THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT TENTH YEAR THE NEGR NOT AN ISSUE. Democrats Appeal to Race Prejudice in Many States Unheeded. FAIL IN MISSOURI: Sutherd, Democratic Candidate for Governor, Was in Favor of Negro Disfranchisement. LOSE IN WEST VIRGINIA. Hars Declare Against "Jim Crow" and Disfranchisement Amendments as Advocated by Democrats. Negroes everywhere are jubilant after the results of the election, in which William H. Taft was not only elected president of the United States but an enormous plurality, but the democratic party in several states here attempts were made to raise the negro issue received setbacks that will long remembered. Particularly in Missouri and West Virginia did the Democrats seek to appeal to race prejudice to win. However, in both states Taft and Sherman are victorious and the Republican state tickets elected. In Missouri the voters elected Attorney General Hadley, governor. He will be the first Republican governor in state has had for nearly forty years. During the last few days of the campaign the Democrats sent out circlars to the white voters picturing rural schools in Missouri in the event Hadley's election. It was also cited that Negro alternates attended the Republican National Convention from Missouri. On the other hand, Cowherd, the democratic nominee for Governor, was born in his opposition to the Negro receiving just recognition at the polls, and conducted a campaign at all times appealing to the prejudice of the white voters. It was he who several months ago introduced a resolution in the democratic state convention providing for Negro disfranchisement in that state. The Negroes of Missouri became armed over the campaign being urged against them by the Democrats, and determined to take a prominent part in the election themselves. There are more Negroes registered in St. Louis and throughout the state than ever before, and the loyalty shown by the black voters was made evident at the polls. Had it not been for their votes either would have Taft and Sherman carried the state nor Herbert Hadley even elected governor. In West Virginia the Negro issue was also raised. The Democrats in that state were even more active and better than in Missouri for at the democratic state convention last fall which nominated the governor, resolutions were not only introduced proclaiming for Negro disfranchisement and Jim Crow" cars, but passed. It was the action of the Democrats in West Virginia that won over so many Negro votes to the Republican party throughout the nation. Many who had not decided which ticket to vote took exceptions to the action of the West Virginia Democratic state convention and announced their intentions of standing by the Republican party. West Virginia, with the assistance of the Negro vote, did itself proud by voting Taft and Sherman a handsome immunity, electing the Republican state ticket and defeating any and all propositions that tended to retard and assimilate the Negro citizens of the state. The election demonstated that it is utterly impossible to deceive the voters by attempting to raise issues that fail to bear inspection.

"When we can burn hydrogen for power, when the industrial world awakes to the fact that prodigious expenditures for coal and liquid fuel are entirely unnecessary and that there is right within our grasp an unlimited supply of fuel substance available practically without cost—for it is self-producing—there will be a revolution in the industrial world. When the century-old theories of the indestructibility of matter and the conservation of energy and matter have once become really understood by men, we will witness the utter collapse and extinction of one of the oldest and most gigantic of human industries, the mining of coal.

Republican party as did Walters, Trotter and a few other would-be leaders, but to no good purpose. The cry "Remember Brownnesville," was not given the consideration anticipated by severa of the agitators—much to their chagrin. Dispatches from Northville, East, South and West all show that the Negroes gave strong support to the Republican ticket, and were instrumental in Taft and Sherman winning in several states where the results were close. SOMETHING NEW. The Union Services* of the Colored Churches on Thanksgiving Day Was Something Fine. One of the most inspiring, pleasing and beneficial meetings ever held by the colored people of Wichita was the union services held by St. Pau A. M. E. church, New Hope Baptist church, Second Baptist church and the M. E. church, at the Second Baptist church, Thursday, Nov. 26, Thanksgiving day. The services began at 11 a. m., conducted by Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor New Hope Baptist church, Rev. Jas. T. Smith, pastor St. Paul A. M. E. church, Rev. Geo. W. Smith, pastor, Second Baptist church, and Rev. W. G. Malone, pastor M. E. church. The meeting was one continuous service of praise, song, and thanksgiving. Each of the pastors present made very interesting remarks. After each of the pastors had spoken the services were turned into a general covenant meeting at which many testified. It was a most glorious religious service and did much good in cementing the great Christian forces of our people of this city. It was an inspiring sight to see the pastors of these churches united in one cause, backed by their congregations, all in one common phalanx praising God in one accord. It bespeaks of great things to be accomplished by the colored people of Wichita. In the morning the principle sermon was delivered by Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor of New Hope Baptist church who took for his text "Praise the Lord." In eloquent delivery, in masterful presentation it was a sermon long to be remembered. At 7:30 in the evening the services were continued at which Rev. Jas. T. Smith, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church delivered the principal sermon from the text "Great things the Lord has done for us." Rev. Smith held his large audience spellbound as he delivered to them his sermon. Rev. Geo. W. Smith, pastor of the Second Baptist church, was master of ceremonies at both the morning and evening services. In a whole the ministers are to be commended for the grand Thanksgiving union services. Rotation Cake. One, two, three, four cake, or rotation cake, as it is sometimes called calls for the following ingredients: One cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, four eggs, 1 teaspoon soda and 1 cup sour cream. Cream the butter and sugar, beat the eggs well and add to the mixture. Beat in thoroughly half of the flour, then stir the soda into the cup of sour cream, allowing it to foam over into the mixing bowl. Beat in the rest of the flour. Meg Dod's rule of giving 200 beats to every cake the last thing before putting into the oven is an excellent one. We May Burn Water and Solve the Fuel Problem, Says Tesla. APT. EDWARD C. WARREN, master mariner, engineer and scientist, has invented a new hydrogen motor with which he expects to revolutionize the science of power production APT. EDWARD C. WARREN, master mariner, engineer and scientist, has invented a new hydrogen motor with which he expects to revolutionize the science of power production. Capt. Warren bears some resemblance to the wizard of electricity, Nikola Tesla, who speaks to me in the highest terms of Warren's achievements in the engineering world. Capt. Warren has recently returned from a two-years' vacation cruise on a sailing vessel and has brought with him the crystallized results of many months of study and research. While he has been sailing the deep or leading alternately the strenuous and the simple life ashore he has steadily pursued his experiments, building boats and apparatus for the purpose, and now he is preparing to give the results to the world. This invention is nothing less revolutionary than manufacturing fuel out of water—as Mr. Tesla remarks the process represents in the broadest sense the burning of water. We now secure power from water by utilizing its weight on an old-fashioned water wheel or a modern turbine. We also utilize the power of water by turning it into steam. Capt. Wrren's invention separates the chemical constituents of water and takes advantage of the explosive capacity of these elements in recombining to produce power. The product of recombination is water, which, of course, may be used over and over as many times as extraneous forces are applied to decompose or separate it into its elements. "Burning" Water. "Burn water?" said Capt. Warren when interrogated. "Only in the sense in which we burn carbonic acid. Both are products of combustion. The constituent elements of each are combustible when isolated. The only problem is to separate or isolate them after they have once been combined. This nature is constantly doing, and we have only to accelerate or "short circuit" her processes in order to restore immediately these combustible substances to their elemental state and have them ready to reuite at our bidding in the phenomenon of combustion. Burning, or combustion, is simply the manifestation of the action of chemical affinity. We burn the elemental substances, hydrogen and oxygen, by bringing them together under conditions favorable to the operation of the affinity which causes them to unite in a new chemical compound which when condensed is water. We separate these elements by subjecting their compound, water, to conditions which overcome or neutralize this affinity. Lesson in Accuracy.

Warren, "but my process is the first by which it may be produced economically and utilized in an engine or a motor. could have a 50-mile boat and a three-day Lusitania.

R. Colquhoun, the British engineer. "Little girl, can you tell me where they're laying the cornerstone of the new temple?" "No, I can't tell you where they're laying the cornerstone," replied the youngster, "but it's in the middle of the next block on the other side of the street that they're building the synagogue."—Milwaukee Free Press. The official had been told that after Mr. Colquhoun's name there should be ```markdown ``` --- Economy in Its Use THE SAME FAMILY. be had for the taking and costing nothing but the harnessing to yield us in measureless abundance that mechanical power so essential to human advancement. "Suppose carbonic acid, the product of carbon and oxygen in combustion, were readily condensible into liquid form at atmospheric pressure and temperature, would we not then be found endeavoring to effect its immediate decomposition into its elements in order that we might again avail ourselves of the energy liberated by their union? But the natural cycle of carbon carries it through the complex evolution of plant life before it is finally returned to a concentrated condition. In carbonic acid it retains its gaseous form at all ordinary temperatures and pressures and so is difficult to deal with. "Not so with hydrogen. When burned with oxygen it takes the form of highly rarefied aqueous vapor which is immediately condensible into water at ordinary temperatures, and we can immediately recover it in form adapted to our needs. In Heating Value. "The heating value of hydrogen in combination with oxygen is 60,000 heat units per pound. The heating value of the best coal is about 14,000 heat units per pound. Heat units mean power units, and it is heat units we want when we buy fuel. A process for the manufacture of hydrogen on a basis that will yield us more heat units for a dollar than a dollar will buy in the form of coal must obviously put an end to the use of coal for fuel, for hydrogen is a perfect fuel. It leaves no ash, makes no smoke or poisonous gas and, being derived from water and being made as required, it requires no transportation or handling." "But what is the secret of the production of this new motive power?" Capt. Warren was asked. "The secret of the production of hydrogen for fuel lies in the successful manipulation of that mysterious force in nature called chemical affinity of elements—in other words, the isolation of the hydrogen under certain conditions and its recombination through combustion with the oxygen with which it was originally associated in the form of water." While Mr. Warren would not discuss in detail his methods by which nature is thus to be tapped and her exhaustless sources of fuel made adaptable to the airship, the automobile and other power plants, it is known that the process is chemical and economical and by its adoption fuel will be provided in condensed and portable form within the reach of all. Thus the world will have made the greatest stride in power since Watt discovered the steam engine.—Edwin Wildman, in the New York Sunday World. Feel Scarcity of Snails Snails are becoming extinct in France. Most of them come from vineyards, and the chemical solution with which the vines are sprayed is as fatal to the snails as to the phylloxera.

WHAT WILL THE NEGRO GET? While the Republican county ticket of Sedgwick county as not wholly elected yet the party was successful in the election of enough of its officers to substantially reward the Negro voters who so loyally supported the party at the polls. If the white Republican voters had been as loyal to the whole Republican ticket as were the Negro voters—it is safe to say that each man on the Republican ticket would have been elected. It was the disaffection and disgrunteledness of cetain of the white Republicans which was the cause of the defeat of that part of the Republican ticket which went down in defeat. The Republican party in Sedgwick county cannot hope to hold the Negro voters within their ranks at each succeeding election and then when the election is over fail to recognize the Negro in the distribution of the appointive offices. During the recent election, when there seemed a great probability of many of the Negro voters refusing to vote the Republican county ticket every assurance was given the Negro by Republican party leaders that if the Negro would help the Republican party to win that the Negro would be given a just, fair and adequate representation in whatever success the party should meet. Now that the election is over many excuses are being put forward by successful candidates in order to squirm out of this solemn promise made to the Negro voter by party leaders. Should the Republicans who were successful in the recent election fail to recognize the Negro then, and in that event, the party could not and should not hold any future claims on the Negro voters. It is now up to the Republican party to cement the Negro voters to their ranks or to cast this loyal vote from them. LOCALS Send your news notes and local happenings to 601 North Main Street.

Like a thunder bolt from a clear sky, came the message that our beloved Patron had fallen, and Whereas, During his life and membership with us he was a faithful member and dutiful Patron, untiring in his labors and dutiful in his obligation, living with us the life of a true Jephthah; therefore. Be It Resolved, By Princess Chapter No. 12 O. E. S., that we feel deeply the loss of our departed Patron and that his place among us can never be filled. We shall miss his fatherly counsel and shall listen in vain for the sound of the footsteps we shall never hear again and in vain shall we listen for the sound of that voice we have heard so many long, long years, giving us advice and encouragement in our hours of adversity. But we must bow to the will of the Almighty God in humble submission, as our Patron has only been called to the Grand Chapter in the Great Beyond, wheres orrow and weeping is unknown. We must close up our ranks and march on never neglecting to drop a flower on the grieve of our departed one. Be It Further Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved family our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement and, Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the face of the record of our Chapter, a copy be sent to the bereaved family and a copy be published in the Wichita Searchlight.

PARDON FOR JESSIE MORRISON? Governor Hoch is to Free Miss Morrison, It is Said. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 25.—Governor Hoch has decided to pardon Jessie Morrison. This is the latest pardon rumor emenating from the executive office, and comes in such a way as to scarcely be doubted. Governor Hoch has already shown clemency to Emmett Dalton and Willie Sells, two of the four famous "ilfers" in the penitentiary, and his intention to pardon John Collins, a third, before the close of his term of office, was announced last week. This leaves only Jessie Morrison out of this group, and she, being a woman, the plea is the more forceful in her case. It should not be forgotten that Governor Hoch has shown clemency to a number of other convicts, among them Mrs. Amelia New, sent up from Greenwood county for murder, and Banker Marcell, the Highland bank wrecker, not to mention a dozen others less prominently before the public. So, when the announced intention of the governor to pardon Collins was made public, the friends of Miss Morrison, who had appealed to him before, got busy again and now it is said that the close of Governor Hoch's administration will find the El Dorado woman, as well as Collins, with liberty restored. Miss Morrison was convicted of the murder of Mrs. Olin Castle at El Dorado in 1900. Olin Castle had been the suitor for Miss Morrison's hand, but jilted her and married another. A few weeks later the bride was found dead in her home with a razor by her side, and the whole of the little town was thrown into a ferment. After an investigation, Miss Morrison was arrested, charged with the crime. The defense was that Mrs. Castle had killed herself. Miss Morrison had three trials. In the first the jury disagreed. In the second she was convicted and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary. In the third she was convicted of first degree murder and given a life sentence. Olin Castil continued to live at El Dorado for several years, but three years ago moved to the Pacific coast. Attempts have been made to secure a pardon from each succeeding governor for Miss Morrison, but thus far all have failed. BIG DEMAND FOR AUTOS. Hutchinson, Kan., Nov. 25.—Farmers are buying automobiles so rapidly in western Kansas that it is a hard matter, with the business being done on the railroads through this part of the state, to get all the cars needed to haul automobiles from the place of manufacture to the buyer. This is the statement of a railroad man connected with the Santa Fe in Kansas. Recently ten cars filled with automobiles arrived for Great Bend and Larned the same day. There were nearly as many the day before and the day after, too, for about every one you know and who has any sort of an excuse is buying a motor car. There has been a shortage of cars on this and other divisions of the Santa Fe during the past week and a good part of this shortage is caused by the enervous demand for the cars in which to ship automobiles at this time of the year. Grain cars are used for this purpose a good many times, and this cuts out lots of cars that should be used to haul wheat and corn. So the shortage of cars is caused often by western Kansas farmers buying automobiles. It is reported that at one town on the Santa Fe with twenty-five families there were ten cars. At Larned it is said there are more than 100 in service all the time, and Edwards county is filled with them. Great Bend is the same way, as is about every other city or town of importance in the west end of the state. The motor car men in Hutchinson tell the same story. There is no end to the demand for good cars and the railroads have been at a loss to find enough empty cars in which to load the machines and get them to their destination, because the cars have to be taken out of the grain hauling and other trade. BODY WAS EXHUMED Arkansas City, Kan., Nov. 25—Dr. H. W. Marsh, of Winfield, coroner of Cowley county, in company with Mr. Grove of Rice county, Kan., drove to the Riverview cemetery, northwest of the city and exhumed the body of the stranger who was round dead in a Missouri Pacific box car here last August. The body was taken up for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the dead man was the person for whom relatives were searching. Mr. Grove is looking for his son who disappeared from his home in Rice county last May or June. Sixteen Are Dead. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 5.—Reports received tonight from western Arkansas, where a tornado swept portions of the country late Monday, show that the loss of life was not so extensive as was at first reported, but the property loss will be larger than anticipated. The known dead number sixteen, while unconfirmed reports declare that six others lost their lives as a result of the storm. Verified reports place the number of injured at twenty-three, three fatally. DEATH LIST EXAGGERATED. Number Killed in Arkansas Tornado Given as Four, Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 25.—Latest reports from western Arkansas show that although first reports of the number killed in yesterday's tornado were exaggerated, the property damage will be greater than expected. Reports so far give names of four known dead and about fifteen known injured. Seventeen other deaths are reported today, names not given. ONE KIDNEY GONE But Cured After Doctors Said There Was No Hope. Sylvanus O. Verrill, Milford, Me, says: "Five years ago a bad injury paralyzed me and affected my kid- neys.

Instead of prescribing drugs, he put us both on Grape-Nuts and we began to improve immediately. "It was the key to a new life. I found we had been eating too much heavy food which we could not digest. In a few weeks after commencing Grape-Nuts I was able to do my housework. I wake in the morning with a clear head and feel rested and have no sour stomach. My boy sleeps well and wakes with a laugh.

DOWN MISSOURI WAY CANADA'S RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER THE SUBJECT FOR FAVORABLE COMMENT. Those who have visited Canada are always impressed with the strict observance that is given to the laws of the country, and the order that is preserved everywhere. The editor of the Gazette, of Fulton, Nev., recently paid a visit to Western Canada. He was so impressed with the conditions that he saw everywhere, that on his return home he was inspired to write as follows: "Reverence and respect for law is a dominant characteristic of the Canadian people. Wherever one goes in Canada, whether east or west, the law is supreme. The law is obeyed because it is law, seemingly, and not because violation carries a penalty. Canada enforces the law and makes every law effective. No country is more free than Canada. In name Canada is a dependency of the British Crown. In fact, it is almost a third republic. All its taxes are voted, collected and expended by the Dominion and the provinces. The nominal head of the Government is the Governor General, appointed by the English Crown. Practically his only authority is to veto the acts of parliament, which he scarcely ever exercises. Canada gives nothing to the support of the English government or the English king. She gives England the advantage in trade regulations and tariff laws, and in return receives the protection of the British army and navy. Canada enjoys the protection without sharing in the expense. "The sale of liquor is strictly regulated. None but hotel-keepers may obtain license to vend the stuff, and before a license can be secured an applicant must prove good character and provide twenty rooms in his tavern for the accommodation of guests. The bar-rooms, close at 7 o'clock Saturday evening and remain closed until Monday morning. The schools and churches in Western Canada excite admiration. Though new, Western Canada is not godless. The finest buildings in every town are the churches. Next come the school houses." Turning to the wheat fields of Western Canada, the editor of the Laurel (Neb.) Advocate of Sept. 17th says: "I have often thought that the reason that the characters of Charles Dickens are so impressed upon the minds of his readers is because he dwells upon them so long and describes them so minutely that by the time one has waded through his long drawn out stories they are so burned into his brain that he can never forget them. It was this way with the Canadian wheat fields. Had we only seen a few the memory of them might have worn away in time, but a long drawn out experience such as we had is sure to leave an uneffaceable impression. Never while we live shall we forget the Canadian wheat fields. They call it the granary of the British Empire, and we don't blame 'em. Nobody who has seen these wheat fields can wonder at their enthusiasm." It is worth while to record that these fields have now been harvested, and in many cases yields as high as forty and fifty bushels per acre have been marketed, while the general average has been away above 20 bushels per acre. Oats and barley have also done well, and the profits, the prices of grains being high, have paid the entire cost of the farms of many a farmer. There is now 160 acres of land given away, in addition to the 160 acres that the homesteader may purchase at $3.00 an acre. Particulars of this as well as the lowest railway rates will be given by the Canadian Government Agent. Money Expended on Schools. Last year New York city spent $33, 000,000 on its public schools; Chicago, $23,000,000; Boston more than $10, 000,000; Philadelphia a little more than $6,000,000. Though Philadelphia is the third city in population in the United States, it stood thirty-fourth in per capita expenditure on schools. Eloquent.

"No, su, dey wouldn't," protested the negro, warmly. "I knows enough about de law to know dat a man doan have t' tell nothin' dat cremates hissef." Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Mr. Lanslng's Mean Joke "You have named the baby Tetanus?" exclaimed the horrified caller. "Yes," answered Mrs. Lapsling, "I think that's what we'll call her. It's the name my husband suggests."

Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day.

Statistics seem to show that crime is less frequent among married men than among those enjoying bachelor existence. Close observation shows that property rights are more generally respected by the married than the single. The married man does not commit the graver offenses against property, such as robbery and fraud, so much as the less dangerous crimes, such as receiving stolen goods, breaking the laws of trade, and fraudulent bankruptcy. Men who are married at an early age—from 18 to 25—offend against property more often than the unmarried of the same age, and married men who are older. This is probably explained by the pressure of family expenses. Offenses against morality are far more common among unmarried men—a fact that was to be expected. Offenses against human life are more frequent among the unmarried, though the disproportion is not so great as in the matter of rights of property. It is interesting to note, says the New York Weekly, that the criminality of widowers decreases with advancing years, although this is probably true of all men. Widowers, however, contribute a greater share of crime between the ages of 30 and 50 than either of the other classes. This may be an argument either for or against marriage, according to the point of view. The longer man is married, the more law-abiding he becomes. This may be accounted for not only by the benign influence of matrimony, but also by the fact that the burden of married life incident to the larger birth rate at that time and the financial straits of the parents is greater in the early years than it is later. This is indicated by the fact that the rate of offenses against property falls off rapidly with advancing years among the married. When Sir Purdon Clarke, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston, informs Lord Curzon, former viceroy of India, that he doesn't know what he is talking about when he disputes the genuineness of the pedestal of the peacock throne of Delhi, now among the Metropolitan museum's choicest exhibits, the dispute takes on the appearance of a battle royal, in which Sir Purdon seems to have the better of his distinguished adversary, says the Herald of that city. The unpleasantness is another reminder of the fact that few antiquities in a modern museum are entitled to rank as genuine until after their genuineness has been disputed by eminent authority. Newspaper Poets Barred Out. "Impulsionism" is the somewhat misleading name of a new school of poetry that is being nursed into a fad in Paris, the home of strange cults. It has gained such a vogue that already it has an establishment exclusively devoted to its publications, says the Washington Post. "Impulsionism," despite the aggressive vigor of its name, does not threaten an immediate revolution in literary standards. Its devotees are supposed to write only under the influence of real emotion, and to wait hours, if necessary, for the purple mood of genuine inspiration. That lets out American newspaper poets. In the future, more than in the past, American industries will have to rely upon the especially developed and instructed ability of American workingmen, including the superintendents and highest managers of industrial establishments. Natural resources, declares the Cleveland Leader, will play a less important part than in the past. The most formidable competition of the coming years will be encountered from Germany and other countries where technical education is most advanced, and this country will need workers similarly trained to meet it. The progressiveness of the South American countries is seen in the extensive harbor works some of them are carrying on. Chile is spending $20,000,000 for the purpose at Valparaiso, which has a magnificent harbor and intends to utilize it to the fullest extent, and Brazil, on the other side of the continent, is preparing to construct 12 miles of docks at Rio Janeliro, making the greatest system in South America, the total cost being estimated at $19,500,000. South America is reaching out for trade, and is certain to find the result profitable.

CANNON FAVORABLE THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE GOES ON RECORD FOR TAR- IFF REVISION. ANXIQUS TO FULFILL ALL PARTY PLEDGES Will See to it That Promises of Republican Platform Regarding the Tariff Are Made Into Law—Claims That He Has Followed the Lead of Roosevelt—Is in Washington. Chicago, Nov. 24.—Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the house of representatives, placed himself on record Monday in favor of a revision of the tariff in accordance with the promise of the Republican party platform, and declared that so far as his vote was concerned, he would see to it that the announced policy of revision would be written in the national laws as soon as possible. The words of the speaker came at the conclusion of a luncheon given to six rear admirals of the United States navy, by Alexander H. Revell of Chicago, in the Union League club, at which the need of more battleships and increased efficiency of the fighting forces of the republic were the principle themes of discussion. On the tariff question Speaker Cannon said: "Any change in the revenue laws the country of necessity is followed by a depression of business. Three years ago I followed the lead of Theodore Roosevelt, who declared that there should be no revision of the revenue laws, which means the tariff, until after the general election. His policy was not to change existing conditions. The Republican platform on which the national contest has been won says, revise the revenue laws. That revision should be with due regard to protection and penalty against discriminatory nations. As a member, of the next house of representatives, a co-ordinate branch of the government equal to the executive and the judiciary, I am, so far as my vote is concerned, going to see to it that the policy of the Republican party on this question is written in the national laws as promptly as possible. The laws should be written promptly, so that business can adjust itself to changed conditions, for the change will of necessity bring disturbance." Among the guests at the luncheon over which Mr. Revell presided, were Rear Admirals James H. Dayton, Albert Ross, William H. Brownson, Francis J. Higginson, French E. Chadwick and Washington L. Capps. Major General Frederick D. Grant, in command of the department of the lakes, together with the six admirals, also responded to toasts. Washington, Nov. 24.—The arrival of Speaker Cannon at the capital Tuesday, or not later than Thursday, is awaited by his friends, with the belief that his presence will put an end to the reports that Mr. Taft will oppose his re-election to the speaker-ship. The attitude of Speaker Cannon on the tariff is understood to be the principal objection to his re-election and it is believed that he will make his position so clear when he arrives that there will be a complete understanding between himself and Mr. Taft in regard to revision. It is understood that no arrangements have been made for a conference between the two. Missouri Pacific to Double Track. Missouri Pacific to Double Track. Ottawa, Kan., Nov. 24.—That the Missouri Pacific has decided to increase its line to a full double track system from Kansas City to Pueblo, is the positive announcement given out by Superintendent J. E. Snedeker in an interview here. This is part of a plan of improvement, he says, which the Missouri Pacific has determined on, and which provides for an expenditure of $10,000,000 a year for ten years in permanent work. Cut Off a Woman's Head. Pittsburg, Kan., Nov. 24.—Following a neighborhood quarrel at Carona, twenty miles south of here, Hezekiah Stradler, a carpenter, aged 20 years, slashed Mrs. Butts, his next door neighbor with a razor, cutting her head entirely off. The murdered woman was housekeeper for Stradler's cousin who lived next door. Brooklyn Victim's Body Found.

Chicago, Nov. 24.—That the counterfeit $5 bills which have been freely circulated in Chicago, St. Louis, Dayton, O., Cleveland, New Orleans, Minneapolis and other cities in the last two months, were manufactured by an organized gang operating in Chicago and that this gang is practically broken up, was said by the United States secret service authorities Monday to have been determined by a number of arrests. Some of the men taken are declared to have made confessions, declaring that $30,000 worth of the bills were made; that the plates were engraved by one of the gang and the bogus money was struck off in wholesale lots at a place on West Adams street in this city. With Leo Brown, Edward Wheed and Edward Wescott under arrest, are Dr. W. H. Young, George Anderson and Ic'a Parkinson, the three latter being held in connection with the circulation of the bills. A recent fire in the building in which the plant was located is said to have destroyed a large unnumber of the bills. After a quarrel between the men the plates are declared to have been thrown into the Chicago river. Although printed upon a poor imitation of the government paper, the counterfeits were not easily detected. Business men readily accepted them but bank officials at once saw the defect. Dr. Young is accused of circulating 60 of the bills in Dayton. O. Four of the men and women we held to the federal grand jury in bonds of $5,000 each. Capt. Porter, of the secret service bureau, said: "These spurious bills made their appearance about election day and have since given us a lot of trouble. I suppose about $50,000 was made, but not all circulated. Brown made a full confession, saying he had not been treated right by his companions. Wheed also confessed, saying he was with Wescott when the plates were thrown into the river." THE MISSOURI ELECTORS. Gov. Folk Decides the Sixteenth District Case. Jefferson City, Nov. 24.—Gov. Joseph W. Folk Monday afternoon decided that under the Missouri statute, the entire electoral vote of this state should go to William H. Taft. This decision was made in view of the fact that Brannock, the Bryan elector for the Sixteenth congressional district, received mare votes than Kiel, the second Republican elector at large, who received the lowest vote on the Republican electoral ticket. Brannock, however, received fewer votes than the Republican elector for the Sixteenth district. The Missouri statute requires that an elector shall reside in the district for which he is elected. Taking the vote of the first elector as a basis, the plurality of Taft in Missouri is 1,026. Both the Democratic and Republican electors in the Sixteenth district ran ahead of their respective electoral tickets. This is explained by the theory that some of the voters in the Sixteenth district voted only for the district elector. THE KANSAS RETURNS. State Canvassing Board Completes Its Work. Topeka, Nov. 24.—The state canvassing board Monday finished its canvass of the election returns. The total vote cast in Kansas for president was 375,895. The vote for the different candidates was: Taft, 197,166; Bryan, 161,209; Debs, Socialist, 12,420; Chafin, Prohibition, 5,022; scattering, 68. Taft's plurality was 35,957. W. R. Stubbs' vote on governor was 196,692, and for Botkin was 162,385. Stubbs' plurality was 34,307. T. A. McNeal, for state printer, led the state ticket. The two amendments submitted, one providing for increased pay, and the other relating to pay of probate judges, were both overwhelmingly defeated. Disagree With President. New York, Nov. 24.—In a resolution adopted Monday, the Presbyterian Ministers association of this city expressed disagreement with President Roosevelt's statement in a recent letter that refusal to vote for a candidate for high office because he is a Roman Catholic is "narrow, unwarranted bigotry." The ministers endorsed the letter sent recently by the New York Lutheran ministers to the president dissenting from his view of the matter. Kansas Senator Gives Bond Kansas City Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 24.—State Senator Vinton Stilling Monday afternoon returned from Chicago and delivered himself at the office of Tom Brown, county sheriff, for the service of the warrant for his arrest issued upon an information filed by Fred S. Jackson, attorney general, during his visit here last Saturday. Senator Stilling's bond for $250 was signed by Emil A. Wetzel, a brother-in-law. A. B. Cummings Now a Senator. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 24.—Governor A. B. Cummins became Senator Cummins at 12:20 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Cummins received 106 votes and Porter, Democrat, 25. Three Republicans did not vote.

A STORM KILLS 40 ARKANSAS TOWNS SUFFER SE- VERE LOSS FROM SERIES OF TORNADOES, A PROPERTY LOSS OF MANY THOUSANDS The Heaviest Loss of Life Is Believed to Have Been in Piney, Knoxville and London—One Storm Starts in Missouri, Another in Louisiana—Storm Half Mile Wide. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 24.—Relief is being hastened to Arkansas towns which were Monday night reported destroyed by tornadoes and this afternoon the stricken district will be in communication with the outside world as the telegraph companies have had linemen repairing the damage since early Tuesday. Late reports confirm earlier statements that damage amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars to property over the state has been done and that the loss of life probably will exceed 40. It is impossible as yet to secure the names. One of the tornadoes started in Missouri, traveling south through Carroll, Newton and Johnson counties, the heavy wind abating when the Arkansas river was reached. It swept a path through these counties a half mile wide, almost totally destroying Boxley, Murray, Lawgan, Ororak, Dale, Boston, Judea, Trath, Omega, Dryfork, Dinsmore, Parthenon, Mossville, Limestone, Redfork and other hamlets. The tornado split at the head of Mulberry creek, a portion going through Tum and Smedley into Ozark where a number of houses were blown down. The main storm almost wiped out Piney, where the largest loss of life was. There probably are 30 dead at that place. Knoxville and London. A second tornado came from the direction of Louisiana and traveled north through Lafayette, Pike and Hempstead counties. Had this storm continued 40 miles further there would have been a junction of the two tornadoes. Lewisville, Lodi, Ozan, Murfresboro and other towns are reported to have suffered severely, with a scattering loss of life. MISSOURI-KANSAS WANT A DUTY. Producers in the Zinc Field Before the House Committee. Washington, Nov. 24.—Fourteen Missourians and Kansans, representing the zinc industry of the two states, have arrived here to urge the ways and means committee of the House to report favorably on a proposition to impose a duty of one and one-half cents a pound on all zinc ore imported from Mexico and from other countries in competition with ore mined in this country. Representatives of the industry from Idaho also are here for the same purpose. The arguments of the zinc men will be heard by the committee probably Wednesday. It is understood the efforts to have a duty placed on zinc will meet with opposition of the smelter concerns in New Jersey, which have interests in Mexico. In the Missouri-Kansas party are: Colonel H. H. Gregg, Colonel John R. Holmes, George P. Maury, Clay Gregory and E. P. E. Burton of Joplin; Dr. C. B. Quinn and Duffield Mitchell of Carthage; Thomas F. Coyne and C. E. Matthews of Webb City; George L. McCullough, C. L. Raines, Robert Ping and E. B. Shermerhorn of Galena, and W. T. Apple of Baxter Springs. Arranging for the Inauguration. Arranging for the inauguration Washington., Nov., 24.—Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock of the Republican national committee arrived Tuesday from New York. Before his departure Tuesday night for Hot Springs, Va., where he will be the guest of Mr. Taft, Mr. Hitchcock will announce the selec- tion of a chairman of the committee to have charge of the ceremonies at the inauguration of Mr. Taft. It is understood that the appointee as chairman will be Edward J. Stellwagen, president of the Union Trust Co., a capitalist of the District of Columbia. Street Cars Collide. St. Louis, Nov. 24.—Eight persons were injured, three dangerously, when a north bound Bellefontaine street car jumped from the east to the west tracks at Caldwell and Springtide avenues and struck a southbound car. The dangerously injured are: Patrick McGahan, motormar; Michael Brasser, 6337 Michigan avenue; Charles Stockhausen, 912 Wilmington road. Arrested in Alabama. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 24—John Calvin Humes, wanted in Kansas City on charges of embezzlement and fraudulent use of the mails, was arrested here Monday by J.

NEWTON GLEANINGS. Revs. Warfield. Tyler and Garnett were royally entertained at dinner last Thursday at the cosy home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Ford's, 128 West 4th street. Each minister left with words of congratulation, and an earnest desire. How could they do otherwise after partaking of such a sumptuous repast. At a late hour last Thursday evening while Presiding Elder Warfield was visiting at the parsonage with Rev. Tyler, a number of friends quietly entered the premises and began singing "There's a stranger at the door." When the surprised pastor set the door ajar, and beheld the company he said with trembling voice, "welcome." All entered and filed into the kitchen with loaded arms and filled baskets, that gladened the heart of the shepherd. Some one in the company surprised the other part of the company, for when all had been seated ice cream and cake were served. After which the preacher was called on for a speech. He said I can preach but never made a speech. He thanked all for their donations and invited them to stay all night. All retired felling that they were welcome. that they were welcome. DEPARTMENTS W.

The Industrial Committee makes their report as follows: We see the conditions to that extent that there are many earnest and obedient and willing, desirous of barriers among us with whose earnest desire they continue to toil in the midst of summer sun and winter's terrors, and onward through life they go "each morning they see some task begun, each evening sees its close." Ere they earn a day's report but the majority class who never finds price sufficient, who are continually surrounded with muck and mire that if continued will pull the race and nation dwn to that awful deluge where disgrace has no end and where creditors never respond. We are further able to see that there are too many Negroes whose heads are filled to overflowing intellectually and whose hands are as ignorant to the formation of things as the savage who inhabit the hills of distribution. We further recommend that the Negro, male and female, ought to be master of profitable situations, however small or great in the factory or in the home. The world's avenues are open and there is a continual call for such things that are necessary as do now exist. Let the schoolteacher, let the preacher, let the lawyer and let the doctor be masters of somes chemes aside from his intellectual forces. There is already too much head work among us. Let the head govern and the hands support the head, and when this is done the fidelity of the Negro will reach its height and the great problems that are now confronting the Negro will be weighed in just balances by just en and then and not until then will the Negro be able to tand in that atmosphere where the thoughts of bad men cometh not and then Ethiopia will be able to stretch forth her wing unto God and shall be recognized as a race in the midst of all ations.

What the Harvest Has Done. The harvest of the great wheat-raising states has been well up to the average, and, with the high prices, is to return more money to the farmer than in many years. While the country's total wheat crop is estimated at 40,000,000 bushels more than last year, it is yet 60,000,000 bushels below that of the previous season, and the farmer has little reason to fear material lessening of values. The corn is promising well in the interior states, and lessened yield in some of the older-settled ones may make this likewise a remarkably profitable year for producers of that cereal. Contracts are being made at this writing at prices giving abundant return for the farmer's toil. Minor crops have been generous in the prairie states, with good prices. Altogether, declares Charles Moreau Harger, in the American Review 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 trouble, or are you allowing the little worries 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 troubles, and decide whether or not they are really worth advertising in your countenance, urges the New York Weekly. It may seem a little thing to you whether or not you wear a smiling face, but it is not a little 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 medicine" Light Freights By W. W. JACOBS Brevet Rank (Copyright, Dodd, Mead Company.) The crew of the Elizabeth Hopkins sat on deck in the gloaming, gazing idly at the dusky shapes of the barges as they dropped silently down on the tide, or violently discussing the identity of various steamers as they came swiftly past. Even with these amusements the time hung heavily, and they thought longingly of certain cosy bars by the riverside to which they were wont to betake themselves in their spare time. To-night, in deference to the wishes of the skipper, wishes which approximated closely to those of royalty in their effects, they remained on board. A new acquaintance of his, a brother captain, who dabbled in mesmerism, was coming to give them a taste of his quality. "I never 'eard the likes of it," said one, with a deep breath, as the skipper concluded a marvelous example. Voices sounded from the wharf, and the night watchman appeared piloting Capt. Zingall to the schooner. The crew noticed that he came aboard quite like any other man, descending the ladder with even more care than usual. At first he was not very successful. The men stared at the discs he put into their hands until their eyes ached, but for some time without effect. Bill was the first to yield, and to the astonishment of his friends passed into a soft magnetic slumber, from which he emerged to perform the usual idiotic tricks peculiar to mesmerized subjects. "It's wonderful what power you 'ave over 'em," said Capt. Bradd, respectfully. Capt. Zingail smiled affably. "At the present moment," he said, "that man is my unthinkin' slave, an' whatever I wish him to do he does. Would any of you like him to do anything?" "Well, sir," said one of the men, "'e owes me 'arf a crown, an' I think it would be a 'ighly interestin' experiment if you could get 'im to pay me. If anything 'ud make me believe in mesmerism, that would." "One at a time," said the first speaker, sharply. "An' e's owed me five shillin's since I don't know when," said the cook, with dishonest truthfulness. Capt. Zingall turned to his subject. "You owe that man half a crown," he said, pointing, "that one eighteenpence, and that one five shillings. Pay them." In the most matter-of-fact way in the world Bill groped in his pockets, and producing some greasy coins, paid the sums mentioned, to the intense delight of everybody. "Well, I'm blest," said the mate, staring. "I thought mesmerism was J. Passed Into a Soft Magnetic Slumber. all rubbish. Now bring him to again." "But don't tell 'im wot 'e's been doin'," said the cook. Zingall with a few passes brought his subject round, and with a subdued air he took his place with the others. "What'd it feel like, Bill?" asked Joe. "Can you remember what you did?" Bill shook his head. "I should like to put you under the influence," said Zingall, eying the mate. The mate complied, and everybody gazed spellbound at the tussle for supremacy between brute force and ocult science. Slowly, very slowly, science triumphed, being interrupted several times by the blood-curdling threats of Bill, as they floated down the companion-way. Then the mate suddenly lurched forward, and would have fallen but that strong hands caught him and restored him to his seat. "You are Capt. Bradd, master o' this ship," he said, slowly. "Ay, ay," said the mate, earnestly. "And that's your mate, George," said Zingall, pointing to the deeply interested Bradd. "Ay, ay," said the mate again, with a sigh. "Take command, then," said Zingall, leaving him with a satisfied air and seating himself on the locker. The mate sat up and looked about him with an air of quiet authority. "George," he said, turning suddenly to the skipper with a very passable imitation of his voice. "Sir," said the skipper, with a playful glance at Zingall. "A friend o' mine named Capt. Zingall is coming aboard to-night," said the mate, slowly. "Get a little whisky 5 "Who Are You Calling George?" for him out o' my state-room." "Ay, ay, sir," said the amused Bradd. "Just a little in the bottom of the bottle 'll do,' continued the mate; "don't put more in, for he drinks like a fish." "I never said such a thing, captain," said Bradd, in an agitated whisper. "I never thought o' such a thing." "No, I know you wouldn't," said Zingall, who was staring hard at a nearly empty whisky bottle on the table. "And don't leave your 'baccy pouch lying about, George,' continued the mate, in a thrilling whisper. He leaned back on the locker and smacked his lips. There was a faint laugh from one of the crew, and looking up smartly he seemed to be aware for the first time of their presence. "What are you don' down here?" he roared. "What do you want?" "Nothin', sir," said the cook. "Only we thought—" "Get out at once," vociferated the mate, rising. "Stay where you are," said the skipper, sharply. "George!" said the mate, in the squeaky voice in which he chose to personate the skipper. "Bring him round, Zingall," said the skipper, irritably. "I've had enough o' this. I'll let 'im know who's who." Still holding him with his gaze, Zingall抓了他的手臂 together, and stepping up to him blew strongly in his face. The mate, with a perfect scream of rage, picked him up by the middle, and dumping him heavily on the floor; held him there and worried him. "Help!" cried Zingall, in a smothered voice; "take him off!" "Why—don't—you—bring—him—round?" panted the skiper. "Because I can't," said Zingall, shortly. "It'll have to wear off." "Wear off!" repeated the skiper. Zingall drew himself up with a little pride. "Well, see what I've done," he said. "The fact is I was charged full with electricity when I came aboard, and he's got it all now. It's left me weak, and until my will wears off him he's captain o' this ship." "And what about me?" said Bradd. "You're the mate," said Zingall, "and mind, for your own sake, you act up to it. If you don't cross him I haven't any doubt it'll be all right, but if you do he'll very likely murder you in a fit of frenzy, and—he wouldn't be responsible. Good-night." "I'm going to bed, George," said the mate, staring at him. "I feel a bit heavy. Give me a call just after high water." "Where are you goin' to sleep?" demanded the skipper. "Goin' to sleep?" said the mate, "why, in my state-room, to be sure." Any idea that the skipper might have had of the healing effects of sleep were rudely dispelled when the mate came on deck next morning, and found that they had taken the schooner out without arousing him. "I know you're a good sort, George Smith," he said, leniently, "nobody could wish for a better, but while I'm master of this here ship it don't become you to take things upon yourself in the way you do." "I want to explain the position of affairs to you," said the skipper. "Do you remember Capt. Zingall what was aboard last night?" "Eh!" said the mate, sharply. "He mesmerized you," said the skipper, hastily. "Now keep quite calm. You say you're Benjamin Bradd, master o' this vessel, don't you?" do," said the mate. "Let me hear anybody say as I isn't." "Yesterday," said the skipper, plucking up courage and speaking very slowly and impressively, "you were George Smith, mate, but my friend, Capt. Zingail, mesmerized you and made you think you were me." "I see what it is," said the mate, severely. "You've been drinking; you've been up to my whisky." In obedience to the summons of Capt. Bradd the crew came up, and being requested by him to tell the mate that he was the mate, and that he was at present laboring under a delusion, stood silently nudging each other and eying him uneasely. "But, damn it all, man," said the mate, taking a mighty grip of Bill's collar, "you know I'm the captain, don't you? "O course I do, sir." said Bill. "There you are, George," said the mate, releasing him, and turning to the frantic Bradd; "you hear that? Now, look here, you listen to me. Either you've been drinking, or else your 'ead's gone a little bit off. You go down and turn in, and if you don't give me any more of your nonsense I'll overlook it for this once." Time, instead of restoring the mate to his senses, only appeared to confirm him in his folly, and the skipper after another attempt to convince him, let things drift, resolving to have him put under restraint as soon as they got to port. They reached Tidescroft in the early afternoon. He warned them of public houses and other dangers, and reminded them affectingly of their duties as husbands and fathers. "Always go home to your wife and children, my lads." he continued with some emotion, "as I go home to mine." "Why, he ain't got none," whined "Don't be a fool, Bill," said the cook, "he means the captain's. Don't you see he's the captain now." Meantime, Capt. Bradd had reached his house, and was discussing the situation with his astonished spouse. She pooh-pohed the idea of the police and the medical faculty as being likely to cause complications with the owners, and, despite the remonstrances of her husband, insisted upon facing the mate alone. "Now you go in the kitchen," she said, looking from the window. "Here he comes. You see how I'll settle him." The skipper looked out of the window and saw the unhappy victim of Capt. Zingall slowly approaching. "I've come home." said the mate. "I've come home," said the mate. "So I see, Ben," said Mrs. Bradd, calmly. "He's told her," said the mate to himself. "Children all right?" he inquired, after another pause. "Yes," said Mrs. Bradd, simply. The mate pulled out an old leather purse and counted the contents, two pounds and a little silver. "There isn't five pounds there," said Mrs. Bradd, "but I may as well take last week's housekeeping while you've got it out." Before the mate could prevent her she had taken the two pounds and put it in her pocket. "No, no, I want the money myself," said the mate at last. He put his hands to his head and began to prepare for the grand transformation scene. "My head's gone," he said, in a gurgling voice. "What am I doing here? Where am I?" "Good gracious, what's the matter with the man?" said Mrs. Bradd, with a scream. She snatched up a bowl of flowers and flung the contents in his face as her husband burst into the room. The mate sprang to his feet, spluttering. "He's come around!" said Bradd, ecstatically. "Don't you know what you've been doing?" The mate shook his head, and stared round the room. "I thought we were in London," he said, putting his hand to his head. "You said Capt. Zingall was coming aboard. How did we get here? Where am I?" In a hurried, breathless fashion the skipper told him, the mate regarding him the while with a stare of fixed incredulity. "I can't understand it," he said at length. "My mind's a perfect blank." "A perfect blank," said Mrs. Bradda, cheerfully. It might have been accident, but she tapped her pocket as she spoke, and the outwitted mate bit his lip as he realized his blunder, and turned to the door. The couple watched him as he slowly passed up the street. "It's most extraordinary," said the skipper; "the most extraordinary case I ever heard of." "So it is," said his wife, "and what's more extraordinary still for you, Ben, you're going to church on Sunday, and what's more extraordinary even than that, you are going to put two golden sovereigns in the plate." The number of boxes of matches produced in the federal district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1907 was 202,041,400, of which 189,550,000 were wood and 12,482,000 wax matches. The stamp revenue was $1,218,384, or about six-tenths of a cent a box. The output is used in the district itself. The match, tax alone amounts to a little over $1.50 for each man, woman and child. The explanation for this exceedingly large consumption of matches is in the fact that almost every male inhabitant of the district is a smoker, and most of them smoke cigarettes.

If your Tabernacle, Temple or Ten is not in this Directory, or if there is any error, please notify me at one W. N. MILLER, Edition Apple Dumplings Declared to Be Prefection of Cookery. 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 water 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 a coat of floor paint of any desire color every other day until three coat 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 dierdown. 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 teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt, two rounding tablespoonfuls drippings, mix these ingredients until the consistency of cornmeal, the work in enough sweet milk to form dough easily handled. Cold water may be used instead of the milk, but a tablespoonful more of drippings must be used in this case. Roll the dough into a sheet one-fourth 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 oozing out. Place in a buttered dish and set in a steamer over boiling water for one hour; remove and serve with left-over gravy or make tomato sauce. Cut into slices when serving. Vegetable marrow squash, a great favorite in England, is coming in favor here very rapidly. The squash 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 small pieces, the seed part cut out and thrown away. Drop cut pieces in salt water, and cook until tender. Drink and pass through colander. Return pan uncovered, and allow to steam back of stove. Add one teaspoon butter and little pepper. Serve he Vegetable marrow can also be fried baked and stewed.
