YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER Liabilities And Assets Of The Negro By Dr. H. M. William's Address. FOURTEENTH YEAR "In bookkeeping there are always two sides to the ledger—assets and liabilities. In order at any time to find out how your account is running each side of side must be added up and the difference ascertained. The same principal holds good with races and individuals. There are certain assets or items to our credit and certain liabilities or items that are against us. In discussing the liabilities and assets against the negro race, I shall simply name the items on each side of the ledger and leave it to you, to time and eternity to add and subtract "I shall begin with his liabilities and ask you consider them and see it as leaders and faithful followers we cannot assist greatly in cancelling them. The items of liability are: first, his poverty. A race of paupers can never wish to measure arms with a race possessing great wealth, If the negro preacher and teachers of 25 years ago had as much foresight in the matter of instructing the people to economize, purchase homes, own land, establish business enterprises, when the race was making money like gathering manna from the ground, we would verily have been further up the hill in material progress than we are now. Though late with forty years of excellent opportunity having passed, it is still not too late for the race to become active in the removal of its poverty--stricken condition from this side. Secondly, indolence is another great item against and weighs heavily, chiefly affecting young negro. While it is a sad fact that the organized labor of the other race is greatly responsible for the idleness of the host of young negroes who are industrious law abiding, and who have large a families to support, yet there are thousands of young negroes who are professional leafers; of who should be loaded upon wagons or floats and hauled from the pool room, moving picture shows and street corners and carried forty miles into the country and dumped upon the turning rows of some farm and made to go to and simple. Our children should be taught that it is honorable to work with their hands; that is my chief reason for favoring Dr. Booker T. Washington's policy of industrial education. Extravanganc is the next item to be named against us as a race Living above one's means and mimicking the rich; excursions, balls and banquets consume a thousands of dollars that could be far more profitably used. There are some men in our ranks assumming to be iconoclastic, who instead of hombarding against this form of extravagance are constantly hammering at the negroe's religious and lodge meetings, claiming that these annual meetings are they which consume our millions. But these critics fail to see that it is these meetings in which the race shapes its policies and out of which come great results, whether in dollars and cents or otherwise. Extravagance in dress and pleasure are the things to be discouraged. Ignorance is our next liability While our progress intellectually has been peenomenal, it cannot be denied that the masses of the race are still contrained. Ignorance will never rule intelligence. Intelligence will ever ride while ignorance will walk. Trained service is ever high, while drudgery is eheap. Intelligence is useful everywhere. God pity the ignorant people, a sorry lawyer, doctor, or teacher. What can an ignorant boy study but mischief? Non-co-operation is our next item. A very strong point with the white race is their ability to organize in the twinkling of an eye, for any laudable purpose. Lack of confidence in the members of his own race will for some hurt us in business. We expect too much to be done for us by the other race, is another liability. Even our Lord and Master will not do for races or individuals that which they can do ourselves. Why should we expect another race to do for us what we can do for ourselves? We all must make openings for our own boys and girls. We must not expect the other race to fill positions of honor with our boys and girls while theirs stand idly by and walk the streets. Blood will ever be thicker than water. The lass, but not least, is hatred. The black man has no more business to hate the white man than the white man has to hate the black man. So long as the black man hates the white man because he is white, and so long as the white man hates the black man because he is black. God will reject them both. Christ's law of love must settle problems. Love is divine— souls of God; while hatred is satanic, low and hellish whether in one race our another. that fear and acceptable to his individual that will be loved is truely a rai in his very na He loves religious sense of mo many instan but as he undevotee to his God, See him like the wid mite, sacrifice for his church thrives and p "If the neg Having thus mentioned what I have rented as our most serious liabilities, I shall now name certain items that are in our favor. "We have a good record. A record is worth much in all of the walks of life. When the youthful David presented himself before Saul as being willing to go out and do battle against the giant Golliath, he was asked what he had done that led him to believe that he could combat such a for midable foe. David's only and immediate answer was "I have slain a lion and a bear." Saul at once consented; David went and you know the result. I argue that my race has a good record, not as anarchist or villians. Granting that there are some of ugly charges made against us, yet as a race we do not plead guilty, for in every instance where these crimes are committed the best class of negroes have condemned them in strong terms and gone so far in thousands of instances as to assist in capturing the guilty ones. "Crimes is not out record. Our record is patriotic record. This has been shown in all the wars where the negro has been called upon to shed blood for his country from Hannibal, the mighty Carthagenian, down to the valiant Tenth Cavalry up San Juan Hill, Intellectually the race has proved itself at Harvard and Yale, as well as at the thousand public schools of the south capable of a high degree of development. At West Point he has shown a military skill and ability. And in the commercial world, I. T. and Montgomery and Charles Banks of Mississippi, have done much to demonstrate our ability here. "Our third asset is the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. If God be for us, who can be against us? God is no respecter persons, but in every race and nation they that fear and serve him are acceptable to him. Any race or individual that will love the Lord will be loved of him. The negro is truely a race of religion. It is in his very nature to love church He loves religion even at the expense of money. His ideas in many instances may be crude, but as he understands it, he is a deyotee to his church and to his God. See him out of his poverty like the widow casting in her mite, sacrificing his last penny for his church, and as a result he thrives and prospers. "If the negro will but trust in God, be honest and industrious, the final result will be that his assets will be greater than his liabilities." Ex.

The average colored man is a man on whom you may dependhe is staunch and loyal as friend and never forgetful, although forgiving, an enemy. By circumstances and conditions—the average colored man is a laboring man and one who never tires at work. As a laborer he is trusty and always cheerful and meets the hardest tasks with a resolution which knows no failure. Since supporting race enterprises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap. NO.19 Prof. Smith's Band Boys Will Give A PROMENADE CONCERT.

On Their Way to Paris Bearing Note to European Powers—Says Father is Broke. New York, N. Y.—Antonio, Simon, son of the deposed president of Haiti, with six officials of the republic who fled from the troubles there, arrived here on board the steamer Allemania from Port au Prince. Simon and his friends brought with them a number of boxes of gold, which were locked in the steamer's safe. Mr. Simon said that he was bearing a note to the European powers pertaining to the recent revolution in Haiti. He refused to discuss the contents of the note. He said one of the principal causes of the revolution was the abuse of railroad concessions granted to American railroad interests and capitalists. His father had practically no funds at present, he said, but the present powers in Haiti have said that his estate will not be confiscated and the ex-president may realize from these later on. BOND VOTE RETURN INCOMPLETE Secretary of State Wires 10 Counties to Make Immediate Report or Pay Costs. Jefferson City, Missouri.—There are ten counties that have not yet sent official returns to the secretary of state from the election held recently at which bonds were voted for a new state capitol. These counties are: Atchison, Camden, Carter, Dent, Mercer, Mississippi, Ozark, Pettis, Shannon and Taney.

Des Moines Car Strike Ends Des Moines, Iowa.—The Des Moines street car strike, with 500 men out, followed by riots lasting last day, ended abruptly when District Judge DeGraff issued a madatory writ of injunction at the request of the city of Des Moines, directing J. R. Harrigan, general manager of the company at once to reinstate Conductor B. L. Hiatt, whose discharge started the strike, and also the striking street car men's union to return to work. Not a car was run during the strike. Boys Try to Burn Orphanage Chicago, Illinois.—Four small orphan boys forced a fifth boy, a half-witted fatherless and motherless urchin, under threats of death, to set fire to a pile of rags, straw and wood they had saturated with kerosene in the attic of the Uhlich Evangelical Lutheran orphanage here.

SAVING THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS PROBING LIVE STOCK RATES PROBING LIVE STOCK RATES SOUTHWEST FREIGHT TARIFFS WILL BE READJUSTED. General Investigation Ordered Will Cover Wide Range of Territory. Washington, D. C.—A general investigation into freight rates on live stock, packing house products and fresh meat in effect throughout the section of the country west, south and southwest of Chicago, has been ordered by the interstate commerce commission. The hearing will begin at Oklahoma City September 11. The respondent railway's number 162. The investigation is based on complaints of the rates filed with the commission by the railroad commission of Oklahoma, the Texas Cattle Raisers' association, the American National Live Stock association and others interested in live stock and meat products shipments. Incidentally commercial rivalry between two sets of packers in Chicago enters into the case. In view of the great importance of the several proceedings heretofore instituted it was decided by the commission to consolidate them into one case. It was regarded as next to impossible so to adjust the rates as to insure parity of charges throughout the territory by the consideration and disposition of individual cases. MARK ROAD IN BLUE AND WHITE Extension of Interstate Trail From St. Joseph to Kansas City Will be Easy to Find. Smithville, Missouri—Tourists who travel between Kansas City and St. Joseph will have no difficulty finding their way if they follow the new blue and white trail that is being blazed between the two cities.

SENATE ADMIT TWO NEW STATES Recall Provision Remains in Constitution of Arizona—President May Veto Measure. Washington, D. C.—After adopting without opposition some immaterial amendments, the senate adopted the house resolution providing for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as states. The Nelson amendment, striking from the Arizona constitution the provision for the recall of judges, was voted down after senators individually had expressed themselves as opposed to this feature of the document. The vote on the final passage was 53 to 18—far more than enough to insure a two-thirds vote to override the president's veto, if he carries out his expressed purpose to veto the resolution on account of the recall of judges provided in the Arizona constitution. It is believed, however, that with the certainty of being overridden, he will approve the resolution. "FAST CURE" KILLS PATIENT Unlicensed Woman Practitioner Under Arrest Charged With Murder. Seattle, Wash.—Mrs. Linda Burfield Hazzard, an unlicensed medical practitioner, generally known as the "starvation doctor," because of her system of cure, was arrested at her sanitarium in Ollala on an information charging murder in the first degree by causing the death of Miss Claire Williamson, a wealthy English woman.

Several of Mrs. Hazzard's patients are said to have starved themselves to death, notably Lewis E. Rader, formerly deputy state treasurer, and Frank S. Southard, an attorney of Seattle. Canada Might Get Free Trade. Ottawa, Ontario—Premier Laurier's fight for the reciprocity bill took him to Montreal to confer with a group of Canadian manufacturers who are opposing it on the ground that it foreshadows reduction of duties on manufactured articles. The lever with which the premier hopes to dislodge their opposition is that Canadian farmers, should the bill be defeated this year, will unite in a sweeping movement for the removal of the tariff on manufactures as well as natural products. Stole a Monoplane. St. Louis, Mo.-E. E. Lessard, an aviator, who has been attempting flights at Washington park, telephoned to Sheriff Mulconnery of East St. Louis that someone had stolen his monoplane.

GENERAL ACEVEDO SURRENDERS Says He Was Forced to Join Band of Negroes—Believed to be Crazy. Havana.—Gen. Acevedo who tried to start a revolution has surrendered to Gov. Asbert in Santa Maria Del Rosario, a short distance south of Havana. He was brought here and placed in jail. Acevedo said that several days ago he was requested to go to a certain place where he met a party of armed men, mostly negroes. He said they threatened him with death unless he promised to lead them against the government. Having exacted that promise, the party disappeared. Acevedo said he was so frightened that he took to the woods to hide from them. Acevedo protested his loyalty to the government and expressed himself as greatly relieved at being assured of protection against the revolutionists. Officials believe he is deranged. CAMORRA TRIAL NOT HALF OVER After Over Four Months Work Famous Trial is still Unfinished. Viterbo, Italy.—More than four months and a half have passed since the Camorra trial began, and it can scarcely be said that the court is half done with this case, which has no precedent, at least in Italy. The Camorra as a whole is wounded to death, as its sole existence so far depended on the protection of those in high places, who were afraid of not being protected by the Camorrists, and after this it will be hard to find a candidate to any public office who will consider it an advantage to be supported by Camorrists. SHOT WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE Kansas Convict Tries to Run From Federal Prison and is Wounded. Leavenworth, Kansas.—While trying to escape from the state prison at Lansing William Joiner, a negro prisoner, 35 years old, was shot in the face by J. N. Ralston, a tower guard.

The suspension affects all class rates from Atlantic seaboard points to Kansas City, Omaha and other Missouri river transfers. Wichita Not to Recall Mayor Wichita, Kansas—It is conceded that the petition filed for the recall of Mayor J. H. Graham and the city commissioners, E. M. Leach and Robert B. Campbell, is insufficient. About 50 per cent of the 4,100 names on the petition are illegal. It requires 3,500 names to call a recall election in this city, and the petition will have fewer than 2,000 names on it when the city clerk has finished checking off the illegal names. Postal Bank Gets $41,000. New York, N. Y.—The new postal savings bank here took in more than $41,000 in its first week. This is an average of nearly $7,000 a day, which the postal authorities think is doing pretty well for 2 per cent. Ten hundred and sixty-five new accounts were opened in all, of which 173 came the first day. Municipal Lights for Wyandotte Kansas City, Kansas.-The plans and specifications for the municipal electric light plant in Kansas City, Kan., drawn by the McLaughlin Engineering company have been approved by the commissioners.

Paris, France.—Jules Vedrines, the French aviator, started home from London by airline and safely crossed the English channel. STATEHOOD BILL PASSES SENATE REJECTS NELSON AMENDMENT FOR STRIKING OUT JUDICIARY RECALL PROVISION. ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO Senators Bristow and Curtis Against Bills—Taft's Dissatisfaction Is Feared But Indications Are That Bill Will Become Law Without His Signature. Washington, D. C.—The bill granting statehood to New Mexico and Arizona, which legislation has been for a number of years the dream of the people of these territories, was passed by the senate, 53 to 18, after rejection of the Nelson amendment, which proposed striking out of the Arizona constitution its judiciary recall provision. The bill as passed by the senate differs only slightly from the house measure, and, it is said, may be unsatisfactory to President Taft. He has contended all along that he would be glad to sign the statehood bill if the Nelson amendment prevailed, but that it was a grave question whether he would be willing to sign it if the amendment were defeated, as it was by 43 to 26. The indications are that the bill will become a law without his signature. The senate amended the house bill with two minor changes regarding the manner of voting in New Mexico on proposed amendments to its constitution. These will undoubtedly be agreed to by the house and the bill expedited to the White House. These amendments were reported by the senate committee on territories and agreed to without-debate. Practially all of the debate on the bill centered around the Nelson amendment. Even some senators who declared their opposition to the recall of judges, voted against the amendment, on the ground that if the people of Arozina desired recall as part of their system of government, it was for them and not for congress to say whether they should have it. The bill as passed, compels Arizona, as a condition precedent to entry into the Union, to submit the recall proposition to the voters for final decision as to whether it shall remain in their constitution. New Mexico must vote on a proposition embodied in the bill which would make the constitution of the state easier of amendment. The test vote came on the Nelson amendment, which was lost. After this had been defeated it was thought the bill would be adopted without division, but Senator Bailey called for the ayes and nays. Senators Bradley of Kentuky, and O'Gorman of New York, voted for the Nelson amendment. The same two members with Senator Bailey, voted against the final passage of the measure, as did two progressive Republicans, Senator Bristow of Kansas, and Kenyon, of Iowa. The others who voted against the admission of the territories were Senators Brandegee of Connecticut; Burnham, New Hampshire; Crane of Massachusetts; Curtis of Kansas; Dillingham of Vermont; Heyburn of Idaho; Lippitt and Wetmore of Rhode Island; Nelson of Minnesota; Oliver and Penrose of Pennsylvania; Root of New York, and Smoot of Utah. John W. Gates Dead. Paris, France.—John W. Gates, the American financier, died at 5:10 this morning in the arms of his wife and his son, Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last crisis. The death of John W. Gates in Paris, removes in his prime one of the boldest and most successful American financiers and a picturesque figure in the field of sports. Since 1880, when he organized the Southern Wire company, Mr. Gates has been a man with whom it was necessary to reckon in the particular industrial affairs to which he had given his attention. In recent years he found relaxation from business cares in becoming a prominent patron of the American turf. Senator Fry Is Dead. Lewiston, Me.-The state of Maine lost its senior United States senator and an almost lifelong faithful servant, when William Pierce Frye died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Helen White, here. At his bedside were Mrs. White and his other daughter, Mrs. Alice Briggs, who also resides in Lewiston. Although he had been ill for a long time, death came suddenly. Indians Granted Appeals. Oklahoma City, Okla.—A writ of error from the United States supreme court, directing that an appeal be granted in the case brought for 12,000 Choctaw and Chickasaws, who are contesting taxation of their allotments by the state, has been received by the clerk of the supreme court. The suit was begun in the superior court of Logan county July 12, 1910. Superior Judge Sandlin decided the case against the Indians and was later up held by the supreme court. The City Man—Your father, I be lieve, cleared the land of everything. The Countryman—Yes—everything but the mortgage. DON'T BUY WATER.

Children Cry for Fletcher's Castoria Felix Smith of Easton, Pa., bought a cat the other day. He paid $5 for her. Why did Felix pay five bucks for the cat? Answer—Because she was guaranteed to be a good ratter. Did Felix have rats? We should say he did—the house was full of 'em! And the cat cleaned 'em out! No; that's the curious part of it. After the cat had been on the job a week the rats were as plentiful as ever. Felix couldn't understand it until one evening he concealed himself in the basement to watch the cat. About 9 p. m., as the cat sat with her eye on a rat hole, Felix says that rat after rat came out of the hole, walked up to the old cat, kissed her good-night and then returned to the hole. After that Felix kicked the cat out of the house.—Boston Post. Baffling the Mosquito Last summer we were pestered with the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night after night, and on one occasion killed between thirty and forty in our bedroom, at midnight. The following day I took a woolen cloth, put a little kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both sides of the wire mesh of the screens with it. That night one lonely mosquito disturbed our rest. Two or three times each week I rubbed the screens in like manner, and we enjoyed peace the rest of the summer. The odor from the oil remains only a few minutes, and the oil itself preserves the screens and keeps away files.—Good Housekeeping Magazine. Truthfully Said. "My friend, you should join the church.

Battle Creek, Mich. --- The UNITED STATES APPLE GROWER to the WORLD A HEAVY BIT READY PIC PICKERS AT WORK IN A LARGE MODERN ORCHARD KING AND HIS PEOPLE It is not too much to say that the American apple,—yellow or green or rosy, but rich and mellow, always,—is the most widely known and most highly esteemed product of Uncle Sam's domain in the estimation of the great majority of the people over seas. We hear much It is not too much to say that the American apple—yellow or green or rosy, but rich and mellow, always,—is the most widely known and most highly esteemed product of Uncle Sam's domain in the estimation of the great majority of the people over seas. We hear much talk of the extent to which American inventions and utilities have won their way around the world, and it is literally true. All up and down the highways of the earth we find strange people using Yankee safety razors and kodaks and enjoying the music of American-made phonographs. But after all it is the American apple which has done more than anything else to carry conviction as to what a bountiful realm is this premier republic of the new world. And, speaking of the apple, it must not be supposed that any measure of its prestige is due to the mere fact that it is a food, whereas some of the other things which we export to the tune of millions of dollars a year are luxuries, pure and simple. The United States is food purveyor to the world with other eatables than the fusional products of our orchards. Why if it were not for our wheat and corn, for instance, half of Europe would go hungry just as were it not for our cotton, thousands of employees of foreign cotton mills would go idle. But with all due respect to these facts it may yet be declared that the American apple is in a class by itself. The old world owes her tobacco and FISHERS AT WORK IN A LARGE her potatoes to the new world, likewise, but these she has succeeded in transplanting to her own soil. For the appetizing apple at its best, however, she must still come to the land of the Stars and Stripes. There does not seem to be a very clear record of just when the American export trade in apples had its beginnings, but probably it began on a small scale almost as soon as the lovers of the good things of earth discovered what a precious boon is the mealy sphere with its refreshing, thirst-quenching propensities. The lands over seas have acquired their enthusiasm for American apples partly because they have already had the best grade of the fruit served to them. There are two explanations of this. On the one hand there is the consideration that only a good grade of apple of certain varieties has the keeping quality to permit of its exportation,—a transfer that means that weeks and more likely months must intervene between the time the apples are picked in Amer- KING AND Most members of the royal family have had from time to time many interesting and amusing adventures when going about in disguise. They are able to escape for a little while from the rigid etiquette and ceremony that normally surround them, and to enjoy a degree of freedom very welcome to them. King George as prince of Wales had many adventures in different parts of London in various disguises, which enabled his majesty to obtain a close insight into the different phases of life among many of his subjects, Pearson's Weekly say. One of the most interesting adventures King George has had in disguise was a visit his majesty paid to a big railway goods yard some years ago on an occasion when there was an enormous pressure of heavy goods traffic. The king, then duke of York, went to the yard at 11 p.m., accompanied by a member of the royal household. Both were dressed in the gear of working men who were waiting in the yard until midnight on the chance of being taken on for the night shift if the work was specially heavy. Only a few of the railway officials were aware that the heir to the throne was standing among the squad of hungry men eagerly and anxiously waiting the arrival of the foreman, who might pick out some of the most robust among them to aid in shifting the mountain of goods from the trucks to the clearing sheds during the night. For nearly an hour the prince watched the work proceeding in the big yard under the white glare of the arc lamps with immense interest, and chatted to the man about him, entering thoroughly into the spirit of their rough but good humored chaff. A few minutes before midnight one of the railway officials who was aware of the presence of the prince came up to his royal highness and stood by him. A minute later the foreman arrived and after casting a searching glance over the squad before him, ica and the time they are eaten under foreign skies. The second considerati o n, and it is equally important, in its influence, is that the sale of American apples abroad, extensive as it is, is for the most part to people who can afford to pay for such delicacies. The poorest classes in Europe eat the yields of our wheat and corn fields and if we could not sell our wheat and corn at reasonable prices, they would be obliged to pass them by and eat rice or some other food staple that could be obtained at prices within their means. With apples, however, the situation is very different. The fancy varieties that find way to alien shores, each apple neatly wrapped in its individual piece of paper, must perforce demand good prices and consequently thus far the only sale is among the wealthy or well-to-do. Perhaps, some day, if the craze for apple growing continues, we shall be producing so many apples of the poorer grades that our orchardists will in self-defense have to seek a market abroad for the poorer or at least the cheaper grades of apples. When one is told that you are required to pay as high as twenty or twenty-five cents proceeded slowly to pick out a dozen men, who were then marched off to work. The rest walked out of the yard except the prince and his companion, who were escorted out a little while later by the railway official. The latter had stood by his royal highness in case the foreman should have selected him for the night shift. The foreman was not informed of the identity of the prince, but had simply been instructed not to take on the two men beside whom the railway official was standing. Queen Mary has, indeed, had almost as many adventures as the king in disguise. Some years after her marriage the queen made a series of expeditions about the east end of London, visiting all the poorest quarters as an ordinary lady visitor, her guide frequently being the present bishop of London. The queen also a little while later visited the poorest quarters of Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool in the guise of a nursing sister, which enabled her majesty to go to the worst quarters of these towns with little fear of being subjected to any rough or unpleasant treatment, for the sisters are almost invariably treated with respect even by the roughest characters in these localities. TORPEDO FISH LIKE A SKATE. But the Electric Ray Carries Its Own Storage Battery. A recent addition to the division of fishes in the new national museum in Washington has proven one of the most interesting specimens in the entire collection, according to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It is the electric ray, known in the language of the scientists as the Narcine brasiliensis, harmless enough as to name, but capable of repelling its enemies in a manner peculiarly its own, which gives it its common title of the "torpedo" fish. The electric ray is of the skate variety, with A PROFITABLE ORCHARD apiece in London and on the Continent for those huge red apples that have brought fame to the Pacific Northwest, you have a new explanation of the prices ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 per acre which are demanded for bearing orchards in this favored fruit land. The chances are that in the eyes of the average foreign apple-eater, Niagara Falls does not rank higher as an American wonder than the Hood River Valley in Oregon, the Wenatchee, the Yakima and other districts from the five acre and ten acre fruit farms of which come the winesaps and other varieties of apples that compel the most conservative European epicure to concede that America must be a wonderful place after all. But it would be a great mistake to convey the impression that it is only the apples from Oregon and Washington which are freighted over land and sea to win praises in foreign tongues. The greatest apple shipping port in the world is Watsonville, California, and countless apples have gone forth as silent missionaries from the great orchards of the middle west and particularly from the Ozarks which long ago attained a proud position as a fountain head of the stream of apples that annually overspreads the world. The most famous apple growing region in the east—the picturesque Albemarle highlands of old Virginia—is likewise a heavy contributor to the larders of moneyed foreigners. From this historic section of the Old Dominion come the famous Albemarle pippins which bring prices ranging up to $10 a barrel and which are such favorites a broad, flat, nearly oval head and body, and a tail something like that possessed by the majority of well-known fishes. Its mouth is on the under side and it can only feel the way to it when feeding. But the real curiosity about this fish is the fact that it carries its own storage battery with it on all its wanderings and that it has the power of recharging the thousands of little cells when they become exhausted, using its power over and over again. There are really two batteries. They are located where one would naturally expect to find the breathing apparatus of the fish, to the right and the left of the beady black eyes and back. They are kidney shaped, occupying perhaps one-third of the upper part of the body. When at peace with itself and the rest of the world the torpedo fish swims around at leisure or rests in shallow water, burrowing in the sand at ease, but if attacked the battery is discharged and the enemy is glad to call it a drawn battle if it can swim away. It gets its prey by using its batteries to supply the necessary current to kill, but it must first complete a connection with the object of its attack. Men have speared these torpedos in shallow waters and have caught them in nets, but on handling them have been very glad to let them go and avoid further shock. Fishermen have been repeatedly knocked down by a contact with them. The species is common along the south Atlantic and gulf coast. DIVISION OF LABOR. There were points of resemblance between Mrs. Hammond and the illies of the field; she had married a young man with a good salary, but she herself had never earned a penny in her life, nor had she been blessed with well-to-do parents. "We have a joint account in the National Fountain bank," she announced to one of her friends, when she had been married a few months. "It is such fun to pay bills by check." "What do you mean by a joint account?" asked the incredulous friend. "Do you put in equal sums?" "Oh, I don't put in any," said Mrs. Hammond. "Will put it in and I draw it out." in England that the tight little isle takes the lion's share of the crop. This is the apple which was so favored by the late Queen Victoria and which is likewise the especial favorite of Britain's new king. Since this country has assumed the role of purveyor of apples to the civilized world, a great change has taken place in the methods of harvesting the choice grades of apples. No more is there resort to the old hap-hazard method of detailing one boy to climb the tree and shake the limbs while other lads gathered from the ground the fruit which, in all too many cases, was more or less damaged by the fall. Nowadays when keeping qualities are as desirable as flavor in an apple, each apple is picked at its prime,—that is when it has at tained perfection of color, but before it has commenced to grow mellow,—and is carefully packed in box or barrel from which it will emerge in perfect condition after months of cold storage. It was because of the difficulty of obtaining apples that had been packed with extreme care that many large buyers,—particularly those buying for foreign markets,—some years ago inaugurated the practice of buying the apples on the trees and themselves attending to the picking and shipment. The plan has proven so satisfactory to both growers and buyers that it has been paid for the fruit "on the trees" in a single orchard. Of course, the grower does not get as large a lump sum as he would for the packed apples, but his net return is as great or greater and he saves himself no end of trouble and worry and controversy. The apple buyer who purchases an apple crop on the trees in this fashion may bring in his own expert pickers to harvest the fruit or he may merely employ the labor in the neighborhood. It is sometimes declared that a considerable portion of the American people has to put up with what are, in effect, second-grade apples, while the proudest products of our orchards go scooting past our doors enroute to castles and hotels and mansions beyond the Atlantic. Of course, this is true, only in a measure. Immense quantities of all the high-priced varieties of American apples are consumed right here at home, although it may be admitted that the bulk of the supply for the populous eastern cities comes from the orchards of New York, New England and other districts that are close at hand. But, by the way, it may be added that the apple-growing industry in New England is taking a great "brace" as regards the quality of the fruit produced. Stony hillsides, particularly in Connecticut, are, under the advanced methods of cultivation, being made to yield heavy crops of huge delicious apples and if this sort of thing keeps on the time is coming when New England apples will vie in the markets of the world with the prize specimens from the west coast. A noticeable characteristic of the American apple growing industry in all sections of the country is found in the immense numbers of people who are entering the field. There seems to be something of a general mania to take up fruit raising which exceeds in extent the stampede of a few years ago to get into the poultry-raising business. A good many of the newcomers have had little experience in fruit raising, or indeed in farming of any sort and those who are laboring, as many of them are, under the delusion that fruit-raising is an "easy money" proposition requiring neither experience nor hard work, would seem doomed to a rude awakening. On the other hand many of the men who have lately taken up apple raising as a serious business are shrewd business men of energy and determination who will win out in the end, even if they do stumble a few times at first. What is more, a number of them have the capital back of them to stick at the game and this is important inasmuch as the apple industry is liable to prove a waiting game,—not only with young trees which have not reached the bearing stage but also to some extent with mature orchards when a late frost or other inauspicious conditions may ruin a crop and allow the grower no chance for a profit until a full year hence. Some of the apple growers have expressed fear within the past year or two that this immense influx of apple producers will serve to in time glut the market and force down prices. The best-posted authorities, however, take little stock in any dire predictions in this direction. They point out that not only is apple consumption bound to have a natural increase proportionate to the growth in the population of the country, but, more significant still, is the circumstance that the American people are learning to make more extensive use of this supremely healthy fruit, serving it in a variety of new forms which will make the fruit what is ought to be,—a staple on every American table. BREAD MADE WITHOUT FLOUR Ingenious French Idea That Is Said to Have Produced Excellent Results. In France bread has been made without flour in a machine that transforms the wheat directly into dough. This machine shows a large screw turning loosely in a case, on the inner surface of which is a screw thread running in an opposite direction. Between the main threads on the cylinder are smaller threads, and the depth of the groove becomes progressively smaller from one end to the other, so that it will hold the entire wheat grain as it enters the machine, at the same time accommodating only the pulverized wheat at the exit. The wheat is prepared by a thorough washing, after which operation about a pint of tepid water to a pound of grain is added, the whole mixture being allowed to stand some six hours. Then the grains of wheat have swollen to twice their size. The mixture is then treated with yeast and salt, and is poured into the machine. It falls between the threads of the moving screw and of the fixed contrary screw, which simultaneously crush the envelope and body of the grain, making of them a homogeneous mixture that forms a smooth paste. Bread made by this process contains a succession of holes whose size increases as they approach the crust, which is thin. The odor given off is said to be most agreeable. KEEP CLOTHES LINE TAUT The best clothes line from hemp or cotton will stretch during the damp weather. To save the trouble of tightening the line frequently, an easily constructed device may be used. The posts must be set solidly in the ground, and well trampled with fine gravel or broken rock or crockery. Fasten the lines to the crosspieces at one end and let them run through small pulleys at the other end. The loose end should drop down about two feet from the crosspiece and a weight attached to it which will always keep it taut and trim. Blackberry Bread Take a loaf of stale bread, butter one end, and cut off a thin slice. The bread must be quite stale. Continue to butter and slice until you have used the whole loaf. It is always easier and nicer to butter your bread before slicing. Remember this if you ever have to make sandwiches. Put one quart of blackberries in a saucepan with about one cupful of granulated sugar and three-quarters of a cupful of cold water. Stew the berries on a hot part of the stove until they are tender and the juice is running freely. This will probably take about 15 minutes. Stir from time to time. Put a layer of buttered bread into a deep dish and pour some of the hot stewed berries over it, then more bread and more blackberries until all are used. Let the berries cool, then set on ice. Serve in the same dish with cream or milk. Dried Apple Fruit Cake Soak three cups of dried apples over night in cold water enough to swell them. Chop them in the morning and put them on the fire with three cups of molasses; stew until almost soft; add a cup of seedless raisins and stew a few moments; when cold add three cups of four, one cup of butter, three eggs and a teaspoon of soda. Bake in a steady oven. This will make two good sized panfels. Raisins may be omitted, also spices to taste may be added. Delliclous Spanish Chicken. After washing and cutting up a chicken, put on to boil in plenty of water. Thirty minutes later salt to taste. One hour before the chicken is done put one cup of rice in with it to boil slowly. Ten minutes later put Spanish-dressing in with chicken and rice. (Add no more water.) Recipe for Spanish Dressing—Chop very fine two large onions and four cloves of garlic, add one-fourth teaspoon of cayenne pepper, fry in olive oil until a light brown. Scrambled Eggs With Peppers. Break the desired number of eggs into a bowl; a proportion of three for every two persons being the best. Allow a tablespoonful of cream or water (not milk) to each egg and season to taste. Put butter in the frying pan and when it is hot turn in the eggs, stirring gently as they begin to set; Pour in two sweet green peppers; chop fine; first removing the seeds, and stir as the eggs are setting. Serve on toast. Molasses Doughnuts. Two eggs, well beaten, one-half cup sugar, one-half cup molasses, one cup sour milk, one teaspoon soda (rounding full), mixing spoon melted butter, one-half teaspoon ginger, one-half teaspoon cinnamon. Mix as soft as can be handled without sticking. Cut in struts and twist. Care of Egg Beater Care of Egg Beater. An egg beater never should be left to soak in water, as the oil will be washed out of the gears, making it hard to turn. SEARCHLIGHT, PAGE FOUR. THE SEARCHLIGHT Established in 1898. W. N.

The sausage dates back to the year 897. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pork become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strasburg acquired a universal reputation. --- LOCALS THE RESUME OF THIS WEEK Send your news notes and local happiness to 630 M.

In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the fol lowing: If the Hon when met with ts walking in the opposite direotion ta the tourist the animal should be ak lowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stops and stares at the“tourist {t {s proper that the tourist should ‘Shish’ the an. {mal away, as he would an obtrustve goose on a village green. Should the Mon be unmoved by this expression of annoyance: the tourist is advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature. If, after ‘his, the Hon still falls to realize tia 1¢ !s de trop, the tourist is recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands.” Sir Frederick Treves has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. “The rhinoceros is the embodiment of blind conservatism,” he writes. “Its hide is impenetrable, its vision ts weak, while its intellect 4s weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and & sense of smell. It 1s aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is now. This object Reed not be a thing that ts aggressive or inconventent, Its offensiveness de- pends upon the fact that it is unfa- miliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. “When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal vio- lence, although the man may be mere- ly sitting on a stool reading Milton. ‘The massive beast will dash at him like a torpedo or a runaway locomox tive sliply because the smell of him is novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innova- tion, the rhinoceros has charged an fron water tank on the outskirts of a camp and has crumpled it up as a blacksmith would an empty meat tin. “A conservative rhincceros with a senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda rail Way, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoc- eros in this case, {t appeared sur- prised that a thing composed, as it bad imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an addi- tional grievance and an increased swelling of the head.” Tournament on Sea Horeca. Rumor has often told us of seq horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside, Faith 1s, however, no longer called ypon, for in the water of Huntington bay, on the north shore of Long im land, actual sea horses are daily oa pering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament, The strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingeniously composed ot a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an ag- gressive tail. As soon as one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, ak though tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by them- selves, they are flende incarnate as oon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in a manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the dally features of the each at Huntington ts a tournament in which armed knights, each astride) of a prancing sea horse, face each other for battle royal. The riders are equipped with long lances, well wadded at the end with “stuffing.” With there the knights paddle their course to each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins.

The joy of home building for a great many, especially for those living in our larger cities, is to get far out into the country, in some of the numerous pretty little suburbs that are within easy commuting distance. Most American cities are fortunate in their suburbs. If the home builder wants a wooded homesite, a marine view, a beautiful river cottage, picturesque scenery where nature has scooped out ravines and built hills, or if the tastes run more to agriculture and poultry raising, a suburban community can usually be found that pretty exactly meets the requirements. There are two kinds of suburbs, those that "just grew" and those that are the outgrowth of plans laid out by men of foresight. "Give me good transportation, electric cars every ten minutes, and let me have a hundred acre farm fifteen miles from the business section of the city, and I will show you a thriving suburb in five years," recently said a veteran in the art of promoting suburban development. This gives a valuable tip to the man who wants to build himself a home and at the same time realize a good profit on his investment in the event of sale. Pick out a likely looking suburb where the land values have not gone up too high, and pioneer it for awhile. It will be worth doing without some of the extreme conveniences of city life for a time, if by so doing you can sell your place in ten years' THE HOME OF THE MAYFIELD MUSEUM time for two or three times as much as you paid for it. Invest in acre property and enjoy the pleasure of a nice garden, green lawns, shrubs, trees and flowers with plenty of sunshine and open air all around, and all your own. Then after a time when the suburb has developed, you can sell off a lot or two and be practically independent for life. It is natural for the prospective home builder to ask, "What is the best kind of a house to build? What material should I use?" The best advice in answer to this is, "Place your case in the hands of architects who have made a specialty of home planning, and get their expert advice as to just the kind of residence that will best meet your needs; and next, more important still, "build well."

Substantial, first-class construction, using good grade, permanent building materials, costs but little more than the temporary sort. It is well to have an eye to the fire-resisting character of the house, especially when built in the suburbs or smaller communities where there is very little fire protection. The fire-resisting materials, brick veneer, ce ment, etc., with slate or tile roofs are exceedingly popular and help to make the best sort of building investment. The design illustrated herewith is a cement plaster house, the cement applied over expanded metal lath. This is a method of construction that has attained great popularity the last five or six years for suburban buildings. At a cost of very little in excess of ordinary clapboards or shingle siding this cement plaster is put on, making a house that has all the advantages.

The cement plaster is applied in three coats, completely imbedding the expanded metal lath and building up a covering about three-quarters of an inch in thickness. This is thoroughly waterproofed with special waterproof- THE HOUSE ing paint that has been developed for this purpose, so all difficulty from this source is removed. It is said that houses built in this way are just as warm in the winter time as houses of brick or stone, and at the same time are much dryer, being in this respect equal to a substantial frame house. As to artistic appearance, nothing is finer. From the illustration it will be seen that ornamental panel strips of wood are used in connection with the cement plaster siding to break up the large surfaces and produce an attractive "English half-timber" effect. The interior of this house is arranged both conveniently and to get the greatest amount possible of desirable living space. The living room is a very large apartment, extending clear across the front of the house, and is well lighted. The reception hall is so placed as to be an attractive addition to the living room. The dining room and kitchen are well situated. On the second floor there are four large bedrooms, with clothes closet space. The bathroom is on this floor. The total width of this house is 34 feet, its length, 48 feet 8 inches. It is stated that this design can be carried out complete for $4,000, using a good substantial grace of material through-out. For a substantial suburban home it has many points in its favor. Life at Sea Is Uneventful Life at sea is as uneventful as selling groceries, according to Capt. E. J. Smith, who commands the Olympic, the largest steamship in the world, which reached port recently. He doesn't find the romance or the thrill or the sustained excitement in his life's work that tellers of sea tales do. Of his forty old years on the ocean he only remembers that the work was hard and the responsibilities great. "I have been fortunate, I suppose," he said. "I have never been in a wreck, I have never even seen a wreck, I have never seen but one ship in distress, and I have never had a serious accident to a ship under my command. Of course, there are storms and calms, fogs and bergs, but they are the incidents of every-day life on an ocean liner. My life has been completely uneventful." --- TWO RAINY DAYS (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) A fine mist had blown in from the ocean. Robert Vale turned up his coat dollar, but continued along the board walk. The mist grew into rain and some of the drops trickled down Vale's deck. He was opposite the twenty-five-cent theater which presented an hysterical display of yellow and black posters announcing the nightly performance of the Gay Deceivers, when the rain began. Even a cheap, sea-side music hall was preferable to raindrops. Vale purchased a ticket and made his way to the third row of seats. Should the long line of ancestors from whom Vale had inherited his aristocratic bearing—and a few millions—witness his entrance to the small theater they would no doubt wish they had held back at least the millions. In spite of lineage, gold and himself, Vale drew a breath of surprised interest when the curtain went up. The stage pictured a gipsy encampment, rich and warm with the colors of the nomads. On the steps of the open cavern two of the tribe were singing a love duet; a third folled against a tree strumming his musical instrument while a fourth lay propped by her elbow in the glow of the camp fire. It was upon the latter's face that Robert Vale's interest became riveted; her wide gray eyes seemed to hold all the shadows in the world, but her lips smiled—smiled with uncertain bravery. "By Jove!" muttered Vale, "what a beauty! And I have wasted two nights gazing into shallow eyes when I could have looked at these fathomless ones. Wonder what her name is? Nadine." Vale had taken his eyes from the girl long enough to glance at his program. The big glpsy lolling against the tree had burst into song. Vale realized that the voice was good, but he d A Fine Rain Began to Fall. wished the applause would cease. Nadine's name was next on the program. She neither moved from her position by the fire nor seemed to come out of her reverie when she began to sing. Her voice was of the low timber to which the heart instantly responds—a voice not fully developed nor yet quite finished. The plaintive gipsy love song kept her audience tense. Robert Vale had often felt the sorcery in women's eyes or been bewitched by a rougish smile, but this sense of complete thralldom to a music hall singer's charm was quite a new experience. He tried to throw off the fascination and turned his eyes toward the other gipsy, but it was of no use; Nadine's personality held sway. Much to his own amusement he resented the audience; he felt that he would like Nadine to be singing to him alone. Vale walked home after the theater trying to tell himself that the girl was a music hall artist in a twenty-five-cent theater; that she was no doubt the wife of one of the glipses and that she probably wore drabbled willow plumes on the street. Notwithstanding these conjectures he went every night following while the Gay Deceivers played, which was something less than a fortnight. Against his better judgment Vale attempted to write a note to Nadine asking for a meeting. He hoped to become disillusioned, but something stayed his pen and the glipses journeyed on. Later, during the winter, Vale realized that the very nature of his regard had prevented him approaching her in the usual way. However, he knew that she had been conscious of his presence and on the last night Nadine had worn a cluster of his roses. During the winter Vale went to every variety theater in New York with the hope that he would again see the girl who haunted his thoughts. One day in early spring Vale started out for his Sunday morning walk. As he neared Forty-second street a fine rain began to fall. Rather than return to his apartments Vale decided to go up the two blocks and attend service at a Fifth avenue church. He took a seat near the back of the church. The only other occupant of the pew was a little old lady who, during the service, fumbled first with her chains and then with her rings until finally one of the latter rolled to the floor. Vale stooped to look for it. "It has escaped my reach," he whispered to her. "I will get it after service." During the offertory anthem a rich contralto voice floated out over the big church. Vale started. The voice was familiar yet not familiar; it held the same intense timber as the voice of Nadine, but these tones came forth with the control of a master. "From music hall to soloist in one of the best churches in the city is a big jump," thought Vale, "besides, it takes money to study for this kind of work." He strained his eyes to get a glimpse of the singer, but it was no use. The rows of girls on each side of the chancel seemed to be identical, one with the other. During the remainder of the service Robert Vale was back at the sea-side and dreaming of a girl who had sung in the guise of a glipsy. When the church was emptying he remembered his duty toward his companion in the pew. He must search for her ring. In the semi-darkness of the church it was not an easy task and Vale was down on his hands and knees in a far corner of the church when he heard a musical voice. "Granny—what in the world are you doing in this dark church—I thought you were lost!" "I dropped my ring. This gentleman—" Vale's head bobbed up from behind a seat, flushed but victorious. "Oh—h!" Diana Wells started; then, upon searching the man's face from beneath her wide drooping hat, a swift color mounted her cheeks. "My name is Robert Vale," he said quickly to cover the confusion which he knew was hers. He could never mistake those fathomless gray eyes, though them seemed even more dark and mysterious. He supposed it was the different setting. Her hair was deep Titian and the gipsy's had been inky black. "Here is your ring," he turned toward the little old woman. "Thank you," she said simply. "My name is Wells. This is my granddaughter, Diana." She looked lovingly at the girl. "Diana traveled all last summer with a variety company so she could take her old granny to the seaside." Diana met Vale's eyes with a smile. "Granny thinks I am a wonder because I took her to all the seaside resorts and gave myself equal pleasure." "Not to speak of those who heard you," put in Vale with a half inquiring glance. "You knew me then?" She hid from the expression in his eyes. "The roses were lovely," she said finally. "I asked the usher who had sent them." They turned and went slowly out of the church, but before they passed out through the big bronze doors Vale drew near Diana Wells. "If one of the choristers should be married in this church what would they do about filling her place for the wedding chorus?" "They would have to get a substitute soprano," said Diana Wells. "It would be a contralto in this case," confided Vale. Reading for the Sick. "And now a word about patients who may feel like reading," said the house physician to the nurse. "When they ask for something to read be sure to give them continued stories—always continued stories." "Is that wise?" she ventured to monstrate. "Won't the excitement over what is going to happen in the next number have a bad effect?" "No. Even if it does, it will be counteracted by the encouragement. Sick people have queer fancies. One of the queerest pertains to literature. Feed a patient's mind with nothing but short stories and he will certainly get into his head that he is going to die so soon that it isn't worth while to start him on a long one, and he will droop accordingly, but give him only yarns of the to-be-continued-in-our next variety and he will take it for granted that you expect him to get well so he can finish the story, and he will perk up amazingly. Just try it." The nurse did try it, and found that the doctor's theory was built on a sure foundation. Bright Idea a Success. Berlin has a shorthand writer with a unique specialty.

Any one who has the care of children knows how hard it is at times to get children to eat the food that is often necessary for their very existence. Diplomacy, tact and patience are needed to overcome the indifference of the child. There are many devices used by patient mothers and many simple ways which will appeal to the child. One little boy who was steadily losing ground because of a poor appetite, was left for a month with his fond aunt, who being an ingenious woman, studied the problem, and decided that the youngster must be made to eat, so she started a game, using two spoons in a saucer of breakfast food and rich cream, each trying to keep the other from getting a spoonful, she, of course, seeing that he ate the most of it. At the end of a month the patients returned to find a happy, rosy boy, eating because he wanted to, and enjoying his food. Another method has been tried and proven is to name pieces of bread and butter for friends and playmates. They become so interested in the game that the food is eaten before they realize it. One mother who had difficulty in teaching her child to take milk from a glass, overcame the difficulty by putting a transfer picture on the bottom, which he would be rewarded by seeing when he had drunk the contents of the glass. Pretty dishes, cutting food in the form of animals, and a story told will often help a meal to be taken happily. imagination is an essential in everybody's training, and a child often needs to have it developed. Food must appeal to the eye of the child as well as to the adult. A set of doll dishes used for a meal will often tempt a child to eat a large amount without realizing it. Some children with food are like those of older growth, "the good that would I do not, and the evil that I would not, that I do." HERE must be no stint of labor where it will tell for our neighbors' happiness, but no wasteful extravagance of it where it will not profit. -Phillips Brooks. PEACH POSSIBILITIES. There is no better fruit than the pipe, luscious peach; and fresh from the tree, full of its own flavor, it is inedible food for the gods. Being frugal housekeepers, we must of necessity look into the future and provide for the time when fresh peaches are not obtainable. We will can and pickle them, make jam and marmalade, and with the pits and peeling we will cook some green apples and make a most delectable jelly. Sliced, and sprinkled with sugar and served with cream, they will form many a dainty dessert. Peaches make a delicious ple. Bake crust and fill with sliced peaches; sweeten with sugar and pile on shipped cream. Serve chilled. Peach Canapes.—Saute circular pieces of sponge cake in butter until delicately browned. Place a half a peach which has been sprinkled with a little lemon juice on each. Pour over a little peach juice, fill the hollow in the peach with nut meats and serve. Peach Taploca.—Cook a cup of taploca in boiling water after soaking one hour, add peach juice to flavor, sweeten and salt to taste. Line a dish with quartered peaches, fill with taploca and bake thirty minutes. Serve with cream. Clave Tarts.—Bake crusts of puff paste in the form of cups, lay in a half of a ripe peach and in each cavity place a blanched almond. Peach baskets are made of paste and baked, then filled with sliced peaches. Baked Peaches.—Peel and cut in halves, remove the stones, fill each cavity with sugar, butter and a little lemon juice and nutmeg. Bake 20 minutes and serve on buttered toast. OT the things that happen to us, but the meaning which things that happen to us have for us, are the real facts of our existence. -Phillips Brooks. HOW TO PREVENT WASTE. To keep down expenses, prevent waste in food and conserve the strength of the housekeeper is the great problem of household economics. One of the best methods of preventing waste in food is to prepare only as much as will be eaten; this does not mean being niggardly, but simply thrifty. Wilted vegetables may be re- stored by soaking in cold water several hours. When opening a can of tomatoes, use the thin juice for soups and the tomatoes for an escalloped dish. Look over the ice box before planning a meal; often things most appetizing are forgotten. Wise planning and careful buying will aid in reducing expenses, but all left-overs must be used or the table expenses will be too high. Wash peaches before peeling and the skin may then be used with apples for jelly, giving the jelly a delicious peach flavor. A dainty little toasted cracker may be made from thinly sliced baking powder biscuit that have been toasted and buttered. Serve with orange marmalade and tea. To prevent the waste of energy in the housekeeper, plan to lie down it but for five minutes, completely relax, close the eyes and if the feet are tired and swollen, elevate them and the blood leaving them relieves the tired feeling. A hot bath and a brisk rub will do wonders to a tired body. In the cool of the day get the pastry all ready for the water, and set on ice, then when the pie is to be made a few moments will do the work. Watermelon rind makes delicious preserves and if cut in small cubes and preserved with ginger makes a most appetizing garnish for ice cream. Use a carpet sweeper instead of a broom on the rugs and carpets unless you are fortunate enough to have a vacuum cleaner. Wash a window now and then. Don't try to clean the whole house in one morning. M EN drink because they have a sinking feeling; good food EN drink because they have a slinking feeling. good food satisfies that craving permanently. - Adelaide Keen As a business, there is nothing derogatory in the preparation of our daily food, and the rewards are greater than in many walks of life. THE UNEXPECTED GUEST. It is not always possible even in a city to get things in a hurry, and the housekeeper who provides for the unforeseen need have no feverish moments when the unexpected guest arrives. She will have in the storeroom or closet a reserve for just such occasions, and when any is used it is supplied to fill the shelves for the next occasion. Potted meats and fish canned soups and choice glasses of jelly and preserves, pickles and olives, nuts, fruit cake and cookies are some of the useful supplies. A few cans of vegetables, like corn, tomatoes and string beans may be quickly turned into a salad or a hot dish with white sauce. Keep a list of the contents of the closet on the inside of the door, and beside it a list of dishes, with the number of the page where found in the recipe book. One cannot always rely on the memory unless the recipe is very familiar. Then, when in a hurry to prepare a meal a glance will show you your opportunities. A jar of malted milk will prove a treasure, as it will furnish a cup of hot, refreshing milk after a cold ride or before retiring. With the addition of a few fresh crackers it takes the place of an oyster stew. Very good soups are made by using the tablets of different flavors, and with cheese always on hand and a cup of coffee quickly made, a "hurry-up" meal is easily prepared. We wish our guests to feel that they are welcome, and there is no better way to prove it than by being a fresh, unruffled hostess. We have all no doubt been entertained where the first course was roasted hostess. A daintly server, appetizing meal quickly prepared should be an accomplishment of every woman. When things are wrong, are spilled or spilled, as will happen even in a trained housekeeper's kitchen, be resourceful; know how to adjust yourself to circumstances. Keep cool, and everybody will be happier and pronounce you a charming hostess. Nellie Maxwell. Willing to Help. "Why not join our settlement work!

EVIDENTLY SHE WAS ANNOYED Good Wife's Punishment, Intended for Husband, Poor Compensation to Revivalist. A popular revivalist had been holding services at a town in Mississippi when a heavy rain came on, and he accepted an invitation to pass the night at the house of one of the townsmen. Observing the preacher's drenched clothing, the host brought out a suit of his own and sent his guest upstairs to do it. The good man had made the change and was on his way back to the sitting room, when the woman of the house came out of another room, holding in her hands the big family Bible, out of which the minister was to be invited to read a chapter before the family went to bed. She was not, however, in a very amenable frame of mind, for careful housewives are likely to be put out of sorts by the advent of unexpected company. Seeing the revivalist in his borrowed garments, the mistook him for her husband, and as he passed in front of her she lifted the book and brought it down sharply on his head. "There!," she exclaimed. "Take that for asking him to stay all night!"—Lincolnott's Magazine. To Laugh at Tuberculosis. Much ignorance prevails among the unfortunate victims of tuberculosis and families of these unfortunate, according to the Los Angeles Herald. For such as these the words spoken by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled in imperishable granite. Or, better still, they should be published in every public point, viz: "There is no such thing as hereditary tuberculosis. The remedy is simple and all should know it. It is one of the most easily curable of all the chronic infectious diseases. You can cure consumption by the unstinted use of God's good fresh air, twenty-four hours in twenty-four, plenty of good food and plenty of good water, inside and out. You all know that cleanliness is next to godliness. Children should get all the fresh air possible. They should sleep and play in the open air. They should attend open-air schools." Held the Records. Two ladies seated at afternoon tea fell to discussing the prowess of their respective hubbles. After each had related several feats of endurance and hardihood, one of them remarked that her husband had on one occasion dived under the water and remained down for fully two minutes, without coming up to take breath. "Oh," said the other, "that is nothing. My first husband dived below the water five years ago, and has not yet come up to breathe." STRONGER THAN MEAT A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a judicial turn of mind from experience on the bench out in the Sunflower State writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts food. He says: "For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in our life of fare. "The crisp food with the delicious, nutty flavor has become an indispensable necessity in my family's everyday life. "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and wholesome food. Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect physical condition—as a preventive of disease it is beyond value. I have been particularly impressed by the beneficial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to its nutritive qualities, my experience is that one small dish of Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an important consideration for anyone. It satisfies the appetite and strengthens the power of resisting fatigue, while its use involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast."

That is genuine, true, and full of humor. LESSON TEXT.-Jeremiah 36. MEMORY VERSES, 23, 24. GOLDEN TEXT.-The word of our God shall stand forever."-Isa. 40:8. TIME.-Jeremiah was prophet from B. C. 626, the 13th year of Josiah, till the destruction of Jerusalem, B. C. 568. Jehoikim reigned 11 years, B. C. 608-567. Jeremiah's book was written B. C. 604. The Past day, ninth month of B. C. 663. Jehoikim burns the book soon after the fast. PLACE.-Jerusalem. The Temple courts and the king's palace. Nebuchadnezzar besieging Jerusalem, 1st year. Daniel carried away captive. Jeremiah under disfavor, Jeholakim an unwise king. For twenty years Jeremiah had been trying, by oral teachings, to persuade the nation to repent and turn to God, but the people and their rulers had been deaf to his warrings. As a last resort, in the fourth year of Jeholakim, the Lord commanded the prophet to write down the substance of his exhortations, and thus to focus them in one mighty blow upon the consciences of king and people. Moreover, for some reason Jeremiah was shut up, "restrained" from public utterance, being probably forbidden by the authorities to preach; so that for the time the written word was the only way by which Jeremiah could reach the ears of the people. The chosen amanuensis was Baruch, the son of Neriah, a scribe. The book was not like ours, but was a roll of parchment, consisting of several skins sewed together, the edges cut even, and the whole rolled on wooden rods fastened at each end so that the parchment could be rolled from one to the other. The writing was arranged in columns, each like the page of a book. It must have taken Baruch some months to have written down such prophecies as Jeremiah wished to have read, and which constituted a considerable part of the present book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah sent Baruch to the temple to read the book to the assembled crowds. It was a wintry day. Baruch went up into the chamber of a friendly noble, over a new gateway opening both ways into the inner and outer courts. There, from the window or balcony of the chamber, or from the platform or pillar on which the kings had stood on solemn occasions, he recited the long alternation of lament and invective to the vast congregation. Reading in this way was almost the only way by which the people could become acquainted with the word of God. Few could read. And copies of the law cost a small fortune. The king sent Jehudi, one of his officers, to fetch the roll so that Jehoiakim might learn its contents at first hand and not from hearsay. The king sat in the winter house. It seems probable that after Jehudi had read three or four columns, the king snatched the roll from his hands and, taking the knife used for sharpening the scribe's pens, cut up the roll himself, and cast it into the fire. Some think that only the first portion was read, when all the roll was consumed in the fire. But Professor Bennett says that the Hebrew implies that at the end of every three or four columns the king put out his hand for the roll, cut away the portion read, threw it on the fire, and handed the remainder back to Jehudi, repeating the process. The king commanded the arrest of Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah. But the Lord hid them, by means of some unknown providence and guidance; or, as usual, by the use of means inspired by God. Shutting the eyes does not ward off the lightning's stroke. Fools, that think that by wringing the neck of the crowing cock they can prevent the coming of the morning. When the word of the Lord came the book was destroyed, but its contents and its truths lived. "Take them . . . another roll, and write in it." Jeremiah knew what he had before, and God gave him further revelations. Professor Brown thinks that Baruch's second roll contained the first seventeen chapters of our Jeremiah. "Thou shalt say to Jehoiakim that the prophecies should certainly come true." Attempts to destroy the Bible have been made. When men are forbidden to read it, and everything is done to prevent its circulation. The frontpiece of Wycliffe's Bible represents the fire of true Christianity against which its enemies, Satan and infidelity, are blowing with all their might, trying to put it out; but the more they put themselves out of breath, the more brightly the fire burns. Ingersoll's prophecy, twenty-six years ago, was that "In ten years the Bible will not be read." The fact is that vastly more Bibles are issued every year than when that prophecy was uttered and in more languages. Those destroy the Bible for some people, who for any reason give the impression that it is not true, diminish its authority, and fill the minds of the young with doubts. And yet every attack has made it read more, and caused it to shine in purer light. Those who disobey and neglect the Bible, refuse to let it be a lamp unto their feet and a light unto their path who ignore its teachings, and reruse its truths—these destroy the Bible for themselves. But the laws of God move on just the same. Jehoakim was slain. His son was carried in chains to Babylon. Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs. Use "LA CREOLE" HAIR DRESSING.

New Orleans, La.—"For years I suffered from severe female troubles. Finally I was confined to my bed and the doctor said an operation was necessary. I gave Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial first, and was saved from an operation."—Mrs. LILY PEYROUX, 1111 Kerlerec St., New Orleans, La. The great volume of unsolicited testimony constantly pouring in proves conclusively that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a remarkable remedy for those distressing feminine lils from which so many women suffer. An Undefinable Definition. A few days after school opened in the spring a teacher in a Brooklyn school was testing the members of one of her old classes on what they had remembered of the definitions she had taught them during the preceding term. Finally she asked the bright boy of the class this question: "Now, Robert, tell me what a hypocrite is?" "A hypocrite," replied Robert without hesitation, "is a k!l' walt comes to school wilt' a smile on his mug." Distressing. "Here is the account of a poor woman who lost both arms in a railroad wreck." "It must be dreadful to go through life without any arms." "Yes, indeed. And much worse for a woman than for a man." "How is that?" "Well, a woman without any arms can't reach around to feel if the back of her collar and the back of her belt are all right." "Could you do someth'g for a poor old sailor?" asked the seedy-looking wanderer at the gate. "Poor old sailor," echoed the lady at work at the tub. "Yes'm, I follored the wotter for 16 years." "Well," said the woman, after a critical look, "you certainly don't look as if you ever caught up with it." Then she resumed her labors. Merely a Temporary Disadvantage. The widow had just announced her engagement. "But, my dear Maria," said her friend, "you don't mean to tell me that you intend marrying a man you've only known for two weeks?" "Oh, yes," said the happy widow. "I can easily overcome that objection in time. I hope to know him tolerably well after we have been married a couple of years."—Harper's Weekly.

A young couple had been courting for several years and the young man seemed to be in no hurry to marry. Finally, one day, he said: "Sal, I canna marry thee." "How's that?" asked she. "I've changed my mind," said he. "Well, I'll tell thee what we'll do," said she. "If folks know that it's thee as has given me up I shanna be able to get another chap; but if they think I've given thee up I can get all I want. So we'll have banns published and when the wedding day comes the parson will say to thee: 'Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?' and thou must say: 'I will.' And when he says to me: 'Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?' I shall say: 'I wilna.' The day came, and when the minister asked the important question the man answered: "I will." Then the parson said to the woman: "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?" and she said: "I will." "Why," said the young man furiously, "you said you would say 'I winna.'" "I know that," said the young woman, "but I've changed my mind since."—Mack's National Monthly. J. PIEREPONT. NO DOUBT.

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK "My troubles began along in the summer in the hottest weather and took the form of small eruptions and itching and a kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. "I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was in eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies are the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them." (Signed) W. A.

Dying by Organs. It has been discovered that if a human being dies after an ordinary illness and not a violent death he does not die all over and all at once. He may have a diseased liver, heart or lung, and this may be the cause of his death; but it has been found that if the diseased organ could have been replaced by a healthy one life might have been maintained indefinitely. This is no imagination or speculation. It has been confirmed by the most careful experiments by the ablest medical scientists in the country.-Leslie's Weekly. Unexpected.

Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the town in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go to search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns, we combine it with a surprising count of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they catch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Plans' book—Ladies' Pictorial When Tower Loomed It was while Charlemagne Tower was ambassador to Russia that a New York city newspaper "spread itself" upon a fete held at St. Petersburg. A green copy-reader produced this result: "As pleasing to the eye as was all this decoration there was additional pleasure in the sight, as one stood at the head of the Prospekt Nevska, of Charlemagne Tower, brilliantly illuminated, looming grand and imposing against the winter sky."—Success Magazine. --- ```markdown ``` The government is going to lav molasses road in Massachusetts.

Market St., Wichita IF IT EVER HAPAENED YOU WILL FIND IT IN THE SEARCHLIGHT JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING. Would-Be Suicide Not Completely Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry themselves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale, countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. There would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. The Worm. "I insist upon an allowance of $500 a month—not a penny less!" he cried. "Absurd! That's more than I pay my cook," she retorted with curling tip. "Then get your cook to dance attendance at all manner of boredome affairs; to give you the face to do that an unmarried woman never dances 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 dared out defiantly. She perceived that the worm had turned. "Hush!" she implored, and掩被 for her checkbook—Buck. The Quaint Belluga. Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and vernality—and preserve only the spawls of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender 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 they are today. Their ralment, as compared with the darnfoolishness of woman, hasn't always been above reproach. Consider, if you will, the days when our respected forefathers would draw on their lavender-colored pants with a shoe horn, using a little slippery powder, maybe, to help things along, until people looked at their feet and wondered if the pants hadn't been sewed up after the feet got through Consider their tight boots—made so tight that they caused the most excreciating agony. And remember that the dandles of that day would carefully polish these burning, blasting, pinching, agonizing boots and then step carefully with the toes in a mud puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. O, yes, they did it. And of course you know that a bootjack wasn't used merely because the boots might soil the hands, but because nobody had invented a stump-puller in those days and applied it to the removal of tight boots. And remember the bell-crowned hats, and the dingbats and jimcracks they hung on their watch fobs. And the fancy waistcoats and the frilled shirts. And going even further back, consider what historical drawings give us of information as to ancient dress—the knee breeches with gorgeous rosettes—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 bespowdered and becurled wigs when you rave at rats on women's heads and repent of your scoffing words. Face powder? Perfumes and scents? Sure they had 'em. Patches on their complexion—yes, and rouge. They sure were pretty men those days. And going back to the Indian—think of his war paint, of his gaudy blanket, his stained arrows, his painted pony, his bear-rolled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so pretty now. Only he really hadn't ougher scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese hair switches and things. He really hadn't ougher. As a Buncher. We is one of the most bothersome words in the language. It is responsible for more misunderstandings than any other ten words put together. An editor will start out conscientiously to give his opinions. He will begin by saying "We think," meaning himself. A latter later he will say "we," meaning his advertisers. A few lines farther down he will use the word again, meaning the class of people who read his paper. Then his heart will soften and expand. He will become eloquent with the use of "we," meaning the whole community or the entire human race. Then suddenly he will bethink himself and reflect that his is a party organ and "we," the party, is paramount after all. Whereupon he will divest himself of opinions in which the people at large have no interest, or at least no profit. All this is very confusing. The unsuspecting reader struggles along trying in vain to separate the we-goats from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's exactly what the editor is striving for, and sometimes he is the most confused of all. We was invented to conceal thought. —Life. Kalser's Insult to a Courtier An incident very reminiscent of such pettiness was told to Tip the other day by an American just returned from Berlin. It seems one of the Kaiser's suite, a noble of high rank, had incurred the imperial displeasure. The Kaiser did not wish to lose this gentleman's services, but apparently desired to humiliate him for the real or fancied offense. At one of the state dinners shortly afterward, the noble was seated half a dozen places from his ruler. Besides him sat a woman of title, whom he had known from the time both could walk. The two conversed animatedly, Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned forward and exclaimed in a harsh voice: "Prince, it is not etiquette to flirt at my table." The man thus addressed rose to his feet and bowed low. The next day he resigned and retired to his country estate, although it is well known he received a personal letter of apology from Wilhelm II. Not to Be Fooled. Proudly young Tomkins displayed the sights of London to his uncle, fresh from the verdant country. They visited St. Paul and the Embankment and the National Gallery and all the places they could get in free, and, as an especial treat, they visited a music hall, where a trombone solo was in progress when they entered. With rapt attention the old man watched the instrumentalist's facial contortions. At the close the audience applauded thunderously, but the old man sat mute. "Well," said young Tomkins, "didn't you like it?" "Verra good, verra good, no doubt," nodded the old man, "but we country folk canna be taken in so easy as all that; I knew all the time he wasn't swallowin' of 01!"—Answer House For Sale FOR SALE: Nice four 1room Cottage on Wichita FOR SALE: St; on easy payments.

"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 nor a triple of a marcel wave. Higher education was writ 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. "Exuse me, mum," she ventured tidily, 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." "Mercy1" ejaculated the woman out of place. Then she "spotted." 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 tough 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 not 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 men stud, the genuine carefully, and then will be no trouble in detecting the id notes—National Magazine. REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE Proud Owners of Pets, Listen to Thin from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can kick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery at the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his pipe. He calls for his fiddlers three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room."
