Negro Loosing out Difficulties in S HOLD ON TO JOBS. With the coming of spring there seems to be among our people, as well as others, a disposition to change localities and work. The old nomadic spirit rises with the sap and we must be on the move. With the very recent lessons of a severe winter fresh in our minds, One would imagine there would be an inclination to hold on to the job. There is very little if anything gained to the laborer who moves about. He gives up a certainty for an uncertainty, together with the vague hope of easier work and better wages. Nothing substantial comes to the man, who moves about seeking easy work and good pay. All work is hard and every job has its unpleasant features. The man or people who succeed are the ones who patiently, and honestly undertake to do what is before them, and then try to save something out of their perhaps meagre earnings. Despite the fact that we have had many of our people out of work during the past winter, and that our people must compete in the industrial market with a constantly increasing foreign element trained in the strictest school of economy, we have held our own fairly well, and there has been little suffering. But with spring many are leaving their work, going to other places. This disposition should be discouraged and our men, and women, boys and girls, who have work should stick closer to it and give to their employer the very best there is in them. All must realize that industrially, they are "their brother's keeper." That if they do well, they make it possible for another of the race to find remunerative employment. The business men and people of Denver are making a special effort to build up the city and just now there is much work going on. The Chinaman, the Jap, the Greek and Italian are all active in the field. They are trained to work and to "make time." If we are to hold what we have we must practice the same. Make it an imperative rule to be on time, and render good service, thereby holding your jobs. THE PARTY STRAIGHT. The Colorado Statesman has several times had something to say about sticking to the party. We have not urged this because we believe the Republican party to be always right, but we know the party is more often right than the Democratic party. With the few months' history of the Democratic party in power, it is better to be a defeated Republican than a victorious Democrat at this time. The sorry spectacle of the governor of a great state, vetoing appropriation bills not because they are unjust but because of a lack of funds, is a sight not calculated to inspire great confidence in the controlling party. During the recent campaign a gang of Afro-American political free-booters went up and down the state extolling the many virtues of reorganized Democracy. They caught some of our people. Some of our able young men went away after false gods, hoping that in the making up of his jewels they would be among the favored. But the records fail to show any reasonable number of colored appointees. Today there are fewer Negroes holding appointments of any kind or character under the state and city government than there has been for many years. What a people may do in the hour of defeat and trouble is a measure of their fidelity and trustworthiness. True Republicans black or white will go down with their party and courageously face the enemy, while laboring to regain lost prestige. While not receiving at this time, a share in the results of the election, the Negro in the past has received much in the way of consideration at the hands of the party. What we must do is to get together and push our best and most experienced leaders to the front. Being careful to select such men as our leaders who hold the advancement of the race above personal preference. The right kind of leadership is what the Colorado Negro needs and not splitting up with various political parties. Out here he has all the rights, civic and social, enjoyed by any other class. He merely needs intelligent and proper guidance. Let the pessimist go, and stick to the party straight. A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT. Hunting around among our people, one runs up against queer situations. Especially is this true if one is seeking to secure readers and subscribers for a journal published in the interest of the race. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House onizing The ADC E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Negro editors as a general thing are to modest to advertise their productions as the equals of the great dailies, but feel that they are entitled to a reasonable share of the literary patronage of the race. The most frequent obstacle a Negro solicitor runs against is the statement that, "I am taking a morning and evening paper and can't afford to pay for more." This is the hardest proposition to meet and convince our people they should have some paper devoted entirely to the presentation and promotion of the Negroes' cause in his home. Some of our daily papers are very friendly to the race and often speak and in our defense, but as a general thing news and comment found in them concerning the race is a highly exaggerated report of some crime or presumed offense against the law. A constant perusal of such poisons the mind of the public at large and tends to vitiate the ambition of the members of the race in their effort for higher things. Then again we are met with the remark, "I haven't the time to read." This and a lot of hogwash used as an apology for the failure to subscribe and pay for a Negro journal. "Haven't time to read." Our people have time for every kind of frivolity and pleasure. The men find time from their work to wander, about the streets and waste time in saloons and clubs. Yet they haven't time to read. Our women find time from their work to parade the streets, visit and swap gossip. Yet they haven't time to read. If it were possible to have them spend an hour of their time each day reading something instructive, something which would enable them to see more clearly the duties of life and to put brains in whatsoever they find to do, the result would be a transformed Negro population ere many moons. Washington Letter The State Department has given it out that the Liberian Commission would be made up of only two members instead of three. Mr. Morgan Shuster's place will not be filled. This leaves Mr. Scott, and the white member already mentioned, to complete the work intended for this body. The Emancipation of the Negroes in the District of Columbia was celebrated last Friday. The whole affair was of the quiet and most respectable character, the colored people, observing the event by going into their churches where they listened to addresses, music and the like. Senator Bradley of Kentueky, made the principal address of the day. There seems to be some difficulty on the part of the State Department in its effort to secure a complete commission to visit Liberia. A full commission is no sooner announced before we are informed of another resignation, the latest one that of Mr. William Morgan Shuster. Mr. Shuster came to the city last week and it is said learned for the first time that he had been given a place on the commission. He promptly requested the State Department to allow him to resign, stating that he had been away from America for nine years in the Philippine service and that he desired to remain at home awhile. The commission was to have sailed on the 20th, but this unexpected resignation will probably change the plans and delay the departure. It becomes an interesting question now who will be selected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Shuster's withdrawal. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, who seems to be the principal figure in the preliminary work here could throw no light on the new situation, claiming that the States Department has a rule against the giving out information by anyone except designated officials, and was therefore not privileged to speak of what will be the turn of the new situation or of any of the affairs of the commission. There are quite a number of colored men in the city and more arriving, who are said to be of the "big office caliber" and there are also all manner of rumors afloat concerning vacancies in the "big" offices and the probable appointments to be made for these places. It is reported that Mr. Laing Williams, of Chicago, a standing candidate for the office of Register and Treasurer, has been in the city for some time. We suppose incognito because there can be found but few who will even admit of his presence here. Statements coming from Chicago are crediting Mr. Williams with having the indorsement of a host of influential men, including Dr. Washington, who it will be remembered supported Mr. Williams in his Registorship fight, made just before Dr. Vernon was appointed. It is thought, however, Dr. Vernon is so secure now in his office, that no influence will be able to dislodge him. A DENVER COMPOSER. Elmer Bowman and Chris. Smith, well known song writers, have formed a vandelle act, and opened Monday at the Bijou Theatre, Brooklyn. The act is known as the Smith-Bowman Trio, Mrs. Smith being a member. N. Y. Age. Elmer Bowman whose name is mentioned in the above article spent his boyhood days in Denver, his mother being Mrs. Dennis Burns. Prof. W. H. Council, the president of Alabama State Normal School at Normal, Ala., is dead after a lingering spell of sickness. Prof. Council was one of the well known educators of the South and had done much to advance the progress of his race. He was an eloquent speaker, a hard worker and in many respects a remarkable man. Springfield, Ill.—Only the Negroes who suffered at the hands of the mob of Aug. 14 and 15, or their heirs can recover damages for death or injury from the city under the statute relative to mobs, according to a decision rendered in the Circuit Court, sustaining the demurrer of the city in the cases of a number of whites who were killed and injured during the race riots. Colored girls win class debate in the junior English class at the High school in Colorodo Springs, recently. "Resolved, That the Students of the High School should be required to study Latin for at least two years," the two colored girls, Miss Cora Alexander and Miss Eva P Montgomery, representing the negative, defeated their white ypponents, Miss Hazel Lombard and Miss Jessie Dixson, by a core of 20 to 2. The members of the class acted as judges. Sally J. McCall whose will was recently filed, bequeathed the Andover building, in Cincinnati, to four white trustees for a Negro industrial school. To the chronic higher education brethren who are kicking because "it is a part of the delicate attempt to reinslave the Negro to manuel labor" that famous reply is best: "There is a difference between working and being worked." P. S. Everhart of Red Oak, Ia., has through hard work and economical management made his way from a poor newspaper boy until now he is one of the largest and most successful music dealers in Southern Iowa. He has just had a piano made in Chicago bearing his name, "The Everhart," he also owns several branch music houses in other towns near Red Oak. Pearl as he is known is a single young man, a credit to the race, the first instance perhaps in America where special made pianos bearing a colored man's name. Hot Springs, Ark., Charles F. Hodges, secretary, and W. S. Gardner, exalted ruler of a local Negro lodge of Elks, were fined NO. 32 $25 each here today when the Circuit Court sustained a lower court's conviction on a charge of violating the State law which prevents the wearing of an emblem or insignia of a secret fraternity of which one is not a member. The design is of much importance, as, under the same statute, Negro Odd Fellows or Negro Masons may be proceeded against. The Negroes set up in defense that they were properly chartered as the "I. B. P. O. E." instead of the "B. P. O. E." but the court and jury ruled that the difference was vague, and misleading. As a recognition of the faithful services rendered the company for more than half a century, the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company has presentd Mr. Madison White with a gold medal. Mr. White is now one of the oldest employees now with the company having begun with them on the eighth day of June, 1857. The medal which he wears now in token of the esteem in which he is held is of gold and bears on its face this inscription: "Madison White, 50 years in service of L. & N. Railroad." Mr. White preferred this to the annual barbecues such as was given two years ago. Washington, D. C. April 20. Thorough official investigation will be made of the reported lynching of William Wright, a Negro and an American citizen, at Livingstone, Guatemala, on Dec. I5 last. The State Department has so instructed the American minister at Guatemala. As the result of a quarrel in which Wright struck a native on the head with a lantern, inflicting minor injuries, a mob attacked Wright, beating him on the head with a pistol, pounding him in the chest with an axe and cutting him with a machete and finally lynching him. The State Department is determined, if the facts be found as reported to Washington, that Guatemala must promptly punish the murderers and remove the officials responsible for the delay and failure of justice. Wilmington, Del., April 18 Rev. W. E. Greenfield, pastor of the Silverbrook M. E. church, has provided an innovation in church work which is resulting in good attendance at his services. He had received as an excuse that a number of mothers could not attend church services because they had no one with whom to leave their children. The pastor, therefore, established a nursery in the basement of his church, and in this he placed young women to care for the children, and a number of articles with which to amuse them. The plan worked successfully and the nursery had nearly one hundred children to look after, and their happy mothers attended the church services and enjoyed them.

The French newspapers in general approve the dethronement of Sultan Abdul Hamid, and express the hope that the Young Turks will profit by the lesson of recent events and show the same self-possession in the exercise of the government as they displayed in winning a victory. The seismic disturbances have ceased throughout Portugal. Everyone is greatly impressed with the courage and energy of King Manuel, who, after directing the firemen in Lisbon when the first and most violent shock occurred on Friday, set out with physicians and supplies for the districts where the destruction was the greatest. The new Sultan of Turkey is reported to have said to the English and Americans who congratulated him, "I wish to send a message to Europe and the entire world: I have ever been an ardent supporter of the cause of enlightenment, liberty and progress." Promoters of Marathon races throughout the country have been called to a meeting to be held in New York for the purpose of adopting rules for such competitions and particularly to create a blank list and establish maximum purse money for the runners.

The new Sultan of Turkey is said to bear a remarkable resemblance to his dethroned brother. His lips are thick and slightly protruding; he has the same curve to the nose and his hair is untinged with gray, but in other ways he shows signs of Time's ravages. By the breaking of a rope fire escape Miss Jeanette Tandy of Vevay, Ind., a sophomore at Wellesley College, Mass., fell two stories and suffered serious injuries. Miss Tandy was fulfilling the college requirement that each student at intervals make a descent on the fire escape. The deposition of Abdul Hamid as Sultan of Turkey, so far as he personally is concerned, is not regretted in England. For years English diplomats have been fighting against the intrigues emanating from the Yildiz palace and they never really knew whether the Sultan was their enemy or their friend. The will of the late George C. Thomas of Philadelphia, just been made public, disposes of an estate valued at $10,000,000. It gives each of his three sons and a daughter a million each and devises most of the remainder to his widow, including his priceless gallery of paintings. The reign of Abdul Hamid II. ended April 27th with his deposition and the accession of his brother, Mohammed Reschad Effendi, as Mehmed V. The two houses of the Turkish Parliament approved the decree of deposition, which was read by the Sheikh ul Islam, chief of the Ulemas and supreme judge on ecclesiastical questions. An armed band headed by leaders of the Young Turks' army, entered the palace at Constantinople late on the night of April 25th and, overpowering the Sultan's bodyguard of Fusiliers, seized Abdul Hamid and hurried him from the palace. Mohammed Rechad Effendi, the heir apparent, was at once proclaimed Sultan and installed on the throne.

TAFT EULOGIZES GENERAL GRANT SAYS HE WAS THE "VERY GENIUS OF WAR TO SUPPRESS STRUCK AT THE ENEMY SPIRIT SHOWN BY GRANT AND LEE AT APPOMATTOX IS NOW TRIUMPHANT Philadelphia.—President Taft was the principal speaker Tuesday at the Grant birthday dinner of the Union League Club and paid a striking tribute to the soldier President. Incidentally he said a defeat at times would not hurt the Republican party. Mr. Taft was sharply criticised a year ago because of references to General Grant, and he took advantage of this opportunity to express anew his admiration for General Grant as a man as a soldier and as president. After making complimentary references to the Union League's patriotic support of the Union army during the war, Mr. Taft said: "It is peculiarly fitting that this club should celebrate the birthday of that man who then was coming into prominence and upon him hung, it would seem, the whole destinies of this nation. "It is not for me, in the presence of a gentleman who knew him, who served with him, who ran the risk of life and death with him, to descent upon his life, his peculiar virtues, or attempt to picture his character at length in his company. "But there are certain things with respect to General Grant that today come back with reference to our passing life. They said Grant had not the military genius that other generals displayed in the war. To my mind, his mind and brain represented the very genius of the war to suppress the rebellion, because it was his mind that grasped the thought that until we had fought it out with our brave opponents and met them in the field and fought them as soldiers, until we convinced them by our strength that the battle was hopeless, we could not expect to have a united country. And therefore from the time he began in Belmont until he accepted the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, he fought not cities, not points of strategy, but he fought the enemy, and he fought and fought and fought until he wore out the opposition, because only by wearing them out could he hope to bring about the condition in which there should be complete peace. "The spirit shown by Grant and Lee at Appomattox is today, I trust, triumphant. Between the two leaders it existed when the terms of the surrender were signed, but it was impossible under the conditions that that spirit should control and make itself immediately manifest between the two sections. The conditions were such that that could not be. But what I mean to point out is that the spirit we now rejoice in, as we find between the two sections no remaining bitterness, is a spirit that as between the two great commanders existed the day they shook hands and signed terms of surrender. "It is a matter that I have very much at heart. I believe it is possible to make the two sections even closer together. We are all in the same boat in a more emphatic sense than we ever were before in the history of the country; I mean business boat, and they of the South, especially their business men, are trembling in the balance of doubt as to just where they are politically. I look forward into the next decade, not with the hope that the South shall become Republican, for, staunch as I am in my support of the Republican party, I think a good opposition is necessary to make a Republican party, if it is to control the government, useful to the people, and a defeat at times would not hurt it. What I am looking forward to is a division in the parties in the South so that there shall be tolerance of political opinion there, so that in their state government and in their national affairs there shall be more than one political creed to be subscribed to and supported." Local Option Election Biots. Chillicothe, Ohio.—In a local option election characterized by disorderly scenes, at times bordering on rioting, Ross county Wednesday voted "wet" by 2,000. The city of Chillicothe gave a "wet" majority of approximately 1,800. Mayor Yaptle and the city administration led the "wet" forces. To restore order Company H of the Fourth regiment, Ohio National Guard, was called out and a large force of special deputy sheriffs was sworn in, who carried wagon spokes in place of rifles. Will Investigate Power Sites. Washington.—Following up his recent action of restoring to public entry upward of a million acres of land withdrawn for alleged conservation of water resources and water power, Secretary Ballinger has instructed the director of the Geological Survey to make a report showing specific locations of water power sites, upon which report and effort will be based to secure legislation for the preservation of such sites from speculative control and for their utilization by the government. WHAT COLORS SHALL I USE? This Question Is Important in Painting a House or Other Building. A proper color scheme is extremely important in painting a house. It makes all the difference between a really attractive home and one at which you wouldn't take a second glance. And it makes a big difference in the price the property will bring on the market. As to the exterior, a good deal depends upon the size and architecture of the house, and upon its surroundings. For a good interior effect you must consider the size of the rooms, the light, etc. You can avoid disappointment by studying the books of color schemes for both exterior and interior painting, which can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. The outfit also includes specifications, and a simple instrument for testing the purity of paint materials. Pure White Lead which will stand the test in this outfit will stand the weather test. National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark on the keg is a guarantee of that kind of white lead. ANOTHER BORING QUESTION. "I say, pa, is a man from Poland called a Pole?" "Yes, my son." "Then, pa, why isn't a man from Holland called a Hole?" COUNTRY IN MOVEMENT. Meeting of National Association for Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis Will Be Largely Attended. The fifth annual meeting of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will be held in Washington, D. C., at the New Willard hotel, on May 13, 14 and 15. Owing to the present interest in the campaign against tuberculosis, the meeting will be of unusual interest and importance. The membership of the national association now numbers nearly 2,000, and is distributed in almost every state in the United States. The national association has also a considerable membership in Canada, Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippine islands, and in several of the European countries. Ex-President Roosevelt and Dr. William Osler are honorary vicepresidents of the national association. Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditch of Boston is the president; Mr. Homey Folks of New York city, and Dr. Charles L. Minor of Asheville, N. C., are the vicepresidents; Gen. George M. Sternberg of Washington, D. C., is treasurer; Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs of Baltimore, is secretary, and Dr. Livingston Farrand of New York is the executive secretary of the association. The Reverend and the irreverent. Bishop Doane of Albany, N. Y., who wears a shovel hat and leggings and is accused of signing himself "William of Albany," was a guest at dinner where the irreverent Dr. Hosmer was also dining. They sat down. "I suppose," said the bishop, "that I shall ask grace." "But why, my dear bishop," interposed Hosmer; "why talk shop at the table?"—Saturday Evening Post. Impending Strife. "I want to buy a clarionet," said the man with a steely look in his eye. "Ah," said the dealer in musical wares, "here is a perfect instrument, absolutely true in tone." "I don't want it. I want one that'll produce nothing but blue notes. There's a man next door who is studying the trombone. I'm going to play the clarionet in self-defense." FOOD FACTS What an M. D. Learned. A prominent Georgia physician went through a food experience which he makes public: "It was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know, from having prescribed it to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful builder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It improves the digestion and sick patients always gain just as I did in strength and weight very rapidly. "I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact I was not quite as well as when I left home." "My food did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again. Since that time I have felt as well and strong as I ever did in my life. "As a physician who seeks to help all sufferers, I consider it a duty to make these facts public." Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when the regular food does not seem to sustain the body, will work miracles. "There's a Reason." Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

(American Teacher in the Philippines.) To an American of analytical tendencies a few years in the Philippines present not only an interesting study of their life, but a novel consciousness of our own. Affairs here are so simple where ours are complex; so complex where ours are simple, that one's angle of view is considerably enlarged. The general construction of society is medieval and aristocratic. The aristocracy, with the exception of a few wealthy brewers and cigar manufacturers in Manila, is a land-holding one. There is practically no bourgeoisie—no commercial class between the rich and the poor. In Manila, and all the large coast towns, trade is largely in the hands of foreigners, chiefly Chinese, some few of whom have been converted to the Catholic faith and have established themselves permanently in the country; all of whom have found Filipino helpmates either with or without the sanction of the church, and added their contingent of halfbreeds—or mestizos—to the population. The land owning aristocracy, though it must have been in possession of its advantages for several generations, seems deficient in jealous exclusiveness on the score of birth. I do not remember to have once heard the expression "of good family," as we hear it in America, but I have heard "he is a rich man" so used as to indicate that this good fortune carried with it unquestionable social prerogative. Yet there must be some clanishness based upon birth, for your true Filipino never repudiates his poor relations, nor does he apologize for them. At every social function there is a crowd of them in all stages of modest (or immosted) apparel and manners born of social obscurity. "Money talks" in the Philippines just as blatantly as it does in the United States. In addition to the social halo imparted by its possession there is a condition, grown out of it, known as "cacique-ism." "Cacique-ism" is the social and political prestige exercised by a local man or family. It has its prototype in America, where every town and village has its "leading citizen" and the influence of that leading citizen's wife. The power of the American "cacique," however, is usually vested in his capacity for deceiving his fellow-men and in the American's natural love for what he regards as an eminent personality. The Filipino cacique is quite a different being. He owes his prestige to material fear of the consequences which his wealth and power can bring down upon those who cross him. He does not have to play a hypocritical role. He need neither be nor assume to be a saint in his private or public life. He must simply be in control of enough resources to attach to himself a large body of relatives and friends whose financial interests are tied up with his. Under the Spanish regime he had to stand in by bribery with the local governor, but under the American regime, with its illusions of democracy, he simply points to his clientele and puts forward the plea that he is the natural voice of the people. The American government, always eager to listen to the people's voice, will more than likely take him at his word. Fortified by government backing he starts in to run his province independent of law or justice, and he usually succeeds in doing so. There is no real knowledge among the people of what popular right consists in and no real ideal with which to combat usurpations. The men whom he squeezes howl, but not over the principle. The poor people among the Filipinos live in poverty, a misery and a happiness inconceivable to our people who have not seen it. Their poverty is real, not relative. Their houses are barely a covering from rain or sun. A single rude bamboo bedstead and a stool or two constitute their furniture. There is an earthen water jar, another earthen pot for cooking rice, a bolo for cutting, one or two wooden spoons and a cup made from a cocoanut shell. The stove consists of three stones laid under the house, or back of it, where a rice pot may be balanced over the fire laid between. There are no tables, no linen, no dishes, no towels. The family eat with their fingers while sitting about on the ground with some broken banana leaves for plates. Coffee, tea and chocolate are unknown luxuries to them. Fish and lumps of salt and sometimes a bit of fruit constitute their only diet. In the babies a mass of undigested, half-cooked rice remains in the abdomen and produces what is popularly called "rice-belly." In adults it brings on beri-beri, from which they die quickly. They suffer from bolls and impure blood and many skin diseases. Consumption is rife and rheumatism attacks old and young alike. They are tormented by gnats and mosquitoes and frequently, to rid themselves of the pests, they build fires under their houses and sleep away the hot tropical night in the stifling smoke. While the upper classes are abstemious the lower orders drink much of the native "vino," which is made from the sap of the coconut and nipa trees, and the men are often brutal to their women and children. Now all this is not written about the savage or uncivilized tribes in the islands, but about those people more properly known as "Elipinos," who loudly claim an advanced stage of civilization and cry vociferously for "independencia." And I think the most hopeful person must admit that it is a recitation of real and not fancied evils. The Filipino laborer is still far below even the lowest steps of the relative degree of prosperity and happiness. Yet in spite of all his ills he is happy, but this is because he has not yet developed far enough to achieve either self-pity or self-analysis. He bears his pain, when it comes, as a dumb animal does; and forgets it as quickly when it goes. When the hour of death descends he meets it stolcally, partly because physical pain dulls his senses, and partly because the instinct of fatalism is in him, in spite of his Catholicism. Of course this poverty-stricken condition is largely his own fault. He has apparently an ineradicable repugnance to continued labor. He does not look forward to the future. Fathers and mothers will sit the whole day playing the guitar and singing, or talking after the fashion of the country, when there is not a bite of food in the house. When their own desires begin to reinforce the clamors of their children they will start out at the eleventh hour to try to earn the day's wherewith to live. The more intelligent of the laboring element attach themselves as clientele to the rich land-holding families. They are by no means slaves in law, but they are in fact, and they like it. The men are agricultural laborers, the women seamstresses, house servants, wet nurses and general servants, and when their children grow up they are scattered out among the different branches of the ruling family as maids and valets. In a well-to-do Filipino family of ten or twelve children there will be a child servant for every child in the house—ill-fed little creatures, since the Filipino is merciless in what he exacts and thrifty in what he gives—trained at seven or eight years of age to look after the clothing, the room, and to be at the beck and call of another child oftimes younger than themselves. They go to school with their little masters and mistresses, carry their books, play with them and perform any menial task that needs to be done. For this they receive the scantiest dole of food on which they can live, a few cast-off garments and a stipend of 25 cents (United States currency) per annum, which their parents carefully collect and spend. Parents and children are satisfied, because little as they get it is sure. Parents especially are satisfied, because thus do they evade the duties and responsibilities of parenthood. If there ever was a land where legislation was needed on the subject of child labor, it is here. Children are overworked from infancy. They do all the work of the islands, and the last drop of energy and vitality is gone out of them before they reach manhood or womanhood. Indeed, the first privilege of manhood or womanhood to them is to quit work. The result of American occupation has been a raise in the price of agricultural labor, and in the city of Manila of all labor. But in the provinces the needlewoman and the house servant still work for inconceivably small prices. When I arrived in the islands, in 1901, a seamstress worked nine hours a day for 20 cents gold and her dinner. Now, in Manila, a seamstress working for an American woman receives from 50 to 75 cents a day and her keep. Spanards, Filipinos and Chinese pay less, because they know how. A provincial Filipino pays his coachman two dollars per month and a cook $1.50. An American for the same labor pays four dollars to eight dollars for the cook and from four dollars to six dollars for the coachman. As before stated, the subordinate servants in a Filipino family get next to nothing, because of the utilization of child labor. Americans will not allow children to work. A provincial Filipino can support quite an establishment on about $40 a month, whereas it costs an American from two to four times as much to support the same kind of a menage. This is due partly to our consumption of expensive canned foods, partly to the better prices paid for labor, but chiefly to our desire to feed our servants and retainers into good healthy condition. One of the curious phases of Filipino life is the multiplicity of resources which the rich classes possess. A rich land-holder will have his rice fields, his sugar mill, his vino factory and his cocoanut and hemp plantations. He will own a fish corral or two and be one of the backers of a deep sea fishing outfit. He speculates a little in rice and he may have some interests in pearl fisheries. On a bit of land, not good for much else, he has the palm tree which yields buri for making mats and sugar bags. His wife has a little shop, keeps several weavers at work and an embroidery woman or two. If she goes on a visit to Manila, the day after her return her servants are abroad hawking novelties in the way of fans, bits of lace, knicknacks, combs and other things which she has picked up to turn an honest penny. If a steamer drops in with a cargo of Batangas oranges she invest 20 or 30 pesos and has her servants about the same day carrying the fruit in trays for sale. According to her lights, which are not hygienic, she is a good housekeeper and a genuine helpmeet. She keeps every ounce of food under lock and key and measures each crumb that is used in cooking. She keeps the housekeeping accounts, handles the money, never pries into her husband's affairs, bears him a child every year and is content, in return for all this devotion, with an ample supply of pretty clothes and her jewelry. She herself does not work, busy as she is, and it speaks well for the faith and honor of the Filipino people that she can secure labor in plenty to do all these things for her.

It is reported that a big strike among the laboring men is scheduled for today. It seems to have much of its inception here in Denver. With the Carpenters’ Union divided and the other labor unions sym- pathizing with either side, and all hostile to the contractors the prob- ability of a big strike seems certain. That such an occurrence, at this time would greatly retard the growth and development. of our city none can deny. On every side one sees in our city evidences of great growth. In the business districts new sky-serapers are projected, while hundreds of beautiful houses and apartment houses are being planned and built. While all this is going on, our wide awake business men are planning to inerease our manufacturing interests with the view of giving Den- yer 300,000 population within the next few years. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, while vitally interested in the future growth of Denver, is more deeply concerned in the chances for continued employment of men of our race. A strike will tie up the building work of the city and in a measure stop work along all lines. Except as hod carries, the Negro workman is not a member of the Unions, but will be FORCED into idleness by the general tie up. It is to be hoped that the eontrol- ling elements will adjust the differences without causing a general tie up. The Negro laborer denied admission into labor Unions, and used by the employers as a strike breaker is erushed between the upper and Jower millstone. He is patient, industrious, and willingly bears the coarsest burdens, hoping some day that he can have a place among the skilled workers of the land. Enforced idleness does him a great in- Justice. THE PAMPERED SOUTH. UNDER the guidance of that inspired leadership which has under- taken recently to direet a movement looking to closer allignment of the geographical. sections of the United States, so that the social economic and industrial conditions which pervade the most favored sections may be common to all, the country at large has grown very solicitous that the people of the South shall be brought to feel that ‘the national goy- ernment belongs as much to them as to the people of the North,” and ts dispel the illusion among them that ‘‘their interest in governmental af- fairs is confined to their own states, and that a great barrier separates them from participation in the affairs of a federal administration com- posed chiefly of members of the Republican party.”? This deep regard for the feelings of the Demoerats of the South is charitable, to say the least, and is caleulated to revive their drooping political spirits and at the same time to work wonders in the industrial development of a sec: tion which has been inclined to draw away unto itself, in a generat sense, and stagnate in the slough of its poignant grief. But these proud and grief-stricken people of the South haye not really surrendered their theoretical or practical interest in the affairs of the national administra- tion so much as the heart-rending situation is made to appear, for they have never failed to see to it that their representation in Congress is not diminished, or even put upon the same low basis of representation as that to which the people of other sections are confined, and they have always voluntarily chosen their own economic and industrial views, and done their best to shape the national course contrary to that chosen by the solicitous majority of citizens who now seek to save them from their own mad folly. The South will never change the fundamental views it holds, though it will gladly allow the North to come to them by whatever sympathetic course it may adopt. It will gladly accept the portion of federal offices which the conciliators may see fit to offer it, and it will passively absorb the industrial benefits which the defeat of its own cherished ideas will make possible; but after all this has come to pass, the South will still be found rooted upon the principle which it holds above all others, and that principle is that only one class of people, the white people, shall ever have the right to enjoy the full power of government over any district or section greater than a township.

Ruler of Destiny By Dr. MADISON C. PETERS, Noted New York Divine. beeatibaaraeinmed ea i Mla al a oN Lt EL A et lS NIN fy the mysterious governing power. Pliny said: “Some people refer their successes to virtue and ability; but it is all fate.” Cicero spoke of “luck” in connection with the Roman empire and generals as a settled thing. Caesar once, when crossing a stream, told the pilot: “You carry Caesar and his good fortune.” Alexander depended upon his “luck.” Napoleon was always talking about his “star.” Cromwell had similar notions about “destiny.” What is there in the idea of “chance?” Circumstances do combine sometimes to give men favorable opportunities for grasping precious prizes. As’Shakespeare’has it: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at its flood, leads on to fortune.” But who controlled this tide? - Chance comes and goes like all other opportunities in life, but the man ‘who makes the most of it gets the greater benefit, and circumstances, in- stead of being a hindrance, constituie the quarry out of which we are to get the paving stones for the road t6 success. ‘The successful man is not he who idly stands with arms akimbo set until occasion tells him what to do, but rather it is he who rolls up his sleeves, strikes when the iron is hot, and keeps it hot by striking. “Tis not in our stars, dear Brutus, but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” That “fortune is a fickle jade,” that “it is more by hit than good wit,” is the bugbear of the idle and languid. Away with the crude notion, that fortune is a blind goddess and “with -her-blind-hand, she, blind, bestows her gifts.” Robert.Burns had the in- telligence and enlightenment of our iwentieth century when he wrote: “To catch Dame Fortune's golden smile, Assiduous wait upon her.” Suecess is won by doing the right thing at the right time, in the right way. Sir Walter Raleigh flung his lace jacket in a mud puddle and won a proud queen’s favor. In nine eases out of ten the successful man is he— “Who breaks his birth’s invidious bar, B And grasps the skirts of happy chance, ; ee And breasts the blows of circumstance, 8 And grapples with his evil star.” Your so-called “lucky fellows” are usually keen sighted men, who have surveyed the world with a serutinizing eye, and who to clear ideas of what ought to be done unite the 8kill to execute their practical plans. 5 “Our remedies in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to heaven; the fated sky Gives us free scope; and only backward pulls Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.” Sir Thomas Buxton said: “he longer I live the mofe certain I am that the great difference between men, between the great and the insignifi- cant, is energy, invincible determination, an honest purpose, once fixed, and then death or victory. ‘This quality will do anything in the world, and no talents, no circumstances; will make a two-legged creature a man without it.” An old Latin proverb says: ,sOpportunity has hair in front, but is bald behind. Seize him by the forelock.” Is it luck that gives the lawyer his clients, the physician his patients, the preacher his hearers, the merchant his business, the mechanic his la- bor, the farmer his harvest? Read the story of “Who's Who in America,” 80 per cent. of our great men were born in the backwoods and graduated from the University of Hard Knocks. Men like Edison atoned for their lack of schooling by grit and ambition and by making the most of their epare moments. Stephen Girard, the second richest man in his day in America, who came here a poor immigrant boy, said: “I began life with six-pence, and believe that a man’s best capital is his industry.” ohn Jacob Astor began life as a peddler in the streets of New York. John D. Rockefeller worked as a porter in a machine shop and Andrew Carnegie began life as a mes- senger boy. Men lose their luck by letting their energies out through bad ‘habits and unwise projects. Nothing will ever turn up for which you have never striven. Luck blossoms on the tree of pluck. Whatever may be your na- tive powers, ultimate success will never be attained without the most ar-. duous, well directed, life lasting labor for self-improvement. The prize belongs to him who, with faith undying and with hope through thick and thin, keeps a-trying. i th OT SOR ae committing his sin and take his burden of it, but help him to see that we are all doing it together, that it is a system; that it is true he must do these things, and then prepare his mind for the time when an attempt will be made to change it all, and then tell him to be ready to make the sacrifice with the rest of us.

The child is turned over to the school in his younger years, given a so- cial education and then turned back on the community. A fundamental weakness of our curric- ulum is that it is a patchwork of studies thrown together with no principles of rela- tion. Waste in the school work is due to a maladjustment of the contents-of the cur- dieulum on one hand and the needs of the pupils and the public on the other. In the nature of the curriculum is to be found the ool life. ‘The arrangement of isolated expe- child’s motive desires results in a congestion ANOTHER ary SHOWING fi 4 i, erie sere Ws V/ Adler Rochester ., ff ‘(i | and Henley Models rn | $ iu | B15 to $25 4) Pahl] Our New Clothing me | | oe | Floor Now Open \ \\ = hee SPECIAL VALUES [ r (CO Wilson Bros.

DEATH OF JOHN M. WILLIAMS. It is with feelings of deep sorrow that The Colorado Statesman chronicles the passing away of John Morris Williams, which occurred at Buxton, Iowa, Thursday morning, April 22, 1909. Some months ago Mr. Williams had pneumonia, as well as the rheumatism, which left him in a debilitated condition, superinducing heart failure, the immediate cause of his death. J. M. Williams, or "Johnnie," as he was familiarly called by his many friends, was born in Brookville, Mass. He was a graduate of Lincoln University, Chester, Pa. In 1875 he went South, a young man of brilliant attainments, full of life, and of a venturesome disposition. He took a prominent place during the Reconstruction period, holding many places of honor and trust, as our many readers know all political positions were in the hands of colored men, and the knowledge that Williams then gained of the political game was quite an asset to him when he came to Denver, Colo., in the early 80s. He always took a prominent stand in everything that had for the betterment of his race. A man like him could not be kept in the background. The Republican party honored him with several positions of honor and trust. Shortly after his arrival here he secured a position in the Railway Mail Service as clerk. His work was always satisfactory and the late Superintendent F. E. Putney always spoke of him in the highest terms. Under the city government he had been at different times on the police force, in the health department, custodian of the court house, besides other minor clerical positions. In March, 1907, Mr. Williams left Denver for Buxton, Iowa, to assume the duties of assistant postmaster under Rev. Mendenhall, postmaster, an old friend. This place he held until a change in the postmastership. Since then he has been doing clerical work, he being a fine penman and an excellent bookkeeper. At the time of his death he had passed his fifty-first year. He is survived by a sister in Elizabeth, N. J., and a brother in New York. A host of friends are left to mourn his death. On all sides are heard words of sorrow. His friends were legion. Big-hearted, brilliant, witty, an excellent musician, a good mixer, hence an ideal politician, he possessed friends in all walks of life. "Let the veil of charity cover whatever fault there may have been." Over his bier we drop a silent tear. Peace to his ashes. A gentleman, a scholar, a friend to all mankind has passed into the great beyond. His body was taken in charge by the Elks of Buxton, which order he joined after leaving Denver. TO THE MEMORY OF THE GOOD A Tribute of Forty-four Years of Unbroken Friendship With the Late E. J. Sanderline. I will give each an arrow, a pall and a stone! Thus boasted this monarch, and onward he rode, To bear his destruction in terror abroad! But to Death's silent valley he bore him away. There are while writing these lines many memories of Mr. Sanderline flitting in mind, but the greatest of all is the stubborn fight he made as a member of that lamentable quartette composed of H. O. Wagoner, W. J. Hardin, W. H. Green and E. J. Sanderline—Wagoner, the keen and sagacious; Hardin, the orator; Green and Sanderline, capitalists. The fight was for a mixed school, and they won, being assisted in that fight by many that have been called from hence to thence; but there is a small coterie of living witnesses and participants of that momentous struggle. They are: Thomas J. Riley, Isaac Brown, Lewis Price, Leff Smith, Moses Thrashley, Green Terrill, Jarrett Smith, Charles Smith, Allen Smith, Narcy Smith, James Whitsell, Homer Jackson, Calvin Crump, Luvenia Johnson, Henry Smith, William Sanderline, Mrs. Dickson, Clara Craft, Lillie Frazier, John M. Green, Chares H. Green, Lee Ayers, Louis H. Douglas, son of the late Frederick Douglas, and the writer. What a monument for either living or dead to have been enlisted in such a noble cause. Blazing the trail for the generation present, and opening all avenues for the generations yet to come. Such was the main purpose during the life of Edward J. Sanderline. JUDGE THOMAS C. WILLIAMS.

In Paris she has been studying singing with Jean de Reszke. Of course the friends of the young countess are much excited over her newest idea, which is absorbing her mind just now. Her voice is said to be of good quality. Countess Cassini, in accomplishments, has been termed "the most wonderful girl in America." in the hyperbole of scores of magazines and Sunday supplements. As a member of the diplomatic set, the famous belle of the Russian embassy in Washington became a chum of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth and Miss Katherine Elkins, and achieved immense popularity. She is now about 25 years of age, but when only 20 it was said of her THE Cosmos club of Washington, as anybody might know from its Greek name, is the club inhabited by the scientific high brows of this capital. It is America's most distinguished collection of ultimate wisdom. It knows all about everything and incidentally it is the richest and most prosperous club in Washington. Scientists, literary people, statesmen—not politicians, however—and eminent folk in all the strictly intellectual avenues constitute its membership. So it is that the Cosmos club's discovery of the featherless chicken is regarded as of the greatest significance. The club sat on this discovery in solemn, scientific state. There is no doubt of it. The featherless chicken has arrived, and its ultimate influence on household economics is not to be overrated. Dr. R. H. Chapman of the geological survey, told the wise men about it. Fifty absolutely featherless chicks were born—that is, hatched— IN the copy of Foreign Relations of 1906, issued by the state department and made public the other day at Washington, appears some correspondence showing that on July 14, 1906, Assistant Secretary Bacon made inquiries of the Italian ambassador regarding the status of an American girl who should marry an Italian nobleman. Officials of the state department positively deny that this interrogation had any reference to the prospective marriage of the duke of the Abruzzi and Miss Katherine Elkins, that international romance having not been started when the inquiry was made. Any specific statement as to the persons then interested and whose mar- M THE commission of which President Taft, while secretary of war, was a member, appointed under the terms of the public buildings act of the last session of congress, to prepare plans for a memorial amphitheater in the national cemetery at Arlington, Va., has submitted its report to congress. In addition to Mr. Taft, the commission was composed of Secretary Cortelyou, Elliott Woods, superintendent of the capitol building; I. G. Kimball and Gov. Curtis Guild, Jr., representing respectively the Grand Army of the Republic and the Spanish war veterans. The plans prepared by New York architects contemplate a rooftop structure covering 34,000 square feet, the ultimate cost of which would be $695,000. There would be seating that she discharged with the skill and tact of the most experienced social leader all the responsibilities of hostess at the home of one of the most prominent diplomats in the world. This beauty from the czar's domain was a member of her uncle's household from the time she was three years old. Finally, she became the adopted daughter of Count Cassini. She has lived in all parts of the world and speaks half a dozen languages with fluency. Love of dress is a passion with the countess. It has been said of her that if her early ambition were translated into prayer it would be, "Please God, make me as beautiful as you can." She cannot understand how any woman could desire anything before that, but having been blessed with a rare type of beauty sufficiently distinctive to fulfill the dreams of her young girlhood, she has of late years turned her major attention to dress. At one time her wardrobe has embraced as many as 80 gowns, three dozen pairs of shoes and slippers, nearly an equal number of hats, a proportionate array of cloaks and wraps, and a dozen muffs. During the social season the countess has required as many as three French maids to care for her finery. last summer from an incubator on a farm near Delhi, N. Y., while Dr. Chapman was spending his vacation there. They lived through the summer, but froze early in the fall. Dr. Chapman took notes with great care of their daily experiences, and the cosmic scientists listened with bated breath as he read his report on the phenomenon. The naked chickens, he declared, didn't like their condition. Hair restorer, vaseline and other things were used in the effort to induce feathers to grow, but without avail. The chicks lost appetite, their modesty was constantly being shocked by the curiosity of a prying world, and when cold weather came they died early. But to the Cosmos scientists the question of profound concern relates to the possibility of developing a breed of hairless chickens that will not season the stew with pin feathers nor require in the kitchen the difficult work of picking. Dr. Chapman pointed out with eloquent earnestness the benefits humanity would derive. He did not doubt that men in native state were once as hairy as monkeys; civilization substituted clothes, and the hair vanished. Why not likewise with poultry. The club is deeply stirred and further experiments in bald poultry are contemplated. riage was probably under consideration is refused by the officials. It is known that later, when the courting of the duke of the Abruzzi was approaching a crisis, that Senator Elkins requested friends in Rome to ascertain and advise him what would be the status of his daughter if she married into the royal family. He was notified that the marriage would be considered morganatic unless the Italian parliament pased an act giving the daughter full recognition. He was at the same time warned that the Italian parliament could subsequently repeal its legislation, leaving the marriage in the same position as if the act of recognition had not been passed. It is understood here that Senator Elkins did not make any request of the state department to ascertain for him the status of American women marrying either a member of the royal family or an Italian nobleman but had the investigation conducted by one of his personal friends at that time in Rome. room for about 5,000 people, and standing room in a colonade for many more. It is contemplated that a crypt should be constructed under the colonade and that it should be used for the burial of distinguished men who merit such recognition from the nation. Provision is made also for memorial busts or portrait statues in the colonnade "somewhat as has so frequently been done," say the architects, "in the famous Campo Santos of Europe." It has been the endeavor to obtain a serious and classic character in order to express the dignity and purpose of the building, and with this end in view such classic structures as the theater of Dionius at Athens and the Roman theater at Orange, have been studied, though not directly imitated. The architects have striven rather to keep the proposed building in harmony with the old colonial buildings of Washington, such as the White House and the capitol. It is believed the dignity and solemnity of the structure would be enhanced by leaving it uncovered.

Denver, Colorado Denver, Colo The Right Way to Write Letters By Sherwin Cody BEGIN YOUR LETTERS IN A NATURAL AND EASY WAY. Many people think a letter isn't a letter unless it is begun in the stereotyped style that has been in use for a hundred years, such as: "Replying to your esteemed favor of the 16th inst., we beg to advise;" "Answering your honored communication of the 24th ult., we would say;" "Your valued favor of the 21st inst. at hand. In reply we beg to say." You wouldn't talk like that. Don't write like that. Plunge at once into what you have to say. Acknowledging the date of the letter to be answered is only an incidental matter, and you should do it incidentally, by some phrase subordinate to the sentence in which you say the important thing your letter is written for. For example, acknowledge an order in this way: "We thank you sincerely for your order of the 16th inst. for two barrels of lime, which we will deliver the first thing to-morrow morning;" or "We regret to say that we are just out of lime and so cannot deliver with our usual promptness the two barrels you order in your favor of the 16th inst." If a favor is asked which must be refused, begin as follows: "We fully appreciate all you say in your letter of the 17th, but;" "It would give me unusual pleasure to grant your request of the 17th if it were in my power to do so, but unfortunately." If information is asked, begin at once to give the information: "Such a lawn-mower as you describe in your letter of the 9th we are offering for only $4.50, and you will find it described on page 16." "We take pleasure in quoting you on the articles mentioned in yours of the 17th as follows." CLOSING A BUSINESS LETTER IN EASY STYLE. Some business men close their letters with set phrases, which appear on all letters alike. Their customers see them again and again, and know they mean nothing at all; that they are a bad habit. Such meaningless phrases are: "Trusting this will be entirely satisfactory, we remain;" "Soliciting your valued order, we are;" "Trusting we may have your kind order by return mail, we remain." These phrases would not be bad if they meant anything, but when they are only a bad habit they become worse than useless. Don't insist on always closing your letters with "we are" or "we remain." When you have finished what you have to say simply write "Yours truly," or whatever formal close may be required. At the same time it would be a great mistake to be abrupt and neglect the easy formalities of personal intercourse. Say anything that is natural, courteous and significant, finding a different phrase as often as you can and overworking no particular form. "If there is anything more we can do for you, we sincerely hope you will command us. Yours truly." "We shall give your order our usual careful attention, and trust we shall be fortunate enough to please you in every way." "We thank you cordially for remembering us in this case." "Greatly regretting our inability to meet your desires, nevertheless we remain, most cordially yours." In closing a soliciting or sales letter, it is important always to tell the prospective customer exactly what you want him or her to do. This should be something simple, natural and easy. If you want a reply, say so just as you would ask a favor in personal intercourse. "Kindly use the enclosed return post card to let us know at once exactly how you are situated." "Fill out the enclosed order blank, mall in the enclosed return envelope, and goods will be shipped the day your order reaches us." Leaving the customer to infer what you want done is fatal to much business, as the average man is more guided by his instincts than by his processes of reasoning, and many will not make the effort to think. HOW TO WRITE A HUNDRED GOOD LETTERS A DAY. "If I could take time to polish my letters up, be sure I had obeyed every rule of grammar, and found precisely the most natural and effective expression, I could write fine letters; but I have to dictate a hundred letters a day and it keeps me hustling to get them out. I can't stop for all these fine points." Such is the argument used by the business men whose letters are often carelessly written and awkwardly worded. Nothing is so injurious to good letter writing as the sense of hurry; but the secret of success in getting out a hundred good letters a day lies in taking time to write one letter well. If you will devote an hour or two hours to making one letter as strong, graceful, clear, and convincing as you are capable of doing, you will get a general sense of how best to construct your letters when you are dictating rapidly. Too many business men never take time even to write one really good letter, so they never know what a good letter in their business would be. But there is a regular system by which even a hundred letters can be dictated in a day and nearly every one of them can be made a masterpiece. Nearly all correspondence falls naturally into a very few classes. Customers ask the same questions about a given article over and over, the same arguments influence them, and substantially the same things have to be said again and again. Sometimes the dictator states those things well, and again he is very awkward in his statement. This is true even of the greatest experts. But when Demosthenes had found the best possible way of saying a thing (as we see from his collection of perorations and form paragraphs, which we find introduced into many different speeches), he wrote that best way down in his book and used the same language over and over. This method is peculiarly useful in handling business correspondence. Have a book of form paragraphs covering every important subject that is referred to many times, and when you have found two or three best ways of saying a thing use one of those ways out of the book instead of dictating off-hand whatever comes into the mind. By this method it is possible to dictate a hundred good letters in a day and make every one of them a masterpiece. WHAT POLITENESS REQUIRES IN A LETTER. However brief a letter, it should never be lacking in a dignified courtesy. Some business men are so afraid of writing a long letter that they chop out every word or phrase that can possibly be spared without completely spoiling the meaning, very much as they would do if writing a telegram. Too often they make their letters so short that the essential things they have to say are not made clear. If a man is going to give his time to reading a letter at all, he wants to know precisely what the writer wishes to say. He doesn't want to guess or assume. He wants to know. A chopped-out letter is usually robbed of all forms of courtesy. A business man who would not think of coming into the office of a customer without taking off his hat, saying "Good morning," and shaking hands affably, will write a letter that reminds one of those boys who go about calling out: "Want any blotters?" The very tone repels. However brief a letter, it should seem complete, as if the writer were taking all the time necessary to attend to his business with you. The usual forms of courtesy should not appear cramped, and the letter equivalent of the handshake, the bow, and the removal of the hat should be as scrupulously adhered to in writing as in personal intercourse. These are the things that make the other man feel friendly, and in every letter good business, to say nothing of politeness, requires that the customer be made to feel that you are treating him right. Courtesy in letters as in personal intercourse is cheap, and it pays. The conventional, "Dear Sir" or "Dear Madam" at the opening of a letter means nothing, but if it were left out it would be missed, and its absence would be charged up to discountes. The same is true of "Yours truly" or "Cordially yours" at the end of a letter. The skillful writer manages to put a world of meaning into these seemingly empty forms. But the letter writer must not reason that because these forms are good, a lot more phrases such as the Spaniards use in closing their letters would be still better. They are not wanted in American business letter writing. The person who overdoes courtesy is put down as a hypocrite and a bore. Do what custom requires, and then stop. Study the customer, and give him what he expects and wants. That is the great law in all business. CREATING DESIRE. The average business man is so wrapped up in his own production, the thing he has to sell, that he forgets all about the customer. He sees in the most vivid way possible the great utility of his goods, and he assumes the customer must have the same natural intense desire. He has worked himself into a chronic state of seeing through the colored glasses of his own prepossession, and he can't get away from that prepossession. But if he is going to make sales he must throw himself in imagination into the position of the possible customer, Losing His Mind "Mother, guess you'd better send for th' doctor," gasped Uncle Charlie Seaver, as he sank into a chair and rocked back and forth, holding his gray head. "Sakes alive, ye haven't been an' got th' misery in yer hed, have ye, Slas?" gasped his astonished wife, doping a ple tin. "I don'no what th' matter, but I've alwus had a hunch my mind'd go some who merely has a faint inclination toward something which the article offered for sale will supply to a certain degree. He can live without it. Even if is a life-and-death matter he probably doesn't know it. In any case, it is probably one of many things he might like to have, though he can't possibly have all. Be modest. Don't expect him to have any more desire for your article than for all the others he cannot possibly get. Modestly putting aside the notion that all the world is waiting breathless for your goods, gently take the customer or reader of your letter on his own ground and tell him why he needs something to supply the void that exists. Suppose he is wearing three-dollar shoes; point out that one pair of five-dollar shoes will wear as long as two pairs of the cheaper shoes, so paying more to start with means really less in the end, and besides there is the unspeakable comfort of a real fit, so that walking is a pleasure rather than a torture. When you've got a man to think so far with you, quite without mentioning any shoes you have to offer, you have won half your battle from the point of view of playing upon human nature. You want to sell a man a $25 gold watch. Some letter writers would plunge at once into the comparative merits of their gold watches and others; but what good will all those comparative merits do if the customer feels that his $10 silver watch is just as good for him as any gold watch you've got. You've got to lead his mind to thinking of the real benefits of a gold watch before your comparative arguments can have any effect whatever, will be anything but thrown away. A silver watch looks cheap. Nobody will think a man is anything in the world until he can at least pull out of his vest pocket a gold watch. Besides, doesn't it really cost a lot of time and disappointment not to have an accurate time-keeper? How much waste energy would it take to equal the interest on only $15 difference—say 75 cents a year. Probably the waste energy might run to the equivalent of 100 per cent. or more. Is it not like throwing money away not to buy a $25 gold watch? WHEN TO WRITE A SHORT LETTER, AND WHEN TO WRITE A LONG ONE. It is a curious thing to notice how many correspondents fall into the habit of writing letters all of about the same length. Some appear to like a letter of only a few lines, and will seldom exceed a page double-spaced; others will almost habitually write letters exceeding a page single-spaced on the typewriter. The first step toward system in correspondence is to learn to write a different letter to different people on different occasions—a long letter when a long letter is required to do the business, a short letter when only a short letter will be read. Write a Long Letter to A farmer. A woman. A customer who has asked you a question. A customer who is angry and needs quieting down. A man who is interested, but must be convinced by a complete argument. Write a Short Letter to A busy business man, who won't read a long one. An indifferent man, on whom you want to make a sharp impression. A man who wants only a bit of information for reference. A person who needs only a slight reminder of something he has forgotten. It is useless to write a long letter unless you know it will be read. Brevity is the watchword of the business world. Every letter should be brief unless there is a good reason for making it long. But it is better not to write a letter at all unless you are going to make it do its work. If a man wants a long and full explanation it is only business courtesy and good policy to give it to him. The man who is in doubt must be convinced. The man who is angry must be soothed. The man who is asking for information must be satisfied. Farmers and women usually have plenty of time to read the letters they receive, and like to read long letters all through. They are accustomed to full explanations. It is useless, however to say a thing over and over, just because you want to make the letter long. Such a letter would weary even a woman or a farmer, and spoil a sale. What is wanted is not words, but full detail. The best rule is to form the habit of saying what you know is required, whether it makes a short letter or a long letter. Say what is necessary, omitting nothing, and then stop. (Copyright, 1909, by Joseph B. Powles.) time. It's cum, I guess.

Larger swellings would appear and my clothes would stick to the sores. I went to a doctor, but the trouble only got worse. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in swellings as large as a dollar. It was so painful that I could not bear to lie on my back. The second doctor stopped the swellings, but when they broke the places would not heal. I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies and in less than a week some of the places were nearly well.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WOMEN. The first costume is both smart and useful and is a style well-suited to serge. Our model is in navy blue. The plaited skirt is cut in comfortable walking length, and has the plaits stitched down about halfway. White cloth is used for the waistcoat fastened down the center by small buttons and buttonholes. The fronts of coat are cut away and semi-fitting, fine braiding completely edges coat, while buttons and cords add further trimming. The sleeves are elbow length and quite loose, they are trimmed to match. Hat of stretched satin, trimmed with beads and feathers. Materials required: 8 yards serge 48 inches wide, 3 dozen buttons, 1 dozen yards cord, 4 yards coat lining. The second is a princess shape; cloth or serge might either be used, straps of material trim the front of skirt part, two box-plaits are arranged under the strap in front. Braiding trims the back and sides of bodice part, also the revers and cuffs, which are of some light cloth, the buttons are of the same. Hat of light felt trimmed with ribbon and roses. Materials required: 6 yards cloth, 46 inches wide, 4 buttons, 4 yards lining, 1 dozen yards braid. HIGH COLLARS ARE HARMFUL Permanent Dark Mark Made If the Neck Garniture Is Worn Too High. The fad of wearing extremely high collars will have a hurtful effect upon the flesh of the throat unless special care is given to prevent it, because through stoppage of circulation, a condition brought about by high collars, a permanent dark mark comes, and some remedy to obviate the trouble must be employed. It is not expected that a girl will select a neck dressing that is a misfit. But she may take the happy medium of one that is not too close to her throat. For example, if 13 is the usual size, it is the part of wisdom to take $13\frac{1}{2}$ when the height of the linen is excessive. It is precisely the same theory that causes one to wear longer boots when the toes are excessively pointed. In order to preserve its roundness and softness the throat must have some air and freedom of movement. Undoubtedly an aid to freshness is occasionally to change the style of collar worn and for a day to use one that is not extreme. This relaxes and tones muscles that may have become cramped. THE LADY'S DRESS Cashmere, serge or any cloth, as long as it is the same as used for skirt, would make up well for the overbodice. Three tucks are made on each shoulder both back and front; they are stitched down a few inches. A material strap stitched at each edge and trimmed with embroidered spots edges the opening and is also taken down the front over the fastenings. The oversleeve is trimmed in the same way. Materials required: 1% yards 46 inches wide, 2 buttons. Even the veils have fringe. The craze for fringe has reached veils, and all the big new ones are heavily bordered, sometimes with one row and sometimes with two. If the veil is of the changeable chiffon a stunning effect in color is produced by the border of fringe having precisely the same hues. On the fraller net veils, which cover a wide range in color, the fringe matches in shade. ALTERING AN EVENING GOWN. Scheme Very Much in Fashion and One That Is Quite Easy to Carry Out. If the girl who indulged in a scanty, slimly cut sheath gown last winter wants to change it a bit to give more of the classic suggestion, she can do this by using two veils as drapery. The idea is very much in fashion and is easy to carry out. The veils themselves are often used by high-priced dressmakers instead of buying chiffon cloth and hemming it. The veils have a selvage which makes them quite effective. One of the attractive ways of draping them is to catch one at each shoulder, drawing it up under the arm and fastening on top with a paste buckle. The edges lower down may be lightly caught together over the arm a little above the elbow. This gives filmy but straight drapery from shoulder to hem which puts one in the picture this season. Again, an extra long veil is drooped across the back and caught at the back of each shoulder with a buckle and the ends left to hang straight. SKIRTS WIDER AT THE HEM. Are a Distinct Improvement on the Tight Garment That Extremists Favored. The absurdly narrow skirt that one could hardly step in and that was only worn by the extremists, fashionable or otherwise, has had its day. All the new skirts have width at the hem. Even the street ones are three and four yards wide, and the house ones are from six to seven yards at the hem. They are not lined or stiffened or worn over petticoats, but they have a graceful fullness. They are not held back by elastics, and give no appearance of the grotesque. They are quite ample, easy to walk in and more graceful on every figure than the extra tight ones. There are all sorts of rumors that the new skirt at the Paris races will be ten yards wide, but if one listened to all rumors these days no one would buy a gown with any feeling of security. Linen and Canvas for Book Covers. Attractive adjuncts to the living room are magazine covers made from heavy linens and craftsman's canvas. For the postcard albums the latter fabric is preferred. Both materials can be had in a variety of colors, and an applique of cretonne is a popular form of decoration. Book covers in a cool gray linen, adorned with a spray of purple orchids cut from cretonne, are pretty, and so are those in terra cotta craftsman's canvas, displaying a swastika cross cut from cretonne in dull oriental colorings. To Keep Rugs Flat. Girls who have a habit of shuffling their feet, thereby incurring frequent scoldings for kicking up rugs, will find life pleasanter if they cut triangles of medium weight cardboard, and sew them on the under side of rugs at each corner.

JOSLINS RECIPES FOR RICE HERE ARE A NUMBER OF APPE TIZING DISHES. Pudding Made Without Eggs Is Palatable and Cheap—Creamed Rice with Fruit—Raisins Add Flavor to Preparation. A rice pudding without eggs is sometimes called poor man's pudding: One-half cup uncooked rice, one cup of sugar, one quart of milk. Put into a buttered baking dish and stir thoroughly, then add several bits of butter. Grate nut- One-half cup uncooked rice, one cup of sugar, one quart of milk. Put into a buttered baking dish and stir thoroughly, then add several bits of butter. Grate nutmeg over top or flavor with lemon and bake two hours in a moderate oven. Stir now and then until the last half hour. I halve this recipe. Creamed Rice with Fruit.—Cook one cup of rice thoroughly in milk in a double boiler. Dissolve one-fourth box of gelatine in hot milk, add sugar to taste (the recipe says two cups, but I think it too much) and mix with half a pint of cream, whipped. Pour into a rounded mold or dish, placing a bowl in center to leave hollow space. Chill again and when ready to serve remove from mold to pretty plate or dish and fill center with mashed and sweetened berries or stewed fruit. Rice with Raisins.—I cook this in my fireless cooker. Have four cups of water boiling briskly, salted to taste. Stir in one cup of rice; let it boil five minutes. Add a cup of seeded raisins, boil two minutes, and remove to fireless cooker for three or four hours. I've lately discovered a new sauce to serve with this. Bring two-thirds pint of rich milk slowly to boiling point. I use my double boiler. Add sugar to taste, then pour slowly on whipped whites of two eggs. Flavor, and if not quite ready to serve pour back into double boiler to keep it warm. Half of this is enough for two people. Instead of cooking the rice as stated above I usually cook that amount without raisins, and use it as a vegetable in place of potatoes. Then a day or two afterward I beat up a cup of what is left with a little milk. Stir in a few raisins and steam 15 minutes. It is ever so good with the above sauce or with hard sauce or nun's butter. Feb. 26's Rice Pudding.—Put one-half cup of rice into a cup and half of water, and let it swell on the stove, then pour the water off and add a pint of milk. Let cook to a jelly. Beat yolks of two eggs with five tablespoons of sugar. Stir this into the the rice with one cup of raisins, vanilla, salt. When done cover with the beaten egg whites mixed with two spoons of sugar, and brown in the oven. Apple Pudding with Rice.—Six sour apples, one cup of cold boiled rice, one pint of milk, one cup of sugar, the juice and rind of one lemon and yolks of four eggs. Core and chop the apples, add the rice and milk, beat out the lumps, add other ingredients and bake about half an hour. Beat the whites of the eggs with a little sugar, spread on top and brown. I halve this recipe. Date Rice Pudding.—One cup of cold boiled rice, one cup dates, half a cup of cream. Cut the dates into small pieces, add a quarter of cup of water and large spoonful of sugar. Cook until soft. Add the rice, after you remove dates from fire. If the rice is at all lumpy, put it through your food chopper, but ordinarily this isn't necessary. Cool this mixture, then whip the cream stiff and mix with it. Serve cold, either plain or surrounded with whipped cream. Half a cup of nuts broken into small pieces or chopped adds to this. Also I like it with juice of half a lemon added. —Boston Globe. Very nourishing and fine for in- valids. Put one plint of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one cup of sugar into a double boiler. When boiling stir in three heaping tablespoonfuls cocoa previously dissolved with a little cold water. Be sure there are no lumps. Then mix enough corn- starch, about two heaping tablespoonfuls, with enough cold milk or water to make it smooth, and pour gradually into the boiling cocoa, and stirring all the time, boil for five minutes. It should then be thick, but not stiff. Take from the fire and quickly stir in vanilla to taste, about one teaspoonful. Pour at once into individual glasses and serve cold with plain crackers or simple little cakes. Potato Eggs and Ham Required: One pound of mashed potato, chopped parsley, one egg, a little milk, flour, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, frying fat, slices of ham. Take some mashed potato, add enough chopped parsley to make it look pretty, moisten with a beaten egg and a little milk. Mix well, and form into egg-shaped balls. Roll it in flour, then in beaten egg and breadcrumbs, and fry in deep fat. A Mayonnaise Hint To insure the mayonnaise from separation in the discouraging way which it sometimes has, use a little of the white of one egg with the yolk with which the oil is mixed. A girl who never has a failure does this, using cold utensils and receptacles for the work. She turns in half a tablespoonful of oil at a time and for her family of four or five it takes just seven minutes by the clock for the work.
