PUT THE CITY OUT OF SCHOOL EDUCATORS CO DISBANDING THE ARMY. A few days ago a mighty army was disbanded in Denver. There was no screaming fife, nor beating drum by which the brave soldiers marched in to stack their arms, and be resolved to common citizenship. All the population stood still, awaiting the thrilling scenes and ceremonies. No furled flags of this great army have place in our military archives. The disbanded army is the army of tomorrow. School closed last week and a mighty host of children sat down by the roadside of life to rest, to think, to plan for tomorrow. What is to be done with them? How will they spend their time? In this vast army some juvenile Sons and Daughters of Ham are seen. Here is the ever-ubiquitous race problem. This race problem is a complexity. It is a lot of small problems, each of which must be solved. The problem of the colored child is a serious one, whether it be the school child or the one out of school. The Negro boy and girl must be trained for their places in the army of tomorrow. The training of a child is serious and its evolution from babyhood to years of discretion forms an interesting study. Especially is this true of the Negro child. Now that the children of our race are released from school, what are YOU going to do for them? THE DIGNITY OF LABOR. The world has been preaching the dignity of labor ever since Cain got sore at Abel. It will continue to talk about it until Father Time rings up the Curtains of Eternity. Everyone feels that they are better than their job, and treat it in a patronizing way. This element of discontent, sometimes called ambition, more often becomes the basis of useless and idle lives. The doctrine "I don't want my child doin' what I have to do" is continually on the minds of many of the fond parents of our race, and they come to cherish this fetish to the ruination of the child. This is done honestly. The parents labor in season and out of season that their boys and girls through the refining influences of education may be prepared for higher things. It is very poetic to see the daughters reclining at ease, dressed in the extreme of fashion, or the son slowly sauntering along the public thoroughfares, emitting the lurid glare of lavender socks and red necktie—while the poor old mother wrestles with "the harmony not understood" of a washboard, and the father carries a hod. We do not mean to deery the value of education. But education should dignify, rather than debase. What a man does, does not debase him. It's what he is. Cut out this false doctrine of labor and teach the child to work, and that all labor is honorable, be it ever so humble. School is out. Find a place for your boy or girl. Some one will take them and teach them to do something. In this manner they will be kept from the streets and the ever-open haunts of vice. Out in the beet and melon fields of Colorado can be found lucrative employment for all who want to work. In these fields thousands of Japs find work. This is the place for the boys, instead of railroading, or portering in a saloon or barber shop. There he will find plenty of pure air, good, wholesome food and exercise. A summer in the open will bring them back to school stronger mentally, morally and physically. Find something for the children to do. A MATTER OF PRIDE. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Th ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, gro teacher will help swell the ranks. What a feeling of race pride we should have when we realize how much we are doing for ourselves. The Negro teacher is helping to bear the burden of tomorrow. Let the Negroes of Colorado extend to the visiting teachers a cordial welcome in a manner befitting their work. The Negro teacher is doing a great work in the uplift of the race. The race is rising all the time. Just keep our boys and girls busy. Teach them the dignity of all labor and pride in the race will go hand in hand with progress. NEGRO TO ENYOY BEQUEST James Edward Johnson, who fell heir to the estate of Bridget Topy, an Irish cook, several days ago, has been informed by his attorneys that there is nothing to keep him from enjoying the $30,000 bequest left him by the executrix. Bridget Torpy was for twenty-seven years cook in the family of Mrs. N. B. Taft, 46 W. Twenty-fifth street. She died at the age of 70 years of cancer. At her death she was living with Negroes at 221 W. Eighteenth street. When the will was filed for probate last week the document was attested by the testatrix's mark, she being unable to write her own name. According to the petition accompanying the will, the value of the estate is worth more than $10,000. The testatrix's former employer says the total value of the estate is about $30 000. James Edward Johnson, the sesiduary legatee in the will, was assistant cook to Bridget Torpy, and succeeded her when she was forced a few months ago to quit work on account of ill health. In speaking of her former cook In speaking of her former cook, Mrs. Taft said: "I employed Bridget Torpy for twenty-seven years. I understood that her birthplace was Galway, Ireland, and I think she told me she had cousins living there. I believe she left at least $30,000, as I paid her more than $11,000 in wages during her service with me, and I understand she had quite a fortune when she came to me. "She was what you might call a miser, I suppose. She never spent a cent of her earnings, so fas as I know, and I believe she had money in almost every savings bank in the city. "Some time ago I learned the nature of her illness and prevailed upon her to go away for a time. She grew discontented, however, and later asked me to get her a room in this neighborhood. I did so, and she remained there for some time, but the next thing I knew she was living among the Negroes in the house where she died. At her funeral were three white people—the others were Negroes.—New York Age. RACE NEWS Georgia Negroes pay taxes on $50,000,000 worth of property and have 210,000 children in the schools of the state. The colored people of Buxton, Iowa, will hold a monster 4th of July celebration on Monday, July 5th. Nelson Crews of Kansas City will be the orator of the day and a great time is anticipated. Col. Devean died June 9th, 1909 at his home in Savannah, Ga. He was collector of customs for the port of Savannah. He had been in the customs service more than forty years. At one time he was the ranking military officer in Georgia. For some years he was the Grand Master of the Colored Masons in Georgia. He was a lover of his race, a prominent society man and always advocated justice to and for all with whom he had dealings. Suppose it would take all of your fingers and toes and then some more to count the black millionaires in the United States, don't you think that the color of a man's skin would not be a barrier? Then,suppose a combination of these men with all their black brethren behind them demanded certain rights or restrictions, don't you know it would be immediately granted. Why capital has made America what it is today and unless we get a good strong hold on more of this world's goods we cannot hope to demand and then back up that demand.—Oklahoma Tribune. For the first time in the history of Ohio an Ohio city has named a prominent street for a Negro. Baxter street has by enactment of the city council been changed a name to Dunbar avenue, in honor of Dayton's distinguished deceased poet, Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The movement to change the name of the street from Baxter street to Dunbar avenue was put forward by Edward T. Banks, manager of the colored Y. M. C. A. In doing this, Mr. Banks has made it possible for the name of Dunbar to be called thousands of times each day while Dayton exists and business is transncted within her borders. The latest political gossip is that James C. Napier, one of the South's brightest and best men, is to be named for an important place in Washington—a station of the $4,000 grade; and it also stated that the appointment is to carry especial significance from the fact that the position to be given him has not previously been held by a colored man. The local wise acres are patiently awaiting develments. Mr. Napier was one of the original Taft supporters and did much to swing Tennessee into the Taft column at a critical moment. That he is deserving of handsome recognition goes without the saying. Some years ago Mr. Napier declined the Bahian consulate, his large business interests makinginadvisable for him to leave the United States at that time. He is chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League and has been a vital force in the organization since its inception at Boston in 1900. NEGRO GIVES UP FIGHT FOR ESTATE Greeley, Colo., June 14.—The unusual proceeding of a winning plaintiff returning to the unsuccessful defendant practically all property recovered by the former rather than take chances of an appeal to the district court, was witnessed today when Isaac Brown, colored, returned through an attorney for the conservator of the Clara Alward estate all of the horses, cattle, mortgages, jewelry, legal papers, etc., in Brown's possession, obtained by suit from the estate. The story of how Brown was employed by Mrs. Alward on her ranch near Hudson for twenty years, of Mrs. Alward's insanity, her removal to the Pueblo asylum and the startling claims of the Negro, who declared he was Mrs. Alward's husband, were topics of interest here for months. The filing of claims by the negro against the estate and his success of winning the suit because there were no witnesses to appear for Mrs. Alward, caused much discussion. The Negro obtained practically all the personal property on the ranch, showed a mortgage on the 160-acre farm, claimed $2,500 due him for work, and it was feared under the conditions that all the insane woman's property would pass into his hands. Attorney Ewing discovered that Mrs. Alward had a sister, Mrs. Emma Eastman of San Diego, Cal., and when the latter was informed of conditions here, she sold her property that she might aid her sister. Brown, alarmed by her vigor and persistence, voluntarily offered to restore the property and the mortgage and withdrew all proceedings in court, thus leaving the Alward farm, valued at $5,000, unnumbered. Mrs. Alward was a member of one of the most aristocratic families in Evans in the early 70s. Her father was a representative in the territorial legislature from Weld county and she and her sister were then considered the most beautiful girls in this locality. N.O. 41 EXTRACTS FROM BOOKER WASHINGTON'S SPEECH EXTRACTS FROM BOOKER WASHINGTON'S SPEECH In an address delivered to a representative audience in New York a few days ago, Dr. Booker T. Washington told the members of the race the following facts: "Commerce," he said, "is bringing the people together, making them forget parties, race and color. It is making it so that the southern white man does not know he lives in the South and the Northern white does not know he lives in the North. So these two sections of the great white race are getting together on the dollar, and if we do not get together they will drive us to the wall. If the Negro thinks the two sections are going to continue to fight over him he is greatly mistaken. "Commerce—the dollar—draws no color line," Dr. Washington asserted earnestly. "The man who produces what somebody else wants will get the trade. If a Negro goes into the poultry business, for example, and ships eggs to New York, nobody will draw the color line on those eggs; the cashier in the bank will receive the producer's deposit just as cheerfully as he would if that producer were the whitest man in New York." In speaking of the qualities of confidence and pluck Dr. Washington remarked: "You remember when a certain man of our race started for Australia the question was showered upon him, 'Aren't you afraid of race prejudice in that white man's country?' Warnings were sounded that the color line would be drawn sharply. "He held himself erect," continued the speaker. "He brushed away others' fears and advised his friends 'never to mind about that color line, but put your dollars on me.' Somebody telegraphed by wireless from Boston asking him if he were not afraid his color would defeat him, and he wired back, 'Send me no telegrams about that color line, but put your dollars on me.' "Suppose he had gone to Australia crestfallen, shouting he was much opposed and the whites would not give him a square deal, would he have won? Ah, it is a godsend he did win. It shows the Negro race what determination will do. What the world wants is success. Hold up your successes; don't herald your gloom. What the German, the Italian and the American has accomplished it is possible for the Negro to do." Gems.

The witness said he offered Mr. Cleveland | $2,000 for the series. March 5th, Brandenburg called at Mr. Cleveland’s office and received from him a scattered mass of material, fifteen or eighteen groups of papers of four or five sheets each, ‘The contents of these sheets was made into an arti- cle, signed Grover Cleveland. Bran- denburg said he transcribed them himself and that either March 6th or |7th he took the typewritten sheets to Mr, Cleveland, who made corrections ts them. The sheets were again trans- scribed. The first drafts of the article were shown to Mr. Baker of Everybody's Magazine. Mr. Brandenburg said his ‘next, and last, interview with Mr. Cleveland was be.ween the 12th and 16th of March. Jn this occasion the witness said Mr. Cleveland complained of feeling ill, and did not care to dis- ‘cuss the matter. Brandenburg placed ‘a carbon copy of the article before the expresident and laid the corrected drafts and yellow sheets on the table. “I read the whole article over to him,” Brandenburg testified. “He then took the article from me and looked it over casually, with a pen in his hand, which he was continually dipping.in the ink, He made no correc. tions, and when he was through he signed the last page of that carbon copy and did not blot the signature, but allowed it to -dry.” Brandenburg was shown the alleged Cleveland signature in evidence, and declared it was not the signature Mr. Cleveland affixed to the article, He said he had never seen the siguature in evidence alleged to have been clipped from the article Brandenburg sold, until it was produced at the trial. Handed the Cleveland article in ev- idence, the one alleged to have been sold to the Times, Brandenburg was asked if that was the original Cleve- land article, prepared by him person- ally and signed by Mr. Cleveland. “I can say positively that it is not,” testified Brandenburg, Brandenburg said a number of peo- ple had seen the original Cleveland ar- ticle before August 10th, the day on which Miss Bacon had testified she transcribed the one in evidence, It was in possession of the Broadway Magazine some time in July, he said, | and G, E.

It will be occupied by both the National museum and the Smithsonian institu- tion. The present museum building is so crowded that many of the most inter- esting collections that have been ac- quired by the government in recent years cannot be exhibited. Work on the new museum was start- ed about three years ago. The plans were prepared by a firm of well-known Washington architects. Mr. Marshall and W. H. Holmes, the curator of the museum, spent months in inspecting the celebrated museums of Hurope with a view to profiting by the advantages of the foreign museum buildings and avoiding the mistakes of their construction. The building is of white granite, with a massive dome, somewhat simi- Jar to that of the Congressional l- brary.

He wants substituted for it a meal worthy of a grown up man. There must in future be a cup of soup, a bit of roast or fish, a vegetable or two, a season- able desert or fruit, and a glass of iced tea or buttermilk.” ‘The members of Mr. Taft's cabinet who have been conforming to the “simple lunch” habit set by their boss manifested their exultation by a chorus of joyful thanksgiving.

He supervised Blaine’s speeches and would furnish focal data and make suggestion for replies to addresses of welcome, On the morning the delegation headed by Dr. Burchard called on Blaine, Devine was obliged to go to Brooklyn to attend the funeral of his wife’s father.

Upon arrival at the hotel Devine sought Blaine and asked him about the speech, showing him the newspaper account. “[ don't know a thing about it," said Blaine. “Did Burchard say that?” Blaine told Devine how he had gone out on the landing of the stairway to see the delegation of ministers, head. ed by Dr. Burchard. Dr. Burchard, so Blaine said, read his speech in a sing-song voice, and Blaine, who was thinking of what he should say in reply, did not pay particular attention to it, Blaine said also that he had been so admirably looked after up to that time by Devine that it never occurred to him that he was likely to make a fatal error in agreeing to what Dr. Burehard had to say, and he had not heard the fatal expression of Dr. Burchard until Devine called his at tention to it in the newspapers. ‘Of course, Mr. Devine,” Blaine said, “we know what I would have suid had that been called to my at- tention.” Blaine’s friends here say he always attributed his defeat more to Dr: Burehard than to any other cause.

THE LION AND THE LAMB PRESIDENT TAFT says that race prejudice in the South is fast diminishing, and that all claims to the contrary are the claims of fanatics. The President is doing his best to appease it, but it is barely possible that as he walks about upon its plastic surface he sinks in so deep that he cannot see so far around him as other men can see. There was less prejudice between the lion and the lamb when they laid down together with the lamb inside the lion. The teachings of opportunists, that self-improvement allays prejudice, may be correct, but it seems to us that when it decreases in one way it breaks out more savagely in many other ways. We are not exactly pessimistic, but our faith in soft soap as a diet has been sorely tried. IN THE BISHOP'S CARRIAGE THE press dispatches of June 14th, contained an unpleasant bit of news involving the personal safety of Bishop E. W. Lampton, of the A. M. E. Church, and the dignity of all religious organization or conviction among colored people. The Bishop's home is in Greenville, Miss., and in the course of some ordinary business transaction on the date mentioned, an ordinary telephone operator addressed the Bishop's daughter, an Oberlin college girl, in the disrespectful manner common to Southern men of the cracker type. The Bishop demanded that his daughter be addressed as "Miss," like any other respectable young woman would be addressed, and the more indignant "cracker," resenting this demand, spread the news over the town, whose offended white population got together in a quickly-called meeting and framed a notice to the Bishop, giving him and his family five hours to get out of Greenville, with a threat of lynching if he failed to heed the notice. Within the time limited the Bishop and his daughter fled the town, taking a train for Ohio. Undoubtedly the Bishop thus saved his life and that of his daughter, and reduced the disgrace of the town of Greenville one degree, but the peculiar character of the situation arouses regret that even in the face of so grave a danger, the Bishop did not stand his ground. What is the use of being a bishop if you cannot be a man? To voluntarily choose death in vindication of religious dignity may seem foolish to some people, but it is a principle which the founders of the church upheld when civilization and religious toleration were less advanced than they are today. The addition of the aggravated conditions of a race problem to such a situation does not alter the principle involved, and the sacrifice of a life under such circumstances would have exalted the Negro church and chastened all religion throughout America. It is easy to advise others to accept martyrdom, we know, but it is hard to see the highest and most sacred ideals of even a groveling people ignominiously disgraced. As an ordinary individual, Bishop Lampton was wise to flee, but the Negro church will have no standing in Mississippi as long as it is remembered that one of its bishops is a fugitive from the state. If the Negro church were other than a Christian church, the situation would be slightly changed, but a Christian church without dignity or respect in a Christian community is a living indictment against all religion. The Negroes of Mississippi might as well be savages, like their white neighbors and examplars. CHRISTIANITY'S COURSE OF CONQUEST. THE command given to the Christian disciples to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel," is the basis of all missionary activity and of all hope for the final triumph of the Christian religion among all men. That this hope is far-reaching may be better realized when it is remembered that the adherents of Christianity at the present day—nearly nineteen centuries after its birth as a "world's religion,"—comprise only a small minority of the world's population and that a far greater number are counted among the followers of Mohammedanism and the Pagan religions. But Christianity is considered the only progressive religion, and, as the faith of the world's most progressive people, its field of active conquest is not limited by national borders or the intrenchment of other faith, nor yet by the black chaos of heathendom, but it rather seeks their peaceful overthrow and ultimate conquest. Nevertheless it is worthy of remark that while Christianity is sending missionaries abroad through the world, some of the so-called non-progressive religions are assuming to send teachers to us, for the philosophers of India, of Japan and even of China, have already made themselves known to us by cults preached in isolated missions or introduced through our receptive forms of literature. The Boxer uprising in China some years ago, the over-curious and suspicious regard of the Japanese, the evidence of distrust and rebellion among England's dependent aliens in India and the recent massacres of Christians at Adana in the Turkish provinces, all tend to show that the course of Christian conquest in countries already religiously developed is not so peaceful as might be wished and that it is clouded in no little doubt. The only great division of the human family which has manifested a full, free and unreserved disposition to accept the white man's religion is the African, and the remarkable destiny which has planted a strong branch of that pagan race in the heart of a Christian country and rendered it easily and readily responsive to Christian teachings, places that whole racial stock in the foreground of the natural field of Christian conquest. At the same time it establishes a test for Christianity which must either prove or disprove its sufficiency as a world religion. Millions of souls are here brought within reach of that faith which seeks to light the world and it seems that the redeeming forces of Christianity ought to here exert its greatest energies. The American Negro, the converted branch of the African, offers an instrument of direction of untold power, whose development in every direction means more for the ultimate vindication of Christianity than all other proselytizing efforts in the world combined. Remedy Is Great Question By JOHN A. HOWLAND HOUSANDS of young men to-day find themselves in positions which they feel they have outgrown, and who, looking ahead in the establishments with which they are connected, fail to see sufficient in the future for them to remain longer in such positions—if they can help it. T But inevitably the question which follows upon the heels of this consciousness is. What am I to do about it? No man ever will or can frame a practical, general scheme of advice which will even approximate the answer to such a question. Not even a constituted, practical advisory board designed for such a purpose could venture that advice in individual instances if the board were called upon to assume the risk that might be attendant upon it. It devolves upon the questioning young man himself to decide for himself, and the conditions affecting no two men can be exactly alike in even material details. One of the first deterrents which may occur to the conventional young man in such a position is that hoary axiom, "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Then in the next instant he may recall that other trite philosophy, "Nothing ventured, nothing won." He can't reconcile the two as in any way applicable in his case. Such observations seldom ever do fit a fixed condition. They are about as practicable as would be the discovery of the "fourth dimension." In my experience of men of the world, too much fabled emphasis has been laid upon the accomplishments credited to successful individuals who, through a fixed, unswerving purpose, moved forward under all manner of handicaps to the full attainment of an ambition. So much of this has been talked and written that it is proving a detriment, often, to young men who, without such fabulous history, might have ventured more or less blindly and yet won. Not one of these successful men in 50 really reached his goal according to his own plans and methods! If he could see it he would realize that he has shifted, modified, changed, and backed up on half the plans he ever figured on as certainties. PETER H. To the dissatisfied young men, then, I may say: Be sure of your fitness for that something better; be sure of your nerve and grit; consider that the element of chance is not to be eliminated. Then move—or decide to stay where you are just as long as you can! "Why didn't you take that girl?" I once asked an employer. She was young, alert, pretty, in looks all that a girl should be, with a bright, speaking face, that on being turned away showed clearly her disappointment. What could he possibly have against her? When Not to Wear Jewelry By KATHERINE SHOPE Jewelry By KATHERINE SHOPE "Did you notice the diamond rings she wore?" was his reply. As an ardent champion of my sex I flared up instantly. "What if she did?" I cried indignantly. "They were heirlooms likely, and awfully good ones at that. Her hands were perfectly kept, and they certainly looked well on them. Why shouldn't she wear them if she wants to?" "O, that's all right," he replied wearily, "but I've tried it once too often. The other girls won't stand for it. They either make life unbearable for her—or they all want the same." That was years ago. Since I've learned to applaud his wisdom. Perhaps no one thing is so responsible for so many needless heartburnings and dissensions in an office as the presence of one bird of bright plumage among a group of sober little wrens. So long as all the girls dress plainly—well and good. No one worried over the unattainable glories of the shop windows. But enter one girl with an unbridled taste for jeweled buckles and lace collars and an epidemic of foolish spending soon sets in. This employer had seen it—and knew. More than that, any girl who enters a business office richly clothed or decked with expensive jewelry invites certain criticism. No matter how clear her conscience, how straight her path, shafts of unflattering comment are at once leveled her way. "If Miss Blank can wear such clothes why should she work?" It's a not-unnatural query, be it admitted. There's an incongruity between hundred-dollar rings and ten-dollar salaries. Many a girl has ruined her chances by just such useless display. But if she is really a wise girl, with an eye for her office advancement, she will leave the bright baubles at home. Man Needs More Real Liberty By WILLIAM HAWTRY "It's all right to talk about woman suffrage," said William Hawtrey, an English actor playing in "An Englishman's Home," "but what I think we all need is more liberty for men. "Women have a lot more real liberty than men. Take the question of hats, for instance. Get a crowd of men together and shout 'Hats off,' and every one of us gets bareheaded in the shortest possible time. Could you do it with women? Not in a million years. Why, they had to pass laws before they could get women to take off their hats in the theaters. "Suppose a man came home at night and told his wife that he'd bought a new blue hat that was a perfect dream. Would she be interested in the hat? Not at all. A new hat. The idea! Why he had a perfectly good derby that he wore last fall. What possible use could he have for two hats? His mind must be affected. "Just suppose; I say just suppose, for of course no man would have the courage to do it, but just for the sake of argument let us suppose that a fellow did tell his wife that he thought her last season's hat was good enough for this season. Can you imagine what his life would be for the rest of the summer? "No, sir; what is really needed is more freedom for men."

The trial occupied the whole day and was hotly contested from beginning to end. The jury, however, reached their verdict in a single ballot, in less than five minutes after retiring, thus sustaining every charge made by the plaintiff. Joseph H. Stuart was attorney for the plaintiff, T. S. Rector. LAST CALL. The I. G. A. banquet is next Thursday evening, July 1st, at Dania hall. Price per plate is $1.

Kartoffel Salad.—Cut into small pieces Julienne fashion cold boiled potatoes, two cupfuls or more, and cover with the foliowing dressing: Two tablespoonfuls of olive oil (or melted butter, if preferred) one of cider vinegar, one teaspoon- tatoes, two cupfuls or more, and cover with the following dressing: Two tablespoonfuls of olive oil (or melted butter, if preferred) one of cider vinegar, one teaspoonful of onion juice, a saltspoonful of salt, and one of black pepper. Allow the potatoes to marinate in this for half an hour, placing directly on ice to chill. When ready to serve add three chopped hard boiled eggs, three small onions grated, one tablespoonful of minced pickled beet, eight finely sliced olives, and two tablespoonfuls of minced parsley. Thoroughly blend the ingredients together, adding one cupful of mayonnaise dressing, to which has been added two ounces of cooked bologna sausage rubbed to a paste. Arrange in cup of crisp lettuce leaves, decorating with hearts of blanched celery and cubes of aspic jelly. Cabbage and Pimento Salad.—Shave one medium sized head of cabbage, mix through a generous teaspoonful of salt, one small can of pimentos (red peppers), cut in small pieces, mix with salad dressing which has already been made from this recipe: Yolks of two eggs beaten, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-half tablespoonful of flour, one teaspoonful of mustard, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, and a dash of white pepper; stir all together with the eggs, then add one-half cupful of milk and one-fourth cupful of vinegar. Cook in double boiler till it thickens. If too thick when ready to use it may be thinned with cream. Pea Salad.—One can of small peas, drained; one-fourth of a pound cream cheese, one dozen small pickles, one tablespoonful of finely chopped onions. The cheese and pickles should be cut fine. Add mayonaise dressing. Will serve twelve. French Salad.—Drain the liquor from half a can of peas, add one pint of finely cut celery, one cupful of blanched and broken English walnut meats, and one cupful of tart oranges cut into small pieces. Toss together lightly, garnish with tender white celery leaves, and mayonnaise. Set in a cool place until wanted. Orange Salad.—Cut seedless oranges in cubes and cover with the following salad dressing: Yolks of four eggs, one-half cupul sugar, one-quarter cupful butter, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, pinch of mustard, pinch of cayenne pepper. Cream butter, sugar, and eggs, add vinegar, steam in double boiler until the consistency of thick cream. When cold add whipped cream and pour oranges. Add pecan or English walnut kernels. Nest Eggs. Take a nice fresh egg and separate the white and the yolk, so that the yolk will not be broken. Put the white into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and beat it until it is very stiff. Have ready some little bowl that is pretty enough to put on the table, but that will not break in the oven. Pour into this the stiff-beaten white and make a little hole in the middle of it with a spoon. In this little hollow place the yolk, still unbroken. Set the dish in a hot oven and cook for three on four minutes, or until the white has browned a little and the yolk is firm. There must be a separate dish for each egg that you cook in this way. Serve right away.—The Delineator. Removing Scorch. An old negro laundress is responsible for the following cure for bad scorched places caused by too hot irons: A half pint of vinegar is put on the stove in a porcelain lined saucepan. To this is added the juice of a large onion and two ounces of fuller's earth. The mixture is boiled for five minutes, strained, cooled and bottled. In removing the scorch a little of the mixture is put on a clean white linen rag and rubbed over the scorched place until it disappears. Several applications may be necessary. To Pad an Ironing Board. The next time the blanket on your ironing board wears out and you must hunt a new one to replace it try substituting newspapers. Choose thick Sunday editions, the uncolored sections, and tack to the board so that the sheets lie smoothly and of any desired thickness. Cover with muslin in the usual way. Newspapers not only have the merit of being more easily put on and causing your board to be more even, but they can be quickly and easily replaced at no cost. Chocolate Wafers A healthy and economical candy for children is made by making a chocolate filling the same as for cake or candy, then dipping oyster crackers in the candy. Then lay on greased paper or plate until cooled. Griddle Frying. For some kinds of frying the griddle is better and has less tendency to grease than the frying-pan. Among other things potato cakes browned on a hot greased griddle are specially crisp and delicious. Why help pay big rent? We save you 20 per cent on uptown prices CLEMENTS TAILOR 1523 16TH ST.

Denver, Colo PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS VERY BUSY MAN. His Working Hours Taken Up with Callers from Every Part of the Country — White House Sometimes "Worked." One of the most prominent United States senators came out from President Taft's office the other day, having been with him by scheduled time, as it chanced to be recorded, 82 seconds, and yet named to the assembled reporters eight topics of national and international impor- LAURENCE H. BURKE tance which he had discussed with the chief executive. Of course no president of the United States is likely to issue a denial of such a report. Roosevelt overdid the denial business. The statesman himself would probably deny in such a contingency that he had ever given the papers the interview in question; but its issuance helps to make him a big man at home. He is known as conferring with Taft on all sorts of questions, and the amount of beating on the tympanum of the president, which is done purely in aid of the personal ambition of individuals in all walks and grades of life who can get access to him defies exaggeration. A prosperous real estate agent in Washington made his start in life by borrowing White House stationery on which to write letters to his friends in the south while waiting to see a Democratic president of the United States. He used to go regularly to the White House, having no real business with the president, but apparently to borrow the engraved letter heads of the White House with which to impress persons hundreds of miles away from whom he was seeking money for investment in Washington real estate. And the game worked. At the other end of the line he was the house guest of the president. The thrifty promoter rarely took pains to deny this, although he may not absolutely have claimed that honor in so many words. Is it any wonder that the president becomes suspicious? The cabinet room is filled chock a block during all the waking hours with persons who want to see the president. It is said that he does not pass them along so successfully as Roosevelt did. While this may be true, the fault is primarily with the public, which is pressing him with so many requests. The invitations are among the most difficult with which the president has to deal. Any group of men who arrive in Washington think that as the bearer of an invitation to the dedication of something they have a right to see the president, and while Mr. Taft has accepted an extraordinary number he is probably declining more than any other occupant of his office. The trouble is that the founders of the constitution, when the country had but 3,000,000 people, supplied but one man for the presidential office and made little provision for the distribution of its duties among subordinates. One need not go back to Franklin Pierce, who was said to have looked forward to the arrival of a train from this part of the country, which reached Washington in the early evening, because it might bring some welcome callers from his home land, to see the piling up by geometrical ratio of the demands upon the time and attention of the president. Twenty years have made an astonishing difference. The changed use of the telephone is not without its suggestiveness. Twenty years ago the White House contained just one telephone standing against the wall in the northeast corner room, where the office telegrapher made his headquarters. No one responded to it except during office hours. The president's wife used to send out a maid to transmit a message, usually through one of the clerks, perhaps twice a week. No general appointments were made by it except in the rarest emergency. Its use was not greatly different from that of a fire alarm signal. The White House occupants, either of the family or of the clerical staff, had acquired no telephone habit and were virtually uneducated to its possibilities. What is the situation to-day? The White House central, "Main No. 6," is manned day and night. The exchange connects with virtually every room in the mansion, in the office building and in stables; the man at its switchboard partakes of the nature of a private secretary. Upon him is poured a list of appointments and he is busy making them. It seems as if the entire town were connected with the White House, and also the larger centers of the country. The access of the telephone to the old mansion has repeated the experience of the railroad. It has geared up the wheels of business to a newly accelerated speed, with the result that the pressure upon the president's time is unremitting. Afternoon Tea with Mrs. Taft. At her afternoon teas Mrs. Taft serves sandwiches instead of cake, and the table is in the red room. About 25 guests are asked each day to take tea with Mrs. Taft, the invitations being over the telephone. While the guests are arriving a friend pours the tea, but is afterwards relieved by Mrs. Taft, who pours and passes sandwiches and makes the occasion a delightfully informal one. Delights of Keeping House in Washington with Husband Who Is Absent-Minded. It takes Washington a long time to recuperate from the effects of inaugurations and D. A. R.ings. An eminent housewife there, whose husband is the most hospitable statesman who ever kept the domestic soul of better half in consternation, asserted, with fell determination on her gentle face, that no D. A. R. or inauguration week would ever find her at her home in Washington again. No, indeed! Not if she knew herself intimately! She'd do a bit of skipping a few days before in self-defense. Mr. Blank, her husband, in the impromptu generosity of his soul, invited everybody to come and stay with them—relatives, semi-relatives, hemi-demi-semi-relatives—and never remembered to mention the matter to her until after the infux of surprising guests. At a smart tea at the Congressional club during inauguration week this same long-suffering Mrs. Blank was accompanied by a friend, who suddenly greeted an old friend of her own, a stranger in Washington, unfamiliar to Mrs. Blank. "Where are you staying?" Mrs. Blank's companion asked the new lady. "I'm stopping with Mrs. Blank," the stranger replied, debonairly. "With you?" Mrs. Blank's companion turned to her in amaze. The little lady with the hospitable and unremembering husband endeavored to hide her consternation at the news. With noncommital acquiescence she smiled and nodded. "Oh, I don't mean that Mrs. Blank," the visitor exclaimed. "You see," said Mrs. Blank to her friend, as she turned away, relieved, "I didn't know but what the lady was the wife of one of Mr. Blank's constituents he had invited to be our in auguration guest, and had neglected to tell me. He does that sort of thing all the time." GOT LIGHT FROM PRESIDENT Visitor to Washington Long Ago Tells of His Experience with Gen. Grant. "Washington," said the first man, "always makes me think of the time when I was a boy." "Indeed?" mildly inquired the second individual. "Yes. When I was quite young I was here for a short time, and while out walking one morning I stopped to talk with a group of men. It was a pleasant morning, and the crowd looked interesting, so I joined them, as a young man will. I had not been talking with them long when a gentleman approached. It was President Grant. He was taking his usual walk along Pennsylvania avenue. Not thinking about him, I asked for a match. No one of the crowd had one. Then an idea occurred to one, and he said: 'I dare you to ask the president for a light.' Well, as I said before, I was only a young kid. I would not take a dare. So I walked up to the president when he came abreast of me and said: 'Good morning.' He politely raised his hat in returning the salutation. 'Would you be so kind as to give me a light?' I was not sure what the result would be, and was a trifle nervous. The president replied: 'Why, certainly,' and, taking the ever-present black cigar from his mouth, passed it to me and I lighted my cigarette from the end of it. Then, with a remark as to the beauty of the weather, he again raised his hat and with a 'Good mornin', went his way." Legends of the Potomaca There is a wealth of tradition clinging to the beautiful Potomac river, for every turn and curve throughout its winding course has witnessed some incident either tragic or romantic. Some of these have been immortalized in song and story, and have come down through the long span of years. The numerous Indian tribes were always at war with one another, and from one of the conflicts we get the legend of "The Three Sisters." Three Indian braves, brothers, were captured in battle by the enemy and were tortured to death. Their sweethearts three sisters, upon hearing of their bereavement, decided to join their lovers in the happy hunting ground, so they swam well out into the river and drowned themselves, and on the morning following this tragedy, it is said, the three rocks in the river appeared and were named the Three Sisters in memory of the girls who chose death as a solace for their grief. On the anniversary of this drowning the ghostly forms of the sisters appear standing on the top of the rocks and wringing their hands. Other tales have a later origin. Old fishermen used to tell of a phantom army coming up the river in spectral boats and landing their silent company on Braddock's Rock. Upon approach they would clamber up the rock and disappear in the shadows, to again return and enact the beginning of Gen. Braddock's march. Phantom Worker in Capitol. The negro scrubbers tell harrowing tales of the long halls in the House wing of the national capitol. A long time ago one of their number suddenly died while at work in the early hours of the morning. Now the story they tell is that his ghost may be seen and heard at work at regular times. The negroes tell that the splashing of the spectral water and the sound of the scraping of the phantom pall as it is moved along the marble floor in the progress of the work is an real as the noise of their own aborbs.

WON'T MIX Bad Food and Good Health Won't Mix. The human stomach stands much abuse but it won't return good health if you give it bad food. If you feed right you will feel right, for proper food and a good mind is the sure road to health. "A year ago I became much alarmed about my health for I began to suffer after each meal no matter how little I ate," says a Denver woman. "I lost my appetite and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the result that I was not nourished and got weak and thin. "My home cares were very heavy, for besides a large family of my own I have also to look out for my aged mother. There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might, I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some one with trouble just like mine being cured on Grape-Nuts food and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. The first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain disappeared as if by magic and in an incredibly short space of time I was myself again. Since then I have gained 12 pounds in weight through a summer of hard work and realize I am a very different woman, all due to the splendid food, Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Trial will prove.
