RACE HELP What Ne he Negro Mu Race En Let Him Defe What the Negro Needs Negro Must Support His Race Enterprises Let Him Defend His Own Forty-two years as free- men, in a bible country, ermed by constitutional law, untry filled with schools, col- s and churches; in a country education, refinement, pro- s and prosperity, has placed at the Negro of to-day obliga- great which he must meet great duties which he must form. The Negro of today will not be led to plead only for a man's face—and if given that chance when he fails—whom can he be but himself? the civilized world does not w the American Negro from same point of view that it during the days of slavery slavedom—but the civilized and today takes a more exalted view of the Negro, and, whether fully or unjustly, the world exerts the Negro to measure up to standard placed. in the days of slavery the iden of the Negro was lost in the existence of the slave master — view him today—in the full stisutional light of a n.an up- and erect. olden times the Negro was used upon as an object of pity today he is called into ac- cant for his every deed and act no more can he nor dare he peet to find some one to be pres 6TH YEAR. the Negro needs st Support His terprises end His Own ent to plead mercy for him--but he must stand alone and of him- self. In times past and never to return the master was held liable for the acts of the Negro — his slave—but today the Negro must himself account for his deeds and is critically judged by his acts. He is the looking glass through which the world views him. It may seem hard and rash to say that in this view the Negro must not do things toward himself or toward each other that he would not have other nations do to him or his race, in other words we are face to face with the biblical injunction "Do unto your neighbor as you would have your neighbor do unto you" From these we cannot back out, crawl out, squeeze out, freeze out, smoke out or talk out, but meet it face to face like men. If the Negro would have others to keep the door of hope open to the rece—let him do so. If the Negro would see race prejudice abolished—let him not do anything to sustain it. If the Negro would have their women greater respscted by other—iet him show them greater respect If the Negro would have all discriminations on account of race or color banished—let him not discriminate himself. 15 the Negro would have all men given equal opportunities—let him not with hold opportunities from any. If the Negro would have his boy or his girl given the same chance in life with other boys and girls—let him deny none. Then again the Negro must look to the stripe and degree of sincerity of those who essay to de their leaders—whether self-made or duly crowned. No Negro is worthy of the proud title of "leader" in the ranks of so noble people whose daily interest in the welfare of the race is unquestioned by his manifestations in their behalf. It's an old but true saying, "You can tell the tree by the fruit it bears" and if the fruit is not good neither is the tree and it ought to be cut down. In this year of the educated Negro who has an interest in his race and shows it—there is no need for the race to listen to the selfish pleas of those who use the race only for selfish motives. Let the Negro do all in his power to help sustain Negro enterprises, professional and business men on every occasion. her boy; the father my children by the power he himself is.

INFLUENCE Paper Read By Mrs. Ida H Clark, of Wichita, Before The Inter State Literary Association. INFLUENCE Influence is the power of personality which every soul possesses. Influence is one of the talents of life. The extent of man's influence is unlimited. Every human being, old or young, literate or illiterate, carries with him a moral atmosphere which is breath ed by those he meets, and serves to mold their character. Even death does not destroy it, for it sends its healthful glow across the dark river, through the eternal years of our imortality. Like forces of nature it is often hidden, but it holds and shapes the world. The effects of a good influence fills all the atmosphere; its doctrines distill like the gentle dew. Influence is ever active Men are like magnets. The magnet draws the steel to its self. Then transformed it into a magnet like its self. The drawings and transforming power came out of its inner self. The influence we exert is sure to be like the inner life out of which it comes. The mother lives again in her boy; the father molds his children by the power of what he himself is. Whatever a man does or thinks, or feels even in solitude, has an effect upon the world. In the first place it effects himself and his own character, and that character must influence in some degree, all of whom he comes in contact. Even action has a voice, and that voice is heard Deeds are the index of the soul they proclaim what is within. The eye sees it, the memory recalls it. Its influence enters the soul and becomes a part of the very being. If good it blesses, if evil it destroys. Words may be forgotten, but action never How often has a look or gesture left impressions, which the flight of years could not efface. Little do we realize the great power of our actions and our deeds. A cheerful countenance carries with it a gleam of sunshine into the darksst alley, while a sad face throws a shadow over those passing it even in a crowded street. Who does not feel that he is influenced largely by the noble life of that champion of our race, Booker T. Washington. The example of such men lives; the power of such a life spreads far beyond the knowledge of names, and is transmitted to generations. Their influence becomes woven into the civilization and literature of the nation, controls their fortune, shapes their destines, and cannot but make the whole world better. It has been well said: "You may build temples of marble and they will perish; you may erect statues of brass and they will crumble to dust: but he who works upon the human mind implanting noble thoughts generous impulses, is rearing structures that can never perish; he is writing upon tablets whoes material is indestructible, which age cannot efface. This has been fully demonstrated by literary feature which we have added to the Christian endeavor work in my own little city: the literary feature has exerted untold influence; it has set in motion an influence that seems to vibrate from heart to heart. Let us ever remember that we have power to transmit a wonderful influence Our emotion may be transmitted by voice or pen. Let us use the voice, the pen, the heart. Let us 'so live that when the summons comes to join that innumerable caravan" we may "wrap the drapery of our couch around us' and lie down to pleasant dreams" White Cappers Knocked Ont. Special to the Post Dispatch. JACKSON Miss — Thos. Brady Jr., an attorney of Brook haven who was employed by Gov Vardaman to prosecute the whitecappers and David and Louis Cohen of the Lincoln County Law and Order League, haue been in the city to call on the governor and discuss with him the effects of the recent white cap convictions in Lincoln County. The gentlemen are of the opinion that whitedapping in Lincoln County have been given a knockout blow. It is probale that Mr. Brady will be employe by the governor the Franklin Coun- whitecappers. WON GOLD MEDAL. B. F. Haywood, a negro who lives in Red River, Ark., enjoys the enviable distinction of having produced the cotton which won the gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase exposition. He began experimenting with ordinary cotton five years ago. By carefully culling the best bolls from the finest stocks he could grow he has demonstrated to the world what phenomenal results can be achieved on the principle of the survival of the fittest in the vegetable kingdom. The staple thus evolved, in addition to possessing superior quality, approximates two inches in length and when others sold cotton at 12 cents he sold at 18 cents.-El Paso (Texas) Archlight. GOSSIPERS. The oldest inhabitants of Lynn, Mass., now 103 years old, attributes her long life in large to resolute abstention from gossip about her neighbors.

DORMITORY FOR TUSKEGEE Miss Elizabeth Julia Emery, of Cincinnati, Makes a Third Gift to Booker T. Washington. Cincinnati, Ohio.—Stopping between trains in Cincinnati Mr. Booker T. Washington received a gift of a new dormitory for his institute at Tuskegee, Ala.. The donor is Miss Elizabeth Julia Emery, now living in Europe, quite advanced in years. She has already given two dormitories and as a third was required her brother, Mr. Thomas Emery, who acts for her made the arrangement for the immediate erection of the new building. --- "Is Herbert Spencer outgrown?" asks a magazine writer. Well, not by most of us. The man who went crazy over wireless telegraphy should have tackled something tangible. Like the poor, the man who insists on eating thirty quail in thirty days we have always with us. "God save the young men from stylish women!" exclaims a New Jersey preacher. No power less mighty can. A Providence church has been turned into a bowling alley, and the increase in attendance was marked at once. Baltimore serves notice that those who wish to see its burned district, or any considerable part of it, will have to hurry. Out in San Francisco the lawyers are trying to reduce the expenses of litigation. Want to give it a sort of bargain counter air. Six thousand tons of American chopped apples have been shipped to France in the last few months. Apple jacques, we suspect. A college professor tells us that the word for mean is spelled m-a-n in Sanskrit. Evidently the word hasn't changed so much after all. Now is the time for the inventor to bring to public notice his recipe for making artificial eggs that can't be distinguished from the genuine. Gleam of a bald head served as a signal to stop a train near Norristown, Pa., and saved a man's life. Score one for the hairless brotherhood! It is persistently rumored that there may be a change in the style of evening clothes. Nightshirts and pajamas are still correct for the latter part of the evening. A cat that formerly belonged to Gen. Kuroki will be sold at a fair at the Waldorf-Astoria. The fact that the feline has no tail will not detract from its value. A Chicago woman is seeking a divorce from a man who deserved her forty years ago. She either has a very sweet disposition or believes in taking her time. Word comes from Constantinople that Turkey has arranged to borrow $15,000,000 from a foreign financial group. The sultan must have a Mrs. Chadwick on his staff. Mgr. Fox says that by her extravagance in dress woman "destroys" man. Surely not when the money she pays for dress is her own money. When it is his, why does he let her? If Daniel had called in handwriting experts to help him read what was written on the wall, Belshazzar, the king, would still be wondering how his case was going to turn out. A writer in a New York paper says: "Hall Caine is the homeliest man I ever saw." We suspect this is another covert attack upon William Shakespeare by one of the Baconians. A rich man of Bay Ridge, Mass., is spending $3,000 to build a wall to keep an ancient breech tree on his grounds from falling. "Woodman, spare that tree!" must be his favorite poem. Members of the Rothschild expedition who have spent four years in the arctic region making a collection of fiscs are said to be preparing to participate in racing contests as scratch men. The mayor of Atlanta returned the call of the German consul wearing a frock coat and a Fedora hat. That was right. It would have been awful had he gone in a pea-jacket and a beaver. Mariners assert that the gulf stream is flowing with an unusually swift current this year. Unless it is doing mischief, however, the case does not appear to be one that calls for an injunction. Mme. Patti has been having trouble with her cook, and the London papers are printing columns about it. Over here such affairs are so common that they are not even talked about in society any more. W. N.

" To Live and Let Live. " is OUR Motto. Should Be Stopped Should Be Stopped Colored Ladies Complain of Insults from White Men. In the past few months several respectable colored ladies have been insulted by white men on the streets of Wichita; and it is getting to that point in this city where a colored lady is in danger of insult to go about in broad open daylight by herself. Several incidents have come to light where several young white fellows on seeing a colored lady coming down the sidewalk alone would congregate themselves in such a way as to completely blockade the entire side-walk and stand there in an effort to force the colored lady to go around them and off the walk and in most of such cases, these youngsters have made indescent and vulgar remarks in the colored lady's hearing and in two or three eases the remarks were addressed to the colored lady. During the recent snow and immediately after it began to melt colored ladies were thus insulted and mistreated. In every case these ungentlemanly white men have always selected for their victim some colored lady who was alone and a rank stranger to them, and it has made little difference whether it was morning, noon or night Such acts have certainly gone far enough and some action ought and some steps should be taken to guarantee to our ladies the same protection and respect at the hands of the white men and boys of Wichita that is accorded the white ladies by the colored men and boys of this city. Should these have been white been white ladies who were thus mistreated by colored men some colored man would suffer matter not whether innocet or guilty just so he was a colored man. We ask protection for our ladies no more, no less. We make mention of this state of affairs because--should it be continued some white or boy is liable to be identified and then trouble will surely follow. There is plenty of room on the side walks of this city for any man or boy, white or black to pass without crowding ladies off the walk; and any man who would take advantage of a lady being alone to throw out dirty indecent remarks is without any principal and ought to be apprehended and severely puuished.

Translate a Specialty ORGANIZE TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS Committee of International Congress Plans Thorough Educational Campaign. Early in October there was held in St. Louis, at the Hall or Congresses, in connection with the World's Fair, the American International Congress of Tuberculosis, which consisted of representatives gathered from all parts of the American continent, to discuss the best means of preventing and curing this dreadful disease. Special attention was given to the subject of prevention. The congress was in session three days. Many important questions were discussed and committees were appointed for the purpose of carrying forward an active campaign against this most terrible of all the fees of human life. The committee of publicity was charged with the duty of organizing a proper educational campaign in connection with Chautauquas, conventions, associations and fraternities of various sorts, for the purpose of placing in the hands of the public information relating to the best means of preventing and combatting this scourge. Those who are especially interested in this phase of the question should address for further information the American Congress on Tuberculosis, Committee on Publicity, 28 Thirty-Third Place, Chicago, Ill. Movement to Suppress Tuberculosis. Science has demonstrated beyond question that pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption of the lungs is both a preventable and a curable disease. This disease is produced by germs which find their way into the body through abrasions of the skin, through the mucous membrane of the mouth or the intestines and through the lungs. The germs of the disease are found in the sputum of persons suffering from tuberculosis. The germs are also found in the flesh and milk of animals suffering from the disease. The germs are found nearly everywhere. These germs cannot live in the tissues of a thoroughly healthy person, as the cells of the body are capable of destroying the germs, but when the body is weakened by indigestion, by the habits of breathing foul or bad air, by anything which impairs the health, the tissues lose their power to destroy germs so that when they enter the body they find lodgement, grow and develop and tuberculosis of the lungs, bowels or of some other part is the result. Statistics show that at least 150,000 persons die of this disease in this country annually. Four or five times that number of persons are sick all the time with this disease. Tuberculosis kills more than any other malady. Experience has shown that the disease is not incurable, as has been generally supposed, but is a very curable malady if taken in time, and if the right treatment is applied. Not less than one hundred thousand lives could be saved every year by the application of proper means for preventing and curing this terrible disease. Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather Danger in Alcohol in Cold Weather. When the skin is warm it is red or pink in color. The cold air of winter causes the skin to become whiter in color. This is due to the contraction of the blood vessels of the skin. The amount of blood passing through the skin is decreased, and the amount of heat thrown off into the cold air is likewise decreased. If a glass of wine or brandy is taken the skin becomes red. The sensation of warmth produced is delusive. The victim imagines himself warmer. Indeed, the skin is warmer, but at the same time a great increase is observed in the heat thrown off from the skin. The result is an enormous loss of heat to the inside of the body. Dr. Parkes, the eminent English sanitarian, says: "All observers condemn the use of spirits, and even of wine or beer, as a preventive against cold." The names of Dr. King, Dr. Kane, Capt. Kennedy and Dr. Hayes may also be cited as holding to this opinion. In the last expedition in search of Sir John Franklin the whole crew were teetotalers. Prof. Miller states that the Russian military authorities "interdict its use absolutely in the army when troops are about to move under extreme cold, part of the duty of the corporals being to smell carefully the breath of each man on the morning parade, and to turn back from the march those who have indulged in spirits, it having been found that such men are peculiarly subject to be frostbitten and otherwise injured." Dr. Carpenter is authority for the statement that the Hudson Bay company has, for many years, entirely excluded spirits from the fur countries of the north, over which they have exclusive control, "to the great improvement," as Sir John Richardson observed, "of the health and morals of their Canadian servants and of the indian tribes." Health By Training. Health-getting, for the chronic invalid, is simply a matter of training, of health culture under favorable conditions, which include the discarding of all disease-producing habits, such as the use of tobacco, tea, coffee and all irritating, indigestible and disease-producing foods. The free use of flesh foods is no doubt a cause of liver and kidney disease, as well as of stomach disorders. The uric acid of flesh food is also a cause of rheumatism and gout, as well as nervousness and calculies. For substantial and permanent re- --- covery, the best method is training. Weak muscles must be trained to act with energy. Weak nerves must be toned up and steadied. The weak stomach must be trained to normal activity and the whole body must be brought in harmony with the forces which make for health. Buttermilk for Consumptives. Butternilk is an excellent food for tubercular patients. It may be taken in the quantity of one to three quarts a day, according to the amount of other food taken. The patient may take two meals, three meals, or four meals a day, according to the quantity of food taken at each meal, and the kind of food. A safe rule is never to allow a consumptive to go hungry. He should eat whenever he has appetite, so that the full digestive power of the stomach may be utilized in furnishing the body with constructive material. Wanted-An Appetite. Don't be without one. Why go to the dining room under protest. Don't try to buy appetite at a dollar a bottle. Farn it. One should enjoy eating and he will, if he has a natural appetite, such as comes to one who works for it. The outdoor life creates appetite, and a cold morning bath awakens the brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach and the appetite. An ice bag over the stomach for half an hour before meals is a good natural appetizer for a bed-ridden invalid. Another method is a hot application over the abdomen for five minutes, followed by an ice rub over the same parts for one or two minutes. This not only produces an appetite but stimulates the flow of the digestive juices and thus furnishes the ability to digest. Diet for Tuberculosis. The tubercular patient needs proteids, or tissue-building foods, but only just the amount which can be assimilated and utilized by the body. Any excess must be treated like poisons, and hence must be a burden to both liver and kidneys, and a waste of vital energy. Proteids must be taken, not only in moderate quantity, but in the purest form possible. The vegetable kingdom presents proteids in combination with fats in great abundance, and in nuts, which can be made easily digestible by thorough chewing or by proper preparation. The yolks of eggs afford also a combination of fats and proteids which is admirably suited to the tubercular patient. Milk, especially rich milk, is another food adapted to this class of patients when it does not produce "biliousness" through indigestion. Many tubercular patients have dilatation of the stomach. Such cases must avoid milk. Nearly all can take nuts if the right kind is selected and great care is taken with the mastication. Pecans, hickory nuts, almonds and filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are the best varieties. Half a pound of nuts may be taken daily by the consumptive, not only without harm, but with great benefit, if combined with other foods. A diet consisting of nuts, well-toasted bread and fruits is a perfect dietary for the tubercular patient. The yolks of a dozen eggs may be used in place of nuts. WHOLESOME RECIPES. Lentil and Nut Loaf—To one pint of rather dry lentil pulp add one cup of grated Brazil nuts and sufficient stale breadcrumbs to make a stiff mixture. Season with salt and sage if desired. Press into a bread tin and bake in a slow oven one hour or longer. Fruit Soup—Into one cup of warm water put one rounding tablespoonful of sago and cook in a double boiler one half hour. Then add two or three whole cooked prunes, one-fourth cup stewed raisins, two tablespoonfuls stewed cranberries, one teaspoonful lemon juice and sugar to suit the taste. Allow it to heat until the fruit is hot, and serve. Vermicelli or pearl barley may be substituted for sago, and dried cherries, with strawberry and lemon juice, used in place of the fruits mentioned. Snowballs with Prunes—Steam rice one hour or until tender, then form into balls, with one large or two small prunes in the center. Serve with a hot sauce made by warming for a few minutes one-half cup of meltose, to which the juice of one lemon has been added and a little prune juice to make it of a consistency to pour easily. Banana and Nut Salad—Peel three bananas and slice thin; add one-half cupful broken (not chopped) walnut meats. Pour over this two-thirds cup of the dressing and mix well. Serve on platters garnished with lettuce leaves. Peas Croquettes—Boll until thoroughly done two cupfuls of Scotch peas. Rub through a colander and add two well-beaten eggs, a little minced parsley, a small grated onion, salt to taste and dry bread crumbs enough to make quite stiff. Form into croquettes, roll in beaten eggs and breadcrumbs and bake in oven about ten minutes. A cup of choppeed walnuts will improve the croquettes. Savory Lentils—Cook two cupfuls of lentils until well done. Rub through a colander and add salt and sage to taste. To serve, heap in the center of the dish and pour tomato sauce around it.

Ciulsinn a Boas tn ated. ‘A costume that might well be called a poem in red was seen in the tea- room of one of New York's most fash- jouable hotels where the sartorial elect love to gather for a cup of tea and.a bit of gossip. The gown had a -ather long but round-shaped skirt, and was in dark red chiffon velvet shirred on several fine cords around the hips, falling full and untrimmed to the floor. ‘Tho shirrings on the skirt were car- ried up a la princess to girdle depths around the waist. No fastening was visible, but this was doubtless hidden among the full gathers at the back, ag most of the modish costumes are fast: ened in this manner. The little short backed waist was of a cloth in a light- ‘er shade than the velvet and sleeve: less, or more properly speaking, hay- ing a sleeveless effect, the sleeves be- ing caught in puffs with bands and tucks of the cloth, and the little coat was strapped with velvet. The vest and stock collar were of gauze and touches of silk were introduced in the enffs and revers. With this costume was worn a black velvet cavalier hat, with natura! ostrich feathers, and over a chair hung the wearer's wrap of ree velvet lined with Russian squirrel. , Smart Midwinter Styles.

So many people think they arc doing their duty if they give their plants a little water every day. This is altogether wrong. When you find your plants dry they need water. This can be easily learned by tapping the pot with the knuckles and getting a ringing sound from dryness and a dead sound when it is wet enough, or by rubbing the soil on the top of the pot with the iinger; if it feels moist and sticks to the finger, it is wet enough, but if it feels dry and siightly dirty, it wants water. Water it well, and be sure the water has gone through the pot. By half watering, that is not giving it enough water te go to the bottom, the roots are drawn to the top for a drink instead of going down, where they will get both food and drink. Never let plants stand in water either in saucers or jardinieres, as it will in mosc instances induce decay of the roots, which will -be fatal td the plants ——Montreal Her- ald. Boy's “Middy” Suit.

Thin fabrics of all kinds are embroidered closely with sequins. An attractive pink satin frock veiled with net heavily embroidered with sequins has a skirt with tiny stitched tucks abont the hips, from which point it falls loose and full. At the hem is a deep and full gathered flounce of the net, The flounce is covered with pink sequins in a flowered design. The low- cut bodice is composed of the neck, aad it is caught in at the waist line by a pink satin girdle. New Wrinkle in Belts. New leather belts show the influ ence of tucks and shirrinigs, for th> soft leathers and suedes are puckered in tiny folds in just the appearance of shirring. F Good Traits of Turks : It is very difficult for a western mind to enter into the real beauty of Turk: ish life. Men trained in Europen ieas and civilization have always found difficulty in understanding the morals and precepts of the Moslem faith. ‘The life which the Turi leads is so foreign to Christian ideas that Cliristendom cannot sygpathize with it, though the morals ‘of Islam are drawn chiefy from the same sources as those from Christianity, Foreign iravelers often make er roneous and exaggerated statements about-the Turks. ‘The moral charac- ter of the Turks is often higher than that of the people who resite among them. The Turk never fights in the streeis, never is seen drunk, and sel- dom is arrested; he is too honest to be a thief. Poverty does not discour- age him; he regards it a special af- fliction from God and submits. According to the teachings of Mo- hammed, for him who intended to 0 good and tried to put his intention in practice, God records from ten to sev- en hundred deeds, according to their merits, It was asked Mohammed: “Verily, are there rewards for our do- ing good to animals and giving them water to drink?” He said: “An adul- teress passed by a well and saw a doz with Tolling tongue, nearly dead of thirst. She drew off her boot’and tied it to the end of her veil, and drew wa- ter with it for the dog, and gave him to drink, and she was forgiven her sin on account of this act. There are rewards for benefiting every animal.” The Turks never beat the animals, and ff any Christian is seen il-treating one, he will at once b> arrested and heavily fined. In Turkey every stranger is an in- vited guest. While you are a guest in ‘a house, you are lord of the house. As among the ancient Greeks and Ro- mans, hospitality is a religious obliga- tion, and its violation a crime and im- piety. An enemy becomes a friend by choosing to be a guest. A man can travel, if he is willing to cepend on the people, from Eastern Turkey to Central India and from Norzhern Per- ‘sia to Southern Arabia, without pay- ing a cent for the necessities of life. ‘Turks receive the guest and entertain him as an angel in the form 0: a hu man being (Gen. 18: 4-2). ‘The host himself pours water on your hands and feet to wash. He is your servant as long as you are under his roof, and though you be a Christian or a erim- jinal, he will harbor you against your ienemies, and he ready even to meet jdeath for your safety His second act, after washing your hands and feet, ‘will be to spread-costly rugs on the lease "Suge.

(Gen. 18: 6) While“you are resting from the fatigne of the road, on the silken rugs, he will ron to the herd to slay a lamb in your honor. (Gen. 18:7.) At the end of your stay he will not accept a cent for his hospitality. “There is no beast on earth,” says the Koran, “nor bird which flieth with its wings, but the same is a people unto you; unto the Lord shall they re- turn.” It is the current belief among the Turks that animals will share with men the general resurrection, and will be judged according io their work. We find in the Bible a cettain meas- ure of legislative protection for ani- mals: “Thou shalt not secthe a kid in his mother’s milk.” I have come also across the pages, in pagan antiqui- ty, both Roman and Greek, where ef- forts have been made to establish a law for the protection of animals. Many Greek philosophers ascribed to animals a rational soul like that of man. The fact is, as it seems to me, that when men advance from a wild and savage to a peaceful and refined condition, they become more gentle and kind. , The affection of the Turks for animals is worthy of praise. There is no Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Turkey, but every Turk 19 a special officer for the protection of animals. The Turk doesn't believe in busi- ness craft, subtlety and deceit. His mere word is as reliable as an oath. If.you go to his store to purchase an article, he does not enter into an ex- tended praise of his goods; he simply | says “good,” and it is better for you Honesty in Business. to rely upon his word than upon your own oyes. No gain of more than 20 per cent is lawful to him, according to his re- ligious: belief, If by some misfortune in his commercial career he becomes unable to meet the demand of his cred. itors, he puts his Iast penny at their disposal. If, ‘after ycurs, fortune should smile upon him once more he will not rest until he pays the last penny of thelr claims. for any other conduct, according to his moral sense, is fraudulent and base. Kindtiness and consideration ‘of others is char- acteristic of the Turks. If they find 2 deblor unable to meet their de- mands, they will not cause his arrest, ‘and starve his family to death, but will ecg bases oe a Fe ag Se eee, ae = “ay 4S ee ee give him time without any interest on his debt, and financial aid to put him again on his feet, if they have conti- dence in his character. But if, in the time of his prosperity, ke refuses to do justice, he may expect the harst measures which a h.ghwayman de- serves from a brave traveler. The same Turk in one situation is human and considerate, in anoth>v cruel and fierce. ‘This is due to hiS stern, keen and enlightened moral sense and sal& esteem, The Armenian. ‘The Turks, as a nation, co not pox sess u distinct commercial instinet in business; they are often casy prey for their Christian neighbors. While the other races-around theny for instaliee; the Armenians, Grecks and Jews, are active, shrewd and money-making merchants, the Turks give little atten: tion to commerce. The commerce of Turkey is entirely in the hands of Ar menians. With their quic and acute intelligence the men of this race are far above those of any other in Tur- key. Yet, though living together for many centuries under the same polit- ical institutions, there exists in the characters of Turks and Armenians the most striking contrasts. The Turk is sincere, the Armenian wise; the Turk is sleepy, the Armenian ever watchful for prey; where the Turk fails from lack of confidence in him- self the Armenian masters the situa- tion by ever calculating on his energy. ‘Tho Turk is a fatalist; he leaves every- thing to the will of God; but the Ar- menian depends on his own wisdom. The Turk attributes his misfortunes to the will of God, and. assumes humility before God, but the Armenian thinks of them as the result of his own folly, and meets the future with more ener- gy and stratagem. The Turk prays to Allab, calls upon Mohammed for as- sistance, and waits: the Armenian goes to church to worship, but fights for himself for snecess. The Turk feeds his dog, his horse and stranger; the Armenian thinks ot his purse.

The president is in entire accord with the disposition of congress to reduce appropriations wherever possible, but he feels that the naval estimates ought not to be pruned so seriously as to interfere with carrying into effect the government's naval programme. Mr. Foss told the president that the committee had reduced the estimates by several millions of dollars, and that, as the measure now stood, it provided for a naval expenditure of about $103,000,000. Still further reductions might be made. Notwithstanding the reduction made by the committee, the bill would provide for the construction of additional war vessels and provision would be made for the completion of those already in course of construction. It is not indicated yet when the measure will be reported to the house. At a meeting before the committee on ways and means today Secretary Palmer, of the American Beet Sugar Association, opposed the pending bill reducing the duty on sugar and tobacco from the Philippine islands. In reply to a question by Mr. Curtis, whose bill was under consideration, Mr. Palmer said that the total sugar product of the Philippines was 145,000 tons annually, and if the United States took it all there would still have to be imported 1,500,000 tons to supply the demand. The ways and means committee is giving hearings on the Philippine tariff bill, the administration measure introduced by Representative Curtis, of Kansas. Delegate McGuire's bill giving the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Stillwater, O. T., a section of school land adacent to the town has passed the house and goes to the senate. Mr. McGuire is confident the senate will also pass the measure. The house committee on foreign affairs today agreed on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. It carries $2,107,047, which is $78,716 more than the bill of last year, and $166,180 less than the aggregate of the estimates made by the state department. ISSUE MANY PROC SEEK TO St. Petersburg, Jan. 26.—The correspondent of the Associated Press noticed several men distributing proclamations. The people formerly were shy of accepting such documents; now they are eagerly accepting them and have nicknamed them "lastochke" (swallows), an allusion to the spring which has become a synonym of evolution. The correspondent secured a number of copies. They were all signed by "The Russian Social Democratic Labor Party." One proclamation, dated January 22, reads: "Comrades:—So long as autocracy exists, no improvement in our condition is possible. Therefore, we continue to inscribe on our banners the following demands: "The immediate cessation of the war." "The summoning of a constitutional assembly of representatives of the people, elected by universal and equal suffrage, and direct, secret ballot. "The removal of class and race privileges and restrictions. "The inviolability of the person and domicile. "Freedom of conscience, speech, the press, meetings, strikes and political associations." A second proclamation, dated January 23, says: "The proletariat of all countries are united. Citizens, you yesterday witnessed the bestial cruelty of the autocratic government. You saw blood flowing in the streets. You saw hundreds slaughtered, defenders of the cause of labor. You saw the death and heard the groans of the wounded women and defenseless children.

Topeka, Jan. 25. — There were twenty-three bills thrown into the house hopper yesterday afternoon, bringing the total number of bills up to 410. Several general measures appeared in yesterday's batch. Among them: (1). To withdraw the school lands from the market and have them leased for the benefit of the school fund. (2). To create a board for the examination of brick layers, stone masons and plasterers. (3). To require railroad and telegraph companies to put their poles within four feet of the road limit. (4). To increase the power of the railroad bill. The house cleaned up its bills on third reading at the short session, and transacted considerable other business before adjourning till 9 a.m. today. Following is a complete list of the brown billa introduced yesterday: To vacate a part of Norton. To vacate a part of Lenore. To vacate a part of Hill City. To create a board for the examination of plasterers, brick masons and stone layers. To vacate a part of Neodesha. To require telegraph and telephone companies to put their poles within 4 feet of the road limits. To provide for the traveling expenses of the secretary of the State Horticultural Society when he goes on his annual junket to the national meeting. To enable Iola to refund its bonded debt. To appropriate $500 to fix up the rooms of the horticultural society. To repair school house in Clark county. To provide for the immediate payment of coal confiscated by railroad companies. To vacate a part of Lexington. To remedy a defect in the law which now prohibits persons with professional certificates from acting as county examiners. To appropriate money for Mitchell hospital, Leavenworth. To pay Leavenworth people for coal taken from under their farms by the state prison mine. To repeal the Douglas county court law. To extend the statutes of limitation a year in civil cases where it is impossible to get service on a defendant in regular time. To enable city High School graduates as well as county High School graduates, to obtain second grade teachers' certificates. To authorize county commissioners to put back into second class cities additions which have been improperly vacated. To provide for the maintenance of soldiers' monuments at Winfield and Arkansas City. blood and brains of workingmen were spattered around where their heads had been laid. "Who directed the soldiers to aim their rifles and fire bullets at the breasts of the laborers? "It was the emperor, the grand dukes, the ministers, the generals, the nobles of the court. They are the murderers. Slay them. "To arms, comrades! Seize the arsenals and the arms at the depots and at the gunsmiths. Lay low the prison walls. Liberate the defenders of freedom. Demolish the police and gendarmerie stations and all the government and state buildings. "We must throw down the emperor and the government and must have our own government. "Long live the revolution! Long live the constituent assembly of the representatives of the people!" A third proclamation appeals to the people not to attempt to injure private property. Father Gopon sent a letter to the Social Democrats in the following terms: "They have fired upon—massacred us, but we are not vanquished, and the day of our triumph is nigh. Do not spoil our triumph by taking up arms and resorting to violence. Content yourselves with destroying the portraits of him who is no longer worthy to be our emperor." This pacific admonition irritated the Social Democrats and does not meet with a response from the working men, who apparently are thirsting for vengeance, and are clamoring for their leaders to distribute arms. New York, Jan. 23.—The Stock exchange seat of Daniel J. Sully, the cotton operator who failed almost a year ago, has been sold to Stuyvesant Fish Morgan, Jr., the reported price being $76,000.

It is persistently rumored that there may be a change in the style of evening clothes. Nightshirts and pajamas are still correct for the latter part of the evening. A cat that formerly belonged to Gen. Kuroki will be sold at a fair at the Waldorf-Astoria. The fact that the feline has no tail will not detract from its value. A Chicago woman is seeking a divorce from a man who deserted her forty years ago. She either has a very sweet disposition or believes in taking her time. Word comes from Constantinople that Turkey has arranged to borrow $15,000,000 from a foreign financial group. The sultan must have a Mrs. Chadwick on his staff. Mgr.

If Daniel had called in handwriting experts to help him read what was written on the wall, Belshazzar, the king, would still be wondering how his case was going to turn out. A writer in a New York paper says: "Hall Caine is the homellest man I ever saw." We suspect this is another covert attack upon William Shakespeare by one of the Baconians. A rich man of Bay Ridge, Mass., is spending $3,000 to build a wall to keep an ancient beech tree on his grounds from falling. "Woodman, spare that tree!" must be his favorite poem.

Mariners assert that the gulf stream is flowing with an unusually swift current this year. Unless it is doing mischief, however, the case does not appear to be one that calls for an injunction. Mme. Pattl has been having trouble with her cook, and the London papers are printing columns about it. Over here such affairs are so common that they are not even talked about in society any more. Cuba still insists that she hasn't any yellow fever, but she is going to spend $190,000 for the sanitation of the streets in several of her largest cities, which is one of the best ways of keeping out disease. A botanical wizard out in California, after ten years' patient work, has just produced a spineless cactus which is half as nutritious as alfalfa and will yield more forage to the acre. The question now is whether the burro will find it sufficiently ticklish to his palate. In modern war, of course, there is nothing inconsistent in two generals exchanging polite compliments and begging each other to make arrangements so that they may do each other up more conveniently. WEDDING HAD TO STOP. Ceremony Halted While Sally "Jagged" the Chickens. Bishop Candler of Georgia, recently told me of the national lawmakers from that state, an experience he had when he first began to preach the gospel and the nuptial knots, says the Washington Times. "One day I was called on and engaged to marry a couple in one of the out-of-the-way districts. I found the house a rudely constructed log affair, with but one room and a loft above, which was entered by a ladder and a trap door. A big table was in the center of the room, and it was loaded with good things to eat, everything having been cooked on an open fireplace which took up nearly all one side of the room. The bride and groom lined up and I was proceeding with the ceremony, and while in the most impressive part of it, the old lady poked her head out of the trap door in the loft and called: "Sally, turn them chickens and jag 'em with a fork." I could not help laughing at the ludicrousness of the whole affair, and I have never witnessed a marriage ceremony since without remembering this experience." HIS EXPERIENCE TEACHES THEM A remedy that will cure Bright's Disease will cure any other form of Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills never fail to cure Bright's Disease.

Sinking Spells, Headaches, Rheumatism, All Caused by Poor Blood-Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When Williams was asked for some details of the fearful illness from which she had so long suffered, she spoke as follows: "Ever since I had nervous prostration, about thirteen years ago, I have had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. At the beginning my strength would come back in a moderate time, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch." "You were under medical treatment, of course?" "Yes, when I became so bad that I had to give up my housework, in May of 1003, I was being treated for kidney trouble, and later the doctor thought my difficulties came from change of life. I was not only weak, but I had dizzy feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery after eating, hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheumatic pains in the back and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really feared that my case was incurable." "What saved you from your state of hopelessness?" "In July of 1903 I had a very bad spell, and my husband came in one day with a little book which told of remarkable cures effected by a remedy for the blood and the nerves, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He bought a box for me, and that was the beginning of my return to health. My appoitite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted, and my strength began to revive." "How long did you take this remedy?" "For two months only. At the end of that time I had regained my health and cheerfulness, and my friends say that I am looking better than I have done for the past fifteen years." Mrs. Lizae Williams is now living at No. 416 Cedar street. Quincy, Illinois. The pills which she praises so highly, cure all diseases that come from impoverished blood. If your system is all run down, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the very best remedy to take. Any drugist can supply them. METHOD OF LEGAL TORTURE. England the Last of Civilized Countries to Abolish It. England, as all the world knows, was the last of civilized countries to abolish the test by torture as a regular legal institution. A historian who has made a special investigation of modern methods of torture has discovered that the barbaric practice is still common in many out-of-the-way corners of the globe. The early English system, too, has been widely imitated. Even in the time of Henry III the torture trial was in vogue. First came three days of preparation by fasting and prayer. On the solemn day a caldron was made to boil in church and a stone was placed, apparently, in the boiling water. Two juries of twelve men apiece were present in the interest of accuser and accused. Both sides tested the water, and if they agreed that it was boiling the accused thrust in his bare arm and took out the stone. His arm was then wrapped in cloth and sealed. On the third day the priest inspected the arm and if it was perfectly healed the accused got off. It seems as if the testing representatives may have been tampered with or the examining priest may have been corrupted. STUDY FORESTS OF HAWAII. Interesting Facts Learned by Dspart ment of Agriculture. The forests of the Hawaiian islands have been studied by the servants employed by the Department of Agriculture. There are two very distinct kinds of forests in the islands, one on the drier lowlands near the sea and the other on the mountain slopes, where there is a heavy rainfall. The coastal forest is composed exclusively of "alsaroba" or the "mesquite" of our Southwest, which was introduced by Father Bachelot in 1837. From the original tree, which is still standing, it is estimated that at least 50,000 acres of forest have sprung, fairly well distributed over the different islands. The native forest of the mountain slopes is distinctly of tropical character. None of the familiar trees of the north temperate zone are present. One looks in vain for oaks, the maple, pine or spruce. The more important trees are the "lehua," "koa," "mamane" and "kukui." Ballad of the Poet Brothers! who follow the seas of song, Mariners have on an ocean wide, Bearing away with hearts so strong Stand to your course with dauntless pride, Galantine breasting the foam and gale. And stalling not for the storms that chide. For who shall stand if the poets fail? What if the voyage be wild and long, Oer an ocean that roaring guils divide, Strewn with sheals where the dark rocks throng. And staring islands to hope denied, Trials that sunsethe hearts betide, Dangers that bravest souls assail? Bear up, though your sorrows be multi- plied, For who shall stand if the poets fail? Heed not the balks and blows that wrong. The crosses that hinder, the cuts that in fairest shows that to gulle belong; Though the heart be grieved and the soul be tried. Courges and valiantly all ourself; Sighs are for cowards who shake and quail; De ye as heores whose hearts abide. For who shall stand if the poets fail? Brothers! whose faith is a lamp and guide Mid times that question and tongues will rail Oh, yield not ye, though the world de- rive. For who shall stand if the poets fail? —Boston Pilot. Old Roman Work of Art. A discovery of considerable importance was made in August at Suse, the ancient Segusio, in the province of Turin, Italy. At a depth of six feet or more a colossal man's head was found. It is of bronze and is double the natural size. The head is of excellent workmanship and is well preserved. It is supposed that the head belonged to the statue of the minister of Augustus, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, who was the husband of Julia, daughter of Augustus. Agrippa was the grandfather of Caligula and greatfather of Nero. He died in the year 12 B. C. It Won't Happen Again. "I have received some funny excuses from the parents of my scholars in my time," said a school teacher yesterday, "but I was handed one Tuesday that beat them all. A little fellow named Johnny did not come to school Monday, and Tuesday he appeared without the customary excuse. I sent him home for it. An hour later he returned with the excuse. This is what it said: "Deer Madim: Please excuse Johnny for eating pie yesterday and getting the stumack ache. It shall not happen again."—Kansas City Times. ALL Satisfied. In one of the many nonsupport cases that come before the city magistrates, the accused husband pleaded temporary ill health. "If he'll take care of the children till he gets well I'll go out and earning the living," volunteered the woman. The husband agreed to this offer and the arrangement was made. The magistrate was satisfied, the wife was satisfied and the children weren't consulted. -Philadelphia Press. In and Out.

Experiments have shown that a horse pulls about one-sixth of its own weight, whereas an elephant can pull its entire weight. This might be emphasized by the fact that an elephant is six times as big as a horse.

N. U.] COURAGE A RARE QUALITY. Successful Men of Affairs Tell of Their Experiences. Several men of affairs were discussing, not long ago, what quality was rarest. One spoke for brains—but all the others disputed him, and he presently admitted that there were plenty of fellows with brains enough and to spare. Another spoke for energy—and all agreed that the capacity to keep hard at it in season and out of season was difficult to find. Then a third suggested judgment—the ability to know what to do and what not to do, when to do, when to refrain from doing. It was admitted after some argument, that this was rarer. "I have not met half a dozen men in my life," said one who was president of a railroad, "who combined judgment with enthusiasm. I'm inclined to think that enthusiasm, intelligent enthusiasm, is the rarest quality." Last of all a financier, whose name is known all over this country, spoke up. "I should say that character is the rarest quality," said he. "Not honesty, for everybody is honest according to his lights. But the disposition and the courage to do right regardless of consequences and without trying to induce conscience to say that wrong is right or almost right." After a silence the railway man said. "The world wouldn't move very fast if that quality were less rare than it is." "It doesn't move very fast," replied the financier, "and that's the whole reason."—Saturday Evening Post. Right Living and Good Looks Right Living and Good Looks. To-day our great cities show proportionately a higher average of dress and general striving after personal attractiveness among both men and women than the great cities of any other country. Success depends in the largest measure upon health and the personal impression one makes upon his fellow men; and properly to develop and to maintain the "points" that make for personal attractiveness is to develop and maintain health. For example, how many men and women stop drinking and overeating because fat is fatal to good looks? The struggle to keep looking young is a struggle to keep in perfect health—and what a blessing that is to the present and all future generations! The price of good looks is right living. And the regard of right living is health.—Saturday Evening Post. When the Window Sticks Mr. Appleby, who in the course of sixty years had only twice left his native town, looked up from his reading of the weekly paper with an expression of mild interest on his weather-beaten face. "There was a kind of set-to in the railroad train yesterday, mother," he said, "betwixt two women, about whether a window should be open or shut, and the question has risen as to whether the folks side of a window control it or the folks behind. I could read you out what it—" "You needn't," said his traveled spouse, with great briskness. "I haven't been down to Boston once a year for ten years without learning that neither the folks beside a window nor the ones behind can control it—nobody can but the brakeman. And sometimes he can't."—Youth's Companion. Coining His Lessons The New York boy is practical if he is anything. He wants to know "what for?" and "wat's de yuse?" before he becomes thoroughly interested. Once interested, however, there is no kind of school work he cannot make profitable. "I know of one boy," said a school teacher the other day, "who quickly realized the value of his lessons in making designs for book covers. The first lesson so fired his ardor that he could scarcely wait till he reached home to try his hand at making original designs for the books his father's firm was publishing.
