PHILADELPHIA, PA., Jan. 15, 1900.
The West Philadelphia Saturday
School established in August by
twelve ladies, four from each West
Philadelphia Fountain, Mrs. C. A.
Atwell, principal was visited by the
Chief of the Philadelphia Division.
There are 37 boys and girls enroll
ed, aged from seven to thirteen.
When the Chief came in they
were engaged in learning the proper
way of setting table and the exact
system of washing dishes. The
Chief and a lady visitor made in
structive addresses commending the
children for the unison and precision
with which each duty was per
formed and the delightful songs
‘which they sang at intervals, illus
trating their work. Twelve of the
smaller girls sang a ‘‘food manners
song,”’ which taught them how to
sit properly and how to receive a
guest and to open and close a door.
Every instruction was coupled with
a suitable moticn, which was exe
cuted with vigor.
The outfit of the school was in
spected. Every child has a beauti
ful set of dishes, knives and forks,
dish pans and brooms, a real house
keeping outfit.
Chief Irwin explained to the
school the advantages of the Rose
bud Fountain and we hope many of
them will join and learn business
methods as well as sewing and
housekeeping.

My. Editor.—Please allow space
in your excellent paper for me to
say a few words about the twin
city.
Qur division was never ina bet
ter condition, Even siace the New
Year; many have joined the foun
tains, classes and Rosebuds. Sev
eral persons have in the past week
¢r so, made their ‘membership self
support‘ng.
~ The_interest that is heiug mani.
fested in the Rosebud Department
is very gratifying.
Little Otha Owens, age 13, a mem
ber of Rocebud 273, bids fair to ri
val the invincible Kyles in useful
ness. Her missionary spirit has al
ready attracted much attention; and
her efforts to carry other little girls
into her church, Sunday School
and society, have endeared her to
the hearts of all who know her,
Below is a paper read by her be
fore Mt. Zion Bapt Sabbath School,
of which she is a member; she is
also an active member of the same
church.
Cheerfulness.
The way to be cheerful is to make
others happy. If you meet some
little girls and boys that are not
dressed as you, you should not
make fun of them or speak some
thing to make them feel bad, but
you should speak some little word
of kindness. Every little word of
kindness spoken will sink deep into
some heart. Often you think they
are lost but they will return. Al
ways speak kindly to old folks and
you will always be cheerful. Speak
kindly to those that speak evil of
you. Often it will cause them to
speak kindly to you and thus make
you cheerful. There are many
things that we little girls and boys
can do to make home, our Sunday
school and other places eheerful.
You can make others cheerful by
speaking kindly to them and treat
ing them with politeness. To at
tract old people, you must treat
them with politeness and they will
always speak a cheerful word to
you. You can make your school
cheerful by bringing otbers into it,
by coming on time yourself and by
treating visitors with kindness.
If our teachers do not come on
time, let us lead them by coming on
time ourselves. And then let us
help to support the Sabbath school
by giving our pennies, for ‘“God
loveth a cheerful giver.”” Do these
things and you will always be
cheerful.
The outlook for the order is very
encouraging. We can truthfully
say that we are on the high road to
success.
I remain yours for the race,
A. J. Brown, Chief.

_ Some of the True Reformers were
in a state of lethargy, but since the
union and public mesting they seem
to be more zealous for the work,
we only wish that Rev. Carpenter
and Chief Hendley had remembered
Lewes sooner; “brethren please
come again.
Chief Hendley has a fine club at
‘Nassane, Del., with $39 27 in treas
ury and he is doing all he can to
have them set apart soon. He is
ably assisted by Mrs. S. H. Payn
tner. Whilst here in Lewes Rev. J.
T. Carpenter was the guest of honor
at a dinner given by Mrs. Adaline
Sommers of No. 6 Nassau street, the
other guests present were Chief
A. P. Hendley, Rev. and Mrs. Chas.

COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA.
T) THE
RECOGNIZING THE FACT that there are many so callen hair
growers anh strpighteners now being offered on the market, and knowing
to a certainty thit most of these are frauds pure ann simple. We wish
to make a straigat-forward statement to the colored people of America,
through its besjpaper, THe REFORMER.
In the year} 871, our present Secretary through a fortunate circum
- stance acquired fhe receipt for OZOMNO. It was not offered for sale or
- pushed to any ¢ ent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and
- met with markq success. After a thorough test by the leading colored
eople of that Jme, it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy.
g‘rue to all we himed for it and worthy in every respect of the confi
dence and attenjon of every momber of the colored race. Because they
found it to caud the hair to GROYW LONG AND STRAIGHT, soft and
fine and as beayfful as an April morning. It also cures all forms of
itching, humiliging scalp diseases, stops the hair from falling out, and
causes a new gpwth to grow on the baldest head. Now, whenever a
genuine article ppears on the market. There are always a lot of people
who imitate anjimake capital out of the merit of other peoples goods.
Seeing our marpd suceess numerous so-called hair growers and hair
straighteners wé put on the market. Of course the colored people had
no way to tell tht they were being fooled and bought most of them to
their sorrow. _
Now we askiou a plain question. Would we absolutely agree to re
fund you your ®uey provided vou are not satisfied with the prepara
tions we manujcture if our goods were not true to all we claim for
them. We right here that we have'advertised for nearly 24 years,
offering to retusthe money for every case in which Ozono did not give
satisfaction andée have never yet had to refund the money. Ozono
will positively &e the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Curly, Refactory
Bair. It will pke short, harsh hair, loug and straiBht. It will cure
your head of 8 itching, worrying, running scalp diseases, Eczema,
Pimples, Dandrf, Itch, &c
It will stogour hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to
its natural colorjuaking the hair Long and Soft, Fine and Silky and as
beautiful as anjpril morning. 10,000 people are to-day using Ozono
