At the time of going to press, Friday, Aug. 26th., we are informed that the County Attorney's Office has failed to take any action to bring the two white men to justice who so cruelly, inhumanely and brutishly assaulted little Rose Hall, a colored girl. The action of the Deputy County Attorney is out of place and without reason or justice and casts an odium of disgrace upon the whole community.

That's All Religious Work Woman's Field Religious Work Woman's Field For the benefit of religious instructors, those who have the care and training of children and for our readers generally we reproduce here the principal part of a paper read before the New England Baptist Sunday school convention by Mrs. J, B. Long, of Providence, R. I., at its recent meeting in New York. Mrs. Long's subject was "Woman's Relation and Obligation to the Sunday School." She said in part: Because woman holds the destiny of humanity in her hands she is distinctively and essentially the God-appointed agent to draw humanity from its infancy heavenward and thus Godward. Therefore to any effort that inspires lofty thoughts and teaches such truths as will lead humanity into the right way of thinking and into the right way of living this shaper of human desting ought to link herself. By such a union she is not only prepared to better discharge her God-imposed duties, but by the help she receives her burdens will be made lighter. The Sunday school is one of God's agencies for molding character and since woman is God's sculptor, she is responsible to the Sunday school to the extent that she must use God's agencies or helps or suffer the penalty to be paid by all who ignore His methods and ```markdown ``` The Terrible Crime Of Helpless Colored White Men Fleshed By Officials NEY FAILS TO ACT.

That's All means of developing men and women. The Sunday school is the feeder of the church, and the church is the feeder to the chucmwyp'uUfvbgk—feeder to heaven. This is God's way. The hope of hristianity and of society is in the indoctrination of little children into the knowledge of God's truth. It is a grand thing to train the mind in the academies and in the colleges and universities to great intellectual achievements, but it is well to remember at the very start of a child's career that the diplomas of colleges and universities can never bring pardon for sin: How essential, then, is discipline in a school under the Man of Galilee, who trod the winepress alone and from whose association and acquaintance the child must get the moral and spiritual support so essential to successful service! Every woman is responsible for the religious training of every child she brings into the world. In all that she cannot teach him she must use theagency provided for hel help. And now it is plain that the Sunday school simply comes to the help of woman because of her awful responsibility in this matter of training the minds of the young to think their thoughts after God. All of us will agree that every mother is responsible for the secular education of a child, and, while few mothers are capable of performing their duty in this particular, they resort to secular schools for help. So is every mother responsible for the religious training of her child, and what she cannot do herself he must use other agencies in doi for her. Because the early religious teachings have much to do with the future inclination of the child the mother is responsible to the extent that she must always place it where it will have vital contact with the Savior. It is well to remember that as soon as a child learns to walk toward its parent and goes to them for protection it should be taught to walk toward God and to go to Him for guidance. Any woman who keeps her child from a knowledge of hrist by not making it possible for him to systematically study His word holds back a man or woman from salvation, and the millstone warning is verily to this woman who often ruins the whole day of life by denying the child the light that should come in the morning hours. The Sunday school teacher is simply the mother's agent. The mother is responsible to God for the religious training of her child. I hold, therefore, that the mother more than any other woman, ought to be in the Sunday school in order to know what is being taught her child. You may trust the secular education of your child to its teacher and never enter the schoolroom, and you may neevr be called to account should the child not live according to his teaching, but in the light of the fact that at the judgment day God will hold you responsible for the spiritual life of the child he gave you it is your duty to know which way your child is being led by the spiritual guide that has only been sent to help you and not to relleev you entirely of your sacred responsibility. And now to the woman who is not a mother. What relation does she sustain to that agency that has for its object the indoctrination of divine truths and the utilization of the power of all who can either learn something themselves or teach somebody else something? This woman ought to be a student or a teacher of the Bible for the reason that she is not a true, powerful and useful force to society, whatever her attainments, unless she is familiar with that book that strengthens the mind with noblest thoughts and stores the heart with purest love and sinks deep into the soul such principles of righteousness that no wave of temptation can move.—Ex.

HAS GREAT FAITH IN CHURCH Negro Journal Says the Race Lacks Confidence...The Negro Must Get Away From Petty Jealousy. Along all phases as to Negro interest, Negro ambition and Negro tenacity is found an awful lack of loyalty and sobriety. Negroes seem destined to stand aloof one from the other everp attempt to file his heroism coupled with absolute fidelity to himself and race he breaks rank. The best is never drawn out of him except with the white man behind him. The Negri has not yet been taught the lesson of self-control. He is one of the greatest imitators the world has ever known. The white man should love the Negro as no other race loves him; for it is a written and acknowledged fact that he is a white man's "boot lick" the country over, if the word "boot lick" means that the Negro never fails to take the advice of a white man. The greatest Negroes of this country have ben made great by white man. Take up the history of each, beginning with Crispus Attucks, Fred Douglas and Booker T. Washington to the present time, and every man of the race who rose to fame got there through the aid ofthe white man. Great men solve great problems and the Negro of brain and thought to day is paying homage to the white man of this country. It is only the vicious and immoral of both races that kindle the flame of discord, strife and confusion between the races. The fault-finders and trife-makers of neither race represent anything worthy of notice. The Negro has not yet learned that his race can be trusted. The white man says the Negro is inferior and nine out of every ten negroes believe it. This is demonstrated by the fact that there are not nine Negroes out of every ten willing to put up a bonus for any member of their race trusting him for the fulfillment of the same. Not so with the white man he stands by his race with his last dime and the last drop of blood is found in him and it always brings to him victory. The white man starts out with faith, courage and hope and he wins easily. The Negro starts out to help his race with the lack of confidence in himself and his race and thus loses courage and falls by the way os a failure. The only taching the Negro seems to have faith in besides the white man is the church. He will not trust his brother half as far as the white will trust him and yet he is forever rebuking his brother on account of his patronage. Yet if the same fellow was out of business he will patronize his race less than the fellow he cursed for his patronage. It is a wonderful thought of experience to us. We have witnessed so many cases of this kind. The race must get away from petty jealousy narrowness and bregrudgingfulness. It will bring any race to poverty and same to practice these. Let the best come out of the Negro race by uniting one with the other and doing some one great thing that will reflect credit upon the race and thus bring the respect of other races.—Charleston Messenger. Negro Has No Political Party Atlantic City.—Severe criticisms of the country in general and of the Republican and Democratic parties made here at the convention of the National Independent Political League. The organization consists of Negroes and has branches in 23 states, 20 of which were represented at the convention. In all there were 50 delegates. The most bitter denunciation was that of the Brownsville affair, which they lay at the door of Theodore Roosevelt. The Republicans, they say, have been absolutely unjust to the Negro. His only nope is in an independent political movement. In the address to the country which was issued by the convention there is called to attention "the fact that today no civilized country on earth can parallel the United States in the wholesale murder of innocent men, in the social persecution of the weak, in religious discrimination and proscription, and in the helplessness and inefficiency of the judiciary." Texas has outrun Kishineff; Jim Crow cars are indefensible and recent decisions of the supreme court are repugnant to the principles of justice and democracy, so the address says. The closing paragraph, which is the platform of the convention, follows: It is time, therefore, for an independent Negro movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men. We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. 2. National legislation against lynching and mob law. 3. The passage of a national anti- Jim Crow law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution so as to stop disfranchisement and peonage. The convention began on August 4 and ended today. Among the delegates were the Rev. Alexander Walters of the African Methodist Episcopal church, of New York, president; Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop H. M. Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal church, of Atlanta, Ga.; the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Baptist, of Washington, D. C.; Dr. J. L. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio; Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich., editor of the Informer; N. B. Marshall, counsel for the Brownsville soldiers; S. L. Corrothers, and Judge M. W. Gibbs of Little Rock. Govs. Harmon and Deneen were commended on lynching. Bishop Walters was elected president, Rev. Waldron organizer, Rev. Corrothers financial secretary, Judge Gibbs treasurer, W. C. Payne assistant organizer, J. L. Neill recording secretary, W. M. Trotter corresponding secretary, Rev. L. G. Jordan chaplain, Rev. F. F. Moreland, sergeant-at-arms, and Rev. B. Gunner, Dr. J. L. Johnson, W. T. Ferguson, Rev. J. H. Wiley, W. D. Johnson, W. S. Cook vice presidents. ARE NOT LAW BREAKERS While it may be true that the colored people of Wichita are not the best and more law-abiding people known—yet it is a fact to the great credit of the colored people of this community, that they have less criminal and civil law business in the courts of our city and county than have a like number in any other city or county in the middle west. While, of course, we have our little petty offenders, though few, yet a colored man as defendant in a felony in our higher courts is a very, very rare thing—so rare that it always becomes a sensation among them. It is this loyalty to law and order which holds such friendly relation among the races here.

SMITH U.S. DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF FISHERIES I T WAS nearly 40 years ago that the United States government first awoke to the necessity of conserving the aquatic resources of the country, and began those operations in behalf of fishes, fishermen and fish-eaters that have now attained such gigantic proportions. Several of the states had already established their local fish commissions or boards when in 1871 congress took the initial step toward a national fishery service by the passage of a joint resolution creating the office of commissioner of fish and fisheries. The early years of the bureau of fisheries were devoted to an investigation of the condition of the fisheries of the Atlantic coast, Great Lakes, and other sections; to studies of the interior and coastal waters and their inhabitants, and to exploration of the off-shore fishing banks. The cultivation of useful fishes was soon taken up throughout the country and quickly attained large proportions. The natural expansion of the work was materially augmented from time to time by acts of congress, and in a comparatively short time the operations came to have a very wide scope. From year to year, as the importance of the work has become increasingly evident, additional hatcheries have been built, the capacity of existing hatcheries has been enlarged, the scale of the operations has been extended, and new kinds of fishes have been added to the output. Today there is scarcely a phase of aquiculture, of the fishing industry, or of biological and physical science as connected with the THE FISHING MARKET waters, that does not come within the purview of the bureau. It is conceived to be the better policy to expend a small amount of public money in making fish so abundant that they can be caught without restriction and serve as cheap food for the people at large, rather than to expend a much larger sum in preventing people from catching the few fish that still remain after generations of improvidence. Public or government fish-culture in America exceeds in extent and importance that of all other countries combined. However, the neglect of some of the states to provide the minimum protection to certain species inhabiting interstate and international waters has not only negatived the fish-cultural work of the bureau and of the states themselves, but has practically inhibited it by preventing the possibility of securing an adequate supply of eggs, thus making desirable and necessary the placing of interstate and international waters under the jurisdiction of the general government. At the end of the first ten years of the bureau's existence, the fishes that were being regularly cultivated were shad, carp, chinook salmon, Atlantic salmon, land-locked salmon, rainbow trout, brook trout and whitefish, in addition to which the propagation of several others had been undertaken experimentally. The list now is six times as long and the annual output is ten times the aggregate for the ten-year period ending in 1881. The main energies are devoted to the important commercial fishes—shad, whitefish, lake trout, Pacific salmons, white perch, yellow perch, cod, flatfish and the lobster, which are hatched in lots of many millions annually. More widely popular, however, are the distributions of the fishes of the interior waters which are generally classed as game fishes. Although representing only about 10 per cent. of the output of the hatcheries, this feature of the work is very important, for it supplies choice kinds of fish for public rivers, lakes and ponds, and for fishing preserves and private ponds and streams in all parts of the United States. The fishes most in demand for these purposes are the land-locked salmon, the different species of trout, the grayling, the basses, the crapples, the sunfishes, and the catfishes, but various others also are handled. Fish-cultural stations are established by special act of congress, and their location and construction are determined after a careful survey of the available sites in a given state. The usual buildings are the hatchery proper, a residence for the superintendent and his family, and necessary outbuildings. At some stations there may also be power house, foreman's or fish-culturist's dwelling, mess hall and stable. The only permanent marine hatcheries are in Maine and Massachusetts, where the cod, pollock, flatfish, and lobsters are hatched in immense numbers. Other sea fishes that have in previous years been artificially propagated and may again come under the hand of the fish-culturist are the haddock, the scupaup, the sheepshead, the sea bass, the mackerel, and the squeteague, some of which were hatched on the steamer Fish Hawk, in Chesapeake bay and Florida. The fish-cultural work on the eastern coast --- streams was centered at six hatcheries and subhatcheries in 1909. At one of these the principal species handled is the Atlantic salmon, at four the shad, at three the yellow perch, at two the white perch, and at one the striped bass. In recent years the bureau has operated a shad hatchery on the Delaware river, and has detailed the steamer Fish Hawk for shad hatchling in Maine, New Jersey, North Carolina and Florida. The central station, in Washington, is operated largely for experimental and exhibition purposes. In order to counteract the effects of the very exhausting fisheries of the Great Lakes, the government has maintained hatcheries for many years, and now operates six belonging to the United States and two belonging to the state of Michigan. The fishes to which attention is given are those which enter most largely into the catch of the fishermen, namely, the whitefish, clisco, lake trout, and pike perch, the annual output of which now exceeds one and a CATCHING AND SORTING THE BROOD FISH half billions. Under arrangement with the Canadian authorities, two egg-collection stations for whitefish, cisco, and lake trout are maintained at points in Ontario. While surveying a new "bank" on the coast of Alaska, the government steamer Albatross in 20 minutes made the experimental catch of cod and halibut shown in one of our illustrations. As a result of explorations of the Albatross on the Pacific coast, fisheries of great importance have been established there. The hatcheries on the rivers and lakes of the Pacific coast are devoted almost exclusively to the various salmons. In California, where the bureau established a salmon hatchery as early as 1872, there is one central or main station, at Baird, on the McCloud river, with important collecting stations on two other tributaries of the Sacramento. In Oregon a central hatchery at Oregon City, on the Willamette river, has three subhatcheries on tributaries of the Columbia, in Oregon and Washington, and three subhatcheries on tributaries of the Rogue river, Oregon, in addition to several egg-collecting station. The interests of the large salmon fisheries of the Puget Sound region are safeguarded by a hatchery on Baker lake, on the Skagit river A significant feature of artificial propagation on the Pacific seaboard is that in the Columbia basin the hatching of the acclimatized shad has begun on a small scale, and in the Sacramento basin the cultivation of the acclimatized striped bass has commenced under conditions which indicate that more eggs of this species may be obtained in California than in any of the states to which the fish is native. The hatcheries in the interior regions constitute the most numerous class, and their output reaches the largest number of people. Their operations are addressed chiefly to the so-called "game" fishes, which, while caught mostly by anglers, nevertheless constitute an important element of the food supply. At these stations large numbers of fish are reared to the fingerling or yearling sizes before being released; for this purpose more or less extensive pond areas are required. The fish-cultural work of the federal government has now attained a magnitude that cannot readily be comprehended, and is increasing at an exceedingly rapid rate. Especially marked has been the increase in the hatchery product during the past ten years, owing in part to the extension of operations at existing stations, and in part to greater efficiency of methods and appliances. The work during the fiscal year 1909 reached larger proportions than ever before, over three billion fish being produced and planted. While the bureau does not lay undue stress on mere numbers and considers the vitality of the fish and the conditions under which they are planted as of paramount importance, the foregoing figures are certainly very suggestive and as a further statement of the magnitude of the fish-cultural work, it may be of interest --- THE WOODS ARE CUT AND SPLIT. THE GARDENING HOUSE INTERIOR OF A SHAD HATCHERY ter cod fishery of New England was revolutionized. In a single season shortly after the use of such nets began a few Cape Ann (Gloucester) fishermen took by this means over 8,000,000 pounds of large-sized fish, and as much as $50,000 has sometimes been saved annually in the single item of bait. By the dissemination of information regarding new fishing grounds important fisheries have been inaugurated. Thus when the abundance of hallibut off the coast of Iceland was made known by the bureau, a fishery was begun which yielded from $70,000 to $100,000 annually to the New England fishermen Owing to the appalling mortality among the crews of the New England fishing vessels, caused in large part by the foundering of vessels at sea, the bureau many years ago undertook the introduction into the offshore fisheries of a type of craft which would combine large carrying capacity and great sped with enhanced safety. By correspondence, discussion in the daily press, personal interviews, exhibition of models and finally by the actual construction of a full-sized schooner (the Grampus), with the requisite qualities, the bureau was enabled to inaugurate a momentous change in the architecture of fishing vessels; so that for a long time the New England schooners have been constructed on the new lines, with a consequent minimizing of disasters and a decided increase in efficiency. In other fisheries and regions the bureau has likewise advocated improved types of vessels and boats especially adapted to local conditions, and has published plans and specifications embodying the results of studies of the fishing flotilla of the world. The results of the bureau's efforts in this line in saving life and property, in increasing the usefulness of the vessels, and in improving the quality of the catch as landed, cannot be estimated, but the beneficial effects may be partly appreciated when it is stated that during the ten years ending in 1883, when the old types of vessels were in use, there were lost by foundering from the port of Gloucester alone, 82 vessels, valued at more than $400,000, with their crews of 895 men, while during the ten years ending in 1907, the losses from this cause aggregated only a fourth as many vessels and men. to record that the aggregate output of the hatcheries from 1872 to 1909 was about 28 billion, of which over 13 billion represents the work of the past six years. In making his original plans for the systematic investigation of the waters of the United States and the biological and physical problems they present, Commissioner Baird insisted that to study only the food-fishes would be of little importance, and that useful conclusions must needs rest upon a broad foundation of investigations purely scientific in character. The life history of species of economic value should be understood from beginning to end, but no less requisite is it to know the histories of the animals and plants upon which they feed or upon which their fod is nourished; the history of their enemies and friends and the friends and foes of their enemies and friends, as well as the currents, temperatures, and other physical phenomena of the waters in relation to migration, reproduction and growth. In pursuance of this policy the bureau has secured the services of many prominent men of science, and much of the progress in the artificial propagation of fishes, in the investigation of fishery problems, and in the extension of knowledge of our aquatic resources has been due men eminent as zoologists who have been associated with the work temporarily. Their services have been the services of specialists for particular problems, and through them the bureau has not only been able to give to the public the practical results of applied science, but has contributed to pure science valuable knowledge of all forms of aquatic life. The importance to the fishing interests of the work of the bureau in connection with the economic fisheries is widely appreciated and freely acknowledged. The statistical inquiries of the bureau afford the only adequate basis for determining the condition and trend of the fisheries and the results of legislation, protection, and cultivation. Among the numerous special matters in which the bureau has benefited the fisheries the following may be mentioned: By bringing to the attention of American fishermen new methods and new apparatus, new fisheries have sometimes been established and new fields exploited.

At Request of Senator Gore Committee Announced No Evidence Against Either. Sulphur, Oklahoma. — The select committee of the house of representatives to investigate Indian land affairs and the so-called McMurray contracts, and which also has been investigating the Gore bribery charges has issued the following statement: "The committee has heard and carefully considered all of the testin submitted and is unanimous in the opinion that there is and was no warrant for any person to use the names of Vice-President James S. Sherman and Senator Charles Curtis in connection with any improper relation with any indian contract whatever." This is the opinion of the committee after hearing the witnesses who appeared following the testimony of Senator T. P. Gore. Senator Gore declared he had been approached by Jake L. Hamon and that Hamon, acting in the interest of J. F. McMurray, had offered him (Senator Gore) $25,000 or $50,000 as a bribe to promote in congress the contracts by which McMurray was to receive 10 per cent attorney's fee on the sale of $10,000,000 worth of Indian lands. The senator testified Hamon mentioned Senator Curtis and Vice-President Sherman as being "interested" in the deal, Mr. Sherman being named as the man "higher up" Hamon, on the stand, denied he had ever said anything about the contract to Gore. In giving its decision the committee announced it had received from Senator Gore a statement relative to Vice-President Sherman and Senator Curtis and that the committee "commended" Senator Gore's statement. The committee's report was signed by Representative Charles H. Burke, South Dakota; C. B. Miller, Minnesota; E. W. Saunders, Virginia; J. H. Stephens, Texas, and Phillip H. Campbell, Kansas. SHALLENBERGER TO CONTEST Unofficial Returns Show Dahlman Nearly 200 Votes Ahead in Nebraska Primaries. Omaha, Neb.-On the face of the returns from the Democratic statewide primaries, which are nearly complete in unofficial form, Mayor Dahlman has won the gubernational nomination by less than .00 majority over Gov. Shallenberger. The announcement was made that should the official returns corroborate these figures Gov. Shallenberger will contest the nomination in the courts. He charges fraud in the vote in Omaha, which gave Dahlman nearly 6,000 majority. MURDOCK WOULD BE SPEAKER A Friend oof the Kansas Insurgent Says He Would Like to Get "Uncle Joe's" Job. Topeka, Kansas.—Sheffield Ingalls an insurgent and close friend of Victor Murdock denied that the "red headed inconoctlac" is figuring upon succeeding Senator Charles Curtis two years hence. Murdock has even higher views according to Ingalls who says he is looking toward the speakership and hopes to take the place of "Uncle Joe" if the fight on him proves as successful as the insurgents say it will.

New York, N. Y.—A bombshell was thrown into the camps of the Republican leaders of the "Old Guard" when a letter was made public by Lloyd C. Griscom sent to him by President Taft in connection with the recent defeat of Col. Roosevelt for temporary chairman of the Republican state convention and in which President Taft repudiated the methods of Vice-President James S. Sherman in securing the nomination over Mr. Roosevelt in the committee meeting of last week. No statement could be secured from any of the interested parties. Not only was Vice-President Sherman severely scored in the letter, but others who had to do with bringing about the coup at the committee meeting were also censured. President adds that he protested against the use of Root's name and "peremptorily declined to be drawn into the fight against Mr. Roosevelt. He adds that he had no knowledge whatever that Sherman was a candidate until he read of the result of the meeting of the committee in the newspaper. President Taft further declares the all statements that he desired the defeat of Col. Roosevelt or favored the election of Vice-President Sherman are "absolutely untrue." PURE SEED FOR OKLAHOMA Wheat Raisers Lost $3,000,000 by Planting Inferior Variety Last Year. Guthrie, Okla.—The state board of agriculture is to join with the agricultural commissioner of one of the trunk line railroad companies in Oklahoma in an effort to induce Oklahoma farmers to sow only pure seed wheat to the end that no shipments of mixed wheat will be sent to outside markets. A "Better Wheat Train" will be sent to the wheat growing counties, with lecturers and exhibits of wheat and flour to make plan to the farmer how he may increase his profits in raising wheat. It is estimated that Oklahoma produced 24 million bushels of wheat this year, but that lack of purity in the seed will reduce the value of this crop will be $3,000,000.

Sibley, ex-congressman, who withdrew as a candidate for congress on the Republican ticket in the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania district, was arrested late at night on a warrant charging "conspiracy to debauch voters." The arrest came a few hours after Mr. Sibley had announced his withdrawal from the congressional race. According to his own figures, filed in obedience to the legislative act requiring a public account, Mr. Sibley spent $17,000 in Warren county to gain his nomination and in the entire district, $42,500, which, according to population, averaged $4 a vote.

After the luncheon the parade will take place, ending at the park, where Mr. Roosevelt will deliver the dedicatory address. In the evening he will be banqueted at the Masonic Temple by the Kansas Editorial Association. STRIKE CAUSES COAL SHORTAGE Unless the Miners Return to Work Soon the Situaticon Will Become Critical in Chicago. Chicago, Illinois—Unless the miners' strike is settled soon Chicago and the West will face an early coal famine. "The shortage in production is already tremendous and the mines of Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma have been idle for five months," said H. N. Taylor. "Chicago is dependent entirely upon Indiana mines and a few in southern Illinois. There already is a shortage in production of about 10- .000 tons in illinois alone, with an equal shortage in the other states." PRESIDENT IN HIS OWN DEFENSE In a Letter for the Campaign Book and in St. Paul Speech He will Explain.

TAFT PLANS TARIFF REVISION When Tariff Boards Find Sections Needing Changes He Will Recom- mend Action by Congress. Beverly, Mass. — President Taft advocates revision of the tariff by separate schedule in the letter that he has written for the Republican con- gressional campaign book. Tariff occupies a prominent part in the letter and in discussing this burning issue, the president dwells at length upon the work of the tariff board which has been investigating the cost of living at home and abroad and otherwise exploring the uncharted sections. Summing up what he hopes from this board the president tells Chairman McKinley, of the congressional campaign committee that whenever his tariff investigators report to him facts which in his judgment warrant a revision of any particular schedule he will recommend such revision in message to congress which will embody the facts brought to his attention. In taking his stand for revision of the tariff a schedule at a time, the president is going more than half way to meet the progressives who have charged that the scheme of revision followed at the special session of congress makes a fair and impartial revision of the tariff impossible and paves the way for deals and dickees under which the interests of "big business" are fostered and protected. FOREST FIRES BURN CITIES Wallace, Idaho, nearly destroyed and Newport, Wash., Suffers—All Soldiers Pressed into Service. Spokane, Washington.—One hundred firefighters are reported dead in the flooded canyon near Wallace, Idaho, and five citizens were burned in their homes as the result of forest fires which for 60 days have terrified the Couer D'Alene country and which have spread to the town of Wallace, the metropolis of the mining district. More than a third of Wallace is burned. The Pacific, Michigan and Couer D'Alene hotels, the O. R. & N. depots, a big hardware warehouse and 150 to 200 residences were destroyed. The town is almost dark by day and the heavens of the surrounding country is a seething mass by night. Newport, Wasn., a town of 2,000 is burning, but the loss of life is as yet unknown, cries for help being answered as rapidly as relief parties can be made up. All available soldiers in this part of the country are pressed into service. IT IS PRESIDENT ESTRADA NOW He is Head of the Government of Nicaragua and Madriz Has Fled With His Family.

Pleasant Variation on Usual Loaf or Biscuits on Breadmaking Days—Crisp, Brown Morsels Go Well With Tea. On breadmaking days a pleasant variation on the usual loaf or biscuits is "pulled bread." This is a great delicacy in England, used for luncheon or tea. Crisp, delicately browned and toothsome, it is just the thing to serve with a bit of cheese and a cup of tea. To make "pulled bread" take a loaf of freshly baked bread from the oven and, while it is still warm and rather underdone, pull the inside out of it in irregular pieces about the size of an egg. Put these in a good oven and bake a delicate brown. Tempting breakfast rolls, light and white as snow, are made according to this southern recipe: One cup of sour milk, two-thirds of a cup of cream, one teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon of salt, flour to make dough stiff enough to drop from spoon. Bake in moderate oven. Huckleberry tea cake is, as its name implies, a dainty concoction for the supper table. The recipe for it follows: One-half cup sugar, one tablespoon butter, one beaten egg, one-half cup milk, one cup berries, one cup flour with $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons baking powder. Rather a companion dish to the huckleberry tea cake is the blueberry shortcake. This is made as follows: Two-thirds cup sugar, one-fourth cup butter, one egg, one milk cup, two cups flour sifted with two teaspoons baking powder, a little salt and $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups blueberries. Bake in a hot oven. To be eaten hot with butter. I have made this with preserved blueberries by draining off the juice and using less sugar, as the berries were sweet. These, it appears, are "our salad days." Let us not be "green in judgment" as regards salad dressing. A good dressing will make a poor salad presentable, but a poor dressing will ruin the best salad ever invented. Here are two tried recipes for dressing. The first, for mayonnaise, is as follows: Yolks of two eggs, one-half teaspoonful salt and dash of cayenne; beat until it thickens, then add oil, a few drops at a time, still beating. Thin down with the juice of a lemon and add the whites beaten to a froth. The second runs like this: Scald one cup of vinegar, butter the size of a walnut, add two tablespoons of sugar, one tablespoon of flour; one tablespoon of salt, one tablespoon of dry mustard, stirred together with one egg. Cook until thickened. When cool whip one cup of cream and add. This can be kept several days if cream is not added until ready to serve. Gooseberry jelly is an unusual, but very appetizing delicacy. To five pounds green fruit add one pint of water and boil until the skins crack open. Drain the juice in a cheese-cloth bag made double. Measure and return juice to the kettle and boil 20 minutes rapidly, or half an hour if not rapid boiling. Measure sugar, a pint for a pint of juice, and have the sugar thoroughly heated, add to juice and boll five or ten minutes. For Iced Tea. Iced tea has become the national summer drink, despite the doctors. Hence some of the interesting novelties for the service make acceptable wedding gifts. Iced teaspoons with long handles are rarely given, yet they are almost essential in tall glasses. Some of them have hollowed tubes for handles, used as straws. They are scarcely as sanitary nor are they as handsome as handles that can be marked with a monogram. There are long-handled spoons to stand in an iced tea pitcher that are useful. Those with repousse handles are especially new. Iced teaspoons to match make a handsome gift. Tall thin glasses especially for Iced tea are always acceptable. Good-looking ones can be had very reasonably, though those in cut glass and rock crystal are expensive. Coasters are almost essential with iceed tea glasses, as the moisture generated is bad for a bare table. The silver rimmed ones can be used for all kinds of glasses, but there are special glass plates or saucers made for iceed tea. As a smaller gift, a silver rimmed glass plate with small silver fork for lemon or a silver rimmed glass strainer and cup for lemon juice are necessary accessories to a complete ice-tea service. Rolled Jelly Cake. Beat the yolks of three eggs light, add a teacup of confectioner's sugar or very fine powdered sugar, two tablespoonfuls of water, a pinch of salt and a little vanilla if desired. Next stir in gradually a teacup of flour in which has been sifted a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder. Add the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth and bake in a greased pan in a moderate oven. Turn out on a damp towel or a bread-board, cover with jelly and roll up while warm. Cook together for eight minutes one cupful of sugar, half a pound of desiccated coconut, the heaten white of one egg and a few drops of almond extract. Take from the fire, and when cool make into very small balls; dust thickly with powdered sugar and they are ready Tasty Dish That Makes Capital Change Now and Then—Heat-Giving and Blood-Purifying. This recipe is exceedingly "tastyr" and makes a capital change now and again, for it is heat-giving, blood-purifying and flesh forming. About six or eight potatoes, two small onions, one tablespoonful of white pepper, half a cupful of milk, half a cupful of water, three heaping tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Put the butter into the bottom of a saucepan. Pare the potatoes very thinly; chop the onions and parsley. Mix the salt and pepper together on a saucer and have it beside you. Now cut the potatoes into slices (not shavings remember), and put a layer in the saucepan. Sprinkle in a little seasoning, then onion and parsley and begin again with the potatoes. When all are used up pour in the half cupful of water. Put the lid on close and let it cook very gently for 20 minutes. If cooked fast the potatoes break up and the dish is spoiled. The potatoes should rather be steamed than anything else. Now pour in the milk and allow it to cook for another quarter of an hour. Then lift the potatoes carefully on to a flat dish, strew over them the grated cheese and brown in front of the fire, or in the oven. TO MAKE MACARONI BEIGNETS Tasty Concoction for Hot Summer Days Which It Would Pay Any Housewife to Try. Boll half a pound of macaroni broken into small pieces till quite tender, in slightly boiling salted water, then drain and allow to cool, mix it with one tablespoonful of grated cheese and one tablespoonful of thick white sauce. Heat up, stir well and add two yolks of eggs, then spread on a plate to cool. When quite cold make into cork shapes, dip into frying batter and fry in smoking hot fat till a golden color. When well drained dish up and sprinkle with grated cheese. One tablespoonful of chopped cooked ham or meat added to the mixture makes these beignets more tasty. For the frying batter take one well beaten egg, half a cupful of milk, a pinch of salt, one tablespoonful of olive oil and one cupful of sifted flour. Mix well together till smooth and glossy. Allow to stand in a cool place for one hour, then put in the beignets one at a time. Mint Sandwiches Sandwiches of diminutive proportions which have become popular are filled with fresh mint. They are passed with the salad course, or at a buffet reception of any kind, with tea or coffee. Here is the quickest method of preparing them: Wash and dry the separate sprigs of the herb and put them through the meat chopper, using a fine knife. Add a little whipped cream and spread between thin, small oblongs of wheaten bread. Or chop the mint as above and afterward stir it into a small roll of cream cheese. The delicately tinted paste so formed is spread on slices of bread or crackers, which are afterward pressed together. To Be Done Daily Before Breakfast. Front porch to be swept; to be scrubbed every Wednesday and Saturday except in freezing weather. Porch chairs to be kept free from dust. Dining room, living room and reception hall to be dusted; sweeper run over rugs each day, if necessary. To Be Done After Breakfast—After dishes are finished, kitchen to be thoroughly swept and everything put in its proper place. Bedroom work to be done, rooms dusted and kept in perfect order. Bathtub, washstands, etc., to be scoured daily. Taploca Pudding: Soak a cup of pearl taploca in enough cold water to cover it for two hours. Add a quart of lukewarm milk and soak for two hours more or until the taploca is soft. Cream two tablespoonfuls of melted butter with two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, add this to the soaked taploca, beat in the well-whipped yolks of five eggs and mold in the stiffened whites. Beat hard and turn into a buttered pudding dish. Eat while warm with cream and sugar or with a pudding sauce. Cider Pudding. One cup of cider, one cup of butter, one cup of molasses, two teaspoons of saleratus, citron and fruit to taste, $2\frac{1}{2}$ cups flour. Steam three hours. Sauce—Three-quarters cup of butter beaten to a cream with two cups powdered sugar. Stir in one tablespoon constrasture wet in half cup cold water. Cook until thick, then add half cup of cider. Salem Cake. The white of five eggs beaten to a stiff froth, one-half cup butter, one cup sugar, cream the butter and sugar together: one and one-half cups flour, one-half cup of milk, one level teaspoon cream of tartar, one-half teaspoon of soda. Flavor with almond. Ham and Pickle sandwiches. Ham and pickle sandwiches are appetizing. Chop cold boiled ham quite fine, mix with a little melted butter and made mustard, add some finely chopped cucumber pickles and spread between thin slices of bread and butter. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

"Lifting as We Climb," is the motto of the National Association of Colored Women's Club, which organization met some weeks ago in Louisville, Ky. This motto so splendidly appropriate, is the battle-cry under which some choice spirits of Negro womanhood banded themselves together under the name of the present organization and went forth, some fourteen years ago, to do definite and systematic work in building up and bettering the home and social life of their people. And what has been done in these past fourteen years by earnest and noble women, through their national, state and city organizations—the two latter being in immediate touch with the people and their conditions—has, in a large measure, been appreciably helpful. The story of these women's efforts to raise their standard of the home and social life of the race is one that is fraught with interest and inspiration as well. Their reports of accom pushed work among those classes of the people who are in most need of systematic and sympathetic guidance would furnish material for a narrative that would be far more than a tale is told, all of sound and fury, and signifying nothing. In every age of the world's history and every race of mankind there have been women, because of their innate nobility, consecrated to the welfare of humanity. All along the pathway of human history looms up the helpful and decisive influence of woman's chaste character and its effect upon the modes, habits and life of her race. In all times she has not only stood by man to cheer and inspire him to do his part in the rougher and sterner duties of race building, but most earnestly, most faithfully has she contributed her share. In playing the part of Miriam and of Jephthah's daughter and the women, who with instruments of music went forth to sing of praises of the victories of David, woman has ever sung the praises of man and his achievements to the neglect or self effacement of her own victories. What is true of women of other times and races is true of these times and our own women. The should be no scant tribute paid to the many noble women of our people and what they are doing to adjust our radical life to the highest possible standard of excellence. May the splendid women, composing the National Association of Women's Clubs, ever do their duty as they have in the years past and no tribute will be too great to be paid to their memory when they have ceased to labor for people's uplift.—National Baptist Record. STEWARDS WILL RALLY. The Steward's board of the A. M. E.

A SUDDEN CHANGE. After one of the hottest and dryest seasons of several weeks ever witnessed and felt in these parts, the thermometer took a sudden drop downward from 103 in the shade Wednesday to about 38 above zero Thursday, with a brisk, chilly wind.

Early in the day—Thursday—pienics, lawn socials and other outdoor "summer" amusements were postponed—some to a certain time—others indefinitely.

Suits Pressed 50 Cents We Do Good JOB Printing Sylvia's Romantic Year By Gerald Prime On her twenty-fifth birthday Sylvia Brough stood face to face with grim necessity for the nst time in her life. She sat perfectly still and helpless in the big leather-covered armchair in old Judge Buchanan's private office—the spot in which the dismal revelation of her poverty had come to her—a crushed and bewildered little figure, dainty as a flower even in her distress. "Cheer up, Sylvia," consoled the gr�zzled old lawyer, her dead husband's friend, and her own, since earliest childhood. "You are young and the very best of life is still before you. All the unhappiness of this cruel day will be blotted out and the sting of your sudden affliction will grow duller with the passing of time. Believe me, dear friend, you will even be happy again." cently he was a post at the university. He put him at the head of a cern without a warnin vented this system a it is. General Maitlain ful man." Sylvia did not say wondered if the son father's manner. The nave divined her looked rather consolcd: "The general war terfiel in deportment most agreeable mann I have ever known." Still Sylvia did no speak. Left to make tion as he would, he "But our president father in many ways of integrity and he is "Should it happen as you predict," she said, with a pitiful attempt to accept his cheerful augury as something prophetic, "I shall recall how impossible it seems to me today." It was Sylvia's great problem, and her lack of preliminary training left her helpless to solve it. When she tried to take stock of her possible resources she could settle on nothing that was likely to prove available. She could play and sing in an amateurish way. She had rather a pretty knack at composition, but was a lamentable speller. She was unskilled in housewifery because she had never kept house and she was not an adept with the needle. Clearly, she had reason to doubt her capacity to become a successful bread-winner, and that is precisely the alternative to which she was reduced. There was not even time to hesitate, so urgent was the need. In her depression she searched the newspapers, and made lists of everything that suggested the barest hope, and of many things which did not. Then she tuned her courage to the highest note and set out on her novel errand. The first advertisement in her collection was for a private secretary for the head of a mammoth concern which collected news from all parts of the globe and sold it at bargain prices. Sylvia knew that there were such factotums as private secretaries, but of their qualifications and duties she was profoundly ignorant. That was the reason she made her way to the office of the advertiser and asked for an interview with the president. At first sight of him she came to the conclusion instantly that she had blundered. He was a young man of about her own years, a giant in stature, with a face and figure of remarkable perfection, but with an expression and manner that made her shrink from him before he had spoken a word. "Are you another applicant for the vacancy in my office?" he asked her in a tone civil enough, but suggesting Mount Olympus. Syivia was too uncertain of her voice to speak, but she nodded slightly and tried to recover her self-posses ston. "What is your name?" he continued, with a look in his great blue eyes that was so eloquent of superiority that she could answer him only in a tremulous half whisper. "Have you any well-defined reason to suppose that you could be satisfactory to me?" he demanded, loftily. At that she rallied, her indignation developing slowly, but very certainly. "I'm quite sure I shouldn't," she said firmly. She looked at him, and as their eyes met she fancied that his seemed less insistently azure; still they were the bluest she had ever seen and she did not like the color. "Would you mind telling me why you are so sure?" he asked, and for the life of her she couldn't tell whether his manner was the reflex of impertinence or the honest expression of a desire to be informed. "I'm afraid I'm not competent," she said, giving him the benefit of the doubt. "I have had no experience." He smiled frigidly. "It is possible that you underrate your ability," he said. "You are the first of all who have applied for the position to possess lack of confidence in your capacity. That, of itself, is noteworthy. I will give you a trial." Without giving her the opportunity to say yea or nay, the extraordinary young man touched a bell, and to the slight, dark young man who appeared instantly from an inner office he proceeded to give this amazing order: "This young woman will act as my private secretary until further notice. You will instruct her as to what is expected of her and arrange the salary. I am going out of town and shall not return until Monday." So saying, he turned on his heel without so much as a glance at her and left the room. Sylvia could only stare at the remaining young man with a look that besought enlightenment. He had seated himself at the table opposite her, and his clear-cut, refined face was aglow with amusement and polite interest. "First of all," he said, with a little laugh that dissolved some of the gloom that had fallen on her, "you are not to take our president too seriously. He is so new to the business that he isn't properly adjusted yet. Until very re- --- cently he was a post-graduate student at the university. His father's death put him at the head of this great concern without a warning. His father invented this system and made it what it is. General Maitland was a wonderful man." Sylvia did not say a word, but she wondered if the son had inherited his father's manner. The young man must have divined her thoughts, for he looked rather conscious as he proceeded: "The general was a second Chesterfield in deportment. He had the most agreeable manner of any person I have ever known." Still Sylvia did not trust herself to speak. Left to make the conversation as he would, he continued: "But our president is very like his father in many ways. He is the soul of integrity and he is very clever. In another year he will know the business from start to finish. Every one here realizes that he is capable of great things. He has already revolutionized everything." "But is that good—for the business?" asked Sylvia. "Precisely what it needed," he replied earnestly. "It was getting a little archaic, you know. Our competitors were beginning to make it warm for us. Our new head has already worried them. They are wondering what he will do next." She sighed feebly as his words recalled her own unsettled future. "Pardon me," he said. "I am tiring you with my talk about Stephen Maitland. I should be telling you what you will be expected to do as his private secretary. You will have to open his mail and read all his letters." "Never!" exclaimed Sylvia positively. "Not at all difficult," he laughed. "He doesn't receive many letters of a business nature, and as soon as you discover their tendency you are to turn them over to me. It is only his personal mail that you are to inspect." Sylvia shook her head despairingly. "There are very few of them," be hastened to assure her, "and they are almost exclusively invitations and begging letters. The former you will be expected to decline without consulting him. The latter you must return to their writers with a printed slip referring them to the United Charities association. "And now for the actual duties, please," said Sylvia with dignity. "That's about the list, so far as I have been able to find out. Of course, if I were to be incapacitated by sickness or any other cause I suppose you would be expected to do my work." "What would that be?" "I am a sort of combination of stenographer, business secretary and confidential adviser. But I should advise you not to cherish any vain hope of stepping into my shoes even temporarily. I'm never sick and am very careful to avoid hurt. Your salary will be $12 to begin. Shall I put you on the pay roll, Miss—Miss—" "Mrs. Sylvia Brough," she corrected with still greater dignity. "Ah, I see," he said, writing the name on a slip of paper. "I am pretty sure I shall not be satisfactory," she said, rising to go, "but I must try, for it is very necessary that I should have work." "To-morrow morning, then, anywhere between nine and eleven," he called out pleasantly as she was leaving. A year later Sylvia made another visit to Judge Buchanan's office. She still wore the doleful garb of a widow, but her face had lost its hopelessness. "How about my prediction?" the old lawyer asked almost immediately. For a reply she sat down and told him her story of the past year. When she had concluded he sat for a moment and gazed at her with a look, half quizzical, half paternal. "Each of these young men has asked you to marry him," he said, precisely as if he were summing up in an interesting case. "Being a woman, you will probably choose—" "I have promised to marry Stephen," she said. Not Up to Our Slang. Joseph Epstein, cousin of Louis Simon of the board of review, was born in Dublin, regardless of his name and lived in Ireland until about two months ago, when he came to Cleveland. Soon after he reached here he began to look around for a job. The manager of a furniture house promised to give him a trial. "Come around in the morning and go to work," he said, "and if you can deliver the goods we'll probably keep you permanently." The Dublin native went over to tell Cousin Simon about it, according to the story. He confided to him that he didn't believe he'd go back to take the job, after all. "They want me to deliver the goods," he said. "Think of going around delivering big, heavy furniture. That's what horses and wagons are for in any country."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. --- The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM Mr. William A.

The subject of cement construction for homes has attracted much attention among architects in the last few years, and on account of the popular demand for such houses is bound to remain in the front. There is no ques tion that the well-built cement house is both economical and sanitary. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Now, lest there be some prejudice in the mind of any reader, it may not be out of place to make a little reference to one of the aspects of the cement construction field that may remove that prejudice, or help to, at least. It is a fact that some poor work has been done, especially with concrete blocks. A campaign was made over the country a few years ago by the machinery men who had concrete block machinery to sell urging every man to buy a machine and go into the business of making blocks. Alluring inducements even were offered, and thousands of men bought machines who were no more fitted to make concrete blocks as they should be made, than they were to crochet fancy work. The making of good concrete, whether in the form of blocks or in walls, is no boy's job. It requires intelligence, just as any construction work does. Now, the concrete block should not be condemned for what the offenders against it have done. It is human nature to judge things by their worst aspects. And the men who made blocks that absorb water or crumble have done a great mischief to the block. There are throughout the country thousands of well built concrete block houses that will stand forever and are moisture proof. But one poor house will create THE HOME OF THE MAYOR an adverse impression that a dozen good houses cannot overcome. The writer knows of many fine cement houses that attest the value of cement in home construction. Cement is pliable and capable of being adapted to nearly any design the architect may select. Cement houses require no repairs whatever, and the older they get the more nearly like stone they become. Cement work placed in the Coliseum of Rome is as strong today as it was LAUNDRY 9'6" x 9'6" KITCHEN 10'-0" x 10'-0" TOILET PANTRY FURNACE ROOM COAL DIN First Floor Plan 2,000 years ago when it was put there. So in selecting the materials for the construction of a home or even of any other structure that it is desired should be lasting no better material than cement can be selected. Now, for cement construction the design of the home shown here is perfectly adapted. This house may be built of eight-inch concrete blocks for the walls and for the porch, and the round porch columns may be of molded cement. The design calls for an elaborate basement. Here the furnace room will be located and also the kitchen, toilet, a laundry and coal bin. On the main floor there is a good sized living room, a dining room and two bedrooms. The size --- of the house is 23 feet 6 inches wide and 37 feet long. If it is possible a site should be selected for the house where gravel will be available on the ground for the making of the blocks. This can be taken from the excavation for the basement. If that is done it will greatly reduce the cost. The blocks should all be made in advance and allowed plenty of time to cure. The secret of making a concrete block that will be impervious to water is to use a well graded gravel, that is, a gravel in which the stones DED ROOM 9'6" x 10'6" DINING RM 10'0" x 13'0" BATH 6'0" x 6'0" DED ROOM 9'0" x 11'0" LIVING RM 10'6" x 15'0" CLOS ENTRY PORCH 10'0" x 8'6" Second Floor Plan Second Floor Plan vary in size from sand to stones a half inch in diameter. The cement should be sound and plenty of it should be used, with a waterproofing of hydrated lime in the face. The mixing should be thorough and plenty of water should be used. If these directions are followed a block will result that will be waterproof. While the blocks are curing they should be sprin- kled three times a day for a week or ten days without fall. The design also is adapted for construction of frame either with the usual siding on the outside or with a cement stucco finish. If cement stucco is used either wooden lath can be placed over furring strips with tar paper underneath or metal lath can be used. "Dental Divination." In Paris the theory that man's soul and also woman's, is revealed by the length, shape, inclination and spacing of the teeth has been put forward by certain dentist-physicians, and society is greedily grasping at the novelty. The new method of "dental divination" is declared to be much more certain than palmistry, mind reading, phrenology or such old-fashioned diversions as fortune telling by cards and teacups. One newspaper announces that invitations are already out for a "dentomacy scence." Here are some of the "secrets" which the new "science" professes to lay bare: Long, narrow teeth indicate vanity; teeth small, separated and very white are a certain sign of inconstancy and fickle character; long, irregular teeth, projecting forward, are an index of avarice and egolism; small, uneven teeth indicate an uncertain disposition, with a tendency to nervousness; untruthfulness is shown by teeth which crowd and overlap. Mark Twain as "Attraction" A girl who was a stranger to Mark Twain once found her way into his Bermuda home with the hope of getting a sight of the author. She came suddenly in contact with him and frankly explained her errand. "Have you see the crystal cove yet," he asked, "or the aquarium?" "No, I came to see you first," she answered. "Well, you shouldn't have seen me first," he answered. "I run in opposition to the crystal and the aquarium. But they're not shucks to me. I'm lots better. I give them their money's worth. But you should see them. Then you'll appreciate me." This was said in his most earnest drawl and with only a sparkle or humor in his keen blue eyes. --- The KITCHEN CABINET HEN the flowers are parched by the wayside. And dust has its petals soiled.

And there on banks cushioned wisdom, That we only in woodlands learn." ART OF KEEPING QUIET. The blessed art of keeping quiet is one which our American women must learn if they would keep from nervous prostration and a hundred other ills. The first lesson to learn is to know when one has been talking too much or moving too much. Half the women we meet have no idea of physical repose. She shifts position, swings her foot, twirls her thumbs, turns her head and is not quiet a single moment. A high pitched voice is another indication of nervousness, it is often the sure sign of exhaustion. One of the worst symptoms of a nervous break down is the inability to let go. She holds on to the very thing that is undermining her health "like a dog to a root." The more she goes the more she has to go. She loses all sense of the fitness of things, and all ideas of the proportion of rest and action that must exist if one keeps sound and sane. The asylums are not holding all the insane men and women by any means. The great experts on keeping health emphasize the art of keeping quiet. The woman who gives up all society, all vital touch with the world makes even a greater mistake as she is lost both in the world and herself; but there is a happy medium. One must choose between the two, it is not necessary to be either a butterfly of a vegetables. No doctor can do so much for a nervous young woman as she can do for herself. The art of self control is learned in keeping quiet. A day spent in the woods where one can quietly sit for hours and be perfectly quiet will break up a good case of nerves. An hour a day in perfect quiet where one can think out one's own thoughts is a great help in maintaining mental poise. ALK not with thy guest of his own affairs for with those held; but discourse ever of thine own—of thy good luck and ill, of thy horses, thy servants, thy children, and thy alliments.

Use a little borax in the starch, either boiled or cold starch, keeps it from sticking when ironing. Iced coffee served with powdered sugar and whipped cream bids fair to outrival the ice tea. Clean linoleum with warm water and polish it with milk. Apply the white of an egg with a camel's hair brush to the fly specks on gilt frames and they will disappear. A cloth moistened with alcohol will clean piano keys. When spots in the bath tub refuse to yield to ordinary methods, try using powdered pumice stone. Save work by having the kitchen table covered with zinc. Flour sacks make fine dish towels. To remove the lettering rub well with soap, saturate with kerosene and boll until the paint can be easily rubbed out. Clean white paint by dipping the cloth in bran and using as if it were soap. A glazier's knife will be found to be an excellent thing to scrape the bottoms of pots and pans. HEERFUL looks make every dish a feast, and it is that which crowns a welcome." CARE OF BLANKETS. Those who know say that the hot days of summer are the best for washing blankets and bedding. The hot sunshine drys them quickly and perfectly. The secret of blanket washing is to keep the water through the washing and rinsing at the same temperature. Tepid water is best; dissolve the soap in a dish of water and add to the water in which the blankets are to be washed. Never rub soap on blankets. A washing machine is good to wash blankets as the water may be drawn off easily and fresh added as it becomes soiled. The rinse water should contain a very little soap as it leaves the blankets softer than the clear water. A second blanket may be washed in the rinse water of the first, saving the time and water. Hang the blankets in the bright sunshine, and when perfectly dry, be with a rattan-beater to raise the pleats. A day when a high wind is blowing is a good time to dry blankets. To wash elder by down coverlets make a soap lather by shaving a cake of good soap, add boiling water and let stand until dissolved. Add enough of the soap jelly to a tub of tepid water to make a good suds. Brush the quilt around the edges and put into the tub of water, press and squeeze between the hands, but do not wring or put through a wringer. Rinse in as many waters as necessary to remove the soap and squeeze as dry as possible, dry in a breezy place in the shade. Shake frequently while drying and when fully dry shake until the feathers inside the covering are soft and light. Feather pillow ticks are also better for a good washing in the summer. Rip the tick at one end and empty the feathers into a clean bag. Turn the tick wrong side out and wash and rinse well. If the feathers need washing tasten the mouth of the bag securely and immerse in a soapy water prepared for the blankets or quilt triang to dry in the bag and heat up light before putting them back into the case. Feathers should never be put in the hot sun to dry as the oil in the feathers is drawn out by the heat.

SANDWICHES. Sandwiches should be prepared with an idea of appearance and nourishment, as often they are the main food at a picnic. Bread for sandwiches should be fine, close-grained bread at least one day old. Warm the butter, not melt it, and spread the bread, matching the slices as they were cut from the loaf. To pack sandwiches many wrap them in a damp cloth others wrap each sandwich separately in waxed paper. In preparing a sandwich filling the important point to remember is that it shall be soft, fine and spreadable. A cucumber or two packed in the lef is used to cool the lemonade, or may be used as a salad filling with a fit the onion juice to season it. A bottle of lemon sirup to use for lemonade is always a welcome addition to the picnic basket. Simple cakes and salads may be added, pickles and olives, salted nuts and fruits will make a basket well supplied with good things. Iced coffee is liked by many for a drink, or iced cocoa is always popular. Use wooden or paper plates, for they may be thrown away and are much lighter to carry. A thermos bottle is a fine acquisition to a picnic basket if one wants either a hot or a cold drink. Hot Weather Hints for the Baby. Keep it cool. Watch its food. Let it live out doors. Keep it out of the hot sun. Give it plenty of pure, cool water to drink. Bathe it often. Sponging a child often in cool water will refresh it and keep it from freezing. Let it wear as few garments as possible. Keep the child well powdered to prevent chafing. To prevent prickly heat, bathe the child in as hot water as can be borne. A little boracle add, a teaspoonful to a pint of water, will allay itching from mosquitoes. Let the baby sleep out of doors. See that it is in a shady place with a good draft of air. The less attention and handling it receives the better. Lettuce With Sherry's Dressing. Lettuce With Sherry's Dressing. This is one of the most appetizing of salads and one that never has failed to win a welcome where it has once been served. Mix one-half a cupful of olive oil, five tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one half teaspoonful of powdered sugar, one half a Small Bermuda onion finely chopped, two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley, one half a tablespoonful of chopped red pepper, one tablespoonful of chopped green pepper, one teaspoonful of salt. Let stand one hour, then shake in a mason jar for five minutes before serving. If placed on the ice this dressing will keep several days. Angel Parfait. Boll together one cupful of sugar and one-third of a cupful of boiling water until it hairs from the spoon. Pour over the well beaten whites of two eggs, flavor with vanilla and beat until cold, then cut and fold in a pint of whipped cream. Pack in pound baking powder cans. Serve in slices with fresh raspberries.

Philadelphia, Pa—The body of Cap tain James Lorenz of the bark John Ena, whose death occurred while the vessel was just off Cape Horn, was re- moved from the cabin of the bark on arrival here and shipped to San Fran- cisco, the late master’s home. Accompanying the casket was the young widow of the captain, who for 42 days and nights sat and watched by the side of the rough pine box in which the body was incased by the ship’s carpenter, while the crew grumbled and threatened mutiny if the body was not cast overboard, accord- ing to the custom of superstition. Mate Oleson of the vessel, armed fy BOG i SUING E a (A SY Ee a ia} = | CA /PN with a revolver and a belaying pin, was compelled to use force a number of times to check the mutinous spirit of the crew, which was made up of Japanese, Porto Ricans, Sandwich Islanders and a few white men. The members of the crew declare that they knew something was going to happen when a black cat, belonging {o Mrs, Lorenz, was discovered on board shortly after the beginning of the cruise from Honolulu to this city, and the sailors demanded that the animal be cast overboard. It was Mrs. Lorenz’ pet and the captain and Oleson refused to comply with the de- mand. When just off Cape Horn, Captain Jim, as he was called, was seized with an attack of Bright's disease. For two days his wife put up a heroic fight for his life, but without avail. For several days the captain's death was kept a secret from the crew, but when they learned of it they demand- ed that the body be east overboard. Oleson, the mate, refused to comply with the demand, and watched over the young wife and her dead, day and night until the vessel was towed to her anchorage here. It was Mrs. Lorenz’ first trip with her husband, though they had been married a few years. GETS MEDAL AS BRAVE MAN Young Englishman Plunges Into the Gas-Laden Hold of Ship and Rescues Three. Yonkers, N. Y.—Thomas A. Broad- bent, a slender young Englishman who came to work as,a machinist in a fac tory here six months ago, has just re ceived a king's medal from the British government in recognition of his hay- ing performed “the most heroic act of the year 1999 in all the English marl- time service.” Broadbent was on the ship Fantee, which left Liverpool for the west coast of Africa. Off Cape Palmas, Liberia, the ship ran upon a reef and it became necessary for all hands to get to work shifting the cargo. The cargo in- eluded come Jars of an acid, which when mixed with water generated a deadly gas. Ina lower hold, where six men were working, the ship's carpen- ter, the captain and the first mate, in- haled the gas and dropped dead. ‘Three seamen who were just outside the death zone fell unconscious. When this was discovered there were calls for volunteers to bring back the living. Broadbent’ volunteered and, with a rope about his middle, was lowered in- to the chamber of death. ‘One at a time, he brought the three sailors to the fresh air and then, bare- ly conscious, he was lowered again at his own request to bring up the cap- tain’s body. ‘This time he collapsed and was de- lirious for five weeks. The ship itself subsequently was succored by another British vessel and Broadbent came to this country. Lady Cops in Spokane.

The three women have di- vided the work into three shifts of sight hours each, so that one fs on duty all the time. NATURE'S SIGNALS. The first indication of kidney dis- order is often backache.

KEEP BABY’S SKIN CLEAR Few parents realize how many es- timable lives have been embitiered and social and business success pre- vented by serious. skin affections which so often result from the neglect of minor eruptions in infancy and childhood. With but a little care and the use of the proper emollients, baby's skin and hair may be preserved, puri- fied and beautified, minor eruptions prevented from becoming chronic and torturing, disfiguring rashes, itchings, irritations and chafings dispelled. To this end, nothing is so pure, so sweet, so speedily effective as the con- stant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted, when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen states and territories have provided special places for the treatment of their tuberculous prisoners. ‘These in- stitutions can accommodate, however, only 800 patients. In three-fourths of the major prisons and in practically all the jails of the country the tuber- eulous prisoner is allowed freely to infect his fellow prisoners, very few restrictions being placed upon his habits. When the congregate mode of prison life is considered, the danger of infection becomes greater than in the general population. New York and Massachusetts are the only states where any systematic attempt has been made to transfer all tuberculous prisoners to one central institution. ‘The largest prison tuberculosis hosp!- tal is in Manila, where accommoda- tions for 200 prisoners are provided. ‘The next largest is Clinton prison hos- pital in New York, which provides for 150.

Many sensitively modest women write fully to Dr. Pierce what they would shrink from telling to their local physician, The local physician is pretty sure to say that ho cannot do anything without ‘‘an examination.”’ Dr, Pierce holds that these distasteful examinations are generally need- ess, and that no women, except in rare cases, should submit to them, Dr. Pierce’s treatment will cure you right in the Privacy of your own home. His ‘Favorite Prescription” hes cured hundreds of thousands, some of them the worst of cases. It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of a regularly graduated physician. The only one good enough that its makers dare fo print its ingredient on its outside wrapper. There's no seorecy. It will bear examina tion, No alcohol and no habit-forming drugs are found in it.

He had a ter- rible squint, and a mouth like a steam roller. All the same, he reckoned on making something of a hit at the fancy dress ball, and his costume was as elegant as his figure was un- lovely. ‘With fast beating heart he stepped Jauntily from his automobile outside the town hall, where the ball was be- ing held. The hall porter stepped back- ward at the unsightly apparition. “Great Christopher Columbus!” he gasped, as he regarded Gussie. “No, no, my good man!” chirped Gussie, as he tripped through the por- tals. “Chawles the First, my dear fel- low—Chawles the First!”—London An- swers.

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.

Of Western University OUINDARO, KS Residence Phone No. 15 FOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION. Citizens Resented Being Voted for as Town's "Meanest Man." 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. Conspluous 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 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." Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Duisburg, 'n Westphalia. 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.

Let everybody subscribe and pay for The Searchlight. Sensation in "Mystery Shlp." Sydney, Australia, has had a novelty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsigual and unannounced. It was popped 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 Ellijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," retorted the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstition," urged the dame. "No, ma'am," wounded up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." Rats 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. Rulned financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping painism 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 them selves, so that they would fortbwish 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 ter rifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. 4IGH 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 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 an tenuity. 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, aumerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of decor richness of color and fineness of texture are fabric of to-day suppressed. Fools. What do you suppose fools 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 Peculiar African Race. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, 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 Kaffirs live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafue river. They build their huts on the great ante heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafue is in food 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 meailes are likewise grown. Getting Ahead of One's Self. Getting Ahead or One's Coming "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."
