THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY GREATNESS And Its True Meaning Logically Defined. In this Word the Negro is Compared as Being Equal to any People on Earth. VOL. XII. GREAT And Its True Meaning Logic the Negro is Compar any People Is greatness a virtue? It would seem that it is not considered abstractly. Greatness is the state of being great, that is, a great scholar a great philosopher or great debater. It may be, and possibly is that greatness is attained by some virtuous acts, for instance, a great scholar must acquire the habit of study, the philosopher must acquire the habit of research and thought, a great debater must of necessity be a logician and have the art of sifting propositions and sylogisms in order to discover the falacies of arguments. We have said that these qualities are the stepping stones to greatness in the abstract; but greatness of itself is not a virtue. The conclusion is then that great men are not good because they are great, they may be great because they are good, but goodness is a virtue in itself. There are three things which must enter into and become a part of an individual that he may become great after the fashion of Jesus Christ. First, he must be truthful; second, he must be honest; third, he must be moral. A great race must therefore, have individual greatness, and wherever a race preponderates in greatness, it is because of its individual greatness. If we would stop to make a selection of what we call great men, from all the races, selecting ten in number; the Negro would be the equal of any ten men or women of any race on earth. This statement may be questioned and possibly disputed, but we say that out of ten millions of Negroes in this country, there can be found ten who will equal ten from any other race on the face of the globe. Of course there may be a difference along some given line, but in the aggregate, the Negro would even up, and yet our opportunities have not been the same. The white man has behind him thousands of years of what the world calls greatness, an ancestry of which to boast, of achievements and victories of which any people should be proud. Over against theirs, the Negro has nothing of which he can be proud; but the providence of God in pergetuating his life by giving him an endurance which is simply wonderful. We are sowing for our posterity, while the whites are reaping theirs and if upon such heights, we must sow, what must the harvest be, greater heights of course. The dominant people of this country are not all great people, of course they dominate as a whole, as the Caucasian race; but the few good and great among them are their main stake as can be attested by their history. Their good blood is tracable through periods of hundreds and thousands of years. When the Negro will have put behind him a thousand years, he will have wiped out every trace of what seems to be the line of demarkation now. It is only a question of time in the accomplishment of anything. The greatness of the people whom we serve was not acquired in a day it took years of toil and patience to reach the heights upon which they stand to-day and we can and must go up the same; but must make the distance in a shorter time, and if we would, we must make good and great men an individual greatness, family greatness, community greatness, and on and on until the crime of rape shall not be heard in all of this fair land of ours, and until the lynchers' arms are paralyzed and his maddened brain is benumed, then shall America enter the highway which leads to the sunlit hills of God's glory whose effulgence shall shade in darkness the history—yes the human history, of our times and doings.—Sunday School Monitor. WHITE RAPIST Assaults Five-year-old Child in St Louis, Mo. The St. Louis Sentinel says: J. E. Hall is charged with assaulting Myrtle Hammett, the 5 year-old daughter of Mrs. Pearl Bushing, of 910 North First street, Sunday morning, after he had enticed the girl into his room by promise of money and candy. He is also charged with assaulting 9-year-old Millie King, three weeks ago in a similar manner. Millie is the daughter of Brownie King a DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1906. stockman employed at the horse market at the National Stock Yards, living at 110 Duchess Lane. Mrs. Bushing discovered her daughter's condition Sunday afternoon when she complained of being sick and refused to eat. Dr. Cables was called, and after an examination, the facts were told to the mother. When she questioned the girl, she told of being in Hall's room Sunday morning, and charged him with the assault. Hall lived in a room next door, in the same house with the Bushings. Sunday he had moved and now livos in a rear room of the Bushing home. Little Myrtle Hammet is in a serious condition, her fever Monday morning registered 101. SIMPLE JUSITCE Is all the Negro Demands of the American White Man. If the Negroes who represent character and culture received greater credit for it at the hands of our white friends they might be relied upon to do a little more in the direction of reforming what is known "as the lower class" among them, but when it is insisted that there is no difference between them, when real good colored are deprived of the accommodation and esteem, which should be a sure and certain reward for upright conduct it is quite natural for them to grow careless with regard thereto. Our plea is "if simple justice is done to the good and well meaning Negro, he will contribute as much to the preservation of good government, obedience to law and order, and the evolution to Christian conduct as any other people under the sun. Let our white friends resolve to help us stimulate our more illiterate and less responsible people to grow better, and the millenium of peace will dawn upon us, as the sun-beams fall from the heavens above. "Honor to whom honor is due" is the text, and the sermon preaches itself. The strong white race, with centuries of culture and freedom behind it and a firm and steady discipline finds many oddities and abstractions, many strange and grave peculiarities within itself and many aggravating conditions which it would like to see altered and improved, but its preachers, editors, orators, historians and poets never censure and condemn the whole race for the conduct of the more worthless and less responsible element therein. On that principle let them deal with our race, and every member of it will feel encouraged to make the post of honor a public station. Then, and not until then, will the races become truly friendly to each other and strive together to make a peaceable commonwealth, wherein all men of every creed and nation, race and color kindred and tongue shall be happy and contented.— Nat. Baptist Union. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The Negroes of Houston, Texas, are planning to open a bank Jan. 1. How some stunningly dressed girls can look so clean sweet and wholesome coming from the untidy home they often do is one of the unsolved mysteries of our social system. Haven't you a case in mind? A white lady was caught at the Labor Day picnic in Austin, Texas passing a $10 counterfeit bill on a little girl and receiving $9.75 good money in change. The color of her skin saved her from being arrested. The talented Sutton E. Griggs, in his "Hindres Hand," has met Dixon upon his own battlefield, outclassed him in reason and argument, thereby proving that the white man needs to learn from the Negro how to write novels and paint true pictures, and to tell nothing but the truth. William Jones a Negro jeweller of Newark, N. J. is employed at DuBand's, one of the largest jewelery firms in the East, and has been with this one company for 28 years. He has made wedding rings for some of the wealthiest and most fashionable people in the country and is considered by his employers to be an expert. Lewis Horton, a colored man of Guilford College, declares he is 115 years old. The old man visits Winston-Salem, N. C., occasionally. He is as chirp as a cricket, and talks knowingly of things 100 years ago. Dr. D. N. Dalton, of Winstod-Salem, has known Lewis for 40 years. The doctor well remembers when Lewis worked for his father, and says that even then he was an old man, and is sure that he was at least 50. A storm of protest has been stirred up over the action of the New York Zoo authorities in exhibiting Ota Benga, an African pigmy, in the monkey cage every afternoon. The colored Baptist Ministers' Association has appointed a committee of clergymen to investigate. Rev. G. H. Gordon, spokesmsn of the committee, said: "We intend to ask the mayor to put a step to this disgraceful exhibition. If he refuses, we will call an indignation meeting of all the members of our race in this city to make a protest." The Austin, (Texas) Watchman says: "Supt. Young of the Street Railway Co. informed the City Council Monday night that his company was not able to pave the avenue from 3rd street to the river because the receipts of the company the past year only amounted to $110,000 while the expenses were about 175,000 dollars. They hate to confess it but the Negro boycott has greatly effected the finance of the company. We only regret that Mayor Shelly and the members of the Council are not stockholders in the company so that we could make them pay for their prejudice. union Negro labor on public buildings, especially on the White house. Hinton, W. Va., Sept. 11. As the result of a pitched battle between Negroes and Italian laborers employed by Shenahan & Ireland, contractors at work for the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad at Allegheny tunnel today, Lloyd Peterson is dead, John Lewis and Peter Carameli cannot possibly recover, and nine others are seriously injured. The fight started over Peterson, a Negro foreman ordering an Italian to assist a Negro laborer in some trivial task. The Italian not understanding paid no attention and Peterson kicked and then knocked him down. In an instant both crews were at each other with knives picks and crows Thomas H. Amos, colored, president of Harbison College, a coeducational institution for Negroes at Abbeville S. C., supported by the Northern Presbyterian church was waited upon recently by citizens of Abbeville and requested to leave the town on account of language used in his last commencement address. He said Negro women had brought white women to the kitchens, and hoped that they would soon bring them to the wash-tub. Amos telegraphed from Baltimore that one of the directors would soon arrive at Abbeville to take charge of the institution. At a meeting of the City Council at San Antonio, Texas, the Alderman went into discussion of the race question, with the final decision that they would not invite the Negro Odd Fellows to the city. The discussion resulted from a petition from the local colored Odd Fellows, asking that the next district convention be invited. It was lost by a vote of 11 to 1. Those supporting the refusal stated that they could come if they wanted to, but that this is a white man's country, and that they believed in Negroes staying in their places. To invite them looked too much like social equality. Washington, Sept. 15.—That the plastering work on the White house walls is being done by nonunion Negro plasterers became known today when Geo. Bacon representing the Plasterers' union of the District of Columbia, called on Francis Gillen, who has charge of the work in the absence of Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds Bromwell, for an explanation as to why union labor was not employed. Bacon protested against the work being done by non-union men, and was told by Mr. Gillen that the reason therefore was that the work could be done much cheaper under these conditions. The Plasterers' union will meet Monday night, when, it is believed resolutions will be passed condemning the employment of non- NO. 52. Hinton, W. Va., Sept. 11.—As the result of a pitched battle between Negroes and Italian laborers employed by Shenahan & Ireland, contractors at work for the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad at Allegheny tunnel today, Lloyd Peterson is dead, John Lewis and Peter Carameli cannot possibly recover, and nine others are seriously injured. The fight started over Peterson, a Negro foreman ordering an Italian to assist a Negro laborer in some trivial task. The Italian not understanding paid no attention and Peterson kicked and then knocked him down. In an instant both crews were at each other with knives, picks and crowbars. The Italian, attacked by Peterson, shot the foreman through the stomach and liver with a Colt revolver and in turn had his skull crushed by a crowbar in the hands of another Negro. The fatally wounded were taken to the Holly hospital at Hinton, while others, who will recover, are under the car of a physician in the railroad camp. THE HELLO ARGUMENT. The history of telephone competition, so-called, is now so plain that he who runs may read a warning. An analysis in any of the larger cities where a second telephone system has been permitted to gain a foot-hold shows that, rather than increasing the facilities of the business man, and reducing his expense, the exact contrary is true. In Philadelphia, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Toledo, Kansas City, and other towns of similar size, an anlysis of the telephone directories of the old and new system proves conclusively that from fifty-five to eighty per cent. of the business men are obliged to subscribe for service from both companies. The promoter has invariably used the argument that the introduction of a second telephone system will compel the Bell Company already in the field to reduce its rates to such a point that the service may be obtained from both companies at the same rate, or even less than prevailed when the Bell alone was in the field. That this is not true, and that the expense to the business man is greatly increased may be readily proven by a discussion of the matter with any of the business men in the cities above mentioned. In addition it will be learned that a further inconvenience results through the annoyance and delay occasioned by consulting two books and answering two beils. Denver business men have done well to keep the lesson so bitterly learned by the business men elsewhere.

EIGHT HOUR DAY EIGHT HOUR DAY FEWER HOURS OF WORK FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYES. SCOPE OF LAW IS EXTENDED President Orders That It Apply to All Government Work—River and Harbor Improvements Chiefly Affected by Change—Commissioner of Labor Reports That Contractors Show More Respect for Law. Oyster Bay, L. I.—President Roosevelt has extended the eight-hour law to apply to all public work under the supervision of any department of the government. The order affects more particularly work on river and harbor improvements. Charles P. Neill, commissioner of labor, who at the direction of the President, has had charge since last winter of the enforcement of the eight-hour law, has sent to the President a report of which the following is the concluding paragraph: "I might add here that I found that one very noticeable effect has already been produced in this matter of the eight-hour law. Contractors fully realize now that the law is going to be enforced with earnestness and they no longer dismiss it as a matter of no consequence. They probably like the law less than ever, but their attitude none the less is rapidly changing into one of becoming respect for the statute." To carry out Commissioner Neill's recommendations the President has to day signed the following executive order: "1. All departments of the government under the supervision of which public works are being constructed, are hereby directed to notify the representatives stationed at such public works to report at once to their respective departments all cases in which contractors, or sub-contractors on works now under construction have required or permitted laborers or mechanics in their employ to work over eight hours in any one calendar day. "2. All government representatives in charge of construction of public works are further directed that it is part of their duty to report to the respective departments each and every case in which laborers or mechanics are required or permitted to work over eight hours a day on the works under supervision of such government representatives. Wherever reports showing work in excess of eight hours a day are received by any department they are to be referred to the Department of Justice for appropriate action. "3. All departments of the government under the supervision of which public works are being constructed by contract are further directed to have their representative legal officers prepare and forward to the President a list of such statutes and executive orders as have a direct bearing on contracts for the construction of public works, and with which bidders on such works should be made acquainted." NEW YORK PRIMARIES. Odell Defeated by Parsons and Murphy Wins Over McClellan. New York.—In a bitter clash of opposing forces in to-day's primaries in New York county, Congressman Herbert M. Parsons, president of the New York county committee, won a sweeping victory for the control of the Republican organization, while Leander Charles Murphy of Tammany hall retained his position at the head of the organization by a narrow margin. The Parsons victory in the Republican party was a complete rout for the faction led by State Chairman B. B. Odell, Jr., and Lamuel E. Quigg, Mr. Parsons had the backing of President Roosevelt and Governor Higgins. He telephoned to the President at Oyster Bay to-night telling him of the victory, and received Mr. Roosevelt's warmest congratulations. "This means," said Mr. Parsons to night, "that Mr. Odell will not succeed himself as state chairman." In the Democratic battle Leader Murphy had the fight of his life. The friends of Mayor McClellan had banded together to wrest the control of Tammany hall from Murphy, and were nearly successful in doing so. While Mr. Murphy is accredited with a victory on the face of the returns, some of the leaders recorded as Murphy men are not pronounced in the affiliation and may swing the result around when the test really comes in the county convention. STEEL MARKET GOOD. Encouraging Reports From all Branches of the Industry. New York.—The Iron Age to-morrow will say: The drift is unmistakably upward, and it is apparent that some of the conservative interests who have been fighting the advances are less active in opposition. The consumption, present and prospective, is enormous, and the buying is on a large scale. No better evidence of this can be furnished than the fact that during the first two weeks of the current month the United States Steel Corporation booked an average of 60,000 tons a day, which contracts with a capacity of 33,000 tons a day. Complaints of scarcity of labor come from all sections of the country. Further large orders for steel cars are in sight. The Vanderbilt lines expect to close for over 20,000 steel cars during the next day or two, and some other large transactions are pending. On the lakes five new boats have been contracted for, two of them for delivery during 1908. Structural work is coming out steadily. The most interesting, though not most important transaction of this character, refers to a number of steel buildings for San Francisco, the tonnage aggregating 5,000 tons. The work was taken by the American Bridge Company. For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Chat. H. Flatcher.

Obtaining an education or winning success in any field is a question of internal energy, of enthusiasm, or of unfoldment of power, and is the development of push and determination rather than the result of any external influences. The people who attribute their want of success to lack of friends to help them on, or their lack of education to absence of opportunities, are simply exposing their weakness of character.—Success. Black Teeth. Emigrants from southern Italy are, many of them, disfigured by what is known as "black teeth." The teeth of these persons are affected during the period of growth by some gaseous constituent of drinking water, probably from impregnation with volcanic vapors. The defect often gives a sinister look to an otherwise handsome face, but fortunately does not, it seems, affect the strength or durability of the teeth. Noted Barber Is Dead. Portland, Me., has lost its most famous barber in the death of John B. Pike. In his time he shaved Grant, Sheridan and Garfield. Ben Butter was almost fond of him. Judge Clifford used to spend a morning hour in the office to have John tell him the news and save him the trouble of reading the paper. Blaine and Tom Reed and Neal Dow were good friends to the clever barber. A. Minor Trouble "Did yo' heah 'bout our bad luck? No?

Havana.—In the course of a conversation Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon, the American peace envoy, had with President Palma at the palace Wednesday Messrs. Taft and Bacon subscribed to the sentiments set forth in President Roosvelt's letter and expressed the hope that their visit would contribute to the establishment of peace. In reply to questions by Messrs. Taft and Bacon, President Palma reviewed the various aspects of the electoral problem in Cuba. Asked whether the government had taken steps to effect a compromise, the President replied in the negative, saying that the government had limited itself to assisting the efforts of the veterans, without taking an active part in the negotiations. Secretary Taft then asked if any revolutionary demands had been directly affected by these negotiations. President Palma said in reply that the program of the revolutionists included the absolute annulment of the last elections and that, if by compromise it should be agreed to hold partially new elections, he, Palma, would no longer continue as executive, because his prestige would suffer, and to do so would be a drawback to a constitutional form of government. Referring to the efforts being made to bring about peace, President Pulma said he had left that matter to the political parties. On receipt of President Roosevelt's letter the government had limited itself to suspension of hostilities. The President added that in his judgment Congress should pass an electoral law which would amply guarantee both parties; also a municipal election law under which elections would be held next January, the government to preserve strict impartiality. THE HONG KONG TYPHOON Reported That Thousands Perished—Scores of Vessels Wrecked. Manila.—Latest advices from Hong Kong state that 5,000 lives were lost during the typhoon and that the damage to property, public and private will amount to millions of dollars. Twelve vessels were sunk, twenty-four were stranded, seven were damaged and one-half of the native craft in port were sunk. The shipping trade has been paralyzed through lack of lighters. Hong Kong.—The typhoon which swept this port destroying a great number of vessels and causing much loss of life, was of a local nature. It came suddenly and without warning. The observatory had predicted moderate winds. Half an hour after the gun signal had been fired the storm was at its height. It lasted two hours. Most of the damage done was wrought on the Kowloon peninsula. The losses are estimated at several million dollars. Oven one thousand sampans and junks are missing from Hong Kong alone. Wharves were swept away and houses collapsed. The military bartracks are in ruins. The harbor is strewn with wreckage thrown upon the shore. Hundreds of Chinese boatmen and their families were saved by the bravery of the police and civilians, but several thousand of the Chinese water dwellers must have perished, many within a short distance of the shore. The losses in lives and property among the Chinese were appalling. To-day the police stations of Kong Kong are surrounded by Chinese identifying their dead. The families of the Hong Kong boatmen live night and day on the sampans and thousands of these people are now homeless. Many valuable steel lighters have been lost. Some of them were hurled ashore. Channels will have to be dug to permit some of the vessels ashore to be refloated. The force of the wind and waves was such that some vessels were stranded almost high and dry. SCOTCH EXPRESS WRECKED. Jumps Off a Bridge, Causing Death of Several People. London.—The crowded Scotch express train on the Great Northern railway, leaving London Wednesday night, was wrecked just outside of Grantham. The train should have stopped at Grantham, but failed to do so. Shortly after passing the station the train left the rails and jumped a bridge. The engine and several coaches were dashed over the embankment, the engine turning turtle. Several coaches immediately took fire. At 5 o'clock this morning it was officially stated that ten persons had been killed and sixteen injured. There are many passengers beneath the debris. Of ten extricated five have died. At the spot where the express was detailed there is a curve and it is supposed the brakes failed to act. A later report states that the engineer and fireman are dead under the engine, that the superintendent of the mail car is missing and that several infused persons have been taken to the hospital. Army Officer Charged With Dishonesty Manila—Capt. Iva L. Fredenall of the quartermaster's department has been charged in the court of first instance in this city with misappropriation of public funds. The filing of these charges is the culmination of extensive investigations by the insular authorities into an alleged series of frauds perpetrated by members of the quartermaster's department in the Philippines. The inquiry resulted in the discovery of paid pay rolls in quartermaster's shops and grafting in the lease of lighters. Both officers and civilians are implicated and courtsmartial will follow the court proceedings. Major General Wood continued the inquiry originally begun by Major General Corbin. The result of the investigation has been a great saving in transportation funds and a decrease in graft, such as the manufacture of furniture, etc., in the shops for the private use of officers and civilians. High officials in the army and government are said to have been the beneficiaries.

At present the political horizon in city and state is a trifle misty, but the clouds will soon break away and the sun will display its bright orb to a multitude of ad- miring spectators. Then we shall see that Colorado has had one of the most prosperous years in its history. The earth is fairly bur- dened with its increase. Farmers are rejoicing, the market is steady and everybody is busy, and we have not as much to complain of as we thought. In the meantime every voter will be making hay if he gets registered and has his friends and neighbors to register, and like the farmer be ahead of the game. At the last election many voters could not express their choice because they neglected to register. Don’t let this mistake oceur again but be ready to elect good men to office. The stand-pat- ters, the prepared men are not whiners, but ready when the op- portunity offers to do their duty and reap the reward. The Colo- rado Statesman believes in every voter being on the firing line and not shirking in the rear, afraid to meet the conflict. Get your ac- coutrement in order, the battle is more than half won when every- thing is in perfect readiness. FEAR AN AWFUL ENEMY OF LIFE. Have you ever thought what a destructive weapon fear is? Last week an eminent operator of ap- pendicitis himself died of the disease of which he was an expert. Not long since in this city an au- thority on germs and bacteria died of typhoid diptheria, which had its genesis in microbes and germs. Still more recently an expert in nervous diseases died of nervous brain affection and coupled with these cases mentioned, the papers this week tell us of the death of General Trepoff, the eruel and heartless tyrant of the Czar of Russia, of whom it was predicted he would be killed in his own bed and who, though a terrorist to others, died of fright for his own life, which leads us to observe that those active in a given occupation and expert in certain procedures, themselves succumb to the force of things they most fear for others. Another instance of the working of this law was in the death of a chemist engaged in the invention of a new and fearful destructive to be used in war that would be more destructive than dynamite, gun cotton and nitroglyserine put together, yet he was blown to atoms by his new foree on the very eve of its perfection. He feared beforehand that he would be the first victim and his fears became true. How many people mortally fear tuberculosis and die of the very disease they so much feared? Fear is more potent than the as- sassins knife. Fear smallpox and your fear will come upon you. It James C. Carter declared ilat the American people are afflicted with a passion for legislation amounting almost to a disease. It is undeni- ably true that the average mind believes in the possibility of remedy- ing every evil by statutory enactmeitt. ‘That this idea is a false and dangerous one, all human experience attests. It is a significant, perhaps ominous, evidence of the changes in the popular idea of the legislative function, to note the vastly increased range of subjects with which our statutes now deal. ‘They are becoming largely—too largely. I think— merely administrative and regulative: establishing rules for the direction and control of business activities, drawing lines of separation between that which is, and always was permissible, and that which shall no longer be so; establishing boards and commissions; and providing for a scru- tiny which, more and more, pries into affairs that once were supposed to pertain exclusively to the individual primarily interested. All this is more or less irritating, for the shrinkage in the individual liberty involved in it hurts. But it is folly to suppose that modern life can go on with its ever increasing complexity, and legislators be dumb and silent. When lég- islators are considering a subject with which they may rightfully deal, the temptation is strong upon them to go further than is necessary, or proper, but this is an infirmity of human nature. I do not believe in laissez faire, and yet as we know, a very large number of statutes are enacted for no reason whatever except to gratify the ambition of some legislator to have his name attached to a law. Every act passed, adds more or less to the individual “shrinkage” of which Maeterlinck speaks, but often without any corresponding advan- tage-to organized society, and undoubtedly the citizen gets the worst of the bargain whenever this happens. only satisfied with adding to all this a study of great cities and the peoples, while they seek to find the in‘luence that has brought about existing con- ditions. * If scenery satisfies the iravelér, he can find nothing more wonder- ful in Europe than here at home, and he must go to South America to ‘be impressed with the works of nature. But if he earnestly secks fo make his travel of benefit in the widest sense, if he goes up and down the world to learn to know why we are such a remarkable people, why we are able to work the miracles we do, and why there is a giant force in patriotic sentiment—then he must go where an older civilization has lessons to teach him. ‘There is a world of suggeation in the remains of the missions in Texas and California, but how can we understand the story of theiz mute and broken walls till we hear the musical jangle of old bells in Mexico and Spain, and see the simple life of a people identically like that which once went on among these picturesque ruins! It is only after we are familiar with the influence of the lives and efforls of great patriots, scholars and reformers from the earliest times, that we can appreciate such historie spots as the Alamo in San ‘Antonio and the sublime courage of Dayid Crockett. Every site and monument that commemorates a noble deed or a not. able life appeals to us with a stronger force when through travel we have learned to appreciate the lessons these teach. ‘The mere name of La Salle street, in Chicago, if we are familia with France, calls up a vivid picture of the active life And valuable work of Robert La Salle and his tragie death in Texas. It is not till an American has fallen under the spell of the burial place of Napoleon Bonaparte that he ean thoroughly feel the silent fore« that comes from the tomb of Grant—a force that will be vital a thousand and more years after we are gone, And not alone must we know Europe, but the far east calls us, with its older problems and lessons, and we learn that we are helping power. fully in a great scheme for human advancement. This we often forget in our rush and hurry, and it is very natural that we should gain this im- pression that we are creating a new condition of things, and that we can live and stand alone. Travel is certainly the best school of this age, and we Americans are its keenest pupils. give us a few lessons. Nature says work is the law of life—that if a mam wants anything he should work for it. She lifts her sweet voice against gambling and™betting. Nature is always honest and pays us back in the kind we give and manifold more than we give her. We sow in hand- fuls; she gives us wagon loads in return. There is no risk or speculation in her wages. What we sow we reap. Her mighty dumb laws speak out in majesty. The soul that sinneth must suffer, and each man must reap the harvest of his own sowing. What ruin and distress and disgrace we witness because Nature’s voice and God’s law are not heeded. Young m:a, b- wise, be wise. z Ree seems a given irony of fate that our fears finally lay us low. Gen- eral Trepoff is an illustration of our subject. Master of a million soldiers and myriads of spies, dic- tator of a yast empire, hated by thousands and dreaded by liberty- loving peasants, crushing the very hope and spirit of patriotic pro- gressionists, himself dies at last of fear in a bomb-proof chamber at the Czar’s palace. Six attempts had been made to take his life. A doz#n revolts of the poor to rise had been ground under his merei- less iron heel, but what poison, dynamite, lead and steel had failed to effect—fear, a natural force at last accomplished. It is no detrae- tion of the potency of fear that it works by degrees, rather it in- ereases the horror. Little by lit- tle the ghostly power of fear did its work, spark by spark the proved courage of the soldier was worn away, until at: last his nerve was broken and death, the king of terrors, claimed him as his own. Killed by fear. Fear is not a thing to be laughed at. It ought to be gotten rid of, and one cannot get rid of it by resolving not to fear, that will only fix it upon the mind stronger, but get rid of it by doing deeds of kindness, thinking right thoughts, by allowing the mind to be engaged in different lines of endeavor, and fear will take its flight and allow you to live a normal life.

The Greaser Needed Money and He Got It but the Major and Jim Get the Gold. "Death Valley, I reckon, is richer in gold dust and human bones than any other gold fields in the country," said the major. "In the early days it was about an even break about whether an outfit returned alive or later on was found bleaching on the hot sand. It isn't half so dangerous now. "I reckon you all recall Jim Johnson, known in the early days as 'The Arizona Swede.' Jim wasn't a Swede, but he had light hair, and I guess the boys dubbed him that for fun. One night at The Needles I gets a hunch from a greaser about an abandoned night at The Needles I gets a hunch edge of the valley, and he shows me samples of ore that sure looked good to the eyes. "We gets confidential over our liquor, and the result is that I hands over $50 for a plan showing the exact location of the hole. He allows the owner went plumb locoed for food and water because he says he found human bones close by. Well, I hunts up Johnson, and together we manages to get grubstaked on the strength of the samples. We gets two horses and a burro, some grub, all the water we can carry and starts out. We wallers around that blistering hellhole for four days and at the end of that time we finds outsides with parched tongues, smarting eyes and canteens as hollow as a base drum. When we strikes camp that night the horses stand with heads hanging to the ground, lolling tongues and bloodshot eyes. Jim and me don't say nothing, but I reckon our thoughts were about the same. We were all in. "In the morning I goes over the plans to try and find a landmark. Nothing in sight. Just desert—hot, blistering, shimmering, hellish desert. North, south, east and west—just desert. Kind o' sudden like it dawns on me that we've been bunked proper. I goes over where Johnson is rollin' with the fever on his blanket and tells him to stick it out till I gets back. Then I mounts a wobbly horse and hikes for the mountains. All that day I travels through the sands of inferno, and till 12 o'clock that night, before I reaches water and some stuff the horse could eat. Early the next morning I starts back for Johnson. When I gets there I finds two blankets half buried in the sand, a dead horse and the burro standin' up half asleep. Johnson was gone. "I follows his tracks two miles west and finds him lying beside a spring of water. But the water was poison and Johnson had drank it. I gives him as decent. a burial as I could under the circumstances. "When I gets back to The Needles I ain't saying much nohow. I learns that my wrester friend has gone to Tucson, so down I goes to Tucson and hangs around for a few days careless like, restin' up." "Did you ever find him?" "Yes. I find him over in Bill Cumming's place one night watching a faro game." "Did you get even, major?" "Only partially. It was over too soon to get even proper." "What course did you take?" "What course did you take? "You all from the east are asking too many questions. Besides, the law says, doesn't it, that no man shall incriminate himself?" — Milwaukee Sentinel. Tennyson's Home. The Whitefriars club made its annual pilgrimage on Saturday, not with staff and cowl, but in its prettiest summer frocks and mounted in comfortable wagonettes. In this way it visited, seventy strong, Godalming, Haslemere and Hinhead, and by the kindness of Lord and Lady Tennyson drove over to Aldworth for tea, with the exception of a few pilgrims who chose to walk instead to Mr. Methuen's beautiful garden—probably with peas in their shoes, though they did not mention this, says the London Chronicle. The weather was at its best, and showed the very English home of the late laureate to perfection; and the band of visitors, which included Mrs. Tynan Hinkson, Sir William and Lady Treloar, Dr. Robertson Nicoll, Mr. Silas Hocking, Sir Robert Hudson and many others, took the usual pleasure of the literary pilgrim in fixing a poem to every bench they saw in the garden. Then they visited the library in which the poems were really written, and enthusiasts nipped pieces off the bay hedge for their pocket editions of "In Memoriam." Back as President. Rev. Dr. William H. S. Demarest, the new president of Rutgers college at New.Brunswick, N. J., is the first of the alumni of that institution to occupy the place. And Rutgers is not exactly a recent creation. It was founded in 1738 and for many years thereafter was a Dutch patronage. The name then was Queen's college and it cost Col. Henry Rutgers a gift of only $5,000 in a lean time for the institution some 80 years ago to have the name changed to his own. Done Again. "I bought your 'six best sellers,' said the customer in the book store. "Why, make it the 'six best sells'." SUITS OVER SMALL SUMS. Vital Principles Often Involved Where Amount Seems Trifling. A Georgia railroad and one of its patrons have got as far as the supreme court of that state with a lawsuit in which the sum of money at issue is 18 cents, but there is a principle involved which both sides are determined shall be settled for all time, says the Boston Transcript. In Atlanta, as in most cities south of New England, one can not enter a train without exhibiting a ticket and having it punched at the gates. An Atlanta man to aid a woman with a good deal of hand baggage bought a ticket to the nearest station beyond at the price named. It was stamped "redeemable if not used." The purchaser before leaving the station presented it for redemption, but this was refused. He then went to the local court, which decided in his favor. The railroad company then appealed to a higher court, on the ground that in his purchase of the ticket he simply pretended to enter into a contract and his purpose was to defraud. Again the purchaser obtained a judgment and the case is now before the supreme court of Georgia. The principle of the plaintiff is that the railroad had no right to question his motives when he presented the ticket for redemption and that of the railroad company is that the existence of the gate system is at issue. Highly important decisions have been based on issues involving very small money considerations. The supreme court of the United States last winter gave a good deal of time and research to a cause carried before it on appeal involving only $24. A railroad was, in this case, the defendant. It owed one of its employees, a train hand, this sum, which was attached and collected by one of his creditors. The employee contended that the money was still due him and carried the case up to the highest tribunal in the land. Our own famous Chief Justice Slaw wrote one of his most luminous expositions of legal principles in deciding a case which turned on the ownership of a bull calf. It is related that the bar snickered at the frequent repetition of the phrase "the said bull calf," and the chief justice rebuked the laughing lawyer by saying: 'Gentlemen, you do not reflect what a bull calf may be to a very poor family.' Robert Browning went to law over the value of one bottle of wine, on the great principle that he would not be swindled for half a crown if he could help it. The "kicker" is often the subject of ridicule, but kicers have helped the world along at times. Given a great scenic environment and the "kicker" becomes a historical personage of the first class John Hampden would never have "felt" the amount of "ship money" assessed on his estate. ASPARAGUS IS IN THE VAN. Precedes the Other Fresh Vegetables That Spring Affords. Asparagus is the precursor of the season of fresh vegetables, and there is probably no other vegetable the flavor of which is so highly esteemed as is that of tender asparagus. Chemical analysis offers no explanation of its pleasant flavor, but assigns to it a decidedly high nutritious value. Asparagus, however, furnishes one of those interesting examples of a food which, though containing more water in its composition than does milk is nevertheless a solid substance. Thus the head of the asparagus contains slightly more than 93 per cent of water, which is only 1 per cent less than that contained in the lettuce, but 5 per cent. more than is present in milk. The solid constituents, however, are particularly rich in nitrogenous substances, which amount to 30 per cent. of the dried vegetable. Among these may be reckoned a purin body, to which has been ascribed the harmful influence of asparagus on some persons with a gouty tendency. When asparagus is consumed in large quantities the output of uric acid is very distinctly increased. The same effect is obtained after drinking copiously of beer, which also contains purin bodies, although they are entirely absent in wines, and, of course, in spirits. Sweetbread may be objectionable on similar grounds. There is no reason for thinking, however, that when asparagus is eaten in reasonable quantities it causes an undesirable disturbance of the bodily functions. On the contrary, it is very digestible and is easily tolerated, even by invalids. Breathing Sodium Peroxide. At last man has learned to live without air. Sodium peroxide, one of the newer products of electrolysis, is a compound of sodium with oxygen that decomposes in the presence of damp carbonic acid. The value of this substance may be gathered from the fact that a man can live in an airtight box as long as any sodium peroxide remains unconverted. It is suggested that, by means of sodium peroxide, submarine boats will be able to remain under water for considerably longer periods than hitherto has been possible. Just how long will be a matter of calculation, the factors in the calculation being the amount of oxygen converted into carbonic acid by one man in one hour, the number of men present, and the weight of peroxide that can be carried. Used in mines, it should enable a miner to live with his head literally in a bag of india rubber containing this peroxide, whereby he can tide over a period of danger. ——————————S—_——— ee THE Ward Auction C0 1728-80 Arapahoe St. Denver, - - Colorado Private Residence Sales a Specialty Regular Sales Mondays, Wednes. days and Saturdays.

General debility is a term that covers a multitude of cases where there is no acute disease, yet the patient continues to lose strength and the doctor's medicines have no apparent effect. This is the decline that leads to death if means are not found to check it. In a great majority of cases Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will check it and restore health and strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every organ and tissue of the body. Mrs. S. A. Green, whose address is Box 29, R. F. D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga., says: "For three and a half years I suffered with weakness and nervousness, complicated with stomach trouble. At times I was confined to my bed for periods ranging from three weeks to two months and was under the physician's care most of the time for three years. I do not know the cause of my trouble but I was prostrated with weakness and, although I took a great deal of medicine, nothing seemed to give me strength. At times my stomach hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me. I was sleepless and what sleep I did get did not refresh me. "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I weighed but 104 pounds. I knew I was so bad that a few doses would not cure me and I had patience. Soon the pills began to give me strength, my blood got in better condition, I could sleep well at night and help some with the housework. Now I weigh 130 pounds and think nothing of walking half a mile. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done wonders for me and the neighbors all know this statement is true." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

Though my words were severe, you must have seen that I was smiling." "Well," he replied, "your mouth is so small I didn't notice it." Habits of Wild Bees. There are about five thousand species of the wild bees, all with interesting ways of their own. Among them is a species whose females are veritable amazons, and carry more and better weapons than the males. There are the "cukoo" bees, who deposit their eggs in the nests of others, the progeny of both living peaceably together until maturity, when they separate. Then there is the tailoring bee, which cuts leaves with her scissors-like jaws, and fits a snug lining of the leaf material into her cave-shaped nest. Hinky Dink and Barrie. H. G. Wells of England, the forecast-novel man and sociologist, met an interesting person in Chicago and in a magazine article tells all about the experience. "I made," he says, "the acquaintance of Alderman Kenna, who is better known I found throughout the states as 'Hinley Dink,' saw his two saloons and something of the Chinese quarters about him. He is a compact, upright little man, with iron-gray hair, a clear blue eye and a dry manner. He wore a bowler hat through all our experiences in common and kept his hands in his jacket pockets. He filled me with a ridiculous idea, for which I apologize, that, had it fallen to the lot of J. M. Barrie to miss a university education and keep a saloon in Chicago and organize voters, he would have looked own brother to Mr. Kenna." WELL PEOPLE TOO Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Con valesents. A wise doctor tries to give nature its best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted patient, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourishment. "Five years ago," writes a doctor, "I commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee. I was so well pleased with the results that I had two grocers place it in stock, guaranteeing its sale. "I then commenced to recommend it to my patients in place of coffee, as a nutritious beverage. The consequence is, every store in town is now selling it, as it has become a household necessity in many homes. "I'm sure I prescribe Postum as often as any one remedy in the Materia Medica—in almost every case of digestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results. "When I once introduce it into a family, it is quite 'sure to remain. I shall continue to use it and prescribe it in families where I practice. "In convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid fever and other cases, I give it as a liquid, easily absorbed diet. You may use my letter as a reference any way you see fit."

Eight thousand acres of beets were planted for the Greeley factory and will give an average yield of twelve tons to the acre. Eighty thousand tons of this yield will be handled by the Greeley factory and the remainder sent elsewhere. One of the exhibits which is attracting great attention is that made by the United States reclamation service, which is carrying on the construction of the Gunnison tunnel. This consists of maps and views of the entire work. The relief maps were on exhibition at the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Oregon. County clerks all over the state have issued a large number of hunting licenses since January 1st, last.

Several thousand additional blanks have just been sent out from the office. Bert Mellen, sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for embezzlement from the International Trust Company at Denver, died of typhoid fever in the prison hospital at Canon City on the 14th inst.

The Baer Brothers Mercantile Company of Leadville, associated with the Lemp Brewing Company of St. Louis, have brought suit in the United States District Court to recover damages against the Rio Grande and Missouri Pacific railroads for over-charges. The well known discriminatory rates in effect from the Mississippi to Leadville are cited as the ground for the action. For the third time the Denver Board of Public Works will advertise for bids for the construction of the proposed auditorium.

The recount showed the election of the no-license aldermanic candidates. Unless the case Should be appealed to the Supreme Court the three saloons now running there will be closed. Reports which seem to have some basis of truth are in circulation at Fort Collins, to the effect that the Union Pacific has acquired the short branch lines known as the sugar road. These lines are owned by the Great Western Company, and have been feeders for the Colorado & Southern. Of course any such action by the Union Pacific would be considered a declaration of war and the long standing agreement which has permitted a monopoly of the railway business in northern Colorado would be a thing of the past. The Christian Assembly Ranch Company, an incorporation not for profit, has been formed by members of the Christian Assembly to establish ranches near Denver for the purpose of "restoring fallen men and women."

WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer- ing from Kidney Complaint. Mrs. Remethe Myers, of 180 South Tenth St., Ironton, O., says: "I have worked hard in my time and have been exposed again and again to changes of weather. It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was A. B. fading away and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were dreadfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since."

In their house in South London they possess a very finely equipped observatory, which contains the enormous telescope presented by the royal society to Sir William in recognition of the work accomplished by Lady Huggins and himself in astrophysics. "And now," said the friend of other days, "you are rich and independent." "Well," answered Mr. Cumrox, "I am rich, all right. But when mother and the girls are around, I don't take chances on being too independent." AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidester, Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905."

We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, or other female weakness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald of Woodbridge, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Restored health has meant so much to me that I cannot help from telling about it for the sake of other suffering women. "For a long time I suffered untold agony with a female trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me, and made me well and streng, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what a sodiloid medicine it is." For twenty-five years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under her direction, and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always helpful. Address, Lynn, Mass. Take The Right Road TO Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis FROM Omaha or Kansas City CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

Fashion's decrees are in the main whimsical and uncertain, and the best laid plans of manufacturers and merchants "gang aft a gley," for they understand better than anyone else the uncertainty as to the success of any new tints and new designs in materials in winning the popular favor. One of the novelties may fall entirely, and may be popular, a third may be chic—for to be popular and to be chic mean two very different things, and things quite incompatible. A color or material may be smiled upon by the ultra modish at the opening of the season and may promptly find favor with the crowd. designs in color plaiding or strily good. Beautiful tart tartan effect, but no clan will lace among the ones. Much is said simplicity and street costumeable that the will have its pli of broadcloth o are trimmed in embroidered to upon collar and little coat and Promptly the color becomes epidemic and the fashionable woman shuns it as she would the plague; but a certain percentage of American women, and by no means a small percentage, will always jump at the first novelties instead of waiting to see what colors and materials win acceptance with the few who keep closely in touch with fashion's best. The reds have distinct importance upon the manufacturers' color cards, and a long line of reds, some of them exceedingly beautiful, are offered in the fall materials. The so-called ruby colorings, clear, yet without crudeness—as are all of the colorings represented in first-class materials, now that the dyers have indeed qualified as artists—are emphasized, and the nine reds, many of which, like the nine dregs, are off the clear tones, bid fair to become very popular. Numerous greens are confidently advanced, particular emphasis being laid upon the bronze green tones; and though there is some difference of opinion as to the part brown ls to play in the season's modes many shades of this color are in evidence and some buyers who usually know whereof they speak expect the browns to have a leading role. Several warm browns of golden tinge, a mahogany tint and the dead leaf colorings all promise well. And as for black all indications point to such a black season as we have not had in many years. Striped effects are to figure largely among the coming modes, and a novelty in black goods will be the striped effect produced wholly by the difference in fabric. Checks and plaids will receive recognition, but the materials in these designs already shown indicate a tendency toward effects a trifle more pronounced than those of the gray checks and plaids so much worn last spring. Fine checks in gray and black, flecked with tiny threads of contrasting color and plaided by a fine outline of this same color, are attractive, and similar Odds and Ends of Fashion Talk Moire is being vigorously pushed by the manufacturers, but indications point to the probability that it will be used chiefly for trimming and in combination and only the elderly will be disposed to favor whole frocks of this material. Charming evening gowns made of the exquisite pointed chiffon cloths with garland borders and bands. These are made in 60-inch widths, and will be popular. With the continuation of the rage for laces black silk lace is acquiring an unprecedented prestige. One noticeable feature of the winter frock will be the use of heavy cushion embroidery, and the buttons of carved ivory and of tortoise shell so popular in Paris are certain to gain favor among those who can afford the luxury. In new waist flannels many attractive striped effects will be offered, the color scheme often including many colors, but the blending bringing them into inconspicuous harmony. And now we are to have the trimmed pockets, which are features of some of the newest French coats of dressy character. Plaid cloth will be popular for fall costumes and we show herewith a novel design for gown done in plaid and plain cloth. The plaid combination is dark green, blue and black and the plain cloth blue, or green may be used if preferred, for the making of the panels on bodice and skirt, while little lapels, cuffs and buttons of black gatin will give a smart finish. The effect can be varied by having the waist designs in color checks with overline plaiding or striping of black are equally good. Beautiful tartan plaids and plaids of tartan effect, but in colorings to which no clan will lay claim, are represented among the soft woolens. Much is said about the increasing simplicity and severity in the tailored street costume, and it is unquestionable that the severe tailor-made suit will have its place. Already one hears of broadcloth costumes whose skirts are trimmed in flat, shaped flounces, embroidered to match the embroidery upon collar and cuffs of the fanciful little coat, and of costumes in which satin and broadcloth are cleverly combined, the satin forming the foundation of the frock, while cloth of the same shade is lavishly used for trimming. Satin promises to have great success and a satin finish appears upon many of the loveliest silks and sheer silken stuffs, while satin stripes, satin dots, etc., enter into many of the fancy combination materials, such as the satin and crape stripes and the satin and silk mousseline stripes already noted. For the dressy coat and skirt suits it is probable that the bolero, whose decline is once more heralded, will be as popular as ever, and there will be loose, picturesque little paletot and mantle effects, such as have been seen in the summer costumes. The quaint draped wrap recalling the days of the shawl is too recent a favorite in Paris to be dropped merely because of a change of season, and we shall see these effects in cloth and velvet and fur. Short waisted coats, too, will be a legacy from summer to winter, and these will have skirts of varying lengths, from the short hip length basque to the long, enveloping skirts of the carriage and theater coat. The short waisted back combined with fronts, giving a natural waist line, is not unbecoming, even to the woman of large hips, if it be cleverly cut and hung; but it does need very skillful handling. In our illustration we show two very smart street costumes. The one with the plain skirt is of rich bronze corduroy velvetleen, with very smart revers and tabs of cream moire, and the overlay of very fine guipure lace on the bodice just supplies the happy touch that enhances the charm of the gown. The other costume is a very effective model in mouse-colored cloth, trimmed with velvet of the same tone, the smart little bolero coat, which is lined with silk being finished with cord and buttons.

Denver, Colo ILLINERY Denver, Colo PROPOSED HOME FOR NEWSPAPER MEN. A home for aged and infirm newspaper men is the latest philanthropic movement undertaken by the wealthy men of the country. The movement began in Colorado and the first contribution that was made to the fund came from a Colorado man. When the International League of Press Clubs met in Denver Simon Guggenheim, one of the wealthy residents of the state, and the head of the American Smelting & Refining Company, placed the sum of $2,500 at the disposal of President Edward Keating of the league to start a fund for founding a home that would shelter newspaper men whose energies had been exhausted in the hard struggle of their profession. Mr. Guggenheim offered to lend his further assistance to the project and interest other men of wealth and wide influence to make the plan a success. In this way it is believed, a sufficiently large sum can be gathered to insure the comfort of the aged members of the newspaper profession and shield them from the misfortunes incident to penniless age. It is proposed to build the home in Colorado if possible. There can be no doubt that many Colorado multi-millionaires will come forward with generous contributions to the fund, and that a site for the home will be given by some philanthropic person who is so well supplied with land that he will be willing to part with a portion of it for such a worthy purpose. Once the site is secured and the home erected, which can probably be done at a cost not to exceed $10,000, it will be easy enough to make the institution self-sustaining. A plan suggested for this purpose by Mr. Guggenheim commends itself because it is eminently practical. "I believe," said the first donor to the fund, "that when this home is built and ready for occupancy that many of the wealthy men of the country will undertake to make yearly a contribution to the home for the purpose of supporting one or more of the aged journalists who are within its doors. For my own part, I am willing to undertake as much as anyone else, and I feel that it is a worthy cause to which I will contribute. If we can gather into a home in Colorado the aged and infirm from the great newspaper offices of the United States, a bond of sympathy will be established between this state and the great daily journals of the country, and Colorado will be given fair treatment in all headlines and news articles that appear in print. I believe that the recent convention the newspaper men held in this city will establish more cordial relations between the great papers in this state, and will do an infinite amount of good, which can be further increased by Colorado people establishing a home for the aged and infirm of the newspaper profession." President Edward Keating of the International League of Press Clubs, who is also president of the Denver Press Club, has pledged himself to devote his energies during his administration to building this home. He has been assured of the support of Colorado people, and many of the wealthy men of the state will earn the gratitude of newspaper men everywhere by contributing to build the institution or helping to support it after it has been founded. Many proprietors of the great daily papers in the United States have a system of pensioning their old employees, and would hall with delight and satisfaction a plan whereby these veterans of their establishments could be provided with a home, where they might spend their declining years among other men who had had experiences similar to theirs in the journalism of a generation ago. President Keating will convene the Board of Governors of the International League of Press Clubs in Chicago some time near the first of the year, and it is his intention at that time to have a committee selected that will arrange for building and equipping the home for newspaper men, as it is believed that at that time sufficient money will have been raised to defray all expenses. THE NEW LABOR PROBLEM. Mere Bodily Strength is no Longer Sufficient. The question, as old as society itself, is mind or muscle the more valuable? is coming to the fore again, not as a mere academic problem, but as a genuine, but as a genuine question of economics. We live in the age of machinery. Steam and electricity are doing away more and more with the ordinary manual labor. The man who has nothing but his muscles to offer society in return for bread now find that society does not think the bargain good enough. The strong arm and fleet foot were enough, perhaps, to make a candidate for kingship long ago; but scarcely sufficient to day even for the making of a stevedore. The high priests of muscle and their fanatical supporters are more utterly out of date than the worshipers of any African fetish. The struggle for existence is not, as formerly, an immediate struggle of man with nature—with the recalcitrant soil and the uncertain sea. The arrangement now is social, not individual. You may live if you are worth enough to society. If, however, you have only muscles to offer, society will point you to its machinery, which your muscles are powerless to emulate. What are "legs of a man" compared with an internal combustion engine? The jiniksha runner and the motor car are types of the contrast. In short, modern society is such that, other things being equal, the educated mind will beat the uneducated muscle every time. If, then, we are to remedy poverty and unemployment, we must see to it that in our training of the young we pay attention to the factors that increasingly count in the struggle for existence to-day. The parent who exploits his child at the earliest age, depriving him of any chance of making the mental acquirements that society is willing to pay for to-day, is doing his best to add to the ranks of the unemployed of to-morrow.—Leadville Herald-Democrat. --- DO YOU KNOW THAT The Colorado Statesman Is Now Prepared To Do All Kinds of Job Printing?
