His Face Called for a Touring Car.
That it Is expected Of some very
plain women to have money in their
own right, and some very unattractive
men to possess motor cars In order to
maintain their popularity, was shown
the other day in a conversation be-
tween two young women on a street
car. They were speaking OF q man
they had Just met, who supposedly
had accumulated quite a bit of wealth.
Said the first one, eagerly; Has
he a motor carr"
Replied the second: NO, l think
not"
And the first one looked up in an
evident n of surprise.
What" she exclaimed, that face
and no motor carr"

THE WATERS UNION.

Many walters in our city have
scorned the idea of unionism. We
are free to say that they have not
given proper thought to the value Of
unity. The question is often asked,
What will it benefit me-" Just what
you demand of 1t. The Walters OF
Local ga have organized with this
purpose, Ito better their condition
morally, socially and financially" To
do this they must cooperate as a
unit, along reasonable lines. It Is not
an attempt to gain recognition by
strikes, etc, of to demand immedite
increase of wages etc, but to affiliate
with all culinary workers, who under
the protection of the Allied Trades
and Labor Unions get a greater con-
sideration than could be hoped for
without such Identification. It is
fact that many other fraternal bene-
fits are derived from such a union. It's
object is grand, yet its benefits will
never be realized unless each mem
Der does his duty as a man, and re-
mains true to his obligations.

Cookery
Points
Preserving Hints.

A veteran housekeeper suggests to
facilitate the work on days when fruit
preserving Is to be done to have all
Ingredients and utensils ready In ad-
vance. II the fruit must be peeled do
this early in the morning or even on
the afternoon before, dropping each
piece in cold water as soon as the
skin IL removed.
II berries must be hulled, hull them
the day before. As to the tedious
business Of topping and falling goose
berries, engage the children in the fam.
lily to do this day ahead Of time, pay
ing them q few pennies for the task.
See to It that glasses and jars are
scalded and rinsed out in cold water
and ready to be flled. Be sure that
the jar lids at tightly and that the rub
bers are new and unbroken. A defec-
tive rubber will cause the fermentation
Of an entire jar Of perfect fruit. A
pair Of kitchen scales is an important
article at preserving time.
Use agate or porcelain lined kettles
for preserving and jelly making. Have
Q spoon with such long handle that
the steam from the contents Of the
kettle will not scald your wrist and
hand as you stir them. A wooden
or agate spoon Is better than one Of
metal, upon which the acid of the
fruit may cause chemical action
which will affect the taste or color Of
the fruit It touches.

level headed young men and women he
hopes to leave in charge Of his paper
and it's plant.
Some men accuse Mr.. King of being
stern-very stern-but no aspiring
youth ever found him other than SYM
pathetic. His greatest enemies are
men against whom he had no Ill
thoughts, but fought because they
needed not the cry of the colored youth
and persistently helped to close the
door Of opportunity against them.
At present Mr.. King is the leading
spirit among the men of the race who
are fighting Cecil Lyon, whom he terms
the Lily White destroyer Of the Re-
publican party and its principles in
Texas. Others are fighting Lyon Sc
cretly and under cover, but the editor
Of the Express fights always in the
open and when racial interests are at
stake asks for no quarter and gives
none. He gives his time and money
and space In his paper to the present
fight, and so far as is known not one
has given anything to further the fight
or assist him. Alone he has braved
the storm and stood like a stone wall
against the enemy.
The masses of our people in this
state are beginning to realize more and
more the results Of the efforts put
forth by Mr.. King in their behalf. He
has been an active participant in the
various secret societies for many years.
he is not satisfied with simply being q
member Of society. but has given
them the benefit Of his knowledge and
experience freely. His efforts have
been directed along constructive lines.
In view Of the fact that Mr.. King
has never sought to hold an ONCE In
any Of the secret societies to which he
belongs and to which he has given
much time, thought and labor and In
recognition of his unstinted services to
the race along other avenues Of useful
ness, his friends all over the state have
decided to present his name for grand
chancellor Of the Knights Of Pythias.
His business acumen. his foresight and
his training in life's great school Of
experience make Of him an ideal man
for the place his friends desire him 10
all.

ESSAY ON ADVERTISING.
Abstract Theories Not So Help
full a. Careful Observation.
By ALBION LEWIS HOLsEY.

A man who recently died in
Chicago started an agitation
which may revolutionize our sys-
tenn Of education. He sought to
discourage the burdening Of chill
dren's minds with abstract theo-
ries and formulate. believing, on
the other hand. that the child
should first be taught to observe.
When the child mind is so train
ed that it unconsciously forms
an opinion Of shape and color we
will then have laid the founda-
ton for a better education. -
Many people read papers and
are not able to tell anything they
saw except the fashion. sporting
or editorial page. while the other
departments are passed by IN
noticed.
With an education based on OBJ
servation the average reader
would get more real benefit from
papers than they do now.
A decade ago the advertise
ments were either bombastic in
appearance. including exagger-
ated statements and impossible
propositions, or were simply
meaningless words which an
nounced that such and such a
firm was In business. Now
things are different. for in all
first class periodicals advertise
ments are written in an educa-
tional. instructive manner. and
people who read them carefully
learn many things which help
them to save time and also to cut
down expenses.
Advertisements of standard
lied. trademarked goods Is the
best thermometer to gauge the
march Of progress Of invention
and scientific research. and no
newspaper or magazine should
be discarded until it has been
read with the greatest care.

NEWSPAPER DRAWS COLOR
LINE IN PRIZE CONTEST.
Race Rsssnts Insult by Advising With
drawal Of its Patronage.

In one Of the large cities of the coun.
try a certain newspaper opened a vot-
ing contest for women. The prize for
the winner was announced as being a
trip to Europe. One Of the bright. in
teliigent young colored women Of the
town entered the contest and had re-
ceived 800 votes when the manager of
the contest found out her racial iden-
tty and informed the young lady that
she was not eligible, SO It is said.
This is but another instance Of the
unfair treatment which respectable.
honest and Industrious colored people
are daily receiving at the hands Of the
30 called best white people. From such
injustice and hypocrisy may God de-
liver us.
When the action Of the contest man.
ager became known one Of the promi-
nent colored citizens Of the town imme-
diately advised every member of his
race who had been reading the paper
which drew the color Lire to read 1t no
more. This was manly stand to take.
and It is hoped that his advice will be
strictly adhered to.
Nothing Is SO mean and base as the
act Of one person or persons to with
hold from others that which is legally
and civilly due them simply because Of
their color. When one looks at the
present status of things. however. from
a moral standpoint and from the stand
point Of honesty It would seem that
the colored people should rather re-
joice in the fact that they are not of
the class here spoken of.
