YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER GENERAL NEWS Gathered From Many Source TWELTH YEAR Patronize Our Race Enterprises Wichita, Kansas, April 1910 To the readers of the Searchlight: We as a race should patronize our race enterprises for the following reasons; namely: 1st. it gives inspiration so those who come after us and have desires to undertake something of worth the while, it creates in them a rag of hope which is so essential comes success in whatever he undertakes i - i -- if one sees another, succeed in an undertaking he is encouraged to undertake something of an uplited character. 2nd it convinces those who deyry our ability to do things as a race, and on the whole, it is the best and strongest argument we can make in proof of our capability to accomplish things of note. 3rd if we support our race enterprises we can entertain a greater hope of finding something at which our youths can employ their time honorably. The reason some of our young people are so worthless and such a drawback to the progress of the race is, because they find so few opportunities for honorable emplopment among the members of our race: hence many young people grow up educate and waste their talent and good brains lounging around gambing dives and places of vile resort, and thereby bring shame and disgrace upon themselves, their homes, their community and their race. The great need our race is self reliance,unity of action and concentration of efforts. If we will support our papers, our restaurants our barber shops our grocers etc. it is only a matter of time when we will be able to find honorable of employment for our boys and girls as they educate and grow up. This too, can be done without prejudice to any other races will respect and confide in us but the more: therefore, let un unite and endeavor to push to success every honable business which our race is engaged. Its true our race has excelled all other races in progress and achievements who has been placed in similar circumstanees or surounded with similar envirouments yet there room up the ladder of fame if we will all pull togather — stop pul ling back, stop kicking, stop the grumbling but fall in line and help; if you cant pull, push, say hurrah! Show that you are a live wire, not chronic kicker. Yours For the Race NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH Again Out Of Debt The pastor, officers, members and friends of New Hope Baptist Church are rejoicing over the $301,15 which they raised last Sunday and thereby freed the church of all its financial embarrassment. This is the second time this congregation has been able to boase of freedom from debt under its present pastorate. The first was on watch meeting night a year ago when the $1000,00 mortgage was burned. The recent indebtness was incurred by its most excellent entertainment of the State Baptist Convention last fall and the general improvement of the church building both without and within - painting carpeting and the instilling of beautiful electrical lights. Nor is this church only, from a material point of view a thing of beauty but it is so as well in its worship and service. This church has not only met its current expenses but has taken rank with the leading churches of the state in the denominational work both in the district and the state, and continues to occupy a seat of honor through its representative in the Convention of the Western States and Territories and also the great National Baptist Convention. With a devoted ministry, a splendid set of officers, an excellent membership, a faithful an increasing congregation, this church is measuring up opportunities in this growing city and taking its place in the forward movements of the religious thought and life of world. The following is the detailed account of the raisinff of $301.15 last Sunday. O, N. O. Club, Mrs. Ary Tettington Captain $80.61 S. A. P.

M. E. Church in the excellent sermon of the pastor, Rev. J. T. Smith, the sweet singing of its famous choir, and the offerings of its members in the afternoon services, Here is also appreciation for the presnce and help of friends from the Tabernacle Church and any other who were with us during the day. And here is pray on for the common salvation of the race here and everywhere through the churches of God. DOING CHARITY WORK The need of charity work among the colored people by members of our race is very forcibly brought to light by a case of need now being cared for by the ladies of the Mother's Aid Club. It was reported to the club that the mother and children of the colored family in the north part of the city was in dire need. The club investigated this matter and found the report true. The ladies of the club busied themselves and have gathered up clothing, shoes and wearing apparel for the whole family. Such work as this is very commendable and deserves mention. Charity cases as extreme as this one is said to be is a rare thing among our people and the prompt investigation and releif by the Mother's Aid Club speaks wonders for our good women. Much good could be accomplish in this manner by our clubs, churches and lodges everywhere.

Bowren were also present each give a very instructive talk which was well received by all present, a board of thanks was returned to Sir. Lyles and Sir. Rev. Bowren for their encouraging remarks. After the regular business was over the C. P. Pauline Woodfork turned the gavel over to the G. C. P.

Daughter Landium Willis, Q. M. Petona Ballinger V. QM; BETTER INFLUENCES It is with much hope that we note the improvement in the deportment of the young colored boys and girls of our city. The Y. M. C. A. the B. V. P. U's at the various Baptist Churches, and the song service or Christian Endeavor at the A. M. E. Church all of which meets on Sunday in afternoon and evenings are doing a wonderful amount of good in our community. No city in Kansas with the colored population which Wichita has, can boast of its young people giving the police as little or less trouble than do the young people of this city. This speaks volumes for our young people and they should be encouraged. TRIED TO LYNCH CARRIER Because Dover Holmes, a Negro mail carrier in Pine Bluff, Ark. is said to have 'talked back' to a white woman on his route a mob of white ruffins congregated to administer a severe whipping to him. The postmaster heard of the affair and hurried to the mail carrier's rescue and arrived just in time to save trouble. GOOD COMMON SENSE If some women were as anxious about making their own homes happy and pleasant- they would find less time to "butt in" and interfer about other people's homes. Charity begins at home. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE Rev. J. J. Cabble, superintendent of the Topeka District of the Lincoln conference of the M. E.

FOR COUNTY COMMISSINER Elsewhere in this issue Mr, E. M Bear, one of Wichita's successful contractors and buil3ers presents himself as a candidate for nomination as County Commissioner, subject to the Republican primary, August 2nd 1910. Mr. Bear is a thorough business man and has all the qualities to fill this office with credit. He is an out-and-out republican and stands for sound republican principles — and if nominated and elected will serve all the people. In his effort to secure this nomination he earnestly solicits the support of all voters.

Would you invest in more spades, more back lots and go on digging? Or # would you be content with your mil- ; Hon or so and buy a house and a y yacht and some silk pajamas and shirts with monograms embroidered on the sleeves? In short, would you keep on money grubbing and trying to get more gold or would you quit? The overwhelming chances are that you will say you would quit. The del- uging probabilities are that, when the SE time came you would try to get-just “azz “one million more.” The end of the rainbow which marks the nesting place of the fabled pot of gold is always in sight but never quite in reach. Slightly edit- Ing and revising the biblical dictum! “To him who hath” is given an insatiable appetite for more. Glanelug hurriedly up and down the list of Americans of millions, it is difficult to pick out a bare fraction of them who have found that enough was sufficient. Uncle Russell Bage never lost his interest in interest. Aunt Hetty Green still loves to stroke the fur of @ coupon and hear ft purr. William Waldorf Astor was born on a couch upholstered with dainty bonds and beautifully tinted green- backs, and as soon as he was able to toddle he went into the upholstering business on his own account and has been at it ever since, moving to England and mixing up with expen- sive royalty in the meanwhile, but always keeping his eye on the main chance. F. Augustus Heinze, after getting hold of more money than he knew what to do with out fn Montana, came to New York and tried to plant his dollars In productive soil. The cut- ‘worms got it. J. Pierpont Morgan, ane of the money over- lords, generalissimo of finance, is so busy get- ting more that he hasn’t time to talk to those ‘whose vocabulary is limited to less than seven figures. Other instances might be cited in proof of the contention that, generally, the man with millions doesn't quit. But, as sustaining the rule, there are ex- ceptions, and this is the story of one man who quit, Thomas F. Walsh. He had all kinds of money—white brown, green and yellow, but he didn’t become so enamored of it that he couldn't let go. Nei- ther was he so impressed with its desirability that he wanted more. He would rather talk about a one-eyed prospector that he kuew back in the days of Leadville's colicky baby- hood than he would about any business scheme that human ingenuity could devise. He didn’t care to talk about making money. Tkose who know him best assert that he would rather give it away than increase that which he has. One third of July a few years ago Mr. Walsh walked down to the Boston & Maine railroad station at Manchester-by-the-Sea and did some things that left the eyes of the railroad em- ployes hanging out like the old fashioned knockers on the front doors of New England. Mr, Walsh arrived quietly at the station. He “manifested no symptoms of give-upativeness ‘and the employes were unprepared. Digging down into an ample pocket he dragged forth ‘a roll of tens and twenties—real money—and began to skin off the top layers. He handed ‘a bill to each of the men. To-morrow is the fourth of July and I want you boys to have a good time.” was his ex- planation. For a few minutes the Manchester “station crew was utterly useless—pitifully in- competent. It couldn't get its breath. “gay,” whispered a watchman who hap- pened to be of the elect on that auspicious oc- ‘casion, “that roll of yellows that he pulled out was big enough to stall a freight.” ‘Walsh heard about that remark and was so tickled over ft that he got chummy with the watchman and used to walk down and talk with him every day or two. ‘This and other Instances of the generosity of Mr, Walsh should not, however, have a tendency to inject hope into the systems of those who dog the footsteps of the rich and seek loans and contributions. One sure way jot to get money from Walsh js to ask him for it. He has an almost holy horror of the grafter and the person who writes hard luck ales to those who are classed among the ultra wealthy. ‘Once upon a time, when he was Colorado's commissioner at the Paris exposition, Mr. ‘Walsh, inbis side excursions, discovered a king, This particular monarch was Leopold, the gay old party with the severe but ample whiskers who lately ruled over Belgium. “Come over and have a snack at my camp,” remarked Mr. Walsh. At all events that was the substance of what he said. “ll try anything—once,” was the attitude of the monarch with the lilacs. Now tt hap- pened that Mr. Leopold; Rex, had been to a pumber of very fussy banquets. He had been ‘entertained so numerously that terrapin didn’t thrill him any more. He knew all about the various utensils that enter into the operation of conveying food from the plate to the mouth. Never had he been known to reach the ice cream with nothing left but a little harpoon, like George Ade’s banqueter. He didn’t tuck his napkin and responded readily to the rule prohibiting the use of a knife in the holsting of peas or pie. All of this is set forth as proof that Mr. Leopold was no gastronomic novice. But after he had partaken of Mr. Walsh's hos- pitality he had to tack to get to his cab. He was so happy and so satisfied that he didn’t care whether he kept on kinging or not. In a burst of enthusiasm he said he was coming over to America to follow up the Walsh brand of banquet. The morning following the ban- quet it is understood that Mr. Leopold went back to Laeken, in Belgium, where he lived when he wasn’t taking in the Parisian White Way, and fired his chef. But it must be remembered that this little lunch that Mr. Walsh arranged for his royal guest was quite out of the ordinary. He sent out for the most famous of French banquet architects. “There’s'a hungry king coming next Thurs- day week,” he told them, “and I want you to feed him well. Go as far as you like.” Which they did. The banquet was given at the Hotel Ritz, They had some very excellent fiddlers and other musicians at the hostelry, who were willing to furnish any sort of music for the occasion. But not for Mr. Walsh. In enter- taining a kingly personage he decided to ob- serve the harmonies. Maybe plebeian music wouldn’t aid royal digestion! Nothing but regular monarchical melody would go well with the food. The Imperial Russian band, which plays for the czar and helps him forget his troubles, was in Paris at the time. Several people with money had sought to engage that band for private affairs, but the manager an- nounced that his band could not be engaged— it was none of your country orchestras. “Yl just stroll over and hire them,” sug- gested Mr. Walsh. ‘Those who heard of his expressed intention laughed derisively. But Mr. Thomas F. Walsh did hire them and Mr. Leopold, Rex, had ma: aurkas with his soup and Paderewski with the baked beans. There were others in addition to the king at that bangwet, but they didn’t cut much of a figure. The Belgian ruler was the big attrac- tion in the main tent. It isn’t everyone who can entertain a king and it isn’t one in a mil- lion that could entertain one as Thomas F. Walsh did. That banquet cost, it is said, about $75,000, which is even more expensive than dining at some New York hotels. All Paris talked of the Walsh entertainment, and it is still talked about over there. It set the high- water mark for banquets. Harry Thaw had given one that was the limit theretofore, but the Walsh affair made the Thaw dinner look like a cold lunch on washday. Even the square meal prepared by Lucullus for his guests, several seasons further back, was merely a snack compared to it. But it wasn't the only dinner given by Mr. Walsh that startled Paris. He gave a score of them while he was commissioner to the exposition, and each of the kingless ones cost $40,000. Dukes and duchesses And princes and counts and mar- quises--a lively assortment of noble appetites —attended and went away feeling as though they couldn’t eat another thing for a week Mr. Walsh had fun. He liked to see them enjoy themselves. “Never turn a hungry duke from your door,” appeared to be his motto, and as a re- sult European nobles put signs on the front fence to signal others of their kind that this was a bully place to get 4 handsome hand-out. It was one of Walsh’s philanthropies, Also it was one of his ways of enjoying the money that he accumulated in Colorado mines He believed that money was made to spend and that’s why he liked to spend it. But there fs more to the tale of the enter- tainments in Paris, Incidentally King Leopold became so impressed with the American man of millions that he consulted him about some of his (the king's) gold mining properties in Africa, with the result that Mr. Walsh went into partnership with the king. Mr. Walsh explained that he didn't go into the venture with Leopold for the profit that was in it, but just to please his friend of the crown and scep- ter. But greater than the triumph of enter- taining the king—greater than the prestige of entering into a pertnership with him—was the = Ge Ae > apa Le: i cae * Tae ree et ee aT social success that followed the European rec- ognition. Mr. Walsh has a most charming and accomplished wife. She was Miss Carrie Reed when he married her in Colorado. She had gone from her Wisconsin home to the Rockies for her health, and when she met the sturdy proprietor of the leading hotel of Leadville an attachment developed that resulted in a happy marriage. Mr. Walsh was ambitious that his wife should enjoy social distinction. After he had made his millions he came east and tried to rub elbows with many of those who had inherited theirs. Promptly the social folk dusted their clothes where the elbows touched. The Walshes, in their narrow eyes, were parvenues—tew rich—n. g. “Why, he was only a laborer—an immigrant laborer at that,” remarked society, referring to Mr. W. “V'll just try @ flank movement,” mused Mr. Walsh. So he secured the commissionership to the Paris exposition, and when he sailed for France there was no society crush at the dock to wave good-bys. But after he had trained most of the European nobility to drop into his home for a sandwich now and then, the American society folk who hadn't been able to get even a passing nod from a third- rate count began to understand that the Walshes were really very desirable people. ‘Thus it happened that when the boat docked at New York on the return trip American so- ciety was down there en masse wig-wagging welcomes and telling one another about how glad they were to see “our dear friends, the Walshes, home again.” From that time on Mr. Thomas F. Walsh and his wife had to screen the house to keep “society” from overrunning it. And ever since then the Colorado Croesus has been up at the top of the social heap in Washington, Newpert and the other places where silken society can be found at home, One day after his return from Europe Mr. Walsh decided that it would be necessary to have a larger house. He had purchased the old Jenness Miller homestead in Washington and fitted it out luxuriously. But it was too small—too cramped for the entertainments be desired to give. The Miller house was torn down and on the site was erected by far the finest house in the nation’s capital. Washing- ton refers to it as “the palace,” and no other designation would be fitting. The building cost $1,000,000, in round figures. It took from $500,000 to $800,000 to furnish it. Over 1,000 people can be entertained in it without crowd: ing. There are 64 rooms. Each of the larger apartments has a distirfet decoration, nearly every known species of hardwood having been used in the interior finishings. The floors alone of several of the rooms cost $5,000 each. In the ballroom the gold used in decorating the ceiliag, cost $10,000. The building is lighted and heated by electricity, cooled by a patent system, and automatic electric élevators—the kind that run without conductors—carry the occupants from one floor to another. There care four immense pipe organs in the house, and so well is it arranged that all of the or- gans can be played at one time without the sound of one penetrating to the zone reached by the sound of another. Specially employed connoisseurs scoured Europe and the Orient for rare rugs and tapestries wherewith to dec- orate this regal residence and pictures worth many fortunes adorn the walls. In the mag- nificent Italian garden surrounding the house there are vases and statuary brought from Greece and Italy. When tkis house was con- structed and furnished Mr. Walsh expected to entertain King Leopold there. The Belgian ruler was to have been present at the “house- warming.” But he could not come at that time ‘and the housewarming went on just the same, with most of the notables of social and official life of Washington and New York in attend- ance. “IL haven't always had all I wanted, you know,” remarked Mr. Walsh one day, “and I like to see plenty of everything for every- body.” He probably thought when he gave voice to this statement, of the days when he was a laborer in Boston. Or maybe he went back along the highway. of memory to the time when he was a wheelwright back in Tipperary, Ireland. He was born in Tipperary 58 years ago and came to this country when a lad in his late ‘teens. He landed in Boston and tried to secure employment. Wheelwrights were PEITDEN CE GF THOUS WALSH, WASHINGTON; BO not in demand. With an insistent ap- petite and no funds wherewith to bu- mor it regularly, he took a pick and shovel and started to work on the streets. From Boston he drifted over to Worcester and there branched out as a contractor, doing some sewer work and reaping a few hundred dol- lars of profit. Reports came east about this time that there was much gold in the Black hills, and Walsh, naturally a rover anyhow. decided to try his for- / tunes there. He knew nothing of mi- ning, but soon found men who did, and with his small capital “grub-staked” several prospectors who struck gold and divided with him. In a few years he had cleaned up $100,000. Then Leadville loomed large upon the hort- zon and Walsh headed for the Rocky ‘mountains. At Leadville he invested and from this vantage point he kept a sharp lookout for opportunities. Also he conducted a better hotel than had ever before been found in a new mining camp. Leadville was wide open. The click of the poker chip, the whirr of the roulette wheel, the rattle of the dice never ceased. Miners who accumulated a little “dust” scattered it quickly when they came into town and woke up in the morning “broke” and discouraged. They soon ascertained that “Tom" Walsh was a likely angel. Any reason- ably worthy prospector could get credit at the Grand Central. Not only that, but he could get money. Walsh would willingly grub-stake him. That {s, Walsh would furnish an outfit, grub and touls and advance ready money for an in- terest In the prospective “strike.” How many profitless ventures he went into is not recorded, but they were not all of that sort. Some of his working partners did make strikes and the profits were enormous. Walsh appeared to have unerring judgment when it came to buying a mine, He studied mineralogy from the alphabet up, secured a fund of information about all branches of geology, knew more about the vari- ous formations in the Colorado mountains and hills than any expert in the business at that time, and was well equipped to purchase or de- cline when property was offered. One day he amused the mining folk by purchasing an old mine “dump” where the refuse had been thrown. He had a theory that the process of extracting the metal had been wasteful and that there was plenty of gold left behind, Applying scientitic methods to the smelting of it, he managed to clean up a million dollars out of that supposedly valueless dump. He bought a “prospect” from a discouraged miner-and found a number of “pockets” of virgin gold on:it, From one “pock- et” alone he took $100,000. He was rich now and happy. But he had another theory about gold mining that he was anxious to test. The carefully educated experts said that it was folly to seek the precious metal in the tops of the mountains near the present town of Ouray. Walsh thought otherwise. He made a personal investigation of some territory where prospec: tors bad reported outcroppings of ore. As a result Walsh quietly purchased a tract in the San Juan-district There were old abandoned mines there—holes that had been left because mining was difficult in those altitudes—because frequent snowslides destroyed the houses and the machinery and filled up the shafts. The experts warned Walsh that he would lose any money that he put into the property he had pur- chased. He paid no attention to their warnings, but moved over to Ouray and started to work. From the very first hole that he dug he struck ore that assayed startlingly high. Then he started a force of men out after more property and another force to do additional prospecting. ‘The result was far beyond his wildest dreams of success. One morning a friendly little bird hopped into the tent he was occupying and Walsh hustled around to get some bread to feed it. The bird stayed after that and fed “We'll call this Camp Bird,” Walsh an- nounced. And from that day to this all these mines in the San Juan district of Colorado have been known as the Camp Bird group—one ot the richest groups of gold mines in the world. Wealth literally rolled in on the lucky Walsh. He piled million upon million—how many is a matter of dispute. Some say that he made $50,- 000,000 in that district alone, in addition to the money he had made previously in the Black hills and in Leadville. Whatever the amount, it was sufficient for all his needs and left over a bit for spending money. From the time of the first rich strike until 1902 Mr. Walsh continued to take gold from the earth. Then an English syndicate offered him $14,000,000 for a control- ling interest in his properties, and, to the sur- prise of the mining world, he sold, and the prop- erty passed out of his hands. There was woe in Ouray and throughout the mining district when the announcement was made. For of all the mine owners of the west Thomas F. Walsh enjoyed the love and confidence of his employes more than any other. He worked in unheardof ways. For instance, he built a modern, first- class hotel for the accommodation of his miners and superintendents—a hotel with baths and clean beds and reading rooms. The food was good and was well cooked and well served. And the charge for the accommodations was no greater than that of the ordinary mining-camp boarding house, where “good digestion waits on appetite” until appetite and the food fur nished put a dent in good digestion.

The combination has the approval of physicians because it is known to be truly beneficial, and because it has given satisfaction to the millions of well-informed families who have used it for many years past. To get its beneficial effects, always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. ‘The Response Mechanical. it is the custom in convents for the nuns to respond to a knock at the door with the words: “In the name of God,” the phrase being equivalent in con- ventional parlance to our worldly “enter” or “come in.” In a convent in one of the western cities not long since, the mother supe- rior had a never-to-be-forgotten expe- rience as a result of this custom, Some ‘one in the outer world called the con- vent telephone number by mistake, ‘The mother superior, roused from her meditations, picked up the receiver and responded mechanically: “In the name of God.” “Madam!” called an irate masculine voice at the other end of the wire, “there is no occasion for you to swear at me, even if I have made a mistake in the number. Profane language is prohibited over the telephone!” Good Law That Should Be Enforced. Anti-spitting ordinances, laws and regulations in more than five-eighths of the cities and towns of the country are not enforced as they should be, alleges the National Association for the Study of Tuberculosis in a recent report. While most of the larger cities of the United States have such laws on their books, in the great majority of cases they are ignored or over looked. The report covers in detail the enforcement of the anti-spitting ordinances in 80 of the largest cities in the country. During the year 1909 in these 80 cities, 3,421 arrests were made for violation of the laws regard- ing spitting in public places. Over 2,900 convictions were secured and $4,100.87 was collected in fines. ‘\apiede tiie eae Sheldon Kerruish tells this story on his esteemed father: “One day a long time ago, a number ef children in our neighborhood were talking about the bad habits of their parents. “ ‘My father smokes 15 cigars a day, said a little girl, boastfully like. “My father swears something aw ful when supper is late,’ said another, “My papa came home tight the other night,’ remarked a third. “It was my little sister's turn next, “You just ought to see my papa read Cicero,’ she said, and all the other little girls retired in confusion, gladly admitting that sister had won the prize."—Cleveland Leader, The Literary Fabricator “How did that story that George Washington couldn't tell a le get started?” asked the inquisitive youth. “I don’t know,” replied the irrever- ent person; “unless he had a press agent that could.” It 1s @ good thing to have good friends, but not to be dominated too much or too long by their example.— Rev. William Dickie. MISCHIEF MAKER A Surprise in Brooklyn. An adult's food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing and easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says: “When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed to the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mother’s milk not being sufficient nourishment. “Qne day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed a sec ond which he likewise finished. “It was not many days before he for got all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischief. maker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be. “We haye put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good—his old friend Grape-Nuts. “Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the bright. ness it has brought to our household.” Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food, but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Nature's grains, it is equally effective as a body and brain builder for grown-ups.

They will be sent to the federal au- thorities in all prohibition states by the revenue office at Washington, “As the peddling of liquors, or so called bootlegging is not counten- anced by internal revenue law, and no provision is made for the issuance of any stamps which would legalize such practice, peddlers of liquors, or boot- leggers, should be arrested and re- ported for prosecution whenever found selling, even though the tax is paid by them within the calendar month in which the liability is reported or in- curred, BAD LUCK FOR BANK ROBBERS They Overlooked $6,000 in Wrecked Safe and Dropped $250 in the Street, Haskell, Oklahoma—The First State bank of Haskell was robbed of $600 by robbers, who in leaving the bank after having blown up the safe and wrecked the furniture, dropped one sack of silver containing $250.

GERMANY AND CANADIAN WHEAT LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WES? FOR HER SUPPLY. A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manito ba, dated March 18, 1910 says: That Germany is “anxious to secure a share of Canadian wheat to supply her im- ports of that cereal.” The recent ad» justment of the trade relations with Germany has made it possible to carry on a Canadian-German trade with much fewer restrictions than in the past, and considerable development of trade between the two Countries is now certain. The great men of the United States are alive to the ‘Wheat situation in this Country now, and there is consequently the deepest interest in every feature that will tend to increase and conserve the wheat supply. With its present 650,- 000,000 bushel production of wheat and all efforts to increase it almost unavailing, and the rapidly growing consumption of its increasing popula- tion, there is certainly the greatest reason for the anxiety as to where the wheat is to come from that will feed the nation, The United States will be forced as Germany is to look to the Wheatfields of Canada, One Province alone raised last year one eighth as much as the entire produc- tlon of the United States, and but « twelfth of the wheat area has yet beem touched. The Americans who have gone to Canada, are to-day reaping the benefit of the demand for Canadi- an wheat and they will continue to join in the benefits thus reached for @ great many yeas. Splendid yields are reported from the farms of that Country, and from land that the Gove ernment gives away in 160 acre dlocks, and from other lands that have been purchased at from $12 to $15 an acre. Jobn Munter, near Eye brow, Saskatchewan, a former resh dent of Minnesota says: “Last fall got over 30 bushels off wheat to the acre and had 30 acres of it; also 20 acres spring breaking on which I had flax of which I got almost 20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in oats and got 70 bushels per acre and 600 bushels potatoes on one and ‘three quarter acre, and can therefore safely say that I had a fine crop and am well satisfied with my homestead.” He is considered but a small farmer, but he will be one of the big farmers, some of these days. There are many others, hundreds of others, whose yields were beyond this, and whose average under crop was vastly greater. The story of the experience of American farmers in the Canadian ‘West is a long one. The time to go, would appear to be now, when splen- @id selections may be made, and where land can be purchased at prices that will be doubled in a couple of years. MANY MILES.

My hands were very sore and cracked open on the insides for over a year with large sores. They would crack open and bleed, itch, burn and ache so that I could not sleep and could do but little work, They were so bad that I could not dress myself in the morning. They would bleed and the blood dropped on the floor. I called on two doctors, but they did me no good. I could get nothing to do any good till I got the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. About a year ago my daughter got a cake of Cuth cura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and in one week from the time I began to use them my hands were all healed up and they have not been a mite, sore since. I would not be without the Cuticura Remedies. “They also cured a bad sore on the hand of one of my neighbor's children, and they think very highly of the Cutt cura Remedies. John W. Hasty, So.

Ratsr A captain on an ocean liner tiie the following story: Coming from the old ‘country was a very nervous old lady ‘who complained that she wes sure there was a rat in her stateroom. “Keep it there, madam,” said the saptarn. “But do you like rats?” asked she. “T've got a nest in my cabin,” re Yorted the brusque seaman, “ané 2 jaever disturb them When they leew® the ship I do.” “Why, you must be superstitious” urged the dame. “No, ma’am,’ wound up the captaim “Tm not, but the rats are.” i Love never is too late. It seems. Within itself, all that is lasting gain; And, or at morn or midnight, comes With blessings in its train. Made to Order By BRYANT C. ROGERS The house of Prof. Burton, of the museum of natural history was ruled by Miss Janet Burton, his sister and a spinster of 40, and it had been so since the death of Mrs. Burton. She ruled from the garret to the cellar. She ruled the professor, the servants, the expenses and everything and everybody except Miss Clara. She thought she ruled her, but in this she was mistaken. The young woman somehow managed to have her way about things, and that without open rebellion. The professor knew that he had a daughter, and somehow he had an idea that she was 19 years old. She might have told him so, or the information might have come from Miss Janet. The professor was a fond father. That is, he was fond of his work in the museum and left the rest to his sister. Had a young man walked in on him and held him up with a gun and demanded his consent to a marriage with Clara, the father might possibly have been aroused to family matters for five minutes, but he would have deplored the loss of time. When Miss Janet had decided to take Miss Clara and to go to the Berkshires for a month, it was without consultation with the professor. She simply announced: "William, we are going away for a month and you must do the best you can." William uttered a sound between a sigh and a grunt and that was all there was to it. If he kissed Clara on the morning she went away he did not remember it at noon. Why choose the Berkshires? That was Miss Janet's idea. She realized that it was up to her to make a good match for her niece. Miss Clara had been introduced to young Bakerfield, whose father was worth three millions. Young Bakerfield was going to the Berkshires. There is romance in the Berkshires. Matches are being made there every day in the summer. Not a word to the niece about matchmaking—oh, no! All the talk was about the ozone of the hills and the lovely rambles. The maiden aunt, who thought her self sharper than a serpent's tooth, made her great mistake on the very first day of their arrival. Young Bakerfield was found there and she patted her niece on the head and proceeded to say: "Now, dearie. I am somewhat used up by the journey and have all the unpacking to do, and for a couple of days you will have to take care of yourself. It is a lovely place, with lovely people, and you will enjoy yourself." The unexpected had been saving itself for their arrival. Miss Clara started out for a ramble on one of the hillside paths, swinging her hat in her hand as she sauntered. Young Bakerfield saw her go, but did not follow. As a matter of fact, he was talking with another good-looking girl at the time. No one followed and only a few persons were met on the path. After a bit the girl sat down on a rock to watch the frisking chipmunks and had almost lost herself when she was suddenly picked up in a pair of strong arms, carried 30 feet and deposited with a half-tumble. She had just decided to scream when she saw trees, rocks, bushes and dirt rushing over the rock on which she had sat. It was a landslide that would have swept her to her death. "I beg your pardon, but there was no time to warn you," said the man at her elbow; and she turned to find Mr. Walter Kennet smiling at her. Indeed, he had a hand under her elbow and was holding her up. That was the unexpected, and it turned Miss Janet's cake back to dough within a minute. A landslip—a rescue—a nice young man instead of an old bald-head for the hero. All these things are furnished in the Berkshires without extra expense. Mr. Kennet didn't make too much of the incident. He was wise enough to give the girl a day to find the romance of the thing. Then a formal introduction was brought about and he stood on his merits. Meanwhile Miss Janet was being real good and getting other ideas. It came to her that she might be suspected of duplicity, and she took occasion to remark: "Clara. I think I am a fair judge of character, and I have almost decided that Mr. Bakerfield is a flighty young man and hardly knows his own mind." "You wrong him, auntie," was the reply. "He is a very earnest young man. I think him entirely sincere." The aunt had to turn her head to conceal her smile of satisfaction. When a girl defends a young man she is interested in him. Miss Clara had as good as admitted that she was interested in young Bakerfield. So she was. She was interested in watching his firttations with half a dozen young ladies. He was earnest and sincere in wanting to flirt with all the good- give, alas! ved, love never is too ver beyond the grave 's gate! ates, in Lippincott's. looking girls. He gave her no more attention than the others, and this was lucky for Mr. Kennet. There were those who could vouch for him in all things, and then there was the landslip in his favor. He may have wondered why he was not introduced to the aunt, but if so he kept his thoughts to himself. He may have been piqued that whenever the said aunt was around Miss Clara and young Bakerfield were very chummy, but being a gentleman he had to pocket his feelings. The month was almost up, and he and the girl were sauntering over the path where the landslip occurred when she suddenly asked: "Mr. Kennet, why do landslips occur?" "It is generally the result of wet weather," was the reply. "The rains wash the dirt away from in front of a great bowler, and in rolling down it carries things before it. Again, the fall of a tree on the mountainside starts a slip." "Could a man bring about a landslip?" "Why, yes—a little one." "One big enough to scare a woman?" "I could guarantee that," laughed the young man. "Is there any woman in particular you want to scare?" "N-o-o-o. I—I just want my aunt to see a landslip—a little one, and to be a little bit scared. Then she can appreciate how scared I was that day. She doesn't think it was a bit awful." "She must be rescued?" queried Mr. Kennet, with sober face. "Mercy, yes! I wouldn't have her buried under a landslip for anything." "And when will she be walking along this path?" "After dinner this evening. I shall be with her, but having escaped one landslip I am not afraid of another. In fact, my dear aunt may be quite a distance ahead of me on the path. If a slip takes place, and if someone rescues her—" There was no more said on the subject. That's the way up in the Berkshires. Two people get to talking on a very interesting matter and then suddenly stop, and an outsider is left hanging in the air. Toward evening Mr. Kennet and a man with a crowbar might have been seen walking along that same path together. They were going to dig a woodchuck out of his hole. They found the hole on the side of a hill, and after some talk on the habits of the "chuck" returned to the hotel. It was in the gloaming that Miss Clara and her aunt wandered up the winding path to reach a spot called Crow's Nest and get a view of the valley. They never reached it. They were only half way there when stones and dirt began to rattle down, and a tree or two fell, and some one came rushing down the path and picked the aunt up like a bag of potatoes and hustled her to safety. At first she was very angry at the way she was mussed up, but when she came to understand that that landslide might have carried her five miles down into Squaw valley and left her a wreck, she came down handsomely. Her gratitude was expressed in tears, sobs and words, and in her perturbation she let Miss Clara introduce her preserver by name without wondering how and when the girl became acquainted with him. "And Mr. Bakerfield saw us come this way and never followed on to rescue you!" said the deceiver, as the trio walked back to the hotel together. "No, he didn't, and I shall give him the cut direct after this." It was six weeks later when Mr. Kennet called at the professor's house in the city. Both ladies received him warmly, and landslips and other Berkshire things were the subject of conversation. When the young man had departed the aunt was busy with her thoughts for a while, and then said: "Clara, why did Mr. Kennet ask when your father would be in?" "He wanted to ask his consent! was the brazen reply. "But do you pretend to say—say—" "Yes, of course. I have loved him from the moment he rescued you from that landslip. You dear old thing, but don't you suppose I know what gratitude is as well as you do!" And when the professor was asked the momentous question he replied: "Um! Um!." But it was enough. Utilizing the Squeal "I understand you utilize even the squeal of an animal that passes through your slaughter house!" "Yes," answered the Chicago meat packer. "We're arranging to lease that to the ultimate consumer for use when he wants 'to make a holler.'" The Fine Distinction Black-I buy all of my wife's dresses.

The KITCHEN CABINET E WHO eats the fruit should at least plant the seed; FEEL highly compliments when Nature condescens E WHO eats the fruit should at least plant the seed; aye, if possible, a better fruit than that which he has enjoyed O. thou spendthrift! Defray thy debt to the world." "Common Growths of Mother Earth." The liking for vegetables is usually a matter of training in childhood, and it seems a pity that so many children at a time when tastes are formed, are deprived of the enjoyment and real benefit which a varied vegetable diet gives, because the parent lacks appreciation of the value of vegetables as food. There is no excuse for monotony in the way they are served, for with thought, a different arrangement and preparation may give variety each day in the month. Vegetables contain salts and mineral matter, valuable in the blood, besides other food principles, and water in abundance. The cellulose or woody fiber in vegetables, give the necessary bulk to our food. We need, as Kipling says: "Bulk in our insides." Spinach has been called the broom of the system. It contains iron and other minerals, making it a valuable vegetable for spring use. Asparagus is a food and a medicine as is celery and rhubarb. Dandelion is a green vegetable salad plant, valuable for a spring green. It may be cooked like spinach, served with hard cooked eggs, or fresh with French dressing. If bleached by laying boards over the dandelion plants early in the spring they are especially tender and nice to serve. Cress may be obtained very early from the brooks, and is another salad plant good to eat alone, or in combination with dandelion, lettuce, or with onions and radishes it makes a most attractive salad. The radishes and onions are sliced very thin, and heaped on the bed of cress. French dressing may be served with this salad. Hints. Cheese is a food that needs to be cooked at a low temperature. Too much or too prolonged heat renders it tough and leathery. The smoothness of a rarebit depends upon the stirring, which must be continuous. F YOU and I are cross you see There's bound to be a fuss. If you and I untidy are, Somewhere there'll be a muss. If you and I are selfish, then Will someone suffer wrong. If you and I rob birds' nests, why The world will lose a song." Fancy Cookery. So many people have the idea that fancy cooking is a highly complex process, when it is often only a new arrangement of materials or food served in a different form. If one has a good idea of the first principles of cookery it is comparatively easy to elaborate many so-called fancy dishes. Through the ingenuity of the cook, so many combinations of food may be made by changing the flavor and form of foods, that they may appear in such dress that one may have a new dish for every day in the year. The simple white sauce for example, which is made by using two tablespoonfuls of butter melted in a hot saucepan, stirring in two tablespoonfuls of flour. When well mixed add a cupful of milk and cook for five minutes. This same white sauce may become a fancy dish when served with fish baked or boiled, or in croquettes, by adding sometimes chopped hard cooked eggs. Again, chopped sour plickle or olives plain or stuffed, are added. The white sauce may be changed in consistency by adding less or more flour. For croquettes we need a thicker sauce, using the same amount of milk and one-third of a cupful of flour. A dessert that may have a very high-sounding name on the menu card, will be found to be a combination of very simple things. Dandelion Creole Style Wash the leaves carefully and let them stand in salt water for five hours. A ham shank is boiled for two hours, then the dandelions are added and cooked until tender. Drain, chop fine, season with butter, pepper and salt, and serve with the chopped meat from the ham shank. Garnish with hard cooked eggs. Spinach must be washed in large quantities of water to remove the sand, which settles in the creases of the leaves. Veal Chops. Wipe chops, make an incision and put in a few drops of onion juice, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Dip in flour, egg, crumbs and cook in a little pork fat until tender. Serve on a hot platter with tomato sauce. FEEL highly complimented when Nature condescends to make use of me without my knowledge, as when I help scatter her seeds in my walk, or carry burrs and cockles on my clothes from field to field. I feel as though I had done something for a walk and were tilted to board and lodging. I take such alms upon me as the boy who holds a horse for the circus company, whom all the spectators envy." Thoreau. Appetizing Sandwiches A dainty, well seasoned, well made sandwich is an accomplishment one may well be proud of. Sandwiches may be used at so many functions with drinks, soups, salads, or as a dessert. A few of the less common varieties are as follows: Penner Sandwiches Remove the seeds from two sweet peppers, chop fine and cook ten minutes in two tablespoonfuls of butter, add a dash of salt and cool. Spread on buttered bread and cover with cream cheese. Olive and Almond Sandwiches. Blanch 20 almonds, mince fine, add one cream cheese and a dozen chopped olives. Spread on white bread. Sandwiches for the children's lunch basket may be of various kinds, as variety is a valuable item in child feeding. Tongue Sandwich.—Spread bread with butter and mustard, a quarter of a tablespoonful of mustard to four tablespoonfuls of butter. Lay thin slices of cold boiled tongue between the slices. Watercress Sandwiches. Remove the stems and chop fine one bunch of watercress; add French dressing or boiled salad dressing; mix and spread over thin slices of buttered bread. Nuts and dates chopped together make a nice sandwich filling, as do grated maple sugar and chopped almonds. Sweet Sandwich. A sweet sandwich which may be served as a dessert is made of chopped pineapple mixed with mayonnaise and spread on buttered bread. Cut the sandwiches in narrow strips. HE art of seeing things is not something that may be conveyed in rules and precepts; it is a matter vital in the eye, and ear, in the mind and soul, of which these are the organs. I have as little hope of being able to tell the reader how to see things as I would have in trying to tell him how to fall in love or to enjoy his dinner. Either he does or he does not, and that is about all there is of it."—John Burroughs. Seeing Things There is nothing truer than that we see what we are looking for, and the eye, ear, mind and soul may be trained to look for the beautiful in things and people, both visible and invisible. We may not be able to tell another how to see things; but we may help to train the eye to see more and more in the common every-day things of life. The little child who has been taught by a wise parent or teacher to love the bee, the bird and the flower, will have a richness of life in experiences which nothing can take away. Such an education in observation should be the heritage of every child, and the more it is cultivated, the greater is the capacity for enjoyment. One feels a pity for the one who is not uplifted by the perfume of the rose, the song of a bird or the light of a glorious sunset. Yet often the love of these things is there; but so untrained and undeveloped that the whole life is dwarfed. How often we could see beautiful things if we only looked. We are like the painter's friend, who criticised the sunset on the canvas as not true to nature. He had never seen such a sunset. "Ah," replied the artist, "don't you wish you could?" It was there to see, but the eye that looked was "holden." The microscope is a wonderful instrument in the hands of young or old, to open the eyes to an appreciation of the marvelous things in nature. A butterfly's wing is the most feathery, intricate piece of nature's workmanship, and when we know that never are two blades of grass, two leaves, or two snowflakes formed just alike, we feel something as we do when we try to think what eternity means. Great and wonderful indeed are the works of our Creator. Too Many Now. "Mister," said the roaming mendicant, "won't yer give a dime to a poor man dat can't speak?" "What are you trying to give me?" demanded the prosperous citizen. "Aren't you speaking now?" "Oh, I mean I had a speech to make on de north pole and lost it. Dat's why I can't speak." "On the north pole? Great Scott! Here's a quarter not to speak." Spring heels help some, but a springy disposition gets you there quicker. NEWS of the UNION LABOR WORLD. New York.-The voluntary wage increases announced by several railroads will not alter the plans of the trainmen and conductors who have made demands for a larger increase, according to the grand masters of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the the Order of Railroad Conductors. A statement by Grand Master Lee, given out here, says: The men will, for the most part, take the proffered increase as part of the advance asked for, but our original program will not be altered. We will finish with the New York Central and the same course will be pursued with the Pennsylvania as with the other roads. When we are through with some of the other roads we will ask for conferences with the Pennsylvania people over the rest of the advance demanded." Washington.—T. J. Dolan, general secretary-treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Steamshovel and Dredgemen, asked and practically obtained the support of President Taft for a bill that will be introduced in congress providing for an eight-hour day on government dredge and tug work. Mr. Dolan says that about 8,000 members of his organization are employed under contractors doing river and harbor work for the government and that they insist upon eight hours as a day's work. The president is an honorary member of the shovel and dredgemen's organization. Cincinnati.-Coincident with the announcement that the telegraphers of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railway have been awarded increased pay by a finding filed with the Interstate Commerce commission in Washington, it became known that inability to agree upon the detailed readjustment demanded by the recent Erdman act arbitration of the disputes between the telegraphers and the Big Four railway again brought that matter to a crisis. New York.—It has been announced that 5,000 iron workers employed by the Iron League Erectors' association, in New York, who received an increase of 30 cents a day in the early part of January, bringing the wages up to $4.80 a day, would get another raise in wages, and that from July 1 all the workers in the employ of the association would receive $5.00 a day. This is the highest wages ever received by structural iron workers in that city. Washington.—W. R. Scott, assist ant general manager of the Southern Pacific, has been named by the railroads west of Chicago, and Timothy Shea, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen, has been named by the firemen as members of the board of arbitration which is to adjust the differences which threatened to precipitate a general strike a few weeks ago. Columbus, O.—Trouble is threatened in the eastern Ohio coal district on account of what coal operators say is the arbitrary stand of the miners in regard to signing up the scale for that district. D. H. Sullivan, president of the Ohio district, demanded that the Cleveland operators sign up for their interests in Pennsylvania as well as eastern Ohio. This was refused. New York.—It has been announced that the directors of the American Sugar Refining company have passed a resolution providing for an increase in wages of from five to ten per cent. to the employees in all the refineries of the company. The advance, it is stated, will affect all classes of employees. No time has been announced for the advance to become effective. Albany, N. Y.—It is reported here that the Delaware & Hudson wage schedule controversy has reached the stage involving an offer of a six per cent. advance by the company to the conductors and trainmen. It is said the employees hope for a concession to that given the employees of the Baltimore & Ohio as a result of the arbitration there. Danville, Ill.—President Walker, of the Illinois miners, gave out an interview here, in which he stated that there was absolutely no friction between him and President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers. He said there was some difference between them at the Indianapolis conference, but from now on they would work together. New York.—It was announced after a meeting of the directors of the American Sugar Refining company that the directors had adopted a resolution for an increase in wages of five to ten per cent. for employees in the refineries of the company. The advance, it was stated, would affect all classes of employees. Washington.—A recent report from the general offices of the American Federation of Labor shows that on an average the office sends out daily 1,100 letters, circulars and packages. Louisville, Ky.—Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America will hold their annual convention in this city May 9. New York.—The National Pharmaceutical society is the name given to a union recently formed by the drug clerks. Washington.—The number of national and international unions of laboring people has grown in 19 years from 20 to 35. Denver, Col.—Organized labor has united in a demand for the public ownership of the water supply for that city. New York.—The anticipation of possible further spread of the strike of pilots and masters of railroad harbor shipping was realized when the Harbor Boatmen's union decided to call out all its men employed on the harbor railroad tugs except those of the New York Central and Erie lines. These roads granted the men's demands. The union includes firemen, deck hands, oilers and all employees aboard the boats except masters, mates and engineers. The Harbor Boatmen's union wants increased wages and shorter hours. Pittsburg.—After a strike of two years' duration by the Tile Layers and Helpers' union of this district, an amicable adjustment of the issues has just been reached, and the men have returned to work. The settlement provides for $4.80 a day, of eight hours, under a five-year contract, and car fares are to be paid by employers where work is located above half a mile from the shops. The pay of apprentices starts at $3.25 for the first six months, and runs up to $4.40. The helpers get $2.50. Philadelphia.—Declaring that it has in its employ more than 5,000 of the 7,000 men needed for the operation of its cars at this season of the year, the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company announced that in so far as it is concerned the strike of its former employees is at an end. The company adds that for the vacancies still existing in the operating force the strikers, if they apply for work, will be given preference over other applicants. Boston.—The new wage schedule and working agreement of Wood, Wire and Metal Lathers' Union No. 72 will go into effect in Boston and vicinity on May 1. An increase of 25 cents a thousand laths for putting up is being asked, which will mean an increase from $2.50 to $2.75 a thousand. Men working by the day will ask $4.40 for eight hours' work, which is an increase of five cents an hour, and double time for overtime. Tonopah, Nev.—A strike of all men employed on the operating system of the Tonopah & Goldfield railroad, has been declared. All the conductors, brakemen, firemen and engineers walked out. A recent order reducing wages and a refusal of the company to arbitrate, brought about the walk out. The road is the only means of access to the Goldfield district from the north. Louisville, Ky.—The stemmery of the American Tobacco company at Thirty-first and Walnut was attacked by a mob of striking stemmers and sympathizers. Charles Jenkins, engineer of the plant, was struck by flying stones and badly hurt, but nobody was fatally injured. A number of shots were fired and several windows were broken. Rochester, N. Y.—Nearly 300 men have been brought into the city to take the places of striking brewery workers. Secretary John Sullivan, of the International Brewery Workers' union, says a fund of $405,000 is available for the fight here and efforts will be made to spread the strike to all cities where Rochester beer is shipped. Springfield, Ill.—National President Lewis, of the United Mine Workers of America, refused to issue a commission to Frank Farrington of Streator, the newly elected member for Illinois of the national executive board, but instead has charged Farrington with disloyalty and favoring the operators in making the joint agreements. Chicago.—Following an experiment of working its men only six instead of seven days a week, the Chicago & Northwestern railroad will not haul any "dead" freight on Sundays hereafter and will allow nearly 12,000 operating employees a day of rest on the Sabbath. The new plan, as it has been tried, is declared to be a success. Washington.—From 1897 to the close of last year the American Federation of Labor had issued 6,821 charters as follows: International 107, departments 4, state 38, central 986, trade unions 3,856. At this time it costs $208,702 a year to conduct the office of the American Federation of Labor. Washington. — The Porto Rico unions which are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor are making an appeal to unions in the United States for funds to aid the bakers in Mayague, who are on strike. Boston—International Union of Blacksmiths will send organizers to this city to organize thoroughly the craft in the vicinity. Bakerfield, Cal.—A union of the wood, wire and metal lathers is being formed. Cincinnati—Machinists employed by the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railroad, who have been reported as being ready to strike, will remain at work. The cause of the strike order has not yet been revealed, but officials of the road believe the walkout was planned as an offshoot of a similar movement by machinists of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Sacramento, Cal.—Some time ago the painters made a demand on the boss painters for a wage of $5 a day. This was refused and $4.50 offered. A vote resulted in the acceptance of the offer by a majority of slix. COLDS AFFECT THE KIDNEYS. PE·RU·NA KIDNEY FOR TROUBLE (CATARRH OF KIDNEYS) Manager—That drinking song went very badly tonight.

New Idea by Which Hostess May Give Guests a Pleasant Surprise—Direction for Preparation of the Dishes. Serve oranges first. Remove the peel and all the white skin which adheres to them. Put a whole one on each plate with a fork tightly inserted in the end. They are eaten in this manner, the fork being run into them when put on the plate. Puchera (a Spanish Soup).—Fry onions and garlic in olive oil, add any kind of meat (beef, mutton or fowl, either separately or together, cut in small pieces and seasoned with salt, and plenty of pepper). Fill up the puchera (an earthen pan) with water or stock, preferably the latter, a little vinegar; add garbazuos (a species of small pease). Use all vegetables in season, withholding potatoes until half or three-quarters of an hour before the finish. These ingredients must simmer slowly, and when done the stock is poured off and vermicelli is added. Both vegetables and meat in Spain are served separately. This stock possesses far more of the vegetable element than the ordinary stock. Garlic, if used sparingly, will not be distasteful to the American palate. It is considered both wholesome and appetizing. The famous "olla podrida" bears a close resemblance to puchera. It is made from all kinds of meat cut in small pieces and stewed with all kinds of vegetables. Frijoles (Spanish Beans).—Use two cups of pink beans. Wash thoroughly. Put in plenty of water to soak over night. In the morning drain off the water and place in a steeppan; pour over one quart of hot water, (not boiling), with a pinch of baking soda, and boil slowly until soft. When soft drain off the water and pour over them one quart of tomatoes, one or two red peppers, two slices of bacon. Season with salt, place on the back of the fire and boil slowly for two hours. Spanish Salad.—Pare four large cucumbers, four large tomatoes, one bunch of crisp celery, two heads of fresh lettuce, three green Chili peppers, then chop all separately, very fine, and mix together. Add one tablespoon of vinegar, the juice of one lemon, season with pepper and salt and set in a cool place until ready to serve. Spanish Puffs.—One tablespoonful of powdered sugar, two ounces of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, one cup of water, yolks of four eggs. Put the water into a saucepan, add the sugar, salt and butter, and while boiling stir in flour enough to have it leave the pan, then stir in one by one the yolk of the eggs. Now drop a tablespoonful into boiling lard and fry a light brown. If done properly they will puff. A Tasty Dessert. A tasty dessert was invented by a Brooklyn housewife the other day. Sherbet glasses were filled with apple sauce—the red kind that is cooked until it is mahogany color—a little nest was made in the center and this was filled with whipped cream and around the cream there were scattered finely minced nuts. This apple sauce may be kept in cans for an indefinite time and is always useful, either as an accompaniment for the meat course or for dessert. Order in Pantry. Nothing is so unsightly in a pantry or closet as a number of tin lids pitched loosely on a shelf. One woman has overcome this effect by nailing a narrow strip of wood to cleats about ten inches under her high pot shelf in the pantry. In the space thus made the lids are slipped. The handles prevent slipping and can be bead at a minute's notice. Ranged according to sizes, hunting for the right lid does not waste one's time. Cabbage With Milk Sauce. Cut a nice head of cabbage as for cold slaw; pour over it one pint of boiling water and stew for ten minutes. Pour off the water and pour over the cabbage a half pint of rich milk. When the milk boils, add a heaping teaspoonful of flour, moistened with a little milk; season with salt and black pepper to taste and add a small lump of butter. Serve hot. Apron for Bed Making. A certain heat housewife keeps a large, clean white apron, called "the bed apron," hanging in the back upper hall. When the maid goes up stairs to make the beds, she is asked to put on this apron, which completely covers the front of her dress and protects the bedding from chance of being soiled. Mince Meat. One cup of chopped meat, one cup of sugar, one-half cup of molasses, three cups of chopped apples, one or two cups of meat, liquor or water, one tablespoon of salt, one tablespoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of allspice, one-half teaspoon cloves. Mix well and let stand 24 hours before baking to season. Savory Drippings. When rendering the drippings of fat meat, add a small onion (do not cut it), a few leaves of summer savory and thyme, a teaspoonful of salt, and a little pepper. This is enough for a pint of fat. Keep the drippings covered and in a cool place. You Look Prematurely Old NEW THEORY IS RAPIDLY SPREADING OVER COUNTRY L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the human stomach, which he claims to prove, with his new medicine, is being given more respect and comment every day. Cooper claims that 90 per cent of all ill health is due to stomach trouble. When interviewed about his theory recently, he said: "Stomach trouble is the great curse of the 20th century so far as the civilized races are concerned. Practically all of the chronic ill health of this generation is caused by abnormal stomachic conditions. In earlier days, when the human race was closer to nature, and men and women worked all day out of doors, digging their frugal existence from the soil, the tired, droopy, half-sick people that are now so common, did not exist. "To be sure, there was sickness in those days, but it was of a virulent character, and only temporary. There was none of this half-sick condition all the time with which so many are afflicted nowadays. "I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble. The human stomach in civilized people today is degenerate. It lacks tone and strength. This weakness has gradually come through a sedentary existence. I further know that few people can be sick with the digestive apparatus in perfect shape. The sole reason for my success is because my New Discovery medicine tones the stomach up to required strength in about six weeks' time. That is why I have had more people come and thank me wherever I have gone to introduce my medicine, than I have had time to talk with." Among the immense numbers of people who are now strong believers in Cooper's theory and medicine is Mrs. M. E. Delano, a prominent resident of the suburb of Brookline, Boston, Mass. She says: "For several years I was broken in health, caused primarily by stomach and nerve troubles. I gradually became worse, until recently I was compelled to go without solid food for days at a time. I had sour stomach, palatination of the nerves of stomach and heart, dyspepsia, and extreme nervousness. I suffered terribly with insomnia, and my liver, bowels and whole system gradually became deranged. I felt instant relief the first day I began this Cooper medicine. I now feel like a new being. Today I walked all over town, shopping—something I have not done for years. "I make this statement wholly from a sense of duty. I feel I owe it to anyone who might find relief and renewed happiness as I have done." Cooper's New Discovery is sold by all druggists. If your druggist cannot supply you, we will forward you the name of a druggist in your city who will. Don't accept "something just as good."—The Cooper Medicine Co., Dayton, Ohio. Something Stronger Than Wind. Senator Depew, apropos of March winds, said, at a dinner in Washington: "An old-fashioned fellow, one year when Easter came in March, paid too many Easter calls and drank too many cups of eggnog, and, alas, was quite overcome. "As the old-fashioned fellow lurched, in the late afternoon, toward home, a little girl watched him from her window, curiously." "Oh, mamma,' she said, 'come and look at Mr. Stuyvesant. Isn't the wind blowing him about!" The Irish of Shakespeare: An Englishman and an Irishman were having an argument on the subject of Shakespeare. "I defy you," said the former, "to find a single Irish character in the whole of his works." "Well, I can give you two, at all events," replied the Irishman, "Miss O'Phelia and Corry O'Lanus." He forgot Hamlet's intimate friend, who stood beside him while he was contemplating his uncle in devotion, and observed: "Now, would I do it, Pat, while he is praying."—Springfield Republican. Overhennecked. Former Governor Pennypacker, discussing at a dinner in Philadelphia the divorce evil, said with his humorous smile: "Perhaps there would be less divorce if human nature were more perfect.

Some years ago a contractor building a railroad in a warm climate was troubled, a great deal by sickness among the laborers. He turned his attention at once to their food and found that they were getting full rations of meat and were drinking water from a stream near by. He issued orders to cut down the amount of meat and to increase greatly the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the men. He also boiled Quaker Oats and mixed the thin oatmeal water with their drinking water. Almost instantly all signs of stomach disorders passed and his men showed a decided improvement in strength and spirits. This contractor had experience that taught him the great value of good oatmeal. 53 Packed in regular size packs, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. Treatment for Lump Jaw Lump jaw is due to a fungus which is usually taken into the animal's system in feed consumed. Lump jaw is liable to affect the glands of the throat or the bones of the head, writes Doctor David Roberts in American Cultivator. It is not advisable to keep an animal thus afflicted lingering in a herd. On the other hand it is advisable to either treat such an animal or kill it, as such animals invite diseases into the herd, owing to the fact that they are so reduced in vitality that they have no resisting power. A remarkably large per cent. of such cases can be successfully treated if taken in time by opening up the enlargement and washing it out with a strong antiseptic solution, like five of carbolic acid in water, and putting the animals on a tonic. In this way the afflicted animal is not only saved, but the entire herd is protected against disease. No Encouragement The family had stood the long strain of Uncle Hobart's illness well, but the peculiarities of the physician, chosen by Uncle Hobart himself, had been to say the least, trying. "Do you really think he will recover, Dr. Shaw?" asked the oldest sister of the invalid, who had borne with his vagaries patiently for years. "I know how you feel, with Thanksgiving coming on and all," said the doctor, peering at her from under his shaggy eyebrows, "but it's too soon to tell. He may get well, and then again, he may not; I can't encourage you yet—either way."—Youth's Companion. It Seemed So. The little son of the family happened to be idling his time in the kitchen when the colored porter came up out of the cellar, where he had been shoveling coal into the heater, grasped the white towel hanging on the door and passed into the hall. For an instant the youth gazed awe-struck at the coal dust impressions left on the towel, then yelled after the retreating negro: "Oh, Sam, your color's coming off!"—Judge. $100 Reward. $100.

U., WICHITA, NO. 17-1910. Sick Women Well. MARKETING Stove will do anything, from heating a kettle of water to cooking a course dinner, but it won't heat a room. It doesn't "smell," it doesn't smoke. It can't get out of order. Light it and it is ready. Turn it down and it is out. Only a woman who knows the trouble of carrying coal and cooking in a hot kitchen can appreciate what it means to have a clean, perfect stove that will cook anything, boil, bake or roast, and yet won't heat the kitchen. How is it done? The flame is controlled in turquoise-blue enamel chimneys, and directed against the bottom of pot, pan, kettle or oven, and only there. The flame operates exactly where it is needed—and nowhere else. With this stove your kitchen is cool. The nickel finish with the bright blue of the chimneys makes the stove ornamental and attractive. Made with 1, 2 and 3 burners; the 2 and 3-burner stoves can be had with or without Cabinet. SEEDS Write or call for our new 1910 bulk, garden, flower a seed catalogue. New stock just in.

That you might tread upon them, and starve them, and get the better of them in every possible way? By no means. They were made that wise people might take care of them. That is the true and plain fact concerning the relations of every strong and wise man to the world about him. He has his strength given him, not that he may crush the weak, but that he may support and guide them. In his own household he is to be the guide and support of his children; out of his household he is still to be the father, that is, the guide and support of the weak and the poor; not merely of the meritoriously weak and the innocently poor, but of the guilty and punishably poor; of the men who ought to have known better; of the poor who ought to be ashamed of themselves.—John Ruskin. --- ```markdown ``` Ind Phone 178 For Sale:- Fine, full blood wacen spaniel pups.

A Moroccan shows his contempt of anything by whistling. A conflict between tribesmen and a battalion of French troops was recently precipitated by the whistling of a locomotive on a railway being constructed near Casablanca. "The glacours are laughing at us," said a chieftain, when the construction engine gave a toot to warn the natives at work on the line to look out. The Arabs went wild, mounted their horses, and rode on the whistling enemy. They had to be calmed with the whistling of rifle balls. Bell Phone 175 --- Fools.
