Where the Emancipator Was Born Is President Accepts The Shrine For The Nation. FOURTEENTH YEAR Secure S TAFT LAUD Memorial Hall, on gensville, Ky. W cipator W. Dedic President Accepts The Afro-American Press. HODGHNVILLE, Ky., Nov. —Enshrining the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln first saw light, an imposing granite memorial to the war. President was dedicated here yesterday and accepted for the nation by President Taft. The memorial stands where the cabin it shields was originally built by Lincoln's parents. It is on the farm on which Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks settled after their long journey from Virginia. The exercises were, in a measure, a continuation of those begun day before yesterday at Frankfort, when a statue of Lincoln was unveiled in the state capitol. The ceremony here, however, marked the consummation of a nationwide movement to convert the Lincoln birthplace into a national preserve. Throngs fro mall parts of the United States witnessed the acceptance of the memorial and farm for the nation by President Taft. Former Governor Folk of Missouri, who is president of the Lincoln Farm Association, began laudation of Lincoln, and to this was added tribute by President Taft, Governor Wilson, Senator Borah and Major General Black, former commander of the Grand Army of the Republic. The great granite building occupies the site of the cabin in which Lincoln was born 102 years ago, near the center of the farm. Cut into one wall of the memorial hall are these words: "Here, over the log cabin where Abrabam Lincoln was born, destined to preserve the Union and free the slaves, a grateful people have dedicated this memorial to unity, peace and brotherhood among these states." Address of President Taft. "There is nothing so fascinating, on the one hand, and nothing so difficult on the other, as the tracing by heredity of the development of genius and real greatness," said President Taft, beginning his address. He continued: Perhaps this is because there are so few instances in history that prompt the search. The explanation of Lincoln and his wonderful character from his origin and environment is almost as difficult as the explanation of Lincoln and his wonderful character from his origin and environment is almost as difficult as the explanation of Shakespeare; but the passion of the world grows for more intimate knowledge of his personality and a deeper inquiry into the circumstances of his wonderful life. Few men have come into public prominence who came absolutely from the soil, as did Abraham Lincoln. It is difficult to imagine the lack of comfort, accommodation, and the necessities of life that there were in the cabin in which he was born. With an illiterate and shiftless father, and a mother who, though of education and force, died before he reached youth, his future was dark indeed. In the step-mother that his father found for him, however, he had a woman of strength of character and of education enough to assist him. Knew Plain People's Woes. The almost squalor in which he passed his early life made him familiar with the sufferings, thoughts and sympathies of the plain people; and, when he came to great power, his understanding of their reasoning and of their views gave him an advantage in interpreting their attitude which cannot be overstated. His evident sympathy for the colored race, his roused sense of justice in their behalf, his earnest passions to secure them freedom and equality of opportunity had their inspiration in the sufferings and limitations of his own early life. He was not slow, but he was cautious, deliberate, attentive as befitted one who insisted on establishing every proposition that he adhered to by original reasoning from fundamental postulates. The lucidity and clearness of his thought manifested itself in the simplicity, directness and clearness of his style. He had imagination and he loved poetry. He had the rythm of language, and though purely self-educated these circumstances developed a power of literary expression that the world, and SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1911. especially the literary world, has come fully to recognize and enjoy. "Mind Luminous With Truth." He was a lawyer, and a good one. He studied his cases hard, and he prepared his arguments with the force and clearness that might have been expected from one of his mental makeup. His mind was luminous with truth. His conscience was governed by devotion to right, and the tenderness of his heart was only restrained by his intellect and his conscience. The story of his dealings with McClellan, with the members of his Cabinet and with others unconscious of the great genius and heart with whom they were in personal touch exasperates the sympathetic reader and arouses a protest that vents itself in contempt toward many of those who surrounded him and yet did not measure the great nature they were privileged to know. Trials Met in His Cabinet. Seward, having been beaten by Lincoln by accident as he conceived, and feeling himself much better qualified for the presidency, did not hesitate to attempt to usurp Lincoln's functions as President, by distributing patronage in various departments until in that quiet, masterly but humorous way, Lincoln took the reins and held them to the end. With Seward, with Stanton, with Chase, he had his trials. With no knowledge of military strategy, he developed out of his own study a clearness of perception and a common-sense view of the needs of the army which makes his letters models of strategic suggestion. In the outset Mr. Lincoln encountered the difficulties that fall to the lot of any responsible head of government, difficulties which are intensified by the greatness of the issues at hand, but which all have the same characteristics when they arise from the overzeal of moral reformers. Those who had wished slavery abolished felt toward Mr. Lincoln a greater degree of hatred and contempt during the two years of his administration than even the rebels themselves. Brooking no delay, accepting every excuse as a mere pretext, they pounced upon Mr. Lincoln with emphatic denunciation and bitter attack, but he knew better than they what was necessary before he took the step of emancipation they were suppressing. Send Your News In Early This Week. The Tuskegee Negro Conference. On Wednesday and Thursday, January 17, and 18, 1912, the twenty-first annual session of the Tuskegee Institute. Wednesday, the fiest day, will be devoted to a mass meeting of the Negro people. Thursday, the second day, the annual Workers' Conference will be held. In the call for the Conference the statement is made that its purpose is "less to teach than to inspire."

Tells of the Misdreeds of the Men of Her Race.—Crime of White Men Against Negro Women. "I suppose all this hue and cry of "Lynch 'em!" "Ku-Kux 'em!" the small voice of a dissenter will not be heard, or, if heard, will be shouted down as an alienist in the cause of Southern womanhood. This woman—I am a woman—is what I would make our protection, not that to suffer as Spartan martyrs, but the courage to face such things with a nerve that must daunt the wild animal lust of a "Negro brute." You believe and I know from experience what I shall relate—that if a woman is alone and sees a Negro, she becomes frightened; he sees the condition which just his presence reduces her to, and thoughts and purposes and deeds are aroused that he would never have had but for certain knowledge of the woman's fear of him. Again, the cry of rape is started by some hysterical woman when there has never been a shadow of such, only in frenzied imagination. Are we a superior race when our womanhood, from whence a nation draws its life, is afraid in the presence of a Negro? Then broadcast such fear through the papers and reap the result. Suppress such fear and the deeds that fear reduce. ho has not noticed, after the commission of such crime, no matter how horrible the punishment meted the offender, the score that quickly follows? If lynching stops it, lynch; but it doesn't Deeper than physical fear must the blow be struck. Look at the hordes of mulatto children swarming in the cities, the towns and even the country, and say how far is the white man responsible for conditions. If he stoops to the black man woman, what then when the black man dares to lift lustful eyes to the white man's womans? Can the Anglo-Saxon exterminate the children of his own blood, half breed though they be? "Let him who is without a blemish cast the first stone." Accomplish by willing intercourse on the white man's part—brute force by the Negro—the result is the same, outraged nature and degredation of our Southern blood. Then if riot, bloodshed and extermination must come, in the name of justice, let it be by men who are fit guardians of the South's honor. I have expressed myself at considerable length, so must omit it, as possibly it would benefit no NO.33 Yours for the South's honor and justice, VARA A. MAJETTE, Jessup, Ga. —Advocate. FRANKFORT, KAN. (To the Wichita Searchlight.) A Family Reunion. A family reunion was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Montgomery, November 5, 1911, when all of the children came home, it being twenty-five years since they were all together. What a grand time was had when all gathered around the family board. All were enjoying excellent health except their father who has been very ill the past month. Their home coming seemed to change his condition, and in a few days he began to improve, which made the children happier. The sons were: Arthur, of St. Paul, Minnesota, who is employed by the Northern Pacific Railway company; Alfred, who is employed at the Commercial House at Atchison, Kansas. Lawrence receives a good salary at the Elks Club, Winfield, is employed as one of the head dining waiters at the Savoy Hotel—both of Kansas City, Mo. The daughters were: Mrs. John Johnson, of Washington; Mrs. Scott Clay, of this city, and La Medna, who is in her last year of high school, and expects to come out in the class of 1912. Dinner was served at 2:30, the table was laden with all the good things that a heart could wish for. They were all glad to meet their many friends. They will leave for their respective homes this week. Mr. Walter Rice, was dangerously hurt last Saturday in a runaway. Mr. John Johnson of Washington, spent a few days with friends last week. Mr. and Mrs. Scott Clay entertained for a few of their friends Monday evening. Mrs. Tab Howe of Chicago, is here visiting her mother, Mrs. Green Clay. Mrs. Bettie Harris, has been quite ill or the past week. Mrs. Jones Rice is visiting her daughter, Mrs. James Garner, of Kansas City, Kan. Mr. and Mrs. Sisemore were in Bigow this week, with the expectation of buying property. Mr. I. Walker of Blue Rapids, filled the pulpit Sunday morning at the C. M. E. church.

Simmer one and a half cups of raisins until tender; add the orange peel and the juice and a quart of cranberries. If needed, add more water to make a cupful of liquid. Cover and cook for ten minutes or until the berries are done. Then add two cups of sugar and simmer until thick. WAYS OF SERVING POTATOES. There are several hundred ways of serving the pomme de terre so that we need not fear monotony in serving this common vegetable. Have ready a quart of cold, cooked potatoes chopped to the size of small beans, a half a cup of tomato sifted and reduced to a thick pulp, one large green pepper freed from seeds and minced fine, one small onion minced, three tablespoonfuls of fat in which the onion and pepper is cooked until soft; then add the potato and tomato with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until dry and serve with fish or cold meat. Hashed Brown Potatoes.—Chop cold cooked potatoes rather fine, dust with salt and pepper. For each pint of potatoes have two tablespoonfuls of butter melted in a hot frying pan; spread the potatoes evenly and shake them over the fire until brown. Add a half cup of thin cream and let stand without stirring until the cream is absorbed. Roll like omelet and serve on a hot platter, garnish with sprigs of parsley. A soup that is very delicious and nourishing is made from potatoes. Cream of Potato Soup.—Pare and cook until tender four medium-sized potatoes, mash and add to the following ingredients: To a quart of milk add a slice of onion, a stalk of celery and a sprig of parsley, or only the onion may be used as a flavor. When scalding hot remove the onion and add two tablespoonfuls of butter and two of flour that have beet cooked together; strain and add the potato. Serve very hot. For extra occasions a beaten egg added just before serving adds much to the quality of the soup. Potatoes Baked With Cheese.—Put a layer of cold cooked potatoes in a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with a generous layer of grated cheese; add more potatoes and a cupful of white sauce made with two tablespoonfuls of butter and two of flour cooked until smooth, then add a cup of milk. Cook in a hot oven until the cheese is melted. O MAN or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure and good without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. CHRISTMAS CANDIES. A most delicious fruit candy that will keep for weeks is called Turkish Sweets.—Take a pound each of dates, figs and walnut meats and put through the meat chopper. Mix well with powdered sugar and a little lemon juice enough to make a paste. Roll out and cut in any desired form or pack in glasses and cover with paraffin paper. This makes a delectable filling for sandwiches or it may be used dipped in fondant or chocolate for choice bon-bons. Chocolate Caramels.—Put two and a half tablespoonfuls of butter into a kettle and when melted add two cups of molasses, a cup of sugar and a third of a cup of milk. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and when the boiling point is reached add three squares of chocolate, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted. Boll until when tried in cold water a firm ball is formed. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla just as it is taken from the fire. Wintergreen and peppermint wafers may be made by flavoring and coloring fondant and melting it over hot water so it may be dropped in small teaspoonfuls on waxed paper. Chicago Nuggets—Boil together until the soft ball stage a cup of brown and a cup of white sugar and a half cup of water, stir in a half teaspoon of soda, a teaspoon of vanilla and pour over the well beaten white of an egg. Beat until it holds its shape when dropped on a buttered sheet, add a half cup of nut meats and drop by teaspoonfuls on a buttered sheet. E STARVE each other for love's caress; We take, but we do not give; It seems so easy some soul to bless. But we do lose the love grudgingly, less and less, THE WINTER BERRY. In cooking cranberries it is well to remember that they should never be put into a tin dish. Either agate or porcelain dishes should be used. Cranberry Conserve.—Extract the juice from an orange, then cover the peeling with cold water and cook slowly until tender. Scrape out the white, bitter part and cut the peel into narrow strips with the scissors. Simmer one and a half cups of raisins until tender; add the orange peel and the juice and a quart of cranberries. If needed, add more water to make a cupful of liquid. Cover and cook for ten minutes or until the berries are done. Then add two cups of sugar and simmer until thick. **Cranberry Trifle.**—Cook a quart of berries with one plint of water until the berries pop open; rub through a sieve, return to the fire and add one pound of sugar. Stir until it is dissolved, then let boll two minutes; cool and beat until light with a wire egg beater, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Pile in a glass dish and serve. Cranberry shortcake and cranberry pie are old favorites for desserts. Baked Apples With Cranberries.—Select large, perfect, sweet apples, remove the cores and fill the cavities with thick cranberry jelly. Set the apples in a pan of water in the oven, and bake until the apples are done. Put each apple in a glass sauce dish and serve with whipped cream. Cranberry Roll.—Cream two tablespoonfuls of butter, add a cup of sugar, a half cup of cold water and two cups of flour sifted with a tablespoonful of baking powder and a dash of nutmeg. Beat until perfectly smooth, then add another cup of flour and roll out the dough to an inch in thickness. Spread thickly with jam or jelly, roll up closely, pressing the ends together. Lay on a plate and steam for three hours. Cut in slices and serve with cream. RAK PRAY you with all earnestness to prove, and know within your hearts, that all things lovely and righteous are possible for those who believe in their possibility, and who determine that for their part, they will make every day's work contribute to them. —Ruskin. SOME COMMON DISHES: The common vegetables are so often served in the same old ways until we grow tired of the monotony. Let us try: Cabbage Baked With Cheese.—Chop the cabbage and cook it in boiling salted water for half an hour or until tender; put it in layers in a baking dish, alternating with a white sauce and grated cheese, and bake just long enough to melt the cheese. Turnip and White Sauce.—Wash and slice the turnips into half-inch slices, pare and cut the slices into cubes; cook in boiling salted water until tender. Make a cup of seasoned white sauce and when the turnips are done pour off the water, turn into a vegetable dish and pour the sauce over them. Cottage Pie.—Chop cold meat to half fill a baking dish. Over the top of the meat spread mashed potato that has been warmed with a little hot milk. Mix with gravy, season to taste and put into a hot oven to thoroughly heat through. Sour Milk Gingerbread.—Take a half a cup of molasses, one-half cup of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of shortening, one cup of sour milk, one tablespoonful of ginger, half a teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of soda, and two cups of flour. Cream the shortening, add the sugar, molasses, salt and ginger. Dissolve the soda in the milk, which is now added, and lastly the flour. Beat well and bake in a flat loaf thirty to forty minutes. Carrots in Lemon Butter.-Cut the carrots in long, slender strips and lay in cold water to crisp. Cook in boiling water until tender enough to pierce with a fork. Drain, and to each plint allow a tablespoonful of butter, half a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of sugar, and a dust of cayenne. Simmer until the butter is absorbed, then add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and a tablespoon of minced parsley. Boll and serve at once. Nellie Marwell. Had Dr. Hopewell-Smith his way he would absolutely prohibit the eating of sweets between meals. He went so far in his address before the British Medical association as to say they should be rigidly tabooed by the young. Admitting that sweets had their use he emphasized the need of moderation. The abuse of sweets, like that of alcohol, tea, etc., was very widespread. They should be rigidly taooed by the young and parents should not allow their children to eat any and every kind of confectionery. Sweet factories should be under rigid state control and all confectioners shops and their wares should be subject to examination by government inspectors. Only absolutely pure sweets should be sold and those under the most hygienic conditions possible.

"The Melting Pot"—Lyceum For the week commencing Nov. 27 North Bros. Stock Co. is offering as the attraction at the Lyceum theatre the great dramatic success, "The Melting Pot," as presented here last February by Walker Whiteside and company at the Forum. The production at the Lyceum is guaranteed in every way equal to the production offered at the Forum. No expense has been spared and people who were unable to see the play at the Forum, will see equally as good a production at the Lyceum, and at less than half the price. Regular matinees will be given Wednesday and Saturday with a special matinee Thanksgiving Day. PICK ODD NOOKS FOR NESTS Swallows Are Cunning Builders But Sometimes Select Precarious Sites for Homes. Swallows are diligent and cunning builders of nests, but they are not always wise in their choice of a locality. In proof of this a couple of birds last year chose a secluded corner among the rafters of my barn and managed to hatch and rear their young successfully. This year a couple, probably the same, repaired the nest and laid their eggs. But one morning both birds were found lying dead on the floor, the windows having been closed and the door locked by a too careful servant. A favorite place for a swallow to build its nest is the upper corner of a window. This situation is to say the least precarious, as an energetic housemaid has merely unintentionally or otherwise to draw down the sash and the nest is at once in ruins. I remember once quite unintentionally acting the part of the energetic housemaid. I drew down the sash and managed just in time to save the structure from falling to pieces. Supporting it with my hands, I told one of my boys to bring his schoolbag, and having fastened it securely to the window, deposited therein the remains of the nest and the young family of birds. The parents were shy at first, but on closer investigation, having satisfied themselves that their little ones were still alive, they accommodated themselves to the situation and brought up their family in the usual way, sending them at length into the world doubtless all the wiser for their nurture in this abode of learning. A similar misfortune happened this summer to a swallow's nest in the window of a cottage in the Cheviot hills. This time the nest was almost totally destroyed, but help came from a probably unlooked-for quarter. The dismayed cries of the feathered builders attracted their companions, who flocked around in large number and rendered every assistance in repairing the damage. The Scotsman. Use of Checks In France. The governor of the Banque de France has just sent to the director of the departmental branch offices a circular instructing them about the use of crossed checks. The Temps in publishing these instructions points out the advantage of the English method of employing checks and then shows how the French system of making payments immobilizes capital unproductively in purse, drawer or bank, whereas these sums converted into checks would be profitable not only to their owner but also for the bank which employs them. While the Bank of France has to face a bank note circulation of 5,000,000,000 francs and the monetary stock is 214 francs 75 centimes per head of the contributions, England with a greater amount of business has a bank note circulation of 698,000,000 francs and a monetary stock of 84 francs 58 centimes. BROWNING WAS NOT A SNOB When a Cook Came to See Some Pictures He Offered Her His Arm. A trivial anecdote occurs to me which has nothing to do with the "Countesses" who were supposed to absorb Mr. Browning overmuch. It appeared that on one occasion Mr. Browning's son had hired a room in a neighboring house in which to exhibit his pictures. In the temporary absence of the artist, Mr. Browning was doing the honors, the room being half filled with fashionable friends Mr. Browning was standing near the door when a visitor, unannounced, made her appearance; he immediately shook hands with the stranger, or tried to do so, when she exclaimed: "Oh, I beg your pardon, sir, I'm the cook. Mr. Barrett asked me to come and see his pictures." "And I am very glad to see you," said Mr. Browning, with ready courtesy. "Take my arm and I will show you around." —Mrs. Andress Crossee, "Red Letter Days of My Life." Uncle Eben.

NOVEL TOMATO SALAD NOVEL TOMATO SALAD SOME SUGGESTIONS THE HOUSE WIFE WILL APPRECIATE. Icy Coldness, Careful Skinning and Marinating Are Essentials of Good Salad—Some Recipes Worth One's Consideration. The essentials of a good tomato salad are ice coldness, careful skinning, and marinating. Prepare early enough in the day to keep in the refrigerator for three hours before using, and for half an hour at the end soak in a thick emulsion of French dressing, though mayonnaise is to be used on the salad proper. If a tomato skins easily do not put it in hot water. With some varieties this will be possible, especially if the tomato be very cold and a sharp knife is used. The usual custom is to pour boiling water over the tomatoes, let stand a half minute, then peel with blunt silver knife and put at once on the ice. Tomatoes take the flavor of their dressing so much better when sliced that many salads are prepared in sections, cut in lengthwise pieces, four or six to a tomato, according to size. Serve on a nest of lettuce or arrange as a border around shredded lettuce with a narrow outer border of white lettuce hearts. Dot with mayonnaise. The whole tomato is so hard to eat that it is more often used as a cup than any other way. The fillings are endless and various odds and ends of vegetables can be utilized. Especially good is one of cold peas highly seasoned with plenty of butter and mixed with a few capers. Cold corn dressed with plenty of butter, cayenne, salt, and a little whipped cream makes a novel filling and served with rich mayonnaise is excellent. Cold spaghetti cut into small pieces and dressed with a highly spiced tomato sauce looks pretty and tastes good in a tomato cup, or the paste can be dressed with cream sauce and mixed with grated parmesan and chopped pimolas. Shrimp and shredded green peppers make an artistic filling, or green peppers and shredded celery. Equally effective are asparagus tips and tiny pearl onions. Remnants of chicken can be made into a nice salad filling by running it through a chopper, then season highly, and mix to a paste as for sandwich filling with a little whipped cream. Dot the top with anchovies or shredded green peppers. Minced ham mixed with mayonnaise is as good in tomato cups as it is on croutons or sandwiches. If hard-bolled egg—yolk—is run through a vegetable press and dotted over the top of the cup it makes a pretty coloring. Another good filling consists of tiny button onions, boiled until soft, made icy cold and mixed with mayonnaise. This is far less painful to the bystander than the shredded onion so often used. A novel salad is a small tomato, cut almost through in lengthwise sections, with minced cress peeping from the cuts. The tomato is only cut enough so it will hold together and the cress is marinated in French dressing. The tomato is then set on a round of canned pineapple, which rests on a tender lettuce leaf, the whole being garnished with mayonnaise. A delicious salad is made from sections of tomatoes marinated in French dressing, served on lettuce leaves and sprinkled thickly with very crisp bacon, cut into small shreds. Mayonnaise can be passed. Carrots Flemish Style. Wash and scrape a bunch of young carrots and cut each one into quarters. Cook in salted boiling water for ten minutes and then drain. Melt an ounce of butter in a saucepan, put in the carrots, sprinkle them with flour, salt and pepper and a pinch of sugar and toss them about for five minutes. Stir in a half pint of meat stock and let simmer on the back of the stove for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring. As soon as the carrots are cooked draw them away from the fire until they have cooled somewhat. Beat the yolks of two eggs into half a cupful of cream or rich milk. Stir this into the carrots and cook gently until the liquor thickens, but do not allow to boil. Serve in a hot dish and sprinkle over with minced parsley. Care of House Paint. Few housewives have the least idea what a little care of the outdoor house paint, such as window sashes, front door and even railings, will do to preserve its beauty and length of life. The simplest plan is to wash this paint at intervals with tepid water to which a little paraffin has been added, with a soft rag. Then to apply a really good, preferably home-made furniture polish, and rub off in the usual way. This quite prevents blistering. Paint that is far gone could be washed in oxalic acid and water, but this is a strenuous remedy and only suitable when a repainting is to be the next move. Below I give a recipe for a polish suitable for both furniture and paint. Mocha Layer Cake. The yolks of five eggs, one cupful of powdered sugar, two tablespoonfuls of mocha essence, two tablespoonfuls of strong, hot coffee, one cupful of flour, and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Add the beaten whites of the eggs and bake in three layers for fifteen or twenty minutes. Fill with whipped cream. WENT TO BLOCK CHEERFULLY Sir Walter Raleigh Under Sentence of Death, Failed to Win Pardon by Last Voyage. Fate and justice worked some peculiar pranks in the olden days. Sir Walter Raleigh, with the death sentence hanging over him for 18 years, failing in his final voyage of discovery, returned to England and went cheerfully to the block. He left the Tower without the royal pardon in 1615. The adventurous but still condemned man had received permission to make another voyage to South America. If he should be successful in the outcome of his venture Raleigh knew the king's mercy would be granted him. But this last expedition, undertaken with such a vital interest at stake for Raleigh, was unfortunate in all its respects. At San Tomas, on the Cayenne river in Gulana, his men made a hostile attack upon a Spanish settlement. As England was then at peace with Spain, this act of war against the people of a friendly nation was a most grievous offense against the king. On October 29, 1618, he suffered death by the ax. Having fingered the edge, he returned it and said, smiling to the sheriff: "This is a sharp medicine, but it is a sound cure for all diseases." Any Distress After Meals? Have you heartburn?

A CASHIER TELLS HIS STORY ARREST OF BANK PRESIDENT QUICKLY FOLLOWS. Bold Scheme of Fake Banking Exposed in Connection with String of Night and Day Institutions. Memphis, Tennessee.—Following on the heels of the confession of A. G. Toenges, cashier of the defunct All Night and Day bank, which he made to Sheriff Tate and Receiver D. A. Fraser, E. L. Hendrey, president of the bank and connected in various ways with the All Night and Day banks in Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Kansas City and other points, has been arrested. He gave bond one hour after he was taken to the county jail, where he was detained in a private office. Teoenges' confession exposed one of the boldest schemes of fake banking ever brought to light in Memphis. He showed how the American Trust and Banking company, organized with a supposed capital of $50,000, really did not have a cent except that which the Memphis All Night and Day bank loaned it when the date for a showdown came. Hendrey has been away from Tennessee for three months. He was originally indicted under the Oklahoma laws for being implicated in a loan promulgated for by the All Night and Day bank of Oklahoma City. The All Night and Day bank of Memphis failed for $30,000 last August and the depositors have never been paid a cent. The American Bank and Trust company was organized as a holding concern, where money loaned from the All Night and Day bank on fake deposit certificates was deposited and where a number of small banks in Mississippi and Tennessee had arranged to deposit corresponding funds. DIED IN THEIR HOUSE OF SAND Three Children Killed and Two Injured While Playing—Boy's Kick Causes Avalanch. Kansas City, Kan.—Eight children went to play in a bank of sand here and dug a cave back about 20 feet. Then as they contemplated their work from the inside a boy's contemptuous kick shook the sand pit. The 14-foot bank above them fell in, three of the children were killed and two were injured severely. The dead are: Ethel Hutchinson, 11 years old; Flossie Hutchinson, 14 and Roscoe Sparks, 9. Lydia Hutchinson, 16 years old, sister of the two girls killed and Harold Hutchings, 10 years old, were seriously injured. By the efforts of Lizzie Sparks, 16 years old, the two injured children escaped death. She saved their lives and her own, by digging them out, not knowing that her brother Roscoe, 9 years old, also had been buried. ROCK ISLAND TROUBLE AVERTED Settlement Made Avoids Strike Con- templated Affecting Eight Thousand Men. Chicago, Illinois.—The settlement agreed upon by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway and its shopmen averts a strike which would have affected 8,000 men. The shopmen, after five months of negotiations, in which concessions were made on both sides, have accepted the company's wage scale and signed a contract for another year. The original 34 demands were reduced to six, including an advance of two cents an hour in wages and a change in working conditions. The railroad officials refused these demands, declaring that general business conditions did not warrant any increase in operating expenses. After full consideration, the union officials sent a letter to President Mudge accepting the terms. Enforcing Fire Laws. Emporia, Kansas.—Following an inspection of the buildings of Emporia by Owen Doyle, state factory inspector, and his deputy, M. L. O'Brien, prosecutions were begun against H. C. Whitley, Fred R. Corbett and C. C. Concannon for non-compliance with the fire regulation laws. The two first named neglected to observe certain fire escape regulations in the Whitley Opera house and the latter requirements for booths in moving picture houses. The state officers are on a trip over the state, under specific orders from Gov. Stubbs to enforce the fire laws. Young Hunter Shot Caney, Kansas.—Earl Overfield, son of Senator Overfield of Independence, was shot in the head accidentally while hunting, six miles west of Caney. He was dangerously, but probably not fatally wounded. French Train Into River. Saintau, France.—Sixty passengers lost their lives through the plunging of a train into the River Thouet, owing to the breakdown of a bridge on the state railway at Montreuil-Bellay.

RALPH WILDER CHICAGO RECORD-HERALD. --- STATEMENT GIVEN OUT BY FATH ER OF WIFE SLAYER. Went to Electric Chair and Paid Penalty of His Crime—Governor Denies 30-Day Offer. BEATTIE'S CONFESSION. I, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., desirous of standing right before God and man, do on this, the 23d day of November, 1911, confess my guilt of the crime charged against me. That that was published concerning the details was not true, but the awful fact, without the harrowing circumstances, remains. For this action I am truly sorry and, believing that I am at peace with God and am soon to pass into His presence, this statement is made. Richmond, Virginia—Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., went to the electric chair with his soul cleansed of the burden of a lie. He left a broken hearted father deprived of the one prop left to him in his hour of darkest grief—an abiding faith in the innocence of his son. For Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., confessed, confessed that he took his young wife, the mother of his five-weeks-old son, to a dark road in the woods and there shot her to death because there was no room in his heart for her and for Beulah Binford, the mother of his other child at whose funeral he was the sole mourner. The confession was written in the slayer's own handwriting and was witnessed by the two ministers who were with him constantly in his last hours. Dr. Fix took the statement to the elder Beattie and left with him the decision of destroying it or making it public. It was a bitter task, but the father did not hesitate. The publication of the confession also disposed of a story that Gov. Mann of Virginia had offered to give Beattie a reprieve of 30 days if he would confess. Gov. Mann denies emphatically that such an offer was made. NO LIQUOR FOR DRY TERRITORY Supreme Court Upholds Injunction to Prohibit Sales in Chariton County. Jefferson City, Missouri.—In the supreme court in banc Judge Ferris filed an opinion relating to the method of restraining the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors in local option territory. The case came from Chariton county, where the prosecuting attorney brought an injunction proceeding against W. A. Thrash, to prohibit him from conducting a restaurant where he was selling intoxicating liquors in violation of the law. Circuit Judge Fred Lamb granted the injunction on the ground that the place was a public nuisance, and the attorneys for Thrash brought the matter to the supreme court on a writ of prohibition. The decision denies the writ of prohibition. All the judges concurred. Iowa Has a Trademark. Des Moines, Iowa.—An official Iowa trademark is registered with the secretary of state here and in the future the products of the factories of the state will be stamped with a design of a hawk's head within a cogwheel and the words "Made in Iowa." Iowa is said to be the first and only state to have an official trademark. Mystery in Farmers' Death. Hutchinson, Kansas—After being unconscious for 28 hours, Dan J.

LIQUOR MEN START NEWSPAPER Resubmissionists to Have Organ In Tuesday, New Delhi to Start Topeka, Kansas.—That a new daily publication is soon to enter the Topeka newspaper field was formally announced at a meeting of the National Association of Manufacturers and Business Men here. The new paper is to be known as the Topeka American. It will be a morning paper and will advocate resubmission and indorse Billard for governor. According to an announcement made before the members by E. M. Chesney, an employee of the claims department of the Santa Fe, the new daily will begin publication January 1. Machinery and equipment for the new plant have been bought and it is asserted that the promoters have secured a lease on the new Gordon Building at Ninth Street and Kansas Avenue. W. C. Dillon of Memphis, Tenn., has been placed in charge of the circulation department and has been here several weeks and has an extra staff of newspaper writers employed for the publication of the paper. CLEANUP OF WICHITA A REALITY Mayor Minnick, After a Visit to Topeka, Calls in Police and Talks Business to Them. Toueka, Kansas.—Wichita has finally decided that it needs cleaning up and Gov. Stubbs is highly pleased. Mayor Minnick was here last week and had a long talk with the governor about the liquor situation and resorts in the town. He then returned home and called every policeman on the force to a meeting in his office and made a straight talk to them. "It's up to you men to see that Wichita is kept clean," said he. "If reports come to me of joints or immoral places being found on your beats and you have not made an arrest the man on the beat will lose his star that night. This cleanup is not going to hurt Wichita and you must see that it is kept up. You are directed to arrest every law violator at once." MOTOR CAR PLUNGED OVER CLIFF All of Party of Five, in Accident Near Denver, Escaped Injury Except One. Denver, Colorado.—A motor car containing two women and three men plunged from the Colorado Springs road two miles south of Welhurst near here, turned over twice and ended its flight at the foot of a 10-foot embankment. The occupants of the car were hurled some distance, and all escaped injury save W. H. Moore, manager of the Metropolitan hotel at Fort Worth, Tex., who was painfully bruised. The other occupants of the car were Mrs. W. H. Moore and Mr. and Mrs. John R. Townsend of Denver, and the chauffeur. Mayor Selling Poultry. Indianapolis, Indiana.—In his fight on the high cost of poultry, Mayor Shank had on sale at the city market hundreds of chickens, turkeys geese and ducks, all of which were sold direct from the producer to the consumer at cost. As a result of his fight the bottom of the poultry market in this city has fallen out and all dealers are being forced to sell at a very small profit. Suffragette Leader Jailed. London, England.—Mrs. Pethick Lawrence, the head and front of the suffragette riots, was the central figure of the trial of those arrested when the magistrate sentenced her to a month's imprisonment. Fifteenth Infantry to China Manila.—The American army officers stationed in the vicinity of Manila have begun the physical test ordered by the military authorities to prepare them for a possible call for service in China. FAKED SUICIDE ON WEDDING EVE Prospective Groom at iola Disappears After Phoning Bride's Mother—Family Jewels Also Missing. Iola, Kansas.—"This is Art Sherman, cousin of your daughter's betrothed, Frank Smith. He has just died from the effects of carbolic acid taken with suicidal intent. You will find the body at 404 East Jackson Avenue." That was the startling message received over the telephone by Mrs. James Cummings, the mother of Smith's fiance. As soon as she received the message, the mother notified her daughter and together they began a search for the body of Smith. A visit to the office of physicians and the hospitals showed that no patient suffering with poison had been treated. No one could be found who knew Art Sherman. Then the heartbroken young woman was forced to believe that Art Sherman was a mythical person, really Smith himself, who had telephoned the news of his own death in order to throw the girl and her parents off his trail until he could get out of town. Some of the family jewelry has disappeared. Investigation by officers led them to believe that Smith has served a term in the Hutchinson reformatory under the name of Charles Moore, or Klein. It has been found that he had several aliases at the local pawshops. TAR JURY SAYS TWO ARE GUILTY One of Three on Trial for Tarring Teacher Released—Were Out Twenty-Nine Hours. Lincoln Center, Kansas—Two of the three defendants in the tar party trial were found guilty. They are John Schmidt, a wealthy farmer, and Sherrill Clark, brother of Everett Clark, president of a Shady Bend milling company. A. N. Simms, a former employee of Everett G. Clark, the miller, was found not guilty. The jury returned its verdict at 4:40 after having been out 29 hours. Everett Clark and Jay Fitzwater, who pleaded guilty and were sentenced to a year in the county jail have taken an appeal and are out on bond. Watson Scranton, the third defendant, declares he will go to jail at once and begin his sentence. Ed Ricord, the barber decoy in the case, was sentenced to a year in jail by Judge Grover. He had already served two months upon the year's sentence he had appealed from, but will now have to begin over again and serve a full year. NEGRO ATTACKS A WHITE GIRL Farmers Gather at Spring Hill and Consider Lynching Brute—Regard for Law Prevailed. Spring Hill, Kansas. While they held a young negro under guard in a pool hall here 200 farmers and citizens of this section discussed for two hours whether they, as a mob, should inflict punishment upon him for an attack on the young daughter of a farmer, or whether the law "should take its course." There were times when the respect for the law and the right of trial were almost swept away—and then a righteous sense of justice prevailed and the prisoner was led forth from the pool hall and turned over to the county officers. Davis, the negro, was taken to Olathe by a deputy sheriff and placed in jail for safe keeping. Were Smuggling Chinese. Chicago, Illinois.—One of the largest Chinese smuggling plots found by federal officers in years was revealed here when "Crappy" Nelson was arraigned before United States Commissioner Foote charged with bringing Chinamen into this country from Canada. Twenty men charged with being implicated in the plot are already under arrest in Chicago, New York and Detroit, where the band made its headquarters. Combine for Good Roads. Joplin, Missouri.—For the purpose of boosting good roads in general, but more especially to work for the establishment of a Kansas City to Arkansas rock road through Jasper county, enthusiasts at Joplin have formed the Western Missouri Good Roads association. A committee of 20 is working in Jasper county and neighboring counties for memberships in the association. Will Accept Carnegie Library. Olathe, Kansas.—At a book shower held here under the auspices of the Women's Civic league 500 books were given to the city library. The shower has caused a revival of interest concerning the offer of Andrew Carnegie to give $12,500 for a library and the council has now agreed to meet his requirements. Idaho Counties Turn Wet. Boise, Idaho.—Belated returns from the local option election in Kootenal and Idaho counties show that prohibition was defeated by a small margin. Both counties voted "dry" two years ago. 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. The American Home WILLIAM A. RADFORD Editor THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR YOUNG PERSONS. Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he has been the highest judge on all these subjects. Add all his alliances to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A good deal of comfort can be secured for $1,000 or $1,100 by building a seven-room house like the one shown herewith. Four rooms downstairs, with three rooms in the roof, a bathroom, and two porches, briefly describes a house that is well arranged and convenient for a small family. It is a house especially well adapted for the village. One reason why this house can be built for so little money is that the work is all plain and straight. The greatest cost in building these days is labor. Carpenter work is expensive, and all old corners and queer shapes cost money. Working on a ginger-bread house is like ploughing a narrow field crossways. You spend most of your time turning around, instead of getting ahead and making a show for the amount of labor you are putting on the job. The rooms are large enough for comfort, and every room is well lighted. There is something about the manner in which the front porch is let into the corner of the house that attracts attention in a favorable way. It does not look like a common, everyday, cheap house; yet it can be built under ordinary circumstances for less than $1,100. The size on the ground is 26 by 38 feet—not so small as some houses, and not so large as the houses of some of our neighbors. But we should build according to our needs and according to our means. The trouble with too many Americans is that their wants are governed by their neighbors' supplies. Our wants are numerous, but our needs are few. We do need a good comfortable home. THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL and that is more than rich men get sometimes after building a castle. Cheap houses are attractive if kept in good condition, and if some attention is paid to the lawns and trees. It is so much better to spend an hour or two in the evening working among vines and shrubbery than it is to spend the same amount of time holding down a box in the grocery store, telling the other loafers how the government should run the country. It is better to have a nine-hundred-dollar house with a few outside attractions and a contented family, than to envy the luck of some other fellow who has not had the ambition to work and plan to get a respectable home. DOWN KITCHEN 14'0" x 16'0" CUPBOARD DINING ROOM 12'0" x 15'0" LIBRARY 10'6" x 12'0" VESTIBULOUS PARLOR 12'0" x 15'6" PORCH First Floor Plan. A house of this design is within the reach of any man who has the ambition to own a home. It is not necessary to finish the whole house right off from the start. If the frame is put up and enclosed, the inside finishing upstairs may be done later. I suggest this only as means to an end. I know that the start is the hardest thing in building a home. Once started, a home is almost dead sure to be finished, because an interest has been awakened, and that is the main thing. Some towns are noted for the number of homes owned by the families living in them, while others are just as well known from the fact that almost all the houses are rented. I can distinguish between the two places by simply driving through some of the streets. The neglected appearance of the rented houses shows at once that the families living in them have no interest in the property. On the other hand, in towns and villages where the property is owned by the occupants, I see neatly kept lawns, nice walks, well-trimmed trees, handsome shrubbery, and a great many flowers. It is almost impossible for a man to own a lot without improving it. DED ROOM 11'0" x 12'6" CLOS. HALL DED ROOM 12'0" x 14'0" DATH 6'0" x 7'0" CLOS. DED ROOM 12'6" x 14'6" CLOS. Second Floor Plan. Something about the ownership of a bit of land seems to awaken an interest in life and its possibilities as nothing else will. I have seen a man build a small house on a bit of waste quarry property, and in a few years make it blossom with roses and fruit-bearing trees. But we have seen luckless, shiftless fellows renting run-down property that presents a hopeless ad- THE HOME OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR YOUNG PERSONS pearance, and living in it year after year without any ambition to do better. This cheap little house offers a solution for such a condition of affairs, and I hope a great many will take advantage of it. The rooms are just as well arranged as rooms in more expensive houses. The bay window adds to the outside appearance, while giving to the interior a pleasant outlook. The library offers a room for the man and his men friends, with a door opening on the side porch communicating easily with the garden. When men have such a room to themselves, their acquaintances are invited to the house instead of meeting them in other places. In this plan a good deal of attention is paid to the kitchen. The most important room in every house is the kitchen, but many families seem to be ashamed of it. They have a little back corner partitioned off, with a low ceiling and one little, narrow window, and call this a "kitchen." Very often the little window is so placed that it is impossible to get any air through it, and not much light comes in that way. If there is any outlook at all, it is in the most uninteresting direction. These little eight-by-five affairs, so often used as a makeshift, are very dark in winter and hot in summer, especially when cooking dinner. It may not be necessary to put the kitchen in the front part of the house; still this would be a better arrangement than some plans met with. Some builders make the front of the house as elaborate as possible, after doing a lot of expensive work to have the parlor very fine; while the kitchen is not only badly planned, but it may be placed wrong and finished (or unfinished) in the cheapest kind of wood, and often with a poor floor. All this is wrong. The best floor in the house should be in the kitchen. The kitchen should be near to the pantry and near to the dining room, to save steps as much as possible; but this does not mean that the smell of cooking should penetrate into the other rooms. --- MARCHLIGHT, PAGE FIVE "SECOND PLACE GOOD BED IT IS AS WHAT THE OTTO WEISS A are all guaranty Law, Serial No. sas State Law, It Is The Cheapest For Clean Beds Little Restaurant Meals 20c — 507 No Short Order Good Service Barber Shop Chas.

The government is going to lay molasses road in Massachusetts. That is, it will prepare a binder for ma cadam roads the basis of which will be the residue of sugar-cane manufacture a by-product for which there is at present no known use. But isn't there some danger that the small boys and girls will carry off the road for all-day suckers or some other terrible thing? LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finna Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. 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 towns 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 Finna. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they catch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good matured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Plans' book—Ladier' Fictorial. When Tower Loomed. It was while Charlemagne Tower was ambassador to Russia that a New York city newspaper "spread itself upon a fete held at St. Petersburg.

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 Norlen's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru as 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 lost in unreliability. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race 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 design richness of color and finesse of texture no fabric of to-day sustenance is Title. Blessings to Everyone.

Dent, 7 F TOOK UMBRAGE AT ASPERSION Citizens Resented Being Voted for as Town's "Meanest Man." Old Scrooge might be a philanthropic Carnegie alongside certain tight-wads in Mount Vernon, but William Friedberg has no license to determine publicly who are the men who would squeeze a dollar until the eagle yelled: "Help! I'm melting!" For conducting a voting contest to determine the meanest man in Mount Vernon Friedberg, who keeps a clog store there, was fined five dollars by Judge Platt here. A warning went with the fine. Friedberg lives in Astoria, but does business in Mount Vernon. He placed in his window a placard: "Come in and vote for the meanest man in Mount Vernon!" This was followed by a list of names. Consulcous in the lot were the mayor and chief of police. Then came many solid and staid citizens. After every name was a number signifying the votes the owner of the name had received so far. Great was the wrath of the so-called "meanest men." Friedberg was ordered to take the sign out of the window, but he refused to do so. His indictment for libel followed. In court he pleaded guilty, but asserted he did not know he was violating any law. White Plains Co. New York Sun 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. The Value of Negro Business Enterprises. The Value of Negro Business Enterprises. 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 mestimable. No man can arise 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 Be Continued. Her Criticism. The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby 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's head's loose."

The dogs are as aristocratic as the kings who in the middle ages sent them collars of gold; because the first Bernards, their ancestors, were already on the spot, aiding travelers in an amateurish way, when St. Bernard de Menthon went up from Aosta and founded the Hospice, A.D. 962. Their ancestors, bearfighting dogs of old Charlemagne's court, had been left with certain mountaineer chiefs, among other payment for aid and neutrality, by an earlier Bernard, uncle of Charlemagne, when he marched an army by this route A.D. 773. Thus the great dogs of imperial court race were near the spot when St. Bernard and his companions built their famous refuge at the apex of the pass; and to understand their evolution—why the good monks began training them not to be like other dogs—they must have an idea of this majestic short-cut of antiquity from north Europe into Italy. Nowadays the tunnels take you through by rail, in three-quarters of an hour, but before such modern engineering wonders it was different. Why has Napoleon's—or Hannibal's—passage of the Alps remained so striking? Because a great army, with its baggage, camp material, supplies, cannons and ammunition carts or yet more ponderous elephants, irrupted unexpectedly on the fertile plains of the south. They fell, really, from the clouds—the clouds hanging round the snow capped wall of mountains! Otherwise, Napoleon must have led his army round by the Mediterranean, interminable journey that would have surprised nobody. Otherwise, Hannibal, wandering with his hundreds of war elephants from Spain up into France would have been obliged to wander back or stay there. Instead, he followed the Rhine valley to the entrance of the Great St. Bernard, climbed the grand old road, up, up to its snow and ice, elephants and all, and descended on the vines and fig trees of Capua, to the immense surprise of the Romans. The first army to risk it was a Gaulish one 150 years before Hannibal. The Romans used it as early as B. C. 105; and the monks preserve tablets that record the passage of various legions. After the foundation of Aosta, B. C. 23, it became frequented by travelers and traders—a Temple of Jupiter actually stood at the top, where now rises the gigantic statue of St. Bernard. Roman emperors improved the road, notably Constantine, A. D. 339. Later, barbarian hordes fell on the empire from its heights; but in the anarchy of the early dark ages it became one of the most traveled and securest routes of Europe, policed by mountain chiefs taking moderate toll—whence the big dogs of Charlemagne's uncle. So, when St. Bernard founded his Hospice at the top, and collected a pack of the dogs' descendants—already evolved to precious mountain friends of man—it was to succor travelers at the critical point of a unique highway in the clouds. There were other short-cut passes, but none so improved by art and continual traffic. Even today, in spite of the railway tunnels, the Great St. Bernard is annually crossed by 17,000 poor pedestrians. In the early days, the richer the travelers, the more substantially they showed their gratitude. During the middle ages the monastery became very wealthy. Kings and emperors made it grants. Passing nobles and rich merchants settled annuities on it. And princesses embroidered collars in cloth-of-gold for the big dogs—already of ancient descent from Charle-magne's court—concerning whose unearthly intelligence and goodness all kinds of stories were rife. Personal friends of mine had an adventure with the dogs last May. Hearing it to be a sporting "English" trip to go sleighing over the Great St. Bernard after a considerable melting of the snows makes the thing possible, they started off, very Parisian tril—retired fashionable ladies' tailor of the rue Royale, Paris, his wife and his mother-in-law, weight and girth increasing in the order mentioned. At Martigny, in full bloom of peach and cherry blossoms, they took a four-horse carriage up the already dusty road, through the ravine of the Drance, the rocky gorge, the tender spring buds and the woods, the tunnel, and on up through Sembrancher—where the stopped to cool with beer—past ruined chateau and over old stone bridges, the Drance away down below, often invisible, and all delightful, springlike, and their hearts sang as they went up, like the skylark. * * * They exclaimed in wonder as they began to get views of Mt. Velan with its glaciers and snow-fields merging into an all-snow world beginning up there, just above them—so different from the scene in August. On the great curve beyond Liddes village, they felt chilly. Beyond the Torrent de la Croix they struck snow, and at Bourg St. Pierre the sleigh was waiting for them. The sleigh had been engaged by telephone; and by the same means the good monks would have a hot dinner and fires all ready in their bedrooms. Jingling gals across the Gorge of the Valsorey with its deep snowbanks unmelt- ENTRANCE TO KENNELS ed, they chatted of Napoleon's superhuman difficulties in getting 30,000 men, cannon and camp baggage over that historic sticking pot in the same month of May, the year 1800. They were doing it beautifully in a light three-horse sleigh without baggage; but the modern road, hewn in the rock, avoids the old steep, slippery route, scarcely marked by jagged stones sticking out of the ice. It must have been a 25 per cent. incline. in-law straddled greatest difficult dragged along pit, "just loved Only when the they realize the clothes were so they were led bid wood fires brother calling They had struck nothing worse than 7 per cent; and through the forest beyond it was often almost level, the snow well packed. A favorable moment! Beautiful sleighing! Exhilarating adventure! Up! up! Five per cent. sir. They jingled through a long defile and up into vast boulder-strewn pastures shrouded in white, like great ghosts. How different from a common diligence trip in August, with hurrahing tourists! They still affirm that a three-horse sleigh can take three restaurant-fattened Parisians and a beer-swelled driver up inclines of 7 and 8 per cent. with strength and beauty, had not a blizzard struck them just before the Cantine de Proz. "Five more miles to climb," they said there, "better hurry! We shall telephone the canons." This is where they always telephone for help to come down from the Hospice, in bad weather; but their fat sleigh man had swigged his birch-and-hot-water placidly, refused an extra horse and man, and started them off with confidence. This is why they were soon floundering in a blizzard that darkened the sun like night, at the entrance to a black defile, past "precipices" that "turned their stomachs." With a jolt, the sleigh stopped. "Must wait," said the fat sleigh man, blanketing his horses. "Where are we?" "At the Pas de Marengo, three miles below the Hospice." "Drive on!" "Go back!" "Armand, he'll take us over a precipice. I can't see two yards ahead!" To all of which the driver, lifting the falling-top, covered them with rugs, and lighting his pipe, answered briefly: "They'll come." "Never will I forget that half-hour while the sleigh was being snowed under in the black twilight of that blizzard," says the mother-in-law of the world-famed rue Royale concern. "And never was I so glad to see human beings as those three splendid big dogs that advanced to us formally, gravely out of the twilight. I cannot think of them as dogs. They were more than persons. They seemed supernatural creatures come to save us, perfectly safely, perfectly easy! Our confidence was complete. We understood their meaning, when they ranged themselves three abreast, just far enough apart for us two women to walk between, leaning on their backs! Armand took an outer edge. The driver showed him." Up they advanced, dragged, sustained and cheerfully encouraged by the dogs alone as "Where are we?" "Go back!" in-law straddled on one of the horses, with the greatest difficulty. Armand and madame, dragged along by a big dog under each armpit, "just loved the noble creatures." Only when they arrived at the Hospice did they realize that they had no pajamas. Their clothes were soaked and frozen. In a dream they were led to two big bedrooms with two bid wood fires blazing * * * and a big brown brother calling through the keyhole that they would "find a change of gowns on the chairbacks." They were monks' gowns, of scratchy, thick brown woollen stuff that "tickled" the two ladies so that they "ate their soup and went to sleep laughing." * * * The next afternoon—the driver having rescued his sleigh, up their valises by porter, and himself returned to Bourg St. Pierre long before—they went down the 2, 6, 8 and 10 per cent. slopes of the Italian side in a regular service sleigh and dashing style and taking the terrific descents of 18 to 25 per cent. with "sleigh brakes that hold safer than an automobile." Although they found the Passive with service movement, mostly local, they consider themselves great sports and "advise no one to repeat the exploit." As to the dogs, they will "send them a present of 500 francs every year." As the first year has not yet elapsed, it remains to be seen if they turn out more grateful than the average tourist; but I believe they did leave $10 in the alms box. It is a painful subject. To merely see the dogs on the spot and learn of their deeds is worth any man's $10, even in August. And, quite apart, is the question of board and lodging. The Hospice consists of two vast agglomerations of buildings in the bottom of a cup-like space surrounded by the terrific snow-covered peaks. Yet it is the top of the pass, so high that everyone is incommoded in breathing after a little exertion—no one knows why; but the atmosphere is more rarefied and colder than that of any other pass, altitude for altitude, by a technical 500 meters. True, it is higher than the Simpson or Mt. Cenis; but it is lower than the Stolvie or Great Glibier—all of which I have done, in auto, with none of the inconvenience in breathing experienced around the Great St. Bernard Hospice. Without the Hospice, the 17,000 poor pedestrians would be in a wretched, even dangerous plight. They regularly sleep at night and eat two meals gratis. Without the Hospice, 6,000 well-to-do pleasure tourists, who annually "do" the Great St. Bernard in July, August and September by way of diligences, service-breaks and private carriages would find it a much less "romantic and delightful adventure," with perhaps some painful inconveniences. For one thing, they would have to pay. When a break-load arrives, they ring the bell in the ancient porch and are welcomed by one of the abbes or canons as guests of a chateau. Automobiles not being permitted on the Swiss side, the all-horse locomotion of this pass they affirm, for a mile and a half, the driver leading his horses behind, and keeping mighty close. He left the sleigh and valises—it was no moment for fancy work. When the good canon and his two brown brothers, with reinforcements of four more dogs, came hurrying after the canine first aid, it was possibly a little earlier than they remember. The two miles or more of 10 per cent. climb up the long windings, over the dreary Comb of the Dead and through the avalanche gallery, seems to them a fantastic dream of blizzard and darkness. The two men held the mother- makes a stay over night at the top practically necessary. With old-fashioned courtesy the tourists are conducted to their rooms by an abbe, and after meals are shown round the church, the kennels and museum, quite as guests in a country house. Never a hint of pay. Every tourist knows—it is universal conversation and all guide books tell it—that each tourist ought to put into the alms box at least what he (or she) would have to pay at a hotel. All tourists similarly know in advance that the Hospice has grown poor in modern times by continuing to feed, warm and lodge 23,000 mingled rich and poor annually—the grants, rents and annuities that once made it rich having shrunk and dwindled. This being so, what do you imagine the 6,000 gay and arrogant tourists last summer put into the alms box? Less than 1,000 would have paid at a hotel! That is to say, an average of one tourist in six paid up honestly. The rest sneaked it. This is not why the dogs have a far-away, almost disdainful look. They do not know why they are almost hard up for their soup and biscuits. Once they wore gold collars; now they go about contentedly in leather dotted with brass nail-heads. They do not even know that rich tourists have tried to buy them for large sums—which the good canons gently refused; they would never send their dog friends down to pant and pine in the thick, hot air of the plain. They disdain nobody. They simply do not like our smell—the smell of overheated, overfed, gross tourist bodies, burning oxygen and letting off poisonous gases like a furnace. Their friends, the abbes, brothers and clean-smelling wood choppers of the heights are plain livers, trained down, all muscle, their very clothes free from the grease and microbes of the festering plain. How, then, if they avoid us, are they willing to bound off through snow and night and hunt out—what they smell so easily, so far away—the strong-scented denizen of low altitudes in distress. In men it would be called professional ardor. In these dogs we call it atawism. Since St. Bernard de Menthon collected the pack in the year A. D. 962, almost a thousand years have elapsed. Generation after generation, back through the centuries, the same patient training, exclusive companionship of wise men, absence of outside foolishness and distractions, have made it a race of dogs apart. There are plenty of St. Bernards up and down the valley; but they are degenerates from the overflow. The dogs of the Hospice, for example, take their orders only from the abbes, or canons, not the brown brothers ("marronniers") who live with them, feed them, and for whom they have the greatest affection. Yet before starting on an expedition, an abbe has the chief dogs up before him, one by one. It passes in absolute silence, very queer. When the pure-minded, strong-souled, trained-down, unworldly man looks into his eyes, what passes into the subconscious being of the clean-living, highbred, human-companioned animal of the thin air and lonely heights? Two Hospice dogs have crouched beside an exhausted wayfarer, snuggling close to him on each side to keep him warm while the third dog ran back, to lead the "caravan" of rescue to the spot. Such a trio of scouts have barked continuously in the ears of a weakening, stumbling traveler to keep him awake. Two trudged so close to him on each side as to warm and hold him upright—while the third butted him along from behind a good five minutes before dashing back to bring the caravan. Any visitor in snow time is given the privilege to wander and hide behind a drift—as far as he pleases, covering his tracks at pleasure. Then an abbe will take a new bunch of six dogs from the kennels, merely show them your handkerchief in his uplifted hand—of course they get the scent—and off they go, circling, barking, as at a game. After two cricles of the Hospice, at the most, running with their noses in the air like a French deer hound, they have your trail and follow it straight to where you are waiting to be rescued. Then you get your second surprise. Instead of digging you out and offering you a drink of brandy and water from the canteens round their necks, they stand in a circle, laughing at you. You know how a dog laughs? Technically, the pass is "open to circulation" between the melting and reappearance of the snows in July, August and September. During this period, when the road is alive with traffic over good dry earth, and rock, the rescue work is limited to hunting up adventurous tourists or tipsy "work-seeking" laborers who have strayed or fallen. In bad weather, and as soon as there is snow, the telephone makes rescue work a routine. From St. Rhemy, on the Swiss slope, a telephone message invariably notifies the Hospice of the passage up of each vehicle, band of pedestrians or solitary adventurer. FOR PERSONS FOND OF RICE Delicious Ways of Serving This Most Healthful and Wholesome of All Vegetables. Boiled Rice Dumplings, Custard Sauce—Boil half a pound of rice, drain and mash it moderately fine; add to it two ounces of butter, three ounces of sugar, one-half saltspoon of mixed ground spice, salt and the yolks of two eggs; moisten a trifle with a tablespoon or two of cream. With floured hands shape the mixture into balls and tie them into floured pudding cloths, steam or boll 40 minutes and send to table with a custard sauce made as follows: Mix together four ounces of sugar and two ounces of butter slightly warmed; beat together the yolks of two eggs and a gill of cream, mix and pour the sauce in a double saucepan; set this in a pan of hot water and whisk thoroughly three minutes; set the saucepan in cold water and whisk until the sauce is cooled. Rice Pudding—Wash a teacup of rice and boil it in two teacups of water, then add while the rice is hot three tablespoons of butter, five tablespoons of sugar, five eggs well beaten, one tablespoon of powdered nutmeg, a little salt, one glass of wine, one-quarter pound of raisins stoned and cut in halves, one-quarter pound of currants, one-quarter pound of citron into slips and one quart of cream. Mix well, pour into a buttered dish and bake an hour in a moderate oven. Rice Meringue—One cup of carefully sorted rice boiled in water until it is soft; when done drain thoroughly, cool it and add one quart of new milk, the well beaten yolks of three eggs, three tablespoons of white sugar and a little nutmeg, or flavor with lemon or vanilla. Pour into a baking dish and bake about half an hour. Let it get cold; beat the whites of the eggs, add two tablespoons of sugar, flavor with lemon or vanilla; drop or spread it over the pudding and slightly brown it in the oven. TWO RECIPES WORTH TRYING Potato Egg Is Something New and Is Tempting—New Recipe for Gingerbread. Potato Eggs—Roast four or six large potatoes in the oven with their skins on; remove the insides, but keep the shape of the potato. Put the inside of the potato in a basin and add one and a half ounces of butter (according to the number and size of the potatoes) and salt and pepper to taste. Mix together until light and add either one or two well-beaten whites of eggs and beat up all together. Fill the potato skins with the paste, first rolling each piece in beaten yolk of egg; then cook in the oven and serve as soon as the tops are well colored—ten to fifteen minutes. Gingerbread—Put into a basin six ounces of fresh butter and half a pound of treacle. Warm thoroughly in the oven. In another basin put two breakfast cupfuls of flour, a table-spoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of ground ginger, the same of mixed spice, and a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda. Mix, add the warmed treacle and butter, and enough warm milk to make a stiff batter. Bake in a moderate oven in a shallow, well-greased tin. Flying Angels. Heat 24 small oysters in their own liquid, just enough to make the meat solid, then strain off the broth. Cut very thin 24 strips of bacon, three inches long by one inch wide; cover them with English mustard mixed with Worcestershire sauce. Then put an oyster on each slice and wrap the oyster in this deviled bacon. Put six of these oysters on a metal skewer, sprinkle with bread crumbs and broil until cooked brown. Serve on long, narrow pieces of toast with lemon and pour melted parsley butter over them. Of course it is easy to divide such a recipe as the above by four. If brisket bacon is used the novelty will be an inexpensive one. If one can afford pure cream for oyster patties, of course it is dainter, but the white sauce thoroughly cooked and seasoned with the oyster liquor and the regular seasonings is very good. Stuffed Eggplant. Put four small eggplants in a saucepan of boiling water. When done put on a flat pan and cut in half. With a spoon take out the inside without breaking the skin and put it in a dish; add to it one egg, a thin slice of bacon minced very fine, a can of shrimps, pepper and salt. When well mixed fill the skins. Then sprinkle with break crumbs and small pieces of, butter. Bake in the oven until a nice brown. Corn Batter. Put two teacupfuls of canned corn into a bowl, add two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one-half of a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, one-third of a teaspoonful of baking powder and about one-half of a teacupful of flour to make a drop batter. Drop by the teacupful into smoking hot fat. When brown drain on unglazed paper and serve at once. Cotton Leaf Cake Graham Lear cake Two and one-half cups buttermilk (or sour milk), three and one-half cups graham flour, one cup brown sugar one pound dates, cut; two level tea spoons soda, pinch of salt. Makes two small leaves. Bake in slow oven thre- tive or forty-five minutes.

DEPT. 308 CHICAGO,ILL Almost Impossible to Impose Upon Handlers of Money. Incidentally it is interesting to note that the skill which enables one to detect a counterfeit comes not from study of counterfeitels, but from a tough and unconscious familiarity with the genuine. If a man were pointed out to you and you were told that some day another who much resembled him would try to impose upon you, you would be pretty apt to fix his features in your mind; you would not spend any time looking at other people who looked something like him, would you? And the moment the impostor appeared you would note that in this that or the other particular he failed to meet the details of the other man's face and figure. Just so it is in the detection of counterfeits. A skillful teller in a bank, counting money rapidly, will involuntarily throw out a note which in the slightest degree departs from the well-known pattern which is so strongly impressed on his mental vision. That involuntary act will nearly always prove to have been justified, for the bill in 19 cases out of 20 will prove to be a counterfeit. It is because of this fact that when a request is received from some one to loan him a collection of counterfeit for the instruction of his cashiers, he is advised to have the young men study the genuine carefully, and then will be no trouble in detecting the bar notes—National Magazine. REMARKABLE IN THE DOG LINE Proud Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, 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 prowess to his fondness for the pipe Like Old King Cole: He calls for his pipe. He calls for his fiddlers three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a piano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." Since supporting race enterprises is right, men are coming to the doctrine with their mouths forgeting of the fact that talk is cheap. A Knowing Dog. "Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite about two miles away, I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best collie, look through it After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." Rater A captain on an ocean liner tells the following story: Coming from the old country was a very nervous old lady who complained that she was sure there was a rat in her stateroom. "Keep it there, madam," said the captain. "But do you like rats?" asked she. "I've got a nest in my cabin," retorted the brusque seaman, "and I never disturb them. When they leave the ship I do." "Why, you must be superstitious," urged the dame. "No, ma'am, wound up the captain. I'm not, but the rats are." Send Your News In Early This Week. HOW TO MEET A LION BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ETH QUETTE FOR OCCASION. If King of Beasts Falls to Realize He Is de Trop Tourist Should Walk Away With Becoming The etiquette to be observed when a peacefully inclined tourist or explorer meets a lion in the jungle is described by Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguished British surgeon, in the book, "Uganda for a Holiday," just published in England. "The tourist coming to British East Africa," he says, "is sure to inquire as to the line of conduct that should be observed when a lion is encountered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the following: If the lion when met with is walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should be allowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stop and stares at the tourist it is proper that the tourist should "Shish" the animal away, as he would an obtrusive goose on a village green. Should the lion be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist is advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature. If, after "bis," the lion still falls to realize that he is de trop, the tourist is recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands." Sir Frederick Treves has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. "The rhinoceros is the embodiment of blind conservatism," he writes. "It hides is impenetrable, its vision is weak, while its intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and a sense of smell. It is aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is new. This object need not be a thing that is aggressive or inconvenient. Its offensiveness depends upon the fact that it is unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. "When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal violence, although the man may be merely sitting on a stool reading Milton. The massive beast will dash at him like a torpedo or a runaway locomotive simply because the smell of him is novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innovation, the rhinoceros has charged an iron water tank on the outskirts of a camp and has crumpled it up as a blacksmith would an empty meat tain. "A conservative rhinoceros with a smile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda railway, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoceros in this case, it appeared surprised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an additional grievance and an increased swelling of the head." Tournament on Sea Horse 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 bay, on the north shore of Long Island, actual sea horses are daily capering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. The strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingeniously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an aggressive tail. As soon as one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, although tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by themselves, they are fiends incarnate as soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in a manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the beach at Huntington is a tournament in which armed knights, each astride of a prancing sea horse, face each other for battle royal. The riders are equipped with long lances, well wadded at the end with "stuffing." With there the knights paddle their course to each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins. Qualification for Office. The little trial I have had of public employment has been so much disgust to me; I feel at times temptations toward ambition rising in my soul; but I obstinately oppose them. "But thou, Catullus, be thou firm to the last." I am seldom called to it, and as seldom offer myself uncalled; liberty and laziness, the qualities most predominate in me, are qualities diametrically contrary to that trade. We cannot well distinguish the faculties of men; to conclude from the discreet conduct of a private life, a capacity for the management of public affairs, is to conclude ill; a man may govern himself well, who cannot govern others; and compose essays, who could not work effects; men there may who can order a siege well, or would ill marshrsl a battle: who can speak well in private, who would ill harangue a people or a prince; nay, tie peradventure rather a testimony in him, who can do the one, that he cannot do the other, than otherwien. From Montaigne.
