Colorado Statesman

THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Business Men For Senators Sketch of the Energetic Senator from Colorado, who knows how to get things for his Constituents. Devoting all his entire time to Duties of his office as U. S. Senator. VOL. XVI. Business For Sketch of the Energetic Senate how to get things for his his entire time to Duties of BUSINESS MEN AS SENATORS. From the viewpoint of the practical West, and sometimes even of the less practical East, the legislator who best serves his constituents in the great legislative forum at Washington, is the one who obtains for these constituents the most appropriations, gets them the largest number of government jobs, looks the closest after their business matters, in the various departments, and who makes himself in truth, as well as theory, the servant of those who sent him to represent them at the national capital. This is particularly true in its application to legislators from the West, and is mainly due to the fact that the West needs much assistance from the national government. The West is in a state of transition, and to grow and develop must have national aid for the development of its industries—aid no longer needed by the older-settled parts of the country, the East and Middle West. The West must have appropriations to reclaim its barren wastes; its cities and towns must have federal buildings; there is a constant demand for changes in legislation affecting the disposition of western public lands; new laws are required to adjust the disposal of Indian lands, and countless questions are constantly arising in Congress and the departments in regard to western conditions, long since settled for other sections. The legislator, senator or representative, who accomplishes these things is the one whom his constituency usually re-elects. He may be of that class of eloquent statesmen who get into the Record and the public prints but, unless, in addition to his oratory, he can obtain appropriations for public buildings, secure funds for irrigation enterprises, military posts, and surveys of public lands, his oratory will count for little when election day comes around. And to accomplish these things it is essential that he be constantly on the job. He must typify industry and persistence, for without either or both he will fail Among the senators in Congress who have notable reputations as hard workers is the senior senator from Colorado, Simon Guggenheim. One of his constituents recently wrote of him: "He is the hardest worker and the most successful senator the state has had for some time," and Senator Guggenheim lives up to this reputation. Colorado has an area which is greater than the combined areas of the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Of course, a people of a state when the national administration is Republican, naturally look to their Republican representatives in Congress to assist them, and, as Senator Guggenheim is the sole member of the Republican party in Congress from Colorado, practically all of the needs and demands of that state fall to his lot. Thus in area he has the work to look after for Colorado that the six Republican senators and sixty Republican representatives have for the three states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. If federal patronage were of any benefit to a senator, the Colorado senator would be in great luck, for he is the sole dispenser of such patronage for his state, including federal court officials, land office and treasury officials, and upwards of a thousand postmasters. Senator Guggenheim is an unceasing worker. He is at his committee room in the capitol early in the morning, getting his correspondence with constituents answered so that he can later be in attendance upon the proceedings in the Senate chamber, and he attends personally to the many hundreds of requests of constituents requiring attention in the various departments. In choosing committee places Senator Guggenheim picked out the ones likely to enable him to be of assistance to his own state and the West. He has assignments on agriculture and forestry, conservation of national resources, mines and mining, postoffices and post roads, census, Pacific railroads, and Philippines, and is chairman on the committee of the University of the United States. Senator Guggenheim comes of a family which has made industry and honesty its watchwords. He was born in Philadelphia in 1867, and has been a citizen of Colorado for over twenty years, going there in 1888 to engage in the smelting and refining business. Of the seven sons of Meyer Guggenheim, the founder of the family, Senator Guggenheim is the only one who has shown any preference for public life. In 1894 he was nominated for lieutenant-governor of Colorado, but withdrew from the ticket because he was under the age of thirty required by the state constitution as the minimum age for the occupant of that office. Two years later he was nominated for the position of governor, but declined the nomination. In 1907, after Colorado had been in Democratic senatorial hands for six years, he was elected without opposition to the Senate to succeed Thomas M. Patterson. Mr. Guggenheim's career in the Senate has been marked by characteristic unobtrusiveness and by faithful attention to the very many duties devolving upon a member of that body. In the comparatively short time he has been in the Sen- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 28 1910. ate, he has obtained the close personal friendship of most of its members and enjoys the confidence and esteem of the Senate leaders, Republican and Democratic. Recognizing the tradition of the Senate that newcomers be chary of speech, he has not sought to attract attention as an orator, but during the progress of the tariff bill discussion, his opinions were called for on many business propositions, especially those relating to mining, and he discussed these questions on the floor of the senate with ease and effect. He was enabled to accomplish much in the framing of the tariff bill of advantage to the mining and other business interests of his state and of the entire West. He is a protectionist and was instrumental in retaining the Dingley rates on wool and obtained increased tariff rates on tungsten, zinc, lead and other mineral products of the West. When Mr. Guggenheim was elected to the Senate he resigned all of the positions he held in the companies with which he was connected, with the expressed intention of devoting his entire time to the duties of his office as United States senator, an intention he has faithfully carried into effect. While some may complain that he does not fill the pages of the Congressional Record with bursts of oratory, none can say that he does not get results in obtaining desirable legislation for the benefit of his state, or that he does not faithfully attend to the reasonable wants of his constituents.—National Magazine. CURRENT EVENTS Results of the ElectiOn Christian Workers. Get Busy. One of the most important elections ever held in the West closed last week in this city. It was full of surprises and disappointments. The defeat of the Denver Union Water Company's franchise, while not unexpected in the face of the bitter and relentless fight waged against the company by reformers, together with the proneness of the average citizen to strike at corporations. Just what the result will be is difficult to decide at this time. It is very evident that a determined effort will be made to keep down litigation by those vitally interested in the city's welfare. On the other hand, the results of the wet campaign can be regarded from a vastly different standpoint. This is perhaps the first time the "wet" and "dry" question has been up in a city like Denver. Here, if anywhere, the prohibition question enjoys the largest measure of conceded support. Womans' suffrage brings to the support of the "dry" question the vast army of women who it is said stand ready to annihilate the demon drink. But the results of the late election do not indicate that the great body of women voters laid stress on this very momentous question. Level-headed women, like sensible men, change their views when brought face to face with a business problem. Then, again, Denver is singularly free from the presence of the "vicious element," always sup- posed to be found in the race problem. There is no "race problem" in Denver. The "Japs" are not citizens and do not count. The number of Negroes are few and insignificant as compared with the white population. They were divided, like the whites, and the results of last week's struggle still leaves the solution of the great moral question up to the white man. What will he do? Just watch the mess of pottage. CHRISTIAN WORKERS. A few years ago a distinguished English author and publicist visited Chicago. He saw sights which shocked his soul, and he went home and wrote "If Christ Came to Chicago." It was a great work and enjoyed a brief popularity. We are inclined to wonder what the same great Englishman and the same "Holy Nazarene" would do "If Christ Came to Washington," to attend the great International Sunday School convention last week. Truly the "sight is glorious" to see the world searched for those who are laboring in God's vineyard. From the cold arctic, from the tropics, from the islands of the sea, came the myriad workers. When the doors are open and the world is bidden to enter, the earthy St. Peter turns away the ebon-hued workers of America, with not even the privilege of gathering the crumbs from the floor, or to play with the dogs of Dives. It is passing strange that in this day, when all the great forces for good at work among all classes of humanity need encouragement, the Negro must be left to work out his own salvation and at the same time bear the probriad of the world. But the Negro is grappling with the serious problems of life, and the moral and intellectual uplift of a debased people bears testimony of the good work being done. GET BUSY. With the retarding influence of a municipal campaign out of the way, it's up to us to get busy. Out here in the West, the food supply of the world must be solved. There is now and has been for a time plenty of work to do. Our people must get a share of this work. It cannot be done by idling away time in the large cities and towns. Go out among the farmers; they need thousands of workers to help raise the crops already planted. And many thousand more will be needed to harvest the crops. Out among this class, there is less of the race prejudice manifest and more of an ever-ready willingness to help one another get a start. The Negroes who have left the glittering and alluring pleasures of the city and are making for themselves homes on farms, are doing well. None are coming back to town except to sell their produce and tell the story of individual freedom and prosperity. The Negro who comes to Colorado and goes out now to make a home among the farmers, will enjoy unprecedented prosperity and high prices for the next twenty years. Colorado offers the greatest inducements for our people to get a start in life. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Washington, D. C. May 18.—Liliuokalani, former Queen of Hawaii, has again met defeat in her effort to secure $450,000, or the rentals, from the crown lands in Hawaii. The Court of Claims has just decided that these lands belonged to the government of Hawaii, also that the Queen had no personal claim upon them. Cleveland, Ohio, May 17.—Much surprise, as well as regret, is being expressed here owing to the announcement that the Hon. Jeremiah Brown, who for many years has been employed in a responsible position in the office of the United States Commissioner of Immigration, has been removed and given the position of messenger. Lynchburg, Va., May 11.—It was learned this afternoon that Booker T. Washington, the head of the Tuskegee Institute, is a guest at Blue Gap farm, where he is in consultation with Mrs. Katherine Gould regarding the establishment of the proposed industrial school by Mrs. Gould upon her estate there. Apropos of the visit of Washington to Blue Gap farm, it was ascertained that Mrs. Gould has been considering the establishment of the school at Blue Gap farm for the instruction of Negro Catholics of New York City. Business was rushing last week for Bert Williams. Besides playing at both the Alhambra Theatre and Hammerstein's Victoria, he is compelled to attend court, having been made defendant in a suit for injunction which has been filed by F. Ray Comstock of the Shuberts to prevent him from appearing under the management of F. Ziegfield, Jr., in the Follies of 1910. In his petition Comstock avers that the comedian has two more years under his management. In the answer filed by the defendant he charges that Manager Comstock has broken his contract in many ways, the principal violation being that the Williams Company was booked in theatres not called for in the agreement. William S Mortor, a wealthy contracting plumber, has been awarded an interlocutory decree of divorce from Edith May de Williams Morton by Supreme Court Fitzgerald, the suit having been NO.37 instituted by Morton on the grounds that his wife represented herself to be a white woman, when she was in reality a mulatto. The couple lived happily together until the birth of their first child, which was dark-skinned and showed unmistakably that the child had Negro blood in its veins. In court Morton produced the court records of Danbury, Conn., showing that the defendant was the daughter of a white woman who had married Howard Williams colored, of New Haven, Conn. Mrs. Morton is now in New England. Douglas, Ga., May 16.—Fifty convicts were prevented from escaping last year by the fidelity of two Negro lifers, who seized rifles and threatened any convict with death if a break was made. The prisoners got the opportunity to show their fidelity because the white guards got drunk and deserted the camp, which is about five miles from here. The Negroes stood guard over the fifty convicts all night. A citizen passing the camp this morning learned of the situation and notified the authorities here, who sent a posse to the camp. The posse found the two Negroes still on guard and the baffled convicts cursing them. A petition has been started asking Governor Brown to recognize the fidelity of the two Negroes. Lexington, Ky., May 16.—Margaret Pryor, the richest Negro woman in Kentucky by virtue of the will of Maj. B. G. Thomas, whose slave and housekeeper she was for years, died last Thursday in the mansion left to her by the master of Hiravila Stud. The money that was accumulated by Maj. Thomas during his lifetime will be divided among the Negro relatives of the aged woman. The will of Major Thomas, one of the most remarkable documents ever filed for probate in this country, caused a storm of protests from his relatives and friends, as in addition to bequeathing the bulk of his vast fortune to Margaret Pryor, he also inserted a clause that at her death she should be buried at his side in the Lexington Cemetery. The latter clause, however, was finally compromised by the Negro housekeeper, and she will be buried in the cemetery set aside for those of her color.

Theodore Roosevelt, Care Ameri ican Ambassador, London, England. "Colorado has completed fine building to be devoted to irrigation engineering at the agricultural college at Fort Collins. First of the kind. Colorado was the pioneer to establish such a course, also the pioneer in irrigation laws and largest development.

IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE OF THE AGE. WESTERN. The census has disclosed that Cedar Point, Kans., a town of 165 inhabitants, has sixteen widows. The seismograph at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, recorded an earthquake shock Sunday morning from 12:37 to 2:15 o'clock. Six persons were injured in Parleys canon, Utah, Sunday afternoon by the overturning of an automobile driven by John T. Bogan of Bingham. Estimates place the damage from the storm which swept western Texas from the northern boundary to the Gulf Saturday at more than $3,000,000. Fire that destroyed three business houses on Sunday at Texarkana, Texas, caused a loss of $100,000. A heavy downpour of rain saved the city from much greater loss. Additional capital stock of the Anaconda Mining Company to the amount of $75,500,000 has been approved for listing in New York, making the total amount $105,500,000. Fire Tuesday night destroyed the storehouse and oil tanks of the Union Portland Cement Company's plant at Devil's Slide, 30 miles from Ogden, Utah. Loss, $150,000. Six inches of snow fell at Lead, S. D., between midnight and noon Friday. This is the third snowstorm since the first of May. Denver had a big snowstorm Saturday. Freight traffic was resumed Tuesday on the Western Pacific railroad, which has been out of commission for 30 days as the result of storm damage to its tracks across Great Salt Lake. An indictment was returned Friday by the federal grand jury against William C. Benfer, editor of a Socialist daily newspaper at Lead, S. D., charging him with sending obscene matter through the mails. The article in question was a paraphrase of the Seventh commandment, published in Benfer's paper last January. Benfer pleaded not guilty. An unofficial report was received in Denver Monday from San Francisco that Harry H. Bush, traffic manager, and Chester H. Speers, general passenger agent of the Colorado Midland railroad, are to be made respectively general freight and general passenger agent of the Western Pacific, the Gould's new extension to the Pacific coast. Peter Kepar, aged twelve, the son of a farmer living twelve miles northwest of Topeka, Kas., was arrested Monday for the murder of Arthur James, aged nine, the son of a neighbor. The boys had quarreled Sunday over a hat, and the Kepar boy went home and secured a rifle and returned and shot the James boy. Kepar was traced by his tracks in the mud to his home. GENERAL. The decision to try the New York Presbytery on charges of heresy because of the granting of preaching orders to three young men, after they had refused to accept in full the beliefs of the church, was announced by the judicial committee of the Presbyterian Assembly Monday. "The abbreviated skirts and tights must go from the billboards," was the declaration at Cincinati of Clarence E. Runey, secretary of the International Poster Printers' Association of the United States and Canada, before delegates to the fourth annual convention of the association. The three living honorary members of the Roosevelt Rough Rider's Association will ride with the Rough Riders during the Roosevelt parade, June 18th. The Standard Oil Company has increased the wages of its workmen from six to ten per cent. The order is retroactive and became effective May 1. It is estimated that the company will add from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000 to its annual pay roll expense. The new scale affects employees engaged in the company's works and factories, but the office men will not be benefited by this increase. Most of the employees who will get the increase are laborers, and the advance applies to all the subsidiary companies in the United States. The company has approximately 70,000 employees. The Standard is one of the very few big concerns of this country which has never had a strike among its employees. Grand juries in Illinois are investigating certain affairs in connection with the merging of several fraternal insurance societies, among them the Fraternal Tribunes, the American Home Circle, Fraternal Crystal Lights and several others. A notice was filed in the New Jersey Supreme Court Tuesday by prosecutor Garvin of Hudson county that he would apply to the court on June 7th for an order dissolving the charters of Armour & Co., Morris & Co., Swift & Co., and the National Packing Co.

Archibald Butt, one down in 18 holes of golf on the Chevy Chase links. The President's card was 94. There is but little fear that the officials will oppose the Johnson-Jeffries fight. In fact it was generally understood that Mayor McCarthy is in favor of the big battle as he saw the good it would do the city from a commercial standpoint.

No new irrigation projects will be started by the government within the next ten years, said Director Newell of the reclamation service. Monday. The bureau is now bending its energies to complete the work already begun and, in formulating its plans for the next fiscal year, the service has arranged to use advantageously the $30,000,000 bond issue, in case Congress authorizes it. Senator Guggenheim on Monday offered an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill increasing the appropriation for the care and maintenance of the Mesa Verde National park from $7,500 to $25,000. The President took occasion Friday to tell some of his callers that he would stand with Secretary Ballinger throughout his troubles in the interior department; that he is convinced of Ballinger's innocence of wrongdoing on improper motive, and that he does not consider that his accusers have made out any case against the secretary.

Further particulars on application. THE WHITE MAN’S RELIGION I 1s a wonder that the American Negro ever aceepted and became a follower of the white man’s religion. As it has been preached to him from his earliest period of understanding, it has been warped to make him feel that its application to him is special, and intended, in its higher significance, to make him recognize the white man’s prior right and superior station in affairs eternal as well as passing. The Negro was barred absolutely from the World’s Sunday School convention, in ses- sion in Washington week before last, and the triumphant hypocrites who thus profanely slammed the symbolical portals of heaven in the faces of ten thousand little black cherubs, sang hymns of praise in cele- bration of their vietory. The Negro has done a lot of fighting to get into white Protestant churches and conventions and has been turned out oftener than he has been admitted, and he has been snubbed and in- sulted even when admitted. Never has he been made to feel as easy in a white religious gathering as he feels, say, at a prize fight, or any other hell-sent function. The Catholic chureh is not quite so bad as the Protestant church in this respect, but under like circumstances there would be grounds for fear. The fault is in the white man’s impractical expression and mani- festation of the fundamental tenets of his own religion, and not in the religion itself. ‘Therefore, we believe that the Negro should stop fighting to get into the white man’s churches and conventions. He should fight to stay out of them and take his chances with God alone. He should look to his own churches and church organizations. Keep white men out of his pulpits and conferences and worship God with peace and faith. Edward Blyden, a noted African scholar, deserted the Christian church and adopted the religion of Islam because of its more consistent practices, but the Christian religion in its righteous charaeter is the only true world religion. ‘The American Negro can have no other religion, but he can make it his own. So far as Protestatism is concerned, it would be well if he would establish and develop an entirely new de- nomination, having no organized relationship with white men’s denomi- nations. The day of big church movements is at hand, and an interde- nominational Negro conference would not be an impossibility. The day must come when Negro intelligence must direct the course of a practical race religion, and that direction must not be cringing, dependent, fear- ful or fawning, but, baptized in a new righteousness, it must be bold, aggressive, unselfish and independent. THE NATIONAL NEGRO COMMITTEE 2 big Negro conference has been held in Ne novement’’? has been started to cure the ills ‘life out of the microbes of prejudice. Ano led to the long list of organizations started t oking to the banishment of the race question incidentally, to furnish a necessary outlet fo Axomurr big Negro conference has been held in New York, An- other big ‘‘movement"” has been started to cure the ills of the race by shocking the life out of the microbes of prejudice. Another big name has been added to the long list of organizations started to carry on ex- periments looking to the banishment of the race question in the United States, and, incidentally, to furnish a necessary outlet for the pent up passions of irrepressible agitators. ‘The National Neegro committee is the name of the new organization, and men and women of passion and. words and of considerable note in the affairs of the world, helped to make its send-off sensational and spectacular enough even to make mighty New York take notice. ‘The membership of the new organiza- tion is made up of both white and colored people and the speakers at this first conference were principally white men and women, though W. E. B. DuBois of Atlanta, Mary Church Terrell of Washington, and Ida B. Barnett of Chieago, and speakers of local reputation, were prom- inent on the programs. To the close followers of race affairs, this looks like a successor to the late Niagara movement founded by Mr. DuBois. It is built upon similar lines and displays the same brand of DuBois intellect. Like the comet now in the skies, it is a brilliant recurrence on an unusual orbit. It aspires to outshine the National Negro Business League and other stars of the second magnitude, And it has issued an appeal to the country to consent to become the tail of the nebulous wanderer. It is treasonable, perhaps, to speak thus lightly of the efforts of these earnest but sensational agitators, but we never could see the practieal side of the war which they seek to wage in the Negro’s behalf with fine oratory and drawing-room display, It stirs up momentary ardor and renews for the participants their waning lease on glory, but it shows such poor results when compared with the simple, hard, every- day method of buckling down to business as individuals, each fighting his own problem. “Northern neutrality in the crimes of the South is treason,’’ said Mary Church Terrell. ‘The problem is not one of race, but of labor,”” said Clarence Darrow, the Socialist lawyer of Chicago. “It may be a long way in the future, but intermarriage between the races will finally settle all difficulties,’ said the same speaker, And then they all ap- plauded and went home to wait for the people to think it out. Giving Rebuke By JOHN A. HOWLAND NOCK before you come in here, please,” said the general man- ager, sitting in the privacy of his inner office. “And now you may take the matter back and wait until I send for you, if you'll e 80 good.” The general manazer had been talking to me for some time. ‘The door had opened suddenly and the young man act- ing as private secretary stepped in, had crossed the room, laid a batch of papers on his employer’s desk, and was tiptoeing out again, when he had been called back. hens waa aang cutting in the well modulated tone of voice which the employer used, ‘he sting of it had been emphasized, in fact, by the intonation. Breeding would not allow me to look at the young man, but the figure which shaped itself in the corner of my eye ‘as the young man tiptoed back for the papers showed me how keenly the speech had stung him. Was that speech justified ? Distinctly not! Moreover, it was an expression indicative of a bad business policy in the man who had risen to the position of a general man- ager. For me, I only saw the man’s limitations as an organizer. I should have been a little less certain of my investment had I owned stock in his company. No matter how that young man might have offended before in this manner the reprimand was out of sll proportion to the offense, taking it for granted that the young fellow was at all worthy of the position he held. And if he were unworthy of it, why did he hold it? Coming in no one could have been more considerate in tiptoeing across the room than was this messenger. ‘To me, looking back upon this phase of the incident, I am sure that the young man’s actions showed that he felt he had intruded and was making every effort to lessen its effect. ‘There was apology in every movement across the floor. Literally it was not an interruption until the manager, through his rebuke, made it so. Instead of this manager’s embarrassing me and outraging his em- ployee as he did, how much more effective it might have been for the em- ployer, a moment after I had gone, if he had called his man in and asked that such interruptions cease? if never before he had been forced to rebuke the man he could have made the request in the most considerate manner; if it had oc- curred before, he could have laid whatever emphasis might have been deserved upon the offense. The young man would have recognized any deserved form and degree of reprimand. His loyalty would have been strengthened by the fact that his employer, by waiting, had saved him undue embarrassment. Still more, he could have had a chance to explain and offer apology. them up. They’ll do all that when they know that you’re a game kid and in for all the fun that is to be had out of life. But there are dangers which beset the “good fellow’s” path and the temptations are many. So some of the “good fellow’s” become the kind ‘of woman whom mother’s girl doesn’t meet, a lot of them are our cheery, self-supporting bachelor girls, a few of them are happily married. ‘The rush of settlers to occupy that country is on in unprecedented volume and new towns are springing up everywhere, making good open- ings for professional and business men and mechanics. ‘The same things may be said of Wyoming and Idaho. Instead of the opportunities being lessened there was never a time when they were so numerous and go good. Sixth—Never look among your clouds for silver linings. Seventh—Follow these directions closely and failure will track your steps like a bloodhound; in adversity you will be as worthless as an old rotten sheet for a sail in a gale of wind; when fire comes, as come it must, you will find all the metal you ever had in you is turned to dross; and in the fire, you know, dross never purifies nor refines—it only burns. qin ae oe 4 LZe ye Dangers Beset “Good Fellow” Girl By TERESA MOORE More Chances Now Than Ever Before By S.

If you decide to be mothers girl you'll have a quiet sort of time, staying home mostly while the other girls go to parties, theaters and such places. ‘And by and by a man will come along, one who wants to settle down, and you'll get married. Men usually prefer to marry mother’s girls.

I wae astonished at the assertion in view of the unequaled openings in the western terri- tory tributary to Chicago. ‘Take the state of Montana, for instance. It is nearly three timies as large as [llinois and infinitely richer in every natural re- source.

Washington, D. C., May 25.—Sena- tor Guggenheim today gained unani- mous consent and passed through the senate the “Taylor park bill,” which grants parks to fourteen different towns in Colorado. These towns are required to pay $1.25 an acre for the land, and they may take all the acre- age set apart for them, or such por- tion as they may desire. Congressman Taylor had hoped and tried very hard to secure the granting of these parks to these towns free of charge, but the secretary of the in- terior, secretary of agriculture and the house disapproved of it, and further- more a number of these towns being situated within the former Ute reserv- ation, the government had no right under the law to dispose of any of that land at less tham $1.25 per acre. ‘The following towns are included in the ‘Taylor-Guggenheim ill: Glen- wood Springs, 640 acres; Rifle, 320 acres; Grand Valley, 300 acres; Meek- er, 80 acres; Steamboat Springs, 640 acres; De Beque, 40 acres;* Collbran, 40 acres; Olathe, 80 acres; Gunnison, 820 acres; Pitkin, 240 acres; Mont- Tose, 240 acres; Dolores, 160 acres; Durango, 640 acres; Laveta, 640 acres: Fruita, 640 acres.

THE ZION FAIR AND FESTIVAL The Zion Fair and Festival which has been in progress during the present week has had many features. But before we mention these special features we would mention the handicap under which the effort was made. We refer to the absence of the pastor from the church on account of ill health which was felt by all keenly. But notwithstanding the want of his much needed oversight and encouragement such as an able leader can give; the fair cannot be denominated as a failure. There was more sought for in the effort than financial results and the sentiment is well expressed in a prominent member of the church who looking over a well-filled church of cheerful and smiling faces, remarked that he would consider the movement a success had nothing other than social contact and good fellowship of the members and friends been brought about. But evidence is available to show that more was accomplished. At the time of going to press the receipts and expenditures are not in, consequently an accurate estimate cannot be given of net results. But we are of the opinion that the results will be creditable and will be reported at another time. But we started out to mention the features. And let us repeat for emphasis the good cheer and friendly feeling. Then the programs were short and spicy not long drawn out and tiresome. The bootthes were well arranged, beautifully decorated and fairly well filled. Those deserving special mention are the Gypsy tent in which fortunes were as accurately told for five cents as they are by others for 50 cents or more. The Election booth created unusual excitement and friendly competition. At this writing the count is not completed but we are safe in saying that whoever is elected as the most popular Negro musician in Denver will deserve the honor, for the indications point to a neck and neck finish. Beautifully scribed certificates await the successful candidates. One of the most mirth provoking features of the whole scheme of fun and fellowship was the Kangoroo Court. With the active chief of police and watchful assistants, one dared not refuse contribution to solicitors or drink soda pop without standing in danger of being hauled before the grave judges whose motto seemed to be "Let no one escape guilty or not guilty." But time would fail us to attempt to mention the details of the S. S. recitation contest, the musical medley, the funny country maids and lasses, the sketch and comic features by Messrs Harris-Rhodes & Co., the climax and closing evening with the lit-the folks; and those good, good chicken suppers. And so we close with saying all hail to the willing hands and active workers who helped to make the fair a success and thanks to the many friends of Zion whose presence was a substantial evidence of their genuine interest. Next week we hope to give a financial statement. TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF HE NEGRO TOWNSITE AND LAND COMPANY: A splendid foundation has been laid by the Negro Townsite and Land Company, for the building up of the many business enterprises which its incorporation covers. It is quite necessary that each stockholder should be represented in person, or by proxy, at the annual meeting, June 7th, 1910, to elect nine directors, from the sixty stockholders, to manage the affairs of the Company for the next year. Whether you have paid all of your subscriptions or not you have a vote for each share that you have contracted for. The present directors cannot agree on any line of action to apply the money already paid in to any feature of the incorporation. It is up to the stockholders to elect a board of nine directors that will get together and carry out the object and purposes which the stockholders have paid in their money for. Each stockholder has a right to examine the books of the Company and if they cannot do it themselves, they can appoint a representative, and if there is any irregularity or graft, or false intentions on the part of the directors, the laws of Colorado fix a penalty for each officer, of the entire board. After the election, June 7th, if no one else demands a sworn statement of the officers, I will, as I desire that each stockholder shall know under oath just how the affairs of the Company have been handled during my administration. Many times stockholders in companies get to hollowing "stop thief" and they find that the thief is in the chase. If stockholders would take a little time to read the incorporation laws of Colorado, they would find them very simple and in the interest of the stockholders. The directors are only the servants of the stockholders and the stockholders can dictate the management of the Compa- ny at any time during the term of the Board of Directors, if they are not satisfied with the course they are pursuing. The president and treasurer of your present board are at lager heads and cannot be of any service to the stockholders and it is your duty to remove either, or both, so that your money shall be put in action for returns. I am not a candidate for any place but will present a list of names of stockholders at the annual meeting whom I think are capable of carrying out the object and purposes of the Company. The present board is inactive and incapable of success. It rests now with the sixty stockholders to elect men or women who will carry out your desires regardless of their personal interests. About 1,000 shares of stock have been sold; more than 50 per cent. paid in. There is a cash balance on hand of about $320.00, after paying all expenses since Incorporating; this showing, considering all the opposition and lack of experience of the majority of the directors in doing commercial business according to law, is a good one and should be encouraged. Each stockholder should be represented at the annual meeting and should his proportion of responsibility for the future of the Negro Townsite and Land Company by casting his vote for progressive directors.

Between them, on the ta- ble, stood an open box of field violets and apple blossoms, the crumpled wrapper bear- ing the postmark of a hill town in New Jersey. Said the northern woman: “We say of the town from which my flowers come that it 1s at its lovelfest in the end of May, and that we would choose to show it first to an intending dweller on Memorfal day—Decoration day,’ as it will always be remembered by a cirele of women tho for years gathered at a house on the main street, the home of a well-beloved citl- zen and the commander of the post, to receive and shape Into corps badges and other emblems the flowers that began to arrive at early breakfast time, literally in carriage loads, from gardens and greenhouses of suburban homes. “More than one of these women had war memories that gave a grave touch to the occasion, and as years passed change and loss came in shape to all. It was now truly ‘Memorial day,’ rath- er than ‘Decoration day.’ The line of veterans thinned, and perhaps because of all the crowding memories we no longer kept the day as we had done before, “One year the oldest veteran nelgh- bor ‘passed over,’ and we learned that the remainder of the company was to march about our square. The word made an unusual stir. At the top of the hill the daughter of our eminent reverend made ready to dip the colors as the men marched up. Women at the next corner made hasty prepara- tion to strew their crossings, and the one midway the block, with flowers. The meadows just below were thick with mustard blossoms and on their borders gleamed the greenhouses of SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DAY EMORIAL day grows to mean more and more as the civil war recedes in the his- _torical perspective. It has means this year, for the boys in blue and the boys in gray who fought in the battles of the cfvil war have never been so few and have never been so old as they are today. ‘The nation that fafls to honor the man who “lays down his life for his country as a lover lays a rose at the feet of his beloved,” must be a coun- try destitute of the true ideals of pa- triotism and of ennobling traditions. ‘The sun shines on countries where the millions dwell in sodden ignorance and poverty, and if a war fs fought the few go forth to fight the battle of the mil- Hons, and when the depleted handful of warrlors comes back from the bat- tlefleld, millions there are who do not even know that there was a war and that their countrymen fought and died 4n their behalf, But in this country, ever since it was a country, whether the war has been fought on battle- flelds close by our own domestic hearthstones, or whether our gallant soldiers have gone to some far Island of the trople seas, whenever and wherever there was fighting going on, the heart and soul of the entire na- tion have been where the fighting was, ‘And in the civil war, when for a time the north and the south stood tr- reconcillably asunder, on this side and on that of an abysmal cleavage, it een OR oe ROSATO TOSOTANTTOSVISGTHNTASOCOGOSOSGOTSOG| mem ORTY-FIVE years have) green and fresh, This ts the spiri : passed since the close of| Memorial day, the occasion set aj the war between the states, | for the perpetuation of the name: which permanently golved | those who freely offered themselve the greatest problem ever | their country in its time of need, )and which cost appallingly in blood and treasure. In this period of nearly a half a century the country has trav- eled far in the direction of matertal and Intellectual development. It has met many new conditions and issues and the men of the war time have al- most all passed from the scene of action. A new generation fs now car- rying the national burden, inspired by the example set in the sixties by those who went forth to serve vith ‘rms the cause they espoused. But however great the changes that have taken place, however long ago the days when the air was filled with the reverberations of guns and the shock of armies, on one day of each year the men, women and children of the present turn with one accord to the graves of those who fell in the fight or who have fallen since in the | civic ranks wearing the emblems of their honorable service, and give evi- dence that their memories remain [X]oo % OF Q) 9 Q o xP Mi the wealthy man whose lawns and garden had lately spread their besuty almost to the foot of the last crossing The owner was in Europe, but tls check had come as usual to the wom en of the committee for the post in ner, and it was remembered that bis carriage had always deposited its loud of flowers at the post commande:'s door in the old days. Firat we raided the meadows for the mustard, then ‘he gardener at the greenhouse was ©) pealed to, with the result that ft \e- came a question how best to dispose of the largesse of forget-me-nots «ni pansies, let alone other flowers, “The midway crossing was lald in ferns mainly, the women of the houses nearest doing this. The balcontes of one of these houses were always chr acteristically dressed for the day. The next was laid in ‘cloth of gold’ of mus tard, and the third and last was « broad ribbon of solid forget-me-no's, with a border of green, and at each end a tall arrangement of blue «nd purple fleur-de-lis, making a sort of gateway, The base of the lamp post, bearing the letter box (at the juncturo of the two crossings) was banked hich with forget-me-nots and pansies, the box was draped in the colors, while pansies covered the post above to tlie lantern. At the second, the golden crossing, some one got a snap-shot of the front Mne of veterans with colors and an escort of bicycles coming over the flower-covered way. “When {t was over the flowers were quickly gathered and sent to be used in the ceremonies at the graves. Later, the women were called to meet In the study of the eminent reverend on a matter of importance. Here they listened to a little speech summing i?) the words of appreciation spoken at the post dinner, and each carried away a copy of the resolutions passed to em- body them.” must never be forgotten that the men who ypheld the standard of the Con- federacy were as deeply and as genui- inely stirred by patriotic impulse as the men who were enrolled beneath the Stara and Stripes. And in the background, on either hand, the wom: en who waited and worked and prayed and endured (which was harder than to go to war) belleved with an equal faith in the heroes who went forth to represent them. For every prayer that went to God from the heart and soul of @ northern woman for « hus- band or a lover, the pure and fervent petition of her sister in the south arose to Heaven, until, ving or dead, her warrior came back to her. Today it 1s almost forgotten which side it was that fought in vain, whieh side it was that won the victory. ‘There are no longer two contending factions. The passage of the years has obliterated all but the immemorial beauty of the sacrifice. All that is known 1s that some of the soldiers— most of them—are sleeping till the last revellle sounds, where, above thousands of: grass-grown mounds, the flowers are reverently laid and the flags are placed by the trembling hands of the survivors. And those sur- yivors who follow to the churches and the graveyards the fife and drum, as once they followed them where bullets were flying, bring alive the pages of a glorious chapter in our history. There could have. been no such common love of our common country if there had Deen no civil war. green and fresh. This {s the spirit of Memorial day, the occasion set apart for the perpetuation of the names of those who freely offered themselves to their country in its time of need. It 1s essential to the spiritual fe of a nation that tt should bear vivid: ly and permanently in mind the sac- rifices of the martyrs who risked and gave life that the principles it em bodies may survive. The flowers strewn upon graves to- day are tokens not of grief but of glad- ness that the men who are thus re membered were in thelr day herolc in their concept of duty. The eloquence of orators at the many places of in- terment is designed to convey to those who attend the real lesson of patriot ism, which is that the national ex: istence depends not alone upon those who march forth to war, but upon those who lead upright lives in time of peace, who respect the law, who are true tothe principles upon which this government is founded and who per form the duties of citizenship in the ‘spirit of devotion which led men te leave their homes and suffer privation ‘and sickness and death in order that (shor aatontmntght murvive! > § x When Daddy Donned the Blue rs _ | And phantom feet go down the street—the same old war- riors bold; At Lincoln's call. they swell the ranks, all eager for the fight; I see the shades march thro’ the glades— for country, God and right.

No matter how serious the situation nor how near to death the soldiers were, they were always able to ex- change a few jokes and to see the comic side of life. As evidence it is related that while in camp at Mem- phis, Tenn., a great flood came on and the camp of the Union soldiers was put very largely under water. It was the custom of the soldiers to dig large holes in the ground, for disposal of the waste from the camp, and these were covered over, but at the time of the flood the water prevented the passerby from seeing the covering. It was just at this time that Dr. David Evans, whose home was at Boston, be- low Richmond, and who was a sur- geon, made his appearance in a hand- some new suit of clothes and went out to visit a certain portion of the camp. In doing so he unfortunately landed ‘on top of one of the waste pits, with the result that he fell through, his new clothes were ruined and he had to stand for a great deal of joking. —R——EEEEE EE ee ees ae rarer it i m 9 oo Drops ih mm For Infants and Children. a . i SIE ASTURIA The Kind You Have 1 or SS eee \ooooeoes| Always Bought WY || ALCOHOL~3 PER CENT ie Neds able Ure petellan ior AS \g| similating the Food and Regula- es fing the Stomachs and Bowels of Bears the \e ay [Rinne OTe Te Signature Ni Promotes Digestion,Cheerful- S|] ness and Rest.Contains neither of ) || Opium.Morphine nor Mineral RS || Nor NARCOTIC Fe Recipe of Olt Dr SAMUEL PITCHER | Geet Rell geese | gee .

When the British square at the bat- tle of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des- ert, was penetrated by the dervishes, ‘one of them attempted to spear a gun- ner who was in the act of ramming home a charge. The Briton brained the Sudanese, but the rammer head split on the man’s hard skull. Next day the gunner was sent for. Mistaking the reason, and knowing from experi- ence that soldiers are charged for government property which they break, he led off with: “Please, sir, I'm very sorry I broke the rammer, but I never thought the fellow’s head could be so hard. I'll pay for the rammer so as to hear no more of the case.” They Surely Would. A little American boy with his fa- ther was visiting a market in a Mex- ican city. He saw a little native girl with a small basketful of red peppers, of which she was eating one. His fa- ther was about to say: “She thinks she is very smart,” as the son called his attention to it. The boy spoke up quickly, knowing what was to be said: “Pa, would those red peppers make you smart if you eat all of them?” His father replied: “Yes, son.” Despisery.

He was in General Hovey's old regiment, the Twenty-fourth Indiana, from June, 1861, until August, 1864. "The stage of the great war drama had been shifted to Vicksburg and vicinity," said the veteran in relating his story. "On April 28, at Hard Times Landing, thirty-five miles below Vicksburg, I saw General Grant, Governor Dick Yates and Fred Grant (then a boy, apparently only thirteen or fourteen years of age, but wearing a captain's shoulder straps) board a tug and cross the river. The cannonading between our fleet and the forts was terrific, and I could see the cannon balls come skimming along on the water, some of them very near to General Grant's tug, but he stood calmly on deck, not in the least disturbed. The next day I crossed the river on the flagship Benton and stood within six feet of Grant for three hours. He chewed an unlighted cigar stub all the time. I saw him no more until about May 8. It is, perhaps, difficult for many of the present generation to appreciate the nation's obligations to the boys in blue. But for them we should have no union, and slavery would stain our civilization. The nation can never repay the debt it owes to these brave men, but it must never let the story of their heroic deeds perish from the annals of mankind or the memory of the generations yet to come.

Creston Clark, whose untimely death at Asheville robbed America of a serious and capable actor, was somewhat impatient of criticism. To a Philadelphia critic he once said: "You chaps are unwilling to accept a man for what he is. You want to change him to your own taste. But each of you has a different taste. To whose inclination, then, is he to bend? "No, no! Take the artist for what he is. That is the right critical attitude. Don't be like the farm urchin I once saw—an urchin who, as he stoned a frog to death, repeated severely: "I'll l'arn ye to be a toad." Old Man in Responsibility. The American business system, which gives mere boys responsible positions before they have acquired practical experience, is to an Englishman quite unaccountable. He wonders whether it does not cause reckless trading and wild speculation. In other countries they prefer to keep elderly men in responsible positions because they can be depended upon. Messrs.

"Put One Over" on General Grant HAT General Grant was a man of big heart, possessed of warm sympathy for the boys in the ranks, was impressed upon a well-known veteran when he met T "Several comrades induced me to go foraging with them. We knew we were in the enemy's country, surrounded by an army 25,000 stronger THE CIVIL WAR Asked What We Were Doing There, than ours, but we decided to take the risk for a square meal. The day was cloudy and dark and finally we lost our bearings. But we had a few chickens, some sweet potatoes, peas and a duck or two, and so really did not worry over the situation. When we were at last picked up by a patrol guard of our own army we were so relieved at not falling into the hands of the enemy that we did not take our predicament seriously. It was when the guard took us to General Grant's own headquarters a short distance away that we saw we had but stepped out of the frying pan into the fire. We knew Grant was a good disciplinarian and we had broken the rules. "General Grant was not in his tent at first, but soon came. He threw his bridle reins to an orderly and strode into his tent, giving us rather a curious glance as he went by. In a few minutes he came out again and asked us what we were doing there. Our spokesman glibly manufactured a tale about a sick brother being weak and badly in need of better food than hardtack on which to regain his strength. It was at once evident that General Grant's sympathy had been aroused. "Then he proceeded to tell us that he would forego punishment, in view of the cause that had led us to go foraging, but he asked us to promise that we would never again be guilty of such an act. He said that we were in the enemy's country and did not know at what hour he would have to order the army to move. He said he knew we were short of rations, but that he had sixteen boats loaded down with provisions waiting for us just above Vicksburg. He said he would get to them soon if all his plans to dislodge and rout the enemy succeeded. "You can bet we went away with some new ideas about Grant. His talk was our salvation, for General Hovey was fully determined to make an example of us until he heard General Grant had ordered us back to our company. That 'slick brother' story would not have done to tell General Hovey." Debt Owed to Boys In Blue. The Dwindling Line. WIRINGS FROM WASHINGTON SENATE GRANTS PARK LAND TO GLENWOOD, STEAMBOAT, LA VETA, DURANGO, FRUITA. NEW MEX. UNDERFLOW RIGHTS OF OIL LOCATORS AND MINERAL ENTRIES TO BE PROTECTED. Washington.—The Senate Wednesday passed Representative Taylor's bill, previously passed by the House, granting lands to Colorado cities and towns for park purposes, with an amendment adding the town of Fruita to those carried in the bill as it came from the House. This bill, as it passed the Senate, authorizes the sale, at $1.25 per acre, of tracts of public land to Colorado towns as follows: Six hundred and forty acres to each of the towns of Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, Durango, La Veta and Fruita; 320 acres to Rifle, Grand Valley and Gunnison; 240 acres to Montrose, Pitkin and Meeker; 160 acres to Dolores; 80 acres to Olathe; 40 acres to De Beque and Collbran. The Senate public lands committee decided to amend the bill authorizing the President to make withdrawal of public lands by adding a provision that the withdrawals shall not affect the legal rights of any settler or entryman under the homestead or desert land acts initiated prior to the order of withdrawal, and that mineral entries and locations shall be excepted from the withdrawals made under the proposed law. Also that locators of oil lands who may have expended large sums in developing their claims shall be protected in the rights they have thus acquired. Western members of the Senate are contemplating attaching to the bill, when it passes, an amendment embodying the provisions of the bill authorizing the issuance of $30,000,000 in certificates of indebtedness to complete irrigation enterprises. The House committee on irrigation reported favorably the Warren bill previously passed by the Senate, authorizing co-operation between the reclamation service and private enterprises in building irrigation projects. The Interior Department has designated 36,320 acres of land in townships 55 and 56, range 67, state of Wyoming, for entry under the enlarged homestead act. Representative Mondell has introduced a bill to restate homestead entries canceled or relinquished because of the inclusion of such entries in the withdrawals of land for national forests. Delegate Andrews has introduced a bill appropriating $15,000 to be expended under the direction of the territorial engineer of New Mexico to determine the underflow of water for irrigation purposes in Chaves county, New Mexico. Railroad Wreck—None Killed. Pueblo.—Sixteen people were dangerously injured and a score or more of others were cut and bruised when two day coaches on a Denver & Rio Grande train were thrown into a ditch by a defective rail while the train was traveling thirty miles an hour, two miles east of Cucharas Wednesday morning at 2:30 o'clock. After plunging over an embrarkment ten feet high, the two coaches landed upside down and the occupants were thrown about the interior against the seats and window sashes, and were bombarded from all sides by shattered glass and broken timbers. Chaos reigned within the wrecked cars for several minutes after the accident and injured ones were trampled under foot by those able to walk, in their haste to leave the cars. Fearing that the coaches would be destroyed by fire before the victims could be rescued, strict orders were issued by the leader of the party not to light matches until gas which was leaking from a severed connection had cleared away.

Cleveland—Chief of Police Frederick Koehler, the "golden rule" chief and lauded by President Roosevelt as the best chief of police in the country, was suspended Wednesday by Mayor Bachr on charges of gross immorality, and habitual drunkenness. 600 Miners Quit Work.

THIS hair dressing is arranged after the manner of the old Greek dressings, the front hair softly waved and drawn back to the crown of the head, where the bunch of tiny curls, natural or false, are bound into a knot with a band of metal ribbon. EASY ADJUSTMENT OF FRILLS Device That Goes Far Toward Making Life Easier Is Described Below. Among the latest ideas for making life easier are frills ready to be adjusted, with a few minutes' work, to the underclothing or the flap of a blouse or pillow cases. CARING FOR INVALID'S HAIR Some Things That Nurse or Friend of Patient Should Be Sure to Keep in Mind. Long hair should be divided into two plaits the first day of an illness. This makes combing easier on patient and nurse. In high fever an ice cap is equally These frills can be had in various designs, some of them the material hemstitched or with lines of drawn-work edged with torchon lace; others with tiny lines of beading, again finished with embroidery or feather-stitching. For infants' clothes these frillings come with tiny edges, and there are quiet openwork effects on heavy linen used for pillow slips. The method of adjusting is to buy them, gathered into a featherstitched band, or one edge of the material has a loosely woven thread, and all the worker need do is to draw the thread to the desired fulness. VISITING DRESS. Cinder gray cashmere would look well made up in this simple but smart way; the tunic is semifitting and is drawn in above the waist by a wide band which reaches to the sides of front, this is lightly braided, so also are the edges of underskirt and oversleeves, while a strip is taken across the lower edge of yoke, which is of tucked chiffon to match undersleeves. Hat of straw swathed in tulle and trimmed with bunches of small pink flowers. Materials required: 6 yards cashmere, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yards tucked chiffon, 3 dozen yards braid. Fancy Net Turbans. The flowered turban has given way to a large one made of coarse fancy net. The same kind is used that we have had for gown drapery during the winter. Brilliant colors are seen, such as purple, the new vivid dark blue, black, white with a black spot and chantecler red. The turbans are an artistic mass of this net twisted in puffs and loops and ends. The latter are wired in order to keep their shape and give the turban character. Some Things That Nurse or Friend of Patient Should Be Sure to Keep in Mind. Long hair should be divided into two plaits the first day of an illness. This makes combing easier on patient and nurse. In high fever an ice cap is equally beneficial to the hair and to temperature. When a patient likes to have her head rubbed, if a bit of vaseline is put on tips of fingers it will keep the hair from getting dry and brittle. This must be carefully done if bed linen is not to suffer. Where hair has matted in illness, do not attack it with a comb or pull it apart. Thread with the fingers, beginning at the ends of hair and working up. Shake the hair often. Do a little at a time, and stop at first signs of exhaustion in the patient. Hair combing in a weakened state has been known to cause collapse. With convalescence begin a course of treatment for the hair. This should be professional, but much can be done at home with vaseline rubbed well into the scalp or a good tonic, such as bay rum and quinine, or crude patroleum. Only permit hair to be cut as a last resort. It is rarely done now even after typhoid fever. Do not be alarmed at increasing thinness. Keep up massage, and new hair will quickly follow. Hair after illness spills badly. A thorough singeing is one of the first things to do. As hair is delicate and brittle after illness, avoid overheating with false hair. Wear it only when necessary if you wish your scalp to quickly regain a normal, healthy condition. The Summer Coat. One of the striking features of the summer coat is its lining. Of soft foulard in some of the most attractive designs, it generally contributes to a striking whole. White serge is still in high favor; oyster gray and tan linen are delightfully heavy in the new basket weaves, while woolen materials are loose enough to afford comfort without an overburdening warmth. The summer coat is ornamented with a marine collar or with long revers that cross and button quite far down. Metal and tortoiseshell buttons are used on the summer coat and huge pockets are not lacking. Keep in mind these points when planning this very necessary article in your summer outfit. A Curious Jeweled Clasp. A curious jeweled clasp which can be taken off and put on different pairs of slippers is being shown at the stores. The clasp intended for a Louis Quinze heel has a metal bottom from which rise jeweled spikes which clasp into the heel. The metal gives a faint clicking sound at each step and the spikes ornament the satin or leather heel admirably. It is one of the latest frivolities which find favor with a certain set. Chantecler Stationery The chantecler stationery is decidedly prettier than some of the millinery named after this famous play. The correspondence cards with envelopes to match are especially charming. The tone of the paper is of a rich cream, like the tint of a palebrown egg, gilt-edged and decorated in the right-hand corner. The flaps of the envelopes have scarlet roosters. Hair and Illness A long illness no longer means sacrificed hair. Except in cases of brain fever hair is rarely shaved; even thinning and shedding are overcome quickly. SUPPER FOR SUNDAY NIGHT Meal May Be Made Most Enjoyable of the Week If Given a Little Thought. There is nothing more cheering to the spirits than to have one's food and table appointments accord with this sweetest of all months. The housekeeper who wants her guests to have the "new feeling" should make her Sunday night supper table look as springlike as possible. If the table is in a good wood, polished oak or mahogany, leave the cloth off and use plate mats with embroidery or lace edges. Have these round or square, but see to it that spring flowers are in the vase on the centerpiece and that the food is seasonable. Then don't clutter the table with a quantity of small dishes. One of the first requirements of spring is a sense of space, for among other things this rests the nerves. A good menu for a May-night Sunday supper could include cold meat with aspic jelly, a green salad and a cold custard. Here are some timely recipes: Aspic Jelly.—Make a good aspic by cooking together a knuckle of veal and one pound of beef or a chicken carcass, put on in cold water for three hours. Put soup vegetables with the meat and let it all simmer slowly. Three or four pounds of meat would be required for three quarts of water, and this should be reduced to one quart when the meat is done. Let it become cold with the meat in the pot, then pour it off, strain it, return it to the fire and when it comes to a boll throw in the white and crushed shell of an egg. Boll up quickly, strain off the scum, and strain again. Add celery salt, while pepper and lemon juice until the taste is piquant, and then put it away in the ice box to jelly. With this put around cold boiled beef, boiled chicken, lamb or veal, the housekeeper will have an excellent piece de resistance for the Sunday night supper. The dish may be adorned and the taste varied by trimming the platter with a border of diced pickled beets, chopped gherkins, hard boiled eggs minced and mixed with chopped parley, slices of lemon, celery, etc. Che home Slice bananas over the cereal and serve with milk or cream. Pour a little melted butter on top of cereals with stewed prunes, figs, canned peaches or raspberries. Boll pots and pans in water and washing soda. Scour enameled ware with one part of fine salt or two parts of fine sand. A delicious way of serving oat meal is with maple sugar and cream. Shave the sugar and pour the cream around it. This may be eaten warm or cold. Insist upon all the clothing in the family wash being plainly marked. There is nothing so annoying to whoever puts away the clothes as to guess to whom the different pieces belong. Remember the value of newspapers. They make good linings for carpets and shelves and are the best wrapping for hangings and curtains that are to be put away for the summer. When beating the whites of eggs for any purpose the busy housewife will find it a saving of time and the eggs will be stiffer and nicer in every way, if a pinch of salt is added before the beating begins. Luncheon Rolls. Toss a baking powder mixture on a floured board and pat and roll to one-fourth of an inch in thickness, keeping in rectangular shape. Brush over with melted butter and sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of sugar mixed with one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-third of a cupful of stoned raisins cut in small pieces and two tablespoonfuls of chopped nutmeats. Roll like a jelly roll and cut off pieces three-fourths of an inch in thickness. Place on a buttered tin cut side up and bake in a hot oven 15 minutes.—Woman's Home Companion. Eggs on Sorrel. Sorrel, which is the most easily grown of all herbs, and procurable in large cities, is splendidly tonic in its influence on the system. It is boiled like spinach, in plain water, drained and placed over slices of butter toasted; on top of it are put hard boiled eggs cut in lengthwise slices, and covered with drawn butter. Dandelion, which is an even better spring spur to the blood, may be used instead of the sorrel. Chicory Salad. Chicory makes a splendid spring edible, as the bitter quality is often just the thing the stomach needs for a better tone. The green part of the vegetable is generally discarded and the white is crisped with cold water before being used. It is served with a French dressing, lemon juice providing a more freshening and tonic quality than vinegar. A. E. MAN'S own Millinery Co. apposite D. & F.'s Sixteenth St. CURTIS M.
