Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT THE NEGRO AND FARMING. my brilliant, learned and sensible as have been written by the Negro press and friends of the Negro concerning the Negro and the . Many speeches have dwelt on phase of the American Negro— till there is as much necessity of imagination of such articles and as ever before. becoming every day more evi- dent that sooner or later the Negro leave the city, if not of his own then of force of necessity. The observer of the colored man in American cities today cannot help but the utter impracticability of the ever becoming a wielding factor in life—the many drawbacks and ments incident to the life of a cold man in the city, and the many ances to his success makes it evident that at no distant date cold man must turn away from city if he lives. older-saving devices, social conditions and increased race prejudice in city toward the colored man are using plainly to the fact that if the colored man is to remain and become formidable factor in America, he must find his station behind the plow is the tiller of the soil. The increasing death-rate of the colored man lives in the city and the increase disease amony them, show most inclusively that city life is not the for the masses of the colored race, then with proper alarm that the two press all over the country is the tendency of the race to give the farm for city life, and it is that the same press should use means within their command to the minds of their people back to priceless gem—the farm. so race of people can ever hope to a power among men when, as a race, they are consumers to a greater ex- tent than they are producers. The Ne- go must not shun the farm, but rather a city. The close, compact condi- ns prevailing in a city are not con- vative to the best physical make-up of the black race, and the result is that he is easily an heir to disease and on a victim of death. Let the Negro and his way back to the farm, where tature and Nature's God has so amply separated a healthful habitation for m. W. N. M. worries of baking day turn to de light when you use HOWARD'S PEERLESS PRINCESS FLOUR No other as good MURDOCK NAMED. Avoid loud and prolonged cheers congressman Victor Murdock was recriminalized as the Republican nominee for Congress from the new 5th Congressional district. Garfield hall, where the convention was held, was used to overflowing with an immense crowd who were all of one mind—it seemed. The nominating speech was made by ex-Governor W. E Stanley, each of the other counties compiling the 5th district second the nomination. After the nomination congressman Murdock made an eloquent speech. The colored people of Wichita now find themselves confronted with a condition, and, absolutely not a theory. For years and years they have lived in the Peerless Princass city and their children have been accorded those school advantages accorded to the children of colored parents in no other city of the first class in Kansas, and so long has this condition prevailed in Wichita that all—white and colored—had looked upon this situation as only one of mutual right—which it was. But now, after many generations of school children have come and gone, we find the agitator at work and with his two-edged sword has so affected the minds of the peaceable and friendly white people of our growing city until today it seems almost inevitable that the colored people will be cal'd on to accept separate schools. To say that this action will work an unpardonable burden on the scattered colored population of Wichita will only be asserting a well agreed fact. Plans have been submitted, and resubmitted in an effort to find some proper solution of this vexed question, but we are frank to admit that at this time we are unable to further submit any proposition which might appear to us of sufficient force to stem the tide which seems is now about to overtake the colored people here. It was thought that at the primaries last week in the respective wards candidates might be selected who would not favor the recent action of the school board, but, we are informed, every man selected last week, with the possible exception of one, favors the separate schools. And now, when it is too late, the colored men find that they have again permitted themselves to wait too long. With the situation as it is on every hand we do not hesitate to admit that we are at a loss to know what steps to advise our people to take. But we hope at a later date—and soon—to make an expression of our view of the best thing to do. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH. The new Antioch Baptist church at 636 N. Water street is doing fine in every way. Though young, the church looks forward to a most prosperous time. This church was organized some months ago by Rev. F. Durden, a minister of high standing. Rev. Durden was called to Colorado, and while he is absent the church is pushing forward. Rev. Chas. G. Cole is in charge of the church and is assisted by Rev. Anderson Brown. These two jealous workers are holding high the banner of the church by the aid of their faithful members. The Ministers and Meacons' Union will meet in Newton on March 14-15. This will be a meeting of great interest to the Baptist cause in Kansas. NORTH TOPEKA NEWS. Number 3 club of St. Mark A. M. E. church met with Mrs. Ida M. Jordan. 903 Western avenue, Tuesday evening, March 6th. The club was royally entertained by Mrs. Jordan. Macedonia Tabernacle No. 93 is progressing nicely and is in a healthful condition. They are working in perfect peace and harmony under the leadership of Mrs. Ida M. Jordan. They meet the first and third Thursday afternoons of each month. All Tabs should subscribe for and read the Wichita Searchlight. A DIVIDED HOUSE. There is an old maxim which says, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," and this maxim is as true as steel and though oftentimes tried it has never yet been disproved. When applied to individuals, cities, states, races and nations—the results have always been the same. Try it where you may, and when the end comes you will agree that this maxim is correct. In every age of the world, in every condition of life, in every community, in every race and in every nation the truthfulness of this adage has been seen. Kings and Potentates have tried it and lost—States, Nations and Empires have tested it and failed—individuals and races have experienced it and failed. Says one, "It is just as impossible for a divided house to prosper as it is for a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps." Though everything may seem bright and the paths for a distance may be strewn with sweet-scented roses, still a divided house "must" meet the inevitable and crumble and fall. Some may shudder at sound doctrine, others may flinch from it, but there stands in bold relief the undisputed fact that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." In the life-battles of a race, in the commercial battles of a nation, in the turmoil of existence and must bear in mind this fact that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." OUR COLORED CHURCHES. Wichita may well feel proud of her colored churches. No city in Kansas has a grander array of Christian workers than is found in the colored churches of our Peerless Princess city. A. M. E. CHURCH.—At this church, the pastor, Rev. H. W. King, has been conducting a revival meeting and great good has been done. More than forty have been added to the church and the church is working in peace and harmony. The auxiliaries of the church are all alive and doing good work. TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH—Under the matchless leadership of that broad-minded scholar, Rev. W. H. Tillman, is forging its way to the front ranks and the work which this church is doing is no small effort. They are holding their own. NE WHOPE BAPTIST CHURCH—Though they have no regular pastor at this time the church is moving to the front and is now in a series of revivals for good. In their new church on Rock Island avenue they are marching to the front. ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH.—The youngest in the cause is holding high the banner and are sailing on lifes sea untrammeled and undismayed and their watchward is "Onward and Upward." It is readily seen that with such an array of Christian churches all working in peace, harmony and unity, noble work will surely result. In these churches named—the A. M. E., the New Hope Baptist, the Tabernacle and the Antioch Baptist there is no friction, no quarrelring, fussing and fighting either among themselves or among others—but they are pushing forward to the mark of a high calling, and are scattering good seed as they go that will spring up many days hence to bless their work. The people of our city owe it to themselves to lend these churches their unstinted and unlimited support to carry on the good work which they are so nobly sponsoring. Russell Sage Admits Ambition to Round Out Century of Life As a financier it has been part of the policy of Russell Sage of New York to purchase 'stocks and other things at a bargain, and then to work industriously to bring them up to par. That, for 89 years has been his life work. He has been successful at it, and has rolled up a great many millions of dollars. But now he is engaged upon a new ambition—to reach par himself. He wishes to live 100 years, and bids fair to meet with the same success in his venture as in his many others. There is no man on Wall street today, no man of his age in active business, who is so well preserved physically as this aged millionaire. He is as proud of this fact as he is of his MR. SAGE'S BIRTHPLACE AT CONGIDOAM, NEW YORK business successes. He boasts of it, flaunts it in the face of men younger in years but weaker of body. "Yes, young man," he said, on a recent birthday. "I was born in 1816. Lived quite a while, eh? Entitled to a holiday, eh. Well, honestly, I really considered for a moment taking a holiday off, but then I am a director in twenty-seven railroads and I can't very well neglect the public's interests. They all of them have directors' meetings to-day, and I feel that I ought to attend. Then, I get $20 for each meeting, and a lunch thrown in." Russell Sage expects to reach the par of life by the same methods he has pursued in bringing to this mark railroads, steamship lines or mining ventures—by hard work, by frugality, by system, by rigid obedience to the laws of health. "I take every day as it comes," he says. "My theory for a long life is that temperance lengthens the days of all. Plenty of sleep, and escape from gory as much as possible. Worry and lack of rest break down the strongest men. I get up every morning at 6 o'clock, and get to my office at 9. I leave at 5 p. m. I go up to my house and take things easy for the rest of the day." He accounts for all his successes by this regime. "Good habits in living," he says, "result in good health; good health increases a man's ability and gives him zest for industry; and industry, intelligent industry, leads on to prosperity. It is a very simple recipe, but the great majority of men continually ignore what is so plain. It is perfectly oblivious that dissolute habits can end in but one thing—failure. Reverses are bound to come at some period of the life of a man of evil ways. A crying sin of to-day is profligacy. The wasting of money entails a vast amount of suffering for some one and often leads to actual crime." The man is never idle. He considers idleness is not only expensive, but a detriment to good health. "Because a man is rich, there is no reason or excuse for his being idle," he says. "A slothful man, be he rich or poor, is not a desirable member of society. He presents a bad example. The rich man is not expected to toil with pick and shovel, but human society places upon him the obligations to give his best thoughts to the use of his wealth, so that his accumulation may bestow good upon others as well as himself." The veteran keeps pretty closely to his office, at No. 31 Nassau street, and regularly at noon trudges to the Western Union building, at 195 Broadway, for luncheon. Of recent years, since the Norcross adventure, in which the dynamiter lost his own life and severely injured Laidlaw in attempting to kill Mr. Sage, he is very careful as to whom he admits into his office. But his eye is as bright as ever and the passing years do not seem to alter his appearance. A man who met him recently thus THE HOME OF THE MAYOR describes him: "He is almost 90 years old, and does not look to be 60. He is tall, thin, but not wasted. His body is that of a man who is aging without excess. His shoulders are a bit stooped. His forehead is not the bulging dome of so many successful Americans. It slopes backward and gets narrower toward the top. His face is not a strong one. In years gone by it may have been stern, or it may not. It was covered with a beard, but is now smooth-shaven. It is a farmer's face, with healthy brown complexion. His eyes are sharp and bright, lying in a nest of little wrinkles. Sometimes he winks one eye to emphasize what he says. Winking is his only dissipation. When he dissipates, he gives his mind to it. He drops his eyelid with great deliberation, sending it down with all his strength. His wink says, plainly as words, I, Russell Sage, am winking. Am I not real devilish?" His nose is a good, strong nose, but it does not overshadow its fellow features. His cheek bones are as high as an Indian's. He has a queer way of working the muscles of his cheeks. He draws down his chin and the muscles of the lower part of his face, and at the same time lifts those of his cheek bones. No other living man can do it. Mr. Sage's way of laughing is to twitch his mouth, shut his eyes tight, slap his thin hand on his knee and double up his body. Resentless, but not relentless, he hardly has an enemy; never indulges in luxury; always calls you My son." He is everybody's papa, healing them by the laying on of paternal hands. My son," he says, Sho! Sho! I must get in my stray bets. My son, I've got a million and a quarter of them puts and calls out now. Sho, It'll never do, my son." By this time he has lovingly fastened on to your rib or armpit, or "crazy bone," and when he says Sho" you feel like a SAGE & BATES STORE, TROY, N.Y., WHERE RUSSELL SAGE BEGAN HIS BUSINESS CAREER chicken chucked up to be counted and fed on meal. He goes about collecting money with the same emotion, and as much of it, as an ant-eater shows when it licks up ants. Speculation based on imagination or anything but a sure conviction of profit is unknown to him. He has twice been in Congress, but he never cared to distinguish himself in politics. He is fond of a good horse. For the past few years he has driven every morning and evening, excepting Sunday, in Central Park. He is generally out before other people have finished their breakfasts. He is NO.51 an expert driver, and his chief ambition now is to learn to manage a four-in-hand drag. He eats very little, and always lunches at the Western Union building, where the small amount of his check has often excited comment. He never reads a novel. He is a religious man, a pillar of the West Presbyterian church. He loaned Talmage $125,000 to rebuild the Brooklyn Tabernacle—but at 6 per cent. The man doesn't take to himself much credit for what he has accomplished in the way of accumulating money. He claims that any one can do it. "What I have done," he says, "others can do. The path to succeed is thorny, it is true, but any young man who makes up his mind to do it can accumulate money. He must at the start make cast-iron rules; to practice self-denial, regularity and temperance, love for work, a rigid regard for the minutest details of business, and above all, choose the loss of every dollar rather than a single act of dishonesty. Failure is most frequently caused by falling by the wayside. Young men become victims of the desire for immediate pleasure rather than pursue a long and courageous struggle to permanent success. "My mother taught me the rudiments—reading, writing and spelling. That was the only schooling I ever had. I was a simple farmer boy and worked on my father's place until I was 16 years old. Then I got a job in a retail grocery store in Troy. I did not receive more than $5 a month. Before I was 21 I went into business for myself. By that time I had saved up enough to enable me to buy out the entire business. In 1863 I came to New York. "If I were broke now I should go to work with the same desire to climb up that I had the first day I ever put my shoulder to the wheel. Just what my first step would be I don't know. That would depend on circumstances. But I am sure that by hard work I could win." A friend of Mr. Sage was asked about the oft-published statement that no man can command so much money at instant call as he. "It is true," he said, "and I doubt if any of the other millionaires could produce $5,000,000 of his own money within thirty minutes of the demand. In my opinion none of them has as much ready cash within instant reach as Russell Sage." He is a man in whom financiers have the greatest confidence. He has integrity and fair dealing back of his record. In spite of the general impression to the contrary, Mr. Sage is philanthropic. He does not personally disburse charities; the actual giving is left to the discretion and judgment of Mrs. Sage. Although the possessor of a great many millions, he maintains no gorgeous establishment, his home being luxurious, but simple in all its appointments. This method of life is not with him a pose. He is plain to Puritanism; he is old-fashioned; he is intellectually a wonder, and though long past the allotted threecore years and ten, he shows no impairment of mental or physical abilities. But will he accomplish his new ambition, and reach par? That remains to be seen, and will be decided within about ten years. If simple living, out-of-door exercise and don't-worry rules will do it, there seems to be no reason why he should not be successful. At any rate, he is nearer it than any other man to-day in Wall street.—Boston Herald. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

We paid a pleasant visit to the A. M. E. Sunday School on last Sunday and found quite a nice school. The Superintendent Mr Jno. T. Chimeth is putting forth every effort to build up a creditable school and he should have the encouragement of the parents. We notified, however, several things which, to our minds, need confection. For an instance many scholars do not give the attention which a sacred gathering such as a Sunday School should receive. Then again, the absence of the Sunday school teachers, greatly hampers the efforts of a Superintendent in making his school what it ought to be. Sunday school teachers should be punctual to add success. Another item is the few parents who come out to Sunday school. Parents should lead the way and let their children follow it—and not stay at home while their children is sent to Sunday school. these few exceptions we found the school in good shape. We shall visit the Sunday school of the other churches in the near future and observe their working. In The Grocery Line Your wants need careful attention and our store is the place to get it.

Read Mrs. Dimmick's letters. Her first letter : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I have been a sufferer for the past eight years with a trouble which first originated from painful periods—the pains were exacerbated with inflammation and ulceration of the female organs. The doctor says I must have been on the medication or I must have resigned to an operation if I can possibly feel it. Please help me."—Mrs. Mary Lumbrick, Washington, D.C. Her second letter: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I am here my condition when I last met you, and that the doctor said I must have an operation or I could not live. I received your kind letter and followed your advice very carefully and am now entirely well. As my case was so serious it seems a miracle that I am cured. I know that I owe not only my health but my life to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to your walk miles without an eye or a pain, and I wish every suffering woman would读 this letter and realize what you can do for them."—Mrs. Mary Dimmick, 59th and East Capital Streets, Washington, D. C. How easy it was for Mrs. Dimmick to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and how little it cost her—a two-cent stamp. Yet how valuable was the reply As Mrs. Dimmick says—it saved her life.

Hagerman, a native of Milwaukee, was in inaugurated governor of New Mexico, was born in 1871 and is the youngest governor in the country. Being unmarried and wealthy, besides having a pleasing personality he is looked upon with much favor by society in the territory. He has already received a number of rather mushy letters from young women. England's Freak Electors. If a person's name gets on the English registry of voters, however improperly, he has an indefeasible right to vote. Thus it happened in the recent election that a woman voted for a member of parliament. In another case, at Rayleigh, in Essex, a schoolboy-James Griggs, 11 years old, residing at Thundersley—found himself legally entitled to claim a vote. At the Rayleigh polling station the lad presented himself on the day of the election, and, satisfying the officials in charge of his identity with the person named in the register, was given a paper and allowed to vote. Master Griggs has surely established a record.

No, Freddie, it is not "grafters" that have seized one of the Hebrides, but "crofters." The Chinese seem to be tuning up their hatred of the foreign devils to boxer pitch again. Venezuela has only 8,000 troops, but claims 23,000. Probably it counts Castro as the other 15,000. Now that Marconi has a baby, transatlantic communication by wireless will doubtless be postponed. The crack speaker at a deaf mute's dinner in New York was appropriately referred to as "our silver-tongued orator." An account of the dog show with no mention of Harry Lehr? What's the matter with the New York reporters? The latest applicant for some of the Carnegie hero dough is a man who saved himself, and claimed he was a hero "per se." New York's swell set is taking to ballooning. The automobile is now used by so many persons that it is no longer exclusive. Now that Esperanto, the new universal language, has been set to music, perhaps it will be arranged next for the deaf and dumb. Mr. Yerkes-Mizner says Alaska is full of opportunities. However, it is not believed that there are any $10,000,000 widows there. M. Taigny denies that he called Castro "the monkey of the Andes." He is much too polite to state his thoughts in that blunt, crude way. The attempt of a woman up-state to sleep in the open air, for her health, is a modified success, because the natives gather around to see her do it. Now that science has discovered—as it thinks—that insanity is caused by a bacillus, the slang expression, "He's bughouse!" takes on added force. A New York woman, said to be conscience stricken, has returned a lot of stolen silverware to its owner. The fact that it was "plated" is of no significance. It is said that as many as 4,061 muscles have been counted in the body of a moth. If the moth ever has the inflammatory rheumatism, how he must suffer! M. Fallieres did not distinguish himself at school, college or university—but all the young men of whom the same is true cannot become presidents of France. The discovery of an artificial lamb chop ought to make the congressmen at last realize the value of the Department of Agriculture for even their own practical uses. The theatrical syndicate has decided to drop Shakespeare. That is the bard's punishment for forgetting to put a double sextet and a leap for life into each of his plays. It is to be hoped that the New York city official who gave up a $4,500 a year job in order to avoid any restriction on his freedom of speech really has something to say. John Burns says that Shakespeare did not understand the working people of his time. But the working people of our time understand Shakespeare, which is a more important fact. President Eliot says football is more brutal than bullfighting. If the helpless dumb animals used for bullfighting purposes could express an opinion they might sharply disagree with Dr. Eliot. Borrowing, says young Mr. Rockefeller, kills friendship, and should be shunned. We hope no one has been so unwise as to forfeit the young gentleman's friendship by asking him for a loan. Two aeronauts who crossed the English channel in a balloon in one hour and three-quarters must have looked down with pitying sympathy at the sea-sick passengers on the old-fashioned steamer. A correspondent speaks of the universal smile in the streets of the Japanese capital. We judge that there have been no graft scandals and exposures there of late, or some smiles would have to come off. The annual report of Washington's chief of police in tabulating the police work of the year reports the arrest "of one senator" and "two representatives in congress." Naturally there is a good deal of curiosity to know the names. The Portland Express prints a story about Si Jones—a suspiciously generic name—and his hens, which would "sit" in spite of him. The hen, be it remarked, is so constituted that she can't "sit," unless laying the breast-bone down on the ground is "sitting." OF HEART DISEASE. How frequently does a head line similar to the above greet us in the newspapers. The rush, push and strenuousness of the American people has a strong tendency to lead up to valvular and other affections of the cardiac action, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distressing symptoms. Three of the prominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is made are recommended by some of the leading writers on Material Health for the cure of heart disease. Golden Seal for insurance, is said by the UNITED STATES DISPENSARY, a standard authority, "to impart tone and increased power to the heart's action." Numerous other leading authorities represent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system in general, and used in the manufacture of muscular tissue, it naturally follows that it must be greatly strengthened by this superb, general tonic. But probably the most important ingredient of "Golden Medical Discovery," so far as its marvelous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are compared with the results of our author, Prof. Wm. Paine, author of Paine's Entitlement of Medicine, says of it: "I, not long since, had a patient who was so much oppressed with valvular disease of the heart that his friend were obliged to recover under the influence of Collinsonin (medical principle extracted from Stone root), and is now attending to it no remedy for the removal of so distressing and so dangerous a malady. With them it was all gone,ork, he just lost his life. The death was near at Collinsonin unquestionably affords relief in such cases, and in most instances effects a Stone root is also recommended by Drs. Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for valvular and other diseases of the heart. The latter says: "It is a heart tonic of direct and permanent influence." "Golden Medical powers," not only evince affection, but is a most efficient general tonic and invigorator, strengthening the stomach, invigorating the liver, regulating the bowels and curing catarrhia, affections in all parts of the system.

He rattles off his words faster than an auctioneer calling for bids and in very much the same manner. When interrupting another man's speech he has a way of emphasizing his words syllable by syllable and with each syllable he snaps his head forward as if to break his own neck. For instance: "The president's power is soup-ream." When he said that the other day he nearly cracked the desk in front of him with his head when he said "soup" and again when he said "ream." MANUFACTURE NOSES. The Notoriety of Indore Rests Upon Its Hospital. The city of Indore is modern and ugly and uninteresting. Apart from being the prosperous capital of a rich state, its chief claim to notoriety rests upon its hospital, which has won universal fame by the manufacture of artificial noses. That may seem a very limited industry on which to build a name. But in India there are several ways of promoting this industry. When a woman comes to the hospital carrying her nose in a napkin you may fairly assume that her husband suspects a breach of the seventh commandment. When a man appears in the same plight you may set him down as a usurer who has fallen into the hands of his clients, and has had no Portia to plead his cause. Indore is the Mecca of these unfortunate. A NECESSARY EVIL. Experience of a Minister Who Tried to Think That of Coffee. "A descendant of the Danes, a nation of coffee drinkers, I used coffee freely till I was 20 years old," writes a clergyman from Iowa. "At that time I was a student at a Biblical Institute, and suddenly became aware of the fact that my nerves had become demoralized, my brain dull and sluggish and that insomnia was fastening its hold upon me. "I was loath to believe that these things came from the coffee I was drinking, but at last was forced to that conclusion, and quit it. "I was so accustomed to a hot table beverage and felt the need of it so much, that after abstaining from coffee for a time and recovering my health, I went back to it. I did this several times, but always with disastrous results. I had about made up my mind that coffee was a necessary evil." "About this time a friend told me that I would find Postum Food Coffee very fine and in many respects away ahead of coffee. So I bought some and, making it very carefully according to the directions, we were delighted to find that he had not exaggerated in the least. From that day to this we have liked it better than the old kind of coffee or anything else in the way of a table drink. "It's use gave me, in a very short time, an increase in strength, clearness of brain and steadiness of nerves; and sleep, restful and restoring, came back to me. "I am thankful that we heard of Postum and shall be glad to testify at any time to the good it has done me." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Stockwell of Indianapolis, a United States land man who made an extensive tour of inspection in the west, wrote the following article, under date of Jan. 8, for an Indiana publication: "States." In this letter I propose to show by extracts from my note book that thousands who have come up here from the "States" have suc- ceeded far beyond their most sanguine expectations. Mr. N. E. Beaumunk of Brazil, Indiana, was earning $100.00 per month with a coal company. At about the age of 40 he had saved about $3,000. Four years ago he landed near Hanley, Sask. He now owns 480 acres of land. Last fall (1905) he threshed 4,700 bushels of wheat and 3,100 bushels of oats. His wheat alone brought him over $4,000, which would have paid for the acres that it grew on. He is to-day worth $15,000. This Is Making Money Fast. In Feb. 1902, J. G. Smith & Bro. were weavers in a big cotton mill in Lancashire, England. Coming here they arrived in Wapella, Sask. with only $7500 between them. They were so "green" and inexperienced that all they could earn the first summer was $6.00 per month, and the first winter they had to work for their board. The next year, 1903, they took homesteads, and by working for neighbors, they got a few acres broken out; upon which the next year they raised a few hundred bushels of wheat and oats. They also bought a team and broke out about sixty acres more. In 1905 they threshed 1700 bushels of wheat from it, and 1300 bushels of oats. Their success being then assured they borrowed some money, built a good house, barn and implement shed, and bought a cream separator, etc. They now have a dozen cows, some full-blooded pigs and chickens, good teams and implements to match, and are on the high road to prosperity. Here are three cases selected from my note book from among a score of others. One a mine boss, one a farmer, and one a factory operator. With each of them I took tea and listened to their story. "I coped to better my condition" said one. "I thought in time I might make a home." said another. "I had high expectations," said the other, and all said that "I never dreamed it possible to succeed as I have." Like Arabian Nights. Everywhere, on the trains, at the hotels and in the family I have been told successes that reminded me more of the stories in the Arabian Nights than of this matter-of-fact workaday world. Yields of wheat from 35 to 53 bushels per acre, and of oats from 60 to 100 bushels, are numerous in every locality and well authenticated. At Moose Jaw, Lethbridge, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Brandon, Hanley and many intermediate places I saw cattle and young horses fat as our grain-fed animals of the "States" that had never tasted grain, and whose cost to their owners was almost nothing. At Moosomin I saw a train load of 1,400 steers en route to England, that were shaky fat, raised above stated. If the older generation of farmers in Indiana, who have spent their lives in a contest with logs and stumps as did their fathers before them, could see these broad prairies dotted with comfortable homes, large red barns, and straw piles innumerable, and the thriving towns with their towering elevators hammed to the roof with "No.1 hard," and then remember that four or five years ago these plains were tenantless but for the badger and coyote, they would marvel at the transformation. Then if they followed the crowds as they emerged from the trains and hurried to the land offices, standing in line until their respective turns to be wailed on came, and saw with what rapidity these lands are being taken, they would certainly catch the "disease" and want some of it too. If these lands are beautiful in mid-winter, with their long stretches of yellow stubble standing high above the snow, what must they be in summer time when covered with growing or ripening grains? Speaking of winter reminds me, that our Hoosier friends shrug their shoulders when they read in the Chicago and Minneapolis dailies of the temperature up here. For that very reason I am here this winter. The Canadian literature, with its pictures, half tones and statistics, gives a good idea of her resources, but thirty or forty degrees below zero sounds dangerous to a Hoozier, who nearly freezes in a temperature of five above, especially when accompanied by a wind, as it often is, but the fact is, when it is very cold here it is still and the air being dry the cold is not felt as it is in our lower latitudes, where there is more humidity in the atmosphere. I am 56 and I never saw a finer winter than the one I am spending up here. I arrived in Winnipeg Nov. 9, and have not had the bottoms of my overshoes wet since I entered Canada. Under a cloudiest sky I have ridden in sleeps nearly a thousand miles, averaging a drive every other day. Stone masons have not lost a week's time go far this winter. Building of all kinds goes right ahead in every city and hamlet, as though winter were never heard of. Information concerning homestead lands in Western Canada can be had from any authorized Canadian Government Agent whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper. Advice is as plentiful as good examples are scarce. THE CZAR SETS LIMIT NOT TO GIVE LEGISLATIVE AS SEMBLY A FREE HAND. CERTAIN SUBJECTS ARE BARRED "Reds" Not to be Allowed to Sit as Members of the Assembly — Government Retains Power to Promulgate "Temporary Laws." St. Petersburg, March 8.—The full text of an imperial manifesto and laws relative to the national assembly and the reorganized council of the empire, the features of which have already been telegraphed to the Associated Press, throws a flood of light upon the purpose of the government to keep a firm check on the new Russian parliament and to exclude certain subjects from consideration by the people's representatives. The composition of the council of the empire, or upper house of the national assembly, with one-half appointed by the emperor and twenty-six elected from the nobility and clergy, not counting scattering supporters from other classes, seems to insure a conservative if not a pliable majority in the council to block the national assembly should the majority of the latter be in opposition to the crown. The government carefully retains the power to promulgate "temporary" laws during recesses of the parliament and as the parliament is subject to dissolution by imperial ukase, the government is thus in a position in time of stress to rid itself of an obnoxious legislature and proclaim such laws as it deems necessary to meet the emergency A feature of the law which seems effectually to bar "reds" from membership in the national assembly is a provision exacting from persons elected an oath of fidelity to "emperor, autocrat and holy Russia." The most significant article, however, is one retaining certain provisions of an existing law which is mentioned only by number. This innocent looking provision is far reaching, placing beyond the jurisdiction of the parliament and consigning to existing commissions of the council of the empire, composed solely of members appointed by the crown, for consideration. the following: First—Reports of the minister of finance upon the state of the treasury. Second — Charges of malfeasance against members of the council of the empire, ministers, governors general and commanders-in-chief of land or sea forces. Third—The establishment of stock companies with special privileges. Fourth — Questions relating to entailed estates, titles of nobility, etc. MONEY FOR RURAL ROUTES. Washington, March 7.—The operations of the rural free delivery service up to March 1, 1905, are shown in a statement issued by Fourth Assistant Postmaster De Graw. Up to that time 52,227 petitions has been received and referred. Of these 13,722 were acted upon adversely. The number of routes in operation March 1, was 53,031, leaving 3,424 petitions still pending of which 191 have been assigned for establishment. In connection with these figures the statement is made that notwithstanding the development of the service there is an unexpended balance on hand to the credit of new establishment of $965,106 from the appropriation of $2,376,696 which became available July 1 of last year. DROPPED OUT OF THE WORLD. ADAMS' EXPLAINS THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE. Boise, Idaho, March 7.—The grand jury did not return indictments against Moyer and his associates charged with the murder of former Governor Steenunberg. It has been learned that the confession of Steve Adams clears up the mystery surrounding the disappearance of two of the men who dropped out of the world during the troubles at Telluride in 1902. One case is that of J. W. Barney, foreman of the Smuggler Union mine, and the other that of J. W. Smith. Both men disappeared mysteriously. Barney was taken from a livery stable by a lot of men and was not seen again. Smith was preparing to go to Colorado Springs to visit his family. He disappeared from the hotel. He formerly worked in Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines at Wardner. Smith was a nonunion man. What Adams told of the disappearance is not known, but there seems no doubt that both cases have been fully explained. JAPAN TO BUY UP RAILWAYS. Will Pay Private Lines $250,000,000 in Five Years. Tokio, March 6.—The scheme for the nationalization of the private railroads has been modified so that the change is to be compulsory after five years. The cost will be $250,000,000. Mr. Kato, minister of foreign affairs, dissents from the proposition and probably will resign. The passage of the bill by parliament is certain.

Bronght to the very verge of starva- tion by the rejection of all nourishment, her vitality almost destroyed, the re- covery of Mrs.J. A.

Woman's Odd Mania, One of the strangest cases of klepto- mania ever brought to light was heard of in Paris. A certain woman had ‘such a passion for smoking and for coloring meerschaum pipes that she had been for a long time stealing pipes of this description from shops. In the flat which she occupied there were found no fewer than 2,000 pipes, not one of which, it is believed, she had paid for. Constituent: Was Hunory. “Rig Tim” Sullivan, the Bowery Tammany king, met an impecunious constituent recently and took him to dinner in a restaurant much more pre- tentious than (he man was accustomed to. He was a fellow of almost infinite appetite and the amount of food he stowed away was something porten- tous, When Tim thought the man had consumed enough substantials ha asked: “Now, what'll you have for desert?” “What's that?" “Oh, some- thing to top off with.” ‘The constitu: ent languidly seanned the bill of fare. “1 guess Til have a beet stew,” he replied. A PERFECT HAND, a a ea) a Ble chil adi baal to the Public. The story of how probably the most perfect feminine hand in Ameri- ca became known to the people is rather interesting, As the story gocs the possessor of the hand was wiih séme friends ina photographer's one day and while talking, held np a piece of candy. ‘The pose of the hand with ts per- fect contour and faultless shape at- tracted the attention of the artist who proposed to photograph it. The re: sult. was a beautiful picture kept in the family until one day, after vead- ing a letter from someone inquiring as to who wrote the Postum and Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr. Post said to bis wife, "We receive so many inquiries of this kind, that it is evident some people are curious to know, suppose we let the advertis- tising department have that picture ‘of your hand to print and name it “A Helping Hand.” (Mrs. Post has .as- sisted him in preparation of some of the most famous advertisements). There was a natural shrinking from the publicity, but with an agree- ment that no name would accompany the picture its use was granted. ‘The case was presented in the light of extending a welcoming hand to the friends of ‘Postum and Grape-Nuts, ‘so the picture appeared on the back covers of many of the January and February magazines and became Known to millions of peopie. Many artists have commented upon it as probubly the most pérfect hand in the world ‘The advertising dept. of the Post- um Co. did not seem able to resist the temptation to enlist the curiosity of the public, by refraining from giving the name of the owner when the pic- ture appeared but stated that the mame would be given later in one of the newspaper announcements, thus seeking to induce the readers to look for and read the forthcoming adver- tisements to learn the name of the ‘owner. ‘This combination of art and com- merce and the multitude of inquiries furnishes an exce!lent illustration of the interest the public takes in the personal and family life of large manufacturers whose names become household words through extensive and continuous announcements in newspapers and periodicals, HAD NAPOLEON, ALL RIGHT Story of an American Who Wat Shown Napoleon's Tomb.

Cured by the Cuticura Remedies. “About four years ago I was afflict: ed with black splotches all over iny face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irri- tation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thorough exami- nation of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. | Fin- ally my husband purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. 1 continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever.

Our Women a ee ee oN, ee ke oad along natural lines that is taken under consideration femi- nine characteristics, and direct your christian influences, moral persuanions and prayers along those lines which wili awaken in her soul, the loftiest feminine sentimenti and purest emotions. In girls the instinct of love, sympathy, and tender devotion is more highly developed finer and more sensitive than in boys. The stern comatative edstructive for- ces which characterize the mas- culine nature are less prominent in the fairer sex. So in directing your christian forces among the young women consider her sen- sitive nature, which differs from the mosculine type of humanity not only from an anatomical and physiological standpoint, but in the delicate constyuction of her mental and moral qualities. “We have to protect the girls,” a common and familiar saying which illustrates feminine nature. So friends in this particular branch ef christian work and in your earnest and sencere efforts to bring them to Christ and throw around them christian in- fleunce which will make them strong, pure and goed and which will preserve her noble instinct of love sympathy and devotion. The most effective means to ac- complish this grand and glorious work and lead them to a blessed Savior into board and beautiful christian experience is exprssed in these few werds, ‘‘protect the girls.’ Christian women and mothers of the church, your prayers kind words 1s an effective means of bringing the young t Christ. The world is cold a n¢ cruel, unkind and unsympathetic to the girls. It allures the: int sin and then robs them of thei chasity and virtue and casts then away to flo2t down the streamo life, hither and thither as th drift wood, down, down the cur rent, an out cast, hopelees an friendless. A drastic moment th ecnsciene? is cognigant of a mis ,|take. The heart is suseeptable t influences good or evil. A kin sympathetle word, a Pleasan loving smile: the sweet story of. loving Christ always ready to for give and to protect and uplif them, will touch their hears ant constrain them aecept him at hi word, and rely upon his promises A scornful look, a harsh word o a feeling of indifference will driv them to the devil, hasten thei destruction. “Protect the girls.’’ The young women of good mora!s or of bac Whedon o ape esa ous da ans Ch ki express itin their countenance, in thought and by words, again and again with pathos in the deepest sincerity. Why not eX- tend them a sympathetic hand, take them in your loving embrace in your confidence and bring them to Christ. An effective means of bringing young women to destruction is the indictment of old women, old men, the old sinners who know the strenth and weakness of young women. Who know the ane they come to them dis- guised as 4 friend, with flattery and deceit, young women are sensitive, by lovedone who is sympathetic and kind. Whether it is real, genuine or looks serene. They like sympa- thy. Satan knows they do and he takes advantage of this point and like a spider weaves a web about his victim. She is lost — mothers and christian women do you un- derstand how it is done? The young women are sensitive, they love sympathy, kindr.ess and de- tion, Women by nature are help less—they need protection. Young men it is your duty to extend to them every measure of protection. Mothers you are not wholly to raise your daughters alone, you are notwholly accountable for their misdoings—the society im you live are ebligated to assist you by throwing about your daugh ter every possible safe-guerd. Dr. R. T. Bridgewater ‘Tulsa, I. T. THE FOOT PATH OF PEACE To be glad of life, because it gives yov the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the star; to be satisfied with your possession, but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cow- ardice; to he governed by your admirat’ons rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor’s except kindness of heart avd gentleness of man- ners; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and to spend as much timeas you can with body and with spirit, in God’s out-of-doors— these are the little guide posts on the foot- path to peace.
