THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DEVELO Of the Mind Requires the S for all Worthy Accomp DEVELOPMENT Well Worth Your Study. A great many people ruin their ability to see good in others by constantly holding their defects in mind. It is one's nature that which appreciates the good, the beautiful and the true, while the mind is filled with thoughts of the opposite kind. The faculties which appreciate noble qualities may be left wholly undeveloped, or they may be paralyzed and blighted by habitually discordant processes of mind. Nothing strangles the power to see the virtues of others more quickly than cherishing an uncharitable and faultfinding spirit. On the other hand, by holding charitable, magnanimous, loving thought toward all, we not only surround ourselves with a sunny atmosphere, favorable to growth of all that is best in us; we also produce a similar effect on those who come within the radius of our influence. How beautifully, for instance, a child develops under the loving thought of a sweet tempered sun shiny mother! Not alone are its qualities encouraged and nourished, but their rapid development kills the possibility of the growth of antagonistic qualities, just as the raid maturing of cultivated plants checks the weeds, which might otherwise strangle them. Encouragement of one discourages the other. By way of contrast, notice a child who is constantly scolded, criticised and found fault with by its mother. You will find that the child's worse qualities are developed. The thought the mother holds toward it discourages the unfoldment of the better side of its nature, and eventually destroys it. In the same way, a teacher who holds the depreciative critical thoughts in regard to a pupil, discourages his growth. As a rule, children need the sunshine of merited praise. They reuire appreciation and encouragement to aid their moral development. Nothing so chills and discourages a pupil, so quickly robs him of spontaneity and enthusiasm, as a fault finding critical attitude on the part of a teacher. A child can no more unfold its good qualities naturally in a chilling, depreciating atmosphere, than can a tropical plant unfold and blossom in the chill of Arctic regions. Whatever you do, don't ruin your capacity for appreciating the good and the beautiful in others, VOL. XIV. for seeing the better side of human nature. Don't wallow in the mire of discontent fretting and faultfinding so you cannot appreciate moral cleanliness, sunshine and beauty of disposition. We are told that Kasper Hauser was kept so long in a damp, dark dungeon that, on his release the sunlight and beauties of nature which gave pleasure to moral minds, brought only bitter pain to him,—pain so great that he begged to be sent back to the dugeon again. The light blinded him. His eyes were so accustomed to darkness that he could not endure the sunshine. There are men, living in worse dungeons than that which was occupied by Kasper Hauser. Voluntary prisoners, they have, by the current of their thoughts, shut themselves off from all that is lovely, healthful and inspiring in life. Voluntary they have rendered themselves unsuited for any normal environment.—Reformer. THE CALL OF THE NORTH. The movement of Negroes from the South to northern states has assumed such large proportions as to be a matter of grave concern, not only to thinking members of the race itself, but also to all, regardless of race, who have our welfare at heart. The invasion is viewed with so much alarm that the committee for improving the industrial condition of the Negroes in New York has asked, in a circular, the co-operation of Negro newspapers and ministers in checking it. They call attention to some potent, irrefutable facts why the masses of our people should remain at the South, among which are: That in the northern cities there are fewer opportunities for employment of Negroes than in the South, especially at the present time, when many of all races are out of work. That in the northern cities the lodgings available for Negroes are inferior, as far as sunlight and ventilation are concerned, and that the rents are excessive; That the climate in the North, to persons bred in the South, is severe, causing illness and high mortality among colored people; That the moral condition of the Negroes in Northern cities is a matter of grave concern, the temptation to vice and crime proving DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. MAY 16. 1908 too strong for many, especially among the young people, to resist. Finally, the earnest hope is expressed that the relations between the races in the South will so improve—through the co-operation of public spirited white and colored people—that kinder and fairer treatment may be accorded to the Negroes and that, as a result, fewer will feel impelled to migrate to the North. All of which is true—too true, but would it not be as efficacious to attempt "to dam the Nile with bullrushes" as to endeavor to check this migration, as long as conditions are as they are in the South? Preachers may export against the evils of city life and papers hold up the unsanitary condition of Negro tenements in the congested districts but the movement will continue till better educational facilities, better police protection and more humane treatment are accorded Negroes down South than is now their portion. Since creation, individuals, tribes and nations have changed their habitats with the hope of bettering their condition. Before recorded time, men, lured by the star of material progress, braved the unknown perils of the forest, the desert and the deep. It is this same desire, as old as man, that impels the Negro northward, where in his ignorance, he s.eks the fable l Elysium of his enslaved ancestors. There is no question that it would be better by far for the masses of the race to "let down their buckets where they are," to add to their landed possessions as opportunity offers, and make of themselves producers rather than consumers. Opposing, there is always the call of the North, promising higher wager and greater liberties. 'Tis a siren's song against which argument avails little. The odds are against him who pleads for what is so manifestly the best; but, since it is the best, it is the duty of every agency which exerts any influence to use it in such a way that the Negro may be led to see that the South is where the majority must hope to reach the highest state of development.—The Advocate, Charleston W. Va. STARK'S ESTATE The appraisement of the estate of the late Samuel W. Starks has been completed and made a matter of record.

Y., April 30.—The enlisted men of the two battalions of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry; Colored, stationed at Sacketts Harper, eleven miles from Watertown, have declared a boycott against the latter place, and they announce their intention of maintaining the boycott until a certain element among the tradesmen there learn to treat them with civility. H. O. Tanner, the painter of biblical scenes, has just finished the large picture which he is to send to the Salon des Artistes Francais, Paris, France, and which measures no less than five meters wide.

Washington, May 11,—The federal grand jury today returned an indictment charging Representative J. Thomas Heflin, Alabama, with assault with a dangerous weapon. The indictment contains three counts, two of which reate to the assault on Lewis Lundy, a Negro, with whom Heflin had a dispute on a street car in this city on March 27. The third court charges an assault on Thomas McCreary of New York, a horseman, who was struck by a bullet from Heflin's pistol. Washington, May 4.—Senator Bulkeley, of Connecticut, a member of the Committee on Military Affairs, spoke at length in the Senate today on the Brownsville affray. Mr Bulkeley declared his belief in the innocence of the Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, and said the rioters in the town on the nights of August 1314, 1906, in his judgment, were lawless Mexicans from outside the town, assisted by the lawless class within Brownsville. Senator Bulkeley spoke over four hours, his remarks including a review of all the testimony that has been taken in the case. Charleston, W. Va., May 6.—For the fifth time Mr. Phil Waters, well known as an orator of considerable ability, has been elected member-at-large of the Fifth Congressional District of this State by the Republican party.

Muskogee, Ok., May 5.—On refusal of a conductor on a Missouri, Kansas & Texas train, running from Oklahoma City to Muskogee, to eject a Negro who got aboard at Oklahcma City and refused to ride in the "Jim Crow" car, Mayor J. W. Steen of Checotah and A. L. Hausam, commissioner of Wagner county, ordered the sheriff at Cleveland, Ok., today to arrest the Negro and take him off the train.

Cambridge, was yesterday awarded a verdict of $15,000 by a jury in Judge Bond's session of the Middlesex superior court at East Cambridge, in her suit against the Boston Elevated Railway company. The young woman, who is a music teacher, will be an invalid all her life from hysteria, attributed by the doctors who testified for her to a street car accident. The verdict is the largest ever awarded in a Massachusetts court in a hysteria case. She sued for $20,000. Coakley, Coakley & Sherman appeared as counsel for her. A bill to reimburse the depositors of the defunct Freedmen's Bank will probably become a law. It has passed the senate and has been reported favorably to the house by the committee on banking and currency. The bill carries an appropriation of $1,000,000 for the settlement of the claims against the bank. President Roosevelt is said to be anxious to have the measure go through, for he feels that the government is morally responsible for the funds placed in the institution, and it is his belief that trust in banks can be largely restored among a certain element of colored people and the saving habit accentuated by the restoration of this lost money to the depositors or their heirs. NO. 34. DISCHARGED SOLDIER SUES UNCLE SAM DISCHARGED SOLDIER SUES UNCLE SAM New York, May 4.—For more than three hours tonight Judge Hough, the United States district court, listened to argument which involved a question of the right of President Roosevelt to summarily dismiss the three companies of Negro soldiers of the 25th Infantry for alleged participation in the Brownsville riot. The argument was on a demurrer interposed to a portion of the answer of the governmsnt in the action commenced by Private Oscar W. Reid to recover $122, which sum represented his wages as a soldier from the date of his dismissal without honor to the date of the expiration of his enlistment. The suit was commenced in the federal court in this district. To the complaint filed in behalf of Private Reid, United States District Attorney Stimson entered a general denial and for additional defense alleged the right of the president to dismiss soldiers of these companies and also referred to the reports of the various army inspectors recommending such action, making the reports a portion of the record of the case. It was to this portion in the government's answer that Charles E. Mellen, counsel for Private Reid, demurred. Mellen contended that the enlisted men were protected by constitutional rights which the president had not the power to ignore, even as commander in chief of the army and navy, the enlistment operating really from a legal view point, as a civil contract between the soldiers and the government. The real power of removal, the attorney contended, was vested in the congress, which created the army and navy, the president as commander in chief, possessing in times of peace, the application of the congressional act. Judge Hough reserved decision but told Lawyer Mellen plainly from the bench it would require considerable legal proof to convince him that the relations of the enlisted soldier and the government amounted simply to a civil contract. Briefs are to be submitted by Wednesday and Judge Hough said he would take the matter up at the end of the week. A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE WILL ELECT FIVE BISHOPS. Norfolk, Va., May 13.—The A. M.

The House committee on public lands has reported a bill extending the acreage limitation of the Carey land act to 2,000,000 acres in the state of Idaho.

PLEA SELF DEFENSE SHOOTING OCCURRED AT ALA MOSA IN FEBRUARY; CASE TRIED AT CONEJOS. Denver.—A News special from Conejos night night says: The jury in the case of Glen Holbrook, son of District Judge C. C. Holbrook, charged with the murder of Mordant M. Lowther, February 20th, at Alamosa, found the defendant innocent, and he was discharged from custody this evening. Nine of the jurors are said to have been in favor of acquittal from the start, while three favored murder in the second degree.

BOY KEPT SCRATCHING. Eczema Lasted 7 Years—Face Was All Raw—Skin Specialists Failed, But Cuticura Effected Cure. "When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face, I took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The eczema got on his arms and legs and we could not get a night's sleep in months. I got a set of Cuticura Remedies and he felt relieved the first time I used them. I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up. He is now seven years old and I think the trouble will never return. Mrs. John G. Klumpp, 80 Niagara St., Newark, N J., Oct 17 and 22, 1907." THOUGHT IT NATIONAL TRAIT. Driver Couldn't Understand American Not Being in a Hurry. A traveler returned from Jaffa tells tale at his own expense. Having journeyed to the historical seaport on his way to Jerusalem, he succeeded in hiring a conveyance to carry him to the station. By speech and gesture he informed the native driver that he wished to be carried in a leisurely sightseeing fashion through as many as possible of the principal thorough fares of Jaffa, and to be delivered at the terminal just in time to take the outgoing train. He had no sooner seated himself in the vehicle, however, than the driver whipped up his horse and whirled the dismayed traveler at a furious pace through all the dust and over all the stones of the notoriously rough streets of Jaffa. The passenger was too busily employed in saving his bones to be able to see anything of the interesting town. Arriving at the station, he found that he still had two hours to wait. "Why in the world," he demanded, indignantly, "did you ever hurry like that?" "You American," responded the driver, with an expressive shrug. "All American like go very much fast."—Youth's Companion. AN EXPLANATION. "Why didn't you answer your teacher when she spoke to you in the arithmetic class, Ethel?" "Coz mamma told me I muthn't thpeak durin' the cool hourth." Works Wonders in Health. It is worth knowing that a change in food can cure dyspepsia. "I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape Nuts food has cured me of indigestion "I had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor recommended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instructions and now I am entirely well. "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial as you see fit." The reason this lady was helped by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system.

"Is that your dog, John?" queried the mistress with a smiling glance at the strange mongrel that hid behind the coachman's heels. "No, ma'm," replied John. "he just come in this morning, and I haven't got the heart to drive him away." "He looks like a cross-breed, doesn't he?" returned the lady. "Oh, no, ma'am," was the assuring rejoinder of John, "he isn't a cross-breed. He is a cheerful breed. He has done nothing but hang around and act happy ever since he came in."—Home Magazine.

CORNERSTONE IS LAID ADDRESSES BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, ANDREW CARN- EGIE AND OTHERS. Washington—Under splendid auspices of patronage and beautiful spring weather the corner stone was laid Monday of the proposed home for the International Union of American Republics, or as Secretary Rooc aptly called it, "a temple dedicated to international friendship." The decorations were in keeping with the occasion. Flags and colors of twenty-one American republics floated in the breeze over the grandstands, while the coats of arms of these countries were displayed at many places about the stands. During the ceremony the flag of each of the twenty-one countries represented was hauled aloft by a blue jacket from the Washington navy yard and attached to a wire, and when the last one had been placed in position the group made a line of emblems that stretched from one end of the court to the other. As they were being hauled up the Marine band played strains from the national airs of the particular country the flag represented. In the President's stand there were seated the cabinet, the Supreme Court, the diplomatic corps and members of the Senate and House. Secretary Root was the presiding officer. Cardinal Gibbons made the invocation. There were addresses by the President, Secretary Root, Andrew Carnegie and Brazilian Ambassador Nabuco, and reading of cabled messages of congratulation from the presidents of the Latin-American republics. Bishop Cranston pronounced the benediction. President Roosevelt told his hearers, when the portion of his speech relating to that subject was reached, that he was glad to hear them applaud the battleship fleet. He believed in peace and arbitration, he said, but he also believed in keeping in such trim that it shall be a temptation to nobody to wrong us. Following the speech making and the reading of the congratulatory cablegrams, the President and the others who had participated, marched to the center of the court, where the cornerstone was ready to be placed in position. After greeting the head Mason with a cordial grasp of the hand, President Roosevelt was given a trowel decorated with the American republic's colors. Taking several trowelfuls of mortar he placed it on the stone on which the cornerstone is to rest and smoothed it out, the latter act being in turn followed by the remaining members of the party. They then returned to the grand stand, where the benediction was pronounced. In his address the President said: "This is a memorable occasion for all the peoples of the Western hemisphere. The building, the cornerstone of which we lay today, emphasizes by its existence the growing sense of solidarity of interest and aspiration among all the peoples of the new world. "At the outset, on behalf of all of us, I wish to thank Mr. Carnegie for his generous gift—a gift to all the nations of the new world, and therefore pre-eminently fitting as coming from one who has so sincerely striven for the cause of peace among nations. "In the next place, as President of this republic, I greet the representatives of all of our sister republics to the south of us. In a sense you are our elder sisters and we the younger people, for you represent a more ancient civilization on this continent than we do." Secretary Root said: "We are here to lay the cornerstone of the building which is to be the home of the International Union of American Republics. "The public spirit and enthusiasm for the good of humanity which have inspired an American citizen, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, in his administration of a great fortune, have led him to devote the adequate and ample sum of three-quarters of a million dollars to the construction of the building. "Into the appropriate adornment and fitting of the edifice will go the contributions of every American republic, already pledged and, in a great measure already paid into the fund of the union. "The international union for which the building is erected is a voluntary association, the members of which are all the American nations from Cape Horn to the great lakes." Ambassador Nabuco of Brazil spoke for the Latin-American republics, saying: "Gentlemen, there has never been a parallel for the sight which this ceremony presents—that of twenty-one nations of different languages, building together a house for their common de liberations. The more striking is the scene as these countries, with all possible differences between them in size and population, have established their union on the basis of the most absolute equality. "So many sovereign states would not have been drawn so spontaneously together if there did not exist throughout them, at the bottom or at the top of each national conscience, the feeling of a destiny common to all America." Pekin.-News was received here Monday that 3,000 rebels set out to march on Keng-Tsze, a treaty port on the Songkol river. A body of provincial troops met and repulsed one column at Man-Hao, but the other column, which is following the railroad line, is now within thirty miles of Meng-Tsze.

The Leadville Sportsman's Association, composed of local fishing enthusiasts, has sent a communication to State Game and Fish Commissioner Farr of Denver, asking him to prevent the pollution of the Eagle river by the dumping of waste and refuse into the waters by mining properties. It is pointed out that the prevention of this practice will not in any way affect the operation of the mines. The Longmont Engineering Company places the responsibility for its insolvency upon the foreign farm hands who objected to using the practical and time saving invention of the company in handling sugar beets. The foreigners feared that the labor-saving device meant a lessening of work and wages for them rather than an enlargement of productio.

A LIBERAL city administration, as regards its attitude toward colored representation, is what the colored voter wants in Denver, and what he will vote for. It is an exceptional Democrat who can fill the bill, and no combination of Democrats ever was known to do so. But among Republicans of the old school it is a fixed and fundamental policy. The Republican candidates are men of the right stamp, liberal, progressive and sincere party men, who, in their personal characters, offer to colored voters a far better argument than the Democrats of Denver have ever been able to give. Blonde Races Dying Out By E. G. MINNICK. DEFINING THE ISSUES. LOCAL OPTION is not the whole issue in the present municipal campaign. So far as the platforms of the respective parties are concerned it is not an issue at all, for the Republican party, declaring plainly its belief that the will of the people of communities should control the granting of licenses to saloons, has been met by the broad declaration of the Democrats that they, too, believe in a policy of general regulation almost amounting to the same thing as local option. The chief difference on this point lies in the fact that the Democrats are relying upon deceit and insincerity, while the Republicans are following an unequivocating policy to which they stand voluntarily and deliberately committed. The Democrats have given us four years of their kind of regulation and have clearly demonstrated that the regulation which they believe in is the kind in which the saloon helps materially to control the people; but the Republicans clinch the issue with the distinct avowal that the people should absolutely control the saloons. Denver has been gradually coming up to this point of administrative belief, and all Republican administrations, since the days of the dance hall and the miner's weekly carousal, have been slowly, but surely, tending toward this higher moral conception of municipal government, because it represents the advancing ideas of the better elements of all the people. As a conservative fact, it does not intend an injustice to the saloon or the saloonkeeper, but insists that the saloon must come under that just control which the will and the welfare of the people warrant. This is a principle whose enforcement is demanded by the moral instinct of all far-seeing citizens, and the Republican party realizes that the time has come for the crystallization of that principal into a permanent administrative policy. But beyond this principle, whose sincere and rational application is directly involved, are many questions of sound business government which business men and taxpayers should not lose sight of. The claim of the Democrats that they are careful and economic business administrators is just as unsound as their claim that they are sincere in their saloon regulations, and the one claim is made to cover up the falsity of the other. In the Republican ticket and the Republican candidates the people have no inconsistent combination of principles, no unsafe or conflicting business policies, but in them they have their greatest assurance of a sound, economic and forceful business administration. OPPOSING PHILOSOPHERS. ONE would hardly believe that it would remain for a white man to call the attention of the Negro and of all other people to the opposing theories or philosophies which the Negroes themselves are applying to the solution of the race problem in America, but this is just what Ray Stannard Baker has done, and clearly and convincingly in the May number of the American Magazine. He tells us that on this point the race is divided into two great parties, one springing naturally from the thought of the northern Negro, as a product of the freedom which he has enjoyed, although it finds many followers in the South, while the other is "the natural product of far different conditions in the South, where the Negro cannot speak his mind, where he has never realized any large degree of free citizenship." Power of the Purse Strings By LADY VIOLET GREVILLE. The first party is founded on the belief that "persistent, manly agitation is the way to liberty," and believes that discrimination against the race should be met with active moral force. "Do not submit! Agitate, object, fight," said Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois, the leading exponent of this philosophy, and the "Declaration of Principles" of the "Niagara Movement," of which he is the head, says: "We refuse to allow the impression to remain that the Negro-American assents to inferiority, is submissive over oppression and apologetic before insults. Through helplessness we may submit, but the voice of protest of ten million Americans must never cease to assail the ears of their fellows, so long as America is unjust." This party is supported by newspapers and magazines and may be called "the intellectuals." But there is a much larger party, made up of the masses of the common people, both South and North, and its undisputed leader is Booker T. Washington. They are put down as opportunists and optimists. To the question, "What shall we do about discrimination and separation?" they reply. "Make the best of it; overcome it with self-development." To prevent being crushed by circumstances they develop humor; they laugh off their troubles. "Being a hopeful opportunist, Washington takes the Negro as he finds him, often weak, timid ignorant, surrounded by hostile forces and tells him to go to work at anything, anywhere, but go to work, learn how to work better, save money, have a better home, raise a better family, and if the Negro wins by real worth a strong economic position in the country, other rights and privileges will come to him naturally. He should get his rights, not by gift of the white man, but by earning them himself." But these two great Negro parties are working essentially for the same end—better conditions of life for the Negro—and though each is sure that the other side is wrong, both parties are needed and both perform a useful function. They are the highest devel- opment of hat-making. Stetson Hats Are Endangered by Excessive Intercollegiate Contests By PROF. HENRY D. WHITE, Chairman Faculty Committee on Athletics, Williams College. During the past few years the policy of the faculty committee on athletics at Williams college has been to reduce the number of intercollegiate athletic contests. The faculty has formally approved this policy, and is in accord with the resolution passed by the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States at its annual meeting in December, 1906, "that inter-class games and intramural sports in general should be fostered, to the end that a larger number of students may receive the benefits, and that intercollegiate competitions be made rather an incident then the main end of college are the standard of fashion in all parts of the globe. Perfect in quality and beautiful in finish—they are the best that the best workman can do with the best materials.

TABOR GRAND. make rather an incident than the main end of college and university athletic sports." The trustees of the college support this position. The reasons for this movement are obvious. Intercollegiate athletic contests have come to assume an undue importance in the minds of the undergraduates and of the public. A matter essentially secondary has been made of primary importance. A wholesome rivalry has grown into an unwholesome straining for results. The educational aim of colleges and universities has been obscured. A judicious limitation of the number of intercollegiate athletic contests will tend to remove the emphasis now placed on the public and spectacular side, and to place it where it belongs, on the side of the greatest good to the greatest number. Too rapid head growth in a tree is remedied, and the main branches are developed, by pruning at the tip. Scholl's Modern Hand Laundry 1841 ARAPAHDE-PHONE 817 In every country where scientific observations have been made the fair complexion proves to be dying out. It will vanish altogether unless the decline is checked. Everywhere the conclusion is the same—a dark type supercedes the fair. A few years ago the British Medical Journal raised objections to some of the arguments advanced, but at the close it mournfully admitted that "the fair hair so much beloved by poets and artists seems to be encroached upon and even replaced by that of darker hue." It is a melancholy prospect for the esthetic. Even peoples like the Spanish and Italians, with Finest hand work in the city. 2317-19 Larimer Street LADIES' AND GENT'S CLOTHING CLEANED AND REPAIRED C.

Perhaps there is only one indisputable exception—the Arab; for of the tribes which furnished a large proportion of the Roman armies in the earliest time some were blonde, doubtless, as the Samnite. So it was with the Spanish conquerors; one may see flaxen hair, blue eyes, and even red cheeks in Costa Rica, Segovia, and elsewhere not infrequently to this day. But set against the dark colonizing people which might be found the multitude of Gauls, Teutons, Slavs, Greeks, Scandinavians, English in Europe; Persians, Medes, Indian Aryans, Afghans of Asia; the preponderance of the fair is overwhelming. 1914 Arapahoe St. Denver, Colo Open Day and Night Phone Main 3725 THE HORSE WALKING Mr. Le Poer discusses the soldierlike qualities of each nationality represented in the French foreign legion, and there were many.

[Name] Power of the Purse Strings By LADY VIOLET GREVILLE. The old Quakers were taught to cherish the value of money and the fear of God. Nowadays we value money and fear nobody. Women who were formerly romantic and unpractical are learning to attach a new importance to wealth, and especially to wealth that belongs to them. Indeed, if we probe to the root of most conjugal unhappiness, it will be found in money. Just as our forefathers cheerfully cried, "Cherchez la femme!" so we now shrewdly ask: "Where is the money?" Money governs all things—habits, customs, pleasures, pains. It is the cause of the great struggle, never ending, between the "haves" and the "have nots"—the wages of life, and some of us, as has been bitterly said, receive only a dying wage. Whence do matrimonial worries spring? From the power of the purse-strings, tightly-drawn, squeezed together, shut. When you want a fine High Grade Cigar Smoke "Old Nobility" Parents should give their girls an allowance, however small, from their earliest years. To learn economy, it is necessary to spend; and how can one spend what one has not got? Keeping accounts is an admirable practice, though the great Dr. Johnson scoffed at it. "You won't eat less beef to-day," he said, "because you have written down what it cost you yesterday." From which utterance you can gauge the good doctor's capacity for house-keeping. The woman who keeps accounts holds the mastery of her fate in her hands. She does not drift with the tide or worry foolishly.

But why, after all, must such a sordid affair as money embitter our lives and rule our conduct? Why can we not be like those simple Sicilian players who live for art and good-fellowship, who say they do not care for riches so long as "one has a roof and enough to eat," um poro di pasto, e vino rosso, and a little sum to send home to keep us when we are old?

Bond, Prop Denver, Colo A West Philadelphia youth was being taught the festive game of poker the other night, and after the relative value of pairs, threes, flushes and straights had been explained to him play was started. After half an hour or so he surprised the others in the game by asking: "What is it when all the cards are of the same color?" "A flush," was the reply. "Then I'll bet six dollars," and, suiting the action to his words, he threw that amount into the pot. The others, frightened by the play, "wisely" laid down two pairs and threes, which were held against the novice, and he scooped in the pot, laying face up on the table three hearts and two diamonds.

HOW TO PREPARE THE LAND AND WHEN AND HOW TO PLANT. IRRIGATION METHODS CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP GROUND DAMP BUT NOT SOGGY. By W. Paddock of the Colorado Agricultural College. Use alfalfa sod whenever possible. Plow in the spring, from the latter part of April to the middle of May, usually about eight inches deep. Finish the day's work by harrowing all the land that has been plowed with a smoothing harrow. After the ground has been plowed see that it is well leveled so that there will be no high or low places. Harrow a sufficient number of times to put the ground in fine tilth; use a disc if necessary. The seed is planted with one of the standard makes of planters. As four horses are commonly used on a planter, the ground will be pretty thoroughly packed. To relieve this condition the ground is cultivated immediately after planting. This will help to kill out weeds and alfalfa. A heavy four-shovel cultivator, drawn by four horses, is used. The snowels are set to throw the soil toward the rows and to run as deep as they will go. The depth will vary from eight to twelve or thirteen inches. This operation leaves the soil loose, but more or less lumpy, and with an uneven surface, especially on heavy soils. The smoothing harrows should immediately follow the cultivator to re-establish the soil mulch. The number of cultivations depend upon weather conditions and upon the rapidity of the growth of the vines. The cultivator is used a second time as soon as the plants are large enough so that the rows can be easily followed. This time the shovels are not run quite so close to the row, but to the same depth, unless the plants are much developed. Sometimes two cultivations are all that are given, but ordinarily a third follows the second by a week or ten days, and if the vines do not get too large or irrigation becomes necessary, cultivation is continued. Each time the cultivator is used more soil is thrown towards the potato rows and the hollows become deeper; thus ditching is easily done. Ditching and irrigating are delayed as long as possible. The rule is not to irrigate if it can be avoided until the potatoes are in bloom or the tubers are set. The ditching is done with a narrow double mouldboard plow. Three horses are attached and the plow is run twice in each row at about the depth of cultivation, or ten to twelve inches. The ditching takes the place of one cultivation, and if the ground is hard, or if the first irrigation fills the ditches to any extent, the operation is repeated so as to make the ditches deep enough to keep the water below the surface of the potato ridges. From the above it will be seen that much attention is given to keeping the soil loose and porous; also that the potatoes are grown in high ridges. this system has been evolved gradually by our best growers in an unconscious effort to combat disease. It is a complete success on good potato soils, and much may be done with the heavier soils by following the plan mentioned. The details of irrigation, manner of laying out the rows, etc., do not need to be described. But there are a few simple points which are essential to success. First, do not irrigate potatoes up if it can possibly be avoided. Wetting the land at this time is very likely to bring on attacks of disease which will result in a poor stand and serious injury to the plants throughout the growing season. Ordinarily the first irrigation should not be given until the tubers are set. If the tubers have a chance to form in a comparatively dry soil, the majority of them will be formed at one time; then when water is applied all will have an equal chance to develop; the result should be a crop of even-sized potatoes. The water should always run shallow in the furrows; never deep enough to stand around the tubers, but a sufficient amount applied so that the moisture may seep up into the ridges. In this way the soil about the growing tubers may be kept damp but not soggy. This is the ideal condition for the potato plant but unfavorable for the growth of potato diseases. An effort should be made to keep the soil moisture uniform by frequent light irrigations. If the ground is allowed to become dry, the growth of the tubers is checked; then when water is again applied, second growth starts in, which results in knobs and irregular growths. The tubers of some varieties crack badly under this treatment. It is essential that the potatoes should mature in comparatively dry soil. If the soil is kept wet until harvest time, the tubers contain an excess of moisture and this necessarily results in poor quality. Then, too, potatoes dug when the soil is wet present a poor appearance on the market, because of the quantity of soil which is bound to stick to them. In order to have the soil in proper condition at digging time, and the potatoes of the best quality, it is necessary to stop irrigation three or four weeks before the usual time for frost ADMIRAL EVANS LEAVES FLEET TURNS OVER THE COMMAND TO REAR ADMIRAL CHARLES M. THOMAS. TO RETIRE IN AUGUST HIS ELOQUENT ADDRESS OF FAREWELL IS READ ON EACH OF THE SHIPS. San Francisco, Cal.-Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans' flag was hauled down Saturday from the main truck of the battleship Connecticut, in San Francisco harbor amid a salute of thirteen guns, and the first commander-in-chief of America's first battleship fleet is now on his way to his home in Washington to remain on waiting orders until the date of his retirement for age on his sixty-second birthday, the 18th of August. Accompanied by members of his family and his staff, Admiral Evans left at 6:20 p. m. No advance announcement of the hour of departure had been made, in order that crowds at the ferry terminal and the Oakland railways might be avoided. As the blue ensign of the retiring commander fluttered down to the after bridge of the Connecticut, a new flag of similar design was broken out in token of the presence of a new chief, Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, who brought the ships from Magdalena bay to Santa Cruz, and who acted for Admiral Evans at all the South American and Southern California social functions of the cruise, taking over control of the big fleet in his own right. The new commander was saluted by thirteen guns, fired from every ship in the fleet. On board each of the sixteen battleships, the six torpedo boat destroyers and the auxiliaries of the Atlantic fleet an address from the departing commander-in-chief was read. Admiral Evans was not permitted by his physician to go aboard the Connecticut during the ceremonies attending his relinquishment of active naval service. The address expressed the great regret the admiral felt in leaving the ships and his thanks for the loyal support of the men and officers during his long tour of command. The address in full was as follows: "United States Atlantic Fleet, U. S. S. Connecticut, Flagship. "San Francisco, Cal., May 9, 1908. "Fleet General Order, No. 9. "Upon relinquishing command of the United States Atlantic fleet and hauling down my flag this day aboard the U. S. S. Connecticut, flagship, I desire to express to the officers and men of the fleet my great regret at leaving them and my appreciation and hearty thanks for their continuous and loyal support. It has been a source of much gratification and pride to me throughout my period of command, not only to see the number of vessels in the fleets steadily increase and the units become more and more formidable, but to see the steady improvement in drill, shooting and in everything that tends to efficiency, and especially to witness the growth of that feeling of comradeship and spirit which transforms a group of vessels into an efficient war fleet. I am sure that both officers and men feel this same pride in the great increase of efficiency in these matters, and, as it has been accomplished through their loyalty and zeal, to them I extend my thanks for all that they have done. "In take leave of them, I wish to say to each and every one that they have my warmest sympathy and best wishes for continued prosperity and good fortune in the future. I shall always watch their movements with pride and interest, and I trust they will extend to my successors the same loyalty and hearty support that they have always given me in order that I may be able to see from my home the fleet which I am now leaving progress steadily in efficiency, so that it may justify the faith of our people that our war fleet is and always will be a perfect source of strength for upholding the safety and honor of our flag and 'security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasions.' "I desire that this order may be read as soon as possible at a special muster aboard every ship in the fleet as a farewell greeting from a departing commander-in-chief, in whose heart the officers and men will ever find the warmest sympathy. (Signed) "R. D. EVANS, "Rear Admiral U. S. N. "Commander-in-Chief United States Atlantic Fleet." The salutes prescribed by naval regulations were the only manifestations of pomp or ceremony attending Admiral Thomas' assumption of command. It was his desire that the requirements of the occasion should be as simple as possible. Not long after his flag was dying he had returned to the shore to participate in the welcome which Oakland, across the bay—desired to extend to the fleet. Ater a late night ashore, attending the city banquet at the St. Francis and the Greenway ball at the Fairmont hotel, senior and junior officers alike were turned our early next morning to march in a brigade parade of blue-jackets and marines from the combined fleets through the streets of Oakland and in review of the secretary of the navy, Oakland being his home city. Another long week of never-ending gayeties is before the officers and men of the Atlantic fleet here before they set sail for Seattle and other cities on Puget sound on May 18th.

Advice Hillsborough, Hampshire CONFERENCE OF THE GOVERNORS ADDRESSES BY ANDREW CARNE GIE, JOHN MITCHELL AND SECRETARY ROOT. WASTE OF RESOURCES TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT OF COAL IN DEVELOPED MINES IS LOST. Washington.—At the afternoon session of the conference of governors Wednesday Andrew Carnegie, in introducing his remarks, declared that most presidents follow precedents, but President Roosevelt initiates them. Mr. Carnegie said: "I urge on the executives here assembled as our greatest need today the need for better and more practical knowledge. It was newer more true than now, that 'knowledge is power.' The states have done much, the federal government has done much, individual men have done much for research; in the history of this country, knowledge has advanced as never before, and thereby the materials and forces of nature have been brought under control as no man dreamed when the nation was founded. "In conclusion, Mr. President and governors of our states, it seems to me our duty is: "First, conservation of forests, for no forests, no long navigable rivers; no rivers, no cheap transportation." Second, to systematize our water transportation, putting the whole work in the hands of the reclamation service, which has already proved itself highly capable by its admirable work. Cheap water transportation for heavy freights brings many advantages and means great saving of our ore supplies. Railroads require much steel, water does not. "Third, conservation of soil. More than a thousand millions of tons of our richest soil are swept into the sea every year, clogging the rivers on its way and filling our harbors. Less soil, less crops; less crops, less commerce; less wealth." John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, spoke next. "Mining experts predict," said he, "that at present methods of production the coal deposits of the United States will be entirely exhausted within two hundred years. It is contended by many competent investigators that sixty per cent. of our coal supply is destroyed or wasted because it is impracticable or unprofitable to mine it under present commercial conditions. "With observation and experience I am constrained to believe that this estimate is too high. I am convinced, however, that by the present methods of mining not less than twenty-five per cent of the coal in mines that have been developed is lost beyond hope or possibility of recovery. "The great waste in the production of coal does not at all approximate, however, the waste and extravagance in its consumption. It is interesting to note that under the present process of burning only from five to ten percent. of the heat units in bituminous coal are utilized, the remaining ninety or ninety-five per cent. being wasted. "Our extravagant wastefulness in the use of our fuel supply, both in production and consumption, is equalled only by our criminal disregard of the personal safety of the men who toil in the mines. "It is a sad commentary upon our vaunted civilization that more men are killed or crippled in mining in the United States than in any other nation on earth." The climax of the afternoon session was the speech of Secretary Root, who was received with great enthusiasm. He said: "The constitution of the United States prohibits the states from making any agreement with each other without the consent of Congress, but you can make any number of agreements with the consent of Congress. Why should not the powers that are reserved to the state sovereignty be exercised by those sovereignties with a wise regard for the common interests? "It is high time that the sovereign states of the union should begin to perform their duties with reference not only to their own individual local interests, but with reference to the common good. I regard this meeting as marking a new departure—the beginning of an era in which the states of the union will exercise their reserved powers upon a higher plane of patriotism and love of country than has ever existed before." Two ideas destined to mark material progress in America's future, resulted from the first day's conference. The first is that a permanent organization by the states and the nation is necessary and will likely result from the present conference, to accomplish the end sought. The second—suggested by Secretary Root—is that there is no limitation by the constitution to the agreements which may be made between the states, subject to the approval of Congress. The two ideas, fully developed, it is predicted, would result in the conservation of the energies and resources of the nation through uniform and unconflicting laws, both national and state. Moderate Socialists Prevail. Chicago—An open letter addressed to President Roosevelt, severely scoring the president for his alleged disparaging remarks about Socialists in his last message to Congress, caused a lively debate at the Socialist national convention. When the final vote was taken it appeared that a majority of the delegates agreed with the leaders, who held that the letter was not proper in tone nor in diction to be sent from a national convention to the president of the United States, and by a decisive vote refused to sanction it.

The man who puts up the money should not shirk the responsibility of choosing the paint. True, the painter ought to know paint better than the banker, the professional man or the merchant.

A young woman of a religious turn of mind wished to announce to a friend the birth of her first-born child. She sent the following telegram: "Isaiah, 9-6," which, being interpreted, read, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." The friend, more literal and less familiar with the prophets, read the message, and said to her husband: "Margaret has a boy, but why on earth did she name him Isaiah? He must be a healthy chap, though, for he weighs nine pounds and six ounces."—Woman's Home Companion. You Would Not Accept Counterfeit Money, Why Accept Counterfeit Goods?

Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLIN-SONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken. Manufactured by Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

The Colorado Statesman 1824 CURTIS STREET ROOM 25. --- J. B. BROWN To the directoire, that picturesque period, belongs the figure on the left of the group which our artist has sketched on this page. The skirt is long, plain and clinging, made of a very fine serge striped in two shades of silver-gray, the stripes so arranged that they meet in points both at the front and at the back seams. The directoire coat is of gray silk, matching the darker stripe on the skirt in tone, and is somewhat short-waisted; it is cut away over a long square-basqued waistcoat of rose-colored brocade which hangs straight, and is only held to the figure by bands of silk, belonging to the fronts of the coat, which pass through slits in the waistcoat and are tied in a loose bow in front, rather accentuating the short-waisted effect. The coat has very large soft revers, which fall in folds, and are edged with a flat silk quilling, a similar quilling adorning the wide turned-back cuff at the elbow. Under the coat is worn a lawn blouse with a very voluminous double "water-fall" of frills down the front. The hat is of gray silk with a large full crown and the brim lined with rose color, and trimmed with masses of roses and gray plumes; while the parasol to accompany the costume is made of deep frills of rose silk. The second figure in the illustration is wearing a dress of volle in the new soft shade of "grasshopper" green, green being one of the most fashionable colors this spring. The dress is in the princess style, and fitted to the waist at each side in front by a number of little upright tucks, which are left loose above and below the waist, where their services are no longer needed. A broad shaped panel of coarse net, braided all over the same color as the dress and edged with a border of satin, goes the whole length of the dress from bust to feet, where it is met by a number of horizontal tucks which rise in an upward line to the panel of embroidered net. Here and there on the panel is inserted a piece of satin, which has the appearance of being threaded through the braiding; and similarly braided motifs in net appear on the skirt above the tucks. The dress is filled in from the bust to the throat with a guipure of lace and net, finished with a tiny box of black velvet at the neck. Over all is worn a charmingly original coat, made of strips of wide chine ribbon. Specialist Tells How Much Good They Do Suffering Women. "Imitate your cat, madam, and take a sun bath these spring mornings if you want to get rid of your nerves," said a Boston specialist to one of his patients recently. "See how lazy and happy pussy looks as he stretches his body and blinks his eyes in the morning sun. If cats had nerve diseases this would be the best thing in the world to cure them. "Every sanitarium has its sun room now, but women ought not to wait till they have reached the sanitarium stage of breaking down before they indulge in anything as cheap as a sun bath. Any woman who has a south window and an easy chair can have a sun bath every morning this spring if she only determines to take it. If the potatoes have to be peeled, or the stockings darned, they can be done during the sun bath, but the best way of all is to take it just as the cat does, in the laziest fashion possible. Run the shade way up to the sash, move your chair within range of the sunlight and luxuriate for half an hour. It's better than gallons of spring medicine, and may save hours and hours of dullness or staying in bed later on. "One of my patients who had a severe case of nervous prostration last spring brought herself out of it after I had tried every thing, just by chasing the sun around the house from window to window, so that she got every bit that came in during the day. "Indian women have the most placid nerves of any race of people in the world, probably, and doctors are beginning to think it is because they sit in the sun so much. An Indian woman is as fond of the sun outside her wigwam as the cat is of his favorite sun spot. They sit in it and vegetate for hours at a time, scarcely winking the eyes. "There's no danger of women vegetating these days, so it's quite safe to advise one to sit in the sun as much as she can. It's good for her anyway, but especially so if she's nervous." Wide-Brimmed "Picture Effects." That the mushroom has not as yet been completely ousted is shown by the charming "picture" hats developed in tulle and malinette. The feature which first attracts attention to them is the huge, almost overpowering, crown of yards and yards of net, plaited into a high, broad series of puffs floating over a velvet band defining the inner edge of the wide, drooping brim which is velvet-piped and sometimes dented at intervals. Such hats as those bear a strong resemblance to those worn by the bellies of Washington's period, and then, as now, surmounting wondrous erections of hair pads, curls and puffs. LACE COATS MUCH WORN. Long Garments Just Now in the Extreme of Fashion. Worn with the chiffon, batiste, China silk and handkerchief linen princess frocks of the more elaborate sort, as well as with foulards, volles and tailored linens, are lace coats of various types, although the longer ones are at present deemed the more fashionable. One design much admired for its graceful lines, is, of course, meshed lace, appliqued with white silk scrolls. The fronts and back hang loosely from the shoulders and the slashed under-arm seams are joined together loosely with loops and chenille-tasseled ends of black velvet ribbon. A similar bow joins the fronts at the bust, and in addition to being collarless, the coat is practically sleeveless, as only short, loose lace caps finish the arm-size. Another coat of white, square mesh net, heavily darned in bold design, has pointed sides, curved, gaping fronts, and close fitting elbow sleeves and is belted to the figure by means of a wide taffeta band, beginning at the side seams and, passing through a slit several inches from the edge of the fronts, this forming a girdle for the gown. A coat greatly affected by women who go in for long line effects, is short directly at the back and front, but has wide tab sides which reach almost to the edge of the skirt, and Greek sleeves, short at the shoulder top and with long, pointed side ends terminating with chenille tassels. DRESS ACCESSORIES. No. 1 is a smart tie and jabot effect in sheer organdie; has a tiny frill of Val. edge, the lace being painted in delicate colors. No. 2 is a Beau Brummel jabot; is a graceful fall of handsome lace headed with a bow of black velvet. No. 3 shows a tailored tie; is one plain bow of black satin, backed by a frill of sheer, embroidered linen. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. - OPP.

IT'S SO DIFFERENT THE PASTIME SOCIAL CLUB. the best Equipped Pleasuae Resort in the West. Denver, Colo RESERVOIRS ARE PROPOSED IN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. If Cutting of Forests Can Be Stopped Enormous Wealth May Be Reaped from Water of Streams, Says One Report. Washington.—The greatest development of water power recorded in the United States has been accomplished during the last few years on the rivers which drain the southern Appalachian mountains, according to an official report of the water resources of this region. It is estimated that there is at least 2,800,000 indicated horsepower from the streams which have their headwaters on this watershed and more than half of this power is available for economic development. Only a small part of this has been used, but that which has been utilized has been one of the most important factors in the recent industrial development of the south. One great difficulty encountered by users of water power is that it cannot be had the whole year, but must be supplemented for a time each summer by costly fuel power, the streams running too low to be of service. As the years go on the low water periods are growing longer. This is because the forests at the headwaters of the streams are being cut off, with the result that the melting winter snows and the spring rains pour off the denuded and hardened land in devastating floods, sending down for a few weeks far more water than they can use and reducing the capacity and usefulness of their millponds by filling them with hundreds of tons of sand and soil which the floods scour off the unprotected upper slopes. If indiscriminate cutting of the forests on the crests of the watershed can be stopped there is a possibility, according to a report by experts, of increasing the development of power up to three to 30 times the 1,400,000 horsepower at present available. The method proposed to develop the Appalachian river resources to the total of 42,000,000 horsepower is to have storage reservoirs which would catch the surplus waters of the spring and retain them until the summer, when the mills now have to fall back on fuel or close. The United States geological survey has kept records of stream flow in the Appalachians for a number of years and recently made a careful study of the possibilities of storage reservoirs in that region. The forest service has published its report under the title "The Relation of the Southern Appalachian Mountains to the Development of Waterpower." Experts of the geological survey who made the investigation, after picking out reservoir sites and estimating their capacity and the area from which they would receive the run-off, consider the figures given very conservative. Even with only 1,400,000 horsepower the annual return at $20 a horsepower per year would amount to $28,000,000, equal to a gross income of three per cent. on a capital of about $923,000,000. FIND RARE LACE IN TRUNK. Barber Spends $4.50 at Auction and Gets $3,000 Bargain. Kalamazoo, Mich.—"This gentlemen, is a trunk," said the auctioneer, dragging it forward from the heap of unclaimed goods he was "auctioning off" for an express company. "A trunk," repeated the auctioneer. "It's full of something, the Lord knows what. Too heavy to be atmosphere and too light to be pig iron. Speak up, gentlemen, take a chance. How much am I offered?" The bids ran from 25 cents to $4.50, and the auctioneer promptly closed the sale. The high bidder, a local barber, loaded his purchase into an express wagon and took it home. There he broke the seal and discovered that he had bought for $4.50 a quantity of lace which local merchants declare is worth in the retail market between $2,000 and $3,000. The trunk came to Kalamazoo from Detroit with a lot of other unclaimed stuff from the express company's office there. Kalamazoo is one of the selling points for such goods. The receptacle was sealed and the seal was not broken. On it was the address, "Mrs. J. W. Weber, Detroit, Mich., U. S. A." CIGARS AT 15 CENTS PER 100. So an Entry in an Old-Time Ledger Shows. Wayne, Pa.—Two old ledgers, which were in use for many years in the old Mather homestead in Rednor, now the Ellison property, have recently come into the possession of John L. Mather of Wayne. One of the books was used by Mr. Mather's great-great-great-grandfather, and the entries start in 1759. They are continued in the second book for a period extending over 75 years. One of the interesting features contained in the old ledgers is the change in 1816 from the English system of pounds, shillings and pence to the United States system of dollars and cents. The books are in excellent state of preservation and the writing is not faded. One notation that would make the average smoker wonder what sort of tobacco was used in the good old days is: "To 100 cigars, 15 cents."
