C. Knok of the Indianapolis (Ind) Freeman says: "The Negro voters for years have shown a devotion to the one party—Republican—which for faithfulness is really pathetic. As long as old conditions maintained, when all the good came through one party, as it was thought, to community, to country, to race, these voters were doing the proper thing, since it should be the purpose to bring about the best possible "But parties change, as men change, is the fashions change. The good thing of yesterday is a bad thing for today. Politics is as variable as the waters. "If clinging blindly to the past means present perfurbment, then it is the plain duty to swing out into the clear, get a better bearing on things. Pick and choose your change and then anchor alongside. "We hold that something of the thing hoped for will be gained if the Negro voters break camp, scatter as the necessity calls, into such parties and groups as answer their political views, such views being influenced by "Then is the political intelligence that must be exrted in order to avoid the grooves where men stagnate and decay.

"I believe in the Jefferson creed with all my heart, and think that all the aims of good government can be covered by that one sentence, 'equal and exact justice to all men.' "To the rich and the poor; to the farmer and merchant; to the banker and the miner; to the scholar and the ditcher. And I emphasize here what I have been so misrepresented and blamed for saying before, that this republic will never reach its true grandur as long as a dead line is drawn between one section and another, one color and another. "I yield to no man in my pride of race. I believe the Anglo-Saxon is stronger in the glorious strength of conception and achievement than any race of created man; but from my very pride of race springs my intense scorn of that phantasm manufactured by the political bosses and called 'Negro domination.' "Cocially, I want no mixing of races. It is best that both should preserve the race integrity by staying apart. But when it comes to matters of law and justice, I despise the Anglo-Saxon who is such an infernal coward as to deny legal rights to any man on account of his color, for fear of 'Negro domination.' "For a thousand years the whites, the Anglo-Saxons, have had all these advantages. Armed with the garnered wealth of ten centuries, equipped with all the mental advantages of school systems, hoary with ages, holding all the land, all the revenues of commerce, all the sources of political power, outnumbering the blacks eight to one, and continually gaining on them, what words can paint the cowardice of the Anglo-Saxon who would deny 'equal and exact justice in the ignorant, helpless, poverty-cursed Negro, in whose ears the clank of chains have scarcely ceased 'domination.'

The public schools of Wichita opened last Monday morning. ed last Monday morning. We wish to impress upon the mind of parents of colored children the paramount importance of sending all their children of schol age to some school every day. Parents who neglect sending their children to school spite no one but themselves and injure their child only. Send that boy or girl to school; if you do not some day you may regret it. With all the opportunities and advantages offered by the good kind-hearted people of Wichita, there is absolutely no excuse for any parent, black or white, in not sending their children to schol. We wish to say to the parents, further, to teach their children the gem or rudiness by seeing to it that your boy or your girl is the tidiest child in its room. Thsu by this lesson early taught it will be impressed on the mind of the child. We look for great wonders, much progress and excellent deportment to come to us from all the colored children in the Wichita schools and the editor of The Searchlight this year will make it a personal matter and hopes that he can from time to time report good deportment and excellent work from the colored children.

THE NEGRO IN IT You may talk about the Negro, You may name his faults infinite; But you cannot turn a wheel That a Negro isn't in it. You may block his civil rights, You may say you are "again" it; But before you turn around, Some sharp Negro will be in it. You may build your Chinese Walls— You may plan for every minute; But with all your wily schemes, Some few Negroes will be in it. You may form your "Lily Whites," You may.kill your bear and skin it; When the "pie" is passed around, Some shrewd Negro will be in it. Be it high or be it low, From cook pot to Senate; There is not a place on earth, That a Negro isn't in it. So, my friend, just stop your folly, Draw this thought way out and spin it. God intends from first to last, That the Negro must be in it. You may try the plan of Pharoah, Kill the race out, try to thin it; When the census roll is called, Negroes always will be in it! You keep on with your lynching, Take this thief and pin it; When you reach the shores of hell You will find some Negroes in it. You may reach the Land of Beulah, If by chance, you e'er should win it; Don't you emigrate, my brother, When you find all Negroes in it. — St. Louis Advance.

While she had not expected it, she would have rejoiced greatly had one of her sisters offered to sacrifice part of her vacation and spend it with Nancy, keeping house for her father in the hot city. Perhaps it was unfortunate that Nancy was the only one of the motherless Owen girls who had a taste for housekeeping. Of the other three, Bess taught in the kindergarten, Olive was a librarian and Beatrice taught music in a private school. When schools were closed and Olive had begged a vacation the three were wont to pack their trunks and join a merry party of friends in country and seashore, where, chaperoned by a distant cousin, they enjoyed all the pleasures of the gay summer. This had gone on for several years, and Mr. Owen, absorbed in business, had not noticed that Nancy was not getting her share of the good things of the world. When his own vacation came around the other girls had returned, and he had gone away on hunting or fishing trip quite content that his daughters were looking fresh and bright and happy. This year he had thought Nancy looked fagged and worn, and into the midst of vacation plans he had thrown a quiet question. "What of Nan? She has never had a vacation. Why can't one of you girls stay with me and let Nancy go away?" There was a chorus of protest. "But father, Nan is home all the time—she doesn't work hard—she doesn't require a rest! The rest of us are poked up all day for nine months in the year over stupid children! Nancy doesn't need a vacation!" Nancy had not been there and never knew of the argument; she had become used to staying at home during the warm summer days and had learned to arrange the house so that it always seemed cool and inviting to her father on his return at night. With one maid servant, Nancy did not have much work to do, but it was the monotony of the lonely life that told upon her and drove the pink from her cheeks and the elasticity from her step. "So the girls got away all right?" questioned Mr. Owen as he unfolded his napkin that night. "Yes," said Nancy, spiritlessly. "We must get time to run around to some of the summer shows, Nan! It won't do for us to get down in the mouth just because we're left alone, eh?" Mr. Owen finished his soup before he peered at Nancy around the pink-shaded lamp. She was smiling brightly as she smiled every year when her father made the same remark; Mr. Owen detested every form of entertainment save the opera, and Nancy mercifully never held him to his half-velled promises. A few days after this, Mr. Owen telephoned to Nancy that he would bring a guest home to dinner that night. It was not uncommon for her father to invite some business friend to dinner, and the girl was accustomed to listen quietly to much talk about business and politics. She so laid another, place at the table and added a few touches to the dalty arrangement. It was all very cool and appetizing after the hot glaze of the downtown streets. A frosted green shade on the lamp, a bunch of dark purple violets in a silver vase, the sparkle of cut glass and polished silver, made the meal most inviting. In the parlor, now shrouded in brown linen and softly lighted from the chandeliers, Nancy sat and played on the piano until after her father's latch key grated in the lock. She heard the sound of voices and knew they had gone upstairs. Presently her father's voice in the doorway roused her from a half reverie. "Nancy, dear, I want to introduce Mr. Ballinger—my daughter, the stay-at-home. Ballinger!" The girl found herself greeting a younger man than any her father had yet introduced. He was young and decidedly handsome, with the good looks that are the endowment of perfect health. He was tall and his shoulders were broad and he carried them with a little free swing that seemed to belon gmore to the open country than to the cramped city life. He looked with interest at little Nancy, in her soft white gown with a string of pearls about her white throat. The brown hair was brushed softly back from her white forehead and the perfect crescents of her dark brows were arched above her steady blue eyes. Nancy flushed under his scrutiny, brief as it was, and with a few words of greeting left the room to give last instructions about the dinner. When the gong rang she was waiting in the dining room. Mr. Ballinger did not permit the conversation to linger among the dry details of business or politics; he brought Nancy into a warm discussion of the merits of rival opera singers, and laughingly gave in when she had defeated his arguments. Their talk turned upon art and travel and Mr. Owen learned with surprise that his little home-staying daughter possessed 1 1 6 4 "Just a little father." a richly stored mind and a wide knowledge of subjects upon which he confessed himself quite ignorant. Both Nancy and her father found Paul Ballinger intensely interesting. Nancy sighed a little when the dinner was ended, but afterward, in the parlor, it was still more delightful. Mr. Owens asked Nancy to sing and she brought out her old books and played as only Nancy could play. All the old favorites that the two men demanded, the girl sang in her rich contralto voice, and sometimes Ballinger joined in with what Nancy thought was the sweetest tenor in the world. After that Paul Ballinger came often. Sometimes he dropped around in the evening and they sat in the shadow of the front door and talked; the two men growing more intimately acquainted while the girl sat near by, happy to listen to the conversation of the only man who had ever attracted her. Sometimes Ballinger brought around his motor car and the three went for long spins into the country. Nancy often wondered what her sisters would have said to see her on such occasions. She was sure that even the delights of Sea Side could not have restrained them from coming home. All the time Nancy was growing prettier, and stronger and happier. A beautiful color bloomed in her cheeks and her blue eyes sparkled with a new light. When the three months were up, the Owen girls came back from their vacations. Brown as berries, strong and cheerful, at the dinner table that night they dashed into a recital of their summer pleasures. "There was a frightful scarcity of men," confessed Beatrice frankly. "We girls had to dance together at the hops and we all learned to row and swim without the customary help! Bess, being the beauty, received most of the attention!" Bess blushed rosily. "Nonsense, Bee. You didn't miss much pleasure, Nancy, dear," she said rather descendingly to her sister. "And really, now, dad, Nancy didn't need a vacation! Look at her—she is the picture of health!" Nancy redened under their curious eyes and one hand went up to her hair in the old nervous manner. "Nancy Owen!" her sisters shrieked in chorus. "Where did you get that ring?" With a guilty look at her father Nancy hid her hand with its beautiful cluster of sapphires and diamonds. "That's part of Nancy's vacation," remarked Mr. Owen, with a twinkle in his eye. They stared, round-eyed. At last Olive spoke whimsically. "If that is part of the vacation—pray tell us about the remainder, dad." "Oh, the remainder is merely Nan's engagement to Paul Ballinger—and they are to be married in October and go abroad for a year!" "Paul Ballinger!" groaned Beatrice; then she arose and ran around the table to Nancy's side. "You are the most unselfish girl in the world, Nancy—and deserve to be perfectly happy." When she had been kissed and congratulated and the girls had admired the lovely ring, Nancy smiled over their heads at her father. "Wao will keep house for dad next summer?" she asked demurely. "I!" the three cried in chorus, and as they fell into merry dispute over the coveted position, Nancy stole away to the parlor, where she knew that perfect happiness awaited her. What becomes of the men and boys reported missing in Milwaukee. An average of 300 men and boys are reported missing to the police each year, one-half of whom are never heard of again. Just where these men go to has never been satisfactorily explained. It is probable that some of them are confined in insane asylums throughout the country. For instance, there are many men with wrecked minds confined at the county asylum whose past is a blank. These men were picked up on the streets wandering almlessly around. Very few women disappear, but when they do it is usually a case of some mental disease and the missing one is easily found again. Sometimes an affair of the heart causes her to wander away from her home and in this case it is rare that she ever returns. The majority of persons who disappear, however, are men either affected with the "wanderlust" or others whose domestic responsibilities do not rest heavily on their minds.—Milwaukee Wisconsin. A Superfluous Question: "You told me how deep to plant squash and onions and beans and corn and beets," exclaimed the lady boarder from the city, who was enthusiastically engaged in gathering data for a book she proposed to write on gardening, "but I forgot all about asking you about egg plants—will you tell me how deep they should be planted?" The old farmer was digging holes for a new henhouse. "Can't you **for yourself**" he grunted. Missing. The KITCHEN CABINET ARRY NOT in die yearning For the moments that are gone; Yesterday hath no returning, And life's stream is flowing on; Flowing on with joy or sorrow Toward the dark unfathomed sea— Everward the murrow That conceals eternity. The Hot Box. We all know the discomfiture of a delayed train caused by a "hot box." A few grains of sand out of place, causing the friction and heat, make all the trouble. And so it is in the household. We are prepared to combat the larger annoyances, but "the little briars that catch and fret" find us unawares. The smallest grain of impatience or ill temper will follow and spoil a whole day. Let us be careful to keep well oiled with cheerfulness and good temper, especially during these trying days of hot weather when even sweet dispositions seem easily soured. Seasonable Dishes for Breakfast. Use large green peppers of uniform size and regular shape. Wash them and cut in halves crosswise. Remove the seeds and the white membrane and cook in boiling water ten minutes. Drain upside down and in each half. Sprinkle a few buttered crumbs mixed with chopped ham, moistened with cream in each. Break an egg carefully in each pepper, season with salt and pepper and bake until the white is set. Serve with buttered toast for a breakfast dish. Corn Cake. Take a cupful of fine Indian corneal and two cupfuls of flour, add one teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonful of baking powder sifted well. Add the well beaten yolks of three eggs. Beat slowly into this two cupfuls of milk and lastly add the stiffly beaten whites. Bake in a shallow square and break the cake instead of cutting it. Graham Muffins Take one and one-half cupfuls of graham flour, one-half cupful of white flour, one-quarter of a cupful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, well sifted with the flour. Add to this two well beaten eggs and one cupful of milk. Bake in hot gum pans twenty-five minutes. Thin slices of bread dipped in egg and fried on both sides in butter, served with minced ham and cheese sprinkled over them and put into the oven to melt the cheese is a nice dish for breakfast. LET us then today endeavor To enjoy life's present sun, And the morrow may not come; Let us do the loving duties That await us on the way, And behold the myriad beauties That abound in life today. C. Howard. Some Dishes for the Vegetarian. Those who are strictly vegetarian in their tastes leave out all dishes made of eggs in their dietaries. Vegetables and cream soups have been discussed so often that this time I will treat of other thngs. Savory Potato Ple. Peel and parboll a quart of potatoes, slice and put them in a deep pie dish with salt, pepper and two small onions, sliced; a tablespoonful of taploca which has been soaked for an hour, a half a pint of water and a tablespoonful of butter. Half a cupful of celery or a dash of celery salt is an addition to the ple. Cover it with pastry and bake half an hour in a moderate oven. Egg and Tomato Pudding. Cook six eggs in the shell until hard, cut each into eighths, lay them in a well-buttered pudding dish, pour over them two cupfuls of stewed tomatoes, thickened with a tablespoonful of flour rubbed in two tablespoonfuls of butter, season with pepper and salt and a teaspoonful of onion juice. Cover the top with buttered crumbs and brown in the oven. Savory Macaroni Boll half a pound of macaroni until tender in boiling salted water, drain and arrange in a shallow vegetable dish. Have ready two or three hard-cooked eggs, cut the whites in strips and add to the macaroni. Prepare a cupful of white sauce by cooking together a tablespoonful each of flour and butter (salt and pepper to taste); when bubbling add a cupful of oil milk. Into this when thick and smooth add a quarter of a cupful of grated cheese, take from the fire and pour over the macaroni. Put the yolks of the eggs through a rice as a garnish over the top. Fruit with gelatine is well liked and makes a change that is agreeable. Next in importance to fruits for the hot weather diet is the vegetable. Plain salads of vegetables are most wholesome and appetizing. A slice of tomato or a leaf of lettuce with an oil dressing is a food and a medicine. Rice Water. An excellent binding for soups that may always be ready, is rice water. Drain the rice, setting the water away to cool. It will thicken and when added to a cream or purée it will require no other thickening. E WHO is useless on top of the ground ought to be under it napring the cabbages." Salads for Summer Festivities. There never has been a salad which is such a general favorite as the chicken. A hen is best for salad if a capon is not obtainable. Draw as for roasting, wash the inside carefully and scrub the skin with a vegetable brush, using a spoonful of soda to a quart of warm water. The skin of a chicken needs careful cleansing. Put the chicken into a kettle of boiling water, back down, cover and cook slowly (so that the water just moves) until tender, but not so long that the flesh drops from the bones, as then it has lost its flavor in the broth. Let it cool in the broth to absorb as much as it will. Free the meat from the skin and gristle and cut in half-inch cubes. Marinate with French dressing, a half cupful to four cups of chicken, and stand or ice one hour. When ready to serve, add a cupful of tender celery crisped in cold water, dried in a towel and cut in pieces the size of the chicken cubes, and a cupful of finely shredded cabbage. With this mix one cupful of good dressing, either boiled or mayonnaise. Garnish the salad with water lilies made of hard-cooked eggs. Curled celery may also be used as an effective garnish. Cut it in inch or in inch and a half strips and shred nearly to the center from each end. Put into water which has been made slightly acid with lemon juice or vinegar, and it will curl. Use around the edge of the salad, in with the green of the lettuce—it makes a very pretty garnish. When a large quantity of salad is to be made, veal carefully cooked may be added to the salad to eke out the chicken, and the result will deceive the elect. Sweet Bread and Cucumber Salad. Sweet Bread and Cucumber Salad. When the cucumbers come from the market, put into cold water to remove the blood. Parboli 20 minutes in acidulated water and remove the pipes and membrane. Cut in half-inch cubes, mix with equal parts of diced cucumber, season with salt and pepper and chill. Serve with a sour cream dressing, using sour cream seasoned to taste with onion juice, salt and pepper and a little vinegar or lemon juice. Make nests of lettuce and garnish with radish roses. That fell like sunshine where it went, Then we may count the day well spent That helped some soul and nothing cost, Then count that day as worse than loss Appetizing Celery. That celery is a well-known nerve tonic is demonstrated in the patent medicines found on our market that contain celery. It is also a valuable food and often rather expensive, as so many housewives discard the coarse green stalks and all the green leaves. Every sound bit of celery is valuable, the outside stalks contain all the nerve stimulants in an even greater proportion than do the tender white ones in the center of the bunch. The coarser parts are good stewed and served in a white sauce, which at the same time builds up wasted tissue and supplies nerve power. When one has a little celery, but not enough for a dish, try cooking it with cabbage. It will be found that the cabbage partakes of the flavor of the celery. The leaves and coarse stalks may be used in vegetable soups for flavor. A few celery leaves and coarse stalks added to stewed onions give the latter a most agreeable flavor, and make onions acceptable to many people who dislike them cooked alone. In combination with vegetables, fruits, fish and meats, celery has a valuable place. As a flavoring for a cream soup it is a general favorite. Here is a way of serving celery which is not common: Parbull (celery cut in three-inch pieces) until soft. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, dip in a fritter batter and fry in deep fat. Serve very hot, with tomato sauce. Use for Dry Bread. When you have some slices of bread that you don't know what to do with try this: Pour hot milk over the bread. Beat one egg, add a table-spoonful of flour and enough milk to make a batter. Drain the bread and dip in the batter, then fry a nice brown in a little hot fat. Nellie Maxwell. Airy Pun.

Newark, N. J.-Persons who have been going regularly for the last few weeks to the barber shop of Sebastian Salano, in No. 615 Springfield avenue, this city, to get shaved and shampooed, got a surprise the other day when they learned the young man known to them as "Jimmie," whose chair they all sought because his touch with the razor was so light, was Mary de Marco, an Italian girl. Her hair had been cut short and she wore a natty blue serge suit with such grace that her disguise was perfect and none suspected she was a woman masquerading in a man's clothes. The young woman might have kept up her disguise for many weeks more THE SHOPPER. Working as a Man. without Salano's customers being any the wiser had not the police got wind of the case and exposed the trick by arresting the barber and his girl assistant, whose skill with the razor was increasing his business daily. The police also arrested Albert Rosso, another barber, of No. 318 Sixteenth avenue, who was implicated by the young woman. The trio were arraigned before Magistrate Yuilli in the Fourth precinct court and there the story came out of how the young woman had been forced to work in the barber shops of both men. She told the magistrate she lived in Irvington, and made the acquaintance of Rosso through Salano. Two months ago Rosso invited her to go with him to Maplewood, she asserted. The young woman alleges she was drugged and when she regained her senses she discovered her hair had been cut off and she was dressed in a man's suit of clothes. She found herself in Rosso's barber shop, and when she asked him what had happened to her she alleges he told her he had cut off her hair and had burned her clothing. She said she obeyed Rosso's instructions to work in the barber shop, and as she was familiar with the use of a razor she had little trouble in keeping up the disguise. She got tired of the job and fled to Salano's place and begged him to help her. Meantime she still wore her disguise and shaved the men who came to Salano's place. Magistrate Yull held Rosso in default of $1,500 ball and Salano in $500 ball. The young woman was held as a witness. CASTS GEMS INTO QUICKSAND Burglar Throws Away $2,000 In Treasure When Police Chase Him Into Swamp. New York.—Somewhere in a four-acre swamp which faces on Featherbed lane, an old Dutch thoroughfare in the outskirts of the Bronx, there is a parcel of silverware and jewelry valued at $2,000. The valuables are working downward through the mud and quicksand, and probably will never be recovered. The treasure was stolen by a burglar, who "jimmied" his way into the flat of a wealthy real estate operator. The burglar had an easy time, because the family had gone out of the city for two days and the servants had a holiday. While he was at work, however, a woman saw him and called the police. The burglar heard her and fled. The thief ran into the swamp and hid in the tall marsh grass. When the policeman found him fast in the quick-sand his booty had disappeared. "I threw the stuff into the swamp," he said. "Nobody will ever get it." Sprouts In Lad's Nose. Nashua, Ia.—O. B. Taylor's little son had to be taken to a specialist to have a grain of corn removed from his nose. The boy had pushed the kernel up his nostril some time ago and his parents supposed it had passed through into his throat, but a few days ago the boy began to have trouble with his nose and when taken to a specialist and examined it was found the kernel was still lodged there. It was removed, and when brought to light it was found to have sprouted. MUNYON'S WITCH HAZEL SOAP Makes the skin soft as velvet. Improves and complexion. Best shampoo made.

Roy Bone, a brother of United States District Attorney Harry Bone, several years ago was a reporter on the Wichita Beacon. In going to a fire one of the members of the fire department was thrown from a hose cart and killed. Bone wrote a head, with this as the first deck: "Gone to His Last Fire." The piece got into the paper and Bone was promptly "fired."—Kansas City Journal. PRESSED HARD. Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in a Southern state says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inverteate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife pre prepare some for the next meal; the whole family liked it so well that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the family, but in a more marked degree in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. INSURGENTS IN WASHINGTON MILES POINDEXTER WILL BE U. S. SENATOR THERE. Judge Burke With Backing of Taft and Ballinger Seems to Have Been Defeated. Seattle, Washington.—Progressives bearing the banners of radical insurgency have won in the state of Washington. The direct primary elections for nominations held throughout the state resulted in an overwhelming victory for Miles Poindexter, one of the conspicuous members of the original little band of insurgents, over Judge Thomas Burke, the regular Republican and administration candidate for United States senator from the state of Washington. William S. Humphrey, congressman from the first district seems certainly defeated for renomination. Most likely two and possibly all of the three congressional districts have been carried by the insurgents. Pointdexter, the count shows, has carried every county in the state and possibly Seattle, which has been the home of Judge Burke for a third of a century. Former United States Senator John L. Wilson, retired from the race in Judge Burke's favor two weeks ago, doing so in the hope of making Judge Burke's nomination certain. He withdrew at the request of President Taft, it was announced at the time. Burke had not only the backing of President Taft and Secretary Ballinger and the administration forces, but the railroads, especially the Great Northern and Northern Pacific. However, organized labor arrayed against him in almost solid phalanx. Among other things he was charged with being pro-Japanese.

Runyan, industrial commissioner for the Commercial club, has begun a campaign to have a joint meeting of the Union and Confederate army veterans in Kansas City in October, 1911. This is something that has been attempted before, but never with success. "I have great hopes of success," Mr. Runyan said.

TO KNOW IF ALDRICH WAS RIGHT President Taft Has Called Protracted Cabinet Meeting to Devise Methods of Economy. Beverly, Mass.—A force of experts will shortly be put to work in the big departments of the government at Washington to locate the leaks. President Taft wants to know how much of the $300,000,000 that Senator Aldrich says he could save the government by conducting it on business lines can really be saved. It is possible to conduct the government on the lines of a well run business establishment, the president wants to know it, if not why not. Every department is to be gone through minutely. The wastes are to be noted; the lost motion located; the duplications marked. National economy is to be made the watchword. At the meeting or the cabinet which has been called for September 24, which will be succeeded by a series of such meetings from day to day for a week, this matter of economy will be one of the important subjects disguessed, and the president is looking to the development of some practical plan whereby the end he has in view may be accomplished.

Portland, Maine.—There was no uncertainty in the voice which Maine recorded its preference for governor and its attitude on the issue of the campaign generally, the plurality given to Frederick M. Plaisted of Augusta (Democrat) being decisively large, while three of the four congressional districts which are ordinarily strong Republican returned Democratic candidates. Early returns also indicate that the legislature might be Democratic and elect a Democrat as a successor to United States Senator Hale. In the face of the sweeping Democratic victory, the Republican leaders were overwhelmed with surprise and the magnitude of their successes astonished even the most sanguine of Democrats. It was the first beating the Republicans of Maine, the state of Blaine and Reed, had had in 30 years, THE OKLAHOMANS MAY VOTE Gov. Haskell Will Submit Prohibition and Woman Suffrage November 8.

Young People SULTAN'S PIT GAME IS NOVEL Prisoners Placed In Labyrinth and Offered Freedom Under Unique Conditions. A certain Sultan who was fond of all manner of intricate puzzles used to amuse himself by testing the ingenuity and resource of his prisoners of war. Among other buildings about his palace he had a peculiar maze, which consisted of 12 pits, open to the sky above and connected by a series of underground passages, which were quite dark. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Upon one occasion he caused six prisoners to be placed in these pits, three of them dressed in red in the pits numbered 1 2 3, and three more dressed in yellow in the pits numbered 10, 11, 12. The Sulfan commanded his vizier to provide each of these prisoners, who were complete strangers to one another, with a rifle and five cartridges, and to inform them separately that any of them who could escape alive under the following conditions should be set free and returned to his own country: The three dressed in red were to exchange places with the three dressed in yellow, but only one man was to move at a time, upon a given signal, a bell for the red and a whistle for the yellow. Each man could move only from the pit in which he stood to another pit that he could see in a direct line with his own, the passage from one pit to another being always a direct line through the dark. As each pit commanded a view of two others, each man was told that if he saw another man dressed in a different color from himself standing in any pit he should fire upon him at once and kill him or the man whom he saw would in turn shoot at him. If any survived and got to the other side of the maze they would be set free. This plan having been explained to the prisoners before the day set for the experiment and each of them having been provided with a plan of the maze it appears that one of them had studied out a plan by which they might all escape with their lives, and when they were placed in the pits, the tops of which were open to the sky, he called to the others in his own language and was delighted to find that they all understood him, whereupon he explained his plan and gave the word of command to each man as to the direction he should take. In 22 moves they had safely changed places, no red man having ever seen a yellow man and no two men having ever been in the same pit at the same time. How was this accomplished? MOTOR-CYCLE SIREN WHISTLE Powerful Alarm Device, to Be Placed on Front Fork of Machine, is on Market.

UNIQUE GAME WITH LETTERS Each Player Is Given a Vowel and Five Minutes to Write Sentence—Longest Wins. "Now," said Charlie, when everybody was gathered around the table, "let's play the vowel game father told us he used to play when he was a boy." "How do you play it?" asked everyone at once. "It's very easy," replied Charlie, distributing pencils and paper impartially among the family group. "You take the five regular vowels, a, e, i, o, u, and, beginning with the first letter, each player writes as long a sentence as he can, using no vowel except 'a' in any word, but repeating that letter as often as he wishes." "I don't quite understand," said Cousin Lucy. "Please give us an example." "You'll have to give me a few minutes' grace, then," laughed Charlie taking his pencil and paper. "Suppose I take a'." He wrote industriously a few minutes and then read the result aloud: "Ah, madam, Frank Farns, a tall tasty, black man at Panama, has a cat that can catch all bad ants and bats at Nathan's pantry and barn." "Bravo!" cried uncles and aunts and cousins, as Charlie finished reading the queer sentence. "You see," continued Charlie, "you may give the players five minutes, or any time you agree on beforehand, to make up the sentence. When the time is up, the sentences are read and the one having the longest sentence of good, plain, commonplace English has gained the first point. You go on this way for each of the five vowels, and when all the sentences are read and compared, the person who has gained the most points wins the game." A TRIP BEGUN IS HALF DONE. Wille, Jennie, Mary, Joe, Decided they would take a row From Boston down to Tokyo. Until up spoke the River Man: "I really do not think you can, For Tokyo is in Japan."

LIFTING CATS AND RABBITS Mistake to Lift Animal by Nape of Neck Without Supporting Lower Part of Body. It is a mistaken idea that the proper way to lift a full-grown cat is by the nape of its neck without supporting the lower part of its body with the other hand, says Watchord. It is true that the mother cat carries young kittens by grasping in her mouth the loose skin at the back of her offspring's neck, but a tiny kitten is a very different matter from a large cat, and, indeed, the only way to lift a kitten without squeezing or hurting its soft little body is to lift it by its neck; but after it has grown larger its own weight is too great to be supported by such a bit of skin and fur as is so grasped by the hand, and many a cat suffers perfect tortures by being held in this manner, and is quite helpless to run or struggle, as in such a position certain of its muscles cannot be controlled, and it is absolutely at the mercy of its unconscious tormentor. The same rule should be observed in lifting rabbits by their ears. They should always be partially supported by the free hand and not allowed to dangle with their whole weight straining from their large but necessarily delicate ears.

CAMPAIGN OPEN The fall campaign for the election of State and County officers is now at hand and both, or in fact all, political parties are now about ready for the impending battle. The campaign this year presents seevral new phases which have not been present in any similar campaign in the past, and to forecast what the final result of the present campaign will be is a very hazardous task. Together and in common with other citizens and again separate and distinct from any other class of citizens, the colored people of Kansas and of this community has a most peculiar and trying situation to meet. The conditions which confront the colored voters of this state and county are of such a nature as will call forth from the colored men their most conservative and best thinking men to come to such a political conclusion that the result thereof will be wholesome and beneficial to the whole race at large. It is hoped that the colored people will seriously consider, and then cast their ballot where it will do the most good. BOY WANTED—Office boy wanted at Saerchlight office, 630 N.

STATUE OF AN ETHIOPIAN QUEEN 00° 478 VERTICAL SUN-DIAL, AND MODEL OF A TEMPLE PYLON INCE the excavation in Crete, changed the Minoan myths in tortical fact and revealed the tence of a great island empire existed in the Aegean long Greek civilization began, then been few discoveries of great terest and importance than which have recently been m INCE the excavation in Crete, which changed the Minoan myths into historical fact and revealed the existence of a great island empire that existed in the Aegean long before Greek civilization began, there have been few discoveries of greater interest and importance than those which have recently been made by the Sudan. Professor Garstang at Meroe, in the Sudan. Professor Sayce in 1999 located the site of the city of Meroe on the east bank of the Nile, between the Fifth and Sixth Cataracts, and the excavations carried on by Professor Garstang at the end of 1909 enabled the details of the Ethiopian capital to become known. The Temple of Amon, where the Ethiopian Kings were crowned, was also discovered. Even more interesting is the excavation of the beautifulibul Sun Temple, which was discovered at the edge of the khor, or meadow, thus confirming the account of Herodotus, who tells us that Cambyses sent to the Ethiopian King to inquire about "the Table of the Sun" in a meadow "in the suburbs of the capital, where cooked meats were set each night." There is no doubt that this building is referred to in the Homeric legend that Zeus and the other gods feasted every year for twelve days among the blameless Ethiopians. Many others buildings were also explored, and the Temples of the Lion and the Kenisa were discovered. It may be noted that the lion emblem was of frequent occurrence, and may probably have been the totem of the district. Many beautiful objects were dug up by the expedition, in- STATUE OF AN ETHIOPIAN QUEZ cluding forty inscriptions in the hieroglyphics of Meroe, two royal statues, and a great many vases of a new kind of pottery, objects of wood and glass, titles and pottery. Especially interesting was the pottery which is almost as thin as biscuit china, and gives evidence of Roman influence. Professor Sayee found Greek inscriptions showing how the city was destroyed at the end of the fourth century A. D., by a King of Axum, since which event the city was unoccupied. Ethiopia was the name given by the Greeks to a country south of Egypt variously conceived as including only Nubia (Aethiopia Aegypti), or Nubia, Sonnar, Kordofan and Abyssinia, or a region extending indefinitely east and west from the Upper Nile, but applied after the fall of Meroe more particularly to Abyssinia. The name is said to have had its origin from the fact that it was alluded to by the Greeks as a country of sunburned faces. Historically there were three distinct kingdoms known as Ethiopia, those of Napata, Meroe and Askum. There is no definite evidence that either of these included at any time all the territory between the southern border of Egypt and Bab el Mandeb. Already in the time of the old empire the Egyptians had relations with their southern neighbors. From the forests of Nubia they obtained a large proportion of their timber, and the city of Abu (Elephantine) derived its name from the ivory which found its way to this place from the interior of Africa. King Uncas (c 3290-3260 B. C.) employed warriors belonging to six Nubian tribes in his war upon the Bedouins. The early pictorial representations of Nubian archers do not suggest, that they were negroes. A regular conquest of the country south of Syene apparently was not undertaken until the twelfth dynasty (c. 2522-2323). The most powerful Nubian people at this time was Kashi or Kosh, the Hebrew Cush. It is probable that the stock was originally Hamittic, though in course of time it absorbed various Negritic tribes. Usertesen III (c. 2409-2372) established his frontier north of the second cataract and built for its protection two forts at Semneh and Kummeh on opposite sides of the river. Whether the Hyksos kings ever held possession of this territory is doubtful. At any rate it had to be reorganized by Aahmes (1575-1553), the founder of the eighteenth dynasty and his successors. Napata probably had been the capital of the independent kingdom, since it was made the residence of the viceroy, entitled prince of Kosh, who governed the new Egyptian province. In the time of Rameses II there was an unsuccessful rebellion. Planch I, who seems to have reigned in Napata since 777, availed himself of the weakness of Egypt at the end of the reign of Uasarken III to make an invasion of Egypt. He defeated twenty petty rulers and forced a treaty. Shabaka, a grandson of Planch, united all Egypt with Ethiopia under one crown. Napata was destroyed by Cambyses in 524. --- C EXCAVATION OF THE HIGH ALTAR AND HALL OF COLUMNS IN THE TEMPLE OF AMON. A new kingdom gradually arose in the south after the fall of Napata, with Meroe as its capital. The kings, Arura, Harsten, Nastasen, who reigned in the fifth and fourth centuries, conquered considerable territory south of Meroe in Seunar and Kordofan, and possibly in Abyssinia. While the suzerainty of the Ptolemies seems to have been recognized for religious reasons, King Ergamenes, by putting to death the priests who had demanded that he should abdicate in the time of Ptolemy IV Philopator (221-204), paved the way for independence. Ptolemy V. Ephlanes (204-181) was able to resist his attack upon Egypt, but not able to prevent his asserting of sovereignty in Ethiopia. Queen Candace seems to have extended her power in the north, and twenty-five provinces are said to have been tributary to her. But her invasion of Egypt was successfully resisted by Calus Petronius in B. C. 24. Napata, that had been rebuilt, was destroyed by the Romans. Another Queen Candace is mentioned in Acts vili. But gradually Meroe itself fell into ruins. To guard against invasion by the Blennmyans, a people akin to the Bugaitae, the modern Beja, Dioleciant moved the Nobatae, negro tribes of the same stock as the population of Kordofan, from the oasis of Kcharge into the Nile valley. The mountain region of Abyssinia was probably inhabited in very early times by Semites as well as Hamites. Whether the original home of the former was in Africa or in Arabia the overflow population would naturally set in the direction of this Alpine country. As the native name shows, the Semitic Ethiopians were still in the nomadic state when they entered this territory, priding themselves on being wanderers, roaming freely wherever they liked. There were evidently successive waves of immigration. If the Egyptian Hbst is of Semitic origin, as can scarcely be doubted, they were apparently kinsmen of the Yemenites in Eretria and on the Somali coast c. 1500 B. C. Sebaean inscriptions found in Yeha, the ancient Awa, may be as old as the seventh century B. C. As long as the Ptolemies dominate the Erythrean coast from Adulis, Berenice and Arsinoe, a strong Abyssinian kingdom could not well develop. But in the reign of Augustus, when the Romans suffered serious reverses in Arabia, and were occupied in Africa with Queen Candace, while the Arsacid conquests in eastern Arabia forced the Yenunite States to seek compensation for their losses elsewhere, the Semitic element in Ethiopia seems to have been reinforced, and the kingdom of Askum founded. The "Perplus maris Erythreel," probably written by Bastles between A. D. 56 and 67, refers to a king of Askum by the name of Zoscales, who controlled the coast from Massowah to Bab el Mahdeb, and was a friend of Greek culture. It is possible that some of the Greek coins with Greek legends that have been preserved should be assigned to the second Ways of Berlin Women --- and third centuries A. D. On a marble throne in Adullas, Cosmos Indicopleutes found and copied in the sixth century an inscription commemorating the power of a great king whose name is not given. He is supposed by some scholars to be the founder of the Askumite kingdom, but it is more probable that be reigned at the end of the third century A. D. King Alzana is known to have reigned in the year A. D. 356. In his time Frumentius preached Christianity in the country. The political relations that had long existed between Askum and Rome were such as to favor his mission. In 378 Askum was reduced to its African territory. In A. D. 525 Elesbaes, king of Askum, with the aid of the Sabaen and Hadramautian rulers, made an end to the Hisyarite kingdom of Dhu Nuwas, and Ethiopia again controlled Arabian territory. Before the end of the century, however, the Askumites were driven back to Africa, and never again extended their conquests to Arabia. According to a letter addressed to a king of Nubia in the time of the Patriarch Philotheus of Alexandria (980-1002), preserved in the four- Ways of Be "I believe that the typical German hausfrau is a myth," said a New York woman who returned the other day from a year's residence in Germany. "I don't see how the average German woman finds any time to be a hausfrau. I sometimes wondered when the German woman found time to do anything at home. "I spent eight months in Berlin with my daughter, who was studying music. From eleven to twelve in the morning the cafes were packed with German women, who go out to take their second breakfast in the public restaurants, a thing unknown in America. "They take along their sewing or embroidery and sit an hour or two over their cup of coffee or glass of beer. At the concerts, too, they take their work and spend hours day after day listening to the music. You can spend an afternoon listening to beautiful music, a magnificent orchestra with fine vocal artists, for 16 cents. That is an illustration of some of the things that help to exile Americans. "At three in the afternoon again you will see the cafe crowded with German women taking their afternoon tea. I think American women are more domestic than German, because I never heard of American women who left their homes in the evening to pass the 10 teenth century "Life of the Patriarchs" and in the "Ethiopic Synaxar", a woman who reigned over the Beni el Hamuna had recently invaded the country, burned the churches and monasteries, and driven him from place to place. Marlanus Victor speaks of this woman as the founder of the Zague dynasty, and as having married a ruler of the province of Bugna, a name afterwards corrupted into Beni el Zague. Eleven kings of the so-called Zague dynasty reigned until 1270. The earliest monuments of Semitic speech in Ethiopia are the inscriptions found at Yehna. These are written in the consonantal Sabaen script and indicate that the writers used the lesna Gees, the language of Semitic Ethiopia, as early as the seventh century B. C. Geez is today represented by two dialects, Tigre and Tigral or Tigrina. The latter is spoken in Tigre, and the former is spoken in the districts north and northwest of Tigre, and shows great similarity to the old Geez. time at the club. A German friend took me one evening to the German women's club. The club has a magnificent suite of apartments, including auditorium, reading room, parlor, cafe and smoking room. "When she took me into the last apartment it almost feazed me for a minute. It was blue with smoke. I had never before seen a room filled with elegantly gowned, cultivated women all smoking. These were the wealthy society women of Berlin, titled some of them. "They were cosmopolitan in their dress and manners and did not present any striking points of difference from the American women except in the smoking. It made the occurrence of last summer, when our immigration officials detained a second class passenger, a woman art dealer, for inquiry into her sanity because she smoked cigarettes, appear very funny in retrospect. "The German women's clubs, like those of the Englishwomen, are based on the same principle as men's clubs; these are places for social enjoyment and for the convenience of members in taking meals, entertaining friends and so on. They do not take up work in study, philanthropy, reform and so on, like the women's clubs in America."

Recipes for Sherbets From the Fruit and Preserves From the Rind—The Proper Way to Serve Canteloupe. Tempting sherbets are made from both canteloupe and watermelon. There are conserves to be made of the rinds, perhaps in combination with another fruit or a vegetable. There are salads which may be concocted by adding to melons, cut into small cubes, a sprinkling of nuts and a spoonful of mayonnaise. But first catch your melon. A ripe canteloupe can be told by an examination of the stem end. Break a small piece from this and see if the melon is fragrant. If it smells spicy the melon is ripe. It is a mistake to put ice into a canteloupe, as is generally done. This takes away considerably from the sweetness of the melon meat. The canteloupe should be served in a bed of cracked ice. A toothsome dessert is made by filling a canteloupe skin with vanilla ice cream and pouring over the ice cream a mild ginger syrup. For Watermelon Sherbet—Boll a pound of sugar and a quart of water together for 10 minutes. Add two tablespoonfuls of gelatine which has been soaked in a half cupful of cold water for an hour, then when dissolved, strain and pour into the freezer. Add one pint of orange juice and freeze. When nearly frozen add two cupfuls of pink watermelon dice, and let stand packed in ice and salt for an hour and a half. In making cantelope suet, soak one teaspoonful of gelatine in a half cup of cold water for an hour. Add one-half cup boiling water. When the gelatine is quite dissolved, add one cupful of cold water, three-fourths cup of sugar, and the mashed pulp and juice of a melon about the size of a coconut. Pickled canteloupes are not found on the average table. But they certainly deserve a place there. These belong to the sweet pickle variety. Select melons not quite ripe. Cut into oblong pieces, take off the rind and soft parts near the seeds. To every eight pounds of melon allow one pint vinegar and three pounds of sugar. Mix half a teaspoonful each ground mace and cloves and one teaspoonful each cinnamon, ginger and allspice. Tie in little piece of cheesecloth and scald with the vinegar. Cook the melons in the hot syrup until tender, then skim out into a bowl. Boil the liquor down and pour over the melon. Repeat this three or four times, and the last time heat the melon with the syrup. Put into jars and seal. An excellent conserve of melon rinds can be made. Pare off the green part of the melon rind and all the pink, cut into inch pieces, shaping as desired and weigh. For five pounds of the rind allow one quart of water and a pint of vinegar. Scald the water and vinegar, add the rind and boil 10 minutes. Remove the rind with a skimmer and drain perfectly dry. Place in the preserving kettle a pint of water and $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of sugar. Boil, skim, add the melon pieces and two ounces green ginger cut in slices. Cook until the melon is clear and tender, remove with a skimmer and put in glass jars. Boil the syrup 10 or 15 minutes longer, fill the jars with hot syrup and seal. Victoria Sandwiches. Two eggs and their weight in flour and sugar, two tablespoons of milk, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoon vanilla. Beat the eggs and sugar well together for 15 minutes, mix flour and baking powder together and pass through a sieve. Then mix all well together and add the milk and pour it into round tins or soup plates well buttered, spread flat with a knife and bake for seven minutes, placing on the open grid shelf in the middle of the oven under the hot plate, and only have gas flames half an inch long. If it does not quickly brown in the oven, place it under the grill on top of the oven for two minutes. When baked place one round on the top of the other and spread jam between. Allow it to cool, then cut out in diamond shape and decorate with white icing, or pink, or two different colored jellies or jams on top. Tutti-Frutti Cheese Beat one package of cream cheese with a quarter of a cup of sweet cream, chop a dozen large table raisins, a strip of citron, six candied cherries, one candied apricot, a small piece of candied pineapple, a grating of lemon peel, a dash of nutmeg, a tablespoonful of apricot brandy, and a teaspoonful of sugar. Mix well, then mould and chill, cut in small squares when ready to use and serve with buttered toast for afternoon tea or with luncheon dessert. Towel Box.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT Scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Good Whisky and Religious Conversation. Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was the principal guest at a dinner of the London Authors' club recently, which was followed by a discussion on "Humor." Mr. Seaman began with a story deprecating the spoiling of a good dinner by any discussion at all. There were three characters in the story—a bluebottle and two Scotsmen. The story at once struck a note of probability by showing the Scotsmen drinking whisky. The bluebottle buzzed on the pane; otherwise silence reigned. This was broken by one of the Scotsmen trying to locate the bluebottle with zoological exactitude. Said the Scotsman: "Sandy, I'm thinking if you fly is a bird or a beast." The other replied: "Man, don't spoil good whisky with religious conversation." TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a skinned rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off leaving the underneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was awful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors' remedies but all failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticura. By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off. Under this, where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After three days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all is well. We only used one cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. If people would know what Cuticura is there would be few suffering with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Kossmann, 7 St. John's Place, Ridgewood Heights, N. Y., Apr. 30 and May 4, '09." English In London. Senator Depew, on the deck of the Lusitania, talked about "English as she is spoken in London." "It is very difficult to understand that London English," he said. "I know a man who had lodgings all July in Bloomsbury, near the British museum. "On his return from the museum one afternoon, my friend said to his landlady: "Can I have a cup of tea, if you please?" "Certainly, sir; at once, the landlady replied. The kettle 'as been bil'in for 'ours." "But—er—I prefer freshly boiled water, if you don't mind,' stammered my friend. "The landlady reddened with anger. "Look 'ere,' she said, if 'I ad meant not you mean I'd 'ave said hours.'" $100 Reward, $100. Does Engineering Work. Mile.

DEPT. 132 CHICAGO, ILL. AGENTS WARTED. The Qualint Bellgaa. Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the beluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,800 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 salty—and preserve only the spawn, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to bellast 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 unballs, hauls in its anchors and swims about for provender. LEAD THE IDEAL SAMPLE LIFE Finne 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 bathea. 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 Finns' book.—Ladies' Pictorial. A Queen's Will. Queen Adelade, 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," retorted the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious," urged the dame. "No, mis'am," wound up the captain. "I'm not, but the rats are." How to Get Thin. When one has just begun to acquire superhuman flesh complete abstinence from sweets and starches, a moderate 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 restraint 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 "Meanest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tight-wads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a cigar store there, was fined five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Consplucous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and stald citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was ordered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Cor. New York Sun The two-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Larrycottis. Recently there came a rea. rea. into the house. When it waz put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Ian't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice." answered the young sister heistatingly. "It's nice, but it's 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 cornet, and I'm afraid I'll strain it if I lean over." "Hum!" commented the other woman, enviously. "If I had a $50 cornet I'd wear it on the outside. I really would." A Monster Loaf Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Dulsburg, 'n Westphalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited, and afterwards cut up and distributed among the youngsters present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. Sensation in "Mystery Ship." Sydney, Australia, has had a novelty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsuled 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 entertained 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, once so hard. One by one, we have univrived our chains, we are free!—Nautilus. Band for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine. 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 clerk 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 gulf 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 misdoings 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 of catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine 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, pies, cake and all sorts of deinties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge advised 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 herde 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. Said 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." Said the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abbor the stuff! It is herole 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 dental. JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING Would-Be Suicide Not Complex Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not particle of hope for getting on in feet again, he realized that the oth- chance for his family escaping pains ism and its attendant miseries was obtain immediate use of his best life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on would be unable to pay the premium on his policies, which fortunate were not old enough to carry the selves, so that they would forbear lapse. Death, therefore, was the only option to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only understand by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance she betray to his loved ones his fell tribute. While he was traversing crowded streets he would consider best and least suspicious modes consummating his purpose. It could encompass it so that the looked to the world like an accord so much the better. Here we then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb cross the street an automobile click by a reckless joy-riding chase came tearing around the corner and rifying speed. And the energetic leap which Would-be suicide made back to sidewalk out of harm's way in caution IGH IN CIVILIZATION'S SCA Unknown People of America Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied by the Aztecs and the Incas ruled by south over which the Incas ruled an immense stretch of territory thousand miles long and 800 where the remains of unknown wonderful civilizations are being covered, says a writer in Vanleen's Magazine. This region originated from the northern boundaries of so the southern limits of Costa Rica in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown nations were recently brought to Prof. Marshall H. Saville, a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great loan museum, which will report the history of ancient peoples whoained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose once has been hitherto lost in liquidity. The famed marble chairs of at its zenith were not more ornamental or beautifully carved than of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient was more delicately patterned that found in vast quantities, numerous almost as pebbles, and sites where these extinct dwell. Their cloth was of truly velous weave; in beauty of the richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day was TO HESITATE LONG 18 TO Successful Business Man Must Attribute of Courage. Many a man fails because he do not dare to take risks, to take initiative. When do you expect to do an art distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the rank mediocrity? The men who do or things are fearless. There is a dare in their make-up, a great deboldness. They are not afraid to chances, to shoulder responsibility endure inconvenience and private There never was a time when quality of courage was so absolubilisable in the business as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you use, young man, if you lack courage you will never get anywhere, even honesty or perseverance take its place. There is no tute for courage. It does not matter how well caged you may be, or how good a ling you may have had for your tion, if you are a hesitator, lack that courage which dares to all on your judgment, you will get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the their line of endeavor stand there cause they have the courage of convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to under even against the advice of other Success Magazine. Peculiar African Race. There is a peculiar sort of living in northwest Rhodesia. Natives are small of stature, with horns on their heads. The springs from the scalp, consist of native's hair mixed with fat and and is sometimes as much as it is long. For the most part these live on the great open flats to be on both sides of the Kafue river, build their huts on the great anth which appear like hills scattered the flats. When the Kafue is in and the flats are changed into lakes these people are safe huts on the ant heaps. Their also take refuge on the ant head which corn and meaaller are like grown
