THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY SEVERE COLORADO SATURDAY MAY 21 1910. NO. 36 GENIUS OF THE NEGRO Creature Forces have been Developed in many lines. Some Important Utilities have the Source in the Concept of Negro Brain. Some are mentioned. VOL. XVI. GENIUS THE Creature Forces have been Some Important Utilitie Concept of Negro Brain. GENIUS OF THE NEGRO Henry E. Baker, the only colored man who is an assistant examiner of patents in the patent office, has prepared some interesting figures showing the development of the American Negro as an inventor. These figures, the accumulation of which Mr. Baker began years ago, have been difficult to get, for the reason that the patent office keeps no record of the color of a man who applies for and is granted a patent. Through the personal correspondence of Baker with patent attorneys and others, and through a circular letter sent out to the same class of people by the patent office some years ago, most of the information has been acquired. Since the United States patent office was established in 1790, something like 900,000 patents have been granted on various devices, the bulk of which have never had extensive use or even used at all. Out of this number Baker is positive that at least 1,000 of the patents have gone to Negroes. It is a singular fact that until after the close of the Civil war, and the granting of freedom of the Negro, the United States government refused to issue patents to Negroes. The inventive progress of the Negro, therefore, dates back only forty years. Baker says it is a mistake to assume that the Negro is an imitator and not an originator, declaring that after all there is precious little originating among nearly all patents granted, one being merely an improvement over the idea of some other man. "It was a Cuban Negro named J. N. Maltzeliger who made the basic patent for sewing the soles on shoes," said Mr. Baker, "and if he had been up to snuff he would have been worth millions when he died, that machinery today bringing thousands in the way of royalty. Matzliger was a boot and shoe cobbler in Linn, Mass. He originated a company to put the machine on the market, but was flimflammed out of a majority of the stock. At the time of his death, however, he still held some of the shares, which he thought would never be of value. He willed these to a Baptist church in Lynn. Many years later the church became badly mortgaged, and when the officers were hunting a way out of the indebtedness they pulled out this old stock. It brought them $15,000 more than enough to lift the mortgage. The most noted Negro inventor of the country is Granville T. Woods, an electrician, of New York. He has patented forty or more devices, all relating to the control of electricity. One of these he sold to the Bell Telephone Company for $10,000. He and his brother have a company in New York for handling electrical machinery, much of it of their own invention. Next to Woods as a prolific inventor is Elijah McCoy of Detroit. His devices are nearly all related to the lubricating of machinery. They have been used for years on steamships, railroads, etc., and have brought him a fortune. Humphrey Renolds invented the main part of the ventilating machinery for Pullman cars. He was porter on these cars at the time. The company got the patents before he did, however. He quit the concern, entered suit against it, proving the patent to be his own, and obtained a judgment of $15,000. A half dozen Negro women have invented useful articles. M. E. Benjamin, a colored school teacher of this city, invented a gong signal for use in schools and a pinking machine. A Baltimore woman invented for sewing braid on cloth without the thread showing outside. She was a dressmaker. A Florida woman invented a bed for invalid, and refused an offer of $5,000 for it.—Southwestern Christian Recorder. DR. FRISSELL MAKES REPORT Hampton, Va., May 10.—Principal H. B. Frissell, in submitting the forty-second annual report relative to conditions at Hampton Institute, discusses the financial situation as follows: The endowment fund, exclusive of the bequests mentioned above and the remainder of the legacy due from the Byington Estate, amounted to $2,180,376.38 on April 1910. This sum should be in- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 21 1910 creased to at least four million dollars. The policy of using no legacies to meet current needs has been strictly observed. There is reason to believe that the increased cost of living and the enlarged salary list will bring the current expenses for the present year to a sum exceeding $250,000. The General Education Board, the Slater Board, and the Peabody Board have continued their support of Hampton's varied work. The Boston Hampton Committee, the New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia Armstrong Associations, the Springfield, Orange, and Taunton Hampton Clubs, the Indian Associations, and other active societies in the North have done much to create interest in the school during the pst year, and their work in raising funds has been invaluable. For their gifts and for those of the churches and Sunday Schools which have helped us, for the widow's mite and for the rich man's open-handed aid, I wish to express equally the sincere appreciation and gratitude which we all feel. NEGRO SECTION TO BE MOVED WHITES WANT PROPERTY NOW OCCUPIED BY COLORED CITIZENS. St. Petersburg, Fla., May 10. A big real estate boom for property on the South Side of St. Petersburg has brought about such a demand for lots that a plan is on foot to move all the Negro residents from the South Side to the West Side. Such a step would mean that all buildings now occupied by the colored citizens as residences and used as schools and churches will be torn down to make way for up-to-date dwellings for whites. The Negroes have settled thickly south of Central avenue and from South street west to Tenth street. In this area is included some of the nicest located lots in the city. Building lots for whites have become scarce, none being offered that are as near the center of the town as those now occupied by the Negroes. A company known as the Mound Park Investment Company has been organized, which will buy lots and other holdings of the Negro, and the Negro with his family will then be requested to move west of Ninth street. Some of the Negro citizens have expressed their willingness to move, some have already made overtures to the whites concerning the purchase of their lots, while others declare they will not leave their homes which have been built after years of hard work and sacrifice. Instances where the property will not be sold an attempt to secure control will be made by the whites by appraising it at a fair valuation and this will be paid the Negro. Real Estate Company Capitalizes for $50,000. The company will have a capital stock of $50,000 and will be divided into 500 shares with a par value of $100 each. A meeting, the first of the present company, was held in the Board of Trade rooms Saturday evening, when the matter was discussed, and then a subscription paper was circulated. Nearly one-fifth of the stock was subscribed for at that time and since, and a committee has been appointed which has gathered several thousand additional money. An election of new officers will be held at an early date and then the active operations of the company will be started. Those lots, offered by the Negroes themselves, until the entire south side of the city is cleared of the Negro and his belongings. The matter has been talked of for some time, but no concerted move was made. The demand for these lots was never so apparent as during the present tourist season. The lots, close in, on the north part of the city, have almost all been taken up by those who come here to make their winter home. The past year there were demands for lots close in, but they could not be furnished by the real estate agent on the north side of the city. Those lots on the south side were shown the prospective buyers, but when they found that their near neighbors would be Negroes, the sale was not made. Numerous times during the past winter the buyer had agreed to take the piece of property shown, when he found contending that a Negro would be his neighbor. Realizing that to leave the Negro on the south side of the town would be a detriment to that portion's growth, a move was decided upon, which has now assumed definite shape. BROWONSVILLE ECHO CASE Washington, May 9.—An interesting situation has developed as to the fourteen enlisted men of the 25th United States Infantry, who were summinarily discharged with other members of the colored regiment in 1906 in connection with the shooting up of the town of Brownsville, Texas. By the findings of the military board on inquiry these fourteen men were declared eligible for re-enlistment, their status being defined as the same as though they had never been discharged. Under this finding each of the fourteen soldiers is entitled under the law to back pay and emoluments amounting to approximately $1,000. It is now recalled that any soldier in the United States may purchase by the payment to the Government of a sum ranging in amount from $30 after eleven years service, to $20 after one year's service. It therefore follows that any of these fourteen soldiers who can withdraw their thousand dollars from the Government, and immediately afterward, if they so desire purchase their discharge which would leave them on an average, a balance of $900 each. About six of the soldiers have already made application for enlistment. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New York, April 28.—Mrs. Aida Overton Walker has received a beautiful diamond brooch valued at $500 as a prize for winning second place in District F. in New York Journal's $50,000 popularity contest for actresses. The bill to pay depositors of Freedman's Bank carrying an appropriation of $1,261,000, seems to stand the best show of its life for passage this time. Anyway, hope springs eternal from the human breast. The press generally remarks on the Negroes of Dallas, Texas, at a cost of $33, sending a cablegram to Col. Roosevelt asking him to ask Governor Campbell to commute the death sentence for murder of a former Tenth Cavalryman to life imprisonment. At that, Texas Negroes have a higher regard for human than their white fellow citizens. Washington, May 10.—The white man's ancestots have bequeathed to him of afflictions from which the Negro is free, according to Dr. J. L. Minor, of Memphis, Tenn., at the American Ophthalmological Society, one of the organizations of the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons, which was in session last week. A jury of Virginia white men in the Elizabeth City County Circuit Court on Saturday, April 16, 1910, convicted Earl A. Vandyke of criminally assaulting and of causing the death of Rebecca Chandler, a nine-year-old colored child. This is significant action on the part of white men and it indicates that there is a spirit of fair play and justice paramount in the commonwealth. We are free to say that the verdict should have been death. In fact, it should have been death for criminal assault, and then death for the murder. We feel that we shall finally have complete justice.—Richmond Planet. Dr. C. W. Pifer, the physician who examined Jeffries on January 1, for The Enquirer was asked to make a similar examination of Johnson last Wednesday. The verdict of the physician follows: "If Jefferies is a Hercules, then Johnson surely is a black Achilles, the Roland the black race presents to combat with the Oliver of the whites. If the Caucasian is physically perfect, it must be admitted in fairness that the black is equally so. "Jack Johnson, in brief, is a primordal man, steel-muscled and impressive—capable, it would seem, to grapple with a cave tiger of the first era." National Order of Mosaic Templars of America, a Negro organization, is erecting a $50,000 temple building, with headquarters at Little Rock, Ark. Mosaic Templars own a five thousand dollar printing plant and publishes its own literature, rituals, general laws and everything necessary to carry on the work. This order was organized by J. E. Bush and C. W. Kneatts, A. D. 1865. The Mosaic was the first fraternal order to issue a policy in America. The present membership is seventynine thousand in America, covering three northern and all of the southern states. Mr. J. E. Bush, one of the founders, is at present a federal officeholcer, and worth at least $75,000. Last year the National Grard Master W. M. Alexander is in Oklahoma, organizing temples and chambers. Centerville, Ala., May 16.—Thirty-six Negro convicts lost their lives early today when the stokade of the Red Feather Coal company at Lucille was destroyed by fire that was set by one of the prisoners in an effort to gain his freedom. Thirty-five of the convicts were burned to death, and another was fatally shot by guards while trying to escape. Among them is the Negro who started the blaze. It was with difficulty that the other convicts in the stockade were prevented from eluding the guards. The financial loss will reach several thousand dollars. The fire had gained such headway as to be beyond control when the guards and other men on the outside of the stockade discovered it. At the risk of their own lives, they rushed into the burning building, freeing many of the convicts from their cells. The necessary division of their forces to guard the prisoners who were hurried outside greatly hampered the rescue work. The wood of which the stockade was built burned like tinder, and in an hour after the flames were discovered the spot was marked only by glowing embers and the bodies of the dead convicts.

Thomas Edwards, formerly a member of the Colorado Legislature, fell dead Tuesday at his home in Long Beach, Calif. The Denver city election Tuesday resulted in a defeat for the water company's proposed new twenty-year franchise and a victory for the "wet" element. Fire of unknown origin Sunday almost wiped out the little town of Bonanza, thirty miles east of Klamath Falls. The loss is about $50,000, with little insurance. Dr. B. C. Hyde was found guilty at Kansas City Monday of murder in the first degree in the Swope case. His punishment will be imprisonment for life. When the Hotel Adams burned at Phoenix, Ariz., Tuesday, it had 100 guests, and as those accounted for number many short of that, it is feared some lost their lives. Fern Willis and Vergie Grant, elopers from Wray, Colo., were apprehend in Omaha and returned home by Sheriff Devlin of Wray. Willis is 26 and the girl 14 years of age. A San Pedro train which left Los Angeles Dec. 31, arrived at Salt Lake Tuesday, 137 days on the way. It was marooned at Caliente, Nev., with miles of track washed out on both sides of that place. Dr. Charles G. Lamb, state veterinarian of Colorado, has been advised by Chief Melvin at Washington that Colorado cattle must be dipped before being moved interstate, or in the case of shipments of exposed cattle that the cars be placarded and the billing must be marked in accordance with the department regulations in order that the cattle may be properly handled at market centers. GENERAL Four Italians, a man, his wife and their two children, lost their lives in a fire that destroyed a Brooklyn tenement Sunday. A dispatch from Yonkers, N. Y., says that as a result of too close application to her literary labors, Mrs. F. C. Herriot, known on the stage as Clara Morris, is threatened with total blindness. A battery of seven boilers at the plant of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Company, Canton, Ohio, exploded Tuesday, killing thirteen men and injuring thirty, several of whom died later. Rioting followed the initiation of a kosher meat strike at Cincinnati on Monday. Angry women invaded markets, threw kerosene on the stock and attacked other women who had bought meat. William E. Hudson of James A. Patten's grain firm, Bartlett, Patten & Co., was held to the federal grand jury at Chicago on Monday for refusing to give certain information to a census enumerator. Simin H. Hickler, for fourteen years editor in chief of the Waechter Und Anzeiger, a German newspaper at Cleveland, Ohio, died Monday night as the result of an automobile accident. Mr. Hickler, with his wife and two children, was driving in an automobile yesterday when his hat blew off. He dismounted to recover it and was knocked down by the car which the chauffeur accidentally backed into film. His skull was fractured. John D. Rockefeller, always popular among the people of Tarrytown, N. Y., where he lives, is adding to that popularity this spring by his fondness for taking his friends and neighbors out driving. Not a pleasant day goes by without the oil king inviting some of them, men, women and children, to ride with him in automobile or carriage, and it is safe to say that the invitations are seldom declined, for his vehicles are the best to be had, and the drives around Tarrytown are beautiful. Mr. Rockefeller, before starting for a ride, always dons a paper vest declaring it a great protection against colds, and he insists that his guests do the same. After the ride he refuses to take back the garments, and consequently in nearly every home in Tarrytown may be found a paper vest preserved as a souvenir of a delightful ride with the multi-millionaire. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey on Monday declared a dividend for the quarter of $9 a share, the same amount as was declared at this time last year. J. W.

Advices from Guayaquil Tuesday said: "More troops are being rushed to the frontier. An artillery brigade, splendidly equipped, left for Machala, in the southwestern part of Ecuador. Congress will meet in extraordinary session June 1 to deal with trouble with Peru." Simple ceremonies marked the removal Tuesday of the body of Edward VII. from Buckingham palace to Westminster hall, but more impressive than the presence of kings and the gorgeous uniforms of state officials and officers of the army and navy was the silent grief displayed by the British people. American passengers who arrived at New Orleans Tuesday from Bluefields confirmed the report that the Marietta Di Giorgio, a Norwegian steamer in the service of the Bluefields Steamship Company, was seized at her wharf at Bluefields May 5 by insurgents, who sent her to join the Ometepe and Blanca, small gunboats, on an expedition against the steamer Venus. The commission appointed April 23 to inquire into the expulsion of Jews residing illegally in Kiev, Russia, and elsewhere outside the pale, has finished its labors.

The water company's proposed twenty-year franchise was defeated by several thousand and the "wets" carried the day on the local option issue by more than 10,000. Of the election commissioners and aldermen the Democrats, Citizens and Republicans each secured representatives, with the Democrats probably preponderating. Good Roads Convention. Denver.—Denver is to have one of the largest good roads conventions ever held in the West the latter part of May or early in June. Besides a majority of the county commissioners throughout Colorado, there will be hundreds of delegates from Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. By June 1, the automobile highways running from Denver to Golden, Colorado Springs, Brighton, Longmont and Craigs will all be completed and in fine shape. The visitors will be taken over these and shown the efforts Colorado is making to improve her highways. Coldest May Day in 39 Years. Denver.—May 16, 1910, was the coldest May 16th in thirty-nine years, according to the records of Forecaster Brandenburg. The lowest temperature was thirty degrees and the highest sixty-five degrees. One-half inch of snow fell altogether. In the fruit districts of the Western slope a frost warning was sent out Monday night and the smudge pots were put to work. Grand Junction reported a temperature near freezing, but the farmers there believe that the crop will not be injured. From the Fruit Districts. Montrose—Although the thermometer dropped to 28 Tuesday night, there was no perceptible damage to fruit. Paonia.—Manager Clark of the Fruit Growers' association says there was no damage in the orchards here from the freeze Tuesday night. The temperature was 26. Glenwood Springs.—The freeze in this section damaged peaches, cherries and apples. Near New Castle, the orchards are in worse condition than in the vicinity of Glenwood. Loveland.—The temperature went two below freezing Tuesday night and tender garden vegetables were frozen except where protected. Fruit that escaped the last freeze is damaged. The raspberry crop is unhurt. Brush.—The mercury fell to 26 late Tuesday night and it is estimated that half the gardens have been ruined and 20 per cent. of the beet crop lost. It is not too late to replant. Greeley.—This vicinity was visited by a heavy frost Tuesday night, and from all over Weld county come reports that young alfalfa, garden crops and early potatoes were badly injured. La Junta.—A light freeze throughout this section did no damage to fruit and other crops are in fine condition. Greeley Street Cars Running Greeley Street Cars Inc.

The election is over, and while the results may not have been satisfactory to many, the will of the people have declared themselves as to what they want, and it remains to be seen as to what it will be, better or worse. The normal condition of business was not effected by the unsettled election, nor will it be as the results of it, at least that is the general sentiment of the people. It was a strenuous fight from all oppositions and barring the local option issue it was a close contest, the local option being defeated by a majority that runs up in the thousands. CAMPAIGN BITTERNESS. An unique combination of varied issues, some so widely different as to be beyond the possibility of reconciliation, made the recent municipal campaign a remarkable one. The introduction of these various issues at convenient intervals served to make the recent campaign about the longest campaign that Denver has ever experienced. The campaign, however, was largely an educational campaign, partaking much of the character of an intellectual and statistical contest, and, as such, would not have seriously worn upon the nerves of the active participants if it had not been for the bitter personalities injected by those professional partisans, who seem to think that political campaigns present the only possible opportunities to air personal animosities or extravagant ideas of individual malefactions and shortcomings. This phase of a political campaign is decidedly unpleasant to any person possessed of a normal idea of decency and fair play. The idea that the directors and chief officials of all corporations forced into politics are necessarily confirmed criminals, whose principal object in life is to study out schemes by which a helpless public may be continually and perpetually blinded and muleted out of uncompensated millions of dollars, is, to say the least, demoralizing, and well calculated to set the people at odds with forces upon which, at times, they are absolutely compelled to rely, and which, without any doubt, play an important and underpaid part in the progress and well-being of every large municipality. It is well to bear in mind that campaign agitations, especially of a personal and malicious character, are not usually heavenborn, and that the charges bandied and hurled promiscuously at victims presumably hated and despised, would better find effective expression in a court of justice, if true. The injustice of campaigns of this character is sure to leave its marks upon the reputation of the community to a larger degree than upon the standing of the individuals assailed, and for that reason alone they always should be suspicioned and condemned. There is an orderly and decent method provided for the punishment of all infractions of public morals and all flagrant departures from the paths of rectitude on the part of either individuals or corporate aggregations, and until this method of judicial regulation is proved impotent, it is inconsistent and more than unjust to attempt to establish public distrust of public tribunals along with public condemnation of individuals whose only apparent offense has been the ardent pursuance of legitimate business interests. The Colorado Statesman takes pride in the course it pursued in the recent campaign, in keeping constantly in the fight and discussing the issues from honest, moral and intellectual motives, without indulging in bitter personalities, unwarranted by the actual conduct of individuals. That our reasoning and our advice was appreciated and followed by a confiding and unabused constituency, we have been continually assured by many persons competent to judge the value of such a course. THE DAY OF GREAT THINGS. The president of one of the great American universities declares that we are entering an era of great industrial and social change, which will, in due course of years, revolutionize business methods and commercial conditions and work still greater changes in the alignment of social classes. The breaking up of great industrial and trade combinations and their equitable readjustment in harmony with the future welfare of the people is to be accompanied, or followed, by the supremacy of higher and purer ideas regarding the universal rights of men, regardless of wealth or class. These are not the exact words used by the learned lecturer, but they express in a general way the ideas advanced by him. That industrial development which has been responsible for the creation of the trusts and the establishment of their unrivaled power over the affairs of the people, has reached and passed its natural zenith and must give way to a wider distribution of those benefits which the few have grown to regard as their sole right. And the dethronement of the unrighteous masters is to inure to the moral benefit of society in general, according to the far-seeing professor. Another observer of great movements has been pointing out to the people of Europe that the tendency of the world is toward the republican form of government, under which the responsibility as well as the liberty of the individuals is increased; and also, that while the progress of the world has been founded upon war throughout all history, the demand for righteous and universal peace, for the sake of future progress, is now a new world movement. The things which have engaged men most in the past one hundred, or, perhaps, one thousand years, are the things which will change men most in the coming centuries. For whatever the causes leading up to it may be, the conscience of the world seems to be growing. There is less toleration for tyranny and more regard for the weak and helpless than there used to be. Nations are rooting out century-old institutions whose once boasted practices have become haunting memories. Responding to the influence that makes nations more righteous, the tardy and perverse individual yields and makes the way clear for a new order of things. So it will be with many of the conditions that we have intimately known. The day of great things and of great changes is with us, and an era of greater righteousness is dawning. By THURDE RAYLE BRUCE HATEVER objections preachers and reformers may raise to the summer resort, the working girl will always have a warm corner in her heart for it. The poorer she is, the harder she has to work for her money, the more removed she is from society, from pleasure and amusements, the more enchanting, the more alluring the summer resort is to her and the more fun she gets out of it when she goes there for the brief space of one or two weeks. The reason for this love which the working girl bestows upon the summer resort, together with her hard earned twenty-five or thirty dollars, is the fact the summer resort is becoming a valuable social asset to her. In addition to the large amount of genuine pleasure and fun which the girl crowds in in her week or two weeks' sojourn at such a place, which make her life brighter and happier the rest of the year, she gains new interests in life, she makes new acquaintances and new friends. A week's stay at a summer resort likewise widens the girl's attainments. She sees and meets different people with different views and a different outlook in life; she has new things to think and to talk about. "The summer resort," said a woman who has given much time to the study of the conditions of working girls in large cities, "is becoming a factor in the girl's life in proportion to the lack of pleasure and enjoyment, to the lack of home atmosphere and home feeling which she has, or rather does not have, in the city. "The homeless woman is rather new. She has risen with the rise of industry in the last fifteen or twenty years. But wherever the homeless woman is found her problems and her difficulties are great. In Chicago a working girl is a thousand times more lonely than she is in a small town, unless she has a large family and many acquaintances there. "To make acquaintances in the city, when you have to be constantly on the guard that your expenses do not exceed your earnings, is mighty difficult. A large city offers fine chances for homelessness and loneliness even for men, who have a thousand more places to go, a thousand more ways to make friends, than a girl has. "It is for this reason that so many working girls save and skimp and economize all the year around in order to be able to go out for a couple of weeks to a summer resort. The atmosphere there is conducive to making friends and acquaintances. For two weeks at least people at the summer resort throw aside a good many of their conventionalities." P. M. But fond as is the working girl of the summer resort, the working girl's mother is still fonder of it—not for herself, but for her daughter. Many a mother who is deliberate and cautious with every cent that she spends will willingly part with $30 which she has saved with difficulty in order to send her daughter for a two weeks' vacation to a summer resort. It is not pride, either, that makes her do it, but prudence. More than one mother could scarcely recognize her daughter when she came back from such a two weeks' outing. The girl who had hitherto lacked all interest in life suddenly aroused herself. Meeting other people she discovered her own qualities. Fashions Change With People's Progress By MRS. EZRA A. BATES would seem shockingly immodest in another period. Exceedingly low neck dresses were worn in the streets at one time and during that period women wore flounces and all sorts of puffs about their hips to disguise the natural lines. It would not have seemed one degree more startling for a woman to wear a decollete street gown today than for a woman to wear the closely fitting skirts that we see in these days. The fashions change to fit the times and they probably always will change. It may be that we will have a uniform dress for women some time, but it will not be seen in the next 50 years, I am sure. Make It Hard for Census Taker By HERBERT T. GEORGE Then there is the native American tiller of the soil, who ought to know better, but who is nearly as hard to deal with as the alien. He opines that the man from the census bureau who wants to know about values of land and crops and cattle may be a sly emissary whose real intent is to squeeze more taxes out of the rural denizens, as well, maybe, as to depress the price of farm products. If they were only better informed they would know that assessors and collectors of taxes are not allowed to act as census enumerators and so, instead of underestimating the output of their fields and ranches, they would give the correct figures and thereby put their localities in the rank justly belonging to them. W Broadens Working Girl's Mind Besides Affording Much Pleasure From the standpoint of an old-fashioned woman it would seem that the women of today have grown a little away from the simplicity of the styles of 50 years ago. And yet I should hesitate to say that they have developed a spirit of immodesty. Life itself has changed in the last 50 years. It has become more rapid, more intense, more free in every way. It is natural that dress—the expression of an individual in a very decided way—should change, too. Modesty, however, is but a comparative term. What would seem modest now Census enumerators, as I know by experience, always have a hard time with two classes—foreigners in our big cities and farmers. The newly arrived foreigner is plainly suspicious of the federal official who comes around to ask him questions. At home he knew their mission had to do only with relieving him of money in the guise of taxes or was related to his military duty. He does not know that in this land of the free and home of the brave Uncle Sam is collecting data for purely economic and scientific reasons and has no designs on his THE BROADHURST CARTER SHOE CO. --- 823 Sixteenth St. We Are Denver Agents for the Nettleton Shoe FOR MEN $6, $7, and $8, Pair S&H GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. - OPP JOSLINS Regular Slaughter Sale of LADIES' TAILORED SUITS Commences Here Today Our entire stock of Ladies' Tailored Cloth Suits will go on sale at prices that are fully 1-3 Below Regular Values We have about 250 of them to close out; want to make room for hot weather garments, and to move them quickly we will cut the prices now as they have never been cut before at this season of the year.

Her many acquaintances of this ‘city will remember ‘the little ‘slave girl, as she was known here, coming to us from Georgia, a few years ago, with white people who held her as their personal property, the authorities of the city thought it necessary, through a request of the colored people, to relieve this white family of their property. She was then sent to school by Mrs. Mont- gomery. Upon growing into wo- manhood she married one of our best men, About a year ago she deserted her happy home and in- fant baby boy and eloped with a ‘common rounder to Denver, thence to Pteblo, where she met her tragic death. The husband, Charlie Fields, and a fine baby boy of this city survive the wayward-woman. Samuel West, a sufferer from tubereulosis, died at the Sister’s hospital last Monday.

Nine hundred million dollars’ worth of Agricultural products were export ed from the United States last year, according to the bureau of statistics in the department of commerce and labor, Secretary Wilson says that the tots 1 was $8,776,000,000, so that a lit- tle more than 10 per cent. of our farm preducts were sold abroad and the horie consumers had to be content with the remaining nine-ttenths. This is 2 healthy condition, but doubtless helps to explain the high price of pro vis‘ons in this country. Secretary Wi'son thinks the high prices are due to the fact that there are too few fariners and too many distributers, too many young men rushing to the city, instead of staying home and tilling the soil. If we are to supply Burope as well as America with food stuffs we must increase the number of farm- ers with the increase of our popula- tion, and if farming is made and con- tinues sufficiently profitable there will be no lack of farmers. The poor re wards of farming in the past have driven the farmer boys to other pur- suits. There will be a cry of “back to the farm” as soon as it is clear that there is money in farming com- mensurate with the toll which it ex: acts from those whose livelihood is the cultivation of the soil. Not so many years ago “farmer” was about as scornful a slang term as could be applied to anybody who blun- dered, stumbled or “got in bad.” But what would the average man in the streets say to-day if somebody shouted at him “You farmer?” Wouldn't he throw his chest out and spring a smile as broad as if he owned a gold mine?

Mr. Wise—Why did you mention Sunday? BABY WASTED TO SKELETON "My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. "My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed directions. At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. "I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different families and it is always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Cuticura Remedies.

DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS FOR ALL KIDNEY DISEASES FOR RHEUMATISM BRIGHT'S DISEASE DIABETES, BACKACHE CALLER 375 "Guaranteed warranty" IS TRIMMED IN GOLD IS TRIMMED IN GOLD HEAD OF GODDESS ON CAPITOL DOME DECORATED. Miss Freedom Had Threatened Destruction of Washington by Lightning If Men Milliners Did Not Fill Her Order. Platinum, more precious than gold, and the yellow metal itself were the basis of the scheme for trimming this year's bonnet for Miss Freedom on the dome of the capitol in Washington. LAW SERVICE The precarious task of adorning the head of the goddess, 287 feet above the pavement, has been accomplished. She stands today resplendent, challenging all comers to compete with her in the hats of the season as regards novelty of design, beauty or expense. Miss Freedom has not had a newly trimmed bonnet before for five years and this abstinence accentuates her present pleasure. With dignified reserve she has watched the passing of the Easters and the consequent frenzy of the millinery world and has made no protest. Merry widows, peach baskets, toques and turbans have come and gone without her participation in their blandishments. But recently she tired of neglect. She sent her ultimatum to Elliott Woods, the superintendent of the building, saying that if he did not provide her with an Easter bonnet of the very best material she would allow a bolt of lightning to rend the capitol asunder. There was a scientific possibility of her making good on this threat and the necessary trimmings were forthcoming. It was this way: The goddess, in her exalted position almost among the clouds, is exposed to the lightning. Jove loves a fair mark and he hurls his thunderbolts at her from May to October. It is a matter of record that the bolts find her on an average of three times a year. They rend her headdress and burn blackened stripes down her sides. But otherwise she suffers little injury. This fact is due largely to her bonnet. It is specially constructed to successfully handle lightning. The best of all conductors of electricity is platinum. Platinum tips are used on all the projections of the bonnet of the goddess. Next, as a conductor of electricity comes gold, a less expensive metal, but still ornamental. The platinum tips have bases that are plated with gold. They are screwed into the statue and form a part of it. Whenever there is lightning playing in the vicinity this combination of conductors coaxes it into their lair and disperses it. It passes from the platinum and gold tips to the bronze of the staele itself and from this finds its way to the iron on the roof of the capitol dome and the whole great building. Broken into a hundred parts, each inoffensive fragment seeks the ground. When Al Porch, the rigger and the especial attendant of the goddess, went up recently to see her, he brought down with him the tips that had served their time, and each bore the mute record of a mighty stroke of lightning. They were fused and new ones were needed which would cost $50 apiece. With the valuable hat ornaments, the men milliners went aloft to perform their dangerous task. The mounting into the very presence of freedom is no mean task. Rarely is it accomplished by any other method than that of scaling ladders. For 60 feet before the top of the statue is reached the ascent must be on such ladders; that is, when any one other than Al Porch does it. This rigger has long made the very pinnacle of the capitol his playground. He has practically lived there for 42 years. The upper dome has come to be a passion with him. A spry little man of 64, he runs about those great heights as the ordinary man walks the streets. Once he slipped away from the goddess and was dashed from projection to projection down the base. Altogether he fell 50 feet. With one arm broken he clung with his legs, dangling over the abyss below which would have meant certain death if his hold had loosened. Yet later he climbed one after another of the pillars that support the statue in an attempt to capture an escaped canary bird and finally succeeded. Many times since he has scaled the statue to its top without the help of a ladder. He does this by working himself into the folds of the garments of Miss Freedom, and so bracing himself as to get inexplicable holds. The only picture ever taken of the face of the goddess was gotten by a photographer whom Al Porch virtually carried up the ladders to that dizzy height. The top of the bonnet of the goddess boasts a sort of flat rosette. It is 10 inches by 12 inches. On the face that it offers to the sky are chiseled four names that have not been read there by half a dozen persons. They are the names of Abraham Lincoln, president of the United States at the time the statue was put in place; M. G. Meggs, government architect and designer of many public buildings; Thomas Crawford, the modeler of the goddess, and A. D. Porch. The last name was not carved by the men who erected the statue. Its chiseling is crude and rough. TAFT THE HANDSOMEST MAN Sculptor Declares President Has More Force Than Roosevelt If Crisis Should Demand. "I believe the president is the hand-somest man in public life," said Robert I. Aitkin, the sculptor, who has been in Washington to make a model for a bust of the chief executive for the artists' fair fund. Mr. Aitkin is proud of the wax figure which he has made and which is the first bust of President Taft and also the only one modeled entirely on the president's private desk at the White House. The bust was made while the president was working, and Mr. Aitkin invented a collapsible box which enabled him to let the model down on any part of the desk, so that he might view the president from any position as he attended to his official duties. Mr. Aitkin says: "Some people will say he is too heavy, but after you have been with him a few minutes you forget his weight entirely. He impresses you merely as a 'big man.' You are only aware of the firmness of his face and the counterbalancing firmness of his features. "I have studied the faces of all the men who called upon him daily, particularly the cabinet officers, the senators and representatives, and I found none that compared with his. "Mr. Taft is a very difficult man to model. It is so easy to burlesque and caricature him, without producing the real man. His forehead and eyebrows, with the little sag above the eyes, is full of force and determination. He has the prominent bulges that denote perception. The tremendous power latent in these characteristics is not hard to express in marble. "The difficulty comes in showing the gentleness of his eyes. They are eyes of great depth and of unusual kindness and candor. Yet it was his eyes that convinced me he had even more force than Roosevelt, were he ever called upon to show it at a crisis." The manner in which the artist did the modeling is really interesting. "The president," he says, "sat on one side of the long desk, with his back to the light from the four windows, and his secretary, Mr. Carpenter, opposite. The light was a bad handicap, and I was forced to work from every angle of the desk. Often Mr. Carpenter gave up his seat that I might get a better view, but in general the work of the office went on as if I were not there. "The necessity of adjusting the position of the wax to the position of the president's face, instead of adjusting the subject's face to the position of the model, was another handicap, but this was overcome by a simple mechanism which allowed me to tilt and slant the model whenever the president changed the position of his head. The result was that I practically had a continuous sitting for six days while the president went on with his office routine, dictating, receiving callers and conferring, without giving much time to the usual posing." WILEY DISCUSSES SERVANTS Make Bad Bread and Cause Bad American Stomachs, Says Government Chemist. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley branched out a few nights ago as an expert on the servant problem and incidentally rapped American bread and American bread making as one of the contributing causes of bad American stomachs. He spoke before the housekeepers' Alliance at the residence of Mrs. Appleton P. Clark, in Washington. "The chief reason for the trouble experienced in getting good servants," said Doctor Wiley, "is the fact that society in this country has not crystallized into more or less defined social strata as in Europe. Here all aspire to rise above menial duties, and there is practically no servant class to draw from. What does exist is among the failures and immigrants." A second factor was the problem of bread making, Doctor Wiley said, and still another the adulteration of food products, including flour and other materials used in making the staple of life. "American bread," he continued, "as it is consumed by the general public is the worst imaginable thing of its kind, practically uncooked and unfermented when it is presumed to be ready for consumption. The so-called bakers' bread is made of a third-rate flour, or that part of flour remaining after the best part of it has been extracted to be sold as the patent product. This remnant is chemicalized and otherwise 'doctored' to an alarming extent." Mrs. Ellen Marshall Rugg, president of the alliance, announced that the alliance members were considering a plan of accumulating data, such as the health, appearance, habits and character of present and past servants coming under their observation. The information so gathered will be used in classifying servants in grades for future reference. Senate Gets the Best of It. If the proposition for the enlargement of the capitol grounds, which has met with favor in the senate, goes through, the senate, as usual, will get the best of the deal. It is proposed to take the land between the Union station and the capitol and make it a large park. As this land lies between the senate wing and the station, the park will be for the benefit of the senate side. The only way the house can get even is to take property on the south side of the capitol and transform it into a park A Storekeeper Says: "A lady came into my store lately and said: "I have been using a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove all winter in my apartment.

I told them of my experience, and one after another they got one, and now, not one of them would give hers up for five times its cost." The lady who said this had thought an oil stove was all right for quickly heating milk for a baby, or boiling a kettle of water, or to make coffee quickly in the morning, but she never dreamed of using it for difficult or heavy cooking. Now—she knows. Do you really appreciate what a New Perfection Oil Cook-Stove means to you? No more coal to carry, no more coming to the kitchen.

Ill-fitting doors and windows represent a happy hunting ground for the disturbing winds. In fact, so annoying does the constant rattle of these openings become that many determined individuals, who resolve to admit the fresh air, choose the lesser of two evils and close the openings in preference to sleepless nights. This can be remedied if a small wedge of wood be driven in at the side of an open window; a door can be prevented from rattling if a pad or strip of thick felt be nailed on the edge of the door. The annoyance of creaking drawers can be eliminated by rubbing common soap upon the top, sides and bottom of each. Creaking hinges on anything should be well oiled, while the grating, irritating noise of a sewing machine can be overcome in a similar manner. The little noises wear away the patience that is required for other things. It were foolish to dissipate energy through the channels of irritated nerves when a little time will obviate the nuisances.

Speaking before the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis recently, Dr. Henry Farnum Stoll of Hartford, Conn., said: "Every city should have one or more outdoor schools." He recommended such institutions for all delicate, so-called scrofulous or anaemic children, and those with tuberculosis of the bones, who are now in ordinary schools. Doctor Stoll declared that twenty to forty per cent. of school children in large cities are infected with tuberculosis. By the use of tuberculin, it was ascertained that 79 per cent. of the children from tuberculous homes were infected as against only 26 per cent. of those from supposedly healthy homes. It was also found that 50 per cent. of the frail children from healthy homes had the germs of the disease, but that only 13 per cent. of the robust children from similar homes were thus affected.

As there was no room to barrack them over night, the soldiers bivouaced in the parks and streets. The city had the appearance of an invested town for two days. Some of the soldiers slept in tents in the parks, while the remalnder lay down beside their guns in the streets. At a conservative estimate 700,000 persons passed through Westminster hall to look upon the coffin of the king lying in state. Barriers were built, by means of which the people were ushered through in four lines at the rate of 18,000 an hour. The body of the late king was not exposed to view. Queen Mother Chose Hymns. The hymns sung at the service at Windsor were all of the queen mother's choice. They were "My God, My Father, While I Stray," "Now the Laborer's Task Is O'er," and "I Heard a Voice From Heaven." Scotland yard had all its detectives on duty, and these were reinforced by a hundred more from continental cities. All visitors were watched, but there was little real fear of anarchistic attempts, because it was known that every one under surveillance would be deported from England if any trouble were caused on this occasion, and it was not likely that the persons of the anarchist type would give up voluntarily their safest refuge in Europe. The procession to Westminster hall May 17 for the lying in state was almost on as great a scale as the funeral procession. The cortege included King George and all the foreign sovereigns on horseback, and the queen mother and the royal ladies in carriages. When the funeral procession started every street car in London came to a standstill for a quarter of an hour. All the public houses in London were closed while the procession was passing. No Distinction Shown. There was no distinction as to person nor were there any ticket privileges for the lying in state in Westminster hall. All had to take their turn in line. At St. George's chapel, at Windsor, from whence the body was carried to its final resting place the carved stalls were removed in order to give place to timber seating. Otherwise not a tenth of those entitled to attend would have been able to enter. The chapel was draped with violet hangings. The service held in Westminster abbey did not form any part of the royal funeral. It was a memorial service held especially for those members of the house of lords and house of commons, who were unable to go to Windsor. Electric standards were fixed around the place in Westminster hall where the catafalque stood. The public was admitted until ten o'clock at night. The catafalque occupied the spot on which Gladstone's catafalque stood. The coffin was sealed and draped and surmounted by some of the royal regalia and King Edward's field marshal's sword.

GEORGE'S CHAPEL, WINDSOR, FROM WHENCE, AFTER THE FINAL CEREMONIES THE BODY OF THE LATE KING WAS CONVEYED TO THE MAUSOLEUM. The court removed to Windsor the day before the funeral. The archbishop of Canterbury, assisted by Canon Wilberforce, conducted a short service at Westminster hall on the arrival of the body on May 17. The members of both houses of parliament attended this service. Neither M. Loubet, M. Delcasse nor M. Clementea formed part of the French mission to attend the funeral of King Edward. Premier Briand intended to go, but also gave up the idea, owing to the fact that Emperor William was there. Under these circumstances the mission was purely formal. It consisted of M. Pichon, minister of foreign affairs; General Dalstein, military governor of Paris; Admiral Marquis and an attache representing President Fallieres. Roosevelt Among the Monarchs. Ex-President Roosevelt, who was named as special envoy of the United States to attend the funeral of King Edward, was presented to King George soon after his arrival in London. Mr. Roosevelt occupied a place with the visiting monarchs in the funeral procession and attended the burial at Windsor. Jackies Drew Carriage. King George being so closely identified with the navy, the naval contingents took a prominent part in the ceremonies. Bluejackets drew the gun carriage to Windsor, as they did the carriage which bore the body of Victoria, although on that occasion they did so because the horses became restive. Soldiers from the king's company, grenadier guards, kept sentry watch over the body in the throneroom at Buckingham palace. They were relieved each hour. With simple ceremony some one of the visiting royalties entered the room every now and then, and the widowed queen went there frequently. Body In Magnificent Tomb. The body of King Edward lies with that of his immediate ancestors in the magnificent mausoleum at Frogmore, in the Home park of Windsor castle. In this structure, erected by Queen Victoria at a cost of $1,000,000, Prince Albert Edward, father of the late king, was laid to rest in 1861. In the same year Queen Victoria's mother, the duchess of Kent, was buried in an elaborate tomb in the grounds near by. In 1901 Queen Victoria herself was buried in the mausoleum beside her husband. The structure is probably one of the most elaborate of the kind in existence. It was planned in minute detail by Queen Victoria as a memorial to the prince consort. The general public is not admitted to the chamber where lie the royal bodies in two immense sarcophagi, but the spot is a great magnet for tourists, dozens of whom inspect the marble mausoleum daily. Queen Mother's Grief Deep. The successive delays in the removal of King Edward's body from the bedroom where he died to the throne room at Buckingham palace were due to Queen Alexandra's reluctance to allow the body to be removed from the proximity of her own apartments. All arrangements had been made for the reception of the body in the throne room and notices were issued to members of the household that they would be permitted to view the body lying in state there, but day by day the removal was postponed and the invitations deferred. The queen's private apartments communicate directly with those of the late king, and it is not known how often she visited the room in which her dead husband lay or the duration of the vigils she made there, but it is said her sister, the dowager empress of Russia, feared her grief might prove too great a strain. During the later years of the king's life he and the queen were on the most excellent terms of friendship and good feeling. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say they were deeply attached to one another. The king was most kind and considerate in his attitude toward his consort, who valued highly the attentions he always showed her. Only those intimately acquainted with both the written and unwritten political history of the last nine years knew how great a figure was Edward in controlling great issues in times of international crises of the first magnitude. His influence was the more conspicuous, perhaps, because British public life today contains no statesmen in either party of more than mediocre ability. This makes England's sense of loss the keener. King's Consideration for Consort. For years they had been, to quote an informant of credit, "the best of pals," and while the inclusion in the list published in the papers of a house party at Sandringham of a certain woman's name caused some astonishment in general society, there was considerable the more astonishment among those in the inner circles of court life at the efforts made by a foreign ambassador to suppress any mention of the woman's name in the list of guests who were invited to meet the king at his country house. Queen Alexandra herself, by a letter which the London Times described as artless, has shown how deeply she is affected by the death of her consort. Authoritative details of what passed on the day of Queen Alexandra's return to England show in what regard King Edward held his queen. On that Thursday before his death Edward was continually speaking of her majesty to his entourage. In the morning he announced his intention to go to the station to meet her on her arrival, and when he was forced to bow to the advice of his physicians in this matter he said he would at least meet her at the head of the stairs in Buckingham palace. From the day she landed in England as Princess Alexandra, he said, he had never failed to meet her when she came from abroad. He followed all stages of her journey, and as the day wore on and his condition became worse he gave instructions that she was to be guarded against the shock of seeing suddenly how changed by illness he was. There are two doors to the room in which his majesty died—one facing the invalid chair in which he was reclining, the other at the side. He directed that the queen be brought in at the side door, so she should see him in the most favorable aspect. When the queen arrived King Edward, by an effort which taxed his powers to the utmost, stood up to receive her. As she clasped him in her arms he fell back into the chair in a state of collapse. For a time it was feared the end was at hand.

DROVE HUSBAND FROM HOME Act of Militant Suffragette That Was Too Arbitrary to Be Upheld by the Court. The results that may ensue from being married to a suffragette were revealed the other day in a London (Eng.) suburban police court. Mrs. Tunnicliffe took up the cause and was not able to spend much time at home. When the husband remonstrated she simply commanded her daughter to pack her father's gripsack and there and then ordered him out of the house. He went, and then the lady sued him for desertion and demanded alimony. "But surely you did not take it so feebly?" asked the magistrate of the husband. "It was no use objecting," was the answer. "She wanted to be master and said that if I annoyed her she would lock me up. I was only too anxious to go back home, but she would not let me." The case was dismissed. HELP FOR THE AGED. No Need to Longer Suffer from Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Catherine Sullivan, 1712 Moffatt St., Joplin, Mo., says: "Like most elderly people, I suffered from kidney trouble for years. My back ached intensely and there was a feeling of numbness in my spine. My hands cramped and the urinary passages were profuse. Doctors prescribed for me but I was not benefited. At last I tensely and there was a feeling of numbness in my spine. My hands cramped and the urinary passages were profuse. Doctors prescribed for me but I was not benefited. At last I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. They drove my troubles away, and I now enjoy excellent health." Remember the name-Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

"The chap who works on one side of me," said an office man, "has been married six weeks and he sneaks to the telephone about four times a day and calls up his wife, and then I hear him saying: 'Dear, how is your headache now? I hope you are feeling better.' Then pretty soon he comes back to his desk and goes to work again all smiling. "The man who works on the other side of me has been married six years and he goes to the telephone only when he's called and then I hear him saying: 'Why, I can't possibly do that, I can't spare the money;' and then he comes back to his desk all scowling. "And, really, when I hear the way these two men go on I don't know what to do. I don't know whether to get married or to stay a bachelor."

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street THE FILM OF "THE LADY OF THE RING" BY JOHN B. HARRIS, WITH A FILM BY JOHN B. HARRIS, AND A FILM BY JOHN B. HARRIS. DRESS COMMENT. Black chiffon tunics over blue or green or orange satin foundations are among the more favored styles. Lace is more and more claiming the attention for trimming hats and gowns. Black and white are most used, and when decorating skirts it is adjusted in flouces or as a tunic. Old gold silk for afternoon and evening wear is being combined with Chantilly lace. Cloth of gold and silver tissue comes again to a supple and glistening rescue when the dull rose and mahogany shades cry for a contrasting touch. Yards and yards of shaded or changeable ribbon will be devoted to the hats in enormous loops, bows and scarfs. Figured silks are vying with two-toned effects for street and house dresses. Large flat hats have appeared with flowers in wreaths encircling the low crowns. This style is becoming to nine out of ten women, for it is undeniable that the long, sweeping lines of hats will add to the charm of the face beneath, and they are rarely trying to the wearer on account of stiff or straight effects. DRESSING JACKET. - This jacket is in klimono style; the entire edge being cut in rather large scallops that are bound with contrasting material cut on the cross. If the jacket is in lawn, muslin, or zephyr, the binding would be in zephyr; if jacket is in nun's velling or delaine, then silk would be used for binding. Materials required: Two yards 40 inches wide. Use for a Lace Gown. Now that transparent overdraperies are so much in vogue, those women who possess a half-worn lace gown should resurrect it. White, black or a color may be utilized. White or cream chiffon should vell laces in these shades, but black may be used under black chiffon or a dark color, such as a dull wine red. Colored laces may be covered with chiffon in the same shade, using a different tone—lighter or darker, as considered the better choice—or a color harmonizing with the lace.

MANY ARTICLES IN PURSE Remarkable Ingenuity Displayed in Design and Workmanship of Parisian Jeweler. A useful purse, just imported from Paris, is made of pearl colored glazed leather, lined with watered silk with a very unostentatious gold clasp. It is simple enough, and quite demure outwardly, but its interior contains unusual treasures for so unsuspecting an exterior. Besides the usual compartments for change, bills and visiting cards, there is fitted neatly under a gray leather flap a small mirror. In a compartment next to this is a beautiful little cut glass and silver mounted vinaigrette, and in the corresponding compartment a powder box with a little puff. In the other side of the wonderful little purse is another compartment containing a small pair of chased silver opera glasses mounted in mother-of-pearl, and last, but most surprising of all, because it is so carefully hidden in the uppermost fold of the purse, is an exquisite tiny fan of ivory and spangled gauze. Never have so many vanities been gathered together so neatly and compactly to delight a lady's heart inside of one little insignificant and inconspicuous flat gray purse not six inches square. It can be called the much in little purse. New Petticoats. If you expect to make your own pet ticoats, select while muslin, blue chambray, tan chambray, white insertion or unbleached muslin and gingham for bands. In making the unbleached muslin petticoat cut the skirten in goings and attach a flounce. Trim the flounce with a narrow band of gingham and head it with a fold of gingham. Both materials will wash nicely. In selecting a muslin by all means eliminate lime-filled. It is cheap and soon turns yellow. If a ruffle of swiss embroidery is used select the kind with small notched edges and it will be less liable to tear. If laces are wanted the Valenciennes are durable, but a heavier linen variety can be used over and over again. For a chambray petticoat a net ruffle gives a pretty effect. Curtain net will serve the purpose. Hem it and head the hem with a very narrow fold of petticoat material. Three small bands look pretty on it. A serviceable petticoat is made of black or navy near silk. It wears well, has a silk finish and may be washed. A New Black Dress It is a chain mall dress, a sheathlike robe of coarse chenille threaded with jet beads, which the makers insist upon calling black diamonds. The excessive brilliance of the dress is lessened by broad bands of chenille that are crossed in fichu lines and carried down the sides of the tunic. The wide band of velvety black is again used under the arms so that the glistening black armor is not so aggressive as it sounds. Soft folds of chiffon form the short sleeves, and white maline gives the chemisette in the most attractive form. Plump Arms. Cocoa butter will make the arms plump. Soften and warm the flesh with cloths wrung out of hot water and then rub from shoulder to wrist with a circular motion with cocoa butter warmed slightly. Cocoa butter may be had at any drug store in small cakes; it is hard and must be warmed before using. Unless the flesh is clean and warm it will not absorb. MAKING THE BEST OF STEAK Most Effective Way of Dealing, for Instance With the Flank End of Porterhouse. Before speaking of the cooking of the cuts that lack tenderness throughout, it may be well to refer to the fact that the flank end of the porterhouse is to be classed with the toughest of cuts and with those which, when cooked alone, are with difficulty made tender even by long heating. Mock duck, which is commonly made out of flank steak, can be rendered tender enough to be palatable only by long steaming or cooking in water, and yet people quite generally broil this part of the steak with the tenderloin and expect it to be eaten. The fact is that to broil this part of the porterhouse steak is not good management. It is much more profitable to put it into the soup kettle or to make it into a stew. In families where most of the members are away during the day the latter is a good plan, for the end of the steak makes a good stew for two or three people. This may be seasoned with vegetables left from dinner, or two or three olives cut up in gravy will give a very good flavor; or a few drops of some one of the bottled meat sauces, if the flavor is relished, or a little Chili sauce may be added to the stew. But if the tough end of a porterhouse is needed with the rest, a good plan is to put it through a meat grinder, make it into balls, and broil it with the tender portions. Each member of the family can then be served with a piece of the tenderloin and a meat ball. If the chopped meat is seasoned with a little onion juice, grated lemon rind, or chopped parsley, a good flavor is imparted to the gravy. Favorite Recipes Thick Potato Soup.—Boll as many potatoes as desired until soft enough to go through a sieve. Use the water they were boiled in, adding milk, butter, salt and pepper to season. Thick Pea Soup.—Soak the dried peas over night, then cook the same as the potatoes, but add plenty of onions to flavor the peas. Carrot soup can be made in the same way. Creamed Potatoes With Cheese.—Make a good white sauce, using two tablespoonfuls of flour, a tablespoonful and a half of butter, salt and pepper to season and a cupful of milk. Cut the potatoes in slices and boil. Put a layer of potatoes in a buttered baking dish, then a layer of white sauce, followed with a layer of grated cheese, thus alternating until the dish is full. Bake about twenty minutes and serve hot. Vegetable Haah.—Boll together until tender potatoes, carrots and onions; then serve with butter, pepper and salt. Dutch Salad.—Use as a foundation for this either herrings or anchovies, mixing the same with sliced beets, apples, cold potatoes, onions, hard-bolled eggs and either mayonnaise or a plain French dressing. Another good salad is made from prawns or shrimps with lettuce, hard-bolled eggs and French dressing. EMMA PADDOCK TELFORD. Tapioca Cream. Two tablespoonfuls taploca, one quart milk, four eggs, sugar, and a little salt, soak the taploca in a little water for two hours; put the milk to boil, stir in the taploca, sugar, add a little salt. When nearly boiling stir in the yolks of the eggs; when as thick as boiled custard remove from the fire; have the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth, stir into the hot custard, flavor with vanilla. To be eaten cold. A teaspoonful of cornstarch can be added if the custard is not thick enough. Selection of Poultry. In choosing poultry select those that are soft. Perhaps the surest way to determine whether they are young is to try the skin under the leg or wing. If it is easily broken it is young; or turn the wing backwards, and if the joint yields readily it is tender. When poultry is young the skin is thin and tender, the legs smooth, the feet moist and limber, and the eyes full and bright. The body should be thick and the breast fat. Old turkeys have long hairs and the flesh is purplish where it shows under the skin on the legs and back. About March they deteriorate in quality. Young ducks and geese are plump with light semitransparent fat, soft breast bones, tender flesh, leg joints which will break with the weight of the bird, fresh-colored and bristle beaks, and the windpipes that break when pressed between the thumb and forefinger. They are best in fall and winter. Stewed Tomatoes. Place one-half can of tomatoes in an uncovered saucepan. Boll for five minutes; add one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of butter, and a sprinkle of pepper. Add one-fourth of a cup of fine bread crumbs. Boil up once, and serve. Cranberry Pie. One-half cupful of seeded raisins, one cupful of cranberries (cut in half), one cupful of sugar mixed with one tablespoonful of flour, one-half cupful of hot water, one teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake in crust like apple pie. Chicken Wiggle. One cup of chopped chicken, one half milk, thickened, one can peas, butter size of an egg, salt and pepper. Serva on dry toast. [Name] CURTIS M.
