DR.. A. B. ANCkER

In the death of DR.. Ancker, super
intendent of the city and county hos
pital, St. Paul has lost as great a
servant as she ever had. No man
came so close to the so-called masses,
no man labored so diligently, gave of
himself so unstintedly and IMPARTIAL
ly as did DR.. Ancker.
The colored citizens of St. Paul
lose in his passing man who was as
fair in the administration Of the &C
comodations at the hospital as any
man could be. No person was too
old, too black, too dirty, too low, or
too poor to receive from the admins
tration at the hospital the very best
attention. He did not champion the
cause" of colored people-he didn't
try to-he simply treated them just
like other people in every respect;
and that is all that colored people
desire. They can and will champion
their own cause.
1t is to be hoped that DR.. Ancker's
successor will minister in the same
spirit of his predecessor. ..

York Central Lines" was the major
domo Of the group and James Smith,
nail carrier, but better known as a
government employee" was his as
sociate, but the exodus Of the black
people from the south brought the
doctor, the minister, the professor,
the dentist and the successful bust
ness man who came and built up the
real beginning of the black aris-
tocracy in this country. Bankers,
insurance men, lawyers, ETC., have
joined this group and qualification
in society is proceeding along it's nat
ural course exactly analogous or at
least similar to the formation of
social groups of the white race in
this country.
One conclusion is left for US to
make according to our system of
government, meaning the capitalistic,
and that is the black race is not diff
ferent from the other polyglot groups
that make up this nation and he is
shaping his course in conformity
with the rest. If progress is contem-
porary with qualification here then
is another irrefutable argument for
the black, race in this country, his
ability to adopt himself, and his
sameness in ideals.
When socialism comes and levels
all society, if it does, then we will
change our viewpoint but as long as
caste and clan prevail, as long as
education and wealth along with bus
mess intelligence determine the lines
to be drawn within the fold we must
take pride in our social qualification.

last minute to come for relief, but
they have to undergo much suffering
because they waited too long.
Reflex pain. This is the pain that
is in itself misleading. One thinks
that the pain is In a particular area,
but after diagnosis it is found to
exist some place else. For example,
/ had patient who said that an up
per nolar tooth on the right side
had been giving him considerable
trouble and he could not sleep nights.
/ found on examination that the teeth
on the upper right side were sound
and free from decay, but in his low
er jaw found wisdom tooth that
was in a hopeless condition. I ex-
tracted this tooth and the patient
got immediate relief. So it was not
the upper tooth at all. This is re-
f1ex pain. Impaeted and interrupted
teeth are frequently the cause Of
such pain.
Operative pain is important be-
cause the thought of it keeps many
away. But there are some opera
lions that can be performed painlessly
while on the other hand some can
not. All cases are not alike and all
people are not alike. Some people
have more resistance than others
more will power and more endur-
ance. Some people are nervous and
weak, while Others are strong and
healthy. So one can readily see that
the operator can not do the same for
everybody, because they vary as well
as their conditions vary. Operative
pain in my mind is a thing of chance.
1t all depends upon the patient and
of course little depends upon the
anesthetic used. / say that a little
depends upon the anesthetic used be-
cause if the patient gets into his
mind that he is being hurt or that he
will be hurt, the anesthetic doesn't
help very much. But if the patient
will say that that isn't going to hurt
and the operation is going to come
out all right, it will (try that some
time.) Operations are generally per-
formed painlessly under a general
anesthetic, but it is not always neces-
sary to use a general anesthetic.
Post-operative pain is unavoidable
in some cases. It all depends upon
the primary condition of the patient.
If you have swollen, sore, and in
TANNED area to operate in it is like
ly to be painful after the operation.
We have many agents that we use to
stop post-operative pain and in some
instances patients have not suffered
any pain after their operation, and
some suffer very little if any.
Mental pain is really sad because
people make things worse by there
thots; by their impressions and by
their imagination. If people would
not harbor so many hideous evils
there would be less suffering. Some
people actually tortured themselves
with their minds. @l.>. r..
Friends do not be alarmed when
you have pain but be thankful that
you have it and come Immediately
for relief, come in the right frame
of mind and every thing will be
lovely.

HEAR DYER

CONGRESSMAN Leonidas C. Dyer is
to speak at Pilgrim Baptist church
Friday night at 8 o'clock on the
"Shame of America"
Every colored man and woman
who can get inside the four walls
of that church ought to hear him.
Congressman Dyer is to father a
Dyer anti-lynching bill in the next
Congress. He is working for the best
interests of expressed colored people.
He should have the whole hearted
support of every colored voter.
Yesterday a colored man who does
not see much good in anything COM
planned that Rep. Dyer couldn't do
any good because they'll lynch you
anyhow" No doubt there will be
lynchngs after the bill is passed if it
is passed, but the Dyer bill will tend
to CURB lynchings without doubt.
After you get thing slowed down it
is nearly always an easy task to stop
it altogether.
Colored people should be the last
ones to find flaws in the move to seek
a federal law against lynching. The
fact that the southern states are
solidly against the plan should dem
onstrate that it has some merit. -.
Be sure Friday night to encourage
the man who is fighting your fight.

CHAPTER Viii
Fl CAPTAIN.

7~ Stillwell's interest in the revolution
across the Mexican line had manifestly
increased with the news that Gene
Stewart had achieved distinction with
the rebel forces. Thereafter the old
cattleman sent for Ell Paso and Doug
las newspapers, wrote to ranchmen he
knew~on the big bend of the Rio
Grande, and he would talk indefinitely
to anyone who would listen to him.
There appeared to be no doubt that
the cowboy had performed some dar-
ing feats for the rebels. Madeline
found his name mentioned in several
Of the border papers. When the rebels
under Madero stormed and captured
the city Of Juarez, Stewart did fight
ing that won him the name Of I'll Capt.
tan. This battle apparently ended the
revolution. The capitulation of Presi-
dent Diaz followed shortly, and there
was q feeling of relief among ranchers
on the border from Texas to Califor-
MIA. Nothing more was heard Of
Gene Stewart until April, when a re-
port reached Stillwell that the cow
boy had arrived in 81 Cajon, evidently
hunting trouble. The old cattleman
saddled a horse and started post-haste
for town. In two days he returned,
depressed in spirit. Madeline hap
pened to be present when Stillwell
talked to Alfred. .... ....-
oval, it's sure amazin' strange about
Gene. It's got me locoed. He arrived
in Ell Cajon week or SO ago. He was
trained down like as IL he'd been fdin'
the range all winter. He had plenty
Of money-Mex., they said. An all

see the many business details Of Her
Majesty's Rancho and to keep rec
ord Of them. Madeline found the
course Of business training upon which,
her father had insisted to be invalu-
able TO her now. It helped her to as
simulate and arrange the practical
details Of cattle-raising as put forth
by the blunt SHllwell. She established
an extensive vegetable farm. and she
planted orchards. The climate was
superior to that Of California, and,
with abundant water, trees and plants
and gardens fiourished and bloomed
in a way wonderful to behold. Here
in the farming section of the ranch
Madeline found employment for the
little colony Of Mexicans. Their lives
had been as hard and barren as the
dry valley where they had lived. But
as the valley had been transformed
by the soft, rich touch Of water, so
their lives had been transformed by
help and sympathy and work. The
children were wretched no more, and
many that had been blind could now
see, and Madeline had become to them
a new and blessed Virgin.
Madeline looked abroad over these
lands and likened the change In them
and those who lived by them to the
change in her heart. It may have been
fancy, but the sun seemed to be
brighter. the sky bluer, the wind
sweeter. Certain it was that the deep
green Of grass and garden was not
fancy, nor the white and pink of bios
som, nor the blaze and perfume OF
flower. nor the sheen Of lake and the
fluttering Of newborn leaves. Where
there had been monotonous gray there
was now vivid and changing color.
Formerly there had been silence both
day and night; now during the sunny
hours there was music. The whistle
Of prancing stations pealed In from
the grassy ridges. Innumerable birds
had come and, like the northwaro-
Journeying ducks, they had tarried to
stay. The song Of meadow-lark and
blackbird and robin, familiar to Made
line from childhood, mingled with the
new and strange heart-throbbing song
Of the mocking-bird and the piercing
blast Of the desert eagle and the mel
ancholy moan Of the turtledoye.

PAIN

This is matter we all know some
thing about for there is not per-
son on the face of the earth who
does not suffer pain at some time or
other. Just what is pain and why do
we have to suffer pain. This is prob
ably the most fruitful topic of con-
versation in a dental Office, and yet
it is a common one Hardly a pa
tient, takes the dental chair but the
question rises to his lips: doctor,
will it hurt ?" .-..,..- -, "a
Friends, let me tell you that pain
(pre-operative) is a wonderful thing
it is blessing in disguise, and
well disguised t is at times. Of
course you who suffer pain do not
agree with me when I say these
things, but they are true because
when you suffer an ache or pain
Nature is warning You that some
thing is amiss, something is wrong
and it must be righted. If Nature
did not give you this warning, why
you would just simply rot and fall
to pieces. A great deal Of pain is
unnecessarily inflicted or needlessly
allowed to exist, because people do
not heed natures warning.
For the sake Of simplifying mat
tiers, will create the following class
ification of pain and view it from a
dental standpoint:
~ Pre-opcrative pain; (2) Reflex
pain; (a) Operative pain; "a Mental
pain.
As already stated, pre-operative
pain must be considered avery valu-
able factor in the conservation of the
teeth. Some people have hypersen-
sative teeth and the nerves give
warning upon the slightest encroach-
ment of decay. This is most for
tunate condition; because under these
circumstances the patient seeks re-
lief in ample time. On the other hand
some teeth decay to considerable
depth sometime the puips may be
exposed and yet these teeth never
give the slightest discomfort. This
is most unfortunate condition be-
cause frequently infection sets in
and the tooth or teeth must be ex-
tfacted. From this short paragraph
remember to heed any pre-operative
PAIN and you viii save yourself a
great deal Of trouble and misery. A
majority OF people wait until the

SOCIAL STRATIFIcATIoN
Chicago Whip

With the flight of years, strait
fication or the formation of layers
can be noticed by those who have
made a study of the "rocks of ages"
Time causes the rock to form itself
in layers one upon the other, each
separate and distinct. This strait
fication or layer formation is indica-
tive of natural process extended over
given periods of time. There is a
striking similarity in the study of
races. We find that humanity is
formed in layers, lower and upper
straits piled layer upon layer. The
black race in America is going
through a process of social strait
fication and sure indications Of pro-
gress are made evident by the visible
appearance of upper crusts, middlers,
and the inevitable underformation. A
few years ago all black people were
grouped pell NELL in one category,
they all were looked upon alike, for
the most part they thought alike,
each was as good as the other and
they basked and reveled upon the
same social plane. There were no
lines of social distinction, no lines of
demaraction, no nobility, no plebans
and no rabble. Stratification in the
society of the black people is now
asserting itself.
The school teacher along with the
minister was the first in establishing
distinctions. The teacher was respect
ed and considered beacon light, the
title of Professor" gave him pres
tige. He was considered a little
more than his fellows. Along with
him came the physician and dentist.
Doctor Blank was the "big man. of
his community and his wife, sMrs.
Doctor Blank" was the cynosure of
feminine eyes. They grouped them
selves together and established the
upper crust" of the black people in
this country. In the course of time
successful business people-mostly
undertakes and BARRIERS, were
admitted into the charmed circle.
The nobility of the black people thus
had its birth and social stratifcation
started upon its inevitable course.
The south marked the scene and the
sight. :.
In the north the employees of the
government and the railroads were
the beginners in creation of social
structure. John Jones, .of the New

A Negro, caught picking a steno-

of "Get a rope!" and "String him

AGED, SICK, RECEIVE
HELP FROM TRAVELLERS AID

During the past month the Trav.
elers' Aid Society has handled more
than 5000 minor cases; has placed
665 persons on trains. and has guided
$40 foreigners who were unable to
talk English and put them on their
right way.
Every possible phase Of hard luck
is disclosed by applicants for help at
the society's booth in the Union sta
tion, and usually a way is found to
give relief to those who are in dis
tress," it was announced today
Virtually every organization in the
city that engages in social welfare,
charitable or relief work, co-operates
with the Travellers Aid Travelling
soldiers turn to the society as a
proved friend; the ambulance drivers,
the Walter Reed. st. Elizabeth, Emer-
gency and other hospitals use it as
their clearing house." and all drivers
and attendants from those institu-
tions report at the booth when they
have cases at the Union station.
Tickets and persons coming under
the jurisdiction of the Red Cross and
Associated Charities are handled by
Travellers Aid workers"
Among extraordinary cases handled
by the society within the month were
eleven run-aways, nine of whom were
taken in charge and promptly re-
turned to their homes, while the re-
naming two were returned after un-
avoidab BILE delays. Over 125 children
were handled by Travellers Aid dur
ing the past thirty days, and twenty
three stranded" cases were dis
posed of, or turned over to organiza-
tions prepared to furnish the neces-
Sary relief.
An interesting case just handled
was that of Mrs. E. NJ. Phillips,
eighty-three years old, who was
placed in charge of the local Trav-
