SEPTEMBER 10, 1910. Glover Goes East Past Grand Master Thos. Glover And Kansas and Missou ri Delegates Go To Meet The B. M. C. in Balti more, Md Hon. Thos. Glover, Past Grand Master District Grand Lodge No. 17, G. U. O. O. F. left Monday night enroute to Baltimore, Md., where he goes as one of the Kansas delegates to attend the bi-ennial meeting of the B. M. C. which will meet in that city September 12 to 17. From Wichita he went to Topeka where he was joined by other Kansas delegates and they journeyed to Kansas City, Mo., and was there joined by Grand Master Edward S. Lewis, of Missouri. They left Kansas City over the Wabash for St. Louis and there met Geo. E. Temple, the St. Louis and other delegates and over the Baltimore & Ohio railway from St. Louis these jolly good fellows will make the trip to Baltimore. This meeting of the B. M. C. is of more than ordinary importance, and it is especially so to the Odd Fellows of the West and Middle West. An effort will be made to secure the election of Geo. E. Temple of St. Louis, as Grand Secretary and also to induce the B. M. C. to hold its next session in Kansas City, Mo. A session of the B. M. C. in the West would be of untold benefit to the cause of Odd Fellowship in the West and would do more to raise the interest in the order of Odd Fellows than any other one thing which could now be mentioned. The Kansas delegation, backed up by the Missouri delegation, will also present the name of PastGrGand Master Thos. Glover, of Wichita, as one of the Grand Directors. Mr. Glover deserves this honor and the West is entitled to this recognition; and if the Odd Fellows of the East could really know what amount of lasting good to the order in this section the election of Geo. E. Temple as Grand Secretary, bringing the next B. M. C. meeting to Kansas City and the election of Thos. Glover as one of the Directors would be, we are satisfied that they would readily concede each. However each of these propositions have the full sanction of the lodges and members of the West and all will listen eagerly for the results. On their return trip the delegates plan to stop at several points. The A. M. E. S. S. is preparing to entertain with a reception and in-door picnic for the members of the S. S. The Southwestern District Association which was held with the First Baptist church at Great Bend, August 23-28, was a success spiritually and financially. The churches of Wichita were well represented. Quite a number of the delegates returned August 29 and speak in high praise of the work accomplished. One special feature of the Association was the creation of a commission consisting of seven persons to execute special mission work among our people in the extreme southwestern portion of Kansas. Quite a handsome sum was pledged for this purpose. A liberal sum was appropriated for the Old Folks Home at Lawrence, Kansas. The commission is composed of men who, by the help of God, will bring about good results. Rev. J. H. Raimey (pastor of First Baptist church, Great Bend) and his good people, have erected a splendid brick church edifice since the last Association and the building is virtually out of debt. The people of Great Bend made it pleasant for the delegates and the delegates received high compliments for their good work and exemplary deportment. The preaching was of high class. In the midst of these discussions came the annual address of the president, Booker T. Washington. Taking for his text, "To him that hath, it shall be given." Dr. Washington told his hearers that the black people of this country had increased from practically nothing to $600,000,000, and that the Negroes of America were adding from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 to their possessions every year. Then shifting to the laws he said: "I plead everywhere for a just enforcement of the laws. "I speak with sorrow and with a sense of shame and humiliation when I call attention to the fact that within a period of thirty days during the present summer no less than twenty-six colored men were wantonly murdered by mobs—shot down or hanged as if they had been wild beasts. In one case, that near Palestine, Texas, the sheriff of the county, a Southern white man, says: "Men were going out killing Negroes as fast as they could find them, and so far as I could learn without any just cause. These Negroes had done no wrong that I could discover.' What a blot upon our Christian civilization does such lawlessness indicate. What a blush of shame does such barbarous acts bring to every American citizen. Let this truth never be forgotten, that whatsoever a man or nation sows, that it shall also reap." A WORD ABOUT OUR TENTS. Parents Should Become More Deeply Interested in the Tents and the Great Benefits Offered to The Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Kansas-Nebraska, by creating an endowment for children, opened a new avenue to help parents of the children of our race to care, protect, and rear their children. The cost, the plan, the scope and the purpose of the Tent Endowment presents an opportunity to the parents, or guardians of colored boys and girls, such as they will find no place else. Every parent is making a sad mistake in not enrolling the name of and keeping their child in some Tent. By not doing no one is the loser but the child and its parent. Since being created about three years ago the Tent Endowment has made a rapid stride and has come to the needed relief of more than one father and mother in the needed time. Parents should take an interest in their children and urge the little ones to attend regularly and promptly and should see to it that their dues are paid. Case after case might be cited where the thirty ($30) dollars received from the Tent Endowment was the first money available to pay on the funeral of a deceased little one. How sad! Yet the Tent Endowment turned sadness and gloom into almost happiness. Your child may be the very picture of health, hope and good cheer today—but who can say what tomorrow will bring? The safe, the sound and wise thing to do is to put that boy or that girl of yours into a Tent and keep them there. For a very small, trifling sum each month you can give your child a protection that is worth while. The thing that surprises us most is that there are any parents of colored children who would in the least hesitate. Your neglect and procrastination is injurious to no one but you and your child. Put your child in a Tent and keep them there. The Tent, all its good advantages, privileges, rights, scope and purpose is for your child. Why not see that they get it? We hope that this year every Knight and Daughter will put forth renewed energy on behalf of the children's department—the Tent. Build up the Tents already organized and get up new ones where there is none. And thus we will be helping to care, protect and rear our children and our neighbor's children, too.

From southeastern Alaska to the end of the Aleutian islands is as far as from Savannah, Ga., to Los Angeles, Cal. Its northernmost and southern- most points are as widely separated as Canada and Mexico. Its range of temperature {s greater than that be tween Florida and Maine. More than one-third of this {m- mense territory is yet but little ex- plored, despite the many years that it has been in the possessidn of the United States, and despite the active efforts of prospectors. of traders and CORP WOOD CUTTING (NY WHITE BIRCH FOREST NESE FHIRPBANAS of representatives of various branches of the national government. The permanent popu- lation at the present time fs estimated at some 40,000 whites and 25,000 natives; about half of the latter are Eskimo in the region adjacent to Bering sea and the Arctic ocean. The most important product is gold, of which the output in 1908 was valued at more than $19,000,000. Fisheries rank second, and the salmon packed in 1908 had a value in excess of $10,000,000. Most of the internal improvements of ‘Alaska have becn made by the war depart- ment. Tho telegraph system 1s constructed ‘and operated by the signal corps, with offices at all important points. ‘Transmission depends not only upon cable and land lines, but on high-power wireless stations as well. Roads are built chiefly by the corps of engineers of the war department. Railroads, except for short lines running out to a few mining camps, are utterly lacking, and the total railway mile- ‘age does not exceed 350. Transportation in summer {s by steamboats on the larger streams and by poling boats on the smaller ones; in winter, by stages where the roads are good enough, and more generally by dog teams. Alaska has 4,000 miles of navigable rivers; without them most of the present de- yelopment would have been impossible. ‘Alaska does not have even a territorial form of government, though during the past fow years it has had a delegate in congress. Called « territory by courtesy, its anomalous standing for years was that of a customs dis- trict. It has executive and judicial officers appointed by the president and the senate, Dut no legislature; all legislation 1s by con- gress. ‘Tho United States geological survey recog- nizes four main divisions of the surface of Alaska, These are: (1) ‘The Pacific mountain system, which, in southeastern Alaska, 1s a continuation of the ‘mountains of British Columbla, extends north- west to the Mount McKinley range, and then swings sharply to the southwest, with @ pro- Tongation far inte the Pacific ocean, repre- sented by tho Aleutian islands. " (2) The central plateau region, which in- cludes most of the Yukon and Kuskokwim ba- sins, (3) The Rocky Mountain system, which ‘ounds the central plateau region on the north and northeast. (4) The Arctic slope to the northward of the Rocky mountain system. ‘The Pacific mountain region ts character- fzed on the coast by innumerable fords and 4nlets, by deep inland passages and mountains which rise thousands of feet almost straight up from tide water. In the interior it culmi- nates in Mount McKinley, the highest point ‘on the North American continent, There is very little level land in this region, especially fn the southeastern part. The mountains aro (great masses of rock and the upper parts of them are covered with perpetital show and ice. ‘On the coast many glaciers reach tide water, ‘put in the interlor they are confined to higher altitudes. ‘The central plateau region is not so much ‘a plateau as it fs rolling bill and low moun- tain country with wide stream valleys. Its ‘area is nearly as great as that of the other ¢hree combined. The raising of this region above an earlier level has resulted in stream- cutting, which obscures its original plateau character. It {s in the extensive valleys and on the adjacent slopes of the Yukon, Tanana and Kuskokwim rivers and their tributaries that the interior forests reach thelr best devel- opment. ‘The Rocky mountain region 1s » compara- tively narrow elongation of the Rocky moun- tain_system of North America, and stretches across northern Alaska nearly from east to west. The mountains of this region reach a considerable though in no case a noteworthy height. On their southern slope head many streams which empty into the Yukon; those on the northern slope empty into the Arctic ‘ocean. The Arctic slope region, lying north of the Rocky mountain region, s composed of roll- ing tundras, in which truly Arctic conditions prevail. It has been less explored than any other portion of Alaska. In many places in the interlor the post- glacial silts and sands form an excellent soil, and upon them whatever future agriculture there may be in Alaska will chiefly be devel- oped. ‘The climate of the southern and southeast- ern coast region of Alaska {s mild and wet. ‘The annual precipitation at Juneau and Sitka fs from 80 to 90 inches. At these points the precipitation 1s chiefly in the form of rain, and only during a short time in the middle of the summer are there likely to be days when rain does not fall, In the mountains immediately above tide water, however, the snowfall 1s very great. This increases to the northward, and at Valdez a winter's snowfall of nearly sixty feet has been recorded. The lowest tem- perature on record at Sitka is 4 degrees F. below zero, and the highest 87 degrees. At Juneau the lowest record is 10 degrees below zero, and the highest 88 degrees. The Sitka temperature is but little cooler than that of the northern part of Puget sound or of Scot- land. Sharply contrasted with the climate of southeastern and southern Alaska is that of the central plateau regions of the Interlor. ‘The Pacific mountain system cuts off the warm, moisture-laden ocean winds so that the interior has a semiarid continental climate subject to sudden changes and great extremes. Satisfactory records are lacking, but such as are available indicate an annual precipitation in the Yukon valley of about fifteen inches, including melted snow. As low as 80 degrees F, below zero has been-registered in winter, and in the summer as high as 93 degrees. The summers are short and comparatively hot; the winters long and intensely cold. Despite the low temperatures and long win- ters of the Yukon valley, there is ordinerily a» good growing season of at least three months. During much of this time daylight {s almost continual, and growth is rapid. This compensates in a marked degree for the short- ness of the season; and since the evaporation is not great the vegetation fs by no means of ‘an arid character, notwithstanding the small precipitation. The frozen subsoil is practically impervious to water, which accumulates in poorly drained areas und causes the many swainps and “muskegs.” ‘The differentiations between forest types ie FI ~~ Sete are as sharp as those he- soon tween the topographic _valuz and climatic, and, of an ¢ course, depend upon them. cond! ‘The coast forests of south- hem! em Alaska are the north- deca} ernmost extension of the of th coast type of Washington si and British Columbia. The tain interior forests are an ex- great tension of the interlor Ca- ingto nadian forests. The for- from ests of the Susitna and — mark Copper river basins are fact, somewhat intermediate in 1s in character, since these rly- good ers rise in the interior mills ST are eT are rae rreagics a ee mountain barrier to the southern coast. On ‘the coast of southeastern Alaska trees grow to large size; in the interior the timber 1s much smaller. The higher mountain areas are com- pletely above timber line. Climatic conditions in the region adjacent to Bering sea and on the Aretle slope make forest growth altogether impossible, so there are great stretches of tundra whose vegetation consists chiefly of moss, sedges and a few small shrubs. Moss may be said to be the garment of Alaska, and layers of it 12 to 18 inches thick are not at all uncommon either on the coast or in the interior. It is estimated that the total forest and woodland area of Alaska is approximately 100,- 000,000 acres, or about 27 per cent. of the land surface of the territory. Of these, about 20,000,000 acres may constantly bear timber of sufficlent size and density to be considered forest in the sense that much of it can be used for saw timber, while the balance, or 80,000,000 acres, is woodland which bears some saw timber, but on which the forest is of a smaller and more scattered character and valuable chiefly for fuel. There is not sufficient information upon which to base any satisfactory estimate of the total stand of timber in Alaska. It has been estimated, for Instance that the coast forests contain 75,000,000,000 feet of merchant- able saw timber, but this estimate, might be much exceeded were both the spruce and hem- lock closely utilized. More than twenty cords per acre have been cut in good stands of birch and aspen in the interior, but, on the other hand, there are large areas of black spruce that is too small to use for any purpose; so that it is still impossible to give a satisfactory estimate of the total stand, The coast forests of southeastern and south- ern Alaska are nearly all included in the Ton- gass and Chugach National forests, which com- prize 26,761,626 acres; and a large proportion of this area is forested. The species are chiefly western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), western red cedar (Thuja plicata), and yellow cedar (Chamaecy- paris nootkatensis). On the coast the timber line is low. On deer mountain at Ketchikan, for instance, spruce saw timber stops at about 1,500 feet, and the peak, with an elevation of 3,000 feet, bears only stunted black hemlock. In the coast region the stand {s generally dense, and as much as 25,000 feet per acre has been estimated for considerable tracts. Sitka spruce probably averages 20 per cent. of the stand, and western hemlock about 75 per cent. ‘The spruce reaches a large size, and occasion- ally attains diameters of more than six feet and heights of 150 feet. Diameters of three to four feet are attained by western red cedar. While by far the most abundant species, west- ern hemlock, does not produce as large indi- vidual trees as the spruce or the cedar. Practically the entire forest of the coast re- gion is overmature. It has been accumulating for ages uninjured by fire or cutting. Shallow, rocky soil, steep mountain slopes, or poor drainage often prevent thrifty growth, and on such sites “stagheadedness” and decay are common. In favorable situations the rate of growth of the coast trees is fairly rapid. ‘The following are typical: 'A western red cedar stump in good soll on po woo fee er ee : the south slope of a gorge above Ket ebikan showed 235 rings. The diame ter of this stump outside the bark was 8 Inches. A 40-inch Sitka spruce stump in the same locality had 230 rings. This tree had been 125 feet high. Near Wrangell three Sithw spruce logs averaged 32 inches in_di- ameter at the butt inside the bark, with 262 annual rings. Two examples of extreme age in Sitka spruce were noted in Portage bay between Peters- burg and Juneau. A section of a log 54: inches in diameter taken 25 foot above the ground had 600 rings; an- other-log 54 fnches in diameter 8 feet above the ground had 525 rings. Both were entirely sound.+ Logging in southeastern Alaska employs the crudest of methods. It is now carried on entirely by hand, though logging machinery was used in a few earlier operations. Only the best spruce trees at the edge of tide water are cut, The logs are frequent- ly made the entire length of the tree, and are jacked up and rolled into the water, where they are tied into rafts and towed to the sawmill by tugs. ‘The annual lumber cut in the coast forests of Alaska is about 27,000,000 board feet. This consists almost en- tirely of spruce, since hemlock is bit ttle used. There are about 25 saw- mills on the coast, at Cordova, Doug Jas, Juneau, Katalla, Ketchikan, -Pe- tersburg, Seward, Sitka, Valdez, Wran- gell, and other points, most of them rather crude in character and of small capacity. A large proportion of the output, probably more than one-third, is used for salmon cases, and much of the best lumber goes into them. The southern and southeastern coast of Alaska has a much greater timber supply than there 1s any rea- son to think will be needed locally for a long time to come. The perma nent industries of the region are fish- ing and mining. The mountainous character of the country will forever prevent agricultural operations of any magnitude. The total stumpage 1s large, much of it overmature, and the proportion of hemlock too great. The timber should be cut and utilized as Fe) A dara Amen iaa Se oT a ag ce abe valuable than the hemlock, should be given an opportunity to increase. Under present conditions, with the well-known ability of the hemlock to reproduce under shade and upon decaying logs and debris, it has the advantage of the spruce. Since the Alaska coast forests do not con- tain timber of either as high quality or as great variety as grows in Oregon and Wash- ington, there is little likelihood that lumber from them will compete largely in the general market with lumber from those states. In fact, some lumber used in southeastern Alaska 1s imported from the Pacific coast states, but good management on the part of the Alaska mills should enable them to supply the home demand for common kinds of lumber. While Alaska may eventually export considerable material of this sort, it must continue to {m- port timber Ike Douglas fir for heavy con- struction work. Utilization for other purposes than for lumber should be encouraged. The most promising of these is for pulp. Both the spruce and hemlock are undoubtedly good pulp woods, and, taken together, they comprise almost the entire forest. The cutting which has so far taken place on the coast of Alaska has had small effect upon the forest. The bulk of ft 1s yet un- touched. Clearly, utilization should be encour- aged as much as possible, With respect to the coast forests, there is little in the state- ment sometimes made, that the timber in Alaska should be held for the sole use of Alas- kans. It should be manufactured into the most suitable forms and sold wherever it best can be marketed. Natural barriers, so far unsurmounted, prevent it from being of benefit to the interior, where the need {s greatest and the price highest. Moreover, the coast forests are not capable of producing a great deal of the structural material that will be needed in the Interior when the latter region is more fully developed and made accessible by rail- roads. ‘The annual growth of the coast forests is far in excess of the local needs, and unless methods of utilization are developed which will result in the export of forest products these forests cannot be handled rightly. The forests of interior Alaska are prac- Ucally all included within the drainage basin of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers. They are chiefly of the woodland type, and are esti- mated to cover approximately 80,000,000 acres, but probably not more than 40,000,000 acres bear timber of sufficient size and density to make it especially valuable for either cord wood or saw logs, Several times as much timber fs used each year in the interior of Alaska for fuel as is used for lumber. The interior of Alaska de- pends entirely upon wood for heat, light and power. ‘ Obviously all the forests of Alaska, wheth- er on the coast or in the interior, should be protected and made of the utmost permanent use. The coast forests, which include most of the saw timber of the territory and by far the heaviest stands, are nearly all protected by national forests. They have not been dam- aged by fire and are but slightly reduced by cutting. They are overmature. Carefully planneit cutting should take place as soon as possible. Every effort should be made to have them utilized for lumber, and especially for pulp. They should be so managed as to! in- crease the stand of spruce and decrease that of hemlock. In the interlor forests, situated entirely upon public lands, unregulated cutting and devastating fires are going on. The coast forests were reserved before they were 1m. paired. Those of the interlor have already been seriously damaged. Their protection can- not begin too soon. While the products of the coast forests need a foreign market, the inte- rior forests With the best of treatment are not Ukely to supply more than a part of the home demand.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the impact of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 54 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. One of the most frequent demands made upon architects and builders is for a house of moderate cost, yet one that will satisfy persons of taste and refinement and come up to what they feel a home ought to be. With the advancing scale of prices both for building materials of all kinds and for the skilled labor required to fashion them into a permanent residence, the problem of satisfying this demand seems to become more and more difficult of solution. The writer has given a great deal of study to this matter, and has come to the conclusion that the way out lies not in going without, as so many families do—continuing indefinitely the old unsatisfactory renting life, neither to be to be found in running far into debt—also as many do—contracting obligations far beyond their safe ability, and mortgaging the future happiness and safety of the home. No. the problem is rather one for the architects to meet, unwilling as they usually are to help much along lines of economy. Architects, ordinarily, are paid a certain percentage, ranging from five to twelve per cent, on the total cost of labor and materials entering into the construction; so it is only natural if they seem a riffle uninterested and lukewarm about holding down the expense. Nevertheless it is a fact that the skilled architect, in designing a house—especially if he has given that branch of the work special study—can so plan that the expense will be within reach of modest means, yet the house be convenient and attractive, making a thoroughly desirable home. Simplicity of design, construction and arrangement is a present-day ten- THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM deny that helps along very materially to this end. The elaborate and costly ornamentation of former years, the big saw scroll work, the towers and spires, and the much cut-up floor plans find no favor with home builders today. Buildings now have to depend more on the symmetry and right proportion of their different parts for their attractiveness; and the convee- SEAT PORCH SINK DINING RM. 12'0"X11'0" KITCHEN 8'6"X11'0" PANTRY 3'6"X3'0" LIVING RM. 21'0"X12'6" SEAT SEAT SEAT VEST PORCH 15'6"X7'3" First Floor Plan. ailences of housekeeping and of home life in general are the factors that determine the arrangement of interiors rather than the desire for mere display. The architect's task is probably more difficult under this new order of things than formerly; at least more careful thought and study are required if a house of medium size is to have any distinctiveness or individuality of appearance. But with a skilled designer who will really work to that end a thoroughly desirable residence may be planned which will fully meet the requirements of the case, yet still be within the reach of the family of moderate means ```markdown ``` The accompanying design is a good example of what may be accomplished along the lines mentioned. This is a house of good size, 22 feet 6 inches by 33 feet 6 inches, having a very large living room, dining room, kitchen and pantry on the first floor and two large bedrooms, bathroom and three clothes closets on the second floor; the arrangement of the rooms as well as their size, lighting, etc., is according to the most approved ideas of today for convenience and sanitation; the exterior, although simple and plain, is exceedingly attractive; BED RM. 12'0"X11'0" BATH 8'6"X6'6" HALL CL. BED RM. 16'0"X12'6" CL. Second Floor Plan. the construction is thoroughgoing and substantial, using waterproof cement foundation, three-coat cement plaster walls and creosoted red cedar shingle roof. Yet the total cost for the materials and labor for this house is estimated at $2,000; with the very best of hard wood finish—oak flooring and plumbing and electric lighting and with a satisfactory basement heating THE HOME OF THE MAYOR plant, the_cost of this house should not be more than $3,000. A study of the features of this design, both as to the arrangement of the rooms, as shown in the floor plans, and the characteristics of the exterior, will prove interesting and helpful to anyone desiring an attractive, modern design house at reasonable cost. Oil Fuel for Bollers. It is stated in the daily press that the Cunard company contemplates building an Atlantic liner similar to the record breaking Mauretania and Lusitania, but equipped with oil burning boilers. It is also said that these two ships would themselves have utilized oil but for its high cost at the time the vessels were built. The opening up of new oil fields is said to have solved the problem of supply and cost, and it is now estimated that oil will effect a saving of $60,000 on each round trip. The situation is presented thus in the Engineer and Iron Trades Advertiser (Glasgow, Scotland): "Not only would the wages in the stoke holes be considerably reduced, for fewer firemen would be necessary, but the space utilized by the coal bunkers could be largely utilized for cargo, while there also would be more room for passengers. Indeed, a revolution in shipping is confidently predicted with the use of oil. Naval architects are at the moment working with a view to producing a type of 'tramp' steamer with low speed turbines driven by oil fuel, and the next few years will assuredly witness drastic changes on present day methods. When dock and harbor authorities fall into line and provide adequate facilities for the storage of oil, there will be nothing in the way of its widespread adoption.—Literary Digest. Proper Term. Tellit—Chinkley, the bank cashier, was arrested this morning for embez zlement. Harmon—Ah, another good man gone wrong. Tellit—No; another bad man just found out. The KITCHEN CABINET ELL read deeply learned and ELL read deeply learned and thoroughly grounded in the hidden knowledge of all kinds of salads and all potherbs whatsoever."-Beaumont & Fletcher The Making of Salads. Within the last few years salads have advanced in favor with us, until now they form an important part of many meals. Salads are especially popular during the summer months, when a little or no meat is eaten. For a good salad there must be three things considered—a good dressing, good materials and a judgment in combining Ingredients. In the beginning let us remember that the best green salads are those that have been well chilled before they are put into the salad bowl for mixing. The arrangement and garnishing of a salad is often all that distinguishes a tempting, appetizing and wholesome one from one decidedly the reverse. The vinegar used in salad dressings is an important item. Tarragon vinegar is not used as extensively as formerly, though it is still a favorite with many. Celery allowed to steep in vinegar for a few weeks gives it a flavor well liked. The addition of a few drops of maple syrup to malt vinegar gives a zest to a salad dressing, quite new, and the sweetness imparted is liked by many. At this season of the year there is a great variety of leafy salads. The different varieties of lettuce, water cress and the tender shoots of nasturtium are all good. Excellent salads can be made of almost any vegetable. Boiled fresh mushrooms make a delightful salad when mixed with a French salad dressing containing a little mustard. Fresh left-over meats and fish with seasonings make very appetizing salads. The common chicken salad, when we can afford to have it, seems like a new salad when the white meat is cut in thin slices and cold slaw is substituted instead of celery. Add a tablespoonful of Chili sauce to a mayonnaise and the result will be a chicken salad quite out of the ordinary. A great improvement can be made in many of our vegetable salads by the addition of a few pecans, walnuts or peeled filberts. A really pretty salad may be served in a pineapple shell, using the fruit for the salad. When brought upon the table it has the appearance of a perfectly intact pineapple. CHOSE my wife as she did her wedding garments, for qualities that will wear."-Goldsmith. Summer Soups. Necessity is teaching many people that they can live without flesh foods. If enough thought and judgment is used in the selection and combination of the almost endless variety of cereals, fruits, vegetables and nuts, so easily available for human food, they will find themselves in far better health physically, mentally and morally. For we are told that flesh eaters are apt to be savage in disposition. To aid the housewife in the attempt to serve nutritious soups without the expensive meats the following recipes will perhaps be suggestive: Egg Soup. Beat three eggs until light, then add half cupful of thick sweet cream and one cupful of milk; pour over this two quarts of boiling water. Set over the fire, and when boiling hot season to taste and pour over broken bread in the tureen and serve. Mixed Vegetable Soup. Take six potatoes, two small turnips, two carrots, a bunch of celery and a slice of toast. Chop the vegetables all together and simmer in six quarts of water about three hours. Rub through a sieve and season to taste. The toast is cooked with the soup and serves as a binding. Almond Soup. Blanch and pound a quarter of a pound of almonds, cook in a pint of fresh milk, put through a sieve, sweeten, add a little salt, reheat, add the juice of an orange and serve. Lemon Soup. Make a strong, hot lemonade, thicken slightly with cornstarch, cook until the starch is cooked; chill and serve with a piece of preserved ginger or a cherry in each glass. Orange, pineapple, grape and cherry soups are prepared in the same way. Buttermilk for Freckles. Country girls know the value of buttermilk to take off tan and those freckles not too deeply seated. It is not especially pleasant to take externally, but is certainly a splendid wash for the complexion. Put the buttermilk into a basin and wash the face in it as if it were water. Let the buttermilk dry on; tan and freckles not burned to deep will disappear like magic. Buttermilk is as good for the hands as for the face, making them sort and white. A hot bath is much more cooling after an hour or two than a tepid one in hot weather. Carry a few flax seeds when travelen and we one in the eye if a cluder in the eye is not easily removed. Molesten it well before putting into the eye, and its presence will not be felt. Bear in mind that a burn if treated quickly relieves the pain and lessens the danger from permanent scars. Any substance which will exclude the air, like olive oil, a paste made of soda and water scraped potato, or even molasses is efficacious. A few drops of German cologne in the water when washing the hair gives it a delicate odor that is quite lasting. Household Hints When dampening clothes for ironing use water as hot as can be borne by the hand or use a whisk broom kept for the purpose. The clothes can be ironed in a very short time after sprinkling. A point worth remembering in hot weather when it is not always wise to sprinkle them over night. To smooth irons sprigs of spruce, cedar or hemlock will be found equal to wax. Care should be used in rubbing the iron over the twigs not to touch any of the gum that might exude from the stems. Set colors by soaking several hours in alum water. A tablespoonful of turpentine is said to be good for the same purpose, adding the above amount to a gallon of cold water. Strong salt water is also good. Crinkle cloth needs no ironing, and so is an ideal cloth for children's dresses and for the mothers' shirt waists and morning dresses. Crepe is another cloth that needs no ironing and makes up into charming, graceful waist and gowns. ONE wit, like a knuckle of ham in a soup, gives a gest and flavor to the dish, but more than one serves only to spoil the potage." - Smollet. ONE wit, like a knuckle of ham in a soup, gives a zest and flavor to the dish, but more than one serves only to spoil the pottage." - Smol- Pastry Hints. Sift the flour holding the sieve high so that the flour is well aerated. When using baking powder in pastry it should be baked at once. The best pastry makers like to chill the pastry after making it as it is fakier and more delicate. To sprinkle a pile with cold water just before putting it into the oven adds to its tenderness. A fruit pie of apples is best baked nearly an hour, a hot oven at first then bake slowly to finish. Handle pastry in making as little as possible, using ice water to molest the mixture. A cupful and a half of flour and six tablespoonfuls of lard or three large tablespoonfuls each of lard and butter and half a teaspoonful of salt and water enough to make a paste to roll, is sufficient to make one pie with two crusts. Old-Fashioned Apple Sauce. Pare, core and quarter tart apples; put into a covered crock or baking dish; pour over a sirup made with a cupful of sugar and a half cupful of water. Cover and let stand until tender in a moderate oven. For the early apples the peeling adds to the flavor and it is best left on. Take a cupful of sugar and half a cupful of water when boiling hot, drop in quartered and cored apples. When tender the sauce may be put through a sieve which will remove any objectionable skin. Apples are good stewed with dates and raisins. Apples cored and baked with the centers filled with honey and a little butter or chopped nuts are an attractive dish. CONSUMPTION has killed its thousands; care its ten thousands.—Beecher. ONSUMPTION has killed its thousands; care its ten thousands.—Beecher. "Tis with our judgments as with our watches, none go just alike yet each believes his own."—Pope. The Possibilities of Egg yolks. So many young housekeepers fail to acquaint themselves with the knowledge of the good things that may be made with egg yolks. The yolks left from an angel food may be used in a salad dressing, a custard, coffee cake, or gold cake. An appetizing dish for breakfast may be made of egg yolk, a little milk, butter and seasonings. Cook carefully over a slow fire. The yolks if unbroken may be cooked in boiling water, then used with seasoning as a filling for sandwiches. There are several delicate cakes that may be made of egg yolks. Health Dont's. Don't eat when fatigued or over heated. Don't bathe the body for at least an hour after eating. Don't eat an excess of sugar, sweeta and starchy foods. Don't be gloomy at mealtime. Don't eat between meals or forget to take a drink of cold water on retiring and the first thing in the morning. On Courting Night Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press Above, in the shadows, the author was speaking softly to the other boarder. The other boarder was an artist, and the author and he seemed always to have a great deal to say to one another. They often came to the little Miller farm to spend care-free week ends, undisturbed by obtrusive critics and condescending art patrons, and tonight, as was their custom, they tipped their chair legs back against the shingles, their feet stretching out toward the plaza rail, their eyes searching the stars beyond Below, on the steps, sat the pretty daughter of Farmer Miller, gorgeous in the panoply of courting evenings, her soft hair, of mornings so alluring in the careless disarray of goldbrown strands, caressing slender neck and warm flushed cheeks, now knotted in a tight, awkward wad; and the soft house dress, which usually clung so prettily about her shapely little figure, displaced by a horror of stiff starched gingham. It was courting evening, and she sat primarily upon the steps complacently conscious of the importance of the occasion and of her own immaculate splendor. But the eyes of Elizabeth Miller were troubled, and a frown puckered the usual serenity of her sun-browned forehead. Was it after all, she pondered, so wonderful a thing to be loved and wooed by young Dave Stetson? Of course he was handsome and rich, in his own account, and richer still in anticipation of greater things, for some day he would be the sole owner of the old Stetson place, with its wealth of barns, and greenhouses, its expanse of sun-kissed hills and rich brown meadow land. It is true, however, that he might have had Nellie Wharton, the justice's daughter, or pretty Mary Howard, for the asking. Nellie had been away to school and Mary's father, part owner of the big Howard mills, was a man whose wealth and influence were in no way to be scorned. Yet, for all that, David had turned to her, despite the greater attractions of wealth and beauty. Tonight within ear shot of the softly modulate voice of the writer man and the answering echo of his friend's sympathetic understanding, the eyes of 'Lisbeth Miller were troubled and the frown, deep puckering, defied the calm tranquillity of the summer stars. She could hear, plainly, every word of the author, though he was sublimely unconscious of her presence, hidden as she was behind the plaza pillar. He was speaking strange, incomprehensible words, socialism, anarchy, democracy, and the tyranny of the powers. But it was not the words, or their import, it was the voice with its peculiar richness, its strange risings and fallings, its numerous subtle inflections that held and thrilled her inmost being. David might say: "I love you, I love you, I love you," a thousand times, but his passionate outpourings could not move her one-half as much as the utterances of this strange creature, cold and impersonal as he was. She thought: "He must see that I am pretty! Perhaps, in time—" Her cheeks flamed scarlet under their rich coat of tan. Well, she would wait. The writer and his less prepossessing friend would be returning, from time to time, during the long summer. So she would have ample time to think it over, and sufficient occasion to impress the writer with her unsurpassed week-day dexterity and her wondrous Sunday splendor. There was the cerise silk that Aunt Sabina had left her. She would wear that one day—and grandmother Miller's black jet necklace and earrings should be called upon in time of necessity. She knew that the women in the great city were beautiful, but she would show this man that she could cope with any fair damsel of the far metropolis. She patted her pink gingham thoughtfully and lifted her hand approvingly to the shapeless coiffure above. Then her chin rose in proud determination. Yes, she would tell Dave at once. She would go and meet him when the front gate clicked and inform him of the fact that there could be no more courting, no more strolling in forest pathways on summer afternoons, no more winter confidences over the open fire. The thing should be ended at once and for all time. And yet, in spite of the fact that her brain was dazzled with the thought of the tall, slender man, with his keen, well-chizzled features and farseeing, but frankly impersonal eyes, the vision of the broad-browed face, heavy but regularly molded, its dark eyes overshadowed by a shock of wavy hair, thrust itself persistently upon her. Yes, David was handsome and big and kindly, and he knew how to turn a pretty compliment. She recalled the night of the dance in Evans' barn. It was two years ago that he had "offered," and yet it seemed but yesterday, so pleasant had been the time of courting. There was a sudden throb of the fiddle in her ears, the scrape of many feet upon bare, swept boards, the sweet, pungent odor of new-packed hay, the lights of lamps swinging high from the rafters, and jack-o-lanterns grinning fantastic, from far corners. And then a mighty beating of heart as Dave having lured her beyond the great doors, spoke to her beneath the stars. "Your eyes are very big," he had said simply, "and there is light in them. I want them for my own." "Your eyes are very big and there is light in them!" Could the writerman do better? Yes, yes; a thousand times, yes! For if David, with no schooling at all, could say such things, what might this other then express, with his list unmeasurable of magic words, the more remarkable that they were but half understood? Surely, even after this review of old, surging memories, for all that the past had been so sweet, her decision was made and, irrevocably. For, arguing with woman's logic, if the past had been pleasant with a man like David, what would the future be, made glorious by a great wonder, a being of experience and travel, a writer and talker, a prodigy like the man above in the shadows? The big moon swung gloriously about the far meadow hillocks, a little breeze scattered late rose petals softly at her feet. The voice of the writer-man seemed a thing far-off, wondrous as the star light. Suddenly Lisbeth Miller sat keenly erect, her ears straining to catch the words of the men beyond. "She's beautiful," the artist was saying, "but the usual peasant type, boorish and unimaginative. But she would be a credit to Millet with her bosses and her loose blown hair, and even a greater artist might dispair of reproducing her wonderful color." "Right," the other answered. "But you must admit that the cleverest caricaturist could hardly do justice to her atrocities on dress-up occasions. She was unspeakably commonplace in that pink gingham tonight, and that monstrous arrangement of hair was unutterable. If only the commons would have sense enough to leave well enough alone." They drifted off then to town talk and friends of the city. The artist said: "I wonder if the incomparable Lucia could find amusement here?" And the other answered: "She always makes her own amusements, and what surrounds her is invariably beautiful. Ah," between long-drawn puffs of contentment, "there's a woman!" "Worthy even of you!" There was deep silence, save for the mad beating of a girl's heart in the shadows, then there was a firm step upon the gravl. The girl flew like a hurt thing down the crunching length of pathway and into the wide open arms of her lover in the darkness. "Dave," she sobbed against the sheltering strength of firm-set shoulders. "Dave, boy, how I love you!" FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT Mind and Character of the Child Ar Plastic and Parents Must Be Did you ever consider how plastic are the mind and character of your child, ready for the molding of circumstances, natural forces and the various impressions left upon it by the actions of grown people? The whole life of your boy or girl is before you. How important, then, is the fact that first impressions should be of the finest and the best that make for the nobility of man! One of the first ideas to be zealously guarded is your child's belief in your perfect honesty and trustworthiness. Remember, little ones cannot tell the difference between jest and earnest, and truth and untruth are marked by a sharp line. If, therefore, you make threats or promises that you do not keep, if you repeat childish happenings with exaggeration, if you evade, or worse yet, lie, you are impressing your child in a way that you may regret your life through. Be equally insistent to have the early impressions in your child's life those of beauty. Remember that these are the memories that linger through life. Do you want sordidness and ugliiness and unhappiness to cling in the background? of childhood? Keep a child happy; let it have all the pleasure and joy and color in its life that it is in your power to give. The nursery should be the pleasantest room in the house. Now where else have you the opportunity of influencing unconsciously the tastes of the young. In that nursery, if there are good books, works of art—not mere daubs—toys that instruct as well as amuse, collections that train a child's inclination for original research, those first impressions have a lasting influence on after life and the building up of character. Do not get into the habit of thinking a child's thoughts and notions do not count. They count for more than do your own; yours are amenable to reason or common sense, while his are not realized or understood until they have made a fixed impression for harm or good.

In the very midst of all the race discrimination, jim-crowism, ostracism practiced every day in our very eye and under our very nose by the white man against the Negro—it is a strange presentation to hear and see Negroes who themselves attempt to discriminate against the members of their own race. In view of the great odds against the Negro who attempts to conduct any legitimate business for the interest and accommodation of his race—it is, indeed, sadly strange to see members of the Negro race who seek by subterfuges, false statements, filmsy and outlandish reasons to find an excuse that they hope will excuse them from patronizing members of the race who are in business. Taking into consideration the fact that every day finds the "door of hope" being more tightly shut and the "avenue of opportunity" growing more narrow for the young Negro boy and girl—with these true facts—it is an awful thing—when you look at it right—to hear of the father or mother of Negro boys or girls who will aid, abet or encourage any Negro in not supporting race enterprise. What father or what mother of a Negro boy or girl can truly tell what will be the ```markdown ``` lot of his boy or girl in life? It is alright to you, maybe, to refuse to patronize some other Negro parents' boy or girl who is in business, but just turn the scale around to your boy or your girl, what then? Viewing all of the hard struggles incident to a Negro in business it is almost beyond belief that a Negro who is himself in business and seeking to eke out a scant living from the same people would let it be known that he had at any time failed to give his support to another Negro who is in business. That's all right to him now, but what if the wheel should turn? Some Negroes do these things for smartness, but the after effect is what counts. If it is alright for one Negro who is in business to refuse and fail to patronize another Negro in business it is equally fair and alright for the race to refuse and fail to patronize him or them. These are two-sided things, that fits one and then fits the other. Men must learn that a race horse cannot win all the races or stay always in the lead—there are others. These things we drop by the way as they may be of value in future considerations. It is an old saying and true "Every man will have his day." Some may be in the saddle-onw and seek to do things with an iron hand—but wait. Pay up! — Pay up!! — Pay up!!!

FLACK OF ABILENE STATE BANK DISAPPEARED. Before He Left He Turned Over All His Property and Directors Have Made Good $20,000 Shortage. Abilene. Kansas—John A. Flack, cashier of the Abilene State bank for five years, is missing and his accounts at the bank are short about $20,000, which the directors have made good. The bank opened as usual in the morning without any nervousness on the part of depositors, the directors being among the wealthiest men in town. William I. Watson, a deputy bank commissioner, spent Sunday and Monday making a thorough examination of the bank and his certificate was posted stating that all losses had been made good and that the bank was in sound condition. This quieted the tendencies to withdraw deposits and the bank gained instead of lost in the morning's business. Other banks of town are not affected. Flack left Sunday morning after turning over to the directors his handsome home on North Buckeye street, a farm and some personal property, all he was known to possess. He has been active for many years here and had the confidence of the community. He was probate judge four years before entering the banking business, was Democratic candidate for congress in the Fifth district four years ago and for state senator two years ago. He and his wife have been active in society. He was a member of many organizations and lodges. PANAMA CANAL FORTIFICATIONS Plans As Recommended by the Board Call for the Expenditure of $14,104,203.

On his approval they will go to Secretary Dickinson. The plans provide for an expenditure of $14,104,203 and are similar to those approved last spring by President Taft. The board recommends that the following sea coast armament be emplaced for the defense of the canal: Ten 14-inch rifles; twelve 6-inch rifles; twenty-eight 12-inch mortars. The apportionment of the appropriation includes provision for submarine mine defenses, barracks and quarters for coast artillery garrisons and cost for emplacement. CAMPBELL FORSAKES CANNON He Thinks the Speaker Should Not Be a Candidate Again—Endangers Party Success. Pittsburg, Kaa.—Congressman P. P. Campbell, one of the two stand-patters re-nominated in Kansas, is out with an interview repudiating Speaker Cannon, whose supporter he has been. Mr. Campbell was one of the men Cannon came to Kansas to help in the primary election. "Cannon will not succeed himself as speaker of the next congress," Campbell said. "My opinion is he is not and will not be a candidates for the place. His alleged ambition, however, to be speaker again is endangering in a large measure the election of a Republican congress.

Samuel Gompers President American Federation of Labor Headed the Procession. Kansas City, Mo.-The army of organized labor, with upwards of five thousand in line, marched through the streets of aknsas City in the annual Labor day parade, and a brave display they made. Lowering skies and a torrential downpour of rain just at the hour when the marchers were assembling in the vicinity of Labor Temple on Woodland avenue apparently did not dampen the ardor of the unionists and their enthusiastic friends, for all of the organizations were in line, and the streets along the line of march were packed with solid masses of humanity who did not seem to mind the weather. It was a memorable Labor day for Kansas City by reason of the presence of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers headed the procession in an open carriage, and the entire march was a continuous ovation for him. The features of the big parade which seemed to appeal most strongly to the spectators were the glass workers and sheet metal workers. The glass workers carrier improvised art glass umbrellas hoisted on slender canes. They made a handsome appearance and were preceded by an art glass banner. The sheet metal workers wore caps of tin, with copper bands, sailor style. They also carried copper canes and wore copper belts. RADIUM IN METALIC FORM By Using the Salts an Infinitesmally Small Amount of the Metal was Produced. Paris, France.—Mme. Curie, who with her husband discovered radium and who has been honored by the academy of Seine for her work in chemistry has now succeeded in collaboration with Prof. Dubiern in obtaining pure radium in metallic form. By using the one-hundredth of a grain of radium salts they procured an infinitesmally small amount of radium itself. This is in appearance a white metal. It rapidly oxidized when exposed to the air and became black. The metal thus obtained when placed on a piece of iron clung to it tenaciously and when brought in contact with paper set fire to it. It was also found that it decomposes water rapidly. The radium will be placed in a glass tube, wherein it will be closely studied for its radio-active properties. Longest Water Flight on Record. Cleveland, Ohio—Glenn H. Curtiss established a new world's record for aeroplane flying when he flew from Euclid beach, nine miles east of Cleveland, to Cedar Point, 60 miles in an air line, in one hour and 19 minutes. It is the longest over-water flight on record. All Have Surrendered In Nicaragua. All Have Surrendered in Nicaragua. Washington, D. C.

BIG MONEY MADE IN AVIATION Glenn Curtiss Is Said to Have Cleaned Up $175,000 During the Past Year—Expenses Small. Cleveland, Ohio. — Glenn Curtiss the aviator, who gained renown first by his long flight down the Hudson river for a prize of $10,000, gave an inking to friends in this city while here making his over-the-lake flights, of how profitable is the profession of aeroplaning at the present day. Curtiss in the last year has cleaned up $175,000 in prizes and through sales of his aeroplanes, just $100,000 more than was the salary of President Taft. Of this amount $100,000 was obtained, Curtiss said, for flights made in France and Italy: He made $5,000 while here, the trip itself costing him only $2.15 for gasoline. OREGON PLAN IN NEBRASKA A Majority of the Candidates for the Legislature Have Entered Into Pledges. Omaha, Nebraska.—The canvass of the vote of the recent primary elections on members of the two houses of the legislature shows that the Oregon plan will be almost certainly carried out in the election of a United States senator to succeed Senator Burkett, regardless of the political complexion of the next legislature. Of the Democrats, 24 of the 33 candidates for the senate and 75 of the 100 candidates for the house are signers of "Statement No. 1," while on the Republican side 13 senatorial candidates and 47 legislative aspirants have taken the same pledge.

Milton, attorney for Elmer Swope, the claimant to the Swope estate, M. Peck, a retired farmer now living at Baldwin, Kas., testified that he personally knew the late Thomas H. Swope of Kansas City and that upon one occasion Colonel Swope had told him of a marriage contracted at the beginning of the Civil war. Mr. Peck, who is 72 years old, claims that Colonel Swope spoke of his marriage to a woman in New Jersey, and of a subsequent separation because of a difference of opinion as to the secession of the Southern states. According to the testimony of Mr. Peck, Colonel Swope also told of having bought horses for the government at the beginning of the war. A STRIKE OF STEEL WORKERS All Construction Work in Kansas City Comes to a Standstill Because of the Walk-Out. Kansas City, Missouri—A strike of the structural steel workers of Kansas City was ordered at a special meeting of the Bridge and Structural Steel Union at the Labor Temple. The action followed a refusal of the Kansas City Structural Steel Company to agree to an immediate increase in wages of 50 cents a day. The steel workers have been receiving $4.50 a day for an eight-hour day. They are asking for $5-a day. As a result of the strike practically all steel construction work in Kansas City is at a standsill. When the whistles blew for the men to go to work at 8 o'clock in the morning not a man responded. The contractors abandoned all attempts to continue work. More than 150 expert steel workers are involved in the strike. WESTERN GOVERNORS GO HOME Men Who Went to St. Paul to Oppose National Conservation Have Given Up. St. Paul, Minn.-Believing there is nothing more they can do and believing they have been practically eliminated from the convention, the Westen governors announced their intention of leaving St. Paul at once. Gov. Brooks of Wyoming left last night as did also Gov. Vessey of South Dakota and Gov. Norris of Montana and Gov. Hay of Washington, and thereby goes the "Fighting Contingent" of the National conservation congress. Dissatisfaction over their failure to receive recognition at the hands of the congress as a whole was evidenced by the executives from the West. Each tried to put forth a cheerful front but it was an effort which was close to failure. Gov. Norris in particular was bitter in his denunciations. A FATAL REAR END COLLISION Rock Island Freight Crashes Into Union Pacific Stock Train at Kansas City Limits. Kansas City, Mo.—A Rock Island freight train crashed into the rear of a Union Pacific cattle train at the west limits of the city and smashed the caboose and two loaded cattle cars into kindling wood.

Verdict on Vandiver's Death Keytesville, Missouri. — I coroner's jury has returned a verdict that C. P. Vandiver, whose death occurred recently, was caused by "violence" at the hands of John C. Cunningham. INDEPENDENCE ON THE FARM SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW FARMING IN THE CANADIAN WEST. Americans In Canada Not Asked to Forget That They Were Born Americans. Farm produce today is remunerative, and this helps to make farm life agreeable. Those who are studying the economics of the day tell us that the strength of the nation lies in the cultivation of the soil. Farming is no longer a hand-to-mouth existence. It means independence, often affluence, but certainly independence. Calling at a farm house, near one of the numerous thriving towns of Alberta, in Western Canada, the writer was given a definition of "independence" that was accepted as quite original. The broad acres of the farmer's land had a crop—and a splendid one, too, by the way—ripening for the reapers' work. The evenness of the crop, covering field after field, attracted attention, as did also the neatness of the surroundings, the well-built substantial story-and-a-half log house, and the well-rounded sides of the cattle. His broken English—he was a French Canadian—was easily understandable and pleasant to listen to. He had come there from Montreal a year ago, had paid $20 an acre for the 320-acre farm, with the little improvement it had. He had never farmed before, yet his crop was excellent, giving evidence as to the quality of the soil, and the good judgment that had been used in farming as well as "braw." Asked how he liked it there, he straightened his broad shoulders, and with hand outstretched towards the waving fields of grain, this young French Canadian, model of symmetrical build, replied: "Be gosh, yes, we like him—the farmin'—well, don't we, Jeannette'" as he smilingly turned to the young wife standing near. She had accompanied him from Montreal to his farwest home, to assist him by her wifely help and companionship, in making a new home in this new land. "Yes, we come here wan year ago, and we never farm before. Near Montreal, me father, he keep de gris' mill, an' de cardin' mill, an' be gohl' he run de cheese factor' too. He work, an' me work, an' work tarn har', an' gohl' us work for de farmer; well 'den, sometin' go not always what you call RANG THE BELL. ALL RIGHT Estimates of Yield of Wheat in Western Canada for 1910 More Than One Hundred Million Rushels. de' right, an' de farmer he say de' mean ting, he gohsi' and tell us go to—well, anyway he tarn mad. Now," and then he waved his hand again towards the fields, "Iave 'no bodder, no cardin' mill, no gris' mill, no cheese factor'. I am now de farmer man an' when we want to, me can say to de oder fellow! you go—! Well, we like him—the farmin'. And that was a good definition of independence. Throughout a trip of several hundred miles in the agricultural district of Western Canada, the writer found the farmers in excellent spirits, an optimistic feeling being prevalent everywhere. It will be interesting to the thousands on the American side of the line to know that their relatives and friends are doing well there, that they have made their home in a country that stands up so splendidly under what has been trying conditions in most of the northwestern part of the farming districts of the continent. With the exception of some portions of Southern Alberta, and also a portion of Manitoba and Southern Saskatchewan the grain crops could be described as fair, good and excellent. The same drought that affected North and South Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and other of the northern central states extended over into a portion of Canada just mentioned. But in these portions the crops for the past four or five years were splendid and the yields good The great province of Saskatchewan has suffered less from drought in proportion to her area under cultivation than either of the other provinces. On the other hand, instead of the drought being confined very largely to the south of the main line of the C. P. R. it is to be found in patches right through the center of northern Saskatchewan also. In spite of this, however, Saskatchewan has a splendid crop. A careful checking of the averages of yield, with the acreages in the different districts, gives an average yield of 15½ bushels to the acre. In Southern Alberta one-fifth of the winter wheat will not be cut, or has been re-sown to feed. There are the dividual crops which will run as high as 45 bushels on acres of 500 and 1,000 acres, but there are others which will drop as low as 15. A safe average for winter wheat will be 19 bushels. The sample is exceptionally fine, excepting in a few cases where it has been wilted by extreme heat. The northern section of Alberta has been naturally anxious to impress the world with the fact that it has not suffered from drought, and this is quite true. Wheat crops run from 20 to 30 bushels to an acre, but in a report such as this it is really only possible to deal with the province as a whole and while the estimate may seem very low to the people of Alberta, it is fair to the province throughout. When the very light rainfall and other eccentricities of the past season are taken into account, it seems nothing short of a miracle that the Canadian West should have produced 100 million bushels of wheat, which is less than 18 million bushels short of the crop of 1909. It is for the West generally a paying crop and perhaps the best advertisement the country has ever had, as it shows that no matter how dry the year, with thorough tillage, good seed and proper methods of conserving the moisture, a crop can always be produced. As some evidence of the feeling of the farmers, are submitted letters written by farmers but a few days ago, and they offer the best proof that can be given. Maldstone, Sask., Aug. 4, 78. I came to Maldstone from Memon- nee, Wls., four years ago, with my parents and two brothers. We all became homesteads at that time and now have our patents. The soil is a rich black loam as good as I have ever seen. We have had good crops each year and in 1909 they were exceed- ly good. Wheat yielding from 20 to bushels per acre and oats from 40 to 80. We are well pleased with the country and do not care to return to our native state. I certainly believe that Saskatchewan is just the place for a hustler to get a start and make himself a home. Wages here for farm labor range from $35 to $45 per month. Lee Dow. Tofield, Alberta, July 10, 1910. I am a native of Texas, the largest and one of the very best states of the Union. I have beer here three years and have not one desire to return to the States to live. There is no place I know of that offers such splendid inducements for capital, brain and brawn. I would like to say to all who are not satisfied where you are, make a trip to Western Canada; if you do not like it you will feel well repaired for your trip. Take this from one who's on the ground. We enjoy spies did government, law, school, railway facilities, health, and last, but not least, an ideal climate, and this from a Texan. O. L. Pugha. James Normur of Porter, Wisconsin, after visiting Dauphin, Manitoba, says: "I have been in Wisconsin 15 years, coming out from Norway. Never have I seen better land and the crops in East Dauphin are better than I have ever seen, especially the oats. There is more straw and it has heavier heads than ours in Wisconsin. "This is just the kind of land we are looking for. We are all used to mixed farming and the land we have seen is finely adapted to that sort of work. Cattle, hogs, horses and grain will be my products, and for the livestock, prospects could not be better. I have never seen such cattle as are raised here on the wild prairie grasses and the vetch that stands three or four feet high in the groves and on the open prairie. Sir Wilfred Laurier Talks to Amanda Jeans Sir Wilfred Laurier, Premier of Canada, is now making a tour of Western Canada and in the course of his tour he has visited many of the districts in which Americans have visited. He expresses himself as highly pleased with them. At Craig, Katchewan, the American settler joined with the others in an address of welcome. In replying Sir Wilfred said in part: "I understand that many of you have come from the great Republic to the south of us—a land which is akin to us by blood and tradition. I hope that in coming from a free country you realize that you come also to another free country, and that all though you came from a republic you have come to what is a crowned democracy. The King, our sovereign has perhaps not so many powers as the President of the United States, but whether we are on the side of the line or the other, we are all brothers by blood, by kinship, by ties of relationship. In coming here as you have come and become naturalized citizens of this country no one desires you to forget the land of your ancestors. It would be a poor man who would not always have in his heart a fond affection for the land which he came from. The two greatest countries today are certainly the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the Republic of the United States. Let them be united to together and the peace of the world will be forever assured. "I hope that in coming here as you have, you have found liberty, justice and equality of rights. In this country, as in your own, you know nothing of separation of creed and race, for you are all Canadians here. And I may express a wish it is that you would become as good Canadians as you have been good Americans and that you may yet remain good American. We do not want you to forget what you have been; but we want you to look more to the future than to the past. Let me, before we part, tender you the sincere expression of my warmest gratitude for your reception." 44 44 FOR 30 YEARS They are absolutely the most popular and best shoes for the price in America.

Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich. CRIPPEN'S TRIAL OPENS IN LONDON PROSECUTOR ASSERTS THAT IT HAS EVIDENCE OF POISON. THE ACCUSED DOCTOR TALKS Also the Body Found in the Crippen Basement Shows That an Operation Had Been Performed. London, Eng.—At the opening today of the trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, who is charged with the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore, the prosecution announced that large quantities of poison had been found in the woman's body and that there were evidences that she had been subjected to an operation. In the course of his remarks the prosecutor definitely stated that the physicians who made the post mortem examination of the mutilated parts unearthed in the cellar of the Crippen home in Hildrop crescent, Camden road, had discovered the presence of large quantities of hyoscin, a colorless liquid poison, and also detected evidence that an operation had been performed. It had been known that the authorities had been working on the theory that Belle Elmore had been in the hands of one having at least a rude knowledge of surgery, and further, that she had been poisoned. The official announcement of these alleged discoveries, however, have not been made before. At the time of the arraignment of the two prisoners on August 29, Mr. Humphreys said that the government's evidence against the typist pointed only to her as being an accessory after the fact. Today he said that it had been decided to thus limit the charge against her. Leneve Woman Jealous. The prosecutor spoke of Mrs. Crippen as Belle, the name used by Crippen when referring to his wife. The two, the prosecutor continued, had occupied separate rooms for four years. For at least three years, he said, Miss Leneve had been Crippen's mistress. In January, Miss Leneve was feeling her position in regard to Crippen acutely, and particularly so at that time, when she expressed considerable jealousy of Mrs. Crippen. In a written statement made to Inspector Dew when the investigation first opened, Crippen said Belle was living in the protection of another man when he married her in Jersey City. The doctor also spoke of Bruce Miller's alleged acquaintance with his wife while he was in America, and frequent threats which Belle had made to quit him and go with another man who occupied a better position in life. Crippen's statement concluded with a story of a quarrel on the night of January 31, after Paul Martinetti, who had spent the evening with the Crippens, had left the house. During the quarrel the doctor said that his wife threatened to leave him on the following day. Says He Found Wife Gone. Returning from business on February 1, Crippen said that he found that his wife had gone. He took steps to prevent a scandal and fabricated the story of her going to California and her death there. Counsel added that if it were possible to get Bruce Miller here from Chicago, he would be invited to attend the court in order that the prisoner's statements might be put to test. Speaking of the post morten, the prosecutor said Dr. Witcox had found more than half a grain of hyoscin, one of the deadliest of poisons, and from the fact that such a quantity had been discovered after the parts had been burdied for months, the physician was able to say that several grains must have been administered. ABILENE CASHIER SHORT. John A. Flock Turns Over His Property to Make Good. Abilene, Kan.—Following investigation by the state banking commission into the accounts of John A. Flock, cashier of the Abilene State bank, Flock has turned over to the institution his property in this city, including his home. Deputy State Bank Examiner Watson said today there was a matter of some $20,000 in question. Flock has not been seen in Abilene since last Saturday. It is said he went to Texas or Mexico.

My trouble dates back to the time that women may expect nature to bring on them the Change of Life. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it made me feel much better, and have continued to wear it very grateful to you for the good health time that women may expect nature to bring on them the Change of Life. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it made me feel much better, and I have continued its use. I am very grateful to you for the good health I am now enjoying."—Mrs. SARAH LUONGNONT, 414 S. Livingston Street, Brookfield, Mo. The Change of Life is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and neglect of health at this time invites disease and pain. Women everywhere should remember that there is no other remedy known to medicine that will so successfully carry women through this trying period as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. For 50 years it has been curing women from the worst forms of female ills—inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, and nervous prostration. If you would like special advice about your case write a confidential letter to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free, and always helpful. Opportunity of Suffragist. Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one of the magazines how the women of Finland came to vote. The fact is that women had to show that they could meet an emergency before the vote came to them. They have not had many opportunities to take the initiative in the world's history and they have not always responded when the opportunity came, but when a crisis, such as that in 1904, when the strike and the revolutionary outbreak in Russia took place at the same time, occurred, they proved they could make peace by doing it. Not until England and the United States find the women helping them to bear some great trouble will they give them the right to vote. HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP DISEASE "When I was ten or twelve years old I had a scalp disease, something like scald head, though it wasn't that. I suffered for several months, and most of my hair came out. Finally they had a doctor to see me and he recommended the Cuticura Remedies. They cured me in a few weeks. I have used the Cuticura Remedies, also, for a breaking out on my hands and was benefited a great deal. I haven't had any more trouble with the scalp disease. Miss Jessie F. Buchanan, R. F. D. 3, Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 7, 1909." Kept with Barnum's Circus. P. T. Barnum, the famous circus man, once wrote: "I have had the Cuticura Remedies among the contents of my medicine chest with my shows for the last three seasons, and I can cheerfully certify that they were very effective in every case which called for their use."

FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG Swimming In Myriads Near Surface They Are Snared and Speared by Fillipinos. Friday morning Filipinos snaring eels and other fish in the Pasig near the old captain of the port building by the aid of fish snares caught the largest eel ever seen on the water front. It was fully ten feet in length. Both banks of the Pasig and all the ships and lighters moored in the stream were thronged with hundreds of Filipinos with snares and spears trying to catch the fish that in myriads were swimming near the surface of the stream. Natives when asked in regard to the phenomenon were almost unanimously in their statement to the effect that at this time of the year the bottom of the river gets hot and that the fish have to leave the depths of the stream and flash back and forth on or near the surface. Another theory that seemed to have a great many adherents was to the effect that at this time every year there was a change in the character of the water, this change acting on the fish as a stimulant. This theory was advanced by an old pilot who has witnessed the phenomenon for many years.—Manila Times. Talking to the Child. "Mrs. X—— talks to little Madge just as Mr. X—— talks to their dog," said a little girl of a neighboring family. And it was indeed true. Mrs. X—— is a very well-meaning woman and would be greatly surprised if she should hear the foregoing statement. She has simply unconsciously acquired a harsh tone of voice in dealing with her children. This is altogether unnecessary and is not, as many mothers seem to think, a mark of good discipline. The mother whose manner is quiet but firm is generally a much more successful disciplinarian than the harsh-voiced mother who issues her commands in a dictatorial manner. Kindness never spoils children. It is flabby indecision, sometimes mistaken for kindness, which spoils them. When the Fish Exploded. Somebody discovered that fish are fond of gasoline, and this led to the idea of soaking worms in gasoline in order to make them more alluring when used for bait. Mark the result. Two of those gasoline-tempted fish exploded in the frying-pan, and broke the kitchen window, and blew the cook's face full of mashed potato, and hurled the teakettle into the flour barrel, and painted the kitchen ceiling with stewed tomatoes.

AGENTS WANTED. The Qualt Belluga. Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very甘nty—and preserve only the spawns, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finne' book—Ladies' Pictorial. A Queen's Will. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid cut in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world."—Home Notes. Rats 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," reported the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious," urged the dame. "No, ma'am," wound up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." When one has just begun to acquire superfluous flesh complete abstinence from sweets and starchs, a moderate amount of food at all times, and daily exercise either indoors or out will effect a cure. The effort, however, must be persistent, and the watchfulness must continue even after the desired weight has been reached. Spasmodic efforts either at diet or exercise will be absolutely without lasting results When one's weight has crept far beyond the normal amount the restrain in diet must be more strenuous and the exercise more violent.—Harper's TOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION Citizens Resented Being Voted for as Town's "Meantest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tightwads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a cigar store there, was fine five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Consipuous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and staid 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 The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a coonsieur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Can't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitatingly. "It's nice, b it it's head's looses." Her Criticism. 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 $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 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 satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. Sensation In "Mystery Ship." Sydney, Australia, has had a new city in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsignaled and unannounced. It was people 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 uncertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. The Power of Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is one magnet of power. You must fire every event with it, touch thoughts and acts with it; it will transmute dross into gold, drudgery into delight. What matters if the soul which lives beside you is cold and selfish. Set him a good example! Joy is sunshine and he will feel it. Every irksome task is a chance for power. For the qualities which they bring out are God's gifts which fit us to enjoy better things. Easy things will come, if you have spent your heart's blood on gaining strength, for the very goal of power is the ease which comes from strength. We laugh at things and people who used to cow or annoy us, we gracefully and swiftly the tasks, one so hard. One by one, we have univeted our chains, we are free!—Nantua. Bend 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.—Lippihcott's Magazine. It is noticeable that the German papers have made no outcry over the fact that King Edward has personally written to Andrew Carnegie. There is a bank creek in Elyria, O. who never has any difficulty in striking a balance. His father was a slack-rope walker, and his mother was a trick bicycle rider. Were the Mrs. Gilman brand of sociology to come into vogue there would soon be no society for sociology to operate upon and the exuders of guilt would be among the unemployed. Miss Ross Becker has been appointed a claim agent and United States pension attorney at Missouri. She has been known for years as one of the most successful women in St. Louis, being a notary public and an insurance agent. Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "laid out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an ill-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdeeds of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons pf catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much female sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, ples, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge adivsed the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from far and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Sald an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary? She is simply candy crazy and, of course, eating nothing substantial makes her pale, if not downright yellow." Sald the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abbor the stuff! It is herote treatment, but it will cure her appetite for candy." Poor Mary! says the Indianapolis Star, how much pleasure she is going to lose for lack of a little self deplor JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING. Would-Be Suicide Not Completely Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry themselves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. -Here would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. IGH IN CIVILIZATION'S SCALE. Jnknown Peoples of America Who Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norlens Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unkaown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of decad richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day surpasses it. TO HESITATE LONG IS TO FAIL Successful Business Man Must Have Attribute of Courage. Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When do you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the quality of courage was so absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get a love mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others.—Success Magazine. Pecullar 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 fibr, 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 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 likelies grown.
