Is not good for man to dwell alone.

glasses, he says his trouble has he
gun, before the marriage ceremony
is announced, madam rumor says it

I would like to have the privilege
of answering the deacon from Mace
donian, when he asked why his church
was not invited to take place in the
Union services with the A. M. E., the
M. E. and Second Baptist on Decora
tion day, my answer in part would be
thus: These three churches are work
ing for the advancement of the race,
and we are using every effort to
Btamp out immorality. We cannot
say this of the Macedonian, take Mrs.
Florence Chrlsman and daughter from
the Macedonian, and nothing but Im
morality and vice will be left, and as
long as this church has such a corrupt
preacher as the one they have and as
long as he continues to buggy ride
with the Pool girl so long it will re
main to its self and not be recognized
by the other three churches. Tho
Pools could not lead in the Second
Baptist church Is why they left and
organized the Macedonian, being cor
rupt themselves, of course they could
not get any joiners but corrupt ones.
for It Reaches More
KANSAS CITY MO.;
So they took only two moral members,
the ones I mentioned. The Second
Baptist is marching on to victory.
The Rising Son says some of tho
teachers In K. C. are corrupt, I say
the same about the Macedonian.

Glosslne, queen of all hair tonics
Is the most wonderful remedy for tho
human hair ever discovered and has
astounded the whole world by its mi
raculous and mysterious power in
lengthening, straightening and beauti
fying the human hair. It is the result
of long years of careful study and tho
earnest researches of Miss Helen Mar
tin, a beautiful and attractive woman
who is acknowledged to be the most
skilful and famous beauty doctor of
the day.
She Is a wonderful and most magni
ficent specimen of womanly grace and
beauty, and although now "8 years of
age she scarcely looks to be Hn. When
j nsked by what mediums she had been
able to so successfully preserve the
attractiveness and beauty of youth.
Miss Martin said, Why it Is very sim
ple to me and every woman be she
i wni, or to1"'''''!, young or old or us
UK,V "s Km 1,st'lf ru bi'come pretty,
shapely and graceful If she will only
do as I advise. As a child I was never
considered pretty, In fact 1 was not
even thought to be good looking and
for this very reason ever since I was
a girl of sixteen I havo made a study
of such agencies and materials which
Uml to beautify and adorn the human
person.
In the glorious vegetable world
which nature has so bounteously be
stowed upon us there are hundreds of
innocent mediums which after my long
! life "f 8,ll(ly nn'1 llm'HtiKlltl)" lav
been aide to successfully blend and
formulate into various preparations
which enchnnce and preserve tho life
and beauty of tho hair and skin. I
owe my own good looks nnd youthful
appearance to these preparations
which urc" the results of my life long
work.
As to Glosslne I have never known It
to fail to cause the hair to grow long,
straight, soft and luxurious. It mat
ters not bow harsh or kinky it may
be and I care not. If It. be short broken,
splitting at tho ends or fallng out
Glosslne will positively make It soft,
straight and pliant. It will give to the
hair lustre, length, life and beauty and
no head of hair can be so harsh nnd
refractory but. that Gloslne will make
it so pliant and wavy that. It can ho
dressed with ease and in any prevail
ing style desired.
It will restore gray hair to Its for
mer color, make the hair grow out on
all halil spots, ami on tho temples
when the hair Is usual y (bin and un
sightly. Glosslne is highly, sweetly
and most delicately perfumed, and Its
color nnd siibslslency Is very at Trac
tive to all. Seeing our great success
and with the desire to (rude upon our
reputation gained by long years of
honest dealing nuiivrous unscrupu
lous firms art trying to fool the pen
pie into buying spurious ami harm-
decided to give a full sized package of
Glosslne to any render of this paper
male or female who will send their
name and address. Do not delay.

MISS LILLIAN TOOLEY
the gifted entertainer about whom so
much has been said. Who will appear
In Kansas City some time during this
summer. The following furnishes
rich commendation as to her worth in
her chosen line of work.
Miss Tooley will lie assisted by
Miss Nora 1 loiiglass 1 the brilliant
young pianist of the Prof. N. Clark
Smith Studio of Chicago.
Five years ago .Miss Lillian Tooley,
of Missouri, came to the Anna Morgan
Studios, XL.". Fine Arts llullding. il
cago, III., as attendant. During the
first two years of her service lu (he
Studios she recognized the value or
the work taught there and the benefits
to be derived, and quietly began to
acquire, mostly through her keen ob
servation of I lie teaeliers, pupils ami
their work, a knowledge of the art of
reciting.
On Wednesday evening, May the Mb,
Miss Morgan, Hie founder and direc
tor of the Studios tendered her a tes
timonial recital which was largely at
tended hy the patrons and friends of
tho Studios. It was a pleasant sur
prise to all present to see bow much
of the truth in the art of expression
Miss Lillian has aeqiilreil, ami her
program was a varied and entertain
ing one.
During the past year she has had
a number of engagements la nnd about
Chicago ami in Indiana. Last summer
Miss Tooley gave thirty five recitals in
Missouri, and has many return dates
for the ruining season. Her friends
all join in w ishing In r the success hhe
so richly deserves.
Miss Morgan's Introduction was full
of praise ami coinmemlat Ion, not only
of her artistic ability as a reader but
of her sweet oml amiable disposition
which has won many friends for her
during her five years of association In
this Studio.
The closing remarks made by Miss
Tooley expressing her gnil it mli' to
Miss Morgan ami the teaeliers were
deeply fell by all present.
On this occasion Miss Tooley wan
the recipient, of many tokens of ap
preciation In the form of words of
commendation, flowers, checks, etc.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Miss Lilly Tooley is perfectly quali
fied to give a complete program of
recitations, monologues and songs, und
does not require the services of any
assisting artists aside from her ac
companist. I heartily recommend her to church
es ami clubs who desire an entertain
incut. She Is sure to please.

For a love letter written by Robert
Burns, the Scottluh poet, 50 was paid

NUMBER i
HAD TO HAVE EXERCISE.
And He Got It By Bumping Into tha
Fighting Editor.
Thud, clatter, hrruinp!
The editor looked up from the con
genial task of spoiling someone else's
story.
"Sometimes," be said, "I feel sorry
for spring poets."
Ho blue-penciled nnntber half col
umn Into silent nothingness, and
panned again to linrk to the sounds of
utrlfn coming from the next room.
"It seems to me," be said, "that
tneso squeals are in some wise ta
miliar to mine ears."
He telephoned a "stop" message in
to the lighting editor's den. and tho
next moment that heated and dusty
functionary nppi a red leading a bat
tered wreck by the car.
"This Is the fourth llnin lie's been
up this week," aid the man of mus
cle. "Can't I nnish him?"
The editor held up a merciful hand.
Then In a kind ami tender voice ho
spoke to the poet.
"Why have you returned four
times?" he asked. "Most of your
brethren find oncn enough."
"My doctor tells n.e I must get
some violent exercise," the poet said,
"and this la the only way I can af
ford to take It." linden Answers.
Duty of a Gentleman.
On one occasion, having returned
from playing poker at the club, my
grandfather said :
"When n man Ih hnrd up he should
borrow; but he must devote his en
ergies to paying back and remaining
the equal of the man from whom he
lias borrowed. If he cannot pay back,
let him be (rank iiIkhiI it; for it is
better to steal than to cheat."
And again:
"To ride straight and to shoot
Ftralght, to win money cheerfully and
to lose It cheerfully, never to be boor
ishly In debt or swinishly drunk, to
enjoy Mowers and music, ami If pos
sible to be In love with at least oim
good woman, Is half the duty of u gen
tleman." "What's the other half, grandpa?"
I had asked Mm.
"Why, to be n gent lemon, of
course."
Gouverneiir Morris.
The People's Schooli.
The schooU belong to tho people,
and will bo what the people make
them. It fl n mistake to suppose that
school oMIcet'H and teachers aro tht
only ones that have to do with the
making of the schools. Tho peoplo
set tho pace for the tenchers and
school otllcers. If a school officer
does not meet tho Ideals of the people
he Is turned out at the 11 1st elect loll.
If a teacher does not meet the bbvila
Oi thn peoplo tho teacher Is quickly
reached through the school otllcers.
So It gets back to the pcopln In the
cnil. The man that thinks the schools
are not good enough should set him
self about having them Improved. It
Is astonishing how much one person
can do to Improve the schools when
ho sets himself about It. Henry F.
