IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXIII, NO. 26 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY DECEMBER 7, 1912 SHARPS AND FLATS On Work By the Woman's National Baptist Convention. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D.C. We are exceedingly thankful to the churches, pastors, and friends in the city of Washington who helped stock our pantry with good things during "Grocery Week." Our young women visited many homes and received gifts of canned goods and groceries. The little church at Brentwood, Md., pastored by Rev. Jasper, deserves special thanks for the hearty response to our appeal; their barrel was packed full, as also was the barrel from Israel Baptist Church, Rev. Burke, pastor. The people living in Fairmount Heights, Burrville, Deanwood, Bennings, Linwood Heights and around the School were very, very, generous in their gifts of groceries and canned goods. We are particularly pleased with this evidence of interest on the part of our neighbors. Glfts are still coming in, and we trust that those who have not made a contribution will do so. Bear in mind that it is never too late to do good. As the holidays approach we are trying to see how many people we can make happy. The Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, is not only interested in the work at the Training School, but is interested in sending the gospel to those who have it not. This is the season at which we send boxes to Africa, South America and the West Indies, and we are now preparing our annual contribution in the form of gifts of gingham, calico, unbleached cotton, ready made garments, needles, thread and school supplies for the missionaries on foreign fields. The Vermont Avenue Baptist Church of this city, has already brought their handsome gift of material to be shipped to Africa. If you have, never had a hand in this splendid work it is your chance to give something now. The boxes will be sent not later than December 10. I am sure you can give at least a spool of thread to help missionaries preach the gospel in a practical way. The Tennessee Women's State Convention has just sent through its State director, Mrs. M. E. Hamilton, $37.50 for foreign and Christian education. The women of Arkansas sent as their special gift to those on foreign fields, $6.00. Our good friend Rey, E. H. MacDonald, of Minnesota, sent a gift of $8.75 to the work. These special gifts are in answer to our appeal to send boxes to those who have gone to foreign lands to preach the gospel and teach the people. Other contributions will be forthcoming, and we trust that all of our workers will be made to realize that they have not been forgotten by loved ones at home. We have just returned from a whirlwind Home Mission campaign in the northern part of New York State. The New York State Convention is one of the strongest organizations of Christian women in this country, invited me to spend ten days in the State for the purpose of giving out definite information on the social and industrial problems of the race to which I belong. It was a great opportunity. I spoke to thousands of Christian men and women who are just as much interested in the uplift of the race today as they were fifty years ago, and they are anxious to join hands in a most practical way to solve America's social and industrial problem, of which the Negro is an important factor. I delivered three, four and sometimes five addresses every day for ten days, to men and women of all denominations, and I return to the "Hill" doubly assured that if we will apply ourselves to the task of solving our part of the problem, we will have friends to help us. FOUR CORNERED FIGHT. Young Men's Protective League's Coming Election of Officers. The Young Men's Protective League is one of the strongest and one of the most popular benevolent organizations in this city. This organization will elect a president and other officers at Odd Fellows' Hall Tuesday, December 10, at 7:30 P. M. There are four candidates in the field for the presidency. There is much division in sentiment. Rumor has it that a majority of the members favor the election of a man, who is not only a financier, but a lawyer of ability and a practicing member of the bar and a high Royal Arch Mason, a Knight Templar and Generalissimo of his commandery and a-aged Scottish Rite Mason. Attorney Perrie W. Frisby seems to be that man. There are three other strong candidates in the field who have strong following. Mr. Albert W. Jackson is the candidate of Mr. Aldridge Lewis, the nestor of the league. Had the election taken place last month no other candidate could have defeated Mr. Jackson. On the other hand several of Mr. Frisby's supporters declare that he has always stood loyally by the league, and worked for its welfare. From present indications the fight is between Messrs. Frisby and Jackson. The latter has the support of the oldest members in the organization, and as he is a mixer there is no telling what the final outcome will be. Mr. Frisby being a lawyer, and a lawyer, it is claimed, should be elected to preside over the organization, no better man, it is claimed, could be elected. REGULARS IGNORED. Disgruntled Negro Democrats—Dr. Waldron Charged With Catering to New Comers—Curtis, Moore and Newsom Kick. All is not glistening in the Democratic camp. The old time colored Democrats have declared war against Dr. Waldron, and raise their objections to him favoring the Negro recruits in the Democratic party. The doctor doesn't value very much the services of Barnes, Curtis, Moore, Newsworth and others. He, it is charged, is catering to the silk-glove recruits and is ignoring the men who have been in the Democratic party since Hector was a "pup." All is not smooth, and an outburst is liable to take place any moment. At the harmony meeting held a few nights ago the silk stocking new Democratic recruits were given recognition on the most important committees. The National Personal Liberty League will take action at its next meeting, and Dr. Waldron will be given to understand that he doesn't lead Negro Democracy in this city. The National Independent Political League will not be considered in the making up of the Negro Democratic Cabinet. They will not receive sufficient recognition to elect a president for the black Cabinet so-called. Every place of importance will be filled by a white Democrat. RALPH LANGSTON THE SON OF ONE OF THE GREATEST NEGROES IN AMERICA—A BORN GENTLEMAN. New York Tammany Leader Who Supported President-Elect Wilson From Principle—One of the Men Who Was Not on the Democratic Pay Roll. Mr. Ralph Langston son of the late John M. Langston, like his lamented father, a born gentleman and scholar, paid the city a visit last week and was called upon by many of his old friends who likewise royally entertained the distinguished colored Tammanyyte Mr. Langston is a citizen of New York City, and a young man highly respected for his scholarly attainments. He is the brother-in-law of Hon. James C. Napier, Register of the Treasury. Mr. Langston is the only M. One of the leaders of Tammany, and the first in New York to organize the Wilson Colored Democratic Club. Will have the support of the United Democracy. and first Negro Democrat to organize Negro Democratic Wilson and Marshal Clubs in New York City, and one among few Negro Democrats in this country whose name was not on the payroll of the Democratic party, but one of the leading Negro Democrats who contributed his own money to the support of the Democratic local ticket in New York State and the Democratic national ticket. Mr. Langston is an unselfish leader but a firm supporter of the principles of the Democratic party in New York; and leader and supporter of Chief Lee, the organizer of the colored Tammanyites in the city of New York. He is a young man of ability, and respected by the white Democracy of New York because of his safe and same leadership. He is not allied with any faction, and neither does he approve the elevation of any man, irrespective of political or religious creed. From what leading Democrats say, Mr. Langston will be one man who will receive a representative place at the hands of the incoming administration.

The following statement of the offices and number held by colored men in the "treasured past" will serve as a reminder to the remnant of the old guard living who bore the brunt of political battle to accomplish such good results, and will at the same time, furnish food for reflection to latter day saints who enjoy the benefits without giving credit to the stalwart who made it possible for some of them to earn enough to sport eyeglasses, cane and speeches.

PARAGRAPHIC NEWS DEVOTED TO GENERAL INTEREST Washingtonians and those further South are interested in the contemplated sale of the curio and art collection of General Daniel E. Sickles. The General is now asking for a loan of $5,000 for six months. Atlantic city is still trying to get rid of the colored druggist, it is said, who was appointed by the former mayor on the board of education. The matter has been appealed to the State Board of Education. Gilchrist Stewart, who has been investigating the Jack Johnson incident under the direction of the Constitutional League, is making a strong fight. The vocational schools, under the supervision of the colored assistant superintendent, is making great headway. National Committeeman Costello puts his O.K. mark on everything to be done in this city by local Democrats. He is recognized by his party. The president of the Georgia State College for colored students, objected to the State legislature granting permission to graduates of this college to teach without examination in the public schools. Doctor Wright thought such action would tend to lower the scholarship among colored teachers. Judge W. H. DeLacy is making strenuous efforts to retain his position. Last week he called on President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham. It is said the Attorney General would like to see Stanley Finch, of the Bureau of Investigations, appointed to this place. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois received an enthusiastic welcome at the National Woman's Suffrage Convention in Philadelphia, Pa., last week. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., is regarded to be one of the greatest educators in this country. He has a traveling secretary. It is claimed that Jack Johnson wants to marry a young white girl. It was-presumed that he had been relieved of the white fever. If it is decided to inaugurate Mr. Wilson in April the event will be great. Plans are being worked out for women to take part in the inaugural parade by members of the District of Columbia State Woman's Suffrage Association. A committee of colored men in this city met last week to pay tribute to the late Senator Gordon, of Mississippi. Resolutions were adopted extending condolence to his relatives. Rev. L. C. Moore, Newsome, Harris, Morton, Payne, and a few others made up the meeting. A colored man by the name of Charles Harris, over 60 years of age, was convicted of murder in the first degree by a Seattle, Washington, jury. He was given life sentence. The Seattle Republican claims that the late C. H. J. Taylor was the Negro Moses under the Cleevland administration, and Bishop Alex. Waters will be the Negro Moses under the Wilson administration. Negro democracy is very much divided on this proposition. Rev. L. C. Moore, and Mr. Charles C. Curtis are not saying very much these days. They are living in clover now, and hope to keep the field well replenished under the new administration. Public Printer Donnelly will correct any wrong that may be inflicted upon the colored employees in his office. He has been extremely fair toward the coldred people. There has been formed in Mound Bayou, Miss., by the colored citizens, a new cotton seed oil mill, which was opened the 25th of last month. Mail en route to Gadsden and Rome, Ga., worth $10,000 has been lost. Postoffice inspectors are working on the case, but no conclusion has been reached. Pledges mounting to $7,200 have been received by the committee in charge of raising funds for the erection of a new gymnasium for Howard University. It has been announced $1,500 already has been paid in, and it is hoped to complete the plans for the new building before next commencement. After thirty years in the Department of Agriculture, Mrs. Helen Burr, the oldest employee in point of service, has resigned. She was given a handsome chair by her associates.

Mr. Stewart, it will be rememlsered, was the man who as Secretary of the Commission sent by: Mr. Milholland to investigate the Brownsville affair. laid bare the facts of that iniquity so unmistakably that his record was never impeached and formed the basis of every effort, including that of Senator Foraker, to right the infa- mous wrong done the Black Battal- ign. : : ‘The effective character of his Work in Chicago is suggested by the fact that within three days after his arri- val there “Jack” Johngon was out on bail. although this had been previous- ly denied to any amount.

ALLIES AND TURKS «SIGN _ ARMISTICE h Last as Long as Peace Regotiations Continue . YMG TERWs, KEPT SECRET Adrianople, But Loses Galonika—-Ra- tions For Beleaguered Garrisons. The protocol fop an armistice was signed by the plenipotentiaries of Bui- garla and Turkey at the neutral town ef Baghchetsh, near the Tcbataljz lines. The armisti¢e {s to last as long as the preliminary peace negotlatious continue. The protocol has the ap proval of the Ottoman government. ‘Thdéugh so far the exact terms of the preliminary peace agreement have been kept secret, it is pretty generahy known what they are. Turkey keep: AArianople, but loses Salonika, She may also keep Dedeaghatch, on the Aegean, and consequently the control of the Adrianople-Dedeaghatch rail road. The allies, according to a Sofia dis patch, will demand that Turkey pay a war indemnity of $240,000,000. Thr armistice stipulates that the garrisons of Adrianople and Scutari shall re- ceive daily rations sufficient for e2ch day during the cessation of hosttitles. The news that the Adrianople garri son was included in the agreemen: came as a surprise, and the concessivu by the Bulgars is thken to mean that they .genuinely desire to arrange a lasting peace as quickly as possible. The plenfpotentiarles at Baghchetsh have all during their long conference impressed upon one another the fect that it will be to the loss of both sids if the powers step in as mediators now. . | ‘The sultan sent salutations to th- troops with gifts of tobacco. , There were forty-eight cases oi cholera in Constantinople on Satw- day, with nine deaths.

He left Sing Sing pris- on Thanksgiving day. He was met by his wife and left at once in an au‘o~ mobile for New York. x Patrick spent two years in the Tombs and ten years in Sing Sing Prison, nearly half of that time in the death house. When he arrived In New York he was joined by his two dsu-h- ters and they celebrated his release with aThankssiving dinner, Shestar feanes Dien: Senator Istdor Rayner, of Maryland, one of the leading Democratic mem- bers of the United States senate and & man whose name was offered to the Baltimore convention by William J, Bryan as a suitable compromise can- didate for the presidential nominatiog, died in Washington of neuritis. Senator Rayner had been in a serl- ous condition for about six weeks and had been In a comatose condition for the most part since last Wednesday. The control of the United States senate after March 4 may hinge on the death of Senator Rayner. The Ite- publican whom it Is expected Gover. nor Goldsborough, of Maryland, will appoint In his place will hold office at least until the Maryland Iesislature meets in January, 1914, when a Demiv- erat probably will be elected. , Mr. Rayner's deathi removes one of the Democrats on wkom the control of the senate depended In the, new ¢on- gress. With his vote the Democrati: leaders counted on musterlng forty- nine, or one more than a majority of the total membership of ninety-six. In any event, forty-eight votes, with tie vote of the vice president in case of a tle, was looked upon as sufticient strength to insure control. While the Democrats still have an appareat atrength of forty-eight, the death of the Maryland senator reduces the"sup- posed majority to a point very near the vanishing point. Senator Rayner’s {IIness from neu ritis covered a perlod of nearly fivo years. He attempted to enter cc tively into the recent presidential Democratic campaign and met Bourne Cockran in joint debate at Baltimore Iate in September.

This attack oust be upon a portion only of the enemy's army, and the weight of one’s ‘whole force must be crowded in, so that at the point of action a decided eopetiority 1s attained. This theory of action he often explained to his gen- cals. Moreav, in conversation with Mapoleon in 1790, remarked that it = always the greater numbers that ‘won, to which Napoleon replied: “You are right. When, with inferior forces, I had a large army before me I con- centrated mine rapidly and fell like Ughtning upon one of the enemy's wings and routed it Then I took ad- wwantnge of the confusion which this Yoaneuver never falled to produce in the opposing army to attack it on an- other point, but always with my whole force.

Animals Used to Test Drugs. Use Is made of chemical manufae turers of various animals, such as chickens, dogs, cats and frogs, to test the efficacy of drurs. Ergotine, for instance, is tested on chickens In an extremely simple way. Should it fall to turn a chicken’s comb black it Is at once known by the ex- perimenter that the drug is worthless. Dogs are emplosed to test hashish. ‘This 1s manufactured from female buds of hemp. the male buds having no particular medicinal valne. Hashish administered to dogs induces a pecullar pathological condition, if the drug is correctly prepared, which is seen in no other animal save man himself. Digitalis, the heart stimulant, is best tested on frogs, Injecting a drop of the drug into the stomach of the frog, the chemist. by means of the kymo- gxaph, or heart recording machine, studies the changes of the frog’s heart action, thus obtaining accurate knowl- edge as to the effect of that particular kind of digitalis.—St. Louis Republic. Why They Like lodeform. “Train robbers, burglars, safe blow- ers, holdup men and, in fact, nearly all that class of professional criminals who resort to deeds of violence are greatly addicted to the use of fodo- form,” sald a former California sheriff. “These fellows after committing some crime besprinkle their clothing Mberal- ly with the loud smelling fuld. They also pour it on thelr guns and koives and the tools of their trade. The rea- son {s that they often make hurried fights in which they. are not infre- quently trafled with bloodhounds. There is nothing a bloodhound hates ‘worse than the scent of idoform, and it has been repeatedly the cause of the dog abandoning pursuit of a fugitive malefactor. Knowing this, the crooks are ilberal buyers of an article that may tend to cause their freedom from capture.” ? ————_ Inelde information. “Silk stockings must Ve very cheap {in America. Nowhere in the world do women's slim and supple ankles gleam {n lustrous silk as they do here.” ‘The speaker was an English actor.

When Lord Rayleigh, the British sci entist, was a student at Cambridge the examiners set among other problems one which they based on an article in a German mathematical periodical sup- posed unlikely to have penetrated to Cambridge. Only two men solved it. Mr. Stutt (Lord Rayleigh) and another. The examiners asked the other mau about this problem. “Ob,” he sald, “I tdke the — (mentioning the name of the periodical), and 1 was very glad to find that, thanks to/an article in the last -number, that problem came out quite easily” When Mr. Strutt’s turn came they expected a similar answer. but he astonished them by replying. “The fact is, gentlemen, that I some times contribute to —-, and { could not help feeling greatly fgttered that you should have thought my little problem worthy of a place in this examination.” He was awarded the prize. A Slump In Kisses. A Frenchman who apparently bas a good den! of time on his hands has been amusing himself by reckoning up the number of kisses he has given bis wife during the first twenty years of his married life. He finds that in thé first year he dispensed about a hundred kisses a day, or, say, allowing for birth- days and holidays, about 36,700 in the year. In the second year this number ‘was reduced by half and fn the third year to ten a day, while in the fifth year his better half had to be content with two @ day, one in the morning and one fn the evening. What hap- pened after the fifth year is “wrapped in mystery,” but at the same rate of “progression” he probably arrived eventually at one kiss on the Ist of January every leap year. “Counselor Therefore.” Sergeant Welly, a celebrity of the Irish bar, had a remarkable habit of drawing conclusions directly at vari- ance with bis premises and was conse- quently nicknamed “Counselor There- fore.” In court on one oceasfon he thus addressed the jury: “The case {s so clear, gentlemen, that you cannot possibly misunderstand it, and I should} pay your understandings a very poor| compliment !f I dwelt upon it for an other minute.

It has been reported to The Bee that several Negro employees in the government service here at Washington, have received "personal and confidential" communications from Rev. J. Milton Waldron, who, after November 5th, became a Negro Democrat, soliciting $1 per month to maintain the headquarters of the National Independent Political League in this city. It has been reported that the letter contains a diplomatic suggestion that they, the employees, will be protected "in all ways." The Bee would like to propound the following questions to the preacher politician without a vote: Have you written to any classified government employees soliciting contributions to maintain headquarters for a political organization? Did those letters of request, if sent, contain assurance that those who contributed would be "protected in all ways?" Are you aware, if such letters were sent, that solicitations of this sort constitute a clear violation of the Civil Service rules, punishable by either fine or imprisonment or both? Did you receive any funds from the Democratic Committee, or any one connected with that committee, directly or indirectly, for the maintenance of these headquarters? If so, was that contribution of funds given with the understanding that it was sufficient for, and intended to maintain the headquarters until some time after the inauguration in order that visiting alleged Negro Democrats would have some place to laff, so that they might be kept away from the offices of white Democrats? If you received funds appropriated from the Democratic campaign funds, to maintain your headquarters at Sixth and Louisiana Avenue, why is it necessary to solicit funds from Civil Service covered Negro employees to maintain your headquarters? Will Rev. Waldron give a direct, and satisfactory answer to these questions? If he will, let us remind him of our editorial a few weeks ago in which The Bee infiltrated it would welcome an opportunity to publish a list of the alleged Negro Democrats who were on the payroll of the Democrats, and the amounts they received as conclusive proof they (those who received cash), had no right to expect office at the hands of the Democratic party. In another column will be read with interest one of the many Letters sent by Rev. Waldron to colored men. HOME TALENT FIRST. The public schools of Washington are maintained primarily for the pupils of Washington. When these pupils have completed the school course, and desire to, become teachers, they ought to have the first call. The Bee sees no reason why men who are clerks in the departments at good salaries, and who claim other States as their residence and who vote in these other States, should force their sons and daughters into the schools as teachers over deserving young men and women who are bonified residents of Washington. A clerk in the department who enjoys a good salary, has two members of his family-now on the public school roll. The Bee is informed, he is moving heaven and earth to get an appointment for another son. The Bee, in the interest of our many home young men and women who merit appointment as teachers, and whose financial condition dictates that they should be given preference, calls upon Assistant Superintendent Bruce to see that the young colored men and women of this city are given first preference. Few avenues are open to our boys and girls here, and that being true it is an unjust discrimination to give preference to interlopers. It may be all right, in case of appointment of principals, to occasionally secure some one from out of the city who has established a high reputation as an experienced educator, but for the teaching force there is no reason whatever to appoint interlopers when the waiting list is full of eligible home people. The cities and towns in the States first take care of their own young men and women, when vacancies occur in the teaching force of their public schools. Why should Washington be different? Let Assistant Superintendent Bruce favor home people first. The Bee demands this in the name and interest of bonified Washington residents. THE BEE. The Washington Bee is proud of its record for the year of 1912. If it has offended any one it was without malice. It has endeavored to please and defend the rights and liberties of the people regardless of color or condition. It has supported, with all of its might, the great principles of the Republican party, because it was that party which made it possible for its people to exist and enjoy freedom of speech and obtain equality before the law. It supported without fear or favor, the renomination and election of President William Howard Taft, for which it has no favor to ask or apologies to offer from those who were instrumental in the defeat of the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Bruce, Douglas and Langston. Those who gave aid and comfort to the enemies of this party will, it is hoped, feel no ill effects. That The Bee has felt it has done its duty, and if others think otherwise time alone will tell. That a great. Negro journal at the National Capital is an absolute necessity, it cannot be denied. The Bee is that paper, as the demise of all other Negro journals is an evidence of the declaration. The Bee has endeavored to serve its people, it cannot be denied. To enable The Bee to reach a larger class of its citizens, the management has reduced its rate of subscription from now until December 31, 1912, to one dollar for the year of 1913. Here is an excellent opportunity to secure a great and fearless race advocate for one year for one dollar. The Bee will continue to improve in its make up, editorial and news matter, if it continues to receive the support of the people. Will you subscribe now, if you are not already a subscriber? Do you want a race defender? If so, don't delay but subscribe now. This offer expires December 31, 1912. SPOILS AND HONOR. SPOILS AND HONOR. The two factions of Negro Democracy in New York are fighting for spoils and honor. It is a notorious fact that certain office holders under Tammany—one in particular—were paid fifty dollars per week, and this particular individual expects to receive recognition at the hands of the national administration. It is a notorious fact, as The Bee stated a few weeks ago, that the finance committee or the managers of the Democratic campaign committee, hold the receipts of each and every colored Democrat who was paid in full for alleged services rendered the Democratic party. The united Democracy of New York, headed by Chief Lee, doesn't intend to surrender his ancient authority and standing with New York Democracy for the recent advent of disgruntled Negro politicians. Chief Lee is an old timer. He has not been on the payroll of the Democratic party of New York. The disruption of Negro Democracy in New York will result disastrous. The Bee challenged the Negro grafters some few weeks ago to deny that they were not on the pay roll of the Democratic committee, but not one has dared to repudiate The Bee's charge. There are a number of renegade Republicans in this city who lost cast with the Republican party, expect to be fed at the Democratic pie counter. 'Local Democracy declares that they will not be considered when the pie is cut. There is no hope for these. They must be well seasoned before they will be considered. LEFT FOR SOUTH Mr. James H. Huddnel, the well known and popular "Jim," as he is called and known by, will leave for Anderson, South Carolina, today or next week, where he will start a moving picture theater exclusively for colored people. There are no moving picture theaters in Anderson, and as this is an ovation for the people of the thriving little town there is no doubt but that he will do well. He bids farewell to his friends for a short time at least. OYSTER AND RUDOLPH. Commissioner Johnston has declined a reappointment at the hands of the President, it is understood that President Taft will reappoint Commissioner Rudolph and Captain James F. Oyster. Both appointments will give entire satisfaction to the people. Captain Oyster is a native Washingtonian, and hence he knows the wants of the people. Commissioner Rudolph has made a very conservative Commissioner. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT. The citizens of this city should not fail to attend the meeting of the Social Settlement Monday, December 9th, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. This will be the greatest meeting that has ever been held by this organization. Dr. Francis, the president, has put life in this movement, and he uses every effort to make this work a success. And start business enterprises. All the grocery businesses in the Northwest where live more than 25,000 Negroes, is in the hands of Germans and Jews. Negroes, wake up! Mothers ought to know where their daughters of tender years go, when they go out, and ought to know who they are with when they are out. There are too many routes abroad to persuse them. Under the Cleveland administration there was a "hold-up" organization here composed of three or four characterless alleged Negro Democrats that levied assessments on clerks and messengers in the departments under the threat they could put these employs out or retain them in the service. Are we to have a repetition of this black-mail game? If so. The Bee will expose and bring to justice, the frauds. A Great Meeting and Musical Treat At the New Howard Theater, Saturday evening, December 14. Dr. Booker T. Washington in his address will give some of the reasons why a Negro Business League is essential to professional, commercial and municipal government. Dr. Chas. H. Marshall, the late member of the school board, and [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Hon J. C. Napier, Registrar of the Treasury, will make addresses. The colored members of the Jeanes' Fund, via Dr. Washington, Mr. Smith, Major Morton, Prof. Keating and Hon J. C. Napier, are invited to be present. The best musical talent of the city I has been secured for the evening. This meeting will be under the auspices of the Washington Local Business League. Don't forget the date. Come early and get a good seat. Saturday, December 14, 8:30 P. M., Howard Theater, 7th and T. Dropsy Treated By Mail Shortness of breath relieved in 24 hours. Swelling usually gone in one week.

PublicMen And Things PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) where the cypresses and magnolia grow there would be fewer lynching festivals, and God would get a chance to appear in public without disguising himself. That's loud talk, but its gospel truth. \*\*\* I don't understand why these Greek and Dago razor artists insist on having a sign on the window of their barber-shops reading "White Barbers." If a white man can't be told by a glance that he is white, he is in a devil of a fix. Now colored barbers know you know they are colored, or think you know it, even when they come in snow white complexions. But these Salonika boys, and these Dago chaps, who just run over to get some American coin, are so afraid you will think them colored, and their skin is so tinged with a greasy milk complexion that they have to paint a sign as big as the Washington monument on their barber shop windows reading: "White Barbers." It sure is pretty tough when a white man is so black that he has to carry a sign around telling that he is a white man. If some of these Greeks and Dagos who shave for a living would stop and consider it they would paint out these signs, and just try to pass for white on their color. ALEXANDRIA NEWS. ```markdown ``` The public meeting of the Public School Improvement League on Tuesday evening, December 3, was a creditable success. Too much credit cannot be given Prof. John F. Parker, principal of Snowden School, and Mr. Edw. P. Dixon, Jr., the young, able president of the organization, for persistently keeping the league busy and for securing such an array of eloquent and instructive speakers and educators as Capt. W. H. Sweeney (white), division superintendent, Dr. O'Connor, of the Theological Department of Howard University, Lawyer Thos. M. Watson and Lawyer Edmund Hill. The meeting was a "parents and patrons' meeting," and it was an apparent surprise to Mr. Parker and Mr. Dixon to see so many present, since, on many other occasions they have made an effort to get the parents out; but without much success, and all should profit and be pleased with what they heard. It seems that the people are just awakening to the fact that the league is a beneactor, principally to them, their children and their community. It is to be regretted, yet it seems true that the "drone" teachers, in view of this fact, seem to feel that the league is their enemy, and it can be said, truthfully and without fear of successful contradiction that quite a number of the teachers are permitting themselves to drift into the class of "drones" by their deliberate neglect in matters of most importance to the league and parents. Prof. John F. Parker, the principal of Snowden School, and Miss Laura M. Dorsey, the energetic teacher of the Hallowell School, are working earnestly in an effort to give an entertainment Friday, December 27th, for the benefit of the league. The affair promises to be out of the ordinary, and will consist of a connective Christmas service of songs, recitation, etc, by a chorus of children from the public schools, together with orchestra accompaniment and a concert program by the Columbian Orchestra, of Washington, under the direction of Mr. Sylvester Thomas. Mr. Clarence H. Madella, of the Armstrong Manual Training School, of Washington, and Mr. R. H. Pnee, of the Howard University Law School addressed the Young Men's Bible Class Sunday afternoon at Shiloh Baptist Church. Mr. Madella spoke in his usual advisory, pleasing and interesting manner to the young men, and, as on all previous occasions, the boys showed that they were delighted to have a word from "Mr. Clarence." Mr. Dixon, the president of the class, says that meetings will be called at all the churches during the season; and a most strenuous effort will be made to enroll every young man during the winter season. The Junior League, under the able direction of Mrs. Maggie Darnell Evans, presented a pleasing program on Sunday afternoon at Roberts Chapel M. E. Church. On Sunday evening, December 1, 1912, the Improved B. P. O. E. of the World, Alexandria Lodge No. 48, held appropriate memorial services, pursuant to their annual custom, at Roberts Chapel M. E. Church. During the existence of the order in the city of Alexandria, they have lost but four members, viz: Henry Alexander, died Feb. 23, 1905; Wm. H. Johnson, died May 22, 1908; Geo. Washington, died Nov. 29, 1910, and Jas. Wright, died June 12, 1912. These facts are mentioned as a polite contradiction and conclusive proof that the Elks are not that fast living, heedless set of hoodlums that some misinformed and prejudiced people, especially some of the other fraternities, have so often erroneously conjectured. It is not probable that the death rate of another fraternity in Alexandria is so small. The membership is 148. If they lived fast they would die fast. The eulogy by Dr. J. Milton Hopkins, medical director, and member of the memorial committee of the organization, was of a most high order, and bespoke great preparation; in fact, so much so, that one of the doctor's friends in congratulating him told him that in order to be a doctor of divinity all he needed was the license, because he had acquired the two 'D's already. Mr. William H. Willis, chairman of the memorial committee, showed that he and his committee had worked hard to make the occasion what it should be; and their labors were not in vain. The program was well gotten up and consisted of a solo by Mme. Susie Belle Brooks, a beautiful rendition of one of Chopin's works, by Mr. Edgar J. Johnson, the talented organist, solos by W. I. Buckner and Jas. Townes, and several other musical numbers. Rev. J. F. Mitchell delivered the memorial address. The officers of.the lodge are as fol- lows: Arthur Parker, District Deputy; R. A. Johnson, Exalted Ruler; Robt, W. Day, Esteemed Leading Knight; Jas. A. Coleman, Esteemed Loyal Knight; Randolph Blue, Esteemed Lecturing Knight; Rev. A. G. Islor, Secretary; Edw. F. Brown, Treasurer; John Lomax, Tyler; Phil. Evans, Inner, Guard; GEO, Gaddis, Chaplain; Jos. K. Lee, chairman Ways and Means Committee; Roster Taylor, chairman Committee on Socials; Jas. Townes, Esq., and Dr. J. Milton Hopkins, Medical Director. Trustees: Wm. H. Willis, Andrew Grady and S. S. Johnson. Mrs. Strange, wife of Rev. Jacquelin Strange, is convalescent after a severe attack of pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Webster and Mrs. Griflin of Washington, spent Sunday with Mrs. Webster's mother, Mrs. Mary F. Brooks.

The Bee is on sale at Miss Julia Brown's, 200 N. Payne Street, and Mr. David Wair, 202 North Columbus Street. Social Settlement. Big meeting, Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, 8 P. M., December 9, 1912. Admission free. The Fairmount Heights United Improvement Company, of which Dr. W. W. Jones is president, held its November meeting Monday evening, November 26. The reports of the officers showed a steady increase in the business. The Board of Directors decided to request Mr. A. B. Suit, the sheriff of Prince George's County, to deputize some member of the company to keep order, and thereby cut out the expense and the necessity of having the constable to do so. The community is now advanced to the extent where we can get along very well without having the officers from Capital Heights and Seat Pleasant Heights. This is a town set apart for colored citizens, and we look forward to the time when the store houses will be run by colored store-keepers, and the houses will be built by the hands of colored men and in fact we pray for the hastening of the day, when the community will be left entirely to the colored citizens. Rev. O. C. Sprague preached a fine sermon Sunday morning and night, November 25, 1912. He attended the special services of the Deanwood M. E. Church at 3 o'clock. Rev. Sprague is making good. He is a good preacher, and an excellent pastor. He is beginning to understand his brethren and his brethren are learning more of the disposition of their pastor and, and the more they know of him the more they love him. He will have the unanimous request of his officers and members for his return for another year. The trustees of the M. E. Church, with the aid of the membership and friends, hope to install a furnace during the next few days. Mrs>Helen B. Cardozo reports a great success with the fair given by her and a committee of ladies for the benefit of the First Presbyterian Church. The contractors resumed work on the First Baptist Church of North Fairmount Heights. Rev. A. H. Strother has well earned the title of the father and founder of the First Baptist Church here.

She was a bitter old soul, who, born of a long line of un- contaminated ancestors and married to a noble of equally superfine strain, had, through her husband's death in nancial difficulties, to marry her five children to “abominable persons” of high character, but with the blight of trade or industry In their blood. Her last years were made mournful to her by this pitiful descent, and just before her grandiose last utterance, looking with a bitter smile at ber children and grandchildren in tears round ber death- bed, she broke silence In the following terrible reflection: “We have here,” counting op her fingers, “representa- tives of carriage making, wholesale grocers, confectionery, coal mining and the stock exchanges, and all grafted on the old treo of the De Valmonts.” Ps ‘The Value of Knowledae, Mrs. Featherton had embroidered & gown for herself.

Dace SE eee ee et eee Sate: edgy Weert Thackeray liked to dine alone at the Btar and Garter, a famous.hostelry im Richmond, near London. Harry Fur niss, whose fame as an Illustrator is international, in speaking of this pe- cullarity of the novelist, sald; “An old acquaintance of mine, Sir James O'Dowd, a great friend of Thackeray's, told me that Thackeray often drove all alone to the Star and Garter and went solemnly through an elaborate course dinner and returned to town In his carriage, still in solitary state, O'Dowd happened to be dining one evening at the Star and Garter in another room and, strolling into the larger one, came across Thackeray, screened off from the other diners and Just finishing his elaborate repast. “Well, Thackeray,’ he said, ‘you are an extraordinary man—here all alone when you must have known any or all of us would have kept you company,’ “*All alone!

It’s quite unnecessary. I was only go- ing to say that if you regard my son Arthur as the biggest Har you have met you cannot possibly herve met my other son, Richard!”"—London Answers. \, “To the Bitter End.” The derivation of the often used phrase “to the bitter end” is explained by a writer in the New York Sun as follows: It fs a nautical term. If you have ever been on a big ship you must have noticed two large pleces of timber sticking up out of the deck forward, alongside each other. They sometimes have a windlass between them, amd they are used to. secure the anchor ca- ble. These pleces of wood are called the “bits.” ‘When the sbip comes to anchor and the cable fs paid out all that part of it which is abaft or behind the bits 4s called the “bitter end of the cable.” In a storm or in poor bolding ground for the anchors the more cable that is paid out the better the anchor will hold. and when the captain is at all doubtful he pays out bis cable to the “bitter end” sooner than risk any harm ‘to bis ship.

I disclaim any intention to assail the women, but I want to remind them that they, as well as the men, ate conservators of the strength and usefulness of the Negro race, so that whenever ‘an accounting is asked for the productive qualities of the race may be exhibited in things better than transitory combinations. The proximate cause of all social progress is human want. Want can never be totally annihilated, and it would be fatal to do so, but it can be regulated. It must be if this race is ever to attain its ideal. We are poor today because we have never learned to do without things. We ought to be ashamed to leave to the inheritance of posterity only a pitiable dependence upon the mercies of others.

HAMPTON BEATS LINCOLN Meeting the heavier Lincoln Uni- versity team with a fierce, swift and varied attack, the Hampton Institute team won from her northern rivals by a score of 10°to 6, on the grounds of the Institute Iast Saturday. Hamp- ton’s backs and ends by speed circled Lincoln's ends for good gains, and Bender negotiated several successful passes that soon had Lincoln’s de- Hfense up in the air. Early in the first quarts Bender shot a pass to Jones on Hampton's ‘left end, who after a brilliant run of 45 yards scored the first: touchdown of the game. Bender kicked goal. Soon in the second quar- ter Hampton’s team worked into fa- vorable position and Bender's toc put la field goal for 2 count of 3 to his | team’s credit. Wheaton seemed to. be the only ground gainer for Lincoln, and after a steady plugging fight off tackles, Wheaton_was sent over for a touch- down. Collins missed goal. This was in the fourth quarter, and there- after Hampton prevented scoring. The quaker school was weak in in- tercepting forward passes, and did not vary her attack enough to scatter the opponents defense. Twice on defense, Lincoln showed*admirable gameness by holding Hampton for dawns al. most on her goal line. By opening the play in the fourth quarter, Lin- coln played her best game, and looke¢ dangerous, but the time was too fai spent to overcome the defense~ ant confidence of the Virginians.

Many of them know bow to make and to play both the bamboo nose flute and a kind of jewsharp made from bamboo. Some of them use crude stringed fustruments fashioned from single joints of bam boo, the strings being cut from the out: er layer of wood, to which their ends remain attached, and being raised up by means of bridges. The distribution of the several kinds of musical instru. ments above mentioned {s more or les: local, but the bronze tomtom or “gun za” fs in universal use, although some Negritos play it with a dramstick, while dthers beat it with thelr hands Many of their dances are pantomimic ‘Thelr singing fs often weird in the ex. treme.

A recent English traveler in Balu- thistan had from a holy man in that country a story about Moses which does not appear In the Scriptures, yet ‘which has Its pertinence to this mat- ter of politicians proposing to do away with all the evils of the human lot, saya the Century Magazine. The patri- arch was sitting in bis house very aad, and the Lord sald to him, “Prophet Moses, why art thou cast down?” “Alas,” said he, “1 see fo many people sorrowful. Some are unclothed, and some are hungry. I pray thee make all happy and contented.” The Lord prom- ised it should be so. But soon Moses ywas again disconsolate, and once more the Lord asked the cause. “Lord.” cried the prophet, “the upper story of my house has fallen down, and nobody will come to mend {t; they are all too busy enjoying themselves.” “But what am I to do?” “Lord, make the people as they were before!” Filled Them All Full, Old Lord Forglen, the Scotch judge, died in 1727. Dr. Clerk, who attended | his lordship to the last, calling on his | patient the day he died, was admitted by the, judge's old servant and clerk, | David Reed. “How does my lord do?" inquired “the doctor. “I houp he's weel!” responded the old man, whose /yolce and manner at once explained bis meaning. With tears streaming | down his face he conducted Dr. Clerk into a room Where’there were two doz- en bottles of wine underneath the ta- ble. Other gentlemen presently arriv ed, and, baving partaken of 4 glass or two of wine while-they Ustened™ to | David's account of bis master’s last hours, they all rose to depart. “Ng. } no, gentlemen; not 0,” said the old ' factotum. “It was the express wish of the deceased that 2 should fill ye a’ fou, and I maun fulfill the will o” the dead.” Dr. Clerk used to add when relating the story, “And indeed he did fulfill the will of the dead, for before the end o't there was na ane of us able to bite his ain thoomb!” The Salty Atlantic. Some odd disparities havo been found to exist in the saltness of the sea water fo different oceans and lati- tudes. Fora number of these A. Woel- kow in his book, “Ueber den Salzgehalt des Meeres,” presents ingenious ex- planations. The Atlantic ocean ts known to be about one-sixtieth more salty than the Pacific and two-sixtleths more so thas the Indian ocean. This fs in spite of the fact that it recetres considerably more fresh water drain- age in proportion to its extent, an ap parent anomaly. But, points out_the ectentist, the Atlantic itself supplies. by evaporation, most of the rain that’ ultimately drains back Into it The Prevailing west winds, on the other, hand, carry much of its moisture to Indian or even Pacific ocean water- sheds. As no fresh water comes down tu replace this lost evaporation the residue of the Atlantic becomes saltier. Inflow eround the Horn and Cape of Good Hope alone prevents this process from going further than it does. James H Winslow UNDERTAKER AND EMBLAMER ALL WORK FIRST CLASS.

In Salem, in 1670, it was ordered by the town that "all ye boys of ye towne are appointed to sit upon three palate of stairs in ye meeting house, and William Lord is appointed to look after ye boys upon ye pulpit stairs. In Stratford the tithing man was or dered to "watch over youths' of disorderly carriage and see they behave themselves comelle and use such rapes and blows as is in his discretion meet. In Durham any misbehaving boy was punished publicly after the service was over. We would nowadays scarcely seat twenty or thirty active boys together in church if we wished them to be models of attention and dignified behavior, but after the boys' seat were removed from the pulpit stairs they were all turned in together in a "boys' pew" in the gallery. There was a boys' pew in Windsor, Conn., as late as 1845, and pretty noisy it usually was. Ah Incautious Critic Almost the last work that Sir Edwin Landseer was engaged on was a life-sized picture of Nell Gwyn passing through an archway on a white palefrey. This picture, in which the horse alone was finished, was bought by one of the Rothschild family and given to Sir John Millal's to complete. One morning a celebrated art critic called and was much impressed with work. "Ah, to be sure!" he said, going up close and examining a deerhound, which almost breathed, in the foreground of the picture. "How easily one can recognize Landseer's dogs. Wonderful, isn't it?" "Yes, it is wonderful," remarked Sir John, lighting another picture. "I finished painting that dog yesterday and have done the whole of it myself." That critic was sorry he spoke Daniel Was a Worker. Truly there were giants in colonial days. One Daniel Leake of Salisbury, N. H., made during his lifetime and was paid for 1,000,000 shingles. During the years he was accomplishing this colossal work he cleared 300 acres of land, tapped for twenty years at least 100 maple trees, making sometimes 4,000 pounds of sugar a year. He could now six acres a day, giving numerous of hay. His strong, long arms cut a swath twelve feet wide. In his spare time he worked as a cooper, and he was a famous drum maker.

HICKEY ADMITS MURDER OF BOYS GIVES SIGNED STATEMENT Attributes His Crimes to Excessive Use of Liquor—Has Mania For Killing Boys When Drunk. J. Frank Hickey made a full confession of the murder on Oct. 12, 1911, of Joseph Josephs, the seven-year-old boy, of Lackawanna, a suburb of Buffalo, N. Y.; also of Michael Kruck, a New York newsboy, Dec. 12, 1902. Death in both instances was caused by strangulation. Hickey attributed his crimes to the excessive use of liquor. When drunk, he said, he was possessed of an irresistible mania for killing boys. He denied that he had committed other similar crimes, and said he was repentant for his deed and expected to pay the penalty. The confession was made to Wesley C. Dudley, the district attorney. The whole tale has been reduced to a formal statement and has been signed by Hickey. Hickey is forty-seven years old and divorced. He has a son twenty-one years old. He is a chemist by profession and is possessed of the mildest manners and the most ingratiating personality. Previously he has admitted to the police that he is a drunkard and on several occasions was an inmate on the Keswick Colony of Mercy, where drunkards are given a chance to reform. It is located near Whittings. N. J., the place Hickey was traced through letters he had written, these letters being the principal and, for a time, the only clues to the murder of Joseph Josephs, whose dismembered body was found in an outhouse near his home on Nov. 16 last. Josephs disappeared on the after noon of Oct. 12, 1911. It was at first believed he had been drowned, but his father, George Josephs, a prominent merchant of Lackawanna, insisted that the boy had been kidnapped, and a countrywide search was instituted. The case attracted widespread attention, as the father from time to time received anonymous letters warning him to discontinue the search under threat that his son would be murdered. In one postal card from Boston the then unidentified writer wrote of murdering a boy in Central park, New York city. It reads: "Wednesday night, Dec. 10, 1902, I enticed Michael Ricao Kruck, a newsboy, into the park opposite the entrance to the arsenal police station. I strangled him and just escaped the officer who found him. Three times I have taken life, twelve times have tried and cannot help it." Another card, dated Oct. 30, 1912, was as follows: "Joseph Josephs will be found in the bottom of the outhouse back of school near Doyle's, on Ridge road. A drunk crazed brain done the deed and remorse and sorrow for the parents is bringing the results which will soon come to an end. The demon whiskey will then have one more victim, making four in all. The next morning I tried to kill a little newsy, an Italian, who always stands in the morning at Seneca street. The boy knew me well. Ask him. I wish to pay the price, but will not let the Boston police get me for my family's sake." The principal evidence in the hands of the police up to two weeks ago was a letter written under a New York date and mailed at Whitings, N. J., on Feb. 1, 1912. That letter was turned over to the police by John Hoskyn, chief mill wright of the American Chemical Agricultural Works, of Buffalo. Hoskyn said the writer applied for a job in the chemical works on Sept. 13, 1911. The applicant seemed to be above the class of work obtainable in the plant, but he accepted employment and remained there four days. On departing, he promised to write Hoskyn, which he did four months afterward. The police then traced Hickey to Whittings, where he was arrested. Jackson Gets Rayner's Seat Governor Goldsborough, of Maryland, has announced the appointment of William P. Jackson, the Republican national committee for Maryland, to succeed the late United States Senator Isidor Rayner. Mr. Jackson, as chairman of the Republican state committee of Maryland, had charge of President Taft's campaign in Maryland during the recent presidential contest. He is also the Republican national committee from Maryland, and has been active in political life for many years. Mr. Jackson's home is at Salisbury. He will serve until the legislature which meets in January, 1914, fills what will then be an unexpired term of three years. The legislature at that time also elects a successor to Senator John Walter Smith, Democrat, whose term will expire in 1915. Eighteen Miners Hurt in Cave-in. Eighteen men were seriously injured by a cave-in at the Barnum mine, No. 2, of the Pennsylvania Coal company at Duryea, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The cave-in came without warning, and the injured men were partly covered by the slate and coal. Rescuers promptly went to work and the entombed men were taken to the surface before gas could accumulate. Thirty other men, who were in the mine at the time, escaped by a second opening. The most seriously injured are: A. E. Jetter, superintendent of the colliery, injured internally; John J. McNulty, miner and treasurer of the school district of Pittston; Frank Flannery, miner; Martin Reap, miner, and James Langan, miner. All the other victims are foreigners. Several of the injured are likely to die. Nearly all the physicians in the vicinity were summoned to the shaft to attend to the injured. Most of the victims were removed to the Pittston hos pital. An investigation shows that the accident was caused by a depression in the surface, which caused the roof to fall and entombed the men in the place they were working. Wolgast Loses on Foul. Through a dense cloud of fog at Daly City, near San Francisco, a wild and excited throng of fight fans carried from the roped arena their first pugillistic lightweight champion. With the sixteenth round having only two seconds to go, Champion Wolgast fouled Ritchie, and the referee was quick to raise the local lad's glove in token of victory. The disqualification came after Ritchie, had floored Wolgast twice. Whether the foul was intentional or not was the theme of discussion among thousands as they left the arena. There was no question, however, about the foul. The fact is Wolgast delivered two low left hand punches to Ritchie's groin, and the action of the referee was the only course to pursue. Labor Leader Acquitted of Murder, "Nöt guilty" was the verdict given by the jury in Salem, Mass., in the case of Joseph J. Ettor, Arturo Glovannitti and Joseph Caruso, who were charged with the murder of Anna Loplizzo, who was killed in one of the many riots that marked the Lawrence textile strike last winter. When the three men heard the words freeling them from the charge of murder they embraced and kissed one another. Glovannitti then sprang to his feet in the prisoners' cage. "Gentlemen 'of the jury," he said, his face beaming with joy, "In the name of justice, truth and civilization, I thank you." Found Skeleton In Woods. The skeleton of George Hanawalt, of Mount Union, sixty years old, was found by N. F. Bressler, of Newton Hamilton, near Lewistown, Pa., in the woods near his home while out hunting rabbits. Coroner Emerson Potter, of Lewistown, identified the man, who has been missing since last June. It is believed that Hanawalt wandered into the woods and becoming ill and helpless starved to death. He was identified by means of the number of his watch, which was found beside the body. Largest Woman in the World Dies. Justine Masson, who weighed 780 pounds, and is said to have been the largest woman in the world, died in Montreal, Can. Several months ago she became insane and was taken in charge by the assistance pubilogue. In the institution she became notorious for exploits of strength when in a friezy. Even the walls of her room failed to restrain her, and it was necessary to build a round house outside the main building especially for her. The Popular Vote For President. The popular vote for president in the elections of 1912 shows that Wilson polled throughout the country a total of 6,156,747 votes, Roosevelt 3,928,140 and Taft 3,376,422. The Socialist vote for Debs amounted to 673,783, with the Socialist count still unfinished in seven states. In 1908 Bryan's popular vote was 6,393,182 and that of Taft 7,637,676. Take 596 Gall Stones From Woman. Mrs. John Schnne, forty-two years of age, of Lavelle, near Shenandoah, Pa., died at the state hospital at Fountain Springs, following an operation in which 596 gall stones were removed from her. The woman suffered excruciating pain for the last six months. Child Falls 500 Feet Mildred Sheehan, twelve years old, who with a party of school children was enjoying an outing in the mountains, fell 500 feet down the Devil's Slide into Cheyenne Canyon, near Colorado Springs, Colo., and was instantly killed.

Missionaries in Paraguay more than 200 years ago taught the native Indians to make lace by hand. Since that day the art has greatly developed, and in certain of the towns lacemaking is the chief occupation. Almost all the women, many children and not a few men, are engaged in this industry. A curious fact with reference to the Paraguayan laces is that the designs were borrowed from the strange webs woven by the semitropical spiders that abound in that country. Accordingly this lace is by the natives called manuti, which means "spider web."—Ex change. "I made these biscuits myself, Davi vid," said Mrs. Copperfield, with bon est pride.

"When I was a growing kid, and once upon many words in my reading that I did not understand, my mother, instead of giving me the definition when I applied to her, uniformly sent me to the dictionary to learn it, and in this way I gradually learned many things besides the meaning of the individual word in question—among other things, how to use a dictionary, and the great pleasure and advantage there might be in the use of the dictionary. Afterwards, when I went to the village school, my chief division, after lessons were learned and before they were recited, was in taring over the pages of the "Unabridged" of those days.

They show that you have given with thought and with the true Christmas spirit of helpfulness. For your own home you want good values, and if there's one time above all when you wish to be absolutely sure of quality, it's when you give to others. An article may look all right, and you may pay a good price, but the test of actual use may find it wanting in some respect. You might never know of it; so it's best to be on the safe side. Come to us and you will find absolute reliability. We will tell you exactly what to expect from our furniture, and it will prove just what we promise. We know that Christmas time calls for a lot of extra money. You need many things front our store to add to the comfort in your home, and you wish to give to others.

It's not our purpose to induce you to buy beyond your means, but when it will mean comfort and happiness to have the things at once and pay for them at your convenience, you may be sure that we will sell you more for the same payments, or the same amount for smaller payments, than any other firm in Washington. Every article in our store is marked in plain figures at the long-time credit price. Your selections are made, and the tags tell you just what will be charged, no matter what terms you may wish, except that we allow a discount of 10 per cent for cash or settlement in 30 days.
