LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY ABRAHAM LINCOLN Was the Subject of an Address Delivered in New York on the 15 inst. by Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury. What his Emancipation Proclamation means for the Negro Rrce. VOL. XVI. ABRAH Was the Subject of an Address the 15 inst. by Hon. W. Treasury. What his En means for th Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, spoke at Mount Olivet Baptist Chuch in New York City on the evening of February 15th, his subject being "Abraham Lincoln." The meeting was presided over by ex-Judge Clinch of the Supreme Court. There was an audience of about 2,000 people—one of the largest ever gathered in New York City. On the platform were seated Drs. Brooks and Gilbert, leading pastors; Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Counselors Wetmore, Curtis, E. A. Johnson, Cowen and other distinguished gentlemen. Mr. Vernon said in part: "This most remarkable man, Abraham Lincoln, whom the world delights to honor as the embodiment of true Americanism and the principles for which America stands, is one whose life can be explained as but one of the ways of an inscrutable Providence to do His ordained work. The poverty, the tragedy, the suffering, the mighty silence of this good and just man, the story of his life, strangely peculiar, are an inspiration and teach us a lesson of patience, of purification by fire, of final triumph secure above all storm. What American youth today—what child of poverty in all the world—begins more humbly in childhood? He did not have paper, pencil nor slate, but he crawled to the fireplace at night, sharpened the dead embers, wiped off the back of a shovel with his sleeve and with charcoal began working out the sums that were but the humble beginnings of the teachings of his afterwards most remarkable mind. Before Lincoln came the upward struggle of the civilized world had brought those characters, heroic and noble, who won only a partial victory because of man's enslavement of his fellow man. This government of ours, prophesied as the salvator of human hopes, could not fulfill its mission while chained alive to its body of death—human slavery. The ultra-conservative, timid and non-progressive, the ultra-radical, heroic but impractical, were each alike failing to bring to America the new birth of freedom for which Lincoln struggled and died. It remained for this prophet, who came from the wilderness, to go to classic New England with the doctrine of America's redemption and, in his Cooper Institute speech, to give heart and cheer to the lovers of liberty and free government throughout the world, in these remarkable words: "Neither let us be slandered --- from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the government; nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it." These words became the shibbo-leth of all the elements struggling to make America truly free. There came the Kansas and Nebraska bill, the transference of the struggle to the western prairie, where pioneer lived in sod house and with his trusty rifle battled with the forces of the wilderness and contended with those who would have the clanking of slavery's chains heard on the soil in which the pioneer hoped to build a free state for himself and those who would come after him. There went west that forceful crusader, and here John Brown, who projected himself into the struggle that attracted national attention, caught the spirit that swept the air. John Brown became Kansas incarnate, and at Harper's Ferry did that which ripened for the advent of Abraham Lincoln. The contending forces could no longer remain apart, and the world sees the greatest internecine struggle man has ever known. The powers contending for absolutism, despotism and monarchy in every quarter of the globe, looked on with satisfaction as they saw apparently the doctrine of self-government destined to failure. Then it was as in all ages the one man to make the triumph of righteousness come forth. This man was Abraham Lincoln. This wise, patient man was truly ordained for the work. He came unheralded, out of the night, and in a day pregnant with Titanic things, changing and epoch-making, was equal to every emergency. As the sun went down on his life that day it closed on one the story of whom is stranger than fiction. Whether as lawmaker, statesman, emancipator or man, or all combined, Mr. Lincoln stands alone—the unapproachable. He stood for that which was right and best. He stood for equality before the law. He stood for Liberty. He stood for humanity. His emancipation proclamation means little to us unless we are embracing every opportunity for development and progress. In proportion as we shall educate the youth of the race, accumulate reality holdings, make ourselves worthy and indispensable elements in the body politic, will we prove that Lincoln's emancipation was not in vain, and give heart and cheer DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Th ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER. COLORADO, to the friends of another generation rapidly passing, and to those who will be raised up in the days that are to come, with each man doing his duty as best he can, the work of Lincoln will not die.' The influence of Lincoln's work is felt in the great movement for governmental reform and human uplift, not alone in this country but throughout the civilized world. Freedom for all was the salvation of this country and although a new pronouncement in the history of the world, it stood the test successfully, and human rights are more sacred and will so remain throughout all time. Liberty, fraternity, equality and law, the four pillars of the temple, were rocking. It remained for Lincoln to put his hand to the temple and steady it, or, rather as the ship of state rode the boisterous waves that threatened destruction, this great man, like some mighty mariner, stood on the bridge and, steering past breakers as the world cried out to know the fate of its fondest hope, free government, he answered. "All is well." Lincoln's great wisdom was always in evidence. He could detect the false and the true. This farseeing, shrewd, untutored man, who by his own efforts had made himself the wisest of his time, met every issue, faced every crisis and brought freedom to American white men, as well as freedom to the slave. The thongs that bound the Negro were no more galling than the fetters that bound the oppressor's soul, for truly: "The law of changeless justice bind Opressor with oppressed. Among the problems he had to solve were these: The failings and bickerings of general officers in the field; the raising of moneys going out by millions daily; the fickleness of public opinion, shifting and changing with the varying successes of the Union army. The constant opposition of the anti-war or "peace-at-any-price" party in the North; holding the neutrality of the border states and suppressing foreign war which frequently threatened during the long, desperate struggle for maintenance of the Union. These things demand just such wisdom as only Lincoln possessed. He was the burden-bearer of the Great Republic. Yet out of it all he comes irradiated, standing alone on a height unapproached and unapproachable. The mercy of Lincoln finds its counterpart only in the divine. Thus reads the closing appeal of his first inaugural, when he said: "The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot's grave to every heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." Throughout his life he exhibited the spirit of the divine Christ rather than that of the "eye for an eye" and "a tooth for a tooth." This day and until remotest time men will forever laud and undertake to explain whence came the marvelous words of Lincoln's Gettysburg address. Who can but read it and not feel that he should have a deeper reverence for the heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion, and does not dedicate anew his life to the task of making greater our common country. This can only be done by inculcating into the warp and woof of our lives the noble aspirations and lofty sentiments set forth in his great life. Our duty toward fellow man and all humanity can be best exhibited by living daily those lives of honor and supreme usefulness—lives of service, the beneficent influence of which shall never pass away. The emancipation proclamation was a command in substance to the effect that those who held the slaves in living death should loose and let them go. At Lincoln's call a million men came forth to save a nation. Many of them sleep in unknown graves, and we, the beneficiaries of all this sacrifice, must daily prove it not to have been in vain. The 4,000,000 freedmen are today 10,000,000 of American citizens with over 30,000 school teachers, men and women, engaged in many professions, skilled in the arts and trades, and paying taxes on $800,000,000 worth of property; hopeful and aspiring, pressing forward to greater things. For nearly 300 years we have sung the sorrow songs. We shall yet sing the songs of rejoicings and triumph. There is no circumstance that can forever retard that one who deserves to succeed. All we ask and expect is that no opportunity to rise shall be denied us, and that merit and worth alone shall tell. As the years shall pass the memory of Lincoln will grow brighter, and the influence of his work be more uplifting throughout the earth. We do well when we do our best, for thus we prove our gratitude to him and to those who, under his leadership, by their sacrifices, made this day possible. Current Events. With people, as in nature, changes go on about us without attracting very serious attention until the changed condition is upon us. Among our people a great change is gradually coming. And it is coming so quietly and unconsciously that we hardly note it. The peculiar conditions existing, and immediately following the emancipation of the Negro thrust him into politics. His ideal men were the great statesmen who were pleading his cause at the bar of public opinion. Stories of their work and the stirring incidents of reconstruction developed the abnormal Negro politician. The Negro leader of any locality was the one who "influenced" his people and convinced the political leaders and candidates that his vest pocket was bulging with the suffrage of his people ready for delivery at the appointed time. But when a quiet, unassuming Negro is hauled across the country to tell a gathering of Negroes on finance, it looks very much as though a new leader was being developed for our people. Charles Banks, cashier of a Negro bank at Mound Bayou, Miss., and one of the best posted men of our race on finance and baning, was recently the guest of the business men of Washington, D. C. As a result of the well defined movement, growing out of the National Negro Business Men's League, and the various state organizations, a strong sentiment favorable to greater commercial development among our people is noticeable. Throughout the South the increase of banking houses and other business houses, is a part of the report of every year. The spirit is spreading to the North and now sentiment in St. Louis, Kansas City and other cities having large Negro populations, is favorable to the establishment of banking houses and a stronger boost for colored men in business. Nothing does so much in the racial uplift that sound banking houses, enjoying the confidence and esteem of the people. The Mississippi Morgan is not alone in this changed condition. Around him are a score of brilliant men who are doing something in the commercial development of the race. Let this condition come and let us help as much as possible. We can do this by developing the saving habit and giving every possible encouragement to legitimate Negro enterprises. MOBS AGAIN. Telegraphic reports tell us that down in Illinois they are again having trouble with the great American mob. This time the sheriff met the mob with a well directed volley from heavily loaded shotguns, with the result that the lawless element faded away, to gather again in the distance and mutter threats. The action of the sheriff in protecting his prisoners as well as public property from the wanton fury of the mob will no doubt meet the approval of all right thinking people. The general protest which always comes from the Negro press against such exhibitions of lawlessness should never be construed as sympathy for the tough element among our race. The Colorado Statesman believes in law and order, and we feel that this is the feeling of not alone the Negro press, but of the best class all over the country. We recognize the necessity of getting rid of the tough Negro, but we do not think he should be hurried beyond the law. Let the best class of our people rise up and force this bad element to the rear. What would be a great help to our people in accomplishing this result would be the giving of less prominence in the daily papers to the petty crimes and misdemeanors of the police court type. The lazy, worthless Negro counts for no more among the people of his race than the same class among whites. What we must do in Denver is to push this bad element to the wall and as far as is within our power prevent the development of similar conditions prevail in Illinois. LINCOLN AFTERMATH. All over the country come reports of the celebration of Lincoln's birthday. From the humble beginning of a few Kansas Negroes the celebration has taken on national proportions. With the millions gathering to pay homage to the memory of a great American, how very few are animated with the same spirit that stirred Lincoln. Down in Illinois Booker T. Washington banqueted and orated at NO.24 Springfield. Telling in his eloquent and simple way of the freedom of two people and the great good that has come to both. Over in a Missouri City a Lincoln Association celebrated by raising a thousand dollars and then some to drive the Negroes from their neighborhood. And this is but a little of what has come across the wire. RACE NEWS GAYHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Havana, Feb. 14 — The Cuban Senate this afternoon approved the Morna amendment to the election law after a slight change in the verbiage. It excludes the recognition of any ticket based on race distinction. Red Bank, N. J.—On account of the increased cost of living, the preachers of the African Baptist church gathered here at the Atlantic Coast Baptist Ministerial conference, have agreed hereafter to make a fixed charge for sermons or addresses delivered at funerals, marriages and semi public functions. The charge for a public oration or a political address will be $10, and the fee for funerals, weddings and minor functions will be $5. Any pastor violating the agreement is to be fined $1.00 and deprived of the right to preach for 30 days. Miss Hazel Harrison, of Laporte, Ind. who is credited with phenomenal talent as a pianist appeared Sunday in a recital at Chicago. Her playing won the unstinted praise of the newspaper critics, who suggested that some wealthy persons make possible for her a world-wide reputation by contributing money. Two Chicago women whose names were withheld, have given the girl $4,000, and she plans to go to the music centers of Europe. The Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana has solemnly declared that in contemplation of the law "a Negro is a person having a perceptible mixture of Negro blood." The court makes the train conductor, the hotel keeper and most any old lout the judge of what is a "perceptible mixture." There are liable to be many differences as to what constitutes "a perceptible mixture." as there are white people in the South. As we all know there are many people who have no mixture of Negro who are much darker in complexion than others who have. The railroads have to be protected from suits arising from the mistakes of conductors. Hence this peculiar condition. Continued to Fifth Page. THURSTON H. U.

RAILROAD WORK IN COLORADO BIG COMPANIES WILL PROBABLY SPEND TEN MILLION DOLLARS THIS SEASON. CASH WILL STAY HERE NEW LINES, DOUBLE TRACKING AND OTHER IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS. Denver.—Colorado will profit to the extent of approximately $10,000,000 by the work to be done in this state during 1910 by the various railroads that have announced big building projects. The new double track line to be built by the Rio Grande and the Colorado & Southern from Pueblo to Walsenburg will cost $5,000,000, and most of the money will be expended in this state for rails, ties and labor. The New Mexico Central is now engaged in making surveys to connect its property with other systems. The line will be built into Durango on the northwest and Big Springs, Texas, on the Texas Pacific. It is practically certainty that work will be begun on the line this year. That the 125 miles of territory between Denver and Pueblo will be spanned by a new track or a second track of one of the lines already operating between the two cities, probably the Santa Fe, seems assured. This will cost in the neighborhood of $5,000,000, but the increased facilities afforded will soon repay the expenditure. The Colorado & Southern from Wellington to Cheyenne, the Burlington from Hudson to Greeley, the completion of the Union Pacific from St. Vrain into La Salle, and the building of that line from a point between St. Vrain and La Salle to Fort Collins, are either certainties or strong probabilities. Most of the supplies and labor for all these projects will be found in Colorado, and the state will profit as much as it ever did in a single year from railroad building. Death of Mrs. M. Given. Denver.—After days of unconsciousness in an illness which befell her as suddenly as many tragic events of her life, Mrs. Mena Given, divorced wife of Charles J. Guiteau, who assassinated President James A. Garfield, died at St. Joseph's hospital February 22d. For years she had lived quietly at Kiowa lodge, near Bailey's, and there several days ago, was found senseless. Apoplexy struck her when alone. She was brought to Denver, but never regained her mind. Following the insane deed of Guiteau, from whom she had secured separation, she sought recluse from the public in Leadville, when the camp was in great activity. There her identity was discovered, but she buried the memory of the past in the warm friendships she made among acquaintances. She had re-married. Mrs. Given was sixty years of age. In the early '80's she conducted several well patronized restaurants in Denver. She survived her second husband by several years. W. C. Johnston, formerly of Denver, and president of the Fountain Valley Land and Irrigation Company, has pledged $20,000 to the building of a canning factory near Fountain. The factory is to cost $70,000. The remainder of the money is promised from eastern sources. The plans include a colonization scheme. The National Association of Letter Carriers has filed suit in District Court at Colorado Springs against the trustees of the Union Printers' home to get full possession of 150 acres of land near the home which the letter carriers bought of a site for their own projected home from the state land board one year ago. The printers held a lease on the land, but the letter carriers claim the lease was subject to sale. The manager of the Denver Reservoir and Irrigation Company states that by March 1 Barr lake, south of Hudson, enlarged to five times its previous size, and with its system of ditches providing irrigation for 40,000 acres, will be ready to furnish water. By April 1 the Greeley Denver Valley district will receive its water, and by June 1 Milton lake, south of La Salle, will be completed and in use, making the Denver-Greeley Valley the first bonded irrigation district in northern Colorado ready for use. Including the five large ranches recently purchased southeast of Kersey by the company, to be provided soon with water, 150,000 acres will be supplied by the company this summer. Over 4,000 acres of this immense tract has been plowed. Greeley is planning to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the arrival of the Union Colony in May, 1870. For the sixteenth successive time, Henry T. West, eighty-five years old, the only surviving member of the committee which located Greeley, has been elected president of the society. George V. Cosseboom, master mechanic of the Smuggler mine at Aspen, has been appointed by Governor John F. Shafroth to fill the place left vacant by the dismissal of State Boiler Inspector Alexander E. J. Whitney op charges of alleged graft. COLORADO ITEMS The next quarterly convention of the Colorado State Realty Dealers' Association will be held at La Junta the third week in April. A combination of former large cattle ranches on the Platte river, near Hardin, will form the Woodsdale irrigation district to be organized soon. Judge Hubert L. Shattuck, in the District Court at Denver, has appointed John D. Allen receiver for the Colorado Investment Loan Company. Patrolman Henry Schwartz, said to be the richest of Denver policemen, was tried before the fire and police board for drunkenness and was discharged from the force. Professor E. P. Taylor has been appointed horticultural inspector for Mesa county, to succeed former Representative A. B. Boyd, author of the Boyd horticultural bill, resigned. James F. Burns expects to advertise for bids for his $200,000 theater at Colorado Springs within the next thirty days. Contracts for the building will be let about April 1st, according to present plans. For using profane language in the presence of his little son, a Colorado Springs man was sentenced to six months in the county jail. However, the sentence was suspended during good behavior. Vice President A. D. Parker of the Colorado & Southern railroad has denied a rumor that the company would electrify its line between Denver and Morrison, which it began to broad gauge last fall. The Denver Park Commission contemplates the construction of a coasting and skeeing course, to be ready for use next winter. There is no better fun than sliding down hill, when there is enough snow. The bodies of F. H. Fields and Speaker Moasly, negroes, were recovered from the Primero mines a few days ago. The bodies of sixty-eight of the seventy-six miners killed January 31st have been recovered. At a meeting of the Rifle Chamber of Commerce, Fred Munro, Joe Luxen and W. H. Haley, cashier of the First National Bank, were appointed a committee to prepare for the building of a large auditorium on the site recently purchased by the city for a park. Secretary Boggess of the Colorado Chautauqua at Boulder says that already a record number of inquiries have been received regarding the summer session, which commences July 4. The institution now ranks fourth in the United States. A meeting of the stockholders of the Colorado-Kansas Railroad Company will be held in Pueblo March 22d, to authorize the issuance of bonds to build the road into Fremont county. The company is considering plans for a line to the top of the Royal Gorge. In the recent death of William Phillips of Severance, in Weld county, Colorado lost a pioneer. Phillips was seventy-six and was a foreman on the Union Pacific when it was built from Omaha to Salt Lake. He drove a stage between Denver and Golden in 1874. He leaves four sons, two in Denver, one at Severance and one in Missouri, and a daughter. Union Pacific officials have announced the location of four new townsites on the branch to Fort Collins, which leaves one of the two main lines running into La Salle at Dent. One is in section 19, township 5, range 67, between Officer and Ragan. The others are in Larimer county, one just east of Boyd's Lake and one in the Harmony district. In view of the emigration of settlers to northern Colorado this summer, it is apparent that an acreage exceeding that of previous years by 100,000 will be planted this season within the Greeley district. While much of the new land to come under irrigation for the first time will be planted to grain and potatoes, the older farmers of the district will seed more than one-half of their acreage to alfalfa. I. Idelson, the Denver Jewish rabbi, has bought 640 acres in the vicinity of Ault for $80,000, from Thomas Ballentine, ex-city editor of a Peoria, Ill., newspaper, now land-owner and horseman in Colorado. Rabbi Idelson, it is said, will plant his farm to grain, potatoes and beets, and employ Jewish farmers. It is understood that if successful he will buy adjoining land and devote his tracts to practical philanthropy. One hundred thousand acres of desert land in Routt and Rio Blanco counties, recently restored to the public domain, are to be irrigated by the Northwestern Irrigation Company, which has filed articles of incorporation in the office of the secretary of state. The incorporators are W. J. Fine, H. B. Boughner and D. S. Hamilton. Engineers have staked the line of the canal for ninety miles from the north fork of the White river, by tunnel through Yellow Jacket pass, to Axial Basin and Maybelle. The tunnel will be 3,000 feet long. Four reservoirs with a total capacity of 250,000 acre feet will be constructed. Work will soon begin on the new $270,000 science building at the State university for which the last legislature appropriated $70,000. It will be 115 by 220 feet and have three stories. It will accommodate the department of geology, biology and the state museum. The Northern Colorado Laymen's Missionary convention will be held at Denver, March 3d to 6th, and all churches are invited to send delegates. A convention will be held at Colorado Springs, March 2d to 4th, for the southern part of the state DID YOU EVER TRY Neef Bros.' Beer? It's made right, and tastes right.

ENTHUSIASTIC friends of the Negro are beginning to prophesy regarding the material improvement that will be shown to have taken place in his condition by the returns of the general census to be taken this year throughout the nation. It is declared that numerically he will probably total close to or above eleven millions and that his property holdings and business enterprises will show a surprising improvement over the conditions reported by the census gatherers ten years ago. While all this, and more, may be true, and probably will be verified by the returns, it is well to remember that the census reports will not indicate exactly the inside character of the changes taking place in the condition of the Negro, which, in many instances, are more a matter of sociological study than of tabulated returns. Encouraging figures are naturally to be expected, because the Negro has had so much to gain that he is bound to have gained something, but the real causes for these gains must be taken into account and weighed by the careful student of social conditions. Contact and competition with the white man is responsible for many of the Negro's industrial changes, for his gradual elimination in certain branches of industry has forced him to take up others. That the new conditions are an improvement over the old ones is much in the Negro's favor, but they do not really show the self initiated industrial or commercial development that we would like to see. The Negro has done well, undoubtedly, but he has not done well enough, and we are inclined to be impatient of too much praise. When the Negro catches that spirit of industrial and commercial daring which will make him an entirely independent and self-sustaining factor in the nation's population, we will feel better satisfied with his progress. THREE QUESTIONS TO TAXPAYERS A CORRESPONDENT sends us three questions to the taxpayers of Denver, with a request that we comment upon them editorially. Extending the privilege to any reader of the Colorado Statesman to offer his own reply to these questions through our columns, we give our own views in limited form. The questions are as follows: 1. Does any resident of any city owning its own water plant get title to his share of the property? 2. Did you ever hear of any person leaving a city and selling his interest in the plant? 3. Does any citizen derive any benefit from municipal ownership if a private company supplies better water for less money? These are questions designed to make taxpayers think. They are of equal interest to every citizen who may some day become a taxpayer. Each question is allied to and dependent upon the other two, and they may be treated as one question in three phases. Condensed, they really mean: "What does the taxpayer get for his money when a city votes to own its own water plant?" People are often found willing to get something for nothing, but few persons are willing to pay for what they do not get. Title to any property vested in a city does not accrue to any citizen, either in individual or trust form. It is irrevocably locked up as a municipal asset in which the private citizen's only interest is an obligation to pay its expenses. The taxpayers collectively pay the entire cost of the property purchased in the name of the city, but the portion of the amount that each taxpayer pays is an absolute contribution (voluntary on the part of him who votes for it), for which he takes no individual title and which will never be returned to him in any form of intrinsic value or individual benefit. There is but one exception to this rule, and that is in favor of the politician who derives his support from the administration of the property purchased so kindly with the money of the taxpayers. But some may think that the taxpayer is eventually benefited by a reduction of his taxes for the public benefit which he enjoys. This is a popular delusion on which the plea for municipal ownership is based. The first item in municipal ownership is a great bonded debt, and the second is the interest on that debt. The portion assumed and paid by each taxpayer is naturally and assuredly represented by a largely increased tax rate over the period for which the bonds must run. In reality this period is the better part of an ordinary lifetime. The increased cost to the taxpayer might be reasonably estimated at about ten dollars a year for each one thousand dollars worth of property owned by the taxpayer. Long before the end of this period, the natural increase in values will have materially increased the original water tax rate rather than decreased it, and the taxpayer will have discovered that he has been playing a losing game all through. With a private company bound to furnish the best supply at a reasonable rate, the taxpayer would have saved twenty per cent of the value of his property in taxes alone, without considering his decreased water rate. We cannot conceive of any other conclusion upon a fair consideration of the questions propounded. HE QUESTION whether moral standards are the same in city as in country probably cannot be answered alike for every comparison of urban with suburban. Some cities are notably narrow and backward, like overgrown villages, while some country places have so much civic sense and alert pride that they rank high in what we might call moral incubation, being true hatching places of better social ideals and keener ethical perceptions. At the same time several elements in the comparison make it in the large possible to contrast city and country morals. For example, the power of neighbor opinion is considerably less in the city than in the country. By this I mean that dwelling near another person in the city does not mean necessarily acquaintance with or notice of him; whereas in the country neighbor censors neighbor, often than not gossips about him or her and therefore exercises a certain degree of restraint upon him. Much of the laborious and often petty casuistry that harasses the typical country place and that the city dweller finds intolerable, is due to this. Religious intolerance, with its magnifying of theological trifles, for the same reason flourishes in the country, while the city forges ahead and away from it like an express train from a stage coach. People have other and healthier occupations for thought. At the same time the city independence has its faults. Isolation is a terrible strain for the young man or woman. The country may mean gossip, but it means united support and "company" as well, and to be transplanted from such rootage to the lonely places of the great city involves some of the severest temptations to which a character can be subjected. The moral standards probably in themselves vary little between city and country, much as they may differ in application in the two places. Franker instruction by parents and schools on physical matters should help boys and girls "find out things" in wholesome fashion, instead of through whisper. Festivals, open-air dances and romps are needed to feed the hunger for companionship, color and joy. More freedom under wise supervision for the children and youth of both sexes together has promise of nobler development and a moral standard for both city and Office Boy Always Potential Boss By JONAS HOWARD and the casual optimisms of the ordinary giver of "advice to the young" is that they emanate from a man who has the right to talk, especially along this line. Mr. McMahon does not say what he does simply because he believes it. He knows. Mr. McMahon began his career as an office boy with the firm of which he now comes near being the head. The story of McMahon is a good, inspiring idea with which to begin the new year. It reeks with hope and optimism and has results to back it up. McMahon now is only 43 years old and from a start humble enough to suit anybody he has mounted pretty near to the heights of business success. He was 14 when he began in the New York office of the Fairbank company. That was 28 years ago. There was nothing spectacular or meteoric about the boy. There are probably thousands of office kids around the country at this moment who show as much promise as did he. He was just a common office boy who had to work for a living and he did nothing but work, work hard, for his subsequent promotions. He moved naturally from ordinary office boy to ordinary clerk and it wasn't until he was placed in charge of the export shipping business that the future began to promise much. There he displayed the ability that won him the confidence of his superiors and in 1896 he was appointed general sales manager and came to Chicago. Chicago has been the scene of his most important activities, but he had won his spurs before he came here. It is easy enough to continue as a success; where the thousands fail is in making the big step upward. Grand Chance for Inventive Genius By COL. J. M. MABRY of Memphis part of the crop. The human pickers will let the unripe cotton alone and return to the fields for it later, on maturity. Then again the machine will take up a lot of trash, dead leaves and pieces of stalk that will cause much trouble and labor to get rid of before the cotton can be carried to the gin. It is a great pity that some better way of extracting the fleecy stuff cannot be found, but there is apparently nothing to do except continue the old plan of gathering the crop by hand. This is a slow and also an expensive procedure, as in a good year almost every planter raises more than he can gather with his own labor and is thereby forced to hire outside help. Occasionally it is impossible to get this help and as a result much of the cotton is left in the fields to be wasted for want of labor to pick it. T Vary But Little With City Standard By REV. ELIOT WHITE Eust Witte "Every office boy is a potential office manager. Every clerk is a potential head of the firm. The talk that the day of opportunity is past is all rot. The chance to 'work up' is as good as ever. It always is up to the boy." These little extracts from the philosophy of James B. McMahon, whose recent election as first vice-president of the American Cotton Oil Company of New York supplemented his old position as vice-president of the N. K. Fairbank Company of Chicago, are worth the reading and remembering. The difference between them Many persons wonder why no shrewd inventor has ever yet devised a machine that will pick cotton. Many an inventive genius has worked at this problem, but as yet it is unsolved. There is no trick in getting up a contrivance that will do the work of picking, but that does not begin to solve the difficulty. The trouble lies mainly in the fact that the cotton does not all mature and open at the same time. A machine that may pick out the locks of the opened bolls cleverly enough will also take along the green and unopened bolls and therefore destroy a big THE BROADHURST CARTER SHOE CO. 823 Sixteenth St. We Are Denver Agents for the Nettleton Shoe FOR MEN $6, $7, and $8, Pair M.

This building is amply supplied with books, covering all topics, for entertaining and instructing the people. The library will be free and open to all classes of citizens.

Following in the footsteps of 14 year-old Estelle Gibbs, of Hoboken, N J, who made the highest mark among the grammar school graduates, Thomas Johnson, 16 years old, residing at 62 Newark Ave., Jersey City, has the credit of taking first honors in the Jersey City high school. Young Johnson leads the January graduating class of the Jersey City high school with a general average of 93.64 per cent, for four years. It is the first time a Negro has won such distinction in Jersey City. The commencement exercises of the January class of 1910 will be held jointly with the June class shortly before the summer vacation. It is predicted by the school officials that Johnson will deliver the valedictory. Johnson is very modest about this record, and says, he had to study very hard to get first place. He will study law. Another colored youth, James Wilson, won second honors, and Oscar Byron, white, made the third highest mark of the class.

What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn hair in clearly hairy condition more pliable and glossy, easier 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.

A large coffee importer, returning from a trip to the interior, brought with him a young onca, which ts a species of wild cat or tiger, and he gave it to Col. Bryan as a testimonial of his regard. The minister was fond of animals, and prized his gift highly, but the onca, while interesting during its youth, rapidly loses that attraction as it becomes older, one of its specialties being an insatiable appetite. The col- onel wearied of his pet, and one day when some United States battleships were in port he presented the onca to the officers of the Iowa as a mascot. In the course of time the men of the navy looked about for some one on whom to unload the animal, and at Buenos Ayres they fell in with a Chilean man-of-war. As a token of the cordiality existing between them, the impoyerished lowa officers gave the onca to the officers of the Chilean war- La = Roy —~| Ti Ss ow GI US See TE se Conmresman Griese of Georgia once had an _ experience with a negro elevator operator in the post office department at Washington which the negro probably never will forget. The congressman entered an express elevator which was forbidden to stop below the fifth floor, on which is located the office of the postmaster general, “Let me off at the fourth floor,” said the congressman, “This elevator doan’ stop below thé fifth flo’,” responded the negro with finality. “Let me off at the fourth floor,” commanded Griggs, looking the negro in the eye. “ "Deed, sah, dis elevator doan’ stop at dat flo’. Why, it wouldn't stop even for the postmaster general hissel’." Griggs’ southern ire was aroused. & fang” I. IS the custom in the senate for each senator to address every other one as “Mr.” Talking with persons with whom they are not very well ac- quainted, it is probable that Senator Warner and Senator Stone each refers to the other as “Senator.” In their committee rooms, homes and among Missouri friends, the Mis- sourt senators are “Bill” to each other. If Senator Stone has something to say of his colleague to one of his {ntimates, he will remark that he told “Bul” Warner, or he will suggest to the man to go and see “BI Warner. Close friends of Warner have heard bim refer to “Bill” Stone. The Mis- Jar slot machine, for which it still does extensive duty. It is the price of ad: mission to the fast multiplying picture shows in all parts of the country, The new-fasbioned boot-shining parlor charges a “nickel.” ‘The saloonkeeper and the baker for years have gathered their daily jar- vest of these little coins, The soda fountain, growing in popular~ favor, deals mostly in “nickels.” Tee eream in summer time goes for five cents, and the charge for a myriad of things in the pharmacy and the fiye-cont store requires this coin, Most smokers would have to quit were it not for the “nickel,” obnoxious as the domestic cigar is to many of them. The cigarette would cease to be the popular smoke it is if the price were not five cents. Shoe laces would either become a luxury at a: higher price or require payment in pennies. Turn which way one will, the five- cent piece bobs up at every turn as the most necessary coin of the realm. Its discontinuance would ineyitably in- crease the cost of a thousand things of every-day life, which no dealer now has the daring to change because of riveted custom. There is no likelihood that the gov- erument will soon consider the elim- ination of this coin, as such action would result in a howl of disapproval hint serti ship. Donor and recipient were pleased exon measure, and the ships re- sumed their journeys. After the lapse of considerable time, ‘a number of Chilean warships stopped in the harbor at Rio Janeiro, and among the entertainments prepared fo the officers was one at the American legation. Minister Bryan was more than usually felicitous as a host, and the Chileans thought they should in some manner show their appreciation. So the next day a delegation of gold- laced, beplumed and clanking warriors appeared at the legation, and after presenting Col. Bryan an _ address teeming with good nature they gave him the onca—the same old cat, only larger and hungrier, and more re- pulsive—and the minister turned away to hide his tears. He had received the same token twice from two wide- ly separated sources. Later the onca was given to, the captain of a merchant ship undeHan ironclad agreement the animal was not to be put ashore at 2 port anywhere if Col. Bryan was there. Col. Bryan has had an interesting diplomatic experience, While serving in Brazil he witnessed the rise and collapse of a revolution against the re- public, but the disturbance never was serious enough to cause embarrass ment to the dipiomatic corps. ‘Then he was transferred to Portugal and was in Lisbon at the time of the assassination of the king. “Look here, nigger,” he roared, “let me oft at the fourth floor quick, T want you to know that a congressman can get off at any floor he wants in this building.” “Yes, sah,” the negro hastened to re- ply. “Yes, sah.” And the elevator stopped, and the Georgia congressman had accomplished what the postmaster general couldn't do. To show how up-to-date everything is in Washington, the secretary of the intertor kindly calls the attention of congress to the elevators in the im terior department, which were put in service over thirty years ago. In the first place, these same elevators are little sheet-tron cages only big enough to carry half a dozen and unable to lift over 300 or 400 pounds welght, and are really not safe as well as antique in character. This is practically true of all of the older government buildings in Washington, however, In most of them the “lifts” move at the rate of an inch a minute and every once in a while fall to the bottom. An appropri- ‘ation of $30,000 has been asked for the pees of four new electric lifts in the interior building. sour! “Bills,” though of opposite politi- cal parties, are very good personal friends. “The senator from Missouri,” said Vice-President Sherman. Senator Stone was on his feet in front of his desk on the Democratic side, address- ing the chair. Far back on the Republican side Senator Warner was doing the same. “The senior senator from Missouri,” said the vice-president, looking direct- ly at Warner. Again Senator Stone addressed the chair, “I am the junior senator from Missouri,” sald Warner, “if the chair intends to recognize me.” “Then it is the junior senator who is recognized,” said Sherman, and Warner introduced his bills. Some time later Senator Stone was recognized and introduced his pills. It may have been more than a coinct- dence that each of the Missouri sena- tors introduced a bill extending the time for the commencement of work on the municipal bridge at St. Louis.

Flour is sifted many times to admit air and thus lighten it.

Well, it isn’t important, anyhow. Go ahead, Mrs. Chucksley, and tell the jury what you know about this case.” THE STORY OF THE PEANUT SHELLS. As everyone knows, C. W. Post of Battle Creek, Michigan, is not only a maker of breakfast foods, but he is a strong individual who believes that the trades-unions are a menace to the lib- erty of the country. Believing this, and being a “natural- born” scrapper for the right, as he sees it, Post, for several years past, Jhas been engaged in a ceaseless war- fare against “The Labor Trust,” as he likes to call it. Not being able to secure free and untrammeled expression of his opin- ions on this subject through the regular reading pages of the newspapers he has bought advertising space for this purpose, just as he is accustomed to for the telling of his Postum “story,” and he has thus spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in denouncing trades-unionism. As a result of Post's activities the people now know a whole lot about these organizations: how they are honeycombed with graft, how they ob- struct the development of legitimate Dusiness, curtail labor’s output, hold up manufacturers, graft upon theinown membership, and rob the public. Natu- rally Post is hated by the trades- unionists, and intensely. He employs no union labor, so they can not call out his men, and he defies their efforts at boycotting his products. ‘The latest means of “getting” Post is the widespread publication of the story that a car which was recently wrecked in transmission was found to be loaded with empty peanut shells, which were being shipped from the south to Post’s establishment at Battle Creek. This canard probably originated with President John Fitzgerald of the Chi- eago Federation of Labor, who, it is said, stated it publicly, as truth, Post comes back and gives Fitz gerald the lie direct. He denounces Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate falsehood, an underhanded and coward- ly attempt to injure his business, hay- ing not the slightest basis in fact. As such an effort it must be regarded. It Is significant that this statement about “the peanut shells” is being given wide newspaper publicity. In the “patent inside” of an eastern country paper I find it, and the inference naturally is that laborunionites are insidiously spreading this lie. An institution (or a man) which will resort to moral intimidation and to physical force, that will destroy ma- chinery and burn buildings, that will maim and kill if necessary to effect its ends, naturally would not hesitate to spread falsehood for the same pur poses. We admire Post. While we have no enmity toward labor unions, so long as they are conducted in an honest, “live- ané-let-live” kind of a way, we have had enough of the tarred end of the stick to sympathize thoroughly with what he is trying to do. He deserves support. A man like Post can not be killed, even with lies. They are a boomerang; every time. Again, we know, for hasn't this weapon, every weapon that could be thought of, been used (and not simply by labor unions) to put us out of busi- ness, too? I am going to drink two cups of Postum every morning from this time ‘on, and put myself on a diet of Grape- Nuts. Bully for Post!—Bditorial in The American Journal pf Clinical Med icine.

It is not correct to say that "cemetery" means the "city of the dead." The word is from the Greek "Kolmeiterion," meaning sleeping place, not the place of the dead. There is nothing in the thinking that it was originally intended to convey the idea that the departed were really dead any more than there is in the old Hebrew term for cemetery—"Bethaim"—the house of the living.

JAP GIFT DESTROYED TREES SENT BY MIKADO TO WASHINGTON HAD TO BE BURNED. Found to Be Diseased and Covered with Insects Which Government Wished to Keep Off American Trees.. The agricultural department was compelled to burn all the cherry trees sent to Washington by the Japanese government. This was not an act of dis courtesy to Japan, but was taken as a measure of self-protection, in view of the fact that the trees were hopelessly diseased, and carried a ton by the Japanese government. This was not an act of dis courtesy to Japan, but was taken as a measure of self-protection, in view of the fact that the trees were hopelessly diseased, and carried a number of insect pests that it was thought unwise to turn loose in this country. The fact that the destruction of the trees was not regarded as an affront by the Japanese authorities is evidenced by the suggestion of the Japanese consul in New York that he would see that the next consignment of trees was in better condition. As a matter of fact, the trees probably would not have lived had they been planted. As the species is a dwarf tree they were all old and in shape to blossom in spite of their small size. Consequently their roots were developed to a considerable extent, and in taking the tree up for shipment the roots were pruned severely. It was thought doubtful by the greenhouse man at the propagating gardens whether they would have survived the root pruning. Being imported stock, they were turned over for examination to the department of agriculture, as is all other nursery stock, and it was found that they would be a menace were they planted. The examination was made by the division of entomology, and it was found that the trees had gumboils on the roots, as it were; fungus on the branches, and there was no telling what sort of epidemic disease they would have developed in the leaves had they been kept long enough to grow leaves. As to bugs, the report of the bureau of entomology gave names to the varieties as long as the names held out, and then had to resort to letters and figures, owing to the fact that there were some specimens heretofore unknown to science. Some of these may be valuable bugs. Then again they may not. Consequently, there were a few of the buggiest trees reserved from the funeral pyre and planted out in the experimental plot of the bureau, and there will be an expert entomologist with a dark lantern, a butterfly net, cyanide bottle and other lethal weapons placed on guard over the trees to see what sort of bugs develop, and whether any of them can be properly domesticated. It may be that the department will find some enemy of the cotton boll weevil or of the gypsy moth. Then again they may find that they have escaped an insect yellow peril that will make the green fly and the army worm look like selling platers. Spring will tell what sort of insects and diseases the trees harbor. Meantime the city fathers in Tokyo are scrubbing and disinfecting a fresh lot of younger trees, and when they arrive the scientists hope that they will be able to pass quarantine and be planted out as ornamental shrubbery. SAYS WOMEN ARE TO BLAME Lafe Young of Des Moines Tells Why Department Stores Have Grown. A group of men were discussing the parcels post system in Washington and there was the general statement that the big department stores would drive out the small country merchants. Then Lafe Young of Des Moines, Ia., made an interesting statement. "The women are responsible for the big department stores," he said. "It all grew out of the cost of delivering goods. A woman would buy 25 cents worth of stuff at a store and insist that it should be delivered. The small merchants could not afford to maintain delivery systems, and they gave way to the big department stores." Yet, if Col. Lafe would sit up and take notice, he would see that nine out of ten women carry packages, whereas only about one man out of ten will be bothered with even a small packet. The evening paper is about all the average man carries home. Roosevelt Sends Jungle Moths. A collection of moths that live on antelope horns has been received at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington from former President Roosevelt. The donation came in the form of a pair of horns on which the larvae are snugly imbedded. The authoritss are taking good care of the horns, so that the larvae may hatch. Introduced Two Land Bills Two administration bills, one to appropriate $500,000 for a survey of the lands within railroad grants, designed to expedite the surveys so as to make the lands subject to tax, and the other providing for a survey of the lands in Alaska so as to cover all lands there likely to be occupied, have been introduced by Representative Mondell of Wyoming. EAT GOVERNMENT BEAN SOUP Hoosiers Cook Vegetable Sent Out for Seed, Says Information Received by Congressman. Representative Ralph W. Moss, who is making a red-hot fight to bring about the abolishment of the so-called "free seed graft," threw a bomb into the ranks of the free seed advocate in congress by springing a surprising revelation. Moss has received information that in Indiana beans sent out by the government are being used to make soup instead of being planted in the regulation way for the germination of the future bean crops. This use of the government bean is something entirely novel, and Mr. Moss believes that the information he has received will assist him materially in waging war on the free seed business. The information came to Mr. Moss in a letter from a former member of the legislature, residing in Terre Haute. He says he can supply the names and data, and is entirely willing it shall be used in the good cause of stopping the government free seed distribution. It seems, according to Mr. Moss' informant, that packages of seeds sent out for distribution at a certain place in Indiana have been opened, the beans extracted and used for making soup. This is not regarded as a fla-grant sin in these days of soaring prices for food products, but the Terre Haute man merely sends in the information to show the contempt in which the government bean is held out in Indiana. NATIVE BORN; NOT CITIZEN Ellis Island Held Not to Be American Soil in Case of Immigrant Woman's Baby. A child born of an alien mother, during her detention at Ellis island is not an American citizen, since the status of the parent does not change until her acceptance by the immigration authorities. This is the decision reached in Washington in the case of Mrs. Bahia Ouat, a Syrian, who gave birth to a son while at Ellis island and whose eligibility to enter the country because her son was born on American soil puzzled the immigration authorities. Mrs. Ouat arrived at Ellis island, unaccompanied and without money. She was considered subject to deportation as liable to become a public charge. Upon her claim that her husband was later coming to meet her here, having tarried behind to dispose of some real estate, she was detained pending an investigation of her husband's whereabouts. In the meantime a son was born to her, and as the immigration laws prohibit the separation of families the question was raised as to the right to deport the son as one born on American soil and therefore entitled to citizenship upon coming of age. The immigration bureau, however, holds that, broadly considered, Ellis island is not American soil. HAS VERY UNIQUE OFFICE New Quarters of the Indian Commissioner in Washington Are Splendidly Decorated. Mention of government offices brings to the mind of the average Washington man a picture of a great room, littered, one may say, with old, red—imitation mahogany—desks, hung with drop lights, and ornamented with electric fans. The contrary is the appearance of the new offices of the commissioner of Indian affairs. His rooms in the pension office building are spacious, but they are artistically arranged. Oiled oak desks have supplanted the old red ones. The floor, highly polished, is laid with blankets of the Navajo and of other famous Indian tribes, which are gazed upon covetously by lovers of unique decoration. On the walls are hung pictures of Indians, civilized and primitive, and on the grill work above one of the doors is a string of pennants of a number of the Indian schools. Certainly no other government office is so unique in appearance. WANT TO KEEP WARM? GO UP Jump in Your Aeroplane and Soar—46 Degrees Warmer, Says the Weather Man. "If you want to keep warm do not go south; go up. "Jump in a balloon, aeroplane, any old flying machine. Soar to an altitude of several thousand feet and enjoy a balmy atmosphere." The government weather sharps gave this advice most seriously. They say the severity of the recent cold wave is confined to the earth's surface. The higher the altitude the higher the temperature. Meteorological kites at a height of 9,500 feet register a temperature about 46 degrees higher than at the earth's surface. Does He Ever Eat? Faithful as the watchdog that remained on guard until he was but a shadow, Jim Mann, the most persistent (but not insistent) objector the house has known in years, is ever on the alert, and few pages of the house proceedings are published that do not show his name in print. "Does Jim Mann ever eat?" asked a man in the gallery, who had watched him in action at all times of the day. "Well, not here is an opportunity for him, and kick," was the reply. A CAUTIOUS HUSBAND.

One day, when Lord Thurlow was very busy at his home in Ormond street, a poor curate applied to him for a living then vacant. "Don't trouble me," said the chancellor, turning upon him with a frowning brow. "Don't you see I am busy and can't listen to you?—what duke or lord recommended you?" The poor curate lifted up his eyes and, with dejection, said he had no lord to recommend him but the Lord of Hosts. "The Lord of Hosts?" replied the chancellor, "the Lord of Hosts!—I believe I have had recommendations from most lords, but do not recollect one from him before; so, do you hear, young man, you shall have the living." Why He Was Lonesome. Tommy, whose varying points of view are illustrated by the Farm Journal, had not yet learned the Golden Rule. Neither have a good many of his elders. "I should like, Tommy," said his father, "that you might find some boy to play with you. Now what's the matter with Johnny Jenkins and the little Dobbs boy?" "Pooch! Why they're a whole year younger than I am," said Tommy, contemptuously "I couldn't play with them!" "Well there's Jack Spear and Willie Harlow. Won't they do?" "Yes, but they're a year old than I am," said Tommy, wistfully "so the mean things won't play with me." Some Luxuries Needed. Those stern economists who pointing out that the people of small means ought to abandon "luxuries," forget that even such people have a moral right to something beyond the bare necessities of life. The rapid increase in prices does not mean to them cutting out more extravagances, but forgetting the modest recreations which have brightened for them the dull round of daily labor. It would be a hard world indeed where one could obtain just enough to keep body and soul together, and no more.—Providence Journal. SHE QUIT But It Was a Hard Pull. It is hard to believe that coffee will put a person in such a condition as it did an Ohio woman. She tells her own story: "I did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, and could not quit drinking it, but I was a miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nervous prostration for four years. "I was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it. For months I never went to bed excepting to get up in the morning. I felt as though I was liable to die any time. "Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally one time it came over me and I asked myself what's the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that I could indulge myself in coffee? "So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking coffee and got some Postum to help me quit. I made it strictly according to directions and I want to tell you, that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee because I had the Postum which I now like better than the old coffee. "One by one the old troubles left, until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right and the pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills, don't take any medicine, can do all my housework, and have done a great deal beside." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are routine, true, and full of human interest. A Scotch preacher had in his congregation an old woman who was Jean. In order to hear the sermon each Sunday, this old lady would seat herself at the foot of the pulpit stairs. One day the sermon was about Jonah, and the preacher became very rhetorical. "And when the sailors threw Jonah overboard," he said, "a big fish swallowed him up. Was it a shark that got 'im? Nay, my brethren, it was ne'er a shark. Was it a swordfish that eat him? Nay—" "It was a whale," whispered the old lady excitedly. "Hush, Biddie," said the preacher, indignantly. "Would ye tak' th' word of God out o' yer ane meenister's mouth?"—Success Magazine.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street T Of the season is the wearing of a muff and stole set in the evening and at afternoon receptions and musicales. The sets made entirely of fur are beautiful, but the pelts that are appropriate for these occasions are so costly that they are miles beyond the average income. Quite as smart as the fur sets, however, are those made of lace and chiffon, with perhaps a bit of fur and clusters of flowers. These frilly affairs are one of the picturesque and novel features of the season. One of the chief advantages is that they may be made at home, and many little bits of trimmings' or fabrics taken from the piece bag or from an old garment may be used in their make-up. Especially useful are the old-fashioned fur sets which are only slightly worn. They may be cut into strips Prettier and More Lasting Than Any That One Is Able to Buy in the Shops. The girl who has left over from one of her frocks a four or five inch strip of gold tissue or net such as was used in yokes this past season can turn it to account in an exquisite workbag. Make round bottom, five or six inches in diameter, and cover it with plain blue, green or illac silk that has a satiny sheen. Make a bag seven inches deep and long enough to go twice around the circumference of the bottom. The top should be turned in for an inch and a half and a half inch casing stitched or briarstitched in. If preferred, the bag may be lined with white china silk throughout. The strip of gold net is then sewed around the lower part of the bag. This should be about half the depth, or wider if desired. The top may be scalloped, but in an irregular waving line, or cut into square tabs. The net is then darned in with different colored embroidery silk or mercerized cottons to give a solid darned surface. This stitchery may be straight around or in waving lines or follow the outline of top. If top is pointed it can be arranged in deep points around entire surface. Care must be taken that the order of colors is observed in starting new groups of darning. New Bows. The newest spot for a bow is at the front of the bodice, just below the yoke. This is of a different color from the frocks, and is usually made of liberty satin. It is not full and loose, but long and trim. The loops and ends are the full width of the ribbon and are laid out in flat lines. These touch up not only dress costumes for theater, restaurants and informal dinners, but they are worn on simple house frocks. The more vivid colors are used to give brilliancy to simple gowns, such as white, gray or black. Among the colors are apple green, plum, purple, parrot green, turquoise, blue, geranium, red and black, with rhinestone center. Of Unbleached Muslin. Very coarse, open, unbleached muslin will work out in most stylish effect as a Russian blouse dress with a long tunic. Cross-stitched in white, or even in a deeper shade of ecru, the garment will prove unusual and picturesque. A combination of the heaviest ecru floss and a fine white embroidery cotton will give another and a richer effect. Here the skilled embroiderer may work in long and short stitches to the best of her ability and to her lasting satisfaction. There is little doubt as to the wearing quality of this garment. The life of unbleached muslin is well known. In selecting the quality, that to be avoided is the very firm and heavy. A French Blouse. A new yet simple lingerie blouse is made of eyelet embroidery, with scallops turned upward toward the yoke and overlapping it. In the sleeve the edge of the embroidery is reversed, and the scallops turn down over a tucked cuff. and combined with lace and chiffon with lovely results. The quaint old-time pelerine, the graceful long stole, the draped shoulder cape and a muff to match are all "in the running" for this season. If no fur is available, marabout or swansdown may be used. It is wonderfully fluffy and becoming, besides being inexpensive. The colors used in these dalmity affairs are varied and beautiful, the preference being given to the lovely old tapestry colors. The fabric may match the fur or marabout if desired, but usually some pleasing contrast is more effective. Gold and silver are used to a great extent in these popular accessories. They are especially liked for linings, either plain or under chiffon or fine lace. Some of the most luxurious of the furs for evening, such as ermine and sable, have these gold and silver linings. With the Present Styles This Is Most Essential—Should be Tied Firmly. In this day of false hair it is well to have it well reefed to the head or unpleasant exposure may follow. This is best managed by tying the hair firmly before attempting to arrange it. Any woman who has attempted this tying with ordinary string will welcome some of the novelties now to be bought for this purpose. One convenient arrangement is a piece of wrapped wire about four inches long. One end is pointed and the other forms a loop, through which the point is pushed when the hair has been wrapped several times. Even more easily managed is a loop of silk braid or elastic about two inches long. There is a small button at one end over which the elastic is slipped after being wound twice around the hair. For light hair these fasteners can be bought in browns and tans so that there is less danger of them showing. An ideal advantage of such arrangements is that they can be bought by the box or card, so there is no mad hunt for a shoestring or ribbon that has been mislaid. SMART LITTLE COAT Such a smart little coat as this I sure to find favor with mothers who like to see their girls nicely dressed; it may be made up in serge or cloth, of which there are innumerable pretty colors to be selected. The fastening down center front is by hooks and eyes that are invisible; a deep kiling is added to the sides and back. A wavy pattern of narrow silk braid forms the trimming. Hat of straw trimmed with ribbon. Materials required: $2\frac{1}{2}$ yards 48 inches wide. A VEGETARIAN SUPPER DISH If Tired of Ordinary Dishes of Meat, These Will Be Found Most Worthy to Serve. Break two ounces of macaroni into short lengths, throw into boiling water and boll rapidly 20 minutes. Rub the hard boiled yolks of two eggs to a paste, add gradually four or five tablespoonfuls of cream. Rub together a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour. Add the egg and half a cupful of milk, stir over hot water, until you have a thick golden sauce. Add half a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper. Chop the macaroni and add it to the sauce. Cut a slice from the stem ends of good solid tomatoes, scoop out the center, stand the tomatoes in a baking pan, fill the centers with the macaroni, dust with bread crumbs and bake in a moderate oven 30 minutes until the tomatoes are perfectly soft, but not broken. Croole Corn.—Peel and cut in quarters four good sized tomatoes, put these in a saucepan with a dozen okra washed and cut in slices. Cover and stew slowly 20 minutes. Add the pulp of a dozen ears of corn, a level teapoonful of salt, one sweet pepper chopped fine, a dash of white pepper. Cook over hot water 15 minutes, add either four tablespoonfuls of cream or two of butter and send to the table at once. This is a delicious vegetable dish. Served with chicken, it forms a desirable sauce, or it may be served as a vegetable with broiled or roasted meats. The accompanying starchy vegetable should be rice. TRY THESE THREE DAINTIES Will Be Welcome as Worthy of Addition to the Daily Menu of Spice Cake.—One-half cup butter, one-half cup sugar, one-half cup molasses, one-half cup sour milk, one cup raisins, one teaspoon soda, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon all kinds spice, $2\frac{1}{2}$ cups flour. This will make one large or two small loaves of cake. Griddle Cakes.—One pint sour milk, one teaspoonful soda, one-half teaspoon salt, flour for right thickness. These are extra good and make a sufficient breakfast for two hearty eaters. Gelatin Pudding.—One quart milk, one cup sugar. Put in double boiler to heat. Soak one package gelatine. Add the pink with one-half cup of cold water and turn in hot mixture. Let nearly come to a boll. Take from stove and add one tablespoon of vanilla. To be eaten with whipped cream flavored with vanilla. Potato Diamonds. Season hot mashed potato with butter, salt and pepper, and moisten slightly with hot milk or cream. Beat with a silver fork until creamy; then press into a buttered shallow pan. Cool slightly and remove from pan. Cut into diamonds and place on a buttered baking sheet. Brush over with an egg yolk (beaten and diluted with a little milk) and place in oven until hot and brown. Remove to hot platter and serve garnished with parsley. —Mrs. Smith. Pineapple Marmalade Use ripe, sweet pines. Slice and pare. Then cut into small pieces. Allow three-fourths pound sugar to each pound fruit, mix in granite bowl and let stand over night, preferably on ice. In the morning take from ice, and cook gently for an hour. At the end of this time press through a fruit crusher or coarse sieve with a potato masher. Replace on stove and cook half an hour longer. Place in little pots. Cottage Pudding. One cup of sugar, butter size of egg, one teaspoonful soda in one-half cup of milk, two teaspoons cream of tartar in two cups of flour, one-half teaspoon vanilla, little salt. Beat well and bake in a sheet tin. Sauce—Two tablespoons flour and butter size of egg, creamed together. Add slowly $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups boiling water, add one cup of sugar and flavor with lemon, vanilla or nutmeg. No egg in the pudding. Einnan Haddie Fish Cakes. A new step and time saver for the busy housewife is the baked finnam haddie that now comes ready to use for fish cakes, creaming or chowder. The fish is less smoky than when it comes whole. For the cakes mix the finnam haddie par-boiled with an equal quantity of mashed potato, season with melted butter, salt and pepper, add a beaten egg and mold into cakes, then fry. Ladies' Cabbage. Boll a firm white cabbage fifteen minutes, changing the water (using boiling water) when tender drain and set aside until perfectly cold. Chop fine and add two beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, pepper and salt, three tablespoonfuls of rich milk, stir all well together and bake in a buttered dish until brown; serve hot. This dish resembles cauliflower and is digestible. Bellevue Pudding One-half cup molasses, two teaspoons butter, one-half cup sweet milk, $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups flour, one-half teaspoon soda, one-half teaspoon cloves and cinnamon, fruit if you wish. Sauce for Same.—One cup powdered sugar, one-half cup butter, one egg beaten very light. Just before serving add two tablespoons of hot milk or water, one teaspoon of vanilla. R. E.
