that would be enough. She would
not buy it. Why?
Because she knows that cream
of tartar has always been accepted
as the most wholesome product for
raising cake and biscuit, and she
wants a baking powder made Of
cream OF tartar, like Royal.

BAPT|STS 70 MEET
IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVEN-
TION WILL CONVENE IN
HOUSTON MAY 18TH.

On May the 18th, this year, the
Southern Baptist Convention Will
convene In Houston. It has been 2l
years since this body met in this
State: and has met in Texas but four
times during the entire history OF Its
existence.
This convention constitutes one OF
the largest representative religious
gatherings on earth. In addition to
the vast numbers OF Baptists from all
parts Of the southern states and in
fact from all over the United States
there will be present at this conyen-
iion. representatives Of this mighty
denomination from almost every
quarter Of the globe-from among
the peoples Of many tongues and ma
tions. Some of the visitors to this
great gathering will breathe for the
Rrst time the balmy atmosphere OF
free America, while many OF the
messengers from throughout the
Southland will behold for the first
time the glories OF our grand old em-
pire state with her vast riches and
marvellous resources.
The Baptlsts throughout ell Texas
together with their friends should
now avail themselves Of this oppor-
mnity Of attending the convention
as this is the first time for so many
years that it has met in this state
and perhaps 1t will be the last time
that It will do so for several years
10 come. Some Of us will never have
this opportunity again during the
rest Of our lives. This should induce
members to attend from every city,
town. village, mad country side In the
state Every pastor within the state
should not only come himself but
should see to It that several Of his
flock shall be present TO behold the
workings and to participate In the
spirit the fellowship and the uplifi-
ing power and the influence OF this
rrent body OF kingdom builders.
The Baptists Of Houston, together
with the business men and entire
citizenship are extending and viii
extend most cordial and hearty
welcome to every member Of this
mighty host.-E. j. lsenhower.

BILLIARD NEVER GOT
 THE $2,75o,ooo PROFIT
Late J. p. Morgan Objected to It as
 "Unconseionable"-G $15o,oo

New York, Nov 24.-John L. Billiard. the coal dealer, never got the $2,75o.000 profit that was due him as the result of his famous deal with the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, whereby he bought 109,94S shares of Boston and Maine stock from the road at 125 and sold it back a year later at 150. This was brought out today at the trial of the eleven former directors of the road on the charge of criminal violation of the Sherman law.
 "UnconseienabIe" Profit.
 The late J. P. Morgan, according. to the testimony of Charles s. Mellen, ob- jected to the profit as "unconscionable" and said that he could not and would not stand for It." As a result, the board of directors passed a resolution ton was consummated, to turn over all his profits, less a reasonable com pensation, to the New Haven. Just what the compensation was the gov ernment had not brought out when the trial adjourned until Monday, but it was understood that the prosecution expected to prove that it was in the neighborhood of $150,000.
 Argument Over Minutes.
 The government was delayed in get ting to this testimony by an argument over the admission of minutes of the board of directors which purported to show that. in accordance to the reso- lution, Billiards profits, his unsecured demand notes and the stock of the Billiard company were assigned by him into the treasury of the New England Navigation company. New Haven subsidiary.
 Judge Hunt ruled the evidence out after Mir. Mellen had testified that the minutes did not accurately represent a report he had made to the board on the adjustment he had made with Bill lard.
 Discrepancy of a Mere Million. There was a little discrepancy of g million dollars, that's all.' remarked the witness. adding that the late J. G Parker, secretary of the board, had in correctly recorded the proceedings. The Billiard deal was arranged, ac- cording to the government, so that the New Haven could keep control of the Boston and Maine until an act wa: passed by the Massachusetts legisla. | ture permitting 1t to own 1t legally l The governments chief purpose in in | troducing the disputed minutes was tt show that in spite of the contention O. | the defense that Billiard was a fre' agent while he owned the stock, thu New Haven appeared to have sufhcien up his profits.
 R. L. Bats, after stating that h. would seek to prove by other testimon! that the minutes were correct, asked Mir. Mellen if the attention of thu board had ever been called to the al | legged inaccuracy. Rip It Right Out of Book.
 "Yes, about two months and hal later," he replied. T was going to us' the shorthand method to correct it rip it right out of the book-but, ac cording to MT. Ledyard (Lewis Cas- Ledyard, a defendant), I was near go | ing to state's prison. He said No, | and that it was a crime, and wasn' going to commit a crime. But tn, | record was wrong. If am not righ T about it, then my memory is absolute | ly good for nothing"
