The purpose of these reports is to afford a broad view of actual conditions and of what the people themselves, either as individuals or though their churches and schools, are doing to improve them. The second day will be devoted to a conference of the teachers and others who are engaged in some definite form of work to improve the masses of the colored people. The purpose of the Workers' Conference is to bring the work of the school, the churches and other institutions into a closer touch with the practical - everyday life of the people. The principal topic for discussion at the Workers' Conference will be: "How may we Encourage the Practice of saving among the Negroes?" This subject will be devided into five sub-topics, affording opportunity for a full free and helpful discussion. Mobs Crime is Openly Endorsed. By South Carolina Governor Who Said He Would Have Lyunched The Negro If The Moe Failed. Columbia S. C. Nov. 24.—Great indignation has been roused throughout the State by a speech which Governor Collease delivered at Anderson on yesterday, in which he landed the mob that recently lyunched --- Mobs Crime is Openly Endorsed. By South Carolina Governor Who Said He Would Have Lyached The Negro If The Moc Failed. Columbia S. C. Nov. 24.—Great indignation has been arroused throughout the State by a speech which Governor Cole Blease delivered at Anderson on yesterday, in which he landed the mob that recently lynched a NO.32 Negro at Honeapath, S. C., for alleged attact on a white girl. The Governor went on to say that rather than use the power of his office in deterring white men from "punishing that niger brute" he would have "resigned the office and gone to Honepath and let the mob." Govetnor Blease's open avywal of sympathy with lynch law has given impetus to the movement,already on foot to attempt to impeach him.It has been openly stated that when the Legislature meets impeachment proceedings would be begun against the Governor because of his alleged connection with the "whiskey ring" when he was State Seator in the dispensary days. EARTKQUAKE SHOOK EUROPE MUCH DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, BUT NO LIVES LOST. Kingdom of Wuertemburg Severely Shaken and Railway Traffic Interrupted. Berlin, Germany.—The earthquake which was felt in a wide area of Central Europe severely damaged the Castle of Hohenzollern on the steep Zollerberg near Hechingen. Statues were disfigured and great cracks appeared in the towers. At Constance, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, the spire and cross of the cathedral, the most imposing building in the city, fell. A colossal statue of Germania, which crowned the postoffice building, tumbled into the street The Kingdom of Wuertemburg was much shaken. In Ebingen 500 frightened persons spent the night around fires in an open field. Railway communication with that place has been interrupted. Earth shocks are unusual in the districts affected and the alarm generally was greater than would have been the case in countries where such disturbances are a more common occurrence. Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich and other points report damages to public and private buildings. Berne, Switzerland.—A violent earth shock was felt throughout Switzerland at 10:27 o'clock at night. This was followed by lesser quakes. The movement was especially strong in the cantons of Berne and Zurich, in the district of Interlaken and throughout the region of the Alps. In Geneva street cars were detailed. In this city and in Zurich theater audiences were thrown into a panic and rushed into the streets. At Chamonix enormous avalanches rushed down Mount Blanc. The seismic motion was from north to south. TO PROBE HIGH COST OF LIVING United States Commissioner of Labor Has Two Investigators Busy in Kansas. Topeka, Kansas.—Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor has returned to Washington after having mapped out for two assistants an investigation in Kansas into high cost of living and the causes that have brought it about. The commissioner, in answer to questions, said he was unable to say just what would be done with the information collected in Kansas. He stated, however, that the investigation of conditions would be thorough. "In a few years," Mr. Neill added, "the fertility of the soil will be a larger question in this state than it now is. The farmers will bend their efforts to increase the crop yield rather than to increase the acreage." OPOSSUM BITE KILLED FARMER Blood Poison Developed From Trifling Wound—Hunters Often Bitten With No Bad Results. Jefferson City, Missouri.—Joseph Eveler, a farmer 22 years old, died here from blood poisoning caused from the bite of an opossum. The bite, seemingly a trifling wound on the hand, caused the young man no immediate concern, but later it became greatly inflamed and baffled medical skill. The bite of an opossum is not considered dangerous. Although great numbers of them are caught every year in this vicinity and bites are frequent, owing to the freedom with which hunters handle such game, yet no serious consequences were ever previously known to result. Two Killed In a Mine. Joplin, Mo.—While operating a steam drill in the John L. zinc mine at Webb City, Custer Roswell and Carl Throgmorten were buried beneath several tons of dirt that fell from the roof of a drift in which they were working. Fifty men worked three hours removing the debris before their bodies were recovered. Roads Oppose Canal Line. Washington, D. C.—Alleged opposition of trans-continental railroads to the financing of an independent steamship line to operate through the Panama canal, between Atlantic and Pacific coast terminals, is to be the subject of an inquiry by the senate committee on interstate commerce now siting in Washington. An Avery Plant Burned. Peoria, Illinois.—The Avery Manufacturing company, makers of traction engines and threshing machinery, suffered a loss of approximately $150,000 by a fire which consumed a block and a half of their structures here. Want Fine Reduced Chicago—That the supreme court of Missouri will be asked to modify the $50,000 fine imposed last week on the International Harvester company of America, has just been announced here. To Start St. Joseph Line. Liberty, Mo.-Fourteen cars of equipment with which the work on the Kansas City, Clay County and St. Joseph electric line will be started, are in Liberty and will be taken to Stockdale at once.

LAST QUARREL A TRAGEDY LAST QUARREL A TRAGEDY FORCED MARRIAGE ENDS IN DEATH FOR BOTH PARTIES. Nevada, Missouri.—A forced marriage 12 years ago has now ended in the murder of Mrs. C. C. Allison and the suicide of her husband, at their home near Walker, Mo. Five small children are left orphans by the tragedy. A quarrel, the last of a series of disagreements strung out over their married life, led up to the murder and suicide. It was the question of whether a fire should or should not be built. Allison desired to build a fire in the grate. Mrs. Allison said he should not and said if he built it she would leave him. Allison started to built the fire in the grate and Mrs. Allison left the house and ran toward the home of a neighbor. Allison ran after her, caught her and dragged her back to the house. There was a struggle and Allison snatched up a revolver and sent a bullet into his wife's temple. Then, in the effort to end his own life, he fired three bullets into his own head. The children ran crying to the home of neighbors and told them of the tragedy. When neighbors arrived both Mrs. Allison and her husband still were alive. She died within an hour, however, and her husband died several hours later. Allison and Mrs. Allison were members of families widely known in Walker. Much of the trouble between them, it is said there, was due to attempts of Allison's relatives to persuade him to leave the woman he was forced to marry. Apparently, however, he loved his wife, but their frequent quarrels, because of outside interference, unbalanced him and led up to the tragedy. SHOT OVER DIVISION OF ESTATE Trouble Started When One of the Heirs Attempted to Buy Out All the Others. Rolla, Mo.—Jesse W. Brown, constable of Rolla township, while he had in his custody Joe Clark, shot and killed Lum Riley, on the main business street of Rolla. The trouble first began in the division of the C. W. Riley estate in Marles county, of which Joe Cook and Lum Riley are both heirs. A fierce fight ensued in which Cook cut Riley very badly about the neck and body. Riley was taken to a doctor's office, where his wounds were dressed and Cook was arrested by Constable Brown. Riley declared he would kill Cook before he left town. Immediately upon his leaving the doctor's office Riley saw Cook across the street and he rushed at him with his knife open. Cook jumped from the sidewalk and got out of his way. Riley followed, cutting and slashing at him when Constable Brown sprang between them, caught Riley and commanded him to stop. Riley threw his knife up in the air as though he was going to attack Brown and Brown shot and killed him. Call's Airship Flew Girard, Kan.—Henry Laurens Call's airship got 50 feet into the air at last, then the operator, being new at the business, shut off the engine and the machine tumbled to the ground and was demolished. The operator escaped injury. Wilbur H. Hill is Dead. Burlington, Iowa.—Wilbur H. Hill, nephew of J. J. Hill, chairman of the board of the Great Northern and assistant to Darius Miller, president of the C. B. & Q. railway, died of pneumonia at Mercy hospital here. Ends Life to Escape Scandal. Wichita, Kansas.—Clyde Baldwin, young and wealthy, of Atlanta, Kan., committed suicide because officers had a warrant charging him with being too intimate with a young woman of the neighborhood. GENERAL REYES IS ARRESTED Ten Other Revolutionists Taken on Texas Soil and Ammunition Confiscated. San Antonio, Tex—Gen. Bernardo Reyes of Mexico, who is alleged to have been leading a movement for the overthrow of President Madero, was arrested here by United States officers on an indictment returned at Laredo, charging him with violation of the neutrality laws. Following the arrest of General Reyes, ten others were arrested on the Mexican side of the border. Four cases of ammunition were seized. In speaking of his arrest General Reyes said: "I consider it persecution, and the animus is not hard to find. "If for no other reason than that my arrest will clarify my situation, I am glad it has come to pass. The culmination of the efforts of my enemies has come and I am ready to meet any accusation." It was reported from an authentic source that General Reyes and his friends drew $50,000 in cash from a local bank and that they intended to use the money for what was meant to be their hasty departure from Mexico. This departure is believed to have been forestalled by the general's arrest. FOR USING CANCELED STAMPS Daughter of Wealthy Founder of Braymer, Mo., Under Arrest—Pleads Not Guilty. Braymer, Missouri—Miss Stella Braymer, daughter of Daniel Braymer, one of the founders of the town of Braymer, and one of the richest men in Caldwell county, was arraigned before A. S. VanValkenborgh, United States judge, at Kansas City, charged with using canceled stamps for postage. She pleaded not guilty and was released on a $500 bond signed by her brother, George E. Braymer. An indictment was returned by the recent federal grand jury charging Miss Braymer with using canceled postage stamps. Miss Braymer, it is charged, used the canceled stamps in her private correspondence. She is heir to an estate valued at $150,000. Miss Braymer, who is 35 years old, is prominent in social and club circles here and took her attorney to Kansas City with her after the arrest. HUTCHINSON MURDER MYSTERY Hutchinson, Kansas.—A murder in a deserted house was brought to light here by a woman who was camping with her husband near the house. She had gone to the deserted building to see if it could be made inhabitable and found the body of a man lying in the cellar. An old singletree from a cultivator lay near, one end blackened with dried blood. He had evidently been robbed. A farmer's wife identified the man by his clothes as one of two who had stopped at her house Saturday afternoon, November 11. The officers are searching for the second man. Tell How to Plant Trees Garden City, Kansas.—C. A. Scott, state forester, concluded here an investigation for an official bulletin soon to be issued on tree planting in western Kansas. He laid out a plan at the Garden City experiment station of the government and state for tree planting. Farmers to Organize. Guthrie, Ok.-A state convention has been called for Shawnee November 21, for the purpose of organizing a state union of the Farmers' Society of Equity, an association of farmers principally in the North. Buys Shells Abroad Washington—The army ordnance bureau has been obliged to go abroad to place, a contract for 100 armor piercing shells for the big 14-inch guns now being turned out. The contract goes to an English firm. AT THE WICHITA THEATRES. Jan Kubelik, the great Bohemian violinist, who comes to the Forum on Jan. 22 for a single concert under the management of Simon Bushhalter, makes his fourth and farewell tour in America during the coming season, 1911-1912. Since his last tour Kubelik has risen to unchallenged pre-eminence in his art, the maturity and musicianship prophesied by the brilliant achievements of his youth having been fully realized In the eleven years which have elapsed since his first visit to America, Kubelik, according to the joint claims of musical nations, has arisen from the position of the most astonishing prodigy in the history of the violin, to absolute supremacy with his chosen instrument. At 27, an age when most men are beginners at their life work, he stands a master. Americans were among the first to recognize his prodigious talent in its immaturity and Kubelik is happy to be able to return to the new world this season and give them the benefit of his perfected art. As showing the progress Kubelik has made in his art since his earlier appearances in America, the remarks of a well known critic of New York [Picture of a man with wavy hair, wearing a suit and a bow tie.] Peasant Boy Weds Countess. on the first concert of the present tour are undoubtedly of some weight, especially as the same unanimity of opinion seems to prevail, not only in New York, but in Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Omaha, Denver and other western cities, among the writers of the daily press. "Those who have seen a Paderowski demonstration may have thought the gamut of excitement run, but those who saw and heard at the Hippodrome Sunday night know that larger crowds can be swayed by the wrister of a violin string. Kubelik was the sensation of the hour, and far beyond a sensation, for he is a great artist. There is no one whose playing stands in the same category as Kubelik's. The purity and wooling quality of his tone, the wonderful agility of his left hand, the manner in which the music floats away from his violin, make of him a figure unique in the world of artists." Shortly after Kubelik's first American tour occurred the culmination of his romance—one of the prettiest in the annals of love. He was married to the beautiful Countess Szaky-Czell, son of one of the oldest families of the Hungarian nobility. Thus the boy born in a modest peasant's cottage became master of an ancient castle and far-spreading estate, Kubelik's subsequent domestic life has been as idyllic as its beginning was romantic. Four daughters have been born to the couple, the first two twins. For tickets address Simon Buchhalter, 515 Butts Bldg., Wichita, Kans. "The Melting Pot"—Lyceum Beginning Monday, Nov. 27, North Bros. Stock Co., will present at the Lyceum theatre, Israel Zangwill's great play, "The Melting Pot." This is the same play that was presented in Wichita during the opening week at the Forum last February. By special arrangements with the owners, Manager North is enabled to offer the play in its entirety at the Lyceum and at the popular Lyceum prices. This should prove the dramatic event of the local theatrical season, as it is very seldom that a play that is such a recent success is available for stock production. Mr. Walker Whiteside, who has been featured in the play during its American production, is a personal friend of Mr. Spurrier, leading man of the North Bros. Stock Co. Mr. Spurrier will play the same part in the local production that Mr. Whiteside played with the road attraction. Every effort will be made by the management to make the production of "The Melting Pot" one long to be remembered in local theatrical circles. The attraction will run for one week, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees. Not His Habit. One of the best things W. S. Gilbert said was about Rutland Barrington, whose portly, unctuous humor was such an inimitable addition to the old D'Olyy Carte company During the premiere of a new opera Gilbert was in a box with a party of friends, one of whom turned to him excitedly and said: "Oh, Mr. Gilbert Rutland Barrington is singing in tune." "Oh, don't worry about that," said Gilbert "it's only first-night nervousness—he'll get over it." Prejudice Is a Serious Menace Prejudice is a hard thing to overcome, but where health is at stake and the opinion of thousands of reliable people differs from yours, prejudice then becomes your menace and you ought to lay it aside. This is said in the interest of people suffering from chronic constipation, and it is worthy of their attention. In the opinion of legions of reliable American people the most stubborn constipation imaginable can be cured Cawley Pepsin. You may not have heard of it before, but do not doubt its merits on that account, or because it has not been blatantly advertised. It has sold very successfully and had a health recompensation. Parents are given their children today who were given it by their parents, and it has been truthfully said that more drugsugars use it than their families than any other laxative. Letters recently received from Mr. Frank Adams, 1413 E. 9th St. Wichita, Kas, and Carrie Nichol, Ashland, Kas. He and his team are making the esteem in which Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is held. It is mild, gentle, non-griping—not violent, like a spoon. It is gentle, and pleasantly so that in time naire again does its own work without outside aid. Constipated people owe it to have to use this grand bowel specimen. Constipation Vanishes Forever Prompt Relief—Permanent Cure CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS never fail.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA The American Thanksgiving Dinner and Its Cost S the dinner is decidedly the most important feature of the program, for, of course, there is no football game and no matinee such as many Americans rely upon for Thanksgiving diversion, and in the case of many of the exiles who observe Thanksgiving overseas there is not even a Thanksgiving religious service such as is universal at home. It is not merely, either, that the officers and men of our army and navy have introduced the Yankee Thanksgiving dinner to benighted lands long in ignorance of its delights. To be sure the epileptic bluejackets and the lads in khakha have been responsible for much of this gastro-nomic "missionary work," but it is also a fact that American diplomatic and consular officials, and indeed all classes of Americans resident abroad, have done their share to preserve all the traditions of the Thanksgiving dinner as a reality in every transplanted home. Especially, where there is a little "American colony" in an alien environment, is the Thanksgiving dinner right feaully guarded. But whereas the American Thanksgiving dinner has been winning its way around the world it has likewise come to enjoy more and more prestige at home. The one jarring note in any present-day eulogy of the Thanksgiving dinner is to be found in its greatly increased cost over the expense involved for a corresponding menu a few years since. No person who grasped the import of the "high cost of living" issue in the recent political campaign can fail to realize that the matter is a very grave one to the average housekeeper, and especially when it obtrudes itself in connection with a holiday repast which ought to be an occasion for care-free feasting instead of domestic perplexities. The one consolation, if not compensation, in this situation is to be found in the knowledge that our Thanksgiving dinners in this day, and generation are vastly better than the like holiday spread of years gone by. It is not so much that the dishes that go to make up the bill of ```markdown ``` PRIVATE MEAL THANKSGIVING DIN- fare for the November holiday have been greatly increased in number or variety. Your hearty diner demands on Thanksgiving the essentials such as turkey and celery and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, which were the stand-bys of the feast in the days of his father and his grandfather before him. The point is that some of the eatables are unquestionably more flavor than were their counterparts of several decades ago, and—with all due respect to the kind that mother used to make—some of the modern recipes seem to put it all over the old-timers in garnishes and the preparation of puddings and pastry, etc. And, speaking of the changes that have come about, take the case of the toothsome turkey, headliner of the whole holiday menu. It would be futile to try to convince the high liver of the twentieth century who revels in his milk-fed or chestnut-fed turkey from Rhode Island or the middle west, that his forefathers ever enjoyed anything so delicious. Certainly turkeys have increased in size, too, judging by the average weight those that find their way to market. However, this latter development is clearly traceable to the tendency of turkey raisers to devote themselves almost exclusively to the Bronze, the largest of the six standard varieties of turkeys. However, there are two sides to this turkey story, and the housewives who preside over small families are the ones who have had brought home to them the disadvantageous side of this boom in the size of turkeys. With the big bronze birds weighing from 16 to 36 pounds apiece—and usually nearer the latter than the former figure—crowding the market it is becoming every year more difficult for the buyer of a family of two or three people to find a satisfactory six, seven or eight pound turkey. It really begins to look as though the small families would be driven to hotels on Thanksgiving or else be compelled to take in boarders or entertain all their friends at the holiday dinner. Turkey buying, too, is the phase of the Thanksgiving marketing where the increased cost of living most severely pinches the man with the stationary income. A dweller in any of our large cities may consider himself decidedly in luck these days if he succeeds in getting a tender turkey at Thanksgiving for 25 cents per pound, and he is much more likely to be asked any figure up to 38 or 40 cents per pound, which prices have prevailed every Thanksgiving in recent years in the New York and Boston markets for the cholest birds. The people of the central west have an advantage over eastern turkey eaters, because TEADILY growing in significance year by year and in the fame of its appetizing attributes the American Thanksgiving dinner has become very much of an institution. It might almost be said that it has become more of an institution than the American Thanksgiving, itself. At least if the feast does not overshadow the holiday at home it does in foreign parts. For, be is known, the American Thanksgiving dinner is now eaten "around the world," and in these detached reals of American soil or sentiment Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and other states along the backbone of the country are the great centers of the turkey industry, although it will doubtless surprise some of our readers to duck or goose for the fowl. The cost is not nation equally great-freed himself from giving without turk giving. Then, too, vegetarians and per diet of nuts or other devised some very Thanksgiving dinner even simulate the However, these newly be recommended amounts of nuts an learn that Texas leads all the other states in the Union in the number of turkeys produced. Proximity of the market to the rural district whence it draws its supply of holiday fowls is a highly important consideration nowadays, because the mistress of a city home can no longer purchase her Thanksgiving turkey from a farmer who drives up to her door marketing the products of his own farm. All the turkeys are handled nowadays through commission merchants, which means, of course, that there is a middleman's profit to be paid by the ultimate consumer. Another secret of the present high prices of turkeys is found in the fact that the live birds are shipped long distances. If they are transported by express the expense is considerable, and if they make the journey by freight the trip is nearly as costly, inasmuch as the live birds are sent by freight only in carload lots, which involves Menu of First Thanksgiving Feast What did our Purlitan ancestors dine on at their first Thanksgiving feast? Surely they did not set the standard which is being followed today on the Thanksgiving dinner menus. We know that some things were lacking that they must have greatly missed. There could have been no butter, cream, milk, cheese, or any dish that is principally made with milk, because there were no cows in New England until 1623, when John Winthrop, later their worshipful governor, brought over four cows from England. The butter and cheese that they took with them on the Mayflower were long since consumed. I hardly think they had chicken pie for the feast, for the fowls were served as a rare delicacy for the sick. They could have had eggs for their pies and puddings. Since they raised pumpkins they might have had pumpkin pies, if they made them with water. mouth, and the Indians went out and shot a large number of them, and made them their contribution to the feast. Governor Bradford says in his history that they were delicious to eat. How fitting it is that the bird that is the crowning glory of our Thanksgiving board should have been the favorite meat of that historic first Thanksgiving dinner! There were, doubtless, onions, beets, parsnips, cabbage or colewort, squash, and perhaps other vegetables, for a good variety of seeds were brought over from Holland. Perhaps there was succotash, and the Indians must have made it, for it was something that the Pilgrim cooks had never heard of before, and we know that they learned later from the Indians how to make it. Now, what did they have for dessert, I wonder? I think they may have had some sort of pudding with huckleberries for plums. I doubt if they had much sweetening for their pudding and pumpkin In the ocean there was great abundance of fish, oysters, and other shellfish. Of course, there was none of their national dish, prime roast beef, no veal, lamb, mutton or pork. There was plenty of deer, which would be a good substitute in vension. But they had one thing that we like better than anything else on Thanksgiving day. Wild turkeys were very abundant in the woods and fields about Ply- Owing to the mounting prices of turkey and an occasional shortage of supply - although there is no prospect of a turkey famine this year - has induced an increasing number of fam- duck or goose for the regulation Thanksgiving fowl. The cost is much less and the satisfaction equally great—once a householder has freed himself from the tradition that Thanksgiving without turkey would not be Thanksgiving. Then, too, the increasing number of vegetarians and persons who have adopted a diet of nuts or other meat substitutes, have devised some very ingenious proxies for the Thanksgiving dinner—non-meat dishes that even simulate the appearance of a turkey. However, these new-fangled dishes can scarcely be recommended as cheap, owing to the amounts of nuts and the number of eggs the recipes call for. In the face of soaring prices in so many food lines, it is gratifying to note one Thanksgiving indispensable, the cost of which remains virtually unchanged. This is our old friend, the pumpkin, dear to youth and old age alike, in the form of the pumpkin ple. No person has ever attempted to "corner" the pumpkin crop, and probably no person ever will undertake such a miracle. The fact that the great golden globes with their luscious "dillin'" can be raised in every section of the United States, and that, too, without any trouble, once the vines are planted, is doubtless responsible for the moderate prices that always prevail. Probably there is no town or city in the country where a good-sized pumpkin cannot be purchased for 50 cents, and in most American markets one may buy a small pumpkin—an orb of joy with ammunition sur- thanksgiving Feast mouth, and the Indians went out and shot a large number of them, and made them their contribution to the feast.

I doubt if they had much sweetening for their pudding and pumpkin ples, as their stock of sugar and molasses was very limited. Perhaps they had a substitute. There were fine wild grapes in the woods, and they had doubtless dried a store of wild strawberries, cherries and plums. They surely did not have any mince ples, since the Pilgrims thought mince ples were very wicked, and savored of Romanism. So they condemned those who afterward made and ate them. these who are not the rental of a special type of car for the journey and pay for the services of a man who is sent along to feed the birds en route. ficient for at least a couple of ples—for the modest sum of four or five cents. The newspapers have given prominence this year to the exploit of an Indiana farmer who has raised a pumpkin as large around as a wagon wheel and weighing 150 pounds. However, the record in pumpkin growing is claimed by a Colorado planter, who gets credit for producing a few years ago a pumpkin weighing more than 300 pounds. Cranberries are a Thanksgiving commodity the price of which fluctuates widely in different years. And yet we feel that we must have them, almost without regard to price, for if Thanksgiving is incomplete without the turkey, certainly the turkey is incomplete without the cranberry sauce. Cranberries are cultivated to any extent in only three states, namely, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and New Jersey, and the producing area being thus restricted it naturally follows that when there comes a lean year the shortage of the ruddy ber- ries is quickly reflected in the price. However, cranberries are never so very much of an extravagance because it requires such a modest portion to make up a batch of cranberry sauce. When cranberries are plentiful they sell wholesale as low as $2 per barrel, but a few years ago, when there was a cranberry famine, the price went as high as $20 per barrel. The business side of the problem of supplying a Thanksgiving dinner for the American people is by no means the least interesting phase of this subject. The city of Chicago alone receives during the week or ten days before Thanksgiving as many as half a million turkeys, valued in the aggregate, at wholesale prices, at much more than a millions dollars. From Cape Cod, Mass., the greatest cranberry growing district, there is shipped each autumn more than one-third of a million car loads of cranberries, and the major portion of this harvest finds its way to Thanksgiving dinner tables. Many car loads of celery from Michigan and other states swell the total cost of our Thanksgiving dinner to millions. The Cat's Thanksgiving Soliloquy I'm just about tired of waiting For my Thanksgiving treat; I see them about the table, And they eat, and eat, and eat. They do not think of poor pussy, Who has had so long to wait; Why doesn't some one remember That it's growing very late. And haven’t I smelt that turkey Since into the oven it went? If they’d give just one drumstick, Why, then I’d be content. But no, they sit there talking And laughing aloud with glee; I wish that some one among them Would throw down a bone to me. There’s that greedy little Teddy, Three times he’s passed his plate; And that turkey’s growing smaller At a very rapid rate. And see Jack's face! 'Tis shining With gravy up to his eyes. I wonder they take no notice When they hear my hungry cries. Oh, dear! There's dessert to follow, The puddings and pumpkin ples And the fruits and nuts and candy, And oh, how fast times files! Ah, there's gentle little Ethel, She's so loving and so kind. She's bringing me some turkey bones And a grateful cat she'll find. FRANK H. SWEET.

JUST MAKING OUT A CASE Uncle Jeth Had Deep Reason for Occupation That Was Seemingly Unprofitable. John Collier, the secretary of New York's board of moving picture censors, said the other day: "It's no good getting up objectionable picture plays. We never pass them. In fact, we turn them down so invariably that it seems to me the composers of such plays are animated by a spirit of perversity. They remind me of old Uncle Jethro Husk. "Uncle Jethro sat fishing on the bank of a tiny rivulet when a stranger stopped beside him and said: "Is it possible that there are any fish in such a small stream as that?" "No, there ain't none," Uncle Jethr grunted. "But you're fishing!" "My object," said Uncle Jeth, "is to show my wife I ain't got no time to sift the ashes." Heathen Nations Invent Nothing. Bishop Thoburn who has been a missionary in India for 50 years, and knows India better than any other living American, says: "If you visit the patent office at Washington, you will see 600 improvements on the plow. India has not invented one improvement on the toothpick in 2,000 years. The nations without God have no inventive faculty. They are almost universally the savage, unenlightened nations of the earth."

Must Have the Kind of Food That Nourishes Brain. "I am a literary man whose nervous energy is a great part of my stock in trade, and ordinarily I have little patience with breakfast foods and the extravagant claims made of them. But I cannot withhold my acknowledgment of the debt that I owe to Grate-Nut food. "I discovered long ago that the very bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not calculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate thinking. I always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as well as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to the digestive apparatus. "I tried foods easy of digestion, but found them usually deficient in nutriment. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they, too, proved unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape-Nuts. And then the problem was solved. "Grape-Nuts agreed with me perfectly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutriment that so many other prepared foods lack. "I had not been using it very long before I found that I was turning out an unusual quantity and quality of work. Continued use has demonstrated to my entire satisfaction that Grape-Nuts food contains the elements needed by the brain and nervous system of the hard working public writer."

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 Strassburg acquired a universal reputation.

They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. 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 in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising count of gayeyes. They eat, drink and amerry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and plashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world.

Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Norien's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica. in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unknown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto least in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its senith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown cultures. No pottery of any other anthology was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, as numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly marvelous weave; in beauty of decadence richness of color and finesse of texture no fabric of to-day amenities is Title. Blessings to Everyone.

We little think when those soft songs are sung how their soft strains shall sweetly lift through the doubt and gloom of many a dreary day. The pageants of the world pass quickly by. The glories of the age are born and fade again to nothingness. Each man's view of life is as a glance through a fast revolving kaleidoscope. We strain and struggle at this game, success; our fancies born of last night's dreams are died of age before the sun has set; our loftiest strivings of today are tomorrow all forget, and we, like careless children, soon are steeped in some new schemes of power or gain or pleasure. How is it, then, that through all the changing years we still hold some ideals unchanged? After a man's moral rating is made his value to the is Judged by what he has accomplish. And in a final analysis what he has accomplished usually reduces itself to dollars and cents. With this fact in mind it is well to remind ourselves of what our business enterprise stand for to ourselves and the world at large. By business we speak directly of commercial interchange. Its value is almost instimable. No man can rise or fall alone, every individual is much too closely interwoven with the general woof. Thus so the development of our business enterprises spells succes or failure for us individually and collectively. To Pe Continued Her Criticism. The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has bad such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a connotseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real life into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitatingly. "It's nice, but it head's loose."

A carload of grain in straw, grasses and other of the products of Western Canada arrived at Chicago the other day, and is now installed in the Coliseum, where the United States land and irrigation exposition is under way. Those who are interested in the "Back to the land movement" will find in the Canadian exhibit one of the best displays of the agricultural products of Western Canada that has ever been made. There are representative men there, who will be pleased to give the fullest information regarding the country. The exhibit shows what can be done on the free grant lands of that country and most of the grain was produced on the farms of former residents of the United States who have taken advantage of the homestead lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The vegetable exhibit will attract a great deal of attention, and some marvelous potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage and cauliflower are shown. It is true that the homestead area is being rapidly taken up and the bulk of that now to be had lies north of the Saskatchewan river in a portion of the country known as the park country. Here there is a large quantity of open prairie interspersed by beautiful groves of poplar and willow. Water is in abundance, hay is plentiful and consequently fodder for animals is right at hand. Those who have taken advantage of farming in these districts and watched the efforts of those in the prairie proper feel that they have the advantage of their brother, who is not able to secure fuel and the other conveniences of the park district on his own farm. The crop conditions throughout Western Canada the past year have been generally good, and some wonderful crop yields of wheat, oats and barley are recorded. The Canadian Government, under whose auspices the exhibit spoken of is being made, is preparing reports on crops in the different Western Canada districts, and while these will not be ready for distribution at the land show commencing on the 18th of November and closing on Dec. 8th, application made to the Canadian Government agent nearest you will bring them to you as soon as they are published.

GET HOSTETTER'S At All Druggists REMEMBER PISO'S for COUGHS & COLDS PLUTARCH'S MISSION By DONALD ALLEN Miss Cherrie Vale, almost twenty years old, had decided ideas about suburban life. One of them was to keep a goat as a pet, comrade and friend. She had no care for a canary, parrot, dog or cat, but she did want a goat, and she wanted a name for him. Just why she called him Plutarch she never explained, but that cognomen was bestowed upon the animal generally referred to as Billy, the day she bought him in the city and had him shipped out to the village. into the parlor pre agent and make a s and was therefor prised to behold bowed and stamn said: "I was told on that you were the "Yes, sir." "Would you be price on him add" "Sir, I am not so." "No, but you see Miss Cherrie had plenty of friends. Among themselves they said a goat was a queer pet for a girl to keep around, but when any one was asked why a goat shouldn't be coddled, combed, petted and fed on the best of the land he could put forward no good objection. That the Vale goat appreciated his position in society was to be noted in his walk; that the bad boys in the village had better let him alone was shown when Miss Cherrie went for them with a horsewhip and the village constable afterwards frightened them with threats of chains and dungeons. Three months after his arrival from the city Plutarch owned the village. It was his privilege to wander where he would and be unmolested by man or beast. He took on the dignity of a governor and the exclusiveness of the president of a butter trust, and his days were full of complacency. Then came the shadow of trouble, and it soon developed into a solid substance. A new bridge was built across a creek, a steep hill graded down and a macadam road brought the autos chugging through a village which had hitherto been avoided. The dogs ran out, to be knocked down and rolled over. Some were killed and others went limping away to be wiser next time. After a few weeks Plutarch Vale was about the only living thing in the village who hadn't come to the conclusion that an auto had the right of way over everything. He hadn't been impulsive in R. W. T. A. S. Sized Things Up. his actions nor had he jumped to conclusions. He had stood at the gate and sized things up as he chewed his cud. He had recognized the fact that an auto was bigger than he was, and that it kicked up far more dust, but he was not dismayed. He was a goat, and he had never yet met anything that could stand a head-on collision with him. He would dally for awhile and then to business. Some of those who believed they could read his thoughts said he was picturing to himself a mile of highway filled with smashed autos and grooming men. Others waived Miss Cherrie that the fatal day would dawn for him, but she refused to fence him in. One Sunday morning the goat made ready for business by eating an unusually hearty meal and jumping a fence half a dozen times to get the kinks out of his legs. Then he trotled off to the public square and waited. After a quarter of an hour, during which interval he paid not the least attention to the insulting remarks of the half dozen idlers on the tavern steps, he espied an auto. There were three men in it, and they had no cause for haste. Plutarch walked to the middle of the street and posed himself. His heart did not beat one faster. The auto horn walled at him, but he did not bat an eye. The coming vehicle might have swerved from its course, but it did not. The goat might have sidestepped and saved his bacon, but he was no such goat. Head down and his tall jerking, and the collision came. The auto did not rise thirty feet into the air and come down with a kerchunk! It was the goat. But for a young man in the tonneau of the machine the auto would have passed on with dignified indifference. He ordered a stop and got down. Before him lay the huddled remains of what had once been a goat in his halcyon days. He was now smashed, frazzled, broken-pulped. Never again for him! Some men would have dropped a silent tear and passed on to kill a dog in another village, but not Fred Gleason. His inquiries as to the owner of the victim were answered, and he straightway proceeded to the residence of Broker Vale and sent his card in to Miss Cherrie. She came into the parlor prepared to find a book agent and make short work of him, and was therefore somewhat surprised to behold a gentleman who bowed and stammered, and finally said: "I was told on the public square that you were the owner of a goat." "Yes, sir." "Would you be willing to put a price on him and let him go?" "Sir, I am not selling goats!" "No, but you see—you know—" "I have a goat, but he is not for sale." "I know, but you see I—I have killed him and wish to pay damages!" "What — killed Plutarch!" hail shouted Miss Cherrie. "Yes. He was in the street and made a dive for my auto. We were going too fast to stop and—" "I will never forgive you, sir—never! He had as much right to the street as your auto. You are probably proud of the feat you accomplished. You probably chuckled over it. The wonder is that you did not sneak away after your crime!" "Miss Vale, I—I—" stammered Mr Gleason, but before he could get further she haughtily said: "It was an insult to come here and tell me you had stain my goat! I shall lay the facts before my father." With that she turned away, and the young man found his way to the front door. He had been embarrassed and confused, but he had noted that Miss Cherrie Vale had big brown eyes. chestnut hair, a handsome face and a figure to be admired. Had it been some old woman or spinster her words would have angered him, as he had done all that could be reasonably looked for, but in this case, while he felt humiliated, he kept the picture of the girl before his eyes and took a solemn vow to himself. A boy and a spade were engaged, and in a grove a quarter of a mile down the highway the remains of Plutarch were laid in their last resting place. Three days later, as Miss Cherrie stood at the gate, wondering in which direction she would walk, an auto halted, a young man raised his cap, and Mr. Fred Gleason saluted her with: "Miss Vale, I have a goat here to replace the one I killed the other day. Will you kindly look at him? He in a real angora and a great pet." The girl never raised her eyes, but turned and entered the house as if Mr. Fred Gleason did not exist. On the evening of the second day after, Mr. Vale came home from the city to say: "Say, dear, the young man who killed your goat has got me going. He wants to make good and he is asking me if you would accept of this or that Better take a camel or giraffe and call it square." A week later the father telephoned that he would bring a friend to dinner, and when he arrived the friend proved to be the goat killer. The smile faded from Miss Cherrie's face at once, but the father laughed in his jovial way and pinched her cheek and said: "Mr. Gleason is here to provide Plutarch with a grave stone and an epitaph. There's just time to fix it up between you before dinner, and then we can attend the funeral in a body." Dinner was delayed half an hour by the "fixing up," but when the young people came to the table at last both were smiling, and it was while the two were down in the grove, later on, at the grave of the goat that dared an auto, the broker said to his wife: "Wouldn't it be funny if the killing of that old goat was foreordained so as to provide us with a son-in-law before Cherry gets to be an old maid?" Qaint Little Bets. Daring wagers between army officers are now far less common than in the "good old days." In a regimental betting book of the early 50s can still be read the entry: "Mr. Wroughton bets Mr. Johns one bottle of port that Mr. Johns will be drunk before five nights from this date." To this there is the significant addition: "Lost by Mr. Johns (et nulus error)." More humorous is a subsequent entry: "Mr. Ewan bets Mr. Hallet one bottle of wine that he (Mr E.) will kick the apothecary o. Dundalk from one end of the town to the other"—a bet that was not decided. In 1861 a Lleut. Hayter bet Dr. Seaman that he (the lieutenant) had more hair on his head and face than the doctor, and the sequel reads: "Decided by the majority in the room, decidedly the worse for drink. Lleut. Hayter losing." Finally, there was a dramatic end to a wager made in India in 1856. A Capt. Crawford bet a Capt. Wright one bottle of champagne that neither of them would be killed in an action within twelve months from that date. The bet was never settled, for a marginal note reads: "Capt. Crawford and Capt. Wright both killed."—Answers, London. "Elfty Lucre" In Truth. The English system is to destroy all bills returning to the Bank of England, no matter how brief has been their life in circulation. In this manner they keep their money reasonably clean, but in this country we keep it in circulation until it is in tatters and incrusted with the gods only know what. The KITCHEN CABINET DISHES FOR THE SICK ROOM. The food for the invalid or convalescent is of vital importance, as often the return to health depends entirely upon the food taken to repair waste tissue. The physician's orders in regard to food should be carefully followed, as the nature of the disease from which the patient is suffering modifies the kind and amount of food taken. The following are a few that every home keeper may be glad to know how to prepare: Koumiss.—Dissolve a half a yeast cake in a half cup of tepid water. Mix it with a quart of milk, new milk if possible, and a tablespoonful of sugar. Put into bottles and tie down the corks with a stout cord. Let stand twelve hours in a warm place, then place on ice as needed. If the bottles are left upside down they are not so apt to throw out the corks, which they may do if not securely fastened. Such milk may often be taken by persons who dislike ordinary milk. Quickly Made Beef Tea.—Broll a slice of round steak for a minute on each side, then lay on a plate and score with a sharp knife, cutting only half way through. Turn and score closely on the other side at right angles. Pour hot water over the meat to half cover and set in a warm place. Turn often, pressing with a fork until the meat begins to look white. Squeeze in a meat press until quite dry, then add salt and serve either hot or cold. Broth.—Young meat of any kind is not good for broth, as it lacks flavor and is not so nourishing as well-developed animals. Allow a pound of meat and bone to a pint of cold water. Cut the meat in small pieces and have the bones cracked. After soaking for an hour let the water come slowly to a boll and allow it to simmer for three or four hours. Strain and remove all fat. Season and serve full strength or dilute to suit the taste. Chicken Custard.—Take half a cup of strong chicken broth, a half cup of rich milk, a whole egg and the yolk of an egg, salt and pepper to taste. Beat the egg, add the liquid and strain into two small cups. Set the cups in a pan of hot water and bake in a slow oven. VERY generous nature desires VERY generous nature desires to make the earning of an honest living more likely at the end of adding to the sum total of human goodness and human happiness. COMPANY DISHES. Roll a cream cheese into balls an inch in diameter, then roll in chopped pistachio nut, that has been previously blanched. Pile the balls in the center of a chop plate and surround with a wreath of orange or grapefruit marmalade. Surround the marmalade with hot toasted crackers. Serve at the close of a dinner or luncheon in place of the usual pudding. Chestnut Pudding—Wash and wipe a lemon, pare the thin yellow rind from half of it, and add it to a cup of milk; let this scald. Remove and add two eggs beaten and mixed with two level tablespoonful of sugar, one-fourth of a cup of preserved chestnuts, half a cup of bread crumbs, the juice of a lemon and a fourth of a teaspoon of salt. Mix well and cook until firm in the center. When cool spread over the top a meringue made of the whites of two eggs beaten dry and four tablespoonfuls of sugar added with a half teaspoon of vanilla. Place in the oven and brown. Ginger Ale Punch.—Melt a cup and three-fourths of sugar in a cup of lemon juice and stir in a quart of ginger ale. When the sugar is dissolved freeze to a mush. Serve in cocktail glasses with or after the meat course. Mashed Potatoes, Nantaise.—Press hot boiled potatoes through a ricer. For each quart add a teaspoonful of salt, four tablespoonfuls of butter. Add hot milk and cream to make of the right consistency, and pile into a baking dish. Brush over with white sauce and sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs. Set into a hot oven and bake until brown. C. MEASURE success by accu- cumulation. The measure is false. The true measure is appreciation. He who loves most has most. HOLIDAY CANDIES. On of the most delicious candies and very cheap to make is: Peanut Candy.—Take a pound of brown sugar and add six ounces of butter (12 level tablespoonfuls) and place over the heat, when melted, watch carefully stirring to keep it from scorching, let it boil ten minutes, not too rapidly, and then add a quart of peanuts that have been shelled and rolled until coarsely broken. Turn into a buttered pan and when cool mark in squares and cut. Wrap in waxed paper. The foundation for French candies is another simple process and if the directions are followed will be successful. To a pound of sugar add a cup of water and a fourth of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Boil without stirring until a little dropped in cold water makes a soft waxy ball when rolled between the thumb and finger. When the syrup is boiling wash down the sides of the pan with a swab dipped in cold water, to prevent the graining of the sugar. When it is tested and found sufficiently boiled pour the syrup out on a buttered slab or large platter to cool. When cool enough to bear the finger commence to stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is white and creamy. It is now ready to be flavored and molded with nuts or fruit into any desired form. Maple Sugar Candy.—Break in pieces a pound of maple sugar, put into a saucepan with three-fourths of a cup of cream and a fourth of a cup of water. Boil together until a soft ball is formed when a little is dropped in cold water. Remove from the heat and beat until creamy, adding two-thirds of a cup of broken walnut meat. Cool and mark in squares. Velvet Molasses Candy.—Take a cup of molasses, three cups of sugar, a cup of boiling water and three table-spoonfuls of vinegar, cook all together, at the first boil add a half teaspoonful of cream of tartar, when it is brittle when tried in cold water, it is ready to pour into buttered pans. When nearly cooked add a half cup of butter and a fourth of a teaspoonful of soda. HAVE learned that success HAVE learned that success is hard to achieve, much by the position that one has reached life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed. MEAT DISHES. As a variety in the preparation of meats is something the housewife is constantly aiming for, the following will be new to many: Smothered Beef—Cut a pound of lean beef in dice, season with a teaspoonful of salt, an eighth of a teaspoon of sugar and dredge with a tablespoon of flour. Cover closely and cook at least an hour. Some meat will require more time to be tender. At serving time pour off the gravy that will have gathered; add an equal bulk of water and thicken with a tablespoonful of flour rubbed to a paste in cold water. This is also excellent with the addition of vegetables. Cannelon of Beef.—Mix together a pound of uncooked beef chopped fine, the yolk of an egg, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, a teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of pepper, the juice of half an onion, and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Form into a roll six inches long and bake thirty minutes. Baste every five minutes with butter melted in a cup of boiling water. Serve with tomato sauce poured around it. Paprika Schnitzel.-Cut two pounds of thick veal steak into small pieces, roll in seasoned flour and fry brown in fat from several slices of salt pork. Remove the meat from the pan and add two tablespoonfuls of flour to the remaining fat; brown lightly and pour in gradually the strained liquor from a can of tomatoes. Add a slice each of onion and carrot, a bayleaf and a bit of mace, then return the meat to the sauce. Cover closely and simmer three-fourths of an hour. When done remove the meat, season the sauce with salt and paprika and strain on a platter. Chicken With Macaroni.—Free cold chicken from skin and bone, cut in inch bits and simmer till very tender. Cook macaroni or spaghetti to make an equal bulk, mix with cooked chicken, adding any gravity that has been left over. If not moist enough, add a little cream or milk. Cover with buttered bread crumbs and bake until hot and well browned. Nellie Macwell. Under this heading a helpful magazine issued by a Chicago grocery company instructs the reader: "For creme marron take one quart of chestnut meats, which have been skinned, stew till tender in water enough to cover them. Press through a fine sieve, add one quart of white stock, heat to a boiling point, then add ample pinch of salt, a dash of white pepper, a few drops of nutmeg, onion and celery essence, lastly, one pint of beaten cream. Color a rich green with a few drops of spinach extract." This reads a very interesting soap, but for ourselves we prefer a soap without the salt and pepper. It gets in our eyes. ```markdown ``` Keep Your Eye on that Can When Buying Baking Powder For this is the baking powder that "makes the baking better."

"Ellen," said she, sternly, "this gravy is absolutely bitter this evening." "Indade I'm sorry, mum," came in lugubrious tones from the cook. "How do you account for it, Ellen?" asked the mistress, persistent in her efforts to get at the bottom of the matter. "I can't say, mum, unless it were the tears I dropped in it, mum."

JEWISH LEADERS—Nehemiah, whe ‘pecame governor of Judea, Bzra ‘the ‘scribe had returned to Babylon. Malachi, ‘the last prophet of the Old ‘Testament, "must have been living at this time, Ezra’s home was in Babylon, Nehe- miah’s in Shushan, 250 miles further east, with fewer persons of his own nationality, and farther away from news of what was going on in Jerusa- lem. It 1s this separation of homes that explains why there was so little working together of these two men, till both had been at Jerusalem. Nehemiah was walking one day out- side the walls of Shushan, so Jose phus tells us, when “some strangers, making for the city, travel-worn as if by a long journey, were overheard by him discoursing in his own language, the Hebrew. Nothing touches the heart in a strange land more than one’s mother tongue. He went up to them, therefore, and, introducing him- self, found they were from Judah, and one was his own brother, Hanani. Naturally Nehemiah asked them about the state of things in Judea, Ho learned that Ezra’s reforms in re lation to marriages with the heathen, made the surrounding nations very bitter, The leaders on both sides |were many of them allied by mar riage, and for the Jews to repudiate ' thelr foreign wives, as if claiming to |be so much better than their neigh. ‘bors, must have infuriated them. It | struck the divorced women as a cruel and insulting outrage. Driven back to their paternal homes with thelr burning wrongs, these poor women “must have aroused the utmost indig: /nation among their people. Thus the reformer had stirred up a hornet’s “nest. | Nehemiah was a true patriot. He | was a deeply religious man, a man of | prayer and consecration, God-tearing, | true to his convictions. He showed ‘remarkable wisdom and shrewdness. If any fault is recorded of Nehe mich, it 1s one which he himself re | veals, a fault that for a long time pre | vented Alexander Whyte from’ loving him—‘“and, worst of all, I thought |him a.man who was always well | pleased with himself,” | Max Muller, in! his autobiography, _says that the story of a man, which | leaves out his faults, is like a picture deficient in shadows, and falls to bring out the bright points of his character. “We want to know hie | faults—that's probably the most in- _ teresting part of him,” certainly often | very helpful: | Charles Reade calls him: “Faithful | courtier, yet true patriot; child of luxury, yet patient of hardship; in. ventive builder, impromptu general, astute politician, high-spirited gentle. 'man, inspired orator, resolute reform: | er; born leader of men yet humble be | fore God.” | ‘The first thing, the absolutely nec lessary thing, for Nehemiah was tc ‘find divine help, wisdom, guidance, for himself, and the source of power over | the king’s mind. For this he prayed | to the only being who could answer his prayer, and he kept on praying for | four months, while the double answer | was being prepared—in himself that “he, by deep thought, and new light |and divine wisdom, might be fitted tc receive the answer, and in the king |that he might be inclined to do his | part toward the answer. ‘That for which Nehemiah prayed was like the first petitions in the Lord's prayer, “Thy kingdom come.” For his prayer was not for merely a | few people and the city that were in |danger, but for the kingdom of God (on earth, The condition of things at | Jerusalem was a dishonor to Jehovah and to his religion. | His prayer had been so far answered ‘that he knew what he had to do, and that the time had come for doing it. His prayer now at the end of four months, was for guidance and help and success in this crisis. |The answer came through and in the man who prayed. So Jesus bade his disciples to pray for more labor- ers to gather in the spiritual harvest. |The answer came through their own work in that harvest field. It came also in their being better laborers, ‘wiser, more earnest, more self-deny- ‘ing, more skilful.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES CUTICURA REMEDIES “Four years ago I had places break out on my wrist and on my shin which would itch and burn by spells, and scratching them would not seem to give any relief. When the trouble first began, my wrist and shin itched like poison. I would scratch those places until they would bleed before I could get any relief. Afterwards the places would scale over, and the flesh un- derneath would look red and feverish. Sometimes it would begin to itch until it would waken me from my sleep, and I would have to go through the scratching ordeal again. Our physician pronounced it “dry eczema.” I used an ointment which ‘the doctor gave me, but it did no good. Then he advised me to try the Cuti- cura Remedies. As this trouble has been in our family for years, and is considered hereditary, I felt anxious to try to head it off. I got the Cut!- cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and ‘they seemed to be just what I needed. “The disease was making great headway on my system until I got the Cuticura Remedies which have cleared my skin of the great pest. From the time the eczema healed four years ago, until now, I have never felt ‘any of its pest, and I am thankful to ‘the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which ‘certainly cured me. I always use the Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope ‘other sufferers from skin diseases will use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed) Irven Hutchison, Three Riv- ers, Mich.

Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to de teet a counterfeit comes not fro: study of counterfeits, but from a 11. ought and unconscious familiarity wi the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that somt day another who much resembled bin would try to impose apon 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, wo=!4 you? And the moment the impostor ap veared 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 {dly, will involuntarily throw out a fote 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 & re quest {s received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeits for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised te have the young mes study the genutne carefully, and ther Will be no trouble in detecting 1be "\t eotes.—National Magazine. REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE Progd Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, @ son of Bluff, the big bull ter Her, is the most respected dog in Flat- ‘ush, N. ¥., 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 mfld as Devory-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Utke Old King Cole: He calls 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 {t, standing on his hind feet. Soe! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn’t burn well, Z{p will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire ts Well starteé ugain he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Sam- zon. Why, we have a plano 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,” aaid the narrator, “I've got 4 dog here I would not take $100 for, You can believe me or not, but what {am going to tell you is the gospel sruth. In the early ~art of last spring { lost about a 5: very valuable sheep, until one 1 was looking across from my }' .-" to the edge of me range oppes': «hcut two miles away, I noticed sue sheep. I got my telescope, and as ured myself that they were mine. | placed the tele scope in a suitable po''ton and made Bob, our best collie, i. .nrough it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tall and mude off. In less thar two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound.” A gain om an ocean liner *xiia the following story: Coming from tie old country was @ very nervous old lady who complained that she wes sure there was 4 rat in her stateroom. “Keep it there, madam,” said the saptain, “But do you like rats?” asked ake, “I've got @ nest in my cabin,” re werted the brusque seaman, “ang 2 never disturb them When they lees the ship I do.” “Why, you must be superstitious,” arged the dame. “No, ma'am,’ wound up the captain, “Tm not, but the rats are.” Send Your News In Early This Week. --. HOW 10 MEET A LIOK BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS en, QUETTE FOR occasion, King of Beasts Falls to Realize jy Is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Avay With Becoming Dignity, be Tne etiquette to be observed wneg ® peacefully inclined tourist or oe Plorer meets a lion in the jungle described by Sir Frederick Troves, ty distinguished British surgeon, in’ nq dook, “Uganda tor a Holiday,” jun published in England. “The tourist coming to British East Africa,” he says, “Is sure to inguin as to the line of conduct that shoulg be observed when a lion ts encoun, tered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette sultable for the occasion was the fob lowing: If the lion when met Wth ig walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should be a} Jowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stops and stares at the toutist {t is proper that the tourist should ‘Shis'’ the an imal away, as he would an cbirusive Goose on a village green. Should the Mon be unmoved by this expression Of annoyance the tourist is advised to throw lump< f earth at the obtuse creature. If, a° vr “bis, the lon sti fails to realize t= + ‘s de trop, the tourist 1s recomend. « 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 {s the embodiment of blind conservatism," he writes, “Its hide {s impenetrable, its vision is weak, while its intellect 1s weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and sense of smell. It ts aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that {s new. This object need not be a thing that ts agzressivo or inconvenient. Its offensiveness de. Pends upon the fact that it is unte mfliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. “When a rhinoceros smells s man he will charge him with maniacal vio lence, although the man may be mere Jy sitting on a stool reading Milton. ‘The massive beast will dash at bin Mke | torpedo or a runaway locomo- tive simply because the smell of him fs novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innove tion, the rhinoceros has charged a fron water tank on the outskiris of » camp and has crumpled {t up asa Diacksmith would an empty meat tin. “A conservative rhinoceros with a 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 n carriage. As regards the rhinoc- ros in this case, it appearod sur prised that a thing composed, as It had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an add tional grievance and an increased swelling of the head.” Tournament on Sea Hors?» Rumor has often told us of sea horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside, Faith is, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington Day, on the north shore of Long it land, actual sea horses are dally o pering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. The strange beasts have been brought to us {rom France and are ingeniously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which {s under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an eg 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 thet selves, they are flends incarnate 0 soon as one attempts to throw a les over them. They kick and buck in manner which would appall « Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the Deach at Huntington {s a tournament tm 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 t each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins.
