Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT ELEVENTH YEAR Man With The Hammer Have you seen the man with the hammer? He's in town. He is the fellow who goes about the town "knocking" and "rapping" on everybody--except himself. He is too busy "knocking" on other folks to have any business of his own. It takes him 48 hrs. out of every day to "knock" and "rap" on other people--so he is too busy to work. He is a most measly, miserable creature--this "knocker" is—He can't sleep at night—he cant eat—hasn't time to work—and just does manage to breath—he is so afraid he will miss a chance to 'knock' on some one. Watch for him--last seen of him he was headed your way. When you do meet him and know him spot him one--good and plenty. He is a menance to the public. The sooner he is gone the better for all.

The editor of the Searchlight has recieved many of flattering compliments from severol prominent colored and white citizens on his presentation of the outrageous tight color line which har been set up and is now being maintaiued by the public officials of Sedgwick County. We are glad to know that in our request of fair play for our race in this county we are able to get the ear of some of the best thinking and conservative members of white as well as the colored race. It is not our intention to raise strife-politically or otherwise- but we firmly believe that all the citizens of this county should be dealt with fairly and justly. We would not for one moment encourage our race in an unjust or unreasonable demand any more than we will acqueise in the white officials denying to them their just participation in the enormous sum each year being paid out as JANUARY 22nd 1910. salary. We of the North-of Kansas—are too much inclined to extend our pitty to the Negro of the South—politically when we uenture toe assertion—there is not a county in all the hot-bed of the South where the Negro is so completely barred from all public county offices as they are right here in Sedgwick. It is not only a shame on the county officials—but is likewise a disgrace co our proud county—the most lively and thrifty in Kansas and the west. It will take evidence—and not merely a declaration to convince any sane and fair-minded man—that it is the desire of the average white people of this county that the Negro should be so completely barred from the public "pie counter" as the present county official would make it appear that they are. All we ask is fair play. IOLA KANSAS Golden Tabernacle No 2 held an interesting meeting at their hall, Jan. 8th. 1910 Dtrs English and Parker who have been reported much improved.

Ewing and Miss Jennie Wheeler. Wm A. Brady, the theatre man ager and former prize fight promoter gave the general fighting characteristic of the Negro race in speaking of cbonces of Johnson to win from Jiff Jeffries. He said "Crowd a Negro close and he will fight like a tigor." This has been demonstrated by the Negro not only in the prize ring, but on the battle fields, on ships on war and in maintaining his very every day existence. A number of colored sports of Chicago, New York, Bostod and Philadelphia and several other eastern cities are raising a fuud of $100.000 to be known as the "Jack Johnson Fund" to be bet on Jack Johnson, the Negro Champion Prize fighter of the world. The colored sporrs all over the world have implicit confidence in Johnson to win on July 4th. The Searchlight man is not hard to get along with----treat him right and he is your friend through thick and thin. All these folks who howl about the Search light has every blasted one of them tried to give the Searchlight the short end of the shring. That won't work with us—we will go half-way—hut no futthur. Does the colored men of Wichita need a Negro Business League Will some one please answer. 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 misdoings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge adivsed the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from far and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. 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 abhor the stuff. It is heroic 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. Getting Ahead of One's Self, "If I have anything to do that I particularly dislike, I start to work on is the first thing after breakfast, subordinating all routine work to that task," said a successful housekeeper recently. "One can expend enough nervous energy thinking about and worrying over an unpleasant duty to accomplish it. When it is finished and off one's mind early in the day, one gets ahead of one's self, so to speak." When Tower Loomed. It was while Charlemagne Tower was ambassador to Russia that a New York city newspaper "spread itself" upon a fete held at St. Petersburg. A green copy-reader produced this result: "As pleasing to the eye as was all this decoration there was additional pleasure in the sight, as one stood at the head of the Prospekt Nevska, of Charlemagne Tower, brilliantly illuminated, looming grand and imposing against the winter sky."—Success Magazine. THE AMERICAN HOME W-A.RADFORD EDITOR THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN 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 the largest authority on all these subjects. All inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 124 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. In the winter months, when the ground is covered with snow and the fire burns in the stove, is the season when the family dreams of the new house. Nor is there any more laudable ambition than to own a home. The curse of the modern life is the necessity that compels millions to live in rented apartments or houses. And every normal man who pays rent hopes sometime to own a home of his own. His children, he feels, have a right to live under a roof of their own, and it is his ambition to give them what is their right. Once there was a man who decided to build himself a home. This man had a few notions about what he wanted in his house when it was finished, and how much he wanted to expend in the construction of it. He had gone into all the details and had figured out all about the interior trim and the kind of glass he wanted in the house. Every detail he had figured out and had made up his mind about everything before he consulted his architect. Then in the natural order of events he went to see his architect and laid before him his ideas. Everything was clear and the architect proceeded to HOLLYWOOD draw up his plans after the directions given. Then the next step was the asking of bids from contractors. There were six bids, and all were within a hundred dollars of one another. The architect felt sure that the figures were right in each case, and advised his client to make his selection. But the client came to the conclusion that the work should be done for less money, and he asked for bids from other contractors. The result was the offer of one, an unknown KITCHEN 14' x 10' 6" DINING ROOM 14' x 13' MALL STAIR MED MALL 11' x 11' 6" LIVING ROOM 14' x 14' 9" PORCH First Floor Plan contractor, to do the work for a ridiculously low figure. The client wanted the contract let to this man, but the architect, who had experience, advised him to give the work to one of the first blidders, because they were men who had reputations for good work. The client was insistent, and the job was let to the man of his choice. The house was built, but what a difference from what had been planned! Inferior and cheap grades of materials were used in every possible form in every item of the construction. There was careless work everywhere, and things were changed in the details to such an extent that when the house was finished it was not satisfactory from any point of view. It was then that the owner woke up to the fact that he had made a mistake. All too late he realized the fact that he had sacrificed the quality and appearance of his home to save a few dollars. The unknown contractor had built the house at the price --- he had agreed on, but the house was far from being the one the owner expected. Now, the experience of this man is typical of that of all home builders who try to get their work done by unknown contractors or at figures too low. A few hundred dollars may be BED ROOM 9.6 x 14 BED ROOM 14.4 x 14 BATH ROOM 9.4 x 14 MALL BED ROOM 14.4 x 14 BED ROOM 14.4 x 14 Second Floor Plan saved at the time, but in the end it is an extremely expensive undertaking. The way to go about building a house is to enter upon the enterprise just as you would in buying a suit of clothes. If you go to a good tailor of reputa- THE FARM HOUSE tion you are sure to get a good suit. If you go to a cheap John place you will get a suit that will not please you. In building a home the acme of desire is a house that will come within the reasonable limits of what has been planned, and the only plan to follow is to have a man do the work who has a reputation for following the plans of the architect and using honest materials. The house here shown is of the colonial type so popular the country over just now. It is the style of house that is peculiarly American and which answers the requirements of modern life. There is a wide porch surmounted by a rail that makes the roof available for use on summer nights. Entrance to the house is had to a large reception hall. The width of this house, by the way, is 25 feet 6 inches, and the length is 36 feet 6 inches, exclusive of the porch. Off the main reception hall and entered through a wide doorway is the living room. This room is 12 feet 8 inches by 15 feet 4 inches in dimensions. The vital point about a house is to provide it with a dining room that will answer all requirements as to size. This plan calls for a dining room 12 feet wide and 13 feet long, of sufficient size to meet ordinary demands as to space. The kitchen and pantry are conveniently arranged and a china closet is located back of the pantry. On the second floor are four bedrooms and a bathroom, with plenty of closet room. Scotch Tailor a Garibaldi Veteran. Alexander A. Walker of Edinburgh has been notified by the Italian ambassador in London that by order of his majesty the king of Italy the minister of war has granted him the right to wear the medal for the war of independence and unity in acknowledgment of the services rendered by him in the cause of Italy in the ranks of the British Legion during the campaign of 1860. Walker was working as a tailor in Glasgow when Garibaldi came to the front and he became enthusiastic and volunteered. Sailing from London he landed at Palermo and took part in the advance to Naples. He was at the battle of Milazzo and Reggio and at the siege of Messina, and entered Naples on September 7, 1860. Mr. Walker served a year, and although taking part in many engagements was only once wounded slightly. PINGHOT WITH THE PRESIDENT PINGHOT WITH THE PRESIDENT BOTH ADDRESSED CIVIC FEDERATION CONFERENCE. Retired Chief Forester in His Speech Heartily Endorses Plans Outlined in President's Message. Washington, D. C.—President Taft and Gifford Pinchot stood shoulder to shoulder in advocacy of laws to conserve the natural resources. There was no intimation of the recent conflict that resulted in the separation of Mr. Pinchot from the government service by direct orders of the president. Speaking at the opening of the National Civic Federation conference, the president endorsed conservation and suggested uniformity in state laws as an aid to federal enactments for this purpose. The president also urged uniform marriage and divorce laws and the adoption of the simplicity of the English procedure in law and equity. Mr. Pinchot commended the president's recommendations for conservation laws, urged their endorsement by the conference and suggested united action to secure their speedy enactment by congress. In closing his address he said: "Now is the time for all good men to come to the help of the conservation movement without regard to party or prejudice and any personal consideration." "We have come at last to the point of action," he said. "We must either go forward or fall back. Here is a mighty field for uniform action and for co-operation between the states themselves and between them and the nation. These conservation questions are to-day the overshadowing problems before the state and before the people. How they are settled will affect every man now alive and every citizen of this nation as long as it shall endure.

Chicago, Illinois.—The denial of John R. Walsh's petition for a writ of certiorari by the supreme court of the United States closes the last chapter in the history of his long fight for freedom. The convicted banker is now powerless to proceed further in his efforts to escape the prison bars which have loomed before him ever since his indictment three years ago. New Grand Jury for Sugar Men. New York, N. Y.-With the swearing in of a new federal grand jury came the prospect of further developments, possibly of a sensational nature, in connection with the sugar under-welghing frauds. It is expected that the new body of federal investigators will endeavor to place responsibility for the admitted frauds upon shoulders other than those of the humble checkers now in the Blackwell Island penitentiary. Blow at the Packers. Washington, D.

Women Are Taking the Lead and Workers are Wanted in Every Congressional District. Washington, D. C.—Headed in strenuous endeavor by Mrs. John B. Henderson, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey and the wives of a number of congressmen, the national anti-trust league, which was formally organized in Washington, is making preparations for a nation wide crusade on the high prices of foodstuffs and the trusts which are held responsible for the increased cost of living. The mails hourly bring in thousands of letters from housewives and home keepers all over the country showing that the interest in the movement is intense. Although the response from men is widespread, yet it is the women of the nation who appear vitally concerned in the matter and who are eagerly inquiring how they may help in the work and giving good suggestions as to the method of procedure. it has been decided that Mrs. Mary Parker, a Washington newspaper woman, shall be the head of the executive committee it is hoped that by having a woman heading this committee many other women may be recruited into the working personnel of the league. An effort will be made to interest society women in the movement. In every congressional district lists are now being prepared of available women for district leaders and workers. It is the aim of the league to get women who are accustomed to leadership in like movements to become these district leaders and they will be appointed only upon recommendations from their congressmen. When they have been appointed registration stations will be opened and besides the duty of registering new members, the district agents will undertake investigations into the price of foods in their districts and when they find extortions lodge complaints with the home office of the league in Washington.

THE MEAT BOYCOTT SPREADING The Movement in Ohio to Strike at High Prices of Food Finds Ready Response. Cleveland, Ohio—Cleveland's anti-meat strike as a blow at the increased cost of living is in full swing. It is estimated that fully 6,000 men have signed a pledge to abstain from meat for a month in an effort to break the high prices. An effort will be made by the promoters of the plan to spread the doctrine of anti-meat to all parts of Ohio. Already a similar movement has been started in Springfield, O., with several hundred followers. While the strike is directed at the high cost of meat, the advanced prices of other staple foods will not be overlooked. The movement started when the foreman of three factories took up the idea of having their men sign a pledge to abstain from meat.

English Liberals Winning. London, England.—Although both sides in the English parliamentary struggle are preserving a sanguine air of confidence, it was evident that the Conservatives have abandoned hope that their party will form the next government.

The association says that the existing high prices of leather and materials makes the increase necessary, but that the new prices will be so adjusted as "to permit the addition to each grade of such value as will compensate the wearer for increased costs." The association's approval of the repeal of the duty on hides was unanimously roteed. "DEATH EXAMPLES" IN ARMY AND NAVY SUMMARY EXECUTIONS FOR GOOD OF THE SERVICE COPYRIGHT 1909 BY W.A. PATTERSON amples" set by commanding officers in the field, who constituted themselves the last reviewing authority, was that of a quarter-breed Seminole Indian who, enlisting in the United States army, endeavored to betray the brave little band of Ma. Dade to the hostile reds in the everglades of Florida. The story of this execution and of the circumstances leading to it is but little more to-day than an army tradition, the whole thing being involved in much mystery. Not long after the shooting of the quarter-breed, Dade's entire command was annihilated by the Seminoles. Almost the only thing on public view to-day which recalls that tragedy of the swamps, is a plain white marble shaft, which rises at West Point not far from Kosciusko's garden, to commemorate the death of Dade and of his 200 intrendid followers.

The S can coast, w tion of America about half w cer was hot Osceola, the chief of the Seminoles, saw a number of his subordinate leaders sign a treaty with the whites, by which the Indians' land was to be given up. Osceola, asked to sign the paper, stepped forward, drew his hunting knife and stuck its blade through the document and deep into the desk upon which it lay "There is my signature," he said, and strode from the room. From that instant war was on. One of the witnesses of this fearless act was the soldier whose blood was one-quarter Indian. It stirred in him an admiration for Osceola that made him swear to himself later to aid the Indian chief's cause. A familiarity with the country on the part of the quarter-breed led Dade to select him as guide. The soldier led the command straight to an ambush, which was discovered by a fortunate circumstance, just in time to save the command from the annihilation which, however, came later. There was a drumhead court martial. The guide was sentenced to be shot at sunrise. His last request was granted. He removed from his person all signs of the uniform of the United States. He put on leggings and hunting shirt of deerskin. Then this man, three-quarters white and only one-quarter red, sang the death song of the Seminole Indians, and died with five bullets in his breast. If a man will picture to himself the sensation that there would have been in the United States If Admiral Dewey had strung up to the yardard "until he was dead," the son of the secretary of war, on the charge of mutiny, and had done this without communicating with the authorities at Washington, he may get some adequate idea of the excitement of the American people in the year 1843, when it was learned that Capt. Alexander Sldell Mackenzie, of the brig Somers, had hanged Ensign Philip Spencer, the son of President Tyler's secretary of war, John C. Spencer. This execution took place on the high seas, and with Ensign Spencer were hanged Ordinary Seama¹ Small, and Boatswain's Mate Cromwell. Prior to being ordered to the Somers, Spencer had been on a vessel in the south Atlantic squadron, and while there had become involved in some practices which secured his removal from his vessel. He was saved from dtsmissal from the service by sheer force of his father's political influence. When he was ordered to Capt. Mackenzie's brig, that officer objected to the assignment, saying that he had no use for the "base son of an honored father." Spencer went along, however, and for a while behaved himself fairly well. There were 12 officers on the brig with a crew of 12 able seamen, and about 90 apprentice boys. The Somers' destination was the African coast, where it was to aid in the protection of American commerce. When it was about half way across it was noticed that Spencer was hobnobbling with the crew; that he was giving some of the men money, and others brandy and tobacco. One night a seaman named Wales imparted secretly to Mackenzie the details of a plot concocted by Spencer to murder all the officers and to seize the brig for the purpose of entering upon a career of piracy. The story that Wales told was so horrible in its outlines that Capt. Mackenzie treated it at first with ridicule, but the actions of certain members of the crew soon showed that there was something in the wind. The officers held a consultation and agreed that Spencer's arrest was imperative. The crew was assembled at evening quarters, when the son of the secretary of war was arrested. Upon his person was found the details of the plan for killing the officers, seizing the ship and the throwing overboard of the younger apprentices, whom the paper referred to as "useless biscuit consumers." The document was written entirely in Greek, Spencer being a classical scholar. Luckily there was another officer on board who read the language. After the seizing of Spencer, many of the crew became obedient, sullen and mutinous in action. Then Capt. Mackenzie ordered the arrest of Small and Cromwell. After this the sullen ones among the crew behaved worse than ever. The officers held a consultation, and it was agreed that unless an example were set, the Somers would meet the fate of the Bounty. They signed a recommendation that the three ringleaders be hanged at the yardarm. The three culprits were strung up, Spencer and Small confessing their guilt, and saying that they deserved their fate. When the Somers reached New York, Capt. Mackenzie communicated with the navy department. A court of inquiry was ordered and he was cleared of any blame. In spite of this fact, his chief, the secretary of the navy, ordered his arrest on the charge of murder. He was tried and acquitted by a board of officers, and President Tyler approved the verdict. After the close of the civil war, Gen. Custer was ordered to western Kansas to check the ravages of the Klowas, Comanches and Arapahoes. He was then a lieutenant-colonel in the regular establishment, but he had an independent command in the field. Custer was a long distance from headquarters and with no means of communication. During months of campaigning he was practically a law unto himself. He crushed the Indians, and, to use his own words, he expected when he returned to civilization to at least have it sald to him: "You have done well." Instead of this verbal patting on the back from his superiors, however, Custer was ordered into arrest on charges of exceeding his authority in the field. It was declared at the time that Custer had ordered a detail of men under a non-commissioned officer to go out from camp and bring back some men who having secured some liquor, were having a jollification at a distance, on the prairie. It was charged that he gave the sergeant certain orders which were carried out, and they were of a nature to anger the authorities. Despite Custer's magnificent career in the civil war, this taking of the law into his own hands was not condoned, and he was sentenced by a court martial to two years' suspension from rank, pay and command. The army execution most pathetic in detaili and surroundings, and yet which was wholly justifiable apparently by the circumstances, was the shooting of Private C. B. Henry, by order of Lieut. Greely, in the far north. Greely's party was starving to death. Its condition was getting more terrible each day. A few shrimps and a little edible moss was all that the explorers could get to sustain life. Some of the men were already dead from starvation. Henry was detected on several occasions stealing more than his share of food. He was warned three times, and his offense was condoned. The other members of the party saw Henry gaining in strength day by day, while they weakened with starvation. Then once more he was detected stealing food. Greely wrote out an order of execution, loaded three rifles, two with ball, and one with blank cartridge, and gave the weapons with the death warrant, to three men. An hour later, from far over the ice floe came the reports of three rifles. Henry was dead. After the rescue the report of the execution was sent to Washington. One of the shortest orders ever issued from the war department was the answer: "No court of inquiry necessary. R. C. Drum, adjutant general." When the second sergeant in charge of recruits at Fort Myer, Virginia, called the revellle roll one day, at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, he dwelt momentarily on the last name in the list, the name of a man now dead. The recruit who answered, "Here," on that morning, as a private in the ranks, was an elderly man, a West Point graduate, an ex-United States engineer officer, and an ex-United States paymaster. He is dead, I believe, and he shall be nameless here, for he lived down his past and fought for his country in an attempt to redeem his career. I have said that he shall be nameless, but I will call him Williams. It is hard to define just what was passing in Williams' mind while the sergeant in the gray light of the Virginia morning was running J OSCEOLR, CHIEF OF THE SEMINOLES through his roll call. It was his first attendance at military duty in 18 years. It was the first time that he had stood in ranks to answer his name in almost 30 years. The last time that he said "Here," he was in the area of the old barracks at West Point, when as a gray-clad cadet, standing side by side with his chum and classmate, Frederick D. Grant, he had listened to the patterning call of names by the cadet first sergeant. He had attended revelle as an officer of engineers in the United States army, and later, after resignation from the service of this country, as an officer high in the service of Japan, where he won medals and honor for bravery. Williams' next glimpse of the service was as a paymaster in the army of the United States, a position to which Gen. Grant had appointed him after his return from the far east. Then came the temptation, then the fall, and Williams was cashiered from the service of his country. Eighteen years of repentance and upright life followed, and now at the age of 54, by special permission of the war department, and by special request of old-time classmates and friends, Williams, one time colonel, had enlisted in the service as a private, with the firmly expressed determination to wipe out by good service, the one act which disgraced his past. It took all of Private Williams' fortitude to stand without flinching, the changes in his life which the change in his rank entailed. When Williams was a paymaster his was the easy-going life of a staff officer. Stationed more than nine-tenths of the time in the great cities, he lived a life of luxury and ease. REF OF THE SEMINOLES During Williams' career as a paymaster, the troops were paid every 60 days, and the sum of his actual duties comprised possibly four or five short railroad trips, or at worst, a few stage trips, taking up about five days of every two months. He was "Williams" to all his equals and superiors in rank, and "Major" to all his juniors, and he was an honored guest at every army social affair. Private Williams, Third cavalry, Fort Myer, Va., met the major of his squadron. The major and he walked post together at West Point. They may have been the most intimate friends. in the army it is possible that they messed together. Private Williams looked at his major, his right went to his cap in the salute which every inferior must pay to his superior in rank. The salute is returned formally, and Private Williams and the major have passed each other as if they never met before, and had never heard of each other. Private Williams, in attending stable call, groomed his horse under the eye of a second lieutenant who was unborn when Williams wore the shoulder straps of an engineer officer. It may be that the stripping soldier, meanly inclined, some day may have spoken harshly to the veteran. By going back into the ranks for the express purpose of doing what he could to redeem his past, Williams showed that he was one of the kind who will suffer and make no sign. It is possible that the man grooming his steed on Williams' right or left may have been some veteran soldier who at one time served under his command. There probably Private Williams did not look in vain for sympathy and help Private Williams' club life of former years, his short hours, and his luxurious living as a staff officer gave place to a routine which included rising at six o'clock, breakfast of hash, coffee and hard bread at 6:30, and drill and fatigue work for the rest of the day. There was wood sawing, rubbish raking and ditch digging for Private Williams, and it may be that some of this work was done by Private Williams within full range of the windows of his major's quarters, where his mental toil was seen by women with whom in the dead years he danced or dined. For 18 years Williams' career in civil life had been above reproach. He had stood much when, in certain places, the history of his wrong-doing leaked out, but the hardest struggle of his life was to come. His squadron went to the Philippine islands, and there, under the eyes of scores of his old army chums, Private Williams worked to win on the field of battle the credit which would restore him to that place in man's ranks from which a court martial of his fellows once deposed him --- RECIPES OF VALUE WORTHY OF PLACE IN HOUSE- KEEPER'S COOKBOOK. Indian Chutney Makes Delicious Sauce for Meat or Fish—Fig Biscuit—Spanish Beans—Soup to Be Served in Cups. Indian Chutney.—Use eight ounces of sour apples, pared and cored, eight ounces of tomatoes, eight ounces of salt, eight ounces of brown sugar, eight ounces of stoned raisins, four ounces of cayenne pepper, four ounces of powdered ginger, two ounces of garlic, two ounces of shalots, three quarts of vinegar, one quart of lemon juice. Chop the apples in small square pieces and add to them the other ingredient's. Mix the whole together, and put in a well-covered jar. Keep this in a warm place and stir every day for a month, taking care to put on the lid after this operation; strain, but do not squeeze it dry; store it away in clean jars or bottles for use, and the liquor will serve as an excellent sauce for meat or fish. Fig Biscuit—Cream three-fourths of a cup of sugar and half a cup of butter, adding a well beaten egg or two egg yolks. Sift half a teaspoonful of salt, two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and one cup of flour and stir into the other mixture. Add more sifted flour till still enough to roll out on a well-foured board. Roll out half at a time, enough to cover the bottoms of one or two well-greased square or oblong tins to the thickness of three-eighths of an inch, not more. Place a layer of fig paste (mine' was fig marmalate spread on a platter and dried in the sun), all over the dough and cover with another layer of dough. So proceed till dough and paste are used up. Sift a little sugar on top and bake in a rather moderate oven. When done let it stand ten or 15 minutes before cutting into oblongs and removing from pan. They will keep some time if locked up, as Marion Harland said of her gingersnaps. Spanish Beans—Select the small, dark, red beans. Look over three cupfuls, wash and put on stove, well covered with cold water. Bring to a boil and boil steadily for an hour; now drain the water from them and pour on more, boiling hot. Put in a thick slice of salt pork. In an hour add two cups of tomato, salt, one onion, chopped, and a large red pepper. If you cannot get peppers, use the prepared chili powder. Cook five or six hours. Soup to Serve in Cups.—The best soup to serve in cups is one that has a fine flavor. It must be hot, seasoned and nourishing. A bit of lemon improves bouillon. For potage des gourmets, a highly praised soup, use chicken stock clarified with chopped beef, reduced, thickened very slightly with arrowroot, garnished with call's head and fresh mushrooms, 'en jallenne, and chicken quenelles; add very little sherry. Beef a la Mode: Take a thick piece of beef off the shoulder; insert one inch apart pieces of salt pork about one inch in thickness; fry on both sides in olive oil, add one onion, a small piece of garlic; then add one can of tomatoes, half cup of dried mushrooms in two waters; drain the first water so as to clean them; use the second water with the gravy. This makes an excellent gravy for macaroni and cheese by boiling the macaroni in salt water; then drain, take a layer of macaroni and a layer of cheese and a layer of the gravy; repeat until finished. Cranberry Ple. Nearly everybody cooks cranberries before making them into a pie, but we like this recipe much better: Chop fine one cup of cranberries, add a cup of sugar and the yolks of three eggs; stir together and bake with only one crust. When the pie is done, spread over the top the beaten whites of the eggs (flavored with one teaspoon of lemon and one tablespoon of sugar). Set in the oven for a few minutes until the frosting is of a delicate straw color. Gingerbread Pudding. Fill a baking dish half full of apples cut in thick slices, scatter over them a little sugar, salt and cinnamon and add one-half cup of water. Make the gingerbread of one-half cup of molasses, one-half cup of sugar, one-quarter cup of butter, one cup of boiling water, one teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon each of ginger and cinnamon, flour to make a thin mixture. Pour over the apple and bake. Cider Sauce Mix together two tablespoonfuls of butter. one tablespoonful of flour in a hot saucepan. Then add a cupul each of the following: Brown sugar, boiled cider and boiling water. Mix well, let simmer for a few minutes and serve hot. In Cooking. Cakes, bread, etc., which have been baked, should be turned out of the tins as soon as they are removed from the oven and placed bottom upturned on a sieve. This will prevent them from becoming heavy. To Make Cookies Crisp. When making snaps or cookies, if the dish in which dough is mixed is kept in cold water while cookies are being rolled out, it will save adding more flour, thus making them short and crisp instead of hard and tough.

The marriage of Mr. John Dodson of Chicago to Miss Sallie Rawles of this city at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Ramles, 519 N. Wichita street, on Tuesday evening, January 18th, 1910, was one of the pleasant surprises to the people of this city.

DEAM ABSTRACT NORTH-WEST CORNER OF THE COURT HOUSE Bonded Abstractors A GRAND MEMORIAL The Members of the Pleasant Green Baptist Courch Pay Tribute to the Memor Sunday afternoon; Pleasant Green Baptist Church was crowded with the membets and old acquaintances of the late Rev. Butler Harper, to hold a memorial service in honor of the founder of Pleasant Green Rev. Harper the founder and the gospel father of many of her members, was born a slave in Madison county, Virginia June 15th 1811 and ordained a minister of the at the age of twenty five. He was imprisoned five times for preaching the gospel to his fellow slaves; but, like the Apostles Peter and Paul, and many of his contemporaries the law of man and the enemies of the labors of Christ may prohibit them from preaching, but no law of man potent enough to crush the germ spiritual of life which gave rise to that hidden fire in their breast In his actions he declared that "They may keep me from preaching, but the powers on earth and the infernal region combined could not prevent me from praying. In his case, as in the case of many others, prayer was not only the key that unlocks the gate of heaven, but also opens the prison doors and sets the prisoners free. Realizing that "No man can serve two masters," in 1859 he purchased his freedom and in '63 he came to this state, then known as the "Home of the Free" where he labored earnesty and faithfully organizing and building church In '81 he moved to Kansas, and there he labored as a missionary Twelve churches in that state will tell to generations yet unborn the estimable value of this man of God. No monument can be erected by those who love him that will stand as that monument he labored so earnestly to build. He like Price, Payne, and Sturm and Douglas, building his own monumentum while on the earth, and it shall stand more endurable than brass. After sixty-nine years of ministerial service in the vine-yard of his Master he died in a good old age and was gathered as the "Father of the Faithful" unto his people, being 84 years 9 mos of age. He leaves a brother, Mr. Frank Washington, ot Union street and a sister, a daughter a, beloved wife and a boet of warm friends to mourn his departure. He was a faithful husband, a loving father a true an humble servent of God. He is gone, but shall never be forgotten. He rests from his labor, but his works shall live after him. The church was nicely decorated with potted plants and cut flowers, the pulpit neatly draped. On the wall in the rear of the rostrum was the picture of Rev. Harper. The members of the church and friends of the family deserve much credit for the beautiful church decorations. Revs. N. Haley and S. Cox delivered the memorial address Rev. D. S. Orner conducted the devotional exercises. Mirs Laura H. Haley presided at the organ; and the choir rendered choice selections. A liberal collection was raised for Mrs. Harper, who is engaged in missionary work. FOR RENT: Nice room to rent to the right parties. Enquire W. M. Dent, 1053 N Main Some Singular Wills One of the most singular wills ever recorded was that of a British sailor who requested his executors to give his wife a shilling to buy hazelnuts, as she had always preferred cracking them to mending his stockings. Ms. subtle, however, was the sarcasm of a will proved in 1830, in which a wife was left $2,500, but was only to enjoy it after her death in order that "s. may be buried suitably as my wife."

Now that a grocer in Belfast who has been doing business for more than 40 years has decided to close out his stock and retire, it will be interesting to know whether he still has in his store any goods that he bought when he first went into business. The Argentine ant, newly arrived at Oakland, Cal., and well settled in Louisiana, near New Orleans, is said to be the least in size but the most pugnacious and destructive of the family. It is small business for $c$ future great country like Argentina to send out such emigrants. It is no organ of monopolists but an agricultural paper which declares that the high price of meat is dead, not to any trust, but to the demands of young married women, who, dreading the hackneyed jokes about the culinary attempts of novices, have taken to serving their husbands with steaks, "which anybody can cook." from the Orosi (Cal.) Offer we learn the interesting fact that "Ed Morell, who broke into the county jail in 1894, has gone to Millwood to recuperate, having been pardoned after serving 14 years in prison. Morell received a patent on a life's saving suit, invented while in prison, on which he hopes to make a sum of money." Mr. Morell appears to be a peculiar and original sort of person. His future career will be watched with interest LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finns' book—Ladies' Pictorial. MAKES KNOTTY POINT IN LAW. Owners of Property Have Right to For bid Flight of Airships. A law framed thousands of years ago by the ancient Romans, and the only one bearing on the subject, may have to be amended or wholly nullified before airships go shooting about through space at their own sweet will. This important fact was brought out at a meeting of aeronauts in London. At present nobody has the right to fly across occupied land. The world is governed by the ancient Roman law, "Usque ad Coelum." It means that every landowner has a right to the air above his head as far up as he chooses to go, and can get an injunction to restrain anyone from flying through it. So far nobody has attempted to put the law in force. It would be most uncomfortable, not to say disastrous, for a farmer suddenly to emerge from his barn or smokehouse and pepper one's airship with bullets. The fact that the aeronaut from his lofty perch could not be expected to see the "No Trespass" sign might not prove a mitigating circumstance with the rural magistrate. Bobby's Unfortunate Delay. He was five years old. On this particular day mother had dressed him with unusual care and was very much displeased to have him come in with clothing dirty and torn. She had so often told him he must take his own part in the boys' scraps—fight, should the occasion demand it. This he would not do. And now she intended to punish him. Bob became very indignant and sald: "Well, mamma, I just told the boy I wasn't ready to fight, and when I got ready he was settin' on me."—Deliciar. At the End of the Day By ERNEST JULIAN NA tee in tne, ee ne nae a. ge Os ‘was heated within by a range in full activity, and without, by the unob- scured June sun. Before the open door, Frances stood at a long board froning. Under her deft hands damp embroidery, lace and frills bloomed out in-snowy crispness. She was fron- ing a dress for Fanny, who must have it to wear toa party that night. Upon the clothes rack hung two much- itrimmed petticoats which were to go with it. Frances had to admit that it took a great deal of hard work, as well as planning and sacrifice, fo keep her daughter well dressed and in the best set when her means were so lim- ited. ' Frances wore a little percale dress of black and white. She looked little more than a girl herself, with her curl- ing hair and moist, flushed face. Yet she was 38 and she felt 83 sometimes, and this happened to be one of the times. AN day yesterday she had sewed, without ceasing, for Fanny; and_to- day she was ironing. She had always hated to iron, It seemed a kind of un- deserved penance that she must al- ways be doing the things she did not like to do. i < She had not wanted to marry Tom Keene; but her father had made her, because he thought Tom Keene would be able to make a great deal of money. She was young and she thought her father knew best, so she gave up Mau- rice Hall, whom-she loved, and took her father’s choice. Her marriage had turned out badly. ‘Tom had got into bad ways, had taken to drink and had finally been killed be- cause he didn’t know enough to drive a horse properly. When that happened, Frances took her little daughter Fanny and went home to her father. Three years later her father died, leaving her the little house they lived in and just enough money to support it. As Fanny grew into girlhood, Frances turned over more of their slender means to her daughter. Girls needed so much and wanted so much more than they needed. Fanny was pretty and popu- lar; she was always being asked about and always going. She had the nor- mal girl's fondness for fun and activ- ity. Frances sewed and planned and economized in order to supply her daughter with pretty clothes. As for herself, what did it matter what she Wore? No one noticed her. She tried to find her happiness in Fanny's. Yet sometiiaes when she was tired and, consequently, a trifle morbid, it came to her that Fanny had a good deal of Tom's selfishness in her make-up. ‘The iron having cooled over that last frill, she carried it back to the range to replace it with a hot one. While her back was turned came a sudden gush of voices and young laughter— Fanny's voice and Fanny's laughter— intermingled with deep masculine tones. Frances turned, just as her danghter, radiant in her pink gingham frock and wide hat, ran up the steps. “We nearly pounded the front door down, mamma,” she complained gay- ly, “and you never heard. You must be getting deaf. I’m going over to the Ormistons to play a game of tennis: and Ora wants me to stay to lunch, So don't look for me back till you see me.” She emiled into her mother's tired face. Frances’ color, due mainly to the heat, had faded, and beside Fan- ny’s sparkling girlishness she looked old and worn. She felt her inad- equacy and her eyes went piteously from her daughter to her daughter’s companion—a young man with keen eyes and a browa skin. It was her old lover, Maurice Hall, lately returned from a long sojourn in the mining country, where it was said he had made some money. He gave her grave greeting, to which she responded coldly. It came to her that there was something laugh- ably incongruous in the fact that “Maurice should be her daughter's ad- mirer. Yet he was not an unsuitable one. He had not changed as she had. He had hung on to his youth, some- how, while she looked faded and tired and old. Fanny was hurrying him off and Frances resolutely turned her at- tention to her ironing. But as he went down the walk she saw him stoop and take a pansy from her little pansy bed. Of course he did not remember, but ‘once, tong ago, he had picked a pansy from that same bed and twisted it in her hair. He had cared very much for her then, she thought. He had ceased to care, now; but the woman had not. Frances’ strength seemed suddenly to have deserted her and she had to sit down before she could finish her ironing. When at last the elaborate dress of embroider. and lace , was hung upon the rack beside the petti- coats it was lunch time, but she was too tired and hot to eat. She was by- Fearn CRE PY.

But she says they have some at Gregory’s that ate just as pretty, though a trifle more expensive, of course.” As her mother did not answer she picked up the hand mirror and exam- ined her face critically. “I declare, if Tbaven't got a new lot of freckles | since morning—right across the bridge |ot my nose! How provoking!” She gave a prolonged sigh. “What are we going to have for tea, mamma, and when are we going to have it? I'm as hungry as a bear, Heigh-ho! We had a dandy luncheon at Ora’s—tce cream and most heavenly salad! But Mr. Hall wouldn't stay. He sald he had urgent husiness down town. Oh, it's nice to have money lke the Orm- fstons have. I don’t see why we haven't any. Some one, way back, must have bungled dreadfully—either father or grandfather.” Frances winced. As she turned her face away tears came with a rush. She could not speak. Fanny, having freed her mind, applied cold cream to her nose and drifted off downstairs, whence came presently the .merry jangling of the piano. When an hour later Frances went down to get tea she found that a girl friend had come in and that Fanny had invited her to stay. “You can stay just as well as not, Edna. I don’t know what we shall have. T never do know. Mamma al- ways manages that.” “Your mother is a dear, Fan,” re- plied the girl. ‘She is perfectly lovely to all your friends. But do you know, I often wonder if, when she looks on at us having our good times, she isn't | lonely?" “Oh, perhaps, but she has had her day,” returned Fanny, carelessly. Frances heard with a pang, Yes, she had had her day, and a very unsatis- factory day it had been. When tea ae ready she called the girls and they ate heartily. She herself could swallow no more than a bit of bread and a cup of tea. “You don't look well,” Edna suggest- ed, kindly. “Don’t you find the heat very enervating?” “I do, indeed,” Frances answered. “I never remember it to have set in so early as this season.” “And you can remember a good way back, can’t you, mamma?" inquired Fanny, mischievously. “Just twice as far as you can, my dear.” After tea Edna went home to get ready for the party and Fanny flew upstairs for the same purpose. Twice she called her mother to perform little | services for her. She grumbled a little because her collar wouldn't pin straight, and because some of the hooks had been flattened under the fron, But at last she was dressed and set off for the party, a picture of youth and freshness and loveliness. Frances,from the veranda, watched her go down the street; then she dropped upon the steps, in her old girl- ish attitude, her elbows on her knees and her chin between her palms. ‘The moon rose presently. It was a beauti- {ul, sweet-smelling, soothing time, and as Frances sat there she became calm, almost at peace with herself and all her difficult affairs. She had had her day. She had lived her youth! Why rebel? The street was quiet and presently when footsteps sounded they had al- most a startling effect upon the still- ness, Francos listened. Nearer and nearer they came, turned in at her walk, stopped at her steps. She looked up dazedly into the face of the man who stood before her. “Good evening, Frances,” he said, cheerfully. He sat down beside her, removed his hat and rumpled up his uair. Frances struggled to speak. When at last she did these words came fn a frigid tone: “Fanny fsn’t here.” It was not what she meant to say, but it was the thing that was first in her mind, and in her nervousness she gave it expresssion. He received the remark calmly. “{ know. Gone to the Lotts’ party. ‘Too young an affair for you and me, Frances, though we aren’t so old, either. Do you know what I thought to-day as I saw you froning in that fur- nace of a kitchen?” His voice had the determination of a desperate purpose. “If thought that life might have been very different for you if you had in- trusted it to me 20 years ago.” ‘It wasn't my fault," poor Frances gasped out miserably. Father made me do as I did.” He turned on her sternly. “If he did, why in heaven's name do Lingerie Hats CG |e ee || ae i en oor aN na a ay ae ee Yee ee oP f oe ae ae £) le ke S Sai + Mie ee i : Be ie Se el sys a ‘ , 9 a ss a { > ae | ye Pfs eee ie pha fs. oy SEN Ye cer a ON ee Ce ee ei es | f caer Ne i Se io ie ee .. oe wats: \ eH” \ . a.

Since val lace invaded the realm of millinery a few seasons ago as a material of which hats are made the “lingerie hat,” as it is called, has become a staple, just as felt or velvet are, and have been for generations. Each sea- son now sees the introduction of new developments in lace hats, These lingerie hats are for winter and sum- mer alike, just as the pretty frocks are of mull or batiste or light wash silks, trimmed with val lace. One sees them trimmed with fur and feath- ers, or with velvet or silk flowers for winter, and decorated with distinctly summer flowers for wear in the hot- test weather. The lace is washable and lives many seasons when used in millinery.

E Edges of val lace from one and vae half to two inches wide, and all-over patterns, are used in the greatest number of models.

The hearts are cut about five inches at their broadest part and are covered inside and out with a plain color of silk or satin, The edge of each heart, outside, is covered with a narrow dou- ble quilling of the same color, The beg part is made from two strips of flowered ribbon, joined by a plain colored ribbon to match the heart. This band is first made by Joining the edges with fine overcast. ing. It is then sewed to the hearts to make a full puffed bag. The bag does not reach all the way round the heart, but a wide opening is left at the top and the bag drawn close with narrow ribbons, run through small rings to work like pulleys. At one corner of the outer heart up near the top is placed a rosette of ribbon to match the hangers, which are sewed to the corners of the heart at each side. ‘These bags are prettiest in laven- der, blue or pink, hearts and plain stripes and hangers with flowered rib- bon in the puff to harmonize with plain tones. For more serviceable ef. fects the hearts can be of brown or green velvet with corn-colored and brown bags, or green and an ivy leaf silk on a dull rose ground. Making Nursery Toilet a Treat.

Although the survey of the past year's anti-tuberculosis work shows that much has been done, the reports from all parts of the country indicate that this year the amount of money to be expended, and the actual number of patients that will be treated will be more than double that of the past year. For instance, special appropriations have been made in the various municipalities for next year's anti-tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,500. In addition to these appropriations over $4,000,000 has been set aside by the different state legislatures for the campaign against tuberculosis this year. Besides these sums, a large number of the present existing institutions and associations are planning enlargements of their work, and new organizations are being formed daily.

In the states of Para and the Amazonas and the federal territory of Acre there are near the water's edge 10,000,000 rubber-bearing trees of the Hevea variety. These trees if properly tapped will live indefinitely and steadily increase their yield. The state of Para is considerably larger than Texas, and much of it will grow excellent cotton.

It goes a long way toward helping in the digestive process, and that is absolutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that Grape-Nuts food is not only nourishing but is a great appetizer. Even children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the food to make a weak stomach strong and create an appetite for dinner. "I am 57 years old," writes a Tenn. grandmother, "and have had a weak stomach from childhood. By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree of health, but never found anything to equal Grape-Nuts as a standby. "When I have no appetite for breakfast and just eat to keep up my strength, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with good rich milk and when dinner comes I am hungry. While if I go without any breakfast I never feel like eating dinner. Grape-Nuts for breakfast seems to make a healthy appetite for dinner. "My 13-months-old grandson had been very sick with stomach trouble during the past summer, and finally we put him on Grape-Nuts. Now he is growing plump and well. When asked if he wants his nurse or Grape-Nuts, he brightens up and points to the cupboard. He was no trouble to wean at all—thanks to Grape-Nuts."

WAS A SENSATION IN AVIATION Aviation Field, Los Angeles, Cal.-Louis Paulhan, in his Farnan bi-plane, made the most remarkable cross-country flight in history. On the wings of a wind that other aviators hesitated long to face, the little Frenchman rode from Aviation Field to "Lucky" Baldwin's ranch, 23 miles away, circled the old Santa Anita track and bucked his way to his tent. In all he covered an estimated distance of $47\frac{1}{2}$ miles in 1 hour, 2 minutes 42 2-5 seconds. He went down with the wind in 30 minutes and came back against it in 33 minutes. When he climbed out of his car he said that his motor was as cool as when he started and that he could do the trip over again at once. In sheer beauty and in contempt of danger, the flight rivals that seen on any of the aviation fields of the Old World. The only test approaching is in this country was that made by one of the Wrights last fall, flying with an army officer from Washington to Alexandria. Others Fail to Return. Bleriot, Lathem, Farman and Cody have made flights nearly as long, perhaps, but they have not come back. Cody flew 40 miles at Aldershot in 63 minutes last fall. Farman took a 20-mile trip to spend a day shooting with a friend, but he landed at one end of his journey. Cortlandt F. Bishop, president of the Aero club of America, said that he did not know of any flight equal to Paulhan's. It is probable that the grand aviation prize of $10,000 will go to Paulhan. Paulhan maintained an altitude of from 1,000 to 2,000 feet on his way over the valley. His highest point was 2,130 feet, as indicated by the instruments in his car. Under him, speeding over country roads, were automobiles, motor cycles and men on horseback trying to keep near the machine in the event that Paulhan should fall or have to descend. Mrs. Paulhan was in an automobile praying and crying. When Paulhan reached the grand stand on his return the crowd broke through the barriers. The aviator was lifted up and borne across the field. His countrymen kissed him and wept with joy. AFTER KANSAS PACKERS. Jackson Brings Suit Against Armours and Swifts for Combination With Produce Men. Topeka, Kan—Attorney General Jackson began a suit before Judge True of the district court of Kansas City, Kansas, against Armours and Swifts, the packers and their agents in Kansas. The suit is brought under the Kansas law which provides a penalty of $100 a day for corporations which are members of combinations. It is alleged that Armours and Swifts are members of the Kansas City Produce Exchange, and are therefore liable. The suit is a civil one and Attorney General Jackson says that it follows the indictment of the packers in Missouri on similar grounds. PLAN TO INVESTIGATE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT Attorney General of Missouri Will Call All Neighbor States' Attorneys Together. Jefferson City, Mo.—Attorney General Major announced that he soon will call a conference of the attorneys general of Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas to discuss the high prices of meat, and, if possible, induce them to unite in a concerted action against the so-called meat trust. The conference will be held in either Kansas City or St. Louis, as soon as a satisfactory date can be determined. Mr. Majors' office is now compiling data upon its recent investigation as to the causes of the high price of meat, and the attorney general has announced that he will bring action against the alleged trust as soon as these reports are completed. Walsh to Leavenworth. Chicago.—John R. Walsh, 72 years old, who began his career as a news boy and later controlled millions in banks, railroads, newspapers and coal fields, left for the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, to begin a five-year sentence for misapplying the funds of the Chicago National bank, of which he had been president.

Recent advices from Canada, our next door neighbour, the neighbourly country across the boundary line, are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of taking up and settling upon the vacant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies are selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would be low, as the lands produce wonderfully, and at these higher figures there is a large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand settlers of last year, followed about sixty thousand of the previous year, and for several years the number has been running into these large figures. There must be a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase, "they are satisfied." Nothing attracts people more than the success of others, and the news of this reaching other thousands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this case is always satisfactory. The splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high value, and it is worth every dollar asked for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever increasing demand for grain, there comes the ever increasing demand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent in a position to supply it. Land that costs, say fifteen dollars an acre, produces on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produce $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The $7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceivable contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it is readily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of the previous year. Canadian Government Agencies at different points in the Union are always ready to give information regarding the free homestead lands, ready to advise the settler as to the districts which would suit him best.

"I'll have some steak," he said, coming in late for dinner, "and some squash, and some—got some baked potatoes, fine, brown, baked potatoes?" "Baked potatoes are all over," said the girl. He leaned back in his chair and gazed at her quizzically. "Baked potatoes all over, are they?" he repeated. "All over what?" "With," she replied, simply.—Youth's Companion.

BEMEDIAL LEGISLATION URGED Government's Chief Forester Declares That People's Rights Can Only Be Saved by Prompt Action at Coming Congressional Session. Washington, Oct. 3.—Unequivocally asserting that a monopoly now is in process of formation whose object is to obtain possession of the water power sites of the country, Gifford Pinchot, chief of the bureau of forestry, who returned from an extended inspection in the west declared that remedial legislation must be enacted at the coming session of congress if this great natural resource is to be preserved to the people. The problem of how best to prevent the nation's water power sites from being gobbled up by such combinations, Mr. Pinchot predicted, will be one of the biggest issues before the next session of congress. The alleged trust is now in the formative stage, Mr. Pinchot declared, and prompt action on the part of congress is necessary to throttle it. Another big problem which will confront congress will be disposition of vast areas of coal lands in the west, principally in Alaska. It is important that congress should take prompt action on this important matter, Mr. Pinchot said, for the protection of the country's fuels supply and also to prevent a monopoly in that product. Any doubt that may have existed as to whether Mr. Pinchot would continue to advocate the policies for which he has fought so hard was set at rest by him. As a result of his western tour he is as fully determined as ever to continue his policies regarding the conservation of the country's natural resources and the great national forest reserves. He asserted that President Taft is thoroughly imbued with the conservation movement, and declared that the people are now more completely aroused over the matter than ever. President Taft, Mr. Pinchot said, has expressed himself in favor of a conservation commission and added that he (Pinchot) was also in accord with that suggestion. After declaring that "there is a water power trust certainly in- the process of formation" Mr. Pinchot added: "In my judgment, the tendency to consolidation which is now running through all industrial enterprises, will necessarily in the end, lead to the consolidation of the water power interests exactly as it has to consolidation of steel and oil interests. There has got to be legislation on this water power business. President Taft has indicated his intention of asking congress for legislation governing, as I understand it, the disposal of water power sites on the public domain; so that the whole water power question will naturally be taken up before congress. ...e question is, are we going to give these power sites in perpetuity? That is a question with which congress will have to deal." "Is it possible to head off this so-called trust?" Mr. Pinchot was asked, "The government cannot probably prevent formation of such a monopoly," he replied, "but it can control it. I regard this matter as one of the most important questions with which congress will have to deal." Killed by Fall Down Stairs. Garden City, Kan., Oct. 3.—W. D.

CENSUS AGENTS TO BE EXAMINED NOVEMBER 3 Bureau Will Employ From 1,600 to 1,800 Special Men Beginning January 1. Washington, Oct. 3.—Census Director E. Dana Durand announces November 3 next as the date for making a practical test of the qualifications of applicants for appointment as special agents for the collection of the thirteenth census statistics of manufactures, mines and quarries. Blank applications may be obtained now by writing the bureau of the census. No applications which are received after the close of business October 25 will be considered. In a circular of instructions relative to the subject, approved by Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, the director states that about January 1, 1910, the bureau will employ from 1,600 to 1,800 special agents. As far as possible it is desired to obtain for this work persons who have had college or university courses in statistics or economics, and persons who have had service in the accounting department of some manufacturing or other business establishments. If the applicant's statements as to business training and experience and education are satisfactory, and the application is complete in every respect, a card will be mailed to the applicant advising him when and where to appear to complete the prescribed practical test in filling out a schedule such as is required in the actual work of a special agent. HALLEY'S COMET TO COME CLOSE Astronomer Seagrave Says Earth Will be Swept by Star Dust Next May. Province, R. L., Oct. 3.—Frank A. Seagrave, the Province astronomer, whose calculations relative to Halley's comet have attracted world-wide attention, announces that the correction of a slight error in his calculations has developed the discovery that May 19, 1910, the comet will reach the same plane as the earth in his orbit. It is thereby determined that the tail of the comet will sweep across this plane instead of clearing it. The earth and comet will meet on the same plane, but not on the same path. There will be a distance at the nearest point of 13,000,000 miles between the two. Mr. Seagrave said the earth would not be endangered, but that it will be swept by "star dust," similar to the display of June 30, 1861, when the tail of the comet of 1861 caused apprehension among the superstitious shortly after the beginning of the Civil war.

BABY KIDNAPED BY A HURRICANE CARRIED FROM HOME WHEN SIX YEARS OLD TO FARM OF CHILDLESS COUPLE. ATTER CONCEAL HIS IDENTITY Quarrel with Supposed Parents Brings to Light Story of His Adoption "Caroline Kid" Now Seek Des Moines 'la." "Tna Cyclone Fid" they are now styling Charles H. Bennett of Melbourne, La. It isn't because "he is there with the wallop," as the spiritual souls of the prize put in, but because he was kidnapped by a cyclone when he was too young to have developed the western instinct for the cyclone cellar. Bennett has just finished a search for his relatives, and in his success has come the unfolding of the story. The hero of the unique event was born on a farm at Leon, La., a few miles north of the state line. The region was, as now, in the vicinity of the cyclone belt, and strong winds frequently threatened to lift the roof of the Bennett homestead. One August afternoon 18 years ago, when Bennett was only 6 years old, there developed suddenly a wind storm of eros proportions. The little boy, who had been playing in a field near the house, sought to run under cover, but a deluge of wind caught him in its grip and made him leave his feet in a jiffy. And then away he went clear over the fences that had been, sometimes being relling along the ground, at other times lifted up into the heart of the maelstrom. His mother, who had seen him knocked off his feet, tried to pursue him, but the tail of the cyclone struck her down, so dazing her that she knew little or nothing for several hours. Meanwhile the youngster was easier prey for the winds. Once he was dropped in the middle of the road. With what little strength he had left, he strove to regain his feet and make for shelter. In his bewildered and breathless state, he had no chance at all against the rapidly moving cyclone. He was picked up again and carried into the distance. Late that evening Mr. and Mrs. James Hudson of Harrison county, Mo., decided that the cyclone had left their neighborhood and that it would be safe to venture out of doors for an inspection of their property. Only a few yards from their threshold they came across a bundle of rags. It was such a soiled-looking mass that they thought it must have been unenterthed from the bed of a stream or from a mud hole. FIGHTS BIG SNAKE IN MIDAIR WITH DYNAMITE WORKMAN HAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE WHILE SUSPENDED OVER DEEP CHASM. Trenton, N. J.—John Hutchinson, a blaster at the workhouse quarries along the Delaware river, had a mid-er encounter with a big pilot snake that resulted in the suspension of all 囚 Jerry work for the remainder of the day. A hundred quarryman watched the fight, unable to give assistance. Hutchinson had been lowered over the side of the quarry and was suspended about a hundred feet from the top and 12 feet from the bottom of the hole when his attention was attracted by a peculiar gliding movement on the rope above him. First he thought the rope was giving way, but a moment later, he saw that the movement was that of a large pilot snake, which had slid on to the rope from a projecting erase, and was leisurely making its way fn to its direction. Escape was impossible and Hutchinson's danger was increased by the fact that he was carrying his hand a stick of dynamite and a small drill. He noted not drop the dynamite for fear of the consequences and it was impossible for him to put up a fight with it in his hand. He managed to shove the dynamite in a pocket and then They were much astonished when they discovered that the object was a small boy, and still more astonished when they felt his heart beat. So they carried him into their kitchen washed the soil of the road and fields off him, gave him a little skimming and put him to bed. He awoke the next morning and cried for his mother. He made the mistake of thinking that Mrs. Hudson was she, a fact which pleased the woman so mightily that then and there she decided to make no effort to learn the identity of the newcomer, but to adopt him. Eventually the Hudson family moved to Louisiana, and there the foster child grew up.
