W The discussion of the Negro in politics will of necessity deal chiefly with conditions in the South: for it is there, and there only, that the Negro is, at the present time, a great political problem. Negroes in the North are indeed beginning to play a conscious part in politics; but they are only one element among many. They take their place with the "Irish vote," the "German vote," the "Polish vote," the "labor vote," each of which must be courted or placated by the politicians. I have looked into Negro political conditions in several cities, notably Indianapolis and Philadelphia, and I cannot see that they are in any marked way different from the condition of any other class of our population which through ignorance, or fear, or ambition, votes more or less en masse. Many Negroes do not vote at all; some are as conscientious and incorruptible as anywhite citizens; but a large proportion, ignorant and short-sighted, are disfranchised by the use of money in one form or another at every election. One of the broadest observers in Indianapolis said to me "The Negro voters are no worse and no better than our foreign voting population." Mayor Tom Johnson, himself Southern by birth, writes me regarding the Negro vote of Cleveland: "I do not believe their is any larger percentage of unintelligent or dishonest votes among the colored voters than among the white voters in the same walks of life." I wish here to emphasize again the fact that the Negro is not a sectional but a national problem. Anything that affects the South favorably or unfavorably reacts upon the whole country. And the same latent race feeling exists in the North that exists in the South (for it is human, not Southern). The North, indeed, as I have shown in previous articles, confronted with a large influx of Negroes, is coming more and more to understand and sympathize with the heart-breaking problems which beset the South. Nothing short of the patient co-operation of the entire country, North and South, white and black, will ever solve the race question. In this country, as elsewhere political thought divides itself into two apposing forces, two great parties or points of view. --- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ed by Patron COLORA NEGRO in June Number of Amer- What Slavery Did. Whatever their momentary names have been, whether Federalist, Democratic, Whig, Republican, Populist or Socialist, one of these parties has been an Aristocratic or Conservative party, the other a Democratic or progressive party, the other a Democratic or Progressive party. The political struggle in this country (and the world over) has been between the aristocratic idea that a few men (or one man) should control the country and supervise the division of labor and the products of labor and the democratic idea that more people should have a hand in it. It has taken various forms and assumed many faces. Religious, Social, Industrial, but it is all a part of the fundamental social conflict between the Few and the Many. The abolition of slavery in the South was an incident in this struggle. Slavery was not abolished because the North agitated, or because John Brown raided or Mrs. Stowe wrote a book, or for any other sentimental or superficial reason, but because it was undemocratic. This is what slavery did: It enables a comparatively few men (only about one in ten of the white men of the South was a slave-owner or slave renter) to control eleven states of the Union, to monopolize learning, to hold all the political offices, to own most of the good land and nearly all the wealth. Not only did it keep the Negro in slavery, but nine-tenths of the white people (the so-called "poor whites" whom even the Negroes despised) were hardly more than peasants or serfs. It was in many ways a charming aristocracy, but was doomed from the beginning. If there had been no North, slavery in the South would have disappeared just as inevitably. It was the restless yeast of democracy spreading abroad upon the earth (in Europe as well as America) that killed slavery and liberated both Negro and poor white man. Revolutions such as the Civil War change names: they do not at once change human relationships. Mankind is reconstructed not by proclamation or legislation or military occupation, but by time, growth, education, religion and thought. When the South got on its feet again after Reconstruction and took account of itself, what did it find? If found 4,000,000 ignorant Negroes changed in name from DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1908. "slave" to "freeman," but not changed in nature. It found the poor whites still poor whites; and the aristocrats, although they had lost both property and position, were still aristocrats. For values, after all, are not outward, but inward: not material, but spiritual. It was as impossible for the Negro at that time to be less than a slave as it was for the aristocrat to be less than an aristocrat. And this is what so many legal-minded men will not or cannot see. Exactly what might have been predicted. Southern society had been turned wrong side up by force, and it righted itself again by force. The Ku Klux Klan, the Patrollers, the Bloody Shirt movement, were the agencies (violent and cruel indeed, but inevitable) which readjusted the relationships put the aristocrat on top, the poor whites in the middle, and the Negroes at the bottom. In short, Society instinctively reverted to its old human relationships. I once saw a man shot through the body in a street riot. Mortally wounded, he stumbled and rolled over in the dust, but sprung up again as though uninjured and ran a hundred yards before he finally fell dead. Thus the Old South, though mortally wounded, spang up and ran again. Continued next week. AMERICANS TO LIBERIA. On the Hamburg-American Line steamship Kriserin Augusta Victoria, from Europe, which came in May 23rd, were five members of the Liberia Commission, that come here to urge the American Negro to emigrate to the African west coast. The party consisted of Thomas Faulkner, Dr. Garret W. Gibson, former President of Liberia; Charles Dunbar, James Dosen, vice-president of the republic, and Charles Branch, secretary of the commission. Dr. Gibson is the only American of the party, he having been born in the South and emigrated to Liberia some years ago. According to this interesting group of colored men Liberia holds out a wonderful opportunity to the Negroes of America if a direct line of vessels can be organized to bring Liberian products directly to this country. "There are 42,000 square miles of territory in Liberia," said Dr. Gibson, "and there are 5,000 votes of a coast population of about 40,000. The interior contain 1,250, 000 savages which are being gradually civilized. While the soil is not particularly fertile the climatic advantages of Liberia are such that good crops would ensue if the right men were there to till the ground. Railways and a steamship line would help Liberia im- mensely. We are here to interest capitalists and we are also here to enlist capitalists and we are also here to interest capitalists and we are also here to enlist the interest of President Roosevelt in Liberia's future. There is gold in the interior, according to Sir Henry Johnson, the British explorer, and we want the American Negro to come to Liberia and make a strong nation. Liberia is the smallest of the republics. It has been an independent country since 1847, and has been recognized by America since 1865. The only thing we lack is intelligent men and the proper facilities to market our goods." The Liberian delegation was met down by the bay by L. C. Chamberlain, president of the United States Evangelical Alliance. Dr. Chamberlain is a white man. He will introduce the visitors to the President.—N. Y. Age. NEGRO STIRS CONFERENCE "I beg you to forget the color of my skin and the past history of my race. Remember only the cry of the Master and give me the money and equipment to carry on His work in the field to which you have sent me." These words from Rev. Dr. I. B. Scott, missionary bishop to Africa who is considered one of the ablest colored men in the Church, aroused more enthusiasm than anything else at the session of the General Conference of the Methodist church at the Lyric yesterday. The whole gathering spontaneously responded to the appeal of Dr. Scott, and when he concluded a few of the delegates audibly voiced their views by saying to each other: "He ought to be made a bishop." Dr. Scott made a better impression than any colored man who has yet addressed the Conference. Modestly, but graphically, he told of his work in the Republic of Liberia for the last four years. He spoke of the "raw heathen" with whom he came into contact and of their tremendous desire for preachers and teachers and his utter inability to supply this demand. He told how he traveled hundreds of miles in canoes and on foot to reach these "raw heathen" and of a visit paid him by the old king of an inland tribe that had never seen a missionary to beg of him to send them one. All he could do was to promise to do so at the first opportunity. The progress of Christianity in Liberia was sketched interestengly by Dr. Scott, who declared there had been 2,191 conversions in the last quadrennium, the total number of Methodist Episcopalians in the republic now being more than 4,000, which figures were applauded by the Conference. "No one in Liberia," he said, "is received in our Church who does not pledge himself to abstain from intoxicating liquor and who, if he has been a polygamist, does not pledge himself to give up all except one wife. It is a pathetic thing to stand in the midst of a crowd of ignorant and degraded human beings and hear them beg for preachers and teachers as they would beg for bread, and not be able to give them to them." Dr. Scott's appeal for more money and more workers was a stirring one, and he likened himself to a young native who could and who was thrown out of a boat into the Nile with his hands tied behind him. "Untie my hanbs," he urged, "and let me do the work I can do."—Baltimore Sun. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Among the enterprising business women of Colorado is Mrs. Minnie Geesman, who owns a fine ranch three miles West of Cripple Creek. She also runs a milk diary and has about thirty head of fine cattle also a good bunch of hogs, etc. In managing her own business, Mrs. Geesman has proved herself to be an astute business woman. Besides a modern residence and out buildings the ranch is well equipped with the latest farming impliments. A post graduate student at Yale has just completed an exhaustive investigation into lynchings in the United States for the last twenty-four years. He finds that the total for the period is 3,233, of whom 1,872 were Negroes and, 1,256 were whites. There were sixty-one women lynched in that period, twenty-three of them white woman, of whom nine were lynched for murder. In the South, 1,001 Negroes and 593 whites were lynched. Statistics cannot be made to show more than thirty-five per cent. of Negroes lynched for crimes against women. Philadelphia, May 27.—Bertha Reed, a Negro child, will have a partly white face when she leaves the West Jersey hospital, Camden. She was badly burned at her home in Palmyra while playing near a bonfire, and the physicians at the hospital for a time feared her life could not be saved. They then called for patches of skin to graft on the child. Several of the nurses volunteered and large patches of white skin now cover the child's face. The physicians are interested in the case, especially in noting whether or not the white skin will ultimately become dark, as that of the child before NO. 37. she received the burns. The grafting is a success. Washington, D. C. May 27. Justice Anderson in Circuit Court No.1 recently handed down a decision declaring that a theatre proprietor has the right to refuse anybody admission to his playhouse, even if the ticket has been purchased. The court further held that a theatre proprietor can revoke the ticket even after the purchaser has taken his seat, and that the patron can be ejected, provided no more force is used than is absolutely necessary. The decision was rendered in the case brought by a white machinist. The color line was not brought into the proceedings, but as Chase's Theatre was the theatre in dispute—a house which refuses to admit colored people to any part of it—the decision favors the Chase anti-Negro policy. It is not likely that the theatres that have been more liberal with their colored patrons will take advantage of the court's decision. RACE PATRONAGE The Jew is for the Jew, the German for the German, and so on. Every race contending, fighting, dying for his fellows. No race makes so much fuss over heaven as the Negro, and no race catches quite as much sheal. The Negro loves Christ a mysterious future, deals in large churches of that kind of stock and hates his brother. He'll work, make money, make a fuss, spend it with the white man whom he knows hates his race worse than the devil hates holy water, and sometimes makes light remarks about Negroes in business. If there ever were men sacred to the cause of our poor, foolish acting race, they are the ones who have gone into business risking their money on the respect and confidence they have in one another. The Negro who works and makes money, if he will persistently spend it recklessly, he ought to pick out some colored business man's place and spend it, then the race is not loosing it in so great a degree. The Jew and German set a good example for the race to emulate in the respect of patronizing their fellows. It is not all ignorance that makes the Negro do many foolish things, or things which seems that only a fool would do, nor are they all fools or foolish who do such unreal things so injurious to our people. Often such mistakes are made in high places. There will always be things that seem right to some of our people that appear dreadfully wrong to others, who see things from a different viewpoint.—Ohio Conservator. DA. J.

WOOD OR COAL FIRES VARIOUS DEVICES FOR BURNING OIL AND COAL IN PoTs, (By 0. B. Whipple of the Colorado Ex- periment Station.). ing fruit crop should arouse the fruit growers of Colorado to concerted ac- tion in the protection of our fruit against untimely frosts. The past two seasons have not shaken our faith in the possibilities of Colorado as a fruit section, but on the contrary have proved that it is one of the most fa- vored. Each year we have saved a partial crop; while many other sec: tions have lost all. Again, they have proved that our fruit districts are not exempt from injury from late frosts and, at least suggest that high land values cannot be maintained unless such loss may be averted. Luckily for the fruit growers at large, a few of our enterprising growers have to a certain extent demonstrated the poss!- bilities of frost protection. Various methods of frost fighting have been resorted to, not only in Colorado, but much more extensively in other fruit sections. Of the dit- ferent methods probably none has beon more universally tried than smudging. The philosophy of this form of frost protection is to prevent the radiation of heat from the earth's surface by maintaining a cloud of smoke over the area to be protected. ‘The theory is all right, for we know frosts do not occur on cloudy nights; but the past season, I think, has fully demonstrated that such protection will not always meet the requirements. Within certain limits, smudging is sufficient, but when normally more than five or six degrees of frost are ex- pected, it is inadequate. However, with no other means of protection at hand, the grower should prepare for smudging, as It is only in extreme cases that it proves a failure, Two essentials to successful smudging are, an abundance of smudge material and concerted action, Since smudg- ing is a preventative rather than a cure, smudges should be started be- fore the danger point is reached. It is hard to raise the temperature a great deal hy smudging. Not only must the fires be started early, but the cloud of smoke should be maintained wntil well after sunup. One of the greatest obstacles to smudging is the difficulty of obtaining a suitable smudge material, and too often the exhaustion of the supply at a critical time Is the undoing of all previous successes. Any material which will permit of the blaze being easily con- trolled and will give off a dense smoke may be used for this purpose. Stable manure fs one of the most common materials used. ‘The past spring has demonstrated that the only way to save a crop where the temperature drops below twenty-five degrees fahrenheit, is by generating more heat rather than the conservation of that already absorbed by the earth during the day. For this purpose, several forms of open fires have been used, Some growers have sayed their crops by building wood or coal fires among the trees, while others haye resorted to the use of pat- ent devices for burnixg oil or coal. Some of the prettiest demonstra- tions in successful frost fighting un- der most trying conditions were made this spring, using an ofl pot manufac- tured by The Frost Prevention Com- pany, Fresno, California, This is a very simple sheet iron pot, large enough to hold a gallon of oil. It is supplied with a lid which may be used to regulate or to smother the blaze, When filled with Florence crude pe- troleum, it -will burn three hours with a maximum blaze, or longer if the blaze is controlled with the cover. With such pots burning the light crude olls of Colorado it will be necessary to equip the orchard with one hundred pots per acre to insure protection against a minimum temperature of twenty-two degrees fahrenheit, It is very seldom that all these will be used, Dut the number is necessary as some must be held in reserve to be used while others are being refilled, It would seem that a pot with a capacity to burn longer would come nearer meeting our conditions, as it requires a large amount of ready help to refill the pots during the night. The ques- tion of fuel is one that must be looked into, and if possible a heavier oil should be secured and a special freight rate obtained which will place ft in the hands of the growers at a minimum cost. Another patent device, not so ex- tensively tried, but promising good results, 1s a coal pot invented by Mr. Bryan of Paonia, Colorado. ‘This is really a sheet steel stove with an un- der draft, designed to burn nut or bro- ken lump coal, a ton of coal being sufficient to charge one thousand pots for a night's burning. They are sup- plied with a cover and may be charged with kindling and coal at any time and placed in the orchard for future use. When the occasion arises for start. ing them, they are readily set by pour- ing on a little kerosene. Other devices for burning coal have been suggested, and it 1s surprising how simple a contrivance may be. With open fires ft must be emphasized that large fires should be avoided as they tend to create upward drafts and carry the heat upward.

Not long ago there entered the office of the superintendent of a trolley line in Detroit an angry citizen, demand- ing “justice” in no uncertain terms. In response to the official’s gentle inquiry touching the cause of the de- mand, the angry citizen explained that on the day previous as his wife was boarding one of the company’s cars, the conductor thereof had stepped on his spouse's dress, tearing from {t more than a yard of material. “I can't see that we are to blame for that,” protested the superintendent. “What do you expect us to do, get her a new dress?” “No, sir, I do not,” rejoined the angry citizen, brandishing a piece of cloth. “What I propose is that you people shall match this material.”— Harper's Weekly. “Helpful Hints” That Hinder’ , Many of the “helpful hints” ihaane by our mothers are now proved uitérly useless, if not more harmful than helpful. For instance, no one now uses moist tea leaves to clean a carpet or rug, because of the inevitable stain- ing. And salt used ona carpet col- lects dampness and rusts the tacks. Newspapers, dampened and torn, an- swer the purpose much more satisfac- torlly. Rugs should be shaken from the sides, for the strain of the weight on the end is very apt to loosen the weft. Meeting the Unusual. Mr. Sinic—Do you see those three people walking together down there? Mrs. Getup—Yes; who are they?

THE FIRST TASTE Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby. If parents realized the fact that cof: fee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doubtless hesitate before giv- ing the babies coffee to drink. “When I was a child in my mother’s arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me sips of coffee. As my parents used coffee exclusively at meals I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water, “And so I contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite young, the continual use of coffee so aifected ‘my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it in the coffec-mill, as a substitute for coffee. _ “But it did not taste right and they ‘went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. Icontinued to use coffee until I was 27, and when I got into office work, I be- gan to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could scarcely attend to my corre- spondence, “At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. “A friend persuaded me to try Post- um. My wife and I did not like it at first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. “I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drink. ers, “There's a Reason.” Name giyen by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read “The Road to Well- ville,” in pkgs. Ever read the above letter?

Boulder, Colo.—Commencement was finished at the University of Colorado Wednesday night with the reception tendered to graduates, faculty and alumni, at the home of Pres. James H. Baker. Wednesday morning the graduation exercises were held in the chautauqua auditorium and degrees conferred upon 146 graduates. Sixteen of these were higher degrees and eighty bachelors of arts. The parade formed on the university campus, behind Lohmann's band, and led by Senior Marshal Herman Weiberger and Harry Curtis, the president of the class, marched around the campus. The faculty brought up the rear, their colored hoods and robes lending a festive air to the occasion. The party was carried to the chautauqua in tallyhos, and the procession reformed. The degrees were conferred upon the various schools by their respective deans, and Pres. James H. Baker. The Rev. Harry Noble Wilson, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church at St. Paul, Minnesota, received the degree of doctor of divinity. He was a graduate of the university in the class of 1891, and is the first graduate of Colorado to have returned and delivered the commencement oration. After the commencement exercises the annual banquet of the Alumni association was held in the dining hall. Before the ovation President Baker awarded the two governor's prizes of $25 each, given by Gov. Henry A Bucntel, to Edward A. Nafe and Miss Jett Condit, as the two students in the liberal arts most deserving of recognition for services rendered to the school. Walter Clyde Hawes of Loveland, a freshman, was announced as the winner of the Bennett prize, the income on a sum of $400 left to the university by the late Philo G. Bennett for the best essay on the principles of free government. His subject was "Immigration and Democracy." Miss Anna Elizabeth Elwell and Lawrence Henry Serry received honorable mention. Suit Against Oil Company. Civil Engineers' Convention. Denver.—Four hundred of the foremost engineers of the world will attend the annual convention of the American Society of Civil Engineers which opens in Denver June 23rd. The program for the international event has been issued and two special trains from Chicago will bring the delegates to this city June 22nd. The convention this year will be the first meeting of the society in Denver since 1886. The membership extends to nearly every country in the world, although the American members alone number nearly 4,000. The sessions will be held in the Senate chamber at the state capitol. Faith Cure Teaching Denver.—Mrs. Charles B. Kountze, wife of the millionaire president of the Colorado National Bank, has accepted the new faith cure teachings of the Rev. W. W. McArthur and has made arrangements for a small number of her friends to hear the new doctrine propounded by its founder in her palatial home at 1615 Grant street, each Monday and Thursday morning. The Rev. Mr. McArthur's doctrine, briefly stated, is that Christ is the redemption of the body as well as of the soul, and that one who is ill has only to have faith in the redeeming power of Christ to be made well. Hon. J. W. McCreery of Greeley, president of the State Bar Association, has just finished a course of eight lectures before the seniors of the law school of the State University on irrigation law. A similar series will be given by him next year. The skeletons of the two prospectors found in Death Valley some weeks ago are now believed at Trinidad to be those of J. W. Swain and his father, as it is known that they entered Death Valley on a prospecting tour about a year ago. J. W. Swain was a former resident of Trinidad. DREYFUS SHOT AT ZOLA'S TOMB MILITARY WRITER FIRES THE BULLET IN THE PANTHEON DURING SERVICES. Paris.—Just at the close of the ceremonies attending the canonization of Emile Zola, in the Pantheon Thursday, when the President of France, the premier and a host of ministers of state were taking their departure, Louis Anthene Gregori, a military writer of note, drew a revolver and fired two shots point blank at Major Alfred Dreyfus, for whose liberty Zola fought and won. Men distinguished in all walks of life filled the Pantheon, and when the shots rang out there was intense excitement in fear that the President had been assassinated, but even the attempt of the life of Major Dreyfus created a profound impression. Soldiers speedily surrounded Gregori and he was taken to jail, bruised and bleeding, with his clothes almost torn from his back. Major Dreyfus was not seriously injured. A bullet entered his forearm, but did not injure the bone. The affair has created a tremendous sensation in Paris, and the motive of the would-be assassin is the cause of much mystification, for Grégori, instead of being an ordinary fanatic such as is carried away by the political passions of the moment, is a man of mature age, having been born in 1844, and was highly esteemed in the circles where he was known. Although born of Italian parents, he has been an ardent Frenchman for years, and has written authoritatively on military subjects, enjoying close relations with many high French officers. He was one of the correspondents who followed the big French and German maneuvers, obtaining data for technical papers. His friends are at a loss to understand what induced him to commit such a foolhardy act, and many are disposed to question his statement that he simply shot as an individual protest against participation of the army in the ceremonies in the Pantheon. Some do not hesitate to express the opinion that he may have been the tool of a little clan of royalists, who, under the name of L'Action Française, have never ceased to insist that the court of cassation illegally prevented an appeal of the Dreyfus case, nor abandoned hope of seeing a revision favorable to the contention of the Nationalists. Some color is lent to this theory by a series of remarkable articles that appeared in this morning's L'Action Française from the pens of Charles Maurras and Leon Daudet, son of a poet, who are the leading spirits among the Royalists supporters of the restoration of Phillippe of Orleans. The articles apparently anticipated today's event, that of Maurras declaring that "there may be a rumbling before the revolution." Daudet wrote: "The real hero will be Dreyfus, and Dreyfus may ask himself whether this nocturnal glorification of modern crime will not conjure up a terrible dawn. He has already heard the stroke of midnight." Oregon Senatorship Vote. Portland, Ore.—Gov. G. E. Chamberlain, Democrat, is the choice of the people of Oregon for the United States senatorship to succeed Charles W. Fulton, Republican, and a Republican Legislature has been chosen to elect him. Chamberlain's majority over his opponent, Judge Henry M. Cake, Republican, it is believed, will exceed 1,000. Chamberlain's victory is in the nature of a personal triumph. Oregon normally is Republican, and in 1904 Roosevelt's plurality was 42,434. Governor Chamberlain has twice been elected governor of this state. The selection of Chamberlain by the people is but a preliminary step to the senatorship. In Oregon candidates for the Legislature align themselves either in the "statement No. 1" column or in the "anti-statement No. 1" column. "Statement No. 1" is a pledge to support in the Legislature the candidate having the endorsement of the people. The complexion of the next Legislature, as indicated by the returns, will be almost unanimously Republican, and it may be the lot of a Republican Legislature to send a Democrat to the Senate. From the figures at hand it would appear that there will be about forty-eight "statement No. 1" men in the next Legislature. It requires forty-six votes to elect. Prohibition was an important factor in the election, the anti-saloon element making a surprising showing. From the returns at hand it is believed that nineteen counties voted "dry," in double four, now dry one, partly dry three. Equal suffrage was defeated by a heavy vote. Beef Trust Affects England. London.—The American "beef trust" and its alleged control of the British meat market came up in the House of Commons. Charles W. Bowerman drew attention to the recent increases in the price of meat, declaring they had been engineered by the trust. He asked Winston Churchill, president of the board of trade, to follow the example of the American Congress and appoint a commission to inquire into the operations of the trust in this country and devise relief for the British consumer from its increasing exactions.

THE PLATFORM AND THE NEGRO. WHAT should the National Republican convention have to say about the Negro, in its platform this year? At times Negroes have clamored, argued and even threatened to fight, over the expression which, it was thought, the party should make on the race question, or on that particular phase of the race question which seemed at those times to be necessary to secure to the colored man the rights with which he was presumably clothed, or intended to be clothed, when he was emancipated from slavery. But since the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the national constitution, the expressions in national party platforms have not been followed by legislation which materially and permanently altered ex- isting conditions, or in any degree increased the Negro’s opportunities or retarded the drifting away of his so-called rights. National Demoeratie platforms have made no expression whatever on the Negro question, but what are considered Demoeratie principles have made material headway in the last twenty years, as is demon- strated by the real drift of events in those sections of the country where the race question is given important consideration. ‘The logic of events appears to demonstrate that national platform expressions on the race question exert little influence upon conditions they are supposed to effect, and that even as means for the shaping of public sentiment, they are little less than impotent. The Southern states have gone ahead steadily in their express determination to dis- franchise the Negro, and thereby overcome the spirit of the fifteenth amendment. What the Democratic party would not put into its national platform at all, it has boldly made a paramount issue in many of its state and local campaigns. In every instance in which it has been sought to make the Negro or his ‘‘rights’’ a political issue, the Negro seems to have suffered in the long run of events. Then why should we expect good to arise out of a pursuit of the same course? A declaration favoring a reduction of southern representation in Congress to a basis consistent with its actual voting population, will never be followed by correspond ing legislation, and would be of no practical value as a vote-getter, Any expression upon the Negro soldier that the convention might make, would carry little weight, because Congress has already had ample opportunity to settle the soldier question upon a basis of common sense and probable truth. It is evident that as a practical, accountable political foree, the Ne- gro is going to be left more and more to his own resourcefulness, and with this view constantly before us, we see no reason why the Republi- can platform should contain any cateh-phrase or other stultifying ex- pression on the Negro, OFFICIAL CALL Colorado, Springs, Colo.

National Economy By ANDREW CARNEGIE. No practical man can study our mineral sup- plies without seeing that they are melting away un- der our national growth at a geometrically increas- ing rate, and without realizing that unless the loss is checked his descendants must suffer; nor can he consider ways of preserving the supply without realizing the need of wider and deeper knowledge than we now possess. It was not resources alone that gave this country its prosperity, but inventive skill and industrial enterprise applied to its resources. In- dividually we have been both forehanded and fore- minded: nationally we have been forehanded chiefly through the accident of discovery by John Smith and Walter Raleigh, but nationally we are not yet foreminded. So far as our mineral wealth is concerned, the need of the day is prudent foresight, coupled with ceaseless research in order that new minerals may be discovered, new alloys produced, mew compounds of common substances made available, new power-producing devices developed. ‘The most careful inventory of the family patrimony should be made. I plead for economy, that the next generation and the next may be saved from want—but especially, I urge research into and mastery over Nature, in order that two blades may be made to grow where one grew before, that the golden grain may be made to replace woody grass, that crude rocks may be made to yield fine metals. Our duty is plain. First, conservation of forests, for no forests, no long navigable rivers; no rivers, no cheap transportation. Second, to systematize our weter 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 brizigs 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 commerce, less wealth. of humor go down into the most seeret recesses of the human heart and are nourished by thoughts of a broad and profound comprehension of life. ‘The more we investigate the nature of humor the more shall we understand that this, its substratum—we may call it the philosophy of humor, or, if you prefer, the religion of humor, or the serious back- ground which unnoticeably gives humor its setting—is an indispensable part of it. Humor as a rule appears frivolous and flippant to the narrow minded bigot who glories in vinegar and scowls at the silver ring of a laugh as an impious demonstration, but experience will teach us that humor is the child of grave, often of sad, experience; that it originates it through the wholesome reaction of a strong heart against the sorrows and cares of life, which, vampirelike, suck from out our souls all vitality and the joy of life, and would leave us moral wrecks sicklied over with mel- ancholia, pessimism and misanthropy. Humor has a great task to perform, for to humor we owe the silver of the clouds of life. Humor offers us the invigorating tonic that restores our spirits and buoys us up when fatigue threatens to overcome us. But in order to be effective humor should be the expression of a conviction; it ought to reflect the world conception of a thinker; it must be backed Humor comes to us as a liberator. When we meet with reverses or are perplexed by untoward circum- stances we are annoyed and suffer bitterly. It is as if a poisonous infection had gained entrance into our psychical system, but we are cured as soon as we can laugh at our own faults and follies. Our laughter proves that humor comes only to the man who can rise above himself. Humor is the reward of a philo- sophical attitude in life. Yea, we might say it is the triumph of a moral victory we have won. A continuation of the divorce evil means the degradation of the race. Another evil has been referred to a number of times by your president, it appears that the families in America are not as large as they should be. There is no excuse for this, for this is not a poor country. ‘This matter of small families is directly opposed to the welfare and glory of the United States. A oy Jokes Serve a Real Good By DR. PAUL CARUS. Divorce and Race Suicide By CARDINAL LOGUE, of Ireland, Now Visiting in America. Must Be Observed With Reference to Natural Resources Humor is a rare treasure which we need not hesitate to prize most highly among the best things of life. It is none of the ponderous gifts of heaven such as the serious religious ideals; it is not a vir- tue in the narrow sense of the word; it is not a sister of that noble trio, Faith, Hope and Charity; it is not sublime and lofty nor is it grand and noble; it does not keep aloof from the common people in the hum- ble walks of life; on the contrary, it min- gles freely with all and in its democratic judgment even seems to prefer the asso- ciations of the lowly. And ‘yet the roots America must put a check on the di- voree evil. Families in the United States must be larger.

Murder and Suicide. Sunday afternoon at the Morrato rooming house at 22nd and Champa streets, was the scene of a tragedy thui caused the death of two people, when Roy Tate shot his wife, Eva Tate three times, killing her instantly and then put two bullets into his own body, which caused his own death at the county hospital. It is said that the couple had been separated for some time and that Tate believed his wife was unfaithful to him. He grew de- desperate and on Sunday afternoon called at the rooming house and gave the landlady a nickle to call up Mrs, ‘Tate and tell her to come to the place. She arrived at the place a few mo ments later and met the fate above mentioned. 2 The funeral of Mrs. Tate was held Wednesday morning at.10 o'clock from the home of her parents Rev. A. M.

Spirit That Belonged to the Men Who Fought with Perry Is with the Bluejackets of Uncle Sam To-Day. Depicting the courage, fortitude and heroism of the ordinary seamen of the "Old Navy," the historian Bancroft narrates numerous incidents of real life on shipboard; and probably the most thrilling manifestation of heroism, patriotism and personal self-effacement described by that great writer is concerning the conclusion of the battle of Lake Erie, when the concentrated fire of the British so depleted the force of the flagship that Commodore Perry was obliged to call attendants away from the care of the wounded. Men dying and mortally wounded fell upon the decks, and looked with eyes of adoration upon their intrepid commander. The time came when the surgeon was mortally wounded and his mate, Parsons, with six assistants, had more than they could do to care for the increasing number of wounded. In fact, the time came when those who fell were obliged to lie where they fell, for lack of hands to carry them below. Then Commodore Perry called down to Parsons: "You must send one of your assistants on deck immediately." This order was obeyed, and in a few minutes another assistant was called; then another and another, until all of the assistants were at work serving the guns. Then Parsons was called upon to send up one or more wounded men who could pull a rope. They came and entered feebly but willingly into the work assigned to them. Wilson Mays, an ordinary seaman, was sick when the battle begun, but he went on deck to participate in the engagement, and was wounded. He was sent below and his injury cared for. When he heard the commander calling for more men he asked to be allowed to go on deck again. His request was finally sent to Perry, who asked: "What can he do?" "I can sound the pump and let some strong man go to the guns," came the answer. The permission was given and Mays sat down at the pump, relieving a man who cheerfully went to work where he was greatly needed. When the battle was over Wilson Mays, ordinary seaman, was found at his post of duty, smiling cheerfully; but, examination disclosed the fact that he was dead—shot through the heart! Unconquerable as Spartans will ever be the nation that is defended by such men. Wilson Mays deserves an everlasting monument in memory of his heroism. In the Days of Dueling. Senator Payunter of Kentucky says that when James Watson Webb of New York made Tom Marshall of Kentucky a target for his editorial lance, he struck a tartar. Marshall challenged and insisted upon a duel, which was fought near Wilmington, Del. The principals were stationed ten feet apart and exchanged shots without effect. Marshall insisted upon another shot, and both men fired simultaneously. Col. Webb staggered, his seconds laid him on the ground and the surgeon announced that he was wounded below the knee. "That was the lowest act of my life," shouted Marshall. "Stand him up again for another shot." But Webb was unable to stand. He was taken to a hotel, where he was laid up for several weeks, saying to his visiting friends: "I am confined to my bed, under the Marshall law." Dress Coats Not in Demand. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell's boat, the Lorna Doone, is in Boston harbor, taking on a cargo of cast-off clothing and other gifts for the poor of Labrador, among whom Dr. Grenfell labors. It has been necessary to warn the good people of Boston that the men of the Labrador and Newfoundland coasts do not, as a rule, dress formally for dinner. Last year one swallow-tail coat which was sent out in a box of clothing found its way into Dr. Grenfell's hands. After deliberating, the doctor performed a surgical operation on the tails, and, buttoned tightly round the oily body of a young Esquilmau hopeful, the coat made as good a Spencer jacket as the heart could wish. But the medical missionary doesn't want any more open-face coats. Mr. Green's Waterloo. Mr. Green had been paying four dollars a week for board; his appetite constantly increased. Finally his landlady saw that she must either sell out and quit or raise her boarder's rate. One day, after watching him feverishly devouring plateful after plateful, she plucked up courage, and said: "Mr. Green, I should "Mr. Green, I shall have to raise your board to five dollars." Mr. Green looked up with a start, then in a tone of consternation he said: "Oh, Mrs. Small, don't! It's as much as I can do now to eat four dollars worth."—Woman's Home Companion Thelr Specialty. "I hate the man who brags and the man who whines," asserted the dogmatic person. "The man I like most is the man who takes things quietly." "Well," replied the listener, "aren't there enough pickpockets and sneak thieves to suit you?" Gray-Haired Man Remembers a Boy Who Tried It Forty Years Ago. "Whenever I read in the newspapers that a boy has run away from home to fight Indians or seek some other sort of adventure, it takes me back 40 years," said the gray-haired man in the club smoking room. "For I ran away from home once, just as I suppose every other youngster does, once at least, only in my case I wasn't seeking adventure. I was escaping tyranny. "It seems foolish now, but it was all very real to me then. The tyranny consisted of the one fact that I got my first licking, and I guess there's no doubt that I deserved it. But I couldn't see it that way then; I was very bitter, and the one idea I had was to get away where life was free and tyrants were not. "The impulse to depart on my travels was carried out so suddenly that I found myself wandering far away from the house before it dawned on me that I was ill provided for a journey. I had gone just as I was, with the smart of my physical as well as mental wrongs still acute. "As I went I pondered over the matter of provisions, and the idea came to me that I would make by first stand in a cranberry bog right on the farm. With this as a headquarters I would make raids on neighboring orchards, and if the worst came to the worst I supposed the cranberries would support life. "Well, I reached the cranberry bog presently and blivouacked. Here I should spend the first night under the friendly stars. I picked out a soft place for a bed and sat down to wait for night. "Now, cranberries are not very filling, especially in the raw, green state, but I managed to eat some of them. And then it began to get dark. "Well, sir, the shadows fell quickly on the hills about me and the air grew chill. Fantastic monsters reared their horrid heads on every hand. The free life began to pall. "So it won't surprise you to learn that a very little boy ran home crying before the supper things had been cleared away, and that he never ran away again." Revenge That Proved Effective. One of our young society women has a very good looking husband of whom she is most proud. Having noticed that this gentleman was paying marked attention to a lady in her own set she kept a careful watch and was fortunate enough to discover among her husband's papers a number of letters written by the said lady. She then reflected as to what course she should pursue. She thought long and at last hit upon a strange plan. From among the correspondence the lady selected four letters, pasted them on the back of her fan, and then accompanied her husband to a dinner where she knew she would meet her rival. It was not long before the fan attracted the attention of the guests, who asked to be allowed to look at it. The fan then passed from hand to hand, and when it reached the rival she turned crimson and under the pretext of a sudden indisposition withdrew hastily. -Gentlewoman. A Wife's Need. She needs a good temper, a cheerful disposition and a knowledge of how her husband should be treated. She needs a capability of looking on the right side of life and refusing to be worried by small things. She needs a secure grasp of such subjects as are of interest to men, and should not be above studying even politics in order to understand should her husband speak of them. She needs a sympathetic nature in order that, should sorrow fall upon them, she may be able to give comfort. She needs to understand something of sick nursing. A wife with no notion of what to do in the case of illness is but a useless thing. She needs tact and patience—the one to enable her to know when to remain silent and vice versa, and the other to put up with her husband when his temper is ruffled.—Chicago American. Appetite Stimulated by Cold. Appetite Stimulated by Cold. Sufferers from loss of appetite are advised to migrate to the south pole. Prof. Edgecombe David of the University of Sydney, who is a member of the Shackleton expedition, has sent a letter to his wife. He says he is in good health and that his appetite is amazing. "The vast quantities that one eats and really seems to need in this cold climate are simply marvelous. I suppose they are chiefly used in keeping up the body temperature." The professor adds that penguin soup is delicious and that he has become very fond of seal meat. He wrote his letter from the camp at the foot of Mount Erebus, the volcanic and glacial geology of which he was engaged in examining.

PICTORIAL MAP OF DENVER. They Can Be Easily Recog- nized. ‘The new map of the city of Denver, copies of the original drawings of which have been on exhibition and which have attracted much attention because of the careful and accurate portrayal of the city, has just been {s- sued from the office of the Bird’s-Eye- View Publishing Company of this city. ‘The map, which ir a pictorial repre- sentation of Denver, looking south from the Twenty-third street viaduct and printed in eight colors, is one of the most complete, accurate and artis- tie representations ever made of any city. Every building is so carefully and accurately pictured that no one living in the city need have any diffi- culty in finding on the map the exact house in which he lives. In the downtown sections the prin- cipal buildings are so faithfully por- trayed that they can easily be recog- nized from their appearance, but for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar with the city, the names of several hundred of the principal hotels, bus ess houses, schools, churches and of. ice buildings are designated on the dings themselves. In addition to this’ there is a marginal index, with thirty-two reference figures at the bot: tom and top of the map and all the letters of the alphabet at the sides. By the aid of these about 500 of the prin cipal buildings and points of interes! in the city can be located in the short est_possible time. ‘The work is done in several colors, so carefully selected and placed that the perspective of the city is brought out in the best possible manner, con. sidering the extent of the undertaking ‘The map Is in reality a huge picture of the city. In the margin are found thirty-four photographs of the most important buildings and places of interest in the city, including the new auditorium, the state capitol, the union depot, the Union stockyards and the City park ‘The picture map is printed on a sbeet 64 by 44 inches in size, Cold Storage, Hook—“I understand he married a cool million.” Cook—"Yes, but he’s complaining now because he hasn't been able to thaw out any of it.”—Illustrated Bits.

This unprepossessing “ditch,” as it has so often been called, has been held responsible almost as much as the unbridled extravagance of Ismail Pasha, for the financial ruin of Egypt, and her occupation by Great Britain. Despite dire prophecy, and centuries of failure—for nearly every ruler of Egypt, from Set!, father of Rameses the Great to Napoleon Bonaparte, tried his hand at the problem of estab- Ushing water commitnication between the Mediterranean and the Red sea— the great canal has become a fixed fact in the world’s history. ‘The one time American consul general at Cairo, Mr. Frederick Courtland Pen- field, in his charming and instructive book, “Present Day Egypt,” lets in Pee aah agen Sa ae ge SN ea we Pa gw WN a PRUs 0 3's eee YS. aay 2a Se eas =) wer. ke SF Sam De iy ‘The Mud Houses. much pleasant light upon the musty, old traditions of the ancient land. Strabo, now; he’s the world’s earliest geographer and historian, or one of ‘em, and I suppose we are bound to believe him, even when he says (he must have said it, for I've never seen any of his handwriting lying around) that 14 centuries before the Christian era (that’s an awful long time, Strabo; but I'l not dispute the word of a gentleman) Set! cut a canal 57 miles long from Bubastis near the present town of Zigzag—I mean Zaga- zig— to Heroopolis, at the head of the Bitter lakes, then forming the north- ern extremity of the Suez gulf. Herodotus—another old-timer who juggles with centuries as the circus clown juggles with his old hat—says that 800 years later Necho the Persian tried a little canal building, keeping at it till the mere trifle of a hundred and twenty thousand lives had been sacrificed in the job, and only aban- doning it when the great oracle of that day (whom he consulted) prophesied that the most dire results would fol- low the completion of the work, and the entire land of Bgypt be given over to the stranger and the barbarian. Then, successively, the Roman em- perors ‘Trajan and Hadrian; the Arabian .conqueror Amron; the great Napoleon, who held the hollow of the Heavens in his usurping hand; Me- hemet Al, who had butchered 400 Mamelukes before supper, but had not the daring to brave the ancient prophecy; French enginers, English engineers, Austrian engineers, each and all, tried their hand, but to no definite end. They disagreed as to the level of the two seas.- Napoleon's en- gineers estimated that the Mediter- ranean was 30 feet below the level of the Red sea, calling for a scheme of sluices and locks. Waghorn, an Eng- lshman, declared that the level of the two waters was identical. Meanwhile, a young Frenchman was dreaming dreams; he was eloquent; he was convincing; and he finally convinced Said Pasha that the future was lettered big with the name of Ferdinand de Lesseps, and if a con- cession were given to him, he would make Egypt and France both immor- tal. He got the concession. Said eared nothing for the ancient oracle that, had frightened his grandfather Mehemet, and so Fate swept on with her relentless broom and Said was gathered to his fathers; Ismail the magnificent, the extravagant, a prince of immense fortune, succeeded his uncle and also succeeded in plunging his unhappy country up to the neck in bonds and mortgages galore; Eu- rope stepped in; England became the purchaser of Ismail’s personal hold- ing (only $20,000,000 saved from the wreck of $85,000,000) which he sur- rendered to his creditors a short time before his dethronement and banish- ment to Naples. Ismail not only incurred, in his brief rule of 16 years, a debt of over $400,- 000,000, but he mortgaged the souls of generations of Egyptians yet unborn. And thus did the prophecy come true! The ancient oracle spake not in vain, ‘The land of the Pharoahs ané the Ptolemies, of Alexander and Clec- patra, has passed into the hands of the stranger. ‘The canal's varied and i Im-st rragie history lent an added intrest to the dull and monotonous aspect that it presents, the flat sandy banks melting out into the desert, unbroken save for the occasional government stations, a steamer tied to the bank waiting for ours to pass, or a collection of mud houses belonging to Arabs, whose camels and donkeys were tethered nearby. At times, small boys would race along the banks, easily keeping pace with the slowly moving steamer, cry- ing for “Backsheelsh,” to which the passengers and crew responded by tossing fruit and packages of food and money to them. Great stream dredgers were fre- quently passed working constantly tc keep the canal passable for steamers, as sand and silt are continually filling it up. Port Said is a town of some impor- tance, very much larger than Suez, but in the flying glimpse we caught of it in the course of a wild, early-morning ride to catch the train for Cairo, we were impressed by its dirt and noise more than by anything else. ‘The ride to Cairo was tiresome for many reasons, chiefly because of the dust and files, and a family who shared the compartment with us, to- gether with a mountain of luggage. ‘The changing interest of the land- scape, however, made us forget the annoyances, for were not the scenes of the Bible spread out before us like an open book. The shepherd with his flock, the camels either resting or marching slowly, the mud houses sur- rounded by palms, the women carry: ing water jars on their heads, walking splendidly, swinging lightly from their hips. A family working among the fertile fields; Uttle girls tending goats and winding wool on a distaff as they Watched, or else a venerable old man in floating draperies riding a diminw- tive donkey. During the ride we were much edi- fied by one of the English party with us saying as we passed a station: “There's a fine engine, a splendid en- gine, by Jove!” “That's an American engine,” said the other man, adding, before we had lost our little glow of patriotic pride, “but we don’t care for them out here, they burn such a lot of coal and are so very dirty!” To our humble sugges: tion that perhaps they made up for this defect by being fast, he assented condescendingly that they were fast, “but so dirty, you know!” ‘The great barrage, near Cairo, con- structed to hold back the surplus waters and thus irrigate a larger area, was begun in 1837 from plans siad6 ‘by Mongel Bey, a Frenchman. The English tourist never lets slip a chance to boast of his country’s su- periority in the matter of the reincar. nation of Egypt under British “oceu- pation;” and a good story is told by Consul Penfleld of one of these globe trotters who was inspecting, with a proud air, the great barrage. “Yes, it’s a great work, and these foreigners ought to better appreciate what we are doing for thelr good. This thing has put them on their feet, finanelally, sure enough, but I don't see that they show any gratitude for our having built it!” “I beg your pardon,” said the en- gineer in charge, “but this barrage was designed and built by French en- gineers.” “{ didn’t. know that,” replied the tourist, somewhat subdued, “but any- oe ) | Somes ! he a rs Mies eee CoN % Oe ees A PC iL ay ae ee ee ae ee Lean Be BAT aT Pavia eee SBiabe chest ts 2A) Bb ea asec 8) Water Jars on Their Heads. way, they have to get an Englishman to take care of it!” “I beg your pardon again,” said the gentleman with D.

Our interest was profound when we learned that they were pilgrims just starting on their long and tiresome journey to Mecea. They were bound for Port Said where they would take ship for Jaffa, from there traveling to Mecca by camel and horseback, though the great majority go all the way across the desert on foot, thereby attaining added merit, Beside assured salva- tion, a trip to Mecca gives a man the right to wear a turban of green, the prophet’s own color, and the title of Hadjf, and when he returns to his home, he would quite naturally fresco over kis shop or house door the his- tory of the pilgrimage, a purple train, a red boat, a string of green camels, and a yellow mosque before which a maz ‘a blue turban bows himself in prayer, Beneath this highly decorative record he would henceforth sit serene- jy wearing his green turban, and smoking his narghila, trying to look unconscious of the looks of respectful edmiration not unmixed with envy \aét are cast in his direction, WORTH El FF af @ A Sn 0 COLLEGE ann AS Rookkeoping Bepartment les Public Rssguntant Gud Auditor, Bond Eee enter logues 1735 Champa Street, Denver, Colorada.

All the new fads and fancies find reflection in the latest parasols, and it is possible to find a parasol to correspond with almost any costume. The ultra-fastidious woman, of course, orders her hats, parasols and frocks en suite. The successful milliners are showing fascinating sets including hat, parasols and long fringed scarf. These sets are in mule, chiffon, lace and silk. They are all elaborate and even alluring, but their cost is a trifle appalling to the woman of limited bank account. Batiste embroidery is used as trimming upon many parasols of the more elaborate type, being inset in motifs or combined with fine lace and chiffon. The latest sunshades are sketched here. That at the top shows a design of pale pink and rose in an odd pattern, the deep border being a combination of the two shades. The second parasol is of natural pongee with graduated dots for decoration, also border all in Alice blue. MOST MIRRORS ARE DECEPTIVE. To Get a True Reflection, Glass Must Be Draped. One's reflection in a mirror never does one justice. Comfortable thought for the plain and pretty alike. Complexion, expression and color are all really better than the shining glass makes them appear. Let not her to whom nature has been sparing of her charms despair. If she would see herself in the deceptive mirror as others see her with the eye, or as nearly as possible, let her hasten to a draper's shop and buy a quantity of soft, pure white material—gauze if possible; if not, Swiss or India muslin will answer all right. NEED OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE. No Woman Can Long Neglect It, and Retain Beauty. The woman who says she has "not time" for exercise is usually the one who most requires it. She who sits in an office or stands behind a counter must have certain aids, such as rest, diversions of a proper kind, exercise and diet, to maintain health, and it is by adjusting these surely that balance is kept. It is a mistake to think that because one walks during the day or does housework, etc., sufficient exercise is taken, for it must be remembered that only one kind of work is done and necessarily others must be de Be sure to have it pure white, and after polishing the surface of the mirror gather the material at the center of the top and bring it down softly at either side, framing the glass softly in folds of pure white. When this is done to artistic satisfaction peep in and see what a transformation. The true tints of the complexion, the expression of the countenance and the eyes, the correct color of the hair, will be accurately reflected. This is one of the milliner's oldest secrets. Many of the most artful of them drape the glasses in the softest drapery of pure white. It is done with the view of giving their fair patronesses the best view of themselves possible, administering in this way a little subtle flattery, while showing off the headgear to the best advantage. This "tip," therefore, possibly may cause a return to favor of the draped toilet glasses of a few years ago. Importance of Negligees To leave home without putting into the bag or the trunk a negligee of some sort would be to court all sorts of discomfort, for after an exceptionally long run every woman needs the relaxation of her kimono and her slippers. There are innumerable soft, noncrushable fabrics of which negligees may be made, but none prettier than the challies in Persian patterns or the thin cushmeres trimmed with wash ribbons. Some tourists, however, rely upon matinee jackets matching their silk petticoat, and these, of course, require the minimum of space and answer perfectly for lounging purposes, but not for bath robes nor to facilitate hasty flight from a hotel in case of fire. Clean Bathing. It is necessary to keep all bathing accessories pure and clean. The sponge, if it shows signs of souring, should be rubbed occasionally with fresh lemon and rinsed several times in lukewarm water. A sun bath also purifies a sponge. The soap should be allowed to drain and dry off after the bath and never be allowed to soak in the water. Lastly the tub should be carefully rinsed and cleansed ready for the next occupant. This is a little point which should be unnecessary to mention, but is, alas, often forgotten or sequestered. NEED OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE. No Woman Can Long Neglect It, and Retain Beauty. The woman who says she has "not time" for exercise is usually the one who most requires it. She who sits in an office or stands behind a counter must have certain aids, such as rest, diversions of a proper exercise and diet, to maintain health, and it is by adjusting these sanely that balance is kept. It is a mistake to think that because one walks during the day or does housework, etc., sufficient exercise is taken, for it must be remembered that only one kind of work is done, and necessarily others must be developed to keep the strength. Then again, unless the mind is relaxed any kind of physical exercise is valueless. For instance, 20 minutes' walk in the air should be taken at some time each day by any woman who does not wish to lose her complexion and freshness in early youth. To breathe deeply while walking is not only to increase the benefit of the outing, but trains the lungs to expand to healthfulness, and greatly improves the figure by filling out hollows in the neck or preventing them. If it is done at this time it will soon become a habit. An excellent way of beginning is to inhale slowly while taking six steps. By the seventh step exhaling should begin, taking the time of six more steps for it. This is simple, but worth trying.—Chicago American. WAIST OF CLOTH OR SILK. --- Simple waist of cloth or silk.

In the Country, Where Physician Is Not Available for Immediate Call, Supply of Drugs Is Prime Requisite. Keep your medicine closet in order. In every household, especially in country homes, where doctors and drug stores are far away, there should be a well-supplied and well-kept medicine closet. This should be locked or high up out of reach of children. Have everything labeled and plainly marked, with the average dose written on it. Have drugs marked "for external use" if used for that purpose only. It is through carelessness and lack of plain marking that many cases of poisoning have occurred. It is the custom now, however, for all poisonous drugs to be put in blue bottles so as to help prevent mistakes of this kind. Labels all prepared to be stuck, with mucilage on the back, can be procured at drug stores or stationers, and are very convenient for remarking medicine bottles if they need it. It is a good plan to go through your medicine chest once or twice a year and empty out old prescriptions, as they become stagnant and worthless after several months—that is, some do—and they undergo changes from standing. Keep a few empty clean bottles in your medicine closet and clean corks, also keep some soft clean old linen cloths for cut fingers, etc. Have a few bandages of different widths, a spoon and a medicine glass (like a small wine glass, only it is marked off in eight teaspoons, making one ounce). You should keep on hand in your medicine closet some staple drugs, such as calomel, in tablets or powders, of one grain each; quinine, one grain; brandy, codeine (for pain), one-quarter grain; castor oil, Epsom salts, Rochelle salts, carron oil, for burns; alcohol, for external use; turpentine and vaseline, for external use, especially for colds in the chest and bronchial colds; mustard leaves, so-called, which come as an already prepared mustard paste, for external use. Have your medicine closet beyond the reach of small children, as fatal accidents have occurred from children having access to the medicine closet. It belongs to good housekeeping and to the complete homemaker to have a medicine closet up to the usual demands of ordinary circumstances. If you do not need the medicines, so much the better. When I say closet I do not mean, of course, the usual large closet built in all modern bedrooms. I allude more to a wall cabinet or shelves inclosed and containing doors. These are provided or built in all modern houses, generally in the bathroom, but in country houses, especially in old-fashioned houses, where there are none, one could easily be made by a carpenter. Chicken, Creole Style. Heat three tablespoonfuls of dripping in a skillet and fry in it until light brown three sliced onions. Disjoint a large tender chicken, roll it in flour and fry it in the hot fat until brown. Place the chicken in a large heated casserole. Add to the fat in the skillet two tablespoons of flour and stir it until smooth; then add slowly one pint of strained tomatoes, three or four minced green peppers, one-half bay leaf, a sprig of parsley, minced, and a teaspoonful of salt. Cook five minutes and then pour over the chicken. Bake two hours.—Good Housekeeping. Walnut Cookies. Beat to a cream two eggs, one and a half cups sugar, three-quarters of a cup of butter or the same amount of lard to which a little salt is added. Chop fine a large cupful of English walnuts and beat into the creamed mixture. Add enough flour to roll, about two heaping cups, and a scant teaspoonful of baking powder. Roll as thin as possible and bake in moderate oven. These are delicious and not at all expensive if lard be used, as this quantity will make about 80 cookies. Codfish Balls. Use one-third dry salt cod and two-thirds potatoes. The fish, merely washed, is laid in the pot over the potatoes and enough boiling water poured over both to just cover them. Cook for one-half hour, then the water is drained off and they are shaken until dry and mashed with a potato mashed. Stir in a well-beaten egg and form into round smooth balls, roll in flour and fry in boiling hot fat until a delicate brown. To Destroy Paint Odor Put a kettle full of lighted charcoal on which has been thrown a handful of juniper berries, in the room, and carefully stop all openings, not forgetting the chimney. Leave the room closed for 24 hours, by the end of which time the smell will be gone. Of course, no person or animal must remain in the room while the charcoal is burning.—Country Life in America. Stretch Carpet with Feet. In housecleaning time when it comes to the hard task of stretching a carpet an easy way to do is to put on a pair of rubbers over your shoes, and after one side of the carpet is tacked down begin from that side of the room to shove the carpet with your feet, tacking at the other side of the room as you go along.
