Colorado Statesman

MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY A Syr Of Editor Rivers' Visit by John H. Paynter of Treasury A Synopsis Of Editor Rivers' Visit to the National Capitol by John H. Paynter of the United States Treasury Department. A message from Register W. T. Vernon, a few days ago, carried the writer forthwith where he was informed that the man who has made the COLORADO STATESMAN, the leading Negro journal of the West, was in town and wished to see him. Accordingly, when the official day over at 4:30, I repaired immediately to the cosy home of Rev. [Name] M. JOS. D. D. RIVERS. O. J. W. Scott at 1444 Q St., and there in the literary work shop of the Pastor of the Metropolitan, I found the gentleman I was seeking. It was indeed my old friend Jos. D. D. Rivers, the same refined, faultlessly attired and always alert man of affairs whom I had known and labored with in the upbuilding of the Statesman fifteen years before. Time had indeed dealt most gently with him. His hair was just as abundant and not more mixed than in those days; his eye was as keen and penetrating, his hand grasp as hearty and his laugh just as responsive and joyous, though perhaps a little less frequent, showing that the years VOL. XIII. have strengthened the grip of serious affairs in his life and work. With delicate consideration for the time of Dr. Scott, which he assured the Reverend gentleman he had already sufficiently intruded upon, we withdrew. Having gained the street it was in order to shake hands again, at which time "Joe" informed me that he had been in company with 1914 gentlemen of the cloth all day and while he had been entertained, instructed and had enjoyed every moment of the time, he felt that he had been living in an atmosphere that was just a bit too rare and was glad to drop into a lower strata. Being mellowed by his presence into a congeniality that would admit no questioning of his statements, I had to pass up this doubtful compliment on its face value. As we wandered out fourteenth street, the events of the day were gone over in detail. He was delighted to have found his mother, whom he had not seen for twenty-five years, and other relatives, well and happy and I have no doubt ```markdown ``` the effects of his generous devotion will be visible in their home for many days to come. He was enthusiastic over the broad avenues and splendid buildings and private residences of the Capital City and more than all, over the two hours spent at the great white building on the hill, in company with Register Vernon and Dr, Scott. The party was taken in charge by Harry Neale, the veteran messenger of the Speaker of the House and through him many courtesies were received The proceedings of the House were viewed from the distinguished visitors gallery and many men famous in the current and past legislative history of the country were pointed out. An enjoyable luncheon in the House Restaurant, at which Mr. Vernon was host, was the closing feature of the visit to the Capital. A brief hour was passed at the home of the writer and it may be imagined, our guest was severely taxed in answering queries concerning our old friends in Denver. Most of these we were delighted to hear were prosperous and happy. Then we talked of the summer of the Knight Templar Encampment when it seemed that the very flower of culture and loveliness from Chicago, St Louis, Kansas City and far off Texas and California had formed a combine and descended on Denver to take captive her loyal sons. Oh that happy summer! Who is there can forget it? Who would forget it if they could? For many friendships were formed and relationships, near and dear, were entered upon at this time, most of which have endured permanently and happily ever since. Long may they still endure for each and all wherever they may be. Time passes quickly when reminiscences of happy days are being recounted and all too soon the "COLORADO STATESMAN" man was again on the go. A ten minutes walk brought us to the "Cairo" where several of the Colorado Congressional delegation were stopping. The venerable Senator Teller was the first to greet us; he looked vigorous and hearty and seemed to promise still several years more of splendid service to his beloved constituency. Then came along our friend, the Hon. R. W. Bonynge, glad to see his visitors and showing it in his hearty hand-clasp and cordial manner. He seems to subscribe to the American habit of treating, for we must have a cigar all-around and then a quite chat in a cozy corner of the lobby. A pleasant half-hour was passed in this way and during that time much was said which showed how earnestly both men were laboring for the welfare, and permanent progress of the citizens of their state—the one in the larger sphere of Congressional influence DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1907. the other for the elevation of the homes and the civil status of his own struggling people. It may be added that the Congressman started for Denver two days later and it may be assured that the talk at the "Cairo" was continued on their native heath in more interesting and familiar surroundings. But we must not weary the readers of this paper with every detail of the editors visit. Then too, there may be some things he would like to tell in his own way, as for instance, his inresting visit to the Howard University. Probably what attracted most, among the various influences working to benefit the masses of colored people in Washington and which came under his attention, is the Clarke Domestic Training school. This establishment is located at 11th and U streets in the heart of what is rapidly becoming the most refined residence section in which colored people live. The large house has been fitted to the needs of the various departments, among which are sewing, cooking and millinery, and in each, notable results have been achieved. A significant stroke of good management by Mrs. Clarke is the interest she has aroused for her school in the highest social circles of Washington. An expression of this interest was given on December 19, at Rauschers under such patronage, when a musical program of varied and artistic excellence was rendered by exclusive Negro talent, before a large and distinguished audience from high official and social circles of the Capital. The entertainment was for the benefit of the school and served to emphasize its usefulness as a factor in lifting the masses of our people into honorable and profit able employments. What an impetus this object would have, could such schools as this of Mrs. Clarke, be established in all cities where large numbers of our people live. Among the colored men of note who were pleased to shake the hand of our hustler from the West, were the ex-Register of the Treasury, Judson W. Lyons, who was just preparing for a business trip to Oklahoma; Grand Master W. L. Houston of the G. U. O. of O. F; Profs. W. A. Joiner and R. G. Caruth of Howard University; Dr. McGuire of Board & McGuire, the popular 14th street druggists; Mr. Jerome A. Johnson, one of the oldest as well as most efficient clerks of the Treasury; Pros. W. T. McKinney of the same office and Prof. L. M. Hershaw who with W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta University, will in January, launch in this city a new publication to be known as "The Horizon." The field to be covered by this new periodical, it is understood, is as an exponent of the purpose and theories advocated by the leaders of the Niagara Movement, for the betterment of the condition of the Negro. The social activities of our visitor were confined to a lunch or dinner or two at Costleys, one of the foremost Cafes in point of effi- COLORADO'S CHOICE FOR THE UNITED STATES SENATE. Some time ago we presented to our readers the logical candidate for the United States Senate. It was Simon Guggenheim. By a vote of the Republican caucus held this week Mr. Guggenheim was almost unanimously chosen, only two votes being withheld from him, one of which was complimentary to Governor McDonald, and the other was a pre-campaign promise not to support him; but so united and strong were the legislators in their desire to give Mr. Guggenheim their votes that the name of no other candidate was presented to the caucus. The nomination was given Mr. Guggenheim without a whisper of scandal or treachery of any kind. How different this was to other candidates that have been chosen heretofore is no secret to those who have watched the course of political events in this state. Mr. Guggenheim will go to the capital with clean hands and an unsmirched toga and with the well-wishes of as fine a body of legislators as ever assembled in this state. He is in perfect accord with his party and a firm believer in its principles, and in harmony with the issues upon which the campaign was fought and won. Mr. Guggenheim is a typical successful business man. He has large interests in the state and has been a resident of Colorado for eighteen years. He is thoroughly familiar with its resources, development, progress and needs. While he is not an orator or lawyer, he is acquainted with the practical end of the duties that devolve upon one in his high position. He does not go to Washington to add to his fortune that is already made; as the western representative of the smelter company he has wealth, influence and standing in the financial world, but he has an ambition to make a name for himself and the state that M.

Mr. Guggenheim comes of a family that has given the square deal policy a reality in the world of business and opportunities. His candidacy comes at the psychological moment, as writers put it, and is an indication that troublesome times are over in Colorado and the dove of peace is spreading her wings over our fair hills, fertile valleys and prosperous people. The Colorado Statesman believes the choice is a good one and fully indorses Mr. Guggenheim's selection and believes he will take the right stand on legislative questions affecting the rights and status of the Negro as well as other questions of state and national importance. We extend to Senator Guggenheim our congratulations and hope that no power may stand between him and the solid vote of the Sixteenth General Assembly on January 15th, when the concurrent expression of both houses will be taken, and Colorado's junior senator will be named and indorsed. ciency and service, controlled by colored men in Washington.

NO. 15. JOHN H. PAYNTER. A Short Cut. "There goes a man," observed a steamship agent as he directed attention to a surly-looking individual who had just engaged passage for Europe, "whose efforts are devoted to constructing short cuts in business methods and in eliminating all time consuming men and their propositions from his busy existence. He is a man of very few words. "Some years ago this gentleman crossed the ocean and had a very unpleasant trip. One morning a sympathetic passenger offered him a lemon, expressing a silicere wish that it would give him relief. "The pale traveler seized the lemon, hurled it viciously into the ocean, and growled: "This is a quicker way than the other."—New York Telegraph. The Broad A. "I'm sorry you don't like your new visiting cards," said the engraver, "What's your principal objection." "Oh, the type's too narrow, for one thing," replied Adam Nuritch. "But that's fashionable, and it's pretty, too. Take the A, for instance; now, the narrow, graceful—" "The A's what I object to most. I always understood it was swell to use the broad A."—Philadelphia Ledger. Suspicious. Walter—"You'd better send quietly for the police. That woman over at my table is a man in disguise." Proprietor—"How do you know?" Walter—"She ordered a regular meal instead o' lobster salad an' ice cream an' then she gimme a tip" "Dope." What is the meaning of a "dope fiend," which the murdered millionaire is said to have called the man who killed him? "Dope" is an English dialect word for a simpleton, but probably the millionaire's "dope" is another one altogether, derived from the "doping" of horses and implying that the man was the victim of a drug habit. In America "dope" has long signified any thick liquid or semi-liquid used as a food or as a lubricant, and the dictionaryaries quotes from the Scientific American—"Dope," a preparation of pitch, tallow and other ingredients, which, being applied to the bottom of the shoes, enables the wearer to lightly glide over the snow softened by the rays of the sun." It seems to come from the Dutch "doop," dripping, or paste, which comes from the verb meaning to dip, that also produced "dopper," a nickname for a Baptist. Waterproof Suits. The change in the models of rain armments during the past ten years is mazing. Carry your memory back, if you can, to the hideous waterproof or ubber garment which was all that as once afforded; then let your mind well on the trim cravenette coat, of which one need not be ashamed when he sun suddenly appears. Some women have skirts and smart coats made if that material, and look even better ran in the long outer garment of rain- roof material. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Department of the Interior.

Not any more wonderful than would be the sudden upspringing of an infant to the stature of a giant is the wonderful growth of the beet sugar industry throughout the state. In eight years, no more, Colorado has jumped from the bottom to the top of the ladder in sugar production, and gives promise with annual increases of factories, output and expansions in every line of holding indefinitely that enviable position. The only contestants to this claims of supremacy are California and Michigan. Michigan, with her seventeen factories and daily capacity of 10,550 tons, which in 1905 exceeded Colorado by over 1,000 tons, now is forced to give way to our 11,400 tons daily capacity; and California, with her 9,450 tons capacity, will be out of the running until new plants are constructed. And then, too, Colorado's mills are running every day of the sugar campaign, and every capacity is tested to the utmost to handle the immense crops of sugar beets. In other states many of the factories shut down part of the time and their operations are at best spasmodic. In a single year Colorado's output of sugar has been swelled in value $5,000,000, and the invested capital, outside of real estate, has grown $3,045,000, making for the latter the grand total of $16,295,000. Farmers in 1906 were paid $3,000,000 more than in 1905, factory labor earned $1,000,000 more than in the preceding year, and field labor alone earned $2,233,000 during the sugar campaign. About 26,670 more acres were planted to sugar beets than in 1905, and the beet tonnage exceeded the preceding year by 500,000 tons. The average yield per acre when raised from eleven tons in 1905 to 13.2 tons in 1906, which are extremely conservative figures. Reports are made of yields up to twenty-five and even as high, in exceptional cases, as thirty tons to the acre. During 1907 and in time for the campaign there will be constructed and finished another factory at Las Animas, by the American Beet Sugar Company, which will cost close to $1,000,000, and at other points deals are on for new factories. To every district where there is a beet sugar factory settlers have been drawn, and beet fields now mark the place where barren prairie land formerly was. Colorado has now fifteen sugar factories, which, although two less than in Michigan, have an aggregate capacity daily for slicing beets which exceeds any other of the sugar beet growing states. Northern Colorado Potato Crop. The potato crop of northern Colorado, which section rivals all others in the world in the annual quantity and quality of its production of potatoes is estimated for the season of 1906 at 9,500 carloads, 500 carloads less than that of last year, whose crop was forty per cent. that of the season of 1904, whose 14,000 carloads exceeded all previous crops grown in the Greeley district. This year's crop, shortly after its harvest, was valued at $2,000,000, but shortage of cars to carry the crop when demand and prices for it were high will lose the community at least $250,000 and cut down the value of the crop to $1,750,000. Ninety-five hundred carloads estimated in sacks means 2,375,000 sacks; in tons, 142,500, and 4,750,000 bushels. The crop is enough to fill a train of refrigerator cars twenty-nine miles long or to cover an area three and one-half miles long and three miles wide if piled with sacks ten feet high. Thirty thousand acres were planted to potatoes this year and the average yield was seventy-nine sacks an acre. The quality was the best ever grown. The cost of growing a sack of potatoes is estimated at 35 cents, which makes the cost of producing the present crop $81,250, leaving the growers $918,000 as profit. All potatoes goling to market from northern Colorado are called Greeley potatoes, but the district includes the localities of Fort Collins, Tinnath. Windsor, Bracewell, Greeley, Lucerne, Eaton, Ault, Kersey, Evans, Peckham, Big Bend, La Salle, and Johnstown, and produces ninety-five per cent of all the potatoes grown in northern Colorado. Many farmers cut down their potato average the last two years to give place to beets, but it is said that the potato acreage will be increased the coming year. The principal markets for Greeley potatoes are Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa. This year Arizona was added to the list, as the California potato crop, which usually supplies this territory, was inadequate. A THE IDEAL DRUG STORE. 1863 ARAPAHOE STREET.

The best resolution to enter the new year is: "I will not knock—my hammer is buried; I will do the best I can, every time I can, in every way I can, whether the other fellow does me good or not."

Buchtel and the caucus selection of Simon Guggenheim as United States senator from Colorado to succeed Hon. Thomas M. Patterson. These two events are of primary importance politically to the Republican party. They mark an era of new conditions for the state and they are an omen of the party returning to the rehabilitation of its former prestige and power. It means a big step forward for peace and prosperity, toward justice and equity for the Negro. We ought to put aside our petty jealousies and bickerings and go to work with a hearty good will to push things along. We are now lined up with our faces to success. Let us blot out old scores, wipe out old grudges, clean our slate of recorded prejudices and start anew to make up for what we have lost in fighting, knocking and knifing one another. We can't win on past failures; we can't succeed on past issues. We are facing new conditions, new standards, new requirements. Let us adjust ourselves to the new and work with our might. "Here is to you," Governor Buchtel, and "Here is to you," Senator Guggenheim, and "Here's to you," fellow-citizens, for a happy and prosperous new year, politically, financially, socially and spiritually. May it be the best year of your life. WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED DURING 1906. The close of the year 1906 marks a radical change in the apparent future of Denver. The Negro has not lost but gained influence, wealth, positions, business and population during the year, to say nothing of the gain in hope, courage and ambition. Nineteen hundred and six was a prosperous year. So prosperous that calamity howlers could not find an issue to stake their campaign upon. Nineteen hundred and seven promises to be a record-breaker, and we hope the colored people will be in it on the prosperity that is certain to come through the extension of the street car, water, light and telephone systems. Below we give a summary for 1906: Two new policemen; a position in the county clerk's and county treasurer's office, with several new appointments to follow; a shoe store; cleaning and dye works; tailor shop; three new lunch rooms; undertaking establishment; another law department; a new secret order; a patent horseshoe, with a stock company; new and improved church property; new homes purchased. These are some of the many things that have taken place during the year among our people. The drug-gists, doctors and other business and professional men are all doing well. We hope the new year shall see much material gain in Denver's business strides. Our review of conditions was not intended to be exact or in detail, our object being simply to note progress seen at a glance. On the whole, while our advancement has not been rapid, it has been substantial and points an index for the future. The new postoffice will make a great change in Denver's real estate and we hope our citizens may be in line to profit by the improvements. Let us now have a forward movement all along the line. APPRECIATION OF OUR EDITORIALS. A layman has written the Colorado Statesman expressing appreciation of its editorials, saying that "the subjects selected are of national importance as well of local interest, and their treatment is clear, clean, full and instructive; that marked copies of the Colorado Statesman are sent out of the state to friends elsewhere and that our editorials are copied and commented upon by other newspapers and that the enthusiasm and optimistic spirit of our articles is far reaching in good results." The Colorado Statesman thanks its readers for their compliments. Information relative to city, state and national interests are usually most valuable and interesting only to intelligent readers. Truth is the end of all intelligent discussion and the treatment of important subjects by strong editorials will make a newspaper doubly valuable. Only important news items are of much interest to general readers now but the interesting editorial page will occupy one's leisure at any time. It is the editorial page that gives food for thought and difference of opinion. A good editorial page gives more prominence and value to advertisement. The editor who habitually neglects his editorial page or fails occasionally to quote opinions of other editors is certain to lose the interest of his readers and make his paper a poor investment for advertisers as well as subscribers. The Colorado Statesman wishes to thank its readers for their appreciation of editorials and to say we are more than glad to know that the time has come when the colored people can enter into appreciation for editorial work. In many of our colored newspapers this important part is overlooked and the notes of correspondents and social functions made the most prominent thing; but as the race advances in general intelligence they will also become more discriminating in the amount, character and exactness of the editorials. The Colorado Statesman will try to keep in the front ranks of the procession. This paper has never lacked for editorial material—our trouble has been simply to confine ourselves to the space and time and importance of the subjects at our disposal. Make it a point to read our editorials every week this year and you will catch the spirit of the times and be a booster. Smile and push for the Colorado Statesman. THE PEOPLE'S DUTY TO THE NEWSPAPER. The subscribers and readers of the Colorado Statesman have a reciprocal duty to the paper that comes into their hands fifty-two times a year—we never miss an issue. The first duty is to see that the management get their money. Newspapers, like churches, societies and other businesses, cannot run without money, therefore prompt pay is essential. Second, if the Colorado Statesman is a good paper—we try to make it the best—then you ought to try to increase its circulation and subscription, just as you try to get new members into your church and lodge. It means a stronger church or better lodge, just as increased circulation makes a better newspaper. Third—The mission of this paper is the collection, condensation—for that is necessary in these busy days—and disseminating of news of a healthy, interesting and beneficial nature to the race. This paper has demonstrated this beyond any question during the past ten years. But it is impossible to get all of the happenings of importance in a city like Denver unless notice of these events are mailed to our office. Very often meetings of an interesting nature are held, entrainments given, socials, parties and banquets carried out, sports, games and reunions conducted, concerts, lectures and installations indulged in, business transactions, sales and changes pulled off successfully, and people wonder why it is not referred to in our paper. Simply because the management is not aware of the happening, or press tickets or newspaper courtesy mailed or presented to us so that we might send our reporter to get the facts. There are ethics in newspaper work the same as in other service and promoters of entertainments ought to make provision for the press the same as they do for other kinds of publicity. The people of Denver want the news. The Colorado Statesman is prepared to give it. This is our business and it is the indispensable duty of every one to assist in getting it to us so that the public may have it promptly. The Colorado Statesman does not charge for space and will not charge except for that of an advertising nature. We will publish all matter mailed to us, reserving, of course, the right to edit the same. Let the public take notice of this and do your duty. time studying white at the fort. This is the first appointment of a Negro as a mail clerk out of Cheyenne. The clerks here say that they intend to keep this division clean, if possible. What will be the effect of their action is not known. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. By s very narrow margin Samuel Taylor, of Indianapolis, a colored graduate of Shortridge High School, won first place in the De Pauw oratorical contest at Greencastle, Ind. Four of six judges gave him first, and the total of his markings was 13. Wm. Evans, of Greencastle, received only two firsts, but the total of his grade was 12.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, in New York City, which at the present time carries more than $1,000,000 of risks on Negro policyholders, has issued instructions to its agents that after January 1 they are to accept no applications from Negroes. The Prudential Company is the only company that has hitherto refused to accept Negroes, or, if accepting them for large policies, charged premiums far in excess of those charged the whites. The New York Legislature passed some years ago a law prohibiting the insurance companies from discriminating against Negroes. The Afro-Americans of Louisville, Ky., will celebrate the Emancipation for the first time in a number of years. The anniversary will take place at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, January 18, at 8 p.m. The speaker of the occasion will be Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury. The meeting will be under the auspices of the Afro-American council and the cave Dwellers' Association. Rev. L. G. Jordan will act as chairman. This will be the first time that the new regirter of the Treasury has been in Louisville, and a reception will be tendered him at the Wemen's Industrial club. Montgomery, Ala.—A special to the advertiser from Dothan, Ala., says: In a dramatic manner the trial of Villiam Crockett, a white man, charged with the murder of Lum Henderson, a Negro, came to an end about 6 o'clock this morning, when Judge Henry Peace dismissed the jury with a stinging rebuke declaring that the jury had acquitted Crockett because he was a white man and killed a Negro. In concluding Judge Peace said: "If the dead man had been a white citizen it would not have taken you two hours to have returned a verdict of guilty, and I don't see how any member of the jury can go from this court house and face hif fellow citizens in the street."

Resolutions were passed, protesting against the appointment of Hambright as a substitute clerk, and many of the clerks will resign if his appoinment is allowed to stand, for they say they will not be compelled to associate with a Negro in their daily work. Hambright was at one time a soldier at Fort Rawlins, Nebraska. He is an intelligent young fellow, and is said to have put in a great deal of YOUR LAST CHANCE For a Good Time Don't Forget The Soda Dispensers Grand Ball AT EAST TURNER HALL.

Last Saturday at a meeting of the policy holders of the American Life and Accident Company and Commen- wealth Life Association it was voted to consolidate the two companies un- der one management. The American Life is a home company which has been doing business here for a number of years and probably has more mem- bers in Denver than any other c pany doing business here. They have more business in this city than in any other five cities in which they operate. This speaks most highly for them, as it shows how they are regarded at home where they are best known. ‘The Commonwealth does most. of its business Bast and South and is bet- ter known there than here. After a discussion of the subject at the policy- holders’ meeting it was decided to adopt the name “Commonwealth Life” for the consolidated companies, as in the East (in which fleld they intend to push a vigorous canvass) there are about a dozen small concerns working under the name of “American.” It was feared that much of the business from the Commonwealth would be lost on the transfer, the members thinking the American Life one of the small East- ern companies. The entire management is from the American, from President Ira G. Har- ris on down. A. M. Donahue, formerly field manager, becomes secretary. Charles A. Love, formerly traveling auditor, becomes superintendent of agencies. This is a good thing for both companies, as it gives an ag: gressive management to the Common- wealth and an increase of thirty-five per cent. in business in force, thirty per cent. increase of assets and forty: five increase of surplus to policy: holders, which is nearly $25,000. ‘The consolidated concerns now have in- surance in force in thirty-one states of the Union and expect in the near future to open up several more.

My War on. Loa. THE MEN THE COUNTRY NEEDS, Grade 100 Per Cent. Edward McIntyre of Brooklyn was drummer boy in the Thirteenth New York regiment at the age of 11 on the outbreak of the civil war in which he served. Since then he has been thir- ty-seven years, consecutively, a mem ber of the National guard in Brook- lyn. He has just now resigned the post of drum major of the Thirteenth regiment. During all this time his rec- ord has been that of 100 per cent, which means that he was never ab- sent from his post. The Brooklyn Standard Union says: “There would be little trouble and few problems in the world if every man performed 100 per cent of duty In business and personal relations, in public and private affairs, In any list of the: most useful citizens the really indispensable ones would be found to be of the type of the drum major of the Thirteenth. Many people who are temporarily conspicuous could well be spared for lack of those qual- ities. The men who have shown they possess them are the real Americans, of whom the country is proud. It is not surprising that Edward McIntyre has the friendship and respect of every worthy man in the Brooklyn cailitia.” : Pure Obstinacy. A little girl who reads nature books studies natural history and is devoted to pets, was discovered holding bunny in her lap, trying to direct his atten tion to a book that she had and ever and anon boxing his long ears vigor ously. Auntie was shocked, of course, and inquired what was the moving cause of such cruelty. “He's so stubborn,” replied the little teacher. “A rabbit stubborn! Why, child, } never heard of such a thing. What ts he stubborn about?” “I'm trying to teach him the mult: plication table, and he just won't try to learn, nor even say it over after me. Now, you say it, sir, ‘Three times two are six—three times three are nine.” But the rabbit didn’t say it, ana again auntie inquired into her little niece's conduct as two or three more cuffs were administered to the poor creature's all tov convenient ears. “Why, auntie,” explained the girl ‘the books all say that rabbits multi oly faster than any other animals, an: this obstinate little creature won’ even go through the three times thre« | with me.”—1ippincott's. ‘Hisenin’an: New uthinisteriatl Rinance: Admiral Birileft brings a robust dis- position to his new task. He {s a rol- licking salt, with a Homeric stammer, a practicai joker, like Lord Charles Beresford. Stories about him are numberless. Here is one: When Ad. miral Shestakoff was in power he passed a rigorous rule that his young officers must not bankrupt themselves in buying boquets for visiting royal- ties. The empress was to visit a ship on which Birileff served. As her ma jesty descended to the cabin a huge bouquet of flowers mysteriously ap peared on the table, and delighted royalty at once took possession of it. Admiral Shestakoff saw the mass of fragrant blossoms in the imperial wands and turned furiously to his of- ficer. “pid I not give orders that no one must present flowers?” “N-nobody did!” stammered Birl- leff; “s-she t-took it hers-self!”—Har- per’s Weekly. WIRTUES OF THE MARGUERITE Plant That Is Excellently Adapted for Winter Use. One of the plants I want to recom- mend to the amateur as excellently adapted for winter use is the Mar- guerite, or Paris daisy, writes Eben Rexford, in the Home Magazine. It is, to all intents and purposes, the daisy of the fields and meadows domesticat- ed. In its native habitat it is a sturdy plant, and it takes very kindly to pot culture. It flourishes in a soil of ordi- nary garden loam, which need not be very rich to produce fine flowers and a great many of them. Indeed, in a very rich soil it will make a luxuriant growth of branches at the expense of flowers. It has many roots, and must be given a larger pot than such plants as geraniums. If it is not convenient to shift it frequently to give more room to its roots you will have to make use, after a little, of some kind of liquid fertilizer to furnish the nu- triment which it would get from fresh soil if frequent repotting were re- sorted to. But beware of using enough to induce a rapid growth. Rapid growth among pot plants 1s, nine times out of ten, weak, unhealthy growth, and one should always aim to avord it, and especially in the case of plants which are quick to respond’ to over-stimulation with a great devel- opment of branches instead of flowers- BETTER THAN TABLE LEAVES. Separate Board Top Provides Needed Additional Space. People who give large dinners often find the addition of leaves insuffi- cient to accommodate the guests. Also a round or square table elongated is not us pretty or as easy to set. There- fore it 1s an excellent plan to haye a large, separate board top made, which when occasion demands may be laid right on top of the table without need- ing more support underneath. When the room is small such a movable top is much better than to have a large table, which would ordinarily occupy too much floor space. Then, too, the separate top may be either square or round, as her fancy dictates, and its regularity not spoiled by additional leaves. When not in use the top is, of course, stored in a shed or down cellar, safely out of the way. One woman who has a round table had a large separate top made, by which she was enabled to seat 14 pe@ple comfortably, whereas her table: itself, without extension, held but 12, seated uncomfortably close to each other. ‘Saimon Gronuattas: Make a thick white sauce from one cup of milk, five level tablespoons of flour, and two level tablespoons of but- ter. When it is thick add the yolks of two eggs, and when these are cooked through add the salmon. To prepare the fish free a can of salmon from skin and bones, add a level teaspoon of salt, a tablespoon of finely chopped’ parsley, a few gratings of nutmeg, and a pinch of pepper. Now hold half an onion over the fish and scrape off a dozen drops of juice. After the fish and sauce are mixed spread on @ plate and set away to cool. Form into balls or cones, dip into beaten egg, then in sifted fine bread crumbs, and fry in deep fat. Garnish with lemon points and parsley. Peanut Brittle, Select freshly roasted peanuts. Shell, skin and split in halves of suf- ficient number to yield one and one- half cupfuls. Then spread the nuts evenly over a shallow, greased pan. Put one cupful of genuine dark mo lasses and one cupful of brown sugar in the blazer of the chafing dish. Add one tablespoonful of vinegar and on2 generous tablespoonful of butter and boil until the mixture becomes crisp on being dropped into cold water. Add a scant teaspoonful of bi%ing soda, mix thoroughly and pour over the nuts. Stand in a cold place where it will harden quickly, and when very hard break into pieces. Home-made peanut brittle surpasses. the factory brand. Apple Preserves. Now that afples are in season, @& hint about buying and preserving the same may be useful to some of our readers. When buying apples select them by their weight, the heaviest be- ing the best. Large apples are better than small, and those which yield to: the pressure of the thumb with @ slight crackling noise. To make apple- jelly, wash the apples well and cut im pieces; boil them with water and part of a lemon In an uncovered saucepan. When the juice is sticky strain through a sieve and add some thick sirup, for which the sugar used should be of the same weight as the apples; boil and skim it, and when it is suf- ficiently thick to fall in flakes from the spoon put into the jelly glasses and tie down. To Lengthen Life of Wire Screens. Before putting away the screens for the winter rub them with a cloth well saturated with kerosene oil. The tendency of the wire, if not protected in some way, is to rust and become very brittle, the average life of the screen being about a season. If they are cared for in this fashion, however, they will last for several seasons and show very little wear.—taterlor Deco- ration. For Oak Furniture.

WAS A CIVIL WAR VETERAN Served as Judge, Representative in the Colorado Legislature and United States Senator—Formerly Prominent in Iowa, Kansas, Idaho and Arkansas. Pueblo.—Former United States Senator 'Thomas Bowen, one of the best known citizens of the state, and who had also been prominent in national affairs, died at his home, 229 West Twelfth street, at 1:20 o'clock Sunday afternoon after a few weeks' illness. He came to Pueblo in 1892 and was seventy-two years old. Senator Bowen, at the time of his death, was president of the Colorado penitentiary commissioners. He was born near Burlington, Iowa, October 26, 1835. After receiving a college education at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, he was admitted to the bar at the age of eighteen. He removed shortly after to Wayne county, Ohio. In 1856 he was elected to the House of Representatives from that state. In 1858 he removed to Kansas, which was then a territory, and enlisted in the Civil War, serving in the Union army from June, 1861, until July, 1865. Entering the service as a captain of a company in the First regiment of the volunteers he reached the rank of colonel of the Thirteenth Kansas infantry, which position he held until the close of the war. At the Republican national convention, held in 1864, he was a delegate from Kansas. After the war he moved to Arkansas and became president of the constitutional convention of that state, which convened under the reconstruction act of Congress. He was later a justice of the Supreme Court of Arkansas for four years and was afterward appointed governor of the territory of Idaho by President Grant in 1871. He later returned to Arkansas and was a candidate for the United States Senate, but was defeated in an open contest before the Legislature by S. W. Dorsey. He came to Colorado in January, 1875, taking up the practice of law. When the state government was organized he was elected judge of the Fourth judicial district, serving a term of four years. He was elected representative to the State Legislature in 1882, and served as chairman of the committee on ways and means until he resigned to accept the position of United States senator. He took his seat in the United States Senate on December 3, 1883. Before becoming senator Judge Bowen made a large fortune in mining at Summittville, in Rio Grande county. He was married at Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1875 to Miss Margaretta Thurston, who survives him. FUGITIVE CAPTURED. Supposed Murderer of Marshal Frisbie Caught in Kansas. Denver.—A Sheridan Lake, Colorado, special to the Republican Sunday night says: The man supposed to be the short murderer of Marshal Frisble of Lamar, Colorado, was captured at Astor, Kansas, about 4 o'clock Sunday. The two fugitives, being worn out with the long and close pursuit, broke into a school house at Astor, Kansas, and barricaded the door strongly. The lock being broken attracted the attention of the section foreman at Astor the only resident of the place, who telephoned to Towner, Kansas, his suspicions that the murderers were there. A posse headed by Wirt Haalley, sheriff of Kiowa county; Deputy United States Marshall Bliss of Colorado, and Cattle Inspector Bates of Colorado, kicked down the barricade and doors. After exchanging a number of shots with Marshal Bliss the robber escaped through a window with Bliss in close pursuit. After having emptied his revolver and running seventy-five yards, the murdered surrendered to Sheriff Bailey, who promised him protection against mob violence while in Kiawna county. The murderer is a desperado of bulldog appearance, about thirty-five years old, five feet seven inches, clean shaven, black hair and heavy black eyebrows and gray eyes. He refuses to give his name, but says his home is in Kansas City. The other man succeeded in getting away, and started in the direction of Horace, going as fast as he could. NEW ELECTRIC LINE From Denver via Littleton into the Foothills. Denver.—The Post Sunday morning says: Another electric interurban line of railway will be built from Denver, and it will penetrate a district south of this city for a distance of twenty miles. The proposed railway will be constructed from a connection with the Denver City Tramway Company's South Broadway car line at Englewood to Roxborough park, a natural beauty spot four miles below Platte canon. H. W. Hartman, one of the promoters of the Denver Terminal Company, recently absorbed by the Colorado & Southern Railway, is one of those behind the new line and with him are associated Denver, Englewood and Littleton men. The Englewood Council has granted a right of way through the town and an application will be made to the Council of Littleton. A branch line may be constructed to coal mines which have been discovered near Platte canon. A brick factory is also located near that place and other industries are being established in that section. Arrangements are reported to have been made with the Denver City Tramway company so that its lines will be used by the new railway for the discharge of passengers in the center of the city. THE TIMBER LAW STRONG EFFORT TO BE MADE FOR ITS REPEAL. AID FOR SCHOOLS AND ROADS Important Land Legislation That Is to Be Urged in Congress—Bill to Permit Prospecting and Leasing Mineral Lands. Washington.—Senator Hansbrough has reintroduced his bill of last session to repeal the timber and stone act. It provides for repeal and also that in future timber on public lands shall be disposed of by the secretary of agriculture to the highest bidder. Persons residing in the immediate vicinity of timber shall have permission under the proposed new law to cut for domestic use free of charge not more than 100,000 feet, board measure, per annum. And persons developing or working mining claims shall have free use of not more than 100,000 feet per annum for developing mines. The bill provides that twenty-five per cent. of the proceeds of sales of timber shall be devoted to school and road purposes in counties from which the timber may be sold, the residue of the proceeds to go to the reclamation fund. Senator Nelson has introduced a bill to carry into effect the President's recommendation, that coal lands shall be leased instead of sold. His bill provides that the Secretary of the Interior shall be given authority to grant permits for not exceeding one year to persons to prospect for coal, oil, graphite, asphalt, etc., on public lands and lease the lands to them upon discovery of minerals for a term to be decided by the secretary. Lessees must produce and market minerals from the lands leased without rebate or discrimination, or without attempting to form a monopoly to control the sale or price of the product of the mines. The rates and terms of leases are to be left to the decision of the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary of the Treasury has transmitted to Congress the recommendation of the Secretary of the Interior, that an immediate appropriation of $500,000 be made to carry into effect the Interior Department order requiring field examination of all land entries by a special agent before issuance of patent. The recommendation was based upon a letter submitted by Land Commissioner Richards, stating that 6,000 entries are pending in the general land office, of which 5,980 are now approved for patents, but patents not issued. Entries are coming in at the rate of 5,000 monthly, and to carry the order of the secretary into effect an appropriation of the $750,000 will be needed next year and $500,000 annually thereafter. GRAZING PERMITS. Stock Allotted to Colorado Forest Reserves. Washington.—The secretary of agriculture Wednesday allotted stock grazing permits for the coming season on Colorado forest reserves as follows: San Juan reserve, 25,000 head of cattle and horses and 188,000 head of sheep, an increase of 6,000 horses and cattle over last season. San Isabel reserve, 7,000 head of cattle and horses, 4,500 head of sheep, an increase of 1,000 cattle. Leadville reserve, 10,000 head of cattle and horses and 60,000 head of sheep. Park Range reserve, 16,000 head of cattle and horses, a reduction of 1,500 head from the present year's allotment. Montezuma reserve, 18,000 cattle and horses and 30,000 head of sheep, an increase of 3,000 cattle and horses and 10,000 sheep. White River reserve, 40,000 head of cattle and horses. Big Incorporation Fee. Denver.—With one exception, the largest ice ever paid into the state treasury for the filing of incorporation papers was that of the E. I. DuPont de Nemours Powder Company, which on the 3rd inst. handed in at the secretary of state's office a check for $18,735 in return for their certificate of incorporation. The concern is capitalized at $55,000,000, and is incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. D. C. DuPont, Alexis I. DuPont and T. S. DuPont are the incorporators, their residence being given as Wilmington, Delaware. At the office of W. C. Howard, the local agent for the company, it was learned yesterday that the company recently bought out the California Powder works, whose factory is located in San Francisco, and that the factory there and the large new factory which the DuPont people are constructing near Denver will both be operated to supply the western trade. The only other papers ever filed in the office of the secretary of state which brought a larger fee into the treasury than those of the DuPont concern, were those filed by one of the big trunk lines at the time of its reorganization, when a fee of $30,000 was paid. Denatured Alcohol. Washington.—The commissioner of internal revenue has determined to allow the shipment of denatured alcohol in tank cars just as gasoline and kerosene is now shipped. Alcohol when denatured will be piped in the tank cars under the supervision of the internal revenue collectors, and when filled, officially sealed, a tank car being considered a "package." The law does not say what the dimensions of a package may be. This method of transporting the denatured alcohol will enable its manufacturers to compete successfully as to rates with the shippers of gasoline and kerosene. Will Eject Lobbyists. Lincoln, Neb.-In the Nebraska House of Representatives Wednesday, Representative Whitman offered a resolution which provides that "if any jobbyst shows up on the floor of the House while this body is in session, the sergeant-at-arms is instructed to eject him, forcibly if necessary." The resolution was adopted by a vote of 59 to 28. VIA THE Rio Grande System COLORADO SPRINGS AND PUEBLO—Leave Denver 8:30 a. m. 7:00, 8:00 and 9:40 p. m.

Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee, Flavoring Extracts, Baking Powder and Other Manufacturing and Wholesale Business. The great wholesale grocery house of the C. S. Morey Mercantile Company in Denver gives special attention to its coffee trade, having as fine a coffee roasting plant as there is in the country, with a roasting capacity of one hundred and fifty bags of green coffee a day. Its experiments show that in the dry climate of Colorado coffee should not be held too long after roasting, and hence all coffee is shipped as soon as possible after it has been roasted. The great success this firm is having with its high-grade package coffees, such as Solitaire, Yampa, Capitol, and many others, is due to the fact that no expense is spared in keeping the blends and grades uniform and always up to the standard. Their coffee expert is one of the very best in the country and he is instructed to buy only the best coffees regardless of cost. The constant and immense increase in their coffee business shows that this fact is appreciated by the public. Another growing branch of its manufacturing business is that of its Solitaire flavoring extracts, for which an additional story has just been completed for laboratory use. None but the very finest of Mexican and Bourbon vanilla beans are used for Morey's Solitaire Vanilla, which is aged at least twelve months before it is shipped, and only the best oil of lemon that can be obtained is allowed in Morey's Solitaire Lemon. All their Solitaire extracts are as good as any made. Morey's O. K. Baking Powder, which will do the work of any cream tartar powder on the market, but which is itself a phosphate powder, is another of the firm's popular and staple productions, which is winning favor as being quite as efficient and more wholesome than cream tartar powders. Grinding and packing of high-grade, absolutely pure spices is another specialty that is bringing credit to the firm name. The company is also a direct importer of teas, in which it does a large business. The grocery part of the business is divided into departments each under the management of a man who has made a study for years of the goods in his particular line. From one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five men are employed all the time, including thirty salesmen who cover all of Colorado and parts of Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah regularly. The company's immense building on Sixteenth street, near the Union depot, on the car lines, is one of the most notable private business buildings in the city, and shelters an army of employees. It is one of the institutions that make Denver and stand for Colorado enterprise. The reputation of the house is firmly founded on the purity and genuine character of its products, which are in every instance fully up to the standard prescribed by the pure food laws, and all goods under the Solitaire label are guaranteed absolutely by the packers or manufacturers. Some men never succeed because they are afraid of doing more than their share. Denver Directory Denver Directory $22 C. O. D.

Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Peru Claims Kurokl Gen. Kuroki, the famous Japanese soldier, has been variously described as of Polish, Russian and German extraction. Another interesting chapter has been added to this genealogical symposium by an official publication in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru, which makes the claim, and submits a plausible statement of facts to prove it, that Kuroki's father was a Peruvian patriot whose name was Transito Charroqui. It is also declared that the general's father was a descendant of the Incas, who themselves are believed to have been descendants of an Asiatic race, so Kuroki is an atavism and has come into his own in the land of his fathers. Keep Your Blood Pure: No one can be happy, light-hearted and healthy with a body full of blood that cannot do its duty to every part because of its impurity; therefore, the first and most important work in hand is to purify the blood so that every organ will get the full benefit of a healthy circulation. There is no remedy so good as that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills.

Father's Good Advice. A young man from Pittsburg went to New York to "make good" in his chosen profession, says a New York letter. The other night he stood in the lobby of a hotel and a friend asked him what he thought of New York. "I have only been here two days," he replied, "so I have not seen the city very thoroughly. My father's parting words to me when I left home were: 'My son, you are going to a great city. There is much good and much evil to be found in New York. Keep to the straight and narrow path as closely as possible, avoid Wall street and, above all, beware of the monkey house.'" Insist on Insularity. The people of Cornwall's coast object to the Great Western Railway company applying foreign names to their climate and scenery. One advertisement called a certain locality the "English Riviera," and a Cornishman at a meeting of protest the other night said Cornwall had "nothing to gain by being called after something in the south of France or a dirty little Italian town." Strangely Mounted. The strangest military body in the world is a band of cavalry at Saint de Moorvay, a province on the east coast of Africa, which is under the rule of the French governor general at Madagascar. These soldiers go about their military operations on oxen. The animals are lean creatures, and it is said they move with surprising rapidity. CRIED EASILY. Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and Quit Other Things. No better practical proof that coffee is a drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it. The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drugged with coffee and tea—they both contain the drug—caffeine. Ask your doctor. An Ia. woman tells the old story thus: "I had used coffee for six years and was troubled with headaches, nervousness and dizziness. In the morning upon rising I used to belch up a sour fluid regularly. "Often I got so nervous and miserable I would cry without the least reason, and I noticed my eyesight was getting poor. "After using Postum a while, I observed the headaches left me and soon the belching of sour fluid stopped (water brash from dyspepsia). I feel decidedly different now, and I am convinced that it is because I stopped coffee and began to use Postum. I can see better now, my eyes are stronger. "A friend of mine did not like Postum but when I told her to make it like it said on the package, she liked it all right." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Lived and Died Together Martha R. Howe and Mary J. Howe, twins of Glastonbury, Conn., were together almost every minute of their 74 years of life.

Grace, the famous English cricketer, has been the recipient of many gifts from lovers of cricket as tangible proofs of their admiration of his prowess.

Picquart, French minister of war, is a sort of Admiral Crichton, for, besides a wide general cultivation, he reads, writes and speaks Russian, German and English and Italian. Such knowledge of language is not common with Frenchmen, even those of education, but Gen. Picquart's facility is explained, perhaps, by the fact that he is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have long been noted in France for the readiness with which they acquire languages. ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Remedies Brought Prompt Relief. "I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally my husband said that we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cuticura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D.

As a matter of fact, this is only incidentally, but he is trying to demonstrate that the victim of hysteria is at the same time two different persons. No Advance In Wisdom. Mark Twain tells how four years ago he was invited by the University of Missouri to go out there and receive the degree of LL. D. At the same time he visited Hannibal, his boyhood home. Just as he was about to leave, being accompanied to the station by a crowd of citizens, Tom Nash, a schoolfellow, came up—white headed, but still a boy. He shook hands with his friend of many a year and nodding toward the crowd said: "People of this town are the same blamed fools they always were, ain't they, Sam?"

But, even so, a Imprisonment not only makes the penalty more public opinion, and, better than all, it is a power being law enough and wrong when they declared that rebates had stopped. Subsequent events confirmed my conclusions. There have been 90 cases brought against railroads, persons and corporations under the interstate commerce law since Mr. Roosevelt became president, 63 of which are under the Elkins act. Fines amounting to more than $350,000 have been levied, and in two instances sentences of imprisonment were imposed. So far 23 persons and corporations have been convicted. At my suggestion the law was changed so that the courts might send railroad officers to jail. However, I do not believe that a money fine is a light or ineffectual method of punishment. But the world takes that view. "What," it asks, "do the officers of a railroad care if they are made to pay $10,000? They have plenty of money." They care a great deal. Usually, they are conspicuous men in business and society and even the church. They are called into court, convicted of breaking the law, and fined like a culprit before a police magistrate. Don't tell me they are indifferent to such shame and to such a stigma. They wear the brand the rest of their lives and are buried with it. But, even so, a day in jail is better still. Imprisonment not only makes the penalty more drastic, but it satisfies public opinion, and, better than all, it is a powerful deterrent. Quality of Woman's Loyalty By MRS.

A woman's loyalty is a question of sex. When she takes up a political cause, be sure that cause represents a man—a king, maybe, or the chief of a band of robbers, but he is her ideal for the time being. Loyalty to the best beloved is a matter of course. To the man she loves she will sacrifice everything. Honor, loyalty, truth—she will learn that which is most foreign to her nature—the secret of golden silence, more potent than speech—and become absolutely fearless when danger is nigh. The Russians are clever in having utilized women in all their political movements. They know that women under the guidance of a man will work wonders. From Jeanne d'Arc to Flora MacDonald we have no dearth of loyal heroines who risked their lives for the men they pinned their faith to and the cause they had at heart. Garibaldi's wife, and in our own days Lucie Dreyfus, are undying examples of loyalty. Napoleon's heroines, from Josephine to Bellotte, were all enthralled by a great man's magnetic personality. Goethe's old age was brightened by the spring-like sweetness of the youthful Bettina. It is this very abandon and ardor of self-sacrifice that makes a woman untrue to herself and disloyal to all but one: yet the more lovable withall for her very frailties. Women are, I grieve to state, rarely loyal to each other. There are cases of devoted feminine friendships, but they represent a truce—an armed neutrality. If a man intervenes, that friendship may turn suddenly to an active hatred, fanned by the fiery breath of jealousy. A man might give up the woman he loved to his friend, but such a sacrifice would be impossible to a woman. Love abserbs every faculty of her being, blinding her to right and wrong. Not one woman out of 20 will willingly praise another. It is always: "She is pretty, but what a pity she has such a bad figure," or something to that effect.

Like begets like, and the nervous system bows to the law of all life—the law of heredity; the law that governs your life and mine. If we are bundles of unstable nerves and abnormal susceptibilities it is but little trouble to trace the cause back to our forefathers. The youth of to-day should be educated and compelled to choose his mate in the way that fine horses and cattle are chosen. When a man comes to marrying he should choose his wife in the same way that she chooses a new dress. Love is a wonderful thing. Is is a hallucination, an illusion provided by nature to cause men and women to mate and to procreate the species. But love should be thrust in the background and relegated to the scrap heap of worn-out adages if the health and security of posterity is to be taken into consideration. Do not have your children afflicted with the evils that have been inflicted upon you. Stop falling in love with a pretty face, and get a wife who is healthy and will rear strong and wholesome children. If there should be a law passed in this country by which men and women would be compelled to undergo physical examinations and have the physical records of their ancestors investigated before a marriage would be allowed it would be the best thing that could possibly happen. If it were possible that this law could be passed hundreds of diseases, ailments and ills would be eradicated from the race. By WILLIAM H. MOODY, Attorney-General of the United States.

"Pineapple" and "love apple" (tomato) are instances of the manner in which the apple has been habitually taken as the typical fruit, the name of which is naturally borrowed in christening all sorts of fruit and vegetables that only remotely resemble it. Murray's dictionary gives an imposing list of them—Jew's apple, devil's apple, kangaroo apple, and so on. A writer of the seventeenth century speaks of "the fruit or apples of palm trees," and a fourteenth-century man says that "all manere apples that ben closed in an harde skyne, rynde, other or shale, ben called Nuces" (nuts). In the year 1,000, apparently, "earth apples" meant not potatoes, but cucumbers. And even Eve's "apple" is believed to have been a citron. Fortunate New Zealand Brides. In New Zealand, when a matrimonial engagement is announced and the happy event is believed to be within reasonable distance, it is customary for lady friends of the bride-elect to give, each in turn, a series of "engagement teas." These have distinctive appellations, suggesting the gift to be presented to the fair fiancee. Thus we have a "handkerchief tea," "d'o'key tea," "china tea," "book tea," "bracket tea," and so on. A "handkerchief tea" affords an opportunity to the donor to indulge costly and artisti-tastes. One lucky bride had no fewer than seventy lovely "hankles" presented to her. Safe at Last. Near Dupont's powder works, on Brandywine creek, Delaware, there lived an old darky who never could keep a job longer than a week before he was discharged. Those who employed him declared that he was "too all-fired tired" to work. One day he was seen on the village street with his ebony face wrinkled in deep thought. Then suddenly he broke out into a loud guffaw. Accosting a friend near by, he unbosomed as to the cause of his mirth. "Yah, yah!" he exclaimed, "dey kaint fire dis niggah dis time; I'se got er job in de powdah mill!" Origin of the "Frankfurter." The little sausage known as "Frankfurter" and "Wiener" was offered for sale for the first time in 1805, and the centennial was observed in Vienna by the Butchers' Guild. The inventor of the sausage was Johann Labner, who named it for his birthplace. Frankfurt. The business founded 10 years ago by a poor man has yielded a fortune to its various heads. It has always remained in the same family, and is now conducted in Vienna by Franz Labner, a grandnephew of the original Frankfurter sausage man. Neuer Neue Freie Presse. His Best. A minister relates how he once invited one of his deacons to go with him to the golf links for a game. The deacon knew a little of golf, but could not play well. When the game was under way the deacon, who was making many foozles, whenever he made a bat shot would say, "Croton!" He repeated the word so often in a rather profane tone of voice that the minister said: "Why do you say 'Croton' so often?" "Well," said the deacon, "that's the biggest dam I know." Yankee Cop, Bandmaster and Coach man Entertain a Visitor. "You are not always in a foreign country when you are out of the United States," said a man who was exchanging experiences with a New Orleans Picayune writer. "I was held up in a Nova Scotia coast town one evening, awaiting the arrival of a belated steamer. The only attraction in the place was an open-air concert by the town band, and I strolled out to kill time. The members of the band wore the red uniform and the British colors were suspended from the front of the stand. "I took my seat on a fence near by. Just as I got myself well balanced a cop came and courteously informed me that the fence was private property and that I would have to climb down. I obeyed orders. "While waiting for the music I chatted with the cop. The band got busy and played several numbers, all foreign airs. "When I asked the cop if he knew the leader, he said he did. I asked him to butt in and tell the leader that an American was in the crowd, and that he would like to hear something from home. "The leader obliged and the band rendered 'Old Black Joe,' 'Maryland,' 'Suwanee River,' 'Nelly Gray,' 'Yankee Doodle,' 'Dixie,' and wound up with the 'Star-Plauged Banner.' The multitude applauded and I made as much noise as was desirable. "While the band was playing this pot-pourri the cop asked: "Where are you from?' When I told him he said: 'You can get up on the fence if you won't stay too long. I'm from the United States myself.' "I gave him a cigar and we got chummy. "I told him to thank the leader for me and tell him he had made me feel as if I was not far from home. "I guess he knows how it is himself," said the cop. "He's from the states, too. He lives in Boston and comes over here in the summer to give the band lessons. He told me once that although all the members were Canucks they learned American airs quicker than any other." "After that concert I took a seat in a conveyance that took me back to my hotel. It was crowded and I sat beside the driver. He was very polite and I asked him if he was a blue nose. "Not by a long shot," he replied. "I come from Woonsocket, R. I. I'm up here to skin these Canucks and I'm doing it all right." "Then, indeed, I felt as if I was not far from home." Proper Care of a Pipe: To obtain the best results from a briar pipe and increase the pleasure of smoking, the following hints will be found of value: Fill the pipe well, light the tobacco evenly and smoke slowly. This will avoid excessive heating of the wood and will prevent it from burning. See that the tobacco is entirely consumed, so that the cake may form all over the inside of the bowl. Do not fill a new pipe until it has cooled off. Remove the cake which forms inside of the bowl frequently, as if the cake is allowed to become too thick it will split the bowl, because when heated the cake expands more rapidly than the wood. When the cake has been scraped away the same care should be taken as with a new pipe. Always keep your pipe clean; this will prevent it from getting strong. Best of all, keep several pipes in use and change frequently. It is no easy task to give direction that will insure the life and coloring of every meerschaum pipe. Much depends on the quality of the material, as also on the care exercised by the smoker. Always smoke slowly. Use a meerschaum button. Allow the pipe to cool before refilling. Keep the hands away from the bowl while it is hot. Use a top bowl if the smoker desires to color the pipe to the top. Avoid smoking the pipe out of doors in rainy or extremely cold weather. Unscrew the mouthpiece only when necessary; that is, when the pipe is clogged and needs cleaning. Use a knife with a rounded edge when it becomes necessary to remove the caking in the bowl. Peacocks for Food. Peacocks for Food. The peacock cannot well be recommended as a market bird—it is too tender in early youth, too slow in reaching maturity. But as a choice rarity the crown and cap-sheaf of a country gentleman's feast, it is unapproached and unapproachable. This was well understood throughout the age of chivalry—hence the knightly oath: "By the peacock, the heronshaw and the ladies!" Whoever swore thus was trebly bound to keep his vow. Turkeys had not yet come out of the western world to conquer a place among the "noble" birds which alone were held worthy of being served to royalty. The swan and the peacock were the chiefest among them, and bore rule even beyond the days of Queen Elizabeth. At the Christmasmas the peacock came in the state, the same as the boar's head and the brawn—Country Life in America. WE Could NOT Understand. Laura B. Payne, of Fort Worth, during her Socialist campaign for the house of representatives, sald in an address on masculine limitations: "Then there was a college professor, a very learned man, who shouted at his wife one day in an enraged voice: "I don't know what to make of you, Marla. Five years ago you were crazy to have that hat and now, when at last I've gone and bought it for you you say you don't like it at all."
