This order aside from their splendid Taborian home, located in Topeka, recently purchased, has for the past of eighteen years been doing a wonderful work in the splendid uplift of our race.

"Who are the Knights and the Daughters of Tabor?" is a question which has more than once been asked by some uninitiated colored man or woman and more particular by our white neighbors. To tell exactly, all about who and why of this splendid Order and its good work for humanity and our race would fill volumes of live and interesting reading. In a short space we out line. First:- The Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor is purely a Negro organization; orginated, created and designed by the brain of the late Father Moses Dickerson, a full-blooded Negro tor the benefit, protection progress of the Negro race. While the Order has the distinction of never having given ite secrets to a white man- the growth, progress and prosperity of J. [Name] SIR A. W. HOPKINS, C. G. S. Leavenworth, Kansas For Eighteen Years He Has Made A Faithful Official the Order has been and is simple marvelous and wonderful. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor prove most conclusively the falsity of the statements of the enemies of the Negro "That the Negro is not capable of self government." This Order from its beginning with Twelve has flourished solely under Negro management and supervision until today in America its members number as nearly one-hundred (100,000) thousand. Second:- The Order of Twelve is designed to encourage the Negro, in making him a better and mort loyal citizen, to spur the race on in acquiring homes engaging in business and making a moral standing as men and women.

As women emerge from the position of artificial dependence which they now hold, the desire that beauty shall interpenetrate the lives of both men and women, and be no longer a mere ornament, will gain ground, and music will go through the same phases of development which have made all the other arts in their day nationally educative and universally significant. These flourished only as an idealization of the working life of a whole people. Wages of Women in New York By L. C. ODENCRANTZ At the end of a year due During a working period of says L. C.

There is no better exponent of this belief than M. Camille Bellaigue. In his opinion music is the most social and sociological of the arts. He remarks how it has always appealed the most strongly to apostles of the people who make social regeneration the object and hope of their lives. The people, he says, are by nature musicians. They are not architects, or painters, or sculptors. Music exists for the people, not the public, and the decadence of music means the triumph of materialism and the loss of social faith. he read of many a thinker and reformer, and was found music both a rest and a call to work; moral power as great as, and even superior to, a away the devil, who was no musician, with a season of deep depression rousing himself for freedom and humanity by writing aessity of socializing music, not as a specialist learning, but as a patriot glowing with noble some consolation in the platonic perfection he suffered through his love for his fellow Frederick the Great, indefatigably learning a secret, to old age, amidst the applause of palace of music, gathering round him the day of the day, planning and founding an opera marches and concertos, and sandwiching all campaigns and councils with unflagging and in the position of artificial dependence which beauty shall interpenetrate the lives of both longer a mere ornament, will gain ground, and some phases of development which have made nay nationally educative and universally sig- Here are some records of girl workers in New York City, showing the difficulty they have in holding jobs for any length of time.

H. ```markdown ``` A Missionary Appropriation (Copyright, by J. B. Lippincott Co.) The New York Express thundered into the trim little station at Wheatley on Saturday night just as the clock in the waiting room struck nine. Clang went the brakes, out flew the mail bags and finally down the steps of the end car came the passengers. There were five in cadet uniforms and the Burglar. No one, however, who was not personally acquainted with this last individual would have suspected an artist of his profession in the spare, dapper, overcoated figure, carrying a suit case, who walked briskly up the platform. Past the waiting room he sped with hurrying feet, for there was a house in the neighborhood to "pull off" within the next two hours and no time to lose. He had just let himself quickly out of the station door and was hastening down the steps, grateful for their obscurity, when there came heavy footfalls behind him and a hand was suddenly clapped on his shoulder. "Well! Well!" said a loud, cherry voice, "here you are! I thought I was never going to catch you!" The Burglar faced about like a shot, eyeing, with growing alarm, the burly individual in the fur overcoat. "Detective" flashed through his mind as he began stiffly: "I think you have the advantage of me, sir!" "Of course I have!" laughed the genial stranger, taking him warmly by both hands. "My dear sir, let me assure you that you are a very well-known character here and that Wheatley is delighted to get hold of you at last." Icy shivers crept clear down to the Burglar's shoe laces at this ominous declaration, while for a moment near prospects of jail and hand-cuffs obscured his mental vision. Yet he pulled himself together and, with a last feeble attempt at dignity: "Look here!" he blustered, "you've made a mistake; let me go, please; I'm in a hurry; a friend is expecting me." But the other only smiled knowingly. "That's all right," he said, "just let me explain, sir. Dr. Delano hoped to meet you himself at the train to take you to the rectory, but circumstances—that is to say, measles in the family—made it impossible, so I am to have the privilege of entertaining you during your stay here. My name is Boyleston—Josiah P. Boyleston—senior warden of 'All Angels.' Now, Mr. Swift," taking his bewildered victim firmly by the arm, "just step this way, sir, my team's waiting right around the corner." "Mr. Swift!" At this magic word a sudden light dawned in the Burglar's troubled brain. "Old party's spotted the wrong cove," he told himself between gasps as he was hurried breathlessly along the platform. "Takes me for a pal; now how'm I going to get out of this without a fuss?" At the corner of the station a smart mail paheton was drawn up and a groom in livery stood at the horses' heads. "Here, Smithers," Mr. Boyleston called to that functionary, "take this gentleman's grip—well, sir." with a genial smile, "won't you step on board?" His supposed guest hesitated a moment. "And, indeed, why not?" he argued with himself with lightning rapidity. An explanation would undoubtedly be risky at this late hour, while—after all—the Davidge house could just as well be operated on another night. Besides, since the real Mr. Swift was not on hand to be entertained, why should not be, the Burglar, take advantage of this tempting invitation? So with almost instant decision he stepped nimply into the trap and allowed himself to be covered by the buffalo robe. His host took the lines. The groom swung himself up behind. They were off at a spanking trot. Before them stretched a broad, asphalt avenue. The lights of pretentious residences gleamed through the trees on either side. "My house ain't a block from the church," Mr. Boyleston informed his guest smilingly, "right handy for you, sir." A bit mystified by this announcement, the Burglar nevertheless acquiesced, eyeing the good man beside him critically from his astrakhan overcoat to the jolly red face surmounting it. "Plain sort of customer," was his mental summing up. "Not much on polish, made his own bile—and a pretty sizable one, I guess." "Well! Well! Here we are already." The Burglar peered sharply round as the trap swung up a pebbled drive, drawing up with a flourish beneath a gigantic porte-cochete. Within, all was a blaze of lights, and the strange guest, as he stumbled up the wide marble steps, had a foggy impression of a red plush hall adorned with palms, and then of a stout lady in black silk and jet, who rushed towards him with outstretched hands. "I'm real glad to see you, sir," she said heartily, "and I assure you it's an honor to welcome you to our house." "Thank you, madam," he responded appropriately. "My stay with you promises to be one not only of pleasure, but er—" his voice shook, "doubtless of profit to me!" "My man will show you to your room, sir," went on Mrs. Boyleston, much impressed by her visitor's manners. "Dinner's over, but we'll have a little bite of something. Mr. Swift, as soon as you're ready, sir!" When the Burglar at length found himself alone in the magnificent guest chamber his repressed mirth broke forth over the delicious irony of the situation. "Me a missionary," he chuckled, as he carefully examined the silver articles on the dressing table. "If that ain't the limit! Well! Well! I've shammed butler and even valet many a time for the sake of a haul, and by gosh! I'm willing to enter the church if necessary to get the 'orntray' of a house like this!" Fifteen minutes later in the gorgeous peacock-blue and Nile-green dining room "Mr. Swift" sat the guest of honor at a well-laden board, facing a buffet the contents of which made his professional eye glitter, while his host plied him with delicacies. "You know," Mrs. Boyleston informed him earnestly as she stuffed his plate with chicken salad, "I've always had the greatest respect for a man in your walk of life. It seems to me, Mr. Swift, that yours is the noblest calling in the world." The Burglar merely smiled modestly, as he raised his well-laden fork to his mouth. "It is a beautiful thought," his hostess pursued, with increased enthusiasm, "of how you go from place to place just helping people." Her guest choked uncomfortably over his chocolate, reflecting that his business, as it happened, consisted solely in helping himself. Misplaced admiration is rather disconcerting, and in some confusion the Burglar turned to his host. "I say!" he began with a hasty glance around the room, "that's a handsome piece of bronze over there; genuine Satsurl, isn't it?" "Is it?" Mr. Boyleston inquired, gazing at the Mandarin opposite with pleased surprise. "Well, you don't say. I know it cost me a cool two hundred, but I don't pretend to be anything, of a connyseer." "Conne-sure, pa," prompted Mrs. Boyleston reprovingly. "My husband just got the house chuck full of expensive classic ornaments!" she informed her guest loftily. "I'm a bit of a collector myself," the Burglar observed with considerable truth. "You see, in the course of my travels I've picked up a lot of that sort of things, as well as er—pictures, and even silver and jewelry." He had not overshot the mark. "Now, that's good," ejaculated his host with manifest delight. "I'd just like to show you a sapphire necklace I gave Malvina on Christmas. It's in a safe upstairs, for the fact is, there's been a good deal of alarm about burglar lately, and one has to be careful—" "Well, sir," he continued, breaking off as the butler entered the room. "I'm going to take you round the house after tea and get your opinion on a lot of our truck." Mr. Boyleston was as good as his word, and it was a delightful and unusual experience for the Burglar to have a wealthy householder lead him from room to room pointing out each object of value, with much useful information. The wonderful evening was concluded by an inspiring peep into his host's safe—the mechanism of which that open-hearted gentleman carefully explained to his interested guest. "It's been a great pleasure, showing my things to such an appreciative man," he said warmly when he at length conducted the Burglar to his own room. "Well, good-night, sir; I suppose you've got to work up your sermon now for to-morrow. That's right, go ahead and plead the cause of the heathen. There's plenty of us rich fellows in the neighborhood, and I give you full leave to get as much out of me as you can." Cheered by this liberal permission the Burglar prepared to carry out his host's injunctions to the letter—as soon as the house should have quieted down. The Wheatley Daily Intelligencer of Monday morning had these sensational head-lines: ROBBERY IN HIGH LIFE. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS GONE IN A NIGHT. Then, below in diminishing print: "The handsome residence of Mr. Josiah P. Boyleston, on Fairlawn avenue, was entered last night, the thief, who is believed to be a well-known New York crook, making off with silver, jewelry and other valuables to the amount, it is estimated, of $50,000. "Mr. Boyleston declined to discuss the robbery this morning, merely stating that the case had been reported at once to the police, who were doing their utmost to trace the fugitive." One Mean Trick.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a serious turn of mind, but he has a bit of humor in his makeup, nevertheless. Being looked upon as the shrewdest politician in the president's cabinet, he is the objective point for newspaper correspondents on cabinet days. Last week as Mr. Meyer emerged from the White House a newspaper man asked: "Mr. Postmaster General, can't you give us some news about the cabinet meetings?" "There really is nothing to say," replied the cabinet officer. "We discussed nothing of especial importance." "Do you mean to say you did not discuss politics?" the newspaper man queried. The postmaster general burst into laughter. When he recovered his usual serenity he said: "Do you suppose we were all muzzled?" A. Youthful Idea. "See, my son," said an enthusiastic parent, anxious to impress the beauties and resources of nature, "what beautiful green dresses of leaves the trees have now, when in winter they are quite bare." "I guess," said the youngster, thoughtfully, "that wher winter comes they pack these pretty green dresses in their trunks, don't they?" Leave It to Him. A Wichita man was fussing because of his aching teeth. "Why don't you go to a dentist?" asked one of his friends. "Oh, I haven't got the nerve," was the reply.

On being led to the Turkish sovereign he knelt as if to pay him homage, and then stabbed Amurath with a sudden and mortal stroke of his dagger. Milosch sprang from his knees, and being gifted with great activity and strength, cleared himself of the enemies that thronged around him, and found his way to where his horse had been left, but before he could remount the Janissarieed overpowered him and hacked him to pieces. Amurath realized that his wound was mortal, but had sufficient presence of mind to give orders for a charge of his reserves, which decided the victory in favor of the Ottomans. He died pronouncing the death doom of King Lazarus, who was conquered. But that was not the saddest death of the day. When Prince Bajazet realized that the victory over the Christians was accomplished, and he was acknowledged by his father's generals as their sovereign, he immediately ordered his brother, Yacoub, who had fought so vallantly by his side, to be seized and put to death. He justified the act by saying that "Sedition is worse than murder," a saying that has caused so many Ottoman sultans to commit acts of cruelty since that time. Bajazet commenced his reign upon a battlefield, and followed up the war against the Servians with such vigor and success that he was named Yildirim, or "Thunderbolt." After completing the Servian war, Bajazet returned to Asia and increased the territory of the sultan by conquest of several adjoining states. Caramania, which had long held out as an independent state, acknowledged Bajazet as sovereign. Glutted with victory and rapidly augmented power, Bajazet gave himself over to sensual excesses of the foulest kind. He was the first of the Ottoman princes who violated the prohibition of the koran against the use of wine. All Pasha, his favorite general, set his master the example of drunkenness, and the infamy of these two lives sully the pages of Oriental history. Bajazet was startled from his revels by a crusade of Christian chivalry of Frankistan. The Christian army marched against the Ottomans down through Transylvania, Wallachia and Servia. They captured Widdin, Orsoca, and invested Nicopolis, but Bajazet marched against them and ingloriously dispersed them. After the conflict Bajazet pitched his tent in front of Nicopolis and rode over the field of battle. When he saw the number of his dead soldiers it enraged him so that he said: "I will have this slaughter well avenged on the prisoners." The next morning the Christian prisoners, to the number of ten thousand, were led out with their hands bound behind them and with halters around their necks. After allowing 24 Christian nobles from among the prisoners their liberty the sultan gave the signal for the slaughter to commence, and the unhappy captives fell in front of his tent. The battle of Nicopolis was the high-water mark in the power of Bajazet. He soon made preparations to invest Constantinople. The Byzantine king searched all Europe for assistance, and even descended to the humiliation of asking aid from his old-time enemy, the pope of Rome, but all in vain. Just at the moment when it seemed that Bajazet was on the point of entering Constantinople a cluod arose in the eastern horizon in the shape of Tamerlane, the Tartar, who, though 70 years of age, had succeeded in uniting a number of conquered provinces into a strong empire, and had marched against the dominion of the Ottoman empire, captured the ancient city of Sivas, and put the inhabitants to the sword, killing among others Prince Ertoghrul, the son of Bajazet, who, when he heard of the death of his son, hurried at the head of his veteran troops against Tamerlane. He seemed, however, to have lost his usual caution and sagacity; with only 120,000 men he swept forward against an army of 600,000, and, to show his recklessness, engaged in a grand hunt in the neighborhood of Angora until they were entirely exhausted. Returning to his quarters, he found that the wily Tartar had taken possession of his camp and poisoned the stream, and his weary and thirsty troops had to spend the night without water. The next day he led the dispirited army to battle, and while many of them gave a good account of themselves, others were so exhausted that they gave themselves over to the enemy, and on the field of Angora, where his ancestor, Ertoghrul, nearly two hundred years previous had laid the foundations of the Ottoman empire, he was overthrown, and his empire shattered to fragments. Bajazet, with one of his sons, was captured, and made a show in the triumphal pageant of his conqueror. He was carried in a latticed litter, and there arose a current story that he had been placed in an iron cage. Thus the empire of the Ottomans, that had swept over Asia and a large part of Europe, till it had earned the title, "Wrath of God," suddenly terminated, and the Ottoman power seemed gone forever. Nothing so characterizes the rule of the Turk as its recuperative power. Often has it been seemingly overthrown and swept from the face of the earth, but immediately there arises again a mighty power having the same spirit as its predecessor. Mohammed I., the son of Bajazet, took the shattered fragments which his father had left and began the work of building up the Ottoman power. The Greeks said of him that he was "as persevering as a camel." He was the youngest son, and, Gen. Zachary T. Sweeney, for several years consul-general for the United States at Constantinople, is one of the most widely known men on the lecture platforms of the country. His fame as a speaker extends from Maine to California, and his wide assortment of knowledge of Turkish subjects has made him an authority on Ottoman history and affairs. At present he is state fish commissioner in Indiana. MONTESQUIEU says that the cause of the greatness of the Roman state lay in the fact that its early kings were all grand personages. "One finds now where in history an unbroken succession of such statesmen and such generals." All of which is true when an plied to the first sultans of the Ottoman empire than to the kings of Rome. PETER H. BURKE The first sultans were men of pure minds, lofty impulses and great probity of life. Jouannin says of the early period of the Ottoman empire: "It was more prolific in great men than in any other dynasty which has reigned on the face of the globe." The first sultan was Othman, whose name, translated into English, would be "bonebreaker." He was celebrated for the length and Gen. Sweetley was celebrated for the length and strength of his arm. Like Arterexerxes Longimanus, he could stand erect and touch his knees with his hands. He was, also, called Kara Osman, because of his great personal beauty. His personal costume was exceedingly simple. He wore a turban of white linen wound around a red center. He was largely a man of peace, and for many years his reign was one of peace, and much of his military career was defensive rather than offensive. He allowed the widest toleration in faith, and protection to person and property, alike to Christian and Mohammedan. In A. D. 1299 he coloned money with his own effigy, and caused prayers to be said in his name, the official declaration of his sultanate. He was, nevertheless, a man of strong passions when deeply aroused. On one occasion he summoned his followers and announced the intention of attacking a Greek fortress, but his aged uncle, Dundar, who had marched with Othman's father, Ertoghrul, from the Euphrates, counseled against the attack, and set forth the danger of provoking the neighboring princes by such an act. Enraged at these words of caution, Othman shot his aged uncle dead upon the spot. The fortress was attacked and taken, which led to many other offensive enterprises, which culminated in the surrender of the great city, Brusa, in 1326. Othman died at Saegud, and shortly before his death he called his two sons, Orchan and Alaeddin, to his bedside, and, addressing Orchan, said: "I am dying, and I die without regret, because I leave such a successor as you. Be just; love goodness, and show mercy." His sword is still preserved in the treasury of the empire, and the martial ceremony of girding on this sabre in the mosque of Eyou, of which there were press accounts last week corresponds to the coronation of a king or the inauguration of a president. His ashes repose at Brusa. When Orchan ascended the throne he besought his brother, Alaeddin, to share with him the responsibilities and duties of sovereignty, but his brother firmly refused to do so, because their father gave the succession to Orchan. He, however, agreed to accept the office of vizier, which, in the Ottoman language, means "burden-bearer." This office corresponds to prime minister in England or secretary of state in our country. Alaeddin, by his military legislation, laid the foundation for Ottoman supremacy. He formed the first standing army known to modern history. It was under the reign of Orchan that the Janissaries, so long the scourge of Christendom, were organized. They were composed of children of Christians who were wrested from their families—a thousand of their finest boys each year for over 300 years. They were torn from their parents at a very early age, and were trained to renounce Christianity and preserve the creed of Islam. They were carefully prepared for a soldier's life by severe discipline, which taught them implicit obedience and enabled them to bear without complaint all the hardships of a soldier's life. Orchan captured the city of Nicomedia in the first year of his reign, and four years later the great city of Nice, where the first Ecumenical council was held. Like his predecessor, he never left a captured province till it was thoroughly assimilated to the Ottoman power. Orchan died in 1359 after a reign of 33 years, during which the Ottoman power was extended over a large part of Asia and firmly planted on the European continent, from which it has never been dislodged. The third sultan was Amurath, or, as the Orientalis said, "Murad." He was 40 years of age when he succeeded his father, and reigned 30 years in great prosperity and honor. His first enterprise was to extend the European conquest of his father, but he was checked by a rebellion in the Ottoman dominions, and was compelled to march his army toward the scene of insurrection, which he completely quelled. He then crossed the Hellespont and began a series of conquests in Europe, which were only consummated by his death on the field of Kossova in 1389. He formed many valuable alliances through the marrying of his son, Bajazet, and his daughter, Nifisay. He died upon the battlefield of Kossova. His oldest son, Bajazet, commanded the right, and Prince Yacoub, his second son, the left; Amurath commanded the center with the Janissaries. The Christians were led by King Lazarus, who commanded the center, and Vuk Brankowich led the right, and the king of Bosnia the left. Both armies advanced resolutely to the charge, and for a long time stood their ground firmly while the event of the day was in doubt. While the two armies thus strove to naturally, his elder brothers disputed his right to the crown. They raised opposition st an dards and set up opposition governments, but Mohammed was endowed with great statesman-like qualities, and gradually he eliminated all opposition, and in 1413 became sultan over the entire Ottoman empire. His reign lasted eight years, but in that space he accomplished great things. He was not aggressive like his father, but he was very prompt to resent any encroachment upon his dominions. He was called Chelebi Mohammed, which means "Mohammed, the Gentle," and it was a very apt designation of his character. There are only one or two inhuman things recorded of him. He caused his only surviving brother, Kasim, to be blinded, and he killed the child of Suleyman. The only mitigation that can be plead for these acts of cruelty is that he had experienced so much discomfiture from the jealousies of his brothers that he decided to put out of the way all who might become opposers of him. It is characteristic of Turkish princes that they always aspire to and intrigue for the sultanate, and the reigning sultan is not safe while one is at liberty. Abdul Hamid, the late deposed sultan, imprisoned his brother, Murad, in the palace of the Cheragan until a few years ago, when he ended his imprisonment in death. The present sultan, Mehmet Reshad, was so closely confined in the Yildiz palace that it amounted to actual imprisonment. Mohammed I died in 1421, and was buried near the beautiful green mosque of that ancient capital of the Turks. He was succeeded by Murad II., who was a man of equal prudence and clemency as his predecessor, but his ambition was much greater, and he lost little time in giving proof of it. The Greek emperor, forgetting his cordial relations with Mohammed, and looking upon Murad II., who was then a mere youth of 18 years, with contempt, released a pretended son of Bajazet—Mustafa oy name—who had been for years in close custody at Constantinople. Mustafa subdued the European provinces, and seemed in a fair way for some time of displanting Murad, but he was at last overthrown and hanged, "to convince the world that he was an impostor." Murad again proceeded to invest Constantinople. He had drawn his lines from the Golden to the Wooden gate, when a revolt in Asia Minor caused him to hastily cross the Bosporus in order to put down an insurrection of one of his brothers. Murad's fighting qualities were soon put to a severe test. The Christian states were all inflamed, and Hunyady was their leader. He was supposed to be a son of King Sigismund and the beautiful Elizabeth Morisney, but whatever his parentage, he was valiant, fortunate and famous. For 20 years he was the terror of the Ottomans. At Hermanstadt he totally routed the Turkish army of 20,000 men and publicly hacked their general to pieces. He was as cruel and bloodthirsty as any of the Turks, and his favorite music for dinner was the shriek of dying prisoners. He also defeated the Turks at Vasasy and Nissa. He made the fearful passage of the Balkans in winter, following the Turks, who had skillfully barred the passes and formed an icy wall by wetting the roads in freezing weather. But, for some unknown reason, he suddenly abandoned the campaign, and returned to Budapest with a large amount of plunder and captives. Murad seized this opportunity to negotiate a treaty, which was solemnly sworn upon the Gospel and the koran to last for a period of ten years. The death of his oldest son so sorely afflicted Murad that he turned from the joys of empire to peace and retirement, and abdicated in favor of his son, Mohammed II., and retired to Magnesia to spend the remainder of his days. No sooner was this news conveyed to the Christians than they resolved to break the treaty of peace, and the pope and Greek emperor used their spiritual influence to induce Hunyady to break his oath, claiming that "oaths are not to be kept with infidels." Hunyady was finally influenced to break faith, and marched upon the unsuspecting Turks with 20,000 men. He took a number of strange places, and on reaching the Black sea marched as far as Varna, where he learned that Murad had been aroused by his advance and had collected an army of 40,000 men, which were then being conveyed across the Bosporus by Genoese vessels. When the armies met a copy of the violated treaty was placed on the point of a lance and raised high above the Turkish standard as a visible appeal to the lord of truth, who punishes perjury. The Hungarians were ingloriously defeated, and Hunyady was compelled to retreat in disorder; after which Murad again retired to Magnesia; but a revolt of the Janissaries against his force recalled him to the responsibilities of leader, when he reigned six years longer, and died in 1451, with undiminished prestige and glory. Five years after Murad's death, Mohammed II. invaded Europe and laid siege to Belgrade, the key to Hungary. Hunyad stirred himself to a valiant defense, and John Capistran came to his aid with a band of 60,000 crusaders, who had gathered together to fight for Christendom. The Turks were defeated. Mohammed was wounded, and 25,000 Turks lay dead upon the field of battle. In less than a month Hunyad died, and 60 days later was followed to the grave by John Capistran. The reign of Mohammed II. was marked by violence and treachery. Again and again he broke faith with his enemies, and garrisons which surrendered under the solemn pledge of the honors of war, met with ruthless slaughter. His first act was to murder his baby brother. Cruel and sensual, yet he was a cultivated man, fond of poetry and learning. He even acquired the surname, "Father of Good Works," as well as "Sire of Victory." He acquired, also, the title of "Conqueror," after he had captured Constantinople in 1453. The Turks had coveted Constantinople ever since the dream of Othman. Bajazet had besieged it. Musa came near capturing it, and Murad II. had patiently planned its conquest. They had captured everything but the city, but their ambition could not be crowned while the cross waved over it. Paleologous, who had long dalled with and cringed before the Mohammedans, roused himself, and seemed to renew the immortal Greek spirit in his final defense of the fated city. With only a few followers, possibly less than three per cent. of the besiegers, he walked the walls, encouraging his enervated troops by deeds of splendor and valor. After a siege of 53 days the city of Byzas, that had lifted her proud head so long above the rushing waters of the Bosporus, was at last stormed by the victorious Turks, and the Greeks fled in dismay, and Mohammed II. entered in triumph and rode his horse into the Santa Sophia. The cross fell from the churches of the city and the crescent rose in its place, and still flashes back the gleams of Asiatic sunlight to the Ottomans. The fall of Constantinople swept away the last obstacle in the path of Islam. It fixed forever the triumph of the east in its struggle against the west. It gave up the civilization of the Mediterranean to Oriental barbarism. It struck all Europe with consternation. I have mathematically proved a discovery that the moon is a planet captured by the earth from space and not a detached portion of our globe. I reject entirely the long-accepted theories of Laplace and Sir George Darwin ascribing earthly origin to the moon. My discovery is supported by rigorous mathematical proof, based on the methods of Hill, Poincare and Darwin. This announcement is a further development of my discovery promulgated last January, that all planets and satellites are captured bodies, which have since had their orbits reduced in size and rounded up under the secular action of the nebular resisting medium once pervading the solar system. I showed how these bodies, which once revolved around the sun like the asteroids now do, had made circuits close about the planets. In the neighborhood of a planet like Jupiter the sphere of the sun's control is shown to have an extension, or protuberance, on it, like the neck of a bottle, or hourglass with very unequal bulbs, and when the small bodies moving about the sun came into this neck they could revolve about Jupiter, and in many cases again return to their paths about the sun. In other cases after revolving about Jupiter they would be captured by the action of the nebulous resisting medium about the planet, and stay there forever as satellites. By revolving about the planet for a long time their orbits would be rounded up into almost perfect circles, and made smaller and smaller, till they became just like the satellite orbits are now observed to be. Such has been the origin of the satellites generally, and the rings of Saturn have had a similar origin—by the capture of waste nebulosity once circulating around the sun. When this matter is once brought in near the planet it cannot again escape, but must stay there permanently, because in the space near the planet the planet's attraction is supreme. In the case of the terrestrial moon, however, more than usual uncertainty existed as to how this large satellite originated, and a special investigation of the problem had to be made. The moon's mass is relatively very large, about one-eightieth of the earth's mass; and then Darwin's argument that the moon had once been a part of the earth, had to be overcome. I have proved mathematically that our moon, too, had been captured, and had come to us from the heavenly spaces. It was originally a planet like Mercury, but not quite so large, and moved about the sun at nearly the same distance as the earth. Then it came between the sun and the earth in such a way as to enter the neck of the space resembling a bottle neck projecting from the sun's sphere of control and enclosing the earth. This neck was quite small and narrow, but the bulb of space enclosing the earth and constituting its sphere of attraction was of considerable size. When the moon had once left the sun's control and gone into the bulb about the earth, it met with some resistance, and the neck became closed, so that the moon was "bottled up" under the earth's control, and could not escape. Hence, it has remained with the earth ever since, and will always ablieve with us. By revolving about the earth in the space controlled by our planet, the moon has met with considerable resistance, and its orbit has become smaller and smaller and also rounder and rounder. Thus it has come nearer and nearer the earth, but never has been closer than at present. Darwin's theory of the moon's detachment from the earth is overthrown, and an entirely new theory developed which has the support of all the highest mathematical science now known. The famous outstanding inequality of six seconds in the secular acceleration of the moon's mean motion is thus explained. This perturbation in the moon's motion had been discovered by Halley in the time of Newton. It was partially explained by Leplace in 1787, but gravity alone would not account for the observed acceleration since the time of the Chaldeans, B. C. 720, and the outstanding difference had perplexed the greatest mathematicians for more than a century. Having discovered that the moon was originally captured, and was still slowly nearing the earth, I have removed the last difficulty, and the result will be a decided improvement in astronomy.

Charged With Conspiracy in Restraint of Trade Under Criminal Clause Sherman Law. New York, N. Y.—Through 12 men empannelled as a federal grand jury the United States government has laid the ground work for another gigantic anti-trust suit in the indictment of the American Sugar Refining company as a corporation, six of its directors and two prominent lawyers.

The individuals indicted are Washington B. Thomas, president of the American Sugar Refining company; Arthur Donner and Charles H. Senff and John E. Parsons, all of New York; John Mayer of Morristown, N. J.; Geo. H. Frazier of Philadelphia. All are directors of the company. The others indicted are Gustav D. Kissel and Thomas B.

TO CONVINCE US OF OUR SINS Bishop Williams Thinks We Need Some Real Patriots in Place of the Present Day Kind. New York, N. Y.—"For the most part organizations for mutual admiration, which indulge in harmless patriotic buncombe, such as teaching kindergartens of foreign children to go through flag drills and sing the star spangled banner," was the way Bishop Charles D. Williams, D. D., of the Episcopal diocese of Michigan, defined the Daughters of the American Revolution. He also put in this class the Sons of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames, the Order of Cincinnatus and "Ad Infinitum," as he expressed. He diagnosed latter-day troubles as follows: "This false parrotism of idle pride in our past and blind confidence in our future has so possessed the popular mind that he who ventures to criticise our national character makes himself a prey of popular fury and scorn. The greatest need of America to-day is a line of prophets to convince us of our sins—sins that are palpably manifest to all who are not wilfully blind—sins which have invariably, throughout the whole course of history, brought in their train the decline and fall of nations." WAS OLDEST YALE GRADUATE Chester Dutton Who Graduated in 1838 Died in Log Cabin Near Corcordia, Kan. Corcordia, Kansas.—Dutton, who was the oldest graduate of Yale, is dead at his home of old age. He had lived in a log cabin with his wife on the banks of the Republican river near here since 1842. He was graduated from the law department of Yale in 1838. His widow and several sons survive him. Dutton was compelled to give up his chosen profession because of a disease of the throat. Mr. Dutton was notified about a year ago by the secretary's office at Yale that he was the oldest living graduate. The other two graduates next in order at that time were Henry P.

Was Substituted for the Income Tax and Became a Part of the Tariff Bill. Washington, D. C.—The corporation tax amendment, suggested by President Taft, drawn by Attorney General Wickersham and presented to the senate by Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance, is an integral part of the tariff bill as that bill now stands. After much tribulation the senate reached a vote on the proposition shortly before adjourning at 7 o'clock and the amendment was agreed to by the large vote of 60 to 11. With all modifying amendments disposed of, many Democrats voted with most of the Republicans for the amendment. Only three Democrats voted against the provision on the final vote, but some refrained from voting at all. The test vote was on the substitution of the corporation tax amendment for the income tax provision and on that vote 45 senators cast their ballots in the affirmative and 31 in the negative. On this ballot all the Democratic votes were cast in favor of the income tax, which also received the support of a number of the insurgent Republicans. A MONUMENT TO JOHN CALVIN With Solemn Ceremonies a Massive Coroner Stone Was Laid in Geneva, Switzerland.—There has laid in this ancient city the corner stone of a massive monument to the reformation.

His grave, at his own request, was left unmarked and cannot now be identified. GERMANS WISH TO DICTATE English Clergymen Who Made a Tour of That Country Find a Desire for Supremacy. London, Eng.—The bishop of Salisbury, who was one of a deputation of clergymen who recently made a tour of Germany, addressing the anglican and Foreign Church society said that he did not think that there was any real desire for war among the Germans. At the same time he found a considerable desire for the power of making war and for the possession of such naval and military supremacy as would enable that country to dictate to Europe in a crisis, or, if necessary to dictate to the United States. Son of Kansas Educator Drowns Emporia, Kansas.—Lewis Smith 19 years old, the son of Alva J. Smilta who was formerly president of the Kansas Academy of Science and is well known as a geologist, drowned in the Cottonwood river near here. Young Smith was swimming and was seized with a cramp.

Little Rrock, Ark.—The Rock Island the Frisco and the Midland Valley railroads have agreed to the proposed adjustment of the rate litigation by which all suits pending will be dismissed for a period of one year, the new court to order tariff and $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents passenger rates put into offer; and that separate accounts be kept in the interstate and interstate traffic, with the proviso that said account's shall be open to inspection of the state railroad commission at stated intervals. ED BY FLOOD CONDITIONS Kansas City, Mo.—Swollen by unprecedented rain and melted snow from the mountains, brought down through the Missouri valley, the rivers have left their banks, causing damaging floods in many parts of Missouri and Kansas. The results of the floods up to a late hour last night were as follows: Train No. 5, of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, which left Kansas City for Denver, met with a wreck at Pamona, Kan. Of the ten coaches which made up the train, four, a baggage car and three day coaches, left the track and rolled into eighteen feet of water. The road bed was covered with water and the train was proceeding when, according to one account, the tracks spread and overturned the coaches. The overturned coaches are supposed to have been empty. Communication with the town was interrupted, but it was learned that two passengers suffered slight injuries. The town is almost completely inundated, the Marias Des Cygnes river at that point being three miles wide. A relief train was sent from Ottawa with food and other supplies for the marooned passengers. Kansas City Threatened. In Kansas City the situation is threatening, if not yet serious. In the bottoms in the western section, where are located the stock yards, wholesale warehouses and manufacturing plants, the waters from the confluence of the Missouri and Kansas rivers are lapping the danger line and precautions were taken against a further rise. in what are known as the eastern bottoms the authorities hope to avert damage by the closing of sewer flood gates and the operation of a gigantic electrical pump. At Chillicothe, Mo., on the Grand river, six men were swept from a bridge and were seen floating down stream. Whether they reached shore was not learned. Hundreds of people at this place have been forced to leave their homes. Residents in the unaffected districts have started to bake bread by the wholesale for the sufferers, and a relief train loaded with supplies has been sent out from surrounding points. Pattonsburg Victims Aided. Pattonsburg, Mo.—Boats and supplies from Kansas City, St. Joseph, Chillicothe and other points, reached the refugees here and those who have not been taken to higher grounds are being cared for in the spacious upper stories of the school houses or the hotels. About 5 o'clock the water began receding rapidly and it is expected that by daylight the higher parts of the town will be dry. Owing to the fact that the water is falling, most of those who have been marooned here are not leaving the vicinity, but are staying in the hope that they may reenter their homes. The pressing need for food was relieved when the boats came and the outlook is better than it has been for the past three days. Only one death has occurred here as a result of the flood. Ready for Final Vote Washington, D. C.—With a general understanding that the final vote in the senate on the tariff bill should be taken by four o'clock this afternoon, the senate adjourned at seven o'clock last evening in anticipation of the early conclusion of the labors of the special session of congress. Because of the possible effect on the tobacco schedule there was no effort to obtain formal assent in open senate to the proposition to fix a time for a vote, but so far as the canvassers of the senate could ascertain there was no indication of objection to a final vote some time today. It is expected that the bill as perfected will receive practically all, though not all of the Republican votes while it is understood that practically all of the Democratic votes, with the exception of the vote of Senator McEnergy of Louisiana, will be cast against it. When passed, the measure will be hurried over to the house as expeditiously as possible and it is expected that he house will be in session Friday morning in the hope of receiving it. Honolulu—Details of the accident to the power schooner Rainbow, off Pukoo Harbor, Island of Molokai, on Sunday afternoon, have been received here. Forty-two Sunday school children, who were enjoying an excursion, were thrown into the water a quarter of a mile from shore by the overturning of the vessel. Their ages ranged from 10 years upward and practically all were good swimmers. CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS. PEARL MARK They also relieve Diarrhea from Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Too Heavy: Eating.

A woman who has used Postmum since it came upon the market known from experience the wisdom of using Postmum in place of coffee if one values health and a clear brain. She says: "At the time Postmum was first put on the market I was suffering from nervous dyspepsia, and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postmum. I got a package and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to the taste. So I continued its use and very soon its beneficial effects convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly, and I persuaded him to shift to Postum. It was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate nor depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. "To make a long story short, our entire family continued to use Postum with satisfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power." Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner. "There's a Reason." Look in pkgs. for the famous little book.

THE AMERICAN HOME W-A.RADFORD EDITOR THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM 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. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 154 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A rather pretentious house of very pleasing design is shown in the cuts. There are many new features about this house that are likely to become popular. The idea of placing the stairway in the center or near the center of the house is a good one and I am pleased to note that the people generally approve of it, because I feel that it is a sensible improvement in house building. In this plan the stairway is quite an innovation. While you start up from almost the exact center of the house the most of the space occupied by the stair is against the back wall, the least valuable space in the house. The stair itself is what you might call a three-way combination stair. Besides the main stairway there is a separate back stair from the kitchen leading up ten steps to meet on a landing. This landing is high enough to give head room for a passageway across under it leading from the kitchen to the reception hall. This gets back in a sensible way to the old idea of connecting the kitchen with the front door without being obliged to pass through the dining room. This passage way also gives access to the cellar stair, which is placed under the back stair. In this passage way also is the opening to the coat closet under the front stair. Then from the landing up we have but one pair of steps and this is all that is necessary. By this arrange- THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM ment every foot of space is made use of for some good purpose. The room ordinarily required to carry the back stair to the upper floor is saved and there is no corresponding objection. It would be hard to find fault with the arrangement in any particular. In the living room and dining room are beam cellings. There is something about a beam ceiling that seems to give an artistic tone to a room as nothing else will. Sometimes the idea is overworked. When like all other fashionable things, if overdone, the effect is spoiled. Beams in a ceiling should have a natural effect. A beam is primarily intended to support something. To appear right it must be large enough and heavy enough to fulfill its mission. Heavy beams are not placed close together ordinarily and they are not bedecked with fancy PORCH DINING ROOM 17' 5" X 10' 0" DINING ROOM 17' 5" X 10' 0" KITCHEN 18' 0" X 10' 0" PORCH REC BELL 18' 0" X 10' 0" LIVING ROOM 22' 0" X 10' 0" First Floor Plan brackets nor overloaded with moldings. There is one thing about a beam ceiling; it requires side walls to match, not necessarily expensive, paneled wood work, as we see, in some cases, but the decorations should be in keeping whether it is fresco work, painting or papering. The general effect should be carried through. It would be difficult to design two rooms more pleasant than the dining room and living room in this plan. When it comes to the living room 16x22 feet in size, with a large extension window at the end, a big fireplace at the back, flanked with book cases on either side, with leaded glass windows above them, you have something of more than ordinary value in a living room. This is a room that any housekeeper can take pride in. There are possibilities of decoration superior to almost any other arrangement. The old-fashioned parlor and drawing room are left behind a hundred years in the march of progress by the adoption of such valuable rooms as this. Turning to the business end of the house there are a number of features to study. The kitchen is a corner room 10x11 feet in size, intended just for a stove and the necessary working attachments. The sink is in the pantry directly in front of a window looking out onto the rear porch. A sink placed like this has the advantage of saving many steps when clearing away after meals. With this arrangement the china that should be kept in the sideboard or china closet is not taken to the kitchen at all and the other dishes that find lodgement on 1900 the pantry shelves are handled just as conveniently. The stairway to the cellar is convenient to the kitchen and there is a chute reaching down into the cellar which is provided with a dumb waiter, so that trips back and forth may be eliminated as much as possible. It will be noticed by a study of the many details that this is no ordinary house plan, for it contains more advantages than is ordinarily found even in elaborate designs, is not only a well-arranged house down stairs, but the up stairs plan is just as good. There are four bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. Every bedroom has one or two clothes closets, and there is a linen closet in the hall. this amount of room on the second floor is made possible in a house of this size by the manner in which the stairway is built. It not only economizes space, but it lands you centrally within easy reach of the doors to the different rooms. While the roof cuts off a portion of the upper walls of some of the bedrooms, it does not interfere with the comfort of the occupants. There is quite a saving in building the roof in this way. Britain's Most Prized Medal. The Victoria Cross is the most highly-prized decoration of the British military and naval services. It was instituted by royal decree in January, 1856. It is a Maltese cross in shape, and is made from cannon captured in the Crimean war, chiefly at Sebastopol. The design on the obverse side consists of the royal crest, a crowned lion, beneath which is the inscription "For Valor." Non-commissioned officers and men, and such commissioned officers as may have risen from the ranks, to whom has been awarded the Victoria Cross receive an annuity of $50, and under special circumstances this is increased to five times that amount. The ribbon of the cross is blue for the naval service and red for the military. Civilians acting in a volunteer capacity are eligible for the cross which from the time of its creation to the close of the Boer war, in 1902, had been granted to about 500 men, including three civilians and one army chaplain.

The beautiful young captive retained her presence of mind, however, and when it came her turn to be taken before the cannibal king, she marceled herself very carefully. "Ain't I sweet, though!" she exclaimed, archly flirting her handkerchief at the monarch. His majesty at once fell into the trap. "You're simply it!" he replied cordially. "Well, sweet things are terribly fattening." "Ah!" "O, terribly. And there's nothing so hopelessly out of it as to be fat, these days!" Whereupon the king was greatly shaken and commanded her instant release. "People used to blame me because I knew I was pretty, but all the time I felt sure the knowledge would come handy some day!" commented the lovely creature, as she was led away. —Puck. THE WRONG OBJECTIVE POINT Mule's Lack of Consideration Responsible for Ike's Being Late at His Duty. An Atlanta merchant has frequent occasion to rebuke Ike, his darky porter, for his tardiness in reporting for duty in the morning. Ike is always ready with a more or less ingenious excuse. "You're two hours late, Ike!" exclaimed the employer one morning. "This sort of thing must stop! Otherwise, I'm going to fire you; understand." "Deed, Mistah Edward," replied Ike, "it wan't mah fault, dis time! Honest! I was kicked by a mule!" "Kicked by a mule? Well, even if that were so, it wouldn't delay you for more than an hour. You'll have to think of a better excuse than that." Ie looked aggrieved. "Mistah Edward," he continued solemnly, "it might have been all right ef dat mule kicked me in dis direction; but he didn't—he kicked me de odder way!" Lippincott's.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. V. Here's a Good One. A friend of mine told me of a curious experience. He was carefully stalking a big bull elephant in a large herd, when they got his wind, and a big cow elephant charged him. He jumped behind a large tree as the elephant reached him, and being unable to stop herself in time, the elephant drove her tusks with such force into the tree that they snapped off close to her head. The elephant was stunned for a moment, but luckily turned and galloped after the fast retreating herd, leaving him the possessor of some 80 pounds of ivory, valued at about $250—Circle Magazine.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.

Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

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 creek 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 gulf 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 "laid 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 ill-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 advised 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. Said 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." Saw the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abhor the stuff! It is heroile 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.
