THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER Chas. L. Davidson For Next Governor of Kansas NINETH YEAR. Chas. L. For Next Gove CHAS. L. DAVIDSON FOR GOVERNOR OF KANSAS. Sedgwick county to a man favors the candidacy of her favored son, Hon. Chas. L. Davidson, for the office of governor of the state of Kansas, and with that vim, push and enthusiasm characteristic of Sedgwick county she will go to the next Republican state convention and ask and receive the nomination of Mr. Davidson for governor. There is one solid comfort in having the backing of Sedgwick county and that is that when she goes after anything she goes to win. And the real good part is they win. Mr. Davidson is pre-eminently the logical and fitted man for the high office for which his fellow townsmen and frinds in the state seek to nominate him, and with his wide scope of business experience with men and affairs will fill the office of governor with honor and credit. The people of Kansas will always feel proud of their chief executive with Chas. L. Davidson as governor. Mr. Davidson is a man who meets every man upon the basis of merit and the worth of the man among the thousands who know him all honor and admire him for his fair and square dealing with his fellow man. Sympathetic, tender-hearted, yet firm and substantial—every man—rewardless to race or color will find in Chas. L. Davidson a man among men and a friend to the worthy. Sedgwick county invites its sister counties to join hands with her in nominating to the office of governor of Kansas Hon. Chas. L. Davidson. Let all join in the unanimous shout "Hip! hip! hip! hurrah for Chas. L. Davidson!" MODELED AFTER TUSKEGEE. Berea College, Lexington, Ky., Plans Negro Industrial School. Lexington, Ky.—Berea College plans a new school for Negroes of the type of Tuskegee and Hampton. Trustees of the college will meet next month to determine its location. It is expected two or three other struggling Negro schools of Kentucky will form a merger with the new enterprise. SR. UNTHANK SEEKS APPOINT MENT. Washington—Dr. T. C. Unthank, colled, of Kansas City, is after a job as consul to a foreign country. He isn't particular where it is, in South America, Haytl or Africa, just so he gets it. He will present his case to President Goosevelt. He will be accompanied by Senator Warner, Bishop Grant and sister of the Treasury Vernon, his three backers. HAS VERNON SKIDOOED? Claim Made That Prof. Vernon Only Knows Certain People Now. WILL IT WORK? It is being whispered over Kansas now that since Prof. W. T. Vernon has secured his appointment in Washington he has no time for the common Negro of his race, and only notices the "high up" colored man. We refuse to believe this without further proof—as it is a well-known fact that it was the friends of Prof. Vernon among the rank and file of his race who secured him this place—and not the high standing-collared smooth-tongued angel of easy street—and we are slow to believe that a man of the caliber of Prof. Vernon would let this job turn his head and cause him to ignore the bridge that carried him over safely. We must all remember that fly time comes every year, at least. Since Prof. Vernon has been lifted up he should not give all his attention to a few—but should pass it around, you see. Undoubtedly a hint to the wise is sufficient. BLACKS WANT EQUAL SHOW. Texas Negroes to Contest for Recognition in Republican Party. Houston, Texas.—Declaring that they have "grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics," representative Negroes from all over Texas gathered in Houston this week to consider ways and means of securing what they consider their "rights" from the Republican party leaders of the state. They call for the meeting was issued by the officials of the Afro-American League of Texas. Delegates have been appointed from nearly all the centers of colored population. In the call it is announced that "the practice of our white Republican brethren in getting together, holding star chamber sessions, selecting candidates and deciding questions, and then joking to the Negroes to furnish the votes, will no longer be submitted to." This is a sample of the "Texas plan" of dealing with the Negro. None of it for us—oh, no. NEGROES MUST WAIT. Can't Eat With Whites at Oklahoma's Inaugural Barbecue. Guthrie, O. T., Nov. 14.—When the barbecue feast is pulled off at Electric park in connection with the inauguration ceremonies here, Saturday, the Negroes of Oklahoma who attend will find themselves facing the first "Jim Crow" regulation in the new state. The dictum is that all persons of dusky hue, except Indians, must wait until all the white people have partaken of the roasted beeves before they will be allowed to eat. They will not, however, be discriminated against in the matter of quantity or quality. They will not be required to gnaw the bones, but will be provided with as good fare as the white people. This solution was worked out after the inauguration committee had considered the problem of how to feed the Negro guests without arousing the Southern blood of a large number of Oklahomaans. And what do you think o' that? Well, well, well; wonder if the committee had not set aside separate air for the "dusky" brethren to breathe at this initial inauguration. What funny things DO happen. DO NOT SELL your household goods, etc., store them with us. NEGRO LASHES TILLMAN. French Compares Senator to Cur Barking at Mastiff. Church, Filled With Negroes, Cheered When He Said White Man Is Kansas City, Mo.—Shrouded in the flowing folds of a bright, new American flag, the pulpit of Allen chapel, African Methodist Ep'scopal church, was the bulwark from which Professor Shelton P. French delivered an address last night in partial answer to the one recently delivered in Convention hall by Senator Benjamin R. Tillman. Professor French is a Negro, the president of Western university and a fluent speaker. The audience was composed of an assemblage of colored people that filled every seat in the house and broke into loud applause at the conclusion of the address. The address began with a brief recital of the history of the colored race in America and the sufferings and indignities heaped upon it up to the time of the Civil War. "These were to be expected under the conditions that then existed," the speaker said, "but the Negro is no longer the inferior being that he was then. What education and progress he has had a chance to acquire and make, he has taken advantage of and with more opportunities his condition would have been proportionately better. It is not his fault, but the fault of a certain class of his white brethren, with whom the Almighty created him equal, that he has not attained to more. "When the war for the abolition of slavery was declared," said Professor French, "we saw the colored youth shoulder his musket and march away shoulder to shoulder with his white brother; and we saw him return crippled and maimed but without the other's honor and glory. We do not cry nor complain, but we do demand justice. We do not believe the Negro is any better than the white man, but we do insist that he is just as good. "It was said before the Negro had acquired any education that his ignorance was what was the matter with him, and now that he has educated himself to some extent they say that education unfits him for the place they have made for him in the body politic. "The mystery is why the white man pretends to be the black man's enemy in public but in private cannot get close enough to him. As I look upon the different shades of color in this congregation I cannot but be aware that this race is a living monument to the passion and sin of the white man. He hated the Negro in the war because he was a better soldier and a better fighter and because he beat him, man to man. It has occurred to me that jealousy is the cause of the white man's hatred for the Negro, jealousy because the black man is striving to do something and be something. He is jealous of our achievements and because we are succeeding against adverse circumstances where he would fail. Did you ever see a stately mastiff walking down the street with a pack of yelping, snapping terriers at his heels to which he paid not the slightest attention? Here you have an illustration of the Negro race of this country, with such men as Tillman and others of his ilk representing the little dogs. We are too busy progressing to pay and attention to such little curs barking at our heels, and while hope and faith hold out we shall keep marching on." G. N. Grisham, principal of the Lincoln high school, spoke of the early struggles of the Negro race for a recognition of its rights and said that the lynchings and the burnings at the stake, even up to the present day, were working out the salvation of the race even as the deaths of other martyrs in other causes had done. "Among other things," he said, "we have got to learn the lesson of making alliances with the men and women of today by marriage and when our rights are attacked to rise in defense of them. Make the cause of every un- Continued on page 3. column 5 3y M. F. SAMMONS pryright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) John Dakin had a spine in his spine and a large manusic a his pocket when he landed in Brownsville to lecture for the village library. Dakin was a cynic, a bachelor, a scientist and an LL. D. He was a cynic because he had eaten many meals in country hotels, a bachelor because he had met many formal women, a scientist and an LL. D. because he found it convenient and profitable. A delegation from Brownsville's Shakespearean society met him at the depot with starched bonnets, prim countenances and literary quotations. "There's a case of smallpox in the only hotel in the village," said the president of the society, bowing like an aculeate asking for a blessing. "You'll have to go to Mother Clark's, Mr. Dakin." The announcement galled Dakin's LL. D. and aggravated the chill in his spine. "Really, ladies," said he, "I am overwhelmed at this cheerful greeting, but I merely stopped off to make the announcement that I cannot lecture to-night. I feel ill, unable to speak, nervous and despondent. Otherwise I am all right, only I have a desperate cold. I must return to my home on the next train." "There isn't any next train," said the delegation with a chorus effect that escaped Dakin's appreciation. "You'll have to dally 'til morning." With a sweeping bow, illuminative of sarcasm rather than of chivalry, Dakin dallied. The delegation led him to the domicile of Mother Clark, and turned him over to a rosy-checked, bright-eyed little woman, who seemed to know more about tea than Tacitus, about soup than Shakespeare. "Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar," warned the president of the society to Mother Clark in a whisper so dominant that Dakin could not escape it. "She ain't initiated with us," a sister of the society explained, dropping her voice towards Dakin and including her head towards Mother Clark. "So don't mind her if she doesn't use aphorisms." "I shall try to endure their absence until you good people return to escort me to the lecture hall," said Dakin; "for the very air of the place has inspired me to do my utmost not to disappoint the good people of this village to-night." "Oh, we ain't a-going to leave you in no rude hands," said the sister, cheerfully. "We're a-goin' to have supper with you." Dakin went to his room with his manuscript, his chilly spine and a faint feeling around his heart. "Mother Clark has a countenance worthy of the title she bears," he mused as he set his back against the warm woven pipe that ran through the room. "A kind face," he mused, gazing absently into the cold atmosphere that had settled upon Brownsville like death upon a lost lamb. For a long time he gazed at the bleak hills, at the gray skies, at the dreary horizon reaching from earth to heaven like a symbol of mourning for lost loves, absent hopes, and dead joys. "This is a devil of a life," he said, finally, reaching one hand for where a pain caught him like a knife thrust in his back. "I guess I've got her," he concluded. "The grip's the grip, no matter where it grips us." Half an hour later Mother Clark, rapping on Dakin's door to tell him supper awaited his coming, heard groans that made her blood run cold. "I hope it isn't his lecture," she murmured timidly. "It's more like his Never Happy Because a Little Something Is Always Wrong. How many people go through life deluded with the conviction that if they could only get a little more money, get into a little more comfortable position, own a little better home, or if they could only get over the particular trouble that is annoying them at the time, they would be happy! A know a map who had a very hard liver," she reflected as she listened anew. Not receiving an answer, she made bold to open the door and enter the room. "I've got her," Dakin cried, glaring wildly into her eyes. "The grip's the grip, no matter where she grips you." Mother Clark fled for assisance to the delegation gathered below, and in a brief space Dakin was surrounded by starched bonnets, Shakespearean quotations, medicine bottles and motherly advice. Only Mother Clark knew enough to run for Dr. Griggs, half a mile away. "The grip's the grip no matter where she grips you," yelled Dakin when he saw the doctor. "I've got her," he continued, catching the president of the Ladies Shakespearean society by the nearest arm and emitting a veritable warwhoop as a signal of victory. The delegation fled in affright. "There'll be no lecture to night," Dr. Griggs called after the indignant ladies as they went below, quoting Shakespeare, Scripture and symptoms of insanity as set forth in the family almanacs used in the town. For seven days and nights Dakin fought the delirium that fastened upon him. He struggled with all the shapes of his shattered past, wrestled with his lost loves, clutched at his vanished youth, prayed and shrieked for the happiness that ever and ever had eluded him in his wanderings around the world. Then, white and wan, he looked up into Mother Clark's sweet face and saw in her sympathetic eyes a heaven he had sought for years. "She's gone," he said, drearily. Then he closed his eyes for a time, opened them and asked: "Where's your husband?" Mother Clark's rosy color deepened. "I never had any," she said, with a touch of sadness that went straight to Dakin's heart. He reached a thin, white hand from under the bed coverings and took hers gently in its grasp. "I know what it means to be alone in the world," he said, brokenly, looking into her face with an expression that vainly sought to voice the loneliness of his heart. Dakin's recovery was slow. The doctor helped him some, the Shakespearean society added a mite in the way of flowers and poetry, but Mother Clark helped most of all, doing with her gentleness what all the others sought to do in ways that were divided between professionalism and primness. His mood was one of inexpressible sadness during all the time she nursed him back to health, and his eyes followed her with a pathos that haunted her during all the hours of the days he lay helpless in her home. "I ought to go away now," he said, sadly, after he had tried his weak limbs and found that he could walk with care and a cane. "I cannot impose upon your generosity any longer." "It is better," she said, looking into the lonely gray skies and upon the dreary hills that rose above like a great sorrow supplicating God. "I don't want to thank you," he said, fitfully; "nor I don't want to go. I dread the loneliness of the world. I cannot face again that which has eaten the best of my youth away, leaving me here broken and exiled even among my friends." "It is a hard way," she said, gently, her cheeks deepening into a color that set his weak heart afame, and her eyes glowing as he had never seen the eyes of woman glow before. "It is a hard way for all of us." As he looked into her face the world boyhood, suffered great poverty, who is now 50 years old, and he has always honestly believed that if he could only get the particular thing he was after, or get over the particular difficulty that was annoying him at the moment, he would be perfectly happy; but he is the same anxious, restless, expectant spirit to-day as when a youth. He has been quite successful and has done some very remarkable things, but he is invariably in hot water. There is always something that nettles him, or destroys his ```markdown ``` NO.35 of cynicism and loneliness drifted away from him and into the little circle around him came a glory he had never seen or known or sought. All of the past seemed to flee from his soul with its shadows and its sadness and only Mother Clark was left in the light that lured his spirits back to life. With a determined expression on his features and a strange gyration in his weak limbs John Dakin went to her side, took her hand in his and almost sobbed like a sick child: "May I—I—I stay?" With all the tenderness of her motherly soul shining in her face she put her arms gently around his weak form, kissed him with a touch that was almost reverent, and sald: "Sit down, John." Beyond in a bare tree a robin sang, and from the gray skies the sun smiled like a blessing long sought, like a lost love returned to the soul of the waiting earth. "It is truly spring," said John Dakin, looking gladly out upon the world. But Mother Clark lifted her shining eyes, tear stained, towards the heavens and murmured: "It is God." COST OF STEAM YACHTS. Costly Amusement Indulged In by Millionaires. Twenty-five dollars an hour seems a big amount to pay for one's pleasure, but with the millionaire expense is of no consideration where his comfort is concerned. He has taken to yachting with a zeal that is increasing every year, and his floating home is a marvel of beauty—his "supreme luxury." There are registered in the United States over 1,200 seagoing steam yachts representing, approximately, $60,000,000. Of these more than 300 fly the flag of the New York Yacht club. Others steam under the colors of the Corinthian Yacht club, of Marblehead, or the Atlantic Yacht club, or smaller clubs. There are more steam yachts registered in this country than in England or France or Germany. Probably not one of the big steam yachts in the New York Yacht club fleet cost to build and equip less than half a million. No one knows, of course, just how much it costs Mr. Morgan to keep the Corsair going. But if such a yacht, for example, carrying a crew of 60 men, is kept in commission for six months out of the 12, the pay roll will run up close to $30,000. To feed the crew, to pay for coal and oil, for docking and other necessary expenses will call for an expenditure of from $30,000 to $50,000 or more. Then there is the expense of entertaining the owner, his family and his guests on cruise—a matter of $20,000—bringing the total cost very near the hundred thousand-dollar mark. Never in all history was another such costly and luxurious vehicle. Any one of a dozen American yachts now skimming the seven seas is costing its owner from $15,000 to $20,000 a month. This means an outlay running from $500 to $700 a day, or approximately $25 an hour. If the owner is entertaining a party of eight persons on a foreign cruise, exactly $75 a day, or $5,600 per cruise, is spent on each individual guest—Broadway Magazine. The Way It Works. "Slowboy has been slaving away at that desk for 20 years or so. Wonder why he's never been promoted?"

FOR GOVERNOR OF KANSAS, 1908. CHAS. L. DAVIDSON of Sedgwick County. SHOULD BE VOTED DOWN. This Proposed Commission Plan Is Not a Safe System Upon Which to Operate Wichita. WILL ELIMINATE NEGRO There is now and has been for the past few months much talk concerning the proposed "Commission Plan" of city government—and now since a petition has been signed, presented to the mayor and he has called a special election for December 3rd that the people may vote "For" and "Against" the proposed "plan"—it is squarely up to the voters as to what they will desire. Should a majority of the voters vote "For" the "Commission"—then, and in that event all ward lines will be removed and the people will proceed to elect the "commissioners" from the city at large. The question now is—Is the "commission plan" the better form of government? For the past two weeks we have made an exhaustive investigation into the merits of this proposed "commission plan" of government for which the special election is called for December 3rd, 1907, and we have tried to look at this subject from an impartial point of view, and have endeavored to learn as much as possible both "for" and "against" the proposed change, and with this in mind we have made it our business to hear arguments and see literature on both sides, and now, after as close an investigation as is possible under such circumstances we are candid in our opinion that the time has not arrived for so sweeping and untried a change as that proposed in the "commission plan." Without going into minute detail of the plan we say that to give the management of a city the size of Wichita into the hands solely of four or five men is, in our judgment, taking a backward step. Our government should always remain "a representative government," and any attempt to decrease the number of representatives is an attempt to place the people still further from having any voice in city affairs. It is not a "centralizing" of power that is most needed—but an "expansion" of power. Is a Southern Plan. The only places of note where this "commission plan" has been used to any extent is Galveston, Texas, and it is not hard for a colored man or colored woman to find ample, good and substantial reasons to oppose any plan of government emanating from such a hole as Texas. Just think of it—a Texas plan in Kansas—the very idea is a gigantic slur at every Negro in Kansas. Let the colored men who may favor this plan go to Texas and see how it works when applied to the Negro. None of Texasism for us. Means Anti-Negro. Under the present form of government we are all agreed that the colored people have little enough representation—but take it under this new proposed plan they will get nothing Under the old subterfuge of retrenchment every colored man employed in a public place will lose his office's scalp; it will mean the doom to the Negro fire department, to our lonely-one—Negro policeman—and others wh by chance hang on. Negro Vote Lost. With this proposed "commission plan" the Negro vote will be lost in the shuffle and in those wards—such as the Second and Fourth wards—the negro vote will be a nullity. Be Sure You're Right. We say to all our people before you vote for this change—be sure you are right—it will be too late to close the door—after the horse is gone. We believe the safe and sane way to do is to vote a big "NO" and let her go at that. Everything in the Housefurnishing line can be had at D. F. Marshall's 236 N. Main. IS THIS DECEPTION? During the campaign last spring which resulted in the election of Mayor Graham his managers published: "And the colored people will be given as good and better representation than they now have." At that time the colored people had a colored man as police clerk, two policemen, a fire department, the white wings, park men and street men. Today we have only ONE policeman—with the others remaining. The thing we are looking for is where the MORE comes in at with ONE LESS. All we ask is that people keep promises made for them and which they did not deny at the time Give us our other policeman, Mr Mayor; let us have him. We have no choice. All we ask is for the man. That's fair, isn't it? SHOULD BE SLOW. As a race our people should be slow in grabbing at these new untried policies of political governments. There are few American so-called "reform" movements that have any good points in them for the black race. Most of them are issues to eliminate the black man under a false gulse. Let us see the real points before taking hold. Mayor Graham is giving the colored people their "money's worth" by only having one lone colored policeman. What's the matter? Are none others qualified? This is "reform," ye know. From present indications the "commission plan" will be defeated by a vote of almost two to one.

Doctors who prescribe horseback riding for their patients declare that it is the greatest exercise possible—that is, the most beneficial, because it strengthens the muscles of the arms, back, neck and the nother limbs, stirs up the liver, stimulates circulation and produces a good, round, full, strong, healthful heart action. This particular wisdom of the medical fraternity has long since demonstrated its worth, and the wonder of it all is that, knowing its corrective blessings in cases of nervousness, with their thousand and one other alliments of which racked nerves is the parent, there are not more persons who will take horseback riding as a preventive for the ticks when it can cure, says Christine McVale in Home Companion. A number of answers to this query have been made, and each has in it grains of truth, but it seems that no single word can answer the question. The expense, ignorance of the way to ride, and too frequently, in the case of the feminine, fear of the animal itself, and the possibility of bodily injury. Sometimes it is urged that horseback riding is a society stunt, and in a small town makes for exclusiveness. And there is really some truth in that. A Commendable Movement. The national government has acted wisely and well in prohibiting the use of posters in setting forth the advantages that the army and navy possess for furnishing young men with honest ways of earning a livelihood. There was a lack of dignity that should attend the proceedings of a great nation in this florid way of attracting public notice, remarks the Boston Budget, and now that it has been discontinued in favor of more legitimate advertising in the newspapers, it is to be hoped that this movement will have a good influence in helping to do away with the billboard nuisance in other directions. There are posters, no doubt, that are inoffensive to the eyes and that do no harm, but there are some that are positively demoralizing in their influence upon the young, through the gaudy pictures of crime that they exhibit, while there are others that are often a blot upon a beautiful stretch of rural scenery. The banishment of the most of these is eagerly desired by people of taste, and there now seems to be a determined effort all over the country to make the unworthy billboards things of the past. Indiana ingenuity was never better displayed than in the opening of the choked overflow pipe at the Blackburn coal mines, says the Indianapolis Star. It was impossible to get at the pipe with the necessary tools, but a neighboring fisherman, who had caught a large sturgeon, saw a mode. Trying a strong cord to the fish's tail he put it in the pipe. It at once swam forward to escape, and when it butted into the obstruction with its bony nose he pulled it back and let it butt again. Thus by the simple process of drilling the obstruction was removed. The possibilities of this system are great. By the aid of trained sturgeons, gar fish and shovel-nose catfish almost any old pipe may be cleaned. When the manager of one of the underground railways in London attempts to force the trainmen to use their H's in the proper places, it is not surprising that there is resentment. This manager has called the attention of the employees to the fact that there are no such places as 'Ampstead or 'Ighgate, or even 'O'born, and insists that they pronounce the names properly. If he succeeds, remarks the Youth's Companion, hopefully, there is likely to be a loud demand for his services on this side to train the street car conductors. Those international marriages are not so dreadfully one-sided, after all. To be sure there is rather a preponderance of titled foreigners capturing American heiresses, but occasionally there is an offset. A fine young American, one of the Rhodes scholars studying in Oxford, has taken to wife a charming English lady. Perhaps, suggests the Indianapolis Star, it will yet become the fashion for old-world ladies of beauty and rank to appropriate plain, untitled but studious and worthy young Americans for their husbands. Ill-bred Americans abroad, about whom we hear complaints, are no more to be condemned than ill-bred foreigners in this country. Lord Allcash, touring in Italy, was no worse in behavior than the lordlings who come here prospecting for a rich matrimonial match. No doubt the duchess of Marlborough can give her cousin Gladys some facts about matrimonial life among the titled that will prove profitable to the prospective bride.

Worry is an insidious disease, because it works in the dark—under the surface, so to speak. The various activities by which the life of the body is maintained, respiration, circulation of the blood, digestion and assimilation, as well as the action of the liver, colon, skin and other organs by which the poisonous products of the body are removed—all these activities are directly under the control of the nervous system, and the nervous system is governed by the mind. Through the process of inter-relation between the mind and the nervous system, the state of mental pandemonium known as worry has an immediate and powerful effect upon the digestive functions. So much for the effects of worry upon digestion and absorption. There is another organ, however, upon which the influence of worry is still more intimate and disastrous. That organ is the heart. Worry is not suspense. Worry is not anxiety, nor regret, nor fear, nor doubt, nor resolve. In these are definite mental states. Worry is essentially different from any of them. It is that vague, chaotic condition—that anarchy of mind—in which hopes, fears, resolves, doubts, anxieties, regrets, an emotions and misperceptions are admitted to the mind. They constitute a ravening, destroying home, under the influence of which logical reasoning is impossible, initiative is paralyzed and the stability of the mind is threatened—not destroyed. Worry is a disease which is curable; but the who would be cured of it must cure himself. He must work out his own salvation. He must engage in a civil war of the intellect—must reduce mental anarchy to mental order. He must in other words, approve self control. Clean Thinking an Asset of Life By Rev. W. N JONES, D. D.

This is a truth that needs stress is laid on what a man impress John Bright by asking a million sterling. "Yes, all you are worth." The man is the gold, we must cultivate. As a man thinketh, so be.

No life can be pure in its purpose and all life not be purer and stronger thereby. This was emphasized by the Master in the service on the mount, when he said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall not only see God, but they shall reveal to their fellows. This is man's noblest function and in doing it he glorifies the Father who is in heaven. Man is to be ranked not by his possessions, but by his personality, for a man's life consists not in the abundance of things he possesseth. This is a truth that needs repeated applause in the day when so much stress is laid on what a man is worth. An English boy once tried to impress John Bright by asking him if he was aware that he was worth a million sterling. "Yes," answered the great commoner, "and that is all you are worth." The man is the gold, for all that, and it is this gold of manhood that we must cultivate. As a man thinketh, so he, and as he is, so will he think others to be. This is a truth that o Only the vile can think vile things. If we ever ready to doubt others, it is a pretty sure indication that we ourselves are not reliable. To the pure all things are pure, and the reverse is equally true. As we judge others, then, so do we, unwittingly, gauge ourselves. If we are evil ourselves, it is easy to believe that others are evil. If we are honest, it is not hard to believe in the honesty of others. At any rate it is safe to give them the benefit of the doubt. There are many who love to But it is far nobler to have the other tendency and disposition, which loves to build up rather than to destroy. The world needs light more than darkness, for thus we shall both glorify God and do good. No life can be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife, and all life not be purer and stronger thereby.

The game is the open door of temptation and although some people think they can play around the entrance without going into the depths of sin, let me give you a little advice—keep as far away from it as possible. It has started many a man and woman down the broad path to perdition; it has wrecked many a soul on the barren crags of vice. I would rather serve my honest time in the penitentiary than to go free with the stains of dishonesty on my hands. You can find dishonest men in every community and I am sorry to say that there are many dishonest men in the seats of authority, men who take advantage of the confidence placed in them by the people and use the public's funds to their own selfish advantage. Men of such calibre are found everywhere. They play around the edges of the law, seeing just how far they can/go without falling into the clutches of the officers. They take delight in "doing" the community, yes and their friends. HERE'S A NEW DEFINITION. And Many There Are Will Say Senator Platt Was Right. A rather cynical joke has been recently credited to Senator Platt. The senator, on his last visit to the Manhattan Beach hotel, allowed a pretty little girl, a western millionaire's daughter, to be presented to him. The little girl, in the course of one of her many chats with the aged statesman, said: "Tell me, won't you, senator, what political economy is?" "Political economy, my dear child," Senator Platt is said to have replied, "is the art of never buying more votes than you actually need." Carefully Corpromised "Father is in a perfectly lovely mood," remarked Clarice. "Don't you think you had better ask him this evening?" "Suppose you ask him?" suggested Clarence. "Oh, I can't," pretested the girl. "I'm too shy." "You ask him just this one time," pleaded Clarence. "I promise you that in the future I'll ask him, no matter how shy I am."—Judge. Want to Know Not long ago a Boston municipal official, who is a stickler for the use of good English, had occasion to consult a physician new to the community. After the examination, the doctor said: "All you need, sir, is a tonic in the shape of fresh air." "Would you mind telling me," said the purist sarcastically, "what is the shape of fresh air?" TO PRETENDERS. A Wholesome Word for Guidance. Just a word to you, "Collier's" and other glaring examples of Modern Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes. Environment gives you a view-point from which it is difficult to understand that some people even nowadays act from motives of old fashioned honesty. There are honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honest people who use them. Perhaps you are trained to believe there is no honesty in this world. There is, although you may not be of a kind to understand it. Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training does not taint the old fashioned person trained without knowledge of pretense and deceit. These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by following the suggestions to quit the food or drink which may be causing the physical complaints and change to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food. You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why the change makes a change in the cells of the body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, makes not the slightest difference in the facts. You can print from old and worn plates all the cheap books your presses will produce and sell them as best you can, but such acts and your "learned" editors are but commercial, and seek only "dollars" and much by pretence. When you branch out into food values you become only ridiculous. Stick to what you know. The field may be small but it is safe.

Dear Sirs: I am, this morning, in receipt of the enclosed mighty good letter from one of my subscribers, which I forward to you, and which I am sure you will be glad to use. I am personally acquainted with this lady, and know that she has no object in writing, other than to do good. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 1, 1907. Dear Mr. Pritchard: Noticing Postum Food Coffee advertised each week in your reliable paper, I concluded to try it, and feeling it a duty towards those who may have suffered as I have from indigestion, desire to state what wonderful benefit I have received from Postum although using only a short time, and not do. I alone realize and appreciate its good effects, but friends remark, "How much I have improved and how well I look", and I tell the facts about Postum every time, for since using it I have not had one attack of indigestion. It is invigorating, healthful; does not affect the nerves as ordinary coffee, and if properly made, a most delicious drink. Although I have not had much faith in general advertising, yet, finding Postum has done so much better for me than I expected I am more inclined to "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good." I am so thankful for good health that I want it known what a blessing Postum has been to me. You may use these few lines as an ad. if you so desire and my name also. Very truly yours. Anna S. Reeves. 275 McDonough St., Brooklyn. Coffee hurt her, she quit and used Postum. She didn't attempt to analyze but she enjoyed the results. Underneath it all "There's a Reason." POSTUM CEREAL CO. LTD.

The beauty of Indian women is one of the charms of Mexico. In the capital, where the Indian has degenerated through poverty and menial service it is less to be remarked than in the smaller towns and in the country. But the beautiful faces one takes in memory away from Mexico are those of Indian women. Fine eyes are universal, and, what one hardly expects, the features, according to Caucasian standards — broad brows, straight noses, well-formed mouths and chins full but not gross or heavy. The expression is very generally intelligent, and often one is struck, both in Indian men and women, with the nobility and refinement of the countenance. One frequently sees types among the peons that seem to belong to some highly civilized ancient caste — an Egyptian priest of royal blood, a Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor. The women are gently lovely where they are beautiful, and the men at their best in carriage, in manners and in countenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization. — Modern Mexico. Prizes for Inventions With a view to encouraging officials and workmen on the Imperial German railways, the government have established a fund from which awards are made to men who invent any appliance which may be useful in railway practice; $3,750 was paid to employees last year from the fund. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

"However scarce money may be at times at the present," said an old Missourian, "the oldest inhabitants will recall when it was almost unobtainable and other commodities had to be used as media of exchange. The wolf's scalp was worth a dollar because it was a state bounty upon the death of a wolf, and venison hams and deer skins also had a purchasing value. Skins of the fur bearers were likewise abundant and valuable. When the first sheriff of Audrain county, in 1837, went to Jefferson City to deliver the county revenue, he met an old friend on the way who, needing money, wanted to borrow the actual coin part of the county's revenue. The good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and went on to the capital and delivered only the scalps. By the time of the next settlement the loan was repaid and the sheriff made his next settlement complete. No note or other obligation than the mere word was given."—Columbia Herald. BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Relieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. "Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906." Martins' Revenge A correspondent tells the story of two house martins' nests built against an attic window of a farm, to which the birds came for several successive years. Last spring, however, before they arrived, a sparrow took up her abode in one of the nests. Shortly after the martins returned as usual, and one day the farm people noticed that the hole of the nest which the sparrow occupied had been blocked up.

"The maps we have been giving as premiums to subscriptions caused a little temporary excitement in our office the other day," says the editor of the Adams Enterprise. "Ben Spudge called and casually remarked in the presence of seven intending subscribers that the said maps weren't worth the paper they were printed on. As this observation caused the seven intending ones to keep their cash in their pockets we proceeded to make a map of Ben's countenance, and we succeeded so well that he is now the best walking advertisement our map industry ever had. Call again, Ben, old boy!"—Atlanta Constitution. Eluding the Teacher. Wille came to school for the first time. In one hand he carried a cap and in the other a bunch of bananas. "You can't come in here with those bananas," said the teacher. Willie went out. In a few minutes he came back, walking slowly and painfully. "Where did you put the bananas?" asked the teacher. "I hid them all right," gasped Willie; "they're safe inside of me." PLEASANT SUMMER. A Wis. woman says: "I was run down and weak, troubled with nervousness and headache for the last six years.

ONE HALF FORTIFICATIONS All of Which is for Contracts Already Make or Authorized—No New Projects Being Included. Washington, Nov. 13.—Estimates of appropriations aggregating $23,461,911 are made by Gen. Alexander MacKenzie, chief engineer of the army, for fortification work during the fiscal year 1909. This contemplates work in the United States, Cuba, Honolulu, Porto Rico and the Philippines. It includes gun and mortar batteries, electrical installations at sea coast fortifications, $1,000,000; sites for fortifications and sea coast defenses. $3,478,500; search lights for harbor defenses, $1,000,000; preservation and repair of fortifications, $600,000; sea wall Fort Moultrie, S. C. $125,600; repair and fortification of Pensacola defense, $583,455; repair and protection for Mobile defense $589,500; defenses of Galveston, $1,275,000; casemates and galleries for submarine mines, $464,964; experimental automobile torpedoes, $100,000; sea coast batteries at Guantanamo, $1,020,000; Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, $1,110,000; Manila, $6,488,000; installation of electric plants at these places and at Subig bay, $502,992; for search lights at San Juan, Porto Rico, Guantanamo, Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Guam and in the Philippines $502,000; torpedo structures of defenses of Honolulu and Pearl harbor, Hawaii, $129,000. Gen. MacKenzie's report deals also with the question of the improvement of rivers and harbors. It submits estimates aggregating over $27,000,000 for the fiscal year 1909 which will be included by Secretary Taft in his report to congress. These are made up as follows: For continuing work already begun, $25,142,744; Mississippi river commission for carrying on works under its charge, $2,000,000; expenses of California debris commission, $15,000,000; prevention of deposits in New York harbor, $155,260; and the enlargement of Governor's island, New York, $75,000. At the last session of congress river and harbor appropriation bill was passed carrying a large amount of money and authorizing the War department to enter into contracts for various projects. Because of the improbability of any legislation of that character during the coming session, except to make appropriations for carrying on work already authorized and contracted for, Gen. MacKenzie does not submit any estimates for new projects. A. Kansas Convict Pardoned A Kansas Convict Pardoned. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 10—Gov. Hoch Saturday issued a pardon to John W. Tyrese of Crawford county, who has been confined in the penitentiary since Dec. 1904, on a statutory charge. The complaining witness has written a letter stating that Tyrese was not unfit but that she was forced to wear to the complaint by the county attorney and sheriff. The county attorney has steadily refused to sign a petition although the trial judge, the jurors and the father have written letters repeatedly asking for Tyrese's pardon. Strong Anti-Saloon Vote Sheffield, Ill., Nov. 13—Earnest A. Scrogin, attorney for the anti-saloon league, Monday gave the Associated Press the following resume of the result of the *vote in Illinois on the question of licensing saloons under the new local option law: "Out of 160 precincts which voted on the question," said Mr. Scrogin, "140 voted against license while but 20 voted for license." To Loan Cuban Money. Havana, Nov. 12.—The condition of the money market making it impracticable for the Cuban banks to secure sufficient funds to meet the requirements of the agricultural and other industries of the island, Governor Magoon Monday issued a decree offering $5,000,000 in cash from the treasury to the banks at 6 per cent interest. These loans will stand until July 15, 1919. Gov. Folk Visits Bryan. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 10.—Gov. Joseph W Folk, of Missouri, was in Lincoln Friday a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William J. Bryan. He arrived in the morning, going direct to the Bryan home at Falview, where he remained during the day and left Friday evening for the East. The statement was made that Governor Folk's visit was of a social nature and had no political significance. Love in Old Age. Lowell, Mass., Nov. 13.—Henry C. Wilder, aged 95 years, and Esther Crawford, 90 years old, were married Monday night. They have known each other only two weeks. Miss Crawford came here from, her home in the west to visit a niece. It was a case of love at first sight, it is said. Locomotive Boiler Explodes Omaha, Neb., Nov. 13.—The boiler of a Union Pacific locomotive exploded at Schuyler, Neb., Tuesday evening, instantly killing Fireman Leonard Urbach of this city and injuring Conductor McGraft. You Look Prematurely Old THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE. Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable Proof of Deafness Also. Judge Harlan, who lives up on the hill, was a passenger on a Fourteenth street car the other day and was seated next to a couple of clerks who were deeply interested in some discussion, which caused one of them to raise his voice to quite a high pitch, says the Washington Star. This appeared to make the other man rather cautious, as he glanced warily around to see if any one was listening to the talk of his friend. At this moment he discovered the presence of the dignified justice and turning hastily to his loud-talking comrade, he said: "For heaven's sake, lower your voice; you may have heard that justice is blind but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's deaf also." Whether Judge Harlan heard the remark it is impossible to state, yet, all the same, a calm smile flitted over his face at the conclusion of the young fellow's admonition to his friend. Saying "Hello" to Heart Throbs. Saying "Hello to Heart Throbs. "It is a curious thing," said a prominent lecturer recently, "how some books have a strong radiating personality, so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned 'sing'. On the center table were strenued the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly exclaimed 'Hello! my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked up with surprise, I picked up a copy of 'Heart Throbs' and read to them from its pages the 'piece' I spoke in school 40 years ago. "That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was forgotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verse that have been preserved in this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible I love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times." Mary Knew. Little Mary's father had been teaching her to walk properly, "Walk slowly and turn out your toes," he admonished her. While she was undergoing this teaching she attended Sunday school one day. The golden text was, "Teach me to walk honestly." After reciting it several times, the teacher asked: "Who knows what that means?" "I do," replied little Mary. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Hunting Up Statistics. "What does your father do to earn his living?" asked a New York principal of a pupil who was being admitted. "Please, ma'am, he doesn't live with us; mamma supports me."

MONROE DRUG CO. Outside. Restricted Choice. "The people and the corporations," said Senator La Follette the other day, "remind me of a woman and her little boy. There was a very large chicken and a very small duck on the table and the woman, pausing with the carving knife raised, said: 'Johnny, which will you take, chicken or duck?' 'Duck,' piped Johnny. But the mother shook her head. 'No, Johnny,' she said in a firm, yet kindly voice, 'you can't have duck, my dear. Take your choice, darling, take your choice, but you can't have duck.'" The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.

Catarrch is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indicate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part of the system are involved. Catarrch is due to the presence of an excess of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently become torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying of the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms of Catarrch. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the catarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and every symptom disappears, the constitution is built up and vigorous health restored. S. S. S. also tones up the stomach and digestion and acts as a fine tonic to the entire system. If you are suffering with Catarrh begin the use of S. S.

Kirk, Probate Judge of said County and State: In the matter of the application of A. K. Lawrence for a Druggist's Permit to sell Intoxicating Liquors. To all whom it may concern: THE WIGH A SEARCHLIGHT press, it goes to show that the play was one marvelous success. The production is not a musical comedy. Many people believe it to be so, but it is quite different. The correct term for "The Time, The Place, and The Girl" attraction is that Hough and Adams have made it—a comedy with music. The book is by the former names and the music is by Joseph Howard. One can see the play without the music, and enjoy it immensely, and so unique is the comedy and affiliated with the music it undoubtedly makes one of hte best entertainments of the season. When the attraction played Boston it created the greatest sensation of the season, so much so that the time was extended for several weeks, and at the end of the season the production was taken to New York and produced at Wallack's Theatre on Broadway. In fact the production opened up the theatrical season in the metropolis of the East. Not for one moment did Mr. Harry Askin of Chicago, doubt that the play would suit the critics in the East. He did not stand like John W. Gates in the betting ring with thousands wagered in a gamble. He was not taking a chance with the general public like a race track man does with the book-maker. It was a dead sure thing. He had the "One Best Bet." As Mr. Askin said one day, "The Time, The Place, and The Girl" is the best comedy with music ever produced. If it were not so, why could I come to all the big cities with a show and stand to lose a fortune? It was proven all over the entire country that this play was never equaled in its line, and so when the show was taken to New York it set the town a-talking, same as it did everywhere it has played. Mr. Harry Askin, who for years has been associated with great enterprises and large theatrical firms, is now en the road to become one, if not the greatest producing manager in Chicago. In fact, he controls the greatest plays out of the city which will in time be the center of theatrical business. "The Time, The Place, and The Girl" will be at the Crawford Theatre, November 19. Mae Abbott, the young comedienne, of the title role in "My Dixie Girl" evolves up-to-date slang, as fluently and as floweringly as the soft coal smoke from the funnel of a Chicago River tug—yes, and envelopes her atmosphere equally as effectively, too, but covering hers with good humor and laughter. The Paradox ends here. "My Dixie Girl" will be on the Crawford, Wednesday, November 20. Despite the many offerings of the present season, the popular drama of the Daniel Boone state, "In Old Kentucky," with its delightful romance of the blue grass state, its merry pickinnies, its exciting horse race and its capital comedy scenes, will again be a lively competitor to any newer offering that may make a bid for public approval. It will be seen here presently and on a more lavish scale than ever before. It is the sort of play that never wears out its welcome with thetheatregoers. Miss May Stockton has the leading role of the mountain heroine this season. The decorative frieze of Indians and horsemen which ornaments the scenic setting of "The Heir to the Hoorah" was painted by Lawrence Mazzano-vitch, the well known artist who illustrated the de Luxe edition of Owen Wister's story, "The Virg'nian." "East Lynne," the play that will live forever, the play in which the most famous actresses and actors of the country have appeared, will be performed in this city in the near future by an exceptionally capable company.

This places the International Order of Twelve in the lead of all orders in the Jurisdiction in the care of its children and all members should feel encouraged at this advanced move and do all in their power to push the order to the front. All departments of the order should pay their endowments the first of each month which will enable the C. G. Tr. to pay the endowment as promised.

FRANK WILSON, C. G M., 1715 Clark Ave. Parsons, Kan. AT THE CRAWFORD THEATER. The Searchlight has added the theater column to its pages, and will endeavor each week to give its readers the news of coming good attractions at the Wichita opera houses. EDITOR. In glancing over the rosters of the many dramatic companies that are booked to play here this season, we notice that one of the most meritorious is that of Arthur C. Alston's "At the Old Cross Roads" company which is enjoying the seventh annual tour, and which will be seen here at the Crawford, matinee and night, on Saturday, November 16. They are artists of noted reputation, and it is evident that no pains or expense have been spared in bringing together such an excellent coterie of players in one organization. It includes many of the original members who were prominent in the initial performances on Broadway and several others of equal note. A treat is in store for our theatregoers and the sale of seats promises to be one of the liveliest of the present season. In his new romance of the plains, "An Old Sweetheart of Mine," W. A. Whitecar has the part of an American gentleman who has drifted to the ranch life of the West to escape the "sweetheart" who has jilted him, but seeks him out in his western hiding place and rescues him from death and dishonor. Jules Murry is responsible for the production. It is a well known fact that in New York, London and Paris it is not an uncommon thing for a theatrical production to run a year or more in the same theatre. Outside these three great cities it would not seem possible that a show could run for a year at the one theatre. It may seem foolish to state and some may not believe the veracity of the story, but nevertheless it stands without contradiction that "The Time, The Place, and he Girl" had 465 consecutive performances at the La Salle Theatre, Chicago. This is undoubtedly the record for a long distance run for any production that has showed the metropolis of the West. The production not only broke all records for a continuous run, but it also broke all all records in the matter of attendance, and from a box office standpoint no show could produce statements from the financial end that could compare in any way with "The Time, The Place, and The Girl" Company. With the stamp of approval upon it from the theatregoers and the .

TSCH GLAS AVE Two important matters of interest to the colored people remain to be decided by the president and the department of justice. One is the appointment of a justice of peace for the District of Columbia to fill a vacancy which has existed for several months on account of the death of Justice Lewis I. O'Neal. Mr. Jas. Cobb, a young lawyer in the District has been recommended to the president as capable of filling the vacancy and is likely to be the winner. The second is the filling of the vacancy in the office of United States attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Mr. Sciplo Jones, a young colored lawyer of Arkansas, has been recommended by leading jurists of the state to fill the vacancy. It is believed by many of the colored people throughout the country that these two applicants will be appointed by the president. FINE BABY GIRL.

Max felt decidedly pleased with himself as he walked up the steps of a palace belonging to one of New York's millionaires. This millionaire and all his belongings were of special interest to the public just at that time because his daughter was shortly to be married to a titled foreigner and the wedding, in the magnitude of its splendor, was to eclipse all previous weddings. A well-known photographer had received an order from a magazine for photographs of the important rooms in the home of the bride-elect, and Max, who was the photographer's right-hand man, was now on his way to take the pictures. Arrived at the house, Max began with the drawing-room. When he had the light and his camera arranged to his satisfaction Max sent away the servants who were helping him and prepared to take the picture. As he was about to remove the cap he heard the rustle of a gown and a woman's face appeared between the curtains that hung in a doorway directly in range of the camera. The face belonged to a tall, slender creature, half girl, half woman. When she saw Max she seemed startled, but at sight of his camera she recovered her compose. "May I come in?" She asked the question in a hesitating way. Max smiled at her. "I would rather you waited a few minutes," he returned, uneasily, "unless you want to be in the picture. Just step back out of sight and I will call you in a moment." The girl's astonished face as she obeyed him made Max realize that he had been a trifle dictatorial to someone who had more right there than he. She evidently lived in the house and he found himself wondering as he timed his exposure, in what capacity. He came to the conclusion that she was probably companion or secretary to one of the family. Her dress, as well as her way of carrying herself and her manner of speaking, told him she was not a servant and he knew that the millionaire and his family were out of town. They were supposed to have slipped away to give the bride-elect a few days' rest and shelter from publicity before the wedding. "You may come in now," Max called. As the girl entered the room he noticed that she was very pretty. She walked over to his camera, which she examined with interest. The girl scaled herself before the fire and began listlessly to turn the pages of a magazine, meanwhile asking questions about his work until Max found himself growing communicative. He told her how busy they were at the studio ad that he preferred photographing interior to taking portraits of actresses and celebrities. Interior work was harder, but portraits became monotonous. "This house is a beauty, isn't it?" he remarked. The girl looked surprised, then she emiled. "Yes," it is a nice house," she said. "You don't say that very enthusiastically," observed Max, turning to look at her, "but I suppose you're too used to it to have it impress you as it does me. There'll be a fine time here when that wedding comes off," he went on. "It's going to cost something, I tell you, but I like to see rich people spend their money. It seems queer, though, making such a fuss over a girl not out of her teens. Do you know her?" he asked suddenly. "Yes. I know her." "Do you like her? I have always heard that she had a very lovely disposition, sweet and gentle, you know, and all that." "Oh, I suppose under all her moods she has a fairly good heart," said the girl, rising and going over to look out from one of the windows. A silence followed which was broken only by the faint splashing of the fountain in the hall. Max was intent on his exposures and his companion, who had returned to her chair, appeared to be absorbed in a book. "I wish Maisie could see this house!" Max cried suddenly. The girl looked up quickly. "Who is Maisie?" she asked. Max's face grew red under his fair skin; he had spoken without stopping to think. "Maisle is—" he began in a blundering way; "she is the girl I'm engaged to," he ended bravely. The chynness in his manner, in such contrast to his former easy assurance, seemed to amuse and please his companion. "So you are going to be married, too?" she said smiling at him. "No, I am not going to be married for a long while yet." Max answered, ruefully. "I only wish I were. But there's no such luck." "Doesn't she want to be married yet?" "Yes, but we've got to wait." "Why?" The girl's voice was full of interest. "Too poor," Max answered, laconically. "We must wait till I get my salary raised and save up something for a rainy day. Can't live on love, you know." The girl's face grew wistful. "Sometimes I think I should like to try," she said. May laughed. "It wouldn't work. You can't enjoy life when you're worrying about money all the time. But, after all," he continued, going back to his own affairs, "it does not really cost such a lot to keep a house, and Maisie is a first-rate manager. If I only had more saved up, we would not be actually obliged to wait for the 'raise.' It makes me mad when I think of all the money I wasted before I knew Maisie. I tell you, it takes a girl like her to take the nonsense out of a fellow. Now, just to show you the kind of girl she is,' he went on, "she is crazy about diamonds. So I make up my mind not to propose to her until I had saved enough to buy her a solitary ring. When I had $50 (you can get a very fair stone for that nowadays, you know) I asked her to marry me, and after she had said 'Yes,' we went together to get the ring. And what do you think that girl did? Picked out a plain moonstone and flatly refused to have any diamond. She said diamonds were a foolish extravagance for people like us, and I must put the money away toward furnishing our flat. Now, what do you think of that?" Max looked at his companion as if challenging her to cite an instance of greater heroism. "I think Maisie is a girl worth having." "Well, she has made a man of me," declared Max, "and I'll wager that's more than the girl who lives here can do with her prince. In fact, I don't believe she'll even try. All girls are not like Ma'sie." Max's companion had risen and was staring into the fireplace, where the Wilson 91 "Who Is Maisie?" She Asked. flames of the gas log leapt and curled. "You are right," she said; "all girls are not like Malsie. But perhaps she will try," she added softly, and then went away without waiting to say good-bye. Max looked after her retreating figure with a perplexed face. "Well!" he ejaculated, "she did go off in a hurry. I wonder if I hurt her feelings? She seems to be touchy on the subject of that wedding. It isn't often I talk to any one about Malsie, but that girl was different, somehow, from the general run of people. Pretty and nice, too, with fine manners. I suppose that comes from watching the swells. If she comes back, I'm going to ask her who she is. I wanted to before, but didn't dare. It's funny what there is about some people that won't let you ask them questions." But his companion of the morning did not appear again. At the door, as Max was going out, a pompous servant handed him an envelope and a small package. "I was desired to give you these," he said. "What?"—began Max. "You were not to ask any questions, sir," interrupted the man gently, as, without giving Max time to speak, he swung open the massive door, letting in a flood of light and a dim roar of mingled noises. Bewildered, Max went out into the sunshino and down the marble steps, opening the envelope as he walked. There was a letter inside, written on heavy, monogrammed paper: "I want Maisie to have what I send with the letter. Tell her to wear it, not because it is the gift of one who will soon bear a title, but because it comes from a woman she has helped. And tell her, too, that all the diamonds in the world could not weigh against being loved as she "a." The letter bore the signature of the bride-elect whose marriage would make a princess. With a grave face Max took the wrapping from the package and touched the spring of the jewel case it contained. The cover flew up disclosing a ring set with a radiant diamond, a priceless stone that caught the sun's rays and flashed and sparkled, blazing with light and fairy colors. Still At It.

While so much of our activity is along lines of business, where, with our great opportunities, special talent is liberally rewarded, undoubtedly rich returns come to many, and undoubtedly with these rich returns many of the more honorable ambitions of early youth are forgotten and ideals become corrupt. But there is one thing more important than anything else, and that is that within there should be a citadel which none can assail, a fortress that cannot be carried by assault, that is proof against any kind of attack; and that is the citadel of self-respect. The secret is within, not in external conditions. A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he is always in good company. Whether his lot is prosperous, whether his talents are such as to win certain kinds of success, or whether he has opportunities which come to some and are denied to others, if that citadel remains impregnable, he is a man and a successful man, and he is a happy man. Without this he is somebody else's man. The Danger in Fatigue By DR. LUTHER GULICK. Fatigue lowers all the faculties of the body.

In every direction it decreases efficiency, forcing the personality down to a lower level. When we are tired out we are not ourselves. A part of us has temporarily gone out of existence. Fatigue is a destructive agent like sickness and death. It is a condition which in the nature of things we cannot avoid, but it is important for us to know what it is and how to leal with it. Now when fatigue begins to attack the personality, it naturally undermines these latest strata first. When a man is exhausted he finds it difficult to be patient. This is not his fault. It is because fatigue has forced him back a few hundred generations. His self-control is at low ebb. The smallest annoyances are sufficient to make him lose his temper. The same holds true of all the recent character acquisitions. Many temptations are more violent and harder to resist when a man is fatigued. His moral sense is dulled. He loses the vividness of his distinctions between right and wrong, honesty and dishonesty. We degenerate from the top down. The last thing acquired is the first thing lost. Therefore bodily vigor is a moral agent. It enables us to live on higher levels, to keep up to the top of our achievements. We cannot afford to lose grip on ourselves. The only thing to do with fatigue, then, is to get rid of it as soon as possible. As long as it is with us we ought to realize that we are not our normal selves and act in accordance. Important questions must not be decided then. It is a bad time to make plans. A man has lost his faculty to see straight. The time when fatigue becomes a really dangerous agent of destruction is when a normal amount of rest does not do away with it—when it piles up day after day, so that a man comes from his work tired and goes to it tired. Such fatigue as this keeps him living on a low level of efficiency. He never gets up to his possible best. Over-fatigue is fatigue that does not disappear before the next exertion. Over-fatigue piles up against the day of wrath. Study Your Failures By JOHN A. HOWLAND. complish much of this material and he must know his human substance.
