WATER FRA A BRIEF OF THE DENVER FRANCHISE. A SIMPL COLORADO BUSINE THAT FRANCHISE. If there is anything in the contention of the multitude of reformers that the Denver Union Water Company proposes to hoodwink the good people, it seems to The Colorado Statesman to be rather farfetched. The proposed franchise is remarkable for its brevity. If we exclude the schedule of streets and alleys and the water rates to be charged, the entire document is much less verbose than the daily caporings of journalist over on Welton street. The requests asked to be granted by the franchise are couched in language singularly free from the usual legal phraseology which so often obscures the real purpose from the uninitiated. This fact very evidently the water company recognized when it decided to go to the people for endorsement. The continuous palavering of the reform element would tend to make a less enlightened public believe that the individual in the woodpile was rather sunburned. The schedule of rates to be charged for water for various purposes is set out in plain figures in the franchise. The rates are reasonable and fair as compared with other cities, and the added cost of construction and maintenance here. This one item the reformers seem to entirely lose sight of, and undertake to be buddle the public with the cry, "initiative and referendum," when in fact the water company is referring the entire franchise to the public for approval. The water company agrees to make such extensions as the citizens may demand, and to furnish the city with $100,000 worth of water annually for fire and flushing purposes FREE of charge, and to pay the city for such pipes, hydrants and connections now owned by it, at the price agreed upon by competent appraisers. This is a synopsis of the franchise, and if there are any secret traps or pitfalls ex-Governor Thomas, the city's special counsel, should render his opinion to the public and not to the "star chamber cabal" undertaking to mystify the masses with groans and sighs. This paper has no hesitancy in commending the franchise and urging our people to endorse it at the polls next --- May. Our people cannot afford to ally themselves with the non-progressive element. Denver needs a better plant to meet its growing needs. To grant this franchise will place a capable company of solid business men to go on and construct a plant of adequate dimensions. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Is the Negro Business Men's League of Colorado a live wire? This is a very pertinent question just at this time. The season of the year has come when much good for our race can be accomplished through just such an organization, but it must be a live bunch of men. Our Business League of Colorado covers Wyoming and New Mexico, giving it a vast field over which to operate and countless opportunities are ever present where the good of the race would be advanced if only the man on the spot was a live wire, with more interest in the commercial uplift than in the "apples of Sodom." It is presumed that the man or woman who becomes a member of the Business League has a small business of their own and they are prompted by the two-fold purpose of improving themselves by associating with others engaged in business, and to reach out and urge others to get into the business habit by being ever on the alert for openings when a Negro stands a man's chance to win if he only has energy, perseverance and good moral habits. If our colored business men of Colorado will only glance at the efforts of the white man to make chances for his people, they would learn a mighty lesson in what constitutes the seemingly irresistable commercial and civilizing supremacy of the Saxon. They are not only active during the few hours their commercial clubs are in session, but by day and by night they are busy planning and scheming to increase their business by inducing others to come and live by them. The uttermost parts of the earth know of the beauty and grandeur of Colorado climate, as well as the unsurpassed wealth in her mines and fields. Our business men are paralyzed when the league closes. There are nearly a dozen papers in this belt published by DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 16 1910. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House Monday Apr RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, Negroes in the interest of their race, and we venture the opinion that every one of them stands ready to boost. They will as quickly give publicity to matter from our business men as they will recount the frolics of a social event or the sober doings of a church revival. What the Negro journals all over the country ask is that our business men wake up and boost. There will be plenty of time to sleep the dreamless slumber in the grave. In connection with this desire that our business men wake up and get busy, we can in justice ask the mass of our people to go do likewise. Every one of us has a friend somewhere. We can reach him. Perhaps he or she has a few dollars. The assertion is made that Negroes have purchased and are paying for more than a thousand homes in this city within the past few years. With the right kind of an effort we can increase this number by five hundred more this year. With the right kind of an effort we can increase the earning capacity of the Negro in the city of Denver. If every good citizen will lend his influence to the promotion of this idea, we will all be surprised when the harvest is over in the fall. Then, too, we can send them out into the sugar beet and potato districts, where their winnings will make a "crap game" or a "black jack game" look tame and decidedly discouraging. It's work we want for our people. LAW UPHELD BY JUSTICE FORD Undue extremes to which some southern white men in the North carry their personal race prejudice against the Negro are constantly being enacted. The latest and most disgraceful affair of this kind was exhibited in the supreme court in New York on Friday, March 25 when one Leroy Bowers, a southern white man, refused to serve as a juror in a case because Walter E. Douglas, a Negro, was on the jury in the same case and its foreman. The suit on trial was that of Paul E. Richter against Bernard Rust to recoxer $1,000 for commissions alleged to be due over a real estate deal. Charles L. Hoffman counsel for Richter, had commenced to question the members of the panel, who had taken their seats in the box, when Bowers got up and, addressing Justice Ford, who presided, said: "Your honor, I see there is a Negro on this jury. I am a south erner All my education, training and instincts are against associating with Negroes. I notice that that man" (here Bowers indicated Douglas) "is a Negro. I therefore beg to be excused from serv- ing on this case." Justice Ford appeared to be angry. Addressing Bowers, he said: "You are unfit for jury service in this case or in this court. You are excused not only from this case but for the rest of the term. A man who expresses your views is not fit for jury service." We commend Justice Ford for his manly action and timely rebuke to Bowers, and we would advise all such persons who live in the north to change their residence as quickly as possible to some other section of the country where justice is meted out according to their personal dislikes for the Negro rather than according to law.—Boston Guardian. BUQUERQUE NEWS Richard Spikes is a new arrival from Bisbee, Ariz.

Interment at Fair View cemetery. Last Thursday our city election took place and the Republican mayor was officially elected by one majority.

Steele and Miss Bessie Pullam of Denver passed through the city last week for Needles, Calif, they were once residents of this city and many of their old friends met them at the depot and gave them a hearty hand-shake. Mrs. L. S. Black, with the assistance of the best taken in the city, are arranging for a fine concert on the 21st of this month, at the A. M. E. church. Woman's Day in Albuquerque as was duly announced from our pulpits a few weeks ago, was enthusiastically observed by the ladies of the A. M. E. church, whose idea it was that first originated the effort. The day was an ideal one for the occasion. Services began at 5 o'clock, Sunday morning at the A. M. E. church. Rev. H. H. Jones turned the entire day over to the women of Albuquerque, to be run as they would have it. The morning services were taken up by an eloquent appeal to the ladies by Mrs. A. B. Montgomery, after which every woman, man and child in the beautifully decorated church responded with a short statement of their ideas of a progressive life. The ladies in particular gave some thoughtful testimonials, which were indeed inspiring, it is evident that the ladies of our city are going to be the means of better women, better mothers and better homes. Mrs. E. T. Ellsworth led the afternoon services, a large crowd was present. The responses from the women expressed good judgement. The day ended with a fine literary program. The ladies of our city have shown an intelligent, progressive move and Woman's Day will be celebrated annually.

Fifteen white men quit work in Manchester, Va., because the foreman put a Negro to doing the same work they were doing. The foreman refused to put the Negro off and the white men walked out. We sincerely hope the foreman can keep them out. It is time a stop was put to this vertible nonsense, about men dictating to others, who have their means invested, how they shall conduct their affairs and whom they shall employ in its conduct.—New York News Star. It's all over with the Jim Crow ordinance. It popped in the council last night like a toy balloon. The feelings of its sponsors were apparently akin to those of a small boy whose balloon is punctured by his playmates. It made loud noise—this premature explosion—but no one was hurt. The ordinance didn't last long enough to get to the lower house, where Alderman Darius Brown was waiting with a speech against it. Six Democrats voted for it in the upper house, but there were not enough. Four Republicans and two Democrats voted against it. That killed it.—Kansas City Star. NO.31 New Haven, Conn., March 29. T. M. Gregory, the colored member of the Harvard Debating team was the star of the annual intercollegiate debate held last week at Woolsey Hall in which the Harvard debaters came out victorious. The crimson team upheld the affirmative side of the question, "Resolved, That the Federal Government should have the power to impose an income tax, not apportioned among the states according to population." Of the speakers T. M. Gregory excelled, showing much ability in presentation. He is vice president of the University Debating Council and president of the Harvard Debating Club. Memphis, Tenn., April 5.—Because they openly admitted their love for each other, Horace White, colored, of Springfield, Ill., was whipped by the police and put aboard an eastbound train, and Eva Bishop, white, was put on the first train north by the detectives, who instructed her to go to her home in Grand Rapids, Mich. White was steward at the Arlington Hotel where Miss Bishop was cashier. It was at the hotel they fell in love. According to Police Inspector Hayes Miss Bishop admitted her love for white who is several years her senior. New York, March 31.—George W. Griffin, a Negro porter was awarded $1,000 damages for false arrest and imprisonment from Daniel M. Brady, a manufacturer, by a jury in the supreme court here today. The verdict derived interest from the fact on a former trial of the case before Justice Dugro the court, in setting aside a verdict of $2,500 as excessive, laid down the dictum that a colored man could not suffer shame to the same extent as a white man as the result of false arrest. In charging the jury in the present trial, Justice McCall expressed an opinion drametrically opposite. "The tribunal of justice has nothing to do with the color of a man's skin." the court charged, "therefore it is your duty to return a verdict on the evidence without considering in any way the race or color of this cefendent.

WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN TROUBLE "I began to have an itching over my whole body about seven years ago and this settled in my limb, from the knee to the toes. I went to see a great many physicians, a matter which cost me a fortune, and after I noticed that I did not get any relief that way, I went for three years to the hospital. But they were unable to help me there. I used all the medicines that I could see but became worse and worse. I had an inflammation which made me almost crazy with pain. When I showed my foot to my friends they would get really frightened. I did not know what to do. I was so sick and had become so nervous that I positively lost all hope. "I had seen the advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies a great many times, but could not make up my mind to buy them, for I had already used so many medicines. Finally I did decide to use the Cuticura Remedies and I tell you that I was never so pleased as when I noticed that, after having used two sets of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the entire inflammation had gone. I was completely cured. I should be only too glad if people with similar disease would come to me and find out the truth. I would only recommend them to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs, 1621 Second Ave., New York, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1909." "Mrs. Bertha Sachs is my sister-in-law and I know well how she suffered and was cured by Cuticura Remedies after many other treatments failed. Morris Sachs, 321 E. 89th St., New York, N.

Most white men not only like to give advice to black men, but think it their bounden duty so to do. Many white men are capable of giving advice to black men, but some are not. Much of their advice is needed and appreciated, but some is not. The assumption that under every circumstance the white man is endowed with a divine commission to shed benevolent light upon the black man's obscure mental perception, is the condition that gives us fatigue. We bump against that condition among all classes and characters, from Bangor Jack to Roosevelt. The first formal speech that Mr. Roosevelt made after getting out of the jungle was to the young Egyptians at Cairo. In direct conflict with their natural sentiments as nationalists, he advised them to yield to the beneficent rule of the British. They resented his advice and hooted him. He meant well; perhaps he was right; but the black men he was talking to were not American Negroes. The incident was said to have aroused some alarm in Europe, especially in Germany, where he is to visit, for fear that he might interfere with politics there. But such fear is groundless. The habit does not work that way. The black man alone must stand for this delivery of gratuitous wisdom, whether he wants it or not. Nobody else is in danger. This is well understood in America. WATER CONSUMPTION. The amount of water consumed by the inhabitants of a city, per capita, should have something to do with the water rate. The quantity of any commodity of specific, intrinsic value makes the total cost of it correspondingly large or small, and a division of the cost among a large number of users of course does not alter that total cost. In the case of a water supply that is directly at hand, the problem of pumping enters into the cost of its delivery, but if that supply is brought from a distance, the added cost of maintaining and guarding the courses must be considered. In every case the quantity of water required and consumed adds to the expense of supplying it. Some cities use a much greater amount of water than other cities of corresponding populations. This is not always due to the character of the industrial enterprises of a city, as might be supposed, nor to the especial love of its citizens for water as a beverage or for their daily ablutions. The so-called Citizens' League of Denver, for instance, has been striving to make its weekly luncheons at the Albany hotel a popular feature of the discussion over the city's water question, but there has been nothing about these functions to suggest that the average attendance has been strongly addicted to the use of water as a beverage in preference to other liquids supposed to quench thirst. In fact these hotel luncheons offer few inducements and no special invitations to the class of citizens who most prize and use the pure elixir of nature to quench their thirst and cool their labor-heated brows. The amount of water that a city consumes is due largely to the character and requirements of its soil and to other features peculiarly attendant upon its location and environments. Denver consumes more water per capita than any other large city in the United States. This is another fact little realized here at home, perhaps because our supply is always adequate and no discussion of the point has ever been occasioned. Pueblo is the only city among more than a hundred that have been mentioned in these columns, which uses more water per capita that Denver uses, and Pueblo's water rates are from fifty to ninety per cent. higher than ours. The average amount of water flowing through Denver's service pipes daily is 220 gallons per capita. Cincinnati uses only 119 gallons per capita daily; New Orleans, 50 gallons; Louisville, 85; Indianapolis, 79; Toledo, 66; Providence, 67; San Francisco, 80; Los Angeles, 112; Detroit, 167; Baltimore, 125; Kansas City, 77; Omaha, 110. These are cities whose populations equal or exceed the population of Denver. Many other smaller cities throughout the country require even lower averages, but as we have said, only Pueblo consumes more water per capita than is consumed in Denver. And this service in Denver is distributed over an area of nearly sixty square miles, the population being well scattered and various outlying districts thickly populated, and requiring the same service furnished in the central portions. The Denver Union Water Company meets the triple problem of conveying water to the city, of pumping and distributing that supply over an unusual area, and does so at a lower average rate than that charged in more than one hundred of the larger cities of the country. To know these conditions is to have the citizens of Denver appreciate them. MORE ABOUT HIGHER TAXES. Last week we made the bold statement in these columns that the cost of water to the people of Denver would be higher, in the future, under municipal ownership than under private ownership. That statement aroused much comment among our people and among the readers of this paper. We have frequently been asked to go more into detail as to the why and wherefore of this statement. Some of our readers have expressed the thought that, perhaps, we were not sure of our facts. Before entering upon a discussion of figures relating to the facts upon which we based our statement it may be well to present to our readers the views expressed upon this subject, more or less frequently, by those who, at this time, are the strongest exponents of a municipal water plant. We refer to former Senator Patterson and his newspapers, the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Times. For more than twenty years the senator and his newspapers, except when the senator, or some of his friends, were seeking political office or control of the political machinery of the city, have consistently pointed out the extravagences and excessive costs under municipal ownership. Just now the senator, and his papers, are inconsistent, because he and his friends are trying to get hold of the water plant for the purpose of creating a personal political machine. Their arguments, at this time, must be discounted to allow for that personal interest. In an editorial, written for the Rocky Mountain News on February 15, 1890, Senator Patterson, then Lawyer Patterson, and associate editor of the News, said: "The propriety of the city owning its own water works is questionable. It is not every public service that a city or a state, can undertake to perform. Custom and experience has convinced many of the wisest and most conservative men that the public can frequently be better and more cheaply served by the use of private capital than by public taxation. The management of all such works by municipal bodies is most usually attended by outrageous corruption and extravagance, and the opportunities they afford for public plunder act as beacons to the thieves who can always force themselves into public offices." So strongly did Senator Patterson feel that he was right on this subject that, on February 17, 1890, he wrote another editorial for the Rocky Mountain News, in which he said: "No special reason exists why it should be taken for granted that the municipal government can handle water works, gas works or similar enterprises to better advantage, or give more general satisfaction than private corporations. The reason is not derived from statistics, nor can it be justified by experience in this or any other city. Municipal governments are seldom carried forward on business principles. They usually pay double for inefficient work. Placing water, gas or kindred works in the immediate control of the City Hall only adds to the patronage, makes more places for ward workers and gives additional limit to the very bad business methods that usually obtain, not in Denver alone, but in all modern cities." Getting closer to home Senator Patterson, in an editorial in the Rocky Mountain News, under date of December 30, 1909, only three months ago, showed that he was still of the same mind, except when he is seeking office for himself or some of his friends. Then he and his friends are going to reform political human nature and make political grafters honest. In the editorial of December 30, 1909, the News was commenting on an opinion delivered by Judge Wesley O. Howard, of the Supreme Court of New York, in which Judge Howard declared that, on an average, forty per cent, of the money appropriated for public works is wasted in sheer graft; that is to say, it is stolen. "A public structure, built honestly, would be a freak, said the Judge. If this leak could be stopped the money now devoted to public works would be almost twice as much as at present, would provide schools and libraries and parks and museums and all the rest of it." Commenting on this statement by Judge Howard the News said: "WE TAKE IT FOR GRANTED THAT THE JUDGE WAS RIGHT IN REBUKING THE PARTICULAR FORM OF GRAFT THAT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE HIM. WE THINK HIS STATEMENT THAT FORTY PER CENT. OF PUBLIC MONEY IS WASTED IS A VERY MODERATE ESTIMATE; THOUGH WE DO NOT BELIEVE ALL THIS LOSS, NOR EVEN THE MAJOR PART OF IT, IS DUE TO GRAFT. THE DIRECT RELATION BETWEEN EFFORT AND REWARD, WHICH STIMULATES PRIVATE ENTERPRISES, IS, AND ALMOST MUST BE, ABSENT FROM PUBLIC WORK; AND ITS ABSENCE IS QUITE ENOUGH TO ACCOUNT FOR A LOWER LEVEL OF EFFICIENCY." Still later, under date of January 19, 1910, the Rocky Mountain News pointed out that the Auditorium, originally estimated to cost $400,000 had actually cost $780,000. (Of course there is no chance that Mr. Patterson's engineering prodigy, Abraham Lincoln Fellows, would miss the cost of a water plant as far as those who estimated the cost of the Auditorium missed their guess.) The News further pointed out that the total deficit for the Auditorium, for the year 1909, was $154,520.01. "That may be business" sald the News, "but philanthropy could hardly be more expensive. We call particular attention to the two items following: Salaries for 1909, $24,154.23. Total income for 1909, $23,474.46. "In other words" says the News, "the business Mayor paid out in salaries alone $679.77 more than he got in from all sources connected with the property." Then the News said: "Brewster's Millions" tells the story of a young fellow who had to spend $1,000,000 in one year in order to get a legacy of several millions more. He did the deed, but it gave him brainstorm and nearly wrecked his health. That young man lacked instruction. He had nothing but the pifling counsels and example of the gilded youth of New York and Newport, who smoke $1.25 cigars, attend monkey dinners and go yachting on a sea of champagne. That's no real way to spend money. One may get rid of a little spare change that way, but not of any respectable sum. If that young man who had so much trouble spending $1,000,000 in a year had served a few years' apprenticeship under Mayor Speer he could have got rid of $1,000,000 a month without inconvenience. These extracts, from statements made by the News, and by Senator Patterson, at periods twenty years apart, indicate that the senator, as a matter of fact, has had no change of heart concerning the inefficiency and extravagance of municipal ownership. Having thus shown that municipal ownership has no real supporters, except for political purposes, we have cleared the deck for a discussion of the why and the wherefore of the greatest cost to the people under municipal ownership.

On behalf of the bereaved relatives (residing in the British West Indies) of the late Honorable Joseph H.

The largest funeral that has ever taken place in the City of Denver for years was that of the Honorable Joseph H. Stuart. On Sunday afternoon at 1:40 p. m. his immediate friends together with the pall bearers met at A. M. Lawhorn's Undertaking parlors at 1921 Arapahoe St., where his body lay in state, chapel services were held under the direction of Re". Hazell after which the2body was taken to Shorter A. M. E. church. Upon the arrival at the church a funeral march headed by Rev. Ward and all the ministers of the city, followed by the pall bearers in conventional dress, while the choir sang pathetically "Lead Kindly Light," upon arrival at the altar Rev. Ward took charge of the ceremonies. Rev. A. E. Reynolds offered devotion, Rev. Hazel read the Scripture lesson and the choir sang another appropriate and touching song and Rev. Ward preached the funeral sermon. "What Shall We Do in That Solemn Day," in a very feeling and manner. At the conclusion of the sermon Mr. Morgan Jackson very sweetly sang "Rest to the Weary." A letter sent by Rev. Braxton of Colorado Springs expressing his regrets and offerings his condolence for the deceased, was read by Rev. Ward. Then Attorney W. B. Townsend, by request, delivered an interesting historical pathetic and eloquent eulogy upon incidents of the life and times of Hon. Joseph H. Staurt, covering a period of his early history in Kansas and Colorado and summing up of his work in Colorado. At the conclusion of Mr. Townsend's address the ushers took charge of the vast audience, for Shorter was filled to its taxing capacity, and the people were invited to view the corpse which was incased in the most beautiful seasoned oak casket which has been seen in this vicinity for years. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. The most unique floral offering was that of a large harp with a broken string set with roses and carnations which was very appropriate because of Mr. Stuarts knowledge of music and was often charmed thereby. After the remains were vied by the immense audience the body was taken to Fairmount cemetery where it will lay in the vault until the arrival of his brother from St. John's, Barbados, British, West Indies.

The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable 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 the 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 removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents it from becoming itchy, and gives it new life and vigor.

Passengers on a New York street car were treated to some choice examples of German-American English when a stout gentleman with a robust voice started to relate to a friend his adventures of the previous night. "Twelf o'clock it wass when he come alretty," said the stout man, "und on de door rap." "But," said his companion, "it was only about ten o'clock when he started ever there." "Vell, twelf o'glock it wass when he comes alretty und on de toor rap. Und I tell him de dogtor he vant, he shouldn't go de frondt vay oudt, de side vay roundt und de pack vay oop, und chust as blain as dot. Und de den plame fool, he rap yet und vake efery-pody de house in. Den I put myself my pants on und maype I don't pall him oudt. I call him a chumbb und a lopster—" "No," laughed his friend, "you surely didn't call him that." "Call him dot?" snorted the fat man. "Say, I call him eferthing I can lay my hands on." The Large Way. Apropos of J. Pierpont Morgan's immense resources, as shown in his recent proffer of $100,000,000 wherewith to build more New York subways, a broker said: "Mr. Morgan's wealth causes him to look at money in a large way. Once, at the Metropolitan club in Fifth avenue, I told him of the death of a mutual friend. "How much did he leave?" Mr. Morgan asked. "A matter of five or six millions, I believe," said I. "Mr. Morgan's eyebrows lifted. "How deceptive circumstances sometimes are," he said. "I always supposed him quite comfortably off." Newfoundland's Bad Record. The Newfoundland Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is carrying on a vigorous and necessary campaign this year in the island. The death rate from the disease in Newfoundland is very large. About one in every five of the total population dies of it, and, what is worse, in the last six years the death rate, which is stationary or decreasing elsewhere, has increased about 50 per cent. This is due largely to the native horror of fresh air in the house. Love at First Sight. Friend—So yours was a case of love at first sight? Mrs. Getthere—Yes, indeed. I fell desperately in love with my dear husband the moment I set eyes upon him. I remember it as distinctly as if it were yesterday.

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE ROOSEVELT HUNT IN AFRICA Photos by OLNESEN WASHINGTON D.C. CHEWING GUM TRADE HOW THE INDUSTRY STARTED IN THE UNITED STATES. Nearly 3,000,000,000 Sticks of the Confection Will Be Made in This Country This Year—Chicle Its Basis. A report of the department of commerce and labor in Washington declares that the second cleanest factory of any kind inspected by that department was one where chewing gum was made. U.S. CAPITOL The chewing of gum is by no means a new habit. Our fathers chewed birch bark, slippery elm and shoemakers' wax years upon years ago, but even their pleasure in molar activity is far antedated. Christopher Columbus left behind him a letter which proves conclusively that chewing gum was used more than 400 years ago, and that he regarded it as of sufficient importance to offer some to Ferdinand and Isabella as part of his inducement to them to finance his second expedition to the new world. He offered to bring them as much gold as they would need, as many slaves as their navy would require, chewing gum, spices, etc. The gum, he said, was to come from Chios, and it has been reasoned from this that the chewing gum of Columbus' day was a sort of gummy clay, which was reputed to have medicinal qualities. But the habit of chewing gum may be traced even beyond Columbus' time. According to an ancient Sanskrit poem the soft-eyed Hindoo maiden, even in the times when the Aryan sun worshipers were a budding people, had the habit of chewing kashnir gums, which were supposed to sweeten the breath, redden the lips and color the cheeks. The story of the discovery of the availability of chicle for chewing purposes reads like a romance and involves some of the leading characters of American history. If Gen. Sam Houston had not banished Santa Anna from Texas, or if the attempt to make gum shoes from chicle had not proved a failure, the chewing gum habit, as America knows it, might not have been acquired by our people. Back in the '40's a young man from New Jersey went to Mexico, where he made the acquaintance of Santa Anna. He spent some time in that country and then returned home. When Santa Anna was banished from Texas he went to New York, looked up the young friend of his better days and, it is said, lived with him incognito for some time. During his stay he suggested to his host that the sap of a certain Mexican tree might be made into gum overshoes. When he returned to Mexico he sent a bale or raw, hard gum for experimentation. The effort to prepare the stuff for gum shoes was a failure, and a big chunk of it was relegated to the wood-shed as useless. But the boys of the neighborhood soon set aside the "useless" verdict. They began whitiling off pieces of the gum for chewing purposes. This was a suggestion to the father and he again got out his kettle paraphernalia. This time he made it into unflavored gum and placed it upon the market. By doing so he laid the foundation of a princely fortune. The next proposition was to get flavoring into the gum. This was a task to which the embryo chewing-gum millionaire was not equal, so he employed an Englishman, who was an amateur chemist, to conduct a series of experiments for him. The chemist borrowed $300 from outside sources and with this perfected the original process of flavoring chicle gum. From that time the success of the chewing gum business was assured. To-day those boys, who taught their father the secret of utilizing the old junk in his woodshed, are millionaires. Before they gave him the tip that was to develop into a great fortune he was doing odd jobs around Jersey City. Nearly 3,000,000,000 sticks of chewing gum will be manufactured in the United States this year, and most of it will be chewed as fast as it is made. There are numerous factories scattered throughout the country, and it is said that few industries show greater cleanliness of operation than is the rule in the American chewing gum establishments. The process by which the gum is made is full of interest. Its basis is chicle gum, and this is boiled to the required consistency in copper kettles, after which is added the flavoring and the necessary sugar to give it sweetness. It is then transferred to large centrifugal receivers, whipped into dough and then removed to tables, where it is kneaded in powdered sugar. After this it is rolled into sheets, cut to the desired size, dried, wrapped by machinery and placed in boxes for marketing. Repeated attempts have been made to mix or adulterate chicle, or to get a substitute for it, but there seems to be no substitute except spruce gum, about 15,000 pounds of which is gathered in the woods of Maine each year. Of course, this is a mere drop in the bucket compared with the amount of chicle brought into the United States from Central America. Chicle is not medicinally valuable, but has proved an excellent vehicle for carrying such drugs as pepsin. A British court has held pepsin chewing gum to be a drug, and under the English pure-drug act a druggist was fined for selling some that contained less pepsin than was called for by the label. The mastication that goes with chewing gum produces a flow of saliva which is highly beneficial in certain forms of stomach trouble. While gum chewing has been principally an American habit, the people of other countries are becoming initiated to its delights. A big American manufacturer estimates that the United States produces enough annually to give two sticks to each man, woman and child on earth. Chicle comes to us from tropical America at the rate of more than 5,000,000 pounds a year, and costs in the raw state about $2,000,000 annually. The tree which bears it is to be found in the dense forests of the tropics. The operation in its gathering is not dissimilar to that of gathering maple sap in the United States. One Term in House Enough. Congressman Jamieson of Iowa, the Democrat who defeated Col. Pete Hepburn for congress, is satisfied with one term. "If I had $200,000," said Jamieson, "I would be willing to stay in congress. By rigid economy I might be able to save $8,000 in my term, but I would have to put it all into the campaign if I expected another nomination." EXCHANGE FOR RESERVE LAND BILL ALLOWING FOREST SCHOOL LAND FOR FOREST RESERVE FAVORS THE WEST. APPLE MEASURE FAILS COLORADO FRUIT GROWERS FA VOR STANDARD-SIZE BOXES IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE. Washington.—The House Wednesday passed the Hamer bill, authorizing the various Western states to relinquish title to school sections included in forest reservations and take in exchange therefor an equal area of forest reserve land lying in compact bodies, provided the land so taken is of equal value of that relinquished. These exchanges, before becoming effective, are to be approved by the secretary of agriculture. This bill, if it passes the Senate, will permit all western states to adjust their school land contests that have long been pending before the Interior Department, for exchanges may be made regardless of whether the forest reserves are surveyed, the department having held it can determine the amount of school land in all reserves without surveys. It is contemplated that under this bill the states will select land lying at accessible points along the exterior boundaries of the reserves, so that the land when offered for sale will find ready buyers. The isolation of school land sections in the heart of reserves rendered them practically worthless to the states, but this bill will place in the hands of the states land that can be sold at will. The House committee on agriculture today put a quietus for the present session on the Lafean bill to provide for a standard size of boxes used for shipping apples in interstate commerce, by voting against reporting the bill. The vote was nine against the bill to six for it, with three absentees, two of whom are known to be against the measure. Colorado fruit growers favored the bill but there was strong opposition to it from Washington, Oregon and Montana. Boards of officers of the medical corps are appointed to meet at the places designated to conduct examinations for appointment in medical reserve corps: At Fort Logan, Maj. J. R. Shook, Capts. John L. Shepard and George F. Juenemann; at Fort D. A. Russell, Maj. George A. Skinner and Cant. Edward M. Talbott. New Pension Bill. Washington.—A pension bill of sweeping provisions under which all surviving volunteer officers of the United States army who served six months or more would receive retired pay according to length of service, and all honorably discharged enlisted men over seventy years of age and suffering a certain degree of disability, would receive a straight pension of $30 per month, was reported to the House Wednesday by Representative Prince of Illinois from the committee on military affairs. In recommending the measure, the committee report says that although the volunteer troops formed "ninety-six per cent. of the armies of the United States and achieved ninety-six per cent. of the historic results," the regular officers have received all the honors and rewards of the government, and the volunteer officers nothing." 100 Miles an Hour.

THE ROAD TO POPULARITY Recipe Has Been in Use Many Years But It Is Not Always Safe to "The way to be popular has been explained by one of the marshmallow magazines which inflates itself with the idea that it is directing modern life. "When you shake hands with a man," runs the recipe, "grasp the hand as though you were glad to see the owner, look him in the eye, and give him a smile from your heart." This is a sure-enough recipe. It has been worked by some of the greatest frauds in Christendom to subserve their own ends. The man who is seeking popularity, posing for it, angling for it, usually doesn't deserve it. Keep your admiration for men who show you their real selves, who, when they are bothered or worried, or mad, or glad, make it manifest by appropriate facial expression, and who are not constantly standing themselves before the mirror. WELL, WHY NOT? — Used to It. Recently a lady witness in a court up the state was subjected to a troublesome fire of cross questions, and the lawyer, thinking that some apology was necessary, tried to square himself. "I really hope, madam," said he, "that I don't annoy you with all these questions." "Oh, no," was the prompt reply; "I am accustomed to it." "You don't mean it?" wonderingly returned the lawyer. "Yes," rejoined the lady, "I have a six-year-old boy at home." Reason for Envy. The stingy man had come home and had objected when his wife attempted to kiss him. "I've just had a tooth pulled," he explained. "Well, I envy the dentist," his wife replied. "You envy the dentist? What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing much," the wife sighed. "Only he's the first person I've ever heard of who succeeded in getting anything out of you."—Woman's National Daily. A. Small Loaf. A half-famished fellow in the southern states tells of a baker (whose loaves had been growing "small by degrees and beautifully less") who, when going his rounds to serve his customers, stopped at the door of one and knocked, when the lady within exclaimed: "Who's there?" and was answered: "The baker." "What do you want?" "To leave your bread." "Well, you needn't make such a fuss about it; put it through the keyhole." Hopeless. "Your store is no good, sir! I asked for lace curtains last week, and I couldn't get 'em." "Indeed?" "Yes. And I asked for silk socks yesterday, and I couldn't get 'em." "That's strange." "And to-day I asked for credit, and can't even get that. Is this a regular store, or what?" ABANDONED IT For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was Killing. "I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. "I had been troubled some time with my heart, which did not feel right. This trouble grew worse steadily. "Sometimes it would beat fast and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a hill, it gave me a severe pain. "I had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that perhaps it might be caused by coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. The change came quickly. I am now glad to say that I am entirely well of the heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Postum. "A number of my friends have abandoned the old fashioned coffee and have taken up with Postum, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Postum very weak and tasteless, but if it is boiled long enough, according to directions, it is a very delicious beverage. We have never used any of the old fashioned coffee since Postum was first started in our house." Read the little book, "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 quirulous, true, and full of human interest. Could Have Been Worse. Damocles was intently watching the sword suspended over his head by a single hair. "Oh, well," he chuckled, "it might have been worse.

In point of fact he took the wrong. One is a first-class res!- dence district; the other is made up of mean buildings. He paused before the number that had given him as the address of his friend. He gazed up at the dusty, dirty outside in dis- may.

Mr, Lloyd George is pleasantly proud of his nationality, but it {s ama- zing that he had to go back to Queen Elizabeth and the Tudors to find his- torical precedence for a Welsh gov- ernment of Great Britain. On the other hand, England has often been ruled by Scotsmen. Of the last three premiers, two—Sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman and Mr. Balfour—were Scotch. Mr. Gladstone sat for a Scotch constituency, and so does Mr. Asquith. Ireland has always been busy supplying us with governing men.

Out in Stewardson, Ill, there lives a young farmer who has been reading all sorts of newspaper stories and maga- zine articles about the higher cost of living, He read that lots of young peo- ple did not get married because the cost of living was such that penury and sorrow stared them in the face. He was a bachelor and prosperous, and it occurred to him that somewhere in the land there must be the mate that would make his home happier and brighter, that might be just yearning to get married, yet scared by all this talk of poverty and trouble. The young man wrote to Speaker Cannon. He wrote a modest postal card to say that he had a farm of 120 acres, and that, like the hotel business, there was “always room for one more.” He put It up to the speaker to furnish the one more. Then Uncle Joe in the goodness of his heart told a newspaper man about the young farmer, and the newspaper man put a plece in the paper and the flood of letters started. the mail was being loaded. He was unobserved till after the train had started. Then the clerks sent him back to Albany. After that he made frequent trips. The employes of the office tagged him “Owney, Albany Postoffice, Albany, N. Y.” They re- quested other mail clerks to affix tags to him on his trips showing where he had been, He soon became so exten- sive a/ traveler, however, that he couldn't carry his tags. While he was once passing through Washington the postmaster general gave him a set of harness. From this the tags were then suspended. He traveled from place to place, always following the mail. In addition to covering the United States -and Canada, he visited Burope and Asia. The mikado of Japan presented him with a silver ‘medal upon which was engraved the ‘national coat of arms. - “Owney” met a death not in keep- ing with his honored life. At Toledo, on one of his journeys, he was chained in the basement of the postoffice. A photograph attempted to take his picture. “Owney” barked his objec- tions, A clerk sought to sooth him and was bitten. Tae clerk spread the report that the dog was mad, and a policeman shot him. Now he goes back to Ohio, honored, but still a very dead dog. “He's too proud,” said the husbana. “I remember that pride of his. It’s almost an affliction.” “What are you going to do?” “T thought I'd send him a check.” “Do you suppose,” the wife scorn- fully asked, “that he would have a check cashed, if he is as proud as you say?” “Well, I'll send Lim the money then.” Next day he went to his bank and drew out a hundred dollars {n one bill. ‘This he put into an envelope and sent to the address of his friend, writing street and number correctly. He told the messenger not to say where the letter had come from. This answer came in the morning’s mail: “Dear Bill- -Well, you've decided to pay that old poker debt after all these years, have you? Much obliged. I'm going to have that bill framed ana hang it on the wall when I get home.” The recipient of the letter slowly tore it to bits. His mind went back to the days of that crazy youth that bis friend referred to. He remem- bered the hundred now; he was as- tonished that {t wasn't more. “I suppose Mary will ask me ff I've heard,” he mused. “I guess I'll say he was too proud to answer, but he need- ed the money so badly he kept it.” established. “Naturally, being director of the bu- reau, I have to bear the brunt of this criticism, That is as it should be. Moreover, I am used to it. “But while the abuse is going around, why not be impartial with it? What about that great weather prophet—the ground hog? “What about ground hogs! I ask you, is he not the greatest faker, the greatest fourflusher, the greatest bun- combe artist that ever pretended to look at a cloud and tell you what was in it? “What did he do this year? Did he make good? Not a bit of it. He was as far off as we were about the prob- able weather conditions for March 4, 1910. “Ie crawled out of his hole on Feb: ruary 2, saw his shadow, got his plc- ture in every paper in the country, and then beat it back to his lair, leaving behind him the idea that the remain- der of February and all of March would be marked by bad weather. “Was it a reliable forecast? I should sny not. We have had the mildest and most beautiful March in years. Yet the ground hog gets off without a single roast. And next year people will be just as eager to believe in bir judgment.” DELAY 18 DANGEROUS. Fee She Sakae. oe come, and there is danger of diabetes and fatal Bright's disease.

It is claimed that the average production of a hen is 200 eggs per annum, but it is safe to assume that the actual is much below this figure, the Wall Street Journal says. Adopting the very conservative figure of 120 eggs per hen per annum, we find on the above basis of production there are 150,000,000 laying hens in the United States responsible for the production of 18,000,000,000 eggs. At the farm price of 20 cents per dozen the total income derived from each hen annually would amount to two dollars. Allowing 40 cents for maintenance and ten cents for depreciation, which latter would wipe out the market value of the hen in four years, irrespective of salvage when the period of production is over, the net profit per hen per annum amounts to $1.50. This profit, according to Wall street standards, capitalized on a five per cent. income basis, would place a nominal value of $30 on each hen. For the 150,000,000 hens this would amount to the enormous total of $4,500,000,000. That the American hen can return a yield of five per cent. per annum on a capitalization of $4,500,000,000 appears nothing short of remarkable, but such is the case. The entire outstanding capital obligations of the railroads of the United States in 1907 were less than four times this amount, or $16,082,146,683, while the total paid out in interest and dividends represented but 4.05 per cent. of this amount. COOKING THE EEL IN JAPAN Patron Chooses His Delicacy, Which Is Prepared for the Table Before His Eyes. Entering a Japanese restaurant, a guest who wishes broiled eels and rice is led to a tank of squirming fresh water eels and bidden to point out the object of his preference. The cook, who stands by, says the Delineator, selects the wriggling victim of his choice, strikes its head smartly upon a wood block and, squatting by it, grasps the creature's neck, inserts a knife in the left side of the vertebrae and dextrously runs it down to the tail, then rapidly applying his instrument to the other side of the backbone, repeats the process, leaving the eel split open. Then, chopping the flattened eel into three-inch lengths, the pieces are plunged into boiling water to make the skin tender, long bamboo splints used as skewers are thrust through them, and they are then placed on rods over glowing charcoal and broiled brown, being plunged from time to time into a vessel that contains old soy of the color and consistency of molasses. These preparations concluded, the steaming eels are drained and placed in red lacquer boxes with rice and set before the customer. STATE OF COLORADO. Insurance Department.

Paris Modes THE HAT. THE gown at the left, designed for the French races, is of salmon colored tussah silk. The skirt is made with a deep yoke, to which the plaited lower part, or flounce, is attached with a piping of black silk. The corsage is trimmed with bands of the material ornamented with buttons of the same and edged with the black silk, leaving a square opening. MANCIES OF FASHION Many of the hats have velvet facings. Long-waisted effects appear in the new lingerie. Flowers of different kinds and colors are seen together. Foulard is coming in for something of its old-time popularity. Linings must be as soft as they can be made, and as clinging. Black and black and white both promise to be fashionable veiling colors. Marquisettes, linen, homespuns, all now appear in checks, both gun-club and shepherd. An odd fancy of the moment is the use on dressy toilettes of belts of varnished leather. The soft serges and cashmeres are used to build traveling costumes for the warm spring days. Nets are again much liked for transparent undersleeves and guimps purposes in the summer frocks. Billows of fluffy materials and cobwebby laces enhance nearly every lingerie frock now being shown. EMBROIDERY SHOWN ON BELT All Sorts of Ornamentation Proper According to the Styles of the Season. A new touch in embroidered belting is the use of jet beads and colored or crystal bugles in connection with an embroidery design. A spray of pink white roses worked on white moire belting had as a center for each flower a jet cabuchon. A daisy design worked in white on pale blue belting had yellow bugles for the center and the stems were made of green bugle beads. The close French knot used to cover stamping, as in coral embroidery, is a quick and popular way to embroider belts. Such a treatment may have satin stitch center with bead stems, or a mock jewel is used for the center, the stems outlined or worked in narrow over and over stitch. Such belting will not wash, but it may be cleaned with cornmeal and gasoline mixed to a thick paste. They are charming, coquettish little things. The set comprises mob cap, sleeve protectors and an apron. The other handkerchief is used for the cuffs and for a pocket on the apron. The whole set is made of three men's handkerchiefs, white, with a fancy border in color. The apron is made of another handkerchief held diagonally and gathered in at the waist toward the top, the extra point above being used as a bib. One handkerchief gathered up for the cap, by stitching around it in a large circle which almost touches the sides and leaves the four points, and drawing the thread up until the cap takes shape, and a most bewitching shape it is. Dusting Sets. correspond and the yoke and undersleeves are of black tucked tulle and white lace. The casino gown at the right is of black mousseline chiffon and black lace. It is composed of tucked bands of the chiffon and bands of lace, and ornamented with jet buttons and straps of cord or soutache. The yoke and sleeve ruffles are of white lace, the girdle is of blue silk. SIMPLE LINES TO RETURN Parisian Authority Is Responsible for News That Will Be Gladly In Mme. Carlier's atelier in the Rue de la Prix there are evolved wonderful ideas in millinery, ideas for which enormous sums are paid by women, or their husbands, from all parts of the world. The practical American will greet with joy the news that this great arbiter of our millinery destiny sounds the note of simplicity of lines, which can be copied at home. The small hat is the one most favored by Mme. Carlier. One round toque of Nattier blue velvet has a tiny bordering of black. A square bow is the only ornament, but placed at the front with its loops spreading out on each side. One of a large number of motor hats is of gathered silk. Around the quaint brim is velvet-bordered ribbon that is gathered and placed in a double quilling to form shells. Over the whole a veil is arranged, caught at each side by a jeweled clasp. COTTO CHIREL GIRL The little dress is in soft cloth, and made up in rather a novel sailor style; the skirt is gathered in at the waist and turned up with a deep hem at the foot. The loose blouse is prettily trimmed round the opening at top by material tabs of different sizes; a ribbon is taken under the tabs and tied in a sailor's knot in front. Materials required: 4 yards 40 inches wide, $1 \frac{1}{2}$ yards ribbon. Lavender and white, pink and white ann blue and white are the colors to be had, although the set may be made at home, choosing any sort of handkerchief one wishes. M.
