Scott Appointed Chaplain in Army.--The Conference of the C. M. E. Church--Crispus Attucks and American Revolution; His Monumet to be at Jamestown Exposition. VOL. XIII. Washing Rev. Scott Appointed Chaplain of the C. M. E. Church American Revolution be at Jamestown Special to Colorado Statesman: Rev. O. J. W. Scott, formerly located at Denver and for the past four years pastor of the Metropolitan church in this city, has been appointed a chaplain in the Army by the President. This appointment supplies the vacancy caused by the retirement on account of age of Rev. T. G. Steward of the 25th Infantry. Rev. Scott was sworn in on the 19th, and assigned temporarily to Ft. Myer where he will soon receive orders to join his regiment the 25th. U. S. Infantry. The afternoon session of the Philadelphia and Washington conference of the C. M. E. Church in Miles Memorial church on last Thursday afternoon was enlivened by an enthusiastic demonstration when the name of Senator J. B. Foraker was mentioned by one of the speakers. The Ohio Senators' name was introduced during a discussion of the part taken by the colored citizens in the politics of the country. Mr. Stanton, editor of the N. C. Index said that the activity of colored men in politics was to the disadvantage of the race. Bishop R. S. Williams, D. D. of Georgia, President of the Conference and Rev. S. L. Corrothers of this city were vigorously opposed to this view and the generous applause which followed their remarks seemed to indicate that the editors position had but few supporters in the large audience. If straws show the direction of the tide it would appear that the friends of the President who have undertaken the restoration of Negro faith in and allegiance to the administration, must encounter and overcome a strong current of opposition in its accomplishment. Crispus Attucks is so inseparably connected with all that relates to the American Revolution that it is not stange to find ones thoughts lingering about the association of the Daughters of the American Revolution now in annual session in this city. The thought occurs to us that Crispus Attucks, a Negro, was the first man to shed his blood in the cause of Independence, but we also remember that he was not the only Negro to die in that struggle. State Historical and N H Society, Denver, Colo SAVED BY PATRICK COLORA gton D. C. in in Army.--The Conference h--Crispus Attucks and on; His Monumet to wn Exposition. The records show that there were alone 5000 Negro soldiers among the 20,000 which constituted the force under Gen. Greene at White Plains, N. Y., that they received repeated commendations for bravery and were considered generally among the most gallant in the continental army. It is also of record in the archives of the Massachusetts society of the D. A. R., that a Negro, by the name of Samuel Weir was a substantial contributor of his means to the support of the Revolutionary cause and his name appears with the Adamse and the Wolcotts and the Winthrops, than which none are more honored in American history. The thought of what might happen should a descendant of Weir or Attucks or others of our Revolutionary heroes apply to the Sons or Daughters for admission to those organizations, is too suggestive of sulphur and kindred elements to allow us to indulge it. Nevertheless their patent of descent from loyal and honorable Revolutionary stock would be as strong as the best, and their application, after the Sons and Daughters had been restored from the shock, would probably be returned and the applicant advised that the limit of membership had been reached or of the great regret felt at being compelled to reject said application. As a matter of fact it is not for the privilege of wearing the emblem of any of these organizations or of association with the members thereof or even of sharing in the collateral benefits which follow upon such membership. Its neither of these things. But it is that claim and attitude of native and inherent superiority, which such associations evince and which at every turn is arrogantly flaunted in the face of the average, ordinary American, which is an evidence of the worst possible taste and for which we contend there is neither reason or excuse. It has been quite generally stated in the colored papers of the country that the famous Crispus Attucks monument erected in Boston in honor of the colored Revolutionary patriot of that name, is to be transferred to a position be- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1907. fore the Negro building at the Jamestown Exposition. As a matter of fact when the proposition was placed before the authorities of Boston, a loud and solemn wail of protest was set up by the colored people of that city against what they considered would be a desecration of what is or should be to every Negro in America, the symbol of their most sacred devotion to liberty. They contended that this bit of artistic statuary was the prized and honored concrete expression of liberty in its broadest and dearest sense and the proposed use of it in a locality and environment so sadly at variance with this idea and where the rights of Negroes are so recklessly abridged, would be a mockery and outrage of the high ideals of American citizenship to which true Negro manhood and womanhood must ever be committed. The visitors to the Exposition will not, therefore see the real Crispus Attucks monument but an artistic reproduction which can in no sense carry with it the suggestion of the lofty patriotism and love of liberty which are breathed from every line of the heroic original. JOHN H. PAYNTER. NEGRO WITE MAN'S EQUAL The Daily Sentinel of Grand Junction, in its issue of April 8th had the following to say of a sermon delivered by Rev. D. D. Forsyth, a white minister of that city. Yesterday morning in a pretty radical sermon, Rev. D. D. Forsyth, of the Methodist church made some very startling and very sensational statements. He dwelt with the alleged curse of Mormonism, the race problem and the dangers attending foreign immigration, and offered solutions for each of these mighty questions. In dealing with the race question Rev. Forsyth declared that the Negro has equally as bright a mind and equally as strong an intellect as the white man, with pleasure he related instances where in his opinion this declaration was easily proven. He told of a Negro recently excelling Pennsylvania youths in certain examinations held in the Keystone state and related a story to the effect that a Negro entering Harvard has surpassed in his studies and work the son of a prominent gentleman of the old South. He denounced the idea 'that the Negro is all right in his place;" continuing that his place is at the side of the white man and should be treated with brotherly affection. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Fort Worth, Texas, April 12.—The people of Seymor and Baylor counties had served notice on the few Negroes residing there that they must seek other locations and in consequence with the order given, all the Negroes have departed, except one Negro woman, who was permitted to remain. New Orleans, La.,—Harry Smith an Afro American mail carrier, who was ordered by the conductor of a Henry Clay street car here to take a seat in the section provided for Afro Americans refused to do so on the ground that he was in the uniform of the United States, and that it protected him in his rights. After several ineffectual attempts to induce Smith to move, the conductor abandoned the attempt and Smith rode to his destination. Several white passengers in the meanwhile were compelled to stand. Los Angeles, Cal.,—Because of a protest registered with Mayor A. C. Harper by colored residence of this city, an order has been issued to the Police Department directing the removal of certain signs in saloons and restaurants, reading "Colored trade not desired," and "Colored people will not be served." The action of the Mayor was not officially made a part of the municipal business, but it is said a failure' to comply with the request of the Police Department will result in the revocation of licenses. Lexington, Ky., April 4.—Mrs. Luella Thurman has been paid $3,500 by the Southern Railway company because she was compelled to ride in the Negro compartment on one of its trains. Mrs. Thurman, a white woman was ordered to leave the white compartment and take a seat in that used by Negroes when she was returning from this city to Harodsburg. She filed a suit for $10,000. The case was tried by jury and she received a verdict of $4,000 which was taken to Court of Appeals and reversed. The case was compromised. Washington, April 18.—The financial board of the African Methodist Episcopal church is holding its annual meeting here with members present from many of the large cities. The annual report of Financial Secretaay E. W. Lampton, which has been submitted to the board, shows receipts for the past year of $191,293, of which $74,195, had been retained for salaries of bishops, general officers and general church purposes. $12,903 for widows, orphans and indigent preachers. Bishop Grant in an address declared that "after forty-four years of freedom the American Negro is no longer an object of charity nor the ward of the nation" and that "he is now a full grown man and as such must take a man's place. In Mobile, according to reliable information, out of nineteen letter carriers, eighteen are colored. C. C. Harris has been chief mailing clerk in the Montgomery postoffice quite a quarter of a century, and no man in the building is more highly respected than he. In Mobile four-fifths of the employees in the postoffice are colored, and the same proportion is true in the Montgomery postoffice. Whenever and wherever there is a civil service examination, the Negro is to be found in large numbers, and he permits nothing to stand in the way of his showing what he can do in the direction of preparing himself to serve the government. Scores of examples can be produced where the Negro distances all competitors and stands at the head of the eligible list. The Austin Texas Tribune says: Reports from Washington are that throughout the South the applicants for positions in the civil service department of the government are about ten Negroes to one white. The government is sending out word that there must be a wrong impression through the South that the civil service examinations are altogether for Negroes, and whites are urged to apply for the positions. The impression is more apt to be that if Negroes are to be admitted to the civil service pantry they can take the cake so far as the Southern whites are concerned. There are certain positions which might be accorded the colored people, but Roosevelt's policy of putting Negroes in official positions throughout the South, bodes no good for peace between the races. Washington, D, C., April 16. Some few months ago several individuals attempted to organize a lilly white social club, at which time the Bee exposed the organization and it disbanded. Since that time several of these same individuals met and decided to ormanize under a new name. While the name has been changed, its principles are the same. A few weeks ago a male member sent his child to St. Luke's Sunday school and because a dark colored lady individual was teacher of his daughter, he took the child from the Sunday school class entirely. It is true that there are individuals in this city, from the South particularly, have made every effort to establish a separate and distinct social organization based on color NO. 31. only. Education, character and reputation do not count for anything so long as you have the color. It is also claimed that many of these people put more upon their backs than they do upon their tables. The new organization has not materialized as yet. Its first entertainment is being looked for with anxiety. ElPaso, Texas, April 23.—Creditors of the estate of the late Lord D. J. Beresford, who was killed in a train wreck in North Dakota December 24, 1906, leaving a very large estate, have filed an application in the district court here for the appointment of an administrator, and the probate of the will. Among the plaintiffs is Flora Wolff, the Negro woman who claims to have been the common-law wife of Beresford, and to whom he willed $10,000. The others are persons to whom Bersesford was indebted, whose claims a New York lawyer, representing the Beresfords, attempted to discount. The estate is valued at over one million dollars and consists of lands and cattle in Mexico and Canada. After providing for Flora Wolff, the will left the remainder of the property to his two brothers. The Wolff woman declined to accept the amount left her, claiming a wife's share under the laws of Mexico. Admiral Lord Beresford, when here some weeks ago, failed to reach a compromise with Flora Wolff, and left the other claims to be adjusted by his attorney in New York. Philadelphia, April 23.—A gift of $1,000,000 for the establishment of a fund for rudimentary schools for Southern Negroes was announced here tonight. The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeans, a Quaker of this city. Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee Institute and Hollis Burke Frissell, president of the Hampton Normal and Industrial institute, are named as trustees of the fund, but neither of the institutions they represent will share in the gift. The income of the million dollars is to be used for the sole purpose of assisting in the "Southern United States community, country and rural schools for the great class of Negroes to when the small rural and community schools are alone available." Mr. Washington and Mr. Frissell are empowered to appoint a board of trustees in connection with the fund. The Pennsylvania company for insurances on lives and granting annuities of this city will act as fiscal agent for the trustees. Miss Jeanes, the donor, is about 80 years old and comes from an old and wealthy family that has been prominent for more than a century in the Society of Friends. She has long been interested in the welfare of the Negro and has been a contributor to institutions for their education.

A LUNATIC THIS CHARGE IS MADE AGAINST EX-GOVERNOR ROUTT. FIGHT OVER HIS ESTATE Claim Made That Colorado's Former Governor Was of Unsound Mind When He Transferred Property. Denver.—Inquiry into the sanity of Former Governor John L. Routt has been begun in the County Court. A jury has been impaneled upon the former governor's mental condition. Owing to the fact that the lunacy complaint sworn out by Mrs. Dila Routt Collins against her father was irregular in form, Judge Charles McCall granted the request of Attorney Charles A. Stokes, representing Mrs. Collins, for a continuance until May $d. Besides Attorney Stokes there were present in court when the case was called Attorney Ralph Hartzell, Attorney Ben C. Hilliard, guardian ad litem appointed by the court; Stuart D. Walling, representing John H. Routt, and County Attorney Fred Parks. No testimony was taken at the inquiry, although the intention had been to have Mrs. Collins and other members of the family testify as to the condition of the governor's mind. Then the members of the jury were to have visited the Routt home to ascertain for themselves his mental condition. The petition filed by Mrs. Collins, which forestalled any attempt of the four remaining children of Governor Routt to make a fight, to contest the will left by Mrs. Routt and also the trust deed executed a few days before her death, which transferred $100,000 worth of real estate to Mrs. Collins, and which has been suppressed, is now made public for the first time. It reads as follows: "To the Hon. Ben B. Lindsey, judge of County Court: "Your complainant, Lila Routt Collins of said city and county of Denver, respectively, makes complaint against John L. Routt and allege: "That said John L. Routt is a lunatic, or an insane person, and is so distracted in mind as to be incapable of properly or safely attending to his affairs or managing his estate. "That said John L. Routt was the husband of Eliza J. Routt, late of the said city and county of Denver, who departed this life in said city and county of Denver on March 22, A. D. 1907. "That said deceased left a last will and testament, wherein the said John L. Routt was named as a devisee and beneficiary, and by virtue of the said will the said John L. Routt is entitled to real and personal property, which he is incapable of properly managing. "That by the insane condition of the said John L. Routt he is incapable of realizing the effect of or understanding the citation which must be served upon him before said will can be probated in this court. "Wherefore your complainant respectfully asks that inquiry may be made into the sanity of said John L. Routt and whether he is so insane or distracted in mind as to render him incapable of managing his estate, then your complainant prays that a conservator be appointed by this court to care care for, manage and control the estate of said John L. Routt in accordance with the statute in such case made and provided. "LILA ROUTT COLLINS." MAKES CONFESSION OF MURDER California Man Writes Letter That Clears Up Colorado Mystery. Delta, Colo.—A victim of the white plague and, if the physicians know, but a short time yet to remain in this world, F. C. Bartlett, formerly of Delta, but now in a hospital in Indio, California, has confessed to the cold-blooded killing of Fred Thielman in this county twenty-three years ago. The victim of the foul crime was found dead in a cabin on the day following the date on which Bartlett says he killed him, and an inquest held some time later returned a verdict of accidental death. The remarkable deathbed confession follows: Indio, Calif., April 17—Sheriff of Delta county, Colorado—Dear Sir: In the summer of 1883 I, with Frank Irvin, Mr. Eggleston and a trapper named Fred, either of German or Austrian descent, were on the Grand mesa about thirty miles from the city of Delta, at the source of Forked Tongue and Surface creeks. Fred, the trapper, and I, tented together that summer. During the time we got into a dispute about something that has since left my mind. At all events, one evening after coming home from hunting, Fred sat down to clean a gun and a sage hen which we had shot. Whether we were disputing at the time or not I can not recall, but the awful idea struck me to kill him then and there. I was sitting about six feet to his right, slightly to his rear, and picking up an old muzzle-loading shotgun I shot him about the right ear, breaking in his skull and causing instant death. A coroner's jury was summoned, which after hearing the evidence of all present brought in a verdict of death by accidental discharge of the gun in the hands of deceased, or something to that effect. I have never mentioned to any person until now but the writer, Charles Deterich, who is the means of bringing me to my God, who so willingly, for his beloved Son Christ's fate, has forgiven me all. He further convinced me that it was necessary to notify the civil authorities and give myself up for any action which you may take. Yours faithfully. F. C. BARTLETT. Sheriff Gibbs is conferring with the district attorney relative to what action might be taken by the local officials. It is not believed that any effort will be made to return him here if the report that he is dying is confirmed. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. American fashion plates are used in German tallor shops. The United States sold Corea about $400,000 worth last year. The port of New Chwang, at the mouth of the Liao river, is the greatest bean market in the world. American apples are seen on every fruit stand and are peddled through every street in Berlin, the price being 5 cents a pound. Germany consumed about 7,000 tons of our apples during last year. The ship subsidy law of Austria provides bounties and premiums. Iron and steel steamships receive an annual bounty of $2.44 per ton, while the bounty of iron and steel sailings is $1.83, and that of wooden and part iron sailings $1.23 per ton. Iron and steel sailing ships have their bounties increased by 10 per cent if built in Austrian shipyards, and by 25 per cent if at least half the raw material used in their construction is of Austrian origin.

FALSE ISSUES. my acknowledge the ownership of a se- tety to wax enthusiastic or excited over being waged these days between Pres- men over certain post mortem issues. A question of standing by the Presi- der public policies, there is very little differ- ent body of American citizens, but it is infer that these controversies are to be held that the public should take regarding course. The first result of such an infe- rn unnecessary division of the Republican not party issues at all, but rather man- en these big disputants. On as to who shall be the next Repu- blican really an entirely different and inde- pendent engage Republicans without a side or the other of a personal control object for which that controversy is party has gone squarely on record and other corporate regulation, and it is emphatic and sincerely chosen position. A party is sincere enough and wise en- president Roosevelt who will serve the party without any pre-convention requiremen-ues which do not exist within the pa- ss vital to him as are any other matter; do not want to see any tried friend of the presidential race. We frankly acknowledge the ownership of a seemingly isolated case of disability to wax enthusiastic or excited over the sensational controversies being waged these days between President Roosevelt and other big men over certain post mortem issues. As to the question of standing by the President in defense of most of his public policies, there is very little difference of opinion among the great body of American citizens, but it is a leap from the true issue to infer that these controversies are to be construed as a test of the stand that the public should take regarding the President's past official course. The first result of such an inference will be to bring about an unnecessary division of the Republican party over matters which are not party issues at all, but rather matters of personal concern between these big disputants. The question as to who shall be the next Republican candidate for president is really an entirely different and independent matter, and one which should engage Republicans without any forced alliance upon one side or the other of a personal controversy, no matter what the actual object for which that controversy is designed. The Republican party has gone squarely on record upon the matter of railroad and other corporate regulation, and it is not going to recede from its emphatic and sincerely chosen position. We believe that the Republican party is sincere enough and wise enough to select a successor to President Roosevelt who will serve the highest interests of the nation, without any pre-convention requirement for an allignment upon issues which do not exist within the party. The Negro has interests as vital to him as are any other matters to any other people, and we do not want to see any tried friend of the Negro eliminated from the presidential race. A RECIPE FOR GROWTH. all ways to draw people to the state and to the most of, but, after all, the kind of things the best results is that being done state by men who are out primarily to be incidentally to show others how they to be a brotherhood bound by common-day as convincing as it ever did that what does the most work for the public enough doing the very best he can for better Republican. Abit of fundamental truth which has wariaries of a state. It is one of the greatest masses of nations and of races are built. At unity of action is the great need of it really true in only a secondary way: at things must find their inception and ideal effort. We are wont to expect my leader; we are prone to depend greatly, or some other representative power; but individual responsibility shows Negro who develops a mine or a ranch, or arise, or who builds himself up to affluence, or who acquires dollars in any town, is laying brick in the wall of public security. There is more virtue in the account than in the protests of an indignation a wind-made convention, however laying digging away at something, year in and overcoming obstacles in his path, is of good. The white man's greatness isprit. The Negro land pioneer is almost popular. But pioneering in any line wirit. Out of a multitude of individual union which we crave. Any and all ways to draw people to the state are to be encouraged and made the most of, but, after all, the kind of boosting that goes farthest asd brings the best results is that being done here and there all over the state by men who are out primarily to make money for themselves and incidentally to show others how they can make some. Try as we will to be a brotherhood bound by common interests, the truth remains to-day as convincing as it ever did that it is the committee of one that does the most work for the public at large, and that he does it through doing the very best he can for his own precious welfare.—Denver Republican. Here is a bit of fundamental truth which has wider application than the boundaries of a state. It is one of the great "secrets" upon which the successes of nations and of races are builted. The cry among colored men that unity of action is the great need of the race is well known, but it is really true in only a secondary way. It is a law of nature that great things must find their inception and their greatest power in individual effort. We are wont to expect much of the self-appointed race leader; we are prone to depend greatly upon the newspaper, the clergy, or some other representative power to fight the battles of the race; but individual responsibility should not be lost sight of. The Negro who develops a mine or a ranch, or any successful business enterprise, or who builds himself up to affluence or independence in a profession, or who acquires dollars in any honest way and salts them down, is laying brick in the wall of permanent social unity and race security. There is more virtue in the power of a substantial bank account than in the protests of an indignation meeting or the appeals of a wind-made convention, however large. The individual who is digging away at something, year in and year out, on his own account, and overcoming obstacles in his path, is doing this race of ours a heap of good. The white man's greatness develops out of the pioneer spirit. The Negro land pioneer is almost a novelty; his calling is not popular. But pioneering in any line will cultivate and broaden the spirit. Out of a multitude of individual successes must grow the racial union which we erave. FOLLOWING THE COLOR LINE. This is the caption of an able article in The American Magazine for April, which, in fact, is a review of and commentary on the Atlanta race riots of last year, with a general summary of results growing out of that astounding episode which may be considered as assurances of a better understanding and better relations, under the law, at least, between the white and colored people of that section. The article is written by Ray Stannard Baker, who displays a spirit of frank impartiality, without prejudice or unwholesome sentiment of any kind in his recital of events connected with the affair in question. the caption of an able article in The Amherst, in fact, is a review of and comments of last year, with a general sum that astounding episode which may be a better understanding and better relation between the white and colored people written by Ray Stannard Baker, who is artiality, without prejudice or unwhollis recital of events connected with the a Negro may count the cost high at whi While the Negro may count the cost high at which he must win just consideration before the bar of public opinion, it is with no little gratification, nevertheless, that he observes evidences of humane awakenings on the part of that element of the dominant white people, upon which the well being of every community and of the entire nation depends. Discrimination between classes, among blacks as well as whites, and the disclosure of the fact that the wrong class in both races usually suffers most, as one of the results of these periodical outbreaks, are important items in the charter of vindication which the responsible white people of the South seem at last disposed to grant the Negro; for the tendency to charge the Negro race in general with the crimes of its baser elements, has been, and is yet, altogether too prevalent everywhere in the nation. "There is no such thing as an orderly mob," is another concession to which the whites have been slow to agree, and which the irresponsible, frenzied race agitator, who owes his prominence in a public way to assaults upon a weak victim, even more cowardly than those of the fiend whose crime all good people abhor, will still deny and strive long to controvert. Hatred of race, increasing in unmeasured bounds, has its inception in the baser ranks of both races, therefore, although allowed to run to inconceivable, thoughtless heights among the superior whites. The final analysis is the mob, contempt for the law, and then the criminal sacrifice of all interests upon which the life and the peace of a community or a nation are based. But it seems that out of this condition of blood a spirit of fairness to the Negro is being brewed. Its beginning and its perpetuity rest with the better class of white people. It will require no little determination on their part to anticipate and oppose that desperate disposition of their own inferior classes which vents its natural bent for lawlessness upon the Negro, and strives to give, therupon, to its own inexecutable crimes, the sanction of necessity and the color of virtue. But the greater necessity is that for the establishment of regard for the law. It involves the principle of self-preservation, for either unjust laws or unjust practices applied to any great portion of the general population, bear their own self-demoralizing fruit in time. The Negro now stands, and has always stood ready to do his part in the premises. Those of the better class have no part or sympathy with the criminals of the race. They look upon them as foes to the race and to society. It is only the all-prevalent tendency of the white people to assail the whole Negro race for the criminality of individuals, for whose crimes no respectable Negro is responsible, which makes the race problem in the United States such a chaos of hopelessness. Without this tendency, justice would have its chance, and reason its triumph. The Real Railroad Problem Is One of Trackage By JAMES J. HILL.

The defect can be corrected only by building more track. The movement of freight cars is more unsatisfactory to the railroads than it can be to their customers. The average speed of a freight train is from 12 to 15 miles per hour. The average distance traveled by each freight car is about 25 miles per day. That is, the entire freight equipment of the country is employed to entire freight equipment of the fair limit of its capacity but two hours of track lines freights must wait on sidings while right of way; cars stand for days or weeks in awaiting their turn. Our population is now increasing at the rate annum, and the growth will soon be 2,500 the transportation systems of the country give everything that ministers to human necessity, or farm as are consumed on the farm, must be can longer or shorter distance. The total value of doubled in 30 years after 1870, and it is now the figures of five years ago.

Labor even for such ordinary extension now being made is not to be had in sufficient. And it demands the investment in permanent 000,000 a year for five years to provide the rail means to handle properly the business already future growth. This is the real railroad problem and it is one which people have been singularly luctant to realize, although it is written on statistics and calls to the passer-by from every and every railroad yard from the Atlantic to pearances, the commerce of the country has the almost insurmountable. the fair limit of its capacity but two hours out of the 24. On single track lines freights must wait on sidings while passenger trains have the right of way; cars stand for days or weeks in yards, or at transfer points awaiting their turn. Our population is now increasing at the rate of more than 2,000,000 per annum, and the growth will soon be 2,500,000. The demand upon the transportation systems of the country grows accordingly. Almost everything that ministers to human necessity, except such products of the farm as are consumed on the farm, must be carried by the railroad for a longer or shorter distance. The total value of farm products themselves doubled in 30 years after 1870, and it is now estimated at almost twice the figures of five years ago. In the last ten years the output of petroleum has more than doubled, that of pig iron increased 150 per cent., and the value of manufactured products of the country rose from $9,372,437,283 in 1890 to $13,039,279,566 in 1900. All the additions to our imports and exports, every activity in every department of industry, means just so much more work for the carrier systems of the country. The problem and the necessity are enormous. At 140 tons to the mile, it would require 2,000,000 tons of steel rail every year to furnish the 15,000 miles of track required. This is nearly two-thirds of the product of all the rolling mills in the United States. It would call for the labor of 200,000 men in grading, beside track layers, bridge builders and others. Labor even for such ordinary extensions and improvements as are now being made is not to be had in sufficient quantities on any terms. And it demands the investment in permanent railroad plant of $1,100,-000,000 a year for five years to provide the railroads of the country with means to handle properly the business already in sight, not allowing for future growth. This is the real railroad problem of the United States; and it is one which people have been singularly slow to perceive and reluctant to realize, although it is written on every page of industrial statistics and calls to the passer-by from every signal tower, every siding and every railroad yard from the Atlantic to the Pacific. To all appearances, the commerce of the country has touched a barrier which is almost insurmountable.

Science, after a century and a half of scoffing at the immaterial, is now trying eagerly to grasp it. Baffled by phenomena that it has striven vainly to explain on material hypotheses, it is forced at last to the unwelcome conclusion that there is something more than matter—something which all its telescopes and all its microscopes are powerless to discover. Now the advance skirmishers of science, groping blindly in the darkness of the unknown, are setting traps for the immaterial, hoping with beating hearts to solve the riddle of life and death, to prove the immaterial, to demonstrate its properties and to codify its laws. Those who have maintained the simple faith—the unswerving faith in the infallibility of their own ignorance—may now from the heaven-piercing peak of their simplicity look down upon the vain struggles of the scientists, their fantastic efforts to weigh the soul, their charlatanic assertions that they can picture it, their plastic credulity to the shams of fakirs who pretend to reembody the spirits of the dead, and all the other grotesque contortions of the wise men who believe nothing they cannot understand. All this is but striving to attain something which the believer has possessed always; it may succeed—who can tell? But, when the immaterial shall have been caught in the butterfly nets of science, when the limitless fields of infinity shall have been triangulated—then all men will recognize these newest discoveries of science as an old, old thing which the world in its childlike simplicity has called Eternity and God.

When once a few of the innumerable advantages of the automobile came to be more generally recognized there began a demand for the machine that probably is unprecedented, in the rapidity of its growth, in the history of American manufactures. To-day the automobile is recognized quite generally as the most advantageous means of individual transportation for pleasure or for business. The automobile accidents cannot be compared to the accidents of railroad travel, or of any other means of equally swift transportation.

The teacher in the Sunday school class had been telling her young pupils of the omnipotence of God, and just before the end of the lesson was endeavoring to illustrate how God was everywhere and knew every little action, no matter how trivial. One little boy appeared unusually interested, and when the first time came for questions to be asked was the first to secure the "floor." "Teacher," he said, "is God in my home?" "Yes," my dear." "Is God in our parlor?" "Yes, dear." "Is God in our kitchen?" "Yes." He is very "Is God in our parlor?" "Yes, dear." "Is God in our kitchen?" "Yes. He is everywhere." "And is he in our cellar?" "He is even there," responded the teacher. "No, he isn't, smarty!" answered the child, because we ain't got no cellar."—Philadelphia Telegraph. The People Next Door. The reason why the people next door are invariably regarded as most worthy of our javelins is plain to me. They have a piano. I do not know of any race that is quite so unpleasant as the people next door. They are not like any ordinary people who live elsewhere. They obtain their music on the hire system, as it were, and it is generally of the type we most detest. Are we worldly minded? They chasten us obtrusively with hymns—or Mendelssohn, who is for some obscure reason regarded as a moral force in the suburbs. Are we of the elect? They hurl at us with defiant persistency the latest blood-curdler from the "falls." The thing that passes with them for a piano is called upon to do the work of three, and the wall dividing our respective houses, be it borne in mind, is a beautiful conductor of sound.—Outlook. A Bird's Foot The typical vertebrate limb, variously modified in the arm of a man or the forelimb of a cat or frog or bird, has one bone in the upper arm, which gives support to two in the forearm, which similarly yield to four at the wrist and from these five digits can just comfortably be extended. The bird, however, decided to fly rather than grasp with its hand, so that three and a half fingers are all it has retained of the five which its reptilian ancestors bequeathed to it.

VALEDICTORIAN OF CLASS Miss Bernice Sanders Wins Such Honors in Sheridan High School. Friday evening April 19th, the 8th grade of the Sheridan High school held its Class Day exercises, and among one of the most interesting numbers on the program was a paper. "Valedictory" by Miss Bernice Sanders of 841 Santa Fe Ave. As Valedictorian of her class which she won without unquestionable doubt is indeed an honor that she as well as the race should feel greatly elated. While she is the youngest of a class of fourteen and the only colored member thereof, proves that, notwithstanding the ratio or hereditary advantages of the Caucasian, the intellect of the Negro is on par with that of any race and in this and many particular instances far superior, as Miss Sanders' average throughout the term has been ninty seven and four-tenths. There is no one in the class who is held in higher esteem by its members than is this young lady, in fact the whole school is delighted at the high honors she has won. An interview with the prince, Miss Anna L. Force, revealed the fact that Miss Sanders bears the distinction of being the most astute and intellectual scholar for her age that she has ever come in contact, and her deportment has been only that which has won for her the deepest admiration and friendship of all. We heartily congratulate Miss Sanders on her well achieved honors which adds new laurels to the literary vocabulary of the Negro race. Card of Thanks.

The superintendent of the schools of Batavia, N. Y., has apparently solved one of the most vexing questions which have to do with modern education. It is a realization of the Pestalozzian theory that each pupil has a right to be educated personally for what he can best achieve. For many years it has been charged against the public school system that the standards were set for the clever pupils to the detriment of the backward and dull ones. If the "Batavia experiment," as it is called, proves after long trial to do what it is hoped it will then primary education will be infinitely bettered. Mr. Kennedy, the originator of the scheme, proposed to the governing board of Batavia to procure the services of an extra teacher for each room whose duty it should be not to listen to recitations, but to help and encourage any pupils who were falling behind the class. It was to be entirely a work of sympathy and demanded great tact and discernment. The plan was tried in a single room and the result was so marked in both pupils and teachers that the experiment has spread rapidly and is being introduced in all the better schools in the United States. Its value can not be overestimated. The teachers are stimulated to do less nagging, while the pupils themselves are relieved from going beyond their ability and strength. And the effect on health of the children was also marked. No books were taken home for night study and six times the number of pupils remained to graduate from the high school. te from the ... $1.25 VALUES FOR 75c VALUES FOR Furnished rooms for rent for gentlemen only in modern house at 2539 Lincoln avenue.

RUSSIA'S FALSE CZAR IMPOSTOR SAID TO BE AT HEAD OF FIFTY THOUSAND MEN. Movement Recalls Rebellion of 1773, Which Is Said to Have Cost 100,000 Lives—Started in Region Which Is Now Affected. The inflamed state of the people of Russia as well as the credulity of the Russian character is again manifested in the army of 50,000 that has gathered in a few days in the Volga region to follow a false czar. This bogus emperor, as the dispatches tell, made his appearance near Penza, in the heart of the vast region extending westward from the Volga. This movement recalls the great Pugatcheff rebellion of 1773, which is said to have cost 100,000 lives. This rebellion also occurred in the region where the false czar started his insurrection in the last few days. Yemelyan Ivanovitch Pugatcheff was born in 1726 and died in 1775. The rebellion he led was known as the "Pugatchefshtchina." He was a Cosack of the Don and fought against the Prussians in the Seven Years War and in the campaign against Turkey in 1769. On his return from the latter war he was arrested for helping his brother-in-law to escape across the Don. Fearing punishment he ran away to the Cossacks of the Terek. In the and of las refuge he heard the persistent rumors that Peter III was still alive. It happened that he bore a striking resemblance to the murdered czar, and it occurred to him to impersonate that sovereign. Whether this Russian soldier dreamed of the bloody results that followed this impersonation is doubtful, but he boldly announced that he was Peter III and issued a proclamation in the name of that sovereign in 1773, declaring that he would dethrone Catherine II and again occupy the throne. The rebellion began in the same year. He attached to his cause the Raskolniks, whose religion he embraced, and won over several Finnish and Tatar tribes and thousands of the peasantry. After the capture of many fortresses on the Ural and the Don, Orenburg among them, he marched his army against Moscow. At a crucial time he was sold by some of his companions for 100,000 rubles and was captured. After his trial he was executed in Moscow. His execution ended the rebellion, which had been one of the bloodiest of its kind in history. ```markdown ``` Highest Total in Eleven Years Through Atlantic and Gulf Ports. Chicago.—The tide of immigration through the Atlantic and gulf ports reached the highest total in eleven years in 1906, according to the statistics compiled by the railroad agents, which show also that more than 500,000 immigrants have settled in the Mississippi river valley states and west during the last six years. The reports for the first two months of 1907 show a decrease of 5,000 as compared with the corresponding months of 1906, but telegraph reports just received by the Western Passenger association, up to and including April 5, 1907, show the volume of immigrant travel to have been enormous during the month of March and the first week in April, overcoming the loss of 5,000 in the first two months and showing an increase of 22,000 over a corresponding period of 1906. More than 80 per cent of the immigration was for states west of Chicago. In the northwest, Minnesota and Wisconsin got the bulk of the new population, as nearly all the Scandinavians were destined to those states. The northern peninsula of Michigan also received a good share. Those arriving through the gulf ports were mainly from the Mediterranean countries, and the greater portion were destined to the southern portion of Texas along the new line to Brownsville. WAY TO SPEND PUBLIC MONEY. Cornsil Professor Writes on Work of Agricultural Commission. Washington.—The scope of the work of the commission recently appointed to inquire into and report as to the policy that should prevail in the expenditure of public moneys provided for scientific experimentation and research in the interest of agriculture, is discussed in a letter from L. H. Bailey, of Cornell University to President David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford university, chairman of the commission. Mr. Bailey is president of the Association of Agricultural colleges and Experiment Stations which the commission represents. President Bailey in his letter says: "There needs to be a correlating of subjects and methods; an understanding of the most effective distribution of investigation efforts among the different state and national institutions; consideration of the influence exerted in reasearch in agriculture by current methods of appropriations by legislatures; discussion of what constitutes research; the relation of this research to the teaching and publicity functions of the institutions, and, in general, such a directing of experiment and research in the interest of agriculture as shall economize the work, render it more effective and integrate it with wise policies in the interest of the public welfare." SIX AUTOS TO DASH FOR POLE. Will Be Built So as to Traverse Both Land and Water. New York.—Admiral B. S. Osbon, secretary of the Arctic club, is authority for a statement that six automobiles are being built here and abroad for individual "dashes" to the north pole. Two of the machines are intended for Dr. Frederick Cooke of Brooklyn and a third is for Anthony Fiala, the leader of the Zeiger expedition. Admiral Osbon said he was not at liberty to tell for whom the other three automobiles were planned, but he said that they were intended for three distinct expeditions. Admiral Osbon said that the automobiles were either copied after or an improvement on an automobile built by a letter carrier in Alaska. "He has a route covering hundreds of miles near the arctic regions." Admiral Osbon is quoted as saying, "and he navigates immense bodies of water with his machine, for it is a water traveler as well as an ice trotter. The revolving gear which turns the rear wheels, while the machine is on solid ice or land, is fitted with blades which drop down and propel the 'craft' when open water is encountered. LAND SINKS IN NEBRASKA. Strong Odor of Oil Comes From the Ground. Gross, Neb. —Five acres of land west of this city have sunk fully two feet in the past few weeks. The ground affected is on the farm of Mr. Littig, two and one-half miles from the city, and a strong odor of oil is rising from the ground. Some of the residents are of the opinion that this country rests on a newly forming volcano, while others believe that the disturbed farm rests over a vast subterranean lake of oil. It is asserted by some of the citizens that they have heard the distinct laving of waves as they have washed against hidden shores in the depth of the earth. The odor of oil is very pronounced, and there is also a strong aroma of brimstone. Some of the more superstitions have lost all interest in coal oil and are spending their time in prayer.

How many women—and men too—are suffering from a general decline in health which the ordinary remedies seem unable to check! How many husbands see their wives wasting away, steadily losing health and beauty, and are powerless to help! Consumption and other germ diseases find in these debilitated systems easy prey, for the lowered vitality is unequal to the task of fighting off the infection of these diseases to which most of us are almost daily exposed. The symptoms indicating the decline which may have, results so fatal could scarcely be better described than in the statement of Mrs. William Manley, of 92 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case is a typical one. She says: "For six months after the birth of my baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy headaches, which seemed like a rush of blood to my forehead, just back of my eyes. Some days they twitched so I could hardly see and 'black spots floated before them. The least exertion brought on this sickness. My appetite was poor and I was often sick to my stomach. "If I tried to work my feet soon became swollen, paining me terribly. I had sinking spells and grew pale and nervous. I was so thin that I weighed only 95 pounds. "One day when at the drug store to get headache powders I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills instead. I soon noticed that my headache was disappearing and my nerves gradually grew stronger. The pills gave me a hearty appetite and I now weigh over 130 pounds. I believe the pills to be the best tonic and builder a woman can take, as they certainly helped me when my condition was critical and I have never been seriously ill since." The great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work.

There is a German dairyman and farmer, whose place is not far from Philadelphia, who greatly plumes himself upon the absolute superiority of his products above all others in the vicinity. On one occasion he personally applied to a Germantown housekeeper for a transfer of her custom to himself. "I hears dot you haf a lot of drouble with dot dairyman of yours," he said. "Yust you gif me your custom and der vill be no drouble." "Are your eggs always fresh?" asked the woman. "Fresh!" repeated the German. in an indignant tone.

"WHERE DO I STAND" LETTER Railroad Magnate Tells in Plain Words How Roosevelt Letter Got Into Newspapers. New York.—Edward H. Harriman, president of the Union Pacific, was cross-examined briefly in the Tombs police court by former Judge Alfred Ommen, who with Morris Hyman appeared as counsel for Frank Hill, the former Harriman stenographer, who is under arrest on the charge of selling the now famous "Where Do I Stand?" letter to a newspaper for publication. The railroad manipulator showed that he was a good lawyer himself, for he answered no questions until Assistant District Attorney Krotel had had ample time to interpose all reasonable objections, and the attorneys gained no information worthy of the time consumed. Ommen asked whether Mr. Harriman had shown the much discussed letter to anybody. The question was not framed to the Harriman liking and he quietly told the attorney to amend his way of asking. Then he said he had read the letter to another. "Did you read it to Congressman James Sherman?" asked Judge Ommen. Mr. Krotel objected and Judge Wahle not only sustained the objection, but brought a flush to the face of the defendant's counsel. "I don't intend to have this case hippodromed," said the judge. "If I permitted that question you might continue and seek to name men here and put them on the stand in the hope of attacking the credibility of Mr. Harriman and so continue this matter along and make it one of sensationalism. I won't stand for it." There was rather strenuous effort on the part of Hill's counsel to make Mr. Harriman say that he had given the letter to a newspaper for publication. "If you really wish to get at the absolute facts of the matter I will tell them," said the railroad man quietly. "There was another newspaper which had a copy of that letter. On the night before its publication I learned that the World had it and intended to publish it. I tried with what influence I had at my command to prevent its publication, but was unable to do so. At 2 o'clock in the morning, after having been told by representatives of the paper that my efforts were fruitless and that the letter was actually in type and the forms on the press, I telephoned to the American and informed the gentleman with whom I spoke over the telephone that I deemed it no more than fair to inform him that the World had secured the letter and would publish it. The gentleman with whom I spoke said that the matter was of no paramount importance. I was a bit surprised there before when I saw it in that paper in the morning." Mr. Harriman's frankness in relating the incidents of the night disarmed former Judge Ommen. Dairy Commissioner at Work. Denver.—James J. Girardet, assistant state dairy commissioner, has returned from Wisconsin, where he has been for several weeks investigating the dairy conditions and conferring with the State Dairy Commission with a view of adopting its methods in Colorado. Wisconsin is said to have the best system of dairy and meat regulations in the United States. State Dairy Commissioner Bishop said that he was meeting with encouragement in his campaign for pure milk, cream and dairy products in the state. While he has no jurisdiction over the creameries in cities, he has been urging the various ordinances that will make for pure milk and cream as well as wholesome and undiseased meats—ordinances that will dovetail with the state law that regulates dairies, cheese and butter. The new statute has been indorsed by the Sinton dairy at Colorado Springs, also the Lewis Dairy Company of Denver. The Boulder dairy has also fallen into line, and other large concerns of the same kind will follow suit. These companies have submitted to the test relative to diseased cows in their herds. Some of the animals were found to be affected with tuberculosis. The weeding-out process was begun and the diseased cows were displaced by sound ones. Up-to-date machinery is used in these three plants with a view to healthful conditions. Mr. Bishop believes that other large dairies will follow suit. He has made the Fort Collins Council interested in the ordinance for pure milk, cream, butter, cheese and meats. The chamber of commerce there is also behind the movement to pass ordinances that will make for these things. Other cities in Colorado are being communicated with, with a view of having them pass ordinances similar to the one enacted by the Denver Council last week. School Land Sold. Sales of nearly 1,800 acres of state school lands were made recently by the State Land Board to people down about Antonito, in Conejos county. It is an arid area, but the buyers have arranged to build canals and ditches to convey water from the Conjos and San Antone rivers onto the lands, at a cost of some $25,000. The price paid for the land was $5 an acre. For years these lands have lain useless because of the lack of water, yet they cover one of the most desirable portions of the San Luis valley. Bills of sale were made out to the following persons by the land board: James L. Richardson, 80 acres; W. D. Carroll, 160 acres; T. D. L. Menke, 160 acres; C. V. Moore, 160 acres; W. F. McClure, 160 acres; E. R. Marshall, 160 acres; W. B. McClure, 160 acres; W. H. Barlow, 400 acres; Celestino Garcia, 160 acres; W. A. Braiden, 240 acres; Fritz Thies, 160 acres. Bag of Diamonds Stolen From Woman's Leg Mysteriously Returns. Longmont, Colo.—Instead of receiving an infernal machine, which she at first suspected the package contained, Mrs. T. M. Callahan, wife of a millionaire store owner in Colorado and the Northwest, has been made happy by recovering the $2,500 worth of diamond earrings and rings which were mysteriously stolen from her last week. The jewels came in a special delivery package through the mails, but who mailed them and from what place has not yet been developed, as the postmarks are not discernible, having been intentionally blurred. On the reverse side of the package, where the receiving stamp is usually placed, was the mark, "Omaha-Ogden Railway Postoffice." Mrs. Callahan is taking no changes on the garter system of preventing the theft of her jewels, and has placed all of them in a safety deposit vault at one of the local banks. The diamonds came in on the train which arrived at Longmont at 3:24, and were delivered to Mrs. Callahan at 4 o'clock. Mrs. Callahan was at first afraid to open the package, fearing that some persons whose names had either rightly or wrongly been connected with the theft of the jewels, had sent her an infernal machine in order to be revenged. Curiosity finally got the better of her, however, and the hope that the package might contain her missing rings and earrings caused her to untie the string and unwrap the paper and cloth coverings. She was overjoyed to find her diamonds, all of which had been removed from their settings before being put in the mail. Mrs. Callahan immediately notified the authorities that she had recovered her jewels and explained the circumstances under which they came. Open Box and Find Human Bones. Denver.—A human skull with a bullet hole in it, together with a few bones, were the grewsome contents of an express package received by the State Supreme Court, the remains of the unfortunate woman Gerretje Haast, for whose murder her brother-in-law, Gerhardt Van Wyk, is under a life sentence in the penitentiary. The bones form exhibits in the case which has been appealed to the Supreme Court. Shortly after the clerk's office opened the package arrived. Clerk Horace G. Clark was expecting a box of fruit from some friends at Greeley and he supposed that the package contained fruit. He asked Cornelius Westvelt, one of the deputies, to open the box and distribute the fruit among the attaches of the court. Westervelt opened the box, but to his amazement, instead of luscious fruit the bones disclosed to his horrified gaze. The cover was quickly replaced and the box placed carefully away in the bailiff's room. Later R. D. Rees, attorney for Van Wyk in an appeal filed the transcript of all the papers in the case which comes up from the District Court at Sterling, where it was taken for second trial on a change of venue from Yuma county. There are ninety-nine errors assigned to the lower court. Rees will make application for a writ of error and that the writ may operate as a supersedeas. If the supersedeas is granted Van Wyk will not be taken to the penitentiary until the Supreme Court has passed upon the merits of his case. The West Overcharged. Chicago—for the purpose of obtaining and furnishing supplies necessary in the work of reclaiming the arid regions of the West, the United States Reclamation Service has opened a new purchasing and transportation office in Chicago. Heretofore all of the business was left in the hands of the various engineers in charge of the work, who purchased their supplies from the nearest dealers. It was found, however, that the prices in the West were so excessive that the government would save money by buying direct from the wholesalers at Chicago and shipping the goods to the various points where reclamation work is in progress. At present the work is being carried on on twenty-nine different projects. An expenditure of $46,000,000 will be made and when completed more than 2,000,000 acres of arid land will have been reclaimed. The freight bills alone last month amounted to $28,000. The new office is expected to result in a total saving to the service of at least twenty per cent. The work is being carried on in the arid regions of thirteen western states and territories, from the western part of Kansas to the Pacific coast and in Oklahoma, Nevada and North and South Dakota. First Victim of Season. Boulder, Colo.—Will Trudjian, a senior law student, football player and captain of the University of Colorado baseball team, was struck on the right temple by a batted ball while practicing on Gamble field and his skull was fractured. He was removed to the University hospital, where a surgical operation was performed. For a time Trudjian's friends feared the injury might prove fatal. There were two sets of players practicing on Gamble field when the accident occurred, Trudjian being in the infield. John Morrisis, a junior law student, was batting a ball to the outfield, when he knocked the sphere with terrific speed directly toward Captain Trudjian, who did not see the ball coming. The impact was sufficient to knock Trudjian down and render him unconscious. He was picked up and carried to the hospital. The injury will put Trudjian out of the game for the balance of the season. Died at Age of 150 Years. Santiago, Cuba.—Antonio Infante, a negro, died on April 24, at the age of 150 years. Despite his great age, the greatest recorded in modern times, he retained all his faculties unimpaired to the end. He was born in 1757, nineteen years before the beginning of the American revolution. Reform isn't always what it is preached up to be. All men are animals—and some of them are car-seat hogs. There's usually a wide gap between promise and performance. Some men go broke and some others haven't enough to go broke on. Among other things frequently missed as we journey through life is the last car. A woman derives more satisfaction from the things she suspects than from the things she is sure of. A Good Story on Andrew Carnegie. "It is no secret in Pittsburg that Mr. Carnegie was consulted in the formation of the list of the twenty-eight "undefiled" citizens of Greater Pittsburg whose achievements in the field of morals and industrial competition were celebrated last week at the banquet of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce. They do not go far in Pittsburg until they consult Andy. When a list of the possibilities was laid before him, he called for a blue pencil and began a slashing attack along the whole line. As he marked out one name after the other—so goes the tale, on the authority of a well-known citizen of Pitsburg, now in New York, familiar with the facts and a friend of Carnegie from boyhood—the ironmaster chanted impressively from a celebrated psalm: "Who shall stand in the hill of the Lord?" And off went a name. "And who shall walk in His holy place?" Off went another. "He that hath clean hands." More blue pencil. "And a pure heart." Heavy marking, which broke the lead. "Who hath not lifted up his soul to vanity?" The name of a very prominent person with a social aspiration erased. "Nor sworn deceitfully." Pencil extremely active. "He that putteth not out his money to usury." Further slashing Then a name caught his eye, which hovered grimly over it. The pencil paused at the nomen and prenomen of a certain Scotch-American multimillionaire, who has endowed libraries gallore, who owns the underlyiny bonds of the model corporation, who would as soon win money at bridge as in Wall street, whose only regret is that he did not sell a certain property for twice what he charged for it. The chanting of the sacred song went on. "Who sweareth to his own hurt and changeth not." But the pencil left that one name undisturbed, unchallenged; and an expression of pleasure flitted over Mr. Carnegie's countenance, as he broke the chain of sacred quotation with the wise observation: "It is wonderful how these ancient Scriptures can be applied to modern conditions." An egotist is the center of an admiring crowd—and he's the crowd. THE CEMENT AGE A Three-Story House for Less Than $300. The attention of the writer has been called to the wonderful increase of cement houses in Denver and surrounding districts, both of the block THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGTONS and solid wall type. We present here with a picture of a three-story house located on West Colfax avenue, which can be built by anyone of a little mechanical skill for less than three hundred dollars, including the materials, and extra labor one would have to employ. The house is fourteen feet wide and twenty-three feet eight inches long. The walls are solid rock and cement, and are laid between boards the same as the old style grout house, stone being used as much as possible between each layer of cement and gravel, mixed one of cement, four of sand and eight of screened gravel. The loose stone should be surrounded by the concrete at least one inch thick on every side. On account of the great strength of the cement wall it is not necessary to have the wall of the first story or basement over ten inches thick, and above the first story six inches is of ample thickness when 1x6 board uprights are used every thirty-two inches. Barb-wire or any old iron should be used plentifully in the wall and corners to strengthen it. Six-inch sewer pipe can be used to advantage in the wall for chimneys. The floor of the basement is cement and the two upper floors hard pine. Creosote stain is used inside, also on the roof and gables. The balance of the paint is pure lead and oil. The creosote is mixed with about one-fourth boiled linseed oil and color. This style of house is especially adapted to a south slope and is cool and dry in summer and warm in winter. The cement used was Colorado Ideal Portland, which the writer considers the best cement made. A valuable pamphlet entitled "How to Use Cement," can be obtained by addressing The Portland Cement Co., Colorado building, Denver. None Ahead of Mark Twain. Success tells this story of America's humorist: As Mark Twain and a friend were chatting at the summer home of the humorist, Quarry Farm, near Elmira, New York, the conversation turned to the wealth of John D. Rockefeller. "Just think of it, Sam," said the guest, "he has more dollars than there are hairs in that vigorous old thatch of yours." "That's nothing," replied Mr. Clemens, "I have more dollars than he has hairs in his head." Getting Ready. "It's just as well to be prepared for that war with Japan. At least that's what our people think at home." "But what sort of preparation can they make?" "I've just had a letter from my wife and she writes that the Winfield Scott Light Guards unanimously disbanded Saturday night. — Cleveland Plaindealer.

Johnson, of 603 West Hickman St., Columbia, Mo., says: "Following an operation two years ago, dropsy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disor- ago, dropsy set in, and my left side was so swollen the doctor said he would have to tap out the water. There was constant pain and a gurgling sensation around my heart, and I could not raise my arm above my head. The kidney action was disor dered and passages of the secretions too frequent. On the advice of my husband I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Since using two boxes my trouble has not reappeared. This is wonderful, after suffering two years." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Shipwrecked Sailors Saved. Eleven men, members of the crew of the Norwegian antarctic expedition ship Catherine, have been rescued after having been cast away on one of the Crozet isles in the southern Indian ocean, far off the track of commerce. They were found in exceedingly good health, having subsisted on penguins, sea elephants, albatross eggs and food from the depot placed there in 1880. The latter was not particularly wholesome, but the men got used to it. One bottle of whisky which was washed ashore was kept for Christmas. They were short of matches, and used only one daily, and made every effort to keep alight a lamp, owing to the severe cold. Coming Popular Craze. Signs are not wanting that amateur photography will have a vast increase of raw recruits in 1907.

The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, home-made remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholesome, old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE-HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy. Peruna. Fruit was greatly injured by the heavy snow and freezing weather last week. Pueblo is about to stir up a muss over the filthy condition of their packing house. V. McClelland, of Glenwood Springs, accidentally fell into the Frying Pan river Tuesday and was drowned. Denver is having another "pure food" crusade, and for a while baled alfalfa won't be served as pre-digested breakfast food. Governor Buchtel has vetoed the anti-fusion bill passed by the Sixteenth Assembly, so just go right on and fuse as much as you like. Fire Chief Owens, of Denver, says he had a seismographic sensation on the exact anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake. How shocking. Napoleon Stone, an aged farmer from Washington, has disappeared in Denver and the police are looking for him. He had considerable money with him. After being confined in the county jail at Grand Junction for nearly a week, James F. Goddard, a prominent contractor, whose arrest on the charge of robbery caused a sensation here, was liberated. "Christianity has wasted much time and energy in justifying God and making the devil responsible for evil," declared a Denver preacher, and some of his listeners are wondering who he was 'luding to. M. B. Tomblin, George W. Williams and W. W. Degge, of Boulder, have purchased the townsite of Nederland and will immediately exploit the property with a view of increasing the population of the town. Scientists tell us that, on an average, the earth's crust is only fifteen miles deep and the inside is a boiling, seething mass of lava. Someone ought to speak to these Colorado schoolmarts about walking too hard on the ground. Colorado's sun was sinking in a swoony sort of way, when a youth and maid in raptures strolled along at close of day; "Let's get married," said the youngster, "and help to boost the state." "You're it," the maiden answered. Now their boosters number eight. Manitou is a dry town just now. Pressure of other business is responsible for the authorities falling to grant extensions of liquor licenses and the indications are that the town will continue to be dry for two weeks or longer, during which time nothing stronger than Manitou water goes. While attempting to arrest four men whom he had detected stealing wire from the traction company's barn, at Pueblo, Thomas Self, a private watchman, was struck with a stone, and a deep gash inflicted in the right side of his head. Self succeeded in capturing one of the trio, who gave the name of Peter Doyle. The Denver Marble and Granite Company has just completed a magnificent granite monument to be placed over the grave of the late ex-Governor Davis H. Waite. The monument is the gift of the Western Federation of Miners and will be unveiled by that organization with proper ceremonies at the cemetery in Aspen on Decoration Day. A company is being formed at Steamboat Springs by Clinton Bivens and Claude H. Rowlette for the piping of natural gas to that city from the Charles Helzey ranch, where there is a strong flow of gas out of the earth. The Helzey ranch is four miles north of Steamboat Springs, and within half a mile of the Republican mine on Copper range. Several hundred lives were endangered and property valued at $100,000 threatened when fire broke out in the basement of the First Baptist church, corner of Ninth street and Grant avenue, at Pueblo. Several fire companies responded to the alarm and the blaze was extinguished with small loss. The church was crowded and several were slightly bruised in their hurry to get out. William Dunne, after whom the town of Dunneville was named, died at the county hospital. Death resulted from heart disease, superinduced by alcoholism. Dunne was sixty-one years old, single, and lived at Adelaide. He was employed on the section by the Florence & Cripple Creek road. In 1904, just before the battle of Dunneville, several section men christened the town after their fellow workman. A fortune estimated at $35,000 has been hunting Tom Thomas, a former resident of Grand Junction, for six months. Postmaster Price received a letter recently from Joseph Neuville of Wellington, New Zealand, urging him to make an effort to find Thomas. Neuville said he was grubstaked by Thomas and thus enabled to make a rich strike in Goldfield, Nevada. He says he sold his claim for $70,000 and wants to share this wealth with his friend. Unless present plans miscarry, the American Beet Sugar Company will have at least one more factory in the Arkansas valley to handle the immense crop of this section. The steel frames for the limehouse and the boiler rooms have been put in place for the factory at Las Animas and the work is rapidly getting under way, with the prospects for completion in time to handle this year's product. The smokestack is completed to a height of eighty feet and will reach 175 feet in the air when the last brick is laid. The Knights of Columbus organized a council at the Masonic Temple in Fort Collins and concluded the exercises with a banquet. The charter list contains sixty names. The following officers were elected: Grand Knight, James W. Feeney; deputy grand knight, Charles McGinnity; chancellor, D. M. Mayer; financial secretary, James H. Kneumeyer; recorder, Edward F. Livernash; treasurer, W. A. Ryan; warden, John Mackin; lecturer, Rev. Father J. Lajeunesse; advocate, Charles Duncan; outside guard, F. J. Kneumeyer; trustees, M. J. Fitzpatrick and E. J. Livernash; representative to state council, C. J. McGuire. Two hundred knights were in attendance from Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder and Cheyenne. The third degree was exemplified under the direction of District Deputy M. W. Purcell of Denver. AGE TOLD BY THE PULSE. From Birth to Death the Beats Have a Steady Decrease. How old are you? Ask your pulse. The human pulse has a wide range, even in perfectly healthy persons. The female pulse always beats faster than the male, and from birth to death the pulse beats steadily decrease. It has been said by great authorities that the age and sex of a person could be ascertained by the rate of the pulse alone. Babies at birth have a pulse beat of 160 times a minute in case of a girl and 150 in the case of boys. At the age of four or five the pulse beats will have fallen respectively to 110 and 100. Maidens' and youths' pulses average 95 and 90. Mature men and women average 80 and 75. Elderly men and women have an average of 60 and 50. An old woman's pulse rarely, if ever, sinks below 50, but among men a pulse beat below 50 is quite common. There are, however, great variations consistent with health. Napoleon's pulse is said to have beaten only 44 times a minute. BLOOD GETS SOUR. Gives Advice and Tells of Simple Home Mixture. At this time of year, says a well-known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health. City Man Is Worst Bore City Man is Worst Bore. It is a moot point which particular kind of "shop" is the dullest for an outsider to listen to. Many people vote for golf shop. There is certainly much to be said for this view. Unintelligible discussions about approach shots and slicings make an uninitiated hearer yawn about as quickly as most things. The author of "Social Silhouettes," however, votes for the conversation of the hardened city man. "There is, I think," he says, "no kind of conversation known to man which can for a moment compete in point of dullness with the habitual discourse of the genuine city man."—London Globe. French Sailors Use Drugs. The extent to which the narcotic habit prevails in the French navy was illustrated a few days ago by the proceedings of a court-martial at Brest. The defendants were half a dozen seamen of ordinary rating, who were charged with a considerable number of robberies. All the men were victims of opium or the ether habit, or both combined, and were in the habit of bemuddling themselves daily with these drugs and the robberies had been committed to gratify their passion. Severe sentence were passed. Back to the Club. The honeymoon was on the ragged edge of the last chapter. "My dear," said the ex-bachelor, "I believe I'll teach you to play cards." "That will be just too lovely for anything, darling," rejoined the young wife. "What game will you teach me!" "Solitaire," answered the heartless wretch, who promised to love, honor, and pay the groceryman. APPENDICITIS. Not at All Necessary to Operate in Many Cases. Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix.) A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then Grape-Nuts and got well without an operation. She says: "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion." (Too much starch, white bread, potatoes, etc., which she did not digest). "Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grape-Nuts. "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 98 lbs., but I soon grew to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person." (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a form of digestable sugar in making Grape-Nuts.)

The war correspondent, Frederie Villiers, has recorded a talk with Bret Harte apropos of the poem, "Dickens in Camp:" "We all felt his loss most keenly in the States," said Harte: "On hearing of his death (I) sat down about three in the afternoon to write an editorial on the great author. I wrote one and then tore it up. Then another, after much pains, was written. This did not please me, so I tore it up. I wrote yet another and threw it into the waste paper basket; it would not do. It was getting late, and I was now keeping the paper waiting for press. I was drumming on my desk, absolutely without another thought in my head; I had run dry. Suddenly I mechanically began to write and the result was the thing you seem to like so much. Well, Mr. Villiers, you are not far out. I like it, too." SKIN SORE EIGHT YEARS. Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies but Got No Relief—Cuticura Cures in a Week. "Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms, and I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cuticura Remedies (costing a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I can again attend to my business. I went to work again to night. I had been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cuticura Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff, 24 Columbus Ave., New York, N. Y., March 29 and April 6, 1906." GONE FOREVER. Ten years ago a farmer put his initials on a dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors. The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors.

Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Direct Evidence. "Well, Pat, when did you last see our old friend Smith?" "I saw him last month making the ascent of Mount Vesuvius with his young lady." "And was he indulging in his old weakness—kissing?" "Well, I didn't actually see him kissing, but sure enough that was his object, as he was trying to get at the mouth of the crater." Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disease portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. The only way to cure deafness is mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or it performs best when the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition.

The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Bishop Potter's Answer A young clergyman in a remote country district wrote last Easter time to Bishop Potter, saying that he was about to take a wife, and asking if, to save some other clergyman a long and weary journey, he could not marry himself. The bishop's reply was marvelously concise. It said: "Could you bury yourself?" THE CHANC Sensible Advice to Wome Mrs. Fred Certia MRS HENRY LEE Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. This is the most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, backaches, melancholia, dread of impending evil, palpitation of the heart, irregularities, constipation and dizziness are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected. Mrs. Fred Certia, 1014 So. Lafayette Street, So. Bend, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "Lydia E.

For several months I suffered from hot flashes, extreme nervousness, headache and sleeplessness. I had no appetite and could not sleep. I had made up my mind there was no help for me until I began to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, my bad symptoms ceased, and it brought me safely through the danger period, built up my system and I am in excellent health. I consider Lydia E.

One of the prettiest models in this has a kilted skirt with bands of the stripe cut horizontally, together with a short coat having the wide sleeves and a turned-down collar of embroidery tied with a silk tie. The wide sleeves are the distinguishing feature of the season, either cut in one with the coat, or put in separately, they appear on every jacket, and, besides these, I would note as a most prominent fancy, tassels. These, small and long, depend from tunics and sleeves, and hoods and corners of capes. Another fancy is the glace coat made in black and worn with a checked skirt, and again I have noticed a tendency to adopt coat and skirt of different shades of one color, light grey and dark grey, light biscuit and brown being perhaps the most successful of such combinations. There is no diminution to the favor being accorded to the blouse and skirt THE LADY'S DRESS FOR THE SPRING of the lingerie description, these having been placed within the possibilities of the multitude. A pretty shape of coat rounds from the front to a tail at the back, and there is much attention being paid to the short jacket which has a seam just above the waist and a kilt to reach this. The sacques have a very modified fulness, and a little mantle which deserves admiration being neither exactly a coat, nor yet a domino, but yet possessing virtues belonging to 1 Pale Blue Cloth Costume, with White Vest and Black Velvet Buttons. There has not been a season in many a long year when we could so simply say that old things had passed both is the last figure in an illustration. This is made of dull blue fine cloth, and trimmed with bands of Chinese embroidery, and it bears many tassels of mixed colors at the corners. The dress in the center is of cloth with embroidered lawn collar and cuffs, it might be well achieved in dull pink and crowned with a hat to match, and trimmed with a mass of red roses. The first picture—which I have, in no spirit of contradiction, but by mere accident, kept to the last—is of dull green cloth trimmed with copper and oxidised braid, and I would have it for its best success crowned with a black hat encircled with green and brown ostrich feathers. I note that, while the short skirt is a recognized favorite, it is never permitted to do duty on festive occasions; for this, the skirts are cut to touch the ground and cling closely round the hips and bear a measure of fulness at the back, a graceful order of affairs. The Japanese outline remains conspicuous on evening cloaks and traveling cloaks, and tassels are indispen- 99 sable decorations to these, which are, however, invested, with complete indifference to tradition, with a distinct waist-line, the Japanese effect being mainly retained by the shape of the sleeves. Fashion, indeed, is a tale of sleeves, and the garments of yester-year may at once be distinguished by these; unless, of course, such garments happen to have been the property of the fortunate few who, by always buying in the most expensive markets, often manage to forestall fashion. away. Old materials, old colors, old ideas may still be used, but they must enter into calculation rather as accessories to be a combination with new suggestions than as a whole. The spirit of change is abroad in the land, and it makes itself felt nowhere more potent than in dress. We may wear last season's clothes, but not as they were, and to the economically inclined this must be a season of delight, for the old things never lent themselves so adaptably to refurbishing as now, and here the popular silks are their salvation. It is the exception when a gown of silk itself is not trimmed with a silk of another weave, if not of a different color. Taffeta is used rather for ornamental purposes than as entire costumes, except in black, which is as popular as ever. The majority of silks are figured, yet plain weaves are, strictly speaking, just as good. Satin duchesse, which has been on the market for many aeons, is heralded as a novelty for coat suits, and those of its construction are indeed very smart. For this purpose, both colors and black are in order. Tuscan, shantung, tussah, rajah, and mirage, all are popular for day and evening costumes, for coat suits, for formal or informal occasions, for separate coats or for entire suits. They require but little trimming, drape gracefully, wear well, and altogether possess those qualities which go to make up a satisfactory spring fabric. The mother of the king of Portugal is said to have been bankrupted through her passion for dress. The king has virtually banished her to Italy. --- Denver's Favorite Pleasure Resort.

DENVER, COLO Denver, Colorado Holy City and Its Inhabitants Fallen on Evil Ways. Miss Helen M. Smith entertained a large company in the ballroom of the Tulieries this morning by an animated description of the far eastern countries, says the Boston Transcript. She presented pictures of places rich in classic and biblical interest—Constantinople, Smyrna (where the tomb of Polycarp is), the ruins of the temple of Diana at Ephesus, Jaffa and Jerusalem were all described in wonderfully entertaining fashion. There was a narration of the gradual climb of four hours to the latter city which is 3,000 feet above the sea. Great areas of brilliant red flowers, "the lilies of the field," make a striking impression during this journey. "Jerusalem," said Miss Smith, "cannot fall to disappoint—grieve one with ideals. There is so much dirt, deprivacy and deceit; so many Calvaries, so many graves from which the stone was rolled away! There is only one Gethsemane, but it is a tawdry, artificial place—in no sense the secluded spot where 'the suffering Savior wept alone.' The Mount of Olives probably looks as it did 1,900 years ago. It was, indeed, the only place where I felt reverence for the holy land. From it I could see the River Jordan, the Dead sea, and follow, in fancy, the wandering step of Abraham and feel the influence of the prophets of old. "Jerusalem to-day is surely in need of an enlightened prophet who will rid the city of its filth, bring healthy conditions to its half-blind children, and a better sense of right to its morally deprived people. Here, where the best examples of Christianity should be shown are seen the worst. Never mind where the actual cross borne along the Via Dolorosa, the cross of ignorance that is crushing the people should be lifted. All ways in Jerusalem today are ways of sorrow." Wanderings of a Seagull. On October 28 last there was shot at Ouchy, on Lake Lemon, a seagull aged about 16 months which was found to be wearing on its claw a silver ring engraved with the words "Vogel station, Rossitten 20." Rossitten is situated in the Lido of the Cortland lagoon, between Konigsberg and Memel, in the Baltic, 1,500 kilometers from the Lake of Geneva. M. Forel of Lausanne communicated with Dr. J. Thienemann, director of the ornithological station at Rossitten. According to the latest notes the gull No. 20 was hatched there and was marked, with the ring when a few weeks old before it could fly, on July 4, 1905. It seems probable that it had thus made two winter migrations before it fell a victim to the human barbarian. So Small. And it came to pass that soul weighing was a scientific fad. "I'd like to get a pair of the most delicate scales you can put up," said the great physician. "Yes, sir," replied the great manufacturer of scales. "We can construct you a pair that will register the weight of a human hair." "Indeed! Well, could you construct he a pair that would register the weight of a mole's hair?" "Mole's hair? Great Scott! What do you want to use them for?" "I want to weigh the soul of a trust baron." Useful Hornets. "Lawson," said the old colored deacon, as he timidly gazed at the hornets' nest in the course of construction among the rafters of the meeting house, "why doan' yo' git a broom en sweep dem insects out of de house ob worship?" But the wise old parson shook his head solemnly. "No, Brudder Simpson, Providence done sent dem hornets." "En what foh, pawson?" "Why, to keep sleepin' sinnehs awake. Wid all dem hornets buzzin' fro de ah deh won't be enny mo' snorin' in church dis season." New Bills Not Popular. According to the Washington Post, quoting a cashier, bank officials do not prefer fresh, new bills to old ones. "Everybody doesn't care for new greenbacks," said a cashier. "It is a common idea that bank cashiers do not care to give up crisp paper money. As a matter of fact, nine cashiers out of every ten try to get rid of new money as quickly as possible after receiving it. There is grave danger to the average paying teller in handling unused money. New Bank notes stick together. Frequently the ink is not thoroughly dry." Both Right. "I'm not expecting any package," said Mrs. Hamlet to the driver of the delivery wagon, who was persistent. "This is the number," insisted the driver, looking at his book again. "Name Hamlet, ain't it?" "I think not. It must be a case of mistaken identity." "No, mum. It's a case of beer." Lunch for Hungry Youngsters. Miss Julia Richman, a district superintendent in New York schools, is having great success with a penny luncheon of crackers and milk for the youngest children. An investigation not long ago in that city showed 70,000 breakfastless children in the public schools.
