SUPREM GRAND NATIONAL GRAND SESSION RESUME OF THE K GRAND CHANCELLORS A PYTHIAN SUPREME GRAND LODGE. The Pythian Supreme Grand Lodge closed its session at Kansas City last week. For the first time in the history of this very august body, the session was held in the West. To bring so many splendidly equipped men into this thriving, hustling section of Uncle Sam's domain is a rare treat to those who come and a lasting benefit to the people of the West. This meeting afforded an exceptional opportunity for a large number of the brilliantly educated men of our race to come in touch with the Afro-American live-wire in a locality where the masses are doing so much in the racial uplift. The membership of the Supreme Council are all leaders in their respective homes. Many came from the Southland, with but meager and distorted ideas of the West. The opportunity for the dominant Negro element of the East, South and North to come in touch with the history-making Negro of the West afforded a mutual chance that each could understand the other. The sad death of Supreme Chancellor Samuel W. Starks at his home in Charleston, W. Va., removed one of the most conspicuous figures in Pythianism. In himself he was a colossus, large in heart and mind. A leader of men and a capable and thorough organizer. Special services were held by the Supreme Grand Lodge in memory of his great worth to all Pythianism, and the loss to mankind of so grand a character. The Supreme session was presided over by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, La. His annual address was the special feature. In it was thoroughly covered the work of the order since the last meeting. He laid especial emphasis on the necessity of great care in selecting material for the order. The order was one of the great pillars of the race. Teaching as it does the sublime lessons of self-sacrifice, nobility of character and a high respect for all womanhood, it could not but help in the upward and onward fight of the race. He pointed to the remarkable material prosperity of the order. A temple erected in New Orleans at a cost of $300,000, unexcelled for beauty of architectural design and magnificence of furnishings, it will for- ever stand as a monument to the race. From all parts of the country comes the ever welcome news of real estate purchases for various purposes. He said: "We must contribute to the material uplift of the common country. A pauper is not wanted anywhere and if we are to be the pauper race in civilization, then, indeed, our future is dark. The sooner we learn this the better it will be for us as a race. Why sit down and wait for others to do for us what we can do for ourselves?" With this splendid review—not only of the work of the order, but also of the race, the doings of the Supreme Council will make interesting reading for everybody. COLORADOANS AND THE NEW OFFICERS. The Colorado Statesman announced the departure of the representatives from this state to attend the Supreme Grand Lodge at Kansas City. They have returned. They went, were seen, and were admired of men and women. Our Grand Chancellor, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, belongs to the "get there" class and he sat alongside the Supreme Grand Chancellor. His splendid speech on the race question, in which he pointed out the advancement of the Negro out here, marked him as one of the coming men of the Supreme Council. He has done a great work for Pythians in this state. To his untiring energy and business ability must be credited the increased number of lodges and members, and the placing of the state on a strong financial basis. In the work of representing our state the doctor was ably and enthusiastically assisted by the other members of the delegation. Colorado was there in large letters and they won. The great interest of the session was centered about the election of Suprem Grand officers. Almost every state had a successor for Mr. Starks. After much milling the following Supreme officers were elected: Supreme Chancellor—Sir S. W. Green of New Orleans, La. Supreme Vice Chancellor—Sir John W. Strauther of Mississippi. P. S. C.—Sir E. A. Williams. S. P.—Rev. Sir A. H. Newton. S. L.—L. M. Mitchell. S. M. of E.—John H. Young. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1909.

With the election and installation over, the work of the Supreme Council was soon closed. Kansas City sustained her widely known reputation as a convention town. Everyone was cared for. The notable feature was the banquet given by Second Baptist Church to the members of the Supreme Lodges. It was a cordial meeting and the hospitality shown will live long in the memory of all who attended. THE CALANTHE. The Supreme Court of Calanthe held its session at Kansas City. John W. Strauthers as Supreme Worthy Counsellor presided. The work of the woman's branch was in excellent condition. This is one of the largest organized body of women in America and they are doing much for the race. BRAVERY OF NEGRO WORKMAN Pittsburg, Pa., August 14. Major Smith, a giant Negro employed by the Malleable Iron Company inside the plant, was on his way to work last Thursday, when he was attacked by a mob of fifty strikers. Smith killed Stephen Horvat, one of the strike leaders, and wounded four others before his gun was emptied. He was beaten almost to death by the mob. A stone hit him on the head, felling him. Instantly a dozen strikers were on him, kicking and beating him with clubs and stones. He rose on one elbow, and, and getting his revolver, began to shoot. At the first shot the strikers fled, all but Horvat, who sank to the ground after running a few steps. Four others fell with blood dripping, but they managed to stagger away, so that even their names could not be learned. Smith is in the hospital and will recover. PYTHIANS AND ELKS AFFEETEE Atlanta, Ga., August 25.—In this state a bitter fight is on between the white and colored secret organizations, due to the action of Gov. Brown in affixing the signature to a bill passed by the Georgia Legislature prohibiting the use by Negro secret societies of the insignia, ritualistic work, grips, etc., of orders composed of whites While the act is supposed to legislate out of existence the Negro Knights of Pythias and Elks, whose names are identical with those of the white Pythians and Elks, the Negro Masons and Odd Fellows are hot affected, the reason being given that both of these organizations have names slightly different from the white Masonic and Odd Fellows organizations. Twenty-fifth INfantry Coming Within a few weeks more and the famous Twenty-Fifth Infantry Company of the United States Army will be stationed at Ft. Lawton, which is a Seattle suburb. The brave black boys, who have won fame on a hundred hard-fought battlefields are deserving of a rest and they will to an extent get it at Ft. Lawton. For the past two years they have been doing service in the Philippine Islands, where they have been compelled to do a great deal of field service. It has been said that a mild protest was registered by a few Seattleites when it was learned that the War Department had determined to station colored troops at Ft. Lawton, but it was not effective enough to cause the department to give it the least bit of consideration. From persons who have lived near other places where the Twenty-Fifth has been stationed it is learned that a more orderly set of soldiers never went into camp, and that the Seattle citizens will not have a hundredth part as much trouble with the colored soldiers as they have had with the white soldiers. Colored society is all agog over the coming of the soleiers, for it will mean many pleasant social affairs for the Afro-Americans of this section.—Seattle Republican. LETTERS SENT TO PROMINENT PERSONS BY BOOKER WASHINGTON Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed 136 letters to prominent persons in different parts of the country in regard to the education of the Negro. His first question was: "Has education made the Negro economical and more inclined to acquire wealth?" To this question 98 replied "Yes"; 14 "No" 24 did not answer. Another question was, "Has education improved the morals of the black race?" Ninety-seven replied "Yes," two "No," 19 did not answer. The third question was, "Does it make him a more valuable workman, especially where skill and thought are required?" One hundred and two answered "Yes," two "No," two did not answer. The fourth question was, "Is it as a rule the ignorant or educated Negro who commits crime?" One hundred and fifteen answered "the ignorant, five the educated, 17 did not answer. The last question was," "Does crime grow less as education increases among the colored people?" One hundred and two answered "Yes," 19 "No," 15 did not answer. —Seattle Republican. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Richmond, Va.—During the past three years the various colored secret organizations have transferred all their moneys from the white banks to the colored banks of this city. "We do not do this for spite or from race prejudice, but we felt the need of making work for people. Monroe, La., Aug. 24.—Half-crazed either by whisky or cocaine, Bill Way, colored, from Pine Bluff Arkansas, dashed down the main street of Monroe today with a double-barreled shotgun firing in every direction. Citizens returned the fire and Way fell after receiving a score or more of wounds, but not before he had injured twenty-one persons. When the colored man fell his body was dragged to a public square and burned in the presence of several thousand people. According to the latest statistics there are 4,000 Afro-Americans in London, a large number in Paris and not a few in Edinburgh. The major portion are from the United States, and they are said to be doing well in business and the professions. Many who go from America with tourists as servants remain on the continent. The London colony of Afro-Americans is attracting wide attention in the business life of the city. The rise of the Mosaic Templars the fraternal order of Arkansas original with the Negro, which is now preparing to erect a $50,000 temple demonstrates the ability of the Negro to get together without the assistance of a white man's name. We admit of course that both "Mosiac" and "Templar" do have caucasion origins and that both were leaders in retreat and not progress The Atkins and Howard factions of the Elks failed to unite in Detroit though both met in the same hall and were addressed by Mayor Breitmeyer. It is unfortunate that these organizations can not join their strength and realize their possibilities but we imagine that our regrets are not shared so largely by the joyous Elks. Columbus, Ohio, August 24. One hundred Negro recruits to the United States Army arrived at the Columbus Barracks last week, coming from Atlanta, where their sudden determination to work for the government is said to have N.O. 51 crippled seriously the domestic and business economics of a number of institutions where they were a necessary, if humble part of the macninery. Stores and hotels from which the recruits were gathered, for the most part, are saying naughty things about the United States. The sudden ambition for military service on the part of the Negro is said to be due to the enthusiastic reception accorded the 'Tenth cavalry, which has just returned from a three years' scouting in campaign the Philippines. There are a number of enlistments expiring in this regiment and Negrocs are wanted to fill the ranks. The honors bestowed upon the recently returned soldiers makes this a relatively simple matter with the enlisting officers. Washington, August. 23.—"Not guilty" is the verdict of the naval court which tried Davis Williams, the Negro mess attendant of the battleship Vermont, who caused the death of a brother sailor as the result of a boxing bout and who was tried for manslaughter. News of the acquittal was received through a dispatch from Rear Admiral Schroeder, commanding the Atlantic battleship fleet, now engaged in target practice at the Southern drill grounds off Cape Henry. In consequence of the verdict, Williams will be turned over to the Georgia authorities, who want him for trial on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, the alleged offense having been committed before his enlistment in the navy. Atlanta. August 23.—James A. Smith, a rich planter, ex-State Senator and once candidate for Governor of Georgia, is accused of employing agents to kidnap Negroes and carry them to his plantation in Oglethorpe county and there hold them in peonage. The charges against Smith developed when Simon Rouse, one of his alleged agents was arrested in Atlanta accused of kidnapping and held under $1,000 bond. Sensational testimony was introduced to the effect that Negroes were held on the Smith farm for indefinite periods without pay and that they were treated in the same manner as convicts. Many blacks who had been on the farm were present and said that when they made any effort to leave they were whipped unmercifully and put in chains. KRYPTOK FAR VISION Without Lines in the Lens MEAR VISION You read and look afar with equal facility, but no one observes that you are wearing bifocals because the usual "lines" are absent.

THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROG RESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Kaiser died at Salt Lake from eating dumplings in which Mrs. Kaiser inadvertently used arsenic instead of baking powder. One man was killed, one fatally injured and four persons badly bruised when an electric car on the upper Albina line at Portland, Ore., struck a wagon containing a party of picnickers on Williams avenue. The railroad running time from Chicago to Seattle will be reduced sixty-two hours—ten hours below the present schedule—as the first move in a war declared upon all western and northwestern roads by James J. Hill of the Great Northern. With seven thousand men in line the San Francisco Schuetzenverein began the celebration of its golden jubilee with a parade on Market street, followed by a journey across the bay to Oakland, where the festivities will continue for eight days. In the parade was a company of German riflemen that made its initial appearance on the streets of the city fifty years ago. At the time of the assassination of President Lincoln this company for several days policed the city. The pure food conditions in the Cripple Creek district is being investigated. The investigators are Fred Long of Denver and S. S. Bellesfield of Pueblo, both of the state board of health. They are endeavoring to secure the passage of a city ordinance which will more closely define the duties of the grocery man and the meat man of the district to their patrons in the sale of goods. The dalries of the district have already been investigated and found to be in good condition. In an effort to reach the bedside of her sister, Lady James Henry Pierce, who was reported to be at death's door at her country estate near London, Miss Rose McCary, a prominent young woman of Grand Junction, left for New York, and she will sail from there for Liverpool. Lady Pierce was a former Colorado girl and has many friends in the state. She visited in Denver and Grand Junction last spring, and was a conspicuous figure at the wedding of another sister to Arthur Wadsworth, which took place in Denver. Ever since returning to England she has been in poor health, but the cablegram yesterday afternoon was the first intimation of the seriousness of her illness. Consternation reigned supreme at Vancouver, Wash., in the form of live hornets, which were thrown into the midst of a Christian Endeavor meeting at a church a few miles east of Vancouver. Some person, whose identity is unknown, sacked up a nest of large hornets, possibly getting the nest when it was cool. When the meeting was in progress the sack was flung through the open window, the end being left untied. One of the young men in the church picked up the sack by the wrong end and the hornets' nest fell out and the pesky creatures were freed. There was something doing for a short time, and the church was surrendered to the hornets. Whoever threw the sack is wisely saying nothing. GENERAL NEWS Prince Nicholas, third son of King George of Greece, in view of the military agitation has asked to be allowed to resign from the post of inspector of artillery. In the 400 years' search for the North Pole 753 lives were sacrificed. The first exploration was made by Sir Hugh Willoughby and 62 escorts. All were lost. In 1648 Deshneff started to find the Pole and 70 perished. Moscow is being extensively hung with flags and otherwise decorated in honor of the approaching arrival of Emperor Nicholas, who will pass through the city early in September on his way to the Crimea. The Emperor has not been in Moscow since 1904. All records are broken by the New York city directory for 1909, which has just appeared, with the names and addresses of 567,309 persons in Manhattan and the Bronx, indicating a population in those two boroughs of nearly 3,000,-000. In the 1,819 pages there are 3,520 Smith and 1,100 Joneses. Twelve hundred and perhaps more people perished in the flood which swept a large portion of Monterey, Mexico. Conservative estimates place the property damage at $20,000,000. Fifteen thousand people are homeless. More than 500 bodies have been recovered. The bodies, as fast as recovered, are placed along the banks of the river on the higher ground to await identification. The bodies are guarded by soldiers who escort any searcher for a missing friend or relative along the lines of dead. A dispatch from Barcelona says that Antonio Halatypujol, a notorious revolutionist leader in the recent insurrection, was shot in the presence of General Mora. Hester Campbell, a famous Scotch cook, who was employed for many years in the family of former President Roosevelt, died at Montclair, N. J., at the age of 96. She was particularly noted for her recipe of "Johnny cake" and always accompanied the Roosevelts on their trips. Mayor Sweeney of El Paso, Texas, was received Tuesday by President Diaz at the Palace at Chepultepec. The president, through Ambassador Thompson, was tendered a formal invitation by the people of El Paso to visit the city and meet President Taft in October, and he accepted. A survey of the Cunard line steamer Lucania, which caught fire at her dock in Liverpool Aug. 14, and was sunk in order to quench the flames, shows the damage to be so extensive that the Cunard company probably will decide not to repair the vessel. It is estimated it will cost more than $500,000 to refit the steamer. For two months the police in Nashville have been combatting the "odorless drunk." Men are carried into the station house every day drunk with something that leaves no odor on the breath. When they are questioned as to what they have been drinking they almost invariably say "beerette," but "beerette" is not considered an intoxicant. The "odorless drunks" are usually without bottles in their pockets. There were forty-one drunks on the police docket in one day. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, successor to the late John Alexander Dowie as head of the Dowies religious cult, is a prisoner in the McHenry county jail at Woodstock, Ill. The leader of the Dowieites was arrested at his home in Zion City and sentenced to jail in default of payment of a $10,000 judgment rendered against him by Judge Wright in favor of Philip Motherall, a farmer of Montana. The judgment was obtained on a slander charge brought by Motherall. Voliva declared he would stay in jail the entire six months provided by law rather than pay the judgment. A strong earthquake was experienced here shortly after 8 o'clock Monday morning. The people were greatly alarmed, but no serious damage has been reported and no one was injured. The administration buildings of both the government and the canal commission here and at Ancon were so severely shaken that the clerks left their desks hurriedly for the street. They soon returned, however, when it was seem that no damage had been done and that the first shock was not followed by a second. The quake was felt also at Aguadulce, in Cocle province, and at Pacora, in the province of Panama, points more than 100 miles apart. The landing of five great Trans Atlantic liners at Castle Garden taxed the new customs organization to its limit and on the piers they were working all one night examining the baggage of the 3,450 cabin passengers who had arrived during the day. Collector of the Port William Loeb, accompanied by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury James D Reynolds, witnessed the operation of his new customs regulations and the several hundred inspectors under his watchful eye saw that a minimum of foreign merchandise was smuggled into the port. In addition to the 1,024 cabin passengers on the George Washington, the Columbia landed 501 from Glasgow, the Cedric 725, the Cleveland 895, and the Touraine 305 all cabin passengers. The passengers were handled expeditiously and under the eye of the collector. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Postmaster General Hitchcock had an important conference with President Taft regarding the plans he had formulated for cutting down the expense in the postal department. He told the President that the Postoffice Department will show a deficit for the fiscal year ended June 30th last of more than $20,000,000, the largest the service ever knew. The case of the United States vs William B. Hammers. involving the question whether a desert land claim may be assigned before the work of reclamation is completed was docketed in the Supreme Court of the United States. The case was decided in Hammers' favor by the United States District Court for the southern district of California, and the government appeals. Carelessness in the production of timber and recklessness in its use because it has been cheap and abundant, has brought upon the nation a menace which will take many years of vigorous effort by individual forest owners, by the states and by the national government to overcome and to reach the necessary condition of equilibrium between timber production and consumption, says R. S. Kellogg, assistant forester, in a forest service publication issued recently. "We are cutting our forests three times as fast as they are growing," said Mr. Kellogg. "The total yearly drain upon our forests, not counting losses from fires, storm and insects, is some 20,000,000 cubic feet. The annual growth of our forests does not exceed twelve cubic feet per acre a total of less than 7,000,000,000 cubic feet." That the laborers employed by the Pressed Steel Car Company at McKees Rocks, Pa., the scene of the present strike, are not paid the share to which they are entitled under the protective tariff system, is asserted by Secretary Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement made at Washington. The charge is embodied in a request for warded by Morrison to Secretary Nagel for an investigation UNCLE SAM OWNS EARTH'S AXIS WHERE STARS AND STRIPES FLOAT NO NATION DARE INTRUDE. DR. COOK HERO OF AGES DR. COOK HERO OF AGES PREPARATION BEING MADE FOR RECEPTION OF DISCOVERER'S HOME-COMING. Washington.—The United States owns the North pole. There is no question that its discovery by a citizen of this government carries title. The international lawyers and officials of the government say there is no better title than that of discovery. Owning the North pole, does not Uncle Sam own the earth? One of the high government officials tonight loquaciously advanced the proposition that all longitude centers at the pole, and meridians followed would cover the world. No serious question of ownership of the North pole is anticipated in government circles, because no material value attaches to ownership of a spot upon the earth's surface so far removed from civilization as to be beyond the reach of man. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—Dillon Wallace, the author and explorer whose companion, Leonidas Hubbard, got lost and starved to death while exploring Labrador, said that he had implicit faith in Dr. Frederick A. Cook's wonderful feat. Mr. Wallace had almost completed plans for an expedition for the relief of Dr. Cook. "I knew Dr. Cook well," he said. "You may put implicit trust in his veracity. When a boy he exhibited signs of a scientific bent. When he could, he would read of explorers and study their methods. "I have no doubt that Dr. Cook has reached the North pole. He is a man of extreme reliability, fairly scientific and versed in Arctic geographical conditions. He has always manifested truthfulness in every report and concerning explorations in the north he has been very exact. "Another point that would tend to help discourage disparaging statements is that Cook's route was directly to Cracked Land, ending with a swift dash to the pole, which would lie directly north. Thus he would avoid the awful eastern drift of the terrible current in the polar seas north of Greenland." New York.—Preparations already are afoot here to make the home-coming of Dr. Frederick A. Cook an event of national, and possibly international importance. Beverly, Mass.—Neither the President nor Secretary Knox would discuss Dr. Cook's discovery of the north pole. Philadelphia.—"After reading the dispatches I am convinced that the reported discovery of the north pole is a fake!" was the emphatic declaration of Rear Admiral George Melville, U. S. Navy, retired. Paris.—M. Lemes-of, librarian of the Geographical Society and an authority on polar questions, said that while the society had not received direct news of Dr. Cook's explorations, he saw nothing to doubt in the report of the expedition, especially considering the personality of Dr. Cook. Brunswick, Me.—Mrs. Frederick A. Cook, wife of the explorer, declined to talk at length concerning her husband's achievement, declaring she did not desire notoriety. "I am very glaa that my husband has reached the pole and gained the chief faith of his life. I have always had great faith in the success of his undertaking and have never for a moment felt he would not win." Rome.—Professor Millosevitch of the government observatory declares that it would be impossible for Dr. Cook to prove his discovery scientifically, and that he must be believed on his word. Whatever calculations the explorer may make public they will always be founded on a basis the authenticity of which cannot be demonstrated. Smuggle Chinese In Sugar. Tucumcari, N. M.-The largest gang of smuggled Chinese ever captured in this territory were taken in custody here by United States Immigrant Inspector M. F. McGuire and his associate, David Tyre. The Chinese, numbering fourteen in all, were discovered in a sealed car of sugar which was consigned to Kansas City. Pole Discovery Verified: New York.—The following cablegram for Mrs. Frederick A. Cook was received in her home in Brooklyn. "Successful and well. Telegraph advices to Copenhagen. Fred. This dispatch confirms the discovery of the North pole by Dr. Cook. The message was forwarded to Mrs. Cook at South hartswell Island, Casco bay, Maine. Added confirmation was given to the report that Dr. Cook had really discovered the pole in an official message received from the inspector of Greenland COLORADO ITEMS The City Council at Greeley may take up the matter of providing a fire engine Friday night. Twenty-nine carloads of fruit were shipped from Grand Junction on Saturday, according to a statement issued by the Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association. Five families have been quarantined in Louisville owing to an epidemic of smallpox, which has had a pronounced run in the mining town for the last two weeks. The noted 3-R. ranch, embracing 4,965 acres and twenty-six cubic feet of water right, located near Beulah, was sold by R. F. Weitbree to former Senator Hume Lewis for $125,000. The opinion of farmers of Logan county and others fully competent to judge of agricultural conditions, is that that section of the state will yield the greatest crops ever known. Thirty thousand acres of land were disposed of at public auction in Denver, by the State Land oBard, for $400,000. This is the largest sale ever held by the board, but another to be held next month will equal it. Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fighting fireman who is to meet Bill Pettus at Pueblo on September 22nd in a ten-round bout for the benefit of the Pueblo baseball club, has arrived from California and will open up training quarters soon. Pettus is expected to arrive soon and start training. An exhibit of pottery, drawings and other art objects made by students of the State Normal School is being shown at the teachers' institute at Cheyenne. The work of both the training school and mature students is included. Prof. Richard Ernestt, head of the art department, is giving a course of lectures. There is $50,000 worth of buildings being erected in Eaton at the present time, including a $30,000 high school building, a new building for the Eaton National Bank, the Sandberg & Pierson implement house and a new laundry which is being put up by J. A. Warren. Six miles of sidewalk have been laid. Joe Shea, 17 years old, the son of W. H. Shea, clerk of the District Court, while working on the reservoir of the Denver Union Water Company, near Morrison, fell twelve feet onto the concrete cement pavement, lighting on his head. It is believed that the young man sustained a concussion of the brain. His condition is critical. At the new town of Gill the construction gang of the Union Pacific arrived and broke ground for the new station of the road at that point in conjunction with a gang of working men which began installing the big scales for a commission house. The switch tracks of the branch line have been completed and work on the depot will be rushed. Henry Horst of Loveland, in company with a Weld county officer, has been scouring the country between Loveland and Grover in an effort to catch the man who is alleged to have stolen a horse from Horst's pasture last Thursday. A party of Loveland people stated that they met the man and horse, which they recognized, near Grover. Ed Hillan, notorious horsethief and ex-convict, who escaped from the Delta jail July 28th, has been recaptured in Monticello, Utah. When he escaped Hillan had a hand-to-hand encounter with Sheriff Williams, whom he nearly murdered. Extraordinary efforts were made by officers in all of this inter-mountain country to find the man. Hillan was recognized by a former pal, who gave the officers a hint of his whereabouts, his rearrest resulting. Sheriff Williams will leave tonight to bring him back. The Santa Fe railroad will have to pay its annual license to the state of Colorado or quit running its trains across the state line. This, in effect, was the decision of Federal Judge Lewis in Denver, when he sustained the demurrier filed by the attorneys for Timothy O'Connor, former Secretary of State, holding that the tax of $2 for every $1,000 of capitalization of corporations doing business in Colorado was a valid one and that the plea of the railroad that the imposition of the tax was an interference with interstate commerce was not based on legal grounds. Leandro Martinez, charged with being the leader of the gang which attempted to steal the payroll of the Victor American Fuel Company, August 14, was held to the next term of the District Court at Trinidad under five separate charges. Two of the charges are for the larceny of live stock, one growing out of the fact that he took the horse of Senator Casamira Barela on the day of the hold-up, and another that he took the horse of Leo Lente, a herd boy, who was at work not far from the scene of the attempted robbery. A third charge is that of conspiracy to rob and the fourth of assault to kill Deputy Raphael Martinez, who was shot from his horse by the bandits. A considerable number of the members of the Twenty-first regular infantry, which left Fort Logan to go to the Philippines have no desire for service in the islands. According to a non-commissioned officer there were twenty desertions from the regiment at the fort. The Rev. Father Peter Curran, former chaplain of St. Francis' hospital and also of the Canon City hospital died at Glockner sanitarium, Colorado Springs. Funeral arrangements will await the arrival of a brother from Canada. He was a balmy-headed Johnny, with little cash. She was both pretty and pert. He said: "Do you know, Dolly, I am something of a mimic? I can take almost anybody off" She said: "Then take yourself off, old boy. I'm expecting some one to take me to supper." HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA Face and Neck Were Raw—Terrible Itching, Inflammation and Soreness—All Treatments Failed. Cuticura Proved a Great Success. "Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so inflamed and sore that I had to put a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth a sort of yellow. The eczemached so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearsonals, Northfield, Vt., Dec. 19, 1907." All in Fight Against Tuberculosis. Prevention of tuberculosis versus dividends is the proposition which some of our largest insurance companies are now trying to establish. The Metropolitan Life recently applied for permission to erect a sanatorium for its policy holders and employees afflicted with tuberculosis, but the application was refused on grounds of illegality by New York State Superintendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The company is, however, conducting an active educational campaign by distributing 3,500,000 pamphlets among its policy holders. The Provident Savings Life Assurance society has also established a health bureau, where its policy holders may receive free medical advice. Several fraternal orders, notably the Modern Woodmen, Knights of Pythias, Royal League, Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Circle, have already established or are contemplating the erection of sanatoria for their tuberculosis members. A Candid Judge. A Dover lawyer tells a story in which figures Hon. H. L. Dawes, who it seems, in his younger days was an indifferent speaker. Shortly after his admission to the bar he had a case which was tried before a North Adams justice of the peace, and Dawes was opposed by a lawyer whose eloquence attracted a large crowd. The justice was perspiring in the crowded room and evidently fast losing his temper. Finally he drew off his coat and, in the midst of the eloquent address, burst out: "Mr. Attorney, supposing that you take a seat and let Mr. Dawes speak. I want to thin out this crowd."—Lippincott's.

IT WORKS The Laborer Eats Food That Would Wreck an Office Man. Men who are actively engaged at hard work can sometimes eat food that would wreck a man who is more closely confined. This is illustrated in the following story: "I was for 12 years clerk in a store working actively and drank coffee all the time without much trouble until after I entered the telegraph service. "There I got very little exercise and drinking strong coffee, my nerves were unsteady and my stomach got weak and I was soon a very sick man. I quit meat and tobacco and in fact I stopped eating everything which I thought might affect me except coffee, but still my condition grew worse, and I was all but a wreck. "I finally quit coffee and commenced to use Postum a few years ago, and I am speaking the truth when I say, my condition commenced to improve immediately and today I am well and can eat anything I want without any bad effects, all due to shifting from coffee to Postum. "I told my wife today I believed I could digest a brick if I had a cup of postum to go with it. "We make it according to directions boiling it full 20 minutes and use good rich cream and it is certainly delicious." Look in pkgs. for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

NEWS FROM The CAPITAL Washington Women Are Auction Mad National Capital Is a Clean City Craze For Presidential "Relics" A boy is pushing an old man on a desk. WASHINGTON.—Being much larger than the senate, with many more members to look out for and more ground to cover, the house is allowed 44 page boys, and in age they are the seniors of the senate pages, while their pay is just the same. House pages must be between the ages of fourteen and 18 years. They go on duty at nine o'clock each day and stay until the house adjourns. They place the copies of the Record on the desks of members, keep the desks in order and are at the beck and call of members whenever wanted. They are under the immediate supervision of a chief page on each side of the house. Some of them are assigned to duty as telegraph pages and others as telephone pages, but most of them are on duty on the floor. The house pages are appointed on the recommendation of members by the head doorkeeper, who has general supervision of the boys. Generally, the member who has secured the boy's appointment will look after his physical and moral welfare while he is here, and it has happened that a ACTION TO DA THE loyal legion of congress women, who hung on in Washington during the dog days, encouraging their husbands, found surcause for sultry solitude in auctions. The Washington female is auction mad. There's a greater glamour here over the sale of other people's old rubbish than anywhere else in the country. Power is always changing hands. Nobody stays put in his high estate, and when the dignitaries get their walking papers they sell out all their household goods, as a rule. Hence the avid feminine scramble for foreign and historic relics. The smartest society is always to be found in the fashionable auction rooms in Washington. "The retiring foreign minister" dodge is worked to a fine financial finish by foxy auctioneers. There are usually more auctions to celebrate HIGH tribute to the cleanliness of the streets of the national capital was paid recently by Joseph A. Gleason, general superintendent of the department of public works of New Orleans. He called at the district building to find out how it was done, and chatted with Commissioner West and Superintendent James M. Wood of the street-cleaning department. "Washington is the cleanest and the best city I have been in," he told Commissioner West, after relating experiences in visiting many of the leading cities of the eastern and central states. "I want to find out how you do it." During his conference with Superintendent Wood of the street- THE presidential people never cease to be objects of the most poignant interest. They never pall on the public curiosity, even here in Washington, where presidents are human nature's daily food. Shortly before Mrs. Taft's departure for her summering she attended a concert at a fashionable theater. Her discarded program dropped to the floor as she got up to leave. Instantly those near by who were watching every motion of the notable lady made a stampede for the worthless piece of paper, each anxious to secure it as a relic. On one of her latest shopping expeditions, Mrs. Taft, being a careful member has sent home a boy who fell into bad ways and could not be brought under discipline. There is not such a large proportion of the district boys in the house as in the senate. They come from many states, but some of the more distant states are not represented. It is doubtless a fact that the boys in both houses of congress are under closer supervision than was the case at one time. A few examples opened the eyes of the authorities to what dangers might confront boys far from home without the refining influences that are inseparable from a mother's love and care. While the restraint is not irksome, it is designed to be at least wholesome and for the entire good of the youths who may very likely grow up to be themselves makers of laws and rulers of the land. Without doubt it has been a great trial to most of the youngsters to be deprived of their vacations for such a long time. The call of the woods and fields is strangely insistent to youth. Every normal, healthy, manly boy yearns to get out in the open—to swim, ride, shoot, sail or disport himself in the water. To be confined within even marble walls cannot compensate for the freedom of the fields, and so the page boys are happy at last in the prospect of unlimited enjoyment for a time and a rest from the cares which sit but ill at best on young shoulders. their retiring than there are ministers to retire. But who's going to keep tab? Diplomatic debris is always at a premium. Discards from legations whether genuine or apocryphal, are gobbled gluttonously. Most congressional wives go back home laden with sacred relics from auction houses, more or less authenticated. One of these ardent ladies picked up recently, at a rare bargain, in prime condition apparently, an oriental rug, warranted to have been highly prized by a prominent diplomat, who parted with it reluctantly upon his recall to his own country. The rug, which had never known a foreign footfall, wore beautifully for a month or two, then fell all to pieces at one fell swoop, like the "wonderful one-horse shay." The fabric, which was literally worn in holes, had been strengthened and renewed by a preparation of glue on the back, the threadbare spots filled up to a firm consistency by the use of red egg dye paint. The disenchanted lady had only a shoddy rug to show for her $75 expenditure. Still the thrall of the auction room never diminishes. cleaning department, it was discovered that there is about ten times as much street area in the district to be cared for as in New Orleans; but the visiting official told the local heads that the streets of Washington are cleaner than those in New Orleans. The New Orleans official went carefully into all the details of the system of street cleaning in the national capital, and declared that he found many new ideas which could be used in the southern city. One of the advanced steps taken in New Orleans looking to cleanliness, Superintendent Gleason explained, was along the line of making the street railway companies sprinkle their tracks. While the old lines of the city cannot be made to carry out that course, the new lines are given charters containing a compulsory clause. The results are excellent, it was reported, and the system is to be extended in the future. Nothing like this has been tried in the district. and economical buyer, deliberated for a considerable while over the choice of a piece of lace at the lace counter. After she had finally made her selection and departed, a fellow-customer of the shop, much more showily and handsomely dressed than the president's wife, who, from a little distance had been watching the proceedings like a hawk, pounced down upon the saleswoman that Mrs. Taft had just released, who was busy folding up her stock. "Which piece did Mrs. Taft buy?" asked the eager onlooker with avidity. She was shown. "I'll take all the rest of that piece of lace," the woman feverishly declared. The Taftian touch and the Taftian taste had given the airy fabris a fictitious value in the purchaser's eyes, truly ludicrous. A local paper recently remarked in all seriousness that Mrs. Taft was seen not long ago walking democratically down F street, "carrying her pocketbook in her hand." An eccentric proceeding not to carry it in her teeth! CHANGE IN FLAVORS HOUSEWIFE WHO MAKES MANY KINDS OF SHORTCAKE. Points Out One of the Best Ways to Use the Summer Fruits and Berries—Canned Preparations in Winter. One of the best ways to use the summer fruits and berries is in short-cakes. We use all kinds of fruits. We make individual shortcakes by the following rule: Sift one pint of flour with one-half teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Into this rub with the hands a piece of butter the size of an egg and a piece of lard the same size. Stir in milk enough to mix into a batter to roll out. Knead as little as possible on the board and roll out with as little handling as possible. Cut in rounds about four inches in diameter. We use the cover of a pound coffee tin as a cutter. Bake 20 minutes in a quick oven. This recipe makes five short-cakes. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, peathes, pineapples and bananas all make delicious shortcakes. We like blueberry shortcake almost better than blueberry pie. The blueberries should be stewed a little. The pineapples should be cut up some time before using, sprinkled well with sugar and allowed to stand so that the juice will come out well. For the banana shortcake the bananas must be thoroughly mashed and well sweetened, but they should not be allowed to stand. Cream may be added to the banana shortcake, if you like it. In serving, have the shortcakes hot. Split them, butter well, put two large spoonfuls of the mashed and sweetened fruit inside and one on top. In winter we have apple and orange shortcakes. We also use canned fruit. We find this a very economical way of using fruit, one box of berries or one pineapple being enough for four shortcakes. Frenched Chicken Dress a chicken which is too large for frying, or almost grown. Disjoint all parts, cut the breast in two, then salt and pepper and roll well in flour. Fry in hot lard (part butter is good), but add butter after chicken has begun to fry well. Cook in this way until a golden brown. The chicken will not be tender nor nearly done, but have ready a steam cooker, or old fashioned steamer, with a pan in it to hold the juice from the chicken. Then put in the chicken and cook one hour, or until tender. The grease in which the chicken was fried must be heated again, as it must be placed on the back of the stove to be ready for gravy. One large tablespoonful of flour, brown as you wish, and a bowl of sweet milk and water makes a delicious gravy. Also add the juice from the steamed chicken to the gravy while cooking. You will find this the most satisfactory way of cooking a large chicken—not an old one by any means; be certain it is young. Recipe for Waffles. Take $1 \frac{1}{4}$ cups of flour, three teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt, one tablespoon of melted butter, one cup of milk, two eggs. Mix and sift all ingredients, add the milk and yolks of eggs which have been well beaten, then the whites of the eggs, which have been beaten stiff. The waffle iron, which should fit the range, should be well heated on both sides and thoroughly greased before iron is filled. In filling put tablespoonful of mixture near the center of the iron. Hard Times Steak Round steak, two inches thick, scant cup of flour pounded into steak on both sides. I use a porcelain plate to pound with. It takes about half an hour to pound in all the flour. Have frying pan very hot, with butter or suet, and fry steak on both sides a nice brown. Pour over steak a pint of water, cover and cook an hour. If water cocks out add more. When done it will be very tender and the gravity nicely thickened. Veal cooked in the same way is very nice. Potato Pie. One cup butter creamed with two cups of sugar, four eggs, well beaten. one cup of milk, one cup of cold mashed potatoes, one cup chopped walnuts, three tablespoons each of different spices, half cup raisins, half cup currants, a little citron, two and a half coffee cups of flour, well mixed with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Cover with boiled frosting. Tomato Barebit. Fry about two tablespoonfuls of onion in butter size of an egg, add one quart of tomato juice. When boiling, stir in one-half pound of finely sliced cheese. When this is well mixed, add two broken eggs, salt and pepper. Let this cook until all ingredients are well mixed and the mass thickens. Serve hot on crackers or toast. This is delicious. Currant Water. To two cupfuls of currants and one cupful red raspberries mashed add a cupful of cold water and bring to a simmer over the fire. Then strain, mix with a cupful of sirup made from sugar and water, boiled to the thread stage. Pour in three pints water and stand on the ice until cold. To Prevent Irons from Sticking.

A SECRET SERVICE JOB PERIODICAL exposures of peonage, in one form or another, existing in various of the Southern states, whereby Negroes are held in practical slavery for years, and perhaps for life, suggest that the Federal government ought to do a little more than it does to eradicate this shameful evil. If the President can use the secret service to discover facts to be used against other supposed violators of the federal statutes, he should find no difficulty or embarrassment in employing it in sections where this mean and inhuman abuse of helpless creatures can be easily traced. An occasional excursion of a reliable secret service agent through the remoter sections of certain states, though fraught with some danger perhaps, would soon cut this gvil out of American life. I. B. P. O. E. TROUBLES The Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World is having a hard time of it in its upper and ruling branches. It has had a double head for several years, in spite of all efforts to amputate one of them, and its national convention, just concluded at Detroit, though striving strenuously to reunite the factions, both of which were in session in the same building, has resulted in a greater split than that which existed before they met, and a new body called Meneliks is now trying to replace the old one. Political wrangling growing out of the Negro's love for any kind of office, with its paltry honors, seems to be at the bottom of the disruption, but an apparently honest effort to change the name of the order so as to remove all cause for the long-continued and disastrous conflict with the white men's order of the same or similar name, entered largely into the controversy. The founder of the colored order, Dr. B. F. Howard, at the head of the regulars, standing out for a certain monetary compensation for his plans and services, had the solid opposition of the insurgent body, under Dr. Wm. E. Atkins, while the independents, in little sympathy with either grand body, but desiring the change of name, followed Attorney James Ross of Buffalo, and Dr. J. W. Ames of Detroit. There are now three grand lodges appealing to the local membership of this popular but much troubled order. The founder of an order is entitled to all reasonable consideration for his plans and services, and in this case compliance with the founder's demands, which were not unreasonable, would have prepared the way for the removal of all other difficulties and given the order a solid membership with all that greater influence for improvement and mutual good which harmony insures. White men would have discouraged and conquered all opposition to conditions which promised so much in the end. The desire to change the name of the Elks is based on good grounds, but unity was the first and most important step toward its realization. The disposition to adopt clandestinely the names, plans and working methods of white men's secret organizations, entirely against their wishes, is a disposition which Negroes ought to abolish. The ultimate effect is hurtful to the race in its larger relations. Our conditions provide an ample field for distrust and appropriate organizations of our own, but if plans and methods of white organizations need to be followed at all, discretion and pride dictate that they should be adopted under entirely new and distinct names. The older secret orders among Negroes have had legitimate beginning which cannot be rescinded, but the new ones would find a greater strength in originality. THE SOUTHERN DOMESTIC ONE of the papers read before the National Negro Business Men's League in its recent annual session at Louisville dealt in a complimentary way with the Negro mammy, and incidentally discussed the difficulties which beset this loyal but provincial old character whenever the attempt has been made to adopt her into the domestic life of the North. Although it has been utterly impossible to replace her in the South, where she is understood and trusted and loved, she has met with friction and rejection in the North where ideas of the conduct of domesties are more rigid and less considerate of racial traits. "In the South," the speaker said, "the mistress knew that when mammy went singing, about her duties, she was giving them her best labor, but in the North the housewife thought that she was thinking more of her hymns and her church than of her work. This difference of opinion or lack of understanding has made against the success of the Negro domestic in the North, for the traits of the old mammies are quite permanently fixed in their children, and it is a very ordinary thing to find Northern mistresses who express a decided preference for Irish, Swede or German girls or other white help in the discharge of their domestic duties. A general comparison of the actual capabilities of domesties, however, does not justify the prejudice which exists among some employers against the colored girl. Whether it is domestic training or natural tact inherited from parents who were drilled all their lives in domestic service of some character, it is a fact that the average colored working girl possesses a degree of proficiency in the fundamental knowledge of domestic duties which her white sisters are largely devoid of. Colored girls who have never looked between the covers of a cook book or received a word of scientific instruction in the culinary art, by some natural method develop into exceptionally fine cooks, while not a few rise to the ranks of caterers. Without knowing just where they got their recipes, the most of them produce dishes which would tempt the palates of kings, while their ordinary preparation of meats and vegetables in their varied table forms are almost faultless. In their laundry and chamber work they are scarcely less proficient, and while some of them may sing hymns and others warble arias while they are at work, the slighting of their work therefor is never in actual evidence. If more of the employers of domestic labor in the North would learn, like those in the South, that racial traits are no hindrance to the competent performance of stated domestic duties, there would be less prejudice against the Negro domestic and less of a domestic problem the country over. International Awakening as to Its Need By PROF. GEORGE A. COE, Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill. DUCATIONAL forces are in the midst of an international moral awakening. What we confront may be either a grave moral depression or a new stage in moral progress; in either case a call has come to reconstruct all education with reference to the moral requirements of human society. The call has been emphasized in this country by the National Educational association and the Religious Educational association. E There is an almost world-wide move toward leaving specific religious training in the hands of the family and of voluntary religious organizations, but at the same time to improve moral training in the state schools. In the United States the churches are endeavoring to meet the need chiefly by reform in the Sunday schools. Many steps have been taken toward the introduction of sound methods and of graded lessons. A multitude of organizations that aim at one or another social good are contributing to the formation of a trained school conscience. In the public schools there is much agitation but little crystallization of sentiment into method. The movement for industrial education presents a new problem and a new opportunity. The motives for such education are twofold; commercial and humanitarian. Both are valid, but the moral effect will depend upon which has the primacy in actual administration. If industrial and commercial training be used chiefly to extend and perfect the mechanism of factory and counting house; if the production of mere things be its dominating motive, it will only increase the present depression of human life by our economic organization. But if this new training be so conducted as to humanize industrial relations and moralize commercial standards; if it shall help the young to discover that an occupation is a moral vocation; if it shall increase the free manhood of the producer while it increases output, then it will mark our greatest single advance in moral education. Vapor Lamps the Coming Light By PETER COOPER HEWITT, Inventor. What the world is waiting for in the way of light is simply a cheaper light. Up to the present time light has been chiefly generated by means of the arc and incandescent materials, such as the Edison lamp, the Nernst lamp, etc.; but these have very nearly reached their highest point of efficiency. The latest development is the Tungsten lamp, and the greatest efficiency which can be hoped for from it is one watt per candle. The old lights have all been generated by heating solids, but there is now a new light which is obtained by electric currents passing through vapors or gases of small density. These are called vacuum tubes, and it is to them that we must look for the cheaper—and for most purposes better—lights of the future. Probably the best known example of this class is the Geister tube, which in the early stages of its development gave forth but little light. Recently, however, this has been worked over and experimented upon with the result that a light has been produced by means of mercury vapor that has an efficiency of one-third of a watt per candle. When it is remembered that the Edison light costs over three watts per candle, it will be readily seen that already great strides have been made toward reaching the cheap light which the world is awaiting. Of course, like all other things, the electric light generated by a vapor has its disadvantages for the present. For instance, it does not give off all the wave lengths seen in the daylight; each vapor used gives off wave lengths peculiar to itself, so that such light gives to many objects a peculiar appearance. Under it colors vary and lose their individuality, and at no time can all colors appear as they really are; but by the use of different colored reflectors and the combinations of different lamps almost any single result desired may be obtained. The future should, however, produce a more perfect light. [Illustration of a man in a suit and tie, facing left.] Decidedly the light of the future is the one generated by vapors. The constant work which is being done upon it is bound to bring it very near perfection, and, coupled with all its advantages, the fact that it can produce light commercially at one-half the smallest cost that the present lights can hope to attain makes its future success assured. Sugar- Coated Im- morality By REV. FATHER DUCEY. Books of fiction which are suggestive of acts that are in violation of God's morality are certainly very harmful and very injurious not only to youth—though perhaps they affect them most—but also to men and women. What I am pleased to call sugar-coated immorality is always more insidious than pronounced and unveneered grossness. The latter by its very nature is apt to show forth in its true light the unwholesomeness of what it depicts, but the former by its enticing method which says really nothing while it suggests everything, is cause for more harm than its authors would very likely wish to be held accountable for. You ask me if I think we are in any way approaching such a set of conditions as prevailed before the downfall of Rome and Babylon and were responsible for those downfalls. That is, of course, a very hard proposition to go into, as well as a very dangerous one. However, one thing seems to be certain—the moral aspect of this country is not a thing for us to be proud of—it is not at all a thing for delight. If we look at the disruption of family ties throughout the length and breadth of the land and then study the government reports printed lately we shall begin to realize just how far we have already gone on that road. Statistics tell us that during the last 20 or 25 years in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 divorces have been granted in this country, and that in this respect—according to the population of the country—it is said that we far surpass all other nations. When the sanctity of married life is treated on all hands with such concept it seems to me that we are scarcely one degree removed from love.

C. O. West, Secretary and Manager, : SNAP JUDGMENT SET ASIDE. That it behooves one who has any of this world’s goods to be constantly on the lookout to prevent its slipping away was singularly illustrated by the experience of Officer Gilmore during the past few weeks. A few months ago an action was brought in the County Court by the Frerker Livery Co. against nim and his nephew, Quinn J. Gilmore, as partners in the undertaking business. The officer was never served with the papers and remained in blissful ignorance of the suit, The nephew received the pro- per notice but paid no attention what- ever to the case. Neither of the de- fendants having answered or ap- peared within the required time, de- fault was entered and judgment taken by F. D. Taggart, the plaintiff's at- torney, who was also the only witness. Execution was issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff. Quinn J. delivered all the furniture and other ‘effects of the business in part pay- ment of the judgment, leaving a bal- ance unsettled of $1,200.00. Thereupon 'F. D. Taggart issued execution against Officer Gilmore's real estate, and had it advertised to be sold by the sheriff August 16th at public auction. Then for the first time the owner receivea notice of the suit and judgment against him. He at once got busy and put the case in the hands of Attorney J. H. Stuart, who filed a motion to sot aside the judgment as to the of. ficer; supported by affidavits showing first, that Officer Gilmore was never served with notice; and sec: ond, that he was never a partner of his nephew in the undertaking busi- ness, as alleged in the complaint. The plaintiff's attorney made a desperate effort to prove service, but the court after hearing the evidence, without ar- gument, promptly set aside the judg. ment, thus nullifying the order ot sale.

ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS CUITS TAULKS DENVER, COLO MUSINGS OF CANNON "UNCLE JOE" LONGS FOR BARN- YARD CONCERTS. Speaker Plays Poker for Million Dollars a Chip in Summer—Explains Wild Gambling Is All "Mind Bets" for Fun. Washington.—The summer meditations of Uncle Joe Cannon are peaceful and refreshingly cool. "This is a good place to be," said the speaker the other day, as he sniffed at the slashing breeze which was whipping through the wide windows of his big room off the east terrace. "It is cool today. It may be "This is a good place to be," said the speaker the other day, as he sniffed at the shashing breeze which was whipping through the wide windows of his big room off the east terrace. "It is cool today. It may be hot other days." but it is cool now and we should be content. It is true I would rather be at home. I have a little business to attend to, but that can wait. I would like to hear the crowing chickens in the cool of the early morning. I mean crowing roosters. Hens usually don't crow; they cluck. Also, I would like to hear the squealing and grunting of pigs and the bellowing of bulls, if they only will bellow. I really miss these things, because I am used to them. But it is pleasant here." "Do you play golf, Mr. Speaker?" "No, I don't play golf. I think I regard it as better than no exercise. It is a game for middle aged persons. I am too young to take it up. Perhaps I will some day. I like to read in summer. I like to read good, solid books about the acts of men who have done things. I like Gibbon's 'Rome'. Another book I like is 'Plutarch Lives.' That's a great book. But, after all, the best literature in the least possible space is the bible. I used to read it more than I do now, but I still read it often. One can skip the long names and some of the hard parts, but the grandest parts of the bible one never tires of reading. Some day I will tell you why I am especially fond of Matthew and John. What a great character was Isaiah! "And in summer I like to play poker. Not for money, but to stimulate the imagination. For instance, I like to call blue checks $1,000,000,000 each, reds about half a million, and whites $100,000. Of course there is no such value in the game. It is make believe. "In a good stiff game with good fellows you may win one thousand billion dollars. After you have won that much money, in your mind, is when you want to get the real enjoyment out of the game. You can smoke a cigar just before going to bed and think what you can buy with one thousand billion dollars. That's immense. "You could give every man, woman, and child something. You could buy good things from all the bad people and give them all to the good people. And the more you dream while you are awake of giving away all that money you have won the grander you will feel. "If you are careful you can go to bed without realizing that it isn't true, and in the morning you will be so busy you won't mind. That's what I call good summer recreation." While Uncle Joe was ruminating on the possibilities of thousand billion dollar donations to the worthy, Washington was trying to realize that the veteran statesman pays only 50 cents a suit for his underwear. Representative Thatis W. Sims of Tennessee also pays this price for his underclothing. This important fact was revealed by Mr. Sims during the debate on the urgent deficiency appropriation bill. Mr. Sims is an automobile hater and he was denouncing the senate amendment to the measure which made appropriations providing for two automobiles, one for the vice president and the other for the speaker of the house. Mr. Sims said the speaker was a man of simple tastes and he did not believe Mr. Cannon wanted an automobile provided at the expense of the government. To show how simple he and Mr. Cannon were in their sartorial tastes, Mr. Sims said: "The other day Uncle Joe and I went into a store downtown to buy some underwear. Of course the clerk knew Uncle Joe. He brought out some underwear at $7 a suit and tried to stick it on the speaker. "It's guaranteed," the clerk said. "But Uncle Joe didn't buy it. "Give me some at 50 cents," he said, and that's what he bought. And I took some at the same price." Self-Forgetful. President Taft is fond of children, with whom he is a favorite. A charming story on this head comes from Cincinnati. Once, when a pretty Cincinnati girl was a child of six or seven, Mr. Taft, calling at her house, found nobody home excepting herself. She entertained him a little while, and when he rose to go he stooped down and kissed her. "Here's one," he said, "for the baby. Here is another for little Jim. And here is a third for Billie boy." The little girl, drawing herself up, said haughtily—she had been reading a novel: "Mr. Taft, you forget yourself!" He bent down again. "So I did," he laughed. "Well, here's one for myself!" Story of Senatorial Tilt Between Hoar of Massachusetts and Morgan of Alabama. "FULL as a hive of frozen bees in December," said Senator Alexander S. Clay, of Georgia, last week at the close of a senate session which had developed only routine. "Do you remember?" he said to Senator ULL as a hive of frozen bees in December," said Senator Alexander S. Clay, of Georgia, last week at the close of a senate session which had developed only routine. "Do you remember?" he said to Senator Senator Rayner, of Maryland. "No, of course you don't; you were not here," he added, but in the old days we used to have some snap and go to things in the senate. There was Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts; Senator Morgan and a half dozen others who enlivened debate as is rarely done now." Then, as Senator Root and two or three other new senators joined the group, he told the story. "Senator Hoar was trying to get a bill through which had something to do with codfish. I do not recall just what it was, but it was a genuine Massachusetts codfish bill anyhow. Senator Morgan opposed it and it was voted down. Senator Hoar was testy and showed it. Rising, he addressed the presiding officer and gave expression to the belief that no senator from an inland state, and a southern state, too, had a commission to decry a measure so largely of interest to New England. Well, you know our southern people are not partial to codfish. They seldom see it and few eat it. Senator Morgan rose and turning to Senator Hoar said, in his slow, deliberate way:— "Of course, Mr. President, I reserve the right to take part in any legislation that affects any part of the United States. Perhaps the distinguished senator from Massachusetts does not know it, but down in my country I could disperse a ten acre lot full of Alabamians just by throwing one cofish into their midst." WHEN IS A MAN TWO MEN? Indiana Clerk of Courts Raises Knotty Problem—Washington Authorities Veto Claims. Washington.—"Intolerable," declared the attorney general. "The attorney general is right," ruled the comptroller of the currency. And out in the Hoosier state of Indiana Noble C. Butler, clerk of the United States district court for that state, loses in a claim under which his personal compensation would be greater than the compensation of two persons separately holding the office. "Fees from one court," the comptroller incidentally holds, "cannot be used to defray expenses of another court." The gross fees of the two courts between January 1 and December 1, 1908, aggregated $13,708. Mr. Butler's idea, according to the comprolier, was to consolidate the gross fees of the circuit and the district courts, of each of which he is clerk, to deduct therefrom the total expenses of both offices and from the remainder retain his maximum personal compensation of $3,500 in each of the courts. "When does one clerk become two clerks in fact?" is the question about which the decision revolved. Butler contended that so far as expenses of the two courts were concerned he was holding but one office, that was "his office," and that he had the legal right to deduct the expenses at his pleasure, for his personal gain, from the combined emoluments before figuring his personal pay based on the surplus of the two courts. Prophet in Naming His Boys Ed Ragenhardt of Cape Girardeau, Mo., wishes to be United States marshal at St. Louis and is in a fair way to get the job. He went to Washington recently "on the quiet" to line up the Missouri statesmen, but could not keep his six feet six inches of bones and sinew out of sight. Ragenhardt has shown himself one of the best presidential prophets in Missouri. His oldest boy, William McKinley Ragenhardt, was born two years before McKinley was elected president. His second son, Theodore Roosevelt, was born two years before Theodore Roosevelt was elected vicepresident, and the latest son, William Taft, was bron two years ago. The Missouri man brought in the delegates from the fourteenth district for Taft at a time when something was needed to swing Missouri into line. When he called at the White House recently he forgot his errand and talked with the president for half an hour about the health and general welfare of "William Taft Ragenhardt." Joseph H. Choate at a recent banquet in New York praised Attorney General Wickersham. "When this able man fights," he said, "feathers will fly. But he won't fight until he has a grievance. There will be nothing 'spectacular, nothing burlesque, about his battles." Mr. Choate smiled. "No," he said, "we shall see nothing of Broncho Bill in Attorney General Wickersham. Broncho Bill, you know, had only one eye. "How did you lose that left optic, Bill? a young tenderfoot politely asked him. "Lose it? Bill thundered. 'Did you say 'lose' it? "Why—er—yes.' faltered the tether foot. "Lose it, be hanged,' said Bill, ferociously. 'I cut it out so it's not allus be havin' to shut it in drawin' a bead.'" Why help pay big rent?

When a Greeley man who conducts a fruit stand purchased some tin jewelry for 30 cents about two weeks ago from Charles Williams, a negro from Cheyenne, he did not know he was receiving $190 worth of gold and gems. This morning Lieutenant George Mason of Fort Russell appeared, with Marshal Williams, and laid claim to a diamond ring, a stickpin and some other jewelry. Williams had been arrested in Cheyenne and had confessed to the theft of the valuables. The negro was employed by Lieutenant Mason and departed from Fort Russell about two weeks ago. He came to Greeley and while there sold all of the articles for 30 cents. The ring, valued at $105, was sold for 5 cents. Lieutenant Mason refunded the 30 cents and got back his possessions. William Benton, who is working the Tom Rayburn farm near Greeley, lost half of his field of eleven and one-half acres of oats in shock when a spark from a Union Pacific engine set it on fire. He managed to save half his crop by the hardest kind of work. This means a loss of $300. Mrs. Capitola Adams, married, divorced, and remarried, though only twenty-two years old, drank carbolic acid at her summer home at Columbine Lake, a mile and a half west of Grand Lake. She died without explaining the reason for her act. Her husband, Roy Adams, a salesman and former stamp clerk in the Denver postoffice, is said to have nearly lost his mind, and attempted to take his own life, when he saw his young wife of six months die in agony. Mrs. Adams is said to have been in poor health and to have brooded over the death of a relative in Chicago. But this is not supposed to have been the only cause. DENVER DIRECTORY $22 C. O. D.

DOUBLED IN TEN YEARS FORWARD MOTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST IS A REVELATION. Denver.—Exclusive of Hinsdale county, from which returns have not been received by the State Board of equalization, the total assessed valuation of lands and property in Colorado is $400,079,171.78. Hinsdale county last year reported $624,541, and if a similar assessment is returned this year the total valuation of the state will be approximately $400,763,712.88. This is the first time in the history of the state that the assessment has exceeded $400,000,000. In 1899 the total assessment of the state was $203,486,692, which shows that the valuation of lands and improvements in Colorado have doubled in ten years. The assessment is an increase of twenty-five per cent, over the amount estimated last year. The greatest increases by counties are shown in Denevr, which added more than $10,000,000; Conejos, which added $64,000; Costilla, $485,000; Garfield, $457,000, and Gunnison, $801,000. The assessment as a whole shows Colorado to be in the forward motion toward development and wealth. These assessments are subject to the revision of the State Board of equalization and the commissioners of each county, but the figures given are in comparison with those of last year. The following are the abstracts of assessment for 1909 and assessment roll sworn to: At a meeting called at the Commercial Club rooms at Lamar, a good roads association was formed, with the prime object of obtaining at least one good road entirely through the country and to generally improve the roads throughout this end of the state. Absolutely destitute, ragged and hungry, Mrs. A. F. Bruce and five children, giving Lander, Wyo., as their home, were put off the southbound train at Greeley, because they had no money to pay for their transportation to Canton, Kan., where they were trying to reach relatives. C. W. Beer saw the little party at the station and learning of their hard plight secured food and room for the night and Sunday morning the county commissioners purchased tickets for them to Kansas. Charles W. Selter, a miner living at 112 North Spruce street, Colorado Springs, has invented a beet cultivator and will soon begin manufacturing the device. The machine has three rolls to which are attached teeth and its use greatly lessens the labor of raising beets. Charles Clark, who is alleged to have attempted to rob the safe at the Cliff house in Manitou ten days ago, was removed from St. Francis' hospital to the county jail. An X-ray examination was made to locate the two builts supposed to be in his head. DRAINS AND CARRIES DISHES Invention of California Man Useful for Homes, Hotels and Restaurants. An article of twofold use in homes, hotels and restaurants is the dish carrier designed by a Californian. In addition to being a carrier device, this also makes a good draining rack. The device consists of a frame with rows of inclined slots, somewhat resembling a window blind, and resting at an angle upon supports. It is set on a table near where the dishes are washed, and as they are dried the plates and saucers are placed in the Also Useful as a Drain. openings. Or they can be placed there to drain before they are dried. When the rack is full scores of dishes can be carried with ease and safety to the cupboard at one trip, where otherwise a dozen journeys would be necessary. The effect of a stumble with this "lazy man's load" of china is horrible to contemplate, but the inventor is not expected to take clumsiness into consideration. Ordinarily careful people will find the device a time-saver. TO SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN Little Things That Will Lighten Work During the Hot Days of Jelly Now that the jelly making season is at hand a few hints that will make less work for the housekeeper will not be amiss. Your jelly bag, of course, is perfectly clean to start with. After picking over and washing the fruit put it right into the bag, put the bag into a large kettle and add whatever amount of water you desire. Boil it this way a little longer than you without the bag. This way of doing saves one the awkward task of dipping up the hot fruit into the bag and often scalding one's self in so doing. When boiled sufficiently the bag can be lifted out and set in a porcelain collender on top of the kettle to drain and left there till the next day, if necessary. This is all quickly done and one is saved the trouble of hanging the bag up to drain, for there never seems to be any place to hang it out of the way. Before this plan suggested itself to me jelly making was a much harder task, while now I do not dread it all. I would say, however, that I have not tried it for currants or berries, because those fruits do not need much water or boiling, but for green gooseberries, grapes, rhubarb, or any of the larger fruits it is an excellent plan. Chocolate Ice Cream. Serving chocolate cream with whipped cream is especially desirable for summer, as the whipped cream lightens the chocolate flavor. Melt an ounce in a quarter of a cup of hot water in which the same amount of sugar has been dissolved. Stir this over the fire until it is smooth, and add it, with a cupful of sugar and a good pinch of salt, to a quart of thin cream which has been scalded with a two-inch piece of cinnamon bark. Strain this mixture, let it cool, add a tablespoonful of vanilla extract and freeze. Pack the cream in a lemon mold and let it stand for several hours. Turn it on a large plate and surround it with fluffy whipped cream, decorated with thin slices of candied fruit. Tomatoes Stuffed with Sardines. Select large, ripe tomatoes of uniform size and pare them carefully with a sharp knife. Set on the ice to harden and cut out the hearts neatly, leaving the walls whole. Prepare the filling by skinning boneless sardines and laying them upon tissue paper to absorb the oil. Then scrape as you would pick codfish for "balls" and work in a little lemon juice and a dash of white pepper. Toss and work with a silver fork until smooth and fill the cavities left in the tomatoes with the mixture. The combination of flavors is very pleasant. Canning Corn. Get good corn, not too ripe, cut it from the cob and scrape out the milk. Fill the jars with corn and fasten the lids on lightly. Place a wooden rack or straw in the bottom of the wash boiler to almost the tops of the jars and boil for two hours. Remove the lids and quickly fasten them again, then boil two hours more. If tin cans are used the lids must be punctured. The boiler must be well covered while the corn boils, for steam cooks more quickly than hot water. It is advisable to can a little at a time. To Make Skirt Hang Evenly. An accurate and easy way to even off a skirt which is to be hemmed instead of faced. Before putting on the belt lay the skirt on the floor doubled at the front fold and measure the required length from waist down all around and pin together every little ways, then turn back the extra length to the pins and bastе.

An Atchison Young Thing had a head that ached, her honey boy having taken his affections elsewhere, and her father recently shut himself up with her to reason with her. "That Honey Boy averaged spending 50 cents a week on you," he said. "Here's a dollar a week to take its place. Every time he called he cleaned out the refrigerator, your mother will see to it that your brothers do this in future. He kept you up late nights. Your baby sister is cross, and hereafter you will let the baby do this for you. He took possession of the most comfortable rocker on the porch; when you look at that rocker in future it will not be empty, bringing the pang to your heart that your silly novels tell about; it will be occupied by the man who paid for it, and that's me. Your mother and I stayed by you through colic and teething, and we are going to get you through this if we have to take turns spanking you. Now, take your eyes off the moon and look at the dust around you."—Atchison Globe. BED-BOUND FOR MONTHS. Hope Abandoned After Physicians' Consultation. Mrs. Enos Shearer, Yew and Washington Sts., Centralia, Wash., says: "For years I was weak and run down, could not sleep, my limbs swelled and the secretions were troublesome; pains were intense. I was fast in bed for four months. Three doctors said there was "For years I was weak and run down, could not sleep, my limbs swelled and the secretions were troublesome; pains were intense. I was fast in bed for four months. Three doctors said there was no cure for me, and I was given up to die. Being urged, I used Donan's Kidney Pills. Soon I was better and in a few weeks was about the house, well and strong again." Sold by all dealers, 50 cents a box, Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. AT THE MOMENT.

Some years ago there lived in Atchison a young woman noted for her good works and gentleness. She was always helping the poor and was patient and kind and universally admired. She married a fairly good man and abused him within three months. She had been good and patient for years, but a husband was too much for her; she had never been cross to any one until she was cross to her husband. There is something about marriage that stirs up hidden depths of meanness on both sides.—Atchison (Kan.) Globe.

The first thought in painting should, of course, be durability—and durability means simply pure paint properly applied. Pure paint is pure white lead and linseed oil (with or without tinting material). Some years ago the paint-buyer was likely to get adulterated or counterfeit white lead if he was not familiar with brands. To-day ne may buy with perfect safety if he only makes sure that the Dutch Boy Painter trademark is on the packages of white lead that he buys. This trademark was adopted by National Lead Company to distinguish the pure white lead made by them from the worthless adulterated and fake goods. It is a guarantee as valuable to the house-owner as the education of a paint expert could be. WHAT SHE ESCAPED. Jack—There goes young Softy.

"Is the contract of dower properly drawn up, signed and witnessed?" asked the count of Castle-on-the-Bum. "Yes," sighed Gladys Golden. "There are no loopholes through which your wise lawyers of Philadelphia might creep?" "Not a loophole," said the fair Gladys. "And your father's holdings in Amalgamated Whalebone, American Cheese and Macaroni and Tin Soup-Plate 6s have not been affected by the recent depression?" "No, dearest," answered Miss Golden, firmly. "Then I love you," said the noble count; and two fond hearts beat as one.—Puck.

Sewing Basket Pattern for Japanese Matting Sewing Basket. Also Detail of Sketch Used, Diagram of Bottom, and Thumb Sketch of the Completed Article. Pattern for Japanese Matting Sewing Basket. Also Detail of Sketch Used, Diagram of Bottom, and Thumb Sketch of the Completed Article. One must have an attractive basket in which to carry the mending and the sewing outfit, not a mere trifle of lacey straw and pink ribbon bows designed to hold a wisp of embroidery and a scrap of silk, but a good, generous, well-fitted sewing basket, large and strong enough to hold pieces of mending, though at the same time dainty cool-looking and light to carry. be a perfect hexagon, which may be drawn out on the pasteboard by working a circle 12 inches in diameter with a six-inch radius. Then it is a simple matter to mark off the sides, each six inches, as shown in the diagram at the left of the basket. These two hexagons are made, with their pasteboard frame, exactly as the sides were made. Next trace on the design which is A tilo matting basket fills these requirements to the letter. Tilo matting is a Japanese material made from shavings of the fir tree. It is extremely light weight, though strong, and the texture is most artistic. The weave is very attractive, and well suited to basketry. It is 30 inches wide and is sold at 60 cents a yard. One half yard is required for the basket and cover. The other materials needed are one-quarter pound natural color raffia, at five cents, and one quarter pound each of black, old rose and green raffia, at 45 cents. The dyed raffia is 60 cents a pound. A square of medium heavy pasteboard may be purchased for five cents, and a package of raffia needles for ten cents. The pattern of one side of the hexagonal basket is given—6x5 inches. When the six sides are cut out of the matting stitch the edge all around on the sewing machine or with a close back stitch to keep the edge firm. Six more sides are to be cut from the pasteboard, then marked off according to the inside line on the pattern. The center of the pasteboard squares are cut out, leaving a frame for the edge of the matting. This frame is placed around the edge of the matting, basted on, and then overstitched with the natural color raffia. The sketch at the right of the basket shows the process clearly. The next step is to make the bottom and cover of the basket, each to DAINTIEST OF DAINTY ODORS Lavish Use of Violet Recommended by One Girl Who Is Satisfied with the Result. So many girls ask what is that indescribably dainty odor which others of their sex shed around them nowadays. It's not a positive perfume, only just the most refining sweetness imaginable. It is violet, simple violet, but violet in everything, perfume, satchets, perfumed flannels for tacking in dress linings, tooth wash, hair tonics, bath tablets, everything. This is the recipe given by a chemist for the woman who would be not only as fair as the rose, but radiate an odor equally sweet. And in spite of the fad for stronger and more powerful perfumes, girls of refinement still use nothing but violet. Perfume of any sort should never be used profusely. There should be just a suspicion of the odor clinging about the garments, and this is only obtained by the use of satchets placed where gowns are hung or places where under-clothes are kept. Many Kinds of Cuffs. The choice of a cuff is as broad as the choice of a collar. The cheaper variety of shirt waists have the straight stiffened cuff, cut like the one on a man's shirt, and held together with link buttons. It is far prettier, however, to avoid this sign of a cheap waist and put on narrow turnover cuffs, or wrinkle the sleeves over the wrist and finish with a tiny edge of lace; then fasten with lace buttons. A New Coiffure. The flat casque coiffure is becoming more general and is very noticeable, for a small, tightly dressed head among so many that are generously aided by extraordinary curls and braids stands out with distinction. be a perfect hexagon, which may be drawn out on the pasteboard by working a circle 12 inches in diameter with a six-inch radius. Then it is a simple matter to mark off the sides, each six inches, as shown in the diagram at the left of the basket. These two hexagons are made, with their pasteboard frame, exactly as the sides were made. Next trace on the design, which is to be embroidered in raffia, in wide strands. The raffia works better if very slightly dampened. The design is on the Indian order, hence the colors found on Indian basketry will be most effective, the points and central figure old rose, the wide bands at either side of the central figure and the groups of graduated single lines green, and the remaining spots black. The embroidery is done in straight-across stitches, making it appear as if woven in. If one prefers, the embroidery may be omitted, leaving just a plain basket with the over-stitching of natural raffia and the pockets inside of gay flowered silk. The embroidery, however, is well worth while, for it adds to the beauty of the basket. The last step in the construction of the basket is to sew the sides together, sew on the bottom and attach the cover, all of which is done with long, strong needlefuls of raffia in neat, small stitches. The fastener is a bit of reed put through the matting and fastened on the back, and the little loop is a bit of narrow reed buttonholed over with a fine strand of raffia and fastened firmly through the edge of the cover. The pockets for spools of thread and silk, darning outfits and glove menders, and the scissors-strap, needlebook, emery and all such accessories are attached to the raffia binding so that no stitches show on the outside of the basket. - An extremely dainty jacket is shown here; it is carried out in white crepe de chine, trimmed with lace insertion, the pattern of which is delicately outlined with gold thread; the fastening is at the left side of front, under the insertion, which forms a loose hanging strap, finished by little gold tasselled ornaments. The sash of ribbon is arranged in a rosette at left side front, from which hang long ends finished by ornaments; the short sleeves are trimmed with insertion and ribbon.
