Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT FOURTEENTH YEAR NEGROES H SINCE Through A Centur Have Now Ancestor's We have seen how they performed the hard tasks assigned them by their masters: following the hoe and the plow with laugh and a swing; making magnificent estates, building mansions, furnishing them with the splendor of the times, so eager in patriotism as to be the first to shed their blood on the altar of their country's liberty. All this they did with no other hope of reward than a slave's cabin and a life of bondage for themselves & children. Scarcely have they ever sought revenge in riot or blood-shed. Stolen from a home of savage freedom they found themselves in strait circumstances as slaves in America, but the greatness of the Negroe's nature crops out plainly in the wonderful way in which he adopted himself to his new conditions. The fact is that he went to work willingly, worked so long and faithfully, and rebelled so little, marks him as far superior to the Indian, who never accept the conditions of labor, either for himself or another; and universsally enjoys the rank of savage rather than that of a civilized being. A plant placed in a window of a dark chamber gratually bends its foliage thwarts the sunlight; so the Negro, surrounded by the darkness of slavery, bent his life toward the light of his Master's God He found him. In Him he trusted to Him he prayed, from Him he hoped for deliverance: no people were ever more devout according to their knowledge of the word, no people ever suffered persecution more bravely, no people ever got more out of a few talents assigned them; and for this humble devotion, this implicit trust and faith fulness, God has now rewarded them. The race comes out of slavery with more than it had before it went in. When The War Ended The whole South was in an unsettled condition - property destroyed, thousands of her sons dead on the battle fields, and no credit conquered. But if the con- pition of the whites was bad the bad that of the blacks was worse They were with out homes money, or learning. They Were now to feed, clothe, and protect them selves in a government whose treasury they had enriched with two centuries and a half of un-requited labor, and a country whose laws they must obey but could not read. But this condition did not last the Negro inherited the ability to work from the institution of slaqery. He soon sit about to utilize this ability. 'I ask what race could have done more?' and this the Negro has done, though virtually ostraced from the avenues of trade and speculation, His admission to a trades union is the exception rather than the tule in America. A colored boy taking a place as porter in a store at the same time with a white boy, may find the white boy promote to a clerkship, then to a partnership in the firm, if he is smart; but the colored boy remains, year attet year where he first commenced, no matter how worthy, no matter how competent. His lot is that of a menial custom assigns him there, and in looking for clerks the partners he is not thought of by the white business man; and thus, by the rigid laws of a custom, he has continually lost opportunities of forge his fortime yet he has prospered in spite of this, and it bespeaks for him a superior manhood. Up to the present time the Negro has been a success in every avenue of life as a soldier and a citizen he has always been faith to his country's flag; as a policician, he has filled successfully many honorable positions, from that of a Town Constable to the Registry of Treasury of United States; he has been a legislator, a senator, a shrewd business man and won honor, respect and the confidence in every such position Every sort of hindrance has been thrown in his way, but he is overcoming them all, and daily SATURDAY, OCTOBER, 28 1911. Attorny. Successful ducts De Murde Attorny. Blakemore Successfully Conducts Defense In Murder Case Last August Attorney E. P. Blakemore who at that time had but just located at Wichita, was engaged by one John Price and Ernest Haynes, charged with the murder of one Dave Lawson, as counsel to defend their cause. Attorney Blakemore after reviewing the evidence and finding its insufficiency to support the charges aaginst Ernest Hayes, immediately moved the court on a writ of habeas corpus to release him and Ernest Haynes was set free. This alone would mark Attorney Blakemore as a painstaking lawyer, for be it said that not a penny had then or has since been paid him by this defendant for his services. Atty. E. Blakemore, At the preliminary hearing the other defendant was bound over to the district court. The hearing began on Thursday, the 19th inst., and ended on the 24th inst., resulting in an acquittal of the defendant. The defense was an alibi. The state sought hard to connect the deefndant with the crime, which, according to the evidence had doubtless been committed, but when Attorney Blakemore cross examined witnesses for the state it was easy to see how the prosecution weakened under his rigorous and painstaking examination. In producing the evidence in support of the alibi the defense strengthened and when after an address eloquent, forceful and pitilessly logical the county attorney replied in a somewhat ineffective manner, the jury retired and after an hour's deliberation returned a verdict of 'N'ot guilty." The court was literaly crowded with members of the race, the common opinion of many being that a negro lawyer could not succeed in such a matter, but this case is one of the many which should assure our people that where there is legal ability, dignity and culture in evidence, they make winning friends from the ranks of those most opposed to his progress. Time is yet to bring forth better things for the race. Let there be patience, and honest, persistent endeavor to do the very best in everything, and ere long we shall, "Reap if we faint not." We shall rise, not by dragging others down, but by encouraging those who are up to extend down to us the helping hand, which we must quickly grasp and by its help lift ourselves up.

Dear Searchlight—When I received my paper this morning I was surprised to see the head lines announcing the death of my dear friend and brother. I cannot find words to express my heartfelt sympathy to his dear family and paper, as I know he struggled hard to keep the paper alive, for when I lived in your city many a paper started, but only to die, but the Searchlight came here fifteen yaers ago. He worked hard, night and day, loss of sleep and worry and trials of hardships so we might have a living journal. Hoping that it may live on, and to his dear family our blessed Master knows best why he takes our dear ones but He giveth and taketh away. Blessed be His Holy name. As ever a friend to the Searchlight and Journal, I remain respectfully, S. J. BELLESEN. 411 Rondo St., St. Paul, Minn. Mock Re-call Election Recall Election of Y. M. C. A. officeers at the Y. M. C.

Letter, Sprung Unexpectedly, Compels Admission That He Did Send for Senator Holstlaw. Chicago, Illinois.—Despite all his previous assertions to the contrary, State Senator John Broderick of Chicago, on the witness stand before the committee of United States senators investigating the Lorimer case here, was forced to admit that he sent for former State Senator D. W. Holstlaw of Juka following the election of Senator Lorimer in 1909. Brodrick's admission came after Attorney Healy, of counsel for the committee, unexpectedly produced a letter from Broderick to Holstlaw, in which Broderick asked the Iuka man to meet him in Chicago August 28, 1909. Holstlaw, in a confession made in the summer of 1910, said he was paid $2,500 by Broderick for Holstlaw's vote for Lorimer. Holstlaw declared that this payment was made in Chicago after Broderick had written him to come to Chicago. Broderick not only denied that he had made such a payment, but insisted until the present time that he never had sent for Holstlaw. The Chicago senator said that Holstlaw just happened to "drop in" while on a business trip to Chicago. Counsel for the senatorial committee said that Broderick's admission, in their opinion, was the most important development in the hearings in Chicago. GERMAN QUICKLY AMERICANIZED Boy Just Arrived Stops at Best Hotels, Forges Checks and Buys Horses on Hot Air. Muskogee, Ok—Herman Stettmeyer, a german, 16 years old, is in jail here a victim of "get rich Wallingford" stories and insufficient knowledge of American business methods. Stettmeyer has no money, but he came to Muskogee, stopped at an expensive hotel, gave forged checks for his hotel bills besides giving a bad check for $2,000 worth of horses which he purposed to place on his ranch in Texas. It is believed the boy is mentally incompetent and as only small checks were cashed it is not likely he will be prosecuted. CAR TICKETS FOR ST. JOSEPH Police to Aid Company in Enforcing Rules Since New Books Are Issued. St. Joseph, Missouri.—The announcement by the street railway officials that the sale of books of reduced rate tickets would be resumed was accompanied by orders to policemen to arrest every person who offered a ticket for sale or who refused to abide by the company's rule holding tickets void if not detached in the presence of conductors. Jury Blames Railroad. Omaha, Nebraska.—The verdict of the coroner's jury which investigated the wreck of the Missouri Pacific train recently at Fort Crook, by which eight lives were last, places the responsibility upon the railroad company for not furnishing sufficient safeguards as well as upon the freight train crew for failure to properly inspect the train register at South Omaha. Wichita Women Hissed Stubbs Wichita, Kansas.—Gov. W. R. Stubbs was hissed here because of remarks in a brief talk to the delegates to the convention of the Woman's Home Missionary society, now in session in this city.

Find Robbers' Coin in Creek Springfield, Missouri.—News of the discovery by John Aspbell, on his farm between Aldrich and Dadeville, of $500 in silver along a creek bed has set the people of that section wild with excitement and hundreds of persons spent the day digging vigorously with a hope that they would find more of what is believed to be a part of $3,500 that was taken four years ago by two highwaymen who robbed the bank of Aldrich.

Farmers Are Warned to Burn Diseased Carcasses—Being Used by Soap Factory. Topeka, Kansas.—J. H. Mercer, state live stock sanitary commissioner, is making an investigation into the widespread epidemic of hog cholera to determine how the disease is carried from one farm to another, long distances apart. Kansas now has the most serious outbreak of the disease the state has ever known, and it is estimated by the live stock department that more than $1,000,000 has been lost this fall through the disease. The agricultural college serum plant is unable to supply the demand. It is believed that the disease is carried by birds, and if this is the case the farmers themselves are to blame for the spread of the cholera. Mr. Mercer is making his investigations preparatory to making a set of regulations that are expected to be a great help in preventing the spread of cholera over the entire state as it is at present. Er. O. O. Wolf, a member of the state veterinary board, has sent out a warning to the farmers throughout the state urging that all cholera hogs be burned or buried to prevent birds getting at their bodies and carrying the disease to other hog lots. An outbreak of the disease at LeLoup has wiped out five herds of hogs, and this was caused by the dropping of some litter from a car load of dead hogs being shipped to a Kansas City soap factory.

BREWERS' CONGRESS GOT SHOCK Chicago, Illinois.—The second international Brewers' Congress received a shock at the closing banquet when one of their own members attacked breweries. The speaker was H.Hamilton, president of the Houston Brewing company of Houston, Texas. He had heard a resolution submitted for adoption reading: "Resolved, That public drinking places which are the haunts of vice are dangerous and should be eliminated." "What is the use of adopting resolutions like these when it is well known that most of the improper places in large cities are in some way owned or controlled by breweries? The anti-liquor interests take these facts and made capital of them as they justly should. A few years ago it was this way in Texas, but we cut ourselves off from such institutions and we won our way back." His remarks were received in silence and the resolutions adopted without further comment. MANCHUS ARE SLAUGHTERED All Towns Except One or Two Large Cities in Hands of Rebels. Shanghai, China.—The whole Yangtse Valley from Hankow to Shanghai is ablaze with rebellion according to refugees who have arrived. The refugees, mostly foreigners employed in tea factories, iron works and on railroads, say that all the towns are in the hands of the rebels with the exception of one or two of the larger cities to which provincial officials have retreated with their available troops. Accounts of the revolutionary attack on Wu-Chang as given by the refugees emphasize particularly the massacre of the Manchu in that city. In the slaughter near there neither age nor sex was regarded and it is doubtful, the refugees say, whether a single representative of the Manchu race was left alive in the city. Similar slaughter of the Manchu followed in Hankow and Han-Yang when these cities fell. Time Limit Set For Hair Cuts Time Limit Set For Hair Cuts. San Francisco, Cal.-Short hair has been made the distinguishing mark of the Chinese revolutionists, according to a message from Hankow. The revolutionary government has given the inhabitants of Hankow and Wu Chang until October 22 to cut off their queues.

Every town within a radius of 100 miles of Kansas City has been notified of the escape. La Trasse is one of the most desperate criminals ever confined in the jail in Kansas City, Kan. Two weeks ago his cell was searched and a saw and revolver were found. He has served a term of five years in the Missouri penitentiary at Jefferson City. He is wanted in Chicago for complicity in the murder of a saloon keeper and in St. Joseph, Mo., where he escaped from jail. FIRE DESTROYS COUNTY SEAT Cabool, Missouri, Almost Wiped Out by Blaze of Unknown Springfield, Missouri—Fire at Cabool, county seat of Texas county, destroyed practically the entire business district. The origin is unknown. The loss is estimated at $65,000 partly insured. Fourteen buildings, including the Bank of *Cabool, were burned to the ground. Other adjoining buildings and residences were badly damaged. The fire was first discovered in the Roberts Mercantile store at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Lang seized the guard's carbine and escaped on his horse. J. D. Avery of Shelburne Falls is surely the king of oxen in this part of the country. At the Brattleboro fair recently he has had the most wonderful exhibit of oxen, and in all the tests of strength for pulling heavy boatloads of stone his oxen have cleaned the decks. One of the secrets in these tests is the way the oxen are managed and driven. Mr. Avery does his own driving and is a master at the business. The other day again, as the day before, he cleared everything before him in the ox pulling ring by taking all three prizes in the free for all class and first and second in the 3,500 class. The load drawn in the 3,500 class was about 9,106, while the veteran ox man made an exhibition pull of nine feet in the free for all class with a fancy pair of Devons with a load of 10,238, which is the biggest load drawn at Brattleboro since he pulled over 11,000 with his famous pair of Holstein—Hampshire Gazette.

Standard Oil Company (Incorporated) FRONTIER HERO Reminiscences of Wild Bill" Hickok by his old Friend Buffalo Bill BY WALTER NOBLE BURNS. (Copyright, 1911, by W. G. Chapman.) ILD BILL was the greatest gun fighter the west ever knew. I don't know how many men he killed, but it was more than thirty. That number is exclusive of the men he killed in the Civil war. He is credited as a sharpshooter with having killed 35 men, including the Confederate General McCullough, in the battle of Pea Ridge alone. I don't know how true that is. It is impossible for anyone to tell how many men he kills in a battle when thousands of men are fir- W ing. But he killed more than thirty in personal encounters. He killed ten in one fight single handed. That was when he wiped out the McCandlass gang at Rock Springs, Kan., in 1861, and it was the most heroic single-handed fight in all the history of the frontier. Imagination has not colored or enlarged his record. It is a sure-enough record of men killed in fair, stand-up fights. If one cares to search, one can find their graves with their names neatly carved on little headstones scattered from the Missouri river to the foothills of the Rockies." Col. William F. Cody, better known all over the world as Buffalo Bill, was in reminiscent mood. He paid this tribute to the prowess of his dead comrade of early days on the plains. He was intimately associated with Wild Bill. He fought by his side in the Civil war, he scouted with him in the Indian campaigns, he shared the same blanket beside many a lonely camp fire. For years there was a bed and a chair and the table for Wild Bill at the ranch of Buffalo Bill's mother near Fort Leavenworth, and to the very end of his stormy and wandering career Wild Bill thought of this spot as home. Buffalo Bill is himself one of the most picturesque characters of the old west left to these pling, prosaic times. Though the public knows him chiefly as a showman, he is the last of the great scouts. His life has not been all blank cartridges and calcium lights. Back of his spectacular career as an exponent of wild west drama is a frontier life of daring, hardship and danger. He is an old man now, only a few years on the sunny side of three score and ten. His sweeping mustaches and imperial and his long hair that falls upon his shoulders in the waving abundance of early years are as white as snow. But his tall figure is still stalwart and as straight as a young pine on the mountains, his step is elastic and his eye bright, and he still wears his white sombrero tilted at a jaunty angle on the side of his head as in the brave days of his youth. "I was eleven years old when I first met Wild Bill in 1857," said Buffalo Bill. "I was making my first expedition across the plains. It was the expedition led by General Albert Sydney Johnston, afterwards killed at Shiloh, against Brigham Young and the Mormons in Utah. I was connected with the supply train as the driver of the extra cattle. A big bully in my mess seemed to think I was meant to be his servant and ordered me around at every opportunity. I grew sulky and resentful under his badgering, but I was a mere kid and was helpless. One evening as we were eating supper he ordered me to get him another cup of coffee. 'Get your own coffee,' I said. He reached over from where he sat and slapped me over. I rolled into the ashes at the edge of the camp fire and narrowly escaped getting badly burned. I ran to the big coffee kettle, caught it up, and stepping up behind the bully, doused the scalding coffee over him from head to foot. He roared with pain. Then he rushed for me. A young man stepped between us. I knew him casually as Jim Hickok. The men of the wagon train called him 'Jimmy.' 'Say,' he said, facing the bully squarely, 'you leave that kid alone.' "My unexpected champion was about twenty years old, tall, slender, bronzed and athletic looking. The powerful brute he confronted would have made two of him. The bully stopped in surprise. He sized up the stripling with a glance. The inventory doubtless convinced him he had nothing to fear. "What have you got to do with this?" he bellowed and he charged at the youth like a mad bull. The men of the outfit expected to see Hickok beaten to a jelly or killed. He gave us the surprise of our lives. He proved to be the quickest man I ever saw. A catamount could not have been quicker. He stepped into the bully fearlessly. He was all over his man. He rocked his head with terrific blows. He ripped punches into his midsection. He closed his eyes, bloodied his lips, knocked the teeth down his throat. He ended by dropping the bully to his knees and making him blubber out. I've got enough' and beg for mercy. After the fight my ancient enemy was the worst battered up man I ever saw. Hickok didn't show a mark. He walked away and sat down on a wagon tongue and smoked a pipe serenely. That was my introduction to the man afterward known all over the west as Wild Bill, and from that day we were fast friends. I enlisted in the Union army in 1863 and was sent to Tennessee. I was employed as a scout and spy. I was peculiarly fitted to play the part of spy in Confederate camps. Most of the people with whom I had been thrown all my life on the plains were from Missouri, Kentucky or Tennessee. It was second nature for me to talk in the drawling lingo of the south. "On one of my excursions as a spy I was disguised as a Tennessee farmer boy with a ragged hat, a homespun shirt and pants of butternut jeans. I was riding along a road when I came to a farm house. Hitched to the palings of the fence was a fine horse, saddled. Through a window I saw a man in the uniform of a Confederate officer sitting at a table eating. Something about his face looked familiar. I dismounted and stepped to the door of the house and asked for a drink of water. As I W. F. CODY (BUFFALO BILL) street Bill's partner w with him. As Bill started shoot, his partner stepped the line of fire. Bill kill him accidentally, fired ov was drinking I took a good look at the man. It was Wild Bill. He shot a quick glance at me. But I had grown since he last saw me and in my disguise he did not recognize me. I waited till he had finished his meal and followed him to the road. As he prepared to mount his horse I stepped close and said in a low tone, 'Bill, don't you remember me?' I thought I saw a gleam of recognition in his eyes, but he said simply, 'No, I don't.' 'I'm Billy Cody,' I said, 'Well, well,' returned Wild Bill, 'are you little Billy Cody?' "Then he gave me a dressing down. 'You haven't any business in this part of the country,' he said, 'You ought to be in the Union army.' 'How do you know I'm not?' I asked. 'You in the Union army?' he said. 'Maybe I am,' I answered. 'What are you doing in those clothes, then?' he asked. 'I suspect I'm doing the same as you,' I replied. Bill smiled. 'Get on your horse,' he said. And we rode together back into the Union lines. For the remainder of the war we did much scouting together in Missouri and the southwest. "When I joined General Sheridan as chief of scouts in the campaign against the Indians, of the northwest in 1868 I found Wild Bill with the command. I went to General Sheridan and 'General', I said, 'Wild Bill is the best scout, the best shot and the bravest man in the western country. He is seven or eight years older than I and I have always looked upon him as my superior in everything that goes to the making of a plainsman. I don't like to give orders to such a man. I would rather serve under him. Make him chief of scouts.' "'Well, I won't,' said General Sheridan. 'You are chief of scouts of the United States army. When you get ready to give Wild Bill an order, give it.' "I went to Wild Bill and told him how I felt about the situation and what the general had said." "Why, that's all right, Billy.' Wild Bill said. 'I'm a soldier and I'll take orders from anyone who has the right to give me orders. I'd just as lief work-under you as anybody I know. I will obey you as my ranking officer as readily as I'd obey the commanding general of the United States army.' "And he did. He did fine work under me through that stirring campaign. He held in check that turbulent spirit that brooked dictation from no one and obeyed my orders like the soldier that he was. "I first entered the show business in 1872," Buffalo Bill continued. "General Sheridan had been ordered to Chicago to take command of the Department of the Lakes and I went with him as inspector of horses. Ned Buntline, whom I had known out west, had written a drama of the border named 'Scouts of the Plains.' He offered me $500 a week to take the leading role. I hesitated to ask General Sheridan for permission for fear he would laugh at me and perhaps refuse. I finally got Col. Mike Sheridan, his brother, to prefer my request. It was granted readily. "The drama was produced in Nixon's ample theater, which used to stand near the site of the modern Hotel Sherman. On the opening night when I was to make my bow before the footlights for the first time the immense theater was packed to the walls. General Sherdan and all the officers of the post occupied boxes in all the glory of full-dress uniforms. I was worse scared as I stepped out of the wings and faced that great audience than I ever was in an Indian fight with bullets and arrows singing about my ears. But I carried it off as bravely as I could. What I didn't know about acting I made up for by strutting about the stage, storming out my lines and firing my navy revolvers after every other sentence. There was an amazing amount of gunpowder burned in that play. After it was all over I imagined I had scored a triumph. Next day the Chicago papers said the play was so bad it was good. But we packed the theater nightly and the reserve police had to be called out to quiet the crowds that fought at the doors for admission. "The management offered me $1,000 a week to go to St. Louis, where our success was repeated. "I decided at the opening of the next season that it would be a money-making scheme to have Wild Bill as a member of our troupe. He was then in Hays City, where he had killed several people, and I wrote him telling him of the money he could make by appearing on the stage. 'You won't have to do much acting.' I told him. 'You will only have to shoot and pose around.' He wrote back that he would accept my proposition. I wrote him he would have to agree to stop fighting and killing while he was with the show. He sent me an agreement to that effect by return mall. Then I sent him money to come to New York, where the show was to open. In this last letter I gave him instructions as to what he must do when he reached the city. "I am stopping at the Brevoort hotel," I wrote him, 'and you will land in New York at the Forty-second street depot. To avoid getting lost in the big city, take a cab at the denot and you will be driven to the hotel in W. S. "WILD BILL" HICKOK a few minutes. Pay the cabman $2. These New York cabmen are regular hold-up men and your driver may want to charge you more, but don't pay him any more than $2 under any circumstances." "I was glad Wild Bill was coming. I hadn't seen my old pal for a long time, and I looked forward with pleasure to meeting him again. I told everybody about the Brevoort hotel that Wild Bill was coming and in the evenings as I sat about the lobby I recounted some of his wonderful fights and adventures. I wanted Wild Bill to feel easy as soon as he arrived at the hotel, and I told the propletor if I didn't happen to be around to welcome Bill and make him feel at home. "Wild Bill arrived in New York on schedule time. He had my last letter in his pocket and had committed to memory my instructions as to what he should do. As soon as his train arrived he stepped into a cab and ordered the cabman to drive him to the Brevoort house. When the cab drew up in front of the hotel and Bill stepped out he handed the driver a $2 bill. He was bent upon following my instructions to the last detail. "Here's your pay,' he said. "Pay nothin',' said the jehu. 'My charge is $5.' "Well, $2 is all you're going to get,' said Wild Bill. "Well, Rube, I'll just take the rest out o' your hide," said the irate cabman, and he leaped from his box and made at Wild Bill. Wild Bill punched him around the sidewalk unmercifully and wound up by knocking him under his cab horses, where he lay unconscious until pulled out by onlookers. Wild Bill walked quietly into the hotel. The proprietor, who had witnessed the fight, came running up to my room where I was having a nap and thumped at my door. "Say, Mr. Cody," he shouted, "I guess that gentleman you have been expecting has arrived." "Wild Bill was a bad actor most anywhere, but he was an especially bad actor on the stage. Jack Omohundro, known as Texas Jack, was with the show, and when the curtain fell at the close of the first act he and I and Wild Bill were supposed to stand out near the front of the stage clasping rescued maidens to our breasts in the white glare of the calcium. But Wild Bill was never out there where he belonged. He invariably hung back in the shadows at the rear or remained half-hidden behind a painted tree or rock. He was a poor hand to pose or show off and hated to have a lot of people staring at him. One night when the spot light found him leaning against a gnarled oak in the background it made him mad, and he took a shot at the spot-light machine in the central aisle of the balcony, shattered the bull's eye and broke the machine. The play had to go on to the end without the usual calcium effects. "Wild Bill remained with the show three or four months. By that time he had demonstrated that he was impossible as a member of a traveling theatrical company. I tried to make him do better, but I couldn't do anything with him and he was released. He was glad of it and turned toward the west with a light heart. "A little while before Bill joined the show he had killed Phil, Cole, a wealthy Texas cattleman of Abilene, Kan. Bill was marshal of Abilene, and Cole, who was a desperado himself, had threatened to kill him just to show the frontier he could do it. They met on the street Bill's partner was with him. As Bill started to shoot, his partner stepped in the line of fire. Bill killed him accidentally, fired over his body and killed Cole with his second bullet. Cole's brother and a number of his cowboy friends came up to Abilene from Texas to avenge his death. They found that Bill had gone east to become an actor. They boasted about Abilene that they had come to kill Bill and he had been scared and had run away. Bill heard of this talk and as soon as he left the show he started for Cheyenne by way of Abilene. He sent word to the Kansas town that he would be glad to meet Cole's brother and friends or any one else who had any scores to settle with him. Bill went into Abilene standing out on the rear platform and there was a great crowd at the depot to greet him. He was dressed in his most dandified style and looked extremely well as he smiled placidly and surveyed the throng. He remained standing up above the heads of the crowd where everybody could see him for a few minutes and then stepped off upon the depot platform and shook hands with everybody. When the train pulled out he stood again on the rear platform and waved the crowd good-bye. If there were any friends of Cole or enemies of Wild Bill in Abilene that day they kept carefully out of sight. Not a shot was fired. Nothing happened. Wild Bill's reception at Abilene was a regular ovation. "That little trip that Cole's brother and friends had made from Texas to Abilene to avenge Cole's death was no bluff. They went to Abilene again the following year expecting to find Wild Bill there. Whey they learned that he was in Cheyenne, Cole's brother and two of his close friends started off for the Wyoming town. Wild Bill's friends in Abilene wired him to be on the lookout for them. "Bill was standing against the bar of a saloon in Cheyenne drinking a glass of beer when the three Texans stalked in. Bill recognized Cole's brother by his resemblance to the Cole he had killed. But Bill made no move. He merely fingered his glass lazily and watched the three strangers out of the corner of his eye. The Texans separated slightly and closed on Bill in a semi-circle. "Get him now!" said their leader suddenly. All three whipped out revolvers. But—would you believe it?—they did not fire a shot. Bill was the quickest man 'on the draw' that ever lived. He fired so rapidly that others in the saloon testified afterwards they heard but one report. His bullets found the Texans between the eyes and they fell dead in their tracks. Wild Bill killed these men with a six-shooter I had given him when he quit the theatrical business. "Wild Bill was one of the best revolver shots ever in the west," Buffalo Bill went on. "He certainly was the best revolver shot in a fight." "The man of today wonders why Wild Bill got into so many fights. One naturally figures he must have been a quarrelsome man. On the contrary he was distinctly likable and amiable. But out west in early days there were many men who took pride in bloody exploits and killed men simply to make a record. In the spirit of gamblers these men swore to kill each other to decide which was the better man. They hunted each other often and traveled hundreds of miles to fight it out with a rival killer. A number of these professional bad men tried to kill Wild Bill for the reputation it would give them. Other men tried to kill him as a result of disputes. Still others sought his life to avenge the deaths of relatives who had fallen before Wild Bill's revolvers. "He was klued in Deadwood by Jack McCall on August 2, 1876. With a party of friends he had entered a saloon to play poker. The card table was in a corner at the rear of the place. Captain Durfee, an old Missouri steamboat man and a friend of Hickok's, took the seat in the corner. Wild Bill tried to get the seat first. When he failed, he asked Captain Durfee to let him have it. Captain Durfee suspected Bill wanted the seat to have a certain man at his right to cut for him and perhaps stack the deck. Captain Durfee refused to give up the seat. Then Bill without more ado sat down in a chair with his back to the front door. In that position he could not see McCall enter. The assassin stepped up behind him and fired a bullet in the back of his head, killing him instantly. McCall was hanged in Yankton not long after. The fatal bullet, after passing through Wild Bill's skull, broke Captain Durfee's arm. "Captain Durfee said afterward that he did not realize until too late that Wild Bill wanted the chair in the corner so he could command a view of the bar and all who entered from the street. If the captain had known this he would have surrendered the chair and Wild Bill would not have been assassinated." LESSON TEXT—Psalm 65. MEMORY VERSES—10-11. GOLDEN TEXT—"The Lord hath done great things for us; where we are glad."—Psa. 126.3. PLACE IN HISTORY—Just when this Psalm was written is unknown, but in its extile, the times of our last two lessons. Psalms 121, 122, 126, 130 are among the Pilgrim Psalms. "Psalms of Deliverance" came as a vivifying power into the hearts of the returned exiles, who in the midst of their joy were overwhelmed with difficulties, and hardships and discouragements. The reality was far different from the ideal pictures in their minds. They had seen Victory glorious in the distance, but were not plunged into the turmoll and smoke of battle. They were tempted to say to the prophets that Pliable in the Slough of Despond, angrily said to Christian who had urged him to go on the pilgrimage to the Celestial City: "Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of?" But songs of deliverance keep the celestial hope ever in view. They point out the way to the things hoped for, and show "the evidence of things not seen." "Thou has been favorable unto thy land," shown by bringing back the captivity of Jacob. This was a most marvelous event and not even to be hoped for in the natural course of things. "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion," caused the stream of captives that flowed to Babylon to turn back and flow to Zion; "like the streams in the south," in suddenness and overflowing fullness. The loving kindness of God proves that he has forgiven their past transgressions. "Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people." Canceled it, as an account of debt is canceled, or taken away as a heavy, crushing burden. Covered all their sin. Blotted out of sight, covered it with a mantle, so that they were in God's sight as those who had never sinned. We need forgiveness as wide as the sin. And we find in the Bible as many terms expressing forgiveness as we found for expressing sin—Forgive, Remit, Wash away, Cover up, Blot out, Destroy, Wash away, Cleanse. The returned exiles gained a new knowledge of God's Word, a new world experience, they lost the independent nation, but gained the independent church, from which blossomed the Messiah, the Saviour of the world. The old, eternal law of sin and death was irrevocable, never ceased; but the changed character permits a new law to override the consequences. In the words of Dr. John Thomas of Liverpool: "Every man who knows anything knows that one law can be neutralized by another. There is a law of gravitation which keeps this Bible here upon the desk. That law cannot be altered, it cannot be stopped; it will draw, and draw, and draw, whatever you may say or do, but it can be neutralized by the law of my will. I can lift the book and make the law of gravitation to appear as though it were not. That is exactly what we say about the pardon of sin and the arrest of its consequences." God has done much for them, but they longed for more. So many evils remained, the nation was yet so imperfect, so far from what it might be. Illustration from Dr. Chapman's address to the Harvard students. "Remember, friends, that it is God's standard your life and mine must come up against. A friend of mine went to see an old washerwoman, and as he entered the house the sheets hanging on the line in front of the house impressed him as especially white, spotlessly white. He went into the house, and was there for some time. It had commenced to snow in the meantime. When he came out, he noticed that the snowflakes had been falling on the clothes, and that the sheets did not seem white at all, but yellow rather. He spoke to the old washerwoman. 'Why, what's the matter? They looked so very white when I came in, and now they don't look white at all.' The old woman said: 'What can stand against God Almighty's white.'" There is a charming little booklet called "Expectation Corner," an allegory on prayer almost as good as "Pilgrim's Progress." A poor man in Recreedem Land landed over his poverty, and was taken at last to see the Lord's treasure houses. There he found a room called the Missed Blessings Office, full of blessings marked for him which his weak faith would not expect, so that his door was closed when they were brought. He saw another storehouse, called the Delayed Blessings Office, full of good things for which the receivers were not prepared, or which were not fully ripened for their best use. They were growing and would be sent in fullness of time. Truth shall spring out of the earth, from men on earth, as plants grow from the ground. They seek God "in sincerity and in truth," and such prayers receive the answer of righteousness from heaven, a right heart, a right life, inspiration to righteousness, and guidance in the right way. "They that sow in tears" of sincere repentance and toll, "shall reap in joy." As Haggag told them that drought, and mildew, and meager crops were the punishment for their sins and irreligion, so now the blessings of prosperity are promised as the visible reward and sign of God's favor.

Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and inhabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very salty—and preserve only the spawns 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 --- R.B.

His parents are convinced that Clarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be as a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance. Clarence lives in suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vain. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Clarence bore them both home in triumph.

Queen Adelaide, the wife of William TV., was a woman of great plety and exceptional humility, which was shown fm the directions for her funeral, “I die in all bumility,” she wrote “Knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, there fore, that my mortal remains be con ‘veyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. “I particularly desire not to be lafd cut in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to he carried by sailors to the chapel. 1 die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities aud the pomp of the world.”—Home Noies. iMAN HAS NO RIGHT TO SCOFP |Not so Mary Years Ago He Was i Grazy Over Dress | Himself, No, brother, men have not always ‘been so indifferent to dress as they are today. Their raiment, as com pared with the darnfoolishness of woman, hasn't always been above re proach. Consider, if you wil, the days when ‘our respected forefathers would draw on their lavender-colored pants with ® 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. Conelder their tight boots—made sa tight that they caused the most em eruciating agony. And Yémember that the dandies of that day would care fully polish these burning, biasing, Pinching, agonizing boots and them step carefully with the toes in a mud Puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. 0, yes, they dif it. And of course you know that a bootjack ‘Wasn't used merely because the boots might soil the hands, but because no- body had invented a stump-puller in those days and applied it to the re moval 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, com sider 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 excelator would show through, Think of the bepowdered 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 thelr eomplexion—yes, and rouge. They ‘sure were pretty men those days, And going back to the Indian— ‘think of bis war paint, of his gaudy ‘blanket, bis stained arrows, bis paint ed pony, his bearofled hair and hie leolored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so ‘pretty now. Only he really hadn't ‘oughter scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese (hair switches and things. He really hadn't oughter. As a Buncher, We is one of the most bothersome ‘words in the language. It is reaponst dle for more misunderstandings tham any other ten words put together An editor will start out consctentt ousity to give hts opinions. He will begin by saying “We think,” meaning himself. A latter later he will say “we,” meaning his advertisers, A few Mnes farther down he will use the ‘word again, meaning the class of peo ple who read his paper. Then his heart will soften and e» pand. 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 peo ple x large have no interest, or af Jeast no profit. All this is very confusing. The up @uspecting reader struggles along try ing in vain to separate the we-goats from the wesheep. Sometimes that's ‘exactly what the editor is striving for, and sometimes he is the most com fused of all. ‘We was invented to concesi thought. Life.

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 Natfonal Gallery and all the places they could get in free, and, as ‘an especial treat, they visited a musie 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 you like it?” ss “Yerra good, verra good, no doubt,” nodded the old man, “but we country folk canna be taen in so easy as afl ‘that; I know all the time he wan't pewallowin’ of {"1"—Answers Ne. = adel AR yeh des 1 ee o : a oe EBSe it Coffeyvilfe, Kansas Mrs Etizabeth Thomas has ‘zone to Great Bend Kansas, to visit her son, William Thomas.

This Time for a Friend "Tis a wise man," said Robert Edson, "who knows when to ask questions. The other night I was standing inside the railroad station when an Irish cab driver came up to me and asked me how soon the next train came in. I told him and he said thank you and went away. In about five minutes he came back with the same question. I told you not more than five minutes ago, I said. 'I know it,' he answered cheerfully, 'but it's not me th't wants to know this time. It's a friend of mine outside th't has to to watch his horses and can't come in an' ask yez himself!'" — Young's magazine. A Broken Bone. Your first duty, after notifying a surgeon, is to provide support for the injured member in the form of an improvised splint. Flat pieces of board, as broad, if possible, as the limb and slightly longer than the broken bone, canes, umbrellas, in fact anything that will accomplish your end may be used. In adjusting these, pad with any soft material that is at hand; straw, leaves or cushions made of grass may be used. Avoid any pressure on the injured part, cover it with a cloth, and keep wet with clean, cold water. —Woman's Home Companion. And So On. "What is the domestic science?" inquired the engaged girl. "It consists of making hash out of the left-over meat, and croquettes out of the left-over hash," explained her more experienced friend. SHIFT If Your Food Fails to Sustain You, Change. One sort of diet may make a person despondent, depressed and blue and a change to the kind of food the body demands will change the whole thing. A young woman from Phila. says: "For several years I kept in a run-down, miserable sort of condition, was depressed and apprehensive of trouble. I lost flesh in a distressing way and seemed in a perpetual sort of dreamy nightmare. No one serious disease showed, but the 'all-over' sickness was enough. "Finally, between the doctor and father, I was put on Grape-Nuts and cream, as it was decided I must have a nourishing food that the body could make use of. "The wonderful change that came over me was not, like Jonah's gourd, the growth of a single night, yet it came with a rapidity that astonished me. "During the first week I gained in weight, my spirits improved, and the world began to look brighter and more worth while. "And this has continued steadily, till now, after the use of Grape-Nuts for only a few weeks, I am perfectly well, feel splendidly, take a lively interest in everything, and am a changed person in every way."

They examine, true, and fall of humans interest. Penelope Ponders By DOROTHY DOUGLAS Bob had taken his dismissal; his eyes were black with increasing gloom. Julla, the proud little recipient of his affections, smiled; but there was tenderness in her smile. "Things might be entirely different," she contipued. "If I didn't think there was something in that head of yours that is worth getting out. I feel sure that you could make your presence known in the world if you only would—instead, you drift about spending money with every breath." "It is honestly acquired money—and my own." Bob glowered at her. "I am perfectly well aware of that," Julla said a trifle coldly. "but if you hadn't been lucky with stocks you might have continued to develop your talents and try to do something worth while." Her words were true Bob Stanley was not of an analytical mind or he would have realized that the days spent in trying his pen in the literary field had been strangely happy ones. He failed to remember that the occasional shafts of light, in the way of successes, had brightened the days as nothing had brightened them since. "Anyway," Julia went on in a hard little voice, "I will not marry a man who is wasting his life as you are. If you make your name ring, even a little—perhaps I will reconsider my answer." With a swift, unexpected movement, Bob caught her in his arms. He bent his head over hers intending to kiss her, but he released her as suddenly, and without another word turned and left her. Well, that was the end—the end of all things. Bob Stanley ambled on and on until he found that he had dropped onto one of the benches in the park. A grim smile twisted his lips. It was amusing to find how naturally he had fallen into the way of all loafers and failures. They all sought out a bench in the park and there, with variable imaginations, pictured their last miserable hours. Stanley felt that any way out of existence would suit him, whether it be long and torturing, or swift and sure. He found gloomy enjoyment when he first pictured his name in big headlines and that of Julia Stearns figuring in the tragic affair. His imagination carried him on to one line that would stand out in big letters: "Just what was to be expected of a man of Robert Stanley's kind." The man on the bench strenghened his shoulders and his eyes narrowed with momentary freedom from gloom. "I have walked past exactly five times," said a voice at his elbow. "Which route have you decided upon?" she inquired laughingly, seating herself beside him. "I am sure it will be a pistol—your eyes are so desperately eager to get there." Bob laughed sheepishly and covered the hand she had put on his arm to be lie the frivolity of her words. "She refused me, Penelope," he said, and all his past misery returned. "I more than half expected it, Bobby, Penelope told him. "You see Julia is ambitious, not only for herself, but for others. She wants to be married to a man about whom people will say, 'Oh, there's So-and-so!' "They say that in one tone about me now," Bob gloomed. Penelope looked tenderly at the artistically handsome head so appealing in its misery and pondered long and seriously. What would be the best and quickest way to awaken the slumbering genius in him? It was there in every little quick turn of temperament, in the big loves of his nature, but he was a soul struggling in the dark. He turned toward her unexpectedly and met the pain in her eyes. "I've hurt the very best friend I have in the world!" he cried contritely. "I will do anything you say if you can help me to be worthy of Julia—and you." Penelope laughed quickly. "If you won't buy the pistol, you may come to see me tonight, and we'll see what is to be done." A dull color swept up to the auburn at his temples. Penelope regretted her words. "That was only for a second," Bob said looking into her eyes; "the strength of the weak is not mine." "The weakness of strength," corrected Penelope. "Come early tonight and let us get a good start toward making you famous." "I hope it won't be inamous," muttered Bob. His gloom had lightened. He could more easily picture Julia in his big mansion on the hill because he felt that Penelope would help him Bob Stanley was of a type of man that requires the help of a woman and in getting it, gets all. That night when Penelope greeted him on the veranda of her home he drew her hand close within his own. "You are looking unusually beautiful," he said; "you should always wear those Burne Jones things—they make you look like a symbol of purity." Penelope blushed. "I don't return from Paris—always." She made him comfortable in the wide swing "I want you to hear one or two of my new songs—I never know whether or not they will take until you have told me," she said prettily. While Penelope sang in her deep soothing contralto, Bob felt thankful that Julia, too, sang. He wouldn't love a woman who couldn't sing to him when he was tired or when he wanted only music. When she came out and sank into a low chair at his side it was not unnatural that they should fall into discussing the latest novels. From that the conversation turned to Penelope's latest trip and the plot she had thought of while in Paris. It was a splendid story to work out and as she narrated the incidents she had the pleasure of watching Bob Stanley awaken to, first polite, and finally animated interest in the story. "I wish I could write it." Penelope said and fixed wistful eyes, in which the wisdom was concealed, upon Bob. "If I could write that story—I would win Julia!" Bob remarked. "Fame and Julia!" laughed Penelope. "I am sure you are welcome to the plot," she said, "but I don't see how you can concentrate on anything here—you will be mooning and glooming about Julia." Bob looked into her wise eyes and laughed "One summer," he said pointedly, "your mother asked me to join your camp in the Adirondacks." "We leave next Saturday." Penelope kept the triumph well under control. "It would be a splendid opportunity to work," she said, "and I will be there always to—give you the atmosphere of Normandy for the story." "Would I bother you?" Bob asked with tardy modesty. "You are like one of the family," Penelope laughed frankly. "If you can stand my practicing—" "I began to think I can stand anything from you, Penny." "That is your writer's imagination," Penelope suggested. Six weeks later Penelope and Bob strolled through the trail and up to the hotel for mail. The first check had arrived "I suppose it will take at least fifty successes—before Julia will listen to me again?" Bob asked half seriously. "One good novel would get you there quicker than many short stories." Penelope thought. "We will put up a lunch and row over to the island this afternoon and talk—novel." "You and Julia will both thank me—later on," she made answer. Penelope knew in her heart that Bob Stanley would never again lose his interest in writing. He had been awakened now to the full joy of real inspirational work. "I rejoice every day, Bob," Penelope said later on when they had reached the little deserted island, "that Julia refused to marry a nonentity. She has really been the means of giving the world another great writer. I know you will be that some day." They drafted out the lines of a novel during the day and toward dusk sat down for their tea. "Bob," Penelope spoke seriously, "I want you to do me a favor." Stanley only looked at her and waited. "Julia refused you when you were a nonentity—I want her to accept you before you are famous. She doesn't love you if she waits—for more." "For more?" "I mean," Penelope said quickly and a little flush colored each cheek, "that I have been with you all summer—and have learned that you are—well, not such a bad specimen—without fame. If Julia expects any more—she doesn't deserve you and I shall write and tell her so!" declared Penelope. "Will you please—for my benefit—leave tonight and propose again to Julia?" Bob laughed. "Why certainly, Penn." "Wish me success little helper," Bob said as he turned toward the station. "All the joy in the world!" Penelope cried from the depths of her heart. When he had gone she sank into a heap because the light of the world had gone and she was blinded to all save darkness. She stood up and listened with bated breath. He was returning. "What is it, Bob! What has happened?" she cried quickly. "Nothing, Penelope, except that the whole earth grew dark—without you beside me." He drew a deep breath when she was safe in his arms. Preserve Rare Eggs. Voyagers to far-away islands often discover rare birds whose species they desire to propagate in their own country, but which they are unable to transport without incurring the danger of losing the captive by death on the voyage. In order to introduce the birds into other lands the eggs are taken home and hatched there. But this method is also fraught with more or less "risk, as the eggs are quite apt to spoil during the voyage. To prevent this the following course is often pursued Obtain an animal intestine large enough to receive the egg to be carried. Remove all fat from the intestine, then cleanse thoroughly with powdered chalk. Pass the egg into the intestine, which must then be tied close to the shell at each end, and placed in a dry, cool place. When perfectly dry the incased eggs are placed in a box of grain or seeds. Care must be taken that the box be turned bottom upward occasionally. A young moon had lighted the dusk when they returned to the camp. She scarcely knew his voice when he spoke. CARE GIVEN LINEN DARNING OF FINE CLOTH IS FASCINATING WORK. Wear of Tablecloth Is Prolonged If Several Stitches Are Taken in Fold—Proper Repairing of Worn Napkins. Every housekeeper is proud of her linen closet, undoubtedly, and to keep the contents in good condition is more often considered a pleasure than a task, especially when the stitch-intime-saves-nine rule is applied. Darning fine linen is really fascinating work if one will only take pains to do it well. Table cloths are apt to show the first signs of wear in the fold down the middle, but an actual break may be prolonged if a few threads—half a dozen or so—are neatly darned in down this fold. Some housekeepers reinforce in this way after a few washings only, but as the damask then is apt to be thick, the darning is a little harder to do than when the cloth has reached the half-worn stage. The thread known as flourishing cotton is used for repairing all kinds of house linen, and will be found to look almost exactly like a thread drawn from damask. Every one is acquainted with the device of cutting a couple of inches from one end and one side of a tablecloth when it begins to wear, but this shortening may be put off for a long time if the middle fold is strengthened while the cloth is still in good condition. Then there are others who never iron the cloth directly through the middle, but fold it so that it measures from one to two inches wider on one part, because, of course, it is the constant pressing of the iron on the one line that causes the wear. The next sign of wear is indicated by broken threads. If these are allowed to remain unnoticed the result will be a hole in no time, while if a few stitches are set in the ravage will be concealed and the damask look like new again. A simple in and out, upper and under stitch is used, the work being done on the wrong side of the cloth. This is "the stitch in time." When both woof and warp break, a hole having ragged edges is the result. When this happens there is nothing to do but cut away the frayed part and fill in the space with the darning stitch. Unless the thread used for working has been shrunken loops should be left all around the edges of the hole. The wise plan is to leave the loops any way, because the ironing is apt to stretch the thread and the loops will allow plenty of "give," while a tight thread will cause a drawing that will in time tear the material mended part away. As the cloth is always thin around a hole, the darning should extend beyond it for half an inch or more on all sides. Worn napkins are repaired in the same way as tablecloths. Spanish Chocolate Cake. First Part.—One cup of brown sugar, half cup of sweet milk, one cup of bitter chocolate that has been grated, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Second Part.—One cup of brown sugar, half cup of butter. Cream these two together; two eggs, one cup of milk, two cups of flour. After you have them well mixed together add the first part, or what you might call custard part. Cook the first part about ten minutes, and be sure it is cool before adding it to the second part. Lastly, add one teaspoonful of baking soda that has been dissolved in a little water. Bake in layers and also in a moderate oven. Make any kind of a white filling for between layers and on top of the cake. Cooking Helps. Serve a loaf of baked dressing with your roast of beef. Try a spoonful or perhaps two or maple sirup on your warm apple pie. Arrange cold rice in balls, roll in cocoanut, and serve with boiled custard. Keep a box of parsley growing in your kitchen window or on your back porch and use it for dressing tomatoes, bacon, or chopped for sandwich filling. Cut side salt pork thin and fry a crispy brown. Garnish with lemon quarters and parsley and you will not miss the more expensive bacon. Stewed Apples. The cores should be removed from the apples before peeling. When peeling be careful not to break them. Cover with water in which a cupful of sugar is dissolved, and stew gently until the apples are transparent. Lift them from the syrup with a strainer and place in a glass bowl. When perfectly cold fill the centers with red jelly and, if desired, mask the tops with a spoonful of orange marmalade. Stew down the syrup until it is quite thick, season with lemon juice and pour it around the apples. Salted Veal. Put one tablespoonful of butter in the chafing dish, when hot add three tablespoonfuls of cream, seasoning of salt and pepper, dust of powdered mace and red pepper. When very hot add one cupful of veal cut in dice, allow to heat thoroughly and serve. This is a delicious way of serving veal, and will often taste so much like chicken that it can scarcely be recognized as anything else. Boy at Play Is Always Deaf When His Mother Is Calling Him. That was his mother calling from a window and Johnny playing in the street, but Johnny didn't hear her. And then: "Johnny! Come here." But Johnny is at this moment reaching up to catch a high ball and his ears are closed to all calls; where-upon: "Johnny, do you hear me?" But Johnny doesn't. He has caught that ball and now he is fielding it to another boy standing by a tree. So now: "Johnny!" this time with a little staccato in it, and perhaps a faint suggestion of a slimmer. And does that open Johnny's ears? Why, he's at the bat now and prepared to hit the ball a swat that will send it half way down the block, and all things else are as naught to him. But now hear the vigilant mother, this time gently, for she knows that boys will be boys: "Johnny, I want you to come in now." Johnny is at this moment running like a wild man, or boy, making for that tree he was throwing at a moment ago and utterly oblivious of everything in the world, the parental voice included. But that cleaves the air again now: "Johnny!" Johnny is standing with one foot at the root of the tree and the other foot extended, all ready to jump and run when the boy at the bat hits the ball. "Johnny!" And Johnny runs like all possessed, not for home, but for the base, and there he stands, while from the window comes again the voice: "A man can no more change his reputation than he can change his face or his arms," said Senator La Follette at a banquet in Madison. "There was once a wicked old Madison millionaire who took his pastor aside and said: "I am gofing to devote the remainder of my life to doing good.'

Daniel Fahrenheit. In view of the abnormal weather which we have had this summer we think a tribute of respect should be paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, who was born on September 16, either in 1736 or 1740, it is hard to say which. Before his day several attempts had been made to measure the heat level, not the heat, by tubes containing oil of spirits of wine, but it lay with a bankrupt merchant of Dantzig to show how the feat could be successfully accomplished. The first thermometers were made with spirits of wine; but the ingenious Gabriel soon adopted mercury as his medium, and so it has remained to this day. His instruments speedily to this day. His instruments speedily became known throughout the world, and though a more rational method of graduation has since been adopted, the popular mind still clings to the Fahrenheit scale. Our own Royal society thought highly of this humble inventor and acknowledged his genius by making him one of its fellows. To the "Transactions" of the society he contributed several papers.—Pall Mall Gazette. Salve to Conscience It was at a concert, where the removal of hats was not obligatory, still the woman with a conscience wished to be accommodating. She turned to the woman sitting beside her and said: "Does my hat bother you?" "Not in the least," said the other woman sweetly, so the woman with a conscience settled complacently back to listen to the music while persons on the back seats twisted their necks out of joint trying to see around her hat. It is quite possible for a man to be hot-headed and still get cold feet.

Amato had not sung two bars before his audience knew that he owned a voice of tremendous timbre, of such volume, indeed, as to be almost stuuning to the surprised ear. His is, indeed, a royal voice, and though the first impression is of its magnificent volume, one instantly realizes that he is its complete master, says the San Francisco Evening Post. Hunting for a simile for its power and the skill with which it is used, one can only compare Amato's vocal gift and art to a splendidly equipped pipeorgan with a virtuoso at the keyboard. Amato has all the "stops" at easy command from dulciana to diapason. The delicacy of his mezzo voice is as charming as the splendor of his fullest tones. But it is the glory of Amato's great voice that leaves the first and last impression. He gave us a big and a Catholic program yesterday and was prodigal with his encores. From seventeenth century Italian ballads it ranged to Schubert's terrific "Erl King." As a ballad singer Amato's distinction is as great as in J. PASQUALE AMATO. The Fortunate Possessor of the Most Glorious Voice of the Present Day. Will Come to Wichita Forum Nov. 2. his operatic achievements, although it is in the latter that he has won world fame. It would be difficult to imagine a more expressive rending of Fonte-nailes' well-known "Obstination" than his, while two eighteenth century folk songs, in entirely different mood, were equally delightful. Amato brought his program to a splendid climax with the prologue from "Pagliacci," the piece de resistance of all baritones, and rewarded the terrent of applause that marked its ending with a truly magnificent singing of the immortal Toreador song. And, indeed, in both these numbers it was more than singing, for Amato did not restrain the dramatic fervor of the opportunities. One did not have to close one's eyes to see Amato as Leonca-vallo's buffoon or Bizet's bull-fighter. Mme. Longaro, a brilliant soprano and admirable singer, proved a charming complement of the concert. Excelling in French ballads, she also gave us a group of German songs and was entirely equal to the test of singing Mozart duets with matchless Amato. "The Crisis"—Lyceum Monday evening, October 23, North Bros. Stock Co. will offer at the Lyceum Theatre for the first time in stock in Wichita, Winston Churchill's great play of the south, "The Crisis". A play which enjoys a national reputation, and which presents in an interesting manner scenes and incidents pertinent to the great struggle between the North and the South. Do not think that "The Crisis" is just another of those "war plays", which so often are sprung upon the people, because it is not. While the time is between the years of 1857 and 1863 during the very heat of the Rebellion, the story told is simply homelike and uses the war only as a basis. Beautiful scenic effects have been built and painted for the production. The cast is of exceptional strength and an attraction of exceptional merit may be confidently anticipated. Regular matinees will be given Wednesday and Saturday. For Deserving Young Men. The will of Mrs. Grace R.

She said in the will that she gave the money for the benefit of young men who had not attained high scholarship, but had made good use of their opportunities and gave promise of success in business or professional careers.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA "I, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctoring for at least a year for eczema on my foot. I had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when five years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. I was worried and sent for a doctor. He said it was eczema. He drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about an inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and the eczema spread to the knee. The doctors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time. "My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to another in the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was so intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One day a friend of mine dropped in to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she exclaimed: 'Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Remedies!' Being disgusted with the doctors and their medicines, and not being able to sleep at all, I decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but very little pain, in fact, I thought I was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Remedies for three months I was perfectly restored to health, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I will be sixty-four years of age my next birthday, hale and hearty at present." (Signed) Mrs. Julia Finnegan, 2234 Hebert St., St. Louis, Mo., Mar. 7, 1911.

A company playing "Hamlet" was forced to find an actor to play the Second Gravedigger on account of the illness of the second comedian of the company. The only actor available was a variety performer, who had no reverence for Shakespeare and no respect for the traditions of the classic drama. The Second Gravedigger was a comedy part, and he knew that he could "get away with it." When the First Gravedigger threw off the first waistcoat, revealing another underneath, the audience titered. The removal of the second waistcoat brought a loud laugh, and the third produced a roar. The First Gravedigger was delighted. He had never played to such an appreciative audience, and visions of good notices in the papers and a possible increase in salary began to loom up before his eyes. As he threw off the fourth waistcoat he turned partly around, and the cause of the unusual hit was disclosed to him. The Second Gravedigger, being customed to build laughs on lines and business of other actors, saw his opportunity and seized it. As fast as the First Gravedigger would throw the waistcoats on the ground, the variety comedian would pick them up and put them on. The new business was much funnier to the audience than the old, with which it was thoroughly familiar. Not content with having stolen the laughs from the regular comedian in this scene, the new man went further. When the First Gravedigger said to him, "Go, get thee to Yaughan; fetch me a stoup of liquor" (to which there is no reply in the text), the assistant sexton replied: "Yaughan told me to tell you that you couldn't have any more liquor from him 'til you paid for the last you got."—The Bookman. The Very Worst. Clement J. Driscoll, at a dinner in New York, told a number of amusing stories about his strenuous life as commissioner of weights and measures last year. "A friend of mine," said Mr. Driscoll, "noticed one morning that his grocer looked very sad. 'What's the matter, old man?' my friend asked jokingly. "The weights and measures man hasn't been dropping in on you, I hope?" "Yes, he has,' snapped the grocer. "But you don't really mean to say,' exclaimed my friend, 'that he caught you giving only fifteen ounces to the pound?" "Worse than that!" groaned the grocer. "I've been giving seventeen." When Friendship Counts. The doors of the deformed man are always locked, and the key is on the outside. He may have treasures of charm inside, but they will never be revealed unless the person outside cooperates with him in unlocking the door. A friend becomes, to a much greater degree than with the ordinary man, the indispensable means of discovering one's own personality. One only exists, so to speak, with friends. It is easy to see how hopelessly such a sensitiveness incapacitates a man for business, professional or social life, where the hasty and superficial impression is everything, and disaster is the fate of the man who has not all the treasures of his personality in the front window where they can be readily inspected and 'appraised. —From the September Atlantic SPOHN'S DISTEMPER CURE will cure any possible case of DISTEMPER, PINK EYE, and the like among horses of all ages, and prevents all others in the same stable from having the disease.

Most housewives assume when they buy a big can of baking powder at a low price that they have been economical. They use that cheap "big can" baking powder, and find it so uneven in quality, or so unreliable that the baking falls, there isn't so much economy in it after all, for the wasted materials far outweigh the few savings in the price. SUCCESSFUL economy, is in the reach of every woman that desires it. She has only to order Calmet Baking Powder, which she will achieve economy. For not only does Calmet sell at a reasonable price—£c per pound—but it is so carefully made by experienced chemists that failure is not used and the proportions of the ingredients are so exact and so uniform that EVERY baking comes from the oven, light, sweet, and beautifully rakued.

RARE FORMS OF MARINE LIFE Beaked Whales and West Indian Ech Imolde Are Described in the Bulle tins of the National Museum. ‘The United States National museum hsa {issued two bulletins in the quarto meries. Of theso the first, Bulletin 73 1s “An foocount of the beaked whales of the family Ziphidae in the collection of Khe United States National museum, with remarks on some specimens in ther American museums,” by Dr, Wrederick W. True, head curator of fon department of biology in the ted States National museum. ‘The beaked whales are among the rarest cetaceans and of the three gem ‘era only specimens representing about 100 individuals are known. The three genera in the family Ziphidae are Mesoplodon, Ziphius and Beradius, and to the discussions of these with éhelr individual -spectes Doctor True thas devoted his attention. The second of these bulletins, No 14, ts “On Some West Indian Echim olds,” by the well known authority, Theodore Mortenson of the Zoological museum of Copenhagen, Denmark. Of special interest in this bulle tin is the list of North American and ‘West Indian Echinolds, which he has carefully compiled from the spect- mens obtained by the Blake and the Albatross.

It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manu lactured sausages, but this prehistorie 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 envgloped in the stomachs of goats. Nat votil the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed perk de come known. It was in or near the vesr 1500 that, thanks to the introduc. tion into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strassburg acquired a universal rep tation. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Months te En- Joyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody Itves the stm- ple life in summer time, They camp out on islands, in the forests and al- ways somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes, Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, anu ‘he town coum- ells of the towns tn ‘his progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and publie bathing sheds In all places where the working classes go Iv search of fresh air. But the simyie lite is by no means dull with the frisky Finns v come bine {t with a surprisine unt of sayety. They eat, drink and ar> merry im their picturesque little log cabina outside the citfes. When they are tired of bathing end wlasbing they dance, they sing, they fatch fireworks and practice gymnas ce, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most eastly pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. ‘We inight take many leaves from the Winns’ book.—Ladies’ Piotcrial Whistling Sign of Contempt. A Moroccan shows his contempt of anything by whistling. A conflict be tween tribesmen and a battalion of French troops was recently precipt- tated by the whistling of a locomo tive on a railway being constructed near Casablanca. “The giaours are laughing at us.” said a chieftain, whep the construction engine gave a toot to warn the natives at work ox the line to look out. The Arabs went wild, mounted thetr horses, ‘and rode on the whfstling enemy. They had to be calmed with the whistling of rife balls. = ‘The government is going to Iny + molaeses road in Massachusetts, Tha ts, it will pr@pare a binder for ma eadam roads the basis of which will be the residue of sugar-cane manufacture & by-product for which there is al present no known use.

Incidentally it 1s interesting to note that the skill which enables one to de tect @ counterfeit comes not fron study of counterfeits, but from a tli ough and unconscious familiarity wit the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that somy day another whe mach resembled bim would try to impose apon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would no spend ‘any time looking at other people whe looked something like him, wo=!4 you? And the moment the impostor ap eared 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 rap idly, will involuntarfly throw out “a note which in the slightest degree de parts from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision, That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been Justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when @ Te quest 1s received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he fs advised te» bave the young men study the genuine carefully, and thers will be no trouble in detecting the "aé aotes.--National Magazive. REMARKABI.E IN THE DOG LINE. Prot Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, @ son of Bluff, the big bull ter tier, is the most respected dog in Flat- Gush, 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 lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's [proweus to his fondness for the pipe Like Old King Cole: He onlls for his pipe, | He calls for his glass, He calls for his fiddiers 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 all chewed up! If the tobacco floesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire ts well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Sam- son. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with ‘8 rope and he will pull it all over the room.” Siuce supporting race enter- prises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap: ? A Knowing Dog. “Now,” aald the narrator, “I've got 4 dog here I would not take $100 for. You can belleve me or not, but what {am going to tell you fs the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring { lost about a si« very valuable sheep, until one : 1 was looking across from my |< 10 the edge of fe range oppos': =bcut two miles away, I noticed some sheep.

In less than two hours he brought the sheep home ‘safe and sound.” Rater A cagiain on an ocean liner %ii3 the following story: Coming from tae old country was @ very nervous old lady who complained that she wea sure there was « rat in her stateroom. “Keep it there, madam,” sald the raptain. “But do you like rats?” asked ate. “T've got a nest in my cabin,” ro Werted the brusque seaman, “and ¢ never distutb them When they lee<e the ship I do.” “Why, you must be superstitious,” arged the dame. “Ne, ma’am,’ word up the captain, “Ym aot, but the rats are.” ee eee Send Your News In Early This Week. (f= 00 9 .u.L HOW 10 MEET A Lion BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ery QUETTE FOR occasion, W King of Beasts Falls to Realize Hy Is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Avy With Becoming Dignity, The etiquette to be observed wnep & peacefully inclined tourist or op Plerer meets a lon in the jungle i described by Sir Frederick Troves, tne Aistinguished British surgeon, in’ his book, “Uganda for a Holiday,” just published in England, “The tourist coming to British Kast Africa,” he says, “Is cure to inquire as to the line of conduct that should be observed when a lion ts encoun. tered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that tho etiquette suitable for the occasion was the fo. lowing: If the lion when met with ig walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should bo al lowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stopa and stares at the tourist tt is proper that the tourist should ‘Shisi’ the an fmal away, as he would an obtrusive goose on a village green. Should the Non be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist {s advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature, If, after “bis, the lion till fails to realize ti 1. 's de trop, tho tourist 1s recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands.” Sir Frederick Trevos has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. “The rhinoceros {s the embodiment of blind conservatism," he writes. “Its hide 1s impenetrable, its vision is weak, while {ts intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and &@ sense of smell. It 1s aroused to its maximum energy by the presence ot anything that is new. This object Reed not be a thing that ts aggressive or inconvenfent. Its offensiveness de ends upon the fact that it is unt millar, 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 lke a torpedo or a runaway locomo- tive simply 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 {t up as a blacksmith would an empty meat tin. “A conservative rhinoceros with senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda ralk way, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoo- eros in this case, it appeared sur prised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an addl- tional grievance and an increased swelling of the head.” ‘Tournament on Sea Horses. Rumor has often told us of sea horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside. Faith 1s, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington Day, on the north shore of Long ‘s land, actual sea horses are daily c#- 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 ingentously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which 1s 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, ab though tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by them- selves, they are fiends incarnate as soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in ® manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the Deach at Huntington is a tournament tm which armed knights, each astride of 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. ) Qualification for Office. ‘Tho little trial I have had of public employment hae been sp much disgust to me; I feel at times temptations to ward ambition rising in my soul; but 1 obstinately oppose them. “But thou, Catullus, be thou frm to the last.” 1 am seldom called to it, and as se om offer myself uncalled; liberty and laziness, the qualities most predom nant in me, are qualities diametrically contrary to that trade.
