Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky; like a mighty storm in the midst of storm; the news of the death of Mr. H. Young, early Saturday morn- THE LATE G. H. YOUNG. (From an Old Photo.) THE LATE G. H. YOUNG. (From an Old Photo.) ng. Nov. 14, spread over Wichita like liffire. So shocking, so surprising, awe-stricken were the people, that first it seemed impossible; seemed nightmare; a dream. All day Saturday people flocked to the Young violence, 601 N. Maln, in hope pernance to find their news at error, but, all who went soon learned too well, and with sadness to, that Geo. Young, the man of the hour yesterday, is no more today. He had exchanged time for eternity; he had given up mortality and taken on mortality; his soul had flown back up to the keeping of its creator—he has gone. Mr. Young was about town attending his business affairs up to Friday night. He seemed in his usual health and those who came in contact with him Thursday and Friday noticed a sign that would indicate the earliness of his demise. In Friday night attended class meeting at the A. M. church and took his usual interest in the services. After services after sitting a while with a few about the church he went to his home. Shortly after getting home, however, he combined of being ill. A doctor was commended and everything possible in the medical science was done to prognose his useful life, but all in vain. His Master had called and he had to answer. Few men there are in our city whose death would cause more general sorrow than will that of Geo. Young. His long residence and activity in Wichita had made him well known and by his fatherly regard for his fellowman, his kindness of nature had built around himself a nuclease of friends and acquaintances. A Master Mason for thirty-six years; a generous church worker for thirty years, he was well known in the circle societies. For years Mr. Young followed his trade of cook and in that he was a success, having cooked most of the leading hotels in Chicago. St. Lolus, Kansas Cty, Denver, and other large cities. Mr. Young lived his money and invested it in Wichita real estate and for a number of years has been one of the heavy tax-ayers of our city. At one time he owned four houses on N. Water street, beside some realty on Wichita street, three years ago, however, Mr. Young saw the great need of a public hall for colored people and he erected the beautiful white brick building corner Elm and Main street, where most of the meeting of the colored people are held. His building will stand as a monument of the frugality and industry of H. Young. As a Mason Mr. Young had filled every position in the subordinate lodge and Grand Senior Warden in Kansas and also in Colorado. Geo. Henry Young was born in Independence, Mo., Aug. 10, 1847, and remained in his native clime till about 10 years of age when he moved to Leavenworth, Kans., about 1865, where he lived for 20 years. He came to Wichita in 1886 and made this city his home till the day of his death. On Dec. 7, 1891, he married Mrs. M. A. Lawson in this city who survives him. They were united in marriage by Rev. N. C. Buren, then pastoring in the city. He leaves a wife, four children, Mannie and Dora Young, Mrs. H. C. Smith of Tuskegee, Ala., and William Lawson of Chicago, and two grand children, Anna Smith and Gladys Young, and a host of warm friends. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church Wednesday afternoon under the auspices of Arkansas Valley Lodge No. 21, A. F. A. M. Out of respect for the deceased Princess Chapter No. 12, and Mt. Olive Court No. 9, Palatine Commandery and the Royal Chapter all of which he was a member, paid fitting tribute to his memory. The spiritual services were conducted by Rev. Jas. T. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. church, assisted by Rev. W. H. Tillman, Rev. E T Fishback, pastor of New Hope; Rev. G. W. Smith, pastor of the Second Baptist and Rev. J. W. Sanders. Floral offerings were presented that would have done fitting honor to the memory of any. All join in extending to the bereaved family their heartfelt sympathy. RECOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE By St. Paul A. M. E. Church, in Memory of Broth Geo. H. Young. Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, at his own appointed time to have called from amongst us our beloved brother, Geo. H. Young, whose soul on Saturday morning, Nov. 14th, 1908, took its flight to the God who gave it—a God who doeth all things well, and Whereas, During his lifetime our deceased brother was a devoted, a faithful, a conscientious and a dutiful member of our church and by his daily Christian walk, by his ardent Christian labor, by his valued counsel, by his financial aid he worked continuously as a good and faithful servant in his Master's vineyard; now, therefore, Be It Resolved, By the pastor, the officers and members of St. Paul A. M. E. church, that we feel keenly the death of our dear departed brother and member. His place in our church can never be supplied. We deply mourn for him. But we bow in humble submission to the will of our Master and our God. Though dead, yet he shall live, in that land of eternal bliss. Be It Resolved, further, that we offer to the bereaved family of our deceased brother, G. H. Young, our most reverenced, heartfelt and sincere words of sympathy—we know they have lost a kind father, a dutiful husband and friend, as we have lost a sincere member. And resolve, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the face of the records of this church, a copy be sent the bereaved family, and a copy published in our race papers. With humble obedience to our Maker we submit this testimony of respect to our deceased. JAS. T. SMITH, Pastor. THOS. GLOVEP, M. J. DANCY, E. LANDRUMS, Trustees. W. C. NEELY, THOS. W. FINE, J. W. THOMPSON, A. PAUL, W. N. MILLER, PUTTING UP CITRON NEW METHOD THAT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES. Time Saved and Fruit Turned Out in Better Condition—Directions for Making the Old-Fashioned Preserves. The old-fashioned way of putting up citron was to boil it in. weak alum way of putting up it in weak alum water until tender and green, then in clear water to extract the taste of the alum, and lastly in cold water to crisp it before the preserving be- water until tender and green, then in clear water to extract the taste of the alum, and lastly in cold water to crisp it before the preserving was begun. The up-to-date method does away with the preliminaries. Cut off the green peel from the citron and cut in slices about an inch thick. Remove the seeds, then slice in squares or any fancy shape desired. Allow to each pound of citron three-fourths of a pound of sugar, one lemon and a small strip of green ginger. Put the sugar in the preserving kettle with water to make a sirup, and when boiling add the citron, a chipped yellow peel of lemon, taking care not to get in a bit of the bitter white pith, then the lobes of lemon, cut in thin slices, and the ginger. Cook slowly for several hours, until tender, then add a sprinkling of raisins, cook until the raisins are puffed, then pour in sterilized cans and seal. A couple of fresh peach leaves added to the sirup while cooking give a fine green color to the preserves, but should be removed before putting in the jars. Should you prefer the old-fashioned preserves, here are directions for their making: Peel and core the citron, cut into strips and cut the edges. Soak over night in strongly salted water. In the morning soak in clear cold water, changing until freshened. Parboil ten minutes in water with a teaspoonful of powdered alum, Drain and weigh. To every four pounds of fruit allow three pounds of sugar, a lemon, an ounce of preserved or candied ginger or an ounce of green ginger root boiled in a pint of water until its flavor has been extracted. In this case use the water in which the root was cooked as well as the ginger. Make a sirup, allowing a pint of water to each pound of sugar. Boil and skim, then add the citron, cooking gently until clear and tender. Drain the fruit from the sirup and put on plates to harden. In the morning cut the lemon in thin slices and cook in water to cover until tender. Put the sirup on to boil, adding the lemon and water, if not bitter, the sliced ginger and the citron. Cook until thoroughly heated, and turn into jars and seal. Raisins seeded and cooked in the sirup may be added if desired. A Supper Salad. A toothsome salad may be arranged of fruit and lettuce for a little supper after the theater or for any informal evening occasion. Cups are made out of the heart of lettuce and in each is put sliced pears, apples, bananas and walnuts, covered with mayonnaise or French dressing. It can be prepared beforehand and put into the refrigerator to chill. It should be served cold on dainty little plates. With it have sandwiches made of thin slices of graham bread covered with French dressing and boiled red Spanish peppers with celery chopped up and put under the peppers. Nice for Luncheon. Beat the white of one egg until stiff, add two cups of granulated sugar, one cup chopped nuts and one-half cup raisins. Stir all well. Then spread the mixture on the large sized oyster crackers, or square soda wafers if preferred. Place these in a warm oven until brown on top. Delicious for luncheon or afternoon tea; good warm or cold. Cheese Entree. To one pint of fresh cottage cheese add one-quarter cup each of broken walnut meat, candied cherries and pineapple, rmx thoroughly, then take up nicely rounded spoonfuls of the mixture, and place on leaves of crisp lettuce (one spoonful for each individual serving). Lastly cover with mayonnaise dressing and serve. Irish Cows Good Milkers Irish cows yield from 300 gallons of milk to over 1,000. In one case the yield was 1,469 gallons. FOR COFFEE THAT IS GOOD. Beverage Easy to Prepare If Directions Are Followed. The secret of good coffee is an immaculately clean coffee pot, fresh boiling water and good material. It is better to pay a little more for your coffee and use less in quantity than would be necessary in the cheaper grades. The coffee pot should be thoroughly washed and scalded after every meal and coffee never allowed to stand in it. If it gets discolored, put a little baking soda in it once a week or so, fill with cold water and let it come to the boiling point. Take care that the spout and strainer are perfectly cleaned. Rinses and dry thoroughly. Unlike most cooking utensils which do better work when their newness has worn off, a coffee pot is better when new, whether made of tin, granite ware, nickel or aluminum. Many good housekeepers advocate frequent renewals from the ten-cent store, discarding the old coffee pots as soon as they become discolored and strong. These are better in the end than the most expensive coffee percolator that is not kept immaculate. The time-honored rule for making coffee is a tablespoonful for each person and one for the pot. Put the coffee in the clean pot, pour in a few spoonfuls of cold water to wet it, add a clean, freshly-broken egg shell if you have it, or a teaspoonful of the white of egg, pour on the boiling water and let it just come to the boil. Take away from the fire, give a second shake or stir the grounds down, then replace and let it come again just to the boil. Do this three times in succession, then push back on the stove to settle and clear. Some persons prefer to make the coffee by the cold water method. In this case cover the coffee with the required amount of cold water, allow it to reach the boiling point, then proceed as before. The coffee must not be allowed to boil hard, but merely reach the boiling point each time. If not perfectly clear when ready to serve, pour in a tablespoonful of cold water. Apple Bread. Make up two quarts of dough as if for rusks; when it is light roll out a cake of it, half an inch thick; spread stewed apples over it and over that another cake rolled like the first; put in a pan to lighten for a short time; bake it; have some thin slices of stewed apples, tender, when the cake is baked; lay these apples all over the top, sprinkle them well with sugar, some small bits of butter, and either cinnamon or nutmeg; put it back in the oven long enough for the sugar to form a coating on the top; take it out, and when cold slice it up. This is an excellent bread for tea. Chocolate Walnuts. One cup sugar, two squares chocolate (melted), two eggs (beat white and yolks separately), one cup milk (sweet or sour), four cups flour, one teaspoon soda (level), one teaspoon vanilla extract, one cup walnuts (broken, but not too fine), one pinch salt. Mix in order given above. Roll out into quarter-inch thickness and cut with small round cutter (top of a salt shaker may be used); fry in deep fat a number at a time, and as soon as they rise to the top stir with long fork so that they will cook evenly. When cool roll in powdered sugar. Rice and Apple Pudding. One cup of rice, boiled in enough water to leave it moist. When done add pinch of salt and a heaping tablespoonful of butter. Put in baking dish layer of rice, then layer of tart cooking apples, sugar and a little nutmeg; then layer of rice and so on until dish is full, the last layer being of apples. Bake till apples are cooked. Serve with cream or the following sauce: One tablespoonful cornstarch, one cup sugar, one heaping tablespoonful of butter and one pint of boiling milk or water; cook till slightly thickened; flavor with nutmeg. Lemon Queen Cake On and a half cupfuls of sugar, half a cupful of butter, half a cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, three eggs beaten separately, rind and juice of one lemon and $1 \frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat butter and eggs till light and creamy; add yolks, lemon rind and juice; next flour and baking powder; then milk, and beat well. Add whites, well beaten, last of all. Paper your pan, bake three-quarters of an hour. This recipe was recently received from a Vermont housekeeper nearly 90 years of age. DR. WASHINGTON IN PROVIDENCE Addresses Institute of Education at Brown University. "NEGRO EDUCATION" Discussed by Educator. Rhode Island Teachers Hear of Progress in Industrial Education. Providence, Nov. 9.—Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed a large gathering at Sayles Hall, Brown University. Friday evening, at a session of the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction. President Faunce, of Brown University, presided. Dr. Washington's address; "In speaking to you today on 'Some Results of Industrial Education' I hope you will keep in mind that I am speaking of education in the larger and broader sense as well as in the narrower and class room sense. The world is interested in results. Sometimes at the Tuskegee Institute in achieving these results we use the class room; sometimes a farm twenty miles from the class room; sometimes we use a textbook on arithmetic; sometimes a trowel; sometimes a text-book in grammar, or an acre of land planted in turnips. I should advocate for the masses of any race, who are in the same relative stage of civilization that the rank and file of the Negro race is in this country today. "From he beginning of the Tuskegee Institute up to the present time—and the same is true of the Hampton Institute in Virginia—we have kept in mind the actual needs and condition of the masses of the Negro people. We have tried as best we could to study their condition and their needs and then adapt our educational system and efforts to meeting and improving these conditions. We have tried to do so regardless of whether the same thing has been done in any other part of the world, or in these same way, or whether the same thing was done after the same manner a hundred years ago. "Very largely through the efforts of the students themselves at Tuskegee we have built up a plant consisting of 2300 acres of land, 96 buildings, 36 industries, and all having a money value of about $950,000. This plant within itself has value, but the greatest value has come to the students and to the Negro race from the effort pua forth on the part of the students in creating this plant. Out of this effort has come training in skill, training in the habits of application, training in self-dependence, self-help and high moral character. "For any race, regardless of color, just emerging from a state of bondage to a state of freedom, it is mighty important in the evolution of that race that it be taught as soon as possible, especially while it is getting the experience in its early life, to keep its feet upon the earth—to not yield to the impation to fly into artificial atmosphere. The teaching of the young Negroes in the South to keep their feet on the earth, to keep in touch with the soil, to keep in touch with wood and iron and the real things of life, has been far-reaching and most helpful in its influence. The results of this kind of teaching will show themselves much more in the future than in the immediate present. "Then, too, for a race just coming out of slavery, it was mighty important that at many large centres in the south the race should have that education which should teach it the dignity of labor, the same lessons that teh early settlers of New England learned years ago, the same lessons in regard to labor which have made the present generation of people who inhabit New England strong, powerful and useful citizens. The Negro, like any other race, needs its professional men, needs men with college and university education, but back of these and around these it NO 35. needs an intelligent, thrifty, skilful, producing class who look upon all kinds of idleness as disgraceful. "More and more in the future than in the past, in my opinion, the educational world is going to appreciate the fact that work with the hands has a mental training or mind value as well as economic value. No one can watch the unfolding and strengthening of the mind of the student at Tuskegee who receives systematic hand training without being convinced of the mental value of this kind of education. I wish you could see at Tuskegee on commencement day the student on the commencement platform, before his parents, friends and students, describing in his commencement oration how he planted and worked and harvested an acre of turnips. I wish you could see them on the commencement platform and hear his intelligent, logical and interesting description of what he has accomplished, and then I am sure that you would agree with me that this kind of education has mental value; and on commencement day, especially, it has the additional value and additional interest of giving the student an opportunity to talk about something that both he and his audience understand and appreciate. "On our commencement platform last May it may have been a little unusual to see an actual wagon upon the stage, but when I tell you that the plan of this wagon was drawn by the student, that he had created it in its work in wood, in iron, in painting and general finish, and then add to this his intelligent description of the processes of creating this wagon, processes demanding an accurate knowledge of mathematics and of physics, you will be more impressed, I think, and agree with me that that kind of training has mental value. "Most of all it has a moral value. No matter how much knowledge one may have in the head, without an economic foundation, without the ability to do something which the community in which he lives actually wants done and is willing to pay for, there is likely to develop moral weakness in the case of the individual. Mere mental training alone increases ones wants, increases his sensitiveness. It is mighty important that along with mental development there go a training which will enable the individual to supply his increased wants by being able to do something that the place in which he lives actually wants done. "Despite what you may hear to the contrary, despite exciting and conflicting reports that you hear from the south, industrial education has a tremendous value in helping us to settle righteously our race problem. I was never more convinced of this fact than I am today, since I have been spending a week traveling through the states of Mississippi and Arkansas, making an actual investigation as to the relations of the races. The north often hears of the worst things that take place in the south regarding the relations of the races; it rarely hears of the best things that take place. Despite all the discouraging reports that you have heard, for example of the state of Mississippi I question whether we can find an equal number of black people anywhere in America who are making such tremendous progress, educationally, morally and economically, as is true of these hundreds of thousands in Mississippi. "The man living outside of Mississippi is likely to get the idea that the race has not white friends in that state. This is a great mistake. I met hundreds of white men and white women who not only expressed their interest in the education and in the development of the Negro race, but I had opportunity at nearly every point where I touched to see for myself what these strong, courageous, liberal-minded white people were doing for the development of the race. I found that true in Mississippi which is true throughout the world, that just in proportion as the Negro by reason of his skill and integrity was able to make himself of use in the community in which he liv- THE SEARCHLIGHT.

THEY SHOULD BE IN THE CITY. The ordinance introduced in the city council Monday night which has for its object to include the two packing houses within the city limits is a move in the right direction. There is no reasonable excuse that can be produced why the packing houses, any more than any other corporation or individual, should be allowed to escape their burden of the city's expense. The tax payers of Wichita owe the packing houses nothing, while on the other hand the packing houses owe their existence and their maintenance to the people of this city. The tax payers voted a small size fortune to each of them and while the packing houses get fire, police and other protection at the city's expense yet for some unknown cause the packing houses are relieved of city taxes. It is time the people were voting out of office city officials who continue to favor wealthy corporations such as the packing houses, at the expense of the city. This hog-wash of how great a benefit the packing houses are to a town is all bosh. Whenever the packing houses do not earn the amount of money necessary to make them richer, they close up shop or move to some other point. A poor laboring man who owns one lot and who works at the packing houses for scanty wages must take part of his hard earnings and pay taxes while the rich packing house who skin the people daily with exorbitant and shamefull prices for their product are allowed to go scott free from paying city taxes. It is time the people were getting busy and asking its councilmen a few pointed questions along this line. Let the packing houses pay their share of the taxes. PLEASED ALL. The funeral sermon delivered by Rev. Jas. P. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. church at the funeral of the late Mr. Geo. H. Young.

The following subjects discussed in the Baptist young people's prayer meetings the past week were very inspiring. "Jacob's Example in Prayer;" "Five Thousand Feb;" "A young man trained in the Scriptures;" "The ten lepers;" "Cause for Spiritual Rejoicing." There were shouts and much rejoising during the week. The tide of interest along financial lines among the young people is high at this writing and much encouraging. So much so that it has increased the interest and enthusiasm of the lod who have been so faithful the past year. The C. Y. M. A. held their first grand reception and entertainment last Monday evening in Odd Fellows Hall and made a grand hit. Much credit is due Mr. Wm. Coleman, president of the C. Y. M.

The most important question for the public library is "What books shall we buy?" In many towns the reading committee is a recognized adjunct of the library, and the librarian has the rudiment of several different minds for aid in his task of selecting new books. Most of the voluntary readers are likely to be women, and the service they render the community is a real one, if their judgment and taste are sound. On the other hand, a complaisant commendation of a book as "very interesting" may do actual harm when the book lies in the debatable land between bad and good—the land of current fiction and trashy juveniles. A great meeting of English librarians recently set forth some general principles which should help determine the desirability of books, says the Youth's Companion. First, they declared the notion exploded that a taste for good reading develops from reading poor books. The very contrary is true. The habit of reveling in cheap fiction is destructive of a wholesome pleasure in sound reading. The love of books, like the love of virtue, feeds in high, clean, sweet pastures, not in refuse, and not even on husks. Again, the demand for certain books does not require the public library to supply them. It is a specious argument that the taxpayers' money should answer the taxpayers' desire. More than 60 per cent. of the books drawn from public libraries are works of fiction. The thin, tasteless stream of modern fiction is too often the library's chief offering to the community. Certain libraries adopt the rigorous measure of buying no fiction until it is a year old. The librarians agreed that the rule is an excellent one, if it is slightly elastic in its actual application. At all events, the helpful advisory reader for the public library is the man or woman who believes that in proportion as a good book is a blessing, a poor book is a curse. It seems incredible that in so civilized a country as Italy a man can have remained in prison untried for 38 years. Yet the government is about to dispose of a case which has been pending since 1870. On September 18 of that year two boys, aged 11 and eight years, started for a gunsmith's with their father's pistol to be repaired. On the way they quarreled, and the elder shot the younger, probably by accident. The elder was arrested by the papal authorities, then the rulers of Rome; but before he could be brought to trial the temporal power of the pope was taken away. By 1882 the new power in Rome had reached the case and was ready to try it, but the death penalty was abolished about this time, and this caused fresh delay. Now, if he is so fortunate, the boy, now a middle-aged man, will either be discharged from custody or be formally punished. At the present rate of progress in shipbuilding new terms will have to be devised to describe adequately the marine monsters. "Leviathans of the deep" seems a tame expression when applied to some of the new craft. Two now under construction will be, 1,000 feet in length and of 60,000 tons displacement. That means 238 feet longer than the Lusitania and Mauretania and nearly double the carrying capacity of those ships. The Spanish armada lives in history as one of the great naval forces. Yet the entire tonnage of the armada was 59,120, or considerably less than that of one of the new steamers. Modern skill in naval construction, with the improved means of generating and applying power, makes these seeming miracles posi- There is no doubt that most people in their teeth and digestive system take food at too high a temperature. One cannot get into a hot bath it is over 112 degrees; 105 degrees dangerous, and even 100 degrees is warm. But from experiments made it appears that we eat meat at 115 degrees temperature, beans at 132 degrees, potatoes at 150 degrees. The average temperature of tea is 135 degrees, and it may be sipped, but cannot be swallowed in large quantities it exceeds 142 degrees.

FOR FREE PHILIPPINE SUGAR Secretary of War Wright Talks for Removal of Duty on Sugar From the Islands—Beet Sugar Men Oppose. Washington, Nov. 18.—The allegation that the so-called "sugar trust" controls the price paid the grower and the price charged the consumer, the secretary of war putting himself on record as a champion of free entry for Philippine sugar, and the general "stand-pat" attitude of the beet sugar growers who appeared before the ways and means committee of the house, were the features of Monday's hearing on the revision of the tariff as it would affect sugar. Secretary of War Luke E. Wright and Gen, Clarence Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, were present. It was shortly after the afternoon session was bgun that Chairman Payne asked Secretary Wright if he cared to make any remarks. The former governor of the islands said: "We are now having an investigation made in the Philippines regarding the cost of production in the islands and other matters relating to the question. From what I have just heard, the principal objection by the beet sugar growers to the admission free of duty of Philippine sugar lies in the danger that these markets will be inundated by the Philippine article. "It is not possible that the Philippine islands could supply the actual increase in demand for sugar, year by year, in the United States. In that case there is no reason why the islands should affect the market until the beet and cane sugar produced within the tariff wall increases 1,800,000 tons. Before the beet sugar industry is in the slightest danger it must increase from 440,000 tons annually to 2,100,000 tons and from annual reports it would take 50 years to do this. Chairman Payne indicated that the possible action of the committee with regard to the sugar schedule would be to recommend that a certain amount of the sugar be admitted free of duty each year, and that the present tariff be imposed on any above that amount. He told Secretary Wright that the menace, if any, was from the Cuban sugar, which enjoys a reduction in the tariff of 20 per cent. He also intimated that the Philippine tariff was so important a question that it might not be considered being strictly a part of the work of revising the Dingley tariff, but would be taken up separately. Secretary Wright said that the production of sugar in the Philippines would not increase to any extent. The beet sugar people say that the American Sugar Refining company has no interest in their factories," said the secretary, referring to the so-called "trust," "yet three years ago they said a trustee understood to represent the American Sugar Refining company, owned 51 per cent of the stock of all the beet sugar factories. That may be the reason why the beet sugar industry in this country has not grown rather than the importation of Cuban sugar. There has been no reduction in the prices of sugar in a number of years." Must Believe in Deity of Christ. Wichita, Kan., Nov. 18.—At the meeting of the Wichita Ministerial association Monday an amendment providing that all pastors should be excluded from membership who did not believe in the deity of Christ was introduced and discussed. It was determined that a vote would not be taken for four weeks on the proposition. Under the present conditions all pastors of evangelical churches are eligible. The proposed amendment will exclude Unitarians and Universalists. Bishops Still in Topeka. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 18.—The work of apportioning the appropriations made by the Methodist Episcopal church for missions and church extension work proved so much greater than was anticipated that Monday night, the time set for the end of the meeting, found much of the work incomplete and the sessions will be prolonged till some time Tuesday or Wednesday. A number of the bishops in attendance who had urgent business left Monday night. Kansas Tuberculosis Congress Called. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 18—Gov. Hoch Monday issued a call for a state tuberculosis congress to be held here December 2 to discuss ways and means of eradicating the disease. This is in accordance with a suggestion by Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health, made several days ago. Ardmore Will Not Tax Factories. Ardmore, Ok., Nov. 18.—By a majority of ten to one the citizens of Ardmore Tuesday in a special election voted to exempt from taxation for five years manufactories establishing plants in the city. The question of the adoption of the commission form of government was also carried by an immense majority. LESE MAJESTE?

HENEY IMPROVING SAN FRANCISCO GRAFT PROSE CUTOR MAKING GOOD PROG- RESS TOWARD RECOVERY. ASSASSIN KILLED HIMSELF Pute Bullet Through Head In Cell While Under Guard—Graft Cases to be Pushed With Renewed Vigor. San Francisco, Nov. 17.—The condition of Francis J. Heney is still most satisfactory and the attending surgeon's report that he is making excellent progress on the road to recovery. He passed a comfortable night, sleeping most of the time, and rested easily Sunday. Although the bullet has been located embedded in the left jaw about an inch in front of the ear, the surgeons have decided not to extract it until Mr. Heney gains more strength. The swelling in the throat is less than at any time since the patient was taken to the hospital and he is breathing normally. Mrs. Heney spent an hour Sunday in the examination room of the hospital while the surgeons were removing grains of powder from her husband's face and head. While this was going on the wounded man sat upon the table and made jocular remarks. When told of the mass meeting held Saturday night at Dreamland runk Mr. Heney showed great interest and on being informed that his assailant had taken his own life at the county jail he said: "It is too bad he did it before giving his reason for shooting me." Another X-ray photograph was taken in order to get a different view from those taken Saturday. The suicide of Morris Haas, who tried to assassinate the noted prosecutor, was the subject of much discussion Sunday and the police authorities were engaged in trying to ascertain how Haas was able to have concealed the pistol with which he took his life, after he had been thoroughly serarched two or three times. Two theories were advanced. One was that he had the pistol hidden in his shoe from the time he attempted to kill Mr. Heney and it was overlooked by the police. The other theory, the one that the district attorney's office holds, is that the pistol was passed to Haas while he was confined with his wife and the police guard. Although Haas was in the county jail he was in charge of the police department. Were Not Perniciously Active. Washington, Nov. 18.—It was officially announced Tuesday that the charges of pernicious activity during the campaign just closed which were made against John A. Merritt, collector of customs at Niagara Falls, N. Y. and Archie D. Sanders, collector of internal revenue at Rochester, N. Y. were not sustained by the facts disclosed by a searching investigation and that the cases are closed. Would Bar Football From Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 18.—Alderman Kruger introduced in the city council Monday night the following: "Be it ordered, that the corporation counsel be, and is hereby directed, to prepare and submit to this council at its next meeting an ordinance prohibiting the playing of football in the city of Chicago." The motion provoked much laughter, hoots and cheers and was referred to the judiciary committee. St. Louis Wants Balloon Race St. Louis Wants Balloon Race. St. Louis, Nov. 18.—The Aero Club of St. Louis Tuesday afternoon decided to invite the Aero Club of America to hold in this city the long distance balloon race to take place next September.

Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 18.—In a suit for damages brought by the Crystal Oil company of Des Moines against the Standard Oil company of Indiana, a jury Tuesday in the district court returned a verdict of $6,120 in favor of the plaintiff. GOMPERS READY FOR JAIL GOMPERS READY FOR JAIL A. F. L. PRESIDENT WILL PAY NO CONTEMPT FINE. Labor Federation Members Favor the Formation of a New Independent Political Party. Denver, Nov. 18.—President Samuel Gompers, at the afternoon session Monday of the convention of the American Federation of Labor, declared that if he were found guilty and fined in the contempt proceedings against him at Washington, he would go to jail before he would pay his fine or before he would allow the Federation to pay any fine for him. This statement was made by Mr. Gompers during the discussion of the report of the committee on the treasurer's report. The committee recommended that immediately following the adjournment of the convention the executive committee shall take up the proposition of placing its funds where they may be removed from danger of attachment. The report brought out a political discussion in which several members declared themselves in favor of the formation of an independent political party. By request Mr. Gompers explained the status of the Danbury hat case. The lower courts held that there was no case under the Sherman anti trust law, but the United States supreme court had reversed this decision and remanded the case to the lower court for retrial. Continuing, he said: "Our standing is menaced by the courts of law. The matter of the application of the Sherman anti-trust law to unions has reached final adjustment by the United States supreme court. No matter how the Danbury case is decided, that will not alter the status one jot. The United States supreme court has said the final word, and the law of this country is that labor organizations of this country are now conspiracies and combinations in restraint of trade. "Under the Sherman anti-trust law honest business cannot be conducted, much less honest, straight-forward labor organizations. Father and Daughter Drown New York. Nov. 18.—Slipping from the gang plank of the freight boat captained by her father as she was boarding the craft Monday night, Mrs. Helen Bloch, a young widow, was drowned in the North river.

Washington, Pa., Nov. 18.—At a meeting here Monday of the Pennsylvania State Wool Growers' association, a resolution was adopted opposing the proposed revision of the tariff on wool. SOME REMARKS FROM MINNE SOTA EDITORS. What They Think of Western Canada. A party of editors from a number of cities and towns of Minnesota recently made a tour of Western Canada, and having returned to their homes they are now telling in their respective newspapers of what they saw on their Canadian trip. The West St. Paul Times recalls the excursion of the Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Referring to what has happened in the interval the writer says: "Thousands of miles of new railway lines have been built, and the development of the country has made marvelous strides. Millions of acres, then lying in their wild and untouched state, have since been transferred into grain fields. Towns have sprung up as if by the wand of a magician, and their development is now in full progress. It is a revelation, a record of conquest by settlement that is remarkable." The Hutchinson Leader characterizes Western Canada as "a great country undeveloped. The summer outing," it says, "was an eye-opener to every member of the party, even those who were on the excursion through Western Canada ten years ago, over considerable of the territory covered this year, being amazed at the progress and advancement made in that short space of time. The time will come when Western Canada will be the bread-basket of the world. It was a delightful outing through a great country of wonderful possibilities and resources." Since the visit of these editors the Government has revised its land regulations and it is now possible to secure 160 acres of wheat land at $3.00 an acre in addition to the 160 acres that may be homesteaded. The crops of 1908 have been splendid, and reports from the various districts show good yields, which at present prices will give excellent profits to the farmers. From Milestone, Saskatchewan, there are reported yields of thirty bushels of spring wheat to the acre, while the average is about 20 bushels. The quality of grain to be shipped from this point will be about 600,000 bushels. Information regarding free lands and transportation will be freely given by the Canadian Government Agents. A Riddle. An English paper recently asked its readers for an answer to the following riddle: What does a man love more than life, Hate more than death or mortal strife; That which contented men desire, The poor have, and the rich require; A miser spends, the spendtairift saves, And all men carry to their graves? All sorts of answers were sent in, but the correct one was declared to be "Nothing." Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the dissection portion of the car. There is only one way to cure dehydration, and that is by constitutional remedies, such as the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this mucous lining is damaged, the mucous perfecting, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous.

I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made me a well woman." Mrs. Arthur R. House, of Church Road, Moorestown, N. J., writes: "I feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation was necessary. My husband objected, and urged me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to-day I am well and strong." FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E.

The little I did eat seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. I finally quit coffee and drank hot water, but there was so little food I could digest, I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. “It was then a friend brought me a thot cup of Postum. I drank part of it and after an hour I felt as though I had had something to eat — felt strengthened. That was about five years ago, and after continuing Post- ‘um in place of coffee and gradually getting stronger, to-day I can eat and digest anything I want, walk as much 3s I want.

It is now a national event, most gener- ally honored, And the distinguishing feature of this feast-day is the trag- edy of that royal fowl, the turkey, A Thanksgiving day without turkey is a church service without lesson, music, or benediction. There are makeshift collations, of course, that pass for din- ners with those not to the manner born, but the sons of the sons of New England realize their hollowness. Not one of these but would rather go through trials by fire and water rath- er than endure the absence of that glorious head-piece from the Thanks- giving board. In the first years of the '80's two great rival railroad companies were hastening to secure for themselves in eastern Dakota the rich fields of a ‘traffic yet to come into being. Both had entered the wonderfully fertile James river valley from the east, and as one turned its line northward from Huron the other turned southward from Aberdeen, and the near approach of winter and the close of active oper- ations found the two competing con- struction camps only a few miles apart. With the advance of the rail- roads or a little preceding them had come settlers upon the government do- main, and though farmers and wheat- raisers were in the van, such nomad- fe and adventurous spirits as land agents and townsite boomers, traders and newspaper men could be discovered even more easily. Early in Novem- ber work upon the railroad lines halt- ed, and the builders retired to await the opening of spring. At the termi- nus of each road a little settlement had sprung up, less than a half-dozen structures marking the site of what was hoped to be and already was her- alded as the metropolis of the valley. Upon such a situation steadily but surely erept the Thursday which the president of the United States had chosen as the annual day of thanks- giving, and at the distance of only one short week the fact suddenly dawned upon the clustered intelligence of these two Dakota towns that there was not a turkey in the great Jim val- ley north of Sioux Falls, and that 80 miles of wind-swept prairie lay be- tween a more hopeful field of posstble supply at Watertown, near the Minne- sota boundary. There is material for a volume of adventure in the account of the two rival expeditions dispatched simultaneously yet with all secrecy on a journey of a hundred and sixty miles for fowls to furnish forth a Thanks- giving dinner, but this story must omit the details. One party returned bilan ously successful with the three tur- keys that eloquence, strategy and mon- ey combined were able to procure in Watertown; the other, downcast, de- jected, ands pessimistic, came back empty-handed. To emphasize their victory the suc- sesstul town announced a prize turkey shoot (at which all but Redfleld marks- ait wate bared), m fuikey Onaer at the hetel, and a grand ball in the rail- road warehouse. This was calculated to make its rival, Ashton, either swell with rage to bursting or wither away in self-abasement and despair. ‘The fateful day arrived, a gray day with the first flakes of snow in the air. The prize turkey shoot came off early in the morning at Redfield, as ad- yertised, but an unforeseen contingency resulted. A marksman of truly dia- bolical skill developed in a resident of two weeks’ standing, and all three turkeys fell before his trusty rifle. The fowls had been set up at 150 yards and with only their heads exposed to the destructive bullets. All participants at half a dollar for each shot had dis- played remarkable accuracy of aim, but the winner had distanced his com- petitors, and captured the shooting match. The apprehension evolved among the witnesses of this remark- able accident soon ripened into rebel- Hous determination, What was to-be done with a disloyal citizen who calm- ly announced that the turkeys would be served up at a private banquet at the Hotel Dodge, to be enjoyed by him- self and two especial friends? He said he thought a bird apiece was about their normal capacity, and as three fowls certainly could not furnish a meal for 75, and somebody must go without turkey, it would be more sat- isfactory all around to let three lucky fellows get enough for once. At the end of a short but explosive debate the winner was immured in a freight Seem ay, ¢ lao oe xy Gs- &.

Sud- denly there was great excitement and confusion at the hotel. Nothing was to be found of the cook or of the tur. keys which had been roasting for hours in the oven of the hotel range. The chet had been bribed in advance by a wily Ashtontan, and with the first shades of night he had stolen away, figuratively and literally, with the turkeys already done to a tirn. At Ashton all went merrily. ‘fhe oyster supper began decorously, but when plates bearing small but in- dubitably genuine slices of turkey, and generous-helpings of dressing flanked by quivering masses of erim- son cranberry jelly, were swiftly passed down the long table, a wild, exultant shout went up that lifted the roof of the frail hotel structure and shattered the silence of a Dakota night outside. Among the unspeakable crimes of the great west that are still shrouded in mystery is the bribing of the hotel cook. The briber possibly still lives in luxury, with his secret’ all his own; in some Kitchen far away may still preside the chef who accepted hfs cor. rupting fund, - Truth and A Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing.

It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and ite component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection- fable substances.

I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema, Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura. J. H.

I found, for example, 11 banks in the state of Mississippi owned and controlled by black people, and in every case these banking institutions had the good will and assistance of the white business community in which they ex- isted. ‘The point is that the white peo- ple had learned by actual contact with the Negro of intelligence and industry that he possessed a value to the com- muity. They had learned that the Ne- gro banker was of more value than the Negro loafer, and hence they were willing to spend money and effort on creating more opportunities for the Ne- gro to make himself useful. “Speaking more broadly as to the re- sults of industrial education the value of this form of training can best be gauged by that fact that there is great demand throughout the south for ev- ery man and woman that we can turn ‘out from our institution. At Tuskegee, for example, we cannot begin to supply this demand. It comes to us from members of our own race who want our graduates as teachers and indus- trial leaders, and from members of the ‘white race who want them to occupy many positions in the Industrial world. “When we consider all that has taken place in the south, the results are not Aiscouraging, but most encouraging. Largely through this form. of educa- tion the Negro race as a whole has de- veloped to the point where {t owns and pays taxes upon over $500,000,000 worth of property. It has already blotted out its ignorance to a degree that scarcely has a parallel in the case of any other group of people, whereas in many of the old countries of Europe you will find dense ignorance among people who have been free for generations. In th case of the American Negro he has already gotten to th point where 57 per cent can read and write, In pro- portion as the Negro is trained he be- comes morally strong and influential in the right direction. if all the men and women we have turned out from Tus- kegee with our diploma, with one ex- pees T cannot find an individual who has ever been sentenced to the Penitentiary. The record of the grad- . ee ee uates fro mothr institutions Is equally encourgaging. “We must not become discouraged or aisappointed. We can build a house in fa few weeks, but we cannot develop a race-within a few weeks. Patiently, courageously, sometimes painfully, we must go through all the processes of civilization that any other race has ex- perienced. “We have a serious, complicated and hard problem, but as teachers and edu- cators, instead of despairing in the face of a difficult problem, we should be grateful for a problem. I had rather belong to a race that has a problem to work out, to master, than to belong to one that has no problem, that has no serious difficulties, In proportion as we meet, face and solve perplexing prob- lems, in the same degree are we our- sleves in the highest sense broadened strengthened and educated.” N.

The harvest of the great wheat-ral» ing states has been well up to the av- erage, and, with the high prices, is to return more money to the farmer than in many years. While the coun- try's total wheat crop is estimated at 40,000,000 bushels more than last year, {t 18 yet 60,000,000 bushels below that of the previous season, and the farmer has little reason to fear material les- ‘sening of values. The corn is promis- ing well in the interior states, and lessened yield in some of the older settled ones may make this likewise a remarkably profitable year for produ- cers of that cereal. Contracts are being made at this writing at prices giving abundant return for the farm- er’s toil. Minor crops have been gen- erous in the prairie states, with good prices. Altogether, declares Charles ‘Moreau Harger, in the American Re- view of Reviews, it has been a goodly year and one that has given the farmer a feeling of independence. His stable position is certain to have effect on every sort of industry and enterprise. | A Merry Heart. Why do you wear a harassed and troubled look? Are you really in trow- ble, or are you allowing the little wor- ries of life to grind furrows in your face? Take a glance at yourself in the mirror and reform—that is, reshape your face into the lines of comfort and good cheer which it ought to wear. Take an honest inventory of your trou- bles, and decide whether or not they are really worth advertising in your countenance, ukges the New York Weekly. It may seem a little thing to you whether or not you wear a smik ing face, but it is not « lttle thing. A serene look informs the tired and troubled men and women whom you meet that there is peace ‘and joy in at least one heart. And there may be among them some who had begun to doubt if peace or joy existed at all, “A merry heart doeth good like a med icine” Light Freights By W. W. JACOBS A Marked Man (Copyright, Dodd, Mead Company.) "Tattooing is a gift," said the nightwatchman firmly. "It 'as to be a gift, as you can well see. A man 'as to know wot 'e is going to tattoo an 'ow to do it; there's no rubbing out or altering. It's a gift, an 'it can't be learnt. I knew a man once as used to tattoo a cabin-boy all over every v'yge trying to learn. 'E was a slow, painstaking sort o' man, and the langwidge those boys used to use while 'e was at work would 'ardly be believed, but 'e 'ad to give up trying arter about fifteen years and take to crochet-work instead. "Some men won't be tattoed at all, being proud o' their skins or sich-like, and for a good many years Ginger Dick, a man I've spoke to you of before, was one o' that sort. Like many red-railed men 'e 'ad a very white skin, which 'e was very proud of, but at last, owing to a unfortunit idea o' making 'is fortin, 'e let hisself be done. "It come about in this way: Him and old Sam Small and Peter Russet 'ad been paid off from their ship and was 'aving a very 'appy, pleasant time ashore. They was careful men in a way, and they 'ad taken a room down East India Road way, and paid up the rent for a month. It came cheaper than a lodging'-ouse, besides being a bit more private and respectable, a thing old Sam was always very pertickler about. "They 'ad been ashore about three weeks when one day old Sam and Peter went off alone becos Ginger said 'e wasn't going with 'em. "'Where've you been?' ses Ginger, when they returned. "We must 'ave another man in it, Peter,' he ses, 'and, wot's more, 'e must 'ave ginger-colored 'air. That being so, its only right and proper that our dear old pal Ginger should 'ave the fust offer.' "It wasn't often that Sam was so affecksunate, and Ginger couldn't make it out at all. Ever since 'ed known 'im the old man 'ad been full o' plans o making money without earning it,... "We've been in a little pub down Bow way, me an' Peter,' ses Sam, and we'll tell you more about it if you promise to join us an' go shares. It's kep' by a widder woman whose on' son—red'aired son—went to sea 23 4 "Wot?" Screams Yinger. "Tattoo Me!" years ago, at the age o' 14, an' was never 'card of arterwards. Seeing we was sailor-men, she told us all about it, an' ow she still 'oples for him to walk into 'er arms afore she dies. "She dreamt a fortnit ago that 'e turned up safe and hound, with red whiskers,' ses Peter. "Ginger Dick sat up and looked at 'em without a word; then 'e got out o' bed, an' pushing old Sam out of the way began to dress, and at last 'e turned round and asked Sam whether he was drunk or only mad. "All right,' ses Sam; 'if you won't take it on we'll find somebody as will, that's all; there's no call to get huffy about it. You ain't the on'y red-'edded man in the world." "Ginger coughed and looked thoughtful. "It sounds all right, mates' e' se at last, but I don't see 'ow we're to go to work. I don't want to go! lock up for deceiving." "You can't get locked up,' ses Sam; 'if you let 'er discover you and claim you, 'ow can you get locked up for it? We shall go in an' see her agin, and larn all there is to larn, especially about the tattoo marks, and then—" "Wot?" screams Ginger. "Tattoo me! Spile my skin with a lot o' beastly blue marks! Not me, not if I know it. I'd like to see anybody try it, that's all." "They started on 'im again next day, but all Sam and Peter could say didn't move 'im, although Sam spoke so feeling about the joy of a pore widder woman getting 'er son back agin arter all these years that 'e nearly cried. "They went down agin to the pub that evening, and Ginger, who said 'e was curious to see, wanted to go too. Sam, who still 'ad 'opes of 'im, wouldn't 'ear of it, but at last it was arranged that 'e wasn't to go inside, but should take a peep through the door. They got on a tram at Aldgate, and Ginger didn't like it becos Sam and Peter talked it over between theirselves in whispers and pointed out likely red-airmed men in the road. "And 'e didn't like it when they got to the Blue Lion, and Sam and Peter went in and left 'im outside, peeping through the door. The landlady shook 'ands with them quite friendly, and the barmald, a fine-looking girl, seemed to take a lot o' notice of Peter. Ginger waited about outside for nearly a couple of hours, and at last they A man is dancing in front of a bar. He is wearing a hat and a jacket. The bar counter is behind him, and there are bottles on the counter. "Losing 'Is Wot?' Ses Yinger, Turning Pale and Staggering Back. came out, talking and larfing, with Peter wearing a white rose wot the barmaid 'ad given 'im. "They all went in somewhere and 'ad a few drinks first, though, and arter a time Ginger began to see things in a different light to wot 'e 'ad before, an 'ad to be arf ashamed of 'is selfishness, and 'e called Sam's pot a loving-cup, an 'kep' on drinking out of it to show there was no ill-feeling, although Sam kep' telling him there wasn't. Then Sam spoke up about tattooing agin, and Ginger said that every man in the country ought to be tattooed to prevent smallpox. He got so excited about it that old Sam 'ad to promise 'im that he should be tattooed that very night, before he could pacify 'im. "Ginger was the last one to wake up in the morning, an' before 'e woke he kept making a moaning noise. His 'ead felt as though it was going to bust, 'is tongue felt like a brick, and 'is chest was so sore 'e could 'ardly breathe. Then at last 'e opened 'is eyes and looked up and saw Sam an' Peter and a little man with a black mustache. "Cheer up Ginger,' ses Sam, in a kind voice, 'it's going on beautiful.' "My 'ead's splittin', ses Ginger, with a groan, 'an' I've got pins an' needles all over my chest.' "Needles,' ses the man with the black mustache. 'I never use pins; they'd pison the flesh.' "Ginger sat up in bed and stared at 'im; then 'e bent 'ead down and squinted at 'is chest, and next moment 'e was out of bed and all three of 'em was holding 'im down on the floor to prevent 'im breaking the tattooer's neck which 'e'd set 'is 'eart upon doing, and explaining to 'im that the tattooer was at the top of 'is profession, and that it was only by a stroke of luck 'e had got 'im. And Sam reminded 'im wot 'e' ad said the night before, and said he'd live to thank 'im for it. "Ginger gave in at last, and told the man to go on with the job and finish it, and 'e even went so far as to do a little bit o' tattooing 'imself on Sam when he wasn't looking. 'E only made one mark, becos the needle broke off, and Sam made such a fuss that Ginger said anyone would ha' thought 'e'd hurt 'im. "O'wever e' was done at last; his chest and 'is arms and 'is shoulders, and he nearly broke down when Sam borrowed a bit o' looking-glass and let 'im see hisself. Then the tattooer rubbed in some stuff to make 'is skin soft agin, and some more stuff to make the marks look a bit old. "They 'ad a little call over in their room to see 'ow Ginger was to do it, and to discover the weak p'ints. Sam worked up a squeaky voice, and pretended to be the landlady, and Peter pretended to be the good-looking barmaid. "They went all through it over and over again, the only unpleasantness being caused by Peter Russet letting off a screech every time Ginger alluded to 'is chest wot set 'is teeth on edge, and old Sam as the lancially offering Ginger pots o' beer which made 'is mouth water. "'We shall go round to-morrow for the last time,' ses Sam, 'as we told 'er we're sailing the day arter." "'Meantime,' ses Peter Russet, 'you mustn't forget that you've got to send us post office money-orders every week." "Ginger said e wouldn't forget, and they shook 'ands all round and 'ad a drink together, and the next arterion Sam and Peter went to the Blue Lion for a last visit. "It was quite early when they came back. Ginger was surprised to see 'em, and he said so, but 'e was more surprised when 'e heard their reasons. "It come over us all at once as we'd bin doing wrong,' Sam ses, setting down with a sigh. "Come over us like a chill, it did,' ses Peter. "Doing wrong?' sees Ginger Dick, starling. 'Wot are you talking about?' "Something the landlady said showed us as we was doin' wrong,' ses old Sam very solemn; 'it come over us in a flash.' "Like lightning,' ses Peter. "It ain't fair play agin a woman," says old Sam, "three strong men agin one poor old woman; that's wot we feel, Ginger." "Well, I don't feel like it," ses Ginger; "you please yourself, and I'll please myself." "E went off in a huff, an' next morning 'e was so disagreeable that Sam an' Peter went and signed on board a steamer called the Penguin, which was to sail the day arter. They parted bad friends all round, and Ginger Dick gave Peter a nasty black eye, and Sam said that when Ginger came to see things in a proper way agin he'd be sorry for wot 'e'd said. And e' said that 'im and Peter never wanted to look on 'is face agin. "Ginger Dick was a bit lonesome arter they'd gone, but e' thought it better to let a few days go by afore e' went and adopted the red'aired land-lady. He waited a week, and at last, unable to wait any longer, e' went out and 'ad a shave and smartened hiself up, and went off to the Blue Lion. "Glass o' bitter, ma'am, please,' he ses to the old lady as she came out o' the little parlor at the back o' the bar. "The old lady drew the beer, and then stood with one 'and holding the beer-pull and the other on the counter, looking at Ginger Dick in 'is new blue jersey and cloth cap. "Lovely weather, ma'am,' ses Ginger, putting his left arm on the counter and showing the sailor-boy dancing the hornpipe. "It's a 'ard life, the sea,' ses the old lady. "She kept wiping down the counter in front of 'im over an' over agin, an' e could see 'er staring at 'is wrists as though she could 'ardly believe her eyes. Then she went back into the parlor, and Ginger 'eard her whispering, and by and by she came out agin with the blue-eyed barmaid. "Have you been at sea long?' ses the old lady. "Over 23 years, ma'am,' ses Ginger, avoiding the barmaid's eye wot was fixed on 'is wrists, 'and I've been shipwrecked four times; the fust time when I was a little nipper o' fourteen." "Pore thing,' ses the landlady, shaking 'er 'ead. 'I can feel for you; my boy went to sea at that age, and I've never seen 'im since." "I'm sorry to 'ear it, ma'am, ses Ginger, very respectful-like. I suppose I've lost my mother, so I can feel for you.' "Suppose you've lost your mother!' ses the barmaid; 'don't you know whether you have?" "No,' ses Ginger Dick, very sad. 'When I was wrecked the fust time I was in a open boat for three weeks, and, wot with the exposure and 'ardly any food, I got brain fever and lost my memory.' "Pore thing,' ses the landlady again. "I might as well be a orfn,' ses Ginger, looking down; 'sometimes I seem to see a kind, 'andsome face bending over me, and fancy it's my mother's, but I can't remember 'er name, or my name, or anythink about 'er.' "You remind me o' my boy very much,' ses the landlady, shaking 'er 'ead. "Ginger Dick would ha' liked to ha' seen 'er a bit more excited, but e' ordered another glass o' bitter from the barmaid, and tried to think 'ow he was to bring about the ship on his chest and the letters on 'is back. The landlady served a couple o' men, and by and by she came back and began talking again. "I like sailors,' she ses; 'one thing is, my boy was a sailor; and another thing is, they've got such feelin' e'arts. There was two of 'em in 'ere the other day, who'd been in 'ere once or twice, and one of 'em was that kind 'earted I thought he would ha' 'ad a fit at something I told him." "Ho,' ses Ginger, pricking up his ears, 'wot for?" "I was just talking to 'im about my boy, same as I might be to you, ses the old lady, 'and I was just telling 'im about the poor child losing 'is finger—" "Losing 'is wot?' ses Ginger, turning pale and staggering back. "Finger,' ses the landlady. 'E was only ten years old at the time, and I'd sent 'im out to-Wot's the matter? Ain't you well? "Ginger didn't answer 'er a word, he couldn't. 'E went on going backwards until 'e got to the door, and then 'e suddenly fell through it into the street, and tried to think. "Then 'e remembered Sam and Peter, and when 'e thought of them safe and sound aboard the Penguin he nearly broke down altogether, as 'e thought how lonesome he was. "All 'e wanted was 'is arms round both their necks same as they was 'it night afore they 'ad 'im tattooed." 777 Directory Knights & Daughters OF TABOR KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR. REV.

To one pound sifted flour add the slightly beaten yolks of two eggs, a half level teaspoonful salt, and enough water to mix into a batter. Take care not to use more water than is necessary, as the dough must be firm enough to hold its form when dropped into cold water. Stir the batter well, until smooth, then add four small apples cut into small cubes and mix thoroughly. Have ready a pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Drop the batter in by the spoonful and boil without stopping, from 20 to 30 minutes, according to size. Stir around once or twice so that none will adhere to the bottom of the pot. Then cover up again. Take out one by one, and cut in even slices. Have ready a pot of hot butter, drop in each slice and brown slightly on both sides. Serve immediately with butter and cinnamon or fruit sauce. This recipe from an old German cook book was sent with the assurance that it "was delicious." WHEN FLOOR NEEDS PAINTING. Best Results Achieved by Doing It Following Manner. Have floor well scrubbed and free from tacks and lime and thoroughly dried before applying paint. Give it a coat of floor paint of any desired color every other day until three coats have been applied. Then get a varnish the color of the paint and apply two good coats of that and the floor will look fine and smooth. To clean the floor, if a border only, first sweep the carpet and let dust settle. Make a duster by wrapping an old piece of flannel around a broom handle so that it forms a round ball and over this a piece of elderdust. Go over the painted portion of the floor with this duster, every once in awhile shaking out the dust. In this way the floor will always look nice and it will not be necessary to clean with water which always dulls the paint. Meat Roll. One quart of flour, two teaspoonful baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt, two rounding tablespoonful drippings; mix these ingredients until of the consistency of cornmeal, then work in enough sweet milk to form a dough easily handled. Cold water may be used instead of the milk, but a tablespoonful more of dripping must be used in this case. Roll the dough into a sheet one-fourth inch thick, using flour on the molding board to prevent the dough adhering. Spread minced meat or fowl over this and add salt and pepper, begin at one end to roll up as for a jelly roll; pinch the ends together, using water to make them adhere, thus preventing the meat from cooing out. Place in a buttered dish and set in a steamer over boiling water for one hour; remove and serve with over-low gravity or make a tomato sauce. Cut into slices when serving. Vegetable Marrow Squash. Vegetable marrow squash, a green favorite in England, is coming into favor here very rapidly. The squashes are white and mottled green varieties and should be gathered before the seeds harden. Too long on the vine tends to toughen the meat. Vegetable marrow should be peeled and cut in small pieces, the seed part cut out and thrown away. Drop cut pieces in sa water, and cook until tender. Draw and pass through colander. Return pan uncovered, and allow to steam or back of stove. Add one teaspoon butter and little pepper. Serve he Vegetable marrow can also be fried baked and stewed.
