Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Who Are The Better Class? EIGTHTH YEAR. We hear a great deal of talk se days by white people about at "The Better Class" of Ne- ges must do. It has often occurred to our mind to are the Negro whom the American white man calls the Bet- Class? from our observation of Ameri- customs and usag there are better class of Negroes and no se class, but all men who have one-hundreth of gro blood all men who are black as mid- tate are all classed as Negroes and thrown in the junk pile togeth- matters not how moral, intelligent, cultured, wealthy or refined Negro may be or how good a man he has made, from his birth is not given any greater public it than is the worst and most account skallowag in the race. When it occurs to our mind that encouragement is there for Negro to be a good, law-abiding man?" He has none save his inherent consciousness "to do right and live right." The American white man is always ready point out the bad traits concerning the Negro but fails to find the bad ones and make them public. Agree that it pays to be "lawing, peaceable, honest and pacific and all agree that the great portions of the Negroes today striving to make good citizens, the Negro asks is that the white man take notice that "all Negroes not alike," and to give due it to the good and join hands in the Negro in suppressing the bones. Do not pre-judge a man the color of his skin, for often is they misjudge the real man and that shady skin. "A man's man for a' that," truthfully says poet. that reason is there to bunch Negroes together and say they "Bad Negroes." None. There some good Negroes, and lots of. And if the American white would be willing to give due it to all men, regardless to col- who live honorable and upright and make good, peaceable law-abiding citizens it would more to do away with the bad so than any other remedy pos- For there would be a re- ward for which all Negroes would strive to attain, knowing that once he has attained it, respect by all men on his merit will result. As the American custom is today the intelligent, the refined, and the law-abiding Negro must be subject to the same conditions whiche the white man claims are provided for the bad and vicious Negro. Thus saying that no Negro can ever rise higher than the bad and vicious. This of itself is not true and strips the intelligent, refined and law-abiding Negro of all desires, save that of his own consciousness to try to live honorable, and does more to increase vice and immorality, if it increases, among the Negro than any other one thing. The Negro is susceptible of knowing right from wrong and bad treatment from good. Good treatment for good acts always increases one's desire to do good while bad treatment for good acts always increases the other tendency. We would all have the Negro increase his intellect, his morality, his Christian standing, his financial standing and his standing as a man and we will do all within our power to keep him, but this work can be greatly aided by help from the white man to hand out just rewards for merit, and not withhold them on account of race or color. The "Brownsville affair" developed during the week into mere politics, part of a game played for points, regardless of anything except the points of the game. The strongk attack made by Senator Foraker of Ohio, on the president, supposedly in defense of the colored troops involved, was made from the standpoints occupied by opponents of the anti-monopoly measures at the last session of Congress. The intention is to force a "race question" in front of all other questions in national politics, so that the people of the Southern States will be able to take no effective part with those who are struggling for great national reforms. It means, in brief, that the "race question" has been moved as a substitute for the "trust question" and all similar questions and that the issue is now on the adoption of the substitute. In the shuffle the Sedgwick county democrats dealt the "colored brother" a bad hand. They still have some dangerous cards up their sleeves—better look out Mr. Colored Man. WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JAN. 26, 1907. MISS ELLEN TERRY Two Stories of a Girl Who Is Unintentionally Funny. May Robson, who is playing with Francis Wilson in "The Mountain Climber," is the princess of story tellers, and can give cards and spades to Willie Collier, Wilton Lackaye, and De Wolf Hopper and beat them out at their own game. Miss Robson's maid is quite as celebrated for her funny sayings as Miss Robson herself, with this difference: The maid never intends to be funny, and the actress does. During a recent engagement in Boston a friend of Miss Robson sent her a volume of Ethel Watts Mumford's poems. When it came the actress said to the maid: "You may open the package for me." The girl slowly undid the parcel and opened the book, and then said in utmost surprise and disappointment: "What did he want to send you a book of poetry for? You've got one at home." Eva never is the least bit shaken. She goes on her way calmly, notwithstanding Miss Robson is at times apt to be somewhat of a whirlwind. The other day the mistress came in and found her rather untidy, and, stamping her foot in the characteristic way that her friends know, she said: "Why will you be so untidy? You drive me crazy. You will simply be so dirty they won't take you in at the hotels. I cannot understand why you do this, when you know I have talked to you so much. It is growing worse and worse, and from an untidy girl you will become an absolutely slovenly old woman." After this tirade the girl looked up calmly and said to Miss Robson: "Don't forget to mail your letters, will you?" May subsided with a laugh. His Choice. Mrs. Gardner, of the vaudeville, tells of a little six-year-old boy who lives in a small city in the south where the mercantile business is almost entirely in the hands of enterprising Hebrews, and who came home one night with the following resolution: "Mamma, I've decided not be a conductor." "Really!" "Yes; and I'm not going to be motorman." "Why, dear, your whole future is at stake; you mustn't give up the occupations you have so longed for. What are you going to do?" "I'm going to be a Jew." Plans are under way for the establishment of Henrietta Crosman at the head of a company and theater of her own in New York city, to be devoted exclusively to the production of original comedies. BELASCO'S STAGE METHODS. Pictorial Sense of Manager Responsible for Unusual Efforts. Once upon a time a wager was made in a club in New York that a spectator might go to the Belasco theater, stand behind the glass partition at the back of the parquet, hear scarcely any word that was spoken on the stage, but see all that passed there, and then be able to give an intellibible and comprehensive account of a play of which he knew no more in advance than what the program contained. The test was made and the spectator returned to the club and gave a surprisingly full and accurate account of the play. In other words, Mr. Belasco's pictorial sense is go vivid and so fine and he employs it so illusively and impressively that the spoken word becomes with him almost an accessory. Of none of his pieces has this been truer than of "The Rose of the Rancho." The attentive listener recalls with difficulty what the characters have said, but he remembers clearly and sharply the pictures that he has seen and that made passion animate or that crystallized a mood. In the second act in particular there are high-pitched emotions in vivid play and the whole impression is of seeing rather than hearing them. By so much is Mr. Belasco a unique master of the picture stage. It Might Have Been Before she became a professional singer, Fritzi Scheff, of "Mile, Modiste," had planned to become a schoolmann in Vienna. Comedian Frank Daniels' first ambition was to become a wood engraver, a craft at which he served three years in Boston before turning actor. David Montgomery's boyhood dreams of fame lay in becoming a cyclist scorcher, and his partner's, Frederick Stone's, in getting on a professional baseball team. Kryle Bellell mastered navigation before turning player, and Robert Loraine served a short term as an attorney's clerk. Before the stage won her Mrs. Leslie Carter, had hopes of becoming a trained nurse. Herbert's Irish. Victor Herbert, the composer, was born in Dublin, Ireland, February 1, 1859, and as the grandson of the distinguished poet, painter, dramatist, musician and novelist, Samuel Lover, he comes by his musical talents naturally. When a child he was taken to Germany, and at the age of seven became a student of music. His first prominent position was as first cellist of the court orchestra Stuttgart, at the age of 27. His exceptional ability was not long pent up in the provincial German capital, however, and he was soon winning laurels in this country. Not A Colored Man's Fight There is a great agitation in Kansas these days about saloons or no-saloons. And there are several people who are making an effort to get the colored people interested in the fight one way or the other. For several years the white men have been permitted to run saloons in Kansas in strict violation of the law—because there is money in the saloons—but at the same time it has been just as strictly seen to that no colored men were permitted to violate the law by running saloons. And not only has the white man been permitted to run saloons in violation of the law, but they have been further permitted to bar the black man from their illegal places—and in their discriminations against the black man they have received the full backing of the officers sworn to enforce "ALL THE LAWS." Now, at this late day, we believe that this is truly the time that the black men should keep out and let the white men who have received all the benefits—fight the whole battle. This liquor question as inaugurated in Kansas is not a question with which the black men should fret much. The black men of Kansas are now, as they have always been, in favor of "law enforcement" and as to the black man and the saloons of Kansas, the law IS strictly enforced. We do not now and never have advocated saloons for colored men any more than for any other, for we are not saloon advocates. We pride ourselves on this one fact—that in all the eight years of our publication we have never solicited nor run a liquor adevtisement for any one in our paper. And we feel none the worse off. We advocate fair play—if it is good for a town to be loaded down with saloons, run by white men in violation of the law, how much worse would the town be by permitting a decent saloon among the colored people and permit them to violate the law? Both would be law-violators—one no worse than the other. The colored people should keep their hands off—let the chips fall where they may. We have pronounced ideas on this subject, which our modesty forbids us stating at this time. We say, however, if the law is to be violated let it be a free-for-all go—if it is to be enforced let it catch all alike. London.—A correspondent in the Field writes that the following method of inducing refractory hens to sit is stated to be practiced with success in the Department of Charente Inferieure, NO.45 The hen is fed with bread soaked in wine, and soon becomes hopefully drunk. Eggs are then placed under her and she i covered with an overturned crate or basket, which is removed in the course of a few hours. When the fowl returns to sobriety she accepts the clutch of eggs as an accomplished fact, and duly hatches them out. This notion, due to the ingenious humor of a boy, has been found to work well, and is now well known among local poultry keepers. The correspondent adds that it might be worth while experimenting in this country to see whether bread soaked in beer will act as a inducement to hens to save the expense of incubators. NEGRO'S FAILING. A prominent gentleman said recently that "There is no race of people on earth who is as vindictive and jealous one toward the other as is the American Negro. If one Negro gets a grudge against another Negro no matter on what grounds, there is absolutely no middle ground—absolutely no compromising but it is a bitter fight to the end. That which is called racial feeling is unknown in its true sense among Negroes, but is a Negro makeshift and a sham." This is a terrible and ghastly indictment of the whole Negro race, but it is one which whom experience we are sorry to say is true as steel. It is this vindictiveness and jealousy which prevents the Negro from making a more pronounced success in business and in other lines. He is so jealous of his brother in black that he will go to any amount of trouble to make Negroes in business a failure. Such action can only come from an ignorant mind, and one void of the proper reasoning. The Negro must eradicate this state of affairs or else as a race he is doomed, doomed, doomed. NEWS OF GREAT BEND. Rev. J. H. Raimey preached two very instructive sermons to his congregation Sunday morning and evening. His texts were "Obedience," and "You Cannot Serve God and Mammon." All that heard the sermons enjoyed them. Mrs. John Brown return form El Reno, Okla., after a visit with relatives and friends. Mrs. Jennie Armstrong has gone to Larned.

Rural Call Route.—Every farmer in Ottawa county is now supplied, or can be supplied, with his mail by rural delivery route. There are twenty-one routes in the county. Hit Gas at Depth of 736 Feet. — The first well to be drilled by the Home Development Company at Arkansas City struck gas at a depth of 736 feet on a tract of land north of the city. It is estimated that the well will yield 1,000,000 cubic feet of gas a day. Disastrous Fire at Irving.—Bryan's drug store and John Moore's general merchandise store at Irving were destroyed by fire. The hotel was badly scorched and was fired several times. The contents of the two stores are a total loss. It was partly covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is not known. Gold Watch For D. J. Hanna. — The senate presented D. J. Hanna, ex-lieutenant governor, with a handsome gold watch. Senator Noffzger made the presentation speech. It was the intention of the senators to give Mr. Hanna the watch on the last day he presided over the senate, but it was necessary to have the case engraved and that caused the delay. Cold Deal For Ottawa. — Ottawa ate a cold supper and went to bed shivering in the dark the other night. The Kansas Natural Gas Company's Ottawa, Lawrence and Topeka pipe line went out at the Pottawatomie creek crossing near Garnett. The failure disabled the electric light and water plant for lack of fuel, and practically every house in town was without heat or light. Trickett Is Reappointed. — The first official act of Fred S. Jackson, the newly elected attorney general of Kansas, was the re-appointment of C. W. Trickett as assistant attorney general for Wyandotte county, in which Kansas City, Kan., the largest city in the state, is located. Mr. Trickett is the man who a few months ago permanently closed every saloon and joint in Wyandotte county. Names His Office Force.—C. W. Barnes, superintendent of insurance, has announced the names of the members of his office force. L. S. Lewis, who has been chief clerk in the office under Superintendent Lulling, has been promoted to the position of assistant. Jay Smith of McPherson is to be chief clerk, J. L. Hersch of Ablicne, book-keeper, L. W. Fulton of Carbondale, bond clerk and Miss Nellie Tutcher, stenographer. A Nest of Glanders. — Dr. F. S. Schoenleer, state veterinarian, visited Atchison and found a bad nest of glanders among the horses. He ordered the following horses killed: Jim Conway, colored, three; J. H. Barney, one mule; Hekelnamper Bros., one; Tom Sawyer, colored, one; Ben Jackson, colored, one; Newland, colored, one. Besides these, several other horses are under quarantine, and may be ordered killed within a few days. 5 Tragedy at Wichita. — S. C. McClure, a telephone lineman, shot twice at his divorced wife, Myrtle J. LaForce, on Douglas avenue, in Wichita, and then fled, believing he had killed her. A couple of hours later his dead body was found in a barn he had rented. He had taken a dose of carbolic acid and had shot himself twice, once just above the heart and once through the head. Domestic trouble, which ended in a separation was the cause. The lady was not seriously injured. Pursued by the Flames. — The Kansas natural gas pipe line from the Bolton fields to Joplin broke under the pressure of the gas at a point three miles west of Liberty, in the yard of Clint Ingraham, and within ten feet of his house. The escaping gas ignited from the stove in the house and a tremendous explosion followed. Mr. Ingraham and family fled for their lives. They had to run 200 yards before they passed beyond the limits of the flames from the escaping gas, which was plainly visible in Coffeyville, eight miles away. The house and contents and fences and outbuildings and barn of Mr. Ingraham were consumed. Charges Against a City Engineer. —W. W. Gilmore, a sewer contractor of Topeka, made charges against James McCabe, city engineer. He claims that McCabe forced him to pay $2,625 for one job of sewer construction in the Fifth ward and says that the city engineer held up contractors for about $20,000 annually. The city council has suspended McCabe pending an investigation of the charges. Santa Fe Brakeman Killed. —E. R. Roth of Emporia, $ Santa Fe brakeman, was killed at Mission Siding, six miles west of Newton, 5 Tried to Rob a Bank.—Three men made an unsuccessful attempt to rob the Andale State Bank, at Andale, Sedgwick county. Locks on the doors to the bank building were picked, the vault door battered and the brick vault partly destroyed with picks. A physician who carried a lantern frightened the burglar from the bank. They stole a Missouri Pacific handcar and escaped. 5 Worked for Two Weeks. — C. B. Rambo, a Santa Fe brakeman of two weeks' experience, was crushed to death at Frontenac. The drawheads caught him in the front and back of the abdomen, causing death in less than five minutes. He was married last Christmas to a Chanute girl. Will Divide Their Work. — The house and senate ways and means committees have decided upon a division of their work for the season. The senate committee will look after the appropriations for the educational and penal institutions and for miscellaneous expenses. The house committee will attend to appropriations for the charitable institutions, the Dodge City soldiers' home and the executive and judicial appropriation bills. Inch of Rain an Hour. — The weather bureau reported an inch of rainfall from 10 until 11 o'clock at Wichita the other night. The downtown streets were flooded, and for a time there was considerable excitement over the report that the Arkansas river was out of its banks. The storm came just as the theaters were out, and men were obliged to carry women to carriages, wading through a foot or more of water as they did so. Influenza Epidemic in Allen. Iola veterinaries say that an epidemic of influenza is prevalent among the horses in that community. The calls have come to the doctors in such numbers that they can hardly attend to them. The malady is far from fatal, but incapacitates the horses for work for several days. The epidemic of glanders raging in different parts of the state has not found its way to this vicinity as yet. Dayhoff Sued For $12,000.—Suit for $12,000 damages has been filed in the District Court at Topeka against I. L. Dayhoff, the retiring state superintendent of public instruction, by Mrs. Ella G. Burton. The suit is the result of an article published recently in the Kansas Educator in which Mrs. Burton's character was attacked and for which Mrs. Burton says that Dayhoff was responsible. The petition states that the article was "defamatory and libellous." Ready to Water More Farms. — The annual report of the secretary of the Garden City Irrigation Association shows that the association has done a great deal in the past year to increase the irrigable area of Finney county. During the past year the company has extended the ditch 5 miles farther west and installed a new heal gate. This change makes it possible to irrigate between five and six thousand acres of land that prior to this time was not under any ditch. In One Pulpit 25 Years. — The Presbyterian church of Concordia recently concluded a two days' celebration of the silver anniversary of the pastor, Rev. Horace Bushnell. D. D., who came there and was installed on January 11, 1882, and has served uninterruptedly since. During the meeting a pleasant surprise was given the pastor in the shape of a purse of $1,000 with which to take a trip to Europe and the Holy land, a trip he has often expressed a desire to make, but which his financial circumstances would not admit. Dr. Bushnell is past his 70th year, and has been a minister since 1863. The church here was organized in 1871. 1 No Changes in 25 Years. — One of the interesting characters about the state house recently was Dr. J. N. Venard, of Ness City. Dr. Venard was a member of the house of representatives a quarter of a century ago, and the same district is now represented by his son-in-law, O. L. Lennen. Dr. Venard says there has been little changes in Kansas legislatures in twenty-five years. Pigs For "Pink" Smith.—"Pink" Smith, a convict fom Logan county, O. T., was released from the state penitentiary and in addition to his transportation and usual prison suit, Mr. Smith took with him a present from the warden in the form of a pair of white pigs. Smith arrived two years ago to serve a sentence for manslaughter. He was put in charge of the 200 hogs on the prison farm and has only spent eight nights altogether within the walls, being treated as a trusty and sleeping in a little farm house. The pigs were given him as a token of esteem for his splendid management of the prison swine herd. Found Dead in His Bed.—James H. Tyner, of Concordia, aged 70 years, was found dead in his bed. Death resulted from heart disease.5 Alleged Robber Arrested. — Floyd Landon, a young man wanted for robbing the postoffice at Seneca, Neb., was arrested at Horton by Deputy Marshal Wilkinson. With an accomplice he is charged with burglaring the Seneca postoffice last May. He escaped from the jail at that town after the grand jury had indicted him. He was taken back for trial. INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION SOUTHERN PACIFIC UNION PACIFIC ILLINOIS CENTRAL C. M. C. ST. PAUL ST. PAUL REPUBLIC. BRITISH NOT CIVIL American Refugees Arriving From Kingston, Charge Officials There with Gross Neglect. REFUSED AMERICAN HELP Rear Admiral Davis' Mission of Mercy to Jamia Crawford to Sudden ... Close by the Action of the British Government. New York, Jan. 23.—American refugees from Kingston, Jamaica, arriving here Tuesday on board the steamer Prinz Eitel Friedrich which sailed from the stricken city on Thursday afternoon last, the third day after the earthquake, were unanimous in denouncing what they termed the "inactivity and utter inefficiency" of the English authorities on the island during the first days following the disaster. For three days, they sald, there was no semblance of order and nothing definite done in the matter of relieving the sufferings of many of the wounded. It was asserted that men and women who sought shelter on board the British steamship Port Kingston, which was chartered for Sir Alfred Jones' party from England, were put ashore and that the plea of the American refugees that the women of their party be allowed at least the privilege of sleeping on the open decks of the Port Kingston was refused "with great incivility." The wounded who had been taken on board the same steamer for an asylum were put ashore the day following the earthquake, Tuesday, and were left on the railway wharf until cared for by the American naval authorities arrived on Thursday. The Prinz Eitel's passengers told of the great relief the arrival of the American squadron brought to the terror-stricken people and were amazed to hear of the rupture which had occurred between Governor Swettenham and Admiral Davis. The protest of the American refugees against the conduct and behavior of certain officials on the island, was voiced at a mass meeting held on board the Prinz Eitel Friedrich Monday when resolutions were adopted and addressed to the general public an the international press. London, Jan, 18.—It is now known that the death list from the Kingston earthquake certainly will exceed 500 persons and may even reach 1,000 and that large numbers have been incapacitated by their injuries. The city is a heap of ruins. According to information received Thursday the Kingston horror is growing. Communication with the island is partially restored, and every message that comes brings fresh details of the appalling catastrophe. The number of dead is placed variously at from 500 to 1,200 and the number of injured runs into the thousands. Ten thousand people are said to be homeless. The danger of famine has increased and with it stands the spectre of pestilence. There is urgent need of supplies of all kinds and energetic efforts are being made in this country and in England to send aid. The business section of the city has been wiped out and the estimates of the damage range from $10,000,000 to $25,000,000. The ships in the harbor are crowded with injured people, and the death list is being increased daily. Corpses lie in the streets or are being thrown into trenches. Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 22.—Rear Admiral' Davis' mission of mercy to stricken Kingston came to an abrupt and painful conclusion in consequence of Gov. Swettenham's objection to the presence of American sailors engaged in the work of clearing the streets, guarding property, and suc- coining the wounded and slick, culminating in a letter to the admiral peremptorily requesting him to reembark all parties which had been landed. Admiral Davis was greatly shocked and pained, and paid a formal visit to Gov. Swettenham Saturday informing him that the United States battleships Missouri and Indiana and the gunboat Yankton would sail Saturday afternoon. To the Associated Press Admiral Davis said that immediate compliance with Gov. Swettenham's request was the only course consistent with the dignity of the United States. The friction between the governor and the admiral began with the arrival of the American warships, when the governor objected to the firing of a salute in his honor on the ground that the citizens might mistake the firing for a new earthquake. He also declared there was no necessity for American aid—that his government was fully able to preserve order, tend the wounded and succor the homeless. Rear Admiral Davis, however, landed parties of blue jackets, who patrolled the streets, cleared the debris, razed ruins, attended many of the wounded and won the highest praise from citizens and military officers for excellent work. Reir Admiral Davis told the Associated Press he deeply regretted the governor's attitude. He was still convinced that the governor was unequal to the task of relieving distress—that this was evident from the fact that the American field hospital had tended many sick and wounded and others were constantly arriving, having been unable to gain admission to the government hospital. Governor Swettenham's attitude toward a friendly American officers assistance is greatly deplored by many of the residents of Kingston, some of them even suggesting that the governor be petitioned to resign. His action is construed by some as inspired by resentment of President Roosevelt's attitude toward Jamaican negroes on the Panama canal. New York, Jan. 22.—The mayor of Kingston, Jamaica, in his official capacity, Monday appealed to the generosity of the American people on behalf of the earthquake sufferers. In a cablegram to Mayor McClellan of this city, Mayor Tait of Kingston asked for money and building materials which he added were urgently needed. London, Jan. 23.—The incident rising from the exchange of letters at Kingston between Governor Swettenham and Rear Admiral Davis now appears to be entering the waiting stage as the government, after doing all possible in the absence of advice from the governor of Jamaica, is obliged to defer further action until he reports. Nitric Acid from Atmosphere. London, Jan. 23. — Professor Sir William Crookes, as a result of his own researches and experiments conducted by Profs. Krowalski and Moscki of Fribourg university, Switzerland, has discovered a process of extracting nitric acid from the atmosphere. The announcement is made by the Chronicle, which adds that the process is available for commercial, industrial and agricultural purposes, and that it will revolutionize the nitrate industry and the world's food problem. Royce's Newspaper Burned Out. Phillipsburg, Kan., Jan. 23.—Three large business houses located in the old bank block were destroyed by fire Monday night. The flames started in the dry goods store of Gebhart & Son and in addition consumed the printing plant of the Dispatch owned by J. Q. Royce, state bank commissioner. A real estate office, a billiard parlor, a dental office and the Odd Fellows lodge room were also burned. The loss is $100,000. The origin of the fire is unknown.

The reason of the difference in the blood unto God (Jas. 5:4; Rev. 6:10). Christ's blood speaketh better things, or louder than the blood of Abel (Heb. 12:29). Comment and Suggestive Thought. "The picture of Cain and Abel portrays how from the first opposition has subsisted between good and evil, between faith and self-will, between obedience and lawlessness. The two brothers brought up in the same family, became the types, the one of sin, the other of righteousness."—Ryle. The Two Sacrifices, True and False Worship.—V. 3. "In process of time." An indefinite note of time. It probably was many years. "Cain brought the fruit of the ground." The products of his business, as was natural and proper. "An offering unto the Lord," Jehovah, who had made himself known in the garden, and probably since. V. 4. "And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock." "Either the first born, which God afterwards demanded (Ex. 13:12), or the choicest and best (Job 18:13)."—Cook. "And the fat thereof." Literally, the fatness of them, i. e., the fattest of the firstlings, the best he had, or, as Dillmann, "their fat pieces," the part to be burned. "The Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering." "It is impossible to know in what way the Lord showed his favor, but it was, in any case, a visible sign of satisfaction."—Keil. The Anger of Calin. (1) It was against his brother. (2) It was without good cause. (3) It it grew out of envy and jealousy. (4) It was intensified by his own consciousness of being in the wrong, and the desire to quiet his conscience by blaming others. (5) It was against God. (6) It was violent, ill-tempered, beyond the control of reason. (7) It was the feeling of hatred in the wicked toward those who are better because they are a continual reproof. V. 8. "And Cain talked with Abel and his brother." "Hebrew," And Cain said unto Abel his brother," after which there is, in many of the Hebrew copies, a blank space left, as if something had been omitted."—Bush. He talked over the matter with his brother. He went on in familiar intercourse with him, and it was during one of these conversations that his anger was again inflamed. Others represent Cain as asking his brother to go away from the home into a lonely field for the purpose of doing evil to him. "Cain . . . slew him." Whether he intended to kill, or struck a blow in anger, and the result was more than he expected, we do not know. Am I My Brother's Keeper?-Only Cain-like men ask Cain's question. We all are our brother's keepers. God has made the circles of family, friendship, acquaintance, race, humanity, so that each of us has an influence in them, and we are responsible for that influence. No one lives or dies to himself. And God gives us wealth, position, intellect, not for ourselves alone, but that we may be better keepers of our brother. (1) We are keepers of our brothers, not by dictating to them, but by brotherly love; (2) by helping them, as the good Samaritan, or as the righteous in Matt. 25:31:46; (3) by considering their welfare in all our business relations; (4) by using every influence for their good, doing to others in all relations "as we would that they should do unto us." The Voice of Abel Still Heard.—"The blood that speaketh better things than that of Abel" (Heb. 12:24). "He being dead yet speaketh" (Heb. 11:4). Here is a fine picture of Abel's work. He is living and speaking down all the centuries one long triumphal march, scattering blessed gems of truth to all ages, like Prince Siddartha in his father's dream in The Light of Asia. Cain's punishment consisted (1) in the strengthening of his evil character. He added lying and selfishness to murder.

The only explanation of the difference between Cain and Abel lies in their freedom of choice. One chose the way of life, the other the way of death. Byron in his Cain, pictures him as tempted by Lucifer to unbelief and rebellion against God's providence. "Whoseover hateth his brother is, murderer" (I. John 2:15).

The house is 24 six inches wide and 44 feet long, about measuring the porch. A disive feature is the front hall with pretty open winding stairway with closet underneath for hats and ties, and three doorways which give access to three different rooms—an usual feature in house construction. course there are many long, windhalls that reach away back and communicate everywhere, but they are not economical of room. In this the hall occupies very little space, but the convenience and artifice effect is much greater than most rooms, although others may be much more pretentious. It is a great thing building to utilize space to the best advantage. Measurements are arubly. In a given ground space the must be recognized that the enment of one room means that next one must be smaller. This is large enough for all practical poses and it leaves plenty of room for the parlor, dining room and living room. the parlor is the smallest of the seats and lightly so. Pretenders are a going out of date. Their prin- al use has been for weddings and ceremonies, and the way some of them furnished leaves a funeral flavor the time.

The shape plan of this room offers itself way to artistic decoration. The por- openings in fact make the hall, or sitting room almost like room. Another interesting feature of this is the side entrance to the sitting room. This is the most sociable room the house. Taken in connection with the dining room it offers a very portable proposition, the doors windows being carefully placed light and ventilation; and the portions are such that the furni- tures is easily arranged to look right. It is also a back entrance to the sitting room opening onto the back ```markdown ``` This back porch, communicating with the main part of the house, is almost part of the sitting room in summer time. A small table of books and a sewing machine is often found in just such places during the warm months. It is much better to read or sew in the open air when conditions are favorable. If the side porch looks to the north or east it is sure to be comfortable in the afternoon. If it faces the south a vine trained up to ward off the direct rays of the sun will make it almost as comfortable. SECOND FLOOR PLAN. Every side porch should have a vine climbing to the caves for appearance if nothing else, but the direction should determine whether it be a heavy, broad-leafed vine for shade, or one of the lighter, prettier vines for effect. There are a great many climbers that may be used for this purpose, and it is easy to select one suitable to the climate and to the needs of the THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM situation. Every house could be improved by the addition of a vine somewhere, but the indiscriminate planting of any one kind of climber should be discouraged. Such vines as the Dutchman's pipe are very suitable for verandas where deep shade is an object, because the leaves are large and heavy. It is impossible for the sun to penetrate through a healthy growth of Dutchman's pipe vine leaves. The beauty of this vine is not in the blossom. The blossom is odd and shaped like a Dutch pipe, but it is inconspicuous. The heavy foliage is the chief attraction of the Dutchman's pipe vine. For front verandas nothing can be prettier than the light Madeira vine, and English ivy where the winters are not too severe. There are a great many annuals that make a quick growth for screens, but they are not well calculated for the front of the house. Vines that climb to the roof, leaving stalks bare and a bunch of foliage at the top should be avoided on the front porch. This is a peculiarity of the Virginia creeper, but it may be corrected by proper pruning. In selecting a house plan the direction in which the house faces must be taken into consideration. Any frontage is good if the house is built to suit. It is just as easy to select a plan with the kitchen on one side as to have it directly in the back. The difference in comfort, extending over a number of years, will well repay a little careful consideration on this point. There are a great many things to consider, and this is one of the most important but one that often is overlooked. By all means build a good suitable kitchen and give the good wife a chance to enjoy her working hours. The First Banknotes According to Chinese chroniclers banknotes were current in China 2697 B.

Possibly she felt my gaze, for she turned. And her face was worthy of her figure. Two bright blue eyes met mine for an instant before their owner walked on. I stood still. I was in love with that girl, whom ten seconds before I had never seen. I gazed after her till she was out of sight. Then I gazed at the sacred spot on the pavement where she had stood, and behold, there lay a little purse. I picked it up reverently and hastened after her; but she was lost in the throng of Broadway. taken; but Alice laughed and declared that she wea to guard her pocket if Ma They went shopping, and on putting her purse it it had been there for f before Mabel, from pure chief, took it up unperce and put it in her own girls became separated and the purse must have Mabel's pocket when ye Alice did not miss it till in your hand; and then- I reached Twenty-third street and turned and retraced my steps, and presently I saw the girl again. She was gazing into another shop window. I picked my way delicately through the feminine crowd. My arm brushed hers, and the blood rushed from my heart to my ears. She turned. Our eyes met. And, by all the saints in heaven, her eyes were brown! It was not she, but some other girl dressed exactly like her. My hand fell from my hat, and I gasped an apolgyc. I was wriggling away, when a hand grasped my wrist and tried to wrest the purse from me. I turned and beheld a large man in ill-fitting clothes. "Ah, would you?" he said. "Quiet!" He dug his knuckles into the back of my hand. I restrained a fierce desire to inflict similar treatment on his countenance, and said: "Let go, you ass! Can't you see I'm not a pick-pocket? I picked up this purse five minutes ago, and—" "Yes, I've heard all that before, several times; I don't want to hear it again. Have you lost your purse, miss?" The girl with the brown eyes searched for her pocket, found it, and then felt in it. "Yes, I have!" she exclaimed. I broke into a cold perspiration. Wrenching my wrist free I held out the purse. "But this is not your purse." "But it is. Oh, you bad, wicked man! I felt you take it!" This settled the matter. I was marched off between two policemen. The girl and the detective went in a cab. When brought before the magistrate she made a pretense of 'being dissolved in tears, and pathetically be sought the authorities to release me. But the magistrate—a white-haired, fatherly old gentleman—soothingly explained to her how necessary it was for the protection of honest people that rogues should be punished. At length this wretched woman, committing perjury for the sake of a paltry purse, suffered the cath to be administered and swore the purse was hers. "Silence, prisoner," said the fatherly magistrate—still fatherly, but in a different way; "you will not mend matters by blasphemy. A month. Take him away." I was taken away to a cell. In this impolite retirement I spent the seven most hideous days and nights of my life. But on the eighth day came release. A warden entered my cell and with more respect than I had yet received in the prison, told me that my innocence had been discovered and that I had been pardoned for the offense I had not committed. My good name and my clothes having been restored to me, I was requested—a refreshing change from being ordered—to step into a private room. Here I found three ladies—a majestic matron, the girl with the brown eyes who had procured me a week's living free of expense, and marvelous to relate, the girl with the blue eyes, with whom I was still in love. Both girls were, except for their eyes, exactly alike. Twins, I began to see. The girl with the brown eyes had tears in them. The girl with the blue eyes had her handkerchief to her face. But this, she has since informed me, was because the humor of the affair had just struck her. She was hiding what might have seemed to me indecent mirth. The matron said gravely: "Sir, an awful wrong has been done to you, for which I question whether we can make adequate amends. I can, however, express my most deep and sincere regret. But before I endeavor to explain, permit me to introduce myself. I am Mrs. Alexander Featherstone, and these are my daughters, Mabel and Alice." "Pardon me, Mrs. Featherstone, "I said, "I have already had the honor of an introduction to Miss Alice Featherstone, and the result of the introduction was such that, having no natural taste for penal servitude, I would rather not pursue the acquaintance." "Your anger is just, Mr. Felix. But you will at least permit me to explain. On the day on which this awful thing happened my daughters wore new dresses exactly alike." "Ah, that explains it. I see now. Doubtless that young lady in the fullness of her heart was desirous that others should share her good fortune. I too, had a new dress on the day in question." Miss Mabel Featherstone put her handkerchief to her face again. Mrs. Featherstone bit her lip but proceeded. "The dressmaker had made the pockets of these dresses ridiculously shallow. Mabel declared that she would never dare to put anything in an air pocket for fear of having it taken; but Alice laughed at the idea, and declared that she was competent, to guard her pocket if Mabel was not. They went shopping, and Alice insisted on putting her purse in her pocket. It had been there for five minutes before Mabel, from pure love of mischief, took it out unperceived by Alice and put it in her own pocket. The girls became separated on Broadway and the purse must have fallen out of Mabel's pocket when you saw her. Alice did not miss it till she saw it in your hand; and then—what could she think?" "Oh, Mr. Felix," exclaimed Alice, "please forgive me! Mabel and I had a tiff over those wretched pockets, and we did not speak for a whole week till this morning, when she came to make Zerres "I Felt You Take it!" It up. To my horror she presented me with another purse in place of the one she had loss, and then I saw what a fearful thing I had done." There was a short silence. And then I laughed, heartily and long. I dined with the Featherstones that evening. And—er—well, to put the matter in a nutshell, my wife has blue eyes, clear and bright, like glimpses of heaven. To some extent I deserve my Rachel. Did I not serve seven days for her? Hen That Will Not Scratch and Pig That Never Runs Away. It may have escaped the attention of the people, but it is nevertheless a fact that the last summer has been extraordinarily fruitful in inventions, says Judge. A farmer in New Egypt, N. J., applying the methods of Wizard Burbank to the poultry yard, has evolved a scratchless hen which promises to revolutionize fancy gardening. The New Egypt hen is set up on the usual hen plan, with this difference: One leg is two inches shorter than the other. By reason of this shortage one side of the hen goes at slower pace than the other, which has the result of a curvature in her locomotion. In other words, this hen, starting for the freshly seeded garden in a direct line, as hens will, finds herself mysteriously shunted aside. When she thinks she has arrived at the garden she is most mightily mistaken, for she has merely gone the circle and arrived back at her own doorstep. Simple as this idea is and effectual in curbing the nomadic propensities of the hen, the invention has laid dormant in the human brain for all these countless million years. A mere two-inch diversity in the underpinning circularizes the motion of the hen for time and eternity. A man in Pugwash, Me., has hit upon an idea so like that of the New Egypt man that he might almost pass for the same. The pugwash man has succeeded in breeding what he calls the fenceless pig. This is a pig with one eye eliminated, and it is found that the single optic affects the pig just as the short leg affects the hen. Each tends in a circular course and consequently never wanders far from home. The invention is said to be worth millions to the western farmers and herders, doing away entirely with the necessity for fences. One Declined. Many years ago a Philadelphia clothing manufacturer received a contract for making uniforms for the telegraph operators along the line of one of the railroads. In order to measure the operators along the line he sent telegraphs asking them to meet him on the station platforms. He sent this telegraph to the operator at one of the small stations: "Meet me on the arrival of the 2:15 p. m. train. Wear nothing but shirt and trousers." At the appointed time he reached this station and inquired for the operator. He saw a young woman looking embarrassed. She said, in answer to his inquiry: "I am the telegraph operator and am here in response to your summons; but I decline to comply with your instructions as to apparel."—Boston Post. BRITISH NOT CIVIL American Refugees Arriving From Kingston, Charge Officials There with Gross Neglect. REFUSED AMERICAN HELP Rear Admiral Davis' Mission of Mercy to Jamaica Brought to Sudden Close by the Action of the British Governor. New York, Jan. 23.—American refugees from Kingston, Jamaica, arriving here Tuesday on board the steamer Prinz Eitel Friedrich which sailed from the stricken city on Thursday afternoon last, the third day after the earthquake, were unanimous in condemning what they termed the "inactivity and utter inefficiency" of the English authorities on the island during the first days following the disaster. For three days, they said, there was no rembalance of order and nothing definite done in the matter of relieving the sufferings of many of the wounded. It was asserted that men and women who sought shelter on board the British steamship Port Kingston, which was chartered for Sir Alfred Jones' party from England, were put ashore and that the plea of the American re of the Englis talked-on bone when tested diplomatic phi Therefore, ment and co PAILWAY TO GRANSE BULK HOLE PORT ROYAL PORT CHARLES PALMWAY TO SANSETH TOWN ROAD TO SANSETH TOWN PALMWAY KINGSTON TOWER DUNGE STREET BANK HOTEL BULK HOLE KINGSTON HARBOR PORT ROYAL PORT CHARLES THE POINT FLUM POINT fugues that the women of their party be allowed at least the privilege of sleeping on the open decks of the Port Kingston was refused "with great incivility."

The Prinz Eitel's passengers told of the great relief the arrival of the American squadron brought to the terror-stricken people and were amazed to hear of the rupture which had occurred between Governor Swettenham and Admiral Davis. The protest of the American refugees against the conduct and behavior of certain officials on the island, was voiced at a mass meeting held on board the Prinz Eitel Friedrich Monday when resolutions were adopted and addressed to the general public an the international press. "We, herewith, utter emphatic condemnation of the conduct and behavior in that period of certain officials of rank, specifically, Captain Parsons, commander of the British steamship Port Kingston, lying in the harbor of Kingston, and aboard which was Sir Alfred Jones, his superior and other officials, basing our contentions on the following counts: "First. That Captain Parsons declined to furnish food for one meal to the small number of Germans, led by Captain Richard Vahsel, Hamburg American line, who prevented four docks from burning on the night of the 14th, among the Port Kingston's own wharf. "Second. That such American and other refugees as the small boats manned by Captain Vahsel and others, gathered and logged on Monday on board the Port Kingston were summarily ordered ashore at 4 p.m. Tuesday to make room for English refugees, though women and children tearfully pleaded that they had no food nor clothing on shore.

London, Jan. 23.—The incident rising from the exchange of letters at Kingston between Governor Swettenham and Rear Admiral Davis now appears to be entering the waiting stage as the government, after doing all possible in the absence of advices from the governor of Jamaica, is obliged to defer further acton until he reports.

Mrs. Smith had been sick for several months and during the past few weeks her condition has been such that her husband gave up his employment and came home to watch at her bedside where he faithfully remained until the end. For several days her life had been hanging by the merest thread and though her death is sad it was not wholly unexpected by those who knew her condition. Mrs. Smith was a consistent, devout Christian worker of the St. Paul's A. M. E. church, and was a resident of Wichita for a number of years. Mrs. Fannie A. Smith was formerly Miss Fannie A. Trotter and was born in Grand Gulf, Miss., August 10, 1836, and died in Wichita, Kan., January 23, 1907, and was, therefore, 70 years, 5 months and 13 days old at her death. With her mother, sister, and brother she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she attended the public schools and later Oberlin College. She taught school at Pomeroy, Ohio, and removed to Pittsburg, Pa., where she taught; and also at Allegheny, Pa. She met Robt. E. Smith and was married to him Sept. 10, 1873, by Dudly E. Asbury. With her husband came to Wichita 19 years ago, where they have since resided. She leaves no relatives except a faithful and loving husband. Funeral services held at the A. M. E. church Friday at 2 p. m. Rev. J. F. C. Taylor, pastor, officiating. Nolley's Grand Rapids Furniture PRICES TO PLEASE ALL Come early and get your selection before the rush. Rockers $1.25 up.

SHOULD BE CAREFUL The very frequent changes in the weather are not the most conducive to good health and all the people should bevery careful of themselves.

There is no longer any special novelty in serving a Welsh rabbit on a piping hot mince pie, as a substitute for toast. For years the cooks at the old chop houses in New York had been serving a dish that they called a "slip on," and this was nothing less than melted cheese poured over hot mince pie, and experts who had systematically tested the effects of this combination did not hesitate to affirm that the presence of the cheese aided rather than deterred the processes of digestion. To season this cheese, therefore, was but a short step in the direction of culinary eccentricity, novel as it seemed. A writer in the Bohemian, describing some of the Welsh rabbits perpetuated by well-known people, says that Walter McDougall, the cartoonist, is responsible for one which is "seemingly irrational." Mr. McDougall takes either a haddock, a small cod or a bluefish and stuffs it with a delicious dressing composed of bread crumbs, minced onions and finely chopped friend bacon, moistened with melted butter and seasoned with salt, pepper and summer savory. Carefully stuffed and properly sewed the fish is baked in a pan with a little water, several bits of butter being scattered over it. During the process of cooking it is basted frequently and when it is done and the thread removed it is served with a Welsh rabbit poured over it. The late John Chamberlin once confided to Miss May Irwin that his success as a rabbit maker was due to the fact that after he had grated his cheese into a bowl he added all the other ingredients—the butter, mustard, pepper, paprika and two tablespoonfuls of cream to each person to be served—rubbing them all smooth, or to a uniform paste, before transferring the mixture to the saucepan in which it was to be melted. Morgan Robertson, the novelist, is the inventor of two methods of making a rabbit, but when he makes a Welch rabbit to please his own palate he takes the proper quantity of rich New York state cream cheese and breaks it directly into stale ale, letting them heat up together over the fire. The proper proportions are half a cupful of ale to each half pound of cheese, and to each half cupful of the ale a saltspoonful of soda is added before the process of heating is begun. While the cheese is dissolving it is stirred constantly and when the proper consistency is reached it is poured over the toast. Mayonnaise Dressing. As oil is the expensive ingredient in making salads, it is well to buy it in bulk instead of bottles; at any Italian grocery it comes in tins at 65 cents a quart. As the largest size bottles hold only one short pint, this is a great saving. This is a good rule for making mayonnaise: Put the oil on ice until cold; beat one yolk of an egg in a cold bowl until it is light and foamy; then put in the oil, a drop at a time, beating until it is thick; thin with a very little vinegar, and begin dropping the oil again; when there is enough and it is thick, it is done; add salt and a little cayenne.-Harper's Bazar. Chocolate Pie. A coffee cup and a cup and a half of sugar, one tablespoon of butter, not melted, the yolks of three eggs, one cup of sweet milk, two coffee cups of flour, one teaspoon of cream of tartar, one-half teaspoon of soda. Mixture for filling—Whites of three eggs beaten stiff, then add one and one-half coffee cups of sugar, three teaspoons of grated chocolate or cocoa, one teaspoon of lemon or vanilla; beat altogether and spread between layers while the cake is hot. Fried Mush. Make mush with white meal, and the night before if wanted for breakfast; make very stiff; put in a dish to cool that can easily be sliced from; cut up in slices, roll in an egg, beaten, then cracker crumbs, or shredded wheat crumbs, and fry in hot lard, same as doughnuts; use melted sugar or maple sugar on it; very nice. Apple Sauce Cake. One cup sugar, one-half cup shortening, one-half teaspoon cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, one-half teaspoon salt, one cup sour apple sauce. Dissolve one teaspoon soda, in a little hot water and beat in apple sauce. Stir in mixture, add two cups flour, one-half cup raisins. Bake 45 minutes. Stuffed Bananas. Cut off one-quarter of the ends of a banana. Remove the pulp and press through a sieve. Add to each cupful the juice of half a lemon and two tablespoonfuls of fine sugar; whip a cupful of cream; fill shells; set on ice; serve with cake.

Remarkable Excuse Put Forward by French Bigamist. At Versailles, France, recently a baker was tried’on a charge of polys- amy, having married five women, who Are living and undivorced. ‘The jentagaiist’s defense was that be ‘had not married the women; they had married him. When they proposed che had not the courage to say no. Neither mouey nor love, he said, had prompted his nuptiais; he was the victim of the stronger wills of his -successive spouses. Of the five wives three appeared as witnesses, but did ‘not prosecute, saying that their com- ‘0a husband was a toper ot whom iey were glad to get rid. He was acquitted—on what ground does not appear. As all the years in which the multipfex husband took wives were leap years except 1881, in which {t‘would “scem that in four out of the five eases the women had the right to propose. But the man had the right, even in the leap years, to decline, and it was up to him ¢ least to explain to his fair suitors vat he was engaged. To establish the prin- seiple that a man is not responstole tor the number of his wives urless he himself does the courting, would be plainly against public policy.

He said she ‘was teething, as soon as the teeth ‘were through she would be all right. ‘But she still srew worse. Doctor No, 3 said it was eczema, By this time she was nothing but a yellow, sgreenish sore, Well, he said he could ‘help her, so we let him try it about ‘a week. Ono morning we discovered ‘a little yellow pimple on one of ‘her eyes. Of course we ‘phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and Jooked her over, and said that he could not do anything more, for hier, that we had better take her ‘to some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer, So we went to Oswego to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could ihelp it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the game, only he charged $10 more than doctor No. 4.

WAS PROPOSED BY FORAKER Does Not Question Authority or Le- gality of President's Action but Calls for the Facts in ‘the oun: Washingion, Jan. 22.—An agree ment was reached Monday by repub- lican senators on a substitute resolu- tion on the Brownsville question and it is asserted it will receive the un- animous vote of the majority party. Senator Foraker did not give his consent to the copromise until Mon- day but inasmuch as it is not incon- sistent with the position he has pre- viously taken he finally agreed to withdraw his objection. He was first given assurances however, that the resolution will be supported by Senator Lodge and the unanimous strength of the republicans in the senate. Senator Foraker at the conclusion pf routine morning business intro- duced the Brownsville compromise resolution. It reads as follows: “Resolved that without question ing the legality or justiice of any act of the president in relation there- , the committee on military affairs is hereby authorized and directed by sub-committee or otherwise, to take and have printed testiony for the pur- pose of ascertaining all the facts with reference to or comnected with the affray at Brownsvilie, Texas, on the night of August 13-14, 1906, Said com- mittee is authorized to send for per- sons and papers, to administer oaths, to sit during sessions, or recess of the senate, and if deemed advisable, at Brownsville or elsewhere, the ex- penses of the investigation to be paid from the contingent funds of the sen- ate.” In presenting his resolution, Mr, Foraker said that he had amended his original provision so as to make it meet with the yiew of his collea- gues and he added that the modifica- tion now presented was for the same purpose, He believed that the pres- ent change did not in.any way alter the effect of is previous resolution or narrow the scope of the proposed inquiry, Senator Blackburn asserted that the modified resolution was amply satis- deotoee 40 hin.

Washington, Jan., 23—The Senate Tuesday passed the compromise For- aker resolution authorizing the com- mittee on military affairs to investi- gate the facts of the aflrey at Browns- ville, on the uights of August 13 and 14, Tast, without questioning the legal- ity or justive of any oct of the Pres- ident in relation to or in connection with that affray.” ‘The action came af- ter the subject had been under eonsider- ation almost daily since the first day of the present session of Congress and eyery phase of the question hail been discussed on all sides.

LAMB STEW WITH DUMPLINGS. Economical, Simple and Delicious Disk For Dinner. Stewing is, without question, the most economical and simplest mode of cooking: meats, says the Woman's Home Companion. Meat which’ is not capable of being satisfactorily pre- pared by other processes of cooking is most acceptable when dealt with in this way. Stews are very common among the so-called working classes of Europe, and oftentimes different kinds of meat enter into their com- position, Let us make ours of but one kind, namely, Lamb. Buy three pounds of lamb cut from the forequarters. Wipe meat with a piece of cheese cloth wrung out of cold water, remove superfluous fat and the meat in one-and-one-alf-inch cubes. Put in a graniteware kettle, cover with boiling water, bring gradu- ally to the boiling point and let sim- mer (that means, you know, to let boil very, very slowly) until meat is tender, the time required being about two hours, After the first hour of the cooking add one small onion, from which the skin has been removed, then thinly sliced, and half a cupful each of carrot and turnip cut in half- inch cubes. Remember that the best flavor and the brightest color of a car- rot lies very near the skin; therefore, carrots should be washed and scraped for the cooking, never pared. On the other hand, turnips should be pared after washing. To obtain the cubes of which I write, cut the vegetables in half-ineh slices, then cut the slices in cubes, Wash and pare potatoes, and cut in one-fourth-Ineh slices; there should be three and one-half cupfvls. Cook five minutes in boiling salted water to cover drain and add to stew 15 minutes before serving time to fin- ish the cooking. Melt three table- spoonfuls of butter, add four table- spoonfuls of flour, and stir until well blended; then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, one cupful of the hot liquid in the stew. As soon as the boiling point is reacked pour elowly into the stew. Season with salt and pepper, turn on a hot —platter and surround with dump- lings. Dumplings, when properly made, are light and delicious and perfectly easy of digestion; if improperly made just the reverse is true. Failures ‘some- times occur from not cooking the mix- ture as soon as it is mixed, and again, from cooking the mixture over water ‘that falls below the boiling point. Braising. This fs a particularly good way to treat dry meats like veal, lean beet from the under part of the round or the face of the rump, the shoulder cf mutton, heart, liver, tough fowls, pigeons, or other dry game. The method of braising is like the old: time pot roast, only the braising is far easier in that the water in which it is cooked does not need replenishing, and there is much less danger of the kettle burning dry. In each case the meat is rolled in flour, seasoned with salt, pepper and just a dusting of sugar to assist in the quick browntcs. Then it Is browned in the bottom of a kettle or frying pan, using some of its own fat, drippings or butter, as preferred. After this browning pro- cess it is put into a stew pan or braising kettle, covered with weil flavored soup stock, gravy, or even hot water, with herbs and seasonings, then covered tightly and left to sim- mer gently for several hours. ele: (Cana Sift together one pint of flour, one- half teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, one-half teaspoon soda, one teaspoon cream tartar. Beat one ess, add four tablespoons of sweet milk, and stir into the dry mixture, adding more milk as necessary to make a thick batter. Add two tablespoons of butter (melted) and beat hard. But- ter some baking cups and put in each 4 spoonful of the batter. Add one- half apple eup in quarters, add more batter to cover and two-thirds fill the cup. Steam or baxe 30 minutes and serve with milk or a sauce. Boiled Beets, Old beets require great care in boiling. Four hours’ slow cooking will, as a rule, make them tender. If they are wilted and tough, soak them in cold water over night. Next morn- ing wash, put them into boiling water, and cook slowly. When done remove the skin by rubbing with a towel; cut into thin slices, dish fn a hot dish, dust with salt and pepper and pour over a little melted butter. Those left over may be put in vinegar and used as a garnish for potato or car rot salad. Iniinar eitaas enw ebaitba The shops are showing wool wad- ding for quilts. It comes in sheets two yards wide and two yards and a quarter long, and costs about two dol- lars a yard. The most sanitary way to make these quilts is to cover tiem with cheese cloth, tacking with soft cotton. They are very pretty when dainty shades of cheese cloth are used. ‘The ventilation.with these quilts is as good as with woolen blankets. Hand-Dipped Candies in Favor. Hand-dipped candles have reached the dimensions of a fad, for who in a day when old-time styles and ways are copied to the letter, can counten- ance a molded candie in a colonial stick? ‘The latest fancy of this kind is the hand-dipped tallow candle, flavored with spearmint, which is said to give out a minty fragrance as it burns. The candle has the interesting irregularity of hand-made’ things and is greenish- white in oolor. 4 hal 4 r : i H_ SRDS I?)

Any bodily weakness caused by @ deficiency in the blood can be cured by the use of Dr. Willlams’ Pink Pills because these pills actually make new blood.

I was confined to my .bed for two weeks, At the end of that time I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I felt faint. My heart would flutter and it was difficult for me to breathe at times. Neuralgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and I suffered from rheuma- tism in my shoulders. “Y bad the care of the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told me one day how she had been cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and I decided to try them.

There is talk in England of the pro- posed development of the natural re- sources of the Sudan through scien- tifle~ exploration. Immense forests line the banks of the Blue Nile along its upper reaches, extending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree is met with along that river and also near the Sobat. Along the White Nile the india rubber creeper, a valuable sourec of rubber, abounds. ‘There are large forests in the Bahr-el-Ghazal province and gold has been mined in some of the mountains.
