THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY National Preachers Home Colorado Springs has a National Home For Superannuated Preachers of the A. M. E. Church donated by the late General Palmer. A modern Building of Twenty-six rooms. NATIONAL PREACHERS' HOME OF THE A. M.E. CHURCH IN COLORADO SPRINGS In April, 1908, the Colorado Springs Company, through the late General William J. Palmer, their president, on application of Rev, J. W. Braxton, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, Colorado Springs, Colo., gave to him a written statement donating to the African Methodist Episcopal Church, U. S. A., one-half block of ground, valued at about $5,000, in a superb location on East Boulder street, Colorado Springs, Colo., for the erection of a National Home of Superannuated Preachers, with the provision that if within one year means were available to erect, equip and maintain a suitable building the deed would be given. The donation was reported to the General Conference at Norfolk in May, 1908. In the fall of 1908 subscriptions of over $3,000 were taken up by the late Bishop Grant in four of his conferences. NATIONAL PREACHERS' HOME OF THE In March, 1909, the death of General Palmer occurred and as the year had nearly expired Rev. Braxton applied to the vice president and treasurer of the company, Mr. T. J. Fisher, for a renewal of the promise which was given him in writing, April 28, 1909. In the meantime Mr. Geo. A. Krause succeeded the late General Palmer as president, and it became necessary to obtain his consent to carry out the wishes of General Palmer. To this he finally agreed and it then devolved upon the church to show to him and to the satisfaction of his company the ability of the church to build and foster such an institution. This was done by the late Bishop Grant and the financial secretary, Dr. John Hurst, who gave the necessary guarantee. After much delay and persistent effort, this half block, donated by General Palmer, has been exchanged for the Deaconess Home, owned by the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Colorado Conference of the M. E. Church, which property consists of a building, five tent houses, one portable house of three rooms, a large barn and a half block of ground, valued at about $15,000. The building contains twenty- six rooms, has steam heat, electric lights, toilet, baths, etc., on each of the three floors, and is in every respect a model preachers' home. It commands a view of 200 miles of the Rocky Mountain range, is only two blocks from a car line, three blocks from the Santa Fe station and eight blocks from the new Post Office building. The purchase price was our one-half block of ground on E. Boulder street and $3,700. Seven hundred dollars of this amount was paid in cash and a mortgage of $3,000, at 6 per cent interest, was assumed. Possession of the building will be given in April, and we learn that it is thought to have an opening in September. Too much credit and praise cannot be given to Rev. Braxton, who in the face of many difficulties, succeeded in E A. M.E. CHURCH COLORADO SPRINGS bringing this great boon for the super annuated preachers and this valuable property to the church. Every minister should hail it with joy and do all in his power to make the movement a great success. HON. CHARLES W. ANDERSON HONORED. Special to Colorado Statesman New York, Feb. 9. At the great banquet given at the Cafe Boulevard, New York City, a few evenings ago, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the Second District of New York City, was the only representative of the Negro people present. The assemblage was called together in honor of Nathan Straus, the philanthropist, who has done so much through his pasteurized milk laboratories to save the lives of children, not only in New York City, but in other large cities of the United States as well. More than 800 guests sat down to the banquet table. Addresses were made by Governor John A. Dix, William Randolph Hearst, editor of the New York American and other publications; Borough President George A. McAenny and numbers of others representing the highest financial and official importance. The menu cards were very expensive souvenirs, being bound in white moire silk and containing, aside from a short sketch of Mr. Straus' philanthropies, the menu, the invitation committee, and an especially designed page showing Mr. Straus' picture surrounded with pictures of the laboratories through which are dispensed pasteurized milk, which has been the chief of Mr. Straus' philanthropy. The list of guests, alphabetically arranged, contains the names of such important personages as August Belmont, the traction magnate; Andrew Carnegie, W. Bourke Cochran, Paul D. Cravath, John D. Crimmins, Robert W. DeForest, of the Sage Foundation; William G. McAdoo, the Hudson tunnel builder; Dr. R. S. Macarthur, Henry Phipps, and a great number of others, representing the most important activities of New York's religious, financial and official life. Collector Anderson's name is engraved as the second in the list of the important personages, who composed the invitation and arrangement committee, which was responsible for tendering this banquet. The Negro people were worthily represented. ALBUOUERQUE NEWS. John Harris of Trinidad, Colo. is a new arrival in the city. Will Ford, a cook died at the Listen hospital last week. Mrs. H. E.

The Duke City K. of P. Lodgo held public installation at their hall last Monday evening. A large crowd was present to hear and witness the beautiful cerem.ony. The following officers were installed: Theo. Brinson, C. C.; J. Alexander, V. C.; J. B. Lott, M. of E; C. N. Payne, K. of R. and S.; Logan, K. of F. "Hook Worm and Poor Whites. Providence, R. L., Feb. 7.—In an editorial on "That Hook Worm and the Poor Whites," the Daily Evening News writes: "While there are many who refuse seriously consider the claim that there was such a thing as a 'hook worm,' when it was first advanced, believing that some sympathetic and inventive genius had coined the phase in order to afford an excuse for the lazy poor whites of the South, still when the munificent John D. Rockefeller gave a million dollars for 'investigation, eradication and prevention of the disease,' interest in the subject grew. 'Now comes a writer who seeks to put upon the Negro the onus of bringing the worm with him. The writer evidently pays less attention to logic than he does to rhetoric. Otherwise he would not have stated at the outset that in 1782 Goeze, a German clergyman and zooogist, discovered what he called the hair-round worm in the intestines of a badger, and that Froelich, seven years later, discovered the same parasite in the intestines of a fox, and gave it the name 'hook worm.' Now Germany is not the inhabitat of the Negro, nor is there anything in common between the Negro and the badger and fox. These animals that gave the world the hook worm preferred Germany to Africa, it seems. 'But the writer, with these facts before him, insists upon concluding that 'it has been fairly assumed that in the beginning the Negroes brought the hook worm with them from Africa on the slave ships.' 'As a matter of fact, the assumption is not even fair to the writer, nor to the Germans nor to the Negroes. There were men of German descent in America before there were Negroes, and there were foxes and badgers here before either Germans or Negroes came. 'There were lazy white men in the South in 1607 who vied with the indolent red man and lacked none of that noble warrior's contempt for all forms of work. The hook worm in his most anemic condition is a dynamo of efficiency and strenuously compared with many 'poor whites' of this type, and would probably be a propelling force if not an inspiration to them.' RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Muskogee, Ckla., Feb. 6.—In his charge to the Federal Grand Jury, last Thursday, Federal District Judge Campbell held that the "grandfather clause" election law of Oklahoma is void. He said the clear purpose of the law was to disfranchise Negroes, and that therefore it violated the Fifteenth Amendment. Negroes in New York city are reported to be elated over the prospects of the formation of a Negro militia regiment. Gov. Dix's consent has been obtained, it is said, although Gov. Hughes was opposed to the project. It is singular that the governor whose consent has been is a Democrat. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 10. Taking the cue from Baltimore, an ordinance has been introduced in the City Council segregating the colored people to certain neighborhoods. The proposed measure which is modeled after the Baltimore law, provides that white people shall not move into colored neighborhoods and vice versa. The penalty for violations of the measure is a fine of $100, or not less than 30 days or more than twelve months in the work house or both. The Hot Springs Echo says: "Every time a white man says something favorable of a Negro or a white paper produces what is considered as an article 'fair' toward Negro interests many of our people proceed to have connionation fits and almost go into hysteries over the matter. But the hundreds of poor Negro writers who at the risk of life and property perform a 'labor of love' in standing up for the rights of their people, seldom if ever receive the slightest notice of commendation. Chicago, Feb. 7.—Twelve colored persons are severely injured today, following a race riot which occured in the aristocratic part of Hyde Park. The colored people had recently moved into the neighborhood, and their intrusion in the exclusive portion of the suburb was resented. Seventy five whites armed with revolvers, were included in a party which attacked them, wrecked the building and drove the terrified occupants into the streets. Several patrol wagons of police were necessary to quell the disturbance. Baltimore, Md., February 1.—Rev Dr. Scipio Newton, a native of the Argentine Republic, is delivering lectures in local churches describing the condition of the colored people of South American countries. Ih an interview today he said that there was no color line South America, a man being recognized according to his general worth. "Colored men in my country," said the South American, "occupy a prominent place in the doings of the country. The president of the country, Alcarty, has a strain of Negro blood in his veins, and one of his relatives, Pedro Alcarta, is chief. The foremost and most influential judge of one of the circuit courts, member of the Argentine senate is a colored man. Austin, Texas —Tom Brown, the congenial porter in the adjutant general's department, won another distinction last week. The incoming governor and administration made the announcement that they were going to make changes in all departments from chief clerks to spittoon washers. Mr. Brown, who has been in this position for several years and connected with several fraternities and also quartermaster general of the colored militia came under this order. A Swede was given the position, but after a week's trial was discharged, and Tom Brown was reinstated. Governor Campbell, the retiring governor, said, "Tom is the best penman in the state capitol and his services are required in all the departments at different intervals to do expert and fancy writing of different documents. The matter of the appointment of the Hon. J. C. Napier, of this city, and the leading Negro politician in the state, to be Register of Treasury of the United States has again been brought into prominence by despatches that appeared in the daily papers this week. One of them read as follows: "Representative Austin called upon the President recently in regard to the contemplated appointment of Hon. J. C. Napier, our distinguished fellow townman, to the position of register of the treasury, to succeed Hon. William T. Vernon, who now holds the position. It was announced during the last campaign that Mr. Napier would be appointed to the position, but no action has been taken, and Mr. Austin called on the President to inquire whether there had been any change in the plan to appoint him. Mr. Austin was informed that there had been no change in the plan, and that Mr. Napier would be appointed within a few days.—Nashville Globe.

Western members of the Senate, representing sheep and wool growing states, are considerably concerned over that part of the proposed recip- rocity treaty with Canada which pro- Vide for free admission into the United States of Canadian sheep. The Presi- dent, in transmitting the proposed treaty to Congress, called attention to the fact that Canada raises compara- tively few wool sheep and that her tex- tie manufacturers are unimportant. The Western senators familiar with the sheep and wool growing business are apprehensive that with the stimu- las which will be given to the growth or the industry in Canada by remoy- ing the duty on the admission of sheep ito the United States, the raising of sheep there will increase at the ex- pense of the industry in this country.

Claiming that Russia has violated the treaty of 1832 with the United States by denying Jewish citizens of this country the privilege extended tu other American travelers Representa- tive Parsons of New York introduced a resolution in the House calling upow President Taft to declare the treaty void: ‘Through the injection of the race question into the hitherto compara- tively commonplace discussion in the Senate of the resolution providing for the election of senators by direct yote, Senator Root of New York and Senator Bacon of Georgia lifted that controversy to a plane of almost sen sational interest. Carrying forward his campaign for Canadian reciprocity, President Taft, Jat Columbus, Ohio, made a direct ap- |peal to the American farmer on that Jissue. He declared that the impres- sion that reciprocity with the Domin. ion would injure the farmer was with. out foundation and by statistics he sought to lend actual proof to his as: sertions. Secretary Dickinson has given no- tice to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the California & Atlantic Steamship Company of the termina- tion of the existing arrangement whereby those carriers are allowed 70 per cent of the total freight charge on goods transported between New | York and San Francisco via the Pana- ma railroad. ‘The McCall bill carrying into effect the Canadian reciprocity agreement reached the floor of the House and probably will be passed before ad- journment immediately. When the voting began it became apparent that the lines were being tightly drawn be- tween those favoring and those oppos- ig the trade agreement.

With the Massachusetts statutes and decisions, relating to the construction of the Hoosac tunnel, before him, Representative Gaines M. Allen cut clear from all legal obstructions when might have been thrown across his pathway when he drew up the bill providing for state construction of the Moffat tunnel. Representative Allen had the legislative and judicial guides of Massachusetts to follow in the preparation of his bill, and he affirms that direct constitutional authority for the construction of the Moffat tunnel by the state of Colorado is in no sense necessary to validate the act. In the method of payment for construction work he carefully followed the system employed in the construction of ditches and reservoirs for irrigation. The bill appropriates $5,000,000 for the construction of the tunnel, or so much thereof as may be necessary. The Slatery bill provides for the creation of a State Auditing Board. creation of a State University. One of the most important county division matters now before the Legislature is the one proposed to be created by the three precincts of Rouse, Pryor and Midway. It would also include the mining camps of Delagua, Hastings, Berwind, Tobasco, Tercio and other coal camps to the number of twenty-seven, centering about Aguilar, which town desires to be the county seat. The people of Aguilar have pledged $15,000 for the erection of court house and jail. The proposed new county has a population of 14,000. In the mater of local option Senator Hecker presented two bills to amend the present liquor laws by giving to all incorporated town and cities, which have a population of 2,000 and under, the absolute right to pass upon the "wet" and "dry" question, regardless of whether action was taken by the county in which the municipalities are situated. Under these bills, by a majority vote, saloons could be conducted in cities notwithstanding the county, as a whole, voted "dry." The Dowd bill, directing the state treasurer to repay to the internal improvement fund $150,000 and interest which was borrowed from the fund for the capital building fund in 1891, passed the house. A bill by Representative Durfee appropriating $10,000 for the maintenance of summer normal schools at Greeley and Gunnison, was referred to the committee on appropriations. Favorable report was made by the committee of the House on Senator Hilts' bill providing that unexpended balances of appropriations be transferred to the respective funds from which they were drawn. That a state tax commission is sorely needed to alter, revise or amend the revenue laws of Colorado is the opinion of Senator Cros, who introduced a bill providing for the submission of a constitutional amendment for this purpose at the next general election. The Van Tilborg bill provides that the deputy labor commissioner shall be state boiler inspector and shall have the appointment of four deputy inspectors, who shall receive $5 per day and mileage in the sum of $50 per month. All of the "sacred paramounts," bequeathed by the late extra session to the Eighteenth General Assembly for enactment, including registration, public utilities commission, bank guarantee, headless ballot and anti-pass measures, have been introduced and docketed in either House or Senate. Senator Cary's bill to re-establish the Ninth judicial district was passed on third reading. This act was amended by excluding Jackson county from the re-established district, leaving that county as a part of the Eighth district. A commission of public corrections, to take over the control of the penitentiary, state reformatory insane asylum, industrial schools for boys and girls, state homes for mental and physical defectives, as well as to exercise paroling and correctional functions, is the object of a bill in the preparation of which Senators Carringer, Stephen and Hilts collaborated. The Van Tilborg bill seeks to prohibit employers from demanding of their employees, present or prospective, that they renounce membership in labor unions and other organizations as a condition of employment. It is known as an anti-blacklist measure. There are doubts as to its constitutionality. If this bill passes the House and is signed by the governor, it means an end to all such organizations as the Cripple Creek Mine Owners' Association, at least in regard to the enforcement by such associations of the card system of employing labor which has been in vogue in the Cripple Creek district for the last seven years. But a number of senators expressed the opinion that the act will not stand the test of the law. The bill, copied from the Illinois act of 1899, makes it a felony to bring workmen to Colorado under false pretenses for the purpose of breaking a strike, or of taking the places of workmen locked out of employment. Under penalty of imprisonment and a maximum fine of $2,000, no person, firm, or corporation, can bring strike-breakers into Colorado under armed guard. Senator Skinner's resolution for the installation of a window in the Supreme Court chamber to the late Chief Justice Steele was unanimously adopted. TAFT ANGRY; CANADA SCARED INTERNATIONAL EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY ALLUSION TO CANADIAN ANNEXATION. REMARKS MADE IN JOCULAR SPIRIT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY FOREIGNERS. Washing-on.—The semi-jocular remark which Champ Clark, the Democratic speaker-to-be, made in the House Wednesday in the debate on the Canadian reciprocity agreement, that he believed the Stars and Stripes would one day float over the entire Western hemisphere, stirred up most unexpected trouble. President Taft took occasion to write to Representative McCall, introducer of the reciprocity bill, disclaiming and deprecating the annexation talk, and to follow it up with personal remarks even more emphatic to his visitors. The news that Mr. Clark's allusions had created excitement in Canada and in England occasioned great surprise and considerable amusement at the capitol. The man most surprised of all was Mr. Clark himself. Mr. Clark's entire speech on reciprocity was delivered in a half humorous, half taunting vein. The House was in a gale of laughter most of the time. This humorous exchange reflected the spirit of the debate during the time Mr. Clark was on his feet, and no one gave serious consideration to h's remarks regarding the possible annexation of Canada. They regarded his statements in the nature of a compliment to the Canadian people, in that he would be glad to see the friendship that exists at present between the Canadians and the people of the United States so ripen in the future that all might some day be under one flag. There was a further touch of facetiousness to the debate when one of the Republicans asked Mr. Clark if he would like to be the first President of the magnificent union he was creating, and he replied, amid a burst of laughter, that he certainly would. The excitement abroad was attributed at the capitol in part to the fact that several English and Canadian newspaper correspondents were in the press gallery following the debate when Mr. Clark spoke. His remarks may have appealed to them as the most important feature of the story and have been cabled accordingly. In "skeletonizing" his remarks for cable purposes, the semi-humorous character of the debate probably was entirely lost sight of. Friends of the reciprocity measure were inclined to take the view that opponents of the agreement had simply seized upon what was regarded here as an entirely personal and harmless statement to make capital against the ratification of the agreement. A declaration similar to that made by Mr. Clark was contained in the opening speech last Monday in favor or the reciprocity bill in the House, denvered by Representative Hill of Connecticut, a member of the ways and means committee, and a member of the administration party. The White House is said to regard the remarks of Mr. Clark as most unfortunate and the President has made it known that he would like to have it understood throughout the world that his administration had no thought whatever of annexation when the reciprocity agreement was arranged. Fight Ahead for Senate. Washington.—As the result of many conferences in cloakrooms and other places in the Capitol, the friends of the resolution for direct election of senators determined upon a decided move forward. Senator Borah voiced his purpose in a formal notice that he soon would ask the Senate to sit until a vote should be reached. Distribution of Pure Milk New York.—To provide pure milk for children the Sinking Fund Commission has authorized the leasing of twelve sites for depots. The work of distributing the milk supply is to be under the jurisdiction of the Board of Health. Pope Suffering from Influenza. Rome.—Pope Plus X. is suffering from a slight attack of influenza and is confined to his bed. The disease has affected his throat. Common Court Holds Session. Washington. In the court room of the United States Court of Customs Appeals, the recently established Commerce Court held its first public session. The jurisdiction of this court extends over all litigation involving transportation. Philadelphia. Alfred Shrubb, the English runner, defeated Johnny Hayes of New York in a twelve-mile match race at the American Athletic Club. SEEING THE CAPITAL SEEING THE CAPITAL SOME SIGHTS IN WASHINGTON HUMOROUSLY PORTRAYED. The White House Considered by Statesmen of Exacting Tastes as Most Desirable Residence in the Country. The White House, in Washington, which a large number of statesmen of exacting tastes consider the most desirable residence in the country, is surrounded by an iron fence, which is not so easy to climb over as it looks to be. Many of the ablest climbers have been painfully deceived as to its height and the sharp- U.S. CAPITOL ness of the spikes on the top. The iron pickets are decorated every four years with fragments of the clothing of some hardy American who has tried to scale them. A broken gallus, a piece of blue jeans or a torn fragment of a hickory shirt fluttering from the top of this fence is all the evidence the experienced Washingtonian needs to tell him that another presidential election has passed into history. The White House is conveniently located near the treasury. In the early days this was a very handy arrangement for the president, who could step across the street Saturday CAMOUFLAGE Not So Easy to Climb Over. morning and draw his pay before the other hired hands could beat him to it from the capitol a mile away. The first comer got cash, while the late ones had to take orders on the grocery store. A hundred years ago one of the sights of Washington was to witness the race down Pennsylvania avenue between the vice-president and speaker when the whistle blew at noon on Saturday. All that is changed now. It has been many years since the president has had to stand on the front steps in the cold and argue with the man sent to turn off the water, and one almost never sees the first lady of the land scurrying out the back door and 'cross lots just before dinnertime to borrow a cup of sugar from the nearest farmhouse. Visitors at the White House now look in vain for the nails in the walls of the East room where the wives of early pres- Lonely Exit Four Years Later. identes hung their clotheslines. The only things that are being up in the East room now are the applications for postmasterships, which frequently remain suspended until the applicant dies at an advanced age. The advantages of living in the White House are many. The rooms are large and sunny, the furnace does not act up and it has been years since any trouble was experienced with the kitchen sink. Persons who have lived in the White House rarely care to live anywhere else. They want to die there. To have to move out to make way for a strange family which has wheeled a lease out of the landlord, and go and live in a flat where the dumb wafter makes a disagreeable noise and the people overhead leave the hall door open while frying ham, is one of the annoying but inevitable prospects that confront every tenant of this otherwise agreeable residence. Many occupants have hardly had time to decide in which corner of the Blue room they prefer to have the piano when they have to move out, and another family moves in and changes the pictures around on the walls, turns the rugs the other way round and puts the canary bird up in the attic. An examination of the leases that have been made out to the various tenants shows that none of them has occupied the premises more than eight years, and many have had their leases canceled in half that time. This record seems to show that the landlord is very particular. He always draws his leases to terminate on the 4th of March every four years, and when he makes up his mind not to renew it the family may as well understand he will be waiting out on the front porch promptly at 12 o'clock on the day named, ready to set their trunk out in the street. It furnishes an instructive commentary on the transitoryness of human felicity to see the ex-tenant slowly and sadly climb over the fence and take a hack for the depot while his successor trips gayly up the steps, puts his suitcase down in the hall, kicks off his rubbers, tosses his hat over on the piano and tells the bowing attendant to order him pork chops and hashed brown potatoes for dinner. As the former tenant drives off down the avenue he can hear his successor trying the piano and perhaps hears the dying squawk of the parrot as its neck is wrung before it is thrown out the back door. Twenty-seven presidents have lived in the White House. If some of them had not scratched their names on the attic wall it would be difficult today to recall who they were. One after another they have been ushered into the noble mansion with the joyful acclaim of their fellow countrymen, only to make their lonely exit four years later through the cellar door, with no one to carry their grips to the street car, and with no record of accomplishment to leave behind save the faint marks of their feet on the cabinet room table. Yet it is not doubted that ambitious Americans will continue to try to reach the White House. Although the present lease does not expire for two years several governors and senators have recently been observed examining the fence to see if the pickets have been greased since the last time an attempt was made to shin up them. It is customary to give four months' warning of the cancellation of a White House lease, from November to March, and until that time comes it is believed the prospective tenants will not be able to obtain any definite assurance of favorable consideration. In the meantime, however, they probably will continue to prowl around the place and pick out the spot where they will have a geranium bed if they get the chance. STORIES OF SUPREME COURT Crop of Late Has Been Unusually Large Since Appointment of New Justices. The crop of supreme court stories has been very prolific of late because a new chief justice and two associate justices have been appointed and confirmed. Two of the best are reminiscences of Ben Salinger, an Iowa attorney, and an Arkansas lawyer named Reed. Salinger was in the midst of an argument before the court when the hour for adjournment, 4:30 came. The court arose and started for the robing room. "Wait a minute! Wait until I have finished the thread of my argument." It was such an unprecedented incident that court attaches, who take the dignity of the court quite as seriously the justices, were astounded. The nine justices showed they were only human after all by smilingly resuming their seats and listening until Salinger said: "Now, Your Honors, I have finished and you may retire." Reed of Arkansas in addressing the court did not follow the conventional terms, much to the horror of the attaches and amusement of the justices. Realizing his mistake, the attorney from Arkansas said: "I owe the court an apology for addressing it as I would a court in Arkansas, and I most humbly ask your pardon. When I get back to Arkansas I will also apologize to that court." No Labels on Foreign Letters. Postmaster General Hitchcock is somewhat puzzled that patrons of the mails positively refuse to understand that letters and parcels intended for transmission to foreign countries must not bear upon their face any adhesive stamp or label other than the regular postage stamp. The prohibition, however, does not extend to domestic letters intended for delivery in the United States. No stamps, however, other than those issued by the government should be placed upon matter intended for delivery in European countries. Guatemala, Uruguay and Portugal will not permit delivery through the international mails of any mails bearing any labels. Pokes Fun at Europeans. Senator Flint of California, who refused that unusual thing, a practically unanimous re-election to the United States senate, because he prefers the climate of California to that of Washington and the practice of law to a United States senatorship, spent last summer in Europe. He pokes a good deal of fun at Europeans, and says that they think that the American idea of a joyous occasion is to be shown through a musty old cathedral. Senator Flint does not think much of their cathedrals, which he thinks are dirty.

WE wonder if the people of Colorado like all this noise that is being made over the election of a United States Senator to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Hughes. Such a contingency was not foreseen when Legislature was elected, and the unexpected requirement seems to have given an over-anxious wing of the Democratic majority nearly mad. Legislative deadlocks are not unusual things, but the noise that is being made over this one in Colorado shows what splendid acoustic properties the Colorado house of Democracy possesses. But what a bedlam it raises in the eyes of all the people! It affords another comparison with the ways of Republican legislatures. It should disclose to the people of Colorado the difference between orderly conservative administrations and the irresponsible, haphazard sort which occasionally are voted into control. If what these Democrats are saying of one another is half true, they have no men entirely fit for the honor over which they are fighting. The people might bear the embarassing spectacle if they could get the aid of it out of their ears. Then when they remember that the next Legislature will be called upon to elect another United States Senator they can begin to imagine how long this unseemly racket is to be kept up, provided the sign of Democracy is continued. Are the conservative, orderly people of Colorado so much in the mind that all this rabble can be called representative of the public sense? Are the things which give birth to revolutions in South America and Egypt appropriate ingredients of Colorado character also? Is a party that cannot govern itself fit to be trusted to govern the people? And can it be possible that progressive Colorado will be satisfied with her future course shaped by those who spend the greater part of the devising ways to increase the demoralizing din of their quarrelsome people?

A WORLD-WIDE RACE ISSUE. MR. MELVILLE E. STONE, president of the Associated Press and an experienced traveler, recently returned from the Far East, has brought home Americans some interesting facts regarding the tendency of white men adopt a course of conduct in their relations with the people of the continent calculated to aggravate the problem of race prejudice by greatly broadening the field over which its baneful influence extends, with a warning that the continuance of the tendency means the recognition and acceptance of an issue which threatens to destroy the friendship of advancing nations and create a moral conflict world-wide in its influence. The European job, he says, and his coadjutor in this country are criminal yoke-fellowship, "from Bombay to Yokohama there is not a social club at any port MR. MELVILLE E. STONE, president of the Associated Press and an experienced traveler, recently returned from the Far East, has brought home to Americans some interesting facts regarding the tendency of white men to adopt a course of conduct in their relations with the people of the Orient calculated to aggravate the problem of race prejudice by greatly broadening the field over which its baneful influence extends, with a warning that the continuance of the tendency means the recognition and acceptance of an issue which threatens to destroy the friendship of advancing nations and create a moral conflict world-wide in its influence. The European snob, he says, and his coadjutor in this country are criminal yoke-fellows. For, "from Bombay to Yokohama there is not a social club at any port or treaty point where a native, whatever his culture or refinement, will be admitted." In Calcutta he attended a ball at Government House, and noted that while native princesses were dancing with white men, a score of native gentlemen stood about as "wall flowers." Lady Minto explained that "no white woman would think of dancing with a native; it would mean social ostracism." In the Philippines "a ruffian American soldier, recruited from the slums of New York, shoves a native gentleman from the sidewalk of Manila with an oath, calling him a 'nigger', yet that 'nigger' is very likely a cultivated gentleman, educated at Sorbonne in Paris." In Yokahama early concessions were given to English and Russian merchants for race track, cricket field and golf links. When the city expanded this land became the center of the town, which now has a population of nearly a million. The town authorities wished to use it, and to give another piece of land in the suburbs to which convenient trains now ran. The foreigners demurred, and the town compromised by paying for the improvements on the cricket field and furnishing a new one free of cost. The foreigners also declined to pay taxes on their buildings, and this question is now before The Hague court of arbitration. Yet no native Japanese gentleman has ever been permitted to enter the club house or grand stand, or to play upon the cricket field. These conditions, says Mr. Stone, cannot long endure. Politically, we are in grave danger, and Americans will do well to ponder the following facts: Commercially, with their industry and frugality, the members of the yellow race are fast outstripping us. They have ceased buying flour from us because they are grinding Indian and Manchurian wheat with Chinese labor. Pig iron, manufactured at Hankow, they are delivering to Seattle cheaper than we can produce it. In India, with American machinery, they are making shoes so cheaply that the manufacturers of Lynn can no longer compete with them. On the political side Mr. Stone says that the Asian has discovered that a yellow man behind a gun is quite as effective as a white man. To all this must be added the growing race question in South Africa, where the Union of South African States has been recently established. The policy of perpetual exclusion and the ban of never-ending inferiority grind harder as races progress. While progressive and thoughtful men are beginning to talk of a world civilization which shall link the people of all nations in one great bond of fellowship, race prejudice, the incurable malady of the masses of the white population of the earth continues to effectually bar the way and to invite its destruction by the sympathetic union of all the other peoples. Too Friendly Chicago Salesman Learns Lesson of "Road" SALESMAN'S desire to extend his acquaintance is laudable, but he must use judgment in the manner in which he does it. A John L. Vance (which is not his name), the head salesman of a large Chicago house, had just returned the night before from a trip through Kansas. He was seated at his desk dictating when two detectives from the Central station presented themselves for admission. "Are you John L. Vance?" they asked. "I am," was the reply. "And is this — Michigan avenue?" "It is." "I am sorry," said one of the detectives, showing his star, "but we will have to ask you to accompany us to the station. We have had a telegram from the sheriff at McPherson, Kan., giving us your full name and address, asking us to hold you on charge of fraud." Mr. Vance was dumfounded. He had only been in McPherson over night, had failed to sell his man any goods, had paid his hotel bill, and left town the following morning. At the police station he convinced the chief that there must be some mistake, and was released upon his promise to return the following morning, at which time further details were expected. When Vance arrived at his office in the morning there was a telegram on his desk from a clothing firm at McPherson which read as follows: "Unless you wire money, will imprison you for obtaining goods under false pretenses." The sender of the telegram Vance had never heard of. Nor did the description received from McPherson at the police station during the day fit him. The chief was satisfied of the mistake and dismissed his suspect. Then Vance began to think. He remembered that on the train as he was nearing McPherson his companion in the smoker had been a dapper young man with whom he had exchanged cards, after a few minutes of conversation. It afterwards developed that this man had presented the card and obtained a suit of clothes, asking the dealer to send the bill around to the hotel the following evening. His expense funds were expected, was the man's excuse for not paying cash. He had missed his check in the last town. THE The merchant consulted a "rating" book, and as Mr. Vance's firm was well rated the credit was granted. Needless to say, neither the dapper young man nor the suit of clothes were to be found in the hotel the following evening. The register showed that Mr. Vance had left that morning. It is nothing new for any intelligent and thinking person to be told that the average prowling dog and cat is not a safe companion for children or a proper inmate of our homes, but the writer begs most emphatically to take exception to the opinion of the learned specialist who places all of these faithful fireside companions under the ban. Some Felines Not Disease Carriers By MRS. S. S. KELLOGG Take, for instance, the beautiful Persian and other fine breeds of cats which adorn so many homes these days and also are to be found in many of the fine catteries of the city. They never see the outside of homes unless in harness or carefully guarded; must they, perforce, be banished from the face of the earth because the prowlers are dangerous? Will the learned doctor be a little fairer and discriminate between those that are dangerous and those that are not? It would seem, were these family pets to be entirely eliminated, as if there would be a lack of the home environment of which poets have for so many years gang. Leave us a few just a little longer, doctor, for there are many among us who love dogs and cats and need them for friends. Should a woman balk at the idea of living with her mother-in-law and carry her objection so far as to part with her husband on that account? Wife's Duty to Follow Her Husband By SAMUEL R. RICE of Denver Duty to Follow Her Husband By SAMUEL R. RICE of Denver She cannot in our community, at least, maintain a valid divorce suit on the ground of being deserted by her husband. Recently a Denver wife asked for a legal separation on the ground that her husband insisted that they make their home at his mother's. To this she would not agree, and the pair went their several ways. One of our judges before whom the suit was filed could not see the plaintiff's side and refused to grant a decree. Instead he read the woman a lecture, saying it was a wife's duty to follow her husband and make her home with him. The plaintiff instead of being deserted, had herself committed desertion and had no real basis for bringing the action. The church bells whose tolling we are so much accustomed to hear seem indispensable for announcing the time of meetings and church services. Loud Church Bells Annoy Many Sick By OLIVER CLARENCE MALROSE Among the Mohammedans, instead of the bell, a man, a priest, stands on top of the temple to announce the time of service. Among the Hebrews in little Russian towns they formerly had "synagogue callers"—stentors—whose main duty was to walk from street to street to call the people to the synagogue. But in modern times a clock or watch is found in every house and hovel, and the "synagogue caller" has been dispensed with, as every Hebrew knows the exact hours when services are held. Why not dispense with the tolling of stupendous bells which frequently annoy the unfortunate sick in their immediate vicinity and let those who wish to attend services advert to the clock or watch?

The north pole is the place of greatest dignity in the world; and the people who dwell near it "have a wonderful excellency, and an exceeding preregative above all nations of the earth." How blessed we may think this nation to be; for they are in perpetual light, and never know what darkness meaneth, by the benefit of twilight and full moons, as the learned in astronomy do very well know, which people, if they have the notice of their eternity by the comfortable light of the Gospel, are they blessed and of all nations most blessed. Why then do we neglect the search of this excellent discovery, against which there can be nothing said to hinder the same?—From Hakuyt's Voyages (Sixteenth Century). In Mexican Cemeteries. Guanajuato, in Mexico, has a municipal cemetery, with accompanying hall of mummified horrors. These catacombs are simply tiers of masonry pigeonholes, divided like the letter boxes in our postoffice, only, say, seven feet in depth and eighteen inches in width and height. The coffin in each sealed up with a slab of marble duly inscribed. The interments of the first class cost 100 pesos and give the corpse permanent tenure, while those of the second class cost twenty-five pesos and carry only a five-year occupancy, after which the cubby hole is cleared out and rented to another tenant.—Victor Rosewater in Leslie's. Marlonette Theater. One of the features of the theatrical exposition which took place in Munich recently was the marionette theater, of which an American, who attended one of the performances, writes: "The Munich zoo, where the exhibition took place, swarmed with theatrical people, artisls and patrons of the stage. Every person found something to interest him, but the puppet theater was the chief attraction for us. We saw two performances—Offenbach's 'Pretty Maid of Elizando' and 'King Viola and Princess Clarinetette', by Muhlmann and Scherber. So closely did spoken words harmonize with the acting of the figures and so exactly did the manipulators of the strings and wires make the action suit the word that one fancied he saw living pygmies on the stage." A Restroom. A room the woman of the house calls the "restroom" is papered in soft gray and has green hangings. The furniture is light oak with green soft pillows here and there and the big sofa is upholstered in green. The window shades are dark enough to subdue the light. Thus the room is in most admirable taste and soothes the nerves. When the woman of the house is tired she runs to the restroom for a few minutes and gets her mental balance. Disraeli and the Cabman. To be recognized by a cabman sets the seal on truly famous. Disraeli was really and truly famous. Lady Dorothy Nevill calls to mind a Beaconsfield bonst. He was getting into a hansom when the driver opened the trap door. "I know who you are, sir," he said, "I have read all your books, bar 'Lothair.'" But there is a reserve to every medal. Beaconsfield once suffered a setback. "I walked with Gladstone on Tuesday," wrote Lord Houghton, "and when he left me a gentleman came up and said, 'Might I ask if that was Mr. Disraeli?' Such is fame."—London Chronicle. Your Task. Thus man is made equal to every event. He can face danger for the right. A poor, tender, painful body, he can run into flame or bullets or pestilence, with dury for his guide. He feels the insurance of a just employment. I am not afraid of accidents, so long as I am in my place. It is strange that superior persons should not feel that they have some better resistance against cholera than avoiding green peas and salads. Life is hardly respectable—is it?—if it has no generous, guaranteeing task, no duties or affections, that constitute a necessity of existing. Every man's task is his life preserver. The conviction that his work is dear to God and cannot be spared, defends him.—Emerson. 200 Miles an Hour. Two hundred miles an hour is Grahame-White's estimate of the speed an aeroplane must attain before it will come into general commercial use. He adds that wood will have to give way to steel in aeroplane construction. Trains, he says, make 80 and 90 miles an hour, and the bird man must do better to win commercial patronage. He adds: "It's when we get the rate of 150 or 200 miles an hour that the fun will begin. It will be perfectly possible for passengers to endure such swift movement, because they will be in a tight chamber, like a submarine boat, where they will not feel the wind. Couldn't Understand It. "This stock," said the promoter, "is fully paid up and nonassessable." "Well, if it's fully paid up," replied the man who was inexperienced in such matters, "I can't see why you want me to put money into it. Wouldn't that be unfair to the people who paid it up?" Mrs. R.

Add one tablespoon full of sugar, a little salt, one egg and flour enough to make it hold together. Spread on the pan, having the mixture one-third of an inch thick. Bake in hot oven. Split and eat with syrup. Wafer Biscuit (for invalids)—One pint flour, one tablespoonful butter, one saltspoonful salt, white of one egg, warm new milk enough to make a stiff dough. Mix salt with flour; rub in the butter, add the beaten white of egg and milk enough to make a stiff dough. Beat half an hour with a rolling pin without ceasing. Break off a little piece of dough at a time and roll it out as thin as paper. Cut into large rounds. Prick with small wooden skewer and bake quickly without burning. Gluten Wafers (gluten is a preparation of wheat flour without the starch—Half a cup of sweet cream and one saltspoonful of salt. Stir in gluten flour enough to make a stiff dough.

Wash cap in luk warm water with ivory soap that has been boiled to a jelly, add a little borax, do not rub cap, just squeeze with hands, as rubbing pulls cap out of shape. Rinse in lukwarm water with a little borax; do not hang cap on clothes line; make a head form as near to the shape of the cap and the size of the head to be worn on, as possible. Make firm by sewing a piece of muslin the shape of cap. Stuff form with excelsior or clothes; have form stuffed tight and evenly; if cap has shrunk, make form larger than cap; if inclined to stretch make smaller; put cap on form to dry in a hot place. If above directions are followed your cap will not look as if it had been laundered, but it will look as if it just came from the store, and will not be out of shape. Baked Fish Wi' Oatmeal Balls. For this dish the middle cut of a good cod is the best. A convenient size is about two pounds in weight. Wash it, remove the skin and allow it to stand with a little salt sprinkled over it for a few hours. Then dry it and place in a large pudding dish that has been well buttered. Pour one cupful of milk and the same of water, and bake for half an hour. Mix together half a pound of oatmeal, six ounces of chopped suet, and seasoning of salt, pepper and chopped parsley. Blind with a beaten egg and a little water. Make into small balls, cover with fine dry oatmeal, and dip into the pudding dish. Allow all to cook for another half hour. Hickory Nut Ice Cream. Pound one pound of shelled hickory nut meats in a mortar until they are a fine paste; add them to a quart of cream and set one side while you prepare a custard made from a pint of milk, three eggs and a cup of sugar; keep stirring until it thickens, so that it will not curdle; take from the fire, add another cup of sugar, and set where it will cool; when quite cold add the cream with the hickory nut meats, then freeze.

J. Edwards Divine Sat at Lincoln's Feet Incident of McKinley's Death Incident of McKinley's Death Dr. John P. Gulliver, Hearing Him Speak, Was Tremendously Impressed and Believed Him Divinely Selected to Lead. After Abraham Lincoln had delivered his now traditional speech at Cooper's Union, in New York, in February, 1860, he was urged to speak in Connecticut, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. At that time these three New England states held their elections in the early spring; and as the spring elections of 1860 were thought likely to reveal what popular feeling was on the question then uppermost in the minds of the people, there was a special eagerness on the part of the young Republican party, then about to enter upon its second presidential campaign, to carry these three states. Mr. Lincoln was willing to speak three times in Connecticut, once in Rhode Island, and, if possible, once in New Hampshire. One of the towns selected in Connecticut for a speech was Norwich, the home of the Republican candidate for governor, William A. Buckingham. One of the men who sat upon the platform the night that Lincoln delivered his Norwich speech was Rev. Dr. John Gulliver. At that time he was one of the most distinguished clergymen in his denomination—the Congregational. He afterwards was president of Knox college, in Lincoln's own state, and later a distinguished professor in Andover seminary, holding that position until his death in 1894. "I had been much impressed by the scanty reports of the speeches made by Mr. Lincoln in his debates with Douglas," said Dr. Gulliver, "and I was especially impressed by the report which appeared in the New York Tribune of the Cooper Union address. But I must say that I was not prepared for what I saw and heard at the meeting in our own Breed hall. Mr. Lincoln had not spoken five minutes before he had me completely under his sway. I sat amazed at the profound logic, irresistible and complete, with which he presented his subject. And I caught my self wondering—as doubtless many another wondered that right—how it had happened that this lawyer of the prairies, unschooled and untutored, had obtained such mastery of the English language and of argument—mastery that rose to heights which appeared to me to be sublime. Mortally Wounded, the Chief Executive Smilingly Welcome a Buffalo Physician Who Previous Day Had Pair Him High Compliment. I believe it was practically the unanimous opinion of those who were near President McKinley at the time of his visit to Buffalo in September, 1901, that at no time during his term as president did he seem so thoroughly happy. He was buoyant, his spirits were high, he was looking forward to an important departure in our economic policy, he had been showered with evidences of the profound esteem and the real affection that the people generally entertained for him. He felt he had obtained the full confidence of his fellow countrymen—that they believed absolutely in his sincerity and integrity of purpose, and his desire to serve the whole people impartially and with fairness. Especially did the president seem to realize all this the day before he was shot down, and he did not hesitate to express his sense of gratitude over the discovery. He had a grateful word for everybody who was presented to him that day and sometimes several words. In the course of the afternoon a prominent physician of Buffalo was presented to the president. There was the usual interchange of formallities, and then the physician presumed upon the good nature of the president to take a little more of his time. "Mr. President," he said, "I want to take this opportunity to say to you that there is no member of your party who more sincerely admires your courage as president, or who has higher personal respect for you, than I. I am not in any sense a politician, and so I can say this to you without an imputation or suspicion that I have some favor to ask. I have no favor to ask of you except the one that I believe is in the hearts of all sincere Americans, and that is, that you shall continue through the remainder of your term as president to bring to your great office the dignity and high achievement which have so far characterized your administration." Probably nothing that was said to the president that day touched him more deeply than the words of this physician, and before he would permit the latter to give way to the guests behind him, the president spoke with feeling and with cordial appreciation of what the physician had said to him. The following day the president, Best Editorial of G.W. Curtis "I was so greatly affected by the speech that when I returned home and went to bed I found it impossible to go to sleep. I lay awake for hours thinking of the speaker and his speech. And finally I was possessed by the thought that I must see him again—must talk with him. Then it occurred to me that he was going to take the six o'clock train in the morning for Providence, where he was to speak in the evening, and I determined to meet him at the station. "I got up at once and dressed, hitched up my old gray horse, and in the early morning drove down to the railroad station. It was a dark, gloomy morning, with a mist rising from the river. Alone, I paced the station platform for about half an hour, and then, through the gloom and the mist, I saw him come around the corner into the alley which led to the station. His tall, gaunt form boomed up grotesquely in the mist. He was unattended, and he swung a carpet bag in his hand as he took giant strides towards the station. "I introduced myself to Mr. Lincoln, Spurred on by Horace Greeley, He Produced a Masterpiece When Depressed in Mind and Suffering From a Severe Cold. "Literary workmanship is a peculiar thing," said George William Curtis, one day, when he was in a reminiscent mood. "I have sometimes labored over a paragraph, or even a phrase, in the hope that I could get the perfect verbal expression that I wanted, only to find that the more severe my labor, the greater my care, the more certainly I missed the mark I was striving for. "On the other hand, I have sometimes written off-hand, so to say, with no especial definite purpose in mind, only to find that I had written at my best—that there was an ease and spontaneity in what I had written and something of my personality or individuality in it. As a result of experiences of this sort I have sometimes wondered whether for prose writing, the swift, spontaneous manner of expressing thought is not best after mortally wounded, lay awaiting the arrival of the physicians and surgeons who had been summoned to his side. As these men arrived one after another and bent over him, the wounded man looked searchingly into each new face. tI was a habit of McKinley's to look intently into the face of every person he met, that he might remember its owner should they two chance to meet again. Finally, all the men of medicine and surgery who had been summoned were present, with one exception, and at last he, too, arrived with all possible speed and bent over the president. For an instant the latter looked piercingly at him, then his eyes lighted up in recognition, a smile parted his lips, and he began to speak, faintly, yet clearly. "Doctor," he said, "it was good of you to come. I remember well what you said to me yesterday, and among other things you told me was this: that you had no favor to ask of me. Today I am not so fortunate—I have to ask a professional favor of you. But before you begin to render me that favor I want to thank you for coming. Again the president smiled into the face bent over him. Then he gently closed his eyes and patiently awaited the services of the physicians and surgeons. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Bismarck was not without superstition, and this always was noticeable on the eve of the new year. From nine o'clock to night until midnight he would not take water in any circumstances from a glass. It was an ancient tradition in the chancellor's family that any one who set the legend at defiance would pass through a serious illness. If another tradition is true, the observance of the family legend must have been a sore trouble to the iron chancellor, for the Paris contemporary from which we take the foregoing says that Bismarck not only loved war, but beer and wines, especially French wines. He was not averse to punch and grog, but on New Year's eve grog was under the ban, for it contains water. The age of universal peace had dawned. "Git yer af'noon entry!" bawled the newsboy, yawning. "All 'bout ther' bein' nothin' doin'!" told him how I had been seized with the idea to meet him at the station, and ended by asking if I could ride a short distance with him. With the utmost good humor—though I afterwards learned he had had but two hours' sleep and had planned to do some resting on the train—he told me that we could sit together while we rode and talk about the matters that were in everybody's mind. And he talked to me for nearly an hour upon the great issue that was before the country. And I sat, content, at his feet. And it seemed to me that I was in the presence of the greatest nature I had ever met. "He left the train at Plainfield," continued Dr. Gulliver, "where it was necessary to change cars for Providence. I caught the early train back, and I remember thinking over and over again on the return: 'This man has been selected of God to lead the United States in the great struggle for a supreme issue.' And when he was nominated for president three months later at Chicago, I felt that my prophetic forecast had been accurate—how marvelously accurate we all know now." (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards, All Rights Reserved.) all—although, of course, such a method would not serve poetry. "You may recall that for a time I did editorial work upon the New York Tribune. It was at a time when Horace Greeley had an ambition to gather around him in the Tribune office almost everyone who had gained with the public some reputation above the ordinary as a writer. My arrangements with him permitted me to make occasional lecture trips. Some of these trips, especially those undertaken in winter, made great drafts upon my strength, so that it often happened I returned home completely worn out, although really a rest of a day or two out me in fighting shape again. "Well, from the particular trip I have in mind I returned to New York depressed in mind and body and bringing a severe cold with me, contracted in the inclement weather that had been my portion the entire two weeks out. I was very glad to be so near my own fireside once more, but as the Tribune office lay on my pathway thither I stopped in there for a minute, not expecting to do any work, but to get my mail and notify Mr. Greeley of my return. "As soon as Mr. Greeley say me he cried out to me in his piping voice: 'George, I am glad you have got here. I want you to write a leader for tomorrow morning's paper'—and he proceeded to outline the subject, which dealt with a delicate foreign situation. "But, Mr. Greeley," I remonstrated, "I am in no condition to write anything. I am used up; I am half sick with a bad cold. And, furthermore, I know very little, or almost nothing, about the subject." "Greeley waved my protests aside. 'Never mind, George, never mind,' he piped, 'you can do it. Turn it over in your mind for a few minutes, then get started, and the editorial will come all right. When you have finished it send it up, and then you can go home." "Well, tired as I was, half sick as I was, little as I knew about the subject, I decided I would do the best I could, for I saw that Greeley really wanted me to write the editorial. So open' perhaps half an hour in the library looking up data, and then I 'started in,' as Greeley called it. It was a little hard at first, but at all I forgot all about my cold, all about my poor aching body, all about everything except the editorial, and my pen traveled rapidly back and forth across the paper. I had not worked so fast—so spontaneously—in months. In a little over an hour I finished the editorial, read it over once, marked it, sent it up to the composing room, and then went home. "The next morning I hardly dared to look at the Tribune for fear that I should be ashamed of my editorial. But instead of that, on reading it in cold type, when I had got my courage screwed up to that point, I found that it was the best editorial I had ever written. It was clear, concise, spontaneous, effective. And a day or two later, when Greeley saw me again, he cried enthusiastically: "George, I told you you could do it if you got started. You never wrote a better editorial, and never will." "I wish," concluded Mr. Curtis, "that some one would explain to me how it was that I, in that condition, without taking much thought, and no especial pains, nevertheless was able to write as I like to write, and as Greeley, who was a very competent judge, liked to have his editors write."

Honor for American Woman HONORABLE Mrs. Grubb, wife of General Grubb, who was formerly United States minister to Spain, is the only woman in the United States who has been honored with the Spanish order of the Order of Noble Ladies of Maria Luisa. She received it recently from the queen of Spain. Mrs. Grubb now resides at Edgewater, N. J. SAVING TIME WITH THE WASH By This Scheme It Really Seems That a Person Can Do Two To the housewife who must do most of her own work here is a saving of time. Fold evenly and shake well a sheet, which lay smoothly on the ironing board. On this iron your daintily embroidered waisties and underwear. After a waist is half ironed, move sheet along and finish waist. A little experience will show you how to run iron on along the hems and edges without extra effort. Turn sheet over, already folded as above, and iron another waist. Lo and behold, you have two articles smoothly ironed. Never sprinkle the sheets. The dampness from the other articles dampens them sufficiently. On pillow cases iron all your handkerchiefs and napkins, collars, etc. You will be surprised at the rapidity with which your basket empties and at the scheming you can do to iron two things at once. Do not iron long on the same sheet or pillow case—you will find it yellowed and worn thin. Only iron till it is nicely smooth. All unstarched articles iron much easier when just taken from the line. Old ginghams, such as kitchen aprons and old house dresses, iron smoothly when just dry, and unsprinkled, even though starched. While the woman is finishing the wash you can be hustling the iron over these things. FIXING THE TOUGH CHICKEN One of the Best Ways by Which Venerable Bird May Be Made Tender and Palatable. When the "chicken" ordered by telephone turns out to be a venerable hen or rooster, do not despair. There are several ways of transforming it into a respectable family piece de resistance. In fact, by the following method such fowls have been made as tender as spring chickens: Let the bird, after drawing, seasoning and stuffing, simmer until over half done. Then place it in the oven with a piece of pork laid over its breast. Pour the liquor over and around the roast in the pan. Finish the cooking in a very hot oven, basting frequently with the drippings. When ready to serve skim off any superfluous fat that may be in the pan before preparing the gravy. The pork prevents the fowl from becoming dry, and if a small onion is also added it will have a more savory flavor. The simmering lessens its toughness. In fact, slow simmering is just the thing for any tough meat, but it should simmer, not boll. Bolling will toughen the tenderest of meat. USEFUL LAUNDRY BENCH The bench should be strongly made and the cross-piece should be about five or six inches wide, upon which the clothes may be laid while being transferred from one tub to another. Provide faucets for the tubs, as it is easier to let the water run off than to break one's back lifting the tubs. The wringer may be placed on the cross-bar. Tapioca Prune Dessert. Put four tablespoonfuls of instantaneous tapioca into a double boiler, and a quarter of a tablespoonful of salt and two cupfuls of milk. Cook for a quarter of an hour. Remove from the fire and add two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter and two well-beaten eggs. Turn into a buttered pudding dish and bake in a moderate oven for 30 minutes. Have ready a cupful of prunes that have been steamed till tender and rubbed through a sieve. Spread this puree over the tapioca. When cold, cover with whipped and sweetened cream. Sprinkle a little pink sugar over the top. Cocoa Pudding. Put a quarter of a pound of stale breadcrumbs into a saucepan with half a pint of milk, stirring while it boils until it becomes a thick paste; add a cupful of sugar, a tablespoonful of butter, a tablespoonful of prepared cocoa and a little vanilla seasoning. Remove the mixture from the fire. Stir in the yolks and whites of two eggs beaten separately. Put into a buttered pudding dish and bake for half an hour. Walnut Taffy. Place over the fire in a kettle three pounds of sugar and one pint of water. When the sugar is dissolved then the sirup comes to a boil add one half teaspoonful cream tartar and cook to the crack degree. Spread in a buttered pan a pound and a half of shelled nuts, hickory or walnuts. Pour the boiling candy over them and when cool break into places. Pumice Stone for Pans. When washing kitchen utensils, sugn as skillets, frying pans, etc., scour with a flat piece of pumice stone, which can be procured at any drug store for a few cents, and lasts for some time. You will find it a good help in keeping such articles bright and clean. 1519 CURTIS STREET Ice Cream, Ices, Candies MUSIC VOCAL-PIANO-ORGAN Voice Culture a Specialty (Voice -- Song -- Speech) Madam Seiler and Emil Behnke's Methods TERMS MODERATE Apply Hewetson-Watson 2631 Humboldt St. Phone York 2341 Denver Phones, Office Main 5595.

Happy at 103. William Head, who yesterday celebrated at Windsor Workhouse his hundred and third birthday, when asked if he would like to go for his usual walk into the village of Old Windsor replied: "No, thank you. As this is my birthday I prefer to spend it at home." He looks upon the workhouse as his home, and spent happy day there. He rose at 7 o'clock and had his usual pipe before breakfast. Then the master brought him two presents of tobacco which had arrived for him. For dinner the old man had boiled beef, vegetables and bread. He spent the afternoon with his friends at the workhouse, and having had a good tea, went to bed at 7 o'clock—London Daily Mail. Quebec's Dual Language Law. Quebec's Dual Language Law: A duel language law, respecting contracts with public utility companies, has been enacted in the province of Quebec, Canada. It provides that all passenger tickets, baggage checks, way bills, bills of lading, printed telegraph forms and contract forms, made, furnished or delivered by a railway, navigation, telegraph, teleprone, transportation, express or electric power company, as well as all notices of regulations posted up in its stations, carriages, boats, offices, factories or workshops, shall be printed in both French and English—Popular Mechanics. An ingenious Scheme. The musical code would be a distinct novelty in wireless telegraphy, yet no one can deny it is merely a subtle development of the art of the ordinary bugler. The "tunes" could be heard also, no matter how much confusion was attempted by the operator of ordinary wireless systems. The manner in which these musical notes are caused is very ingenious. The continuous train of waves still travels outward from the sending aerial to the receiver, but by means of a controlling effect produced when a key is depressed on the keyboard the waves are alternately brought to great strength and diminished until quite feeble. Mrs. Barlow Brings Tommy to Tears. "The camel," answered Mr. Barlow, "is chiefly found in those burning climates which you have heard described. His height is very great, rising to 14 or 15 feet, reckoning to the top of his head; his legs are long and slender, his body not large, and his neck of amazing length. This animal is found in no part of the world that we are acquainted with, wild or free; but the whole race is enslaved by man and brought up to drudgery from the first moment of their existence." Here the interest and concern which had been long visible in Tommy's face could no longer be repressed, and tears began to trickle down his face. —From "Sanford and Merton." The Seer's Tomb. In the course of some excavations which have been made among the ruins of a convent church at Salon, in Provence, France, the workmen have come upon an ancient tomb which is believed to be that of Nostradamus, a famous French physician and astrologer. Michel de Notre Dame, to give him his proper name, was born at St. Remi, Provence, in 1503, and after qualifying as a doctor of medicine established himself at Salon, near Alx, in Provence. During the terrible outbreaks of plague in that region he acquired considerable renown for his devotion and skill in treating those stricken with the disease. Afterward he achieved a reputation as a seer, and in 1555 published a book of rhymed prophecies under the title of "The Centuries," and the apparent fulfillment of some of them greatly in creased his influence. SUMMONS IN DIVORCE. The People of the State of Colorado, to the Defendant above named, Greeting: You are hereby required to appear in an action brought against you by the above-named plaintiff in the County Court of the City and County of Colorado, to answer the complaint therein within thirty days after the service hereof if you are served within this State, or within fifty days after the service hereof if you personally outside the State of Colorado, or, if served by publication, within sixty days from the date of the last day of the service hereof, the same as though you were present. This is an action brought to obtain a decree of divorce on the grounds of nonpayment of the last year last past and that defendant, without obtaining a divorce from plaintiff, has mahered at the Court that the defendant, and further relief as may seem to the Court just and equitable from the complaint, a copy of which is hereunto attached, and the evidence adduced upon the trial. Witness, Thomas L. Bonflis, Clerk of the County Court, in and for the said City and County of Denver, at his office in Denver, this 27th day of January, A. D. 1911, and the seal of said Court hereunto be affixed. THOMAS L. BONFILS, (Seal) Clerk of the County Court, By K. P. MACE, Deputy. 5 THE foundation of the gown at the left is green satin, covered with white mousseline de soie, which is finished at the bottom with a deep hem of the satin. The long loose empire tunic is of black tulle, beaded with jet and bordered with bands of black satin; the corset is of jet embroidery. The corsage is of fine white lace, trimmed with bands or embroidery, set in with fagoting. The sleeves are Color Schemes for Bedrooms That Will Be Change From Designs So Long in Use. The modern girl is rather tired of the pale rose and blue bedrooms of the past, and welcomes any new color scheme that is attractive. Here are a few suggestions that have become commonplace: Walls of soft cream color with a stencil design in mauve shades. Hanging of ashes of roses linen, and furniture of wicker work stained a soft brownish purple. Band of cream colored linen with the stenciled designs may be appliqued on the hangings of the room, such as the curtains and cushion covers, and the rugs on the floor should be soft Oriental colors. Another attractive room could be arranged in the pale shades of the clematis. The walls are colored in the tints of this bloom in its lilac nues, and the woodwork should be in the same shade of clematis, with a gray tone in its depths. Soft illac curtains, bedspread and covers should be in the same shade stenciled in pearl gray, while the furniture might be of either gray enamel or brown wood. Or cretonnes in the clematis or wistaria designs could be used. An all-gray room is charming, but a little cold unless it has here and there cushions touched with color. The walls of such a room are tinted or papered in a warm gray, with a cream ceiling which should be brought down to the picture molding. Gray enameled furniture is used, and the cushions, covers and curtains are gray, stenciled in soft shades of lilac and green, with soft brown. The rugs that cover a gray stained floor are of gray-green hues, and the pictures on the walls should be framed in gray-stained wood and white enamel. Proper Way to Fasten a Klimono. The kimono is one of the things that has "come back." The Duchess of Sutherland is teaching her English and American friends how to wear the Japanese garment. The robe, she says, should be fastened from left to right. Only when used as a shroud for the dead is it fastened from right to left. The kimono is a favorite gift for Orientals to bestow on each other, and the wealthy women in Tokyo announce the new year with a cluster of flowers and a box of exquisite workmanship in which nests a kimono. They give the same present year after year, much as the western women give handkerchiefs, gloves or hoslery. Silk Jackets. For those girls and women who go in "seriously" for sports in the winter time some of the houses are showing very practical skating and tobogganing toggery. This includes always heavy knickerbockers of waterproofed tweed, of whipcord or of covert cloth to be worn under the short skirt. The knitted caps that may be converted into regular hoods coming down over the neck are in favor. For those who do not wish to increase the apparent size of their figures with bulky knitted or crocheted jackets or vests of wool, there are warm but thin jackets knitted from silk thread. finished at the elbows with suffs of the jet embroidery. The foundation of the gown at the right is soft violet satin, finished by a deep flouce of satin of a lighter shade. It is trimmed with flower motifs of appliqué embroidery and velled with violet mousselina de soie. A little ball fringe finishes the skirt, the round neck and the sleeves; the girdle, with rosette, is of the lighter satin like the flouce. Vassar Robe Is Cut Along Old Lines and Yet Is Something of a Novelty. Neatest and newest in long negligees for girls is the Vassar robe of dark blue cashmere or flanellette, which is made with a deep yoke and three-quarter straight sleeves cut in one, the seven-gored skirt being so sharply slanted that it fits without fulness into the yoke. Also made with cut in one piece sleeves is a square-necked, center-seamed back negligee. This model, which is prettiest when developed in some soft worsted or silken fabric and bordered with fancy ribbon, has narrow underarm forms in addition to four full length gores. A diagonal front, closing at the waist line, shows a pointed guimpe of muslin embroidery matching the under-sleeves, supplementing the cloth elbow sleeves, which are slashed half way to the shoulders. An attractive modification of the kimono has three shoulder plaits in front and a bias back attached to a bolero-shaped deep yoke. The bell sleeves, the loose fronts and the girdle are bordered with narrow ribbon. This model is dainty in albatross of pale tint, bordered with white satin ribbon or of white chudda with colored ribbon. On Americanized lines is a pretty kimono which is closely plaited across the shoulders at front and back and is charming when developed in white crepe de chine or pongee lined with tinted cashmere and having facings, cuffs and sash of soft silk matching the shade of the lining. Pongee is a favorite material for Pullman robes of regulation Japanese shape, supplemented by a hood which will completely conceal disheveled locks, and a capacious pocket for toilet articles. In this connection it may be said that a Pullman robe should be of some light shade, as in case of accident the wearer is more likely to be noticed and consequently promptly rescued.
