YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER White Men Assault Little Colored Girl Two White Men In Wichita Brutally Mistreat and Assault A Little Undersize Colored Girl. WILL THEY BE PUNISHED? TWELTH YEAR White Men Little C Two White Men In Mistreat and A Undersize WILL THEY B One of the most heinous, cruel and inhuman crimes that have been committed in this community for many days was committed upon the person of little Rose Hall, an undersized colored girl of this city by two white men last Friday night. Had the victim been a white igrl and her assailants colored, instead of as the case now stands, there is no question of the state of the public mind and it is useless to attempt to narrate what stand the white daily press would be now taking. Instead of giving this serious crime no attention, as the daily white press has done, they would be now loud in their cry for the blood of the perpetrators of this most heinous and brutal offense. As the case now stands, it has required the united effort of such colored men as Richard Watson, H. W. Marshall, James Howard, John Howell and the editor of the Searchlight to get the proper county official to even take official cognizance of the matter. And contrary to all requirements in matters of so serious an offense, such as is this case, and where there is no question of the commission of an offense and who committed it, the Deputy County Attorney would take no action in the premises till the wronged little girl's parents and relatives produced a lot of matters which it was the duty of the county attorney's office to perform and find out. The colored men named and others went to see the Deputy County Attorney about this matter Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and so little did the Deputy County Attorney care for such matters, seemingly, that we got in a big Wednesday and drove out in the country and left word with those working to give this little outraged colored girl justice, that he would be "back tomorrow." The Searchlight has the utmost confidence in the people of this community and for their sense of justice and fair play and we believe that it is the opinion of all the people of this community, that when --- a heinous, revolting crime has been committed, the perpetrators should be brought to the bar of justice and dealt with accordingly. Story of the Crime. The following is an account of the crime as given to the Searchlight: Rose Hall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hall, a very small girl for her age, which is about seventeen years, worked for a lady on South Emporia avenue. Last Friday evening it seems that htis lady desired to go to the theater and got permission from the mother of Rose Hall that Rose could stay at her house to be with her children while the lady went to the show. The lady is said to have promised the mother of Rose that she would look after the girl and see that she got home safe all right. Upon her return from the opera house, she is said to have brought another woman with her home and told this little colored girl that she would have to go to her own home as the white woman did not have room enough to keep her over the remainder of the night. It was then far into the turn of the night, about eleven o'clock. It was dark and Rose protested, but to no avail. She left and wended her way north on Emporia till she reached Douglas avenue and there she was turned around and meeting two white men while standing on the corner she asked them if they would tell her where she could find Wichita street, saying she was lost. The white men told her that they were going to Wichita street and they would show her. She followed them and instead of taking this little lost colored girl to Wichita street they led her to their house at the corner of 18th and Topeka. Several times on the way the little colored girl stopped and said that it did not look like they were going to Wichita street. But on the advice of the men that they would lead her safely she was led on. When they reached the house, one of the white men is said to have gone around the house, opened the door, and then the two of them pulled Rose into the house and before she could realize what they were about, they had dragged her into an adjoining room and while one of the white men held her so she could not scream the other poured some liquid matter into her mouth and the girl says that that is the last thing that she remembers until she came to herself after the effects of this drug had died out. She found that she was in a strange place, all bleeding and bruised, and she made a loud outcry for help which was answered by the neighbors, among whom were Richard Watson and Sam Isler, two colored men who live near by. When the girl made her outcry one of the white men ran while the other was caught by the neighbors and held till the police could be summoned. The one white man arrested was named Al Banish and he was tried in the police court on the charge of lewdly abiding and was given the heaviest fine possible by Police Judge Jesse D. Wall, which was $100.00. Banish was fined by Judge Wall Saturday night and on Sunday his fine was paid in full and, of course, he was set at liberty. Judge Wall said from the bench that Banish should be sent to the pen for his offense and made a personal appeal to the Deputy County Attorney to issue a warrant for the arrest of the man. Up till Wednesday night the County Attorney had taken no action in this serious matter. No matter whom the victim may be, whether a white woman or a white girl, a colored woman or a colored girl, any man, white or black, who will assault one of them should be dealt with to the FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW. Otherwise men's wives, daughters, mothers and sisters are unsafe in our community. The colored people of this community nor the Searchlight do not ask that anything save that the law and justice should be supreme in this case and that this colored girl's assailants should be dealt with according to the crime which they committed. We only ask that these white men be punished for so heinously and cruelly assaulting this little colored girl with the same law which would punish any other man for committing a like crime. Rev. G. T. Wooten, pastor of Cabbell's M. E. Church, left this week on an extended visit to Manhattan, Kan., and Moberly, Mo., where he will visit friends and relatives before going to attend his conference. AUGUST 20, 1910. EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS. Conference of Negro College Presidents Gives Valuable Information. At the fifteenth annual conference of Negro college presidents recently held in Atlanta, Ga., it was found that there were in the United States 3,015 negro graduates from institutions of higher learning. Some of the leading institutions of learning which have graduated negro students are Harvard 36, Yale 22, Oberlin 159, Cornell 11, Brown 14 and Berea 35. Among the institutions represented at the conference were Howard, Fisk, Lincoln, Wilberforce, Claflin, Walden, Talladega and Virginia Union. Boards represented were the Slater fund, the Jeanes fund and most of the church educational societies. The above is highly encouraging to the great host of young men and women of our race who are making most all kinds of sacrifices in order to get a collegiate education. We need doctors, lawyers, teachers and preachers of trained minds to look after the needs of our people along the line of their professions. The attitude of the conference gives inspiration. GOLD BELT FOR JOHNSON. Nation Wide Movement by the Race to Honor Champion. Headed by "Baron" Wilkin of New York and sporting men in other cities a movement is on foot to secure by public subscription to the amount of $25,000 a diamond studded gold belt for Heavyweight Champion ack Johnson. The movement is to be national in scope, so as to afford members of the race throughout the United States an opportunity to share in the honor. Already, it is said, $5,000 has been contributed by New Yorkers alone. The belt is to be of solid gold, studded with 200 diamonds of different sizes. The center stone is to be in weight more than four carats. It is the intention of the promoters of the idea to have the required amount in hand by the early part of November or December. John H. Jones and Mrs. Mattle Durfrey were united in marriage last week. The marriage was in the nature of a surprise to many of their friends who wish for them a happy married life. A Card of Thanks We desire to express our heart felt thanks to the people of this city, who attended our Music Re cital last Wednesday night at St Paul Chapel. Such an audience is seldom brought together in New York or Chicago, who looked better, nor more appreciative. A word will not be out of place to commend the talented young people who assisted so splendidly, especially Miss Irma Clark, the accompainist. This young woman, a Wichita product, should be encouraged by the citizens at large by sending their children to her for piano lessons. Miss Clark will have charge of my pian students during my absence and I sincerely hope the people will support her. She has practiced with me all summer and has shown herself capable of grasping the method. She will coach our vocalpupils each week in the practice of their songs and studies. Believe me, yours sincerely N. Clark Smith, Bandmaster Tuskegee Institute OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA (Special to the Wichita Searchlight) One of the grandest celebrations ever held in this city was held at city park Friday, Aug. 12. About 1000 Sir Knights and daughters and friends turned out. The occasion being the 38th anniversary of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. The celebration was under the management of Rough Rider Temple No. 31, and Rising Suh Tabernacle No. 5. At 3 p. m. Sir R. Dumas and Sir J. H. Andrews escorted Sir C. M. Johnson, Grand Presiding Prince, of Omaha, of the Kansas-Nebraska jurisdiction to the pavilion and introduced Sir Johnson, the Grand Presiding Prince to the Sir Knights and Daughters of Oklahoma. Sir Johnson in a few well-chosen remarks thanked the officers and members and friends of Oklahoma City for the royal welcome that he received, and congratulated Oklahoma City Sir Knights and Daughters upon the success. An interesting program consisting of athletic contests and drill by the maides and pages under the direction of Dt. Sarah Baxter, marshall of the day. Following the program an old fashion barbacue dinner impaired good cheer to all present. The remainder of the time was spent pleasantly in a social way with music and dancing. This was the most enjoyable affair ever given here and congratulations are deserved for all the faithful officers and memebrs and the committee for their splendid work. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Woods entertained Mr. C. M. Johnson of Omaha, James Milton Webster of Chicago and Miss Mary Miner of Hot Springs, Ark., with an automobile ride from Oklahoma City to El Reno after which the party was taken to Mr. Woods' farm 10 miles from El Reno where a reception was given in honor of Mr. C. M. Johnson, covers were laid for twenty. NO.19 In every avenue of life. In the solution of every porblem, no matter how tedious and how hard it may be. In the adjustment of all the affairs of men and nations—when one looks at the real solution, in the right and proper light, when we face those conditions in their natural and unadulterated state, all will find that the "Individual Effort"—the making the matter personal—will be of more force and count for more real good accomplishments than all other efforts hich it is possible for man to employ. Make the matter personal and get the individual man or the individual woman interested and the problem is then and there solved. In the great work of "Race Uplift"—in the herculean efforts to raise a race or a nation, before the real results can be seen or fully appreciated, the one man, the one woman, the individual, must be touchel. Matters not how important or how unimportant, the question may be, the solution still remains the same. If a young man or a young woman would reach the heights of success and build for himself or herself a name of renown and of note, they must first make their start on themselves, make the application purely and simply a personal matter and the work is then done. Character building, reputation and standing are all the work of the individual effort. No man is able to build up a great name, a splendid character or an honored standing for his neighbor or his friend, he may assist, but the real character building, the real good reputation and standing is a thing which can only come from individual effort. Individuality, let that be the "Key-word" of one's life and all else will come therefrom. Let every man, every woman and every boy or girl in our race, and in all other races for that matter, resolve that he or she will be a greater man or woman, a more honest, industrious and faithful, loyal and peacable person than any one else, make i individual, and you are on the right road. Let all make a self examination—"Am I all that I should be?" Make the application personal, then it will be that the real good results can be seen.

To be sure it gets little in the matter of attention, but in ways more substantial it is rewarded handsomely. For it is permitted to levy toll upon the corn and the wheat, the cabbage and the apple, as they grow. It is allowed to eat the profits of the miller and the grain dealer. Certain members of the shrilling tribe go farther and demand greater concessions in their greed. Not satisfied with money tribute, they exact human lives. Their gruesome tracks are made upon the faces of little children. Then from places where poverty forces women and babies into filth and sickness, they take wing and they bear their death message into homes fair and clean—homes where the inmates cannot concern themselves with life's wretched ones. And so nature in her inexorable circle from which neither the proudest nor the poorest can escape, herself supplies the link which brings the miserable home to the fair one. But reducing it to a dollars and cents basis which all of us understand, what would you say the insects of this country cost us each year? Millions of dollars! More in fact than our entire system of public school education, from the kindergarten to the university! Moreover whole sections intended by nature for the production of particular crops often are compelled to abandon them for no other reason than insect infestation. This is especially true of horticulture. Myrlad, indeed, are the insect foes that infest vegetables and fruit. If ever the life of this underworld is brought upon the stage as that of the barnyard has been, it may well open with this plaint of the truck grower: The insects are busy in clover and grass, A-hatchin' out sorcer fer my garden sass, They're happily hummin' this giddy re-frain The old mule will still be your airy-plane. Now the farmer has found himself helpless before this foe which must be fought with microscopes and laboratory mysteries. Consequently he has appealed to the man of science whom everyone despises in the day of prosperity and rushes to consult when the world is awry. Let me tell you of what has been accomplished by one man with a microscope. His name is Stephen A. Forbes and he is state entomologist of Illinois. His chief work in this position is to exterminate "economic insects," as those which damage the growing things are called. He is also head of the state laboratory of natural history and professor of entomology in the University of Illinois. He has held these offices 25 years, which means that he has spent a quarter of a century fighting the predaceous instincts of economic insects, barring an occasional short lapse to fight the economical instincts of state legislatures. Naturally he is on intimate terms with a vast number of bugs. For a practical knowledge of an insect, the ability to recognize it in all its phases is a mere beginning. Its dietary must be known, not only what it prefers but what it likes next best and what it will eat to escape starvation; how the weather affects its health, its temper, and its power of multiplying; is it subject to contagious diseases? If so, how may it be induced to catch one? Also it is well to know how its neighbor bugs regard it. Whether the sight of it arouses the instinct to protect or the instinct to kill. For there are bugs so kindly disposed toward other bugs that they will carry them to their food supply, hatch their eggs for them, and bring up their offspring. The solo duties they leave to those they protect are breathing, eating and multiplying. First let me tell you about the fight against the chinch bug. As everyone knows, the chinch is a devil-devastator whose evil intentions are backed with energy and resourcefulness. When it starts to take what it wants from the farm there is just one thing it leaves—the mortgage. For more than a generation scientists in all parts of the country directed their intelligence against its instinct; and instinct won the victory. It seemed that reason could not fathom the cause of the outbreaks nor find a way to prevent them. In despair the men of science were for saying as did the old Irish woman of the rain that spoiled her potatoes, "There's no raison in it, it's just the will of God!" And right there it seemed the problem would have to rest. But an occasional persistent brain was unable to accept this solution. Observations went on not only week by week but day by day, and often even hour by hour. Even so it was a work that proceeded slowly. The chinch bug was hard to make rules for. Indeed, it seemed more an exception to rule than the French language. For instance, scientists flattered themselves that one thing was proved concerning his chinchship viz., the abandonment of wheat culture meant an end to chinch bug ravages. But farmers made the sad discovery, quite unintentionally, you may be sure, not at all for the sake of enlightening the men of science, that the abandonment of wheat may even increase the chinch devastation. For if they have become numerous and can find no wheat, they will accept oats, barley, grass or corn. The abandonment of wheat to be effective against the chinch, must take place at the beginning of an outbreak. Therefore Dr. Forbes straightened his mortarboard, polished his microscope and prepared for wholesale slaughter. He was going to wade deep, not in gore but in bug juice. The HERE is an underworld not invaded by novelist or playwright. Yet in it occur strange and often subtle dramas of survival and destruction. Nor is it a noiseless underworld. Every evening after a hot sunset it forms an orchestra which shrills out its prowess and faunts By BERT E. POWELL ANT White Grub in its Four Stages: June Beetle, Egg, Grub and Pupa. Consequently letters were sent among the farmers, asking for boxes of sound bugs. These bugs were to be given the disease and returned with directions for spreading it. The response was surprisingly immediate. Boxes of bugs poured into the express offices and yet more boxes of bugs. Farmers from neighboring states heard of the offer and they, too, went bug hunting. The express companies worked overtime. The assistants in the entomologist's office became mere undertakers for bugdom. The mouldy bugs were sent out on their beneficent mission of destruction. Then the results came in. They varied; they did, indeed. Some thought the entire entomologist's office should be fitted out with a golden, glorious halo as the rescuer of its country; others alas! thought a fool's cap would fit the case more exactly. But although the disease project could not be called a complete success, means were found which make it possible to raise grain even in the very worst of the chinch outbreaks. The barrier methods and sprays with a kerosene emulsion will catch them every time. Just after harvest the scarcity of food in the wheat fields arouses in the chinch an instinct to migrate. On foot it sets out to get an appetite for corn. This is the time to make a ridge between the infested field and the field the chinch desires to infest. This is done by plowing a backward furrow which is packed with a light roller or by hand and has a line of tar poured upon it from a can with a tubular spout. Post holes are dug at intervals of about twenty feet. By keeping the tar line fresh his chinchship cannot cross, but will follow it to the posthole, into which he speedily tumbles. It then is merely pleasant recreation for the farmer to travel out and pour a weak solution of kerosene upon his accumulated enemies. Kerosene is an excellent death dealer for these pests. When they get into the cornfields the farmers of Illinois sally forth with an emulsion containing four per cent. of kerosene and half as much whale oil soap mixed by five minutes simple beating with a stick. This is flirted by hand upon the corn in the cool of the day when the insects feed most thoroughly and when there is less danger of injury to the corn. Sometimes a single application does the work; when the infestation is very bad two and even three may be required. Now let us talk about corn exclusively for a while. With that staple at its present price and with the grave gentlemen who produce statistics as hens produce eggs—the louder the cackling, the smaller the statistic—assuring us that it is on its lofty perch to stay, it seems that the farmer will have to cultivate automobiles and bad habits as obesity cures for his bank account. But, halt! Nature provides several. There is the weather, more exasperating and with less regard for a poor CORN ROOTAPHIS AND ITS ATTENDANT ANT : Winged Female, Two Wingless Females, Egy and Pupa of Aphis, and Worker Ant. first plan was to present the chinch with a contagious disease. It had been observed that it was subject to a fungous disease similar to that of the common house fly, which left the dead covered with a white mould. Why not spread it? It was tried upon the university fields and the bugs took it most obliquely and died most successfully. Before it could be considered more than an experiment, however, it was necessary to try it on a larger scale. ering the way to conquer a pair of these precious rascals that Dr. Forbes has made his most valuable single contribution to science. They are the corn field ant and the corn root-aphis or, as it is better known, the corn root louse. For a long time they were the particular scourge of the corn grower who supposed that they operated each on its own account. Through the research of Dr. Forbes it is now known that one is helpless without the other. The resourceful and industrious ant is entirely unable to extract the coveted sap from the corn root, and the stupid aphis would, if left to itself, starve in the very presence of the corn. But the ant can carry the aphis to the corn root and deposit it thereupon; the aphis can extract the sap and then exude it, thus passing it on to the ant. Therefore it was not a problem of exterminating two foes but of outwitting the clever little ant. Were it banished, the aphis would soon disappear. The wretched little soft-bodied hunk o' creation can do nothing for itself except lay eggs and suck corn sap. The ant gives it a home in its own burrows, hatches its eggs for it, carrying them to the warm surface if they are slow, bearing them farther into the ground if they threaten to hatch before its food supply is ready. And this protection extends through the aphis' life. If, because of plowing or other inadvertence, the ant finds its charges scattered, it will cheerfully collect them and reconstruct its home if that has been molested also. The ant has nothing else to do and it is as active as an outraged Puritan conscience. However, methods of control have been found. The use of the disk and crop rotation will exterminate them. The rootaphis refuses entirely to occupy ground planted to oats, so this crop is of the greatest importance in clearing fields of them. Also by disking or three times with a 20-inch disk in spring, especially on a sunny day when the ants are likely to have their charges near the surface, they will be killed and scattered and their nests so broken up that even the enthuslastic little ant cannot reconstruct the colony. Another enemy of the corn that Dr. Forbes has caught by cultivation is the bill bug, as certain beetles are called because of their long, hard snouts, which they poke into the farmer's business to ruin it. This time the cultivation must be with the plow instead of the disk and in the autumn instead of spring and in the fields of grass where the bill bugs breed. These bugs are distinguished by a belligerency which is only equal by their strength of claw. One variety appeared in Illinois which looked so large to the harassed farmers that it was christened "elephant bug." Chickens turned into the fields to feast upon them fled in flapping, comical flight, unable to relieve their terrified souls by a squawk, as their bills were tightly held together by the DR STEPHEN A.

By preference they devastate grass, but if the supply is scant, they are willing to ruin small grain, corn, strawberry plantations, woodlands, and, indeed, many other situations. They are especially difficult to combat because the life history is hard to follow from the first to the last stage. Only a single specimen has been bred from the egg to the beetle and its life cycle occupied three years. So far the best remedy has been found to be in cropping, especially in planting the infested ground to clover. Well-known enemies of the white grub also are the festive porker, which will dig a foot for a nice fat one, and crows and crow blackbirds. Occasionally a farmer notices that a field which has been brown from a grub ravage becomes green and alive. He is inclined to think it a clear case of the Lord remembering the righteous; as a matter of fact another insect has appeared and is working out another set of instincts. This is the Tiphia, a member of the solitary wasp family. It stings the grub into submission and then glues to its thick hide an egg which in a few days hatches into a veritable vampire. It sucks from its host its life juices, leaving the shell to crumble back to earth. Trees, both those in natural forests and those which have been planted, "noble and helpless products of nature," to quote Dr. Forbes, are often dragged to a slow and unsightly death through insect infestation. Have you never late in May or in June noticed upon shade trees little wads of cotton? Each wad, you will see, if you look, projects from a brown cap, which is the female maple scale. It is a native insect parasite of the soft maple. It will infest, besides the maple, the linden, box elder, elm and honey locust. These cotton wads are the soft bed in which the careful female lays her eggs, and each female can be relied upon to deposit something like 3,000 eggs in her own particular little wad. Dr. Forbes found after considerable experiment that a kerosene emulsion was effective in disposing of these pests. A 20 per cent. emulsion could be used in winter if the roots of the trees were protected, and a 10 per cent. in summer. It is made by dissolving one pound of common soap in one gallon of water by boiling. This is removed from the fire and two gallons of kerosene poured in. With a spray pump the mixture is then forced back into itself for about five minutes, when it will look like a thick cream, and no longer separates on standing. Seventeen gallons of water added to the three gallons thus prepared will give a 10 per cent. solution. The cost will be 4.3 cents a gallon and three or four gallons will save a large tree from destruction. Doubtless you have noticed upon the apples you brought home in a paper bag and those that fell from your own cherished tree a crescent mark. This means that a busy little curculio has had its beak in your apple before you and has probably laid an egg at the sign of the crescent curculios. A spray compound of $12\%$ ounces of acetate of lead and four ounces of arsenate of soda to fifty gallons of water, if used three or four times, will catch practically all these orchard destroyers. Among the insects injurious to health the common housefly takes first rank. Dr. Forbes has found that 75 per cent. of the common housefiles breed in horse manure. As the remedies that will kill the housefly maggots are too dangerous to be used in stables, except boiling water, which is hardly practicable, the only protection seems to be in screening stables against files as we do our houses and in careful city sanitation. encircling claws of what were meant to be their banquets. As for sprays, the bugs throw upon them. Dr. Forbes had his assistants in the fields before it was found that plowing the infested grass in the autumn would practically do away with the pest. Of all the foes which the agriculturist must fight, none presents a more difficult problem than the white grub. For one thing, there are many species.

Can you imagine yourself "Far from the maddening throng," living in a bungalow like this with never a care or a thought except the comfortable exertion of breathing the pure air from the fields or the woods? To suggest this to the tired city dweller who is caged in a flat may seem cruel, yet even he or she hopes sometime to live amid such surroundings. A bungalow like this fills the day dreams of thousands of people who are able to keep up their ambition by the hope of some time being far away from the scenes of confusion and bustle that tax the nerves and the strength. Now to come down out of the clouds to more practical things. The plan of this bungalow, you will observe, is simplicity itself. There is more porch than house. And while there are only three rooms, we shall see how roomy the structure can be made. The porch extends all around the house with steps on each of the four sides. This porch is five feet three inches wide. At a very small expense the open spaces between the pillars of the porch can be screened in and screen doors provided at the entrances. Divisions or partitions of tapestry can divide thus the entire porch into outdoor bedrooms. Privacy or protection against beating rains or sunshine can 1930 be provided by the placing of canvas shades on rollers at the openings. houses on roofters at the openings. This plan is an ideal conception intended for the man or woman who wants to live outdoors. In fact, it is a compromise between the outdoors and the indoors. The side of the porch, for instance, adjacent to the kitchen, can be utilized as an outdoor dining room, and if all the remaining porch space is not needed for bedrooms it can be set aside for other purposes. The building itself is 24 square feet, and the porches added make it 34 feet, three inches square. The living room, provided with window seats, as the plan shows, and a cheery fireplace for use in cold weather, or on rainy days, is 16 feet 3 inches long and 13 feet 9 inches wide. The kitchen is 10 feet long and nine feet PORCH 34'3"X5'3" SHEET KITCHEN 10'0"X9'0" BED RM 15'0"X9'0" CL LIVING RM 16'3"X13'9" PORCH 34'3"X5'3" Floor Plan wide. A closet is provided off the bedroom, and a pantry of ample size is placed off the kitchen. If the bedroom is not used on account of the porch being fitted up for sleeping quarters, this room can be used as a den or as a nursery. The people of this period have come to realize the value and hygienic necessity of plenty of fresh air. This has come about through long education. The fresh air cure for consumption is even now established as a fact and camps are maintained in many parts of the country for the treatment of this disease by the fresh air method. It is needless to say that no member of a family living in a bungalow like this will ever need treatment for that dread disease. The open window at night is the greatest safeguard against disease. It is in the winter when the windows are closed, shutting out the pure air, that most alliments are contracted. The bungalow displayed here can be built for a nominal sum. The interior of the house, for instance, where most of the money in building --- usually is spent, can be simplicity itself. The ceilings can be beamed and the sides of the walls finished with panels or with wainscoting and varnished or stained. As for the exterior, the design is admirably adapted to being finished with cement stucco. On the sheathing tar paper should be nailed and over this furring strips nailed. Then either expanded metal or wooden lath can be used. Two coats will be required. The first, or scratch coat, is a mixture of lime mortar containing plenty of hair. Before this coat is dry it should be scratched to make a holding surface for the cement mortar that is to be the finish coat. This coat can be applied to bring out any desired finish. The most popular finish in cement stucco is called the slap dash finish. It is applied by being thrown on with a trowel. It makes a rough finish most attractive. DISCLOSURES OF A WILL Prominent London Barrister Found to Have Been Wedded to His Servant for Many Years. One of the most unusual romances in many years was unfolded in London recently by the death of Arthur Joseph Munby, a prominent barrister of Fig Tree Court, 83 years old. His will disclosed the fact that for more than thirty-seven years he was wedded to Hannah Cullwick, a servant, and though the world did not know of the union, he was devoted to her and she had as her highest ambition to serve him and cook for him. He spent many THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGTON HUNTINGTON HUNTINGTON months of each year with her in Shifnal, and her relatives knew of the wedding, but his relatives were ignorant of the marriage. So devoted was Munby that he wrote verse to her. She did not care for books and learning and she had no comprehension of the vast learning of her husband or his wealth. She did not want to be dependent upon him and was accustomed practically all her life to work out. Munby had ample means to support her luxuriously, but she did not want to live in London, hating the city. Munby's business required him to spend part of the year there, but the remainder of the time was devoted to his wife. She died a few months before him, at the age of 84, but Munby did not change his will in which referred to her as a servant and said of her: "Hannah has always refused and still refuses to have the position which as my wife she might and could have had, and has always insisted, and still insists, on being my servant as well as my wife, her one grievance being that she cannot be my only servant, and whereas owing chiefly to this noble and unselfish resolve of hers I have never been able to make known of my said marriage to my family, or to the world at large, and the same is known only to her kindred and three of my most intimate college friends, of whom Robert Spencer Borland knows the full circumstances and knows her personally."—New York Press. A Humble Invention. To forget the inventions of the hour is an impossibility. They are before one at every turn, and many of them contain possibilities vast and much discussed. For that reason it is well occasionally to contemplate some invention of the past which works unremittingly and inconspicuously for the welfare of mankind. Consider the air brake. How many, when they take a journey by rail, ever take thought of the device which stands ready to insure safety from possible accidents? All are so used to the sibilant noise below the cars that they never consider its portentousness. Yet by this application of the power of compressed air, tens of thousands of lives have been preserved, and railroad travel has been made more expeditious. All this is arrrant trism; not a word of it but what has been said scores of times before. But we like to dwell upon the air brake as one of those typical inventions which are doing their work faithfully and humbly while recent creations get the glory and applause.—Collier's. --- Major Aldrich and His Watch When Clyde Lester, the portrait painter, found himself in a chair car on a train between New York and Philadelphia, and a handsome young girl occupying a chair only a few feet away, he felt that he had a moral right to study her profile. He did it in a dreamy sort of way, and he did not know that she had caught him at it. For an hour or more he was thinking how her face would look on canvas and for an hour or more she was saying to herself that he was a young man who lacked energy and ambition and would be heard of only among the dreamers. As Jersey City was reached and the passengers disembarked for the ferry the young girl became nervous and hurried out. the major who had a office with a letter came striding home and quivering chin. looked at him in all "Insult added to hoarsely exclaimed. "What is it?" "I was made a ma Bull Run for brave The regiment presse gold watch, suitably "We know." "Where is that wa Have you lost it?" "Lost it! Lost it! temptible scoundrel person when he res it's gone. Presented ery, and it's gone!" When Lester reached her chair on his way out he saw her silver purse lying on the floor. He picked it up and hurried out to find the loser among the crowd hurrying to the boats, but the young woman was nowhere to be seen. He looked for her as his boat headed across to Chambers street, but he decided that she must have taken the other ferry. When the purse was opened it was found to contain a few dollars in money, a couple of keys and a card bearing the words: "Miss Jessie Aldrich, Irvington." This information would save Mr. Lester the trouble of advertising for an owner. His mother and sister lived at Tarrytown, and he spent much of his time with them. He would drop off at Irvington and return the purse. He had been taken by the girl's face and wanted another and a nearer view of it. In his dreamy way he thought of things that might happen. When Miss Jessie Aldrich reached home, which she did because she had the luck to have a return ticket in her glove, she told her father of her loss. The retired Major Aldrich at once began to storm and roar. Such criminal carelessness he had never heard of before! No; it was worse than carelessness. She had probably fallen asleep in her chair and given some passenger a chance to pick her pocket. While only $12 had been lost, suppose it had been a hundred—a thousand? Supposing she had been carrying his medals and commission? Supposing she had had the family plate with her? Could she remember that any of her fellow passengers looked suspicious? Miss Jessie was provoked with herself and vexed with her father, and, thinking she must urge some excuse in extenuation, she replied: "Why, there was a gentleman with dreamy eyes who looked at me a good deal, but I can't say—" "He was a pickpocket!" shouted the major. "But he wasn't near me." "Oh, but he must have been, Dreamy eyes, ch? A thousand to one he got your pursuit!" "But I think he was a poet." "Poet be hanged! He was a robber! He could put on any kind of look he wanted to. I'd give a hundred dollars to get my hands on him." Two days later Mr. Lester was journeying up to Tarrytown. A friend shared the seat with him and was told of the purse. In reply he informed the artist that Miss Jessie's father was Major Aldrich, retired, and that he knew the ex-officer by sight. They were talking of the major when they reached Irvington. Glancing out of the window the friend exclaimed: "Why, here is our old war hero on the platform!" Acting on impulse, Mr. Lester hurried out of the car and approached the ramrod with the gray mustache. He thrust the purse into' one of his hands and his card into the other, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Your daughter's purse—dropped on the floor of the car—tried to find her, but couldn't—happy to restore it!" And then the bell rang and he swung himself on to the car. He was a little disappointed at not having come face to face with the girl, but rather glad to have the matter off his hands. The major did not come to himself until the train was out of sight. Then he inspected the card and purse. Then he started for home and reached it to say to his daughter: "Ah, ha, ha! I was right. I am always right. Your Raffles heard I was on his trail and he drops off the train to restore the plunder and placate me. Mumbled out something about finding your purse on the floor." "But perhaps he did. I know I had it in my lap just before I got up. A thief wouldn't bring it back and leave an address card at the same time." "But he had an object—an object! He may have hoped to get into the house and see how the windows were fastened. Did I serve 30 years in the army not to know the little games of confidence men and burglars?" The major went away to saw a board in two to repair the henhouse. He changed to an old suit of clothes to do it. He changed back when the work was finished. His wife and daughter had figured it out that the finder of the purse was a gentleman, and that the mystery of the return would some day be explained, when the major who had gone to the post-office with a letter after his work, came striding home with pale face and quivering chin. The two women looked at him in alarm. "Insult added to injury!" he hoarsely exclaimed. "What is it?" "I was made a major after second Bull Run for bravery on the field. The regiment presented me with a gold watch, suitably inscribed." "We know." "Where is that watch—where?" "Have you lost it?" "Lost it! Lost it! No! That contemptible scoundrel picked it off my person when he restored the purse. It's gone. Presented to me for bravery, and it's gone!" "But I'll catch the scoundrel! I'll live to do it. I'll live to see him in state prison for 20 years. There's your dreamy eyes for you. By the bones of Gettysburg—" It was no use to talk with the major. He was a roaring lion. He stamped up and down and muttered and mumbled and swore, and he even threatened to move out of the United States and take the oath of allegiance to Nicaragua. Meanwhile, Mr. Lester had reproached himself for his haste. The more he thought of that profile in the car the more he regretted. It was a brusque way of restoring lost property. Perhaps the major had not clearly understood him. It would be better to drop off the train and go to the house and explain all about it. Three days after the restoration of the purse, the portrait painter again swung down on the platform at Irvington. Major Aldrich at once seized him and called for help. Some queer influence had drawn the major to the depot again. Mr. Lester tried to explain, but was hustled to a police station. There he tried to explain again, but it was no good. "He robbed my daughter and he robbed me!" the major kept shouting. "I was looking for him, and I have got him, and to prison he goes!" Into a cell went Mr. Lester, and the major started for home to tell the great news. Half way there he met his daughter and she laid his watch in his hand and said: "I found it in your old vest. You forgot to take it out wuen you changed back." The major leaned up against a tree and shook all over. He had made the mistake of his life. He was a roaring lion of a major, but he was an honorable man. Be that as it may, the young man walked home arm in arm with the major and as they reached the house the profile had a smile for him, and he would have been a curious man not to have said to the man of war a year later: "Major Aldrich. I'm in love with Miss Jessie and want to ask her to be my wife." Taking Advantage Joseph H. Choate remarked recently at a dinner in New York, apropos of the movement toward barring insanity as a defence for murder: "The insane, you know, are too prone to take advantage of their weakness. A lunatic, out walking with his keeper, saw a case of beer in front of a grocery. He broke away, ran to the case, and, opening a bottle, began to drink it down, at the same time raming, with the other hand, other bottles into his pockets just as fast as he could. "Here, here,' said a policeman, 'this won't do.' "Go away,' was the reply. 'You can't do anything to me. I'm a lunatic and I'm not responsible for my actions.'" Was Reminded. An applicant for naturalization papers was being questioned by a clerk. "Where was your son born?" was asked him. "In one place," came the ready answer. "Yes, there are lots of places, but in which one; which town, city, or part of the country?" "Yes, that was alla right. He born in a city." "But what city?" and the clerk raised his voice. "What city? What place? Where?" The applicant's smile became more genial. "Yes, I know all datta now. He born at home." Two Good Stories of Children. A mother whose good little son came to her with a tale of horror concerning the "naughty talk" of a boon comrades was anxious, for various reasons, to know just what the small sinner had said. Her own boy hesitated long before consenting to repeat the verbal enormity, but finally, upon insistence, whispered behind his hand: "He said what papa meant when he says 'darn!' ". Still another diminutive fellow not at all used to bad language astonished his mother by casually remarking that it was "cold as the debbils" on that particular morn. Rubies as large as eighty karats have been made by "building up," that is, cementing one stone to another. The KITCHEN CABINET ET onion atoms lurk within the bowl And, half suspected, animate the whole." —Sidney Smith. DAINTY HOT WEATHER DISHES. Ices, ice creams and other frozen dishes are especially acceptable during the hot days. We are gradually overcoming the idea that they are difficult to prepare. With a burlap bag, a heavy wooden mallet, coarse salt and a little patience, a refreshing dessert may be ready in a little while. In freezing any mixture which is desired smooth and velvety, care should be taken that the first stirring is done slowly. In packing the cream after freezing less salt is used in proportion to the ice—one part to four is the usual measure, while for freezing use one part of salt to three of ice. If a larger proportion of salt is used or the freezer turned too rapidly at first the mixture will be coarse when frozen. This granular consistency is only desirable for frappe. As the mixture increases in bulk during freezing, the can should never be more than three-fourths filled. Do not draw off the ice water while freezing, for that is the process desired, as no change will take place inside the freezer until the ice melts. After the mixture is frozen draw off the water, repack and let stand to ripen. There are several kinds of frozen dishes. Sherbets are water ices to which gelatine of the white of eggs well beaten are added. Parfaits and mousses are similar; the former is given consistency by egg whites, the latter by gelatine. These dishes are not frozen by stirring, but are packed in ice and salt in moulds. A frappe is a water ice frozen to a mush; in freezing equal parts of ice and salt are used to make the mixture granular. Punch is water ice to which is added spirits and spice. HINGS which could never have made a man happy, develop a power to make him strong. Strength and not happiness, or rather only that happiness which comes by strength is the end of human living—Phillips Brooks. FAVORITE DISHES FOR HOT DAYS The cold fruit soups so popular among our foreign cousins are gaining in popularity each year in this country. They are so cooling and refreshing and at the same time contain some nutriment. Jellied soups are always more desirable than the hot article, especially on a hot day. When serving a dinner on the porch cold dishes are more satisfactory, as hot dishes are quickly cooled in carrying. A nice dessert for a hot day is made as follows: Fill sherbet cups one third full of lemon jelly made with gelathe and lemon juice, put a few bananas through a ricer, sprinkle with sugar and a little lemon juice, add this to the jelly in the cups, when it is set on this place a spoonful of whipped cream and it is ready to serve. A simple and refreshing dessert which is not so rich as ice cream is milk sherbet. Mix together the juice of three lemons and one and a half cupfuls of sugar, let stand until the sugar is dissolved, then add four cupfuls of rich milk and freeze. Turn the freezer handle slowly at first and the sherbet will be smooth as velvet; it is sometimes called velvet sherbet. SOMETIMES I set and think, and sometimes I just set." DIET, AND KEEPING COOL. A careful diet contributes to our comfort more than any other agency during the hot days of summer. We add and subtract clothing to suit the changes in temperature; but forget that the inside of our bodies is even more important than the outside. Hearty food and heavy clothing mean warmth to the body. The food in its combustion keeps up a steady heat; the clothing retains it. The heavy, hearty food that requires hours for digestion, causes the body to become heated like a furnace and the only relief is perspiration. The craving for cooling drinks if fully satisfied causes profuse perspiration and the danger from chills is ever present. When we remember that the diet of people in the tropics is largely fruit and rice let us follow their example and do likewise. Rice is easy of digestion, so that little heat is created. The slightly acid fruits, such as the lemon, apple, plum, orange and pineapple, cool the blood and thin it. As fruits are largely made up of water they quench thirst, thus proving their value both as food and drink. Olny perfectly ripe fruit has its juice fully developed and it will not keep long after this stage is reached. In the selection of fruits care should be taken that it is neither over ripe or under ripe. If under ripe it will be neither juicy nor wholesome; but if over ripe and decomposition has set in, it contains, often, polsonous principles which may produce serious results. Fruit should be on our tables the year round; but most of all in the hot months. It is not necessary to serve it encased in pastry or cake, as it is much more wholesome served perfectly plain. Get a good brand of macaroni, which does not split in breaking, drop into boiling, salted water to cook and when tender drain carefully, keeping warm until the dressing is added. With a little forethought the use of meat can almost be dispensed with during the heated months; for what gives discomfort does not yield sufficient return for the indulgence of the appetite. E THAT is of a merry heart hath a continual feast." "It was only a glad 'good morning.' E THAT is of a merry heart hath a continual feast." "It was only a glad 'good morning.' As she passed along the way; the morning's glory; Over the livelihood day. A SYMPOSIUM OF SALADS. Salads are always acceptable, especially during the hot summer weather when meats are too heavy for the lagging appetite. As a dessert there is nothing more appetizing than a simple fruit salad, and how much easier to prepare than the indigestible pastries that so many seem to think indispensable. What could be daintier and more appetizing than this: Arrange six or more large strawberries in a nest of head lettuce. Chill and serve with French dressing. Plain Safad. Put a few slices of tomatoes on lettuce leaves, sprinkle with chopped onion and serve with French dressing. Madison Salad. Chop four large cucumbers, one small onion and two tablespoonfuls of parsley, mix well with mayonnaise or French dressing and stuff tomatoes with the mixture. Cheese Salad. Add a tablespoonful of thick cream, a few chopped chives, a chopped green pepper and a dozen blanched almonds chopped, to a cake of cream cheese, mix well and make into little balls, roll in shredded lettuce and serve in lettuce nests with French dressing. Lyman Salad. Select long green peppers, cut in halves lengthwise, remove the seeds and white pulp and fill with grape fruit pulp, celery and apple finely cut and pecan meats, using half as much celery and apple as grapefruit and allowing three nut meats to each case. Arrange on lettuce and garnish with mayonnaise-dressing. Helpful Hints: One way to banish mice—a simple and ingenious plan consists of standing a small tub of water on a chair on a level with the shelf or cupboard most frequented by the mice and sprinkle thickly with oats. The oats float on the water, and give it an appearance of solidity so that the unsuspecting mice having a fondness for oats, walk in and are drowned. Sit at your work. There are any number of household tasks that may be easily done while sitting. It may be awkward at first, but practice will accustom one to the change. A stool sufficiently high to permit one to get a pressure on the iron will prove a great strength saver. One may sit preparing vegetables, picking over fruit, cleaning silver and a thousand and one duties which many stand to do. For a Quick Lunchon On a hot day when a quick luncheon is wanted try the following: Toast as many slices of bread as people to serve, butter it and on each slice place a thick slice of tomato, a tablespoonful of minced green pepper and onion then cover with grated cheese. Place under the gas flame and serve as soon as the cheese is melted. Serve with iced coffee and whipped cream. Frozen Cream Cheese Scald one pint of cream, add one and a quarter cupfuls of sugar and stir until dissolved. Flavor with vanilla and begin to freeze. When half frozen, stir in two cupfuls of cream cheese. Finish freezing and pack for two hours before serving. Give the baby orange juice several times a day. It may be given to very young babies. It is a hard thing not to make a baby a plaything, but the parents who really care for their children let them lie for hours alone, and they are handled only when being cared for. !

Recollections of the past, like a shadow of a great moving object, ev- ery once in a while comes over the mind of the editor of the Searchlight and with a smile at the thought of the millions of fleeting moments, the weeks of constant association, the months of friendly mingling and co- mingling and the more than half a score of years of labors with the peo- ple of the city of Wichita and com. munity, it is, indeed, a reminence of the past that bring most forcibly to his mind pleasantries of which any man may well feel proud, ‘With all the pleasant association which the editor of the Searchlight has enjoyed among the people of this city for the past twelve years, yet a backwaré glance at the mighty phanges which have been wrought among men, women and children dur- ing these years are sad, thought true. ‘Twelve years or about ago, the editor of this paper came to this city a stranger. He had no capital. His only assets and capital was an indomitable determination to succeed. He threw himself into the whirl of the city and has at all times stood on the firing Tines and at the front, How well he has done his duty—let others say, In taking a back-ward glance there looms up before us scores, yes hundreds, ‘of faces of men and women who were active and energetic in our commun- ity when we began our struggle. To ‘call the roll, would be almost criminal because scarcely is there a family in our city today who were here at that time, who would not have some dear one whose name is there. They have done their work well—let us not disturb them in their silent ‘slumber. The editor of the Search- ight feels that he has a right to con- ‘sider himself and his paper a part of ee community. He feels further that the tie which binds him and the people of this city are of more than a transitory nature—it is one earned by constant, honest, up-right labor, for and in the interest of his people. We know of no act of our life of which we feel prouder and which we pride more, than the years which we have spent among the people of this city and community, After twelve years of trial, the editor of this paper has been tried and is not found want ing.

We Do Good JOB Printing --- HIRAM JOHNSON IN CALIFORNIA GOLDEN GATE STATE JOINS LIST OF INSURGENTS. Congressman McKinley in Close Race in California Primary Election—Johnson Vote in County Strong. San Francisco, Cal.—Scattered returns from all parts of the state indicate that Hiram Johnson, progressive—Republican has been chosen for governor in the direct election by an overwhelming plurality over Charles F. Curry, Alden Anderson and Philip Stanton regular Republicans. Theodore Bell was the only candidate on the Democratic ticket. Johnson's principal support comes from the country districts. In San Francisco city and county Curry who is said to be an advocate of a liberal policy ran far ahead. While the nomination of Johnson places California in the list of insurgent states, it is claimed in some quarters that the heavy vote polled by him in the country districts was due to his association with Francis J. Heney in the prosecution of the San Francisco graft cases. The crusade met with popular approval in the country districts while it was not so popular in the more populous districts. Unless Johnson sustains big losses in the districts to be heard from he will win a substantial victory. The vote polled is about 75 per cent of normal. For congressmen indications are that Hayes, in the Fifth district; Englebright in the First, and Smith in the Eighth will be returned. Needham in the Sixth had no opposition. In the Second district indications point to a close vote between McKinley and Kent. MAY BRING OUT RUBBER FACTS The Motor Block Import Company Has Instituted a Suit Against Other Dealers. New York, — Suit has been started by the Motor Block Import company, an independent concern that deals in automobile tires that may lead to a complete exposure of the relations between the United States Rubber company (the manufacturing trust) and the Inter-Continental Rubber company (the producers' trust). In the controversy between Senator Bristow of Kansas and Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, the former contends that the latter, as boss of the senate at Washington and real head of the Inter-Continental Rubber company caused the tariff on rubber manufactures to be increased from 30 to 35 per cent advalorem for the benefit of himself and business associates.

Bernardson WASHINGTON STAR. HASKELL IGNORES THE COURTS ORDERS ALL STATE OFFICERS TO OKLAHOMA CITY. Says He Will Declare Their Offices Vacant Unless They Do So—Has Contempt for Court. Guthrie, Okla. — Despite the injunction sustained by the supreme court against the removal of the state capital to Oklahoma City, Governor Haskell has ordered all state officers to move their headquarters to Oklahoma city or else he will declare their offices vacant. One state official said they that refused to comply with Haskell's command, holding he, the governor, has no constitutional authority to remove them. Attorney General West has given an opinion to State Auditor Trapp advising him not to cash any warrants for state officers' expenses until the supreme court passes finally upon the state capital removal. It is stated railroads and other corporations whose tax assessments were fixed Saturday at Oklahoma City by the state board of equalization will oppose collection of the taxes because the board did not sit at Guthrie. "If this district court at Guthrie has any more contempt for us than we have for it, it's a bird," was all Gov. Haskell would say when informed contempt proceedings would likely be instituted against state treasurer McAfee, State Auditor Trapp and Secretary of State Smith for attending the equalization boards meeting at Oklahoma City Saturday. State Examiner Taylor said Gov. Haskell offered to pardon him if imprisoned for contempt of court if he would attend the meeting at Oklahoma City. But he declined.

New York, N. Y.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt's name was presented for the office of temporary chairman of the Republican state convention at the meeting of the Republican state committee here. His selection for that honor was lost by a vote of 20 to 15. The organization faction of the committee was against him. Vice President James S. Sherman was named as temporary chairman of the coming state convention by an unanimous vote, following the defeat of the motion to make Col. Roosevelt the temporary presiding officer. The committee selected Saratoga and September 27 as the place and time for the convention. The plan to make Mr. Roosevelt temporary chairman of the convention came from the progressive branch of the Republican party in New York. It was the intention to have the expresident open the convention and make a "keynote" speech that would express to New York and to the nation the latest word in Republican policies.

C.—The Mexican government is planning to make a public demonstration in favor of the cause of the Madriz faction of Nicaragua.

This information is now in the hands of the state department. Ruben Dario will go to Mexico City as the envoy of Madriz, who is recognized by Mexico as the president of Nicaragua. The Mexican republic never has followed the course of the United States government, which regards both Madriz and Estrada as the heads of de facto governments in control of separate sections of the country.

DEMOCRATS GIVE THEIR VIEW A Minority Report From the High Cost of Living Committee Blames Tariff and Trusts. Washington, D. C. — The Democratic members of the committee on the high cost of living have put forth their report taking issue sharply on causes as announced by Senator Lodge and the Republican majority members who exonerated the tariff and trusts. Senator Johnston of Alabama, who prepared the report for the minority says the substantial causes of advanced prices are the tariff, the trusts, combines and monopolies and the increased money supply. "We are without sufficient data," say the minority, "to impartition the degree of responsibility among these three causes, but that the two first are the chief malefactors we have no doubt; and they are of our own creation or permission." The report takes up Senator Lodge's report and answers it in detail. Senator Lodge blames the increased cost of living on the advance in farm prices; increased cost of production because of higher land values and wages; increased demand; immigration; farmers' combinations; over-capitalization and a higher standard of living. These are answered by the minority and generally denied. Statistics are given in refutation.

The government's efforts to aid the shelterless hordes of men, women and children have been futile.

A traveler to the north, having delivered his luggage to the care of an alert railway porter, proceeded to make himself comfortable in the corner of a first-class smoking compartment. The porter, having performed his duty, came to the carriage to report, not without expectation of acceptable reward." "Well," said the passenger, "I see by the letters 'G. N. R.' on your cap, 'Gratuities never received.'" "Not quite that, sir," replied the porter, touching his cap peak. "It might mean 'Gratuities never refused.'" And the way that porter smiled when he left the carriage betokened his satisfaction at the material result of his smart answer and the service he had rendered—Scraps. He Knew the Painless Process. The bald man had just come in and was still wearing his hat. He looked up from his desk at the thin young caller.

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON Per Cent. of Sufferers Is Enormous and There Seems but One Remedy. From several investigations that have beon made by the National As- sociation for the Study and Preven- tion of Tuberculosis, it 1s estimated that on an average about fifteen per cent. of the prison population of the country {s afflicted with tuberculosis. On this basis, out of the 80,000 prison ers housed in the penal institutions of the United States at any given time, not less than 12,000 are infected with this disease. If the Philippine islands and other insular possessions were taken into consideration the number would be much larger. Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan- sas and Ohio show such shocking con- dit ons with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these places of detention are death traps. Simflar conditions could be found in almost every state, and in the major- ity of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones. LEG A MASS OF HUMOR “About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg Just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale likeascab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch {t until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffer- ing during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply inde- seribable on paper and one has to ex- perience {t to know what it is. “T tried all kinds of doctors and rem- edies but I might as well have thrown my money downasewer. They would ary up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad {f not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cutl- cura Remedies a triat, After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a-dozen bottles of Cut!- cura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment, the trouble had entirely disap- peared and my leg was as fine as the day I was born, Now afteralapse of six months with no signs of a recur- rence I feel perfectly safe in extend- ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cutioura Remedies have done for me. I shal always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 B. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909.” One Side Enough. Senator William Alden Smith tells of an Irish justice of the peace out in Michigan. In a trial the evidence was all in and the plantiff’s attorney had made a long and very eloquent argument, when the lawyer acting for the defense arose. “What are you doing?” asked the Justice, as the lawyer began. “Going to present our side of the case.” “I don’t want to hear both sides ar- gued.

SIMPLE STATEMENT OF FACT Mr. Johnson Unable to See Where in Any Way He Had “Put His Foot in It.” It 1s common to deplore the lack of humor in a person. Yet the very want of it may save a certain amount of embarrassment, as was the case on a certain occasion with President Johnson. “He was one day,” says a writer in Harper's Magazine, “visit: ing my mother, and a friend, Mrs. Knox, a widow, came in. She had known Mr. Johnson some years be- fore, when he was a member of the legislature, but they had not met since then. ‘ “After mutual recognition, Mr. Johnson said, ‘How is Mr. Knox? I have not seen him lately.” “He has been dead six years,’ said Mrs. Knox. “‘T thought I hadn't seen him on the street,’ sald Mr. Johnson. “When Mrs. Knox left, my mother sald, laughing, ‘That was a funny mis- take of yours about Mr. Knox.’ “What mistake did I make?’ said Johnson. ‘I said I hadn't seen him on the street, and I hadn't.” Quaint Table Manners. Jerome S. MceWade, the Duluth mil- Nonaire, talked at a dinner about the delights of a backwoods vacation. “I go to a quaint backwoods village every summer,” he said, “and number- less are the quaint people I meet there. “Old Boucher, for instance, the jan- itor of the village church, is most amusing with his quaint ways. I had old Boucher to lunch one day, and the cold lobster was served with a mayonnaise sauce. When my servant offered this sauce to Boucher, the old man stuck his knife in it, took up a little on the blade, tasted it, then shook his head and said: “Don’t choose none.” Opinions Aired. “Were the commencement exer- cises interesting?” “Very.

GOOD BARGAINS IN SEWING MA CHINES. One of the most wonderful bargains in Sewing machines which has come to our knowledge in recent times are those offered by the Wichita Sewing Machine and Repair Co., at 326 N. Main street. We gave their store room at that address a call the other day and we saw good sewing machines which the Company would guarantee at prices from $1.50 up as high as one cared to go. This store fills a long felt want in our city among the average house-wife who needs a sewing machine, yet who is unable to pay the high price and on the stringent terms of the other. Aside from being able to get a good, cheap, sewing machine, this company also makes it a specialty to do all kinds of delicate machine repairing at living prices. They have all expert mechanics and every piece of their job work is thoroughly guaranteed. When down town give their store at 326 N. Main street a call. NEW MASONIC HALL FINISHED.

Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tight wads 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 fined 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. Consplucous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and stalid 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. Where She'd Wear It. 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." A Monster Loaf. Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Duisburg, 'n West phalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited, and afterwards cut up and distributed among the youngsters present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. normal, Sub-Normal, Musi- bracing courses in Archi- manical Drawing, Printing, Business Courses, Dress- ing, Laundering and Farming. ite to Bton French, ACTING PRESIDENT on University ARO, KS Office Phone 1423 Mrs. W.

Mrs. Georgian Roach, wife of aJckson Roach, was born in Todd county, Kentucky, August 15th, 1872. Professed faith in Christ early in life and united with the C. M. E. Church. She was married to Jackson Roach over twenty years ago. There were born to this union eleven children, seven girls and four boys. The four boys and one girl died i ninfancy. Seven years ago she with her husband and four daughters came to Kansas and settled in Newton. Here she united with the Second Baptist Church and continued to the day of her death. She died Sunday afternoon, August 7, 1910, age 37 years, 11 months and 22 days. She had been ill for more than a year and was a very patient sufferer. A few days before her demise she thirsted for the reading of the Word of @od and prayer. Even unto death she was ever mindful of others, ever ready to alleviate sorrow or pain. "She did what she could." The world is better for her having lived in it. Her life was hid with Christ in God, and heaven with all its glories, its Jaser walls, its golden paved streets, and its fountain of eternal life are her's forevermore. A husband, six daughters, one brother, three sisters, other relatives and many friends mourn her loss. The Church has lost a good member, the community a good neighbor, the children a devoted mother, the husband an affectionate wife, the brother, sisters and other relatives a loving sister and relative. And he has sweetly called her, To yonder shining shore. The golden gates were opened, A gentle voice said "come," And with farewells unspoken, She calmly entered home. To the grief stricken husband and daughters, brother, sisters and rel- atives, the writer extends the most hearty sympathy, with the hope that each may emulate her beautiful Christian life, also her patience and some sweet day by and by meet her before the great whit throne, and join her in the song of Moses and the Lamb. The senior and junior choirs of the St. James A. M. E. church render good music at Sunday's services. WINFIELD, KAN John Jackson has returned from Wichita where he went to attend to business. Mrs. J.

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. Peculler African Rac. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are of small size, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and filth, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kafira live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafue river. They build their huts on the great an heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafue is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mealies are likewise grown Getting Ahead of One's Self. "If I have anything to do that I particularly dislike, I start to work on it the first thing after breakfast, subordinating all routine work to that task," said a successful housekeeper recently. "One can expend enough nervous energy thinking about and worrying over an unpleasant duty to accomplish it. When it is finished and off one's mind early in the day, one gets ahead of one's self, so to speak."
