LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY IN DIXIE Is Where Mob Rule Always Holds Only and Surest Cure Dose of Its Is Where Mob Rule Always Holds Sway Over Law and Order. The Only and Surest Cure for Mob Law is a Good Dose of Its Own Medicine. They've been shooting down South. They are always doing something like that down there. Negroes and whites alike go off on these interesting and usually fatal expeditions. But there is a difference in the results generally. When a bad white man gets a belly full of rot gut rum and his hands on a gun, he makes for the defenceless Negroes and proceeds to shoot some, all for fun. The Negro seldom shoots unless he is defending himself and his family against the invasion of the white toughs who think it hearty sport to arouse a Negro from his bed and fill him full of lead. Two murderous assaults were made on colored people last week. At Vera, in Louisiana, six Negroes were shot and wounded, by white saw mill employees who were dissatisfied with labor conditions. To the rules of the employing company the white laborers objected; on the other hand the colored laborers accepted them. This acceptance incensed the whites, who, instead of shooting those who made the rules, took it out on the Negroes, burning their homes and driving over a hundred from the village. Mr. Blanchard has "acknowledged receipt" of the information of the event. And so the white South goes on in its murderous work, unchecked by those in authority; undenounced by the leaders of those whom they murder at will. The Clarksdale affray ended just as one who is acquainted with Mississippi Negroes might have experted. The Negro in that state always dies game and in the latest performance none died at all. The other man hit the dust. It appears that three white men armed themselves and "tanked up" preparatory to teaching a lesson in manners to two Negroes who had "sassed" them. They got taught, and at this writing one is telling his lessons to the angels. It may be the other has joined his compatriot in glory by this time. The whole story is now history. The Coleman boys, like Robert Charles, have done much against mob rule in the South. Indeed the fire of the mob must ever be fought with fire. In those sections of the South where some brave Negro has lifted his Winchester against the mob, whether of three or a hundred, the colored people have some peaceful moment. --- VOL. XIV. Sway Over Law and Order. The for Mob Law is a Good Own Medicine. But when and where will this thing stop? Or will it ever stop this side of a sure enough struggle the contemplation of the results of which are apalling. But something must be done ere we are plunged into a bitter and fatal strife.—Charleston Advocate. NEGRO LYNCHED. Brookhaven, Miss., Feb. 10—Eli Pigot, a Negro, who attacked Miss Williams in this country a few weeks ago, was taken from the custody of a Jackson milliary company and a posse of deputies and hanged early to day. The military company was overpowered by a mob of more than 2,000 citizens. A number of shots were fired and two members of the mob were wounded. Pigot was to have been tried today for his crime. The prisoner reached Brookhaven from Jackson in custody of Sheriff Frank Greer, and under the armed escort of the Capital Light guards, ordered into service by Governor Noel to protect the Negro during the trial. When the soldiers and Negro alighted from the train the mob surged around and a fierce hand to-hand fight ensued, in which fists were freely used. The soldiers clubbed the members of the mob with their guns. The fight lasted five minutes and the military started with the prisoner to the court house, when the mob, reinforsed and reorganized, made another attack, secured the prisoner, dragged him to a telegraph pole and hanged him. Captain A. L. Sairley, who commanded the Jackson company, has reported the affair to the governor and is now awaiting orders. Bishop Potter, who knocked Southern tradition into a cocked hat several months ago, in Richmond, Va., by entertaining colored Bishop Ferguson at dinner in his temporary home, has started an innovation in the art of entertaining his congregation in his church in New York City. No Italian tenors and Spanish sopranos for the Bishop. He is tired of string bands concealed behind clusters of palms What he wants—and is going to get is a quartet of Southern Negroes to sing good, oldfashioned plantation melodies and rag-time songs.

When a Northern man visits the South and asks to be shown how the Negro lives, he is immediately shown the slums and dives where the worst element of the race inhabits. The good people who form a large majority, are kept in the background, their intellectual qualities, business enterprises, thrift and law-abiding dispositions are never allowed an advantageous hearing. Here in our city our newspapers continually hold up public attention to "the bad Negroes of Jackson Ward," when writing concerning the Negro, just as if that portion of the city so designated is inhabited alone by Negroes.

He is right on every great question he discusses. He is not only right but he is courageously, aggressively right. He is farsighted.

This is a very accurate estimate of the eminent Kentuckian, and gives additional weight to his magnificient speech on the race question at the epoch-making Tuskegee meeting in New York on the 17th of January. Henry Watterson is the South's most progressive exponent tcday, and his level-headed conclusions on every great problem deserve prayerful consideration. ON Entertainer A. Evening, February 24th. Paul Laurence Dunbar. As for Negro journals, precious few of them have trained forces. The editor is expected to perform all duties from tripod to the glue pot; is expected to turn out a very decent and commendable journal and usually by those who sometimes find themselves in possession of an overplus of 15 cents for which they can not account and decide to let it go on their paper bills. To be brought up to points of both literary and mechanical excellence, NO. 22. the Negro newspaper must be supported—not in half-hearted fashion but consistently.

Chicago.—Special.—Rube Foster, the crack pitcher of the Leeland Giants, is spending the winter in Cuba twirling for the Havana team. During a recent game on the island between the Havanas and Almendares Rube was beaten 4 to 3, in which two home runs off the colored pitcher turned the tide of battle. In fact he was hit harder than Chicago fans are accustomed to see. Not in the number, but in the equality, and not once did the great Foster fan a batter. He pitched against Ortega in this particular game, and, according to the Havana Daily Post, was outclassed. The crowd 7,500, went wild when it saw the noted Chicago twirler driven out of the box. Foster had for his receiver a player named Garcia. Shortstop was anchored down by one Bustamante. Nothing could get through him. AFRIC'S REPLY TO SAXON AFRIC'S REPLY TO SAXON "How came we here, you often ask, Just listen, Sir, you know How Saxon, proud, to Afric went Three centuries ago, And found there clothed in nature's garb, Tranquil, docile and free, A being low in ignorance And dark idolitry. Amazed at first, the Saxon soon, His wits together got, He scanned the stately Zulu brave And muscled Hotentot; And then a plan of action found, (A plan all of us know,) By which a race was plunged into A life of toil and woe. Two hundred years and forty-six Did we in sun and shower, Without one thought of recompense, Toil for a stronger power. The forest yielded to our strength. The swamp land and the prairie, Were made to blossom as the rose, And still we were not weary. But now you ask "how came we here." After all these years of labor, Have we not proved that we are men And fit to be your neighbor? Our blood, your battle fields has drenched, Our bones, your land made fertile; Our labor 'round your homes has twined, Green ivy and sweet myrtle. Upon that flag for which we fought No star of justice shone, Aad oft the stripes brought pain and doath, Into our humble home; Yet in the thickest of the fight We held Old Glory firm, And never into foeman's hand Did we the colors turn. So ask no more "how came we here," Nor when we shall depart; Pray God, to open wide your eyes, And purge your calloused heart; So never shall there cause be found, This side old ocean's waves, For us to be called immigrants, Vile murderers or slaves.

Mr. Ellis is one of those pests, and during a walk abroad the other morning he paused in astonishment outside a friend's house. Before it stood three huge moving vans, the lawn was almost covered with articles of furniture of various kinds—pictures, wardrobes and china. And there was his old friend Hills, begrimed and weary, and ill-tempered, directing operations in his shirt sleeves. "What, Hills," exclaimed Mr. Ellis, "are you moving?" "Not at all—not at all," snapped Hills, with elaborate sarcasm. "I am taking my furniture out for a ride!" His Discovery. "Have they ever discovered perpetual motion, pa?" "I have, my boy.

Leaning over to the white-haired man at his side, evidently an old member of the congregation, he whispered: "How long has he been preaching?" "Thirty or forty years, I think," the old man answered. "I don't know exactly." "I'll stay, then," decided the stranger. "He must be nearly done."—Everybody's Magazine. $5.00 in Gold, Free.

Fearful and Wonderful Memorandum of Baltimore Cook. In the family of a former Balti- morean now residing in Providence, R. I., there is a middle-aged German woman—a relative of the family—who, though having lived in this country over a quarter of a century, has not yet thoroughly mastered the English tongue. The expressions of this relative, who keeps house for the family, sometimes afford much amusement to those unaccustomed to her peculiarly characteristic "pigeon English." Happening to visit the kitchen several days ago the head of the house discovered tacked up against the wall a crude memorandum pad. Inquiry developed the fact that it was a reminder of the day's culinary needs. This is what was written in combination English-German chirography on the little sheet: The memorandum was confiscated and sent to friends of the family in Baltimore. It is being preserved as a classic—Baltimore News. THEIR DEGREES OF HAPPINESS Marital Relations of Rural Postmasters Not All Serene. The chief clerk of the post office department at Washington recently sent to all the postmasters in the country a list of questions asking for certain information, says the New York Sun, to be used in the preparation of the government Blue Book. One of the questions in the list was, "What are your marital relations?" The object of this particular question was to find out whether the postmasters are married, single, widowed or divorced. But some of the rural postmasters did not understand, and many answers were received in which the persons addressed endeavored to give a clear and lucid explanation of the status of their married life. One postmaster briefly stated that his domestic affairs were "Fine and dandy." Another, not so fortunate, replied: "Fairly middling," while a third filled in the blank space with two words: "The worst." OF COURSE NOT. Clerk—A blind man to see you, sir. Master—Can't see me!

"In my opinion," says a well known German physician, "no one can truthfully say that coffee agrees with him, as it has long since been proven that caffeine, contained in coffee, is an injurious, poisonous substance which weakens and degenerates the heart muscles. "For this reason the regular use of coffee, soon or late, causes a condition of undernourishment, which leads to various kinds of organic disease. "Convinced of this fact, I have often sought for some healthful beverage to use instead of coffee. At last I found the thing desired in Postum. Having had occasion to forbid people using coffee, whose hearts were affected, I have recommended Postum as a beverage, since it is free from all injurious or exciting substances. I know this from results in my own family, and among patients. "Hundreds of persons who now use Postum in place of coffee, are greatly benefited thereby," "There's a Reason."

WITH PLEA FOR MERCY FOUGHT WITH COURAGE, BUT SURRENDERED BEFORE IT WAS NECESSARY. St. Petersburg. — General Stoessel was condemned to death Thursday by a military court for the surrender of Port Arthur to the Japanese. General Fock, who commanded the Fourth East Siberian division of Port Arthur, was ordered reprimanded for a disciplinary offense which was not connected with the surrender, and General Smryrnoff, acting commander of the fortress, and Major General Reiss, chief of staff to General Stoessel, were acquitted of the charges against them for lack of proof. The court recommended that the death sentence upon Lieutenant General Stoessel be commuted to ten years' imprisonment in a fortress, and that he be excluded from the service. General Voder, president of the court, read the sentences amid a tense silence. By a great effort of self-control, General Stoessel maintained rigid, soldier-like impassivity. General Smyrnoff was seemingly unmoved, but there were tears in the eyes of General Reiss. The sentence of death was pronounced upon General Stoessel, "for surrendering the fortress before all means of defense had been exhausted; for failing to enforce his authority, and for military misdemeanors." Commutation of the sentence was asked on the ground that "Port Arthur, beset by overwhelming forces, defended itself under General Stoessel's leadership with unexamplied stubbornness and filled the world with astonishment at the heroic courage of its garrisons; that several assaults had been repulsed with tremendous losses on the persistent enemy; that General Stoessel throughout the siege had maintained the heroic courage of the defenders, and finally, that he had taken energetic part in these campaigns." Before the sentence was read measures were taken to prevent a demonstration in favor of General Stoessel by a number of the younger officers and witnesses who were present. These latter sent a dispatch to the empress saying that they would humbly bear testimony that General Stoessel was the soul of the defense of Port Arthur; that he had always encouraged and put heart into the garrison, and that in case of war they would wish to serve again under General Stoessel. They asked the empress graciously to bespeak from the emperor a full pardon. There was a dramatic moment after the reading of the sentence, when a detachment of soldiers filed into the hall. The spectators, thinking that they were about to seize General Stoessel, displayed great excitement, several women fainting. It developed, however, that this was merely a guard for the dispersal of the court. General Stoessel, who was accompanied by his son, was the object of a sympathetic demonstration, friends kissing and shaking him by the hand as he left the court room leaning on his son's shoulder. A public festival is being organized by the municipality of St. Petersburg in honor of the defenders of the fortress. Shooting at Alamosa. Denver.—A Republican special from Alamosa Thursday night says: Glen Holbrook, only son of Judge C. C. Holbrook, shot and probably fatally wounded M. M. Lowther, timekeeper for the Denver & Rio Grande, in the latter's apartments on Main street this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The death of Mr. Lowther is hourly expected. In the room at the time of the shooting, when both men emptied their revolvers, was Mrs. Lowther, the pretty young wife of the wounded man, to whom, it is alleged, young Holbrook has been paying attentions for some time. Although at least ten shots were fired, only the one bullet which struck Mr. Lowther in the left groin took effect. Holbrook was inside a closet during the duel. Pike's Peak Weather Station Washington—The house committee on agriculture Thursday agreed to insert in the agricultural appropriation bill an amendment urged by Representative Cook to re-establish the weather station on the summit of Pike's Peak. The amendment provides an appropriation of $5,000 for installation of modern appliances and the salaries of three men for the first year. It is the desire of Chief Moore of the weather bureau that an appropriation of $15,000 be made next year for erecting a permanent and substantial building for this station, which he believes will be one of the most valuable in the weather service. Palmer's Ninth Park Gift Colorado Springs.—A five-acre site for a city park on East Boulder creek, close to the center of the residence district of Colorado Springs, has been tendered by Gen. W. J. Palmer to the City Council. Adjoining the park site, which was originally intended for a reservoir, is the site for the new Deaconess' hospital to be erected this summer at a cost of $55,000. The site for the hospital, which comprises four acres, was also donated by Gen. Palmer about a year ago. Each site is valued at about $20,000, and the donation of the Boulder street site makes the ninth park given to Colorado Springs by General Palmer. PASSENGERS IN PERIL. Colorado Midland Train Narrowly Escapes Fearful Disaster. Denver.—One of the most remarkable and narrow escapes from a railroad catastrophe ever recorded in this state, which probably would have eclipsed in horror any in the history of Colorado railroad wrecks, had it happened, occurred at 9 o'clock in the evening of February 17th, on the westbound Colorado Midland road as train No. 5 was rounding the famous Hell Gate between Busk and Ivanhoe. Only the presence of mind of S. B. Hopkins, a Rock Island tourist manager, who was on board, prevented the train from leaping the track at Hell Gate and falling into the canon below with its nine coaches of passengers. W. R. Armor, a former Denver man now of Salt Lake, who was on board, tells the story. The engineer stepped out of his calf for a moment on the running board of the engine to examine something. The cab door blew shut behind him, and the fireman, who had not seen him go out, thought he had lost control of the engine and jumped to save his life. He became frightened and leaped from the cab himself. The engine was running down a heavy grade and in a few moments had gained a frightful speed. Mr. Hopkins was in one of the Pullmans and, noticing the unusual speed, realized that something was wrong. He seized the emergency brake and pulled hard, bringing the train to a sudden stop just as it was rounding into Hell Gate, where the chasm is a 1,000 feet down. The engineer was found upon the engine, but the fireman was missing. The passengers instituted a search for him and after an hour's hunting he was found far back along the track with both legs broken and otherwise so injured that he was still unconscious when removed from the train to a hospital in Glenwood Springs. The passengers were so grateful that they sent a letter to the Rock Island headquarters at Chicago, commending the action of Mr. Hopkins. To Amend Sherman Law Washington.—Representative Hughes of New Jersey has introduced an amendment to the Sherman anti-trust act designed to meet the objection raised by the Supreme Court of the United States in a recent decision. The amendment follows: "This act shall not be construed to apply to any arrangements, agreements or combinations between laborers, made with the view of lessening the number of hours of labor, or of increasing their wages; nor to any arrangements, agreements or combinations among persons engaged in horticulture or agriculture, made with the view of enhancing the price of agricultural or horticultural products." Riot in,Philadelphia. Philadelphia.—The marching of nearly 1,000 foreigners upon city hall, where they said they intended to make demands upon Mayer Heyburn, precipitated a riot in Broad street late Thursday afternoon, in which twenty persons were injured before the police dispersed the marchers and arrested fourteen of them. The men, most of whom were Italians and Poles, marched from the foreign settlement in the lower section of the city. The leaders and a score of others carried red flags having a black border. Several of the rioters drew revolvers and fired at the police, who used their batons on the head of leaders. No State Inspection. Denver.—State Dairy Commissioner Bishopp desires to correct an impression that appears to be general among writers for the rural press that there is a state law providing for the testing of dairy herds suspected of being tubercular. Lately a number of the country papers have been printing editorials suggesting that the law ought to be repealed. As a matter of fact there is no such law among the Colorado statutes, although several municipal councils have enacted ordinances providing for such tests in the case of herds supplying milk for those particular communities. War Talk is Nonsense. New York.—Whitelaw Reid, ambassador of the United States to Great Britain, in a speech at the dinner of the Pilgrims of the United States at Delmonico's, declared that talk of the obligation of Great Britain to sustain Japan in war against the United States was nonsense. The ambassador said that "there was not the ghost of a possibility of war with Japan," and that there "was every reason to think the Japanese sincerely our friends." Our relations with Great Britain, the ambassador said, were cordial and there were no serious complications. Immunity From Disease. San Francisco.—William P. Hatch, who is delivering a series of free lectures on health throughout the state, contending that the use of medicine is necessary, has announced that he will allow himself to be inoculated with the germs of any disease and will agree to work such germs out of his system without the use of medicine. Mr. Hatch says that pure blood is all that is necessary to secure immunity from disease, and in his lecture tells the public how by a proper understanding of natural laws perfect health may be secured and maintained. Harriman Defeats Fish. Chicago.—Judge Ball of the Superior Court Thursday dissolved the injunction secured last October by Stuyvesant Fish, by virtue of which the Harriman interests were restrained from voting 281,231 shares of the capital stock of the Illinois Central railroad at the annual meeting of the company. The theory on which counsel for Mr. Fish based their arguments in support of the injunction—that it was contrary to the laws and public policies of the state of Illinois to allow foreign corporations to own and vote the stock of domestic corporations—was denied by the court.

I had her under the doctor's care for a year and a half and he seemed to do her no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old.

Denver, - - - Colorada, LETTER TO INTERSTATE COM- | MERCE COMMISSION ON CUTTING OF WAGES, WANTS INVESTIGATION PUBLIC ENTITLED TO KNOW IF REDUCTION IN WAGES IS WARRANTED. | Washington.—Serious industrial dis- ‘putes in prospect. were in the mind of President Roosevelt when he wrote a letter to the interstate commerce com- mission Tuesday, which was made pub- lic Wednesday. He says that information has reached him that on account of the en- ‘actment of drastic laws by the Con- gress and by the various State Legis- latures, it is regarded as necessary by railroad companies to reduce the pay of employes. He points out that under the law either party may demand the services of the chairman of the interstate com- ‘merce commission and of the commis- .sioner of labor as a board of concilia- tion. _ He suggests, therefore, that the in- terstate commerce commission make such an investigation as will enable it to furnish data concerning wage conditions on various railroads that may relate directly or indirectly to the possibly impending controversy. ‘The text of the President’s letter fol- lows: “To the Interstate Commerce Com- mission: _ “IL am informed that a number of railroad companies have served no- tice of a proposed reduction of wages ‘on their employes. One of them, the Louisville & Nashville, in announcing the reduction, states that ‘the drastic laws inimical to the interests of the ‘railroads that have in the past year or two been enacted by Congress and the State Legislatures’ are largely or chiefly responsible for the conditions requiring the reduction.’ “Uader such circumstances it is possible that the public may soon be confronted by serious industrial dis- putes, and the law provides that in such case either party may demand ‘the services of your chairman and of ‘the commissioner of labor as a board of mediation and conciliation, “These reductions in wages may be warranted or they may not. As to this, the public, which is a vitally in- terested party, can form no judgment ‘without a more complete knowledge of the essential facts and real merits of the case than it now has or than it can possibly obtain from the special pleadings certain to be put forth by each side in case the dispute should bring about serious interruption to traffic. “Tf the reduction in wages is due to ‘natural causes, the loss of business be- ing such that the burden should be, and is, equitably distributed between capitalist and wage worker, the public ‘and Congress should know it, and if it is caused by misconduct in the past financial or other operations of any railroad, then everybody should know it, especially if the excuse of un- friendly legislation is advanced by the railroad managers, or as a justification for failure to treat fairly the wage: earning employes of the company, “Moreover, an industrial conflict be- tween a railroad corporation and its employes cffers peculiar opportunities to any small number of evil disposed persons to destroy life and property and foment public disorder. “Of course, if life, property and pub- lic order are endangered, prompt and drastic measures for their protection ‘becomes the first plain duty. All other duties then become subordinate to the preservation of the public peace and the real merits of the original con- troversy are necessarily lost from view. ‘This vital consideration should be ever kept in mind by all law-abiding and far-sighted members of labor or- ganizations. “It is sincerely to be hoped, there- fore, that any wage controversy that may rise between the railroads and their employes may find a peaceful so- lution through the methods of con- ciliation and arbitration already pro- vided for by Congress, which have ‘proven so effective during the past year. “To this end the commission should be in a position to have available for any board of conciliation or arbitra- tion relevant data pertaining to such carriers as may become involved in industrial disputes, “Should conciliations fail to effect a settlement and arbitration be rejected, accurate information should be avyatl- able in order to develop a properly informed public opinion. “I therefore ask you to make such investigations, both of your records and by any means at your command, as will enable you to furnish data concerning such conditions obtaining on the Louisville & Nashville, and any other roads as may relate, directly. or indirectly, to the real merits of a possibly impending controversy. + Phone Main 6692 rc Family Trade a Specialty The Enterprise Liquor Co.

Bill Posters Not Coming. Denyer.—Denver has lost the annual convention of the National Association of Bill Posters of the United States and Canada. Some months ago Denyer was selected and the dates of July 14th, 15th and 16th were decided upon for holding the convention. Arrangements had been made with several of the ho- tels for accommodations for the dele: gates. At the last meeting of the board of directors it was voted to change the convention from Denver to Detroit. The reason for this move is stated to be that the board of directors feared too many people would be in Denver on the date set and they would rather meet in some quieter place.

Mr. Rosewater hated pictures that indicated scamped work—so-ealled im- pressionistic pictures that were mere- ly rough and hurried sketches, and so- called portraits that bore no likeness to their originals. A young painter showed Mr. Rose- water one day a portrait of a mutual friend “That a portrait of Smith?’ the editor exclaimed. “I'd never have known it.” “Oh,” the artist explained, “I didn’t try for a likeness, you know. I tried for an effect—an effect in grays.” “I know a man in New York,” said Mr. Rosewater, “who had hfs portrait painted last year. It coct him $4,000, and he was very proud of it.

The following resolutions were adopted by Arapahoe Lodge No. 2936 G. U. O. of O. F. at a regular meeting Jan. 20, 1908. Whereas, it has pleased Al- mighty God in His wisdom and power to remove from our midst two brave heroes. They have fallen in death and will not awake until the trumpet shall sound. Bro. Ralph Branford who departed this life Jan. 10th at 3 p. m. and Bro. Dennis Burns who departed this life January 18th. They have conquered death and gone before their maker and we know the principles of our order have taken root in their hearts. We have the sweet consolution that it is well with their souls. Resolve that in the death of Bro. Branford and Bro. Burns the lodge has lost two faithful and true workers, and we express our sympathy and sorrow at the death of our worthy and esteemed brothers and we hope that in the glorious resurrection that our loss is heavens gain. Be it further Resolved that in the death of them we may so live that when the summons comes to join us in the Friendship, Love and Truth, the innumerable caravans that move to that mysterious realm where each must take his seat in the sweet hall of death, there to go not like the Quarry slave at night scurged to the dungeon, but approach like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down in his silent bed beneath the soil of the earth. Bros. Branford and Burns, we can only commend you to God, who rules and controls the heavens and the earth and all things therein for He doth all things well. The removal of our Bros., from our midst causes another link of our chain to be broken by the grim monster death that will sooner or later sever us all as the day and night cometh, we too are passing away. Be it further Resolved that Arapahoe Lodge room be draped in mourning for 30 days out of respect for their memory and a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Odd Fellows Journal for publication and the weekly papers of the city and one copy to the families of the brothers, also, that a copy be spread on the minutes of this lodge.

Young Man's Efforts to Prompt Had Disastrous Ending. Dr. Woodrow Wilson of Princeton was talking with some young men about cheating in examinations. "Aside from moral grounds," Dr Wilson said, "cheating is bad on material grounds. The cheat is very apt, you know, to be found out. "In Virginia, in my boyhood, there was a case of cheating that had a disastrous ending. "An elderly minister appeared before a board to be examined for some post or other. The examination was public, and the first branch to be taken up was Latin. "What is the Latin for goose?" the examiner said. "And the poor old minister at the start was stumped. He could not remember. It was pitiful to see him, and a young man seated near could not resist helping him out. "Anser,' whispered the young man. "But the minister continued silent, rolling his eyes, racking his brain. "Anser,' whispered the young man in a louder tone. "The minister now turned his head and looked at hisprompter oddly. "Poor old chap! He almost heard. He wants me to try again,' the young man thought, and, louder than ever, he repeated: "Anser.' "At this the minister turned and shook his forefinger at the youth.

Should the parents object to the lover's advances, his friends rally, and abduct the girl. If the consent of the parents is obtained, three posts are planted, and between them the bride and bridegroom, with their intimate friends, assemble, and proceed to get intoxicated on a peculiar toddy. The young couple sit together, and receive frequent douches of turmeric oil, from gourds in the hands of wedding guests. Presents of all kinds, to propitiate the demons, are showered upon the contracting parties, and the close of the feast finds the whole set in a state of bacchanal bliss. After this the parties are man and wife. West Virginia Problem: A knotty legal question has come to the surface in Webster county, says the Morgantown Chronicle. One man stole another man's skunk. It was a wild animal which was privileged to roam where it pleased, and it recognized no owner, lord or master. But in the course of its perambulations it entered upon the land of a man named Ziecafoose, who set up a claim to the visitor because it was on his land, and when a predatory mountaineer came down like a wolf on the fold and carried away the dead carcass of the animal Mr. Ziecafoose set up a claim that it was his property.

Assistant Longing for Country Life. A strange thing is the universal longing of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered as they advance in life to get back to the country. It is seldom that they do return, and when they do there is often disappointment and things do not appear as they did long ago. The change is in the man himself, but he thinks it is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back to the old country place to end one's days is very general. Sir Walter Scott refers to it and compares the course of a man through the wood to that of the hare which is started from her hair and after a long chase and making a large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started. To Renovate Shades Holland shades that have become dirty in places should be rubbed with a piece of fairly stale bread. The bread should be constantly turned and renewed as it becomes soiled. This simple treatment will "freshen-up" the blinds wonderfully, and put off the washing of them until some distant date. Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a destiny more sublime than ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.—Sir Walter Scott. BY AT PHONE MAIN 6123 Denver, Colo WHEN DRYING TABLE LINEN. Successful Appearance of Cloth Depends Largely on Care Taken. The successful appearance of a tablecloth depends as much on how it is dried as how ironed, for if dried in crooked folds it is impossible to iron it into shape. When hanging your linen to dry use two lines comparatively close and parallel for your tablecloths and sheets. Throw one selvedge edge of your tablecloth over one line towards the other, allowing it to hang down about a quarter of a yard, and being careful to pin it a short distance from the ends. Take the opposite edge and throw it over the other line, and pin it in the same manner. This will form a sort of bag, and will prevent to a considerable extent the wild blowing of the tablecloth in windy weather, and it will be straight. After it is thoroughly dried, remove it from the line, and prepare to damp it. Table linen, in order to bring out the bright gloss that makes it attractive, should be dampened considerably. Sprinkle freely, being sure that the selvedge ends or hem-stitched borders are thoroughly damp; fold evenly lengthwise, then roll up tightly until it is time to mangle and iron it. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Little mats of felt or soft material keep fine plates and dishes from being scratched or nicked by piling on shelves. To make a rice pudding both unusual and good stir raw eggs into the boiled product in the proportion of one egg to each person. A recipe for paste that will never dry nor turn sour is one teaspoonful of powdered alum and ten drops of clove oil added to a pint of very smooth, thick paste. When filling oil lamps place a small lump of camphor in the oil vessel; it will greatly improve the light and make the flame clearer and brighter. If you have no camphor add a few drops of vinegar occasionally. Lace window curtains should always be soaked for an hour in cold water to which a little borax has been added before being put into warm suds. This gets out the smoky smell that is sometimes so noticeable in curtains that have been in a town. Flaked soap is expensive to buy. But you can flake your own by scraping down ordinary soap with a swat scraper. These scrapers are also useful for flaking dripping in winter it gets too hard to be easily rubbed into flour when making pastry or cakes. Calfsfoot Jelly. Here is a good rule for calffood jelly, and not too expensive: Four calf feet, four quarts cold water, one half box gelatine, one cup sugar, two lemons, two inches stick cinnamon, three eggs, one pint wine (sherry). Wash and split the feet, add the water and cook slowly until the flesh separates from the bones and the stock is reduced to three pints. Strain, and when cold remove fat. Add the whites and shells of the eggs, the cinnamon, sugar and the juice of the lemons. Add the gelatine after soaking it 20 minutes in half a cup of cold water. Stir until hot. Let simmer 15 minutes, then add wine. Skim and strain into tumblers. Name Cake. For a child's birthday party make a birthday cake and ice it with pure white fondant icing. On top write the name and age with pink sugar or chocolate. Mix some lemon jelly and put into a shallow pan to congeal in a large thin sheet. When it is cold, remove and put a layer of it on top of the cake and trim the edges with a knife dipped in hot water. It makes a lovely cake. The swastika design can be made for a good-luck cake. It is easy to make the gelatine top and it is really quite ornamental. Almost any design can be made. Lebkuchen. Two pounds and six ounces of flour, two pounds of syrup, one-quarter pound of butter, one-half pound of shelled almonds, chopped; one-quarter pound of brown sugar, one teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and salaratus; the grated rind of one lemon, one-quarter teaspoonful of allspice.

Fort Collins.-The foresters of the Colorado and Wyoming reserves are to meet at the Agricultural College in annual convention the first week in March. Gifford Pinchot and other government officials are booked for addresses during the sessions, which will last several days. Secretary Taylor of the chamber of commerce has completed arrangements for a public meeting that week at which the guests from Washington and some of the leaders in the active service on the reserves are to deliver addresses explaining the work. The object of the gathering is to stir public interest in the preservation of the forests, especially in this region where the need of protection to the watershed is vital to irrigation interests. Professors Carpenter and Paddock of the college will deliver addresses at the public meeting. The plan is to have Greeley, Loveland and other cities send representatives, so that there will be wide dissemination of the knowledge to be gained from hearing such men as Pinchot. Another matter that is receiving attention in connection with the coming meeting is that of a forestry department at the Agricultural College. There is but one great school of forestry in the United States—at Ithaca, New York, and this devotes its energies chiefly to the matter of preserving the trees of the Appalachian mountains. Fort Collins people claim this is an ideal location for a Rocky mountain school of forestry and are urging that the city, as well as the college authorities take up the question during the coming convention. Colorado College at Colorado Springs, through the kindness of General Palmer, has had a forest placed at its disposal for practical work, but there is no chair of forestry at any western college. Woman Frozen to Death. Denver.—A Republican special from Silverton Wednesday night, says: Mrs. James Waldron was frozen to death last night near Gladstone, a small village eight miles from here. She and her husband had been to the cabin of Charles Capp, about a mile and a half above the village, spending the evening, and left for home about 9 o'clock. After going a short distance Mrs. Waldron became cold, tired and sleepy and took refuge in a barn near the road. Waldron continued his journey and with much effort arrived at the village and told of his wife stopping at the barn, being unable to walk all the way home. The weather was intensely cold, the mercury standing at 15 degrees below zero, and a rescuing party was at once organized and started for the barn, on arrival there found the frozen body of the woman. She was thirty-five years old and is survived by one son, by a former husband. Today Charles Capp, at whose cabin Mr. and Mrs. Waldron spent the evening, was arrested on the charge of selling . . . quer without a license. Our Eastern Relations. Lowell, Mass.—In his address to the Lowell board of trade Wednesday Secretary of War Taft said: "The possession of the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico wields a far greater influence among the world's nations than we at home suppose. There is a great deal in the influence of that which affects the eye. The visit of sixteen battleships to the Pacific will have an excellent effect for peace rather than for war. "We are not going about the world with a chip on our shoulder. We are not hunting war. That is the last thing that this country wants. "I apprehend no danger from the civilization of China, as some people profess. The argument has been that if China comes into competition with us we will be wiped out commercially. I hold that the more the Chinese are civilized the better market they will represent for the United States." Gunnison Tunnel Engineer. Denver.—A Grand Junction dispatch Wednesday night says: Official announcement of the appointment of C. T. Pease as construction engineer in charge of the Gunnison tunnel at Montrose was made here tonight. Mr. Pease's successor, E. E. Sands, has been transferred to Grand Junction to have charge of the construction work of the $2,000,000 high line canal here. Mr. Sands returned today from Yuma, Arizona, where he was in conference with the other officials of the reclamation service. He stated that the headquarters of the engineers would be opened in Grand Junction next Tuesday and the survey of the project pushed forward so that construction work will start early in 1909. Mr. Sands said: "When the various project engineers made their reports to the conference not one of them could in their statement of production make a showing per acre one-half so good as that of the Grand valley." Colorado'c Crime Carnival. Denver.—The News of the 19th inst., calls attention to the fact that twenty-two persons dead and three wounded is the toll collected by the demon blood lust in Colorado in the forty-nine days of 1908 that have gone into history. Seventeen of the dead are men. Five are women. Twelve of the crimes were successful, or attempted, double killings by husbands or crazed lovers driven to desperation by jealousy. Five were suicides by men despondent as a result of reverses in love or business. The remainder, with one exception, were crimes of passion growing out of disputes or prompted by liquor-distorted minds. The first killing was that of William O. Shirey, January 13th, and the last that of Ethel Davis Kirby, shot by her husband Monday night, before he ended his own life with a bullet from the same revolver. M.

Negotiations are said to be pending by which the Y. M. C. A. of the state is endeavoring to secure Wind River lodge, in Estes park, as a summer resort for the association and its meetings.

In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Couldn't Set Her Back. American ladies, when in England, are the occasion of many jokes, good, bad and indifferent. Here is a recent one, which has for its scene the magnificence of Windsor castle. Fair American—Butler, any chance to get a glimpse of the queen?" Sheer white goods, In fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. It Was a Stage Brand. Gertrude, aged four, had been to the matinee. Later she tried to describe the play to a grown-up friend. "They drank wine," said Gertrude, "and then they all went out." "Well," said the friend, expectantly, "and what happened next?" Gertrude worked her small brain hard. "I guess," she said, "they spit it out." The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Irrefutable Tramp Evidence.

The first gown shown in our large illustration is laid out in a beautiful quality cloth whose dark blue is interwoven with an almost invisible stripe, the scheme of plaiting on the admirably hanging skirt being very smart and new, while the coat, whose fronts are of the most correct cut-away style, introduces a repetition of these plaits at the back with most excellent effect. A wide and silken black braid is an effective trimming, and you must note and admire its novel arrangement, with buttons of entwined gold and black cord and many looped ends to match, the back, too, being provided with this same decorative finish—altogether a notably smart costume. The other costume has a new and fine striped tweed for its fabric, one very effective color scheme showing a blending of blue and brown while the clever and varying way in which these stripes are arranged on the strappings of the skirt and coat, is, in itself, enough to make the costume notable. But then there is also a waistcoat of blue cloth embroidered in gold, while the two colors of the costume are combined on the collar and the facings, and quaint little tabs of braid, outlined with cloth, play their part in this scheme of smartness. However, these whisperings of new fashions need not cause too great apprehension, for the costumes purchased last fall will do duty bravely up until the end of April or even beyond, if you have been wise enough not to select those with sleeves too obtrusively Japanese, these being the main points where the differences of yesterday and to-morrow may come to be observed. There is nothing authentic yet announced from the high quarters where the models come from. Speaking of sleeves reminds me that several of the most modern evening frocks are altogether lacking in sleeves, the place of the sleeve being taken by a small frill of lace over the shoulder, or a deep fall of fringe; fringe being among the revivals of our immediate fancy. It is rumored that vivid color is to run riot in the orders of our spring fashions, but I would rather vote for its charm in the dull winter days; and I gazed yesterday, with considerable satisfaction, on a popular actress in her everyday clothes. These included a golden-brown cloth skirt, a striped velvet coat to match, bearing a little brocaded waistcoat of peacock blue, brown, red and gold, a huge red fox's boa and muff, and a tawny-tinted felt hat, gay with a dark peacock-blue scarf on one side, and a bunch of pheasants' plumes on the other. That was a gorgeous combination, tawny brown and peacock blue, and all dark beauties would do well to consider its possibilities. I have met, too, that dull shade of peacock blue with considerable pleasure in cloth, fashioned in a princess dress with trimmings of skunk, and thick string-colored guipture, and this was crowned with a hat of peacock blue, the crown bearing a band of skunk, fastened at one side with three enormous roses of blue and bronze velvet. A short, loose sacque of dark peacock blue was worn with this, altogether a most artistic circumstance. It is very pleasant to realize that the new evening gowns—those of the immediate moment, and those which are being prepared for the early spring season—are things of real beauty! They are delightfully picturesque, and the sleeves are specially attractive. The latter are almost invariably made of the thinnest and most transparent materials, and they are arranged in such a manner that they permit the whole arm to be seen even while they pretend to drape it. It was declared some weeks ago that many of the new evening bodices were being made without sleeves, or practically so, and this statement still holds good, but side by side with these sleeveless bodices we have others which show "Angel" draperies of chiffon, tulle or other transparent material. These draperies fall low under the arms, and thus form a most becoming background for the delicate white flesh. On the outer side they are open right up to the shoulder, but sometimes a light clasp is arranged, to hold the fragile material together, just above the elbow. Women with thin arms will find sleeves of this kind infinitely flattering, and the same applies to those whose arms are not quite so white as they could wish! Apropos the latter let me suggest that a regular course of friction with olive oil at night will do very much.

A VISITING TOILET, Made of Cashmere with the New Wide Sash of Black Satin and Vest of "Ireland." The oil should first be thoroughly well rubbed into the skin with a firm circular motion, and the arms should then be briskly frictioned, from shoulder to wrist, with a rubber skin brush. The action of the brush should be regular and sufficiently prolonged. The blood will quickly come to the surface of the skin and the arms will assume a most healthy shade of crimson. After the friction another coat of oil should be lightly rubbed on, and then, just before going to bed, a piece of clean wadding passed over the skin, to remove any oil which has not been absorbed. If this course be continued regularly for several weeks a great change will be seen in the condition of the arms. The skin will become softer and finer, and the arms themselves will look beautifully white in the evening. Just the same treatment is excellent for the neck and shoulders, but care must be taken to make the frictions in a circular manner. The development of watercress growing in Dorset, England, is enormous. One firm near Bere Regis employs no fewer than 40 men in the cultivation, cutting, and packing of cress, and the proprietor publicly stated a few days ago that he pays £2,000 a year in wages. The watercress, which is scientifically cultivated, is sent to all parts of the country. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. DPP.

Try This and Be Convinced That There's Nothing Better to Spring on a Briton, Masculine or Feminine. A young American woman who has recently married a British husband was holding forth one day to a group of friends on the subject of international marriage. "I do love to read all the bosh that's written in the papers about it," she said; "they paint dark pictures of the foreign vulture about to descend on the American dove, etc., etc., and discourse learnedly on the causes of failure of most of these marriages, and it's really the simplest thing in the world—you've got to use discernment, that's all. There are various tests that can be applied to men of different nations, but I'm convinced that there's nothing better to spring on a Briton, masculine or feminine, than the breakfast-food test. "I wasn't on to it when I married, and it was Algy's sister who unconsciously gave me the tip. She came over to make us a visit, and I own that I shook in my boots. She's older than Algy, you know, by a good deal, and I had a desperate feeling that she disapproved of everything American, particularly myself. Algy worked overtime to persuade me to the contrary, but I was used to our talky-talky women and quite failed to grasp that her apparent aloofness might be due to nothing but shyness. "So when she asked to be shown my kitchen I quaked. I bravely rose to the occasion, however, and led her thither. She frowned a bit at the ic-box and said a 'meat safe' would be far less extravagant at this time of year—she sniffed openly at my gas range which she was certain was 'smelly'—but her face was a picture when her eye fell on the cupboard shelf where the breakfast foods live. She first asked what they were, and I volubly explained the different sorts from sand and shavings through pulverized whisk-brooms. "But surely you don't eat them?" she inquired. "Surely we do," I returned valiantly. "She gave a sort of grunt, then looked from the box she was holding. "Does Algernon eat them?" she asked in a how-have-the-mighty-fallen sort of tone. " 'He eats oatmeal,' I explained and it was funny to see how relieved she looked, for she had been distressed to death to see him drink coffee at breakfast in place of the revered and traditional tea, and I suppose she feared that he was becoming fundamentally 'Amurrican.' But all she said was: " 'Aow, porridge?' "Then a sudden thought occurred me—I'd get her to taste one of those breakfast foods. She was holding a box of crispy sweet sort of things not unlike popcorn. " 'Taste it, Amy,' I urged; 'it doesn't have to be cooked, you know, and it's rather fun to eat it right out of the box.' "She looked darkly suspicious, then drew out a few flakes, holding them as if they were slumbering hornets with a potential sting. But I 'sicked' her on, and eventually she made the leap. I waited anxiously, and the suspicious expression slowly left her face, making room for one of rather pleased surprise. "Not so nawsty," she pronounced, and smiled at me, and from that moment we were friends. "I've tried it on lots of English people since, and later events have never failed to confirm its infallibility, for the unprogressive, unadaptable mind betrays itself every time. So if you want to marry an Englishman, invite him to breakfast—and try it," she finished. Some Fun of the College Boys. Sheer nonsense rhymes and jokes without apparent reason or object are frequently used to fill the pages of the Cornell Widow. If anything more footless than the Man of Glegledorf verse has ever been written The Widow wishes to state that her bump of credulity was imported from Missouri, and must be shown: There was a man from Glegledorf There was a man from Gledlegorf Who, to save his barbers' fees Who, to save his barbers tees Would wet his hair and let it freeze, And when 'twas frozen, break it off. The Lady also indulged in a few quiet gurgles over the following bit: Pretty Young Lady—I want a nice fluffy shirtwaist. Clerk—What bust, Miss? Pretty Young Lady—I don't know; I didn't hear anything—The Bohemian. A young man who is striving for political honors and who, therefore, feels called upon to do considerable public talking, was recently waited upon by a delegation of men residing in one of the poorer regions of his district. He was greatly pleased when their spokesman requested a speech from him at an early date. "What kind of a speech?" he asked. "An after-dinner speech," replied a wag in a shabby coat.—Youth's Companion. His cigar was a very bad one. "Do you smoke?" he asked the lady beside him at the cafe table. "Only in self-defense," she answered with averted head.
