LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA Is he There to Settle the Fate of the American Negro? An Astounding Story of What is Believed to be the Real Purpose of the Ex-President's Mysterious Journey to the Dark Continent By Wm. Buckey VOL. XVI. ROOSEV IN Is he There to Settle the Fate An Astounding Story of W Real Purpose of the Ex Journey to the Dark Cor That Theodore Roosevelt, while apparently in Africa on a hunting expedition, killing tigers and fleas, is in reality carefully investigating conditions to ascertain if it be not possible and practicable to establish in the Sudan country a second empire of Liberia, and thereby solve forever the Negro question of America, is the disclosure made by a United States federal attorney, in charge of a Southern district, who relates the supposed secret plans of Roosevelt in all their details. The plan, as revealed by the former president's confidant, is "to stake out a good section of the country in the Sudan, north of Congo Free State and west of German and British East Africa; hoist up the Stars and Stripes at the four corners, have Uncle Sam declare a protectorate, organize the native tribes into a suzerainty of the United States of America, and then will come the expatriation of the Negroes from this country to the new empire in the heart of Africa. In the rounding out of the plan, a wedge will be formed by a nation under the control of the United States, that will prevent the expansion territorially or commercially of Germany and will make the United States a factor in the balance of power among the nations of Europe now struggling to retain and enlarge their footholds in Africa. The federal attorney who disclosed what he asserted was the intention of President Roosevelt to solve the Negro question while in Africa bore out his declaration with a buttress of facts that dovetail with the movements of Roosevelt both previous to his departing for Africa and since he has penetrated beyond the reach of the newspaper arm. "His plan to cross a territory not at present under the flag of any European nation," continued the federal attorney, "his determination to take with him men known to be expert agriculturists, capable of judging soil conditions; his skill in surrounding himself with representatives of the civil and military arms of the government, and, above all, his persistent refusal to allow any newspaper men to accompany his expedition—all these acts and facts lead me to --- believe that Roosevelt went to Africa to carry out the plan he discussed with me when gathering data on the Negro question. Again, he has taken with him a large quantity of trinkets with which to placate the natives with whom he first would be obliged to deal before mapping out the country to be populated by the Negroes. He has kept his plans absolutely secret, because every nation of Europe, at the first whisper of his intentions, would direct a dozen detachments to dog his footsteps and prevent another Fashoda maneuver. With Roosevelt, long before he devised his scheme to deport the blacks to Africa, the Negro question always has been a paramount issue. He told me that the criticisms he received from all parts of the country when he entertained Booker T. Washington caused him to come to the belief that it would be utterly impossible to educate the Negro to a standard of social equality with the white race, and that he saw clearly that no inferior race could exist for any length of time and prosper in a republican country. Roosevelt said the attitude the South assumed toward the Charleston postmastership confirmed his belief, and that it was this, based on other facts he had gathered, some of which I gave him, that led him to form his plan to see if the only logical solution of the Negro question—deportation—could not be brought about successfully. Through federal officers scattered throughout the South he ascertained that a condition existed that was leading to one certain end, and that would be the extinction of the Negro element by a method other than race decay. His data correctly informed him that the Negro as a laborer in the South was fast being replaced by the Negro as a thief, and that even such menial positions as waiters, street cleaners and day laborers on public improvements all were being filled with whites, while the Negro, having no employment left open to him, was gradually becoming more and more accustomed to support himself by thievery and to consider himself at war with the whites. All through his trips to the South Roosevelt sought information con- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State, House onizing Tho ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, cerning the Negro question, and the information he received, I believe, is the basis for his expressing himself so freely and asserting it was his belief that the existence of the Negro in North America had become a question of the ability of the South to continue to bear a burden that was becoming excessive. "Roosevelt will burst from the jungles of Africa next April and say, 'Here, I have done it; now help me. I have risked my life for a year to find a solution to your Negro problem. I have organized a friendly federation of tribes in the most fertile country of Africa. I have prepared a place for the Negro, where each can have a hundred and sixty acres of land. This is not the pestilential coast of Liberia, but the very heart of Africa. The colonizing of this country will also prevent the expansion of our commercial enemy, Germany." And then, exerting all his influence, he will ram through legislation and strike while the iron is hot. He plans, if necessary or possible, to have the individual states issue bonds to finance his migration and expatriation proposition, in proportion to the Negro population in each, supplemented by a bond guarantee by the federal government. As a last resort he relies on the attitude of the South to raise the money, if necessary, by popular subscription, feeling sure every county and locality throughout the South will open subscription lists and that the money will pour forth in abundance. "There is one more problem, and Roosevelt seems to think he can solve this also. And that is the necessity of being able to persuade the Negro to migrate. State legislation Roosevelt knows he can control, if its object is to settle the Negro question; but by offering the Negroes peace and safety, freedom from conditions that are now humiliating, by offering each a farm with a bonus with which to make a new start and buy the tools of husbandry, by acclaiming that he is the friend of the Negro and always has been, and that his solution will improve them as a race and as individuals—by these means Roosevelt hopes to overcome the situation without compulsory legislation, unless it might be by a remote time limit of, say twenty years. If he does not find conditions over there as he expected, as he has not announced publicly his plans, he can withdraw gracefully and no harm has been done; but I feel sure he will do his utmost to put the deal through. It is the kind of an undertaking he likes." What is Roosevelt really doing in Africa? Strong evidence is now being brought to light which affirms the rumor that he is there to solve the Negro question. Did Roosevelt, a man who has kept the --- world in a turmoil for seven years, go out to Africa with dreams equalling those of the Corsican, expecting to reverse the laws of ethnology and turn the tide of migration back from West to East? Did he expect to succeed where Monroe had failed, to combat the lust of European nations for every inch of soil on the Dark Continent? Did he expect to be able to accomplish that which a saeriffice of a million lives in the Civil War did not? And if this has been his real game, instead of lions and tigers, will he burst from the jungles of Africa next April, expecting with one hand to push back the nations of Europe, and with the other to beckon to the Ishmael tribe of North America and point it the way to a promised land?

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Negroes are restrained from using the ritual, passwood, pin and colors of the Elks, by a decision of the appelate division of the supreme court, filed at White Plains, N. Y. Dallas, Texas., Jan. 4.—Edmund Jackson, colored, pardoned from the penitentiary by Governor Campbell on Christmas day, is dead today by his own hand. He returned to Waxahatchie, this county, and finding his wife had secured a divorce, shot and killed her, then sent a bullet through his own head, causing instant death. The solid gold elephant scarfpin, presented to Auditor Ralph W. Tyler by Minister Ernest W. Lyon as a token of the latter's appreciation of Mr. Tyler's splendid services in connection with the recent Lyon-Scott banquet, was made of gold taken from one of the richest mines in the Liberian Republic. Naturally, Mr. Tyler values the unique gift very highly. Oklahoma wants the 1913 Demonstrative Exposition, and Douglass Russel, editor of the Western Age at Langston, and superintendent of the Institute for Deaf and Blind at Taft, is heading a mouvement looking to that end. It is proposed that the various commercial clubs throughout the state use their influence to secure from the legislature a liberal appropriation. Tuskegee, Ala., Jan. 4.—The nineteenth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference, which was to have been held in February, will be held January 19. The workers' conference, composed mainly of teachers and others interested in the educational, moral and civic uplift of the Negro people, will be held on the following day. The Mosaic Templars of America added something like ten thousand members to its fold during the year of 1909. We do not mean that ten thousand members were added and eight or nine thousand lost. This is indeed a great showing for an organization organized by Negroes, and one that has no white brethren.

C., Jan. 4.—Nearly one thousand well dressed, well behaved Negroes celebrated Emancipation Day here January 1, holding the exercises in the court house which was crowded to its full capacity. The crowd, headed by two colored brass bands, carrying North Carolina flags, and playing "Dixie" marched through the principal streets of the town and made quite a creditable show. That Booker T. Washington is up to the minute in all of his many successful movements was shown Tuesday night at Tremont Temple, Boston, Mass., where he gave a moving picture exhibition of Tuskegee Institute in full operation. He gave a very interesting demonstration here last year at the Academy of Music with a number of students. Then, of course, he could only show a small portion of what is being done for the masses by industrialism, but with the moving pictures he can and does give a more general view of the important features at Tuskegee. Announcement is made that a theater, to hold 1,500 persons, is to be erected by a Baltimore syndicate on T. street, between 6th and 7th street northwest, in the heart of the representative colored section of the city. It is the plan of the new management to provide a house where the best colored traveling companies may appear in Washington. They are now barred from all of the theatres conducted by the whites. On New Year's day the Northern boundary line of the Negro residential section in Harlem was extended another block, and now colored tenants have taken the place of the whites who have lived on 137th street for years. Notice was given the white tenents in the five six-story tenements at 13 to 21 W. 137th street several days ago that they would have to vacate their flats the first of the year, and despite the protests of many the white exodus and Negro invasion took place as planned. The buildings were built only a few years ago by a man named Cohen, who last week transferred the property to Nail and Parker, 25 W. 133d street.—N. Y. Age. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Uncle Sam Put Ban on Taxicab Trips House Insurgents Ignored by Cannon Puckerless Persimmon Is Coming Next Puckerless Persimmon Is Coming Next Vice-President Sherman Feels Obscure Vice-President Sherman Feels Obscure WASHINGTON.—Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the interstate commerce commission, is the most devoted labor union man in the public service. The charge is constantly made by non-union people that Mr. Moseley will have none but union men in the division of safety appliance inspectors, of which he is the head, and Mr. Moseley always admits the charge and defends his position, and he always carries his point, too. Mr. Moseley is credited with having a big share of influence in convincing the railroad voters that Mr. Taft deserved their support. The other day he went to the White House to see the president, and, on leaving, a friend asked after his health. "Never better," replied Mr. Moseley. "You were mighty ill about two years ago," observed the friend, "but seem to be better than ever now." "Yes," replied the secretary. "I am a firm believer in the brotherhood of man and in all good works, and no malicious animal magnetism ever gets action on me." "Um! Yes," replied his friend; "but I guess you're a still more devoted believer in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers." Economy in small things as well as in great is being impressed on officials in the government service whose work requires them to make expenditures from time to time chargeable to government funds. DESPITE the fact that Speaker Joseph G. Cannon declines to recognize the house insurgents when he meets them on the street, and despite the fact that the congressional committee is permitting literature to be sent out by one of its employees evidently with the intent of defeating the Republican insurgents for re-election, that merry band of trouble-makers continue to be about the breeziest lot of congressional mavericks at large in the legislative pasture. They have already begun to hold meetings to plan the deposition of the "czar of the house," and in the meanwhile the leaders of the house congressional committee are hastening to deny that they are responsible for the literature sent out against the insurgents. Recently a group of the insurgents got together and swapped experiences about their various meetings with Speaker Cannon. "Representative Morse of Wisconsin met Uncle Joe in the office of a prominent government official this summer," said one of them, "and Uncle Joe completely ignored him. The UNCLE SAMS NEW PUCKERLESS PERSIMMON YUM.YUM A puckerless persimmon is the hope of the future. Department of agricu- culture officials are figuring on a fruit that will not draw the jawbone out of place and yet can be transported a reasonable distance without spoiling. A blending of varieties or treatment by chemical processes are the means by which it is expected to eliminate the puckering qualities. Japanese persimmons hold the record for size. They also have all medals for drawing the mouth through to the back of the neck. It is solemnly declared that their bite has not become less irritating than it was in 1828. It is proposed to mix the Jap- THE VICE-PRESIDENT HEY TELL IT TO THE COPENHAGEN UNIVERSITY VICE-PRESIDENT SHERMAN recently confided to a friend that he is not altogether happy. Mr. Sherman, during a recent visit to Albany, tried to identify a young man who wanted a money order cashed at the capital postoffice, but payment was refused, the clerk declaring he did not know the vice-president. Writing to the secretary of state's secretary, Mr. Sherman asked: A notable case is that of internal revenue agents and inspectors. Commissioner Cabell, in a circular of instructions, has given notice that cabs, taxicabs and automobiles, are to be used only in cases of absolute necessity, which must be explained satisfactorily, or otherwise such items of traveling expense will be disallowed. Representative Walter Smith of Iowa says that every time he hears that a message is about to be sent to congress dealing with the relations of the United States with some Latin or South American republic it always reminds him of a speech made in congress by John Allen of Tupelo, Miss. "You will all recall that after President Harrison sent to congress his message dealing with the trouble United States sailors had in the harbor of Valparaiso," said Mr. Smith, "Chile made ample apology and offered to make other reparation before congress got down to the consideration of the message. While this situation existed Allen got up in the house one day and without reference to the message or the action of Chile, told this story: "Mr. Speaker,' said Allen, 'I am reminded of three men who were working one day on a farm near my town of Tupelo. It began to rain and they all started for the barn. One of them broke into a swift run and never stopped till he got to the barn. When the other two reached the barn they found the runner stretched out on the floor, thoroughly exhausted. "John, what's the sense of running yourself to the point of exhaustion just to get out of the way of a little rain?" said they. "Well,' gasped John, 'I was afraid I wouldn't get here before it stopped raining.'" official, who was more or less of a green hand in Washington, finally said: 'Mr. Cannon, this is Mr. Morse.' "The speaker looked Morse over, without extending his hand, and dryly remarked: "What is your line of business, Mr. Morse?" "I am a member of congress,' replied Morse. "Oh,' replied the speaker, 'I have some Morses down in my district, and I thought you might be related to one of them. I want to say, however, that if La Follette is a Republican, I am a blamed old fogy." "Well, LaFollette is a Republican all right,' replied Morse." Another member of the group reported that he had met Mr. Cannon at the entrance of a hotel in St. Louis, and all he got out of him in the way of recognition was a good-sized grunt. At this juncture, Mr. Murdock of At this juncture, Mr. Murdock of Kansas joined the chorus. "I was riding in a Pullman car with Gov. Shallenberger of Nebraska this summer," said Murdock, "when the speaker came through the train. Mr. Cannon leaned over me and greeted the governor very effusively and they carried on an animated conversation for some little time, throughout which the speaker heartily ignored me. Finally Mr. Cannon bade the governor good-by and departed. Gov. Shallenberger turned to me and said: "You know the speaker, don't you?" anese kind with some softer tongued brand from the south and thus gradually weaken the astringent properties. Much headway has been made in that direction. The Josephine style of American persimmons has been crossed with the Yemon type of Japan. The American flavor won out, while the Japanese hardiness and firmness remained. On the theory that there cannot be too much of a good thing, the Japanese often heat their persimmons with the fumes of sakl, thereby weakening the puckering power. Experiments have been tried by the agricultural department and something may be accomplished along those lines. Just what liquor is being used to graduate the flavor is guarded as a secret. To help things along a new kind of persimmon has been discovered down in Texas. Nobody knows its origin. It just grew up. It does not produce puckering when eaten hard and the taste left in the mouth is equal to that of fully ripened fruit. "How can one be happy who finds it necessary to be identified at the United States postoffice in the capitol of his own state?" and tells of a subsequent experience in New York. He had occupied a box in a theater with a party of friends when one of them thought it would be a joke to have the star direct some observations at Mr. Sherman. The friend sought out the doorman, told him the vice-president of the United States was in box A, and suggested that word be passed back to the stage. "The doorman took kindly to the suggestion," writes Mr. Sherman, "and said. 'Let me see, that is Mr. Fairbanks, is it not?' My friend's efforts to perpetrate a joke then and there ceased, and in the shadow of obscurity I am unhappy." COLD DAY DISHES THREE RECIPES THAT ARE WELL RECOMMENDED. Piloff of Chicken Livers Good for Luncheon or Dinner—Apples and Bacon a Southern Delicacy. Piloff of chicken livers is a delightful dish for luncheon or an entree for dinner. The livers are boiled until tender and put in an oval dish lined with flaky boiled rice. A layer of rice is then put over the top and the mound turned out on the dish in which it is to be served. A rich tomato sauce is poured over the whole, and the dish is garnished with shreds of boiled green peppers and tomato jelly cut in diamond shapes. It is served piping hot with buttered toast. Apples and Bacon.—"It is astonishing how few people in the north know our good southern breakfast dish of bacon and fried apples," said a visitor to Boston from Dixie. "I never see the combination served, and when I suggested it to one excellent housewife she had never heard of it. I taught her how, and she tells me her husband and family clamor for it. "The way I like the dish best is to have the bacon fried nice and crisp, and then if there is much fat left in the pan pour some off. Fat makes the apples greasy and unpalatable. Get the remaining fat hot, and put in the apples, peeled and sliced like Saratoga potatoes. "Fry over a moderate fire till the suet is all gone and the apples are nicely browned. Dust with powdered sugar, serve with the bacon, and then follow the darky's celebrated directions for watermelon." Olive Oil on Chicken.—In cooking broilers all the juice is saved, and much of the flavor otherwise lost is retained by completely brushing over the fowl with olive oil before submitting it to the flames. A soft camel's hair brush should be kept for this special purpose where much poultry is served. Steamed Chicken. Clean and carefully wash in several cold waters a nice fat chicken. Allow all the water to drain out, rub half a teaspoonful of salt on the inside, then stuff with the following: One pint of fresh oysters without their juice, one pint of bread crumbs; butter, size of an egg, cut in small bits; half teaspoonful of black pepper and one leaf of sage crushed and sprinkled over the mixture. Mix all well together and moisten with half cup of the juice taken from the oysters. After stuffing the chicken fix same as for roasting and rub a teaspoonful of salt and as much flour as will stick to it all over the outside, then drop it in a deep kettle in which has been browned and is still sizzling hot a half-cup of butter. Turn the chicken often until well browned, cover tightly and set on back of stove to simmer and steam for two hours in its own juice. To make the gravy chop fine and boll heart, liver and gizzard in three-fourths of a quart of water and pour it into kettle after the chicken has been taken up, thicken and salt and pepper to taste. Bread Sticks and Rolls. One pint scalded milk, quarter cup butter, two tablespoonfuls sugar, one teaspoonful salt, one yeast cake in quarter cup water, white of one egg, flour to make batter. Add salt, sugar and butter to scalded milk. When lukewarm add yeast cake, white of egg well beaten and flour to make batter. Beat thoroughly and let rise an hour, then make up a stiff dough and let it double its bulk in raising. Make into sticks or rolls and let rise again. Start baking sticks in hot oven, and reduce heat that they may be crisp, as freshly baked crackers. Potato Dumplings. Grate six cold boiled white potatoes and mix with them three tablespoonfuls of flour and two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Add one tablespoonful of melted butter, one beaten egg, a little salt, and a sprinkle of nutmeg or paprika. Form into balls, boil in salted water for about ten minutes, and serve with the following sauce: Take one small can of tomato soup, dilute with one-quarter the amount of water, season with salt, pepper, and a tablespoonful of grated cheese. Pour over dumplings and serve hot, hearty enough to eat without meat. To Wash Blankets. For two blankets take three tables-spoonfuls borax, one and one-half bars soap, and three quarts water; dissolve over the fire. Pour into a tub of lukewarm water; leave blankets in this over night. Then rinse in waters of same temperature without any rubbing until the water is clear; hang up without wringing, being careful not to stretch the edges. When partly dry beat with rattan beater to raise the nap. Rinsing. When clothes are ready for rinsing do not take the clear water first and then blue water, but plunge the hot wrung clothes into a blue water direct and again into a final blue water, thereby causing them to undergo a bleaching process which adds much to their whiteness. Egg Help. Add a pinch of cream of tartar to the whites of eggs while whipping. This will prevent them from falling after they are whipped. THE NEW "RIBBON" SANDWICH It Is Easily Made and Especially Appropriate When a Few Friends Drop in for Lunch. An unusually pretty sandwich is of the "ribbon" variety. To make it cut five slices of white bread about half an inch thick, and spread each with softened sweet butter before slicing it from the loaf. Trim off the crust from the slices and shape the latter into squares of even size, about three by three inches. Lay each slice, buttered side up, upon a pastry board. Spread the first one with cream cheese rubbed smooth with minced parsley and cress, the latter previously sprinkled very slightly with lemon juice; cover the next slice with a thin layer of smoked tongue freed from skin and gristle; strew the third with riced voke of a hard egg seasoned with salt, pepper and a bit of dry mustard and put a layer of smoked salmon or of rosy ham on the fourth slice. Pile the slices one upon the other evenly, and in the order mentioned, and top them with the fifth slice laid with the buttered side downward. Wrap carefully in a cheese cloth binder which has been slightly dampened, and weight with a book for an hour or so. When ready to serve, remove the cheese cloth and divide the little brick into thin slices, cutting downward with a keen-edged carving knife. The result will be a square formed of half-inch strips of bread pressed together and crossed by lines of green, red, yellow and pink. A different style of ribbon sandwich is made with a number of slices of brown bread and of white bread piled alternately, each slice previously spread with cream cheese blended with finely minced nuts, and overlaid with a crisp leaf of lettuce. When sliced downward the sandwich shows a pretty medley of brown and white crossed with hairlines of light green — Delineator. SOMETHING NEW IN PUDDING Delicious Dessert Not Too Rich for the Younger Members of the Soak one pint of fine white bread crumbs in one quart of milk for 15 minutes. Beat together until light the yolks of five eggs and one-half pint of sugar, stir in a tablespoonful of softened butter, add just a suspicion of grated rind of lemon, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and a tablespoonful of vanilla. Add these to the milk and bread, mix and add one-half pint of cocoanut. Bake in the pudding dish until the custard is "set" in the middle. While this is baking beat the whites of five eggs to a stiff froth, add five tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, beat until white and fine. When the pudding is done draw it from the oven, cover thickly with coconut, heap over the meringue, dust thickly with powdered sugar, put back in oven until brown. Serve cold. Chicken Saute. Clean and prepare a chicken; cut into pieces; cut a quarter of a pound of bacon in small pieces, put into a saucepan five minutes, add your chicken, turn now and then until brown; pour off the surplus grease, add a gill of white wine. Peel one dozen little onions, brown in a little olive oil; add to chicken a few minutes before serving; add a pinch of pepper, salt and nutmeg, six to twelve mushrooms cut into quarters; remove all floating grease. Serve. Spanish sauce—Melt two ounces butter in a saucepan, add two ounces of flour; stir until colored a nice brown; mix flour and butter thoroughly, add a pint of stock, one and a half ounces of lean, raw ham, a carrot, an onion, a piece of celery, two cloves, a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir until it begins to boil. Remove saucepan to back of range, allow to simmer gently an hour; skim off grease and strain. North Carolina Biscuit. For North Carolina beaten biscuit make a thick dough of flour and milk, with a little shortening, and salt to taste. Then beat the paste vigorously for at least forty minutes. In the old days when there were hours in the day to spare cooks would work the dough for an hour or more. It should be so puffy before it is left that it will blister when it is touched with the finger. Make it into little biscuits and bake. About a level tablespoonful of butter or lard will be needed for a quart of flour. There are implements in the shops for beating the dough. Chicken Panada. Pound well in a mortar the meat from the breast and wings of a chicken that has been boiled; mix it with an equal quantity of fine bread crumbs that have been soaked in milk; add a half pint broth made from the bones of the chicken, put into a small saucepan and simmer for five minutes. Pass through a sieve and serve. This is delicate and nutritious, and is suitable for invalids with weak digestion. Creole Pork Chops. One pound loin pork chops, one-half can tomatoes, four onions, red pepper, salt; fry chops till a golden brown, then pour over them the tomatoes, slice onions over them, season with pepper and salt. Simmer for an hour. Fine Steak. Any kind of steak can be used. Roll it in white flour, then in a beaten egg and then in bread or cracker crumbs. Fry it in hot lard, then salt it and put some pepper on. Then serve. It makes it tender and juicy. Point of View. Senator Beveridge, apropos of the old-fashioned snowy Christmas, said the other day: "Snow, of course, has its disadvantages from some points of view. "‘Snow is beautiful in its season,’ Solomon said that. But I know an old Indianapolis man who, on hearing this remark of Solomon, grumbled: "‘Oh, yes, no doubt it was beautiful to you, sittin' with all the wives and lasses of Jerusalem beside you; but if you'd been a poor stone cutter you'd never have said any such thing.’" A Question to Be Considered. "Do you consider plagiarism permissible under any circumstances?"

It's wonderfully penetrating — goes right to the spot — relieves the soreness — limbers up the joints and makes the muscles elastic and pliant. Here's the Proof. Mr. G, T. Roberts of Resaca, Ga, R.F.D. No. 1, Box 43, writes: — "I have used your Liniment on a horse for sweeney and effected a thorough cure. I also removed a spavin on a mule. This spavin was as large as a guinea egg. In my estimation the best remedy for lameness and soreness is Sloan's Liniment Mr. H. M. Gibbs, of Lawrence, Kans, R.F.D. No. 3, writes:—"Your Lini- ment is the best that I have ever used. I had a mare with an abscess on her neck and one 50c. bottle of Sloan's Lini- ment entirely cured her. I keep it around all the time for galls and small swellings and for everything about the stock." Sloan's Liniiment will kill a spavin, curb or splint, reduce wind puffs and swollen joints, and is a sure and speedy remedy for fistula, sweeney, founder and thrush.

"I suppose," he ventured, "that you would never speak to me again if I were to kiss you?" "Oh, George!" she exclaimed. "Why don't you get over the habit of always looking at the worst side of things?" The only noise some men ever make in the world comes from their exploded theories. "You say you conceal nothing from your wife?" "Absolutely nothing." "And why do you not?" "It is evident that you do not know my wife."

Cultivation of the soil under a climate like ours invariably partakes of the nature of a gamble. The manufacturer, as a rule, can calculate the risks he has to run, and, if he is an adept, avoid them. Not so the farmer. Forces utterly beyond his control may undo the best of his work.—English Country Life. The Oasis of Love The mind's eye shows us love as the oasis in the Sahara of life; so, together, two set out to seek the haves of rest in the great journey. But, at the travelers approach, their paradise recedes; in just such measure as the pilgrims hasten, their Mecca retreats. Love is a witching chimera—life's most beautiful optical delusion. Neurofibrillar In the Home. Unselfishness in the Home. The law of unselfishness must be the essential element of the home spirit. Perfect love casts out selfishness. One selfish soul in the home is not only like an ugly thorn bush in the midst of a garden of flowers, marring the joy, but it destroys the sweetness of the home. Her Disappointment. An Atchison girl believed she had been exposed to smallpox. She got vaccinated, drank vinegar three times a day and took a large dose of formaldehyde, and had her home fumigated. Later, when she learned that it was all a mistake and that she hadn't been exposed, she had a big, long cry. She was disappointed. —Atchison Globe. Our Geographical Center.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM HEAD TO FEET "Four years ago I suffered severely with a terrible eczema, being a mass of sores from head to feet and for six weeks confined to my bed. During that time I suffered continual torture from itching and burning. After being given up by my doctor I was advised to try Cuticura Remedies. After the first bath with Cuticura Soap and application of Cuticura Ointment I enjoyed the first good sleep during my entire illness. I also used Cuticura Resolvent and the treatment was continued for about three weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about the house, entirely cured, and have felt no ill effects since. I would advise any person suffering from any form of skin trouble to try the Cuticura Remedies as I know what they did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning, 1112 Salina St., Watertown, N. Y., Apr. 11, 1909." The Kind Caddie. "Once in a game," said the golfer, "I had the good fortune to be six holes up on my opponent by the time the eighth hole was reached. At the eighth green something went wrong with our reckoning of the strokes and I claimed that I had won that hole, too, while my opponent claimed that it was halved. After a mild dispute I yielded. "But as I moved on with my caddle I couldn't help grumbling: "Well, you know, Joseph, I gave in; but I still think I won that hole after all." "The boy, with 'a frown, turned shocked and reproving eyes on me. Disgusted with my greed for holes, he whispered hurriedly, so that my opponent should not overhear: "Shut up, can't you? Do ye want to break the man's heart?" Why He Got Married. A $900-per-annum clerk in one of Uncle Sam's departments at Washington was recently approached by a coworker, who asked if it were true, as rumor had it, that the $00 person was about to marry. "It is," was the laconic response. "Surely, old man," said the other, with that freedom permitted an intimate friend, "you don't think that your present income would justify you in taking a wife?" "To be perfectly frank," said the other, "I do not." "Then what on earth can be your reason for taking this serious step?" "I have no reason," was the calm response. "I am in love."—Lippincott's Magazine. Harvard Scored. It was the morning of the Yale-Harvard game at Cambridge, and two of the New Haven collegians were wandering through the Harvard yard, looking at the university buildings, Down a walk toward them came youth of serious aspect, but palpably an undergraduate. "I beg your pardon," said the Yale man, who is a bit of a wag, to the stranger, "can you tell me where I can find Harvard university?" "I'm very sorry," said the serious one, with never a smile. "They've locked it up. You see, there are so many Yale men in town." A WOMAN DOCTOR Was Quick to See that Coffee was Doing the Mischief. A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but not so fast as at first. My headaches began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks — long enough to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Since I began to use Postum I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum I never went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as a bell. My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter!

IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEWS. J. R. Gillespie of Evanston, deputy revenue collector for Wyoming, says the high price of butter in Wyoming has trebled the number of dealers in oleomargarine. Jesse H. Tourville, who recently wrote to the common council of London on a method to dispel the fogs by psychic waves, shot himself at St. Louis a few days since while on a downtown business street. He probably will die. W. H. Thompson of Grand Island, Democratic leader and candidate for governor three years ago, has announced his candidacy for the senatorship under the Oregon plan. This will give W. J. Bryan a formidable rival, should Mr. Bryan decide to run. After sixteen years of litigation in State and Federal Courts and the federal land office, a patent has been issued to the Clipper Mining Company, covering thirty-five acres of the downtown section of Leadville, Colo upon which mining for gold and silver will be begun at once. Judge John R. McFie at Santa Fe has appointed Charles C. Murray as receiver of the New Mexico Central Railroad, on application of the Independent Steel and Wire Company. The bond was fixed at $50,000 and immediately given. Murray has been the treasurer of the road for six months. The graders who are building the Burlington roadbed across the state hot springs reserve, near Thermopolis, Wyo., have opened many new flows of hot water, the greater number of them heavily mineralized. So copious are some of the springs that they have interfered with grading, although not seriously. Central Wyoming sheepmen, who faced extermination of their flocks because of the difficulty in getting feed to the starving animals, have succeeded in securing enough grain and hay and great caches of feed have been made on the range. While losses have been staggering, it is not thought that they will be nearly so severe as had been anticipated. That the Colorado & Southern has just finished the best five months' business in the history of the company, according to reports made at the recent meeting of the board of directors in New York. The company feels warranted in authorizing an expenditure of $3,400,000 for improvements during 1910. Of this amount, $400,000 is made available out of the surplus remaining after all dividends of 1909 and 1910 were paid out of the earnings. The Farmers' Unions of Colorado and five other Western states are figuring strongly on building a factory to make woolen goods from Western wool and to retail it from the chain of co-operative stores already established. There are upwards of 200,000 pounds of wool produced annually, the West, and the commercial or izations of the West are consider- ; a proposition to build a warehouse to store the bulk of the product at Denver. GENERAL NEWS. Prize fighting seems to be a flourishing industry. There are said to be fifty boxers in America today where there was only one twenty years ago. According to the United States census tables, based on the present growth, the population of New York city will be 9,000,000 in 1930. Manhattan Island will then have 4,000,000. Nine men and a boy were killed and six other men madly burned by an explosion of gas in the new shaft of the Nottingham colliery of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Company at Plymouth, Pa., on the 11th inst. In a duel with Canadian mounted police south of Moose Jaw, Manitoba, "Dutch" Henry, a notorious cattle rustler, was shot dead. He had been a source of great trouble to the border officials for years. Four employees of the American Sugar Refining Company, convicted of underweighing frauds, have been sentenced to one year's imprisonment each by Judge Martin in the United States Circuit Court in New York. As a result of these frauds, the American Sugar Refining Company reimbursed the government to the extent of more than 2,000,000 for evaded duties. General Wyler's long awaited book entitled "My Rule in Cuba," in which the captain general of Catalonia, it is expected, has made important revelations, is said to be almost ready for the press. The Camp Fire Club of America sent the following telegram to Mr. Pinchot the day after his dismissal from the forestry service: "The Camp Fire Club of America has awarded to you a gold medal of honor for your eminent services in the protection of forests and wild life." Theodore Roosevelt is an honorary member of the club. The royal palace at Tatol, summer residence of the King of Greece, caught fire on the night of the 8th inst., while the royal family was gathered around a Christmas tree. No one was injured, but the right wing of the palace was practically destroyed. Cashier Walters of the Bank of Eltaville, Ga., committed suicide a year and a half ago when accused of robbing the institution of $40,000 in notes and securities. He protested his innocence when charged with the crime. A few days since the money and securities were found concealed in the boxing about the court house by citizens who came upon them by accident. Early in the morning of the 10th inst. the New York Military Academy at Cornwall, N. Y., was destroyed by fire, the principal buildings being burned. The bugle was sounded and the cadets with military precision marched out, most of them in pajamas and bath robes. They lost all their personal effects. There were about 150 students in the academy. The buildings destroyed were valued at about $100,000. The academy has educated young men for West Point for forty years. Boston on the 11th inst., in the first partless election held under a new charter, elected former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald to fill the mayor's chair again, this time for a four-year term, giving him 46,968 votes and a plurality of 1,223 over his nearest opponent, James J. Storrow, banker, former president of the chamber of commerce and former chairman of the school board. The most remarkable feature of the election to many was the small vote of 1,783 given to the present mayor, George A. Hibbard, who received 38,000 votes two years ago, being elected on a "reform" ticket over Fitzgerald. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Representative Martin has introduced a bill to appropriate $5,000 to help defray expenses of the world's congress for the deaf to be held at Colorado Springs in August, 1910. Representative Rucker of Colorado has introduced a bill to promote Captain James Moynahan of Fairplay to the rank of major on the retired list of the army. It is announced that the census enumerators in the sparsely settled sections of the West and Southwest will be compensated on a per diem basis instead of per capita, the rate of pay ranging from $5 to $6 per day. Wyoming has been allotted four appointments of clerks in the census bureau and has five applicants who successfully passed the examination. All of the Wyoming applicants are women. A pension of $5,000 a year is due Mrs. Grover Cleveland, according to precedent, and Senator Root has presented to the senate a bill making the grant. The amount is the same as was allowed to the widowed wfives of former presidents. Senator Warren presented resolutions adopted by the National Irrigation Congress favoring the augmentation of the reclamation fund, and of the Sheridan, Wyo., Chamber of Commerce, favoring opening the Crow reservation to settlement. With the Democrats fighting every inch of the way, the Mann bill, providing for the administration of the Panama Canal zone and centralizing the government thereof in the President of the United States, passed the House by a vote of 119 to 102. The vote was along strict party lines. The United States Supreme Court has handed down a decision sustaining the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate the distribution of railroad cars among coal companies. The decision is regarded by the government as most important and it is expected to have bearing on the rate cases still to be heard by the court. Gifford Pinchot, forester and intimate friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was dismissed on the 7th inst. from the service of the United States by President Taft for insubordination. Associate Forester Overton W. Price and Assistant Law Officer Alexander C. Shaw, Pinchot's immediate assistants in the forestry bureau, followed their chief out of the government employ. The coming fourth Pan-American conference, in Buenos Ayres in July, is occupying the attention of officials of the state department and others interested in the meeting. The United States committee has elected Maj. Gen. George W. Davis, United States army retired, as one of its members, and appointed a committee to urge upon Congress the necessity for an appropriation for the proper participation of the United States. An echo of the mysterious robbery of the sub-treasury at Chicago in 1907 was heard in the Senate a few days since when a bill was passed providing for the crediting of $173,000 to the accounts of William Boldenweck, the assistant United States treasurer. One hundred and seventy-three one-thousand-dollar bills mysteriously disappeared from the sub-treasury and no trace of them was ever found. Boldenweck was long ago absolved from all blame. The passing of the historic fourth of March as a presidential inauguration date and the fixing of the fourth Thursday of April in its place is provided for in a resolution ordered favorably reported by the House committee on the judiciary. The department of Agriculture is making a fight against bleached flour. Its use is not defended by the bakers, but by the manufacturers of bleaching machinery, who are said to have raised a fund of $100,000 to defeat the government's contention as regards its injurious effects.

If you did not make a good resolution on New Years day, that fact need not necessarily restrain you from making one on any of the other three hundred and sixty-four days of the year. We go wrong in too many ways to hope to correct ourselves by a single resolution. It is a good idea to look yourself over on the first day of every week and map out a course to follow for seven days. The man who does this resolutely will have no need to swear off on New Year's day. The man who fails to do so might as well carve his New Year resolutions on an ice tablet and wait for it to thaw.

The present crop of them is so large that it is impossible to calculate the degree of danger which they will inflict upon an unthinking public, but regular and constant development proves that they are a lot of thought-breakers and custom annihilators who claim the right to smash things in order to prove that those things are not what they seem, or to prove that things unthought of are the real things after all. Speculators in theories, with restless brains and keen imaginations, they dig up truths and fallacies in discriminate mass and dump them upon the heads of unsuspecting humanity. If their theories prove to be right, they do the world a distinct benefit, but if their theories are based upon an error, they lead the world through experimental quagmires wherein a great many people suffer and perish. Just now certain scientific gentlemen are engaged in an effort to prove that the white and black Americans are a constant menace to each other in the dissemination of diseases peculiar to each in his original and native heath, and strangely vital to each in their exchanged forms. Every race has certain diseases peculiar to itself, they argue, against which, in time, they become partially immune, but which, when communicated to other races, proves a scourge. The black man suffers under and succeeds to the white man's diseases brought from Europe, and the white man is fatally plagued by the diseases of the black men brought from the jungles of Africa. The interchange of these diseases means the final practical obliteration of one race or the other, through the natural rule of the survival of the fittest. This means that while the hook-worm is perforating the white man's intestines, consumption will waste the black man to an inconsiderable frazzle. But sanitation will help both victims and delay the end. It seems to us, however, that all human diseases are primarily peculiar to localities and climates. Disease germs are largely suppressed by a radical change of climate, and the belief that the American black man is still harboring diseases of African origin, after hundreds of years of absence from their natural environment, is purely imaginary. In their earlier contact the two races showed no signs of absorbing each other's diseases. Only at this late day, when the races are practically separate, or in very restricted intercourse, has this theory sprung up. The interchange of disease between races of long contact is largely imaginary. The suspected microbe is probably to the manor born. A SIDE ISSUE ion of public policy cannot be reduced particular element of the people. Road questions of universal applica tion in the very same manner, and it to their respective property holding price of meat is of greater interest question of how many colored men the cost of water comes under the sourse, if the matter of meat supply we people to decide whether it should Every question of public policy cannot be reduced to one of special application to a particular element of the people. The water question is one of those broad questions of universal application, primarily affecting every citizen in the very same manner, and in degrees differing only according to their respective property holdings or their living conditions. The price of meat is of greater interest to every colored man than is the question of how many colored men are employed by the beef trust. The cost of water comes under the same line of reasoning. But, of course, if the matter of meat supply were to be submitted to a vote of the people to decide whether it should be a private or a public utility, the matter of employment might creep in as a very obscure side issue with the question of cheapest and best supply always uppermost. So with the water question. The saving to the entire population is too big a matter to be obscured by a side issue involving only the possible salaries of a few individuals. Yet the latter phase will be injected into the discussion of the water question by persons who are slow to realize the scope of the larger and greater interests involved, but even that phase of the question will not be avoided by those who believe that present conditions are better than they would be under an attempt of the city to acquire ownership of the water plant. If our present ratio of employment in all of the departments of the city government is a fair and reasonable basis for comparison, we could not expect more than a half dozen additional colored employees if the city owned the water plant, and their aggregate salaries would be no more than a drop in the bucket compared with the sum which would be added to our present taxes and expenses to pay for the experiment. But the Denver Union Water Company employs numbers of colored men outside of its clerical force, the non-political and ordinarily private nature of whose employment attracts no attention and is given no consideration as a public benefaction and obligation upon the people of their class. Their employment carries no obligation such as political employment carries, and is far more permanent and certain. Political employment of every nature is always uncertain and insecure, especially in the cases of colored employees. It calls for constant obligation, attention and repayment in votes on the part of the whole element of people represented, and it is an unavoidable source of struggle and strife, engendering animosities and disappointments which are poorly repaid by the individual benefits derived. In the fundamental range of government this political strife is necessary, but the argument that a great private source of service would benefit any particular class more if made public and political, when, in either case, the people have to foot all the bills of expense, is an argument which carries the follower a long way from the main question and from the truth. HERE are comparatively few people, men or women, who do not take a more or less lively interest in the love affairs of their neighbors. As Emerson says: "The strong bent of nature is seen in the proportion which the topic of love usurps in the conversation of society. What do we wish to know of any worthy person so much as how he has sped in the history of this sentiment? And what fastens attention in the intercourse of life like any passage betraying affection between two parties?" Wherefore it is only natural that match making should possess an irresistible attraction for most women and for many men. Old people would like to see the young friends in whose welfare they feel a warm interest well settled in life and they are convinced fully that, with their superior experience and knowledge of the world, they can judge which of them are best fitted to make each other happy. Still more anxious are newly wedded couples that all their unmarried friends and relatives, in whom they are specially interested, should follow their example and enter into the holy state of matrimony. Nor, in the least, is this, as misogamists assert, on the same principle that Esop's fox, having lost his tail, advised his friends to dispense with theirs. They really are actuated by the purest motives. Angelina, finding Edwin all and more than her fancy had painted him, wishes that her dearest friend shall be, not as happy as she herself is (that is not to be hoped for, since the like of Edwin is not to be found), but as nearly so as can be attained. Edwin, who in his own opinion is the most fortunate of men in his choice of a wife, does his utmost to persuade his best chum to take to wife the next best and sweetest of women as speedily as possible. When a third person undertakes to introduce a couple where even a one sided fancy is supposed to exist, it is the part of discretion to be silent regarding such a supposition. In such case, even though "speech is silver, silence is golden." The more matter-of-course and natural the introduction can be made to seem, the more likely are the two concerned to appear at their best. However much it may gratify a man's vanity to think that he has made a conquest without effort, he dislikes being pursued and is inclined to avoid the woman who he imagines is trying to catch him. Snares must be hidden; "surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird;" and tact and finesse are requisite if one would further a love affair. The first years of life should mainly be occupied by moral and physical training and during this period the amount of mental cultivation which a child's brain is capable of receiving with permanent advantage is much less than is commonly believed. No greater mistake is possible than the attempt to give any considerable degree of mental culture until there has been sufficient development of the physical stamina and moral faculties. The organ of the mind is as much a part of the body as the hand and before either can function properly its vital force must be developed and maintained by nutrition. A large proportion of those who must come within the provisions of a compulsory law in most large cities are ill fed children of the poorer classes and these ill fed children are debilitated by privation and are necessarily as much incapacitated for any mental strain as they are for the accomplishment of any feat of physical strength. If, therefore, the state, for reasons of public policy, determines that all children shall be educated under compulsion from their earliest years, the state should afford the means by which this plan may be carried out with the least possible injury and the greatest possible good, by providing sufficient food as well as education for every child compelled to attend school. A great many children at too early an age are compelled to attend some school where the immature brain is forced into abnormal and disastrous activity. as rapidly as possible. The best plan in cold weather is to wear cotton, or linen, if you can afford it, next the skin, with wool outer clothing. The wool excludes moisture and cold, while the cotton absorbs the perspiration quickly and dries even more quickly, and this without chilling the body if the latter have an outer covering of wool. In this climate especially, where houses and offices are generally overheated in winter, and where, consequently, the transition from indoors to outdoors is attended by a far greater change in temperature than in milder climates, where the houses are not kept as hot as in America, it is better to wear cotton or linen underclothes and to rely upon heavy outer garments to resist the cold of the wintry air.

We are all, of course, agreed as to the duty of educating the young so as to fit them for the increasing requirements and competition of modern life. But as to the extent to which this should be carried in early childhood there is, unfortunately, a great discrepancy between educators and those who as physicians have to deal in disease with the consequences of the violation of nature's laws. The officialism of the former is often supreme over medical experience. But when children are overworked into disease or death the physician must raise his protesting voice. he should mainly be occu- pant this period the amount capable of receiving with only believed.

Wool has its fanatics, to whom discarding their flannel or merino vest or drawers would seem like risking their lives. But the opinion of physicians has changed notably in recent years and now many if not most of them favor cotton or linen next to the skin. The reason is that wool absorbs perspiration and retains it; it absorbs it with difficulty at first, but surrenders it to the surrounding air with even greater difficulty. Cotton, on the other hand, asks only an opportunity to dry, which is does The best plan in cold wi it, next the skin, with and cold, while the cotton more quickly, and this wi ever covering of wool.

BOULDER NEWS Telephone—Champa 1231 HOW DOE SAVED HER FAWN Instance of Wonderful Maternal Intelligence Told by a French Writer and Traveler. The following anecdote is related by M. X. Raspail. It is worthy of comparison with the most remarkable of instances of the same kind: The author one day perceived a dog in full flight before two dogs in the Alge woods that form a part of the forest of Chantilly. The doe was accompanied by a very young fawn which appeared quite exhausted and ready to drop. The mother, doubtless well aware of this, slackened her pace and presently stopped close to some thick bramble bushes. She remained some time there with lowered head as if awaiting the onset of her pursuers. Suddenly an idea seemed to strike her, and with a butt of the head she tossed her fawn right into the middle of the thicket. Then first advancing gently as if to make sure it was well hidden, she soon set off by rapid bounds in front of the dogs. The latter barking close upon her heels, she made a sudden bound and thus drew them far from the spot where this incident occurred. The howling of the dogs became fainter and fainter, the valiant animal having doubtless led them two kilometers away into the Canarddiere peat bogs, where the dogs often lose the scent. In fact later they were seen returning to the village in an exhausted condition, while the intelligent mother doubtless returned to the bushes to find the little fawn she had so cleverly hidden and placed in safety. A Difference in Garters. She was on her way down the subway steps. At the foot stooped a young man whose garter had slipped from some mysterious mooring. He had calmly pulled up his trousers a foot or so and was adjusting the elastic. He did it as a matter of course and nobody even glanced at him. "Now, just suppose I did that," murmured the young woman to herself in passing. "Oh, my!"—New York Press.

FORT WORTH NEXT YEAR PRESIDENT JASTRO RE-ELECTED AND ROOSEVELT INVITED TO RETURN THIS WAY. Denver. — By a vote practically unanimous, the delegates to the convention of the American National Live Stock Association at their final session Thursday indorsed the conservation policy advocated by ex-President Theodore Roosevelt and carried out by former Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot. By acclamation, H. A. Jastro, Bakersfield, Cal., was re-elected as president of the association for 1910, Murdo Mackenzie, Trinidad, Colo., was elected first vice president, and Joseph M. Carey, Cheyenne, Wyo., second vice president. At a meeting of the executive committee John W. Springer, Denver, was chosen treasurer for the coming year; T. W. Tomlinson, Denver, secretary, and Sam H. Cowan, Fort Worth, Texas, attorney. Alvin H. Sanders, Chicago, was made chairman of the standing committee on foreign and home markets, to take the place of Senator W. A. Harris, Lawrence, Kan., deceased, and Col. like T. Pryor, San Antonio, Texas, was made chairman of the committee on transportation, replacing M. K. Parsons, Salt Lake City, resigned. The association will hold its next convention in Fort Worth, Texas. The resolution indorsing the conservation policy outlined by Roosevelt, praising Pinchot for his administration of the forest reserves, and congratulating President Taft on his promises to carry the policies on through his term of office, was the first portion of the report read by the resolutions committee. Its principal opponent was State Senator E. M. Ammons of Colorado. The resolution, when put to vote, was carried with a cheer. A tariff resolution was passed, as follows: "Resolved, By the American National Live Stock Association, at Denver, Colo., January 11, 12 and 13, 1910, that we express our disapproval of the new tariff law because of its unfair discriminations in favor of the Eastern manufacturing interests and against the producers and consumers of both the East and West. "Resolved, Further, That we recommend the creation by act of Congress of a permanent non-partisan tariff commission and a further revision of the present tariff at the earliest practicable time along equitable and scientific lines." Members of the United States Senate and House who have labored for legislation in the interest of the live stock industry were thanked. Another resolution was passed in which the association joined in the movement to invite Theodore Roosevelt to return from Africa by way of the Pacific Coast in order that the people of the West may have a chance to show him the esteem in which he is held in this part of the country. One of the final actions of the convention was the annual subscription to raise funds for current expenses. When the voluntary contributions were added up they totaled $7,225. Members of the executive committee for 1910 were announced. Those for Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico are: Wyoming—William Dawson, A. R. Reader, J. C. Underwood, Luke Vorhees, P. J. Sheehan, C. N.

St. Louis.—In a copyrighted story the Post Dispatch publishes what it claims was the confession of Ray Lamphere, who died a few days ago in the Indiana penitentiary, while serving sentence for setting fire to the home of Mrs. Belle Gunness, near Laporte, Ind. The confession shows that Mrs. Gunness and three children were chloroformed by Lamphere, who was robbed the house with a woman accomplice; that Jennie Olson was not killed by Mrs. Gunness; that the chloroform used by Lamphere was part of that he bought for Mrs. Gunness to kill three men, one of whom was Andrew Helgelein, the others probably Ole Budsburg and Tonnes Petersen Lien, and that one of these men, probably Lien, was the third husband of Mrs. Gunness. The confession, according to the paper, was given out by a man of unassailable character and truthfulness. Los Angeles, Calif.—Thursday Curtiss failed in his attempt to lower his three-lap record.

What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford Pomade makes stubborn hair, binky or curly hair more manageable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep a hair in satisfactory condition and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade Her Husbands. It is said that before a man has discovered the color of a girl's eyes she is planning her trousseau and leading him to the altar—but The bachelor girls' destination necessitated their going through Woodlawn cemetery, in New York, a portion of the city they had never before visited. They stopped for a long time on the bridge which crosses the lake to admire the wonderfully well-kept banks, which slope down to the edge of the lake, with here and there some artistically arranged shrubbery serving as a background. As they cast a last look at the island, situated at one end of the lake, which is so tiny that one wonders how the large willow tree standing at the water's edge with its drooping branches hanging so low that they sweep backward and forward in the water with the wind, could possibly have grown there, one of the bachelor girls was heard to remark to her companion: "Wouldn't this be an ideal place to bury one's husbands and come and weep over their graves?" --- S&H CARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST.

Rea hacaRaa: During a recent slight illness the five-year-old Teddy, usually so amiable, flatly and obstinately refused to take his medicine. After a somewhat pro- longed and ineffectual argument with him, his mother at last set the glass of medicine down, leaned her head on her hands and “played” that she was crying. ‘A moment passed, and the tender- hearted Teddy, unable longer to bear the sight of his mother’s stricken atti- tude, inquired, “What's the matter, mother, dear?” Without removing her hands from her eyes, she replied: “I'm grieved that my son won't take his castor oll for me.” Whereupon Teddy sat up in bed and offered consolingly: “Oh, I wouldn't feel badly if I were you, mother, dear. Father will be home soon and he'll make me take {t.”"—The Delineator.

INTERESTING EVENTS OF THE GREAT NATIONAL WESTERN STOCK SHOW. Denver.—Shorthorn cattle and big Percheron horses were on exhibition in the green arena at the stock show ‘Tuesday. ‘The equines on one side and the bovines on the other of the judges’ stand in the enclosure, visit: ors at the exposition had no wait in their effort to see the choice thor- oughbreds displayed. All day the judges were at their work of passing ‘on the merits of the animals offered as bidders for the blue ribbon. Great black, large-boned, active horses were in competition with dapple-grays of similar size. Back and forth from one end of the arena to the other they were led, dashing, prancing, kicking and snorting, all to the delight of the crowds in the stand. On the other side were bawling, obstinate bulls from all corners of America, bidding for the highest honors. ‘The judging of the horses was the chief attraction. The activity of the animals and their general carrying qualities appealed to the visitors far more than the slow, balky disposition of the bulls on the other side of the ring. And the horses were gaily be- decked, while the bulls were not. ‘Trailing in the horses’ manes, inter- woven in their tails, attached to bands which girded them, were myriad-col- ored blossoms, which waved as the animals galloped. ‘The first class of Percherons capti- vated the audience. It was the three- year-olds and twenty-five bulky, silken- coated bidders were led dashing in the ring. But of the entries, it was evident, even to the unsophisticated, that there was one of real merit. That was Champion, from the Zang stud, and it took the judges but a few min- utes to realize his superior points. ‘The big fellow stands eighteen hands high, weighs 2,100 pounds, and meas- ures 100 inches around the girth. Rob- ert Ogilvie, owned by Burgess & Son, took second; third prize went to Cartl- lage, entered by H.»G. McMillan & Sons, of Rock Rapids, Towa. But there were centers of interest other than the amphitheatre. Down in the stockyards, there was a con- stant throng coursing here and there viewing the stock. There was the regular weekly horse auction by a ‘commission company which attracted a large crowd, and in the yards proper every pen was filled with fine cattle. But all these attractions were for- gotten by the Hereford breeders. They were attending the annual auction sale of thoroughbred Herefords in the small pavilion at the yards. Profit in Raising Mules. Denver.—The successful raising ot Routt county mules has engaged the attention of Earl Wilkins, manager of the Dawson rancb, five miles east of Hayden, for the past five years. Wil- kins is in Denver attending the stock show, and incidentally to ascertain the best market price of mules. “I have 180 of the finest mules in the country on my ranch,” said Mr. Wil- kins, They will average sixteen hands high, and I believe they are worth in the aggregate $45,000. They cost me to raise about $60 each, and the profit speaks for itself. Some of my mules are in use in the Oak Creek mines, but I believe that is too hard work for good mules like mine.” Several of Wilkins’ neighbors are contemplating goitg into the mule raising business in Routt county. J. B, Dawson, Wilkins’ father-in-law, is said to have had the first herd of cat- tle on the site of Denver, fifty years ago. Poultry Show at Denver. Denver.—The annual show of the Colorado State Poultry Fanciers’ As- sociation will be held in this city Jan- uary 17th. A year ago this association was reorganized and incorporated and men put at the head who are giving their time and money to make the an- nual poultry show one of the biggest shows of the year, and while they do not hope to do this all in one year, the coming show is assuming propor- tions which they hardly hoped to at- tain in a single year, Handsome silver cups and cash premiums to the value of $2,000 are offered for competition. Besides these, many special premiums are offered by yarious breeders and others interest: ed in this industry. Material is being distributed along the narrow gauge line between Mon- trose and Salida preparatory to mak- ing the track standard gauge. A meeting has been called at Pu eblo for January 20th for the organi- zation of the Colorado State Baseball League.

Hints For Hostess for Those Planning Seasonable Entertainments Wooden Wedding Suggestions. A request comes for suggestions for a wooden wedding, which is the fifth anniversary. The invitations may be written or printed upon birch bark, or on imitation wood paper, giving the date of original wedding and the day and date of proposed celebration. For a table centerpiece a large canoe of birch bark would be charming filled with violets or other small flowers; smaller canoes could be used to hold salted nuts and as place cards, too, with the guest's name written on the side in fancy lettering. A wooden chopping bowl, filled with fruit and flowers, could be utilized as a centerpiece if the canoe is not obtainable. Little wooden dishes that come for dolls make fine individual nut or bonbon holders. Place cards may also be made from squares of birch bark. If a carpenter is accessible get him to make some nice long curly shavings to use as festoons about the rooms. For amusement, try a nail-pounding contest for the girls and a whittling contest for the men, or let all dress dolls made from clothespins. Fill a small tub with sawdust and make a "pie" out of which the guests may draw tiny wooden boxes filled with wedding cake. One of the "stunts" at a wooden wedding celebration was to gather the guests in one room in two long lines. Lights were extinguished and wooden articles in common, everyday use were passed from hand to hand down the line. After each one had held and felt of all the articles, the lights were turned on, and the one writing out the most complete list from memory received a prize. This unique affair was arranged for a bride, and was a decided success. The outside cover of the little booklet handed to the guests was decorated with a white pearl button and a needle and thread, the emblems of domesticity. Below in letters of gold were proverbs relating to woman in the home, such as "She looketh well to the ways of her household;" "A faithful wife is a joy to her husband," etc. The questions were answered by the names of characters famous in history and fiction: What faithful wife set herself a neverending task of weaving while her husband was away at war? Penelope. What couple in childhood's best-loved book can do to record diet? Jack Spratt, and wife What well known literary couple were never separated for a day during their married life? The Brownings. What character in Dickens was eternally hopeful, while his wife was eternally faithful? Micawber. What man in the Bible lost his wife through his marriage back? Lot. Women. Women's wife, was above sus What Roman's wife was above susi- plon? Caesar's. pctchon 'Caesar's.' fee he was noted for her shrew- ness? 'Xantippe. A young girl who was to marry a man not blessed with a great store of this world's goods was the recipient of this novel and acceptable shower. The girls, 12 in number, contributed the price of a dozen spoons. Each one was done separately in tissue pa- arty Dresses Party Party Dresses Three dainty little dresses are shown here that can well be made up at home with little cost. The first is in pale blue soft satin and chiffon. The empire bodice is covered with puffed chiffon in front; the back is of satin plain. The zouave fronts edged with lace, are connected in front under a rosette. The zouave and upper part of sleeves are braided with narrow Russian braid. The skirt is gathered to the bodice.

A Spoon Shower. per and put in a lovely pie made in shape of a wedding bell; a white satin ribbon ran to each place. When the bride pulled her ribbon a spoon bearing this jingle was forthcoming: The rest of the girls each drew a spoon, and exclaimed as they just matched the one drawn by the bride-elect that they must all go to her. The refreshments were a little out of the ordinary, so I'll tell about them. First, shrimp salad served in heart-shaped cases, with coffee and nut sandwiches mixed with mayonnaise dressing. Then a delicious tutti-fruitti in bell-shaped molds. After-Dinner Tricks: A stunt which is new and amusing and never fails to make fun, is a trick in balancing. Have the one who tries the thing, measure exactly three times the length of his own foot out from the wall of the room, then stand with heels together facing the wall, then stoop forward until the top of his head touches the wall. Then place a light stool or tabouret, about 20 inches in height, between him and the wall. The trick is to hold the tabouret off the floor and at the same time lift the head from the wall. A woman generally succeeds in doing this with comparative ease, but for some reason the trick is not so easy for a man. So ask a woman to do it first, then it is very funny to see the man fail. A. Measuring Contest. Ask the guests to state what they think is the height of a man's silk hat by indicating on the wall the height. Take a record of each guess, then bring in a hat and see how far short most of the guesses are. A hat box candy box may be awarded for a prize to the one who comes the nearest. MADAME MERRI. FANCIES OF FASHION Silk blouses are severe. The sleeves are flat, with little or no fullness. Flat jet ornaments, as well as those of metal, are frequently used as trimming. The vogue for gilt is now at its height and silver trimming is also in demand. Tasseled ornaments and fringe vie with each other for chief favor in trimming. Except when the brim is turned over in front, very little of the hair is shown. Some of the new bracelets encircle the wrist and end in a tiny jeweled bowknot. Coats are a bit closer than the half fitting ones of the past season and skirts are usually plaited. A fetching suit was of canard blue homespun, with the jacket, sleeves and hem outlined with a fine band of skunk fur—which, by the way, is the leading fur of the season for every day wear. on a lining and is finished at the top by a shaped band that is braided; the yoke is of piece lace. The skirt is set in plains and piped to the bodice. Materials required: Five yards velveten 24 inches wide. For the other dress a soft spotted silk in white is used; it is a princess with flouces at edge which is headed by a crosswise strip of silk, gathered at each edge with narrow outstanding frill; the same trimming forms a point on the bodice back and front, the space being filled in with gauged chiffon. Materials required: Six yards silk 22 inches wide.
