Vernon Speaks to Large Audience of Colored Y. M. C. A.--Annual Egg-Rolling at the President's Park--Second Baptist Lyceum and Its Great Work. VOL. XIII, WASHING D. C. N Register W. T. Vernon Speak ored Y. M. C. A.--Ann President's Park--Se and Its Gr Special to Colorado Statesman: Hon. W. T. Vernon was the speaker before the colored Y. M. C. A. at its mass meeting on Easter Sunday. A raw and disagreeable day had no effect on the enthusiasm with which the colored male population is rallying to the accomplishment of the noble purpose of this organization and as a consequence the distinguished speaker faced an audience which completely filled every space of Reformers Hall. His subject "The Two-Talent Man"—the average man, the man who must struggle to win, in contrast to the "five-talent man," who is destined to succeed under all circumstances, was eloquently portrayed. Each man under the sound of the speakers voice felt himself personally described and appealed to. It was the forcible, earnest address of a manly man and brother, who appreciates the hardships, struggles and disappointments of life and seeks to make so plain the path of true success, that the wayfaring man, though fool need not err therein. In the course of his remarks Mr. Vernon said "The foundation of society rests upon the moral uplift of the individual. I fear the effect of the saloons on our people far more than all the harm Ben Tillman can do us and I fear the brothels and dens of vice, which do so much to drag us down, far more than all the influence that Vardaman can bring against us." Mr. Vernon held the large audience far more than an hour and at times during his discourse was compelled to suspend while the building echoed with applause. Men, old and young, were fairly electrified with the eloquent words of the speaker and the pleasing interest and rapt attention which followed his every word and gesture seems to promise an abundant harvest of Godly lives from the seed this day sown in the hearts of men. The annual custom of egg-rolling was observed as usual on Easter Monday. This interesting and amusing ceremony which is peculiar to the Capital city is the childrens great open air Easter festival. Each year at this time, the weather permitting, a scene of life movement and color is witnessed in the Presidents park, immediately back of the White House. Little tots and big tots, white tots and black tots, rich tots and poor tots, all comingle in sportive playfulness. Eggs plain, or dyed in fancy colors; boiled hard, soft and medium, are rolled down the grassy slopes and overtaken by little flying feet. An egg becoming bruised and battered and put out of the rolling is straightway peeled, peppered and salted and shoved into a little macerater which grinds and stores it away as fuel for the eagerly restless and joyous activities of these human little engines. Until recent years access to the grounds could be bad by any respectable person at any time during the day, but it was found that damage to the grounds and shrubery was so great that some restrictions must be imposed, so that this year children were admitted between nine and one o'clock and older people, only when accompanied by little folks. In this connection it is reported that a number of little fellows reaped a respectable harvest of nickels and dimes by hiring themselves as escorts so that strangers might enter the grounds. The weather Sunday and Monday too, much to the regret of a great many persons, old and young who had new clothes to wear as well as eggs to roll, was of a prohibitive character; rain had fallen as had also the mercury, precipitating a combination of cold and dampness, not at all favorable to the enjoyment of a lawn party. In consequence there were not more than 300 or 400 youngsters at the fete whereas under more favorable weather conditions there would have been thousands. The Second Baptist Lyceum which meets each Sabbath afternoon in the lecture room of this church is noted for the intensely earnest character of its discussions DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1907. of all matters pertaining to the Negro. For a period of a dozen years it has more completely filled the idea of a popular forum than any of the other literary societies of the city. Perhaps the organization has absorbed much of the spirit of the able pastor of the church, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, who speaks, writes and thinks for himself according to whatever light he has been able to discern and not according to the impression which may have been gained and given out by some one else. Racial interests are always to the fore both in the pulpit and lyceum of the Second Baptist. Speakers of both local and national fame and of both races, have at various times occupied its rostrum and its opinion of grave affairs, recorded in resolution or petition, has had its weight in shaping events in which the Negro has been deeply interested. Sunday last formed no exception either in the features of the address or in the discussion of the same on the floor. Editor W. Calvin Chase of the "Bee" spoke for an hour on the apparent discrimination of the administration in its attitude towards Negro employes of the Government. Specific instances were cites in various departments, which give color to the opinion that there is a tentative understanding that Negroes are not to be appointed or promoted if the same can be avoided. In illustration the speaker said that there had been approximately one hundred women appointed in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in the last few months, not one of whom was colored and few if any promotions of those already in had been recorded. Mr. Chase expressed it as his opinion that a check would be put to these conditions as soon as Mr. Cortelyou was placed in possession of the facts. The speaker also reviewed the Rate and Immigration legislation of the past Congress and showed how the latter had been so ingeniously conceived and phrased as to really permit laborers to be brought into several of the southern states whenever desired. Mr. Pelham of Michigan and an employee of the Census office expressed himself as heartily in accord with what the speaker had said and sighted instances of discrimination in support of the contention of the essayist. Being himself connected with a branch of the Government which employs a number of clerks on special work in the field, he made the startling announcement that a high official of one of the departments had told a colored clerk who sought one of these assignments, that he could not be appointed to such a posi- tion for the reason that he was colored. Mr. Gilchrist Stewart of New York, who has performed such excellent work in connection with the gathering of evidence in favor of the brave boys of the 25th was present and made an eloquent address on the subject of the shooting-up of Brownsville. Mr. Stewart assured the audience that the friends of the soldiers had in no sense exhausted all of their ammunition and that when the evidence was all in there would be no possible doubt of the innocence of the colored soldiers. NEGRO MEAT INSPECTOR Pittsburg, Pa.—Wholesale meat circles in the Pittsburg district are torn to their insides as a result of a "beef" made by some of the packers because of the placing here of Ernest Walker, a Negro inspector of meat employed by the Government. One firm took the bull by the horns and declared that no Negro would pass upon the dressed carcases it sent out from its place, but the government put a skiver through the hide of the objecting packers and refused to travel with the drove on the particular range that is the home of bucking steers. For three days the company browsed serenely without having the watchful eye of the black Government shepherd looking over its product. 'Then there was need ed some meat to fill orders to go out or the state, and as the Government required the inspection of all meat dusted for interstate commerce, the company had to send in a request for a Government inspector, and it got the Negro. As race prejudice was not to be allowed to interfere with business, the Negro was allowed to look over the meat and attach Uncle Sam's stamp to the cattle, sheep, lambs and hogs out. It was stated, however, that nothing unusual was done at the packing house to make the work especially pleasant for Walker. Walker came to this city from Kansas City in December and has been working every day since with the exception of the three days that one company barred him from its packing house. Walker was appointed from St. Louis, where his home is, and he is said to be a capable inspector. It was stated that the only reason he is objected to is that he is a Northern Negro. Walker has not had any trouble in any packing house except one. There are five meat inspectors and six veterinary inspectors who take care of the Pittsburg district, former getting $1,000 and the latter $1,200 a year. Walker is the first Negro who has ever done any Government meat inspection in this district. The case of Walker was referred unofficially to high officials in the Government meat inspection department but the local packers were given to understand that he will remain here until the government sees fit to transfer him. Inspectors are constantly being changed around the country, and they are never located in one city for any particular length of time. In the cities also they are moved about the general system being te have a man a month at one place and then transfer him to some other packing house. There is a scarcity of men qualified to act as meat inspectors, as many who are able to do the work will not take positions at the salaries offered by the Government. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Some of the famous pictures of Henry O. Tanner, the Negro painter, will be on exhibition at the Jamestown Exposition.

Lynden, one of the best known local physicians of Union, by Lucy Litz, a Negro woman to-day. The woman walked into the doctor's office and drawing a pistol killed him instantly. She was arrested but refuses to discuss the tragedy. After a frightful experience when cries of "lynch him," burn "him" reached his ears, the Negro held for assault and murder of an infant at the Tolbert home, in Fairmount, Ga., proved an alibi and was given his liberty. Several other Negroes have been taken in custody, but in each instance they proved to be innocent of the crime. NO. 29. What consists of a "white" man? This is no small or unimportant matter, been commonly accepted that a person with the least infusion of Negro blood is not a white person, but a Negro. But by a recent decision of a Virginia court all this has been reversed. The law of Virginia which has been recently been brought to light declares that any person with less than one-fourth Negro blood is a "white" person. The first civil rights case to be tried in the municipal courts of Chicago, occured yesterday when Judge Foster finel the Oriental Shanghai $25 for refusing to serve E. J. White, a Negro, and friend, on October 19, of last year. White testified that one of the waiters approached him and announced that the restaurant did not serve Negroes.

The two were employed by the same family at Bedford station. The Times-Dispatch of Richmond, Va., of a few days ago says: The police are looking for two young white men who are alleged to have assaulted Maggie Rowland a Negro chambermaid at the Virginia hospital.

She said the young men had done the damage. Sergeant Whitlock told her he would report the matter. The woman bore all the marks of respectability. She was weeping when she told her tale.

In some parts of New Mexico they grow a grass which produces a somniferous effect on the animals that graze upon it. Horses, in nearly all cases, after eating the grass sleep standing, while cows and sheep almost invariably lie down. It has occasionally happened that travelers have stopped to allow horses to feed in places where the grass grows pretty thickly and the animals have had time to eat a considerable quantity before its effects manifested themselves. In such cases horses have gone to sleep on the road, and it is hard to arouse them. The effect of the grass passes off in an hour or two, and no bad results have ever been noticed on account of it. Cattle on the ranches frequently come upon patches of this grass, where they feed for perhaps half an hour, and then fall asleep for an hour or more, when they wake up and start feeding again. The program is repeated perhaps a dozen times, until thirst oblives them to go to water. Whether, like the poppy, the grass contains opium, or whether its sleep producing property is due to some other substance is not known. Utilizing a Mud Turtle A feat which in ingenuity equals that of Solomon, who, tradition, says, threaded an intricately pierced stone by means of a hair tied to a living worm, is reported by an up-state engineer. "A long sewer in an up-state city recently became clogged," he says. "The problem of clearing it was solved in this way: A ball of twine was tied to the shell of a mud turtle, the little animal was put into the entrance of the sewer and a stream of water was turned on. The turtle burrowed its way through the refuse, was 'watered on' at each manhole, and emerged victorious at the outlet. A rope attached to the twine, a swab, and strong arms accomplished the rest swiftly and economically."—New York Times. Hours 9 to 1 a. m. 1 to 4. 7 to 6 p. m. Sunday, 10 to 11:30 a. m. 2 to 4 p. m.

GET DOWN TO BRASS TACKS A Innovation in Law Making That Set Corporations in a Whirl of Enjoyment Excitement. The work done by a reform legislature— A 2-cent passenger fare law. The creation of a state railway commission. An anti-pass law. A maximum freight rate law. A fellow-servant law. A law reducing charges made by commission merchants at stock yards. A direct primary law. A pure food law. A child labor law. Lincoln, Neb.-The foregoing list shows the more important reform measures passed by the Nebraska legislature, which has just closed its thirtieth session. Other measures include a law prohibiting railway companies from employing night operators or towermen under the age of twenty-one years; a bulk sales law; a law abolishing bucket shops, and a law putting breweries out of the saloon business. So much reform legislation has been enacted in Nebraska this year that the legislature has easily gone beyond the demands made by the people at the last election. From the first day of the session, the watchword of the legislature was "Reform." On many of the more important measures political lines seemed to have been entirely wiped out. In very few of the speeches made at the session just closed have the political parties figured as such. The members almost invariably referred to what the "people" demanded—not what this party or the other demanded. It can be safely said that this is the first legislature in Nebraska's history that has carried out all of the promises made by its members in their efforts to be elected. Although there has been a lobby throughout the session it has been a small one and it has been careful in its actions. It has been exceedingly uncomfortable, in fact, for a lobbyist. All of the lobbying, so far as the keenest observers have been able to see, has been done without the use of money. Corporations which in other years maintained expensive quarters, furnished free service, kept drinks and cigars, and held "open house" during the session, have this year had simply one or two quiet representatives in Lincoln. No other session of a legislature in Nebraska was ever like it for decency. The Committee of One Hundred. Business men of Colorado have by the organization of what is known as the "Committee of One Hundred" begun a systematic campaign to advertise a "Greater Colorado." It is planned to raise a fund of $10,000 for this work. The fund will be expended through the medium of the Colorado State Commercial Association, working in harmony with the Committee of One Hundred. The need of a campaign to thoroughly advertise Colorado in all parts of the country is best shown by comparison with what is being done in other states. California, for example, is this year spending $750,000 for the purposes of advertising the state. Other western states are also spending large sums, Colorado being in the rear in this regard. As a consequence the increase in population, industries of various kinds, etc., has not been in proportion in Colorado to what it has been in other states. For example, the alien immigration to Colorado for 1906 showed an increase of twenty-two per cent, ever that for 1905. Arizona, however, showed an increase in immigration of fifty-four per cent; Utah, forty-seven per cent; Nevada, thirty-one per cent; Nebraska, thirty-two per cent; and Oregon, thirty-two per cent. The Committee of One Hundred is composed of representative men from all parts of the state. In securing the funds each section of the state will be asked to contribute. Larimer county has already given $1,000 to this fund, and Weld county, $500. In addition, large subscriptions have been received from business houses and individuals. The campaign is to be a systematic one, and every part of the state will be represented in the work. The Committee of One Hundred has been organized with Mr. James D. Husted, chairman, and Dr. C. M. Heberton of Boulder, vice chairman. The headquarters have been established at 1740 Stout street, Denver. Colorado College Gets Boost. Colorado Springs, Colo.—Pledges aggregating $263,000 towards the additional endowment fund of Colorado College have been received, according to an announcement just made by William F. Sloum. Encouraged by the generous donation, the college will make a strong effort to secure a total of $450,000 in subscriptions, on which depends the recent donation of $50,000 by the Rockefeller General Education Board. The board was allotted this sum on condition that the college secure $450,000 from other sources. Since the college has secured $213,000 in pledges, in addition to the $50,000 from the Rockefeller board, there remains but $237,000 to be subscribed. Colorado College already has an endowment fund of nearly $500,000, and if it is successful in the present campaign, the endowment fund will aggregate $1,000,000. In addition to the $50,000 pledge additional by the Rockefeller board, the following amounts have been pledged within the last few months: Gen. William J. Palmer. $100,000; Andrew Carnegie. $50,000, and $10,000 each by J. M. Belis of this city, Henry Wolcott of Denver, and Miss Helen Gould of New York. FISH AND GAME WARDENS NAMED Denver—Announcement of twenty three appointments in the state game and fish department was made by Commissioner David E. Farr. Ten of them are re-appointments. All were agreed upon in the conference of Governor Buchtel, Chairman Vivian of the Republican state committee and Commissioner Farr. Some significant changes were made in the personnel of the department. Three place were left unfilled for the present. They are superintendents of the Denver, Del Norte and Sulphur Springs hatcheries. The Del Norte hatchery has not yet been built, while the one at Sulphur Springs is not yet in commission. The Denver hatchery is not yet the property of the state. Following are the appointments in full: General Superintendent State Fish Hatcheries—W S Kincaid, Denver Superintendent Routt County Hatchery—W J Breckel, Steamboat Springs Superintendent Gunnison Hatchery—W H Corum, Gunnison Superintendent La Plata Hatchery—L S Barnes, Durango Superintendent Emerald Lakes—J. F. Gamsby, Durango Deputy Game and Fish Commis- sioner—C. W. Lake, Golden Chief Game Warden First Oblast— W D. Wilsom, Creede Deputy Game Warden, First District —A. R. Hodges, Ouray Autos to be Built in the West. A form of manufacturing hitherto almost exclusively controlled by eastern people is to be established in the shape of a large automobile manufactory situated at Denver, and a representative of the mechanical engineering department of the University of Colorado is now working upon the technical details of the new auto car. The high altitude of this and the neighboring states demands certain special features in automobiles which those made in a lower part of the country do not fulfill. The air compression must be greater, for instance, and cars which answer the condition of this climate possess a better efficiency when used near the sea level, but those made where the atmospheric pressure is greater are not so successful here. It is with this idea in view and the hope to secure a production which will combine the good points of several of several of the best automobiles, that the new factory is to be established. Mr. H. G. Venemann of the engineering department of the University of Colorado has been conducting a series of mechanical and thermal tests to determine the efficiency of the engine. An extensive plant is to be erected, and plans for a large building have been drawn. Kept From Dying Father. Chicago.—At the end of a 2,000-mile journey Mrs. Helen Browning of the state of Washington has been denied audience with her dying father. Between them stands her mother, still bitter because of the daughter's marriage many years ago against parental opposition. Resolutely she has refused her daughter even admittance to the house. The dying man is William Sage of Waukegan. Stricken with paralysis as the result of a runaway accident at a funeral a year ago, in the last week he had grown rapidly worse. Friends of the family wrote Mrs. Browning that to see her father again alive she would have to hasten. Reaching her former home in Waukegon yesterday she was met at the door by her mother. With tears streaming she implored admittance, but the mother was obdurate and she was turned away with bitter reproaches. Mrs. Browning now is at a hotel at Waukegan. In agony lest her father die before her mother relents, she consulted an attorney in the afternoon in the hope that she might through legal proceedings reach him and ask the forgiveness which her mother withholds. Marries Choice of Dying Wife. Philadelphia.—Fulfilling the oft-expressed wish of his late wife, Baron Gustavus Von Palm married her intimate friend, Miss Louise Frances Stradling, last Saturday. Baron Von Palm, though a descendant of an ancient, but poor Viennese family, is a substantial American and the architect of his own fortune. He is now fifty-three years old, and is the senior of his bride by twenty-three years. His paintings can be found in many famous galleries. Miss Stradling, who resides at Newtown, Pennsylvania, met the baroness while studying music in Boston. They became fast friends and the baron's wife frequently requested him, in case of her death, to make Miss Stradling his wife. The marriage was performed at the law office of Hugh Roberts, a cousin of the bride, at No. 17 North Jupiter street. Rev. Jacob Sallade of the Temple Baptist Church officiated.

EMBLEM LEGISLATION. We take pains in this article to call attention of fraternity men to Senate Bill No. 261 introduced by Senator Anfenger, entitled an act to confer exelusive rights and use of badges, insignia and emblems for benevolent and secret orders and to provide a remedy for violation and a penalty for the unlawful use of such insigna, pins, buttons, charms or ‘watch guards. Section 1 of the bill reads as follows: **Whenever any association of persons organized into a benevolent or secret order has heretofore adopted or used a badge, rosette, emblem or insignia for the purpose of being by its members to indicate member: ship, it shall be unlawful for any person to imitate such insignia or to use, sell, offer for sale or to in any way to utter, circulate any imitation or counterfeit under a penalty of $300 fine or imprisonment of three months or both at the discretion of the court.’’ Other sections of the bill provide for registration of emblems and the securing of a certifi- cate from the secretary of state. The Colorado Statesman calls attention of colored fraternity men to this bill and asks that it be investigated by secretaries of various orders, as it looks like there is something dark in it. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. The grandeur with which this great American exhibition is to give to the world the progress made by the American people since the land- ing of the Puritains in 1607 is just beginning to dawn on the American people. The location of the exposition at Hampton Roads in sight of the great Potomae and Chesapeake bay makes it an ideal place to spend a few weeks. ; The Negro progress is to be fnlly shown in a separate building. Dr. W. T. Vernon has written the Colorado Statesman of the coming of Prof. W. W. Fisher, Topeka, Kansas, to this city in the interest of the Negro department. Professor Fisher is a scholarly gentleman fired with enthusiasm as to the excellent opportunity given the colored people of the United States to show their progress along side of others. He has heen speaking before the churches and the Alliance and visiting homes and individuals in the interest of getting our people to send their produets for examination and display. Professor Fisher has been favor. ably received and accorded many honors and has succeeded in seeuring the promise of many things from Colorado and Denver fo go ao James. town. It is not yet too late for many of our people to arrange to have articles on display. THINGS POLITICAL. Politieal aspirants begin to loom up on the horizon us the time be- gins to dawn for a suecessor to President Roosevelt. Perhaps the two stars of greatest magnitude that are attracting the greatest attention at this time is the threatened contest between Senator Foraker and Seere- tary Taft for honors in Ohio. Senator Foraker has not minced mat- ters, but has openly invited Champion Taft into the arena, the winner to take all and the loser to lay down. At present writing no one is jnaking haste to fall over themselves to accept the Ohio senator’s chal- lenge and it looks like nobody is going to be able to head the fearless senator off except it be Roosevelt personally. The colored people would unite on Senator Foraker. He is an ag- gressive fighter but not of the impetus nature of President Roosevelt. Being a lawyer and trained in the policy, statssmanship and commer- cial technique 'the people and nation would feel safe in his hands. ‘There is as yet no decided tendency or even indicative the proverbial straw to show, the way the wind will blow, but they are prepared to raise a storm,on short notice in Ohio and a Foraker cyclone would be a hard thing to head off. The Colorado Statesman is not attempting to prog- nosticate the future or pick the presidential winner, but it would not he diffieult for us even now to assert who would be our choice and the choiee of two-thirds of the colored voters. COLONY FARMS, Eastern philanthropists are about to start a project near Greeley, ‘Colorado, which is only a few miles from Denver, where deserving peo- ple will be supplied with free lands and improved implements to start life anew and on ati independent scale. Helen Gould is said to. be be- hind the plan and contemplates spending $300,000 to put the project upon an economic and self sustaining foundation. There is to.be no dis- crimination of nationality or color, but deserving and industrious peo- ple who want to make a home and an independent living out in the free air, beaming sunshine and health-giving atmosphere can do so. Here is an opportunity for the enterprising colored people of Colorado and the South to look into. The Colorado Statesman is.very anxious to ‘call attention to this project and advise that you at once investigate it. We shall keep on file in our office informaion regarding the colony and its progress and shall be glad to supply you details about it through the columns of our paper or by private letter. We have always said that the overerowded, crime-producing cities were not the most’sanitary or moral cultivating places to raise children, get a start or build a home und we see no reason to change our opinion. Now that the way is open- ing to go on a ranch of ten to forty acres of the best farming land in Colorado. Don't neglect your chance. THE LABOR OUTLOOK. The general reviewer of industrial conditions declares that these are prosperous times. So unprecedented is the demand for labor, accord- ing to this same authority, that ‘there is no need for anyone who really wishes work to remain idle these days. In fact, it is represented the de- mand for laboring men can not be readily filled and every section of the country is suffering from a dearth of laborers. But this, ina certain de- xree, is strange news to some people who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows, and to them there is a grain of irony in the ery that has gone out to the world that ‘‘the harvest is truly great, but the laborers are-few."” For that ery is bringing thousands of foreigners to our shores evry year, and a very large percentage of the immigration thus induced comes with no well defined idea of assimilating itself with American ideals, but rather brings with it an unswerving faith in European stan- dards, despite the beggared conditions that have forced them to seek an Eldorado from which they may recoup their dwindled stores. But the point of wonderment is reached when it is realized that these foreigners are taking’the places of a native labor element whose every tendency is American and whose every dollar is spent or retained in the country where it is earned. In this problem of labor supply there is a very curious and conflicting application of ideas as to where the Negro comes in, and in most instances it is a greater question of where he goes out rather than where he comes in. For this unprecedented demand for la- bor, which reaches so far as to be heard and answered in the remote corners of the old world, is one which largely leaps over the head of the willing and not unreliable Nezro at home. Of course, in some cases where it seems necessary, there is a claim of unreliability placed against him, but in other cases, where the excuse is not demanded by immediate | conditions, the Negro seems to be given little if any consideration at all. For instance, the commissioner of agriculture and immigration of Virginia says: ‘*In my offieial capacity I ean vouch for the statement that a desirable class of labor, capable of farm work, can be placed in large numbers in every section of Virginia, amid surroundings that will be found agreeable. There need be no fear that such labor will be placed on a footing with the Negro. The farmer has fully realized,’’ says this commissioner, ‘*that the Negro can no longer be depended upon, und is seeking the help whieh will enable him to cultivate his lands with cer- tainty.”? So badly does the South necd laborers, it is represented, that it will ‘receive with open arms Working immigrants. Italians are especially be- ing invited to take the place of the Negro in the raising of cotton, al- reservation that Negroes who will work are gladly hired. ‘There is a flat eontrodietion in the assurance that Italian or other foreign labor will not be plaecd on a footing with the Negro, and the reservation that Negroes that will work are gladly hired. Back of it all is a long period of systematic injustice imposed upon the Negro laborer. As « slave and as a freeman, his labor has made the South all that it is industrially to-day, but the gradation of wages paid him would be an interesting investigation. The contract and other labor laws of the South, the oppressive methods long in yozue to keep Negro labor cheap and servile and the general, direful and in- human restrictions put upon his natural ambition to rise above and get entirely away from the conditions of slavery, have born their natural fruit. The Negroes in large numbers have left the rural districts for the cities, while others have acquired their own lands and have became their own masters. But after all, it would seem that there is yet sufficient Negro labor in the South to meet all demands if it were put on a square deal footing and not kept on a plane which arounses the suspicions of would-be im- migrant labor, ‘There,is a yast fund of native labor supply in the United States which might be made and kept the souree of immense in- dustrial possibilities, if principles of wisdom and justice governed American activities. 4444444444444 44444645455 4 44 4444444444444554544544454444 Woman's Winning Card: Os Mt Brains or Beauty? HERE was, unless this is some half-forgotten fairy tale, once upon a time, an age when a woman’s only ambition was to win the love of her husband and children. But in these times of competition, when women are striving with men in the con- test of life, the brains of the fairer sex are occupied with sm- bitions of a less sentimental kind. The changed times and circumstances by which she is surrounded have forced woman to take upon herself this difficult task, for so we must consider it, when we see how many more qualifications a woman must possess than a man. unless she is to mect with dead failura as she climbs up the hill to suecess. Provided a man has brains and knows how to use them, no more is required of him. Attractive manners and a pleasant face, should he pus- sess them, will be by no means a disadvantage, but a man can easily cem- mand a good position in the world be he the ugliest mortal that was ever created. But with a woman matters are very different. How much trath ‘there is in the assertion that genius must one day assert itself depends, I think, on whether genius goes to work in the right manner! At any rate, a beautiful woman will not take long to discover that as long as man has the power of dispensing this world’s goods, her beauty, providing she has brains enough to use her opportunities, will take her by a short cut to fame. Supposing a woman with brains and beauty is contending with a ‘woman absolutely devoid of charm, it is the former who is bound to win. See what a powerful weapon she possesses! Every door at which she knocks will be opened. “I came, I was seen, I conquered,” she will ex- claim ; whilst “I came, I was seen (and when the person I was interview- ing was polite), I was told I should be borne in mind and promptly for- gotten,” will be the reflection of the other. A woman whose mind is her only ‘dower is seriously handicapped. All through her career she haa to strain every nerve, and create for herself those opportunities which are laid at the fect of her beautiful sister. Besides intellect appears so much greater when it belongs to a beautiful woman. Short and not too diffi- cult will be the ascent of the one, whilst the other, crawling for an inch, only to be knocked back and to be forced to begin again, will find it hard, wearisome drudgery. But fortunately for the welfare of mankind, brains and beauty are ‘not too often found in combination. Beauty alone is not dangerous. It ‘attracts, but its influence is not lasting. A brainless beauty generally suf- /fers the same fate as a beautiful ornament, which is purchased and placed [on one side to be looked at’ when time permits, Though the woman of remarkable beauty will always be able to com- mand admiration, it is the woman with brains who holds in her hands the trumps of the game of life, But the lady will have to remember that her end must be won as a woman and not as a poor imitation of a man. astonishing thing: these people give much attention to religious ‘ques- tions, The pursuit of riches, the appetite for power, the immoderate love of earthly joys are all contrary to the evangelical spirit, which preaches renunciation, abnogation, humility, and the abhorrence of tem- en wealth. One is less astonished when one reflects that the human soul has at all times known how to conciliate the most strarge contradic. tions. All that one sees over there appears at a distance like a sort of mirage, as something beyond the real, because this world is in a state of transition, because there is nothing definite and all is in reality prepara- tion in a new world. Possibly it will take several centuries for it to re- ceive its perfect form. In the meantime, should we not fear that the old world, weary with its past, which it cannot revive, and the burden of which 1s always increasing, may tend to recrepitude and death? ‘Time alone can solve these questions, When, in the slow movement of the uni- verse, in place of the pale star of the Little Bear, the North Pole shall reveal in the heavens the brilliant star of the Lyre, humanity will indeed be changed.

If, however, his heart has not been damaged, his training in coordination may haye been neglected, and so render his large muscles useless. It seems to me, speaking purely from my own experience among many thousands of men, that the physically strong man, as trained by, let us say, the original Sandow system, stands the inroads of disease badly. I recall a perfect giant of muscular strength who rowed for three years in the Cambridge boat and very nearly died from an attack of influ- enza, while his sister, who was a woman of poor physique, not only passed through an attack uneventfully, but also nursed him while he was stil] ill. How often does the “strong” man show such signs of degencration as baldness or premature gray hair? Seldom does the “strong” man reach a happy and healthy old age. Physical culture should always have an end in view bearing on the man’s ayocation. The first thing to be taught in all physical culture is the avoidance of strain, and next the imperative duty of keeping the mouth open. Carriage is another important detail and correct ways of walking and standing. Avoidance of fatigue is an important point. A good brisk walk in the fresh air, with free breathing and good style, is as useful a form of physical exercise as any I know. ieee eat) AU ee Ry Sa let ake Se AER WON ee arr) | Don’t forget wegive S.& H. green trading stamps 4 uJ D CEE kL et tt lad Lo S-9 ad Tomorrow we place on sale 50 Eton Jacket Suits, made or fancy checked Panama Cloths, black, brown and navy Panama Cloths and shadow plaids; Jackets all lined with satin and neatly trimmed with fancy braids and straps of silk; skirts made in new plaited effects—at..........

So have others, high and low, thousands and millions before you. You have acted hastily, impulsive- ly, and doggedly. So all men act who think strongly and feel deep- ly. But slowly the wrong you have done a hundred black men and their ten million fellows, has struggled doubingly, determinedly to the light, and sits to-day in sil- ent judgment on yoursoul. I will not say thatthe 25th Infantry haye absolutely proven their entire innocence, but I do say and the whole country agrees, that they have raised adoubt as to their guilt—a doubt so real, so firm so reasonable that no court in Chris- tendom would convict them in the faee of it. You have convicted them, You thought them guilty. Their guilt is to-day unproven. You know it is unproven. You kvow that their innocence is so near proven that the nation sits dumb before their testimony. The nation is watching you.

It is the secret of their wealth. And thus, when, one morning I came across Pere Trebaré munching a withered pear while he sunned himself beside the snug barn and asked the old man why he did not choose & good one from his fine cror he exclaimed: “Ah! but, monsieur, we might sell it!” ‘The character of the shrewd Nor man Is interesting. Never will he give you a direct answer; a definite “yes” or “no” seems to have been expressly left out of his vocabulary. “It is a fine morning,” I ventured to a grizzled old dealer in oxen. “It might be worse,” he answered. “That's splendid cider of yours, Le grosjean.” “Some say it is,” he retorted guard. edly, Neither does the true Norman ever seem pleased or satisfied. “Beautiful apples this year, Pere Mallet." “Bah! they are so few,” he replies, gloomily, with a shrug of his should- ers. The next year the tree are bent under the weight of a rich crop, and you hail this rich old agriculturist as you pass his gateway: “Plenty of elder this year, Pere Mallet, you surely have enough apples,” you say convincingly as the old peasant looks up from his work to bid_you bon jour, “They are so small,” he groans, “1! take more time to pick them than they are worth.” DESCRIBES WARSHIP OF FUTURE, English Naval Expert Says Steam Boller and Funnels Must Go.

GIRLS WORK BIG LAND DEAL. Raise $750,000 to Finance Purchase of 1,600,000 Acres in Mexico. St. Joseph, Mo.—The biggest iand deal ever made by two Missourians has just been completed by two very brainy and ambitious young women, Misses Helen Kimber and Nellie How ard, who have become sole owners of 1,690,000 acres of grazing, mineral and agricultural land in northern Mexico The sum paid for this land is $750 000, or a little more than 50 cents an acre. The money was raised fom Missouri banks and trust companies and personal friends of the young women, who have implicit confidence in their ability, judgment and ult. mate success in converting the vast tracts into profitable gains, Attention was first called to their extensive operations in western Kap- sas and Colorado lands three yeary ago. They came to St. Joseph from Cottonwood Falls poor in purse, but exceedingly ambitious and active, as agents for a western raitway in dis posing of tracts secured direct from the government a generation or more ago in grants. Ports Labas and Libertad on the Gulf of California, and a strip 9% miles long touching Arizona, are iv- cluded in the purchase. PROPHET PREDICTS OWN DEATH.

WAS HIS ARM SHOT OFF? Connecting Evidence Leads Officers to Belief That They Have Solved Lamar Murder t.lystery. Denver.—Fiiin in the belief that John C, Bragg, who committed suicide at City park March 2ist by swallow- ing a quantity of arsenic, was a part- ner and accomplice of Andrew John- son, the man now held for the murder of Night Marshal James H. Frisble of Lamar, and that he committed sulcide through fear of arrest, Sherif! Frank ‘Thomas of Lamar, who came to this city yesterday to remove Johnson from. the Denver county jail to Pueblo, spent most of the day in gathering data, to substantiate his theory. He visited the county hospital and received an opinion from the surgeons: there who amputated on Bragg for the amputation of his left arm, to the effect that the arm was not lost in a sawmill, as Bragg stated when he went to the hospital, but had been shot off. Thomas himself shot in the left arm one of the men who participated in the murder of, Frisbie, and he believes that man was Bragg. The amputation took place at the county hospital shortly after Christmas, and the murder of Frisbie occurred December 26th, so that Brags would have had plenty of time to reach this city. Sheriff Thomas also visited the coroner's office and secured a de- scription of Bragg, which tallies almost exactly with that of the taller of the two men who murdered Frisbie, and who was shot in the left arm, in the running battle which followed before they made their escape. Johnson was arrested at Astor, Kan- sas, after a desperate pistol duel. Last Saturday he pleaded guilty to the charge of robbing the United States mails, in the Federal Court at Pueblo, and was sentcneed to five years’ im- prisonment at Fort Leavenworth. He was removed from the custody of the civil authorities at Pueblo for this pur- pose, but Sheriff Thomas yesterday succeeded in convincing Judge Lewis that the Lamar authorities had suffi- cient evidence to convict Johnson of the murder of Marshal Frisbie, and he. suspended sentence on him in order that he might be tried on that charge. | IN THE BALANCE OF JUSTICE. Benjamin C. Wright May Never Be Convicted on Charge ieee ae ae Denver—The trial of Benjamin C. Wright, charged with the murder of his wife and little girl, ts set for April 29th. In the office of the district attorney doubt and uncertainty prevail. ‘The confession secured by the police and published with discordant blare of trumpets has been read and dissected and the result is unsatisfying. ‘The Wright case may never go to trial and the nolsy claims of the police, Instead of aiding justice, have clouded the trial. Behind the fron bars of his cell at the West Side Court Wright passes the weary hours gazing blankly Into the future and vainly trying to compre- hend the mysterious past. “I must have done it,” Wright told the police. “Who else could have done it?” he said. ‘These, the words of a man dazed and crushed by a blow that was little less than a catastrophe, are not builded upon by the district attorney to con- vince a jury that the unfortunate young man is the monster the police would paint him. ‘Theorles of all kinds to support the charge that Wright committed the dou- ble murder have been advanced, run down and exploded. ‘The wife and child are dead and beyond that fact there is a baffling mystery which neither the police nor the district at- torney have been able to throw Hght upon, and which the “confession” ren- ders, if possible, more obscure. ‘The Wright case was to have been called for Monday, April 224, but on motion of Attorney Harry B. Kelly, counsel for the prisoner, a continuance of a week was granted. ‘The district attorney’s office recos- nizes the difficulty of trwing to fix the verdict of guilty upon Wright and the continuance was agreeable to the rep- resentative of that office.

Wonderful Growth of a Large Mana- factory at Denver, Colorado, It would be interesting to know what percentage of the population of the western states knows that in Denver fs a manufacturing concern deyoted to the needs of the great army of work- ing people in the big broad West. Cer- tainly tt would be a very large propor- tion, for the Underhill Manufacturing Company senda its goods broadcast over the whole Rocky mountain and Paeific region, from Mexico to Canada.

Junior week at University of Colorado, at Boulder, beginning April 16th, will be a big affair this year. The usual batch of "ruined fruit" reports are coming in, and it is all laid to the door of poor old Jack Frost. The grain plant mouse is doing damage to winter wheat in the Niwot and Gunbarrel Hill districts in Boulder county. The hazing students expelled from the School of Mines at Golden, have been causing the faculty all kinds of anxiety. William T. Jerome, district attorney of New York, anticipates coming to Colorado for a rest as soon as he can Thaw out The Trinidad Trades and Labor Assembly, which has been out of commission for four months, has been rejuvenated Prosper McCulloch was sentenced to the penitentiary from Montrose for stealing horses. Here is a Prosper who didn't prosper. The Erte Boosters are pushing their old uncle, Success, right up the tree, and he is reaching right out for the apple of reward. Dr. I. E. Newsome has resigned as member of the Agricultural college faculty to become state meat and slaughter house inspector. John Girdler was elected leader of the University of Colorado Glee club, and Fred Castelucchi re-elected leader of the Mandolin club. The "Better Boulder" municipal ticket won out, and the Boulder Herald is justly crowing over the victory. The Herald made a hard fight. The School of Mines' strike is off, and the bazy atmosphere has lifted from the stately brow of Lookout mountain, and all is forgiven. A Denver woman run down a plain citizen with her automobile the other day. Plain citizens will have to take to the roofs or the subway. A. A. Johnson has been appointed to the position of superintendent of the mineral department of the State Land Board, at a salary of $2,000 a year. J H. Hood sustained a fracture of one of his legs, caused by the fall of a rock while he was working in a mine near Lafayette, Monday morning. A supposed unknown crazy woman is creating consternation in the camp at Morrison. She comes down out of the mountains and then runs back. A workmen retiring from Panama says there is a great deal of unrest among the laborers down there, and that there is liable to be a strike any day. Rev. Hiram Bullis, rector of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church at Glenwood Springs, has received a call from Evanston, Wyoming, and has gone thither. Dr. William Edgar Gell, the author and traveler, is lecturing in Colorado on "Cannibals—Before and After Taking." But why should he come to Colorado? District Court is in session at Canon City, and a dispatch says "the docket is full of liquor cases." The docket will, perhaps, be tried under the new local option law. The little cabin that sheltered President Roosevelt near the head waters of Divide Creek, thirty miles southwest of Glenwood Springs, has been destroyed by fire. H. H. Daniels, of Denver, drew the position of appraiser for the State Land Board, at $1,500 per. This is one of the new berths created by the late General Assembly. The Colorado editor who says he "will take wood or anything else he can eat on subscription," will run across an elm knot one of these days and break the teeth in his buzz-saw. Some of the housewives of Denver are smarting under the cruel imposition imposed upon them by horseradish manufacturers who are embalming their ground product in poisonous sulphuric acid instead of vinegar. Miss Grace Harrison of Colorado Springs has learned that there is more undisputed room back of a moving steam engine than there is in front of it; but the engine tore the rear of her unabout off in demonstrating the fact. The new state board of health held its first meeting in the capitol building, and organized for the biennial period. Dr. W. H. Davis was elected president; Dr. Minnie C. T.

Tom Prosser, the negro reported burned to death, in a fire at Pueblo one night last week, gave some of his friends a severe shock by showing up the other day. "Why, Ah nevah knew I'm been dead," was his protestation when informed of his supposed cremation. Dr. George L. Knapp, a Denver newspaper editorial writer, went to Pueblo last Sunday and delivered a lecture on "Animal Life," and he said he was glad to know the human race is getting tired of trying to prove itself poor relations to the angels, and that we can own kinship to the faithful dog. But, doctor, maybe the dog won't be as patient and charitable with us as the angels are.

The kidneys have a great work to do in keeping the blood /ure. When they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness, languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S. A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before they get out of order it causes backache, headaches, dizziness, languor and distressing urinary troubles. Keep the kidneys well and all these sufferings will be saved you. Mrs. S.A. Moore, proprietor of a restaurant at Waterville, Mo., says: "Before using Doan's Kidney Pills I suffered everything from kidney troubles for a year and a half. I had pain in the back and head, and almost continuous in the loins and felt weary all the time. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills brought great relief, and I kept on taking them until in a short time I was cured. I think Doan's Kidney Pills are wonderful."

Ida Lewis recently celebrated her aftieth year as keeper of the Lime island lighthouse in the harbor of Newport, R. I. As a girl and woman Ida Lewis has lived a remarkable life. Her bravery and skill in handling a boat are well known and her fame is secure as the great woman life saver in the world, for she has the credit of having saved no less than 18 lives, most of her rescues having been effected in the face of extreme danger and in winter. As keeper of the Lime island lighthouse, to which post she was appointed in recognition of her bravery and record as a life saver on the death of her father, Miss Lewis has shown herself as careful and efficient as a man could be. She is one of the few women in such a position. SARSAPARILLA TIME. Make Your Own Sarsaparilla or Spring Blood Medicine. Mix one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargon, three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well in a bottle and take one teaspoonful after meals and again at bedtime. Any good druggist can supply these ingredients. This is said to be a splendid Spring Blood Tonic and system renovator because of its gentle action in restoring the Kidneys to normal activity, forcing them to filter from the blood all impure matter and acids, destroying micro-organisms which produce ill health and sour blood. Everyone should take something to cleanse the blood at this time of year, and the above simple prescription is the most highly indorsed of the hundreds of home remedies generally used. Mix this yourself, then you will know what you are taking. Sheep Raising in Australia. The greatest industry of Australia is sheep raising, mainly for the sake of the wool, but also in part, of course, for the meat. Australia now ranks second among the great sheep-raising countries, Argentina being first with 92,000,000 sheep, Australia: second with 72,000,000, and Russia third with 79,000,000. Only a few years ago Australia was first, possessing no less than 106,260,000 head of sheep. That was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were the cause of the destruction of many millions of Australian sheep, but since 1902 there has been an annual gain. Yet these sheep were not indigenous to Australia. They were first introduced in 1797, being of the Spanish merino species. Great German Socialist. Herr Bebel, the leader of the German socialists, who has been so much in evidence of late, is a wheelwright by trade. Although entirely self-educated, he is one of the finest orators and debaters in the fatherland and, distasteful as his views may be to the reichstag, whenever he addresses the assembly he is certain of having a large and attentive audience. In such esteem is he held by the socialists that millions will obey his will without thinking whether they are doing right or wrong. Herr Bebel neither drinks nor smokes, and besides being a celebrity in the political wold has gained some fame as a writer. FIND OUT The Kind of Food That Will Keep You Well. The true way is to find out what is best to eat and drink, and then cultivate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food, etc. A conservative Mass. woman writes: "I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for the young and for the aged; in sickness and in health; at first following directions carefully, later in a variety of ways as my taste and judgment suggested. "But its most special, personal benefit has been a substitute for meat, and served dry with cream when rheumatic troubles made it important for me to give up the 'coffee habit.'" "Served in this way with the addition of a cup of hot water and a little fruit it has been used at my morning meal for six months, during which time my health has much improved, nerves have grown steadier, and a gradual decrease in my comfort." Name given by Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." CARE OF THE SICK ROOM. Above All Things the Walls Should Be Kept Dry. When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why extreme precautions should be used to keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry, always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and airy in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day. If there is any suspicion of dampness in a bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a blotting paper and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, ill health and unhappiness. It is frequently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infection of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the alabastined wall is a perfect wall. It never flakes off, chips or peels. It absorbs moisture and expels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable. The floor in the bedroom should have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bedroom should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly varnished or waxed, and the window casings kept in perfect order. The doors should be wiped off frequently as also should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping. Curious Maps. Maps for military and general field use are produced by Dr. O. H. F. Vollbehr, of Halensee, Berlin, as microscopic transparencies, each about one and one-half inch by two inches in size. These form slides for the micro-photoscope, a special instrument having a hand-mirror-shaped frame, to which is attached a slide-holder, with a movable lens over it. The lens slides in two directions, about 70 square miles being shown in each position. SLEEP BROKEN BY ITCHING. Eczema Covered Whole Body for a Year—No Relief Until Cuticura Remedies Prove a Success. "For a year I have had what they call eczema. I had an itching all over my body, and when I would retire for the night it would keep me awake half the night, and the more I would scratch, the more it would itch. I tried all kinds of remedies, but could get no relief. "I used one cake of Cuticura, Soap, one box of Cuticura, and two vials of Cuticura Resolvent Pills, which cost me a dollar and twenty-five cents in all, and am very glad I tried them, for I was completely cured. Walter W. Paglusch, 207 N. Robey St., Chicago, Ill., Oct. 8 and 16, 1906." Wander Fever.

Women Avoid Operations When a woman suffering from female trouble is told that an operation is necessary, it, of course, frightens her. The very thought of the hospital, the operating table and the knife strikes terror to her heart. It is quite true that these troubles may reach a stage where an operation is the only resource, but a great many women have been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after an operation has been decided upon as the only cure. The strongest and most grateful statements possible to make come from Lydia E.

We meet with them in all the materials. Even tulle and chif- fon are now made in stripes, and. mousseline de sole is very attractive | when striped with satin—more espe- | cially, black satin. This is one of the favorite materials of the moment, last very lovely It 1aokal when miptat ed on a foundation of silver tulle and | when worn with a sash of crepe de |chine in some vivid shade—such as cerise, emerald, green or lancret-blue. Some of the new gauzes are striped with velvet and a distinct novelty is Indian muslin with cross-bar lines In | velvet and in satin. | it is quite certain that stripes can | be made to make the figure look | slender if they are properly manipu- lated, but they demand a master hand at all times and no woman who weighs more than seven stone should dream of adopting them In any but a perpendicular position. Something embroidered is the or- der with every well-dressed woman, for nothing seemingly is complete without this adornment, and thus fashions seem to insist on the in- crease of hand labor and a compara- tive contempt for the assistance of the sewing machine. ‘The latest thing in fanciful embroidery devices Is our old friend the bugl-. This incrystal or in Jet was seen recently in most success- ful combination with beads of silver following a lace design upon a net foundation. One of the fancies of the moment is to be very long on the shoulders, and many of the loose bodices which overhang the belt in blouse fashion show wide armholes reminiscent of the Chinese outline, with loose sleeves coming through these, overhanging some tight white lace sleeves which fit to the wrist. It is rather difficult to describe this wide armhole, but it extends over the shoulder right into the waist, giving a drooping effect to the figure in a manner becoming alike to the stout and the slim. A good specimen I have met of this type of |dress was made of black satin ninon, with the skirt striped from waist to hem with machine-stitched bands of black velvet ribbon, the trimming on the bodice following this idea, while at the neck a small V-shaped piece of ivory lace mounted over chiffon was justified by the under-sleeves to match, which appeared beneath the loose ninon sleeves. Again, I have found the same sort of bodice with the top half made of white cloth embroidered in silk, the bottom portion being of satin, while the vest was of transparent ivory lace, and the skirt, which was cut on the cross, had broad pointed pieces of white satin put in as exaggerated gus- ests from knee to hem. ‘Talking of skirts reminds me that some of the new models are made in kilts all round the back with the front almost plain, trimmed with two bands of embroidery, and this ts quite a good style of skirt if you need one which is to tonch the ground, but if you are in favor of a very short skirt, then would I only recommend to your notice the flatly stitched kilted or box- plaited skirt, or the tightly-fitting skirt which fs cut on the cross. Among other extremely pretty full shirts destined to play their part at a dance, I would appland one made of white chiffon flowered with monster hydrangeas with a broad hem of mauve silk at the base, the bodice having this hem of silk to outline the armholes which extend to the waist over tight-fitting sleeves of a finely- spotted net, a fabric which again ap- peared in the front in the form of a vest with pleces of mauve velvet rib- bon threaded through it. Another gown which has a full skirt was made of {vory-white satin with the hem bordered with silver galon, which ap- peared beneath an embroidery of sil- ver roses, The bodice was form- ed of two pleces of satin on the cross bordered with silver, these being pass- ed over each other in front to tle at the back into a bow with small silver {assels at the ends, and the small yest was made of Brussels lace, while frills of the same, tied handkerchief WALKING GOWN fashion, formed short sleeves be- neath the fichu. The hair of the wear- er of this was tied with silver braid tasseled with silver, and it is needless to say that it was arranged in a group of curls. Every head is “running over with curls” nowadays; and what a differ- ence there is in the quality of these luxuries may be realized from the fact that they range in price from a few ‘cents to dollars, With’ the advance of spring the smart tailor-made costume claims more and more of our interest and at. tention. Many of the best designs are made up with charming little boleros and coatees, heavily braided, in con- junction with plain skirts. The one shown in our illustration is made of a warm nut brown cloth of very fine quality. The skirt fits closely round the hips, its sole trimming being stitched bands of the same cloth ar- ranged in long loops, which haye a most graceful effect in giving length to the wearer, ‘The coatee has the quaintest little tails at the back/and is cut up at the sides, showing the waist-belt of black satin. The whole surface of the coatee and sleeves is thickly braided in fine black braid, while broader bands of braid are placed over the shoulders, and hold the fullness of the sleeve with in widening effect which is so popular for the moment. The coatee fastens single-breasted, with small silver but- tons, and the tiny roll collar and points turned back at the waist are of pale turquoise blue velvet, which has a delightful effect on the brown cloth and black braid. ‘The smartness of the costume is greatly enhanced by the high stock of black satin to match the waist-belt. The hat is of nut brown straw, both crown and edge being bound with black satin, while at the side wave three curly quills of a pale turquoise tint, held by @ brooch of pierced oxydized’ sik ver work. Its Origin Unknown. What is the origin of the “cock and bull” story? It is the despair of all those who seek to explain this fine old crusted slang of long ago which has managed to persist into present speech, just as we may imagine our present “23” will puzzle a later gen- eration. Brewer, in his “Phrase and Fable,” explains it 1s a corruption of a “concocted and bully stoty.” Byi- dently recognizing that this is scarce- ly satisfactory, he prosecuted his re- searches into bygone religions, drag- ged up Nergal from the Phoenicians in the representation of a rooster and from the Bgyptian Osiris, typified by a bull. From all of which disquist- tions it is as clear as may be that no one really knows anything about the story of a cock and a bull, The French have a precisely similar ex- pression in “coq-al'ane, and equally they do not know its origin—New York Sun. Mice Got Drunk. A correspondent writes: In Quetta some years ago I had occasion to go early one morning into a miseel- laneous store kept by a Parsi, who also kept a liquor bar. As I entered the shop I noticed a mouse reeling across the floor, and I remarked to the shopkeeper that the mouse scem- ed to be hurt, but his reply astonished me. He sald that that mouse and several others that infested his shop were confirmed drunkards. During the night they regularly: drank all the liquor which remained in the glasses which the soldiers had used in the evenings for their drinks—Madras ‘Times. Doctors Are on Strike, Wimborne (England) guardians re cently declined an application by the medical officer of the workhouse for an increase of his salary of $150 year- ly, inclusive, so he resigned.

Mr, Riley M, Fletcher Berry, in his book, “Fruit Recipes” (Doubleday, Page & Co.), says that fruit soups are usually served cold—where conveni- ent, chilled on ice—in very small china or glass bowls or bouillon cups, With this daintiness cf service, how- ever, it may be forgotten or not real- ized that such soups are not to the stomach mere empty, introductory flourishes, whatever the intent, Fruit soups are foods, and as such are used in many countries by even the peas: ants, though they may lack delicate table appointments, It is true that a fruit may be used wh‘ch It not of it- self substantial (though the opposite may hold, as with prunes), but the sago, arrowroot, or tapioca used for thickening furnishes a certain amount of heat-producing material, and where wine is added this is increased, so it may readily be understood why, when used in quantity, such combinations may approach, of themselves, substan- ‘ial meals, or why, even in small mensure, fruit soups, with but slight additions of foods containing other balancing elements, may arrive at the right to be chief “dish” of a luncheon or light supper. As a general rule, stewed fruit, passed through a sieve, may have added to it an equal quantity of wa- ter, and to each pint a heaping tea- spoonful or scant dessert spoonful of sago, arrowroot (for which cornstarch may be substituted) or tapioca, Some instructors give the rule of a level tablespoonful of cornstarch to each pint of clear, pressed fruit juice, which, however, may be sl'ghtly dil- uted. ‘The arrowroot or cornstarch is a quicker process, and should be dis- solved till smooth in a little cold wa- ter, added when the fruit Juice is at boiling point, then cooked till clear; meantime adding sugar, and later a tablespoonful of lemon juice or wine. If sago or tapioca Is used, it must be cooked till thoroughly tender and translucent. A soup made of raspber- ries may serve as example of a lighter fruit soup. Several recipes for fruit soups and much information valuable to the housekeeper are also given. JOHN L. LARSON, Staple Groceries and Fresh Meats. 1864 Curtis Srreet, Cor. 19th.

PHONE MAIN 8044 | DICH FRAZIER, Pfamagon, 1821 Arapahoe 8 Denver, Colorado; Boiling water should never be put into a rubber bag. Do not much more than half fill the bag, then place it in the lap before putting in the stopper, and carefully press out the steam. ‘This makes the bag softer, as it is relieved of the pressure the steam makes if left in it. After using the bag drain out the water, let it hang bottom up for a little while, then take it down and with the mouth blow a little air into it, just enough to keep the inside from com- ing together, as it will often do if there is no air in it, in which case the baz is almost sure to be ruined in pulling it apart. If the bag ever should stick, put into it some hot water with a few drops of ammonia, let it remain a few minutes, then with a thin, dull-edged stick, try to separate the inside carefully. Never fold a bag after it has once been used. A flannel bag covering for the rubber bag 1s very useful. J. D, CRACO. N, M. OAMPIGLIA "Phone Main 4886. w# C. & C.

If a smal] quantity be applied to new shoes it will soften the leather, and if enameled leather, will keep it soft much longer than ordi- narily and render it less Mable to crack. + If worn shoes are cleaned and black: ened, and then rubbed with the vase line, their appearance and wearing qualities will be much improved. Have a box of oats handy and when the shoes are taken off remove all mud and dirt, lace or button them, fill half full with oats and stuff the tops with crumpled paper. When necessary to wear the shoes empty them and they will be found to have kept their shape, and will not be drawn if they were in the least damp when taken off.
