YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER FOURTEENTH YEAR A New Industrial School Savannah, Ga. (Special)—An industrial school for Negroes, to be patternee after Booker T. Washington't institute at Tuskegee Ala., will be established in Savannah by next September, if the plans of prominent Negro educators and ministers do not miscarry. A tract of twenty-two and a half acres located in Central park, two miles on the White Bluff road has been donated for this purpose, there being a proviso in the donation calling for the erection of a school building not to cost less than $3,000. The Negao miuisters of the Meth odist church here have undertak en the task of carrying out the provisions of the gift. Rev. Richard D. Stnson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute for Negroes of Atlanta is in Savannah for purpose of looking over the situation here. He has been urged to take the principalship of the proposed new school, and his inspection of the tract of land and investigation of the possibilities today will determine his acceptance or refusal of the proffered position. In the event of his refusal to accept the place he has promised to secure an efficient and capable man The Atianta school of which he is now head is a strong one and is doing very effective work. It is doubtful if he would want to give up that school to become principal of one here. He has confidence, however, that the new school in Savannah would prove a success, and he will closely identify himself with its organization whether or not he decides to become its principal. Reverend Stinson is one of the best trained and most prominent Negroes educators in the South and the Savannah ministers who are behind the proposition feel they could not get a better man to launch the new school. Negro Endows School Jackson, Miss.—A Negro whose name is withheld has just given a $7000 tract of land in Coahoma County to Campbell College, a Negro institution. The income from the land is to pay expenses of poor students. Claisification Of The Races Of The World. So much is being said concerning the "yellow peril" and of the increasing intelligence of all of the dark races that a brief summary of the population of the world as divided between the white and the dark or colored races is peculiarly interesting The whites include the Hindus Persians, Greeks, Latins, Celts and Anglo-Saxons, or all the people of Aryan stock, who number approximately 690,000,000 while the dark or colored races include 630,000,000. Mongolian or yellow people; 150,000,000 Negro or black; 35,030,000 Maly or brown and 15,000,000 Indian or red, a total of 830,000,000 people of the dark races as compared with 690,000,000 whites. The difference of 140,000,000 in favor of the dark races seems to be a cause of serious apprehension in certain parts of the world, and it is thought that the militant stride of the Japanese will be copied by the Chinese and prove a source of inspiration to the other dark races. From every quarter of the globe comes disquieting news. Even in this country, where the Negroes gave 240 or more years of unrequited toil, they are treated as aliens and through the process of elimination on account of color they share the humiliation of the Japanese and Chinese. But the dark skinned people throughout the entire world are awakening. The cloud of ignorance is rapidly passing away be fore a favorable breeze of intelligence. They are asking the whites for a square deal, and it is feared by the "alarmists" that within the course of a few years the request will grow more intistent and finally take the form of a demand. After that what? Edward Price of Dothan Ala. woy is said to be the largest Negro merchant in the state, has recently built in the heart of the business district a substautial brick structure, 50 by 125 feet. two stories high. The cost of the building and ground is $10, 000; the yearly volume of the business amounts to $30,000. Jefferson City, Mo.—The state legislature appropriated $6,500 for a Home for Negro Girls. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1911. Tuskegee Commencement Tuskegee Alabama May 1. The annual Commencement Exercises of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, will begin on Sunday May 21st, with the delivery of the Commencement Sermon, by Bishop John C Kilgo, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. These exercises promise to eclipse in point of attendance and interest, that of any previous Commencement at the institution. The Seventeenth Anniversary Exercises of the Phelps Hall Bible Training School will be held Monday May 22nd at 7:30 o'clock p.m. in the Institute Chapel. One of the most interesting events of Commencement Week is that of the Trinity church Boston Prize Contest, which takes place on Tuesday May 23rd in the Institute Chapel at 7:30 p.m. The special Commencement Dao Exercises on Thursday May 25th will begin at 10:30 a.m. after drill by the entire battalion and a second session in the afternoon at 2:00 p.m. concluding with the delivery of the annual Commencement Address by Judge Robt. H. Terrel of the Municipal Court of the Dlstrict of Columbia. Among the graduates on program will be Julius Freeman of Wilson N. C., and Acie Jones of Thomasville Ga., the Valeditorian and Salutatorian, who will speak on on Industrial as well as on Academic subjects. There will also be a panoramic display of the trades, illustrating the work as actually carried on in the different shops and divisions of the school. The various divisions of the school will be in operation during the week and on May 25th. Visitors and friends of the institution will have ample opportunity to inspect the work of the students. Special arrangements have been made for the accommodation of all visitors, and probably a great many people will take advantage of this opportunity to visit the institution. Open, round trip, reduced railroad rates can be secured to reach Tuskegee during Commencement. For the convenience of visitors attending this occasion a special train will be operated from Montgomery to Tuskegee and return, and also from Opelika and intermediate points to Tuskegee, on May 25th. Colored Soldiers For National Guard. Assemblyman Cuvillier has recently introduced a bill in the legislature at Albany N. Y., providing for the organization of a regiment of colored men. The measure has already received the favorable consideration of the war department. The colored citizens of New York city and vicinity have been advocating such a measure for the past six months. The addition of a regiment of a thousand colored soldiers to the national guard of New York will mean much. More Loyalty Needed. Loyalty to one another is needed more by the Negro than any existing race. They are scattered and will not cling together in many instances. And as long as they fall apart, the chances are slim for a powerful race of black men in America. As a rule, the Negro will not support his own enterprises, he rather support those of other races, and he seeks to overthrow the Negro in business by disseminating improper and untrue remarks among the people, that are in most cases emphatically impressed upon their minds. You must wipe out this grudge and prejudice among yourselves You must deal with one another as other races to and be loyal. Senator W. O. Bradley of Kentucky, has introduced a bill to appropriate $250,000 to aid in holding an exposition in celebration of the semi-centennial anniveusary of the freedom of the Negroes in this country. There is little likelihood that the bill will pass. Chicago Ill.—Cononel John R. Marshall heads the list of eleven officers of the Illinois national guard to attend the school of instructions at San Antonio Tex. Commissioner Leach Deserves Much Credit. City Commissioner E. M. Leach, head of the park and public buildings has appointed Thos G. Banks as elevrtor man at the City building; Spencer W. Lee as custodian of the City Hall. Each of these are representative creditable places and in the case of elevator man and custodian of the City Hall and Eorum these are entirely new places for colored men. We extend to Mr. Leach due credit and we believe that every colored person in our city fully appreciate this mark of recognition extended them by Commissioner B. M. Leach. A Good Session.

Rosamond's Freshman By JANE OSBORN (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) "Isn't that a perfect Turkish corner, now?" exclaimed Rosamond Goodwin, looking with pride and amusement at the work she had completed. "An 1840 horsehair sofa, covered with an imitation Bagdad rug, a Japanese lantern, an Indian arrow, and a French saber. Did you ever hear of such a combination in your life, Miram?" At the end of the Cook met Rosamond There was a look on her face that did in the man before nothing of the youth of the poor student and her sister had p all through the sumn "I would like to "Why, it doesn't look badly at all, and it certainly livens up the room," replied the sister, who was arranging a row of worn books in a small bookcase. "Besides, he will never know the difference—boys never do. And, Rosamond, don't you think it will be nice to have these old books of ours in here—"Arabian Nights" and "Gulliver's Travels" and "Pilgrim's Progress" and those? I'll just put them here as if we had accidentally left them, and it will make it seem like home to him." "Oh, Mirlam, what a funny idea!" exclaimed Rosamond, as she threw her arms about her sister's neck. "Isn't it just the jolliest thing that ever happened? And I know he's going to be such a nice boy. I can just imagine how he is going to like your gingerbread and coffee cake, and custard pie. Boys always like sweet things." "Yes," went on her sister with the excitement of anticipation, "and sometimes we will leave things for him to eat in his sitting room here, so that when he comes in late at night he won't have to go to bed hungry. I suppose he will be going to lots of the college things at night. I have had an extra night key made for him, you know." Rosamond had sunk to the floor at her sister's side and the two sat laughing together. "Of course," said the elder, suddenly grave, "we mustn't let him know that he isn't working his way. He can sweep the walks and mow the lawn and tend to the fire and the ashes—" "Yes," agreed Rosamond, slowly, "but if he ever forgets, and of course he will, we mustn't say anything about it. Of course, he will have to study hard and take in all the college sports. I know he will be interested in everything." This was the afternoon of Freshman Cook's arrival, and the last finishing touches of the preparation, that had been going on for months, for their expected guest, were in process. Rosamond, nearly thirty, and Miriam somewhat older, had decided the previous spring that they would like to help a poor student. They lived in a college town where their father had, before his death, been a professor, and in the college were focussed their interests. Even Rosamond had long since given up college games and dances, but student life was still an ever vital source of interest to the two women. They had little money, but they had a large house where they might easily accommodate an extra person. They had asked the kind-hearted president of the college about it and he had seemed pleased with the idea. "There are always young men," he told them, "who are waiting for such assistance. If you will put it on the basis of self-support I think I can get you a freshman worthy of your kindness. Let him do all the work about the house, attend to the furnace, shovel the snow, run errands, and anything that a boy or man could do. This will not repay you in full for your expense and pains, but it will put the matter on a more acceptable basis. There are always desirable boys waiting for a chance to work for their education, but few like to accept it as charity." Later a note came from the president telling of a Daniel Cook, an applicant for the freshman class, who was greatly in need of assistance. His college course would be impossible but for this timely assistance. On this brief note and a knowledge of Stanton college freshmen in general, Miriam and Rosamond Goodwin made preparations for their guest. Now everything was in readiness. The supper table had been set with the extra place, and the silver candle-sticks, fitted with fresh pink candles, stood waiting to be lighted. Her work done, Rosamond sat on the old, vine-covered veranda, trying to fix her mind on the book open before her, but in reality planning a dozen plans for Daniel Cook, whom she had already come to regard with fond indulgence. A man carrying a suitcase was walking up the driveway—a stoop-shouldered man of thirty or more. "A book agent," muttered Rosamond, impatient. As she stood before her she caught the look of eagerness and expectation. In a flash she realized that it was Daniel Cook. At first Rosamond covered her disappointment and Mr. Cook concealed a smile as he saw the carefully furnished rooms that had been set aside for him. He explained simply and impersonally how his education had been cut short in his boyhood, and how after his thirtieth birthday he was ready to begin his college work—to fit himself for the future he knew lay brilliant before him. He had at times almost despaired, he told them, of going on with his plans, until the president told him of the present chance of earning his board. At the end of the second day, Mr. Cook met Rosamond on the veranda. There was a look of disappointment on her face that did not escape him. In the man before her there was nothing of the youthfulness, or spirit, of the poor student for whom she and her sister had planned and saved all through the summer. "I would like to speak to you a moment," he began rather nervously. "I think I came here under complete misunderstanding. I thought there would be enough work to do to pay for the privileges I received. I hardly understand what the arrangement is to be." "You can mow the lawn," suggested Rosamond helplessly, almost tearfully. Mr. Cook laughed. "See here, Miss Goodwin," he said, "you know you don't want me to stay. You weren't planning for an old bookworm like me. I knew that the moment I saw you. I'll get along somehow." "But how can you?" asked Rosamond. "You can't afford to live at the dormitory, can you? Do you want to go?" For a minute Mr. Cook studied the ground in meditation. "I'll tell you what I'll do," he explained. "I can't accept your kindness unpaid, and I really can't make good now. If you and your sister will let me stay, and do all I can for you, I'll beg to be your debtor till I get enough money to pay back. If you agree, you'll be helpag of one the most grateful men living. Meantime, let me do all I can." After a consultation between the two disappointed sisters it was settled as Mr. Cook desired. The fault lay with the president of the college, and, of course, no one thought of blaming him. By mid year Daniel Cook had successfully passed examinations in two years' work. He had been over the work before by himself and all he needed now was a chance to prove that he was fitted for his degree. Toward June Daniel Cook knew that his degree was won, that within a few weeks he would have gained what he had waited, and struggled, so long to get. A second unexpected honor came to him. A position as assistant instructor in the college was opened to him, so that he might continue his post-graduate studies the next year and at the same time earn a fair salary. Before Daniel Cook accepted this honor he came to Rosamond and laid it all before her. She was sitting on the old vine-covered veranda where she had first seen his disappointing figure eight months before. "I'll accept on one condition," he said, and as he looked into her face he saw the color mount high into her cheeks. "I already owe you everything, my degree, my happiness, my future—but I am not satisfied. Rosamond, I want to owe you more. I want you. I want you to love me and to let me spend my whole life proving my gratitude and devotion." Rosamond clasped for the first time the hand stretched out to her in both of hers. "You know," she said, "I am too happy to tell you." Bunching His Hard Luck. "Philosophers are not all dead yet," said the dentist. "I met one this morning who knocked me out ow two hours' work on a day when I have nothing to do anyhow, and will make me work overtime tomorrow, when I shall be crowded with engagements. He was howling with a toothache. 'Better come around and have it attended to,' I said. 'Can't today,' he said. 'I'm too buay. 'But you can't work when you are crazy with the toothache,' I argued. 'Oh, yes I can,' said he. 'There are half a dozen other things I want done to me that hurt pretty bad, and if I have them done when my tooth is on the rampage they won't seem so bad, because one hurt will neutralize the other. I always take advantage of a toothache to dispatch those disagreeable jobs.' "Maybe not many people could stand that kind of philosophy, but apparently that man is going to get away with it." Pity the Neighborhood Druggist. "We do not charge stamps or postal cards," announced a sign in a drug store. "Surely customers don't ask you to," a customer said, struck by the novelty of the sign. The clerk replied: "You'd be surprised at the things we are asked to do. We are asked not only to charge stamps but to deliver them as well." Just then a mald entered carrying a package to send by express. "Mrs. Dollars says will you please send this package for her and charge it," the maid said, and walked out. The druggist, after telephoning for an expressman to come for the parcel, had to pay express charges of nearly $1. "I always thought Nippers was a freak." "Indeed?" "Yes. He has been abroad six months and hasn't sent me a single souvenir postcard." THE AMERICAN HOME W·M·A.RADFORD EDITOR THE HOME OF THE MAYOR Mr. William A. Radford will answer of stions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. The best citizen in any community is the man who owns his home. It has been said that the foundation of the best society is the hearthstone, for upon it has been erected the greatest glory of the world's greatest achievements. It indicates stability, sturdy character and honest worth. A people without permanent homes never become a nation, but remain a tribe. It does not progress, but stands still and deteriorates. It cannot have the highest sense of morality, because the home is the bulwark of morality. If this is true, as appears, we owe a great deal indeed in this country to the real estate operators, the speculative builders. Seventy-five per cent, of all the small and medium-sized dwellings put up in the larger towns and in the city suburbs are built by them. Those houses are not built to the specific instructions or requirements of particular clients, but the speculative builder aims to provide a house that will be generally useful, or at any rate, generally salable. Now, this is a perfectly legitimate and by no means an unreasonable method of providing for the needs of a community. The requirements of a great number of families are very much the same and there seems no reason why a builder, or a company which is opening up a large tract of land, should not erect upon it houses of the size and kind that are most readily salable, at the same time effecting economies through buying in large quantities, the duplication of special details, etc. Strange as it may seem, however, speculative builders as a class are not held in the highest esteem, but have rather a reputation for trickery; they "skin the job." Now, there is nothing essentially THE HOME OF THE MISSING MAYOR base in producing houses and more than producing other needed commodities, as a commercial speculation; but it must unfortunately be admitted that modern competitive conditions are not favorable to the maintenance of a high standard of excellence in design and construction in the houses built by speculative builders. Although there are houses built speculatively which reach a high standard of design and construction, these are in the minority. There is no reason, however, why a higher standard should not be general.

Every decent builder and every decent workman would rather build good houses than bad ones, it rests with the public to make this possible. They must not expect good houses at the price of bad ones, and they should regard a builder's reputation for good work as of more consequence than his reputation for cheapness. It might be asked what ideals a home builder should have in planning and constructing his dwelling. He should seek almost before everything to express restfulness and simple comfort. These are the qualities which mark the difference be- --- tween a mere lodging and a home. Much of the striving after prettiness and picturesqueness, which characterizes many modern houses, destroys the quality of restfulness. Beauty the house must have, but it should come naturally as the outcome of substantial construction and good proportions. Never should beauty be sought by applying ornaments to a structure which has no beauty in itself; the attempt will be futile and wasteful, and it may be that the last state of such a house will be worse than the first. A small house, and every other building, should avoid shams. This does not necessarily mean the ostentatious showing of every beam, but it does mean the avoidance of such tawdry devices as nailing strips of thin wood into facades to BED RM 12'0"X9'6" CL HALL BATH 6'0"X6'6" CLOSET CL BED RM 12'0"X11'6" BALCONY Second Floor Plan give a "quaint" appearance in imitation of the old half-timber construction. It is better to have a glorified cottage than a cramped and impoverished mansion. The owner of a small village or suburban house will have other ideals than those of the house agent who measures the value of a house by the number of its "reception rooms." A house should be built for the family that will inhabit it, not for the visitors. THE HOME OF THE MAYOR who will come but occasionally. Instead of cutting up the limited space into several small rooms in view of the expectation of visitors, the family will require all the available space for the dining room and common sitting room. Hospitality need not, indeed, be omitted from consideration, but it should be of a very simple type. The accompanying design illustrates a house that embodies the best of these features to an unusual degree. It has individuality of appearance, being "different" from the ordinary. The lower floor is arranged for maximum comfort and convenience, providing a square reception stair hall and a very large living room with connecting dining room. The kitchen and pantry are conveniently arranged. On the second floor are two nice bedrooms, with closets and bath. This house, in size 27 by 36 feet, can be built for $2,000. It is a worthwhile model, for the man who wants a thoroughly substantial, first-class residence, different in style and arrangement from those usually built. Missed Seeing the "Crack" Place. A few years ago one of the oldest and most "original" of American travelers did a short European stunt with some friends, most of the "doin's" being in Paris. When he returned he was asked if he had seen everything in the brilliant French metropolis. "Oh, sure," he answered in his droll, squeaky voice. "We saw all the great bullyards, and the Champs Eliza, and the Boys der Bologna, though there wasn't a sassidge in sight, and the Jardam Mobile, and the Mooley Rooge, and the rest of the things with names I couldn't get any tongue around, all but one place which had a sign on all the busses and street cars. That was 'complet.' I told the boys it must be a great place, but I never could get them to go there. They said the word meant that the darn thing was full, no seat left, nor straps to hang to, but I'm sure it was the name of some crack place, and if I'd been alone I'd sure got there." ```markdown ``` MOST LUSCIOUS FRUIT THREE WAYS OF SERVING DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY. As a Sauce It Will Be Appreciated— Method of Preparing Individual Short-Cake --- Combination With Rice Something New. Strawberry Sauce.—Rub one cupful of sugar and a half a cupful of butter to a cream. Add the beaten white of one egg and one cupful of straw- berries thoroughly washed. Individual Strawberry Shortcake.—Make dough of one pint of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of butter. Mix and sift, add butter and milk enough to make a dough that will roll easily; roll and cut with large cutter and bake in trat or gem tins. This will make twelve cakes. Filling for shells: One quart of berries, one cupful of powdered sugar creamed with tablespoonful of butter, and mixed with crushed berries. Serve with a mound of whipped cream. This makes an attractive dessert for luncheon or tea. Peaches make a nice filling also. Rice and Strawberries.—Pour two cups of boiling water on one cup of well washed rice, add one teaspoon salt, cook in double boiler thirty minutes. Add a plint or more of milk and a heaping tablespoonful of butter, boll until perfectly tender and not too dry. Pour into a dish and let stand until cold. Dressing: One cup powdered sugar, one tablespoonful butter, beat to a cream; one cup fresh ripe strawberries and the well beaten white of an egg added last. In serving it put into each sauce some rice and on the rice place a liberal portion of the dressing. CHOCOLATE AND FRUIT TARTS Recipe for Dessert Dishes That Has the Sanction of Leading Woman's Journal. Make the tarts of puff pastry, leaving as large a space as possible for the filling. In each tart place canned peaches or apricots, from which all the juice has been drained away, and pour over them a chocolate sauce. The sauce is made as follows: Boil one half pint of milk and grate three ounces of chocolate. Mix a little of the milk with the chocolate until it is smooth; add the rest of the milk and let it boil up; then add one ounce of sugar and a tablespoonful of vanilla. If the tarts are to be used hot pour on the sauce as soon as it is finished and serve immediately, covering the top with whipped cream. The tarts may also be used cold, and in that case the sauce must be cold when poured over them.—Harper's Bazar. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Iron silk on the wrong side—the iron will make the right side shiny. Always keep a little water in wood-enails or tubs, otherwise they will crack and fall apart. A bit of sugar dissolved in the water in which cut flowers are standing is an English way of keeping the blossoms fresh. To keep pancakes from being greasy and flabby, do not have the batter too thick, and be sure that the fat is piping hot. Bronze ornaments should be cleaned with a little sweet oil, polished with a duster and afterwards rubbed well with a soft chamois. When postage stamps stick together do not soak in hot water; instead, lay a piece of sheer paper on top and pass over with a hot iron. This will loosen the stamps and not remove the gum on the back. Turkey Filling Sandwiches. Turkey Piling Saladines Chop finely the meat of a left-over turkey. Put into saucepan, adding two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped celery, with salt and pepper to taste. Stir over the fire until hot. Then add a soft-bolled egg, and leave until cold. Spread the turkey mixture upon thin slices of buttered toast. Cut into halves or quarters, and place on a folded napkin. Rusks. Two cups raised dough, one cup sugar, one-half cup butter, two well beaten eggs, flour enough to make it a stiff dough; set it to raise and when light mold to high biscuits and set to rise again; place in oven. When done rub tops with granulated sugar and milk and place in oven to dry. Economical Sponge Cake. Two eggs, whites and yolks beaten well separately.

The Most Beautiful Thing A newspaper recently invited its readers to state in a few words what they considered the most beautiful thing in the world. The first prize was awarded to the sender of the answer: "The eyes of my mother." "The dream of that which we know to be impossible" suggested an imaginative person, and this brought him second prize. But the most amusing thing was that which read: "The most beautiful thing in the world is to see a man carrying his mother-in-law across a dangerous river without making any attempt to drop her in."

FOOD IN SERMONS Feed the Dominie Right and the Sermons Are Brilliant. A conscientious, hard-working and successful clergyman writes: "I am glad to bear testimony to the pleasure and increased measure of efficiency and health that have come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as one of my articles of diet. "For several years I was much distressed during the early part of each day by indigestion. My breakfast seemed to turn sour and failed to digest. After dinner the headache and other symptoms following the breakfast would wear away, only to return, however, next morning. "Having heard of Grape-Nuts food, I finally concluded to give it a trial. I made my breakfasts of Grape-Nuts with cream, toast and Postum. The result was surprising in improved health and total absence of the distress that had, for so long a time, followed the morning meal. "My digestion became once more satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and the old feeling of energy returned. Since that time I have always had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast table. "I was delighted to find also, that whereas before I began to use Grape Nuts food I was quite nervous and became easily wearied in the work of preparing sermons and in study, a marked improvement in this respect resulted from the change in my diet. "I am convinced that Grape-Nuts food produced this result and helped me to a sturdy condition of mental and physical strength. "I have known of several persons who were formerly troubled as I was, and who have been helped as I have been, by the use of Grape-Nuts food on my recommendation."

UNCLE SAM'S PART in the SAMS PART in the KING'S CORONATION T WASHINGTON RICES WILL JOUNG DIPLOMATS FROM BRITISH EMBASSY SPECIAL AMBASSADOR JOHN HAYS HAMMOND AND MRS. HAMMOND THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. ENGORDED BY THE BRITISH EMBASSADOR. U.S.S. DELAWARE WHICH WILL REPRESENT THE U.S. MARIN IN THE GREAT These British courtiers will pilot the proxy of President Taft all through the intricate problem of the coronation festivities, telling him NCLC SAM, in one way and another, is to play quite a prominent part in connection with the coronation in June of King George, Great Britain's new monarch. First and foremost, of course, will be the representation, official and unofficial, of the United States at the spectacular exercises in London. But aside from this there will be recognition of the momentous event in the American capital and while it will be, perform, infinitely less showy than the elaborate program in the British metropolis, this echo on this side of the Atlantic will have much of significance for all believers in the hands across the sea tradition. A kingly coronation is always a magnet for tourists and sightseers of all nationalities—as witness the thousands of spectacle-loving Americans who have planned to be in London for the big show early this summer—but no government is expected to send official representatives to a coronation unless specifically invited by the government whose sovereign is to be crowned. However, Uncle Sam was duly invited, all right, to send special envoys to London for this supreme event of British history. Indeed in the present instance, as in the case of the coronation of the late King Edward, the United States was one of the first nations to whom an invitation was dispatched and this is something of an honor, for John Bull invites very few republics to participate in his big celebration and even purposely overlooks some of the less important monarchies in sending out his "bids." From the minute that the state department accepted Brittania's invitation immense interest was aroused all over the country as to whom the president would appoint special ambassador to the coronation. There is no salary attached to the place and the allowance which the government makes for expenses cannot be expected to cover the outlay of a man who has such a position to maintain. But it is a great honor to be sent as coronation envoy—carrying with it such privileges as dinners with the king and queen in addition to choice reserved seats at all the big functions—and so the place is eagerly sought by men who have the wealth to enable them to carry out its obligations. President Taft bestowed this plum upon his close personal friend, John Hays Hammond, the multimillionaire mining engineer who, for the first time, broke into politics just prior to the last presidential campaign and was mentioned for nomination as vice-president on the ticket with Mr. Taft. These British courtiers will pilot the proxy of President Taft all through the intricate problem of the coronation festivities, telling him just where to go, when to go and what to do when he gets there. In addition Mr. Hammond will enjoy all the privileges and immunities which are secured by international custom to the ambassadors of all countries. Whereas Mr. Hammond will be the most conspicuous American at all the public events connected with the coronation, he is the head of what is known as a "special embassy" and the other members will come in for their respective shares of glory. The official staff of the special ambassador will include a military aid who will be a brigadier general of the regular army and a naval aid who will be of the rank of rear admiral, and in addition there will be three secretaries—young men chosen more for their social qualifications than because of cierical ability. The California mining expert who rolled up the greater part of his wealth in the gold fields and diamond mines of South Africa, has the reputation of being a very liberal spender, but he will needs be to outshine his American rival, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, in the coronation hospitalities. Mr. Reid was the special envoy (the post now held by Mr. Hammond) at the coronation of King Edward, as he had been previously at Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, and on both occasions he entertained in a manner to cause British eyes to open wide with astonishment. Now, Mr. Reid is our regular ambassador at the Court of St. James and as such he has to play second fiddle to the special ambassador, Mr. Hammond. But that is only in official precedence. There is no official etiquette that puts a check upon his private hospitalities. However, President Taft's chum has leased a large London mansion for the coronation season, paying a fortune as rental, and it is likely that no temporary resident of the city of fogs will play host more splendidly during the six weeks of gayety. The army and navy representatives in the special embassy will of course don their special full dress uniforms on all ceremonial occasions during their stay in London, but the special ambassador, alike to the regular envoy, will not be asked to appear in fancy court attire of any kind or to make any elaboration of the conventional evening clothes such as he would wear at a White House reception. There will be this difference, however, that Mr. Hammond will have to venture forth at all hours of the day in his claw-hammer coat instead of reserving such attire for evening events as he would do here at home. And being somewhat short of stature anyway, this plain American citizen in his unobtrusive costume can scarcely expect to attract as much attention in the big public parades as will the princes of various nationalities who will be present in all the splendor of vldv-hued court costumes, bedecked with jeweled decorations. Yet another American who will have official standing at the coronation events will be Captain Gove, the naval officer in command of the U. S. S. Delaware, our newest and most powerful battleship. The Deleware, be it explained, is to be sent to England for this special occasion. The huge warship, it may be added, does not go to afford an impressive conveyance for the special ambassador and his suite. On the contrary they will travel on the regular ocean liners, but Great Britain has invited all the nations on the globe to send warships to the coronation marine parades and more especially to a great naval review off the English coast and it is to enable the stars and stripes Vehicles of the Air upon getting guns that would destroy the daring aviator if he flew low enough to make accuracy possible in hitting a battleship, and they may say that if the aeroplane destroyer flies beyond the range of those guns he would not be able to drop a shell where it would do its work. "They may forget, however, that the funnel of a great battleship offers a wide target, and that a perfect swarm of the little, destructive biplane gnats might be turned loose over a battleship and some one of them might drop the shell in the funnel. You could construct a big fleet of these aeroplanes for less than the cost of one battleship. "Carry the parallel still further. Suppose a hunter out after ducks U Special Envoy Hammond will have one immense advantage over the regular ambassador, Mr. Reid, and, of course, over all the Americans who are present in London at this time as private citizens. It will arise from the circumstance that the British government will, in order to make things easy for the special visitor, detail to attend him military and naval aids and court officials who will act as gentlemen-in-waiting just as is the case when a king visits the capital of a friendly nation. In his comprehensive book on vehicles of the air Victor Louheed, engineer and student of aviation, emphasizes a few points on the relation of the aeroplane to warfare that serve to bring out his notion that the day is not far off when the expenditure of millions for dreadnaught battleships will be unknown. The engineer believe many things are possible with the aeroplane and compares the aviator dropping destructive shells into the vulnerable works of a modern battleship from his aerial position to bringing down ducks with a little shotgun. If one aeroplane at a cost of, say, $990, does not destroy a battleship, says Mr. Lougheed, "why, 50 or 100 do the work. The West Point and Annapolis students may descent SPECIAL AMBASSADOR JOHN HAYS HAMMOND AND MRS. HAMMOND with a shotgun were to understand that if he left one of the flock that this one survivor might be able to annihilate him he would not place so much confidence in his shotgun." Particularly interesting is the relation of navigation to warfare, and the subject obsesses many now that the governments are taking up the experiments along scientific lines. This latest of man's inventions probably will serve first in adding to the terrors and then in laying the grim specter of the centuries. A very few of the military authorities have pointed out that in the development of the flying machine there is placed, for the first time in history, in the hands of the weak and strong combatants alike, a weapon capable of as effective and unpreventable direction against the kings, congresses, presidents and diplomats who declare war as it is of direction against the AMBASSADOR JAMES BRYSE, GREAT BRITAIN'S ENJOY TO THE UNITED STATES to have a creditable color bearer in this history-making spectacle that our latest "dreadnaught" has been ordered to cross the Atlantic. Uncle Sam's participation in the coronation will have preludes of a social nature in the United States prior to the departure of the special embassy for London. The British ambassador to the United States may be expected to entertain the special ambassador, and probably all the members of the special embassy, at a formal dinner, provided he follows precedent in the matter, as doubtless he will, for Hon. James Bryce, the present British ambassador to the United States, has earned a reputation for doing the right thing at the right time and, moreover, he is strongly in sympathy with everything American. This hospitality will doubtless be returned by Ambassador Hammond, who is well equipped for entertaining, having, in addition to his spacious summer home at Gloucester, Mass., a rented house in Washington which he has leased at a rental of upward of $10,000 a year and where he is residing with his wife and children pending the completion of a mansion specially constructed for him at the national capital. And speaking of Ambassador Hammond's fighting men on the faraway battle fronts. Already more than one great military and naval captain has suffered disquieting visions of what will happen when, maneuvering unopposed and unseen in the obscurity of the night, not merely one or a few, but veritable swarms of light aeroplanes, in 20,000 lots, costing no more than single dreadnaughts, commence trailing assortments of high explosives at the end of 1,000 foot lengths of plano wire over cities and palaces and through beets and armies. Many authorities are inclined to disparage the fighting ability of the aeroplane, basing their views on the fact that it has been demonstrated exceedingly difficult to drop bombs with any considerable accuracy from great heights. But from a slow-moving aeroplane flying very low it should be an easy matter to cast generous parcels of picric acid or fulminate of mer- family it may be noted that Mrs. Hammond is as well qualified for the duties of special ambassadress as is her husband for the post of special ambassador. Prior to her marriage she was a resident of the state of Mississippi, but since she formed a life partnership with the mining engineer she has traveled all over the world—one of her latest jaunts being to St. Petersburg, Russia, whither Mr. Hammond was summoned by the czar only a few months ago for a consultation regarding the development of Russian and Siberian mines. Moreover, Mrs. Hammond has lived for considerable intervals in London during the time that her husband was associated with Cecil Rhodes and the British capitalists who developed South Africa, so that she has had considerable experience to fit her for her duties as a hostess during the gayest social season in the interm of the world's metropolis. If precedent is followed in the case of the coronation of King George commemorative services will be held in Washington (and in all the world's capitals where Great Britain has embassies and legations) simultaneously with the significant ceremony in London. Such commemorative exercises when under the auspices of British diplomats are always especially impressive, one of the most notable within the memory of official Washington being the memorial service in honor of the late King Edward, which was held in Washington at the same hour that the funeral was held in England. Such services are attended by the president of the United States and the members of his cabinet and by all the members of the diplomatic corps in full uniform. When, as in this case, the services are in honor of a British monarch, they are always held in an Episcopal church, that being the denomination of the Church of England. The scene of such commemorative events in Washington is old St. John's church, the famous "Court Church" or "Church of the Presidents," which is located directly opposite the White House. Unfortunately the general public gets never a peep at such ceremonials because the church is a tiny one, seating only a few hundred persons and virtually every pew in the edifice has to be reserved for the diplomats and public officials who by virtue of their positions are entitled to attend. cury into the 20-foot diameters of a battleship's funnels. Fancy for a moment the disillusionment to come when in some great conflict of the future a splendid up-to-date battleship fleet of the traditional order, with traditional admiral and traditional tactics, finds itself beset in midseas by a couple of great, unarmored, liner-line hulls, engineed to admit of speeds and steaming radii such as will permit them to pursue or run away from any armored craft yet built, and designed with clear and level decks for aeroplane launching. Conceive them provided with storage room for hundreds of demountable aeroplanes, with fuel, repair facilities and explosives, and with housing for a regiment or two of expert air navigators. (Copyright, by International Press Bureau) SAVED FLOCK IN BLIZZARD Aged Wyoming Shepherd Followed Sheep for Five Days Without Food or Fire. Five days in a snowstorm, without food, fire, rest or sleep, William McCormick, a sixty-year-old sheep herder, arrived at the Murdock camp, Wyoming, in a deplorable condition, but still guarding the three thousand sheep with which he had left the camp. His colli dog underwent similar hardships, but assisted him in bringing the flock back to the corral. McCormick is employed by George Murdock, a prominent sheepman. Murdock's sheep range over the great "Red Desert," which, instead of being a desert, is one of the finest sheep ranges in the world. While out in this great plain McCormick and his big herd of three thousand sheep were overtaken by a howling blizzard of wind, snow and sleet. As is usual during such storms, the sheep immediately turned their tails to the wind and drifted with the storm, despite the efforts of McCormick and his dog to prevent the animals from going too far from their range. For three days the band drifted, the herder and dog trying all the time to stop the animals, which moved slowly in a great body before the wind. McCormick had no food with him, and there was no way to cook it even had he been supplied. On the open prairie he was unable to procure any inflammable substance. He dared not lie down to rest or sleep for fear of losing his sheep as well as from fear of being frozen to death. On the evening of the third day the storm abated and the sheep came to a standstill, many miles from water or range. McCormick knew his life depended absolutely upon his ability to reach camp, and although now three days without food, water, fire or rest, he started on the return trip, driving his sheep before him. At the end of another two days the aged sheep herder arrived at the camp and was taken in charge by his companions. During the five days he had sucked snow for water and had gone entirely without food, rest, sleep or fire. His face, hands and feet were frozen. Surgeons report that he will live. About one thousand of the sheep were missing, but these were rounded up by other employees and brought to camp. McCormick's feat is looked upon as one of the most extraordinary instances of endurance ever known in Wyoming. Postal Banks In France. The record of the postal savings bank system in France has been one of continued progress. In 1882, when this institution was established, the total number of postal banks in operation was 6,024 with 211,580 deposit accounts remaining open at the close of the year. These accounts, including interest due depositors, amounted to $9,187,116, the average sum of the deposits being $43.41. On December 31, 1909, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, the number of banks had increased by nearly 2,000, the deposit accounts numbered 5,542,882, and the deposits, including interest, represented an aggregate amount of $316,456,866, averaging $57.08. The expenses of administration during 1900 amounted to $1,504,678, and the net profits to $526,786. It may be recalled that individual accounts are limited by law to 1,500 francs ($289.50). When an account exceeds this the surplus is invested by the bank in national bonds. The total value of the bonds purchased in 1909 was $2,086,575. The withdrawals, including these purchases, amounted to $104,916,150. As the Wild Geese Fly. There can be no more impressive sight than a straining line of wild geese moving in the clear air with steady strokes, their rigid necks pointing to their northern summer home, their outlines slowly diminishing until, as a row of floating dots, they vanish in the uncertain distance. As they scan the continent in their northward sweep the feeble efforts that dot it here and there with cities must seem to them helpless presumption. They call in the joy of their strength and the poor prisoners of gravitation fancy that the resonant tones from the vast, airy dome are a special message to their own little worlds. More impressive than this voice of the open day or the sight of the vigorous and steady forms coursing the air is the sonorous mingling cries in the starry dome when the lofty way of travelers is concealed by the enshrouding night. Our Wonderful Language. Speaking before the American Physical Education association in Boston Prof. John M. Tyler of Amherst college warned his hearers emphatically against allowing girls from ten to fifteen years of age to over-exercise, hammering his ideas home with this scintillating nugget of philosophy: "Too much of nothing is good." That may be true in Boston, perhaps the less of its greatest notoriously seeking product the better; but we hope the professor won't seek to apply his self-reversible theory to Johnny Meehan's Park row doughnuts, nor yet to our debtors' bank balance. Which reminds us of the old word play: "It rains or it does not rain. Therefore, if it does not rain, it rains." The Sun once called this a "logical fallacy, of reciprocation of mutually exclusive terms." That's just what Professor Tyler's nugget is, a fallacy. If you don't believe it, get too much of nothing and see if it will be good. Established in 1898. W. N. MILLER, Editor Residence 1401 West 23d Street. Office: 630 N. Main Street.

Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and inhabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and veryalty—and preserve only the spawr, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. ```markdown ``` TABOR CASH PRIZES $15.

Madero Will Not Attack Juarez Put Will March His Troops to Assault Mexico City. Mexico City, Mexico.—President Diaz has issued an official pronouncement announcing that he would continue war on the rebels in order to restore peace in the country. He will resign when he has restored peace but not before then. The statement covers the final message sent to Madero and was issued only after a long conference between DeLaBarra, Limantour and the president. A complete change of front has become manifest among the better classes in this city. The determination of Diaz to fight all the rebels to the bitter end has encouraged the professional men of the city and has made them all believe that he can put down the trouble with loyal troops. "If Diaz cannot do that," according to one prominent man "the government will fight its way through the ranks and raise a fresh army, returning to Mexico City at the head of another force and be abe to retake the town." El Paso, Tex.—Peace negotiations between the insurrectos and the federalists in Juarez are ended and Francisco I. Madero, leader of the insurgents announces his intention of marching at once on Mexico City, the capital. In a manifesto to his troops he declared that he would make no effort to capture Juarez because of its proximity to El Paso and the danger of an offense to the United States. THINK KNOX MAY RESIGN Friction Between the State and War Department May Cause Secretary to Retire. Washington, D. C.—The happenings in Mexico brought out fresh rumors that friction exists between the war department and the state department over the handling of affairs connected with the Mexican situation.

A suggestion that Secretary Knox might retire from the state portfolio was current even before the Mexican situation arose. NO BAIL FOR J. J.

For two hours Attorney Job Harriman argued that bail should be fixed upon this charge despite the fact that McNamara is held on 19 other indictments which charge murder—an unbailable offense in this state. No plea was made for McManigal as he has not yet been arraigned in court. Colonel Will Hunt Polar Bear New York, N. Y.—According to Capt. "Bob" Martlett, big game hunting has more attractions for Theodore Roosevelt than the next presidential campaign.

PRETTY SLIPPERY, ISN'T IT? GIVE UP! WHISKERS LOSES! OW! LEGGO! SOCIETY FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH Chicago Daily News That Celebrated Debate Might Be Settled If the Argument Became Heated. BULLETS RAINED IN EL PASO BULLETS RAINED IN EL PASO DURING JUAREZ BATTLE FIVE AMERICANS WERE KILLED. Madero Said the Attack Was Unauthorized and Troops Were Soon Withdrawn. El Paso, Texas.—The streets of Juarez are littered with the dead and dying. Since early in the morning when the insurgents began what Gen. Madero terms "an unauthorized assault," the battle has been raging. To the north of the Rio Grande live Americans are dead, slain by bullets from across the international line. Many other Americans are wounded by stray bullets some in the very business heart of El Paso. When the bullets began to fall like hail in the streets of El Paso, Col. Steever, in command of the Fourth United States cavalry, sent couriers to Generals Madero and Navarro bearing this message: "In the name of the president of the United States I hereby protest against men in your command handling their arms in such a way that bullets fall into United States territory as is happening." But the bullets continued to fall and Col. Steever wired to Washington for instructions. Before withdrawing the insurrectors had captured all the customs houses, the two bridges joining Juarez and El raso and the bull ring. MAY CHANGE DATE OF ELECTION The Proposed Amendment Would Put the Event in April Instead of November. Washington, D. C.—A change of the date of the inauguration of the president is assured of ratification by the Sixty-second congress, and it is not improbable similar action will be taken to change the date of holding national elections. The proposed amendment of the constitution of the United States changes the date of the inauguration from March 4, usually an inclement day in Washington, to the last Thursday in April. The date of holding national elections would be changed from the first Tuesday in November to the first Tuesday in April preceding the expiration of the terms of the president and members of congress. Direct Elections Advanced. Washington, D. C.

THE STOCKMEN WANT TO KNOW They Believe They Are Not Getting Their Share of the High Cost of Meat. Topeka, Kansas.-The executive committee of the Kansas Live Stock association is planning an investigation to find out who gets the money in handling meat after the feeder is paid and before the consumer buys his porterhouse steak. Some of the cattlemen believe they are getting the short end of the money. "Someone besides the stock raiser gets the money," said J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary commissioner, and secretary of the association. "The people have been led to believe that the high price of meat is due to the price demanded by the stockmen. We do not believe we are getting our rightful share of the amount the consumer pays. We think that the packer, or the wholesaler, or the market man is getting more than his share of the profits. We have strated this investigation to find out who really gets the money." MAIL CLERK STRIKE ILLEGAL A Charge of Knowingly Obstructing the Mails Would Apply to Those Engaged in a Walk Out. Washington, D. C.—"There is a law making it a criminal offense to willfully and knowingly obstruct the mails and I believe that law would be applicable in the case of a strike in the railway mail service," Joseph Stewart, second assistant postmaster general, told the house committee on civil service in explaining what the postoffice would do in the event of a walkout by the clerks, who are seeking to establish their right to form a union. Mr. Stewart said that a majority of the 17,000 mail clerks are satisfied with present working conditions. Trouble was being fomented, he said by "a few discharged clerks and agitators outside the service." HEARING CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS The Alaska Coal Lands That Precipiated the Pinchot-Ballinger Contest Up Again. Washington, D.

El Paso, Texas.—What was perhaps the fiercest battle of the Mexican revolution was fought at Juarez across the Rio Grande, but without result. At least five people have been killed on the American side of the line since the skirmishing began and about 15 wounded, while the loss on the battle field is variously estimated at from 30 to 60 dead on both sides and about 75 to 100 wounded. All day long the battle raged with the insurrecto swarming through the streets of Juarez and meeting the heavy fire of the federalis with an equally vigorous volley of musketry. The rebels claim the town and while it is true that they actually control more territory, the position of the federal forces is so well fortified as to be almost impregnable. The rebels have forced the fighting in the face of the deadly fire of the federal machine guns. They dare not garner in too great number for an attack on the federals because the artillerymen of Gen. Navarro many times demonstrated the accuracy of their range when they shelled adobe houses behind which insurrectos had sought protection a half mile from Juarez while skulking along the river front. Gen. Navarro is said to have mines under most of the houses in Juarez and when he gets word of an insurrect gathering, he is believed to be able to inflict a terrible slaughter of them. EACH PASTOR A CONFESSOR Rev. Charles M. Sheldon Thinks all Protestant Churches Should Adopt the Plan. Topeka, Kansas.—The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, pastor of the Central Congregational church, author of "In His Steps," and several other widely read books, believes that every pastor of a Protestant church should have a confessional, where the members of his flock could go to his pastor and pour their troubles into a willing ear and receive wholesome advice. He does not intend that this confession should be in the nature of that followed by the Catholic church, where forgiveness of sin is given by the father confessor. It should be a place where those heavily laden with cares and trials and tribulations could unload their burdens.

With Those Who Labor For Their Lord With Those Who Labor For Their Lord THE men and religion forward movement is getting ready to invade the metropolitan district and to stir up the men of the church as they never have been stirred up. The object of the movement is to bring the church, and the church men into direct touch with social and civic work, to make the churches a living vital force in the life of the community. The organizations participating in the movement are: The Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip, the Baptist brotherhood, the Congregational Brotherhood of America, the Brotherhood of Disciples of Christ, the Gideons (commercial travelers), the International Sunday school association, the international committee of Young Men's Christian associations, the Lutheran brotherhood, the Methodist brotherhood, the Otterbein brotherhood, the Presbyterian Brotherhood of America, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and the United Presbyterian brotherhood. Four great conferences have already been held. These have been at Buffalo, Chicago, Nashville and Kansas City. Moving from the four great centers where the four conferences have been held, the work has spread out and even the fringe of Canada has been touched. The plans for the future are to push the work all through Canada, along the Pacific coast and in this section of the country. But that will not be the end of the work. It will only be the beginning. Once the entire country has been enlightened as to the movement and instructed in its purposes, will remain the perpetuation of that work; and that perpetuation will be done by the churches themselves. It is not the purpose to drag the church into partisan politics but it is sought to place the Christian sentiment of the community effectively behind all movements for civic righteousness and for the uplift of humanity. In June, Baptists of the world are to meet in Philadelphia. There are millions of them, one of the largest bodies of Christians in the world. The principal meeting is called the Baptist World alliance. With this alliance will be held, on preceding or succeeding dates, the sessions of the Northern Baptist convention and meetings of missionary and other large Baptist interests. The high honor of president of the World alliance is in the balance. The name of the Rev. Dr. Robert S. MacArthur of New York has been proposed and indorsed in New England, in the west, and spoken well of in England. Southern Baptists are, however, rising to say that they have men fit for the honor, and that it belongs to them for the double reason that they have not yet had it, and within the limits of the Southern Baptist convention are two-thirds of the Baptists of the whole United States. English and continental Baptists, who are coming to Philadelphia in numbers, concede the honor to an American. Southern Baptist leaders mention no names, but rest their cases on the rotation principle. To this alliance meeting are coming Ruslan Baptist ministers, their way paid by Americans. It is authoritatively announced, and said to be intended especially for possible pilgrims and other visitors from the United States to Rome this year, that the pope desires Catholics and non-Catholics not to participate in the official reception that may be given at the Quirinal or on the capital, if they expect to be received in audience by him. The present year the Holy See will observe a year of mourning, and no great functions will be held in St. Peters or the Vatican. It is declared to be certain that Plus X. will not accord audiences even to Catholics this year except in very limited numbers. Americans and Englishmen are training famous pulpleaters. At the moment the Rev. Sr. J. H. Jowett of Birmingham accepts the foremost pulpit in the Presbyterian church in America, the Fifth Avenue, New York, the Rev. Dr. A. C. Dixon of Chicago is invited to the pastorate of Spurgeon's tabernacle, London, the greatest Baptist pulpit in England, in many respects in the world. An egg-shaped auditorium seating 5,000, the pulpit in the first balcony, the tabernacle is located in a residence section to the south of the Thames, visited every year by thousands of strangers, and one of the religious focus points of the world. The Rev. Dr. Dixon, coming of a Baptist family of preachers long famous throughout the south, is pastor of Moody's church in Chicago. It is Congregational, and over the question of Baptism the same controversy arose as arose when the Rev. F. B. Meyer, a Baptist, lent to a London Congregational church, and arises now when the Rev. Dr. C. F. Aked, a Baptist, goes to a San Francisco Congregational church. Each provided a baptistry, continued immersion himself, but let an assistant sprinkle as were satisfied with that form. If the Rev. Dr. Dixon transfers now from Chicago to London, he will go to an orthodox Baptist church—that is, he will return to his own. It is reckoned that he will go. Pastoral salaries in London are small when compared with Chicago. A London postor who receives $3,000 a year is near the top. In great cities of America he is near the bottom.

TRY A BOTTLE TODAY It Always Gives Satisfaction THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW Many Women There Are Who Will Understand. Just. Why. Long-Suf. Several years ago an Atchison couple were living happily together. The community was shocked one day when the wife applied for a divorce and got it. The story of the divorce has come out. It seems that the wife went into the kitchen and "slaved" all day. She made bread, pies, cakes, cookies and pork and beans. She boiled a tongue, made a potato salad, stuffed eggs, made a custard and brown bread. When her husband came home at 6 o'clock in the evening he found her dressed up. And on the table was cold tongue, pork and beans, fresh bread, cake, cookies, ple, potato salad, stuffed eggs, brown bread and custard. The wife thought her husband would say: "You poor darling, how you have worked today!" Instead, he said in a surprised way: "COLD supper! Lord, but you have an easy time!" His wife did not answer him. She was speechless with rage, and he does not know to this day why she asked the court to be divorced from a BRUTE-Atchison Globe. A Wall—In the Near Future.

SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED "I am more than gratified by the successful results I obtained by the use of the Cuticura Remedies. For several years my scalp was very badly affected with dandruff and scales. My scalp itched terribly at times and my hair fell out. My coat collar would be actually white with the dandruff that had fallen from my head. My profession being that of a barber, I was particular about having my hair in good condition, and was also in a position to try many lotions, etc., for the scalp. These had little or no effect. I had heard so much about the Cuticura Remedies that I resolved to try them. I shampooed my head with Cuticura Soap twice a week and after drying my head thoroughly, I anointed parts of my scalp with Cuticura Ointment. I was pleased from the outset, and continued to keep up this treatment. To think that only three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one and one-half boxes of Cuticura Ointment rid my head of this annoying trouble made me feel quite contented. I have now got a thick growth of hair and I am never troubled with any dandruff or itching of the scalp. There is no question but that the Cuticura Remedies cured me. I frequently recommend them to my customers, and they think a great deal of them." (Signed) John F. Williams, 307 Norfolk Street, Dorchester, Boston, Mass., July 28, 1910. Next! There were a couple of dandy fish fiars in the Colonial lobby. We didn't have time to get their names, addresses and photographs, but we lingered long enough to hear the conversation. The poignant part thereof was as follows: "How much did your fish weigh?" "I didn't have no hay scales with me, you mut. But when I pulled him out it lowered the lake four inches." "Some fish," commented the other, without the quiver of an eyelash. "Reminds me of some good sport I had duck hunting last fall.

While walking down Bishopsgate street one morning they quarreled over some medical question and adjourned to the square of the college to fight it out with swords. Woodward fell, wounded in several places, whereupon Mead magnanimously said, "Take thy life." "Anything but your physic," hissed back the chagrined Woodward ere he swooned away.—London Chronicle.

Made by Van Vleet-M 325,000 IN ONE YEAR THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA SURPASSES ALL RECORD. The returns recently issued by the Canadian Immigration Branch shows that upwards of 325,000 persons arrived in Canada during the past twelve months, declaring their intention of becoming settlers in that country. Of this number about 130,000 were from the United States, the balance being from the British Isles and Northern Europe. It will thus be seen that the sturdy farming element that has gone forward from the United States is being splendidly supplemented by an equally sturdy settlement from across the seas. The lure of Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax grown on the rich prairie of Western Canada is constantly attracting more and more, and year by year the tide of immigrants to the Western Canada plains increases; there is no ebb to this tide. The Canadian authorities are not surprised at the number from the United States being as large as it is they did not look for so large an immigration from the old countries. Still, they will not be found unprepared. Reception halls are in readiness at all important points in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, surveyors were at work during the past season opening up new districts on which to place those seeking free homesteads of 160 acres each, railways have been projecting laterals from their main lines, and every provision has been taken to accommodate the newcomer. A recent dispatch from Antwerp reads: "The diversion of European emigration from the United States to Canada is said to be seriously affecting the Atlantic steamship lines. The Red Star today gives up to the America-Canada line two of the best special emigrant steamers afloat, the Gothland and the Samland. These vessels heretofore in the Antwerp-New York service are now to be operated from Rotterdam to Canadian ports." On the date of the above dispatch word came to the Immigration branch that the "Vanguard of the 1911 army of United States settlers reached Winnipeg at 1:30 o'clock this morning. There was a solid train load of effects, comprising 41 carloads and two colonist sleepers attached to the train, which contained the members of 25 families. Every man Jack in the party is a skilled farmer, and all have come north prepared to go right on the land, which was purchased last year. They are equipped with everything that experience has shown is necessary to make a start on virgin prairie. In addition to machinery and household effects there were a large number of horses and cattle. Some of the farmers had also brought along gas tractors, which will be put right to work on ground breaking." One of the agents of the Canadian government advises that it would appear as if each month of the present year would show a large increase over the past year. The demand for the literature of the department, describing the country and its resources, is greater than it ever has been. Now What Did She Mean? At a recent wedding a baby had shrieked without intermission to the great annoyance of the guests, etc. As the bridal party was leaving the church a slight delay occurred.

"When I send out invitations to my wedding I shall have printed in the corner, 'No babies expected.'"—Judge.
