THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Washington D.C. The Passing of Arthur Simmons, Appointed by Mr. Lincoln Door keeper to the Secretary to the President. The Modern Bargain Day. A Suggestive Moral Applied in the Case of the Negro. VOL. XIII, Washing The Passing of Arthur Simmons, keeper to the Secretary to Bargain Day. A Sugge the Case of Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. Arthur Simmons is dead. During many years he was probably on terms of cordial familiarity with more men who have helped make American history than any other Negro. Arthur was appointed doorkeeper for the secretary to the President during Mr. Lincoln's first term and continued uninterruptedly in this position until the Harrison administration, when in 1889 he was transferred to the Treasury Department. It is said that Mr. Clevelands' first official act of his second administration, was to annul the decree of banishment against Arthur and call him once more to the White House. During this period of official ostracism, it is said that he persistently refused to as much as set foot within its grounds. His return to duty at the door of the secretary was very much in the nature of a triumph and vindication and so considered by himself and friends. On his first appearance after his enforced absence he was overwhelmed with congratulations by employes and visitors alike. About two years ago Arthur was again relieved of duty in the Presidents official household and again transferred, this time to the Interior Department. The infirmities of age had already crept upon him and soon became insistent that he lay down the cares of office entirely, and so a little later on, he took to his bed where the partial paralysis of the system kept him prisoner until the end a few days ago. Arthur was never very popular with the Negro politicians having business at the White House. These quite generally considered that he was unduly appreciative of a sense of his own importance. Others quite freely charged that it was very much more difficult to get a pleasant word from Arthur than it was to have a ten minutes interview with the President, while his most gracious smile was spread when the caller was one of the other race. He was a native of North Carolina, a communicant in the Methodist church and leaves a widow and several children all grown, in circumstances of comfort. There are but few women folks who are immune to the allurements of the modern bargain sales-day and in increasingly large numbers, the men too, are becoming innoculated with the same virus. Which ever way you turn the seductive tale of bargains is there to confront you. It boldly stares you in the face out of the pages of your Sunday morning paper and fearing this may have escaped your notice, the postman delivers you a personal reminder in the shape of a booklet, beautifully illustrated with "goods and prices guaranteed," "must be right or money back" and all such rainbow promises gloriously in evidence. Follow the crowd in the business dist on Thursdays or Fridays and you are bound to bring up in front of a bargain counter. It may be "regular fifty cent hosiery at nine teen cents the pair;" an actual half price sale of millinery or 'clothing which the perversity of a backward season has kept on the shelves: the well known "green ticket or redletter" sale with the goods oddly priced in all possible combinations of the magic figures nine and eight or it may be a genuine rip-roaring, never equaled fire, dissolution or bankrupt sale, with the poor innocent goods, some of which have cost many weary hours of heartache and suffering in the making-all to be sacrificed at twenty cents or thereabouts on the dollar. Then there's another sort of bargain which they hand you in fractions. These are only to be had in the large department stores. You will find them in the grocery annex or at the lace linen and domestic counter. It is perhaps well to say that, when seeking fractional bargain one should under no circumstance neglect to carry along a handy pocket edition of some good ready reckoner. This will save a good deal of worry and subsequent loss of sleep and perhaps appetite as well. Then, too, one avoids that abasement and humiliation of spirit which comes with the conviction that we are not half as bright as others think us and that even a little sales girl is a bigger "it" than we are. This of itself should not make one feel badly, for if you but knew DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1907. the tiny Miss who waits upon you has the whole business figured out on a convenient little card and at a seconds notice can tell you what twelve and three quarters yards of birds eye domestic will tax you at five and seven eighths per. or any other similar conundrum. There are lots of mysteries in bargains, by the way, which if solved would ruin the business and cause such weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth as has scarcely ever been seen in Israel, at least, not recently, at all events. However I dont believe in knocking people who are from two-thirds to three-fourths decent, both in business and morals and that's what they are. So we'll let that pass. Its not their fault that they were created a wee bit sharper than other people. There are compensations in everything and for everything. Creation was builed on that principle. Business initiative, capacity for organization and a remarkably large nose for finance are their compensation for nineteen hundred years of hardship and toil, persecution and homeless wandering. We have said there are compensation in everything and for everything and may we not believe for everybody, Negro too, as well as others. The "bargain" idea is one of the principal rounds in the ladder of compensation, by means of which the Jewish people have risen to power and financial independence. They have realized their compensation in a concrete, practical and substantial form, through an intelligent study of the needs and whims of their fellows, backed up by the impression, created and sustained, that the public is getting the very best return for the investment of its time and money. The ladder of compensation by which the Negro is to ascend to and jointly occupy a Canaan of civic privilege and opportunity, is firmly and irremovably placed. Education, commercialism, racial integrity and political independence are a few of the rounds upon which he must first securely place his feet, for there is no royal road to this desired goal. In other words, he must begin at the bottom and work up like all other candidate. When the time comes, as we believe it will, when he may offer bargains in those agencies which are reputed best equipped and most effective in the work that the world decrees shall be done, whether of statesmanship or in the busy marts of trade, there need be no fear of his being overlooked in the mad rush of the bargain hunters. The color of the bargain will cut no figure. Black or brown will do equally as well as white; but it must be a bargain. JOHN H. PAYNTER. PROF. MILLER Writes of "Roosevelt and the Negro." Charges Ingratitude. The President Turns on the Race that Saved Him at San Jnan Hill and in New York Gubernatorial Election. "Roosevelt and the Negro," is the title of an article by Prof. Kelly Miller, of Howard University, Washington, D. C. In part, it says: "The late Senator Ingalls, in one of his luminous flashes, defined politics as 'the metaphysics of force' This definition fits with philosophic fineness the nature of Theodore Roosevelt, who is its most strenuous exemplar. "In effective political dynamics and intensity of accelerative energy he easily surpasses all the present day rulers of the earth. He has no reserved physical or psychical potencies. All the energies of his nature are in the active voice and present tense. With him pure reasoning is a burden, and disquisitional niceties a waste of while and a weariness of flesh. "His one superlative passion is how to bring things to pass. His mind works with the celerity of feminine intuition. He reaches conclusions and settles issues with a swiftness and self-satisfying certainty that startles the more cautious statesmen who rely upon the slower processes of reason and deliberation. "He has diagnosed the case, prescribed the remedy, and cured, or killed the patient before the ordinary physician has finished feeling the pulse. After the deed is done, he leaves to the college professor or the senile moralist to discuss the moral quality of the method employed. If he has not a jesuitical disregard of means, he at least considers them as but subsidiary processes, which must not too seriously embarrass the righteous end in view. "He is the greatest living preacher of righteousness, but it is always righteousness as it is in Roosevelt. He holds to his conception of public duty with the tenacity of infallible assurance. If others are too stubborn to accept or too dull to appreciate his more enlightened point of view, the worse is the perversity, or the more the pity. He never reaches intellectual or moral sublimity, but is transendent only in action. "His deeds are never dull. Even in dealing with the commonplaces of life he infuses into them the energizing spirit of his own nature. He dramatizes the Ten Commandments and vitalizes time-worn moral maxims with a spirit and power as if they were fresh pronouncements to arouse the energies of a lethargic world. A man almost or wholly without Anglo-Saxon blood, he is the ideal embodiment of the Anglo-Saxon spirit, which glorifies beyond all things else the power of doing things. The Celt is in his heart and hand. The Gaul is in his brain and nerve. "He is absolutely self-centered, and believe that he was sent into the world to set things right. The world has accepted him at his own appraisement, as it is prone to do with all ardent natures, especially if they be serious and incessant in the advocacy of their high pretensions. "He accomplishes his sovereign purposes while his fellow-citizens stand amazedly at gaze, as an astronomer when a new luminary flashes suddenly upon his vision and pursues its uncomputed orbit across the skies. "There is no question of human interest whose magnitude or minuteness is beyond his strenuous handling. He gives the American women salutary advice as to their domestic function and duty: with an off-hand stroke of the pen seeks to reform English orthography, which has been slowly modifying from the Chaucer to Mark Twain; sets up as expert critic of the habits of wild animals, while Americans, of however high reputation and standing, who persist in seeing things under other than his own angle of vision may regard themselves as lucky indeed if they escape being relegated to his famous 'Index Praevaricatorum.' "Roosevelt's second point of contact with the Negro race was during the Spanish war. In that famous charge up San Juan Hill—or was it Kettle Hill?—the courage and intrepidity of the Negro troops saved Col. Roosevelt and his Rough Riders from utter destruction. Had it not been for their courageous intervention he would have been cut off in the flower of his youth, and his dazzling career lost to the American people. Gratitude is not characteristic of a self-righteous nature. When one is overburdened with a sense of his ordained primacy, he naturally looks upon lesser men as being put into the world as auxillaries to his higher NO. 49. mission. While the whole world was extolling the prowess of the Negro soldier, it was reserved for the chief beneficiary of that prowess to sound the sole discordant note. In a notable magazine article, where our present day warriors are wont to fight their battles with an ingenuity and courage rarely equaled on the tented field, Col. Roosevelt either discredited their valor or dammed them with such faint praise as to dim the luster of their fame. "The ungenerous criticism dumfounded the Negro race, as subsequent developments have clearly shown, touches the pride and arouses the resentment of this race as nothing else can do. For a time there was no more unpopular man in America throughout Afro-Americandom. But election time was approaching. Political exigencies made him the available candidate for the governorship of the Empire State of New York. The chief factor in this availability was the military glamour that gathered about him because of San Juan Hill, where the colored troops fought so nobly. The results at this election depended upon the colored vote, whose resentment he had aroused. Candidate Roosevelt so mollified and qualified the strictures of Col. Roosevelt as to take away much of the keenness of the sting. By the use of such blandishments as the politician knows well how to apply to salve to sores of an aggrieved class during the unrest of a heated campaign, the injury was forgiven, or at least held in abeyance. "Under the rallying cry of the grand old party the Negro vote came to the rescue and supported him almost to a man. The slender margin of his victory showed that his success was due to that support. Had the Negro persisted in a spiteful spirit and sought vengeance at the polls his political career doubtless would have been cut short and the pent-up energies of his nature must have sought outlet through a different channel. "It was thus that the Negro saved his political life at the ballot box, as he had saved his physical life on the battle field." (Codtimed to next week) RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. The following telegram was wired to Governor Vardaman by E. P. McCabe, colored, Assistant Auditor of Oklahoma: "Oklahoma Negroes herald your crushing defeat for Senator with zest; while they congratulate the citizens of Mississippi on their finesse."

SAYS BRYAN IS AFRAID STANDS UP FOR RCOSEVELT AND OUTLINES POLICY HE WOULD PURSUE AS PRESIDENT. Denver.—Secretary William H. Taft delivered a speech from the steps of the capital building at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon before a gathering that might have better been measured by the acre. Rain was descending gently when the party appeared. An adjournment to the Broadway theater was discussed but frowned upon as meaning too much delay. So the program was commenced, and soon the rain ceased. It was an attentive crowd, but not particularly demonstrative. While the rain was falling Taft had been introduced, and as there were many umbrellas up he climbed up on a large table so as to be plainly seen. Mr. Walsh and Mr. Vivian took turns holding an umbrella over his bare head until the sun came forth. Just as Taft arose to speak little ten-year-old Margaret De Seller of 781 South Logan avenue ran forward and presented him with a bouquet. Her family used to live in Cincinnati and all of its members are personal friends of the Taft family. Governor Buchtel introduced Secretary Taft, who said: Secretary Taft's Speech. "Ladies and Gentlemen: I thought Colorado was in need of irrigation. This seems to indicate that all that work has been in vain, and also no necessity for such reclamation. "It is a great pleasure to be here in this great state of Colorado. It is a great pleasure to encounter the fresh hospitality that seems to expand as one goes west in this country until you reach this city near the high peaks of the Rockies. "You have in Colorado—we all have throughout this country—the greatest prosperity that any country in the world has ever known. This condition of enormous wealth—the accumulation of wealth in the hands of individuals—has never before been seen in the history of the world. "While everybody is comfortable the people have arisen with revelations of dishonesty in business, in politics, and have insisted that the agents of political life, and the men in the business of politics, especially those enjoying public franchises, should live honestly and carry on their business with a high degree of integrity. Avenue of Greatest Abuse. "Now, perhaps, that avenue in which the greatest abuse has been proved to the public has been proved in respect to the management of the great interstate railways of this country. "This abuse appears as far back as 1887, and in order to overcome it the old interstate commerce law of that year was passed. It created a commission to determine whether the rates were reasonable. When it issued an order the railway company made its enforcement impossible, except by going into court and by the commission's proving in court the right to make the order. As a consequence the railway companies laughed att the power of that commission. Mr. Roosevelt in 1904, realizing the weakness of that commission, recommended to Congress that the commission should have the power to fix rates—and that an order, when made, should be effective. Barred From Coal Business. "The first argument was that it was socialistic. Second, that this commission was not able to fix rates; that it required skill and only skilled men could fix the rates, the managers of the railroads. The trouble was that the argument proved too much. Only certain individuals could fix the rates, and they were the individuals on whom it would be an injustice and partiality and discrimination to allow the commission to fix the rates—this was at the bottom of the whole trouble. Of course, the public or Congress would have said it was unconstitutional, on the ground that a constitutionally delegated power can not be delegated, but there is an exception to that rule, and that is that if the original power can not be enjoyed without delegating it, then there is an implication under the original grant that it is to be delegated. "In other words, Congress itself could not fix rates. Therefore, if that power is to be enjoyed at all, it is for the commission to determine what it shall do, and then do it. That principal has really been upheld by a number of state courts, and there is a dicum in the United States court sustaining it. "Now our friends, the railroads, say it is only a fake law, and they say that the Elkins law is really at the bottom of all these prosecutions. It is true that the present prosecutions are under the Elkins law, but the rebates which were given before this could not be punished under the rate bill. But the fact is, that the Elkins bill was unworthy in one respect. The Elkins bill took away the imprisonment penalty, and that is the reason why it passed so smoothly, without the opposition of the railroads. "I am not fierce. I am not bloody, and I do not want to criticise the railroad people. I submit to you a fair, honest question for the suppressing of the violation of law, whether just six months' imprisonment of any prominent trust man, who is engaged in receiving rebates, won't have more effect in settling this rebate question, then a fine? Must Live Up to Franchises. "I am not opposed to the railway companies. They have displayed brilliancy of management in many ways, but they have received from the public franchises, and the first principle of that franchise was that they should furnish equal facilities to all. It is generally admitted that they do not. "Now, perhaps that avenue in which the greatest abuse has been proven to the public has been proven in respect to the management of the great interstate railways of the country. "The Standard Oil company said, 'We can increase your receipts $100,000 a month, and if you do not give us a rebate we will go to your competitor.' The railroad company in a sense was bulldozed into it. Now I remark that by way of explanation and not by way of an excuse. "They have got to understand the law must be enforced; the law is for the rich as well as the poor, for the powerful as well as the lowly. "We have heard a great deal about overcapitalization. That means the issue of stocks and bonds on the credit of a company at a price below par, and loading a company up with debt and liability which it ought not to bear. Those who are in on the ground floor get the stock and bonds cheap and sell them to the public at a much higher price. So far as the injury done to persons who buy the stocks and bonds, that is done under state charters, but so far as it interferes with utility facilities or interstate transportation, that is within the regulative power of Congress. Will Certify Stocks: "Hence it is that a company engaged in interstate commerce shall not issue bonds or stock without the certificate of the interstate commission, and when it does that any honest man can buy, because he is certain that these stocks and bonds are liable to be used for lawful purposes. "Another thing, examinations by the interstate commerce commission show that a large part of interstate railway business of nearly one-half of the United States, the western part of the United States, is under the control of one management, and that has been secured by the issuing of stocks and bonds of one company to buy the stock of another until they have gradually become amalgamated. "If that system were continued, it would put the railways of the entire county under one management, and make us tremble, as we well might, that one man should exercise the power that involves. Therefore, there ought to be a provision of the law forbidding one interstate railroad from buying in the stock of another interstate commerce competing line; forbiding them from having the same directors, or a part of the same directorate as another interstate commerce competing line. "Now, Mr. Bryan says that the interstate commerce act loses all of its, or a good deal of its strength by reason of a judicial feature that went in there. Well, with all deference to that great authority, I am bound to say that he is surely in error. A railway company is like anybody else. It is a collection of individuals. It has the right under the fourteenth amendment and other amendments of the constitution to enjoy its own property, and that means anyone who holds property to use or operate it for a fair profit. Therefore, if the administrative tribunal requires it to use its property without profit at all, that is confiscatory of the property and it has the right to go into court for its constitutional protection against such confiscation. "Now, I come to the subject of trusts, which are the result of great combinations of capital. I do not say that a combination of capital is a trust, though it has sometimes been called so, whether it be illegal or not. Sometimes a trust means an illegal combination; sometimes it only means a large combination, without respect to its illegality. "No government would be justified in preventing the assembling of great capital, such as people deposit in small sums in savings banks, buying shares of stock, and those who gather in great corporations to to the business in such a way that the cost of the production of things necessary to the people is reduced. But when they combine capital to monopolize the market in such a way that they raise the prices as well as reduce the cost of production, and putthe difference in their own pockets, then they are engaged in what the anti-trust law declares to be unlawful. "What I wish to make clear is that combinations of capital are useful to the public, and are not to be condemned merely because they are combinations of capital. When they are used as a system coercion and prevent others from getting on in their business as competitors, then they become unlawful under the anti trust act. One method is, a great trust will say to its customers, or will say to the customers of a competitor. 'Why, we make the most of this product; if you do not buy from us, and if you do not refuse to buy from our competitors, then when you are in need of the product we will selit to you at a very high price, which is prohibitory of profit on your part.' In that way they treat the customers of small competitors to this system of coercion. They sometimes put that in the contract of sale, sometimes by a wink, sometimes in other underhand ways, but that is a very common method of driving a competitor out of the business. An- other method is, a great combination of capital will go into one corner of a states and find a small competitor there, and they will put down the price of the product far below what we can manufacture it at and keep it down until they have driven him out of the business, although in other parts of the country they get a much higher price for the article. That is an instance of unlawful monopoly and unlawful trust. There have been more prosecutions of trusts under Theodore Roosevelt than under all the other administrations before him put together. His administration has been extremely successful in suppressing that kind of a trust. "I believe in the suppression of a great many corporations which agree to maintain prices, and not sell below a certain price. "Mr. Bryan inquires why some of the trusts have not been imprisoned "The Standard Oil and the sugar trust have been prosecuted for taking rebates under the Elkins law. Under that law no imprisonments have been made; they are only fined—that is the result of the $29,000,000 fine imposed by Judge Landis in Chicago the other day. Now, as large as that fine is, if it had been forty or fifty days for the local manager of that Standard Oil Company, or the president, it would have been much more effective, and the execution of that judgment would have been much easier. Jurors Are Sensitive. "There is difficulty in securing conviction of the men engaged in this trust business by a jury in the early enforcement of the law, because you find jurors are rather sensitive about sending men to jail who are otherwise respectable. We had an instance of that in New York. We prosecuted the tobacco trust for monopolizing the licorice business. The president of the two companies came to the district attorney and said, 'We will plead guilty if you will agree on a fine.' That matter was brought to the attention of the Cabinet to know what steps to take. The Cabinet said: 'Send them to jail for the sake of example.' Well, they went right ahead, and the jury, as they had the right to do under the anti-trust laws, found the corporation guilty, and these two presidents, who admitted on the stand that they had done the very acts upon which the conviction of the company was based, stultified themselves and were acquitted. "Now that is what we have to encounter in prosecution. It won't last always. Ultimately, if this thing is continued, some shining mark will be hit, and when they are hit the effect will be substantially for good. I do not want to be thought to be bloody, but I do think that the enforcement of the law and the imposition of a severe penalty in two or three instances will effect wonders. "Now, Mr. Bryan wants to know what we are going to do with the trusts? Well, I say I am in favor of prosecuting them, or when they merit that prosecution, an action for injunction is the policy we can follow against every company or every trust against which we can get any evidence. Power of Government "I believe in the power of the American government to enforce its laws against combinations of capital or combinations of anyone else, and that is the method I would pursue. Mr. Bryan says that he is in favor of extirpation of trusts, root and branch. I am in favor of making it possible to combine capital for the usefulness of the public, and I am in favor of suppressing unlawful combinations and punishing those who are guilty. Policy of Roosevelt. "The policy of Mr. Roosevelt and the path that he is to follow is as clear as the noonday to him. It is, that he must take these steps which will bring to justice the man whose guilt he has evidence of, and it does not make any difference who it hurts. What he is engaged in doing is prosecuting men in respect to evidence that is fresh, to bring them to justice and if that creates a panic in Wall Street then we will have to stand it. "Now, I have heard the criticism that he has out-Bryaned Bryan. While I do not quite know what that means unless it means that both he and Mr. Bryan have seen and recognized certain evils which have grown out of our present prosperity and both are in favor of suppressing them. Yet anyone who has intimately studied the government under Mr. Roosevelt and the government which would be, but I think never will be, under Mr. Bryan, cannot fail to note the difference. No Law for Rich or Poor Alone. "You cannot make a law that will be effective against the rich and non-effective against the poor. It is not within your power to do so. They have attempted to do it in Oklahoma in their new constitution. They have got a provision by which a jury is required to pass on a question of whether the court's order of injunction has been violated. "But when you come to a railway company, or a corporation subjected to an administrative tribunal called a commission, that commission can first issue the order as an administrative tribunal, and await its disobedience by the railway company, against whom there is a charge for having violated this order, and can then turn itself into a court. That is what the constitution says. It can exercise the powers of a court, transmitting itself into a court, and fine this corporation, without a jury, not exceeding $500 a day during the time the order is violated. Afraid of Individual "What I say in respect to Mr. Bryan's form of government is that he is so afraid of the individual, and is so afraid to put power in the individual that represents the public, that you will have a nerveless government that cannot work and cannot do anything to compel obedience to the law. "You cannot weaken the courts without enabling the rich man a more effective chance to escape. Through the very rents that Mr. Bryan would make in order that what he considers the poor and lowly and unfortunate may escape, the wrongdoer, too, may escape. THE SCHEME WON'T WORK STATE BOARD PROMPTLY REJECTS PROPOSITION OF LAND GRABBERS IN COLORADO. SALES FEW AND SMALL RAILROAD MEN, POLITICIANS AND LAWYERS FAIL TO BUY SCHOOL LANDS FOR SONG. Denver—George W. Vallery, general manager of the Colorado Midland, and John F. Vallery, general agent for the Burlington in Denver, 640 acres near Hudson, Colorado, on the Burlington. J. Ernest Mitchell, attorney and real estate man, Littleton, thirty-five acres of town ground in Littleton, which has been partly divided into residence lots. Thomas Herrington, the handy Denver attorney, acting for others, 640 acres near Florence. John F. Church, politician in Weld county, 640 acres of coal land about Erie, the coal zone. J. S. Brown and Morris Workman, Tracey, Minnesota, 1,280 acres of coal land near Yampa, Routt county, in the richest coal zone of that part of the state. The Sanford Cattle Company, big live stock concern in northern Colorado, 320 acres of agricultural land. Speculation Charged. The foregoing application to purchase state school lands were rejected by the state board in special meeting, on the ground that the applicants were after the land for speculative purposes and for the further reason that the prices offered by them were too low. The Vallerys wanted a section near Hudson. They set no price for it, but the appraiser valued it at $10.20 an acre. However, it was suggested that the land had been taken into an irrigation district and water would be accessible within two years. The district has voted to issue $1,500,000 in bonds to build an irrigation system to reclaim 50,000 acres there. Similar conditions surrounded the land which Thomas Herrington of Denver wanted to buy near Florence at $5 an acre. Mr. Herrington represents the Beaver Land & Water Company, which has projected an irrigation system to cost $125,000 and owns and controls 12,000 acres of land there. The land sought by Herrington has a value now of $25 an acre and a prospective value of $150 an acre. It was suspected by the board that John F. Church wanted to buy section 16, township 1 north, range 68 west, a section containing rich deposits of coal, for speculative purposes. It was appraised at $25 an acre. The surface is good agricultural land. It was further suspected that the Denver Land Company might have some connection with it. Wanted Town Lots. J. Ernest Mitchell would have had a snap had his application gone through. There are thirty-five acres in the tract he sought to buy. It lies in the town of Littleton, east of the Santa Fe railroad track, and is desirable residence property. He offered from $75 to $100 an acre. It is worth at least $200 an acre. Patrick Sullivan was sold 4,480 acres near Hayden, Routt county, for $3.50 an acre. Frederick T. Henry was sold section 10, township — north, range 886 west, for $5 an acre. This is also in Routt. Plant to Treat Ore. Central City, Colo.—At a meeting of the stockholders of the Evergreen Gold and Copper Mines Company held last week the question of the erection of some kind of a plant for the treatment of the Evergreen ore, which the company has had in mind for more than a year, was thoroughly discussed. On this matter the stockholders were divided, some being in favor of the erection of a smetter and the rest wanting a concentrator. The matter was finally left with the board of directors and at a subsequent meeting of that body held in Denver it was practically decided that a concentrator should be erected. As soon as the size of the plant is determined construction work will be commenced. It is the intention of the Evergreen people to have the concentrator in operation some time during the fall. Of late very little work has been done in the Evergreen property, operations being resumed a short time before the stockholders' meeting. The work now under way is at the 200-foot level, where a large dike is being crosscut. Some good ore has been encountered in this dike, which runs from thirty to sixty per cent copper and carries gold and silver values to the extent of $10 a ton. New Hotel at Grand. Denver.—Word has been received in Denver that Emil Ziehl, president of the Ziehl Realty Company, has been spending the past week at Grand Lake, Colorado, to perfect plans for the erection of one of the finest country hotels in the state, together with other improvements which will make the resort even more attractive than at the present time. Although the report has not yet been confirmed, it is intimated that the venture is already backed to a considerable extent by Chicago capital. Besides the building of a modern hotel, it is said that a twenty-five mile pipe line will be constructed from Hot Sulphur Springs, so that the invigorating waters from that section of the state may be made use of at Grand Lake. In addition to this it is proposed that a roller-coaster track be constructed from the summit to the base of Mount Baldy, which is but a short distance from the town. The expense of the undertaking will probably be in the neighborhood of $100,000. MAN-A-LIN THE IDEAL LAXATIVE MADE FROM CORRECTIVE AND ADJUVANTS. Copyright, 1898, by The Manailin Co.

The bard from the city had sold sufficient verses to spend a week in a rural boarding house. Waving off the swarms of June bugs and mosquitoes, the bard sat penning his lines by the yellow light of a kerosene lamp. "How I love this madrigal!" he mused to himself. The horny-handed farmer, who sat greasing his boots, looked up in surprise. "Gracious!" he drawled. "Where is she?" "Who?" asked the astonished bard. "Why, the gal yeou just said yeou loved." Stopped "Seeing Things." Enthusiastic Nature Lover (to Reformed Tramp)—Ah, my friend, how well you must know the face of nature, and know it in all its moods. Have you ever seen the sun sinking in such a glare of glory that it swallows up the whole horizon with its passionate fire? Have you seen the mist gliding like a specter down the shrinking hillside, or the pale moon struggling to shake off the grip of the ragged storm cloud?

ROOM 31 GOOD BLOCK. PHONE WHITE 3392. DENVER, COLO. Onas Gray's Fiddle The country telephone system had been extended to the wildest and most obscure part of the county. And one night just after supper the "central" at the county seat answered a ring from that line. "Hello, hello. Yes, this is the county seat. Speak up, please. Now who is it you want? The sheriff? All right, I'll call you." The officer looked up towards his shotgun when told that Shumake Ridge wanted to talk to him. "I wonder now what on earth they want this time. Guess some fellow has got drunk and broke up a dance." Soon the high officer was in connection with Shumake Ridge. "Well, this is the sheriff. What is it?" "Come down here, Mr. Sheriff, a dead man's been found. He ain't been dead long. When you git here, come to my house. This is Pritchard Culpepper talking. Say, send the coroner, too." By ten o'clock that night the sheriff, one of his deputies and the coroner were on the road to Shumake Ridge, lying in the far southwest corner of the county. Down there the people were uneducated. They lived among themselves. Their houses were of logs and rough lumber, located on poor soil. The ground in several places in that community had been soaked with human blood. The sheriff and his party traveled toward the Ridge at a steady trot, and just as the grayness of a new day spread over the Kentucky hills they approached their destination. The officers smelled meat frying as they passed the cabins, and saw the lank, rough-looking men going toward the horse-lots to feed. The cabin home of Pritchard Culpepper was found, located on the side of a hill behind a large walnut tree. Several men stood in silence in front of his house, others leaned against the fence, whittling. The moan of a girl came from the house. "Who is the dead man?" the sheriff asked. "Hit's up yonder in the woods. Hain't no one teched it. My two boys has been gyardin' it all night to keep the hawgs away." The horses were fed and after the officers had swallowed a cup of the sloppy coffee in the kitchen, they followed Culpepper up a path through the bushes. A crowd came along behind. Up in the stunted woods on a ridge they found the body. The two Culpepper sons sat, one at the head and the other at the feet, each with a lantern. A girl, whose face showed marks of weeping, followed the officers, and when she halted near the body she threw her arms around a small tree and cried, and the tenderness of her weeping told the crowd that these tears were coming straight from her heart. The coroner examined the body. Two pistol shots had gone through the breast. There was no evidence of suicide. No pistol was found. "Well," spoke the sheriff, "go ahead now, Prichard, and tell me all you know of this case." "Well, sheriff, Onas Gray is the man's name. He has been amongst us about nine weeks. He came from over on Ash creek to learn the people of Shumake Ridge to play the fiddle and sing. He seemed a good feller, and was thought a right smart of by ever-body. Befo' he had been here a week him and the girl there by the tree took a liking to one 'tother, and have been goln' together all the time. She lives over yonder across the field with her daddy, and Onas went there all the time. "Onas Gray had some habits that sometimes us folks couldn't understand, but hit was just because we hadn't been around his class of people before. Last night he got up from the supper table, tuck his fiddle and walked up the path. We didn't know where he was goin', as it was a different route from the way to the girl's house. The last we seen of him he was goin' into these woods. "Sometime after dark I heerd two pistol shots, about a second apart, and then I heerd a noise that sounded like somebody runnin' off through the woods—heerd bresh breakin' and leaves rattlin'. Me and the family hurried up hero, and Onas was layin' here, dead, but still warm. We looked for the fiddle but it was gone. I put my two boys here to gyard the body, and went to the store down the road and tellyphoned you." The girl knelt by the body and took a hand and wept over it, moaning, and from her walls came these words, all the while: "Oh, he's gone! He's gone forever! I'll never see him any more. I don't keer to live now 'cause he's gone!" The sheriff and his men spent a day and night looking for clews, but went back to the county seat with none. The body of Gray was dressed in a suit of cheap store clothes and buried in a walnut box over at Cedar Hill. The girl was the chief mourner, for the poor man had no known relative in that section. The strong, pure love of the girl for Gray was evident in many ways. Each day after the burial she strolled over the paths to Cedar Hill and there would sit by the grave until the sun went down. And all the time she "Wy, hits Onas Gray." "Where's the body?" wondered at the deep mystery of his death. But in her mind she could find no one to whom the crime could be laid. A few months sometimes vanishes to a great extent the sorrow from a heart, but with the girl time had but little effect. She sat in the doorway of her home one afternoon and saw dark clouds in the west. She knew it was to be a heavy rain and would run into the grave, as the mound had sunk below the surface of the ground, and she saw the crevices the last time she was there. As night drew nearer, her mind was taken more and more with this fear, and at last she arose, bridled and saddled her horse, and rolling up an oil cloth, galloped toward the graveyard in the distance. Darkness found her at the grave, and it was protected from the slight sprinkle of rain by the oil cloth. The rain shifted around to the south and the girl got on her horse and started towards home. While passing a cabin about two miles from her home she noticed a dance was about to begin. She saw the young men choosing their dancing partners. She saw one of the Culpepper boys take his seat on a box in the corner, with a fiddle in his hand. And when she heard him tune it, she rode closer to the cabin. Before the first piece had been completed the girl's face was white and her heart thumped hard. "So help me Gawd! That's his fiddle! That's his fiddle! Yonder it is. Joe Culpepper has it! Oh, how many times have I heard Onas play that fiddle and even that same piece!" The girl, after listening to the second selection, hitched her horse and crept up to the rear of the cabin. Joe Culpepper sat there and as he saw off the music and called for the sets, the girl placed her face to a large crack in the wall, within half a foot of his ear, and said in a rough voice: "You killed Onas Gray. That's his fiddle." Then she ran through the bushes, mounted her horse and rode home in a lope. The music stopped with a suddenness that brought confusion to the dancers. Joe Culpepper, deathly pale, arose, put the fiddle in its flowered cloth clip, and walked out the door. When about to leave the yard he yelled back: "I am sick, boys. Can't play no more. Got to go." In three days the sheriff came and took Joe Culpepper to the county seat. The trial passed and after the death sentence had been pronounced on him, the sheriff visited the jail. "Joe, why did you do that awful thing?" "I jest wanted his fiddle and knowed no other way to git it." PRECEPT AND PRACTICE. Professor's Illustration of Theory That Mind Is Marvelous Thing. "The mind is a marvelous thing," said Prof. Zachariah Terwillinger to his psychology class, according to the New York Sun. "Let us consider," went on the worthy sage, "the process expressed in the good old homely phrase, 'making up one's mind.' I am on the threshold of an important decision. What I determine to do may have a grave bearing on my future. First I ponder over the matter carefully. I look at it in every aspect, examining it searchingly in all light, from all angles. By the indefinable processes of reasoning I arrive at a certain conclusion. But that is not all. "As a man of discretion, it behooves me to secure counsel. I listen carefully to judgments, noting zealously each person's individual bias. Then I assort and catalogue these outside ointints. "I next step aside psychically and view the array. Having, as I modestly beg to claim, a plastic although notably individual mind, I am able thus to project myself into the personalities of others, and view my own impressions and my own status as they might view them. This, young gentlemen, is an especially valuable exercise. I urge you to cultivate the faculty. "Finally, I give one last, sweeping survey to the whole subject. Then I decided; my mind is made up irrevocably. No stress, no threats could after that decision; no cajolery, no urging could modify it. For there is nothing so valuable as firmness. "This illustration has been taken from actuality. I have come to an ulalterable decision." The students departed much impressed. The professor, with a glow of self-satisfaction, sought his home. Mrs. Terwillinger met him at the door. "Zachariah," she said, "have you made up your mind on that matter?" "Yes, my dear, I have thought it over, and decided to say no." "Really?" There was a touch of irony in the good lady's tone. "Well, I've thought it over, too, and I've decided you must accept. It would be nonsense to—'" Mrs. Terwillinger's aspect was omnious. "Very well, my dear," interjected the professor quickly and meekly. "All right; do not let us have any words. Of course, I shall accept; of course."

The neighbor's young hopeful was very ill, and Willie and the other youngsters in the block had been asked not to make any noise in the streets. The neighbor's bell rang one day and she opened it to find Willie standing bashfully on her front steps. "How is he to-day?" he inquired in a shy whisper. "He's better, thank you, dear, and what a thoughtful child you are to come and ask." Willie stood a moment on one foot and then burst forth again, "I'm orful sorry Jimmy's sick." The mother was profoundly touched. She could find no further words to say, but simply kissed him. Made still bolder by the caress, Willie began to back down the steps, repeating at intervals his sorrow for his playmate's illness. At the bottom step he halted and looked up. "If Jimmy should die," he asked, "kin I have his drum?" FOR SELFISH ENDS. The Efforts Being Made by the American Medical Association. The Political activity of the American Medical Association has become so pronounced as to cause comment in political circles especially as the avowed purpose of the Doctors of the "Regular" or Allopathic school, of which the Association is chiefly composed, is to secure the passage of such laws as will not only prevent the sale of so-called "Patent" medicines, but will restrict the practice of medicine and healing to the "schools" now recognized. This in many states would prevent the growing practice of Osteopathy, and in nearly every state would prevent the healers of the Christian Science and mental science belief from practicing those sciences in which the faith of so many intelligent people is so firmly rooted. The American Medical Association has a "Committee on Legislation," and the committee has correspondents in practically every township—some 16,000 correspondents in all. This committee at the last session of the American Medical Association held in June of this year expressed a hope that a larger number of physicians than heretofore will offer themselves as candidates for Congress at the first opportunity. In its annual report this Committee said: "To meet the growing demands of the movement, however, particularly if the work of active participation in State legislation is undertaken, a larger clerical force must be employed." This is almost the first time in the history of the United States that any organized class has frankly avowed the purpose of capturing legislatures and dominating legislation in their own selfish interests. The American Medical Association has about 65,000 members of whom 27,000 are "fully constituted members" and the rest are members because of their affiliation with state or local societies. The Association owns real estate in Chicago valued at $111,781.91 and its total assets are $291,567.89. Its liabilities, at the time of the annual report which was made at the June meeting, amounted to only $21,906. The excess of assets over liabilities is increasing at the rate of about $30,000 a year, and the purpose of the organization is to dominate the field of medicine, and by crushing all competitions by securing the passage of prohibitive legislation, compa all of the people of the United States to pay a doctor's fee every time the most simple remedy is needed. Deaths from X-Rays. The death of Dr. Weigel, a surgeon of Rochester, from a disease due to the constant use of the X-rays makes the fourth who has lost his life from this cause, says the Christian Advocate. The others were an assistant of Thomas Edison, a Boston physician and a woman of San Francisco named Fleischman. In the case of Dr. Weigel since 1904, when his right hand and all but the thumb and a finger of the left hand were removed, there had been four operations in trying to save his life. The first removed a part of the right shoulder; then a part of the muscles covering the right breast. Mystery completely envelops the cause of death, the disease being unknown to medical science, though it is believed to involve some great principle of life. Dr. Weigel was president of the Rochester Academy of Medicine and the American Orthopaedic society. Bobbin Boys' Wages. John B. Lennon, treasurer of the American Federation of Labor, delivered recently an address on strikes. Turning to the amusing features of the strike question, Mr. Lennon said: "I remember a strike of bobbin boys, a just strike, and one that succeeded. These boys conducted their fight well, even brilliantly. Thus the day they turned out they posted in the spinning room of their employers' mill a great placard inscribed with the words: "The wages of sin is death, but the wages of the bobbin boys is worse." Group of St. Mary's Churches. Group of St. Mary's Churches. There are in London a round dozen churches named after St. Mary, nearly all of them belonging to a single group closely packed together, showing that they all came from the one great parish of Aldermary. COLORADO NEWS ITEMS COLORADO NEWS ITEMS The W. C. T. U. has dedicated the water fountain at Boulder. A land slide blocked the Rio Grande two days near Glenwood Springs. Daniel Drummond, an old-timer in Colorado, recently died at Boulder. Vice President Fairbanks likes Colorado so well he is here again to spend a few weeks. Denver is again making an effort to secure one or both of the big national political conventions. The Elks at Canon City have been fined $300 on the charge of selling liquor at their club house. The Short Line trainmen out of Colorado Springs have been given a 5 per cent. raise in wages. Half a dozen loungers in a Denver saloon were held up recently and made to turn their coin over to a "lone bandit." Wife deserters who come before county commissioners in Pueblo county must work on the county roads as punishment. A Littleton man bought a nice gold-coated brick of lead the other day, for which he paid $500. He is now wondering how he was lead to do it. General William J. Palmer, who entertained the survivors of the "Fighting Fifteenth," at his home in Colorado Springs last week, is the hero of the hour. James McClaire, the insane man for whom search was made, was captured in the hills near Cripple Creek by Sheriff Henry Von Phil and brought back to this city. He will be tried for insanity. By the accidental discharge of a pump shotgun at Fort Collins, Wallace McGowan, a seventeen-year-old lad, had his right leg so badly lacerated that amputation above the knee was necessary. The Clover Leaf dairy, the only dairy in Loveland, goes out of business. This will leave Loveland, a city of 6,000 people, without a milk supply. The stock of the dairy has been sold to Boulder parties and will be moved there. Gustave R. Ohlin of Denver, an active politician and twice candidate for the nomination of state auditor on the Democratic ticket, has been appointed immigration agent of Arizona. His appointment was made by the commissioner of immigration at Washington, and he will begin his duties on September 1st. On Labor day, September 2d, the mayor of Loveland will extend to the visitors to its thirteenth annual corn roast a cordial welcome and a feast. A program of sports and excellent racing has been arranged. Very low rates and special trains via the C. & S from Denver and Greeley, leaving Loveland in the evening, will be provided. The constitutionality of an act of the last Legislature, providing for the payment of salaries of under sheriffs and deputies by the county, will be tested by the county commissioners of Cripple Creek. Notice to this effect was served on the sheriff, and a friendly suit was invited and declined. A majority of the board is Republican. The sheriff and his officers are Democrats. The sheriff has formerly paid his deputies. Col. L. H. Eicholtz of Denver was recently in Greeley as the guest of several pioneers. Thirty-eight years ago he was in charge of a construction gang which built the Denver Pacific and brought into Greeley the first load of colonists, unloading them where only sage brush grew and the buffalo and coyote roamed. He was the owner of the first lot sold in the townsite of Greeley and was amazed at the growth the city has made during the last three decades. The opinion of the leading coal men in Trinidad is that higher coal prices are in immediate probability. Eastern firms have placed larger orders than ever and more miners are needed in nearly ever mine in this district. The shortage of men, together with the delay caused by the Colorado & Southern strike, is making itself felt here and the demand promises soon to be much larger than can be supplied. Employment agencies are scouring the country for men, and several have sent to Italy for recruits. Forty thousand young trout have been placed in the Cloud and Hermit lake, in the Sangre de Cristo range, above West Cliff. These lakes are supplied by the perpetual snow on the Continental divide. The fish are from the Leadville hatchery and were taken to the lake by John Leary and J. C. Stahl, the government range rider. It was a difficult feat to get the young trout to the lakes, for the canads had to be packed on horses for seven miles. This is the first time fish have ever been placed in these waters. Cascade, the prettiest resort in Ute pass, is the scene of a remarkable gathering. More than 300 young women, college girls and those more matronly, are camped on the spot, ready to enjoy an outing that will extend into one month. They represent the Christian associations of woman's colleges of the country and their gathering at Cascade is of national interest. In connection with the outing a convention will be held. President William F. Slocum of Colorado College, is one of those who are on the program to speak. Owing to the dangerous condition of the Sugar Loaf reservoir dam, owned by the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company, Turquoise lake will be drained and a big concrete dam will be built. Several years ago the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company procured a large acreage near Sugar Loaf mountain and built a dam there for the purpose of storing its water for use at the Mirnequa plant at Pueblo. As a result of the erection of the dam a beautiful lake was formed, which is now filled with trout and is one of the pleasure resorts of Leadville. During the present summer the outlet gates have been working badly and several times it was feared that the entire dam would go out. In order to prevent the possibility of such a disaster the company will drain the lake and put in a concrete dam. It is expected that the work of draining the lake will begin in November. PUT IT IN GOOD LIGHT. One Comforting Thought in the Death of the Chickens. A lady who had recently moved to the suburbs was very fond of her first brood of chickens. Going out one afternoon she left the household in charge of her eight-year-old boy. Before her return a thunderstorm came up. The youngster forgot the chicks during the storm, and was dismayed after it passed to find that half of them had been drowned. Though fearing the wrath to come, he thought best to make a clean breast of the calamity, rather than leave it to be discovered. "Mamma," he said, contritely, when his mother had returned, "mamma, six of the chickens are dead." "Dead!" cried his mother. "Six! How did they die?" The boy saw his chance. "I think—I think they died happy," he said.—Harper's Weekly. Punctured His Eloquence. A lawyer in Johnstown, N. Y., while defending a little boy who had been apprehended in the act of making a surreptitious entrance under the fair grounds fence, drew for the jury a most pathetic picture of the prisoner's "poor old widowed mother with the tears streaming down her face and her gray head bowed in sorrow at the thought of her little boy being incarcerated." The youthful offender cut in at this point with "Please, sir, Mr. Lawyer, my mother ain't a widow." "Shut up, darn you," said the lawyer. "I'm trying this case, not you."—Law Notes. 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. An Inherited Tendency. A Cleveland society woman gave a party to nine friends of her young son, aged six. To add to the pleasure of the occasion she had the ices frozen in the form of a hen and ten chickens. Each child was allowed to select his chicken as it was served. Finally she came to the son of a prominent politician. "Which chicky will you have, Bertie?" she asked. "If you please, Mrs. H. I think I'll take the mamma hen," was the polite reply.-Lippincott's. A. Different Loaf. "Why," exclaimed little Johnny, when he heard his father telling about somebody who was looking after the loaves and fishes, "that's just what mamma says about Uncle Henry!" "Says about Uncle Henry?" repeated his father, in astonishment. "What do you mean?" "Why, pa, don't you know," said Johnny, "mamma says Uncle Henry only loafs and fishes." Due Process of Law. At the time of the famous Eastman trial in Cambridge, Mass., two Irishmen, standing on a street corner, were overheard discussing the trial. One of them was trying to enlighten the other concerning a jury. "Bedad!" he explained. "You're aristated. Thin if ye gets th' shmartest lawyer, ye're innicint; but if tu' other man gets th' best lawyer, ye're guilty." — Life. Places of Interest Neglected. Two of the most attractive places for instruction in New York city are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History, yet there are thousands of residents of New York who have never been in them, and more than half of their daily visitors are strangers in the city. BAD DREAMS Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking. One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says: "Formerly I was a slave to coffee. I was like a morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgoblins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchbings from the stomach, indigestion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc. "Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me. I could not bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused to believe it the cause. "But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time for I finally consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the coming el Postum all my troubles have gone and health has returned. I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster coffee." Ten days' trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, refreshing sleep. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pgs. Some physicians call it "a little health classic." WHAT THE WOMEN WORE. Of Course the Story Teller Didn't Really Mean Just That. A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has a tale to tell of conditions that are really sensational. And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all. He was out calling the other evening, and the conversation started with the shirtwaist man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to be found in great quantities at the summer resort. Then he told about the habit everybody down there had contracted of going without hats. This is the way he told it to an interested company: "You see everybody down there going about just the same. The men never wear coats; they go about in just their shirts and trousers, and the women are just like them." VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. Suffered Three Years—Physicians Did No Good—Perfectly Well After Using Cuticura Remedies. "I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am perfectly well, the disease having left me entirely. I cannot recommend the Cuticura Remedies too highly to anyone suffering with the disease that I have had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, III., October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S. Berger." Nature's Gift Wasted. A Scotchman who recently took the street car trip on the gorge route, the New York side of Niagara river, was much disgusted with the hawkers of views and "Teddy bears," who make the afternoon hideous and do their best to spoil nature's grandeur. As he alighted from the car he looked angrily at the shouting venders and then at the Whirlpool rapids. "What's the use of having a big river like that," he asked, "if you don't drown those fellows in it?" Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. No Peace Conference. "Are you going to strike, ma?" asked the little boy, as he tremblingly gazed upon the uplifted shingle. "That's just what I'm going to do." "Can't we arbitrate, ma, before you strike?" "I am just going to arbitrate," she said, as the shingle descended and raised a cloud of dust from the seat of a pair of pantaloons—"I am just going to arbitrate, my son, and this shingle is the board of arbitration." Peculiar Medical Remedy. It was stated at an inquest on a peasant in a Servian village that the man died from swallowing too many bullets, which he was accustomed to take, in common with all the peasants in that district whenever he felt ill.

A noted English artist was standing at the edge of the road, waiting for his horse, and he was dressed in his usual peculiar style—mustard-colored riding suit, vivid waistcoat and bright red tie. A man, who had evidently been reveling, happened to lurch round the corner of the street. He stared at the famous artist for a minute in silence, then he touched his cap and asked in a tone of deep commiseration, "Beg pardon, guv'nor, was you in mournin' for anybody?" Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the mark* 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Deflance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands.

The mushroom hat is of violet straw with a violet silk bow at the left side and a bunch of violet panies at the right. The other sketch shows a frock of striped pique with trimmings of cotton cords and a vest and under sleeves of embroidered lawn.

To join flounce on to upper, divide it first into halvés, then quarters; do the same with the skirt, and then pin quarter to quarter, drawing the gathering threads up and twisting them round the pins when the material is drawn the requisite length between each, thus regulating the fullness evenly. Tack on carefully, and then machine on to wrong side of skirt, after which press. Finish off the ends of the V trimming of lace neatly, so Dress of Flowered Cotton Volle. that they do not look unsightly when the loose overskirt blows back. We now come to the fashioning of the bodice. This has a seamless back and full fronts, both gathered into a narrow "American" yoke—viz. one cut all in one piece. The lining of the bodice is a fitting one, and must have blinding "pockets" run up the side seams, and darts for the bones to be put into; these can then easily be drawn out when the dress requires cleaning or washing. Two long crossway pieces of the volle, some 18 inches in width, make the fichu-like bretelles that drape the shoulders; these two pieces are joined together down the back, coming into a sharp point at the waist and forming a V between the shoulders, which is filled up with gathered spotted muslin after the manner of the vest in front. Bodice and fichu are caught together half way down the fronts, and nearly the whole length down the side, by slip-stitching under the inch-wide hem that balances the velvet trimmings of the front. A lace collar is laid on just under the third band of bebe velvet, and can either be carried round the back, concealing the point of the V, or a lace motif can be made. The sleeves are small puffs over a fitting lining, and with turn-back cuffs of the volle interlined with muslin, trimmed with rows of velvet. The under sleeves correspond with the vest. For a woman of medium height, nine and a half yards of 42-inch material would fashion the costume, while five yards of lace and about a couple of dozen yards of bebe ribbon velvet would suffice for the trimming. AN more distinctive possibilities of the coat and skirt as adapted to the differing requirements of the "sweet seventeen" ingenuue be imagined than that which is herewith sketched for you? The costume is of biscuit colored tweed faintly checked, and introducing near the hem of the trimly-hanging walking skirt a band of pale blue cloth, headed with deeply C scalloped silken braid matching the tweed in tone. On the charming coatee the blue cloth and the braid also figure effectively, and there is, too, a waistcoat of the soft blue, fastening in a series of scallops, and all edged with narrow black and white braid, and a tiny ruffling of lace, the buttons, too, being in blue and black and white rimmed round with gold. Every detail is, indeed, worth studying, and then the hat, too, is charming, simply and smartly trimmed as it is with groups of white wings. The cotton volles have come to rival printed chiffons in the delicacy of their colorings and beauty of pattern and are essentially a fabric for festive attire, and their cost being so little they appeal to the home dressmaker as particularly suited to the creation of an economical yet apparently costly costume. Our illustration demonstrates the possibilities of this cloth. It will be noted that the trimmings are arranged in the simplest manner, and the method of putting them on will be here explained in due course. We will proceed now with the cutting out: The skirt pattern consists of one-half of the top of the underskirt, one-half of the flounce, and half of the overskirt. This last-named is cut practically on the same principle as the underskirt, only with the front edge to the selvedge and the bias seam at the back, whereas the underskirt has the front and back seams both slightly on the bias, the latter more so than the former, but neither so much so as is the central back seam of the overskirt. The full flounce in its turn demands that the overskirt shall be heavily gored so as to get plenty of width at the hem and thus fall easily in with the folds of the flounce. For the back seam of skirt place a length of Prussian binding along the seam when tacking the two parts together; machine one edge of this in, when doing the seam; afterwards fell the other edge down over the raw edges of the seam, and thus neaten and strengthen it all at the same time. The binding should match the color of the volle, and if it is impossible to get this, a length of sarcee or narrow glace ribbon will be nearly as serviceable and possibly easier to obtain. The back seam of the overskirt should be what is called a "French" seam—that is, it should first be stitched with the raw edges facing the right side of the material, then this should be folded face to face and another seam tacked, of a depth sufficient to enclose the narrow turns of the first one. The flounce has two rows of gath- $11,500 of the Frisco Strike COUNTERMANDED SHOES They were made to sell at $3.50, $4 and $5 You Know Our Price For Men $2.

Was Never Beaten, Never Whipped, and Never Felt Distressed—His Record One of Victory from Beginning to End. What horse has proved itself the greatest racer in the history of the world? Most experts would undoubtedly at once answer "Eclipse!" says the Montreal Standard. The great son of Marske and Spiletta was foaled at Cranbourne Lodge, England, in 1764. The duke of Cumberland was his breeder, and he was purchased when a yearling by a meat salesman named Wildman. He was an ugly-headed legy colt, thick in the wind, of violent temper, and unmanageable spirit. The method of his training would startle the careful owners of to-day. "He was sent for some time to a rough rider named George Elter, or Elters," says Mr. Cook, in his recent review of Eclipse's wonderful victories, "who almost worked him to death by riding him about all day, and sometimes kept him out all night on poaching expeditions." This treatment, which would have killed most thoroughbreds, added strength and muscle to Eclipse. And when in 1769 he began to race his strength and spirit were unimpaired. "Jack Oakley, who rode in nearly all his races," Mr. Cook tells us, "never attempted to hold him, but sat quietly in his saddle and let him go as he pleased, with the result that he cut down his field at the start that he cut down his field at; for the farther he went the more he seemed to enjoy himself, so that he must have had a combination of speed, stride, endurance and weight-carrying ability over a distance which can never have been surpassed in the history of the horse before or since." In one sense Eclipse's great qualities were a disadvantage to him. So far superior was he to all competitors that the betting was generally 100 to 1 on him, and he was early withdrawn from racing because no one would enter a horse against him. The one and only horse that ever pressed him was Bucephalus, whose constitution was irreparably ruined by the contest. Never was there such a career! A record of victory from beginning to end, and victory won with consumate and contemptuous ease. "Eclipse," says Mr. Lawrence, "was never beaten, never had a whip flourished over him, or felt the tickling of a spur, or was ever for a moment distressed, outfooting, outstirding and outlasting every horse which started against him." O'Kelly, the owner, whose name is always linked with the name of Eclipse, bought the famous horse of Wildman after his first race. He must have had a strong faith both in the horse and in his own judgment. He gave 1,750 guineas for him—at that time an exceedingly high price—and was abundantly justified by the result. Eclipse stood at stud at Clay Hill and brought his owner £25,000 in fees. In 23 years there were numbered among his descendants 344 winners, with a total in stakes to their credit of more than £158,000. And the blood of Eclipse is still the aristocracy of the turf. His name has passed into a proverb: "Eclipse first and the rest nowhere!" It was after the first heat of Eclipse's first race that O'Kelly made his memorable bet. "Desirous of adding to his gains," writes Mr. Cook, "and being perfectly confident that this great horse could race as well as he could gallop, he made a heavy wager (which was naturally taken up with considerable eagerness) that he would place all the horses in the second heat. When asked to name their order he pronounced the famous sentence: 'Eclipse first and the rest nowhere,' as he was sure that all the other horses would be 'distanced' (i. e. beaten by more than 200 yards), and therefore would not be placed by the judges." He won his bet and assured for his horse the eternal celebrity which only a proverb can confer. Imitation Blizzard at Home. "If you want to get a cheap imitation of a Kansas blizzard here in New York," said the western woman, "take half a dozen small ears of green corn, put them in a kettle and shut down the lid. Then let the water boil and boil. "Pretty soon that lid will begin to rise gently up and down and the water and the corn and I don't know what else will go to moaning and sighing and sobbing so like the fierce north wind coming at the rate of 60 miles an hour across the miles and miles of frozen prairie that you forget the thermometer has risen to somewhere near the boiling point, and go in and crawl under the blankets to try and get warm again."—N. Y. Press. Extra Good. "We got fine filtered water in our office," said one of two office boys who were comparing notes on a downtown corner. "Pooch! That's nothin'," replied the other, "We've got this here lithiagraph water in ours."—Kansas City Times. The International Marriage. "The American girl, who could possibly find her wanting?" "Why, possibly a jury of her peers might."
