Colored Methodist Episcopal Church ELEVENTH YEAR: THE COLORED METHODIST EPISCGPAL CHURCH It has been said that the colored Methodist Episcopal Church of America is one of the branches of the great Methodist Church and in the galaxy of Methodism has become very conspicious. As the great Searchlight of truth is turned on more and more, the brighter, better and fairer she stands—a church to be admired and respected for her very works sake. After a long controversy in the Methodist Episcopal church over the question of slavery, which agitated both church an state, and which had been announced by the first conference held, the church divided in 1844. There was quite a number of colored people belonging to church at that time. Since the division of 1844, these two churches have been known as the M. E. church and A. M. E, church, South, respectively very little has been known of her during the first few years followins her organization she has continued to grow and prosper so that now she is fairly known almost everywhere. She has done much to assist in the amelioration of the social intellectual moral and religious conditions of that race in whose efforts have been mostly directed. She is great because of the firmness with which she stood the storms in her infancy. When the Christ was born ia Betheham of Judea, men sought to destroy him before a mother's kiss awoke him into consciousness, before the wise men reached his birthplace to pay homage to the young child. Yea before the star that stood over manger had to gone down, wicked Herod had planned to take his life. So it was with the C. M. E. Church. Before her first bishop had been consecuted before she had recieved her name yea. before the organizers had ended their prayer, somebody was planning to take her life. She started out with a small number in ignorance and in proverty, no smiles from her sister churches to cheer her along the dark and tedious way but by the help of God she marched on. "Troubled on every side but not distressed; perplexed, but not in dispire; persecuted but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed." She lives today and has been instrumental in saving many souls for the kingdom of God, and over three hundred thousand are yet fasting at her table and singing as the days go by: "For her my prayers ascend." The indestructable elements that constitute of this young daughter of Methodism operated by her gigantic heroes will triumph over every foe, and the great host of blood washed children with their hearts aglow with the fervent heat from Jehovah's burning altar will sing of her victories from the pines of Maine to the orange groves of Florida; from the sun kissed the mountains of the east to the rolling plains of the west. Yea until the ocean waves shall catch the sound and gently murmur to its inhabitants of distant shores. By LaMedna C. Montgomery BEAT NELSON IN 10 ROUNDS BEAT NELSON IN 10 ROUNDS Naud Junction Area, Los Angles Cal. July 13. Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee despite the fact that Battling Nelson gave the durabl Dane a thorough whipped in a ten-round bout before the Pacific Athletic Club tonight. The law does not permit a decision. After an even first round, Wolgast waded in and had the advantage in six of the remaining nine round The champion did not have a single round in his favor an even a break being the very best he could get. Wolgast fought the champion at his own game and beat him decisively. Nelson's face was badly swollen and blood streamed from his nose an mouth at the close of the fight. Wolgast was practically unmarked. It was a terrific fight from the start and it was not until the ninth & tenth rounds that Wolgast succeeded in stopping Nelson's steady rushes. Nelson was a baby worried man in several stages of the fight. TO THE PUBLIC Any erroneous reflections up the character, standing or reputation of any person, firm or corporation which may appear in the columns of the Searchlight it will be gladly corrected upon being brought to the attention of Editor and manager. Our leading men should not be a stumbling block in the way of any enterprise that is gotten up for the benefit of our people, and that will give employment to the young people that are being turned out yearly from the various schools of learning.

Three Hundred bent on lynching have formed a cordon around a swamp near here, in which Morris Beham, a 17 year old negro, is hidden. The negro is charged with having attempt an assult upon Irene Brocata, a 9 year old girl, the attempt having been made in the delivery wagon of the childs father. The father of the little girl is a leading the mob, which is provided with a rope. The sheriff has wired the governor and it is expected troops will be ordered of New Orleans. AFRO- AMERICAN PARENTS Afro-America parents must lay aside their prejust and their meanness, put their children in school where they may obtain that kind of education which will best enable them to succeed as other people. Teach their children to b industriour moral and courteoue As the world is composed of very many kinds of people and many different dispositions. Afro-American youths must be able to struggle and push their way by showing good first class, qualities. There is no morality or purity except as one produce in himself It is all on the side of the man who makes up his mind that, he will be a man in spite of adversed criticism. God has made of one blood all nations and it is His purpose that each man attain all that he is capable of reaching.—Ex. Dr. H. T. Bolden our Dentist who came to our city to practice last fall is making quite a success Dr. Bolden is a young man who appreciates the patronage of his people and you are not told at his office to come after hours. We as a race should patronize our race. We wish him all the success that may come to him. We have been informed thnt there is a movement on foot to get the colored people in business off of Main street from Douglas Ave. to Elm St. Every colored person who does not own their property within this limit must vacate. If true, this is a most of drastic measure, and in view of the fact that colored people are not permitted to rent store rooms in other parts of Main on Douglas Ave will play an havoc to the colored people who have their money now invested in stocks, gxtures etc. necessary to carry on their respective businesses. The race is borred from the other fellow's places and they will not et us run places of our own what in the world shall we do. Race Question Sidestepped The pravialing opiuion that President Tatt has sidestepped toe Negro question seems to be not wholly without foundation Well, the race that can stand 250 years of the most damnable bondage that ever cursed a world and four years of civil war will survive the perfidy of a political party. The Negro is one of permanent races. He will not disappear reports of his enemies to the countrary not withstanding.— Bartleville, Okla. July 14. - A Black Hand letter, apparently in the writting of a woman, was recieved through the local post-office today by Daily Enterprise The letter was written in connection with the mystery over the murder of H. J. Deckard here on last Friday night. The Enterprise reporters have been working industriously on it with the local police. The letter warns the Enterprise to stop work and apparently is an attempt to throw the searchers for the murder off the track. It has been turned over to the local police. The writer apparently is not well educated. The officers have concluded that Deckard was undoubted-y killed for his money. The police are trying to track a hack driven into town from the direction of Dewey early Saturday morning. It is believed that the driver of the vehicle may know something about the case.

One of the most important alterations which members of the British house of commons will notice when they reassemble will be a strangers' bureau. Its construction, which is now in progress, is the sequel to the scenes created by the suffragettes in the house during last session. In the last month of the autumn session as the result of their conduct no stranger was seen within the house of commons. A committee was appointed to draw up new rules for admission of strangers. The members recommended the passing of an act making it a criminal offense for strangers to brawl within the chamber, and they also recommended that strangers should be made responsible for their own good behavior and should sign a paper accepting that responsibility. That being done the committee saw no reason why women, as well as men, should not be admitted to the strangers' gallery. It is in preparation for the change that the new bureau is being made. As heretofore, tickets for the gallery will be balloted for by members in advance. enthusiasm is one magnet of power. You must fire every event with it, touch thoughts and acts with it; it will transmute dross into gold, drudgery into delight. What matters if the soul which lives beside you is cold and stillish. Set him a good example! Joy is sunshine and he will feel it. Every irksome task is a chance for power. For the qualities which they bring out are God's gifts which it us to enjoy better things. Easy things will come. If you have spent your heart's blood on gaining strength, for the very goal of power is the ease which comes from strength. We laugh at things and people who used to cow or annoy us, we gracefully and swiftly the tasks, once so hard. One by one, we have unrivened our chains, we are free!— Pecullar African Race. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The hora springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and filth, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kaffirs live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafue river. They build their huts on the great an heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafue is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mealies are likewise grown. The Affair of the Uptowners pee tO Aer.) PERRSTENS, “ae. ), VCO sciously allowing his gaze to rest upon her daughter. “Mr. Kersey and I are more than satisfied. We were just saying that the atmosphere suggested home rather than a boarding-house.” ‘Mrs. Deadstone’s face went flabby at the word. The network showed around her eyes, and two deep creases drooped from the corners of her mouth. “Mr. Marmaluke,” she sald with great dignity, “while you and Mr. Kersey are with us, please re- member that you are guests, not— not boarders.” She gave another little shudder at the word and continued somewhat hastily: “To be sure, we shall be compelled to accept a cer- tain—er—return for our hospitality, and if you—if you—er—if you ‘could—” “If you could help us with our lt- tle deception, mamma means, it will save the proverbial pride of the Dead- stones,” put in the daughter. “Pride is the only heritage we have left, and it’s a horribly unhandy thing to keep house on.” “My dear Violette,” expostulated Mrs, Deadstone, “that’s not quite what T was about to say. I am sure the gentlemen are sensible of the situa- tion. Your outspokenness is positive- ly brutal. If you were not the daugh- ter of a Deadstone—and a Clinton—I should call it almost vulgar. We are not quite reduced to the extremity my daughter asserts,” she concluded, turning: to the gentlemen. “Ob, no, Mrs. Deadstone,” an- swered Mr. Marmaluke; “we under- stand both your delicacy and your daughter's charming candor. They do you both equal honor.” As the days passed both gentlemen congratulated themselves on their quarters, and the weekly interviews between Mr. Kersey and his hostess appeared to assauge the wounded pride of Mrs. Deadstone to some ex- tent. One afternoon, according to cus- tom, after their daily labors in Union square were ended, the two friends traveled home together, “home,” of course, being understood to be the Deadstone stories of brownstone and brick which did their little best to uphold the tradition of a past genera- tion in its boarding-house _ blighted neighborhood. As they reached this residence they were impressed by an unwonted waste of Deadstone gas, and as they mounted the steps thelr surprise was increased by the flying ‘open of the front door and the appear- ‘ance of a negro boy in plum-colored coat and brass buttons. Such was their amazement they scarce could give it utterance, nor could they pro- ceed upstairs or decide what diplo- macy was due the interloper in plum- color and brass. “Did we come up the wrong steps? Isn't this Mrs. Deadstone’s?” queried Joe weakly. “Yassah, Yo’ cawd, suh?” answered the plum-color and brass. “Cara?” repeated Darby, as vacant: ly as if he had never heard of that useful article of identification. “Yassuh, or what name, suh?” “Name?” repeated Joe, with an ex- cellent imitation of Darby's blank- ness. “But you see—we—" Before his slow tongue unwound the words, there was a little rustle in the adjoining “drawing room” as Mrs. Deadstone insisted on calling it, and the lady of the house, whose ears had ‘deen intent on every sound, appeared in person, gowxed, powdered, and lorgnetted. Mrs. Deadstone’s | face broke into such a smile of welcome that the outermost corners crinkled and cracked, much as the ice all over @ pond is sometimes shattered by a sudden fissure in the middle. “Why, it it isn't Mr. Marmaluke and Mr. Kersey!” she exclaimed. “This is so good of you, and goodness has its own reward in this case, for you will meet my dearest friends. Violette, some truants you will be glad to see. Mrs. Jowler, may I present Mr. Marmaluke and Mr. Kersey? Miss Harper, my friends, Mr. Kersey, Mr. Marmaluke. Xam sure you have each heard me ‘speak of all of you many times.” Mr. Kersey’s outward - manifesta: tions were of pure pleasure and whol- ly proper, but under his breath _ he murmured melodramatically: “Ha, hha! the uptowners are on our track!” “You'll stay, won't you, Mr. Mar. ‘maluke? And you, too, Mr, Kersey?” said Miss Deadstone. “It’s just as if we had expected you.” “Oh, we expected to stay,” replied ‘Mr. Kersey jauntily, and the laugh which followed made everybody feel ‘Detter. ‘The dinner passed off more pleas- ‘antly than might have been expected, ‘Dut Joe found opportunity to remark Re ie gaa Ke a ee ek 5a By Edmund Vance Cooke (Copyright, by J.

The callers would be vanished long before their return and probably would neyer cross their path again. ‘The lingering carriage, with liveried driver and footman, whose horses slowly loitered up and down the street to keep their thoroughbred blood stir- ring, should: have warned the young men, but they gavenoheed. Sleepily they ascended the Deadstone steps, deliberately they fumbled the Dead- stone lock,:and then—then they were in the hall, with Mrs, Deadstone com: ing toward them, yellowish pale. The plum-colored coat and brass buttons were either occupied elsewhere or, more probably, had gone back to the establishment from which they had come. ‘The loitering carriage was drawing up to the Deadstone curb, cutting off retreat. “Gentlemen, gen- tlemen,” gasped Mrs. Deadstone, they are just going.” She gave an agonized glance up the stair, toward where the Jowler and the Harper were presumably adjusting wraps and hats, and added: “Oh, what will they think?” A moment more and the vinegar voice of Miss Harper and the oilier tones of Mrs. Jowler suggested the salad dressing they could give this scandal, as they came trickling down the stairway. “Hide!” groaned Mrs. Deadstone. “For the love of heaven, bide!” ‘There was no opportunity to object. Mrs. Deadstone half pushed Mr. Mar- maluke back of the portieres, which screened the door leading to the little “drawing-rcom,” and half-thrust Mr Kersey into a low and seldom-used closet under the stair. There they stood and squatted, not daring to move, while the uptowners made theh interminable farewells. “As for those two young men,” Mrs. Jowler was saying, “I am sure that one of them has some breeding and I am almost sure that he would show some brains, under normal condi. tions.” 5 “Under normal conditions?” queried Miss Deadstone, wholly uncompre- hending her mother’s nervousness, for she had been abovestairs with their guests. “Oh, don’t pretend to misunder- stand. Perhaps you can’t see it, being in the same beclouded condition your. self, but if your mother isn’t in dan- ger of losing a daughter, I never saw the symptoms.” “Oh, my dear Flora,” said the per turbed Mrs. Deadstone, with an hys- terical laugh, “you were always such a humorist.” “Well, let us hope that you'll find st humorous,” put in Miss Harper. “For my part, if you'll pardon my saying so, I was not impressed by the com pany Mr, Marmaluke keeps.” For the cribbed, cabined and con. fined Kersey, who could almost have pinched her where she stood, and whe felt tempted to do so, this was far from agreeable, “What do you mean by symptoms?” asked Miss Deadstone, suddenly. “Why, that’s one of therff,” laughed Mrs. Jowler. “Treasuring an unim portant remark about your beloved and going back to it. Another one {s that you enjoy being teased about him, Goodness!” As before remarked, the stair-closet was little used and consequently dusty. Mr. Kersey had struggled val iantly, but the eir was bad, he could not keep absolutely quiet, and the dust would mount into his nose. The result, a sneeze. Mrs. Deadstone, perspiring coldly at every pore, made a last effort, look ing through the window ef the door “What handsome horses you have, Flora! No wonder you use ther oftener than you do your motor-car And what perfect servants!” The situation might have beer saved, had not the dust still acted as potently as old Scotch snuff in Mr. Kersey’s nostrils. At the second ex plosion, Mrs, Jowler stepped aside hastily into the curtain and could scarcely repress a scream. Miss Har per’s eyes glittered and her nose went up as if sniffing carrion. Miss Dead. stone was unfeignedly astonished. Mr. Marmaluke emerged from his entanglement with the curtain and Mrs, Jowler. “Don’t be alarmed, Mrs Jowler,” he said, boldly; “the explan. ation is simple enough. I have the honor to be the sultor of Miss Violette I did so want to say ‘Good-night’ tc her, so I came back.” “[ knew it!” exclaimed Mrs. Jowler, much placated by her triumph. “Mr. Marmaluke!” exclaimed the girl. = “What's the use in denying it?” per. sisted the young man.

Use “LA SENATE'S ACTS ARE | STRONGLY OPPOSED House Members of Tariff Confer ence Object to Administra- tive Features That Were Proposed by Senate. Washington, D. C.—Strenuous ob Jections were raised by the house members of the tariff conference to the senate provisions in the maxi- mum and minimum feature of the tar- iff bill, which gives to the president authority to employ such persons that he may desire to aid him in enforcing the tariff laws and which will be use- ful to congress in tariff legislation in the future. This opposition’ was all that prevented the adoption of prae- tically all the sections dealing with administration. The provision which provides for the establishment of a court of cus- toms appeals was adopted. It is in- tended that this court shall deal with all cases of appeal from the board ot general appraisers, and that its judg- ments shall be final. The salaries of the five judges were fixed at ten thousand dollars, instead of seven thousand, as provided by a senate amendment adopted after the cour? features had been reported from the senate committee on finance, —@ The senate maximum and minimum provision was discussed throughout ti afternoon session, When an ad journment was taken at 6:30 o'clock this provision had been agreed upon tentatively as'a substitute for the house feature with the exception of a provision for the employment o: tariff experts. The house conferees took the position that the ways and means committee and the senate fi- hance committee have the investlga- tion of tariff matters as their spe H eimieoeincnt “Taft” Arguments Ineffective. Several of the senate conferees made the assertion that President Taft desired to have the right to em- ploy such experts for the purpose ot assisting him in the discharge of du: ties imposed upon him by the max- imum and minimum features. They declared also that the president fa vors the appointment of a tariff com- mission. These arguments were not sufficient to induce the house con- ferees to abandon their objections. ‘The senate administrative act which was drawn for the purpose of prevent- ing under valuation of imported ar- ticles not in common use in the coun- try of manufacture, also was adopted. The drawback provision is still the subject of dispute. Agreement that the provision of the Dingley law should be re-enacted in the place of the house provision had almost been reached when the house conferees in- sisted that a provision should be made requiring exportation to be made within three years in order to gam the benefit of the drawback. This feature was a part of the provision adopted by the house which had also eliminated the necessity for identify. ing the imported raw material in the manufactured product offered for ex port, The senate conferees insisted that the removal of the identifying clause opened the door to fraud and that the three-year provision narrowed the drawback in such a manner that it would work a hardship to manufac turers who availed themselves of the drawback privileges. The conferees representing the two branches of con gress split upon this question and it was laid aside for consideration later, CHINESE CONSUL SAYS SIGEL GIRL SUICIDEC Denver, Colo—That Elsie Sigel took poison with suicidal intent in Leon Ling’s room in New York City, is the statement made in the official court bulletin of Pekin, China, a copy ot which has reached Denver. This statement is made in. a report made to the Chinese government by the Chinese consul in New York City who was ordered to investigate the reported murder of Elsie Sigel by Leon Ling. ‘The bulletin was translated by Lee Wing, a leader of the Chinese colony in Denver. According to Lee, when this report was made to Pekin, orders were issued by the head of the Chin- ese Masons, who acted with the con sent of the government, that the fu- gitive Ling should be protected by all Chinese all over the world. Chinese consuls in America were se- cretly communicated with, and until acknowledgement is made by the New York police authorities that Leon Ling was not responsible for the death of Miss Sigel, he will be protected.

ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food, ‘The story of the great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not earry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was,led to study va- ricus foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, be- fore he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry bim along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts ‘daily is easily seen in a marked gturdi- ness and marked activity of the brain ‘and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily ‘duties without fatigue or exbaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour {s charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. |, Look in pkgs. for the famous litle ‘book, “The Road to Wellville.” “There’s @ Faason.” STOPPED HER SONG OF JOY.

CLARK that the box had been addressed to a certain kind-hearted army officer's wife—here and forever nameless—and that it were better to call for it when the officer himself was on duty elsewhere. Just after supper that Christmas eve, during the half-hour interval between mess and the bugler's call to quarters, two cadets stole down the road in the rear of the hospital, scaled the fence, and dropped into the yard in the rear of the kindhearted army woman's quarters. They found the box, and carried it to the barracks, getting it in through a window, and storing it under a bunk in a dark corner. The two cadets were roommates. They pried open the box, and having found that there were eight SKIDMISH LINE DONALD E DRILL SKIRMISH LINE DRILL The officer rose, swept the light of his lantern under the bunks, and then pulled two blankets from the boys in bed. In an instant four cadets were standing at attention. Two marched to their quarters in arrest. The others were left in arrest where they were. Four cadets explated the crime of eating by walking post during the ordinary glad hours of release from quarters for four long weeks. One of these boys went to his death on San Juan hill and another to his death in the jungles of the Philippines. One is literally charging through life as a major of cavalry, and the other, who never saw the day of graduation, writes these lines with a pen much less mighty than any sword. Not long ago it was written that there is no spirit of sectionalism alive at the United States Military academy. In Grant hall, the great stone building given over to the purposes of the cadets' mess and named for Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, hangs a portrait of the northern soldier's great southern opponent. Gen. Robert E. Lee. To every graduate in the army, north and south, the appearance of the face of the great confederate soldier on the walls of his alma mater, side by side with that of his great antagonist, means the end of controversy, the end of bitterness, the end of all things sectional. Lee, as he appears in his place of honor, is not in the gray garb of the leader of the lost cause, with the stars of a general shining in the field of his shoulder knots. He is shown in the blue uniform of the old army with an eagle on his shoulder, backed with yellow denoting the rank of a colonel of cavalry, the position the southron held when he resigned from the federal army to cast his lot with the confederacy. The portrait of Lee was placed in position five years ago. Col. Mills, who was then superintendent of the military academy, secured readily the permission of the war department for the placing of the picture where, with that of Grant, it would fall daily under the eyes of the cadets. The thought is held by army officers that nothing but good to the coming generations of cadets can come from the honoring of the memory of one of the greatest soldiers ever graduated from West Point. This story of Lee's picture forces reminiscences. Since the war of secession the portrait of one other confederate leader has hung on historic academic walls—that of Albert Sidney Johnston of the class of 1826, and who gave his life for the south at Shiloh. There was a touch of sectionalism at West Point just after the war, and a portrait of Johnston has to do with the story. The picture was put in place long years before the north and the south met on the field of battle, and it hung on the wall of the army officers' messroom at West Point. The portrait showed Johnston as a subaltern officer of cavalry in the United States forces. Johnston at one time was stationed at West Point, and the officers assembled there as instructors voted to have him manage their mess. The quality of the food and cooking improved so under Johnston's management that his comrades induced --- --- W WASHINGTON.—Much has been written of the severity of the discipline at the United States Military academy. The Washington officials of the war department, acting on the advice of the old graduates of the academy, have kept the disciplinary regulations at the government's school pretty much as they were in the early days, when the thought was that leniency had no place in military affairs. The judgment of the army is that the old rule is still the best rule. At West Point there are demerits and punishments for offenses. Pains and penalties, however, do not prevent, or at least did not prevent in the elder day, the cadets from having on occasion "the time of their lives." When any serious breach of the regulations is contemplated the boys in gray use the lessons that are given them for another purpose: to outwit, outflank and outgeneral the enemy—the tactical officer in charge. The cadet at West Point who was found with a crust of bread in his quarters, or, if luck has been running his way, an orange, or some other luxury almost unknown to the cadet palate, his punishment is, or was, ten hours of extra guard duty, to be performed during the time that otherwise he might have been walking through "Flirtation Walk" with some one not a cadet, or possibly spending a part of the 25 cents a week which he is allowed for extravagances—if he doesn't owe the government anything—in buying a plate of ice cream or a delicious bite of cake in the goodies-shop, which the cadets in the old days dubbed "Delmonico's." Once upon a time a cadet received a letter on the day before Christmas, and from it he learned that a cousin living in New York had shipped a box, due to arrive that afternoon, and filled with absolutely unspeakably good things. The letter told him that the box had been addressed to a certain kind-hearted army officer's wife—here and forever nameless—and that it were better to call for it when the officer himself was on duty elsewhere Just after supper that Christmas eve, during the half-hour interval between mess and the bugler's call to quarters, two cadets stole down the road in the rear of the hospital, scaled the fence, and dropped into the yard in the rear of the kindhearted army woman's quarters. They found the box, and carried it to the barracks, getting it in through a window, and storing it under a bunk in a dark corner. The two cadets were roommates. They pried open the box, and having found that there were eight pies, eight cakes, two dozen oranges and four pounds of candy therein, concluded that there were just rations enough for four hungry cadets with the appetites that they could bring to the feast, about an hour after taps. They invited two chums who lived in another part of the barracks to come to the spread as soon after "lights out" as it would be fairly safe to cross the area of barracks without the danger of being seen by the officer of the day. Taps sounded. There was the usual dark-lantern inspection immediately thereafter, and from every room in the old stone building came the cry of "All in, sir," as the officers made their round and flashed their bull's-eye within. No sooner had the door closed on the inspecting officer than the two custodians of the box arose, jumped into trousers and shell jackets, and proceeded to blanket the window, throwing one end over the upper sash and then closing the frame, so as to hold the blanket tight. With their bayonets they pinned the lower end at the corners, and after placing a folded blanket over the transom, they lighted the gas and spread the feast. About three-quarters of an hour after taps the two bidden ones stole in. Their hosts had resisted the mighty temptation to eat. They had lived for months on cadet rations, and their waiting for their comrades with that feast spread before their eyes proved them not only soldiers, but stoics. They came, they saw, and they ate. The apple of Eden had not the flavor of those mince pies. It was before the days of angel cake, but those cakes must have come from paradise. How these youngsters did pitch in. Nothing has tasted so good since, and the one who writes speaks by the card. At 15 minutes before midnight everything had disappeared save one slender piece of mince pie, at which the smallest cadet present was looking lovingly, yet afraid. The game for him had reached its limit. Unlucky piece of pie. It was responsible for woes unnumbered. The clink of a sword was heard on the ironbound stairway outside the door. The door of the room opposite was heard to open. An inspection was on. The light in the banquet-room was doused instanter. The two cadet hosts jumped into their bunks, one of them pulling the blanket from the window in his flight. One cadet guest sought refuge under one bunk and the second dove under the other. The two in bed were completely covered, and no eye could have told that they were clothed in shell jacket and trousers when night-gear was the proper raiment. An officer of cavalry entered. He swept the beams of the dark lantern over the two bunks. The occupants were snoring peacefully, it somewhat suspiciously loud. The officer turned to leave. Woe is me! The blanket pulled from the window and carried to the bunk had caught in its trail the small piece of unconsumed mince pie, and had dropped it just where the heel of the retiring officer caught it full and fair. Down he went! He had had no such fall as that since he had taken a header at his first riding lesson, and this time he didn't hit his head. When he sat he sat solid, and the barracks shook. DET This was too much even for the disciplined self-control of four culprits cadets. They chuckled. THE MILITARY CORPS A man carrying a rifle. TEN HOURS EXTRA GUARD DUTY % the picture of the southern officer caught his eye. War passions were still high—though another excuse was given for Reno's conduct. He was officer of the day, and wore his side arms. He drew his saber in front of Johnston's picture. "A traitor has no place on these walls," he said. There was a "right cut" from a practiced hand, and the encircling frame and the picture of the confederate general were cut in twain. It was Reno who was with Custer's command a few days prior to the battle with the Sioux, in which "the yellow-haired chieftain" and his command of the Seventh cavalry were wiped out by the hand of Sitting Bull. Reno was at a distance with another part of the Seventh cavalry. He had a fierce fight of his own. Reno was criticized for not having advanced to the relief of Custer. He demanded a court of inquiry, and he was cleared, for no one ever doubted his courage. Later he was dismissed from the service. At West Point 90-day, where "time's effacing finger" has removed the last trace of bitterness, the portrait of Lee will hang honored and in safety. Maj-Gen. George A. Custer, whose record of rapid promotions for galantry on the battlefield reads like a romance, had troubles of his own when he was a cadet. Custer entered the academy at the lowest age limit—17 years. When he was 24 years old he was a major-general, commanding a division. One may search history, and even fiction, and have the hardest kind of a time to find a parallel case. One beauty of the matter is that no one has yet been found to deny that Custer won every step on the read to his preferments. Yet this man, who was Sheridan's right arm in the campaigns of 1864-5, came near being lost to the service of his country through inability to master thoroughly one of the branches at Uncle Sam's school. It is told at the academy that when Custer graduated it was found that one of the members of the academic board had declined to sign his "sheepskin." When, four years later, Custer paid a visit to the school with the stars of a major-general in the field of his shoulder knots, the professor whose signature to the sheepskin was lacking, offered to affix his name thereto. There ensued a moment or two of silence, broken only by a few picturesque expressions from a yellow-haired soldier who had just seen some four years of DOWN HE WENT % him to keep the position of manager, instead of having it "rotate," as was the custom. When the southerner was relieved from duty at the academy the members of the mess decided to have his portrait painted and hung in the dining-hall. This was done, and the picture stayed untouched all through the dark days of the war. In the year 1865 there was sent to West Point as a tactical officer a soldier who had won the stars of a brigadier-general of volunteers on the battlefield. This story in fact is told of Gen. Marcus A. Reno, who had gone back to his rank of captain of regulars at the close of hostilities. He was a graduate of the military academy, as was Johnston. Reno had been at West Point on duty only a few days, as the story goes, when strife. Custer's sheepskin, it is said, remains unsigned by one West Point professor to this day. Animals Commit Suicide When Alone in Circus "Do animals commit suicide?" was asked of a man who for 30 years was head animal man of the zoo of a great circus. "Yes, animals do commit suicide," he replied, "and often for the same reasons that cause humans to take their own lives. Probably the most pronounced of these are loneliness, homesickness, loss of mates or children, and ill health. There are animals that periodically have a return of the suicidal mania, and which can only be saved from self-destruction by the most careful treatment. "As a rule, however, when the animal A has made up its mind to die nothing can prevent it, and the keeper, not only for humane reasons, but also because an animal in that condition is extremely dangerous, is often compelled to end the animal's sufferings by hastening its death. The suicidal mania in the lion is often developed after his mate has been taken away. "When the tiger attempts self-murder it is necessary to tie him down, but even this is not always effective. The mania for self-destruction often continues for days, though apparently subdued by enforced helplessness, but the creature is crafty, and while pretending to be meek and resigned to existence, will watch for the first opportunity after being released to inflict wounds that will be fatal. "One would scarcely imagine that such a seemingly insensitive animal as the hippopotamus would ever be guilty of suicidal mania, but it is a fact that a 'hippo', captured wild and confined in a cage will give every evidence of homesickness, and the only way to prevent the beast from committing 'hari-karl' is to keep him well fed and to surround him with animal company. "We never had but one hippopotamus that was guilty of suicide. Having injured his leg, he was replaced on the road by another specimen and left behind at the winter quarters. The loneliness was too much for the animal and he resisted all efforts to make him cheer up or take his food. He literally starved himself to death. "I have known of several instances where giraffes did away with themselves by starvation, and my impression is that loneliness is the usual cause for it. Each case that came under my observation was where only one of the animals was owned by the zoo. It is an absolute cruelty to exhibit one of these sensitive animals alone. They must have company of their own kind to be contented. "Extreme care is taken with their diet. Nothing but the best clover hay will they touch, and you can't foot them with alfalfa, as we tried to last season upon the coast. They are very fond of a vegetable mash, and we give them large quantities of condensed milk" "No, there is nothing phenomenal about this suicidal mania in animals. It is simply another proof of a fact that I have always maintained, that, in their general characteristics, there is mighty little difference between some animals and many men—except the power of speech." ```markdown ``` lared at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter.

When one has just begun to acquire superfluous desh complete abstinence from sweets and starches, a moderate amount of food at all times, and daily exercise either indoors or out will effect a cure. The effort, however, must be persistent, and the watchfulness must continue even after the desired weight has been reached. Spasmodic efforts either at diet or exercise will be absolutely without lasting results. When one's weight has crept far be yond the normal amount the restraint in diet must be more strenuous and the exercise more violent.—Harper's Weekly. Women's Sweet Laughter.

How much we owe to that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the dark some wood in which we are travelling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of immortality.—Exchange.

The Vote Was 317 to 14 All the Negative Votes Being Cast by Republicans. Washington, D. C.-By the decisive vote of 317 to 14, more than the necessary two-thirds, the house passed the senate joint resolution providing for the submission of the income tax amendment question to the states. The negative votes were all cast by Republicans. The resolution now goes to the president for his signature. The debate lasted about four hours and this afforded many members, mostly Democrats, an opportunity to air their views. Chairman Payne of the committee on ways and means voiced the sentiment that such a tax would make "a nation of liars" although he said it was well that such power should be given congress, especially in times of war. The burden of the Democratic speeches was that it was simply a case of stealing Democratic thunder, although some of the remarks on that side incidentally touched upon the tariff and the corporation tax, with no little amount of castigation of the Republicans for falling as was alleged, to keep party pledges. MOUNTAIN PEAKS DISAPPEAR A Bay Transformed Into a Warm Salt Water Lake and Two Islands Washington, D. C.—Juggling two imposing mountain peaks off the map, transforming a bay into a lake and springing into existence two brand new islands are the astonishing feats of nature discovered in Bering sea by a government party and reported to the treasury department. In that stretch of water, with its swiftly moving currents, is the island of Bogoslof, whose constantly changing conformation has more than once attracted widespread attention. A report received by Captain Commandant Ross, of the revenue cutter service says that a party from the revenue cutter Perry landed on Bogosloff on June 10, last, made a cursory examination of the island and found that a number of important changes had taken place since last year. Perry Peak and McCulloch peak, which had heretofore loomed high in the air, have disappeared, and the opening of the bay or lagoon, a pretty spot shown in pictures on file in the treasury department, has closed up, forming a lake of warm salt water of a temperature of about 71 degrees. The lake is slightly below the sea level and in its centre two small islands have sprung up. One of these islands is throwing off a volume of steam. SATISFACTORY TO STEEL TRUST Both Corey and Gary Have High Opinions of the Aldrich Tariff Bill. New York, N. Y.—Both Wm. E. Corey, president of the United States Steel corporation who arrived from Europe, and Judge H. Gary, chairman of the corporation's board of directors, who sailed for France, had a kind word to say for the results of the tariff revisors efforts. Mr. Corey said that in his belief "almost everybody is satisfied with the tariff bill as it now stands," and predicted that the result of the bill's passage would be a "speedy acceleration of prosperity and along era of good times." Judge Gary was equally optimistic "The new bill should be generally satisfactory," he said, "and President Taft, the cabinet and congress are entitled to great credit for their successful work. The revision has been conservatively downward. Business will improve rapidly from now on, and steel will come into its own again, with new high records." Supreme Court Cuts Verdict. Jefferson City, Missouri.—The Missouri supreme court reduced the judgment of W. F. Gordon, administrator of the estate of Harry L. Prangle of Pittsburg, Kan., against the Kansas City Southern railroad from $35,000 to $25,000 and affirmed it. Prangle was a switchman and was killed. The circuit court jury returned a verdict for $50,000, which the trial court reduced to $35,000. To Collect Cost From Waters-Pierce. Jefferson City, Missouri.—The attorney general's office has requested the clerk of the supreme court to issue a writ of execution against the Waters Pierce company for $17,179.14. This amount represents the costs of the Standard Oil ouster suit which was recently assessed against the Waters-Pierce company by the decision of the court. No Settlement in Persia. Teheran, Persia.—Further efforts by Said Ed Dowleh, the Persian foreign minister, on behalf of the government to reach a friendly settlement with the Nationalists have failed and serious fighting is now looked for. Another Wreck From Floods. Ottawa, Kansas.—The engine of an accommodation train on the Santa Fe railroad was wrecked near Homewood when it was traveling on a track damaged by high water. The engine Special Master E. V. McKeever filed attest to this effect in the supreme Appear. SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE TARIFF BILL IN CONFERENCE THE HOUSE DISAGREED TO ALL SENATE AMENDMENTS. Opposition Among Republicans to the Bill As It Passed the Senate Developed Early. Washington.—The tariff question has been shifted from both houses of congress to a conference committee. After one hour and a half of debate the house by a vote of 178 to 151, made a rule whereby all of the 847 amendments of the senate were disagreed to and the conference requested by the senate granted. Eighteen Republicans voted against the rule and one Democrat for it. The debate at times waxed warm, and disclosed the fact that there were some Republicans, in addition to the so-called "insurgents" who were yet to be pacified before they would give their votes on the final passage of the bill. The Democrats held up the majority party to scorn for having, as they charged, violated its ante-election pledges. A feature of the discussion was an appeal by Chairman Payne to his colleagues to send the confeeers to the senate unhampered by instructions. He promised to rigidly exact an explanation of every amendment made by the senate, in order that the house conferees might report back a bill which would meet the approval of the majority and of the country at large. His appeal was granted. HAVE SUED ON RADFORD'S BOND Kansas Seeks to Collect Fees From Late Head of the State Grain Department. Kansas City, Kansas.—The state of Kansas, by Fred S. Jackson, attorney general, and Joseph Taggart, county attorney of Wyandotte county, began a suit in the first division of the Wyandotte county district court against John W. Radford, former head of the Kansas state grain inspection department, and his bondsmen, the United States Fidelity & Guarantee company. The amount is for $9,443.50, which the state asserts was collected in fees and not turned into the state treasury. WILL APPEAL TO PRESIDENT TAFT The National Clothiers' Association Will Ask That the Tariff Bill Be Vetoed. New York, New York.—President Taft's mail for the next few days will be flooded with letters and petitions urging him to veto the tariff bill, if the plans of the National Clothiers' association formulated at a meeting of their "tariff committee" succeeds. "The only beneficiaries of this bill are the trust," says the committee's appeal. "we despair of help from congress, and our only hope is through President Taft. If he will veto this bill, he will show himself the greatest friend of the people and the most farsighted statesman that ever occupied the White house." Robert L. Knabel, superintendent of the Sioux City division of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and Wm. Brand, division carpenter, were fatally injured when their auto-speeder was derailed near Dalton. Knabel's back was broken. `Captured Persian Capital.` Tehefan, Persla.—Recent events in Turkey are being repeated in Persla. The constitutionalist forces, the advance of which on Tehefan for a time was not considered serious are now in possession of the greater part of the city, which they entered without encountering any organized resistance. A Nebraska Law Declared Void. Lincoln, Nebraska.—The supreme court of the state has handed down a decision, declaring the Donohoe non-partisan judiciary election law invalid. OFF ON THE GLIDDEN TOUR Thirty Automobiles Leave Detroit or a 2,636 Mile Run to Kansas City. Detroit, Michigan—Thirty automobiles, ranging from little runabouts to great touring cars, await the signal which will start them at one minute intervals beginning Monday morning at 10 o'clock on the sixth annual reliability run of the American Automobile association, popularly known as the Glidden Tour. Each repair that has to be made to any machine during the 2,636 miles run to Kansas City by way of Chicago, Minneapolis and Denver, will result in a penalization of the machine's score. In addition to the 30 cars which will contest for the three tropies that are the prizes of the run, about 20 non-competing machines will make the long trip, carrying officers, news paper men, manufacturers and automobile enthusiasts. The contest is 1,000 miles longer and more severe in every way than any of its predecessors. Only three of the 15 days' runs call for less than 150 miles and the last day of the tour demands that the machines cover 212.8 miles from Salina, Kansas, to Kansas City. KILLED BY BOMB EXPLOSION Three Persons Meet Death at a Religious Celebration in Kansas City. Kansas City, Missouri—Amidst a throng of 700 persons who gathered at Fifth and Campbell streets to watch the celebration of St. John's day, a bomb exploded, instantly killing Clarence Harrington, a negro of 511 Lydia avenue, and Anna Fields, a negro woman of 568 Harrison street, and so seriously wounding Tony Grassifife, an Italian living at 811 East Third street, that he died at 10:45 o'clock. The bomb was one used in the pyrotechnical display being held under the direction of the Holy Order of St. John, an organization of the Holy Rosary Roman Catholic church, Fifth and Campbell streets. Tony Grassifife, one of the victims, was the master of ceremonies and for almost an hour he had been lighting bombs, rockets and Roman candles, while the crowd gathered denser in the street. No Special Session Likely. Topeka, Kansas.—Gov. Stubbs has stated that he will not call a special session of the legislature if Superintendent of Insurance Barnes has power to fix rates of interest banks can pay on deposits. Superintendent Barnes says he will accept the opinion of Attorney General Jackson as to his authority. Mr. Jackson says Barnes has all the authority needed. It is pointed out from this that there is little likelihood of a special session. Dr. Murlin Starts for Berlin. Baldwin, Kansas.—President Murlin of Baker University has been given a leave of absence by the board of trustees for one year. In response to an invitation from the congregation of the American Church in Berlin, Doctor Murlin will serve as its pastor the coming winter. Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior and Mrs. Ballinger are in Seattle to spend their summer vacation. On the way west Secretary Ballinger spent several days in the Yellowstone National park. Japanese Laborers $^*$ Work. Honolulu—All of the Japanese laborers at the Walmanale plantation who struck and who made a demonstration against County Sheriff Jarrett when he arrested five of their leaders, have returned to work. Peace in Colombia Confirmed Washington, D. C.—Official confirmation of the report that peace had been re-established at Barranquilla, Colombia, reached the state department from Paxton Hibben, the American charge D'affaires, at Bogota. The KITCHEN GABINET MOST folks think Henry's quiet, And in a crowd o' com- p'ny, he Just shuts up like a clam. But somehow 'r other, Jane, you know, (She) Henry's brother's wife, She makes him talk; you never see, The beat in all your life! Now, Henry's fond o' fishin', And Jane talks at a stretch 'Bout minny-pails, and fishin' poles, M An' every kind o' ketch. He knows a lot of farmin' and Jane asks about the land. And craps and things, till Henry starts And talks to beat the band. I don't know why, when he's with us, His voice is never heard; But Jane's so slick, she makes him talk, And laughs at every word. It may be "tact" they call it, or A "jolly" that she hands him; But I guess he explains it when, He says she "understands him." The best diet includes just the proper supply of fat in the system. Not too much, for that will bring on scurvy, indigestion, and attendant ills. But not too little, for that is as bad, as the caloric, or heat which fats afford is most necessary to health. Fats should not be much cooked; they are not dissolved by cooking, are on the contrary, partially decomposed by heat, and consequently less digestible. It is obvious that uncooked fats, such as butter, oil, and cream are the most wholesome. Food fried in fat, croquettes, rissoles, etc., remain a long time, coated over with the grease, proof against the gastric juice, and difficult, therefore of digestion. This is a sweetmeat as difficult to prepare as it is delicious: Shell some large Italian chestnuts and blanche them in boiling water to which has been added some, lemon juice. When the outer and inner shell can be removed without breaking the nut, drop each nut in warm, acidulated water (one part sugar to two of water). Lay the nuts in this and simmer gently till they are tender and the sirup is thick. Bottle and cork like ordinary fruit till wanted. For use, drain the nuts from the sirup, boil sugar till it cracks, and in this dip the nuts, singly, and dry in the oven or on oiled plates. HE poets sing of colum- bine and gorgeous mandible. Of tulls and the red and white of roses; About the "illies of the field," the Bible sang of old. These, I agree, make mighty pretty posies. But would you know the flower that you can always rely on To come up smiling every time? It is the dandellon. Most flowers are kind 'o delicate; and need a heap o' care. Why, you even have to coddle holly- hooks. And others—they can't be out late, nor stand the evening air, But have to go to bed, like four o'chicks. But the hardy little dandelion asks a scrap of earth. And there he'll grow and blossom for all that he is worth. And some need certain climates, and take different degrees (The orchids and some other kinds are cranky). But the dandelion—every sort of air with him agrees. He'll grow alike for southerner and Yankee. I know he wears a golden crown, and has a kingly bend. But like the true aristocrat, he's every- body's friend. The discovery of the pineapple as fruit was coinedident with the exploration of South America by the Spaniards. As early as the 17th century it was cultivated in England and Holland. It is grown now, either in glass houses or in the open of nearly all nations. Pineapple contains an active digestive principle called "Ananasine," and there is an excellent medicine prepared from it. Sliced pineapple should contain not one bit of the peel. It should soak in sugar, after being sliced and the eyes removed, for 12 hours—in the refrigerator if possible. Pineapple added to other fruits, pears, apples, etc., gives a tart and pleasant tang. Pineapple canape.—Melt two tablespoons butter, add a pint shredded pineapple, and cook ten minutes. Add sugar and lemon juice to taste, and serve on slices of bread or cake. Garnish with cream. Whole Pineapple.—This is a pleasing dish, and will serve when no other decoration is convenient. Cut off the base of a large pineapple, and hollow out the center. Shred the meat and sprinkle with sugar. Return to the empty peel, set upright on a plate, and replace the crown, leaves and all. ```markdown ``` PRESIDENT AT A CONFERENCE Is Assisting to Shape Tariff Bill—Corporation Tax Will Be Reduced. Washington, D. C.—At a conference at the White house it was definitely decided that the rate to be levied under the new corporation tax shall be reduced from two per cent to one per cent, and that in re-drafting the measure, now in conference along with the tariff bill, to meet various objections that have been raised, due consideration shall be given to the demands of the mutual life insurance companies whose incomes would be seriously affected by the tax in its original form. President Taft was the central figure in a number of conferences and is living up to the prediction made many weeks ago that in the conference consideration of the tariff he would actively lend his influence to bringing about a conciliation of the differences between the two houses. The president told several of his callers that he is finding the conferences conciliatory and that he is hopeful that a satisfactory measure will be presented to him for his signature. The conference report should be available according to the president's information by the end of next week. NO TIMBER FAMINE HE SAYS Head of a Western Lumber Company Thinks We Have Enough for all Time. Seattle, Wash.—Frederick Weyerhaeuser, president of the Weyerhaeuser Timber company the largest holder of timber lands in the United States, takes issue with Gifford Pinchot, head of the United States Forestry Department, on the statement that there is danger of exhausting the timber supply in the next 20 years. Mr. Weyerhaeuser says that he believes that the timber supply of the United States will never give out. "There is no reason to believe that the timber supply will ever be exhausted," said Mr. Weyerhaeuser. "I am of the opinion that we will have ample timber for our needs for an indefinite time—for all time, in fact. "Talk commonly indulged in regard to the depletion of timber in the East, the West and South is an exaggeration. There is still an abundance in the South, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and contiguous territory. With ordinarily conservative methods of lumbering and with proper safeguards against forest fires and utterly useless waste, it should last forever." STEEL STEAMERS IN A COLLISION Fourteen Members of Crew Drowned —Heavy Fog the Cause—Laden With 8,000 Tons of Ore. Sault Ste Marie, Micaigan—Three minutes after the steel steamers Isaac M. Scott and John B. Cowlo had collided in Lake Superior about a mile and a half off Whitefish Point light house, the Cowle had gone to the bottom in 50 fathoms of water carrying with her 14 members of her crew. The Scott, although badly damaged, about the bow, put back to this port, where she arrived with part of the crew of the Cowle. A heavy fog was responsible for the collision. The Scott, a new boat on her maiden trip to the head of the lakes, had just passed the light at Whitefish Point, and straightened out her course up the lake when suddenly the John B. Cowle loomed up through the fog, broadside on to the Scott and only a few feet away. The Cowle was down bound with 8,000 tons of iron ore in the hold. The Church of the Pilgrims. Amsterdam, Netherlands.—A bronze tablet presented by the Chicago Congregational club in commemoration of the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers, in Amsterdam, in 1609, and in recognition of the hospitality of the city of Amsterdam, was unveiled in the English reformed church. Since the year 1607 English speaking people have worshipped in this church, including many of the pilgrims and others who in the 17th century became colonists in America. Thirteenth Infantry Flood Bound. Farmers Sue For Flood Loss. Abilene, Kansas. — Eight farmers east of town brought suits aggregating $22,000 against the Huffman Milling Company of Enterprise charging that their railway bridge over the Smoky Hill river caused flood damage to their crops and land in 1908, Low Rates to Kansas City. Low Rates to Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo.-The railroads are to give reduced rates for the P. D. P. fall festivities. Last year only the Kansas City Southern and the Chicago Great Western railroads granted reduced rates. This year all of the lines will give a rate of one and one-half fare for the round trip from points within a radius of 200 miles of Kansas City. The tickets will be on sale October 4 to 8, with a final return limit October 11. The lowest priced tickets that will be sold will be $1.50 for the round trip. JANE'S WAY. Fats in Food.

An English Housewife's Comments on American Cookery. One thing I notice as very strange in your country, and that is that you do not know how to cut bread. I wonder if it is the fault of the knives? The bread is too thick or too thin, and the edges are jagged, and the crust broken. The English table is so limited compared with yours. Why, do you realize how the English housekeeper must devise ways and means to make the same fruits and vegetables do service the year round? Oranges, bananas and "pines," and then bananas, pines and oranges—furnish the only fruit. No watermelons, few peaches, and those at sixpence apiece, nothing to break the monotony. Thus it is that the English men read so elaborately; they are obliged to make frequent changes in service, and elaborate sauces and all sorts of fancy dressings and garnishings to vary the monotony. The chef must furnish the variety which is denied by nature to the hampered housewives of the "tight little island." Sandwiches on the Bias These may be made of any filling; the object being only to cut the bread lengthwise, instead of in the customary slices. Take off all the crust, and slice the loaf in long pieces, cutting them afterwards into the desired size. Some prefer this grain of the bread. Cold Boiled Beets.—This is a favorite dish in summer, and it is a pleasing addition to salads, stews, etc. But it must be remembered that cold beets are most indigestible, and should be eaten sparingly. THE REASON WHY. ROPINQUITY more lovers makes, Than love," folks say. Maybe. But I've no notion what folks mean By that "propinquity," And I'm sure it ain't so with us. For Sue is awful dear; And would you know the reason why? It's cause she's always near! When I go out to fetch the cows, Aong about sundown. I meet Sue, pleckin' flowers, or Just drivin' in from town. And comin' home from plowin', Just as I rest awhile. I meet with Sue and help her Across the north-lot stile. You see, our families neighbor some, And Pa and Farmer Brown. They all come up to our house, Or maybe, we go down. We're thrown together such a lot, That we're in love, you see; But I don't know what people mean, By that "propinquity." Small Injuries The old saying about the "ounce of prevention" applies more than forebely to the every-day hurts, the small injuries which we are prone to neglect. One engaged about the kitchen is cut, perhaps, or slightly scratched with a sharp utensil. She binds it with a cloth, a soiled one, maybe, and forgets it. But often this careless treatment is worse than none, for the cloth introduces germs which the air cannot reach with its healing power, and often from the most insignificant scratches, blood-poisoning results. This is not the cry of an alarmist but a warning against carelessness. For cleanliness, a slight care taken in time prevents much after trouble. The scheme is simple; keep a bottle containing a weak solution of carbolic acid (any druggist will give you ten cents' worth of a 10 per cent solution and this will last a long time). Wash the wound and apply a clean cloth (first saturated in hot water and then soaked in the solution). Bind the cut, cover with a dry cloth, and the chances are that it will quickly heal. Nature will do the work, but she must not be interfered with by any germs permitted to enter through a lack of care and cleanliness. Scum on Jelly should be carefully removed before filling the glasses. Its presence indicates air, and hastens decomposition.

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, with other three, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A.

It is a very suitable house for a summer resort or for a small family in a suburban town. The size and shape of the house, with its heavy veranda and gable roof, gives it a very neat, pleasing appearance. Although small and inexpensive, it is by no means a cheap-looking house. When built for a summer cottage it looks well with the more expensive and more pretentious houses, and because of the splendid veranda it affords hot weather entertaining capacity superior to some larger ones. The way in which the veranda piers are built should be noticed especially. The corner blocks are carried up in such a way that the piers are simply extensions from corners of the walls, the blocks being made to a suitable size with this end in view. Then the veranda openings between the piers have square corners so that screens may be easily and accurately fitted. More attention is being paid to veranda screens every year because of the added comfort. Even houses in cities are often screened in very carefully and at considerable expense. But when it comes to a house in the country, and especially at a summer resort, a complete set of fly screens 1920 carefully fitted add as much, or more, to the comfort of the family than any other one feature. When people go away from home in the summer time they prefer to live outdoors as much as possible, and I find in visiting houses in suburban towns that people are appreciating fresh air privileges more than they ever did before. People generally are breathing more air and enjoying more sunshine and getter health because of the knowledge sent broadcast during the last few years giving the PORCH SINK KITCHEN 10'6"X100" CASE BED ROOM 10'0"X10'0" CLOS LIVING ROOM 18'0"X12'0" PORCH 21'0"X7'6" First Floor Plan. causes of tuberculosis and the proper preventive measures. I think that is another reason why such small houses as this are becoming popular in the outskirts of our larger cities. It often happens that these comfortable little cheap houses are built with the expectation of living in them during the summer months, but in reality the families remain in them the greater part of the year, sometimes moving into the city only for the months of January and February. We are learning new tricks in building houses and in making use of them every year. And we are becoming more sensible. There is less vulgar display and more solid comfort. Fewer men are building big houses for the notoriety it brings them. More men are building little comfortable houses just big enough for their needs, and small enough so the women folks can take care of them without killing themselves. I have simply noted the desire on the part of the populace for smaller and more convenient houses and have made plans accordingly. I have tried to give people what they want, and I believe I have succeeded. The interior of this little house is made the most of. The large living room, 12x18 feet in size, is very attractive, and it offers advantages in the way of furnishing that will be taken advantage of by women who are par- BED ROOM 18'0"X10'0" CL BATH 7'0"X5'0" HALL BED ROOM 15'0"X8'6" CL Second Floor Plan ticular to arrange their living room with an idea to comfort. In the plan as shown the chimney is conveniently placed both for the kitchen and for a fire in the living room. If desired, a fireplace can be 1 built in at the time of building the house, or it may be added later. In a plan so small it seems better to leave out the pantry entirely, but the fact is pantries are not considered as important as they once were. In this plan a case extends clear across one side of the kitchen and there are shelves and cupboards from the floor to the ceiling, which afford storeroom for everything necessary, and as there are four cupboard doors to open out it is easy to get at any part of the case of cupboards either for cleaning or to reach the supplies. The intention is to leave one end of the living room for the dining table, a plan that is often adopted by those living in small houses. Some housekeepers clear the table immediately after meals and use it for a reading table between times. Other housekeepers have a fancy movable screen that may be used to partition the table away from the rest of the room. Probably a combination of the two plans is the most satisfactory. Only by living in a house is it possible to know how to adjust yourself to the different circumstances and conditions. You learn by degrees to fit yourself into the corners along with the different articles of furniture that especially appeal to you, until you finally discover that you actually belong there and would not feel comfortable anywhere else. That is one of the strongest arguments in favor of buying a home. It is something to take a keen interest in, you put your whole heart into it, and you are happy, because the home is where the heart is. Shetland Ponies The Shetland ponies are exceptionally strong, says Vogue, because for generations they have been accustomed to picking their way up and down the precipitous hillsides of the mountainous land of their birth. Unsoundness of wind or leg is almost unknown, and the little animals are, of course, very sure-footed. Originating in the Shetland islands, they are said to have been there prior to the ninth century, and have long and pure pedigrees. The breed is the smallest of ponies, the height ranging from 34 to 46 inches, and there are comparatively few of them in this country—only about 5,000 Shetlands—and less than that number in the Shetland islands. The disposition of the Shetland is of the best, the testimony of all breeders being to the effect that they are docile, fearless, loyal, patient and good-tempered. Moreover, they are inexpensive to keep, live to a great age, and are always salable. --- NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBIN Come to Think of it, He Would Have Felt Funny Sitting in the Position Indicated. The family horse, who rejoiced in the eminently proper equine name of Dobbin, had earned a rest by long service, and was accordingly sent away to the country to spend his declining years in the broad pastures of a farmer friend of his owner. The distance being somewhat excessive for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped to his new home by rail. Little Edna, the family four-year-old, viewed the passing of Dobbin with unfeigned sorrow. She sat for a long time gazing disconsolately out of the window. At last, after a deep sigh, she turned with a more cheerful expression, and said: "Did old Dobbin go on the choochoo cars, mamma?" "Yes, dear," answered her mother. A broad grin spread over the little girl's face. "I was just thinking," she said, "how funny he must feel sitting up on the plush cushions.—Woman's Home Companion. DREADFUL DANDRUFF. Girl's Head Encrusted—Feared Loss of All Her Hair—Baby Had Milk-Crust—Missionary's Wife Made Two Perfect Cures by Cuticura. "For several years my husband was a missionary in the Southwest. Every one in that high and dry atmosphere has more or less trouble with dandruff and my daughter's scalp became so encrusted with it that I was alarmed for fear she would lose all her hair. After trying various remedies, in desperation I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left the scalp beautifully clean and free from dandruff, and I am happy to say that the Cuticura Remedies were a complete success. I have also used successfully the Cuticura Remedies for so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head. Cuticura is a blessing. Mrs. J. A. Darling, 310 Fifth St., Carthage, Ohio, Jan. 20, 1908."

The Courier-Journal tells of this embarrassing statement made by a well-known Louisville woman who is known as "saying things without thinking." Her daughter was entertaining a young man on the front porch and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over a year old, and it was trying to walk. "You shouldn't let it walk so young," advised the thoughtless matron. "Wait until it's a little older. I let my daughter walk when she was about that age, and it made her bow-legged." The young man began to talk energetically about the weather. Mother Bird Drove Boy Away People on Main street, Dallastown, Pa., witnessed an amusing sight the other morning, when a curious small boy who climbed into a maple tree for a closer inspection of a nest of young robins was put to flight by an angry mother bird. Discovered by the old bird after he had clambered into the tree the youngster was savagely attacked. The bird pecked viciously, at his bare hands and face, causing him to retreat to the ground, and then driving him home. Teach Care of Home and Family Teach Care of Home and Family.

Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. MAKING UP RIGHT QUANTITY. President Taft's Willful Misinterpretation of Little Girl's Intended Haughty Rebuke. President Taft is fond of children, with whom he is a favorite. A charming story on this head comes from Cincinnati. Once, when a six Cincinnati girl was a child of six or seven, Mr. Taft, calling at her house, found nobody home excepting herself. She entertained him a little while, and when he rose to go, he stooped down and kissed her. "Here's one," he said, "for the baby, Here is another for little Jim. And here is a third for Billie-boy." The little girl, drawing herself up, said haughtily—she had been reading a novel: "Mr. Taft, you forget yourself!" He bent down again. "So I did," he laughed. "Well, here's one for myself!" We lose money and comfort, and even temper sometimes by not learning to be more careful.—Dickens. Burning String in the Sick-Room. Months spent in a sick room have taught me many things for the comfort of an invalid, one of the simplest and most effective of which is burning a string to purify the atmosphere. Take a soft string and stick it with a pin to the back of a chair; after lighting, blow it out gently, leaving the tiny spark, which will create smoke enough to make a decided difference in the atmosphere.—Harper's Bazar. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Hospitals a Benefit to Property. Hospitals a Benefit to Property. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has recently concluded an investigation, which shows that 67.5 per cent. of the tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals of the United States have been a benefit to the property and health of the communities in which they are located. In the case of more than 62 per cent. of the sanatoria the presence of the institutions has helped to increase the assessed value of surrounding property. Another Step Needed. "I like my house all right," said Luschman, "except for one thing. I guess you'll have to fix that." "What is it?" asked the architect. "Several times lately I've nearly broken my neck reaching for another step at the head of the stairs when I got home late, so I guess you'd better put another step there."—Catholic Standard and Times.

Let's Be Fair. The wires have flashed the news that a "peach basket" hat worn by a woman in a canoe, and rendered lopsided by the careless zephyr, caused a list and overturned the craft. At this point the correspondent, evidently male and prejudiced, stopped short. If he wished to be fair he should have gone on to tell that the occupants of the boat grasped the hat, climbed aboard of it, and until their rescue fared sumptuously on the fruit and garden truck which constituted a part of its artistic decoration.

VISITS WITH UNCLE BY O. H. She came to work for us one day, To wash and cook and things like the She could not speak our tongue at all, But she could iron linen flat. She did not ask a queenly wage— Six dollars and her keep was all. We taught her how to bake and brown She asked eight dollars in the fall. By spring she knew the way to well Upon a table fairly well, And she could do a dozen things That daily to her lot betell. Twen then she asked four evening out And thought a dollar more would do— The next thing was her Sundays off As soon as morning work was through! And when the summer time was near, A fellow came to call one day. The visit caused us much alarm— She struck at once for higher pay! We granted this and helped her learn Until we knew we had a gem— And now, confound it, I must go And buy a wedding gift for them! By the Way. A telephone girl will accept a ring from any old man. Being honest pays a man's mother more than 100 per cent. Thirst drives some men to drink but langer will drive a poet to ink. It is not a sign of good luck to find the horseshoe on your own dead horse. When two swolled heads get together, each is sure that the other belongs to a foe. It is almost time for the great daily papers to begin calling negligent Christmas shoppers tight wads. When Little Willie gives his pickle to his sister, it is not always a sign of great heartiness. Willie may have the mumps. The average business man who has kept the present business pace for 20 or 30 years, doesn't look upon death with any great amount of fear and trembling. If a politician would kick up as much noise on a campaign tour as one small boy can raise with a new drum, he would stand some show of being elated. A Texas newspaper is responsible for the statement that a farmer of his county when asked how much corn he raised this year, replied he had raised a powerful lot, sold a heap and had a right smart left yet. The question is, "How much did he raise?" When it comes to real humor, you find it in the country. A resident of certain town being in the chicken and egg business, the local paper says: "Bill Imel is still doing business at the old stand. Bring in your ancient settin' bens and patriarchal coosters." "What is it? Did the man hit an auto-mobble-bubble-bubble?" "No, the man did not hit an auto-mobble-bubble-bubble; he is an editor and he has his eye out for men he owes, ain't it?" "Did a prizefighter find the editor?" "No, a man came in and paid his subscription for ten years in advance and the editor withered!" "Nor sleeping?" "Poor man! Why do people alway do things to editors?" "Curly Locks, I cannot say, only it must be nice for an editor to be para- wzed!" Early one morning a terrifying seasick passenger, pale and hollow eyed, came out of his stateroom, and ran into a lady, who was coming along the passageway, clad in the scantiest raiment. She screamed and started to run. "Don't be alarmed, madam; I shall never live to tell it" -Girard (Ill.) At short. Special Master E. V.

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 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 "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 misdolings 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. 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." Said the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abbor 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.
