Denver Bus Before another issue of THE COLORADO STATESMAN, the day set apart by the president, to return thanks to our Heavenly Father for the bountiful yield of the fields, will have passed. We cannot pass this opportunity of saying just a few words directly to our people. The COLORADO STATESMAN is particularly the organ of the Negroes of the Rocky Mountain district. Whatever interest the Negroes and contributes to their welfare and development, interest the management of this paper. We, therefore, take this opportunity to thank our many subscribers and friends for the very substantial increase in our business and able manner in which they have responded to our appeals. The season and year now fast closing has been one of remarkable material increase. The harvest has been bountiful and the price of goods on the market will bring a golden shower of blessing to the nation. From this shower the Negro will receive his portion. During the past few years the number of Negroes engaged in business, and in agriculture has greatly increased. Out here on the ledge of the Rocky Mountain dusky farmers are working side by side with the white man to make the earth bring forth its fruit. So marked has been the success of this work that Colorado farm products today are equalling her mineral output. In this we as a people have much to be thankful. We are thankful that the year has seen a very substantial increase in the number of Negro farmers, fruit and cattle raisers. This initial success is but the entering wedge to greater achievements. There is room in this state for many thousand Negro farmers. Thousands of acres of land will be reclaimed through irrigation. Here is the chance. The Negroes who have settled in this state and have ground out a modierum of success should urge their friends to come and share the rich harvests. Then there is another point not to be overlooked in returning thanks for material blessings. Our people live in all the larger cities of the state and in many of the smaller towns. Reports from these places indicate a larger number of State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ved by Patr COLOR E THANKS ful. Material Increase Own Your Homes. biness Men. home buyers. There have been more homes purchased by Negroes during the past year, than at any other period of the state's history. The race has increased its tax paying capacity more than fifty per cent. This is especially gratifying to the COLORADO STATESMAN. We have always urged the purchasing of homes. A home of your own be it ever so humble lends a dignity and selfrespect to you that a rental of the finest palace in the land will not. Then the ownership of property makes a more responsible people. It will soon eliminate from our lives the dive, the brothel, the crap shooting gambler, and the lewd woman, all sitting in the way of race progress. We believe all Negroes of Colorado join with us in returning thanks for such manifold blessings of God. The increased number of churches out of debt, the better attended Sabbath schools and the greater number of children in the public schools, are all things for which we are thankful. And again we are thankful that the closing year has seen more cordial and closer relations between the better classes of both races. "How good, and how pleasant it is for brethren to live together in peace," sings the Islamist. The fullness of this is found here on the roof of the world. The world is better for the example. Let us give thanks. The world is happy. The merchants of Denver are preparing for an extensive holiday trade. This paper carries advertising for all the leading business firms. Watch our columns for the good things offered by the merchants. PUEBLO PEBBLES Business prospects looks good in Pueblo which is very encouraging for the citizens. W. Burns of Chicago was in the city this week, from a trip through Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Mrs. Robert Small who has been suffering with quinzy is much improved to the delight of her many friends. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21. 1908. Wm. Hunt who shot and seriously wounded Mr. Bruster a short time ago has had his preliminary hearing and is out on bonds awaiting trial in the District Court. J. Key of Oklahoma, was a guest at the Porters and Waiters Dining Room last week. He is one of Oklahoma's wealthiest Negroes being quoted at a low estimate of $75,000. He was here looking over the field in view of starting a Dry Goods and Mercantile store. Among those who registered at the Porters and Waiters Dining Room this week were, Andrew Riley, Alamosa; H. J. Chatman, St. Louis; W. M. Vaughn, Knoxville, Tenn; W. E. Cross, Kansas City; J. Morrison, S A. Wilson; J. E. Williams, Boston; G. Bur bridge, J. H. Cognell, Chicago. The many friends and patrons of Miss Josie Mosley of the Porters and Waiters Dining Room of 300 Victoria avenue, will be sorry to learn that she intends to sell out her business and go East. Miss Mosley has built up a luxurious business second to none in the little "Pittsburg" of the West and it will be a bargain to who ever may purchase it. MUST SERVE NEGRO PATRONS Washington, D. C., Nov. 10. Either the white restaurant keepers of this city will have to hereafter charge all Negroes who apply for something to eat and drink about $2.50 for a cup of coffee, $4 for a ham sandwich and $4.10 for a piece of pie, or serve the darkskinned customers against their will. Such a situation has been brought about by a decision rendered last week by Corporation Counsel Thomas, who held that hereafter hotels, cafes, ice cream parlor, places where soda water is sold and barber shops in the District of Columbia will be compelled to serve colored persons in the same room and at the same price as white peepele. Many of the hotel managers, anticipating colored patronage in view of Corporation Counsel Thomas decision, have already arranged a schedule of prices for their prospective colored patrons, despite the declaration of the corporation counsel that there should be no discrimination made in prices. The spectacle of a Negio walking into the Willard Hotel here and paying $12.43 for a steak is not unlikely, and some amusing scenes are also due to be enacted at some of the swell soda fountains. The Civil Rights Act of forty years ago is still in full force and effect, but nobody pays the slightest attention to it. All the veneering of politeness in refusing the trade of Negroes has gradually worn off, until all the fashionable places merely announce to the intending customer of color that Negroes are not served. In the future the old plan must be restored and undersirable patrons driven away by charging prohibitive prices. Dr. Robert W. Brown started the trouble by writing a letter to the President in which he asserts discrimination because of color in the lunch room of the new $20,000 000 Union Station. Dr. Brown declares he represents 90,000 colored people in the District, as well as the sentiment of all the colored people in the country in characterizing as an outrage "this injustice perpetrated on a helpless people, and in the shadow of the Capitol of this great and glorious nation." Corporation Counsel Thomas says there appears to be applicable to the situation the act of June 30 1872, which provides that proprietors in case of refusal to sell to or wait upon any respectable, well-be haved person, without regard to race, color, or previous condition of servitude, shall be deemed guilty. Notes of Racial Progress. The disadvantages under which Negro mechanics in the large cities of the North have to work has led R. R Wright, the Negro sociologist, to lead in the organization of the Negro mechanics of Philadelphia. The purpose of the movement is to secure to the skilled Negro laborers the same pay and opportunity for work enjoyed by white laborers. Mr. Wright has succeeded in interesting several influential white citizens of the city in the effort. Organized efforts of this character in other Northern cities would mean much to the hundreds of Negro mechanics who go from the South to these cities, but find it impossible to pursue their trades on account of the white labor unions. That the Negro fraternal organization are realizing their opportunity is evidenced by the many efforts on their part lately to invest their means in buildings and businesses that are a credit to the race. At Jacksonville, Fla., the Masons are about to erect a $100,000 building to be called the Masonic Temple. The building, which will be constructed of stone and steel, will be modern in every respect.—New York Age. The Republicans of Logan county, Oklahoma came accross with old Republicanism and put a colored man in the legislature, Mr. A. C. Hamlin. The National Association of Colored Woman, though but three years old, has, it is said, in eight Southern States alone 167 clubs. Its entire membership is estimated to be 50,000. Mrs. Matilda Moore, a colored lady of Lockhart, Texas, has filed suit against the M. K & T. railroad for $22,410, for killing her husband, Marvin Moore, on June 19, at Dale, Texas. Two colored men were elected to responsible positions at the November election in Chicago. Frank Leland for County Commissioner and Dr. Lane was re-elected to the State Legislature. Mound Bayou, Miss., Nov. 9.—This city, which is made up exclusively of Negroes, gave Taft one hundred votes and Bryan one at the election of Tuesday week. An effort is being made to ascertain who voted for Bryan. The People's Choral Club of Philadelphia gave Mme E. Azalia Hackley a "testimonial" Thursday evening, November 12th and presented her with a purse of $100.00 and showered her with flowers. It was quite a surprise to Mrs. Hackley, as she had no idea of receiving any such demonstration. The members of the club thoroughly appreciate her worth and work. Margaret Davis, a young colored girl, showed such proficiency in the German language while in the schools of Cincinnati that she has been sent to the German-American Seminary in Milwaukee, Wis., to pursue courses there that will equip her to teach German in the public schools of the city effected the arrangements by which she is to receive this more extended training. Recent decisions in favor of Negroes complaining about unlawful discriminations in the part of railroads in the South have emboldened others to lodge complaints. Now complaint has been made about the accommodations accorded Negroes traveling from Kansas to Oklahoma, Texas and other States. According to the OklahomaGuide, a specific case at Guthrie Okla, has been called to the atten- NO.9 tion of the Presideut. Instructions have been issued that a careful investigation be made and that prosecutions be instituted in event of any violation of federal law. El Liberal, one of the newspapers of Havana, Cuba, announces an architectural competition recently held there for the privilege of designing a Leper Hospital, and that Delfin Valdes, who graduated here in May of the present year, was successful in having his plans accepted. Valdes came to Tuskegee a number of years ago as a very young student and was successfully promoted from year to year. He was one of the brightest of architectural students, and we congratulate him upon his success in having his plans accepted for this important building. York, Pa. Nov. S.—Congressman D. F. Lafean announces that he will introduce at the next session of the House a bill providing for the construction of a roadway, reaching from Washington to the battle field at Gettysburg. The road would cost the Government $7,000,000, and it is proposed to make it a national memorial to Abraham Lincoln, in celebration of his one hundredth birthday anniversary. Mr. Lafean says the proposed boulevard meets with the approval of President Roosevelt, the Lincoln Memorial Association and scores of Congressmen. Separate Schools Legal. Washington, November 9.—In deciding the case of Berea College versus the State of Kentucky, favorably to the state, the Supreme Court of the United States to-day held that the states of the Union may constitutionally legislate to prevent the co education of the white and black races. The case was instituted to test the validity of the state law of 1904 prohibiting white and black children attending the same schools. The higher state court took the position that the white and black races are naturally antagonistic, and the enforced separation of the children of the two is in the line of the preservation of the peace. The opinion of the Supreme Court was handed down by Justice Brewer and affirmed the funding of both the Kentucky Circuit Court and the Court of Appeals. Justice Harlan and Day dissented. Justice Brewer's opinion dealt entirely with corporations as affected by the Kentucky statute, and did not consider the question of its applicability to individuals. Proceeding upon the theory that a state has complete control over corporations as its own creations, he then construed the law of 1904 as in effect an amendment to the charter of Berea College The Leading Educational Institution for Negroes in the West.

Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. A HINT TO GOLFERS.

Many a talented person is kept back because of the interference of coffee with the nourishment of the body. This is especially so with those whose nerves are very sensitive, as is often the case with talented persons. There is a simple, easy way to get rid of coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's experience along these lines is worth considering. She says: "Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun. "There was scarcely anything I could eat that would agree with me. The little I did eat seemed to give me more trouble than it was worth. I finally quit coffee and drank hot water, but there was so little food I could digest, I was literally starving; was so weak I could not sit up long at a time. "It was then a friend brought me a hot cup of Postum. I drank part of it and after an hour I felt as though I had had something to eat — felt strengthened. That was about five years ago, and after continuing Postum in place of coffee and gradually getting stronger, to-day I can eat and digest anything I want, walk as much as I want. My nerves are steady. "I believe the first thing that did me any good and gave me an upward start, was Postum, and I use it altogether now instead of coffee." "There's a Reason."

TO FIGHT INJUNCTIONS WILL STRIVE TO HAVE AN ANTI- INJUNCTION LAW PASSED BY NEXT CONGRESS. Denver.—Following, in brief, are the decisions reached by the American Federation of Labor at its session Thursday: That the political actions of President Gompers and the executive council during the recent presidential campaign be indorsed most heartily. That efforts be made to unify the union labor vote so that it will be the balance of power in all political conventions and elections, and union labor can control the nominations of governors, legislators, a portion of the judiciary and a number of the congressmen. That Daniel J. Keefe, a member of the executive council who refused to follow the political lead of the other members of the council, or any other officer of the federation, who refuses to abide by the majority rule, be asked forthwith to resign. That the federation go on record as ravoring political participation by organized labor as a body, and that some definite political plan be outlined. That trades unionists generally defend themselves and their unions against injunction suits of all kinds, but not disregard entirely the rulings of courts where injunctions are involved. That efforts be made to have an anti-injunction bill introduced into Congress, so that labor bodies will not be amenable to the Sherman anti-trust law, and so as to make it impossible for courts to issue injunctions against labor organizations where personal rights and liberties are involved. Chinese Rulers Not Poisoned. Pekin.-The various foreign legations, in attempting to determine the causes of the death of the Emperor and the Dowager Empress, have abandoned the poison theory and have concluded that the symptoms of the Emperor indicate that death resulted from neurasthenia and cardiac weaknesses, together with ear complications. The last illness of the Dowager Empress dated from November 1st. That day the court was terrified by an outburst of uncontrolled temper from her majesty. November 12th she suffered a paralytic stroke upon being informed of the precarious condition of the Emperor. Cobless Corn Propagated. Bloomington, Ill.—A year ago H. J. Sconce and Taylor Garlough of Vermillion county, purchased a quantity of seed corn in Indiana. In the shipment was a freak ear which, instead of the ordinary cob, had a core of husk, the grains being neatly wrapped on the soft foundation, like peas in a pod. Mr. Sconce was impressed with the novelty of the find and decided to plant all the kernels found on the freak ear. To his surprise, the ears produced were found to be exact reproductions of the single ear. Panama Canal Bond Issue. Washington.—Secretary Cortelyou Wednesday made public announcement that he would receive bids up to the close of business December 5th next for $30,000,000 Panama canal bonds or any part thereof to bear 2 per cent interest. The bonds will be dated November 1, 1908, thus making this a new issue, and interest will begin as of that date. The bonds, by the terms of the law authorizing their issue, will be redeemable in gold in ten years from their date, and payable in thirty years. New Western Railway Outlet. Denver.—It is stated in connection with its annual report just issued that the rails of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad will be into Seattle and Tacoma some time in January, and that traffic to the Pacific will be operated on this line in the early spring. This is important in view of the purpose of the proposed extension of the Colorado & Southern to run solid sleeper trains from present northern terminus, to Forsythe, Mont., where it will connect with the St. Paul road. Heney Steadily Recovering. San Francisco.—Francis J. Heney passed a comfortable night Wednesday night and there has been no interruption in his progress toward complete recovery from the wound inflicted by Morris Haas. Tom L. Johnson Goes Broke Cleveland.—Mayor Tom L. Johnson, who for four years has been credited with possessing a very large fortune, announced Thursday that he had lost everything and would be compelled to give up his beautiful home on Euclid avenue and move into smaller and less expensive quarters, also giving up his automobile. His fortune was wrecked, the mayor declared, by his devotion to the affairs of the estate of his dead brother Albert, who was heavily interested in traction properties in the East. COLORADO ITEMS Pueblo citizens are looking into the merits of the commission form of city government. The Pueblo City Council has decided to purchase automobiles for the police and fire departments. The Northern Colorado Poultry Association will hold its annual show December 14th to 16th at Boulder. The Woodmen of the World will invest a considerable amount in the municipal bonds of Boulder, La Junta, Greeley and Fort Collins. There are thirty-one prisoners in the Weld county jail at Greeley, the most in the history of the institution; and three of the number are women. The United Oil Company at Florence has just struck a fine producer, the oil standing 2.221 feet in the well and giving promise of a big output. The Burlington Interurban Railroad Company officially announces that within the next month it will begin grading for its road from Hudson to Greeley. By a vote of 1,823 to 596, every precinct in Mesa county outside of Grand Junction affirmatively answered the question, "Shall this district become anti-saloon territory?" Reports from the mountains west of Boulder indicate that already this year more snow has fallen on the upper ranges than during the entire winter season of last year. Plans for a handsome hotel in the central part of Pueblo's business district are under consideration by A. B. Hulit, general contractor for the Kansas-Colorado Railroad Company, and his associates. Plans have been perfected at Denver for the revival services to be held at the auditorium during the first two weeks in March and to be conducted by the famous evangelist, "Gypsy" Smith of London, England. At a meeting of all attorneys in the county, the Morgan County Bar Association was organized, with L. C. Stephenson, president; C. C. Rickle, vice president; Irving Van Bradt, secretary, and F. E. Pendell, treasurer. Superintendent Casey of the Boulder schools has issued an order to teachers not to assign home work for the children in grades five and six to exceed thirty minutes, and in grades seven and eight not to exceed sixty minutes. The total tax levy on property owners of Grand Junction the coming year will amount to 67.8 mills. The municipal and school taxes are each 25 mills, county tax 17.8 mills, a slight decrease over last year, while the city tax shows a small increase. The Montrose Commercial Association is taking steps towards inducing the land owners of the Uncompahgre valley to sign the new contracts with the government for the completion of the Gunnison tunnel at an additional cost of about $10 an acre from the original estimates by the government. December 5th is the date set for the meeting at Grand Junction of the Grand Valley Water Users' Association to vote on ratifying the contract made with the government for the construction of the Highline canal. All members of the association will be allowed to vote according to the land they hold. In the United States Court at Denver Thomas A. Mostyn of Ouray was found guilty of illegally fencing public land and fined $50 by Judge Lewis. John Schwend, indicted jointly with Mostyn last May, was discharged. The two men are wealthy cattle dealers and have large herds in the Pleasant valley country in western Colorado. At chapel exercises at the Colorado college in Colorado Springs $1,070 was raised in fifteen minutes among the faculty and students, with which to send Harry E. Ewing, formerly a student at the institution and secretary of the college Y. M. C. A., to the foreign missionary field. He will go to Japan and Korea and will probably remain there permanently at the expense of Colorado college students. At a meeting of the Interdenominational Missionary Society of Pueblo, at which nineteen Protestant churches were represented, it was decided to begin active work among the foreign element in the hopes of Americanizing them as fast as possible. It was arranged to open a day nursery and a night school for boys and girls. Mothers' clubs will be organized and every effort will be made to get the foreigners interested in local subjects. N. B. Hames and other prominent citizens of Colorado Springs and Colorado City are organizing a Good Roads club, to be composed of prominent business men of Colorado Springs, Colorado City and Manitou, for the purpose of influencing appropriations to build a state road from the eastern boundaries of Colorado through Colorado Springs, Ute Pass, Teller, Park and Lake counties, to connect with Senator Taylor's Grand Valley state road, which leads to the western boundaries of Colorado. Examinations for positions as teachers in the Philippines will be held in Denver under the direction of Verner W. Campbell, secretary of the local branch of the United States Civil Service Commission, Dec. 29th and 30th. Successful applicants will sail from San Francisco in May. The school year in Manila opens in June. The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company has received an order from the Kansas-Colorado Railroad Company for enough 70-pound steel rails to construct the line from Pueblo to Turkey creek. LEGISLATION FOR GOOD ROADS WILL BE SOUGHT AT THE NEXT MEETING OF THE COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY. RESULT OF MUCH STUDY EDUCATION IN ROAD BUILDING PRIME FEATURE OF THE MICHIGAN LAW. When the state legislators recently elected meet in Denver the first of the year, one of the first measures that will be presented to their attention will be a bill providing for an act to create a State Highway Commission. Colorado at the present time is far behind the majority of states of the Union in the attention it is paying to good roads within its borders. The time has gone when a good road is looked upon as a luxury, and the reports from those communities that have spent hundreds of thousands to improve their highways shows that the investment has yielded handsome returns. The bill to be presented to the next Legislature is fostered by the Rocky Mountain Highway Association, and it is the result of much thought and study by those interested in the work. In the preparation of this measure, copies of the good roads laws of many states were studied and the best features of each were combined in the Colorado bill. Already much interest is being shown in this work throughout the state and it is believed that the next General Assembly will adopt some measure of the kind proposed. Among the state laws studied in preparing the Colorado bill was that of Michigan. In that state the law recognizes that the education of the people to the need and benefit of good roads is one of the chief factors in securing the end sought for. This law contains two features worthy of notice; the first that one of the principal duties of the state highway commissioner is to "give instruction in the art of building, improving and repairing public wagon roads and bridges." In this connection it is made mandatory by the law for the highway commissioners of the townships and counties to meet in annual session to consider matters pertaining to good roads. Attendance upon these sessions is made one of the duties of the commissioners, and the county pays their expenses, when attending such meetings. Another important feature of the bill is the clause which compels county officials to furnish to the state commissioner full reports of the condition of the various roads in their counties. Failure to do this is punishable by fine or by imprisonment. Michigan also gives rewards to the counties constructing good roads. These rewards correspond to what is termed by other states as "state aid," and in Michigan are divided in five classes, as follows: Clay-gravel, gravel, stone-gravel, gravel-stone, and macadam. The width of the roads are specified as eighteen feet, and the rewards given by the state range from $250 to $1,000 per mile. During the present year the state will expend $110,000 in this work, while there has been $160,000 appropriated for the year 1:09. This law, it has proven, has given a wonderful stimulus to the good roads movement in the state of Michigan. It is a measure along these lines that is now being sought in this state. A campaign of publicity and education is now being made, carried on by the Rocky Mountain Highway Association, to arouse interest in this work. Already every county commissioner in the state has been approached, and they are practically a unit for the need of a good roads law. The authorities at the State Agricultural College have also been aiding in this work, and the efforts of Prof. H. M. Cottrell, L. B. House and H. M. Bainer have been specially noticeable. At farmers' institutes during the past summer the need of good roads was discussed, and it will also be a subject at the short courses, when these talks will be given with the aid of lantern slides. A grand convention at which all commercial bodies of the state will be represented, is also planned for some time in December. This convention will be held in Denver and will, it is expected, be the largest gathering ever held in Colorado in the interests of good roads. The beet season in Rifle district is drawing to a close, beets having come to town at the rate of from 200 to 250 tons daily. They are shipped to the factory at Grand Junction and the growers here receive a flat price of $5 per ton. Steps are being taken toward the erection of a Masonic temple at Greely. A company will probably be formed to finance the undertaking. The Masons will have a part of the building and it will be known as the Masonic hall and bear the Masonic emblems. Gov. Henry A. Buchtel has been invited to deliver an address Governor's day, December 12th, at the National Corn Exposition to be held in Omaha, Nebraska, the second week in December. --- Pianos Sold for Storage Pianos Sold for Storage Arrangements have just been made to take the storage stock of pianos in the Breniman Moving and Storage Co., and we have thirty-two pianos which will be sold to the highest bidders; no reasonable offers refused.

Next year he met a genuine Scot of the old school at a German watering-place, and proceeded to pose as one himself, talking of Scotland and haggis and sheep's head and whisky, boasting of Bannockburn, professing devotion to Queen Mary, and extolling Scott and Burns over all English writers. On taking leave of his friend he said: "Well, sir, next time we meet, I hope you will receive me as a real countryman." "Weel." said the other, "I'm jest thinkin', my lad, ye're nae Scot, but I'll tell ye what ye are—ye're jest an impruived Englishman."

THERE have been three trials of alleged participants in the race riots which shocked Springfield and disgraced Illinois a few months ago, but each trial has resulted in the acquittal of the prisoner at the bar. Even when plainly instructed by the court, the juries appear unable to convict. It can hardly be thought that these juries are packed or that they fear to do justice.

NOW that the excitement and the prejudices of the campaign are laid aside and the decision of the people has ended all strife and uncertainty over the presidential office, it is possible to indulge in some plain conjecture regarding the next administration without thought for anything but exactness. The charges against Mr. Taft, arising out of the Brownsville incident, which were worked so strenuously throughout the campaign, undoubtedly made many Colored citizens feel that, as President, his attitude toward their race might be at least indifferent. While this feeling was not strong enough to alienate any great number of Colored voters from their support of the Republican candidate, because no other candidate or party could give any assurance of better conditions, a ghost of th fear that was aroused may still linger in the hearts of some of those timid ones who thus helplessly but hopefully continued in their party faith. Mr. Taft could not consistently discuss the soldier incident in the campaign because it was entirely a matter within the judgement of his chief, the President, upon whose judgment he was bound in all honor and reason to rely, and for the same reason he should not now, or in the future, be called upon to give expression upon or review the record of this case. But, in ways which were most reasonable, Mr. Taft, at different times, has given plain assurance that his sympathies for the Colored people, in their ever-increasing struggle for development and political equality in the United States, are not lacking either in depth or sincerity. His father was an active abolitionist, and from him he imbibed the weak as well as in the American policy of fair play. In all his long public career, no act of his has ever raised any question about his good will toward the Colored people, and if it had not been for the circumstance that he was Secretary of War when President Roosevelt's stern army orders were promulgated, the people would have at once seen in him a candidate in whom all their faith could be implicitly placed. The bigness of his mind and heart has been brought plainly before the people in the recent canvas, and perhaps no President ever took office with more universal public confidence than will characterize the ascendancy of Mr. Taft. His judicial warm heart and a pure conscience have made him just. His administration will be a brilliant one, in which no element of the people will be permitted to suffer by his fault or failure. CIVILIZING THE WHITE SOUTH NG extensive military operations againd night riders, whose members had lynch governor of Tennessee has adopted the maus necessary to promote civilization in dis of civilization are not in effectual fore the days when Uncle Sam's soldiers wich the settlers relied for protection DIRECTING extensive military operations against a secret band of outlays, called night riders, whose members had lynched a prominent citizen, the Governor of Tennessee has adopted the method recognized the world over as necessary to promote civilization in districts where the laws and rules of civilization are not in effectual force. The western pioneer recalls the days when Uncle Sam's soldiers were the ultimate force upon which the settlers relied for protection as they pushed their way beyond the established borders of civilization and made their homes in the fertile lands where marauding savages were wont to roam in quest of game and in the pursuit of their long uninterrupted and only calling. The savage resentment of the intrusion of the settler, which meant interference with and restriction of their natural hunting privileges, made military protection necessary and many thrilling romances, founded on border day experiences, yet live to show how civil order and civilized rule were finally established. That such a necessity should arise anew in a section where civilization was supposed to exist merely demonstrates the fact that isolation and selfish assumption make savages, without regard to race or other diversifying influences. That there is more downright outlawry in the South than in the West or the North is due to the isolation of communities, and the fact that the people thereof imagine that they have natural rights which should not be restricted or interfered with for the furtherance of the interests of others. Law counts for nothing against savage conviction, hence military force is the only effective and permanently convincing argument. In many portions of the South the rural white population is made up of denizens who have squatted in the country for years, with little claim of lauded ownership, or, if landlords, dwelling upon widely separated tracts, where social communication is like that between trappers and hunters who touch civilization only for occasional trading benefits. Such people attempt to regulate their own surroundings, and the night rider, the moonshiner, the law-defyer and the lyncher result. These people, with their savage sentiments, contribute to the populations of the towns and villages and form a permanent opposition to those whose breeding has taught them that the country, the town, the commonwealth and the nation are bound together by a community of interest. Feud and murder are natural to them; lynching, especially of a Negro, is a passing diversion and a pleasing expression of hate and despising contempt. Nothing will bring them under the law but that severe force which threatens their extermination if they continue to defy the law. The military is as necessary to civilize the white South as it ever was to open opportunity and freedom to the settlers of the great wide and savage West. HE most useful feature of the rigid system of aeronautics is the ease with which it may be developed to accomplish even greater things. I am not, however, at the present time meditating the construction of an airship that will carry a hundred passengers, but such a huge structure does not lie beyond the limits of the technically possible. In all likelihood airships will soon be built to fly 60 kilometers (a kilometer=3,937 inches) an hour for two days—in all about 3,000 kilometers—or, making the passage more slowly, 6,000 kilometers in $4\frac{1}{2}$ days. In figuring out to what limits the conquest of the air will be carried in one generation we may count pretty surely upon airships of this range, to judge by what has already been accomplished. Aerial navigation, the art of properly steering a vessel through the air, encounters much more serious problems than navigation on rivers and sea. All is well if the aerial pilot has a clear day, and his eyes are the only guides he needs—provided he does not have to approach a mountainous region which exceeds the height to which he can or cares to ascend. But when the winds playing about the mountains unexpectedly shift their direction—now blowing strong, now blowing weak, now up, now down—the closest attention is required, the finest skill and practice, the most accurate knowledge of the vessel itself as to the readiness with which it will respond to turning the machinery on or off. In the darkness and the fog the boat must be kept clear of such territory either by rising above it or keeping to the side of it. In order to be able to do this charts are necessary. Where there are many elevations present it is difficult to find the lowest and broadest pass over the mountain ridge, which most airships will endeavor to reach in order to avoid high flights and thus effect a saving in gas. In the rarer atmosphere the balloon would become too tense, and gas would have to be released through the safety valves. Encounters between airships will not be of infrequent occurrence. Rules and regulations for guarding against collisions must be created. Where charts do not exist on a sufficiently minute scale—at least on the ratio of 1 to 2,000—aeronauts must provide maps by taking photographs from their ships of the various localities. Similar difficulties attend the finding of landing places, though in one respect the task is not so hard, because the currents of air are less irregular at such places. The troublesome thing is, not to steer clear of but to get to a certain spot. In both cases the path to be taken should be indicated by proper lighting, perhaps by searchlights. requires—embroidery for ladies, weaving and other work for those in lower circles. The three obediences are those of a daughter to her father, a wife to her husband, and a mother to her son. These duties are amply explained in Chinese religious guide books, and it seems an excellent way to train any girl, even here in this country. She is charged to be truthful, unselfish and loving. She is told that to be tranquil and reverent in the thoughts of her heart and the inner life will clearly manifest itself in outward actions. She is especially counseled never to search out the affairs of other people, like a busybody. She is warned to treat the handmaidens and slaves with forbearance and kindness, and not to exact too strict a reckoning with them on the spending of the household funds. The Chinese girl is taught even to make the toilet a time when she can reflect on the necessary virtues. One of the spiritual books tells her that even when she spreads powder on her face she should think that it be for whiteness and purity within as well as without. Always the Chinese girl is exhorted to be good, obedient and meek, and in my day the elders always thought that much learning would render her not so submissive toward her husband and sons. the world so much better for their having been here, and decide that from out of the fullness which has descended upon them, they would give back to the world an equal in public service. Think what it would mean to bring their trained minds and great wealth and leisure to the study of the economic conditions which are represented in the underpaid services and long hours of their less fortunate sisters in the mills and factories throughout this broad land! Think what it would mean if from the protection with which their wealth and position surrounds them they took their stand on the great question of the dual code of morality! Think what it would mean to the little children being stunted mentally and physically in our mills and factories, if these thousands of young women, many of them enjoying the wealth made out of these little human souls, if they refused to wear or buy anything made under any but decent living conditions! Think what it would mean if they decided every child should have a seat in school, that every neighborhood should have a playground and a public bath!

I was reared under the old rule. My parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ho of Canton, followed traditions carefully, and they seem to me safe and admirable traditions. Chinese girls now want to learn everything which their brothers learned. I was taught that it was better for a girl to learn right behavior toward her future mother-in-law and husband. In my day girls were taught the four virtues and the three obediences. The first relate to proper conduct, a submissive demeanor, modesty and docility and proper employment of the time; that is to work faithfully at your tasks as the station her ladies, weaving and other edifices are those of a woman a mother to her son. Simply explained in China it way to train any girl, faithful, unselfish and loving the thoughts of her heath outward actions. She is one of other people, like a sister and slaves with forbes a reckoning with them. Chinese girl is taught ever the necessary virtues. Or she spreads powder on and purity within as well to be good, obedient at that much learning work and sons. ies, weaving and other work for those in low-ces are those of a daughter to her father, a mother to her son. Explained in Chinese religious guide books, to train any girl, even here in this country, unselfish and loving. She is told that to be thoughts of her heart and the inner life will ward actions. She is especially counseled never her people, like a busybody. She is warned slaves with forbearance and kindness, and koning with them on the spending of the girl is taught even to make the toilet a time necessary virtues. One of the spiritual books spreads powder on her face she should think purity within as well as without. Always the good, obedient and meek, and in my day much learning would render her not so sub-nd sons. American women of leisure must awaken to an appreciation of the democratic idea of Noblesse Oblige. They must learn that the day of alms-giving is passing. The great American public is becoming an educated one and is beginning to resent the hand of charity always being extended when it asks for justice. Picture to yourself what it would mean to this country if thousands of young women who now spend day after day with no definite object toward which to work would awaken to the debt they owe to "Helpers of Mankind," who have gone before leaving for their having been h n has descended upon the on public service.

Beverage Easy to Prepare If Directions Are Followed. The secret of good coffee is an immaculately clean coffee pot, fresh boiling water and good material. It is better to pay a little more for your coffee and use less in quantity than would be necessary in the cheaper grades. The coffee pot should be thoroughly washed and scalded after every meal and coffee never allowed to stand in it. If it gets discolored, put a little baking soda in it once a week or so, fill with cold water and let it come to the boiling point. Take care that the spout and strainer are perfectly cleaned. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Unlike most cooking utensils which do better work when their newness has worn off, a coffee pot is better when new, whether made of tin, granite ware, nickel or aluminum. Many good housekeepers advocate frequent renewals from the ten-cent store, discarding the old coffee pots as soon as they become discolored and strong. These are better in the end than the most expensive coffee percolator that is not kept immaculate. The time-honored rule for making coffee is a tablespoonful for each person and one for the pot. Put the coffee in the clean pot, pour in a few spoonfuls of cold water to wet it, add a clean, freshly-broken egg shell if you have it, or a teaspoonful of the white of egg, pour on the boiling water and let it just come to the boil. Take away from the fire, give a second shake or stir the grounds down, then replace and let it come again just to the boil. Do this three times in succession, then push back on the stove to settle and clear. Some persons prefer to make the coffee by the cold water method. In this case cover the coffee with the required amount of cold water, allow it to reach the boiling point, then proceed as before. The coffee must not be allowed to boil hard, but merely reach the boiling point each time. If not perfectly clear when ready to serve, pour in a tablespoonful of cold water. Carrot Pudding. One cupful grated carrot, one cupful grated raw potato, one cupful sugar, one cupful ground raisins, one cupful (large) of flour, two level teaspoonfuls soda dissolved in juice of potato; spice to taste; I use nutmeg. Turn pudding in buttered bucket, a five pound lard bucket answers nicely, and place bucket in large kettle containing boiling water. Cover outside kettle and steam about $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours. The water must not fall below the boiling point. Good with any kind of a good pudding sauce, vanilla, lemon or brandy sauce, or may be iced when cold and used as fruit cake. Sauce.—Two cups milk, one-third of a cupful of sugar, tablespoonful butter, tablespoonful flour; flavor with vanilla. Apple. Bread. make up two quarts of dough *t* if for rusks; when it is light roll out a cake of it, half an inch thick; spread stewed apples over it and over that another cake rolled like the first; put in a pan to lighten for a short time; bake it; have some thin slices of stewed apples, tender, when the cake is baked; lay these apples all over the top, sprinkle them well with sugar, some small bits of butter, and either cinnamon or nutmeg; put it back in the oven long enough for the sugar to form a coating on the top; take it out, and when cold slice it up. This is an excellent bread for tea. Chocolate Walnuts. One cup sugar, two squares chocolate (melted), two eggs (beat, white and yolks separately), one cup milk (sweet or sour), four cups flour, one teaspoon soda (level), one teaspoon vanilla extract, one cup walnuts (broken, but not too fine), one pinch salt. Mix in order given above. Roll out into quarter-inch thickness and cut with small round cutter (top of a salt shaker may be used); fry in deep fat a number at a time, and as soon as they rise to the top stir with long fork so that they will cook evenly. When cool roll in powdered sugar. Potato, Dumplings. Mash fine half a dozen good sized hot boiled potatoes or put them through a ricer and beat afterward. Add a rounding tablespoon of butter, one beaten egg, two cups of milk and let cool until lukewarm. Add a yeast cake dissolved in a little water and enough flour to make a stiff dough. Cover, let rise, shape lightly into little cakes, and let rise light again. Take up with a broad knife and lay around on top of the boiling stew or pot pie. Cover and steam until done. The cakes may also be set in a buttered pan and baked a light brown; serve hot Creamed Celery. Scrape and cut the celery into inch pieces; stalks which are not sufficiently blanched for use raw or in salads will do. Drop them into boiling water and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and to one pint of celery add one cupful of white sauce. Simmer 20 minutes. Bavarian Pie. Line pie tin with a rich crust. Fill with sliced apples, peaches,or apricots. Beat together one cup cream, one cup sugar, one egg. Cover fruit with this mixture and bake slowly for one-half hour. Broiled Tripe. For this use the thickest, fattest tripe procurable. Wipe dry, rub both sides with soft butter, dust with salt and pepper and broil over a clear fire. Turn on a heated dish and lay on it bits of butter, then serve. FOR THE HOUSEWIFE MATTERS OF MORE OR LESS IM. PORTANCE IN THE HOME. Simple Device to Keep the Portieres from Flying Open—Removing Spots from Tablecloth—Use for Old Towels. Portiere Fasteners.—Many times it is advisable to close the portieres, either to keep the dust in or the chill out. Yet when touched by the slightest draft near the fire they will persist in flying open. Near the edge sew two or three small socket snaps either to keep the dust in or the chill out. Yet when touched by the slightest draft near the fire they will persist in flying open. Near the edge sew two or three small socket snaps. They will never be seen and will hold the two lengths of curtains securely together. Tablecloths.—A novel and sensible way of removing a few spots from an otherwise acceptable tablecloth is to slip underneath the cloth before removing it from the table a small sized bowl, and with a small pitcher of boiling water and a clean spoon pour the water on the cloth, letting it fall into the bowl held under, and with a little swishing of the spoon take out the spot. By carefully removing the cloth and hanging it on the line until dry it is again ready for further use and is freed from spots. Old Turkish Towels.—Many object to the economy of cutting up the better portions of old Turkish towels for wash-rags, on the ground that the hem is cumbersone. Without a hem they ravel and the threads get down the waste pipes. A satisfactory way is to buttonhole stitch the edge with white darning cotton that sinks into the mesh and holds in the threads. The stitches may be a quarter of an inch apart and taken in deep from the edge. Thus employment can be furnished for the youngest member of the family. Mending China.—One woman's way is to powder a small quantity of lime and, after adding the white of an egg, mix into a paste. Apply it quickly to the china to be mended and hold or tie the broken pieces firmly for a few minutes, so they may become set. China mended in this way will rarely break again in the same place. Prunes.—One mother keeps on the sideboard an attractive glass dish filled with the best quantity of prunes steamed and then allowed to dry. Beside the dish is a little glass filled with toothpicks, and the children are thus provided with the very best article of food for between-meal nibbling. Even those who profess to dislike the much-abused prunes cannot resist the temptation to eat them. New Dish Pan.—A brown papermache tub of small size is found by many to be far preferable to use as a dish pan than the ordinary tin or agate ware, for the reason that with its use delicate glasses and china are less likely to be broken. English Rhubarb Pie Mix and sift twice two cups flour, four teaspoons baking powder, half teaspoon salt, one-quarter cup sugar, a little nutmeg. Work in one-third cup butter and $1 \frac{1}{4}$ tablespoons lard. Add one egg well beaten, one-third cup sweet milk. Roll out three-quarters inch thick, cut with small biscuit cutter and bake. Pour boiling water on cut up rhubarb and let it cool; pour off water, add more and cook gently until done, adding sugar to taste. Pour over the little crusts (one to each person) and serve hot. Apples (sour) may be used in the same manner. Save Kid Gloves. If you have lost one of your kid gloves do not throw the other away If it is a short one it will come handy for stripping on the right hand when polishing stoves or doing any other rough hand work. An elbow length kid glove ripped apart to get the largest surface will in most cases serve the same purpose as a chamois polisher. I have also used the arm part of kid gloves for making infants' shoes, pocket watch protectors, and as a covering for balls of twine or knitting yarn to be used temporarily for indoor play. Nice for Luncheon. Beat the white of one egg until stiff, add two cups of granulated sugar, one cup chopped nuts and one-half cup raisins. Stir all well. Then spread the mixture on the large sized oyster crackers, or square soda wafers if preferred. Place these in a warm oven until brown on top. Delicious for luncheon or afternoon tea; good warm or cold. Breaded Sweet Potatoes A new and easy way to serve sweet potatoes is to take cold boiled sweet potatoes and slice them lengthwise. Then take as many eggs as you think enough for the amount of slices you have and dip the potatoes in the egg and roll in cracker crumbs. You will find it makes a delicious dish for supper. Sweet Potato Pudding Mix with one pound of sweet potatoes, grated raw, half a teacupful of molasses, two beaten eggs, one tablespoon of butter, with two tablespoons of sugar and enough milk, to make a thin mixture; add one teaspoonful of ginger and spice to taste. Sugar Potatoes. Sprinkle as much sugar as salt on your potatoes when frying and note the delicious flavor. See eee 3 CITY NEWS / 3 Z ooo 3 Mrs. John Kennedy is in the hospital sick, Mr, and Mrs. R.

The Home.— Buying olive oil by the gallon is one case of economy. To cover the pan in which fish is cooking will make the flesh soft. Serving but two vegetables at din- ner is as fashionable as It {s economi- cal. Cheap cuts of meat can be served palatably in stews and croquettes. , Perfumed olive oil, sprinkled on jJi- brary shelves, will prevent mold on books. After. trimming, turn the wick of a lamp below the burner or the il will ooze. i Mud stains can be removed from black cloth by rubbing them with a raw potato. ; Dried lemon peel sprinkled: over coals will destroy any disagreeable odor about the house. To make luminous paint, mix a small quantity of calcium sulphide with ordinary white paint. Paperhanger’s paste is made by ad- ding a teaspoonful of powdered alum to every pound of flour. Stuffed Tomatoes, Italian Style. ‘Take one dozen or more tomatoes, not too ripe. Wash, but do not peal them. Cut one slice off top, so as to clean the inside, then to make the stuffing taken seven eggs and! beat well, two cups of grated cheese, two sprigs chopped parsley, two sprigs of chopped thyme, a quarter loaf of stule bread; let stand in lukewarm water five minutes, then squeeze water out, a half cup of sausage meat, pepper and salt to taste. Mix the whole. Have your baking pan ready. Put to- matoes in, four or five in a row, and fill. On each tomato put a piece of butter. Grease pan with olive oil or butter. Have oven warm and let bake for an hour or more until done. Serve hot or cold, as preferred. PSS ah ; A toothsome salad may be arranged of fruit and lettuce for a little supper after the theater or for any informal evening occasion. Cups are made out of the heart of lettuce and in each is put sliced pears, apples, bananas and walnuts, covered with mayonnaise or French dressing. It can be prepared beforehand and put into the refrigerator to chill. It sheuld be served cold on dainty little plates. With it have sandwiches made of thin slices of graham bread covered with French dressing and boiled red Spanish peppers with celery chopped up and put under the peppers. About Screens. Screens are often made of cheap wood which easily warps and for this reason they should be kept in a dry place during the winter. ‘They should be stood on end and not laid flat upon the floor. Sweep the screens free from dust and with an old brush and a bucket of kerosene coat the wire and wood. This prevents rust and helps preserve the wood. Do not nestle the screens closely together so that the weight of small ones will bulge the wire of larger ones. A storm door can be made from the frame of an old sereen door covered with oilcloth.

But a cursory contrast of the condition of the country as it was then and as it is now shows vast general improvement. To begin with, Thanksgiving day, 1865, found the country as yet practically unaddressed to the problem of getting over the frightful struggle that had rent and torn and well-nigh disrupted it. Not only were the wounds of sectional ill-feeling still open and unhealed, but most of the industries of one great section were still practically prostrated. The readjustment of the country's business, difficult always after a great war, but doubly so after the civil war, because of the enormous inflation to which the currency had been subjected, was yet to be undertaken. Most important agencies in the new and stronger union which has come to the United States since 1865 have been furnished by the tremendously improved means of communication and transportation. Most folk accept it today as a matter of course. To the younger generation it seems like an institution that has always existed, without which, no matter how much fault may be found with its rates, the business of the country could not well go on. But while there were about 50,000 miles of railroad in 1865, there are more than four times that many today, or about 215,000, more than seven miles for every 100 square miles of territory. ne" of OTTLED BEER Then, as the old heads remember very well, there was no steel highway linking the coast of the Atlantic with the coast of the Pacific. Then there were three ways by which one wishing to travel from New York or Boston or Washington, to San Francisco or Portland, could do so: Overland by a combination of rail to the Mississippi, and stage coach and horseback westward from the river, a journey requiring many days; by steamer or sailing ship around the Horn, a voyage of months; or by steamer to the Isthmus of Panama (they called it Darien, then) across on the Panama railroad, and thence by steamer again up the coast to San Francisco. It cost several hundred dollars to get from one side of the country to the other, then. Now, at the lowest rate, you may travel from one ocean to the other for $50; the highest rate, unless you wish to go on a private or special car—a veritable palace on wheels—is $115.75. This includes seping car, birth and meals. ED. HOLLA Manager. 2317-19 Larimer St Denver. Colorado Phone 1461 Main. PHONE MAIN G128.

There are some things about this country to-day with which even a good- Since 1865 the general material development of the country has been such as to transcend all ordinary human understanding. Vast new mining fields have been opened, whole areas of coal deposits, many of them entirely unsuspected, have been found and developed since 1865. The enormously valuable deposits of copper in Montana have all been discovered and developed since 1865. Michigan's, though known before then, have also been mainly developed inside of 40 years. So have the great iron deposits of Michigan, the zinc deposits of Missouri and countless beds of mineral wealth of all sorts in the south and in the almost boundless trans-Mississippi regions. Secretary Seward knew that there was almost fabulous treasure under the surface of what was called Russian America when he bought it from the czar's government, but the gold and silver and other mineral wealth of Alaska has practically all been found and developed within the last ten years. In 40 years the addition from mineral sources alone to the wealth of the country has amounted to billions on the back of billions. Petroleum was discovered before 1865, and the development of territory which yielded it was begun 40 years ago, but by far the greater part of that development has been accomplished since then. Along with all these things the area of cultivated land has been increased so that the wheat and corn and cotton and other crops of the present are enormously vaster than they were in 1865. Manufactures of all sorts have increased enormously also, the total for 1865 being worth rather more than two billions of dollars; this year the total value of our manufactures will not be far from fifteen, billions of dollars, roughly estimating the figures from the census of 1900. Stimulated by the extension and development of the railroads, and in turn stimulating their development, intimately interlocked and interdependent with the growth of mining, agriculture and manufacturing, there has been an unbelievable growth of cities and towns. And, as Uncle Sam, after a right good dinner of turkey and pumpkin pie and other standard Yankee vlands, contemplates the tremendous advance his settlements have made he may also dwell in thought upon the fact that the total of the country's population has grown from about 33,500,000 in 1865, to more than 80,000,000 in 1908. Now these material good things are all well worth being grateful for; no other people on the green earth have so many reasons of the sort for thankfulness as the Americans.

"There are in the Scriptures more com- mands and calls to praise than to prayer. Yet few duties are more frequent- ly neglected than this, There are many people who are always coming te God with requests but who do not come to him with thanksgiving after their requests have been granted. Ten lepers once cried to Jesus for cleans- ing, as he was passing them at a dis- tance. He graciously heard them and granted their plea. When they had been healed, one of the ten returned to thank the healer, but the other nine ‘came not again with any word of rec- ognition of the great-favor they had received. So it is continually—many are blessed and helped, but few show ‘gratitude. Our Lord felt keenly the ingratitude of the lepers who re- turned not. “Where are the nine?” was his pained question. God pours out his gifts and blessings every day upon ‘his children; and whenever no voice of thanksgiving is heard in return he misses it. If one bird of the forest eS silent in the glad spring day, he misses its song. If one human heart fails to utter its praise amid life's countless blessings, he is disap- pointed. Many there are who think that if certain definite days are set apart for praise it is enough. For example, ‘they will be grateful for a whole day once in a year, touching then every ‘chord gf praise in their being, think- ing that this is the way God wants them to show their gratitude. But the annual Thanksgiving day is not in- tended to gather into itself the thanks- giving for a whole year; rather it is intended to give the keynote for all the year’s life. Life’s true concert ite is praise. If we find that we are below the right pitch, we should take advantage of the particular thanksgiving seasons to get keyed ‘up. When the strings of life begin to grow discordant thanksgiving will put us in tune. : The ideal life is one of gladness, Unthankfulness and fretfulness are discords in the song. We have no right to live gloomily or sadly. Go where we may, we hear the music of joy, unless our ears have become tone- FSSSREosSsTee: deaf. The world is full of beauty and full of music. Yet it is strange how many people seem neither to see the Joyeliness nor hear the music. It were well if many of us would train ourselves to see the glory and good- ness of God, as revealed in nature. It will be sad to leave this world, after staying in it three-score or four-score years without having seen any of the ten thousand beauties with which God had adorned it. “Consider the lilies,” said Jesus. Every sweet flower has a message of joy to him who can read the writing. One who loves God's flowers and birds and trees and moun- tains and rivers and seas, and has learned to heed the voices which every- where whisper their secrets to him who understands, can never be sad or lonely. The power to hear what nature's voices haye to say is in our hearts, not merely in the ear. We must have the beauty in our souls be- fore we can see beauty anywhere. Hence there are many who are really blind to the loveliness which God has strewn everywhere, with most lavish hand, in his works. So we must have the music in our heart before we can hear the music which sings every- where for him who has ears to hear. If we haye thanksgiving within us, we will have no trouble in finding glad- ‘ness wherever we go. It is a sad and cheerless heart that makes the world seem dreary to certain people; if only they will let joy enter to dwell within, a new world would be created for them. If we alow our heart to cher- ish unlovingness, bitterness, _evil thoughts or feelings, we cannot hear the music of love which breathes everywhere, pouring out from the heart of God. But if we keep our heart gentle, patient, lowly, and kind, on our ears will fall, wherever we go, sweet strains of divine music. ‘Then a glad life makes a life of gladness wherever it goes. It leaves an unbroken lane of sunbeams behind it. Everybody is better as well as hap- pier for meeting one whose Christian life radiates gladness and cheer, We can do nothing better either for our- selves or for the world in which we live than to learn the lesson of praise and of thanksgiving. “Let us learn to sing unto the Lord with thanksgiv- ing.” There are troubles in every life, but there are a thousand good hings for one trial. Sometimes we have disappointments but even these are really God's appointments, as some day we shall find ont, If people are unkind to us, we must go on lov- ing just as before, our hearts full of unconquerable kindness, and it will finally win. The most deep-seated ten- dency to sadness can be overcome and replaced by happy cheerfulness. The gospel of Christ comes to us and tells us that we must be born again, born from above, born of God, and our very nature will be recreated. Then di- vine grace assures us that it is not impossible even for the most unholy life to be transformed into holiness. ‘The veing that is saturated with sin may ‘e whiter than snow. There is no nature, therefore, however unhappy PIE e eek it may be because of its original qual: ity or its early training, which cannot through divine help learn the lesson of happiness and thanksgiving. The secret of Christian joy is the peace of Christ in the heart. Then one is not dependent upon circumstances or con- ditions. St. Paul said he had learned in whatsoever state he was therein to be content. We know well that his circumstances were not always con- genial nor easy, but he sang songs in his prison with as cheerful a heart as when he was enjoying the hospitality of a loving friend. There might be hardships, sufferings, and want; but in himself he had the peace of Christ; and this sustained him, St. Paul's secret of contentment is the Chris: tian's true secret of a happy life. YEARNING OF THE SOUL. Writer's Desires Expressed in Most Beautiful Pross Verse. ‘Through every grass-blade in the many thousand grasses; through the million leaves, veined and edgecut, on bush and tree; through the song notes and the marked feathers of the bird; through the insect's hum and the color of the butterfly; through the soft, warm air and the flecks of clouds dis- solving—I used them all for prayer with all the energy the sunbeams had poured unwearied on the earth since Sesostris was conscious of them on the ancient sands; with all the life that had been lived by vigorous man and beautcous woman since first in dearest Greece the dream of the gods was woven; with all the soullife that had flowed a long stream down to me—I prayed that I might have a soul more than equal to, far beyond my concep- tion of those things of the past, the present, and the fullness of all life; not only equal to these, but beyond, higher ,and more powerful than I could imagine; that I might take from all their energy, grandeur, and beauty, and gather it unto me; that my soul might be more than the cosmos of life. —Richard Jefferies.

The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months arid, after that, once or twice a week: The treatments I tried took a lot of money, and it is fortunate that I used Cuticura.

Now that net waists and trimmings that match in tone the dress material are fashionable, one can save considerable and be more sure that they will be exactly the color wanted if they are bought in the natural color and dyed at home. Get a tube of artist's paint at near the shade ow the cloth as possible, and into a gallon of gasoline put sufficient of the color to make the desired shade. Be careful and only put in a little at a time, because you can always add more but you cannot take it out. Stir it around thoroughly in the gasoline and before putting the whole material in try the color by dipping a small piece of goods. Dried in this way, materials do not require ironing. By the same process any soft-finished silk, such as crepe de chine, or silk mulls, can be freshened up and made equal to new. Getting Rid of Wrinkles The majority of women are more dismayed at the sight of wrinkles than about any other physical defect, because as a rule wrinkles mean approaching age. The forehead and about the mouth are where the wrinkles become the deepest. For the most part wrinkles on the forehead are caused by the sad and bad habit of scowling whenever absorbed in anything. You must break yourself of the habit of scowling if you wish to get rid of the wrinkles, for cosmetics can do hardly any good alone. An excellent way to remove wrinkles is by the use of astringents, boracic acid added to a simple ointment, a teaspoonful to an ounce is a good preparation. Put the grease on along the lines of the wrinkles, rubbing across them, of course, and seeing that the grease is applied to the deepest part of them. Another good way to use boracic acid is to add it to glycerine, a level teaspoonful to an ounce of glycerine. Paint the wrinkles with a camel's hair brush or a swab of cotton. How Hats Are Worn. The latest recipe for properly adjusting the hat, as given by a well-known New York milliner to a customer, is to stand before a mirror, suspend the hat straight above the head, and then set it squarely and firmly upon the crown, allowing it to go as far over the sides of the head as it will. It matters not if the upper half of the face is entirely concealed or that the wearer has a depressed appearance of countenance, but she positively must not look rakish, or she inevitably will appear if a shape of mammoth proportions, unsustained by a bandeau, is permitted to tilt in the slightest degree toward one side or the other. In none of the autumn hats are bandeaux to be found, and as the hair is always worn flat and broad, the problem of adjusting the headgear correctly and then keeping it in position is one which a number of women have not as yet solved to their complete satisfaction. Creed, Too, Says Long Coats. This penchant for long coats is confirmed by Creed, who makes so many of the absolutely plain tailor modes that English women love to wear. For them, and for the Americans who have ordered suits early before returning to America, he has made many long coats reaching almost to the knees. These have all long, close sleeves, and sometimes directoire cuffs at the hands. For materials, Creed is using some velvets, braided with broad silk braid. For the morning he employs a rather rough English tweed suiting. And, of course, broadcloth and cheviot are always favorites of his. DEALING WITH RESTLESS CHILD. Provide Some Employment That Suits Natural Needs. When a boy or girl is restless, can not sit still or teases for something to do, it is positively cruel to insist upon quiet for fear of punishment. Every child that is healthy to a normal degree craves exercise. When a child is hungry we feed him and give him water when he is thirsty. If we respect these cravings of a child, why should we not give him employment when he has nothing to do and craves exercise? Romp with him for half an hour or take him for a walk or run and then he will be content to settle down to quieter games. Don't have so many breakable ornaments about the house that the child is afraid to move and becomes nervous and cross from want of exercise. The child's health and well-being are more valuable than even the most costly bric-a-brac. If it is a rainy day provide some fascinating game or occupation. There is nothing which children love to do more than color pictures. Give a child several old magazines a box of water colors, and several paint brushes, and he will be happy and contented for an hour or more. OF PINK CRYSTALLINE. ```markdown ``` Pretty waist of pink crystalline made with wide plaits. The front and the insertion are of silk and soutache embroidery on a tulle foundation. Little silk tassels ornament the front of the blouse. The guimpe and undersleeves are of mousseline de sole made with fine plaits, the former trimmed with lace insertion, and little straps of soutache, the latter finished at the wrists with the embroidery and tassels. Broad, Flat Bows. For the time being the so-called milliners' bow is in a state of eclipse, and a bow that strongly resembles those worn upon women's pumps has superseded it, that going on hats, however, being in from three to five layers of flat loops, each one extending about half an inch beyond the other. These bows are never seen on any but the tailored hats of the better class, and often they form the sole trimming, the ribbon being of a thick, corded quality, somewhat resembling Ottoman, and of rather extreme width. They are also used in connection with short wings and in nearly every instance are apparently fastened down with a large buckle or a pair of cabachon-headed pins. Cretonne Book Cover The new chintzes or cretonnes make wonderfully good-looking book covers. It is quite easy to accomplish one of these at home. Instead of the commonplace flowered fabrics the striped and small pattern chintzes are chosen and bound with gold galloon S&H GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

Sunday Dessert Perhaps More Easy to Prepare Than Most Others—Apple Tapioca Is Good to Start With. It is far better for the girl who is employed during the day to learn a little about cooking now and then, when she has few household responsibilities, than to wait until she assumes the role of housekeeper in her own home. A few dishstew well made little about cooking now and then, when she has few household responsibilities, than to wait until she assumes the role of housekeeper in her own home. A few dishes well made and made often enough so that one undertakes the recipe with ease will prove of great value later on. The best way for her to be assured of all due appreciation when serving the results of her first attempts in the mysteries of the art of cooking is to have it understood that she will be responsible for the Sunday dessert or for one dish for the Sunday night supper. Now that apples are fairly reasonable a dish that is generally liked is: Apple Tapioca Saturday night, remember to soak three-quarters cup of pearl or coarse tapioca. If the tapioca is very fine, three hours of soaking will suffice. If you wish the pudding hot, one hour before dinner drain off the water for the tapioca and place it in a double boiler with a quart of hot but not boiling water. Let it boil until the tapioca becomes transparent—30 minutes is the usual length of time. Stir it several times and add one-half teaspoonful of salt just before removing from the fire. Pare and core about seven apples, or the apples may be quartered and then added. If cored, place in each apple a generous teaspoonful of sugar and squeeze a little lemon juice if desired. Add a dot of butter to the top of each and pour the tapioca from the double boiler around or over the apples. Bake until soft, usually 30 or 40 minutes. Serve hot or cold with cream or sugar or any preferred sauce. Plain Pudding Sauce. One pint boiling water, one tablespoonful butter, two tablespoonfuls flour, one cup sugar. Salt and flavor with lemon, vanilla or nutmeg. Mix the flour with a little water and free from lumps. Add the butter, sugar and salt, and then the smooth flour and stir till clear. Take from the fire and flavor. The yolk of one egg can be added to this; if so, it must be done very gradually as you so quickly, or it will cook before it mixes with the boiling mixture and show in strings. After adding the flavoring, stir in the whites of the egg beaten stiff and it will cook as it is stirred in and then preserve its shape as froth. It is well to remember that, whenever a hot pudding calls for the whites of eggs, they should be beaten stiff and stirred into the boiling mixture just as it is removed from the stove. Thus all such puddings are made flaky and more attractive in regard to both looks and taste. Spanish Cream. Soak one-half package of calves' head gelatine in one quart of milk ten minutes, then put on the stove in a double boiler Beat the yolks of three eggs and one cup of sugar light and stir it into the milk, when it is good and hot. Cook a few minutes, then remove from the fire and add the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and a teaspoon of vanilla. Pour into a mold or bowl, first wet in cold water. Make the day before serving. This will serve six or eight, but I have no trouble disposing of it when there are only three or four at table. Serve cake with it. Useful Cooking Hint. Most people understand that the placing of a marble in a kettle prevents furring, but few seem to know that a large, clean marble boiled in milk, porridge, custards, sauces or stews will automatically do the stirring as the liquid cooks. Any chance of burning will be prevented and thus the fatigue of constantly stirring and the cook's time can be saved, as by this means the cook can be attending to other things instead of having to give her whole time and attention to one. Lemon Queen Cake. On and a half cupfuls of sugar, hall a cupful of butter, half a cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, three eggs beaten separately, rind and juice of one lemon and $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat butter and eggs till light and creamy; add yolks, lemon rind and juice; next flour and baking powder; then milk, and beat well. Add whites, well beaten, last of all. Paper your pan, bake three-quarters of an hour. This recipe was recently received from a Vermont housekeeper nearly 90 years of age. Banana Marmalade Put into a porcelain saucepan two cupfuls of sugar and one of water. Cook until it spins a thread when poured from the tip of the spoon. Now stir in slowly the crushed pulp of four or five bananas with a table-spoonful sweet cider or lemon juice and simmer about 20 minutes until thickened. It is wiser to keep an asbestos lid under the pan so there will be little danger of burning.
