Colorado Statesman

WE WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PROTESTING Against Negro Soldiers, the Bravest and Most Fearless Defenders of this Nation by Some Biased and Prejudiced Whites Against Their Coming to Fort Logan. VOL. XV, PROTE Against Negro Soldiers, the Brave this Nation by Some Bias Against Their Com In whatever capacity the Negro presents himself, there arises a protest. Now comes a protest against the Negro soldier, the bravest and most fearless defender of this nation in all wars. The telegraphic reports bring the news that early in 1909 the famous Ninth cavalry and Twenty-fifth infantry will be brought back from the Philippines and stationed in the states. The War Department has decided that a portion of these Negro soldiers will be stationed at Fort Logan, about seven miles from the city of Denver. Now comes the protest. In one of our prominent dailies a few days ago, under bold headlines, appeared the whimpering protest of the representatives of an element of Negro-haters, who seeks to hide behind an entire community. It is passing strange that in the great government "of the people, by the people, and for the people," 'that the action of the people should apparently raise such a fuss. The President and the Department at Washington are the direct representatives of the people. In all things they act for the best interest of all the people, and not for a certain element. The departments have decreed that the Negro soldiers shall be quartered at Fort Logan. Now, why the protest? Has not the Negro made a good soldier? The Negro soldier has been one of the defenders of this country ever since the Jamestown settlers bought Negro slaves from Dutch traders. The slave not only felled the forest and tilled the fields, he defended the homes of the colonists from savage Indian and treacherous renegade. When the thirteen colonies sought to establish their independence a Negro was the first to offer himself a sacrifice on the altar of American liberty. And thus it has been in every critical period of this nation's history. The Negro has proven beyond the question of a doubt his courageousness, fearlessness and resourcefulness. The splendid record of the Negro soldier is a matter of history and all may read it. We have only referred to it at this time to show that in courage and patriotism the Negro soldier has been --- State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ISH YOU COLORA ESTING st and Most Fearless Defenders of ed and Prejudiced Whites ing to Fort Logan. and is, the equal of any soldier Uncle Sam has turned out of his heterogeneous citizenship. Soldiers are the same, the world over. In times of peace, unless subjected to a cruel discipline, they are more or less obstreperous. They are grown-up boys with too much idle time. This is true regardless of color. Ever since the ill-fated occurrence at Brownsville, whether it be true as charged, or false, people have been disposed to hold up their hands in horror when "Negro soldiers" are mentioned. This is especially true of a certain class of white people who are ever seeking means of aggravating public sentiment against the race. They seem to forget the hundreds of crimes, even more offensive, against public morals, charged every year to white soldiers. That there should be some one to start a protest against the Negro lands in America, is not surprising. soldier almost a year before he THE COLORADO STATESMAN, after enjoying a continued existence of more than fifteen years in this city, in which time we have seen Denver develop from an obscure frontier town to a magnificent city, does not believe that the great body of our citizens joins this unpatriotic and un-American action. The citizens of South Denver will undoubtedly find themselves subjected to less indecent conversation and profane language when riding on the cars with Negro soldiers, than under present conditions. The gentleman with the unpronounceable name, who styles himself "President of the South Broadway Improvement Society," and who hastens to get himself in the limelight, is evidently one of those European refugees who left his country for fear of being called upon for military service. The presence of Negro soldiers at Fort Logan will not blast the civic virtue of Denver, nor rob this great and glorious metropolis of financial and commercial standing, these men will come, by order of our representatives in Washington. It becomes our duty to see that everything is done for their pleasure and comfort, and, in turn, demand a conformity to public morals and decency. --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1908 The Negroes of South Carolina, it is reported, own and control more than one-third of the farms of that State and pay more than a half of the school taxes. All things come to those who hustle while they wait. It is said by recent visitors to Philadelphia that the A. E. Makel Negro Department Store Company there, with capital stock of $20,000, in its newly purchased large three-story brick home will be a close rival to the Metropolitan Department Store of Baltimore. Topeka, Kan., Dec. 12.—Cities of Kansas may provide separate schools for white and Negro children in the grades below high school, but schools for Negroes must have equal facilities, according to a decision of the State Supreme Court rendered today. Grand Exalted Ruler B. F. Howard has accepted the office of general manager for the Fraternal Mutual Benevolent Association of Kentucky, an incorporated society which pays death benefits as high as $60.00 and as low as $10.00; sick benefits from $1.00 to $5.00; dues are from 5 cents to 25 cents weekly. Butler General, a quiet unassuming Negro of Marion county, South Carolina, is said by the Detroit News, to be the biggest farmer in South Carolina, having 1,000 acres of the finest cotton and timber land, running 18 plows using 140 tons of guano annually. In how many senses is Butler General the reverse of General Butler? --- Thity five hundred Negro immigrants in the last five years to January 1, 1908 and one thousand such immigrants in the last six months have come into Massachusetts through the New Bedford port alone, according to the New York Evening Post. No wonder that the calm Professor Ripley, of Harvard, says the American of the future will be swarthy in complexion. Charleston, W. Va., Dec. 12.—John C. Gilmer, editor of the Charleston Advocate, has been appointed State Librarian by Gov. Dawson to fill the unexpired term made vacant by the death of S. W. Starks. There were many applicants for the position. Gov. Dawson thought that Mr. Gilmer, who has been connected with the leading Negro paper of West Virginia for several years, deserving of the appointment. Martinsburg, W. Va., Dec. 14. Isaac D. Craig, colored, believed to be the man wanted in Lewistown, Pa., for the murder of a white man on December 8, was arrested here today by Officer Hollis and Deputy Sheriff Wolf after a desperate battle, in which he was clubbed into submission. Papers found upon Craig showed that he was a bugler in Company F, Tenth Cavalry (colored), and he claims he was one of the first men to follow Colonel Roosevelt in his charge up San Juan Hill. His papers also show that he re-enlisted in another regiment and served nearly three in the Phillipines. There are 280 Negro postmasters in the country, three of whom at least are appointed directly by the President—Joshua E. Wilson, Florence, S. C., $2,000; Thomas Richardson, Port Gibson, Miss. $1,700, and George W. Reed, Beaufort, S. C., $1,600 per year. We stake our reputation on this prophecy, that, just as the Charleston News and Courier fears, within the next administration owing to the just-issued order of President Roosevelt, putting 15,000 fourth-class post offices under civil service rule, the number of Negro postmasters will be more than doubled. Chicago, Dec. 16 —The tipping system as it obtains in America, and particularly as it applied to the Pullman Car Company, underwent a fleeting inquiry before Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane today. Richmond Dean, general manager of the Pullman Co., denied that the public tips the porter because he is underpaid. The tipping custom is a result of the selfishness of persons who desire better service than their fellows and are willing to pay for it," he said. "What is the salary of a porter, Mr. Dean?" inquired Mr. Manahan, representing the complainant. "They are paid $25 a month." By direction of the War Department, General Leonard Wood, commanding the Department of the East, at New York, has ordered that the one company of the 24th Infantry at Madison Barracks N. Y., be sent to New York City to participate in the great parade and exercises to be held there on the first of January, under the auspices of the Lincoln Emancipation Association of Brooklyn. The movement for this emancipation celebration grew out the activity of George E. Wibecan, of the Post-Office Department and a political leader of much prominence in Kings county. The orator of the day will be Hon. William Tecumseh Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury. Later in the season, Dr. Vernon will speak in Cleveland, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. SKY PILOTS OF OUR COLORED TROOPS But a comparatively few colored troops went out of the American army when the battalion at Brownsville, Texas, was disbanded by President Roosevelt. There are still several bodies of colored fighters, each several hundred strong, who are among the most efficient men in the military service and who have won tributes of approval from white commanders of high rank. Some of these aggregations are stationed in this country, while others are serving the United States in the Philippine Islands, where they have made and are still making excellent records, records. Naturally there have been appointed from time to time for the spiritual benefit of these Negro soldiers chaplain of their own race possessing their confidence and exerting good influence over them. Although the chaplain now in the Philippines number only four they have, owing to the pressure of their duties, but once seen gathered together in the same place. This occurred at Manila during the military manoeuvers which took place there some months ago, and in which the Negro troops were well in evidence. The four chaplains bear military titles and are worthy, intelligent and respected officers. Their presence at the military meet was much commented upon as an event not likely to be repeated in many years to come. The "Sky Pilots" of our colored troops are: "Captain George W. Prioleau, 9th Cavalry; First. Lieutenant Oscar J. W. Scott, 25th Infantry; Major William T. Anderson, 10th Cavalry, ane First Lieutenant W. W. Gladden, 24th Infantry.—Leslie's Weekly. IN MEMORY OF LINCOLN. Washington, Dec. 13.—Senator Dick, of Ohio, has introduced concurrent resolutions setting apart Friday, February 12, 1909, the centennial anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's brithday, as a day of national observance. He proposes that joint exercises be held by the Senate and the House of Representatives "to listen to an appropriate address on the life, character, genius, patriotism and public services" of Lincoln and "to otherwise commemorate in fitting manner his invaluable services to the nation." The resolutions recommend that Americans at home and abroad, all organized bodies of citizens, religious, military and civic, commercial and industrial, have special services "to do reverent honor NO.14 to his memory." Eulogistic addresses are recommended and the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg address. Colleges and universities and schools are especially urged to observe the day. Finally the resolutions "recommended looking to the erection in the city of Washington of a monument" to "commemorate the grandeur of character, nobility of life and epoch-making career of Abraham Lincoln." NEGRO SOLDIERS BRAVEST MEN IN COUNTRY'S ARMY. Criticism of the Attitude of South Denver People to the Twenty-fifth Regiment, Which Will Be Stationed at Fort Logan. To The Republican- It is with deep chagrin, combined with a feeling of sorrow for the ignorance of those concerned, that I have just read, in your issue of December 18th, of the misguided feelings of the prominent citizens of South Denver who purpose protesting against the assignment of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to Fort Logan, for station, to replace the Twenty-first infantry now there. The Twenty-fifth infantry is a colored regiment, but does not include in its present enlisted strength any of the so-called "Brownsville rioters," since this battalion is out of service and has been since 1906. It is particularly unjust to protest against this order in the face of the fact that the Twenty-fifth infantry will be returning from foreign service and, having done its duty for the homeland and the flag during its tour in the islands, is entitled to a decent reception in the home-land. I have served with colored troops and know that no more efficient or loyal men exist on earth. They face hardships and dangers which would try the souls of the bravest, and all this with a smile and a light heartedness that makes an officer's life with them a pleasure and wins the admiration of every man. The record of the Twenty-fifth infantry will be found to be above reproach with the single exception of the Brownsville affair, and these men, as before stated, are no longer with the regiment. The whole agitation arises from an utterly mistaken idea of the discipline and character of the regiment in question. The officers are, from the colonel down, as efficient and painstaking as any to be found wearing the uniform. What, then, is the real issue behind this blind prejudice? Is it race feeling? It certainly looks that way. In conclusion I will add that the attitude of the prominent citizens of South Denver remind me of Kipling's: "For it's Tommy this an' Tommy that an' 'Chuck 'im out, the brute!' But it's 'savior of 'is country' when the guns begin to shoot.' JUSTICE. The Oldest and Largest Fur and Millinery Store in Denver. You Are Never Dissappointed When You Buy Here. . . . .

Invitations have been issued by the University of Colorado for a conference of principals and superintendents of high schools of the state at Boulder Jan. 1st and 2nd. The Colorado Telephone Company has decided to expend between $700,000 and $800,000 for improvements and extensions in Denver and throughout Colorado and New Mexico. The taxpayers of Denver on January 19th will vote on the question of issuing about $1,000,000 of school bonds for the erection of new school buildings, repairs and additions. The advance in the price of tungsten from $5 to $6 a unit and the belief that it will go considerably higher soon has greatly stimulated development of tungsten claims in the Nederland district. The Loma club has been formed by Verner Z, Reed and a number of Denver people interested in the development of the Grand Valley. It is proposed to hold stated banquets at which Western slope affairs will be discussed. The course of the Cache la Poudre river has been changed for over a mile north of Greeley to prevent possible floods near the canning factory, and the flooding of the lowlands, 240 acres of which will be reclaimed and added to the city's residence district. If the Indian school at Fort Lewis near Durango is discontinued by the government an effort will be made to secure the site and building for the use of some state institution. There are a dozen buildings and 6,000 acres of land, a part of which is underlaid by coal. Owing to the rapid thinning out of young pine trees on the government forest reserve during the past few years, orders have been issued to the rangers in the Colorado district to prohibit the cutting of Christmas trees except where a necessity exists for the thinning of clumps. C. A. Brandenburg, chief weather observer for the Denver district, says this year beats the record for any similar period in the last twenty years in amount of snowfall since September 1st. Up to the 20th inst., 52.7 inches had fallen in Denver. The total precipitation for year to date is 1.77 inches above the average. To obtain a much-needed rest and to study conditions in Palestine and Rome, Dr. R. A. Carnine, superintendent of the Greeley district of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Colorado, is preparing to leave for the Holy Land, where he will spend the winter. Mr. Carnine will first visit Palestine and go from there to Rome. "Grandma" Petrie, said to be the oldest resident of Mesa county and one of the oldest women in the state, died at Grand Junction on the 19th inst., at the age of ninety-seven. A week before, she fell and sustained a broken hip. This injury, together with old age, was the cause of her death. She was a native of Syracuse, N. Y., and came to Grand Junction in 1888, living with her son, Charles H. Petrie. The following officers were chosen by the Colorado Scientific Society at its meeting in Denver on the 19th inst.: Franklin Guiterman, president; D. W. Brunton, first vice president; Charles W. Comstock, second vice president; William A. Johnston, secretary; John W. Richards, treasurer; W. F. Mills and George L. Cannon were chosen to serve on the executive committee. The affairs of the Colorado State Bank of Durango are now said to be practically settled. B. N. Freeman, president of the bank, and his associates have turned over to the receiver cash and securities to the amount of $175,000 in purchase of the bank assets, which in addition to the cash collected by the receiver, is sufficient to pay the total liabilities of the bank, which at the time of suspension were $350,000. The Colorado Museum of Natural History, situated in the City Park, at Denver, has received a most valuable gift from Henry M. Porter of this city consisting of what is known as the "Mary Kimball Pratt" collection of fossils, Indian relics, minerals, gems, old coins, and similar articles. The collection is said to be exceptionally valuable, containing something like 8,000 specimens, some of them of great value because of their rarity. It is said that the automobile owners of Colorado Springs have promised to contribute $5,000 toward the proposed boulevard from Colorado Springs to Canon City, provided the road is extended to the Royal Gorge. This is in line with the resolution adopted by the Canon City Merchants' Association, asking the State Legislature to appropriate $10,000 toward the projected Canon City-Colorado Springs road. Conrad Markus, who came to Colorado from Russia six years ago to work in the beet fields, has just purchased an 80-acre farm a mile west of Greeley, for $T3,000 from A. Z. Salomon of Denver, who has held the land twenty years. Salomon purchased 320 acres for $1.50 an acre and values his remaining tract at $150 an acre. Ten thousand packages of steam-cooked hominy and an equal number of packages of steam-cooked wheat is the donation of the Empson Packing Company of Longmont to the poor of Denver for the Christmas season. COLORADO AND SOUTHERN SOLD GOES TO JAMES J. HILL SYSTEM ACCORDING TO ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH. DETAILS NOT GIVEN OUT SALE PROMISES TO GREATLY BENEFIT COLORADO AND ADJACENT REGIONS. New York.—Leading interests in the Colorado & Southern Railway Company, including Edwin Hawley, who is said to be the largest individual stockholder, and Frank Trumbull, the president of the road, announced Saturday the sale of the road to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Com and other details of the transaction are withheld until next Tuesday, when the board of directors of the Colorado & Southern will hold a meeting for the purpose of completing the transfer of the property. The acquisition of the road by the Burlington gives the Hill system, the Burlington being owned by the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railroad companies, its long desired outlet to the coast of Texas. It will bear practically the same relationship to the Hill lines in the Gulf of Mexico territory that the Illinois Central bears to the Harriman system. Until Saturday's announcement it was generally supposed that James J. Hill's plan to get to the Gulf was by the purchase of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad. Denver.—In commenting on the reported sale of the Colorado and Southern, the Republican says: The announcement of the sale of the C. & S. to Hill means more to Colorado than appears on the face of it. Hill is known as an empire builder. His dream has been to get a line from Puget Sound to the Gulf of Mexico. He has always believed that immense traffic could be developed in this manner, and at the same time a rich territory opened. That he will bring about this dream is now a certainty, say railroad men. The Colorado & Southern, with its direct line from Denver to the Gulf, will be to the Hill system what the Illinois Central is to the Harriman lines. For a long time it was believed that Hill intended to get to the Gulf of Mexico by taking over the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. In fact it was reported several times that he had purchased that line. That he has given up all idea of taking over the M. K. & T. is now believed definitely settled. Plans for building small connecting links in the new trans-continental system are said to be already under way. Definite announcements will be made at the meeting of the board of directors of the Colorado & Southern next Tuesday. These plans, it is reported, include the construction of a line from Orin Junction into the Big Horn basin territory and the abandonment of a proposed line from Guernsey to Thermopolis, Wyoming, the main point in the Big Horn basin. With the purchase of the Colorado & Southern is transferred control of the Trinity & Brazos Valley railroad, recently constructed by the Colorado & Southern and the Rock Island. Not more than six weeks ago the Rock Island, which held a minority interest in the T. & B. V., sold its holding to the Colorado & Southern. This was the first move on the part of the Hill interests to get control of the Colorado & Southern. The T. & B. V. runs from Fort Worth to Gaiveston, and is an important link in the system, for it gives a direct gulf outlet. The Denver & Interurban, the electric line running between Denver and Boulder, is also included in the reported deal. Christian Scientists Win. Warrensburg, Mo.—There is no law in Missouri prohibiting the practice of healing by members of the Christian Science Church, according to a decision handed down by Judge Berry Thurmond in the Circuit Court. The case was brought to test the law, and Mrs. Lena A. Jaccard and Theresa M. Haywood, prominent Christian Science practitioners of Kansas City, were the defendants. They were charged with violating the laws that make it an offense to practice medicine or surgery or to treat the sick. McKinley Memorial New York.—A week-long dedicatory program for the McKinley memorial was concluded at the Metropolitan temple Sunday night with a service at which Vice President-elect Sherman presided and spoke. Other speakers were Rev. George Edward Reed, president of Dickinson college; Commissioner of Immigration Robert Watchhord and Henry W. Taft. Sale of Colorado & Southern Denied. New York.—The Herald says, with regard to the rumors that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad had bought or obtained an option on the Colorado & Southern, a director of the Burlington said Saturday that the Burlington has not purchased the road, has not an option on it and that the matter has not been before the board of directors. Edwin Hawley, recognized as the chief stockholder in the Colorado road, said: "No road has an option on the Colorado & Southern, and it has not been sold."

DIDN'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE Woman Was Satisfied with "Lamb" Chops That Cost Little. "We don't know what we are eating nowadays," said the New York woman plaintively. "Last Saturday I was in my butcher's getting the Sunday roast, and the woman who sat beside me was buying lamb chops; delicious, tender-looking ones, at only 16 cents a pound. Now my husband never eats lamb, and I never buy it in consequence; but I knew that that was an unheard-of price for such chops as those. After the woman had departed I said to the man who was serving me: "How on earth can you afford to sell lamb chops at 16 cents a pound?" "I suppose if I had been a customer who frequently invested in lamb I might still be in ignorance of the truth; but as the butcher knew I never bought that variety of meat he was frank about it. "'That isn't lamb,' he said. 'That's goat.'" REPORT OF SALE IS CONFIRMED JAMES J. HILL NOW IN CONTROL OF COLORADO & SOUTHERN RAILWAY. TRUMBULL TO RETIRE HILL SYSTEM WILL BE COMPLETE FROM PUGET SOUND TO GAL- Denver.—The Republican Tuesday morning says: The sale of the controlling interest in the Colorado & Southern railway was closed in New York yesterday and with it came the announcement that Pres. Frank Trumbull would resign temporarily from active business. The purchaser is the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway, better known as the "Burlington Road." With the acquirement of the Colorado & Southern, James J. Hill controls four of the largest railway systems in the country, with a total of about 23,357 miles. The sale was ratified at a meeting of Colorado & Southern directors in New York. By this deal Hill parallels the lines of his railroad enemy, E. H. Harriman, between the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, and realizes one of his great ambitions to put on his rails the bulk of the traffic between the Orient and the Atlantic ocean ports of two continents. This traffic carried from Puget Sound over the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads billed for Galveston, will all come through Denver and be carried south to the Gulf over the Colorado & Southern. What this means to the commerce of this city can be estimated far into the millions of dollars annually. The Colorado & Southern road will continue under the present management. The men who have aided in building up the system to its perfect condition are told by President Trumbull not to worry about their jobs—that there will be work under the new owners for more men than are now employed. It is expected the connecting link, Orin Junction to Thermopolis, Wyoming, will be constructed at once. The telegram from President Trumbull announcing the close of the sale was given out last night by W. A. Webb, assistant to Vice President A. D. Parker. It follows: New York, N. Y., Dec. 21, 1908. "A. D. Parker, 711 Cooper building, Denver, Colo: Mr. Hawley is just confirming sale of Colorado & Southern stock to the Burlington and is making the following announcement in connection with same. The Colorado & Southern lines are in snug shape in every respect. I have held continuously for about seven years a very considerable interest in them; during this period there have been various vicissitudes of business in the mining states and a severe panic, but the lines have been expanded in a conservative way, in strategic situation and they serve a growing country, so I have always had faith in them. The net earnings of the property to which Mr. Trumbull has given his undivided attention are about ten times what they were the first year of his receivership. The property is a good one, just as it is, but I can see that its future and usefulness to a large territory will be much enhanced by this arrangement. From the standpoint of all class of Colorado & Southern security holders and of every community along the line, as well as from the standpoint of its many employees, there could not have been a better purchaser than the Burlington, particularly because the two systems are so favorably situated toward each other. FRANK TRUMBULL." Terrible Snowslide Experience. Denver.—A Crested Butte dispatch says: Escaping one snowslide to be caught in another which buried him and swept his four horses to their death in the gulch, Andrew Mosher was rescued from death by his dog, only to be caught by a third slide and buried a second time several feet deep under the white terror of the mountains and was again dug out by his faithful dog. Mosher and W. F. Stockman started from Gothic with supplies for the Mountain King mine, six miles distant. They had gone four miles when the first slide swept over the trail so close that they were showered with white spray and fragments of debris which swirled under the cliff that protected them. Stockman turned back but Mosher continued toward the mine and was caught by the other two slides. He was severely injured, but managed to reach the mine. Stockman was found frozen nearly to death and injured by his battle with the elements. Both men were out three nights, and their escape from death is considered most remarkable. Hill vs. Harriman. Chicago.—The Tribune in a news article says: "By securing the 2,250 miles of the Colorado & Southern system, Mr. Hill has not only swelled the total of the lines controlled by him to nearly 24,000 miles, but by securing the long-distance outlet to the Gulf of Mexico and completing his route from the far Northwest to Galveston he has invaded his rival's territory just as Harriman has persistently strengthened his own position by pushing out new lines into the Northwest." ASKS FUNDS FOR HEALTH FARM ACTIVE CAMPAIGN STARTED BY THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. HOPE TO RAISE $75,000 LARGER QUARTERS ARE NEEDED AND MONEY HAS COME IN Denver.—An energetic campaign is about to be started by directors of the Y. M. C. A. in order to raise funds for the health farm located at Edgewater. The hope of the directors is that they may raise $50,000 or $75,000 for the furtherance of the work at the farm. Larger quarters are needed, as many of the most deserving young men are unable to find accommodations there. At the present time there are thirty-three men located at the farm. The capacity is limited to fifty persons. In winter there are usually several vacancies, but in the summer hundreds are turned away. The money raising campaign is to be undertaken in Colorado first and then in the East. Some of the wealthiest philanthropists have either refused to aid in the work or have put off making their donations until a later date. Although rebuffed for the present the Y. M. C. A. directors declare they will not give up but will keep at it until they raise all the money needed to carry on the work successfully. The Y. M. C. A. health farm is for indigent young men consumptives. A small charge is made, but the rates are so low and the terms of payment so easy that even the poorest young man can afford to live at the farm. Those who are totally without funds are taken care of without charge and render small services in exchange for their board and room. Tents and cottages are used in housing the sick men. Medical attention is given the patients without charge. The medical staff is headed by Dr. Canby, a well known Y. M. C. A. worker. Millions to Beet Growers. Denver.—A Greeley dispatch Sunday night says: Tomorrow morning the Great Western Sugar Company will pay the growers in the Greeley, Windsor and Eaton districts $415,000 for beets delivered since November 15th and with the payment made December 1st for beets delivered from November 1st to November 15th, which amounted to $305,000 for the three factories, the Sugar company has put into circulation in the Greeley district among the beet growers $715,000 this month. All but the siloed portion of the crop has been made into sugar. January 10th over $250,000 will be paid for siloed beets. This will make a total of approximately $3,000,000 paid to the beet growers in the Greeley district this season. Employes of the company will have received $250,000 during the campaign. All beets will be delivered by December 28th and by January 15th the campaign will end for this season. Up to this morning 11,550 acres of beets had been contracted for the Greeley factory, and Eaton and Windsor have each contracted several thousand acres. So eager are the farmers to continue to engage in the beet growing industry that all contracts it is believed will be signed by January 1st. The Sugar company will take 25,000 acres in the Greeley district next season, 3,000 acres more than were received this year. Field Superintendent Timothy says that during his residence of ten years in Colorado there never has been a better outlook for a beet crop the coming season than now. The heavy snowfall and the freezing of the ground particularly being counted favorable for the success of the beet crop. Orchard Heating. Denver.—A field demonstration on orchard heaters will be one of the features of the program for the seventh annual meeting of the Colorado State Horticultural Society, which will be held in the Albany hotel January 19th to 21st. One entire afternoon will be devoted to the demonstration, which will be made in the orchard on the Parfet farm near Mount Olivet. Transportation will be furnished free to members and a thorough test of the different heaters on the market will be made. Burial of a Veteran. Pueblo.—Impressive services were held Sunday by the G. A. R. and W.R. C. over the remains of Capt. William Armstrong, a veteran of the Civil War, who died late Saturday. Captain Armstrong was a pioneer of Pueblo and was a member of the association formed by survivors of the battle of Shiloh. He was marshal of the day at the famous Lincoln-Douglas debate in Ottawa, Ill., in August, 1858. It is reported that a $500,000 structure to be most attractive in architecture and a combination of a terminal depot for the new electric railway and a first-class hotel, is to be built on Union avenue in Pueblo, and that Sam F. Dutton of the Albany hotel of Denver has practically consented to take its management. Junius F. Brown, the Denver pioneer, left an estate of $1,005,712.14, of which $915,212.14 was liable to inheritance tax. Attorney General Dickson has reported the amount of the tax to be $18,304.20.

PRESIDENT ELECT TAFT'S heart seems to be in the right place and to beat normally even in the presence of the proudest sons of the colonial South. His poise seems to be quite as great as his averdupois, and that is weighing it some. It is a good thing to get a new kind of president every time we make a change of men, even though it does not involve a change of party. The next president, as he takes office, will be attended by a new hope, a new faith and a new pair of scales. NENT ELECT TAFT'S heart seems to be not normally even in the presence of the truth. His poise seems to be quite as great is weighing it some. It is a good thing every time we make a change of men be a change of party. The next president attended by a new hope, a new faith am RACE NATIONALIZATION. known as the Zionist movement among Jews in the United States recently because of the Israel Zangwill, an eminent Jewish author and an untiring leader of that movement. The encouragement and promote the return of the Israel to Palestine, and to rehabilitate the Jewish nation under their own government, will has achieved great distinction and power in a Christian country and under Covenant seems to have increased rather than race segregated and re-assembled nationalized over the world and forms a part of civilized nation, in each of which his personal reason of his wealth and his business activity a great or less extent, the object of which two thousand years of experience secure for the greater part of these ills is on. Rights surrounding the Jew are very simple Negro, if we except those conditions of whose cantile prominence to which the Jewero caries additional burdens by reason of development in the world's civilization. At the Zionist movement are interesting showing the probable trend of human ever any and every distinct race of people. For two thousand years the Jews have where have they been absorbed by any or any escaped the ban put upon their race. Racial character of their religion has to become assimilated with other races and remain true to their faith. On Negro is a Christian, but for other reasons with other races. If the history of the Negro will have a few years yet to a Zionist movement of his own awaiting future be safely predicted that it will not take to learn what he has to learn. WHAT is known as the Zionist movement among Jews has received a new impetus in the United States recently because of the visit to this country of Israel Zangwill, an eminent Jewish author of London, England, who is an untiring leader of that movement. The object of the movement is to encourage and promote the return of the Jewish people of all the world to Palestine, and to rehabilitate the re-gathered elements as a distinct nation under their own government. Mr. Zangwill has achieved great distinction and honor as an author and scholar in a Christian country and under Christian patronage, but this fact seems to have increased rather than lessened his desire to see his race segregated and re-assembled nationally. At present the Jew is scattered over the world and forms a part of nearly every civilized or semi-civilized nation, in each of which his presence is made prominent by reason of his wealth and his business activities, but everywhere he is, to a great or less extent, the object of race prejudice and oppression, which two thousand years of experience have failed to eradicate. The cure for the greater part of these ills is thought to lie in nationalization. The conditions surrounding the Jew are very similar to those atattending the Negro, if we except those conditions of wealth and commercial and mercantile prominence to which the Jew has attained, though the Negro caries additional burdens by reason of his color and his immature development in the world's civilization. The arguments for and against the Zionist movement are interesting to the Negro, therefore, as showing the probable trend of human events as they will probably affect any and every distinct race of people which loses its national entity. For two thousand years the Jews have been scattered, yet perhaps nowhere have they been absorbed by any other nationality and in that way escaped the ban put upon their race. But the distinct and entirely racial character of their religion has had much to do with their failure to become assimilated with other races, for they cannot intermarry and remain true to their faith. On the other hand the civilized Negro is a Christian, but for other reasons may not intermarry freely with other races. If the history of the Jewish people is any criterion, the Negro will have a few years yet to study the possibility of a Zionist movement of his own awaiting future development, though it can be safely predicted that it will not take the Negro two thousand years to learn what he has to learn. MR. BANQUO OF BROWNSVILLE. NT ROOSEVELT, in a special message last week, proposes the re-instatement urged without honor because of their allegation of Brownsville, Texas, in August, soldier confess himself guilty, if not of knowledge of the affair, which knowledge The message reveals the fact that a man progress under the direction of the if the state investigation a year ago, and allowed and hunted the discharged soldier PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, in a special message to Congress on Monday of last week, proposes the re-instatement of the colored soldiers discharged without honor because of their alleged participation in the shooting up of Brownsville, Texas, in August, 1906, on condition that each soldier confess himself guilty, if not of the actual shooting, then of a knowledge of the affair, which knowledge he has wrongfully concealed. The message reveals the fact that a secret investigation has been in progress under the direction of the war department since the close of the state investigation a year ago, and that special detectives have followed and hunted the discharged soldiers and employed every means to secure their confessions of the guilty conditions suspected and desired. As a result of this hounding, the alleged confession of one of the discharged soldiers, secured primarily by an illiterate Negro detective who wormed his way into the soldier's confidence, is cited, but with the statement that under outside advice the soldier now denies the confession. Present Secretary of War Wright, a Southerner and ex-confederate soldier, declares that a part of this confession was made to him in person, and the details thereof are made to cover the entire incident and to include nearly all the members of Company B of the Twenty-fifth regiment. The confession has been plainly edited by somebody with better ideas of carpentering and joining than of Negro character, and the ardent desire and desperate determination to make out a case is shamefully apparent. The President renews his previous conclusion that scarcely one of the soldiers was without guilty knowledge of the shooting, but he now suggests as extenuating circumstance, that they were cowed into giving false testimony by fear of the revenge of their fellows and that they were further persuaded and misguided by the advice of false friends, all of which is very silly. There are not one hundred Negroes in all these United States who could conduct a conspiracy as successfully as the theoretical conditions in this case of the administration against these soldiers require, and continue that conduct for two years against every secret machination and open menace of government power, such as has been employed. The revival of the case in this manner can be taken only as a new affront to the Colored people, who can now see no honor in the restoration to the army of the discharged soldiers under the present administration, or under any other administration which proceeds solely upon the conclusion of their absolute guilt. If those soldiers are guilty of the crime charged, the administration, would dishonor itself and damn the entire Negro people by re-instating them. Let justice be done though the heavens fall.

Nearly $1,000,000 will be given the horse owners in pursues and stakes at Los Angeles.

An agent will be appointed, who will receive a commission on the business, turning it over to a sick and accident fund. To every boy in Iowa who will take a pledge to use neither tobacco nor liquor, Samuel Saucerman, a wealthy Des Moines resident, will give $1, a cent a day for three years and another dollar at the end of three years. Mr. Saucerman is reputed to be worth $1,500,000. The new organization he is perfecting to help boys is to be known as "The Trimmer Band." H. P. Agar of Princeton, Indiana, whose family were trying to collect $27,000 life insurance in the belief that he was dead, has been discovered at San Benito, California, where he was in business under the name of R. A. Conner. He has been arrested and is charged with forgeries to the extent of $125,000. He fell from a barge on the Wabasan river and was reported to be drowned.

William Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, was operated on at London a few days since for cataract. The doctors are hopeful that he will completely recover his sight. It is hoped that the operation will restore his vision and improve his fast-failing health. On the many million dollars worth of buildings owned by the United States government in the Panama canal zone not one cent of insurance is carried. The government has spent $10,250,000 in buildings in the zone, which amount takes no account of the value of the buildings purchased from the French, both in the canal zone and the republic of Panama, nor value of the property in all the buildings, including the large amount of stores. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Senator Burkett of Nebraska made a strong argument in favor of postal savings banks. The Senate has confirmed the appointments of Byron P. Blair, register of the land office at Montrose, and J. H. Weiss, receiver at Del Norte, Colorado. Capt. John W. Batin, chief of the bureau of steam engineering, has been found to be incapacitated and will be placed upon the retired list with the rank of rear admiral.

President Roosevelt stated that there was no truth in a printed story that he had had a disagreement with President-elect Taft about the candidacy of the latter's brother, Charles P. Taft, for the senatorship from Ohio. Secretary Loeb at the White House stated that in the event of Secretary of State Root being elected to the Senate from New York, January 16th, he will probably resign his present office and be succeeded by Assistant Secretary Bacon. Secretary Newberry has advised President-elect Taft that the armored cruisers North Carolina and Montana will be placed at his disposal when Mr. Taft and his party, that is to be composed of a number of engineers, go to Panama next month. Secretary Garfield has told western senators that the withdrawal of phosphate lands in the west is to be temporary and was made primarily to protect home interests from prospective acquisition of these lands by foreign corporations and the phosphate trust, which, it had been reported, had $50,000,000 ready to use in acquisition of all available phosphate beds. The House has passed the bill which passed the Senate at the last session, appropriating $25,000 to pay William Radcliffe, a British subject, for damages caused by the destruction of his fish hatchery and other property at Delta, Colo., by a mob in 1901. This bill has been before Congress seven years and originally was introduced by Senator Teller. Before the House committee on agriculture Chief Forester Pinchot explained his reasons for asking for nearly $2,000,000 increase in the appropriation for national forests. He urged the necessity for providing 1,400 more foresters and government officials in connection with the policing and sale of timber of the forest reservations, and asked for a larger fund for the establishment of trails and roads throughout the reserves. President Roosevelt has vetod the joint resolution recognizing the recent interior department survey and location of the thirty-seventh parallel, which by law forms the boundary between Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma. He cites the fact that the proposed adjustment would take five post-offices from Colorado and add them to New Mexico without the assent of the Legislature of Colorado. Senator Clark of Wyoming has introduced a bill relieving J. B. Schoenfelt of Wyoming, former Indian agent at Muskogee, Okla., from liability for defalcation of his clerk, Lyman K. Lane, of $7,444 during the period of his employment under Shoenfelt. At the request of W. G. M. Stone, president of the Colorado State Forestry Association, Senator Guggenheim has amended his bill providing for instruction in forestry in agricultural colleges, so that the appropriations for this purpose may be derived from any money paid to or received by the forest service.

Princeton had a splendid player in—Pe—you will remember little Poe?—and Prof. Norton, thinking of 'The Raven' and 'Annabel Lee,' said to the lad at his side: "He plays well, that Poe." "Doesn't he? the youth bried. "Is he,' said Prof. Norton, 'any relation to the great Poe?" "Any relation?' said the youth frowning. 'Why, he is the great Poe.'" Schools for Missionaries. The immense Northfield schools and colleges for the training of missionaries and preachers were erected out of the profits derived from the sale of Moody and Sankey's "Sacred Songs and Solos." Miss Ada Ellen Bayly ("Edna Lyall") built St. Peter's church, Eastbourne, England, with part of the money she received from "Donovan" and "We Two."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words.

Turning the New Leaf Turning the New Leaf Tis well that o'er our last year's work We take a short review. Margaret Scott Hall. As the Years Mark Time for Mankind The old-fashioned sun dial, after all, was the true time piece. That little into the life of things." How many a rose of morning and ripe fruit of the golden noon shall then return to him the science of life, which permits no lost good, nor wasted atom even, in all creation's bounds, may gloriously declare. "Where are the snows of yesteryear?" whispers the tender poet, but the green of spring and the bloom of summer are nature's answer to his yearning cry. 1909 pocket sun dial that we are told counted all the hours "when the sun shone" made the perfect record of human days. The noisy clocks and remorseless calendars that told off the worst and weiest of time's movements literally spoiled the reckoning. History began to build itself upon And shall man be less blessed than nature in garnering the treasures of the year? Is that evil genius, that the ancients beheld standing at the door of the new year, forever to give lethe to drink that he may wander blindly into the unknown way, shorn of the best boons and talismans of the past? Ah, the poets who try life and love know better. wretchedness of a people, and all creation to take note of time by its loss instead of its golden gain in the hours of perfect sunlight. But the reaction has set in. It is the glad hours and not the sad ones that are to be made to count. Each new year is a leaf of our love's rose; It falls, but quick another rose leaf grows: Let us tarry awhile At the sign of the smile So is the flower from year to year the same. is the watchword which even plious pilgrims are sending out to upset the ancient reckoning. "Let the smile become the Christian's rather than the devil's sign" they cry in chorus, and the joy of the spirit become the measure of its days. Good Isaac Barrow's picture of the child of heaven "smiling always with a never-ending serenity of countenance and flourishing in an immortal youth" has at last taken hold of the Christian world and, spurred on by the new thought rhapsodies, promises to turn back the calendar of all our days. Counting time by heart throbs is no new method, to be sure, but the kind of heart, throbs that "always find man young and always keep him so" were rather lost with the sun and nature worship of the early world. But riches, for the dead leaves feed the flame. Thus they read the riddle and the "million-centuried" sweetness that goes with it to-day. Neither is man drugged by any god or genius but the one within him, that he may "tell no tales" and carry no tokens from the departing year. What he tells to cheer or depress his comrades, what he carries to help or hinder both them and himself, is in the power of his own open-eyed choice. Perhaps the best hint that was ever offered to guide him is the brief and pointed one given by the sage, when he writes: "A man should make life and nature happier to us, or he had better never been born." It is the one pre-eminently in the air at the present moment. It would fill all the newspapers in the land and drive the quotation-abhorring editors mad if one-quarter of the stout maxims of this nature which the times offer should demand place in their columns. Already their humorous writers are trying to demoralize them and send some of the cheerful and cheering-up people over to his Satanic majesty, where no doubt they are needed since the dry season set in. When men went to nature for their reckoning it was as Wordsworth tells us: They felt As if the moving time had been a thing as steadfast as the scene On which they gazed themselves away. Centuries young were those children of the morning, before even the sun dial had begun to tell them of the flight of time. It remains true still that whether nature or the soul strikes the joy-note in the human breast, the poet's question rises instinctively to the lips: Life's Logic Quaint. If there be such a Satanic monarch, probably he loves the cheerful sinner just as heaven must love the cheerful saint. Yet the logic of life is against him. The smile is not legitimately the devil's sign. It is the pessimist who is playing into his hands, treating his sovereignty as if it could overthrow heaven's and all the power of the Eternal Goodness. To act as if they had a faith worth smiling over would seem to be the altitude of men who believed in a sovereign of love and omnipotence rather than one of malevolence and black arts, and it may be that the Christian world is at last finding it out. Certainly the Gospel evangel "Rejoice, rejoice!" is sounding anew through all the realms of Christendom and becoming a part of culture and philosophy everywhere. Fuller's counsel: "Be happy in the present moment and put not off being so to time to come. O what have I to do with time, For this the day was made. Man Has His Choice. Good or bad, the years come out of the bosom of the infinite bearing some boon from the eternal for man to lay hold of if he will. To choose the permanent from out the mutable and fleeting is the life secret they carry, and how much hangs upon the choice eternity alone can tell. There are watchmen at the gates who assure us that each year brings gifts peculiar to itself, and one year or one world does not restore the lost offerings of the other.

I Dear One's Reminiscence Seemed Somehow to Lack Romance. They sat on the sofa. They had just come to a mutual understanding, and he had measured her finger for the engagement ring, and they were in the first throes of tender reminiscence. "You do not remember," he said, in a trembling voice, "you do not remember when you first saw me?" "Yes, I do." "Did any thrill or throb tell your heart this happy moment would come? No; that could not be expected." "Yes, something did seem to whisper that we might become man and wife." "My darling." And he kissed her fondly. "Yes; I remember I saw you from the window leaving the house, and I thought you were bandy-legged, and I thought how awful it would be to marry a bandy-legged man, but it was only the glass in the window that was uneven and made you look so." ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM. No Night's Rest for a Year and Limit of His Endurance Seemed Near —Owes Recovery to Cuticura. "My son Clyde was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scans which he would rub until they fell off. Then blood and matter would run out and that would be worse. Friends coming to see him said that if he got well he would be disfigured for life. When it seemed as if he could possibly stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That was the first night for nearly a year that he slept. In the morning there was a great change for the better, in about six weeks he was perfectly well. Our leading physician recommends Cuticura for eczema. Mrs. Algy Cockburn, Shiloh, O. June 11, 1907."

Constant coughing irritates and inflames the lungs, inviting the ravaging attacks of deadly disease. Piso's Cure soothes and heals the inflamed surfaces, clears the clogged air passages and stops the cough. The first dose will bring surprising relief. Piso's Cure has held the confidence of people everywhere for half a century. No matter how serious and obstinate the nature of your cold, or how many remedies have failed, you can be convinced by a fair trial that the ideal remedy for such conditions is A VARIETY OF EXPEDIENTS. Little Sinner Was Providing for Future Emergencies. Muriel, a five-year-old subject of King Edward VII., has been thought by her parents too young to feel the weight of the rod, and has been ruled by moral suasion alone. But when, the other day, she achieved disobedience three times in five minutes, more vigorous measures were called for, and her mother took an ivory paperknife from the table and struck her smartly across her little bare legs. Muriel looked astounded. Her mother explained the reason for the blow. Muriel thought deeply for a moment. Then, turning toward the door with a grave and disapproving countenance, she announced in her clear little English voice: "I'm going up-stairs to tell God about that paper-knife. And I shall tell Jesus. And if that doesn't do, I shall put flannel on my legs!"—Everybody's Magazine. EVIDENCE. "Is your friend Lifeman a vegetarian? "I believe he is." "What makes you think so? Have you ever dined at his house?" "No; but I've smoked one or two of his cigars." Louie is the brightest youngster in the South side. If you doubt this ask Louie's father. According to the same authority Louie's mother consented to the sacrifice of his curls recently and he was taken to the nearest barber shop. He was left unguarded while the deed was being committed and the horrid barber—just think of the poor mother's feelings—used the clippers. So when Louie's father returned for him the boy proudly exhibited a hairless poll for his inspection. "Well," exclaimed the father, "he didn't leave much." "No," chirped Louie, "but it'll grow out again all right, 'cause he left the seeds in"—Kansas City Times. Must Have Meant Him. "I wish I knew," said Cholly Saphead, "if I have any show of winning Miss Roxie Swellman." "Well," answered Miss Peppery, "from a remark of hers I think you're her choice." "Aw, really?

SAMMY'S FEELINGS. "Sammy," said his mean uncle, "how would you feel if I were to give you a penny?" "I think," replied Sammy, "that I should feel a little faint at first, but I'd try and get over it." Personal Observation. "Boys," said the sweet young teacher, as she smiled graciously upon her Sunday school class. "it seems to me that this lesson teaches that what one begins another continues or completes. All work does not devolve upon any one person. Can you illustrate with an incident from your own observation?" "I've know father to be on a tear all night," timidly informed little Boby, "and then mother would continue to rip him up the back all next morning." Didn't Harmonize.

BROWN, Secretary 17 Executive Office CHICAGO, ILL GS & Beggs, Fort Logan, Colorado. and Registered Sheep of Various ERN STOCK SHOW completed at a day and evening. 5 THE costume at the left is violet satin finished cloth. The blouse is trimmed in an odd way with bands of the material, buttons and straps of cord. The plastron and sash are of black liberty, the latter knotted low in front with fringed ends. The wrist ruffles and those on the blouse are of lace, as is also the little gulmpe. The plain skirt is simply finished at the bottom with rows of stitching. Green velvet is used for the other costume. The blouse, with lapped taller seams, crossed slightly in front where it is ornamented with passmementerie buttons. The wide revers are also ornamented with these buttons and with motifs of passmementerie. The crossed waistcoat is of tan-colored satin, trimmed with cord and embroidered dots. The chemisette is of dotted tulle, the girdle is of green liberty. The long sleeves and the skirt are trimmed to correspond with the blouse. PARTY DRESS OF VELVETEEN. Rich Costume Designed for Girl of from Fourteen to Sixteen Years. There are so many beautiful shades in velveteen that it is difficult to know which to select; the skirt of this is quite plain; it is a circular shape. The velveteen is arranged in one deep fold over each shoulder, and smaller folds form the sleeve. The ROSES ON ALL WINTER HATS. Of Every Color and Hue, and the Larger the Better. Roses of every color and hue, big as cabbages, are smart on winter hats. It is the color that takes. Of course a luxuriant big rose, though of satin and silk and in the shades of pink never to be seen on a real flower, helps to enliven the feelings. A rose hats makes A vest is of finely tucked soft silk and insertion, and the under-sleeves are the same; the waist-band is shaped and cut in scallops in the front, but toning over. Materials required: 10 yards velvet teen, 6 yards insertion, 1 yard silk 36 inches wide. The Smart Scarf. Just at the present moment the silks being used for the manufacture of the smartest scarfs have patterns which would seem to owe their inspiration to various phases of nature. Fruits and flowers figure very largely in the designs now as do all sorts of flowering plants and vines. The newest scarfs of this type show another phase of nature in their design. They have round balls of color suggesting suns crossed by fleecy clouds. As the majority of these scarfs are made of gray brocade, the cloud effect is perfectly apparent. One had red "suns," while dark blues and browns also appear in some of the patterns. The Little Bertha All sorts of berthas are used for trimming the draped bodies of crepe, voile and chiffon cloth gowns. Sometimes these berthas are of broadcloth in a matching tone and embroidered in self-colored silks. Again they are of coarse net soutached, embroidered or appliqued in self or contrasting colors; but in nearly every instance they are shaped like the erstwhile popular jumper—the shoulder straps terminating just below the bust line and at the top extending out over the sleeve. To accompany these berthas there are bandings to finish the sleeve and narrow edges to finish the collar. ROSES ON ALL WINTER HATS. Of Every Color and Hue, and the Larger the Better. Roses of every color and hue, big as cabbages, are smart on winter hats. It is the color that takes. Of course a luxuriant big rose, though of satin and silk and in the shades of pink never to be seen on a real flower, helps to enliven the feelings. A rose hat makes one feel positively young, and young faces more than ever like flowers themselves. The ribbon roses which adorn a dressy hat just from Paris are made of many shades of pink satin ribbon in one instance, and in another of curious shades of dead white and greeny white to look like a bride rose. It may seem folly to pay four dollars for a single artificial rose, yet that is what fashion is doing, and the ribbon roses cost as much if not more. "The keynote of the year is simple elegance," said the milliner as she carefully extricated a large hat to fit on my head for the reception. Simple elegance." Truly it looked so. It was a turban, rather large, and over the maline finished frame was folded a point lace scarf with little ermine and sable tails rounding the crown. A narrow twist of vieux bleu supple ribbon gave the color note—that was all. Other turbans—the coming hats—were as superb in scarfs of ottoman silk in rich colors. Cretonne Bed Spreads. The renewal of things Colonial has brought about the fashion for bed spreads of old world chintz. These substitute the spreads of Marselles. They hang nearly to the floor, are slashed to fit the two lower posts, and are edged with three-inch linen lace. There is an oblong piece made to match for the pillows. It is always better to use what is known as day pillows under this. They are stuffed with a hard substance and made to stand firm and full. Fancy Muffs. Fancy muffs will be a fad of the season, and in them there is a chance for employing all the cleverness in design and needlework that a woman possesses. In a muff brocade and feathers may be most charmingly combined, and a neckpiece to match may be evolved. Black velvet with black ostrich tips can be worked together with astonishingly artistic results, while artificial flowers, either as a substitute or in combination, are lovely. The Turnover Back The very stiff linen collar has fallen into disrepute except for business wear. Softer neck effects are considered desirable, and the sheer, embroidered turnovers are being worn again in combination with fluffy jabots, rabat ties and tasseled silk or velvet cravats. Worn thus, the turnover, of course, fastens in front like a linen collar, and the edges are held neatly together by a fancy brooch. Silk Skirt; Cloth Coat. Among the best of the new costumes is seen the combination of Ottoman silk and liberty broadcloth. The skirt is of silk, long, flowing, and untrimmed. The coat is also long, is of the cloth, and usually has revers of silk. Annual Entertainment East Turner Hall Monday Evening, Dec. 28, 1908 THE BIG DOINGS OF THE SEASON.

Arabian System of Making Coffee Has Much to Commend It—Good Cement for Mending of Broken China. Arabian Coffee—The Arabian plan of making coffee is to boil the grounds from one meal for about an hour and a half, to strain it, and to use the liquid part boiling hot next dav. By this method, the small amount of nourishment which coffee contains is extracted and the flavor of the coffee is improved. Paper Bags—Never store food for any length of time in paper bags. The paper of such bags is manufactured from coarse and dirty rags, which are, however, to some extent cleansed and sterilized during manufacture, but the paste with which the bags are stuck is of the coarsest description, and the manufacture of the bags is not always carried on amid the most sanitary conditions. Good tins or earthware or glass jars with well-fitting lids answer the purpose best. Broken China—An excellent cement for broken china can be made by mixing lime to a paste with the white of an egg. A little should be smeared on the broken edges, which should be pressed tightly together, and kept in position by tying with tape or by straps of stamp edging. The great secret in mending any fracture, no matter whether china with cement or wooo with glue, is to use as little as possible of the adhesive substance, and to press the broken edges very firmly together. Color Stains—Often a garment has become stained by a color which has run out of another when many garments were all washed together or when a moist garment has been worn over another and imparted its color. The garment should be covered at once with plenty of clear cold water and left for 12 hours, then hung out to dry. Remove Glass Stopper—Wind a soft stout string around the neck of the bottle twice and while some one holds it draw the string back and forth at great speed. This friction heats and expands the neck so that the stopper is easily removed. Draw Curtains—A satisfactory substitute for a brass rod is a piece of narrow band elastic drawn through and sewed securely at each end and catching in a loop of narrow tape. The length of the elastic should be about two inches less than the width of the windows and the loops caught over a hook, nail or screw at each side of the casement. This will keep the top edge of the curtain in a straight line. Toothbrushes—A toothbrush, like shoes, will wear much longer if it is alternated with another toothbrush and thus is wet only every other day. Every toothbrush should either stand up or hang up, thus allowing all moisture to dry off quickly. Wicker Ware—Stains on willow or wicker furniture may be readily washed off with hot water and soap, and when thoroughly dried in the sun the cleansed parts, if shellacked, will look just like the rest of the chair, table or settee. This treatment is only for the pieces that have a natural finish. English Ginger Beers Put into an earthenware vessel two and half pounds of loaf sugar, an ounce and a half of whole ginger bruised slightly, one ounce cream of tartar and two lemons sliced. Cover with three gallons of boiling water; let starch until lukewarm; then add a yeast cake softened in lukewarm water and spread on a slice of toasted bread. Let this stand all night to work. In the morning strain through muslin, bottle and cork very tightly, tying the corks down. It is ready for use in two or three days. Golden Din. Trim crust from six slices of bread, toast on both sides and dip each slice in a deep dish containing a little hot milk, in which a tablespoon of butter has been melted. When moistened, take out, sprinkle with salt, and lay in another dish. Take a quart of milk, bring to boiling point and thicken with two tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in a little cold milk. Stir in two tablespoons butter; when melted add beaten yolks of three eggs and pour over toast in dish. Apple Puree. Peel three-quarters of a pound of apples, put them in a stewpan with a tiny piece of cinnamon or other flavoring, half a pint of water, and two ounces of loaf sugar; boil to a pulp, then add a few drops of sap green or apple green, and rub through a sieve, then warm and use. It can also be used cold, and is nice for serving with milk puddings, etc. Stuffed Baked Eggplant Boil gently a large eggplant 20 minutes; remove from the water, cut into halves, take out the inside and chop; mix with as much bread crumbs, plenty of salt, pepper and a cup of chopped nuts; fill the two shells, bake till brown, basting several times with mixed butter and hot water; serve in the shells. Kippered Herrings These are dainties much prized in England. Remove the herrings from the can and place them on a platter, sprinkle with pepper and lemon juice, brush with butter, and cover with the liquor from the can. Heat thoroughly, and serve with a garnish of parsley and lemon. Is Now Prepared To Do All Kinds of Job Printing? Commercial, Fraternal.
