That Western University is building into a still greater institution, and setting in motion currents of usefulness, upift and progress on every hand was enriched by the splendid Commencement just concluded Thursday, June 4th, the greatest and best Commencement in its history. Dr. Wm. T. Vernon, Registrar of U. S. Treasury, has been present and lent all his old itme energy and characteristic personality in making the closing days a great success. For ten days people came from all parts of the West, walked or rode the two miles from the street car line, and crowded the Auditorium Hall at each nightly exercise, sometimes through rain and over bad roads. In all kinds of country vehicles, carriages, hacks, automobiles, and in a large tally-ho carrying eighteen at a trip they came and went curious, crowded and con- tracted. As a grand climax to the whole, Thursday afternoon at 2 p. m. in a large tent which held about 3,000 people, the Commencement exercises were held. The Salutatory oration was delivered by Miss Ada Balthrop of Argentine, Kansas; the Valedictory by Milton E. Sanders of Hempstead, Texas The Commencement address was made by Prof. G. N. Grisham of Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo. Bishop Abram Grant delivered some very fitting remarks, and thanked the people for their presence and financial support in years past. Dr. Wm. T. Vernon awarded the diplomas and certificates, and distributed prizes as follows: The J. C. Emery prize given by Mrs. Wm. T. Vernon for highest scholarship was presented to Milton E. Sanders. The B. F. Watson prize for best record in original music composition for this year was won by John Sellars of Great Bend, Kansas. The J. C. Owens prize for the best record in Cooking Department was won by Miss Bertha Anderson of Quindaro. The W. D. Cook gold medal for winner in oratory, and another medal presented by Prof. W. W. Fisher to settle the tie in the contest, were presented to Miss Erva French of Quindaro, and Miss Vinecy Keys of Kansas City, Mo. After the exercises the great crowd opened the fine exhibit of the handi- work of th students made during the year, and inspected the new Boys' Trails Hall now being finished and in- malled with steam laundry, electric lighting plant and fine woodturning and steel working machinery. The Military Band boys entertained the crowd with an open air concert.

The thirtieth annual session of Prince Hall Grand Court, Hereoines of Jericho, Kansas Jurisdiction, which was held in the city this week was a noteworthy event. With ideal weather for each session, day and night, the Grand Court was enabled to dispatch their business in a pleasing manner. The meeting was held with Mt. Olive Court No. 9 of Wichita in Young's Hall and was in session June 9-10-11. Each session was marked with much important business affecting the Grand Court work. The address of welcome and responses were had Wednesday night at the splendid reception tendered the grand officers, delegates and friends by Mt. Olive Court and its energetic members. Thursday was the election of officers. The Grand Court was highly pleased to have with them Grand Master C. H. M. Collins of Kansas City.

THE REINCARDS OF BUD WAKE By HENRY OWEN (Copyright, by Shortstory I) The pale little man who sat on the bunk-side in the shack on the hill looked at the paper in his hands with staring eyes. The light in the shack NEGRO DEATH RATE. The health and mortality report for the week ending March 14 for Washington, D. C., places the number of deaths there for that period at 151 of which 90 were white and 61, or 10 more than one-third were Negroes. Compared with the total number of Negro inhabitants in Washington, this shows o continued increase in the death rate in the colored race, and is very much greater than that of the white race. Now what occasions this large death rate among Negroes of Washington? Why because thousands of them are poorly housed, poorly fed and poorly clothed. Thousands of the race there barely eke out an existence, and yet they prefer to remain in Washington, only to meet death by consumption and other diseases that result from improper living than to leave that city and go out into the states, out into the country, and live a simple healthful life surrounded by those comforts and fed on te wolesome food which their own hands can make and produce. At the rapid rate Negroes are dying off in Washington because of unwholesome living, a serious problem confronts the race in that city. The Negro death rate in Washington, comparing the white and black population, is rapidly reaching that point where it will be 50 per cent greater than the white death rate. Mrs. H. I. Jones is still on the sick list. Smoking in Clubs. The question of smoking was a burning one in the mid-nineteenth century, and it was not until 1845 that White's gave up a room to the users of tobacco, says the London Chronicle. And in all clubs the smokers were relegated to the most dismal apartments. It was King Edward, when prince of Wales, who broke through the tradition, and when White's refused to extend the accommodation for smokers, started the Marlborough, wherein smoking was permitted in every part of the house but the diningroom. Clean Burned Kettle After burning food in a kettle you often find that in spite of all scouring it will not all come off. This may be remedied by placing the kettle over a fire and filling it with water, after which add some baking soda. Let this boil a few minutes and then remove the fire and wash the kettle. It will be as good as new. Heavenly City Berlin is said to be the quietest city in Europe. Railway engines are not allowed to blow their whistles within the city limits. There is no loud bawling of hucksters, and a man whose wagon gearing is loose and rattling is subject to a fine. The courts have a large discretion as to fines for noise-making. Strangest of all, piano playing is regulated in Berlin. Before a certain hour in the day, and after a certain hour in the night the piano must be silent in that musical city. Even during the playing hours a fine is imposed for mere pounding on the piano. THE REINCARNATION OF BUD WARNER (Copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Co.) The pale little man who sat on the bunk-side in the shack on the hill looked at the paper in his hands with staring eyes. The light in the shack was poor, for men do not bring such luxuries as window glass over 60 miles of rough trail to equip a prospect shack with glazed windows. The only light in the room was that which came in through the door, so the pale man on the bunk shifted his position to better distinguish the picture and the headlines and news-paragraph that went wittet. This is what he read. this time stayed and nursing his mother caring had been times weak frame file nearly went out some reason the were nights at man never left there was one miles and brow eventually clea brain and brow to earth. $2000—REWARD—$2000. A DESPERADO STILL AT LARGE WELLS, FARGO & CO'S AGENT AT SULPHUR OFFERS BIG REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO ARREST OF BUD WARNER, THE TRAIN ROBBER. Despite the original reward of $1,000 offered by the officials of Wells, Fargo & Co., immediately after the robbery of their express car in the big cut near this city, the notorious outlaw, "Bud" Warner, is still uncaught. Actuated by this fact and the urgent necessity of putting an end to the reign of robbery which has prevailed here so long, and of which the said Bud Warner is believed to be the prime instigator, it has been decided to increase the reward offered to $2,000. This amount will be paid to the person who furnishes exclusive information upon which the desperado's arrest is effected. As it is believed that Warner is at the present time shielded by friends or con- federates, the officials of the company have little doubt that the doubling of the reward will produce the desired res- ults. The little man in the shack re-read the paragraph again and again. He looked at the date. It was two weeks old. Two thousand dollars. He had never possessed that much money in all his life. He read the figures again, and they seemed to grow red and burn themselves into his soul. A noise disturbed him, and with the look of a man caught robbing a friend's home he hastened to slip the paper into a crack in the floor. But the noise was only the wind blowing the door back and forth on its rusty hinges. The little man lay flat on his back in the bunk, completely exhausted from the sudden fright. He was very pale, except where a red spot burned bright in each cheek, and his eyes were shining with the unnatural brightness of fever. He began to cough, and the effort shook and racked him, and left him lying trembling and helpless. He swore feebly at this for, since he had come to live in the little shack on the hillside, the cough which had driven him from the desk in Chicago to exile in the land of sun and sand had been growing less and less frequent. The doctor had said: "Go to Sulphur and ride west." But west of Sulphur the trails are mixed, and some lead south into the desert of The Dead Things, where the water is only a myth, and where no honest men go unless they have grown tired of the things of this life. So the little man got lost, hopelessly and completely lost. He rode his horse to death in the first frenzy of fright after discovering his predicament, and finally sat down to stare Death, horrible, parching, inevitable Death, in the face out there in the bright sun. Then out of the dust of the trail had come the man who owned the shack on the hill. That was all the little man remembered, for 12 hours in the sun is not good for the memory of any mortal man. But he woke up after awhile, and the big man who picked him up was feeding him whisky and rare roast beef in wholly indecent quantities. He had lain thus for four blank weeks of unconsciousness. The big man had in "Nope, never did." After supper Peters said: "Don't see how you can afford to waste your time here—Smith. You could be making good money somewhere else. I don't see how you make money enough even for your tobacco here, don't see how you manage to live on it." "I don't," said the big man, shortly. "Sometimes we do things and don't care whether it pays or not. Sometimes we have to do something, whether we want to or not, or whether it pays or not. Sometimes we want to do things after awhile that we'd ought to done long before. We find that we've been wrong in our ideas of things. We were sure we were right before, but all of a sudden something happens that shows us that we're all wrong and the other fellows are all right. Then we want to do different." "Did something show you?" asked Peters. Only Education That Counts Knowledge Absorbed Must Prove an Equipment to the Mind. A man may be ignorant in nine languages; he may have conned the accumulated knowledge of the world and yet be uneducated; he may read the works of the wise men of the world and yet learn little wisdom; he may garner a huge collection of facts and yet avail himself of none of them. this time stayed by his side, watching and nursing him with the eyes of a mother caring for her first-born. There had been times when the spirit in the weak frame flickered desperately and nearly went out, but somehow and for some reason the thread hung on. There were nights and days when the big man never left the bunk-side, and there was one night when he rode 60 miles and brought back powders that eventually cleared the sun-dimmed brain and brought the pale man back to earth. When the little man was able to sit up and talk he learned that he was in a most isolated shack in the foot-hills of the Lower Sangre de Cristo range, the guest of a man named Smith, whose occupation was prospecting. This the big man told him as he fed him diluted pea soup which had come in cans over the long trail from Sulphur. Also he told him that he was welcome, welcome as the sun, to make his home indefinitely in the shack, and breathe the air "right where God makes it," and get well if it was so willed. He had stayed, and the rare beef and whisky, and sun and air, had wrought wonders. He could now on his "good days" potter around the shack, and the cough was gradually diminishing. The little man again climbed laboriously out of the bunk and felt in the floor crack for the paper. It was a poor piece of presswork, that picture, but the man laughed as he viewed it. "Yes, it's him—it's him sure," he said. "It's him—that big board of his now don't disguise him at all. And he told me his name was Smith!" A big, bronzed man with a beard came into the shack in the evening. "Hello, Peters, how's the cough today?" he inquired, jovially. "That's good, that's good," he continued, as he set about preparing the evening meal. The big man slivered off a pound of bacon. "How you coming along with your prospecting—Smith?" asked the little man. "Find anything worth while today?" The big man eyed him in a flash, but he answered: "Nothing much, tuh tell the truth, nothing much. Worked on the old prospect hole. Don't expect to find anything that'll pay there for some time." "Think you'll ever find anything here?" asked Peters. "Don't know. No telling. Found signs, good signs, when I first came here." "Never found anything that paid, though?" "Nope, never did." After supper Peters said: "Don't see how you can afford to waste your time here—Smith. You could be making good money somewhere else. I don't see how you make money enough even for your tobacco here, don't see how you manage to live on it." "I don't," said the big man, shortly. "Sometimes we do things and don't care whether it pays or not. Sometimes we have to do something, whether we want to or not, or whether it pays or not. Sometimes we want to do things after awhile that we'd ought to done long before. We find that we've been wrong in our ideas of things. We were sure we were right before, but all of a sudden something happens that shows us that we're all wrong and the other fellows are all right. Then we want to do different." "Did something show you?" asked Peters. Education does not consist of knowledge, nor of learning mere facts, nor even of the exercise of the reason in connection with the facts and the knowledge. Roger Ascham hinted at the right education when he said of the unprofitable exercises of the schoolmen of the middle ages that "they were always learning and little profiting; their whole knowledge was tied only to their tongue and lips, and "Well, now, Pete, that ain't just right, you know," was the good-nature rejoiner. "We've all of us, at least those of us who weren't brought up on a milk bottle, had times when we come what wasn't just right; what we afterwards discovered was foolish. As we get a little older we get mellowed we find that the world isn't so hard to us, and we don't have to be so hard again it." The next day, and the next, and the next showed still more remarkable improvement in the condition of the sick man. He was stronger, much stronger, and his high spirits were wonderful to behold. He exhibited a new interest in everything about him, the shack, and the prospect holes, and their location in miles from the nearest town. Finally he learned, without asking one direct question, but if a man would set a straight course due east, through the flat lands of sand and cactus, he would, at the end of an easy day's ride, reach the vicinage of Sulphur. It was two weeks later that Smith mounted the little bronco that picked up a precarious living about the shack, and rode off into the hills where the cattle rangers were, to secure the beef so necessary to the proper nourishment of Peters. He was gone three days. When he returned Peters was gone. The little shack was cold and empty, the door was open, and swinging aimlessly on the hinges, the wind blew through mournfully. The big man ran out and called loudly for his guest. He ran to the prospect holes and peered and called into them, but there was no answer. Presently he found the trail of the little man, and followed it until it ran east into the long trail that led to Sulphur. "Poor little muzzler," said Smith. "He must 'a got lonesome and started to walk into Sulphur—started to walk!" The tired bronco had a short hour's rest. Then he was hurriedly re-saddled and shoved over the Sulphur trail as fast as his legs would carry him. On the outskirts of Sulphur, Smith met "Windy Sim," sheriff of Sulphur county. "Funny thing happened last night," said Sim, hastening to live up to the reputation that had given him his name. "Little measly piece of a lunger came hiking into town with a paper about the Bud Warner reward in his fists. Claimed the reward right away. Said how he'd been living with this here same man whose picture was in the paper in a little shack off some where in the Sangre de Cristo. Saíó the man was prospecting out there for a bluff. Said: 'He's got a beard now, but I know him by his nose and eyes.' Bughouse he must 'a been. Saíd his name was Peters." Smith stumbled appreciatively in his speech. "You got the paper with you, Sam?" he asked, thickly, as if it was only to hid his confusion. Sam dug into a rear pocket. He fished out the dirty, creased paper that Peters had found in the shack. Smith took it and looked at it with interest. "Where's the lunger now, Sam?" "Shoveling coal or picking a harp, I don't know which." was the quick answer. "He cashed in immediately after making his spiel." Sam caught a glimpse of Smith's eyes as he spoke. "Cashed in?" said Smith, dumbly. Suddenly "Windy Sam" stepped back a yard and pointed his six-shooter very severely at the other. "By jing!" he roared, suddenly. "And' I would never have known it if the lunger hadn't mentioned the eyes. Put 'em up, Bud Warner, put 'em up high, an' don't try any of your gun tricks on me." But Bud Warner was not trying to play any tricks. He sat and looked straight at the sheriff. "You say he died, Sam?" he questioned, as if his credulity was taxed. "He died." Sam came up closer, with his gun still held out steadily before him. "He died; keep your hands up." "Sho," said the desperado, softly, as his guns were removed. "Sho" he said looking down the trail, "I was afraid he wouldn't stand it." never ascended to the brain and head. That education is alone the real education which "gets into the system," becomes an instrument in the hand, an equipment to the mind, a part of the nature, an addition to human powers, a development of the body and of the moral nature, the cultivation of the soul or the man spiritual.

ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT sth Vessel Was On the Way From = Barbara to Los Angeles With Other Members of the | Fleet. Los Angeles, Cal. June 7.—Five men were killed and ten injured on board the armored cruiser Tennessee at sea at eleven o'clock Friday when a boiler tube broke, hurling fragments of iron about the engine room and fill- ing it with scalding steam. The ac- cident happened an hour after the cruiser left Santa Barabara on her way with Six gther of the Pacific fleet to Los AngeleS ports. What meager details have been learned were gleaned from official wireless dispatches being transmitted from the squadron to the wireless stations at San Francisco. The cruiser was steaming at full speed when the explosion occurred, Dead: George Wood, water tender; Earl Boggs, fireman, second class; Adolph Reinghold, machinist helper, second class; George Merk, fireman, first class. Probably fatally injured: F. S. Field, fireman, second class; N. F. Exnates, first class fireman; E. J, Burns, coal passer; W. F, Burns, coal passer; J, J. Carroll, fireman of second class; T. P. Parsons, fireman, second class, slightly injured. Rear Admiral Sebree himself es- caped death or serious injury in the fated fire pit by a mere moment's time. He had left the room where the explosion occurred not 50 seconds be- fore the fatal blast. The admiral stood in the engine room adjoining the fire room with Chief Engineer Robertson and Capt. Howard. His first intimation ‘of the tragedy was as he mounted the ladder and a half naked fireman leaped past him suffer- ing from severe scalds, The force of the explosion was ter- rible and many of the injured are fatally hurt it is believed. Orders were flashed to Dr. W. A. Weldon, local marine surgeon at San Pedro, directing him to prepare for the car- ing of the injured sailors. According to the wireless dispatches, no officers were injured. The damage to the ship is not known at this time but it is likely that the boiler rooms of the ship have suffered seriously. The seamen will not be landed un- til Saturday morning when they will be taken ashore at San Pedro and brought to the marine hospital at Los Angeles where arrangements have al- ready been made to receive them. Several of the other cruisers of the fieet arrived at Long Beach, Redondo and other ports ahead of the Tennes- see, and it was evident that the ship had been considerably disabled by the accident. ‘The Tennessee is Admiral Sebree’s flagship, commanding the second di- vision of the Pacific fleet.

Peruna is not a nervine nor a Stimulant. It benefits the nerves by benefiting digestion.

They said that I had nervous dyspepsia, Twas put on a liquid diet for three months. “I improved under the treatment, but as soon as I stopped taking the medicine, I got bad again. “I saw a testimonial of a man whose: case was similar to mine being cured by Peruna, so I thought I would give it a trial. “I procured a bottle at once and commenced taking it, I have taken several bottles and am entirely cured.” ateatasna ITs isan t ois Paling Stn oe ee BRST GE sieve pment oer EPILEPTICIDE CURE ee eae eeentae of CORES cies FRESE wath Feeedesriacti sl aa Guaren wie AGAIN DECLINED WITH THANKS, Wette sac contin valent Fe con oe The editor looked up as the caller came forward, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Sir,” said the latter, “you ob- jected to the meter of the spring poem I submitted to you the other day.

It is regretted by all fair thinking citizens of Wichita that the school board of Wichita, through its president, Mr. Gauckenback, should again bring forth the separate school question to the minds of the public. In presenting his resolution the gentleman in question has no provocation on the part of the colored people of this city to give him a reason for doing so. According to the report of the schools during the last scholastic year is surpassed any previous year in every phase of school work and there was less friction between the children of both races than ever before—better deportment and higher grades among all. The only reason which is apparent for Mr. Gauckenback's resolution is a cheap desire of the gentleman to get some free newspaper notoriety at the expense of teh colored people of Wicata. In this he will be most signally disappointed.

We believe we speak the unbiased sentiment of th epeople of this city when we say that as this question has been settled by our Supreme Court no further steps should be taken to more widely open the breach which so unfortunately already exists among the races of Wichita. Let us live together in peace and harmony. All members of the H. H. of Ruth are urgently requested to meet on Tuesday afternoon, the 16th, as Mrs. Cora Yeager, D. M. N.

COLOR LINE IN CEMETERY. Few people know that Wichita has advanced so far in colorphobia that her cemetery association has established a line for burying the dead. As strange, gruesome and disgusting to fair thinking people as this may seem, yet it is a fact as was most humiliatingly demonstrated Monday of this week, when the infant of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Herman was buried in Highland cemetery. It seems that the undertaker telephoned to have an infant grave prepared and did not state the color of the deceased. The father and minister, Rev. H. I. Jones, accompanied the body to the cemetery and when the sexton found that it was a colored body he informed the grief-stricken father that the colored child could not be buried in teh already dug grave and the parents had to remain in their backs while another grave was dug in another part of the cemetery and the box taken out of the first grave and placed in the newly dug grave. In a savage uncivilized country the natives would refuse to believe that such an unchristian and uncivilized spirit existed in a land such as ours that boasts so loud about their refinement. But be it as disgusting as may be it is a fact. The American prejudice against the Negro goes even to the grave. Shame on such Christianity. Grand Master C. H. Milton Collins, of Kansas City, Kansas, Grand Master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Kansas arrived in the city Thursday to visit with the Grand Court.

THE ESSENCE OF ADVERTISEMENT BY DON MARK LEMON (Copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Co.) The proprietor and the general manager of Copeland's dry goods emporium were in consultation. There was a third party to the consultation, a dapper little bald-headed gentleman who, an hour before, had introduced himself as E. Dodge, the inventor of a new perfume called The Essence of Advertisement, which article he sought to introduce into a few select stores in San Francisco. The proprietor and the general manager had heard the little inventor out without showing him out. Indeed, they had listened with growing interest to his dissertation on the value of The Essence of Advertisement, and had agreed to order a heavy consignment of the perfume, should the sample prove a complete success. The little inventor-demonstrator was all confidence. Uncorking a quart bottle of the essence, he went through the store and sprinkled the counters with a slight quantity of the stuff. He also dashed some upon the threshold of the emporium doors and against the large plate glass windows without, as well as on the sidewalk itself, for, strange to say, the essence was not to be sold over the counter but was to be sprinkled about the bazaar. The fluid was as colorless as water, yet as fragrant as white violets, and soon the emporium was pervaded with its delicious penetrating odor. "You see, gentlemen," explained the little demonstrator, "all matter is spirit and all spirit is matter. Or, in other words, all things both physical and spiritual are one in their final element, and matter can be changed into spirit and spirit into matter. This Essence of Advertisement is materialized thought. By a certain secret process I collect the advertising thought of a number of men of advertising genius and force these thoughts into the perfume of violets, somewhat as gases are charged into natural mineral waters, and a breath of this prepared perfume, when drawn into the lungs, acts precisely the same upon the person inhaling it as a column of choice advertisements would act upon that person. Thus, by sprinkling the essence upon the counters and before the doors of the bazaar, every man and woman who comes within inhaling distance of the perfume is strongly inclined to purchase—and purchase heavily—those goods which you have on sale, exactly as one would be moved to purchase those goods immediately upon reading some masterly written advertisement. By evening your sales will attest in fat figures the perfect truth of my assertions." The proprietor drew a deep breath of the delicious violet fragrance, and patting the little inventor on the back, beamed graciously. "We shall see," he said. "We shall see." The cashier was perhaps the first that day to be aware of a sudden and excessive increase of trade at Copeland's dry goods emporium. Money poured into his office, not by the dimes and dollars but fives and twenties—a stream of gold—for in California coin, not paper, is still the everyday currency—ran towards the rear of the bazaar along the "change" wire, and returned a stream of silver. The counters were crowded with buyers, though no special bargains were on sale, and it seemed that every one who passed before the great show windows of the store stopped to admire, then hurried in to buy. Soon the tills were emptied of silver change, and the manager was called up and notified to that effect. He immediately reported to the proprietor the happy state of affairs. Beaming like a sunbeam in clover and dew, the proprietor received the news, rubbed his hands, patted the manager on the shoulder, and without a word of notice increased that gentleman's salary a hundred dollars a month. "It was the Essence of Advertise-ment that did the trick!" the manager felicitated himself. "What a lucky stroke it was that I listened to the little inventor and didn't turn him away, as I was about to do." The clerk sent out for that purpose brought in two large sacks of silver change, yet the cashier's office barely got through the day without sending for more silver, so heavy were the afternoon's sales. "Oh, what a delicious fragrance of violet!" exclaimed a certain lady patron, typical of all the bazaar's patrons, and turning to the solicitous salesman she ordered a dozen silk shirtwaists, whereas she had visited the store intending to purchase but one. "What a perfectly exquisite fragrance! It reminds me of when I was a happy, care-free little girl!" The next morning, when the inventor called to learn what success had attended his essence, he was met with wide-open arms. Policy would have cautioned the proprietor and the general manager to have received the little gentleman but inkewarmly, that they might beat down the cost of the perfume—which was $100 a quart—or forestall the price being advanced. But the stuff had proved such a brilliant success that these two gentlemen cast all policy to the wind, and when E. Dodge finally took his leave he had booked an order for $5,000 worth of the essence, with the one condition that for six months he should not sell any of the precious fluid to any other dry goods store in San Francisco. As the inventor had guaranteed, The Essence of Advertisement proved a success; a success so astonishing that within a week, and notwithstanding the fact that Copeland withdrew all of his customary heavy advertisements from the papers, he was forced to engage four additional buyers to keep his stock replenished, and he and his general manager felicitated themselves on having fallen into a bed of clover. But suddenly they found burrs in the clover. While thousands daily visited the bazaar and purchased heavily, the astounding fact was soon discovered that once having bought from the counters of the emporium the patron rarely returned. Could it be that the Essence, while crowding the store with transient custom, was driving away all steady patronage? A letter was hastily written to Mr. E. Dodge, laying the facts before him and asking for advice. Two weeks later the advice came. It was as follows: Martin Copeland, Proprietor Copeland's Dry Goods Emmurium: Emporium: Dear Sir: The reason why patrons, once having purchased at your store, rarely return, is to be explained by the fact that you are using the Essence of Advertisement in too pure a state. I send you herewith a recipe for its dilution; have a druggist attend to the matter at once. There is such a thing as over-advertising. When your customers breathe the Essence in too pure a state, they are incited to buy more goods than they are, and as soon as you untuck the bazaar and come from under the spell of the perfume they repent their heavy purchases, and, out of chagrin, do not return. The remedy is to dilute the Essence according to the recipe inclosed, and while your sales will fall off somewhat, they will show a much healthier perfume. Very truly. On receipt of this letter of advice, the general manager immediately sent out a clerk with a quart of The Essence of Advertisement, instructing him to have the stuff diluted according to directions at the nearest drug-gist. Slipping on an orange peel before a rival store, the clerk split the vial, and the contents ran over the sidewalk. Immediately all the passers by in that neighborhood began to pour into the rival store, and the uncree dented sales of that house, while the odor of the perfume lasted, astounded and mystified the proprietor. This unfortunate clerk was immediately discharged, and another was sent out with a second bottle of the Essence. He proved more fortunate, or less careless, and thereafter the diluted perfume only was used at Copeland's, and though sales were not as heavy as formerly, they showed a far healthier state, customers not failing to return to the bazaar when in need of new goods. Copeland's Dry Goods Emporium now became enviously noted for the amazing amount of steady business that it was doing, and for the exquisite violet fragrance that haunted its shelves, and counters, and other stores, hoping thereby to attract custom, began to imitate the latter novelty. But the fragrance they used was merely the ordinary violet perfume of commerce and not the marvelous Essence of Advertisement, and of course these imitators had their cost and labor for nothing. Six months passed, and his stock of Essence growing alarmingly low, Copeland wrote to the headquarters of E. Dodge in New York city for a $110,000 consignment of the precious fluid. Within three weeks his order returned, the envelope thereof bearing the official stamp, Party Dead. "Good heavens!" exclaimed the alarmed proprietor, "Dodge is dead, and perhaps his secret died with him!" And so it proved. The little inventor or had sunk into an untimely grave taking with him a jewel brighter than the Star of India, for in his death was lost the secret of that marvelous compound, The Essence of Advertisement. Among the scanty effects by the deceased was a yellow, ragged slip of paper, bearing the following memorandum: Hemp-seed-makes men dream dreams, Optium-ditto, Absinthe-certain (different) effects. There ought to be-may be-plant-mineral-mis somewhere (try India) which-eaten-tasted-smelt-will incite men-men-to spend money-lavishly-leedlessly. If I can find this plant-mineral-can mix with petroleum-p perfume-sprinkle in stores-patrons smell-buy heavily-freely-advertisement. Here the writing ended, torn away, Copeland reflected. Was The Essence of Advertisement the materialized thoughts of men of advertisent genius, or something quite different, and though less wonderful and mysterious, not less effective and valuable? Small Farms in Denmark. Denmark has nearly 200,000 farms and farm gardens of ten acres or less and about 100,000 farms of between ten and fifteen acres. There are less than 1,000 farms in the entire kingdom of 500 acres or over, the aggregate of these last named being less than a million acres. There are 1,055 cooperative dairies, with 158,170 members, and a co-operative egg exporting society with 500 local centers. The business transacted by these co-operative concerns is enormous.—Indiana Farmer. USE FOR THE STALE BREAD. Remnants Always Available for Soup and "Pickup" Dishes. Croutons.—Are always in good form with cream soups, and afford an excellent way for using stale bread. Cut stale bread in one-third inch slices and remove the crusts. Spread thinly with butter. Cut slices in one-third inch cubes, put in a shallow pan, and bake until delicately, browned, stirring occasionally and watching carefully that the crumbs may brown evenly. Hyde Park Brown Bread.—Break stale bread into small pieces; there should be one and one-half cupfuls. Add two cupfuls of cold water, cover and let stand over night. In the morning rub through a colander, and add three-fourths of a cupful of molasses and one and one-half cupfuls each of rye meal, granulated cornmeal and graham flour mixed and sifted with three teaspoonfuls of soda and one and one-half teaspoonful of salt; then add one and one-fourth cupfuls of cold water. Stir until well mixed and fill one pound baking powder tins two-thirds full of the mixture, cover, and let steam two hours. Mock Bisque Soup—To three-fourths of a cupful of stale bread crumbs add four cupfuls of milk, half an onion, stick with six cloves, a sprig of parsley, and a bit of bay leaf. Cook in a double boiler until the milk is scalded, then remove the seasonings and rub the mixture through a sieve. Cook half a can of tomatoes with two teaspoonfuls of sugar 15 minutes, then add one-fourth of a teaspoonful of soda, and rub through a sieve. Reheat the bread and milk to the boiling point, add the tomato, and pour it into a tureen over one-third of a cupful of butter, one-half teaspoon of salt, and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Ham Timbales—Add one cupful of milk to one cupful of stale bread crumbs, and cook, stirring constantly until a smooth paste is formed. Add one cupful of cold boiled ham finely chopped, and season with three and one-half tablespoonfuls of butter and salt and pepper to taste; then add the white of two eggs beaten until stiff. Fill buttered individual molds two-thirds full of the mixture, put in a pan, half surround with hot water, cover with buttered paper, and bake in a moderate oven 20 minutes or until firm. Remove from the molds to a hot serving dish and garnish with slices of hard boiled eggs and parsley. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Tarnished silverware is brightened if placed in buttermilk for two hours and washed in hot suds. Men's worn linen collars, cut into narrow strips, furnish convenient substitutes for the wax tapers used in gas lighters. The pulverized washing powders last much longer if used from a talcum powder shaker. A baking-powder can with holes punched through the lid may be utilized for the purpose. Buy a strip of asbestos cloth and use small squares to interline your ironholders. Keep a good-sized piece fastened to your ironing board to save the sheet, and lay a square under the table pad where the meat platter rests. Surprise Potatoes. Select large, smooth potatoes and bake them in a very hot oven. When tender cut off the end of each and with a spoon scoop out into a heated bowl, taking care not to break the skins. Put through a ricer or mash until smooth, and for every three potatoes add one large teaspoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of cream and salt and pepper to taste. When well beaten stir in lightly the stiffly whipped white of an egg and refill the skins. Put on the covers and place in a brisk oven long enough to make very hot. Orange Jelly. To five sweet, ripe oranges add one tangerine or mandarin, with the rind and pulp of a seventh sour orange. Slice the fruit whole, removing the seeds. Add one cup cold water and cook until juice and water have simmered down to a scant cupful, then strain. Measure and heat, and allow an equal amount of sugar. Heat the juice to the boiling point, add the sugar, stir until dissolved, cook 20 minutes, then pour into molds. Fish Suggestions. Vinegar is better than ice for keeping fish, and a fish often improves in flavor by putting a little vinegar on it. Vinegar added to the water for boiling any kind of fish, except salt fish, hardens the flesh and is a great improvement. While baking fish should be laid on strips of salt pork, as this not only improves the fish but keeps it from sticking, also. Keep Vegetables Green. No, every one knows that all vegetables grown under the ground—potatoes, turnips, carrots and onions—should be put to cook in cold water, while those grown on top of the ground should have boiling water poured over them, especially green things such as peas, beans, spinach and corn. If left uncovered they retain their fresh, green look. **Ragout of the Breast of Veal.** Separate the joints of the brisket and trim the meat, put it to bake with a little water, baste it with butter and water. Make a gravy by boiling the trimmings of the meat in a little water; thicken with flour and butter, and serve with the meat when done.

Do those Merry Widow hats cost as much as they are big? That Chicago baby with a $1,000 candle will have to have a $100 rattle to go with it, of course. South Africa is adopting American machinery, with the exception of the American political machine. Looking at the price of wheat reminds us that if we were a farmer we shouldn't complain of hard times. "I wish to preserve my life from the importunity of fools," says Mme. Anna Gould. Now, isn't she near-sighted? Some of Britain's most cherished theories are liable to become warped before its troubles in India are over. Automobilists, of course, can not notch their guns, for guns are forbidden. But they might keep a record on the side of the car. Blessed, blessed season; all to brief, when it is no longer necessary to run the furnace fire, and the lawn doesn't require to be mowed! Japan's emperor has given Comm. Okuma $15,000 for Waseda university. This kind of competition brings a smile to the face of Mr. Rockefeller. The poem that has been parodied the most is the one about Mary's little lamb. Next comes Whittier's "Martha Muller." Next comes Kipling's "Danny Deever." Though President Roosevelt is going abroad for two years when he is through being president, let nobody get the idea that he will be at sea any of the time. According to a certain scientist, a sure recipe for long life is to also lately abstain from eating meat. How ever, this will not mean a long life for the beef trust. Modernity and antiquity meet in old ways. The oldest house in the United States, the one at St. Augustine, Flail built in 1565, has been turned into a garage for automobiles. Anna Gould and Prince Helle are described as walking about, hand in hand. After the marriage the prince will expect something of more commercial value than a hand in his hand. And now the Merry Widow bug has been discovered. But a good many people have been Merry Widow "bugged" for some time, judging by the way they have been rushing into print upon the subject. Wu Ting-fang says that he has to ken 20 years off his age and curse himself of various ills by a vegetarian diet. Has Mr. Wu no regard for the interests of his countrymen's flourishing chop suey business? Every new fashion and fashion has the attendant physical ailment. The latter is the "Merry Widow" neck, a sprained condition of his countrymen's flourishing monstrosity in question in a mirror at once. A Philadelphia physician says the ailment is common in that city. In an attempt to fast 40 days, a man succeeded in starving himself to death in 31 days. His purpose was to prove that the mind controls the body. At great religious teachers and philosphers have already proved this, and a sound knowledge of their noble demonstrations should forbid such its noble experiments. If women's headgear grows much bigger as the season advances, not only will it be required to remove it in churches and theaters, but a patient, man-controlled government, says the Providence Journal, will be driven to exercise its police powers to order its abatement on the urban thoroughfears, in order that the troglodytes car get by. ---
