GRAND RECEPTION Taborian Temple No.11, Garfield Hall Monday Night July 5th '09 Everyone Invited Come Out Admission 25c Washington,—About 157,176 800 acres of land in the various western states to which the 320 acre homestead bill applies have been designated by Secretary of the Interior Ballinger as coming within the provisions of the act. The area of land designated in each of the states is as follows: Oregon 7,004,160; Washington, 3,576,960; Washington, 3, 576,960; New Mexico, 14,334, 560; Nevada, 49,512,060; Arizona, 26,657,280; Colorado, 20, 160,000, and Montana, 19,664, 649. It was states at the department that approximately 40 per cent of the area designated, except in Nevada, is now held by individuals through "some color of title" and it is believed that a larger percentage in Washington and Oregon are so held. JEALOUSY AND WANT OF RACE PRIDE. We cannot understand how its that some colored men stand ready to apologize for the wrongs heaped upon the race. Those are same colored men always find fault with any colored man who has enough sense and race pride left to resent those wrongs. The best thing you will hear from men who are supposed to be of a better class of thinking men who, should stand up for the race and stand up for anp man of the race who knows enough to defend the race is that "so and so smart — but" but what? "Why he thinks he knows it all." That is the argument of a jealous shallow and empty headed colored man who thinks he knows as much as every colored man on earth but he dont claim and is afraid to claim to know as much as the ordinary untrained white man. No matter what any cheap white man tells that class of colored men they accept it as the gospel and will try to impress other colored men that what they have heard from an unauthoritative of source is true simply, because a white man said so. This is a condition which confront the color'd people, because they are waiting in respect for the ability or colored men who are acknowledged to have ability and because they are wanted in race pride.

CEPTION emple No. 11, Hall A The KITCHEN CABINET ONE HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW EEP buried in this soul of mine, Hid from the world apart, Like flies that amber drops confine, One dear hope beats its pinions fine, Entombed within my heart. And what is this, in amber, done? A man is walking in the rain. He is carrying a large umbrella and a bag. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He is holding a stick in his hand. A century from now, 'twill be the same, I trow. Indeed, these playful tricks of Fate, Gertake us all, or soon on late, But we must, or never, forget Remember, friends, this life is brief; Where'll be the difference, one hundred years from hence? Domestic Service in Germany. The servant question in Germany is practically a solved problem. There, two maids can be had for the absurd price of ten or twelve dollars a month, and, inasmuch as they do twice as much work as any two servants elsewhere in the world, it is readily seen that the ladies in Germany can have leisure if they want it. In this service is included the plainsewing as well as the washing, and there is less danger of being in the lurch since the police can compel them to stay with you the time for they contracted. Each maid must register at the nearest police station when taking a place, and the authorities keep them under surveillance, and arbitrate in case of dispute. She must give a two weeks' warning before leaving, her room is inspected to see that she keeps it in proper condition, and a mistress may refuse a written "character" if the maid does not give satisfaction. Under this regime, which sounds like Utopian arrangement to an American housekeeper, it is no wonder that the domestic affairs of the kaiser's subjects run smoothly. A Y FAMILY says I work too hard, The neighbors say the same; And John declares when I'm worn out, I've but myself to blame. "Now, mother, take things easy, Don't worry about dirt." Then walks off, leaving on the floor, His cast-off socks and shirt. My daughter begs I'll rest a bit, "And try to eat more hearty." Why, if you weed the garden-bed, an appetite will grow. "It flourishes in garden spots and in the garden," soo. There's appetite in clouds at noon, and in the morning dew. In short, this lesson you must learn, for health's sake, don't forget it. There's appetite in plenty if you'll go out-doors and get it!" Hints on Salad Dressings. First of all, let the woman who is particular have a dropper for the oil. Its use does away with all danger of curdling. But when a dropper is not at hand, and the curdling begins, it may be averted, and the original smoothness restored, by adding to the mixture the unbeaten white of an egg. Sweet Cream Dressing.—This is especially good for cold slaw. Rub the yolks of two eggs to a paste with a saltspoon each of salt, pepper and mustard. Add slowly, one-half cup of whipped cream and four tablespoons vinegar. Pour over the shredded cebbage, toss up lightly and serve. A bottled dressing is made without eggs, as follows: Mix well one cup sugar and a tablespoon each salt, pepper and mustard. Add a dash of cayenne and one-half cup rich, sweet cream. Bring a cup and a half of elder vinegar to a boll, add a cup of butter, and bring again to the boiling point, then pour over the other ingredients, and bottle and cork well when cold. This is by no means a customary, every-day thing in the average American family, but when wine is served, it had best be done according to the correct method. If sherry is served, pass it around immediately after soup. The glass should be filled from the right-hand side, remaining on the table. If beer or stout is taken, fill the glasses by removing them from the table and filling on a tray. Substitute for Cod-Liver Oil. An excellent one is found in fat pork properly prepared. Take a thick portion of rib piece, free from lean. Soak it 36 hours to get out the salt. Boil it slowly until thoroughly cooked, changing the water often. Eat it cold, as a sandwich, in stale bread and add a dash of any good sauce or mustard, if preferred. Special Master E. V. Mckeever Hited report to this effect in the supreme THE HOPE IN AMBER. R This hope incarcerate? That I may live to see my son. Ah, not for nothing mother pride Of sons in Israel. Ol sons in Israel. My short span is an aeon wide, And I with God-head glorified, A man I made—and well. A Good "Servant in the House" A Good "Servant in the House." Molasses—plain, every-day molasses. Perhaps the master of Dotheboys Hall's responsible for our prejudice against "treacle," but we must remember that "treacle" and molasses are not the same. The dictionary defines treacle as "a medicinal compound formerly used as a cure for poison," and later, says it is "a viscid syrup from the sugar-refiner's molds." But our old stand-by, molasses, has this difference, that it drains from the sugar during manufacture rather than refining. So, in deference to our hatred of Mr. Squeers, let us concede the difference. What would the country have done, during war time, without molasses? Sugar was prohibitive in price, And, indeed, many dishes are the better for its use—apples, for instance, and many of the dark cakes. Added to the fried sweet potatoes, it gives a delicious flavor. For a cough, boil together equal parts of molasses and vinegar and add a few drops of lemon juice. Corn-Cob Molasses Boll half a dozen clean corn-cobs in a gallon of water for half an hour. Cool and strain. Then add 25 cents worth of brown sugar and boll until thick. Do not stir. This sounds funny, but it is well worth the experiment. Black Pudding. This is made like an ordinary steamed pudding, with the addition of molasses to color it. Raisins or blackberries may be put in, too. Eat with hard sauce—butter and sugar flavored with vanilla and beaten to a cream. "POOR MOTHER." Y FAMILY says I work too hard, The neighbors say the same; And John declares when I'm worn out, I've but myself to blame. "Now, mother, take things easy, Don't worry about dirt." Then walks off, leaving on the floor, His cast-off socks and shirt. My daughter begs I'll rest a bit, "And try to eat more hearty." Then lets me wash and iron her dress To wear to Sally's party. My friends declare I strive too hard, And I am too ambitious. Then stay to tea, and grieve because I wash "so many dishes." In short, they're all advising me That I should rest and shirk. Perhaps if they would talk less, they Could help more with the work. "Sally Lunn." A good many years ago, in Bath, England, there was a little old woman who carried about tea-cakes and sold them from house to house. They were good, and soon Sally Lunn, for that was her name, could sell more tea-cakes than she had time to make. So she started a shop in Lilliput Alley, and very soon she was doing a flourishing business, and her name became a byword for everything good in the bakery line. Then she and her partner, a certain Mr. Palmer, began making a specialty of those particular tea-cakes, and soon everybody in England, and everywhere else, was making them by her famous recipe. It read like this: "Make a batter of a teaspoon salt, a quart of flour, a half cup of sugar, a pint sweet milk and one small cup of yeast. Set to rise for two hours; when light add a half cup melted butter and four eggs." The simpler, modern recipe requires less time and no "raising." Mix a quart of flour with a teaspoon baking powder; a cup milk, a half cup melted butter, four beaten eggs and a spoon salt. Mix all together, stirring in the flour last. Make the dough very soft and bake in patty pans. An Appetizing Lunch. A tasty snack is made by serving with a cup of tea, a sandwich made of buttered bread on which is sprinkled chopped lettuce or parsley plentifully seasoned with extract of beef made rich and thick so that it will "spread." Onion Sauce. In making this it is far better to use only the juice of the onion. Add this to a thick cream of milk, butter and flour.

NEW UTENSILS FOR KITCHEN Designed to Improve Flavor and Appearance of Dishes, and to Save Labor. Several new kitchen dishes are shown in the sketch, together with a table egg cooker.

No 4. most attractive bean cooker, may be sent directly to the table from the oven, which will be a little time saver, especially in a household where there is no maid. The dish is on the ramekin order. The remaining sketch is a charlotte russe cup, and the little cakes are baked in it, then turned out, and when cold, filled with whipped cream. This is especially made for home cooking, as no paper cups are needed. SOME POINTS ON ECONOMY. Wise Is the Housekeeper Who Appreciates That in This There Are No Trifles. There are no trifles in economy. The housekeeper who appreciates this in practice as well as in theory is on the road to success in her profession. It may seem hardly worth while to save crusts and heels of loaves for bread crumbs, scraps of cheese for macaroni, and soup bones and all meat trimmings for stock, cold vegetables for salads, to make jelly of apple and pineapple peelings, to keep orange and lemon peel to candy for desserts—in short, to throw away nothing eatable, no matter how small the fragments. But these apparently insignificant savings mount up to a goodly total in the course of a year, and add much to the variety that one may have at small expense. The woman who has studied the disposition of remnants does not have to stint her husband in order to keep within a small income. She can provide a breakfast of fruit, cereal, coffee, toast or rolls, and bacon or eggs, or fish, supply a lunch which is plentiful and appetizing, and spread her table at night with a soup, a meat and a couple of vegetables, a salad or a sweet, and a cup of coffee, have a good variety at all the meals, and invite an occasional friend to dinner without exceeding a moderate household allowance.—Harper's Bazar. Carrot Fritters. Required: Four ounces of boiled carrots, two ounces of flour, two ounces of brown sugar, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of milk or cream, nutmeg, and frying fat. Rub the cooked carrots through a wire sieve. Mix the flour, sugar and milk with the pulp. Beat the eggs till light and frothy, add them and nutmeg to taste. Beat well together. Have the frying hat heated until a faint smoke is rising from it, then gently put into it small spoonfuls of the carrot mixture. Two dessertspoons can be used, the second one to scoop the mixture out of the first. Fry the fritters a delicate brown, drain them on soft paper, and dust them with castor sugar. Too Little Ice Is Bad Economy. Do not economize this summer by putting in an insufficient quantity of ice. This is a mistake. If you keep the ice box packed, or at least well filled, you will have the benefit of the maximum cooling capacity of your refrigerator, otherwise the temperature within will never be very low and things will not keep as well. A small refrigerator, weil stocked with ice, is more useful than a large one only half full. Except in certain cases where it cannot be helped, make it a rule never to put food directly on the ice. Covering for Kitchen Floors. A good covering can be made for a kitchen floor from an old discarded brussels carpet by tacking it face down, painting it any desirable color and making a stencil of some corresponding color a foot wide around the edge. It will be pretty as well as serviceable, and will wear as well as linoleum. Strawberry Tartlets. Line a number of tartlet molds with thin puff paste, lay in each a piece of writting paper and fill in with dried peas or flour. Bake in moderate oven and when done remove the filling. When cold fill with hulled and washed berries, heap whipped cream over them and serve with powdered sugar. To Cut Brown Bread. Remove hot brown bread from cans and with a common wrapping twine THE AMERICAN HOME W.A.RADFORD EDITOR THE HOME OF THE FAMILY Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. In accordance of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subject areas. Radford is 194 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A very interesting house for a deep narrow lot is given in this plan. We must build houses to fit the ground we have at our disposal. There is more to this part of the house problem than some of us realize. I like to see a side veranda or a loggia sheltered by the house proper and less exposed to the public street, but never when the lot is so narrow that the side projection appears to encroach upon its neighbor. You may have a legal right to build clear out to your lot line. You may have a good many other legal rights that you will find it better not to enforce. I knew a man who bought three 40-foot lots on a good residence street and built four houses on them, houses that compared favorably as individual houses with other dwellings on the street, but they didn't look right collectively because they appeared crowded. He offered them for sale at $3,500 each, but no one seemed to want them. They didn't sell until he reduced the price to $2,500 for the middle houses and $2,700 for the outside ones, prices which just about let him out even. He made nothing and cheapened the whole street. His neighbors made it so hot for him that he preferred some other part of the city for his future operations and he hates neighbors now. But it was his own fault, because he neglected to use good judgment in proportioning the lots to the street and in fitting his houses properly to the lots. There is no hard and fast rule to follow except to leave plenty of room on the sunny side of the house and to be decent with your neighbor on the other side. There are so many styles of houses and so many good house plans to choose from in the various styles that it should be easy to select something to suit any lot that is both satisfactory to the owner and that will fit the lot and the location. Here is a plan that provides six rooms with all the necessary closets, cozy corners, bath room, etc., with a width of only 25 feet, but the house is nearly 50 feet long. There are other advantages in a house shaped like this besides having it fit and look well ENTRANCE KITCHEN 10'6"x10'6" PANTRY 8'4"x10'4" BUFFET DINING RM.

With a width of 25 feet and plenty of windows on both sides, there is not a dark room in the whole house. The fashion of late is to have more light in a house than ever before. It has been brought about largely through the recent tuberculosis agitation demanding more light and better ventilation in dwellings. The living room in this house has four good sized windows placed side by side. This is a style of window that women objected to when it was first introduced because they found it difficult to dress it up nicely with curtains, but after studying the different arrangements, unusual opportunities for artistic display were discovered so that now a woman don't want a house without such a window. It is only fair to add, however, that architects have invented new and better ways of building the windows. The first ones were built with single sash. Sometimes the sashes were hinged and sometimes pivoted. The theory of this plan could be very nicely explained by a clever talker, but in ac- BATH C HALL BED RM. 9'6"X14'0" CL HALL CL CL CL BED RM. 9'6"X11'6" BED RM. 9'6"X15'0" CL Second Floor Plan. tual practice the windows were kept closed to save the curtains from sure destruction. Since the plan of framing the windows together after the fashion illustrated and hanging the sash in the usual way, we hear no objection to these multiple windows. An interesting effect is secured by dividing the floor level of the front vestibule by the two outside steps 1 and two inside steps leading up to the general floor level. This idea works in well with the front loggia, which is walled in and is furnished as an outdoor parlor. In building a loggia it is well to arrange it on this plan. The posts are square and plumb and the architraves are straight so they can be easily fitted with frames for sash to hold either glass or wire screens. Sometimes when the position is somewhat exposed it is desirable to leave glass in one side all summer. Glass on one side is a great protection to the porch furniture, rugs, etc. More attention is being paid to such outside rooms every year. More elaborate furniture and smart decorations of different kinds are being manufactured to dress up such open air parlors, until you feel that the comfortable five-dollar porch rocker is a sort of poor old friend that you have to apologize for. You can pay sixty dollars for a three-piece set of grass woven porch furniture and the clerk who takes your money will wear the innocent smile of youth and assure you it is the proper thing to do. Bay State Named for Indian Sachem. Few of the men and women who are proudly boasting of the fact that they hail from the old Bay state are aware of the origin of its name, and still fewer are aware that it is derived from a small hill in the neighborhood of Souantum. It appears that the sachem of the Indians of the province dwelt in the early colonies on a small lot of upland, containing about an acre and a half, and fronting the sea. The hill has the shape of an Indian arrow head. The Indian name for the arrow head was "Mos," while a hill was called "wetuset," and so the sachem's seat came to be known as Moswetuset. This name was later corrupted by the colonists into Moswechuset, and the Indians came to be known as Moswechusets. From this name the present Massachusetts has been evolved. Lions Not Ferocious. The African lion, according to Mr. Churchill, is no seeker of quarrels. His object throughout is to save his skin. "If being unarmed," he writes, "you meet six or seven lions unexpectedly, all you need do, according to my information is to speak to them sternly and they will slink away, while you throw stones at them to hurry them up. All the highest au thorities recommend this." YOUR BACKACHE WILL YIELD To Lydia E.

Ate a Chick with Big Eyes. A trainman is telling an incident that occurred on a Mohawk & Malone train up in the woods the other day. The train was standing on a siding waiting the arrival and passing of another train when an Italian walked through the coach, his hands crossed on his stomach and his head wagging from side to side in a doleful manner. "What's the matter, John?" some one inquired. "Oh, me sick—me sick as dev," replied the man, rolling his head still more distressingly and continuing the rubbing of his stomach. "Sick? Well, what you been eating?" asked the sympathetic passenger. "Eata de chick with the big eyes," responded John, as his groans increased. John had killed an owl the night before and it didn't agree with him.—Utica Observer. A Man of Means.

Raymond because of his failure to report when his leave of absence had expired. Immediately Crabtree pulled a revolver from his pocket and began firing. Sergeant Washburn jumped to his feet and grappled with the soldier receiving a bullet in the hand and one in the jaw which shattered the bone, Capt. Raymond had seized the man's arm and was about to disarm him when a bullet struck him in the neck lodging in the spine and he dropped to the floor paralysed.

DEEP WATERWAY NOT NEEDED The Present Depth Found to Be Ample to Carry All the Commerce Likely to be Offered. Washington, D. C.—The proposed 14-foot deep waterway project from St. Louis to the Gulf received a blow when the board of engineers reported to congress that such a waterway is not desirable. The waterway would cost $128000,000 for construction and $6,000,000 annually for maintenance, the engineers say. The report was based on a survey of the Mississippi river by a special board of engineers created by act of congress. The conclusions reached by both the special board and the regular board of engineers are practically the same. CANNOT RAISE THE SUBMARINE Two Divers Have Perished in the Attempt to Rescue the Imprisoned Crew. Sebastopol.—All hope is gone of saving the lives of the crew of the Russian sumarine Kambala, which was sunk in collision with the battleship Rostislav during maneuvers Friday night, or of recovering the wreck, owing to the great depth of water. Two divers have died in the attempts to rescue the men on account of the immense pressure. Others have tried repeatedly and herocially to pass chains around the wreck, but finally came to the surface utterly exhausted, having accomplished nothing. All operations have been abandoned. THE BLACK HAND IS DEFIANT With Eleven of Their Leaders Under Arrest They Make New Threats In Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Ohio — Notwithstanding the 11 arrests made last week among the leaders of the Ohio Black Hand, the extortionists have faunted definance to the government authorities by sending Black Hand letters to intend victims in a stone's throw of the federal building in Cincinnati.

HURLEY BOOK ADVANCE IN MARK OF HEART INDIANAPOLIS NEWS HARVESTER HEARING RESUMED INSTITUTED BY GOV. HADLEY WHILE ATTORNEY GENERAL. General Agents of Companies at Jefferson City—Judge Brace Is Commissioner. Jefferson City, Mo.-The inquiry into the quo warranto proceedings originally instituted against the International Harvester Company of America by Gov. Hadley, when attorney general has been resumed, Judge Brace sitting as commissioner. Only general agents were examined. One of these, W. P. Yancey of Kansas City, testified that the price of a six-foot Deering binder in 1908, as sold to the dealer, was $107.50 while from 1902 to 1903, when the consolidation was effected, the price for the same machine was $100, with an occasional discount, under certain conditions, of from $5 to $10. While reductions in former years were sometimes made, he said, because of crop conditions the density of population or the war of competition there are no cuts now made solely as a result of competition. He gave it as his best judgment that the International company sold in Missouri 80 per cent of the binders sold in the state. SAVED BY SIGNAL OF THE SEA Wireless Telegraphy Brought Help. 180 Miles to Passengers on Wrecked Liner. Punta Del Gada, Azores.—Wireless telegraphy played a prominent part in the saving of the crew and passengers of the Cunarder Slavonia, which lies a total wreck two miles southwest of Flores Island. The wireless feat of the steamer Republic was equaled if not excelled. The steamer Prinzess Irene was 180 miles away when the thrilling call "C. Q. D," the sea's signal of distress, was picked up. Immediately upon receipt of the message of distress the operator flashed back his answer and learned the location of the stricken ship. The Prinzess Irene then hastened at full speed to the rescue and every soul on board the Slavonia was saved.

AN INCOME TAX CONCESSION The Finance Committee at Reqst of President Taft Made Offer to Progressives. Washington, D. C.—After a conference at the White house between President Taft and Senator Aldrich it was stated that the finance committee would consent to placing a two percent tax upon the net earnings of corporations if the supporters of the income tax amendments would accept it and withdraw their proposition. This suggestion it is declared came from President Taft and was designed to prevent a split in the Republican party over the income tax feature. Mr. Aldrich communicated the plan to Senators Cummins and Borah who are the leaders of the progressive Republicans who have favored the Cummins income tax amendment. These senators consulted with their colleagues, and, as a result the plan was repudiated by them. Mr. Aldrich consulted also with Republican leaders who are opposed to the income tax idea and he had no better success with that faction than with the progressives. M. NEGORO APPEALS TO TOKIO When Office at Honolulu Was Raided He Says His Treaty Rights Were Violated. Honolulu.—The situation growing out of the indictment by the grand jury of 17 leaders in the strike of the Japanese plantation laborers, was given an international turn when M. Negoro, of the editorial staff or the Jiji, a local Japanese publication, who was taken into custody when the offices of that paper were raided by the authorities last Friday, made formal complaint to the Japanese foreign office at Tokio of the violations of his treaty rights. The alleged violation of his rights as a Japanese subject, guaranteed under the treaty between the United States and Japan, he sets forth in his complaint, consists in the search of his office and the seizure of his private papers and documents by the territorial authorities without due process of law.

St. Petersburg, Russia.—Despatches received here from Perm, European Russia, say the local police have begun an investigation into the "sect of the Crimson God," the members of which are accused of human sacrifices and various other horrible practices. The Ural region, of which Perm is the center, is a breeding ground for many fanatical cults. It is a meeting place of the Pagan tribes of Asia, as well as persons who flee from Russia on account of religious persecution. These refugees have lived for centuries in the dense forests of the district and their beliefs have developed along the most fanatical lines. A Black Hand Conviction.

A third injection will be made at the end of 20 days. Close scrutiny will be made of their condition during the entire period to determine the success of the experiment. MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT TAFT Urged Congress to Levy Tax on Corporation Earnings and Open Way for Income Tax. Washington, D. C. — President Taft has sent to congress a message urging the passage of an amendment to the tariff bill imposing a tax of two per cent upon the undistributed net earnings of corporations, and the adoption of a resolution submitting to the several states an amendment to the constitution giving congress the power to impose a tax on incomes. A determination to do this was reached at a session of the cabinet and was approved by Republican leaders of the senate who conferred with the president. In order that there shall be no question that the two propositions to be recommended have the support of the administration, Attorney General Wickersham will draft both the amendment and the resolution. MAY DEPORT 319 ALIEN CONVICTS They Were Convicted of Felonies Within Three Years After Their Arrival. Albany, New York.—Superintendent Collins of the state prison department has completed a census of the prison population. It shows that of the 990 alien convicts, 319 were convicted of felonies, within three years after their arrival in this country, and under the law they may be sent back to the countries from whence they came.

The two vessels collided, and the submarine sank in 28 fathoms of water. OVERTAKING THE FOOD SUPPLY Eugene Davenport Says That in 100 Years Our Population Will Be 1,400,000,000. Kingston, R. I.—"We have seen the last of cheap bread in this country," said Eugene Davenport, dean of the University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill., at the graduation exercises of Rhode Island state college. Dean Davenport estimated that in another 100 years the population of the United States would be 1,400,000,000 or more than 400 to the square mile of territory and said: "Any way you can figure it, we are near the end of cheap food in this country, which means that population is beginning to overtake the food supply." Right Men Held at Omaha. Denver, Col—Thomas Lee, alias Ray, a prisoner in the county jail who claims he was a member of the gang suspected of the Omaha, train robbery, but deserted prior to that holdup, made a confession in which he says that Woods, Torgenson and Gordon, the men now held in Omaha are the robbers.

ED DISTRICT IS SHUT OFF. Three Missouri Counties Ravaged by Destructive Storm and Many Killed and Injured. Monett, Mo.—A tornado which began west of here at 8 o'clock killed Andrew A. McCormick, a farmer, injured seriously his son, Noel, and hurt six other children. The McCormick farm house, which is five miles southeast of here, was demolished, and the farm buildings razed and live stock killed. Telephone and telegraph wires are down and it is thought that much damage was wrought in the southern part of the county. Joplin, Mo.—A tornado of unusual fierceness has swept Barry county and a part of Lawrence county, doing thousands of dollars' worth of damage and killing four, and possibly more. At Monett it is reported that two are dead, and damage done to the amount of more than $10,000. At Seligman in Barry county, about 40 miles south of Monett, and the southern point of the county, two are reported to have been killed, four injured, and one girl missing. She is believed to have been carried away by the wind. The towns in the storm district are isolated and all communication was ended shortly after 11 o'clock last night. Passengers arriving on trains which passed through after the storm report that for miles the country is devastated. According to the telegraph operator at Pierce City, the storm came from the southwest, striking Seligman shortly after 9 o'clock last night and practically demolishing the buildings of the town. Purdy, about fifteen miles northwest, and Bricefield are also reported to have been devastated and all efforts to communicate with these places have failed. "BLACK HANDERS" DRAW Columbus, Ohio.—Postal Inspector Oldfield, who led the way in making the arrests of eleven alleged Black Hand operators in Central Ohio last week, admitted that he had received threatening letters, indicating that he would meet a horrible death unless he desisted in his efforts to prosecute the Italians. The letters were decorated with representations of stilettos and other arms similar to those setzed by the inspectors in their raids last week. Inspector Hosford is said to have received similar letters. It has developed that John Amicon, the Columbus commission man, had received a new letter within the last week, in which demand was made for $25,000. The inspectors have the letter in their possession. Today the inspectors will be in Toledo, when the hearing of S. Lima, the alleged leader of the gang arrested at Marion, is scheduled to take place. Postponements are likely in all the hearings because of a desire to get the evidence collected and carefully considered. July 1 is the time favored for the hearings. The postal inspectors may seek to have the courts impose cumulative sentences. It is said the letters received in the Amicon cases would make possible seven sentences. The maximum single sentence fixed by law is eighteen months. If made cumulative the sentence could be seven times that period. PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE IS READ. Chief Executive Declares If His Plans Are Adopted the Federal Government Will Supervise Public Utilities. Washington, D. C.—President Taft yesterday sent a message to congress on the subject of a tax on the net earnings of corporations and an income tax amendment to the constitution. The president's message was brought to the senate while Senator Burton was making a speech in opposition to a duty on zinc ore. Senator Root, being in the chair, ordered the reading of the document as soon as the Ohio senator ceased speaking. When the purport of the message was made known both Republicans and Democrats remained in their seats and all listened attentively to the reading of the message. Upon the completion of the reading of the president's message Senator Gore moved to refer it to the committee on finance with instructions to report by next Friday a resolution for an income tax in accordance with the president's recommendation. Carry Rifles While They Work. Cowgil, Mo.—Farmres working in the field near Taltsville, 15 miles south of here, are doing so with rifles slung over their shoulders. This condition was caused by the murder from ambush of Clyde Hatfield, a young farmer, last Sunday, and the shooting of Henry Berry by "night riders," Sunday, May 30. The feeling at Taltsville is that several men must die or flee from the country before the feud ends and peace is restored. Every house in the Taltsville district is supplied with firearms. --- of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the scientific attainments of its chemists have rendered possible the production of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, in all of its excellence, by obtaining the pure medicinal principles of plants known to act most beneficially and combining them most skillfully, in the right proportions, with its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of California Figs.

Freddie—Your father told me that I was the black sheep of the family. Gertrude—What did you say? Freddie—Bah! Interrupted the Wedding. The other day, at the Shawnee county Court House, Probate Judge Schoch was about to marry a young couple. He pronounced the preliminary words and told them to join hands, and started on the ceremony. "Hey, there! Hold up a minute! Wait, I say!" This series of startling exclamations came from the door. The groom was horrified—the bride badly scared. "Just a minute. I want to give you each an apple before you are married." said the man who had made the noise. And in he calmly walked and handed each of them a Grimes Golden. It was one man's idea of a joke. Kansas City Journal. The comic supplements are filled these days with pictures representing some of the foolish questions that people ask. Here is a suggestion for one: A man was walking hastily through the rain yesterday afternoon, his umbrella raised and his head bent. An acquaintance, standing in a doorway, hailed him: "Say," he shouted, "are you going to use that umbrella? If you're not, lend it to me!" Doesn't that capture the icing? Overcome Adversity. The waves which sorrow lashes up around us stand high between us and the world and make our ship solitary in the midst of a haven full of vessels. Cannot one do like the fair sun, and go under the waves and yet come back again. And yet, after all, if you look upon his going down rightly there is no such thing in reality. Richter. Hard to Handle. "How are you going to keep complaints from arising among consumers?" "I don't know," answered Mr. Dustin Stax. "Consumers are mighty troublesome. Sometimes I think they take advantage of the fact that we can't get along without 'em in our business." PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was on inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and compained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavour of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a degree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Read, "The Road to Wellville," in pigs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. THE SEARCHLIGHT W. N.

As this article shows we did not mention any person as leaders of this nefarious movement and we left the public to find out themselves. We condemn now, as we did then, any effort to establish among the colored people of this city any such society. The Lord knows and all his creatura know that the colored people of Wichita have hard enough time when every effort is made to keep the race as a unit. Any effort of any Negroes who desire to imitate "de whi' folks" and set themselves up as being "blue-vein" "holier and better than thou" Negroes should and we believe will meet the eternal condemnation of all the colored people of Wichita. What reason under the sun exist in Wichita for a "blue-vein Negro society?" Why there is not one public favor denied one colored man in this city that is not denied all. The Searchlight frowns down on that class of Negroes who are ashamed that they are Negroes and in their wild desire to "be white" would trample other members of the race under their feet. Any Negro who is so ashamed of the race that they would seek to set themselves off into an "exclusive" "would be white" "blue-vein" set should be banished from the race. It is not the Negro who is ashamed of the race that is a benefit to the race but it is the Negro who is proud of the race. Though havens and earth should come together the Searchlight will always stand as a defender of our race and will at all time and under all always circumstances denounce, condem decry and fight down and "exclusive" "blue-vein" hypocris which should be attempted against the best interest of our race.

We were notified by the Lindras Lumber Co. that our church would be sold on June 10 Taey had given three notices and said that they would not accept part of the money which was own them but wanted every ct. The church met and set the first Sunday in June as rally day. The members rallied to the front like soldiers. Pastor Rev. E. H. Lee preached from the subject "Free Offering," Deacon Ellis Harris called for the collection and brother Frank Harris stepped up and laid down $50.00 deacon Ellis Harris paid $50.00; Geo. Bramshaw $50.00 Geo. Harris$50.00 Anderson Samuels $35.00 then come $5,10,15 the pastor even gave $10, and when all was totalled we had raised $340.00. We owed $318.25. There was crying and shouting in that church and thanks to the Lord for His good ness, Monday morning we went down and paid the bill in full. Sunday June 13th was pastor E. H. Lee's aniversary; he had been with the church four years. Under his guidance the membership has more than doubled we have built an edifice and have paid for it in full costing more than $1000 We learned later that some of the whites had urged the lumber company to crowd us for a settlement thinking we could not raise the money and had already made a bed of $4000 for our building.

"It is easily done, but you had better take a guide as far as the top. Here's Agapito, he will do. How much will you charge the senors, Agapito?" "Five dollars," promptly replied the young peon. A general burst of laughter reduced his price to $2.00, and the bargain was struck. At four o'clock next morning we had a cup of coffee, packed our luggage, consisting of one pocket comb, and sallied forth in the wake of Agapito. Pretty little Macuto, her head in the lap of the mountain and her feet laved by the surf, lay deep in slumber, but the lights of a score of fishing boats twinkled on the sea. The town once was a favorite resort of the well-to-do people of Caracas, but now counts her guests by the dozen, for she never has recovered from the destruction and terror caused by the earthquake of 1899. Our guide's course at the start seemed so hap-hazard that the doctor inquired somewhat anxiously if he was familiar with the route. "Yes, indeed," was the reply. "I spent seven months on this mountain not long ago as one of the revolutionists led by Gen. Matos, so I know all its trails." So we scrambled on in the darkness unprotesting. Above us loomed the mighty bulk of El Picacho, forming, with his brother peak to the east La Silla, and the connecting heights, the range of Galipan over which we must pass. The path was rough and steep and twisting—"used only by the goats," said I. "Why, of course," cried Don Antonio, our host of the Casino de Macuto.

The path was rough and steep and twisting—"used only by the goats." said I. "I am one of those, also," muttered the Medicine Man. "And to think that Amory Preston led a band of armored and armed men by this trail to Caracas in the night! If I only had breath enough I'd tell you about it, but wait until we reach a resting place." "I am one of those, also," muttered the Medicine Man. "And to think that Amory Preston led a band of armored and armed men by this trail to Caracas in the night! If I only had breath enough I'd tell you about it, but wait until we reach a resting place." Higher and higher by devious ways we went and gradually the stars faded out., the bright-hued birds began to whistle and sing all about us and the richness of the tropical foliage through which we were pushing was revealed. Then a shaft of sunlight found its way through a cleft in the mountain range and struck El Picacho full on his rocky head. Facing about on a projecting corner of the path, we had spread before us the vast panorama of Caribbean sea and Venezuelan shore line. Still the lights of the fisking boats twinkled faintly and hundreds of pelicans were busily gathering their share of the spoil of the waters. Skimming over the waves, they would wheel suddenly, poise themselves, straighten out and descend like a falling arrow, then settle on the surface and calmly glup down the unfortunate fish, that seldom escaped the swift plunge. We were still sheltered from the sun's rays, the breeze was cool and Agapito moved at a leisurely gait, but our hearts pumpen hard and our knees became wobbly. By ten o'clock the spurts of climbing were shorter than the periods of rest and even an army of ants crossing the trail was excuse enough for ten minutes of relaxation. At a hut perched on a jutting rock we encountered an aged peon leading a goat, and there ensued an animated discussion of the routes, between Agapito, Nanny's master and the mistress of the house. As a result our guide swerved far to the west down through a beautiful ravine, seemingly undoing the climbing of an hour, and again upward on what was supposed to be a better trail. Nanny and her owner followed, but the little beast looked so disgusted with our slow progress that we let her pass ahead, and saw her no more. Passing through the tiny village of San Jose with its garden patches terraced on steep hillsides, we caught sight of a white house that seemed to be at the top of things, so far as our route was concerned.

Building Railroads of Sheepskins AILROAD building is now the order of the day in all countries, and though it seems almost incredible, the Turk has caught the railroad fever and is not only projecting, but actually constructing, and has partly finished, what will be one of the longest and to Santa Fe, N. M., and from Constantinople to Mecca is approximately that from New York to Prescott, Ariz. The Turk, therefore, who has always been regarded as slow going, must be conceded to have more industry than generally goes to his credit. There is, however, behind the religious motive, a political end to be gained. The sultan is the nominal head of the Moslem world. But as the holy places, Mecca, Medina and several others, are in a land far distant from the center of the empire's political influence, the ruling officials in those cities have, for hundreds of years, been quasi-independent, some have thrown off entirely the Turkish bond and actually maintained their independence. Then, again, pilgrims from Syria, who attempt to travel by the caravan routes through Arabia, Petraea and along the Red sea, have long been subject to pillage by the wandering tribes of Bedonins. A railroad through this country with fortified stations at short intervals, would bring all northwest Arabia under real, rather than nominal Turkish control and restore to the sultan genuine authority as "protectors of the holy places." The Turkish government is always harassed by its creditors. The moment a piaster comes into the treasury, all the creditors make a grab for it, so the question of financing the enterprise became one of prime importance, for no money, no road. In this dilemma the wily Turk hit upon a happy expedient. The sultan issued an irade commanding that every Moslem family which sacrificed a sheep at the feast of Bairam should bring in the skin to the nearest government official, and these skins should be sold for the benefit of the road. As every Turk does the sheep-killing act at Bairam, it was figured out that after the officials had stolen all they could with- Special Master E. V. McKeever filed report to this effect in the supreme "ON THE Trail of a Bold Buccaneer," published herewith for the first time, is a bit of Venezuelan history which has never before been told and is not to be found in any of the standard historical works on Venezuela. It is replete with thrilling situations embodied in the capture of Caracas by Amory Preston's buccaneers. While the bandits were stealing along the secret mountain path to Caracas, the able-bodied inhabitants of the city took positions of defense along the main thoroughfare to the capital of Venezuela. The desperadoes were discovered by an infirm old man who attempted to resist their invasion with true patriotic instinct. It was easy to overpower him. The Caracas traitor who guided Preston over the secret path was hanged before bret path was hanged before the city was entered. Once in Caracas, looting and murder held sway. While in Caracas, visiting Cipriano Castro, who was then president of Venezuela, it was Mr. Pickard's good fortune to meet men who were familiar with this unrecorded invasion. Mr. Pickard was given permission to make the journey over the secret pathway. He took photographs of the smugglers then inhabiting the mountain wilds. These photographs are reproduced herewith. These same smugglers to-day hold forth in the mountains. Smugglers, by preying upon the Venezuelan government, caused the rupture between Holland and Venezuela, which trouble is said to have been the cause of the flight of Castro and his subsequent expulsion from most ports on this side of the world in the southern hemisphere. RAIL over the mountains to Caracas?" said the dusky, scantily clad women who were energetically doing the family washing in the brawling stream above Macuto. "Oh, yes, that is by way of La Guayra. There is no longer a direct path from here, but we have heard of the trail of the buccaneers." “T "Direct to Caracas over the mountains?" said the little old keeper of the sea-baths, who has buried six wives and declares he is looking for the seventh. "Certainly there is such a route, but it isn't much used now, and you are sure to lose your way." "I am one," replied the doctor, grimly. Half an hour of clambering and we struck a better defined trail. "This is the path taken by donkeys," explained Aganito. AILROAD building is now the order of the day in all countries, and though it seems almost incredible, the Turk has caught the railroad fever and is not only projecting, but actually constructing, and has partly finished, what will be one of the longest and most important railroad lines in the old world. Its object is to connect the political capital of Islam with the holy places which every Moslem is expected to visit at least once during his lifetime. As the Moslems number from 175,000,000 to 200,000,000, the AILROAD building is now the order of the day in all countries, and though it seems almost incredible, the Turk has caught the railroad fever and is not only projecting, but actually constructing, and has partly finished, what will be one of the longest and most important railroad lines in the old world. Its object is to connect the political capital of Islam with the holy places which every Moslem is expected to visit at least once during his lifetime. As the Moslems number from 175,000,000 to 200,000,000, the annual pilgrimage from all parts of the Mahommedan world is of enormous proportions. That from India and the east is provided for by steamship lines, but it is now proposed by the Turkish government to offer special inducements to its people in Asia Minor, Syria, Palestine and even North Africa, to make the sacred pilgrimages at their ease, by providing railroad transportation from Constantinople to Mecca. To comprehend the magnitude of the enterprise, it is necessary to remember that old world distances are not always understood in the new world. The scale of the maps is usually much smaller, so we sometimes get the idea that the United States is the largest country on the earth, because it looks largest on the map. A better conception of the Turkish undertaking will be gained by the knowledge that, taking Constantinople as a center, Paris will be on the edge of a circle with a radius of 3,000 kilometers (about 2,250 miles), while Mecca will be 500 kilos beyond the edge of that circle. In other words, to make the matter plainer, the distance from Constantinople to Paris is about that from New York "Not a drop of brandy left in the house. But we can serve you with fine Muscatel." So Muscatel it was perforce, and surprisingly good, too. A full quart soon vanished, and the doctor nearly fell over a thousand-foot precipice in the front yard when the price was named—three reals, or 30 cents American. That confirmed the suspicions that had been rising in our minds. The place must be a nest of smugglers, and it took on an added air of romance. We must needs photograph all the inhabitants, from the lanky youth with the ancient muzzle-loading shotgun to the naked babies and the mournful donkey, and then sought out a shady spot where the doctor might steal the Amory Preston's remarkable feat. "The English were doing unpleasant could find them, on sea or land, and an with several vessels and some 500 ra, it occurred to him that there must only he could get to it. So he landed, into the mountains and moved along Spaniard, Villalpando by name, who English over the mountains to Caralimb was made in the night, over this early dawn the buccaneers saw their y. Not the further services brought other sets through the forest glorious valley of it. Pen nor came garden land in var white buildings re thousand feet bel were the southern and brown slopes. that very point P Caracas. The glia which the traitor "It was in June, 1595," he began. "The English were doing unpleasant things to the Spanish wherever they could find them, on sea or land, and Preston was running about the Caribbean with several vessels and some 500 bold buccaneers. Approaching La Guayra, it occurred to him that there must be considerable plunder on Caracas if only he could get to it. So he landed, chased the inhabitants of La Guayra up into the mountains and moved along to Guaiamaento. There he caught a Spaniard, Villalpando by name, who promised, for a bag of gold, to lead the English over the mountains to Caracas by the shortest trail. The difficult climb was made in the night, over this route we are travelling, and in the early dawn the buccaneers saw their prize lying below them in its fair valley. Not needing the further services out detection there would still be 70,000,000 francs. In addition, contributions would be made by the faithful, and that finally the road itself, as construction progressed, ought to bring in a revenue, increasing year by year, and so, trusting to faith and sheep skins, the work was begun. The portion of the road thus far completed is from Damascus to Medinah Salih. From Constantinople the lines under construction run directly southwest to Aleppo, with side branches to Smyrna and Angora. Near Aleppo a projected line will lead, by way of Bagdad, to the Persian gulf. From Medinah Salih the road is under construction to Medina, while surveys have been made from Medina to Mecca and the Red sea. The route is to pass east of Jerusalem and the Dead sea, on the high lands of Syria, Moab and northern Arabia. The engineering difficulties are serious, but by no means insurmountable, and are not to be compared with those of the Union Pacific. The Caifa line descends from Deraa with a mighty sweep down to the sea, while the chains of mountains in Moab must be traversed by the aid of loops, tunnels and bridges. At Damascus the level is 2,000 feet above the sea, and varies from that to 3,000 feet at the highest point south. Great difficulties are presented by that portion of the line from Constantinople to Damascus, for the giant ranges from the Caucasus and Armenia extend through Asia Minor almost to the Aegean and Mediterranean. So it is believed that at some points on this part of the line the roadbed will rise to a height of 3,000 to 4,000 feet above the sea. Several hundreds of miles of this part are now actually under construction, tunnels are bored, viaducts and bridges are run between important towns. There are now completed lines from Constantinople to Angora, from Smyrna far into the vilayet of Konieh, and these portions will be feeders of the main line. Work on the line is greatly expedited by the labors of a division of the Turkish army, it being difficult to secure labor in the country to be traversed, particularly in northern Arabia, where the Bedouins are few and unendurably lazy. The Turkish soldiers themselves are not particularly energetic, but, strange to say, this service is much desired, not only from the fact that the soldier-workmen are actually paid, which most of the soldier-army is ay haire. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR RESTORER. P "Yes," said Agapito, encouraging, "that is the end of the climbing. Another range of hills cuts off the view of Caracas from there, but the way is all down hill." So we robbed a lonely orange tree and scrambled on with renewed vigor. That white house, when we did reach it, was a joy. Only a rambling conglomeration of adobe rooms and courts, 'swarming with Indian men, women and children, it was a haven of rest for our wearied bodies. "We want some cool drink quickly," said the doctor. "Beer, brandy or wine?" asked the swarthy, handsome young matron, who seemed to be the head of the establishment. "Beer." "I'm sorry, but we have no beer to-day." "Then some brandy in water." brought other sets of muscles into play. Soon there were mints of viscous through the forest, and suddenly, as we rounded an enormous rock, all the glorious valley of Caracas opened out before our dazzled eyes. Pen nor camera can do justice to that magnificent sight. Miles of fair garden land in varied shades of green, glistening streams, a great city with white buildings roofed with red tiles and with grove-topped hills, lay two thousand feet below us, all bathed in soft sunlight; and for a background were the southern mountains with fleecy clouds drifting across their emerald and brown slopes. We gazed long in silence, fancying with reason that from that very point Preston and his buccaneers had caught their first sight of Caracas. The giant tree beneath which we stood might well be the one on which the traitor guide was hanged. of Villalpando, Preston had him hanged to a tree as a warning to traitors, the bag of gold for which he had sold his city being tied to his feet. "Certain of the people of La Guayra had warned Caracas of the landing of the Englishmen, and the entire fighting force of the city, led by the Alcaldes, Garcia Gonzalez and Francisco Reballedo, marched out to meet the foe. But it was taken for granted the buccaneers would cross by the "royal road," which was comparatively easy, so the Spaniards stationed themselves on that highway, laying several cleverly placed ambushes. Meanwhile Preston and his men had quietly walked into the city, without opposition. No, that isn't quite true, for Don Alonso Andres de Ledesma had been left behind on account of his advanced age. Desperate, but undismayed, the gallant old cavalier donned his arm, mounted his horse, couched his lance and single-handed disputed the entrance of the English into the city. 'Don't hurt him,' cried Preston. 'He's too brave to die.' But Don Alonso charged the five hundred and fell mortally wounded. "Preston looted the city thoroughly and the Spaniards returned to find him safely fortified in some of their public buildings. A week later he marched out unmolested, recrossed the mountains and set sail with all the treasure of Caracas. The name of Don Alonso de Ledesma is still honored by the few remaining ancient Spanish families in Venezuela, but there is no statue of him in Caracas." Rested and refreshed, we resumed the trail and now came our great disappointment. Agapito's memory had played him false, and the mountain range that still rose hundreds of feet in front of us must be crossed before the descent began. We wailed bitterly, but toiled on through a dense jungle of tall trees, thick shrubbery and interlacing vines. Just as the sun reached the zenith we really came to the top, some 5,000 feet above the sea, and the downward slide not, but their term of military service is reduced on third, to say nothing of spiritual advantages promised by the sultan. German and French engineers do the planning, foreign workmen are engaged for the bridges, tunnels and viaducts, while the soldiers are employed for the mechanical labor. The management is ostensibly in the hands of several boards composed of pashas, beys and cabinet ministers, who meet in Constantinople and, so far as can be learned, do nothing but object to every report made by the engineers and suggest tunnels when the line could as well follow the caravan route, which has been in use for a thousand years. HIT CEILING AND BE A DIVA. Madame began: "The most tedious phase of the course in voice culture is learning to breathe. I shall test you now, free of charge, and, if you do well, we may be able to shorten that portion." Hope leaped into the Young Girl's eyes. "I took lessons in that out home," she replied. But madame sniffed. ' "Lie down." The Young Girl was startled; she even ventured to hesitate. "Yes, yes. On your back. It is my own method and has been indorsed by the most eminent throat and lung specialists. So. Relax your muscles. Now." Madame seized a bit of white paper from the piano and tore it into strips, one of which she handed to the Young Girl. "Chew this," she said, "until you have made it into just such a spitball as you used to make in school. Then fill your lungs to their greatest capacity, form your lips as if to whistle and, with all your strength, blow ceilingward." Visibly startled, but visibly still more impressed, the Young Girl did as she was bidden and blew the spitball about six feet into the air. Madame nodded approval. "Not at all bad," she conceded. "I think we can materially curtail this portion of the course." "The Young Girl was scrambling to her feet. "When—what will it be completed?" she asked. "Just as soon as you can hit the ceiling," said madame. Asking Father Stock Subject for Jesting By HELEN OLDFIELD True, paterfamilias is far from being the autocrat he was of yore, and the modern maiden makes her lover's path much more easy for him than by any possibility the girl of the past, however much that way disposed, could do. The modern parent knows his limitations better than to attempt to interfere when his daughter has made up her mind to exercise her legal right to choose her own husband, with papa's consent if it be forthcoming, but quite cheerfully without it should it be withheld. But what the modern father has suppressed in drastic exercise of authority has made for an access of paternal interest in his daughter's future, and of worldly wisdom in his treatment of the prospective son-in-law. Practical enough to realize that he does not hold the situation in the hollow of his hand, as did the paternal parent of yore, he is ready to admit that with the girl of to-day to deal with he cannot enshrine her far from ineligible suitors, nor, should a man fall in love with her, can he compel her to say him nay simply because he does not approve of him. The doctrine of individuality has been too well learned by the modern daughter to permit of treatment of the old-fashioned bread-and-water and locked-up-in-her-bedroom order. Side by side with the precept, "Children, obey your parents," she places its fellow: "Fathers, provoke not your children to wrath." All the same, however, the well-brought-up father of the period loves his daughter not a whit less than did the father of the past, and though he may conceal his feeling he is just as suspicious as ever. Thus he is apt to make the wooing of the gay swain a trying affair. Even if a man takes the proper view of the matter, and with due humility confesses that neither he nor any other man (which latter admission comes easier) is good enough for the girl of his choice, he naturally is nervous at asking for so great a boon. Parents who value their daughter do right to exercise due forethought before intrusting her to a comparative stranger. Moreover, too great willingness to be rid of her on the part of a woman's family scarcely augurs well for the happiness of the man who marries her. Parents often are placed in great difficulties by reason of their daughter's love affairs. They may refuse to countenance an engagement, but they cannot change the minds of the young people. On the contrary, violent opposition frequently brings a sense of martyrdom which serves to strengthen the misplaced affection, when, with judicious indifference, it might have died a natural death. It comes to a question whether the affair shall go on in secret, virtually ignored by them, or whether they shall so far countenance it as to leave no excuse for deception. By inference, then, neither Roe nor Doe may expect anything doing if he shall present less than the prescribed three-fifths of the piece of currency. But the national government, still liberally disposed toward Roe and Doe, will accept a fragment that may be less than three-fifths, but clearly more than two-fifths of the original note, paying just half the value of the original bill, however, as penalty for the accident. In the case of James Brown Smith, Esq., known and respected in his home city, he may recover the full value of his note that is under two-fifths measure, provided he will appear before an officer of the law qualified to administer oaths and make affidavit as to time, manner, and place in which the mutilation was accomplished. This affidavit will be attested by the official seal of the officer, who also must be prepared to attest in like manner the good character of the affiant.

Workers are in many cases forced to purchase all work which does not exactly comply with the directions given. A collarmaker made a slight error in the stitching of 12 dozen collars. The unfortunate woman was forced to buy them all at a cost of over $5. The question of the living rooms of shop assistants was also gone into, and here again was disclosed a system of fines of the most cruel description. In a large number of cases the food and accommodations are poor, the wages low, and the code of rules and fines most strict and exacting. To give a few examples of shop law. No pictures are allowed on the walls; all bedrooms must be cleared by 8 a. m.; no flowers may be put in water glasses; all lights must be out by 11 o'clock; no matches or candles are allowed. For not turning out the gas in a bedroom the fine is 25 cents. In one drapery house a mistake in a bill entails a fine of 12 cents; talking to a girl in another department is punished by a similar fine. In one factory, it was said, girls are actually fined for sneezing.

At a recent official inquiry into factory conditions in England the evidence showed some queer instances of petty tyranny upon the part of employers. In a cotton mill, should a weaver do the most trifling injury to a piece of cloth he has to pay for the whole piece. This may swallow his entire week's wages; but there is this to be said: He gets the cloth, and at wholesale price, and may cut it up and sell it to his neighbors.

LOOKED A LITTLE UNSTABLE Body Servant of Gen. Mahone Doubtful of the Qualities of His Master's "Props." Gen. Adalbert R. Buffington, at a dinner in Madison, N. J., told a number of civil war stories. "Gen. Mahone," he said, "was very thin. One cold and windy December morning in '64 he was taking a nap in his tent when his old colored servant, 'Uncle Davy,' tiptoed in, and, stumbling in the darkness, knocked down the general's folding cot and spilled him out on the frozen ground. "Gen. Mahone jumped up furiously, seized a scabbard and made for Davy. Davy ran. The general gave chase. "Uncle Davy tore up hill and down dale till he was pretty well out of breath; then he looked back over his shoulder at his master, who bounded after him on slender limbs, blue and thin, his long, while night shirt fluttering in the chill morning. "Fo' de lan's sake, Mars' William, the exhausted Davy yelled, desperately, 'yo hain't trustin' yo'e' in dis wind on dem legs, is you?" AGONIZING ITCHING Eczema for a Year—Got No Relief Even at Skin Hospital—In Despair Until Cuticura Cured Him. "I was troubled with a severe itching and dry, scrufy skin on my ankles, feet, arms and scalp. Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon saying: "I never saw such a bad case of eczema." But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up in despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unbearable itching after two or three applications of Cuticura Ointment. I continued its use, combined with Cuticura Soap and Pills, and I was completely cured. Henry Searle, Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 8 and 10, 1907." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props., Boston.

If your Tabernacle, Temple or Tent is not in this Directory, or if there is any error, please notify me at once. W. N. MILLER, Editor. It is noticeable that the German papers have made no outcry over the fact that King Edward has personally written to Andrew Carnegie. There is a bank clerk in Elyria, O., who never has any difficulty in striking a balance. His father was a slack-rope walker, and his mother was a trick bicycle rider. Were the Mrs. Gilman brand of sociology to come into vogue there would soon be no society for sociology to operate upon and the exuders of guff would be among the unemployed. Miss Ross Becker has been appointed a claim agent and United States pension attorney at Missouri. She has been known for years as one of the most successful women in St. Louis, being a notary public and an insurance agent. Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "lalud out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an !l!-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdoings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge adivsed the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from far and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Sald an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary? She is simply candy crazy and, of course, eating nothing substantial makes her pale, if not downright yellow." Sald the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abbor the stuff! It is herola treatment, but it will cure her appetite for candy." Poor Mary! says the Indianapolis Star, how much pleasure she is going to lose for lack of a little self-denial.
