THE MECCA CAFE.

On last Monday evening, November
18th, Rev. Douglass delivered one OF
the grendest speeches of his history, OF
the new annex department of the
Mecca Cafe His subject was OF the
race pride, and how we should live and
respect one another along all business
lines. He said in his speech when a
cclored man commits very bad crime
of any kind and it is placed before the
eyes of the white race, then the aver
age of the whites puts us all on the
same basis that this one bad fellow is
put on. So it is looked at in the same
light when one of our race is trying to
build himself up in this world and is
making a good headway in all business
lires; then the whites look at him and
the entire race differently and with
more respect that this race must be
more respected than we thought for;
and he said it has been among our peo-
pie one of the greatest setbacks in all
business lines; that is, when one is try
ing to build himself up in the world
you will find a thousand trying
to pull them down. The most trouble
among some of our people, when 1t
comes to talking evil Of another, they
are at home along those lines, but
when it comes to other business of i'm
portance they are just gone, has not
anything to say or do. Now the people
in all business lines to-day who are
making any success at all are people
that are binding themselves together
and are trying to help one another. You
will only find that class of people who
really can demand anything. There is
nothing in knocking, but try and help
those that are doing something-that
is a benefit to your race.

CATALO GUE HOUSES PREVENT
DEVELOPMENT OF TOWNS

OF the goods, the variety presented to
quickness Of delivery and the inesti-
mable value of credit when needed,
the saving of freight, are all consid-
cred, he lays the goods in the farmers
hands at less &ost than any catalogue
house ever can do. North Dakota
alone probably purchases in supplies
each year $20,000,O00 and pays there
for later on, after the crops are har-
vested sold and the money secured.
Wipe out the country store and this
$20,000,000 would go out of the state
before a dollar came from the crops
and would require mortgage on near
ly every farm in the state to raise the
money.
The popularity of the catalogue
house is based on prestige not war
ranted by facts. A voluninous cata-
logue, profUsely illustrated, glowingly
worded and presenting bats for cash
in advance, conveys the impression OF
bedrock prices, but making no &C
count of freight, expressage, exchange,
cash discount, loss Of time, insists and
poor quality. It's a myth; but the
danger comes in the credulity OF the
people who continue to bunco them
selves, and impoverish their communl-
ty, to fatten the deluder. To send
their stocking-hoarded savings East,
and then lean on their country mer-
chants for necessities, until another
crop puts them on their feet again. |
say the advantage of the catalogue
purchase is myth, which allures the
farmer and ghosts the merchant; and
which will disappear when the mer-
chant boldly unmasks a given case OF
competition, totes UP the cost and adj
vantage on both sides and puts them
side by side.

the welfare Of the people give us big
ger villages and smaller cities, and

Bronze Timepiece Weighs so Pounds
and Has Dial of Furnished Steel.
EM-Commodore B. P. Cheney of the
Boston Yacht club has installed in his
summer home on Calf island, near
Boston, light, the massive bronze ma
rine clock presented to him by the
club members at a dinner given him
at the B. A. A. on May 4.
The clock is a beautiful specimen OF
the clockmakers' art.
tt stands nearly two feet high and
weighs fuzzy fifty pounds. The dial is
FURNISHED steel and the bronze case is
finished in dull luster.
On the base is this inscription:
NAV 4. 1906. Presented to B. F.
Cheney by the members of the Boston
Y. G.. as a token of their appreciation
of his zeal, generosity and loyai
services to the club.
Of all good things that eer can be,
Nav YOURS be best on land and sea-
With fairest skies and weather fine,
And still a thought for AUD Lang
Syne."
In receiving this gift Mr.. Cheney
made a droll speech, saying that ne
had suspected the gift was to be
walking stick, and that he had pre-
pared a speech for a walking suck.
Thereafter when mentioning the gilt
in his speech, he referred to it with
mock gravity as this handsome walk
ing stick"

Remedies for six months, and after
that every splotch was entirely gone

Can Held His Own.

Here's a business man who can hold
his own with catalogue houses. A
merchant of Humboldt, Iowa, has a
two-page advertisement in his paper
and says he can outsell, out-bid and
Guido any catalogue house in Chicago
and he is doing it, too. Why not?
His rent is hess, insurance less, clerk
hire far less, goods come in large
quantities with less freight. A man
who goes into his store and buys
knows what he is getting and the ad
tells just what he has to sell. Gaia
logue houses can't compete with the

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, IS unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child'S DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves: it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, g the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Dc YOU experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like cryingp
Do YOU feel something ike ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy
If so, your nerves are IN shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
