THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM FOR 1910 Upon reviewing the Democratic platform mas adopted by the Democratic party of Kansas and which has the sworn support of the Democratic candidates for all the county and state offices, we find in paragraph 13, a carefully worded article, which can be termed as nothing less than a direct attempt to introduce upon the statutes of Kansas a Grandfather clause, of which the following is a copy: "XIII, Believing that the intelligence of the voters of Kansas is such that they do not need pictures or emblems to guide them in the selection of their candidates for office, and believing that in a spirit of fairness it should be as easy for an elector to vote an independent ticket as a party ticket, we pledge our Senators and Representatives in the Kansas Legislature to vote and work for a measure that eliminates what is known as the straight ticket, and provide for a ballot stripped of all emblems oer party candidates, and to provide that the names of all the candidates for each office on all tickets shall be printed under the same head. This form of ballot is known as the Massachusetts ballot. In enacting this measure into law, it shall be so written that no elector shall be assisted by the judges or clerks of the election board to cast his vote unless said elector shall be physically disabled from so doing." After reading this carefully, you will note the statement in the last paragraph, that no judge or clerk shall help an elector cast his ballot unless the said elector be physically disabled. Now, we as negroes well know that the majority of our race over the age of 55 years are as physically able to ote as any man, but owing to conditions caused by the Democratic party during their ascendancy in power the older members of our race are intellectually unable to vote without the assistance of a clerk or judge. We well know the deplorable conditions existing in Oklahoma, Mississippi, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and other Southern States where the Negro has been deprived of the rights of suffrage, yes an almost citizenship, by mob rule and the Democratic party. And seeing, as we do, that the Democrats of Kansas are seeking to steal from us the rights given to us by the constitution of the United States, ad for which was fought one of the bloodiest wars known in the annals of history, it becomes the duty of every liberty loving negro in the State to awake to his interest, and not be led away by the fair promises of these Gods of Mob Rule and Chief Priests of Riot. There is too much principle at stake to allow ourselves to be inactive in this matter. We appeal to your loyalty to support the Republican party of Kansas. Wake up and vote against this disfranchising plank and support the Republican ticket. THE RACE'S DEBT TO THE RE PUBLICAN PARTY. We cannot really believe that any Afro-American has an intention to vote for Democrats for congress, but the Chicago Tribune is not sure upon that matter. It says: "If the past is recalled by the Afro-American he will not fail to appreciate the fact that every privilege he has in this country came to him at the hands of the Republican party. Every proposition looking towards his welfare was fought by the Democrats during the long years of struggle over the Negro question following the close of the Civil War. The history of the United States tells its own conclusive story on those points. Freedom, manhood, education, suffrage, opportunity were given by the Republican party." The foregoing shows what the Afro-American owes to the Republican party and it is only fair to state what he owes to the Democratic party as E. E. PAGE.

"Ceasin to be a slave, the former victim has become not only a man but a citizen, admitted alike within the pale of humanity and within the pale of citizenship. As man he is entitled to all the rights of man, and as a citizen he becomes a member of our common household, with equality as the prevailing law. No longer an African, he is an American; no longer a slave, he is an American; no longer a slave, he is a common part of a republic, owing to its patriotic allegiance in return for protection of equal laws. Insult him is to insult an American citizen. Dishonor him is dishonor to the republic itself.

BRADLEY, ASSOCIATION WARDEN IN FLORIDA TODAY the songbirds of the United States have thrown about them the strong arm of protection. For a quarter of a century there was hard and systematic work to save creatures who were helpless to save themselves and against whom as someone has put it, the hand of man and the head of woman constantly were raised. It perhaps is hardly necessary to say that the allusion to the head of woman had to do with the fashion of wearing the plumage of native wild birds for decorations for hats and bonnets. It was a hard fight to get the masses of the people interested in the bird protection movement. Today very little is known in a general way of the manner in which success was wrought out. It is not at all uncommon even now to hear the bird protectors spoken of as mere sentimentalists, and there are men who have had a part in the fight to save the wild life who have been sneered at as effeminate. The truth is that most of the men who engaged in the work of preserving the feathered species were hard-headed and could prove on occasion that they were hard fisted. It takes only a casual glance at a woman's hat today to show that the fashion of wearing feathers is still if not supreme, at least a ruler to a considerable degree. It should be known, however, that not once in a hundred times do you see on a woman's head today the plumage of a native American bird. The traffic in the feathers of bluebirds, robins, catbirds and other dooryard pets has been almost entirely stopped. Even those who wish that the plumage-wearing habit should cease altogether are powerless to prevent the sale of the feathers of certain species of foreign birds. The aigrette of which woman is so fond is a part of the plumage of the snowy heron, a bird which lives not only in the United States but in certain foreign countries. If a bird is to be found in America and also abroad the sale of its plumage is generally forbidden in the United States, but there is, and always has been, some difficulty in proving from whence came the supply. Law, generally speaking, has its technicality loopholes and the bird protective law is not exempt. Out of the bird protective movement grew the biological survey of the department of agril SINGING IN THE WIND KEATING KENTUCKY WARBLER culture of the United States government. The biological survey has been of great service to the farmers of the United States and to all men engaged either directly or indirectly, in any form of agricultural pursuits. When the survey was threatened with extinction a few years ago by the apparent intention of congress to refuse it an appropriation, the farmers of the United States with the bird protectors and the real sportsmen, rose in its defense and saved it. The survey probably will be spared to continue its useful work as long as the agricultural department has existence. The history of bird protection in the United States naturally and of right, is connected with the history of two organizations, the various state Audubon societies for the protection of wild birds, and the American Ornithologists' union. Recently William Dutcher of New York, who is the president of the National Association of Audubon societies and a fellow of the American Ornithologists' union, told the ornithologists of the world assembled in convention in a European city the story of the bird protection movement in North America. Mr. Dutcher and all the other officers of the National Association of Audubon societies are men who have devoted their lives to the study of birds and to their protection. A celebrated French scientist said not long ago that if the bird life were to be swept out of existence man could survive only a few months. Because of the ravages of the insects --- TION FOR SONG BIRDS UNITED STATES PHOTO COPYRIGHT BY PIRIE MAC DONALD N.Y. GREAT WHITE HERON WILLIAM DUTCHER PRESIDENT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF AUDUBON SOCIETIES GRAVE OF GLYM M. BRADLEY, ASSOCIATION WARDEN IN FLORIDA. KILLED IN PERFORMANCE OF DUTY now held in check by the birds, the vegetation creatures would be destroyed by the insect enemies. So it would seem that if this French scientist is right, that in making their fight for the birds the defenders have been making their fight for man, a fact which is not appreciated by some of those who would suffer were it not for the constant saving efforts of men whom on occasion they have seen fit to call cranks. To lead up to the establishment of the Audubon societies, of which nearly every state in the Union has one, it might be said that it was not until the year 1883 that the public in the United States awakened to the fact that too many wild birds were being slaughtered, largely for millinery ornaments and other decorative purposes. In addition, thousands of song and insectivorous birds were killed annually for food. In his story of the movement for bird protection President Dutcher told of the beginnings of the crusade to save the lives of the songsters which year by year were coming back to the farm and the garden in greatly decreased numbers. Mr. Dutcher said, speaking of the condition in 1883: "The newspapers published items almost daily on the subject, and many strong editoriales were written. A quotation from one of these entitled 'The Sacrifices of Song Birds' will show the earnestness of the press in respect to the situation: 'The destruction of American wild birds for millinery purposes has assumed stupendous proportions. The unholy work gives employment to a vast army of men and women and this army wages its campaign of destruction with a diabolical perfection of system.' "The editorial in question further refers to details of the work published in other columns of the paper, which furnishes evidence of the ghastly character of the business. The logical result of this newspaper agitation was that the American Ornithologists' union at its annual meeting held in New York city September 30, 1884, appointed a committee of its members to investigate the extent of the alleged wild bird destruction and to devise means to stop the slaughter by legal or any other legitimate method. "This committee found that the claims of the press and of individuals were not in the least exaggerated, but on the other hand did not fully represent the terrible inroads that were being made on the non-game birds. After a lapse of a quarter of a century it is hard for the people of the present day to realize the enormous number of birds that were slaughtered for the millinery trade alone. "The greatest sufferers were the white plumage sea and swamp birds, such as terns, gulls and heron, but incredible numbers of land birds also were sacrificed, some 60 or 70 species being included in the lists. In one millinery establishment alone 150 skins of the Baltimore orioles were found. "From the work started by this committee in 1884 the present well-organized and financially endowed corporation known as the National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals has resulted, although in the interim there were many periods when the outlook for bird protection in North America seemed doomed to failure." It was the result of an appeal made to congress by the council of the Ornithologists' union that led congress to vote an appropriation of $5,000, the money to be administered under the direction of the department of agriculture for the purpose of taking means to save the lives of the native American birds which were useful to man. As William Dutcher says further in his story of the protective movement: "In recognition of the action taken by the American Ornithologists' union in securing the appropriation, the secretary of agriculture invited the council of the union to select a superintendent to carry on the work and at a subsequent meeting held in Washington, Dr. Clinton Hart Merriam was selected as the superintendent and Dr. Albert K. Fisher as his assistant. Both of these noted ornithologists were among the founders of the American Ornithologists' union." It was from this humble beginning that the present biological survey, a division of the United States department of agriculture, has grown. It is perfectly apparent from the letters which ornithologists send to Washington constantly that the work of the biological survey has its value appreciated more and more every year. The survey has published a great mass of valuable statistics of the food habits of birds and their relation to agriculture and forestry. As has been said, there are Audubon societies for bird protection in nearly every state in the Union. They are affiliated in one great society called the National Association of Audubon societies. The writer of this article from personal knowledge can speak of the beginnings of one of the largest and most active of the state organizations. Persons who were known to be interested in birds were asked to meet to form a protective organization. A good many persons not particularly interested in bird protection also were invited. Several women came to that first meeting, wearing the plumage of wild birds in their hats. At first the society intended to do its work by persuasive missionary efforts, and along this line to a considerable extent the endeavor has been ever since. but it was soon found that while some people were willing to be guided by pleas of humanity and by stories of the destruction of the growing things because of the rapid increase in insect life, there were others who could not be reached by any except hard handed methods. So it is that the bird protectors not only have carried on a great work in the education of children and in moral suasion among the elders, but they have taken cases into court and have prosecuted wilful and persistent violators of the law, until today the bird protective laws are as much feared as any other laws on the statute books. There always have been some laws against the wanton killing of useful birds, but until the men and women of the American Ornithologists' union and of the Audubon society went earnestly at their labors the laws were laughed at and violated with impunity and almost always with immunity. Years ago untold thousands of useful native birds were trapped to be sold as pets in cages. The women of the south complained to the women of the north who were engaged in bird protection work that their mocking birds and red birds (cardinals) were being trapped in multitudes because of the demand by the trade in northern cities for caged songsters. The bird protectors of the north took the matter up and in nearly all places today it is illegal to sell caged wild native American birds. About fifteen years ago there was a week of zero weather in some of the southern states. The blue bird, which is a northern favorite, does not go far enough south in winter to escape all of the storms of the winter season. The unusual cold of that winter fifteen years ago almost annihilated the tribe of bluebirds. There were only a few left to come back to the northern fields in the spring. The blue bird, however, was protected, and the efficiency of the Audubon society's work was never more clearly shown than in this case. The blue birds today have recruited their ranks under protection and are as numerous as ever they were. For years the bird protectionists went ahead with their work with the treasury at a low point. It always had been hoped that some kindly disposed person would realize the strength and beauty of bird protection work and would give of this substance to the cause. The man known as a scientist nor as a bird student. One day, however, Albert Willcox saw a newspaper account of some of the bird protection work done by the national Association of Audubon societies and he wrote a letter asking for more details. He received the information that he wanted and he wrote to say that he was about to make a new will and felt so much pleased with the work of the society that he would give it annually during his lifetime a considerable sum of money to be used in carrying on the work of the association, and that when he died he would give the society a legacy of $100,000 in his will, and he added, "I may not limit it to this amount." Albert Willcox died four years ago. He left $100,000 to the Audubon society as he had promised, and in addition he made the society his residuary legatee to the extent of one-half his estate. Today the National Association of Audubon societies, through the generosity of Mr. Willcox, is placed on a sure and lasting foundation. The bird protective work has been going on for a quarter of a century. It had all sorts of trials and tribulations, but today it seems that the friends of the feathered kingdom have triumphed in their cause. The promise is that there will be no cessation of the work which means so much to the bird and more to man. MONEY IN TRAPPING We tell you how; and paint the prices.

SWELLING THE HOTEL BILL Hotel Keeper's Method of Taxing Traveler Had at Least the Method of Novelty. One of the things which help swell the traveler's expenses, both in this country and abroad, is the "extra." It may or may not be charged in the bill, but it is sure to be paid for. Probably even the most geneous traveler, however, will have some sympathy for the gentleman in the following story who was made to pay liberally for a certain annoying privilege. During his stay at the hotel the weather had been very hot. "Charles," said the landlord to the clerk who was making out the bill to be presented to the departing guest, "have you noticed that the gentleman in number seven has consulted the thermometer on the piazza at least ten times every morning during his stay here?" Charles replied that he had "Well," said the landlord, "charge him the price of one dinner a day for the use of the thermometer."—Youth's Companion. What About Him? The taik had gone back and fro, and the youthful socialist had been announcing that no man ought to get his living by cheating, and we all listened to him, and agreed that it was dreadful when men and women did not tell the truth, but tried to make their living by deceiving people. Millionaires, landowners, financiers, we sacrificed all of them who cheat the public. "No one should make a living by deception," said the young man.

THE FIRST TASTE Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby If parents realized the fact that coffee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giving the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. As my parents used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. "And so I contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite young the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it in the coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste right and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until I was 27, and when I got into office work, I began to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could scarcely attend to my correspondence. "At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. "A friend persuaded me to try Postum. My wife and I did not like it at first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. "I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drinkers." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Ever read the above letter?

He worked rapidly and correctly, his bright eye half closed to get the general effect, his good jaw thrust out more than was actually necessary. It was almost closing time, and he saw from the set of Harris' shoulders, visible at the desk beyond, that their argument was not closed. It meant some more words. Well, all right—Harris, if he was his superior, could have them, and there would be no uncertain sound to his tumpet, either. And his expectation was correct. While they were closing their desks and getting ready for leaving, and the stenographers and clerks were chattering, fluffing at their hair, pinning on their hats, Harris, junior partner of the firm, touched him on the shoulder. very funny, in laughed; and the girl was luctantly but with wondered what Madge's dinner; how to make a sasker was perplexed, friend was risin. After dinner, Tessile Gray is thence to the pool being smiled amused him. Shin in vain. To w. The other men w she would never fully back on the endure his ass; she did not thaw her. After that the little "I want a word with you, Wiltste. Going to walk? All right, I'll ride Shank's mare, too." The young fellow put on his coat and girded himself for the verbal fray—he was quite as determined as Wiltste, and he was sure that, being a married man, his own wisdom was infinite. They started out into the fresh spring air, swinging along joyously enough. Suddenly Harris began. "Confound you, anyway, Howard, for a subborn, unobliging fellow! What good are you as a friend if you won't help Madge and me out a little? What on earth are we to do with Tessie Gray on our hands the next two months if you don't be decent. What's the use of you're being Madge's second cousin if you can't help entertain her guest? And what on earth makes you think you can't come to our house party for a few weeks? I don't see! It's just as easy to come to the office from our house as from your old boarding house. What als you?" Wiltisle shrugged his shoulders, and stuck out his jaw again. "I like you and Madge and your charming house—you know that. But I'm not a 'shiner' in the company of the fair ones. I don't want to be too plain, but you've pestered me till I'm positively ill tempered. You've accused me of being a woman-hater—I'm not. And of being a bachelor—which I plead guilty to. If you must have it straight, I'm determined to keep on being a bachelor for some years. And I'm so dead easy, such a girllover, that my only safety is in flight and numbers. And another thing. Madge was my cousin before she was your wife, and I have the right to state emphatically that she's the most deadly matchmaker in my large experience. I'm thirty, and though she's three years my junior she's been trying to get me in love and married for ten solid years. And you can't deny, blinded as you are by her charms, that she has chosen Tessie Gray as the final instrument for my undoing. Not for me, thanks!" Harris had to laugh outright. He would tell Madge that her methods were not as hidden and subtle as she imagined—it would do her good! "You selfish old bachelor, don't you know that you don't count? You're nobody and nothing—just a lost half floating about and useless to the world. Don't yon know that the family, the two-in-one, is the unit of society? Why, man, you're a cipher!" "All right—but I'm pretty good at backing up units. I come after, to be sure, but I at least create an interest! I'll come and see your wonder, but I warn you now that I won't marry her. Of course she also is a victim in your wife's hands, and probably unconscious of the dire intention to get her married. She won't like me. But I'll be decent—take her about some, and call an all that, but I'll be hanged if I'll come into the mesmeric circle of a house party composed of a married couple, two engaged couples and—an extra girl! I know enough to keep out of danger. This is my corner and I'm off. So long, and tell Madge I'll come to her dinner, and be glad—but I'm on to her!" A few evening later, groomed within an inch of his life, his blue eyes wary, and his jaw in evidence, Mr. Howard Wiltsie betook himself to the house of his employer and second cousin by marriage. The pretty house, its pretty mistress, the couples and the host were at their best. He already knew them all but Miss Tessie Gray, who fulfilled even the extravagant promises which Madge had made for her beauty and charm. The bachelor was introduced—and galvanized with surprise. The lady was like a piece of ice—to him. No fault could be found with the perfection of her manner, but neither could a ray of warmth be discovered in her. Of course she fell to his lot at dinner—and insisted on talking to Cooper, on the other side, to that gentleman's embarrassment, since his fiancee demanded his full attention. Wiltshire then tried Mabel Strand, on his other side—but she was impervious to more than a few laughing remarks chinked in between the pauses of her interest in her host, who was telling her boyhood reminiscences of John Gardner, her fiancee. Madge was plainly worried, and Tessie took pains to show her strange dislike to Wiltshire. Then that young man, bound to redeem himself with Madge, plained by the honor-guest's coolness, laid himself out to be nice. He was very funny, indeed, and everybody laughed; he talked a lot—and well—and the girl was forced to listen, reluctantly but with attention. Harry wondered what had happened to Madge's dinner; she usually knew how to make a successful evening. He was perplexed, but he saw that his friend was rising to the situation. After dinner, Wiltsle followed Miss Tessie Gray into the parlor, and thence to the porch. He was used to being smiled at, and the change amused him. She tried to escape, but in vain. To whom could she flee? The other men were all engaged, and she would never let herself fall pitifully back on the host or hostess. She endured his assiduous attention, but she did not thaw. He enjoyed bothering her. After that there were parties, and a little dance, and a few picnics, and many dinners. Drawn into the current, Wiltsie could not escape—he took it good naturally, always paired off with the girl, though Madge had tried vainly to get some other satisfactory and unattached man. "I believe everybody in the world but Tessie and Howard are engaged," fretted Madge to her husband. "I'm worn to a frazzle. They hate each other, and yet they have to stay together. There's no other way. And he seems to take positive joy in following her about and being raptly attentive. She's horrid—and any other girl would be wild with delight. He's so good looking and clever, and he'll be a partner next year, won't he?" Harris assented, but inwardly he was greatly amused. A few weeks later on, after a home dinner, and when the couples had innocently enough lost themselves about the garden, the porch, anywhere to be comparatively alone, Howard Wiltsi took his banjo and sat down on the front steps at Tessie's feet. He began to strum and sing odd little songs, and to be generally entertaining. "Don't try so hard to be nice to me! It tires you, and is quite a superfluous sacrifice! Take it more easily—you are not running half the risk you think you are. There is nothing mesmeric about me and I don't like matching any better than you do, and even if I wanted to be married, I can assure you that you, of all men, are quite safe! I appreciate your bravery in thus coming into the danger zone to help out your cousin, but I assure you it's no pleasure to me to be 'entertained' so strenuously. I'm going back home." Tears came to her flashing eyes, and before he could find a word to answer to this crushing tirade, the girl jumped to her feet and went into the house. "You can tell Madge I have a headache and don't want to be disturbed. I dislike asking you to tell a lie, but since you act them so beautifully perhaps you won't mind!" She was gone. The young man stared a little; then he laughed. When his hostess asked for Miss Gray he coolely remarked that the young woman had a bad attack of temper and had gone to her room. He himself waited until he got a word with Harris in the den. He went straight to the point. "Did you tell Madge what I said about her matchmaking and all that stuff that night coming home from the office?" "Why—yes, I did. I tried to keep still, but the night Tessie came Madge was talking about you, and of course—" "Being a good husband, you had to tell. When and where did you tell her?—and where was Miss Gray?" "Gone to bed. Madge and I were on the porch. Why?" Wiltsie said he only "wanted to know." Then he went home—or pretended to. He knew Tessie Gray pretty well by now. When he was sure the others would be asleep, he went back to Harris' garden and sat down in the little summer house and waited. It was very late, nearly twelve, but a very warm night. Would she by chance come out? She was of course too angry to sleep. Howard Wiltsie was a good guesser. Evidently she had recovered from her rage, for she was coming down the path, occasionally holding her handkerchief to her eyes. When she was almost at the summer house, he went out to meet her. She jumped, but she did not scream. She looked as angry, as she could. He faced her, looking straight into the tear-filled eyes. "Are the tears for me, Tessie? or are they—for yourself?" She stared, not understanding him, her rage and resentment giving way before that new thing she saw in his eyes—a new and welcome thing. "Hasn't it dawned on you, Tessie, that I'm—in love with you? All that idiotic stuff I told Harries and which you heard him drivel over to Madge—was before I knew you. Dear, don't you see that?" She nodded, and then he took courage—and both her willing hands. "And don't you see that you—love me, too?—and that Harris was right about my being a cipher?" She nodded again—against his shoulder, very comfortably. And again in the history of man and woman one-and-one made one, the unit of society. The KITCHEN CABINET IS better to be lowly born. And range with humble livers in content. Than to be perk'd up in a glistering grief And wear a golden sorrow. Simple and Dainty Desserts. Simple and Dainty Desserts. What to have for dessert is the question that arises several hundred times a year. Pies and puddings, like the poor, are "always with us," but are less wholesome than simpler desserts and fruits. Toast a few marshmallows cut in quarters and serve with a few almonds in whipped cream. A most delicious frozen dish is made of two lemons, two oranges, two cups of sugar and two cups of cream; freeze as usual. Gelatine jellies are great favorites, easy to make and so light that they make an ideal dessert after a hearty dinner. Jellied Prunes. Pick over and wash half a pound of prunes and soak several hours in cold water to cover, then cook in the same water until tender. Remove the stones and cut in quarters; to the prune water add enough boiling water to make two cupfuls; soak half a box of gelatine in half a cup of water and stir over the heat until dissolved; add one cupful of sugar and a quarter of a cupful of lemon juice; turn into a mold, stirring occasionally to prevent the prunes from sinking. Serve with sugar and cream. Figs and Lemon Sauce. Soak figs several hours in cold water, then cook in water to cover until plump; add a fourth of a cup of lemon juice to the water when nearly done. Drain the figs and serve in a glass dish, with the juice slightly thickened with cornstarch. Chill and serve with whipped cream, flavored with lemon vind. Banana Cantaloupe. Soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatine in half a cupful of cold water. Beat the whites of two eggs slightly, add a fourth of a cup of powdered sugar and three-fourths of a cup of scaled cream; cook over hot water until it thickens; add the soaked gelatine and two-thirds of a cupful of sugar; strain into a pan set in ice water, add four mashed bananas and one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Stir until it begins to thicken, then fold in the whip from three cups of cream. Line the melon mold with lady fingers, trimmed to fit the mold, turn in the mixture and spread evenly and chill. B E STRONG! It matters, not how deep the Prepare for the Winter During the fruit season there are many delicacies that may be overlooked in the time of preparation, because the recipes could not be found or are completely forgotten. Here is a nice confection which may be easily made and which is very dainty: Tomato Figs.—Take six pounds of tomatoes and three pounds of granulated sugar; select small yellow or red tomatoes; put them in a colander and plunge into boiling water for half a minute, remove the skins carefully, not to break the tomatoes. Cover the bottom of a porcelain-lined kettle with a portion of the sugar, put in a layer of the tomatoes, the remainder of the sugar and another layer of tomatoes. Cook slowly until the sugar has penetrated the center of the tomatoes; lift carefully with a large fork and spread the tomatoes carefully on granite plates and let them dry in the sun, bringing them in each night. Sprinkle while drying with granulated sugar. When perfectly dry put in layers with waxed paper between each. An Aster Luncheon. Aster means star, so an appropriate centerpiece of tin made in the form of a star and filled with delicate lavender and pink asters with ribbons of the same color radiating to each place, where they are attached to star shaped place cards decorated with hand-painted stars makes a very attractive table. The menu may be carried out without regard to the color scheme. A pretty custom and one which it is hoped will become popular is the reading of an interesting story by the hostess or a friend as the entertainment. Let the noble art of conversation not be entirely forgotten over the bridge table. Those who entertain simply can entertain often and thereby are not setting an example of extravagance to be followed by a greater one at the next entertainment. Entertainers are always looking for something original for entertainment. Why not have a dinner or luncheon and with something else than bridge whist. Pumpkin Marmalade. Cut eight pounds of yellow pumpkin into small pieces; mix nine pounds of sugar with the pieces and allow to stand 12 hours. Peel six oranges and six lemons and boil this rind for two hours, changing the water two or three times. Chop the rind, add it to the juice of the oranges and lemons; mix it with the pumpkin and cook slowly three hours. Put in glasses and keep in a dark place. Candy for a yellow luncheon may be colored with saffron. Small patties of fondant may be colored, then drop with a teaspoon on a buttered paper. Another attractive way of serving ice cream is in the spun sugar nests, any color may be used. These nests may be made at home after a little practise, but they may be purchased at five cents each from the confectioner. T SEEMS not unreasonable to consider marriage on its practical side as a business partnership to which the woman as well as the man is to contribute; but if she be no knowledge of household affairs, and no equivalent for it, the partnership on its business side is unfair. The Children's Sunday. To many parents, what to do with the children to keep them happy on Sunday, is a problem. It should be the day of all the week most enjoyed; but much depends on how Sunday is observed, whether the child looks forward to the day with joy or dread. Children in the home mean self-sacrifice on the part of the parents, but aren't they worth it? After the usual church services are attended, and by-the-way, the wise parents of today take all their children to church as soon as the mother is able to go with them. A child thus reared will belong in the church and never have to be urged to go. One has to remember that children are without judgment, and their little wants must be met. A cooky and a pencil will often be all that is necessary for its contentment. Let the children have an hour with you of their own on Sunday afternoon; it may mean the giving up of a nap or a call, but keep the time for them. Talk over things that have troubled, then read some interesting book closed the previous week at a most interesting point, and keep the book just for Sunday reading. Let the children have some games and toys kept only for use on Sunday. A Noah's ark may be an unbuilding source of amusement; talks on the different animals, their homes and habits, teach geography and nature study. Let them use pencil and paper with Bible names to make words, or teach them to spell their names with Bible verses. These may be memorized. Very young children show in a short time the general knowledge gained by the thoughtful companionship of parents. There are several Bible games suitable for different ages that may be used occasionally to vary the program. Another way to interest children is to allow one to suggest what to have for the Sunday supper, and let them all have a hand in getting it ready. These suggestions may be varied to suit individual needs, and parents with a little thought can originate countless helpful ways of spending the Sabbath as it should be spent, in quiet and with reverence. B LESSED are the mirthful, for mirthfulness is God's medicine—one of the renovators of the world. Helpful Hints. Use salt and sour milk to clean brasses. Remnants of fat, either cooked or uncooked should always be saved, fried out and clarified if necessary. Carpets are greatly freshened by washing with water in which a table-spoonful of ammonia is added to six quarts of water. After a thorough sweeping wipe with a cloth wrung as dry as possible. To keep chipped ice in the sick room, suspend a flannel bag in a bowl, put the ice in the bag and keep tightly covered. See that the bag is high enough to be out of the water, as the ice meets and ice will last nearly all night. Try putting the pumpkin through the meat chopper before cooking. It is easily done and it needs little water to cook and in a short time is tender. If put in the oven to stew it need not be watched as carefully as if cooked on top of the stove. Before removing the ribbon from underwear, sew a piece of tape to the end of ribbon, then draw the ribbon out of the garment from the opposite end, which will draw the tape in, then the ribbon may be removed from the tape, and when the garment is washed the ribbon may be quickly put back in the same manner, as the tape is left in during the washing. For the Hostess Chat on Interesting Topics of Mary Kinds, by a Recognized Authority A Chrysanthemum Luncheon. A Chi-syanthemum luncheon. Judging from the numerous letters from brides-elect, Cupid must have been unusually busy with his little bow and arrow. There are so many requests for pre-nuptial functions, I am sure the description of this chrysanthemum luncheon will be very acceptable. It was gorgeously brilliant, the color scheme being yellow; especially fitting for this month as November claims the topaz and the chrysanthemum; in this instance it was also the bride's birthday month as well as her wedding day season. For a centerpiece there was a mound of yellow "mums," kept in place by embedding the stems in sand. At each place there was a little yellow jardiniere containing one stiff, straight little yellow "mum" to which the name card was attached with a yellow ribbon. The grape fruit cock-tail had a wee "mum" in the center of the fruit; around the stem of the glass there was a fuzzy bow of white tulle. The plates on which the frappe glasses stood had a wreath of yellow "mums" around them and the ice-cream was in boxes concealed by petals of yellow crepe paper "mums." The candle sticks were of silver and had yellow shades. At each place were yellow slippers filled with salted nuts. Just the bridal party were included in the guests, I mean the girls in the party and two matrons of honor. A Box Shower. A jolly crowd wishing to "shower" one of their number who was about to leave the state of single blessedness, conceived the bright idea of giving a box shower. The boys were in on it too, and they had loads of fun. All the gifts were in boxes, which in turn were put in a huge dry goods box covered with white paper cambric on which hearts of red, large and small were pasted. When all had arrived, the bell rang and the village expressman appeared and said he had a small parcel for Miss B—and imagine the surprise when he entered with the assistance of several of the masculine guests bearing the immense box. The honored couple were told they could unpack, but each package was to be shown, the card read and speech made before the next box was opened. Among the articles were boxes of paper, box of matches, box of tacks, box of soap, of thread, of pins, work box, glove and handkerchief box, stamp box, tool box and a nest of boxes ending with a wee pill box which contained a collar button; box of tin kitchen utensils, box of paper napkins, box of labels, etc. When it came to serving refreshments the hostess had a dainty luncheon put up in pasteboard boxes covered with rose wall paper, a box for each couple, coffee and ice cream completed the repast. There were salt almonds and bon-bons in pretty heart shaped boxes For Thanksgiving A THE FASHION OF THE WINTER A dress with a large bow and a floral pattern is shown. The dress is adorned with pumpkins and leaves, and the bow is decorated with ribbons and bows. A girl wearing a dress with a large bow and a floral pattern is shown. The dress is adorned with pumpkins and leaves, and the bow is decorated with ribbons and bows. VERY housekeeper does herself proud in getting up the Thanks giving dinner. Besides the snowy giving dinner. Besides the snowy linen, sparkling silver and glass, and savory dishes, some decoration is needed to make the festive occasion quite complete. These decorations are no small item of expense if purchased in the art shops where hand work brings its price. Any woman or girl may, however, make her own decorations at very small expense and in a short time. We are giving today several designs which work out attractively in color. The candle shade, representing the horn of plenty, always in evidence in Thanksgiving decorations, is to be traced on thin water-color paper by means of carbon paper, and tinted in water-color. The horn is to be purple—not too dark—the ribbons green, and the fruit of the gay richness of the natural color. The inside of the horn may be tinted dark green. To add to the effect when lighted, put a bright bit of color on the wrong side of the shade under any gay colored fruit, such as orange or apples. Leave a little seam on each end of the shade and fasten with brass brods. The edge is cut out irregularly around the fruit. When the painting is done go over all lines with waterproof black bearing the monogram of the bride and groom elect, which the guests retained as souvenirs. A Neck-Tie and Apron Party. This really is an old time stunt, but like many other old things has been rejuvenated. The hostess prepares as many cheese cloth aprons as there are men and as many pieces of silk or ribbon as there are girls. When all arrive the men are given spools of thread and told to find the girl who has an apron to match it. In this way partners are chosen and the girls put on the aprons after the men have sewed the hems and sewed on the strings. Allow half or three-quarters of an hour for this. Next the girls are given the necktie pieces and they are gathered together and put through a door, each girl having hold of an end, the door is closed and the men are to come in and take hold of an end. When each man has an end, the door is opened and the girl who has hold of the other end must fashion a necktie for her swain. The latter puts it on and the girl puts on her apron, and thus partners are selected for supper or refreshments. This is a very jolly party, adapted to private parties or for a church social. To Clean Black Skirt. To clean a black skirt, lay the skirt as flatly as possible on a clean table. Remove all grease spots with brown paper and a hot iron, then with a sponge dipped in strong coffee rub over the whole of the dress, paying special attention to the front and edge of the skirt. When the whole of the skirt has been sponged and is still damp, iron on the wrong side until perfectly dry. FANCIES OF FASHION All-black hats are seen in satin, velvets, brocade, hatter's plush, velours, beaver, beaver cloth. More dress hats are in all-black or black-and-white with a touch of metal or color than in any other shade. Ostrich feathers, willow plumes especially, are much in demand. Shaded and two-tone effects lead in favor. Brimmed turbans are seen, with upright brims almost as high as the hat itself and close to it except at the back. Hat shapes are of three sorts—the large, wide-brimmed hat (the most popular, the clotche, or Charlotte Corday, and the turban. As a variation on these there is the large hat with the mushroom brim in a wide variety of shapes, all generally following the mushroom type. A ink, and do the work carefully. Four place cards are given, one a demure Puritan maiden to be colored in light gray gown, darker gray cape with bright red lining, cap to match the cape with a white facing and tie and kerchief—which just shows a Mattle in front. Paint the face and hands in the natural color. Red and yellow, if properly mixed, will give a satisfactory flesh color for beginners. The lines in all the cards should be gone over with a pen and ink outline. The turkey is to be painted brown, light and dark shades, with a bit of red on the head, and outlined. The pumpkin is a brilliant orange color with dark green leaves, and the apples shaded in light and dark red and green leaves, with brown stems. The water-color cards may be bought by the dozen, or very stiff and heavy water-color paper may be used. Those who do not already possess a box of water-color paints may secure a very excellent little box of a new make with all the necessary colors, for 50 cents. A five-cent Japanese brush, which comes to a very fine point, will answer all purposes for doing this work 833 S 77% Official Directory Knights & Daugnhtere OF TABOR XANSAS—NEBRASKA JURISDICTION WHGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF 17—Western Queen, Ft.

Mrs. J. M. Grass, Mrs. M. Ridley and son went to Hutchinson, Sunday, and attended the dedication of the C. M. E, church. The ceremony was in charge of the venerable Bishop Isaac Lane, 76 years of age, who held the large audience spell-bound with two masterful sermons. His first text was II. Peter 26-4; his seconud text was Acts IX-6. They raised $581.55. Mr. and Mrs. S. Frame, of Wichita, visited Monday night with Mr. and Mrs. Warfield. Mrs. Warfield was jhostess to a Halloween party Monday night. About 40 guests were present. Doughnuts, sweet cider, ice cream and cake was served. Mrs. Sam Duncan and daughter, Miss Young, of Peabody, were the guests of Mrs. Gross Monday. Mrs. Manning went to Wichita with her brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. S. Frame. She is en route to her home in Oklahoma, Sudden Death. Mr. Isham Underwood died very sud- denly last Saturday morning at half past eigfiht o'clock in the cinder pit of the Santa Fe Railway company. He had just knocked an engine and went into the pit to shovel out the cinders and was overcome with gas fumes and expired suddenly. He had been in the employment of the Santa Fe company for eight years. Mr. Under- wood was born in Todd county in the State of Kentucky, March, 1854, died at Newton, Kansas, October 29th, 1910, age 56 years and seven months. He was united in the holy bonds of mat- rimony to Miss Ella Sebra in the State of Kentucky, October 17th, 1880. He came to Kansas, April, 1883, and set- tled in Newton where he continued until taken away by death. Himself and wife were both industrious and had managed to secure a very com- fortable home. He embraced a hope in Christ twenty (20) years ago un- der the pastorate of Rev. W. H. Gar- nett, and united with the Second Bap- tist chureh, and was elected to the office of Deacon, and continued an earnest, honest christian to the end. Brother Underwood was also a mem- ber of Fidelity Lodge No. 57 of F. and ‘Accepted Alncient York Masons of Newton, Kans. The funeral services were held from the Second Baptist church. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Garnett. Interment with Masonic honors by Fidelity Lodge No. 57, York Lodge No. 32 of Huthinson, Kansas, represented by Pass. R. W. G. Secretary J. Walker, and Ancient Craft Lodge No. 36 of Wichita, Kansas, represented by Brothers Thomas Glover, W. M. G. L., and George Crouch, 8. W. Brother Underwood leaves to mourn his sud- den demise a wife, one brother, two sisters, many relatives and a host of friends. In the death of Brother Un- derwood the church, the lodge and community have lost a good man, the wife a true husband, the brother and sisters, a loving brother. The Messenger came to him suddenly When away from his cottage home, And commanded the presence of our ' brother, To appear before the great white throne. —REV. W. H. GARNETT. HUTCHINSON, KANSAS. } Mrs. Ben Butler has opened a nice restaurant and is doing well. Elmer White was in the city last week en route to Wichita. The Tabernacle Baptist church, un- der the leadership of Rev. Bates is doing fine. Give them a call. Miss Mattie Vann, of Wichita, is attending school in our city. Professor Boone spoke at the High School on Oct. 31st. Miss Bessie Duval gave a recital in Great Bend recently which was highly enjoyed by all. Her many friends congratulated her for her sue- cess in elocution. One of the pretty weddings of the season was that of Harry McDonald and Miss Kate Scott, both of Great Bend, Kans. They will make their future home in Great Bend. In spite of allheavy handicaps, in spite of pessimistic prophecies, the Negro seems to be emerging from a once deplorable condition and becom- ing a useful citizen in the States where his claims to citizen rights have been most disputed. Race prejudice is an embarrassment, but a man of any race may make a place for himself in the world by earning it. The law of ser- vice is self-administering. A race that 45 years ago owned not a rod of land in the United States tills today 746,717 farms and owns more than half of them. The Negro farm- ‘ers control an acreage nearly as large as New England and produce, $255,- 741,145 worth of crops. While this is but a small fraction of our total pro: duction, it is a material aid to the general property. Without it we should be compelled to pay higher prices for what we eat and wear. This movement toward land ownership and property accumulation is progressing steadily. According to the World’s work, the homes and farms of Negroes increased about 40 per cent between 1890 and 1900. Between 1900 and 1907 they increased 124.2 per cent in North Carolina, 61 per cent in Virginia, and 91 per cent in Georgia, Their church property increased in value 112 per cent since 1890, These figures indi- cate that the Negro has not only made himself useful, but that his production while working on his own account is becoming indispensable. He is also doing much for the promotion of re- ligio nand education. The theory once advanced—that he would be forever helpless and useless without the mas- tery of the white man—became a laughing stock long ago | The Searchlight is still doing bust ness at the same old stand, 630 N, Main St. Come up. | R.A.

There is probably not a more effi- cient County Treasurer in the state of Kansas than O. W. Jones, Treas- urer of Sedgwick County. Very often public officials are elect- ed because of their popularity. Mr. Jones was elected because he is both popular 2nd competent. He under- stands the value of courtesy and ac: commodation required in his office and for good morals of public service he cannot be excelled. His nature, in- stinct and education are to be clean and decent. This with his pleasing manners and his clerical Knowledge of the business will make him a won: derfully strong candidate. Mr. Jones has made every claim of his friends true as to his capability, competency end fitness to fill the office of County ‘Treasurer and his splendid record in that office during the past two years is a flattering recommendation for nim, which entitles him to succeed pimself for a second term, No voter E.E, FITZPATRICK Republican Candidate For Sheriff PREP RELLOLES He will conduct the office of Sheriff in a straight-forward, business manner.

Never in the history of Sedgwick county has the public schools of this county been maintained on a higher plane of efficiency than they have during the past two years under the superintendency of Prof. J. W. Swa- ney. The record made by Professor Swaney has conclusively proven his ability and competency as 2 modern educator and most admirably demon- strates his excellent qualifications to fill the office of County Superinten- dent. Prof. Swaney is the Republi- can candidate to scuceed himself at the November election and he needs no higher recommend to entitle him to the vote of the electors of this coun- ty than the splendid record which he nas made in that office during the past two years, AN INVINCIBLE CAMPAIGNER. Judge Jesse D. Wall, the Republican candidate for Probate Judge, is one of tre most capable men on the Republi- can ticket. He is honest, competent and has every qualification to make him an ideal Probate Judge. Although a, comparatively young man, Judge Wall has built for himself a legion of warm friends of whom any man may well feel proud. As a cai Paigner, he is invincible; as « luwyes, he has ability; as a citizen, be is of the first type; and as a Republican, he is unwavering. In the office of Police Judge of Wichita Judge Wall was o! great moral force for good. His d cisions were uniformly fair and im partial and his records: above Tf Proach. He made one of the les Police Judges Wichita has ever hal —and if elected, which he will be, b* will make one of the best Probate Judges. No man will make a mis take by voting for Judge Jesse ?

EVA CLAYBORNE, V. P. WHO LEADETH ME? Wichita, Kansas, Nov. 2, 1910. Hon. W. N. Miller, Editor Searchlight Dear Sir;—I can not refrain from writing this little article to your paper for publication. Will you favor me in publishing this in the issue of the 5th inst.? The Twenty-third Psalm which begins with the words, "The Lord is my Shepherd", has been paraphrased for the Negro to read, "The politician is my shepherd, I shall not want any good hiting during the campaign. He leadeth me in the joint (?) for my ote's sake; he filleth my pockets with good cheap cigars; my glallast of beer (?) runneth over. He prepares my ticket for me in the presence of my better judgment. Yea, though I walk through the mud and rain to vote for him and shout myself hoarse when he is elected, straightway he forgetteth me, lo. when I weet him in his own office he knoweth me not. And I say, surely the wool has been pulled over my eyes all the days of my natural life, and I ought to kick myself forever." Nuff-ced. I am yours with a hope for your success, etc., F. O'HARA MILLER, M. D. 513 N. Main St. A Queen's Will. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV, was a woman of great plenty and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in-all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid out in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. 1 die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world."—Home Notes. Sensation in "Mystery Ship." Sensation in "Mystery Ship. Sydney, Australia, has had a newvely in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsigned and unannounced. It was peopleled by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The officers were dressed in clerical attire—long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the government medical officer and the harbor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. Book on patents. "Hints to inventors." "Inventions needed." "Why some inventors fail."

There Will Be 46 Pairs 82 Feet High 65 Feet Wide and Seven Pittsburg, Pa.—The largest gates in the world are being built in Pittsburg for the Panama canal. Any one of the 46 pairs will be as high as the usual six-story business building and each will be 65 feet wide steel to be used in their construction will weigh 60,000 tons, or more than eight times as much as was used to build the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The cost will be $5,500,000. The builders the McClinticle-Marshall Steel Construction company, a half of whose independent plant here has been given over entirely to the gate contract. Of the 60,000 tons of steel required the heavies single places will weigh about 18 tons. There will be the base girders, which are seven feet long and which will be placed much like the first floor girders of a skyscraper. The series of girders above them will range from three and eight-tenths feet apart near the bottom to five feet apart at the top, and over the skeleton structure, forming a sheathing, water tight armor plate will be bolted, similar to the clapboards on a house. The thickness of the plates will range from an inch at the base to seven-sixteenths of an inch at the top. The weight of a single gate will be about 600 tons, and the dimensions are 77 to 82 feet high, 60 to 65 feet wide and seven feet thick. THEY GET TARIFF DUTIES NOW When the Steamship Victoria Arrived $39,794 Was Collected From Passengers on Dutile Articles. New York, N. Y. — Trans-Atlantic liners arriving Saturday and Sunday and Monday brought the snug sum of $65,365 to the coffers of Uncle Sam in the way of duties. The steamship Kaiserin Auguste Victoria made a new record on her last westward trip when $39,794 was collected from her passengers on durable articles, which passed by a wide margin the Oceanic's record of $30,000 in 1902. Customs men attribute the increased receipts in a large measure to the rigid enforcement of the laws and the attendant arrests and conviction of smugglers. PLANS FOR LARGER BATTLESHIPS Naval Experts Believe the Next Built Should Be of at Least 29,000 Tons Washington, D. C.—Plan for bigger battle ships with heavier armor will be presented to congress at the forthcoming session by Secretary Meyer when the question of the naval building program is taken up for consideration. Naval experts have practically agreed that the new type of ship—of which congress will be asked to authorize the building of two—will be larger and heavier than the 27,000-ton ships now under construction. The tonnage limit will be increased to at least 28,000 and probably 29,000 when the plans are matured. THE RAILROAD DEATH LIST During the Past Year They Killed 3, 804 and Injured 82,374 Persons in the United States. Washington, D. C.—Killed 3,804 injured, 82,374. This is the casualty record of the railroads in the United States for the year ended June 30 last, according to the Interstate Commerce commission. It is an increase of 1,013 in the number killed and 18,454 in the number injured over the previous year's figu- res. Appeal From "Grandfather" Decision. Guthrie, Oklahoma.—An appeal to the United States supreme court was filed by John H. Buford and John Devereaux, from the recent decision of the supreme court of Oklahoma holding the "grandfather" amendment to the constitution valid and constitutional. Public Ownership Yields a Profit. Washington, D. C.—Sweden's government owned telegraph and telephone systems, with the low rates charged, netted the country $192,000 in 1909, according to E. D. Winslow, United States consul general at Stockholm. The receipts amounted to $458,000, while the cost of maintenance was $268,000. A Cotton Exposition in Waco Waco, Texas.—The cotton exposition will be opened here November 5, to continue for 16 days. The staple in its different stages from the time it is picked until it is manufactured, together with cotton products and the machinery used in raising and manufacturing it will be exhibited. The "Dirt Track King" Killed. Atlanta, Georgia.—Al Livingstone, known to enthusiasts of the automobile racing game as the "dirt track king" died in a hospital here as the result of injuries received at the Atlanta Motor speedway. So Peary Must Go to Work. Washington, D. C.-Capt. Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, will return to active duty in the navy department November 9 as an engineer expert for the department of justice in cases before the court of claims. GONE TO COLLEGE SEMION CLASS NOT KEPT PAGE WITH WORLD OTHER NATIONS HAVE PASSED US IN MILITARY AERONAUTICS. Chief Signal Officer Says We Need at Least 20 Aeroplanes for Army Use. Washington, D. C.—Twenty aeroplanes at least are needed for the United States government service, says Gen. James Allen, chief signal officer of the army, in his annual report. "These aeroplanes should be on regular practice at different points in the country throughout the year," he says. "They should be present on camps of instruction for regular troops and organized militia. Twenty aeroplanes would provide but two for each camp of instruction. To operate this number would require at least 20 specially trained officers as pilots. In addition to this each machine must carry at least one observer, which, experience has shown will require much training and actual practice before the usefulness of the heavier-than-air machine is attained." General Allen deprecates the fact that although the United States was the first nation officially to recognize the aeroplane for military purposes, it has not kept pace with the world in the development of military aeronautics. The aero equipment of the United States army consists of one small practice dirigible balloon, one Wright aeroplane and three small captive balloons, says the general. The signal corps has only one leetenant and nine enlisted men on duty in connection with aeronautics and the chief signal officer says, until the corps is increased by congressional legislation it will be impossible to furnish more officers and men for the absolutely necessary training demanded in airmanship. POOR TRADE FOR STEEL MILLS October Trade in Steel Smallest of Year—Railroads Bought Many Rails and Cars. New York, N. Y.-The steel trade went through the last week of October at low tide. New business of the United State Steel Corporation was less than 50 per cent and of the independent companies about 60 per cent of capacity, but specifications were larger, permitting the majority of the mills to operate at 10 per cent to 20 per cent increased rate. The railroads ordered ten thousand tons of rail and fourteen hundred cars. WOMEN HOBBLED AND BLINDED Memphis Chief of Police Finds Society Women Fall Easy Prey to Memphis, Tennessee.—So many society women in Memphis have been held up and robbed recently that Chief of Police W C. Davis issued a request to women to discard hobble skirts so they can run and protect themselves from thieves. He declares women with hobble skirts and basket hats are at the mercy of purse snatchers, who can easily sneak upon them and commit robbery. Washington, D. C. With the publication of the government's wireless telegraph directory, just out, 1,520 stations, shore stations and ships, are listed. These do not include the warships of foreign governments nor the hundreds of stations operated by amateurs. A Good Safe Saved $28,000. Canal Dover, Ohio.—Robbers broke into the State bank at Bolivar, eight miles northeast of here, and attempted to blow the safe, containing $28,000. They failed because their stock of nitroglycerin was too small. Robbers Overlooked the Cash. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.—Cracksmen blew the safe at the Traders store here and evidently were frightened away before they had finished their job. They left $1,000 in cash in the safe and $2,000 in a nearby vault. STILL SHOWING A DEICIT The National Government Spent $5,000,000 More Than it Received During October. Washington, D. C.—The government's finances took a downward twist during the last three days of October and tricked the experts who had been predicting a surplus for the month and hoping for an even break at the worst. Exclusive of the Panama canal charges, the receipts for the month were $55,266,441 and the expenditures $58,560,323, which left a deficit in ordinary operations of $3,393,882. Add to that sum the month's cost of the work on the canal and $5,295,083 stands on the wrong side of the ledger. The close of September had shown a total surplus of more than $1,400,000 and it was the first time in the present fiscal year that the government took in more than it paid out. FIRST AMERICAN AIRSHIP LINE It Has Been Organized at Cleveland to Operate Between That City and Detroit. Cleveland, Ohio—The first airship line in the United States is going to be organized between this city and Detroit by the Detroit & Cleveland Aero company, composed of the officials of the Detroit & Cleveland Steamship company. This fact became known through the formation of the aero company. The new airship line, will be put in operation as soon as possible. The distance from Detroit to Cleveland is between 120 and 125 miles as the crow files, although the steamer route is much longer owing to the roundabout course which has to be taken. THE GOVERNMENT USED TYPE The Nation's Printing Office Set 1,963, 899,000 Ems—More Than 3,000 Tons. Washington, D. C.—Some idea of the amount of work that is done in the government printing office annually is gained from the figures just completed for the type composition for last year. More than 3,000 tons of type metal were used in making 1,963,899,000 ems of type of every description. If the individual lines of type were placed end to end they would cover a distance of 31,000 miles, or more than one and one-fifth times the circumference of the earth. BONNER CEMENT PLANT SOLD New Company Paid $30,000 When the Property Was Put up at Auction by the Receiver. Kansas, City, Kansas. — The big Bonner Springs cement plant is now back in the hands of the men and women whose money built it. Several hundred men and women who invested in the common stock of the Bonner Portland Cement company, the failed company, bought the plant and the entire works when they were put up at auction by Henry McCrew, the federal receiver. The price of $300,000, fixed by Judge Pollock, which was to cover all liabilities except the company stock, was the purchase price. Eight Killed by Tribesmen: Washington, D. C.—Eight Christians, one an American, and two Chinese have been killed and much property belonging to foreigners has been destroyed by the rebellious Manobos tribesmen in the Phillippines, according to a report from Brig. Gen. Pershing of the war department. Election Board Ruling Final. Guthrie, Ok.—The supreme court by a three to two vote decided that there can be no appeal from the decision of the state election board and that it is not subject to certiorari and similar writs. Editor of North American Arrested. Philadelphia, Pa.—E. A. Van Valkenberg, editor of the Philadelphia North American, was arrested because of an accusation that he had printed against John K. Tener, Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania. HIGHER POSTAGE FOR MAGAZINES The Reading Matter Will Not Be Affected But Advertising Must Pay More. Washington, D. C.—President Taft and Postmaster General Mitchcock reached an agreement on the recommendations the president will make to congress regarding a change in the second class postage rates as affecting magazines and other periodicals. Mr. Tast will recommend that the magazine be required to pay the present rate of 1 cent a pound on all reading matter and a much higher rate, be determined later, on the advertising pages. Each magazine will be required to send a copy of its current issue to the postoffice department each week, or month, as the case may be. There the publication will be dissented, the reading matter and the advertising sections will be weighed separately, and the amount of postage computed by the number of magazines sent out. OIL WAR CUTS THE PRICES Products of the Standard are Being Sold Cheapest Than Ever Kansas City, Missouri.—Because of the nation-wide war which has been started against independent oil companies and small dealers by the Standard Oil company, oil is now being sold cheaper for tank wagon delivery than ever before in the history of the country. This is the claim of the independents. Within the past two weeks prices on illuminating oils have been forced down by the Standard from 7 to $5\frac{1}{2}$ cents a gallon. This is the cheapest that oil has ever sold for in Kansas City. In Milwaukee and Chicago the price is the same as here and in Minneapolis and St. Paul consumers are paying 6 cents a gallon. At this time of year the price has never been below $7\frac{1}{2}$ cents. READY FOR AERIAL WARFARE Germany Has Ordered 40 Monoplanes and Six Aerial Guns Mounted on Motor Cars. London, Eng.—A fleet of 40 monoplanes has been ordered to be completely finished by early spring for the German war office. At the same time six serial guns have been ordered from Krupp's each to be mounted on a 60-horse power motor car. These guns will shoot a sort of bursting shrapnel to any height up to 12,000 feet and the detoning force is to be sufficient to wreck or capsize any aerial machine yet constructed if the charge explodes within 100 feet of it. The shells will leave the trail of smoke showing the track they have taken so that it will not be difficult to correct the range immediately. The guns can fire 24-eight pound shells per minute. GAVE 10,000 ACRES FOR A PARK Mrs. Harriman Transfers to State of New York Part of Arden Estate. Newburgh, New York.—In accordance with the plan outlined by her husband, the late E. H. Harriman, Mrs. Mary W. Harriman gave to the state of New York 10,000 acres of land, a part of the Arden estate, to be incorporated in the Interstate Palisades Park. At the same time a gife of $1,000,000 was made by Mrs. Harriman for the development of the park and the preserve was further increased by the transfer to the park commission of 700 acres which had been intended for the new state prison on Bear Mountain, but which by act of the last legislature was ceded to the park. CUDAHY SEES CHEAPER MEAT The Milwaukee Packer Predicts Drop of 25 Per Cent in Prices of Pork in the Next Year. New York, N. Y.-In the opinion of Patrick Cudahy there will be a drop of ten per cent in the price of beef and 25 per cent in the price of pork within the next year. Mr. Cudahy is a meat packer of Milwaukee but is not connected with the Chicago firm of his name though he belongs to the same family. He finds basis for his opinion in the abundant corn crop. For several years farmers have found it more profitable to sell their grain than to feed it.

SOME POLES ARE ANIMELY EASY. IT REALLY MAKES ME SICK. WHEN I'M NOT PLEASED THE LIV THINGS GO, I JUST PUT UP A KICK. AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED IN A DAY "In the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as if I could pull them apart. In the morning the itching had gone to my chest and during that day it spread all over my body. I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. I happened to see about Cuticura Remedies, and I thought I would give them a trial. I took a good bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. It put it on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone. I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and during that day the itching completely left me. Frank Gridley, 325 East 43rd Street, New York City, Apr. 27, 1909."

When you are tired out and your nerves are on edge, try going off by yourself and losing yourself in some good story. You will, in nine cases out of ten, come back rested and invigorated. One woman who has passed serenely through many years of hard work and worry that go with the managing of a house and bringing up of a large family of children, said that she considered it the duty of every busy housekeeper to read a certain amount of "trash," light fiction, for the rest and change to the mind that it would give. Try it, you who lead a strenuous life, and who sometimes grow exceedingly weary of the same. "Kln by Marrlage." A caller was talking to a small Harlem girl who is extravagantly fond of her mother. She likes her father well enough, but he is far from being first in her affections. The caller, knowing the situation, asked the child why she didn't love her father as she did her mother. "Oh, you see," she explained, loftily, "he is only kin to us by marriage." A good honest remedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia and Sore Throat is Hamilins Wizard Oil.

It is true that many thousands of city dwellers who have in the natural love of the country a love for a home with grounds and gardens are unable to have what they desire for various reasons, principally because of a lack of means. City dwellers are compelled for the most part to live in flats or apartments with never a look at trees or grass. Privacy, so much to be desired, is shut off by a common hallway, and the tramping of feet overhead is a constant reminder that the place is not a home but merely a place to stay. The whole idea of the builders of city "homes" is to economize space and get all the rooms possible on a green piece of ground in order to gain revenue. All sight is lost of the artistic, and everything must bend to the one purpose of income. The occupants live along and constantly dream of a little cottage with a few vines and a garden place in the back yard, and a place for the children to play where they will not be under the constant espionage of a janitor with a grouch. This is all wrong and it is unnecessary. You may be a salaried man. You may think you cannot do any different. You have not the money to buy the ground it is true and authorize a builder to put you up a house such as you want. You have always thought that even if you bought a house you must take one already made by some real estate firm and pay their high price. Now, listen. The real estate man has selling expense. He has advertising bills, office rent, clerk hire, maintenance of salesmen, and many other expenses in addition to his profit that figure in the price of any given house. 1111 it is safe to say that this real estate man would be glad to eliminate this expense if he could make a deal that did not involve all these factors. He builds to sell. Suppose you were to take him the plan of the house shown here and say: "Now, you are in the business of building and selling houses on small payments. You want your customers satisfied. Probably you are going to build a number of houses in the next few months. Now, here is a house that just suits me. If you will build it I will take it on the same terms you would ask for one that you might build from some other plan. I will sign the contract now." There is no probability that the ordinary real estate man would refuse PORCH PANTRY 19'6"X4'0" CL SINK KITCHEN 13'6"X12'0" BED RM 12'0"X11'0" CL DOWN PASS LIVING ROOM 16'0"X16'0" DINING RM. 13'6"X12'0" PORCH 28'6"X6'6" First Floor Plan. Your terms. And what would you have? You would have the same house you would get if you owned a lot and built on it. Now, the house shown here is one of the popular bungalow types of houses and is especially attractive on account of the fact that the porch is included under the roof of the house. Nor is it expensive. This house is thirty-one feet six inches wide and thirty-three feet long. It has an attractive porch with strong walls. The design is one that will make every person look at the house as he passes by and it is one that will always sell if at any future time conditions should arise that would cause you to want to dispose of it. That you cannot do with a house that has no individuality like this one. There is a large living room sixteen feet square and at the right of this is the dining room thirteen feet six inches by twelve feet in dimensions. The kitchen is reached from the dining room through a passageway. This is a good arrangement, for the reason that all smoke and steam from the kitchen will be kept out of the dining room.

On this floor are two bedrooms, which with the one on the first floor pro provides three in all. The bathroom is located at the end of a hall that extends through the house, thus assuring plenty of air on summer nights through the windows at each end.

Antl-Handshaking Society. In Paris they have been seriously discussing the advisability of forming an anti-handshaking society. Its members, so it is suggested, should only be pledged to avoid this form of salutation during the summer months. But when once it is started it is believed, and sincerely hoped, that the practice of grasping all and sundry by the hand will be permanently discouraged. There is a good deal to be said on both sides. To have a hot and moist hand clasp one's own on a day when one is already suffering all that seems possible from the heat is distinctly trying, to say the least. Furthermore, there are many people whose hand-shake leaves one with a feeling of having touched a fish or something creepy-crawly. One looks forward to their clasp, if it can so be described, with a positive sense of horror, and it is almost with difficulty that one refrains from covertly wiping the hand after the operation.—London Lady's Pictorial. Consort for Kalser's Daughter Princess Victoria Luise, the only daughter of the Kaiser, recently attained her majority. She is 18 years old. Germans think that they have not long to wait before hearing what prince has won the heart and hand of the Kaiser's daughter. Her name has been frequently connected with those of the ex-King of Portugal and an Austrian-archduke, but the Kaiserin's intense Lutheranism is considered a bar to the Princess's union with any non-Protestant prince.

HIS LIVELIHOOD AT STAKE Certainly Candidate for Governor Could Not Expect to Get That Vote. An incident in which former Governor Odell of New York figured as the victim was told by Col. James Hamilton Lewis at a recent banquet. "When Governor Odell was last running for office," said Colonel Lewis, "there had been a great deal of talk about Niagara Falls and the electrical power that could be conferred on all parts of New York. One day an old negro halted Mr. Odell and said: "Mr. Odell, is yo' runnin' for governor, sah? "I am,' answered the candidate. "I guess yo' want my vote, den,' said the colored man. "Well, I would like to have your vote, Zeb. I have known you for so many years." "Well, I jist want to ask you a question, Mr. Odell, befo' I give mah vote to you. Are yo' for electric lights in dis town?" "Well, Zeb, I am for all modern improvements," said Odell, with a slight flourish. "Well, sah, I can't vote for you," said Zeb with firmness.

About six years ago, I was dangerously ill, consulted three doctors, all of whom said I had kidney trouble. One of the doctors analyzed my urine and reported that I had gravel, and further said that in order to regain my health and life, an operation would be necessary. I did not want to be operated on as I was afraid that I would not recover. Someone told me of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said it was a reliable medicine for kidney trouble, so I decided to try it and went to Mr. Rose, the druggist, at 803 Central Ave, Minneapolis, and bought a bottle, took it, noticed results and continued taking it until I was entirely cured. Having been free from any kidney trouble for over six years, I consider that I am absolutely cured and know that Swamp-Root has the credit. I never fail to tell my friends about your remedy, as I believe it is the best of its kind. Your U & O Ointment is also very good. We are never without a jar in our house.

But is this really as novel as it is supposed to be? I recollect hearing some time ago of a doctor who said to a patient who was under examination: "I can see by the appearance of your right eye what is the matter with you. You are suffering from 'liver.'" "My right eye?" asked the patient. "Yes," returned the doctor. "It shows me plainly that your liver is out of order." "Excuse me, doctor," said the patient, apologetically. "My right eye's a glass one."

A HOWLING SUCCESS The Halloween Masked Ball at Masonic hall, Monday night, Oct. 31st, was a howling success. The hall was not only packed but the crowd filled the vestibule and the hall-way. The hall was tastefully decorated. A cash prize was awarded. Manager J. H. Sayles was very much pleased to see that the people appreciate his effort to give them a first class dancing academy. One of the features of the evening was the new dances introduced by Mr. J. Williams of Kansas City, who will be out in the future during his stay in our city. The Monday Night Dancing Academy is here I ostay an will be conducted every Monday night at Masonic hall. The next big event will be the Christmas Banquet and Ball, Dec. 26th, in honor of the Academy. This will be swell. Watch for further announcements.
