For decorations nothing could be more
attractive than a massing OF aSters,
volden rod. wild parsley. and autumn
leaves, such as YOU doubtless VIII ind
in the fields nearby. Bowls Of asters and
golden rod mixed with wild parsley and
keavy-headed grasses work up adorably
when used as decorations. Mass the
flowers together carelessly and have all
the stems all lengths that the blossoms
may fall almost as they do In the open.

REAL FUN FOR HALLOWEEN.
Oldti'ne Rowdylsm Should be Super.
seded by Other Aumsements.

Every boy feels that he has O spe-
cial right on Halloween night to go
out and have some fun. Somehow or
other the fun is very apt to be at the
expense Of other people. It may seem
very amusing to take gates off their
hinges and hide them: but this is
cruel fun. for 1t makes work for the
older people who have to put them
back again.
Ringing doorbells Is another stand
ing Joke that may turn out badly.
Some boys once stood a board up
against front door. rang the bell
and ran across the street to SO what
would happen. A woman came to
the door with a lighted lamp in her
hand, and the board fell against her,
smashing the lamp, and setting her
on fire. so that she was terribly burn
ed.
There are plenty Of ways Of having
fun without injuring anybody, and a
good plan Is to get up a Hallowe' en-
masquerade party. Let every boy
hunt up the queerest old clothes he
can find and dress In them. so that
the others will not know him. If he
has not mask he can rub his face
with burnt cork, or paint himself to
look like an Indian. doing anything
that will make IL hard for the other
boys to recognize him.-The Define
ator.

INVESTIGATING FOR MIR. TAFT.
Secretary Dickinson Studying the Ne
gro Question In the South.

Washington, Oct. lat Is learned
on good authority that President Taft
has asked Secretary of War Dickin-
son to make special study of vari-
Gus aspects Of the negro race ques-
tion. The object of this request is not
made apparent and further details are
not yet yet obtainable. Secretary
Dickinson for some time has been at
his home at the Belle Mead farm in
Tennessee. While at home Mr.. Dick
inson has been looking into the sub
ject. During recent visit to Nash
Vile II Is understood that he asked
Major E. c. Lewis, one of that city's
prominent citizens. what he proposed
as a solution Of the race question.
Major Lewis Is prominent in the COM
mercial world by reason of his con-
nection with the Nashville Terminal
Company. but has never gone into
politics. According to the report Ma
jor Lewis declared that the absolute
disfranchisement Of the negro and his
elimination altogether from politics Is
the only thing that would solve the
race question and benefit both races.
The response Of Secretary Dickinson
to this suggestion Is not known.

Dickinson's Plan Attacked by Chand.

Former United States Senator Will

H. Evening Monitor:
Secretary Of War Dickinson, In q
speech at Nashville. Tenn. on Sep

construction. differing from that
placed in the Constitution OF the Uni

tween the States. as It is at the end
OF nearly half century pleasant to
call the shareholders rebellion. His
plan s to abolish negro suffrage. in
the Southern States in return for ef-
forts to abolish the lynching Of ne

This Is his Enactment:
L
mo negroes are to be appointed TO
office in the South.
II.
Tho white people are solely to
govern.
"Inferentially the colored voters
are to be deprived Of suffrage to any
appreciable extent, but the 10000, 900
of colored people are to continue to
be the basis en which the white vo-
ters at the South are 10 possess so

In return for this destruction Of
the principles of political equality
without regard to race, color or pre-

declared by the Constitution, there is
to be at the South:

ITO what extent President Taft is

North as a guarantee of impartial
suffrage. while the South, in It's own
approved and noble methods, sees to

CHURCH FAMED IN HISTORY
Edifice of ST. Nicholas at Great Var
mouth Said to Be the Largest
in England.

The Church of St. Nicholas at Great
Yarmouth Is said to be the largest
parish church in England. 1t is GER
tainly larger than some OF the cath
edrals, and it is broader than York
Minister. 1t possesses a remarka BILE
curiosity in the shape of revolving
reading desk, but, apart from this, the
interior is not particularly interesting,
though it would have been had the
church wardens of the past been as
appreciative of art as of business. We
hear of splendid altar tomb being
demolished to make room for door
way, of the beautiful sepuchral brasses
being sent to London and cast into
weights for the use of the town.
Certainly, we cannot blame Crom
we'll and his troops for all the de-
struction worked in famous churches.
1t was in st. Nicholas church that
Lord Nelson, accompanied by Sir Will
lam and Lady Hamilton, returned
thanks to God, in November, 1900, for
the successes of the British fleet.
Even the largest parish church in
England could scarce contain the
mighty congregation.

Did This DoQ Reason?

We brought from Scotland collie
about six months old, says a CORE
sponent of the London Spectator. He
was allowed, to be with us at the
breakfast table, but never to be
fed in the dining-room. This rule
was strictly enforced by my daughter
I was the only member Of the family
who ever broke over the rule. And
often when I offered him a tempting
bone he would glance across the ia
BILE, and if he caught the forbiddine
eye he would resist the temptation
But one morning she left the table
abruptly. Rab followed her into the
hall and watched her till she had
closed the door of her study. Then he
scampered back, nudged my elbow, as
If to say: Now is our time!" He
seized the bone, and was soon crunch
ing it with the greatest satisfaction.

Buttons Are Still Used DIS ifl;am.h!.y

Buttons are still CONSPICUOUS among
the poplar trimmings, their decoTa-

lines, offer fair field for the intro
duction of these accessories, with or
without accompanying buttonholes.

The Roots of Altrujsn1,

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is moral law
before which all men are equal, SO
that l ought to help my neighbor 20
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that l owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if | do
not do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at sometime ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.
