The business houses were closed and tastfully decorated. The sound of martial music directed my footstep and I soon found myself with boy-hood glee and patriotism born of the race marking time with the old veterans, into whose warm hearts will ever beat in sacred unison the day this nation holds in sacred memory May 30th. The parade in number, neatness and general appearance would do credit to any city twice the size of the metropolis of the Western slope. The first old timers to meet were Mr. and Mrs. James E. Harris both formerly of Denver. Mr. Harris has purchased a comfortable home besides he owns a twenty-five acre ranch five miles from the city. In company with Mr. Hines we called on our old school mate T. P. Langon, we had not seen him since '82, back in old Virginia, Hampton. It was a most pleasant reminder of school days and as we recalled events of the campus, and recited our boyish pranks, twenty-four years ago seemed as yesterday. Messrs Langon, Harris, Archer, Jones and myself drove to the beautiful orchard of John Hines, two miles from the city, where we found the genial John, thining his over well laden trees of peaches and apples. We take pride in stating right here that Mr. Hines has the prettiest twenty acre tract, mostly all in fruit, that it has been our pleasure to see, and as my eyes gazed in wonder and admiration at the vastness of the fertile soil of the Grand valley, and to see one of the race viewing with his neighbors in raising the finest fruit of Colorado, I felt proud of the man and my race. M1. Hines has been pruning and grafting until he has cherry trees loaded with apricots, and peach trees bearing peaches, cherries and apricots.

Since our last correspondence a number of colored people have left Durango for different sections of the state. Among them the Tatums for Colorado Springs and Pueblo; Woodens for Denver and Mrr. Rucker for Silverton. Henry Parviss has purchased the house and lot situated on the corner of 10th and Main streets from William Edwards. The property is quite valuable and in excellent condition. Your correspondent bespeaks a promising future for Mr. Parviss, as he is one of the brightest and most progressive colored citizens in Durango.

John and Wallace Hall, two young white men, wese arrested and jailed at Madisonville, Madison county Texas. on the charge of forcibly entering the house of Jim Brown, an old colored man, and criminally assaulting Brown's daughter. The offense was committed last Saturday night. At the preliminary hearing Wednesday they were admitted to bail in the sum of $1000 in the assault case and $500 on the burgulary charge. They are unable to make the bond. Des Moines, Iowa, May 25.—Dr. Matthew Anderson, colored, pastor of the Berean Presbyterian church at Philadelphia, and a graduate of the Princeton Theological Seminary and Princeton University, was refused admittance to a banquet of the Princeton Ministerial Alumni of the delegates to the Presbyterian General Assembly because of racial prejudices. He had purchased a ticket to the banquet and when he appeared at the door of the banquet hall he was not permitted to enter. Anderson may ask the general assembly to take the matter up. A recent dispatch from Washington, D. C. says: "For the past two weeks several white women of this city were victims of a pocket book thief and in every instance described the robber as a 'burly black Negro, etc.' The police arrested several suspects, but were compelled to release them for lack of proof of guilt. Last Wednesday, however, the police arrested a young white man, one Albert W. Purcell, on the charge of indecent exposure, and upon examination at the station house found three ladies pocketbooks and a box of blacking in his clothing. It is stated by the police that this white thief is the so-called 'burly black NO. 37. Negro,' and traces of blacking were found upon his face. Springfield, Ohio.—A red-headed Negro girl named Jennie Carter caused the Board of Education of New Carlisle to take action in dismissing Superintendent Wm. Teach. According to the story told by different persons of New Carlisle, the board wanted Miss Carter, who is one of the brightest members of the graduating class quietly to accept her diploma and not appear at the exercises. Superintendent Teach says he told the board that it had no right to keep the girl from the exercises—that the state law protected her. Soon afterward the board, in executive session, decided that the professor's services would not be needed next year. Two hundred prominent citizens signed a petition urging that Mr. Teach be retained, but the board refused to reconsider its action. It is said that the Negro girl would have taken honors if it had not been for her color. THE DANCING HABIT. The Stanton Reporter of Stanton, California, says: We often wonder how the young Christian man or woman would feel going to a sinner in a revival, with whom he had been dancing only a few nights previous, and urging him to abandon his ways of sin. It is a lamentable fact that the majority of our social leaders think no entertainment complete unless it is accompanied with dancing, drinking, card playing, "coon songs," sometimes all combined—generally led by some Christian man or woman. The plea that it is no harm to do these things may be all right, but there are a few of the "old school" left whose craniums are too hard to admit of such a plea. It is inconceivable to us that a man fresh from the ball room floor could effectively invoke God's mercy upon the professed unregenerated; nor do we conceive how a young woman, with her voice turned to the "coon song" pitch, can enject the essential feeling into those Christian songs. If it is no harm for Christians to dance, gamble, etc., what makes it harm for sinners to do the same? A crusade beginning in the pulpits of our churches should be make against this growing evil and cease not until the evil is eradicated. Ministers should not permit the fear of losing "bread and butter" swerve them from the discharge of their duty. PRESIDENT DECLARES CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO STOCK YARDS ARE REVOLTING Sends Strong Message to Congress with Reynolds-Neill Report—Drastic Inspection of Meat Urged—Serious Charges Against Packers Are Substantiated in Document. Washington, June 4.—The Senate and House of Representatives: I transmit herewith the report of Mr. James Bronson Reynolds and Commissioner Charles P. Neill, the special committee whom I appointed to investigate into the conditions in the stock yards of Chicago and report thereon to me. This report is of a preliminary nature. I submit it to you now because it shows the urgent need of immediate action by the congress in the direction of providing a drastic and thoroughgoing inspection by the federal government of all stock yards and packing houses and of their products, so far as the latter enter into interstate or foreign commerce. The conditions shown by even this short inspection to exist in the Chicago stock yards are revolting. It is imperatively necessary in the interest of health and of decency that they should be radically changed. Under the existing law it is wholly impossible to secure satisfactory results. Orders Further Investigation. When my attention was first directed to this matter an investigation was made under the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture. When the preliminary statements of this investigation were brought to my attention they showed such defects in the law and such wholly unexpected conditions that I deemed it best to have a further immediate investigation by men not connected with the bureau, and accordingly appointed Messrs. Reynolds and Neill. It was impossible under the existing law that satisfactory work should be done by the bureau of animal industry. I am now, however, examining the way in which the work actually was done. Before I had received the report of Messrs. Reynolds and Neill I had directed that labels placed upon any package of meat food products should state only that the carcass of the animal from which the meat was taken had been inspected at the time of slaughter. If inspection of meat food products at all stages of preparation is not secured by the passage of the legislation recommended I shall feel compelled to order that inspection laels and certificates on canned products shall not be used hereafter. Packing Houses Unreasonably Dirty. The report shows that the stock yards and packing houses are not kept even reasonably clean, and that the method of handling and preparing food products is uncleanly and dangerous to health. Under existing law the national government has no power to enforce inspection of the many forms of prepared meat food products that are daily going from the packing houses into interstate commerce. Owing to an inadequate appropriation the department of agriculture is not even able to place inspectors in all establishments desiring them. The present law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there is no provision forbidding the shipment of uninspected meats in interstate commerce, and thus the avenues of interstate commerce are left open to traffic in diseased or spoiled meats. If, as has been alleged on seemingly good authority further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks power to remedy them. A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general government to inspect and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation of the meat food product. The evil seems to be much less in the sale of dressed carcasses than in the sale of canned and other prepared products; and very much less as regards products sent abroad than as regards these used at home. In my judgment the expense of the inspection should be paid by a fee levied on each animal slaughtered. If this is not done, the whole purpose of the law can at any time be defeated through an insufficient appropriation; and whenever there was no particular public interest in the subject it would be not only easy but natural thus to make the appropriation insufficient. If it were not for this consideration I should favor the government paying for the inspection. The alarm expressed in certain quarters concerning this feature should be allayed by a realization of the fact that in no case, under such a law, will the cost of inspection exceed eight cents per head. "What I regard as most conspicuous about George Gayson," said Mrs Oldcastle, "is her naivete. "Yes," replied her hostess, "I wonder what made her get a red one?"—Chicago Record-Herald. "I had a job in a deaf and dumb asylum, and nobody interfered with my practicing." -Cleveland Leader. Why? The Only Way. I call special attention to the fact that this report is preliminary, and that the investigation is still unfinished. It is not yet possible to report on the alleged abuses in the use of deleterious chemical compounds in connection with canning and preserving meat products, nor on the alleged doctoring in this fashion of tainted meat and of products returned to the packers as having grown unsalable or unusable from age or from other reasons. Grave allegations are made in reference to abuses of this nature. Let me repeat that under the present law there is practically no method of stopping these abuses if they should be discovered to exist. Legislation is needed in order to prevent the possibility of all abuses in the future. If no legislation is passed, then the excellent results accomplished by the work of this special committee will endure only so long as the memory of the committee's work is fresh, and a recrudescence of the abuses is absolutely certain. Passage of Law Urged. I urge the immediate enactment into law of provisions which will enable the department of agriculture adequately to inspect the meat and meatfood products entering into interstate commerce and to supervise the methods of preparing the same, and to prescribe the sanitary conditions under which the work shall be performed. I therefore commend to your favorable consideration and urge the enactment of substantially the provisions known as senate amendment No. 29 to the act making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, as passed by the senate, this amendment being commonly known as the Beveridge amendment. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The White House, June 4, 1906. THE REPORT. A Synopsis of the Reynolds—Neil Document. Washington, June 4. — The following is a synopsis of the report of J. B. Reynolds and Commissioner Neill to the president on conditions in the Chicago stock yards. The two officials recently investigated the charges of the horrible conditions there on the instance of the president, and the report has been anxiously awrited. Rooms Dark and Unsanitary. The report says that two and one-half weeks were spent in the investigation in Chicago, during which "we went through the principal packing houses in the stock yards district together with a few of the smaller ones. A day was spent by Mr. Reynolds in New York city in the investigation of its leading slaughter houses." The report says that in many of the rooms where water is used freely the floors are soaked and slimy, and the dark and dingy rooms are naturally not kept suitably clean. An absence of cleanliness was found everywhere in the handling of meat being prepared for the various meat food products. The parts that are sent from the cooling room to these departments where various forms of meat products are prepared, are handled with no regard whatever to cleanliness. The workers climb over heaps of meat, select the pieces they wish, and frequently throw them down upon the dirty floor beside their bench. "in a word," the report adds, "we saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden floors, plied on tables rarely washed, pushed from room to room in rotten box carts, in all of which processes it was in the way of gathering dirt, splinters, floor filth; it was always the reply that this meat would afterwards be cooked, and that this sterilization would prevent any danger from its use. A very considerable portion of the meat so handled is sent out as smoked products and in the form of sausages, which are prepared to be eaten without being cooked. "A particularly glaring instance of uncleaniness was found in a room where the best grade of sausage was being prepared for export." Inspection System Defective. The report says that the radical defect in the inspection system is that it is confined at present by law to passing on the healthfulness of animals at the time of killing, but that the meat that is used in sausage and the various forms of canned products and other prepared meat foods goes through many processes, in all of which there is possibility of contamination through unsanitary handling and further danger through the use of chemicals. During all these processes there is no government inspection, although these products when sent out bear a label stating that they have been passed upon by government inspectors. The report arraigns the sanitary provisions in the buildings as abominable, and says the men and women plunge their naked hands into the meat to be converted into food products. The report says the burden of protecting the cleanliness and wholesomeness of the products and the health of the workers and improving the conditions must fall upon the national government. Account Book Supreme. Department superintendents "seem to ignore all considerations except the account book," and proper care of the products and of health and comfort of the employees is impossible, and the consumer consequently suffers. Turberculosis victims expectorate on the spongy wooden floors of the dark work rooms, from which falling scraps of meat are later shoveled up to be later converted into food products. "Even the ordinary decencies of life are completely ignored," says the report in discussing the arrangements for men and women employees. The report says: Situation Unpardonable. "The whole situation, as we saw it in these huge establishments, tends necessarily and inevitably to the moral degradation of thousands of workers, who are forced to spend their working hours under conditions that are entirely unnecessary and unpardonable, and which are a constant menace not only to their own health, but to the health of those who use the food products prepared by them." The report urges compulsory examination after slaughter, inclusion of goats, now exempt from inspection intended for foreign or interstate commerce, in the list subject to the inspection of the bureau of animal industry, and that they should be equally controlled by the regulations of the secretary of agriculture. Increase of inspectors for night inspection and special work; legislation prohibiting declarations of government inspection of food products unless subject to government inspection at every stage of preparation; prohibiting interstate transportation of any meat or meat food products not inspected and labeled; urges considering the question of specific labeling of all carcasses sold as fresh meat which upon examination after slaughtering show signs of disease but are still deemed suitable for food; and recommends study of inspection standards of other countries. WOMEN'S CLUB IN COREA. Suffragists in That Country Demand Many Radical Changes in Sex Though the woman movement is making vast strides and gathering converts in many unlikely places, even the most hardened suffragette will be interested in the news that Corea is the latest scene of war in the ladies' battle. The movement takes a similar form to that which has shown elsewhere, and is interesting if only from this point of view, as auguring the possibilities of a big united movement in the distant future on the part of all progressive women. Equality of the sexes is what the Corean ladies desire, radical change in woman's dress, better education and an improved business footing between Corea and other countries (a novel idea this), with the intention of thereby benefiting the women indirectly in the increased prosperity of the country. The women who have allied themselves to this movement are drawn from the upper middle class, and have opened a women's club, and have embodied the ideas already noted in a manifesto, which is a truly amazing document. The members of the new club are doffing their native costumes, and going in for a terrible European compromise, in which the inevitable spectacles, always associated with learning, play a conspicuous part. The club has grown up members and also young schoolgirls, who, to show their independence, are allowed to go to school and in the streets minus the sheltering "apron" (a head covering) which is always worn by the Corean feminine when before the public gaze. In the manifesto the Corean women bewail their hard lot; debarred a voice in the affairs of either household or state, they feel they are in an evil case indeed, and believe themselves to be the most down-trodden members of their sex on the globe. Reference is made to the different organizations that western women have formed for the advancement of social, literary and commercial purposes. Hitting Back. Critic—You tragedians are "hams."

Cheyenne,—Union Pacific surveyors have been at work for some time running a line from Borie on the main line west of here, to Carr, on the Denver Pacific, and it is said the company has decided to build a line over that route to take care of the Denver and other southern trade toward the west. This would avoid entirely the trouble some Athol hill, saving a long pull up and a long brake down. For many years the Union Pacific has been looking for some way to avoid this long grade, and a short time ago it seriously considered the advisability of making a cut through the hill, at the expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The new route will make a difference of nearly two hours in the time from Denver west, and a Denver-Port land train would be put on to take care of the passenger traffic to the south. This would cut Cheyenne off the Denver west line, but the present road would still be maintained for the Denver-Cheyenne traffic. With the avoidance of the long Athol hill pull, much of the traffic which has heretofore been going through Omaha will pass over the Denver Pacific and on east through Kansas. This would necessitate many additional train and engine crews on the Denver Borie line. Pueblo Mineral Palace Suit. Pueblo.-Land in Pueblo willed to Henry C. Brown by his wife and now occupied by the Mineral palace and park, is involved in the foreclosure proceedings brought in the United States Circuit Court by S. S. Kiefer singer of Iowa against the city of Pueblo. Arguments on the matter were heard Wednesday before Judge Lewis and taken under advisement. The land was purchased by the city of Pueblo from Brown through the Probate Court in 1893. Kletersinger claims that he had a prior lion on the land in the form of a mortgage executed by Brown as security for a promissory note. The loan has never been repaid, he avers, and in default he wants the court to sell the land. Henry C. Brown and several others were named as defendants in the original suit, but death has carried them all away and only the city of Pueblo remains to fight the claim. City Attorney C. A. Highberger and his assistant, John Martin, appeared for the municipality in the case. Miners Meet Death Denver.—A Central City dispatch Thursday says: "John Bray and John Brewer lost their lives at the Saratoga mine in Russell gulch to-day from foul air. They had evidently found the shaft full of deadly gases, given the signal to hoist and grasped the bellrope to signal for haste, but their strength failed and the bell sounded but once, that being the signal to stop. Obeyed by the engineer, the cage rested where it was and the men in it perished. Bray was about 36, married, and had been a well-known resident of the district for years. Brewer was 27, single, and arrived from England about four weeks ago." First Trains Since November First Trains Since November. Denver—A Republican special from Silverton Thursday says: "The Silverton Northern railroad between Eurasia and Australia for Pork was opened to trade to-day for the first time since November 10th last. The road is by Otto Mears, who intends to keep it open in future throughout the winter by an extensive system of snowsheds. The Silverton railroad, running between Silverton and Red Mountain, will be opened to morrow. This road is also owned by Mears and he intends to erect snowsheds along the line which will keep it open throughout the winter." PERMIT WAS BROAD ENOUGH War-Time Reminiscence Illustrative of the Humor of President Lincoln. Mr. Linton Park, who is now an inmate of the Soldiers' and Sailors' home at Erie, Pa., was among those who joined in the chorus, "We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more." He enlisted at Washington, and was assigned to the Second District of Columbia regiment, relates Youth's Companion. Mr. Park was then, as now, a vegetarian. While he could assimilate everything connected with his answer to the call of duty from the stand of patriotism, he could not assimilate the army pork. It was plain that if the government wished to do the square thing by Park it would have to show broad-mindedness in the matter of rations. So he took his troubles to President Lincoln, and explained that in some respects he was like the children of Israel after they set out from Egypt. He could not forget the leeks and onions with which he was wont to regale himself back in Indiana county. Lincoln smiled. "You want me to turn you out to graze like Nebuchadnezzar?" he asked. "It would beat salt pork," was Mr. Park's reply. Thereupon Mr. Lincoln wrote carelessly on an ordinary sheet of paper: "The bearer, Linton Park, is here with granted permission to browse wherever he chooses." Mr. Park saw the humor in the note, and enjoyed it quite as much as Lincoln did. He also enjoyed his privilege of "browsing." The note is still in his possession. PADEREWSKI'S BELLBOY. Musical Youth Made a Hit with the Great Pianist by Playing His "Minuet." Rosamond Johnson, of Cole & Johnson, composers of that once popular song, "Under the Bamboo Tree," once held a position as bellboy in Young's hotel in Boston. This place, says Success Magazine, he once nearly lost, through taking the liberty of playing Paderewski's "Minuet" for the great pianist. Paderewski, who was staying at that hotel, had rung for a bellboy, and young Johnson answered the call. Being so fond of music, he made bold to ask the great composer and pianist to play the "Minuet" for him. Paderewski could not understand English then, and the boy thought from his gesticulations that he wished him to play it. So he sat down at the piano and commenced playing. Paderewski's manager happened to enter the room just then, and, enraged at the bellboy's presumption, threw him out of the room and went directly to the management and had him discharged. As soon as he learned what had been done, Paderewski, who had been pleased with the lad's playing, sent for the manager of the hotel and had Johnson reinstalled in his position. Disappointed. "So Mrs. Nurich was held up and robbed. How did she feel about it?" "Oh, she's fearfully mad. Only had five cents in her pocket book at the time, you know, and she's afraid people will think she hasn't any money." —Detroit Free Press. Every boy has three ambitions before he finally settles down. His first is to be the snare drummer in the village band. The second is to be an Indian killer and scout. The third is to be a locomotive engineer. Then he forgets about them and is ambitions only to make a living. KNIFED. Coffee Knifed an Old Soldier. An old soldier, released from coffee at 72, recovered his health and teils about it as follows: "I stuck to coffee for years, although it knifed me again and again. "About eight years ago (as a result of coffee drinking which congested my liver), I was taken with a very severe attack of malarial fever. "I would apparently recover and start about my usual work only to suffer a relapse. After this had been repeated several times during the year I was again taken violently ill. "The Doctor said he had carefully studied my case, and it was either 'quit coffee or die,' advising me to take Postum in its place. I had always thought coffee one of my dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the Doctor's decision, for I hadn't suspected the coffee I drank could possibly cause my trouble. I thought it over for a few minutes, and finally told the Doctor I would make the change. Postum was procured for me the same day and made according to directions; well, I liked it and stuck to it, and since then I have been a new man. The change in health began in a few days and surprised me, and now, although I am seventy-two years of age, I do lots of hard work, and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day besides loading and unloading the wagon. That's what Postum in the place of coffee has done for me. I now like the Postum as well as I did coffee. "I have known people who did not care for Postum at first, but after having learned to make it properly according to directions they have come to like it as well as coffee. I never miss a chance to praise it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look for the little book, "The Road to Wellyville," in pkrs.

The pulling of several colored cribs in the red light district and fineing the inmates because they harbored young white boys who are still in their teens, meets the approbation of the general public, but what the COLORADO STATESMAN would like to know is, why the special officers did not at the same time seek to protect the colored youth who are victims at the hands of designing women and lured into dens of vice. We firmly believe in protecting the youth of our city but we also believe that peace officers should make no distinction in the class or color of the youth that is protected. Colored youth need to be safeguarded as well as the white youth. Our contention is not against arresting and fineing those who are guilty of debauching manhood but we strongly protest that discrimin should not be made. All paths to sin and crime are wide open to the young colored boys and girls, they are the victims of all kinds of inducements to ruin and when it comes to closing the doors and removing the temptations, their salvation ought to be as carefully considered as any others. We have only good words to offer for the efforts of the authorities to interpose in behalf of the young but we do not feel that full justice is done until the colored youth is shielded the same as other classes. Let the authorities make no distinction and they will have our unqualified approval in their efforts to save the young. THE PACKINGHOUSE INVESTIGATION Now that the public has been permitted to rest in the Insurance scandal and that business has been reorganized and put on a better basis. Attention has been turned to the Packing houses, their method and products. Phew! What a stench the National Investigation Committee has uncovered in the precincts of the Chicago Stock yards. Disgusting and filthy methods obtain in handling and prepairing the meats that millions of people pay their hard earned cash for. In packing this meat utter disregard of the laws of even cleanliness let alone sanitation prevail. The mixing of spoiled and poisonious material in canned and pickled goods, the use of refuse in the sausages and deliberate deception of Government inspection makes one shudder for the health of the nation. Why such conditions as these should have been in practice for years. The public will be glad to know that these conditions will at once be rectified and the packing houses receive attention, for the Presidents big stick is raised and unless the the Packers immediately change their methods and satisfy the public that their products are fit to eat not will the big stick fall but the public purse string will draw. In the meantime the people who desire to live will diet on eggs, vegetable, fish cereals and various foods aside from packing house filth which they have been masticating heretofore. THE MAN BEHIND THE BALLOT. President Roosevelts decoration address at Portsmouth, Va. on May 30th bore the ear marks of good common civic sense. He told the American people a plain simple truth when he said "that in the last analysis it is the man behind the ballot who counts most in civil life just as it is the man behind the gun who counts most in military life." The people get the kind of government they want on Election day, for it is that time that the people can discriminate and in the closet of the polls unmolested and unhampered by political buncombe and tainted money or graft they can choose the best man or set of men irrespective of bias or party and vote them into office. The Australian ballot system when rightly used makes each voter responsible for the kind of men elected to the extent of his own ballot. This applies to the man who neglects to vote the same as the one who goes to the polling place and deposits his ballot. In the last election it was discovered that a large number of colored people failed to register. The individual who stays away is in some respects more to be condemned than the one who votes the wrong way for the former shirks and neglect his duty to the public welfare and there is less hope of a man or woman who will take no interest and will do nothing than there is of one who though ignorance votes wrong. Thus both classes are equally responsible and should be held by an intelligent public to account. The safety and hope of the Negro in this country lies in the faithful discharge of his known duty to the public. If he expects public consideration and protection then he should render public service. Public officials will represent the people who elected them whether the electors be good or evil. Let connivers and tricksters control the election and the same class is bound to control the offices and public functions. Thus the people simply get the kind of government they themselves choose whether good or bad, and the President is both clear and logical when he says that in the first and last analysis the government depends upon the man behind the ballot. The President was right. All the talk about gangs and combinations and the rest of it does not change the fact that it is the indivual voter who finally determines things. And he can help more by getting into the game early, attending the primary helping to get good men nominated, seeing that his name and those of others are properly on the poll lists, and generally attening to his duties as a citizen, than if he merely waits till election day and goes to the polls and votes. THINK THEMSELVES TO DEATH Thousands Said to End Lives by Mon bid, Unhappy Thoughts. Thousands of people actually think themselves to death every year, says Suggestions, by allowing their minds to dwell on morbid subjects. The idea that one has some incipient disease in one's system, the thought of financial ruin, that one is getting on in life without improving prospects—any of these or a thousand similar thoughts may carry a healthy man to a premature grave. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one's mind needs as much doctoring as physical disease. It needs to be eradicated from the mind or it will have just the same result as a neglected disease would have. Every melancholy thought, every morbid action and every nagging worry should be resisted to the utmost and the patient should be protected by cheerful thoughts, of which there is a bountiful store in every one's possession. Bright companions are cheaper than drugs and plasters. The morbid condition of mind produces a morbid condition of body, and if the disease does happen to be in the system it receives every encouragement to develop. We need more mental therapy.

The Ladies' World has an interesting article by Mary Foster Snider giving direction on how to cook asparagus in different ways and make savory dishes. Attention is called to the fact that difficulty is often experienced in properly cooking this vegetable. It is suggested by this writer that if the stalks are cut into equal length and then stood upright in the sauce pan after being immersed in water to two-thirds of the way to the tips so that the latter is cooked by the steam only, there is less danger of over cooking the tips while the butts are not underdone. A half hour cooking is said to be enough by this method, unless the butts are unusually tough. Of course the coarse butts should always be removed. Asparagus Soup. — Wash a large bunch of asparagus, cut off the tips, cover the stalks with cold water, and boil five minutes, then drain. Then cover with three pints of soup stock and add a third of the reserved tips. Cook until the asparagus is soft enough to press through a sieve or colander, and leave only the fiber behind; then return the soup and pulp to the fire, season to taste and bring it to a boil; drop in the remainder of the tips, which have been cooked gently in another saucepan until tender. Heat one cupful of cream or rich milk in another boiler, and chicken with two level tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter rubbed smoothly together; add to the soup and let boil a few minutes longer, then serve at once with croutons. Cream of Asparagus Soup.—Cook one bunch of asparagus in one quart of water with a sprig of onions. When the asparagus is tender, rub all through a sieve, mashing and rubbing through all but the fiber. Return the pulp and soup to the fire, season with salt, white pepper and celery salt, and add one pint of milk. Let it come to a boil, thicken with one level tablespoonful each of flour and butter rubbed smoothly together, and simmer ten minutes longer. Escalloped Asparagus.—Boll asparagus until tender, then drain, and place a layer in a buttered baking dish which has been well sprinkled with bread-crumbs. Sprinkle the asparagus with chopped hard-boiled eggs, pepper, salt and grated cheese, and proceed in this way until a pan is full, having the top layer of asparagus. Pour over it a cupful of thin white sauce, sprinkle with buttered crumbs, and brown delicately in a hot oven. Asparagus with Eggs.—Boil asparagus until tender, then place in a buttered baking-dish; season delicately with salt, pepper, and a pinch of out-meg. Beat the yolks of four eggs until light, add two tablespoonfuls of cream, two level teaspoonfuls of butter, a little more seasoning, and the whites of the eggs beaten to a froth. Pour over the asparagus, set in a hot oven, and bake until the eggs are set. Asparagus Salad.—Ice cooked asparagus tips and mix them lightly with finely-minced young onion. Serve ice-cold in little nests of tender lettuce leaves with a little French dressing poured over. A cream mayonnaise is also a delightful accompaniment, and especially if the iced asparagus tips are mixed with an equal amount of iced green peas. Chicken Asparagus Cases.—Mash one cupful of cold cooked asparagus with one cupful of hot mashed potatoes, add one-half cupful of fine dry bread crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, and two well-beaten eggs. Form into little boxes or baskets, brush with soft butter, sprinkle well with fine bread crumbs, and set in a hot oven until heated through. Fill with diced creamed chicken or veal, which has been kept hot on the top of the stove, and serve at once. Careful handling is necessary with these pretty and delicious little cases.—Prairie Farmer. Peppers Stuffed with Cold Ham. Use six large green peppers. Scrape out clean and fill them with a mixture of one cup of minced ham, one cup of breadcrumbs and one tablespoonful of butter. Put into a baking dish with a half pint of strained tomatoes seasoned with salt and pepper and a tablespoonful of sugar. Bake for three-quarters of an hour. Insect Bites. For stings or bites from any kind of insect apply dampened salt, bound tightly over the spot. It will relieve and usually cure very quickly. EAST WEST COOKING APRICOTS. A New Dish Accidentally Evolved Which Proved Very Pleasing and Also Economical. A cook the other day accidentally evolved a new dish. In stewing apricots, she found that she had more juice—which was really a thick sirup, so much sugar had been used—than she wished to send to the table with the fruit. She therefore soaked a little gelatine, and poured over it the hot apricot juice, to which she had added a very little—half a teaspoonful —bitter almond extract. When the gelatine was thoroughly dissolved and mixed with the juice, she poured the mixture in a mold, using for the purpose one of the cake tins that have fluted sides and a hole in the middle. The next day she carefully removed the jelly to a rich dark-blue platter, where it looked very pretty with its orange coloring. The hole in the center was filled with whipped cream, and a dessert sent to the family that cost almost nothing of either money or labor. Of course a ring mold could be used to even better advantage. A very good shortcake is made from the best quality of canned apricots. Drain the juice away from the fruit, and cut it in small pieces. Set in a warm place, and proceed to mix the cake. This calls for one cupful of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, and half a teaspoonful of salt sifted together. Into this work four tablespoonfuls of butter, add three-fourths of a cupful of milk, and stir into a light dough. Roll in a floured bowl and when one-fourth of an inch thick cut into generous squares. Brush the squares with melted butter, lay one on top of the other, and bake in a hot oven. When done, separate the pieces, spread the fruit between the layers and on top, and pile whipped cream over all. A sweet sauce which may be served with the shortcake is made by adding to a cupful of the fruit juice one tablespoonful of cornstarch wet in a little water and boiled for a few minutes. A tablespoonful of butter is melted into the sauce and a tablespoonful of lemon juice is added just before serving.—N. Y. Post. EASILY GROWN VINES. Boston Ivy and Virginia Creeper Two Stand-Bys—Some Beautiful Blossoming Vines. Not alone may the veranda be beautified with vines. The wall of a brick or stone house may be given a living coat of green, which will be a joy to the lovers of nature. The Boston ivy and the Virginia creeper, two vines known through America, cling to walls without support, and so are especially useful for this purpose. The former is not as hardy as the latter, but in the middle and southern latitudes it succeeds well and forms a beautiful mass against a wall. The Virginia creeper is perfectly hardy. It will hide ugly stone fences, outbuildings and dead trees, transforming them into things of beauty. The rapid growing Virgin's Bower is an excellent vine for a veranda, giving a dense shade. It presents a snowy bank of star-shaped white flowers of delightful fragrance, which last for several weeks. A companion variety, Clematis coccinea, has rose-colored flowers, which resemble half-closed rose beds from a distance. The wistaria is a good vine for a trellis, but is somewhat coarse for most verandas, being better suited for the rustic house or pergola, where its delightful purple flowers hang in graceful profusion. The Crimson Rambler rose vine is perhaps one of the surest, hardlest and most satisfactory of vines, admirably suited for the veranda or almost any other place. It grows rapidly and blooms in great abundance. Bitter sweet is an excellent vine of rich foliage, which becomes highly colored in the autumn and is often followed by a mass of scarlet fruit, which hangs for a long time.—Brooklyn Eagle.

The bill of fare comprised only the best eatables in the market and the evening was very pleasantly spent. The entertaining proclivities of Mr. Caswell are too well known to add further comment to his genial hospitality. Mrs. C. F. Hall and Mrs. Jos. D. D. Rivers and daughter, Vivian, spent Sunday in Boulder the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Hall, who entertained them royally. They were driven about the city by Wm. Hall who took pride in showing them the points of interest. They report a good time and hope to visit the beautiful little city in the near future. The State Federation of Colored Women's clubs will meet in Denver June 13 and 14 at Shorter chapel. Among the state officers much interest is being shown in their efforts to bring together a large delegation of women from all parts of the state. The Denver Federation of clubs, with Mrs. Martha Sprattlin as president, and Mrs. Sadie Bland as secretary, are making much preparation to entertain the delegates and visitors while in the city. Among the speakers on the program in the convention will be Gov. McDonald, Mayor Speer, Judge Lindsey, A beautiful June Wedding took place Wednesday evening, June 6th at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Moses Thrashley, 3118 Downing avenue. Their daughter, Miss Myrtle, became the bride of Mr. James A. Adams. Miss Beatrice, sister of the bride, played the Mendelshon Wedding March; Miss Carrie Carper sang, "O Promise Me." The bridal party consisted of Miss Pearl Thrashley, bride's maid and Mr. Ray Clark as best man who escorted the contracting couple. Rev. Ford said the words that made them one after which Mr. and Mrs. Adams received the compliments of the host of invited guests. On Monday Miss Thrashley was the recipient of a kitchen shower by her many friends while on Wednesday evening, presents of a useful and valuable nature were in abundance. For the time being Mr. and Mrs. Adams will reside at the home of the bride's sister, Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Mason, 2945 Lincoln avenue.

The Junior society of a church devised this method of raising some money for a picture they wished to purchase. They advertised the affair by hand bills and posters and did considerable talking themselves, so every one was consumed with curiosity to see "what those young things could do." On the night in question "they" found it took a penny to get in as well as a penny to get out. There was pop corn for a penny a glass; it was popped on the spot by a street vender, who was glad to come for a small share in the profits, and then there was a very popular candy table, and there were refreshments which were retained by the penny worth. Fortunes were told for a cent, and the "present," "past" and "future" were continued to an indefinite length by the forthcoming cent. These ingenious Junlors had concocted many a scheme to inveigle the little red Indian out of the pockets of the long-suffering public. You could find out your weight, your height, and buy a stick of gum for a cent each. There was a flower booth, a penny a blossom; a boot-blacking stand, with a seat reserved for ladies which was under a huge umbrella. The street fakirs peddled fruit, and there was a scissors grinder, also a hand organ man. It was conducted on the order of a street fair, and the treasurer found the result of the evening's profit to be more than enough for the picture. This fair was managed entirely by the young people, of whom the oldest was 15. A. Guessing Contest For this contest pass cards ornamented with bees and wasps flying about, with the word "Stings." Write the questions: 1—A sting that cures fatigue? Answer: Resting. 2—A sting that cures hunger? Feasting. 3—A sting that tidies your room? Dusting? 4—A sting that cooks your meat? Roasting. 5—A sting that makes you laugh? Jesting. 6—A sting that foolish people indulge? Boasting. 7—A sting that browns your bread? Toasting. 8—A sting that spoils your tools? Rusting. 9—A sting that makes you read a book through? Interesting. 10—A sting that tries? Testing. 11—A sting that adapts? Adjusting. 13—A sting that shop keepers dislike? Trusting. A Luncheon for the Girl Graduate. This description of a luncheon to be given by the mother of a sweet girl graduate may be of assistance to others who wish to have similar affairs. The class colors are orange, and purple, gorgeous in the extreme, yet they combine very prettily. There are just 12 girls, and they are to sit around a polished table, with lace mats over purple. The candles are to be individual ones in brass holders, with shades of lace paper filagree over purple. Tiny dolls dressed in purple gowns with caps of orange are to hold the place cards, which are cut out in book form from purplish cardboard lettered in gold with the words: "The History of Miss Blank." The menu is to be the usual one, so I'll not give the dishes, but the salad of orange, nuts, celery and white grapes is to be served in halves of oranges made into baskets with a bow of orange and purple on the handle. The ice is to be orange, with cake frosted with the egg yolks instead of the whites. With the after-dinner coffee paper rolls tied up like diplomas with the class colors will be passed bearing this pretty verse, which is most appropriate for the guests just starting out on the next period of life's journey: "A little journeying through shade and sun A little rest where quiet waters run, A little parleying with friend and foe, A little oasis where blossoms grow, A little darkness are the light is won." Lemon Juice for Freckles. See if this remedy for freckles will not prove successful: Thirty grains of pulverized borax, dissolved in two and one-half ounces of lemon juice, makes a lotion that is very effective in keeping freckles in abeyance where it agrees with the skin. It should be applied at night after the face has been thoroughly washed and rinsed. Summer Stuffs. Following in the wake of pompadour silks are a thousand and one flowered stuffs, organdies and muslins and dimities, and the rest of the tribe of sheer summer stuff, some of them woven so that the threads grow closer here and, forming effective plaids, upon which background the flower designs loom up in more picturesque style than ever. In the Spring. Why not take some old-fashioned treacle, made of sulphur and molasses? Or you can take port wine and sulphur. PRESENTS FOR GENTLEMEN The accompanying illustration give some suggestions for ladies who wish to make, with their own hands, some useful little presents for their gentlemen friends. No. 1 is an ordinary rubber tobacco pouch (one should be chosen capable of holding about two ounces of tobacco) that has been covered with wash-leather, and the initial of the recipient or giver worked in silk on the front part of it. No. 2 is a sketch of a pipe case, which may also be made out of wash-leather or kid, and buttons over to inclose the pipe. No. 3 is a case to hold two razors and some shaving-papers, and is made to fold up and fasten with two little RAZOR RAZOR SHAVING PAPERS TIES A LUPES SOME USEFUL LITTLE GIFTS. buttons. It can be made in art linen, in silk, or fine cloth, and should be about 9 inches wide and 12 inches deep. If the pockets are formed of wash leather they will help to keep the razors bright, and it is quite easy to work the lettering on the leather. No. 4, a circular flat pincushion for carrying in the waistcoat pocket, and to the right of this sketch is shown a side view of the same article. It should be about two inches in diameter. It is made from two discs of card covered with embroidered silk. They are seamed together, and pins are stuck in round the edges. No. 5 illustrates a case to hold ties, handkerchiefs, and gloves, constructed with pockets, and to fold up in the same manner as the razor and shaving-paper case, but larger, the width at least 11 inches and 18 inches deep; the pockets are stitched on the lining before that is laid over the material that forms the outside. A pretty dark-colored fine cloth, lined with white silk, are the best things to use, as the white is clean-looking. No. 6, like the pipe-case, may be made of wash-leather, or kid, and is intended for a purse for gold, and should be in size about $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches deep by $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches in width, and fasten with a small button. This also is for carrying in the waistcoat pocket, and has an initial worked in silk on the front. FOR CHAPPED HANDS. Wear Gloves as Much as Possible and Do Not Wash the Hands More Than Is Necessary. Just as there is a constitutional tendency of certain skins to become roughened and excoriated by the stimulating effect of cold winds, so is there a constitutional tendency for the hands to chap at some seasons of the year under the influence of cold water or an irritating cleansing medium. Soaps containing an excess of alkali, and water containing even small quantities of soda, are particular offenders in this direction. As is well known, washerwomen whose hands are constantly immersed in strong solutions of soda are particularly liable not only to chapped hands, but actually to eczema of the skin, and bakers who are in the habit of kneading dough which also often contains a fair proportion of carbonate of soda, very frequently suffer in the same way. The best recipe therefore that I can give you to avoid chapping of the hands is to avoid using indifferently prepared soaps and as far as possible to dispense with manual ablutions. To protect the hands from atmospheric conditions it is advisable to wear gloves, not only out of doors but as much as possible in the house also. This serves the additional purpose of obviating the necessity for frequent washing. It is possible now to procure some very thin India rubber gloves which fit the hand closely and in no way interfere with the delicate manipulations of the fingers. Surgeons are now in the habit of using these gloves in the performance of their operations, for they are in no way damaged by washing and they both protect the hands from irritating antiseptics and other fluids with which they come in contact and they also protect the person operated on from any possible contamination that may be contained on the skin of the surgeon. These gloves, as I have remarked, are exceedingly useful for domestic use by people who are liable to chapped hands and in whom the condition, if it arises, amounts to something more than an inconvenience. To Improve the Arms. Immediately after washing in warm water massage the arms with the skin food and if the conditions be favorable you will see an improvement in a month. More Wholesome Complexion. Give up tea and coffee, take out-of-door exercise, a daily bath, drink plenty of water, as much as a quart a day, eat plenty of fruit. 4-11-44 Kobey's Lucky Combination.

OFFICERS FOR NEXT YEAR Active Work and Good Results Reported From All parts of the State —Interesting Events of the Meeting. Denver.—The Colorado State Sunday School Association yesterday elected the following officers: S. H. Atwater, Canon City, president. J. H. Beggs, Denver, first vice president. F. F. Frasier, Montrose, second vice president. T. P. Barber, Colorado Springs, recording secretary. Miss Emma Dieter, Wheatridge, statistical secretary. John W. Barrows, Denver, treasurer. Heads of Departments: Mrs. J. A. Walker, Denver, primary; J. D. Warer, Denver, home; J. F. Webb, Denver, normal; Prof. L. D. Eichhorn, Colorado Springs, men's; J. C. Carman, Denver, messenger. The executive committee appointed Rev. Joel Harper, Montrose, field worker, and John C. Carman, Denver, state superintendent, with headquarters at 319 Charles building, Denver. Yesterday was a busy day for the 400 delegates. Not a minute was permitted to go to waste, from 9:30 in the morning, when the pastors' conference was held, to the evening address on "The True Education," by Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts of Denver University. Much favorable comment is given the addresses on music by Professor Eichhorn, who also has charge of the convention music. Professor Eichhorn addressed the convention yesterday on "The Ministry of Sacred Music." A favorable report was received from the different delegates on "The Sunday School Conquest of Colorado." The report of the state board showed that the state work is gaining remarkably; that the number of school as well as the average number of pupils, and collections per pupil, are on the increase. Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner opened the afternoon session with an address on "Spokes of the Sunday School Wheel," and Rev. H. R. O'Malley talked on "Men in Sunday School." The superintendents went into conference from 5 to 7:30, and their adjournment was followed by a praise service, conducted by Professor Eichhorn. UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO One Hundred and Sixteen Degrees Granted to Graduates. Boulder, Colo.—Commencement exercises at the University of Colorado closed Wednesday morning, degrees being conferred on 116 graduates of various departments of the university, besides some honorary degrees conferred upon the graduates of this, as well as of other universities. The exercises were held in the Chautauqua auditorium and although this building is capable of holding over 3,000 people, every seat was occupied and many people were obliged to stand. The procession formed at the university library at 9:30 o'clock and marched in double file to the Chautauqua grounds. President Baker of the University and Gen. Nelson A. Miles headed the procession, followed by Troop D of the state cavalry and the students in cap and gown. On reaching the grounds the students passed in review before General Miles and President Baker and took the seats reserved for them in the auditorium, amid the cheers of the audience. Rev. E. G. Lane gave the invocation and after music President Baker briefly introduced General Miles as the orator of the day, who spoke on "Our Country and the Respulsibilities and Possibilities of Our Citizens." DENVER GRAND JURY To Investigate Franchise Election Fraud Charges. Denver.—The unfinished details of the business in the criminal division of the West Side court in connection with the petition for a grand jury to investigate alleged election frauds and the superseding of several officers in connection with that body, were completed by Judge Mullins Wednesday forenoon. The court entered formal orders for the calling of the grand jury; for the setting aside of District Attorney Stidger from advising with the grand jury; Sheriff Nisbet and Coroner Rollins from summoning the jurors. Judge Mullins' orders adjudged William T. Davoren, Fred A. Williams and J. T. Brady guilty of contempt of court for refusing to be sworn as witnesses. Davoren and Williams were each fined $250 and costs and Brady's penalty was fixed at $50. The court granted a stay of five days to the attorneys that they might perfect their appeal to the Supreme Court on behalf of the persons adjudged guilty of contempt and for the superseded officials. Says President Will Come. Washington.—William E. Curtis today announced that President Roosevelt, Secretaries Taft, Shaw, Bonaparte, Wilson and some other members of the cabinet, perhaps, have promised to attend the centennial anniversary of the discovery of Pike's Peak at Colorado Springs in September. The President will make one of his characteristic speeches. Several of the cabinet will also speak. The secretary of state would like very much to go, but he will be in Rio Janeiro in attendance upon the Pan-American conference at that time. In addition to the visitors named by Mr. Curtis, it is known that Vice-President Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon, who will be the guests of Thomas F. Walsh, will attend the Pike centennial, and with their presence Colorado will have at the proposed celebration all candidates for the next Republican Presidential nomination at present being discussed.

A CRITICAL PERIOD INTELLIGENT WOMEN PREPARE Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without reason? How many women realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without reason? If her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dizziness, headache, dread of impending evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chestertown, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham, says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I had been suffering with a displacement for years and was passing through the change of life. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy cells, headaches, and was very nervous. I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me, and I were safely through the change of life a well woman." For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful to ailting women. all inflamed, ulcerated and catarrhal conditions of the mucous membrane such as nasal catarrh, uterine catarrh caused by feminine ills, sore throat, sore mouth or inflamed eyes by simply dosing the stomach. But you surely can cure these stubborn affections by local treatment with which destroys the disease germs,checks discharges, stops pain, and heals the inflammation and soreness. Paxtine represents the most successful local treatment for feminine ilis ever produced. Thousands of women testify to this fact. 50 cents at druggists. Send for Free Trial Box THE R.

"Since the year 1894 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It itched so I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases." Thomas M. Rossiter, 290 Prospect Street, East Orange, N. J. Mar. 30, 1905. PERHAPS IT CURED HIM Maybe the Wife Had Been Out, Maybe Not, the Effect Was Capt. Mark Casto was being congratulated on his gift of $1,500 from the Carnegie here fund for bravery in the wreck of the Cherokee, relates the New York Tribune. "The gift was unexpected," said Capt. Casto with a modest smile. "It was as unexpected, though by no means as unpleasant, as the retort that a wife made to her husband when he came home at three o'clock in the morning. "The man came home very quietly. In fact, he took off his shoes on the front doorstep. Then he unlocked the door and went cautiously and slowly upstairs on his tiptoe, holding his breath. "But light was streaming through the kephole of the door of the bed room. With a sigh he paused. Then he opened the door and entered. "His wife stood by the bureau fully dressed." "I didn't expect you'd be sitting up for me, my dear," he said. "I haven't been," she said. 'I just came in myself.'" He Pitied Them. A little boy was on his first country excursion, relates the Brooklyn Citizen. Some birds were flying high overhead, and his hostess, a young woman, said: "Look up, Tommy.

There is a pretty revival of certain good old styles, for instance the old-fashioned bertha or fichu is an article of dress that one can but approve. It finishes off the costume, allows one to wear a thin summer dress without the addition of a wrap. Most dresses look unfinished on the street if no wrap is worn, but the fichu takes the place of boa or coatee, or whatever the frivolous pretense of outdoor apparel. Other good points belong to the fichu; it may be added to an old frock and quite redeem it; it looks so modest and dainty, when made of fine lawn and well shaped; it hides deficiencies of the figure. Usually with it a deep girdle should be worn, a narrow belt and a fichu are not in harmony. It is very effective as part of a flowered muslin costume, then very like the gowns grandmamma were, wherefore picturesque and piquant, giving the modern young woman some flavor of the stately days of old. The Empire modes are assuredly quaint—when they are not impossible. And the mob caps, the lingerie hats, generally becoming as well as picturesque. By the way, at the shops you ask for a wash hat, and what are you apt to be shown? One of those hideous things of stiff frame, huge sailor effect, with all-over embroidery drawn tight over brim and crown, and the trimming as stiff and ugly as the rest of the make-up. If you really want a lingerie hat, you must inquire for children's wash hats; from among them make your selection. But there is a sufficient variety, a lot of pretty ones to choose from. I examined them the other day, and though de- Some of the Summer Blouses A notable change in the lingerie blouse of to-day is that not a few are made with a low neck; even on the street one sees the Dutch neck, and even a lower cut. For house wear this is pretty, but not at all suitable for general public gaze. Of course with the low blouse is worn some ornamentation on the bare neck THE LOW-NECK IN FAVOR. this the day of beads and chains and shell necklaces, etc. and various sorts are noticed. The small Roman pearls are pretty, a black velvet ribbon with small pendent attractive, and the tiniest gold chain with accompanying tiny locket dainty. The other day we saw a young, darkeyed woman whose soft fuff of hair was prematurely gray gave her an air almost worth the premature whitening of the dark locks—and with her white mull blouse cut with a round Dutch neck she wore a string of large amber beads. Effective, a happy touch. Her friend, a brown-haired girl with eyes of gentian blue, likewise wore a thin white, and her only ornament was the most delicate chain of blue beads, a flat chain pressed by the prices was enamored of the prettiness. There were big hopping piques elaborately braided, ground the crown some soft folds of pale blue liberty silk drawn and a great bow a little to the right in front. Then there were hand-embroidered blue linens, their trimming white silk. Fussy affairs of chiffon did not appeal to me, I much preferred the kind that were really washable—having such a horror of unclean finery, which every fastidious person must have who lives in a big dirty town. The all-over embroidery hats were charming, about the edge of the hat a dainty frill of lace. Then there were chapeaus of innumerable frills of lace, but they, too, belonged with the too-fussy. The summer girl is much more attractive in the simple and neat than in the over-elaboration. How pretty she looks of a morning coming down the avenue in her tubfrock of white linen, as crisp and fresh as can be. Her skirt is untrimmed, her waist a white tailored linen with lay-down collar, a handkerchief pocket at the left; the coat short, just to the waist line, the skirt sensibly, cleanly short. White sheer and stockings she wears, and up aloft floats a white linen parasol. In the afternoon this same costume may appear—for a white frock looks dressy no matter how simple—or she may wear one of those lovely new mixtures of silk and cotton, a distinctly 1906 product; the material comes in most delicate shades, and our summer girl wears this year only delicate shades, the streets are very gay with illacs and pale grays, light azures and'exquisite pinks. with tiny pendant here and the.6 The girl may have made it herself from some original design, and doubtless it was inexpensive, but certainly it was lovely. As we said before, there are many ways in which waists are cut out at the neck. The one but slightly square is a pretty fashion; the one with a slight dip in front just below the chin, another style meeting with favor. The design shown here is that of a blouse with quite a deep cut, to be worn for dressy occasions. Lingerie blouses to go with accordion-plated suits are a feature of the day, and gives daintiness to the jaunty costumes. A new touch is the introduction of lace under mull, the trimming snowing through, looking shadowy and illusive, just the thing for the illusion-like waist. Of course all sleeves are short, and the way of finishing the neck may be followed in the finish of the sleeve. For instance, a blouse with a square neck edged with insertion will have a puffed sleeve with simple band of insertion, the sleeve stopping above the elbow, having no drill at the bottom. The surplice waist with low-cut V is pretty, and becoming to the woman with a plump neck. Many of the sleeves stop well above the elbow. One pretty silk bodice had a longish puff of a sleeve edged with rows of shirring and a frill, from inside the frill extended a close cuff of lace, the lace coming just to the elbow. Another waist had a similar sleeve, but the lace was omitted, the sleeve very short. Some of the blouses are accompanied by removable chemisettes; one may have at choice high neck or low. And of course this may be carried out in the sleeves, detachable undersleeves made use of. Almost all the summer frocks for young girls are made with short sleeves. One pretty model has a rather full sleeve confined above the elbow by up and down tucks, the frill flaring being a part of the sleeve, the tucks stitched just so far. And becoming to the round, girlish arm is the puff with insertion band a little above the elbow. There is also a neat sleeve, a sort of Bishop, which is three-quarter length. The sensible, all-round useful shirt waist should be made taller or style and with a long sleeve. ELLEN OSMOND "Get the Habit" 820 15th Street, Day Between Champa and Stout.

If a lobby it means the openly recognized interests of legitimate interests which may be less likely or advantageously by proposed legislation good thing for a legislature. How far the kind of interests by a lobby should go, and in what forms it should be restricted and its appeals should be prevented from taking improper influence, monetary or otherwise detail.

How far this representation of interests by a lobby should go, and to what extent and in what forms it should be restricted and regulated so that its appeals should be prevented from taking the shape of improper influence, monetary or otherwise, are matters of detail. An honest legislator will know when to apply the extinguisher to the individual lobbyist who approaches too near. If, on the other hand, by a lobby is meant an organized body engaged in the effort to secure favorable, or to prevent unfavorable, legislation to interests which are ready to corrupt legislators to gain their profitable ends, not only is that kind of lobby not needed, but its influence is distinctly pernicious. The kind of lobby which supplies proper information to legislators concerning the probable effects of proposed legislation is a good thing, because there are so many members of every legislature for whom it is simply impossible, unassisted, to acquaint themselves completely with all the sides of proposed legislation. The important committees are crowded with business, the greater part of which could never be properly disposed of if the information concerning all phases of the purposes of bills were not supplied by the interests to be affected by the legislation. There is no danger that the overworked legislator who attends his committee hearings faithfully, and who conscientiously inquires into every bill, will be affected by corrupt influences or fail to profit by the right kind of a lobby. It is the member who strolls the corridors and gets his "information" from "agents" who are engaged persistently in similar exercise during the sessions of the legislature that is dangerous, because he is the man who is responsible for the existence of the wrong kind of a lobby. It is probable, however, that since a member of a legislature is only a man, and since no man is perfect, there is no such thing as a perfect legislator, and the motives that influence legislators are those which influence the average man, in the main decent and fair, in the exception open to criticism. There will always be influences that will improperly affect the conduct of men, in and out of the legislature, while on the whole the force of public opinion, the fear of the law, the natural disposition to be fair, the sense of responsibility which none of us can escape, will operate, as they Life Strength Moves the World By F.

Those who possess life-strength are strong, and, like the sturdy bark, they tempests of existence; those in whom it is wise to manifold risks and possibly premature death. Life's strength is not a gift or endowment; storage are largely dependent upon ourselves, lating a reserve of this force may be accomplished yet it is best when, like the performance of life, goes without the conscious aid of the mind. Everybody ought to be in possession of life-strength, an abundant stock available in life. As invested capital provides both an income a friend to fall back upon in case of need, life-strength serve a similar dual purpose. In exhausting disease, or suffering consequent to we stand in especial need of such a reserve of this kind of capital—this provident fund of happiness in health and in a large measure ex-lives.

The problem of indulging becomes difficult is to discover in what the source of vital power most readily so to live that the supply of life-strength equate to the needs of the whole body. storms and their attendant hardships. It is as wind and sail to the bark of our being, the life principle itself being comparable to the vessel's buoyancy. Those who possess life-strength in all its fullness are strong, and, like the sturdy bark, they are able to weather the tempests of existence; those in whom it is weak live feebly, exposed to manifold risks and possibly premature death. Life's strength is not a gift or endowment, for its generation and storage are largely dependent upon ourselves. The work of accumulating a reserve of this force may be accomplished by an effort of will; yet it is best when, like the performance of our natural functions, it goes without the conscious aid of the mind. Everybody ought to be in possession of a large reserve of this life-strength, an abundant stock available in every kind of emergency. As invested capital provides both an income for present necessity and a friend to fall back upon in case of need, so should our storage of life-strength serve a similar dual purpose. Not only in sickness from exhausting disease, or suffering consequent upon severe accident, do we stand in especial need of such a reserve of force, but possession of this kind of capital—this provident fund of energy—will enhance our happiness in health and in a large measure extend the duration of our lives. The strength of life is derivable from several sources. Some men live by mind-force, some by nerve force, others by muscular energy, and not a few exclusively by the gratification of their animal appetites. Life is capable of being expressed in forms or trains of actions apparently widely differing in character. Hence we speak of the forms and orders of life as composing a successive series of grades, rising from the lowest conceivable spark of vitality to the full blaze of intellectual genius. Life in man energizes the whole of his compound being, whether expressed in simple growth by nutrition or glowing in the living thought of poet or statesman. The problem of individual life when the task of living becomes difficult is to discover in what particular direction lies the source of vital power most readily accessible and productive, and so to live that the supply of life-strength through that channel is adequate to the needs of the whole body. The Living Wage for Women By MRS. J. G. PHELPS STOKES. Only a rich girl can tell what a "living wage" is. There is a "starvation wage," and I don't doubt that six dollars just about represents it, but that not living. Girls who have leisure, good food, clothes, and opportu-nities for culture know what it is to live. Trade unions are excellent in making the of her economic condition, and that of her can never solve the problem. Just as soon increase in wages, this automatically compre the cost of living, and the advance in wages is socialism can improve permanently that girl's ions are excellent in making the working life condition, and that of her fellow women be the problem. Just as soon as they wages, this automatically compels a generation, and the advance in wages is dissipated. Improve permanently that girl's condition. Trade unions are excellent in making the working girl conscious of her economic condition, and that of her fellow workers, but they can never solve the problem. Just as soon as they have forced an increase in wages, this automatically compels a general increase in the cost of living, and the advance in wages is dissipated. Nothing but socialism can improve permanently that girl's condition.
