THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER EMPTY PROMISES ARE NO GOOD IN POLITICS, it seems, some men who aspire for political office consider it sufficient to entitle them to the vote of the colored people to make a lot of Stale, Flowery and Empty "promises" to the colored people during a campaign and just before an election. After the election this class of fellows always have some lame tale by which they avoid these promises In a manner, the colored people themselves are to be blamed for thus being deceived. They do not stop and take the time to learn these fellow's record for keeping their promises. They too easily let "any old man" promise them -- and they are satisfied. If a man is found who will break his promise with his fellow man in a Small matter, it is safe to say that such a man would not regard a promise made in a large matter. Such a man cannot be relied upon and people who depend upon any promises made by such an individual will be deceived. The colored people of this county are, beyond question, entitled to some political recognition; but they can never even hope to obtain it by running "pell-mell" to that class of office-seekers who will "promise anything" during campaign. The colored men should look further than this. The race already has a big supply of " broken political promises " on hand and does not need more. If a fellow is not man enough to fulfil his word and keep a solemn promise made to one or more of the colored race, he would not a promise made to the race and is A DANGEROUS MAN to deal with. Let us get rid of so many of these Stale, Flowery, Empty promises and get a little more of " DO. " WE WILL GIVE YOU AN EYE-OPENER ON THIS OLD " PROMISE RACKET " a little later on. WATCH FOR IT.

WA 'No Race Equality' Principal of Colored State School Praised for Eliminating Race Equality Idea-His Views Voiced Through Girl Graduate-Whites Praise Him For Educating "In Proper Way"-Vernon to Praise These Whites Washington D.C. Old Confederates, bankers, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other of the most prominent white men of this city and section joined with hundreds of Negroes in welcoming W. T. Vernon, the Negro register of the Unieed States treasury at Washington, who delivered the commencement address at the annual exercises of the Branch Normal college of Negro branch of the state university, at the Elks theatre here yesterday afternoon. The entire lower floor was occupied by white people, many of whom were ladies, and the gallery and balcony crowded with Negroes Colored Eliminates Race Equality Idea and Gets Praise Of Whites, Gratuate Tuskegee. When Joenna C. Tollettet a young Negro girl in her valedictory declared that there is no ```markdown ``` law on the statute books to prevent a Negro from raising hogs and chickens and tilling the soil with a view to making an honest living," she was applauded enthusiastically by the white people, in fact so vociferous was the applause the girl was forced to come to the front of the stage and bow her appreciation. Her address was one of the finest ever heard at a Branch Normal exercises here and through her the sentiment of Professor Isaac Fisher, the brilliant Negro principal of the college a graduate of Tuskegee who displaced Prof. Corbin in the normal school, who is doing much to uplift the Negro and to eliminate the race equality of idea among somef were expresed Indeed an inspiring scene was enacted throughout the afternoon when the white people repeatedly applauded the Negro gratuates and especially the words of Professor Isaac Fisher, who declared that he believed his efforts to bring about harmony between the white and colored races, without preaching race equality, were bearing fruit and that the Negro boy and girl of today realized that honesty and industrious methods was the best plan after all. Old Slave Sale Bill Found A bill of sale for a negro under date of May 14, 1859, was found recently by E. C. Gordon of the Sentinel publishing plant, Independence. The paper was written on old-fashioned letter paper in a small hand and was well preserved. It was signed by Sally Irwin, Samuel L. Parker, the purchaser of the negro boys denoted in the bill of sale, was a brother of Mrs. Schuyler Lowe of Inkependence. Parker was a wagon master and died on the plains in 1864. The bill of sale read:: Independence, Mo. Know all men by these presents That I. Sally Irwin, for and in consideration of the sum of $300 have this day sold to Samuel M. Parker one negro boy named Enoch, which boy I warrant to be a slave for life; and I further warrant the said boy against all claims of any persons whatsoever. The said Samuel M. Parker has cuted his note bearing even dacrewith for the above men tied sum the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. Given under my hand and seal this 14th day of May, 1859. The Remarkable Prosperity of New Hope Baptist Church Wich ita Kansas, E. T. Fishback pastor. It goes without any possibility of being gain aid that the New Hope Baptist Church of this city has entered ad era, of unprecedented prosperity as well as a most encouraging begining of third year of its present pastorate which from the 1st of July Out of debt and keeping out of debt this ever progressive of a church has the reputation of being not only one of the most beautiful churches in the state but is in truth one of the most comfortable from a material standpoint which can be found any where, and especially during this extremely warm weather, as it is the only church of our race and denomination in the state that enjoys the possession of electric fans which render it one of the coolest and most pleasant of houses of worship. It is no wonder that the attendance instead of decreasing is continually increasing when the worshippers in this church "Dwell in the secret place of the Most High" and abide under the shadow of the almighty. With collections from $30 to $40 ank more each Sunday continually additions by relation and baptism with Sunday Schol which has no superior in the state in point of attendance nor of finance and with a prayer meeting attendance surpassed no where in the west as we truely believe, New Hope Baptist Church is preparing to do the greatest things which Jesus declared they should do who believe on Him in such a way as to compell others, as never before, to glorify our Father in Heaven. The recent Religious Congress at the Tabernacle Baptist Church was pleasant and profitable, and quite an incentive to higher ideals Those who attended expressed satisfaction. The night of July 29 Mrs. M. L. Copeland delivered an interesting address; also Dr E. T. Fishback entertained with a splendid address. The night of July 31, Mrs. Blanch Givens read a very good paper "The Young people's Work in the Church." Dr. G. G. Brown clearly demonstrated that he was master of his subject,—"Medication and its Relation to Religion." A good audience was present and gue attention. Monday Aug. 1, Mr Macon delivered a good address. Mr. Bell read a well prepared paper on Prayer, Mrs Copeland. read a paper on Christian Education. Mrs. R. H. Love director of music fnrnished good music each evening. Thus goes into history the Second Religious Congress at the Tabernacle Baptist Church. Be Careful Yet Although the primary is over and all the political parties have named their ticket we would issue a serious word of warning to our people here not to be too hasty in pleding themselves. "Everything that glitters is not gold." Be careful — be on your guard. What the colored men should look for in the coming campaign is race results — not a lot of empty, easily broken promises. Keep your ear close to the ground and you will hear something sure. On the night of Aug. 3, John Harris Jones and Mrs. Mattie A. Duffery were united in wedlock at the home of the bride, 811 N. Wicaira Street, Rev. Dr. Copeland officiating. A splendid repast was served to select guests and acquaintances. BOSTON CITIZENS DRIVE 'CLANSMAN' FROM CITY. A triumph for law and order, moral decency and friendly relations between the white and colored citizens of Boston has been scored as the result of a series of strong protests by white and colored citizens against Thomas Dixson's infamous race play, "The Clansman." At the conference before Mayor John F. Fitzgerald held on Wednesday, July 20; the manager of the theater, Lindsay Morrison, agreed to voluntarily withdraw the play because of the protest of the colored citizens especially and at the request of Mayor Fitzgerald. The police commissioners, Stephen O'Meara, sent the mayor a letter urging him for the good of the city and to forestall race trouble to exert his power as license dispenser to have the plao stoped The affair has created widespread interest throughout the country on account of the great controversy over the production of the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures which pale into insignificance alongside of the rancorous race prejudice, engendered by the grotesque scenes in Tom Dixson's "Clansman." As a race we appreciate Mayor Fiezgerald's firm stand for law and order and extend thanks to the committee. The members of Princes Chapter No. 12 O. E.

LAMPTON DIES. --- The Rev. Dr. Edward W. Lampton, bishop of the A. M. E. Church is dead. The sad intelligence came as a shock to the members of that great church, and to the Negroes in general, who all knew him, owing to his services to his race and to that great church which he belongs. Bishop Lampton died July of nephritis at his snmmer home at Petoskey Mich., where he was spending the summer.

STUBBS AND HOPKINS IN KANSAS M'NEAL AND CRUCE IN OKLA. INSURGENTS WIN VICTORY IN KANSAS BUT NOT IN OK- LAHOMA RETURNS ARE SLOW COMING IN Stubbs' Majority Will be Over 30,000 Senator Curtis, Dave Mulvane and other Machine Leaders Declare They Will Work For Ticket. Topeka, Kan.—With the majority of Governor W. R. Stubbs mounting close to 30,000, and four insurgents elected in the six contested districts, with possibility of insurgent success, in another, the progressives here are jubilant tonight. The size of Stubbs majority was a surprise to even his most sanguine supporters, who had limited it to 20,000 or 25,000. Indications now are that it will be over 30,000. Wagstaff carred only four counties in the state. Stubbs' majority was reduced from that of two years ago in several counties, but this was chiefly due to local fights, and in many counties where the regulars made a hot fight and it was expected that Stubbs would be closely pressed, he shows gains over two years ago. The exact figures in the election will not be known until the official canvass is completed three weeks hence. From figures available it seems possible that T. A. McNeal has defeated D. R. Anthony in the First district. The uncompleted returns show that Anthony has a majority of only 107, while during the day it was claimed that he was nearly 1,000 ahead of his opponent. WALTER R. STUBBS. Governor of Kansas. No Contests Among Democrats. Most of the contests were within the Republican party. Neither the Democrats, Prohibitionists nor Socialists had more than one set of candidates for state officers. The Democrats nominated J. H. Colgan of Atchison for congressman in the First district. They had no candidate in the Eighth district. In other districts returns are insufficient to determine the nominees. The Democratic state ticket for the November election nominated yesterday is as follows: For governor—George H. Hodges, Olathe. For lieutenant governor—Lot Ravenscraft, Ashland. For secretary of state—Ray L. Taylor, Wichita. For state auditor—Jonathan S. Miller, Pittsburg. For attorney general—T. F. Morrison, Chanute. For state treasurer—E. M. Dreiling, Hays. For superintendent of instruction—D. M. Bowen, Pittsburg. For superintendent of insurance— Iowa Endorses Insurgents. Des Moines, Ia.—Republican Iowa wrote herself vigorously progressive today at a convention which was in an uproar most of the time. Senators Cummins and Dolliver and the insurgent delegation at Washington were enthusiastically endorsed. The new tariff law was branded as a failure in the light of the party pledge of 1908. President Taft received the most tepid and lukewarm endorsements. A sop of harmony was flung out in the endorsement of the administration of Governor Carroll. An attempt to use the "steam roller" to make the state central committee overwhelmingly progressive was called off, presumably at the hint of Senator Cummins. Senator Cummins was temporary chairman; Senator Dolliver permanent chairman. The progressive majority ranged close to 300 on every question. The resolutions committee was progressive, six to five. The foregoing is a synopsis of the day's work. To it may be added cheers and jeers, applause and hisses, M. B. THE RESULTS IN OKLAHOMA Guthrie, Okla.—Returns from Tuesday's election give indication of the victoryous candidates. J. W. McNeal of Guthrie probably is the Republican nominee for governor, although his victory will not be so pronounced as at first seemed. McNeal's uniform strength throughout the state, however, gives him an advantage hard to overcome. C. G. Jones of Oklahoma City conceded his defeat and John Fields is in the same position, although he still assumes confidence. The most complete returns available tonight indicate that the following have been nominated on the Republican ticket: J. W. McNeal, governor; Gilbert Dukes, lieutenant-governor; T. S. Dulane, state auditor; Thos. N. Robnett, secretary of state; J. M. Dodson, attorney general; H. M. Paulding, state treasurer; J. L. Dyche, state superintendent of public instruction; W. B. Lain, examiner and inspector; J. H. Hall, chief mine inspector; J. W. Funston, commissioner of labor; Kate Biggers, commissioner of charities; F. Hoffman, insurance commissioner; Jesse L. Curd, state printer; E. D. Brownlee, corporation commissioner; C. C. Chappell, clerk of the supreme court; E. W. Snoddy, judge of the court of appeals. Democratic nominees probably are: J. J. McAlerest, lieutenant governor; Leo Meyer, secretary of state; Bill Cross, deceased, state auditor; Chas. L. West, attorney general; Robert Dunlop, state treasurer; E. D. Cameron, state superintendent of public instruction; Charles A. Taylor, state examiner and inspector; Pete Hanraty, state mine inspector; C. L. Daugherty, commissioner of labor; Kate Barnard, commissioner of charities and corrections; J. L. Ballard, insurance commissioner; Giles W. Farris, state printer; G. P. Bryan, president board of agriculture; George Henshaw, corporation commissioner; W. H. L. Campbell, clerk of the supreme court; Thomas O. Doyle, judge of the criminal court of appeals. Congressional Nominees. The Republican nominees for congress are: First district—B. S. McGuire, incum bent, standpatter, 2,800 estimated. Second district—D. T. Morgan, in cumbent, standpattern, 1,000 estimated Third district, Charles E. Creager incumbent, standpatter, 2,200 estimated ed. Fourth district—Charles M. Camp bell. Fifth district—J. H. Franklin, stand patter. Third district-J. L. Davenport. Fourth district—Charles Carter, incumbent. Fifth district—Scott Ferris, incumbent. PETER H. BURKE J. W. McNEAL. Death of "Bill" Cross. Oklahoma City—Death overtook Secretary of State Bill Cross at 6:30 o'clock this morning, too soon to permit him the satisfaction of knowing that he probably was the Democratic nominee for state auditor. --- Not Announced Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press As he reached her in the stream of guests, mostly feminine, Emille Fenton gave him her hand and her best smile. Thomas Townsend at her musicale was better than she had hoped—he seldom bothered himself with afternoon functions. And this was small and select—for a purpose, too which she thought he did not suspect. She suddenly had a horrid fear that he had been interested in Natalie. Who had said so. She could not remember. "I know you're surprised to see me," he submitted impudently. "Yes, I asked you because I was so sure of your absence! What does bring you?" Oh, a long unfed yearning for candle light in broad day, hot-house flowers and hot-house ladies." He parried her question. "I shall tell Natalie. You'll be quite too big for an ordinary doorway, you know." He laughed and passed into the dlm, flower-bedecked, candle-lit parlors, deliberately sought a chair that seemed able to endure his weight for the space of an hour, and then looked about him at the other guests who were chattering with the zest which nothing but the prospect of music gives a company. Presently Maude Borely trailed in and came briskly over to sit by him. He did wish there was a time limit to the kittenish in a woman's manner, but he listened good-temperedly to her gossip. Gossip, in fact, was what he came for. He had heard some rumors about Natalie that had stirred him to a grim determination "Natalie Norris is to play," she informed him. "She's been abroad seven years. They say she sleeps with that violin of hers. I hear she's awfully pretty, though I haven't seen her since she was a mere child. Let's see—didn't they live next door to you?" "I believe they did," he answered, "But I was at school and all I seem to remember is a black-eyed romp with curls to her knees." He did not say that in his after-college Europe vacation a few years since he had spent a summer in a German town where she was. "Chris Kirk!" whispered Maude. "He's followed her like a dog for two years. And they say her mother has fairly bullied the girl into tacitly accepting him, though it is not yet announced. Do you know, it's whispered that it is to be announced this afternoon? Emille is a cousin, their only relative, I believe. But it's rather a pity, isn't it, after all? Money is not everything," she said sentimentally, "and the world knows Christopher Kirk." "I'd love to—kick him," he said through his teeth. The man took a seat in front of them, it being near the piano and the chairs reserved for the musicians. The hum and chatter continued till a sudden hush made Townsend look up. His glance fell into the hall where, coming almost skly down the winding stairway, a lovely amber-clad silhouette against the stained glass windows, he saw Natalie Norris with the violin. The young man's steady blue eyes looked with a sort of hunger at the girl. She was very pale, and a set little smile was all that lifted her face from a look of tragedy. She stopped to speak to Emilie in the doorway. Kirk gave a movement, but Townsend was on his feet, across the room, and beside the girl in an instant, offering her his arm. No greeting passed between them, but a surprise marvelously like relief lighted her face to glowing beauty for an instant. He led her to a seat, and would have gone back to his own place save that her glance bade, nay begged, him to stay. He sat down by her. After this, it was the usual thing—a soprano sang, mostly on the key; a tenor sang, mostly off. The best was for the last, evidently. But presently Emile, in a graceful little speech, introduced the young woman who had been a child in their midst. The girl rose and bowed gravely, tuned her instrument and tucked it lovingly under her chin. Then the tragedy left her face, and joy came. The audience caught its breath at her playing. She bowed again and again, and was encored till she would play no more, but still stood bowing, with one hand leaning on the little candle-stand against the window draperles. She went very white and was looking at her mother, who appeared beside Emile in the doorway waiting, while down the stairs came Emile's little girl dressed as a fairy, carrying a basket little cards which she was to distribute among the guests. As the child reached the door Nat- alie gave a backward movement, almost involuntary, that overturned the candle-stand with a crash. A woman screamed, the flame licked at the sheer curtain, up the window and there was confusion and a rush. Natalle, at the end of her strength, slipped toward the floor in a dead faint, but Townsend caught her in his arms and bore her to the hall. Smoke began to pour up the stairway, and he never knew just how he got to the dressing room, threw some water in the girl's face, threatened and coaxed her into consciousness and finally got her into some wraps. Many women had left without their wraps, and below he heard Emilie giving orders to seivants. Natalle's mother was weeping and wringing her hands, and Kirk was trying to take the girl from Townsend, who simply shoved him aside. "Tell Mrs. Norris I shall take her daughter out in my machine for a drive in the air and then take her to her hotel," he commanded. And, though he was loath to obey, there was nothing else for Kirk to do. He took the girl down the back stairs, through a side door, and, with her leaning on his arm, reached the sidewalk just as the fire wagons came clanging up. He helped the girl into the car, took his heat beside her and was off before they could be stopped or questioned. Natalie suddenly gave a frightened little gasp. "She what I have done! See Emtlie's house on fire—and spoiled things for everybody. And poor mamma! Did you know what little Rose Fenton had in the basket, Tom?" The sharp air had brought the girl fully back to herself. She spoke to Townsend as if she had seen him but yesterday, when, in fact, it had been three years since they parted—with a kiss, given and taken in a quaint German garden. "Those cards—announced my engagement," she said. "I must have been crazy to give in! I don't see how I ever—oh, I wish I were dead!" Townsend interrupted cheerfully. "Because of Kirk? I'll kill him for you whenever you say—if you think he's worth killing. Natalie, why didn't you answer my letters after I left you in Germany?" She stared at him in surprise. "I never—had a letter from you! So you wrote?" "A few dozen times—until the last ones were directed back to me—in your mother's hand—and—" "Mother would—do that?" the girl gasped. The man spoke. "Natalie, when could you marry me?" Her eyes danced, then watered. "Nobody'll ever—consent—it will make trouble, and I've been worn to a shadow—till I've no more resisting power left, Tom." "Well, we'll use my resisting power—I've a large supply. Listen: If we go east, we'll get to your hotel in five minutes. If we go west, we'll reach the courthouse and a license in four minutes. We can find a preacher in seven minutes, be married in about six, and go back and take the trouble together a little while, and be happy for life. Or rather, I'll shoulder the responsibility. Of course it will not have been announced, but—shall I turn east?" He turned to look at the girl. She shook her head. "West—west, dear," and she laid her hand over to touch his as it steered. She wanted to help him turn west. The house didn't burn down, and Mrs. Norris took the marriage fairly well. Charcoal as a Purifier. Not enough attention is paid to the purifying effects of charcoal. It should be a household remedy and will be found equally useful in kitchen, bathroom, garden and medicine chest. In this day of germs and much talk of sanitation no housekeeper should fail to have a dish of powdered charcoal on an upper shelf of her refrigerator. It absorbs unpleasant odors and keeps things sweet smelling. Change the charcoal every other day. A little powdered charcoal should be among the toilet articles. Oddly enough, it makes an excellent tooth powder to whiten the teeth and sweeten the breath. The teeth must be thoroughly rinsed until no trace of black remains. Where one is troubled by dyspepsia nothing equals a charcoal tablet for quick relief. One is especially good to remove the taste of onions, cabbage or other odoriferous food. Change Everywhere at Work Reflect often upon the instability of things and how very fast the scenes of nature are shifted. Matter is in a perpetual flux. Change is always and everywhere at work; it strikes through causes and effects, and leaves nothing fixed and permanent. And then how very near us stand the two vast gulfs of time, the past and the future, in which all things disappear. Now, is that man a blockhead that lets these momentary things make him proud, or uneasy, or sorrowful, as though they could trouble him for long?—Marcus Aurelius. The KITCHEN CABINET or late. No star is ever lost we once have seen; We always may be, what we might have been." THE SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPER. During the hot weather the simpler the food the better the health of the family. A salad with sandwiches and fruit with a glass of ice tea or milk makes a sufficient meal after a hearty dinner on Sunday. A combination of grated cheese and chopped nuts, with a little salad dressing is a good filling for sandwiches. Peanut butter is liked by many, and is an easy filling to use, being ready prepared. A simple salad, if one is fond of peanuts, is prepared by chopping the nuts, sprinkle over crisp lettuce and pour over a french dressing, made by using four tablespoonfuls of olive oil to two of vinegar and a tablespoonful of onion juice, salt and pepper to taste. An easy way to serve a supper on Sunday night is to serve it buffet style. Arrange the table with the silver, dishes and food on the table and sideboard, where each may help himself. An egg sandwich is good for a supper sandwich, and easily made. Cook sufficient eggs for the number of sandwiches needed. When cold, remove the shells and crush with a fork, seasoning with melted butter, salt, pepper and onion juice. Saving Hints. When purchasing meats a two days' supply is found to be an economy, as many tempting dishes may be made with apparently no extra expense. Celery stalks, leaves, parsley and mint should be carefully dried and kept for an emergency. A few cents expended occasionally for parsley, green peppers, a lemon and an orange, to be used as a garnish, is wise, for that which appeals to the eye also appeals to the palate. Save all pieces of meat, vegetables and cereals, even if the amount is small. Chop, add egg and bread crumbs, roll into balls and fry. Serve with tomato sauce and garnish with parsley. Y SON, observe the postage stamp. Its usefulness depends upon its ability to stick to one thing, until it gets there." HOT WEATHER DRINKS. The best lemonade is made from a sirup which may be prepared in quantity and then it is always ready for instant use. To one cupful of lemon juice add a half cupful of sugar and a quarter of a cupful of water, boil together ten minutes and put in a bottle to be kept in the ice box. When egg lemonade is wanted, beat the egg and add to the sirup, using sufficient water and sirup for the amount desired. Tea Punch. Pour two quarts of boiling water over two heaping teaspoonfuls of tea and steep five minutes. Strain over two pounds of loaf sugar and stand until cool. Break a small ripe pineapple into pieces, cut three peeled oranges into slices, and squeeze the juice from eight lemons. Put all into the mixture and add a few cherries or choice strawberries. Put on ice until cold. Mint Punch. Place a few sprigs of mint in freshly made tea, when steeped set away to cool. Serve with lemon and sugar. Raspberry Vinegar. Put half as much vinegar as raspberries to soak in a jar, let stand two days, strain; add the same amount of fresh berries again and stand another two days, strain, and add three-quarters as much sugar as the first measure of berries; heat slowly and seal while hot. Currant Punch A simple wholesome drink which can be given to children during the hot summer months may be made of currant juice or jelly as a flavoring. Boil a cupful of sugar and a quart of water five minutes. Skim and add the juice of four lemons and two oranges. Strain and add a pint of the best currant jelly. Continue stirring until the jelly is dissolved, then place on ice. At the moment of serving add chopped ice and a quart of charged water. Iced Cocoa. Prepare the cocoa as usual, chill and add whipped cream, and over the top of each glass or cup sprinkle a little dry cocoa. Curry Sauce. Melt a tablespoonful of butter, add a tablespoonful each of curry powder and browned flour. Cook together, then add a cupful of stock or hot water will do, and cook until smooth. Season with salt, pepper and onion juice. Serve with boiled mutton or fish.

Although most people are fond of junket, not many know the variety of ways in which it may be served. It is regarded by most as the very plainest type of cookery, as it is seldom met except perfectly plain, served with cream or perhaps some fruit. There are many more elaborate dishes which are not nearly so pleasing as junket, if it is carefully prepared. The junket tablet must be added to the sweetened and flavored milk when just luke warm or it will not thicken properly. Junket has the merit of being one of our most wholesome foods, and many who cannot eat milk find it very pleasant, as it is in a more digestible form than plain milk. For invalidis, it forms an ideal nourishment, as the thickening of the milk by the rennet is exactly the same process as that which takes place in digestion, and it is consequently more easily assimilated than milk which has not been treated with junket. Junket is used for making ice cream, which renders it easier of digestion. Another use of junket is in making curd, while little cream cheeses and delicious little cakes may be made at home. The milk used for junket should be fresh and pure—bolled milk will not answer—and it should be warmed to blood heat and no higher. Another point to remember is that it should be left in a warm place without stirring until is firm, then put in a cool place until wanted to serve. If it is shaken it will break and separate into whey. Caramel Junket Put six tablespoonfuls of sugar into a saucepan, place over the heat and melt; when the stirup is a rich brown remove, add a few tablespoonfuls of milk and let stand until dissolved. Add this flavored milk to a quart of warm milk and a junket tablet dissolved in a little water. Pour into cups or glasses and let stand until firm in a warm place, then put on ice until serving time. EVER mind a change of scene— Try a change of thinking. What if things sem sordid, mean, What's the use of blinking? By degrees, by thinking, light, Thinking glad and sweetly, You'll escape the stress of might— Worry gone completely. MAKING WORK HARDER. By putting ourselves in the wrong attitude toward our work we make it doubly hard. The woman who says: "I despise housework and detest cooking," only adds to her own and others' discomfort by such thinking. Some wise one said: "There is no stupid work, only stupid workers." We can make our work an art or a drudgery, the smallest thing well done is artistic. Much of the joy of living lies in the heart being in our work. When we respect our work it is not drudgery, no matter how hard. The up-to-date housekeeper finds easy ways of doing her work, is looking for labor-saving devices. She does not follow her grandmother's methods if she finds those that are better. "Let patience have her perfect work," for we can see in our daily tasks the means of character development. Find the important things that must be done and slight the non-essentials. Often it is far more important that you should have a restful afternoon with a book or a friend than that the house should be swept from bottom to top. A few less stitches in the daughter's dress, simpler dessert often means less lines of care and a pleasanter mother to live with. Let us find out the essentials and slight the non-essentials. When one is irritable and cross, often all that is needed is a day of quiet and rest to bring back the normal state of good temper. It is not work which tires it is one's attitude towards it. Take an interest in house work. Be original. Surround yourself with pretty cooking utensils—a thing may be useful and also beautiful to look at. With the right attitude toward our work, we will find housework easy, healthful and enjoyable. Celery Sauce. Blend two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour, add a cupful each of milk and the liquor in which a cupful of chopped celery has been cooked. Cook until smooth, season with salt and pepper, add the cooked celery and serve with boiled fowl. Nellie Maxwell A GREAT CURE DISCOVERED DR. MELTZER OF ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE MAKES PUBLIC. German Physician Perfects Serum Which Cures Blood Poison Quickly and Surely. New York, N. Y.—Dr. Julius I. Meltzer, of the staff of the Rockefeller institute, announced that a positive cure for one of the most terrible diseases known to the science of medicine has just been given to the world by Dr. Paul Ehrlich, head of the institute for experimental therapeutics, of Frankfort, Germany. This disease is one of the most virulent forms of blood poisoning that is known to continue into the second and third generation and a cure for which medical science has been struggling for more than 500 years. Dr. Meltzer said in discussing the discovery: *Only scientific men can imagine what a marvelous discovery this is. It is beyond belief what it will do. "We men of medicine have worked for centuries in an effort to find a cure. The nearest thing that we could find was of a mercurial nature and positive cures have never been known, but here comes a discovery where positive cures have been effected in one injection of the serum and a cure began inside of three hours and completed in 14 days. And most wonderful of all, not a single case has failed to respond to the treatment and not once have ill effects been the results of the treatment."

Ends Most Extensive Man Hunt the World Has Ever Known—Searched Land and Sea. Montreal, Canada.—A real detective story, the plot of which has never yet been conceived by a poet or a Doyle, but has been told in the newspapers day by day, comes to its last chapter with the arrest of Dr. Harvey H. Crippen and Miss Ethel Le Neve by the Provincial police and Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard, on a charge of having killed Mrs. Crippen, known on the stage as Belle Elmore, in London. Chief McCarthy, of the Quebec Provincial police, assisted by Chief Denis, of the Dominion police, put Dr. Crippen under arrest on deck of the Montrose at Father Point after he had been identified by Inspector Dew, as she was waiting for a pilot. Two minutes after, Ethel Le Neve the stenographer, with the suspect, whom Crippen had long been infatuated with, was put under arrest in her cabin, still wearing the clothes of a boy. The whole civilized world—and thanks to the wireless telegraph all the waters thereof had been for 18 days, since July 13 searched for Crippen and Ethel Le Neve, his girl companion who had posed as his wife. It was calculated several days ago that 50,000 people throughout the world were doing little else but look for Crippen and his typist, Miss Ethel Le Neve. No such universal search has ever been made for mising persons. It is almost safe to say, now that they are caught, that they did not have a chance in a thousand of escaping. MAY PROSECUTE MILLERS Unless They Stop Bleaching Flour They will Be Subject to Criminal Prosecution. Washington, D. C.—Millers must stop bleaching flour, pending adjudication by the higher courts or stand criminal prosecution for each shipment made in interstate commerce, according to a decision reached here at a conference between officials of the departments of agriculture and justice. At the conference were Acting Attorney General Fowler and Solicitor McCabe of the department of agriculture, the later representing Secretary Wilson.

FACING A CRISIS IN SPAIN Breaking Off of Diplomatic Relations With Vatican May Lead to Civil War. Madrid, Aug. 1.—"We do not fear the threat of Civil war. The king and the Spanish democracy support us." This message was telegraphed to the press of Spain by Premier Canalejas. It is the prime minister's bold defiance to Don Jaime, the pretender to the Spanish throne, who issued a proclamation to his followers, saying that the government's break with the Vatican was the signal for battle and that he would lead the fight. Excitement in the capital and throughout Spain is intense over the conflict with Vatican, which came to a head with the decision of Premier Canalejas to recall the Spanish ambassador to the Vatican. Both the governmental and clerical parties have accepted the challenge to battle and the situation, complicated by the intrusion of Don Jaime may, under existing conditions, easily develop acute features. Already the government is taking precautionary measures and prohibiting demonstrations from which disorder might result. MANY MINERS ON A STRIKE More Than 100,000 Union Men Are Out—International Convention to Meet in Indianapolis. Chicago, Ill.—International President T. L. Lewis of the miners has issued a call for an international convention to meet in Indianapolis within two weeks to consider the "serious situation brought about by the rebellious action of the miners' leaders of Illinois and the southwest."

There are about 50,000 in Illinois; 30,000 in the southwest, 15,000 in Pennsylvania, 6,000 in Ohio and 3,000 in Colorado. It is also possible, he said, that this list will be increased when the present agreements in Wyoming and Washington expire in September.

WENDLING ARRESTED IN FRISCO Man Charged With Murder of Alma San Francisco, Aug 1.—Joseph Wendling, janitor of St John's parochial school in Louisville, charged with the murder of eight-year-old Alma Kellner, has been arrested in this city. He admitted his identity to the police on his arrest. The body of Alma Kellner, eight years old, was found last May in the basement of St. John's Catholic School in Louisville. She had been missing from the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Kellner, since the morning of December 8, when she went to attend mass at St. John's church. A plumber who was repairing a leak in a pipe in the basement of the school house, which was only five blocks from the Kellner home, found the body. The condition of the body indicated that it had been in the cellar several months and that quick lime had been used to aid disintegration. Every bone in the body was broken and charred, showing that an attempt had been made to burn the body. A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION Infantile Paralysis is to Receive Attention at the Hands of General Government. Washington, D. C.—Owing to the prevalence of infantile paralysis in this city and elsewhere throughout the country, a government investigation is to be made into the cause of the disease. This was decided on after a conference between Surgeon General Wyman of the public health and marine hospital service and Dr. John P. Anderson, director of the hygienic laboratory of that service. The investigation will be started as soon as Dr. W. H. Frost, a member of Dr. Anderson's staff, returns from Mason City, Ia., where he is studying the disease.

A boy is cleaning the front door of a house. "I'm tred to death,' cried Johnny. When his ma called him to tea; "I've hoed and dug and planted 'Till I can hardly see. "I've made a fine big garden And planted things just so, And now I'll rest a little 'Till the seeds begin to grow. "And when the crisp white onions And beets and lettuce, too, And peas and beans and carrots Have all come nicely through, "I'll keep the weeds from growing 'Round them, so good to eat, And when my garden's ready We'll have a great big treat." TRICK OF BINOCULAR VISION Young Lad Apparently See's Little Canary Bird Walk into Cage, But He Does Not. "Guess what I have in my hand, Harry," said Uncle Dick, holding one hand teasingly behind his back. "Some books?" "No." "A new magic lantern." "No, I shall have to tell you," and he drew forth a big white sheet of paper, upon which was drawn an open bird-cage, at the right a dotted line, beyond the dotted line a little bird, writes Belle Lawrence in Youth's Companion. "Now, Harry," said Uncle Dick, as he drew up a chair beside that of his Bird in the Cage. nephew, "you see the little bird outside the cage? Well, soon you shall see the little bird walk right into the cage without our having to touch the bird, the cage, or the pencil." "Oh, how?" cried Harry, in astonishment. In answer to this question Uncle Dick placed the paper in Harry's hand and drew from his pocket an ordinary calling card, which he told Harry to place upon the dotted line and watch the bird carefully, his nose just touching the card. All was still in the room for a moment and then aHryr cried out: "He is moving—he really is—there he goes right into the cage!" Just then the card dropped and Harry looked at the paper in amazement, for there was the cage, the dotted line, and the bird beyond the dotted line just as it had been before. Uncle Dick laughed at Harry's confusion, then explained to him that it was a sort of trick; that the bird did not really go into the cage at all, yet it seemed so to him because it was a proof of simple sight with both eyes, or, and he laughed at the look of wonder in the little boy's face, "what wise men like your old uncle know as binocular vision." Harry committed the long word to memory, and not willing to be outdone, drew a cage with two birds outside, then a whole flock, and joyously watched them journey inside the bars. MEANING OF SCARLET THREAD Woven Into British Naval Rope as Positive Method of Identification of Royal Property. Ever since the day of Nelson, a peculiar custom has been observed in the British navy. A scarlet thread is woven into every one of the thousands of ropes used in the British naval service. This includes all ropes from the smallest heaving line to the largest hawser. Several romantic suggestions have been advanced as to why the thread is woven into the ropes, but the real reason is a simple and practical one. It simply means a sure way of identifying royal property, and if any rope with the red thread is found in unauthorized hands the presumption is that it was improperly taken. It is forbidden that any rope manufactured for private use contain the red thread, in just the same way that in the United States the manufacture of paper for private use containing bits of silk is forbidden. This paper in the United States is used for currency purposes only. REPRESSION OF P. I. R. PYLE.

He TEN IN PRONOUNCING MATCH Professional Men, Including Doctors, Lawyers, Teacher and Preacher, in Novel Test. Ten professional men, including doctors, lawyers, a teacher and a preacher, took part in a pronouncing match in a New York hall of the Young Men's Christian association recently. Twenty-one words were written on the blackboard. The best man in the ten pronounced 12 words right, according to accepted authority. The average number of errors was 11. Such are the perils and uncertainties of that which he are pleased to call our mother tongue. William Henry P. Phyfe having compiled a book of "7,000 Words Often Mispronounced," found it easy in a later edition to increase the list to 10,000. It is not likely that even in the second effort he reached the final word, for decisions on disputed pronunciations are chiefly arbitrary, and even presumptive authorities take little trouble to agree among them selves. Only one man in the Young Men's Christian association ten pronounced "harass" with the accent on the first syllable. He admitted that he was perhaps right by accident. The nineteo-argument of educated usage indicated here has not prevailed with the dictionary-makers. It may catch up yet. There is the hopeful instance of "squalor" and "squalid." Of these two words the latter is arbitrarily "squaw-lid," as pronounced, while in the former the logical "squaw-lor" has been recognized only in modern times against the fixed "squay-lor" of earlier years. After all, the harmonizing of English pronunciations is a matter of some importance with the simplifying of spelling. RARE TRICK WITH DECANTER. Displacing Center of Gravity by Means of Bent Straw—Latter Must Be Strong. Can you lift a decanter, half filled with water, by a bent straw? It is quite easy. The decanter should have a narrow neck and wide and rather square shoulder-part. The stray must be a good and whole one, about 2 ft or 2½ ft. long. This should be bent Trick With Decanter upward one-third of its length, or enough to bring it under the shoulder of the decanter; then push into the decanter, leaving the long end outside, and lift carefully. The idea is to displace the center of gravity. The performer should take care to use a straw without crack or flaw in it. Keeping It Secret Papa and mamma were laughing at a joke on gran'pa and little Tommy was keeping close tabs. Gran'pa's name is Noah Brown. Little Mollie Smith was asked at Sunday school who built the ark. She didn't know and was told to have the answer by the following Sunday. Her mother instructed her. "Noah built the ark," she said. "Noah. The same name as Mr. Brown. His name is Noah Brown. You know that don't you? You've seen his name above his store. Just remember Mr. Brown, and then you'll think of Noah." And very naturally when Mollie was asked the following Sunday who built the ark she answered promptly: "Mr. Brown built it. He lives right next door to us." That's the story papa told mamma, and when she laughed Tommy was anxious to see the point. Presently his face lit up. "I know it!" he cried. "Gran'pa built it all right; but he doesn't want everybody to know it." WE CEARCHLIGNT Qamerra, 1 5 0 0 RARE (gai W. N. MILLER, Editor. Residence 1401 West 23d Street. Residence Phone, Bell 1641.

No election has ever been held in this state or county that passed off with more harmony than the c'lection of last Tuesday. Of course there were disappointments and, defeats, two things which are necessary consequences and which as a matter of fact, follow every election. But as a general rule both parties named very good men for all the offices. So far as Sedgwick County is concerned the men nnmed by both the Republicans and the Democrats are very good, clean, strong men. It is, with few exceptions, almost a matter of choice. The colored people are to be congratulated on the good judgment shown by them on Tuesday in the picking men for the various offices. The day passed off without a jar from any source. The Quaint Belluga Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and veryalty—and preserve only the spawn, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. A Queen's Will. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid cut in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world."—Home Notes. Sensation in "Mystery Ship." Sensation in "Mystery Ship." Sydney, Australia, has had a novelty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsignaled and unannounced. It was peopleled by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The officers were dressed in clerical attire—long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the government medical officer and the harbor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us." whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. ```markdown ``` Hygienic 513 North A. J. Cousa Open from 6 a.m. Short Orders At All OF MEAT MEAT 337 N. M.

Gear Finding Fighters for Uncle Sam HE war department is trying to find ways and means to increase the number of cadets at the United States Military academy. Since the Spanish war, when the army was enlarged, there have not been anywhere near enough graduates to fill the vacancies in the commissioned ranks of the army. The result has been that not only has it been necessary to promote to the rank of second lieutenant, enlisted men of the army who can pass the required examination, but to appoint each year to the service large numbers of civilians. T Naturally enough the war department officials feel that the commissioned officers should be men educated to the profession of a soldier. There seems to be a pretty general feeling, one hard for the authorities to account for by the way, that every man is born a soldier and that the military profession is the only one for which no special training is required. Gen. Winfield Scott, at the close of the Mexican war, said that if it had not been for the officers of his army who were graduates of the military academy the war would have been prolonged for years. This praise of the institution and the men whom it turns out was given by a man not a graduate, and who, therefore, could not be said to be prejudiced in favor of the institution. The course at West Point is a particularly hard one and a good many cadets are found deficient every year, generally in only one study. West Point, however, differs from all other schools of the world. There they do not strike an average of studies, taking all the lessons taught in a lump. For instance, if a man stands at the head of his class in four studies, but is a little bit below the proficient average in one study, the authorities throw him out, whereas in other schools they would strike an average and give such a man a high standing. separated from the army to which they might possibly be a credit if an average of excellence was struck by the authorities. It is quite often the case that men who do not graduate but who have had several years' training at the academy succeed in getting commissions in the service. There are no records to show that any man who spent two years at West Point failed to pass his examination for a commission after he had been successful in getting an appointment to the army from civil life. Some of the boys who have been at West Point, but have not graduated, enlisted in the United States army in order to get their commission from the ranks. When a man does so enlist he may be sent as a private soldier to a company in which some classmate is a lieutenant. Now it must be remembered that there is a deep gulf between officers and enlisted men in the regular army, a gulf which it is necessary to have remain fixed, because familiarity of intercourse between officers and enlisted men would lead to lax discipline. It is not the case, as some people seem to think, of an officer being too proud to associate with enlisted men. The officers of the army hold the enlisted men in high esteem. They know that they are the backbone of the army and they know that on their loyalty, obedience and courage hangs success in war and the credit of the army in peace. Every army in the world has learned the lesson that there must be a lack of familiar intercourse in a social way between the commissioned officers and the enlisted men. When a young fellow who has been at West Point enlistes he is likely, as has been sald, to get into a command in which one of his classmates may be an officer. Then it is that a curious relation results. The enlisted man meets his former classmate, whom he once called Bill or Jim and with whom he possibly roomed as a cadet, and he must simply salute him as any other enlisted man would, and pass without a sign of "familiar recognition." Now this does not mean at all that Jim or Bill does not want to speak to his former classmate. It means simply that the enlisted man wants to preserve his own standing with his fellow soldiers and does not want to put his former classmate by and chance in an embarrassing position. If the enlisted men should learn that their newly enlisted fellow was a former classmate and a friend of one of the officers they might think that it was going to be a case of currying favor on the one side or of showing favor on the other. The man who is once a cadet and who enlistes is more careful if he is built right, and he generally is, to maintain a proper attitude toward the men who rank him. They tell a story in Washington of a young fellow who came of rich parentage, but who never had been at West Point, by the way, who enlisted in the army to get his commission. He attempted to presume on the fact of his wealth and he not only got the officers down on him, but the men as well. His lot was not altogether a happy one. It can be said, however, that cases like that of this young man are few and far between. The man who is willing to enlist in order to get his commission, generally speaking, is of good stuff enough to make him willing to take things as they come and to take rather more than his share of the duties and the hardships of the enlisted men with whom he is thrown. There was once upon a time a cadet who, having spent time enough at the United States Military academy to cover a considerable part of the course, was compelled by the government to sever his connection with the school he had hoped would prove to him a fostering mother until the end. This cadet, who shall be nameless because of a modest desire to avoid the use of the pronoun in the first person, had a yearning for military life, and so a few years after leaving the academy he walked into a Boston recruiting office and enlisted. Several classmates and several other army friends knew of the enlistment and told the enlisted one prior to his application for admission to the service to strike out for a commission, and, above all things, not to let any of the enlisted men, or any of the officers who did not know him, have knowledge of the fact that he had been at the military academy, for otherwise they might think he expected favors. The advice was needless, for whatever else the recruit intended to do he desired that his service should be performed on the same level with that of every other man in the United States army, but the truth is that this determi- SKIRMISH LINE DRILL . WEST POINT CADETS nation and its carrying out led to some complications that had humor enough at the time even though they lose the humor because of lack of power in the storyteller. This cadet recruit was landed at David's island, New York harbor, where there were 700 other recruits undergoing instruction, and a green lot they were. The cadet was turned out for squad drill with five other recruits, not one of whom knew enough about soldiering to keep his heels together. A tall, raw-boned Irish sergeant with the euphonious name of O'Baldwin was in command of the squad. He began to explain the position of a soldier. He found that the recruit on the right of the line already was in the position of a soldier. The truth was he couldn't help himself. O'Baldwin eyed him critically. "Fall out!" he said. The one-time cadet fell out. "What regiment did ye desart from?" said O'Baldwin, pleasantly. "This is my first enlistment," answered the recruit, and in answering he told the truth, for a cadet isn't enlisted. "What company are ye in?" asked O'Baldwin, though he knew perfectly well, for his own bunk was not three bunks removed from that of the recruit. "D company," answered the queried one, and that's where he made the mistake of his life. That apparently simple answer proved conclusively to the sergeant's mind that he had an ex-regular before him, for all the national guardsmen would have answered "Company D" instead of "D company." The regular who would speak of his command as "Company D" would be considered deserving of the guard-house for a month, for to put the letter after the company save when it is written is to the army man the height of things unmilitary. "You go to your quarters; we'll look into this," said the sergeant. The recruit went to his quarters and half an hour later the first sergeant of the outfit sent for him. The "Top" opened the conversation cheerfully with a query as to what regiment the recruit had left in the lurch. Finding that he was bound to be considered a deserter, the unhappy one took the bull by the horns thus: "I am serving my first enlistment in the army; I never was in the marine corps and I never saw the inside of a national guard army." "Ever been in one of them private military schools?" asked the "Top." "Never." "Go to your quarters." In another hour the recruit was given a rifle and cartridge box and belt and was ordered to turn out with the squad of recruits who had advanced far enough in the school of the soldier to receive lessons in the manual of arms. Now as a matter of fact the recruit knew the manual of arms so well he couldn't have hidden his knowledge if he had tried. This time there was another sergeant in charge. His eye took in the way the recruit on the right handled his piece and executed the manual. In less than a minute the sergeant ordered him who was showing such proficiency to step to the front, and ordered "place rest" for the remainder of the squad. Then turning his attention to his victim, he said: "We'll try the bayonet exercise a bit. Guard!" The recruit came down to "a guard" possibly with as much precision and in probably as proper style as the veteran sergeant had ever seen it done. "Passing yourself off for a recruit. It's a fraud you are. Get to your quarters." And the recruit went to his bunk again, knowing that he was in deep disgrace. About half an hour later he heard two old Statue of Liberty Grafters ```markdown ``` soldiers talking outside of the barracks window. One of them sald to the other: "There's a cuss in there who ain't never been in the marine corps, nor in the milshy, nor in the reg'lars, nor to one of them military schools. The sergeant says he's either a blankety-blank liar or else he larkt his soldierin' from books, which ain't likely." That night just after "tattoo," the first sergeant appeared and told the recruit that the company commander wanted to see him at once in the orderly room. The recruit went to the presence of the commissioned officer and stood attention as he had stood attention as a cadet a thousand times before. The captain looked him up and down. "I understand," he said, "that this is your first enlistment; that you have never been a national guard; that you have never been a marine and that you never attended a private military school." The recruit acquiesced with a respectful "Yes, sir." "About face." The recruit made an about face, and then at a repetition of the command, again faced the captain, who was grinning. "Go to your quartefs," said the commanding officer. The recruit went and in ten minutes the top sergeant was there, saying: "You can't fool the old man. You've been made a lance corporal and you go on guard as corporal of the third relief tomorrow morning." There are a good many officers in the United States army today who served for a If the visitors who paid good money to a soldier for the privilege of climbing up the steps of the statue of Liberty, had only known about the sixty-second article of war they never would have graduated from the deadhead class on a reservation belonging to Uncle Sam, the New York Herald says. As it is, under the last general order from the war department two soldiers who levied tribute are doomed to penal servitude for their speculative enterprise. According to the army orders, Axel T. Holm, a first-class private of G company, signal corps, and Edward A. Bagnall, of the same grade and command, organized a syndicate for the exploitation of the French evidence of friendship for America, which, following the actual language of the order, operated, as to Holm, after this fashion: "He, the said Holm, did designedly and fraudulently obtain money from certain visitors to the statue of liberty, fees for the privilege of going up into said statue, by knowingly making false pretenses that such fees were necessary." And as to the enterprising Bagnall: "That he did knowingly assist in fraudulently obtaining money from visitors to the statue of Liberty by acting as a 'lookout' with the duty of actually giving warning to the man collecting the fees in case an officer were approaching." All of this, according to the charges and specifications upon which conviction was made, and approval then passed, violated the sixty-second article of war. In the case of Holm the department orders his dishonorable discharge while at the military academy as cadets, but who were compelled to stay five years at the academy in order to get their commissions, having been "turned back" into the class next below them either for deficiency in studies or for breaches of discipline. If General Sheridan had not been given another chance after he had engaged in a little affair which was considered a breach of discipline while he was a cadet the wonder is who would have been the right-hand cavalry leader of Grant during the Civil war. A few months ago Gen. Hamilton S. Hawkins died. He entered the military academy some time prior to the opening of the Civil war, but the authorities did not allow him to graduate. Hawkins was not discouraged by the failure and as soon as the Civil war broke out he offered his services to his country and was given a commission. He stald in the regular army until the time of his death and so strong was his love of the military academy that before his death he asked that he might be buried in the cadet cemetery. It was Hawkins' custom each year when he could get away from his command to visit the school where he had spent three years of his boyhood. He had just as strong a love for the institution as did any graduate in the army. Recently there has been a disposition on the part of the graduates of the military academy to give more consideration to the men who spent some time at the school, but who did not graduate. One class organization includes in its membership all the cadets who at any time were members of the class, and no distinction is made between graduate and non-graduate, even the offices of the organization being open to men who did not complete the course. Other class organizations are said to be preparing to follow the example of that of the members of 1884 and if the custom of taking into full brotherhood the non-graduates becomes general the belief is that good will come to the academy and the country. and his confinement for two years at Fort Leavenworth. Bagnall gets off with reduction to the grade of private, four months' confinement and the forfeiture of $13 a month. He will work his sentence out around the base of the statue, cleaning up such litter as the tributeless visitors see fit to make. The evidence showed that the two men arranged a scheme to tax all visitors ten cents a head for the pleasure of climbing to the head of the goddess, with the ever-burning torch, and the story was printed exclusively in the Herald at the time. While one of them took in the toll the other lingered about to give the collector a tip if an officer chanced to be bearing down upon the post exchange. Capt. D. J. Carr, commanding the post, is very proud of this pretty show station, and he broke up the game just as soon as he found what was in the air. STREET TRAFFIC OF PARIS. There are nearly half a million horses and motor vehicles of all kinds in Paris today, with 20,000 hand carts and 9,000 wheelbarrows. In 1909 65,870 accidents were caused in the Paris streets by 81,868 vehicles. These statistics are contained in a report drawn up by M. Emile Massard at the request of the Paris municipal council on the incumberment of the Paris streets. One of M. Massard's calculations shows that the street traffic of Paris, if stationary, would occupy 445 acres of the 2,079 acres of streets which Paris possesses. Last year 600,000,000 persons traveled by omnibuses and tramway, and there were 294,000,000 passengers on the underground railway.-Indianapolis News.

At a recent dinner of the Author's club in London to Mr. Owen Seaman, the editor of Punch, Mr. Walter Emanuel, another member of the staff of Punch, referred to the fact that the man with the largest sense of humor he had ever struck was an Englishman—a dentist. He went to him after suffering long with a toothache. He refused to have gas, and the dentist pulled out a tooth, leaving him writting in pain, and took the tooth to the window, where he laughed quite heartily. He groaned: "What's the joke?"

Let the youngsters have Post Toasties—superb summer food. "The Memory Lingers" Postum Cereal Co., Limited. Battle Creek, Mich. Having slowly walked out on the porch, the young woman summer resorter dropped into a chair without a word. "You look sleepy," remarked the man in the hammock. The summer resorter favored him with a glance of scorn. Then she leaned forward. "Did you ever resuscitate a drowned bluejay?" she inquired. The girl at the table who was writing a letter, and the man who was repairing a fishline dropped their work and stared at her. The man in the hammock gasped feebly. "Huh!" he said impolitely and unbelievingly. "Sleepy!" went on the summer resorter with emotion. "Who wouldn't be sleepy after getting up over and over again in the middle of the night while all the rest of you people were slumbering sweetly? I don't like arising in the early dawn when the little birds are singing and the fresh laid sun is rising, and I doubt the veracity of any person who claims that he does. I think he is putting it all on, just like those abandoned prevaricators who say they love cold baths and adore Strauss' operas! "Just because it inconveniently becomes daylight at 3:30 these days," went on the young woman summer resorter, "it is fatiguing to go prancing around at that hour and caroling things about the lovely morning sunshine! So you can imagine my bitter feelings, when I awoke this morning with an awful start at exactly four o'clock!" "Why didn't you stick your head under the pillow?" asked the girl at the table. "I always do when it gets light so early!" "It wasn't the light," said the summer resorter. "It was a noise. Something was flopping and splashing and hopping around out by the pump. Then I remembered the galvanized tub that stands there to catch the overflow water and I realized that a bird must have got in and couldn't get out. When I scrambled to the window I could see the tips of its wings whenever it flopped into the air. It was just awful! So I grabbed a kimono and slippers and flew!" "Most appropriate method of locomotion," murmured the man with the fishline, "inasmuch as it was a bird—" "When I got there," pursued the summer resorter ruthlessly, "it had stopped flopping. It was a perfectly gorgeous bluejay and it was standing on its tail on the bottom of the tub with its beak barely above water. I spilled it out and picked it up. It merely opened its mouth and gasped feebly and rolled its eyes. One more minute and it would have been dead. So I carried it in on this porch and laid it down and hadn't an earthly idea what to do. It seemed choking to death." "You should have rolled it on a barrel," said the man in the hammock. "Artificial respiration would have been better," suggested the man mending the fishline. "You are both brutes!" said the summer resorter indignantly. "I knew its poor little tummy and lungs were full of water and I did hold it upside down and shake it, but it only strangled. Then I propped it again's a sofa pillow on the floor in the sun and determined to leave it to its fate while I went back to bed. But I couldn't sleep a wink worrying about it, so every ten minutes or so I'd get up and sneak out to see what the bluejay was doing. "The first time he had fallen over on his side and was feebly kicking with one foot. When I picked him up and set him straight again he let out a most pathetically feeble 'che-e-ep!' So I petted him and said I was sorry and he seemed to appreciate it. At any rate, he didn't act any more afraid of me than he would if I had been his own mother. "The next time I went out he had fallen over on his back and curled up his toes and I thought it was all over. But when I set him up straight he cheeped again and wabbed his head. He was so helpless and babyfied and so clearly didn't like the way his tummy and lungs felt that I almost wept over him. "Well, this progressive first aid to the injured went on till six o'clock. If I straightened that bluejay up once and set him on his feet and smoothed down his feathers as though they were a pinafore I did it a dozen times. And besides he demanded so much verbal sympathy. He seemed to feel better if I stayed and talked to him. "I think that finally I did go to sleep, because it was seven o'clock when I went out to the porch again and then I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a big, smoothly preened bluejay with his crest magnificent in the sunshine flying about trying his best to get out through the porch screens. When I went near him he cawed raucously and flew from me in the most abject terror. "It was my drowned bluejay, recovered and superbly ungrateful. He simply glared at me when I remonstrated with him, so I opened the screen door and shooed him out and he went and perched on the top rail of the fence, where he appeared to think it over. He's gone now. "I am so mad at his rudeness that I wish I had gone to sleep and let the foolish thing drown. Three hours I wrested on him!" "Try the barrel method next time," insisted the man in the hammock. You Look Prematurely Old After Suffering With Kidney Disorders for Many Years. Mrs. John S. Way, 209 S. 8th St., Independence, Kans., says: "For a number of years I was a victim of disordered kidneys. My back ached sage of the kidney constantly, the pascrections was irregular and my feet and ankles were badly swollen. Spots often appeared before my eyes and I became very nervous.

For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. There Should. Fritz the gardener was a stolid German who was rarely moved to extraordinary language. Even the most provocative occasions only caused him to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not long ago he came back from the city in the late evening after a hard day in the market place. He was sleepy, and the train being crowded, the baggageman gave him a chair in his roomy car. Finally the train reached Bloomfield. Fritz still slept as it pulled in and his friend had to shake him and tell him where he was. "I tanks you," said Fritz, as he rose slowly to his fete. The open door of the car was directly in front of him. He walked straight out of it. The baggageman sprang to look after him. Fritz slowly picked himself up from the sand by the side of the track, looked up at the door, and said with no wrath in his voice: "There should be some steps." —St. Paul Dispatch. SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD NOT SLEEP "I write to tell you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Remedies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H. Klernan, 663 Quincy St., Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1909." Wife and Country Paul D. Cravath, the noted New York lawyer, said at a luncheon at the Lawyers' club: "Vacation time is here, and already that dreadful song about the wife gone to the country is being resurrected. But a variant to the song was furnished by a conversation I overheard the other night. " 'Hello, Smith,' said one man to another, 'I'm glad to see you back at the club again, old fellow. Wife off to the country eh?' " 'No,' growled Smith. 'She's got back.' A Protection Against the Heat.

WHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE Apt Remark of Small Boy Embarrassed Toper and Filled Car With Merriment. Jimmie, who is a very small boy living in the East end, accompanied his mother downtown several days ago. Nearly everything he saw was quite new to him, so he was not sparing in his comments and opinions and questions. Seated opposite Jimmie and his mother on the car homebound was an individual who, judging by the "blossom" on his nose, had partaken freely of joy water. None of Jimmie's neighbors possessed an appendage that could compare with the one across the aisle. In silence Jimmie took in the situation and the "blossom." His thoughts must have grown so curious that they could not be withheld any longer and he finally blurted out in a loud voice: "Mamma, is that Santa Claus?" pointing to the man with the red nose. Embarrassed, Jimmie's mother tried to silence her son, but it was no use. In an audible whisper the connection between the man and Santa Claus was disclosed much to the discomfiture of the man. "Why, mamma, didn't it say in that story about Santa Claus that Santa had a 'nose like a cherry,'" he asked, and the car was in an uproar.—Pittsburg Times-Gazette. Judges' Wigs The wig is only worn by English barristers to give them a stern judicial appearance, and no one can say that it falls in this respect. The custom was originated by a French judge in the seventeenth century when, happening to don a marquis' wig one day, he found it gave him such a stern and dignified appearance that he decided to get one for himself and wear it at all times in court. This he did, and the result was so satisfactory from a legal point of view, that not only judges, but barristers, also, took up the custom throughout Europe.

AGENTS WANTED. 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." "Hum!" commented the other woman, enviously. "If I had a $50 corset I'd wear it on the outside. I really would."

Burt during his term of office was when he demaceded and accepted the registration of one Fitz. Stevens who was a member of the department. Any police department is better with men who entertain views like those expressed by Stevens off the department than on it. TOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION Citizens Resented Being Voted for as Town's "Meanest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tightwads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a cigar store there, was fine five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Conspicuous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and stald citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was ordered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Cor, New York Sun Send for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine.

Whirlwind Campaign It has been many years since Sedgwick County witnessed such a strong, clean and aggressive campaign such as Judge Jessis D. Wall put up in his recent race for Probate Judge. Although Judge Wall was the last to enter the race he won out in flying colors. Indeed, this is a day of pust and energy. JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING Would-Be Suicide Not Completely Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry themselves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. -There would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. Fools. What do you suppose feels were made for? 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 IGH IN CIVILIZATION'S SCALE. Jnknown Peoples of America Who Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norden's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples swelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of delicate richness of color and fineness of texture so fabric of to-day suppresses it.
