C., Jan. 11—Gov. Cole L. Blase, who has repeatedly inveighed against spending white people's taxes to educate Negroes, goes a step further in his annual message to the legislature and urges a law to prevent white persons from teaching Negroes; The governor declares a handsome little white woman in South Caraolina was seen showing affectionote familiarity to Negro children, her pupils, and fears it protends the breaking down of the color line. With reference to this matter the governor says: "It is commended that you pass an act prohibiting any white person from teaching in Negro schools or teaching Negro children. Teaching Colored Children means telling them they We boast that we have no social equality in South Carolina, yet white people are teaching in Negro Schools, who are associating with the pupils and teaching them that they are as good as white people and are instilling in their heads ideas of socaf equality. N0t long ago a white wom an and a good looking one, was seen walking on the Negro schol ground with one arm around a Negro boy and the other around a Negro girl. What do you expect to be the outcome of this kind of conduct? Stop it, and stop it now." Puts Lynching On False Basis. With reference to lynching the governor says that when a Negro assaults a white woman as just so long will lynching be had, regardless of how much the newspapers may howl and rage or who is governor." The governor recommends the adoption of a law prohibiting Negroes from belonging to secret societies he says: Cabel M. E.Church Excellent Concer The ladies Aid Society of the Cabbells Chapel M. E.

Consider The Condition As They are and not as they ought to be. Consider The Condition As They are and not as they ought to be. This Is Money For You And A Future For Your Offspring. Please pardon me for the unadulterated nerve we are taking to discuss a subject of this nature in our little folder. Feeling the time is at hand when the ancient idea should be branded with type of illiteracy and buried in the sea of antiquity, and the progressive idea should be the medicine prescribed for every family fireside. The importance of race pride engrafted in the minds of the future man and woman that they may see life in its purity and the sweet anthems overshadow their daily pursuit, then the wheel of time will begin to roll along the line of progress and change the conditions for brighter days. Reviewing the surrounding circumstances of a people, who have sold the birthright of their offspring, taught them to have no interest in home comfort, which is the most sacred place on earth, poison the mind of the little fellow against the race with whom he has to be identified, throws him upon the public highway unsurrounded with any future position, candidate for the city bastile and enroute for incarsecation to the common wealth of the country i which he lives for the sake of only one potate, and the poor fellow demourns and lamenting if that is the part he has to play under the protection of old glory, as she floats to and fro in the breeze of public sentiments, which is the medium by which all questions are settled in the garden spot of man and the home of the free. He becomes to be itinerate and drops in the way of the wrongdoer for easy riding. The result is that he is a criminal, and the question bespoken. The crime of that boy and the downfall of that girl rests upon the heads of the parents who have tortured him from the cradle to man and womanhood, and teaching him that there is no future for the race which he represents, notwithstanding his grandfather and great grandfather were factors in clearing up the country in which he lives. The future of that boy is plotted for the sake of only one potato. There is mother in a meditating position with a bright-eyed daughter sweet as the lily of the valley, looking her in the face, who should be the pride of her heart, reviewin g the prospective field, hoping by chance that some young man of marriageable age will drop in and propose to her, to become his better half that he may proclaim to the world that she is the mistress of the home which he represents. The future of that girl is blotted for the sake of only one potato. It is hurled from the holy sanctuary to deliver the goods; it appeals to me if the author of the thought was placed in the same attitude without the force of circumstances. It is a question: Could he deliver the goods? Oh, virtue, where art thou? Playing in some distant space under the great canopy of heaven beyond the reach of man. Are you in the reach of one who overshadows the little one in his infancy and teaching him to take the profits of his father's labor and give it to a people whose dog houses and outhouses and rummage houses are better houses than the one in which he lives, for the sake of only one potato. Consider the conditions as they ought to be. Those fleecy locks and dark complexion cannot forfeit nature's claim. Skins may differ, but the mechanism of all mankind is the same. No need of color line or segregating. We should be admissable to all religious assemblies and invited to all public inns and welcome to all public amendments and equal privilege and accommodations on all common cares as any other American born citizen, geradless of color or previous conditions. Men of the same rank, women of the same parment should walk breast to breast upon all lines pertaining to the vital interest of the commonwealth in which they live. Boys of the same attainment, girls of the same fitness, should share positions alike, regardless of previous conditions. And the achievement of position of the commonwealth would be obtainable by the fitness of the individual and we would be on an upward march for better conditions for ourselves and we could hope to share some of the political plums that comes by the gift of men. Consider the conditions as they are. We are consumers and not producers, we are laborers but not the favorite, imitators but not original, here but not wanted. There was once upon a time when we were the favorite sons of the following occupations: Barbering, shining parlors, cooking, portering, elevator boys, construction work, hod carrying and mortar making. But the future has changed the conditions, so we are loafers and street walkers. Shall we stop because the future has robbed us and placed foreigners in our former positions? Shall we give up all hopes and drift in the plains of idleness without considering the cause why prejudice is so high against a people whose grandfathers and great grandfathers gave the best part of their lives for the development of the country in which they live? The past has taught you that he needs ye not in the church going business, barbering business and the hotel business. If that is true of the past, he does not need you in any kind of business. But you take the profits of your labor and place them in a channel where you get no results, either direct or indirect, for the sake of only one potato. If I could only wake from their slumber such men as John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumpter, Harriet Beecher Stowe, whose bones are now bleaching in their graves, and who struck the first blow for freedom, then could only see a people who are deceiving and cheating their children out of a future for the sake of only one potato. Who is making any sacrifice to better the future condition of your boys and girls? Who is making any effort to establish any enterprises, make openings, positions, and fostering the future with the opulence for better opportunities? No, not one. CHAS. A. MORRIS.

Does Not Pay to Spend Much Time In Mending Hosiery—Are Useful in Making Rugs for the Nursery. In these halcyon days of guaranteed hosiery—at a very moderate price, too—it can be said with emphasis that it does not pay to spend much time darning stockings. When they have really begun to give out, the putting of a whole hour on a large heel hole is nothing less than wicked. The sensible housemother prefers to put by the ragged socks and stockings and to buy new rather than to spend on prolonging the life of a couple of pairs for two more wearings the time that would suffice to make a new outing shirt or simple tailored waist. But there is no need to throw old black stockings in the rag bag for want of ways to use them. First of all, a well worn black sock is one of the best things to be had for use in sponging off dark clothes with household ammonia or other cleaning fluid. It leaves no light colored lint, and is soft and absorbent to handle. A supply should be always in some convenient place if the men of the household have a way of wearing black or dark blue suits for everyday. Woven rag carpet is no longer a thing despised. Through the winter many home lovers return to the old fashion of sewing carpet rags, to be woven into serviceable rugs for nursery and sitting room, as well as for the furnishing of the summer bungalow. The touch of black is most desirable to set off the brighter stripes, and for this purpose old black stockings cut around and round in spiral fashion, or as an apple is peeled, to make a long strip, will be found useful to the very toe. One rotatable housewife uses stockings in the mop that she polishes floors and wipes up with, as they are softer than the mops usually sold. Wherefore, save the old stockings. Potato water is good to take mud stains from cloth. A root-bound fern soon indicates its condition by dropping fronds. Sunflower seeds make better bait than cheese for the mouse trap. It is better to wipe off meat with a wet cloth than to let water run over it. Jellied veal can be deliciously seasoned with lemon juice and celery salt. Equal parts of milk and lukewarm water are excellent for sponging palms. A pinch of borax in cooked starch will make the clothes stiffer and whiter. A bread pudding may be deliciously flavored by a few slices of candied orange peel. To place ferns upon the window sill means their death, as they cannot live in a cold draught. Dried lemon peel sprinkled over coals will destroy any disagreeable odor in the house. When blowing out a candle, hold it high and blow upward to keep the grease from running. Hot biscuits, generously buttered and spread with currant jelly are delicious served with game. A better iron rest than the ordinary metal stand is a firebrick, as it does not cool the iron so rapidly. Home-Made Vinegar. Save all your apple parings and put in crock or granite pan and cover with water, let stand a few days, then strain through a thin cloth. A large salt sack will do—and squeeze, but not hard enough so the parings will come through. Rinse all your syrup pails and pitchers and put in the juice, or you can put in a little brown sugar. Then set where it is warm and let work. If you will have any mother from old vinegar put that in, but it will make its' own mother. This makes good vinegar and saves buying at stores. Potato, Earl. Peel six large potatoes, cut them in halves lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving the shells about one-half inch in thickness. Season two cups of chopped raw beef with one tablespoonful of softened butter, one tablespoon of tomato catsup, one teaspoon of minced parsley, one-half teaspoon of minced onion, one-half teaspoon of salt and a few grains of pepper. Fill the potato shells with the meat, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and bake with equal parts of butter and hot water. Savory for a Beef Stew. (For about three pounds of meat.) Take one medium sized onion; stick it with three cloves; add one blade of mace, one teaspoonful of pepper-corns, one-half teaspoonful of allspice, one tablespoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of summer savory, one-half teaspoonful of thyme, one-half teaspoonful of marjoram; one tablespoonful of lemon juice, one tablespoonful of mushroom or tomato catup or a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. THE KITCHEN CABINET or serving and garnishing it will awaken a sluggish appetite. When serving a baked or fried fish and wish to add a sauce to further the food value and make it more attractive. E ARE constantly reminding ourselves not to waste money, but are we as careful of wasted time, wasted talents and wasted opportunities? CAREFULNESS IN LITTLE THINGS Most people are sufficiently watchful of the large leaks in household management, but the little leaks are those that often sink the great ship. It is necessary that a certain amount of care and thought should be directed toward even the simple processes of housekeeping, to make the machinery run smoother. If we are visitors in a home we do not care to hear the wheels go round, the most perfect running machinery, especially in the home, is the noiseless kind. The taking proper care of supplies after purchasing is hardly secondary in importance to intelligent buying. Perishable food should never be bought in large quantities beyond the needs of the family. Food left in paper bags that come from the markets are more apt to be flavored by the chemicals present in the paper. This is especially true of foods containing moisture. Cereals of all kinds should be kept in glass jars, tightly covered, in a cool place. Flour is highly absorbent and should be kept in a dry cool place. Butter and milk should never stand uncovered. Coffee should be bought in small quantities and ground as needed. Eggs are porous, and for this reason should never be placed near food of strong flavor. Soap should be unwrapped and piled in an open place to dry. Fruit should be spread out to prevent decay, and all portions of decayed fruit should be at once removed. Oiled papers that come in cracker boxes and other foods for wrapping should be carefully saved. They are useful for many things, wrapping sandwiches, eggs and are especially good after the second use, for cleaning flat irons while ironing. One of the old-fashioned wire coffee stands make the best kind of a trivet for use in boiling puddings in a cloth. It is sufficiently high to hold the pudding well up from the bottom of the kettle. When making ginger cookies, try a cup of coffee left from breakfast for the liquid instead of milk. The flavor is excellent with ginger. MAKE the home-coming sweet! The gladness of going SOME HOT BREAKFAST DISHES. For a cold frosty morning a hot cake is most acceptable. Waffles are cakes that are more wholesome than the ordinary griddle cakes as they are cooked crisp and brown. Waffles—Mix and sift one and a fourth cups of flour with a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of soda. Separate the whites and yolks of two eggs, beat well and add one cupful of thick sour milk to the yolks; strin in the dry ingredients and add three tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Cut and fold in the whites of the eggs and bake on a well-greased waffle iron. Oatmeal Muffins—Mix and sift together one and one-half cupfuls of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of sugar. Cut in one-fourth of a cup of butter, add a half of a cup of milk gradually, one beaten egg and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, with a cup of cooked oatmeal. Bake in muffin rings placed in a buttered pan. Breakfast Savory.—Have ready two tablespoonfuls of butter, half an onion, a cup of diced bread, five eggs, a teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of pepper; melt the butter in a saucepan, add the chopped onion and fry brown, add the diced bread, brown this, add salt, pepper and put into the other mixture, toss with a fork until the eggs are set. Serve immediately. Baked Riced Potatoes.—Riced potatoes are excellent if put again through a ricer and placed in a buttered baking dish with plenty of seasonings and baked a delicate brown. ZE is not strenth. Reputation Not the cry, but the rising of the wild duck impels the flock to follow him in its upward flight. —Ancient Chinese Saying. DISHES A LITTLE OUT OF THE ORDINARY. Variety is the spice of life, and often a change of food, a different manner or serving and garnishing it will awaken a sluggish appetite. When serving a baked or fried fish, and wish to add a sauce to further the food value and make it more attractive, try: **Green Sauce for Fish.**—Make a good rich white sauce, using much rich milk, or, better, cream in the making. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add an equal amount of flour and when thoroughly cooked add a cup of rich milk or thin cream. Cook until smooth, add yolk of egg, beaten, and two tablespoonfuls of cooked spinach put through a sieve. Season well with white pepper and salt and fold in a quarter of a cup of thick whipped cream just before serving. **Baked Corn With Minced Meat.**—Into two large cups of corn put a cup ful of minced chicken or ham, one half cup of thin cream; season with salt, pepper and onion juice, add one egg beaten. Mix and put into a baking dish, cover with crumbs and bake. Dot with bits of butter and serve. **Combination Salad.**—For this salad there is a wide range, as one may use almost any vegetable or fruit. Too many kinds of either fruits or vegetables are not good to serve, or too many colors. A few string beans that have been marinated in a little French dressing and added to potato salad, makes a good combination. Any little left-overs like corn or bits of green peppers are also an addition to a plain potato salad. One should not forget to add a little shredded onion for flavor to almost every vegetable salad. A few cut-up dates or figs or raisins added to an apple salad, or in fact almost any fruit salad. The pineapple is delicious to the taste, a remedy for indigestion and an all-round good fruit tonic. In combination with grape fruit it makes a most delectable salad with French dressing. HERE are no shackles which persistent reason and dogged labor can't rend asunder. HERE are no shackles which persistent reason and dogged labor can't rend asunder. Nothing is hopeless to determination. This earth belongs to us to do with as we dare. —Herbert Kaufman. SOME COMPANY SALADS. When serving luncheon or dinner to a few friends, one likes to have a salad that is a little unusual for the occasion. Here are a few to choose from: Goldsmith Salad—Take a half cup of apples minced fine, one-fourth of a cup of minced celery, a fourth of a cup of chopped hickory nut meats, a fourth of a cup of chopped green pepper and olives mixed. Serve in green pepper cups and garnish with mayonnaise dressing. Apple, nuts and celery served in head lettuce is a simpler salad and one that is generally liked. Mayonnaise may be served with this or a plain, less expensive, boiled dressing. Salad plants contain but little nourishment. Their chief value lies in the mineral salts they contain, and when mixed with dressings of oil they are of as much value to the system as food. Lettuce and green vegetables, if allowed to stand in a dressing, will wilt, so it is best to keep the lettuce crisp and fresh, and serve it freshly prepared. Grape Fruit or Pomelo Salad.—There is no fruit salad equal in delicuosity to that prepared with carefully-removed sections of grape fruit added very gently to celery and nuts, and mixed with mayonnaise. Sometimes even the nuts will crush the fruit and the utmost care should be used in mixing the salad, otherwise the juice is crushed from the fruit and the salad is watery and unsightly. Grape Fruit and Cherry.—Cut the ripe fruit in halves, using the large cherries when obtainable. Cut the grape fruit and remove the sections with care; let all stand a few moments in French dressing to season. Serve with mayonnaise on lettuce and garnish with maraschino cherries. A Novel Salad A delicious and dainty salad—good at all times—is made by laying a slice of canned Hawaiian pineapple on a lettuce leaf. Heat a knife and spread cream or neufchatelle cheese over the pineapple; arrange pointed strips of pimento like the petals of a poinsettia over the cheese; heap mayonnaise in the center and put a stuffed olive on top. Obedient Girl Mrs. Goaph—My daughter, you should cultivate a sweeter disposition toward the young men. Remember that "vinegar never catches flies." Miss Goaph—But, mamma, you allways caution me not to permit any tiy young men to call. Watts, Franklin—Love your neighbor as yourself, but don't take down your fence. IDEAS FOR HOME BUILDERS BY WM.A.RADFORD. 9024X Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is without doubt, the highest authority on the subject of building and will address to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A cottage house requires a little more room on the ground that a two-story house having the same amount of floor area. Sometimes builders claim that such houses cost more because of the extra foundation and the extra roof; but if you steal a little space from the gables, the way this plan does it, you get more room and more comfort than you have with the ordinary restricted two-story house. The foundation and roof to cover two different floors, one above the other, may not cost much more than a foundation and roof of the same size to cover one floor, but there are arguments both ways. It is a question that builders have never settled, and one they never can settle, because individual tastes differ and requirements are different in each case. If a person prefers the comfortable home look of a low, wide house, that is the proper thing to build, provided, of course, that conditions are favorable for such a dwelling. Generally speaking, in a village or the suburbs of a large town, a cottage looks better than the ordinary cheap two-story house, because it is easier to give it a cozy, home-like appearance. The higher you get up into the air, the more difficult it is to design at moderate cost a house that will offer a pleasing appearance as you approach it from a distance. The house design here shown can be worked into a very cozy, comfortable home, at a cost of about $2,700. It gives four good-sized rooms downstairs, with three bedrooms on the second floor, and a great many conveniences by way of closets and cupboards of different kinds. In a cottage house, it seems to be the most satisfactory to have the bathroom on the first floor, because you always want one or two bedrooms downstairs, as the upstairs in a house of this kind is not used except when necessary. You live downstairs. The ceilings are high; the rooms are light and airy; and everybody seems to prefer the first floor in a cottage house. In this design very little room is PORCH KITCHEN 10'0"X12'0" PATIOR 27'20" CLOS BED ROOM 10'0"X12'0" PASS DINING ROOM 14'3"X12'0" HALL CLOS RECEPTION ROOM 9'42"X9' LIVING ROOM 14'0"X12'0" CLOS WEST PORCH 24'0"X12'0" First Floor Plan. taken up by hallways. Architects have been laboring a great many years to get away from long, dark halls. A desirable combination of rooms very often leads to awkward passageways. This should be avoided, even if you have to discard all your pet ideas in building to accomplish it. The reception room in this house cannot be counted in as a hallway, because it really is part of the living room. The idea is to have all the front part of the house open and free. The modern tendency in building seems to be, also, to get as far away as possible from the old-fashioned, closed-up parlor. We occasionally find houses in country places where the old-fashioned parlor still occupies the best part of the house. It is cleaned twice a year, and closed up the rest the time, except when company comes or when there is a funeral in the family. At such times, one window is opened a few inches if the weather is warm enough; but the room retains its damp, musty odor and gruesome associations. Entertaining company in such houses is an unusual occurrence. Visitors never feel at home, and they don't come again for quite a long while. The best Second Floor Plan. houses today have no "parlors," even the name has been discarded as far as possible. Instead, we now have a good, big "living room" that is light, comfortable and well ventilated, with a corner for each member of the family and with space enough left for their friends. This room is made as bright and cheerful as possible, and furnished in such a way as to invite confidence. The chairs are heavy, and there is a great big davenport or a wide lounge that looks substantial and feels comfortable. You are not fraid to sit down in the best chair in the room, because it looks strong and it is covered with some kind of material built for wear instead of mere attractive appearance. A good appearance, however, is by no means sacrificed, but is merely incidental to the serviceable qualities of the furniture. Such rooms usually are found in the house of large-hearted, brainy people, who have the interests of their families and friends at heart—people who entertain pleasantly and agreeably because their hearts are in the right place. They may not "put on" a great deal of style, but they understand how to dispense hospitality in a natural, comfortable way that puts every guest at perfect ease. They get more out of life because of it, and their influence in the community spreads the spirit of genial intercourse and is good and uplifting to all. "NIGHT SWEATS" A WARNING Proof of Disorder in the Allimentary Canal, According to John Nelson Goltra, A. M., M. D. The "night sweats" which come on some times in the early stages of consumption are due, not to the presence of the tubercle bacilli in the lungs, but to the absorption of poisons from the disordered alimentary canal. The proofs of this statement are, first, that the night sweats sometimes occur when there is no other evidence of tuberculous infection, and secondly, that when the intestinal tract is thoroughly purified the night sweats will invariably stop. If after that the strength is carefully conserved, and good fresh air is admitted to the lungs night and day, and a wholesome and varied diet containing only small proportions of proteids (lean meat, white of egg and cheese), but plenty of starches and sugars, and a moderate amount of fats is supplied, the person will go on slowly to overcome the disease and get well. But if, as usually happens, unfortunately, the digestive errors are not corrected, the sweating and the washing of the body go on. In later stages both these are increased by the poisoning from the lungs, and by in sufficient aeration of the blood. --- "The Round-Up" Coming to Wichita. The attraction at the New Crawford theater, Wichita, for limited engagement of two nights and Tuesday matinee, beginning Monday evening, February 19th, will be Klaw & Erlanger's massive production, "The Round Up." Theatrical history does not record such a towering success as the "Round-Up." It is the great American play of the hour. Every character and scene in the piece breathes the life of the great Southwest. The enthusiastic interest displayed by every audience is the most flattering endorsement this really great production can receive. The battle scene in the third act is a stupendous stage effect, the like of which has never been seen before. The appearance of twenty mounted Indians riding along a lodge of rock for above the stage level is a thrill indeed, but it is surpassed in the great incident at the end of the third act when "Slim" Hoover, the sheriff, and a troop of cavalrymen are shown in actual hand-to-hand fight with a band of Apache Indian mauders escaped from their reservation. There have been great thrills presented on the stage in years past, but nothing that touches this in point of realism has ever been seen in any theater in the world. In the last act a group of cowboys are shown riding bronchos—bucking bronchos. This, to, is a novel never before attempted in an indoor attraction. The magnitude of this production is such that it can only be played in a few cities in the largest theaters. Its performances here are the only chance those living within a reasonable journey to Wichita will have of seeing this tremendous dramatic sensation. So great is the demand for seats from those living at a distance from Wichita that a special bureau has been established for the expeditious handling of mail orders which when sent with cash or money order and accompanied by addressed stamped envelope, receive immediate attention. There will be no advance in prices: 25c, 50c, 75c and $1.00 and $1.50. Popular Tuesday matinee, 25c, 50c, 75c and $1.00. His Last Dollar. The play which won David Higgins tremendous success in the east for five straight seasons, "His Last Dollar" was given by the Wolfe Stock company at the Auditorium last night and proved a winner. The play is still of southern atmosphere, pretty women, Kentucky horse racing, interesting love-making and humor. The scenic effects are unusually fine, particularly the moonlight scene in Act III and the great racing scene in Act IV. In this act over $200 worth of racing properties are used on the stage. Several horses are in this act. Mongrel, the Kentucky thoroughbred racer which Braxton (Richardson) rides in the futurity event is ReRegal, a fine riding horse from the Sturgeon stables. Joe Braxton, millionaire racing enthusiast, Kentuckian, was splendidly taken by Walter P. Richardson, who put up a lot of southern accent in his talk as did Jane Morgan in her part of Elanor Downs, a daughter of old Kaintuck, beautiful and fascinating. The southern tongue is always attractive to a northerner and endearing to southern blood. "His Last Dollar" teems with clever and dramatic situations. The futurity race was great and created prolonged applause and several curtains to the winning horse and rider. Herbert Dobbins as Tom Simpson was as mean and intriguing and false as is possible for a human being to be and live. Viola Grayson (Katheryn Perry), balanced her side of the adventurer's part equally with Tom Simpson and they were a pair to draw to for villainy. Jack Marvin as Chester Lonsdale, an Englishman, does his part with all the life and attractiveness that this likeable actor puts into his work. T. Ashton Magrane made a very laughable Jew and Mary Maxwell as Mrs. Giles presented a handsome stage appearance. The rest of the parts in the case were well taken by the balance of the company. The cast is a large one and calls for the entire company. Altogether it is one of the most attractive. The above criticism appeared in The Eagle after the first performance of "His Last Dollar" at the Auditorium two weeks ago. The play will be repeated this week, by popular demand on account of the hundreds who were unabel to gain admission at its first production.

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. ```markdown ``` Send your news notes and local happiness to 630 N.

Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When do you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of mediocrity? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the quality of courage was so absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others.—Success Magazine. Trade With These Advertisers.

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 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 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 plashing they dance, they sing, they watch freeworks 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.

His baptismal name was George, and he was born February 22 in the year 1732. The old colony of Virginia was HE real name of the first president of the United States was not Washington. His baptismal name was George, and he was born February 22 in the year 1732. The old colony of Virginia was his birthplace, but the true name of his male ancestors was not Washington. This may seem a sweeping statement in the light of generally accepted history, but careful research has established beyond doubt that the ancient founder of the family from which came the Father of our Country was named William De Hertburn. The key to this apparent paradox lies in the fact that, in common with many noblemen and monarchs of Europe, the first president possessed an estate name and a real, or family name, the latter being known as the patronymic, or paternal name. The first Washingtonts were of French, and not English, origin, and were numbered among the powerful knights of the northern portion of France. When the Duke of Normandy conceived the ambition of becoming King of England he called to his aid the Catholics of France, and among those who responded to his appeal was an ancestor of George Washington. The duke gathered his soldiers about him and announced that by right and promise he deserved and intended to be the new King of England. His spirited address had the desired effect and the knights and their vassals thronged to the standard until there was soon gathered under the leadership of William, Duke of Normandy, the greatest army France had ever mustered, ready for the field and thirsting for the glories of conquest. Among the many banners thrown to the breeze appeared the shield of the multi-great-grandfather of our own George Washington. His name was William de Hertburn. The 60,000 followers of the duke set sail in 3,000 vessels of war for the English coast and landed without oposition, because of the English King Harold's conflict with the Norwegians in another part of his invaded domains. On October 14, 1066, the rival armies met, and on the field of Hastings took place one of the most terrific battles in the history Washington's Crested Carriage. of England. William of Normandy was the victor, and King Harold, with tens of thousands of his English, was among the slain. The victorious French marched to London, and on Christmas day they proclaimed their dashing leader "William I, Conqueror and King of England." King William, like all his French knights, loved the French ideals of government, church and home, and infused into the old English national and domestic life all the customs of his native land. Even the English language, which William never could learn, was gradually set aside, and among the loyal French knights who assisted the Conqueror in enforcing his reforms was the distant kin of George Washington. This early ancestor of our first president was numbered among the intimates of the King, and was one of the leaders of the French Conquest. In the past, American historians, possibly because of the strong influence upon literature exercised by England, placed the Washington ancestry as beginning in that country; but careful investigation bears out the statement that the Washingtons were of definite and direct French origin. They were French both in sentiment and training, and the original name was De Herburn. Naturally the question arises, why was the name changed, and what induced these faithful French subjects of William of Normandy to assume an English cognomen? The explanation is simple enough. William the Conqueror was a careful and far-seeing man. He realized that his usurpation of the English throne was a very radical departure in a governmental experiment, to say the least; and he was anxious to mould the people, whom he had made his vassals by dint of the strong hand, into as close duplicates of the French as possible. In other words, he strove to implant the French ideals into the English character as deeply as circumstances permitted. The compelled heraldic records found in the pages of the famous "Doomsday Book" is undoubtedly the best evidence that the King wished to make his radical campaign of permanent record, and hence a great number of men of education and ability were occupied in diligently surveying and noting all the land and water conditions of England. They also in these visitations made lengthy entries as to the original English estate owners as M. H. Graves of Washington's Ancestors at Sulgrave, England. well as an accurate record of the biographical and heraldic character of the new or French proprietors. And in this last seemingly unnecessary entry appears the statement that the brave, ever reliable Knight, Sir William De Hertburn, for military service to William I, be granted with feudal rights and power the extensive estate known as Wessington, and henceforth said Sir Knight shall be known as Sir William de Wessington; but he shall still be a vassal of the bishop and his heraldic denomination shall continue to be, Arms: Argent, two bars gules (red); in chief, three mullets of the second. Crest: A raven with wings endorsed proper, issuing out of a ducal coronet or (gold)." As a further demonstration of the importance of the De Hertburns, or "Wessyngtons," history furnishes the information that the estate in question was under the command of the Bishop of Durham, and situated in a locality exposed to the attack of the Scots of northern England. On this border there was constant warfare, and the king naturally selected the bravest and most warlike of his adherents to hold lands in the disputed district. For nine years this country between. Durham and York was laid waste, and for ten years it was practically a desert, no man having the courage to attempt cultivation of the blasted fields or inhabit the ruined towns. One hundred thousand people died in this debatable strip of land, and there, where active hostilities ever reigned, the Dear Hertburns, or Wessyngtons, were stationed. This record of the great family is absolutely authentic in every detail, having been proved by minute research and personal visits to the locality where its members were lords of the soil—a task which embraced fifteen years of heraldic investigation. Later the estate known as Wessyngton was spelled and entered officially as Wessington, the proprietor assuming the same name. Then it was recorded as Washington, and a natural change of the owner's name in accordance with that of his land followed. The proprietors became known as William, John, Lawrence, Robert and Nicholas De Washington. Finally the heraldic shields and French prefix of "De" was dropper, and the modern spelling of W-a-s-h-i-n-g-t-o-n prevailed. The Washingtonts were very prominent in the military as well as the civic phases of English life. In the days of Henry VIII, when that monarch was in conflict with the pope of Rome, Lawrence Washington sided with the king, and the latter confiscated the monasteries, convents and churches of the Roman Catholic church, giving to this Washington the Sulgrave estate, where for over a century the Washington family ruled su- preme. A decline in their fortunes then appears to have taken place, for in 1620, the year the Pilgrims set sail for America, the Washington were practically driven from the Sulgrave estate to take up residence at Brighton with minor manors and holdings. The loss of the hundreds of acres of rich meadows and harvest fields was in a measure counteracted by the marriage of a Sir William Washington to a sister of George Villiars, Duke of Buckingham. This union brought about new alliances and affiliations which made Washington possible in America, and ultimately led to the rearing of George Washington to be the military leader of the colonies and eventually our first chief executive. This marriage brought the Washington family into direct domestic social and court relationship with the prominent and powerful favorite of the then reigning monarch, and political circumstance destined the Washington to espouse the cause of the king, rather than the idol of the Commons—Oliver Cromwell. The Washington performed heroic services for the king, but when Cromwell proved victorious and seized the reins of government, they found England to be no longer a safe dwelling place. Prison sentences, exile and death was EXITUS ACTA PROBAT Washington's True Coat-of-Arms. the unhappy lot of the royalists, or King's Cavaliers; and rather than bow to one whom they looked upon as a usurper, many of the Washingtonts fled to foreign lands. John and Lawrence, brothers, came to Virginia, the former being the grandfather of George Washington, the first president of the United States. Among the distinguished Washington's who escaped persecution by flight from England was one whose identity genealogists long sought vainly to verify—the brother of General George Washington's great grandfather. This Washington's name was James, and he fled to Rotterdam, Holland, where in 1650 he wedded Clara Vander Larsen, daughter of the mayor of the port. From this union was derived the present Dutch and German Washington's a sturdy folk who adapted themselves to these governments under which they have held and are at present holding official positions of high station. One of these German Washington's offered his services in a military capacity to the United States consul at Frankfort-on-Main in 1862. He expressed himself as anxious to enlist in the Union army, and presented the consul with a verified genealogical chart prepared from the records of the Dutch government. This gentleman was Baron de Washington. The statement has been certified by William W. Murphy, consul at that point, and attested by the Honorable Frederick Kapp, of New York City, who was visiting in Germany and wrote a letter in which the circumstances were fully described. The original correspondence and data in my possession relating to the Dutch and German Washington's prove the baron to have been a direct lineal Washington's Ancestors at Sulgrave, descendant of the James Washington who landed in Holland in 1650. He married a Bavarian lady and held a certificate of honorable discharge showing that he had been a lieutenant in the Bavarian army. To obtain a commission as officer in the Federal army was his wish, but because of the inability of our consul to assure him of this honor, and possibly because he deemed that sufficient respect had not been shown to one of such noted ancestry, he did not emigrate to the United States. However, before the interview was closed, he deposited with the American consul a certified genealogical chart on which the following appears: "Baron de Washington is a direct descendant of the ancient and honorable Washington family of England, the earliest emigrant to Holland being James Washington, one of the four brothers of Stuart sympathizers (Charles I). James came to Holland in 1650, his two brothers emigrated to Virginia, and the third brother remained in England, where he was serving as a divine." This remarkable bit of genealogical history gives the earliest and most authentic record of the Dutch and German Washington, of which there are many and of whom the church records abound in entries of marriages, births and deaths. Further investigation brings to light the fact that this earliest Dutch emigrant, James, was married in the English church of Rotterdam, all of which tends to corroborate that he was of English training. Baron de Washington was born in 1833, and his brother Max married the Duchess of Oldenburg and in this way became connected with one of the oldest sovereign families of Europe. The House of Oldenburg is the prime branch of the Holstein-Gottorp stock, which has given emperors to Russia and Kings to Denmark, and is prominently related to the present King of England, George V. And Jacob Washington was first leutenant of the Dutch navy in 1845, this branch being related to the wealthy banking firm, Cornellus L. Keurenaur of The Hague. Upwards of seventy-five Washingtons are numbered among the inhabitants of Holland and Bavaria. Hence the Washingtons, in the farthest genealogical tracings, hall from France. We next find them in England and then in Holland and Bavaria. Regarding the Washingtonian coat-of-arms some odd discoveries have also come to light. Quite contrary to our American belief the Washington shield does not contain "stars and stripes," notwithstanding that more than a thousand books and as many more published articles so proclaim it. The facts are that the Washington shield contains "bars and mullets (spurs of the Knight's boots)." The earliest reference which I have been able to find which announces the Washington shield blazoned with stars and stripes, relates to a public banquet at Baltimore, Maryland, in 1851, where the ideas of an English poet—Martin Tupper by name—were voiced, proclaiming that the American flag, with its heraldic notions, was borrowed from the Washington shield, which possessed stars and stripes. Ever since this banquet American authors and orators have, without further investigation, accept- ed the statement as correct. The English poet was misled by his fervid fancy, for the Heralds' College at London, the highest authority on British heraldry, writes as follows: "A Washington shield with stars and stripes (pales) has never been of record." It is altogether probable that Tupper, as well as others, was deceived by the shape of the "mullets." These spurs, as worn by the knights of old, were round in form, resembling modern coq-wheels somewhat, and their bristling points possibly suggested the "stars" of which Tupper spoke. Hundreds of writers have also announced that the crest on General George Washington's coast-of-arms is an eagle, and that this family emblem was the foundation of the suggestion that the eagle be the emblem of the American republic. While the crest may appear like an eagle, the facts are that the heraldic grant of arms to this Washington branch present a ra- ven issuing from a golden ducal crown, the crest of the family. Furthermore, Washington himself clearly shows by correspondence with the Herald's office at London that it was not an eagle, and the letter is dated ten years after the earl had become the emblem of the republic (June 20, 1782). His letter was sent from Phil- TESTIMONY OF FIVE WOMEN Proves That Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Reliable. Reedville, Ore.—"I can truly recommend Lydia E.

Representative Dan Anthony of Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth Times, once had an office boy who yearned to know how to use a typewriter — which accomplishment, the boy figured, would make him a regular reporter. Anthony turned an old broken-down machine over to him, says the Washington Herald, and bade him learn to run it. "What'll I write?" the boy asked. "Oh, just take some sentence, any sentence at all." Anthony told him, "and see how long it will take you to fill a page with it." The boy sat to work. An hour or two later Anthony chanced to notice the page on which the lad had been working. From top to bottom of the sheet, and from margin to margin, the boy had written one sentence over and over again until there was scarcely a white spot visible on the paper. The sentence the boy had selected to practice with was: "Who the —— invented school?" "Does your wife win at bridge?" "I don't know for sure," replied Mr. Meekton, "but I think so. The women all look as if they disliked her very much, but they keep on inviting her to play." Certainly. Guide—No one has ever been able to find out what the Sphinx stands for—whom it represents!

Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ills A California woman who didn't know for twenty years what kept her ill, writes to tell how she won back her health by quitting coffee: "I am 64 years old," she says, "have used coffee all my life, and for 20 years suffered from indigestion and insomnia. Life was a burden and a drag to me all the time, and about once a year my ailments got such hold upon me that I was regularly 'sick in bed' for several weeks each time. "I was reluctant to conclude that coffee was the cause of my trouble, but I am thankful that I found out the truth." "Then I determined to use Postum exclusively—for a week at first—for I doubted my ability to do without coffee for any length of time. I made the Postum carefully, as directed, and before the week expired had my reward in a perceptible increase in strength and spirits. "Seeing the good that my short experiment had accomplished, I resolved to continue the use of Postum, cutting out the coffee entirely. This I did for nine months, finding, daily, increased cause for gratification at my steadily improving health. My indigestion gradually left me, my sleep returned, I gained 26 pounds in weight, my color changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy hue and life became a blessing. "Then I thought I would try coffee again, and did so for a few weeks. The punishment for deserting my good friend, Postum, was a return of my old troubles. "That taught me wisdom, and I am now and shall be all my life hereafter using Postum exclusively and enjoying the benefits it brings me." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The Washington crest, "a raven issuing from a ducal coronet, gold," was evidently given because of the sportsmanship of the early English Washington. In fact the crow, falcon and hawk have been for more than four hundred years the emblem of sport. The pastime of hawking was engaged in only by the wealthy and the Washington were noted for their love of hunting and sporting. Benson J. Lossing lent some color to the foregoing conclusion when he wrote of the English Washington: "For more than two hundred years the De Wessyngtons, or Washington, were conspiring after their kind (robber knights) fighting, hawking, carousing and gaming." This grant of the raven was in 1500, at about the same time that hawking was at its height as a sport, for at about the same period we find that in Spain the son of Columbus attempted to prove that his father was of aristocratic and also of heraldic family in that "he was of a people who kept their own hawks." This alone, in those days, stamped the man as a falconer, as only people of high social standing were permitted by license to engage in that enjoyment; hence a raven, a falcon, a crow or a hawk on the shield or crest indicated prominence. This sporty and hunting disposition of the Washingtons was distinctly manifested in the Washingtons of Virginia, of which our first president also gave liberal expression. There are five distinct Washington shields, but in the heraldic records they are pronounced of the same origin, as follows: A silver (argent) shield upon which are two red (gules) bars; in the top (chief) three red mullets (spurs of knights' boots). A red (gules) shield with a single EXITUS ACTA PROBAT white (silver) bar charged with three mullets. A red shield with a white bar upon which are three cinguefollies, also red. A red shield with two bars white, in chief three martlets. A shield of four bars, white and red, three mullets. A shield in green, a lion rampant in white, within a border gobonated white and blue. These constituted the heraldic arms of all Washington people as recorded in the English College of Heralds. Washington was fond of genealogical investigations, and in the College of Heralds can be seen a score or more of pages he wrote at various times in his eager search after family arms and crests. He was proud of his heraldic ancestors, and this family estimate is well expressed in the frequency with which he blazoned the Washington shields upon his choice tokens and valuables. Many such instances may be noted in his heraldic watch charms, his several personal seals; the doors of his carriages; the porcelain of his dinner set; the silver ware of his liquor service; the fireplace and the mirrors; the picture frames and his library walls; his bookplate and his saddle, and practically everything upon which a family signature or shield might be engraved, painted or printed. The illness of Sir Isaac Heard, the head of the English department of heraldry, closed the correspondence relating to Washington's eager attempt to prepare a Washington genealogy and origin and evolution of the family coat-of-arms. This interesting correspondence has never yet been scripturally reproduced, and it is to be regretted that a continuance of the investigation was disturbed by illness, since many disputed biographical problems would doubtless have been solved.

TAKE A DOSE OF PISO'S THE BEST MEDICINE for COUGHS & COLDS --- INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By Rev. William Erans, D. D., Director Bible Course Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 18. MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. LESSON TEXT -Mark 1:1-8; Luke 3:1-20. MEMORY VERSES-Luke 3:8, 9 or 17. GOLDEN TEXT -Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.-Matt. 3:2. The story of John the Baptist's ministry, opening as it does with a prophetic reference, connects the Old and the New Testaments, showing the New to be the fulfillment of the Old. Thus we say: The Old is in the New contained, the New is in the Old explained; the Old is in the New concealed, the New is in the Old revealed. Christ is the theme and unifier of both Testaments. If he had not been coming, the Old would not have been written; if he had not come, the New would not have been written. What a strange impression this fiery preacher of the wilderness, John, must have made upon his hearers! His dress, as his message, bore the marks of the wild. Strange. It is not, that such a one should be chosen to prepare the way for the Messiah! We might have chosen a different instrument—a well dressed, polished, eloquent, silver-tongued orator. The Baptist's message had its basis in the word of God—"The word of God came unto John in the wilderness." That is where every pulpit message ought to come from. The business of the preacher and teacher of Christ is not to invent a gospel, but to proclaim one already provided. The Bible is the final critic of the message. John's ministry was preparatory; it looked forward to the coming of something better. Just as John himself gave way to Christ, so his message of repentance made room for faith in Christ. John baptized with water unto repentance. The Baptists's ministry went no farther than that. Jesus Christ turned the water of John's baptism into steam by the fire of the Holy Ghost. John prepared; Jesus regenerated. The necessity for repentance cannot be overlooked in this lesson. In a sense, it is the first step into the Kingdom. Both John and Jesus began their ministry with a call to repentance. Repentance is clearly defined in this lesson as a turning from a life of sin to a life of righteousness. There are three elements in repentance: First, the intellect is involved—it is a change of mind or viewpoint; second, the emotions are involved—it means to have a care regarding the thing in question, so we find the words "sigh," "grief" substituted for repentance; third, the will plays a prominent part in repentance, for there is included in the word the idea of an after-thought, resulting in a change in one's course of action. Repentance is not only a heart broken for sin, but also from sin. That this is John's meaning of repentance is clear from his exhortation to those who asked him the meaning of his call to repentance—exact no more than that which is appointed you; do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance. A little boy was once asked the meaning of repentance. He replied: "It means being sorry enough for a thing so as not to do it again." John preached the wrath to come. Evidently he believed in future punishment. He did not believe that the desire to escape future punishment was sufficient or the best reason why men should receive Jesus Christ. And it may be that no man really becomes a Christian who seeks to be one only that he may escape the results of his sin. We are saved that we may glorify God in the life that now is as well as to be delivered from the wrath to come. He who does not serve Christ here will not dwell with him in heaven. The fact of wrath and future punishment is not an invention of modern theology. Christ believed in it and taught it when he referred to the "worm that deth not, and the fire that is not quenched," and pictured the ungodly being cast into "everlasting fire." We should have to blot out a large part of the Bible if we were to blot out all the Scriptures which teach future retribution for sin. When we consider the fearful atrocities perpetrated upon the sons of men, the frightful iniquities practiced upon helpless women and children, and then see the ease and luxury and splendor in which the perpetrators of these crimes live, we would be very sorry to be assured that there is no future retribution for the perpetrators of such deeds. Give the justice of heaven the same degree of common sense consideration that you give to the justice of earth, and somewhere in the other world you must place a penitentiary. John's preaching grew the crowds, and so will the preaching and teaching of the Gospel today, when proclaimed by men as consecrated to their mission as John the Baptizer was to his. The crowd have not tired of the Gospel, but only of the average preacher of the Gospel. The messenger, and not the message, is at fault. The hearts of men with all their needs, as well as the Gospel of Christ with all its power, is the same today as when Christ walked upon the earth. John was a bold preacher, and a study of his life shows us that he died because of his bold rebuke of Herod's sin. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart COST OF GRAIN GROWING IN CENTRAL CANADA COST OF GRAIN GROWING IN CENTRAL CANADA A careful canvass made of a number of men farming in a large way indicates that even with the extreme expense of harvesting the crop, which has been caused by the bad weather and difficulty in threshing, wheat has been produced and put on the market for less than 55 cents a bushel. The average freight rate is not over 13 cents per bushel. This would make the cost of production and freight 68 cents and would leave the farmer an actual margin on his low-grade wheat of $17\frac{1}{2}$ cents and for his high-grade wheat of $19\frac{1}{2}$ cents; and though this is not as large a profit as the farmer has every right to expect, it is a profit not to be despised, and which should leave a very fair amount of money to his credit when all the expenses of the year have been paid, unless the value of low-grade wheat sinks very much below its present level. A matter of importance to the prospective settler is that of the cost of production. The following table has been prepared after careful investigation: Interest on 320 acres, value $50 per acre, 3 years at 6 per cent interest.....$ Interest on horses, machinery, wagons, ploughs, harrows, etc., to operate 320 acres—say $2,500 for 3 years.....$ Getting 320 acres ready for crop first year, doing one's own work, with hired help, about $3.50 per acre.....$ Getting 320 acres ready for crop, second and third year, about $1.25 per acre per year, or $2.50 per acre 2 years one's own work and hired help.....$ Seed per year, wheat, per acre $1.25, 3 years.....$ Seeding, 320 acres, 25 cents per acre, 3 years.....$ Twine, 320 acres, 30 cents per acre, 3 years.....$ Harvesting, 320 acres, 30 cents per acre, 3 years.....$ Marketing, 320 acres, estimate 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, 3 cents per bushel, or 9 cents per bushel for 3 years.....$ Threshing 320 acres, estimate 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, 6 cents per bushel per year or 18 cents per 2 years. Cr. By wheat crop farm 320 acres for 3 years, average 20 bushels per acre per year for 3 years, or a total of 60 bushels, = 19,200 bushels at 80 cents per bushel.....$15,360.00 Balance to credit of farm aft. er 3 years operation, $2,- 563.00 per year..... 7,526.00 "To operate 480 acres would cost less in proportion, as the plant required for 320 acres would do for the larger farm, and the interest on plant for the extra 160 acres would be saved." The figures given may be open to criticism, but they will be found to be reasonably accurate, with a fairness given to the expense columns. There are those who profess to do the work at a much less cost than those given. Happy Future. Apropos of the marriage at Reigate of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and Mrs. Hollis McKim, a New York man said on the Olympic: "I met Vanderbilt at the Metropole at Brighton a few days after the ceremony, and I said to him, by way of a joke: "Well, is the course of true love going to run smooth?"

HE WAS SOMEWHAT PEEVED Attendant at Spiritualistic Seance Considered Himself Aggrieved and Sald So. Charles M. Cross of Indianapolis thinks variety adds spice to life, so he went to a spiritualistic service. It was a lively affair with sepulchral voices sounding through trumpets, tambourines playing mysteriously in mid air, and cold, clammy hands of partially materialized men and women making free in the dusky room with those who were in the flesh. In the midst of it something dealt Mr. Cross a vicious whack on the nose and he called for lights in a tone not to be disobeyed. With the light the circle as disclosed was all natural and human again. The most human member of it was Mr. Cross, with a bloody nose, spoiling for a fight and all the "madder" because he did not know whom to fight. "Who did that?" he demanded of the medium. The medium said the gay spirit was that of St. Peter. But even this explanation did not satisfy Mr. Cross. "Well, all I ask of St. Peter," he said, "is to materialize for just one minute and if I don't make a vacancy for a new gatekeeper I won't ask to get in."—Indianapolis News. COLD COMFORT.

Lee Harrison says he was standing at Forty-third street and Broadway when a young man wearing one of those Poughkeepsie looks approached him and said: "Excuse me, but I want to find my cousin, who lives in New York." "Very well," replied Lee. "It will be all right this time. What's your cousin's name?" "Cohen." "Say," said Lee, grabbing him by the arm, "come out here in the middle of the street and yell 'Cohen.' You'll probably be able to find him in the crowd that answers." Dental Operation on Pony. A remarkable operation has been performed by a Wanstead (Eng.) veterinary surgeon on a pony which had a bad fracture of the lower jaw. After injecting cocaine and wiring the teeth together, the surgeon drilled a hole through the jawbone, and the broken parts were then firmly drawn together by strong silver wire. The pony is expected to make a complete recovery. One Was Lacking. Head Clerk (to applicant for government post)—Are these your indentification papers? Applicant—Yes, str.
