B Refreshment You Are Cor Admission NEGRO NATURAL SINGERS So Says Mme Azalia Hackley The Noted Negro Soprano Mme. Azaiia Hackley, the distinguished colored soprano, who spends her time and her money in the difficult task of bringing about the higher musical education of the colored race, appeared in a song recital at Dyer's music Hall in St. Paul Minn. retently a group of leading colored citizens has become responsible for her concert, in order to help in her project of assisting talented musicians of the colored race. "I know," said Mrs. Hackley, who was very attractive in a severe gray tailor-made suit, that Booker T. Washington is not enthusiastic about training our race to anything except the industrial arts. But we are distinctly a musical race, and there is great undeveloped talent among us. The gift of song is almost universal among colored people, and it has been my experience, when training white and colored pupils, that, other things being equal, a colored girl will learn to sing in a third of the time it takes a white girl. I have taught more than a thousand young people in this country and in London and Paris, and have found the colored students particularly quick and accurate and full-toned in choral work, "Therefore, I am advocating colored choruses for musical festivals, and, where we have been able to get the young people for chorus singing, the results wore marvelously beautiful. "They can all sing, and with a little training they can sing the masterpieces acceptably. It is my plan to establish choruses in dif- ferent cities, and finally to have several cities come annually or blennially togather in music festivals, "Clarence White, who appeared in concert a few years ago in St. Paul, is now completing his violin studies in Paris, and will undoubtebly make a concert tour of the United States when he returns. The Hackley scholarship was ectablished for the purpose of educating such as he, and I am happy to say that many thoughtful white persons have contributed to it. In her concert sang in St. Paul Mrs. Hackley a brilliant and varied program, beginning with the polonaise from "Mignon" and comprising Goring-Thomas, "A Summer Night," an aria from "The Barber of Seville" Liza Lehmann "Cuckoo Song" Massenet's "Le Cid," a spring song by Henchel which Mrs. Hackley studied with the composer, Japanese Scotch and English songs, and finally a little negro ditty. A SPLENDID EXHIBITION On Tuesday evening at 8:15 accompanied by our wife and Mrs. Robt. Davis we attended the Moving Picture exhibition of Capt S. W. Jones at 535 N Main We saw two exhibitions first next "Nero and the burning of Rome." Either exhibition was more than worth the price of admission. These exhibitions are of the highest type and portrary biblical and historical narratives both interesting and instructive. They are a credit to the colored people and every man should take his wife and children to see them. The pictures shown are such that they would be a credit to be seen in any church or parlor. It is a splendid place to spend an hour profitable with your family or your best girl. Now that the colored people have a first-class place of intellegent of amusement they should show their appreciation by patronizing it. It is well worth the time and more than worth the money and then again, above all you are going where you will receive a warm and hearty welcome and not be scoffed at or discriminated against. A WORD OF WARNING The campaign for the selection of officers in this state and country is now almost at hand. There will, no doubt, be candidates galore for each office. We wish at the very threshold of this important occasion to drop a word of warning to onr people and urge them the imperative necessity of not being too hasty in making their choice from Governor down. There is one thing that in all probability will be true in this campaign as in many others—there will likely be no colored man a candidate for any office and since that be true the colored people can to good advantage take good time and look well before making any choice—to do so they will have nothing to lose and probably much to gain. The greatest political mistake which the colored voters have made in the past is that they have too hurridly made a choice—ottimes determental to their very best interests. If we can get their ear—which we believe we can—we now urge them to avoid that mistake this year by taking a more sober and deliberate thought of each office before deciding. If we have any political friends we should take time to find them—because they are not thick on the surface—if we have no political friends we should take time on deciding our course. Let us approach this snbject soberly, cannudly, impassionately and squarely—yet firmly resolutely, determmately and with a well fixed purpose and aim. PUBLIC INSTALLATION Mt. Nebo Temple No. 7 will hold the public installation of their officers at the AME church on Tuesday night, May 31st. Every one is cordially invited to come out and witness this grand and noteworthy affair. MAY 21 1910. A MIRROR FACTORY FOR WICHITA A New and Worthy Enterprise Added To The Many Industries Gf Our Great And Growing City At 741 N. Main St. there is now established a factory for the manufacture of all kinds mirrors and the re-silvering of old ones and making them good as new. The company is formed citizens of Wichita who have made a success in other lines and whose working motto has always bsen 'good goods and square dealing' They are in position to make estimates on all kinds of Plate or Common glass work and picture framming; having installed some of the most newly designed and best machines to be found A member of the firm has just returned from St. Louis, where he purchased a fine stock of imported French Plate glass, Pictures Mouldings and supplies of all kinds, and will soon have the most complete and up-to-date establishment of its kind west of Kansas City. This is an institution that Wichita has long been in need of and, no doubt, will be appreciated by the furniture dealers and the citizens who may have mirrors that have gone bad As the work can be done and delivered at once, and the silvering artist claims that his process, a German one, and that there is no better on earth.

E Church last Sunday surpassed the fondest expectations of ever the most hopeful. A slow, cold, drizzly rain fall all day long and far into the evening which made traveling very disagreeable, and aside from the damp weather the chilly winds added to the weather's inclementy, yet in spite of the rain and the cold a crowd of enthusiasts and friends filled the church at each of the services during the day. At 11 a. m. Rev O. E. Jones D. D. pastor of the [Picture of a man with a mask] PASTOR A. M.E. CHURCH Who Has Twice Led His Church In A Record Making Rally. HIS CHURCH FREE FROM DEBT. A. M, E. Church of Kansas City Kansas, who came in the stead of Bishop A. Grant, who was unable to be present, filled the pulpit. Rev. Jones is recognized as one of powerful preacher of the A. M. E. connection and he acquitted himself masterfully. At 3 p. m. Rev. W.H. Tillman D. D one of the most logical, plain, and eloquent speakers of whom the pulpit can boast, filled rostrum and held his audience spell bound from beginning to end. At 7 p. m. the Christian Endeaver League, with Hon. Thos, Glover its faithful president presiding, held a very interisting meeting at which Rev. Dr. O. E. Jones, president of the Distric Leagues made a few timely and well accepted remarks Again at 8 p. m. before a crowded house Rev. Dr. O. E. Jones filled the pulpit. His sermon was bibical scientific logical, instructive and eloquent and pleased all who were fortunate to hear him. Rev. Jones is surely a great preacher sent from God. At the conclusion of the evening services the last and final efforts of the various clubs were made to raise all possible prepar atory to making their final reports. When all had been collected the money raised was reported as follows:- Club No, 1 W. C. Neeley, Capt. $72.00 ,,,, 2 Mrs Carry Baker Capt. 73.00 ,,,, 3 Ed. Landrum Capt 68.50 ,,,, 4 Mrs. Mollie Miller Capt 137.84 ,,,, 5 Mrs. Emma Jones Capt 105.15 ,,,, 6 J. W. Thompson Capt 58.25 Young People Mrs. T.

Much credit is due Rev. Jas. T. Smith, the inspiring and splendid pastor of St, Paul A. M. E. Church and his captains and the members for the most phenomenal success of this rally. Every part and every department of this large church worked in perfect unison and as of one accord which was the keynote of their success. Is The Negro Growing Rich? According to Booker T. Washington, the negroes in the South own more than nineteen million acres of land—an area as large as the whole of New England, excluding Maine. The taxable psperty which they hold in the North Carolina has increased in the last twento-one years from $5,000,000 to $21,000,000, and in Georgia in twentyseven years from $5,000,000 to $28,000,000 He estimates, further, that fifty-seven per cent of the negroes in this country can read and write as compared to three per cent at the time of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. Since he became a freed man, the negro has contributed $45,000,000 in taxes for his own education, and through his churches he has contributed $25,000,000 more for education in various denominational schools. The American India, on the other hand, has cost the government about $10,000,000 annually for subsistence and police protection alone. There are to day over fourteen thousand negro brick and stone masons earning a livelihood. Negroes own ten thousand dry goods stares groceries and shoe stores, over two hundred drug stores, and forty-seven banks. —Leslie's Weekly. That Thing Called Love By JEANNE OLIVE LOIZEAUX (Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary Press.) Dr. Thomas Denman, on his way from a call, stopped at the first good cafe he passed, hung up his fur coat and cap, and looked about the crowded place for a seat. The pre-Christmas stir of gayety and hurry irritated him —why should the world hurry? It was, he thought, making the usual bustle about nothing. Then he saw an empty chair at a small side table and walked over to it, asking permission to sit opposite the little old lady on the other side. She bowed graciously and let the waiter give her some soup. by taking care of one secretly in my heart the world's multitude and wicked! Kate me. She is a delic cherished. She is t —oh, of course, I c —in war time a man ties him from know." The woman nodded standingly. "Yes," from many years back only man in the we The meal passed in silence save for an occasional word of courtesy in passing salt or sugar, and the little lady began to study the anxious young face before her. Why did this big, blonde, healthy young man eat so little? She noted the fine, trained white hand crumbling a piece of bread—the surgeon's hand. He was so manifestly worried and unhappy that her always open heart went out to him. Would he, young enough to be her son, resent a question? "Excuse me," she finally ventured, "but are you ill—or in trouble?" He glanced up, surprised, but his face cleared to a sort of whimsical gratitude. He suddenly wished for a mother—like this woman. Of course, his own mother was dead—he liked to think that she would never have left him nameless in an orphanage—surely no mother would do that! He smiled at the little old lady ruefully. "It has been called a disease," he replied. "And isn't it trouble to be engaged to one girl and very much afraid you are in love with another? What would you advise your son in such a case?" He waited in silence while the waiter changed his plate. "Suppose you tell me what the case is?" she suggested in a low, inviting tone. He hesitated a moment, then concluded to do the unheard-of thing, for he never talked about himself even to a friend. "Well, since you're so good—I'm a doctor—been practicing three years, and just beginning to make good. I don't know who I am. I was left unnamed at an orphanage. I ran away at ten, named myself, and worked my way through college. Then I did charity work in a clinic for the slums and learned the sorrows of the poor I probably came from originally. A rich man interested in philanthropy gave me money to study in Europe. I came back and established myself and have repaid him every cent. Also I am engaged to his only daughter—I met her in settlement work. She is wrapped up in it. She is lovely and kind. She has a heart and brains, and money and position—we could help each other, and our joined forces would be a power. I wanted to be a helper, for I have suffered in loneliness and want. And I thought I loved her—we became firm friends. And then—I found the other girl, and I don't know how to tell Helen—I can't." He looked up apologetically. "Tell me about the other girl. You will never see me again." "I found her desperately ill with pneumonia in a clinical hospital, where she was taken from a students' boarding house. It looked a hopeless case, but I pulled her through by sheer force of purpose, I believe. I don't see yet why she lives! She is a mere child—only eighteen—and nearly through business college. She is so very pretty it makes me shudder to have her go to work in an office. And she is delicate. She is an orphan, and I know her money must be almost gone. She insisted on paying me, and was insulted at the smallness of my bill. She will barely speak to me. I know she still needs care, but the last time I called while passing she refused to see me. And—well—confound the thing called love," he muttered. "I do beg your pardon! I forgot myself." The old lady leaned forward invitingly over the table. "Who takes care of her?" she asked. "That's what's taking the life out of me—that cheap boarding house. What can I do? I can't send her a check, neither can I buy beefsteak and shoes and warm clothing for her—unless I marry her. And there are hundreds as badly off as she. She is as proud and upright as a flower. I don't even dare send her the smallest sort of present. She seemed even at the hospital to be on the watch lest I do one thing for her not required by law. Do you suppose my feeling can be—merely pity? For, you see, with Helen's help I could take care of a hundred girls like that. Helen has the means and I have the ability." The fine old face grew thoughtful. "Why not tell Helen about her and let her look after her?" "Why—I—never thought of it! Would it be fair to—Kate? I don't think she would like to have another woman—know she needed anything! Wouldn't she feel like that?" he stammered sadly. "But you must tell Kate how you feel, and immediately. She has a right to know. Doubtless she will be able to set you right." He picked ruefully at his salad. "I don't believe you understand how I feel. I want to be a helper in the world. And it seems selfish to stop by the way simply to make myself happy Then he came to himself. by taking care of one little girl. I have secretly in my heart pledged myself to the world's multitudes of sick and poor and wicked! Kate could never help me. She is a delicate flower to be cherished. She is the sweetest thing—oh, of course, I can't tell you! Only—in war time a man does not let heart ties keep him from the battle, you know." The woman nodded her head understandingly. "Yes," she reflected, as from many years back. "I know. The only man in the world for me—married the girl he was engaged to before he met me. He thought it was right. I have never had anybody of my own. And—I saw him lose in the battle. Only love is the real secret of strength. Abnegation carries its lesson, but it is not always right. Think about what I say. Does Helen love you?" "I—I am—afraid—she does." "And Kate?" He flushed hotly. "I hope you don't think me cadd enough to have found out! I hope I never made a sign of my feeling for her! You make me—hate myself!" The old lady had arisen and the young man was helping her into her cloak. "I'm going now, young man, but remember what I say. No woman thanks a man for marrying her to keep a promise. Probably Helen already doubts your feeling for her! Another thing—you cannot give love out to a loveless world unless you have a real home to find love in. And love is not a matter of dollars, or of position, or even of ability and philanthropy—it is a thing wholly spiritual. Follow your heart! Good-by, now." She held out her hand. "I want you to go straight to Helen and tell her. Will you?" He walked back to his office. As he went to the phone on his desk to call Helen and ask when he could see her, his eye fell on a letter from her left there by the postman in his absence. He opened it wonderingly. "Dear Tom: I start tonight for six months abroad and leave this to be mailed after I am gone. You don't love me. I am slow, but I have seen it for some time. I will not pretend that I am not hurt, but I will say that I am strong and shall get over it. After all, I believe we would have made a mistake—a doctor needs a home woman. I want my work. You need some flower of a thing to make a sanctuary for you. I don't know who she is, but I've a feeling that you have found her. "HELEN." He sat dazed awhile, then he closed the office and took a car for little Kate's boarding house. She at first refused to see him, but he sent the greasy landlady back to say he would stay until she did. Then she came down wrapped in a big shawl, weak—and proud. Her transparent cheek flushed under his gaze, her eyes fell. She would not come to his outstretched arms, so he went to her and enfolded her, and held her close while he told her all that lay in his heart. Presently she was clinging to him as if she could never let him go. And he didn't mind in the least that the fat, frowsy landlady was certainly listening at the door. The Calf Man of the West. The west is cursed with the calf man. As a rule he does not do much and sits around in the shade telling how he is oppressed. He says he is a hard worker and a good honest man, but combinations have been formed against him, principally by the plutocracy of New York and London, and as a result he does not prosper. The calf man does everything right in his own estimation. He is smart and competent and industrious, but the plutocracy has combined against him and he suffers. Another complaint of the calf man is that corn is only 70 cents a bushel. The calf man has no corn to sell, but he is big hearted and wants to help the farmers. We do not remember a time when the calf man was not indignant about something. Nothing suits him and he does nothing himself but take up the time of busy people in telling of his complaints. The calf man is always in debt, but it is not his fault; it is the fault of the plutocracy. The calf man is willing to pay his debts and spend money liberally and make times good if the plutocracy and the British would only let him. But the plutocracy and the British will not let him alone and he will continue to bawl until the end of time.—Atchison Globe. Automobile Repartee. A New Yorker was on his way to the club for luncheon. Just as he was turning the corner of Forty-second street and Broadway, a wild-looking urchin of the hatless, shoeless type shot around the corner, bumping him with full force. The impact being so sudden, it knocked off the man's hat and sent the boy into the gutter, when the New Yorker—after regaining his breath—said: "My young man, if you would throttle your carburetor and gear down to second speed you wouldn't skid so." The boy jumped up, looking himself all over. "Well," he said, "I am not punctured, anyhow." "No," answered the man, "but you have had a h—— of a blowout." The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE BAY HOME Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is willing to doubt, the highest prices on these books and all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 154 Fifth Ave, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. In all the large cities of the United States there has been an exodus this spring into the suburbs and the country. The movement in this direction every spring is pronounced, but this spring it has been nothing short of marvelous. This is true of every large town and city. The increased cost of living has had some influence, a large influence, in fact. The increase in rents is another controlling factor. In some of the large cities the cost of apartments in neighborhoods that one must seek who has a family to raise is as high as $10 a room. This to the man of moderate salary is ruinous, taken in connection with mutton chops at 32 cents a pound. There is a natural gravitation toward the country, and it is a hopeful sign, for children are to have purer air, more freedom to romp. The little folks who have been imprisoned in flats with never a sight of green grass are coming into their own. The writer wishes that all of them might be emancipated from the flat. The United States is a nation of home builders and this general movement to the suburbs is but the natural result of that innate longing for a home. In most cases the heads of families are compelled by convenience of location, proximity to car lines, etc., to keep their families in flats rather than to go out into God's own green country, but the conditions this spring have compelled them to forego the matter of convenience and get out. Their children are to be congratulated. THE HOME OF THE MAYOR The race is to be congratulated also, because these children will grow up to be better men and women than they would in the crowded city. In the matter of the selection of a design for a house the first requisite is the needs of a family. A house should be designed from the inside and not from the outside. The wife and mother should be consulted first about the arrangement of the rooms—she will be the court of last resort anyway and will have her way, so plan it that way at the outset. She is the one to be consulted, for it is she who will live in the house more than you will. She will be there all day with the children and PORCH BEDROOM 14 x 13 ft KITCHEN 14 x 10 ft BATH 9' 16" PANTRY 3' 14" BEDROOM 15' 13" HALL 6' 10" DINING ROOM 14 x 13 ft PABLOIR 18 x 13 ft PORCH Floor Plan it is her convenience that is to be consulted. If the arrangement can be made to make her work lighter, that is to be desired. We mere men are the last on earth to be considered. Any old place will do us. We provide and make the others happy. If they are happy that is all we want—all we deserve. So let your wife plan the house to begin with, as she will anyway. Here is a house that probably will make a hit with her. Possibly if you tell her you do not like it she will decide she wants it. If you like it that is a good plan. The house had a width of 37 feet 6 inches and a length of 47 feet 6 inches. It is just the kind of a house that commends itself to people who are looking for coziness. All the rooms are on one floor. That of itself commends the plan. This --- building can be made of frame and plastered on the exterior with cement mortar in the proportions of one part cement to two parts of sand. That will make a finish that will be durable and attractive; besides, it will require no paint or other repairs in the future: There is an ample porch and the general design so far as the exterior is concerned is pleasing. From the porch you enter a hall of good size and to the right of this is the dining-room, which is 14 feet by 15 feet in dimensions. At the right is the parlor, which has a fireplace in one corner. Back of this room is a bedroom. The arrangement of the bedrooms, another being provided in the rear, will commend the plan to many. A bathroom is placed between the two. Between the dining-room and the kitchen the pantry is seen in the plan. Shelves and drawers can be placed to make the conveniences all that could be desired. This house will make a fine appearance if placed in a large lot. Ample room should be provided for shrubbery and garden space. If the house can be placed at one side or well back so much the better for its appearance, for the design will lend itself readily to any scheme of decoration. NEW FAD OF PARIS WOMEN Mme. Rejane Has Started a Craze for Lectures, and the Frivolous Rejoice. The conference craze has strongly developed within the last six months in Paris. It was Mme. Rejane who unconsciously started this fashion among women. This clever actress had a fancy to give a lecture in the theater that THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER bears her name. The hall was filled with what is termed an all Paris audience, and the lecture was supposed to be on some old Russian author; but nobody, least of all Mme Rejane, troubled at all about the Russian and still less about the lecture. According to the Gentlewoman Mme Rejane had come to be seen, not to be heard and the audience had every reason to be pleased with what they saw. The staging, indeed, had been done in a masterly manner. Several screens of a delicate pink hue had been so arranged as to place the lecturer in full view of the audience, as in a kind of boudoir. The lecturer was seated behind a beautiful table on which stood a vase filled with pink flowers, while a pile of books, also bound in pink and supposed to be works by the before-mentioned Russian, were tastefully scattered about the table. These books were never opened by the lecturer, nor was there any use for the chiseled inkstand, for the huge new art penholder, the artistic paper cutter and other utensils pertaining to the world of letters, but they imparted a serious tone to the ensemble. It is almost needless to say that Mme. Rejane's gown and hat were pictures in themselves. Balance of Power In Funnels The peoples of the Persian gulf and its neighborhood judge not only the ship but the nation that owns her by the number of smokestacks sported. They had a belief in the might of Britain until a German warship came along with three funnels to our one. Then they believed in Germany; but we regained our lost prestige by sending the four-funneled Powerful and Terrible around and have kept our position ever since. Now when our multifunneled sleeping volcanoes are anywhere in the neighborhood their standing orders are to show themselves to the people, however much they may have to go off their course in so doing. Germany may get ahead of us yet by sending down a ship with six funnels, and a building duel may arise between the two nations, ending in a parade in the east of warships with lines of chimneys from stem to stern.—Pall Mal' Gazette. The KITCHEN GABINET IVE us to awake with smiles, give us to labor smiling. Cleaning of Rugs. One of the greatest mistakes that many women make in cleaning rugs is to hang them on a line. If the rug is heavy it is sure to pull apart, leaving a ridge that can never be quite smooth again. Another mistake is the beating on the wrong side of rugs that are made with the threads exposed on the under side. This beating breaks the threads and then we wonder why our rugs wear out so soon. A good oriental rug should last a lifetime if it is properly cared for. Lay the rug flat on the grass, beat and sweep it with the pile; sweeping against the pile roughs it and ruins the rug. Shaking a rug with fringe snaps off the fringe in a very short time. Carpets and rugs may be worn out in a short time simply by the sweeping. It is not necessary to sweep with all one's might, light strokes remove the dust with much less wear on floor coverings, to say nothing of muscular tissue. Carpets and rugs may be brightened by wiping with a cloth wrung out of ammonia water. Two tablespoonfuls of ammonia to a six quart pall of water. If one fears moths, a good way to completely annihilate them is to put a damp cloth along the edge of the carpet where they always work, and press with a hot iron. The steam kills the moths and it takes but a short time to go all around the room. OTHER earth can dispense with some classes. Brush wielders, ink slingers may go; But she can't spare that friend of the masses. She must have the man with the hoe." - Edward Berwick Gelatine Dishes. Gelatine in its raw state is collagen, a transparent, tasteless substance which at one time was thought to be rich in nutritive qualities. It is obtained from the bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments of animals. By boiling with water the collogen is changed into gelatine. Gelatine is softened in cold water, but dissolves in hot water. Boiling it will decompose it so that it will not solidify on cooling. Gelatine may be used in many kinds of desserts. It is also added to sherbets and ice creams to give them body. A simple dessert of fruit and fruit juices with gelatine may be molded and served with whipped cream, making an appetizing and nutritive dish. Little Economies Grate any bits of left over cheese and keep in a glass jar to use for flavoring in escalloped dishes for souffles and toasted crackers. Bread crumbs may be kept covered if dry, and will be ready to use for the numberless dishes in which crumbs are indispensable. Save the bones of all meats for broth. Chicken feet makes a good gelatine that may be used with chicken and hard cooked eggs, in a loaf, or as a salad. Treat a tough steak to a slashing with a sharp knife, sprinkle with flour and broil in a hot frying pan, carefully greased. Bacon and Catsun Take nicely sliced bacon and trim free of rind. Place slices in a baking pan and place in oven. (You will find that by baking instead of frying your bacon it is much more tender and requires less tending.) When done—not too brown—remove each piece from fat onto a platter (one that may be placed in the oven.) Pour over each slice a generous quantity of tomato catup, return to oven about five minutes. Serve while hot. Hashed Potatoes. Wash, pare and chop fine one pint of potatoes. Let them stand ten minutes in cold water. Drain, then put two tablespoonfuls of butter or bacon fat into a hot spider, add the potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, add one tablespoonful of vinegar and cover closely. Let them cook until tender, on the back of the stove. Before serving, brown, fold and turn out. Garnish with parsley. Household Hints To kill files: Dissolve 318 grains of blechromate of potash in ten ounces of water, sweetened with sugar and placed in shallow pans. Air all woolen clothing, letting the sunshine do its perfect work, for the spring is the reason to look out for moths again. Penuchie. One cup milk, one cup brown sugar, one tablespoon butter, one teaspoon vanilla. Scald milk, add brown sugar, cook until thick. When thick add butter. Beat until creamy. Pour into buttered pans, put in cool place to harden, then cut into squares. DEALS are like stars-you will not succeed in tourb ing them with touches hands, but like the seafaring man on the hands, but like the seafaring man on the hands, and follow those who choose them as your guides, and follow those who reach your destiny."—Carl Schurz Bananas. Bananas are a cheap fruit, available all the year round. There are many dishes such as salads, desserts and entrees that the banana may be used in with appetizing results. As a shortcake it is very good, adding a touch of lemon juice and salt to the bananas to give them character. As a salad, cut a banana in halves, roll in chopped nuts, lay on a lettuce leaf and serve with a mayonnaise which makes a good salad. Bananas with oranges and dates make another nice salad. A nice confection which is new and very good is made by stewing prunes until soft, stuffing with a piece of banana to take the place of the stone; roll in chopped nuts and sugar. Orange Jelly This is a dessert that is a great favorite with invalids. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelatine in one-half cup of cold water, then add one and one-half cups of boiling water, one cupful of sugar, one and one-half cups of orange juice, and three tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, turn into a mold and let stand until firm. Lemon, coffee and cider may all be made into dainty jellies by the use of gelatine. Prune Pie. A dessert that is delicious and one easy to prepare is made by baking a shell for a ple, fill it with stewed prunes. Cover with a meringue made of whites of eggs—two will be sufficient—and three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Bake until a light brown. Whipped cream may take the place of the meringue. HOUGH MAN a thinking being is defined. Few use the grand prerogative of mind. How few think justly of the thinking few? How many never think, who think they do." —Jane Taylor. Maple Sugar If one has ever had the privilege of visiting a real old-fashioned maple sugar camp, they have realized something for which many sigh. The modern methods have done away with the boiling of the sap in a great iron kettle, but the sirup tastes quite as good, and the sugar makes in the same old way on pans of snow. The sap is gathered from the bright tn palms and put into a great hoghead on wheels, drawn by a horse. It is then carried to the house where it is cooked in great boilers until it is a thick sirup. This sirup may be cooked still longer until the sugar forms. Maple sugar and sirup may be used in so many appetizing dishes. As a filling for cake there is nothing more delicious than maple sugar or sirup cooked with cream, adding nuts. For an ice cream sauce, use a pound of maple sugar, one cup of thin cream, two tablespoonfuls of butter. Boil without stirring, until it forms a soft waxy ball when dropped in cold water. Keep hot by standing in a pan of hot water. It will candy on the ice cream just as hot sirup does on the snow in sugaring time. One of the most delicious of frozen dishes is made as follows: Maple Parfait Beat four eggs slightly, and pour on slowly one cupful of hot maple sirup. Cook until the egg is set, no longer, cool and add one plint of thick cream beaten until stiff. Mold, pack in ice and let stand three hours. One may freeze this, as any ice cream. Serve it with chopped nuts and thick maple sirup. A Good Stew. Cut up two potatoes in thin slices. Fry one sliced onion in a little chicken fat until a light brown. Add the onion to the potatoes, with a pint of chicken broth made from the bones, a cupful of tomatoes, cook until tender, add a little butter, salt and pepper and the stew will be good enough for anybody. Nellie Maxwell. Proud of Her Life Work. Mme. Marle Kraus-Bolte has just celebrated her fifteenth anniversary in kindergarten work. Mme. Kraus-Bolte was a pupil of Frau Froebel, and speaking of her early experience said "I was almost afraid to come to America. I was afraid of the Indians, whom I was sure I would meet in America. I have always been glad that I overcame this groundless fear. I shall keep right straight on with my kindergarten work, and some people tell me I am good for 50 years longer." The celebration was given by the Kraus Alumnae association, which is comprised of pupils of Mme. Kraus Bolte. "THE STAR" B H.G.WELLS A TALE OF THE COMET T WAS on the first day of the new year that the announcement was made, almost simultaneously from three observatories, that the motion of the planet Neptune, the outermost of all the planets that wheeled about the sun, had become erratic. Ogilvy had already called attention to a suspected retardation in its velocity in December. Such a piece T WAS on the first day of the new year that the announcement was made, almost simultaneously from three observatories, that the motion of the planet Neptune, the outmost of all the planets that wheeled about the sun, had become erratic. Ogilvy had already called attention to a suspected retardation in its velocity in December. Such a piece of news was scarcely calculated to interest a world the greater portion of whose inhabitants were unaware of the existence of the planet Neptune, nor outside the astronomical profession did the subsequent discovery of a faint remote speck of light in the region of the perverted planets cause any great excitement. Scientific people, however, found the intelligence remarkable enough, even before it became known that the new body was rapidly grawing larger and brighter, that its motion was quite different from the orderly progress of the planets and that the deflection of Neptune and its satellite was becoming now of an unprecedented kind. Few people without a training in science can realize the huge isolation of the solar system. The sun with its specks of planets, its dust of planetoids and its impalpable comets swims in a vacant immensity that almost defeats the imagination. Beyond the orbit of Neptune there is space, vacant so far as human observation has penetrated, without warmth or light or sound, blank emptiness, for twenty million times a million miles. That is the smallest estimate of the distance to be traversed before the nearest of the stars is attained. And, saving a few comets more unsubstantial than the thinnest flame, no matter had ever to human knowledge crossed this gulf of space, until early in the twentieth century this strange wanderer appeared. A vast mass of matter it was, bulky, heavy, rushing without warning out of the black mystery of the sky into the radiance of the sun. By the second day it was clearly visible to any decent instrument, as a speck with a barely sensible diameter, in the constellation Leo near Regulus. In a little while an opera glass could attain it. On the third day of the new year the newspaper readers of two hemispheres were made aware for the first time of the real importance of this unusual apparition in the heavens. "A Planetary Collision," one London paper headed the news, and proclaimed Duchaine's opinion that this strange new planet would probably collide with Neptune. The leader writers enlarged upon the topie. So that in most of the capitals of the world, on January 3, there was an expectation, however vague, of some imminent phenomenon in the sky; and as the night followed the sunset round the globe thousands of men turned their eyes skyward to see—the old familiar stars just as they had always been. Until it was dawn in London and Pollux setting and the stars overhead grown pale. The winter's dawn it was, a sickly, filtering accumulation of daylight, and the light of gas and candles shone yellow in the windows to show where people were astir. But the yawning policeman saw the thing, the busy crowds in the market stopped agape, workmen going to their work betimes, milkmen, the drivers of news carts, dissipation going home jaded and pale, homeless wanderers, sentinels on their beats, and in the country, laborers trudging afield, poachers slinking home, all over the dusky, quickening country it could be seen—and out at sea by seamen watching for the day—a great white star, come suddenly into the westward sky! Brighter it was than any star in our skies; brighter than the evening star at its brightest. It still glowed out white and large, no mere twinkling spot of light, but a small, round, clear, shining disk, an hour after the day had come. And where science has not reached, men stared and feared, telling one another of the wars and pestilences that are foreshadowed by these fiery signs in the heavens. Sturdy Boers, dusky Hottentots, Gold Coast negroes, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Portuguese, stood in the warmth of the sunrise watching the setting of this strange new star. And in a hundred observatories there had been suppressed excitement, rising almost to shouting pitch, as the two remote bodies had rushed together, and a hurrying to and fro to gather photographic apparatus and spectroscope, and this appliance and that, to record this novel, astonishing sight, the destruction of a world. For it was a world, a sister planet of our earth, far greater than our earth indeed, that had so suddenly flashed into flaming death. Neptune it was, had been struck, fairly and squarely, by the strange planet from outer space and the heat of the concussion had incontinently turned two solid globes into one vast mass of incandescence. Round the world that day, two hours before the dawn, went the palid great white star, fading only as it sank westward and the sun mounted above it. Everywhere men marveled at it, but of all those who saw it none could have marveled more than those sailors, habitual watchers of the stars, who far away at sea had heard nothing of its advent and saw it now rise like a pigmy moon and climb zenithward and hang overhead and sink westward with the passing of the night. And when next it rose over Europe everywhere were crowds of watchers on hills slopes, on house roofs, in open spaces, staring eastward for the rising of the great new star. It rose with a white glow in front of it, like the glare of a white fire, and those who had seen it come into existence the night before cried out at the sight of it. "It is larger," they cried "it is brighter!" And indeed the moon a quarter full and sinking in the west was in its apparent size beyond comparison, but scarcely in all its breadth had it as much brightness now as the little circle of the strange new star. "It is brighter!" cried the people clustering in the streets. But in the dim observatories the watchers held their breath and peered at one another. "It is nearer," they said. "Nearer." And voice after voice repeated, "It is nearer," and the clicking telegraph took that up, in trembled along telephone wires, and in a thousand cities grimy compositors fingered the type. "It is nearer." Men writing in offices, struck with a strange realization flung down their pens, men talking in a thousand places suddenly came upon a grotesque possibility in those words, "It is nearer." It hurried along awakening streets, it was shouted down the frost-stilled ways of quiet villages, men who had read these things from the throbbing tape stood in yellow-lit doorways shouting the news to the passers-by. "It is nearer." Pretty women, flushed and glittering, heard the news told festingly between the dances and feigned an intelligent interest they did not feel. "Nearer! Indeed. How curious! How clever people must be to find out things like that." Lonely tramps faring through the wintry night murmured those words to comfort themselves—looking skyward. "It has need to be nearer, for the night's as cold as charity. Don't seem much warmth from it if it is nearer, all the same." "What is a new star to me?" cried the weeping woman kneeling beside her dead. The schoolboy, rising early for his examination work, puzzled it out for himself—with the great white star shining broad and bright through the frost-flowers of his window. "Centrifugal, centripetal," he said, with his chin on his fist. "Stop a planet in its flight, rob it of its centrifugal force, what then? Centripetal has it, and down it falls into the sun! And this—!" "Do we come in the way. I wonder—" Do we come in the way, I wonder—the light of that day went the way of its brethren and with the later watches of the frosty darkness rose the strange star again. And it was now so bright that the waxing moon seemed but a pale, yellow ghost of itself, hanging huge in the sunset. In a South African city a great man had married and the streets were alight to welcome his return with his bride. "Even the skies have illuminated," said the flatterer. Under Capricorn, two negro lovers, daring the wild beasts and evil spirits, for love of one another, crouched together in a cane brake where the firefiles hovered. "That is our star," they whispered, and felt strangely comforted by the sweet brilliance of its light. The master mathematician sat in his private room and pushed the papers from him. His calculations were already finished. In a small white phial there still remained a little of the drug that had kept him awake and active for four long nights. Each day, serene, explicit and patient as ever, he had given his lecture to his students and then had come back at once to his momentous calculation. His face was grave, a little drawn, and hectic from his drugged activity. For some time he seemed lost in thought. Then he went to the window and the blind went up with a click. Half way up the sky, over the clustering roofs, chimneys and steeples of the city, hung the star. He looked at it as one might look into the eye of a brave enemy. "You may kill me," he said after a silence; "but I can hold you—and all the universe, for that matter—in the grip of this little brain. I would not change. Even now." He looked at the little phial. "There will be no need of sleep again," he said. The next day at noon, punctual to the minute, he entered his lecture theater, put his hat on the end of the table as his habit was, and carefully selected a large piece of chalk. It was a joke among his students that he could not lecture without that piece of chalk to fumble in his fingers, and once he had been stricken to impotence by their hiding his supply. He came and looked under his gray eyebrows at the rising tiers of young, fresh faces, and spoke with his accustomed studied commonness of phrasing. "Circumstances have arisen—circumstances beyond my control," he said, and paused, "which will debar me from completing the course I had designed. It would seem, gentlemen, if I may put the thing clearly and briefly, that—man has lived in vain." The students glanced at one another. Had they heard aright? Mad? Raised eyebrows and grinning lips there were, but one or two faces remained intent upon his calm, gray-fringed face. "It will be interesting," he was saying, "to devote this morning to an exposition, so far as I can make it clear to you, of the calculations that have led me to this conclusion. Let us assume—" He turned toward the blackboard, meditating a diagram in the way that was usual to him. "What was that about 'lived in vain'?" whispered one student to another. "Listen," said the other, nodding toward the lecturer. And presently they began to understand. That night the star rose later, for its proper eastward motion had carried it some way across Leo toward Virgo and its brightness was so great that the sky became a luminous blue as it rose and every star was hidden in its turn, save only Jupiter near the zenith, Capella, Aldebaran, Sirius and the pointers of the Bear. It was white and beautiful. In many parts of the world that night a pallid halo encircled it about. It was perceptibly larger; in the clear refractive sky of the tropics it seemed as if it were nearly a quarter the size of the moon. The frost was still on the ground in England, but the world was as brightly lit as if it were midsummer moonlight. One could see to read quite ordinary print by that cold, clear light, and in the cities the lamps burnt yellow and wan. And everywhere the world was awake that night, and throughout Christendom a somber murmur hung in the keen air over the countryside like the belling of bees in the heather, and this murmurous tumult grew to a clangor in the cities. It was the toling of the bells in a million belfry towers and steeples, summoning the people to sleep no more, to sin no more, but to gather in their churches and pray. And overhead, growing larger and brighter, as the earth rolled on its way and the night passed, rose the dazzling star. And the streets and houses were alight in all the cities, the shipyards glared, and whatever roads led to high country were lit and crowded all night long. And in all the seas about the civilized lands ships with throbbing engines and ships with bellying sails, crowded with men and living creatures, were standing out to ocean and the north. For already the warning of the master mathematician had been telegraphed all over the world and translated into a hundred tongues. The new planet and Neptune, locked in a fiery embrace, were whirling headland, ever faster and faster, toward the sun. Already every second this blazing mass flew a hundred miles, and every second its terrific velocity increased. As it flew now, indeed, it must pass a hundred million of miles wide of the earth and scarcely affect it. But near its destined path, as yet only slightly perturbed, spun the mighty planet Jupiter and his moons sweeping splendid round the sun every moment now the attraction between the fiery star and the greatest of the planets grew stronger. And the result of that attraction? Inevitably Jupiter would be deflected from its orbit into an elliptical path and the burning star, swung by his attraction wide of its sunward rush, would "describe a curved path" and perhaps collide with, and certainly pass close to our earth. "Earth-quakes, volcanic outbreaks, clones, sea waves, floods, and a steady rise in temperature to I know not what limit"—so prophesied the master mathematician. And overhead, to carry out his words, lonely and cold and livid, blazed the star of the coming doom. To many who stared at it that night until their eyes ached it seemed that it was visibly approaching. And that night, too, the weather changed, and the frost that had gripped all central Europe and France and England softened towards a thaw. But you must not imagine because I have spoken of people praying through the night and people going aboard ships and people fleeing toward mountainous country that the whole world was already in a terror because of the star. As a matter of fact, use and wont still ruled the world and save for the talk of idle moments and the splendor of the night nine human beings out of ten were still busy at their common occupations. In all the cities the shops, save one here and there, opened and closed at their proper hours, the doctor and the undertaker plied their trades and workers gathered in the factories, soldiers drilled, scholars studied, lovers sought one another, thieves lurked and fled, politicians planned their schemes. The presses of the newspapers roared through the nights and many a priest of this church and that would not open his holy building to further what he considered a foolish panic. The newspapers insisted on the lesson of the year 1000—for then, too, people had anticapped the end. The star was no star—mere gas—a comet; and were it a star it could not possibly strike the earth. There was no precedent for such a thing. Common sense was sturdy everywhere, scornful, jesting, a little inclined to persecute the obdurate fearful. That night at 7:15 by Greenwich time the star would be at its nearest to Jupiter. Then the world would see the turn things would take. The master mthematician's grim warnings were treated by many as so much mere elaborate self-advertisement. Common sense at last, a little heated by argument, signified its unalterable convictions by going to bed. So, too, barbarism and savagery, already tired of the novelty, went about their nightly business and save for a howling dog here and there the beast world left the star unheeded. And yet, when at last the watchers in the European states saw the star rise, an hour later, it is true, but no larger than it had been the night before, there were still plenty awake to laugh at the master mathematician—to take the danger as if it had passed. But hereafter the laughter ceased. The star grew—it grew with a terrible steadiness hour after hour, a little larger each hour, a little nearer the midnight zenith, and brighter and brighter, until it had turned night into day. Had it come straight to the earth instead of a curved path, had it lost no velocity to Jupiter, it must have leapt the intervening gulf in a day; but as it was it took five days altogether to come by our planet. The next night it had become a third the size of the moon before it set to English eyes, and the thaw was assured. It rose over America near the size of the moon, but blinding white to look at, and hot; and a breath of hot wind blew now with its rising and gathering strength, and in Virginia and Brazil and down the St. Lawrence valley it shone intermittently through a driving reek of thunder clouds, flickering violet lightning, and hail unprecedented. In Manitoba were a thaw and devastating floods. And upon all the mountains of the earth the snow and ice began to melt that night and all the rivers coming out of high country flowed thick and turbid, and soon—in the upper reaches—with swirling trees and the bodies of beasts and men. They rose steadily, steadily in the ghostly brilliance, and came trickling over their banks at last, behind the flying population of their valleys. And along the coast of Argentina and up the South Atlantic the tides were higher than they had ever been in the memory of man and the storms drove the waters in many cases scores of miles inland, drowning whole cities. And so great grew the heat during the night that the rising of the sun was like the coming of a shadow. The earthquakes began and grew until all down America, from the Arctic circle to Cape Horn hillsides were sliding, fissures were opening and houses and walls crumbling to destruction. The whole side of Cotopaxi slipped out in one vast convulsion and a tumult of lava poured out so high and broad and swift and liquid that in one day it reached the sea. So the star, with the wan moon in its wake, marched across the Pacific, trailed the thunder storms like the hem of a robe, and the growing tidal wave that toiled behind it, frothing and eager, poured over island and island and swept them clear of men. Until that wave came at last—in a blinding light and with the breath of a furnace, swift and terrible it came—a wall 4 of water, 50 feet high, roaring hungrily, upon the long coasts of Asia, and swept inland across the plains of China. For a space the star, hotter now and larger and brighter than the sun in its strength, showed with pitiless brilliance the wide and populous country; towns and villages with their pagodas and trees, roads, wide cultivated fields, millions of sleepless people staring in helpless terror at the incandescent sky; and then, low and growing, came the murmur of the flood. And thus it was with millions of men that night—a breath fierce and scant, and the flood like a wall swift and white behind. And then death. China was lit glowing white, but over Japan and Java and all the islands of eastern Asia the great star was a ball of dull red fire because of the steam and smoke and ashes the volcanoes were spouting forth to salute its coming. Above were the lava, hot gases and ash, and below the seething floods and the whole earth swayed and rumbled with the earthquake shocks. Larger grew the star, and larger, hotter and brighter with a terrible swiftness now. The tropical ocean had lost its phosphorescence and the whirling steam rose in ghostly wreaths from the black waves that plunged incessantly, speckled with storm tossed ships. And then came a wonder. It seemed to those who in Europe watched for the rising of the star that the world must have ceased its rotation. In a thousand open spaces of down and upland the people who had fled thither from the floods and the falling houses and sliding slopes of hill watched for that rising in vain. Hour followed hour through a terrible suspense and the star rose not. Once again men set their eyes upon the old constellations they had counted lost to them forever. In England it was hot and clear overhead, though the ground quivered perpetually; but in the tropics Sirtius and Capella and Aldebaran showed through a veil of steam. Over Asia it was the star had begun to fall behind the movement of the sky and then suddenly, as it hung over India, its light had been veiled. All the plain of India from the mouth of the Indus to the mouths of the Ganges was a shallow waste of shining water that night, out of which rose temples and palaces, mounds and hills, black with people. Every minaret was a clustering mass of people, who fell one by one into the turbid waters as heat and terror overcame them. The whole land seemed a-wailing and suddenly there swept a shadow across that furnace of despair and a breath of cold wind and a gathering of clouds out of the cooling air. Men looking up, near blinded, at the star, saw that a black disk was creeping across the light. It was the moon coming between the star and the earth. And even as men cried to God at this respite, out of the east with a strange, inexplicable swiftness sprang the sun. And then star, sun and moon rushed together across the heavens. So it was that presently, to the European watchers, star and sun rose close upon each other, drove headlong for a space and then slower, and at last came to rest, star and sun merged into one glare of flame at the zenith of the sky. The moon no longer eclipsed the star, but was lost to sight in the brilliance of the sky. And though those who were still alive regarded it for the most part with that dull stupidity that hunger, fatigue, heat and despair engender, there were still men who could perceive the meaning of these signs. Star and earth had been at their nearest, had swung about one another and the star had passed. Already it was receding, swifter and swifter, in the last stage of its headlong journey downward into the sun. And then the clouds gathered, blotting out the vision of the sky; the thunder and lightning wove a garment around the world; all over the earth was such a downpour of rain as men had never seen before; and where the volcanoes flared red against the cloud canopy there descended torrents of mud. Everywhere the waters were pouring off the land, leaving mud slited ruins and the earth littered like a storm worn beach with all that had floated and the dead bodies of the men and brutes, its children. But the star had passed and men, hunger driven and gathering courage only slowly, might creep back to their ruined cities, buried granaries and sodden fields. Such few ships as had escaped the storms of that time came stunned and shattered and sounding their way cautiously through the new marks and shoals of once familiar ports. And as the storms subsided men perceived that everywhere the days were hotter than of yore and the sun larger and the moon, shrank to a third of its former size, took fourscore days between its new and new. The Martian astronomers—for there are astronomers on Mars, although they are different beings from men—were naturally profoundly interested by these things. They saw them from their own standpoint, of course. "Considering the mass and temperature of the missile that was flung through our solar system into the sun," one wrote, "it is astonishing what a little damage the earth, which it missed so narrowly, has sustained. All the familiar continental markings and the masses of the seas remain intact and indeed the only difference seems to be a shrinkage of the white discoloration (supposed to be frozen water) round either pole." Which only shows how small the vastest of human catastrophes may seem at a distance of a few million miles. (Copyright, 1910, by W. G. Chapman.) (Copyright by Doubleday & McClure company.)

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Black Duck, Minn.—"About a year ago I wrote you that I was sick and could not do any of my housework. My sickness was called Retroflexion. When I would sit down I felt as if I could not get up. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and did just as you told me and now I am perfectly cured, and have a big baby boy. my housework. My sickness was called Retroflexion. When I would sit down I felt as if I could not get up. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and did just as you told me and now I am perfectly cured, and have a big baby boy." BOX 10, Black Consider This Advice. No woman should submit to a surglical operation, which may mean death, until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made exclusively from roots and herbs, a fair trial. This famous medicine for women has for thirty years proved to be the most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. Women residing in almost every city and town in the United States bear willing testimony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It cures female ills, and creates radiant, buoyant female health. If you are ill, for your own sake as well as those you love, give it a trial. Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., invites all sick women to write her for advice. Her advice is free, and always helpful. Ella—I think those fellows are get- ting their heads together over some- thing. Stella—Yes; I guess there's some- thing in it. Ella—Which one? BABY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different families and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Sheldon, Litchfield, Conn., Oct. 23, 1909." As a nurse is compelled to listen to his own voice, we don't blame him for being a chronic kicker. Never let matters come to an open rupture. When Your Meals Disagree It is certainly time to take immediate action if you would ward off a serious sick spell. It is positive proof of a weak stomach and deranged digestion and for which you cannot take a better medicine than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters; but remember this, the longer you put off giving the assistance needed by the digestive system the harder it is going to be to cure you. We know of hundreds of cases, taken in hand at the very beginning in which a short course of the Bitters proved very efficacious. Therefore, he persuaded to get a bottle today from your druggist or dealer, and thus avoid all possible danger of a sick spell. It is a wonderful tonic and invigorant for overworked, nervous and run-down persons, and in cases of Poor Appetite, Bloating, Heartburn, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Costiveness, and Malaria it is the best. LOVE SAVED TOWN Infatuation for Girl Changed British Officer's Mind. Home of Mary Sparhawk, Whose Beauty Kept Portsmouth From Being Destroyed in 1775, Still Stands in Maine. Portland, Me.—There is an interesting tradition in connection with the historic Sparhawk house at Kittery Point, Me. This handsome specimen of colonial architecture was built by William Pepperell, the first American baronet, and was presented in 1742 to his daughter at the time of her marriage to Nathaniel Sparhawk. The house is now owned by Horace Mitchell and stands as originally planned, the most striking feature being the large hallway staircase. This was planned by Sir William, who drew every spindle. The building has been remarkably well preserved and is in far better condition than the average colonial mansion of that period. The wife of Nathaniel Sparhawk was a noted belle and her daughter, Mary Sparhawk, inherited her mother's beauty and brilliancy and many stories are told of her wit and fascination. The tradition is to the effect that Captain Mowatt of the Canceaux, a British ship of 16 guns, cruising with a large armed ship, a schooner and sloop, were off Portsmouth harbor in October, 1775, with the intention of destroying Portsmouth. Captain Mowatt went privately on shore at Kitterty point and was received at the loyal house of Nathaniel Sparhawk. Here he became so much fascinated with Mary that the intent of his voyage to destroy Portsmouth was by her influence changed and he made sail Sparhawk Mansion. for Falmouth, now Portland, where he burned more than 400 of the best houses and stores, leaving only about 100 of the poorest houses and those much damaged. Mary Sparhawk became the wife of Dr. Jarvis. The marriage was a notable event, the ceremony taking place at the house. The wedding party descended the beautiful broad stairway built by the bride's grandfather, which now stands as a lasting memorial to his skill as an architect. KNEW ALL ABOUT THE PUP But Husband of Missing Woman Had Much Difficulty in Describing Wife's Appearance. A man's voice, husky with anxiety, called up police headquarters the other night at about 2:30 a.m. It was a distraught husband begging the police to help him find his wife, who had been missing since eight o'clock in the evening. "What's her description?" asked the official at the 'phone. "Her height? Weight?" "Er—er—about average, I guess," stammered the husband. "Color of eyes?" A confused burring sound came back over the wire. "Blue or brown?" prompted the official. "I—I don't know!" "How was she dressed?" "I guess she wore her coat and hat—she took the dog with her." "What kind of a dog?" "Brindle bull terrier, weight 14½ pounds, four dark blotches on his body, shading from gray into white; a round, blackish spot over the left eye; white stub of a tail, three white legs and the right front leg nicely brindled all but the toes; a small nick in his left ear, gold filling in his upper right molar, a silver link collar with—" "That'll do," gasped the official. "We'll find the dog!"—Puck. Drugged Through the Keyhole. A robbery of the most ingenious kind has just been perpetrated at a jeweler's shop in the Rue Neuve, Brussels, which is much frequented both by day and night. Thieves entered an empty house next door, climbed along the roof, broke through the skylight of the jeweler's premises, and went downstairs. They evidently knew that the jeweler's brother, the only person in the house, slept in a room on the second floor. Working, silently they pumped soporific fumes through the keyhole of the locked door. The jeweler's brother awoke next day with a bad headache and found the room still full of the fume. On going down to the shop he found that jewels valued at $30,000 had been stolen. Alpine Monument to Professor: Alpine Monument to Professor.

LIFE-SAPPING PARASITES THAT WRECK HUMAN SYSTEM LIFE-SAPPING PARASITES THAT WRECK HUMAN SYSTEM The following remarkable statement was recently made by L. T. Cooper. It concerns the preparation which has been so widely discussed throughout the country during the past year, and has sold in such enormous quantities in leading cities: "It is now a well-known fact that wherever I have introduced my New Discovery medicine, hundreds of people have brought internal parasites, or tapeworms, to me. In many cases these people did not know the nature of the parasite, and were consequently extremely nervous until I explained the matter to them. In some cities so many have had this experience that the public generally became alarmed. "I take this opportunity of explaining what these creatures are, and what I have learned about them in the past. "Tapeworms are much more common than would be supposed. I venture to say that ten per cent, of all chronic stomach trouble, or what is known as a 'rundown' condition, is caused by them. An individual may suffer for years with one of these great parasites and not be aware of it. "Contrary to general belief, the appetite is not greatly increased—it only becomes irregular. There is a general feeling of faintness, however, and a gnawing sensation in the pit of the stomach. "People afflicted with one of these parasites are nervous and depressed. Their chief sensation is one of language, and they tire very easily. Lack of energy and ambition affect the body, and the mind becomes dull and sluggish. The memory becomes not so good, and the eyesight is generally poorer. "The New Discovery, in freeing stomach and bowels of all impurities, seems to be fatal to these great worms, and almost immediately expels them from the system. I wish to assure anyone who has the experience just related with my preparation, that there is no cause for alarm in the matter, and that it will as a rule mean a speedy restoration to good health." 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. The Jeweled Set. An actress said of Eleanor Robson: "She is a dear. She has married August Belmont. Now she is in the set that I once heard her so wittily ridicule. "She said that in conversation with a leading matron of this gilded, this jeweled set, she once said: "And where do you think you'll spend the summer, Mrs. Van Gelt?" "Er—the North Cape, I believe,' Mrs. Van Gelt answered. 'One can get skiing there all through August, you know.' "And where will you spend the winter, then?' "Oh, Florida, by all means. There's such ripping January bathing at Palm Beach.'" Shows Value of Steel Car That the steel car is of great value as a protection to passengers in the event of collision was demonstrated in a recent clash of two trains in the Hudson tunnel, New York city. There was no such telescoping as would probably have occurred with wooden cars, and the injuries were merely such as resulted from the passengers' being thrown down by the shock of the collision.

JUST A "LITTLE MITE DEAF" Circumstantial Evidence That Emma Salter Needed Some Artificial Aid in Hearing. "You know how Emma Salter used to say she was a mite deaf, but when she was real deaf she'd buy her some kind of a contrivance so's to make it easy for her friends," said Mrs. Jennings to her daughter; and the young woman nodded, forbearing to remind her mother that the span of her recollections was not precisely the duplicate of the old lady's. "She never bought one, and she never will, now," said Mrs. Jennings, who had an exhausted air. "I hollered to her all the way out to the Light, and all the way back; and while we were visitin' Mis' Gorham the sunset gun sounded and made a great noise. "I thought sure she'd hear that, and I didn't suspicion how she'd hear it till Bert Gorham come into the room a second after. "You've grown considerable heavier'n you were, Bert, Emma said to him. I heard you coming up the stairs plain as day!"—Youth's Companion. Do farmers eat the proper sort of food? The farmer of today buys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's a good thing that this is so because he has a great variety to select from. He should, however, use great care in selecting for the best results in health and strength. The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that the Quaker Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor. Farmers should give this subject careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the farm hands.

Leeches are enumerated by the bureau of statistics under its general head of animals imported, the total value of the imports of this species in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907, $6,922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905, $3,862; in 1904, $3,589; in 1903, $3,240, and in 1902, $2,412—the commerce in leeches being thus of a growing character. The total value of the leeches imported into the United States in the decade ending with 1908, is about $40,000. Leeches are imported free of duty. Snails were at one time enumerated as an article of importation, the records from 1894 to 1898 showing snails imported to the extent of about $5,000; but the snail trade so dwindled, showing only $24 of imports in 1898, that the bureau discontinued its statements of this article. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured WITH LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease, *Cataract* is a blood or constipation-related internal remedy. Hail's Cataract Cure is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous membranes. It is prescribed in the case of mucous cure. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with other ingredients to treat mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in patients.

They thought that we were astonished and smell and smoke from an oil stove, and that it heated a room just like any other stove. I told them of my experience, and one after another they got one, and now, not one of them would give hers up for five times its cost." The lady who said this had thought an oil stove was all right for quickly heating milk for a baby, or boiling a kettle of water, or to make coffee quickly in the morning, but she never dreamed of using it for difficult or heavy cooking. Now—she knows. Do you really appreciate what a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to you? No more coal to carry, no more coming to the dinner table so tired that you can't eat. You need a stove that can heat the heat from an intense blue flame shoots up to the bottom of pot, kettle or oven. But the room isn't heated. There is no smoke, no heat, no smoke.

He comes into the world without his consent and goes out against his will, and the trip between is exceedingly rocky. When he is little the big girls kiss him, when he is big the little girls hug him. If he is poor, he is a bad manager, if he is rich he is dishonest. If he has assets and needs credit he can't get it; if he is prosperous everyone wants to do him a favor. If he is in politics, it is for grrrt, if he is out of politics he is no good to his country. If he doesn't give to charity, he is a stingy cuss, if he does its for show. If he is actively religious, he is a hypocrite, and if he takes no interest in religion he is a hardened sinner. If he gives affection, he is cold blooded. If he dies young there was a great future for him, it he lives to an old age, he missed his calling. — Ex.

Somebody sent this to the society editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and made affidavit that it really happened. Here it is: They were out at an afternoon card party. A stout woman dropped a card to the floor. "Would you be so kind as to pick up that card for me?" she inquired of the little woman at her right. "Certainly," said the accommodating woman at the right, picking up the card. "You see," explained the stout woman, "I've got on a brand new $50 corset, and I'm afraid I'll strain it if I lean over."
