Hold an interesting Meeting and Elects
Officers.

The annual meeting of Gopher Lodge
No. 105 l. B. P O. E. W. was held
last Thursday evening. There was
a good turnout and the meeting was
quite enthusiastic, especially so when
the Secretary, R. M. Johnson, reported
that at the close of the Elk year,
May 31st, the Lodge was entirely out
of debt and on better basis than
ever before. Since the fire under the
hall which damaged the elegant furni-
ture by smoke and water a thorough
renovation has been made and now
everything is as spick and span as a
new pin, enabling Gopher Lodge to
again boast of having the finest Lodge
Hall of any Afro-American organiza-
ton in the United States. They are
now able to accommodate other Lodg-
es and will rent the small hall for
Lodge meetings for $500 per month

The Delicious Sweet Pepper.

Your garden ought to be well sup
piled with that most palatable vege-
table, the sweet pepper. Many peo-
pie imagine that all peppers are too
hot to be eaten with comfort, but
this is a great mistake. The only
hot portions are the seeds, and they
can be removed before cooking.
Green peppers are cooked in va
riety of ways, and there is no vege-
table that produces more table en-.
joyment than these vegetables If
little study and care is given to their
growth and preparation for the
table.

SYNOPSIS.

Howard Jeffries, bankers son. under
the evil influence of Robert Underwood
fellow-student at Yale, leads a life of dis
Bipation, marries the daughter of a gam
bier who died in prison. and is disowned
by his father. He is out of work and in
desperate straits. Underwood, who had
once been engaged to Towards step
mother. Alicia, is apparently in prosper
GUS circumstances. Taking advantage or
his intimacy with Alicia, he becomes
sort of social highwayman. Discovering
his true character, Alicia denies him the
house. He sends her a note threatening
suicide. Art dealers for whom he acted
as commissioner, demand an accounting.
He cannot make good. Howard calls at
his apartments in an intoxicated condi-
ton to request a loan of $1,000 to enable
him to take up a business proposition.
Underwood tells him he is in debt up to
his eyes. Howard drinks himself into
maudlin condition, and goes to sleep on
divan. A caller is announced and Under
wood draws a screen around the drunken
sleeper Alicia enters. She demands a
take his life. He refuses unless she will
renew her patronage. This she refuses,
and takes her leave. Underwood kills
himself. The report of the pistol AVA
kens Howard. He finds Underwood dead.
Realizing his predicament he attempts to
flee and is met by Underwood's valet.
Howard is turned over to the ponce;
Capt. Clinton, notorious for his brutal
treatment of prisoners, puts Howard
through the third degree, and finally gets
an alleged confession from the harassed
man. Annie, Towards wife, declares her
belief in her husbands innocence. and
says she will clear him. She calls on
Jeffries, Sr. He refuses to help unless
she will consent to divorce. To save
Howard she consents, but when she finds
that the elder Jeffries does not intend to
stand by his son, except financially, she
scorns his help. Annie appeals to Judge
Brewster, attorney for Jeffries, Sr.. to
take Towards case. He declines.

let his calves lose what is known as
"calf fat" 1t is well known that young
animals gain more rapidly in proper
tion to their live weight and to 100
pounds of food than do older animals.
That is, they not only made more
economical use of their feed than the
older animals, but they take shorter
time to make certain total gain. The
man who turns off a steer that weighs
1000 pounds, has, if that calf weighed
100 pounds at BIRTH been given 10 per
cent. of the total weight by the DAM
while the man who keeps the animal
till it weighs 1850 pounds has been
given only per cent The man who
can make a steer weigh 1000 at u
months has more return for his
trouble than the man who keeps It
"a months, with an additional weight
of only $50 pounds.
Butchers, too, have changed to suit
the demand of the consumer. AL
though meat is generally considered
a luxury in the diet Of the poor mans
family, it still remains an absolute
necessity in the diet of the better
classes But, where people formerly
ordered large roasts and steaks, they
are ordering steaks and roasts now
that are from so to rs per cent. small:
er on account Of the advanced prices.
They find that If they get a small
roast from a large animal that 1t Is
long on bone. The butcher then to
suit the demands for smaller bone de-
mands smaller animals, and during
the last few months they have been
willing to offer, not a premium on
smaller steers so far as dollars per
100 is concerned, but they have
brought the price Of small steers UP
so close to that of the large ones that
there is really premium on little
steers when we consider the cost OF
production.
We do not think that the 1900
pound steer will ever be entirely
eliminated from the market, but we
do think (if a conjecture is allowable)
that the baby beef animal will con-
tinue to increase In popularity in
those districts where men do not wish
to dairy.

way differed from tie offices of ten
thousand other lawyers who strive to
exc out a difficult living in the most
overcrowded of all the professions.
They consisted of a modest suite of
rooms on the sixth floor. There was a
small outer office with a railed-off
Enclosure, behind which sat a half
dozen stenographers busy copying
legal documents; as many men clerks
were writing at desks. and the walls

Howard looked at her in mingled

as proud and obstinate as his father
astounded him.

erly.
81 asked him to come publicly to

Tears filed Towards eyes and his
mouth quivered.
"Then my father believes me guilty

quickly. What we must do now is to

cried:

grating Annie sprang forward.

voice through the bars.
Cant l go in to him?" she asked
pleadingly.
The keeper shook his head.

He walked away and the husband
and wife were left facing each other.
The tears were streaming down An
MES cheeks. 1t was dreadful to be
standing there so close and yet not
be able to throw her arms around him.
Her heart ached as she saw the dis
tress in his wan, pale face.
why didn't you come before? he
asked.
81 could not. They wouldn't let me.
Oh, Howard" she gasped. What a
dreadful thing this is! Tell me how
you got INTO SuCn SCTdpe!
He put his hand to his head as If 1t
hurt him, and she noticed that his
eyes looked queer For moment the
agony of a terrible suspicion crossed
her mind. Was it possible that in a
moment of drunken recklessness he
had shot Underwood? Quickly, almost
breathlessly she whispered to him:
Tell me quickly, it's not true, is it?
You did not kill Robert Underwood"
He shook his head.
NO" he said.

claimed. But your confession-what

WINNER IN BIG RACE HAS
TAILS TO ''GUIDE FOLLOW
ING AIR."

Ray Harround, driver of the
winning car in the 500-mile race
at Indianapolis, drives a car
built to overcome atmospheric re-
|sistence as much as ingenuity can
suggest.
The Marmon WASP" as the car
has been labeled, is freakish
looking speed machine, and Har-
round is as much wrapped up in
it as kid in his first pair of
breeches.
Seeing the Wasp for the first
time one is apt to ask, why the
tail?,
The answer comes from the sci
entiffc sharks in the Marmon de-
signing room. who explain, with
trigonometry and other
things that fit a man for residence
in the laughing academy, that the
tail, or the tails, for the car has
several, act as guides to the fol
lowing air."
Have you ever ridden at high
speed In a motor car? IL so you
know something of the resistance
offered by the atmosphere. The
greater the speed the greater the

resistance.
When a racing machine hurtles
through space at from 70 to 100
miles an hour, the atmosphere
banks in front and acts as a buff
fer, the cars passage creating
what amounts to almost vacuum
behind.
The Wasp was equipped with
the tails, upon the theory that
they would guide the air as 1t
rushed into the partial vacuum
behind the machine. :
The tail idea has been carried
out wherever possible. Even the
rear axle boasts of a tail, bolted
on. and the drip pan has been
made narrow aft until 1t resembles
a tail.
Harround rides low, and the air
slipping over the car does not
catch him full in the face. 1t is
figured he gets more speed for the
same number of revolutions than
the man who drives a car of usual
Harround rides alone. Instead
of a mechanician to watch for
cars, his car is equipped
with a looking glass, into which
he can gaze as he drives, keeping
an eye on the cars behind him
without having to turn his head.
