm today, both hardy and decorative, and of ferns. Of the many blossoming plants which do well indoors, the place of highest honor, considering what it has done for humanity in the mass, must remain with the humble geranium. A single pot in a hall bedroom often helps a young man or woman through a lonely winter. Many of the newer plants do not require direct sunlight in order to thrive. These points are childishly elementary, but obviousness and human importance often lie very near together.—Collier's. Letting the Cat Out of the Bag. The saying "let the cat out of the bag" probably had its origin in the trick of substituting a cat for a young pig in the days when it, was customary for the country folks in England, to take pigs to market in bags. These bags, in old phraseology, were called "pokes." If anyone was foolish enough to buy an animal without looking at it, he was said to have bought "a pig in a poke," but if he opened the bag the cat would jump out and the trick was exposed. HIS ELOQUENCE WAS USELESS Colonel Morgan's Futile Attempt to Persuade Cleveland to Grant Pardon to a Murderer. Col. Franklin Pierce Morgan of Washington and New York never made but one great speech, and the story of it is pathetic. His audience was Grover Cleveland, then president of the United States, and his purpose was to secure a pardon for a murderer named O'Neill, in whom the colonel had become interested. "I'll never forget that day," said the colonel in telling about the incident. "I had told Dan Lamont the day before that I intended to ask Cleveland to pardon O'Neill, who was a creature of the dark places at times, but a pretty good fellow at that. Cleveland had taken the precaution to send to the department of justice and get the papers in the case. I got up early the next morning, had a massage and was feeling tip-top. I got in to see Cleveland and I spoke 20 minutes. Never in my life, before or since, have I been as eloquent as I was pleading for that fellow O'Neill. The end of every sentence I uttered brushed the edges off a cloud. I concluded my argument, confident that I had swept the president off his feet. 'Mr. Morgan,' he said, 'is that all you have to say on behalf of your friend?' Mind you, he said 'friend.' 'Yes, Mr. President,' said I; 'I think that's all.' 'Mr. Morgan,' he replied, 'never as long as I am in the White House shall that consummate scoundrel—consummate scoundrel, mark you—get out of the penitentiary.' "What's the use of eloquence, anyhow?" concluded the colonel. OLDEST LIVING CREATURES Giant Tortolse Brought to London From Mauritius Probably Entitled to That Honor. What species of animal lives to the greatest age is a question that has not been satisfactorily answered, but it is contended that a giant tortolse brought to the London zoological gardens from Mauritius about ten years ago is probably the oldest living creature whose age is positively known. This tortolse, which weighs a quarter of a ton, has lived at least one hundred and sixty years, as historic documents prove. It is said that one hundred years is a good old age for an elephant and that no other animal except certain birds and reptiles and the whale reach this span of years. In 1821 there died at Peterborough, in England, a tortoise whose age was said to be two hundred and twenty years. One instance, at least, is known of a tortoise which was still growing when eighty years old. Tragedy In Prison Cell. Some time ago a whole family was murdered at Potchep, in southwest Russia. Two men named Gluster and Shnakhn were charged with the crime, and although protesting their innocence to the last the former was hanged and the latter sentenced to a long term of hard labor. It was subsequently ascertained that there had been a miscarriage of justice, and the real murderers were arrested and tried by court-martial at Chernigoff and sentenced to death and were confined in Chernigoff pending execution of their sentences. Two of them were found dead the other day in their cell. They had been strangled by their companion with a piece of twisted linen. The three had drawn lots as to which of them should kill the two others, and then commit suicide. The man who lost fulfilled the first part of the bargain, but at the last moment shrank from doing away with himself. First Telescope Preserved. Very few people are aware that the first practical telescope—the one which Galileo used in discovering the satellites of Jupiter in January, 1610, is still in existence—and preserved at the Museum of Physics and Natural History in Florence. It is about three hundred years ago since this instrument was first turned toward the heavens. Unlike the present astronomical type, it had, a concave instead of a convex eyepiece, just like the opera glasses now in use. When Galileo first exhibited his new telescope to the doge and an enthusiastic assembly he was overwhelmed with honors, because it was thought that the instrument would give the soldiers and sailors of the republic a great advantage over their enemies.—Strand Magazine. - Rain Defeated Napoleon. The plan of Waterloo as laid down by Napoleon was a most brilliant one, and had it not rained on the night of the seventeenth of June the man of destiny would in all likelihood have kept his throne. Had it not rained and made the land miry he would have had his artillery in position four days before he actually did, and Wellington would have been disposed of long before Blucher's arrival. Even as it was, the Iron Duke was pretty well used up when the Prussian came up on his left. Napoleon's genius never shone more brilliantly than it did in his last campaign. He was defeated by the elements.—Literary Digest. Disproven. Cynicus—It is quite impossible for a woman to keep a secret. Henpeckke—I don't know about that. My wife and I were engaged for several weeks before she said anything to me about it. A PROTEST AGAINST "JOLTS" Sources of Discomfort That Destroy Our Comfort and Help Shorten Our Lives. "One need not fear that his liver will really be jerked out of place when a trolley car comes to a stop," says the New York Medical Journal, "but the sense of such an impending catastrophe is certainly something more than a jarring of the pleasant tenor of one's daily life. It is a source of discomfort that is needlessly varied in a thousand ways, and frequently recurring discomfort amounts to such wear and tear as must enfeeble the vital forces and tend in the long run to the shortening of life, for it is the continual dropping that wears away a stone. The jolts that madden a person also serve to undermine his power of resistance to the malign agencies that more obviously threaten his life. That freedom from agitation which promotes contentment is well known to be highly conducive to longevity. Statisticians have demonstrated this over and over again, and society ought to exert its full power in the effort to do away with all avoidable sources of discomfort—the heat of the subway trains, the screeching of locomotives, the clang of bells, the horrid stridor of motor car horns, and all things else that go to make life miserable. To be long lived, we need to be happy, and comfort is indispensable to happiness." CHOATE'S TRIBUTE TO WOMAN Why He, Believes the Bible Story of Eve Being Made From Adam's Best Rib. There is no part of the sacred writings that has so impressed me as the history of the first creation of woman, I believe that no invasion of science has shaken the truth of that remarkable record—how Adam slept and his best rib was taken from his side and transformed into the first woman. Thus, sir, she became the "slide-bone" of man!—the sweetest morsel in his whole organism! (Laughter.) Why, sir, there is nothing within the pages of sacred writ that is dearer to me than that story. I believe in it as firmly as I do in that of Daniel in the den of lions, or Jonah in the whale's belly, or any other of those remarkable tales. (Laughter.) There is something in our very organism, sir, that confirms its truth; for if any one of you will lay his hand upon his heart, where the space between the ribs is widest, you feel there a vacuum, which nature abhors, and which nothing can ever replace until the dear creature that was taken from that spot is restored to it. (Cheers and laughter.) Follow my example, sir, and place your hand just there and see if you do not feel a sense of "goneess" which nothing that you have ever yet experienced has been able to satisfy. From a speech by Joe Chote. Once Enough. "I am not an inquisitive man," said the minister, "but there is one thing I would like to know. Why do people who marry more than once never get the minister who tied the first knot to tie the second or third or fourth? "I have married enough couples to earn for me the title of marrying parson. Many of those people were prominent enough socially to get their doings recorded in the newspapers and I learn through that medium that a fairly large percentage of them marry again. But they never ask me to officiate. "Why don't they? Didn't I bring them good luck the first time? Has their experience prejudiced them against me personally, or is there a superstition that prevents a man being married twice by the same minister?" "Even members of my own congregation who marry again seek a strange minister. Why?" Memorial to Aylators. At Louveciennes there is a memorial which commemorates the ascent of the first Montgolfier balloon. The brothers Montgolfier were on friendly terms with the celebrated statesman Boissy d'Anglas, and they offered to make their first experiment in his park. After the famous ascent. Francois Antoine Boissy d'Anglas erected a little column to commemorate the event, simply boaring the date. The ravages of time are seen on the column, and the date is almost obliterated. To the casual observer this famous landmark is only a mystery, but Boissy d'Anglas evidently saw the possibility of aerial flight by erecting this modest memorial. Thickest Skin of Any Animal The skin of a hippopotamus is about the thickest covering worn by any animal on earth. That of the whale is only slightly thicker, but then the whale lives in the sea and not upon the earth. By reason of this thick hide the hippopotamus can laugh at ordinary bullets, which merely tickle him unless they strike him in the eye, the nostrils or the ears. Therefore, when shooting hippopotami, the sportman uses explosive bullets with sharp steel points. There's a Reason. Wilfred—Ma, I wish I was cross-eyed. Mrs. Gunbusta—What makes you wish such a foolish thing, my dear? Wilfred—Why, then I could stand on the sidewalk and watch a parade coming and going at the same time. Mrs. Billtops Objects to the One Ingenious Method That Pleases Her Husband. "As some sage has remarked," said Mr. Billtops, "the longer we lives the more we finds out. You take, for instance, the mending of a trousers pocket that has a hole in it down at the bottom, so that you are in danger of losing out of it your keys or your pocket knife or such small change as you may there carry. "Now I supposed there were just three ways of mending that pocket, three and no more. One way would be to put a patch on it, another way would be to cut off the bottom of the pocket and sew on a new section, and still another way would be to put in an entire new pocket; but the tallor to whom I took these trousers to be fixed up has shown me a fourth way that made me laugh for its simplicity and at the same time as I thought ingenuity. "He just folded over the bottom of the pocket high enough up to cover the hole, and then just stitched the pocket across through the folded over part and the main body of the pocket, this you see something that could be done in a minute and that at the same time served its purpose. I admired it for its ingenuity and effectiveness, but Mrs. Billtops doesn't look at it as I do. "She says that if it's a sloppy way of mending a pocket, that it makes the pocket shallower, for one thing, and that then that folded over part, making the pocket of double thickness, makes a ridge there which is not desirable. She says that she has mended pockets that way herself, but that it is not a good way, and I guess she's right; she generally is." TIN A GOOD SOUND BARRIER German's Experiment With Telephone Booth Convinces Him It Should Be Put In Walls. Any one who in a telephone booth has been disturbed by loud talking outside, or some other noise to interrupt the electric conversation, will be interested in an article in a German periodical, Der Gesundheitsingenieur. The writer tells how he dealt with this difficulty. He had been making some acoustic experiments, which convinced him that if a wooden telephone booth were lined with tin, all noises would be excluded. He mailed sheets of tin on the wooden walls, with the result that an expert, who had laughed at his idea, was so impressed that he forthwith proceeded to construct a number of such booths. Nor are telephone users the only ones who may profit by this experiment. The writer referred to appeals to architects to introduce tin, or aluminum, in the walls of houses generally, to deaden sounds. He is convinced that if this were done, the neighbor's daughter's piano and voice would cease to be a disturbing factor in life, except, of course, in summer, when all the windows are open. The tin manufacturers may be trusted to see to it that this plan is properly pushed and advertised. Where Men Are "Pretty." A British investigator is ungallant enough to state that the reason why women are as a rule of a beauty not attained by man lies in the fact that they are more indolent and not so prone to "exercise their brains" as men are. Intellectual labors and asdiduous attention to business are, according to this authority, matters extremely prejudicial to the development of physical beauty. In support of his theory this Briton points to the Zaros, a tribe of British India. Among them, it appears, women hold the place that in other countries is pre-empted by men. The Zaro woman manages the affairs of state, engages in business on her own account and does not restrict herself in the narrow field of woman elsewhere. On the other hand, the Zaro man has nothing to do but cook the meals and look after the children. The natural result of all this, says our scientist, is that the men of this singular tribe are "very pretty" and the women unusually plain. Brought Bees to Earth. A rather novel way of capturing a swarm of bees was adopted in North Hants, England, recently, where a gamekeeper found that a roving colony had settled high up on a beech tree fifty or sixty feet above the ground in his garden. A man went to his assistance and spread a cloth on the ground on some hay just beneath the swarm. The keeper fired a shot which cut away the bough from which the bees hung from the tree. They fell like a bunch of grapes on to the cloth, and a "skep" was immediately placed over them. The swarm weighed nearly five pounds, and the bees appeared to be none the worse for their treatment. Strange Juvenile Depravity. An extraordinary case of juvenile crime recently occurred at Rosenfeld, near Munich, where two choir boys have been sentenced to several years' imprisonment for poisoning sacramental wine. The elder boy stole some hydrochloric acid, and the younger who was assisting the priest at mass, poured the polson into the wine. The first person who tasted the wine fortunately noticed that something was wrong, and a strong emetic was administered by a doctor in the congregation. DANGER PLACES IN STORM Bell Wires, Open Windows and Fireplaces Should Be Avoided When Lightning is Flashing. What is the safest place in a thunderstorm? As a rule the safest place of all is inside a building which is provided with a perfect lightning conductor. The conductor, however, must have no defects. If it be broken or have a faulty earth connection it is then a source of grave danger. In an ordinary dwelling house, unguarded as it usually is against lightning, a safe place is the middle of the largest room, where one is away from the walls, or a still safer precaution is to lie on an iron bed drawn out from contact with the wall. The most dangerous places in the house, we are further told, are near the bell wires, or an open window, or the fireplace. Outside the house the places of danger are proximity to walls and buildings and iron fences. Another danger is a crowd. The vapor which rises from a crowd tends to lead a flash toward the crowd. In the open country one of the most dangerous places is the bank of a river. Avenues of trees, lakes and hedges are likewise dangerous. If any one doubts the danger of a hawthorne hedge let him take his stand at a safe distance during a respectable storm and watch the effect. The lightning will dart along the hedge like sheets of fire. If the observer gets wet to the skin, so much the better for his safety. ATHLETES OF OLDEN·TIME Those of Greece Wore Hair Cropped and Were Subjected to Very Careful Diet. Some interesting comparisons may be drawn between ancient and modern athletes. The athletes of ancient Greece, for example, if they should appear to view today, would not be taken for a football team. The old-time man of muscle wore his hair cropped, a distinguishing feature in a land of long hair. Trainers for the games led a very careful life. They were under orders for a rigid diet, which became especially severe just before the contest. Their bill of fare consisted of fresh cheese, dried figs and wheaten porridge. A little later in the era meat was allowed, with a preference for beef and pork. Bread was not allowed with meat, and sweets not at all. At one time a strange custom of diet came into vogue. Every day at the conclusion of practise the athletes were obliged to consume enormous quantities of food, which was digested in a long-continued sleep. The amount was gradually increased until huge meals of meat were taken. This diet produced a corpulence which was of advantage in wrestling, but injurious for other sports. An Australian Plant Post. Just thirty years ago a lady at Bright, Victoria, planted in her garden a few seeds of St. John's wort sent her from the old country. The lady's intention was to have one or two of the plants at hand for medicinal purposes. The hardy weed, however, soon spread beyond the garden, and before anyone had grasped the magnitude of the evil it had been carried by cattle along all the main stock routes and jumped the Victorian watershed into Gippsland. It has now completely taken possession of something like 20,000 acres of agricultural land, and the agricultural department of Victoria is spending thousands of pounds in the endeavor to eradicate it, some of the methods tried coating nearly £50 an acre—Westminster Gazette. Object to Slaughter of Lions. According to some of the farmers of East Africa, the lion should be protected as a useful animal, notwithstanding the fact that once in a while he kills a man. The lion, they maintain, is a great destroyer of noxious herbivorous animals, such as zebras and antelopes, which are a scourge to the fields. In one district they say no fewer than 46 lions have recently been killed by hunters, and they estimate that this represents the saving of 85,000 to 40,000 zebras and antelopes, which would otherwise have fallen a prey to the lions that have been destroyed. Of course, the hunters shoot zebras and antelopes, but this fact, they think, does not counterbalance the destruction of those animals that would have been effected by the slain lions. Curiosities of Small No substance that refuses to dissolve in water has an odor. It is the actual substance itself, floating in particles in the air, that appeals to the nose, and not simply a vibration of the air, as in the case of light and sound. The damper a thing is the more powerful the odor it gives off. A pleasant proof of the fact can be had by walking in a garden after rain. There is no end to the curiosities of smell. It is, for instance, the vapor of a liquid that smells, and not the liquid in the mass, itself. If eau de cologne be poured into the nostril the nose refuses to recognize any odor there at all.

HERE'S A GOOD CHILD STORY One Which Comes From the Family of a Boston Educator and Has Unusual Originality. Perhaps the most startling child story extant, however, comes from the family of a famous Boston educator, whose children all are distinguished by an unusual degree of originality. Several boys and girls of various ages have been adopted into this family, so the sudden appearance of new and well-grown associates seems to the younger members quite natural. This rather unusual attitude toward family growth worked out oddly a year or two ago, upon the occasion of the Christmas play, which the little ones annually write, rehearse and produce, quite without adult assistance, for their parents. The plot of the play included the financial redemption of a highly worthy couple—this being an extremely cultured and sociologically learned yet natural group of youngsters—by the good luck of the husband, played by an eager urchin of seven, in the gold fields of Alaska. The happy bridegroom returned to his weeping bride of a year in the nick of time, bearing with him a huge and heavy bag of gold. The bride, in a neat speech, revealed to him the poverty-stricken, hungry straits to which she had been reduced, and warmly commended his skill and industry in gold finding. Then, rising with a proud and modest air, she gently informed him: "And I, meanwhile, have not been idle!"—and, drawing a convenient curtain, disclosed an assorted group of laughing boys and girls as "Our children, dear!" The audience, not unnaturally, rocked with helpless laughter, but those dear little lads and lasses still are wondering why. VALUE OF PROPERTY RIGHTS How One Small Boy Was Cured of Destructive Propensities by a Lasting Lesson. Small boys are very apt to fall to recognize the value of others' property. My small son, in company with a playmate, in a game used the lights in a neighbor's henhouse for a target. The owner of the damaged property visited both homes, where the culprits hid in dismay, and collected damages. Here was a valuable opportunity for a lasting lesson. I called my boy to me, and we talked the matter over, he having full chance to explain his side of the case. Then the mischief he had wrought and the reputation it might give him were gravely discussed. He voluntarily offered to refund the amount of his part of the damage out of his small savings until full restitution was made. This was finally agreed upon, and here came the hard part for the boy. His pocket money allowance was 25 cents a week, which was frequently reduced by fines for ill-temper or other sundry breaches of etiquette or duty. It took him seven weeks to get out of debt. When the last cent was paid, he gave a sigh of relief, and said: "There, I'll never destroy anything again as Baked Fish. Clean, wash and dry the fish and sprinkle the inside with salt. Cut gashes in the side two inches apart and the fish in letter S shape. Rub with salt, pepper and melted butter and put a piece of salt pork in each gash in the side. Put in oven to bake and baste often. Add following dressing: Take cupful of cracker crumbs, two tablespoonfuls melted butter, one saltspoon salt, one of pepper, one tablespoonful of chopped pickle, one tablespoonful parsley and one tablespoonful of onion juice. Add hot water to moisten. Hot Chicken Salad One tablespoonful of butter, melt, add one tablespoonful of flour mixed with a pinch of salt, a little pepper, cayenne, and if liked celery salt, or for a change a few drops of onion juice. Use about a cup of milk to make a cream. Stir in a beaten egg, then carefully a cup of chopped chicken meat. Don't stir much after adding the meat. Veal is good instead of chicken, and lamb can be used, but cut it into little dice instead of chopping it. Serve on toast or with fried potatoes.
