With the Republican party, with whom the colored voters have always been allied, divided into two separate and distinct bodies—the "stand-patters" and the "progressives"—each clamoring for the colored man and each laying claims of being the party of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley—it is a very peculiar and perplexing situation which the colored men must solve for themselves. The colored men have always been more loyal to the Republican party than any other members of that party and in this case there is no exception. With all these divisions in the ranks of the white Republicans, it seemed for a time that there was no hope, no incentive to hold the colored voters to that party, but as time passes and as events shape themselves, it is evident that the colored men can ill afford to lend their aid to Democratic success. The situation, politically, as it really exists, has been looked at from every view point and the more the colored men analyze the situation from all angles, the more certain it comes to light, that the interests of every colored man, woman and child, can and will be better subserved by voting this year for the nominees of the Republican party. It is true and is bound to be admitted by all thinking men of affairs that the present-day Republican party has not done all that it should have done for its colored constituents—be that as it is—yet it is also true that the Democratic party of today—as of old—has always opposed and tried to hinder the Republicans in doing what that party has done for the colored people. All the discomforts, "Jim-Crowisms" and disfranchisements ever attempted at any place or at any time has been and is now the work of Democracy. While there are some good men, here --- and there in the Democratic party, still these men are powerless to come to the aid of the colored men politically—these men are Democrats and as such are subject to the dictates, the will and the action of a majority of their party—and for the colored men to go pell-mell into the ranks of their avowed enemy seeking false shelter would be worse than suicidal. We know that there has been and possibly are now, men and measures in the Republican party which do not hold out any hope to the colored men, but shall the race permit itself to be led to political slaughter on account of these men and measures when the other party holds out to them only, "ostracism," "Jim Crow," and disfranchising measures? We hope not. We are aware, and every colored man should take note—that Democratic statesmen, Democratic politicians and their henchmen are loud and very positive in placing before the colored men what the Republican party SHOULD HAVE DONE for the colored voters, but how many of these same Democratic statesmen politicians or their henchmen take the time to narrate what the Democratic party HAS REFUSED to do for the colored men and how strenuously that same Democratic party has worked night and day to prevent the Republicans from doing what the Republicans did do for the colored men and their race? On this score the Democratic party maintains a characteristic silence. In Kansas the Democrats would point you to the opportunities limitedly extended to the colored people of this state—but the history of Kansas will show that the Democrats have no praise to take to themselves for this condition. We have ample proof of what Democratic rule means to the welfare of the colored people. Oklahoma presents the latest and most disgusting exhibition of Demo- cratic rule toward the colored people—and that this same rule does not exist in Kansas is not the fault of the Democratic party of this State—but it is simply because Kansas has almost continuously since its birth been under Republican rule. There is not a state in this Union today where the Republican party has held sway for any considerable time where that state has such hideous, obnoxious and un-American disfranchisement. "Jim Crow," or depressing laws against colored people as are those found in Oklahoma after two years of Democratic rule. Who is it who can deny these brazen facts and who is it who would dare assert that the same conditions would not obtain in Kansas once that Democracy is firmly planted in this State? While the political situation, so far as the colored man is concerned, is not all it should be—however—there seems but one logical conclusion and that is, that the colored men can and will better subserve the best interests of themselves and the race by voting the Republican ticket and fighting with their friends inside the party to clean out those members of the party with Democratic proclivities who will not give the race a fair chance. The Democratic party has always opposed the progress of the colored people and have doggedly hounded every forward movement of the race and on the other hand has used every contrivance and every energy to retard the program of the colored race. To join with them now would simply be putting a rope about our own necks for the Democrats to pull to swing us into'eternal oblivion. Let the race sturdy itself—meet these issues fairly—and squarely—and remember that it is a "a condition and not a theory" that confronts us. And this condition makes it our duty to vote for the Republican party believing that by doing so a greater good will be accomplished for a greater number of our race. NAPIER TO BE REGISTRAR. Vernon Resigns and Will Quit Office Hon. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., is to be the next registrar of the treasury, according to recent press reports. Mr. Napier will succeed Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, who has resigned. The new appointee is well known, and is considered one of the most substantial business men in the race. He is to assume the duties of his new office February 1st, 1911.. Mr. Vernon will in all probability engage in educational work in which he was before coming to Washington. OCTOBER 22, 1910. Ex-County Auditor, N. E. Harmon, now State Commander of the G. A. R., says; CHAS. D. FAZEL, IS WORTHY and well qualified to fill the office CLERK of DISTRICT COURT " To the Public: I have known Mr. Chas. D. Fazel, candidate on the republican ticket for Clerk of the District Court, for many years. While I served as County Auditor, Mr. Fazel was Court Steenographer, and we were thus somewhat closely associated together. I have also known personally of his work in the organizing and building up of the College Hill Methodist church and Sunday School. From my personal acquaintance with Mr. Fazel, I can say, that I believe him well qualified to fill the office of Clerk of the District Court. He is the son of a soldier of the Union Army, and is worthy of the loyal support of the citizens of Sedgwick county. No mistake will be made in voting for him as he is worthy and well qualified. Sincerely Yours, N. E. HARMON" "He is splendidly qualified to fill any position to which he aspires. Very Tauly THOS. C. WILSON " O. W. JONES. Right Man for County Treasurer. If the people of Sedgwick County want a man for their County Treasurer who has demonstrated to them that he is a faithful officer, that he has all the qualifications to fill the office, that he is competent in every way—then the people of Sedgwick County will re-elect O. W. Jones, as their County Treasurer for a second term, which he merits on his splendid record for the past two years. That it is utterly impossible to find a man in our county, or in our state, for that matter, who is better fitted for the office of County Treasurer than O. W. Jones is admitted by everyone—even those who now oppose Mr. Jones admit these facts. Then why and for what reasons are there for a change? For two years O. W. Jones has had the custody of the thousands of dollars of Sedgwick County and has handled this large volume of finances in an economical, business-like manner and for efficiency, neatness of records and competency, he has made a record for himself of which any man might justly fell proud. He is amply justified in asking for re-election on the merits of his record. No man in public office has been more uniformly courteous and accommodating to the general public—to everyone—than has O. W. Jones and the people may justly feel somewhat of a personal pride in going to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8th, and voting unanimously for O. W. Jones for County Treasurer. He is worthy of your fullest confidence. of Vote for Jesse D. Wall for probate lr. judge. ge as BE SURE TO REGISTER IF YOU WANT TO VOTE!!! Has Made Good THE WORLD'S FIRST BLACK WOMAN J. H. SAYLES Mr. John H. Sayles, who has won for himself great praise and credit for having secured an engagement with Madame Brown, who sang at Garfield Hall, Wednesday night, is a comparatively young man, and is also a comparatively new man in our city. Mr. Sayles has not been in Wichita quite two years, but since coming here he has proven that he is a wide-awake, hustling young man. On his arrival he was almost out of money, a stranger in a strange town—and absolutely without a wife. He was full of hope and was a trained, expert, fancy cook and caterer who had traveled all over America, but reaching Wichita he liked "the looks of the town," as he has often said since, and decided to settle down in this city. Since that time here are a few of the things which he has done. He has secured a good job having charge of the Wichita Country Club. Has made some money—and saved it. Has taken unto himself one of Wichita's most accomplished daughters for his wife—and they are making good. Has joined the Masonic lodge, has joined the consistory and the Shriners. Has purchased some valuable Wichita property. Has established himself as one of the real fixtures of our city. Has voluntarily presented to the Masonic lodge $65 worth of chairs for their new building. He has the distinction of having given the first swell entertainment in the new Masonic hall, when he entertained about 108 guests there in honor of his new sister-in-law, Mrs, and Hustling Colored Men James Hill of Kansas City. He is pleasant and agreeable and has a host of warm friends. He is the kind of young man of whom any city or people can justly feel proud. JUDGE JESSE D. WALL FOR PRO BATE JUDGE. The office of Probate Judge is one of the most important offices in our county. The Probate Judge has in his charge the marriage records, the record of deaths, the handling and settling up of estates of deceased persons, the oversight of the Juvenile Court, which deals with the young incorrigibles, both boys and girls. To fill the office of Probate Judge successfully requires a man with all the ability to do this work with satisfaction. The Republican Candidate for that office, Judge Jesse D. Wall, has every qualification to fit him for that place. He is conceded to be one of the leading members of the Sedgwick County bar. His experience on the Police Court bench of this city furnished him with an insight into the work of Juvenile administration. He is energetic, safe and reliable and will make a Probate Judge of ability. Vote for Judge Jesse D. Wall, for Probate Judge. The Mother's Aid club will meet with Mrs. P. Johnson, 908 N.

Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is without doubt the highest authority on all these subjects. All inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 194 Fifth Ave., Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. To one who desires a very artistic and attractive house, yet one of simple and unpretentious appearance, the design illustrated herewith will appeal strongly. It would be hard to design a more home-like appearing cottage. It possesses all the elements at their best which have made present-day American home architecture world famous. It is a story and a half cottage of almost square outline, being 30 feet in width and 40 feet 6 inches long. The feature which one notices first is the porch recessed back under the main roof. In fact, part of the second floor is over this porch. With this kind of an arrangement there is nothing to disturb the unity of the architectural composition. The porch is an intimate part of the structure, not something merely "tacked on" as seems so often to be the case. A heavy double pillar at the corner supports the roof. This cottage is designed in the spirit of the Swiss chalets. The low, simple roof with wide extending cornice, the second story projecting slightly beyond the first, the supporting brackets and exposed rafters are all characteristic of this style. The outside finish is also in harmony with it and presents an extremely artistic 2 appearance. Rough cypress boards 12 inches wide and separated by horizontal batten strips extend from the grade to the lower window sills, forming a foundation course. Above, ordinary bevel siding is used up to the corneife line, where the heavy supporting beams are exposed to view. The bevel siding is continued again in the gable ends, or shingles may be used there if desired. A beautiful effect is had with this bungalow by applying dark brown creosote stain to both rough boards and siding and trimming with yellow paint. This trimming color might be PORCH KITCHEN 11'0"X10'0" BED RM. 12'0"X10'0" RANTRY 7'6"X4'9" CLA.

In either case, moss green stain for the stained roof would be very appropriate and attractive. The interior of this dwelling makes good the promise of the exterior. You would expect to find such a compact appearing little cottage as this to be the acme of coziness within; and so it is in this case. Opening from the end of the porch is a reception hall quite different from the ordinary. It is 12 by 8 feet in size and is partially divided through the middle by an attractive square arched opening with two wood columns. This gives a certain privacy to the part of this room away from the entrance door, shutting it off quite effectually from the living room. The living room is 15 feet by 13 feet 3 inches in size. The broad cased opening connects it on the left with the dining room of almost exactly the same dimensions. These two rooms are naturally used together and will be found to be very comfortable and homelike. Directly back of the dining room is the kitchen, connecting with it by means of the butter's pantry. A door off the living room opens into a small rear hall. A bedroom of good size opens from this, aa does also the bathroom and a large clothes closet.

The arrangement in this case is most successful in this regard. From this ball the stairway goes up THE BARN to the second floor. It is rather surprising to find three such large, well-lighted rooms on the second floor of a small story-and-a-half cottage of this design. By the addition of a low, broad dormer window on the side a large bedroom in the middle is nicely lighted. A similar gable on the other side lights the stair hall and bathroom. The two other bedrooms are located one in each of the gable ends. A very artistic touch is gained in the flower boxes outside of all the windows on the second floor. The artistic possibilities of these boxes filled with brightly colored flowers and green leafed plants may easily be imarried. This house should be finished with plain sawed red oak on the first floor, using the square corner mission style mouldings with natural wood stains. The second floor would be well, finished in birch, using mahogany and white enamel for the color scheme. The estimated cost of this seven-room story and a half cottage, using high grade materials and with cemented basement under the entire structure, is about $3,000. Diary Told of Deaths. A grim diary was revealed to searchers amongst the ruins of Messina, who have brought to light the bodies of five people, members of one family, named Arrigo. Beside them was a diary, which tells how the unfortunate individuals spent 50 days after the earthquake entombed amongst the ruins of their home. They lived on salt bread and dried fish, which they found in the larder, washing the unpalatable meals down with wine, which they were also fortunate enough to find. The writer of the diary, a son of the family, who was a college student, outlived the others, and the diary closes with phrases which show that at length he had to lay aside his writing and awaitt the end with what fortitude he could muster. The Ready Informer. Booth Tarkington, the novelist, was being driven with a party of friends through the Yellowstone park by an old Irishman. They passed a drainage ditch which was carried across the road by means of a square, wooden, boxlike pipe, known technically as a flume. Tarkington could not recall at the moment the word "flume," and he asked the Irishman what the boxlike pipe was. "That?" said the driver. "Why, son, that's a fish trap." GATHERED SMILES "Did the census man that called at your house ask you any impertinent questions, Mrs. Crossway?" inquired her neighbor. "O. no. I suppose he asked only the questions he had to ask. Yet he was extremely rude." "In what way?" "In this way, Mrs. Kawler," said Mrs. Crossway, with flashing eyes: "It had answered all his questions without making the slightest objection, and then—you know those Merdle people who live next door and how deceiving they are? Well, I thought he ought to know the truth about them, and I started to tell him the real ages of the women. He stopped me in the rudest and most uncivil manner, and said he'd thank me to attend to my own affairs; he didn't need any assistance!" Couldn't Lose Him. An Irishman one day bought a pistol and took to the road. A little way on he met a traveler. "Your money or your life," said Pat. "I'll tell you what," said the other. "I'll give you all my money for that pistol." "Agreed," said Pat. And they exchanged. "Now," said the traveler, "hand back that money or I'll shoot!" "Blaze away, my heart," said Pat, "not a bit of powder be there in it."—Jester. WOULD HE GO? الدينار He—Aren't you going to kiss me before I go? She—And will you surely go then?

Who cares for your sadness of soul, poet? Your chronic anguish of heart? If your liver is wrong, keep it out of your song: Bile's bile—it can never be art. If you have any story to tell, poet— A message of love, or of cheer; If it's something worth while that will bring us a smile. bring us a shine; Or force out an honest tear— Why, scribble with all your might, poet, We'll read it, and laugh and cry; But keep out of sight, if you can, when you write, That wearying "I—I—I!" If a painter should spend all his time, poet, Depicting his own sad face; Or a sculptor should cut never anything but His own figure's doubtful grace: You'd say it was hard to believe, poet, that folly like that exists.

The smart angler from the city thought he would have some sport with the weather-beaten native by asking him a few nonsensical questions. "And why is it that the fish bite better when it is raining?" queried the city man. "That's easy to answer, sir," responded the old man, solemnly. "You see, when it is raining the trout stay under water because they are afraid to come to the surface and nibble the floating insects." "And why are they afraid to come to the surface?" "Why, they are afraid of getting wet, sir. Would you mind passing the tobacco?" Describing the Barber Attles—What kind of a barber is that new man on the corner?

KEEP THE CLOSETS CLEAN Point of Importance That Is Too Frequently Overlooked by the Busy Housewife. Usually there are about the house closets so dark that except at the yearly or semi-yearly housecleaning it is impossible to tell whether or not they are dirty. They are breeders of disease, even in the best-managed households, for no maid and few mistresses will crawl into the dark hole under the stairs or back in the kitchen after perfectly invisible dust. One solution of the problem is to paint these closets white, ceiling, floor and walls. It is easy enough to see dirt then, and the other and more useful contents of the closet as well. If one can keep the hall closet clean and find the family overshoe on sight, simply by painting the closet white, then by all means let us hasten to the paint shop and remove the obsolete and horrible wall paper that usually incumbers these germ hotels. If the closet is still dark after this treatment try cleaning with the aid of the electric flash light. There is no danger of fire and corners can be closely investigated. All of which is an advantage to the housewife who does not love dirt and disorder. But always, when cleaning day comes, consider first the closets and, most important of all of these is the sloping, dark, neglected closet under the stairs. TWO FINE TART SIDE DISHES Especially Good to Serve With Game or Roast Meats—Aids to the Appetite. Sweet Pickled Apples.—A delicious pickle is this, made from sweet apples. Cut in halves through the stem, leaving the core in and the skin on. Put three cloves in each half as in pickling peaches, then make a sirup, allowing for every six pounds of apples three pounds of sugar and a pint of vinegar. Add a few cassia buds or pieces of stick cinnamon, put the fruit in and cook the sirup a little longer until thickened and pour over the fruit. Grape Relish—Pick from the stems seven pounds of grapes, rather under ripe, and separate the pulp from the skins. Put the skins in a preserving kettle over the fire, with just enough water to prevent their burning. Place the pulp in another kettle and cook until the seeds loosen. Press through a sieve and add to the skins with a half pint of vinegar, three pounds of sugar and a teaspoonful each cloves, allspice and cinnamon. Boil until thick. This is fine to serve with game or roast meats. TQ TIE CORK IN BOTTLE First make a loop in a piece of strong twine and pass both ends through at B and A. Place the loop over the neck of the bottle and draw it snugly at A and tie in a hard knot at B, when there will be a string on both sides of the bottle to tie firmly over the cork, also a handy loop to handle the bottle with.

Parboil an egg plant, remove all the seeds and mash it. Stir in three tablespoonfuls of flour, one minced onion, an egg and salt and pepper to taste. Beat to the consistency of pancake batter, drop from a large iron spoon into hot boiling fat and fry brown. Cracker Pie. Pour boiling water over four or five crackers and let soak. Press out the water and pour in juice of a lemon, with teacup of sugar. Pour in puff paste and bake. Use Paraffin Twice. Paraffin can be used the second time to cover jelly and jam if it is washed clean and boiled before being turned over the fruit again.

History of Red Cross Seal "Charity stamps," first used in Boston in 1862 for the soldiers' relief funds during the Civil war, were the original forerunners of the Red Cross Christmas seal, which will be used this year to bring happiness and cheer to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis society in 1907 for the first time in America made use of a stamp for the purpose of getting revenue to fight consumption. In a hastily organized campaign of only three weeks they realized $3,000. The next year, 1908, the American Red Cross conducted the first national tuberculosis stamp campaign. From this sale $135,000 was realized for the anti-tuberculosis movement. In 1909, under many adverse conditions, $250,000 was realized from these stamps. This year the elogan of the tuberculosis fighters and the Red Cross is "A Million for Tuberculosis From Red Cross Seals in 1910."

"All my life I have been such a slave to coffee that the very aroma of it was enough to set my nerves quivering. I kept gradually losing my health but I used to say 'Nonsense, it don't hurt me.' "Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my whole nervous force was shattered. "My heart became weak and uncertain in its action and that frightened me. Finally my physician told me, about a year ago, that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. "I was in despair, for the very thought of the medicines I had tried so many times nauseated me. I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the coffee. "Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions, and what a delicious, nourishing, rich drink it was! Do you know I found it very easy to shift from coffee to Postum and not mind the change at all? "Almost immediately after I made the change I found myself better, and as the days went by I kept on improving. My nerves grew sound and steady, I slept well and felt strong and well-balanced all the time. "Now I am completely cured, with the old nervousness and sickness all gone. In every way I am well once more." It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison, for health is the greatest fortune one can have.

Consul to Pango By GERALD PRIME Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press LE SAM'S WEST MARINE THE DOUBLE PERISCOPE ON THE SALMON UNCLE SAM'S NEWEST SUBMARINE, THE SALMON UNCLE SAM NEWEST SUBMARINE NCLE SAM'S newest and most interesting submarine boat, the Salmon, is an object of international interest just now and is hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as the most remarkable submarine boat in the world. This fame is due U to the Salmon's recent record-breaking cruise from the Atlantic coast to Bermuda and return—a deep-sea voyage such as has had no parallel in the history of under-water craft. The cruise to Bermuda was not only the first cruise by a submarine to a foreign port or out of sight of land, but it was the longest virtually continuous run ever attempted by such a vessel. The total distance covered aggregated nearly 1,700 miles and, as it happened, the little vessel encountered very rough weather during a considerable part of the trip. Not only did this nautical excursion establish a new record for vessels of the American navy, but it surpassed all foreign achievements. The best performances previously recorded by American vessels of this type was found in the run of the submarine Viper from Cape Lookout to Annapolis, Md., a distance of about 483 knots, and the cruise of a flotilla of submarines from New York to Annapolis, a distance of 385 knots. Among the foreign performances of such vessels there stands out the record of OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF RECORD- BREAKING CRUISE English submarines of about the same size as the Salmon, which made the coastwise run from Dover to Dundee, a distance of 512 miles, and the famous performance of the French submarine Papin, which on one occasion made a cruise of 1,200 miles. However, this French achievement is overshadowed by the Salmon's cruise because not only was the distance of the latter much greater, but it was an open sea performance, whereas the Papin cruised along the coast, and, finally, the French vessel is much larger than the new American record-breaker, the Papin being of 550 tons displacement, whereas the Salmon is of but 320 tons displacement. The Salmon, allike to most of the submarines which have lately been added to the United States navy, is a development of the original Holland type of submarine which first gave the Americans the lead in this class of shipbuilding. The Salmon is 135 feet in length by 14 feet beam and is a twin-screw boat, being driven on the surface by two gasoline engines of 300 horsepower each and propelled when submerged by electrical power supplied from storage batteries. Modern submarine boats are of two types, the submerged and the submeregible. The submerged when in light cruising condition moves with only a small percentage of the hull above the water; the submeregible cruises on the surface much like an ordinary torpedo boat, which it resembles externally. The difference in principle between the two types is slight, but in construction details it is very marked. The submerged boats are usually nearly cylindrical with pointed ends, the general shape being much like that of a Whitehead torpedo. Submergence is effected by admitting water to the ballast tanks or by means of inclined rudders, or both. Submergible boats have two hulls, one inside the other. The outer hull resembles closely that of the ordinary torpedo boat, but has as few projections as possible rising from the general outline, in order to present a smooth surface when submerged. Inside this there is a second hull of nearly circular cross-section and as large as the shape of the outer boat permits. To effect submergence water first admitted to the space between the hulls, and this brings the boat to the "awash" condition. Further submergence is effected by permitting the ballast tanks to fill. By way of fulfilling her mission of destruction the little vessel has four torpedo tubes equipped to fire the latest type of torpedo—that is, a torpedo 17 feet in length and 18 inches in diameter, having a radius of 4,000 yards and carrying an explosive charge of 200 pounds of guncotton. On her cruise to Bermuda the Salmon carried a crew of 21 men, but it was demonstrated on this cruise that under actual service conditions such a submarine can be operated, in so far as navigation is concerned, by five men—two on the bridge and three in the engine room. The Salmon is capable of a speed of 14 knots per hour when running awash or on the surface of the water and 12 knots per hour when running wholly submerged. Only three minutes is required to change from surface running by gasoline engines to submerged running by electrical power. The vessel has, on trial, dived to a depth of more than 200 feet without any sign of strain or leakage being manifest anywhere on her steel elgar-shaped body. A unique feature of the equipment of an up-to-date submarine such as the Salmon, is a double periscope whereby, when the vessel is wholly submerged the officers on board can observe all that is going on at the surface of the water. Electrical ranges are provided for cooking the meals of those on board, and there is a reserve supply of 4,800 cubic feet of air, contained in 8 tanks, so that if need be the vessel could be "sealed up" tight and remain under the surface of the water for one or two days and nights without those on board having any communication with the outside world or coming to the surface for fresh air. On the Salmon's Bermuda cruise there were on board, in addition to the officers of the American navy, Capt. Arture Cuevas of the Chilean navy, who went for the purpose of reporting to his government on the behavior of the vessel. When or by whom was built the first submarine boat will probably never be known. It is said that Alexander the Great was interested in submarine navigation, while subaqueous attacks of vessels was studied at least as early as the thirteenth or fourteenth century. M. Delpeuch states that some English ships were destroyed in 1872 by fire carried under water. In the early part of the seventeenth century submarine boats were numerous, and in 1624 Cornellus Van Drebbel exhibited to King James I. on the Thames a submarine boat of his own design. By 1727 no less than fourteen types of submarines had been patented in England alone. In 1774 Day began experiments with a submarine boat at Plymouth, England, losing his life in the second submergence trial. In the following year David Bushnell built his first boat, with which Sergeant Lee attacked H. M. S. Eagle in New York harbor. Lee actually got under the ship, --- When Adam Hazeltine came from college a full-fledged A. B. and the winner of a prize in oratory, he brought with him two well developed ambitions. One of these—perhaps the one most fondly cherished—was to make himself so essential to the future of Jessica Haight that she could not build an air castle that did not include him as an occupant. He believed that he had already made considerable progress toward the attainment of this premier ambition, and it inspired him with a robust determination to bring about the speedy realization of the other. That other was the inextinguishable desire to serve his country as American representative in some foreign port—to be appointed to some consulate on the long list beginning at London. This latter ambition was something he had acquired at college, where he had specialized with direct reference to a future connection with Uncle Sam's diplomatic and consular service. From the first his scheme to interest Jessica Haight in himself and his plans worked admirably. His campaign was so well ordered that she capitulated without going to the trouble of making even the conventional show of resistance. Although his easy victory did not come as a surprise, Adam was properly elated; it would enable him to devote his undivided attention to the promotion of his remaining aspiration. Besides, he had secured a very energetic ally in the young woman who had professed herself willing to follow him to the end of the world. Jessica's opportunity to become active in the matter came immediately. Judge Enoch Halget, her father, was the one man in New Thebes who could, if he would, exert a powerful influence in behalf of Adam's candidacy. Although the judge held no office, it was understood in New Thebes that, despite the changes brought about by civil service reform, he was still a power in the political world, quite enough so to land a consular appointment had he thus elected. He was not so minded. Jessica was brought to a sudden realization of the fact at her first attempt to make him a party to the pretty scheme which she and Adam had devised. She had spent a good deal of time in thinking up a diplomatic introduction to the business, but when the moment came she couldn't recall a word of it and came out bluntly with a request that something handsome in the consular line be done for Mr. Hazeltine. "Mr. Hazeltine!" he exclaimed, with amazement written all over his usually placid countenance. "What Hazeltine?" And then it occurred to the fair promoter that there were at least three families of that name within the limits of New Thebes. "Why, Adam, of course," she explained. "Why of course?" he asked, with no apparent modification of his astonishment. And now she recalled the fact that her father had been given no opportunity to become' wise as to the honor which Adam proposed to confer on him. It was a trying situation, but she was a young woman of courage and far too well acquainted with her father to stand in awe of him. "Oh, I supposed you were interested in him," she answered, with an excellent imitation of indifference, which did not deceive the judge for an instant. "You used to think him very bright, you know." "He's outgrown it," he returned grimly. "Very likely," she admitted placidly. "Still, he's spent years and years in preparing himself for the business, and I shouldn't think you'd like--like--" "Like what?" he interrupted impatiently. "Like interfering with his career," she said stoutly. Then, realizing the absurdity of her position, she laughed a little and paused to select a more vulnerable point of attack. "I should think you would be glad to do a small thing like this--for my sake, if for no other reason," she went on. "Jessica Haight," said her father, with the look of a man about to sentence one of his fellows to capital punishment. "I am a lawyer of average intelligence. I have never been accused of being lacking in the perceptive faculty, but if you will tell me what you are driving at I shall esteem it a personal favor." "I do not know why I should," she returned, with her head in the air, "since you don't seem inclined to do the slightest favor." The old man said no more, but brought his breakfast to an abrupt close and set out for his office. Even before he stepped into the street he exchanged his look of deep perplexity for one of keen and humorous appreciation. This became intensified as he covered the short distance between his house and his place of business, and by the time he reached the latter his smile was so expansive that the other half of the firm of Haight & Williams, who was the congressman from that district, looked up from his brief and de- and the attack failed only because the screw by which the torpedo was to be attached to the Eagle's bottom was not sharp enough. Robert Fulton's experiments in France and America (1795-1812) demonstrated that a vessel could be built which could descend to any given depth and reascent at will. Plunging mechanism was devised about the middle of the eighteenth century, but Fulton developed the vertical and horizontal rudders and provided for the artificial supply of air. A form of periscope existed in 1692 and an improved kind was patented in 1774; in 1854 Davy still further developed it. Phillips' wooden boat on Lake Erie was crushed by the THE U.S.S SALMON AT HER DOCK water pressure, and the same fate befall Bauer's iron boat Plongeur-Marin at Kiel in 1850. In 1863 McClintock and Howgate built a semi-submarine hand-propelled boat for the attack on the federal fleet, but it bask four times, each time drowning the entire crew of eight men. In the same year several larger boats propelled by engines were commenced in Europe, and these at intervals were followed by others designed by Hovgaard, Goubet, Zede, Nordenfeldt, Tuck, Holland and others. The French navy began experimenting with submarine boats about 1885. The Gymnote was built in 1883 and the Gustave Zede in 1893. The Morse was commenced in 1894, but remained uncompleted until 1899, pending additional experiments with the Gymnote and the Zede. In that year the construction of submarines was actively commenced, ten being launched in 1901. All London is talking about the startling exhibitions of speed given by a little boat on the Thames and at Bournemouth. The boat was seen racing up and down the river at what seemed a terrific speed, darting along by leaps and bounds, just as a shark chases a fish scudding between wind and water. The impression she left was not so much that of power, for she was such a mite of a thing, only 26 feet long, as of vicious and desperate energy. Crowds of people gathered along the embankment to watch her, wondering whence in her tiny body this overpowering energy could come. It has since been divulged that she is the Miranda IV., the latest experiment in skim boats, or, as they are called technically, hydroplanes, by the veteran English inventor, Sir John Thornycroft. Compared with anything near her size, the Miranda IV. is certainly the fastest craft afloat. His exact speed is not known, but she has several times done well over 34 knots an hour, and has decisively beaten the Columbine at Bournemouth, the only other craft which could lay claim to a record in her class. But it is not only for this terrific speed that the Miranda IV. is remarkable. She is the most seaworthy craft of her size that has been constructed. manded an accounting. The judge told the story from beginning to end and found in his partner a sympathetic sharer in the humor of the situation. "Your little girl's all right," he chuckled gleefully. "Hadn't you better let me get something for the boy?" "Not on your life!" Mr. Williams was startled almost into seriousness. He tried it, but he couldn't recall another occasion on which his dignified partner had made use of such an expression. "Why, why—" he stammered. "Boy's all right, isn't he?" "Couldn't be better." "All satisfactory to you, isn't it?" "Perfectly." The congressman threw his cigar stub out of the window, tilted his chair against the wall at an angle that would have been precarious for one less expert and folded his arms. "I don't know anything better," he said, dryly, "than to quote from your speech to Jessica. Here goes: 'I am a lawyer of average intelligence—'" "Hold up!" broke in the judge. "Give me a chance to say that it's my turn to do a little trick and I want you to help me." Whereupon he proceeded to unfold a scheme which appealed so strongly to his partner's sense of humor that he promised to co-operate in its development. A few days later there came to Adam by mail a franked notice to the effect that he had been named as consul to Pango, and that his confirmation was a certainty. At last the coveted prize had been drawn. Pango? Where was Pango? It didn't worry him a little bit, because he couldn't place it. Pango was the entering wedge that assured his entrance into the world of diplomacy. Being a woman, Jessica was more curious. Adam confessed that he had always been regrettably lame in geography; that, for aught he knew, Pango might be in the Antipodes, provided it was not in Michigan. Jessica scouted the idea of Michigan, but was not so certain about the Antipodes. "Why didn't we look for it on the map?" Adam asked with a sudden inspiration. With the big atlas of the world spread open on the library table, they began the quest of the elusive Pango. It was by no means a disagreeable task, but it proved to be fruitless. Pango eluded their combined vigilance; Pago-Pago there was; and a number of other names that might have been Pango, but weren't. "Never mind," said Jessica, tired-eyed, but undismayed. "We'll go anyway." "Perhaps your father may happen to know," suggested Adam, lamely. "Don't ask him. Don't ask anybody. I'll manage it. Listen—let me tell you something," she said excitedly. "There isn't any Pango. Papa and Tom Williams are trying to hoax us. It's just as clear to me as daylight. Papa's been too angelic and happy for the fast few days to be natural. I've suspected something all along, and now I know it. He thinks he's got the joke on us. Adam, you must find some way to outwit Haight & Williams." "Only one way occurs to me—let's go and find Pango without consulting anybody. How does it strike you, little girl?" "I'll do anything to beat those rascally lawyers," she declared, her voice rather tremulous and her cheeks afame. Two mornings later, when the judge sat impatient at the breakfast table and wondering how it was that his young housekeeper had not put in an appearance, a note was handed to him. "Dearest father," it ran, "we have gone to Pango. Be sure to take good care of yourself and don't drink more than your usual two cups of coffee." It was signed: "Your affectionate children, Adam and Jessica Hazeltine." If a child, when its mother's face is turned away, were to transfer secretly a piece of sugar from the sugar bowl to its own mouth, the kid would become a thief under the spirit of predatory laws of most lands. If when its mommer had a piece of sugar in her kind hands he grabbed and snatched it away by violence against his good mother's will, and then put it in his mouth and did eat it he would become a robber. If by false representation of the father's wish that kid would cause the mother with her own hand to present the sugar to his lips, the kid would become a swindler. After this severe statement some folk will think: "Well, anyhow, it's the clever kid who eats the sugar."—New York Press.

The recent Kansas Baptist State Convention held in Ottawa, Oct. 3-9, was a very successful meeting. The delegation was large. A good sum of Money was raised and the necessary appropriations were made for the different departments of the work. The women turned over to the Convention from their department $169.40. The finance for the year was very encouraging. It was about $2000. The sessions were held in the auditorium of Chautauque Association Park] Dr. Copeland and wife report that the pastor Rev. Hammonds and the members and friends of the Third Baptist Church spared no pains to make it pleasant for the delegates. The meals were served in a spacious dining hall. The young men and young women of Ottawa are to be congratulated for the splendid way they entertained the delegates, Saturday, Oct. 8. The white Baptist University was visited by some of the delegates. This University ranks among the best Universities in the United States. The faculty is of the best. A special feature of the convention was the splendid lecture by the Hon. Ex-Congressman George W. Murray of South Carolina. Subject, "Race Ideals." The audience gave rant attention. Dr. M. L. Copeland and wife returned from Newton Friday evening, where he had been called to preach the opening sermon of the third anniversary of the Second Baptist Church. Rev. W. H.

Dr. Copeland delivered two inspiring sermons while there and Mrs. Copeland responded to the request that she address the audience. The address must have been interesting and entertaining. She moved her audience with both pathos and sparkling wit, and the expressions "almost moved to tears" and "convulsed with laughter" might aptly have been USE Murray's Reliable Nerve Balm Murray's Reliable Antiseptic Salve Murray's Reliable Perfumes These Goods Have No Equal They are pleasing hundreds of people and will please you.

PHILADELPHIA TOOK FIRST WORLD SERIES GAMES OPENS WITH GREAT CROWD. The Indian Pitcher Bender Was the Star—Score 4 to 1—Attendance 26,891. Philadelphia, Fa. — The Athletics won the opening game of the world's series from the Chicago Cubs by a score of four to one. A real Indian put a real Indian sign on the Cubs. He was Big Chief Bender of the Chippewas. What are you going to do with a pitcher who puts three and two on the batter and then slips up a curve ball four feet wide for the deciding strike? That was what Bender was doing. He was as chipper as an English sparrow and as calm and collected as the house man in a poker game. His fast ball was breaking fine like a flash, he had a curve which slipped over either corner of the plate and control that was simply uncanny. Following is the score of the game by innings: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9—R. H. E. Philadelphia .0 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 *—4 7 2 Chicago .0 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 —4 7 2 In the first inning Schulte singled and then for seven successive innings not a Cub could hit the ball safely. In the ninth, Tinker and Kling singled in succession, which with an error by Strunk, fumbled Tinker's drive allowed the latter to score the only run for the visitors. Attendance 26,891.

OBJECT LESSON FOR YOUNG MONARCHS MANUEL Fox CHICAGO POST CITIES PADDED THE CENSUS CITIES PADDED THE CENSUS GROSS FRAUDS PERPETRATED IN THE WEST. At Tacoma, Wash., There Were 33,296 Ficticious Names Added—President Taft Orders Prosecutions Washington, D. C.—That gross frauds had been perpetrated by a number of western cities in their population figures was announced by E. Dana Durand, director of the census. Staggered by the enormous growth shown by the returns of the new census for a number of western cities. Director Durand ordered an investigation which resulted in the discovery of the frauds. Mr. Durand gave out also a letter from President Taft directing that persons implicated in the alleged frauds should be prosecuted. Cities specifically mentioned as being affected by the frauds are Tacoma, Seattle and Aberdeen, Wash.; Portland, Ore.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Boise, Idaho, and Fort Smith, Ark., but it is said that there are many others. The result of a second enumeration of Tacoma, Wash., has been announced. The city shows a population of 82,972, an increase of 45,258, or 120 per cent over the population of 1900. The first figures turned in for Tacoma were 116,248. In other words, the actual population was padded to the extent of 33,296, which would have meant a further addition of 40 percent. Those additions were made in 34 out of the 73 enumeration districts in Tacoma. The census authorities here have no discretion now since the orders of President Taft in which he urges prompt and comprehensive action. The census officials will therefore send all the evidence they have in the cases so far made out and outlined in director Durand's statement published to various grand juries in the cities named.

THEY SAY WHITE IS KIMMEL Missing Kansas Banker in New York Prison—Relatives Believe Kim-Mel to be Dead. St. Louis, Missouri.—"Andrew J. White," who is in prison at Auburn, N. Y., declares he is George A. Kimmel, the Arkansas City, Kan., banker who disappeared in Kansas City in 1898. His statement to this effect made in an affidavit, was read in the federal court here. The case on trial is one to recover $7,000 insurance on Kimmel's life. The members of his family say he is dead. Judge A. S. Van Valkenburgh of Kansas City is hearing the evidence in the case. Mrs. Mable Finley Larmer of Duluth, Minn., a childhood sweetheart of Kimmel, was on the stand. She based her belief on the fact that the prisoner shook hands with her in the same way that Kimmel did when they were sweethearts. Miss Mary E. Walker of Niles, who was a classmate of Kimmel there, testified she visited Auburn prison, where she identified White as being Kimmel. "We were in the school play, 'The Child Stealer,' together," said Miss Walker. "At school the pupils were known by numbers. When I visited Auburn prison White told me his number and said that my school number was 27, which it was. He said Dr. Fred Bonnie, who declared White was not Kimmel, had No. 19. That was Fred's number. SENATOR DOLLIVER OF IOWA DEAD The End Came Suddenly and Unexpectedly When it Was Supposed the Senator was Recovering. Fort Dodge, Iowa.—Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver, senior United States senator from Iowa, is dead. The end came suddenly and was the result of an attack of heart dilation due to acute indigestion. An osteopathic physician was giving Senator Dolliver a treatment when the end came. The senator's family and friends believed he had almost recovered from his illness, and no one except the doctor was with him. Senator Dolliver had been up all day and had made a trip from his residence down town. He said he believed he had completely recovered from the indisposition which followed his speech-making trip through Wisconsin for Senator LaCollette. While working over Senator Doliver, the physician was using an instrument to listen to the senator's heart action. The physician unexpectedly discovered that he was no longer hearing the hear beats. He at first believed that his instrument was faulty. An examination revealed that his patient was dead. THE MISSOURI RIVER RATE CASE Federal Supreme Court Refuses a Re-hearing to the Railroads—Action is Final. Washington, D.

A little girl had been so very naughty that her mother found it necessary to shut her up in a dark closet—in that family the direct punishment for the worst offense. For 15 minutes the door had been locked without a sound coming from behind it. Not a whimper, not a sniffle. At last the stern but anxious parent unlocked the closet door and peered into the darkness. She could see nothing. “What are you doing in there?” she cried.

One of the Best Natured as Well ay Best Looking of the Royal Lit tle Fellows of Europe—Seven A Years of Age. ‘Vienna—Among the numerous lit tle princes in Europe, one of the best natured as well as the best looking little fellows is the small Prince Nicholas of Roumania, who is now seven years of age. The youngster is the fourth in the charming group of children whose father is Crown Prince Ferdinand of the picturesque kingdom of Roumania and whose mother was formerly Princess Marie, daughter of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The youthful prince is not a grandson of the present ruler, King Carol, and his wife, known world wide as “Carmen Sylva.” They have no children. King Carol was born a Hohenzol- lern and his consort a grand duchess of Vienna. After the deposition of Prince Couza-Alexander John I, which was a result of the military revolt of 1866, the Count of Flanders, younger brother of Leopold Il. of Bel- gium, was unanimously chosen hos- podar, but the perilous honor was de- clined with thanks. Then the Rou- manians selected Prince Carol of Hohenzollern-Sirgarangen, and he has made an excellent ruler. In 1878 the Berlin congress acknowledged him king of the country, which at that fime had just freed itself from the Turkish yoke and had to begin, as {t were, from the beginning. He 1s ex- ceedingly popular with his subjects, as ts his consort, known among her own people as Elisaveta. The constitution of Roumania set- tled the succession on the king’s old- est brother, Leopold, but he renounced his rights in favor of his son, Wil- helm, and the latter, in turn, renounced his rights in favor of his brother Ferdinand. The crown prince of ‘Roumania, therefore, 1s King Carol's ‘nephew. The princess is a grand- daughter of Queen Victoria and is English by birth and training, though cher mother was a Russian grand duchess. She was married to the ‘erown prince when she was barely Cu ty) 4 i EA asp RAC Prince Nicholas, of Roumania. seventeen, and, though her eldest son, Carol, is fifteen, she is quite a young woman. Princess Marie is very beautiful and her five children resemble her. She has fair hair, blue eyes and a brilliant ¢omplexion. She is very fond of appearing in the native Rou- manian costume and does her best to popularize it. Her children, too, oft- en are dressed in the ola costumes of Wallachia and Moldavia, the prin- c{palities from which the country was formed. In this way the princess tries to promote native industries, the garments being made of hand-wo- ven linen, embroidered with most del- feate work. Prince Ferdinand objects to being photographed. Not so his pretty wife. On the contrary, she rather likes to pose before the camera and has no objection to having her chil- dren photographed. Quite often tho pictures show them in the national costume. The little lad whose like- ness is shown is garbed most pic- turesquely. We Lose $1,250,000 a Day.

I am quite sure that no real reader of ‘Thais’ would ever, under any circumstances, consent to be called such a name. “It makes me think of a man who, taking his infant daughter to be bap- tized, told the clergyman to call her ‘Venus. “‘But I refuse to call her Venus,’ said the clergyman, indignantly. ‘Ve- nus is the name of a pagan goddess.’ “Well, how about your own girl, Diana?’ said the man,” May Sell 100,000,000 Red Cross Seals.

Jur, Greeting:— It is a pleasdre to report to yqu the fevorable condition of our jurisdiction. I am truly glad to say the Lord still leads us and ever so long as we have Hi mforward as the Leader we are sure of success. This order is still pushing to the rfont judging from the goodly report which I receive quarterly, which is a benefit to our people. I am really glad to sey, ‘t is an om ganization of our people, by our people and for our people, ani for the advancement upward of the race. Our order is a prox ressive one, which means to get something and do something. We encourage our members to purchzse homes, which will prove a betterment in the community in which we live, so others may see our good work. Also advise them to do business with ‘one another to show others we can do business with our own race an encourage patronage which is race pride, by helping all Other races practice the pattonage of their own people. So let us do likewise. As we are her to stey we must continue to do our part, as we are in the great reforms of the Times. Sir Knights and Daughters, let us recall: God was with our mother, Jecoliah, so He will be with us, if we only trust to Him, we shall succeed in our labors for humanity end -the Order ot ‘Twelve. I am sorry to tell you by death we have lost nine of our dear members since the Grand Session. We feel in most of their deaths we lost true members and lovers of the church. You can see the need of paying your endowment the first of each month. Then the Chief Grand Treasurer will be able to pay the promised sum by us. I will say, gladly, we are able to pay each claim which comes in full to date, which looks great for the Order of Twelve. As soon as the death is rightfully proven the Endowment is paid. All Temples, Tabernacles, Tents and Platiums must send their quarterly reports to the proper depart ment as provided by law. Some members are alweys slow with their report. You are notified now to be on time hereafter as they are much needed. The Taborian home must be furnished Th Board of Grand Curators are anxious to open the home for inmates. We honestly ask all members to send some money to Dtr. Emme Gaines, C. G. P. Do not send furniture as all may be the same. Money will purchase the things most needful. As the Committee will get things which are needed. It was re ported at our last Grand Session that as soon as the members furnished the home {t would be open to admit inmates, so begin the work for the home, as it is time. Yours for sucess. REV.
