MONEY SAVED BY PATRONIZING MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY RETALIATION Threatened on the Southern States by Republicans, on account of the Refusal of Such States to not Allow Negroes their Suffrage. VOL. XIV, RETALI Threatened on the Southern account of the Refusal Allow Negroes The following editorial appeared in the Denver Republican, May 24th: History is inclined to repeat itself in election matters. In the house of representatives the blood of the South has been stirred because the administration forces are harking back to the "force bill" and threatening its restoration in milder form. Mr. Bonynge has had his long sought for amendment to the federal election laws providing for federal recognition of congressional elections inserted in the campaign publicity bill and "state rights" men see danger ahead. Retaliation from Republicans is threatened on the Southern states that refuse to permit the Negroes to vote, and Mr. Sharp Williams and his cohorts are going to wade in blood to the bridle bits before they permit the Negro to control or congress to reduce their representation in the house. The whole business is crude and is another evidence of the extreme conservatism of the nation as evidenced in the congressional laws. If congress is going to supervise campaign contributions to elections would it be not well for congress to take recognition of the fact that elections are costly to candidates and that it might be good for the nation as a whole to bear the necessary expenses? If the nation took such a plunge the states might follow suit and there would be good reason for state and federal authorities taking steps to limit the individual candidate's bills. If the principle of representation according to vote is to prevail then there must be evolutionary work done in the South; and the states which fear the colored vote would, in chosing between two evils, prefer to get along with a few congressmen less rather than have white domination interfered with. The temperance wave which has affected the South to such an extent of late may clarify the race question. Another matter, which outside of congress, however, that ought to have some consideration at this time, is representation in the national conventions. These gatherings are not representative of the parties and they cannot be under existing rules. State conventions are made up according to party vote; national conventions according to congressional representation. The "solid South" has an equal representation in a Republican national convention with what it has in a Democratic convention and the Republican states of the North have the same representation in a Republican convention with that accorded them in a Democratic convention. But, "whate'er is best administered is best." The Republicans are going to have Taft and the Democrats are going to have Bryan and the same result would have been reached had there been a very narrow rim from the South in one convention and a Bryan black map in the other.

The White Tent and the Green When our country was severed by fraternal strifs And its honor lay bleeding with fast ebbing life. Who came to its rescue and said, "We can die, But the flag of our country must wave from on high!" "Twas an army of boys whose white tents were seen All over the land, but now they are green. They left happy homes where their wants were supplied. They left friends and kindred and fair Cupids side; They left the old plow-share to rust in the field And went forth to answer their country's appeal. Yes, they rushed with their muskets, knapsack and canteen. Their tents were then white, but now they are green. From the mountains, the plains and the valleys they came, And throughout the Southland on kindled a flame Which ceased not its burning till victory was won, And the song of Reunion and Freedom was sung By the light of that flame their white tents were seen. But now overhead is a carpet of green. Those heroes who sank 'neath the war demon's tread, And who are now sleeping the sleep of the dead, Must not be forgotten; the flowers of May Should deck their lone tents on Memorial Day. Mid the bursting of steel and the cannon's red glare Their houses were white, but now they are green. Not alone to the dead must our kind deeds unfold, But alike to the living, the boys now grown old; They stood midst the strife and 'tis only God's will That keeps them from resting out there on the hill. They are standing on picket, majestic, serene, One foot in the white and one in the green. A SALE BILL OF YEARS AGO.

Corin who is a colored man. sued the cemetery because the final payment on a lot was refused on the ground that the management had not previously known he was of African descent. He had already buried a child in the lot. The cemetery's bylaws prohibit the sale of a lot to a person of African descent. The court now holds that in this case no proof was submitted to show that Corin's ancestors were Africans.

They were employed by Leigh Hunt, an American capitalist, who is said to have large interests in Manchuria and Corea, and who has some original notions as to the possibilities of cotton culture in the Soudan. Triplett returned after two years' absence. Smith died. Powell has recently returned to recover from the debilitating effects of the tropical climate. NO. 36. GUATEMALA ATROGITIES. That human life in Guatemala, Central America, is held cheaply, and taken to gratify the mere whim of officials in governmental circles, as shown by the contents of a letter just received by a Crawfordsville woman from her married sister, is a resident of that republic. The husband of the writer is employed on a steamship that regularly makes a port in Guatemala, but owing to the orders of the government, he is unable to get his wife out of the republic, for the President has issued an order that, for the present at least, no person shall leave the country. "We are having an awful time here," writes the woman to her sister. "The President of Guatemala had seventy-six men shot to death here April 21, and all of them were innocent men save three. The president was going to meet our new American minister, who had just arrived, when three conspirators attempted to take his life. They were members of his body guard. One bullet passed through the President's hat and another bullet struck and killed his nephew, who was with him. There were but three men who knew of the plot, and the rest of the guard saved the President. He was so furious that he had all of the body guard, together with other persons, shot, making seventy-six in all. When the men were killed the bodies were piled on one big wagon and were hauled to the cemetery, two miles away. A trail of blood could be traced from the plaza to the graveyard. Eight of the men shot had been in jail since the bomb thowing in April. Yesterday fifteen more men and three women were shot. Today General Rice is to be shot. He is a fine man, and everybody likes him. The fathers of the guards shot on the first day have all been shot. "We think Mexico or the United States will put a stop to this cruelty. The half has not yet been told. No news of the condition is allowed to get out. If this letter was mailed here, you would not get it, and I am sending it to New Orleans by my husband. We cannot leave the city of Guatemala. Many of the diplomates who come here are, upon their arrival, paid more by the government of Guatemala to keep quiet than they are by their own countries. They are afraid to tell what is going on in Guatemala."—Freeman. (Washington Star, May 15.) The justices of the District Supreme Court today reappointed James F. Oyster, William V Cox and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell members of the boaad of education. The present terms of these three members will expire July 1 BA. J. H.

CONFEDERATE PASSING OF STEPHEN D, LEE, COMMANDER.IN.CHIEF CON- FEDERATE VETERANS. LIEUTENANT GENERAL DEATH COMES AT VICKSBURG WHILE PREPARING FOR COM- ING REUNION. Vicksburg, Miss.—Genera) Stephen D. Lee, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, and one of the last three surviving lieutenant- generals of the Confederacy, died here Friday at the ~esidence of Captain W. T. Ridby. Over-exertion last Thursday in the ceremonies attending the reunion of Iowa and Wisconsin veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic at Vicks- burg brought about General Lee's ill- ness. Following the reception of the Northern visitors, in which General Lee took a leading part, he suffered an attack of acute indigestion, which final- ly occasioned his death. At the time of his death, although not a ranking officer of the Confeder- ate veterans, General Lee was com- mander-in-chief. Lieutenant-General A. P. Stewart of Chattanooga is ranking officer, but on account of his infirmities he has not taken an active part in the affairs of the organization for many years, General Lee was born in South Caro- lina in 1833, He received his appoint- ment to the United States Military academy at West Point and graduated at that Institution, receiving his com: mission in the artillery. At the out- break of the Civil War General Lee re- signed from the United States army and entered the Confederacy. He served in the Confederate army in Virginia until after the battle of An- tietam, when he was made a brigadier general and sent to Vicksburg. General Lee played a prominent part in the siege of Vicksburg, and follow- ing the fall of that city was taken pris oner. He was later exchanged, pro- moted to the rank of major general and ordered to the southwest. He was subsequently assigned to the Army of the Tennessee, with the rank of lien- tenant general, and served until the close of hostilities. At the close of the war General Lee devoted himself to the education of the Southern youths as president of the Mississippi Agricui- tural and Mechanical college. On the death of General John B. Gor- don, General Lee was unanimously chosen commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, and was always the most conspicuous figure at the annual reunions. Just before his death he was preparing for the re union June §th at Birmingham, and had already completed the task of as- signing commanders and sponsors for those positions which are appointive on such occasions. General Lee held under the United States government the office of commis- sioner of Vicksburg National Military park. It was at this park that several handsome monuments were unveiled by the Iowa and Wisconsin veterans Thursday. General Lee's home was at Colum- bus, Mississippi. President Roosevelt, who was a great admirer of General Lee, was among the drst to send condolences, An incident in connection with Gen- eral Lee's military career not general- ly known is the fact that he directed the firing of the first shot of the Civil War. He was one of the two officers of the South Carolina troops sent by General Beauregard to demand the surrender of Fort Sumter, and upon the refusal of this demand he ordered the nearest battery to fire on the fort. Fatalities by Kansas Storm. ‘Topeka, Kansas.—A terrific wind- storm of almost the proportions of a tornado, which passed over the south- ern part of Jewell county ‘Thursday night killed one man and injured twenty-two persons, seven of them probably fatally.

Clinton, T.—At 1 o'clock Friday morning the jury in the Snell case, after having been out six hours, brought in a verdict setting aside the will.

La Junta, Colo.—Thursday was largely devoted by the citizens of every Colorado town in the Arkansas valley east of Rocky Ford to celebrat- ing the completion of the Arkansas valley Branch of the Santa Fe railroad.

Evidently the Bushby Clarion Had @ Genius on Its Staff. ‘The editor of the Bushby Clarion leaned back in his chair and surveyed his visitor with a solemn and unwink- ing gaze. “You want to know if (here's any good reporter in this town?” he said, impressively. “Well, there is. ‘There's Gid Hobart.” “What sort of work can he do?” asked the visitor. “His capabilities haven't had their full chance yet,” said the editor, siow- ly, “but he’s getting on, and I’m afraid we shall lose him before long. Why. last week that fellow wrote a two column account of a fire that war thrilling, I tell you!” “Farmhouse, old mother, grand: father born there, and so forth, 1 sup pose?” sald the visitor. “No, sir!” said the editor. “It was ® deserted hen-house, that’s what it was. I can tell you, that takes talent! We can't expect to keep Gid with us always.”—Youth's Companion, NO SKIN LEFT ON BODY.

MAY BE DANGEROUS HIS DAUGHTER'S WEDDING IS TO TAKE PLACE IN LONDON NEXT SEPTEMBER. Colorado Springs, Colo. — Against the advice of his physicians, as well as some of his most intimate friends, who fear the journey may result fatally to him, General William J. Palmer has decided to make a long trip to England, accompanied by the members of his family, a physician, trained nurses and a small army of servants. General Palmer, it will be remembered, while horseback riding in the Garden of the Gods two years ago, was thrown from his horse and had his neck broken. He partially recovered from his injury, but he has been paralyzed from the hips down ever since, and the attending physicians have always given strict orders that in moving him about, the greatest care be exercised that his body receives no sudden jar. The proposed trip to England, the doctors say, is extremely hazardous in view of the extreme care that is necessary to move the millionaire philanthropist. In London Miss Marjorie Palmer will become the bride of Capt. Richard Wellesley. The wedding is the special object of General Palmer's trip. The ceremony was to have taken place at Glen Erye in June, but was postponed until September and will be celebrated in London, owing to the inability of Captain Wellesley to come to America from Egypt where he is stationed. Elaborate preparations have been made and every precaution taken to safeguard General Palmer. The journey to New York will be made in a private car specially fitted for General Palmer's use, and a special suite has been altered to suit the general's needs in the steamship Minneapolis. At London, General Palmer will be joined by his eldest daughter, Mrs. Leopold Hamilton, whose marriage at Glen Erye last winter was an event of the social season, and by Miss Dorothy, his second daughter, who has devoted her life to work among the slums of London. Second Crop of Blossoms. Denver—A Florence correspondent says that darkness has been turned to light for the Florence and Beaver creek fruit growers. After the heavy freeze of April 25th it was thought that all fruit had been ruined, but since then, in many cases, the trees have germinated a second crop of blossoms and there will be ample fruit. The apple trees are doing well and while some will have no fruit, others will be loaded. The first gooseberries and currants will be on the market this week, and strawberries will come in about the middle of June. There will be many peaches, and the grape crop will be almost normal. Railroaded to State Prison Pueblo, Colo.—In a little more than an hour after he was brought into court, Ed McDonald, a negro, who, in attempting to escape from the county jail, assaulted and almost killed Night Jaller Jeff Steele, had pleaded guilty and was on his way to Canon City to serve thirteen to fourteen years, which is the limit on the charge of assault with attempt to murder. McDonald had been kept in Colorado Springs through fear of mob violence and was brought to Pueblo early Tuesday morning. The information was read to McDonald and he immediately entered a plea of guilty. But two witnesses were examined. Room In the Insane Asylum. Denver.—The county authorities have been notified that on August 1st accommodations will be provided at the insane asylum at Pueblo for sixty female patients from this county. There are now at the insane ward at the county hospital seventy-five women who have been committed to the state institution. They have been held here because there was no room for them at Pueblo. The congested condition of the county detention place will now be relieved, and Sheriff Nisbet will make arrangements to convey the women to the state institution in a body on the morning of August 1st. Mesa Verde National Park. Denver.—Contract has been let by the government for developing the water supply for the Mesa Verde National park and building a road through the park from Mancos. The surveys for the improvements have been made, and now that the money for them has been provided by the federal government the work will be pushed to completion this summer. Excavating in the Cannonball ruins, near Mancos, will be begun by the Colorado Society of Archaeology about June 15th under the direction of Professor Edgar L. Hewitt and Dr. A. J. Fynn. H. C. Watson of Greeley, the newly elected commander of the Department of Colorado and Wyoming, G. A. R. has been commissioned by Governor Buchtel an ex-officio member of the board of control of the Soldiers' and Sailors' home. The law requires that serve on the board. Three students of the State University will join parties of scientists who, under the auspices of the American Institute of Archaeology, will explore ruins in the prehistoric regions of the Rocky mountains this summer. One expedition will work in Utah, one in New Mexico and another in Colorado. COLORADO ITEMS A camp of Spanish War Veterans is to be organized at Greeley. The headquarters of the forest supervisor of the Medicine Bow national forest, Estes Park, have been restored to Fort Collins. By a union of Methodists and Congregationalists a new church has been erected at Coal Creek, which is larger than the church burned last June. The Elks' club at Canon City has signed an agreement to quit the sale of liquor to its members or others pending a decision by the state Supreme Court. Harry Dowell of Greeley, formerly of the Victor schools, has a snowball bush in his yard upon which three-fourths of the blossoms are a bright scarlet. Company C of Ault is preparing to send a rifle team to the state encampment at Golden next July. The team will consist of eight men under Lieutenant Swone. The Ohio association of Boulder is making preparations to give the Ohio delegates to the Democratic National Convention a great outing after that convention adjourns. The Pioneers' Society of Colorado and the Sons of Colorado are considering a proposition to purchase the Chamber of Commerce building in Denver as permanent headquarters. Six Greeley Business men, happy over the rain of Saturday and Sunday, have computed that the fall, which was 2.75 inches in the Greeley district, means that each acre received 315 tons of water. The Fruit Belt Power Company, an auxiliary of the Central Colorado Power Company, has announced that work will be started on the Grand Junction street car system about October 1st. The school board of district No. 1, Pueblo, will employ a physical director to conduct athletics. It has arranged for an athletic field in one of the parks and for the use of the Mineral Palace. Preston Smith, known as the champion broncho buster of Middle Park, was almost instantly killed May 23rd, while breaking a broncho on Troublesome ranch, a few miles from Sulphur Springs. Walter F. Daly, chief of the Colorado department of the naturalization bureau, has left Denver to make a tour of the courts in Nebraska, Utah and Colorado to attend hearings in the naturalization cases. Florence people will make a "Tag Day" of the Fourth of July, when a big celebration will be held by the Business Men's Association for the benefit of the public library. They will try to tag and tax everybody. The tri-county fair board held a meeting at Aspen and elected W. S. Copeland president and Charles Dailey secretary. It was decided to have a strawberry shortcake day, probably to be held June 20th. The general announcement of the eleventh annual assembly of the Colorado Chautauqua Association, to be held, at Boulder July 4th to August 14th, has just been issued. It is a book of forty-four pages. For the first time in the history of the town Lyons now has a Sunday mail.

Alderson, president of the Colorado School of Mines, has started on his European tour of inspection, accompanied by Mrs. Alderson, Dr. Alderson will study methods in vogue in mining school of the old world. The Florence Civic Improvement league, after finishing its work of cleaning up the accumulation of filth of the last twenty-five years in Florence, is now turning its attention to the beautification of the school yards at the three buildings. Mrs. Elizabeth Tabor, widow of the late Senator H. A. W. Tabor, has finally raised money to pay the last mortgage, of about $7,500, on the Matchless mine at Leadville, and has made arrangements by which it will be worked on lease. Secretary Mills of the Denver Chamber of Commerce received a telegram from Congressman Bonyngs, stating that the bill for the purchase of the Rucker and Fabian tracts, adjoining Fort Logan, has passed both houses of Congress and the $110,000 to be paid for the land will soon be available. The tracts contain 340 acres. Deputy Cattle Inspector Rowe, at Greeley, is credited with saying that there are less than 3,000 head of cattle now on feed in northern Colorado. Of these 2,000 are at Longmont, 600 at Eaton, 200 at Loveland and none in Fort Collins or Greeley. Longmont fed 6,000 head this season, more than any locality in northern Colorado, where a total of 20,000 were prepared for market. St. Paul's M. E. church in Denver is to have one of the most unique institutional churches in the country to be erected at the cost of $45,000. Of this sum $25,000 was voted to the church at the meeting of the boards of the Southern Methodist churches in St. Joseph, Missouri, May 6th, on the condition that $10,000 was raised by the congregation. The church will have rooms for young men and women of small salaries, kitchen dining room, infirmary and gymnasium, club rooms, etc. The pastor is Rev. P. T. Ramsey. Plans for the construction of three buildings, at an aggregate cost of $200,000, are announced by the authorities of Colorado college at Colorado Springs. A 100,000 men's dormitory, $50,000 college Y. M. C. A. and $50,000 gymnasium are projected. The Y. M. C. A. building will be built first.

WHEN THE CRUEL WAR IS OVER. Nobody can fathom the mysteries of politics. The public mind is so complex that the wisest of political prognosticators at their best are mere guessers. Yet political results usually follow the course of true reasoning. To shape the public mind is the work of statesmen and great political leaders. Even with a great principle to fight for, and able candidates to lead, no element among voters can wisely be neglected. The advice of a fool is often worth having, especially in politics. Narrow minds are responsible for many great disasters, but the truth comes to light only when the cruel war is over. Now let us all get together, and do some thinking. PUEBLO'S NIGHT-RIDER. JIM LYNN, Pueblo's Negro murderer, deserves to hang, if he is sane, and there is little chance to doubt that he will hang without undue delay, whether he is sane or not. But the alacrity with which other Pueblo law-breakers can organize a mob to lynch a Negro law-breaker is no credit to the people of Pueblo, but is a positive disgrace to Pueblo's police officials. There have been numerous atrocious murders in Colorado in the past year, but in other communities the mob has not been desperately in evidence. The murder of an innocent priest in Denver was the most aggravating crime that has been committed in Colorado for years, but the murderer remained here and was tried and convicted without mob interference. When a man can ride through the streets of Pueblo and raise a mob to march on the jail by merely calling on bystanders to follow him, without the least determined show of police resistance, it looks very much like police connivance. The prompt arrest of the man on horseback was the reasonable thing to expect, and such an arrest would have broken up the mob of nine-o'clock loafers. It does not matter that Lynn was not at the jail and that therefore their quest was fruitless; that facedoes no excuse he remissness of the police. No Negro could begin to duplicate such an act without having a squad of police on his back in a short while, and we, with everybody else, would commend the arrest. But the arrest of a white mob-raiser is no more difficult and no less commendable. It is never the punishment of the Negro criminal that we seek to prevent, but we appeal to the public sense of legal order in the belief that official condoning of mob sentiment is merely the encouraging of the criminal spirit, even though race prejudice is at the bottom of it. Young toughs, who are in no sense the guardians of public morals or the champions of virtue in any form, are usually largely represented in and generally responsible for city mobs, and their success is never a true vindication of law or right. It leads rather to further disrespect for law and its official representatives. Law in its true sense, and necessarily, is no respecter of persons, and the representatives of the law, including police officials, are as much obligated by this principle as they are by any part of their oath to uphold the law. The performance of their duties in this respect would save their counties and municipalities much expense and themselves certain disgrace. NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES NEGLECTED opportunitis are responsible for the great majority of failures in life. Life's failures are not restricted to experiences in which an honest effort is made to succeed against overwhelming adversity, but a man's life is not what it should be, and is therefore a dismal failure, when he neglects to fit and prepare himself for life's duties by taking advantage of the simple and easy opportunities which are within his reach during his earlier years. A common school education is the ordinary beginning of this necessary preparation, and in most of our communitis this is within the reach of every child who has parents wor thy of the name. But there are many special ave nues leading out and away from the common school which offer particular advantages. Of the many matters that might be considered under this caption, we discuss one in particular this week because of its special and primary concern to the colored people of Colorado. Practical application to the rules of commercial and industrial development is the great fundamental necessity for success in the world today. The State School of Mines at Golden offers one of the opportunities to which we wish to call attention. It is a golden opportunity in a triple sense, but it is a neglected opportunity. There were fifty-one graduates from this institution this year, and, we believe, not one was colored. They will scatter to all parts of the earth and obtain positions as mining engineers and expert directors of great works. They will continue to work and study hard to win prominence and success in the ranks of the world's workers. Why do not young colored men who are graduates of Colorado high schools take the course at the State School of Mines? Do they imagine that it does not mean anything to them? Do they think that ability is to be forever circumscribed by race prejudice? It may be true that Colorado would not furnish the opportunity for the application of a colored graduate's technical knowledge, but what of that? Some of these white graduates will go to the Philippines, some to South Africa, some to Korea or other distant quarters where their fitness will be eagerly sought. The time has come when men look the world over for commercial and industrial opportunities. A Negro equipped with a technical education does not have to let his knowledge rust. A nearby field, affording vast opportunities, is South America. A greater field in the East is ripening. Proscription in America, instead of being a discouragement to the Negro, ought to stimulate and crystalize his determination to succeed somewhere in the world. From a high business standpoint the industrial arts offer golden opportunities, and in Colorado, where they are easily attainable, they are being sadly neglected. Why Women Are Captivated by Scoundrels By MRS. GEORGE NORMAN. T has been said that no man is so miserable but that he can discover some woman who will be more miserable still for his sake. And on this principle the worst of criminals must find a wife. I But when all is said and done, the chartered scoundrel—the bigamist, the forger—may be scarcely more objectionable, may, in many cases, be far less so, than the smugly-respectable, highly-respected thing of petty vices that so often a woman must call "husband." Though it may be true that there is something that appeals to a woman's deepest instincts of pity and compassion in the downward tending career of the ne'er-do-well, yet the mystery of her apparent weakness for the triumphant villain remains unsolved. It takes more strength of mind, or of character, than many women possess to resist the magnetism of personality in either saint or sinner. And when we see a woman falling an apparently willing victim to the sinner, tying herself for life, for example, to a confirmed gambler, it is not, as a rule, her reasoning powers which have forsaken her, but her power of resisting a fascination which, however, would have been as hard to resist in a Sir Galahad had he possessed it. What, when all is said and done, we all seek in life, knowingly or unknowingly, is an ideal—the infinite in the finite. And we are easily misled. The old Grecian conception of beauty as the "flowering of virtue," the outward sign of an inner comeliness, is still ours. It is difficult, if not impossible, for us to realize that a tender manner conceals a desire to annex our check-book. A bunch of lilies and a sigh may be fraught with such poetry to a woman, for—ce que c'est que de nous!—we think we see just a little clearer than mankind that the transgressor would, if he had had a chance—and that chance of our manipulating—have turned out very differently. And so we close the Sonnets—exquisitely bound, but never paid for, probably—sent us "on a day," and a faint aroma of sadness rises from the logs as we gaze into their depths, and—and—we wonder why men say that women are illogical, and why, above all things, they say that women have a penchant for the unregenerate! The Reason for Colds By G. ELLIOT FLINT, Author of "Power and Health Through Progressive Exercise." As the action neither of the air nor of the water will rust iron, while their combined action will, so are colds caused neither by heat nor cold, but rather by a sudden transition from either to the other. While it will be conceded as a well-known fact that a sudden transition from heat to cold may cause a cold, yet the further contention that transition from cold to heat may equally cause a cold, will, in some quarters, be disputed. Nevertheless the latter statement is logical, if it is a fact that colds come from disturbances of the circulation. The vigor of the cir- culation is proportional, within limits, to the temperature of the air that acts on it. The mechanical arrangements in the body for maintaining animal heat adapt themselves to this surrounding temperature, and when it changes suddenly, whether from heat to cold, or from cold to heat, the circulation is disturbed and may produce a cold. There is reason to believe, however, that colds are otherwise caused than by exposure to cold and wet. Whatever depresses pulmonary circulation, such as a weak heart or excessive brain work with deficient physical activity, predisposes to colds. In conclusion we may say that the best way to avoid colds is to avoid, whenever possible, those conditions that profoundly and suddenly disturb the circulation; that is to say, we should avoid In conclusion we may say that the best way to avoid, whenever possible, those conditions that profour disturb the circulation; that is to say, we should avoid extremes in temperature, and when we cannot do this we can at least modify their effects by proper clothing. Also we should, by systematic and vigorous exercise and care in diet, keep the blood free from impurities and its circulation active. A general robust health and an ability to recover quickly from unavoidable systematic disturbances explains the immunity some persons enjoy from colds. A. H. Woman's Standard of Honesty By ALEXANDER McGREGOR. "Deal with us nobly, women though we be. And honor us with truth, if not with praise." If we are to put aside for the time being our natural sense of gallantry and, pursuant to the petition of Mrs. Browning as quoted above, indulge in truth rather than praise, we must unequivocally declare that woman's standard of honor is neither higher nor lower than man's. It is about the same. It may have been the result of natural laws that the condition of woman was so subordinate and inferior to that of man in former eras; it may have been the result of man's selfish tyranny. Whatever the cause, civilization has accomplished nothing more momentous than the elevation of woman to her present high position, almost a dominating one. Man then is largely responsible for what woman was, what she is. Environment, opportunity and man have made her what she is. Man's code has largely been her code, as in the process of uplifting and enthronement, she has been instinctively assimilative rather than creative. Water does not rise higher than its source, and woman's standard of many things could not be expected to be higher than man's, until time had atoned to her for her suppression and her finer nature and superior instincts had wrought out that natural accomplishment. The time is past when the claptrap of woman's lower standards should be indulged in. Too much is heard of man's superior sense of honor, truth and purity. The last few years have demonstrated that this is largely mythical. Could the record of woman have been any worse than that of the men who held the most responsible fiduciary positions in this country? If the judgment of woman is lacking and her logic weak, her intuition makes up for it and a keener and purer instinct compensates. No one has ever solved the puzzle of the ages; no one can speak ex-cathedra of the great unknown; but so far as one lone man can dogmatize, he would assert that the difference in standards, if any, is small and in favor of woman. It's the man who looks into things carefully, the man who is particular, who always insists upon the Stetson. We have the Stetton Soft and Derby Hats in all the latest styles.

Denver, Cola My son, and only one, was battle slain, And he was all the world, and more, to me: I gave him at my country's sacred fane, When Sherman marched his legions to the sea.

AT A PATRIOT'S GRAVE Grandmother's Memorial Day Speech By DORA OLIPHANT COE. GRANDMOTHER ADAMSON had reached into the depths of her rose-sprigged bandbox, but just as her fingers touched the stiff ruching in the front of her best bonnet her attention was arrested by a ring at the front door. As though suddenly petrified in her stooping position, grandmother waited while Susan Ann, her daughter, creaked through the passage way leading from the kitchen. At the first words of greeting grandmother straightened with a snap like a jack-knife, and an angry color flamed on her cheeks. "Why, Marthy Ellen, what lovely roses! Did you ever see the flowers so handsome as they are this year? Come right in. It's dreadful hot, ain't it? Seems like I never known it to warm up as early as it has this season, but, then, it's been awful fine for the flowers. 'Pears like the roses and laylocks and pinles has just tried theirselves to see who could do the most bloomin'. Now, that's a pretty idea, ain't it, Mrs. Rayburn, that laylock wreath?" "Yes; laylocks was Dick's favorite flower, and he set this bush out hisSEL, and I thought I'd make a wreath to hang on the cross on his tombstun." The expression on Grandmother Adamson's face would have made a good study. From a blaze of anger it passed through all the stages of horrified scorn to a stony determination. The development of the conversation beyond the paper-covered board walls collected her nebulous chaotic emotions into a stern resolve. Susan Ann was stout, and she had grieved all the morning over the long walk to the graveyard. As she sank ponderously into a chair, she lamented: "I get heavier on my feet every day I live, and the heat to-day is just awful on me. If mother hadn't had her heart so set on it, I wouldn't try to go to the cemetery. I just know I'll be sick." "Couldn't she walk up with us?" Mrs. Rayburn asked. "We'll not walk fast." "Oh, mother's as spry on her feet as you be. I hadn't thought of her goin' with any one else, but I don't see why she couldn't. It'd be a real help. She ain't got nothin' to carry, for she took a big basket of flowers up this morning, before breakfast. She's just that wrapped up in Decoration day I couldn't disappoint her about goin'. She's gettin' ready now. I'll go and see if it'll be all right." But grandmother, with what was almost one movement, had stooped forward and slipped off her congress gaiters, at the same time taking from its box her bonnet. She slipped a hand through the round handle of a little basket and scurried down the passageway and out through the back door. On the step she delayed just long enough to put on her shoes; then, with her best bonnet carried more carelessly than ever before in its dozen years of use, she hurried out through the back gate. The cemetery was being made bright with flowers when grandmother passed through the iron gateway, and her face hardened as she recognized some of the stooping figures and the graves over which they bent. At a brilliantly-decked mound she stopped and kneeling, said: "I hate to do it, Jeremiah, but I know you'd want me to. I won't take them to any one else, though, Jeremiah, though I know you'd say fur me to, if you was here. But dearie, I've keered fur these things ever sence they was buds, jest as tender as if they'd a b'en babies, and jest so's you could have them to-day, and I jest can't see any one else have 'em. How would you like to look over these posies and see that laylock wreath a-hangin' on old Dick Rayburn's tombstun? You fought, bled and died almost fur nothin', Jeremiah, when that old copperhead gits jest as many flowers as you do." Grandmother had turned up the skirt of her black alpaca dress and, into the receptacle thus formed, had put every flower that had lain on Jeremiah's grave. She carried them all over to a far corner of the cemetery and buried them under a pile of last year's leaves. Then she went back to the bare mound. Soon the faraway notes of "Cover Them Over with Beautiful Flowers," told that the procession was coming. ```markdown ``` And now, throughout the fair and blessed land, On love-ordained and sweet Memorial day. We go, a flower-laden, faithful band, To spread on hero graves the bloom of May. But for my soldier-boy that soilace is not mine: Within a southern vale, afar, he sleeps. For him, and there rosemary droops and weeps. Grandmother heard, but she did not once lift her eyes. She sat directly upon the middle of the grave, her skirts spread as far as they would over the flowerless mound, and she was knitting as calmly as if she were seated on a little splint-bottomed chair in her own room. She paid no attention to the astonished group that stopped before her. "Ahem!" coughed the master of ceremonies, Henry Blake. Grandmother looked up. "Howdedo, Henry." Then, looking down again, "one, two, three, widen; one, two, three, turn." "We've come to decorate Comrade Adamson's grave," hesitated the puzzled Blake. "Comrade Adamson's grave don't need no decoratin"—five, six, narrow; one, two—" "You hain't forgot it's Decoration day, have you?" questioned the man. "If I have, I've been the only one that has." A flourish of her needle indicated the flower-decked mounds. "But Comrade Adamson was a hero, and he—" "Because he was a hero is why I don't want him decorated. That's the only way to distinguish him from them as ain't heroes." With a little sweep of her skirts, grandmother rose to her feet. "It's jest because Jeremiah was a hero that his grave ain't goin' to be strewed with flowers jest like the ones A where the babies and copperheads lies. The babies might a-grown up to be heroes, if they'd had a chanst, but they didn't, and they're three hundred and sixty-four and a quarter other days in the year to decorate their graves in. It's almost a insult to— "Well, this day don't mean nothin' no more. It used to be set apart that we might honor the nation's dead, but the day, like me and some of the others here, has outlived our usefulness and our time. Let it be Decoration day, if you want to, but don't call it Memorial day any more. It's just a holiday for the young folks to have ball games and picnics, and the older folks to put flowers on the graves of their dead. "Jest look through them trees. Can you tell which is the graves of soldiers who fought, bled, and died for this beautiful country? If this day was what it was named fur, there wouldn't be a flower in this hull graveyard exceptin' on a soldier's grave. I reckon it's little enough we do, even when we set aside a whole day out of a year to them as give their hull lives, and mighty promisin' lives some of 'em was, too. "Take your flowers. Put 'em on any grave you happen to see. It don't matter. This is jest Decoration day. There ain't no Memorial day no more."—Los Angeles Times. Memorial Day. No pages of a nation's history are more interesting to its people than those which record the brave deeds of its soldiery and no nation on the face of the earth has established so beautiful a custom as that which is contemplated by Memorial day, the strewing of spring flowers over the graves of her departed soldiers. May the full meaning of the day come to us with all its solemnity and all its beauty, and with the patriotic lesson it presents. Sides with England.

The Singer building in New York is the highest in the world, but there is not enough wood in it to make a lead pencil. It can never catch fire from within. The architect refused to make a skyscraper of their first building, but now that the city is disfigured for good he is willing to put up commercial towers if allowed to make them fireproof. Fabric Practically Everlasting. The Russians manufacture a fabric from the fiber of a filamentous stone from the Siberian mines which is said to be of so durable a nature that it is practically everlasting. The material is soft to the touch and pliable in the extreme, and has only to be thrown into a fire when dirty to be made absolutely clean. All The SPRING AND SUMMER SHOES ARE HERE. It is estimated that in the British Isles 6,000,000 tons of potatoes are produced annually on about 600,000 acres, giving an average of ten tons to the acre, but a very large quantity of potatoes comes from abroad, so that the annual consumption is much larger than these figures would indicate. Spindle-Shanked Men of To-day. "You see," said Mr. Simpson, editor of the American Gentleman, "trousers are trousers and there are no new ideas possible in them. We've had the oaggy trousers and the peg-top. The normal has now been attained and we're going to stick to it. Knee breeches? Oh, my, no! You'll never see them in America—not even for evening dress. The trouble is that the modern city man is too spindle shanked and knock-kneed to wear them with distinction. And it's not only the city man's legs that are deteriorating in grace and strength. It's a well known fact among tailors that the man of to-day is physically inferior to his grandfather. It's the extension of transit facilities and elevator service that is ruining him. Nowadays if a man has any flesh it's under his waistband." On a recent visit of one of the United States fleet to Hong Kong, one of the coolies, engaged in passing coal, was accidentally caught in the machinery, and had his leg so badly crushed that it was decided necessary to amputate it. This was explained to the fellow, and after much persuasion he was induced to submit to the sleeping medicine and have the leg taken off. He recovered in remarkably quick time and when able to leave the ship where he had been confined was given a handful of money the officers had collected for him, amounting to about $50 gold. In less than a day's time the ship was besieged by an army of Chinese, all clamoring to have a leg taken off. Lead Us Net Into Temptation.

"How many seed compartments are there in an apple?" he asked. No one answered. "And yet," continued the school inspector, "all of you eat many an apple in the course of a year and see the fruit every day, probably. You must learn to notice the little things in nature." The talk of the inspector impressed the children, and at recess the teacher overheard them discussing it. A little girl, getting her companions around her, gravely said: "Now, children. just suppose I am Mr. Taylor. You've got to know more about common things. If you don't you'll all grow up to be fools. Now, tell me, Minnie," she continued, looking sternly at a playmate, "how many feathers are there on a hen?" Not Time's Slave. A traveler, finding that he had a couple of hours in Dublin, called a cab and told the driver to drive him around for two hours. At first all went well, but soon the driver began to whip up his horse so that they narrowly escaped several collisions. "What's the matter?" demanded the passenger. "Why are you driving so recklessly? I'm in no hurry." "Ah, g'wan wid yez," retorted the cabby. "D'ye think I'm goin' to put in the whole day drivin' you around for two hours? Gilt!" Baved From Being a Cripple for Life. "Almost six or seven weeks ago I became paralyzed all at once with rheumatism," writes Mrs. Louis McKey, 913 Seventh street, Oakland, Cal. "It struck me in the back and extended from the hip of my right leg down to my foot. The attack was so severe that I could not move in bed and was afraid that I should be a cripple for life. "About 12 years ago I received a sample bottle of your Liniment but never had occasion to use it, as I have always been well, but something told me that Sloan's Liniment would help me, so I tried it. After the second application I could get up out of bed, and in three days could walk, and now feel well and entirely free from pain. "My friends were very much surprised at my rapid recovery and I was only too glad to tell them that Sloan's Liniment was the only medicine I used."

Truth and Quality appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drugists. HOW TO TREAT HUSBANDS. New Jersey Pastor Lays Down Eph grammatic Rules for Wives. Jersey City, N. J.—Rev. Dr. J. L. Scudder, of the First Congregational church, has preached a sermon on "How to Treat Your Husband." These are some of the rules and comments made on married life by the preacher: "No wife can be as free and frivolous as she was before her nuptial days. Her station demands a certain matronly dignity. "Don't be one of those autocratic creatures that say 'Marriage makes two one and I'm the one.' "The man who is married to one of those female tyrants with firm chin and haughty demeanor has no need of purgatorial fire in the life to come. "A qualification of a model wife is to keep her temper and control her tongue. "A cross, cantankerous jade loves to give her husband a piece of her mind, and usually, like a mosaic, her mind is composed of many pieces. "Scolding wives live long and die hard. They possess vitality, volubility and sometimes vituperation. "If a husband persists in going round in his shirt sleeves and leaves his clothes about the room when he should put them in the closet, never mind such trifles. They are only spots on the sun." FARM FOR HUMMINGBIRDS. New York Woman Will Raise Tiny Birds for Pets. New York.—Convinced that hummingbirds will make good household pets, Miss Gwendolin Brooks of Central Park West, is going to raise them in Central Islip, L. I. Miss Brooks has bought a farm there and has obtained plans for aviaries from W. Albert Swassey. She proposes to sell the tiny birds, and said she already has a lot of commissions for them. In spite of their small size they are not difficult to keep in good health, she declared, and they are most interesting to study. She has experimented in raising them in the south and west. At Central Islip Miss Brooks will make a specialty of the species known as the "ruby-breasted" birds. Their real home is in South America, but they migrate to this climate in the hot weather, nest here and return to the tropics in August before cold weather can nip their frail bodies. Just how they manage to survive the hardships of their long journey here and back to the tropics has long puzzled naturalists. Miss Brooks says that if the birds have considerable space to fly about in and are well fed with honey and insects they are not hard to raise. NEWSPAPER TO TELL TRUTH. Publication Will Deal with Society Regardless of Libel Laws. London.—According to the Financial News, arrangements are being made to publish an English daily newspaper, the chief feature of which will be an absolute defiance of the libel laws. It will publish comment of any kind upon any person, will deal with society scandals and financial gossip with unrestrained frankness, not concealing the names or the most intimate details. Cases before law courts on which comment is not allowed will be discussed regardless of the law, in a manner "calculated to take the curls out of counsels' wigs." Judges will be criticised as freely as witnesses. If the latter are regarded as committing perjury they will be pilloried. Therefore the paper's conductors propose to avoid prosecution or suppression of their sheet by printing it in Belgium or France and mailing copies to English subscribers. There will be no offices in England. If the postoffice refuses to circulate the paper in wrappers copies will be enclosed in envelopes. ASKS "PUG" TO BLACK EYE. Sailor Requests Jeffries to "Swipe" Him as a Souvenir. Los Angeles, Cal.—John Lyle, a seaman of the destroyer Whipple, made a unique request to "Jim" Jeffries the other day. Lyle wandered into Jeff's place and said: "Mr. Jeffries, I'm just off the Whipple and I've never been west before I come from Philadelphia and back in that town we have one fighter, Jack O'Brien, but he doesn't class with you. "Ive always wanted to see you and I had instructions from Philadelphia friends that if I ran across you in this country I should bring back a souvenir of you. So, if you will oblige me and lots of friends back east, kindly swipe me just once in the eye, so it will be good and black. Then I can tell the folks that Jeff did it." Leads Deer by the Ear. Harrisburg, Pa.—Harry Stahler, keeping the country store at Rockville, just west of this city, captured a live deer with his hands the other morning. It was a full-grown doe, and had been chased into the river from the Cumberland shore, swimming a mile across to Rockville, where it was again beset by dogs. Stahler heard the commotion and went to the deer's assistance. He drove away the dogs, and catching the deer by the ear, led it to his stable. State Game Commissioner Kalofuss will send the deer to the state game reservation at Pine Grove. WALK 2450 MILES Over mountains and through snow, through wet, slush and mud, freezing at times, and oppressed by heat at others, William Jackson and R. T. Hay, two sturdy Scotchmen, walked every mile of the way from Seattle to Chicago, just arriving within a few hours of the time limit, thereby winning a purse of Fifteen Hundred Dollars given by the Seattle Athletic Club, for accomplishing this feat within the prescribed time. Jackson and Hay left Seattle with but Five Dollars in money, were obliged to earn their way as they went and leave no unpaid bills, and complete the journey in ninety days. An interesting incident in connection with the walk, was that each of the contestants wore a pair of the well-known Mayer shoes, that neither ripped nor lost a stitch during the entire trip of 2450 miles—the hardest test any shoes could be put to—speaking volumes for the extraordinary wearing qualities of the shoes manufactured by the F. Mayer Boot & Shoe Co., Milwaukee. LANDLORD KNEW HIS CAPACITY. Would Need to Lay In Supplies for Student Guest. "Lawyer Hummel entertained us with his brilliant conversation on the Lusitania," said a tourist. "Hummel had one night in the smoking room an argument with a terribly scarred German about education. "There's nothing like our German students. You can't get away from that,' the German boasted, and his face, all slashed from corps duels, beamed with pride. "No, you're right,' said Hummel. I once visited a German student in Heidelberg. As we conversed on dueling in the students' sitting room a waiter knocked, entered and said politely: "The landlord of the Keg presents his compliments and wishes to know if you are thinking of stepping across this evening, sir?" "What does he want to know that for?" the student inquired. "Because, sir, if you don't," said the waiter, "it will scarcely be worth while to tap a fresh barrel to-day."' GALLANTRY.

TALKS OF FOOD Pres. of Board of Health. "What shall I eat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth."

These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

"Young man, you write a good deal of poetry to my daughter." "Yes, sir." "It takes a practical man to support a wife." "Well, it's this way. I have to write her an occasional letter, and I'm so busy at the office that I just copy the poetry to fill in." The explanation was satisfactory. —Exchange. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Successful Demonstration. Romulus was founding Rome. "What I'm trying to do," he explained, "is to show that it is possible to start a big town without building it around an oil well or a copper mine." At this inopportune moment Remus broke in with a remark that the new city was a Butte, all right; and he got it in the neck, as you find fully set forth in your Latin reader.

TOO FEW THINK OF HARMONY. Combinations in Shades One of the Main Things in Dress. Many persons have excellent taste for colors, but not combinations of shades. The following are excellent rules for fancy work, interior or exterior house decorations and valuable in suggestions for dress purposes. MISUSE THEIR CHIEF BEAUTY. Women All Too Prone to Abuse the Crown of Glory. You know, and every woman knows that women treat their hair to unpardonable abuse. Women treat their hair to deeper insults than any of their other possessions. One night when a woman feels amiable and Cold green contrasts with crimson, purple, white, pink, gold, orange; harmonizes with olive, citron, brown, black and gray. Warm green contrasts with crimson, maroon, red, plink, white, black and lavender; harmonizes with yellow, orange, sky blue, gray, white, brown and buff. Orange contrasts with purple, blues, black, olive, crimson and gray; harmonizes with yellow, red, warm green, brown, white and buff. Russet contrasts with green, black, olive and gray; harmonizes with red, yellow, orange and brown. Olive contrasts with orange, red, white and maroon; harmonizes with green, blue, black and brown. Green contrasts with colors containing red, white and maroon and harmonizes with colors containing yellow or blue. Orange requires blue, black, purple or dark colors for contrast and warm colors for harmony. Gold contrasts with any dark color, but looks richer with dark tones and least with yellow. Gold's best harmony is white. Dark, bright colors are usually warm. Mourning Veils. Now that the larger hats are admissible in mourning, the question of an appropriate veil is sometimes vexing. Speaking generally, supposing the hat to be on the droopy brim order, or even-slightly bent, as over the face and down in the back—for a shape that raises itself at the side is not correct—then the veil may be of crepe or grenadine, falling over the hat down the back, when the hat becomes French mourning. If, however, the brim is perfectly straight and flat (though broad), as the sailor shape, then a face veil of plain net, with or without a border, is worn. Buying Tan Shoes. An authority claims that tan shoes should be purchased late in the day, because earlier in the day a much smaller shoe can be comfortably worn, yet will prove a torment later in the day. Tan leather does not "give" like other leather and often shrinks slightly when dampened. For this reason a tan shoe holds its shape much better than a black one, though it must be comfortably fitted when purchased. This should be remembered by mothers buying tan shoes for children, for a pinched shoe is too annoying for anything and doubly so for children. The Children's Table. A friend of mine has a set of small square doilies, which she keeves for the children to use when they have a party or a distinguished guest. They are also used on birthdays, and if a child is ill one of these doilies is sure to grace his tray. They are embroidered with quotations from "Alice in Wonderland," all different, and all concerning things to eat. The children are so fond of these doilies that I think some other mother might like to make her children a set.—Housekeeper. --- Women All Too Prone to Abuse the Crown of Glory. You know, and every woman knows, that women treat their hair to unpardonable abuse. Women treat their hair to deeper insults than any of their other possessions. One night when a woman feels amiable and bright she will brush and pat her hair and put a good, refreshing tonic on it, and then braid it down her back. But O! the next night, when she comes home after a bridge party, she will yank the hundred odd hairpins loose and shake her hair away from her head and neck, and hop into bed unmindful of the consequences. The hair needs regular and constant care, and under these conditions only will it flourish. Find some course of treatment which suits your hair and stick to this particular treatment, no matter what happens. To remove the tangles from the hair use a coarse-toothed comb, being sure that the teeth are all smooth and even. Never use a fine-tooth comb on the hair. It splits the shaft of the hair, injures the roots, and brings forth a crop of dandruff. It is not necessary, nor is it a good thing, to brush the hair too much; a dozen or two strokes each night to remove the dandruff, if there is any, and the day's dust and dirt, will suffice. WRAP OF CREAM SERGE. - With Cream Silk Kilting Round the Collar. Crochet Belts. Now that the princess modes are so much in vogue the belt counter is not so well patronized as heretofore, and this causes the manufacturers to be more than ever on the alert to produce new lines that will be more than usually tempting. This little accessory will be ever in demand for shirtwaists, and among the novelties of this kind is a soft, flexible belt that looks like crochet. It closes with a mother-of-pearl buckle and is very dalny. Price, 25 cents only. S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. - OPP.

The best Equipped Pleasuae Resort in the West. Ping Pong Pool and Billiards. Phone Main 3044 Lunch Served. H. PINN, Prop. 1821 Arapahoe Street. Denver, . Colorado Denver, Colo TABLE DELICACIES NEW AND APPETIZING WAYS OF SERVING EGGS. Cooked in Spanish Style They Are Delicious—Made Up with Cream or in Cases—Sublimated Souffle Is Good. Spanish Eggs.—Have ready a half pint of sauce made by frying a minced green sweet pepper and a medium-sized onion in a little butter. When turning yellow add half a pint of thick canned tomatoes, reserving the thin liquid for a soup. Stew and season. Break six eggs into a porcelain lined pan containing a bit of hot butter and set in the oven for three minutes; slip off on a flat dish and pour the sauce over and around. Egg with Cream.—Set over the fire a brown porcelain lined pan, capable of holding just the requisite number of eggs, so that they will be close together, the whites forming when cooked a layer nearly an inch in thickness. In this pan pour a gill of thin cream; have ready six eggs, broken one by one in a saucer and slipped into a larger dish, and as soon as the cream reaches the boiling point turn in the eggs. Season with pepper and salt. Simmer two minutes and set in the oven until the yolks show a tendency to thicken, but do not allow them to harden. Eggs in Cases.—Mince four mushrooms and stew in cream; about a gill of the latter. Add six hard boiled eggs minced small and stir until hot, seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve in little china cases. Eggs with Celery.—Lay a pint of celery, stewed tender and heated in a white sauce, in the bottom of an earthen baking dish. Break six eggs on top and set in the oven till the eggs are done. Sublimated Souffle.—This is made by soaking two cupfuls of stale bread crumbs in two cupfuls of hot milk. To this is added salt, pepper, paprika, and three beaten eggs, with three tablespoonfuls of dry, rich cheese, grated. Beat until light. Set two omelet pans over the fire, placing in each butter the size of a walnut; when hot, divide the butter into halves; pour half the butter into each pan and proceed as in cooking an omelet, except that the fire must be slower and the process a longer one. It will rise to a thickness of two inches if the pans be not more than eight inches in diameter. Loosen the mixture here and there with a broad-bladed knife, and, after about five minutes, set in a hot oven for ten minutes to brown. Stuffed Fillets of Fish Three pounds haddock, one-third can salmon, one-half cup bread crumbs, two teaspoons lemon juice, one-half level teaspoon salt, one-fourth level teaspoon paprika, one-half cup white sauce. Remove the skin from the fish, cut down the middle of each side and across the center, making four fillets on a side. Remove these with a sharp knife, keeping close to the bone. Make a forcemeat of the remaining ingredients. Remove the oil, skin and bones from the salmon and mince it fine. Add the bread crumbs, lemon juice, salt and paprika, and when well mixed moisten with the white sauce. Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper and spread them with the forcemeat. Roll each fillet up and pin securely with wooden toothpicks. Beat an egg slightly with a tablespoon of cold water, dip the fillets in the egg, then in fine cracker crumbs, and fry in deep fat. Baked Salt Cod Soak salt codfish several hours in plenty of cold water, put into cold water, and simmer gently about 15 minutes. Pick into fine shreds and add the same amount of mashed potatoes. To one quart of the mixture add two rounding tablespoons of butter, one beaten egg, and hot milk to moisten. Put into a buttered baking dish, brush over with soft butter, dredge lightly with flour, and bake until brown on top. Serve with a sauce made from two level tablespoons of flour, four of butter, one cup of milk, and salt and pepper to season. Add a hard boiled egg chopped coarsely and heat well, then serve. A Substitute for Spinach: The tender leaves of young beet tops or turnips may be used instead of spinach and make a pleasant change for the lover of greens. Thoroughly wash leaves to remove grit and boil until tender. Drain, press out the water and dress with butter, salt and pepper, stirring in a saucepan until thoroughly heated. The flavor is much improved if a little vinegar and oil are added on the table. This is better than serving it with the greens as many persons prefer the butter dressing. Porch Chair. Mend your porch chairs with picture wire. It is easy to work with and strong. Lace across the seat and back to make a straight suffrace. Paint with enamel or carriage paint. Make covers to suit. I use burlap or dinim and fill with excelsior. If they get wet they soon dry out and no harm is done. Destroy Moths. If you suspect that there are moths in your carpets, try and locate their hiding place. Wring a coarse cloth out of clean water and spread it smooth on the spot in the carpet where you think the moths are. Iron the wet cloth with a hot iron. The steam will kill the moths and eggs.
