A. E. vOL. XXXII NO 7 Great Success of Durham Summer School DISTINGUISHED EDUCATORS JOHN C. DANCY AT DUR-HAM, N. C. Great Work of Dr. James E. Shepard Complimented. Durham, N. C., July 12. The National Religious Training School, this city, opened its summer school and chautaqua the day after the Fourth with a more auspicious effect than the national holiday occasioned in this section of the State. The varied program with Hon. John C. Dancy as the principal speaker on this day, and the undulating grounds well terraced and the entire campus with its stately buildings making this institution a desirable retreat for any one seeking knowledge and profitable recreation, makes it stand out prominently as one of the greatest educational events among the race in the country. The teachers and lecturers for the summer school and chautaqua are conspicuous in their respective professions. A number of States furnish a representative number of teachers as students, and the attendance at the opening surpassed the most sanguine expectation of President Shepard. "I want to felicitate with you for the great work being accomplished by Dr. Shepard, and we must uphold him in this great effort. It is simply wonderful to note the progress the school has made. It has blossomed as a rose," said Dr. Dancy in his introductory remarks in addressing a representative audience that gave him quite an ovation. Dr. Dancy's message came in the form of a heart to heart talk with his audience. The progress of the race, in the South especially, afforded him ample material to carry in a direct manner to his attentive audience hopeful evidence of surviving from a State not conducive to desirable citizenship. He mastered vital statistics in comparing what the Negro has lost with what he has gained. That the unity of purpose and action on the part of the better element of the race is necessary for the development of the masses of the race were strongly asserted by him. He commended the race in Durham for the manner in which they worked for the accomplishment of good. "Civic Righteousness" and "Reminiscences of Some of the Race's Leaders" were the subjects of two of the most interesting addresses ever heard here in this city. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt, of New Jersey, one of the greatest authorities on the Bible, began a 'series of lectures on the second day of the session, and this profound theologian and ripe scholar is giving inspiration and a greater conception of the works of the part of the Bible discussed by him. The heroes of the early church afforded the subject "Philip the Evangelist" in his first lecture, and he beautifully unfolded the purpose of the activities of this apostle. He enunciated the qualities of Philip and showed that his success was largely due to his sympathies, which made him broad and took him out of the sphere of those who were narrow. The spirit which manifest itself in the present day church as explained by Dr. Hurlburt, was a potent influence in the work of Philip. The cause of certain conditions in the church to- THE BEE WASHINGTON day, as indicated by the utterances of the speaker, was the indifference of too large a number of its members to a certain element of people in the church. For the modern church to fulfil its mission it must be filled with the spirit that made the early church such a power because it lived near to God. "Let us make men" was the subject of an analytical address by Prof Kelly Miller, who is giving a series of lectures on mathematics. He was greeted by an enthusiastic audience and was accorded an ovation. "We have the privilege of being a coworker with God in making men" were some of the philosophical utterances of this noted scholar in his introduction. That every person has a peculiar assignment in the perfecting of the faculties of his neighbors and to mould those mobile and flexible characters properly he said that God required of them to be intelligent and efficient co-workers and should understand all the knowledge involved in the process of man making. A thorough knowledge of the student should be possessed by the teacher and the pedagogue should have especial training for this feature of making man was emphasized by the speaker. He said that if the physical constituent of man is weak the process of man-making is barren of results desired. In a plain and unassuming manner he spoke of the class of people in the race leaving the rural districts and entering the city where their environments were too often detrimental to their physical development. This large element in a number of cities' populations unless given the facilities of physical development would be a diminishing factor in the world of affairs was a logical conclusion of his attentive audience. He said that the demands of civilization was such that if a man did not have a sound body his value to society was decreased. Among his utterances on this phase of human development were: "I would prefer living in the meanest log cabin in North Carolina than in a crowded alley in the city of Washington." He held that brains were not cheap if properly applied, and without knowledge there was not much power, hence the process of man-making required the developing of the intellect. The attentive and receptive audience was told that self made men in Europe were among the things of the past, and they were finding their place in the history of the past because intellect was one of the predominating forces in the activities of this strenuous age and not mere sheer force of physical power and good luck. A man who was stiff and pedantic because he possessed a fertile brain and never mingled with his fellows for their uplift Prof. Miller likened unto a "crooked stick in the wood pile." That social development was a factor in making man an effective agency for the accomplishing of the purposes for which man was created was practically and interestingly told by this keen observer of men. He showed the value of culture and what God intended man to do with his talent. "There must be something in you to be given if you want to give something to the world," said Prof. Miller in revealing the fact that man must be capable of producing by natural limitations. A prize fighter who was perfect in physique but lacked the development of other faculties was his example for the onesided man. The self-righteous individual who believes he has reached the state that he can claim a perfect development was another class claiming his attention and eliciting a flow of eloquence, yet pure and instructive, which met the approbation of his hearers. He often quoted Shakes- E. SHEPARD, With a Large Number of Distinguished Visitors. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY JULY 15.1911 W. H. PRESIDENT WI LLIAM H. TAFT. peare and Darwin in his scientific treatise of the subject, and the following words of the lecturer, "God shares with us in the development of all faculties of our nature," shows the depth of the thinker. Prof. F. A. Clark, the well-known music composer whose work is being sung in a number of the leading churches in the country, and the demand for his anthems and class of vocal selections by the leading publishers of the country, is the musical director, and the musicals here are of a high standard. BIBLE CLASSES IN SLUMS Encouraged by the churches of Washington, officials of the alley association have opened a vacation Bible school, to keep in touch with the children during the Summer. The school was opened at 9 a.m., yesterday, in the Sunday-school room of Shiloh Baptist Church, L Street, near 16th Street. The Rev. J. Milton Waldron, president of the alley Association, officiated. The teachers of the school are members of the faculty of Normal Training School, No. 2. Miss Edna Smith, the head teacher, is assisted by Miss Alice Covell, Miss Hills, Miss Barrett and Mr. Walker. Classes will be held every day from 9 to 12 o'clock, and will consist of Bible stories, manual training, reading, and singing. The school's object is to keep the children off the streets. The Rev. George F. Dudley, A. M., rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, was one of the chief movers in the plan. The funds were contributed by friends of the alley association. More than 200 children were enrolled yesterday, and it is expected as many more will join this week. Democratic Hypocrisy. Mr. Langley. Mr. Speaker—— The Speaker. Does the gentleman yield to the gentleman from Kentucky? Mr. Roddenbery. I do. Mr. Langley. Mr. Speaker, I would call the gentleman's attention to the fact that when the Republicans are administering the law it does not require a resolution for them to keep soldiers on the roll. They do it any now. Applause on the Republican side). Some of them were appointed. I am told, on this police force when the Republicans had control of it. Let me call the gentleman's attention also to the fact that the Republicans have enacted into the statute law of the country provisions giving preference in all branches of the public service to the ex-soldiers and ex-sailors of the country. (Applause on the Republican side.) Mr. Roddenbery. I am glad of the gentleman's statement. If they pursued that policy, then go to the Post-office Department, go to the War Department, go, if you please, into the Treasury Department and see sitting at the desks there, standing at the doors, and filling the places able-bodied, sleek-faced, strong Africans holding easy jobs which old, enfeebled veterans deserve. (Applause on the Democratic side.) Why give to these old, feeble men who fought 50 years ago the arduous task of night police duty and day police duty? Why do you not give them some of these sitting-down jobs? (Applause on the Democratic side.) Speaking as a son of the South, with no lineage that connects me with those led the Union side 50 years ago, the day is not now and never has been south of Mason and Dixon's line when Afric's son could displace a Caucasian in any office under any Democratic appointment. (Applause on the Democratic side.) You can no longer deceive the old soldiers or American people with your cunning demagoguery in order to control the Southern vote in your Republican conventions.

Speaks at the Million Dollar Pier and at Fitzgerald's Auditorium, With Bishop Walters, Guests of the Business Men's League. Bishop Walters Meets William, the Peace-Maker, and Gets a Transfer for the Republican Band Wagon. Will Take and Follow Washington's Advice in Politics—Lawyer Isaac H. Nutter Entertains Washington and Family. (By Jas. A. Lightfoot, Special Cor.) (Special to the Washington Bee.) Atlantic City, N. J., July 12. For two and a half hours on last Friday past, the President of the United States, William Howard Taft, was the guest of the city and the great International Christian Endeavor convention. At the same time the great Tuskeegan, Booker T. Washington, was also the guest of the same great organization, and both men spoke from the same platform. The President spoke to an audience of more than 17,000 people, and after his address there was a general rush for Williston Hall where Dr. Washington spoke, and Taft was scheduled to make his second address of the evening. At the second great meeting there was a crowd of at least 18,000 from all over the world. When the President came in there was general cheering and saluting, but when Dr. Washington rose to make his address, there was added a tumultuous applause, standing and craning in an effort to see the eminent Negro. Both presidents were met at the station by delegations of the leading citizens and thousands of people bent on seeing the President of the United States, the first to visit this resort since the days of President Grant, and the great educator, Washington, of whom thousands had only read and heard. Guests of Lawyer and Mrs. Isaac H. Nutter. During their stay in the city, Dr. and Mrs. Washington and their family, were the guests of Lawyer and Mrs. Isaac H. Nutter, at their beautiful cottage in Arctic Avenue. Lawyer and Mrs. Nutter, Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Nutter, and Dr. and Mrs. P. L. Hawkins were the guests of Dr. Washington at the great meeting which he and President Taft addressed on Friday evening. President Taft Pays Compliment to Booker. In closing his remarks to the great crowd of 18,000 people in the great auditorium of the Million Dollar Pier, President Taft said: "In conclusion, in speaking to a great body like this and engaged in the great work in which you are engaged, I could not fail to say something of the great man who is to be your next speaker, Dr. Booker T. Washington, a man who is doing more for the uplift of a people and mankind, a people, a large part of this, our great commonwealth, than any one man in the entire country, and a man whose usefulness to his race and to the entire country cannot be exaggerated." Booker T. Washington Shows C. E. Is Helping the Negro. "The colored race of America is grateful of the privilege of being represented at the 25th International convention of the Christian Endeavor Society," said Dr. Washington. "From the very first this organization has manifested its interest and its liberality toward my race in no uncertain way. The International Christian Endeavor Society is so broad in its scope and its methods and work that it cuts through racial and color lines to lift up and encourage all people, regardless of race, color or nationality. It has been the means of inspiring, encouraging and saving a large number of young people who otherwise would have led worthless lives. "The President has spoken to you of the great prospect of international peace, but I want to impress upon your minds the great desire for interracial peace that must actuate the work of a great organization like this I am now addressing. That is to say, I want to bring to your minds the great lesson of peace on earth and GOOD WILL toward all mankind, no matter what the color of his skin. We of my race are here to stay, and interracial peace is as necessary for the common good as well as international peace. We have here an improved method of dealing with the race problem everywhere, and that is that in whatever effort is made for the improvement of the Negro, is to give him an opportunity to assist in this effort. "It is always a help to a race as it is with an individual to fall in line with a great organization like this, likened to a world movement, such as this organization represents. These efforts have also caused the colored man and the white man to work side by side for the common end, and as a result, they have been brought into closer touch with each other and have come to understand each other better. In Atlanta, Georgia, the colored people in ten days raised $75,000 for the Y. M. C. A. work. The greatest result in Atlanta, however, was not the raising of this money by the colored people, but the moral effect that it had upon the white people, not only of Atlanta, but of the South in general. For it was discovered that the Negro responds much more readily to those things that assure his good citizenship than he does to those that assure his instinct toward criminality. It emphasized the fact that the Negro has race consciousness and that he has civic pride." At the Business League Banquet— Bishop Walters Tells of Political Coup The great banquet given by the local Business League, of which Dr. and Mrs. Washington, with Bishop Walters and the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, of Richmond, Va., were the guests of honor, was in reality a great harmony feast whereat the church business and politics were in perfect accord. It was a great time for local politicians who came together and buried the hatchet. In a sense, too, it was National. At the great convention to which Dr. Washington spoke, it had been arranged to have Dr. Washington present at one of the conferences. By some means, nobody will go on record as to how it was worked, politics just pushed itself into the body of churchmen, and the militant Bishop was questioned as to the possibility of how he could and when he would, with dignified pulls, climb aboard the band wagon of the G. O. P. Now to this, you can bet the Bishop had some real democratic talk to give out for publication. However, all passed off until at night when the President spoke, when the Bishop was on the stand just two seats from where the President was to sit and just next to the Tuskegean. It was evidently time for some one to say something. Thus Mr. Washington inquired of his grace when he had met Mr. Taft. On information of the Bishop himself, he had not met Mr. Taft since he was Secretary of War. And right there Mr. Washington must have decided to have the mili- Continued on Page 4. [Name] PROF.

For the first time in America a Summer school for instruction of the sisters of the Catholic Church has opened at the Catholic University. More than three hundred have already registered. Hawaii is the pineapple farm of the world. The largest pineapple cannery in the world is near Honolulu. Benjamin C. Robinson, the oldest engineer on the Southern Railway, and reputed to be the oldest in point of service of any locomotive engineer in the United States, died last week. He became an engineer about 1880. He was 72 years of age. Rev. Paul D. Drake, rector of the Unitarian Church in Beverly, Mass, and widely known as President Taft's Summer pastor, has accepted a call to the Unitarian Church in Saco, Me. William W. Smith, one of Poughkeepsie's philanthropists, has presented his check for $30,000 to the Young Women's Christian Association. Mr. Smith's gifts to local charitable institutions now total nearly a million dollars. Cuba is arranging to pay tribute to the sailors whose lives were sacrificed on the battleship Maine. Flags on all the public buildings and on ships in the harbor will flag at half mast. Guns will be fired at half minute intervals the entire day. The destruction of the Maine had much to do with the clash of arms that freed Cuba. The citizens of Little Rock are making extensive preparations for the 12th annual session of the National Negro Business League which convenes Aug. 16, $1,912 has been raised for the entertainment fund, $500 of which was given by the Chamber of Commerce The Methodist Bible Institute, which met at Denton, Texas, recently, passed a resolution favoring the extension of the ecclesiastical franchise to women on an equal footing with men. John P. Jones, the noted Welsh composer and vocalist, died in Chicago last week at the age of 88 years. He died while singing one of his favorite hymns. The Shiloh Baptist Church has opened a vacation Bible School, the object of which is to keep in touch with the children during the Summer months and to keep them off the streets. The school is open from 9 to 12 o'clock. The children will be taught reading, manual training, singing and Bible sories. The White House stables, the old landmark that has housed the horses, vehicles, automobiles, and even the "White House cow," from the time when Gen. Grant was President, and for whom it was originally built, will be taken away. Former Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks, in an address before Christian Endeavorors in Atlantic City, said: "When I arrived here I would never have known it was Sunday save looking at the calendar. The conditions were shameful, worse than in many European cities." The applause was scattered. The violent wind and hail storm which swept Lee County, Ala., caused damages estimated at $150,000, and practically every vestige of growing crops was destroyed. France is suffering from a heat wave more intense than the country has experienced since 1900. Nicholas D. Haner, a nephew of Barbara Fritchie, quietly celebrated his 94th birthday at his home in Frederick. Md., last Saturday.

Jules Bandeau relates that one time while living in Paris Balsac locked himself up in his room for twenty-two days and twenty-two nights, refusing to see any one and keeping the curtains closed and the lights continually burning even in broad daylight. The only human being he saw during this time was his servant, whom he rang for when he felt the need of food and which he washed down with numerous cups of coffee. He would throw himself on his bed only when entirely exhausted from lack of sleep, and he remained in complete ignorance of what was transpiring outside, the state of the weather and even of the time and day of the week. He only freed himself from this voluntary captivity when he had written the word "End" on the last page of the manuscript he began when he entered his prison. Coral That Shocks. On the coast of the West Indian islands a curious kind of coral is found, called "millepoca." This has a most extraordinary property which makes the people who know it very shy of handling it. The moment you pick up a piece a sort of electric thrill runs through you and an agonizing pain shoots through your jaws. You feel as if every tooth and every nerve and muscle connected with them was burning. The acute pain lasts generally for about half an hour and slowly passes off, but the effects do not disappear entirely for hours. The reason of this curious shock or poisoning is a mystery.

A LONG ROMANCE It Ended Realistically In Wedlock By RICHARD G. WHITE An elderly gentleman sat on the broad plaza of a summer hotel overlooking the ocean. Beneath him the waves were curling in on the beach, casting a line of foam over the smooth sand, and receding with an effervescing sound. There may be people who can sit and watch this incessant rolling in and recession of waves with a stolid indifference. Not so George Warrington, whose spiritual part was made of finer stuff than that of the average man or woman. To him the billows told stories of infinity. More than that, they brought him memories. There was a tinge of sadness. In it all, for he was alone in the world, without life or child. The waves were recalling to him a picture of his youth. He had seen it from a hotel window. The hour was between daylight and dark. Far out on the horizon a full moon was rising, a belt of cloud across its center. Nearer a black hulk was rising and falling monotonously. Nearer still lay a point of rocks. At low tide it was a little peninsula, at half tide an island embracing a few square yards, at full tide submerged. On its face, looking out upon and absorbed in the beautiful scene, sat a girl. Since she had gone there the sand behind her had been covered by the rising waters, and she was unconscious that her retreat over dry land had been cut off. Quick thought shot through the brain of the young man looking out of the window. The tide his fancy transfigured to a savage in the wilderness with raised tomhawk stealing on his prey. Again it was a serpent enclosing the girl and drawing its coils closer and closer about her. It was really an inanimate ocean unconsciously surrounding a girl unmindful of all save the beautiful scene before her. In that region the tide runs with great rapidity. Warrenton knew this and, rushing down several flights of stairs, dashed over the sand toward the girl. As he ran he looked to see if a boat were lying anywhere near on the beach. None was in sight. Reaching the strip of water closing in behind the rock, he plunged in and swam across. The girl's reverie was broken by looking up and seeing a dripping figure beside her. "Come, quick! You're cut off by the tide." Turning, she saw the swirling waters behind her. Her face lost its color, for she would be helpless in that quick current. She stood paralyzed. "Come!" repeated Warrington. But he did not wait for her to move. Selzing her hand, he drew her, supporting her at the same time, to the margin of the torrent. She shrank back. Forcibly dragging her into it, encircling her with one arm, he swam with the other. The distance across the current was not long, but it ran so swiftly that the two were carried along till they found themselves at the end of the little strait, where they were tossed on the waves. Then came a test of endurance. Warrington was strong and a good swimmer, but by this time the girl was clutching him so as to impede his efforts. At that hour few were on the beach and none within call. Warrington's efforts were having less and less effect, and he was about to give up hope both for himself and his burden when he heard the sound of oars. Making an effort, he got his head as far as possible above the surface and shouted: "Help!" The sound of oars ceased, then recommenced with a quicker stroke, and in less than a minute the dark body of a boat appeared on the crest of a wave above the drowning couple. Then a hand was extended, and Warrington put out his own hand and grasped the gunwale of the boat. Between the newcomer and Warrington the drowning girl was got into the boat. Then Warrington was helped in by the boatman. While Mr. Warrington was passing in memory over the scene that had occurred more than thirty years before a woman whose white hair contrasted with her comparatively young face came up and stood with her hands on the plaza rail, looking out upon the shimmer that was beginning to extend itself from the rising moon. She turned and was about to go away when she noticed the man sitting near her. There was something in his appearance, his wrap attitude, to tell her that he, like herself, possessed the gift of appreciation of the beautiful. She felt impelled to address him. "Isn't it charming?" she exclaimed, half to him. "Say, rather, infinitely grand," he replied, rising and uncovering. "We women are apt to see the beautiful, you men the grand," she continued. "A child once said, 'God is a beautiful painter.' While the statement places the lesser above the greater, it is still A beautifully expressed thought." "Indeed it is. But the most absorbing effect of this scene to me is not that it is a picture, but a combination of infinite material forms. It is the wonder in it that impresses me." lege of her sex to first address the man, he assumed the privilege of proceeding further by asking her to be, seated. "This is the first time in years," she said, "that I have been to the seashore. I love it, yet I fear it. It is to me like the serpent that charms the bird to destroy it. Fancy this tranquil scene transformed by a tempest. There is nothing in nature that is to me so miraculous as those waves. See that leviathan out there rolling in. True, his mane is gilded by the moon, but his body is black. There is a terror in his very silence. There, it breaks! How it pounds the beach! "I dread the water in any form," she went on after a pause. "Even when it is tranquil-it is treacherous. One who cannot swim may drown within a few feet of land. A current will glide along like a crawling reptile, carrying one who may be caught in it out into the great, dark, unmerciful ocean. Oh, I hate the water! I don't know why I came here. I will never come again." "Madam," said Warrington, "you speak as one who has been caught in the toils of the watery element. You have had what swimmers call a scare. One who has suffered from a fright in the water will never get over it. Once conscious of its terrible grip, one can never be induced to trust it again." "You are right," she said. "The relentlessness of any inanimate force is terrible, but it seems, to me that the power of water is the most terrible of all. How can people cross and recross the ocean? It would seem that one ship being sucked into the maw of the monster would be enough to deter others from trusting themselves upon its treacherous bosom." Warrington was sure that the lady had experienced some mishap to give her this dread of the water and was curious to know the incident. But he was too well bred to ask a direct question. Moreover, it occurred to him that possibly it might have given her a mental as well as a physical, shock from which she had never recovered. "I have had," she went on, "what you call a scare. It gave me an incurable dread of water, but in itself it gradually passed into comparative unimportance. There was that connected with it which has affected my whole life." "Indeed!" The word "indeed" is an extremely well bred expression and means nothing. It doesn't trespass on any one's feelings, asks no questions, invites confidence only if the confider is minded to give it and leaves him or her to proceed or turn the subject at will. It is one of the most useful words in the English dictionary. "When I was a girl I was sitting one evening on a rock viewing a scene like this, so enraptured that I was unconscious of the tide rising behind me. I was already cut off when a young man not only warned me, but saved me. Only a fortunate circumstance enabled us to get to the shore." She shuddered and continued: "Not for the world would I dwell on that occurrence. It is of what followed that I am going to speak. In novels when a young man saves a girl from a catastrophe they love and marry. In my case a romance was started that was continuous, leaving me with old age before me, without a single companion. I could never forget my rescuer, but my rescuer apparently never considered me in any other light than as one he had rescued. At any rate, he never sought me out, never came near me. I had a number of excellent offers, but my mind had become absorbed with one person, and I would yield to none other. And here I am at nearly fifty years of age, desolate because a man saved me from drowning. I would prefer that he had left me to have been engulfed." After this burst of confidence the lady suddenly remembered that she was giving it to a stranger. There was a momentary silence, at the end of which Warrington was about to speak, when she forestalled him. "I dare say," she said, "that you are surprised at my revealing to one I have never met before so sacred an experience. Perhaps you will not believe me when I tell you that till this moment I have kept the secret in my own bosom from every living soul. When I came upon you just now this scene brought back the incident of my youth, and a certain kindliness I saw in your eye invited me for once to open the floodgates and permit the long pent up waters to flow forth." "Madam," said Warrington, "I am aware of that propensity engrafted in humanity to confide. In this case you could not have confided in a person better calculated to console you. It is said that misery loves company. You and I, having been made miserable by the same incident, should love each other's company for the rest of our lives." "Indeed!" said the lady, in her turn using that convenient word. "Thirty years ago I saved a girl from drowning. Unfortunately I was so cursed sensitive that I feared to make any advance whatever lest she should think I was presuming upon my service at having saved her. I did not see her again for some time after we left the water, and when I met her on her face was a scowl." He paused, and the two regarded each other intently. Suddenly the lady burst forth reproachfully: "Why shouldn't she have scowled? Hadn't you ignored her?" And soot was that a lady, not recognizing the man who had condemned her to splinsterhood, told him frankly the story of her life. It was the beginning of the end for both of them. A romance that had endured for thirty years was at last ended in realism—that is to say, marriage. Mr. Mieklejohn By F. A. MITCHEL Everard Tomlinson was considered an admirable catch. He was a fine fellow in every way and when he came of age fell heir to a fortune of some $600,000. He was besieged by fortune hunting girls. It was something of a relief, therefore, when Mrs. Stetson, an old friend of his mother, reminded him that he was promised to her for a visit at her unpretentious bungalow on Lake Wasapogle for the last two weeks in September. He had engaged for this visit in the spring to please his mother and before he had made his round of house parties. At that time he looked forward to two weeks in Mrs. Stetson's bungalow as burying himself in the woods. There was to be no other guest, and the family consisted only of Mrs. Stetson, her son, Roy, aged sixteen, and her daughter, Alce, aged twenty. Tomlinson was told that it would not be necessary to bring evening dress; that he would need flannel shirts and any old clothes he might possess. His days would be passed in a row boat and his evenings in the living room of the bungalow with the family sitting around a table reading by a kerosene lamp. After being hunted by spinsters Tomlinson rather liked the idea of getting away by himself. True, there was Alice Stetson, who might be lying in wait for him, but it was not improbable that he could get away occasionally alone for a pull over the waters of the lake. It was near the 1st of October when Tomlinson was driven up to the rear door of the bungalow—the house faced the lake and was built on its verge—and the foliage had already begun to take on its variegated hues. Mrs. Stetson and Roy welcomed the guest. Tomlinson noticed the absence of Miss Alice and was so well bred as to say that he hoped she was not from home. He was told that she was in the house, but would not appear before dinner. Her mother vaguely hinted that there was a reason for her keeping her room for the present, and from the sympathetic tone in which the statement was made Tomlinson inferred that some sad event had occurred. Alice came out of her room as dinner was announced. She did not say anything about the lugubrious event, but she looked intensely sad. Indeed, her eyes were red, an evidence that she had been weeping. The effort she made to seem cheerful was touching. Tomlinson was tempted to inquire what was the cause of her melancholy, but was too well bred to trespass on the sacred feelings of a young girl. Alice retired to her room early in the evening. The next morning her depression continued, though Tomilinson noticed that she ate heartily. Mrs. Stetson suggested that she show Tomilinson the beauties of Wussapogle lake. Alice cast a look of appeal at her mother, as much as to say, "It's cruel that I must exert myself to entertain a stranger when my heart is crushed," but the mother insisted, telling her daughter that the fresh air would raise her spirits and that she should make an effort. What kind of an effort she should make the mother did not explain. Roy got out a boat, and as Alice stepped into it dressed in a very becoming blouse and a short skirt Tomlinson noticed that she possessed a foot and ankle the curves of which were very delicately turned. She asked Roy if he was not going with them, and when he said he was going instead for ducks she gave him a reproachful glance. Tomlinson, relieved at Roy's refusal, took the oars and pulled away from the front porch, which served as a landing for the little bungalow buried under trees and shrubbery, dipping his oars into water lilies, then gliding away into deep water. There was an autumn crispness in the air, and Tomlinson wished the lady were in a better condition to enjoy it with him. He drew her into conversation and soon learned the cause of her distress. When he admired a clump of trees on the crest of a knoll she said, "Mr. Mieklejohn always admired that." When he pulled into a little cove with a tiny beach overhang with wildwood and remarked what a charming spot it was she replied sadly, "Mr. Mieklejohn and I always used to pull in here when we came out boating." "May I ask who Mr. Mieklejohn is?" "Oh!" This was an exclamation as though she had unwittingly betrayed herself. "Mr. Mieklejohn is a very good friend of ours. He left us yesterday morning just before you came." It was all out. This bee Mieklejohn had been there, had captured the prize and there was no sweetness left for poor Tomlinson. "Pardon me," he said, with a suspicion of hauteur. "I did not know that I was trespassing on sacred ground." "Oh, no. I assure you you quite mistake me." "In what respect?" "It's as I said. Mr. Mleklejohn is a very good friend to us all—mother, Roy, all of us." "But when he goes away you do the mourning." She looked very much hurt at this, almost offended. Tomlinson was disgruntled. Notwithstanding that this was very different from the social life he had been enjoying he would have liked the change, especially for the company of this pretty girl, had not Mieklejohn spoiled it all by going away, taking her heart with him. With the girls Tomlinson had met he was surfeited. Here was a girl so preoccupied with another that she couldn't even be companionable. This is a specimen of the way she talked about Mieklejohn: "Do you sing? No! Mr. Mieklejohn has such a lovely tenor-voice. When he sings he thrills me. He used to sing parts from 'Faust,' and I almost wished I had been Marguerite. Mr. Mieklejohn is very versatile. He is the best whist player, the best billiard player, the best horseback rider, the best swimmer." "Did you tumble out of the boat when he was here that he might swim ashore with you?" "How ridiculous!" She pouted. Tomlinson asked her to go on with the catalogue of Mleklejohn's accomplishments, but she turned away from him as from one who had slapped the face of her idol and, pulling on the port rudder rope, headed the boat for the bungalow. After dinner Alice sat at the table in the living room with her mother, her brother and Tomlinson—that is to say, she was going to sit there, but the guest spoiled it all and drove her away by asking If Mr. Mieklejohn read poetry to her by the dim light of the kerosene lamp. At this reference to the dear departed Mieklejohn Mrs. Stetson cast a frightened glance at her daughter. Roy was reading a book on the game of football and was oblivious to the shock to his sister's sensibilities. Alice arose and, with her eyes bent to the floor, left the room. Tomlinson could have bliten off his tongue, for a long evening was before him with no other companions than an elderly lady and a boy, the room in which they were being lighted by a dim lamp. Mrs. Stetson retired at 9 and Roy half an hour later. Tomlinson vowed that if the period of this seclusion ever expired—it seemed to him that it never would—he would not get into such a trap again. Besides, he was much pliqued after having been sought by finer girls to be completely ignored, considered a personage of no importance whatever compared with the immaculate Mieklejohn. A desire came to him to supplant Mr. Mieklejohn and when he had done so leave Lake Wassapogle with his nose in the air. The next morning Mrs. Stetson, evidently still concerned about her daughter's sorrow, suggested another boat ride. Alice didn't seem to care what she did so long as Mr. Mieklejohn was absent. She yielded possibly to her mother's wish. The boat was taken out, and the guest of the house, with the listless girl, again left the bungalow. Tomlinson bore the references to Mieklejohn, gritting his teeth, but making no reply. His object was rather to draw Alice's attention away from this remarkable man to other subjects from which he might the more easily direct it to himself. He exerted whatever lady killing faculties he possessed for an hour, at the end of which time his companion seemed really to have plucked up some interest in her surroundings. Then for an hour she failed to mention the lost one. Tomlinson was encouraged. Two weeks passed, each day being a gradual drawing away of Alice Stetson from a man who was absent to a man who was present. All the delicious little nooks which bordered on the lake were visited again and again, and at last Tomlinson chuckled to himself: "Now bring on your Mieklejohn." Now bring on your Micklejohn. One bright morning they were drifting idly through some rushes. There's nothing like some rushes, some smooth water, a little brush and a few overhanging trees, with a man and a girl in a boat, to make a picture of young love. Tomilinson was making an effort to complete the shattering of the sacred image—Micklejohn. He overshot the mark and made use of the word "love." Had Miss Stetson been sitting at the other end of the boat from him, possibly what happened might not have happened, at least not then. But they were sitting side by side. Alice's head fell on Tomilinson's shoulder. What could he do? He completed the transition. The burden was removed from the shoulders of the dear departed and placed upon those of the newcomer. This is a letter written by Alice Stetson to her bosom friend Molly Bawn announcing her engagement: "You see, dearest, mamma knew from Mrs. Tomilinson that Ned was beet by a lot of society girls of that class which is trying to live in swelldom without having the means to do so. Mrs. Tomilinson was afraid some of them would get him and, knowing what a plain, modest, unassuming girl I am, without a bit of deception in my nature, she asked mamma to invite Ned here, hoping he and I might make a match. Mamma said he wouldn't "look at it" me after all the fine ladies he had met. This set me to thinking, and I determined to be as unlike them as possible. When he came I pretended to have just parted with somebody else—a Mr. Mieklejohn, I called him—taking about, what a fine fellow he was, how I missed him, and all that, till Ned got so mad every time I mentioned his name that I thought he would murder me. Now I'm afraid he'll murder me when he finds out that Mr. Mieklejohn is a myth. "We're going to be married during the holidays, and I wish you to be my first bridesmaid. We're not going to have a splurge wedding, but quite gay enough to warrant the prettiest gown you can invent." TREASURE TROVE Its Secret War Revealed by a Vision By CLARISSA MACKIE Jarvis journeyed from the little railroad station in a brightly painted stage drawn by two iron gray horses. He was the only passenger for the beach, and he shook about in the huge vehicle like the proverbial pea in a barrel. At the entrance to a narrow sandy lane shaded by wind blown cedars, under which the marsh grass straggled, sparsely, the stage stopped. "All out!" sang the driver lustily. "Goin' to the beach, ye said?" He peered down at Jarvis with beady black eyes beneath thatches of white eyebrows. "Yes; Edgewater cottage. Stright ahead?" Jarvis asked the question while he threw his luggage to the ground and paid his fare. "Edgewater cottage? That'll be the Rowe place, last cottage on the left. So long!" "Much obliged. Goodbye!" Jarvis turned to the left and walked slowly down to the beach, his head bared to the fresh breeze, his lungs gratefully inhaling the invigorating salt air. The last cottage proved to be a rather large structure placed not far beyond high water mark. Its shingles were weather beaten to a silver gray, and the many windows tightly snuttered looked like closed eyes in a sad face. It seemed desolate enough compared to the other cozy houses along the beach, but Jarvis decided after a hasty examination that when he got out some porch furniture and opened up the shutters the cottage he had hired would be fit enough for his purposes. The rusty key he had obtained from the agent creaked in the lock and the door swung open, admitting him to large, comfortably furnished rooms. His first duty was to throw wide the shutters and raise the window sashes to the fresh air. Except for a layer of dust over everything the house was in exquisite order of arrangement. He decided to sleep in the wire inclosed balcony, and as he had arranged by letter for his meals to be sent in from the hotel on the long point beyond there, was little for him to do save to arrange a cot in the balcony and unpack his painting things. At sunset a steam launch from the hotel discharged a boy with a basket containing his dinner. Jarvis discussed the excellent meal on the veranda, his artist's eye lingering on the wide sweep of green and blue flecked with white that filled the foreground. Here were color and life enough to illim any number of canvases. Jarvis was glad he had decided to close his studio and run away from all his friends, and the chance that brought him to Beachside had been decided by the childish method of closing his eyes and running his finger along the map of New Jersey while he counted ten. Then he had opened his eyes and found Beachside, most inconspicuous of small watering places, under his finger. Now he was here. He smoked a thoughtful cigar while the sunset tints faded to opal and silver and then a uniform slate gray setfed over the water. The cigar consumed, Jarvis felt for another one in vain. His cigar case was empty; also he had forgotten his tobacco pouch. He fingered his pipe wistfully and rummaged his traps for tobacco of some sort. In sheer desperation he carried his tallow candle (there was no kerosene in the cottage) from room to room in an aimless search for nicotine. At last he whistled joyously. On a small stand in one corner of the living room he found a smoking set of hammered brass. The huge tobacco jar contained a few pinches of the desired weed, and he crammed it into his pipe gratefully. Now he closed the door and locked it and went up to his balcony. He throw himself down on the cot and smoked contentedly, dreamily. Overhead was the shine of gentle stars, and on the beach the waves broke softly, musically. He went to sleep. Jarvis was awakened by a crashing volley of thunder, followed by a vivid flash of lightning. He sat up and gazed open mouthted at the strange scene depicted before his eyes. There was all the wild fury of a hurricane bursting about his ears. Huge waves pounded on the beach, breaking in blinding spray that drenched his face. Some dark shape loomed out of the blackness, coming nearer. He discerned the outlines of a large white steamer, saw dark forms tossed against her whiteness, heard the blare of her distress signals, saw her careen on the shoals and become engulfed in the sea. Still the waves broke on the beach, and in their tossing they flung a dark form on the white sand beneath the balcony. Jarvis tried to rise, but his limbs seemed paralyzed. He endeavored to utter a sound, but his lips were dumb. He could only sit there on his couch wildly conscious of tragedy heaped on tragedy, powerless to help. Another wave rose high crested, curved downward and greedily snatched the still dark form from the sands, drew it out into the sea's bosom and kept it. Horrified, the painter stared down at the beach, now conscious that the silent form had left something behind, a small dark object whose outlines were lost in the darkness. Then the waves came again and again, sucking up the sand and piling it over and about the dark object until it was entirely hidden from view. With appalling suddenness the storm vanished as if it had never been. Overhead the stars shone gently, and the waves softly lapped the quiet beach. Jarvis found his motive power as if magically restored. With a leap he was off the cot and dashing down the stairs to the sand. There he stood dumfounded. To the touch of his stockinged feet the sand was warm and dry. His groping fingers confirmed that fact. The tide was rising, and almost to its verge the sand showed no trace of dampness. The sea stretched a level expanse, broken here and there by dimping wavelets. "I'll be hanged if I know what to make of it," muttered Jarvis dazedly. "I couldn't have been dreaming, and yet"—He looked at his watch. "It's certainly up to me or the tobacco I've been smoking! Nine o'clock when I turned in, and now it's 9:30. Even in these swift times they don't turn storms off and on at that suit." Chagrined, he walked over to the place under his balcony where the waves had tossed the dead man for a brief instant before they reclaimed him. Jarvis had watched it with his own eyes, and he had seen the following waves heap sand about a small, dark object the man had left behind. There should be a little sand mound here—and there was! The painter was too excited to return to his bed; therefore he went into the cottage, found an old fashioned lantern, in which he stuck a candle end, took up a coal shovel and went back to the beach. Here by the candle's dim light he grimly dug into the shallow heap of sand. It was a fool's business, he told himself as he delved downward to where the sand was soaking wet and the water oozed up into little wells and impeded his labor. At last came rags and shreds of something that might have been an oilskin coat, and afterward, deeply embedded in the sand, Järvis found a small water soaked box bound with iron bands. This was treasure trove. Järvis hastened to the cottage and with hammer and chisel pounded away at the little box until its rotted sides fell inward and the iron bands crumbled to rusty flakes. Pitiful indeed was the little treasure contained in the tiny chest—a sailor's keepsakes. Bits of coral and pretty shells and stones, a woman's lovely face smiling from a tarnished frame, a baby's first photograph, the mother's loving inscription penned on the back; a few letters, intimately tender, from wife to husband; a copy of a will, a few months' wages tied in little oil-skin sacks, the owner's name on the inside of a memorandum book—James Petrel, master of the freighter Sea Nymph—that was all. So the man who had been thrown on the beach as revealed to Jarvis in the vision—for such the painter believed his strange adventure to be—must have been the captain of the ill fated vessel, On the morrow he would inquire concerning the wreck of the Sea Nymph and try to find the relatives of James Petrel. After that Jarvis tumbled into bed and went to sleep, wondering why he of all men had been chosen to bring to light the long burled box. He dreamed about the curly headed baby, whose charming smile pursued him through his dreams. "Yes," said the oldest cottager when Jarvis guardedly made inquiries concerning wrecks on the coast. "It was as far back as 1885 that the Sea Nymph went ashore off here. She got on the shoals, but the seas were riding so high she didn't stick. Back she went, and they simply swallowed her up, so the story goes. Bits of cargo floated ashore long afterward—one or two bodies of seamen. That was all. Divers never found trace of her. It was the worst storm ever known on the coast. After that they built the breakwater and the lighthouse. At that time there was an old fisherman's hut on the spot where your cottage now stands. Tradition has it that the old man lured the steamer to her ruin. If he did it was small profit to him, for the storm washed his hut into the sea, and he went with it. The man who owns your cottage once found a copper canister filled with choice smoking tobacco buried in the sand near by. It pleased him to resurrect it and smoke it. He quilt using it after awhile because, he claimed, it gave him the nightmare—said the Sea Nymph went ashore every night in his dreams. If there's any of it left you better not smoke it." added the oldest cottager whimsically. "It's all gone," replied Jarvis, with a cryptic smile. And this is the treasure that Jarvis found. When he had traced the widow of the luckless Captain Petrel he found her prosperously married to one of the ship's owners, while the curly headed baby with the charming smile had grown to be the loveliest girl Jarvis had ever met. As a consequence Doris Petrel became the artist's wife. In addition, the memory of the vision that had come to him that night clung so persistently in his mind that 'e transferred the stormy scene to canvas with every detail of that wild night of thunder and lightning, hurricane winds and mammoth waves, the ghostlike vessel shuddering to her water grave, the package on the beach half obliterated by the sand. Next to Doris herself, this picture proved to be Jarvis' treasure, for it made his fortune. —— Published at” “1109 ‘Eye St, N. W., Washington, 9 “Eye St, Ne AW W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR.

MARSHALL ORGANIZ - ING. 7 Mr. Napoleon Marshall gives it out that he is engaged in organ- izing the colored voters of New Jersey for Democracy. It is giv- en out from another source that he is on the Democratic payroll at $100 per month to do this or- ganizing of colored voters. This latter statement, except a3 to the amount, was unnecessary for the . reason that no one was sufficient- ly demented as to corisider Mr. Marshall such un unselfish race man as to lend_his limited _in- fluence to anything for nothing. -And every one knows that. when a Negro condescends to work and vote for a party that has opposed every measure enacted into law for the advancement and_protec- tiun of the race, he is doing it for the filthy and tainted cash. Mr, Marshall never was squeam- ish” about his conscience. The very fact that Mr. Marshall is paid for his doubtful service is a guarantee that his influence is lit- tle or nothing, and that the num- ber of Negro’ proselytes he will make for Democracy will be lim- ited to the venal class. Mr. Mar- shall, it is assumed, is organizing for Gov, Wilson, of New Jersey, who aspires to be the next Demo- cratic candidate for the Presi- dency. As president of Prince. ton College: Mr. Wilson put the sign up, “No Negro Students “Admitted.” As Governor of New Jersey he has been scrupulously careful not to appoint a single Negro to office. To attempt to organize for such a candidate. and for such a party as Gov. Wil- son represents, suggests that. the Negro assigned to the ignoble job ought to be on the salary roll, and at a much higher salary than $100 per month. Mr. Marshall asa Harvard graduate, and as a supposed lawyer, might employ his talents in ‘a better cause. The Democrats buy Negro votes for cash, when they can get them at all, just as they sold Negroes for cash prior to 1860. ~ DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY If a few of the colored Demo- crats so-called will Kindly read the excerpt from the speech of S. <A. Roddenbery, of Georgia, per- thaps they would reflect for a mo- ment and conclude that they are asses as well as fools. Now, in the face of many such sentiments as expressed in the speech of the gentleman from Georgia, colored men, or a few of them, continue ta declare for the Democratic party. Here is a Southern Dem- ocrat in the House of Represen- tatives who declares that he has no respect for a colored man. He wants them discharged from of. fice and their places filled by "white men, no matter how conr. petent they are and how meritor- tous their services are. This Georgia Democrat is not aware that there are fecble minded and weak colored veterans who are entitled to the same consideration as white veterans. Then again, with such talk, we hear every day, what encouragement is there for colored men to support the Democratie party? The Demo- cratic managers will do anything to induce weak colored men to support their party. and what is the result? . After a Democratic victory the colored brother -in- vades’ the Democratic headquar- ters without result. Of course, they get promises, but a very few offices. The gentleman from Georgia comes from a section of the South where colored men are not allowed to sit down, and where they are not respected. Hé wants white men to fill places that colored men have won by, merit. In short, he doesn’t want, a colored man to fill a place that’ a entitle him to sit down, | * oS NEW ORLEANS FIZ. | Did you ever drink a New. Or- leans fiz? No?

New Democratic Negro Convert An- swered—Hot Shot Pierces Cunning- ham's Brain. : To the Editor of The Beé: It has been some time since I ‘have taken advantage of your generosity by taking up space in your valuable paper. And I must say that The Bee has been very generous towards me. for which Iam very grateful; and some day I hope to be able to show. my appreciation. But this 1s, not what I started out to say. My intention is to make a few remarks in reply to our good Democratic friend, Mr. Joseph C. Cunningham, who, it seems, has been truly converted, and must needs spread the good news among the err ing colored brethren so that they may’ come from beneath the protecting shelter of the G. O. P. elephant and hie themselves to the very uncertain and rather fimsy shadow of the Dem- ocratic donkey's ears, being very care- ful not to get too near that ill-tem- pered animal's heels.

I don't see anything to rave about, but facts are facts, and it is a plain, ‘glamoring, undeniable fact that there is a great’ big majority in the Democratic party, both in and out of Congress, who.think that any Gov- ernment position above that of labor- er, scrub-woman, messenger and gen- eral lackey, is too good for the most highly educated, cultured and refined Negro, in this or any other country. No sensible person considers it dis- graceful for a thrifty Negro Demo- crat or Republican to wash spittoons, especially if they are good at the bus- iness, and are doing it until something better turns up. But, as Mr. Cun- ningham imphes, 'tis mighty embar- rassing for the kettle to be continually hagged by.the old black pot ‘about be- ing black; all the more so if the pot happens to be pretty full of the very tempting toothsome food that the empty hanging hungry kettle is crav- ing for. No one denies that the Ne- gro has friends in the Democratic party, but politically speaking, they are few and far between. It is also true that he has received some pretty heavy blows below the belt by some of his so-called friends in the Repub- Jtican party, but that old Democratic donkey ‘will have to have his cars trimmed, his heels chained, and a | good strong muzzle, securely fastened over his mouth, before the Negro can |safély trust his’ political fortunes with him in preference to the G. O. P. cle- phant. I, too, was born and reared in the |“Sunny” South, but it is certainly news to me to hear that Lilly White Republicans were responsible for the disfranchising and jim crow laws of the South. [ certainly hope that the Jcolored men who are spending so | much time in,the schools and colleges {will haye backbone enough to stand and say, “A man’s a man,” and that they will learn enough to not cast their votes for any party or individual Jthat stands for distranchisement, jim Jcrowism and segregation. “The’peo- ple generally” need have no. fear i ‘|they follow ‘the guidance of the lead- +] ing Negro newspapers. Yes, spittoon washers are spittoon washers, but methinks that there is Jan echo among the hills that goes '| sounding through the valleys like dis- Jtant thunder: the difference. my |friend, the difference between Demo- cratic spittoon washers and Republi- can spitfoon washers is that colored Democratic spittoon washers _ are liable to keep on washing until either they or. the bottom of the spittoons Jare worn, out, while the colored ‘Re- publicans who do the same, have hopes at least of getting something better some day. As to the duty of the colored press, I haye yet to learn of any newspaper, of any consequence, that does not advocate work, work. all kinds of work as the only’ means of salvation for the Negro outside of religion. Enough of this spittoon business, Mr. Editor. If I keep it up this hot weather T will soon be nothing but a big ball of expectoration myscif, JAMES CONWAY JACKSON. Public Men And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac) | I dropped in Bob Waring’s office the other day, and before my pres- ence was observed, discovered the Negro Sylvester, ‘Blackstone and Charles Dickens all rolled into one virile being, abstractly and earnestly gazing at a photo of a stunning bit of femininity whose raven locks were, figuratively, floating out from under a gainsboro hat decorated with a huge ‘willow plume. Sly old Bob, whom we thought was callous to feminine graces and waists, and proof against the smiles and charms of all descendants of the fifth rib, seems to have fell a victim to the artful dodges of “melady” love. Well, it’s about time. The top of Bob’s head is getting to be as thinly populated with hair as the north pole is with white men, and corpulency is setting in with a vengeance, all of which is a sure sign that old age is coming along tolerably fast. It’s now or ‘never with him, and if rumor is not a mere spring freshet, his _ex-bluecoatship will soon be soliloquizing—"As we see it is all a mistaken identity.” If Bob Waring, who practices law from ne. ‘essity, and writes an occasional novel from conceitedness, should renounce bachelorhood and tie up with one of those figures we see in a hobble on the Rialto, the rest of these bachelors who have had their habitat in Wash- ington since Hector was a pup, ought to take courage, and get themselves a shrew. *y* Speaking about Robert Louis Ste- phenson Waring, who after many threats, broke into the, literary cir- cle with a novel novel, reminds me that the author-lawyer was, and 1s, possessed with an ambition to suc- ceed Jim Cobb as special Assistant District Attorney. Some men, no matter what you feed them on,’ will chase phantoms. Now the author- lawyer is chasing the ficetest phantom and the darndest will-o-wisp that ¢ver oozed out of imagination when he nurses an ambition to displace Jim Cobb, the Louisiana bachelor with a fancy for deep red ties. If ever a man had a strangle hold on his job that man is the one who uses “Jim” for a given name, and connects it to a name that 1s suggestive of a fel- low who gets one or two base hits in every game. Bob never gave any thought to the requisites for the job. It never occurred to him that his practice, like the skirts the women wear now, is very limited to warrant such an ambition, and it never oc- curred to him that as yet he hasn't written his name, so awfully darn high on the barrister’s rov. He just got it into his bald pate that he- wanted it, and so he asked for it. Some how 1 really like his nerve. If you haven't got nerve you won't be able to sit up at nights to watch the stars go out, or linger abstractly in front of a photo of some bewitching bit of femininity. It takes nerve to de anything once. That Bob's got the nerve argues that some day, when he disabuses his mind’of the imagination that he’s destined for the Charles Dickens class, and chases away the gap-filling idea that he's created tc regulate all men and all things. he'll fit, in some niche nicely. He's z bright limb of the Waring: tree. Ir fact you never saw a Waring that was not bright—it’s a bright family But one or two of them, especially Bob and his brother Jim, are obsessec with the “better-than-thou” notion This notion has put many a_ brain; chap down and out. If Bob Warin, harnesses his brain motor to law strictly, and unhitches himself fron |the narrow, one-seated envy hearse |there's no ‘reason on earth why h |shouldn't be heard from, for it’s ir him to be a big noise around here 1 he curves his balls right. He's go the brains, and he’s got the energy and he’s a mighty peert looking chiay too, and looks and brains hitched to gether can give a fellow the imsid track in life's race. : ees “How Tong should a man go with ; woman before he marries her?” Thi questién was put to me by a vision it white while te in the bow of th late River Queen coming up the Po |tomac from’ St. Luke's picnic. I tok her vision in white that “it all de |pends upon the exigencies of the sit Juation that has a bearing on the fu jture.” That philosophical, Huxley Jladen reply caused her 36-inch bust t {heave like a blacksmith’s bellows Jand she looked far away, as if trying }}to peer through the curtains of futur Jin an effort to_catch a glimpse of th ‘|hereafter. Suddenly she came to, an with her madonna face upturned t | mine, whispered, in soft purring tones ‘|like the swish of Armond Scott’ }}auto: “Would ‘six months be lon; Jenough?” I wiped the perspiratior {| from my Websterian brow, and in m: ‘Imost charmnig tones, a la Sumne || Wormley, said “dearest Asphasia, si Jmonths wouldn't be long enough t I]get acquainted with a Washingto1 {girl's fancies, Why, I know som t}men here who have been going witl Jthe same girl, regularly, consistently “some nervous men.” I like to accommodate a friend, and sometimes I'll make a sacrifice to do it, in emergency cases, but last week I got the jolt of my life. I have been figuring for three weeks how I was going to get away for a quiet little Test in some sequestrated spot far from the maddening crowd. I hadn't much to go on, and I couldn't go without at least buying a pair or two of white duck trousers and a pair of canvass shoes. While I was contem- plating a week or two of rest, a dear friend of mine, one of those “stick- est closer than a brother” friend, called around to my house and said he was in sore distress; must have twenty-five legal tenders by 1 o'clock; dire ‘necessity; his honor was at stake; and promised to pay back swiftly. I melted, went down in my wallet and passed him over $25, all the while my vision of a vacation beating itself to death in the etherial ‘blue. However, I could not go back ‘on a friend, when he was in distress. He would not tell me what his distress was; only said, “Old Pal, some day T'll ‘tell you the whole’ story—not now; haven't the heart.” I thought of death in his family, of a ten"per- center pressing a chattel mortgage; thought of a debt of honor, and even conjured up thoughts of a military wedding in which my bosom friend might be the unwilling but enforced groom. Two days later the mystery was solved; the dire distress was di- vulged. I received a souvenir postal card from him at Atlantic City saying: “Having a fine time. Wish you would come over. Water's fine.” “What did I do after I read it?” Oh, nothing, just went down to Gas- kins’ and bought enough forgetful fluid to make me think I was rich, land sailing in my own yacht. “What did I say?” Can't repeat the words here, but when I meet my friend again, I'll repeat them to him with emphasis. AT ATLANTIC CITY (Continued from page 1.) tant one meet William the Peace Maker. If not, then it happened just the same and with good effect. Mr. ‘Taft came upon the stand, and. while the 18,000 waited, swapped talk with the Dotcor of Tuskeegee and the world. Mr. Washington reached back jand brought the Bishop to the front; there was a general bowing, “hand- shaking and exchanging of greetings. The trick was turned. On the next night, at the banquet of the Business League, the Bishop made public his change of heart and took the chance to say he thought his fight had brought some good. It had made the Republicans take notice. It made them appomt Lewis. He also told of he little trap, as he styled it, and that he had been the man to shake the tree. In fact, he had not had time to watch all plums which fell. The Bishop served notice that in matters political he intended to follow the ad- vice of Dr. Washington. I think the statement, which deponent makes on affidavit, is about as good notice of transfer of policies on the part of the ‘Bishop as any one may expect where those two politicians are concerned. Atlantic City Business League Holds Reception and Banquet. On Saturday evening the local Bus iness League held a reception’ anc |banquet in honor of Dr. and Mrs | Washington in Fitzgerald's Auditor Jium.

By vir- tue of this high standing, Mr. Me- Dowell was awarded the beautiful medal offered by the Council of Up- per Classmen of the University for the highest average in Constitutional Law. “Incidentally, this is the first medal ever offered in the law school, and considering the keen, yet friendly competition for it, the winner may well be extremely happy over gaining it. Mr. McDowell comes from the golden State of California, and will Practice in the District for a while with Mr. Arniond W. Scott, one of our leading colored lawyers, and will ultimately ‘settle in his home. city, Los Angeles. Admitted to Bar, July 11. Augustus McCoy Hanson, Alonzo Wilbur McEwen, James C_| Waters, Jz.

R. A. Hart, 61st Street and Eastern Avenue, Fairmount Heights, D. C. The Committee on Arrangements worked faithfully and looked for a great success. Indeed, the affair was the most successful and patronized by a larger number of persons than any anniversary ever held here. More than 500 persons were present and "everybody was happy." We are glad to note the presence of a great majority of the good citizens of Fairmount Heights, also many distinguished visitors from Washington and elsewhere. A full account will be given in the next issue of your very valuable paper. The citizens of Fairmount Heights were fortunate in having Dr. Booker T.

Willis, the newly elected pastor of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, may continue to preach, according to a decision rendered Monday by Justice Anderson, who declined to interfere with the result of the election. The court held he was without jurisdiction in the matter and dismissed a rule issued on the complaint of the unsuccessful faction of the church. Attorney's Ralston, Siddons & Richardson and Thomas L. Jones represented the new pastor, while Attorney's M. N. Richardson, W. L. Pollard, John Ridout and Jabez Lee appeared for the plaintiffs.

Platinized glass consists of a piece of glass coated with an exceedingly thin layer of a liquid charged with platinum and then raised to a red heat. The platinum becomes united to the glass in such a way as to form an odd kind of mirror. The glass has not really lost its transparency, and yet if one places it against a wall and looks at it he sees its image as in an ordinary looking glass. But when light is allowed to come through the glass from the other side, as when it is placed in a window, it appears perfectly transparent, like ordinary glass. By constructing a window of platinized glass one could stand close behind the panes in an illuminated room and behold clearly everything going on outside, while passersby looking at the window would behold only a fine mirror or set of mirrors in which their own figures would be reflected while the person inside remained invisible. In France various tricks have been contrived with the aid of this glass. In one a person seeing what appears to be an ordinary mirror approaches it to gaze upon himself. A sudden change in the mechanism sends light through the glass from the back, wheseupon it instantly becomes transparent, and the startled spectator finds himself confronted by some grotesque figure that had been hidden behind the glass.-Harper's Weekly. ORIGIN OF LLOYD'S. Humble Beginning of Europe's Great Maritime Agency. Two centuries ago a man who had a cargo to send to the Mediterranean contrived to get rid of some of the risk by inducing a friend to take an interest with him. It was necessary to write out a statement of contract to which the guarantors subscribed. This was the first underwriting. These two men happened to be frequenters of Lloyd's coffee house in London, which was a favorite place for the merchants of the town to gather to discuss business or to gossip. Others immediately saw the advantage of the scheme which their colleagues had devised, and on the next voyage the risk was parceled out among a larger number of the patrons of the coffee house. Out of this small beginning has grown the great European maritime agency, still bearing the name of the humble coffee house proprietor, and which not only writes risks on vessels, but rates them and publishes their arrivals at every port the world over, no matter how small or how remotely situated."Annals of the American Academy." Where Abraham Fished. Mrs. Victoria de Bunsen in "The Soul of a Turk" relates a legend concerning Abraham which will be new to many readers. She learned of it while at Edessa, the traditional Ur of the Chaldees. She was shown there a large oblong tank of water so filled with fishes resting just below the surface of the water that their fins and backs seemed almost wedged together so as to form "an almost solid layer of silvery life." "The guardian of the mosque throws some meal into the water, and the fish jump high to catch it, a great living pyramid, of which those which jump the highest form the pinnacle. The tradition is that Abraham as a child fished in the tank; hence the fish were considered sacred. No single one has been caught or killed to this day. Indeed, death would overtake the man who transgressed this law." Protection From Lightning. Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the problem of securing protection from lightning consisted in finding the best method of dissipating the enormous energy of the flash, but that it was not wise to get rid of the energy too quickly. A thin iron wire is considered the best lightning conductor from the electrical point of view, but it is almost impossible to protect a building from lightning unless it is completely enveloped in a metal cage. It is by no means true that a building is safe when provided with a conductor reaching up to the highest part of the building. The Origin of Grocer. Grocer appears in Holinshed's Chronicle, 1580, as "grosser," and in other mediaeval records it is sometimes written "engrosser" and was applied to the splicers and pepperers who were wholesale dealers in various spices—that is, who dealt en gros—in large quantities, as distinguished from "regators," who were retail dealers. The Grocers' company first adopted the word grocer in 1573, when the splicers and pepperers allied themselves into a single corporation—London Express. A Useless Question. "They have named the baby after Uncle Belshazzar." "Has Uncle Belshazzar money?" "Do you suppose they liked the name?"—Pittsburg Post. Cruel. Mrs. Benham—Every time I sing to the baby he cries. Benham—He gets his ability as a musical critic from my side of the house.—New York Press. Prosperity demands of us, more prudence and moderation than adversity. Village Sorcerer Performs Rites Over Curious Decoy Used by the Native Fishermen of Hawaii. "Lau melomelo" is the name of a docoy used by the native fishermen of Hawaii. It is made of the hardest wood to be found on the islands and is carved and rubbed till it assumes the shape of a club with a little knob at the smaller end, to which the line is tled. The club is from one to three feet long. A village sorcerer performs certain rites over it over a sacred fire. After this is done the club is magic, and the fisherman must be extremely careful of it. If a woman should step over it or enter a canoe in which it lies the club would lose all its power and would be useless ever afterward. After the club has been charmed the fisherman mixes candlenut and cocoanut meat, bakes it and ties the mixture in a wrapper of cocoanut fiber. At the fishing grounds the club is covered with the olly juice of the stuff and is then lowered carefully to the bottom. The scent of the baked nut meat attracts certain kinds of fish, which soon gather and begin to nibble at the club. As soon as enough fish are around the decoy a small bag shaped net is lowered very gently until its mouth is just over the club. The latter is then pulled up carefully and cunningly till it is within the bag. The fish are so eager for the stuff with which the club is covered that they follow it into the net without fear. As soon as all the fish are in it a fisherman dives and closes the mouth of the net, whereupon the rest haul it up quickly. THE MIDDLE AGED MAN. Finding Happiness In a Life That to Youth Is Irksome. "Younger people," said the middle aged man, "want variety. They want to be always on the go. Routine galls them. They hate to have to do the same thing over and over and over again day after day. "They want to go somewhere or do something different all the time. Older people are happiest in a life of routine, most disturbed when variety is thrust upon them. "For myself I welcome my daily task, endlessly repeated and always the same. I should be lost without it; disturbed if it were changed. A life of habit suits me best. I like the old scenes—familiar friendly surroundings. I don't want to change. "Nor do I want much outside pleasure. In fact, I think I should be best suited with none. I like my groove. It fits me, and I fit it. I don't want change. I just want to be left alone to work in my accustomed ways. It is in my groove that I am most comfortable. I like a life of labor and routine. "And could there come to one a greater blessing? Nature and the customs of men enforce routine upon us whether we like it or not." In youth this irks us, but in our maturer years in a life of routine, in the undisturbed enjoyment of familiar labor, we may find our greatest happiness."—New York Sun. The One to Pay. When she was Lady Randolph Churchill, Mrs. George Cornwallis-West consented to electioneer for Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett in his first parliamentary campaign. Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett was married to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, a very rich woman, who was nearly forty years his senior. Lady Randolph, with her beauty and charms, did splendid work for the candidate. To a group of farmers she said one day: "Won't you promise me to vote for Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett?" "My lady," said a red faced farmer, with a chuckle, "we'll all vote for him if every vote 'll be paid for with a kiss." "Thank you very much," said Lady Randolph. "Your offer is accepted. I'll send for the Baroness Burdett-Coutts at once." Deserted Their Towns. So late as the end of the seventeenth century the inhabitants of Ceylon were in the habit of deserting their towns. Their customs are described in the narrative of Captain Robert Knox, who for nineteen years, from 1600 to 1670, was a captive among them. He speaks of several towns as lying desolate owing to the fact that their inhabitants had forsaken them. This they did if many of them fell sick, and two or three died soon after one another, thinking that it was a visitation of the evil one. Some of them came back when they thought the evil spirits had departed. A Queser Creature Queer that while the male seal is a bull and the female a cow their youngster is not called a calf, but a pup. Why "seal fisherles," too, when the seal is not a fish? And why should the seal's breeding place be styled a rookery? It looks as if this strange creature is only a fish in common parlance while at sea. On land (or ice) he is classed popularly with animals or birds.—Exchange. Gratitude. Kind Lady — My poor man, what would you do with the money if I gave you a penny? Tired Hobo—Madam, I'd buy a picture postcard an' write yer a note o' thanks.—Cleveland Leader. Ignorance when it is voluntary is criminal—Johnson. THE WHITE WASH. The Reason For Its Presence on the Hudson Bay Company's Boat Explained by the Captain. It is or was a rule of the Hudson Bay company that no woman be allowed passage on its boats. One day some years ago as a steamer of the company neared one of the northernmost ports a string of white garments was seen stretched across the deck. The watchers were amazed, for to them the wash line suggested only the presence of a woman aboard the boat. Comment was freely made of the scandal that would ensue and the shakeup that would follow. When the boat docked the line of washing had disappeared—still another proof of the scandal. Later one of the landsmen said to the captain: "Why, how did it happen that you carried a woman passenger this trip?" "There was never a woman along the whole voyage," was the indignant answer. "What do you mean?" "If there was no woman aboard where did all that white wash come from?" was the triumphant reply. The captain looked puzzled for a moment, and then he laughed. "Oh," he said, "and didn't we have Lord Strathconn, the governor himself, along with us on this trip? And every day doesn't he insist on having his clean white shirt, no matter how far north we are? That's the white wash you saw strung along deck. And, what's more, doesn't his lordship insist upon having his London paper laid beside his plate every morning, no matter if it is a year old?"—Pearson's. A MASTER OF METAPHOR. It Must Have Relieved Him to Get This Out of His System. A water consumer in a certain city, whose supply had been turned off because he wouldn't pay, wrote to the department as follows: "In the matter of shutting off the water on unpaid bills your company is fast becoming a regular crystallized Russian bureaucracy, running in a groove and deaf to the appeals of reform. There is no use of your trying to impugn the verity of this indictment by shaking your official heads in the teeth of your own deeds. "If you will persist in this kind of thing a widespread confagration of the populace will be so imminent that it will require only a spark to let loose the dogs of war in our midst. Will you persist in hurling the cornerstone of our personal liberty to your wolfish hounds of collectors thirsting for its blood? If you persist the first thing you know you will have the charlot of a justly indignant revolution rolling along in our midst and gnashing its teeth as it rolls. "If your rascaly collectors are permitted to continue coming to our doors with unblushing footsteps, with cloaks of hypocritical compunction in their mouths, and compel payment from your patrons this policy will result in cutting the wool off the sheep that lays the golden egg until you have pumped it dry, and then farewell, a long farewell, to our vaunted prosperity."—Everybody's. When to Eat Fruit To obtain the most benefit from the succulent fruits they should be eaten at the end of the chief meal. Bananas are an exception and may be eaten with any meal. They are very acceptable cut in thin slices and eaten with bread and butter. Stewed fruits often have their virtues wasted through being eaten at the wrong time. Six or eight stewed prunes half an hour before breakfast are beneficial; so are stewed figs or stewed apples eaten before breakfast. Peeled oranges cut into thin slices so that the juice is set free, with sugar strewn over the slices, are not unlike pineapple and form a highly efficacious aid to digestion. Grapes should never be eaten except after the chief meal of the day. Taken when the stomach is comparatively empty, they are a specially harmful fruit.—Family Doctor. Bular of Russia's Title The general allusion to the ruler of Russia as the czar is, strictly speaking, incorrect. His official title is "emperor and autocrat." Czar is the old Russian word for lord or prince and was abandoned by Peter the Great on his triumphal return from Poltava, his crowning victory over Charles XII. of Sweden. Since then the Russian monarch has been officially entitled emperor, and at the congress of Vienna in 1815 his right to the imperial term was admitted by the powers, with the proviso that, though he was emperor, he had no precedence over the kings of western Europe.-St. James' Gazette.

In an entertaining account of a dinner party at Prince Bismarck's Berlin residence which is given in the recollections of the Livonian journalist Eckhardt the following, which was a part of the table talk, shows the host in a new light: The conversation had turned on Bismarck's early days at Frankfort, and Eckhardt asked whether at the table d'hote of the Hotel d'Angiotère his host had ever met Schopenhauer. "No," said Bismarck; "he had no use for me nor I for him. Moreover, I have never had time or desire to occupy myself with philosophy. While I was a student Schopenhauer was still unknown. I know absolutely nothing about his system." Another guest, an admirer of Schopenhauer, then joined enthusiastically in the conversation and explained that the philosopher's great merit consisted in the discovery of the fact that will power was the indestructible essence of the mind of man and that intelligence was only of secondary importance. "That may very well be true," said Prince Bismarck, "at least as far as I am concerned, for I have often noticed that my will had already come to a 'decision while my mind had not yet finished thinking about the same subject." VENETIAN WOMEN. The Whims of Fashion Hold No Terrors For Them. The women of Venice are absolutely free from the rule which Dame Fashion exercises over their sisters elsewhere. They care nothing for modes. With them the length of the skirt remains always the same, neither short nor long, and they always wear plainly made dark dresses, black stockings and the heelless slippers of the east. Hats are unknown. The universal outdoor wrap for all ages and all sizes is the black shawl, with a deep silken fringe. It is folded with a short point above and a long one below, and sometimes it envelopes the figure from head to foot. It is never fastened at the throat, and when it slips off it is gathered up with one out-stretched arm, which makes the spectator think of a big bird stretching its wing. In their attire the women of Venice are independent, only wearing local clothing, but with feminine inconsistency they are thoroughly up to date in the matter of hairdressing, the style of their collarures changing from time to time, according to the vogue of the moment in London and Paris. Identified. William M. Chase, the artist, was a picturesque figure, dressing in clothes that had a certain originality, though they conformed more or less to the prevailing fashions. On one occasion Chase on his way home stepped into a little wine shop and ordered a jug of claret of a special brand sent to his house. The lad who brought it came to the front door an hour afterward, when the artist had already arrived. "Some wine," he said curtly. The maid, knowing there was yet plenty in the cellar and believing the lad had made a mistake, said she was sure it was not for that house and did the boy remember the name of the man who ordered it. The boy didn't. "Then," said the servant, "you've come to the wrong place; we never ordered wine!" At this moment the boy spied Chase's famous hat on the hall table. "Say," he asked, "does that hat live here?" "Yes," said the amused mald. "Then," said the boy triumphantly, "here's where the wine belongs!"-Argonaut. Not For Fashion's Sake. The criminal law of England was formerly marked by indiscriminating severity. The theft of an article valued above 10 shillings was punished with death. In writing about "Sweet Hampstead and Its Associations" Mrs. White records a pleasant thing of Lord Mansfield, who, as a rule, leaned to the side of mercy. It was Lord Mansfield who directed a jury to find a stolen trinket less in value than 10 shillings in order that the thief might escape capital punishment. To this the jeweler who prosecuted demurred, asserting that the fashion of the thing had cost him twice that money. "Gentlemen," replied the judge, with grave solemnity, "we ourselves stand in need of mercy. Let us not hang a man for the fashion's sake!" MaoMahon's Epigram. When Marshal MacMahon in the Crimean campaign took the Malakoff by storm and wrote his celebrated dispatch, "J'y suis; j'y reste" ("Here I am; here I stay"), these words made him famous all over the world. Yet his friends said that the worthy soldier had written them in the most matter of fact manner, with no thought of phrase making. The most surprised person over the success of this epigram was MacMahon himself. Helping Her Dut. "Have you a young chicken? I am rather green at cooking."

For some years past I have had in mind to invite here from different parts of the world—from Europe, Africa, the West Indies and North and South America—persons who are actively interested or directly engaged as missionaries, or otherwise, in the work that is going on in Africa and elsewhere for the education and upbuilding of Negro peoples. For this purpose it has been determined to hold at Tuskegee Institute, -FOR- Does it can easily without bumping? Is it straight? Does it smooth out nicely? Can you do it up in any of the charming styles, as it will stay, and make you proud of it? Is it long and full of life? If you cannot say YES to all of the above questions, than you need Alabama, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, April 17, 18 and 19, 1912, a little more than a year from this time, an international conference on the Negro. Such a conference as this will offer the opportunity for those engaged in any kind of service in Africa, or the countries above mentioned, to become more intimately acquainted with the work and the problems of Africa and these other countries. Such a meeting will be valuable and helpful, also, in so far as it will give opportunity for a general interchange of ideas in organizing and systematizing the work of education of the native peoples in Africa and elsewhere and the preparation of teachers for that work. Wider knowledge of the work that each is doing should open means of co-operation that do not now exist. The object of calling this conference at Tuskegee Institute is to afford an opportunity for studying the methods employed in helping the Negro people of the United States, with a view of deciding to what extent Tuskegee and Hampton methods may be applied to conditions in these countries, as well as to conditions in Africa. It is hoped that numbers of people representing the different governments interested in Africa and the West Indies, as well as representatives from the United States and the countries of South America, will decide to attend this conference. Especially is it urged that missionary and other workers in these various countries be present and take an active part in the deliberations of the conference. It is desirable, in any case, to have any suggestions as to what might be done to make the work of the conference more helpful to all concerned. The names of persons who would like to be present, with whom you are acquainted, will be appreciated, and through you they are invited to be present and take part in the deliberations of the conference. Those who come to Tuskegee properly accredited will be welcomed and entertained as guests of the institution, and will be under no expense during their stay here. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Principal.

Sea Mist Covers Water Only, but London Fog Penetrates Rooms and Shuts Out Light. The fog of London and the fog of the sea alike discompose traffic, and omnibuses and steamships alike have had to lay to for safety. But while the London fog gets into your innest room and baffles even the electric light—though the candle comes out triumphant curiously—the densest fog at sea does not disturb the saloon or the stateroom. Why is that? The word "fog" has not been traced farther back than the sixteenth century, but the thing was known in the early years of the fourteenth. The commons, with the prelates and nobles visiting London for the parliaments and on other occasions, united to petition Edward I. to compel the burning only of dry wood and charcoal, as the growing use of sea coal corrupted the air with its stink and smoke, to the great prejudice and detriment of health. In 1308 the king prohibited the use of coal. Heavy ransom and fines were inflicted for disobediene. In the case of recalcitrant brewers, dyers and other artificers the furnaces and kilns were destroyed. But the restriction was evidently removed, for in 1308 $250—probably equal to about $4,000 now—was paid from the exchequer for wood and coal for the coronation of Edward II.—London Graphic. MODERN BUSINESS. The Big Jobs Demand Hustlers Who Are Gentlemen. A notable change has taken place in American business methods within the last decade. Increasingly men of large affairs are asking when a young man is recommended for a big job, "Is he a gentleman?" This is significant in two ways. It means that the big business men are themselves gentlemen and like to deal with men who speak their own language and that American business methods have grown to be such that the gentleman has an advantage. There was a time when a man who was a hustler could be a cad if he liked and it did not hurt his chances much. But that time has passed. The big business men of today want young men who are tactful, intelligent, independent, yet unassuming; who would know how to talk to a diplomat and be at home in a good club; who could be trusted to behave kindly, honorably and discreetly in any situation of life; who, in short, have as their ideal the old, never changing ideal of the gentleman. Not everybody can define it, but everybody knows it at sight. The gentleman, in short, can work along the line of least resistance, and that is why he is wanted.—Bookkeeper. An Open Giver Harold's father was in the habit of giving $1 a Sunday to the church. This was put in a numbered envelope in the collection plate and the amount credited to him on the church books. Mr. T. was away for the summer and on his return inclosed his arrears in the envelope and intrusted it to Harold to put on the plate. When the little boy came home from church he sald proudly, "I put an awful lot of money on the plate this morning—morn'n anybody else, I guess." "You got the envelope there all right?" asked his father carelessly, for Harold had been almost afraid to carry so much money. "Oh, yes," he said, "but I took the envelope off when I got there and just put the money on the plate in my hand. Nobody'd have known how much I gave if I'd left it in the envelope." Elephant Threnodies The natives of certain portions of south central Africa, says the Duchess of Aosta in Harper's Weekly, look on the death of an elephant as an event. They attach an almost religious aspect to it. "As soon as the animal stalked is stretched out on the ground the hunters climb upon the huge, still warm body and there perform a dance, gesticulating and shaking their guns, accompanied by a sort of litany, in which they extol the animal and his qualities, his strength, his size, his cunning; then they praise the skill of the hunter, his prompt eye, his accurate shot. And this song is just murmured, as if they were afraid that if they raised their voices they would attract the curse of the spirit which has just left the animal and is still floating round him." How Parchment Came to Be Used. When the literary jealousy of the Egyptians caused them to stop the supply of papyrus, the king of Pergamos, a city in Asia Minor, introduced the use of sheepskin in a form called, from the place of its invention, pergamona, whence our word parchment is believed to be derived. Vellum, a finer article, made from calfskin, was also used. Many of the books done on vellum in the middle ages were transcribed by monks, and often it took years to complete a single copy. Proof.

Whatever your lot in life, keep joy with you, says Orison Swett Marden in Success Magazine. It is a great healer. Sorrow, worry, jealousy, envy, bad temper, create friction and grind away the delicate human machinery so that the brain loses its cunning.

"No Business Troubles Allowed Here." These are good home building mottoes. These are good home building motives. When you have had a perplexing day, when things have gone wrong with you and you go home at night exhausted, discouraged, blue, instead of making your home miserable by going over your troubles and trials just bury them. Instead of dragging them home and making yourself and your family unhappy with them and spoiling the whole evening, just lock everything that is disagreeable in your office. Just resolve that your home shall be a place for bright pictures and pleasant memories, kindly feelings toward everybody and "a corking good time" generally. If you do this you will be surprised to see how your vocation or business wrinkles will be ironed out in the morning and how the crooked things will be straightened. THE COTTON GIN. Whitney Got the Idea From the Work of an Old Negro. Ell Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, got the germ of his great idea from seeing through the interstices of a hut an old negro work a hand saw among the freshly picked cotton stored within. The teeth of the saw tore the lint from the seed easily and quickly, and young Whitney (he was barely thirteen at the time) realized at once that a machine working a number of similar saws simultaneously would revolutionize the cotton growing industry. He said nothing to anybody, but set to work building models and experimenting. His difficulties were enormous, for he not only had to make his own wheels, cogs, etc., but he had also first to forge his own tools and even to manufacture the paint wherewith to color his many plans and drawings. But he succeeded in the end, and, though the outbreak of war and other hindrances prevented the invention from being actually placed upon the market until many years afterward, the first complete cotton gin ever constructed was built from those very models and plans and with scarcely a single alteration. The Springbok A peculiarity of that most beautiful of South African antelopes the springbok is that it always leaps over human tracks. It is at once exceedingly shy and marvelously active, and the reason for this strange antic is its intense suspicion of any possible enemies, among whom it has come to recognize man as the most dangerous. It is not only with human tracks that the springbok goes through this performance, for it does the same with the tracks of lions or even when it gets wind of a lion. The leap is exceedingly graceful, and the animal covers from twelve to fifteen-feet at each bound. It drops on all four feet at once and immediately rises again, making a clear spring without any run. Its usual gait when not pursued is a light springy trot. The springbok usually travels with its nose to the ground, as if constantly on the lookout for the scent of enemies. A <Mole> Nest. Among common animals' few have been less studied in their life history than the mole. Mr. Lionel E. Adams says that under the "fortress" which the mole constructs above the surface of the ground will always be found a series of tunnels running out beneath the adjacent field. A curious feature almost invariably found is a perpendicular run penetrating about a foot below the bottom of the nest and then turning upward to meet another run. A mole is never found in his nest, although it may yet be warm from his body when opened. Guided by smell and hearing, a mole frequently locates the nest of a partridge or pheasant above his run and, penetrating it from below, eats the eggs. The adult mole is practically blind, but there are embryonic indications that the power of sight in the race has deteriorated. A Japanese Peculiarity. "When a Japanese servant is rebuked or scolded," says a traveler, "he must smile like a Cheshire cat. The etiquette in smiles is very misleading at first. I often used to think that Takl. my riksha 'boy,' meant to be impertinent when he insisted on smiling when I was angry at him. But when he told me of the death of his little child with a burst of laughter I knew that this was only one of the curious details of etiquette in this topsy turry land." One Definition: "Papa," asked a little boy, "what is a legal blank?" "A legal blank, Johnny," replied his father, "is a lawyer who never gets a case."-Chicago Record-Herald. A Shrine Visited by Thousands and Sacred to Three Conflicting Religious Sects. Throughout Asia "holy places" are almost as numerous as leaves on a tree, but in Ceylon is a mountain which enjoys the unique distinction of being a very holy place to the devotees of three absolutely distinct and conflicting religious sects. This is Adam's Peak, or Samanala. According to the Mohammedan belief, Adam, after the fall, was taken by an angel to the top of Samanala, and a panorama of all the ills that through sin should afflict mankind was spread out before him. His foot left an impression on the solid rock, and his tears formed the lake from which pilgrims still drink. The Buddhists contend that it was not Adam, but Buddha himself that made the footprint in the rock, that being the last spot where he touched the earth before ascending to heaven, while the Brahmins have still another legend. All, however, Brahmins, Mohammedans and Chinese, agree that Samanala is a very holy place, and to perform a pilgrimage to the spot is to the Buddhist what a visit to Mecca is to a Mohammedan. In mixed crowds the worshippers come, each pllying the ignorance of the other, who is so far from the "true way." It requires no little faith and some imagination to trace in the depression in the rock the likeness of a human footprint. It is $5\frac{1}{4}$ feet long by $2\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide, on the top of a huge bowler. The natives, however, insist that it is the footprint of Adam.—Emmett Campbell Hall in Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. MINIATURE GARDENS. Tiny Lakes, Trees and Houses in Diminutive Japanese Parks. The Japanese have the art of dwarfing trees to mere shrubs and of cultivating plants in a similar way. The people take great delight in their miniature gardens, which require a special gardener to keep them down to desired limits. A Japanese garden is generally about ten yards square, and in this small space is found a park and demesne, with lake, summer houses, temples, trees, all complete and in keeping with the dimensions available. One such garden shows a lake four feet long and full of goldfish. On the border stands a pine tree exactly eighteen inches high and fifty years old. Beneath its shade is a temple carved out of one piece of stone the size of a brick. On a lofty crag of some two and a half feet stands a fine maple tree, perfect in form and shape, fifteen years old and twelve inches high. One household in Japan boasts of a complete garden contained in a shallow two dozen wine case. Everything is complete down to the fish in the lake, a sheet of water only a few inch square, and the footbridges over the water courses. Tea houses there are and numerous trees of various kinds, each about six inches in height. Old as the bills are these diminutive trees, but full of vitality, and yet never growing bigger—New York Press. One Consolation. During the time he acted as United States consul in Glasgow Bret Harte occasionally indulged in a day's sport with the gun, and it was during one of his shooting excursions that the humorist met with an accident which might have disfigured him for the remainder of his life, his face being badly cut through the recoil of an overloaded gun. Fortunately the doctor's skill prevented him from being permanently marked. Writing about the occurrence to his friend, T. Edgar Pemberton, who quotes the letter in his "Tribute to Bret Harte," the novelist concludes his letter by telling of an amusing effort which was made to console him on account of the accident. "When the surgeon was stitching me together," he wrote, "the son of the house, a boy of twelve, came timidly to the door of my room. "Tell Mr. Iret Harte it's all right," he said. "He killed the hare." Artificial Flowers It was in Italy that a demand for artificial flowers first arose. This was due primarily to a caprice of fashion which demanded that during festivals blossoms in and out of their seasons should be worn and also to the fact that their color and freshness were stable. Later on, in the middle ages, the artificial so far superseded the natural that both men and women decked their heads with imitation flowers of cambrle, paper, glass and metal. Spiteful.
