JOHNSON OF CALIFORNIA SENATOR BOEHN PENROSE PARTISANS of the several candidates for the presidential nomination at the Chicago convention, especially those who advocate the selection of Taft or of Roosevelt, have "blood in their eyes."

WAR IS DEPOPULATING CUBA PEACEFUL CITIZENS LEAVING AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Details of Outrages Are Unprintable —Race Hatred Has Country Back Five Years. Santiago, Cuba—Conditions throughout eastern Cuba indicate that the Washington authorities have no conception of the real situation aside from the bankrupt state of the government. The rural districts are being depopulated of peaceful citizens as rapidly as the limited transportation facilities permit. Devastation is the chief occupation of both rebels and guerillas. The country has been set back five years and bitter race hatred aroused. The details of the warfare in many, instances are unprintable. Instead of civilized warfare, it is anhilation and a majority of those being killed are not insurrects, but unarmed blacks who took refuge in the brush. Gen. Monteagudo has directed that no prisoners be taken. When an officer makes the mistake of bringing in captives they are liberated and told to go home, but they never reach there. Seven were shot at San Luis the minute their backs were turned. Another condition which invites corruption is the demand of the government army officers that private interests make contributions to support the volunteers. Such a demand has been made on G. Peterson, general manager of the Guantanamo Western railroad, and others. It is admitted that Gomez has no money to combat the uprising. Some days ago congress voted an appropriation of $1,000,000, but the treasury is empty. Mine Rescue Car to Kansas Pittsburg, Kan.-Pittsburg has been made the permanent headquarters of the government mine rescue car No. 4. The station at Rock Springs, Wyo., has been transferred to Pittsburg and will remain here.

Government troops stopped a train and took several sacks of gold ore. MORE LAND IS BEING FLOODED Louisiana Planters Give Up Contest and Move—Sugar Plantations Ruined. New Orleans, La.—A desperate fight is being waged in La Fourche and adjoining parishes to keep the flood waters of Hymelia crevasse from inundating several valuable sugar plantations, the flooding of which will increase property loss by the thousands. Several plantation owners have given up the contest as hopeless and are moving what property they can. Live stock by the hundreds, isolated in La Fourche parish, is almost certain to die of starvation. Steamers with sand bags and supplies are en route to the La Fourche section. PACKERS WILL DODGE PENALTY National Company to Voluntarily Dis solve August 1—Wickersham Holds Up Suit. Washington, D. C.-Attorney General Wickersham was advised that the National Packing company would be voluntarily dissolved by the beef packers on August 1. In view of this action Mr. Wickersham announced that the government would hold in abeyance the civil suit which it proposed to bring against the company to compel its disintegration. New Masonic Home. Atchison, Kansas.—Plans were just completed for a new $35,000 Masonic home in Atchison. There are two lodges here and the building will be erected under a joint ownership plan.

Salina, Kansas—Philip George, near New Cambria, in the east part of this county has just begun cutting wheat, the first to begin harvest in this county. Several of his neighbors are starting. Up to 110 at Chickasha Chickkasha, Oklahoma.-The thermometer registered 110 in this city and a dry, hot wind blew from the southwest. Three days of this temperature will ruin the corn crop in this section. CEMENT COMBINE A FAILURE PLANS FOR GREAT MERGER ARE ABANDONED. Big Concerns Objected to Manner of Stock Distribution and Withdrew From Agreement. Independence, Kansas. — The endeavor to effect a merger of 13 Portland cement plants in the Southwest has failed. For three months past the directors of the 13 companies, nine plants in Kansas, one in Missouri, one in Texas and two in Oklahoma, have been endeavoring to effect a consolidation to save what is known as "cross freights" on cement and also in administrative expenses. The stockholders of the various companies met and authorized the merger and the plan had gone so far that details of the organization of the parent company had been perfected. The hitch came in the division of stock in the merger company in accordance with the appraisement of the various plants. Some of the companies were dissatisfied with the appraisement and held out on the final negotiations and refused to change their decision. This action caused those promoting the Central Portland Cement company, which was to be the name of the big concern, to abandon further efforts in that line. A. C. Stich, treasurer of the Western States Portland Cement company, said the various companies will now have to exist as before the merger was proposed. The Western States plant here is running on about half time. The Le Hunt plant of the United Kansas Portland Cement company, five miles from this city has discharged about 300 men and but few are left in the shipping department. Paul Swingle Must Stand Trial Pratt, Kan.—Paul Swingle, charged with shooting Thad C. Carver, a wealthy banker of this city, on May 15, was bound over to the district court and is in jail in default of $5,000 bond. Safe Blowers Got $12,000: Rogers, Arkansas. -Four robbers blew open the safe of the First National bank at Huntsville and escaped with $12,000. The robbers used dynamite on the safe and escaped before the town was entirely aroused. The KITCHEN CABINET HERE is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile; It always has the same good look—it's never out of style— It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue. The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you. It pays a higher interest, for it is merely lent— It's worth a million dollars, and it doesn't cost a cent. LAUNDRY HINTS Soaking clothes over night dissolves some dirt and softens it all so that the clothing washes much easier because of the soaking. Place the white, unstained clothes in a tub of lukewarm soapy water, allowing them to soak an hour helps much in the washing. When washing woolens there are several things to remember. Never to put them into very hot or very cold water; it shrinks them. Never rub soap on them, as it knots the fiber and hardens them. Put them into soapy water. Never wring or twist them with the hands. Squeeze the water out gently with a wringer. Hang to dry in a free circulation of air out of the hot sun. Press them with a moderately warm iron on the wrong side, with a piece of paper or muslin between the woolen and the iron. Scorched linen may be whitened by wetting the juice and letting it lie exposed to the sun. Rust stains may be removed by lemon juice and salt left exposed to the sun's rays. Sometimes obstinate spots of long standing may have to be treated several times, but patience will remove them. Washing Fluid—Take two ounces of salts of tartar and powdered borax, a gallon of boiling water and a half pint of ammonia, after the fluid is cold, a can of potash. To use—Soak the clothes in cold water, then put into a boiler a half cup of the liquid with sufficient soap dissolved in it and boil the clothes a half hour, take out and rinse and blue. The clothes will seldom need any rubbing, except the very soiled spots. HERE ain't no use in growl- in' I nope is nearly gone. Ah, I should put your teeth, "A' keep on keepin' on. HOUSEKEEPING AIDS. During the last of the apple season, when the fruit becomes wilted, try treating them as we do potatoes which have lost their moisture. Let them stand for several hours in cold water. It will freshen them up wonderfully. A convenient fire starter is a tin can of ashes saturated with kerosene it is much safer than using the oil. A teaspoonful put into the stove with a few kindlings does the work. A mixture of ink and olive oil put on to rusty black kid gloves gives them a new look and they wear longer. When sewing on buttons on children's clothes, if the thread is waxed well it will last much longer as it cannot become water-soaked. Fruit cocktails make a delicious first course for a luncheon or a wedding breakfast. The combination of fruit may please the palate of the designer, the juice and sugar is all that is needed for a dressing. A dainty and appetizing salad is prepared from tiny young beets, cooked until tender and served on lettuce with a French dressing. Another pretty salad is simply a thick slice of rosy tomato decorated with a rose of mayonnaise piped on it, and then sprinkled with chopped parsley. Creamed Mushrooms.—No dish is more delicious than one of fresh mushrooms. Clean and prepare them, remove the peeling from the caps, cut in small pieces and cook in butter for five minutes, then add a cup of cream, salt and pepper, if liked, and serve piping hot on freshly toasted triangles of bread. Croustades made of squares of bread hollowed out and toasted may be used to hold the creamed mushrooms. "Now is the time of opportunities for able young men, why doesn't William come forward?" "Guess it's because he's too backward." Guest—Bring me a bottle of your best wine. Waiter—This place is "dry," sir. Guest—Is it? Then bring me some of your extra dry. Teacher—Bobby, what do you understand by the term "circulating medium?" Bobby—it's one that goes from house to house, doin' spirit rappin' stunts, ma'm. THE PEEVISH CHILD NEEDS TREATMENT When a child sulks drowsily, or is fretful, it is usually due to some slight disorder of the digestive organs, and a mild laxative is very often all that is necessary to restore cheerfulness and buoyancy of spirits. In cases where the use of a gentle, effective laxative stimulant is indicated, many of the best physicians are now prescribing Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This preparation is admittedly the perfect laxation, being mild, yet positive in its action on the bowels, and far preferable to violent cathartics and purgative waters. It is very pleasant to the taste and is an ideal remedy to regulate and strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy, natural action makes it especially desirable in the case of children, a dose at bed-time being sure to have the desired result next morning, with no attendant unpleasantness or discomfort. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere in 50c and $1.00 bottles. If you have never tried this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Monticello, ill., for a sample. He will be very glad to send a trial bottle without any expense to you whatever. No Frosts There. Foote Lighte—It is said that the southern tip of Florida is the only portion of the United States which never has experienced frost. Miss Sue Brette—Too bad it is so far away from our traveling theatrical companies. And Very Quickly. "The building of airships is bound always to be a success in one way." "What's that?" "It makes the money fly." If testimonials received from those using Garfield Tea are of any value, Garfield Tea does what we claim for it. Enough said. Trouble never attempts to dodge those who are looking for it. RECORD OF A GREAT MEDICINE Doctors Could Not Help Mrs. Templeton—Regained Health through Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. Hooper, Nebraska. — "I am very glad to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped me. For five years it is annapsy troubles so that Mme M. M. I. SONHICENTS but was not helped. I had such awful bearing down pains and my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep and my friends thought I could not live long. At my request my husband got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I commenced to take it. By the time I had taken the seventh bottle my health had returned and I began doing my washing and was a well woman. At one time for three weeks I did all the work for eighteen boarders with no signs of my old trouble returning. Many have taken your medicine after seeing what it did for me. I would not take $1000 and be where I was. You have my permission to use my name if it will aid anyone."—Mrs. SUSIE TEMPLETON, Hooper, Nebraska. The Pinkham record is a proud and peerless one. It is a record of constant victory over the obstinate ills of woman—ills NORA HENRY that deal out despair. It is an established fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored health to thousands of such suffering women. Why don't you try it if you needsuch a medicine? CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS never fail.

COLONEL SAYS HE IS WILLING TO HEAD INDEPENDENT TICKET "I Decline Longer to Be Bound by This Convention-I Hope Honestly Elected Delegates Will Decline Further Connection With Fraudulent Convention." "The national convention now is constituted by delegates seated fraudulently. I decline any longer to be bound by any action it may take. I decline to regard as binding any nomination it may make. I do not regard successful fraud and deliberate political theft as constituting a title to party regularity, or a claim to the support of any honest man of any party. "I hope the honestly elected majority will at once insist upon the immediate purging of the roll in its entirety and not piecemeal by the convention. If this is not accomplished, I hope the honestly elected delegates will decline all further connection with the convention. "If the honestly elected delegates choose to proceed with business, and to nominate me for the presidency as a progressive on a progressive platform, I shall accept. If some fear to take such a stand, and the others nominate me, I shall accept. In the other case I shall fight the campaign through, win or lose, even if I don't get a single electoral vote." Chicago, June 20—Theodore Roosevelt, before his political advisers and a personally selected number of delegates instructed for him, late this afternoon read a statement of his position in the Republican nomination fight and left it to them to decide what position they would take in the struggle. M. Roosevelt called before him two delegates from each of the states which has supported him and the leaders in his campaign. After outlining his position declaring that he would continue his fight on principles, he had outlined from the beginning, the colonel left the room and the delegates and leaders sat down to deliberate what should be done. A protracted session was expected. Colonel Roosevelt returned to the conference at 3:30 p. m., walking arm and arm with Governor Hadley of Missouri to the meeting room. Conflicting reports came from the Roosevelt headquarters today that Colonel Roosevelt had released his delegates from all obligations to vote for him. At 11:50 a.m. the colonel issued a statement which was variously interpreted. It said: "The time has come when I feel that I must make certain statements not only to the honestly elected members of the Republican national convention, but to the rank and file of the Republican party and the honest people of the entire nation. "I went into this fight for certain great principles. At the moment I can only serve these principles by continuing to bear the personal responsibility which their advocacy the Former Governor Regis H. Post of Porto Rico, earlier had announced that Colonel Roosevelt had released his delegates, but would remain in the race, and this statement was accepted by several Roosevelt leaders. The colonel's own statement was so interpreted. O. K. Davis of the Roosevelt headquarters, however, said he was authorized by the colonel to say the statement as to the release of delegates was absolutely false. A further conference of the Roosevelt forces was scheduled for 2 p. m. Few Changes in Rules Made. Chicago, June 20.—Perpetuation of the "steam roller" so far as the national committee of the Republican party is concerned, and recognition of the direct primary plan of electing members of the committee, were the two radical and apparently contradictory changes made today in the rules governing the national committee by the rules committee of the convention. The Roosevelt members of the committee did not oppose either. They will, however, introduce a minority report to the convention, insisting on a reduction of Southern representation in the convention and upon the right of the various states to dictate the method and manner under which representatives on the national committee shall be lected. In other respects the rules that governed the Republican convention of four years ago were adopted, 22 to 6. Police Watch for Thieves. Chicago.—A special police cordon has been drawn around political headquarters to keep known pickpockets and petty thieves out of the neighborhood. Twenty-five detectives in charge of James Markham, secretary to the chief, have been placed several blocks away from the Michigan avenue hotels housing the delegates, with instructors to watch all the crowds making their way toward the Blackstone. Congress, Auditorium and other gathering places. Crowd Meets Colonel at Chicago. Chicago, June. 17—Colonel Roosevelt arrived at the La Salle street station at 5:37 p. m. Saturday. He was greeted with cheers by the many who crowded the station, and was whisked into a waiting automobile and hurried to the Roosevelt headquarters. The crowd cheered wildly as Colonel Roosevelt stepped from the train and was greeted by the Roosevelt leaders. Bands crashed into popular airs and the crowd surged forward as the automobile left the station gate. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Chicago, June 20.—In a session marked by harmony between the Taft men and the Roosevelt "bolters" of last night's session, the credentials committee labored throughout the day and night to dispose of the contests before it. After ten hours of work, but three contests, the Ninth Alabama, the Arizona state case and the Arkansas cases had been disposed of. The committee determined to sit throughout the night in an effort to finish by the time the convention resumes its session tomorrow at 11 a. m. After settling the Arizona case in an effort to hasten the committee work Jesse A. Tolerton of Missouri and Hugh T. Halbert of Minnesota offered a plan of the Roosevelt forces to abandon temporarily all other contests except those of California, Texas and Washington. The Taft forces defeated this motion and insisted that the committee take up all contests in order. It was expected the Roosevelt forces would make no hard fight on any but the three states named. The two Taft delegates from the Fifth Arkansas district were seated by the creditials committee. A motion to seat the Roosevelt delegates was defated, 21 to 11. mar." Genera. Powell Clayton appeared with the Taft contstants. James A. Comer represented the Roosevelt contestants and Wallace Townsend the Taft dlegates. MAY FORM NEW PARTY. Will Await Report of Credentials Committee First. Chicago, June 20.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt tonight indicated that under certain conditions he might withdraw from the Republican party to take the lead in the formation of a new party. "If the people want a progressive party, 'I'll be in it,' he said. Some of the colonel's supporters urged their associates tonight to precipitate the crisis in the Republican national convention at the earliest opportunity tomorrow. More conservative councils finally prevailed and it was decided there should be no "bolt" from the regular convention. It was the plan of the Roosevelt delegates tonight to make their last stand on the report of the credentials committee. If the 8 delegates, claimed by them to be fraudulent, are seated, the Roosevelt forces will remain in the convention until the end, but will not vote. It is their plan then to proceed to the nomination of the Colonel in the coliseum and claim regularity for him. Colonel Roosevelt has not committed himself definitely to the latter part of this plan. He is considering the advisability of delaying action for several weeks and then to summon an entirely new convention. This would not be had until after the Democrats have acted in Baltimore. The national convention itself marked time today, awaiting for the committee on credentials to conclude its consideration of the contested delegates. The committee planned to work throughout tonight so as to report to the convention when it meets at 11 a. m. tomorrow. It was predocted tonight that the nominating stage of the convention might not be reached until late Saturday. A wide latitude of debate is to be allowed in the convention tomorrow. Colonel Roosevelt said emphatically tonight that he would make the independent fight for the presidency if he was convinced there was a popular demand for him. "I shall have to see if there is a popular demand for me to run," he said. In Session Five Minutes.

FRANCIS McGOVERN Govrnor of Wisconsin, Who Was De feated for Temporary Chair man. MUSEUM Convention Hall, Chicago, Where the Great Struggle Is Being Held "The chief function of the next administration in my judgment is distinct from and a progressive development from that which has been performed by President Roosevelt. "The chief function of the next administration is to complete and perfect teh machinery by which these standards may be maintained, by which the lawbreakers may be promptly restrained and punished, but which shall operate with sufficient accuracy and dispatch to interfere with legitimate business as little as possible. "The Republican party stands now as McKinley stood—for a protective tariff—while the Dem- ocratic party stands against the principle of protection and for a tariff for revenue only. We stand not for the abuses of the tariff, but for its beneficent uses." TUTE DELEGATES. No. Votes and State. Yeas.

Hadley of Missouri. All of the Roosevelt delegates joined in this demonstration while some of the Taft states lent a voice. The ovation to the Missouri executive was quickly interpreted by many of the delegates as the possible forerunner of a boom for Hadley for president. One enthusiastic Pennsylvanian jumped to the stage and called: "Three cheers for Hadley, the next president of the United States." J. B. SENATOR ELIHU ROOT Of New York, Who Was Elected Temporary Chairman by a Vote of 558 to 502. "DON'T LIE DOWN AND GO HOME" ROOSEVELT TALKS TO HIS FORCES—SAYS HE IS DONE WITH FRAUD CONVENTION. ROOSEVELT MEMBERS WALK OUT Chicago, June 19.—"So far as I am concerned," declared Col. Roosevelt to his delegates and advisers in an address this morning, "I am through. If you are voted down I hope you, the real and lawful majority of the convention, will organize as such and you will do it if you have the courage and loyalty of your convictions." "I am speaking to you," said Col. Roosevelt, "as a man to whom some of you have done the honor to state that you wish to nominate me as president. When I went into the race I made my appeal to the people. Most of the delegates were chosen at direct primaries by the people. I made my fight squarely. I said, and some of you heard me, that if the people decided against me, I would have nothing to say, but that if the people were for me and the politicians tried to cheat me out of the nomination I would have a great deal to say. "I went before the people and I won. Now the committee and a portion of the convention, which is made a majority only by the aid of delegates not elected, but chosen by the national committee, are trying to cheat me out of the nomination. They can't do it. As far as I am concerned it makes no difference. But it is not me they are cheating, it is the people, the rank and file of the Republican party. "I did not want to give you any advice, as I preferred to let you decide what to do, but I am going to give you my advice. "Governor Deneen today introduced a very moderate resolution in dealing with the four flagrant steals. It asked that the delegates from California, Washington, Texas and Arizona should not be permitted to vote and that the three states stolen bodily-Washington, Arizona and Texas—should not put their representatives on the credentials committee. That motion was voted down by substantially the same vote that elected Root over McGovern. In each case the majority was a majority, only because the votes of the fraudulently seated delegates were counted. "Mr. Root received 70 or 80 stolen votes," continued Mr. Roosevelt. "Mr. Deneen's first resolution was beaten today by fraudulent votes which in that resolution were named by the votes of Texas, Arizona, Washington and the two fraudulent votes from California. If those votes had been changed the resolution would have been carried. "To add insult to injury, the committee on credentials organized by choosing as chairman Mr. Devine, the national committeeman, who had taken part in the very theft on which he had passed as a member of the national committee. ROOT'S PARTY ISSUE. "The Republican party proposes to remedy this defective method through having the facts ascertained by an impartial commission through scientific investigation so that the president and congress shall have the basis for the just application of the principles of protection. "The Democratic party does not want the facts upon which a just protective measure can be framed because they mean that there shall be no protection for American industries. "The American people now have to pass not upon the abuses of the tariff, but on the fundamental question between the two systems of tariff amking." "As far as I am concerned, I am through. I hope that tomorrow, when you go back to to the convention hall, you will at once introduce a resolution that not one of those fraudulently seated delegates shall vote on any discussion in the credentials committee or in the convention. "Don't lie down again if they beat you by fraudulent votes. There is no use in voting to cut out the fraudulent votes and then being beaten by the fraudulent votes and say you are very sorry, and go home. I hope you will then take the position that you decline longer to submit to having any delegates fraudulently seated allowed to sit as judges on their own cases or vote on the report of the credentials committee. "I hope you will refuse any longer to recognize a majority thus composed as having any title in law or morals to be called a Republican convention. We have by fair means elected a clear majority of the delegates and I hope that you will not permit our opponents, having failed by fair means, to best you by foul means and swindle the people out of the victory that they have won. "If you are voted down I hope you, the real and lawful majority of the convention, will organize as such and you will do it if you have the courage and loyalty to your convictions. Let's find out whether the Republican party is still the party of the plain people, the people of the United States, or the arty of the bosses and professional politicians, acting in the interests of special privilege. "If you want my advice, I would advise that you place no further trust, I would advise that you waste no further time, I would advise that you do not permit yourself to be committed in any further way, shape or form by further association with these men as long as they remain in the control of the convention by means of a majority composed in an essential part of fraudulently seated delegates who have not the slightest right or title to represent the rank and file of the Republican party and are without the slightest right or title to seats in the Republican convention." Governor Johnson reached the Florentine room a few minutes after Mr. Roosevelt had concluded his address. Many were leaving the room when Governor Johnson entered. A score of men seized him and rushed him to a table. Immediately the room filled up again with delegates. "Gentlemen." Governor Johnson began, "you have heard what we are going to do tomorrow. We are going to stop dilly-dallying with this robbing convention. We are going in there to fight and we are prepared for the birth of a new Republican party which will noinmate for president Theodore Roosevelt." "And he will be elected," was shouted in chorus from the delegates. As Governor Johnson proceeded, some one in the crowd shouted the name of "Hadley." "Hadley! Hadley!" was the cry. A mingled roar of cheers and hisses greeted this, but quiet was soon restored and Governor Johnson proceeded. "This new party which is inevitable, will be an honest party," he continued. "A party that will not countenance robbery, thievery and dishonesty, such as we have experienced here." THE SEARCHLIGHT Founded in 1898 by W. N. Miller. WICHITA.

"I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to sit. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral." "I particularly desire not to be laid out in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to use chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world." -Home Notes. Lining Up For T. R. In view of the fact that the law was passed as the result of the insistence of the Roosevelt forces it is easy to realize that the movement for the colonel has tremendous strength. There is every reason to believe that Massachusetts will give him the same rousing majority that Illinois gave him a few days ago. In spite of the machines in operation in Rhode Island and Connecticut and the fact that no fight whatever has been made in either of these states for the colonel's candidacy there is a great deal of Roosevelt sentiment.

Learning to Sing "Do you know," mused the girl at the piano, "that singing isn't an art, nor a talent? It's just a record of so many dollars and cents. And the more dollars and cents you've spent on your voice the better your voice is." "That doesn't mean, either," she went on, "that it's all a matter of training. If I should take a hundred lessons at $1 a lesson I'd be considered just about one-third as advanced and proficient in vocalizing as I should be if I'd take a hundred lessons at $3 a lesson." "Why this pessimistic mood?" inquired the man who was sitting near. "I'm not pessimistic," replied the girl, calmly. "I've just discovered another truth. You try it and you'll see. With the piano or the violin it's different. While I grant that with them dollars and cents count a lot, still, if you can play the keys and the notes the same, people will listen to you, and, perhaps, enjoy the playing—but with vocal music everything depends on the money cost. There seems to be a quality in the tone, or something that tells people just who your teacher is and what you pay for your lessons—and you get complimented accordingly." Getting Ahead of One's Self. "If I have anything to do that I particularly dislike, I start to work on it the first thing after breakfast, subordinating all routine work to that task," said a successful housekeeper recently. "One can expend enough nervous energy thinking about and worrying over an unpleasant duty to accomplish it. When it is finished and off one's mind early in the day, one gets ahead of one's self, so to speak." THE VICTORIA A First Class Hotel For COLORED TRANCIENT. Every Convenience.

Director of Events and the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) THE PENITENT WOMAN. LESSON TEXT—Luke 7:36-50. LESSON TEXT-Luke 738-50. GOLDEN TEXT-*The Father* is the saying *Golden Word* of the apocalypse, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.*1- Tim. 1:15. Jesus had accepted an invitation to visit the home of the aristocrat Simon, but instead of being treated with courtesy he is humillated by studied neglect and insult. There was one, however, who fully appreciated his real worth, a woman of the street who had doubtless seen him enter or else observed him at meat through the open doorway. Knowing him is one thing, but to love him is quite another. Do not confound this woman with Mary Magdalene, there is no connection at all. Jesus always drew to himself the sinful ones; it was for that purpose he came into the world, to bear our sins (Matt. 1:21; Isa 53:6). This woman was, however, a sinner who no longer ran after her sin, but one who was repentant. This is shown by (1) her sorrow (weeping); (2) her humble service (wiping his feet), and (3) her gift of love (the alabaster box), this latter having undoubtedly been an accessory of her undefeatedly been an accessory of her life of sin, but now devoted to a more noble use. As the odor filled the house the self-satisfied Pharisee spake "within himself," but he who discerneth the thoughts and intents of the heart knew not only how great a sinner she had been, but knew also the cloak of self-righteousness worn by Simon. Her purity and holiness had been shattered like the alabaster box and Jesus proceeds to shatter Simon's shell of self complacency by putting forth one of his matchless parables. Jesus Speaks to Simon. A certain creditor, undoubtedly meaning himself, had two debtors, by inference this woman and this Pharisee. Both allike were bankrupt, one owed about $5.50 and the other ten times as much, about $85. Both allike, however, received forgiveness. "Tell me," says the Master, "which debtor will love most?" The Pharisee's reply was the logical one; they both depend upon the mercy of the creditor, hence the gratitude will be in ratio to the amount forgiven. Much had been required, hence much forgiven. Inevitable. Pharisee's answer to a practical application. Taking the words out of Simon's mouth he makes one of the most complete and practical applications of applied Christianity in the gospel record. To paraphrase Jesus says: "Simon, I came into your house and the most common courtesy of washing a guest's feet you neglected, yet this woman has washed my feet with her tears, an evidence of her repentance, while you sit there with dryeyed cynicism. She has wiped my feet with the hairs of her head, her glory and crown has been laid at my feet while you have not so much as offered me a towel to wipe the dust off my feet as I left my sandals at your door. Simon you gave me no kiss, that common mark of a courteous welcome, yet this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet since the time I came into your house. The annotating oil, common olive oil, you neglected to use, yet the precious oil of her treasure she has thankfully poured upon my feet. Simon, your life is a life of works so are these acts of this woman, but your life is one of zeal while her acts have been prompted by love." In another place Jesus tells us that if we love him we will do the things he commands us and that he and the Father will come and abide with us. Hers was the heroic love of one who having lost her shame dared to thrust herself into an unbidden house of refreshment and perform those neglected mental duties, the result of which was that reward for her faith that meant forgiveness of her sins. By her attention to these duties she was unconsciously rebuking the vanity of Simon's self merit while at the same time she was showing to the world a fine example of the gratitude of a saved one. Paul later expressed it most forcefully in the fourth chapter of his letter to the Romans. The Great Creditor: This woman knew she had no merit of her own and hence she threw herself at the feet of Jesus, claimed his righteousness and compassion and at the same time by her acts she showed the attitude of her heart and of course she had the desire of her heart. It has always been so for has not the Master said. "Happy are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be fed?" After this "practical sermon of applied Christianity" to Simon, Jesus turns to the woman, nameless so far as the Scripture record is concerned, and with infinite and a heavenly thrill in his voice he said: "Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace." "Who is the creator," they asked. Jesus teaches us that though there be degrees of guilt, all alike must come to God for forgiveness. Also that he, the Great Creator, is the one to whom we owe our debt of sins and who alone can without merit discharge that debt and send us forth in peace. Death Lurks In A Weak Heart THEIR MOST JOYOUS MOMENT Of the Trio, Probably Representative Redfield Had the Best Occasion to Smile. The talk in one of the cloak rooms of congress turned to the thought of the happiest moments in one's life. Senator Bailey said his came the day he wore his first pair of trousers. And Paul Howland of Ohio declared his big moment of joy was when he was permitted once to drive a chariot in a pony and dog show parade. Representative Redfield, who is a wise chap, even if he does hail from Brooklyn, said it was when he was going to school and trying to master long division. Three or four aides over from where he sat a boy yawned. It was not an ordinary yawn, but one of such genuine expression of feeling toward things in general that it attracted Redfield's attention. He was fortunate in having a paper wad right at hand, ready for any emergency, and he aimed this at the boy's cavernous mouth. The wad went right square into the goal and—well, Fourth of July fireworks are tame to the stunts that boy did in the next few minutes. He says he almost smiled once on shipboard when the vessel gave a lurch and threw a platter full of beefstead, gracy and all, over the open-faced shirt front of a pompous passenger across the table. ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY "Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tled little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Remedies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston. The Last Word In Defense. The angry mother returns home from a shopping tour down town to find that Tommy has broken into the jam closet, teased his little sister till she cried, smashed a window pane with his top, tied a tin can on the tall of the dog next door, and then wound up further depredations by tracking the parlor carpet with his muddy boots. "You young villain, I'm going to whip you till you can't sit down." (Grabs hold of him.) "Now what have you got to say for yourself?" Tommy: "Aw, say, ma, this looks like a frame-up." Going Further Back A man who had suddenly become very rich went to live in New York and began to spend money with a lavish hand. He decided that his name needed advertising, so he visited a genealogist. "I suppose," he said, "If I pay you enough you can trace my family back to Adam." "My dear sir," replied the genealogist, "if you're willing to put up the money we can prove by evolution that your family existed before Adam."—Lippincott's Magazine. Henpecked Lion.

A fancy-dress ball was held in a certain garrison town recently, at which many military officers and men attended. A soldier attired as a lady was spoken to by the regimental chapain. "Well, young man," said the parson, "you are very well got up. Did you win a prize?" "Yes, chum; I got second prize. Did you get a prize?" "Me? Oh, no; I——" "Well, now, that's rotten, bad luck. I call it," said the Tommy, warmly, "for you are about the best get-up of a parson I've seen lately."—London Tit-Bits. HARD FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. It's hard enough to keep house if in perfect health, but a woman weak, tired and suffering with an aching back has a heavy burden. Any woman in this condition has cause to suspect kidney trouble, especially if the kidney action seems disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills have cured thousands. It is the best rec- W commended special kidney remedy. Mrs. John Robinson, 908 Burney St., Modesto, Cal., Says: "My back was so lame and sore I was practically hepless.
