Money Saved by Patronizing Those Who Advertise in This Paper. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WASHINGTON Tells the N. E. A. That Our Race Has Been Neglected. A Strong Plea to an Exceptional Audience. Thousands of Teachers From all Parts of the Country. VOL. XIV. WASHI Tells the N. E. A. That Our A Strong Plea to an Exc ands of Teachers From More than six thousand people crowded into the Hippodrome last week Tuesday evening to hear Dr. Booker T. Washington's address. He was by far the biggest drawing card on the N. E. A. program and he made what we believe to be his best speech in the north because it was practically free from the usual offensive and derisive "nigger" stories Mr. Washington has so long, entirely too long, persisted in rehashing in this section of the country during his otherwise interesting addresses. Among other things he said that in the last analysis it was success that commanded the respect and admiration of the white race as well as his own. He declared that one-fourth of the physical property of some parts of the south belongs to Negroes. "You owe us a duty," he continued. "You forced us here and we are going to stay. We are following into your ways. We have the same veneration for your institutions that you have. I am proud of being a member of a race that has made such progress as the Negroes have in the last forty years. In fact, Negroes own forty-one banks and now I see by the papers that a Negro has actually robbed a bank so you see we are following closely in your footsteps. "We have 16,000 ministers and 24,000 Christian churches with $27,000,000 invested in church property. Statistics show that it costs but 50 cents to educate a Negro child in the south, while it costs $5 to educate a white one. I consider this a compliment to the race. Disease and crime draw no color line and you can't hold a man in the ditch without remaining in the ditch with him. Some people are fond of asserting that education, as a force to uplift the Negro, is a failure. Education has never been tried among the rank and file of our people on a scale large enough to warrant any such judgment. The great bulk of our people have scarcely been touched by education. Official statistics show that two years ago 1,400,000 children of my race of school age were not even enrolled in the public schools, and a large portion of those enrolled, especially in the country districts, were in school only four or five months of the year. Do you know what it means to the good name and future security of this country to have in one part of it a million ```markdown ``` State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House and a half children growing up each year wholly without education? An untrained horse or dog is useless and non-effective; how much more is this true of a human being. What is the remedy? What is the one great need of the race of today? In my opinion it is strong, unselfish, intelligent Negro leaders and workers. We need in increasing numbers men and women of common sense who will go out among our people in the country districts and teach them first of all the dignity of labor; who will teach them proper farming methods; who will teach them how to work six days in the week instead of spending half of the week in idleness; who will teach them how to save their money instead of spending it for whisky and superficial show; who will teach them how to tax themselves, if necessary, to build a school house and extend the school term to seven or eight months in the year. We need educated leaders and workers who will teach our people how to live upon friendly and mutually helpful terms with the white man who is their neighbor; leaders and workers who will teach the masses that our race, like all races, must begin at the bottom and lay the foundation for proper citizenship in industrial directions. Some people are fond of passing judgment upon the progress of the race based upon their observation of that class of Negroes who are found in the police courts. It is always unsafe and unfair to depend upon the police courts to get one's impressions of the progress and standing of any race or people. In this respect I ask the American people to judge my race as other races are judged, that is, by their best representatives and not by their worst representatives. It would be entirely unfair for me to pass judgment upon the question of industry, the intelligence and moral standing of the people of Cleveland, by what I might observe any morning in your police courts. I do not do this. I pass judgment upon our civilization by what I see in your industrial, your business, your educational, and your church life. The Negro should be judged after the same manner, that is, by his best representatives and not by his worst. It is unfortunately true that in most parts of our country the white man does not come into contact with the best civilization of the Negro. The average white man onizing Th ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1908. rarely sees what the Negro is doing in his business industrial, education and moral and domestic life I have referred to two classes of colored people, one that is making progress, another class that is retarding progress. It would be unfair for me not to refer to the two similar classes of southern white people. We are making progress in the south, but the country owes it to the Negro, to the south and to itself that still greater progress shall be made in the future than in the past. I may be in doubt concerning some elements of our southern situation, but of one thing I feel absolutely sure, and that is that ignorance and racial prejudice never proved a settlement for any problem on earth. So long as we can go on patiently, quietly, persistently, giving all the people more skill, increased habits of industry, more intelligence and a higher idea DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON P. E. of morality and religion, we can be absolutely sure that we are traveling a safe and sure road. I would not care to live in a country where there was no weak race to uplift. One-fourth of the physical territory in the United States is comprised in a territory in which the Negro is depended upon very largely as the chief laborer," he said. "The Negro race in America now numbers not far from 10,000,000. Within a few years, perhaps in this generation, the race will have increased to 15,000,000. I repeat, that they are going to remain in this country for all time, and principally in the southern states. These meals were served in his rooms. The reason was given that greater privacy would be assured him and that he would be kept from contact with the curious. Washington, D. C.—The president has directed the quartermaster of the army to reserve a suitable plot of ground at the Arlinton National cemetery as a site for a monument in special honor of Negro soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war. The Colored Soldiers' Monument association, which petitioned for this action, is collecting funds with which it is proposed to erect the monument. millions of my race can be made useless or useful. They can be made to help or to hinder. They can be made to become criminals or law-abiding citizens. They can be made potent factors in the intelligences of our country, or they can become a lead of ignorance dragging down our civilization. Which shall it be?" At the close of Mr. Washington's address he was given an enthusiastic reception. Hundreds of N. E. A. members crowded upon the stage to shake his hand. When he left the auditorium he was escorted to the Hollenden hotel by a large number of friends. In the afternoon he entertained several visitors in his room at the hotel, but the aet that he was in the hotel was kept practically a secret. Mr. Washington arrived in Cleveland over the Pennsylvania via Pittsburg, last week Tuesday noon. His N, PRESIDENT OF TUSKEGEE. meals were served in his rooms. The reason was given that greater privacy would be assured him and that he would be kept from contact with the curious. Washington, D. C.—The president has directed the quartermaster of the army to reserve a suitable plot of ground at the Arlinton National cemetery as a site for a monument in special honor of Negro soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war. The Colored Soldiers' Monument association, which petitioned for this action, is collecting funds with which it is proposed to erect the monument. With a capital stock of $50,000, the prospects are that a second Negro bank will be established in Fort Worth, Texas. The project is backed by the Farmers' Improvement Society, an organization of 10,000 members. A special committee has been appointed to further the matter. W. Sidney Pittman, the architect, has been given a $90,000 school to erect in Garfield, D. C., by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. The recommendation came from the inspector of buildings. The school will be for colored children and will have twelve rooms. Bordeaux, July 14. While taking part in the races at the Park Velodrome, yesterday, Maj. Taylor the bicyclist, was thrown from his wheel by the bursting of one of the tires. His right arm was badly hurt, and he received other injuries and will not be able to race for some time. Taylor is one of the best known American sprint riders in this country. Smyrna, Del., July 12.—Columbus Jackson, colored, aged 30, was shot and killed today by a posse of citizens near Clayton, Del. He had been arrested, charged with keeping a speak-easy, but broke away from his captor and started to run. Constable Boyer, of Clayton, and several citizens gave chase. When Jackson ran into a cornfield several shots were fired, one of which struck him in the stomach. He died in a few minutes. No arrests has been made. Dr. R. Bobo, private secretary to Gen. Autenor Firmin, leader of the progressive party of Hayti, has issued at New York an address to the American people and the rulers of Europe, in which he appeals to the nations not to interfere with plans to arm against the government of President Nord Alexis, which, the address says, is a patriotic, civilizing and humanitarian task. The address is also a statement of the alleged barbarous tyranny under which the people of Hayti live. Fort Madison, N. Y., July 15.—The rumor in circulation last week that a colored chief musician would likely be placed at the head of the 54th Infantry Band, at a near date, is the general impression here, and the colored musicians have already begun to conjecture as to which of their number will be the lucky man, there being many efficient musicians in the NO. 44. band. Just when the appointment will be made is not known, but it can be said with authority that the 24th Infantry will have a colored bandmaster before long. Springfield, Ill.—According to an opinion handed down on the 18th by the Illinois supreme court Vespasian Warner, commissioner of pensions, loses his fight to sustain his father's will and as a result his stepmother, Mrs. John Warner, gets the widow's share of the estate. The value of the entire estate is estimated at $2,000,000 and Mrs. Warner will get practically $500,000. The supreme court affirms the lower court, which declared the antenuptial contract null and void and upheld her right to renounce the will and take her statutory allowence. The charge that Mrs. Warner has Negro blood in her viens is "immaterial and irrelevant," says the court. HEIRESS OF WHITE FATHER Pittsburg, Pa.—The strange infatuation of a well to do white man for one of the colored servants in his father's kitchen, and the undying love he bore for an acknowledged child, was brought forth June 30 when it became known that little Margaret McClure, a mulatto child living in poverty, was the heiress of E. A. McClure, who died recently in Canada, leaving an estate worth several thousand dollars. For the past three weeks the police have been searching for the McClure child, never dreaming that they were to uncover a most sensational affair. Word had come from the wilds of Canada that McClure, before dying from the results of an accident in the hospital at Gray's Siding, Ont., had made his attendants swear that they would see that his little daughter Margaret, then somewhere in Pittsburg, be found and all that he was leaving behind in the world be given her. The child was not found until June 30, when it became positively known that she was little Margaret, now living with Mrs. A. A. Franklin, a white woman at Coraopolis. The child is said positively to have been the offspring of McClure and a colored girl named Mary Pryor, who has disappeared in the past few years, having been unable to care for the child. An old warrant, which was sworn out by Miss Pryor against McClure as he fled from Pittsburg, is still in existence but nothing was heard of McClure since he left Pittsburg, nine years ago, until the word came from Canada some time ago that he was dead. McClure ten years ago was one of the most promising young men of uprere Ohio valley, living with his parents at Glenfield. Mary Pryor, the comely young girl, daughter of the janitor of the Sewickley Presbyterian church, was a servant in the family for a time. It is claimed by friends of the dead man that he would have married her had his parents not threatened to disown him. Steps are being taken now to have a guardian appointed for the little mulatto of 9 years, who will be rich. A CLAIMER'S STONDORAL GEH.

The proposition was given enthusiastic approval. General Passenger Agent Samuel G. Hatch announces that the Illinois Central railway has decided not to allow the sale of liquor on any of its diners or buffet cars south of the Ohio river. "Texas has had a similar law to that of Louisiana in force for some time," says Mr. Hatch; "and its effect, I understand, has been beneficial to all concerned." The state of Iowa bids fair to become the battleground in a war between the Bell and allied telephone interests. As the results of the Bell company buying up independent lines in Dubuque and at other points recently, a company composed of the many independent concerns in the state with a $20,000,000 capital to fight the Bell concern, has been organized. Nearly forty persons were injured, some of them fatally, and eleven so severely that they had to be taken to hospitals, in a head-on collision Tuesday between two Aurora, Elgin & Chicago Electric Railroad cars at Loveeale station, four miles north of Aurora, Illinois. The disaster occurred when the conches were each running at a speed estimated at forty miles an hour. William J. Bryan recently spent nearly a whole day in delivering short speeches into the phonograph. Previously he had made similar speeches on the records of a competing concern. The intention is to give the speeches wide distribution throughout the country. Of his own volition Mr. Bryan announced that he had received $500 from each of the two concerns as compensation for his work. The health farm of the Young Men's Christian Association at Denver is assured of substantial financial assistance, to come from some of the wealthiest men of the East including John D.

During that time the big birds will be featured in a New York production and if the plans of the promoters go not astray a soubrette will appear as the rider of each ostrich. Kentucky night riders on July 22d burned the stations of the Illinois Central Railroad Company at Gracey in Christian county, at Cerulean, in Triggs county, and at Otter Pond, in Caldwell county. The railroad had given permission to Madisonville soldiers on duty in the night rider region to camp on its property. Lieut.

Under this arrangement the War Department retains control of the forest on the reservation and at the same time gets the valuable services of the forestry bureau. On being told of the decision of the United States Court of Appeals in the Standard Oil case Attorney General Bonaparte said: "A suit of such importance certainly ought to be submitted for final decision to the Supreme Court of the United States. But since the court of appeals has decided, this cannot now be done." On being asked if the case would again be tried, Mr. Bonaparte replied: "I should be much surprised if it is not, but I cannot discuss the matter further until I have seen the opinion."

SMITH, Room 218, Granite Block, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "Peruna is the best friend a sick man can have. "A few months ago I came here in a wretched condition. Exposure and dampness had ruined my once robust health. I had catarrhal affections of the bronchial tubes, and for a time there was a doubt as to my recovery. "My good honest old doctor advised me to take Peruna, which I did and in a short time my health began to improve very rapidly, the bronchial trouble gradually disappeared, and in three months my health was fully restored. "Accept a grateful man's thanks for his restoration to perfect health." A. W. Perrin, M. D. S., 980 Halsey St., Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I am using your Peruna myself, and am recommending it to my patients in all cases of catarrh, and find it to be more than you represent. Peruna can be had now of all druggists in this section. At the time I began using it, it was unknown." WAS ONLY RED BLOOD. And Three-Year-Old Had Been Told That it Was Blue. Three-year-old Allan had a very aristocratic grandma, who prided herself on her own and her husband's blue-blooded ancestry. She told him heroic deeds of them and warned him from ever playing with boys of low degree. One day Allan came screaming up stairs to his mamma and grandma, holding his hand up covered with blood, where he had cut his little finger. They were both greatly alarmed, as he was a child who rarely cried or complained when hurt. Mamma washed the blood off and, examining the cut, said: "Why, dear, it's not so very bad. Does it hurt you so much?" "I'm not cryin' 'cause it hurts," he said, "but 'cause it's only red blood, and grandma said I had blue."—Philadelphia Ledger. HAZY.

Denver. - - Colorado AMERIGA LEADS IN THE OLYMPIC BRITONS ARE SECOND London.—The score in the field and track events of the Olympic games in which the American team came over to participate, up to Wednesday night, is as follows: America, 75; United Kingdom, 56%; Sweden, 12; Greece, 6; South Africa, 5; Canada, Norway, Italy, 3 each; France and Hungary, 14% each; Aus: tralia, Germany, Finland, 1 each. But comparative gloom pervaded the American camp Wednesday night. The athletes from over the seas had strong: ly cherished hopes of repeating Tues- day's grand record-making clean sweep in the track events, but a dark horse in the person of the South African youth, R, E. Walker, upset the calcu- lations. Walker broke the tape in what is considered the most important event in the Olympic games, the 100 meters dash, a short two feet in front of J, A. Rector, the University of Vir- ginia crack, thereby puting an end to the astonishing succession of American triumphs which had begun to sadden the Britons. Still a world’s record by C. J. Bacon of the Irish-American Athletic club tn the 400 meters hurdle, which he won in 55 seconds’ an Olympic record of 24 feet 6% inches by F. C. Irons of the Chicago Athletic Association in the run. ning broad jump, and the victory of G. S. Dole of Yale’ in the featherweight wrestling, out of seven finals, shoula be a satistactory day's performance. Great Britain, as usual, came second among the countries, with S. V. Bacon, winning the middleweight wrestling, and the English team defeating the Bel- gians in the water polo. The African colonial flag was raised to the mast- head to signalize Walker's great sprint, and Finland, whose _ representative, Saarla, conquered all colors in the Gre- co-Roman wrestling bouts, having no flag, brought forth the standard bear- ing the word “Finland,” which the Finns carried in the open parade, and it was elevated on the flag pole. Walker achieved an ovation seen only once in the lifetime on an ath- letic field, when 40,000 people rose with a great cheer and filled the air with hats, while the boy who in the morning was unknown but whose name filled London at night, was lifted on the ‘shoulders of enthusiastic friends. No one accepted the national misfor. tune more gracefully than Rector. ‘When spoken to regarding Walker's victory, the Virginian said: “Walker is a faster runner than I, and that is all there is to say.” | The Olympic games are developing into a huge success, While the meeting ‘started discouragingly with the weath. er and other conditions strongly against, London is fast becoming ath- letic mad. People everywhere talk of nothing but the Olympian runners and jumpers, and the women seem as much interested as the men, Great crowds gather around the ticket offices to secure the best seats for the final days and a big attendance is certain from this on. It would be hard to imagine a finer spectacle than the stadium presented Wednesday. From athletic, social and spectacular standpoints, it quite equalled the expectations of the pro- moters. Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family were pres: ent and congratulated the African run. ner on his victory. The stands con- tained 40,000 persons, of whom at least one-half were women, whose multi-colored costumes presented a fas cinating picture. The American sec tion was truly American with waving flags and noise making instruments. There was organized cheering by a large band of collegians under the leadership of a frantic youth, brandish ing a huge club and shouting, “Rah, rah, rah, Bacon,” which was heartily taken up by the others, when the first American victory of the day was pro: claimed. This caught the fancy of the crowd immediately as did the Ameri: cans cheering for Walker, who, al though he defeated their favorite, was as cordially greeted as their own coun: tryman, Bomb Thrown in Chicago. Chicago—A bomb was exploded in a tent in which Governor Deneen was addressing a political meeting at Gar- field boulevard and Princeton avenu Wednesday night. Women in the audience screamed and a number fainted. Men and wo men made a rush for the tent doors and Governor Deneen and others on the platform tried to stop the panic. When it was seen that no damage had been done the excitement subside and most of the audience returned to their seats. It 1s thought that the in. tention of the perpetrators was to cre ate confusion and rob people. Y. M.

Some of the boys ran twice. The actual running time was 114 hours 46 minutes, an average of 9.5 miles per hour.

JUDGE LANDIS TWENTY - NINE MILLION DOLLAR FINE REVERSED, NEW TRIAL GRANTED DECISION CONCURRED IN BY THE THREE JUDGES OF COURT OF APPEALS. Chicago—The famous decision of Judge Landis, by which the Standard Oil Company was fined $29,000,000, was reversed in a decision handed down by the United States Court of Appeals Wednesday morning. The case was remanded for new trial. The judgment came as a complete surprise. The night before, speculation as to the out- come of the suit was to the effect that the decision would almost certainly up- hold the fine imposed by Judge Landis. The Court of Appeals differs with the trial court on three points, holding that Judge Landis excluded evidence for the Standard Oil Company of In- diana which should have been ad- mitted to show proper intent in the rate the company paid on oll; that he erred in considering each car lot a separate offense; and that in impos- ing the maximum fine for the first of- fense he abused the discretion vested in his court. It is strange doctrine, says the opinion, whereunder a million dollar corporation such as the defend- dant, the Standard Oil Company of In- diana, may be fined twenty-nine times the amount of its capital stock, in or- der to punish a defendant not even under indictment. By this latter is meant the parent company, the Stan- dard Oil Company of New Jersey. The decision was reached by Judges Peter S. Grosscup, Francis B. Baker and William H. Seaman, and was unanimous. ‘The case will now go to the Supreme Court of the United States. The decision handed down Wednes- day by the United States Court of Ap- peals was on the appeal of the Stan- dard Oil Company of Indiana from the verdict rendered April 15, 1907, by which the company was found guilty of accepting rebates and was later fined by Judge Landis of the United States District Court $29,240,000, the maximum under the counts of the in- dictment. The specific charge against the com- pany was that it had accepted rebates on shipments of oil in carload lots from Whiting, Indiana, to Hast St. Louis, Illinois, over the Chicago & Al- ton road. Evidence was adduced at the trial showing that the company re- ceived rates one-third as large as other shippers were obliged to pay. It was contended by the counsel for the oil company that the rate was not secret but the jury found otherwise. During the trial counsel for the oil company refused to give information called for by Judge Landis after he had taken the case under advisement. The court thereupon issued subpoenas for the officials of the Standard Oil Com- pany of New Jersey, among them John D. Rockefeller, These officials ap- peared ia court on July 6, 1907, and were personally examined by Judge Landis. Judge Groscup wrote the opinion. The concluding sentence of the opin- fon reads: “The judgment of the District Court is reversed and the case remanded with instructions to grant a new trial and proceed further in accordance with this opinion.” President’s Yacht Sinks Schooner. Newport, R. L—President Roosevel:'s converted cruiser Mayflower, with the President on board, Tuesday night sunk a schooner in the sound between New London and New Haven. The Mayflower lost her bowsprit and ona anchor in the collision. ‘The crew of the sinking schooner was picked up by the Mayflower and loss of Iife in the accident was thus avoided. The collis- ion oecurred in a dense fog. The schooner that was sunk was the Men- awa, and was loaded with lumber. She carried a crew consisting of a captaiv and five men, Y. M. ©. A. Relay Race.

The race was for a distance of 1,000 miles, by hundreds of boys ranging in age from 12 to 21 years. The distance was covered in 119 hours and 22 minutes.

The decision to use the capitol grounds was arrived at because ot their great convenience to the large number of people who are expected to be present. The Bryan home ‘1s four miles from Lincoln, and it was manifest that the trolly service would be wholly inadequate. Children’s Sleep. As a general rule the lad at school between the ages of 13 and 16 re quires nine to ten hours sleep. Grow- ing boys need a large amount of sieep, and when this is denied them, neither their bodies nor their minds can de- yelop properly. An English authority points out this lack of hours of rest falls most heavily on the ciever boys. Women's Fashions.

PLANNING A COLONY position laid before the recent session of the Congress League looking to the establishment in the city on a scale large enough to compare well with previously engaged in by Negroes anywhere in worthy of the thought of every serious person in the race at heart. All colonization plans are based on grace aggregation, though they also involve them other elements. Opinion the formation of a Negro community, natural increase which will accrue to the value and beyond all other consequent business profits, government is by far the most important feature while this experience must follow and grow in establishment of the colony, it is the one ultimate factor of the community should seek to develop care for comparisons that will be made with other and different people. The Negro needs this experience to a competent social element in a progress but the opportunity, wisely improved, to educate faculty of government. Mixed in with and populations of white communities and municipal experience in this line is practically nothing. Our paltry benefits in present day politics in and throughout all our relationships in the naturally disgraceful, compared with the dignified out of the absolute control and government of which its people cannot be deprived. But, as a government must follow the actual establish conditions for the establishment of a Negro community most ideal. It could be made successful with a citizens of the state alone, but those conditioned persons who are now citizens of other states. Our climate, our soil, our facilities for community course with other communities, our marked country and consequent easy access to land, as to which all citizens of this state are heirs, community a great one. Care, caution, sober determination of effort and judgment and a wise ambition, fortified with patience, are the only requisite in Colorado. The proposition laid before the recent session of the Colorado State Negro Business League looking to the establishment in this state of a Negro's colony on a scale large enough to compare well with any similar attempt previously engaged in by Negroes anywhere in the United States, is worthy of the thought of every serious person who has the welfare of the race at heart. All colonization plans are based upon the principle of race aggregation, though they also involve the principle of isolation from other elements. In our opinion the formation of a Negro community is beneficial beyond the natural increase which will accrue to the value of the lands occupied, and beyond all other consequent business profits. The experience in self-government is by far the most important feature to be considered. While this experience must follow and grow up after the actual establishment of the colony, it is the one ultimate feature which every member of the community should seek to develop carefully, with due regard for comparisons that will be made with other communities composed of different people. The Negro needs this experience. No people can become a competent social element in a progressive state or nation without the opportunity, wisely improved, to educate and disseminate the faculty of government. Mixed in with and lost among the larger populations of white communities and municipalities, the Negro's experience in this line is practically nothing. Our accustomed scramble for paltry benefits in present day politics in white communities, and throughout all our relationships in the nation, however large, are really disgraceful, compared with the dignified heritage which arises out of the absolute control and government of a local community, of which its people cannot be deprived. But, as we have said, this local government must follow the actual establishment of the colony. The conditions for the establishment of a Negro colony in Colorado are almost ideal. It could be made successful with families who are already citizens of the state alone, but those conditions will appeal strongly to persons who are now citizens of other states with less advantages. Our climate, our soil, our facilities for communication and commercial intercourse with other communities, our markets, the newness of the country and consequent easy access to land, and above all, the freedom to which all citizens of this state are heirs, combine to make the opportunity a great one. Care, caution, sober determination, a sincere community of effort and judgment and a wise ambition and pride for the Negro, fortified with patience, are the only requisites for a Negro Utopia in Colorado. TO OVERTHROW SENATOR FORAKER. news already given out, it is evident that plans to among those who are supposed to be in present party machinery in that state, to eliminate Senate previous threat, from the politics of the state, will elect his successor, and although he is on, it is cautiously announced that Congress treated recently for mayor of Cleveland, but which the Washington administration, may be bad. After all his long and illustrious service, Senator Foraker is unpopular. The cause of From news already given out, it is evident that plans are formulating in Ohio among those who are supposed to be in present control of Republican party machinery in that state, to eliminate Senator Foraker, according to previous threat, from the politics of the state. The next state legislature will elect his successor, and although he is a candidate for re-election, it is cautiously announced that Congressman Burton, who was defeated recently for mayor of Cleveland, but who is a strong supporter of the Washington administration, may be backed for the senatorship. After all his long and illustrious service, it is now declared that Senator Foraker is unpopular. The cause of this unpopularity is the course which Senator Foraker pursued on behalf of the Negro soldiers discharged by the President because of the Brownsville affair. Senator Foraker bitterly opposed the course taken by the administration, and, almost alone, stood by the Negro troops throughout the long fight which established their official guilt but moral innocence. Senator Foraker's defense of the soldiers was remarkable, but perfectly consistent with his attitude toward the colored man in all his long public career. If there is a Negro in the United States who has not a heart full of the deepest gratitude for Senator Foraker because of his bold, honest and self-sacrificing course, that Negro is either pitifully ignorant or morally monstrous. We cannot believe that the Negroes of Ohio will knowingly help to make possible the announced plan of elimination. The contest over the senatorship must naturally involve the party's interests in the national campaign, but if the Negro vote is necessary to insure party success in Ohio, that vote should demand the assured consideration of Senator Foraker's return to the senate. The threat to eliminate him may be a shrewd political departure to re-engage a dissatisfied Negro constituency under a compromise by which the senator will be promised re-election, but we are of the opinion that present powers will never either forgive Senator Foraker or recede from their attitude of political sacrifice for the Negro. The Negroes of Ohio, therefore, have a difficult proposition on their hands. But they should measure their duty by their loyalty to their race. It is possible that their conduct in the campaign may largely influence that of Negro voters in other states. If to them it shall appear that Republican success in Ohio means Senator Foraker's success also, and not otherwise, it doubtless will be best to publish the impression throughout the country; for the Negro's obligation to Senator Foraker is more than ordinary. ALZAMON IRA LUCAS 1. Do you know of a family or even very intimate friends, the members of whom are adherents of two or more denominations WHERE CHRIST DWELLS IN PEACE?—not a member dominating or sacrificing? 2. Why is it that members of one church are opposed and speak so authoritatively (?) concerning the words and actions of another church member, when every leader concedes much Truth, but no one ALL the Truth, in his church? 3. I have been told that a certain Bishop has formulated about fifty (50) propositions of why a Christian should not dance. Let's say that a greater or lesser one has formulated a thousand whys, etc. I, a servant of God, Man and all Life, will proclaim from the housetops when occasion demands or as a stranger (?) within ANY gate, that "To the pure, ALL is pure"—"There is no sin in any amusement per se." 4. I do not teach nor encourage dancing, nor any other MAN-MADE RULES, who, for want of better judgment, has been, and will continue, to suppress sincere and pure desires of expression; nevertheless, so long as no one has yet met me fairly and hon- REV. DR. ALZAMON IRA LUCAS. estly as to the issue per se, I will say that only the "ignorant" do not like music and no ordinary or highly evolved temperament, but what dances with NERVE SENSATION when "ragtime" or waltz-time reaches such an one! Cannot the body also be Divinely attuned? 5. Must I, or you, stiffen, bandage and wear a false kink in our spine, or be infected with "owl-dignatitis," when God's greatest plant is at the piano in a respected Christian home, surrounded by the community's very best? 6. You have read about "Sin and Weights," and "Be not a stumbling block," also "Eat no meat, if it offend thy brother"? Do you construe such to mean that you are to forever remain in the "A. B. C." class, allowing another, by your silence or refusal, to do that which you yourself do not consider evil, because YOU have developed in Godliness? Why not lift him or her in the Spirit of and beyond such that actually degrades him? 7. When I am fully satisfied that certain non-churchmembers WILL dance, do I commit a sin or am I a stumbling block, by uniting, if necessary, with purity in judgment, thereby surrounding such soul with the best influence and word lesson for their upliftment? There is surely some way to reach THE FALLEN—condemnation does not. 8. What obligations has the church to society, and how many ministers, white or black, have or will, budge from their conceited dogmatic views concerning the life of Jesus Christ, and, all out of the same Bible, too? Better read about the "Social Service Commission" recently created by the Northern Baptist convention in Oklahoma City! In its published statement the commission asserts that: "The GREAT DUTY of the HOUR is to CARRY the CHRISTIAN IDEAL and the CHRISTIAN SPIRIT into EVERY PART of MAN'S SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND INDUSTRIAL LIFE." Lucas has been doing his best for the past eight (8) years in traveling, and twelve years before, to TEACH and LIVE the above. 9. How soon will Time bless us, through Christ, when members of different churches and ministers will actually Love one another? I answer, when confidence is not sold for personal grievances, and the spirit of: "Get out heathen dog; I don't see you praying or preaching in the old time WAY—style passes into forgetfulness." The living Christ in each will truly reign then. 10. Religion, as I understand and LIVE it, is not a creed or a dogma, only, but a life lived IN—not about and around—the highest conception through Christ, EVERY DAY. 11. My wife and I ask no one to respect us, nor will we ever be surprised or shocked by what anyone says or does; we simply ask that YOU, who have been lying about us, RESPECT YOURSELF and bear in mind: "Judge not." God has and is daily blessing us with sanity or insanity, health, happiness and a successful living. He will bless you accordingly! 12. I need no monument when death calls, because I shall DAILY LIVE the Truth I know; the Love I am and the Wisdom I am becoming, in every thought, word and deed; and oh., how glorious it will be when Christ, in God, doth appear! 13. Beloved, I do not know it all, nevertheless, I LIVE ALL I know and realize, so pray for us (wife and I) by placing your hammer in the cellar and live your OWN life! Be true to yourself, through Christ, in God! May you enter and live some, and more of you—the real, sincere, true, unshackled spirit YOU ARE—by and IN what I have been led to write to "THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND;" and, in behalf of my faithful wife, I thank Denver for all she has done for Truth's sake, through me, and return to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where we have, since June 2nd, and will continue to September 1st, to serve Humanity in our highest (and I will here say, "Cheyenne, from street urchin to mayor, ALL, both white and colored, have been very kind to us"), ever loving and willing, through the spirit of Christ, EVERY soul into the most human—Divine, PHYSICAL, MENTAL and MORAL EXPRESSION ON THIS EARTH.

Speechmaking and platform talks had no place in the minds of the huge crowd that Wednesday night attended the opening of Denver's municipal bath house, and the audience of several hundred people bolted in the middle of Alderman Hyder's speech in their haste to see the fifty-five small boys sporting in the huge pool in the basement. Hyder has just started to tell a story, but the crowd, tired of previous talks, had had enough, and with one accord and as if by preconcert agreement, the entire assembly arose to its feet and crowded towards the door leading to the swimming pool. The bath house is a model in every way. Superintendent J. J. Torpey had selected the fifty-five best swimmers from among the hundreds of boys who for the past two weeks have been swimming in the pool, and the exhibitions given by the little fellows would have done credit to far larger boys. Overhand strokes, back diving, every mode of swimming was exhibited before the crowd that passed in one door and out the other. The building has two stories and a basement. On the top floor is a huge assembly room, a reading room and shower baths and lockers. On the first floor the pool, the superintendent's room, more shower baths and lockers, and an invalids' room, besides toilet rooms for both sexes. The invalids' room is equipped with tub, lounge and medicine chest, and is for old people and the infirm. On this floor is the shelf where the bathing suits, towels and soap are given out. In the basement three sets of double washtubs are placed in a well-lighted room for the convenience of the women of the neighborhood, who can do their family washing there. The heating plant completes the basement. The rules and regulations of the new building are simple but thorough. Some of the most interesting are as follows: Baths open daily; admission free, but may be refused for police or sanitary reasons. Women and girls have Tuesdays from 1 till 9 p. m., Thursday from 1 to 5:30. Men and boys., Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1 to 9 p. m., Sunday and holidays from 8 till 12 noon, and on Thursday from 6 p. m. to 9. Boys and girls under 14 admitted only from 1 p. m. to 6 p. m. No admission for anyone after 8:30 p. m. on week days and 11:30 a. m. on Sunday. Every person using the pool must first take a shower bath. No money can be paid by bathers, or accepted by attendants, and attendants accepting pay will be dismissed. No noisy language or profanity will be permitted. No smoking will be allowed. The bath tubs are for the use of the invalids and infirm only; all others must use the showers.—The News.

M. Lee and son of Helena, Montana, were the guests in Denver last week and while here they were royally en- tertained at the residence of Mrs. Greenleaf of 2252 Cleveland place last Saturday night.

Foster ‘The house was yery tastefully decor: ated for the occasion and the delica. cies served were of the best, A late hour found the guests bidding each other adieu, and wishing to again meet ‘on such an occasion. Perhaps one of the most Negroes ‘that atended the Democratic conven- tion was Stanley Mills of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, who was here in charge of a delegation of millionaires from the Keystone state, While here he met a number of our prominent citizens, but among those that’ proved to be the “real thing” in his estimation was H. J. Foster and William Slade, whom the gentleman from the East hailed with fraternal greetings. It was a royal meeting and the two proceeded to the hotel where the headquarters of the aforesaid delegation was located and there, together with a number of the delegates a few taps were made on some excellent wet goods and more than—-well, a long time—a jolly good time was the result. The event was one that proved a happy meeting and a tle of friendship that binds together the East and West—at least as far as the parties concerned, In speaking of Mr. Mills, the Denver boys say he is as sharp as a sharp tack, both in fraternal as well as current issues.

To all of those who had heard the Y.M. C. A. in their 4 o'clock services in large cities and who have seen men stand up for Christ and from that time ‘on become manly, true-hearted and val- uable pieces of timber in the commun ity, Sunday afternoon was but a slight reminiscence of that meeting. The soul-stirring song service was there with all of its fervor and joy and men sang out as never before, as if they were yearning for some one to awaken and start just such a movement. After Rey. Ward stated the purpose of the meeting Denver's Y. M. C. A. secretary dwelt at length on the “Breaking of Home Ties,” which made every young man present, especially those who had broken home ties in reality and who re membered mother’s last kiss, her last look as he left her humble door to go out into the world to become a man. and who had received the Bible as her best and precious gift, feel and recall those lasting and touching scenes ot his life. Nearly every represen tative young man was out, together with middle-aged and old men, who were there to mingle their voices in song and praise of the Master. A neat collection was taken and nearly sixty person's names were handed in for membership. By the time the commit tee appointed to look after the organi- zation notified the public of the next meeting, the list shall have swollen to 300 members. ‘The ladies were present, assisting in the meeting and made themselyes a valuable asset to the meeting.

Each life should become conscious of its own individuality and respon sibility, and poisé itself on its own standing-ground. When a woman has earned that the center of the universe for her is where she stands, and has fully realized this idea of the central thought of being, she will comprehend that she can get no further than her own limitations, and must be con- trolled more or less by her own en: vironment.

COMRADE ESCAPES NOTEBOOK SHOWS INDICATIONS OF PLAN TO ROB WALSH Denver.—The Times Thursday night says: In the killing of a fleeing highwayman this morning by a patrolman, Wolhurst, the country home of Thomas F. Walsh, probably was prevented from being looted. Indeed, the police believe that Alice Roosevelt Longworth was one of those whom the desperado planned to rob. This belief is based on a notebook found on the dead man's person. In this book are the names of the guests of the Walshes during the Democratic convention. Copious memoranda also had been made of the addresses of wealthy Denver men and their night habits. These notes, the police feel certain, were to guide the man and his companion, who escaped during the shooting, in their robberies. That the memoranda had borne fruit was shown, the police say, in a holdup last night by the man who was shot. Frank Campbell, a policeman on Laramer street, was the slayer. William McMulkin, a crook of national notoriety, was the victim. The shooting took place at Eighteenth and Lawrence streets at 11 o'clock. The shooting was accidental. Death was almost instantaneous. McMulkin was shot while resisting arrest. When Campbell attempted to take him into custody he ran. Campbell pulled a gun to frighten him. McMulkin ran on. The policeman ordered him to stop and started to fire into the ground. Just then Campbell stumbled over a wagon tongue projecting across the sidewalk, the revolver shot up and the bullet was discharged into the fleeing man's shoulder. McMulkin was carried into the Keystone livery stable and died a few moments later. The police are positive that McMulkin was a crook. He was about to be arrested on a charge of a bold holdup of F. L. Everett of 1800 East Colfax avenue. Everett identified McMulkin unhestatingly. The dead man was also identified as a man who robbed the home of H. C. Abbott, 1600 Downing avenue, of $125, a few nights ago. Entries in McMulkin's diary show that he started to work at Wolhurst June 30th and he was employed in the kitchen. His diary speaks of banquets and distinguished visitors. The police are practically certain that the dead man was being used as a tool to secure information which would enable the gang to loot Wolhurst at its leisure. McMulkin's home was in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This address is borne out by a diary found in his pocket, in which he said that he had Portsmouth about three years and a half ago. The diary shows that he wandered around various eastern cities, coming to Colorado about three months ago. For several weeks he was employed at the Phipps sanitarium at Montclair, according to the diary. On June 12th he went to work at St. Luke's hospital, remaining for about two weeks. On June 20th the diary says: "I went to work for Millionaire Walsh. It is a peach of a place out here. Mayor Speer and a lot of big-bugs from Denver were out and one of them gave me a bottle of champagne." Aside from being positively identified by F. L. Everett as one of the men who held him up, McMulkin was identified by both Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Abbott, 1600 Downing street. The Abbottos declared that the dead man, with his pal, appeared at their home about 9 o'clock last Monday morning. While McMulkin stood at a side door and kept Mrs. Abbott engaged in conversation the other fellow entered the house through the front door, riffed a bureau drawer and stole $125 in cash and a check for $10. Injured by Lightning. Colorado Springs.—The Rev. James Mailley, pastor of the First Christian church of this city, was struck by lightning and seriously injured while walking with his son and three girls, tourists from Auburn, Nebraska, on Cameron's Cone, near Manitou Tuesday morning. Mailley's clothes and high boots were stripped from his body, and his gold chain and the gold on his eyeglasses were melted. His son, L. Ward Mailley, carried his 210-pound father down a tortuous path to a Pike's Peak cog road train four miles distant, and the injured man was carried to Manitou. The three girls, who were temporarily paralyzed, are none the worse for their experience. Mailley came here last March from Greenburg, Indiana. Robert Davis, a resident of North Park, arrived in Boulder Saturday, having made a 110-mile tramp across the mountains in a little over three days. Mr. Davis is eighty-four years old but suffered no ill effects from the trip and was on the streets as sprightly as ever. John Esch of Colorado Springs has secured the contract for the construction of B. C. Allen's magnificent Broadmoor residence. The house will cost $100,000 and the barn, garage and stone fence will cose $70,000 additional. COLORADO NEWS Forest Fires near Lake Eldora on the Moffat road have destroyed much valuable timber. There was a very heavy rain and hail storm at Colorado Springs on the afternoon of July 18th. Steps are being taken to form a Farmers' union at Fort Morgan. This organization is backing an independent sugar factory for North Fort Morgan. City free delivery will be established at Salida October 15th, with three regular carriers and one substitute, and twenty-four letter boxes are to be installed. The cornerstone of the new Jewish temple at Pueblo was laid on Sunday, the 18th inst. The honor of laying the stone was sold at auction and went to M. Edelstein. County Surveyor Youngquist of Morgan county has just completed a map of the county, giving all the irrigation districts, as well as those which are contemplated. The following new postmasters have been appointed: Stratton, Kit Carson county, Joseph A. Smith, vice W. R. Smith, resigned; Sugar City, Otero county, Thomas W. Butler, vice W. F. Tarpox, resigned. Street signs and house numbers are being placed at Fort Morgan and a large force is at work on cement crossings. In a few days the council hopes to be able to meet the requirements for free city delivery of mail. Nathaniel Lyons post, Grand Army of the Republic, and the Woman's Relief corps of Boulder, will hold their annual picnic at Glacier lake, August 4. The customary invitation to Confederate veterans has been extended, and many of them will participate. Professor Ellsworth Bethel, botanist of the State Historical society, returned to Denver recently from Middle park with a large assortment of Colorado wild flowers. He has them labeled and on exhibition at the state house for the tourists who are visitors there daily. The state school fund, amounting to $149,689 for the past six months, has been apportioned pro rata to the several counties of the state. The total number of school children in the state is 207,573, against 200,411 six months ago. Nearly 1,000 of the increase is shown in the city of Denver. The will of Henry Schneider, a pioneer brewer of southern Colorado, was probated at Trinidad July 22nd. The value of his property is fixed at $175,000, of which $1,700 has already been paid to the state in the form of an inheritance tax. The remainder of the property is left equally to his three children. The state game and fish commissioner's office has recently stocked streams and lakes in Middle park with 300,000 trout and will distribute about 700,000 more young trout before the end of the year in the Grand river at Hot Sulphur Springs and in the Frazier river and Grand lake. Pumpkin Pie Day will be celebrated in Longmont this year on August 13th. The ladies of Longmont will make 12,000 pies, and with the pies will be 30,000 sandwiches and seventy-five barrels of coffee. With the festival proper will be an industrial parade in which the farming interests will be represented. In the evening there will be fireworks and a masked carnival. Approximately $8,000 will be collected by the state treasurer as the inheritance tax levied on the estate of the late-Susan E. Crowell, of Colorado Springs. Most of the estate was bequeathed to Irving Howbert and he will be called upon to pay the tax. The estate amounted to something over $160,000. The state collects at the rate of six per cent. David H. Moffat sailed from Europe July 21st on his return trip after a brief visit to his daughter, Mrs. J. A. McClurg, and his grand-daughter, Miss Marjorie, in Paris. The date of his sailing also chanced to mark his sixtyninth birthday, and his relatives and friends in Colorado kept the telegraph and cable companies busy conveying to Mr. Moffat their messages of congratulation. A black coyote, the first of the kind known, is attracting much attention on the ranch of A. L. Camp, Jr., near Greeley. It is now three months old, has the run of the place and is quite tame. It was found in a litter of young coyotes, but the others were of the ordinary color. The black coyote differs from the others in no way except in color. It has been named "Mascot." Under the direction of Boulevard Expert George E. Kessler, Mayor Speer is arranging for experiments to be made on Denver streets for a solution of the dust problem through the use of residium oil, on the plan successfully carried out in Kansas City and other large places. The Inland Oil Company of Boulder has consented to give gratis sufficient oil to afford tests on five blocks. Good progress is being made in the big dam of the Eastern Colorado Power Company at Barker Meadows, a mile below Nederland, in Boulder county. Two 70-ton steam shovels are employed excavating for the dam foundations and four locomotives with dump cars are engaged in carrying away the earth. The dam is to be of solid concrete, 230 feet wide at the base and 176 feet high and will empound over 500,000,000 cubic feet of water. Thirty-five men were put to work July 22nd at Pueblo as car repairers by the Denver & Rio Grande, bringing the force up to 105 men, which is as large as that employed before the big cut was made all over the system. The men will work on heavy car repairs, in the attempt to get many cars now on storage tracks back into service. Heavy rain fell in nearly all sections of Morgan and Logan counties on Saturday, the 18th inst. Thursday afternoon is set apart as a half holiday by the business men of Greeley during July and August. S&H GARMENT STORE @25-16TH ST. - OPR.

Denver, Colo Denver, Colorado The things that "might have been" are naught But shadows of the past so gray. Let's tell about the fish in the right Her Looks Sufficient. Mr. Buggins (whose better half is not renowned for her beauty)—I've just bought a hundred dollar bulldog for my wife to take along for her protection when she goes out walking. Mr. Blunt—Huh! Why not let her go without a veil and save all that expense? The Usual Reason The Rev. Sydney Goodman—his Men's church at Atlantic City, with its smoking congregations and its moving pictures, has already brought out many imitators—is noted for the brilliance and originality of his sermons, of his sermons. "Even in a begging sermon," said a member of the Men's church, "Mr. Goodman can amuse. He began a recent begging sermon in this manner: "‘A deacon said to the minister's wife: "‘Why is your husband always asking for money, money, money?’ "‘The minister's wife sighed. "‘I suppose it is because you never give him any,’ she said.’" Something Stronger. Pat: "Sir? Ye nivever heard o' th' big wind in Ireland? Begobbs, mon, yr' wan in tin thousand! Thot wind blew iveryting lengthways, sideways—hic— idgeways, shortures; sure—hic it was th' strongest thing as ivver blew against a mon!" The Listener: "There is something stronger, Pat." Pat: "Tell me what, now! Phat is stronger?" The Listener: "Your breath!" Wheels. "The thing I am working at now," he began, stroking his thin beard with a thinner hand, "will be a boon to every family and will startle the whole world. In fact, it will put the alarm clock trust out of business. The idea is simply specially prepared tablets that help you to get up in the morning. For instance, if you want to arise at 5, you take five tablets; if you want to get up at 6, take six tablets, and so on." "But how will it affect the alarm clock trust?" "Why these tablets will cause a ringing in the ears at exactly the hour desired——" "But the little crowd could wait to hear no more and hurriedly disbanded.—Harper's Weekly." A Few Years Hence. Mrs. Knickerbocker (boastfully)—My ancestors came over on the Mayflower. Mrs. Van Scadds (pityingly)—Too bad, so slow and such wretched accommodations, too!

Being of an inquiring turn of mind the youngster one day managed to turn on both faucets in the bathtub to see what would happen. It chanced that the stopper was in place, and the tub rapidly filled up, to the great delight of Bobby. Finally, however, the tub became so full that it threatened to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby, having a proper respect for the maternal slipper, became frightened and tried vainly to turn off the water. Being unable to, for some reason, he gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood, and then, mindful both of his religious training and the occasional visits of the plumber, he plunged down on his knees, and his elder sister, who happened to be passing at the moment, heard him exclaim, fervently: "O, Lord, please stop this water running! And, O, Lord, if you can't do it, please send somebody that can!" His prayer was answered, for his sister rose to the occasion and turned off the water and temporarily saved Bobby from the much-feared slapper. ONE ON THE DOCTOR. St. Peter's Query Decided Reflection on Medical Attendant. Dr. Arthur T. Holbrook told a story on his profession. "A man by the name of Evans died," he said, "and went to heaven, of course. When he arrived at the pearly gates he said to St. Peter: "Well, I'm here." "St. Peter looked at him and asked his name. John Evans," was the reply. "St. Peter looked through his book, and shook his head. "You don't belong here," he said, pointing to the exit. "But I am sure I belong here," said the man. "Wait a minute," said St. Peter. "He looked again and in the back of the book found his name. "Sure," said the guardian of the gate, 'you belong here. But you wasn't expected for 20 years. Who's your doctor?' "—Milwaukee Free Press. A Woman's Duty. The woman of taste keeps abreast of the fashions in a way—that is, she drops wormout styles and adopts whatever new ones she can adapt to her use. If she can afford it she patronizes first-class dressmakers and gets her money's worth by wearing her clothes two or three seasons without losing her prestige as a well-dressed woman. There is an advantage in this method, as you can see, and I have been told by women who use it that there is economy as well. It is no economy to save at the expense of good looks. It is a woman's duty to look her best, a duty she owes to her family. If she can secure it by a small expenditure, so much the better, but to save by accepting shabbiness, is not creditable save in dire stress of circumstances. Poverty is an excuse for shabbiness and nothing else is accepted by the world, save in the rare cases of shabby millionaires. —Chicago Journal. The Duchess' Philosophy The old duchess of Cleveland invited a relative to her husband's funeral and told him to bring his gun adding: "We are old, we must die; but the pheasants must be shot." DROPPED COFFEE Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum. A physician of Wash., D. C., says of his coffee experience: "For years I suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes I was almost frantic. I was sallow, constipated, irritable, sleepless; my memory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused. "My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave. "Finally Wife bought a package of Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. (I make this emphatic because I fear many others have had the same experience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the directions, made it right, boiled it full 15 minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, I liked it—it invigorated and seemed to nourish me. "This was about a year ago. Now I have no headaches, am not sallow, sleeplessness and irritability are gone, my brain clear and my head steady. I have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new man. "I do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing, but I had dropped it before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose. "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates and albumens. This is no imaginary tale. It can be substantiated by my wife and her sister, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women of about 70. "I write this for the information and encouragement of others, and with a feeling of gratitude to the inventor of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WOMAN'S REALM HOSTESS AND GUEST LITTLE THINGS THAT MAR PLEAS URE OF A VISIT. Exercise of a Little Tact and Thoughtfulness Can Make Sojourn at Friend's Home a Time of Delight for Both. When people are constantly abusing hospitality one ceases to desire any one except the immediate family under the rooftree. Guests seem to have such capacities for arriving at the wrong time, for causing so much extra trouble, for upsetting the household arrangements, for requiring such constant care and attention that their victims often wish they would arrange to put up at a hotel, and only come to visit between meals. If one is the possessor of a house in the suburbs or of a cottage by the seaside, one is overrun by visitors from any part of the country. If they have at any time shown counter hospitality one feels that one must smile and make the best of it, but if they are merely trading upon relationship or a more or less close friendship then indeed does one rebel. Some may say that this feeling is all wrong. One ought to be only too glad to entertain friends. But put yourself in the position of a woman who, besides having the care of several children, does the greater part of her work herself. It is not joyful for her to receive a letter from an old school friend saying she would like to run down for a day or two to talk over old times—the recipient knowing perfectly well that a day or two means a week. It is not a clever jest, by any means, for a woman to drive up unexpectedly with a huge trunk with the intention Designs Show Much Less Elaboration Than in Former Years. New models in children's summer coats and wraps are decidedly smart and practical, for plain styles largely prevail. Among those fashioned from cloth the designs are simple, and the heavier white goods, or even sheer fabrics, show less elaboration than in former years. For instance, the jaunty box coat covering the dress and closing double breasted is the most popular model for everyday or general wear, though the graceful little wraps made on empire lines are a temptation when in a child's size. In materials the light weight tweeds are favored, and nothing is smarter than the small black and white shepherd's plaid. Plain cloths in light weight are also fashioned in box styles, but as a rule this fabric is reserved for the more dressy coats. The Sicilians and mohairs, both plain and checked, will be used during warm weather. There is nothing at the price that wears so well, for it sheds the dust quickly and soils are easily rubbed or sponged off. Slips for Couch Pillows. Practical pillow slips are made of flowered chintz which are bound in solid color and furnished at one side with buttons and buttonholes or buttooned loops and tapes. Into these are slipped the couch or hammock pillows in use during warm weather, making them cool to the touch and leaving no excuse for them to be other than fresh and clean—the chintz being washable. Arrangement That Will Keep Foot wear in Proper Condition. A better application of the hackneyed proverb, "A place for everything, and everything in its place," could not be made than when used in reference to shoes that are, for the time being, not required. To arrange a place for them, and especially so if there should be many, is a necessity and our sketch illustrates a capital way of doing this. The "cabinet" may be constructed from any strong wooden box or packing-case, of a suitable size, and the lid of recuperating at the seashore for a week or two at the cottage of a woman she has perhaps not seen for a year or so. It is no excuse to say that the poor victim is possessed of a sufficient number of maids, and of children that are beyond the nursery stage. The household arrangements must be altered just the same, extra trouble must be undertaken, and the whole establishment thrown into a flurry to meet the unexpected contingency. Every guest should take note of these conditions: Even if a bona fide invitation has been received, do not permit any amount of coaxing to persuade you to stay longer than a week, unless an invitation for a longer time has been given. If no length is set for your visit, then it would be wise to stay not longer than a few days, but you will generally find your hostess will mention in her invitation the period of time you are expected to remain. When you arrive, either endeavor to efface yourself as much as possible, or else to slide into the household grooves so easily that your presence will hardly be felt. Try to like what is served upon the family table, and do not expect that extra dainties, or dishes perhaps strange to the cook, will be prepared for you. Your hostess must have time to herself, in which to attend to her household duties, so either make a little diplomatic excuse about letters to write or a novel in which you are very much interested, or a friend who will be quite hurt if you do not call upon her. By the exercise of a little tact, and the bearing in mind of the old and time-honored saying, "Do as you would be done by," you may make your visit such a delight that they will be sincerely sorry to see you go, and really anxious to have you come again. That is the test of being a good guest. TUCKS AND FEATHERSTITCHING. ```markdown ``` There is no daintier finish for a baby, dress than tiny tucks and feather-stitching. Two illustrations are given here which can be easily carried out in featherstitching and are very effective. The circles can be drawn around a five-cent piece, and if smaller circles are desired use a ten-cent piece or a small button. The work should be done with fine cotton and the stitches made small and even. may be dispensed with. The box stands on one side and bars of wood are fixed across the interior in the manner shown. This is easily done, the bars of wood are carefully cut to fit, and nails run through from the outside of the case to hold them in their places. The heels of the shoes rest over the upper bars, and the toes on the lower, a much better plan than placing the shoes on the floor if they should happen to be damp, as the sores are exposed to the air and dry much more quickly than they would on a shelf or the ground. A curtain made of some pretty piece of drapery can be tacked to the upper edge of the box, and while hiding the contents from view, it is easily lifted when any of the boots or shoes are required. The sides also may be draped, and a pot with a fern or other ornaments may find a place on the top. How to Clean a Fam To clean a fan place it in a dish and cover with gasoline. Do not attempt to rub the material. Press tightly until the dirt comes out. After freeing it from dust and all blemishes, put it into clean gasoline in which there is a drop of bluing. Spread the fan out on a piece of white cloth, pin the two points to stretch the material, and let it dry. After it has thoroughly dried, cover with talcum powder, highly scented, and leave for one day. This destroys the odor of gasoline and makes the fan as beautiful as new. Hope Abandoned After Physicians Consultation. Mrs. Enos Shearer, Yew and Washington Sts., Centralia, Wash., says: "For years I was weak and run down, could not sleep, my limbs swelled and the secretions were troublesome; pains were intense. I was fast in bed for four months. Three doctors said there was "For years I was weak and run down, could not sleep, my limbs swelled and the secretions were troublesome; pains were intense. I was fast in bed for four months. Three doctors said there was no cure for me, and I was given up to die. Being urged, I used Doan's Kidney Pills. Soon I was better, and in a few weeks was about the house, well and strong again." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. The Vital Point. Judge Gillette was one of the most dignified of old-fashioned jurists. One day he was holding court at a county-seat in a rather out-of-the-main-road county, when a violent hubbub in the hallway interrupted proceedings in the court-room. After quieting the disturbance, the sheriff returned to report to the judge. "It was two men fighting," explained the official. "Danny Flannigan and Jake Jenkins, tough characters about town. I have put them under arrest." And he waited, expecting that the magistrate would order both offenders to be brought into his presence and committed for contempt. What was the sheriff's astonishment, therefore, when the judge beckoned him to the desk, and bending down, said in a confidential whisper: "Which licked?"—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and Disease Spread All Over Body —Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura. "One day we noticed that our little boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being so good for itching sores. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. I purchased a box of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took the Cuticura Ointment and anointed him with it. I did this every evening and in four nights he was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Donahue, 208 Fremont St., Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 16, 1907." The Candy Girl. He was one of those sentimental chaps who imagine the only way to capture a girl's heart is to send her volumes of poetry. Selecting a book of seasonable verse he sent it to his lady fair with the following scribbled on the fly-leaf: "Dearest, as I seek your heart, A book of verse I do impart!" And the pretty but sensible girl, who did not care a rap if Shakespeare had been a pirate instead of a poet, returned the verses with the following lines: "To the woods with this sludge. If my heart you'd really budge, Send me up a pound of fudge." Making It Sure. The lawyer was drawing up Enpeck's will. "I hereby bequeath all my property to my wife," dictated Enpeck. "Got that down?" "Yes," answered the attorney. "Yes," answered the attorney. "On condition," continued Enpeck, "that she marries within a year." "But why that condition?" asked the man of law. "Because," answered the meek and lowly testator, "I want somebody to be sorry that I died. See?" Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
