WASHINGTON. THE INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM. TWO PUBLIC QUESTIONS. STICK TO THE HUSTLER. MONEY NEEDED. VOL. XVI. PUBLIC IMPROV ADVICE OF DR. BOOKER DIVIDUAL PROBLEM. THE STICK TO THE HUSTLE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Recently one of our most distinguished men lectured to the people of Denver. In the course of his stay of two days, he said many good things. He gave much good advice, not alone for our people, but suitable to all classes of citizens. Among the many things said, he emphasized the importance of the individual Negro solving his own problem. This is a most important truth, and its full purport should be understood by all our people. It seems hard and rather difficult for us to realize that each person and family has its own problem. That this race problem is no problem, but a series of problems dealing directly with the individual. Dr. Washington especially urged upon our people the importance of adding something each year to their homes as a permanent improvement, something that will serve to increase the value not only of the property itself, but will add something to the values and beauty of all adjacent holdings. Doing this tends to destroy that phase of public sentiment which classes our people as undesirables. A man with a home, which he regards above a mere place to board, is classed as a good citizen. Such a man has an interest in all public questions affecting his city. Such is the case in Denver at the present time. Public improvements of a stupendous nature are up for the people to vote upon. For years there has been a cry to make this "Denver the Beautiful." How well public spirited citizens have succeeded is to be seen in the numerous beautiful parks, boulevards and the miles of paved and beautifully lighted streets. All over the city magnificent, modern office buildings are being erected, because this is Denver the Beautiful. Are you interested in public improvements? TWO QUESTIONS Two very important questions are soon to come before the people for settlement. We refer to the purchase of the water works and the voting of bonds for a Civic Center. The Colorado Statesman endeavors as far as within its power to avoid the hysterical class. We believe in the truth and then allow the people to make up their minds how they will vote. However, this is an age of reform. When the "Antis" thresh the air and cry "graft." Just how much wheat there may be in all their chaff we will not stop to discuss at this time, our purpose now being only to refer to these questions in a general way, that our people may begin to think about them. We will say this much, that history does not record an instance where reformers and senseless opposers have ever built a city or developed a country. The men who have developed this country have been those who went ahead, regardless of the clamor of a lot of small fry, built towns, exploited the country and profited by the brains and energy put into the business. It is this class of men who create a demand for labor and gather the capital wherewith to pay. We suggest to our people that we form a large percentage of the unskilled laboring class and must have work. The opening of Civic Center will demand the expenditure of several millions of dollars among the laboring elements of Denver. Just maintain the same interest in public improvement that you do in beautifying your homes. APPRAISERS UNFAIR APPRAISERS UNFAIR TO THE DENVER UNION WATER CO. AS COMPARED WITH FIGURES AND FACTS SHOWN BY MR. F. C. FINKLE, ONE OF THE BEST-KNOWN HYDRAULIC ENGINEERS IN THE WEST. Had the board fixed this value upon the rights of Lake Cheesman alone the allowance would not have been excessive, according to the selling price of water in the neighborhood of Denver, and in other sections of Colorado, as shown in our letter of October 22. $1,955,000 for the physical property at Lake Cheesman, and $2,-845,925, the total allowance for the company's water rights separate from the physical property, aggregates $4,800,925. The storage capacity of Lake Cheesman in round numbers is 80,-000 acre feet. The lake has had available this quantity of water or more every year since it was completed. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Tho RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Under the Northern Colorado Irrigation Company's canal, better known as the High Line Ditch, and the Antero and Lost Park Reservoir system, the selling price of water for irrigation purposes to purchasers of land outside the bonded district is $60 per acre-foot. At $60 per acre-foot, the 80,000 acre-feet at Lake Cheesman would be worth $4,800,000, or only $925 less than was allowed by the appraisers for the physical property at the reservoir and all of the company's water rights combined. Under the Castlewood and associated reservoirs, near Denver, the minimum selling price of water is $80 per acre-foot. At $80 per acre-foot, the water rights of Lake Cheesman are worth $6,400,000, or $1,599,075 more than was allowed by the appraisers for the physical property at the reservoir and all of the company's water rights combined. In the Arkansas Valley, it was shown that the water rights sold at the rate of $83.33 per acre-foot. At $83.33 per acre-foot the water rights of Lake Cheesman are worth $6,666,400, or $1,865,475 more than was allowed by the appraisers for the physical property at the reservoir and all of the company's water rights combined. The lowest selling price of water under a large project in the neighborhood of Denver is $50 per acre-foot. This price is obtained by the Standley Lake system, from its agents, who are selling water with land and handling both in large quantities. The agents obtain from the purchasers of the land $70 an acre-foot for the water. At $70 an acre-foot, the price actually paid for water by purchasers of land under the project, the water rights of Lake Cheesman are worth $5,600,000, or $799,075 more than was allowed by the appraisers for the physical property at the reservoir and all of the company's water rights combined. The Lake Cheesman storage rights are the very best that can be secured in Colorado under any circumstances. For irrigation purposes the water from Lake Cheesman can be delivered to thousands of acres of land lying above and east of the High Line Ditch, too high to secure water from any system now in existence. This fact has been determined by careful surveys made by the Water Company's engineers. Or it can be delivered to any one, or several irrigation systems supplying water near Denver, without the expenditure of a dollar for equipment. Because of its great capacity, the value of Lake Cheesman must be determined as part of an active irrigation system, and not as a supplemental supply, like many smaller reservoirs. In addition to the value of Lake Cheesman for irrigation or domes- tie water purposes, it possesses a value for the generation of electrical power that can be developed without affecting the worth of the water for domestic or irrigation use. The power possibilities have been investigated carefully by the best hydraulic engineers in the United States. According to their reports the value of the Lake Cheesman and the Platte Canon Ditch rights can be increased at least $2,000,000 by combining the diversions at Lake Cheesman during the irrigating season. Taking the quantity of water the company has secured from these sources, and which could have been diverted at Lake Cheesman, as a basis, Mr. F. C. Finkle, of Los Angeles, Cal., one of the best-known hydraulic engineers in the West, reports that the company can generate not less than 7,300 electrical horse-power daily. The cost of a series of power stations, supplemental reservoirs, for which sites are already owned by the company, and conduits to convey the water to the power stations he estimates at less than $3,000,000. The operation of the plants, he estimates, would produce a net profit of not less than $253,450 per annum. Capitalized at 5 per cent, this would place a value of $5,069,-000 on the power project. Deducting the cost of development, and the added value of the water rights over and above their value for domestic or irrigation purposes would be at least $2,069,000, or nearly as much as the board of appraisers allowed for all of the company's water rights for the purpose of sale to the city. This power could be developed without the waste of any water. The supplemental reservoirs below the power plants would retain the water used for power until it was required for distribution either to an irrigation or domestic supply system. The use of the water for power would not necessitate a draft on Lake Cheesman that would affect its value as a reserve supply for the city against drought. The estimates are based on using the same quantity of water that is now taken from Lake Cheesman and the Platte Canon supplies during the year, and regulating the use over the entire year from the supplementary storage reservoirs. If Lake Cheesman were being appraised for the purpose of sale to private parties for an investment there is no justification in the selling price of water or electrical power in the vicinity of Denver for a valuation of less than $5,000,000, for this one component of the Water Company's system. Its commanding position in relation to the water supply of Denver makes it even more valuable to the city than to private parties. There is no basis of computation from which it is possible to arrive at any conclusion except that the valuation placed upon Lake Cheeseman by the appraisers is distinctly favorable to the city, and as unfavorable as possible to the Water Company. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Chicago, Ill., Nov. 11.—Mrs. Clara E. Jones, of this city, was married last week to Bishop William B. Derrick, of the A. M. E. church. The newly married couple left for their future home in New York City. Washington, Nov. 14.—President Taft will go to Norfolk, Va., Friday to speak at the convention of the Atlanta Deep Waterways association. On the following day he will address the Negro and Indian students of the Hampton Institute at Hampton, Va. Manila, October, 12.—A court-martial has beed ordered to sit at Daraga for the trial of Lieuts. Gilmore and Thompson, the only Negro officers of the Philippine scouts. Gilmore is charged with making a false statement in an official document. Thompson is charged with personal misconduct. When a colored attorney in Ft. Smith, Ark., appeared in Police Court for the purpose of defending a client, Police Judge Woestman refused to allow him to practice in the city court. His action created much comment among the members of the bar, the majority of whom are Southerners, who vigorously commended the police judge. Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 8. By direction of Governor Glasscock, orders have been issued by Adjutant General N. S. Burlow that Company A, second Infantry, West Virginia National Guard, located at Gassaway, be mustered out of the service on account of the failure of a majority of the members of the company to report, as ordered last Thursday, to protect the lives of two colored men suspected of implication in an assaula upon Mrs. Alfred Lockhold. The enterprising Negro town of Mound Bayou has in course of constuction a $100,000 oil mill, a $4,000 library, $750 primary building added to the Normal Institute, and a $400 annex to the Public School. Short crops and equatorial storms don't stop the onward march of those herculean people. Mound Bayou leads—let all other Negro communities get in line. Weekly Journal. Canton, Ohio, Nov. 6. The segregation of Negro and white NO. 10 children in orphan assylums and in state and municipal institutions was recommended in a resolution adopted here today at the state conference on charities and corrections. The resolution was presented by R. A. Longman, assistant superintendent of the children's home, Cincinnati, who said he belived that the intermingling of the Negroes with the whites in childhood, tended to encourage intermarriage. James City, N. C., a famous colored town on Trent River, south of Newbern, was threatened by a destructive fire last Thursday. This colored town has been settled entirely by our race ever since the days of the Civil War. It has a colored postmaster and four very commodious churches. Its population is about 1,800. It had several large stores owned and conducted by the race, but the fire has swept practically all the business portion of the town from the face of the earth. These poor people who have been struggling to build up a substantial business have in one fell blow lost quite all they possessed. Thousands of dollars lie a mass of ruins and ashes. Washington, Nov. 15.—Ninety days' imprisonment was imposed today upon former Sheriff Joseph F. Shipp of Chattanooga, Tenn., by the supreme court of the United States for contempt of court in failing to prevent the lynching of a Negro, Ed Johnson, convicted of assault, but whose execution had been stayed by the court. Luther Williams and Nick Nolan were sentenced to imprisonment for ninety days for connection with the lynching and Jeremiah Gibson, the jailer, Henry Padgett and William Mayers, all of Chattanooga, for sixty day. Chief Justice Fuller designated the United States jail in the District of Columbia as the place of imprisonment. Attorneys for the prisoners asked on account of the difference in climate that the federal prison at Atlanta be substituted. The six men sentenced today were found guilty of conspiracy in the lynching at Chattanooga, Tenn., on March 19, 1906, of Ed Johnson a Negro, in contempt of an order of the supreme court of the United States court, issued at the instance of Justice Harlan, staying the Negro's execution day.

HEARING IS ADJOURNED BRIEFS TO BE FILED BY DECEM- BER 2D AND ARGUMENTS HEARD DECEMBER 10TH. Denver.—A hearing of the charges against Assessor Sanchez of Huerfano county, who is charged with failing to assess 41,000 acres of valuable lands, and other misconduct in office, was held before Gov. Shafroth Wed: day afternoon, On petition of attor neys for Sanchez they were allowed eight days to file a brief, and the attorneys for the state were given eight days to answer, bringing the date for both briefs to be filed to December 2. The governor announced thet he would hear the arguments on ‘the briefs on December 10, the earliest date that he would have opportunity owing to his absence from the city attending to his duties as chairman of the committee that will go to Chi- cago to seek lower passenger rates from the Western Passenger Associa- tion. Judge N. Walter Dixon and Judge Jesse Northcutt represented Sanchez, and Attorney General Barnett and Deputy J. M. Brinson represented the state. Each of the attorneys had op portunity to speak, the hearing not ad- journing until nearly 6 o'clock. The attorneys for Sanchez sought to show that it was not within the power of the governor, either under the constitution or the statutes of the state, to take action in the premises regardless of the findings of the state board of equalization, which found Sanchez guilty of the charges pre- ferred, The state’s attorneys claimed that the governor was empowered to act summarily, under both the con- stitution and the statutes. Sanchez’s attorneys touched but lightly on the charges, confining their arguments almost exclusively against the constitutionality of the governor sitting in judgment with power to re- raove a county assessor, claiming that it was a matter for the courts alone, if any action was deemed necessary. Sanchez was not present at the hearing. 7: May be Heirs to Millions. Pueblo.—After being in contro- versy for over 100 years, an estate in England which may represent mil- lions of dollars will revert to several Colorado people, according to a de- cision of English courts, notice of which has been received by Mrs. C. O, Unfug of Pueblo, who recently went to Denver to reside. ‘Two children in Pueblo, Wiliam Un- fug, clerk of the North Side water board, and Miss Vanda Unfug, a prom- inent society girl, and another son, August Unfug, chief clerk in the of- fice of Secretary of State Pearce, will be beneficiaries through their mother, Mrs, S. M. Hayden of Walsenburg, Colo., a sister of Mrs. Untug, is also a rightful heir to the estate, Mrs. Unfug, before her marriage was Miss Kate Withington and the prop- erty was owned by her great-grand- father, who was named Withington, ‘The estate, which includes much land and Sydney castle in England, has been in litigation since 1800, and the courts have just decided that the prop: erty should go to Mrs. Unfug and Mrs, Hayden, who are the oldest living lin- eal descendants of Withington. It is expected that it will take at least two years before the estate 1s finally settled. The amount of it can- not be definitely determined, but fs said to be one of the largest to come before the English courts for years. ‘Trustees for New Normal. Denver.—Another step toward the establishment of the proposed normal school at Gunnison was made Thurs- day when Governor Shafroth ap- pointed a board of trustees for the in- sfitution. ‘They are: Samuel P. Spencer, president; John A. Steele, vice president, and Joseph R. Collins, secretary. All are residents of Gun- nisoa. The last general assembly ap- propriated $50,000 for a normal school at Gunnison after that section had been trying for ten years to get a school. As the sppropriation comes in tie third class, it is considered likely that the money will be available at an early date. Work has been commenced on the $25,000 system of underground cables ho be established at Greeley by the Colorado Telephone Company and to be connected with its new building under construction, Despondency because his wife and children had left him and refusal of a druggist to sell him more morphine, are believed to be the reasons that led Dr. A. L. Gilmer, aged forty-five, one of the best-known denwists of the San Luis Valley, to commi: suicide a few days since at his home in Man- assa, where he had been practicing for the last year. For the first time in the history of the Colorado State Normal School 4 class is working for a college degree. ‘This class numbers sixty people. Many are graduates, and others are gradu- ates of state universities. The en roliment of the school is over 1,500. JUST A SUGGESTION. ~ ; She aS re.

There never was a time when peo- ple paid as much attention to their health and strength as they do now. ‘Time was when fine stock and fino horses were fed more carefully than human beings. ‘The result of properly balanced ra- tions has worked wonders with stock and recent experiments are proving that the same thing is true of man- kind. It has been found that Quaker Scotch Oats eaten often and regularly taking the place of heavy, greasy foods will work wonders in the health and strength of a family. School children fed frequently on Quaker Scotch Oats thrive physically and are always capable of the best work at school. For athletes, labor- ers, it is the best food.

Some poor dweller in the benight- ed beyond of Chicago asks what a real New England pie fs like. It probably will not help him to be told, but if he means apple, it is like an essay by Emerson lquefied with the music of Massenet and spiced with the cyni- cism of Shaw; if he means pumpkin, itis like some of Gounod’s music heard in a landscape all sun and flow- ers. It is too early yet to describe the mince pies of 1909, but last year’s —and last year was not an extraor- dinary good year—were like an in- crease in salary, and a present from home arriving on the day when one's conscience was behaving itself—Bos- ton Globe. The Dollar Sign. When it came time for Mrs. Bluffer to pack her trunk and depart from the resort where she had spent many pleasant days, where she had been the cynosure of all eyes, where she had flirted and gossipped (and betn ‘gossiped about), she visited the pro- prietor. “I've just received a check for $50 from my husband,” she told him. “You will honor it, won't you?” ‘The proprietor bowed and rubbed his hands. “My dear Mrs. Bluffer,” he ventured. “I will not only honor it, but will fall down and worship it.” Suspicious. The father of Judge W. H. Wadhams had 2 chicken-coop and a dog and a stable hand. It began to look to Mr. Wadhams as though some one had dis: covered the combination. So he kept the coop and the stable hand, but he got a new dog. Next day the bent old negro who groomed the Wad. hams’ horses came to him. ‘You los' you affection foh me, boss?” he asked. “No, Scipio,” said Mr. Wadhams, “I like you as well as ever.” “Then,” said Scipio, peevishly, “w’yn't you tie Old Rover in de chicken-coop, 'stid of dat new dorg?” Had a Sure Thing. An individual, well known on the Berlin Bourse for his wit, one morn ing wagered that he would ask the same question of 50 different persons and receive the same answer from each. The wit went to first one and then another, until he had reached the number of 50. And this is how he won the bet: He whispered half au dibly to each: “I say, have you heard that Meyer has failed?” “What Meyer?” queried the whole 50, one after another, and it was decided that the bet had been fairly won. CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs. It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of med: icines. ‘There are some truly scientific phy- siclans among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated regard- less of the value to their pockets. Here's an instance: “Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. “[ heard of a doctor who has a sum. mer cottage near me—a specialist from N. ¥.,and as a last hope, sent for him. “After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom ach became stronged to eat more. “{ kept at it, and gradually got so 1 could eat and digest three teaspoon: fuls.

COLORADO ITEMS Pueblo has been completed and fur- nishes, The house was built to re- place the one burned and cost about $40,000. ‘The assassed valuation of El Paso county is $22,265,240, according to an official statement issued by Assessor Schreiber. This is $235,000 more than last year. ‘The Southwestern Coal Company has completed a switch to the Colo- vado & Southern road and opened ‘ts mine ners Aguilar, with fifty miners. ‘The force will be Increased. ‘The Rey. William Couden, son of the chaplain of the United States Sen- ate, has aecepted a call to the pasto- rate of the First Universalist church at Colorado Springs. A.M. Plumb thinks that the Gree- ley district is adapted to breeding blooded sheep. Over 500 Shropshire ewes and bucks have been sold at $15 @ head this year by Mr. Plumb whose breeding farm is three miles east of Greeley. The lambs sold were born last spring and were purchased for the large sheep ranches in Montana, Wyoming and New Mexico. Sister Superior Kunigunda, who has been connected with St.Francis hos- pital at Colorado Springs since its erection, twenty-two years ago, and in charge of the institution for nine years, has been transferred to Denver to become sister superior at St. An- thony’s hospital. She will be suc- ceeded at Colorado Springs by Sister Superior Kmerentia, who has been in the hospital fifteen years. State Game and Fish Commissioner Thomas Holland has received a unique souvenir that he is utilizing as a penholder on his desk. It is the skull of a large gray wolf that wes Killed sixteen miles north of De Beque a few days ago by George Newton. ‘fhe specimen is one of the largest ever killed in the state and the ani- mal had a record of having destroyed a large number of cattle and sheep. The proposal to consolidate three outlying school districts in Mesa county was carried by a good major- ity and immediate action will be taken to bond the consolidated dis- trict and raise $20,000 for anew school building. The site has been selected. Mesa county, according to statistics recently compiled, has a larger percentage of children of school age attending school than any other part of the state. ‘Thirteen gambling machines of va- rious makes and kinds were demol- ished a few days since by tne sheriff of Boulder county. ‘These machines were collected by Sheriff Capp in a raid on various poolrooms and saloons, the proprietors of which appeared in District Court and made a plea of non- contendere, which was accepted by the court and Deputy District Attorney O'Connor on condition that the costs be paid and the machines destroyed. Lack of funds to continue the con- strucetion of the new state highway between Canon City and Colorado Springs may delay the work, according to a ietter received by the El Paso county commissioners from Warden ‘Tynan of the penitentiary, who was perinftted several score of convicts to do the work. The legislative appropri- ution is tied up in the fifth class of the etate funds. Possibly the Good Roads Association may help to raise the needed money, Another record in apple raising is reported from the vicinity of Denver. David Peabody, with a ranch in Lake- wood, two miles from the Denver city limits, raised and marketed 7,000 boxes from thirteen acres, and if he had cared to assort the product care- fully, believes that he could have ay- eraged $1 per box for the entire crop. As it was he got 75 cents per box at wholesale, making the value of the crop in the neighborhood of $5,000. The Portiand Cement*Company has « force of twenty-five men and ten teams at work four miles west of Coal- dale in the western part of Fremont county, grading a narrow gauge rail road from Valley station to the com: pany’s gypsum mine, a distance of 2% miles, The work is in charg» of City Begineer A. B. McFall of Flor: ence. The cost of the road will be $50,000, the heavy cost being due to a railroad biidge that must be con- structed. The annual report of the Denver Jewish hospital made a most credita- ble showing at the annual meeting of the National Jewish Hospital Associa- tion held in New York.

Washington to which is the most banquetted man in the country. The President sets his pretty regularly during his vacation trips, and Mr. Washington traces the festive board whenever he will the year 'round. Both have good opinion of the 'possum, with a knowledge of variety favoring Mr. Washington. While there may be some difference in the character of the banquets given the two honorable gentlemen, there is no glari disparity in the menus. And both men seem to hold the highest regard for the Negro chef, who does his best for these brilliant guests. Good must be great to be great! It is a standoff between President Taft and Booker T.

And both men seem to hold the highest regard for the Negro chef, who does his best for these brilliant guests. Gee. It must be great to be great! LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN! ANOTHER United States Senator has left his moorings. Senator Bullom, of Illinois, long considered a reliable friend to the Negro as Republican of the old school, has come out in favor of the idea of eliating the Negro as a political factor in the South. His prime object to pull states like Alabama, Tennessee and Texas into the Republic ANOTHER United States Senator has left his moorings. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, long considered a reliable friend to the Negro and a Republican of the old school, has come out in favor of the idea of eliminating the Negro as a political factor in the South. His prime object is to pull states like Alabama, Tennessee and Texas into the Republican column. He says that their industries demand a protective tariff. "They all want to be protected industrially, and the people are ready to join us were it not for the Negro," says the Senator. "How can you blame communities like South Carolina and Mississippi, for instance, for voting the Democratic ticket when in some sections the proportion of colored population is ten blacks to one white? It is in communities like these that the white people are afraid." It would be interesting to have Senator Cullom, or some more astute politician, explain how the white people of the South save themselves from the black peril by voting the Democratic ticket any more than they would by voting the Republican ticket. If they can control their political affairs under one name, why cannot they do so under any other name? If the Democrats of the South had been Republicans all these years since the Civil war, instead of Democrats, how many Negroes would have held office in the South? Negro disfranchisement in the South does not need the sanction of the North. It is based on social antagonism and not on political necessity. What the bourbon South wants is the total subjugation of the Negro throughout the Nation, and Northern statesmen who favor this aim should speedily be made to feel the sentiment of their own constituencies upon the unmasked issue. WATER BUGS The flimflam method of discussing the water question, resorted to by the sensational political bandits who are endeavoring to take this whole matter out of its rightful economic station and make it a stepping stone to political advantage, ought to be easily understood by intelligent men and resented as a deliberate deception and an endeavor to arouse the people against a mean and palpable myth. The question before the people of Denver regarding their water supply is a business question, within reach of the sober understanding of any man with sense enough to accumulate property or to recognize the sources of his living expenses. It is not a red flag question, requiring the people to turn anarchists and throw bombs at the heads of guarded and intrenched rulers, whose only aim is to throttle the life out of their enslaved subjects; but anybody might think that such a situation faced us, if he believed one half of the lurid stuff printed in some of our daily newspapers or exhorted to unthinking hearers by politicians possessed of the settled habit of inflaming the public mind. To ask a citizen to believe that he is dealing with bandits when he deals with men who have assumed the gigantic responsibility of providing one of the great fundamental needs of a fast growing municipality, is to invite that citizen to destroy his own property and subject his own best interests to the manipulations of political gamblers who thrive by disrupting the confidences that must exist between men under all successful forms of government, municipal or national. Denver's water supply system is a stupendous combination of scientifically constructed reservoirs, mains, conduits, ditches, and an aggregation of water rights which it has taken forty years to assemble, and these things cannot be duplicated by following the frenzied theories of political alarmists who care nothing for the real interests of the Water Company or the real welfare of the citizens. The question is one which should be discussed in the home with wife and children, rather than in mass meetings with brass bands and fireworks. It is a question regarding the means of enhancing the value of one's own property, or of conserving one's own general interests as a renter and consumer. It is a square business deal between the Water Company and the citizens, with the politicians and the sensational newspapers cut entirely out. The part played by these assumed champions is deceptive, demoralizing and bewildering, without the promise of good to either citizen or city. Qualities that Go to Make True Man By ADA MAY KRECKER NLY in rare and luminous minds seems to arise the idea of applying to character and career the laws of beauty as they are applied in the fine arts; of molding life as an art object, with faithful adherence to the principles of symmetry and proportion; or fulfilling the noble precepts of Stobeus that "all the parts of human life, in the same manner as those of a statue, ought to be beautiful." O业 It was Pascale who formulated the exquisitely fine criterion of conduct and appearance that obtrudes nothing on the spectator, but, as occasion makes meet, reveals accomplishment in everything. "We should not," he said, "be able to say of a man, He is a mathematician, or a preacher, or eloquent, but that he is a gentleman. It is a bad sign when, on seeing a person, you remember his book. I would prefer you to see no quality till you meet it and have occasion to use it, for fear some one quality prevail and designate and designate the man. Let none think him a fine speaker unless oratory be in question, and then let them think it." It seems beyond the powers of the present order to produce lives that are symmetrical with respect to man's several natures—his physical, his mental, his moral, his bodily, his intellectual, his spiritual. It seems beyond our age to make men whose accomplishments are so versatile, whose manners and conversation so eloquent and so flexible that they can flow into any mold and perfectly, proving poets when poetry is in question, painters when art is discussed, orators when eloquence is, musicians, athletes. Yet it is ideals for men like these that our present educational models seem to nurse. And it is to men like these that the civilization of Greece in the zenith of her glory gave birth. The sages and statesmen of those days were athletes and artists as well. A. B. Hierocles, the Greek disciple of Pythagoras, in interpreting the golden verses of his teacher, reasoned that the body was the temple of the soul, then subordinate thereto, and the soul was the shrine of the spirit, hence its inferiority. It was meet, therefore, that the spirit be accorded first honors and noblest service and culture, that the lesser powers of the soul receive next rank, and the body, the humblest of all man's instruments, be given the lowest place, occupy the least thought. Some men tie strings around their fingers or pin the ends of their cravats together so they will remember to mail the letter their wives gave them to post or to remind them of buying three-quarters of a yard of the silk sample they were given by Mrs. Man to match. Postcards Mailed to Yourself as Reminder By BETTY BEFFEL But a man I know has a better scheme than either of those time-honored processes of stimulating recollection. This man is head of the business promotion department of a big mercantile institution. He is ever on the lookout for ideas on how to make business better. He makes it a point to ask every man he meets at least two questions. He gets ideas from men in all walks of life. He talks with the conductor on the car or the newsboy on the corner. He watches the street fakers for new ways of catching the attention of the public. He has a lot of things to remember. But he doesn't bulge his pockets with memoranda. Nor does he stick pins in his necktie. He simply writes each idea on a postcard. And then he mails the postcard to himself. And when he sits at his desk he finds the postcards he has mailed to himself the night before. Each bears a suggestion that may be valuable to his department. Some of the ideas he has sent to himself in this way have added thousands of dollars to the profits of the firm. The proportion of girls to boys dealt with in Chicago juvenile courts is at least 50 per cent. higher than any other city in the United States. For this condition I blame local industrial conditions and laxity in many homes. Girl Problem Causes Much Alarm By JUDGE B. B. LINDSEY Denver Juvenile Court Much Alarm By JUDGE B. B. LINDSEY Denver Juvenile Court The girl problem is much harder to deal with than that of boys. It is much more difficult to help a girl who has once gone wrong. The condition is one that ought to cause general alarm. The industrial conditions leading girls to work at early ages and at less than living wages forces them into a life overfilled with temptation. Within 10 years 32,000 children have been made orphans and brought into juvenile courts as dependents as a result of explosions and other accidents in mines, three-fourths of which could have been avoided by mine owners. Many of these, through force of necessity, are later seen in courts as delinquents. In the days of my boyhood down on a farm in middle Georgia the good people almost universally slept on feather beds, and they are still used to a great extent. Still Sleep on Feathers in Georgia By O. W. TELFAIR on Feathers in Georgia By O. W. TELFAIR Everybody thought them fine, especially on cold winter nights, the feathers being of a softness that conducted to easy slumber. I did not dream of finding the feather bed of my youth anywhere in Europe, but on a recent visit to a small town in Germany I came across the exact counterpart of what I had often rested upon in the halcyon days of my boyhood—a great, big, downy bed of feathers that, yielding to the pressure of my body, left me to sleep in a deep hollow with mounds of feathers enveloping me on either side. It struck me as odd to find this reminder of a bygone epoch in the old world, and on inquiry, I learned that feather beds are still the popular thing in rural Germany. Copyright 1909 by Wickes Co.

Term Commences Monday, November 15th | : FOR TERMS AND HOURS | SEE GANNAWAY, 2804 California Important Branch of Education Seems to Be Neglected In Schools of To-day. Misspe!ling among the educated, or the supposedly educated, is apparent: ly on the increase—thanks, {t may be, to the passing of the ‘spelling bee” and to the crowding of the school curriculum with a multitude of studies unknown and undreamed of by our sturdy ancestors; and thanks also, perhaps, to the present movement for phonetic spelling, which the indolent are tempted to interpret as “spelling as you please.” In a statistical analysis of the spelling of his students, Prof. Wil- Mam B. Batley of Yale makes some startling revelations. Of 171 essays written by seniors and juniors, only 25 were orthographically correct, while 14 per cent. contained each ten or more misspelled words, and one heterographic genius achieved 31 mistakes of this sort, There were 443 misspellings In all, and six especially troublesome words were “separate,” “superintendent,” “governor,” “committee,” “‘comptrol- ler,” and “privilege,” the last mas- querading as privalege, privilige, priy- fledge, privelege, privilridge and priy- aledge. Certainly the later years of a course in a great university are not the occasion for remedying the de- ficiencies of elementary studies in the common schools. Ill fares the school, to latest fads a prey, where courses multiply and the three R’a decay.— Dial. ere eo = =~. > eee ae ee es Ss es Te ee ee No Charge for \ Alterations O f See & Perfect Fit, GARMENT: STORE Boo 925-16" ST.:—: OPP.

The hour one a. m., and all silent along the hall of this sleeping floor in a hotel save for the occasionally heard muffled note of a foghorn, the sound of somebody snoring in one of the rooms, and then presently the sound of somebody moving quietly, al- most stealthily, along the long hall, and then under the breath, spoken in a low tone: “Devil! Where's that trunk?” And I knew that trunk he was look- ing for well, for it had been a land- mark for me too. standing in the hall outside of one of the rooms. My room was two doors beyond the trunk on the right, and always when I didn’t need to loox for my number— my room was two doors further on— and apparently he had been doing the same thing. But now the trunk was gone, and in that long hall there was no landmark for him, and then I heard him moving about quietly, almost stealthily, in the dim light scanning the numbers on the doors, and then I heard him set a key. in a lock and open a door and go In somewhere and shut the door behind him, and apparently he had hit the right room, for then again all was still save for the occasionally heard muffled note of that foghorn.

Among the curiosities cf tree life is the sofar, or whistling tree of Nubia. When the winds blow over this tree it gives out flutelike sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. It ts the spirit of the dead singing among the branches, the natives say, but the scientific white man says that the sounds are due to a myriad of small holes which an insect bores in the spines of the branches. ‘The weeping tree of the Canary is- lands is another arboreal freak. This tree, in the driest weather, will rain down showers from its leaves, and the natives gather up the water from the pool formed at the foot of the trunk and find it pure and fresh. The tree exudes the water from innumerable pores situated at the base of the leaves. ee oe a See The safe colors for a house, besides red, are white, gray, yellow and brown, Yellow or gray, with white trimmings, suits many a plain pitch- roofed or square colonial house, Grays and browns are good for ugly, nonde- script ones; the grays always being pleasanter on the yellower shades than on cold blue tones, White sug- gests the formal type again.

FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. WESTERN NEWS. Fire insurance companies doing business in Kansas have decided to test the constitutionality of the rate regulation law of that state. Albert C. Loring, president of the Pillsbury Flour Mills Company of Minneapolis, has taken out $500,000 life insurance, with the company as beneficiary. Pres. B. L. Winchell, of the Rock Island system, who has recently returned from a trip in Europe, says that the service of American railroads is inmeasurably superior to that of the roads abroad, especially in regard to the passenger service. The leading citizens of Cody, Wyo., gave a banquet to Col. William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) on his return a few days since from a successful season with his Wild West show. He expects to spend the winter at Cody and on his ranches in that vicinity. On the 16th inst. at Green's Fork near Richmond, Ind., John Fletcher Medaris died at the close of a big celebration of his one-hundredth birthday. Two hundred and fifty relatives were present at the anniversary dinner and the entire population of the town turned out in his honor. The case against Bernard Love, the railroad employee who secured a pass at Chicago, for Charles J. Lundbloom, a consumptive, was dismissed, the federal authorities deciding that Love secured the pass as an act of charity. Lundbloom was arrested while en route to Denver in search of health, and was discharged on examination. "If you could take New Mexico to New England and wedge it in between Conneticut and Rhode Island you might be able to interest Senator Aldrich in statehood," was the statement made by William Jennings Bryan at Albuquerque. He forecasted that the statehood bill would meet with considerable opposition. At Belvidron, ill., on the 16th inst., seventeen keepers of soft drink places were fined in the aggregate $11,425 and each received a jail sentence of 30 to 60 days for selling intoxicating drinks. This is said to be the largest total of fines ever imposed for similar offenses in a single sitting of a court. The city voted dry eighteen months ago. Blaine Selvage, a young mechanic of Eureka, Calif., in a monoplane of his own construction, has made a trial flight of three-fourths of a mile, at an average height of three feet, in one minute and a half. Selvage not only constructed the machine unassisted, but even made the 20-horsepower four-cylinder engine with which it is driven. The Stamford & Northwestern railroad, a Texas line just completed, has been bought by the Colorado & Southern, which furnished money to build the line. It starts at Stamford, on the Wichita Valley line, and runs northwest to Dickens county, in the Panhandle, a distance of 82 miles. The Colorado & Southern advanced about $1,000,000 to construct the line. Kilpatrick brothers, Union Pacific contractors, have signed a contract, it is said, for the building of the new Fort Collins line of the Union Pacific to cost about $1,500,000. This line will be built north from Dacono to Fort Collins, practically parallel with the Colorado & Southern, which now monopolizes the Denver to Fort Collins business. It will have practically the same mileage as the C. & S., and will possibly be a little shorter. GENERAL NEWS. A report on suicide figures for 1908 has just been issued, showing a ratio of 21.8 per 100,000 of population, surpassing the previous high record of 20.7 in 1904. C. J. Tevis and J. Campbell Corey of Cincinnati and George Howard, a professional balloonist, landed at Derby, ten miles west of Buffalo, after a thrilling trip of 500 miles, which carried them back across Lake Erie. Dr. Louise G. Robinovitch, who recently came to New York from France, has greatly interested the medical profession by bringing to life again dead rabbits and dogs. She believes that her electrical machine will not only restore life in the body of a manshocked to "death" by electricity, but also save many lives of an overdose of chloroform or ether. Brig. Gen. Judson D. Bingham, U. S. A., retired, died at his home in Philadelphia on the 17th inst., aged 78. He was born in Lawrence county, Pennsylvania, and graduated from West Point in 1854. Prominent scientists of New York City have organized the Radium Institute of America, which is to be devoted to the treatment of disease by radium under philanthropic auspices. Their plan contemplates the establishment of a clinic and a research laboratory. Before leaving New York for Europe a few days since, Sir Thomas Lipton stated that he will challenge for a race for the American cup, to be sailed in 1911. Shareholders of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis (Big Four) railroad met at Cleveland and voted a bond issue of $20,000,000 for physical improvements. A new $1,000,000,000 company will be the result of an action of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company in securing control of the Western Union Telegraph Company through the purchase of Gould Stock. Mrs. Alice Smith, wife of Leroy E. Smith, superintendent of the American District Telegraph Company of York, died at her home in Newark, N.J., a few days ago after swallowing some tablets taken to relieve a headache. Major Mearns and J. Alden Loring, the naturalist, recently arrived at Nairo robi with splendid collections of photographs, birds and mammals. Both men are in excellent health. In his climb of Mount Kenya, Loring reached an altitude of 16,500 feet. Edward M. Meyers of Red Bank, N. J., has been fined $100 by Judge Cross in the United States Court at Trenton, for the illegal use of the United States mails. Meyers sent defamatory postal cards to the members of a Kansas jury which convicted a Socialist editor for the same offense. The Pilgrims of England played their final game of association football on their American tour at Bay Ridge., L. L., on the 16th inst. defeating the Crescent Athletic club, 6 to 1. The Pilgrims played 22 games while in the United States, winning 16 and losing 2, with four games drawn. Representative Nicholas Longworth has emphatically denied the statements published as coming from a woman in Berlin, to the effect that his wife, while she was still Miss Alice Roosevelt, had been photographed by him astride the sacred elephant of the Koreans at their national capital. Mother Earth may have the experience next May, of passing through the gaseous tail of a comet, according to an interview by Assistant Prof. Henry N. Russell, Ph. D., of the astronomical department of Princeton university. He hastened to explain, however, that no bad physical effects were to be anticipated. The will of the late Mrs. Franziska Speyer, widow of George Speyer, a partner in the banking house of Speyer & Co., of New York, London and Frankford on-the-Main, bequeaths between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000 to charity. The gifts include $1,000,000 for research into the subject of cancer and lupus. Director Lowell of the observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., reports the first apparent Antarctic snowfall of the season on Mars. Two patches appear at the altitude 62.72 longitude 100,190. The first was November 12, and was small, with a great increase November 16. The second was observed for the first time on the latter date. Legislation for the District of Columbia to prevent brutality in football and possibly to actually prohibit the playing of the game, is likely to follow the mortality which has marked contests this season. The district commissioners have the corporation counsel at work on the subjects, and, if the situation can be handled by a police regulation, Congress will be asked to pass a bill which the district commissioners will draft. Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the Northwest passage, who recently arrived in New York from Copenhagen, explained that his visit tao America was to fit out an oceanographic expedition for the Norwegian government. the expedition would start, he said, from Christiansand in Nansen's old ship, the Fram, next July, and probably would cruise for five years. The first year will be spent in the southern portion of the North Atlantic, studying the currents, temperatures, the ocean bottom and sea life. Then the Fram will be navigated around the Horn to the Pacific, fitting out in San Francisco probably for an Arctic trip. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

To protect power sites, Secretary Ballinger has withdrawn from entry 2,584 acres of land lying along the Gunnison river in Colorado and New Mexico, and 712 acres on Green river and its tributaries in Wyoming. This land now being in the public domain, will probably be affected by legislation to be enacted during the next Congress. The rank of major general in the army has been conferred upon William H.

A Remarkable Preacher. A young preacher who was staying at a clergy house was in the habit of retiring to his room for an hour or more each day to practice pulpit oratory. At such times he filled the house with sounds of fervor and pathos and emptied it of almost everything else. Phillips Brooks chanced to be visiting a friend in this house one day when the budding crator was holding forth. "Gracious me!" exclaimed the bishop, starting up in assumed terror.

"Son," pleaded the farmer, "you wouldn't take the last apple dumplings from your poor sick pa, would you?"—Success Magazine.

For Asthma, Bronchitis and all Throat Troubles Take PISO'S CURE NICARAGUA MAY HAVE TROUBLE MUST EXPLAIN EXECUTION OF TWO AMERICANS FOUND WITH INSURGENTS. PEREMPTORY DEMAND PENDING EXPLANATIONS, NEW NI CARAGUA MINISTER REFUSED RECOGNITION. Washington. — Announcement that this government is tired of the highhanded action of the small Central American republics practically was contained in a dispatch sent, late Thursday to the Bluefields Steamship Company, which sought the protection of the State Department from interference by the insurgents now operating against President Zelaya. An hour later a peremptory note couched in diplomatic language, but none the less direct, was delivered to Senor Felipe Rodriguez, charge d'affaires of the Nicaraguan legation, demanding a full and complete explanation of the execution of two Americans, Leonard Grace and Leroy Cannon, who were killed by order of Zelaya when they were found in the insurgent army. Pending a satisfactory explanation of the occurrence President Taft has refused to recognize Isidore Hazera, the new Nicaraguan minister. Mr. Taft is thoroughly aroused by the actions of the Zelayan government and apparently is determined to make the lives of American citizens much safer and considerably more respected in Central America that they have been hitherto. The attitude of the government was clearly shown late Thursday when the State Department sent a dispatch to the Bluefields Steamship Company, the headquarters of which is in New Orleans. The company's regular steamer was about to set sail for Bluefields, Nicaragua, with a miscellaneous cargo, counted in which were a number of rifles and other munitions of war. The corporation was warned by agents of the Nicaraguan insurrectionary forces that the vessel would be liable to seizure and the steamship people promptly called on the State Department to declare the protection this government would give in such cases. The State Department replied promptly. The answer was the result of a conference between the President and the secretary of state and carried full weight. It gave the steamship company no encouragement and practically recognized the revolutionary forces operating against the Zelayan administration, a proceeding for which there probably is no parallel in the records of this government. The dispatch, directed to the steamship company at New Orleans and signed "Knox, Secretary of State," read: "If the announced blockade or investment of the Nicaraguan port of San Juan del Norte (Greytown) is effectively maintained and the requirements of international law, including warning to approaching vessels, are observed, this government would not be disposed to interfere to prevent its enforcement. A naval vessel will be ordered to Greytown to observe and report whether the blockade is effective." Court Limits Negro's Rights. Des Moines, Ia.—Mrs. Susie Brown, a negress, sued the J. H. Bell Coffee Company for $1,000 damages because she was refused a cup of coffee at a pure food show in Des Moines a year ago. In the lower court the woman won out, but the Supreme Court Wednesday reversed the decision, holding that the Bell company, being a private concern, had the right to refuse to serve anyone it wished, even though the person had paid an admission fee at the door. Chief Justice Evans and Justice Weaver filed vigorous dissenting opinions. Mrs. Stetson Excommunicated. Boston.—An order of excommunication against Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson of New York, for years one of the most prominent members of the Christian Science denomination, was issued Thursday by the directors of the Mother Church. In their order the directors stated that a conference of more than three days had convinced them of the truth of the charges against Mrs. Stetson, namely, that she had worked against the interests of the church and of members of the church who were not her followers, and that she persisted in teachings and practices that are contrary to Christian Science. Closing Scenes in Read Trial. Denver.—Only secondary in interest to the remarkable and dramatic recital given by Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps and her conversations with Mrs. Allen F. Read, was the story told by W. W. Watson, one of the executors of the Cheesman estate, when he dissuaded Mrs. Read from continuing her efforts to get money from Mrs. Walter S. Cheesman, on November 6, 1908, three days prior to her attempt upon Mrs. Phipps. Both sides rested their cases Thursday afternoon.

Y., was a man of great eccentricity but high moral character. The deacon will speak the truth and shame the devil," was often said of him. On one occasion a friend was engaged in a lawsuit in regard to some land a few miles from Utica. He held the land at a high price. During the trial he called Deacon Potter as a witness, to prove how valuable the land was. The deacon was sworn and asked if he knew the land. "Yes," he replied, "I know every foot of it." "What do you think it is worth, Mr. Potter?" was the next question. The old man paused a moment and then said, slowly: "If I had as many dollars—as my yoke of oxen—could draw—on a sled—on glazed ice—I vow—I would not give—a dollar an acre for it!"—Youth's Companion.

Two Little Girls Had Eczema Very Badly—In One Case Child's Hair Came Out and Left Bare Patches. Cuticura Met with Great Success. "I have two little girls who have been troubled very badly with eczema. One of them had it on her lower limbs. I did everything that I could hear of for her, but it did not give in until warm weather, when it seemingly subsided. The next winter when it became cold the eczema started again and also in her head where it would take the hair out and leave bare patches. At the same time her arms were sore the whole length of them. I took her to a physician, but the child grew worse all the time. Her sister's arms were also affected. I began using Cuticura Remedies, and by the time the second lot was used their skin was soft and smooth. Mrs. Charles Baker, Ablton, Me., Sept. 21, '08." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props, Boston. A Hero. Tommy's mother had made him a present of a toy shovel and sent him out in the sand lot to play with his baby brother. "Take care of baby now, Tommy, and don't let anything hurt him," was mamma's parting injunction. Presently screams of anguish from baby sent the distracted parent flying to the sand lot. "For goodness' sake, Tommy, what has happened to the baby?" said she, trying to soothe the wailing infant. "There was a naughty fly biting him on the top of his head, and I killed it with the shovel," was the proud reply.—Exchange. Good Reason for Marrying. A young couple developed such incompatibility of temper that six years after marriage they carried their difficulties to the divorce court.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street For the Hostess Chat on Interesting Topics of Many Kinds, by a Recognized Authority Fashion's Latest Fashion's Latest A Novel Shower. A Novel Shower. A dozen girls who lived for years as neighborhood friends showered one of their number, who is to be a December bride, in this unusual manner: The hostess asked them all to meet at her house informally at two o'clock, the bride-elect was asked to come at three. In this way the hostess explained her scheme, which was as follows. She had material for each one to make the following articles: A dusting cap, three dusters, a broom bag, ironing holder, laundry bag, kitchen apron, clothespain bag, roller towel and a case to wind linen doilies on. The entire cost was added and divided equally and then each article was wrapped in tissue paper, tied with ribbon and hidden throughout the rooms. When the honored guest arrived, they chatted awhile, then the hostess announced that a fairy godmother had confided to her that there were packages of value concealed within the portals of the room, to be discovered only by a bride-elect and to the tune of bridal music. Whereupon the hostess sat down to the piano and played wedding marches while the merry little bride hunted the hidden treasures, guided by the loud or soft tones on the piano. All the packages being discovered, they were opened and the girls all set to work on which ever piece they chose. They pronounced this a utility "shower," and it certainly was practical, for the guest of honor said her mind was so in the clouds that she had never even dreamed of the articles presented. Besides it was a jolly afternoon. Refreshments were English toasted muffins, orange marmalade, preserved ginger and delicious tea, brewed by the hostess. The Golden Wedding. A fiftieth anniversary to be celebrated this month is going to be a most beautiful affair. The invitations are lettered in gold engraving and ask you to arrive between the hours of eight and ten. The decorations throughout the rooms are to be in yellow, consisting of showers of gilt wedding bells, which are to swing from every chandelier and be suspended by yellow tulle and yellow satin ribbon over the heads of the couple where they will stand to receive congratulations. This corner is to be made a perfect bower of greens studded with yellow chysanthemums. Brass candlesticks holding yellow candles are to stand on piano, mantel, bookcases, etc. The honored bride will carry a bouquet of 50 yellow roses, and the refreshments are to be orange ice, New York ice cream, sunshine cake iced with yellow, and the bonbons are to be wrapped in gilt paper. Gilt bell-shaped boxes are to be given as souvenirs, bearing the monogram of the happy pair. The November stone is the toopaz, and it works up beautifully into seals, with handle of gold, into watch fobs and pins. I have seen all these articles and they will go as gifts to this wedding. As every one likes to give a toast and often people are not prepared, there are to be perfectly exquisite cards passed to each one to be read aloud after refreshments. These cards are done in gold lettering, with a mother of pearl motif worked out beautifully. The choicest gems of our best writers are found on these latest creations. I must admit they are only postcards, as the reverse side shows. For want of a better name I call them "Sentiment" cards. After the guests have paid this pretty tribute the cards are to be collected and put in a box covered with cloth of gold and presented to the aged couple. A Guessing Contest. This clever little stunt was the finale at a shower given for a November bride. A table was brought into the room having on it a lot of things, each one representing a cake; cards were passed bearing the duplicate numbers of those on the articles. Great fun was had in the guessing. Here are some of the objects, and a hostess may enlarge the list as she desires: A sponge (sponge cake), a little toy hen for "layer cake," a chocolate lozenge (chocolate cake), two little Cupids (angel food), a picture of a bride in full wedding costume (wedding cake) a bit of gold and silver gauze or ribbon (gold and silver cake), etc. For prizes there were recipe books and several beautifully decorated cakes. CARE OF THE TABLE LINEN Best Quality Will Quickly Spoil If Not Handled in the Proper. Manner. The careful keeping of table linen will mean more toward a perfect table than perhaps the quality of the linen itself. The most exquisite table linen will look no better than the poorest quality if it be thrown into a too small drawer or closet. Just a pair of tablecloths will go further if they are kept well flattened or, better still, rolled on a pasteboard or wooden roller than a dozen ill-kept ones. All centerpieces, if not rolled, should be spread flat, in a full-sized box or a linen-covered portfolio. The portfolio is a reliable addition to the dining room or pantry, and it may be made at home by covering two pieces of pasteboard with tan-colored linen or crash, hinging them together with coarse linen thread or with narrow ribbon strips an inch in length, so that the portfolio will hold more flat linen pieces. This, when filled, is tied together with ribbons and kept in a napkin drawer, where even the sudden rush for napkins can no longer wrinkle the embroidered linens. Skeleton bodies are popular. There is quite a fad for opal matrix. The Japanese wash silks are lovelier than ever. Foliage colorings abound. Enormous black cherries are used on some of the hats. Coats for girls' suits are plain and almost straight. The latest Parisian novelty is the hand-tucked waist. Belts will match the skirts instead of the waists this season. Most of the new crepe blouses are inset with Irish crochet lace. Pretty little neck bows are made of colored open-work embroidery. Swiss embroidery, whether hand done or machine, gives excellent effects. COR. 15TH & LARIMER STS.
