Here we find the foreman as black as the proverbial midnight, and naturally so, for he is a full-blood Jamaican. At night the ngines come roling into their respective berths, each with some variety of mechanical ailment. The engineer of the disabled steed calls loudly for the foreman. He comes; the case is diagnosed, the trouble ascertained, and with the deft fingers of genius th foreman repairs the damage. "Yet this fellow came to the isthmus two years ago as a common laborer and was paid at the munificent rate of 80 cents per day. I understand his salary is now $1,800 a year. And he is one of the men that really earns his pay. There is no better place to study the adaptibility of the Jamaican Negro than at Culebra. Most of the engineers are Negroes, and so are the firemen. They are all ambitious, work well, and from all I was able to learn are giving perfect satisfaction." There was never a time in our existence and history as a race the need of more practical and wholesome teaching. Stop soaring abov the stars and come down with the people. We should meet the issue of the many existing evils square in the face. It takes manhood and courage to do it however and that is what is lacking in the so-called race reader of average reputation. Turn on the light.—Ex. Subscribe and pay for the Search-light. She is wide-awake. WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1906. The sorriest spectacle in this whole, wide, round world is the man or woman who is walking around alive—yet dead. Dead, because they are living in the past, in the days which are gone by and which we will never see or know again. The Negro as a race, is largely living in the past; wedded to the things and conditions which used to exist. He is still talking about the things which happened and obtained during the war, or just after the war. Somehow he refuses to see that the tallow candle, the stage coach, the old-fashioned farmer and the old-timed societies have almost entirely disappeared. Somehow he refuses to see that his occupations in which he once had a monoply are swiftly passing into the hands of white men. Somehow, he refuses to awake and re alize that the white men and women who used to befriend him are either ne arly all dead or have quietly withdrawn from him. Somehow, be, evn with forty years of schools and churches, refuses to make the religious progress which everybody else has made and is making. The whole world has changed. The electric line of progress rushes the cars by him, while he still stands at the station, in doubt and fear of himself, thinking of the good, old days of fast walking mule and the fast trotting ox. Isn't there some way to arouse our people and get them on the train before it will be too late? Isn't there some way to teach our men, women and children the lesson of organization, political and financial? Isn't there some one who can teach our Negro societies, churches, clubs and organizations, the proper place for Negro money? Isn't there somebody with love, ral love, sure enough love for his own race, to stand up in the pulpit and preach the doctrine—that the past is de ad, and that they who are now living in the past are dead too? Isn't there somebody somewhere, who is willing to stand and preach by his living daily example that the Negro Professional man can doe when he receives Negro support? That the Negro merchant can thrive when the Negoes give him their patronage? Isn't there somebody, somewhere who feels it his God-given duty to teach by actual daily practise the Gospel of Race Help? How long are we to think about the times when Negroes were holding all the best positions of labor, domestic and public service? How long are we going to think about those days when wages were high and employment NO.12 sought the man? How long, how long, how long are we going to be ALIVE— YET DEAD?—St. Louis Herald. A MANLY STAND. Emporia, Kan., June 5, 1906. Editor Searchlight. In Solo Deo Salus International Order Of Twelve Organized April 30th, 1891 Incorporated January 23rd, 1893 777 333 A MANLY STAND. ```markdown ``` 777 333 Emporia, Kan., June 5, 1906. I will first to congratulate you upon the marked improvement of your paper and to applaud the manly stand taken by the Negro citizens of Wichita, led by such an upright and fearless organ as the Searchlight, in the matter of their school privileges and against discrimination. The Fifteenth Annual Session of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle for Kansas-Nebraska Jurisdiction will convene in the Taborian Hall, in the city of Wichita, State of Kansas, Tuesday, July 10th, A. D. 1906, at 10:00 o'clock a.m., and will continue in session the 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th. Preliminary Session—The Board of Grand Curators is requested to meet Tuesday afternoon, July 10th. Representatives—Temples are requested to send their C. M. or V. M. and pay their traveling expenses and board. Tabernacles are requested to send their H. P. or V. P. and pay their traveling expenses and board. Palatiums their P. P. or V. P. and pay their traveling expenses and board. Tents are to send their Q. M. or V. M. and pay their traveling expenses and board. Take Due Notice—All Temples, Tabernacles, Palatiums and Tents must be represented, as the law is positive on this point. Endowment Receipts—Send or bring all receipts that you have received from the Endowment Secretary since the last Grand Session to this Grand Session, as per Constitution, page 169, article 23, and put them in the hands of the Committee. Kansas is taking so many backward steps toward its Negro citizens that it behooves the Negro citizen to wake up to its own magnitude—for while we are sleeping our rights are gradually being taken away from us. We usually wait too long before we act. Annual Returns.—Annual returns will be sent to each Temple, Tabernacle, Palatium and Tent in May which bring with you to the Grand Session. Any Temple, Tabernacle, Palatium or Tent failing to receive blanks by the 15th of May will immediately send to the C. G. S. or the C. G. M. and they will be sent at once. Be On Time.—As our work is done by Committees, we want all delegates represented on some one of the Committees at the hour of opening. Annual Sermon.—The Annual Sermon will be preached by Rev. Sir C. G. Fishback, C. G. O., Wednesday night July 11th. All members must be present in full dress regalia. The Official Paper—Quite a number have neglected paying for The Searchlight, our official organ which should be promptly paid. Since the state statutes forbid separate schools—to use a common parlance—it is up to you people of Sedgwick to raise up above party lines and defeat some of the nominees for representatives from your county who favor separation. In this do not falter, but let your manhood waken—the fight is on to the finish—"Eternal vigilance is the price of success." Divine Service—The General Law sets the Third Sunday in June for the Annual Sermon to be preached. In all places where there are more than two or three members, they must meet and make arrangements to have the sermon preached at the same hour. In no instance will this order or may be changed. If the sermon is not preached on the Third Sunday in June it cannot be preached on any other Sunday. Witness my hand with the official seal of the Grand Temple and Tabernacle. (Seal) Attest: A. W.

There has always been an element of capital that has so up from time to time the argument that steel construction had never been tried in an earthquake or a big fire and now it has been tried in both to the entire satisfaction of every advocate of it. It was not the very best sample of the steel construction that went through the trial that.

The buildings of steel construction in San Francisco were far from being up to the standard of the modern New York steel construction, but they were enough to make their sponsors satisfied and will go a long, long way toward the adjustment of building questions of the future. WHEAT AS POULTRY FOOD. Reason Why It Is Better Than the Screenings, and in Long Run Cheaper. If I say that an earthquake might shake out from under one of our modern steel structures one-third of the ground it stands on and it would still stand, I say it with the reservation that the remaining two-thirds of the ground would have to be good ground. In all the stories I have seen of the San Francisco calamity, and the performance of the steel structure, there has appeared a vein of optimism that would make it appear that all you need for an element and earthquake resisting building is to have a steel structure. As a matter of fact, when it comes to earthquakes a steel building is just as liable to have some of its juxtaposition disarranged as one of ordinary masonry and iron if it is not on good ground. Wheat is a very good poultry food, and it is as cheap to buy the whole wheat as it is it screenings, unless the latter can be purchased at a very low price. Frequently when wheat is selling at 80 cents per bushel the farmer must pay from 30 to 60 cents per bushel for screenings. These screenings contain a great deal of weed seed, some of which, like corn cockle, is injurious to the poultry. The wheat screenings consist largely of shriveled wheat, which has in it little substance and in very many cases the farmer will find it cheaper to buy good wheat for his poultry. Wheat is especially serviceable for small chicks, as the grains are small and if scattered in straw, the chicks are compelled to do a great deal of work to get a meal. Most of our farmers, says the Farmers' Review, have wheat they grow on their own farms, that on account of having a poor color, will sell at a low price. It will be found better to hold and feed such wheat than to take the trouble of marketing it. A modern steel structure is based on concrete piers that reach to something solid. Concrete is the best kind of rock after it has hardened; therefore the solidness of rock has been brought up to the steel feet of the building. From there up the steel frame is tied together in such a fashion that unless there is a lot of flaws in a lot of the steel it has all the resilient qualities of a well-constructed bird cage. Take a very ordinary bird cage and try to jar it apart; note the resistance. Multiply that several thousand times, and you begin to have an idea of the hold-togetherness of a steel building skeleton. On this skeleton there is placed rock or terra cotta in such a manner that as a body in itself the walls are made up of many bodies that amount to only two, and in some cases one story only is a unit; that is, the walls of a 20-story steel building are really only a series of walls one two stories high, and a quake might shake out the walls on the first and second floors and leave the walls standing between the fifth and sixth, and all the rest for that matter, and when you consider that of the whole, it is easy to see that it would take a shake greater than man has recorded to disintegrate a modern steel struc- To the modern day colored man, Ingalls' phrase, "politics is an irredescendream," fits smoothly, and completely.

A love talk is always apropos of nothing—but love. * * * Give whimsy a fair field and outlaw none of our illusions, delusions, and heresies, and lo, you have the toleration of toler- ance—the millenium of mind. * * * Civilization is a poor sort of makeshift, yet I suppose we should be thankful that people are tame even if they are not very humane. Our work which takes so much of us and should be the best expression of us, is actually of our real lives a thing apart—a concession to the Belly. * * * * Life in a civilized state begins with the sensation that there are 100 cents in a dollar. * * * * We seek the society of those who flatter us; and we like the flatterer, but we despise the flatterer. * * * * Don't go back to the places endeared to you by childhood, for then you lose your illusions and gain only a new pain. * * * * Heartiness effects more than humility in the affairs of life. A great many men, and women, too, mistake stupidity for common sense. * * * * So many people have opinions without having convictions. * * * * We all profess to think well of huma. Ivy, because we like to be well ought of. WALTER BLACKBURN HARTE. There is talk, we hear, of forming "the Association of Deans of American Letters"—a most interesting brotherhood which should have been installed long since in a clubhouse of its own. The plans at present are indefinite, but there is promise of a large formal dinner annually, with smaller and informal spreads whenever Mr. Howells, or Mr. Clemens, or Dr. Hale, or any other Dean has a birthday. There is some talk of increasing the membership of the association by electing 50 or 100 Vice Deans of American Letters. Thus, James Whitcom Riley would be the Vica Dean from Indiana; Edwin Markham from Staten Island, and so on. No au thor will be eligible for a deanship under the age of 60, nor for a vice deanship under 45. Of Interest to Bibliophiles. A very rare first edition of the World's Almanac for 1901 sold at auction in Brooklyn for $270. Barring a loose cover and a few torn pages, it was in excellent condition. Theophilus Bugg, the well-known collector of Evanston, Ill., announces another find of great value: Mark Twain's Sketches," Chatto & Windus, Piccadilly; cocoa and pill ads on flyleaves and Bear's Soup on rear cover. The back of the book is unglued and the front cover is detached. A magnificent acquisition. Lovers of fine books will welcome the sumptuous volume which Messrs. Josh, Gosh & Co. are issuing for the bibliophile trade—a de luxe edition of Roget's Thesaurus, with illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy and Henry Hutt. These famous illustrators have never done anything more beautifully irrelevant or less in keeping with the text. A unique copy of Marie Corelli's "Romance of Two Worlds" fetched £93 at auction in London. The book had once been read by the late queen, and contained nearly a hundred marginal notes in pencil, such as "How true!" "My own sentiments," etc. Victoria was very fond of Corelli's books, and read little else. The author of the comedy "Coming Through the Rye" proceeded on the theory that the original Rye was a field of waving grain. Probably not two authors out of three are better informed. The golden goose which Herr Conried, of the Metropolitan opera house, came into possession of not long ago has been laying two eggs a day right along, and six when Herr Conried has a benefit. It is feared that the goose will expire from overwork, and the attention of the S. P. C. A. has been called to the matter. Maupassant, says a current author, never talked about literature. "There are so many other things of so much greater interest to talk about," he used to say. But this was pure after- tation. Everybody knows that there is nothing so interesting as literature and the persons who manufacture it. The Wheel of Mirth. (A rainy afternoon. Scene: The main hall of the Eden Musee, New York city. Discovered, seated, Edith Wharton and Ellen Glasgow.) Edith—What perfect weather! If only it would rain every day! Ellen—Yes; but, unhappily, into each life some sunshine must fall. Edith—Life is such a dismal business! How perfectly it is symbolized by these faded, tawdry waxworks around us, these dusty, rusty crowned heads! It is so beautifully depressing. Do you come here often? Ellen—Of late I have done much of my thinking here. The plot of "The Wheel of Life" came to me while I was sitting in this very chair. Edith—How interesting! I do nearly all my work here, both thinking and writing. I wrote "The House of Mirth" here, over in that corner, behind the wax figure of Schopenhauer, I know of no other corner where the atmosphere is quite so thick. Ellen—Except the Chamber of Horrors downstairs. I planned my best scene there. Edith—For certain ghastly effects I recommend the Chamber of Horrors, but for general dreariness, I think the atmosphere of this hall is much the best. I enjoyed your "Wheel" very much. At thirty, I confess, my view of life was still tinged with optimism. You developed early, my dear. Ellen—I always had intuitions, more real to me than the so-called facts of existence. As a child I shunned the rose because I sensed the thorns. The first marsh marigold of spring threw me into a profound melancholy. Dafodils always suggested a danse macabre. Experience taught me that my intuitions were correct. Edith—It is always safe to trust one's intuitions, that is, if one be a woman and a literary genius. Still, experience is not wholly without value. * * * Oh dear, the rain has stopped and the sun is coming out. Isn't it too bad! Ellen—And spring is almost here, with its foolish violets and perky green stuff. I can hardly wait for autumn. Edith—There is nothing lovelier than a wet day in October. Es lebe der Tod! Es lebe der Tod! Ellen—What a splendid title for a novel—Es Lebe der Tod! Edith—Shall we collaborate on it? Ellen—I should love to! Edith—Come over in the Schopen- hauer corner and we will block it out. Letters of an Art Student. (Being a second communication from Charles Dana Gibson to Robert W. Chambers.) My dear Chambers: In my last letter I told you of my remarkable discovery that red and blue mixed together produce purple. Since then I have happened on a number of surprising things, and I regret a thousand times that I did not take up the study of color years ago. Would you believe that blue and yellow combined give green? I had always supposed that green was a primary color, one sees so much of it in nature. I do not yet quite see why it should not be. But my greatest discovery is "Endymion." It happened this way: Cleaning my palette the other day I scraped the little dabs of paint into a heap and this casual mixture produced the most beautiful tint, unlike anything in the pain: shops. I immediately named it "Endymion" and gathered it in a tube. It would be very effective in a Greek landscape, and I intend to send some to Otho Cushing to color his Olympian fashion plates with. My one tube is priceless, as I cannot seem to find the combination again, though I have tried a dozen times and wasted a vast quantity of colors. I think a beautiful poem might be written on, say, "The Lost Tint." The first stanza runs in my head as follows: I am not much of a hand at verse- making. Perhaps you can do, something with it. It is more in your line. As ever, C. D. GIBSON. Best Advertised Books. To be mentioned in our list of Best Advertised Books a novel must be equal to Thackeray, Dickens, Scott, Dumas, Balzac, or Stevenson, or must have a pathological effect on the reader. No attention will be paid to the "greatest novel of the year," or the strongest, most powerful, or most striking novels of the year. Our returns for the past month show the following publications to have been the best advertised: THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CANDLES— "The best novel since Stevenson." THE RECKONING— "A book to make the pulses throb and the heart beat high." HEARTS AND MASKS— "Teems with breathless excitement." THE STORM SIGNAL— "To be read with drawn breath and quickening pulses and a swelling heart." THE CHRISTY EVANGELINE BOOK— "Makes Longfellow Worth While." "This year it is the Cosmopolitan." Next year—what? Rumor says "The North American Review." As we go to press Frank Munsey is starting another magazine. "Are cork legs very costly?" "Well, a man usually gives up one of his legs before he gets one."—Houston Post. THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT SENATOR GORMAN DEAD. In the death of Senator Arthur Pue Gorman, of Maryland, another deadly enemy to the Negro's progress has pased to his happy hunting ground. It is usual that we, with the rest of humanity, regret when a fellow passenger on life's sea falls over board, but in this case can we, with the other part of the Negro race feel sorry or shed crock-o-dile tears at the demise of an enemy to the race such as was Senator Gorman during his life time? During his life and public career Senator Gorman made it his specialty to find obstacles to place in the pathway of the Negro and on his plea of Negro-hater he pitted race against race and did more than his share to make the progress of the Negro as slow and his condition as dark as possible. When the grim reaper death shall have visited a few more of such personages maybe the negro can be let alone for awhile. Personal ambition often retards the progress of the masses by sound individuals who want to get there and such stumbling blocks should be removed, as they are veritable back sets. Mrs. Stevens, of Linn Creek, Mo. arrived in the city Sunday and will visit with her daughter, Mrs. J. C. Case. Robt. Mallory left Sunday for Guthrie, Oklahoma to remain during the summer.

Seasonable Entertainments and Suggestions for Social Functions By EDITH A. BROWN Society Editor of the Chicago Record-Herald. "Going Away" Luncheons for Prospective Travelers—Rapid-Fire Geography Contest—Second Wedding Anniversary Celebration—Paper Costumes for Bridal Party—Grab-Bag for Partners—Newspaper Edited by Host and Guests. At this time of year almost everyone is planning for a trip of some kind—to the seashore, mountains or abroad, and usually there are numerous little attentions from the friends before the departure. The most popular form of entertainment of this kind is luncheon, for men care little for the sentiments of such entertainments and, what is more to the point, they have precious little time for them. For the woman who is going to the mountains many pretty little ideas can make a luncheon in her honor a very attractive affair. For instance, the centerpiece may be a mound of brown stones or of chocolate-coated rock candy, on the top of which is sprinkled a goodly supply of pulverized sugar to represent snow. At intervals up to the height determined as "tree limit" little green twigs can be placed, and now and then a bit of moss or mountain flower or some such thing may complete the illusion. This centerpiece, of course, will rise from "foot-hills" of moss and rocks. The menu should be suggestive of travel and its experiences. For soup have vegetable—designated as "a little of everything." Then there is mountain trout, and any meat which may be put down as "venison disguised" or "bear-(ly) meat;" tiny new potatoes roasted to a good brown may be "patatoes a la rocks" and the ice may be a mound of chocolate or caramel ice cream with a dash of vanilla on the top to represent the snow-capped peak. For souvenirs and place cards have a different traveling necessity for each guest—alpine stocks, dress suit cases, tiny trunks, toy cars and the many novelty which may be picked up at the confectioner's or novelty dealer's. For the one who is going abroad, get a large square or oblong piece of glass such as is used over tables in places where cloths are not advisable—a doctor's table, for instance. Spread this over a sea-green silk tableboth which is draped about the edge also. Lay lace dolllers for the plates and tumblers and other dishes. In the center of this sea place a large floral steamer flying a pennant bearing the name of the guest of honor. Over the table, placed helter skelter but so that each one is in front of a cover, have toy boats, yachts or steamers each flying a flag of some nation upon which is written the name of the guest for whom it is intended. This will convert the table into a sea of boats. Floral boats will hold the salted nuts and bon bons and olives. The soup should be clear and may be served in china boats, the fish may be planked and brought to the table for service on a large plate of glass; or it may be creamed lobster served in pastry boats. The meat may be anything the hostess chooses. Green vegetable salad should be served and the ice—pistache ice cream, it may be—should ice served in boats. After one of these luncheons a rapid-fire geography contest may be used with good result. Divide the guests in two divisions like the line-up for the old spelling school contests. Then start with: "What is the capitol of China?" "Where does the Mississippi rise?" "Where is Dresden?" and a long list of such questions, including a drilling on the capitals of the various states. This will be the means of creating much fun, for few there are who are not rusty on these questions after a few years from study. Time to think must not be given, for then the fun of the contest will be spoiled. Question them like the man who turned to his neighbor at a dinner—a very learned man he was, too—and said quickly: "What was Abraham Lincoln's first name?" The learned man stopped, studied, reddened and replied: "I declare if I remember." The one who stands longest in the contest will be given a book of travels or the floral centerpiece if the boat is used, and the one who is first out will receive a consolation prize of a tiny geography. Second Wedding Anniversary. The coming of the second wedding anniversary brings the paper celebration. This may be an evening affair and a very pretty one, likewise. The decorations which were used at the wedding two years previous—that is, the same scheme of decoration—may be carried out in paper flowers instead of the real ones. The portieries may be taken down and ropes of paper roses hung, instead. If it is possible to gather the bridal party together have them come, the men in paper suits and the hostess with her maids in paper costumes which are the exact reproductions of their gowns worn at the wedding. The same form of reception as for the wedding may be used. That is, the mother of the "bride" will receive the guests, and not until the wedding march is sounded will the bridal party appear. The wedding procession will be given and a mock marriage service be pronounced, the bride and groom standing under bells of paper roses. The other guests may be asked to come in paper costumes representative of famous characters of fiction or history. Later this idea may be turned into a game, the one guessing correctly the most characters represented winning a prize, or a prize being offered for the best gown. In the dining-room the decorations consist of paper flowers and festoons of paper hearts. The table will be covered with crepe paper and the candles will be shaded with paper rose shades. In the center of the table a large paper basket will be filled with paper roses. Partners for the dining-room may be found in this wise: Hang a large paper grab-bag in one of the rooms. Place therein bits of poetry describing the charms or the individualities of the women of the party. The men do the "grabbing" and must find the women by means of the description. The slips may be numbered, the hostess keeping the key to the descriptions by means of the number, and in this way it can be determined whether or not the men choose correctly. Serve salad in paper cases on paper plates, thin sandwiches and salted nuts. Ice cream in paper baskets with wafer cakes and coffee may follow. For the close of the evening the party may edit a newspaper. The host may elect himself editor and each one is requested to contribute an item. It may be a "local news" item or a bit of poetry, but everyone is given 30 minutes in which to compose his item. At the close of the time the slips are numbered or the names of the contributors are written on the back of the contribution, and the host reads the items aloud. A vote is taken and the one whose contribution is voted most clever receives a prize of a year's subscription to some magazine or paper. Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) THROUGH AFRICAN BUSH. Journey on Foot That Was Frought with Many Dangers to Life and Limb. From Oxford to Matabeleland is a long distance, and from the life of a college student to that of a surveyor in South Africa a far cry. A recent graduate of the English university tells in the New York Evening Post of a dangerous and trying journey through the bush. The party of surveyors had met with various misfortunes, the greatest of which was the slaughter of their cattle by lions. Only two were left to draw the cart. The travelers had to journey by foot. In this fashion the party turned back toward their starting place, Bulawayo. "Our provisions began to get low. We ran successively out of jam, corn, vegetables, coffee, sugar, and, what was more serious, our ammunition began to fail, and we were reduced to two cartridges a day. It was not yet hot enough to make 'biltong', a dried meat, which keeps good for an indefinite time. "Do you think you could steer a straight course through the bus?" the captain asked me one day. "I said I thought so. "The captain snorted a little contemptuously. "I want you to go there," he said, pointing to a high range of kopjes five miles away. "Plant a large flag on the top of the highest hill you can find. It is to serve as the apex of the triangle we have been measuring. Start early to-morrow and guide yourself by the sun, allowing for its ascent and declination." "I started at dawn, carrying an ax, and a large roll of calico for the flag. I reached the kopjes shortly before noon, and after climbing with difficulty the great bowlers, saw a higher range at the back. On the top of this I planted the flag securely, and, after resting a bit, started on my return with a light heart. "I had been walking for about three hours when my first doubts assailed me. It was growing dusk. The kopjes stood behind me, rows on rows, all alike. There was no landmark to guide me. I was lost. "I wandered about for more than two hours. The sun went down and the moon came out. To be lost in the bush is a serious matter. Suddenly, in the stillness of the night, I heard a beautiful sound, like a high note drawn by a master on some old violin. It might have been a mile away, and it rose and fell plaintively on the breeze. It was a lion, lifting up his voice by a pool. "I proceeded in the opposite direction. Luckily it was the right one, and after a few miles I came upon the traces of our last night's camp. I followed our wagon trail, and just as the sun rose came upon my party. "The captain met me with the information that the ammunition was gone. Later one of us discovered a cartridge in the bottom of the cart and brought down a duck. That night we had dinner for the last time in six days. Afterward we were reduced to half a pound of flour a day, which we mixed into a gruel and boiled. "On the fourth day all our supplies were gone. The last two days are hardly a memory to me. I remember trudging beside the cart, hearing the cracking of the whip as the driver harried the weary oxen over the veld. At last, on the sixth day, we saw the houses of the settlement in the mirage two feet above the level of the plain." Knights and Daughters, if you have changed High Priestess or Chief Motors since this list was published kindly notify me at once, that I may make the correction. KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS TABOR.
