Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Washington D.C. Racial Sentiment in the Campaign. Taft and Foraker the two Extremes. Gratitude Makes the Latter the Negro Ideal. Washing Racial Sentiment in the Campaign tremes. Gratitude Makes Special to COLORADO STATESMAN. Everything points to an early campaign and a strenuous one. The country is wide awake and will throw itself into the battle with greater enthusiasm than has been known since the years immediately succeeding the Civil War. Then the issues clustered about the Negro and the place he was to occupy under the new order of things. Now, after several decades have written their history of efforts for or against his progress as well as the important part the Negro himself has taken in the matter, we find this allabsorbing subject still in the forefront of unsolved questions. To-day, though the issue is just as clearly defined, it has taken on somewhat of a difficult aspect. The personal attitude towards subjects in which the Negro is vitally interested, is going to have an enormous influence in determining the strength of candidates for the Republican nomination. From this view point the two foremost names which must be considered are Taft and Foraker and in the popular mind these represent the two extremes of racial sentiment in politics. The War secretary, however much one tries to consider his candidacy in a hopeful way, labors under the severe handicap of standing for the wishes of another, rather than for the promotion of his own ambition and desires. As the administration candidate, Mr. Taft must shoulder a very large burden of resentment on account of Brownsville which will doubtless find an expression wherever Negro ballots are cast and counted in the next election. To what extend the soothing influences of time will operate to soften the animosities growing out of that deplorable incident, the future alone may tell. There are many evidences that Negro character, in its bearing and relation to the serious matters affecting his civic status in the Republic is vastly different from the thing which has invited the sneers and ridicule of the thoughtful and intelligent for more than forty years. The manly attributes so long smothered under the disheartening influences of oppression and persecution seem at length to have been thoroughly awakened, and as a result a new Negro, alert and ambitious, who knows his personal limitations as well as privileges stands forth, an undeniable factor in the allignments which make the success or failure of political parties. The political infancy of a people manifests itself in much the same way as does the personal infancy of the individual. It is the season of uncertain mood and action. The tears of one moment are followed by the radiant smile and rippling laughter of the next. The painful paddy-whack loses much of its sting and ache if followed by candied plum or sugared cake. In like manner the maturer years of the race as of the individual demand consistency of treatment and insists that manifestations of friendship should proceed in an even way, unbroken by the fitful flings of temper or malevolence. Subscribing to this principle, the Negro places himself in accord with all other self respecting peoples and issues a peremptory challenge for a square deal and consistent treatment. A thoughtless or unkind act inspires a desire for retaliation in much the same way as it does in other races. On the other hand the loyal and devoted friends, who are not afraid to stand up for him at all seasons and in all places, are woefully scarce and he is therefore grateful and anxious to prove his appreciation for all material kindness. At this time the one stalwart figure, which to the exclusion of all others fills the political vision of the Negro is that of Joseph Benson Foraker. Their regard for him partakes more of the devoted reverence which Grant inspired and which the humble blacks so freely gave. He has captured the strong-hold of their affection in a most natural way. Without compromise and unflinchingly he has accepted battle in their defense, has born the contumely of his peers and the malicious scorn of smaller minds. The world has rarely seen a more courageous championship. The essential element of true heroism is selfeffacement, and where else has there been one who has so completely buried himself and his interests in the cause for which he battled. It looks but natural, then, that Negroes should look with an unwavering trustfulness towards one, who in so ideal a way has convinced them of his faithful interest and consistent friendliness. A generous and heroic action, like virtue is its own and often too, its only reward; and if perchance, an unkind fate shall withhold from him a more substantial recompense, still would his fame be no less enriched and his name forever stand a synonym of justice, the broadest patriotism and the most fearless courage. JOHN H. PAYNTER. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Pritchard Station, Ala., Sept. 22. Mose Dossel, a Negro, was lynched here today for an attempted criminal assault upon Mrs. J. Bredder, a white woman 90 years old. Dossel was hanged to the same tree from which two Negroes, Jim Robinson and Will Thompson, were lynched almost exactly one year ago for assault was committed last night. Mrs. Bredder identified him as her assailant. Only about 50 colored people went from the United States last year to Liberia, although the opportunities for wealth there are excellent. Consul General Lyon writes that the genius of the intelligent farmer would soon extract a fortune from improved conditions. Palm trees and fruits offer great opportunities. It is difficult, he says, to duplicate the Liberian orange for size, flavor, lusciousness, and sweetness anywhere. Columbus, O., "I've killed a man," exclaimed Edith Carson, aged 24, as she rushed to an officer early Friday with a smoking revolver in her hand. The officer hurried with her to her room, where he found the body of A. A. Manley, aged 32, colored, with his hands resting across his breast and in a position which indicated that, while he slept, the woman had pressed the revolver to his breast and sent two bullets into his heart. Fitzgerald, Ga., Sept. 12. A consented attempt by white citizens late last night to drive out the Negro residents of a section of the city near East Oconee street was frustrated by Chief of Police Scott and a posse of special officers, who made twenty-seven arrests. Fearing that another will be made tonight, the sheriff has sworn in a number of deputies and the local militia is being held in readiness. The governor has been notified that the militia may be needed. Fitzgerald is a town populated mainly by G. A. M. and their families, having been colonized by northern men. Hartshorne, I. T., Sept. 22.--In a race riot here last night at a street fair, one young white man named Johnson was killed instantly by a Negro and a young Negro from Tishomingo, an innocent bystander, was killed by a white man. The fight lasted for some time and it seemed that the whites were getting the best of it, when a Negro walked up to young Johnson, placed a revolver at his breast and deliberately shot him through the body. In the excitement a young Negro, whose home was in Tishomingo and who had not been taking part in the trouble, started to run from the crowd and a white man pulled a revolver and killed him. "In South Carolina for the year ending June 30. 1906," says the New York Evening Post, "there were enrolled 147,053 white pupils id 2,674 schools, with 3,633 teachers. The whole cost of educating the white children was $1,538,565. 13, including the cost of the five state colleges maintained or aided. The enrolled Negro children numbered 171,022, or 24,000 more than the whites, but the total appropriation for them was $259,932.86, or only one-sixth of the sum appropriated for the whites. Now, of the total school taxes for the year, $278,477.16 was paid in by the Negroes, so that, so far from any whites contributing to the education of the black, $18,544.30 of the latter's money went to the education of the white children. Oyster Bay, Sept. 14. After careful consideration Secretary Loeb has decided to take to Sagamore Hill a novel present received at the executive offices today. The present, packed carefully in a pine box and addressed to "The Honorable Theodore Roosevelt," is the tail of an African elephant, and was forwarded by Ernest Lyon, United States minister to Liberia. The tail has been tanned and the big hairy tassel on the end of it has been treated with some chemical, which makes it fluffy and soft. Enclosed with the gift was a letter which explained that in the African kingdom, from which the tail was sent it was borne ahead of the king, whose subjects along the route kow-towed and smote themselves on their breasts which signified obedience to the ruler. ON PAR WITH LINCOLN. Lima, Ohio, Sept. 12.—Bishop Wm. B. Derrick, of New York, addressing the twenty-sixth annual state conference of the A. M. E. church today eulogized Senator J. B. Foraker and denounced as vultures Senator Benjamin Tillman, Governor Vardaman and former Secretary Hoke Smith. He said: "All the friends of humanity are not dead, and in Ohio, so famous for the production of men who in the past have favored justice, there live those who will never allow the country's flag to trail in the dust, or the principles for which it waves go unheeded. Men like Lincoln, Lovejoy, Sumner and Garrison have their compliment today in Senator Joseph B. Foraker, while there are three vultures fluttering over the country, but their wings are being clipped. I refer to Benjamin Tillman, of South Carolina; Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia. The Negro is asking no special favors, neither is he asking for sympathy. He is only asking for opportunity and a man's chance in the race of life." When Foraker's name was mentioned the big church rang with cheers. A recollection was passed today indorsing Dr. Joshua H. Jones, President of Wilberforce University at Xenia, as the choice of Ohio to be elevated to the Bishopric. DR. W. T. VERNON DR. W. T. VERNON Address National Baptist Convention at Washington. Entertains Kansas Baptists. Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, by invitation, addressed the National Baptist convention at Washington, D.C., a few days ago, and among other things said: I am sure that it gives me great pleasure to lay aside the duties of my office to visit this most representative body of men, who are giving their lives to the cause of education and the christianization of our race throughout the world. I have been impressed with the solidity of your leaders—the conservation of your presiding officer, and the personalle of the active forces of this great body—the serious minded men of this gathering who feel the weight of the problems before us—who see the duties which lie nearest us and are working with heart and soul toward the amelioration of the untoward conditions now the portion of our race. I am convinced that by the adoption of right methods we are to find a better day for the American Negro. All the elements of our national life are moving toward an improved condition. It is inconceivable that in this era of progress, right should not triumph, and justice should not finally be done to all the people. The American Republic, the hope of free government throughout the world has a mission so lof- ty that its carrying out necessarily involves that "righteousness which exalteth a nation." When men understand that their duties include the granting of rights to their fellow men and that the golden rule in affairs of state, church and home is the only rule which can be subjected to the test of devine scrutiny, then shall we see an era of greatness, in harmony with the divine purpose. Governments are strongest which live in the hearts of their subjects. Patriotism is the outgrowth of an intelligent appreciation of the goodness and justice of human government. To educate the Negro to the full appreciation of his rights and duties, to insist upon a performance of his duties and to insure him his rights will lead to the nearest possible perfection in national effort, and rapidly bring us forward to a realization of the hopes of the most sanguine dreamer who ever wrought for the liberation of human kind. So then, I repeat, to ask for the rights of a people, to educate them to know and perform their duties is the highest possible service which this great convention can render the American nation. I am in sympathy with you, and have a feeling stronger than denominational lines. We may not all see alike on non essentials, but on these essential things which make for a better day for the Negro, all leaders must agree. Worshipping the same God, paying homage to the same Christ alike and preaching His gospel, working for and with a struggling race, we can but be united and must work together. As one holding official position, I desire you to feel me with you, at all times, and consider me as everybody's Register and with all men who desire the uplift of the race, regradless of denomination or creed. Let us be hopeful and the years which unfold will see the accomplishment of our aims and the fruition of the hopes of ten million struggling people. Mr. Vernon took an active interest in the visitors to the National Baptist convention, and in entertaining many of his acquaintances from Kansas during their stay in the city. Such prominent Kansans as Reverends J. H. Vanlue, Bowran, G. H. McNeil, Teal, Ramey, Dr. Fairfax, Dr. E. Arlington Wilson and wife, Dr. Robt Mitchell of Kentucky, formerly of Kansas, and others have all partaken of his hospitality from time to time at breakfast and dinner parties. It was a pleasure to the Register and family to see their Western friends and to observe the strong showing made by the Baptists of the Western States and Territories during the entire session of the National Baptist convention. 23 GOVERNORS AND ROOSEVELT THEY WILL TAKE JAUNT ON OLD MISSISSIPPI RIVER TO CONVENTION. PRESIDENT WILL HUNT PLAN TO HAVE FATHER OF WA TERS RELIEVE SURPLUS TRAFFIC. Denver. — Twenty-three governors from the Mississippi valley and Western states, including Colorado, will start for Keokuk, Iowa, next Monday to meet President Roosevelt. The party will go down the river to St. Louis on a special steamer, thence to Cairo and Memphis to join the convention of the Gulf-to-Lakes deep water convention, which will consider the best methods for digging a permanent fourteen-foot channel in the Mississippi river from New Orleans to the Great Lakes. Governor Buchtel of Colorado has sent his acceptance. He is greatly interested in the movement. President Roosevelt has taken hold of the project, which was started less than a year ago, and is going to the big convention to speak upon and hear discussed the plans of that body to make the Mississippi river the natural canal of the nation, the greatest waterway in the world. Government Will Dig It. It is proposed that the government assume the mammoth task. The cost of the Middle West particularly and to $1,0,000,000. The purpose is to relieve the growing inadequacy of the railroads to handle the vast commerce of the Middle West particularly and the whole country in general. So marvelous has been the growth of the country and its business of late years that the large railway systems are unable to handle it. The waterways of the nation must be put in condition to relieve the condition. It has come to be the only solution of the transportation problem. The convention will be one of the most representative bodies that has ever gathered in the nation. The governors who will sit in it will be H. A. Buchtel of Colorado, John W. Cutlet of Utah, George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, Joseph K. Toole of Montana, Bryant B. Brooks of Wyoming, John Burke of North Dakota, C. I. Crawford of South Dakota, J. O. Davidson of Wisconsin, A. B. Cummings of Iowa, George L. Sheldon of Nebraska, Edward W. Hoch of Kansas, Charles S. Deneen of Illinois, Joseph W. Folk of Missouri, Malcolm R. Patterson of Tennessee, Frank Frantz of Oklahoma, X. O. Pindall of Arkansas, Newton C. Blanchard of Louisiana, N. B. Broward of Florida, T. M. Campbell of Texas, Vardaman of Mississippi, Comer of Alabama, Hoke Smith of Georgia, and others. The inland waterways commission will be at the convention also and accompany the President and the governors down the Mississippi to Cairo on a special steamer October 3d, and to Memphis the next day, to study the stream. During the stay of the party in the various cities it will be entertained. Later the President will go down into the wilds of Louisiana to hunt. Addresses will be delivered by President Roosevelt at all his stops. Sixteen-Foot Vein on Friday. Cripple Creek—The vein opened several days ago on the Friday property on Tenderfoot hill has developed into an immense body of ore. It now measures sixteen feet between walls. The vein was first encountered Saturday. Values from $12 to $28 in gold to the ton are found all the way across the ore body. The strike was made in the shaft at a depth of seventy-five feet. The Friday Mining & Leasing Company is now negotiating for the erection of a cyaniding mill for the treatment of low grade ores, large bodies of which are known to exist in the property. A car of ore of a five-ounce grade was shipped today by the Ophir Leasing Company from the Dead Pine on Battle mountain. The ore was broken from a two-foot vein at a depth of 360 feet. The Western Investment Company, working at a depth of 400 feet in the Colorado Boss on the south slope of Gold hill, is breaking ore from a three ounce grade from an ore body thirty inches in width. These lessees are making regular shipments and a car was sent out today. Hill and associates leasing on the Wrockloch property on Bull hill today sent out a car of ore which is expected to return $40 to the ton. The ore was broken from a two-foot vein at a depth of 400 feet. Drifting is being done in a northerly direction. Held In Coffin Ten Hours. Dubuque, Iowa.—To lie for ten hours in a coffin, to see through the glass covering over his face the glimmer of candles was the fate of Roy Lorraine, a student of the Dubuque high school, who was the victim of a "frat" initiation. The young man being of the nervous kind, was to be submitted to the most trying ordeal. Gagged and bound he was taken under cover of night to a farm house in the vicinity of the city. Here he was escorted to a cellar long in disuse and led down the stairway. Candles were lighted and placed about in niches in the wall and young Lorraine, blindfolded, was induced to lie down in what to him seemed a box and the cover was fastened. The covering soon was removed from his eyes and he awoke to the realization that he was in a coffin. There was sufficient air to keep him from smothering and he remained there all through the night. Early in the morning he was released by some of his friends. BRYAN BUILDS THE PLATFORM Reflects His Views on National Declarations in 1908. Lincoln, Neb.—Under the new state direct primary law this was the day designated for all political parties represented on the primary ballot to hold their state platform conventions. Of the five parties, three—the Republican, Democratic and Populist—gathered in considerable numbers. The Prohibitionists held no convention, and the Socialists were without representation, save for one delegate, who certified to a platform and organization with the secretary of state. The feature of the Democratic convention was the speech of William J. Bryan. He congratulated the party, state and national, on having emerged from the valley of the shadow of death, which, he said, the Republicans, hopelessly divided, were just entering. Mr. Bryan assisted in drafting the platform, and its declarations are assumed to reflect his views of what the national party declarations should be in 1908. The platform opens with commendation of William J. Bryan. It further approves of the laws prohibiting the pass and rebate and insists on further legislation making it unlawful for any corporation to contribute to campaign funds. It opposes the centralization idea and declares for the election of United States senators by direct vote. Immediate revision of the tariff is urged and an income tax favored. On the question of trusts, the platform says, in part: "A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal law against trusts and trust magnates and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make it impossible for a private monopoly to exist in the United States." Declarations are made for state and national boards of trade and an eight-hour day, against government by injunction and for protection of foreigners. Cross the Bar Together. New York—Unable to overcome their grief for the death of their nineteen-year-old son a year ago. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Helm, a middle-aged couple who were deeply devoted to each other, ended their lives together Sunday night in their home at No. 1069 Boston Road, the Bronx. Carefully packing their household goods and labeling them for disposition and writing letters to explain their action, they removed the tip from a gas jet in their bedroom and lay down side by side on two coats that had been drawn closely together. Thus they were found dead, their hands clasping in a last embrace. One of the letters was addressed "To Whom It May Concern," and read: "Nobody is to be blamed for our act. We died voluntarily. It is our desire to cross the bar together. Since the death of our much-beloved and highly-talented son, with whom all our hopes were buried, life has indeed not been worth the living for us. The sun had set and overhead was nothing but a cold gray sky. We have become useless and superfluous, wherefore after due consideration we have deemed it advisable to disappear together from the surface of the earth." The letter was signed Mrs. Maurice Helm, nee Annie Lowe, fifty years old, and Maurice Helm, fifty-two years old, and it was blotted as if by tears. Ate Postmaster's Profit. Douglas, Wyo.—The little postoffice at Hampshire is to be discontinued for the reason that the postmaster could no longer afford to feed the people that came for their mail. The Hampshire postoffice is located at the ranch of the Laramie Mountain Sheep Company and was established for the convenience of neighboring ranch owners and their employees. In a short time the business of the postoffice has grown to considerable proportions as to incoming mail, but the sale of stamps, from which the postmaster derived his income, only amounted to about $2 a week. As is customary, neighbors calling for their mail remained to one or more meals, aggregating, according to the manager of the ranch, who is also postmaster, about $500 per year in victuals consumed. At a meeting of the stockholders of the sheep company, one of whom is Mrs, Kate Turner, a wealthy Cheyenne widow, it was decided that it was cheaper to send to Douglas for the mail. "Devil Drivers" Kill Boy? Chicago—Excitement in Zion City City over the torturing to death of aged Mrs. Leilila Greenhaugh by a band of religious fanatics was intensified yesterday by the rumor that a nine-year-old boy, suffering from typhoid fever, had been killed by the same methods. It is said that the "devil drivers" prayed, shouted and sang while the dying boy pleaded for medicinal help and a drink of water. After his death it is said the discovery was made that his tongue had been slit its entire length as if by a sharp knife, and the investigators desire to know if this was done to prevent him talking. The entire city is covered with posters warning all inhabitants about talking to strangers or discussing in any way any of the recent sensational occurrences. Everything Went "Mexican." Trinidad, Colo.—One Mexican is dead, another is dying and three are in a serious condition as the result of a cutting and shooting affray in a saloon at Segundo, fifteen miles west of here. The dead man is Andrea Salazar. Juan C. Tafoya is suffering from bullet and knife wounds, while Fidel Argello, Chano Bruno and Julian Munez are in jail awaiting the result of the coroner's investigation. A "Mexican" was given in what is known as Old Segundo, and the tragedy is the result of rivalry for the affections of a girl. Salazar's body is literally cut into ribbons. Little is known of him here, he having come to this section recently from old Mexico. Tafoya is a son of Santiago Tafoya, now serving a life sentence at Canon City for murder. UNCLE SAM MUST FIGHT JAPAN SAID TO BE PREPARING FOR A TILT WITH THE UNITED STATES. SEC. TAFT'S TRIP EYED PAPER SAYS UNITED STATES IS REACHING OUT FOR MASTERY OF THE PACIFIC. St. Petersburg. — Secretary Taft's tour of the world is being followed with unusual interest here. The government is taking measures to surround the journey through Siberia and European Russia with attentions usually observed for the rulers of states, and the press is busily speaking on the likelihood and advantage of a Russo-American convention, the object of Mr. Taft's visit to Russia being, it is alleged, to negotiate an agreement between the United States and Russia. The conviction prevails here that war between Japan and the United States is inevitable in the distant future. The Novoe Vremya published an article entitled "The New World Power," picturing the marvelous growth of America as a sea power during President Roosevelt's administration, warning Russian diplomacy "not to be caught unawares by coming events," and adding: "The day when the United States fleet passes out of the Straits of Magellan and sweeps proudly into the waters of the Pacific will open a new era for the eastern world. Official courses and the temporary lull in war tank do not conceal the fact that America is reaching out for the mastery of the Pacific and already is strong enough to attain it. "She entered the race for it in the spring of 1903, when Congress voted the navy bill and the Panama bill, both essential to the object in view. Without any noise except the ceaseless rumble of machinery, the mighty nation succeeded in forging a sea power already including thirty-five battleships and having its docks crowded with many more war vessels. The American people are not lured by the glamour of mere display. The purposes are deeper. Kindred of England, the American's creed is that commerce follows the flag. Her object is incompatible with mere desire for trade in the Far East. England won the throne of the Atlantic from Spain, Holland and France. America is about to challenge her rival for the throne of the Pacific." Refused to Be Shot Full of Holes Denver.—The genuine pinching kid has been discovered. He goes by the name of Charles V. Hull. He is "Billy the Hinder" most of the time and a printer on the side, according to the allegations contained in an application for divorce filed in the County Court by Nellie Hull of 401 Pan street. Mrs. Hull says that since their marriage in Berthoud, Colorado, November 13, 1904, up to the time of his desertion several months ago, Hull has pinched her nose, pinched her ears, pinched her shoulders, pinched her arms and pinched her toes. Her attorney, Isaac Dunn, filed as an exhibit in the suit this itinerary: Jan. 28, 1905—He took me by the shoulders and shook me until my teeth chattered; also threw me to the floor and kicked me. March 1, 1906—He landed an upper-cut on my chin that made me see stars and several moons. Same day, later—Invited me to get a revolver, so that he could kill me; refused invitation. March 20, 1906—Sent home a right swing and I went down for the count. swing and went down to the couch. I 190° down with the forelegs alighted on my head and it was several hours before I fully realized what had happened. July 15, 1907—Pinched me wickedly, Sept. 15, 1907—More pinching; also waved a revolver and said: "Get to the yard and let me see how many holes I can put into you." This invitation was also turned down. There are other dates, but they are not given, to avoid repetition. Peculiar Situation in Wills. New York.—The will of Paul MacCormac, the clubman and automobilist, who died from injuries received in an automobile accident recently near South Norwalk, Connecticut, in which his wife was killed, has been found in the safe of A. C. Starita, his former attorney. By the terms of the instrument, Mrs. MacCormac was made the sole beneficiary, but her death has brought about an unusual situation. Mrs. MacCormac, in her will, left the bulk of her estate to her husband. She bequeathed $10,000 to be invested in an annuity for Joseph Adler Converse, her eleven-year-old son by her first husband, from whom she was divorced. Mrs. MacCormac was killed on August 25th. Her will was dated February, 1905, and in it she left her house in Connecticut to her second husband and made him trustee for her son, who is with his father, Charles Converse. Mr. MacCormac died soon after his wife. His will left all of his estate to his wife without any stipulation as to its disposal in case of her death. His estate is estimated at about $500,000, most of it invested in securities which are believed to be in a safe deposit vault in this city. The MacCormacs had no issue, so that now both estates will be divided among relatives of Mr. MacCormac. Plague Mortality Sixty Per Cent. San Francisco.—The totals in the bubonic plague situation to date are as follows: Cases verified, 43; deaths, 26; death percentage, 60.4 per cent.; suspects under observation, 23. No statement was issued yesterday by the board of health. One case and one death are yesterday's additions to Monday's score. GREATEST WATER DEAL YET. Antero and Lost Park Reservoirs Converted Into One. Greeley, Colo.—One of the greatest water deals ever closed in Colorado was completed in Denver, through the purchase by a pool of Greeley and Denver men from the High Line Reservoir Company of the famous reservoir sites known as Antero and Lost Park, about which there has been considerable discussion in the Denver dailies during the past year. Prominent among the purchasers are the Wyatt brothers, D. B. and D. C., heavy landholders under the Eaton ditch, D. B. Wyatt being vice president of the First National Bank of this place, D. A. Camfield, one of the largest reservoir and ditch contractors in the West; S. J. Peery, farmer and trader; J. C. Mosher of Mosher & Parker, produce; J. C. Wylie, county assessor and farmer; P. W. Allen, county treasurer and heavy landowner; William Mayher, lumber dealer and one of the directors of the Northern Colorado Power Company. Among the Denver men participating in the purchase are G. A. Starbird, irrigation engineer and large land owner; Emile J. Reithmann, former county commissioner and landowner; B. H. Du Bois, horseman and landowner under the High Line canal; Horace G. Clark, former Senator E. A. Bromley and others. Paul M. Clark, a young Denver attorney, conducted the negotiations for the purchase and transfer of the property, assisted by E. G. Kindred, a Greeley attorney, and Jesse Wyatt, son of D. B. Wyatt. Messrs. Kindred and Wyatt employing Clark to conduct the negotiations. The Antero reservoir site is one of the famous reservoir sites of the West, and is well known by all well-informed ditch and reservoir men in this state, and is described in the government reports. It is pronounced by experts as the greatest natural storage depression in the entire West. COPP. R WILL GO TO 20 CENTS. This Is the Opinion of E. A. Norton Authority. Denver.—The present depression in the copper market is caused by the concerted action of European consumers, according to the opinion of E. A. Norton of Denver, and the metal will shortly find its price level, which no places at from 20 to 22 cents. Mr. Norton is interested with English and New York and Virginia capitalists in the ownership of the Penn-Wyoming Copper Company, operating large properties at Encampment, near the Wyoming-Colorado line in the North park country. "The average price of copper for twenty-five years was $14\frac{1}{4}$ cents," said Mr. Norton, "but it will not be that low again for any length of time. The demand is so great that the present quotation of 16 to 17 cents can not long prevail. I have recently visited the largest consumers in Europe, and I am satisfied from the information gained there t hat copper will shortly settle down to from 20 to 22 cents and remain at that standard price." Mr Norton is entertaining the owners of the copper properties in which he is interested. The same capitalists own 91,000 acres of land in Carbon county, Wyoming, and are now engaged in placing it under irrigation. Asmus Jury Disagrees Fort Morgan, Colo.—The jury in the case of John Asmus and Zara Moon, charged with the murder of Robert McDowell reported to Judge Burke that the members could not reach an agreement and the jury was discharged. The jury stood eight to four for acquittal from the first and the count did not change throughout the entire deliberations, although ballot after ballot was taken. The jurors in favor of acquittal were firm in their conviction, and no amount of balloting or deliberation would change them, and the four on the other side were in the same frame of mind as to changing their votes. The cost of the trial of the two men has been enormous for Morgan county, and in view of the fact that the sentiment of the jury was in the majority for an acquittal many express the opinion that there will not be another trial of the case, as the people do not relish being saddled with the expense of a second trial. Moon and Asmus were released on $9,000 bail. A new bond was required, which was promptly furnished. The jurors in the case were discharged for the remainder of the term, as Judge Burke said that men who had sat on a case for fifteen days and nights had earned exemption for a year.

Canon City, Colo.—John Ripley, aged eighty-two years, one of the plover ranchmen of Fremont county, had both shoulders broken by falling from his wagon one mile east of this city. Ripley left early in the day for Twin mountains for a load of wood. About dusk the team was discovered by W. R. Scott coming into the city alone. Scott secured the team and started back over its trail to locate the driver. He found the injured man by the roadside and brought him to his home, where he is in a critical condition. MEANS MUCH TO COLORADO NORTHERN COLORADO POWER PLANT INSTALLED AT LAFAYETTE READY FOR BUSINESS. TWO ELECTRIC LINES NEW FEATURE INJECTED WHICH WILL GIVE ADDED BENEFIT TO PATRONS. Denver—There has been installed at the Northern Colorado Power plant, near Lafayette, an electric turbine costing $65,000. Another turbine of the same cost and size will be installed in two weeks. These two great engines will furnish 6,500-horse power for the running of an electric line from Denver through Northern Colorado as far as Greeley. At the same time President Barker of the power company, who is also vice president of the Denver Gas & Electric Company, announced that, having secured a franchise for a street car line in Cheyenne, he would be able to construct the line with Denver and Colorado capital. Thus two great enterprises are assured that require an investment of several millions of dollars without asking anything but legitimate private investment, with only returns promised coming to investors through the operation of the companies. The grade for the electric road is now practically complete, paralleling the Colorado & Southern tracks from Denver as far as Louisville. Eighty-five pound rails necessary for the track are now on their way to Denver, and wire is being strung to carry the current. The system will be an overhead trolley, but a feature never before used will be a plan of alternating currents, which will conserve the power and give greater facilities for the movement of business. It is announced officially that trains will be running over the road by spring. The entire scheme has been financed and the bonds floated. The road will carry both passengers and light express freight. The whole plan has been carried through and the money subscribed without appealing to the moneyed interests of the state excepting in a legitimate way, offering the investment privately for what it may be worth as an investment. SAYS AFFIDAVIT IS FABRICATION Denies Prosecution Is in Any Way Political Persecution. Phoenix, Artiz—Justus Goebel, a brother of the late Governor Goebel of Kentucky, residing in Phoenix, commenting on the affidavit made by a woman in Richmond, Indiana, who alleges that Governor Goebel was killed by Turner Igo, at the instigation of the son of John Sanford, says the story is pure fabrication. He says the facts as set forth in the affidavit are so at variance with the proved facts that they cannot be considered. He denies that the prosecution of any person is a political persecution. He says that the only persons interested in the prosecution are himself and his brother, Arthur, of Cincinnati, and such friends as may aid them in avenging the death of the governor. They have no desire to convict an innocent man and thus shield the real murderer, and for this reason they have followed every reported clew, each of which, if not utterly discredited, was finally traced back to Taylor and Powers. Continuing, he said: "The prosecution, which has been conducted without abatement of enthusiasm for eight years, will be conducted as long as there is a Goebel, young or old, alive, and until the guilty parties have been brought to justice. We will get Governor Taylor sooner or later, as he cannot always find an asylum in Indiana." Perfectly Good Husband Spoiled Chicago—Mrs. Franklin V. Elder, who until yesterday was Miss Blanche Buckley of Louisville, loaned her husband to his bachelor friends for a farewell supper last night. When she loaned him he was a perfectly good husband, with a beautiful mustache, a handsome head of hair and a wedding smile. She smilingly warned them to let Frank come home early, because they start today for their new home at Seattle. When her husband was returned to her Mrs. Elder had a bad shock. His friends had during the course of their farewell dinner clipped his hair close, cut off his beautiful mustache, painted his head red and blackened his face with charcoal. Friends escorted Mr. Elder forbicily about town for exhibition purposes. Then they returned him to his bride, who, with the aid of a scrubbing brush, started in to make him presentable, while her husband vowed murder against his "friends." Rewarded for Heroism. Chicago.—A Tribune special from Kendall, Wisconsin, says: John Franklin, a northwestern engineer running between here and Sparta, has received a check for $10,000 with a promise of another, for saving the life of a woman at Devil's Lake a few weeks ago. Franklin, with his wife, was spending a.few days at the lake. At the same time William Peterson, a wealthy Chicago man, with his wife, daughter and Miss Jenkins, a sister-in-law, also was encamped at the lake. One morning while out in a boat the girl and Miss Jenkins rowed over to a spring to get a drink. As Miss Jenkins attempted to get back into the boat she slipped, falling into the water. The impact drove the craft from shore, and, although she managed to get hold of the boat, she could not draw herself from the water. Franklin rescued her just as her strength was about falling her. Miss Jenkins was one of the few who escaped from the Iroquois theater holocaust in Chicago, and says she fears she is to die a violent death. C.B. FIZER M. R. C. B. FIZER. Mt. Sterling, Ky., writes: "I have suffered with kidney and other trouble for ten years past. "Last March I commenced using Peruna and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain. "I believe that I am well and I therefore give my highest commendation to the curative qualities of Peruna." Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Geo. H. Simser, Grant, Ontario, Can., writes: "I had not been well for about four years. I had kidney trouble, and, in fact, felt badly nearly all the time. "This summer I got so very bad I thought I would try Peruna, so I wrote to you and began at once to take Peruna and Manalin. "I took only two bottles of Peruna and one of Manalin, and now I feel better than I have for some time. "I feel that Peruna and Manalin cured me and made a different woman of me altogether. I bless the day I picked up the little book and read of your Peruna." Peruna is exactly the sort of a remake. It has saved many people from disaster. They're their services at a time when they were not able to bear their own burdens. Transmission of Warts Address: F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Ohio Address: F. J.

WHEN PRICES OF BREADSTUFF GO UP THEY DECREE IT SO. PACKING PLANTS RULE CONSUMERS PAY MORE, BUT RAW MATERIALS SHOW NO INCREASE. Chicago.—Investigation of the packing trust now under way by government officials is alleged to have developed that ten men in Chicago compose the dynamic force of a formidable list of corporations that control prices from those of meat on the hoof to shoe, and from breadstuffs to transportation. These ten men are asserted to hold the balance upon the world's supply of the commonest necessities of life: J. Ogden Armour, E. F. Swift, Ira N. Morris, Thomas E. Wilson, S. A. McRoberts, L. F. Swift, Edward Morris, T. J. Connors, Arthur Meeker, Lawrence A. Carton. The most casual newspaper reader will readily recognize the list as being from the inside of the big packing plants of Chicago. That fact becomes significant when it is stated that they are all directors of the same corporation—the National Packing Company, organized under the laws of New Jersey, with a capitalization of $15,000,000. The directorate controls the following: The price of meat to all consumers. The price of cattle to all breeders. The price of leather to all factories, and thus, incidentally: The price of shoes. The grain trade is controlled, and, it follows: Control Bread, Too. The price of bread. Thus without taking such endless details as the fertilizer market, where the trust controls the price that a farmer pays for his fertilizer, it appears that the latest fight of the government in the trust field is directed to the two chief essentials of life—bread and meat. That the big ten at Chicago has raised the price of these things to the consumer and made no corresponding increase in price paid for raw material is the chief assertion of the government, and it is upon this general line that the most interesting trust fight in the country is now being planned. "When the directors of the National Packing Company decide upon the price to be paid for cattle, that settles it for all of the houses," is the information that has come into the hands of the government. All of the other corporations of the country, with a few unimportant exceptions, bow to the wishes of the ten leaders of the food market of the world. FINE GIFT TO PRINTERS' HOME Woman Donates $100,000 for Comfort of Aged Members of Craft. Colorado Springs, Colo.—A Colorado Springs woman has offered $100,000 for the establishment of an endowment fund for the erection and maintenance of cottages in which to house the families of inmates of the Union Printers' home in this city. The board of trustees of the home, at the final session at their meeting here, passed the necessary amendment to the charter of the home to permit the establishment of the fund. Another important action taken by the trustees was the erection of a tuberculosis sanitarium. The present hospital annex will be used for this purpose and the most advanced methods known to science for the treatment of consumption will be adopted. The offer of the $100,000 from the woman, whose name is withheld, was made about one year ago, but could not be accepted, because of the charter as it then stood. The last Legislature passed a law permitting incorporations to change their charters. It is expected that citizens from all over the country will contribute to the fund and that within a few years the amount will have grown sufficiently to accommodate all occupants of the hospital. Heretofore there has been a great deal of hardship among the families of the printers because of enforced separation. The new fund will permit the relatives to live near them in cottages and tents. There are about sixty patients in the hospital annex and nearly 100 in the regular building. Shortage of. Cars Begins. Denver. Because of a shortage of cattle cars live stock is being shipped into Denver from eastern Colorado in box-cars. During the past few days several carloads have arrived at the stock yards in this way. The railroads are already complaining that they are having difficulty in supplying all the cars demanded. When the heavy shipments of coal commence, which will occur in ten days or two weeks, the railways will be unable to supply all the cars required, and may have difficulty in moving the shipments they receive. Business in this state was never before so heavy at this time of year. The fruit crop, although not as large as last year, requires more than a thousand cars. The sugar beet crop will commence moving just when the demand for coal will begin to be heard, and the general shipments of the autumn, which are always heavy, will give the railroads more business than they can handle. One of the members of the Interstate Commerce Commission is investigating the car shortage in other parts of the country and will probably come to Denver within the next month. COLORADO COLLEGE HEALTHY Enters Upon Thirty-Second Year In Splendid Condition. Colorado Springs.—Colorado College enters upon its thirty-second academic year with every indication of a prosperous session. The attendance is larger than ever before, the incoming freshman class numbering 165, forty of whom are registered in the engineering courses. The faculty has been materially enlarged and strengthened by the addition of several professors and instructors. Three vacancies in the faculty have been most acceptably filled by Dr. George M. Howe, who comes to the German department with very high recommendations from Cornell University; Professor Charles W. D. Parsons, appointed to the chair of physics, and Professor C. J. Foreman, placed in charge of the department of political economy and social science. An important addition to the college faculty is that of C. H. Albright, who comes from the Polytechnicacal Preparatory School of Brooklyn to assist Professor Cajori in the department of mathematics. Another important appointment is that of Frank M. Touret to the office of treasurer, made vacant by the resignation last spring of George N. Marden. Five members of last year's graduating class are registered as instructors either in the college or academy. The permanency and efficiency of this latter arm of the institution has been guaranteed by the announcement of James W. Park as head master of Cutler Academy. Professor Park is not only a man of high standing as a scholar and teacher, but an athlete of enviable record as well. There is much interest here in the new dormitory for girls. Ground was broken for this much-needed building a week ago and work upon the foundation is being pushed as rapidly as possible. It is expected that the structure will be completed in time for use during commencement week next June. They Get a Two-Cent Raise and Further Trouble Is Averted. Denver—By the decision of Interstate Commerce Commissioner E. E. Clark, who was selected as arbitrator, the switchmen in the western territory have won a complete victory in their struggle for a two-cent increase in wages. A telegram received by L. T. Shaug, chairman of the Colorado & Southern grievance committee, from P. H. Morrissey, grand master of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, conveyed the intelligence that the arbitrator had decided in favor of the men, and that the increase will take effect on October 1st. It affects 3,000 men employed on railroads west of Chicago. Grand Master Morrissey represented the switchmen at the arbitration court and General Manager Hurley of the Santa Fe represented all the railroads involved in the controversy. The decision puts the final quietus on a question that has been the bone of contention since last November, when the switchmen of the West demanded a two-ceat differential over the wages paid for similar work in eastern states. Played Cards With Life of Boy. Pueblo.—A human life was the stake in a game of cards between two Austrians in a Bosemer saloon. The ownership of a tiny boy, scarcely ten years old and small for his age, was to be determined by the ability of the two men as gamblers. John Bradko and George Lackovitch, leaders in the Austrian colony here, and each possessed of a comfortable fortune, were the contestants. They both adored the tiny piece of humanity and had shared the pleasure of caring for him. So strong did their admiration and love for the boy become that each was jealous of the other and on several occasions lately according to friends they have nearly come to blows as to who had the prior right to the boy. It was decided that a game of cards would decide the question. The news was spread about the city and a large crowd of friends were on hand to witness the unique contest. Both are experts with the cards, and it is said that a more scientific game of "pitch" was never before played in this section. Bradko won the game by a score of 11 to 10. He had only three "sets" while his opponent had been "put back" four times. This gave him the possession of the child. Lackovitch is said to have offered a sum of money to be given the boy after he had lost, but was refused, and, it is said, found surcease from his sorrow by becoming intoxicated. The prize, probably the first human stake ever played for over a card table, has heretofore been known only as "Jimmie." He is now Jimmie Bradko. Jimmie is an orphan boy and the pet of the town. His parents died when he was an infant and he has been reared jointly by Bradko and Lackovitch. Bradko was too overjoyed with his good fortune to make any statement as to his future plans in regard to the boy, but friends say that he will give the youngster a college education and afford him everything that he desires To Bust the Trusts. Washington, D. C.—Attorney General Bonparte has great plans in mind for further trust prosecutions and for recommendations to Congress in the way of improvement of the Sherman anti-trust law and the legal department of the government generally. As soon as Assistant Attorney General Purdy, the principal "trust buster," returns from Europe, Mr. Bonparte will consult him in relation to the prosecution of the lumber trust, the International Harvester Company, and the soft coal trust, and the advisability of instituting a new suit against the so-called paper trust. Various facts showing violation of the law by the combinations named have been laid before the Department of Justice. In the case of the lumber and International Harvester companies it is the intention to appoint special counsel to conduct the campaign on behalf of the government. C. & C.

WE don't own an automobile, and perhaps it is well that we don't. We might not kill ourselves nor take to killing other people if we owned a red devil, but we are afraid that we would follow the prevailing custom with other owners in losing respect for slow-going humanity. The right to run a fast red devil through the city streets puts bad ideas into the heads of the occupants of the car, both young and old. Watch them and see. Their honk, honk, is but a screech of defiance and a jeer at plodding humanity hustling to dodge out of their way. Watch the air of superior contempt creep over the countenances of those who respect no pedestrian rights. More stringent ordinances limiting the speed of automobiles within certain city limits is an absolute public need. GET IN LINE. LAST week we published an outline of the purposes and plans of the Colorado Political Club. Practical conditions in the several large cities in this state, as they effect colored voters, are precisely what they are in Denver, and there is need in these various cities for an organization of similar character and object. Political organizations of some character may already exist in some of these cities, but there may be need that they should adopt more definite objects and more aggressive methods to secure the benefits to which the colored voters of this state are unquestionably entitled. The Colorado Statesman suggests that the voters of these cities take immediate steps either to organize an aggressive club or to put those that they already have upon a cooperative basis in touch with the Colorado Political Club, and it would be most favorable to all concerned if they would adopt the name and purposes of the Denver organization. Then let us have a state conference of the representatives of these clubs and decide upon policies to be followed by the various organizations in the effort to gain a better standing for colored voters in political affairs, as well as policies by which a greater interest and a larger vote may be assured. If active individuals who understand the situation and appreciate the effort we are making will make a personal call upon their acquaintances and spread the idea, it should be easy to get these local branches in working order. No matter how small the beginning, the objects are worthy of a determined effort, and the idea of a state organization should lend prestige to local movements. Let our trustworthy, unpurehasable men and women take the lead and let all selfishness and all narrow ambition and scheming for perosnal honors be dropped. Let us have such an organization in Colorado which will compel notice and permanent respect, and let us agree upon spokesmen and other representatives. This thing can be done, so let us get in line. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AFRICA. UNDOUBTEDLY Africa is a field that tries every faith under the sun; and accounts agree that everything that is tried in Africa is tried squarely under the sun. Several of the prominent Christian sects or denominations have posts or missions in various parts of Africa, and the cost at which they are maintained probably is not very well understood throughout Christianity's more favored parts of the world. The cost is not so much in money as it is in personal sacrifice. The protestant branches of the church (white) maintain mission churches or posts in a few places, but their greatest efforts seem to be expended in maintaining missionaries who preach and minister directly to the personal needs of the natives, so far as their knowledge and means enable them. The practical results of preaching to heathen, who seem to readily fall in with any doctrine which carries an immediate bodily benefit along with it, may never have been measured, but we have reason to doubt that the measure would justify the faith of the denominations sending out these missionaries. The work of Catholic missions, however, seems to be most practical in Africa, as it always has been in new countries and among aboriginal tribes especially. These Catholic missions are conducted not so much by priests who preach to adult natives, as by Sisters of Catholic orders, who establish schools for native children, and who not only inculcate in them the principles of the Catholic church, but who clothe and keep them and care for them in every way. Hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of little African boys and girls are being changed from heathen into civilized men and women in this way. The process is longer, more difficult, more tedious and more dangerous than that generally followed by protestants, but the results are far more sure and of far greater practical value. Nowhere on earth, among civilized or heathen, is there a general absence of religious ideas or faith. The heathen has his gods, his well-fixed belief and his manner of devotion. It is therefore through the young that the greatest, most sincere and most permanent changes may be wrought, and this truth seems to have been fully recognized by the Catholic church throughout all of its existence. But only those who have some idea of the conditions existing in the African coast countries can begin to understand the double sacrifices which these Catholic women make in order to carry on the work to which they nevertheless so willingly devote themselves. Having already given us all social and domestic relations and taken the obligation of single devotion to the work of the church among the world's poor and needy, they also sacrifice the haunts of civilization, face the dangers and the hardships of the hot, steaming, swampy coast countries and calmly choose to settle themselves there for life, short or long, and starve and struggle to maintain and keep the schools and redeem the children entrusted to their care. Four or five women thus keep and educate and rear from 100 to 200 children. The only thing in their favor is the fact that some kind of civil or military authority has been established before the institution of their missions, but this, too, is on the side of practical results and common sense. Their danger or their sacrifice is not materially lessened by that fact. Many of them die at their posts, but their places are quickly filled. A mission of this kind at Old Calabar, southern Nigeria, on the west coast of Africa, between Lagos and the Congo, is described by Richard Harding Davis, the well known author, in Collier's Weekly of September 7th, who asks charitable Americans to send helpful mites by postal money order to Marie T. Martin, the Reverend Mother Superior of the Catholic Mission of Old Calabar, Southern Nigeria. Here 150 children are being taught and clothed, and this in an English protestant town, must represent only a small portion of the work which doubtless is carried on in the possessions of Catholic countries like Portugal, Belgium and Spain. Pageantry and How It Has Come Into Being By LOUI5 N. PARKER. Originator of the Historical Performance. A. H. In 1904 the people of Sherborne, in Dorsetshire, realized that the following year would be the twelfth centenary of the founding of the bishopric, school and town, and they asked me whether a folk-play might not be a novel way of celebrating this historic event. I fell in with the suggestion all the more readily as I had always wished to organize such a performance in the ruins of Sherborne Castle. We began very modestly, but we ended with over 900 performers and audiences totaling 50,000. Thus pageantry was invented. Once, in speaking of the necessary qualifications for the actors in a pageant, I remarked: "All we require is a childlike heart." I find it is by no means limited to the performers, for even when the pageant is produced everyone wants to know how it is done in exactly the same way as, when children are taken to see a conjurer, they want to find out just how he makes two guiena-pigs out of an omelette, and how two rabbits can be rubbed together to make only one. In the old days there used to be hidden things and Eleusinian mysteries, but to-day the heart must be plucked out of every mystery and laid, still beating and palpitating, for the curious to gaze on. As it is part of life that the minority must bow before the will of the majority, so it is that, in deference to the greater force, I have brought myself to tell how a pageant is managed so that the 2,000 and more performers who take part in these festivals are kept within bounds and work together to produce a result which has, with justice, been admitted to be an artistic whole. Perhaps I ought to say, in the language of the conjurer, "it is all done by long practice and sleight-of-hand." Long practice it certainly does need, for it is not the actual week of the pageant that matters. It is the preceding year which is devoted to studying the history of the town, consulting authorities, designing, contriving, cutting out, sewing, sawing, glueing, hammering. It is the discovery of unsuspected talent, of dormant gifts among the citizens that matters; it is the dragging into life of those multitudinous gifts and talents that is the valuable thing. For six weeks before a pageant begins I am in residence in the pageant town. Long before then the book has been written, the cast fixed, and all the preparations made. After a week of preliminary arrangements the rehearsals begin in grim earnest—going on from early morning until late at night, with special rehearsals of such individuals as choose t come to me for coaching at their own convenience. All the performers are always so keen that, though the work is long, it does not involve any trouble. For three weeks rehearsals go on in private, by which time the actors have become so thoroughly used to their parts that they are able to go through them with absolute accuracy, and we can begin to have rehearsals in public. How admirably the actors prepare themselves may be judged from the fact that the first public rehearsal usually takes only ten minutes longer than the actual performance itself. On the top of the grand stand there is erected a little penthouse, with a single chair in it and a table in front of it. Fixed to the table are a dozen electric-bells, which ring in each of the 12 entrances erected at different parts of the lawn which does duty for the stage. There is thus not much of an intricate nature in the arrangements, which, however, need careful attention all the time, and that purposeful concentration of effort which is essential for the smooth evolution of all stage performances—with this special difference, that the actors are not grouped together under the hand, as it were, of the stage director, but are scattered all over a large area of ground, out of carshot and out of the reach of the summons of the call-boy. Natural and Pampered Appetites By DR. C. W. SALEEBY. Natural and Pampered Appetites By DR. C. W. SALEEBY. Those of us who think nature shows signs of wisdom are not so ready as some others are to look upon the appetite as a gross symptom of our animal nature best thwarted and suppressed whenever possible. We do not think it probable that nature has had so little sense. If, then, we find that civilized man's appetite is leading him astray, and that the same is true of children, we are inclined to ask whether there has not been some lack of wisdom in ourselves in our treatment of it. And this undoubtedly is so. It is the systematic practice of civilized people to thwart, pervert, defy, and then abuse their appetites—with lamentable consequences. Let me briefly describe what this admirable guide of ours will do for us if it be given a chance. The appetite of the properly brought up child is invaluable. A child needs a great deal of sugar, and if its appetite for this substance be regarded as reasonable and not a symptom of original sin, the child will take just so much sugar as it needs, neither more nor less, and will not gorge itself with sweets when it gets a chance. In adult life, if the appetite be not cheated by the cook, it is our constant mentor, and guide, and friend. When we are taking much exercise it is abundant; when we take little exercise it diminishes, as it should. As old age comes on much less food is required, and appetite correspondingly diminishes. In short, at every period of life and in all circumstances, a properly respected appetite will guide us in the fashion for which appetite was designed. But we are much too clever to be run by our instincts, are we not? We deprive the child of the sugar which it craves, and then find it a little nuisance and a pig because it makes itself ill with sweets. It is we who should be scolded and should squirm. When our appetites fail we never dream of asking ourselves whether this is a morbid failure, due to illness, or is a normal diminution, telling us that we do not need food at present, or that we are not in a fit state at the moment to digest it. When warm weather comes most of us use every device of cookery in order to produce an artificial appetite, which we then will satisfy. Thereafter we will complain of the heat. But, since we have just piled unnecessary fuel on the furnace, can we wonder that we find hot weather oppressive? Then, as the years go on and we obtain more leisure and free cash, perhaps, we are liable to devote ourselves more and more to the pleasures of the table, seeking ever new devices to promote that hunger which is the best sauce—the sauce which all other sauces are designed to produce. All doctors know the results. SAY? WHAT! LISTEN. HONEST? YES SIR. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Damon Lodge No. K. of P. WILL GIVE THE FIRST Damon Lodge No. 5. K. of P.

A ROYAL TIME The Colorado Political Club, an organization of colored voters, gave its initial entertainment last Monday night at its spacious headquarters at 1712 Curtis street known as Odd Fellows' hall. The membership of this body, although in its infancy, has already risen far above the 200 mark, and new applications are constantly pouring in. This first general meeting was a notable success. It embraced merely the members and a few others who were known to be in sympathy and harmony with the aims and purposes of the club. These objects are set forth in the constitution, and were read to the audience, which numbered about 300 of our most intelligent and progressive citizens. An interesting program of music, recitations and speeches was well rendered and enthusiastically received. A. J. Fitzpatrick, the president, in a few well chosen words, announced the object and scope of the meeting, which seemed to meet the cordial approval of all. The speaker of the evening was Lawyer J. H. Stuart. He heartily commended the club on the scope and objects of its mission as set forth in its constitution. The keynote of his eloquent and highly practical address was the necessity for organization and unity among our people as a condition of commanding the respect and attention of the dominant race, and securing the just recognition to which we are entitled in virtue of our voting strength and party loyalty. As this first meeting was not strictly political, M. Stuart in the limited time allowed him touched on various subjects connected with the race's welfare. He directed attention particularly to the fact, which he has the best opportunity of knowing, that our people are purchasing more homes this year in Denver than during any other period of four years. He showed that the occasion was opportune and inspiring, as it incidentally commemorated the forty-fifth anniversary of President Lincoln's conditional emancipation proclamation. He closed by showing that though no political campaign was at hand, the maxim, "In time of peace prepare for war," also applies with equal force to politics. At the close of the program light refreshments of ice cream and cake were served and everybody felt like saying it was good to be there. Prof. Easley's orchestra enlivened the occasion with choice selections of music. Millinery Opening. Mrs Esther H. Morris will hold a special display of millinery at her residence 2953 Stout street, Thursday evening, October 3rd. A beautiful hat will be given away on that occasion. Local Notices.

Washington.—The Lapps are decreasing in number. The most sanguine estimate of the numbers of the entire race in Norway, Sweden and Russia does not place them above 54,000. By some the number is placed far lower on the strength of trustworthy data. In Norbotten, the number of Lapps is 3,000, of whom 2,500 are nomad Lapps and 500 settled, since, a certain number of Lapp families have abandoned their wandering habits, have built habitations here and there, and have endeavored, with more or less success, to imitate the life of the Swedish settler. That the race must die out eventually is certain, and its diminution may be very speedy, though its complete extinction may be still far off, since there is no race that can possibly take its place on the high reindeer fjaell. Yet even here we come upon a factor which has, perhaps, hardly been reckoned with. We mean the decrease of the herds of tame reindeer. This has been going on in the last quarter of a century with striking rapidity. In one district alone in the last 12 years the reindeer have diminished from an estimated 30,000 to an estimated 7,000. This decrease is explained variously. The commonest and most plausible explanation which carries the authority of men well qualified to judge, is that the demand for reindeer flesh, which has been brought nearer to the Lapp by the opening of the Bohemian railway, has tempted them to part with the deer at a rate too rapid for their production. The herds of reindeer, which are taken off the high jaffell down to their winter quarters, are now within four or five days of Stockholm, and there is a good demand for reindeer flesh. It is said that the Lapp, who is no more able to resist strong drink than any other half-civilized man, is plied freely with brandy, and in that state will part with his reindeer for a trifling sum, or even for a fresh bottle of spirits or two. And he goes back to his fjaell stripped of half his herd, and with nothing to show for it. But there is another cause also alleged, and that by equally good authorities. It is said that Swedish state education is having upon the Lapp the effect which not uncommonly follows the early stages of learning. Every autumn Swedes and Lapps alike send down their children to the nearest national school, where they remain for the winter months, the Lapps in most cases having "seminaries" to themselves. And it is declared that in the case of both races alike, after a few years of this training, the youngest generation, when it comes to the age of choosing its way of life, shows an unwillingness to return to the hard outdoor life of the homes in the interior. FLYING LEAP RESTORES MIND Plucky Man Bandages Broken Leg and Seeks Succor. Joplin, Mo.—His reason restored by a leap from a flying train that broke his leg Fred Dubois, of Grove, I. T., bandaged the member in weed splints and crawled two miles to a farmhouse, eight miles south of here. He was removed to a hospital here and will recover. Dubois, accompanied by three brothers, was returning from Texas, where he had shown pronounced symptoms of insanity, and, evading his brothers, he rushed to a car platform and jumped off six miles south of Joplin while the train was running at a high speed. The train was stopped, but the brothers could not find Dubois. It was 24 hours later when he found refuge at the farmhouse, and during that time a terrific storm had prevailed, drenching him as he lay on the ground. Dubois, after his jump, regained reason. He cut away his trouser's leg at the knee, cut some stiff weeds and wrapped the cloth around them as a splint. Then he bound both legs together with his suspenders to better stiffen the broken member, and began his toilsome crawl to succor. He did not remember leaving his brothers on the train, nor having jumped from it. The skill he showed in splinting the injured leg is the marvel of attending physicians. 2,008 EGGS IN SIX MONTHS. Delaware Man Does Well with Twenty- Five Hens. Dover, Del.—Alexander Minner, secretary of the council of Bower's Beach, is an expert poultryman and has kept a systematic record of what his hens were doing since January 1. He selected 25 hens, provided trap nests and watched what this little pen of hens would do when properly fed and watered. For the first six months of the year they laid 2,008 eggs. Ten per cent of these eggs were saved for hatching purposes and the residue brought cash prices at the stores. After counting out all cost of feed, attention and housing, Mr. Minner finds that he has the original 25 hens, 188 young chickens and $23.88 in his cash box. ```markdown ``` SO STRAIGHTENKS KINKY or CURLY HAIR that it can be put up in any style.

The tourist from Cincinnati jolled back his copious girth in the tux stool of the Tokio tea house, while through the carven latticework the tinkle of a samisen came in alluring cadence over an expanse of stunted pine, wistaria and fairy lakes. "This is all to the Pierre Lott!" he mused. "And yonder comes a dalty geisha girl to take my order. I will speak to her in the poetry of the land. "Ah, O Mimosa San, I swear by the white crest of the mountain Fujiyama that you love, that—" "Oh, fudge!" said the geisha girl in limpid English. "I've just graduated from Barnard college, and I prefer the Pallasas or the Catskills." Then to the kitchen she ordered. "Draw one!" "Ah," said the tourist, in a hurt tone of voice, "I thought you were one of the poetic creature's made famous by Lafcadio Hearn." "Who was he." asked the Jap maiden, with polite interest. "Seems to me I've heard of him, but I'm reading Huxley and Emerson just now." Listening again, the tourist discovered that the tinkle of the samisen was only the sound from the shuttles of a cotton mill. Scheduled All Real Estate Scheduled At Real Estate.

First Bessemer Steel Rail. The first Bessemer steel rail ever laid down was at Derby, England, in 1857.

Reed sometimes evolved complicated jokes, but this one of Gov. La Follette's is as roundabout as any of his. "I saw him," he said, referring to one of his political opponents who is noted for his occasional eccentricity, "sitting in in his back yard in a wagon box which rested on the ground, quite unattached to anything. But yet he was quite ready for a drive." "How?" asked a friend. "If he had no animal and the wagon had no wheels, how——" "O," said La Follette, "the last election was a horse on him, and he has wheels in his head quite handy."—Judge.

A., Denver, Cole PROPRIETARY REMEDIES VS, PHYSICIANS’ PRESCRIPTIONS The press committee of the Proprie- tary Association of America will pre- sent at the next meeting of that body a report showing the number of acci- dental deaths caused by patent medi- cines in the two years ending June 30, 1907, as compared with deaths from other causes. Almost immediately after the begin- ning of the latest crusade against proprietary medicines this committee was instructed to collect data. This work was done through the clipping bureaus, which furnished accounts of all deaths, exclusive of suicide, due to the misuse of medicines, drugs or poisons. ‘The result showed that only three per cent. could be traced di- rectly to the products made by the members of the association. The greatest care is said to have been exercised in tabulating the fig- ures received. Whenever the cause of death was doubtful, special inves- tigation was made, no matter where the case might have occurred. The work of assorting and preparing the record was done in Chicago, and the original clippings and correspondence are in the possession of Ervin F. Kemp, 184 La Salle street; that ‘city, the association’s publicity agent. The report says, in part: “A large number of accidents, re- sulting fatally or otherwise, were caused: by the carelessness of persons who left drugs, medicines or poisons within the reach of children. A large number, also, were caused by persons going to medicine cabinets in the dark and taking down the wrong bottle. In no case reported was any medicine, ‘patent’ or otherwise, held responsible for injury or death except when left within the reach of children or taken or administered in gross overdose.” The committee says that it is un- likely that any cases of death from the use of patent medicine escaped the newspapers, but that it is prob- able that death from the causes tabu- lated did occur without receiving pub- licity. Physicians, of ‘course, report the causes of death. The committee says that they would be the last to suppress the cause if due to the use of medicine not reqularly prescribed. A recapitulation of the committee's findings show 4,295 cases of poisoning, of which 1,753 were fatal. The great. est number of cases, 1,636, with 803 deaths, is attributed to medicines other than proprietary remedies, There are on the list 90 cases of sick- ness and 43 deaths due to patent medi- cines, Analyzing its statistics, the commit. tee finds 201 cases of sickness, with 143 deaths, due to strychnine tablets, which are among physicians’ fayorite remedies and are often left within the reach of children, Under the head of miscellaneous prescriptions are grouped 44 cases where, the report says, it has been im- possible after diligent inquiry to as- certain the name or the character of the drug or medicine which caused in- Jury or death, beyond the fact that the medicine or drug was prescribed by a physician. Of these cases 18 Were fatal. The committee says: “Under the head of ‘All Patent Medicines’ are grouped all those rem- edies which are recognized as patent medicines and which are advertised direct to the public for internal use. Competent authorities say that at least one-half of the medicines taken In the United States are of the kind known as ‘patent medicine, and yet in two years among 80,000,000 people there have been but ninety cases (forty-three fatal) that have been re- ported in the newspapers from the use or misuse of these remedies,” Not in a single fully substantiated case is it ever charged that any pat- ent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. In this connection it should be-understood that in making death certificates and in reporting cases of injury to the newspapers from which these cases were secured, a physician had the final word, and in this connection is there any prob- ability that the doctor will hide his own carelessness or neglect or that of a fellow practitioner whose support he may want at some time, and 1s there even a possibility that he might hide any responsibility that could be thrown at a patent medicine? Ask yourself these questions. Then when you have found the answer, consider that during all this most thorough and careful investigation covering a period of two years, in not a single established case was it shown that patent medicine in recommended doses was injurious. ‘The most remarkable case reported was that of an Italian laborer in New York who suffered from pains in the chest. A physician ordered a porous plaster which the patient ate, with Seg era New Method of Cutting Steel. A new method of cutting steel {a said to have been patented by a Bel- gian engineer. The process consists in first heating the metal by means of an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut- ting it by a small stream of oxygen gas, which unites with the steel and forms a fusible oxide, which flows freely from the cut. It is said that the cut is fully as smooth as that made by the saw, and is only 1-100 inch wide. Sufficient Happiness.

Colored Witness at Least Was Aware of Its Pecuniary Worth. Clarence 8. Darrow, the well known lawyer and essayist, discussing the Haywood trial, in which he played so prominent a part, said the other day: “Some of the evidence in that trial ‘was so transparently false that it re- minds me of a case that came off in Alabama a few years back. One of the witnesses in this case was an ex- tremely ignorant man. As his testi- mony progressed, his ignorance be- came so shockingly evident that the Judge, looking sternly down at him said: “Look here, sir, are you acquaint- ed with the value of an oath?’ “The witness answered anxiously: “‘Jedge, I hope I am. That thar lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dol- lars to swiar agin the other side. ‘Thet's the correck value of an oath, ain't it, jedge?"” Wear ‘Palamas on. Cars. “T learned something from the por ter on our train this morning,” said a hotel guest. “I noticed him pick up the coat to a pair of pajamas while he ‘was making up one of the berths. Whoever had occupied the berth had got off the train, evidently, and left the garment behind. ‘Forgot part of his nightie, eh?’ says I to the porter, The porter grinned broadly. ‘Wasn't any his about it, boss,’ he says. ‘It war a lady that was in that berth las’ night. Yes, sah. Lots of 'em seems to like them to weah on the cahs. I guess they thinks they’s better in case of a wreck or sump'n like that.” A Strenuous Hint. It was growing very late, but the young man in the parlor scene showed no signs of making a home run. “You evidently have a very vivid imagination, Mr. Borem,” said the dear girl, as she made an unsuccessful attempt to strangle a yawn. “Why do you think so?” queried the unsuspecting Borem. “I thought perhaps you imagined yourself in the Arctic regions, where the nights are six months long,” she explained. And 30 seconds later he had faded into the glumpsome gloom. Duaald’s Explanation. Staying at an inn in Scotland a shooting party found their sport much interfered with by rain. Still, wet or fine, the old-fashioned barometer that hung in the hall persistently pointed to “set fair.” At length one of the party drew the landlord's attention to the glass, saying: “Don't you think now, Dugald, there's something the matter with your glass?” “No, sir,” replied Dugald, with dignity; “she’s a gude glass and a powerful glass, but she’s no’ moyed wi’ trifles.” PUTS THE “GINGER” IN. ‘The Kind of Food Used by Athletes. A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His exper'- ence with a change in food is interest. ing. “While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily ‘jogs’ be- came a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. “I trained for the mile and the half mile runs (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily ‘fogs,’ which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. “The Grape-Nuts food put me in per- fect condition and gave me my ‘ginger.’ Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and my weight in- creased, but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time for- merly required, Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts for they have learned its value, but 1 think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can be ob- tained.” ‘There’s a reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain, The certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for re- building the brain and nerve centres. ‘The product {s then carefully and sclentifically prepared so as to make it easy of digestion.

He—” “Hold on a minute,” said the judge. “You say he never bet on a horse?” “That's what I said, your honor.” “Never was known to play a game?” “Never your honor.” “And he never drank liquor?” “Never drank a drop, your honor.” “And he didn’t chew tobacco?” “Never took a chew in his life.” “Well, then,” said the judge, “I don't see what he wanted to live for. ‘There wasn’t anything in life for him, and I don't see why he ain't about as well off dead as alive. Release the prisoner, Mr. Sheriff, and call the next case.” FIFTEEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep— Hands, Arms and Legs Affected —Cuticura Cured in 6 Days. “I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affected parts were my hands, arms and legs. They were the worst in the winter time, and were always itchy, and I could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all the time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me but they could not give me a permanent cure nor even could they stop the itch- ing. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I neyer felt better in my life than I do now.

XX Ny ai ah tl er TLL OO 2 IPE FRE (PKA res, eh 9ER SHADE OF VELVEZ The American woman fortunately is independent enough to choose her costumes for constant wear with a thought for comfort, and any fashion which does not so contribute to her happiness has small chance of suc- cess. By costumes for constant wear, day gowns and walking and carriage costume are referred to. Evening gowns are a different matter, for ap- pearance rather than comfort is sought in such robes, and what is comfort compared with a striking toilette that need be endured for a few hours only at a time. There will, of course, be many short coats, even Etons, shown in winter costumes, and the pony cut, so effective on certain figures in the coat, not the so-called Jacket model, will be seen in winter walking and carriage costumes, but the long coats “will be the favored model. Last winter a few French models showed long coats and this winter the fashion will be general. At : tte Y 1 Ao Y AB NE " : oo . Be’, Afternoon Gown, che present moment the three-quarter coats promise to be the most worn. ‘The coat coming to within six inches of the edge of the skirt makes a most comfortable walking costume, and for carriage wear a trailing gown with a very long coat elaboraely trimmed is always effective. Velvet and lace coats with fine cloth gowns are charm- ing for carriage year when one is go- ing to a reception or a bridge party. In sleeves the wrinkled mousque- taire will be much in eyidence, for a time at least, on new gowns, and the coats for cold weather will have full: ‘length sleeves, and these will find fa- vor, as they are sensible and the only comfortable mode when biting winds rage. No matter what the size of one’s muff, there is more or less exposure of the wrists and consequent chill with the three-quarter or half-length sleeve. Wor warm weather they are ideal, cool, sud also pretty, so they will probably come in again for next spring and summer. ‘The new plum and purple shades are to be the leading colors for some weeks to come, but it will not be long before they will be common, and some- thing eise will take their place in the | wardrobes of the modish world. Many of the plum shades are well suited to the average complexion among both the younger and the older women. ‘There is no more becoming color to women of clear complexions than pur- ple, and certainly no color whieh, in combination with either white or black, gives such distinguished effects. There are two distinct shades of pur- ple which are equally fashionable this season—the pure eveque and theshade which combines eveque and prune. ‘The former is the more generally be- coming, but, for those who calf suc- cessfully wear it, the latter is the more attractive, ‘The charm of a purple filet net vell —the large veil which has a folded edge of tulle and above this a narrow design Carried out in chenil peas— needs no emphasis. With pure white costumes, vells of this genre look emi- nently distinguished, especially when they are worn with cloche hats car- ried out entirely in the same shade of purple. Browns will be worn in all shades, but it is to be hoped that better taste will be shown in the future than in the past in adopting the various shades, for no color is more try- ing when { is pot carefully se- lected to harmonize with one’s. color. ing. The dominant shade of the hair should be matched; it may be in a lighter hue, but reddish brown should be worn with golden or wood-brown hair. The yellowish browns for golden brown hair, clear, dull wood browns for lifeless brown hair, and so on through the list, should be the rule. Becoming as the long skirt is, it will never gain the sway here that it had abroad. American women are too active, too various in their pur suits, to adopt long sweeping skirts for day wear, save for reception and other formal robes. For them the round skirt just clearing the floor is the best model of all. It is formal enough for a handsome reception gown and informal enough for a walking costume that may be worn on the same afternoon to shop in and to at tend afternoon teas. Young women prefer them. They do not require holding up unless one finds the pave ment suddenly mussy or one has to cross a street, or a puddle. The skirt that sweeps must always be held up save indoors, and even then if one chance to enter a store, unless one cares little for neatness. It is not so many years ago’ that even the woman with but one new gown a season had all her costumes made with skirts that trailed in the back at least, and that had to be held up nearly everywhere she went, sim: ply because women of wealth who traveled in their own private equip: ages only wore skirts of that length Short skirts, and decidedly. short ones at that, are the only proper length for winter walking gowns, that is for gowns intended, for street weat exclusively, and one may call on one’s friends, when one is walking as wel as when one is driving. No matter what the latest Parisian decree may be anent the length of skirts, the American woman will not give up her short walking skirt. While long sleeves will be the proper length fo1 day wear in both gowns, blouses an¢ coats the coming winter, most of the theater blouses have elbow length sleeves. However, the woman witt thin or ugly arms should adopt the long sleeve as soon and as completely as possible. $11,500 of the Frisco Strike COUNTERMANDED SHOES They were made to sell at $3.50, $4 and $5 You Know Our Price Boe { 2 50) No more | Bor Men i e NOLESS J Women Over 200 Styles of Women’s Shoes and Oxfords and 170 Styles of Men’s Shoes and Oxfords.

Americans as well as Europeans who know her express delight at the good fortune of Princess Henry of Pless in inheriting, with her husband, $20,000,000, a comfortable addition to their modest fortune. The money is derived by the popular couple from the estate of the duke of Pless, whom nobody on this side of the water knew well, and who had few friends even in England. Princess Henry, on the other hand, gained the hearts of many as Daisy West. It was by that name she was known to most of her ac- quaintances before her marriage, though in strict formality she was’ Miss Cornwallis-West. She was be- throthed to Prince Henry at the end of her first season in society. The duke of Pless lived a life of almost feudal formality at Furstenstein, their splendid Renaissance castle in the borders of Bavaria. It must have re- quized, indeed, power of adaptability in an English girl to take up the posi- tion of a sort of queen among the peasantry there, driving about mag- nificently in a carriage drawn by Arab grays, ridden by postillions in claret- colored coats and white beaver hats. Still, Princess Henry has made the life at Furstenstein quite pleasantly informal, and most of the time is spent, when she entertains English or German friends there, in riding or driving in the beautiful woods or val- leys near. Prince and Princess Henry of Pless spend a good deal of the year in London, and they are oftener over in England for the Cowes week. Their little son was baptized in London two years ago, it may be remembered. ‘The queen stood sponsor, and’ the ceremony was a splendid affair. Breaking It to Him. “Doctor, I suppose I’m an old fool, I have made a discovery that gives me some uneasiness.” “What is it, Kadger?” “I was passing my hand over my head the other day, and I found one place that's a good ‘deal hotter than any other spot. I thought it was all imagination at first, but it isn’t. Put yonr hand on the top of my head, prétty well back. There, that’s the place. Doesn't it feel hotter than the rest of my head?” “It certainly does.” “Well, now, I am anxious to know what that means. If it indicates that there’s too much brain pressure at that particular spot, I wunt to know it. Is it serious?” “Kadger, it is.” “I feared so. Tell me the truth, doctor, no matter what it is. “I hasitate to tell you, because—” “Doctor, I insist on knowing.” “Well, if you must knnow, Kadger, that particular place on your head feels hot to your hand because you're getting a bald spot there.” Advice Discounted. Senator Burrows was asked for ad- vice recently by a newspaper corre- spondent. He gave the advice, but afterward, smiling and shaking his head, he said: “Advice is a thing I am always chary about extending. It is, -you know, s0 cheap, so easy. “A boy, the other day, was push- ing a heavy push cart up a hill. ‘The hill was steep, the boy thin. He bent forward at the work till he was al- most horizontal. “Hi, boy,’ called an old man, ‘push the cart up the hill zigzag, from side to side, and you'll find it will go easier” “The boy snarled back: ““Not so much o’ yer darn advice. Give us a shove.” ‘Mow .ita (Cleans Marble: For the marble washstand try rub- bing with lemon juice first to remove stains.

Liar. He adored her, but his pride was very great. “Elsie,” he faltered, “do you love me?” Above the boom of the sea her rales sounded clear and cold. “No,” she said. “No, Mr. Manner- ing.” He laughed unpleasantly. “Well,” he said, “I feared you did, that was all, and I just wanted to warn you that I am already engaged.” Quite the Reverse. “Here,” said Towne, “is a rather élever little book—Don'ts for Club- men.” “I don’t see anything in that,” re- marked Browne; “it isn't the ‘don'ts’ that worry clubmen, it's the dues.”— Philadelphia Press.
