Washington, The fact that a colored man, Matt Henson, accompanied Commander Robert E. Perry practically to the north pole on his recent expedition has caused great deal of comment and discussion. This discussion leads me to remark that the people of America, I fear, do not realize to what an extent negroes have taken part in nearly every important event connected with the history and development of this country. Negroes accompanied the first Spanish explorers and discoverers of America across the Isthmus of Panama with Balbo, and assisted in constructing the first ship that was launched on the Pacific. They were with Cortez in Mexico. A Negro by the name of Little Stephen was the first discoverer of the country of Zumis what is now called New Mexico. Negroes were with De Sota in 1640, and the first stranger who settled in the state of Alabama was one of the negroes who accompanied De Soto on his march through that state. A negro accompanied William Clark, of Lewis and Clark's expedition, which, in 1804, explored the sources of the Missouri river and gained for the United States the vast and rich extent of land known as the Oregon country. Negroes were among the first adventurers to look for gold in California, and when the John C. Fremont, in 1848, made his desperate and disastrous attempt to find a pathway across the Rocky mountains, he was accompanied by a negro named Saunders. Negroes has taken part, so far as I can learn, in all the wars that have been fought on American soil. They fought at Bunker Hill, in the Revolutionary war. In the War of 1812 James Fortin a negro sailmaker of Philakelpha raised a regiment of negro soldiers to defend the city from the intended attack of the British soldiers. Negroes were in the famous battle on Lake Erie under Perry. They fought on both sids in the Cival war. In the Spanish American war negroes not only did their full part at El Caney and San Juan Hill, but after tese battles were over, they took up the more different and more dangerous labor of working in the hospitals in the malaria haunted swamp at Siboney. Value Of Reputation. Who shall estimate the cost of a priceless reputation—that impress which gives this human dross its currency without which we stand despised, debased, depreciated? Who shall repair the injured? Who can redeem it lost? Oh well and truly does the great philosopher of poetry esteem the world's wealth as trash" in the comparason. Without it, gold has no value; birth no distinction; station, nodignity; beauty, no charm; age, no reuerence and without it every grace deforms every dignity degrades, and all the arts, the decorations, and accomplishments of life stand like the becon-blaze upon a rock warning the world that its approach is dangerous; that its contract is death. The wretch without it is under eternal quarantine; no friend to greet; no home to harbor him. The voyage of his life becomes a joyless perils. The Colored Episcopal Church is now under the charge of Rev. Roberts, a colored divine of high standing, culture and education He comes to this city well recommended and with a church record of the very best. We welcome Rev. Roberts to our city. Deputy Ill.

LET US BE PERFECTLY SURE THAT OUR CONSCIENCE APPROVES, WE'LL NEVER GO WRONG. --- Dogmatism is one of the never failing accomplishments of ignorance. He is no man who has not opinions and convictions of his own; and he is not a wise man who thinks that everyone that sees things from a different angle is a fool. If one-hundred men stand in a line, elbows touching, and look on the same subject no two of them will see it alike, although the visual organs of each be good. This should teach a lesson of tolerance for the opinions of others, no matter how widely they may differ from our own. The feeling of indifference, or contempt, for the likes and dislikes of others is dangerous to its possessor. It is one thing to have faith in the righteousnes of our actions and beliefs, but quite another to be indifferent to the opinions of all who know us. I would lay it down as a maxim that only bad men do not place a value on the good opinion of others. They are the class from which our worst criminals are recruited. Whea they lose all desire for human approbation their case is hopeless. There are times and cvses in which one is justified in not desiring the approval of some people. In such cases the evidence is so full and conclusive that we have acted justly, add on the other hand quite as complete that our opponents are utterly in the wrong, that we may be excused for feeling indifferent to the strictures of our blased critics. The only sure and certain way to know when our actions are really good, is to consult our conscience. Conscience never lied nor prompted us to do wrong: but, on the other hand, it never failed to warn us against every moral transgression, if given a chance. Of course it is easy to justify ourselves in wrong doing by smothering the "still small voice," or persuade ourselves that our actions have the approval of our consciences, when in realty it was self-interest or some other impelling motive that usurped the throne of conscience. Let us be perfectly sure that our conscience approves, and we will never go wrong. The good man tresures a good name, because it is better, it is his by right, and because it's better than a big bank account, although not impaired by a partnership with the latter. He does not mistake flattery and mere empty compliment for a "good name:" such do not move him to feelings of vain self-importance. But he feels a proper pride in the honest approval of honest people I have known powerful leaders of men who were often oppressed with the fear that their actions might be misconstructed and their good name and actions come under suspicion. This was no proof of mental or moral weakness, but rather an evidence of their strong desire to do right and retain the good will and opinion of those they served. The good strong man's strength is increased by conviction that his approval of others. Negro Pottery Company, Zanesville, Ohio. N. S. Buhne, ptblisher of the Advocate, consumated a realty deal and purchased a site for a pottery near the water works pumping station on the River road. The property is located on the Pennsylvania, B. & O., and O. R. and W. railroads and is on the banks of the Muskingum river. The company will be known as the Betterware Pottery company, and shares will be sold to colored people to raise sufficient money to build the plant. A two story brick building stands on the property which will probably be utilized. --- They'll Treat You Right TRADE WITH OUR ADVERTISERS They'll Treat You Right IF IT EVER HAPAENED YOU WILL FIND IT IN THE SEARCHLIGHT. NO.10 The Little Brown House By JEROME SPRAGUE Jacquellin used to look out of her window at the house next door and envy the four girls who seemed to have such good times. "And they have the nicest brother," she would say to the motherly woman who was half maid and half housekeeper. "I think he is pretty selfish," Mary would answer grimly; "they're always fussing over him." "Oh, but he is always bringing them things. He comes home with little parcels, and they run out to meet him, and when the shade is up in the living room I can see them open them." "It seems to me you must be watching them pretty closely," Mary said. "Well, what else have I to do." Jacquellin demanded, "in this big house, with my throat bad all the time, and nobody to come to see me?" "It is a pity your uncle ever moved here," said Mary. "If you had stayed in the house where you'd always lived you'd have had friends enough." Jacquelin's lips quivered. "I was glad to come away," she told the old woman. "Everything in the old home seemed to speak of mother, and now that I haven't her any more I'd rather be away from the familiar surroundings." Then she broke down and cried, and Mary comforted her. "What you need is company," was the old woman's comment. "You just sit here and mope and mope, and it is bad for you to do so." "Do you know what I'd like to do?" Jacquelin said. "I'd like to give a party and invite those girls next door and the boy, too." Mary looked at her severely. "That might do if you were eight years old instead of eighteen, but young ladies don't give parties and invite people they've never met." "I don't care," Jacquellin said. "Those girls next door are as poor as they can be, and except for their brother, they never have any fun. They work all day." "Well, you might ask one of them over to sit with you," Mary capitulated. "I don't suppose it would hurt, though I don't know what your uncle would say about it." "I don't care what he would say," Jacquellin declared. "I'm young, and I can't be shut up like a prisoner in a castle." "Of course not," was Mary's soothing reply. "You just write a little note, and I'll take it over to one of those girls." But Jacquelin was not easily swayed from her plans. "I'm going to have all of them over," she said, "to lunch tomorrow." It was hopeless for Mary to argue, so the note went forth and created a great sensation in the little brown house next door. "Will you listen to this?" said Ruth, the eldest girl, who had opened it. She read aloud the following: "I have so often watched you from my window. I am very lonely and not very well, and I wish you could come to lunch with me tomorrow. Can't you? Please say 'yes' and make the girl next door very happy." "There, I told you she wasn't proud." "Do you think we ought to go?" Ruth asked anxiously. "Of course," said Betty promptly. Of course, said Betty promptly. But Grace and Eveline were not sure. "It would be lovely," they said. "But what would brother think." "Brother," Betty groaned. "Oh, Bob is such a stickler for proprieties." "Bob is a dear," Betty agreed; "but he'd like to keep us in cotton wool. He is so afraid we might make unpleasant intimacies that he keeps us shut up like a lot of children, and I want a good time." "Why Betty," they exclaimed. "He is a man and he doesn't understand that we want to get out and see something of the world, and I'm going over to the big house for lunch tomorrow whether the rest of you go or not." "Let us wait," they pleaded, "until Bob comes home. We can send our answer at five o'clock." "Well, of all things," said Bob when he had read the note. "The colossal condescension of it. She has lived next door to you for six months and hasn't noticed you, and now she wants you to come when she beckons. I guess not." Betty's face flamed. "I don't see why," she said. "It is our one chance for a good time, Bob Carson." But Bob was obdurate. "I should think you'd have some pride in the matter, Betty," he said. Betty went away to weep by herself, but the three other girls accepted the verdict meekly. The next morning Bob started forth for the office in a glow of self-satisfaction. Betty had returned to her attitude of adoration, and he felt a little glow of triumph in his influence over his feminine brood. As he passed the gate of the big house, he looked up at the window and saw between the curtains a little white face handed with dark hair. It was a pathetic little face, and it haunted him all the way to the office. Suddenly it came to him that he had been selfish. Perhaps she wasn't as purseproud and haughty as his imagination had painted her. He took up the telephone and called up his sisters. "Look here," he asked, "do you suppose that it's too late for you to accept that lunch invitation? I've had reason to change my mind about our neighbor." Betty, on the other end of the wire, responded joyfully "Maybe if we called her up we could fix things." So artfully did Betty make her apologies for the refusal of the night before that Jacqueline forgave her at once. "Please come over now," she begged. "Of course I want you." Arrayed in their best the four sisters sailed forth to be struck with awe at the magnificence of the big house. There were American Beauties on the table and Jacquelin, in dull red crepe, was like a rose herself, for excitement brought the color to her cheeks. "It was lovely of you to come," she said. "It was lovely of you to have us," Betty enthused. After lunch Jacquellin entertained them in her music room, where a harp and a piano were the slaves of her skilled hands. "How beautifully you play," the girls exclaimed. "How Bob would love to hear you; he loves music." "Is Bob your brother?" Jacquellin asked, timidly. "Yes," they chorused. "Perhaps," Jacquelin suggested timidly, "he would come over with you some evening." "Perhaps," said Betty doubtfully. When at last it was time for them to go, Jacquelin begged them to come again. "Come and bring your brother some evening, and we'll have music." They repeated the invitation to Bob that night. "She's very sweet," Betty said. "But she's rich," was Bob's ultimatum. "and I'm poor. It is all right for you girls, but she doesn't want me hanging around." So they made his excuses, and after that the girls went back and forth bringing into Jacquelin's life much that was joyous and helpful; and one night they invited her over to the little brown house. "I've always wanted to come," she said as she sat in front of the big stove in the living room and helped them pop corn and pull taffy. "You seemed to have such good times, and I was so lonely." From a corner of the room Bob watched her. He had left almost resentful at the intrusion of this wealthy woman into their poverty-strenken circle. Yet now his heart was melted in him as he saw her wistful face and appealing manner. Gradually he began to talk to her, and then it seemed as there was no one else in the room. He monopolized her until Betty grew jealous. "Gracious," she said that night, after their guest had left, "I thought you didn't like her, Bob!" "I think she is lovely," said Bob, with a queer catch in his voice. Bob had fallen in love with her hopelessly, but violently. And Jacquelin? No one knew what went on in her little wise head. But one day, after a month in which Bob had dogged her footsteps and watched her with hopeless eyes, she said to him abruptly: "You know I'm not rich." He had been listening to her playing, and as he leaned on the piano he looked at her through the rose-red light of the candles. "What?" he stammered. Her fingers played a rippling accompaniment. "I'm not rich," she repeated. The four girls were not there. Bob had stolen away from them to have one evening alone with the lady of his heart. He had told himself it must be his last evening. He, a poor man, had no right to linger near her. And now she had made this astounding statement. "I know," she went on, "that you have thought me a rich woman. But the money is all my uncle's and he cannot leave it to me, for it comes from another side of the family. I am here simply to be taken care of while he lives, and he is an old man; when he dies I shall be alone." "And you have told me this," Bob said in a trembling voice. "Why have you told me this?" Her fingers dropped from the keys, and she locked up at him. "You know why," she said. The next morning Bob made a wonderful announcement to his sisters. "I am going to marry Jacquelin," he said. They stared at him. "But she is rich," Betty exclaimed. "How did you dare ask her, Bob?" He told them something of what she had said to him. "She isn't rich, and she's lonely, and as soon as she is better and can get the things made that woman seem to think they must have, she is going to marry me, girls, and we'll live happy ever after in the 'Little Brown House.'

For those of us who live far from the natural source of crabs, we find the canned variety most satisfactory. After visiting one of the canning factories all scruples as to their cleanly preparation are set at rest. They are brought alive to the cannery, and unless they are in prime condition, that is very much alive, they are rejected. They are washed immediately and steamed. Then they are taken to the picking rooms where women in white take out the meat with metal picks. They are then canned, sealed and packed without a touch of the hand to the food. The amount of canned crabs that are crowded into a small can is astonishing. Crabs in Peppers.—Add to a can of crab meat mayonnaise dressing and finely shredded cabbage; garnish with strips of red pepper and serve it in green pepper cups. Crab Meat Terrapin Style.—Cook two tablespoonfuls of butter with half a small onion sliced. When the onion is yellow remove it, and add a cup of crab meat and two tablespoonfuls of orange juice. Cook three minutes, add a third of a cup of heavy cream and the yolks of two eggs. Season with salt and cayenne. Crabs With Cheese.—Add to a cup of rich cream sauce one can of crab meat. Put it in a buttered baking dish with a layer of grated cheese, a layer of breadcrumbs and another layer of cheese. Bake in a moderate oven. Crabs With Mushrooms.—Mushrooms are now in season, and they, with crab meat, make a royal entree for a luncheon or a chafing dish supper. Make a rich white sauce and add a can of crab meat and a pint of fresh mushrooms shredded and sauted in a tablespoonful of butter before adding to the crab meat. Season with mushroom catsup and serve in ramekins. MAKE no complaint what'er thy pain; Others have borne far worse than thine. Brave struggles only victory gain, And know the rest which is divine. In heaven and on earth is peace; In thine heart, too, let trouble cease. WHEN ONE IS ENTERTAINING. A daftny, inexpensive company salad is made by cutting cold boiled potatoes with a French scoop into balls, marinate with olive oil and vinegar, salt and pepper for an hour; then heap on head lettuce; sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve it with a boiled dressing or a mayonnaise. Lettuce Salad With Cheese Balls.—Here is a salad which is so unusual that it will be welcome to the entertainer. Take a cream cheese and work into it sufficient cream to make it easy to mold into balls. Divide into four portions; color one green with chopped chives or parsley, another may be colored red by using the sweet red pepper pounded, a third may be colored yellow with the yolks of hard-cooked eggs, and a fourth may be made brown by adding chopped nuts. Mold into small balls and arrange in lettuce leaves. Two or more colors may be served together. Strawberry Sponge.—Soak a box of gelatine in three tablespoonfuls of water until soft. Add an equal amount of hot water, is added to a cup of sugar and cooked until the sugar is dissolved, when the gelatine is added, the mixture is strained and a tablespoonful of lemonjuice and a cupful of strawberry juice is added. As it thickens the whites of three eggs are beaten until stiff and one and a half cupfuls of thick cream are added. Mix lightly, not to lose the lightness of the eggs and cream. Turn into a mold, decorated with whole strawberries, and set away to chill. GREAT part of the happiness GREAT part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is itself a way. Lonelyflower COLD DESSERTS. Anything that is called cold sounds refreshing during the hot summer days. The following are inexpensive and easily made, two qualifications in these days of high prices and scarcity of help. Coffee Custard.-Scald two cupfuls of milk with two tablespoonfuls of ground coffee, or use cold coffee left from breakfast. Strain it and add three eggs beaten slightly, a quarter of a cup of sugar, two cups of milk, a pinch of salt and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Strain into individual molds that have been rinsed with cold water, and set in a pan of hot water in the oven to bake. Test them with a knife. When it comes out clean the custard is done. Set away to chill. Serve cold. Snow Balls.—Slift together several times a half cup of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and an eighth of a teaspoonful of salt. Beat the yolks of two eggs, add a half cup of powdered sugar, one and a half tablespoonfuls of water. Add to the flour, and when well mixed cut and fold in the whites, beaten stiff. Steam in buttered cups for twenty minutes. Roll in powdered sugar. Serve with fruit sauce or whipped cream. Rebecca Pudding—Mix half a cup of cornstarch, a fourth of a cup of sugar, a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and a half cup of cold milk. Add to three and a half cupfuls of scalding milk and cook 'fifteen minutes. Add flavoring and the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Mold and chill. Serve with a sauce made of the three yolks, a cup of powdered sugar and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Orange sauce is very nice served with this pudding. Use the whites of three eggs, the juice and rind of two oranges, the juice of a lemon and a cup of sugar. If blood oranges are obtainable, the sauce is unusually pretty.

IT is not so much what a man has that makes him happy, as it is what he does not want." You must remember it isn't only laying hold of a rope—you must go on pulling. -George Elliott. WAYS OF SERVING VEGETABLES. The following are several German methods of serving the common vegetables, which are both simple and appetizing: Sour Pickled Beans.—Put two tablespoonfuls of nice sweet lard into a saucepan, strin into it a small onion, cut fine, and a large tablespoonful of flour; let it brown and add enough water to make a thickened gravy. Take the pickled beans, well drained, cut them once and add to the brown gravy or sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and if not sour enough add a little of the pickle vinegar. Cook fifteen minutes. String beans are very nice cooked for a long while with a small piece of salt pork. Salt and pepper are added just before serving, and a tablespoonful of vinegar. Seasoned Beets—Slice six cold boiled beets, add one cup of vinegar, one cup of water, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one half bay leaf, four cloves, four allspice, an onion chopped and one tablespoonful of sugar. Let simmer and add a teaspoonful of flour to thicken. Try serving lima beans after they have been cooked until tender, and then fried a golden brown in butter. Hot Slaw—Cut fine two or three apples and a firm head of cabbage; cook a small onion in a tablespoonful of butter, but do not brown. Add the cabbage and apple and salt to taste. About twenty minute before serving, add one cup of vinegar, a little sugar, sprinkle with white pepper and simmer without a cover. Chopped green peppers cooked in the gravy after beefsteak has been pan broiled, is a change to serve with the beefsteak. Cook carrots until tender, then mash and season with butter, pepper and salt. Escalloped Parsnips.—Mash a pint of boiled parsnips, season with butter, pepper, salt and two tablespoonfuls of milk. Mix the ingredients and turn into a buttered dish to bake. Junket With Purée of Bananas.—Pare and slice two bananas, put through a ricer, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, two of sugar and one of orange juice. Dissolve a teaspoonful of gelatin in a tablespoonful of cold water; stir until dissolved, and pour the mixture into sherbet cups. When the fruit has hardened fill the cups with junket and set away to harden. Serve with whipped cream. Nellie Marwell. The Real Mystery. A Fox was once seen to take a bunch of moss in his mouth and swim out into the river, where, after sinking himself to the very point of his nose in the water, he let go of the moss and came ashore. "No doubt," remarked a well-read bystander, "you did that to rid yourself of fleas, which were driven by the water to seek refuge in the moss." The Fox glanced furtively and slinkingly about and around. "Hist!" he whispered, with a sly wink. "I did it to make some people think that was what I did it for!"

GOVERNMENT PLANS WIRELESS GOVERNMENT PLANS WIRELESS TO BUILD THREE TOWERS AT ARLINGTON, MD. Big Wireless Plant for Government Will Have Range of 2,000 or 3,000 Miles. Washington, D. C.—The construction of three wireless towers to be erected on the government reservation at Arlington by the navy department will mark a new era in electricity. These towers will be arranged in the form of an isosceles triangle, the central one being at the apex and standing 600 feet over all. The other two towers will be each 450 feet in height and self supporting, that is, there will be no guy ropes of any kind reaching from one tower to another. Some idea of the massiveness of the frame work in the towers may be gathered from the fact that 900 tons of steel will be used in the construction. Notwithstanding this fact, they will not be bulky, but will present the pleasing appearance of a delicate cobweb tracery against the skyline. The bureau of steam engineering which has charge of the wireless work believes the new plant will send messages from 2,000 to 3,000 miles. This will enable the navy department to keep in close touch with vessels of war on the Atlantic ocean from Guantanamo, Cuba, to a point 3,000 miles north of Arlington. Creditors Want E. G. Lewis' Property. St. Louis, Missouri.—A receiver for all of the properties of E. G.

The properties are valued it is said between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. Telegraph Company Starts Word War. New York, N. Y.—The Postal Telegraph company, through its periodical bearing the company's name, boldly challenged its rival the Western Union, to prove that since the latter concern merged with the American Telegraph and Telephone company it is not subject to the penalties of the Sherman anti-trust law as construed by the supreme court in the Standard Oil decision. Lorimer Gets Delay Washington, D. C.—The hearing of testimony in the Lorimer case will begin Thursday, June 22. The first witnesses had been asked to appear next Monday, but Mr. Lorimer went before the committee and asked for a postponement because former Judge Elbrue Haneey, his consul, cannot be present at that time. Raised License—Town is "Dry." Rhineland, Missouri. — Rhineland has joined the "dry" column as the result of a raise in the saloon license from $150 to $500 a year.

THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE Chicago Record Herald MANY KILLED IN EASTERN STORM Five Deaths and $1,000,000 Property Loss in New York—New Jersey Silk Mills Unroofed. New York, N. Y.—Five dead, five persons missing and a property loss of nearly $1,000,000 is the result of a two days' storm which has raged intermittently in New York and the East. The lightning played a strange prank at Clason Point on the sound, striking a revolving Ferris wheel. The big wheel, which carried several passengers, was thrown from its axis and stuck fast. The lightning blinded the passengers and there was a panic. Several women attempted to leap from the wheel, but were restrained. The passengers were taken down on ladders rigged together. Several silk mills in Paterson, N. J., were unroofed. Streets were flooded in several New Jersey towns, trees uprooted and cellars filled with water, TROUBLE FOR CHEROKEE COUNTY Volunteer Association Cannot Make Arrests—Must Return Liquor to Owner. Pittsburg, Kansas.—Holding that only residents of Cherokee county are eligible to serve as deputy sheriffs, Judge Charles Capp in the district court put a stop to the operations of the Crawford and Cherokee Volunteer association. John S. Dawson, state's attorney, and A. L. Clotfelter of Kansas City, Kan., a special assistant, are in Columbus endeavoring to reach an agreement with Judge Sapp. Last week Judge Sapp held that liquor valued at $12,000, seized in wholesale houses under instructions from the attorney general, had been wrongfully confiscated and ordered it restored to its owners intact.

HINES AND TILDEN SUBPOENAED SECRECY IN ACTION OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE. To be Brought From Chicago to Testify in Lorimer Case—Many Other Prominent Men to be Called. Washington, D. C.—Subpoenas for a number of widely known men to testify here in the new Lorimer investigation have been issued and a special officer from the office of the senate sergeant-at-arms is now on his way to Chicago to serve them. Secrecy is attached to the action by the special committee of eight senators having the investigation in charge. It is understood, however, that among the men to be summoned are Lee O'Neill Browne, Democratic leader in the Illinois house; Edward Hines, president of the Edward Hines Lumber company of Chicago; Edward Tilden, whose name was connected with $100,000 fund alleged to have been collected for use in electing Senator Lorimer, and Clarence S. Funk, an officer of the International Harvester company, whose disclosure of an attempt to have his corporation subscribe to the alleged fund was a feature in the investigation by the Illinois legislature. EX-EDITOR PLANS BAND TOUR E. W. Howe of Atchison Will Provide Free Band Concerts for Small Towns During 1912. Atchison, Kan.—E. W. Howe, retired editor and owner of the Atchison Globe, announces that beginning in June, 1912, he will go on the road every summer with a brass band of forty pieces. He will give two or three concerts daily in a tent. The concerts will be free, and he will visit the small towns in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana. For years brass bands have been a hobby of the Atchison editor. Howe will accompany the band himself. Joplin Entertains Editors. Joplin Entertains Editors.

To Irrigate in Kansas. Hutchinson, Kansas.—For the purpose of irrigating a valley between the sand hills and the Arkansas river, two miles west of Hartland, Kearney county, 200 8-inch wells are to be sunk, about 10 feet apart. This nov.1 irrigation plant is being installed by J. P. Donahoo, who recently went to Kearney county from Hutchinson to install the system. He* has great faith in the ultimate success of the plan. Through Passenger Rates Increased. Washington.—Permission has been granted by the interstate commerce commission to the Live Oak, Perry & Gulf, Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, International & Great Northern and Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railroads to effect a higher charge for through passenger hauls than the aggregate of fares to intermediate points.

RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest author 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 biggest thing in any man's life is his home. It is the inspiration and the center of all his ambition, of all his hopes for success. Without a home, a man is a ship at sea without a rudder. A home gives a man a reason for living. Every man craves it, every man needs it. And in these days it is possible for anyone who is paying rent right along to save for himself the landlord's profit, and own his own home. There are many landlords who are not only making a living, but growing wealthy, by borrowing money, building houses with it, and renting them to people who, if they realized it, could, with little effort, just as well build or buy homes for themselves. One hundred dollars saved up and paid down will be accepted as first payment for a moderate-cost home in almost any town or city in the United States, and will start you on the road to ownership. The rest always comes easier, for there is now a constant incentive to added effort and thrift. Of course, there should be reason in this, as in other things. One should not buy too expensive a place, any more than he should attempt to "show off" by buying too elaborate and expensive clothing. The more expensive home will come later if you first "make good" by adjusting your demands to your abilities, and exercising THE HOME OF THE MAYOR patience. In the meantime, remember you are saving the landlord's profit. You are also reaping the "unearned increment" of increased valuation on your property, and it is a fact that in any live, growing city or town the appreciation in value of property will more than offset depreciation and cost of upkeep on the improvements thereon. Then, again, there is the great satisfaction and pride of being under your own roof, which cannot be sold over your head, and the delight of being able to "potter around" and fix things up according to your own fancy, knowing all the while that everything added in the way of convenience or improvement is so much added in dollars and cents to the value of your property. That this is no dream is strikingly demonstrated by the prevailing popu- PORCH KITCHEN 9'0"X12'0" BATH 9'0"X12'0" BED RM 11'3"X12'0" CONTROL 6'0"X4'0" CL CL CL DINING ROOM 18'0"X13'0" BED RM 11'3"X11'0" BED RM 11'3"X11'0" LIVING ROOM 15'0"X15'0" VEST CL PORCH 100'X10'0" Floor Plan. larity of the cozy cottage type of dwelling, commonly designated as the "bungalow"—a word of East Indian origin—and the extent to which buildings in this class are being multiplied all over the country. This type of house—built either wholly one-story or with a few rooms directly under the roof in what would otherwise be the attic—is such as to lend itself to a great variety of treatment and arrangement, these features, however, being governed altogether by the individual tastes and requirements of the prospective occupants. A very attractive, cozy and well-arranged six room cottage home of the --- type referred to is illustrated in the half tone perspective view herewith and the accompanying floor plan. The width of the house is 31 feet; its length 47 feet. The basement extends under the entire house, and there is an attic. The rooms are all well lighted, the three bedrooms, each of which has a capacious closet of its own, are arranged along one side of the house, the other side being devoted to the waking activities of domestic life. The front porch is sufficiently large to provide a shaded outdoor gathering place for the family in fine weather. The front door opens into a vestibule, from which, through a door at the left, we enter the cheery living room with its large bay window at the front end. Four small casement windows also admit light over the library bookcase or other furnishings that may be ranged along the side of the room. The living room opens directly into the dining room through an opening flanked by two columns. At one end of the dining room another bay window admits ample sunshine and enlarges the view to be had from the inside; at the other end, doors open into the front and middle bedrooms. Connection between dining room and kitchen is through the pantry, which is lighted by a window, and provided with a shelved cupboard or buffet for china, glassware, etc. A small closed hallway leads directly from the dining room to the bath room on the middle line of the house, at the rear. This hallway has a linen closet, and opens on the right into the rear bedroom, and on the left into the kitchen. A rear porch of the kitchen gives access to and from the back yard. The cost of building such a house as this would range in different localities from $2,300 to $2,500. TREASURES OF LOST DUNWICH Sea, Gives Up Relics of Ancient English City Swallowed Up by Ocean. The recent extraordinary high tide wrought strange havoc on the Suffolk (England) coast. At Thorpness, Aldeburgh, a million tons of sand were washed away, and bungalows on the coast which were a hundred yards away from the sea, were within a few feet of highwater mark. But the most curious act was that hundreds of coins of gold, silver and bronze, and dating back in many cases to early Saxon time, were brought to light; also antique bronze rings and cramments and an old bag clasp of bronze, with a silver inscription believed to be of the age of King John. This coast is of the greatest antiquarian interest. Standing on it, according to local legend, the wayfarer at twilight can hear the bells of the submerged churches of Dunwich in the sea. Of this place, once a populous seaport, little or nothing now remains. Here centuries ago were stationed Roman troops; here was a Saxon city of great importance, Dummoceastre, and here about 630 A. D. Sigeberht, king of East Anglia, built himself a palace and erected a cathedral, which was consecrated by Archbishop Honorius. There were 15 bishops of Dunwich before the sea disappeared. At one time the city boasted six churches, in addition to convents, hospitals and other public buildings. Under Henry II. its ships voyaged as far as Iceland. In the reign of Edward III. the old port was swept away, with 400 houses. One by one five of its churches were undermined by the waves, and today only one remains, a melancholy ruin, with a fragment of a monastery and a scanty remains of a leper hospital. Ships, harbor, city, all have gone; even the very ruins have perished with the above exceptions. But on the shore still grows the "dunwell rose," which by tradition was first brought to East Anglia by the monks 1,400 years ago. Easily Caught. "Tall women nearly always marry short men." "These duck-legged men can't run fast."—Houston Post. FOR THE BREAKFAST TABLE Almond Bread Will Be Fourd an Excellent Substitute for Time-Honored Coffee Cake. Two and a half cups of flour, one and a half cups of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a quarter teaspoonful of salt and six well-beaten eggs should be mixed into a soft dough. Add then a quarter of a pound of sweet almonds, blanched and washed, but not cut. Lastly, work in one and one-quarter glassfuls of the best salad oil. Knead the dough faithfully. Do not have it too stiff. Flour the kneading board well. Cut the dough into pieces about as large as a medium-sized potato, and roll these on the board into lengths. These should extend from one side of the baking pan to the other. Flour—not grease—the pan. Bake in a briquette to a light brown. As soon as the pan is removed from the oven, cut the strips into two or into four inch pieces. If this is not done at once while the almonds are soft, you cannot cut the rolls neatly. The recipe allows for five dozen pieces of almond bread. You may make half the quantity if you like. The oil used as shortening is not tasted at all in the bread. You may keep it a long time without finding it soggy or anything but crisp and good. AN AUTOMATIC COFFEE POT Housewife Need Only Provide Material, Light the Lamp, and Her Work Is Done. This coffee pot, the invention of a Parisian, is absolutely automatic. The ground coffee is placed in the pot with the required amount of water and the wick of the alcohol lamp is lighted. When the coffee is sufficiently boiled it pours itself into the cups. The coffee is placed in a perforated box in the lid of the pot. A tube runs from the coffee box to the bottom of the pot, and the water, on boiling, mounts this tube and circulates through the coffee. The liquid then passes into another tube which carries it to the cups. The alcohol lamp is automatically extinguished the moment the coffee is sufficiently boiled.—Popular Mechanics. Boiling Time. Potatoes, 30 minutes, unless small, when rather less; cabbage and cauliflower, 25 minutes; peas and asparagus, 20 40 25 minutes; carrots and turnips, 45 minutes when young, 1 hour in winter; on ons, medium size, one hour; beets, 1 hour in summer, 1 hour and 30 minutes or 2 hours (if large) in winter; French beans, 11 slit or sliced slantwise and thin, 25 minutes, if only snapped across, 40 minutes; broad beans, if very young, 30 minutes, old, 40 to 45 minutes. All vegetables should put in fast-boiling water and quickly brought to the boiling point again, not left to steep in hot water before boiling, which toughens them and destroys color and flavor. This time-table will be found useful if copied and fastened on the kitchen wall—New York Press. Chicken Mousse With Peas. Chop enough cooked chicken meat, free from skin and bone, to make two cupfuls and pound to a paste; add one and one-half cupfuls of rich cream sauce and press all through a sieve. Season with salt, pepper and one tablespoonful of lemon juice; then add the beaten yolks of four eggs and blend, beating thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Fold in the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff and dry, and turn the mixture into a buttered mold; place on several thicknesses of paper, surround with hot water, cover with buttered paper and bake until firm in center. Remove from mold to a hot serving dish and pour hot buttered peas around it. Serve with a rich cream sauce—Harper's Bazar. French Strawberry Pudding. Dip enough macaroons in wine to line a buttered pudding dish; cover with sweetened ripe strawberries. Beat the yolks of four eggs with three tablespoonfuls of sugar and one teaspoonful of strawberry extract; pour over the strawberries; put in a moderate oven to bake. Beat the whites of eggs to a stiff froth with two tablespoonfuls of sugar; put on the top of the pudding and let brown in the oven. Serve cold. Pretty Vegetable Salad In little cups of lettuce prepared in individual portions, cut shaved cabbage that has been previously thrown into iced water to render it crisp; slice into this thin slices of a deep red beet; sprinkle with celery seed and poor mayonnaise over; garnish with slices of tomato spread with dressing also and sprinkled with the shredded cabbage. Sweet Muffins. One-half cup of sugar, 1 dessert-spoon of butter, 2 eggs. Break eggs, sugar and butter into a dish and beat with sugar and butter 1 cup flour, 1 cup of R. I. white meal, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, good pinch of salt, milk enough to make thick batter. Drop into gem pans and bake in quick oven.

Yards and Office 3rd and Main Streets. Bernard Shaw's latest contribution to the world's fund of wisdom is the suggestion that fiction be sold, or bought by weight. This certainly is Mr. Shaw's profoundest utterance. It marks the acme of his greatness as a sage. By all means buy it by weight, then there can be very little ground for complaint at the high price of novels. Moreover, it will be in direct line with this popular movement to buy groceries by weight, as a means of solving the high-cost-of-living problem and getting one's money's worth. Perhaps, also, this Shaw system will have the desired effect of limiting the output, of bringing the supply somewhere near the demand. The present method of buying it by the yard seems utterly to have failed in this achievement. That means of measurement has not even proved wholly successful with reference to Dr. Ellot's five-foot book shelf, which, of course, no one but Shaw ever would have thought of buying by the pound. ART CRITICISM IN KANSAS Harvey Parsons Found Much Fault With His Friend's Picture of the Girl and the Cow. Albert T. Reid and Harvey Parsons, two well known Kansas artists, are very good friends. Reid was one of Parsons' teachers. Recently Reid drew a handsome water-color picture depicting a very pretty girl dressed in a milkmaid's costume. She had one arm thrown lovingly about the neck of a big, fine Holstein cow—the kind they raise in Kansas. In the other hand she carried a milking stool. The girl and the cow were wandering through a field of daisies. It is a good piece of work and was accepted readily and gladly by the publishers who ordered it. Just about the time Reid had it finished Parsons wandered into his studio. "What are you working on?" asked Parsons. Reid pointed to an easel on which stood the picture of the girl and the cow. Parsons looked it over for some time and, blowing out a big wreath of pipe smoke, asked: "What is the girl going to do?" "Going to do?" ejaculated Reid. "Why, milk the cow, of course." "What is she doing with her arm around the cow's neck?" asked Parsons. "Leading the animal to the lot," replied Reid, mixing paint. "Well, where is the milk pail?" demanded Parsons. "She hasn't any milk pall," replied Reid. "H'm," replied Parsons. "Then maybe she isn't going to milk the cow?" "Well, maybe she isn't," asserted Reid. "Well, if she isn't," persisted Parsons, blowing another puff of smoke, "what is the girl going to do with that milking stool?" "Oh," snorted Reid, "she is going to hit the darned cow over the head with it!"—Kansas City Journal. BELIEVING THE WORST OF IT Sam Bernard's Story of His Intoxicated Friend Illustrates a Common Failing of Humanity. If Sam Bernard is to be believed, one of the most common sins to which a frail humanity is prone is that of believing the worst in any given case. "There my friend Jones," said Bernard. "I met Jones wobbling up Broadway the other night. Just before I got to him Jones sought the comparative shelter of a lamppost. He giggled at me weakly when I touched him on the shoulder. "Come on, Jonesie," said I. "I'll take you to the hotel and put you to bed." "Jonesie looked at me for a moment and then he spoke. 'How far'sh hotel from here?' he asked. "About five minutes' walk.' About five minutes ago, "Huh," said Jonesie, nodding his head; "Fl minutes' walk, huh? Fr you or fr me?" "Now, I know what your conclusion is. You think that Jones was drunk, but how do you know he didn't have a wooden leg? \One should always practise the virtue of charity. You remember the time that Admiral Bob Evans, walking down Broadway, came to one of his quartermasters. The sailor straightened up and saluted. Admiral Evans looked down and there lay another quartermaster, asleep in the gutter. "Drunk, eh?" said Evans. "Oh, no, shir," said the erect quar- termaster, deprecatingly. "Ow, I wouldn't call him drunk, sir. I just seen him move his fingers a little."— Clnchnati Times-Star. Strength In Advancing Age. To Hugo the years that bend and weaken and wrinkle the genius of the master seem but to bring fresh strength and energy and beauty. He ages like the lions. His brow, seamed with august furrows, rises under a mane larger, thicker, more bristling and more disheveled than ever before. His yellow eyes are like suns within caverns; when he roars the other animals are silent. Or, changing the comparison, one might liken him to an oak that dominates the forest; its enormous wrinkled trunk bursting into leaf, its branches might as trees. Its deep-reaching roots drink of the sap of the heart of the earth, its head almost touches heaven. In its vast foliage the stars shine at night, the birds sing at dawn. It braves the sun, the tempest, the wind, the thunder and the rain. The very scars of the thunderbolt have added to its beauty something formidable and superb.-Gautier's "Portrait of Victor Hugo."

Hill, at one of the Conservation congress banquets in St. Paul, told a railway story. "When sleeping cars first came in," he said, "the bedclothes in the berths were very scanty. On one of these early cars one night after everybody had turned in and the lights were low a loud voice called from an upper berth: "Porter, got a corkscrew? "The porter came hurrying down the aisle. "Boss,' he said, in a scandalized tone, 'we don't allow no drinkin' in the berths. It's against the rules.' "Oh, it ain't that, porter," the voice answered. "I just want to dig out a pillow that's sort of worked its way into my ear." WAS NOT A BEAUTY LECTURE Timid Little Woman Found Herself Seeking Dress Hints at Federation of Club Women. "The conservation of the natural resources of this country is one of the paramount issues before the American people today and—" The speaker adjusted her nose glasses, raised her eyes confidently from her manuscript to meet the expressions of approval from the thirty or 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 severely tailored, her hear was brushed carefully and not unbecomingly from her high brow. There was not a curl non a ripple of a marcel wave. Higher education was wrist large. A little woman on the back seat in common 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 neighbor, "is this Mme. Xo's beauty lecture?" "It is not," was the grim rejoinder. "It is the annual meeting of the official board and chairmen of standing committees of the Iowa Federation of Club Women." "Mercy!" ejaculated the woman out of place. Then she "scouted."

Some of triumphs have taken the form of new inventions for doing things that were virtually impossible of accomplishment heretofore and others, none the less valuable, have been in the line of discov- eries of ways and means for doing things that have been done heretofore, but of doing them more easily, more quickly, more economically or more effectively than has heretofore been deemed possible. The national government has been taking the lead in scientific, mechanical and engineering development to a constantly increasing extent in late years. For, of course, the reader will understand that in speaking of Uncle Sam's current triumphs in the field of invention and experiment, reference is made not to the federal government as represented by its own experts and employees. Now the national government has always been a contributor to the cause of science and invention, there being dual reasons for its activity in such direction. On the one hand the central government, with paternal instinct, has been bound to contribute in every way to the well-being of the whole people and as is well known such benefit is more often than not conferred through the instrumentality of scientific discoveries and inventions. Obviously then it is up to Uncle Sam to foster Yankee ingenuity by every possible means. Yet the second incentive to federal activity in this broad field has been even more of a spur than the first. It arises from the fact that the national government is, to an extent THE NEW YORKER ANOTHER NEW STYLE MAIL CONVEYOR ANOTHER NEW STYLE MAIL CONVEYOR appreciated by comparatively few of our citizens, an operator of scientific laboratories, a manufacturer and a business corporation. Now with Uncle Sam in the actual conduct of arts and industries on a greater scale, in some instances, than they are being carried on by any private corporation, it has become imperative from the hard, practical business standpoint that the government shall have the benefit of the highest possible attainments in time and labor-saving equipment. In the effort to keep abreast of or a little ahead of the world's march of progress, the federal establishment has continually carried on tests and experiment with a view to disclosing new capabilities in instruments and apparatus of one kind or another that rank as commercial products and as such may be bought in the open market. But a large share of what has been accomplished these past few years has been due to new inventions evolved by government officials. And it is pleasing to note that there is an increasing disposition on part of the men on Uncle Sam's payroll to regard as federal property the inventions from which they might otherwise reap a fortune. There have, from time to time, been charges and rumors putting in question the ethics and honesty of men who derived private wealth from inventions alleged to have been worked out in government time and with the aid of facilities offered by a governmental position. Happily, however, such cases appear to be growing more rare and to counterbalance the isolated instances we have examples such as recently afforded by Major Squier, assistant chief signal officer of the United States army, when he dedicated to the free use of the American people the patents covering his new system of multitlex telephony. Some of the most spectacular of Uncle Sam's current scientific triumphs are being worked out by the aid of the most powerful magnet in the world, which has recently been installed at a cost of $1,200 at the United States bureau of standards. This magnet is in effect an enlarged edition of the familiar toy from which small boys derive so much enjoyment and it may be whispered that the government scientists are getting a proportionate amount of excitement from the almost miraculous powers of this largest of all magnets. Primarily the new magnet is employed by the government experts for optical work of the most highly technical character—a pushing back of the bounds of the unknown in this scientific field— U UNCLE SAM'S LATEST SCIENTIFIC TRIUMPHS THE MACHINE NEWLY INVENTED VACUUM CAUGE AT THE U.S. BUREAU OF STANDARDS but this does not prevent the magnet from doing stunts of great popular interest now and then. When the magnet is charged with its full electric current of 125 amperes a piece of meta weighing hundreds of pounds might be suspended at the pole pieces and the leakage, that is the "stray magnetic field" way out at the ends of the magnet is sufficient to support in all sorts of positions wrenches and bars of iron weighing as much as five or six pounds apiece, whereas wires nails in series of half a A man operating a machine. A visible hand and almost more quickly than the eye can follow the operation, these nails are one and all drawn to the highly magnetized surface. This new magnet, a world's record breaker in size as well as in power, was constructed specially for the United States government by a firm of instrument makers in Switzerland. The circumstances connected with the designing of the magnet illustrate how great minds may run in the same direction. Mr. Frederick Bates, the United States government expert who is at the head of the division of polarimetry at the bureau of standards and working in conjunction with other government scientists, just worked out the detailed plans for such a magnet when he discovered that the foreign instrument makers who ultimately built this one for our government had been covering the same ground at the same time, each inventor unconscious of the activities of his rival on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Perhaps the most unusual attribute of this magnet is that it is made available for continuous use, this being accomplished by replacing ordinary insulated wires such as are commonly used with copper tape. This copper tape is surrounded by insulating oil. Through this oil there are run coils of copper tubing through one-half inch in diameter and through this tubing cold water is circulated to carry off the enormous heat which is developed. In the same room with the new magnet is a yet newer invention—the product of government scientists—which promises great things. It is known as a vacuum gauge and it will enable more minute and more accurate measurement than has heretofore been possible in the case of a vacuum. One of the most notable of Uncle Sam's scientific triumphs of the present year is the new system of multiplex telephony mentioned above and which by its disclosure of a method of transmitting a number of telephone messages simultaneously over the same wire is expected to greatly reduce the cost of long distance telephone conversation. In connection with the development of this new form of telephony which will make one wire do the work of ten, Major Squier and his associates have carried on some experiments which, though originally intended only as a means to an end, now promise to have a distinct value of their own in disclosing the possibilities of transmitting music by telephone. The music of a phonograph or graphophone CARD-SORTING MACHINE QUEST INVENTED FOR THE U.S.CENSUS dozen or more, end to end, are supported in horizontal position. One of the most amazing tricks performed by the magnet is to support a glass dish by means of a small piece of iron placed inside the dish, the power of magnetic attraction being exerted upon the iron through the thickness of the layer of glass. Another impressive illustration of the power of this monster magnet is afforded when a handful of nails are thrown in the air perhaps three or four feet away from the magnet. As though whisked in by an in- A "RECEIVING END OF A NOVEL NEW STYLE MAIL CONVEYOR THE OLST PENSULS JULIST CENSUS TRANSMITTING PHONOGRAPH MUSIC BY PHONE was the particular form of melody transmitted and the results were really surprising in many respects. For one thing the music as heard at the other end of the line was remarkably clear and sweet. Indeed it was seemingly more perfect tone production than that obtainable under any other conditions inasmuch as the telephone served to entirely eliminate the "needle nose," the one suggestion of the mechanical which talking machine inventors have never been able to entirely eliminate. It is believed that this disclosure of the possibilities of transmitting music by phone will ultimately enable people to enjoy concerts by the best vocal and instrumental talent when seated in their own homes. This would, of course, prove an especial boon in the case of suburbanites and residents of the rural districts where the use of the telephone has increased so tremendously in recent years. In the experiments with multiplex telephony the graphophone music was employed to still further demonstrate the possibility of using a single wire for the transmission of various messages simultaneously, each independent of the others. For instance, on one occasion Caruso, by means of a "talker," sang on the line while "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (as recited into a separate transmitter close at hand) was carried over the same wire at the same time without in any way interfering with the famous tenor's voice. Of Uncle Sam's recent innovations in technical equipment none bids fair to ultimately work greater wonders than the lately introduced Pulmotor. The Pulmotor is a delicately adjusted machine that occupied a portable case not much larger than the ordinary dress-suit case, and its function is to bring back to life persons supposed to be dead. The government provided the first of these new miracle workers for the use of the newly established United States bureau of mines in its work of rescuing men overcome by the poisonous gases in coal mines, but the advent of the invention is opening up life-saving possibilities in other fields, as, for instance, at bathing beaches and in city hospitals—In short in any case where death is threatened through the filling of the lungs with gas or water. The Pulmotor is, in effect, an automatic breathing machine, its function being to draw the poisonous gases out of the lungs and to force into the lungs in turn the life-giving oxygen. The mechanism includes a cylinder in which oxygen is stored under pressure, a blowing and suction valve actuated by two accordion bellows, and a hood or mask which fits over the mouth and nostrils of the patient, making an THE MOST POWERFUL MAGNET IN THE THE MOST POWERFUL MAGNET IN THE WORLD air-tight connection between the human lungs and the mechanical lungs of the machine. It is said of this new invention that it will "make a corpse breathe," meaning that it will compel the diaphragm to move in a body in which life is wholly extinct. The new device costs $800, making it one of the world's most expensive pieces of rescue equipment, as it is certainly one of the most effective. Comparatively little experience is required for its successful operation. Government officials have within the past few months invented several new machines for quickening and cheapening the manufacture of paper money and postage stamps and whereas these inventions may not find very extensive adoption outside the government workshops, they will exert an important influence there. Among these new inventions is a remarkable combination machine which at one operation stamps the successive serial number on each bank note, impresses in color the official seal, cuts the sheets of money into individual notes and counts the bills—tasks that formerly required as many different machines and an immense expenditure of time. Another new invention is a machine which automatically trims at one stroke all four edges of a sheet of bank notes. A third new invention is a machine for automatically wetting the sheets of paper used in printing our currency—a chore that had for JOHN M. BURKE merely to be done by hand—and a fourth invention is a mechanism which neatly arranges in colls the postage stamps which are to be placed on sale in vending or stamp-selling machines which it is planned to introduce in this country following the example of Germany and other foreign countries Much has been printed from time to time regarding the "machines that almost think" invented by the mechanical experts of the United States census bureau to aid Uncle Sam in the big task of counting noses. However, there is one invention, newer than any of the others regarding which little has been said. This is the automatic card-sorting machine, the function of which is to sort mechanically the ninety odd million cards representing the people of the United States—for, under our present system of card-indexing the country the census office has on file'a bit of pasteboard to represent every man, woman and child in the republic. The new sorter sorts cards at a speed of from 300 to 325 per minute, sorting the cards into thirteen different drawers. The machine is operated by electricity and the sorting is done through the medium of sensitive needles which seek out the holes which have previously been punched in each card to record biographical facts and distribute the cards according to the location of these holes. Uncle Sam's greatest business institution, the postoffice department, has lately fostered its share of new inventions aside from the stamp-pending machines with which it has long been experimenting. The late novelites include an electric canceling machine for canceling the stamps on letters and postmarking the envelopes; a trolley system for Landling mail in city postoffices and a belt conveyor system for the same purpose. Two clerks in the postoffice department lately invented a machine that cuts down work 20 per cent. In the money order branch of our postal headquarters, through its faculty in automatically printing the money order fees as the amounts of the paid money orders are recorded for auditing purposes. And finally, the department is on the eve of perfecting a remarkable new machine for the use of every postmaster throughout the country who conducts a branch of the new postal savings bank. This last-mentioned invention is suggestive in appearance of the familiar cash register and its function is to mechanically fill out the deposit slips of the lately-established "poor man's bank," a work that had formerly to be done by hand. Not only will this new mechanical toller save time and labor, but it will make dishonesty virtually impossible on the part of any employee handling postal bank deposits. --- WOMEN MAY AVOID OPERATIONS By taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The following letter from Mrs. Orville Rock will prove how unwise it is for women to submit to the dangers of a surgical operation when it may be avoided by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. She was four weeks in the hospital and came home suffering worse than before. Here is her own statement. I suffered very severely with a displacement. I could not be on my feet for a long time. My physician treated me for seven months without much relief and at last sent me to Ann Arbor for an operation. I was there four weeks and came home suffering worse than before. My mother advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I did. Today I am well and strong and do all my own housework. I owe my health to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and advise my friends who are afflicted with any female complaint to try it."—Mrs. ORVILLE Rock, R. R. No. 5, Paw Paw, Michigan. If you are ill do not drag along until an operation is necessary, but at once take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For thirty years it has been the standard remedy for women's ills, and has positively restored the health of thousands of women. Why don't you try it? Our idea of a true philosopher is a man who is able to explain away his faults to the satisfaction of himself. Ungracious Drops. Stella—Did they give the bride a shower?

Kissing Breach of Peace. The better half of a respected citizen of New Jersey recently had the temerity to hale her lord and master before the court on a charge of having kissed her against her will. For this heinous offense this shameless Jersey benedict was bonded over in $100 bail to keep the peace, and, moreover, was warned by the judge never again to kiss his wife without first obtaining her consent in due form. If he is any kind of a man, probably he will never want to kiss her again—Washington Herald. THE IDEA. Kitty—Gracious, no! He offered to get my divorce without any publicity. COMES A TIME "Of late years coffee has disagreed with me," writes a matron from Rome, N. Y. "Its lightest punishment being to make me 'logy' and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. "The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my appetite and making me nervous and irritable, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit the coffee and try Postum. "It went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and refreshing beverage, but a food as well." "All my aliments, the loginess and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irritability disappeared in short order and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I began to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoicing in sound health which I owe to the use of Postum." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Co.

I picked it up just as you passed." "She took the money, and hurried after another man who had passed at the time the money dropped. "Excuse me, sir," she said, "I think you lost this."

FREE MUNYON'S PAW-PAW PILLS TRADE MARK A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw Pills will be sent free to anyone on request. Address Professor Munyon, 53d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are in need of medical advice, do not fail to write Professor Munyon. Your communication will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as carefully as though you had a personal interview. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlite all other laxatives or cathartics. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods. They do not scour, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they do all the secretions of the liver and stomach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and corrects constipation. In my opinion constipation is responsible for most alliments. There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe. When this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, causing百里香, indigestion and impura blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver aliment can expect to have, a clear completion or enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the sale of nine-teenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and so paralyze the bowels that they refuse to act unless forced by strong urgatives. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves. They migrate instead of weaken; they ench the blood instead of impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope; they are soothing, healing and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic. Regular size bottle, containing 45 pills, 25 cents.

GOLDEN TEXT-"He That Being Often Reproved Hardened his Neck, Shall Suddenly be Destroyed, and That Without Remedy."-Prov. 28:1. KING-Hoshea became king in the twelfth year of Abas (2 Kings 17:1). B. C. 726 (Beecher), 730 (Hastings), Samaria fell B. C. 718 (Beecher), 722 (Hastings). PLACE-Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom, about 35 miles north of Jerusalem. KING-Nephilim in Judah, carrying out his reforms. In Assyria and Babylon, Shalmaneser IV, followed by Sargon II. in Assyria and Merodabad in Babylon. In Egypt, Saboka (So.). PROPHETS—Isalah and perhaps Hosea and Micah. What was the character of Hoshea? The implication of v. 2 is that, though he allowed the practices of idolatry and the other evils of his predecessors, yet he was a better man than they. Perhaps the teachings of Hoshea had reached his heart. "About his personal character we know little. We may infer that it lacked decisive energy and lofty patriotism. Beginning his reign as a mere puppet in Assyria's hands, he shaped his career as an opportunist. He was too astute to offend any national susceptibilities by abandoning the worship of Jehovah, too cautious and politic to play the role of a purist in religious practices. The impartial historian will not judge this last king of Ephram too severely, but will unhesitatingly admit that he lived in times of direst difficulty and peril, when nothing but miraculous divinely guided statesmanship, like that of Isaiah, could have saved the realm from overwhelming disaster." The Northern Kingdom had had its chance, and had thrown it away. "There is less hope for us each year and day we live in sin. Every hour we are drifting out to sea—the helpless, helmless bark is leaving the lessening shore farther and farther behind. Our disease becomes incurable. Like those stones which, though soft as clay on being raised from the quarry, grow hard as flint through exposure to the weather, our hearts are growing harder day by day." Hoshea's imprisonment is a fair sample of the result of dependence upon men rather than God. Trust in Egypt was Israel's snare from the first. The prophets compared it to trusting in a shadow or making a staff out of a bruised reed. "The bankrupt who asks a bankrupt to set him up in business again is only losing time. The prisoner does not beg his fellow prisoner to set him free. The shipwrecked sailor does not call upon his shipwrecked comrade to place him safe ashore." In our troubles we are not to scorn the aid of men, but we are to know that without God's favor and assistance all human help is vain. What measures did Shalmaneser take to reduce to submission his rebellious vassal? He sent (or led in person) an army against him. Professor Rogers thinks that Hoshea marched to meet this army, and was then captured and sent to Assyria as a prisoner. At any rate, "Samarla prepared for a siege. There is something heroic in the very thought. It was surrounded and hemmed in by territory which it had once ruled in undisputed sway, but which had long been controlled by Assyrian governors and filled with Assyrian colonists. As Shalmaneser advanced closer he would, of course, destroy and lay waste everything about the city which might have furnished any aid or comfort to it. From the villages and towns thus destroyed the people would flock into the capital until it was crowded. The people of Samarla may have hoped for help from Egypt, watching with sick hearts for signs of an approaching army of succor. They knew what surrender meant in the loss of their city, and in probable deportation to strange lands. They were fighting to the bitter end for homes and for life. What God had done: By a marvelous deliverance, he had brought them out of their bondage in Egypt. He had driven out the Canaanites from before them. He had given them the commandments, and full and wise laws. He had made a covenant with them, over and over, promising them all blessings if they would obey him. He had sent them the prophets and seers, the best and wisest of men, to declare his will and lead the way. What Israel had done: They had fallen into a worse bondage, becoming slaves of an abominable idolatry. They had fallen to worshiping the very gods of the Canaanites, thus proved powerless. They had broken the commandments, especially the most solemn and important, that against idolatry. They had failed to keep their part of the covenant, and could not expect God to keep his part. They would not listen to the prophets, but persisted in all iniquity, setting up idolatrous obelisks, and Asherlm, and even sacrificing their children to the fire god Molech.

"Philosophers are not all dead yet," said the dentist. "I met one this morning who knocked me out of 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 do it today,' he said, 'I'm too busy.' '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." DOCTOR PRESCRIBES CUTICURA REMEDIES "I wish to let you know of a couple of recent cures which I have made by the use of the Cuticura Remedies. Last August, Mr. —— of this city came to my office, troubled with a severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis in its worst form. It started with a slight eruption and would affect most parts of his body, thighs, elbows, chest, back and abdomen—and would terminate in little pustules. The itching and burning was dreadful and he would almost tear his skin apart, trying to get relief. I recommended all the various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions, but nothing seemed to help him. "In the meantime my wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been trying different prescriptions and methods with my assistance, told me she was going to get some of the Cuticura Remedies and give them a fair trial. But as I did not know much about Cuticura at that time I was doubtful whether it would help her. Her skin would thicken, break and bleed, especially on the fingers, wrists and arms. I could do nothing to relieve her permanently. When she first applied the warm baths of Cuticura Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided improvement and in a few days she was completely cured. "I lost no time in recommending the Cuticura Remedies to Mr. _____ and this was two months ago. I told him to wash with warm baths of the Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuticura Ointment generously. Believe me, from the very first day's use of the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly relieved and today he is completely cured through their use. I have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies and shall always have a good word for them now that I am convinced of their wonderful merits." (Signed) B. L. Whitehead, M.

EXCUSE FOR HIS BLUNDERING Ideal Walter, True to the End, Had Been Working Under Pretty Heavy Handicap. He was an immaculate servant. To watch him serve a salad was to watch an artist at work. To hear his subdued accents was a lesson in the art of voice-production. He never slipped, he never smiled, and his mutton-chop whiskers marked him as one of the old and faithful stock. But one evening, to the surprise of his master, he showed unaccountable signs of nervousness. When the chicken came on, he confused it with the pheasant. He served everything in the wrong order, made blunder after blunder, and made a final touch to his shame by unsetting the salt over the only superstitious member of the party. Then, at last, when the ladies had retired to the drawing room he touched his master on the shoulder. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said in a respectful undertone, "but could you manage to spare me now? My house is on fire." Publicity Law Badly Needed Publicity Law Badly Needed. Connecticut, District of Columbia, Kansas, Malne, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont, have laws which provide specifically for the reporting of tuberculosis and which make provision for the proper registration of living cases of this disease. In 14 other states, laws or regulations of the state boards of health require that tuberculosis be reported simply as one of a list of infectious diseases. The following 28 states and territories have no provisions whatever for the reporting or registration of tuberculosis cases:—Arizona, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawai, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Philippine Islands, Porto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming. An Unlaureled Hero. Here is a niche in the Hall of Fame for Seth A. Eaton, a rural mail carrier from the Middleboro post office, who, surrounded by woodland fire, his horse lying on the ground stifled with smoke, his own hair singed, his hat burned and one side of his face and hands blistered, was still mindful of duty and saved the mail he was carrying by burying it in the sand, before he fought through the line of fire to safety.

The National Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that the first requisite for a comprehensive campaign for the elimination of tuberculosis in a state or city is well-enforced law, requiring that every living case of tuberculosis be reported to the health authorities. Such reporting is now required by law or health regulations in 25 states, while in 28 states and territories no provision whatever is made for keeping records of cases of this infectious disease. Several cities in non-registration states, as for instance, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis and New Orleans, have local ordinances requiring that tuberculosis be reported. In all, there are about 100 cities in the United States which have ordinances of this nature. Tuberculosis and be compelled to pay to your landlord most of your hard-earned profits?

RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Beaked Whales and West Indian Echinoids Are Described in the Bulletins of the National Museum. The United States National museum has issued two bulletins in the quarterseries. Of these the first, Bulletin 73 is "An account of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of the United States National museum, with remarks on some specimens in other American museums," by D. Frederick W. True, head curator of the department of biology in the United States National museum. The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three genera only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradius, and to the discussions of these with their individual species Doctor True has devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No. 74, is "On Some West Indian Echinodids," by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulletin is the list of North American and West Indian Echinodids, which he has carefully compiled from the specimens obtained by the Blake and the Albatross. The bulletin is beautifully illustrated by 16 full-page plates of these interesting forms of marine life. Rev. Butler, pastor of the 2nd.

A women has no natural grace more beswitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of flutes on the water; it leaps from her heart in a clear sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool exhilarating spring. How much we owe to that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the darksome wood in which we are travelling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of immortality.—Exchange --- We do all kinds of fancy JOB PRINTING, Satisfaction Guarenteed.

That's more than I pay my cook," she retorted with curling lip. "Then get your cook to dance at tendance at all manner of borses affairs; to give you the face to do what an unmarried woman never dares do; to be always at hand yet out of the way; never to mind no matter how you choose to conduct yourself—in short, to be a husband to you in the modern sense of the term!" he flared out defiantly. She perceived that the worm had turned. "Hush!" she implored, and searched for her checkbook—Puck. BAD NOTES EASILY DETECTED Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeits, but from a thick and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this, that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeits. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young man study: the genuine carefully, and there will be no trouble in detecting the notes.-National Magazine. Where She'd Wear It. Somebody sent this to the society editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and made affidavit that it really happened. Here it is: They were out at an afternoon card party. A stout woman dropped a card to the floor. "Would you be so kind as to pick up that card for me?" she inquired of the little woman at her right. "Certainly," said the accommodating woman at the right, picking up the card. "You see," explained the stout woman, "I've got on a brand new $50 corset, and I'm afraid I'll strain it if I lean over." "Hum!" commented the other woman, enviously. "If I had a $50 corset I'd wear it on the outside. I really would." --- TABOR CASH PRIZES $15.
