CO SENSELESS PREJUDICE By Many of the American White People is Becoming More Noticeable Each Day Toward the Unfair Treatment of the Negroes. VOL. XII. Senseless prejudice is cropping out everywhere against the Negro. It is enough to make one ask if the American people are fools, from the way some of them act. Take up a paper almost any day and you will find that America has gone mad because of a massacre of the Jews by Russians, or Armenians by Turks. On the same page it will also be seen that this or that community has gone into connitions because a Negro has been treated with civility by some white man, who knows not a man by the color of his skin, but by his worth. If this civility is accorded him in the North, whether in hotel or private family, the South thinks it is its imperative duty to lecture both the North and the Negro on social equality. If, on the other hand, the Negro is discriminated against in the North, as was the case a few days ago in Springfield, Mass., where hotel keepers, with two exceptions, refused to accommodate the Negro delegates to the State Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows; the Southern white press makes it its duty to lecture the North for not treating the Negro better, and at once becomes solicitous, sarcastically, about the Northern press lecturing "the perpetrators of this outrage upon the man and brother." And this thing is cropping out more and more every day, and in more ways than one. Why. here, the other day some man made inquiry through a Richmond paper as to whether the Richmond laundries washed the soiled linen of their white and colored patrons in the same wash. And the editor of that paper said that he would like for the laundry that did to say so. Reading between the lines of the reply could be clearly seen the threats of a boycott. Here, the other day, in the National Farmers convention, in a plain, practical discussion upon immigration, a Southern delegate, and a Virginian injected the "social equality" and "race" question into the discussion as a pass at arms at the Northern and Western delegates. In God's name, we ask is the Negro a man—is he human? Is he a lineal descendant of the first man—Adam, whom God created in his own image? Does Holy Writ refer to a particular race of men when it says that God "hath made of ONE blood ALL nations?" Does the sacred Word refer to a particular race when the Psalmist says: "Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and hon- State Historical and Natural History Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATTERN RACI ORAD THE JOURNAL PREJUDICE White People is Becoming More ward the Unfair Treatment Negroes. or?" Which is wrong, the God in whom we believe and have our being or the man, "Race prejudice" as it exists in America? The Negro asks not "social equality with the whites as it pertains to those niceties which call for an exchange of visits, etc; the only equality he asks is that he be allowed those civic and political equalities that of right belong to him, he being a part and parcel of our civic fabric. The Negro is perfectly content with himself socially; separation on electric cars, steam cars, steam boats, theatres, hotels or anywhere else is agreeable to him, decidedly so, if the accommodation is equal. We know that Negro washerwomen wash their clothes along with the clothes of their white patrons, just the same as Negro cooks knead their bread and roast their meat along with their white employers, or as the black "mammy" suckles her baby from the same breast as that from which she suckles the white baby, who would otherwise die for lack of proper nourishment; there is no social equality in that, nor will there be if he is given decent accommodation on public carriers and the same in public ordinaries. The whole thing in a nutshell is a mean, foolish prejudice of which intelligence should be ashamed. "Only that, and nothing .more."—Reformer. Wills Money and Property to Negro. Macon, Ga., Sept. 13.—Unless the higher courts reverse Ordinary Wiley's decision Martha Johnson, a Negro woman, will not participate in the division of the estate of John Boardman. In a decision handed down this morning Ordinary Wiley allowed the will to be probated as filed with the exception of the eighth provision, which makes a bequest to the Negro woman, the section of the will over which the fight was waged. It will be remembered that the will of Boardman, who died some weeks ago, was filed in the office of Ordinary Wiley for probate, and almost immediately Mrs. Broadman, acting as guardian for her 8-year-old daughter, Juliette, took steps to prevent the will being probated Broadman had a one-fourth interest in the estate of his father, which has been estimated at $15, 000, and of this he left one-half to his daughter. He made several bequests and $2,000 to Martha DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1905. Johnson, the Negro woman, and provided further that she was to get all that was lef after the other provisions of the will had been carried out. In his decision Ordinary Wiley declares the document to be an inofficious will and contrary to natural affections and moral duties. He further gives the opinion that the woman used undue influence on Broadman and that such a will was against public policy. Judge W. D. Nottingham, counsel for the woman, will appeal the case to the Superior Court, and Major Marion W. Harris, attorney for Mrs. Broadman, will make another strenuous fight opposing him.

Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 22.—Early this morning, the charred remains of Lulu Wise, a Negro woman, and her four children were found in the smoked ruins of her home near this place. They had been murdered and the house set on fire. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 12. At to-day's session of the great Improved Order of Red Men the West Virginia delegation offered a resolution protesting against the organization of Negro tribes of Red Men and requesting that the ritual of the order by copyrighted. Miss Edna Gray, of St. Paul, a $900 clerk and stenographer in the Patent Office at Washington, was recently promoted as a recognition of her faithful and efficient service. There are two other Afro American copyist in this department, eight messengers and twenty laborers. There are more Negroes in Lexington and Fayette county, Kentucky, than there are of any other single nationality, twice as many as there are Irishman and twelve times as many as there are Jews, Germans and dagoes combined, constituting two-fifths of the total population—yet they have no respectable representation in the local government, whereas the Lexington Herald is justly indignant. Muskegee, I T., Sept. 22.—The Western Negro Press association elected to-day: President, W. H. Duncan, of Colorado Springs; vice president, C. N. Sellers of Buxton, Ia.; correspondent secretary, W. H. Twine. Muskegee, I. T.; recording secaetary, F. J. Mordon of Muskegee, I. T.; treasurer, Miss S. Tidley of Guthrie, Okla. The association will meet next year in Colorado Springs. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 17. Fatty Grimes, a Negro with a bloody St. Louis record, was killed to-day in a duel with George Fitzhugh, another Negro. Jeally was the cause of the trouble, which occurred in Hammit Ashford's saloon, where Fitzhugh was employed as a bartender. The police found $700 worth of diamonds on the dead man, which he wore as studs and rings. His body will be shipped to his mother in St. Louis. Wilkins town, W. Va., Sept. 24 Breaking into the city jail here today an armed masked mob of "white ribboners" took out Moses Lovern, a Negro serving 60 days for assaulting James Butcher. Taking Lovern and Thomas Blackburn, the only other prisoner, accross the river in a boat, upon landing, the mob beat whipped and stoned Lovern until he presumably was dead. Both prisoners were returned to jail. Lovern will die. Blackburn gave the names of eight men in the mob and Prosecuting Attorney Shepard has issued warrants for them. "The Negro needs a little more time for improvement." says the Houston Post, "Under the many difficulties clouding his pathway, he is striving upward and onward. Certainly he is seen in the wrong light. Many of the short comings of the Negro are due to the wide spread influence which has gained popularity over the South that he is clamoring for social equality. The old Negro is all right they say, but the new Negro is the bone of contention. He wears a standing collar and refuses to lift his hat and does not as his father did, answer to the name "uncle." In order to please the white man, it seems that he must possess just so much knowledge and that of a certain kind—must strive to be a good servant and never speak above a whisper on certain topics. If one Negro commits rape it is presumed that all other Negroes will do likewise and if one steals all others are thieves. This is wrong. Those who try to be good and help to uphold the law do not feel that they have the respect of the community when they are considered in the same class as the drunkard, the gambler the harlot and the rapist. Give him a chance let him who will, come. Right now the Negro does not know what to do. The Negro needs sympathy and the industrial caressess of his white brother that the solution of this question may be properly dealt with. There are some bad Negroes, we admit, but they are hopelessly in the manority and have no respect whatever from the intelligent and thrifty ones of the race. INDUSTRIAL TRAINING For the Negro is a Very Necessary Vocation to Better His Biased Chances in the Commercial or Business World. "Many have thought," says the Seattle Searchlight, "that industrial training was meant to make the Negro work, much as he worked during the days of slavery. This is far from right. If this training has any value for the Negro, as it has for the white man; it consists in teaching the Negro how to make the forces of nature, air, water, horse-power, steam, and the electric power, work for him, how to lift labor up out of toil and drudgery into that which is dignified and beautiful. The Negro in the South works, and he works hard, but his lack of skill, coupled with ignorance, causes him to do work in the most costly manner, and this has kept him near the bottom of the ladder in the business world. Industrial education teaches the Negro how not to drudge in his work. Let him who doubts this, contrast the Negro in the South toiling through a field of oats with an old-fashioned reaper, with the white man on a modern farm, sitting upon a modern harvester behind two spirited horses, using a machine that cuts and binds the oats at the same time, doing four times as much work as the black man with one-half the labor. Let us give the black man so much skill and brains that he can cut oats like the white man, then he can compete with him. The Negro works in cotton and has no trouble so long as his labor is confined to the lower forms of work, the planting, the picking and the ginning. But when the Negro attempts to follow the bale of cotton up through the higher stages, through the mill where it is made into the finer fabrics, where the larger profit appears, he is told that he is not wanted. The Negro can work in wood and iron; no one objects so long as he confines his work to the felling of trees, and sawing of boards, to the digging of iron ore and making of pig-iron. But when the Negro attempts to follow this tree into the factory where it is made into desks and chairs, or when he attempts to follow the pig-iron into the factory where it is made into knife-blades and watch springs the Negro's trouble begins. And what is the objection? Simply that the Negro lacks the skill, coupled with brains necessary to compete with the white man, or that when white men refuse to work with colored men, enough skilled and educated colored men cannot be found to super- NO. 1 intend and man every part of one large industry, and hence they are constantly barred out. There should be a more vital and practical connection between the Negro's educated brain and his opportunity to earn his daily bread." Black Skin Vs. White Skin. In Shakespeare we have the following romances: "Othello the Moore," we find the story of the sable Moore making love to the fair Desdemona; there was a white suitor in the case; the dusky Moor then said "Let us incision make, to prove whose blood is reddest, yours or mine." In this way they were to prove whose love was truest, and most worthy to win the hand of fair Desdemonia. Beneath the outward covering of a black skin there flows blood just as red as under a white skin. In Holy Writ we find these words: "Of one blood God hath made all nations of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." If it is really true that a Negro is inferior to a white man because of his color, why does not the same rule hold good with other creatures, so that a black horse is inferior to a white horse, a black cow to a white cow, etc. To conclude the one is as absurd as to conclude the other. The accident of race or color had little or nothing to do with it. There is nothing great in the world but man, and nothing great in man but mind. Hence we believe with Pope, sho said: "Were I so tall as to reach the poles And grasp the ocean in my span, I'll still be measured by my soul The mind's the standard of the man." —Seattle Searchlight. When the white board of education at a Kansas town wanted to enroll the colored and white children separately the colored parents invaded the grounds. The men retired when ordered to do so but the women refused to leave and seated their children with the white children. They fought for their rights until the board postponed the enrollment. St. Louis, Sept. 24.—A Negro attempted to assault the wife of Deputy Sheriff A. J. Shores at Clayton to-night and was shot by Shores and badly wounded. The shooting attracted a mob of Negroes from the congregation of a colored church who attempted to lynch the Negro, Robert Taylor, but were prevented and Taylor was safely landed in jail. ENGLAND AND JAPAN WILL BE IN CLOSE ALLIANCE Two Great Powers Agree to Stand Together in the East—Will Preserve Integrity of India and China and Maintain Open Door. London, Sept. 27.—The text of the new agreement between Great Britain and Japan which was signed by Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign secretary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, August 18th, was issued by the foreign office late last evening. The momentous document is a brief one, comprising less than 800 words, including eight articles and a preamble. It creates an alliance offensive and defensive, binds the two countries to preserve the integrity of India and China, keep the door open to all nations, and in case either Japan or Great Britain is attacked the two nations will combine their forces against the attacking power. Accompanying the agreement is a covering letter from Lord Lansdowne to the British ambassadors at St. Petersburg and Paris for transmission to the Russian and French governments, respectively, in which the foreign secretary courteously reviews the agreement and carefully points out that the new defensive alliance is not intended as a menace, but rather as a guarantee of peace and prosperity in the far East, in which all countries may participate. The main features of the new agreement have already been forecasted in the dispatches from London and Paris. The pithy articles of the official text, however, bring out forcefully the tremendous importance to both countries of this alliance, which practically makes Great Britain Japan and Japan Great Britain for the purpose of defense "in the regions of East Asia and India." The inclusion of India specifically as a point at which any aggression by a foreign power will call for the assistance of Japan, finds much favor with the press of London, the morning papers in long laudatory articles welcoming the new and more extensive alliance of the two insular kingdoms west and east as giving immediate relief from the dangerous thunder cloud which for so many years has hung over the Indian frontier. Baron Hayashi, who was interviewed after the publication of the agreement, said: "The new treaty forms an effective safeguard against the renewal of disturbances in the far East. This is its object. We cannot say that a permanent peace has been secured—that is too much to be sure of—but we can aver that tranquility has been assured for a long time to come. "This applies not only to Great Britain and Japan, but also to all powers having political or commercial interests in that part of the world; in fact, to all who have been interested in maintaining the status quo. "I repeat that the treaty is a sure guarantee of peace, for that is its aim and object. It should be clearly recognized by all that it is not meant as a menace to any one. It has no aggressive intent, its only object being to secure the peace of the world so far as the East is concerned." Rio Grande Southern Wreck. Denver, Sept. 27.—A Republican special from Durango last night says: A Rio Grande Southern mixed train, south bound, was wrecked between Mancos and Dolores this afternoon and ten people were injured. The injured are: F. H. H. Montgomery, a showman, left leg broken below the knee; Miss Jessie Copeland, shoulder and collar bone broken and cut on side; Miss Jennie Banks, cut under arm and on breast; Miss Ruth Shelby, face cut and body bruised; Mrs. Mike Woodell, Dolores, seriously injured internally; John Chetlock, Canon City, jaw fractured; Mrs. Mary E. Wells, Dolores, right arm injured; Mrs. Charles Mattson, Mancos, seriously hurt internally; her son, bruised on shoulder; Mrs. Charles Barber, slightly bruised and hurt internally; Johnson, mall clerk, back bruised; Duncan, baggageman, hand cut; Mrs. R. H. Ratcliffe, Red Wing, Minnesota, shoulder and arm dislocated; O. J. Lansing, Lincoln, Nebraska, several ribs broken. The wreck was caused by spreading rails. The entire train except the engine turned over and slid a short distance down an embankment. Italian Defense Bureau. New York, Sept. 27.—On recommendations by Count Saybaud Massiglia, the Italian consul general, three large Italian charitable societies in this city have united for the purpose of establishing a bureau which will investigate all complaints made by Italians and all injuries done to Italians anywhere in the United States. The bureau will have the broadest possible scope and will bring to the attention of the government at Washington all matters which may involve international inquiry. Outside of these matters, attention is to be especially directed toward relieving the great congestion of Italians in New York by distributing them among the rural communities, where work will be found for them on the farms. The bureau will be under the joint control of three charitable societies. Successful Airship Flight. Portland, Ore., Sept. 27.—Lincoln Beachey, in the airship City of Portland, made a remarkable flight in the exposition grounds yesterday. He headed his vessel toward the city, where he made a stop on top of the Chamber of Commerce building and delivered a letter from President Goode of the exposition, addressed to the Commercial Club of the city. Beachey then sailed over the building occupied by the Journal and over the Oregonian building, dropping letters from President Goode to the Journal and Telegram. After maneuvering over the city for some time Beachey returned to the exposition grounds. LIGHTING LORE ACETYLENE EXCELS AS AN ILLU- MINANT. Gas for Lighting Formerly Confined to Cities and Large Towns, now in General Use in the Country. The satisfactory lighting of suburban and country homes requires that the means used shall be convenient, safe, economical and furnish a brilliant, penetrating, effulgent light. Everybody admits that these are not the characteristics of the candle or kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were the only feasible means of producing light for domestic use in the rural districts. For generations there was a crying need, a yearning for something better, which was not satisfied. A few years ago deliverance came in the shape of the chemical compound, Calcium Carbide, from which, by the simple application of water, the gas Acetylene is derived. Acetylene meets all the requirements fully and admirably and is being generally used. Common lime and carbon in the form of coke or coal are the raw materials which, fused in an intensely heated furnace, make Calcium Carbide, and there is no difficulty in obtaining it in any part of the country. The machine into which the Calcium Carbide is fed and from which the Acetylene is distributed through the building to be lighted, is but little larger than a thirty-gallon milk can, and of the same general form. It is easily and cheaply installed, either in the cellar or in an out-building. The light from burning Acetylene is exquisite, and lighting experts agree that it surpasses all other known illuminants. It does not taint the air nor strain the eyes and is not objectionable in any respect. Every up-to-date rural residence should be equipped with Acetylene light. Successful Air Sailing. The degree to which the navigation of the air has now progressed is attested by the experiment of Captain Baldwin's airship, "City of Portland" at the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds. The airship was off the ground for forty-two minutes and during that time it traveled a distance of seven miles, reaching a maximum height of a thousand feet and following a prescribed course and landing within three feet of the initial point. Part of the course was made in the face of a breeze of from three to six miles an hour, and during the trip the aeronaut circled around the tower of the Oregonian building. This was a noteworthy trip, but its chief importance lies in the demonstration that the essentials of aerial navigation have been mastered. To rise in the air, to maintain equilibrium, and to steer independently of the wind, these are the three great things, the rest are mere details. Now the Baldwin airship has done all of these things. It has ascended to a height of a thousand feet. It has maintained its equilibrium for nearly three-quarters of an hour, so that its occupant has not been spilled upon the ground and so that the ship itself has not been wrecked upon any obstacle or upon the ground. And it has pursued its course under control along a specified course, returning to the point of departure after a large circuit and a smaller one. After this, aerial navigation is only a matter of improvement. The size of the ship may be increased. The construction of the engines may be improved. The safety of the occupants may be greatly increased. The ability to make way against wind currents may be raised almost indefinitely. The duration of the trip may be extended. But with an airship that can raise itself, balance itself and steer itself against or across the wind, the main problems have been solved and the inventor finds himself in z. position where he can make these improvements gradually and to an extent that it is impossible to forecast.—Pueblo Chleftain. Few men have faith enough to leave their umbrellas in the vestibule of a church. GET POWER. The Supply Comes From Food. If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skillfully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a poor fire is not a good steam producer. "From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heart-burn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. "A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it. It proved to be just what I needed. All my unpleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 lbs., my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. The Grape-Nuts food did it."

No Matter What She Signed, Woman Would Pay When She Liked. "Do you know what you signed?" asked the man, as the woman laid down her pen. "Why, yes," she replied. "I signed a contract to pay for a piano in so many months at the rate of so many dollars per month." "How do you know you did?" asked the man. "You didn't read the contract." "I know that," said the woman. "It wasn't necessary. I haven't time for that. I know what I told them down at the office yesterday." "That is just like a woman," said the man, impatiently. "They clap their names to any kind of a document without reading it over. So careless are they about such things that half the women in the land would sign their own death warrant and not know it." Then the man read slowly through the written agreement. "Here," he said, "is a mistake, first pop. Fortunately you are dealing with a reliable firm that will rectify it. If you were buying from some jay concern that would hold you to your bargain you would have to make your payments on the 12th of every month, instead of on the 1st, as you wish to do." "Oh, that's nothing," said the woman, serenely. "Don't worry about that. I'll pay whenever I get ready, no matter what the contract says." "Oh, excuse me," said the man. "Perhaps that explains why all women think it unnecessary to read whatever papers they sign." SHOCK TOO MUCH FOR BRUIN. Hugging Bear Evidently Did Not Know the Summer Girl The great performing Russian bear had escaped from the captivity under which he had chafed for so many months; but he was finding that liberty had its drawbacks. For many weary hours he had prowled, but nothing in the shape of food had he seen. Suddenly he gave a growl of delight, for, sitting on a stile, he espied a toothsome little lady, who was evidently awaiting the coming of a young man. Bruin did not stop to ponder upon his good-fortune; he seized her in a mighty hug. For a while she said nothing; but as he exerted more of his tremendous strength she murmured: "I don't think you are quite so strong as you were, Gerald." Then once more melancholy settled upon Bruin. He had done his best; but the young ladies of this country were beyond him. With a roar of despair he retraced his steps to the menagerie, and gave himself up without a struggle.—London Answers. Coachman as Collector It is related of Dean Gilber Stokes that once, when influenza had incapacitated his verger as well as the two churchwardens, he consigned the duty of collecting the alms to a neighbor's coachman. "Take the what, sir?" queried that worthy. "Take the offertory," explained the Dean. "The collection—the money from the people in the pews." The coachman seemed satisfied and even pleased with his new dignity. But when the offertory hymn was half through a noisy altercation was heard in one of the transepts, and the Dean at once called the collector to the ralls. "Whatever is the matter?" he inquired. The coachman, red of face and wrathful of eye, then explained. He was no half-and-half individual, and when a thing was given him to do he did it, and did it thoroughly. He said: "Why, sir, there's two men in the best seats as won't pay."—London Answers. Don't Use Slang. "A lady used the expression 'Gee' the other night," says an exchange. It had never occurred to her that this was taking the name of the Lord in vain, and probably few of many who indulge in sugar-coated profanity realize that they are swearing. What is "Gee" though, but a euphemism for "Jesus?" "Dear me" is nothing but the Latin "Deo Mee" (My God), "For Goodness Sake" is only for "God's Sake." "Drat it" is "God rot it." "Judas Priest" is "Jesus Christ." "Golly," "Gosh," "Glory," etc., are only variations of "Damm it." In short, there is probably not an expression of this sort that cannot be tracked to an ab for its origin. She takes fifteen quiet minutes in a darkened room after lunch.

Denver, Sept. 28.—At the Woman's Club building yesterday the president of the Colorado Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Churchill, turned the chain over to the chairman of the committees in charge. The morning session was in charge of Mrs, Fred Dick, with the brightest of Colorado's educators on the platform. Miss Katherine Craig, the superintendent of public instruction, made an able address, which was followed by addresses by James H. Baker, president of the University of Colorado; Z. X. Snyder, president of the State Normal School; H. A. Buchtel, president of Denver University; W. F. Slocum, president of Colorado College; V. C. Anderson, president of the School of Mines, and B. A. Aylesworth, president of the Agricultural college. The afternoon was devoted to a discussion conducted by Ellis Meredith, chairman of the state institutions committee; a talk on "Child and Animal Protectionit," by E. K. Whitehead; "Trade Schools," by F. L. Paddleford, president of the State Industrial School at Golden, and a round table conference conducted by Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker. Dr. Mary E. Bates reported on the state Home for Dependent and Neglected Children. "The great need," said Dr. Bates, "is a larger appropriation. The Legislature of 1905 appropriated the same amount of money for the biennial term following that the preceding legislature gave to the home for maintenance. "The Fifteenth General Assembly achieved the distinction of having criminally crippled all of the state institutions for the vain glory of the politicians, the profit of the corporations and the favor of the mighty. "Compel your men to go on record, Indelible record, before you vote for them and place them in power where they can squander the taxes which this great state contributes in ample supply to make of our institutions models of modern institutional achievement. "Make the state institutions an issue. The State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children needs development far more than we need a new fish hatchery; more even than we need a new $10,000 north door, or a glided figure for the same price on the top of our capitol, or $20,000 for coyote scalps." A report of the Girls' Industrial school was read by Dr. Josephine L. Peavy. Dr. Peavy made an appeal to the federation in the following words: "I want to appeal to you women to make that institution a credit to the state, a real industrial school and a home for these girls, who are so sadly in need of a home and of training to fit them for life. This is a work worthy of the federation. If you will only see that the girls have as fair a chance for making women of themselves as the boys have of making men of themselves, visit the two institutions, compare them carefully and then set to work, not to do less for the boys, but more for the girls. The girls of this state should be our special charge. "Undoubtedly the problems met with in dealing with the girls are greater and more perplexing than those met with in dealings with the boys, and yet one inexperienced woman after another has tried her hand as superintendent of the girls' school only to fail. "See what is being done, make suggestion, know personally each girl committed by your court, and be ready when a girl is eligible to parole to help find a home for her, so that she may not go back to the old environments and temptations. Help your legislative committee to secure the passage of a maintenance law establishing a school on an equal footing with other institutions. "In closing, let me emphasize this thought: These girls are our helpless, sick sisters. They are committed to our care, and we shall be held accountable for them." Kansas-Colorado Suit. Denver, Sept. 28.—October 9th the attorneys for Kansas and Colorado will have a tilt before the United States Supreme Court at Washington on the question of advancing their famous water suit on the docket. Kansas is particularly anxious to bring the case to a speedy hearing and is apparently ready to take risks because it wants an opinion before the opening of the next irrigating season. Kansas' attorneys have made a motion to advance the case for a hearing during the present term and seek to have a date set for the arguments. The attorneys have been notified to appear at Washington October 9th, at which time the court convenes in its annual session. The court has but one term a year, October to June. Colorado's attorneys held a meeting yesterday and decided that they will resist the motion on the ground that the evidence has not yet been printed and the attorneys on either side are not prepared to argue the case. Probably two attorneys from each side will go to Washington to present the case. Attorney General Miller will go from here and Joel F. Valle will also probably go if he can arrange it. Attorney General Coleman of Kansas and probably Judge Ashbaugh will represent that side. Bent County Fair. Denver, Sept. 28.—A Las Animas dispatch last night says: The Bent County Fair opened to-day with the largest attendance ever known on a first day. The weather was delightful and the visitors had something to entertain them throughout the day. The exhibits in agricultural, horticultural, stock, apiary, poultry and garden products surpassed anything ever displayed here before. Sugar beets weighing twenty-one pounds each, cabbages weighing fifteen pounds each, a pumpkin vine with twelve pumpkins attached, each averaging forty pounds, were but a sample of everything else. state, county and city institutions said in part: "Of the educational institutions, from the State University to the School for the Deaf and Blind, we have only words of praise and appreciation. Next year there will be specific things to do. So far the one recommendation that can be made now is to work for a constitutional amendment permitting the university to hold its medical school in this city—which is done in almost all the states where the university is not located in the principal city. I trust the day will come when the state will see that there is no reason for placing the blind and the dumb in one school, save our poverty and their misfortunes. There is every reason why they should be separated and none why they should be put in one school, save lack of funds. Denver, "In the case of the reformatory and the penitentiary, we feel that the wardens are doing all that they can, cramped for room and lack of means. "There are crying needs at the penitentiary, but we must wait for the convening of the Legislature to answer most of them. In the meantime, there is one thing we can do. The state furnishes a discharged man with plain clothes and a small sum of money. It does nothing for a paroled man, and there are men in prison who haven't the garments or the means to come out if their paroles were given them. The Society for the Friendless, of which Judge H. V. Johnson is the president, and Rev. William Collett is the secretary, can tell you of tragedies which will touch your hearts, and if you are willing to help they can make use of your efforts for these unhappy men, outcasts, but still fellow creatures. "We must have an asylum for the criminal insane, and if the prisoners are to come out better men than they went in, they must have employment. "At the insane asylum they need amusement and employment. The long, bare corridors are as clean as possible; the bare little rooms are spotless, but the dull, interminable days, with nothing to do, and only a very meager little library to browse over, are enough to drive any one melancholy mad. "The institution whose needs have received the most generous response so far is the Soldiers' Home. There are gathered there 175 men, nearly all of them old, many of them feeble and without relatives to assist them. To them we owe a debt we can never pay, and if we would show appreciation, we must do it soon. In a few years this institution will be vacant. "Speaking of Christmas, do try and remember the man who has the heaviest Santa Claus task in the state. There are enough discarded toys and dolls that would pay for redressing lying about in this state to give the children at the home for dependent little folks a gorgeous Christmas, and Superintendent Cowan will be the most grateful man that ever wondered what he was going to put into 160 empty little stockings. They need books and pictures. "It is not necessary to speak at length of the work of Mr. Argo, Superintendent Paddleford or Mr. Whitehead. They have spoken for themselves, and their work speaks far more loudly for them. Learn more about it, talk about it in your clubs, and lend a hand, especially to the bureau for child and animal protection." "Of the 'Girls' Industrial School there is an honest difference of opinion in regard to its present condition. Not in this committee, but among many other people quite as intelligent and as earnestly devoted to the welfare of the school. "Your committee therefore recommends that this federation notify the governor that it is in favor of the recommendations adopted by the joint meeting over which he presided; that we indorse his position, and trust that he will take such action as may be necessary to bring about the desired change in the administration of the school. Denver, Sept. 28.—A meeting of the Colorado Chautauqua Association was held at Boulder September 26th, presided over by Prof. Ira M. De Long. This was the annual meeting for the election of twelve directors, and amendment having been adopted providing for one, two and three-year periods, with four directors to be chosen from the number for each year. 1512 Curtis St. The report of the treasurer showed that $11,800 had been received from all sources and that a balance of $1,000 is in the bank to provide the preliminaries for the next session. Last year had been the most successful in the association's life. The new board was instructed to increase the orchestra to twenty members, and to provide for a quartet of singers to appear on the platform each night when wanted. Those elected directors are: Edwin Chamberlain and L. J. Long of Texas, C. L. Wellington of the Colorado & Southern railroad, A. A. Greeman, Eben G. Fine, A. A. Reed, J. M. Taylor, Ira M. De Long, Dr. O. M. Gilbert, J. A. Davis, G. M. McClure and Joseph Bergheim. These directors, together with Mayor L. R. Johnson, who is a director by virtue of his office, will have full charge of the next assembly. Montana Vineless Potatoes. Great Falls, Mont., Sept. 28.—At the county fair which opened here Tuesday there is on exhibition what the inventor calls "vineless potatoes." Some three months ago D. D. Darst, the discoverer of the new process for producing potatoes, announced that he could grow potatoes in from two to three months in a special preparation discovered by himself, in layers on top of each other and without vines. His experiments have been conducted in a box eight feet square. In the bottom of this box a layer of Durst's preparation is placed to the depth of three inches and a number of potatoes planted therein. N. M. CAMPIGLIA J. D. CRACO. 'Phone Main 4885. C. & C.

We have wondered for a long time why some concerted effort was not made by the representative people among us to encourage emigration of the better class of colored people to the West. That the West offers substantial inducements and that the climatic conditions are favorable to the colored people cannot be questioned, but that there has been no effort on our part to make the possibilities of this section known to the masses of our people who are toiling a hopeless toil in other sections is a fact also well known. A newspaper or a preacher or any one or two persons alone cannot do this kind of work effectively, it needs to have some organization behind it that will boost and advertise the advantages that the great West has to offer to the enterprising men and women, of other cities who might come here and do well. We offer this suggestion to the Eureka Literary Society and to the Peoples Sunday Alliance as a worthy object to consider. This subject ought to have a wide and comprehensive discussion among us and crystalize into some effective measure for making our section well known to those desiring new conditions for well being and doing. GAMBLING AT AN END IN DENVER Is there anything lost to the community by the closing of the gambling dens and policy shops of this city? Some have said that it would make a dead town but is that the fact. All must agree that gambling is a vice, it offers the gamster a short cut to a few dollars that proves a delusion and a snare. It turns young men from the approved high way of industry and success to the guagmire of idleness, disapation and chance. Where gambling flourishes the most, there you will find wrecked lives the most plentiful and debauchery in all of its flaunting shame. Where gambling is allowed to run all other forms of vice springs likes weeds in a neglected garden. Denver can well afford to loose this class of citizens without any serious decline in its progress, business or morals, and the sooner they go to other parts the better it will be for our young men and women who can then turn their attention to the serious things of life that make for a more substantial existence. The loss that may come to a few eating houses and saloons will be more than compensated for by the increase in the purchasing power of the many who will then have money to buy lines of articles that gamblers and their class do not purchase. The gamblers gain is Denver's loss and visa versa, we may well rid of the whole accursed thing. Our hope is that the order restraining the games of chance may be permanent and not temporary, especially as it relates to "old Pol" the colored brothers warmest friend. A NECESSARY REBUKE. Some evils are a blessing in disguise. Among them are the refusal of white landlords and real estate agents to rent houses to colored people. Even the best colored citizens must suffer with the lowest when it comes to renting white folks property. It makes no difference how long you have known the owner or the owner has known you, or what your standing or reputation is in the community, you are put off with some frivolous excuse that they cannot rent it to you. If there is anything that will make the best saint ripping mad is to have to go about the streets of the city with empty houses all around you and money in your pocket and then be told you cannot rent a house in some cheap white neighborhood, simply because your face is dark. If there is one spark of manhood or womanhood in you it will assert itself on such occasions as this. While you are undergoing it, it is a vexation but in the end it is a blessing, for it makes the Negro reckon on buying a home for himself and this is what he ought to do, and do it at once. While property is cheap, while Denver is building up, while times are good, get property. You will be more independent, you will be a better citizen, you will be a more careful voter and withall you will be a bigger man. Your family will think more of you and you will think more of yourself, and of your fellow toiler who like yourself is toiling on the upward way, and last of all your white friends will think more of you and respect you more because you display the element of frugality, industry and prudence.

Beauty a Matter of Personal Taste Japan Is But Reclaiming Her Own Amends Made by All the Defendants Amends Made by All the Defendants Gory Scene in Recent Popular Novel Scatter the Kindly Words of Praise Only General Agreement Is That the Power to Attract Is Unfailing Evidence of Its Possession. "Beauty is a question for the blind to decide," remarked Aristotle when pressed for a definition. Later on he wrote a treatise on the subject, but the manuscript is not extant, and even if it were would we ever be made to agree on the subject of beauty? Men like Hegel, Schelling, Fichte, Emerson, Burke and Gautier wrote philosophical volumes and essays on this topic—none of them agreeing, however. All the poets, the artists and the musicians of the world have tried to tell what beauty is, and only on one single point has a general agreement been made evident—the essence of beauty is the power to attract. As to the secret of this power all the world disagrees. The brilliant Gautier says: "A woman who is beautiful is brainy enough; that is, she has the quality of being beautiful. I prefer a pretty mouth to a fine mind. I would give fifty souls for a single well-formed Japan Is But Rec More Than a Century Ago Reconquered Territory Was in the Undisputed Possession of the Island Empire. An Englishman in Tokyo, writing of the Japanese conquest of Sakhalin island, says: "What the Japanese mean by their present operations may easily be inferred from the nomenclature they are adopting. They have called Aniwa bay by the name 'Higashi-Fushimi bay' to commemorate the destruction of the Novik by the Chitoe and the Tsushima, in the former of which ships Prince Higashi-Fushimi was then serving. So, too, Patience point has been renamed 'Kataoka Mitsaki' and Patience bay 'Shichiro Wan', in consideration of the fact that Admiral Kataoka Shichiro commands the naval expedition. Again, the two promontories of Shiretako and Notoro, on the east and west respectively of Aniwa bay, are to be called henceforth 'Juzozaki' and 'Kondo-zaki', after Kondo Juzo, chief librarian of the Tokugawa government at the close of the eighteenth century.

The white-winged dove of peace flutters and coos over Charcoal flats and Bovers trustingly in the ambient ether even where discord was wont to prevail. An armistice has been declared and the peace plenipotentiaries appeared before Recorder Fogarty yesterday morning, when the protocol was signed and the snowy-winged bird liberated. But the dove of peace has a wary eye skinned for trouble, for it is feared hostilities will break out anew, despite the friendly intervention of his honor, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Maudy Gould, a dignified matron of Charcoal flats, some time ago caused the arrest of Bill Sims, Chink Sims and Sam Sims on the charge of insult and abuse, and this morning agreed to withdraw the charge because the aforesaid dove had put in its appearance.

Here is a gory scene from Halliwell Sutcliffe's new novel, "Red o' the Feud." The scene is in England, the time in the indefinite past and the weapon used for the killings is called a "foster-brother," a kind of pole-ax: "He turned, to find Red Ratcliffe out of saddle, standing to the top of his six feet four inches of height and holding the ax in his two brawny hands, while he swayed it gently to and fro. What followed passed with the speed of a tempest flung from the belly of a clear blue sky. Wayne of Ludworth got his sword out somehow and leaped back; before his friends could get to him Red Ratcliffe had run forward, had parried his first wild sword thrust as one turns aside a bramble in one's path, had lifted foster-brother high and higher yet, swinging it like a flail above his head. "And then the great ax fell and Scatter the Kindly Too Often We Wait Until Too Late to Bestow Our Expressions of Love and Appreciation on Dear Ones. It is an easy thing to say it.

The Mohammedans have a great ethical work called "El Ktab," which defines the essentials for feminine loveliness as follows: "Four things must be of black color—hair, eyes, eyelashes and eyebrows. Four things must be white—skin, teeth, hands and the iris. Four things must be red—lips, tongue, gums and cheeks. Four things must be round—head, neck, arm and ankle. Four things must be slender—fingers, arms, legs and the back." The final tests, however, are four proofs of ignorance, which are betrayed by the eyes, nostrils, lips and fingers. So you see the French writer and the Mohammedan sage practically agree in raising the body of woman higher than her mind. Edmund Burke was a very particular chap. Here is his punctilious recipe: "She must not be too tall, but gentle and docile. She must have many varied spiritual qualities.

He visited Etorafu island in the Kurilles and there found that the Russians, true to the occidental customs of mediaeval days, had appropriated the unguarded territory in that region by the simple device of setting up pillars to announce its occupation. Kondo removed these witnesses of theft and on his return to Yeddo published a book dealing with the questions of Sakhalin (Karafuto), the Kuriles (Chishima) and Kamchatka. The gist of his contention was that the only tribunal to which international disputes about boundaries could be appealed was the tribunal of arms and that if Japan hoped to rest secure within closed gates she must take steps to define those gates. "Now after the lapse of more than 10 years Kondo's foresight is to receive national recognition. Thus Japan is significantly pointing to the pages of history, where in clear terms her titles to this northern island are inscribed. She virtually announces her intention of not only recovering but also keeping." off if they behave themselves?" asked Judge Fogarty. "Ah is, jedge," replied Mandy.

Wayne of Ludworth's day was done, and Red Ratcliffe, with little time to spare if the oncoming Waynes were to be met, set his two feet firmly on the ground and tugged and tugged at the ax, where it lay in Wayne's big skull, and wrenched it loose in the nick of time. The stripling Wayne, lighter of foot than his kinsman, had outpaced him, and his sword was perilously near to Ratcliffe, when at last he wrenched the ax-head free and swung it high again; once more the sword was turned aside, lightly as with contempt, and foster-brother whistled as it cut the air. "Shameless Wayne was close in now and made a desperate leap to save the lad; his fore foot lit upon a patch of offal in the road and he stumbled under the haft of the big ax as it turned and whistled down the wind and bit the stripling through the bone. Fair on the crown Shameless Wayne caught half the blow as it descended—and the haft, with thick steel at its core, was weighty—and like a log he rolled beside his fallen kinsman." If you tell him he's a good one, And pat him on the back? There are some who think it's praising Not to raise a row and kick. Avoid the chap that's extra slick; But it isn't that that heartens— It hurts and the thought For the deed done and the out Of which the good is wrought.

Last of Ole Bull's Colony. A few days ago Ole Oleoson, the last survivor of the Ole Bull colony at New Bergen and Oleona, Pa., died at the age of 87. His death removes the last representative of that impractical scheme of the hardy Norwegians who in 1840 went into the wilds of Potter county, led by the famous violinist, Ole Bull, and a year later, driven out by starvation, scattered to various parts of the United States. Oleson was one of Bull's closest friends, and when a majority of the colonists accused the violinist of cupidity, Oleson stood up to defend his name. Oleson remained at New Bergen and he and the two old log houses, built by the colonists, for many years have been all that connected the past with the present. On a rock-strewn beach on the Cornish coast the fury of a violent storm was just abating. A vessel had gone to pieces on the rocks, and after display of much heroism on the part of the villagers all the crew and the passengers had been saved, with the exception of one man. He had been washed ashore apparently drowned, and the new curate knelt at his side on the beach endeavoring to restore his circulation. "My friends," he said, turning to the villagers, "how do you usually proceed in these cases?" As one man the simple folk replied: "Search his pockets."—Harper's Weekly. Supply of Natural Gas. Contrary to a growing impression that the supply of natural gas is giving out and is of small importance in the industrial development of the nation, a report of the United States Geological Survey shows that the volume of natural gas produced in 1903 was 238,769,067,000 cubic feet, with a value of $35,815,360. Indiana was the only gas-producing State in which the amount of natural gas decreased during the year. --- 910 15th Street. 919 SCHOOL Chas. F.

No Matter What She Signed, Woman Would Pay When She Liked. "Do you know what you signed?" asked the man, as the woman laid down her pen. "Why, yes," she replied. "I signed a contract to pay for a piano in so many months at the rate of so many dollars per month." "How do you know you did?" asked the man. "You didn't read the contract." "I know that," said the woman. "It wasn't necessary. I haven't time for that. I know what I told them down at the office yesterday." "That is just like a woman," said the man, impatiently. "They clap their names to any kind of a document without reading it over. So careless are they about such things that half the women in the land would sign their own death warrant and not know it." Then the man read slowly through the written agreement. "Here," he said, "is a mistake, first pop. Fortunately you are dealing with a reliable firm that will rectify it. If you were buying from some jay concern that would hold you to your bargain you would have to make your payments on the 12th of every month, instead of on the 1st, as you wish to do." "Oh, that's nothing," said the woman, serenely. "Don't worry about that. I'll pay whenever I get ready, no matter what the contract says." "Oh, excuse me," said the man. "Perhaps that explains why all women think it unnecessary to read whatever papers they sign." Didn't Care to Advertise Wealth. One of the wealthy residents in the Wicker park district is a manufacturer who from a street peddler worked himself up into position and has accumulated money so that his neighbors estimate his wealth at about $500,000. Throughout his career he has never learned to write and his figuring has been upon a system peculiar to himself. A few days ago some of his friends, in the presence of a reporter urged the manufacturer to tell some of his experiences so that an article might be published about him. Pulling out some old tax receipts he said: "It might be nice to get my name in the paper and a writeup which you think might help me socially. If you print, however, that I am worth $500,040 then the board of review will raise my taxes. I have found that people in society pay for what they claim to have more often than for what they actually possess. I'd rather keep my taxes as they are and let no one know just how much I own."—Chicago Chronicle. Cautious Bride. Bride (in railway train)—Now, my dear, you must remember not to act as if we were just married. It would be perfectly horrible to have all these strange people know it. Sit up a little closer. I want to fix your necktie. It's all crooked. There's some dust on your coat. I'll brush it off. How white the stuff is! It must be from that rice. One corner of your mustache points down and the other up. It looks too funny for anything. Wait; I'll fix it. I'm tired to death, dear. Sit up closer, so I can rest my head on—No, that won't do; I must pretend to read a novel, and—I don't know; perhaps you'd better go into the smoking car. All the married men do. Groom—Well, I'll go, my darling, if you think best. Bride—Yes, you must go. Help me off with this glove, dear. You must go and stay real long—ten or fifteen minutes.—New York Weekly. Don't Use Slang. "A lady used the expression 'Gee' the other night," says an exchange. It had never occurred to her that this was taking the name of the Lord in vain, and probably few of many who indulge in sugar-coated profanity realize that they are swearing. What is "Gee" though, but a euphemism for "Jesus?" "Dear me" is nothing but the Latin "Deo Meo" (My God), "For Goodness Sake" is only for "God: Sake." "Drat it" is "God rot it." "Judas Priest" is "Jesus Christ." "Golly." "Gosh," "Glory," etc., are only variations of "Damn it." In short, there is probably not an expression of this sort that cannot be tracked to an oath for its origin. A. Street Scene. The American tourist in London was showing some photographs to his English acquaintances. "This," he said, exhibiting a picture taken during the recent blow-out of the Dramatic Order of Khorassan, "is a street scene on Woodward avenue Detroit, Mich., in the heart of the Rogkies." The Englishman expressed much surprise at the large number of fierce-looking sheiks and sword-carrying brigands in the crowd, but the Ameri can explained that during the last year 85,764 Turkish and Arabian brigands had landed in New York city alone.-Detroit Tribune. Failed to Capture Whales. Excitement was caused recently among the shipping at Port Elizabeth Cape Colony, by the appearance of two large whales, a bull and a cow. Their gambols were watched by a large number of spectators. Several fishing boats and tugs went after them, and one succeeded in getting a harpoon home in the cow. A whaler's crew then had an exciting time, the whale towing the boat about the offing until nearly three o'clock, when it managed to break away. More boats and tugs then joined in the chase, but failed to get within striking distance. SAVED BY A SHARK NELS NELSON'S ENCOUNTER WITH REAL SEA SERPENT. Truthful Sailor Describes Adventure with Ocean Monster—"Eating Tobacco" Disagreed with His Snake-ship—Help Comes in Nick of Time. "You may think that this is a pretty fair-sized sea serpent, but you ought to have seen the one that got away—he was the daddy of them all," said Nels Nelson, one of the sailors in charge of the big consignment of sea specimens received at the aquarium as he slammed a writhing 5-foot spotted moray into the receiving tank in the inner court of the city's famous fisheries exhibit, says the New York World. "You know that the moray family—spotty and green—are the originals of the sea serpent you hear so much about and see so little of," said Mr. Nelson as he inhaled a handful of eating tobacco. "It was three weeks ago, or maybe it was a little over—ye-es, I believe it was a day or so over, to be exact—we were cruising off the coast of Bermuda looking for specimens for the New York aquarium and we were doing pretty well. We'd taken in a lot of butterfly fish and green parrot fish and a croaker—because of the Tammany administration—and a lot of hog fish and grunts. Funny, ain't it, we always find the grunts around the hogfish? "But to return to that sea serpent. We'd been fishing around for some time before we struck on this school of morays—sort of correspondence school, where they could learn seasementing in six easy lessons and then get good jobs as press agents for summer resorts. Of course, these were just little boy sea serpents and could only play the dinky circuits, but they'll grow even in the quarium. "Me and another fellow was rowing around in a small boat when I noticed the fellow who was rowing suddenly dropped his oars and his eyes bulged right out of his head. He was looking at something over my shoulder and I naturally turned my head and looked right into the face of one of these green boys that looked about five times as big as these ordinary ones, and you know they look bad enough. "Of course, that was only the first glance, for on careful second consideration I wouldn't say that he was more than fifteen or eighteen feet long—maybe eighteen—and big in proportion. He was resting his face on the rudder and stern of the dinky and looking me square in the eye, his horns standing up straight and his toothlined mouth opening and shutting like a steam shovel. That was a fine thing to have suddenly flashed into your face and I naturally jumped up, dropping my plug of eating tobacco and knocking over a few lobster pots to get to the other end of the boat. "The serpent leaned himself on the stern and nibbled up that plug of chewing at one gulp, and in about less than a minute he seemed to regret having done it, for he commenced thrashing the water something fierce with his tail—and that must have been at least twenty feet away." "I thought you said it was fifteen?" said the reporter, timidly. "Well, maybe it was. Make it sixteen, anyway. But fierce! "I made a swipe at him with the car and hit him a glancing smear across the sneot, when—would you believe it? —he riz up out of the sea until his head towered above the water about six feet, waving back and forth—just like you see them in pictures—when of a sudden something seemed to trip him up and he slapped face down with a bang on the dinky's stern, and before we could do a thing he had been whisked off the boat into the water. A shark had bit him in two, just in time, and was toting him away to his table d'hote." American Politics in Canada. American Politics in Canada. There are places in western Canada where you may drive for fifty miles without meeting any one except a former American citizen says The World's Work for September. A good story is told of the new minister of the interior of Canada, Frank Oliver, a Liberal. He was stumping Alberta with Patrick Nolan, of Calgary, a Conservative. The rival orators spoke at Ponoka, where nine out of ten of the farmers are Americans. Afterward they went to the village hotel, and mingled with the farmers to overhear comments on their addresses. "Say, Bill," said a man from Missouri, "them fellers wuz right smart speakers wuzn't they?" "Right you are, Cy," answered Bill, "but somehow I can't out mat they was drivin' at. I can't fer the life of me tell whether they wuz fer Bryan or McKinley." How Willie Made Money. Little Willie Jones' mother had been in the habit of giving him spending money every day. One day mother told Willie that he was getting too old and big a boy to be spending money for candy, and if he wanted any more money he would have to earn it himself. But Willie seemed to be more prosperous day after day. One day his mother noticed a lot of children yelling and shrieking in the back yard. Upon investigation she found Willie surrounded by the admiring children and this sign upon the playhouse: "Willie Jones Will Eat "1 small green worm for 1 cent. 1 large green worm for 2 cents. 1 small fuzzy worm for 3 cents. 1 large fuzzy worm for 4 cents. 1 small green toad, 10 cents; 1 large green toad, 25 cents."

Mrs, Ida A. Col- th, who was the victim of the attack, residing at No. 19 Winter street, New- buryport, Mass., says : “Tn June of 1903 1 was taken ill with what at first appeared to be a fever. I sent for a physician who pronounced my disease chronic erysipelas and said it would be a Iong tire before I got well. “Inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were swollen and seemed bulging out of their sockets. Iwas in a terrible plight and suffered the most inteuse pain through- out my body. The doctor eaid my case was a very severe one. Under his treatment, however, the inflamma- tion did not’ diminish’ and the paing which shot through my hody increased inseverity. After being two mouths un- der his care, without any improvement, I dismissed him. “Shortly after this, on the advice of a friend, I began to take Dr. Williams? Pink Pills for Pale People, two at 2 dose three times a day. After the secoud box had been used I was surprised to notice that the inflammation was going down and that the pains which used to cause me s0 much agony had disappeared.

RAILWAY RATES. Advantages Possessed by Americans in Our Low Rates. Compilations made trom foreign and domestic statistics snow a freight rate on English roads of nearly 2 cents per mineral ton-mile. The actual figures are 1.93 cents. A ton-mile of merchan- dise or live stock costs 2.94, and on all commodities an average of 2.32. Against these the figures for the United States are startlingly small, be- ing 0.58 cent. On German roads it is 1.42 cents; on French, 1.55; Austrian, 1.16, and Hungarian, 1.30. England's passenger rates per mile on the same classes as cited for the United States were 4 cents, Germany's 3.8 cents. For their average day's wages workmen can travel as follows: American, 65 miles; British, 35; Ger- man, 53; French, 40; Belgian, 36; Italian, 38 and East Indian, 21, On American roads locomotive engi- neers average $4 a duy; English, $1.62; Belgian, $1.01. American firemen get $2.28; British, 91 cents; Belgian, 72 cents. Railroad laborers in the United States get from two to four times as much as laborers on foreign roads.

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE GOVERNOR McDONALD'S LETTER Colorado Executive Expresses His Views to Colorado Federation of Woman's Clubs. Denver, Sept. 27.—The feature of the morning session of the Colorado Fed- eration of Woman's Club yesterday was the reading of the following letter from Governor McDonald: "Mrs. H. E. Churchill, Woman's Club Building, Denver, Colorado. "Dear Madam—I regret very much my inability to greet the members of the Colorado Federation of Woman's Clubs. I differ very decidedly from the views of even so distinguished a citizen as former President Grover Cleveland, both as to the question of woman's suffrage or equal suffrage. "Organizations of women, formed for the multifarious purposes of benign advancement, as so fittingly exemplified in the work of the Colorado women's association of the day, accomplish undoubtedly much good for the members themselves; and elevate the tone of civil government while they, with equal certainty, achieve noteworthy success in the fields of practical civic improvement and wisely guided philanthropy. "The views of our former President should be considered without bitterness and with due regard to the fact that while his opportunities to secure information first hand have been limited, there may be sufficient worth in at least some of his comments to aid in constant efforts toward improvement. Men's clubs and men's sins of omission and commission in the exercise of the rights of voting are apparently exempt from criticism from the same sources which are only too willing to question the motives and achievements of women. We should all work for the same ends—improvement in the home, in the city and in the state, and the woman can, and in my opinion, does, aid in these lines of effort fully as much as does the man. "The suggestion of our present chief executive that we guard against race suicide is commendable and demands earnest consideration. We all realize the excellence of his judgment on this and other matters. But the child so reared as to be fit for the battles of life is a far more precious gift to society than the child cast ignorant and helpless upon the world. The lot of the latter is being made happier by the constant efforts of many noble men and women, but the woman's club is the ounce of prevention which is worth more than the pound of cure. To the woman's club this country will in the future look, fully as much as to the home, to see that the mother is fit, that the aunt is competent, that the friend is able, to prepare the child to become a useful citizens from choice. "Women's clubs do treble duty. They make better citizens of the women, who, in turn, make it possible for the children to become better citizens. They also make better citizens of the men because the standard of the home is regulated by the standing of its individual members. The woman who spends her life by the fireside amid scenes of undisturbed domesticity performs a noble and a holy duty; but the woman who judiciously avails herself of the modern woman's club in its various branches can, in my opinion, perform these same duties, or equally valuable ones, more intelligently. "Because I feel so clearly that my opinions are right on these matters, I regret the more my unavoidable absence. Sincerely, "JESSE F. McDONALD, "Governor." Big Animas Power Company. Denver, Sept. 27.—For several years the group of Colorado Springs capitalists who have been building electric power plants in old Mexico and throughout the West have been engaged in an extensive work to give the San Juan country cheap power. They have been securing water rights, building canals, reservoirs and power houses. Last Monday articles of incorporation for the company were filed with the secretary of state. It is known as the Animas Power and Water Company and is capitalized at $3,000,000. The incorporators are Leonard E. Curtis and O. B. Willcox, Colorado Springs attorneys, and Henry Hine, the practical construction man of the company. As outlined the powers of the company are to appropriate and own waters in the streams, to sell water, to manufacture power and sell it, to make necessary contracts, build ditches, dams, telephone and telegraph lines, etc. The principal places for storing and gathering of water are minutely located. They include Cascade canal, Animas canal No. 1, Cascade reservoir, Power canal No. 1, Cascade reservoir No. 2, Cascade reservoir No. 3, Animas reservoir, Power canal No. 2, Lime Creek canal and Elk Creek reservoir. The nine directors for the first year are Henry Janeson, S. Z. Mitchell, B. Frank Schmid, John H. Holliday, Leonard E. Curtis, Henry Hine, Irving W. Bonbright, O. B. Willcox and J. Arthur Campbell. Shaw Wants to Be President. Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 27.—Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw will leave the cabinet, February 1, 1906. He makes the definite announcement to-day in a letter to the president of the county Republican club. In his letter, answering a request for a date for an address, Secretary Shaw stated that he would be busy preparing for the coming session of Congress and would be unable to return to Iowa until February 1st, upon which date he expected to retire from the Cabinet. Shaw will then it is said, begin his Shaw will then, If is said, begin his presidential campaign among his Iowa friends. Germans Defeat Natives. Berlin, Sept. 26.—The government to-day received information from German East Africa that attacks by the rebels on Mahenge have been successfully repulsed, that the Morongo rebels lost 350 killed, and that the Grawerth column had arrived at Kilwa after inflicting severe losses on the rebels in six fights. SEASON OF BASE BALL SUCCESS OF WESTERN LEAGUE Des Moines Wins Pennant—Denver in Second Place—Pueblo Did Good Denver, Sept. 26.—The Denver News yesterday sums up the baseball season of the Western league as follows: The Western league season of 1905 closed yesterday. Des Moines won the pennant. From the flagpole in the park there the prize flag will float until the season of 1906 has been played. Denver finished a close second, Omaha third, Sloux City fourth, Pueblo fifth and St. Joseph last. Had the season lasted a week longer the Grizzlies would probably have captured the pennant. It was a successful year throughout the circuit, save in St. Joseph. Before Colorado Springs dropped out of the league the team was losing money. It was transferred to Pueblo, and the credit side of the ledger there will likely show a fair earning for the short time the team played under the new management. Denver was the banner city of the entire circuit in attendance and earnings, as it has always been. During the season nearly 100,000 paid admissions were registered, as against nearly the same number for the season of 1904. R. R. Burke, owner of the local team, figured up his receipts casually last night and placed the gross figures at about $60,000. He was unable to say just what the net would be, but he thought it would top any of the other teams by probably double. From players alone he will receive $7,500. Five of them were sold to the St. Louis Nationals and Americans. However, the money for them will not be forthcoming until next June. The players sold were Hartzell Hoelskoetter, Perrine, Hickman and Sharp. Three of them were drafted and the other two sold outright. It is safe to say that the wad of the Denver owner of the Grizzlies will be fattened by approximately $20,000 as a result of the year's business. Advices show that all the eastern teams save St. Joseph made money on the season. Des Moines had the largest attendance, barring Denver, with Sloux City a few hundred behind and Omaha next. Sloux City netted over $6,000 from gate receipts and privileges, paying for the downtown park built last spring, and $2,000 was realized from the sale of players. Des Moines will probably net $8,000 from gate receipts. The team is said to have received $11,800 from the sale of players alone. Rourke, at Omaha, is said to have cleared between $7,000 and $8,000 from attendance and players. Sloux City is said to have had the highest paid team in the league. Seven men received from $200 to $250 a month. MIDDLE PARK OIL STRIKES. Oil Founti at Depth of sixty Feet Near Granby. Denver, Sept. 26.—Residents in the neighborhood of Granby, on the Moffat road, are greatly excited over the discovery of oil in that town. The flow of oil was struck by the Frontier Investment Company, which was drilling for artesian water, and had only sunk about sixty feet. Two barrels of oil gushed forth in a short time yesterday. Granby is a new town lying about ten miles this side of Hot Sulphur Springs, lying in Middle park. There are about twenty houses there, and it is at this point that the stage lines branch off for North park and Grand lake. The state has just completed a new wagon road from Granby to North park. Numerous telegrams were received by officials of the road here yesterday telling of the oil strike. At first blue oil shale was turned up, but later quite a little flow of oil followed. Reports are still meager, however, and do not indicate whether the strike will prove extensive or not. The find resulted in a tremendous amount of excitement as the news spread, and yesterday at the Denver Land Office, about 5,000 acres of land were filed on. Claims are being staked out all along up Willow creek, the Middle Park valley at Granby being a mile wide. The nature of the country and its formation is said to be very favorable for oil. The discovery of pure silica was also made in digging the Granby well, the assay showing ninety-seven per cent. This is used, in pottery work and for making vitrified brick. Denver Gambling Houses Closed. Denver, Sept. 26.—Anticipating orders which were issued simultaneously by Judge Frank T. Johnson and Judge Booth M. Malone yesterday morning, Denver gamblers failed to open their various places of business. Faro banks and roulette wheels have been closed in every gambling house in the city. This is not true of the policy games however. The orders issued by the two district judges were delivered to Sheriff Nisbet of the county of Denver and Chief of Police Delaney yesterday, and they were given to Deputy Sheriff Leonard De Lue to serve. He went about the city and returning stated that he had visited every gambling house in the city and had found everything closed. He stated that the managers of the various houses had assured him that they would make no attempt to conduct gambling games of any kind. Cuban Government Wins. Havana, Sept. 26.—Complete returns from the entire island, which have been delayed owing to the bad condition of the telegraph service, show that in the election last Saturday for members of the election boards, the supporters of the government were victorious in every province, not having lost one important place. The victory was so complete that it is now admitted to mean the re-election in December of President Palma and the election of the vice presidential candidate, Mendez Capote, the leader of the Moderate party. ONE HUNDRED YEARS ONE HUNDRED YEARS RULES FOR LIVING TO THAT AGE Moderation. Good Nature. Plenty of Live to be a hundred years old. It's easy if you know how, and a London specialist tells you how. Here is his recipe. The Herald publishes it free so that if anybody dies before he has reached the allotted age he can't blame us: "Be moderate. "Do not worry. "Take plenty of sleep. "Take plenty of exercise. "Eat plenty of sugar, rice, peas fruit, potatoes, bread and milk. "Eat sparingly of fish and meat. "Almost any person possessing healthy constitution could live to be a hundred," says this same specialist. Sir James Crichton-Bowne in a paper lately read before the public health congress in London declared that "it is a good working hypothesis to regard the natural life of man as 100 years." These eminent authorities thus remove all excuse for death at the early age of eighty or ninety. The patriarch who has attained his "three score and ten" is but a blooming youth, with at least thirty years of hard hustle still before him. He who at that proverbially ripe age thinks he has finished his life job and contentedly lies down to pleasant death is a miserable "quitter." But these eminent specialists, who talk so learnedly, are, after all, only theorists. Neither of them has yet attained 100 years himself or anywhere near it. Perhaps long before they reach the century mark that now looks so easy to them their error will be buried with them. For more thousands of years than can be accurately computed men have made it their chief concern to live just as long as they can. Precious few, in modern times, at least, have succeeded in passing 100 years. So the secret cannot be as simple as it is made to seem. "Among the negro race," says the London specialist who has laid down the list of rules, "centenarians are extremely numerous and it is merely because they unconsciously follow these rules. They sleep so much, for instance, that a negro centenarian spends only fifty or sixty years out of his 100 awake, while a white man would be awake for seventy-five years of the time." But the specialist fails to give any rules by which a white man may change himself into a negro. Nor is there any argument given to combat the natural feeling that one might as well be dead as asleep. Maybe each individual is good for just so much wear and tear. And really it doesn't matter so much how long we live as how well we live.—Herald Democrat. Six Doctors Failed. South Bend, Ind., Sept. 25th (Special)—After suffering from Kidney Disease for three years; after taking treatment from six different doctors without getting relief, Mr. J. O. Laudeman of this place found not only relief but a speedy and complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Speaking of his cure Mr. Laudeman says: "Yes, I suffered from Kidney Trouble for three years and tried six doctors to no good. Then I took just two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they not only cured my kidneys, but gave me better health in general. Of course I recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to others and I know a number now who are using them with good results." Mr. Laudeman's case is not an exception. Thousands give similar experiences. For there never yet was a case of Kidney Trouble from Backache to Bright's Disease that Dodd's Kidney Pills could not cure. They are the only remedy that ever cured Bright's Disease. "Excuse me, sir," said the barber, "but I have a tonic that will positively grow hair on that bald head of yours." "Don't want any of it," replied the victim in the chair. "Being a married man, I prefer to remain bald." A Quotation from Wanamaker. It is a great, grand work that is being done by the business colleges of the land, and I am here as a business man to say that and more; that they deserve at the hands of all men strong encouragement for their patience, their wisdom, their practical work.—John Wanamaker. Wanamaker has built up in the last thirty years the largest business of its kind in the world. Surely the endorsement of such a man is worthy of careful consideration.

I had eye trouble, backache, catches when lying abed or when bending over, was languid and often dizzy and had sick headaches and bearing-down pains.

RESTORED HIS HAIR Scalp Humor Cured by Cuticura Soap and Ointment—After All Else Had Failed. "I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. After unsuccessful efforts with many remedies and so-called hair tonics, a friend induced me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in a short time, my hair was estored as healthy as ever, and I can gladly say I have since been entirely free from any further annoyance. I shall always use Cuticura Soap, and I keep the Ointment on hand to use as a dressing for the hair and scalp. (Signed) Fredk'Busche, 213 East 57th St., New York City."

Commenting on attacks made by certain eastern publications on some of the best known and most valuable of the world's proprietary medicines, the Committee on Legislation of the Proprietary Association says: "All through the country districts, in every state of the union, you will find in the farm houses the old family remedies, sometimes called 'patent medicines,' many of which have been in use in the same household for generations. Among such people the old-fashioned proprietary medicine, always at hand with full printed instructions for use, is one of the necessities of life. "To families in the country many miles from a doctor such remedies are invaluable. 'Mother's medicine chest' has saved many a life and met many a threatening sickness at the threshold and turned it out of doors. So far from constituting self-prescription, as is often pretended, acquaintance with a 'patent medicine' often obviates the necessity of such a step; for here is a prescription already made up, the effect of which is well known. One of the greatest advantages of such medicine is that its constant formula gives it the character of a single drug, so far as uniformity of result is concerned, and the people who use it know from experience just what they can count on—which is more than can be said of many physicians' prescriptions frequently obtained at a far greater cost and trouble."

If Etons are becoming to you, and you can wear the loose fronts, you can select a very pretty coat in the little Eton cut in circular shape, loose from the neck and finished prettily. One of the nearest Etons of the year was made in pale gray cloth, sung fitting in the back but loose and straight in the front. It was cut off just below the bust line, and was finished in round points which fell very gracefully over the bust line. Underneath there could be worn a handsome shirtwaist of any description—lawn silk or lace. Those who want to start off the fall with a pretty Eton suit of glossy cloth can select a handsome shade of plum tree and cut the suit out in the skirt and Eton shape. The skirt is tucked full length or plaited, with the tucks or the plaitings flat around the hips, where they are stitched so as to keep them down. Waist Embroideries. Crepe de chine naturally suggests Chinese embroideries, and there are some really exquisite examples of this work shown in waists that are supposed to be suitable for almost any wear. One in white shows a flight of cranes all across the front, the whole thing worked in white on the white greend, the blouse fastening in the back so that the fronts are left whole and unbroken for the display of the exquisite needlework. Another in a dull blue one-seam crepe de chine has a dado of flag illies in the natural tones of purple and green rush leaves, the combination of soft blues and purples being extremely good, while a similar one in pale green is decorated with water illies. Since all of this DARK GREEN MOIRÉ VEL- VET HAT DRAPED WITH GREEN AND VIOLET BIRD OF PARADISE WINGS American milliners declare that the hats for the fall and winter which will find favor in Fashion's eye are to be small and turned up with that peculiar tilt which appeared in the spring and to which many American women have as yet refused to submit. And yet here are the very latest things from Paris in the way of models and photographs of the new millinery. They show a large proportion of rather big picture hats. It is true they are not the old picture hats, with the old, ever becoming graceful, flowing lines which every woman could wear and which sat well on every style of hairdressing. The new hats, even large and stately in effect, have a smart trig, stiff air that distinctly demonstrates their relationship to the small perky little hats, which, like those of the last spring, sit well up and well forward on the head. work is executed by hand one can guess that the price demanded runs close up to three figures for the finished blouse. Morning Blouse. Here is a morning blouse, which can be made of quite simple stuff, such as cotton, print or zephyr. One of the 1 prettiest materials is a dark blue print spotted with white; or even a black material of the same kind showing a white spot in various sizes. Such a joeice is suitable for any wearer, and five yards of less will be sufficient for making it. The plain shoulder piece and plastron or pleat down the center of the front must be made without adornment; but, if desired, an edging of fancy braid or lace may be added just as an outline, continuing the suggestion round the collar band and even round the frills of the full sleeves. Below this plain piece, the fulness of the fronts and back is closely gathered; while the sleeves are fairly short and finished with a frill; but, if any of you fancy so short a sleeve too noticeable or too cool, you will find a little under sleeve added to the pattern, which may be worn or dispensed with at will. Broadcloth a Fall Style. Broadcloth as ever will be one of the headliners for fall gowns. For fine suits and costumes it can't be beaten for beauty, style and elegance. Both it and the cloths with less lusstances, trimmed with braid and with silk strappings. Good Effects in Velvet. A daring but chic use of black velvet was one of the striking features of a particularly lovely gown in the lightest and most supple cloth of a soft banana yellow tone. Save for the velvet straps on the gracefully draped bodice and on the short puffed sleeve and the lace guipme, the gown was all in one tone, a cloth collar, cloth sleeve fall and the skirt bottom up to a point well above the knees being heavily and boldly embroidered in chenille matching the cloth. Upon all the banana, apricot, sulphur and canary yellows, black velvet is especially effective. Rose velvet also is liked upon the pale yellows of the maize or straw tints, this color combination being one of the Louis XVI fancies. Novelties in White Serge. In white serge frocks the makers have introduced many novelties in cut and line. The empire ideas that have taken so firm a holt lately appear here, as elsewhere, and empire coats, long or short, are made up in white serge or white cloth, with skirts to match and with severe tailor finish or PEEN DJSE OLD GOLD VELVET HAT, POMP-ADOUR RIBBONS ON GOLD GROUND, BLACK AND BLUE FEATHER AND BLUE AIGRETTE The new hats, whether large or small, will be set on the head at such an angle as to require the most elaborate hairdressing. No careless, flowing locks should be in evidence under their stiff, piquantly curved brims. Neither will a Quaker primness be in order. The locks of the fashionable damsel will have to be always in the pink of perfection, with not a hair out of place, while at the same time an immense amount of curls, waves and complicated plaits will be necessary to make the hats becoming and to fill out the hollows made by the odd tilt at which they will be worn. with collars and cuffs and motifs of heavy openwork embroidery on linen. White fiber braid or soutache trim some of the white serge and cloth models and are often used with excellent results, though the most stylish tailors are using braid less than they did earlier in the season, and the soutache when it is used is more likely to be set on in fine vertical lines rather than in the scroll designs. To Remove Stains. Peach and plum stains are among the most difficult spots because they show so little before wetting. Then they turn dark. They may be removed by means of the old-fashioned grass bleaching. All spots come out of white table linen if it is put upon the grass when fruit trees are in bloom. It is not tradition or fancy that they disappear. Some very bad spots may be removed easily by wetting and putting upon thawing snow in the bright sunshine. This, too, gives a whiteness unrivaled. Hanging Clothes. When hanging out clothes to dry, stockings should be hung up from the toes, while flannels must be hung out at once and be well shaken before hanging them. Night dresses, etc., shoulders. Do not drag any garment when pinning; allow it to hang easily. Delicious Mutton Cutlets. Take two cutlets out of the middle of a large leg of mutton (Southdown is the best); put them into an omelet pan with sufficient butter to keep the meat from sticking to the pan; into a deep dish put a piece of butter the size of an egg; pour over it a cup of boiling water; when one side of the meat is cooked, baste it in the water and butter; then cook the other ```markdown ``` side in the same manner; when both sides have been cooked and basted season the remainder of the gravy in the bowl with pepper, salt and a little chopped parsley and a little onion, if preferred; then pour this over the meat and allow to simmer gently until ready to serve.

Among the walking suits mixed materials are coming in again and particularly in the less expensive goods, as homespun—an excellent cloth for hard usage—mixed grays, blues and browns are fashionable. Brown will be fashionable this year, but not so much so as last winter and autumn. Red, too, will not be so widely seen, although it is far too attractive and be a shade to disappear altogether. Dark grays, particularly among the autumn models, are already assured of popularity, while, of GREELN VELVET TOQUE GALLOON of SKY BLUE AND CHENILLE CLACE SILK; FANCY FEATHER AND BLUE AGRETTTE cel wave promises to grow in popularity under the new infliction of fantastic headgears and the demand for artificial hair will also extend to all women who make an effort to keep up with the fashions.—New York Herald. course, blue in any shade will prove a safe investment, for it is a color never frowned upon by Dame Fashion. The button proposition comes in for its full share of attention. Four or six big buttons trim the front of nearly every redingote, and here the woman of means finds ample use for her money. Buttons come at any price and they even come in the real jewels. But for the ordinary person of average pocketbook, the mock gems are just as good and fully expensive enough. Buttons at about $1 each will trim the front of a double-breasted taffeta redingote very nicely and, as it takes only four, one can afford the outlay particularly as the buttons are good year after year forever. Lisle thread stockings should be washed in tepid water tinted with a little blue and soap should be used only for the feet. Rinse the clear water, allowing a piece of ammonia the size of a bean to every gallon of water. Dry quickly in fresh air, but not in the sun. If this is impossible roll up tightly and wring in a clean cloth, letting a fold of the cloth come between each fold of the stocking. Have the inside of the oven kept scrupulously clean. Wash the entire inside of the oven (not forgetting the roof) at least once a week. Remove the shelves and door before commencing operations and scrape off any burnt substance with an old knife. Let the oven be kept open until quite dry and all smell of soap has passed off. A spoke brush kept for the pose is very useful. As to Buttons. To Wash Stockings. Overhauling an Oven.

Denver, Colo NEVER HEARD OF BEN BUTLER. Incident of the Rebellion Recalled by Police-Court Case. If it had not been for history relating the silverware incident of a certain federal general in New Orleans during the occupation by union troops one of Tartown's most prominent citizens would not now be doing time on the chain gang, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat. As it is, Ben Butler is suffering partly because of the odium attached to his name and partly because he followed the well-known example of that military martinet and drank deep of the rosy wine—slightly mixed with "coke." "What do you think you've got to say for yourself, Benjamin Butler?" said Recorder Marmouget. "Are you the Ben Butler who took those spoons?" "Lordy, boss, dey ain' bringin' up dat ole matter, is dey?" exclaimed Ben with a startled look. "I done mer time fer dat too long ergo ter talk erobut, jedge. I onderstand'in i ben charge wid bein' drunk, wich I wuz, boss, but dem spoons am er nudder matter." "So you did steal spoons, eh?" exclaimed his honor. "You followed the precepts of your distinguished namesake and swiped the silverware. This is where history repeats itself." "Yasser, I did stole dem spoons, jedge, dat were fo' yeah ergo, but I doan kno' nuttin' 't all 'bout dat yuther Ben Butler. Dat mus'er ben some yuther case, jedge." "Yes, I expect it was, Ben," replied his honor, "but that does not dispose of the drunk case, and I'll give you ten days in the workhouse. That will afford you time in which to read up history and become posted on the only and original spoon thief whose name you bear. Take him out." "This," said the jeweler, "is what happened here last month. "Mr. B. drove up in his hansom and entered my shop, accompanied by his valet, who carried an oblong box of steel. Mr. B. asked for a private interview and I took him into my office. There he opened the box, exposing a splendid array of diamond and pearl necklaces, earrings, tiaras and stomachers. "Mrs. B.," he said, 'is now abroad. Before she returns I want you to extract all these stones and to replace them with good imitations, selling the real jewels and giving me the money. This, of course, is to be a confidential transaction. Mrs. B. is to know nothing of it." "I looked at Mr. B. I think I blushed a little. "My dear sir,' I said, 'I should be glad to do what you ask, but it is impossible. Two years ago Mrs. B. called here on the same errand that now brings you, and this errand, in her case, was successful. The paste jewels that you offer me are worth little more than the hire of the harsom awaiting you outside.'" One About Ducks. Here seems to be a nice, cool stream for one of Frank N. Busch's duck yarns. Mr. Busch was up in the Fox river country, staying at a farmer's house. One morning the farmer held up two live ducks in his hands and exclaimed: "Ain't they fine canvas backs? Gee, but I had to pay for 'em, too—cost $4 apiece. But they are raisers. Now year from these I'll have ducks enough to stock a marsh." "Canvas backs, your grandfather," replied Mr. Busch. "They are blue mud hens, both of them." "No, no. I know the man that raised 'em; sold him the corn that he fed to them—I know." The dispute grew thick and furious. Mr. Busch happened to have an illustrated book on ornithology in his trunk. He brought it out and showed the farmer the difference in looks. The man of the hoe and the ducks shook his head ruefully for a moment. Suddenly his face brightened. He said: "Your book sho' looks like I done been cheated; but, may be, they done issued a later edition." Elephants Destroy Telegraph Line. Elephants have lately destroyed a portion of the transcontinental telegraph line at a point eighty-five miles north of Bismarcksburg, in German East Africa, consequently communication is temporarily interrupted with Udjdjj, northern Tanganyika. The telegraph line traverses a country teeming with large game, which is a source of immense annoyance to those engaged in maintaining through service with the eastern shores of Tanganyika and the regions beyond. There has been an invasion of elephants into that portion of northeastern Rhodesia adjacent to Lake Bangewelo. These animals have devastated native crops and frequently enter the settlement, when they destroy large quantities of grain that the natives have stored for their use during the dry season. Napoleon Expressed His Surprise. Napoleon Gaudette, a French-Canadian, who was for many years an operative in one of the cotton mills in the south part of Grafton, Mass., returned there for a few days' visit. He showed great interest at the various changes that had occurred in the village, and when told that this family had gone back to Canada and that one had moved to Fall River, and that John Thibideau was married, etc., etc., to each he made the same comment, uttered in a slow, surprised way: "Is犬 so? Don't use be so." Where's ole Mis Planchette?" he asked. "Mrs. Planchette? Oh, she died a year ago," was the reply.
