Meeting at Auxvasse.

The Ex. Board and the Minis
terial and Deacons' Union of the
Mt. Carmel District Association,
met with the Second Baptist church
of Auxvasse, Mo-, Wednesday
February IS, 1903. There were
eight or nine ministers and several
deacons present. The sessions
were enjoyed by all. Several good
and instructive sermons were
delivered which were highly
beneficial to all who heard them.
On account of the severe weather
and bad condition of the roads,
many who were desirous of attend
ing, were unable to do so. A wood
famine was feared, but fortunately
it was avoided. Everyone was
well cared for and loud in praise
and thanks to those who enter
tained them. The meeting, which
was spiritual feast, closed Friday
night, February goth. Among
those attending from a distance was
Mr.. Abraham Jackson, of Browns
Station.

The Seriousness of Life.

The very fact that human life,
even when lived on the most exalted
stage and enriched by all favoring
circumstances, is so transient and
frail and limited a thing, should
inspire one to take it more
seriously, to use it more diligently,
to extract-even to extort-from it
whatever it is capable of yielding in
the way, not of enjoyment, but of
service. We live under institutions
which incorporate tradition and
prolong the reign of the dead. But
the past is properly used only when
it is employed in the service of the
present and the future. We look
backward and learn our lesson; we
look round and apply it; we look
forward in the unconquerable
hope that fifty years hence some
one may be better or happier or
wiser because we were true to our
time and to it's demands.

Growing Old.

A little more gray in the lessening
hair,
Each day as the years go by;
A little more STOPPING in the form,
A little more dim in the eye.
A little more faltering of the step
AS we tread life's pathway DER,
And a little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone be-
fore.
A little more halting of the gait,
And a dullness of the ear;
A growing WEAKNESS of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading of hopes, and ambitions,
too,
A faltering in life's quest,
And little nearer every day
To a sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life
AS the dear ones pass awav;
A bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing day.
A little further from toll and care,
A little less way to roam;
A drawing near to a peaceful voyage
And a happy welcome home.

Health Hints.

Do not rush out into a freezing
atmosphere, either for long
walk or ride, very soon after
eating.
A pinch of borax put into the
water each time the face is washed
will correct the tendency of un-
becoming oiliness.
1t is advisable at all times to take
plenty of sleep--eight hours at least
and avoid late hours.
A specialist in nervous diseases
says that women should sleep nine
hours at night and one hour in the
daytime.
Do not cat too many kinds of
food at the same meal, especially
of vegetables. Persons with feeble
digestion should be particularly
careful in this respect.
If you have bad headache rub
slices of lemon along the temple.
The pain will not be long in
disappearing, or at least in grow
ing easier to bear.
If softness of the hands alone is
required it may be attained in
very simple manner, namely:
rubbing sweet almond oil into the
SKIN thoroughly several days in
succession.
A Roman remedy for malaria
is this: Cut lemon into a pint of
water, peel and all, boil down to
one-half. Take one teaspoonful
before meals. Better than quinine.
1t is not bad plan to wash out
the mouth each time after taking
food with little alkaline wash, as,
for instance, a few grains of
carbonate of soda in wineglassful
of water.
Full, deep breathing of pure air
is one of the best possible cures for
bilious attacks, indigestion, chronic
dyspepsia, and, in fact almost any
weakness of the bodily system.
For brittle finger-nails anoint
the nails at the root every night
with vaseline or dip them in warm
sweet-oil. This will cause them
to grow better and they will not
split.
The following lotion is excellent
for perspiring hands and greasy
skin, but use in moderation, or you
will make it look too dry: -Four
ounces rose-water, half ounce
glycerine, ten drops carbolic acid,
the juice of one lemon.

WORLDS SMALLEST RAIL.
ROADS.

Some controversity has arisen in
regard to the location of Missouri's
first railway. In respect to the
worlds smallest railway the Lon
don (England) Mail says it is
situated in the gardens attached to
the residence of Sir John Holder,
proprietor of the Midland brewery
in Birmingham. The Zine" is
complete in every detail; the
locomotives and the rolling stock
are a solutely up-to-date, as are the
signals, rails, sleepers, cuttings,
tunnels, telegraph posts, bridges
and functions. 1t is of remarkably
narrow gauge, being only IoH
inches, the main line is 900 yards
in length. The whole system
extends exactly quarter of mile.
Some of the locomotives are of the
Great Western railway broad gauge
pattern, while one is an American
coupled express of ~ inch scale,
and yet another is Great Northern
railway single express of inch
scale. The rolling stock numbers
about twenty carriages and trucks,
and there is also covered-in car
riage which holds two people. The
latter, however, is not often used,
as it develops an unfortunate
propensity to fall over if the wind
happens to be at all violent.

Speech by Booker Washington.

New York, Feb. 22nd, 1903. -
Booker Washington was the
orator at a memorial meeting held
tonight in the academy of arts and
sciences. The speaker devoted his
address to the consideration of the
race problem, and said in part:
unlike the Indian, the original
Mexican or the Hawaiian, the
negro, so far from dying out when
in contact with stronger and
different race, has continued to in
crease in numbers to such an extent
that whereas, the race entered bond
age few ia number, there are now
more than 100000. So | want to
emphasize the truth that whether
we are of Northern or Southern
birth, whether we are black or
white, we must face frankly the
hard, stubborn fact that in bondage
and in freedom the negro, in spite
of all predictions to the contrary,
has continued year by year to in
crease in numbers, until he now
forms about one-seventh of the
entire population, and there is no
sign that the same ratio of increase
will not hold good i'll the future.
Further than this, despite all the
changing, uncertain conditions
through which the race has passed
and is passing, you will find that
every year since the black man
came into this country, whether in
bondage or in freedom, he has made
a steady gain in acquiring prop
erty, skill, habits of industry, edu-
cation and Christian character.
"To deal practically and directly
with the affairs of my own race, |
believe that both the teachings of
history as well as the results of
everyday observation should con-
vince us that we shall make our
most enduring progress by laying
the foundations carefully, patiently,
in the ownership of the soil, the
exercise of habits of economy, the
saving of money, the securing of
the most complete education of
hand and head and the cultivation
of Christian virtues.
Il can not believe, | will not
believe, that country that invites
into its midst every type of
European from the highest to the
very dregs of the earth and gives
these corners shelter, protection and
the highest encouragement, will
refuse to accord the same protection
and encouragement to her black
citizens. The negro seeks no
special privilege. All that he asks
is opportunity-that the same law
which is made by the white man
and applied to the one race be
applied with equal certainty and
exactness to the other.
"The age for settling great
questions, either social or national,
with the shotgun, the torch and by
lynchings has passed. An appeal
to such methods is unworthy of
either race. | believe the time has
come, and l believe it is a perfectly
practical thing when group of
representative Southern men and
Northern white men and negroes
should meet and consider with the
greatest calmness and business
sagacity the whole subject as
viewed from every standpoint

Lincoln Institute.

The great event of the week
ending February FL was the concert
given by the students of Lincoln
Institute in the Hall of the House
of Representatives on February
goth.
The time of the concert was
auspicious for at least two i'm
portant reasons-the appropriation
bill for the maintenance of the
institution for the ensuing two
years, although recommended by
the committee, has not yet been
passed upon; and the Separate
Coach bill has not been brought up
for final vote.
The literary and musical program
rendered on this occasion, was in
every sense first class and up-to- date.
The former consisted of nine
orations on live subjects, seven
from the Senior Class, trained by
Professor ]. Silone- ates of the
department of English two from
the Junior class, trained by Pro-
fessor J. S. Moten of the depart :
ment of Mathematics.
The speakers, one and all, gave
evidence of careful personal study ,
and we'll directed training; and
were complimented again and again
for skillful manner in which they
handled their subjects. for their
accurate pronunciation, and careful
attention to the details of oratory.
Notwithstanding the length of
the program, each speaker COM
manded and received the most
perfect attention and deafening
applause. 800
The excellent musical program
was under the direction of Miss
Carrie Carney, of the department
of Music, miss Florence Pigeon
assistant in musical department
and Miss Mary E. Grimshaw OF
the department of Domestic Science,
pianists) was received with un-
bounded enthusiasm and included
every line of first class music from
the jubilee song to classic opera.
President Allen presided with
his usual manly and dignifed bear
ing, and received many hearty con-
gratulations upon the eminent
success attending his administra-
ton, as evidenced by the unusually
large enrolment, the excellent grade
of students, and the success of the
concert.
This entertainment was pro-
nounced by those senators,
representatives, and newspaper
reporters, who have attended
concerts given by the Institute be-
fore on several former sessions of
the Legislature, as, "The best one
yet.
The large and brilliant audience
was made up of senators, represen-
tatives, state officials, their families,
and the leading citizens of Jefferson
City.
Prominent among members of
the official corps was the State
Superintendent of Public In
struction, w. T. Darlington who,
as ex-officio Regent Lincoln In
stitute, is deeply interested in its
success, especially perhaps in the
Agricultural department.
Said several prominent members
of the Legislature to President Allen
after listening to the concert "You
shall have all the appropriation you
have asked for.'
Said others This concert is the
best argument we have heard yet
for the negative side of the
Separate Coach Bill"
