THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. "THE MAN FARTH- EST DOWN" BY DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. HE STROKES THE HIGH NOTE OF HOPE. FOURTEENTH YEAR "THE MAN EST D BY DR. BOOKER HE STROKES THE H The leading article in "The Outlook" for the week ended May 6. "The Man Farthest Down." by Dr. Booker T. Washington, is the first of a series of six articles "based on observation abroad, comparing the living conditions of the European peasant, woman worker, and miner, with those of the American Negro." Col. Roosevelt is one of the editors of The Outlook. In his first article Dr. Washington finds that the American Negro is so much better off in every way as to make it any way comparable to that of the white man in Europe at the bottom of the ladder. The vast number of European workmen in the United States and of who are steadily coming here indicates, he thinks, also the hard conditions of the poor in Europe Afro-Americans should read the series of articles by Dr. Washington, as they will in that way get a vivid picture of themselves and their conditions as compared with those of the least favored class in Europe. Dr. Washington's faith in his race and what it has accomplish, with its splendid opportunity for development is one of the most hopeful assets the race has at this time. He strokes the high note of hope and it is possible to follow that note with the faith in the honest works which makes for the largest success and happiness. The cant-saying so populor now in the slang of the day, they all look good when they're far away, has present and vital application in the discussion as to whether America or Europe is to be preferred by the America colored citizen. The number of dissatisfied and disgruntled colored people in this country is growing daily, and the much heralded of freedom from color prejudice of the Old World has caused not a few strong and sensible colored men to ponder seriously the question as to whether they should not flee from the colorphobia of these shores. No one has yet come forth to deny the assertion that Europe is far less prejudiced than America. But if Booker T. ```markdown ``` 2 Washington may speak through the notable series on "The Man Farthest Down," beginning in last week's Outlook, the United States is infinitely better as a home for the black man than any country in Europe. On his recent trip abroad he was importuned, he relates, by many Americans, both white and colored to assist them in getting passage back home. A colored citizen especially bemoaned their fate, declaring there was no work in England for the race. Nnr would Mr. Washington have us believe that the colored man on this side is only better off than the colored man on the oeher side. He declares that the colored man here is infinitely better off in his chances for work, life and enjoywent than the white man of his same station there. In short, the distance of Europe leads almost her only enchantment. The colored citizens of this great land would be unworthy of their citizenship, unworthy possessors of the great heritage of freedom and equal right handed down to them by two hundred thousand of their heroic fathers, if they did not press the battle to the gates until they are admitted to an equal place in in this their fatherland. And for this reason, too, they should stay here. Europe is settled with her fixed classes and her poverty This is still the land of wealth and opportunity. It is for America's colored citizens to make the most of it.—Amsterdam N. Y. Vote For The Queen! Vote For The Queen!! Monday evening May 29th. at the Second Baptist Church.

The rooms were tastefully decorated with flowers and the Y. M. C. A. colors. There were four large tables in the form of a "W" which stood for the motto, "Wichita Won." One hundred eighty-five were seated and served to the following menu: Lettuce with Maynoisse Dressing Pickles Olives Ice Cream Cake Coffee The waiters, who were members of the Vasti club in charge of Mrs. Cousar, rendered excellent and creditable service. What Fools Some Women Be. It looks very disgusting and imposing to see some good for nothing, trifling Negro man hankering around after some poor servent woman's earnings after she has toiled for it. This is the man who is undesirable among us, and the sooner we are rid of him the better for the race. You often hear them making remarks about these women working for them, and they do not have to work. You women who practice supporting these men should stop now immediately. You are doing no more thab fostering convicts thieves and criminals of every type, and this class of men are too numerous among us. What do you think of poor feeble woman, compared with a man, supporting some able-bodied healthy man? Do not let your affections get the best of you along that line. Each one you support adds another victim to that relay that pulls down the standard of the race. ATCHISON, KANSAS. May 21, 1911.

Washington, D. C.—Information as to what steps had been taken for the criminal prosecution of the officers of the Standard Oil company, under the recent decision of the supreme court was demanded of the attorney general by the senate which adopted without debate a resolution of inquiry offered by senator Pomerene. The resolution names specifically John D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, John D. Archbold, Oliver H. Payne and Charles M. Pratt. Although dead, H. H. Rogers is named in the resolution as one of the officers of Standard Oil. The resolution sets forth that the supreme court held the corporation to be illegal and in effect its officers guilty of effecting a combination in restraint of trade. Therefore, the resolution continues, the seven men named are amendable to criminal prosecution and the demand is made "that the attorney general of the United States be, and he is hereby directed to inform the senate of the United States what, if any, prosecutions have been begun or are now pending against the said Standard Oil company of New Jersey, or the said constituent companies or individual defendants above named or any of them for violations of said sections one or two of said Sherman anti-trust law."

Details of the reported slaughter have not reached here, except that of the number of Chinamen killed were 50 of Wah's ranchmen. Wah has telegraphed the Chinese minister at Washington asking for protection. SENATE ORDERED TO GET BUSY House Democrats Issue An Ultimatum to Upper House Body—Vote or Stay Through Dog Days. Washington, D. C.—What is practically an ultimatum was served on the senate by the Democratic leaders of the house that there must be a vote in the senate at this session on Canadian reciprocity, on the Farmers' Free List bill and on the revised wool tariff. Provided these terms are met the house will agree to a recess from July 1 to October 1. Otherwise the senate will be held in continuous session throughout the "dog days" by the house refusing to adjourn. Prices Fixed by Lumbermen.

INESRA AKSA IOWA ILLINOIS OHIO PENNSYLVANIA DO N KANSAS NE W I ND I N D I N NORTH CAROLINA SOUTH CAROLINA GEORGIA TEXAS What is known as the "13-year" locust pest is now beginning to appear in the middle southwest. The official locust map issued by the department of agriculture at Washington shows the location of this 13-year brood. The dots represent counties, while some attempt has been made to show the extent of the brood in different localities by the size of the dots. In its bulletin the agricultural department states that there may be some errors as to certain parts of Indiana, Illinois and northern Missouri, owing to a confusion of former reports, although this is likely to be more in regard to numbers than distribution, it seems. Otherwise every section of the Mississippi valley showing a black dot may expect a horde of locusts. They are not as destructive, according to government experts, as some imagine, and are chiefly dangerous to young orchards. A 17-year brood is also scheduled to appear this year, but it is confined to Atlantic coast states. OKLAHOMA JUDGES CONFLICT TWO DECISIONS RENDERED IN GRANDFATHER CLAUSE CASE. One Judge Found the Law Valid While the Other Declared It Unconstitutional. Oklahoma City, Ok.—That it is legal to disfranchise the negro in the eastern half of Oklahoma and illegal in the western half is virtually the effect of two decisions on the "grandfather clause" given by two United States district courts in Oklahoma. Judge John H. Cotteral of the western district, sitting in Oklahoma City, held positively that the constitutional amendment adopted by the people of the state last August was in violation of the fifteenth amendment to the United States constitution. Judge Ralph E. Campbell of the eastern district, sitting at Muskogee, sustained demurrers in the cases brought against election officials who refused negroes the right to vote, holding that no offense had been committed against the United States. The "grandfather clause," which barred thousands of negroes in Oklahoma from voting, was an amendment to the state constitution adopted last year. It called for an educational test for all citizens whose ancestors were not entitled to the ballot prior to January 1, 1866, unless then residents of a foreign country.

Madrid.—Advices received here through official channels from Lisbon are that the political situation in Portugal is unsatisfactory. Much apprehension is felt over the deep current of discontent throughout the nation. Private letters received in Paris from Lisbon predict that an attempt to restore the monarchy soon will be made in Portugal, probably before the elections are held. It is said the movement will be started at Oporto; where business is at a standstill as a result of the dockmen's strike. A secret directory, composed of three men, it is believed, is arming monarchist recruits.

TWO NATIONS LIVE IN PEACE Sir Wilfrid Laurier Gave Englishmen A Graphic Idea of Conditions on This Side of Atlantic. London, Eng.—The Dinner of the Pilgrams' society in honor of the colonial premiers was historic because of unexpected and plain speaking by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the premier of Canada. Sir Wilfrid, addressing an audience composed of many of the great men of England, handled the annexation question without gloves. Canada in sharing the continent with the United States, he said, had a double interest in the treaty of arbitration between the United States and the United Kingdom and he exclaimed dramatically: "I thank God that the relations between the two peoples never were so good as they are to-day." The premier aroused enthusiasm when he said that Canada and the United States proposed to continue to show to the world two nations with the longest boundary, expanding from ocean to ocean, living in peace and mutual respect, without a fortress, a soldier or a gun on either side of that boundary. PEACE CONFERENCE SIGNED Action Taken on Front Steps of Juarez Capitol by Light of Automobile Lamps. El Paso, Tex.—A definite peace agreement was signed in the insurrecto capitol in Juarez between the federal and insurrecto peace commissioners. The agreement is very brief and merely recites that inasmuch as Diaz has resigned and the insurrectos' demands have been satisfied, a cessation of hostilities on both sides is declared. The agreement was signed by Judge Francisco Carbajal for the federals and by Dr. Vasquez Gomez, Francisco Madero, Sr., and Pino Suarez, for the insurrects. The document was signed shortly after midnight. The peace pact was signed on the front steps of the insurrecto capitol in Juarez by the light of the acetelyne lamps of the automobiles that carried the peace commissioners to Juarez from El Paso.

Until Constitutional conventions shall have made these changes there will be no statehood for either. SUMMER CAPITAL IN MINNESOTA Representative Nye Wants Congress to Erect a Home for the President at Lake Minnetonka. Washington.—Following a conversation with President Taft Representative Nye of Minnesota decided to introduce a bill in congress providing that the government erect a summer home for the president on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota.

Sunday School Lesson for May 28, 1911 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT—Micah 4:1-8. MEMORY VERSE—2. 8. GOLDEN TEXT—"Nation Shall Not Lift up Sword Against Nation, Neither Shall They Learn War Anymore."—Mlc. 4:3. TIME—Micah prophesied in the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hesekiah, who reigned (Beecher) from B. C. 764 to B. C. 696. PLACE—He probably lived in his native town, Moresheth-gath, southwest of Jewusalem. PROPHETS—Isaiah and Hosea. This important lesson deals with a subject that is of the greatest moment in our modern life, a problem that is rapidly approaching solution. After ages of warfare the world seems nearing the era of peace. In the forming of The Hague Tribunal the world has taken, in our lifetime, by far the longest step ever taken toward realizing the Christian ideal of universal brotherhood. But, strange to say, while this has been going on, the world's expenditures in preparation for war have been increased beyond anything the past has known or imagined, so that the cost of a militant peace has become the world's heaviest burden. We are to discuss, therefore, as a vital, urgent theme: "The Terrible Evils of War, and the Coming of the Reign of Peace." Micha has been picturing the sins of his nation, and the terrible punishment that was to come as a result. Now he turns in a flash to a contrasting picture, the glorious, peaceful reign of Messiah. There is no thought that this happy time is to conclude human existence, but it is to be the last stage of human existence, and is to be unpeading Micah saw the beloved Mount Zion, the eastern, Temple hill of Jerusalem. It was called the tower of the flock, the flock being the Hebrews, and the Temple being compared to the watchtower into which the shepherds went for shelter in a storm or for protection from robbers. It is also called the strong hold. Zion is not a mountain but only a small hill, about 400 feet above the valley; yet the prophet saw it rising grandly and surely until it was lifted up far above the loftest summits of the highest mountains on earth. He saw restored the first dominion, the glory that was his nation's under David and Solomon; yes, even more than that, since he saw many nations flow unto it to learn of the ways of Jehovah, the teachings of the true religion. Flow implies an impetuous, voluntary onrush, like the inward sweep of the 60-foot tides in the Bay of Fundy. Nations then will be "born in a day." Converts will come by Pentecosts. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. It is from this triumphant Church of God that universal peace will spring. It cannot come from any other source. The central thought of this magnificent passage is the reign of Messiah, that which all our churches exist to establish. The most striking evidence of that reign is the inauguration of universal peace. An effective federation of the nations, such as might fitly be called "The United States of the World," will take the place of war. It will have a world constitution, a world legislature, a world judiciary, and a world executive, just as individual nations now have these instruments of government. We can inaugurate the reign of peace by helping the peace societies do their noble work. By studying the question in Sunday schools and public schools. By an earnest advocacy and study of missions, which do more than anything else to cultivate the spirit of love for other peoples, and understanding of them. By protesting against the war spirit in congress and against the appropriation of vast sums for unnecessary warships. What are recent gains in the direction of international peace and federation? The establishment of the international court of arbitration at The Hague, which is the beginning of the world judiciary. The enacting by the nations of more than eighty treaties agreeing to submit disputes to The Hague court for arbitration. The peaceful settlement of more than 600 international disputes, some of them most dangerous, such as that caused by the firing of the Russian fleet upon British fishing vessels in the North sea. The establishing of the Central American high court of nations. The forming of the international bureau of American republics. The placing of a beautiful statue of Christ upon the summit of the Andes between Chile and Argentina, in token of their agreement not to fight each other. The forming of the interparliamentary union, a large body made up of members of the various national parliaments and congresses, working steadily for peace. The beginning of a world executive by the formation of many international bureaus, such as the universal postal union, the international bureau of agriculture, and the international committee of weights and measures. The growing opposition to war on the part of financial institutions and business men and on the part of organized labor. When the laboring men of the world declare that they will no longer serve in armies and the business men declare that they will no longer pay for war, this terrible curse will surely be at an end. Pat and his little brown mare were familiar sights to the people of the town of Garry. The mare was lean, blind and lame, but by dint of much coaxing Pat kept her to the harness. One day while leading her to water he had to pass a corner where a crowd of would-be sports had congregated. Thinking to have some amusement at Pat's expense, one called out: "Hullo, there, Pat. I'm looking for the real goods. How much is that mare of yours able to draw?" "Begora," said Pat, "I can't say exactly, but she seems to be able to draw the attentun of every fool in town."—The Housekeeper. CURED ITCHING AND BURNING "I was taken with the itch in April, 1904, and used most everything. I had a friend pay me a visit from Cumberland, and she advised me to use Cuticura Remedies which I did. The cure was certainly quick, and I use them to this day. I had it terribly under my knees. I only used one box of pills, but two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and I use the Cuticura Soap all the time. I hope this will benefit others, as it has me, after Dr. — and others could do nothing for me." (Signed) Miss Lu Johnson, 1523 Ninth St., N. W., Washington, D. C., April 3, 1910. In a later letter Miss Johnson adds: "The trouble began with an eruption under my knees, and extended upwards toward my waist, until I was not able to sit down. It kept a constant itching and burning all the time, night and day. I went to my doctor, but he could do me no good after I do not know how many medicines he gave me, and then told me I would be compelled to go to a skin specialist, which I positively refused to do. I cried all the time. Finally I made up my mind to try Cuticura Remedies, and tried Cuticura Pills, Ointment and Soap, and was entirely cured of the itching three days after I started using them. The healing took about eight days. I consider Cuticura Remedies marvelous, and would recommend them everywhere." Cuticura Remedies are sold throughout the world. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

T is difficult to imagine America's annual Memorial day without flowers.

To be sure, flags are also made use of T is difficult to imagine America's annual Memorial day without flowers. Indeed, Decoration day, the other name by which this spring commemorative festival is so often designated, carries an intimation of how dependent this day of sad memories is upon the bright-eyed blossoms that serve as the most appropriate of all tokens of remembrance. To be sure, flags are also made use of extensively on Memorial day—not only in the ornamentation of dwellings and places of business, but in marking the graves of fallen heroes whom it is desired to honor on this occasion. After all, however, it is flowers which are most extensively relied upon to express the sentiment of the occasion. And in the broad term "flowers" are included the flowering plants, the ivy and other of nature's products that are employed to form the wreaths which are so popular on Memorial day. All told there are infinitely more flowers used on Memorial day than are employed at Easter and yet the general public does not hear so much of the Memorial day "flower trade," nor have its magnitude so conspicuously brought home. The explanation is found, of course, in the circumstance that the Easter flower trade is almost wholly in the hands of the professional florists PREPARING and GLOBAL PREPARING WREATHS and FLOCAL DESIGNS whose interest it is to make their activities occupy as large a place as possible in the public eye. At Memorial day, on the other hand, the regular flower marts, although they have a "rush season" in consequence of the holiday, supply but a fraction of the flowers that are placed on the graves of the nation's warriors. The vast preponderance of the flowers that are used to express the love and gratitude of the people of the republic on the yearly-recurring Memorial day are home-grown posies whose cultivation with a view to such ultimate use is as much a labor of love as is the strowing of the blossoms on the graves. Or, at least the flowers are for the most part garden blooms rather than the frail products of the hot houses. Indeed the selection of May 30 as Memorial day in a large proportion of the states of the union was made primarily because it was an occasion when spring was presumed to be in her most attractive garb and when the spring floral harvest is at its height. Similarly the southern states, being assured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier dates, have, as much for this reason as for any other, chosen as Memorial day dates that seemed to mark the culmination of the floral flood in their respective states rather than strict conformity with the date at the end of May, which is so universally observed in the eastern, northern and western states and in the more northerly of the commonwealths of Dixie. This will explain why certain of the states, notably those of the Gulf of Mexico, observe Memorial day days or weeks in advance of the remainder of the sisterhood of states. The use of flowers on Memorial day is varied and appears to be growing more so as time goes on. At first suggestion of the occasion the reader is apt to think only of the custom of placing bouquets and wreaths in garlands on the grassy mounds beneath which repose in their last dreamless sleep the boys in blue and gray who gave up their lives in defense of their flag. But as a matter of fact it is a long-established custom for the American people generally to choose this occasion to place specially elaborate decorations upon the graves, of loved ones, even though those whose memory is thus honored had naught to do with the stress and strife, the sacrifices of which Memorial day is primarily intended to commemorate. One of the comparatively new uses of flowers on Memorial day, which has grown greatly in recent years, is the custom of placing wreaths of floral festoons or other similar tributes upon the statues which have been erected in the various American cities to our war-time heroes. At the national capital, where there are more than two dozen such statues, the pedestals are also draped with American flags. This decoration of the statues in parks and public buildings throughout the land is, of course, quite aside from the usual placing of tributes at the graves of these self-same heroes. Another interesting and beautiful new use of flowers on Memorial GROWING FLOWERS FOR MEMORIAL DAY ley lines in order to convey the tons of blooms needed for the great memorial ornamentation. And, speaking of the interurban electric lines it may be added that these roads now make it possible to decorate with flowers the graves of soldiers in many a country cemetery which, under the old conditions, could not readily be reached by members of the organizations of veterans and other bodies that aim to see to it that no soldier's grave is unadorned on this significant occasion. Almost every known variety of flowers that bloom in the spring is employed to a greater or less extent on Decoration day, but naturally the wild flowers of the season are especially popular for this purpose. In the sections where the season is sufficiently advanced the roses and peonies are great favorites on this occasion and in the cooler climes violets and the hardy "pinks" are used extensively. In the more southernly states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuckle make admirable Decoration day festoons and at Arlington and other great national cemeteries it seems as though Memorial day has been timed to find the gorgeous purple wistaria at the climax of its glory. The mountain laurel is another floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes of the holiday, but of course it is not obtainable in all sections of the country. In recent years the use of natural flowers on Memorial day has been supplemented by the extensive use of artificial flowers, particularly in the form of wreaths or designs emblematic of war-time badges or flags. However, the "art flower designs" of the present day are indeed a revelation as compared with the crude attempts of some years ago. Some of the Decoration day designs are executed in metal, tinted to counterfeit nature, and this form is of course very permanent, but most artistic effects of lasting character are also being obtained by means of fine waxed crepe paper flowers. Such designs are being employed to an increasing extent under all circumstances where it is necessary to send Memorial day designs long distances. However, the White House at Washington, which sends such remembrances to various parts of the country, always employs natural flowers from the president's conservatories. "John, we have been married for nearly twenty years; I want you to tell me something." "Oh, yes, Mary, you look just as young and as girlish as you did the first time I ever saw you; I have learned to love you more and more as the years have drifted by; I wouldn't be free again if I had a chance; if you were to die I shouldn't think of marrying any other woman, but I'd spend the rest of my life pining for you; I admit that your family is much superior to mine; I realize that I never should have amounted to anything if it had not been for your influence; you are the best manager I ever saw; your new spring hat is very becoming; you look fifteen years younger than Mrs. Branstwaite; yes, I like very much the way you are wearing your hair; I think of you steadily all day; I am sure that any young woman who would look at me twice would do so only because she wished to make a fool of me, and I acknowledge that you make a much better showing than any other woman could make on our income. Now is there anything else? I'm in a good deal of a hurry this morning."—Chicago Record-Herald TRANSPORTING FLOWERS BY AUTO day is found in the practice of setting afloat huge baskets of miniature ships laden with flowers as a tribute to the American sailors who have given up their lives for the Stars and Stripes. These flowers are quickly borne out of sight by the waves, and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment of the occasion is served. ley lines needed for And, spee it may be possible soldiers der the reached beans and no soldier occasion. As death has year by year remorselessly thinned the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Confederate Veterans and other organizations of one-time soldiers there has of necessity been a change in the plan of bearing flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the graves of those who have answered to the call of "taps." The approved plan was to have in each community on the significant day a procession to the cemetery in which the principal participants were little girls dressed in white, each carrying a huge bouquet or basket of flowers and, marching beside or behind these flower bearers, an equal number of veterans, each with a wreath of evergreen or holly or ivy on his arm. When the procession arrived at the cemetery the participants distributed themselves throughout the burying ground until a little girl with flowers and a veteran with a wreath stood beside each grave marked with a tiny American flag. Then at a prearranged signal all the flowers and wreaths were placed simultaneously upon the graves of the comrades whom death has "mustered out." This impressive ceremony, and there could be nothing more appropriate, is yet followed in countless communities, but there have had to be many modifications. For one thing the graves to be decorated have become much more numerous, whereas the number of surviving veterans who are able to march to the cemetery with their wreaths has dwindled appreciably. A solution has been found, in many places, by drafting for this task members of the Sons of Veterans or other organizations made up of children of old soldiers and also veterans of the Spanish-American war, many of whom are comparatively young men and who are sufficiently numerous to decorate the graves of their own fallen comrades and also the resting places of the heroes of the earlier wars. Another factor that has operated to influence a change in the use of flowers on Memorial day is the growth in the size of many of our cities. In towns and small cities it is still practicable for the Decoration day host to march to the cemetery, but in all the larger cities it has become very much of a problem. In many instances cemeteries are so remote from the central part of the city that it is unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt to march and out of the question to allow flower girls of tender years to trudge through the streets for hours at a stretch. Consequently it has become customary under such circumstances to convey the flowers in quantities to the cemeteries and there distribute them to those who are to participate in the decorating program. For this delivery of flowers the modern motor car has proven a most convenient vehicle and in all our large cities on the morning of Memorial day one may now see the heavily laden "flower cars" spinning along on their way to the cemeteries. The speedy horseless vehicles have also proven a boon in the collecting of the flowers for Memorial day, always heretofore a serious problem to the public-spirited citizens who have-charge of this work and who could only plead with the people of the community to get their donations of flowers to the town hall early, but usually found that their most emphatic appeals were insufficient to get the posies to the rendezvous in time to permit of their proper arrangement in time for the starting of the parade at the scheduled hour. The bringing of flowers to the larger cities on Memorial day has been further simplified by the fact that in many localities special flower trains are operated by the steam railroads and the interurban trol- order to convey the tons of blooms of the great memorial ornamentation, king of the interurban electric lines, added that these roads now make it decorate with flowers the graves of many a country cemetery which, under conditions, could not readily be members of the organizations of veterinary bodies that aim to see to it that grave is unadorned on this significant every known variety of flowers that the spring is employed to a greater or on Decoration day, but naturally the most of the season are especially popular purpose.

In the making of pudding sauces, our cooks are as apt to get into ruts and serve the same sauce day after day, as in serving other dishes. A new sauce will change the character of a pudding and make it seem like an entirely new dish. Cocoanut Sauce.—To the milk of a cocoanut add a cupful of sugar, a half cup of grated cocoanut, two tablespoonfuls of butter, cooked together with a tablespoonful of flour. Mix all the ingredients together and serve hot. The juices left from canned fruits are most delicious made into sauces, by adding a little cornstarch for thickening and a bit of butter for richness. Duchess Sauce.—Boll two ounces of grated chocolate in one cupful of milk for five minutes, add the yolks of two eggs well beaten with half a cup of sugar and a quarter of a cup of cream; strain and return to the fire. Stir until thick as honey, then take from the fire and add a teaspoonful of vanilla. Maple Sugar Sauce—Put into a double boiler a cup and a half of grated maple sugar, four tablespoonfuls of butter, beat to a cream. Then add four tablespoonfuls of sweet cream and the juice of a lemon, set into boiling water until melted to a thick creamy froth. Peach Sauce—To a cupful of peach juice saved from canned peaches add an equal amount of water, sugar to taste and a quarter of a cup of raisins. Boll together ten minutes and just before serving add a few drops of almond extract. A little cornstarch may be added if liked with thickening, and cooked well to remove the raw starch taste. A nice hard sauce may be made by using a half cup each of butter and sugar, well creamed, and the yolks of two eggs added, with flavoring, and set on ice to become firm. NOT all on books their criticisms waste. The genius of a dish some justly taste And eat their way to fame. LET THE SUNSHINE IN. "Clear the darkened windows, open wide the door, let the blessed sunshine in." Did you ever notice a plant that had grown in a dark place? Was it beautiful, green and thrifty? New things that grow without sunsnine are perfect or beautiful, and children as well as grown-ups need the purifying, lifegiving and healing power of the sunlight. The home that has the drawn curtains that exclude the light will be the home where nervousness, ill temper and general ill health are found. The sunlight is the best germicide known, and it should flood our homes. Keep the windows open in the day for the sun and at night for the pure sweet air. During the hot weather a house well aired in the morning and then closed through the heat of the day, will always be cool and comfortable. Helpful Hints. If you have occasion to use a very large roast, perhaps you don't know that it is a good idea to roast it rather rare the first day, then cut off what is wanted and roast it again. When cooking bass, try this method—one used by a well-known chef: Thoroughly scrape and dry the fish, fill with several slices of bacon that have been dripped in chopped onion and parsley, then seasoned with pepper and salt. Wind the fish with a string, and fry or broll for 30 minutes. Serve with melted butter and lemon. To keep greens fresh, wash and drain them and place in a large jar or kettle, which may be covered tightly, and if kept in a cool place until needed, the greens will keep crisp and fresh for several days. Use white embroidery cotton to make buttonholes in thin white goods. They are much easier made, and wear as well as when thread is used. White cotton crepe waists may be washed and dried over a clothes hanger and a fresh waist is always ready with no ironing. XQUISITE music and beauti- A PROGRESSIVE DINNER PARTY. Here is an idea which is not new, but which has been tried most successfully by many hostesses. This arrangement relieves the hostess of the strain of entertaining to a great extent, and does away with the usual stiffness which is the particular horror of one entertaining. Have several small tables; each may have a distinctly different decoration. At one small table the hostess sits, and she selects one of her friends to preside at each of the other tables. To these falls the duty to promote the enjoyment of the guests. As the groups change, between each course, a delightful feeling of sociability follows each change. Beside being an easier way of entertaining one's friends, the smaller tables lend themselves to decoration and make a prettier general effect than one long one. The colors may be arranged in harmony, as a white, pink and green table, with flowers in keeping with the color. RECIPES WORTH TRYING RECIPES WORTH TRYING. When an emergency soup is wanted, take a tablespoonful of peanut butter worked to a paste with milk. Scald a cup and a half of milk with a slice of onion. Melt a tablespoonful of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour. Pour the scalded milk slowly on this, and when smooth season with salt and pepper to taste. When serving pea soup, garnish with a tablespoonful of finely-chopped mint. Breakfast Dish—Toast six slices of bread in a slow oven until a golden brown. Butter and dip into a little hot cream or milk, just long enough to moisten. Peel half a dozen bananas and put them through a ricer. Place a generous tablespoonful on each slice. This makes a nice luncheon dish also. Rhubarb Sponge.—Line a mold with pieces of sponge cake; pour over stewed rhubarb, then put another layer of cake. Put a plate with a weight on top, and after a few hours turn out on a plate and serve with custard. AKE is acceptable at every AKE is acceptable at every kind of luncheon. Cakes were invented for that meal, for five o'clock tea, weddings and for school boys only. DIET FOR CONSUMPTION. Doctor Osler, the great medical authority says: "The cure for consumption or tuberculosis is a question of nutrition; make a person grow fat and the local disease may be left to take care of itself." To force the body to take on fat is the great problem, then, as the weight is increased the strength and vitality is also increased. A method tried and proven more than satisfactory is that of drinking the last milk or strippings from the cow. Of course, choice of a cow is most important; one that gives milk rich in cream and wholly free from tuberculosis taint. The method of taking the milk is simple, but must be carefully followed in order to reap the reward. The last quart is milked into a dish which is surrounded by hot water in order to insure the milk from cooling. The froth is blown back and the milk drunk without straining, as that will cool it too much. At first it is not easy to drink a quart, but after a week or two it is easily done, and patients after a short treatment gain nearly a pound a day. This milk taken warm into the empty stomach is absorbed in a very short time. The patient will then take the regular meals in addition to the milk, those foods which agree. Such treatment may be taken at home. The price of a good cow is not to be mentioned with expensive trips to sanitariums or a change of climate. Those who object to milk will take it as a medicine, and later grow fond of it. The prescribed treatment is a quart night and morning. It is easy on a farm to take this treatment; but many have tried it and found it most satisfactory even in a city. This same diet is equally efficacious in increasing the weight and strength when debilitated from other causes. It is well to remember that milk is not a beverage, but a food, and should be taken in sips, a little at a time, to avoid making hard indigestible curds in the stomach. Nellie Marwell. Too Few Elopements in England. "What we want in England is more elopements. If people would only get married they would, in nine cases out of ten, live happily ever after, where as if they wait they end in parting." This unusual point of view is taken by Mrs. York-Miller, the Anglo-American authoress. She was discussing a recently decided case in which a girl sued a man for breach of promise after being engaged to him for six years. Nearly all that time they were happy and then came a breaking off of the engagement, with subsequent damages against the defendant. "They should elope and get married," she said, "it is the way to be happy. And people should not have long engagements. The time of the engagement is a trying period that wears out the patience and results to boredom and separation. Yet, probably, had they married their union would have been happy."—London Mirror EL CE eer pies THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, nce stermnes KANSAS. eS Established in 1898, W. N. MILLER, Editon. N. B.

MILLER, Editor 630 N. Main St., Wichita, Kan. agents wanted everywhere Agents wanted everywhere RIVALS GRANDEUR of SWISS LAKES by Edine Francis Tisdel B comparatively small space between Mexico and the Isthmus of Panama lies, as it were, the Land of Promise—a promise of wealth incalculable to the realm of commerce, through the cultivation and development of marvelously rich and fertile countries which are being opened up with wonderful rapidity by the network of railroads that are spreading throughout the five beautiful republics of Central America. More than a land of promise to the archaeologist, who has here a vast field for research wherein to unravel the mystery which surrounds the history of the ancient American civilization and throw some light upon the origin of the people whose wonderful works are evidenced in the ruins of prehistoric cities found hidden in dense tropical forests. A land of beautiful realities to even the ordinary tourist, who finds easily accessible a wealth of scenic beauty unsurpassed and a perfection of climate rarely equaled. This is particularly true of Guatemala, the most northern of the Central American republics and our nearest neighbor after Mexico. It is reached by a three days' delightful sail on the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast of British Honduras. The fine new ships of the United Fruit company give every luxury and comfort of ocean travel, and Guatemala, in the very near future, will become the Mecca of those desiring to escape the cold and gloom of a northern winter. Nowhere in the world can be found more magnificent and varied scenery than that which greets the traveler, especially in the lake regions of this lovely republic. Of the four larger lakes—Peten, lying far to the north; Yzabal, near the Atlantic coast; Amatitlan, on the Guatemala Central railroad not far from Guatemala City, and Atitlan, tucked away in the mountains near the Pacific coast—there is small choice. Differing so widely, each in its way is perfect, characteristic of its location and climate. Upon our arrival at Puerto Barrios we concluded to visit Lake Yazbal before going up to the City of Guatemala. After one night of rest, therefore, we boarded the little mail boat which carried us out from the landlocked bay, a short distance across the Gulf of Amatique and along the shore line, where graceful palms stirred lazily in the perfumed breeze, to Livingston. This town is picturesquely situated on a bluff at the mouth of the Rio Dulce, or Sweet river. A new hotel, with comfortable rooms and excellent cuisine, has lately been opened here, and a day or two may be well spent enjoying the many unusual scenes in this quaint little town. From the porch of the Hotel Rio Dulce we look down through a maze of palm trees, across the thatched roofs of the town, to the sparkling waters of the bay, where the Caribs dart back and forth in graceful canoes. In a kneeling posture and with only the use of a paddle, they skim across the water with incredible speed. The air is heavy with the scent of jasmine and gardenias; the gleam of oranges and the tiny golden balls of the cumquat meet the eye at every turn, and towering above all the great spreading branches of the wonderful breadfruit tree. Lake Yazbal lies about 50 miles inland and a regular line of steamers ply between Livingston and Pansoz, in the interior on the Polochic river. We did not, however, avail ourselves of this usual means of transportation, having had a launch placed at our disposal. For the first ten miles we followed the winding course of the Rio Dulce, the beauty of which is only comparable to that of the far-famed Saguenay. By some terrible convulsion of nature, the mountains have been rent asunder and through picturesque canyons and gorges this lovely river wends its majestic course to the sea. The shores gradually draw nearer together and we soon find ourselves shut in between towering walls of green, rising to a height of 400 to 500 feet, with dense tropical vegetation and graceful overhanging vines lazily swaying in the breeze. Here the water seems to be motionless, its glassy surface reflecting in absolute perfection of detail each leaf and flower, and not a sound breaks the silence. The only signs of life are the hundreds of beautiful white Garza, the birds which furnish Dame Fashion with the much-desired and ever-expensive aigrette. We passed occasionally a native drifting downstream in his dugout, or pitpan, as these canoes are called—his cargo a bunch of bananas or a string of fish. The shores again receded and we entered the Gulf of Golfete, a pretty body of water some ten miles in length and dotted with numerous islands. Another narrow channel and we finally entered the lake proper. A beautiful picture is before us—the lovely expanse of water with its wooded shores rising gradually to the rugged Sierras de las Minas, to the south, and the Santacruz mountains, to the north. Here stand the picturesque ruins of the old Spanish fort of San Felipe, built in 1525 by Hernando Cortez during his march from Mexico to Honduras and erected to protect the approach to the town of Yzabal, which ORED by the loveliness of Norway flords and grown weary of the soft beauty of the Italian and the rugged grandeur of the Swiss lakes, the blase globe trotter turns in search of new enchanted spot where the realization that it is seen for the first time lends again some zest to life. The world is fast grasping the fact that in the LAKE ISADAL TEMPLE OF MINERVIA LAKE AMATITLAN LAKE ATITLAN C IN THE LAKE COUNTRY at that time was the principal port of entry. It is now of small importance, the sandbar having formed across the mouth of the Rio Dulce, which prevents vessels drawing over 16 feet of water from reaching this inland sea. Large brass cannon, bearing the date 1496, have been found scattered among the ruins of this old fortification. Neither pen nor brush can do justice to the wild beauty of the Polochic river, and those in search of new sensations can enjoy the unique experience of traveling in perfect safety through a tropical wilderness, where gayly colored parrots and inquisitive monkeys chatter at the intruder from overhanging branches, and crocodiles, with wide open mouths, lie basking in the sun. This is the main route to the coast for the natives of the Coban and Peten districts, who bring their produce in canoes down the river to Lake Yzabal and thus to the markets of Livingston. On the Polochic, near Panzos, is situated the great rubber plantation of "Tinajas," which covers 155,000 acres of land. It is owned by the Guatemala Central railroad and is one of the most important and richest estates of its kind in Central America. In the northern part of the country lies the great lake of Peten, or San Andres, of which comparatively little is known, except to antiquarians. Situated in a wild, almost uninhabited part of the country, perhaps the richest in all Guatemala, it is difficult of access. This immense body of fresh water, 27 miles long and having a shore line of 70 miles, is dotted with numerous islands. On the largest of these is the town of Flores, with about 15,000 inhabitants. Near Flores are the ruins of a buried city, with stone images and monoliths covered with hieroglyphics, showing the unread history of a people which dwelt in the midst of this primeval forest ages ago. At Lake Amatitlan we find ourselves on a much visited lake. The borders of this lovely body of water, lying only 18 miles to the south of Guatemala City, are the playgrounds of the capital. For 15 miles along its curved shore line run the tracks of the Guatemala central railroad, which, particularly on Sundays and holidays, carries many excursionists to the town of Amatitlan, the favorite resort of plnickers. Situated at an altitude of nearly 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, 12 miles long and 3 miles wide, it is very deep and gives rise to a river, the Guastoya, which has its outlet in the Pacific ocean, 12 miles south of the port of San Jose, where it is 12 miles wide. At the station of Laguna we find a nice PICTURESQUE SCENE IN GUATEMALA little hotel, with wide porches which overlook the rippling blue waters and from where we can look across to the rich green slope of the giant volcano, Agua, which rises in one magnificent, unbroken sweep to the height of 13,000 feet. Behind it one catches a glimpse of the jagged crest of Fuego. Amatitlan presents much to interest the sci- entist. The waters are strongly impregnated with sulphur and iron, and many people come here for the baths. In cases of rheumatism some remarkable cures have been made. A curious phenomenon, which is a yearly occurrence, generally during the month of March, is an eruption which takes place at the bottom of the lake, and great quantities of sulphur rise to the surface of the water. This, for a time, is the death knell of the fish. At all other times, however, the sportsman can indulge in his favorite pastime to his heart's content. The markets of Guatemala City are daily supplied from this lake, the Mojara, a small pan fish of fine flavor, being very plentiful. Fried to a crisp brown and piping hot, these are sold by Indian women at all the stations along the lake. Several attempts have been made to cultivate the spawn of imported white fish, but when grown to a good size the native fishermen practically exhausted the stock. Large pieces of pumice stone are found floating on the surface of the water and along the shore. In the boiling springs which abound is done the laundry work of the city, the women taking advantage of this water heated by nature and ever ready for use. Groups of dark-skinned Indian women, in their gayly colored native costumes, kneeling by the deep blue waters amidst piles of snowy linen, present a most attractive and fascinating picture. There is also a novelty about a picnic, when eggs can be cooked without trouble by merely dropping them into one of Mother Nature's ever-boiling pots. It has been my good fortune to see many lakes in different parts of the world, but never have I seen one more exquisitely beautiful than the curious crater lake of Atitlan, incomparable for grandeur of scenery and perfection of climate. In the southwestern part of Guatemala, some 35 miles from the railroad and at an altitude of 5,000 feet, nature seems, on the borders of this silent body of water, to have reached the culmination of her handiwork. Discovered first by the Spaniards in 1524, Alvarado was here victorious in a desperate battle with the natives, and, exploring the surrounding country, took possession in the name of Spain. In the very heart of the mountains we find this lake, 30 miles in length and 10 miles in breadth. Although many streams empty their waters into it, there is no visible outlet and its depth is unknown, no soundings having been made with a line of more than 300 fathoms. It is impossible to describe the charm and witchery of this country, bathed in moonlight, the scarcity at each step becoming more im- pressive. We forded rushing, tumbling mountain streams, looking like cascades of silver, and we rode through silent Indian villages, where the inhabitants were sleeping in front of their strange little bamboo huts. The only sound to break the silence was the plaintive call of the whippoorwill. We reached the village of San Lucas, on the borders of the lake, and there we found in readiness the little steamer which was to take us across to the hotel on the opposite shore, a trip of an hour and a half. Words are inadequate to portray the scene which was before us. The great expanse of water lay like molten silver in the moonlight, the mountains, solemn and awe-inspiring, standing in serried ranks like giant sentinels to guard this treasure A soft, pearly mist hung over all, but not so dense as to hide the perfect outline of the three great volcanoes—the two Atilians and San Pedro. These stupendous giants rise to the height of nearly 12,000 feet and fall in one unbroken sweep to the water's edge. In this peaceful spot the days slip by unheeded. The world and its busy life beyond the towering mountains is forgotten and we drift out upon a sea of romance and poetry. There are many delightful excursions to be made in the vicinity, eleven quaint Indian villages, named after the apostles, dotting the shores; considerable commerce is carried on between these towns by means of canoes, and the steam launch makes the round of the lake regularly twice a week. The town of Atitlan is very picturesquely situated on a bay running inland between the two volcanoes—San Pedro and Atitlan. Not far away, snuggled close to the water's edge at the foot of Atitlan, is the "Cerro del Oro"—Mountain of Gold—where a great treasure is believed by the natives to lie buried, and the ruins of an old fort can be vaguely discerned. Two thousand feet above the lake is the large town of Solola, capital of the province of the same name and a center of commerce. Here is obtained a fine view of the surrounding country, but by far the most beautiful is that from the height of Godines. We find ourselves at an altitude of 8,000 feet and the whole world appears to lie before us. It is true we have not the snow peaks of Switzerland, but instead is the unusual spectacle of range after range of mountains on all sides, dominated by the majestic heads of great volcanoes, seven in all, magnificent in their imposing grandeur and jealously guarding the beautiful lake, which, like a great sapphire, lies 3,000 feet below. The filmy vell of mist which is characteristic of this region during the greater part of the year occasionally melts away, and as we stood on this spot, speechless before the wonder of this panorama, it seemed for our benefit alone to have crept silently away in the night, and earth and sky and water were perfectly revealed, outvying each other in deepest tones of blue. But even as we gazed soft clouds formed in the valleys below and crept stealthily up, writhing and twisting like great white snakes, until once more they had encircled the mountains like giant serpents whose power even the great hills could not withstand. Nature seemed to say that we had looked already too long upon her secret treasures, and softly but swiftly she again drew around them the gauzy mantle in which, except at rare intervals, she keeps them wrapped. The Starling and the Organ New York's big new Cathedral of St. John the Divine, on Morningside Heights, already has a permanent tenant. This is a starling, which apparently has settled in a shadowy niche high up above the organ, built a nest there and designs to rear a family. The starling lends a decidedly English touch to the massive structure. From its lofty perch it looks down curiously on the assembled worshippers, as though they, not it, were the interlopers, as no doubt it feels they are. But when the organ is being played the starling forgets intrusion to join in the music. It swells its throat and starts out bravely to drown the thunder of the mighty instrument. Presently a look of perplexity steals across its countenance. It has found something against which its own shrill tones beat themselves into silence. And then it ceases its attempt at rivalry and surrenders itself to the pleasure of listening. It is a good listener. As long as the organ continues it remains attentive, confessing by its attitude that here is something superior even to bird song. that is caused by impure, impoverished blood or low, run-down condition of the system, is burdensome and discouraging. Do not put up with it, but take Hood's Sarsaparilla, which removes it as nothing else does. "I had that tired feeling, had no appetite and no ambition to do anything. A friend advise me to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was soon that tired feeling was gone, I had no appetite and felt well. I believe Hood's saved me from a long illness." Mrs. B. Johnson, Westfield, N.

"Hard luck!" exclaimed Watson. "You fellows don't know what hard luck is. I claim that I hold the 24-hour record for hard luck. When I was a boy I lived in the Pennsylvania oil country, and my grandfather owned a big farm down there. They had never found oil within five or six miles of grandfather's place, but they were gradually edging along in his direction, and we all expected that sooner or later somebody would uncover a gusher there. That would mean a fortune for grandfather, and as I was his only heir I naturally took considerable interest in the matter. "Well, one day a rich oil man came along and made an offer for grandfather's farm. They had struck a good well near by, and everybody had come to the conclusion that grandfather's farm was in the middle of the oil belt. Our friends advised against the acceptance of the first offer, which would have been 20 times as much as the farm would have been worth if no oil had been there, but it was certain that if oil were discovered on the farm we could get $50,000, and perhaps $100,000, more than the price mentioned by the first bidder. "Seeing that grandfather wouldn't sell, the man leased a couple of acres from him and started to put down a test well. It was expected that they would have to drill about a thousand feet to reach the sand in which the oil was located, and when they got down that far not a sign of oil had been found. So they decided to torpedo the thing. "The scheme was to put a lot of nitroglycerin into the well and blow it up. That often made gushers of what at first seemed to be dry holes. They brought a large quantity of the explosive stuff to the farm and stored it in a little shed, expecting to blow up the well the next day. Here's where the hard luck comes in. "It happened that I had a goat and this goat got into the shed where the explosive was stored. Boylike I rushed in to get the goat out, and grandfather and a crowd of the well drillers saw me. They were horror-stricken. For a moment nobody could move or even speak. Then grandfather offered his farm to any one who would rescue me. One of the drillers accepted the offer and entered the shed, where he succeeded in getting the goat by the horns just before he had butted into the can of nitroglucerin. "He flung the goat out through the open door of the shed and then, catching me in his arms, carried me out in safety to grandfather. The old gentleman insisted on deeding the place over to him then and there. The next day they attempted to torpedo the well, and then it was discovered that the can which was supposed to be full of nitroglycerin contained nothing but lard, and the goat died of the shock it sustained when it was thrown out of the shed. Eventually the well turned out to be a gusher. One-Third of a Wife. Before a crowded, fashionable in intensely-interested audience, assembled in the Philharmonic hall, Liverpool, some time ago, Dr. Sven Hedin, the distinguished Swedish explorer, imparted much interesting information regarding his recent expedition into Tibet. A few sentences were devoted to the marriage laws of the Tibetans. It was the custom for a woman to have two or three, or even more, brothers as her husbands. Three brothers would thus have one-third of a wife each—which ought to be quite sufficient, for the women were extremely ugly. When the eldest of the brothers chose a wife the others had to agree. And this was a remarkable thing. In European countries it was the custom to ask a father how many children he had got; in Tibet it was the custom to ask the children, "How many fathers have you got?" And the answer might be, "I have three—my great father, my middle father, and my little father." In Defense of the Primrose. Poisonous or not, the primrose was largely consumed by our forefathers, who endowed it with a variety of medicinal properties. The flowers sodden in vinegar were applied externally for the king's evil, and boiled in wine were taken internally for "all diseases of the breast and lungs," and one famous London practitioner also prescribed the primrose boiled as a strengthening diet for convalescents. As late as 1837 the primrose could be found in English dispensatories as a sedative. But, apart from its consumption by invalids, the primrose had its place in the bill of fare, and primrose pastry, made of dough and the flowers chopped up fine and mixed with sugar, was a common dish in Lancashire.—London Chronicle.

Death Lurks In A Weak Heart SHE SUFFERED FIVE YEARS Finally Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Erie, Pa.—"I suffered for five years from female troubles and at last was almost helpless. I went to three doctors and they did me no good, so my sister advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and when I had taken only two bottles I could see a big change, so I took six bottles and I am went to three doctors and they did no good, so my sister advised me to try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and when I had taken only two bottles I could see a big change, so I took six bottles and I am now strong and well again. I don't know how to express my thanks for the good it has done me and I hope all suffering women will give Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It was worth its weight in gold."—Mrs. J. P. ENDLICH, R. F. D. No. 7, Erie, Pa. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful drugs, and to-day holds the record for the largest number of actual cures of female diseases we know of, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., from women who have been cured from almost every form of female complaints, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration. Every suffering woman owes it to herself to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. If you want special advice write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for it. It is free and always helpful. Just Hopes. A gentleman never snatches his trousers away from his wife when he discovers her going through his pockets. He only hopes she will leave him enough with which to go downtown in the morning. He is perfectly welcome to go through her purse any time and help himself to anything he can find. That is what married life means. A man should not allow his feelings to be hurt when his wife runs across loose change or a roll in his pockets; he ought to play the game and take such little conjugal pastimes for granted. Who She Was. "Well," laughed Squiggles. "some men never know when they are snubbed! That lady you just spoke to was about as distant as they make 'em in her greeting." "Well, why shouldn't she be?" retorted Jabbers. "She's a distant relative of mine." "By marriage?" "No—by divorce. She got rid of me at Sloux Falls back in 1898."—Harper's Weekly. SUGGEST IT.

HE HAD $400.00 IN CASH IN 1903; NOW WORTH $8,000.00. My parents were originally Canadians from Essex County, Ontario. I was born in Monroe County, Michigan, from which place I moved to Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, where I farmed for 22 years. I sold my farm there in the summer of 1903 and in September of that year came to Canada with my wife and eight children. I had about $400 in cash, team of horses, a cow, a few sheep and some chickens. I took up a quarter section of land near Jack Fish Lake, Meota P. O., and later on purchased for $2,000.00 an adjoining quarter section. I have now 48 head of cattle, a number of horses, good buildings and consider my holding is worth at least $8,000.00. My children have raised from $300 to $500 worth of garden truck each year since we have been here. I have never had a poor crop and have never had one frosted. My wheat has averaged from 25 to 30 bushels per acre with one or two years considerably more. My oats have always yielded well up to 50 bushels per acre and once or twice as high as 85. My cattle have never been stabled in winter, and do not need it. I consider that this country offers better opportunities for settlers than anywhere I have ever been. I am sure that almost any person can come here and buy land at say $15.00 per acre and pay for it in one crop. My experience is that if a man farms his land in the right way he is 'not likely to have his crop frosted. Most of the settlers in my district are Americans and Canadians and I know lots of them who came here with little or no capital who are now doing well, but I do not know of any who have left through disappointment, or becoming discouraged, have returned to their former homes.

Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is “An t of the beaked whales of the Bey Ziphidee in the collection of United States National museum, jwith remarks on some spectmens in American museums,” by Dr. lerick W. True, head curator of department of biology in the States National museum. ‘The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three gen- ‘era only specimens representing about 200 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidse are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradtus, ‘and to the discussions of these with (heir individual spectes Doctor ‘True has devoted his attention. ‘The second of these bulletins, No ‘%, is “On Some West Indian Echim olds,” by the well known authority, ‘Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulle- tm is the list of North American and ‘West Indian Echinolds, which he has earefully compiled from the spect mens obtained by the Blake and the Albatross. The bulletin is beautifully Mlustrated by 16 full-page plates of ‘these interesting forms of marine life WAS NOT A BEAUTY LECTURE Timid Little Woman Found Herself Beeking Dress Hints at Federe- 'tlon of Club Women. “The conservation of the natural re ources of this country is one of the paramount issues before the American people today and—” ‘The speaker adjusted her nose glasses, raised her oyes confidently from her manuscript to meet the ex- pressions of approval from the thirty @ more clubwomen of Iowa, says the Des Moines Register and Leader. It was a stupendous statement and well ‘worth readjustment of one’s pose for the dramatic effect. The speaker, who stopped now and then to look up from the script, was neatly but soverely taflored, her hear was brushed careful- ly and not unbecomingly from her high brow. There was not a curl nor 4 rip- ple of a marcel wave. Higher educa- tion was writ large. ‘A little woman on the back seat tn zommon clothes, seamed face and hard hands fidgeted and looked startled at such an intellectual outburst. “Excuse me, mum,” she ventured timidly, as she nudged her nelghbor, “is this Mme. Xo’s beauty lecture?” “It is not,” was the grim rejoinder. “It is the annual meeting of the official ‘Doard and chairmen of standing com- mittees of the Iowa Federation of Club “Women.” “Mercy!” ejactlated the woman out ‘of place. Then she “scooted.” Re ‘The Worm. “I insist upon an allowance of $500 m month—not a penny less!” he orled. “absurd! That's more than I pay my cook,” she retorted with curling Up. 7 “Then get yotr cook to dance ab fepdance at all manner of boresome vaffairs; to give you the face to do ‘what en unmarried woman never ares do; to be always at hand yet out ef the way; never to mind no matter how you choose to conduct yourself— fm short, to be a husband to you m the modern sense of the term!” he flared out defiantly. She perceived that the worm turned. ‘Hush!” she implored, weached for her checkbook —Puek, Took Precautions. “You ran into this man at 30 miles an hour and knocked him 40 feat,’ said the court. “That, of a little better, I suppose,” answered the chauffeur. “Why didn’t you slow down?” “Mere precaution, your honor. Onc I shut off speed and hit a man so gent ly that he was able to climb Into th machine and give we « doking.”” MAN HAS NO RIGHT TO SCOFF Not so Many Years Ago He Was Crazy Over Dress Himself. No, brother, men have not always been so indifferent to dress as thes are today. Their raiment, as com pared with the darnfoolishness o' woman, hasn't always been above ro proach. Consider, if you will, the days wher our respected forefathers would drav on their lavender-colored pants with @ shoe horn, using a little slippery powder, maybe, to help things along until people looked at their feet an¢ wondered if the pants hadn't beer sewed up after the feet got through Consider their tight boots—made tight that they caused the most ex cruclating agony. And remember tha the dandies of that day would care fully polish these burning, blasing pinching, agonising boots and ther step carefully with the toes In a mué puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. 0, yes, they did {t And o} course you know that a boot{ack wasn’t used merely because the boot. might soll the hands, but because no ody had tnvented a stump-puller {1 those days and applied it to the re moval of tight boots. And remember the bell-crowned hafs, and the dingbats and tmerack: they hung on their watch fobs. An¢ the fancy waistcoats and the frille¢ shirts. And going even further back, con sider what historical drawings give us ef information as to ancient dress— the knee breeches with gorgeous Tosettes—the brilliant buckles on the shoes—the cream-colored cloaks with mauve satin linings. And the white silk stockings that the excelsior would show through. Think of the Depowdered and becurled wigs wher you rave at rats om women's heads and repent of your scoffing words. Face powder? Perfumes and scents! Sure they had ‘em. Patches on thett complexion—yes, and rouge. They sure were pretty men those days, And going back to the Indian— ‘think of bis war paint, of his gaudy Dianket, his stained arrows, bis paint e¢ pony, his bearoiled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not sc pretty now. Only he really hadn't oughter scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese (hair switches and things. He really ‘hadn't oughter. ‘Ae a Buncher. ‘We 1s one of the most bothersome ‘Words in the language.

At one of the state dinners shortly after jward, the noble was seated halt « @ozen places from his ruler. Beside {him sat a woman of title, whom he had known from the time both could walk. The two conversed animatedly, Suddenly bis imperial majesty leaned forward and exclaimed in a harsh ‘voice: “Prince, it is not etiquette to fitrt at my table.” The man thus ‘addressed rose to his feet and bowed Yow.
