VOL. XXXVII, NO. 2 Representation Refused by the National Committee—Wholesale Fraud the Cause—The Moose Turn Out In Force Chicago, Ill., June 6th.—The National Republican Committee threw a bomb in the camp of the near statesmen today. The mostdisappointed were Hogan and Willston. Hogan argued his own case, while Judge Hayes argued the Miller-Chase ticket. The Bradshaw-Marshall ticket was argued by a Chicago lawyer. Tomorrow, Wednesday, if a hearing is given the District of Columbia, W. Calvin Chase will argue his own case. The sentiment against the Hogan-Willston ticket and from the present outlook the Committee on Credentials may sustain the action of the National Committee and deprived the District of Columbia of representation altogether. Hogan and his followers have not been seen since the action of the committee yesterday, but they are looked for to be on deck tomorrow at which time the fight will begin. L. M. King arrived last night when he was seen at breakfast on State street this morning. Weeks' Ovation. Senator Weeks is receiving an ovation. He is forcing the bosses to sit up and take notice. He is regarded a factor in this contest. Treachery. There was a great deal of treachery and deception practiced in this contest of the Miller-Chase ticket. The efforts of some of the supposed friends of the ticket to defeat Mr. Chase resulted in the editor turning the table which no doubt will cause the last of the National Committee-man favorable Chase-Miller ticket. Miller has been a drawback to the ticket. He has not helped it in any particular. The same old set of local Washington politicians are here. There are more colored republicans at the Colliseum where the National Committee meets than there are white republicans. Among the prominent republican politicians from Louisiana are James Vance, Cohen, and others. Henry Lincoln Johnson is to fight his contest over again tomorrow. The Hogan-Williston crowd combination is for Roosevelt and they are at his headquarters. The banquet given last evening was in honor of the colored delegates. James H. Hayes of Washington was hissed because he attempted to land the virtues of Col. Roosevelt. The sentiment of the guests was anti-Roosevelt. Mr. Hayes had to leave the platform. There are many representatives from the states. Emmett J. Scott is training with the near statesmen from the District of Columbia. This same old crowd is in hopes of having the hand-picked representative of Tuskegee to go front for them in the event of Roosevelt's nomination. Hitchcock is playing a great political game. Roosevelt, who asserted that he would support Judge Hughes, now declares that he never said that he would support or oppose any man. The Hughes delegates are for Roosevelt. The South Carolina delegation that had a few traitors in it has won by eliminating the purchasable delegates. Col. Talbert is now in the saddle. These delegates were purchased by a colored individual in Washington which came out in the testimony. NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL CLOSING A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. The National Training Shool for Women and Girls. Lincoln Heights, Washington, D. C. has just closed the best session in the history of the institution. Mr. Watt Terry of Brockton, Mass., delivered the address, to the graduates. A message from a man who has achieved so much in a few years was a source of great inspiration to the host of friends who witnessed the closing exercises. Sixteen years ago Mr. Terry went to Brockton with fifteen cents in his pocket. He worked at odd jobs until he secured work in a shoe factory for a dollar a day. He was soon raised to thirty dollars a week, saved his money and purchased a home, then went into the real estate business. He is now paying taxes on over half a million dollars worth of property and is easily the wealthiest colored man in the North. He lives on Belmont avenue, adjoining the residence of ex-Governor Douglas and is respected by men in all walks of life. He is intensely interested in Christian work and gives liberally for its advancement. He is a young man with a head full of common sense. His address was an eloquent appeal to the young women to give themselves to the task of building a race from the bottom, by putting first things first, and never allowing an opportunity to slip to bettter their condition. He urged them never to be satisfied unless they were making real progress. The baccalaureate sermon Sunday, May 28, was a masterful effort and was delivered by the Rev. J. M. Waldron, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church, Washington, D. C. Thursday the day before the commencement, was Field day. The bust of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled. The Rev. W. H. Moses, the eloquent divine, a matchless orator, was the speaker on this occasion. He spoke on "Lessons from the Life of Abraham Lincoln." Every department in the institution was represented when Class Legacies were presented. Amidst speeches, songs, and yells, the young women delighted the great audience that assembled that assembled to witness the dedicatory exercises and Field day program. Work was on exhibition that showed with what skill and efficiency the institution is carrying forward its practical program. Only those who were present can get even a faint idea of the inspiration that pervaded the very atmosphere when students from twenty-seven states and two foreign countries marched on the platform to take part in the closing exercises. The setting was too beautiful for pen to describe, under the spreading oaks surrounded by growing flowers and plants of every description, in the presence of a distinguished audience, the high note of the best commencement in the history of the institution was struck in the "Welcome Song." Each number that followed was "the best." The program was as follows: Commencement Program. Friday, June 2, 5:30 P. M. Chorus—Song of Welcome (Veazle). Oration —"Why We Stress Literary Training in Connection with Vocational Training," Miss Grace Coleman, Virginia. Chorus—Bridal Chorus, from the Rose, Maiden Rose Inductions Oration—"A Large Field for the Dressmake," Miss Esther Hinton, Maryland. Chorus—"The Morning Ramble" (Veezie.)

His Trip from Washington to the Scene of Combat—Who Are, on the Ground—Old Guard in Control. (Editorial-Correspondence.) Chicago, Ill., June 5, 1916.—The trip from the city of magnificent distances to Chicago last Sunday afternoon on the 1:42 p. m., over the B. & O. we a most enjoyable one. Of course we had a drawing room in which we could do our playing without molestation. Mr. Joseph H. Trigg accompanied us and on the same train was Dr. Charles H. Marshall, we candidate for delegate on the Bradshaw ticket. We arrived on schedule time and went directly to our headquarters, the Palmer House, the guests of Dr. James E. Shepard of Dunham, N. C., and from there to our private quarters. 3145 Pariana The Collisum. We went to the Coliseum where the contests are being decided. Great and national statesmen were there in great numbers. Judson W. Lyons, who allied himself with Walter Johnson, the avowed enemy of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson. Col. Rucker, of Georgia, who lead the opposition in 1912, with many others, were conspicuously present. Col. Johnson is the hero, with his faithful assistant, Ben Davis, seems to be the master of the situation. We saw our old friend, J. Madison Vance, Col. Blunt and other distinguished. Louisianaans. The Louisiana case may be compromised, and only the pure in heart will be permitted to the mourners' bench. This is no place for sinners. The sinners belong to the Moose. Convention, but if they are willing to return to their father's house and ask foriveness they will be permitted to do so. Dr. Geo. W. Cabinness, Ed. Williston are here. Geo. W. Robinson, as Williston's alternate, has given his proxy to Flathers, it is said. George finds gathering rags, iron and old pay per is better than meeting his Waterloo in Chicago. Dr. Albert R. Collins got cold feet and is not expected unless he is convinced that the committee will give him his seat. By the time this correspondence reaches the readers of The Bee they will know who is who. Charles Linkins, Esq. The chairman of the election board, Charles Linkins, Esq., is the center of attraction by the Hogan sattelites who seem to be under his control and refuse to move until their chief gives the signal. Peysen, who supported the democratic party a few years ago, and it able to return, is waiting for orders. Roosevelt. The Colonel is expected in a few days. The electric ruler is in operation and it kills all it touches. The regulars don't intend to allow any man to break up the republican party. In the first place Col. Roosevelt is not in the republican party. He left in 1912 and declared that he would never return. If he wants to return he must declare his allegiance, says the Old Guard. MOOSE LOYAL TO ROOSEVELT. From the Chicago News June 5. Theodore Roosevelt's loyal band in the progressive party is ready to go to any extremes to stop the "steam roller," of 1916 in the hands of the "old guard." Its members insist that Col. Roosevelt makes the issue of preparedness and to this end they are going to, remain in the trenches and fight it out with all the stubbornness born of a just cause as they see it. Harold L. Ickes, close personal and political friend of the former president, gave out a statement that is believed to reflect the attitude of the real friends of the colonel. National Committeeman Ickes, speaking as a progressive, makes it clear the Rooseveltians are not going to take Justice Hughes "sight unseen." The justice must talk if he is to get a progressive "O. K." The justice is not expected to talk and hence this leaves only Col. Roosevelt as the candidate the progressives believe fills the issue. States Progressives' Attitude. States Progressives' Attitude. "Certainly progressives will not nominate Justice Hughes without knowing his position on the vital issues or the day," said Mr. Ickes. "No agreement can be reached between representatives of the two parties to nominate him prior to a public formal statement of his position. Nor will the progressives be willing to accept any nominee, even upon a satisfactory, republican platform, without knowledge that the nominee is the embodiment of that platform. The possibility of a joint nomination of Justice Hughes by republicans and progressives seems, therefore, a remote contingency." Geogre von L. Meyer, organizer of the businessmen's committee indorsing Col. Roosevelt and who headed the colonel at Oyster Bay and invited him to run, issued an invitation to all the delegation which recently visited incoming delegates to confer with him before deciding how to cast their votes. The Meyer invitation to the delegates declared they were confronted with the opportunity to "heal the wound to the bone." Young Roosevelt Talks. Young Rosevelt Tanks. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., arrived in Loeb, Jr., and mingled with the pre-convention crowds in hotels lobbies. He will attend the convention as the guest of J. Ogden Armour. "I do not know what the convention is going to do," said young Mr. Roosevelt to his friends last night, "but the sentiment of the country wherever polls have been taken seems to be for father." Something tangible is expected to develop in the session of the pro-pressive party national committee in headquarters in the Auditorium hotel. Leaders believe it is possible some statement might issue bearing on the relations of the republicans and progressives. Says Colonel Isn't Coming. Despite increasing demands by Roosevelt supporters for the personal attendance here by Col. Roosevelt, his secretary, John W. McGrath, declared positively that the colonel would remain at Oyster Bay during the convention. One plan being considered among others by progressive leaders is to have the progressive convention express its intention to nominate Col. Roosevelt and recess until action is taken by the republicans. If the republican convention nominates Jus- tice Hughes the progressives, according to the plan, would wait until Col. Roosevelt's attitude was made known. If Col. Roosevelt expressed willingness to support Justice Hughes the progressives, according to the plan, would be expected to line up behind him. BOY SCOUTS. On Saturday, June 10, we will hold a joint hike of all troops wishing to take part. We will leave Satterlee House at 6 o'clock a.m., and expect to return about 5 p.m. Every boy must bring his cup, spoon and ten cents. A. L. Hill, Scoutmaster in charge. Scoutmaster J. H. Smith gave a banquet to his troop, No. 503, on Thursday evening as a token of their interest in their work. Mr. Smith will leave Washington, in a short while for Atlanta, Ga., where he is to be married. The Scoutmasters' Club presented Scoutmaster Clarence W. Frisby with a fountain pen as a graduating present on Wednesday at Howard University. Scoutmasters A. L. Hill, Clarence Brooks, and C. W. Frisby went for a morning hike on the 4th. They left Satterlee House at 6 o'clock and arrived at Scoutmaster Washington's home in Burrville at 7:30, averaging a mile every fifteen minutes. All available Boy Scouts will report at Satterlee House on June 14th at 9 o'clock for service at the Preparedness Parade. I consider the Boy Scout movement one of the best modern activities in behalf of the boys of the nation. The wisdom of the principles underlying the movement is undoubted. The practical success which has been unquestioned. The movement should have the hearty support of good everywhere. It is a conservative proposition, the saving of boys and directing them in the line of development of their powers, so that they will attain the highest usefulness. Commands itself because it is a process which begins at the right time to accomplish the largest results for the community and for the nation. We are very anxious to raise funds for our Boy Scout Drum Corps. Much praise is given Scoutmaster N. F. Henry, Clarence Brooks, and John Rahald for the way in which they handled the Boy Scouts at the competitive drill Monday. Troop No. 505 with Scoutmaster Lee C. Brown and Assistant Scoutmaster Clarence Bryson, went for a 25-mile hike through Virginia. They breakfasted at Bancroft and while studying the birds and plants their attention was attracted by a pack of hounds on a trail from whom they received many points on tracking. On Wednesday evening Mr. Jefferson gave an interesting talk to 180 Boy Scouts on "Efficiency," at the Y. M. C. Scoutmaster N. F. Henry introduced the speaker. Scoutmaster A. L. Hill, Clarence Brooke, Lee C. Brown, John Randall, Clarence Frisby, and Assistant Scoutmaster William McCoy. GRADUATES WITH HONOR. Miss M. Pearl Adams: of Montgomery, Ala., who has been attending Howard University for the past eight years, left the city Wednesday night for Ashland, New Hampshire, where she will remain all summer. Miss Adams is one of the members of the class of '16 upon whom the degree of A.B. was conferred at the commencement exercises in Howard University chapel last. Wednesday. She is a young lady of exceptional ability and received much praise and applause for the success of her present achievement. Miss Adams was a former student of Hampton Institute and has done much noble work outside of her regular school duties, being a charter member of the Y. W. C. A. also a member of the W. C. T. U. of English Chautauqua connected with the schools. She was a member of the German Club; president of the Girls Athletic Association and a most successful player in the tennis tournament. SEGENSION SERVICES ASCENSION SERVICE Ascension Day Services were held last Thursday, June 1 at Metropolitan A. M. E. Zlon Church, Second and D streets southwest. Rev. W. J.

COMMENCEMENT AT HOWARD Forty-Seventh Annual Anniversary Exercises Held in the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel—Great Crowd Present. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the commencement exercises of the several degree departments of Howard University were transferred from the campus to the Andrew Rankin Memorial. Several thousand persons wended their way to witness the exercises, but were greatly disappointed to find out that only a few hundred would be allowed entrance into the chapel. Degrees were conferred upon one hundred and sixty-four graduates, the largest number belonging to the Dental Class, with a total of forty-two. Promptly at four-thirty o'clock, the procession started. This was one of the most impressive part of the evening, which were opened by the president, Rev. Stephen M. Newman, who introduced Rev. Isaac Clark, who was chaplain for the occasion, Rev. Clark, who is dean of the Theological Department, is serving his last year as such, having rendered his lifetime in unbuilding that department. The address to the graduates was delivered by Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. Secretary Daniels dwelt at length on the progress of the colored race in the South, pointing out that the "so-called" race problem was not to be settled by the people of the North, but would have to be worked out by the people who lived in the South and who knew the conditions. He stated that such institutions as Howard, Hampton and Shaw were doing a great work for the uplift of the race, and were doing much to solve the problem. The Secretary produced several statistics which showed the progress of the race-during the last fifty years, some of which are as follows: The number of farms operated, $90,141; number of farms owned, 218,000; number of acres operated, 42,000,000; number of acres owned, 15,000,000; total value of farms, $1,100,000,000; total value of farms owned, $346,000,000,67,544 professional men. 29,422 teachers, 17,000 preachers, 5,000 musicians, 2,100 trained nurses. The music was furnished by the Washington Concert Orchestra, under direction of Prof. Roy Tibbs. The following was the order of exercises: Order of Exercises. Academic Procession, Processional March, War March of the Priests, Mendelssohn Invocation, Music, Ase's Death, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Grieg. Address, The Honorable Josephus Daniels, The Secretary of the Navy. Music, Scherzo, Coleridge-Taylor. Conferring of Degrees, President Stephen Morrell Newman. Awarding of Prizes. Benediction. Music, Coronation March, Svenasen. Several prizes were awarded to the most eqlient students. The exercises were brought to a close in the evening, when the Alumni As association held its Annual Banquet. SPRING MUSICALS. The Washington Conservatory of Music concluded its thirteenth annual season last Friday evening with a piano 'recital' from* the Teachers Course. The first of the series taking place Friday, May 26, to a large and appreciative audience, the departments of plano, school of expression, voice and violin being represented. On Saturday, May 27, at 5 p. m., the children's spring melody program took place. Especially pretty were the Gigsy queen and king in costumes sitting in their 'tent'. The girls were dressed in white, each carrying a bouquet of flowers as they entered. The program opened with a chorus and the crowning of the May queen, Verice Jackson, followed by piano solos, recitations and solos. The last recital Friday evening, June 2, was given by Misses Mamle Tate, Marlon Brown, Joberta Desmukes, of the Teachers Course, assisted by Mr. Jones of the violin department. Among the numbers of interest were the selections, from Beethoven, Lassen, Godard, and McDowell, which were very well rendered by Miss Tate, as were her vocal selections by Hawley, Gounod and Cowan; Miss Desmukes offerings being by McDowell and Chopin; Miss Brown's Coleridge Taylor, Grieg, Schutt and Godard. A large audience was delighted with their attainments in teching and interpretation. DR! STARR PARSONS HONORED. Washington Alumnus Named 'on President of Medical Examiners Board of Medical Examiners. Dr. Strarr Parsons, secretary of the Hillsdale College Alumni Association of Washington, D. C., has been appointed by the government of the District of Columbia, a member of the Board of Medical Examiners. For about twelve years Dr. Parsons has been a member of the Board of Dental Examiners of the District, serving as president and as secretary. He is now a member of both boards and his membership is very pleasing to his friends as both appointments came unsolicited by the doctor. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Doc Williston remained in town as long as he could. He will be on the ground by the time the shouting will begin in earnest. R. Wardy continues to play hot and cold. He will be too cold one of these days to keep warm. He finds puffing himself is safer than depending on the people. There is no files on Jesse Foster. He is he most polished diplomat at the game of politics. His better half is equally as clever and a most polished individual. The bankrupt association is a new acquisition in this berg. The members assume leadership in everything. I have been asked to define a bankrupt. He is an individual who takes other peoples valuables with their consent and can legally file petition in court to the effect that he is unable to pay. The court grants a relief and relieves the individual from further responsibility. A bankrupt that will not list all of his indebtedness and swears that he has listed everything, and afterwards it is ascertained that he has deceived the court, is liable to a punishment for intentional negligence. tional criminal negligence. The courts have adopted other methods in catching individuals who fall to "tote" square in business. I wonder if the District candidate for delegate succeeded in tearing the certificate of election that was given the Chase-Miller ticket by the election board? I would like to have a piece as a souvenir. He was saluted with horns and other instruments of noise on his return, no doubt. Speaking about southern' politics, the District of Columbia has the south skinned. I never did think that the democratic party committed all the offenses against the negro. There are other sinners in the nation of politics. Don't you think that Richard Ware is some hustler? He is doing what other people can not do. He has some wife who knows the shoe business and in other commercial business. She is no graduate, but she can put graduates in the shade when it comes down to handling goods, such as other people handle. Calvin left the city. He is just as happy in defeat as he is in success. He is a peculiar implement of war to handle. He is better off in battle than he is in peace. Don't you know Calvin is some "pumpkins." Have you ever know him to retreat, even in apparent defeat? I believe President Wilson should be given credit for keeping this here hard road to travel, but don't you know that he is a safe man? He doesn't seem to be disturbed over the Mexican angle, or the European scrap. He just handles the situation as I would Doc Willison when he tried to be elected a delegate from this here city. Bar room politicians, drug store gossipers, street corner loafers, and all other kind of near statesmen are never happier than when they get full of booze and begin to discuss the merits of men who have been more successful than they are. Don't discuss the highbrows. If you want to see some fashions, go to Brother Andrew Thomas' housewarming on Monday and Friday evenings and to his supper show. No wonder these pale faces are jealous of them. They look like they have just dropped from the clouds, and a snapshot taken of them by Dan Freeman's latest camera. Dan Freeman is up to date artist. If he would only keep his promises, I would think that he would be able to catch a fly sail ing against the clouds. Dan knows his business in every particular. Did you ever see the picture of Napoleon's return from Moscow? What does it remind you of? A correct answer sent to the Sage will entitle the writer to one year's subscription of the Bee. You know you can't play heat and cold in politics. The gentleman in the booth and who runs a drug store will be given a book on knowledge in politics soon. You know some people become so intoxicated by a few cents that they will sell out their best friends. Time will vindicate right, you know, especially when you go against the Lord's anointed. Some of the near statesmen shouted too soon. No matter who is hurt, the world moves along just the same: There was no beating of drums and blowing of horns when Doc Willston left the city. His partner left the city with an escort of four or five carriages. They were all one during the election. But now, the white and black don't mix. Politics makes strange bed fellows. Some local politicians criticize Jerry Barnes. He is a good fellow and a great deal better than those who abuse him. He does what he says, and so far as the Sage is concerned, he is a man. I admire his congeniality, and if his critics were skinned, they would be so disease that medical skill could not reach their aliment. Speaking of Richard Ware, will some one let the Sage know if there has ever been a man in this town to surpass him in business? I have come to the conclusion that it is always best to stand by your friends, especially in misfortune; it is then we are needed. you are right to bound to prevail, so don't forget this. THE DEAD TEACHERS. A Deserving Tribute to Their Memory. The Teachers' Association of our schools has established a custom which deserves notice. From the pen of the president they have issued two memorial leaflets calling attention to the names and services of the dead teachers. The second annual leaflet copied below emphasizes one of the most im- portant yet neglected influences of the life and work of the teacher, her spirit. In this statement, Prof. Chas. M. Thomas of the Miner Normal School has described for the living, working teacher the qualities by which the work must be and will be judged, if that teacher is to live in the lives of the future generations. In these days of narrow ambitions, quick rise to prominence through influence and without needed qualifications, favoritism, sham culture, and neglect of duty to feed the souls of our children with inspiration and direction for high achievement this recall of the work done by those long since passed away, and the spirit in which it was done, should serve to reinsplure and redirect the work of our teachers to-day. The words of the Memorial Leaflet follow: let follows. The Spirit of the Teacher. The Spirit of the Teacher As the teacher instructs, so goes society. In the division of labor in social advance standards have been set, and to-day there is an attempt to estimate, measure and evaluate the work of the teacher. What is the scholastic equipment? What is known of increasing accumulations of fact? What skill is there? How well can other and immature minds be caused to re-experience the life of man; to come to know his successes and failures? What social power is exerted? How well are the social trend and purpose interpreted in the life and action? These are the questions asked, because it is being seen that the teacher is a social agent. agency. Teachers represent the home; the church and the state, which they supplement, and inculcate appreciation for. They establish the brotherhood in commerce and labor, without which selfishness and power would retard civilization. They are in turn guide, friend, counselor, comforter, foreman, jury, judge and law; being rule and punishment. authority, for all these matters are more or less capable of measurement or estimation, but man is more than mind, hence above and beyond all the racket and machinery of eduction, there breaks out in ever increasing loudness the demand for attention to the subjective side of instruction, to the life of the spirit, the interplay of the inner life of the teacher upon the inner life and ideals of the young operations. er geared. HeOLDER pedagogy, which was recognized the force of inconscious tuition. Its value was not easily determined, but was inestimably higher than mere formal instruction. To-day, not under that caption, but clearly discernible, we are coming to value "The Spirit of the Teacher." Spirit Man's soul is a fact. It is indeed the fundamental fact which takes precedence over all others. Says Locke, "This minute and scrupulous regard for human life and human virtue in the humblest forms, in the slave, the gladiator, the savage, or the infant, was indeed wholly foreign to the genus of Paganism. It was produced by the Christian doctrine of the inestimable value of the impertural soul." mortal force. Through the teacher each generation is taught; to release yet conserve the energy of the body; to expend yet train the capacities for action; to subdivide the material world that it may be controlled; to liberate the soul that it may realize itself in serenity the trend of destiny. vice in the trend of Can those who have so labored and into whose labors we have entered he forgot? tered he for- The spirit of Plato still lives, for it was he who based human activity and the whole structure of civilization upon theoretical knowledge, giving a new inner stability to life and a substantial elevation to our existence. existence. Is Aristotle dead, who left us a simple, serious, never wearying effort to comprehend the objective world, to discover its actual state and to trace its relationships? With this appeal to the actual world, this linking of thoughts with things, activity resolves itself into the tireless industry that energetically explores the world and brings forth its hidden riches for the service of man. While Plato gave us Schilermacher, Aristotle gave us Liebricht and Hegel, and their spirits live in the modern teacher. Epicurus lacked this spiritual quality and lives only as a name. The Stoics spiritualized the conduct of life and gave us the idea that compared with virtue all life's other values as naught, for it alone brings endlessness. happiness. Is Scrater dead? Or Augustine or Thomas a Quinas? Does not Bacon live? And Calvin and Carlyle? And Desertes and Emerson? Is Goethe, or Hume, or Locke, or Plutarch to be forgot? Or Adam Smith, or Abelard, or Cardinal Newman, or Petalozzi? Can you deny the influence of Spencer, Spinozza, Voltaire, or W. T. Harls? Have, Rousseau, Froebel, Fannie Jackson Coppin, W.

On the contrary, it is because these men and women lived, worked, thought, and spake to generations of men that we to-day enjoy peace and prosperity; that we labor joyously, and hopefully secure in the belief that our work too may add its mite to the progress of truth, and justice in civilization.

Hershaw to the teachers of the divisions of the colored public schools at the Myrtila Minor Normal School on "The Mechanics of the Stage" was greatly enjoyed, and has been commented on favorably by many. This treatment of the subject was considered to be especially appropriate to the presentation of the Shakespearean tercentery pageant by the pupils of the schools. Prof. Hershaw has been invited and has accepted, to lecture at Plymouth Congregational Church, Seventeenth and P. street, Sunday evening, June 18, on "The Church and the Drama." W.

Just what the status of the negro will be in politics in the coming campaign is a question that is very seriously considered. While President Wilson has not given him any official recognition to any extent, the republicans in the South have attempted to organize a lily white party and ignore his political claims altogether. The white republican party in the South means negro elimination from the body politic. The white republican party in the South organizes for offices only and nothing more. It is too clanish to place in the field a republican ticket, and many, if not all, white republicans organize to prevent the colored republicans from affiliating in the councils of the party. There has come to the front today the old pledged office seekers who figured to a great extent in the past republican administration. If the republican party should win in the coming contest it would find itself embarrassed by having a lot of leeches hanging on to it. The Bee sympathizes with the South, because the two candidates for delegates to the national republican convention are from adjoining states and if such methods as they used in the recent election in this city are used in the South, The Bee sympathizes with the good people in the South who ask to be delivered from such imposition. The citizens of Washington have been imposed upon long enough, and yet to a great extent they are to blame. In the recent election money and whiskey had a telling effect, which convinces The Bee qualified suffrage is what the people in this city should be given, in the event they are to be given any suffrage at all. THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels' address to the graduating classes of Howard University was fittingly one of encouragement and inspiration that should be given lst place in the lives of every colored American. The key note of his address being common sense, education and everlasting work. In these words he took occasion to give in detail the commercial, intellectual, and moral growth of the negro race within the last fifty years. Viewing these words from common sense reasoning, there seems to be contained and summed up all that there is for one to do if he would succeed. To accomplish anything or build up a reputation we must be prepared to work intelligently and persistently, and be ready to seize the larger results that await us. We may safely say that opportunity is God's greatest gift to man to be used by him and unless work is applied, opportunity has no value. The good and worthy men of mark, whether practicing in the field of labor, business, or profession, would have failed to attain his position in life had he not worked hard from his first adventure, and continued during his entire career, even amid adverse conditions that seemed beyond his control. With the appreciation of these most useful weapons—common sense, education and work, we as a race may make possible all things and probable most things.. THE NEGRO It is the so-called educated negro who is a dangerous element in the community and body politic because his own personal ambitions and love of show causes him to sell his race out and follow mob violence and crime. The real educated negro is educated both in head and heart along all lines physically, mentally, morally, and religiously. His work is constructively pursued for the upbuilding of his race and the community at large, using all material of good report for his purpose and rejecting the unworthy. This class of Negro is the real honor to his race and is found in all walks of life, notwithstanding the fact the negro who adopts mob violence as a method of rising to those heights craved, by his personal ambitions would have you believe that he is the real thing ordered. This class of negro would be, of more value if he were lifted from the civilized community in which he resides and given a job in the European war, where perhaps he is needed and would learn some sense. Such a negro has a one-sided education and only enough to be a dangerous citizen. A GREAT NEED It is to be regretted that Howard University is so handicapped by not having a more spacious auditorium for holding its annual commencement exercises. This fact was forebly shown on last Wednesday afternoon, when several hundred persons wer enable to witness the exercises. Some of these persons' had come several hundred miles to witness their sons and daughters receive their degrees but were disappointed, as they inemency of the weather forced the University authorities, to transfer the exercises from the campus to the chapel. The Andrew Rankin Chapel which has been used by the University for several years has become much too small, owing to the ever increasing size of the student body. It is to be hoped that congress will soon see the need of a larger chapel and make some appropriation for the same. Also, let the Alumni bestir themselves and make an effort to meet some of the growing necessities of this great university. THE OLD GUARD There was so much corruption shown in the District of Columbia contest that the National Committee was disgusted. Never in the history of local politics has such violations of the rules been disregarded and violated before. For the first time in the history of local politics the District of Columbia was deprived of representation on the several committees at a National Republican Convention and simply because one N. Carolinian and one S. Carolinian who could not be elected in their own states, imposed upon the weakness of the republican voters in this city. It makes no difference who is nominated by the republicans, they will have a hard time to elect, if at all. There is a popular sentiment in this country for President Wilson and if Col. Roosevelt is nominated is claimed then Mr. Wilson will be re-elected. PROF. ADAMS AND HIS MUSIC PUPILS An interesting and personal tribute was paid Wellington A. Adams the other day, in a letter he received from one of his pupils which explains his magnetic grasp upon those with whom he comes in contact and in general, his success as a teacher, judging by this remarkable letter mainly, because it is unsolicited, as follows: Washington, D C. June 2, 1916. My Dear Teacher: I have some few things in mind that I would like for you to know concerning music affairs; not having the opportunity to talk personally about them, I voluntarily write you. I want to thank you for all the instruction you have given me since a year ago. I did not know that I would where I am today in music and the credit is all owed to you, and I feel that I ought to thank you for it. Monday night was the last I ever saw, although it might not look that way to the others; but for my part, it was surprising that me because I never thought that I would get so light as to go before the public like that and everybody thinks that I did fine. When I first came to you I didn't know anything at all about music. I am certainly satisfied with what you have done for me since the time I commenced learning music. I do not desire going to any other teacher, because I am satisfied with your teaching and I do not mind spending my money with you. I started learning in your school and I want to finish up in your school. I have my interest on music and am very much interested in it. If I can learn to play real good I will be satisfied. I want to thank you for the piano purchased of your music store. I know of you think that you are getting lots of "thanks," but really this is a letter of thanks to you for your valuable services and I am going to help you all I can while I am in your school. I think that all people who are interested in their music and haven't a piano, should let you sell them as you did me and pay for it while learning; that is my idea about it. I pay for all of my music out of my own money and I don't miss it because I know that I am getting something in return. I hope we will do better in the next recital than in the first one and I will be glad when you give another one. I am going to do all I can to help make the next one better. I think all of the pupils are doing fine in music. You are so much interested in our learning and work so hard to please us that we pupils should not lose any more time than we can possibly help from our music. I thank you for the time you have spent in reading this letter because I wanted you to know, and that's the reason why I write. Young Mr. Charlie Rector, at West End, who has been ill for a week, is much better we are glad to note. Miss-Ethel Lamond of Washington, D.C. spent the week end with Mrs. Fonio Thomas. Mr. Tolbert Thomas and Madam have moved into their new home for the summer.

Miss Moore's death occurred during the month of April in Selma University, Selma, Ala. Mrs. Louisa Henderson read an excerpt from the life work of Miss Moore. Favorite hymns of Miss Moore's were sung. A 'solo was rendered by Mrs. Josephine Powell, wife of the pastor of the church. This service was followed by the usual Sunday evening service.

Morning and afternoon preaching services with afternoon Sabbath School hour made up the day's sessions of worship. In the fervent covenant meeting Rev. De Vaughn of Washington, D. C., was a leading speaker; but the strong talk given by our esteemed Brother H. W. Ball of Washington and Arlington struck home to the hearts of his hearers. Bro. Ball emphasized the thought that Christians (?) cannot serve the devil here and "fall into heaven by accident." In the course of the meeting an old gray-haired gentleman arose to speak and as he did so raised his hands, a signal for all to rise and sing with him. From the immediate following he seemed to be the venerable father of them all; one of that class who had been a slave.

Just as one dog will respect another dog's bone so even the fiercest forest beasts have their unwritten laws and their little conventions. One common idea which has found its way into scores of books of adventure is that the lion and tiger take advantage of the insistent call of thirst to get a supper—that is to say, they go down to the water pool, the only one for miles around, take a good drink themselves and then lie in wait for some gazelle or graffe or they coming there for a like purpose in order to spring upon the poor creature while in the act of drinking and make a meal of it. Yet this is a libelous estimate of wild beast character. The fact is that there is a sort of truce of the water hole in jungle and forest. As far as killing is concerned the drinking place is out of bounds. There is an invisible notice board on its banks which says, "Live and Let Live," and it is implicitly obeyed. There is an order of precedence. The rhinoceros gets first drink. He is the Dreadnought of the forest jungle. Then comes that old ironclad the elephant. When he has lowered the tide mark and made the water more like coffee than anything else the big pussy cats stroll down to quench their ardent tongues—the lions, the leopards in Africa, the tigers in India, the jaguars and pumas in South America. Meanwhile the shy animals—the giraffes, deer, springboks and even the buffaloes, although they are a match for a lion—stand in the background and wait till the carnivora have done. But the latter never prevent their approach to the water or waylay them on their retirement. And that is better manners—aye, and better morals—than many men show—Pearson's. INDIA'S FAMOUS ROAD. It Was the World's Greatest Highway Before Rome Was Born. Search where you will, you will find no highway in the whole world so romantic as the Grand Trunk road of India. A stately avenue of three roads in one—the center of hard metal, the roads on each side ankle deep in silvery dust—fringed by double rows of trees, it runs for 1,400 miles through the vast northern plain which skirts the Himalayas, from Calcutta to far Peshawar, which keeps sentinel at the gate of Afghanistan. From horizon to horizon it stretches like a broad white ribbon, as seemingly straight as it traced by a gigantic ruler. And dotted along its entire length are hundreds of serals (wayside rest houses), each with its arched and turreted gateway, its spacious inclosure, in which humans share shelter with oxen, camels and goats, and its central well of sparkling water. For 2,000 years the Himilayanus have looked down on this road and seen it as they see it today. It was the world's greatest highway before Rome was cradled, when the aboriginal Indians drove their cattle over the very spot where the motorcar dashes today. Alexander the Great led his Greeks along it to the conquest of northern India, and Buddha himself took his daily walks along it centuries before Christ was cradled. It has seen a hundred generations come and go, a score of dynasties rise and fall. And yet today it is to the eye exactly the same as in the long gone years when Nineveh was a proud city. —New York Journal. Parrots of Mexico What the wild pigeon once was in point of numbers to the United States the parrot, of varying shades of color and all sizes, is to old Mexico. Flights of these birds frequently darken the midday sun in the hot country, and they become so tame around the camps of engineers that the birds are given individual names and soon become regular pets. Whenever the parrots desert the forest and alight on the ground in the open spaces of the jungle the natives recognize their actions as sure warning of an impending earthquake. Second Slight An Irishman and his English friend were out rabbit shooting. They had been very unsuccessful and were returning, downhearted, when they saw a hare dart out of the hedge.

"The bal is so rich." said my host of the Siberian steppeqs (qal is the Kirghiz word for lord and master), "that what we have must seem very small to him. But he has seen our herds; does he think our horses beautiful?" I replied that we admired his horses very much and that, although they were not so large as ours, their conformation was very fine. "I have a thousand horses," continued Koorman. "How many has the bal?" I stammered that I owned five. This information produced a most depressing effect. "The bal is so rich." he said, "and yet he only owns five horses. I do not understand it. Sultan Djingir has 4,000 horses, Sultan Djumabek has 2,000 and Adam Bal is said to have 3,000, and you say that you have only five! How many sheep does the bal own?" "I regret to say: that I own no sheep," I replied. "Ah! Probably the bal owns large herds of cattle?" "I have two cows." I said. The conversation was assuming a most unfortunate turn, and I felt that I was losing ground every minute; something desperate had to be done. I remembered that I had in my pocket a colored photograph of a gorgeous hotel at Palm Beach, which I had lately received from a friend in Florida. "It is true, my friend." I said, "that I do not own any cattle or sheep of horses, but see the house in which I live when I am in my own country," and I showed them the brightly colored print. The effect was magical; the card was passed from hand to hand with every expression of amazement and delight; my stock bounded upward and never, after that fell below par. May I be forgiven for my deception!-E. Nelson Fell in Outlook. AN ANCIENT CHURCH. It Has Been In Use in France For Over a Thousand Years. Before dinner we walked for a little in the gray evening and came to an old church—one of the oldest in France, it is said, built in the ninth century and called St. Michael's. (At Nantua, in the French Juras). It is more than a thousand years old and looks it. It has not been much rebuilt. I think, for invasion and revolution appear seldom to have surmounted the natural ramparts of Nantua, and only the storm-beat and the erosion of the centuries have written the story of decay. The hand of restoration has troubled it little. We slipped in through the gathering duck and tiptoed about, for there were a few lights flickering before the altar, and we saw the outlines of bowed heads. Presently a priest was silhouetted against the altar lights as he crossed and passed out by a side door. He was one of a long line that stretched back through more than half of the Christian era and through most of the history of France. When the first priest passed in front of that altar France was still under the Carolingian dynasty. - under Charles the Fat, perhaps, and William of Normandy was not to conquer England until 200 years later. Then nearly 400 years more would creep by—dimmediaeval years—before Joan of Arc should unfurl her banner of victory and martyrdom. You see how far back into the mists we are stepping here. And all those evenings the altar lights have been lit and the ministration of priests has not failed—Albert Bigelow Paine in Harper's Magazine. Drying an Umbrella. An umbrella should never be opened in order to dry it, as the rips get sprung, and it will never roll up neatly and tightly after once dried in this manner. Doing this will also spoil the cover by straining the weave unnaturally. The correct way to dry an umbrella is to stand it on the handle that the water may run off at the points instead of gathering at the ferrule and thus rotting the material. Selecting a Husband. I would warn maidens of marriageable age to exercise due-caution in the selection of husbands.

WHEN HIS HELPER WENT MAD The Struggle For Life in Midair and the Lucky Incident That Enabled Merrill to Overcome the Cunning Lunatale in His Death Grapple. In Cleveland Moffett's "Careers of Danger and Daring" is this incident of real life that was told to Mr. Moffett by Merrill, the famous steeplejack, to whom it occurred: "Did you ever have an impulse to jump off a steeple?" I questioned, recalling the sensations of many people in looking down even from a houseet. "I've kept pretty free from that," said he, "but there's no doubt climbing steeple does tell on a man's nerves. Now, there was Dan O'Brien. He had an impulse to jump off a steeple one day and a strong impulse too. He went mad on one of the tallest spires in Cincinnati, right at the top of it," "Went mad?" "Yes, sir, raving mad, and I was by him when it happened. I forget whether the church was Baptist or Presbyterian, but I know it stood on Sixth street, near Vine, and there was a big hand on top of the steeple with the forefinger pointing to heaven. "We were putting fresh gilding on this hand. I was working on the thumb side and O'Brien on the little finger side, both of us standing on thy stagings about the size of a chair seat and both of us made fast to the steeple by life lines under our arms. That's an absolute rule in climbing steeples—never to do the smallest thing unless you're secured by a life line. "It was coming on dark, and I was hurrying to get the gold leaf on, because we'd given the hand a fresh coat of sizing that would be dry before morning. We didn't spoken for some time, when suddenly I heard a laugh from O'Brien's side that sent a shiver down my spine. Did you ever hear a crazy man laugh? Well, if ever, you do you'll remember it. I looked at him and saw by his face that something was wrong. "What are you doing?" said I. "He answered very polite and steady like, but his tone was queer. 'I'm trying to figure out how long it would take a man to get down if he went the fastest way.' "I thought I had better keep him in a good humor, so I said. 'I'll tell you, what Dan, you brace up and get this gold on, and then we'll race to the ground in our saddles.' "That's a fair idea," said he in a shrill voice, 'but I've got a better one. We'll race down without any saddles; yes, sir, without any lines, without a blamed thing.' "Don't be a fool, Dan. What you want to do. is to get that gold on—quick." I tried to speak sharp. "No, sir; I'm going to jump, and so are you." "I caught his eye just then and saw it wasn't any time to bother about gold leaf. I reached up and caused the hitch of my line around the hand so I could swing toward him. I knew if I once got my grip on him he wouldn't make any more trouble. But I'd never had a crazy man to deal with, and I didn't realize how tricky and quick they are. While I was working around to his side and thinking he didn't notice it he was laying for me out of the corner of his eye, and the first thing I knew he had me by the throat and everything was turning black. I let go of the line and dropped back on my saddle board helpless, and if it hadn't been for blind luck I guess the people down below would have got their money's worth in about a minute. But my hand struck the tool box as he pressed me back, and I had just strength enough left to shut my fingers on the first tool I touched and strike at him with it. The tool happened to be a monkey wrench, and when a man gets a clip on the head with a thing like that he's pretty apt to keep still for awhile. And that's what O'Brien did. He keeled over and lay there, and I did, too, until my head got steady. Even then I guess we'd both have fallen if it hadn't been for the life lines. "The rest was simple enough after I got my senses back. Dan was unconscious, and all I had to do was fasten a rope to him and lower away. They took care of him down below until the ambulance came, and he spent that night in a hospital. And he's spent most of his years since then in an asylum, his mind all gone except for short periods, when he comes to himself again, and then he always starts out to put an end to me. That last impulse to destroy me has never left him." Not In His Line. A society for disseminating religious literature once sent a bundle of tracts to a railway manager for placing in the waiting room with the title, "A Route to New Jerusalem." He returned them, with the message, "We cannot place the tracts, as New Jerusalem is not on our system."-London Tit-Bits.

Some of the fashions in France during the reign of unfortunate Queen Marie Antoinette were exceedingly absurd, particularly hairdressing and hats, which were trimmed with such an extravagant wealth of feathers that the coaches had to have their seats lowered. According to Mme. Campan, "mothers and husbands murmured, and the general rumor was that the queen would run the French ladies." One day Louis XVI decided to forbid the court in a body to follow the royal hunt in coaches. In order to be freer he wished only to permit 'real sportsmen to attend. The noble ladies immediately rebelled, and the Princess of Monaco criticised the decision by means of her headaddress, upon which arose a miniature royal coach, followed by two gentlemen on foot in gaiters. On the left of this was displayed a cypress garnished with black tears, the large roots being formed of crane. More absurd still was the hairdressing of the mother of Louis Philippe, upon whose head every one could admire her son, the Due de Beaujolais, in the arms of his nurse, as well as a parrot pecking at a cherry. Contemporary Opinion of Beothoven. When the First Trios and the First Symphony appeared the conservative critics declared that they were "the confused explosions of a talented young man's overweening conceit." The Second Symphony was called a monster, a dragon wounded to death and unable to die; thrashing around with its tail in impotent rage! Later Von Weber declared of the sublime Seventh Symphony that "the extravagances of this genius have reached their ne plus ultra, and Beethoven is quite ripe for the madhouse!"—Dole in "Famous Composers." A Remarkable Shawl. The empress of Russia was once presented with a shawl of a remarkable kind. It is contained in a box only a few inches square. In which it fits easily, yet when it is shaken out it is ten yards square. This notable gift was the work of some women weavers in Orenberg, southern Russia, by whom it was presented. The box containing it is of wood, with hinges, hoops and fastenings of beaten silver. A War Horse. A professor who had bought a shabby looking horse asked his coachman to try it. After the animal had been driven around the road a few times the professor asked Pat: "What do you think of him?" "Bedad, he'd make a fine war horse," said Pat. "Why, how is that?" asked the professor. "Because," said Pat, "he'd sooner die than run."—Pittsburgh Telegraph. She Explains. "It is impossible. Ferdy. I can't marry you."

Miss Sadie Lange, a music pupil Prof. Adams, will soon return to her home in Bermuda Island in a vacation trip to the United States. Miss Lange is acquainted with Lord Kitchener of the British army, she having served in the household of his brother, General Frederick Kitchener, former governor or over the Bermuda Islands, and was treated as one of the family. She tells Prof. Adams that General Kitchener and an interesting African valet he "brought from England with him, who had entire charge over his mansion and estate, including both white and colored servants, and the General though much of him, even though he wore rings in his ears and bracelets on his wrists.

AFRICAN TROOPS' LOSE FEAR OF WHITES. One J. M. Hoffman of Riverside Drive, New York City, has returned from the Belgian Congo, Africa, and tells a highly exciting story to the effect that the use of 20,000 native Africans as troops by the Allies makes for a dangerous precedent and menaces the safety of the white man in Africa in case of an uprising of the natives. "Before this," says Hoffman, "the native African has been taught that a white man's body is inviolate, but this employment of natives as soldiers will teach—that the white man is not to be feared, any more." It has for years been the custom of the Belgian government to use force and force to hold the native African laborers, but it is truly probable, according to Hoffman, that this cannot be successfully done in the future.

The British navy can pass under it, and its biggest dreadnaught looks like a pygmy in comparison. The highest bridge in the world is the wonderful single span which crosses the gorge discovered by Livingstone, into which the mighty Zambezi leaps in a fall only matched by Niagara. This light, ally looking structure is 400 feet above the river bed, so that the dome of St. Paul's could comfortably stand beneath it. The longest single span in the world is the span of Brooklyn bridge. It is a suspension bridge, and its supporting towers are 1,600 feet apart. Imagine the strength of the cables capable of supporting such a terrific dead weight, to which add the surging traffic of two vast cities. The two longest bridges in the world are the Tay bridge in Scotland and the great bridge which carries the railway across the St. Lawrence at Montreal. The most ornate bridge in the world is the Tower bridge across the Thames. In fact, it is perhaps the most beautiful bridge in existence. It is unique, too, in that it is both a girder bridge and a suspension bridge and is also like the ancient drawbridges of romance. Its cost was £1,500,000, which is just about half the amount the Forth bridge cost—London Chronicle. INFLATION AS A DEFENSE Easy For the Puffer Fish to Balk It Natural Enemies. The puffer fish affords a novel example of the way nature sometimes works to protect her creatures. The many different species inhabit all tropical and other warm seas and certain large rivers. Few of them reach a length of more than two feet. The peculiar characteristic common to all of them is their ability to inflate themselves with air or water until they become almost spherical in shape. The air or water that fills the abdomen or the esophagic sac is retained by a valve in the throat and can be discharged almost instantly. A few good sized scup were placed in one of the exhibition tanks of the New York Zoological society with a dozen puffers about two inches long. The hungry scup at once attacked the puffers, but in an instant every puffer inflated itself so completely with water that it became almost globular. All the scup could do was to knock them about like toy balloons, too big to be swallowed, too smooth to afford any hold to the jaws. Puffers that become frightened near the surface of the sea and are inflated with air sometimes drift ashore, where they roll along the sands until they die and are dried by the sun and wind. The Japanese make lanterns of their dried inflated bodies, for the stretched skin is as transparent as oiled paper. Youth's Companion. HOTEL HOTEL 'DALE CAPE MAY. N. J.

At all times of the year in Kandy, Ceylon, may be seen followers of Buddha making their way$^2$ to the great Mahigawa temple, the "Palace of the Sacred Tooth," in order to lay offerings and flowers at the shrine of the founder of their religion. Entering the temple, they pass into a small room, some twelve feet square, in which is kept the famous tooth o Buddha. The chamber is lighted by two lamps which have not been allowed to go out for years. The walls are splendidly decorated; and the vessel—called the Karundu—containing the tooth glands on a massive silver table amidst a gorgeous array of jewels and other valuable gifts. The Karundun is draped with muslin, beneath which is a silver dome studded with gems, and under this is a dome of gold, beautifully carved and literally incrusted with precious stones. Two similar coverings lie below them, and beneath these is a small case of gold, in which on leaves of a gold lotus reposes the tooth itself. This relic carefully guarded, is seldom seen by others than priests. So much in reverence is the tooth held that to lay an offering to Buddha on the table bearing it is an ambition which every Buddhist would not fall to gratify if circumstances permitted.—Pearson's Weekly. WORK IS HEALTH. Idleness is Often the Cause of Human Disease and Decay. Work is not the curse nor the affliction that some people think it is. When taken, in proper doses it is the best of medicines. It is now being prescribed for many forms of invalidism, such as heart disease, Bright's disease, nervousness and particularly for insanity. The lack of work is often the cause of many chronic maladies, and it is a wise physician who can determine when one needs work instead of rest and in prescribing the remedy produce no unpleasant situations. About the most unhealthful person as well as the most unhappy and use less, is the person with nothing to do. Work is a dispeller of fears. It is the exercise that is as essential to the body and mind as are food and air. It is only when work is carried to excess that it becomes injurious, as in the case with food, rest and all good things The ideal of a healthy, happy life is no longer a world where work is not necessary and life is one grand sweet song of idleness. Life is activity; in the broad sense it is work—work that produces and entails sacrifice. It is not less work that we need, but work in the right proportions and under the right conditions. Such work is health—North Carolina Health Bulletin. The Oasis of Jupiter The oasis of Siva is better known as the oasis of Jupiter Ammon, one of the most famous oracles of antiquity. The visit of Alexander the Great to this temple was among the most romantic incidents of his career. He came to ask whether he was only the son of the mortal Philip or the son of the great god himself. Apparently Alexander received full assurance from the oracle of his divine origin, with the promise of unbroken victory until he should be taken away to join the gods. And many signs showed his superhuman status. Rain fell in the desert just when his soldiers' thirst required it, and when his guides lost their way two speaking serpents or ravens appeared to direct them—London, Chronicle. Took It as a Joke. There is a story of Mr. Disraeli at the time of his extremelybumptious youth when he had just returned from his travels in the east: As a young man, much under thirty, he met Lord Melbourne, who was then prime minister, at dinner. Lord Melbourne proceeded to discourse on the eastern question, but instead of listening to the prime minister with the respect which he ought young Disraeli said, "It seems to me that your lordship has taken your knowledge of the east from "The Arabian Nights."" Some prime ministers would have snubbed the young man severely. Lord Melbourne was.not of that kind. He rubbed his hands with great cheerfulness and said to the young man, "And a devilish good place to take it from!" Perverted Proverbs A thrown kiss spreads no germs. One swallow doesn't make a supper. It's a long loan that has no returning. It is more blessed to give than to be given away. A little change in the pocket is worth two changes in the weather.—Boston Transcript. Her Retort. Husband (at breakfast)—Oh, for some of the biscuit my mother used to make!

Evidently, therefore, every human being could profit from the words of our Golden Text and receive a blessing in proportion as he would follow the spirit of that text. However, we are not to forget that the Apostle is addressing, not the worldly, but the saintly—the Church, which is composed exclusively of persons who have left the world, turned their backs upon sin, accepted the Lord Jesus as their Savior and Advocate with the Father, and consecrated their lives unreservedly to the doing of the Father's will. Such, begotten of the Holy Spirit, are in the Bible styled New Creatures in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17.) To these, "old things have passed away; all things have become new"—new hopes, new aims, new ambitions, new prospects, new standards. According to the Bible, God has great and precious provisions for the According to the great and precious world in the future, but not now. Now the Church of Christ is being selected from the world, to constitute the Royal Family of the future, when completed and perfected by the First Resurrection. Then this Royal Family, as God's Kingdom, will deal with the world in the future, but not now. Now the Church of Christ is being selec- ted from the world, to constitute the Royal Family of the future, when completed and per- fected by the First Resurrection. Then this Royal Family, as God's Kingdom, will deal with the world of mankind, ruling, instructing, uplifting, blessing all the willing and obedient. Then the world will have its chance for sowing and reaping. The Soil and the Seed. The Christian's heart is consecrated soil from the time when God accepts him as a child. Under Divine instructions special flowers and fruits are to be cultivated, styled fruits and graces of the Holy Spirit. All Christians obedient to the Voice from Heaven are seeking to eradicate the weeds of sin and selfishness, which spring naturally in their flesh because of heredity. Originally, Father Adam's flesh was perfect. The weeds of sin had not been planted. But now there is no pure soil; sin-weeds are everywhere. Every Christian who would have the consecrated garden of his heart fruitful, pleasing to the Lord, must wage a vigorous and continual battle against the weeds of sin, in order that his heart may be in condition to receive the good seed commended in the Divine Word. He must also battle against the thorns—the cares of life and the deceitfulness of riches, which would choke the Word and make the life unprofitable—Matthew 13:22. The Christian who would receive the Master's "Well done!" must be very diligent in the sowing of the proper seeds in his heart, Acts, words and thoughts are the good seeds; and they must be sown persistently. They will yield the peaceable fruits of righteousness—meekness, patience, gentleness, long suffering, brotherly kindness, love.—2 Peter 1:5-11. It is important that we sow good seed; and there is just one storehouse from which this is supplied—the Word of God. Whoever keeps this seed pure, free from contamination with worldly wisdom—"science falsely so-called"—and from traditions of men—creeds—is best prepared to produce fruits and flowers of the Master's approval. What It Is to Sow to the Flesh. A mistake made by some of God's people is that of sowing to the flesh. after having agreed to sow merely to the Spirit—in harmony with God's will. Sowing to the flesh does not mean a thorough rebellion against the Lord, but ratier the procurement and the sowing of bad seed—unprofitable seed. The spending of time, energy, money, etc., in the pursuit of Pulling Garden Weeds. pleasure, of earthly things or of earthly riches, whether successful or not, is sowing to the flesh. The tendency of all such neglect of the Christian's covenant with God is toward corruption—death. Let us exhort one another to sow to the Spirit—in accord with the glorious promises of God, which we have accepted and to which we should be bending every energy in the development of the fruits of the Spirit. The Apostle urges that each Christian bear his own burden rather than to lean on the brethren; and that while seeking to do for ourselves, we should be tender-hearted toward each other, yea, toward all men. If we find a brother of the Household of Faith overtaken in a fault, we should show our own spirituality in the manifestation of the spirit of meekness and kindness toward him, remembering that we ourselves might some time be overtaken in a fault. Our standing in Christ is not because of human perfection, but because of proper wills, good intentions; fully consecrated hearts.

Mr. Pate and Mr. of Car AS THEY WERE AS THEY WERE DENMARK ONCE A POWER. When the Tiny Kingdom, Conquered and Rulled Great Britain. Among the little nations of Europe there is one that is seldom mentioned, except when some vessel contrives to thread its dangerous way through the Skagerrack and Cattagat. Then Denmark comes into the daily news. Did you know that Great Britain was once ruled from the capital of this tiny and remote kingdom? It has been almost 900 years since the stalwart Canute completed the conquest of England, expelling both the Celtic and the Saxon rulers of the British Isles. When he had completed his conquest and soothed the feelings of his new subjects by marrying the widow of their former king he added Norway to his crown possessions. One of his successors ruled over the whole of the Scandinavian peninsula and a large section of what is now German and Russian territory, surrounding the Baltic sea. Today Denmark dips one hand in the icy waters of the north and the other in the blue gulf stream, for she rules not only Iceland and Greenland, but Santa Cruz, St. Thomas and St. John known as the Danish West Indies. From the earliest times, when Charlemagne established the buffer state, known as the Danish Mark, on his northern frontier, the Danes have been a powerful seafaring people, emerging from piracy into legitimate commerce. When the old princely line died out a prince of Schleswig-Holstein was invited to the Danish throne, and in 1601 the clergy combined with the common people against the nobility and in behalf of the king. A constitution was not granted until the year 1860.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. THE KING'S COURIERS. England's "Silver Greyhounds" Have Hard Work and Poor Pay. The most exciting job that can be held in the United Kingdom is that of king's messenger. He is charged with the delicate and in war time dangerous duty of carrying important state papers in cases when it would be either unwise or impossible to use the telegraph or the postal service. During war the king's messenger has nearly as difficult a task as has the dispatch rider, who is actually at the front. He must be continually on the lookout for spies, and it is quite within the probabilities that the steamer on which he is traveling may be stopped by an enemy vessel and his valuable papers taken from him. Owing to the fact that they wear a badge consisting of a silver greyhound surmounted by a crown, king's messengers are nicknamed "silver greyhounds" and indeed they often have to imitate that breed of dog in swiftness and sureness of scent. To qualify for a messengership many things are needed. The candidate must be a man of first rate education, of excellent family and a good linguist. Considering the qualifications required, the salaries of the "silver greyhounds" are by no means large. The foreign service messengers receive remuneration ranging from $1,250 to $2,000 a year, while those employed on home service get from $650 to $1,225 a year.—Philadelphia Ledger. A Callous Letter Carrier A woman from up state, who recently returned from a visit, to friends in Brooklyn, remarked: "I'm glad to get back home among my own kin and friends, where people ain't too busy or too unfeeling or too stuck up to take some interest in one another. "Now, there's them postoffice folks down in Brooklyn! I found 'em actually hard hearted. Would you believe it, the man that brings round the letters to Mary's he's so queer and standofish that when he handed me my husband's postal card telling me how mother had fell and broke 'her arm, he never so much as opened his lips to give me one word of sympathy. No, shi, not even enough to say. 'Too bad!'"—Exchange. Taking No Chances. "I have called," said the complacent visitor to the office of the merchant prince, "to obtain a statement of your assets and liabilities." "Which of the mercantile agencies do you represent." "Neither. I am considering making an application for your daughter's hand, and it has always been my rule to be sure I'm right before I go ahead." —Richmond Times-Dispatch SALUTES BY GUNFIRE. Origin of the Custom and of the 101 Blaats For Monarchs. There is a good deal more in this most delicate and important matter of salutes by gundre than is always understood. It has a history of its own, which goes back nearly as far as the use of gunpowder in war, and whether it was adopted as a means of reassuring one's visiting acquaintances that one's guns were empty of cannon balls and one's soul of guile or whether it was begun merely as an organized noise in honor of a guest does not greatly matter. Toward the end of the fifteenth century a salute of guns was a recognized compliment, though the number to be fired seems to have varied. An accident is said to have settled when to stop firing in the royal salute. The Emperor Maximilian I., returning to the city of Augsburg after an expedition, was received with what should have been a salute of a hundred guns. The officer in charge of the artillery lost count in his nervousness and in order to make sure that the full number was rendered discharged an extra piece. The city of Nuremburg, which was the next to have the honor of entertaining the emperor, thought that the new number was official and followed the example of Augsburg. Thus the highest honor that was payable by gunfire Lecaine 101 rounds. The greatest salute ever fired was that of 1,001 guns, which in 1840 greeted the arrival in France of the ship bearing Napoleon's body from St. Helena, although at the imperial durbar in 1911 the imposing salute of 101 "guns," each fired by salvos of six pieces, was no bad second. Of others there was a salute fired some few years ago at the blessing of the waters of the Neva by the present scar that might well have marked an epoch. There was also the salute without which the kaiser on his famous visit to Palestine refused to land at Belrut—Perceval Landon in London Telegraph. Locating Icebergs. The captain of an ocean steamer in most cases finds out when his vessel is approaching an iceberg from the men down in the engine room. That sounds queer, but it is a fact nevertheless. It appears that when a steamship enters water considerably colder than that through which it has been going its propeller runs faster. Such water usually surrounds the viciousage of icebergs for many miles. When the propeller's action therefore is accelerated without the steam power being increased word is passed up to the officer on the bridge that icebergs may be expected, and a close lookout for them is established. There are natural reasons for the propeller acting in this way, and sea captains will assert the same thing. One Good In Elimay House. The Japanese have an easier time than their confesses in Europe. Crime in the land of the chrysanthemum is almost limited to theft and cases of bodily harm resulting from street brawls. It is next to impossible, the chief of the Tokyo police says, for a murder to be committed without some one hearing of it at the moment. This is due to the fact that the houses are composed of paper and bamboo, so any noise in a house occasioned by robbers or assassins would not fall to attract the attention of neighbors.—Dunedey Advertiser. No Hope For Them. "Some folks fuss with the world because it won't turn to look at them," says a Georgia philosopher, "but if it should stop to hear their complaints they'd soon be fussing because it doesn't talk back. There's no pleasing them this side of heaven, and even up there the angels wouldn't know how to make 'em feel at home."-Atlanta Constitution. Taken at His Word. He (after marriage)—What! You have no fortune! You said over and over again that you were afraid some one would marry you for your money. She—Yes, and you said over and over again that you would be happy with me if I hadn't a cent. Well, I haven't a cent. Too Busy. "When a cook is making her bread she is unlike the rest of the world in one particular. "What is that?" "She does not want her friends to come to her in her hour of knack."—Baltimore American. Good actions ennoble us, and we are the soils of our own deeds.—Cervantes. CHEAP IMPLEMENTS CHEAP Bought of JOHN A.

Attractions Those Who Do Not Know Their Country Would Find. I have crossed the equator thirty-six times and been around the world four times, and, on the side, I have been in every state of the United States. In all I am certain that I have traveled much over 200,000 miles. I am frequently asked by friends where to travel on pleasure, and I always say, "See American first." If I had a month's leisure and a few hundred dollars to spend in traveling for pleasure I would turn to the great west. Starting from New York, I would pass through Buffalo and stop off long enough to see Niagara falls and the theatre to Chicago, and through Milwaukee and on to the Twin Cities, spending a few days in the lake region of Wisconsin and Minnesota, where I would find fishing, canoeing and sailing on some of the most beautiful in- land waters of the world. Continuing westward, the attractions of Glacier National park in the northwest corner of Montana would surely lure me to stop for a few days. From this paradise I'd journey westward and see Mount Rainer National park, which covers more than 200,000 acres. World travelers have called Mount Rainer the "king of all mountains." I would be sure to go to Tacoma and Seattle and Punget sound. If I had the time I certainly would take a ship at Seattle and go to see the wonders of Alaska, with its beckonds that outrival the Norwegian fjords. I would not miss Portland—the Rose City—where the queen of flowers blooms in profusion most of the year. From Portland I could go via boat or train to San Francisco, with its famous Golden Gate, and on southward to Los Angeles or turn my face toward the rising sun and visit Salt Lake City in the shadow of the Wasatch mountains. From Salt Lake City to the Yellowstone National park is an overnight run by train, and I'd not miss this reservation for anything. If my thirst for mountain scenery was still unsatisfied I should come east by way of Denver, situated one mile above sea level and surrounded by snow mountains that show their rugged outlines against the sky for more than 200 miles, of which Pikes peak is the dominating feature. From here on I would journey home as time and fancy dictated. On all sides and by whatever route I might select I would find an attractive country with ripening orchards, waving fields and smiling farms through which to pass. Throughout this entire holiday I would have no troubles from wrestling with foreign languages nor with unfamiliar collage. There would be no vexatious customs to pass, no irritating police regulations to observe—Dr. W. E. Alughbaugh in Leslie's. Interpreting a Problem. Apropos of the problem of the greatest number that can be expressed by three figures. L. Capitaine writes that the figures $9^{00}$ may be interpreted in two different ways. They may mean the ninth power of the ninth power of 9, or they may mean 0 raised to the ninth power of 9. The ninth power of 9 is 387,420,489. This number raised to the ninth power is nothing so tremendous; any one could do the necessary calculation with a little time, as the result has only about seventy-five figures. But if we accept the second interpretation—9 raised to the ninth power of 9—it means that we shall have to multiply 9 by itself 387,420,489 times, which is a very different thing. If All the World Were Perfect: If all the world were perfect an intolerable sameness would be stumped upon humanity from one end of the earth to the other, "For the love of heaven," some one has exclaimed, "let me retain my defects. That is the only thing I really have." Moreover, there are some really quite captivating human defects. But it is important to control them so that they may never become obnoxious.—Antole Le Braz in Outlook. To Mend a Tablecloth. When a tablecloth begins to break or a small hole appears, cut a piece of white paper some larger than the place to be mended, haste securely over the hole and stitch on sewing machine, lengthwise and crosswise, very closely and evenly. It will look much neater and is easier than darning or patching by hand. I also mend sheets and bedspreads the same way. The paper will disappear when washed.—Farm and Fireside. ▲ youth dashed into the florist's shop. "There was something wrong about those red roses you sent the lady on Lincoln avenue," he declared. "I'm sure they were sent," replied the florist. "I remember the order. You said you wanted the very cheapest ones, a dozen and a quarter. Here, Joe." The new boy came forward. "You remember those roses you took to Lincoln avenue. Sure you got the address right?" "Yes, sir. I took it off the bill for 'em, sir." "Bring the bill here." "I can't, sir. I put it in the box with the roses!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. London's Backward Suburb. Wimbledon proved itself in one respect the most backward of London suburbs. Until 1002 the streets of Wimbledon were still lit by oil, and the lamplighter could be seen every evening making his rounds, with his ladder on his shoulder. The Wimbledon lamplighter used matches instead of tinder and steel, but otherwise his methods were the same as those pursued by his predecessors in the days of Queen Anne—London Mall. Head of Department—What's this lying on my desk? The last dunning letter received from my tailor, duly initialed by all my clerks. Oh, dear! What have I done? Actually sent it around to be duly noted by the whole staff without taking the trouble to look at it!—Flegende Blatter. "Gentlemen," remarked the professor, "the general function of the heads of several learned members of this class is to keep their neckties from slipping off."—Harvard Lampoon. The true services of life are inestimable in money and are never paid.—R. L. Stevenson. Long Winded Discussion. "Pa. what is meant by filibustering?" "Talking against time, my son." "Do you ever filibuster, pa?" "No, my boy. With the exception of that imposed by physical exhaustion, there is no limit to the debates in this particular house."—Birmingham Age-Herald. "He has been knocking me to the girl I go with." Never be in your place of business when a person wants to borrow money of you, because if you are in you will be out, but if you are out you will be in—London Answers. Extremely Careful. "I want a careful chauffeur, one who takes no chances." "That's me, sir. I require references or salary in advance."—Judge. The just loses its point when he who make it is the first to laugh S-hiller J.

The recent cool spell has thrown a damper on business on the Jersey Coast and all eyes are turned to Chicago, where the hotel lobbies, elevators, restaurants and amusement places are in a busy state on account of fat tips. Many of he off watch among the waiters and bellmen are putting in double time. A general slogan among them is, "Get the money while it's here." The delegates from this city, although they had trouble at the convention hall about their seats, made a fine showing in many of the fashionable restaurants of the convention city. Among the G. O. P. delegates is a very prominent head waiter from Atlantic City, N. J., who was ably supported by hundreds of his Colored and white comrades of that city. Harvey's Restaurant will close for the season on Saturday. June 24, to open in the fall with Charles N. Pryor as head waiter. John Clarke, the well-known hotel and dining car man, is in the city on account of death in the family. WHO WILL WIN THE PRESIDEN'S WIFE'S HANDKERCHIEF.
