OLD FOLKS HOME OLD FOLKS HOME National, Chant Club Organized to Help The Aged—A Loyal Friend Comes to The Rescue and Saved The Old Folke From Being Sct Out The Old Folks Home at 1512 Corcoran street Northwest has undergone a reorganization and from all indications, it will be placed upon a solid foundation. Some time ago the old folks were about to be set out but Mrs. Elizabeth Baylor, a very well known citizen in this city applied to some of her friends to save the home and keep the old Colored folks from being set out. A very prominent white gentleman and lawyer read to her assistance upon the home has been placed on a solid foundation as will be seen by the following: The National Charity Club was recently incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia by a group of ladies composed mostly of members from the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, viz: names of incumbents for the specific purpose, taking over the Interstate Old Street Home, located at 1512 Corcoran Street N. W., Washington, now known as the Corcoran Street Old Folks Home, by purchasing the property, which sale has been consumed and the deed passed. Mrs. Elizabeth Baylor, President, Mrs. Daisy Anderson, Vice-president, Mrs. Alma Hill Secretary, Miss Louisa Frazier, Mrs. Anne M. Lawrence, Mrs. Lucy Rice, Mrs. Sadie Johnson, Mrs. Mary Moten, Mrs. Sarah Fairfax, Mrs. Lena Ennis, Miss Jeanette Carter. We wish to congratulate these good women in this undertaking. The Home is badly needed and it is hoped all will come, to the assistance of the Home, and to these ladies in their good work. There are now twenty-one inmates in the home, some of whom are invalids. Indirectly these ladies had been supporters of and contributors to the Home since its establishment about three years ago. Some few days ago knowledge came to these women of the falling financial conditions of the former management and that the Home's inmates were at the point of ejection' by order, of court to satisfy a certain judgment, if the inmates were not otherwise removed, therefore some outside assistance was very necessary. Something had to be done quick. The President of the Club, Mrs. Elizabeth Baylor, at once called to see her legal and business manager who interceded between the Home resulted in the re-establishment of the Home at the above address and which is now entirely under a new management in this great undertaking. The management have already made some changes in the operation of the Home. There are many more to be made. It is the purpose of the management to build their operation on economic and solid basis by injecting the confidence of the public into the operation, which the ultimate outcome will be a creditable institution built up by these good women and their business manager. It is also the desire of the management to organize in connection with the National Charity Club, a Society to be known as the Women's Co-operative Society with temporary headquarters at 1608 13th, street N. The purpose of this society is as follows: The subscribing members to pledge their moral and financial support to co-operate with the National Charity Club, Inc., and to the Home to the extent financially or fifty cent per month to be expended in the discharge of the running expenses of the Home, and to perform such other acts as may become necessary to maintain and uphold the dignity of said Home. "A FOOL THERE WAS!" The Greatest Sensation In Years at the Lafayette Next Week. Robert Hillard's most brilliant and successful vehicle, "A Fool there Was," which probably had a longer run than any play in recent years, will be the offering of the Lafayette Stock Company next week, and it bids fair to be the sensational event of the company's season. "A Fool There Was," which is by Porter Emerson Browne, may be classed as the study of a woman vampire. It was suggested by Rudyard Kipling's poem: A 'Fool there was, and he made his prayer, To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair'. In Mr. Brown's play, we have an American man of affairs of such marked ability that he is sent by the President of the United States on a mission to the English Government. He is married and adores his wife and six year old, child. His home life in all its aspects is ideally happy. He is to leave his wife and child in America during his brief absence abroad. Immediately before he arrives on board the ship that will take Him across the Atlantic, the 'empire woman puts in an appearance. One of her victims, a desperate young fellow, is waiting for her. He draws a revolver, but, cruel in his passionate strength she bends forward her neck and says 'Kiss me!' Instead of doing so, the young did fires a bullet into his head. The audience is allowed to understand that he was quite cray, owing her desertion of him. In life and death he was her "Fool". and deign he sight of this vampire woman, an exchange of glances begins the husband's downfall. He knows of the suicide, of its cause, and the woman's history. Yet after that single glance he can hardly control himself in parting with his wife and child, and his best friend. This friend is a wealthy young broker, who had never told his love, but remained devoted to the wife after her marriage. Later, episodes disclose the facts that the husband became the companion of the vampire woman in London, that he travelled with her in Europe, forgetful of his family ties, and that he returned to New York to find himself shunned by society, relieved of his mission by the President, though a seat in the Cabinet may have been his reward, and separated from his wife and child. All this is told and the husband is re-introduced in the early stage of his degeneracy as a brandy drinker, conscious of the calamities he has brought upon himself, but powerless to cut loose from the vampire woman. He profanes his relations with her by calling it love; but his friend in a terrific scene denounces him for what he is. Finally, after a year the "Fool" is shown as a wreck of humanity; brandy-sodden, mind and body destroyed. His one chance for redemption is hopeless when the vampire woman returns to gloat over the wreck. He dies in an attempt to strangle her, leaving her triumphant over the body of another "Fool". NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL WILL CLOSE. The National Training School for Women and Girls, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president, announces the following: COMMENCEMENT 1917. Sunday, May 27—Baccalureate Ser- Thursday, May 31—Field Day—In dustrial, Exhibit. Friday, June 1-5:30 P. M., Commencement Exercises. Rev. William P. Hayes, D.D., the scholarly and successful Pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, New York, City will preach the Baccalaureate Sermon, Sunday 27th at 3:30 P. M.

Students will present Class" Legacies." The work done in the various Industrial Departments will be on exhibition. School and Class Songs, speeches by Class representatives and the usual "Field Day" spirit will make Thursday, May 31st, a very "big day" on "The Hill."

A number of out of town Trustees are planning to attend the Commencement. This has been the most successful year in the history of the School and Miss Burroughs is indeed fortunate to have the cooperation of her friends to the extent that she has run with an overcrowded house in these days of high prices and at the same time, erected the much needed Library. The people of Washington and vicinity are invited to turn out in full, to the Commencement. R. C. EDMUNDSON ADDRESSES WOMAN WAGE EARNERS. WOMAN WORK Self-Help and 'Co-Operation', was the subject of an address before the Woman Wage-Earners' Association at 704 Tea Street, on last Sunday after the Meeting was largely attended, and Mr. Edmundson's address was full of interest and inspiration. His remarks consisted in a general commendation of the Associations' aims, and a statement of the backward labor and commercial conditions a mong the local colored population, laying special emphasis in the effect of those conditions on the status of colored women. He ventured the guess that as many as 25,000 of such women are necessarily wage-earners and that another 25,000 of them are dependent partly on wages to supplement the support of families. He thought that this ratio of women wage-earners to the men is a severe reflection on the local men of the colored race. That the men themselves are almost all wage-earners. He attributed the condition also largely to extravagance and wastefulness. The speaker said that no separate class of people could make much progress, that depended solely on wages, and that the colored people should in also for manufacture and trade. He think that they have considerable money in Saving Institutions. He advises to combine these Savings laying particular stress on the deficiency of co-operation. The speaker advises the women to take the lead in this direction, and suggested as a first step, they organize a body to bear the name Yeast Club, or Leaven Club, or some such name to articulate this idea. Miss Jean Barclay, a social worker, of New York, was present, and spoke briefly, giving some encouraging counsel. She laid stress upon T. W. the admonition that each member should, do her utmost in every occupation or situation, however humble. The sentiment was warmly applauded by the audience. Friday evening, May 25, at 8 o'clock Mme. Hackley will hold a "Queens' Pageant Rally" at the Florida Ave. Baptist Church, utilizing her magnificent costumes and presenting a cast of over 150 persons, with 12 queens of different countries and their attending lord chamberlains, maids of honor and guards. Rev. W. A. Taylor is pastor of this church and the management will be in the hands of Mrs. Anna Woodrow Balley, Mrs. Maria Harris and Mrs. Lottie Taylor. Monday, May 28, Mme. Hackley will direct Queen Pageant Rally to Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, with an immense course of trained singers and impsonators of royalty. Rev. James E. Willis, the pastor, promises his friends that this will be the banner entertainment of his church's long and brilliant history. The proceeds will be for the benefit of the fund that is being raised for a new organ. Other engagements of Mme. Hackley will be given later. This brilliant songbird is doing a wonderful work for the race and is deserving of all been given by the best people in all of the sections of the country. She managed more big entertainments and has probably raised more money for churches and schools than any other woman in America. Where she has ever been there is a strong demand for her return. Washington is fortunate in being able to secure her splendid services at this time, and it is hoped her sojourn will prolong the numerous institutions here that stand. In pressing need of the powerful aid as she can render. DISCRIMINATION CONDEMNED. Two Thousand Citizenza Protest—John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church Packe With Representative Citizens. One of the largest public meetings that has ever been held in this city to condemn race discrimination was in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church last Monday night. Every available space was occupied. The meeting was held under the auspices of the National Independent League, presided over by that race advocate and politician, Rey Sylvester L. Corrothers Among the speakers were: Rev. W. C. Battle, National Committeeman, Edward F. W. Calvin, Chase, Ex-Judge, E. M. Hewdell, Bishop I. N. Ross, Judge Robert H. Terrell, Rev. J. Milton Waldron. The addresses were full of ginger and eloquence. Attorney Louis J. Taylor acted as secretary. Dr. Geo J. Richardson read a set of resolutions of the death of senator J. B. Foraker which were unanimously adopted. Resolutions were also adopted concerning discrimination in the Army and Navy against Colored Americans and also advocated the establishment of a -Colored Training Camp. FAIRMONT HEIGHTS FIRE DEMONSTRATION. Last Friday night the New Fire Engine, Company was demonstrated in the presence of a large and enthusiastic crowd. At eight o'clock the bell of the Presbyterian church was rung and stools were fired to let the village know, that there was a fire. It was a sure enough fire for Mr. Shepard Keasley, The Fire Chief, assisted by R. D. Millen, Asst. Chief, C. S. Fonsville, Secty, R. H. Tighman, Treasury, and Richard Johnson Captain. and Ruthie. She had built a house of box- es, and was set on fire at a give notice. At the stroke of the church bell, you could hear the ring; of the fire engine being pulled by men and boys who greatly enjoyed the excitement; at this moment, the excitement had reached a fever heat. Mr. C. L. Marshall as busy as Chief Wagner of the District, had his hands full assisting in rendering aid to the firemen. The fire was soon under control to the satisfaction of all the citizens of the town. This Chemical Engine proved all that the agent, "Mr. Julio J. Goday," claimed, "He and his assistant Mr. Rudgate were present." After the demonstration the agent in company with Mr. Marshall and Tilgham went to the residence of Miss Cropper where a check for $200.00 was handed Mr. Goday. The engine was set up and its working explained by Mr. Julius Wheeler of Brenwood, who was selected by the agents. Members of the Fire Company are F. A. Gray, W. L. Jones, C. L. Marshall, Silence, C. A. Parnell, W. J. Parker, J. A. Givens, and M. Charity. The engine is being housed by Mr. Marshall, until an engine house is built, which will be gone. Miss Louisa Marshall the very accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lathie Marshall, who is a teacher at Tuskegee Institute, has been chosen May Queen for the May procession at Tuskegee, this month. HOTEL NEWS. R. DeReef Miller Washington has been and is being used every day as a great mecca for big men of all description, men who are sent to fight or to boost the issues of the day that are before Congress. As soon as one set leaves another arrives. For the present we have men representing various industries, putting the new war tax and the new postal rate on magazines and periodicals. Also many food experts and representatives of the American Liquor Interest. These are but a few of the representative business men that are helping to make the hotel business boom. From the looks of things at the present time, Washington will be one of the busiest centers of restaurant trade for the coming summer. Mr. S. C. V. Height "The Shifter King" is head water at the Wilkinson Hotel at Grafton, W. Va. From all reports he is making a big success and has many friends among white and colored hotel men of West Virginia. After many improvements in order to cater to the high class colored pleasure seekers of Washington, Green Willow Park, in Anacostia, D.C., will open for its first picnic on Monday evening, May 28, 1917. It is to be hoped that the management will try to arouse the assistance, the tough element, and the noise maker on the street cars that have been a menace to the respectable colored citizens of this and other large American cities. The "African Dodger" has been stopped in the state of New York and according to reports from Coney Island, many of the colored, brothers who have been placing their heads who have a circular hole in a piece of canvas for a published art show, looking for jobs on Surf avenue, of a much higher standard. Washington Patrilarchs No. 18 joined hands with the. Washington Elks and Knights of Pythias last Tues. evening at Odd Fellows Hall at their reception. The fraternities were led to the hall by Hoffman's Military Band where hundreds of mails and matrons were waiting to dance to the harmony of Hamilton's Monumental Orchestra. The fraternities were looking their best in their well groomed uniforms. Exalted Ruler.

General Admission to Hall at night, 25c. REV. JOHN VAN, SCHAICK. Editor of The Bee: Will you allow me to call the attention of Rev. John Van Schaick to the popular sentiment against the longer retention of the colored Assistant superintendent of Schools. At the reception of the colored teachers in honor of Dr. Thurston it was evident the teachers don't take kindly to the colored Assistant. At the farewell reception to Dr. Steepleau last Tuesday night, when thecollege Superintendent was introduced the applause was faint. Are these not convincing reasons why a change in the office of the colored assistant is necessary? But is this all? The man who should have been recommended for removal was Mr. Bruce. The people demand a change. SERGEANT JOHN BUCK. The Well Known Quartermaster Sergeant Resigns His Position in the Agricultural Department and joins His Wife in Tacoma, Washington. Sergeant John Buck, formerly captain of the volunteers, war quartermaster sergeant, and one of the best known citizens of Washington, and who has a large circle of friends, left the city last evening for Tacoma, State of Washington, where he will make his future home. Sergeant Buck gives a position in the Agricultural Department for some time, but he now gives it up, and as Horace Greely said: "Go West, Young Man." Although the Sergeant is late in accepting the ad- ice of Horace Greely, he is brave enough at any rate to throw his destiny in the great West, with his most enterprising wife, who has lived in Tacoma, Washington, for 18 months. No one is better known to the people in this city, than Sergeant and Mrs. John Buck. The Bee and the citizens wish them both long life and prosperity. THE PRESIDENT REPLIES. White House The President thanks you cordially for the good will which prompted your kind message, which has helped, to reassure him and kept him in heart. CITY NOTES.

Dent, of Amherst College Now Being Trained at Fort Myer, Va.-Born at Rome, Georgia-Made Splendid Scholastic Record-Passed A Rigid Physical and Military Examination It is gratifying to note that our Race is represented in the Military-Officer Reserve Training Camps recently authorized by Congress and formally opened on May 14th. Of the 200,000 applicants, only 60,000 were accepted and 40,000 have reported for duty in the sixteen camps located in various sections of our country. It is a remarkable fact that, of the 2500 select men at Fort Meyer, Virginia, near Washington, D. C., one of that number being trained as an officer of the U. S. Army is Francis M. Dent, a Colored man who recently graduated from Amherst College, Mass., class of 1917, under special provisions made be the faculty because of War emergency. He passed an excellent physical and military examination and was highly recommended by -President Mckelkajohn, Dean Professor Olds, and a Colored man of the Latin Department. In this connection, interesting to note that Amherst College also the Alma Mater of such men as Secretary of State Lansing, Governor Whitman of New York and the late Hon. Joseph Choate, ex-Ambassador to England. Young Dent was also a classmate of Mr. Humphrey Redfield, son of Hon. Wm. C. Redfield, Secretary of Commerce. He is a Sobrina man and wears the charm that has a peculiar distinction for every son of Amherst College. He won the Latin prize for the best thesis during the current year. Before entering Amherst, he graduated from the famous Dunbar High School of Washington, D. C., where he was Adjutant of the battalion of High School Cadets. He is a modest young man, but courageous and brilliant when occasion demands. An instance of this is the fact that last year when the "Birth of a Nation" was being commended in the Chapel service because of its alleged historical value, young Dent voluntarily arose in the chapel amid that large student body and the college faculty and, in scathing terms, denounced the play by Dixon as false in history and a plausible attack upon a helpless race. Afterwards, Amherst College asked him for evidence upon which he based his spirited attack, he gave them, among other things, Gov. McCall's History of Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Major John R. Lynch's Work on Reconstruction, Rev. Dr. F. J. Grimke's strong address on the "Birth of a Nation," and "The Crisis" so ably edited by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois. He is the son of Professor and Mrs. T. M. Dent of Washington, D. C., who formerly lived in Rome, Georgia, where he was born February 19, 1894. Mr. Dent, whose commendable ambition is to serve his country, is a poor young man who by pluck and the true American spirit worked his way through college, and his splendid record and sterling ex ample should be an inspiration to every youth in the land irrespective of race. LEE—LEWIS. Dr. W. E. Lewis and Miss Fanny B. Lee, both of this city, were quietly married on Tuesday, May 8., 1917, S P. M., by Rev. M. W. D. Norman, at their new and commodious residence No. 120 S Street, N. W. The groom is one of Washington's brightest, and most prosperous young physicians, having resided in Anacostia where he has built up an extensive practice within the last few years. His father, Mr. Richard H. Lewis, is of the substantial citizens of that beautiful S. E. suburb. The bride, who is a niece of Mr. Cornellus A. Berkley, is a charming and accomplished young lady, having a host of friends, a pleasing manner and disposition which will undoubtedly serve her husband well in the matter of his practice. Doctor Lewis will still maintain his office at the home of his parents in Anacostia. He is on the staff of the Freedmen's Hospital, is a member of the G. U. O. of O. F., a member of the association of Oldest Inhabitants, of the D. C., and other fraternal organizations of Washington. The happy couple will enjoy the luxuries of their homymony on the campus of Amherst College, New York and Boston. The couple were surrounded; by a host of friends who witnessed the ceremony, the floral decorations and presents being well selected. They will return after a two week's sojourn. Among the many guests were the groom's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Lewis, the bride's sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs James Broughton of Buffalo, who were present with Mrs. Bow of Buffalo; the bride's cousin, Mrs. A. B. Morton and her daughter, Miss Grace Morton of Springfield, Mass. Mrs. C. Corbelle Berkshire, Mrs. Miss Turner, and Dr. A. Wilson and other friends of the couple. The sister of the bride acted as maid. Among the many useful presents mentioned was a tray beautifully embellished and a handsome mahogany tea table. PETAIN.

We'll fill the ranks now with burnt cork complexioned men.” “But will you enlist, Professor,” 1 timerous. ly ejaculated. “Not on your tin type,” he said.. “i'm ‘compelled to stay be- hind, In’ that case,.to urge our people to get their gun, sword aind pistol aid follow the flag.”" “Another bit of junk: talker,” I soliliquised to myself, and past on. | The next ‘patriot 1 met was Archy Grimke, known in clasele Bos- ton as Archibald... He too-was delight- ed when he learned that the remnants of the Southern -Confederacy liad re- Jonted and were willing that the gun should go in the hands of Hamites to fight in this war. In trully Bostoness language he said: “This: relenting of the relenting. relentless southern’ hler- arehy will be the, means of palpitating’ a germination’ of, patriots that will prove a palladium.” In plain Washing- ton. English he meant it would: be the means of 10,000 ebonies from around the Potamad hero enlisting. “Will you go, Mr. Archibald?” [ queried." He indulged in some further “Bostonese- Harvard enunciations, perfectly unin- telligble to 2 plebieite like me, but I made out sufficient to‘understand that his duty, to the N.A.A.C.P. would necessitate his. lianging around here figuring out the high-cost of lynchings, so.I lined him up immediately, if ot sooner, “with that “funk” brigade. Leaving this fellow, who has an aroma of Harvard clinging to his fron-gray Charlfe Chapman, I encountered Dick Thompson, the national correspond+ ent of the blackberry league of news- papers. When I imparted to Dick that coal-complexione’. “dignitaries might enlist_ now without compunetion, he rattled off a lot of words, such as “up- lift.” “spotlight.” and other areoplane words .he inflicts upon his readers. When I pinned him right down ‘as, to whether he would go, or stay behind with “the general majority, he said: “You see my “important connection with the Treasury Department fs such that I am by force of. compulsion and cohersion obliged to remain in. the catagors of a neutral.” “One mroc candidate for the degree of Junk.” 1 exclaimed with a sort of gutteral noise, and moved on: - The next: fly in the} ointment I met was Rey.

Stopping him short, in his revel inv ecstacy, I said: “Reverend Sir, getting downto brass tacks; will you gd to war?” “Why man,” he shrieked, “I ai a diyinity man, a meek and: lowly follower of the Nazzareen who promulgated: the first injunction, Thou shalt not kill," and you. know war, is a Killing thing.” I thought Simon’ Peter.

GALVIN CHASE In our three last issues we advanced some general reasons in favor of a commercial exchange for the Colored people of Washington. We heretofore intimated, it is not possible for one person or any small group of persons to grasp and solve all the local industrial and economic problems that confront us. It is a work for the many. It is a work that will require much study, much planning and will take a long time to perform. The general government has its Department of Labor, Bureau of Statistics, Census Office, and other similar bureaus or agencies to make necessary social investigation for the nation at large, and all cities have their boards of trade to give perpetual attention to local business problems of common interest and importance. In addition, there are in our country a number of volunteer general organizations that are constantly studying similar problems, among which may be mentioned the American Statistical Association, the American Economic Association, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Russell Sage Foundation. All such bodies gather facts, study those facts, and propose measures and remedies based on those facts. Their methods are scientific, methodical, precise. Their conclusions are consequently as logical and sound as conclusions from unsteed probability can be. At least, there is no hapazard or blind guess work in their methods. Thus, they are enabled to make wise and definite forecast, and plans calculated improve conditions or meet new conditions. The most of the local organizations of this character concern themselves mainly with the more restricted and more complex phases of social life wherein labor and capital, manufacture and trade are directly concerned. They are characteristically practical. They seek immediate results. Of this class are nearly all local boards of trade, commercial exchanges, and busy men's associations. All such activities, whether devoted mainly to theory or to practice, are simply fostering or helping activities. Such organizations do not themselves engage in business for profit. They all represent some species or phase of cooperation; they are all public-spirited. They have been, long since come to be regarded as necessary—except among our people. It requires but little observation to note that among the most progressive nations and races, nearly every class or interest is organized in this way, or in some way, for protection and advancement. The colored people have been the slowest as a class, to recognize this necessity. It is sometimes humorously said that the Irish and the Negroes are incapable of effective organization and team work among themselves. In the sense that this is true of either race, if true in any measure, it is not important or significant. As a matter of fact, it is not true of the Irish. They are among the most successful of all organizers. It is because they have race pride and because they are loyal. The negroes of the United States are less fortunate than the Irish in temperamental constitu- tion and in their political, industrial and other social relations with their fellow citizens. Hence the conditions that beset them require special sorts of training and special sorts of co-operation through organization. But the fact that heretofore they have not very generally resorted to this expedient for economic improvement is not evidence of their incapacity for it. Heretofore either they have not seen a motive or have not had the will. The colored people of the United States are as yet a comparatively new people as an antonomous or voluntary social factor. In some respects they can scarcely be said to be a homogeneous people with a unity of interest and purpose. In their short fifty years of political and industrial manhood and career they have been undergoing an experimental heat. They have been testing and observing themselves. It was an epochal event in their history when was established the National Association for the advancement of colored people—which by the way, every loyal and ambitious colored person should join. And we are not wanting in numerous other illustrations of the adaptability of the colored people for organization. Witness the successful church, secret society and beneficial associations. The church and secret society organizations, so far as mere forms and methods are concerned, have admirably prepared the negro for co-operation. By the reason of this preparation, he is now ready for practical business organization along co-operative lines, heretofore so long neglected. In some of the essentials to co-operative business effort, however, the colored people have shown some deficiency—not fundamental or insuperable deficiency, yet deficiency. We may as well be frank among ourselves. This deficiency must be corrected. It is to be done by a certain kind of business education—self-education. It should be one of the first undertakings of the proposed Commercial Exchange to devise ways and means to inculcate such education. In our next issue we purpose to BE-8 say something about our shortcomings in business methods and the necessity for reform. We shall speak plainly: We will try to make the fur fly, but not to hurt. The Bee sometimes stings, but does not poison. MOTHERS' DAY It is the good man or woman who loves his or her mother. It is the man or woman who has a heart and sees in woman those qualities and virtues that, intoxicate 'the mind and directs it to be human towards woman. Many beautiful sermons were delivered last Sunday; Mothers' Day, by many eminent divines. No one knows the aches, trials and tribulations that woman has in life. She watches her infant child with a jealous heart and prays to God, who rules the destinies of mothers, to spare her child to reach womanhood and manhood. After all, what is the mother's compensation, after she has toiled and labored to bring up that child to womanhood and manhood? If the child reaches the age of maturity, what thanks, does the mother receive? Often she is neglected, the child goes astray, or the cunning and deceitful man disregards the teachings of his mother to respect woman. The girl gets into, her head that the mother is cruel and oppressive, when she is only doing that which, in her opinion, will better the child's condition. Mothers some times have a selfish and deceitful heart. The mother may have a selfish nature and may attempt to influence the child to go in a direction which the child knows is dangerous to its welfare. It is the duty of a good mother to reason with her child and not drive it. Kind words have more influence on a child than harsh words. Some mothers drive a child to destruction and cause it to do things that it would not do. There are always two sides to every life, a good and bad side. Some ministers don't know the real meaning of Mothers' Day, hence they can't preach intelligently its real power. Preachers should not deal in glittering generalities but in facts and logic. The child is not always in the wrong, as some ministers declare. Some mothers are naturally devilish, mean and deceitful. They often set examples and the child often will follow them. Let us commemorate Mothers' Day, and erect monuments in their honor that will be lessons to future generations. THE GREAT FORAKER. The death of former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, at Cincin- nati, last Wednesday ushered into eternity one of the last of the few remaining stalwart 'champions of the rights of the Colored race. Senator Foraker was a heritage of that period when human rights and justice to man prevailed over the materialistic; when principle prevailed over mere policy. The Bee staunchly stood for him when he was in the flesh; when he stood in the United States Senate and defended the race, knowing all the while that defense must spell ultimate defeat for him. But what cared the great champion of human rights and justice for a defeat following the doing of the right? What cared he for a victory that might follow a desertion of justice? Senator Foraker was one of those courageous men who never counted the cost to him personally before espousing a cause he knew to be just. He preferred to be right and go down to defeat, than to be guilty of injustice and succeed. As long as time exists; as long as there remains a Colored man, the memory of Joseph Benson Foraker will be kept green. When can we forget the day he stood up in the United States Senate, a big, courageous minority, and thundered against the injustice done the valiant soldiers of the 25th Regiment? He faced a hostile senate; he faced a hostile administration that was determined these discharged warriors should not be acquitted; he faced defeat, for return to the United States Senate from his own state, Ohio. But he counted not the cost. He knew he was right, and he knew it was his duty to champion the rights of the lowly, and he did it. When Senator Foraker retired from the United States Senate there passed from the halls of congress one of the last of that old guard who subordinated policy to principle; who never hesitated to defend the race. The imperious southern Negro-hating congressmen who now sit in the Senate, elected by suppressing the Colored vote in their states, insult the race with impunity today, and without a single protest from those whose party affiliation should make our champions. They could not insult us when the matchless Foraker sat in the Senate and go unanswered. Peace, to the ashes of Joseph Benson Foraker, the courageous champion of our race. LEST WE FORGET LEST WE FORGET. When Senator Foraker died Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio gaye out an interview of fullsome praise for the diseased. In thigh of past events Senator Harding's praise, while merited, sounded like hollow mockery to the race. Had the present Senator Harding not deserted Senator Foraker in 1912. Foraker might have secured the solid Ohio delegation to the Republican National Convention. Mr. Harding, then one of Senator Foraker's chief lieutenants, deserted him, and went over to the Taft camp. In 1914, when Senator Foraker aspired to return to the Senate, his enemies, knowing how popular he was, brought out Mr. Harding, his one time lieutenant, to oppose him. Senator Foraker was the idol of the Colored race, and the 75,000 or 100,000 Colored voters back in Ohio may recall, at a time when needed, how Senator Harding deserted the greatest Senator Ohio ever sent to Washington. Senator Foraker stood for us, spoke for us, and worked for us, when in the Senate. Senator Harding, the political as silent as the tomb on the question of justice to the race. We hope, now that the spirit of that great statesman, and great friend of the Colored man, former Senator Foraker, has passed on to Him who created and inspired him, that Senator Harding, the political strategist will emulate the great Foraker in an effort to secure justice for the race. Would Senator Foraker have remained silent and dumb in the face of the rank discriminations and injustice that has prevailed against the race, and is now prevailing, silent and dumb, to our entreaties as has Senator Harding and others remained? No, never! Perhaps only for Mr. Harding. Senator Foraker might today be sitting in the United States Senate, speaking and voting in our interest, espousing principles of justice and humanity, rather than merely playing political policy. Senator Harding appears to be emulating former Senator Burton. Foraker's immediate successor, who shuts his eyes and heart, and sealed his mouth to the question of human rights for six long years. "MARVELOUS STRIDES"? "During past fifty years the (Negro) race (in the United States) has made marvelous strides along all lines of progress."—Prof. Kelly Miller, in the Evening Star of May 11. The words in brackets are ours. Here is a bold statement—a very broad proposition. The statement is so remarkable that we were constrained to turn to the dictionary and brush up on the definitions of "marvelous," "stride," "all," and progress." We find that "all" is a word peculiarly reserved to express precision. "Marvelous," denotes an attitude over and beyond what may be expected—often something supernatural. The conviction has been growing on the Bee that in the last fifty years the progress of our people has not been marvelous along all lines. Our suspicion has been growing that the only "marvelous strides" have been along lines non-essential not of prime importance, and, in some instances, not readily distinguishable from the injuries. We fail to identify any other strides that may be deemed "marvelous." In fact, we fail to discern a single "stride" of recent years in any essential direction that could be termed even remarkable. The Bee is now engaged in writing a series of articles designed to prove our view of the matter; to shame and arouse our people, and to point the road to improvement. this laborious task—of which Prof. Now while we are in the midst of Miller must be aware—here comes the Professor and brushes aside our assumption with his "marvelous" statement, and without a word of explanation. The Bee cannot ignore this statement coming from such a high authority or social statistics. If we are wrong we want to be set right. Therefore, we call on the Professor for an explanation. We ask a bill of particulars. Our columns are open to him; or we shall be glad to read his explanation in the Star. THE COLORED CAMP When Mr. J. E. Spingarn suggested the propriety of organizing a colored camp for the training of colored men for the army, he was roundly denounced by certain members of the colored press, and so-called representatives of the colored people. The Bee, however, was the first and only Journal to endorse the suggestion of Mr. Spingarn and advocated its immediate establishment and defended the position taken by the man. It has now been demonstrated that a colored camp is an absolute necessity and one has been ordered by the war department; Howard University will get that camp. The Bee has always had great faith in Mr. Spingarn and believes that his efforts have always been in the direction to advance the colored race. This opposition to the colored camp comes from the South. The South doesn't want colored Americans to be trained as soldiers for fear that colored officers will outclass many a southern gentleman who cannot stand the test that colored man can stand. In another column will be seen and read with interest, an editorial from "The Philadelphia Inquirer" of May 10. It gives the true sentiment of the South against the admission of colored soldiers in the army. OLD FOLKS HOME. Elsewhere in the Bee will be seen an article concerning the Old Folks Home, 1512 Corcoran Street, N. W. This home is entitled to receive the support and encouragement of the people in the community. There are fully 30 inmates of this home who are being cared for by the matron, Mrs. Baylor. The Bee, in connection with others, will do all in its power to help the home. Miss Homoselle Rueks, now connected with The Bee, will make an active financial campaign in the interest of this home. Miss Rueks is a very accomplished young lady and will no doubt be of some material benefit to this home. BAN ON LIQUOR There are some people too religious to enter heaven and too bad to go to the devil. The religious hypocrite is guilty of every immoral act that would make the devil blush. What is worse than a liar? Some alleged Christians are the greatest liars in the world. They will condemn the sale of liquor and commit crimes that would intoxicate liquor/itself. The greatest of all hypocrites are those who would put a ban on liquor. Mr. Abet Paine Caldwell Edifor of "The Philadelphia Curan't" died at his home 1706 N. Woodstock street on Friday at 2:30 o'clock, aged 52 years. He was buried on Monday May 14th, from Wesley A. M. E. Zion church. Rev.

TO CHASE U BOATS TO CHASE U BOATS Four Millionaires Donate Up-to-the-Minute Craft. Larger Than Type Constructed For British Navy, Which Were From Seventy-five to Eighty-Feet in Length and Powered For Nineteen to Twenty Knots. New York.—Four up to date 110 foot submarine chasers are being built at Bristol, R. I., to protect New York and adjacent territory, according to announcement at headquarters of the naval reserve force for the Third district. The entire cost of construction, equipment and ordnance is being met by A. I. du Pont, Commodore R. E. Tod, Payne Whitney and Harold Vanderbilt. Each of the boats will be of fifteen feet beam with steel hull and bulkheads and fitted with oil fuel engines. Their speed will be twenty-five miles an hour, higher than any submarine can make. Each crew will consist of nineteen men. By request of the navy department the size and character of guns that will be mounted are withheld from publication. Decision by the four men that they would build and give to the government the four boats was reached after naval experts told them the absolute need for specially constructed vessels for the mosquito fleet if any guns other than one pounders are to be used. Mr. du Pont's boat will be ready in July, the others in August at the latest, it was said. All can be used as pleasure craft also. The four boats will be somewhat similar to submarine chasers ordered for the regular force of the American navy, and details of their construction have been approved by naval officers. They will be larger than the type constructed for the British navy, which were from seventy-five to eighty feet in length and powered for nineteen to twenty knots. Five hundred and fifty of these boats were turned out in 550 days. The marine division of the Home Defense league received from Frederick D. Underwood, president of the Erie Railroad company, his yacht Ahce. It is 110 feet long, twenty-two feet beam and of good speed. Three one pounder rapid fire guns can be mounted on the decks. It is planned to make her the flagship of a fleet of forty vessels of the league. Harry T. Peterson, who is in charge of recruiting for the marine division, intimated that Mr. Underwood would be made commodore. He holds a master's license and is very familiar with the waters about Greater New York. NEWSPAPER SELLER RICH. Started as a Boy With Small Capital and Now Buys Store. Harrisburg, Pa.—Wagner Hoffman, news purveyor in ordinary to governors and other state officials, large and small, civil and military, no longer stands in his familiar place at the foot of Capitol park. Wagner has reached the age of twenty-two after fourteen years of work on the corner of Third and Walnut streets. He missed only four weeks in that period, half that time being because of illness. Starting with 10 cents of capital when he was eight years old, Wagner has now purchased a book and stationery store from an older brother and sold his "corner" to Meyer Swimmer. Wagner began as a newsboy when Pennpacker was governor and included him, Stuart, Tener and Brumbaugh among his customers. GOMPERS FOR SWISS SYSTEM Head of A. F. of L. For Universal Training. New York.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has declared himself in favor of the 'Swiss military system for the United States. "We must have a preparation that means a comprehensive development of all powers and resources of all our citizens," says Mr. Gompers. "In Switzerland every man is a soldier—not necessarily to go to war—but he has the physical and manual training necessary to defend himself, his family and his country. Under that system the Swiss have developed a manhood, a character, that challenges the admiration of the world. We will be satisfied with nothing less in America." Married Through Window. Married through Illon, N. Y.-Silveria Hopkinson was married to Charles Morroe through the window of a house. The window opened from his room. He is in bed with scarlet fever. Quarantine officers watched to see that the law was strictly observed. The Rev. J. F. Whilds of Herkimer substituted for the bridegroom in placing the ring on the bride's finger and also gave the kiss at the close of the ceremony. Cowght Rat and Opossum. Caught Rat and Observation Hazel Green, Ky. — One night红 Rob Combes set two steel traps under his house. The next morning, when he went to see what he had caught, he was surprised to see a big rat in one and a small opossum in the other. The opossum belonged to Ben Creech and had escaped. The opossum was caught by the foot and was not seriously hurt and was returned to the owner in good condition. PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER WHITENER PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER DR.

Sir Ernest Shackleton Says-That No Matter How Long War Lasts, No Matter What Burden of Suffering She Places on Rest of World, Germany Is Beaten. New York.-The selective draft finds a strong advocate in Lieutenant Sir Ernest H. Shackleton, the antarctic explorer, who arrived here on his way to report at London for duty on a special mission. The world, he said, would have to look to Amerlen, for the next thirty years for its specialists, inventors and scientists, and only by saving these by selective conscription would the United States be able to perform this great service. "Selective conscription," he said, "assigns these specialists to the posts where they will do the most good for the country instead of sacrificing them 1930 Photo by American Press Association. SIR ERNEST H. SHACKLETON. In the trenches. I am satisfied that volunteering is the costliest system in the long run. The volunteer system falls at the crucial moment, for there comes a time when all of the high hearted have volunteered and recruiting dwindles away: "That is what is happening in Australia, where conscription was defeated by popular vote. Australia already has contributed 280,000 men out of a total population of about 5,000,000, but it requires a monthly quota of 12,000 to keep this force up to strength, and already there are signs that the supply of men to be secured by volunteering is approaching exhaustion. The Australians are learning their lesson, and I think that Sir William Hughes, the premier, and his supporters will carry conscription. "England's fosses in brains under the volunteer system have been incalculable. Our specialists are being destroyed on the battlefield. America should profit by the mother country's mistake. "No matter how long the war lasts, no matter what bindens of suffering she places on the rest of the world, Germany is beaten." BEAVERS ATE HIS TREES. But State Doesn't Have to Pay Damages to Barrett. Mount Vernon, N. Y.-Following a contest in the courts for five years, William G. Barrett of Katonah has lost his claim for $1,900 against the state of New York for destruction of poplar trees by beavers on his game preserve in the Adirondacks. The decision of the court of appeals reverses the appellate division, which affirmed a judgment for that amount granted by the court of claims. The case was the first action of its kind ever tried in the state. The court of claims found that the destruction was caused by four beavers liberated on Eagle creek and their descendants that used the branches for their houses. The claimant claimed that the beavers were wards of the state. Not One Graduate Divorced: Lafayette, Ind.-Records of graduates of Purdue university show that not one young woman graduate of Purdue has been divorced.

WHOLE FAMILY TO SERVE UNCLE SAM Cincinnati—Cincinnati boasts it is the only city in Ohio to have an entire family enlist for war service. The family is that of James A. Vine. The son is a member of a guard regiment. His father has joined the regiment band. Vine's wife and daughter, evidently not of the "clinging" type, have enlisted in a Red Cross unit. --- DAY COACHES FOR TROOPS. Sleepers: Not to Be Provided Under War Conditions. Washington.—It is announced by the secretary of war that standard Pullman and tourist sleepers will not be used for the transportation of troops under ordinary conditions during the war. Day coaches hereafter will be used on the basis of one officer to each double seat and three men to each two double seats. The new order applies to all cases except journeys of unusual length, covering more than one night and one day, which cases will be separately considered when they arise. It is explained that the new regulation is necessary owing to the limited number of sleeping cars available for troop movements and to the congestion that would arise on transportation lines if sleepers had to be collected for every large movement of troops. Moreover, by doing away with sleepers, it is declared, the number of cars necessary to handle the movement is decreased by one-quarter. DE POTESTAD OFFERS SWORD Son of Ex-Spanish Diplomat Beeks United States Officer's Commission. Baltimore.-R. E. L. de Potestad, son of the late Marquis de Potestad-Fornarl, formerly Spanish diplomat in the United States, has applied for a commission in the officers' reserve corps from Maryland and has virtually been accepted by the army examining board at John Hopkins university. Leitenant Elliott, chief, examining officer, said that although Mr. de Potestad is past fifty-two he is the finest specimen of manhood that has been examined and has the physique of a man of thirty. Mr. de Potestad's father represented the Spanish government during the settlement of the Cuban claims after the Spanish-American war. He died in Switzerland several months ago. His son has a large estate near this city and is an American citizen. POMEROY CONSENTS TO WORK Notorious Life Convict at Last Mingles With Other Inmates. Boston.—Jesse Pomeroy, the state's notorious life prisoner, abandoned his objections to the revised terms of his sentence and for the first time in forty years mingled with his fellow inmates. He has been put to work. When Governor McCall and his council last January commuted that provision of Pomeroy's sentence which stipulated that he should spend his days in solitary confinement Pomeroy objected to the change that made him liable to labor. His refusal to work was punished with twenty-four hours in a dark cell and a diet of bread and water, but he declined to yield until recently. CURED BY LIGHTNING Sufferer From Rheumatism Says He Is Well Now. Indiana, Pa.—A sufferer from rheumatism each winter for the past fifteen years, Walter Loring of Rayie township believes that he was permanently cured of the disease by a stroke of lightning. While sitting in his home during a severe electric storm, the house was struck by lightning, and both he and his wife were rendered unconscious. It was with difficulty that they were revived. Lately he has not been troubled, and he believes the rheumatism was burned out of his system by the electricity which passed through his body. PROTECTS ENLISTED MEN. Bill Will Prevent Slight to Uniforms Anywhere in United States. Washington. - Representative John Jacob Rogers of Lowell, Mass., introduced a bill in the house to prevent discrimination against enlisted men wearing the uniforms of the military or naval forces of the United States in places of public entertainment. A similar law enacted in 1906 prevents such discrimination in the District of Columbia and in the territorial possessions of the United States. The Rogers proposal would make this law effective in all states as well. The measure will have the support of the administration, it is stated. MUST HOLD FLAG SACRED. Aliens Warned Summary Arrest Follows Desecution. Washington—Warning against desecration of the American flag by aliens was issued by the department of justice. The following notice was sent to federal attorneys and marshals: "Any alien enemy tearing down, mutilating, abusing or desecrating the United States flag in any way will be regarded as a danger, to the public peace or safety within the meaning of regulation 12 of the proclamation of the president issued April 6, 1917, and will be subject to summary arrest and confinement." GAINS SIX POUNDS IN DAY. Eats Four Heavy Meals to Reach Weight For U. S. Aero Service. Chicago.-McMillan Weddell of Hinsdale, a suburb, has been accepted as a recruit to the government aero service after having been refused earlier. Weddell, who is an experienced aviator, tried to enlist, but was found to weigh but 142 pounds. Recently he was accepted, having brought his weight, up to the required 148 pounds by eating four very heavy meals during the day; the meals being made up of many eggs and large quantities of other foodstuffs, together with much water. FOR DRY FARMING Can Be Practiced Where Water Is Not Available. In Missouri, In Drought of 1914, Use of Dry Farming Methods by Only Part of Farmers Largely Increased Yield of Corn Per Acre as Compared With That of 1901. Washington—With the burden of supplying the world's wartime crop facing this country, the committee on statistics and standards of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has called attention to the possibilities of dry farming. Such methods, it is declared, can be made to fit the requirements for raising many of our most important products. Dry farming is said to be the only form of agriculture which can be successfully practiced in any region where water is not available for irrigation and where rainfall is not sufficient for humid farming. The inherent purpose of dry farming, it is pointed out, is to conserve moisture in the soil until needed for growing plants. The dry farmer resorts to methods of timely and proper cultivation, harrowing, disking and plowing, to increase the penetration of water, prevent evaporation and store moisture in the soil for the benefit of the plants. "Dry farming is not an easy job, nor is the lot of the farmer in the semi-arid regions any happier at times than that of the policemen in the 'Pirates of Penance,'" says Archer Wall Douglas of St. Louis, chairman of the national commerce committee. "It is a business requiring much industry, patience, fortitude and intelligent understanding of the surrounding conditions. Likewise in the beginning it needs some reserve capital against emergencies. For there are years when, through weeks, even months, of rainless heat, the sky is as brass and the earth us iron underneath, and rainfall only a distant memory. "Yet persevered in and intelligently stuck to, it is apt to record a success and to furnish a great need for the utilization of the vast area of semiarid country. Once exploited as a panacea, then denounced as a fad, it has at last come into its own as an intelligent scientific form of agriculture, absolutely essential to the development of a large section of our country." Of particular interest in meeting war time conditions is the argument that dry farming methods are applicable not only to farming in the semiarid, but likewise humid regions in times of drought. In Missouri in the drought of 1014 the use of dry farming methods by only a part of the farmers largely increased the yield of corn per acre, as compared with similar conditions in 1901. TRAINING FLEET FOR LAKES Eastland, From Which Many Lives Were Lost, Will Be Flagship. Great Lakes, Ill.—A fleet of training ships shortly will be sailing the great lakes, it was announced at the United States naval training station here. Captain W. A. Moffett, commandant, has planned the mobilization of a number of vessels mounting guns ranging from one pounders to six inch pieces. The fleet will serve to train recruits passing through the training station here, which has been greatly expanded since the outbreak of war, in addition to protecting lake cities. The steamer Eastland, which turned over in the Chicago river in 1915 with a loss of 812 lives, and which is now being rebuilt as a gunboat, will be the flagship. Other vessels in the fleet will be two of the former Spanish gunboats which were captured by Dewey at Manila bay. SLACKERS NOT WANTED. But This One Enlisted After He Changed His Name. Newark, N. J.—A heavy set young man walked into the army recruiting office here and told the officers in charge he wanted to enlist. "What's your.name?" asked the lieutenant. "Slacker," was the reply. "Nothing doing," shot back the officer. "We don't want any slackers here." The man later explained that he was Andrew Slacker of Middletown, Sussex county, N. J., and that he wanted to break off diplomatic relations with his name. --- QUESTIONS ASKED IN WAR REGISTRATION The questions which are to be answered in the nation wide war department registration involve comparatively few subjects. Here they are: The name in full, the age in years, the home address, the date of birth, the quality of citizenship, natural born, naturalized or the condition of declaration of intention; the place of birth, trade, occupation or office, employment and by whom employed, dependents if any, married or single, race, former military service and where it was rendered and lastly claims of exemption from draft, with the specific grounds therefor.

Adopt Resolution Pledging Their Loyalty at San Francisco Meeting. San Francisco.—The Japanese of the Pacific coast have testified to their loyalty to the United States in a resolution adopted here at a mass meeting of Japanese, which pledged their support of the government in any capacity in which they may be needed. As a preliminary step they decided to cooperate in Red Cross work, and in case of further need they plan to enlist in actual service. 63rd & Eastern Ave., N.E.

Flag of World's Oldest Republic to Be Entwined With Its Allies. New York.—The managers of the hotels and public buildings that are now decorated with flags of the allies are very likely to be brought to task by some stanch patrol if the flag of his country, no matter how small or little talked of, does not prominently figure in the scheme. An excitable stranger accosted H. Douglass Brown, assistant manager of a hotel here, and demanded volubly to know why a flag of San Marino was not with the others in front of the hotel. For awhile the manager was overwhelmed, but finally made out that the man was one of the ten thousand odd inhabitants of San Marino and that he and his relatives, making up most of the population, wanted it understood that they and their army of 050 were now allies of this "very great countrie." In some distress of mind Mr. Brown went to the decorator's room, but no San Marino fang could be found, so a special order was given, and within a few days the smallest republic—twenty-two square miles—and one of the world's oldest, having existed, a thousand years, will have its place beside its greater allies. MUST PAY $25 MONTHLY. Embezzler Released on Parole to Make Good on Installment Plan. Little Rock, Ark.—On monthly payments of $25, R. G. Anderson is under parole from a six year term in the penitentiary to make good more than $0,000 obtained from the state through forgery and embezzlement. Within two hours after his plea of guilty and sentence in the circuit court Governor Brought had issued the parole on the condition stipulated. On the basis of settlement, Anderson will be paying the monthly installments for about twenty-one years. He is thirty-eight years old and has a wife and three children. Anderson was a clerk in the penitentiary. The forgery committed by him was on a warrant for $5,000, to which he attached the name of J. T. Burkett, a prison commissioner, and the embezzlements were three in number, aggregating more than $1,000. Governor Brough did not base his clemency altogether upon the repayment of the money wrongfully obtained. He explained that Anderson had given valuable information upon which important reforms in the prison system were easily possible. PLOW BY ELECTRIC LIGHT. Chicago Expects One Hundred Theus- and Back Lot Gardens. Chicago.—Plowing by electric light, as has been done in England, was begun here in furtherance, of the back lot garden movement. Because the garden commission's ten tractors now at work are insufficient night work was decided on. It is estimated that there will be 100,000 gardens in Chicago this summer. There are more applications from amateur farmers than there is land available. All unused lands of the Chicago, Millwaukee and St. Paul Railway company will be offered for the raising of foodstuffs. It was decided by the company's executive officers. Arrangements for cultivating the lands will be made by the company's agricultural bureau through the department of agriculture at Washington and the agricultural divisions of all the state universities along the line. KING ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS Leads Children to Pray For "Them That Trespass Against Us" London. — A dozen children, lean from semistarvation, came out of their cellar school near Furnes, Belgium, where heaps of battle rubish meet the site of thousands of homes, and, going to the shell smashed crucifix at the crossroads, knelt to say their prayers. A Belgian officer without any insignia of rank stood near, absorbed in identifying the detonation of the distant German guns. The children said their prayer as far as "Forgive us our trespasses as"—Then there was silence, for they could say no more. The Belgian officer concluded the petition: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us." The Belgian officer was Albert, the king. FAITHFUL TO SICK COW. Probably Owes His Own and Three Children's Lives to it. Baker; Ore—Fred Spencer probably owes his and his three children's lives to his faithfulness to a sick cow. He arose in the cold at 1 o'clock in the morning and went to the barn to give medicine to the sick cow. When on his way he saw flames, issuing from a defective flue, and a moment later the house burst into flames. He fought his way back and with great difficulty carried his three little ones from their beds in their night clothes. The house was new and had been occupied only four months. Minnesota Gets .Check For Biggest Levy on Inheritance. St. Paul.—A check for $1,489,370 as the inheritance tax on the $51,000,000 estate of the late J. J. Hill was presented by L. W. Hill to M. J. O'Malley, county treasurer. It is the largest single tax payment ever made by an individual in Ramsey county. Of the money the city and county get back 10 per cent from the state. CHARLES P..

And, as it bappens, | carry just $6,000 worth of insurance.” ‘And, leaving one of his clerks to watch the premises. Hardwick went back to bed. . “Now, then, Mr.-Hardwick,” said the adjuster two days later, “my estimate agrees with yours. Six thousand dol- Jars covers ‘all the damage done. That means that‘ we owe you $4,500.” “What's that?” demanded Hardwick, indignantly. “You owe me $4,600? ‘What bunco game-is this? Why don't Has owe me $6,000, the face of my pol- ey?” “Becauise of the 80 per cent co-insur- ance ¢lause,” explained the adjuster, and he indicated a paragraph in the Policy which ‘the grocer bad so care- fully guarded. “ | “This ‘clause provides that, we shall be Hable for no greater proportion of the loss than the sum insured bears: to 80. per cent “of: the cash vatue of the property insured. Your stock is, or ‘Was, worth $10,000. Had you carried | $8,000 insurance -we' would have paid you your loss in, full—that is, up to $8,000. But as it is, I repeat that we owe you but $4,500. If, however, the loss had been total we would have bad to pay you $6,000, the amount of your policy.. This misunderstanding has arisen, Mr. Hardwick, merely because you have never taken the time to thor oughly read. and adjust your policy. “Your carelessness in this regard has cost you $1,500, Mr. Hardwick. 1 am sincerely sorry for this, but fall to see that you have any ono but yourself to blame.”—H.

Mainly gossiping. Our modern malady is gregariousness. ‘We must be in company chattering. “To be always with others, always gregarious, always chattering, lke monkeys in treetops, is our ruling vice, and this is the reason why we havo no time to read and why you see so many people pass thefr Ielsure when alone in whistling or whittling. They have tims to whittle.” : ABC of Satety First. ‘There is a tradition that the man who compiled the “Stop! Look! Lis- ten!” admonition was well. paid for his philological efforts.
