The coming of Madame Aniti Patti Brown to Wichita next Wednesday night, October 9th, at Garfield hall, should be of more than ordinary importance to the colore dpeople of Wichita. Madame Brown is one of the higher scale of singers among the colored race and has won a national fame and stands in the front ranks of sopranos, whether white or black. It is, indeed, a rare treat and an important distinction and compliment to the colored people of our city that she has put Wichita in her itinerary on her western trip and will give her race here, as well as others, an opportunity to see what a member of our race can do in a vocal line. Every colored minister, every colored lodge and every colored business and professional man should do all in his power to make the recital of Madame Brown what it should be. All Wichitans should lay aside all things else and give Madame Brown an audience well worthy of the name of Wichita and in keeping with the national reputation of this gifted member of our race. The splendid success of Madame Brown as one of the World's reatest Soprano Singers is a credit, not only to her, but to the whole colored race. If Madame Brown was a member of the other race, with even less power nad sweetness of long, you would not be permitted to go and hear her, so go now that she comes to you. The colored race must learn to patronize these people like Madame Brown, who has spent her life in training that she might reach the highest notch of perfection in voice and songs for the enjoyment of her people—and by giving the present stars our patronage we encourage other members of our race to strive to even surpass them.

The editor of the Searchlight regrets, with the people of Wichita, and the thousands of people of Kansas, to learn of the death of Ex-Governor W. E. Stanley. Some years ago when the editor was just starting in public life as a young lawyer and editor, Gov. W. E. Stanley was among the first white men of Kansas who gave him some solid advice and encouragement, and ever since that time the editor has retained Gov. W. E. Stanley among the warmest of white friends. We regret very much his death. At any time we were freee to go to him for advice, which he always willingly gave. ov. W. E. Stanley was truly one of the great intellectual minds of the state. He will be missed. "Lives of great men, all remind us, We can make our lives sublime; And on parting, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time." POLITICAL HONOR. We are firm in our contention that a man's political honor is of as much importance as is his honor in any other sphere. We would not give two raps of our finger for any man who would not be as anxious to use the same honorable methods in politics as are required i many other polite undertaking. What hope, what recommendation, what inspiration can one hold out in dealing with any man who has no political honor? This reaches further than the surface—and carries with it the life, the ambition, the all of a people and a nation. Give us the man of honor in politics as well as in business. That counts. BE SURE TO REGISTER IF YOU WANT TO VOTE!!! Vote for Jesse D. Wall for probate judge. --- FALSE FRIENDS. Nothing is more stunning than to find that some one in whom you had placed the utmost confidence as a friend, has abused your confidence and proved to be a false friend. Among the most miserable experiences of ones' life, the experience of finding a false friend is the worst. A false friend is the most dangerous person with whom one can come in contact—for the reason—that having confidence in this individual he is in position to get your very inner soul, while you will hold your avowed enemy at bay—your secret enem—the false friend—has access to our every thought, word, act and deed—and it is he who holds your destiny in his false hands. Nothing is more beautiful than true friendship—and nothing is more calamitious than false friendship. To hear a man whom you thought was your friend and in whom you had so closely confided use his voice against you—is, to say the least—stunning. While this condition seems appalling—and it is—yet there is one faint consolation—false friends are not new things—they have been on earth since creation and are as old as the world itself. This brings us abruptly to the serious inquiry, "Who are one's friends?" We are frank to admit "we do not know!" Must a man take that narrow view, to hold every one in suspicion—and confide in none? This is too unpleasant—no. While there are some false friends to everybody—one must not feel discouraged, but must continue to try, try again, and sooner or later he will find some one whose friendship will prove true and reciprocal.

BOWLES UTSIDE of Missouri the home of Thomas H. Benton, United States senator from 1821 to 1851, is known only to the student of history. Webster, Clay and Calhoun are familiar words everywhere, yet Benton served in the United States senate longer than any of these, and was responsible for UTSIDE of Missouri the home of Thomas H. Benton, United States senator from 1821 to 1851, is known only to the student of history. Webster, Clay and Calhoun are familiar words everywhere, yet Benton served in the United States senate longer than any of these, and was responsible for more sound legislation than all of them together. His name was never prominently connected with the presidency, yet he accomplished more for his country than have the majority of the presidents. This remarkable man came into the world in 1782, six years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and departed in 1851, three years before the Civil war. Thus his life covered the formative epoch of a government by the people in the making, and ended just before the outbreak that shook the foundations of the republic and bathed the nation in blood. For many years he ignored the mutterings in the political sky and preferred to believe the talk of war between the states over the question of slavery mere idle chatter. When he realized that the sentiment of disunion was real he took an uncompromising stand in favor of the union and refused to alter his position or trim his sails to meet the breezes from Missouri that were blowing the other way. Though entering public life as an advocate of the admission of Missouri into the union unrestricted as to slavery, he left the public service in the evening of life because he would not consent to vote for the extension of slavery into territory that had before been free. He was a firm believer in the doctrine of state rights, which was, as he understood it, the right of the states to govern themselves as to all matters except those delegated to the federal government. His theory of the republic was an "indissoluble union of self-governing states"—a federated republic. His education, that is the school part of it, was limited to the grammar schools and a short time in the University of North Carolina. In a larger sense he continued his studies until the day of his death, and was one of the best informed men of his time. While other statesmen were indulging in the dissipations common to that period among public men, he devoted his spare moments to investigation and study, and his knowledge of the details of public matters was vastly superior to that of any of his compeers. Benton's high moral character was blemished by his pugnacious disposition. In his early days he was involved in many "affairs of honor" as duels were termed then. He had not been in St. Louis long when the most unfortunate event in his career occurred. In the trial of a law suit some trivial dispute arose between him and a young attorney named Charles Lucas, a highly esteemed and most estimable young man. Lucas won the case and Benton challenged him. Lucas declined the challenge at first, but Benton persisted and offered deliberate insults. Lucas then accepted. They fought a first duel and no one being injured a second meeting was insisted upon by both parties. In the second duel Lucas fell, mortally wounded. Before dying he took Benton's hand and forgave him, but Benton never forgave himself, and the shadow of this tragedy went with him through the years to his grave. The code-duello was resorted to in those days often for insignificant things, and every public man of consequence had figured in such an affair either as principal or second. This duel was fought the year after Benton arrived in St. Louis. Four years later the father of the lamented victim of the duelling custom was one of the unsuccessful candidates for senator against Benton. His Fight With "Old Hickory" Benton, like Andrew Jackson, was of North Carolina birth, and, like Old Hickory, moved to Tennessee when a youth just entering upon manhood's estate. He became Jackson's friend while they both lived in Nashville and co-operated with Jackson in raising the brigade of militia which became the nucleus of the army that was to annihilate the British at New Orleans and make January 8, 1815, a red-letter day in American annals. It was on Benton's advice that the brigade was formed and offered to the government by Jackson, and for a time he was on Jackson's staff. Their friendly relations were, however, interrupted by a disgraceful brawl. Jesse Benton, a brother of Thomas Benton, had fought a duel and Jackson had seconded the antagonist. An angry dispute arose, Benton espousing his brother's cause. Jackson struck Benton with a horsewhip, and in return was shot in the shoulder by Benton. Jackson carried Benton's bullet in his shoulder until the close of his presidential term, and the wound gave him some physical distress to the end of his days. The feeling between them ran high after this episode, not to subside until the hand of fate was to bring them together again, one a senator from another state, and the other as a candidate for the presidency of the United States. A year or so after the fight Benton moved to St. Louis, where he opened a law office in connection with a newspaper of which he became editor. He became prominent at once in the discussion of public questions, and took a leading part in securing the admission of Missouri into the union. After a five years' residence in Missouri he was elected by the legislature one of the state's first two United States senators. Declined Money Profit from Public Service. Immediately upon his election, with scrupulous regard for his official integrity, Benton called all of his clients to his office and told them that he could not further serve them, as there might be a conflict between their interest and the public welfare. For some of his clients he had litigation over land grants, and as senator he was in a position, through the enactment of laws, to make them and himself wealthy in the settlement of disputed titles. He refused even to recommend an attorney to them, lest this might embarrass him in his public duty. His idea of public office was that an official had no more right to use his public functions to aid personal friends or to advance his own fortune than he would have to put his hand into the public treasury and take money therefrom to pay a private debt. Through all his official career Benton was true to this ideal and was incorruptible and above reproach from any venal standpoint. Championed "Missouri Compromise." Benton's career of constructive statesmanship was the greatest Missouri or the west has produced. He came upon the stage of public activity with the enactment of the Missouri compromise, which was largely his work. He left public life coincident with the repeal of that measure. Under this compromise Missouri was admitted into the Union (though it was some years later before the state was formally recognized) as a slave state, with the provision that no state created out of the Louisiana purchase, north of the southern boundary of Missouri, should be admitted with slavery. It hushed slavery agitation for a decade, and any attack upon it for a time was resisted by south as well as north. Benton was 39 years old when he took his seat and had lived exactly half the years given to him. Monroe was just beginning his second term as president, Calhoun was secretary of war, Henry Clay was speaker of the house of representatives. In the next presidential contest Benton supported Clay against Jackson, but ever after that he was Clay's political enemy and Jackson's warmest and strongest supporter. To Benton more than any other man is due the fact that there is no frontier in the United States today. What was a wilderness west of the Rocky mountains fifty years ago is now settled by happy and prosperous men and women by reason of his effort in securing the enactment of the homeward law. Benton established the policy of selling public land at a maximum of $1.25 an acre, giving preference to actual settlers and securing to settlers the right of preemption. This made settlement easy and streams of sturdy men and women began at once to move westward. Benton looked into the future further than any other statesman of his time. In answer to the taunts that the western country, particularly Oregon, would never be anything more than a hunting ground, he prophesied that the time would come when there would be more people west of the Rockies than east. He advocated the construction of a military road to New Mexico, and was so earnest in his support of the idea of a transcontinental railroad that his enemies charged him with being mentally unbalanced on the subject, and even his friends feared he was too enthusiastic. In one of his first speeches he prophesied that the Pacific coast would soon become the door of Asia and advised sending ministers to China and Japan—a proposal at that time considered extremely humorous. Brought About Specie Payments. Brought About Specie Payments. It was through Benton's effort that specie payments were established and that all our money became based on gold and silver. So earnest was he in the demand for a specie basis that he was nicknamed "Old Bullion," of which he became very proud, and in his speeches often referred to himself by that term. He was at first inclined to favor a protective tariff system, but later strongly opposed protection merely for the sake of protection. He stated his position thus: "The fine effects of the tariff upon the prosperity of the west have been celebrated on this floor. With how much reason let facts respond and people judge. I do not think we are indebted to the high tariff for our fertile lands and navigable rivers, and I am certain we are indebted to those blessings for the prosperity we enjoy." While he opposed the protective system he voted WON URI THOMAS H. BENTON for a protective duty on lead, which was largely produced in Missouri. In this he made the mistake that has been made by so many senators and congressmen of this day, who say they oppose protection, but vote for protection on the products of their own states, thereby placing themselves in the position of not being able to successfully question the justice of the demand of those in other states for the larger share of protection for themselves. After the election of Andrew Jackson to the chief magistracy Benton became the right arm of that great president. In the attempted nullification of the tariff laws by South Carolina, Benton made effective Jackson's ultimatum to that state demanding submission to the law, by engineering the passage of a compromise tariff bill which stopped everybody from talking of fighting, but satisfied nobody. Fought United States Bank. Fought United States Bank. Jackson's greatest battle was against the United States bank, which he declared must either be put out of business or it would run the government. Benton led this fight in the senate. He brought up the question in 1831 by submitting a resolution to the effect that it was not expedient to re-charter the bank. The war against the bank raged fiercely for years. It had many powerful adherents and obtained the support of a number of members of congress, as was shown later by investigation, through what amounted to brazen bribery in the way of favoritism on loans. In the midst of the fight the presidential election of 1832 took place and Jackson was triumphantly re-elected. Shortly after this Jackson made an order withdrawing the public funds from the bank. This precipitated a tremendous public uproar and the senate adopted a resolution censuring Jackson for the act. Benton immediately began a fight to expunge this resolution from the record, and finally, in the last days of the Jackson administration, the motion prevailed amidst great excitement and the resolution of censure was expunged by having a black border drawn around it and across its face the words: "Expunged by order of the senate, January 16, 1837." Jackson deeply appreciated the value of Benton's support and years later, on his deathbed, said to a friend: "Tell Col. Benton I am grateful." Benton was the supporter of Jackson's successors to the presidency, particularly of Van Buren and Polk, but after Andrew Jackson, the presidents up to the Civil war wielded little influence compared with those before, and were largely engaged in a game of hide-and-seek on the slavery question. In 1848 the anti-Bentonites carried a majority of the Missouri legislature. and a resolution was passed demanding that slavery be permitted to exist in territory north of the Missouri compromise boundary and instructing the senators to vote accordingly. Benton denounced this resolution as treasurable and refused to obey it. He said it did not represent the sentiment of the people of the state and he appealed from the Missouri legislature to the Missouri people. The struggle was bitter and intense. As Benton was up for re-election, it being the close of his fifth term as senator, the effort was to control the legislature which was to elect the senator for the following term. Neither side obtained a majority of the members and a deadlock resulted to be broken by the anti-Benton Democrats combining with the Whigs and bringing about Benton's defeat. The old warrior was not dismayed and kept up the fight. In 1852 he was sent to the lower house of congress from St. Louis as a Union Democrat. For thirty years he had been absolute dictator in the politics of Missouri. His word was final, and his wishes law, but the tide had turned, and for the remaining years of his life set steadily against him. Yet at no time in his career does Benton present a more inspiring figure than when, with his back to the wall, crowded on every side by foes, he continued to battle for the principles he believed in. By compromising and by truckling to the public sentiment of his state he could have regained his seat in the senate, but he would have lost the love and admiration due the brave man who prefers defeat with the right to victory with what he considers wrong. Benton's mannerisms were marked and did not tend to make him popular with the masses. He seemed egotistical to the point of absurdity, yet in him it was merely exaggerated self-respect. To the casual observer stern and pompous, he was gentle and tender-hearted to those who knew him well. His public and private life were above reproach. His high sense of honor as a public servant, his incorruptible integrity, his unwavering adherence at whatever cost to the principles he believed in, his powerful intellect and his aggressive energy combined to make him a fighter eminently qualified to lead and represent the militant people of the West in the first half of the last century. He was defeated for re-election to the house in 1854, and in 1856 became the candidate of the Union Democrats for governor, and ran third in the race. He was now 74 years old, but as vigorous and robust as ever. Without lamenting his fate or the people's ingratitude, he cheerfully took up the completion of his "Thirty Years' View," giving a mental picture of the important events in the history of our country with which he had been connected. In 1858 he died in Washington, undismayed by the storm of public misunderstanding that had wrecked his political life. He looked into the future and saw the approval of coming generations whose views would not be obscured by the passions and excitement of the moment. When the news of his death reached Missouri there was an entire change of sentiment and all classes united to do honor to his memory. They then realized that the mightiest man of Missouri was dead, the man who towered above friends and foes. All the state was in mourning and his funeral at St. Louis was attended by more than forty thousand people. Saved Missouri to Union. Saved Missouri to Union. It was the fight Benton made that enabled others, when the war came, to keep Missouri in the Union. If Missouri had seceded there probably would have been a different story to tell than that which came from Appomattox. So Benton won life's battle by simple honesty, by perseverance, by having ideals and remaining true to them in sunshine and in shadow. His influence will be felt for good as long as this republic lasts, and the failure to secure political preferment at the end of his life by giving up the fight accentuates the grandeur of his character. He lost for the moment, but in losing he gained for all time. For him there was victory in defeat. The lesson of his life is—it is not essential always to win, but it is essential to keep the faith. The Mystery of a Duel. Having fought his duel and saved his honor by firing a shot in the air, the editor of a French provincial newspaper went back to his desk and the incident had quite left his mind when he felt something strange in his thigh. He looked and found that he was bleeding profusely. A doctor was called, who discovered that a bullet was embedded in the editor's thigh some two inches deep and required extraction. "Why was this not taken notice of on the spot where the duel took place?" he asked. The editor was as much in the dark as the doctor. At the moment of the duel he had fired into the air and his adversary also took a distracted sort of aim. There had evidently been no intention of doing the slightest harm on either side. The editor felt nothing as he left the field and had shaken hands with his antagonist as a sign of reconciliation. How a bullet came to be lodged in his thigh was simply one of the mysteries of dueling. Another Boom for the Crops. "Not many delegates appeared at the Esperantist congress that met in Kansas." "No. Most of them stopped off and hired out as harvest hands." Strategy. Bessie—But didn't you say if George tried to kiss you, why, you wouldn't stand for it? Peggy—I didn't.

A little girl, after listening to the hymn, "In heaven there stands an ever open door," remarked that there must be two heavens, "cause grandma'd never had any open door where she is." And a dear little country laddle, visiting a city Sunday school and hearing about the "many manslons" of the better land, later explained that they had been "studying all about 'Paradise Flats.'" Ecclesiastical modes and matters frequently are puzzling to the little ones. A small Chicago citizen was taken to a fine church, where the music, windows, furnishings, and all accessories were as impressive as the building. The minister, living up to his enviable reputation as an orator, in dugged in a brilliant rhetorical flight "I know," he declared, "who gilds the sun and silvers the stars and paints the flowers and tints the sky and lends to the rivers their beauty, to the ocean its glory, to the skies their perfect light," and so on through long and effective periods. Finally came the interrogatory climax: "Who is it, my friends, who performs all these wonders? Who is it? Who? From the front paw where the baby listener had been all eager attention came a shrill, disappointed pipe: "You said you knew!" Trouble In the Troupe "They've had a frightful time in the No. 5 Tom company. Hear about it!" "Nope." "Busted an' walkin' back. That's right. Went to smash on the Vincennes Circuit.

The prospective builder should not lose sight of the fact that some day it may be necessary or desirable to sell the house he proposes to build; and, if it is attractive and artistic in appearance and well arranged, it can always be disposed of, and that, too, at a good profit to the owner. The requirements of different families, however they may differ in regard to certain minor matters, are in general about the same. So, by giving careful thought and study to the design of the house when building, it may be made to suit exactly one's own needs and also those of the possible future purchaser. Almost everyone requires a residence of fairly large size; and it is only natural that they should want it to be of distinguished appearance—perhaps one might say imposing; yet still in good taste. We have heard a great deal of late about the beauty of the square, box-like, handcraft style of houses; and their plain, unadorned walls have been urged upon the home builders as the only proper way to build in this advanced generation of ours. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the people like their houses artistic and well ornamented; with large, generous porches; with sunny bay windows and with ellias and projections from the main part, which add both dignity and room. Such houses may be called old fashioned by the critics, but they have been tested by generations of use and are still the kind of houses that the people want. There are modern adaptations. It is THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF MIDDLEBURG. true, of some of the parts of these houses. We have learned to make better use of them than our fathers did.

In the house design which is shown in connection with this there are two porches both of which are especially well suited for such a purpose. The rear porch is of generous dimensions and by putting in glass along two sides, letting it extend back to the kitchen door, a snug little sun parlor is easily made, opening off the dining room. This does not interfere at all with the kitchen entrance, since the glass partition would be run across just short of the kitchen door, thus leaving half of the present porch for the kitchen entry. Or, if a larger sun parlor were desired that part of the front porch extending along the side to the front --- dining room door could easily be utilized in the same way. This would make a beautiful sun parlor or conservatory for plants. It would be of large dimensions and, opening direct from the dining room, would be a very valuable addition to the house. One who has never experienced the use of such a sun room can scarcely appreciate what a desirable apartment it is, especially in the winter time.

But the other features of this residence design are deserving of attention also. There are four large pleasant rooms on the first floor—the par THE HOUSE lor, sitting room, dining room and kitchen. There are wide cased openings between the entrance hall and the parlor; the parlor and sitting room and the sitting room and dining room. An open fireplace occupies one corner of the sitting room. This is designed and built for real service and is calculated to make these rooms very cozy and comfortable. The rooms on the second floor are exceptionally desirable. Four large square bedrooms are provided and there is an unusual amount of closet space. Nothing is more to be desired in a home than ample room to store away clothing, linen, etc., properly. The closet space in this house will appeal especially to the housewives for this reason. There are no fewer than seven clothes closets, each of generous dimensions, on this floor. This house is very well constructed, has a stone foundation with basement under the entire structure, exterior walls covered with yellow pine siding, roof of red cedar shingles and interior finished in hardwood, using oak for the flooring and first quality birch for the trim. The cost is estimated at $3,500. It Got Away. It was a big fish, but it got away Perhaps it would be better to say that the fishermen got away. The fish was a shark, thirty feet long, and it almost pulled the fishing schooner, Albert Willard, on a dangerous shoal. The boat was near George's Bank, off the New England shore, when the shark came alongside. Capt. Frank Dougherty ordered his men to throw harpoons into the shark's back, and they did so. They threw five harpoons and an icepick, and all held fast. The shark started off at a great rate, dragging the heavy schooner at the ends of the harpoon lines as if it were a toy boat. After a two-hours fight with the "sea lawyer" the schooner was in danger of being drawn on a shoal, and so the lines were cut and the shark allowed to go. He took the harpoons and the icepick with him, and the crew of the Albert Willard had to chop ice with a hatchet. --- Perpetual Youth. Tls yet high day, thy staff resume, And fight fresh battles for the truth; For what is age but youth's full bloom, A weight of gold Is never old. Streams broader grow as downward rolled.

At ninety-five Shouldst thou arrive, Still wait on God and work and thrive. —Oliver Wendell Holmes. --- In the Laboratory Romance in a chemistry laboratory seems, on the face of it, absurd, but then Burke Langton was a most unusual professor—young, good looking, self-possessed, good natured and not a bit conceited. And Madge Walton, at least so Burke thought from the first, was quite unlike the usual run of chemistry students. She was always letting acids burn her pretty fingers, accidentally blowing up test tubes and beakers and keeping the chemistry class in general, and Prof. Burke Langton in particular, in a state of perpetual excitement. the laboratory. Sudden short. "Great heavens!" and then a sickle upon him as he real stumbled in the ditching soft and huma shadow he could figure of a girl, carrying motionless upon "It's one of the worked students who fatigue," he thought annoyance as he been and then realized couldn't be in the The task of wooing Madge had been anything but easy; not because Madge herself was unwilling to be wooed, but because it wasn't wise to arouse college gossip and never would be until there was an actual engagement. To call on her at her dormitory was much too obvious, to chance to encounter her in the campus was well enough, but hard to arrange. Once or twice when Madge had "let things happen" In the laboratory, Burke had had a chance to help her and show her how great was his concern. On several occasions he had requested an interview with her after hours, apparently to help her with her work, but really with quite different intentions. Finally, when the school year was almost over, he took the final step—he asked her to go to town with him to the theater. "I have something I want to talk over with you," he told her, trying to make his purpose clear, "and of course it is impossible anywhere around the old college. We'll just make the theater a sort of an excuse." Apparently Madge was delighted. She blushed, and then blushed all the more to think that he had noticed her blush. He was to get the tickets for "something Shakespearean," and they were to meet in town where none of the college people could see them. Madge was to spend the night in town with friends, and he was to return to college, perfectly happy. The great day had come, and Burke was sitting before his desk in a state of blissful reflection on Madge's eyes, and Madge's voice, and Madge's amusing ways when some one stepped timidly up to his desk. "Professor Langton!" It was indeed Madge who was talking; she seemed very grave and constrained. "Professor Langton, I—I—I won't be able to meet you tonight." "Why, Madge, my Miss Walton," he said, looking in vain for her usual smile. "Of course you will. It's all planned. I can't let you off." He looked intently into her face to discover the cause of her sudden change of heart. "What do you mean?" he demanded. She avoided his glance. "I—I hoped you would understand," she said. "I can't explain." Professor Langton would have insisted upon a more complete explanation had it not been for the inevitable approach of other members of the class—that ever-present class. He stumbled through his lecture somehow, experiencing all the tortures of uncertainty. When he had finished and had entered the sanctum of his inner laboratory he felt as if he had endured years of aging. "I hoped you would understand," she had told him. "I can't explain." He recalled the words and saw again the look of anxiety on her face. Yes; she understood how he felt and only wanted to save his feelings. Then the vision of her as he had last seen her came to his mind. She had left the room with two of those tall, overbearing, all-important seniors. Just how he did not understand, but somehow, he was sure, those seniors were responsible for the change. She had been with them continually, he remembered. They were making her another of that self-sufficient, tiresome type of college girl. And yet there came back the certainty again and again that Madge really and truly liked him. When the afternoon had dragged away and the monotony of dinner he thought of the tickets in his pocket and was inclined at first to invite a fellow professor to share the evening's entertainment with him, but the thought of going without her was impossible. So it was that Burk sought consolation in the laboratory, to go on with an important experiment, and try to work himself into a state of scientific indifference. It was about 7:30 when he reached the building. It was, as usual, closed for the day, but with the use of his latch key he gained admission. He groped his way through the main hall, up the stairway, along the corridor toward ```markdown ``` the laboratory. Suddenly he stopped short. "Great heavens!" he said aloud, and then a sickening dread came upon him as he realized that he had stumbled in the dark upon something soft and human. In the deep shadow he could see the graceful figure of a girl, covered with black, lying motionless upon the stone floor. "It's one of those poor, overworked students who's fainted from fatigue," he thought with a touch of annoyance as he bent down over her, and then realized that students couldn't be in the building at this time of night, as their work there was over at sundown. To call for assistance was useless, as there was no one within call of his voice. He hurriedly lifted the limp form in his arms and carried it up the stairs into the laboratory. There he laid it down on the floor while he reached to snap on the electric lights. It was Madge—Madge enveloped in an academic gown, with a black cloth drawn over her eyes. Almost faint with dread, he felt her pulse and listened for her breathing. Everything was perfectly normal, but still he could not rouse her. In a second he had the bandage from her eyes and was throwing water into her face, when he perceived a faint smile. Still her eyes were closed and she was apparently unconscious. "Madge! Madge!" he said in a voice that did not sound like his own. "Don't you hear me?" As he clasped her hands frantically in his he recalled having heard of all sorts of curious manias brought on by over work, and yet he had never thought of Madge as having studied much. Certainly she didn't spend much thought on chemistry. He hurriedly reached to his experiment table for some strong ammonia in the last hope of rousing her. He put the uncorked bottle before her and watched her anxiously. In a second she had opened her eyes, sat up and pushed the bottle from her, and then as she saw the anxious face before her, a look of mystification came over her. "Why, why, where am I?" she asked, rubbing her eyes and looking about in alarm. "My, but that's strong. I just couldn't keep still another minute." "It's all right, Madge, little girl," said the professor, lifting her to a chair. "You'll feel better in a little while." Then he stood anxiously over her, looking down into her flushed face. It was a good many minutes before things were straightened out; before the professor realized that Madge was undergoing the preliminary stages of her initiation to a secret society when he encountered her in the hall, and that she had been commanded by her initiators to lie perfectly quiet with her eyes closed no matter what occurred, and before Madge realized that the professor wasn't in some way taking part in the foolish performance. "And why didn't you tell me why you couldn't keep your date with me?" he asked. "Because it was all a solemn secret about the initiation and we were commanded not to tell," she said simply. "It's such an honor to be asked to join that no one ever thinks of objecting even if they do have to break their engagements. I thought you would understand when I told you." The professor was sitting on his desk looking curiously at the girl who had been taken from him and now had been strangely brought back again. "See here, Madge," he said, looking at his watch. "We'll only miss the first act if you go with me now. Do you want to or would you rather go back to and join that fool society?" "I think," said Madge, "I would rather go with you." This time the professor understood. A. Japanese Judge. The Japanese have promoted the religious as well as the material interests of the Koreans not only by the large library allowed to the several hundred missionaries now engaged in work in that country, but also because of the appointment of Judge Watanabe, one of the most active and influential Christians in Japan, to the head of the Korean judiciary. This Presbyterian elder and ex-president of the Yokohama Young Men's Christian association used the following words on assuming office. "I go to Korea not merely to interpret and administer the law, but that I may be a witness for Christ."—The Outlook. ```markdown ``` STRIKE GROWS; FAMINE HOVERS PARIS IS AGAIN THREATENED WITH A DISASTROUS TIE UP. MILITARY FORCES CALLED OUT 88,000 Employes of French Railroads Have Quit Work and Movement May Spread to Other Lines. Paris, France.—The French government is again facing a serious strike situation. The employees of the Northern railroad went out on strike, and later the strike spread to the Western railroad, which is owned by the state. Indications are that a complete tie-up in northern and western France will be the result. The strike at the present time involves about 80,000 men. The strike on the western road was voted by 8,000 men employed in Paris and suburbs. They count upon the national unions to tie up the provinces. It is said that the movement may possibly also extend to the Eastern and the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean railroads. As is usual under such circumstances the city of Paris is threatened with a severe scarcity of food supplies. Freight, mail and passenger transportation are partly prostrated, and the vast army of working people on the northwest quarter are unable to reach their places of business. Military engineers are taking the places of the strikers, and the troops are guarding various stations and important sections of the roads. Large military forces were hastily distributed on the first evidence that a strike had been declared, and additional troops were ordered out later. The government has decided upon an important step in an attempt to break the strike on the Northern railroad. The official journal publishes a decree calling for the colors of about 30,000 employees of the Northern railroad. This immediately subjects the men to military discipline. The officials of the Northern railroad have issued a statement that the wages of the employees were increased 3,500,000 francs during the year 1909-10, and that the increased cost of operation and the increased burdens imposed by parliament made it impossible to meet the demands of the men. LOSS IN REVOLT SLIGHT. Official Estimates Place Casualties in Portugal at About 150. Lisbon, Portugal.—Although the city remains under martial law pending a re-organization of the administration, the soldiers have been gradually withdrawn from the streets. The people have resumed their occupations and perfect tranquility prevails. Several churches were re-opened. Guards have been supplied to those establishments of religious disorders which are still flying foreign flags, to prevent possible attacks. The papal nunvilo, Monsignor Tonti, has hoisted the Austrian flag over his residence at Cintra, but there was no sign of hostile demonstrations.

Hardy Settlers Ready to Begin Life Anew Bandette, Minn.—Unmindful of the toil of years lost in the great fires that have swept this section, the hardy ploneers of the northwest are planning to begin anew their task of home building. All day long the various relief committees were at work helping the destitute to get a new start. Temporary wants were immediately supplied and encouragement given to all, though encouragement was scarcely necessary, as there was not a disheartened one among those who applied for relief. One more body was found, bringing the total of the known deaths to 29. Paul Morick, a musician of Rainy river was found on the banks of the Upper Rapid river. He had been hunting with two companions. None of the others have been found. Already plans have been laid for a new and better Baudette and a better Spooner. Calls Diaz a Dictator. San Antonio, Tex.-Francisco Madero, anti-re-electionist candidate for the presidency of Mexico against President Diaz in the recent elections, who escaped into this country, has assumed the leadership of his party here. In a manifesto issued recently, he canstantly arraigned President Diaz as a dictator. The recent election, the manifesto states, was enforced at the points of bayonets, and only after many of President Diaz's opponents had been driven from the country, or imprisoned.

Winnipeg, Manitoba.— Eight hun dred persons have lost their lives in the great American-Canadian forest fires, nearly 200 bodies have been re- covered, 5,000 are homeless; 2,000 are missing and the property loss is est!- mated at $100,000,000. The population of the area burned over was 12,000. Towns and villages burned: Beau- dette, Spooner, Roosevelt, Longworth, Swift, Pitt, Zipple Solol, Cedar Spur, Gravel Pit Spur, Graceton, Engle. Karly burned and burning: Rainy River, Warraoad, Sprague, Internation al Falls, Pinewood. In danger: Stratton, Fort Francis.

The men say they will die in trying to save the towa. it burst into flames simply from the terrific heat. No sooner ts the out- break in one place put out than others spring forth. The charred fringe around the outskirts of the town on the sides facing the walls of raging flames stands in mute but terrible testimony to the narrow escape Rainy River had from sharing in the fate of five cities that had been consumed. Hardly’ less pitiful than the state of the people is the plight of the animals. Cattle and horses, set loose by their owners, raced wildly about the edge of the fire. Then they plunged into the deep and wide Rainy river and swam across. With them were hundreds of deer, caribou, moose, bears, timber wolves and wild cats. Fear had quinched their natural hostility and when exhausted by their flight all lay down together. NO MORE INDIAN TRIBES Secretary Ballinger Told Congress They Must Accept Citizenship— Unallotted Land to be Sold. Muskigee, Oklahoma, — Addressing 18 tribes of Indians assembled here for the Indian congress, Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior said that he believed the day had come when tribal relations should cease and the Ind‘an take his lace by the side of the white man in the obli- gations and privileges of citizenship. He also made the statement that he did not believe after the government had made an Indian a citizen of the United States that it should continue to exercise the relation of a guardian. Mr. Ballinger said that the unal- Jotted lands will be sold at once and that it will be at public auction. There are nearly 2,000,000 acres of these lands.

This amount is $100 a day for each company for 554 days since April 2, 1909, when the law went into effect. The suits are brought against the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, the parent company; the Standard Oil company of Indiana, the refining and selling agency; the Standard Oil company of Kansas, the producing company, and the Prairie Oil and Gas company, the transportation, part of the big company in Kansas. It is charged that the three companies and the New Jersey corporation have an agreement as to the prices to be paid for oil and the prices at which kero- sene and gasoline are to be sold and that there 1s no competion between any of the companies doing business in this state.

FOREST FIRES SWEEP BORDER Rainy River Country the Scene of Death and Destruction—Velocity 50 Miles an Hour. Rainy River Ont—The wind has swept a sea of fire eastward on tho south side of the Rainy river at a velocity of 50 miles an hour and the great body of flames has passed this section revealing a calamity that already reaches the proportions of an international disaster. Sixty black- ened corpses have been found in the path of the flames and a vast area is yet to be searched for dead, while the towns of Spooner, Beaudette and Pitt have been totally destroyed, with a property loss that cannot be intelli- gently calculated at present. ‘The missing include some 2,000 resi- dents of Beaudette, Spooner and Pitt, some of whom are dead but the most of whom are safe in Rainy River and the adjacent towns on the Canadian side of the line, The most serious aspect of the missing includes the homesteaders and farmers in , the bush for a distance of 100 miles east and 20 miles south, of whom abso- lutely nothing can be learned for some time, as searching parties do not dare penetrate the still smoking forests through which the cyclone of ‘Gre has swept. ; ‘THE REPUBLIC OF PORTUGAL The New Government is an Estab- lish Fact—Lisbon is Serenely Quiet.

STANDARD CUTS OIL o Reductions Made in Europe and the Far East in Campaign to In- | crease Use of Kerosene. New York.—J. I. C. Clarke, through whom the Standard Oil company makes its official announcements to the public, has issued a statement to the effect that the company has en: tered on a thoroughly mapped out campaign to increase the consumption of kerosene in European countries and the lands of the Orient. The first move in this campaign is the reduc: tion of the prices of oll in those coun tries, Mr. Clarke's announcement says In part: “The Standard Ol company has in augurated a campaign to increase the world’s consumption of refined oil, ‘The level of prices for refined oil to day in the United States is lower than at any time during recent years, and as a direct result of these prices the consumption of refined ofl in this country is increasing. The same pol icy is now being actively pursued abroad.” As indicated by this statement, the Standard company begam trying ‘out the policy of lower prices in the United States, though without an nouncing that it had in view a cam paign that would cover the world. In August the price of refined oil in tanks was reduced from 6% to 5% cents a gallon, and the price of re fined oll in barrels at the refinery was cut 1 cent, from 9% to 8% cents a gallon. - A $50,000 PRIZE FOR AVIATORS Must Fly Across American Continent In 30 Days—Offer Made by W.

Managing a Husband. Men are like children; they want managing, although you must never ask them dream that you think so. No child likes to be ordered about, no man will endure coercion. But managing? It is an art so subtle, so elusive, that few women understand even the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let us reason together, says Woman's life. In every human being there is spark of the divine; it is yours to show that spark into a flame—that is managing a man—it is to get the very out of him there is to have, and out of two women in ten can do it. Do not think that there is anything worthy in managing a man—to bring out the best is a high vocation. Only let us see to it that we are worthy of it. There are women who were made angels of men, but at the cost of their own divinity. There is room for more than one unselfish person in a family. DAME NATURE HINTS When the Food is Not Sulted. When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong it is generally with the food. The old Dame is always faithful and one should act at the door. To put off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Arizona man says: For years I could not safely eat any breakfast. I tried various kinds of breakfast food, but they were all soft, messy meats which gave me dismaying headaches. I drank strong coffee, too, which appeared to benefit at the time, but added to the headaches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better, for I found the toast very constipating. A friend persuaded me to quit the coffee and use the starchy breakfast coffee and use Postum and Grape-Nuts instead. I shall never regret taking the advice. I began using them three years ago. the change they have worked in in a wonderful. I now have no more the distressing sensations in my mouth after eating, and I never haveaches.

SANTO DOMINGO FILIPINO CITY UNLIKE ANY OTHER IN ISLANDS. Buildings of Stone and Streets Walled and Paved-Native Women Lift Their Cogon Grass Hats In Salutation. The capital of our northernmost province, Santo Domingo de Basco on the Island of Batanes, is an interesting place. The route of our transports lies a few hours steaming west of the group, passing between them and the Island of Formosa on their way to Nagasaki, yet comparatively few Americans have visited this group of islands," said Dr. Louis Ottofy, who has recently returned from this part of the archipelago. "Santo Domingo has a population of about 2,000, and is entirely different from any other town in the Philippines. In the first place, all the buildings are of stone and whitewashed. The roofs are made of cogon grass, closely trimmed so as to afford no purchase to the severe typhoons which sween over the islands. "The streets are about twelve feet wide, many of them paved with stone. Stone walls extend along both sides of the streets their full length, giving them the appearance of lanes. The walls are about three to five feet in height, broken at intervals for entrances to the yards, which in turn are separated from each other by stone walls. Most of the yards were clean and exceptionally neat and attractive. "The provincial building, presidencia, school house, church and the parochial school are all built of stone, neatly whitewashed, and the grass-covered plaza, fenced by a low stone wall, was the acme of neatness. "Unlike most Filipino towns, there were no pigs or goats at large; they are confined to walled-in sections below the level of the streets. I noticed but few dogs and they seemed to be well fed. There is not a single Chinaman in the town; in fact, for that matter not one on any of the islands among a population of about 8,000. There were but five white men there, the priest, who had been there for 27 years; the governor, who I was told is a Spaniard; two Spaniards who are cattle buyers, and one American connected with the bureau of public works. "There is not a single store on the town. The sole industry is the raising of cattle, which are called for by steamers from Aparri or Manila. When one of the steamers anchors there the cattle are paid for in cash, ranging from $15 to $40 a head. Some of the residents then take the steamer for the first port on the Island of Luzon, bring some onions and garlic with them and do the purchasing for themselves and their friends. "The women wear a peculiar headaddress made of cogon grass to protect them from the sun and rain and without one exception each one lifted it in salutation. For three months of the year the islands are typhoon-swept and no steamer can approach them, and at other times, though a regular mail service is now established, they are shut off from outside contact."—Manila Times. Children's Shoes Children are often made uncomfortable by being obliged to wear shoes that are either too large or too small. The mistake is made in buying. An experienced shoe man who had made children's shoes a special study advises that the child wear thick stockings when trying on shoes. In many cases the child will wear his "best" hose, which are thinner than those for every day, and then the new shoes will be a trifle too tight when worn with the thicker pair. Buy as good leather as you can afford, but it is not wise to buy the most expensive shoes, for the child may outgrow them. The shoe dealer above quoted says that a shoe with a wide, flat, low heel is better for a child than the heelless shoe, since children usually put the heel of the foot down heavily when walking. "each children to take care of their shoes. When the shoes have been wet they should be wiped dry, stuffed with paper to hold their shape, put in a warm place and rubbed with vaseline to keep the leather soft. Stage Fright. The curtain rose for the first act of "Thrilling Dangers," a three-act drama, which was about to be produced before a large audience in one of Manayunk's small theaters. "Now, Swift," said the stage manager to a keen and ardent young amateur, "it is your turn to go on the stage. All you have to say when the pistol is fired by the villain, is 'Hark, 'tis the pistol.' You have no other words at all. Now, my boy, do yourself proud." With these words from the stage manager "Swift" stalked toward the stage. Likewise, the villain entered. "Swift" stood in the wings petrified with stage fright. The sharp and constrained crash of a pistol shot smote upon his ears. "Good heavens!" he cried, rushing on the stage, "what's that?"

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN TROUBLE "I began to have an itching over my whole body about seven years ago and this settled in my limbs, from the knee to the toes. I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune,' and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there, I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I did not know what to do. I was so sick and had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope. "I had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when I noticed that, after having used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad if people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. I would only recommend them to use Cuticura.

WHY NEW ORLEANS WHY NEW ORLEANS CITY IS LOGICAL POINT FOR WORLD'S PANAMA EXPOSITION. Public sentiment has decided that the completion of the Panama Canal in 1915 shall be celebrated with a great International Exposition in which all the nations of the world may participate; and the question of where this Exposition is to be held will be settled by Congress at its approaching session. New Orleans and San Francisco are contesting for the honor of holding this Exposition, and both cities have guaranteed immense sums of money as an evidence of their ability to finance so great an enterprise. An Exposition worthy of the term "World's Fair," such as New Orleans proposes to build, will be a great educational movement. Its success as such, however, will depend entirely upon the percentage of our population who can secure its educational advantages, this in turn, depends upon its location, as the time in traveling to and from the Exposition, and the cost in railroad and Pullman fares, are the most important factors. Considering these matters, New Orleans' claims to being the "Logical Point" for this Panama Exposition, seem to be fully substantiated by the following facts:— New Orleans is 500 miles from the center of population in the United States. San Francisco is 2,500 miles distant therefrom. Within a radius of 500 miles from New Orleans there are 17,500,000 people. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 2,000,000. Within a radius of 1,000 miles from New Orleans, there are 65,000,000. Within the same radius from San Francisco there are only 6,000,000. At an average of 900 miles from New Orleans, there are 70 of our principal cities with a combined population of 20,000,000. Averaging 900 miles from San Francisco there are only 8 large cities, with a combined population of just 1,000,000. The average distance of all these cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,—to San Francisco 2,407 miles. Over 75 per cent. of the people of the United States could go to an Exposition there at an average expense for railroad fare of $12.50, as against an average of $37.50 to the Pacific Coast; and for several millions of our people, the Pullman fare and Dining Car expenses alone, for a trip to San Francisco, would amount to more than all their transportation expenses for a trip to New Orleans. This is an important public question to be settled by Congress at the session which convenes in December. Many of our readers will wish to visit this World's Panama Exposition, and if held in New Orleans a great many more could spare the time and money for the trip than could go to San Francisco. Therefore, we urge our readers to write to the two senators from this State and the congressman from this district, requesting them to support New Orleans in the contest.

INFLUENCE OF THE MOTHER Well to Remember That She Is Ever a Model of Behavior to the Children. It is hard for a young mother, who has not yet overcome the wayward tendencies of her own youthful nature, to realize the influence she exerts over her little one. She is constantly surrounded by critical imitators who copy her morals and manners. As the mother is, so are her sons and daughters. If a family of children are blessed with an intelligent mother, who is dainty and refined in her manner, and does not consider it necessary to be one woman in the drawing room and an entirely different person in her everyday life, but who is a true mother and always a tender, charming woman, she will invariably see her habits of speech and perfect manners repeated in her children. Great, rough men and noisy, busy boys will always tone down their voices and step quietly and try to be more mannerly when she stops to give them a kind word and a pleasant smile. For a true woman will never fail to say and do all the kind, pleasant things she can that will in any way help to lift up and cheer those whose lives are shaded with care and toll. The mother of today rules the world of tomorrow.' The average married man kicks because his wife worries because he doesn't get home right on time, but suppose she didn't care whether he ever came or not? One genius is about all the average family can afford. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL-3 PER CENT Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

AGENTS WANTED. UNTRUE STATEMENT. Wichita, Kansas, Oct. 12th, 1910. To the Public: I wish to correct a mistake and wilful falsehood that a certain woman in our city and a certain man put in circulation to the effect that I have had trouble with every minister who has come to St. Paul A. M. E. church for eighteen years. Such a statement is untrue in every particular and false from start to finish and the parties who so maliciously started this rumor know that it is untrue. I have never had trouble of any nature with any preacher in my life and neither have I ever caused any trouble. As to my record in my church with its pastors I can refer to such people as Mr. John T. Chinneth, Mr. Jesse Crouch, Mr. M. J. Dancy, my class leader, Mrs. Jas. L. Harper and her sister, Mrs. Stella Patton, who have known me for the past 27 years. It is simply awful that professed Christians should attempt to stir up enmity with a bold falsehood. In some of these matters they were brought up in a lodge room where the woman and man referred to belong and which I do not and thus I had no way to refute their false statement and take this as my only way to set my side clear. In their over anxiety to besmirch me these false and malicious tattlers said specifically that I had had trouble with Rev. N. C. Buren, formerly pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church. This is also absolutely false as the following letter from Rev. N. C. Buren will show: EXPLAINS ITSELF. Sedalia, Mo., Oct. 10th, 1910. To whom this may concern: This comes to say that I am in receipt of information that Mrs. Emma Jones, a member of St. Paul A. M. E. church, of Wichita, Kansas, is said to have had a misunderstandin while I was pastor of the A. M. E. church in that city. I hereby declare any and all such statements as absolutely false and without foundation. During my administration of two years, as pastor of the A. M. E. church in that city no member was more dutiful or treated me with more courtesy than did Sister Jones. So far as her treatment to me is concerned I can say truthfully it was of the best. Trusting this will be sufficient to put an end to suc false statements and that she had no trouble in the church whatever, but was a faithful member of the church at this time. Yours sincerely, N. C. BUREN. This letter is for the purpose of putting a peacable end to these malicious, false and wilful untruths. The woman in the case ought to have her hands full to attend to her own affairs and ought to be a peacemaker instead of a fuss maker; as to the man, he should be above joining in such false statements against a woman.

Quindaro, Kans., Sept. 26, 1910. To the Newspaper Fraternity, Greetings: the W. N. P. A., will convene at Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 25-26, 1910. We are desirous of having, if possible, every Negro Journal published within the bounds of the western half of the country, send a representative to participate in the deliberations of the session, and make it the most enthusiastic and profitable meeting ever held. There are now before the American people, and particularly the Negros, many momentious questions which vitally concern the civil, moral and political, present and future of our race, and our press being the mouthpiece and moulder of public thought and sentiment, should be in unison and accord on all such questions. The Western Negro Press Association is a medium thru which a happy solution and analysis of the race's advancement, civil and legal rights may be agreed upon, and serve a field of usefulness that no other organization can possibly serve. It has, in its history of fourteen years, in several instances of great public and national problems, demonstrated its power and influence: It is composed of men and women who have made a record for race loyalty, progress and attainment; who are alive and wide awake to the needs of the race.
