Doxology and Benediction. BISHOP ABRAM GRANT AS I KNEW HIM. On being asked to write of Bishop Grant as I knew him, I thought that I had been assigned an easy task, for I was fortunate enough to have him as a personal friend and neighbor since the year 1905, but with pen poised I searched for words to paint a picture of him, and I found, alas, that I had known him too well, and the words at my command seemed for inadequate to describe Bishop Grant as I knew him. ```markdown ``` Such benevolence, such unselfishness, such humility, yet withal such nobility, is seldom found moulded in one character as they shone forth from the life of Bishop Grant, illuminated by the radiance of true Christianity. He was a great man, a grand man and yet so congenial, so simple, so free from ostentation, that the least of his following were perfectly at ease in his presence. In stature he rose head and shoulders above other men as he walked in their midst, he used to boast laughingly that he wore the same number of hat as Daniel Webster wore. In thought, in influence, in tact, he rose above them, yet in sympathy, in humility he dwelt with them; ever ready and cheerfully willing to hear their complaints and give them succor. He was welcomed by kings and potentates, yet at his door the lowliest were welcome. He was a gospel preacher. All his sermons had but one theme; "Come to Christ." When he rose in the pulpit he prayed but for one result; not that he might be accounted an eloquent preacher, not that his sermon might excel in construction and delivery, but that he might bring souls to Christ, and he measured the success of his effort by the number of hearts that were touched or turned to God. In a little book he kept the names of all those who, after listening to his simple explanation of the Gospel were constrained to live better lives or were happily converted to Christianity, and Oh, what a host of stars must shine brilliantly forth from his crown of reward as he sings with the heavenly hosts the Gospel songs that he loved so well. And how he did love the Gospel songs. No duty was too urgent for him to forsake it, if you but sat at the piano and began playing the heart reaching Gospel hymns. He would get books and bringing all who were in the house, would form a choir and would sit and sing with tears in his eyes, and when you were tiring of your efforts, he had but just begun to enjoy fully the sweetness of the music. In fact, he could not find no one whose zeal for them equalled his own enough for them to furnish the music, so he bought a music box of the same style as that owned by Troop "," and then he could hear the Gospel songs to his heart's content. The way to Christ as directed by him was so easy to find. These are his expressions: "How must I come to Christ? You must first be sorry for your sins. How sorry must I be? So sorry that you wish never to be guilty of sin again. When you feel this way and ask God to create in you a clean heart and give you strength to overcome, then you are saved." Oh, that there might be more men among us, and especially of our race, possessed of the good qualities that made this man great, that we might be cheered as we walk among men, by more faces like unto his, which like that of Ernest in Hawthorne's Great Stone Face,shineforth with the Christ-like beauty of kindness, benevolence and love. How bright then would be the pathway through life, how easy then to be optimistic, how less weary would grow the feet of the poor pilgrim as he journeys. Goldsmith in describing the village preacher in the Deserted Village, paints my ideal of a true minister of the Gospel, and as Bishop Grant approaches so nearly my ideal, I will cite it as a character sketch of him: A man he was to all the country dear. And passing rich with forty pounds a year. Remote from towns he ran his Godly race. Nor ore had changed, nor wished to charge his place: change his place Unskillful he to fawn or seek for power DENVER, COLORADO. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25 1911. By doctrines fashioned to the varying hour; For other aims his heart had learned to prize, More bent to raise the wretched than to rise. His house was known to all the vagrant train. He child their wanderings, but relieved their pain; The long remembered beggar was his guest, Whose beard descending swept his aged breast. The ruined spendthrift now no longer proud, Claimed kindred there and had his claims allowed; The broken soldier, kindly bade to stay, Sat by his fire, and talked the night away; Wept o'er his wounds, or tales of sorrow done, Shouldered his crutch, and showed how fields were won. Pleased with his guests, the good man learned to glow, And quite forgot their vices in their woe; Careless their merits or their faults to scan, His pity gave, ere charity began. Denver's city market in the early morn Thus to relieve the wretched, was his pride, And e'en his fallings leaned to Virtue's side; But in his duty prompt at every call, He watched hnd wept, he prayed and felt for all; And as a bird each fond endearment tries, To tempt its new fledged offspring to the skies, He tried each art, reproved each dull delay, Allured to brighter worlds and led the way. Beside the bed where parting life was laid. And sorrow, guilt and pain by turns, dismayed, The reverend champion stood. At has control, Despair and anguish fled the struggling soul, Comfort came down the trembling wretch to raise, And his last faltering accents whispered praise. At church with meek and unaffected grace, His looks adorned the venerable place; Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway. And fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray. The service past, around the pious man, With steady zeal, each honest rustic ran: E'en children, followed, with endearing wile. And plucked his gown, to share the good man's smile. His ready smile, a parent's warmth expressed. Their welfare pleased him, and their cares distressed; To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given. But all his serious thoughts had rest in heaven. As some tall cliff, that lifts its awful form. Swells from the vale and mid-way leaves the storm. BISHOP ABRAM GRANT. Another beacon star of life has set Behind the dim horizon of the west, Sad Ethiopia's weeping eyes are wet With tears of mourning for her loved and blest. In poverty she gave him to the earth And saw his manly march to noble worth. In birth she gave him but a lowly place, And crooned to him in hullabies of prayer, While sorrow wrapped its shade about his race In darkened days of "hope deferred"—despair. Up from his crade—lo, the oxen cart, He reared a throne within the human heart. He lived a Joseph to the cause of right; A Daniel prayed he in the evil's den; His glowing soul illumined the blackest night And left its glory in the lives of men. Beside the way where trod his faithful feet; Fair lily virtues blossom pure and sweet. Upon a well-won prestige he rose Into the honors of the favored few; The Christian path of righteousness he chose Led to the graces of thet God he knew. Fond Admiration grasped his busy hand— His life was love. His sympathies were spread Unto all breathing beings every- where; He he'd withehld his shelter or his bread From any who would ask of him a share. Against all wrong he strove to have it cease. That in its place might grow the Palm of Peace. The moon of memory lays its beauty beams Upon the breathless silence of his grave; The sun of time has caught the golden gleams That twinkle from the many joys he gave. Behind the veil of evening—he is there. Transfigured in his robe he'll stand —Amen. MACKEY'S ENGINE CAUSES MUCH FAVORABLE TALK A recent article in the Sentinal informed a new of the citizens of Steamboat Springs that a "getrich-quick" scheme had been sprung for the purpose of swelling the exchequer of James Mackey, with the patenting of a rotary steam engine. That this assertion was totally untrue was shown this morning at the Electric Light plant when W. E. and Don Carver put the working model of the Mackey engine to a thorough test with both compressed air and steam. The engine worked like a charm and is the wonder of all machinists and engineers who have seen it. During the time the engine was in operation at the light plant the scooke holders in the company stood around and asked all sorts of questions as to the operation of the engine, the names of the various parts of the machine all of which were satisfactorily answered by Mr. Carver. While the engine which Don Carver brought back from Denver is but a miniature model, it shows the engine in the completeest detail and the manner in which the steam is generated, and the great saving made thereby. To the habitual knocker of any good enterprise that springs up it would be a good idea to take a look at this engine in operation and an opinion could then be formed whether the machine is any good or not. Mr. Mackey is always working on various inventions and spent considerable time on the perfection of the engine. When he showed the model to a number of people in town they immediately became "engine and stock crazy," and the result was that Mr. Mackey went to Denver, accompanied by W. E. Carver and Proctor Doling, and together had a working model made. The plans for the engine met with the approval of the master mechanic of the foundry to which the plans and specifications were submitted and great things were then predicted for the engine. After the working model had gotten well under way. Mr. Mackey sent for Don Carver and he went to Denver to assist in putting the finishing touches on the engine. It has all the earmarks of a discovery of inestimable value to the steam power using world.

The colored students of the Howard Medical School will not consent to hear the lectures on mental disorders provided for them by the authorities at the Government Hospital for the insane, as a solution of the problem of separate lectures, after the whites of the Georgetown and George Washington Universities had "cut" their classes because of the presence of the Negroes.

Navy Will Train Their Guns on the Antiquated Hulk During Target Practice. Battleships of the United States navy will train their guns on the old "hoodoo" battle-ship Texas, at the annual target practice. The firing will be a range of 8,000 to 10,000 yards. A certain percentage of high explosive projectiles will be used against the hull and upper works, and particular effort will be made to determine the battleship Texas, at the annual target practice. The firing will be a range of 8,000 to 10,000 yards. A certain percentage of high explosive projectiles will be used against the hull and upper works, and particular effort will be made to determine the effects of projectiles when striking the armor of the vessels at this range. Ordnance experts also hope to ascertain the effect of underwater hits and the underwater trajectory of a projectile when falling short of the target. It is intended to anchor or actually ground the Texas in shoal water out at sea off the capes of the Chesapeake. The Texas has been chosen for the tests because she is considered no longer of military value. Provision will be made quickly to repair the damage done to her and for reducing the chance of damage to a minimum, but it doubtless will be impossible to determine in advance the havoc of a 12-inch projectile. Prior to the target practice the Texas will be ordered to the Norfolk navy yard for such work as may be determined upon as necessary. She will be made to have as nearly as possible the resisting power of a first-class battleship, so that it can be determined to what extent modern battleships can withstand hostile fire. The Texas has been known as a "hoodoo" ship ever since she was launched. She has sunk schooners and barges in collision; she has been ashore, and she nearly sank at sea through an accident to her "sea cocks." Her guns have been disabled by accidental recoils, and the steam derrick Hercules nearly sank her. The vessel was put in service in 1895 and went out of commission in 1907. She cost $2,500,000. Aldrich's Queer Accidents. United States Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island seems determined to meet his fate under the tires of an automobile or the wheels of a street car. Early last fall Senator Aldrich was run down by a street car, and his hand severely hurt, so that in the tumble under the street car some of the tendons of his right hand were pretty badly strained and a slight operation seems to be necessary to relieve that strain. Senator Aldrich was starting from his home at Warwick Neck to catch a train for New York to have the operation on his hand performed. When about half way to the railroad station his automobile skidded across the road and chugged into a ditch. The machine was wrecked, and the senator pretty badly shaken up, but he continued on his way to New York. Was the Capltol Rigger. Albert W. Ports, who died the other day, was the rigger for the capitol. He bore the distinction of having placed the Goddess of Liberty on the dome of the capitol. When the Goddess of Liberty had her recent annual cleaning Mr. Potts put up the rigging that enabled the workmen to reach the dizzy heights of the statue. He was sixty-five years old, and had spent most of his life in the service of the government as an expert rigger. Clean Bill Aroused. Bankers' Suspicion and Startled the Treasury Officials in Washington. The treasury department had a fearful shock the other day, and called in the secret detective service of the United States to help soothe its nerves and tell it what to do. It was a fresh, new-looking one-dollar silver certificate sent in by a New York bank, the statement being made that the bill had been deposited by a woman whom they were keeping under their eye. The bank had labeled the dollar counterfeit. Secret Service Chief Wilkie took the dollar in hand and examined it very carefully. He brought his powerful magnifying glass into service, and turned the bill over and over, trying to find so you in it some error, but the error was not there. He examined it obverse and reverse and on the edges. The bill did not look just right; but just the same, not a single flaw could be found in it. After he examined it about an hour he called his chief assistant, to whom he turned the dollar bill over with the trenchant remark: "It's been washed, that's all," and so there is no counterfeit dollar bill of that particular vintage. Not Germ Crazy. The people of Washington are not as crazy on the germ theory as some people might suppose. Some time ago the treasury department concluded that it would have individual cups for the employees to drink out of. Waxed paper cups were placed in long glass tubes, and the tubes placed beside every ice-water tank in the building. It was a penny-in-the-slot business, and if you wanted a drink of water you put your penny in and the paper cup dropped out. It may or may not have been sanitary. Of course, it was expected that it would be sanitary, but after these paper cups had been handled three or four times oxer to get them into the glass tubes it must be that there are more or less microbes sticking on these paper cups. Anyhow, the cups are all right there, and none of the treasury clerks have lost any pennies up to the present time. Champ Clark's Mule Team. Nearly everyone knew Champ Clark of Missouri when he walked along the avenue last year and the years before. Everyone knows him now. Most of his time has been spent since his return to Washington in explaining about those mules he was supposed to bring with him to drive to and from the capitol. Someone started a story that Champ would use a span of Missouri, "Imperial Missouri," mules, if he was elected speaker. Of course, he has yet some time in which to make good, but he is not showing any signs. On the mule question he makes the following comments: "Punishment of kickers without them." "Oh—the mules." TREATY WITH JAPAN RESISTED EFFORT TO CROWD QUESTION THROUGH SENATE FAILS. HALE MAKES FIGHT HALE MAKES FIGHT SAYS TREATY REPRESENTS VOL UNTARY SURRENDER OF COM- MERCIAL ADVANTAGE. Washington.—An effort was made to crowd through the Senate Thursday the new treaty with Japan on commerce and navigation, but it met with resistance from an unexpected quarter. Senator Hale said the treaty represented a voluntary surrender of a commercial advantage which this country would enjoy for another year over the nations of Europe with whom Japan is negotiating new commercial relations. Senator Lodge, who reported the treaty from the Senate committee on foreign relations, which agreed to report it after its provisions had been explained by Secretary of State Knox, was unable to satisfy the objectors. Considerable feeling was exhibited by Mr. Lodge in answering the Maine senator's criticisms. It had been expected there might be some opposition from Pacific coast senators because of the elimination from the new treaty of all reference to immigration of laborers as covered by the existing treaty of 1894. The Western senators offered no arguments against ratification beyond demanding time in which to obtain an understanding of its provisions. An executive session of the Senate was convened shortly after five o'clock to consider the new treaty. Several senators were curious to know why there was such haste to have the treaty ratified. Senator Lodge said the administration desired prompt ratification as an additional proof of the cordiality of this government toward Japan. The treaty might have slipped through had it not been for Mr. Hale. Mr. Lodge had made a speech declaring there was no danger of objectionable immigration under the treaty, because that question would be taken care of by laws and police regulations, and for the additional reason that Japan, through diplomatic channels, had assured the government of her intention to exercise the most rigid control of passports. At this point Mr. Hale interposed objection to ratification. No fault was expressed by the Maine senator with the immigration feature, but he charged it involved reciprocity with Japan as objectionable to orthodox protectionists as that contemplated in the reciprocity agreement with Canada. The United States will secure the perpetuation of the passport arrangement of 1907 through diplomatic notes, and feels able, therefore, to dispense with that stipulation in the treaty of 1894 regarding immigration, which expressed a potential right that never was exercised. This stipulation, it was pointed out, will not impair the inherent and sovereign rights of the United States to legislate on the subject of immigration, should it so desire. Offered Position as Secretary. Washington.—The President has tendered to Representative Albert F. A. H. ALBERT F. DAWSON. Congressman from Second District of Iowa. Dawson of Iowa the office of secretary to the President. Washington.—The chaotic conditions existing in the United States Senate add materially to the probability of an extra session of Congress. Denver May Get National Convention. Washington.—There is a strong probability that the next Republican National Convention will be held west of the Missouri river, for the first time in the history of that party. It is very probable that Denver will be selected. La Follette Wants Investigation. Washington.—Senatar La Follette wants an investigation of public charges that government naval secrets are being disclosed to Argentina. Recent tragedies in Denver, resulting directly from the pernicious practice of carrying concealed weapons, have stirred into bright flame the fire of public demand for the enactment of Senator Irbys bill directed against foolish and criminal "gun toters." The Hecker bill provides that school directors shall be elected at general elections for county and state officers. Foreign corporations doing business in Colorado will be required to pay a flat tax of 2 cents a thousand of capital stock, represented by their property located, and business transacted, in this state, if the Crowley bill, which passed second reading in the Senate, is finally enacted into law. The act provides that, in addition to all present fees and taxes to be paid by foreign corporations, they shall, "on or before May 1, 1911, and annually thereafter, pay to the secretary of state 2 cents upon each one thousand dollars, par value, upon the proportion of its capital stock, represented by its property located in and business transacted in Colorado; and every such foreign corporation, by its president and secretary, shall, within sixty days next after the first day of January in each year, make and forward to the secretary of state a statement sworn to, showing that portion of the capital stock of said corporation which is represented by its property located and business transacted in Colorado. Senator Napier has introduced a bill for the establishment of a fish hatchery in Rio Blanco county. The search and seizure bill introduced by Representative Ardourel aims at a stringent regulation of the liquor traffic, being designed especially to prohibit the sale of liquor by drug stores and by liquor dealers in "dry" counties. Under the provisions of the bill, when any person makes a complaint before a peace or judicial officer, a search warrant will issue authorizing the search of any described premises and the seizure of any liquor therein found. The temperance committee of the House has withheld a report on these measures, and Representative Ardourel, who introduced them, strongly intimated that he would force direct action on the bills unless a report was speedily forthcoming. Representative Gaines M. Allen, who introduced the bill for state construction of the Moffat tunnel, submitted to the House a report on the cost of the project by George Bancroft, a Denver civil and mining engineer. Bancroft states in the report that the tunnel could be driven for $4,000,000 and that it is feasible to bring the waters of the Fraser river through it to the eastern slope. These waters, says the report, would prove worth $8,000,000. In addition to its water utility, the tunnel could be used for railroad purposes. the state charging a tonnage toll of 25 cents a ton, which would bring an annual revenue of $823,500 on the basis of 3,294,000 tons a year hauled through the tunnel. These figures, says Bancroft are conservative. By a vote of 26 to 4 the Casady anti-strike-breaking bill was finally passed by the Senate and sent over to the House. Senator Napier's resolution memorializing Congress to defeat the pending Weeks bill, was passed. The Weeks bill, it is contended, under guise of regulating the navigable streams of the nation, is really a grant of congressional authority to the reclamation and forestry services of the government to take full jurisdiction of all non-navigable streams in the public land states. The memorial will be forwarded to the Colorado delegation in Congress for presentation to the House and Senate. A memorial was presented by Representative Porteous asking that the Legislature go on record as demanding that all of the public lands in the state be opened for settlement. The Senate also passed the Joyce bill, which requires school boards to publish financial statements of receipts and disbursements. This publication must be made in all first and second-class school districts at the end of each semi-annual fiscal period by at least one insertion in a daily newspaper. In school districts of other classes, the publication must be made once a year at the close of business on June 30th. Senator Crowley introduced two bills at the request of the secretary of state. One of the bills provides that directors of corporations, before they can serve, shall file with the secretary of state their written consent, signed and acknowledged, to act as directors. This bill is aimed to protect responsible persons from being named as directors in certificates of incorporation, filed without their knowledge or consent, and to furnish a public record of the responsible heads of corporations. The Cary bill, creating the county of Moffatt in the western part of Routt county, making Craig the county seat and placing the new county in the Thirteenth senatorial district and in the Ninth judicial district was passed by the Senate with the House amendments which added a few minor changes to the eastern boundary of the county. A resolution passed the House by a unanimous vote approving the proposed Stateteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for an income tax law.

He has many hard trials and tribulations, but gradually some good things come out of the conflict. For instance, over in Oklahoma the United States District Court has declared void the "grandfather clause" of the election law recently passed by a Democratic legislature, and indictments have been found against numerous persons of prominence for endeavoring to enforce it. Back in Baltimore the famous segregation ordinance, which sought to confine white and colored residents to district and particular sections of the city, and to punish owners, landlords and tenants who endeavored to mix colors, has been declared invalid by a city court, because of its defective title. The antimixers will have to start all over again, with a handicap of aroused sentiment and the presumption of judicial antagonism against them. In the fight in Congress for the selection of a site for the exposition to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal, San Francisco has won over New Orleans, and decent treatment is thereby assured to colored people who shall desire to participate in that celebration. The scheme of Southern senators, aided by misguided Republican "progressives," to couple an endorsement of state disfranchisement of colored voters with the proposition for a constitutional amendment authorizing the election of United States senators by popular vote, is getting all the publicity it deserves, and the country is being made to see to what base depths the narrow-minded Negrophobists will descent to accomplish the things which advanced civilization has already declared to be unjust. The scheme will have a hard road to travel from now on, thanks to Senator Carter and Depew, and in spite of the misplaced judgment of Senator Borah of Idaho and his class. All along the line matters appear to be adjusting themselves quite satisfactorily in this manner, and although there is much to grind and discourage the man of color, the general tendency to right what is wrong and to protect that which is just should materially strengthen his spirit of optimism. THE COLORED Y. M. C. A defiance of Julius Rosenwald, led Y. M. C. A. building on pieces, in making a similar gift to any other city that saw York Independent, the week because of liberty and justice, seek the advantage of this gift, if none of our Northern cities people ride freely in our state public schools as others, a THE splendid munificence of Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago Jew, in giving $25,000 for a colored Y. M. C. A. building on condition that $75,000 be raised from other sources, in making a similar gift to Philadelphia and in offering the same amount to any other city that shall choose to meet the condition, leads the New York Independent, the weekly magazine, which has done so much for the cause of liberty and justice, to declare: "The cities which we would have seek the advantage of this gift are those in the South. It would be well if none of our Northern cities, where no Jim Crow laws exist, where colored people ride freely in our street cars, where Negro children attend the same public schools as others, and nobody hurt thereby, should ask for this gift because none should exclude their brother man from Christian associations." In the flurry of popular enthusiasm and feverish zeal aroused by the unprecedented generosity of Mr. Rosenwald and the motive behind it, which, as expressed by him, is to help a race that is suffering much as his own race has suffered, criticism of the vehicle employed to carry this blessing to the colored people has not been absent. The Y. M. C. A. itself, notwithstanding its great work and magnificent success as a Christian institution serving the needs of society as represented by the white people, does not deserve an unlimited measure of credit for compliance, in two instances, with the terms of the condition imposed by the non-Christian but Christ-like donor, for it has persistently bowed to that social mandate which insists that colored people may participate only in that form of Christian fellowship which recognizes the necessity of separate relations. The name of the Y. M. C. A. is as much a denominational asset, protected by law, civil and ecclesiastical, as is the name of any church denomination, and all institutions adopting its name must expect to be governed by it, and to affiliate with it in such manner as its regulations may prescribe. Yet an institution which separates into distinct branches upon the basis of the color of their membership cannot consistently be said to exemplify a true Christian fellowship. With such a handicap, imposed by custom and various social conditions, it has seemed to a pity that the colored people cannot realize the objects for which Mr. Rosenwald's sublime charity creates the opportunity under an independent name, established and projected under their own institutional authority. If we are to be separated in religious and semi-religious affairs, why not make the separation complete and absolute? Would it not be wiser than to encourage the permanent acceptance of the designation of the "Colored Y. M. C. A"? The independent title would not necessarily sacrifice the assistance we stand so much in need of. The object to be attained would be none the less moving. The chief object of such an institution is the formation of a moral and religious center, with educational, social and amusement features capable of successfully combatting the baser attractions which lure young men. These organizations among white men have taken on many of the features of social clubs, though exerting a far greater moral influence. Their educational and social advantages should be a great help to young colored men who are primarily religious and aspiring. But the weight of a title imposing an obligation to recognize a social principle and a restricted relation which are neither moral nor Christian in their true aspect, must grow greater as the thirst for truth and knowledge and love increases.

But all this time the women, who have a deeper insight into things marital and a keener intuition, smile whimsically into the embers. They know the men are having the time of their lives, and, incidentally, one of their own missions, that of affording entertainment, is being fulfilled. If the men were not really enjoying themselves, why on earth were they there at all, and why that particular topic, if it wasn't of paramount interest? Much Benefit by Sleeping Out of Doors By A. MORGAN Milwaukee, Wis. I have been sleeping outdoors on my back porch some six years and do not come in for zero temperatures or snow or rain. I use a sanitary folding couch and have a waterproof canvas cover which keeps the mattress dry in the day time and serves as an excellent top cover tucked in over all clothing and mattress at night. I use an extra mattress over the thin one which came with the couch. For covers I use four heavy all-wool blankets and one comforter and over all this the waterproof cover acts as a protection from rain, snow and wind.

The consumer in this country not only pays the tariff, but he pays in many other ways where he gets the worst of it. How the Public Loses Much Money By PROF. W. C. LANGDON University of California Take, for instance, the buying of articles where a fraction of a cent comes in. The American housewife in this era of high prices is often forced to buy in small lots. She goes to market and purchases, say, a half-dozen eggs, at 35 cents per dozen, but there being no half-pennies, must tender 18 cents. In the same way she expends 13 cents for half a dozen oranges instead of $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents. many articles selling at a fight be bought. While it may seem a trifle is thus taken from the earnin to a vast sum annually.

Birds That Stay During Winter Months By J. HOWARD MOORE Chicago During the winter months now these stations are kept well stocked with food, consisting of seeds of various kinds, with which suet is mixed. As a result a number of birds are spending the winter here that usually fly south for the cold months. Besides the bluejays, which have been here regularly for several winters, and the robins, which appear off and on every winter, there are several K (snow birds), shrikes, creee ducks and a flock of 45 or 5 the berries of the fruit and winter, there are several Kentucky cardinals, a mooch (snow birds), shrikes, creepers, downy woodpeckers, ducks and a flock of 45 or 50 cedar waxwings.

THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE, HAMPTON, VIRGINIA. (Special to The Colorado Statesman.) Hampton, Va., Feb. 10.—The annual two-day session of the Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference, including a remarkably fine exhibition of Negro farmers' home and field products, directed by Charles K. Graham and Roy R. Clark of the Hampton Agricultural Department, brought together in most helpful relation some 500 white and colored men, who are daily improving home, farm, school, and community life throughout the South. Professor Hurd spoke on "Transition in Agriculture" and "Corn Production." He advocated deep soil preparation and shallow cultivation for corn. Thomas C. Walker, Gloucester, Va., a Hampton graduate and lawyer-farmer who has helped his people buy and improve land, urged the farmers to secure property while they have the opportunity. About two hundred dollars were dis attributed among Negro adults and children for prize exhibits of corn and cereals, vegetables, canned nad preserved fruits, domestic arts and science goods, and public school manual training. Hampton Institute is making possible the extension of Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong's ideas through its annual Farmers' Conference. John B. Peirce, Wellville, Va., a Hampton graduate who has been most helpful to Virginia Negro farmers as a demonstration agent, delivered a forceful, Christian, common-sense plea for improving the country schools and homes. He urged the Hampton students to make unusual sacrifice for their race. "In't it awful? According to the papers, there just seems to be one revolution after another." "Yes; that's the way the world goes round."—Judge. "My largest item of expense is on account of advertising." "Indeed! I was not aware that you were in business." "I'm not. But my wife reads the ads in the newspapers." Hon. William H. Mann, the agricultural governor of Virginia, Dr. Seamau A. Knapp, Washington, D. C., the master spirit of the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration Farm Work; Prof. William D. Hurd, the director of extension work at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass.; Dr. Nelson A. Mayo, the well known veterinarian of Blacksburg, Va.; T. O. Sany, Burkeville, Va., state agent of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, these men spoke words of hope and wisdom Alfred Goodwin, Defendant. The People of the State of Colorado, to the Defendant above named, Greeting; We are hereby required to appear in an action brought against you in the above-named plaintiff in the County Court, or the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, to the complaint therein within thirty days after the service hereof if you are served this State, or within fifty days after the service hereof if you are personally outside the State of Colorado, or, if served by publication, with the last publication, or trial will be held the same as though you were present. Members of the Hampton Agricultural Department delivered helpful and practical addresses on "Potato Raising," "Fertilizers," "Hog Diseases," "Poultry Production," "Flies and Mosquitoes," and "Be Culture." Governor Mann said: "We have in Virginia 25,612,000 acres of land. We are cultivating less than 4,000,000. We have not enough people in Virginia—only 2,061,000. If we had as many people in proportion as Massachusetts, 12,000,000, Virginia would be the empire state of the Union. which is an action brought to obtain a decree, a decree of consent, non-support, and desertion for more than one year last past and that deed was from plaintiff, has married one ida Anderson; and such other and further deeds from plaintiff, have married just and equitable from the complaint; copy of which is hereunto attached; and the evidence adduced upon the trial. "If the farmers of Virginia averaged 61% bushels of corn to the acre, as did the boys who undertook the demonstration work for 1910, Virginia alone would produce annually 150,000, 000 bushels of corn."

At the evening services ten-minute talks upon the character and the great work that Bishop Grant had done for Methodism and the race were made by different persons. Mrs. Thos. Campbell spoke of him as an educator; J. C. Porter, as a Christian and churchman; C. A. Franklin as a public man. The exercises throughout were very interesting and inspiring. In the person of Bishop Grant a grand good, noble and useful man has gone to his rest, but the good he has done will ever be remembered by thousands of people. Peace to his ashes. SCOTT'S CHAPEL NOTES. The Rev. A. M. Ward of Shorter's preached a soul-stirring sermon last Sunday afternoon to an enthusiastic and appreciative audience. We wish to sincerely thank our sister churches for their timely assistance in helping us by their presence and finance. Rev. Cabbell the district superintendent left before the service for Colorado Springs, where he goes to hold the fourth quarterly conference for the People's M. E. church. The Cartoon entertainment at Shorter's for the benefit of Shorter's and Scott's promises to be something rare and out of the ordinary. Do not forget the date, Thursday, March 2nd. The admission is very reasonable and everybody ought to attend. The Rev. Ragatz is a skilled artist along this special line. The program will be interspersed with music by our local talent. Mrs. Emma Anderson has been appointed superintendent of the Junior League. Parents are requested to send their little ones to the church at 3 p. m. The Ladies' Aid Society made one hundred invitation bags last Thursday afternoon, which were distributed Sunday afternoon. You are urgently and cordially invited to attend this novel entertainment, Feb. 28. Refreshments will be served free for the admission which is a penny for every year you have been married and ten pennies for all single persons. The serman topics for Sunday are "Christ's Commission to His Church" in the morning and at night "What of the Night?" March 5th will be the last Sunday before conference. We urge our friends to attend these services and give us one strong lift. Mrs. P. E. Campbell and daughter, Wannita, are on the slick list. Sunday will be Benevolence day. A handsome souvenir will be given to each contributor. We urge our members and friends to come to our rescue at this time. Mesdames Caldwell and Wallace and Miss E. A. Antony will read papers Sunday evening at the League service. Mr. Cornelius Rice will sing a solo. Mrs. Suggs will read a paper also. Since Mrs. Ada Castry, by the force of circumstances, could not be with us for the past four or five weeks we have had to depend upon volunteer service. She is the energetic president. The Ladies' Aid Society is planning for their Spring Fair which promises to be greater than ever. Mr. C. J. Collier, the newly appointed district steward, will soon move into his new residence, which is being finished near Elitch's Gardens. Mr. Collier is one of the substantial members of Scott's. Mr. T.

BUGLE CALL NO.1. Shorter Chapel, A. M. E. Church. To The Members: It has been the custom of the church for years to put forth a special effort for the saving of souls. At this time every member is called upon to rally to the cause. In keeping with this time-honored custom we will begin this year's series of special meetings on Sunday, March 5, and close Sunday, March 19. The services of the Rev. J. S. Payne of Boulder, the sweet singer of the Colorado conference, have been engaged. It is the earnest desire of the pastor that every member belonging to Shorter contribute his part in whatever way he can to bring success to this effort. Yours for the glory of God and the salvation of men. A. MILTON, WARD, Pastor. Y. M. C. B. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook speaks at Y. M. C. B. Sunday at Zion church. This will be another treat. Special plans will be presented for the organizing of a Bible class. Now this is a class much needed among our men and boys, and they should be present Sunday to learn of it.

Stop complaining about hard times. See J. H. Morris, cur general agent, at noon any day. 1020 19th street, Denver, Colo. Criticious Her Sex Mrs. Newell Dwight Hillis, wife of the minister, says in an article in the Outlook, that American women are not a success as home-makers. The American woman has been reared upon a false conception, she thinks. Has been set upon a pedestal and worshiped and has come to believe that she is a superior sort of being. She questions whether the talkative, self-assertive American girl is as well fitted for the work of the world as the English and German girls. Misiudged Brilliant Son. Lord Ampthill once found Bismarck reading Anderson's story on the Ugly Duckling, which relates how a duck hatched a swan's egg, and how the cygnet was jeered at by his putative brethren, the ducklings, until one day a troop of lordly swans, floating down the river, saluted him as one of their race. "Ah," observed Bismarck, "it was a long time before my poor mother could be persuaded that in hatching me she had not produced a goose." Power Going to Waste. It was asserted a few days ago before the Massachusetts gas and electric light commission that within 175 miles of Boston water capable of yielding 300,000 horse power is going to waste. Firemen Recover Pet. The pet cat belonging to the Kings' land firemen has been found and restored to its owners. The animal had been in the habit of going out to fires on the escapes and was lost at Stoke Newington a fortnight ago. Recently it was seen at Highbury, and being recognized by its collar studded with firemen's buttons, was taken to the nearest fire station and thence sent on to Kingsland. They have a similarly intelligent cat at the general post office, Paris. He gets into the mail cart and accompanies the bags to the station and takes frequent long journeys in the mail van. Recently, however, he was sealed up in a mail bag and got as far as Marselles—London Globe. Alaska's Wealth of Coal In coal resources Alaska stands supreme along the entire Pacific coast. There is, indeed, plenty of coal in the state of Washington, and Vancouver island has probably more coal under it than ever had England, but for a high-class anthracite or bituminous coal the present and future generations of the Pacific coast must turn to Alaska, as that is the only place it exists. The high grade, smokeless coal so essential for the Pacific squadron of our navy exists only in Alaska. —Columbian. Unknown Inventors. Many indispensable instruments may be referred to whose inventors are unknown. These devices were thought out ages ago and the memory of their makers has perished, but the world is indebted to their simple contrivances in a greater degree than it is to many wonderful inventions of modern times. So Many Trout They Trip Fishermen. Salmon trout fishing in the Sandy river is the leading sport just now. The fish have been running in great schools in such numbers that fishermen wading in the riffles were thrown off their feet. At the falls, near the mouth of Bull Run river, the fish were so thick that they were pulled out by d ozens. George Moulton and Oscar Carlson on Sunday brought home a wagon load which they snagged by means of a hook on a throw line. At almost every cast fish would be hooked and dragged ashore. Settlers are salting large quantifies for winter use.—Gresham Correspondent Portland Oregonian. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.

The rivers and harbors bill, as amended by the senate, and as it will probably stand when finally passed, directs the national waterways commission to make a careful study of the advisability and feasibility of the proposed canal from Lake Erle, by way of Fort Wayne, or by some other direct and feasible route, to the southern end of Lake Michigan, and of a canal from the Ohio river, at a point near Pittsburg, to Lake Erle. The commission is also directed to look into the feasibility and practicability of a canal to connect the Anacostia river, here at the national capital, with Chesapeake bay, or some tributary of that bay. In the case of the proposed canal from the Ohio river to Lake Erie, the bill provides that the expense of investigating as to its feasibility and practicability shall be borne by the lo- I DON'T JUST SEE WHERE I M GOING TO BE BENEFITED BY THIS SCHEME UNCLE JIM WILSON, of the department of agriculture, hopes to put venison, that luxury of the rich, on the table of every citizen in our country, and at a less cost than that of beef. He aims to accomplish this by convincing farmers that they can raise small herds of deer or elk or antelope on land that is at present absolutely valueless and with practically no attention after the start is once made. In many parts of the country there are tracts of land which can be more profitably used for raising venison than any other purpose. The propagation of game is as legitimate a business as the growing of beef or mutton, and, according to the department, the producer should be permitted under reasonable regulation, to dispose of his product at any time, either for breeding purposes or for food. This some of the state laws now prohibit. WHICH SHALL IT BE! THERE is a story abroad in Washington, whether true or not, that the pampered men of the capital go about accepting invitations and then at the last moment turn a flipflap if they get a card from a hostess where there is apt to be more fun going on. Anyway, it is the men of Washington who hold all the trump cards in the social game, as one may infer from this declaration of a dashing young American baroness who left here not a great while ago: "Sorry to go to Turkey? Sorry to set up housekeeping in Constantinople? Not a bit of it! Why, my dear, things will be changed completely. Over there I will not have the delirium fidgets wondering whether I'll have men enough to go around if I give a dance or a dinner—no, indeed, it will be just the other way about.

It is the asylum of the homeless and the opportunity of the willing. Millions in overcrowded Europe cast longing eyes hitherward and annually hundreds of thousands succeed in reaching our shores. We have room for them. There are work and opportunity here for each of them—if they are of the right sort. Our broad acres and our prosperous cities can care for another hundred millions as easily as they support those who are here. All we ask is that they be earnest in the desire to be good Americans capable of self-support, healthy of mind and body. But, unfortunately, in our generous hospitality we are imposed upon. This great country of ours in fairness to cal interests affected. No such provision is put in with respect to the investigation of the proposed canal connecting Lake Erie with Lake Michigan. By the terms of the new rivers and harbors bill, the waterways commission is to have two years from the 4th of March in which to investigate these projects. In making the investigations the commission is authorized to call upon the engineer corps of the army to furnish data. Nearly every observer with a large range of vision is convinced that sooner or later, a canal connecting Lake Erie with the lower end of Lake Michigan will be built, and that a canal will eventually connect Lake Erie or Lake Michigan with the Ohio river. Persons who have devoted some study to this subject of artificial waterways are disposed to believe that when the country is ready for a canal connecting the Ohio river with one of the great lakes the demand will be for a canal extending from Lake Michigan, through Indiana to the Ohio river. There are many reasons for believing that as soon as the Panama canal is completed, the building of artificial waterways here at home will be undertaken on a large scale. It is generally assumed that the lakes-to-the-gulf waterway will be the first of the projects put through. The flesh of young antelope is said to be much superior to ordinary venison. That of mature animals, particularly the males, has a strong flavor; but this may be greatly improved by domestication. A full grown pronghorn weighs from 100 to 125 pounds, and will dress from 65 to 80 pounds. The deer family stands next to the cattle and sheep family in general utility. The flesh is a valuable food. Venison was more common than beef on the tables of medieval Europe and was the flesh most commonly eaten by early settlers and frontiersmen in North America. Its dietetic value is enhanced by the fact that it is especially adapted to invalids who require a nourishing, yet easily digested food. The American elk, with all its claims of attention, is fast disappearing from the earth, with scarcely an effort for its preservation or domestication, the department declares. By domestication it does not mean simply taming, but a course of intelligent breeding and protection.

Turkey for me! The men here are spoiled foolish. To be sure, you have enough of 'em and to spare; the only trouble is if they are so generally willing to consult their own convenience without regard to the anxiety they cause the women who entertain." This baroness enjoyed the reputation of scaring the wits out of the other dames who were contemplating dinners or dances. "For pity's sake," they used to wall, "does anybody know if the Baroness Blank has any notion of doing anything such-and-such a night? If she has, away will flock the men to her side—it will never do to pick the night she hits upon for any of her doings." Wherefore, putting two and two together, the baroness' departure was not accompanied with more grief than one could weep for—even though she did do things up so beautifully, and besides was a very kind and considerate personage when the debtantes and near-debutantes were concerned. ourselves should not be made the dumping ground of the mentally incompetent, the physically incapable, the morally perverted, and against these objectionables the barriers should be made higher and more nearly impenetrable. We try at Ellis Island to maintain some sort of supervision of immigration and we do turn back many whose presence among us would be a danger and a burden. But we should go further than this. What stronger object lesson of the necessity for careful esplonage on immigration do we need than the report of the New York state superintendent of prisons, Cornelius V. Collins? He tells us that, notwithstanding the growth of the parole system, our prison population is increasing rapidly; that our state prisons are shockingly overcrowded, and that—here's the point—more than 64 per cent. of this prison increase is directly traceable to the trend of foreign criminals to the United States. Our government can do nothing more beneficial to the country than to prevent the incoming of foreigners of criminal record or tendency --- An Eleventh Hour Decision By NELLIE C. GILLMORE Margaret Brooms had finished the serious part of breakfast and sat toying with her tea and toast when the postman's whistle sounded shrilly at the front door. She arose eagerly and hurried out. The letter was from a girl friend in Chicago whom she was going to visit and she broke the seal with a little smile of anticipation. Doris Belknap had written hastily: "The Maples, Aug. 3.—Dearest Margaret: Can you not hurry up a bit and reach here by the seventh, instead of the tenth? All the others are coming earlier, and I don't want you to miss any of the gay times we have planned. You will be glad to know that Robert Wyatt has consented to lend his august presence at the week-end, and I shall send him to the train to meet you—you little minx! "Be sure to bring your tennis suit, golf outfit and motor bonnet. We shall have to live outdoors, you know. Don't fall to come. Devotedly, Doris." Robert Wyatt! Margaret's blood ran swift for a moment as she recalled the little note he had sent her the week before—and which she was still hesitating to answer. For the answering involved practically her future. Five years before, Ted Horton had said goodbye to her on the very step on which she was now standing and his last words had been: "Wait for me, Maggie. Some day I'll come home worthy of you. But until that time I cannot tell you all that is in my heart or ask you to make any promises." But year after year had drifted away, and never a word. No doubt, he had long since forgotten his boyish romance, and was perhaps even now, the husband of some other woman. A youth of 20—a girl of 17. What mattered it? The thought brought her a little pang, but pride came to the rescue and she resolutely turned her thoughts into a new channel. There was not another man of her acquaintance whom she admired more than she did Robert Wyatt. Obeying a sudden impulse she tucked Doris' letter in her belt and hurried upstairs to her desk. After repeated attempts, she succeeded in framing a satisfactory reply to Wyatt's note. She would marry him, she said, early in October as he wished, and go with him to his eastern home. Then she sat down before her trunk and with shaking fingers lifted the lid and took out a packet of yellowed letters. One after another she burned them until she came to the last. That she would keep, together with the crisp, curling lock of brown hair inclosed within it. Some foolish impulse caused her to lift it for a second to her hot cheek and hold it there, while the tears welled to her eyes. An hour later, dressed for the street, she went hurrying along the deserted avenue toward the post office, the letter to Robert Wyatt clasped in her hands. But as luck would have it, she caught her foot in a loose board at the crossing, tripped and almost fell. The letter dropped from her fingers and floated off in a puddle of muddy water left by the recent rain. When Margaret had regained her equilibrium she stood watching its course with a variety of emotions depicted upon her pretty, flushed face. Suddenly she laughed, at jerky little laugh of sheer relief. She made no effort to recover the missive, but waited till it had appeared beneath the murky waters; then she turned and hurried home. The train was an hour late, and assailed by the pangs of hunger, Margaret rose as the last call for lunchon was announced and made her way into the dining car. She sat down at a vacant table and wrote her order hastily. When she looked up, she met the glowing eyes of Robert Wyatt fixed upon her ardently. "Thought I'd run down the road to meet you. Your telegram reached the Maples last night. When I couldn't find you in the Pullman, I came on in here, and—" "And now you must sit down and have lunchon with me. I'm so glad you came. It's such a bore to travel alone." Her words, and the cordial tone in which they were uttered, made Wyatt's heat beat faster. As he sat down he tried to meet her eyes, but she evaded his glance with a conscious flush, and they fell into lively conversation about everything under the sun but the thing which was uppermost in both minds. The car filled rapidly, until the two seats at their own table, alone, remained. Before either was aware of it, a waiter was seating a faded little woman in rusty black in one of them. "Why—why Robert!" she cried beamingly, "where did you come from? I'm so glad you were able to get off after all. I guess you looked for me in the sleeper, but I'm riding in the day coach. It's a saving of two dollars, you know. And these days money doesn't grow on trees. Why there have been times when I've sewed the best part of a couple of days to make that much." Margaret smiled in sympathy. She glanced inquiringly toward Wyatt who was to her astonishment, scowling darkly. It was evident that the newcomer was an old acquaintance, for she had addressed him by his first name, and was chatting intimately, but he made no effort to introduce them. "When you wrote that you'd be too busy to meet me. I thought I'd just put off my trip for awhile. But Sally said in her letter that Ted would be there this morning and she'd get him to come to the station. Of course, I'll be glad to see him anyway, but I'm mighty pleased to think you came down piece of the way after all." "I won't be able to take you to the house. If Teddy's there it will be all right; he'll look after you. Otherwise, I can put you in a taxicab." The man's tone was cold, deprecating and Margaret's bewilderment continued to increase. But she said nothing, devoting herself assiduously to her salad. The little woman called for a plate of soup and continued to address herself to Robert Wyatt, from whom she elicited merely monosyllabic replies. In a little while they were pulling into the city, and Margaret rose and hurried to collect her belongings. As she stepped from the train she looked full into the face of Ted Horton. A little older, somewhat stouter, a great deal handsomer than in the old days. But he was the same Ted for all that. A glad light leapt to his eyes. "Maggie!" he said. Maggie, he said. "Is it really you, Ted? Why, I thought—I thought—" "That t I was several continents away? And so I was until recently. I got in today at 11. Hello, Robert! Haven't forgotten your cousin, have you?" The two men shook hands heartily. There was genuine pleasure in Horton's manner, but Wyatt seemed a trifle constrained. He had not forgotten his cousin's devotion to Margaret Broome and the report of the gossips before Horton went to Australia. But he had dimly hoped it was the result of some misunderstanding between them and had pressed his suit untiringly in the years that ensued. Now, it would seem that they were still on friendly terms, at least, and the discovery occasioned him no little mental disquietude. "I'm looking for Aunt Ella, Robert. Came down to take her up to mother's. She's on this train, isn't she?" Before Wyatt could answer the faded little woman had reached them and had been recognized by Horton. "Why—why—you precious little lady!" he cried, warmly kissing the wrinkled cheeks, both of them, and tucking her arm within one of his own while he filled the other with boxes and bundles and papers from her overburdened hands. "Are you hungry? Have you had anything? If not we can go right in to the depot cafe here and get a little lunch before we start on our drive. Of course you know Miss Margaret Broome? No? This is my Aunt Ella, Maggie. You've heard me speak of her a hundred times; to be more conventional, Mrs. James Wyatt." Margaret smiled and held out her hand, stifling her surprise as best she could. Robert's mother? "I'm so glad to know you," she said cordially, "and—and I'm coming to see you real soon if you'll let me." "Now, I'm sure that's mighty kind of you, Miss Margaret, and I know we'll be good friends. Ted's talked about you so much it seems to me I've always known you." Margaret blushed to the roots of her hair as her eyes met Ted Horton's. He had managed to edge close to her in the interval of waiting and she heard his whispered words distinctly. "You haven't forgotten, Maggie? I came as soon as I could—and you've never been out of my thoughts a single instant. May I see you and talk it over—tonight?" Robert Wyatt was pushing his way back through the hurrying crowds and she answered quickly in an undertone: "This evening—at eight—at Doris Belknap's." She shook hands again with the little old lady and Wyatt, drawing her arm in his with a slight show of impatience, guided her quickly out to a taxicab. Shut in from the outside world, feverish with his pent-up feelings, he returned suddenly to the girl at his side and said unsteadily: "You never replied to my letter, Margaret. I've spent a year in the last few days waiting to learn my fate." "I—I thought it best—not to write, Robert," she said, slowly, "but to tell you in person that—that there is some one else." "Teddy Horton!!" Wyatt's voice was hoarshe; the bitterness of it was unmistakable and in the eyes that searched her averted face anxiously. "I've always liked you immensely, as a friend, but—" "But you love—Horton" The sound of the words, even on the lips of the man who had suddenly grown repulsive to her, filled Margaret with a strange joy. "Yes," she said, dreamily, "I've always—loved him." A constrained silence fell between them. Wyatt shrank into his corner, gazing grimly through the window at the flying buildings. Margaret, staring happily through the opposite one, caught a fleeting glance of candid gray eyes, smiling merrily into the faded little face upturned to them, and she drew a little fluttering breath of sheer delight. Then she leaned back against the cushions and closed her eyes with a soft-uttered sigh of infinite content.

Turn Over a New Leaf By subscribing for THIS PAPER New News of Yesterday by E. J. Edwards Gen. Grant as a Tobacco User Carlyle Named Nag"Yankee" Described As Always Smoking, He Told How, Though Lighting His Cigar Frequently, the Number He Consumed Was Small. After, Judge Charles J. Folger, while secretary of the treasury, had been nominated for governor of New York, in 1882, it was made apparent that, by reason of certain factional quarrels in the Republican party for which he was not responsible, the danger was grave that Grover Cleveland, then mayor of Buffalo, would defeat him at the November election. It was necessary for those who were managing the Republican campaign to call forth the utmost resources of the party, and for that reason they decided to urge General Grant to preside at a great campaign meeting which was to be held at the Metropolitan opera house, in New York city. Gen. George H. Sharpe, who in the Civil war had served upon the staff of General Meade, where he had been brought into close relations with General Grant and who afterwards was speaker of the assembly at Albany, and Capt. Frederick C. Wagner, who gained a great reputation in New York at the time of the draft riots in 1863, were appointed a committee to call upon General Grant, and ask him to preside at the meeting. As a result of that interview, these two Republicans incidentally learned something of which they before had had no knowledge. They obtained from General Grant a full explanation as to his smoking habits. It happened in this way: The committee said to General Grant that the party would esteem it a great honor if he would preside at the ratification meeting at the Metropolitan opera house. Thereupon, the general took a cigar which had been lighted, but had gone out, from his lips, lighted it, and said: "It would give me the greatest pleasure to preside at this meeting, but I have an imperative engagement at Philadelphia with Mr. Drexel I cannot break it. I will, however, gladly write a letter, telling of my earnest hope of the election of Judge Folger as governor." By this time the fire in General Grant's cigar had deadened, and he again lighted it, and began a little chat with his friends. At last one of the committee ventured to say: "General, I see you still are fond of the cigar." Taking the cigar from his lips, General Grant pointed to it. "Look at that cigar," he said. "You see, it's burned away about an inch. Now, I lighted that cigar when I came to this office a little before ten o'clock this morning. It is now a little after twelve. I suppose it has gone out and been relighted ten times. That one cigar will last me until three o'clock. Famous Scotch Author Told Emerson He Bought Steed With Money From American Sales of In college days we were told that although many other English writers professed to regard the United States either with condescension or with contempt, at least so far as literature was concerned, Thomas Carlyle was especially friendly to this country, and numbered among the closest of his intimates several Americans, principally Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is a well known fact that Carlyle was especially attracted to Emerson because the Sage of Concord, was the first American to speak with approval, even with enthusiasm, of the writings of Carlyle. And when Emerson made his first visit to England in 1833, he called upon Carlyle and was most cordially received, the beginning of a personal intimacy which was maintained by correspondence for many years. Shortly after he arrived in London Emerson set out to call upon Carlyle at his home in Cheyne Row, near the Chelsea hospital, London. Just before he reached the house, he saw a horse led up to the door, and the long-legged and gaunt Scotchman descend the steps, mount the horse and ride away. Emerson must have been somewhat astonished, since he had in all probability never dreamed of Carlyle as a man who took any exercise. At all events, Emerson, calling again a few hours later, was fortunate in finding Carlyle at home, and after a little, ventured to speak to Carlyle about his horseback ride. "Did ye take heed o me?" Carlyle exclaimed. "Weel, I sometimes get astride me horse and take a canter, and sometimes I walk the city streets. Did ye hear how I got me horse?" Of course, Emerson was interested, saying that he would be pleased to learn the story. "Ye can't imagine the name he has," said Carlyle, "so I'll tell ye. His name is 'Yankee,' and a Yankee he is, for it was with Yankee money he was bought. It's the sole quadruped in all London that is 'Yankee' by name. "Some of my books were better Refused to Fight McKinley I may light it twenty times before then. "I usually have a cigar in my mouth, but the greater part of the time it is unlighted. When I am alone it goes out. When somebody comes to talk with me I light it. This is a cigar made of Mexican tobacco; some people would call it pretty strong. But if you are all day smoking one cigar, you don't need to bother about the strength. "I have heard a great deal said about my having been an inveterate smoker during the war. But this was due chiefly to the fact that while I usually had a cigar between my lips, a good deal more than half the time it was out. They pictured me as smoking cigars when I was riding horseback. I often had a cigar in my mouth then, but it was rarely lighted. No, I am not a great smoker of cigars. I mean by that that I do not light one with another and keep it up all day. But I must say that I probably light a cigar more frequently than any other man who uses tobacco in this way. Let me offer you a Mexican cigar." General Grant took from a drawer in his desk a box of cigars, and having opened it, passed it to his friends. Each one took a cigar. One of the two kept his cigar as a memorial. The other attempted to smoke his. Indignation of Amos J. Cummings Was Aroused When He Was Asked to Help Defeat His Friend Early in 1890 the Democratic legislature of Ohio, in redistricting the state for the national house of representatives, carved out a very peculiar, irregular and ragged district, so far as boundaries were concerned, which was to be the new district in which William McKinley was to be the Republican candidate for congress. The accusation was commonly made that the district had been so bounded and defined as to bring within it such a large proportion of Democratic voters as would make the defeat of McKinley inevitable. Whether that was the purpose or not of those who redistricted McKinley's home district, it was the result, and for the first time William McKinley was defeated for re-election to congress. That occurred in the fall of 1890. It so happened that at this congressional election the late Amos J. Cummings was a candidate for re-election as a Democrat from one of the New York city districts. There was only nominal Republican opposition to Cummings, since he had gained great popularity with all his constituents, being bought by your Yankee friends, than they were in England or in Scotland. They said to me that some of the people in America had a better understanding of the meaning in my books than my friends in England. "Weel, however that may be, the booksellers sold my books in Yankee land, and they sent me much money in payment therefor. So, at that time my doctor said to me, 'Drive away your dyspepsia by horseback riding.' And I searched the marts, and made infinite inquiry, and at last they showed me a horse that was worth while, they said. "Weel, when I tried him, I found they had told me the truth, so I said: 'Horse, it is with Yankee money I buy ye, and for that reason Yankee' shall be your name.' And so it is that I ride my horse 'Yankee,' and think of my American friends." When Emerson heard this anecdote first hand he for the first time realized that Thomas Carlyle was a man of infinite humor. And when he returned to America he recounted the incident to Thoreau, who, in his journal, states briefly the fact that Emerson told him that Carlyle rode about on a horse which he had named "Yankee."

She is a product of Parisian refinement, and spends a portion of each day visiting houses and tasting dishes intended for dinner. She suggests improvements, and shows the cook new ways of preparing dishes. The duties are pleasant and the compensation ample. A Flirt. "But I love another from the bottom of my heart." "I was in hopes I could find a place in your heart." "Well, there's plenty of room at the top." The Modern Warrior. "There goes a chap who has taken part in 50 battles." "Plainsman?" "No; filmsman." and after a few whiffs thought he understood why General Grant let his cigar go out so frequently that he was able to make one cigar do him during the business hours of the day. For those black Mexican cigars were of unsurpassed strength and richness. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All New Science of Shoeoolgy. The very latest index finger pointing out what sort of person our neighbor is has just been pointed by Dr. Garre of Basle, Switzerland, in his new science, "Scarpology." "Scarpology" is a word derived from the Italian and Greek and signifies the science of shoes, in other words, "Shoeology." As a man of science, Dr. Garre starts scientifically thus: "Scarpology is the art of reading character or weaknesses of men and women* by the way they use their shoes. The eyes are the mirror of the soul, declare the poets, but show me one of your shoes after two months' wear, and I will tell you your character." According to Dr. Garre, the heel of the shoe worn evenly shows a man of energy, a good worker; and in a woman, a good mother. If worn on the outside only, the wearer is a man of initiative; if the outside tread is excessive, it may perhaps denote a tendency to trusting to chance. If this mark of wear be on the inside, it denotes a weak or irresolute man, but a sweet disposition in a woman. as ready to serve a Republican as a Democrat. Cummings had great admiration for Major McKinley, and in his first two terms in congress had established a warm friendship with him. After Cummings' renomination for congress, he met two or three of his Republican friends, and they invited him to take luncheon with them, for he had long been very friendly with them. After the luncheon was ended, the party slowly strolled from the clubhouse, when, all of a sudden, a man stopped Cummings and endeavored to whisper in his ear. "Talk out loud," said Cummings. "Tell me what you have got to say right here." "But it is about politics," said the man, whom all recognized as a Democratic politician, "and these men are Republicans." "That doesn't make any difference," Cummings replied. "They are friends of mine. What is it you want?" "Well, Amos, word has just been received at headquarters that the managers out in McKinley's district want you to go out there and make several speeches for the Democratic candidate for congress." "What! I go out into McKinley's district and stump against him? I tell you that man is one of the few Republican members of congress who has every Democratic member for a friend. He has never played false with the Democrats or with anybody else." Cummings' voice was now at high pitch. "It's the biggest fool business that I have known Democrats to do since I knew anything about politics," he cried, indignantly. "Here they have gone to work in Ohio and banked up a district for the purpose of killing McKinley, politically. They are going to defeat him, but I'll have no part in it. You go back to headquarters and tell them that Cummings says that they are going to defeat McKinley for congress, but in that defeat will come his victory, for he will be surely elected next year governor of Ohio, and will as certainly be elected president of the United States." The amazed politician ventured mildly to suggest: "Suppose they insist, after I tell them what you have said, on your going to Ohio and stumping against McKinley?" "If they do," shouted Cummings, "you can tell them for me that they can all go to h—. I'd rather be defeated for congress than take the stump against William McKinley in that dirty game." After McKinley became president, he was told of Cummings' denunciation of the Ohio politics which was meant to defeat McKinley for congress, and there was no member of the Democratic party in congress more cordially received at the White House than Amos J. Cummings. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Very Much That Way. "So Scribbles has settled in a Kansas town?" "Yes" "Did he find a literary atmosphere out there?" "Oh, yes.

WILL TEMPT INVALID DAINTY IDEAS FOR MENU OF THE SICK ROOM. Oyster Tea Something Decidedly New for Supper or Luncheon—Vermicelli Toast Both Appetizing and Nourishing. Oyster Tea.—To eight oysters, chopped very fine, add a cup of milk, put over the fire in a double boiler and bring slowly to the boiling point. Let it cook slowly for five minutes. Then strain through a fine sieve and flavor with a half saltspoonful of salt. Have a dainty porridge bowl heated in boiling water. Wipe dry, and pour into it the oyster tea. This makes a nourishing supper or luncheon dish, served with thin slices of dry, golden brown toast. Vermicelli Toast—Heat a half pint of milk in a double boiler. Put one tablespoonful of butter and one of flour in a saucepan and rub them together. Let this bubble gently over the fire for two or three minutes. Then add the hot milk, a little at a time, making a smooth cream. In the meantime, have two slices of bread thoroughly dried in the oven and toast them to a golden brown. Soak the toast in boiling milk, lay it on a small china platter or serving plate, and pour the cream dressing over it. Have the yolk of one hard boiled egg ready and quickly press it through a wire sleeve over the cream toast. With a little care you can make a very attractive dish with the broken, crinkled threads of yolk. Care should be taken not to serve too ample a portion of a dish of this sort. One small piece of toast daintily covered with the cream and a little egg yolk would sometimes appeal to the patient where a larger portion might seem distasteful. Chicken Panada.—This can be made from the remains of a roasted fowl. Cut the chicken meat carefully from the bones, making sure to avoid gristle and bone. Chop one cupful of pieces of the chicken very fine. Boil the bones and gristle of the chicken, making a pint of broth. In the meantime soak one-half cupful of bread crumbs in enough milk to cover them. Then press the crumbs through a sieve and mix with the chopped chicken. Pour the pint of chicken broth on this mixture. Flavor with pepper and salt as desired. Boil for one minute and serve very hot. This panada should be of the consistency of a thick gruel. A little of it served hot in a dalty soup plate or bouillon cup is a pleasant change from the regular meat broths. Velvet Creams.—Soak a half box of gelatin in a half cupful of cold water for a half an hour. Add to this a cupful of sherry, and set the dish containing the mixture in boiling water over the fire. Heat this till the gelatin dissolves and add a teaspoonful of lemon juice and a half cupful of sugar. Stir for a few minutes. Strain through a cloth into a pan set in a dish of cracked ice and water to cool. When it starts to jelly add one and a quarter cupfuls of cream and stir till it thickens. Pour into a cut glass lemonade cup or any other attractive dish from which it is to be served. Serve as a dessert for supper or luncheon with cream. Favorite Recipes Favorite Recipes A tiny bit of butter is often an improvement to cake frostings, especially coffee, chocolate, maple or caramel. A slight sprinkling of orange juice gives a delicate "finishing touch" to light wheaten pancakes served with butter and sugar. Lemon juice is often used in this way in European households. A fruit salad in which bananas are used with marshallows, arranged in a circle upon a dessert platter and served with whipped cream, make another nice dessert. Slices of orange may be served with afternoon tea instead of lemon. They should be about the same size as slices of lemon. Eclair shells filled with chicken salad, liberally dressed with mayonnaise, are a favorite dish at Sunday teas in an old New York home. Austrian Pancakes. Materials.—One quart of sherry wine jelly flavored with cinnamon, the yolks of four eggs and one cup of thick cream whipped stiff. Way of Preparing.—Make the wine jelly and when it is cold but not stiff add the yolks of the eggs beaten until thick. Place the mixture in a double boiler, return to the fire and cook and stir all the time until it begins to thicken like a boiled custard. Remove from the fire and beat until cold. Place in a mold and set in a cold place to harden. Serve with the whipped cream.—National Food Magazine. Ginger Cookies.

Dissolve 1 pound of alum in a pall of hot Water and add to the first solution. Put in the cotton and boll in the dye for one hour, Drain and hang to dry. ‘To color yellow and green, for 5 pounds of cotton dissolve 8 ounces of sugar of lead in 4 quarts of warm water and dissolve 5,ounces of bi- chromate of potash in three quarts of warm water. Put the cotton cloth in the lead solution first, wring {t out and put into the bichromate of potash so- lution, Repeat until the right shade 4s reached. ‘To color green dip the sellow cloth after dyeing into a s0- jution of bluing, making it as deep as liked.

Why not make one of these for your blouse or shirtwaist? They fill in the gap at the front of a coat. ‘They are certainly representative of little cost and great effect. RENOVATING THE TULLE VEIL Few Moments’ Care and Trouble Will Restore Adornment to Orig- inal Beauty. Tulle veils that have become limp may be renovated by pressing them with a warm iron, having firat-placed a handkerchief between the {fron and the tulle. Lace veils and scarfs should be soaked in a strong lather of white soap and soft water and allowed to simmer gently In a saucepan over a fire for about twenty minutes. The vells should be lifted out and squeezed tightly, but not rubbed, then rinsed out in cold water. ‘The seconé lot of water should be faintly tinged with blue and have in it a small quan- tity of hot starch. Clear the vells of any particles of the starch by clap- ping well between the hands; then pin on a clean white cloth and allow to dry.. In this manner they will look as fresh and clean as when new, and they may be washed any number of times. Vells should always be ironed with a handkerchiet or piece of fine linen between, as they are much bet- ter and wear longer if they do not come in direct contact with the iron IN BLACK AND WHITE. aes Cr, <n, o Rl cy \ 4 a4 “Ny 7 aa ; MH I f A A Sig |) an =) Hiatt i Sl oY.

Stuffed Onion One of the Best That Can Be Recalled—Varied Methods of Serving the Always Accept- able Potato. | The days are here when the aver- age housewife who must cater for her- self is put upon her mettle as a mar- keter. Gone for the most part are the tender peas, beans and tomatoes that made the summer bill of fare so oasy to plan. Sweet corn is no more, and the shrinkage in possibilities seems general. Onions we have always with us, however, and they are excellent in other ways besides plain boiled or fried, as they commonly figure in the household plan. For instance, they can be stuffed, the sweét Bermuda eee being specially good for the purpose. Here is one popular formula. | Large specimens are selected and | boiled until nearly tender but not quite so. The inside is taken out, leaving just a shell. Mince the part tpken out with three cooked sausages, a hard-botled egg, two tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, seasoning as liked, an ounce of butter, four drops of ta- basco and a little minced parsley. The shells are filled with this mixture, cracker crumbs scattered over the top, a tiny bit of thin bacon is put on each, after which they are baked 30 min- utes, or until agreeably soft. Potatoes, the dependable, will figure henceforward more than they have done during the past months of abundance. They have the culinary virtue of being in- finitely variable. For instance, when boiled and baked and fried, they have become a little wearisome and the homely tubers are no longer young enough to carry a sauce gracefully try them baked with eggs. For a mod- erate sized dish in this style you will need four cold-botled potatoes and six hard-boiled eggs, all cut in slices about a fourth of an inch thick. | Put a layer of the potatoes in the Saas dish, which must be well but- tered, seasoning with salt, or salt and | Depper, cover with a layer of the eggs. Repeat this and pour over the result Ba cups of thin white sauce. Cover with cracker crumbs soaked in butter |and bake until brown on top. This is a substantial autumn dish. | For thoge to whose digestions the stuFdy sausage filling would be ana- thema, this more delicate method may appeal. Cook and scoop out the vegetables ee before, but stuff with a filling made of equal parts of chicken (cooked), soft stale bread crumbs and the re- moved part of the onions. This should be slightly seasoned with salt and pepper if liked, and is to be moisten- ed with a little cream or melted but- ter. Sprinkle with crumbs soaked in butter and bake as described above.

To make a simple, home-made cream cheese from buttermilk, put several gallons of buttermilk into a kettle or boller over the fire and heat slowly till {t curdles, but do not let it get warmer than the hands can bear if placed in it. When ready, remove from the fire and set on the back of the stove till the curd separates from the whey. Then strain through a sieve or cheese cloth. Work the curd fine with the hands, salting it a lit- tle, then add gradually enough heavy cream to blend with it to the proper consistency, mixing it in very thor- oughly. Chocolate Loaf Cake. Beat to a cream one-half cup of but- ter and a cup and a quarter of sugar. Add the yolks of three eggs, well beaten, and then alternately a cup and a half of flour sifted with a teaspoon- ful of baking powder and one-half cup of milk. Beat thoroughly, then fold in the whites of the tlre eggs beaten to a stiff froth, a quarter cake of cho- colate, which should have been melted in the oven or over hot water and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Economical Family Pudding. Bruise with a wooden spoon through a colander six large or 12 middle-sized potatoes, beat four eggs, mix with a pint of good milk, stir in a potato, 6 ounces sugar and flavoring;. butter a dish, make half an hour. The recipe is simple and economical. Cold poto- toes which may have been kept two or three days till a sufficient quantity ia collected will answer quite well. J, R. CONTEE, PRESIDENT.
