JAPANESE BRIDE
Is Not a Welcome Addition to the
 Morgan Family.

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 New York-That his marriage to a Japanese woman has not pleased his stepmother, and has caused strained relations in the Morgan family, was frankly admitted this afternoon by George Dalton Morgan.
 My stepmother, who was the widow of Benjamin Miffin of Pittsfeld, Mass, when she married my father, George Hale Morgan, Is evidently not pleased with my Japanese bride" said Mir Nor gan. There has been little friction in the household on that account, but think much of 1t is due to the fact that my wife does not speak English, and my relatives cannot, therefore, un- derstand or appreciate, her.
 The matter does not signify We are very happy, and l am kept busy showing my wife about the city and reading the war news to her. Natur- ally she is greatly interested in the Russo-Japanese conflict"

Ragtime Barred In St. Louis.

From Golfers Weekly
 After extended deliberation and numerous conferences, the officials of the St. Louis exposition have decided against the rag time song, or even the ragtime music without words to accompany it. The mu- sical director of the exposition and the chairman of the musical programme have issued an edct that all songs. either in the state pavilions, festival hall, or along the pike. shall be strictly classical and modern If possible, but all element of the ragtime music hall style of singing shall be eliminated.
 T have no personal feeling of enmity against ragtime'', says the musical direct or, but think too much of it is a bad thing. I believe the people like good mu- sic There are many beautiful and popu- lar selections from the classics. Because music can be called classic does not nec- essarily imply that it should be heavy or generally unattractive. Some of the most popular music of today is the lighter mu- sic of the classics"
 The chairman of the musical pro- gramme says that one reason the ragtime tune was eliminated from the exposition was that. like the measles, the air that Is given sentiment in these tunes seems contagious. and, the people would wish for nothing else. once the ragtimes tunes began.
 The decision of the exposition officials to exclude ragtime has created furore along the pike. where it had been arrang- ed to have some very new and up-to-date songs with a ragtime air about them The pikel concessionaires have held a meeting and have decided to take up the musical proposition with the worlds fair management

many an American merchant to study queer things about story book land in order to know just how his goods must be packed and shipped out of America, so that they will be in the proper condition for loading on camel and mule back in the desert towns. whence they start on their strange voyages.
 An American shipper of goods for export into Far Eastern countries must know just how much camel can carry and over what kind of road it will have to travel; for in many places the roads are over mountain sides that are so narrow that the size of the package IS of the utmost importance.
 Thus, shippers in the United States who do business with the Orient. have had to learn that the merchandise must be packed in tin or zinc-lined cases. because it is sure to be subjected to fierce storms in shelterless trails. They have had to learn that a camel load is two packages of 260 pounds each. Mules according to the caravan driv- CTS tables, can carry two packages, one on each side, each weighing 163 pounds
 These packages must not be longer than. feet, wider than feet, or deeper than 1 5a feet Packages of this ze can just scrape through some of the dizzy defiles leading into wild Asia
 At Ispahan about 300 mule and camel loads of merchandise are received or shipped every month during the trad. ing season.

further discussion of the matter. The United States supreme court has made it very clear that it has no jurisdiction in these suffrage cases In the south and that it does not propose to meddle with them. A great deal of money has been spent by the negroes in this liti- gation, and they have been led by law yers and politicians to contribute to funds raised to attack the suffrage sys- tems of the southern states. The great est vigilance has been shown in the search for some federal issue involved and in endeavoring to induce the SUI preme court to interfere. After a dozen trials, covering nearly fourteen years, and steady failures in all these cases, it is about time for the negroes to give up the fight, to cease wasting their money in idle litigation, conform to the constitution and laws of the state in which they live, and seek to earn the electoral franchise by qualifying for it.

.'rhe New Thought Simplified," by Henry
 Wood Lee & Shepard Boston
 Possibly no writer in the domain of new thought is as popular as Henry Wood, unless we except Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The latter has made herself universal favorite on account of her cheerful phil losophy of life, though her writings are the experiments largely of her own per sonality Mir Wood has written a num- Der of books which have been very popu- lar-'Ideal Suggestion Gods Image in Man." Studies in the Thought World" and many others. His newest work,
 New Thought smplihed,' bears the i'm print of the present year In this volume the author has endeayored especially to use terms in presenting the new thought that will enable every one to grasp much of it's inner spirit and substance. The book Is divided into a number of chapters, each of which is suggestive and full of value. In the initial chapter MT. Wood says:
 A boy who was whistling loudly as he
 walked down the street was told to stop that whistling.' He replied I ain't whis- , tin; 1t whistles itself It is much so with large part of the thinking that Is done. It thinks itself" The new thought move ment springs largely from the scripture text: "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.' and in this volume there are sev- eral chapters devoted to this subject or regulating ones thoughts that is Of Ines timable value. Of value, also, to every one, whether a believer or disciple of the new thought movement or not. MT. Wood says Habit is a natural and universal law As applied to thought If we under stand and control It's action It will per form wonders for us. Like an intelligent
 and trained assistant 1t multiplies our ability and builds our character. Thoughts of all sorts come trooping along and knock
 at the door of mind. They are ot all
 shades and qualities. There are the hign
 and low, the good and bad, the selfish and
 unselfsh, the pure and impure, the sickiy and healthful. thoughts of love and nale. of cheer and despondency. Which Will we admit? Each one that we receive makes It's distinctive mark upon us.' And again: Select thoughts of harmony. love cheer, good will, health. purity and beau ty and just in proportion as you hold them they will displace and crowd out their opposites You thus command the situation if you will. But eternal vigil lance is the price of liberty The real
 world in which one lives is his thought world, and not the mere things that are about him. Just think of creating your | own worldi"

A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOUkDED
RECORDS " %

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about year.
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed A gold mould is the only economic
cal and efficient mould known to the
art
Moulded records are superior to the
old engraved records because they
may be made of harder material.
Hard records last longer and have
better quality of tone.
A gold-moulded record made of soft
material would be no better in quality
than an engraved record in soft ma
terial.
The best moulded records are not
only Gold-moulded. They are super
hardened.
Gold-moulded records are less ex-
pensive than engraved records. The
process is simpler.
Formerly, blank cylinders were
moulded, then shaved, then engraved
from an original. The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now, a gold-lined mould is made
from the original. and the product Of
that mould is a smoothly finished cyl
inder, with the sound record already
on it. The life of the original is in
creased 10 times, hundred times, a
thousand times.
a record is not more expensive be-
cause it is gold-moulded.
1t is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records, made by a new pro-
cess. They are not only gold-moulded.
They are super-hardened.
Irrespective of price, they are SUI
perior in quality to any other gold
moulded record on the market, and
they sell for only 25 cents.
We have just received a large ship
ment of these improved records, max
ing our stock a very complete one.
