The Republican Party and the Negro. The Party of Grant, Logan and Sumner Stood for Equality of Citizenship. The Crowning Glory of the Administration as the War Secretary Sees it. Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. In the course of his Lexington speech, Secretary Taft uttered some very wholesome truths with a directness and absence of equivocation which is seldom shown in the public utterances of political leaders of either faith. He spoke without reserve on the race question and acknowledged the delicacy of his position or that of any Northern man who discusses the question before a Southern audience. There can be no doubt of the accuracy of these reflections, but such conditions are not or should not be a surprise to any one who has observed the general trend of the after-dinner and other efforts of Northern men of position and influence, who have for one reason or another gone into the South land since reconstruction. These efforts have seemed to tend in but one direction, and that is, to so conciliate Bourbon sentiment as to make possible the gradual disintegration of the solid South, and the building up of a sentiment of cordiality and mutual interest to supersede the passionate hatred and animosities which followed in the footsteps of the Civil war. In the accomplishment of this purpose, the Negro has been persistently and insistently put forward as the "buffer," at whom all blows were aimed from either side, but who was incapable of either retaliation or defense. The burden of these speeches has been—the South dobtless understands this matter best and the South should be allowed to adjust it. Not one of those uttering this sentiment, but who fully understood that if the thing he really advocated were realized, the Negro would be relegated to a position but little removed from that of the days when he hailed every white man as master, and was sold and beat and driven as though of a kin with the lower orders of creation. It mattered not and it matters not, except in the fulsome flow of rounded periods, which sound well and gain for the speaker a certain need of consideration at an opportune time, whether the effects upon the fortunes of the Negro are beneficial or sinister—the great and overshadowing aim is the benefit and success of Party VOL. XIII. in state and national issues, all else can be easily sacrificed. The great moral question of right and justice to all and each, as citizens of the Republic seems to have no effectual standing with the influences which suggest, guide and control the policies of state. The all-powerful test of expediency is applied to all questions and if the right implies a reversal of precedent,—why then the wrong stands and must continue so to stand. That this is so is the wonder of citizens of other countries and forms the darkest blot on the fair name and fame of our great government. Mr. Taft took it to be "the crowning glory of the administration if under Mr. Roosevelt, some of the Southern states, including Kentucky could be led into the Republican column." Now in all truth, if this should happen, what in reality would be accomplished? The old-line Republican party, the party of Grant, Logan and Sumner was firmly planted on the fullest equality of privilege and citizenship and while the tendency in this latter day has been to wander far from this wholesome ideal and to bow down to the stange gods of prejudice and class, the great principles of the party are rock-riven and must ever remain the same. To the devious ways of politics all things are possible. The vote of a Southern state may be coralled and the Republican party flattened into the belief that its splendid traditions are responsible for a wonderful conversion. But what real benefit would accrue? Would Kentucky, Georgia or South Carolina be any less the enemy of Negro elevation and progress because of such political apostasy? These states and there are others, do not and never will subscribe to such liberality of sentiment. The most earnest advocate of this policy of political transformation has never dreamed of its possibility. The era of miracles was closed more than 1900 years ago and only the passing of centuries, with its consequent softening, humanizing and evangelizing tendencies may supply an influence sufficiently corrective to accomplish an equi- table association of the races in the southland. Such association, such impulses in a word, such emphatic equality of citizenship is distinctly a fundamental principal of Republicanism. Failing to subscribe to these principles, how in all candor would true Republicanism be strengthened and its purposes advanced. Senator Tillman recently said "The only way to improve conditions is to repeal the 15th Amendments. Mr. Taft is equally emphatic in the position that no such action is necessary or desirable. He talked eloquently of America as the only home of the Negro; of his respect for and unflinching support of the flag and of the right of disfranchisement when equally applied to all. Each of these statements is admittedly just and true, yet as regards the latter, we might with regard for truth submit a converse proposition: viz. Disfranchisement is wrong because never equally applied. It was the principle of actual and tangible right to which the old line Republicans pinned their faith. There is a very great difference in a principle which is only possibly and constructively right and which more frequently is prostituted to the service of wrong and injustice. JOHN H. PAYNTER. How do Yon Stand With Yourself? A man might fool the public; he might fool his friends; he might fool his family. But he can't fool himself. He has to live with himself 24 hours every day in the year. He can't get away from himself. And no matter what people think he is no matter how successful he may be in may be in making people believe he is something that he isn't, he, himself, will always know just what he really is. Some men know this. Some of them think of it. Some of them are just selfish enough to want to think well of themselves, and to know that they deserve the respect of others. And they so conduct themselves toward their fellow men that they can thoroughly enjoy self-respect. That is enlightened selfishness. And it is the kind of selfishness that the world can stand. For it makes men good because they want to be good and enjoy being good. And that beats being good because some law says you must be good, and threatens you with punishment if you are not. The hypocrite can't be really happy. People may think he is. They may think he is all he pretends to be. He may lead in prayers, say grace before meals, pose as a pious Christian and still rob and cheat his fellows. And he 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. (Codtimued from last week) After alluding to the President's stand in the appointment of Dr. Crum, the matter of the Indianola post office, and the Booker Washington incident, Prof. Miller says: "But it must be said that these evidences of friendship and good will have not been systematic and sustained, nor followed up to their logical conclusion. Roosevelt never surrenders, but often seems to evacuate his stronghold as soon as he has demonstrated the enemy's inability to capture it. In the final estimate of history, if his reputation falls short of superlative greatness, it will be because he lacks consecutiveness and persistence of purpose and policy. He is not permanently wedded to any one question as the dominant note of his career. He suddenly takes up a measure, settles it, and drops it, and goes in quest of issues new. And so in dealing with the Negro. His scheme of selecting referees with whom to consult on political dealings in the South is something new under the political sun. "Dr. Bocker T. Washington has been chosen as referee at large and as the sole spokesman for the entire Negro race. His selection was not due to his political activity or experience, for the whole tenor of his teaching has been to persuade his race to place less proportional stress on politics and concentrate its engergies upon things economical and material. But by reason of his general prominence and the world-wide esteem he was put in command of political forces, to the relegation of war-scarred veterans who had borne the heat and burden of the day. Othello naturally objects to his loss of occupation. Most of them have yeiled, but only after they learned that the only road to official favor was the straight and narrow path that leads to Tuskegee. "Should succeeding administrations follow Mr. Roosevelt's example in this regard, the Negro would may keep on fooling his fellow churchmen. But he can't fool himself. And he can't fool Gcd. When he gets through with his day's work of fooling other men in the marts of trade, and then gets through fooling his neighbors at church, he still has to deal with himself. And when he goes to bed he knows, if anybody else does. remain in perpetual thraldom to an intermediary boss set up at the whim or caprice of whoever happens to be President. "Strangely enough, one of the most significant moves of the President affecting the political life of the Negro has almost or wholly escaped attention. He has shifted the center of gravity from the South to the North. Hitherto the important Federal places accorded the Negro have gone to persons below the Mason and Dixon line. It would seem from present tendency that there are to be no more new Negro appointees in the South, but merely a continuance in office of those officials against whom local Democratic protest is not too loud and boisterous. In a few years there will not be a Negro Federal official South of the Mason and Dixon line. The chief irritating issue between the President and the Negro race is the outcome of a most deplorable incident. A Negro battalion was quartered in an obscure town on the remote frontier of Texas. One dark night shooting was done in the streets, resulting in the death of a barkeeper and the wounding of an officer of the law. The alarm was sounded that the Negro soldiers have 'shot up the town.' "A flood of righteous indignation welled up without him at this outrage upon the national arm. He would teach the wrong doers a lesson which would never be forgotten. The color of the offenders, he stoutly avers, neither migrated nor magnified the character of the offense in his mind. The discipline of the army must be upheld. It is easy to believe that the President's conduct at this stage was not based upon consideration of color. He is himself of a military mold of mind. In military matters, as elsewhere, he is a law unto himself, and has little reverence for those above, around, that he is going to sleep with a thief, a robber and a hypocrite. And he knows that all the ingenuity of hell can't separate him from that thief, robber and hypocrite during the remainder of his natural life. How do you stand with yourself? —Daily Express. NO. 50. or beneath him. He shatters a military idol with us little hesitancy as he would reprimand a common soldier. Did he not criticise and discredit the sagacity of his own commanding general with a little round robin? The man who spoke disparagingly of the troops who saved his life on the battle field, who unceremoniously reprimanded Gen. Miles, the gallant head of the army and hero of many battles, who imputed cowardice to Admiral Schley, our only naval hero who triumphed with modern guns over modern arms, might naturally be supposed to act vigorously in a case of reported wrong doers at Brownsville. Then came Senator Foraker, like a gallant knight of old and stepped into the arena as the champion of the helpless and overborne. The voice of 10,000,000 Americans unheard and unheeded in the conduct of the nation's affairs, found expression in this eloquent and fearless Ohioan. The country and the Senate sided with Mr. Foraker although by the nice amenities of legislative verbiage they refrained from wounding the Presidential pride. "The President became incensed at the persistent attitude of the colored race and in several special messages reiterated his innuendoes with redoubled vim and emphasis. Senator Foraker became the principal object of his wrath. It was rumored that at a social function, where secrecy was imposed upon all present, a personal colloquy between the two was sharp and bitter. All of this served to make Senator Foraker the hero and idol of the Negro heart. Roosevelt lost what Foraker gained. The Ohio Senator is the only commanding statesman of our day who has risked his political career on an issue involving the Negro's cause. Whatever may be the immediate outcome of the issue, he has, and will have, his reward, for one who devotes his powers to the defense of the helpless will fail to receive the highest meed of praise when the ransor and heat of the conflict have passed away. "This affair has shaken the prestige of the President as has no other occurrence in his public career. It gives him no end of keen concern. There is every reason to believe that he could wish the deed undone. He has sought to conciliate the Negro with the banishment of office, but to no avail. With the double view of disconcerting Foraker and reconciling the colored brother, at the psychological moment, when the Ohio Senator was booked to make a strategic move in the Brownsville affair. announcement was made of the intention to appoint a colored citizen to the leading Federal office in the Senator's own State and home city.

SENATOR RANDALL IS KILLED. Was Probably Accidentally Shot, But No One Knows. Rocky Ford, Colo.—William N. Randall, senator from Otero county to the State Legislature from 1894 to 1896, who has been prominent in Colorado's public affairs for the last fifteen years and who has held city offices here, was shot and killed, probably accidentally, in his room at his home here shortly after 6 o'clock, evening of September 4th. The report of the revolver was heard by Harry Maxwell and other neighbors, who rushed over to the Randall home and glancing through the window saw the senator lying on the floor with blood pouring from a wound through his heart. They immediately entered, but when they reached his side life seemed extinct, death apparently having resulted instantly. Dr. Sigman was summoned, but could do nothing for him. Mr. Randall, who had been at the Arkansas Valley Fair during the day, had just returned home and was evidently packing his grip preparatory to leaving to-morrow evening for Willmantic, Connecticut, to join his family, who have been in that state since April, and there spend the winter with them. He had walked from the fair grounds with the wife of his brother, G. P. Randall, helping her push a baby cab. Reaching the street near his home he remarked to her that he guessed he would go over home a little while and write a letter to his wife, telling her that he would leave for the East soon. After the tragedy the letter was found on the table, where he had evidently left it when he began packing his effects. That the shooting was an accident there seems to be little doubt, as the revolver was lying on the floor near his side, and there is no theory that he could have taken his own life, as he is known to have been in good financial circumstances, and the letter to his wife contained only pleasant anticipations of soon seeing her, the children, and his parents. It is believed that while he was placing his revolver in the grip it was accidentally discharged. The muzzle must have been close to his body, as his coat was badly scorched and the flesh was powder burned. He was a member of the Colorado Legislature for two years, from 1894 to 1896, being elected on the Republican ticket, he being at that time a Free Silver Republican. He served only one term and was succeeded by Senator J. H. Crowley. Will Erect $50,000 School. Denver.—Work will be started within the next three weeks on the main building of the St. Thomas Theological Seminary in Coronado heights. The structure will be erected at a cost of $50,000. Articles of incorporation of the Seminary Association were filed this morning. The site was bought a year ago, excavating completed and artesian well sunk. The seminary is founded for education of priests in the diocese of Colorado, but will be open to all young men throughout the country. At a meeting last night Dr. T. S. Levan of Perryville, Missouri, was elected president of the association and the seminary. Other members of the board of trustees elected were Rev. T. Finney, president of the Catholic Congregation of the Mission in the West; Rev. W. H. Susson, Perryville, Missouri; Rev. F. D. Hueber, St. Louis; Rev. J. J. Martin of St. Francis de Sales Church, Denver. Flour Mill Destroyed by Fire. Boulder, Color—A fire, the origin of which is not known, totally destroyed the Broomfield mill and contents at Broomfield, causing a loss of $10,000, which is partially insured. There were carloads of wheat in the mill and five tons of breakfast food. The fire communicated to a car loaded with wheat on the C. & S. sliding, which was also burned. There was a night watchman sleeping in the office of a building about 100 yards from the mill. He did not know of the fire for about one-half hour, when he was awakened by the bright light from the burning building shining into the window. At this time the building was so far gone that no assistance could be offered. Ore Worth $100,000 Ton. Cripple Creek.—Ore running as high as $100,000 in gold to the ton was opened on the Old Gold property, adjoining the Henry Adney, on Beacon hill. The strike was made by Parlin and associates at a depth of 300 feet and at a point sixty feet west of the shaft. The high grade mineral is found in an eight-inch streak of almost solid sylvanite lying near the center of a two-foot vein. On either side of the seam the ore returns from two to four ounces. The find was made in what is thought to be the extension of the old C., K. & N. vein, from which Taylor and associates made fortunes several years ago. Leadville Has a Stick-up. Leadville, Colo.—John Vergeson, who runs a saloon at 328 East Fifth street, was held up by two masked men, shot, and robbed of $15. The bullet entered the muscles of Vergeson's breast. He was so badly scared that he could not give any account of the affair, saying that all he knew was that the two masked men entered his saloon and told him to hold up his hands. He did not notify the police until next morning at 9 o'clock, when he regained his composure and came to the conclusion that it would be a good thing for the officers to know of it. Vergeson is in the hospital, but his condition is not considered critical. Burned to Death Like Joan of Arc. Ottawa, Ont.—Imagining that the Lord had commanded her to share the fate of Joan of Arc, Mrs. Joseph La Londe of St. Lazare, a small French-Canadian village, burned herself to death on a funeral pyre of her own making. While her relatives were at high mass she built a pyre of fence logs and tree branches, undressed herself entirely and climbed onto the pyre, to which she set fire.

In other parts Uncle Joe Cannon is getting the glad hand, and Governor Hughes of New York is being quietly ticked off with wireless messages, all to the same effect and with equal assurance. Then Mr. Bryan has not been entirely left out in the cold with this heart-warming process. It don't require much political sagacity to pick a "next president of the United States" by the evaporated air atmosphere method. THE WAR IN MOROCCO. FRANCE has let loose the dogs of war in Africa. Morocco is the native home of the Moors, and, according to every natural right, belongs to them. But France, on account of certain past political conditions and military operations, claims a protectorate or suzerainty, or some other preposterous theoretical authority over the country, and this authority comes within the rules or customs under which the white nations of the earth, otherwise termed "civilization," usurp and parcel out among themselves the land which God gave to Shem and to Ham and their descendants. The Moors are called barbarians in this day, and in fact they are not in close touch with "civilization," but follow a life and religion of their own, adopted in the world's younger days, and they cling to traditions which in that younger day made their civilization and their power the wonder of the world. But now a newer civilization wants to look into, control and exploit their country. They must open up their country to the residence and the trade of those whose civilization and religion authorizes them to dominate the earth, and France has undertaken to negotiate the transformation. Trouble has been brewing for a long time, for the people of Morocco are ruled by ancient religious beliefs and priestly representatives quite as much as by civil governors and their central potentate, the Sultan. "Civilization" has worked on the Sultan of Morocco and, to a degree, compromised his civil authority, without calculating properly upon the religious tendencies and power of the people. So when France, upon agreement with Spain and the other powers, adopted a program by which military police were to exercise definite control over certain sections of Morocco, the natives, regardless of the Sultan and the civil authorities, began to rise up against this foreign invasion and proclaimed a new Sultan in sympathy with their traditions. There has been savage fighting at Casablanca, one of the coast cities. The Moors are acknowledged to be among the world's greatest fighters. But they are not up in modern warfare and probably have no artillery. Their daring, their cunning, their desperation, their total indifference to death—these are some of the natural forces which France, with her splendid, modernly equipped soldiery, will undertake to subdue. France must succeed at whatever cost, but the cost will be great. And it is doubtful that these black warriors will be ever entirely subdued and reconciled. For they are not savages, though called barbarians. They are nothing like our Filipinos, nothing like the Chinese, nothing like the Egyptians, nothing like the simple people of India, all of whom bowed to the independent or allied forces of "civilization." They are an unknown quantity, and though their country is small and their population not to be compared with that of France, we doubt that civilization would count it worthy and justifiable to pay the cost that doubtless would become necessary to fully and permanently subjugate the Moors, who never yet, in all history, bowed in servile fear to any master or rested quietly under any voke. SECRETARY TAFT'S RACE VIEWS. IN the discussion of presidential candidates it is our intention to be unprejudiced and absolutely fair. But the Negro's interests as a citizen are influenced so much by the personal ideas and convictions of the President of the United States that we feel it our duty to scrutinize and dissect those ideas with the utmost care, especially when their public utterance sets them out in the light of a policy which will undoubtedly be followed in official acts. In his speech at Lexington, Kentucky, on August 22nd, Secretary Taft expressed the belief that many Kentuckians who favored a protective tariff had blindly voted the Democratic ticket because of their feeling on the race issue. Then taking up the race question, among other things he said: "I am not a pessimist with respect to the race question. I am convinced that it is working itself out, and I am convinced that nothing has so much contributed to its gradual solution as the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments." But he also said: "The South has permitted the shadows of an issue that circumstances ought long ago to have removed from political controversy, to bind its solidity to the Democratic party, no matter what principles or candidates that party has adopted; and one single issue has made it the perpetual tail of the Democratic party, so that however small the kite is, the North end of it wages the tail." By those whose interests are least affected, this can be regarded as very reasonable talk. To those who have noted Secretary Taft's speeches in the past, it will at once appear to be characteristic of the man. It is not radical Republican talk; it is the talk of the new school; it is the adroit elaboration of the plan to destroy the Democratic party by adopting it into the Republican party. In short, it is not a discussion of the race question at all, but a plea to remove the race question from "political controversy," because of the long past settlement of its fundamentals and the absence of any need to continue it as a political issue. There are no conditions affecting the Negro at present which ought to cause political differences between white men, North or South, according to Secretary Taft. This is the final logic of his argument. There is no sentimental interest in his political creed, and he would not need, and perhaps would object to, any such expression of interest in the next national Republican platform. The concrete meaning of this is that the Republican party in the South might be controlled by white men just as well as they control the Democratic party, if they would drop the race issue. The elimination of the Negro from politics would probably then be more complete than it is at present. Whatever fear this may arouse in the Negro mind, we may as well confess that we believe that American public sentiment is trending in that direction, and that the new school ideas of President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are largely responsible for it. Eight years have passed since the old time, soul-stirring fervor of radical Republicanism, with its broad sentiment of equal racial opportunity, has had popular sway. There are those who still believe in it, like Unele Joe Cannon of Illinois and Senator Foraker of Ohio, but it will require the decision of the next national Republican convention to demonstrate whether the traditions of the Republican party are to be maintained or surrendered. Spread of Truth and Justice Will Stop War By REV. E. S. ROBERTS, Master of Gonville and Caius College and Vice Chancellor University of Cambridge, England. DUCATION, in a broader and deeper sense than ever before, is the real problem for the twentieth century. It is not merely the teaching of a few facts or a few languages, it is the education of the classes and the masses at the same time. It must be an education that means development of character, broadening and enlightening at the same time. E True education inevitably abhors all narrow distinctions of any sort. It works toward broader and more universal aims. The truly cultured man is at home all the world over and is interested in the progress of man as man. The task, then, is one of education, not merely of the people of a single nation, but of all the nations, and not of the nations separately, but of the leading thinkers of these nations together. The mutual interchange of professors and students between the several civilized nations must not be spasmodic and occasional, but systematic and general. And, more than this, it must be an education of character, so that the lines of demarcation between the different countries will be geographic but not intellectual. The boundaries of the mind are above and beyond mountain ranges, rivers, even oceans. These must be overlaped and set aside by the intellectual sympathy of the scholars of all nations, who in their turn will plant the same seed in the minds and hearts of the masses of the peoples. National jealousy will be put aside, the interest of one nation will be recognized as the interest of all, and the basis of perpetual peace will be laid past any power of chicanery to upset. Personal ambitions and petty desire for national aggrandizement must fall to the ground before the power of general culture and the universal recognition of truth and justice as the only real arbiters between the peoples of the earth. This is the solution of the problem of the twentieth century. Art of Scandal-Mongery By MRS. HARRY S. ABBOT. A word of scandal makes the whole drawing-room kin. However disagreeable the implication of that paraphrase, and notwithstanding the smug assumption of indignation with which we must Art of Scandal-Mongery By MR5. HARRY S. ABBOT. A word of scandal makes the whole drawing-room kin. However disagreeable the implication of that paraphrase, and notwithstanding the smug assumption of indignation with which we must needs one and all rush to protest against the charge, or at least repudiate any possibility of the shoe's fitting our own equitable selves, nevertheless the fact remains, staring us in the face, willy-nilly, that the real cohesive principle of society—society in its restricted, vernacular meaning—is to-day, as it has always been, scandal. To say that scandal does not run rife in "our best society" is but idle talk. And it is likewise idle for society people to disclaim any complicity in scandal-mongery. It is all very well to impute the manufacture and circulation of scandal solely to the rapacity of the blackmailing publications and to the individual iniquities of their proprietors and correspondents. The fact remains that scandal and the making thereof is to-day, as always, the life-force of so-called social life, whether the gyrations of that life be performed in the servants' hall or in the drawing-rooms of the elect. But it is not with abstract scandal that we have to wrestle; it is with the concrete, common garden variety, such as grows like a bad weed, sooner or later, where two or more people whom we know personally, or whom a friend of a friend of ours knows, congregate together in a set, a clique, a contingent or a society—call it what you will. It is when the breath of scandal blows upon our friend or our neighbor, upon our clergyman, or our cook, upon the woman who models our gowns or our dearest enemy with whom we exchange grimaces and play bridge—when, in short, it blows upon some one within our own social orbit, however indifferent that some one may have heretofore appeared, we must needs bend the ear to hear, and hearing, pass the evil word along. And right here, in this manner of passing it along, does the fine art of scandal-mongery consist. It is not too much to say that one of the very hall marks of social preeminence to-day is the ability to listen to a piece of scandal with just enough, but not too evident display of interest, to add one's own contribution to the mess, not too much and not too little, and always exercising the artistic principle of restraint, and then to toss it along as lightly and as gracefully, and one might almost say as harmlessly, as a tennis ball. For such indeed, does scandal-mongery seem when it has been reduced to the principles of a fine art—harmless. And for that very reason, perhaps because it seems so light and so graceful and so very harmless, the fine art of scandal-mongery is the deadliest of all arts, so who will doubt who has followed the tragic fortunes of its great modern victim, Lily Bart, late tenant of "The House of Mirth." The English girl is brought up to play and to sing and to paint, while the American girls in society, the daughters of the affluent, are brought up to observe rather than to do those things. An American The English girl is brought up to play and to sing and to paint, while the American girls in society, the daughters of the affluent, are brought up to observe rather than to do those things. An American girl says: "Oh, I dislike amateur playing and painting; there are so many people who do those things well, and why not hear people sing and play who are professionals, and who can make music worth while?" I have often heard your girls express themselves that way, and no doubt the professionally paid artists who entertain the guests at American social functions are better to hear than the guests. On the other hand, I contend that we have a better system of bringing up our girls, for if a girl only plays or paints indifferently well she has a better understanding of these things and is better able to judge than the girl who only hears professionals, and who has no technical knowledge of these things. Another advantage is that in the event of any financial misfortune we can put those accomplishments to some practical use, as I have done with my miniature painting, for instance. Why, whatever in the world should I have done when I found myself practically woutout any money at all, if I had not had my music or my painting? American girls, instead, must go into office work, become typewriters, clerks, etc., which is so much harder and so much less pleasant a way of earning a living. ate civil patriot, whose every impulse beats in sympathetic resonance with the welfare and betterment of the nation who had stood firmly by the Negro at Charleston and Indianola, and who had proclaimed to the race the gospel of a 'square deal' and an open door, is placed as chief among those who breathe out hatred and slaughter against the Negro with every vital breath. It is the law of human passion that friendship which lapse, begets the bitterest hate. The good deeds are forgotten; the hurtful act rankles in the soul. A deliberate and candid judgment would declare this attitude unjust; but it would be equally uncandid to deny that it is real." move seemed to embarrass the President's own friends, including his son-in-law, as much as it did the offending Senator, it was abandoned.

He joined a Canadian Pacific train about twenty miles from Manitoba and having been roughing it fairly hard the duke, as he sank into a seat beside a fine young lady from Boston, looked as begrimed and weather-beaten a trapper as ever brought his pettries into the settlement. "Don't you find a too utterly passionate sympathy with nature's most incarnate aspiration among the sky-topping mountains and the dim alses of the horizon-touching forests, my good man." said the soulful lady, after an interval. "Oh, yes, yes," replied the apparent backwoodsman, "and I also am frequently drawn into an exaltation of rapt blissfulness and beatific incandescent infinity of abstract contiguity when my horse stumbles." "Indeed," said the Boston maiden. "I had no idea the lower classes ever felt like that."—London Answers. Carelessness About Firearms A few days ago at Brockton, Mass., a 6-year-old child blew a man's head off with a shotgun; at Bangor, Me., a small boy killed his infant sister with a load of shot, and similar occurrences have recently been reported from other places. Ninety-nine per cent of gun accidents might have been avoided by the exercise of a small symptom of common sense. The children referred to in the dispatches found the guns in their homes and the guns were loaded. To keep a loaded gun in the house is next to criminal carelessness. To keep a loaded gun in the house where there are children is "4toe—Washington State." QUEER CRADLES. What Children Are Rocked In—Just as Happy. When a baby is born in Guinea all sorts of funny things happen to it. Its mother buries it in the sand up to its waist, so it cannot get into bad mischief, and this is the only cradle it knows anything about. The little Lapp infant is cradled in a shoe—his mother's. This is a big affair covered with skin and stuffed with soft moss. This can be hung on a tree or covered up with snow while mamma goes to church or any place where babies are not invited. The baby of India rides in a basket which hangs from its mother's head or from her hip, or in a hammock. In some parts the baby's nose is adorned with a nose ring, and in others its face is wrapped in a veil like its mother. The Chinese baby is tied to the back of an older child. The Mongolian infants travel about in bags slung on a camel's back. In some countries the mothers lay their babies where a stream of water falls on their heads. This is to make them tough, which it does unless the babies die as a result of this treatment. Another mother covers ber baby's head with paste, while the Tartar baby is covered with butter. The Turkish baby is salted—perhaps to keep it sweet—while the worst fate of all falls to the lot of the newly born children in Bulgaria. Their mothers put a hot omelette on the little ones' heads to make them solid and protect them from sunstroke. The Bulgarian baby doesn't like it any better than you would. He makes a great howl about it, but it is not a bit of use. His mother thinks she knows better about some things than he does, so he has to submit, which he does with a very bad grace indeed. Six Hundred Eggs Are Due from a Small Fowl. "How many eggs is a hen wound up to lay during the term of her natural life, do you suppose?" said the man who has investigated. "No idea, eh? Well, sir, a good, healthy hen—not speaking of any particular breed, but just hen—a good, healthy hen does not fulfill her destiny until she has turned out 600 eggs—fifty dozen. That's what Nature has fitted a hen to do in the way of eggs, and she gives her eight years to do it in," says a writer in Browning's Magazine. "The first year of her egg-producing life a hen lays only 20 eggs, but in the three succeeding years she rolls up the score of 370. This leaves only 230 that she must give that many cackles for in the remaining years that she must stand on duty in that line, and she divides the task among those four years so that in the eighth year she lays only 20 eggs again—the number she started in with. Then she has ended her career as an egg producer, and too often, if she is in the hands of a thrifty owner, begins another career, short and delusive—this time as the summer-boarder spring chicken. "And speaking of eggs, there is a lot about them, familiar as they are to everybody, that people don't suspect. Now, here's an egg that would be a rooster if it was hatched. Wrinkled eggs hold roosters in embryo. A protoplast hen lurks in the egg with a smooth-end shell. "There is water a-plenty in an egg, but no more air than there is in a hammer. So long as you can keep air out of your egg it will remain sweet and fresh, but no one has ever succeeded in keeping it out by fair means more than six days. The insidious oxygen is bound to find its way through an egg-shell's pores, and the only way to save that egg is to eat it. It sounds funny, but the instant you give an egg fresh air that instant you ruin its health." Foolhardy Fame. An Italian, whose name is of no consequence, has climbed to the summit of one of the three highest peaks of the Mont Blanc range, called the Dame Laignaises. This peak is 11,400 feet high, and the last 1,000 feet of the ascent was over a smooth and practically perpendicular rock. It required 12 hours to make it, and when done the man of misdirected energy and enterprise actually thought he had achieved fame. But, after all, what sort of fame is it? The man had risked his life to accomplish, what? To be able to say he had climbed to a spot on the mountains that no other person ever did! It is the sort of fame gained by the youth who fired the Ephesian dome. It will be remembered as an act from which no useful consequences can flow and in which life was recklessly imperiled in order that a fool might cry out, "I did it!" In the feat there was no contribution to science, to morals or to the general knowledge of the world. Thought Brakeman Steered. The little girl had become well acquainted with automobiles long before she had ridden in a railroad train, and she had even attempted to help her father steer on the family's automobile trips. When she clambered on the steam cars for the first time she was much excited and her questions fairly tumbled over themselves. Finally she noticed the brakeman turning the wheel between the two cars. She watched him approvingly for a few minutes and then as he suddenly left the wheel she grasped her father in alarm. "Tell him to go back, papa; he must go back," she shouted. Papa looked at her in amazement. "Who must go back, Dorothy?" he asked. "Why, the man who steers," she said breathlessly. "He's left the wheel and we'll run off the track." Compass Points and Health Compass Points and Health. A quaint theory is that of a French mystic, who holds that the four points of the compass have an influence on human health and well-being. Traveling west, asserts this authority, induces melancholy; traveling eastward brings a cheerfulness; southward, languor and irritability; and northward, calmness. It is a question of electrical currents, and the influence is felt not only when traveling, but also when at home. The best posture for working is to face either north or east. In these positions you receive positive waves of electricity, the negative currents coming from the other two points, south and west. Even the sleep is improved, it seems, if the foot of the bed be turned to the north or east. To sleep in the contrary position induces nightmare and general uneasiness. A Rough Passage Jacob Hope, the head of Philadelphia's phonograph school for parrots, said the other day: "There are worse things than a swearing parrot, and one was brought over on a German boat last month. His owner, a sailor, swore that this traveled bird knew no profanity, and a lady bought him. "But she had to bring him to me. The parrot, though he didn't swear, had evidently spent most of his time on shipboard in the ladies' saloon, for what he would do was this: "For hours at a time he would choke and gasp and hiccough as if he'd never stop, and then he'd sing out feebly. 'Steward—bucket!'" STRAY BIRDS SING AT MASS. Mocking Exhibition, Varied With Priest's Register, Disturbs Service. Kansas City, Mo.—There was music with low mass at St. Vincent's the other Sunday, something that is not a part of that Catholic service. A wild mocking bird was, like the girl in Vesta Victoria's hit, "Waitin' at the Church," for mass to begin. Father Henley preached upon the miracle of the deaf being made to hear, and as he went from the middle to the upper register, and from there to basso profundo the mocking bird went with him. The effect of the inflexion of the clergyman's voice was immediately responded to by the mocking bird. As the preacher's voice rose the mocking bird imitated the domesticated canary or the wren. As the tones of the priest dropped the mocking bird's song was that of the crow, the blue jay, and the notes of the robin were to be caught. At the ringing of a small bell, which occurs half a dozen times in one part of the ceremony of the mass, the voice of the priest is scarcely audible. The mocking bird chose for that part of the choral music to imitate the thrush. Father Antill, the rector, had other desires than to conduct the 10 o'clock mass to the erratic music of the bird, and he climbed up into the organ loft to catch the bird. Maneuvering five minutes resulted in the mocking bird changing his base from the organ loft in the rear of the church to the altar railing. By this time Father Antill had issued a call for re-enforcements and the ushers and acolytes were brought into play. There was no small wonderment upon the faces of the parishioners as, coming into the church, they saw the clergy, the ushers and a red frocked, white surplaced altar boy trying to engineer a gray bird from one point to the other. The bird, by this time in full flight, found all the stained glass windows in the church, excepting those which were partly opened. Eventually an open window was found, and there the bird perched for about five minutes. It was an even speculation whether it would go out or go back for the mass that was on the point of beginning. The call of the wild won, however, and the bird disappeared. SLAUGHTERED WHOLE BAND; Finding of Indian Bones Revives Tale of Settlers' Revenge. Redfield, Ia.—A tale of swift and terrible retribution paid out upon a band of Iowa Indians by the Iowa pioneer whom they had bereft of wife and child has cleared away the mystery surrounding the finding of a pile of human skeletons recently in a gravel pit near Scandia. The story is told by J. M. Cave of Linn township, himself a pioneer, and member of one of the oldest families of Dallas county. Mr. Cave read a description of the skeletons. There were bones of both adults and children, some 20 in all, and in every case the skulls had been crushed in apparently by the use of some pointed instrument, the broken places indicating that the same weapon had been used on each. "In 1853 there resided in that neck of the woods a white hunted and trapper named Henry Lott. His family consisted of a wife and two young sons. "One day a band of roving Indians swooped down in warlike attitude upon the clearing. The Indians caught and bound Lott. Then they took a target practice of three rifle shots at Mrs. Lott, none of the shots striking her. Thinly clad, one of the boys escaped down the river toward Fort Des Moines. He was found frozen to death. Worried over the boy's fate, coupled with the scare by the Indians, caused the death of Mrs. Lott. "The husband made a solemn vow to be revenged. He bided his time, plied the Indians with liquor, and while the bunch were in a drunken stupor, he waded in upon them with a sharp ax, making the old chief his first victim. He spared neither buck, squaw, nor papoose." Pays Seven Dollars to Ask a Vacation Washington.—A 1,300-mile telephone message costing seven dollars was received at the post office department, asking leave of absence for a rural free delivery carrier. The officials are asking whether this is not an unanswerable demonstration of the great prosperity prevailing in the west. The message was in the interest of Winfield S. Downs, and Postmaster John T. Wagener at Odessa, Mo., did the telephoning. Downs wanted to be relieved from duty from August 26 until October 1. The officials gasped when the purpose of the message became known, and without inquiring whether Downs was participating to a notable degree in the prosperity of the times, they decided to grant him the leave asked, concluding that if he was willing to pay for the use of the long distance phone he would make good use of his leave. Sprinkle Cologne on Surf. Newport, R. I.-Cologne is sprinkled every morning on the surf at Bailey's beach, Newport's daintiest and most exclusive private bathing resort. All plebeians are barred from the place by police. The millionaires who own the beach and dip there have elected Isaac Townsend Burden of New York their president and H. A. C. Turner secretary and treasurer. Some of the silk bathing suits worn there are delicious revelations. Former Corporation Counsel George L. Rives of New York is a director of the beach. J. D. CRACO. N.

IS COALING STATION LITTLE YELLOW MEN GET AS NEAR UNCLE SAM'S POSSESSIONS AS CONSISTENT. Washington.—News from Yelahama that Japanese "explorers" have occupied and hoisted the national flag over the island of Pratas near the Philippines, has attracted much attention here, because by this act Japan has acquired territory within 120 miles of the Philippines which would furnish an admirable naval base. Japanese possessions are brought almost within the archipelago, because Pratas island is less than sixty miles north of the twentieth parallel, which was the northern boundary of the former Spanish dominions as defined by the treaty of Parit. The Bureau of Insular Affairs is supplied with a great deal of information about Pratas island and Pratas reef, of which it is the visible part. The island is in latitude North $20^{\circ}42^{\prime}$ and longitude East $116^{\circ}45^{\prime}$. It forms the middle and the west side of Pratas reef, is about one and one-half miles long and one-half mile wide, and is shaped like a horseshoe. It rises forty feet above the sea and is visible in clear weather about twelve miles. Pratas island, in connection with the excellent anchorage afforded by Pratas reef, would be very serviceable to the Japs should their navy operate in the waters adjacent to the Philippines. The reef, the northeast point of which is about eleven miles from the island, is a wind barrier of circular form inclosing a lagoon with water of from five to ten fathoms. The reef is about forty miles in circumference and between one and two miles in breadth. There are two channels leading into the lagoon, one on either side of Pratas island. There are several good anchorage in from ten to twenty fathoms of water, the position abreast of the south channel being well adapted for naval purposes. Pratas island is composed of sand. It has been generally visited by Chinese fishermen in the early part of the year. It is said to be the last land between the chain running down to Formosa and beyond the Philippine islands. In no way could the island be of value to anyone except for naval purposes. It is barren except for bushy growth. But as a coaling and refitting base it might be of great value during a blockade of Manila or ports on the Chinese coast. CHERRY CREEK ON RAMPAGE. Cloudburst Awakens Dormant Old Stream to Roaring Torrent. Denver.—A waterspout originating on Cherry creek, three miles from Parker, caused thousands of dollars' worth of damage in that section and for a considerable distance along the banks of the creek the afternoon of September 4th. The railroad bridge on the Colorado & Southern, about eleven miles south of Sullivan, was washed out, and several houses and barns were destroyed. No loss of life is reported. The waterspout, an awe-inspiring, swirling tower, moving with irresistible force, was first noted about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, near the Davidson farm, not far from the town of Parker. The waterspout proceeded with great momentum, tearing up farm land and wrecking several barns and a house. The creek rose over five feet, and much flotsam and jetsam was swirled down its course. The rising of the creek was the foundation for disquieting stories of cloudbursts and breaking dams, and great apprehension was felt by persons living along the course of the stream. The Colorado & Southern bridge, together with a great section of the roadbed, was completely washed away. Fortunately no trains were in the vicinity. The railroad company promptly dispatched scores of clinder-laden freight cars to the scene, and the work of reconstruction was immediately commenced. Just as it seemed that the creek would rise to a point where bridges in Denver would be swept away and much destruction result from the overflow, the waters reached their greatest height and in a short time began to subside. As it was the water was on a level with the tracks on the Wazee bridge, but the structure held. Considerable minor damage was, however, done in the city. Boy Learns He Is Rich from Stranger. Sheridan, Wyo.—Charles Waits, a waiter at the City restaurant, is astonished to learn that he is the owner of an orange plantation near Red Oak, California, valued at $40,000. When Waits, who is now 18 years of age, was a baby his father took up a tract of land in California, set it in orange trees, had a deed made in the name of the baby and leased the property for seventeen years, with the understanding that the orange trees were to be cared for and certain improvements made to the place each year. He said nothing to his son of the matter, and Waits was surprised a few days ago by a letter from the lessee of the property stating that the lease expires October 1, 1907, and that he is willing to pay $1,000 an acre for the property. Young Waits has written to his father in regard to the matter and has not yet received a reply. Being still a minor, he cannot, of course, dispose of the property without the consent of his father. CHICAGO MAIDENS ARE RESCUED They Hire a Mere Man as they Would a Cab. Chicago.—Let ro fair maiden, no spinster, no matron, no anybody, wander about Chicago's streets alone, forlorn and lost. The time has arrived in Chicago when— "You an hire a dress suit, a frock coat, a business suit or any other class of male attire, with a man of any description in it, for $1 an hour." Here's the secret. Since things are coming your way, ladies, let it be known to you this Utopia may be acquired. F. F. Elmer, formerly of San Francisco, is responsible for it. At 167 Dearborn street, suite 607, you will find him with his altogether remarkable establishment known as an "escort bureau," the first of its kind in Chicago. You need not be afraid. Your escort can sit with you at the Annex and dine in as correct a manner as any gentleman you ever met. But— You must thereafter "properly" see the cashier yourself. He pays for nothing. He is the wooden man with the polite gush, the ready response, the steady acquiescence and the sure enough strong arm if you get into trouble. You may confide in him. He forgets quickly. When you turn him into the "escort garage" he forgets you. Here we have the experience of a beautiful young woman who went to this remarkable place and sought out a "one dollar per escort." Listen: "Will it be possible for you to send a nice-looking escort to the theater with me?" asked the young woman? "Certainly," said Mr. Elmer. "Blonde, brunette, bald, fat or thin?" came the startling answer. In response to this came the description of the man—a real Gibson fellow. "Really, a delightful experience," said she afterwards. "We girls need no longer feel that we have to depend upon our young men acquaintances. A five spot will get an escort of the finest finish." Child Mother Drowns Babe. Chicago.—"I took the clothes from my little baby, kissed it good-by and then held it out far over the water, like this, and let it fall." This startling statement, punctuated with sobs and completed in a tone of voice almost a shriek, concluded the testimony of little Mary Lappela, the Finnish "child-mother," on trial before Judge Chetain on a charge of drowning her two-weeks old baby. She told of her little romance and of her misfortune. She related the terrible blow she suffered when Frank Wallkala refused to marry her. She suffered for weeks and then her little Laura was born in Chicago. She worried and was unable to conceal the shame of it all. Finally she went to the lake, to the water that had been so dear to her in her Finnish home, and there took the little life of the only one dear to her in this world. It was a sensational and heart-rending story. Rolling Stock for Foreign Railroads. New York.—Contracts aggregating $2,000,000 have recently been awarded American concerns for rolling stock to be used by foreign railroads. The American Locomotive Works, the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the St. Louis Car Company, will supply nearly 100 locomotives and 300 cars, including a number of motor cars, for Japan, Mexico and the West Indies. The chief contract calls for twenty-six consolidation locomotives for the Hokalod railway, running through the coal region in northern Japan. The Japanese government railways have also contracted for twenty-four eight-wheel engines. Bolivian, Colombian and Jamaican railways have ordered locomotives and the Chilean railways have ordered passenger and freight cars. Publicly Denounces Christian Science. New York.-Clarence A. Byrne, a self-styled "healer," who was released from prison after having served a thirty-day sentence for having allowed his six-year-old daughter, Violet, to die without medical attention, publicly repudiated the Christian Science faith during a testimonial meeting in Christian Science church. Byrne said that while he was suffering under the cross of punishment for the faith that he had held at a time when he first needed comfort from the members of the church, they had disowned him and denied that he was an adherent of their creed. Byrne came from Kansas City a year ago. Bryan Goes After Taft. Oklahoma City, Okla.—Ten thousand persons heard William J. Bryan here reply to the recent address of Secretary of War Taft upon the Oklahoma-Indian territory political situation, in Convention hall, and 3,000 persons, unable to secure admittance to the auditorium, attended an overflow meeting near by. Mr. Bryan was enthusiastically received. In addition to scoring Secretary Taft soundly for placing his personal ambitions above the welfare of the people of Oklahoma, and attacking the views of the secretary of war on national policies, Mr. Bryan declared that the constitution of the proposed new state was even better than that of the United States. Boy Murderer Sent to Prison for Life. Pueblo.—Eugene Mendicelli, the eleighteen-year-old boy convicted of murder in the first degree for killing Antone Tafone, an Italian grocer, was sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary by Judfge J. E. Rizer. In overruling a motion for a new trial Judge Rizer commented on a point brought out by Mendicelli's attorneys, which was that as the law provides either life imprisonment or hanging in first degree convictions, the trial judge should not excuse jurors who had conscientious scruples against hanging.

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. Time to Fly. The trust magnate leaped up from the banquet table and made a dive for his 100-mile-an-hour automobile. "Hold on!" cried the astonished toastmaster. "Won't you wait for us to serve the dessert?"

"I believe one evening she got the supper from her cooking school recipes, and when the boys in the neighborhood lost their ball in a hole under the fence, Mr. Newed gave them one of her biscuits to finish the game." 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. Burglar's Pathetic Wall.

Sayles, 40 years old, colored, dropped dead at Greeley while putting on his shoes, and an autopsy made by Coroner Macy shows that heart failure induced by an overdose on acetylene, was the cause of death. Indications from letters are that the medicine was prescribed by an Eastern physician, with whom Sayles was consulting, both in regard to his health and love affairs, and that possibly the medicine was taken as a love potion. All knew Sayles as a respectable negro, working as a porter in a shop here, and no one dreamed that he was the owner of two good farms in Kansas and a small ranch near the sugar factory, which was found to be the case. Several expeditions have been sent out from the University of Colorado this summer to collect geological, botanical and zoological specimens for the museum. The State Geological Survey, under Professor Russell D. George and Instructor Ralph D. Crawford, will collect a number of minerals from the Poudre valley region and in Routt county; Professor T. D. A. Cockerell has been at Florissant, Colorado, collecting fossil plants and animals, while Professor Francis Ramley and a party spent a week in the neighborhood of Ward collecting a complete set of the plants and animals of that region, paying especial attention to the lake region. Judge Junius Henderson has also collected a number of fossils.

Jerome on Colored Evidence. District Attorney Jerome, of New York, said one day of a piece of suspicious evidence: "It is evidence that has been tampered with, colored. It is like the lady's report of her physician's prescription. "A lady ore day in July visited her physician. The man examined her and said: "Madam, you are only a little run down. You need frequent baths and plenty of fresh air, and I advise you to dress in the coolest, most comfortable clothes—nothing stiff or formal." "When she got home her husband asked her what the physician had said. The lady replied: "He said I must go to the seashore, do plenty of automobiling, and get some new summer gowns." Evil of Tipping System. Although there is a great effort made to keep secret the thefts in hotels and restaurants in New York, it is quite evident they are on a rapid increase.

She says: "I have had to lie awake half the night with my feet and limbs out of the bed on the coldest nights, and felt afraid to sleep for fear of catching cold. I had been troubled for years with twitching and jerking of the lower limbs, and for most of the time I have been unable to go to church or to lectures because of that awful feeling that I must keep on the move. "When it was brought to my attention that coffee caused so many nervous diseases, I concluded to drop coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to see if my trouble was caused by coffee drinking. "I only drank one cup of coffee for breakfast but that was enough to do the business for me. When I quit it my troubles disappeared in an almost miraculous way. Now I have no more of the jerking and twitching and can sleep with any amount of bedding over me and sleep all night, in sound, peaceful rest. "Postum Food Coffee is absolutely worth its weight in gold to me." "There's a Reason." Read the little health classic, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Judge Must Also Have Been Follower of the Gentle Art. John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts, third of that name, who died about ten years ago, was very fond of fishing, and not especially fond of his legal profession. One day, the story runs, a case in which he was counsel was down for trial in a Massachusetts court. Mr. Adams did not make his appearance, but sent a letter to the judge. That worthy gentleman read it, and then postponed the case with the announcement: "Mr. Adams is detained on important business." It was afterward learned by a colleague of Adams that the letter read as follows: "Dear Judge: For the sake of old Isaak Walton, please continue my case till Friday. The smelts are biting, and I can't leave." CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema —Boy Tortured by Poison Oak— Both Cured by Cuticura. "Last year, after having my little girl treated by a very prominent physician for an obstinate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Walden's Ridge Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905." A Knock.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Fletcher.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- This is the day of the filmy frock and also the day of the heavy linen coat and skirt costume, and as for silk, the latter fabric is made up in almost every sort of frock, simple or elaborate. Silks vary so in every respect save their material that in no other fabric, perhaps, is so great variety to be found. From the thinnest of Indias and Chinas to the heavy faille, silken robes run a long gamut, and whether plain, figured, chine, or brocaded, they may be either heavy or light in weight as in coloring. Taffeta is a silk always worn. Of recent years the improvements in this silk have been so great that even the woman of most modest means may essay a taffeta gown without fear of its cracking as it hangs in the closet. The chiffon weaves are soft and supple, and while it must be admitted that the chances are slim for air getting through its close weave, yet it is thin and cool to the touch and weighs almost nothing. The black and white striped cloths in the very light weights, or the volles, and also the liberty satins, make up most effectively. The blue serges for traveling and hackabout wear must not be overlooked. Many severe tailor-mades in blue serge with no other ornament except a few rows of stitching are among the smartest of the traveling costumes in evidence in the smart restaurants and on the avenue and at the railway stations. The chic serge with its perfect lines is as remote from the cheap copy as diamonds from glass. If a woman is so circumstanced as not to be able to afford the former, let her choose some other material. The long pongee or rajah traveling coats for train and motor wear are indispensable, and the woman with a small income will find one invaluable. Coming from the neck to the hem of the gown, they protect and conceal a thin frock suitable for luncheon or theater wear, and being light and thin, are not cumbersome to have thrown over one's arm, or temporarily stored away, and as for mussing, they do not muss easily, and when they do a warm iron repairs damage. The heavier rajahs are more satisfactory than pongees, as they do not muss so readily nor spot and crinkle when wet, and anyone addicted to motoring will sometimes get caught in the rain. Striped materials have been so much the vogue the past spring and also this summer in the ready-made coat costumes that there is little prospect of their being smart for autumn wear. The shepherds' plaids, however, will, as for some years past, be worn by modish women. This particular plaid or check has for several years been more or less worn by well-dressed women, although the great body of women prefer other costume material. This is probably because checked clothes are worn for outdoor, traveling and formal costume generally by the smart woman, as well as sometimes in elaborate gowns for formal wear, while her poorer sister must make one or two costumes take the place of the dozen of the woman of wealth, and so selects fabrics that properly made will look well when she makes a morning call, or attends an afternoon tea; one that is suitable for shopping and for the theater, too. Really, no hard and fast lines can well be laid down in these matters, and the good judgment and taste of the individual, or the reverse, come into play when choosing gowns. It is rather deplorable that the first choice of the multitude of women of small means is that of black for cheap frocks. Black material for gowns should be of the best, else it looks like rags. Blues, grays, and other colors are far better. Grays are a safe selection in almost anything. Brownies are not only far more trying unless the proper tones are selected, but are not so durable in the matter of wear or of fading. These matters, of course, do not count with the woman of means, but the poor woman cannot afford to overlook such facts. As to the three frocks shown in our large picture, No. 1 is of pale gray volle with hems and collar of pale THE WORLD'S FASHION AN ORIGINAL DESIGN.

No. 2 is a lilac-tinted muslin spotted with white, with a lace vest outlined with a fichu of muslin; and crowned with a white chip hat lined with black and trimmed with white ostrich feathers, it says the last word of dalinty elegance. But no mere dress may have a last word—that's woman's privilege for all time, and I'll express mine for the moment—in admiration of that last sketch of a frock of lavender-blue tussore, with bands of ecrum lawn embroidery piped with purple silk, the purple hat which completes it bearing purple plumes with becoming grace. Two Views of Drink. "I aln' had a nip fo' 's much 's a half houah," remarked the Kentucky Colonel when he and Edie came down to take dinner with the woman. "Now, I suppose you haven't got a little something about the house in a bottle, have you, to drink?" "No," said the woman, "I haven't. I never keep anything of the sort about the house. I'm afraid of drinking it." "I'd hate to think of keepin' anythin' of the sort about the house without drinkin' it," said the Colonel. $11,500 of the Frisco Strike COUNTERMANDED SHOES They were made to sell at $3.50, $4 and $5 Over 200 Styles of Women's Shoes and Oxford and 170 Styles of Men's Shoes and Oxford.

Crossing with the Wild Species to Improve Market Product. The most notable American bird in the farm category is the turkey, growing as he does to the great weight of 30 and even 40 pounds, and losing nothing in flavor and toothsomeness. Likewise, the most regal of our remaining game girds is his blood brother, the wild turkey, from which he has descended. There is perhaps no instance where domestication has scored so little in improvement as with the turkey. In fact, in some respects the taming and breeding have hurt instead of helped the species. No prize domestic gobbler is ever so beautifully marked or so resplendent with feathers of black shaded with rich bronze and illuminated with a lustrous finish of burnished copper as is the typical wild turkey, while the vigor and vitality of the wild bird is such that to this day we strengthen the most virile of our bronze turkeys by an infusion of the wild blood. Rhode Island stands for the best in turkey production. The last census shows less than 7,000,000 turkeys in the United States and only about 5,000 produced annually in Rhode Island, yet, according to a turkey expert, if all the turkeys of the country were of such good quality as Rhode Island's, their total value would be doubled. According to the department of agriculture, the growing of turkeys has greatly improved during the last few years as a result of a determined effort on the part of producers of "standard bred" stock to demonstrate that it is much more profitable to use pure breeding stock than the smaller and less vigorous stock of times past. The wild turkey is also being used to instill further new vigorous blood into the bronze flocks. Inbreeding is the fatal defect among the practice of many turkey growers. The fact that turkeys will from the time that they are six weeks old until winter gain the greater part of their entire living from bugs, insects, grasshoppers and waste grain assures their existence during this period at little or no cost to the grower where there is a sufficient range for the birds. Nineteen-Hour Days. "Our hours," said a nature student, "are nothing to the birds". Why, some birds work in the summer 19 hours a day. Indefatigably they clear the crops of insects. "The thrush gets up at 2:30 every summer morning. He rolls up his sleeves and falls to work at once. And he never stops till 9:30 at night. A clean 19 hours. During that time he feeds his voracious young 206 times. "The blackbird starts work at the same time as the thrush, but he lays off earlier. His whistle blows at 7:30, and during his 17-hour day he sets about 100 meals before his kiddies. "The titmouse is up and about by 3 mouse is said to feed his young, 417 in the morning, and his stopping time is 9 at night. A fast worker, the tit-meals—meals of caterpillar mainly—in the long, hard, hot day." Senator Pettus' Library. The late Senator Pettus of Alabama was a "Forty-niner," going overland to California in the early days and engaging in placer mining. He took with him on that long and tedious journey three books, the Bible, Shakespeare and Burns' poems. He said of them at one time not long since: "I read the Bible from cover to cover; I read the side notes; I read the captions of the chapters; I learned great parts of it by heart, and I haven't forgotten them yet. I learned many of Burns' poems by heart and much of Shakespeare in the same way, too." Such reading of these three books was an education in itself. It is not likely that many miners engaged in that search for wealth spent their leisure in as profitable a way. Goshawk's Changing Plumage. I know no bird which passes through so many changes of plumage and color of eyes as the goshawk. A young one which I have mounted is about the size of a small hen and is covered with white down. His eyes are pale blue. I colored the eyes exactly from life. When fully grown the first plumage is dark brown above and the eyes are pale yellow. No one would be likely to suspect this being a goshawk who had only seen adult birds. Later it changes to the dark shady blue of the adult, and the eyes, after passing through all the intermediate changes in color from straw yellow, orange yellow and pink, finally assume the deep rich red of the adult —Forest and Stream. Long Overdue. "What," queried the very young man, "was the happiest day of your life?" "When people cease to ask fool questions," answered the old man. "Mr. Thumid has asked if he might call to-night. I think he wants to tell me that he loves me," said Miss Yerner.
