A. will be held at Masonic Hall Sunday at 4:30 P. M. Mr. W. C. Coleman, manager of the Hydro-Carbon Company, will address the meeting on the Y. M. C. A. Convention recently held at Toronto, Canda. Many things were discussed and considered by this convention that were of vital importance to the welfare of the Association and especially to the Colored department. This will be one of the most important meetings the Association has ever held and it will pay every member and friend to be present. Many other good speakers are to appear before the Sunday meetings so in order to keep in touch with the onward march of the institution every member should attend every meeting. Every person who attended the meeting last Sunday at Second Baptist Church voted it the greatest ever held by the Y. M. C. A. The speech delivered by Rev. J. W. Somerville was soul-stirring and made many men who were outside the church wish they were on the other side. About 30 men asked to be prayed for and it is the hope of the Directors and Secretary that these men may be won for the Church. Last Friday the Y. M. C. A. football team met the strong Langston University team on the University campus and met defeat by the score 11 to 5. Considering that this is the boys' first game they feel that they made a good showing. That they are improving is shown by the second game which was played in Guthrie with the same team. This time the Y. M. C. A. boys played Langston to a standstill, the final score being 0 to 0. The bright star of these games was Clifford Rickman who played full-back. Whenever he had the ball he was sure to gain ground. On Thanksgiving day Langston will play here and a good game can be looked for as this will be playing off the tie. Mrs. Carr is training a company of young folks to give a play entitled "The Heart of a Hero." This is a strong play and will be given early in December. Wednesday afternoon the ministers of the city met at the Y. M. C. A. room and formed an organization with Rev. Fishback as president, Rev. Edwards, vice president, and Rev. Smith as secretary-treasurer. A union Thanksgiving service will be held at the A. M. E. Church on the morning of Thanksgiving day. Rev. G. W. Smith of Second Baptist Church will preach the sermon.

It is concerted ann united effort on the part of the Negroes in Africa to force their oppressers to concede them a man's chance in the battle of life! It is a movement that shames the mighty intellegence of the American, Negro. Our missionaries tell those Africans of far-off heaven to be enjoyed after death. Those heathern ask, "What about enjoying some of this earth on this side of death?" Boys the joke's on us! Let the band play! OLD HICKORY. Help The Negro Girl To Rise Hark! I hear a woman weeping; Don't you hear as she cries, Mothers fathers, friends and neighbors Help the Negro girls to rise. Do you realize her troubles? Do you wonder why she sighs? She is loaded down with trials, As she makes attempts to rise. When she looks around for helpers, Looks to those who should advise; Often they are quite indifferent, Though they know she wants to rise Wheresoe'er her duties call her, Remons, clothed in human guise; Are at work at night and daytime To retard her let she rise, Mang a whirlpool of temptation, In her pathway ever lies; It requires the strength of a Herculean If she manages to rise. God of heaven! Thou who hearest, And rewards the soul that tries, Hear us in this, our petition; Help the Negro girls to rise. Help us to resist temptation, Help us to be good and wise; Strengthen us in every weakness, Help the Negro girls to rise. The Fourteen Errors Of Life The fourteen mistakes of life Judge Rentoul told the Bartholomew Club are: To attempt to setup your own standard of right and wrong and expect everybody to conform to it To try to pleasure the enjoyment of others by our own. To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. To look for judgment and experience in youth. The endeavor to mould all dispositions alike. Not to yield in unimportant trafles. To look for perfectioo in our own actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remdied. Not to alleviate if we can all that needs the alleviation. Not to moke allowance for the weakness of others. To consider anything impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasy. To live as if the moment, the time the day were so important that it would live forever. To estimate people by some outside quality, for it is that within which makes the man. An Illinois man has placed the following inscription upon the monument at the head of his wifes grave, "Talked to death by her friends." Mr. Phillips claims that gossipy neighbors worried his wife to death by giving her advice and troubling with the silly chatter of society doings. This is probably the only epitaph of the kind in the world though Mss. Phillips is by no means the only woman who has been talked to death by society, sissy cats. NO.31 Church Consecration St. Augustine Mission Episcopal church, 9th and Washington will hold the consecration of tneir church, Sunday Nov. 20th.

Everyone is cordially invited to attend each of these services. TO HESITATE LONG IS TO FAR Successful Business Man Must Have Attribute of Courage. Many a man falls because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When do you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the quality of courage was so absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others. Success Magazine. R. A. B.

Finne Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the town in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finnas. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finn's book—Ladies' Pictorial. ELECTIONS HELD IN MANY STATES; THE DEMOCRATS MAKE BIG GAINS ```markdown ``` $TUBBS WINS IN KANSAS BUT MAJORITY IS GREATLY REDUCED. OKLAHOMA GOES'DEMOCRATIC Returns Show That Republicans Have Lost Control of National House of Representatives—The Majority in Senate is Reduced. Oklahoma is Still Prohibition. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—Governor Stubbs has been re-elected governor of Kansas, but by a greatly reduced plurality over George H. Hodges, the Democratic candidate. Reports have been received from 99 of the 105 counties of the state and they show a probable plurality for the governor of 10,000. This conclusion is based on the unofficial count and estimates received at Republican and Democratic state headquarters from the county committee chairmen and the newspapers. The entire state ticket won by about 25,000 plurality over the Democratic candidates. In the 99 counties Stubbs is given a total plurality of 20,367, and Hodges a total plurality of 10,934. This gives the state to Stubbs by a total plurality of 9,433. The missing counties are nearly all western counties which gave Stubbs fairly good proportionate majorities in the last election and in the primary, and as the Republicans won in most of them for the legislature it is expected that the governor will gain a considerable plurality in these precincts. It may not be enough to bring his total to the 10,000 mark, but it will be close to it. The balance of the state ticket is elected by safe majorities. Kansas will return * full Republican delegation to congress. Two of the members are well known stand-patters, but all the others are insurgent congressmen. All the congressmen were elected by such substantial pluralities that there is no doubt concerning any one, although the figures are not available for each candidate in every county of the districts. J. N. Dolley, chairman of the Republican state central committee, gave out the estimated majorities for each congressional candidate today: First district—Anthony .....10,000 Second district—Mitchell .....2,500 Third district—Campbell .....1,300 Fourth district—Jackson .....2,000 Fifth district—Rees .....1,800 Sixth district—Young .....1,000 Seventh district—Madison .....2,500 Eighth district—Murdock .....20,000 The house of representatives may be Republican after all, but it will be by a very small majority. Reports have been received from 99 of the 125 representative districts. Of these 50 are Republicans and 48 Democrats one doubtful, but probably Republican. There are 26 districts yet to be heard from. Most of the counties which are missing on representative were carried by Stubbs and it is believed that of the 26 districts yet to be reported the Republicans will elect at least 20 of the representatives, which will give them a majority in the house. But there is no certainty about this, as in many counties that Stubbs carried the Democratic representatives were elected, and in Hodges counties Republicans were elected. If the political preferences of the counties remain the same on representatives as two years ago the Republicans will have 68 members in the next house. GEORGE H. HODGES. Democratic Candidate for Governor of Kansas. Parson's Defeat First Reported. Washington, Nov. 8.—The defeat of Representative Parsons, Republican, in the Thirteenth New York district was the first loss of a sitting member of the house reported up to 9 p. m. Borland Is Re-elected Kansas City, Nov. 8.—Congressman William P. Borland, Democrat, of Kansas City, has defeated Howard F Lea, Republican, for representative by a majority estimated at 5,000 votes. WALTER R. STUBBS. Governor of Kansas. THE VOTE IN OKLAHOMA Oklahoma City, Nov. 9.—Lee Cruce of Ardmore has been elected governor of Oklahoma, the Democrats having gained one congressional seat from the Republicans, and the remainder of the Democratic state ticket seems elected. The Republicans may have gained the lower house of the legislature, in which there was a Democratic majority of only 14 last term. None of the proposed constitutional amendments was successful. The majority of Cruce probably will be in the neighborhood of 25,000, although later returns may increase or reduce this. Democratic leaders claim his election by 30,000 to 35,000, and he states that his report assures him of 30,000, but Republicans are unwilling to concede him a majority of more than 15,000. Congressman Bird McGuire and Dick T. Morgan, Republicans, have been re-elected, but Congressman C. E. Creager, Republican, in the Third district, has been beaten by James F. Davenport by about 1,500 votes. Charles Carter and Scott Ferris, Democrats, were elected in the Fourth and Fifth districts respectively, by about their former majorities. McGuire's majorities in the First district was in the neighborhood of 2,500. Morgan's plurality is unknown, as complete figures in his district are unavailable. The race, however, was close. The woman suffrage amendment seems to have been defeated by a large majority, the eastern side of the state, in which it was advocated by United States Senator Owen, giving a large majority against it. The proposed amendment to the constitution giving railroads the privilege of purchasing the property of other roads, apparently has been defeated, as was also that proposing to distribute the corporation tax funds among all school districts of the state. No interest was taken in Campbell Russell's New Jerusalem bill, and the vote on that proposition was light with a majority against it. No estimate can be made on the result of the referendum election measure passed by the legislature and referred to the people. Probably 40 per cent of the negro vote of Oklahoma was polled today, in spite of the grandfather clause limitation, according to reports received at Republican headquarters. At Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Kingfisher, Chandler and other western, Oklahoma cities only a few brief educational tests was required of the negroes, though many who could read and write stayed at home rather than submit to the humiliation of the requirement. A damage suit was started late today against election officials who denied T. Cofield, an ex-slave, who can not read and write, permission to vote. Damages of $2,000 are asked and the papers will be filled in federal court tomorrow. As a test case this will probably go to the United States supreme court. Indians Disfranchised. In western Oklahoma several thousand Indians were deprived of their votes under the gradfather clause, including large numbers of Pawnees and Osages. WOODROW WILSON ELECTED Trenton, N. J., Nov. 8.—Returns from the election in New Jersey today were slow coming in tonight but figures obtainable at 10 o'clock indicated the election of Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, for governor, the only state office to be filled, by between 10,000 and 20,000 plurality over Vivian M. Lewis, Republican. Most of the early returns were from Republican strongholds, and while they showed Lewis to be in the lead, a falling off in the nominal Republican vote was indicated on which the Democratic claims for Wilson's success were based. "Beaten to a Frazzle." New York, Nov. 8.—The following telegram was received at Tammany Hall tonight from a Democrat in Colonel Roosevelt's own district in Oyster Bay: "Roosevelt's own district—Dix, 218; Stimson, 158. Beaten to a frazzle." CALEB POWERS ELECTED. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8.—The Republicans elected two of the eleven Kentucky congressmen today. Caleb Powers was one of these. NEGRO MINISTER BARRED. Trouble Threatened at Tulsa, but Officers Prevent Clash. Tulsa, Okla., Nov. 8.—Serious trouble was threatened here today when C. W. Nelons, a negro and a Methodist minister, was refused the privilege to vote. A large crowd gathered around the voting booth and a clash seemed imminent when officers dispersed them. Nelons caused the United States commissioner to swear out a warrant for the election officials who denied him the right to vote. Nelons, who is well educated, being able to read Latin and Greek as well as English, declared he would carry the fight to the highest court in the land. MANY ELECTION ARRESTS McAlerest, Okla., Nov. 8.—Fifteen election officers in McAlerest were arrested today charged with refusing to allow negroes to vote. They were released on bond and returned to their positions. Later all complaining witnesses were arrested and this was followed by the arrest of 15 Republicans charged with false swearing in connection with the application of negroes for the ballot. District Judge Cole issued an injunction restraining the United States commissioner from issuing and deputy United States marshal from serving warrants for the arrest of election officials. United States Judge Campbell advised the commissioner and marshals to ignore the injunction. But little rioting was reported in the state today and the expected trouble because of the disfranchisement of negroes by means of the granfather clause did not materialize. A number of arrests of election inspectors occurred, and in some instances the Democrats retaliated by securing the arrest of their accusers and Republican leaders. Violence was reported in several sections, but upon investigation it was found that the reports were groundless. Probably less than 40 per cent of the negro vote of the state was disfranchised and in the western section of the state a number of "blanket" Indians were disfranchised. J. B. Stimson Explains Defeat. New York, Nov. 8.—Henry L. Stimson attributes his defeat to causes nation-wide and a general movement of the Republican party toward progressiveism. “There seemed to be a ground swell all over the country,” he said tonight, “and I was caught in it. I think it's only the beginning. We're beginning to have a realignment of political parties, and the Republican party is going through the agony of becoming progressive. “The returns speak for themselves. I have nothing to regret. We've had a good clean fight. I was surprised that I ran so well and with the rest of the ticket.” Mr. Stimson first conceded his defeat at 8 o'clock this evening. An hour and a half later he sent a telegram to John A. Dix, congratulating him on his election. The Republican candidate received the returns at his personal campaign headquarters in the Manhattan hotel. With him were his wife, his father Lewis A. Stimson, and relatives and friends, including Regis H. Post, former governor of Porto Rico, and his law partners. Dalzell is Re-elected Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 8.—Early returns from the Thirtieth congressional district outside the city of Pittsburg indicate the return of John Dalzell (Republican) to congress by an increased majority. Roosevelt Loses Own District. New York, Nov. 8.—Returns at a late hour indicate the election of Martin W. Littleton, in the First New York congressional district, containing Oyster Bay. Only Republican Overwhelmed. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8—Georgia returned the usual solid congressional delegation today. Early returns indicate that Walker Akerman, the only Republican candidate, was overwhelmingly defeated. Jackson Leads Stubbs Osage City, Nov. 8.—Complete returns from this city give Stubbs 249, Hodges 195. Jackson's majority over Martin was slightly greater. [Picture of a man with a long white beard and a dark suit, facing slightly to the right]. J. J. McALESTER. Lieutenant-Governor-Elect of Okla homa. J. J. McALESTER. Lieutenant-Governor-Elect of Oklahoma. DEMOCRATS WIN ROOSEVELT'S OWN DISTRICT. Remainder of State Ticket Probably of Democratic Complexion and Republicans Lose Several Congressmen. New York, Nov. 8.—John A. Dix, a business man and the first Democratic nominee elected in 16 years, will be the next governor of New York. He was chosen by the people today, over Henry L. Stimson, Republican, for whom Theodore Roosevelt stumped the state, by a plurality based on nearly complete returns of from 55,000 to 65,000. New York City gave him a plurality of more than 100,000 while Stimson came down to the Bronx with about 40,000, leaving a substantial lead for the Democratic nominee. Thomas F. Conway, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, appears to have been swept into office only slightly behind Mr. Dix. Returns were lacking late tonight to show who takes the lesser state offices, but indications point to Democrats. The normal Republican majority upstate was greatly reduced. The inclement weather tended to cut down the rural vote and Stimson's estimated plurality to the borders of New York City—about 40,000—is less by approximately 89,000 than the up-state vote polled by Hughes in 1908. Representative Herbert Pearson, a life long friend and political associate of Theodore Roosevelt, and formerly chairman of the Republican county committee, was ousted by Jefferson N. M. Levy. Representative W. W. Cocks, of Nassau county, Theodore Roosevelt's home seat, was tipped out by Martin Littleton. William S. Bennett was defeated for congress by Henry George, a son of the political economist. Sereno E. Payne, father of the tariff bill, was re-elected, but his home town, Auburn, went to Dix; and Vice-President Sherman's candidate for congress was defeated by a Democrat. Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican, gave ground to Richard E. Connell, a Democrat. Not only did Colonel Roosevelt lose on the state ticket, and his candidate for congress in Nassau county, but his home town went for Dix. New York rolled up a plurality for Dix of more than 100,000, but this was reduced by the up-state vote, which, however, fell far below the expectations of the Republican leaders. Stimson Congratulates Dix. New York, Nov. 8.-At 9:30 p. m. Mr. Stimson sent the following telegram to Mr. Dix: "The present returns clearly indicate your election. I congratulate you and send you my good wishes for success of your administration." PETER H. BURKE J. W. McNEAL. Republican Candidate for Governor of Oklahoma. J. W. McNEAL. Republican Candidate for Governor of Oklahoma. Republicans Lose Another. Philadelphia, Nov. 8.—The Republicans met with an unexpected defeat in the congressional fight in Philadelphia. William K. Foulkrod, Republican, was defeated for re-election by Michael Donahue, a Democrat, who was also on the Independent ticket in the Fifth congressional district. The vote is close. Democrats Carry South Carolina. Columbia, S. C.—Democratic state and congressional tickets were elected by usual majorities. THE NATIONAL RESULT Republicans Will Have Eight Less Seats Than the Present Minority Party. Democrats elected ..... 225 Republicans elected ..... 164 Socialists elected ..... 1 Doubtful district ..... 1 Democratic majority in house, 29 Complete returns on the election of representatives in congress indicate the Democrats will have a working majority of 29 in the next house with an actual majority of more than 60. The number of Democrats elected to congress, according to the latest returns, which are of an unofficial character, is 225. The Republican representation will be 164 or 165, or nine seats less than the Democrats now have in the Sixty-first congress. The outcome of the United States senate is now definitely settled. The Republicans are assured of 16 new senators, which with 34 holdover senators, gives them a total of 50. The Democrats are assured of 15 new senators, which with 25 holdovers, gives them a total of 40. Two senatorships are still in doubt, namely, the successor to the late Mr. Dolliver in Iowa, and of Mr. Carter in Montana where there is prospects of a tie. These determined totals, however, leave Republican majority in the senate as follows: Total membership, 92; necessary to majority, 47; Republicans, 50; Democrats, 40; doubtful, 2. HARMON WINS BY 100.000? His plurality Now Estimated at 98,000. Democrat Gain State Ticket. Cleveland, O., Nov. 9.—Governor Judson Harmon, Democrat, rolled up a plurality of 88,000 over Warren G. Harding, Republican candidate for governor, according to figures compiled by the Plain Dealer tonight from 85 of the 88 counties in Ohio. That when theofficial count is complete Harmon will have over 100,000 plurality is extremely probable. Harmon's plurality is the second largest ever given an Ohio candidate for governor. The largest plurality previously given to a Democratic candidate was to John M. Patterson in 1905, who won by 40,647 votes. The success of the remainder of the Democratic state ticket is no longer in doubt. BEVERIDGE LOSESS OUT Indianapolis, Nov. 9.—Senator Beveridge's hopes for another term went glimmering tonight when returns showed conclusively that the Democrats had elected a majority of the Indiana assembly. According to the latest figures, the Democrats will have a majority on joint ballot of 32. John W. Kern has been indorsed by the Democrats and in all probability will become the colleague of Senator Shively, also a Democrat. IOWA SAVED TO REPUBLICANS. But Majorities of Two Years Ago Are All But Wiped Out. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 9.—In yesterday's election in Iowa the political complexion of the state remains unchanged save that the big Republican majorities of other years were all but wiped out. Tonight, with returns in from 85 out of 99 counties, Governor B. F. Carroll's plurality is estimated at from 10,000 to 13,000. The remainder of the Republican ticket was elected. Mack Voted Republican. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 8.—Norman E. Mack chairman of the Democratic national committee, today voted the straight Republican ticket. It was an error but it could not be rectified. Subsequently he told of the joke on himself. "I wanted to see how fast I could vote my party ticket on the voting machine," he said. "It was somewhat dark in the booth and in my haste I pulled the wrong lever and voted the Republican ticket. I immediately announced to the election inspectors my error and asked permission to correct the mistake, but, of course, the inspectors would not permit it." Missouri Wet by 100,000. Kansas City, Nov. 8.—The Kansas City Star at midnight said the Democratic state committee reported James A. Reed had defeated David R. Francis for the Democratic nomination for United States senator. The Star estimated that the state probably had gone wet by about 100,000 votes. Chairman McKinley Elected. Rock Island, Ill., Nov. 8.—The Fourteenth Illinois congressional district has elected James McKinley (Republican) Republican national chairman. Democratic Majorities Larger. Austin, Tex., Nov. 8—The entire Democratic ticket for state offices has been elected by majorities larger than those given Governor Campbell two years ago. All Democratic congressional nominees were elected.

Theodore Roosevelt was at home all evening, but he declined even to re- ceive interviewers. Kermit Roosevelt appeared at the door when, at 9:30 o'clock, an attempt was made to see the colonel. “The colonel has absolutely nothing to say,” said Kermit.

When Kermit was informed of the returns from Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Connecticut, he turned abruptly and hastened into the house to tell the news to his dad. The probable attitude of Colonel Roosevelt, in view of the result of the election, can be judged only by what he has said the last few days. In his speech at Davenport, Ia., last Friday he said if the Repubticans were beaten this time they would win next time, and that, win or lose, the fight would goon. Just after he pad voted today he said again that whether the result was favorable or not, the “party would keep up the fight.” He has made it clear that he regards today’s election as only a step in a fixed program and so far as the New York state situation is concerned he believes his victory over the “Old Guard” has placed the party in a posi tion from which it can go steadily ahead.

Describes Little Animal—Serv- ‘ants Afraid of Him. Pets are of all sorts. One of the Most amusing and attractive is de scribed by Eha in his “Naturalist on the Prowl.” This little animal was lemur, and besides many gentle and caressing ways, it seemed as if it possessed @ certain sense of humor. Bays Eha: eee ee examine its pretty nails. Each hand had one long, sharp claw. Such a curious arrangement puzzled me, un- til one day a fiea showed me the use of that claw. It bit the lemur under the ribs. I expect the little beast had reason to be thankful that nature had spared one toe when it promoted it to the order of four-handed animals. ‘There never was a more charming pet. He took life so gayly, and the antios were so original. When my man Jet him out of his cage in the morn- ing, he would scamper straight to my bedroom, look round with large eyes brimming over with mild curiosity, and, lightly as a rubber ball, spring to my dressing table, where he would ex- amine everything. Then he would ound across the bed and land on my shoulders, handle my ears gently, won- ‘dering what was in the hole, and thrusting in his long tongue to find out. That was beyond human endurance, and I would roll the little fellow into a ball, wind his long, fully tall about him, and fling him into the bed. He would be unwound in a moment, and would skip away to explore some more. His hind legs being longer than his fore, he walked slowly, with his head down; but when in a hurry he would stand up and bound along like a kan- garoo, tall in the air, arms extended, fingers spread, looking Mke nothing one ever saw. The servants regarded him as un- canny, and fied at his approach. He would give chase, and there never was finer sport than to see the fat butler in full flight up the long stair way, with the gleeful little demon after him, three steps at # bound— Youth's Companion .

A paper—"Some things the young American Negro as a race Must do so Secure Better Positions in Life" by Mr. O. T. Taylor, was especially good as were the general discussions which follows. A Mock trial will be the feature for next week's program. The indictment of Mr. J. W. Thompson in breach of promise suit. The election of delegates to the Interstate were: R. B. McWilliams, Dr. H. T. Bolden, Miss Irma Clark; alternates, Mrs. F. O. Miller, H. Perry, Miss L. Covington. Everybody is urged to attend on next Wednesday evening. The members of the G. L. A. Clnb held their meeting Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. L. Harpers, after the business meeting a dainty lunch was served. All the clubs of the city are requested to meet at the Second Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. to make arrangements for the city Ferderation. Dr. Booker Washington said, in course of his lectures through Tennessee, that the white people could aid the better clats of Negroes in getting rid of the worth less class of theer race by closing the back doors of their kitchens where the duke Negro gets his nightly support. This ought to be a signal of warning, to the colored women who occupies the position in the kitchen. It also ought to be a lesson to some of our so-called high class colored women and girls who have been reported by the cook that they are guilty of making their calls at the back door of the white man's kitchen to see the house Negro man get their nightly support from him. GEORGE MILLER DEAD. Geo. W. Miller, one of the prominent colored men of our city died at his late residence, 1024 N. 5th. St. on Saturday night, Oct. 29th, 1910.

Gear Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "laid out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an ill-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdoings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'

A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from far and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Said an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary?

Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norien's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. in one section along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relies has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its senile were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of decorativeness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day surpasses it. --- Send for the S. P. C. C.

There is something romantic about such little houses, for the reason that they usually are owned and occupied by the newly married. No young man who is thinking of getting married can do a wiser thing than to have his own home at the start, even if it is a very modest one. This article is addressed, therefore, to the young clerk who does not get more than $15 a week who has saved up possibly $600 and has found the right girl. She will have to be one of those sensible girls who is thoroughly in love with the young man and willing to start out in "a cottage built for two." Usually, you may have noticed, young couples who pull together and begin life that way soon have a more pretentious house as a result of their team work. There is something touching and pathetic about the little house. It appeals to the THE HOME OF THE HOME OF THE HOME passerby as the abode of sincere people who have disdained to live in a rented house and who, despite their meager means, have an independent spirit. It is this spirit of independence that wins the way to greater things and even to wealth later on in life. Some of the greatest men in American life have come from "a cottage built for two." The struggle possibly to pay even for the little modest house and the discipline resulting from it have led to greater endeavors and consequent success. Home does not consist in gilded walls and imported marble. The house, after all, is a mere framework of the home, and the home itself lies in the affection that dwells inside the walls. Never forget that. The aspiration to own a home is a natural result of that nesting instinct inherent in all animals. It is more highly developed in human beings in many beautiful forms. So, if you are a struggling clerk and the one of all others who you think was intended for you is of the same mind you are thinking of the new home. Maybe you have hesitated about engaging the minister because you could not provide "her" with a house as elaborate as some others in your town. Well, it all depends on the stuff you two are made of. If you want to begin there is no reason why you should not start in "a cottage built for two." Later on there will be more in the family and then you can add another room, but no matter how poor you are, if you have enough to justify you BED ROOM 11'6" x 15'6" In getting married you can have a house and not pay rent. And no man should get married unless he can do this. There is a spirit about a house owned by the occupants that is entirely different from that which pervades the rented house. No matter how modest the house may be the owner has a little bit better standing in the community than the man who lives in a rented house. His neighbors regard him as a fixture, in the first place, and if he is paying for it on installments he has got to stay or lose what he has in it. It is healthy to get into debt for a home if you do not overreach your income. Look out for that. The mayor of a large town told the writer that he never would have been worth a cent if he had not bought some real estate on time with a small payment down. He had to struggle to meet the payments and often did not know where the money was coming from, but it came some way and he finally had his property clear. You see, he had to make his payments to protect what he already had in. If you wait till you have the money in bank to pay for a home complete the chances are you never will have one, for the money will go some other way. Get into debt—reasonable debt—for a home, and you will be surprised how easy the struggle will be. Now, this house can be built for $400. Though it is small it has a neat appearance, and we will venture to say there will be happiness in it. The house is sixteen feet six inches wide and twenty-eight feet six inches long, exclusive of porches. It would be well if possible in choosing a site for this little house to place it on a lot of fair size and at one side to allow for a lawn and flower beds THE HOME OF THE MAYOR which will add much to the attractiveness. Chairs for the Hobbled. "You know those rubber rings that are fastened to the bottom of chair legs, sometimes half a dozen one on top of the other, to raise the chair high enough for a child to sit at the table," said the gestaurateur. "Well, we are using them by the dozen, not to boost children, but to give the women with tied-in skirts a chance to sit down. High chairs, so the well informed tell me, prevent their knees from poking through the material; therefore high chairs are necessary equipment in every restaurant that caters to well dressed crowds. The style is too ephemeral to warrant buying a lot of long-legged chairs, so we simply elevate a part of those we already have by means of rings and reserve them for the hobbled women." Great Britain's New Colnage. With reference to the suggestion that the inscription of Britain's new coinage should be in English instead of Latin, one may recall a precedent. During the Commonwealth, most of the coins minted bore English inscriptions, and an Irish half-penny issued by Charles II. bore the English words "God Save the King." It was Charles II, by the way, who first provided copper coinage, while Henry III. was responsible for the introduction of gold into the mint. As early as the PORCH PANTRY KITCHEN & DINING ROOM 12'0"x15'6" CH Plan. reign of Edward III. the coinage was stamped with a ship to celebrate the victory of Slugs in 1340, a point to be remembered by those who advocate the restoration of Britannia's ship to the new coppers.

Insurgents are Gathering in the Interior and President Davilla Has Appealed to United States. San Salvador, Honduras—A general rebellion has broken out in Honduras and insurgents are gathering in the interior, according to reliable dispatches received here. It is likely that resident Davilla will appeal to the United States or to the Cartego court to take charge of his administration, as his government is in no condition to meet a crisis at this time. Valadores who refuses to be removed from Amapala, is still in control of his fortified island. Valladeres' defiance to President Davilla was not the result of a caprice, it appears now but the result of a careful revolutionary plan. The rebellion is backed by a clique of adventurers who have never had any direct interest in Honduras. General Medina, dismissed port commander at Cebia, is one of the chieftain, and Matuty, the Peruvian who was with Estrada is here with Lara, the soldier of fortune who fought with Madriz and Zelaya. It is believed that these leaders expect to lead an attack on Teguicpula soon. That President Davilla is unable to cope with the revolution is show by his abandonment of his attempt to dislodge Valladeras at Malpa. JUDGESHIPS SOLD IN NEW YORK An Attorney Declares That Money Helps Men to the Supreme Court Bench. New York, N. Y.—That it is the common understanding in the legal profession that seats on the supreme court bench are bought in the guise of campaign contributions, and that even $180,000 has been paid for the ermine, was the declaration made by Frederick R. Coudert of Coudert Brothers, a firm of high standing at the New York bar and of international fame. Mr. Coudert said: "I do not believe that Justice is sold in New York, but I know that judgeshins are. "The debasement of the supreme court bench through the system of selecting men not for their eminence in the legal profession, but because they are organization men and can be of service to that organization, presumably is one of the worst features of our civic life. It is thoroughly well understood in our profession that the only way to a seat on the bench is through the good will of a political boss. "It also is thoroughly well understood that seats on the bench are bought, not outright, perhaps, but through the guise of campaign contributions made by the candidate himself or by some friends of the candidate. A WORLD CLINIC IN CHICAGO More Than 2,000 Surgeons Assemble There for Two Weeks' Demonstrations in Twenty-One Hospitals. Chicago, Illinois. — In twenty-one hospitals of Chicago there is held demonstrations of every branch of the science of surgery that will continue for two weeks and that have brought to the city more than 2,000 of the leading surgeons of the world. The idea of this great clinic originated with Dr. Franklin H. Martin, managing editor of Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, and was adopted with enthusiasm by the profession. Headquarters are at the La Salle hotel, where tickets are issued and notice of the clinics posted. The program, prepared by the local medical societies, provides for six evenings of literary discussion of surgical subjects. Many social affairs have been planned, including a reception of Dr. Alexander Hugh Ferguson Tuesday night, reception for the surgeons and taelr wives November 15 and a smoker November 17. A REPRIEVE FOR DR. CRIPPEN The Man Accused of Wife Murder Will Not be Executed Until November 23. London, England—It was officially announced that Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore, would not be hanged as originally arranged for the reason the law provides that two weeks must elapse between the dismissal of an appeal and the carrying out of the sentence. The date for the hanging has been fixed for November 23. Meantime Solicitor Newton, Crippen's counsel, is drafting a petition for a reprieve. Holds Inheritance Tax Void. Knoxville, Tennessee.—The state supreme court handed down an opinion holding the inheritance tax act of 1909 to be unconstitutional. The act provides that all property inherited either by will or descent was subject to an inheritance tax. Soldiers in Corn Fields. Junction City, Kansas.—The soldiers at Fort Riley are coming to the aid of the farmers in this and adjoining counties, who cannot get corn huckers. About 50 of the soldiers have secured furloughs and are in the fields. Population of Iowa Decreased. Washington, D. C.-The population of the state of Iowa is 2,224,771 according to the enumeration of the thirteenth census. This is a decrease of 7,082, or 0.3 per cent over 2,231,855 in 1900. THREE SANDWICH RECIPES Chicken, Japanese and Ribbon Varieties That Are Really Good Enough to Eat. Chicken.—Chop the white meat of chicken very fine, then pound to a smooth pulp in a mortar. Season to taste with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a little lemon juice and spread upon thin slices of lightly buttered bread cut in fancy shapes. The covers to these slices are spread with butter, into which are pressed almonds or English walnuts sliced or chopped very fine. Put together and press. Japanese Sandwich.—This is made of any kind of left-over fish, baked or boiled. Pick out every bit of skin and bone and flake in small pieces. Put into a saucepan with a little milk or cream to moisten, add a little butter and dusting of pepper. Work to a paste while it is heating, then cool and spread on thin slices of buttered bread. Ribbon.—These are made in different ways, carrying both bread and filling according to fancy. For instance, take six thin slices of bread buttered on both sides. Spread layers of deviled ham or chicken between, then press the entire sandwich. Slice crosswise, making thin, ribbonlike sandwiches; or use alternately slices wafer thin of white and brown bread, with a filling of cream cheese and chopped nuts or olives. ALLAROUND the HOUSE A plateful of grated Parmesan cheese is served in many households with macaroni or spaghetti instead of cooking the cheese with it. If you haven't a shoehorn drop your handkerchief into your shoe before inserting the foot, then pull tight and it will slip on easily. Medicine stains on silver spoons may be removed by a rubbing with a rag dipped in sulphuric acid and then washing it off with soapsuds. When the color of a dress has faded, owing to stains from lemon or other acid fruit juice, a good idea is to touch the spot with liquid ammonia, which usually will restore the color. Raw potato grated and applied to a burn will give almost instant relief. Another good remedy is butter and then baking soda. It is said that if a little oil of peppermint is dropped into mice holes it will keep them away, as the odor is obnoxious to them. The most hygienic duster is a damp fabric that is soft and free from lint. Cheesecloth and chamois dampened are both good for different purposes. Cheese Toast. Cut from a stale loaf of bread six slices about one-half inch thick. Beat one egg into a cupful of sweet milk and add one-half pound of good cheese and a tablespoonful of butter. Put this mixture in a clean saucepan, set in a pan of boiling water, and stir until quite smooth. Place the toast on a hot platter and cover with the dressing, to which should be added a pinch of cayenne. For a change this dish may be placed in the oven until a rich brown. This is excellent for luncheon or for a dinner course. Beef Cake. The remains of cold roast beef—to each pound of cold meat allow a quarter of a pound of bacon or ham—seasoning to taste of pepper and salt, one small bunch of minced savory herbs, one or two eggs. Mince the beef very finely, add to it the bacon, which must be chopped very small, and mix together. Season it, stir in the eggs—two if one is not sufficient—and make it into square cakes about half an inch thick; fry them in hot dripping and serve in a dish with gravy poured round. Cleaning Precaution. If you do not want to make rings on material cleaned with gasoline, naphtha, or other cleansing fluids, put blotting paper underneath or hold the fabric rather tightly over a thick Turkish towel or folded pads of cheesecloth or other soft material. If this is neglected the dirty fluid that soaks into the material fails to be absorbed and spreads badly. Orange Pudding. Peel and slice a half dozen oranges, over which sift one cup of sugar.

Potatoes and Sorrel Added to Familiar Tomato Blisque—How to Use the Water In Which Fowl Has Been Boiled. In the fall the housewife's fancy seriously turns to thoughts of soups. With the first few whiffs of snappy autumn air the stock pot acquires an interest which it has lacked for at least three months, while the daily menu becomes longer by one hot, wholesome course. When reinstating soup to its proper dignity this year it would be an excellent housewifely study to vary it to a greater extent than in former seasons. The average first course is extremely limited in point of variety, and good and tasty recipes are so numerous that it is a pity this should be the case. While fresh tomatoes are still with us, try a variation of the familiar tomato bisque. Have the fruit weighing just a pound, and cook them in salted water, with either three or four white potatoes (peeled, of course) according to size, and have a bunch of sorrel in the water. When soft, rub them through a sieve and heat again with some butter. Add the seasoning liked, boll up yet again, and serve with toast fingers. Any poultry stock makes a good soup in capable hands. And by poultry stock is meant not the extracted juices of a whole fish, but simply water in which the biped is boiled. This is the method followed by one adept manager to use up the superfluous liquor when serving boiled fowl. To a pint and a quarter of the latter add just a little celery, a mere sliver of onion, a saltspoonful of pepper corns, and a teaspoonful of salt to taste. When it has reached the boiling point, slimmer it slowly half an hour, and afterward strain. Prepare the usual blend of flour and butter, gradually pour on to it the boiling liquid. Add one cupful of milk and season with salt and pepper. If the yolk of one egg is slightly whipped, thinned with a tablespoonful of the soup, and added to the pottage proper it makes for additional richness. In such case it must be served immediately, or it will curdle. Artichoke soup is less known than many other vegetable broths which are less choice. Following is a reliable recipe for it. In a tablespoonful of good butter fry a white turnip sliced thin, red onion ditto, three pounds of Jerusalem artichokes, washed, pared and sliced, and a thin slice of bacon. Stir these in the hot butter for ten minutes, and gradually add one pint of stock. Season to taste, strain and press vegetables through a sieve, after which add two cups of boiling milk, reheat and serve. One of the many uses of a can of salmon is a soup easily whipped up on washday or to eke out a scanty luncheon menu some time. Remove all bits of skin and bone and mash the fish in a bowl to a paste. Mix together two cups of veal broth with the same quantity of sweet milk and bring to a boiling point. Cream together two tablespoonfuls of flour and one of butter, and with it thicken the stock, stirring smooth. Add the fish, boll up once more and serve. The same rule can be used when there is a pound of fresh boiled salmon in the larder to be pickled over, and it is equally delicous with hall-but Good and appetizing, too, especially noteworthy in a household where there are school-going appetites, is cream of sago. For it is the sago, after being thoroughly washed, is soaked three hours or more. A quart of white stock is put in the soup pot with a small onion, a bay leaf and a parsley spray and is slowly simmered for 30 minutes, after which the greens are removed. A pint of cream or milk is brought to a boll and is thickened in the usual way with blended butter and flour. This thickened milk is poured into the boiling stock, seasoned and the pottage is ready for immediate appreciation. Olive Salad. Mash two anchovies and add them to French dressing. Stone 24 olives and chop them rather fine. Cut one boiled beet into dice. Chop a small cucumber pickle. Line a salad bowl with lettuce leaves, sprinkle over the gherkin, then the olives, then the beet and potato. Dust with salt, paprika and white pepper. Chop two hard-boiled eggs very fine and place them over the top. Sprinkle lightly with three tablespoonfuls of sherry wine, pour over the French dressing, toss and serve. Boiled Tripe. Wash half a pound of tripe then boil up in water, drain, cool and cut into small pieces. Put these with one cupful of milk, one cupful of water, two sliced onions, season with pepper and salt, and let simmer for two hours. Mix one heaping tablespoonful of flour with a little cold milk, add to the tripe, stir until it boils, then let it simmer for another 30 minutes. Cream of Squash. Peel and boil squash until tender, add one onion, mash through a colander; to every cup of squash add one cup of milk; put in a small lump of butter, season with salt and pepper; serve hot.

Hill, 188 W. 10th St., Waterloo, Iowa, says: "It makes me shudder to think of my awful suffering. I was languid and weak and never free from dull pain in my back. My hands puffed and my feet became so swollen I could not wear my shoes. The kidney secretions were painful and frequent in passage. I gradually grew er free from dull pain in my back. My hands puffed and my feet became so swollen I could not wear my shoes. The kidney secretions were painful and frequent in passage. I gradually grew weaker until the doctors gave up hope. It was then I began with Doan's Kidney Pills and soon improved. Continued use cured me." Remember the name--Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. RATHER FAST. "What is the fastest run your auto ever made?" "It ran me $200 in debt the first week I had it." AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING "Just about two years ago, some form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was a slight itching but it grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with blood. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, in a painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tangled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was in despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my finger-tips would be bloody. I could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain—would commence and then I would wake up nearly wild with the torture. A neighbor said it must be salt rheum. Having used Cuticura Soap merely as a toilet soap before, I now decided to order a set of the Cuticura Remedies—Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them according to directions for perhaps six weeks, then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradicated, but toward spring, eleven months ago, there was a slight return of the scalp humor. I commenced the Cuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment in all. The first time I took six or seven bottles of Cuticura Pills and the last time three bottles—neither an expensive or tedious treatment. Since then I have had no scalp trouble of any kind. Standing up, with my hair unbound, it comes to my knees and had it not been for Cuticura I should doubtless be wholly bald.

A quick-witted boy, asking food at a farmhouse too recently ravaged by other hungry fishing truants, was told that he was big enough to wait until he got home. "Of course, if you have children with you—" hesitated the kindly woman of the house, and was immediately informed that there were six children in the party. "No, I don't tell a fib, neither," was the indignant protest later drawn forth by the condemnation of one who had shared the good bread and butter thus secured. "Fib nothin'. We're children six times over. We're children of our father and mother, children of God, children of our country, children of the church an' children of grace. Teacher said so last Thursday, and I guess she ought to know." The Test of Time Benjamin Hapgood Burt and U. S. Epperson of Kansas City were motoring in Long Island the other day and stopped at Evan's hotel in Douglaston. They ordered large quantities of raw oysters, some of which were thrown aside by the oyster opener. "How do you determine when an oyster is bad?" asked Mr. Epperson. "You wait a short time and if you have ptomaine poisoning the oysters were bad," said Mr. Burt. "If you are not ill they were good. That's the only safe way to tell good oysters from bad ones." A Condition, Not a Theory. A sociologist in conversation with a practical person from the middle west concerning the labor problem in her part of the country thereby learned the lesson of the situation. "Are there many men out of work?" he asked. The lady admitted that there were quite a number. "What," said he then, "do the unemployed do?" "Nothing," said the lady. "That's the trouble."—Youth's Companion. Good Arrangement. A genial looking gentleman wanted an empty bottle in which to mix a solution, and went to a chemist's to purchase one. Selecting one that answered his purpose, he asked the shopman how much it would cost. "Well," was the reply, "if you want the empty bottle it will be a penny, but if you want anything in it you can have it for nothing." "Well, that's fair," said the customer; "put in a cork."

To the Newspaper Fraternity, Greetings:— the W. N. P. A., will convene at Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 25-26, 1910. We are desirous of having, if possible, every Negro Journal published within the bounds of the western half of the country, send a representative to participate in the deliberations of the session, and make it the most enthusiastic and profitable meeting ever held. There are now before the American people, and particularly the Negros, many momentious questions which vitally concern the civil, moral and political, present and future of our race, and our press being the mouthpiece and moulder of public thought and sentiment, should be in unison and accord on all such questions. The Western Negro Press Association is a medium thru which a happy solution and analysis of the race's advancement, civil and legal rights may be agreed upon, and serve a field of usefulness that no other organization can possibly serve. It has, in its history of fourteen years, in several instances of great public and national problems, demonstrated its power and influence.: It is composed of men and women who have made a record for race loyalty, progress and attainment; who are alive and wide awake to the needs of the race. Our meeting at Muskogee will be an epoch-making one, and will be attended by many noted men and women of our race from every section of the country. The citizens at Muskogee are making special efforts to welcome and entertain the Association with a genuine hospitality, and each and every frater is cordially requested to be present and share in the generosity of the citizens of Muskogee. Take your Thanksgiving vacation at this time and to this place and on this occasion. Write A. J. Smitherman, Vice President, Muskogee, Okla., for programs or desired information. Yours for the race. HARRY R. GRAHAM, Chairman Executive Committee, Quindaro, Kansas EASY LESSONS IN DRAWING By FREDERICK RICHARDSON ( Instructor in Composition and in Charge of Illustration Classes in the Art Institute, Chicago. ) The series of articles is supposed to have covered the training of the pupil from the first school grade through his high school years. It has been devised to give the pupil with no particular talent for drawing an expression by drawing that makes the least command upon such talent and to give the pupil with talent an outlet as free from restraint as guarded from the evils of imperfect training Jack the G ```markdown ``` Jack the Gigaat Killer.

Scene Covered by Series. is not expected to supply a proper school training, but to prepare a pupil for such a course at the proper time if the talent developed should warrant. If it has left unanswered the questions which naturally arise in the case of the pupil who never could learn to draw well by any ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` A man in a hat sits on a bed, looking at a dog in a cage. Whittemoon and His Cat motted, it has given enough positive material to permit that pupil to to the most with his mastered ability. It has substituted for an friske and useless technical training for me and hand a harmless diversion for the mind and imagination. Our pretension has been made to accomplish the impossible with pupil to teacher. If the temperament was Pirates ```markdown ``` A boy and a girl are rowing a boat in a lake surrounded by trees. there it has been the endearer to each, just the restrictions that would not, as they must, with music, poetry or any art which lies with the clerk few. By eliminating the absolutely impossible and leaving the possible and fairly probable the work has done that it could for the average condition. Particular cases might have been slightly helped by particular treatment, but those were not the important cases. It may be the --- sacrifice of the hopeless to the salvation of the possible. In this respect it is the hope that the teacher has read between the lines in the earlier articles, where real and supposed criticisms were given, and has followed the suggestion through the later articles, where the work has apparently neglected the weak and turned to the cultivation of the strong. inat Killer. It has sought to relieve the teacher of demands by leaving to the chance talent of a class of pupils the development of sufficient merit to serve as guide for the rest of the class. To this end it has been reiterated that in the strength of the strong work of the class lies the best instructive element of a drawing class. Story-Telling Work. To whatever degree the high school ```markdown ``` work, as begun with the story-telling pictures of the last few articles, may be pushed it is to be carried along the same lines. The simplified forms are to be given that any may draw them, the best combinations of them within the teacher's ability given where the pupil is not to invent all of his picture, the pupil to take his material forms and invent new com- Bold. binations, the result of the class work be compared and criticised and the rest of the pictures to serve as examples for the rest of the class. Many suggestions have been made for the cultivation of observation, imagination, and these should be interspersed from time to time to give variety and interest. The teacher will find that so many temperaments exist that a large class that the subjects must be varied to give each a chance Pirates Bold. The realities toemake him succeed where the poster was talk Imagination is not given to all Prettiness and triviality may be the limit of some, while others have no feeling for anything but the prowess or the humorous. Do not look for a high decorative sense where a plain everyday statement is to be expected. In short, the teacher may wish to teach art, but all pupils are not tended for artists. It is much easier to talk art for artists than it is to talk art for the artistic. Art School Training And here is a word for the teacher or parent who finds that the training that has so far been followed has resulted in what seems to be fair promise of talent. What seems to be a fair promise of talent is often a very deceptive exhibition of superficial ability, as our art school will testify. But if this trial of the talent is to be made take the pupil at an early enough age to insure his plasticity and place him under the severe academical training of a good art school. The question of a good general education, college or otherwise, answers itself. The future artist needs that as anyone needs, and it is not to be lost sight of before entering or after the art school is entered. Once in an art school, time should be allowed for the supposed talent to proclaim itself or the mistake will be discovered. The talent that is worth the while will recognize the necessity of its cultivation by academic training and will adjust the relation of its expression to the means by which it is to be gained. Object drawing and the training of the eye and hand will here stand in their proper places, as was stated when it was said that they had little place in the public school as usually taught. The time for any looked for result is so variable with conditions art temperament that any limitation would be deceptive. In any art school such advice ought to be found which could reliably answer the question for the individual case. Illustrations Given. The Illustrations given are from the story subjects suggested two weeks ago. Their symbol form may be reduced by the teacher before giving the instance of combination to the class. THE FLOWER INDUSTRY. Was Had Rapid Growth in the United States in the Last Thirty Our country is much behind England in orchard houses, vineries, pineries and so on. This is the case for two reasons—first, the extent of our territory, and, second, advance in this direction being unnecessary because of our rapid transit. But in the growing of roses, violets, carnations and certain vegetables we are ahead of any other country in the world. This industry has a rapid stride during the last 30 years, due to the increase in wealth and population and the demand for greater variety of fruits and vegetables. As the demand increased specialization became necessary, and horticulturists no longer exist who grow various kinds of plants in large quantities. They are divided into three classes, the growing of flowers, ornamental plants and vegetables. Roses, carnations and violets have seen the greatest advance in flower culture. The annual sale in this country is from $6,000,000 to $7,000,000 worth of cut roses, which represents from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 flowers. The industry has been most developed in the neighborhood of the largest cities. The carnation comes next in importance and the most successful greenhouses are in the vicinity of New York and Chicago. There are annually produced and sold in this country from $4,000,000 to $4,500,000 worth of carnations, or from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 blooms. Before this impetus to flower culture came violets were raised almost entirely under outdoor frames of cheap construction, but as the demand increased these became impracticable and were supplanted by cheap greenhouses. There are about 500,000 square feet of glass devoted to the culture of this flower in the vicinity of Pougbkeesie and Ralnebeck alone. The value of the crop of vegetables is much less than that of flowers, but still then are 5,000,000 square feet of glass devoted to this industry. Under favorable conditions this will bring to the owner an average of 60 cents per square foot. Sudden Change Two commercial travelers, one from London and one from New York, were discussing the weather in their respective countries. The Englishman said that English weather had one great fault—its sudden changes. "If a person may take a walk one day," he said, "attired in a light summer suit, and still feel quite warm. Nest day he needs an over coat." "That's nothing," she said. The American. "My two friends, Johnson and Jones, were once having an argument. There were eight or nine inches of snow on the ground. The argument got heated, and Johnson picked up a snowball and threw it at Jones from a distance of not more than five yards. During the transit of that snowball, believe me or not, as you like, the weather changed and became hot and summerlike, and Jones, instead of being hit with a snowball, was-or-scared with her water!"
