Rule of Africa The Outlook on the Dark Continent is Not Encouraging. "Africa for Africans" is the Cry Which is Spreading Among the Blacks in Natal and other Adjacent parts of Africa. Whites Alarmed over rapid Progress of Blacks. VOL. XII. Rule of The Outlook on the Dark C “Africa for Africans” is the ing Among the Blacks jacent parts of Afri over rapid Prog Information from South Africa to the missionary people here shows many discouraging features from the administrative point of view. But on the other hand, the trouble give the most positive assurance of the rapid advance of the black people in manhood and independence, a phase of the situation which does not seem to impress those who are troubled by the outlook. "Africa if for the Africaus," is the cry which is spreading among the blacks in Natal and other adjacent parts of Africa, until it has become a sort of blind fanaticism, and is making trouble both for the British administration, which is sitting on the safety valve, and for the missionaries, who are left in the shade by the advancing ideas of the blacks, just as they were left in the shade by the rising spirit of the Japanese independence until a certain stage had been passed, when former pleasant relations were gradually resumed. It is actually said of these preposterous blacks in Natal that they have got beyond the stage where they are content to wear simply a breechcloth, but they want to be clothed after the custom of the Europeans, even if their finery be nothing more than an old ball dress. The converted blacks, who are a testimony to the efficiency of the American board of missionaries, to say nothing of their own good character and susceptibility to higher impulses, actually support all of their churches and schools. The white missionaries serve as general superintendents of moral and religious progress and guide the work, but in these particular cases the blacks pay their educational and religious expenses. They feel their dignity. Formerly they were content to be called by their first names when addressed by the whites, and John and Fannie were satisfied. It was good enough for them. But this demoralizing "Ethiopianism," as as it is called by the alarmed whites, has now reached the point where first names are too familiar and undignified. The blacks now insist that they must be called "Mr.." "Mrs.." and "Miss," and the whites, judging by evidences here, are perplexed to judge where this tendency will lead. --- State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colc SAVED BY PATRON RACE CORADO THE JOURNAL Africa Continent is Not Encouraging. The Cry Which is Spread- in Natal and other Ad- ca. Whites Alarmed ress of Blacks. The missionaries find that the opposition of the government interferes greatly with the mission work, because, even though the blacks are supporting their own churches and schools, they must not be allowed to hold even religious meetings by themselves, for fear this growing independence might fan the fanatical flame of Ethiopianism. In some of the cities the blacks are restricted to a certain quarter by lay and not allowed to live in other parts. Another thing which the British government has done to hold the blacks in check is to levy a hut tax upon each hut at $15 a year. This is resented by the Zulus. It is an enormously heavy tax. More than this, in order to earn money enough to pay it, the owner must leave his home and go to the cities to get work. Plenty of work is to be had, and the white people want it enough to pay well for it, but the blacks do not like to work more than is necessary, and this hut tax is one of the devices of the government to get workers to come into the cities and to help solve the labor problem, which is very serious in spite of the abundance. This tax is a source of dissatisfaction among the blacks. It is said that the race problem in South Africa makes ours here seem to be nothing in comparison. There is a growing feeling on the part of the blacks that they do not want the white people to come in and drive them out of their own country. The proportion of blacks to whites in that part of Africa is 12 to 1, and the whites are looking forward to the future with apprehension. It is not said that the blacks show yet any tendency to rise against the whites, but they are showing more the demand to be treated on an equality and show more the spirit of manhood and of independence. The situation is very disquieting, and in spite of all that religion and law can do for the elevation of the blacks, there is apprehension that a terrible struggle for race supremacy is coming.—The Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The Negro Bank in Mound Bayou, Miss., during the cotton season in one month reached a total clearing of over $190,000. This bank is entirely under Negro control. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1906. KICK ON COLORED SCHOOL Nashville, Tenn.. Dec. 17.—Rev Mother Catherine Drexel, the several times millionaire daughter of the late Anthony Drexel of Philadelphia, has aroused the indignation of residents of South Nashville by establishing an industrial school for Negro girls in the heart of the most aristocratic resident section of the city, Mother Drexel purchased the old residence of Sam J. Keith, the wealthiest citizen of Nashville. She then converted it into a Negro school over the protest of the former owner and almost every citizen of that section of the city. The residence occupies 'a beautiful elevation of a double block, and was bought through an attorney for $50,000. Mr. Keith, the former owner, offered Mother Drexel 250,000 dollars to return the property, but she refused. He pleaded that the old residence had been his home for 40 years and that all his children had been born and reared there and he had much rather give the property for same other use than to sell it as convent for Negroes. Finding that persuasion would accomplish nothing, legal mothods were resorted to. Injunction was sought on the ground that a Negro school would be a nuisance, but this failed. Then came talk of violence and guards patroled the grounds to prevent the enraged persons from setting fire to the building or doing other threatened damages. In spite of all efforts Mother Drexel opened her school last week with an attendance of over fifty students. It is the first school of this kind in the South. Mother Drexel inherited about 10,000,000 dollars from her father, Anthony Drexel the banker, She expects to expend 150,000 dollars for new buildings and equipment next year. Housework is the most strongly course, but the general idea is to educate the girls for profitable occupations as well as general education and moral training. Expert instructor in sewing, cooking, nursing and general housework have been secured. Those opposing the location of the school have offered to buy property in the suburbs and donate it to Mother Drexel, if she would use the Keith property for other purposes. WHY EDITORS GET RICH. After a good deal of study and work we have at last figured out why so many country editors get rich. Here is the secret of success. A child is born in the neighborhood, the attending physician gets 10; the editor gives the load-lung- ed youngster and the happy parents a send off and gets 0. It is christened; the minister gets 10 and the editor gets 00. It grows up and marries; the editor publishes another long-winded, flowery article and tells a dozen lies about the "accomplished and beautiful bride;" the minister gets 10 and a piece of cake and the editor gets 000. In the course of time time it dies; the doctor gets 100, the minister 25, the editor gets 0000. The editor publishes a notice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge society resolutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, and gets 0000. No wonder so many country editors get rich quick.—Ex. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Wheeling, W. Na., Dec. 26. In a fit of jealousy today Ashby Willis, colored crushed the skull of his wife with an axe. Later when an attempt was made to arrest him, he cut his throat with a razor. Mrs. Lottie Davis colored died at Waelder, Texas Sunday 16th inst at the age of 107 years. Her husband James Davis, 115 years old, survives her. The couple had lived together as husband and wife for 90 years. Isaac Evans retired from the United States Navy as cook on November 21. Mr. Evans has served the government as U. S.

New York, Dec 20.—A Pullman car porters' union, which is intended to include every Negro railroad employee in this service in the United States, has been organized by the porters, cafe and dinning-car men running into New York City on the various lines. Articles of incorporation will shortly be filed. The union is known as the American Association of Railway Employes and Negroes only are eligible for membership. A large bank building will be constructed in the near future by the Negro business men of Richmond, Va. The building is to cost several thousand dollars and will be put up by the board of directors of the Nickel Saving Bank. The Nickel Saving Bank has already purchased several thousand dollars worth of old buildings, which will be torn down in order to afford room for the new building. "If Andrew Foster had not been born with a dark skin," says the Philadelphia Daily Telegraph, "the great pitcher would wear an American or National League uniform. Rube Waddel, Cy Young, Matthewson, McGinnity, and other are great twirlers in the big leagues, and their praises have been sung from Maine to Texas. Foster has never been equalled in a pitcher's box. Out of 49 games pitched this season he has won 45. Aside from his twirling ability, he is a heavy hitter and a fine fielder and ranks among the foremost of the country." John Hill, a colored driver of Atlanta, Ga., risk his own life by throwing himself in front of a maddened team of horses and thus saving the occupants. The speed of the horses was such that Mr Hill was dragged 300 feet before he brought them to a stop. Had he failed in his effort to grasp the bits or had his hold weakened he would have been instantly hurled to death. A number of prominent Atlanta men, among them Terrell and the Mayor of the city, are requesting the Carnegie Hero Fund of New York to present him with a medal for his heroism. Boston, Dec. 26.—Public bequests amounting to $450,000 are provided in the will of Mrs. Helen G. Coburn, of the Black Bay section of this city, which was filed in the Suffolk County Probate Court Officer today. Mrs. Coburn was the widow of George Coburn and maintained a summer home at Andover.

Mrs. Coburn's public bequests include the following: Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Alabama, $25,000; Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., $25,000; Oberlin College, Oberlin, O., $10,000. Other bequests are made to Eastern institutions. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 1.—Thousands of Negroes paraded here today in honor of the signing of the encampation proclamation. The parade was marked by the greatest disorder. Capt. J. C. McBride, a former officer in the United States army, and now in newspaper business in Georgia attempted to cross the line and was set upon and badly beaten. A street car conductor who endeavored to run his car through the line, which extended about 12 blocks, also was painfully hurt and forced to leave his car. A photographer who attempted to take a picture of the parade was run from his post by the Negroes, who objected to the taken of the picture. This was the first time in a quarter of a century that Negroes have paraded on the day without a military es NO. 15. cort, the Negro multia companies having been disarmed by the legislature at its last session. Palmyra, Va., Dec. 16.—Emily Scott, an old Negro woman in this town, is at present the center of general interest. The fact that over night, so to speak, she has become a millionaire, after having been a poor and lowly working woman all her life, has made her an eight days wonder and has given to her prominence which she seems to enjoy immensely. Emily Scott, who has lived here for years, has a son. Thomas who is of mature age and making a living by doing odd jobs. Recently John Bowles Flanagan an old Negro, and the father of Emily Scott died in the West, having just come into possession of property in Omaha Nebraska, valued at $1,000,000 after a long drawn-out litigation in the Nebraska courts. He was 114 years old at the time of his death and did not live long enough to enjoy the wealth which fortune had suddenly thrown into his lap. The property involved consists of several city blocks in the heart of Omaha and was given to Flanagan by an adventureress for whom he had worked several years without compensation. Omaha at that time was a village of fourteen houses. VARDAMANISM Jackson, Miss., Jan. 2.—Gov. James K. Vardaman in his annual message to the Mississippi legislation, which assembled to-day, again took a strong hand against spending public money for the education of the Negro, saying in part: "As a race the Negro is deteriorating morally every day. Time has demonstrated that he is more criminality with fearful rapidity, being one-third more criminal in 1890 than he was in 1880. "In the South, Mississippi particularly, I know he is growing worse every year. You can scarcely pick up a newspaper whose pages are not blackened with an account of an unmentionable crime committed by a Negro brute, and this crime, I want to impress upon you, is but the manifestation of the Negro's aspiration for social equality, encouraged largely by the character of free education in vogue, which the state is levying tribute upon the white people to maintain. "It is your function to put a stop to the worse than wasting of $50,000 annually—money taken from the toiling white men and women of Mississippi—and devoted to the main purpose of trying to make something of the Negro which the Great Architect of the univese failed to provide for in the original plan of creation." rz eo © Te a PUDLILRZ OS. 622 JSTREET OPPOITE POST OMEEE) SEEELEPEOPEAEE EET EEEEEEED The Holidays Are here SPEEEEEEEEE EEE EEEETEEETED A PLACE TO BUY Gloves <p Combs - Umbrellas .

Eight Thousand Acres of Sugar Gects Pledged for. Next Yaar, | Denver.—A Republican special from La Junta says: Swink station, half way between La Junta and locky Ford, will have a 1,000-ton beet sugar factory in 1906. It will be ready to grind beets and make sugar next fall. The | Holly) Construction | Ggupany, which will build it, through man- ager, W. N. Wiley, has pledges from the farmers of $,000 acres of sugar beets, most of which have been con tracted. Monday an enthusiastic meeting of about 200 people zathered at the Men- onite church, at Holbrook Center, eight miles north of La Junta, and IMstened to a proposition made ‘by the Holly Construction Company through Mr, Wiley and Attorney Plait Rogers of Denver, who guaranteed to build a rail- road eighty-five miles long, from Holly to Swink station, which would be on the north side of the Arkansas river ‘and would traverse the Holbrook eoun- try for fifteen miles throush the cen- ter of the valley, which is one of the finest agricultural sections im the state. Farmers of this valley must pledge themselves to raise 2,500 acres of sugar beets for the factory, and the company guarantees to have the road ready for operation next fall, The road will do a general railway business also. The American Beet Sugar Company, through Mr. Weitzer, agreed to build a road from Rocky Ford into the Hol- ‘brook country if the farmers would raise 2,500 acres of beets for the edm- pany. ‘The Holbrook farmers rejected this proposition ang accepted the Holly proposition, This will add ma- terlally to the sugar beet interests of the county, and will place the county at the head of the list as a sugar pro- ducing section. Mr. Wiley stated that his company had plenty of funds and that the work would be done as fast as men and money could do it. Mr. Yerkes’ Large Bequests. New York.—In his will, read by Clarence A.

Wealth Rapidly Passing Into the Hands of a Few Men. Arraigning corporations and trusts as the greatest menace of the present time to American institutions, Representative Sulzer discussed the problem of "who shall rule America," at the Baptist Church of the Epiphany in New York City. In part he said: "The total population of the United States is about 80,000,000. The total aggregate wealth is about $65,000,000,000, and it appears that out of that population less than 65,000 persons own more than one-half the aggregate wealth of the land. And this has all been brought about in the last twenty-five years by combination and conspiracies called trusts, fostered by special legislation and nurtured by political favoritism. If these conditions obtain in the next century, I predict that less than 5,000 persons will control more than three-quarters of the wealth of this country. "Twenty years ago John D. Rockefeller was worth only a few hundred thousands of dollars. To-day his wealth cannot be estimated under a billion.

Why, he could not sit in a poker game with John D." Just Wonderful. Vestry, Miss., Jan. 1st (Special)—The case of Mrs. C. W. Pearson, who resides here is a particularly interesting one. Here is the story told by Mr. Pearson, her husband, in his own words. He says:—"My wife's health was bad for a long time. Last July she was taken terrible bad with spasms. I sent for the doctor, and after making a thorough examination of her, he said undoubtedly the cause of her trouble was a disordered state of the kidneys. His medicine didn't seem to be doing her much good, so as I heard about Dodd's Kidney Pills, I got her a box just to give them a trial. Well the effect was just wonderful. I saw that they were the right medicine and I got two more boxes. When she had taken these she was so much better that she had increased thirty pounds in weight. She is now quite well, and we owe it all to Dodd's Kidney Pills." Mrs. Chugwater—Josiah, I want to do something to encourage the hens to lay. Oughtn't we to take a poultry journal of some kind?

Mouth and Eyes Covered With Crusts —Hands Pinned Down—Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. "When my little boy was six months old, he had eczema. The sores extended so quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters became so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks large enough to put a finger into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as a finger, and whenever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate, as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down; otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. I think his face must have itched most fearfully. "We finally thought nothing could help, and I had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, otherwise he was to be put under good medical care there. But, Lord be blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided improvement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.

ALL MODERN APPLIANCES Chicago Record-Herald Correspondent Has Orders to Go Ahead With the Scheme—To Start Next Summer From Spitzbergen. Chicago—"Build an airship, go find the north pole and report by wireless telegraphy and submarine cables the progress of your efforts." This was the startling assignment given a few days ago to Walter Wellman, the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record-Herald, by Frank B. Noyes, editor-in-chief of the paper, and the commission has been accepted by Mr. Wellman. As an assistant on this daring expedition Mr. Wellman will have the services of Alberto Santos-Dumont of Paris, who will have charge of the construction of the airship and will act as aeronautic director and pilot for the ship on its voyage toward the north pole. The airship, the order for which has been given, will be built by Louis Godard of Paris under the supervision of M. Santos-Dumont, and will be completed by the end of next April. No definite date has been decided upon when the explorers will start on their journey, but it is expected that everything will be in readiness to get away next July or early August. After completion the airship will have several trials in or about Paris, and in June all the paraphernalia will be assembled in Spitzerbergen, where the explorers will await a favorable opportunity for the dash for the pole, which, according to Mr. Wellman, should the expedition meet with a good run of luck, should be reached in less than a week. In announcing his acceptance tonight of the proposed expedition, Mr. Wellman said: "If I did not believe that the chances of success were greater than those of failure, I would not accept the commission. Mr. Noyes acted on no sudden whom or impulse when he gave me the order to try and locate the much-sought north pole, as he had before him a report submitted to him as to the outcome of two visits to the inner polar regions. "The problem of reaching the pole by means of an airship does not require high speed, and the present state of the art of aerial navigation by gas—buoyed and motor-driven ships—is ample for that purpose. From an easily reached base of operations in northern Spitzbergen we have but 550 geographical miles to go to the pole and a like distance for the return voyage. It we take the whole at 1,200 miles it means but 100 hours of motoring at twelve miles an hour. Santos-Dumont has frequently made from nineteen to twenty-three miles an hour with small air ships equipped with relatively small motors. "The airship in which we propose to attain the northpole will be the largest practicable airship ever built. It will carry 5,500 pounds of gasoline and its distance capacity during calm weather will be eighteen miles more than equal to the distance from Spitizenbergen straight across the pole and the whole Arctic ocean to Alaska. As our airship will be constructed it will be able to make headway against two-thirds of all the winds that blow, even though squarely adverse, and it is part of our project to motor only with favorable winds and to anchor our ship to the ice and 'lie to' in all unfavorable winds of velocity exceeding one-half the normal speed of our craft. The ship will be equipped for safe anchorage in the highest winds ever known in the Arctic regions. In fact, the ship will be subject to the will and hand of the navigator, just like a steamship upon the ocean. "Besides the 5,500 pounds of fuel mentioned, the ship will carry also five men, a comfortable car to live in, (which is also a boat in case of need), food and supplies for seventy-five days, sledges to draw them over the ice, and, in fact, a completely organized and equipped sledging party, ready at any moment, should it be necessary, to abandon the airship and take to the ice. "Wireless telegraph stations will be established at Spitzerbergen and at Hammestest, Norway, 600 miles distant. Further than this, a wireless equipment will be carried in our airship, and it will be our effort to send daily dispatches to the outside world throughout all the time the expedition is in the Arctic regions, even from the pole itself, should wbe successful in reaching it." Printers Strike Is Begun. New York.—Twelve hundred union printers, the employees of forty-four book and job printing concerns in New York city, went on strike Tuesday and began the struggle for the eight-hour day which had been declared to go into effect that day. Members of the local Typothetae, against whom the strike was declared, asserted that hundreds of non-union printers from various parts of the country are hurrying to New York to take the places of the strikers and to secure the high wages paid in this city. Representatives of the Typographical union say that the eight-hour day principle has already been won in New York and that the percentage of men compelled to strike is very small. Scott Murderers Arrested. Colorado Springs, Colo.—The murderers of Frank L. Scott are under arrest and have confessed. Charles Essick, aged eighteen years, of 313 South Wahatch Avenue, fired the shot that killed Mr. Scott on the night of December 20th. His partner in the crime was Leslie Francisco, aged twenty years. Both are in the county jail. In their confessions the young men state that they did not intend to murder Scott. They started out to hold up someone. After ordering Mr. Scott to halt, Essick, in his excitement, involuntarily pulled the trigger. The crime was committed on Wednesday night, December 20th, in front of the residence of Frank N. Strong, 420 East Plike's Peak avenue. NEW YEAR'S SHOPPING NEW YEAR'S SHOPPING Right Now?

For nine months last past the people of Colorado have enjoyed a welcome rest from politics, of which they have taken full advantage. The state as a whole has never been so prosperous before. Its industries have never before been so diversified, nor its sources of wealth so many. It has been a good time for politics to lie fallow. We should not be good Americans, however, if we lost our interest in matters political. The campaign upon with a greater zest because of the long rest. We had too much politics while the last Legislature was in session, but we have made up for that, and will be ready when the proper time comes to start the campaign. WE HAVE NOT THE NERVE TO DO IT. The only difference between a Japanese and a Chinese coolie of the low class is that the Japanese has more energy and natural intelligence. Both are laborers, both require the same amount of food each day and both eat the same kind—rice, fish and vegetables. So far as competing with American labor is concerned, the Japanese is worse than the Chinese. He can do more work in a given time than the Chinese and is therefore in more demand in this country. Thousands are here now and tens of thousands will come in the future, for the United States will not have the courage to shut out the Japanese coolie. So long as the low riff raff of Europe is permitted to come to this country in swarms there is no logical reasons why the Japanese coolie should not enjoy the same privilege. BRINGING REPUBLICANISM BACK INTO LINE. The Negro is true blue Republican. About this there is no question, but he is getting his eyes opened and analyzing the situation. To do this is no crime, but the mark of awakening intelligence, and ought to be commended by party leaders. When the colored man discovers names on the party ticket inimical to his interest or fails to receive his just share of the spoils. Is it a crime for him to withdraw his allegiance for the time being and then return to the party when it is prepared to treat him fairly? We fail to see where the crime is committed. We see absolutely no reason why the colored brother should not be welcomed back and given a place in the party fold the same as white men who bolt the ticket when it endangers their interests. Neither is a colored editor to be blacklisted when he seeks to give his readers advice on party ethics or voters understanding as to their duty in the case. The colored newspaper has a duty in the matter. Its mission is to the race first and to the party next. Therefore the colored press should not be counted disloyal when it serves its mission. The Colorado Statesman had the courage to print extracts from the article of that political mentor. T. Thomas Fortune, written for the December number of the Colored American and put it on the front page of last weeks' issue. In doing so there was no attempt to flaunt "The Red Flag" in the face of our Republican frineds, but to quietly advertise to the party and to the world that the race is doing some thinking on his own account and is prepared to follow up his thoughts with action. A LOOK FORWARD. As the New Year 1906 looms up before us we take just a few moments backward glance before moving forward. Denver colored people are bestiring themselves along business lines and are demonstrating their ability to organize and transact business through incorporated bodies. The first to claim attention is the Western Loan and Investment association, organized March 11, 1890, with 62 members, seven now remain. This company purchased the 75x125 feet corner of Grant avenue and 24th street for $10,000. Every cent has been paid on the prosperty and the company now owns this valuable building site with five houses on it bringing in a good revenue. The association is capitalized at $100,000 and the shares are held by seven members. The officers are J. H. M. Brown, president; Jos. D. D. Rivers, sec; retary; George A. McCullough, treasurer, with John R. Contee, L. C. Connell, E. D. Fountain and Mrs Jane Vernell as directors. The Peoples Sunday Alliance Savings Department has been in operation now for nearly two years. This organization has demonstrated its business ability to take dilegent care of small savings and teach practical business methods by careful investments of small earnings. It shows what great results can grow out of small beginnings. S. H. Tarbet presides over the finance with a board of capital directors. The Afro-American Loan company has been organized about four years. It has had a marvelous growth and is prepared to take care of short loans on good, collateral at notice. This has been one of the most conservative close corporations in Denver and though but little known has been most successful in its investment and earning power. J. H. M. Brown is treasurer and Dr. W. A. Jones, president; A. A. Waller, secretary, and Fred Jackson director. The Gold Chest Mine, Milling and Tunnell company incorporated under the laws of Colorado for $250,000 with five mines at Sunset, Colorado, with steam hoisting machinery is the biggest enterprise conducted by colored people in the West. J. R. Lewis is president and superintendent of mines; J. E. Ford, vice president and G. C. Sample, secretary and treasurer. The beard of directors consists of Dr. P. E. Spratlin, J. W. Jackson C. A. Franklin and Dr. W. J. Cottrell. The latest returns from Golden Chest property makes stock holders glad to be interested in this venture. Stock of this company is held in nearly every state in the Union. The Citizens Investment company is a now recent comer. It was organized in November with a capital stock of $25,000 to purchase real estate, build residences, stores and halls etc. It is officered by A. J. Fitzpatrick, president; T. S. Rector, vice president; P. E. Spratlin, secretary; J. W. Jackson, treasurer; John R. Jackson, general manager and a board of directors consisting of Sherman W. Overton, Julius W. Fields, A. W. Robinson, and Richard M. Grigsby. This organization is backed by experienced and capable men. The Hill Horseshoe-Overshoe company is the latest to come forth to claim public attention. Its purpose is to manufacture, put on the market and dispose of a horseshoe-overshoe patented by William Hill. It is preparing for incorporation with a capital stock of $25,000 and will be officered by Paul W. Walker, president; C. M. Curtis, vice president; J. E. Ford, secretary; and Wm. Hill treasurer and general manager. The directory board consists, Thomas J. Riley, C. A. Edwards and I. H. Harper. Mr. Hill goes East soon to get patterns, moulds and a factory to turn out the shoe and will establish agencies throughout the U. S. These organizations are some of the evidences that the Negroes of Denver are awakening to the fact that the age demands a concentration of Capital and brains and that the way to success in the future must be along the lines of organization. We hope the New Year will be productive of new lines of enterprizes for race betterment.

Word Said to Have No Real Meaning Without Defining Adjective Five kinds of day are recognized, and it has been said that the word "day" has no real meaning without an adjective defining what kind of a day is meant. There is a civil day, the astronomical day, the apparent solar day, the mean solar day, and the sidereal day. The civil day begins at the midnight preceding mean noon, and consists of twenty-four hours counted after twelve o'clock; the astronomical day begins twelve hours after the civil day, or at the mean noon of the corresponding civil day. These hours are reckoned from 0 to 24. It will be seen, therefore, that while 10hr. 12min., January 1st astronomical time, is also 10hr. 12min. January 1st civil time, yet 22hr. 12min. January 1st astronomical time, is also 10hr. 12min. a. m., January 2nd civil time. There are many anomallies growing out of this use of the civil day, and there are many arguments in favor of using the astronomical day. It is one of the reforms which undoubtedly will come some time. HEARTH&BOUDOIR Skirts of "Escape Length." Skirts are without exception the "escape length." The fact that American women are more given to running about on foot than French women explains why they do not follow the latter in the matter of trained dresses, which can only be carried about safely in carriages. This, of course, applies only to the tailor dresses. The evening gowns are trained, though an occasional dance dress is short. Skirts are usually made with from nine to thirteen gores, though once in a while there are some sixteen or seventeen. This, however, is extreme. As to the pattern, the flare and circular flouces are most prominent. There is a suggestion of empire effect in the so-called princess skirt. It is fitted over the hips and around the waist, extending a few inches above the waist line. The jacket worn with this is very short, being something between an Eton and a coffee jacket. Large Muffs Fashionable. Large Muffs Fashionable. Muffs this year are of all shapes and sizes, but the most fashionable muff is very large and full. With chinchilla, especially, lace is so handsome that it is used this season to a great extent. Cream lace ruffles, either at the wrist openings or falling down from the end of the muff, are exquisite in coloring, with either chinchilla or sable. Needless to state, only the richest furs should be made up with lace and only the handsomest lace should be employed. Artificial flowers, violets and gardenias trim the muff to be carried with an elaborate reception costume, and a few clusters of the same flower may be half hidden in the fur neckpiece. With a walking suit the muff is comparatively small and no matter of what fur it must not be trimmed either with lace or flowers. THE LADY IN A GOWN White tea coat of chiffon embroid ered in silver over white lace skirt. Expensive Evening Wrap Expensive Evening Wrap. An empire coat of oyster-white broadcloth, strappings of the cloth and leaf-green velvet, with front facings of gray satin and silver-green silk applique, is an expensive mode for an evening wrap, and is one of the newest adaptations of the popular modes for coats. In the tailored effects especially the empire coat is meeting with general approval by the women of fashion. Heavy corded silk, with strappings of self-toned cloth, or velvet with straps of silk or cloth would be effective combinations. Size 36 requires six and one-quarter yards of forty-six-inch or five and one-half yards of fifty-four-inch material, with one-half yard of velvet. Touches of Gold and Silver A touch of gold or silver is almost inevitable upon the modish frock, preference being given to silver when that is possible; and a hem or band of cloth of gold or silver set under the bottom of skirts of lace, net, etc., is a device much employed for saving the edge of the sheer stuff. This idea, however, belongs chiefly to the province of evening toilets, velvet being ordinarily used for the hem or band upon sheer frocks intended for day wear. For Evening Frocks. White tulle is a charming and modish material for the youthful evening frock, and much used, though of course sadly perishable. It lends itself readily, as do most of the airy, diaphanous materials, to the flower garland, ribbon and lace trimmings, and these floral garnitures are particularly dainty and lovely this season. One may find, too, mousseline or chiffon in plain tints or in white, with a border of tiny flower festoon or garland printed in delicate colorings, and these bordered stuffs are successfully used in combination with plain material to match and with fine inset lace and self trimming for accompaniment. —New York Sun. Velvet Jackets Sharing popularity with loose effects are the separate jackets of velvet to be worn over broadcloth skirts, which are built on severely tailored lines. For a girl with a trim figure the very smartest of the jackets is cut like a broker's business coat; that is, tight fitting from shoulder almost to knee MOTHER AND SON joint in back and a gradual sloping away of the coat below the waistline in front. An example of this is in royal blue. Embroidered in narrow silver braid, a vest of pale blue cloth extends above and below the coat, which comes together at the waistline, and is trimmed on either edge with large silvery buttons, four to each side. The sleeve is jeg-o-mutton, and a fold of velvet outlines a zouave effect just below the bustline. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES The pure white of china may be preserved if washing blue be added occasionally to the water used for washing it. Figs that have become rather dry may be freshened by putting on a plate and keeping in a steamer until moist and plump. Never put away food in tin plates. Fully one-half the cases of poison from the use of canned goods is because the article was left in the can or put into it after using. Stewed prunes, pitted, spiced to taste with vinegar, cinnamon and cloves, sweetened and cooked to the right consistency, make a delicious spiced sauce to serve with chicken, turkey or veal. Winter Wash Gowns. Numbers of women have discarded wool dresses for house wear altogether. Most houses are so well heated that a summer gown is found more comfortable. First the heavy waist was laid aside in favor of a cotton blouse. Now the cotton skirt follows and the gingham and linen shirt-waist suits the average woman wears about her household duties in winter are exactly like her summer dresses—are her summer dresses, in fact, which would be a little out of date next summer and may be worn out in this manner with no economical pangs. It is not only as cheap to have five gingham gowns as one wool one, but an additional advantage is that the former may be always clean, whereas the wool frock worn about sweeping, dusting, etc., catches dirt and carries it around all winter. So the new custom is cleanly, economical and comfortable; and the change from indoors to outdoors can be much more adequately provided for. Shirred Velveteen. A few short seasons ago the suggestion that velvetteen be shirred in any way would have been greeted with scorn and derision, but the chiffon velvetteens of to-day lend themselves beautifully to this effective mode of handling. A charming design is that wherein the grace of the costume lies in the way the material is handled. The corsage maintains some semblance of blouse lines, the necessary definition of the wasteline being cleverly accomplished in a strapped ceinture. The sleeve is puffed at the top and all down the arm are rows upon rows of shirring clear to the wrist. The skirt has a narrow petticoat panel in the front. Boudoir Confidences One of the new princesse gowns is of brown net, with a deep chiffon velvet flounce. The net is embroidered in odd conventional designs of chenille. Gold lace robs it of too somber a hue. Fur trimmings are admirable for street dresses and evening cloaks. They will be seen on many of the THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION Redingote costume of mixed cloth with velvet accessories. handsomest garments of the winter. But it is exceedingly bad form to wear fur on an indoor dress. A lovely rich but simple dress is of solid white Renaissance lace, having small pieces of taffeta set in, delicately embroidered—all in pure white. It is pleasing in the extreme in its simplicity and richness. The extremely long veils for autumn bile use are in white and pale blue. Shorter ones, to be worn on the street, are white, pink and blue dotted with black, tan with brown, navy blue with navy blue, and brown with brown. The noted new color is "mouse gray," "a tint that looks like a trail of smoke in the air." Pretty Russian Suit. Never was there a style more becoming or practical for the little ones than the Russian suits. As they can be worn with petticoats or bloomers, the same design will serve for the ```markdown ``` manikin as well as the little maiden. Many a sensible mother whose aim is the proper development of her children ignores Mrs. Grundy and dresses the little daughter in one of those frocks with bloomers and gives her the same freedom to struggle with the elements as her brothers. The least experienced can, with the aid of an accurate pattern, fashion this little garment without any trouble, the pluits are applied, and there is little more to do than to close the seams. Made in brown serge, with shield, collar, cuffs, belt and the little touches of trimming in stitched white serge, this dress will be serviceable and pretty. The same idea worked out in cheviot of blue and red would also be very satisfactory. Jersey Petticoats. A petticoat experiment is the article having a closely fitting hip yoke of jersey silk. The object of this is to prevent the formation of any bulkiness over the hips, where, notwithstanding the vogue of full skirts, the shirrings and gatherings of fashion, most women still strive for the effect of slenderness and suavity. These yokes add considerably to the price of a silk skirt, an incerase of about three dollars, but one will outlive several skirts and can be fitted successively into one new petticoat after another. The yokes, up to the present, come in black, brown, navy blue and white. They can be had in the made up skirts. Made to Order On dressy suits French buttons, with the tone of the cloth in their center, are beautiful, and in the best of favor. ‘Thursday night, January 18th, is the gdate of the Elk’ big Mask ball at Rast Turner hall.

Mrs. Lee served the best and daintiest dinner Christ- mas that had ever been the good for- tune of her guests to partake of. It comprised fourteen courses, consisting of fruits, wines and delicacies of all lands. The tables and room were dec- orated with cut flowers and the time- honored Christmas holly, and these harmonized very pleasingly with the large tree which stood in the corner. On the tree Mrs. Lee had placed a present for each of her guests.

Some of the business and social or- ganizations of Denver set a high standard of Christmas recognition and put a large premium on faithfulness and length of service and as several of these places employ colored help their method of rewarding their em- ployes should stand as an object les- son that only those who are steady and reliable will be rewarded. The Scholtz Drug Company have adopted the plan first of giving colored men responsible positions and good pay for their services and then giving them a donation at Christmas of $5.00 for every year they have been in service, irrespective of their position or color. ‘Some of their employes received as high as $40. This method of encouraging perma- nence on the part of employes. is a lesson that one’s service is recognized and substantially remembered. The Denver and University clubs | follow a similar course, a subseription list Is presented to the members and then the amount is divided among the help in proportion to the length of ser vice. The umount subseribed by the membership this year at the Denver Club totals over $3,300, the division of this sum. will make a snug pile for those who have been longest in ser vice, amounting in some cases to over $100; thus the men who prove them: selves the most reliable being more suitably rewarded. Be ft said, to the credit of these employes, they in turn after receiving their remembrance make up a donation for some worthy charity. ‘Thus the Christmas good cheer Is passed along from one source to an. other until all have been rememebred.

OVER MOROCCO SITUATION Trouble Feared at Approaching Conference—America Expects to Take a Leading Part in Settling Matters Affecting Trade Interests. Washington.—Neither the American ambassador to France nor the like official at Berlin could treat of the situation which now exists between France and Germany in any report which could be published here without involving him in trouble. But it is believed the explanation of this last German move is to be found in the fact that last July, when the Morocco situation developed an acute phase, the French general staff discovered the entire army, and especially the transportation facilities, were not in a condition justifying France in adopting an aggressive attitude. So the negotiations suddenly assumed a mild tone and have dragged along up to this time. Meanwhile the general staff went to work with great assiduity to correct the evils which had developed, with the result that within the last ten days it was discovered that in the opinion of military experts the French army is in better condition than at any period in its history. The weakest point last summer was discovered to be in the mobilization, and this has been strengthened so that the vast bodies of troops can be collected at the popular centers and transported to the frontier posts in an incredibly short period of time. It is believed here by officials who have kept close watch on the situation that the Germans have likewise been quietly, and, as far as possible, increasing the efficiency of its army. But when the internal resources failed in the matter of producing a sufficient number of railway cars, and it became necessary for the German government to go to foreign countries for the needed supply, it was patent that such an order could not be concealed. So to make the best of the situation this news of the placing of the vast order for transportation material was boldly announced from Berlin as an answer to the French unofficial statement as to the preparedness of France for military action. As to the part the United States is to play in the approaching Moroccan conference, it may be stated on the best of authority that Messrs. White and Gummere, the American delegates, will go into the conference absolutely uncommitted to either the French or the German contentions. The government's view is that America has, by virtue of her ancient interest in Morocco, rights even superior to those of any European state in deciding the critical questions which will come before the conference. The basis of this statement is that America, single-handed, made war upon the Barbary states, wiped out piracy in Mediterranean waters and concluded the first treaty of any civilized nation with those states, a treaty which has formed the basis of the demand of every other nation for favored nation treatment at the hands of Morocco. So, from considerations such as the perpetuation of the open door and fair trade for all in Morocco, the United States government feels that it has right and duty to participate in this important conference. The Slaughter at Moscow. Moscow.—It is impossible to ascertain the total losses resulting from the ten days' revolt, as many of the dead and wounded have not been reported at the hospitals, and some of the bodies were incinerated. A personal tour of the hospitals shows that there were 548 killed and 1,065 wounded. One hundred and seventy-four of the injured taken to hospitals have since died. The troops lost nine killed, of whom two were officers, and fifty-one wounded. Of the police force ten were killed and fifteen wounded. Among the killed and wounded were a number of children, the returns generally showing that innocent persons suffered the heaviest. The final figures of the casualties will approach 2,300, the original estimate made in these dispatches. Ready to Discipline China. Washington.—The attitude of the Chinese toward foreigners and foreign interests generally has become sufficiently hostile to warrant preparations on the part of the various governments for the suppression of another demonstration such as that which occurred in 1900. The Navy Department has intended to order the battleship Oregon back to the United States, but in view of the threatening situation which has developed, instructions have been cabled to leave this vessel in the Orient. There is no change in the purpose of the President to increase the battleship squadron in Asiatic waters by two vessels during the coming spring. Kentucky Decision Affirmed. Washington.—The Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals in the case of James B. Howard versus the state of Kentucky. Howard was tried three times in the Circuit Court of Franklin county, Kentucky, on the charge of murdering Governor Goebel, and convicted each time. He is now under sentence to life imprisonment and brought the case to this court, to secure a review of the ruling of the Kentucky Court of Appeals affirming a decision of the Circuit Court against allowing him another trial. No Insurance Rebates. New York.—An agreement to abolish rebating on premiums has been entered into by the New York Life Insurance Company, the Equitable Life Assurance Society and the Mutual Life Insurance Company. Announcement was made Tuesday that Grover Cleveland has been appointed referee to decide all questions in dispute that may arise in such matters, and that his salary as referee will be $12,000 per year, to be paid by the three companies. One hundred and seventy marriage licenses were issued in 1905 in Weld county. It is estimated that 4,000 skaters disported themselves on the lake in the City park at Denver on New Year's Day. Lawrence Wolf, a well known real estate man, committed suicide in Denver on the 28th ult. He leaves a widow and six children. Judge J. M. Minor, a prominent pioneer of Fremont county, died at Canon City on the 2d inst., at the age of eighty-four years. Simon B. Sutherland, a resident of Boulder county for thirty-eight years and a pioneer miner and gardener, died January 1st at the age of sixty-eight years. Leon C. Johnson, a prominent resident of Fruita, was seriously burned by the explosion of a can of powder at the Nugent coal mine, December 17th, died on the 29th. The fifth annual meeting of the Colorado Horticultural Society will be held in the Chamber of Commerce building at Denver the latter part of January and first of February. Mrs. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, is coming to Colorado Springs to speak under the auspices of the Colored Woman's Club. "The Advancement of Colored Women" will be her subject. W. D. Wilholt of Lincoln, Nebraska, who was struck by lightning on the summit of Pike's Peak last July, has collected insurance from three separate companies, all acknowledging the responsibility, despite the omission of a lightning clause in the policies. All of the buildings comprising the Philadelphia Smelting plant at Pueblo are being thoroughly overhauled and painted. For a long time the Philadelphia has not been in operation and most of the machinery has been moved and added to the other three smelters. At the close of its session in Denver the Colorado Teachers' Association elected the following officers: President, X. Z. Snyder, Greeley; secretary, W. W. Remington, Denver; treasurer, H. S. Phillips, Denver; director, W. A. Olliphant, Monte Vista; auditor, Fred Dick, Denver. On a request from State Treasurer Holmberg, Assistant Attorney General Melville has rendered an opinion declaring that all social and athletic clubs which sell liquors will have to pay the state license of $25 to sell liquor. Some of the clubs of the state have not been paying this license. The Union Pacific is making a number of improvements at Carr station, twenty miles south of Cheyenne, which is taken to indicate that the road has no intention of building a cutoff which would eliminate Athol hill, the steepest grade on the line between Cheyenne and Denver. Two large circus tents have been secured for the Western Live Stock show, which will open in the Union Stock Yards in Denver the last week in January. A third tent is being figured on. The committee on arrangements is preparing for the greatest display of stock ever seen west of Chicago. The body of Claudia A. Bagby, the Durango student who was recently killed at Notre Dame, while attempting to play a joke on a fellow student there, was brought to Durango for interment. Bagby, as a practical joke, impersonated a hold-up, but the victim thought he was in earnest and shot and killed him. An interurban electric railroad to connect Canon City with Florence and the coal camps of the county is practically assured. The same company will build an electric line to the top of the famous Royal Gorge, which will be hardly less attractive to tourists than the cog road to the summit of Pike's Peak. Mrs. Eliza Bliss, the oldest woman in Pueblo, celebrated her 101st anniversary December 30th in good health, being still able to assist in housework. She was born in Richfield, Connecticut, and remembers helping to sew tents for the soldiers of the war of 1812. She has a daughter eighty years old, living in California. Denver had added largely to its park area the past year and the end is not yet. There were over 400 acres purchased during 1905, the greater portion being in Highlands, and the intention is to purchase 160 acres of school land adjoining the City Park and forty-five acres to round out Washington Park. The total park acreage of Denver at the present time is 1,012.63. The following new patents have been issued to residents of Colorado: Gilbert H.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery strengthens the stomach—puts it in shape to make pure, rich blood—helps the liver and kidneys to expel the poisons from the body and thus cures both liver and kidney troubles. If you take this natural blood purifier and tonic, you will assist the kidneys in expelling a plint of rich, red blood, that is invigorating to the brain and nerves. The weak, nervous, run-down, debilitated condition which so many people suffer from, is usually the effect of poisons in the blood; it is often indicated by pimples or boils appearing on the skin, the face becomes thin and the feelings "blue." Dr. Pierce's "Discovery" cures all blood humors as well as being a tonic that makes one vigorous, strong and forceful, through drummers for like purposes that contains neither alcohol nor harmful habit-forming drugs, and the only one, every ingredient of which has the professional endorsement of the leading medical writers of this country. Some of these endorsements are published in a little book of extracts from standard medical works and will be sent to any address free, on receipt, request therefor by Dr. Pierce's medical department. N. Y. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. It tells just what Dr. Pierce's medicines are made of. The "Words of Praise" for the several ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's medicines are composed, by leaders in all the several schools of medical practice, and recommending them for the cure of the diseases for which the "Golden Medical Discoveries" are more weight with the sick and afflicted than any amount of the so-called "testimonials" so conspicuously flaunted before the public by those who are afraid to let the ingredients of which their medicines are composed be known. Bear in mind that the "Golden Medical Discovery" has THE BADGE OF HONESTY on every bottle with which you list of its ingredients. Dr. Pierce's Pleasure and pellets cure constipation, invigorate the liver and regulate stomach and bowels.

Judge Caldwell Yeaman of Denver, president of the Kentucky Home Club, has received from the Louisville Commercial Club the following communication: "Home Coming Week. "The Louisville Commercial Club wants to invite all former Kentuckians to visit the state next spring. "Wanted—the names and addresses of all Kentuckians who have moved to other states. "Did you know that the last census shows that there are over six hundred thousand Kentuckians living in other states? "Well, it's a fact! "How many of these former Kentuckians do you know? "The Commercial Club of Louisville wants the names of as many of these as it is possible to get. It desires to extend invitations to every Kentuckian who has moved away to come back next spring and attend the 'Home Coming Week' festivities at Louisville. "Plans are rapidly maturing for this great event. The Commercial Club hopes to make it a red letter week on Kentucky's historical calendar. There will be 'something doing' seven days and nights, and then the crowd will disperse and go to different parts of the state to remain as long as the low railroad rates are in effect, as the arrangement made with the railroads will include a low rate to all points in Kentucky for 'Home Coming Week' in Louisville. "If you have any friends or relatives who have moved to other states, please send the names and addresses at once to the Commercial Club, Louisville, Kentucky." Judge Yeaman would be pleased to have all Kentuckians in Colorado send him their names and addresses. He will then cause a complete list to be made of all native Kentuckians living in Colorado and will furnish it to the Louisville Commercial Club. He believes that such a list will be of great service in Colorado and in Kentucky, in promoting the Kentucky Home, which it is proposed to construct and maintain in Colorado for Kentucky invalids coming to the state for health. Eulogizes Public Schools President Roosevelt, speaking at the celebration of the centennial of the establishment of the public schools of Washington, said: "The public schools are not merely the educational centers for the mass of our people, but they are the factories of American citizenship. Incidentally to its other work the public school does more than any other institution of any kind, sort or description, to Americanize the child of foreign-born parents who comes here when young, or is born here. Nothing else counts for as much in welding together into one compact mass of citizenship the different race stocks which here are being fused into a new nationality." MALARIA??? Generally That Is Not the Trouble. Persons with a susceptibility to malarial influences should beware of coffee, which has a tendency to load up the liver with bile. A lady writes from Denver that she suffered for years from chills and fever which at last she learned were mainly produced by the coffee she drank. "I was also grievously afflicted with headaches and indigestion," she says, "which I became satisfied were likewise largely due to the coffee I drank. Six months ago I quit its use altogether and began to drink Postum Food Coffee, with the gratifying result that my headaches have disappeared, my digestion has been restored and I have not had a recurrence of chills and fever for more than three months. I have no doubt that it was Postum that brought me this relief, for I have used no medicine while this improvement has been going on." (It was really relief from congestion of the liver caused by coffee.) "My daughter has been as great a coffee drinker as I, and for years was afflicted with terrible sick headaches, which often lasted for a week at a time. She is a brain worker and excessive application together with headaches began to affect her memory most seriously. She found no help in medicines and the doctor frankly advised her to quit coffee and use Postum. "For more than four months she has not had a headache—her mental faculties have grown more active and vigorous and her memory has been restored. "No more tea, coffee or drugs for us, so long as we can get Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. DECISION IN HANDS OF FATE. How a Chicago Girl Settled the Momentous Question. She was standing on a North Clark street corner waiting for a car when he stopped to chat with her. The subject of engagements came up. "A girl friend of mine once had an awful experience," she said. "Kate had been receiving the attentions of a young man, whom I'll call Tom, for several years. Two or three times he had asked her to marry him, but she had withheld her answer. "One day he was appointed to a position in an Eastern city. That night he called on Kate and asked her again to marry him. "I need a little time to think it over," she said. "I leave to-morrow,' said Tom. "Well, to-morrow night I'll mail you a letter giving you my answer,' said Kate. Tom went away and the next day left the city. Kate thought the matter over until late in the night. Then she decided upon a plan. She would write two letters to Tom, seal them, address and stamp them. They would look exactly alike. "One would accept his proposal and the other would reject it. She would place them in the pocket of her coat, go to a train and, just as it started, she would throw one letter aboard the mail car without trying to see which it was. "Kate carried out her plan. She went to the Union depot and just as an eastbound train started threw one letter aboard. Then she rushed back into the depot and opened the other letter to see how fate had decided it for her. With a scream she dropped into a seat and almost fainted." At this point the car stopped and the girl stepped aboard. "Did she accept him?" asked the man on the corner as the car started. The girl replied, but her words were drowned by the rumble of the car—Chicago Inter Ocean. Tommy and Thanksgiving Gov. Folk, of Missouri, was talking about reform. "We all believe in it," he said, "but we want to see it brought about at other folks' expense. We are like, too, a certain Kansas City boy. "This boy's mother said to him, on her return, from a long day's shopping in the Thanksgiving season: "Now i hope my little Tommy has taken to heart mamma's talk of last night about charity and usefulness. Since he has few troubles of his own, I hope he has thought of others' troubles all day long. Since he has many causes for thanksgiving himself, I hope he has tried to give causes for thanksgiving to others? What is my Tommy's report for the day? How many acts of kindness has he done? How much woe has he lightened. How many hearts has my Tommy made grateful and glad?" "In this rather musky way spoke the good young mother. And her Tommy replied: "I've done a whole lot of good, ma. I gave your new hat to a beggar woman, and I gave the cook's shoes to a little girl in busted rubbers what I seen on the street, and I gave a poor lame shoe string seller pa's black evening suit, the open front one that he hardly ever wears." She Couldn't Be Fooled. A tradesman wished to have a telephone put in his house, but his aged mother vigorously protested against it. "Robert," she said, "if you bring one of those dreadful things in here I'll never close my eyes, for fear it may break out and sweep us all into eternity, and us not a bit the wiser." He tried to persuade her it was a most harmless instrument; but she said: "No, no; look at the thousands—aye, millions—of poor Hindoos it killed last autumn." "Why," exclaimed he, "that wasn't a telephone, mother; that was a typhoon." But the timid old lady lowered her spectacles, and, looking at him over the rims thereof, said: "You need not try to make a fool of me, Robert. I perhaps don't know very much, but I do know that the typhoon is the emperor of Japan." Her son gave it up as a hopeless task. Invalid Ant and Athletic Cricket. All summer long. No time for song.

"James," began the principal when that arch mischiefmaker of the high school entered his office in obedience to his request, "I hear too much regarding your class behavior. Miss Shaw says she finds it necessary to reprove you during the history period; the supervisor of music complains of your willfully poor singing; Mr. Cowles tells me your attention is usually wandering from class experiments to unscientific demonstrations of your own. Now, James, how long must this lecturing from your different teachers continue?" asked the principal severely.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 15 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. Redd: "Did the captain use his head during the football game?"

Schillings in his "With Flashlight and Rifle," of an elephant hunting incident. "I sent two more bullets into the male elephant. The whole herd then gathered around an old remale elephant and broke away in a quick shuffle. Since they turned to the right I enjoyed the grand sight of twenty-four elephants passing at a distance of about 450 feet. The wounded male passed a little nearer to me and I could not refrain from firing at him once more. The whole herd stopped, took the young ones into their midst, looked around and sniffed the air. "They discovered us, and, led by two females, they came to attack us. The situation became very critical, for in the long run the animals were bound to overtake us. I fled as fast as my feet would carry me in the wake of my men, who were running away from the animal at a right angle. They knew, as I did, that the elephant's sense of sight is weak and that our only chance of escape lay in changing, from time to time, the direction of our flight. "We did not dare look around, but hurried on in breathless haste. The thundering, dull noise of the pursuing elephants came nearer and nearer. Then suddenly a piercing, trumpet-like sound was heard above the dull noise. Turning around I saw the wounded animal falling into a sitting posture and the rest of the herd in wild flight away from us." The Retort Courteous The pleasant-faced young man stood in an aisle of the book department of one of the big stores. In his hand he held a volume which he had some time previously taken from the counter devoted to the display of the latest fiction. It must be confessed that the young man was devoting most of his attention to an exceedingly pretty, blonde clerk, who stood by his side. The pair were, in fact, so merry that they did not observe the approach of a haughty woman of middle-age who would probably have tipped the scales at 250 pounds, and who wished to pass them, an operation which, though simple for persons of average size, was rendered difficult, if not impossible, by her extreme plumpness. The new-comer paused a moment, but the merry pair, oblivious of her presence, kept on chatting gavly. "Can I pass you?" she demanded at length in tones of thunder, surveying the offending couple with a glance truly Gorgonian. The young man turned, surveyed the speaker, noted her distended nostrils and wrathful eyes, likewise her overplump figure. "Really, I don't know," he said, raising his hat politely. "I hope so, I'm sure." Now, if looks could kill—!—New York Times. Comanche Counting A peculiar feature about the Comanche language is the method of counting. A Comanche will count up to 10 in the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 method, but there he stops. He does not use eleven but instead he counts it as "10 and 1 more," and so on, until he reaches 19, which he pronounces 19. He then pronounces 20, but starts in with "20 and 1 more" until he reaches 29, which he counts 29, then starts in with 30, like he did 20, and counts to 39, and so on all the way up. Counting is the most difficult thing to learn in the Comanche language. In fact, by the time a person has learned to count in that language he has pretty well mastered it. As there is no alphabet in the language, the only way to learn it is by word of mouth. Any attempt to write it in the English alphabet would be absolutely fruitless, as the proper pronunciation could not thereby be transmitted.—Lawton Democrat. Wynne's Foggy Weather Joke. Consul George Wynne, formerly postmaster general, is back in Washington, having been recalled from London to appear as a witness in the trial of the indicted postoffice contractor, Crawford. Wynne was at the White House the other day, brilliant in a long English coat and a Bond street silk hat. Wynne says he likes life in London first rate, and even enjoys the weather. "An English chapple," he remarked, "said to me one day, 'I say, General Wynne, how do you like our beastly weather, the fogs and rains, you know.' "I like the weather all right,' I replied, 'Why shouldn't I, I am not a cab driver.' "Now, that's awfully clever,' said my friend, 'I had never locked at it that way.'" Really a Sad Case. A beggar accosted me to-day— A woman disheveled and sad. She asked for a penny and wept and said That times were terribly bad. With you and your class they always are As bad as bad can be; "Common sense," I said, "and stop your tears; They flow so easily." For then, she said, her only son, A blind and helpless lad. Went out and begged the daily bread. But now, alas! 'twas sad. "And so you lost your boy!" I asked. "And hence your bitter plight?" "Twas even worse than she said, 'My boy regained his sight.' —Modern Society.
