Knights of Tabor Doing Great Work The Order of Twelve Making Great Preperation For Their Next Annual Grand Session Which Will Meet In Omaha, Neb. Second Tuesday In July, 1910. HAS MADE RAPID PROGRESS WELTH YEAR Knights of Doing G The Order of Twelve Preperation For The Grand Session W In Omaha, Neb. In July HAS MADE RA All over the states of Kansas and Nebraska, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, the Tents of the Maids and Pages of Honor of the Order of Twelve, are electing their officers for the ensuring year and beginning active preparations looking forward to attend the next annual session of the Grand Tempie and Tabernacle, which will convene in Omaha, Neb. on the 2nd. Tuesdao in July 1910. No order among the colored people, anywhere, is conducted in a more business-like, systematical orderly and uniform manner than the Order of Twelve It is purely and solely a Negro organization, and from top to bottom, evety officer, every member and item of its business is in the hands of Negroes. The order of Twelue furnishes a splendid example of the possibilities of the Negro from the side of business organization. The Order of Twelv has the largest membership of any Negro Society to day-pays more annual endowment claims—own the first home ever secured by a Negro Society in the West—pay more annual sick dues—owns more cash money on hand than any other Negro Secret Society known today. The orgin, the principles and the teachings makes this, indeed, a grand society—it is a society that recog-izes merit and fitness. The persistent grumbler and office seeker finds little encouragement in this order - by experience the members have learned that leaders are born of God and are not made and in the selection of leaders and officers, merit and fitness is the thing of which counts. This is demonstrated in the long, honorable, patient and faithful career of Rev, Frank Wilson, Cheif Grand Mentor of this Grand Jurisdiction. Rev. Wilson has spent his life- is a business organization, in so far as the welfare, progress and property of the Order is concerned and the members keeps this uppermost in their minds -which is the secr't of the Order's great success. To be a member of the Order of Twelve, every man, or woman and child should consider an honor. Originated, instituted, managed and controlled in all its departments by members of the Negro race, the Order of Twelve is distained yet to prove an eternal blessing and great benefactor to the Negro race. It is not only making history for its members — but is each day building a monument for the entire Negro race that will last as long as time and will prepuate the zeal, the patience the self-sacrifice and gentle leadership of the honest men and women who today are leading the Order from triumph to victory and for hope to prosperity. May the Order of Twelue live long — and do much good for the Negro race and its members. Democrats For Stubbs Governor Stubbs, in his efforts to rally to his supyort the political malcontents of all parties and factions in Kansas, seems to have brought down upon his head an avalanche of embarrasment. Enlisting in the ranks of the governor's retainers are some men who might well be tpared, W. H. Byan, manager of the late Colonel Harris's campaign for governor, is one of them. Mr. Ryan in a recent open letter advises the Democrats of Kansas to vote for Stubbs on the ground that he, Stubbs represents Democratic policies. Governor Stubbs still claims to be a Republican, although he is off the reservation politically. In some respects his personat ambition has led him to espouse ideas that are too strong even for the "insurgents," who have demonstrated their ability and willingness to swallow almost anything. But when a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and campaign manager comes out sqarely for Stubbs because he represents Democrat policies it makes pretty strong dose for those of his followers who still maintain that they are Republicans. Mr, Ryan protests that he is not "sore," yet he deplores the fact that the Democrats of Kans have a ticket in the field. He can not understand why Democrats do not frankly accept Stubbs and his potoourri of political nostrums, especially as there is not ghost of a show for the Democratic state ticket next fall anyway. With Ryan and his friends radidly "insurgent" and fighting for Stubbs it will be impossible to reunite the Democratic party and secure effective organization between the pay of the nominating primaries and the election. In the meantime the friends of Wagstaff are beaming. From all parts of the state come encouraging news from regular Republicans who assert that the Stubbs machine is falling to pieces and that many of its warmest and most active workers two years ago now interested only in strengthening the Republican party in the state and bringing it back to its old position of honor and accomplishment. It is the ambition of every loyal Republican in the state to make the word Republican mean something in Kas beside rampant demagogy and surrender to boss domination. HOME GETTING To much emphasis too much encouragement cannot be placed on the acquiring of colored people everywhere — and especially in Wichita — of goyd, comfortabls homes. The words of such men as Chas. L. Davidson, Postmaster W. C. Bdwards and Hon J. M. Knapp as expressed by them at the laying of the corner-stone Sunday in praising the colored people of this city in getting homes for themselves and their societies is of more than passing importance. It is an indication to the colored people that the world has its eyes on them and the times and opportunities are demanding of them something tangible. With the great opportunities now open there is a little or no excuse left any colored man for not having a home. The colored people of Wichita are indeed, to be congratulated upon their efforts along the line of homes. It is most a note-worthy fact when the mayor of a city the size of Wichita—nearly 65000 will from the platform declare that "No City in Kansas or in the west has a more law-abiding, peacable and industrious class of colored citizens than has Wichita—and the cause of this is that no city in Kansas or in the west has larger per cent of colored people who own and are buying homes and are tax -payers than we have in Wichita" Coming from the chief executive of our city these words mean much to our people here. Then, again, the words of the Postmaster Edwards has much in them to spur our people forward in buying and getting homes Postmaster Edwards said in his speech "We have no clashes of the races in Wichita—only the most friendly and cordial relations exists because the colored people of our city -like other citizens- are home owners and pride themselves in maintaining the higher standard of citizenship on the same basis that other citizens maintain it.!! As if to add approval to these two splen did testimonials of the value of a home, Hon J, M. Knapp said in the course of his remarks" I congratulate myself in living in a city where we have such a splendid type of law-abiding, thrifty colored citizens who are buying homes and making good citizens All these words show the importance not only in WicEita but everywhere of the colored people owning homes. While our people here have done and are doing remarkable well in this line they must not stop but should continue. OMAHA NEB.

NO.2 FIGHT DISFRANCHISEMLNT Oklahoma Socialists Stand for Negroes Against Amendment Guthrie, Ok.— The Socialist party of Oklahoma at a meeting here decided to fight the proposed "grandfather clause" amendment eo the constitution which the Democrats hope to disfranchise the negroes in the state. It is conservely estimated that the Socialist can muster 30,000 votes against the proposition, which with the Republican vote, will defeat the propositiod. The Socialists took steps tonight to invoke the referendum upon senate bill 126, the bill under which the grandfather clause is to be initiated, and senare concurrent resolution number 31, which authorized the initiation of a grandfather clause amendment as the method of defeating disfranchising legislation. The Socialists take the position that they stand for the working people and that 95 per cent of the negroes belong to the working classes. SAD NEWS News comes to us from Denver that on last Monday night the noted, efficient, eminent lawyer Hon. J. H. Stuart passed to the great beyond. Through his death Denver has lost one among the strongest men. Hon.J.H. Staurt was unsurpassed in his ability as a lawyer. His friends were many among both colored and white.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 124 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. There is a disposition in some quarters to show objection to the concrete block as a building material on the ground that it is monotonous. Objection also is sometimes made to it as being damp. It is safe to say that there is no material used in building construction that cannot be wrongly used. There is intemperance in building just as there is in the use of food and drink. The concrete block industry has grown to marvelous proportions, and we see houses made of these blocks in nearly every town and village of the land. But because poor blocks were made by men who had no knowledge of the business, and have shown dampness, they have caused a wrong impression in the mind of many people. The concrete block made correctly and with a due regard for artistic effect is the best and most economical material to employ in the construction of a house. Now, as to the design, there are many possibilities. Blocks are produced now that cannot be told from marble except by an expert. The business has grown to a science and on that basis work is being produced that challenges the admiration of all beholders. But by many the rock face block is preferred and these are being made in a variety of effects that THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN. do away with the sameness of the wall, that formerly was objected to. In the east the block has been used in a way that seems most economical and sensible. In the making of the block the face plate that usually molds the outer surface is left out and a rough block is cast with the usual hollow space to keep out the cold and moisture. Then the wall is laid up with these blocks after they are thoroughly cured and a finish coat of plaster is given the outer surface. This wall has the effect of a mono- POR.

The house we show here is one in which the concrete block has been employed to good purpose. It is a two-story house 24 feet wide by 30 feet long. The wide pillars of the porch add the idea of strength and permanency to the design. These pillars are built of the same kind of blocks that are used in the main structure. The blocks are used up to the level of the second floor, from which point the house is constructed of frame work with a plastered exterior. A pleasing effect is produced by paneling the surface. A house like this ought to withstand the exigencies of any climate and always be warm in winter and cool in summer. --- There is a good-sized living room 13 by 14 feet in dimensions, which is provided with a fireplace. Back of this is the dining-room, which is 12 by 13 feet, and the kitchen is conveniently arranged. On the second floor are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The economy of building a house like this rests in the fact that the CL. BED RM. 15'0"X9'0" CL. BED RM. 13'0"X9'0" BATH 5'9"X43" DN. CL.

If the blocks are made of a rich mixture of cement, clean sand and gravel or crushed stone and allowed to thoroughly cure, being sprinkled five or six times a day while they are curing. THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN a block should be produced of sufficient density to assure absence of dampness for all time. The trouble that has resulted from buildings of this character usually has been because the material used in the blocks was not sufficiently mixed. This comes from ignorance. A thorough mixing of the materials and the use of plenty of clean water are the essential factors in block making. KEEPING ONE'S HAT FIRM Devices Intended to Accomplish This and Also Do Away with the Obnoxious Hatpin. Before woman makes too strenuous a fight for suffrage she should invent hats that will stay put. Hatpins are a nuisance and ruinous to hats, and not all their beauty makes up for it. To avoid this nuisance there are numerous substitutes for hatpins, none of which is especially successful. Now inventors are making a fight against one of the hatpin evils—tearing of the crown. One of these is a small funnel, fastened with a screw into the hat, one at each side. They are adjusted to the proper angle and the pin is run through at same spot each time. This not only saves the hat, but insures against unbecoming tilts. Another invention is a hat firm in a windstorm. It has a low carved front of tortoise shell, gold or silver, and curved sides filled with perforations. These stand in coronet shape from flat teeth that are pushed back into the coiffure. When the comb is adjusted it forms a becoming ornament, yet the hatpins can be slipped through the perforations, reefing hat firmly and preventing it from flattening hair. Blouse and Guimpe The kimono blouse is the great favorite; it is of chiffon, volle de nion or pongee. Materials, plain and embroidered, are trimmed with just a touch of Irish lace beading or Bretonne embroidery stitch. This is done on a frame in a darning stitch, the design formed by squares of color. The guimpe of plain sheer tulle or net is more frequently used than that of tucks. The yokes are extremely shallow, and "chair," or flesh tint, is the usual color. SIX FACE DEATH FOR TWO MONTHS CREW OF WRECKED STEAMER FIGHT ICY GALES UNTIL RESCUED Buffeted in Small Boats and Canoes by Terrific Storms in Pacific—Frost Bitten and Nearly Starved—Brought in by Revenue Cutter. Seattle, Wash.—Startling tales of suffering and hardship are told by the four sailors of the dauntless crew of six men who left the wreck of the Farallon in Cook inlet and in a small rowboat undertook the desperate task of rowing to procure relief for their companions. They were brought into Seward on the revenue cutter Tahoma. The cutter for almost three weeks had been searching for them. The Tahoma also brings word that the two remaining members of the boat's crew are alive and safe. The four men on the Tahoma are: Gus Swanson, second mate of the wrecked Farallon; Charles Peterson, seaman; Otto Nelson, seaman; Albert Bailey, passenger, en route to Kodiak. The other two members are Charles Bourne, a resident of Afagnak, who is now at Kaffiar bay, and Capt. Wedding, master of the launch Sea Wolf, who remained at Kodiak to take charge of his craft. The little party of six left the wreck at 11 o'clock on the morning of January 7, with a light but fresh wind blowing north by northwest. This increased during the night to a gale that compelled the men to beach the boat at Ursus cove, where they camped until morning. At daylight, with a light northeast wind and in a heavy snowstorm, they left Ursus cove, only to have the wind suddenly veer around to the northwest and fast reach the proportions of a gale. At every interval that could be snatched from the toil at the oars the men were compelled to keep bailing out the boat. With the heavy sea that was running the little craft was fast becoming a mass of ice and sinking under the weight. All six men were drenched through and through with the spray, which in turn froze until they resembled animal icebergs. At sundown the boat reached a little shelter off Cape Douglas, but at the same time ran into a heavy pack of ice, which soon had the boat in a sinking condition. They managed to reach dry land at Cape Douglas, but not until the boat had sunk under them with nearly all the provisions it carried. The water, fortunately, was shallow, and by wading to their armpits they contrived to reach the shore ice. By ```markdown ``` Fight for Life in Ice Waves. this time it had grown dark and a howling gale was blowing. Swanson, according to the others, lost all courage and threw himself down on the ice, crying that he was freezing. Nelson was snow blind and only able to grope his way about. At daylight the party managed to reach the cliff above the beach, and there a makeshift tent was rigged up and a fire kindled. All were terribly frostbitten. The wind again increased to a blizzard, and, huddled together, lying flat on the frozen ground, they passed the next 38 hours. Reaching Kaguak the party found an old skiff which they dug out of the snow and in this they made their way to Kaffar bay, living the entire time since leaving the trapper's camp on whale oil and dried fish flour. At Kaffiar bay they managed to kill a seal and this furnished the first semblance of fresh meat they had since leaving the Farallon. Here they decided to make an attempt to cross the straits and in a 16-foot boat, they started. Bourne was left with the natives. They made the start at six o'clock at night. The weather was calm and the sea smooth and again a gale sprung up and they just managed to make land at Cape Ugat, their boat being wrecked.

But two of them especially Should mind their P's and Q's. A deal of trouble in this world And much that goes awry Could be prevented easily By these two U and L" -Pauline Frances Camp. Dependableness. What a sterling quality a dependable character is and how necessary that it should be early a part of every child's training. The boy and girl who follow up their promises, see that they do what has been promised, will not lose that commendable habit when they attain manhood and womanhood. We are too apt to excuse a broken promise in children, and they are apt to salve the conscience by saying: "I forgot." In business and professional life, forgetting is a fatal thing very often. We notice that the person who forgets much, never forgets when his vacation comes, or when it is time to stop work for the day, so we naturally infer that we remember the things most vital to us, and should train the mind to remember. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he becomes a man he will not depart from it," is a truly much-proven proverb. The hours one spends in waiting for the delinquent in keeping appointments could be used most profitably in other ways. It is a most exasperating habit, this one of being undependable. Be slow to promise, but prompt to fulfill it after it is once given, might be a good motto for all of us to learn and practice. There is an old saying something like this: "Let nothing but death hinder you from keeping an appointment to dine, and in that case, send an excuse by your executioner." "Example speaks louder than precept," and the child who sees the father and mother slightly regard a promise, will learn to use his own pleasure in regard to doing or not doing the thing promised. The Bible tells us that Abraham's faithfulness counted unto him for righteousness, so we may see what an important factor it is, and has been in the lives of the good, the true and the great. HERE is no unbelief. Whoever plants the seed beneath the sod And watts to see it push away the clod, He trusts in God." Veal Gives Variety. Veal is cheaper in the spring than at other seasons, and is welcome more as a change from beef and pork than for its real food value. It may appear as a roast, in pie, in cutlets, croquettes or chops. In combination with chicken in a salad it lessens the cost and is a fair substitute for chicken. At its best, veal has not a high value as food, but if put on the market too young, is liable to provoke serious gastric disturbances and is a dangerous food. The flesh of any young animal does not keep fresh as long as that of older ones, so veal should be eaten soon after killing and dressing. Good veal may be known by its pinkish color and white fat; when the flesh lacks color and has a bluish look it has been taken from an animal too young to kill for food, of if proper age (six weeks), it was bled before killing. Veal. As veal lacks in fat, it should be always be supplied in cooking. Good salt pork improves veal and a roast should have a few thin slices laid over the top, which will season and baste the meat as it cooks. As veal has little flavor, a well seasoned stuffing adds to the value of a roast. When cooked in a casserole the vegetables supply the needed flavor. Veal must be well cooked to be healthful, and therefore should never be served rare. The sweetbreads of calves are in such demand as delicacies that they are too expensive for every day fare. Veal Birds. Use thin slices of veal from the loin. Pound to one-fourth of an inch in thickness, trim into pieces two and one-half by four inches. Chop the trimmings fine with one inch fat salt pork for each bird. Add half as much cracked crumbs as meat; season with thyme, pepper, salt, lemon juice and onion. Moisten the mixture with one egg and a little water; spread on each piece of meat nearly to the edge; roll up tightly and tie or fasten with wooden toothpicks, or skewers. Dredge with salt, pepper and flour, fry slowly in hot butter until brown, then half cover with cream and slimmer until tender. Remove the skewers and serve on toast; pour the cream around the toast and serve hot. ATTENTION to detain, a sense of values, good judgment in buying, an ability to adapt means to need the least loss are points in a good business man Should they be any less the qualities of the housekeeper?" Taploca aa a Dessert. This starchy food comes to us in several forms, and may be used in place of gelatine as a thickening for different dishes at much less expense. The flake taploca should be soaked several hours; the pearl may be soaked or not; while the fine granules are used without soaking. A very nice dessert which is well liked, is prepared by soaking one-half cupful of taploca, then cooking in one pint of boiling water until transparent. Add a little salt and sugar if desired. Pour this around cored pared apples placed in a dish, have the centers of the apple filled with nuts, raisins or jelly. Bake until the apples are tender, serve warm with cream and sugar. A variation of this recipe may be made by using strawberries, sliced peaches, bananas or oranges served cold. Fruit juice may be added to the taploca, then pour into molds and garnish when serving with the fresh fruit. For taploca sponge: Heat one pint of fruit juice and water in a double boiler, and stir in one-fourth of a cup of taploca. Cook 15 minutes, or until clear. Add one-half cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Fold in the beaten whites of two eggs; let the mixture cook a moment or two longer; then turn into molds to set. Serve with a soft custard made with the yolks of the eggs, a cup of milk, sweetened and flavored with almond. HEN you get into a tight place, and everything in, you might seem as if you couldn't hold on a minute longer, never give up, for that's the place and time that the tide'll turn."—Hartley Beescher Stowe. Taploca PuddIng Scald one pint of milk and shake gently into it one-fourth of a cup of fine taplaoca, stirring all the time. When it begins to thicken, add one teaspoonful of butter, one egg, beaten, one-fourth of a cup of sugar. Flavor with nutmeg. Pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a very moderate oven for about 30 minutes, or until firm like a custard. Serve hot or cold. Egg may be omitted and raisins, dates or other fruits may be added. Peach Canane Bake a simple white cake in a sheet, cut in rounds with a biscuit cutter, or if fancy shape is wanted, use any style of cutter. Place a half of a peach, hollow side up, on the canape, and fill the center with chopped browned nuts. Dip the piece of cake into a peach strup, first to soften it and add flavor, then garnish with a large spoonful of sweetened whipped cream which has been flavored with almond. Such a dish is termed fancy, as the form of serving makes it seem complex. Veal Curry with Bice Stew two pounds of neck slowly until tender. Add a small onion sliced and cook with the meat. Cut into small pieces and thicken the gravy with a tablespoonful of flour to each cupful of liquid. Stir in three tablespoonfuls of curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Serve in a border of hot boiled rice. Nellie Maxwell. Childish Imagination William Lyon Phelps, Yale's brilliant professor of English literature, said at a luncheon: It is imagination that makes great art—imagination as powerful as a child's. And what is so powerful as the imagination of children? A little girl I knew was playing with her doll when the bell rang. "That is visitors," said her mother. "Take your doll and run upstairs, dear." "Oh, mamma, don't speak so loud," exclaimed the little girl. "I try as hard as ever I can to prevent her from finding out she is only a doll!" A Unique Tumble. A strange accident happened at New York recently, where John Kauffmann, a window cleaner, fell five stories and landed on the back of a man who was passing up the street. Both of Kauffmann's legs and arms were broken, but had he not struck the human buffer he would have flattened out dead on the pavement. The other man got a big shock but was scarcely hurt.

GETTING HIS IDIOMS MIXED German-American May Have Meant Well, But His Directions Were Somewhat Complex. Passengers on a New York street car were treated to some choice examples of German-American English when a stout gentleman with a robust voice started to relate to a friend his adventures of the previous night. "Twelf o'glock it wass when he come alretty," said the stout man, "und on de toor rap." "But," said his companion, "it was only about ten o'clock when he started over there." "Vell, twelf o'glock it wass when he comes alretty und on teo tor rap. Und I tell him de dogtor he vant, he shouldn't go de frondt tay oudt, de side vay roundt und de pack vay oop, und chust as blain as dot. Und den de plame flou, he rap yet und vake eferypody de house in. Den I put myself my pants on und maype I don't pall him oudt. I call him a chumbp und a lopster—" "No," laughed his friend, "you surely didn't call him that." "Call him dot?" snorted the fat man. "Say, I call him eeverything I can lay my hands on." Hopeless. "Your store is no good, sir! I asked for lace curtains last week, and I couldn't get 'em." "Indeed?" "Yes. And I asked for silk socks yesterday, and I couldn't get 'em." "That's strange." "And to-day I asked for credit, and can't even get that. Is this a regular store, or what?" Getting in Deep "Father," said little Rollo, "what is the fourth dimension?"

ABANDONED IT "I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. "I had been troubled some time with my heart, which did not feel right. This trouble grew worse steadily. "Sometimes it would beat fast and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a hill, it gave me a severe pain. "I had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that perhaps it might be caused by coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. The change came quickly. I am now glad to say that I am entirely well of the heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Postum. "A number of my friends have abandoned the old fashioned coffee and have taken up with Postum, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled long enough, according to directions, it is a very delicious beverage. We have never used any of the old fashioned coffee since Postum was first started in our house." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

Ss = ao — suet 2 HOSS“ With such examples as these in high places, ft 1s not strange that a general indit- ference to legal rights and possessions pre- valled. Next to cattle-raising, cattle-stealing was the chief industry. The cowboy proper was not concerned in such work. He was like- ly to be a clean-handed, straightforward, even {f reckless, individual, honest according to his lights, ‘True, loyalty to his employer might render him a trifle indifferent as to brands and marks when strays mixed with the herd, but ft was the employer and not the cowboy who profited by such laxity. The cowboy was a retainer who would fight for his ranch, would dle for tt when circumstances seemed to re- quire such a sacrifice, and the increase of the ranch herd by any means short of actual raid and theft was a custom which bore no relation to disrepute, But individually the cowboy was lkely to be the soul of honor and good nature, troublesome only on holidays when he was moved to ride into the nearest settlement, drink up all the whisky he could buy, and then, with stx-shooter drawn, go careering up and down the streets, shooting in random diree- tions, explaining meantime with noisy and repetitious adjectives that he was a bad man— a very bad man from very far up the creek. ‘The Panhandle was full of bad men in the early nineties. Most of them had graduated from other schools of crime and found here a last resort, Some of them—a good many of them—had obtained official positions and were outlaws and deputies by turns, or worked con- Junctively as both, As a rule they were in one way or another associated with a gang. Local authorities, even when conscientious, ‘were poorly equipped to cope with such an ele- ment, and {t was for Company B Ranger Force, consisting of eight men with quarters at Ama- xillo, Capt. W. J. McDonald commanding, to police this vast wilderness, and to capture and convert, or otherwise tame, its undesirable cittzens. Soon after McDonald's a>pointment he was notified of a marauding band that across in Hutchinson county, were committing the usual crimes, ‘They had burned the hay belonging to aranchman on Turkey creek—several hun- dred tons in quantity—they had cut his wire fences; they had killed cows for their calves, Dutchered beef cattle, cut out brands—in a Word, they had conducted the busines of cat- tle stealing and general depredation on a large Scale, ‘Taking a portion of his force, Capt. MeDon- ald went over to investigate. There seemed to be a good deal of mystery concerning the identity of the offenders; but a mystery of that sort does not stand a very good chance when tt ts operated upon by a man with eyes like those of Capt. Bill and with a nose and a pair of ears of his pecullar pattern. nf a short time he hiad identified one member of the band in a young man prominently connected in that sec- tion. This young fellow—a dupe, no doubt, of Professional cow thieves, whose glittering repu- tstion as bad men had dazzled him—was the son of an able and reputable lawyer, a member of the state legislature, The son, supposed to be a cowboy, had become in reality an outlaw. Capt. McDonald took him in charge one day, questioned him, and secured suffictent evi devee to file a complaint, The prisoner was turned over to the sheriff of Hutchinson coun: {Y, and Capt. Bil pursued bis investigation. He located a buneh of stolen calves, herded in the ‘rakes of the Canadian river, guarded by an- er member of the gang. The calves were f 1 and necked” and their mothers had bes shot as am easy method of getting rid of ‘ioiu. Capt. Bill found the dead cows in a near ‘onyon, and he brought a man who had lost & wuntber of mileh eows and calves to iden- he property. It was no very difficult mat \r; the man declared he knew the calves as {Las his own children. One after another ‘Mc wissing members of the band were brought in, and lodged in jail. The case against them was clear. They were found with the stolen property; some of them did not even attempt to make denial. Their examining trial was held at Plemons, the county seat of Hutchin- son county, and the settlers gathered from far and near for that event. The trial was held in a big barn of a place, and the prisoners were bound over to the district court. The Rangers were preparing to take them to Panhandle City, where there were safer and more commo- dious quarters, when the sheriff—who had al- ready distinguished himself by setting free the prominent young outlaw first captured—ap- peared and demanded the prisoners, on the ground that being sheriff of that county, they could not be removed without his consent. The Ranger captain promptly informed him that sheriff or no sheriff, he had shown his disquall- fications for that office, and that these prison- ers would be taken to more secure quarters than he seemed willing to provide. The offi- cer departed, and presently mustered a crowd, armed with Winchesters. Then he appeared once more before Capt. Bill, produced the law which under proper conditions might have sup- ported him in his demand, and again declared that he would have those prisoners, or that there would be bloodshed and several Ranger funerals. Capt. Bill promptly called his men together. “We are not going to stand any foolishness,” he sald. “If an attempt is made to take these prisoners, cut down any one who takes a hand fn it. Come, let's move on now, and get these men in jail.” The crowd that had gathered expected bat- tle, then and there, but nothing of the kind took place. The sheriff's armed bluff had been catled. Later in the day, he obtained a writ of habeas corpus, but it was not effective for the reason that the men had been committed under bond. At all events it was not effective so long as McDonald and his Rangers were in charge of the jail. It was now evident that conviction of these offenders was not to be expected in that coun- ty. Most of them had official influence of one kind or another. In fact, there appeared to be nobody except those whose property had suf- fered who seemed concerned in bringing these bandits to justice. With such overwhelming evidence McDonald was determined if possible to secure their pun- ishment, and eventually was instrumental in getting their cases distributed and sent to oth- er counties for trial. Even so, they managed to evade the law. Through influence of one kind or another, and the co-operation of offi- cials—former associates, perhaps, in the bust- ness of crime—their cases were one by one dismissed; this in spite of the fact that one of the men confessed and gave direct testt- mony against the others of the gang. Notwithstanding this miscarriage of justice, the general effect of McDonald's vigorous pros- ecution was wholesome. The members of that band either left for remoter territory, or decided to reform. It was strange indeed that McDonald did not “happen to get killed” in those busy days of the early nineties. One of the favorite vows of the “Panhandler” was to shoot Bill McDon- ald on sight. But there was suddenness and vigor about Bill McDonald’s manner and meth- od that was very bad for a vow like that when the moment for {ts execution arrived. Still, there were those who tried to miake good, and one of these, duly assisted, came near being successful. He would have succeeded, no doubt, if he had had time. ‘That man’s name was John Pierce Matthews, which became simply John Pierce after its owner got the drop on a steamboat captain one day in Louisiana and shot him dead. He took his new name with him to the Panhandle, where, in due time he got the drop on another man, somewhere up in the northerp uer of counties, with the same result. This was a good while before he came down to Childress county and got to be sheriff, but there were those who had not forgotten, and among them was Capt. Bill McDonald, then stopping at Wichita Falls. Matthews, or Pierce, as he was called, frequently came down to the Falls for ‘a spree, and on one such visit made application to join a secret society. McDonald was a prom- inent member of that society and Matthews did not get in. This stirred the animosity of ‘Matthews and he began to clean his six-shooter daily and to practice sudden and accurate fir- ing, which he knew would be necessary in case of a show down. Matthews also had another enemy, one Joe Beckham, sheriff of Motley county, an officer of his own kind, who presently got as short as possible in his accounts, absconded, and set out for Indian Territory. Matthews had no right to go outside of his own county after a fugitive, and no business in this matter any way, but he had an {tch for Beckham on his own account, so he picked up another enemy of Beckham, named Cook, a citizen of Motley with an ambition for Beckham's office, and the two came with peaceful attitude and fair words to Quanah where Capt. Bill was then stopping, requesting the loan of a Ranger to go over into the Territory after the defaulting officer. McDonald refused, but said he would send a man as far as the Tefritory line— Ranger authority not extending beyond that border. He did send one Ranger, McClure, who being strongly persuaded, overstepped, at the same instant, his authority and the state line; captured Beckham, whom he lost through @ writ of habeas corpus; fell into a plot devised by Matthews and Cook to get rid of him, and was finally brought back to Quanah by Capt Bill, who drove 100 miles on a bad night to get him out of the mess; after which McClure was a wiser and better Ranger. Beckham, meanwhile, had fallen a victim to remorse, or more likely had been promised immunity, and now hurried over to Quanah and gave himself up again to Ranger McClure —Capt. Bill being absent from Quanah at the time. Beckham asked to be taken to Matador, county seat of Motley, for trial, and begged McClure to see him through Childress, where he expected to be killed by Matthews and Cook. McClure assured Beckham that he would see him hafely to Matador, and they set out by rail for Childress, at which point they would take the stage for the Motley county seat. Matthews was on hand at Childress. He de- manded Beckham of McClure, who refused to deliver his prisoner. If Matthews wanted to commit suicide he began preparing for it, now, in the right way. He gave it out openly that he was going to wander over to Quanah some day and kill Bill McDonald, just as a matter of pastime, and he sent word to the same effect by any of Capt. Bill’s friends that he found going that way. It was in December, 1895, at last that Mat- thews and his pals came down to Quanah for the declared purpose of killing a Ranger cap- tain. It was a cold, dreary day and they vis- ited one saloon after another, getting a supply of courage for the job, and explaining what they were going to do. Then they took to fol- lowing McDonald, always in a group, evidently waiting the proper opportunity, confident enough that McDonald would not take the of- fensive. Finally, however, they pressed him so close that he suddenly turned and told them to quit following him or trouble would ensue. Perhaps it did not seem a good place to do the Jjob—there being no sort of protec: tion; perhaps there was something disquieting in the manner of Capt. Bill's warning. They dropped away, for the time, and McDonald gave the matter no further thought. Men threatening to kill him was an item on every day’s program. it was nearly dusk of that bleak day, and McDonald was in the railway sta- tion, sending an official teleguam to his men at Amarillo, when an old man named Crutcher, whom McDonald knew, came in with the word that Mat- thews wanted to see him and fix up matters without any more trouble. Capt. Bill regarded Crutcher keenly; evidently he was sincere enough. “John says he wants to see you and fix up everything right,” repeated the old man, persuasively. Capt. Bill finished writing his tele- gram and sent {t. Then turning to Old Man Crutcher, he said in his slow, mild way: “Well, that all sounds mighty good to me. I never want any trouble that 1 can help. Come on, let’s go find him.” They left the depot on the side toward the town, and as they did so they saw the sheriff of Hardeman counts, whose name was Dick Coffer, with Matthews and two of the latter's friends, coming to meet them. Sheriff Coffer was a step ahead of Matthews as they crossed the street. Old Man Crutcher in a friendly way put his arm through McDonald's as they advanced. When there were but four or five feet between the groups, all stopped and there was a little silence. Then McDonald said: “well?” ‘And Matthews answered, keeping Coffer still just a trifle in advance: “Well, what is it, Bill?” “{ understand,” he said, “that you have been saying some pretty hard things about me, and that you-all are going to wipe up the earth with me. Is that so?” Matthews edged a trifle nearer to Coffer. “No,” he said, “I didn’t say that, but by God I'll tell you what I did say,” at the same moment pointing his left index finger in McDonald’s face, while his right hand slipped in the direction of his hip pocket. Capt. Bill saw the movement and his own hand dropped into his side over. coat pocket where in winter he carriee & pat® of his armament. Matthews’ practice in draw- {ng for some reason failed to benefit him. His gun seemed to hang a little in the scabbard. A eecond later he had jerked it free, and stepping Dehind Coffer, fired at Capt. Bill over the sher- {ft's right shoulder. But the slight hitch spoiled his aim, perhaps, for the bullet missed, passing through McDonald’s overcoat collar, though the range was so short that the powder burned his ce. fare game could now be considered open. Capt. Bill, with a quick movement that was between skip and a step, got around Coffer and let go two Shots in quick succession at Matthews. Both of MeDonald’s bullets struck within the space of @ Bo-cent piece, just above Matthews’ heart, pene- trated a thick plug of Star Navy, found a heavy notebook behind it, and stopped. ‘With a thought process which may be re garded as cool for such a moment, Capt. Bill re- alized that for some reason he could not kill Matthews by shooting him on that side, and shifted his aim. Matthews, meantime had again dodged behind Coffer, who now dropped flat to the ground where it was quieter. Capt. Bill was bending forward at the time, trying to get a shot around Coffer, and as the latter dropped, Matthews fired, the bullet striking Mo- Donald in the left shoulder, ranging down through his lung to the small of his back, trav- cling two-thirds the length of his body for lodgement. The Ranger was knocked backward but did not fall. Matthews quickly fired again, but Mc- Donald was near enough now to knock the gun aside with his own, and the ball passed through his hat brim. Aiming at Matthews’ other shoul- der, McDonald let go his third shot, and Matthews fell. Meantime the two deputy assassins had opened fire, and one of them had sent two bul- lets through McDonald’s left arm. To these he gave no attention unt{l Matthews dropped. ‘Wheeling now, he started to cock his gun, when he received another ball, this time in his right shoulder, along which it traveled to his neck, thence around the windpipe to the left side. His fingers were paralyzed by this wound and he made an effort to cock his gun with his teeth; put there was no further need, for with the col- lapse of Matthews his co-murderers fled wildly to cover, behind the depot, nearly upsetting a box-car in their hurry. Capt. Bill walked a few steps to the sidewalk. ‘There was a post there, and holding to this he eased himoelf to a sitting position, A man rap up to him. “Cap, how about it?” “Well, 1 think I'm a dead rabbit.” They gathered him up and took him to a drug store, and they took Matthews to a drug store across the street. By and by they carried Capt. Bill home, and a doctor came to hunt for the bullets. “Now, Doc,” the Ranger captain sald when the operation was over, aud the surplus cargo had been removed, “now, I'll get well;” and Rhoda McDonald, his nervy wife, who had arrived on the scene, echoed this belief. “If Bill’ Jess says he'll get well, he'll do 441” she declared, Matthews died in a few days. He was re moved to Childress and died there. Before his death he sent word to McDonald: “You acted the man all through,” was his wes- sage. “I'm only sorry that I can't see you and apologize.” ~Tell him that I'm doing all right,” was the an- swer returned, “and that I hope he'll get well.” ‘The mending of Capt. Bill was a slow process For about two months he was laid up, and then with his wife he sojourned for a time at a sani- tarium, After that, he was up once more, ready and eager for action—apparently as fit as ever; though, in truth, the physical repairing was never quite complete.

The church was crowded, there being close to 300 present when the convention was "duly opened." Once in operation, the convention kept the audience in a laugh till the end. Many requests have already been made to get the convention repeated, It was grand and was worth many times the price of admission.

PINCHOT PLEASED OVER OUTCOME TAKES LEAVE OF FORMER CHIEF AND GOES TO ZURICH. HAS SMILE FOR INTERVIEWER Vienna Promises the Best Reception Yet—Kermit Visits Monte Carlo, Lunches With Miss Carow. Port Maurizio, Italy.—After spending a second day with Mr. Roosevelt, the afternoon being occupied in another long tramp into the mountains, Gifford Pinchot left for Zurich, seemingly in a happy state of mind. He still declined to make, any statement with reference to the result of his conference with the ex-president, but his beaming countenance was as eloquent as words. "Will you say whether you are satisfied with the result of your visit," was asked. But Mr. Pinchot only smiled broadly. Mr. Roosevelt evidently is not greatly exercised over conclusions, which may be drawn in the United States from the announcement made that he had accepted an invitation from the former chief forester to address the national conservation congress this summer, following on the heels of Mr. Pinchot's two days' visit. "My actions are frequently misunderstood, he said in speaking of this matter. Mr. Roosevelt then went on to explain that very naturally his interest in the conservation movement had in no wise been dampened by the trouble which has occurred in that department. He said he would have attended the congress regardless of what had happened during his absence, and that in his address he would not necessarily speak of the past but of the future. Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt dined alone with Miss Carow at the villa, and spent a quiet evening. Kermit, with several friends, took a motor trip along the coast, extending the journey beyond the French frontier to Monte Carlo, where he dined and passed the evening. The police investigation shows that the man Magano, who last night was found prowling about the villa with a letter in his pocket, addressed to Mr. Roosevelt, asking for a position as valet, is a harmless vagabond, having no connection with the anarchists. Ex-Mayor Phelan of San Francisco, who was expected to visit the ex-president, failed to put in an appearance. The business men of Porto Maurizio have seized the occasion of Mr. Roosevelt's presence and the honorary citizenship conferred upon him, to launch a boom for the town, which they hope will soon become the resort of the Italian Riveria, and attract foreign visitors, especially Americans. This afternoon they inaugurated a big scheme to transform the little harbor into a great port to be rechristened "Porto Umberto." They have also planned extensive improvements in the town. Vienna.—Baron Hengelmueller Von Hengervar, Austrian ambassador to the United States, returned here today from Budapest, where he completed arrangements for Mr. Roosevelt's Hungarian trip. The ex-president will break the journey from Vienna to Budapest with a visit to Count Apponyi's county estate near Pressburg, where he will spend Sunday. He will lunch at Arch Duke Joseph's palace at Budapest on Monday, and will visit the state breeding farm on Tuesday, where the finest Arabian horses are raised. He will be the guest of the premier at the ministerial palace at dinner, leaving at midnight for Paris. Hungarians are showing the keenest interest in Mr. Roosevelt's visit and an even more enthusiastic reception is promised than at Vienna. It is expected that the Austrian program will be finally settled at a conference between Ambassador Kerens and Count Von Aehrenthal, the foreign minister, tomorrow. Iowa Wreck Hurts Eleven. Des Molnes, Ia.—Eleven were hurt, one fatally, when an enbine and coach, taking the place of a motor train, crashed into a freight train at Garrison, just east of Vinton. The substitute motor train was east bound, running from Iowa Falls to Vinton, and met the freight engine head-on. All Three Will Attend. Kansas City, Mo.—With Former President Roosevelt, President Taft and Gifford Pinchot, deposed chief forester of the department of agriculture, as speakers, the National Conservation Congress will convene in Convention Hall here early in September. This announcement was made here today by J. B. White, chairman of the executive committee of the congress, following a meeting of the Kansas City Commercial club. REHEARING IN TRUST CASES Reargument of Tobacco Trust and Standard Oil Matter Must Take Place Before Supreme Court. Washington, D. C. — The supreme court of the United States has reissigned for argument the cases of the United States against the American Tobacco and the Standard Oil company. The reargument, of. these. cases comes as the direct result of the death of Justice Brewer. The jurist died just a few days after the Standard Oil case had been argued. As Justice Moody was unable to participate in the consideration of these cases only seven justices were left to give a decision. How the court was divided in regard to the decision is as much a mystery as ever. The fact that the corpiration tax cases were not set for reargument is taken to mean that a decision will be announced in regard to the constitutionality of the law within a short time. FOURTEEN KILLED BY BLAST Heavy Charge of Dynamite Exploded prematurely Hurling the Bodies High in the Air. Novite, Texas.—Fourteen men were instantly killed and another injured by the permature explosion of a heavy charge of dynamite at a construction camp on the Texco extension of the Santa Fe railroad. The accident occurred shortly after the lunch hour at Suderman & Dolzen Construction Camp No. 5, where possibly 100 men are doing railroad construction work. The men were at work in a rocky cut and a heavy charge of dynamite had been arranged to be set off by electric batteries from the camp proper, which is some distance from the cut. Through a mistake in signals a heavy blasting charge was set off while 15 or 20 men were in the cut, and these were hurled skyward by the force of the explosion. ARKANSAS PEARL WORTH $20,000 It Weighs 187 Grains is Pink and Round—Was Found on White River. New York, N. Y.—An American pearl weighing 187 grains has arrived in the Maiden Lane district from the White river fisheries in Arkansas. It is almost round, and is reported by New York dealers to be the largest perfect fresh water peal ever seen in this city. It is of a beautiful pink color, and is valued at $20,000 by Maurice Brower, the dealer, who purchased it. The pearl was first sold to a western dealer, who brought it here. THE PULLMAN RATES ATTACKED Interstate Commerce Commission Assumes Jurisdiction and Orders Rates Lowered. Washington, D. C.—America's traveling public is likely to rise up and call the interstate commerce commission blessed when it reads the newspaper. The reason for such action is that the commission has unequivocally taken jurisdiction of Pullman company rates and has emphasized that assumption of authority by reducing the company's rates in a half dozen notable instances.

C.—The department of agriculture believes that it has found cures for the two most serious enemies of the fruit crops that affect the Westren states.

The department is prepared to furnish information to farmers and fruit growers on application.

THE LATEST MARATHON. POOR HOUSE ANDY WASHINGTON STAR ROOSEVELT TO VISIT KANSAS ROOSEVELT TO VISIT KANSAS HE CABLES AN ACCEPTANCE OF GOV. STUBBS' INVITATION. Will Assist in Dedication of John Brown Battlefield at Osawatomie in August. Topeka, Kansas—"Stubbs—Topeka—accept—Roosevelt." It was in this brief, decisive message that Col. Theodore Roosevelt told Gov. Stubbs that he would stop in Kansas this summer and assist in the dedication of the John Brown battle field at Osawatomie. The word came by cable from Porto Maurizio, Italy. Gov. Stubbs Sent Invitation. Ever since Colonel Roosevelt returned to civilization Gov. Stubbus has been trying to devise some plan whereby he might induce the former president to visit Kansas this summer. Later whea he learned that Roosevelt intended to go to Wyoming the governor saw his opportunity to strike. So he sent this cablegram to Mr. Roosevelt at Porto Maurizio: I voice the wish of all the people of Kansas in asking you to give us a date this summer, preferably in August, to dedicate John Brown's battlefield at Osawatomie, as state park, under auspices of the Woman's Relief Corps. Roosevelt to Set Date. "The anniversary of the Osawatomie battle field is August 29," Gov. Stubbs said. "And I assume from Mr. Roosevelt's cable that he will be in Kansas on that date. However, the fixing of the date is entirely up to him. It doesn't make much difference when he comes just so long as we know that he is coming. That's what counts." The battle of Osawatomie was fought August 29, 1856. The Women's Relief Corps bought the ground upon which the battle was fought and gave it to the state. The last legislature authorized the governor to accept the gift and the fifty-fourth anniversary of the battle was set as the day for its dedication. The Famous Scout Cables From Africa That He Has Roped the King of Beasts. New York, N. Y.—"Buffalo Jones," who has been roping wild animals in Africa for months, sent this cable from Nairobi: "Lion roping successful. Everybody well." That means that the first wild lion ever laosed in the history of the world has been tied up as easily as Texas cowmen rope steers. Jones had roped almost every kind of animal in Africa, but he had not before tackled the lions. A Swift Alaska Team Nome, Alaska.—Col. Sir, Charles Ramsey's dog team, driven by John Johnson, won the famous all-Alaska sweepstakes over the 408-mile course from Nome to Candle.

Philadelphia, Pa. — Following the refusal of the striking carmen to accept terms of settlement offered by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, the directors of the company practically withdrew their offer to take back all the men. Amarillo, Texas.—With a bank account of $250,000, William M. Gold, who had worked for several years on a farm for his board, is dead. Gold, up to the time of his death, was believed to be poor. Topeka, Kansas.—What is perhaps the top price for live chickens was paid by C. B. Weis of Coffeyville, to S. L. Brown, the other day. There were 175 chickens in the flock and Weis paid $575 for them, over $3 per chicken. NO DR. COOK RECORDS FOUND No Evidence on Mount McKinley That Any Man Had Ever Made the Ascent. Fairbanks, Alaska.—The Fairbanks expedition to Mount McKinley, the tallest peak in North America, reached the summit April 3, after a climb of one month from the base. No traces of Dr. Frederick A. Cook's alleged ascent were found. Thomas Lloyd, leader of the expedition, has arrived here. His companions were Daniel Patterson, W. R. Taylor and Charles McGonnigle. All reached the top of the great mountain. The expedition, which left Fairbanks December 15, while the controversy over Doctor Cook's disputed ascent was still raging, was financed by August Peterson and William McPhee of this city. The plan was to go into camp on the mountain as high as possible and, probably about the middle of May, make a dash for the summit. Mount McKinley terminates in twin peaks of equal height, one somewhat rounded and covered with snow, the other composed of bare and wind swept rocks. On the rocky peak the Fairbanks climbers placed an American flag in a monument of stone. The expedition, which is provided with Doctor Cook's maps and book, endeavoring to follow his alleged route but utterly failed to verify any part of his story of an ascent. WICKERSHAM READS THEM OUT The Attorney General Said Republi cans Opposing President's Pro gram Should Leave Party. Chicago, Illinois.—Attorney General George W. Wickersham delivered a defense of the first year of the Taft administration in a speech before the Hamilton club here. He reviewed in detail the accomplishments of the Taft administration, declaring in effect that no other administration could point to a brighter record in the same period. The most interesting part of his speech, however, from a political standpoint, was what he had to say of the insurgents who have combated President Taft's legislative program. The attorney general declares that it is time now for Republicans to choose either for or against the president of the United States and the Republican party, and adds that if they can't make a positive choice it is up to them to retire from the Republican party.

His Test of Republicanism Will Be Support of Measure Now Before Congress. Washington, D. C.—William Howard Taft spoke before the League of Republican clubs of the District of Columbia, not so much as president of the United States, as in his capacity as titular leader of the Republican party. Mr. Taft said he was "glad the Republican party still lives," that he did not want to read any man out of the party, but that "by their deeds they should be known." "Tonight," he said "we are reading nobody out of the party. We want them all in the ranks, and they have the opportunity to establish their claim to Republicanism by that which they shall do in both houses of congress by helping to enact the legislation which is now before them." This utterance was greeted with prolonged cheers. The 500 guests from all parts of the United States, stood up and cheered. The president was in a mood to "talk turkey," but he said he had not come to them to make a "keynote speech." "With all due deference to the distinguished members of the senate and the house who surrounded me, the president continued, "I want to say that I believe this is not exactly the time for speaking except in the two houses of the legislature. This is the time for doing things." "The time has come," said President Taft, "for doing and voting and passing the measures which have been placed before this congress. WILL KEEP WOOD PULP AT HOME The Province of Quebec Will Prohibit Exportation From the Crown Lands. Quebec.—That the province of Quebec will, in the near future, prohibit the exportation of pulp wood cut on the crown lands of the province to the United States, was announced in the legislature by Premier Gouin. The premier said: "We have not spoken of this question in the earlier part of the session because when the session opened a tariff war was threatened between Canada and the United States. Wt have the right to prohibit the exportation of pulp wood by order in council. Within a few days an order will therefore be passed by the council to this effect. Our new laws will be similar to those of Ontario on the subject." ARRESTED BOX CAR ROBBERS Fourteen Switchmen at Kansas City Accused of Stealing From the Company.

Barclay — "I was passing of life and suffered from nervousness and other annoying symptoms, and I can truly say that Lydaia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has proved worth mountains of gold to me as it restored my health and strength. I never forget to tell my friends what Lydaia Pinkham's from nervousness and other annoying symptoms, and I can truly say that LydiaE.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has proved worth mountains of gold to me, as it restored my health and strength. I never forget to tell my friends what LydiaE.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffering women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter."—MRS. CHAS, BARCLAY, R.F.D., Graniteville, Vt. No other medicine for woman's ill has received such wide-spread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Mr. Fatherly's Daughters Are Charming in All Ways, But They Have Strange Ideas as to the Handling of Money. "Strange ideas of finance our children are likely to have," said Mr. Fatherly. "For one thing, they seem to think we are made of money." "If they want anything they think, apparently, that all they have to do is to ask their father for the money. That he might have difficulty in supplying all their wants is something that seems never to occur to them, and they don't understand it when sometimes I have to tell them that there is a kink in the exchequer and that I cannot just then honor their demands. But they have other queer ideas about money. For instance: "We make our two daughters each a weekly allowance of money for their various lesser wants. They spend this money as they go along for many little things, or sometimes they accumulate it until they get enough for some bigger thing that they want, and then they buy that. And then sometimes when the time has come when they want to get this more costly thing they find they haven't accumulated quite enough. They borrow the balance of me. That is to say, they get an advance on their allowance, which they pay back in installments at their convenience. "The home bank lets them take their time about this, and sometimes they are pretty slow. It is hard, uphill work for anybody to repay borrowed money; I guess we all know that. So we never worry the girls about repaying this borrowed money; we let them take their time about it, and we charge them no interest. "Then comes along a week when the home bank is pinched a little and when it would be a help to call some amount on these small loans; which we do, when agreed to by the other party, by deducting a sum from the weekly allowance and crediting the same to the account of the loan as an installment in repayment. We don't actually get in any money by this, you understand, but we have to pay out less, and that in the circumstances may be a help. And now what do you think one of my daughters says to me when I make her this proposition? "She is ready and willing, in fact glad, to let that deduction from her allowance be made this week, to be credited to the account of her loan, but since this money is going to be a help to me she wants to know if I don't think I ought to allow her some interest on it! I have been out this money all this time, but when she pays any of it back she thinks I ought to pay her something for the use of it! Isn't that bewildering? "It is my experience that Mrs. Fatherly is a great economist. She never wastes a penny and she can make a dollar go further than anybody I ever knew; but our daughters, charming girls as they are, have only the haziest notions about finance, and one of these is that money grows in their father's pocket." Acquiring Friends Acquiring friends and keeping them is the surest way to social success, provided each friend is hall marked, so to speak, as being of sterling merit and of the right weight in the social scale. Some people seem born with the knack and right intuition about these most necessary moves, and no matter where they visit will at once slip into the charmed circle from which most newcomers are excluded. When at hotels abroad or at home they always stumble upon the notables, and even royalty traveling incognito will come their way. On all sides they are smiled on and approved. On the other hand, there are many who travel purely for the sake of meeting desirable people, who put up at hotels where royalty is expected and go to all kinds of expense and trouble to dine and wine each new acquaintance, and yet are ever apart. It needs a magic touch to open the portals to friendship and a sympathy that but few really possess. Driven Insane by Remorse. A terrible scene in a cell was described when Mrs. Jane Dupont, a well dressed woman, was charged at a London (Eng.) court with stealing a blouse from a shop in Oxford street, and also with attempting suicide. An inspector said he was called to Mrs. Dupont's cell, and saw her knocking her head against the wall. He found her muff cord tied tightly round her neck, and she was black in the face when he untied the cord, and was bleeding from the back of the head. Another inspector stated that he was called later by the matron and found the woman bleeding slightly from both eyes. He asked her how she came by the injury, and she said, "I feel that I cannot look my friends in the face again. I must destroy my sigh." One Condition. Hortense (the housemaid)—Isn't it a shame that Anna Gould has to go right on supporting Boni de Castellane's parents? Hildegarde (the lady's maid)—Yes, indeed. It's preposterous!

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN TROUBLE "I began to have an itching over my whole body about seven years ago and this settled in my limb, from the knee to the toes. I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there. I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I did not know what to do. I was so sick and had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope. "I had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when I noticed that, after having used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad if people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. I would only recommend them to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs, 1621 Second Ave., New York, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1909."

Recently a lady witness in a court up the state was subjected to a troublesome fire of cross questions, and the lawyer, thinking that some apology was necessary, tried to square himself. "I really hope, madam," said he, "that I don't annoy you with all these questions." "Oh, no," was the prompt reply; "I am accustomed to it." "You don't mean it?" wonderingly returned the lawyer. "Yes," rejoined the lady, "I have a six-year-old boy at home." Hls Face Was Turning Yellow Someone told him that sallowness was caused by an inactive liver.

Andrew Carnegie, apropos of his epigram about the disgrace of dying rich, sald at a dinner in Washington: "Why should any one die rich? There are no pockets in a shroud, and as for the man who'd like to take his money with him, why, even if he managed to do so, it would only melt." No matter what may be the opinion of Mr. Joseph Cannon, no matter if he may be looked upon by some as a czar, and by others as a big warm-hearted man, with many of the instincts that make humanity very bearable, all will admit that he is a man who has been advertised more than any other man in the United States. What he may have to say therefore on any subject, will have weight. Observant, he speaks his mind freely. He was interviewed the other day by the correspondent of a Canadian newspaper. He spoke of his admiration for Canada, and he is quoted in a way that pictures fairly well the personar of the man. The correspondent says he launched out into personal biography, proverbial philosophy, political comment, cynical scorn, broad profanity and sentimental poetry such as one rarely hears in the space of an hour. He discussed the Canadian tariff, and then said: "People say I break the Ten Commandments, all of them. But I don't, at least not often. I did break one of them up in Canada two or three years ago. As I rode from Winnipeg to the Rockies over your great West and saw the finest wheatfields in the world, I thought of Virginia and a lot of our States, and I smashed the Tenth Commandment every hour of the journey. Yes, sir, I coveted my neighbor's land." Coming from a man of the fame of Mr. Canada, these were words that should have some weight with the Americans who may still have doubts of the advantages that are offered to them in Western Canada. A home amongst the wheatfields. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are adopting it. They go to Central Canada, to any one of the three Provinces of Mantoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, or to the Coast Province of British Columbia, take up their homestead of 160 acres, and probably pre-emptor another 160 acres, or it may be they do not care for pioneering twenty or thirty miles from an existing railway, and purchase a farm. Then they settle upon it and, having no clearing away of timber they begin at once to cultivate it, and make money. That they make money and much more than they could possibly make on the high-priced farms they have left, is the evidence of hundreds of thousands. They do not leave civilized life, they but remove from one sphere to another. They have splendid social conditions, churches, schools, rural telephones, splendid roads, railways, convenient just the same as what they left, and what is more, they get much greater returns from their crops, which give abundant yield. The climate is perfect, and it is no wonder that most flattering reports are sent back to their friends in the States, and it is no wonder that Joe Cannon was tempted to speak as he did. He "coveted" his neighbor's land. Rheumatism Is Curable NATURE'S REMEDY (NR tablets) will cure Rheumatism and do it quickly. It so thoroughly cleanses and regulates the kidneys, helps to digest.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription A MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG, SICK WOMEN WELL. For over 40 years this celebrated remedy has been making women's lives happier—healthier—safer. Many thousands of women have testified to its wonderful effect. The "Favorite Prescription" is THE ONE REMEDY that can be depended upon when there is any derangement of the distinctly feminine organism. It purifies, heals, soothes, builds up. THE ONE REMEDY which absolutely contains neither alcohol (which to most Women is rank poison) nor injurious or habit-forming drugs. THE ONE REMEDY which is so perfect in its composition and so good in its curative effects as to warrant its makers in printing its every ingredient, as they do, on its outside wrapper, verifying the same under solemn oath. It is needed when backaches make life miserable—when a sickening, dragging, bearing-down feeling makes work a weary agony—when sick headache, nervous irritability, loss of energy and appetite indicate derangement of the womanly organism. It is a purely vegetable compound, being a glyceric extract from native medicinal roots and can not injure in any condition of the female system.

The indications for a great meeting are encouraging. Rev. E. T. Fishback, pastor of New Hope Baptist Church, has preached some excellent sermons which doubtless will result in much good. Rev. Wm, Turner is also assisting. Rev. G. W. Smith, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, was to have preached Wednesday at night, but the rain storm prevented his being present, though several persons braved the rain and a good meeting was held. The meeting will continue next week, quite a number of persons expressed their desire to be saved Sunday April 17th. at 3:30 p.m. there will be a special effort to deepen the work of grace upon the lost and straying. Dr. M. L. Copeland, the pastor hopes to have the pastors of the churches in the city present at the special service to aid in this great effort.
