Lead Make Sane and Con Bethel A. M. E. Church, in West Twenty-fifth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, was filled with members of the race last Sunday afternoon who were present to pledge their faith in the leadership of Dr. Booker T. Washington and to express publicly their unbounded confidence in his integrity as a leader. The meeting was characterized by the sane and temperate remarks of the speakers. Almost every speaker expressed the opinion that the brutal attack made on Booker Washington had done more to bring the race together than any other incident in many years; that Negroes of the North, East, South and West, irrespective of religious belief, political affiliations on educational matters, etc., had shown their great loyalty for the race by forgetting all difference and presenting a solid phalanx in extending their sympathy to the nation's leading Negro, and one of its most prominent citizens. President Taft came in for a great deal of praise, and the popularity of the Chief Executive has grown to larger proportions since he wrote Dr. Washington the letter last week paying him such a high tribute. Resolutions deploring the assault on the race's leader and promising to stand by him were adopted by a standing vote. The resolutions: Whereas, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the beloved leader, and inspired teacher of the race, an American philanthropist and educator, whose sympathies and services are recognized world-wide, has met with a painful and unfortunate incident in our city. Resolved, First, that the colored citizens of New York are deeply grateful for the public sentiment of the community as expressed by the press and leading citizens in condemnation and regret that so good and useful citizen should have been the victim of an assault upon his person and reputation. Second, We appreciate the thousands of messages of sympathy and confidence which have come to Dr. Washington from all parts of our country, from white and colored people alike, North ```markdown ``` and South. They show how far the race has progressed; that even a black man's character is at once his sword and shield. Third, We thank the President of the United States for his prompt and splendid letter recognizing Dr. Washington's great character and services to his country and expressing his unbounded and abiding faith in his integrity and honor. Fourth, We desire Dr. Washington to know by this meeting and these resolutions that we, the members of his race, for whom he has done so much not alone by his services but by his person and character, to give standing among the races of men, that we deeply deplore this incident in his life, and that our hearts go out to him in his hour of trial and sorrow, that we are standing by him, believe in him and feel that out of his adversity, in God's way, will come even greater usefullness and service for God, for race and country. Sunday's big meeting was opened by Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, who told his hearers that he thought it fit that those who stood for the highest and best in the life of the colored people of New York City should express confidence in the personal worth and honor of Booker T. Washington. The speaker declared that the life of the Tuskegeean was as great an epic to the freedman as was Uncle Tom's Cabin to the slaves. Collector Charles.W. Anderson was next introduced as chairman, who, in eulogizing President Taft, said that since Lincoln laid his pen aside no other document ever written has had such an effect in furnishing the square deal for the colored race; that the President realized that when Dr. Washington was struck, every Negro in the country was struck, and his letter illwin him the support of every colored man in the community. Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abbeysinian Baptist Church aroused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm in his concluding remarks by saying: I was never so good an American as I am today. This is the DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 8 1911. best country under the canopy of heaven for the Negro and for every other man. We were here three months before the Puritians, and if they talk of sending us away I tell them this: Let the Slavs go back to the Danube, the Russians to the Volga, the Italians to the Tiber, the English to the Thames, and the Irish to the Thames; and three months later we will go back to the Congo to found a great state under our intrepid leader, Dr. Washington. Bishop W. Derrick was profuse in enconiums relative to the worth and character of Dr. Washington, and was listened to with marked attention. Bishop Derrick stated that the many expressions of good will on behalf of Dr. Washington should be a striking example to the young men of the race and should convince them that criticising and finding fault does not pay, but that the deeds count in this life. Bishop Derrick referred to the great strides the Negro was making in New York City, recalling years ago where he participated in many fights for the black man's rights. Among the other speakers who were warmly received were Rev. W. H. Brooks, Counsellor James L. Curtis, Dr. York Russell and Chief Edward E. Lee. Others on the program were Rev. R. M. Bolden, Counsellor Wilford H. Smith and Fred R. Moore.—New York Age. ALBUOUEROUE NEWS. Mrs. John Freeman is quite sick. G. H. Bryant has bought a nice four room house on North First St. A. M.

Brownstown, Ind., March 29.—This place still retains its name as a no-Negro town by its action today., when four Negroes who had come here to work for a contractor left for their homes in Kentucky.

Ten years ago Mr.Gains was digging coal in the Buxton mines, while his wife ran a restaurant near the ance of his labors By economy, frugality and industry they were enable to buy a row of houses for business and residences three and a half blocks in length.

Notwithstanding their great personal wealth, they have time to give to the betterment of the settlement; for both Mr. and Mrs. Gaines are active in fraternal, business and social life, besides giving largely to charity. Largest Negro Laundry In the United States. St. Louis claims to have the largest and best equipped Negro laundry in the United States. The general management of this enterprise is in the hands of Mr. R. Herbert Stanton, who first conceived the idea of installing and operating a modern Negro steam laundry. Mr. Stanley, who was formerly driving an independent route, and was forced to turn his work over to white launderers, readily saw the advantage to be gained in the operation of a Negro laundry. He imparted his views to P. H. Carter, who was also driving an independent route, the two deciding to consult and lay their plans before W. C. Gordon, the wealthy undertaker. Mr. Gordon encouraged the idea by offering to enlist with the other gentlemen in the venture. A company was at once formed with W. C. Gordon, president; P. H. Carter treasurer, and R. Herbert Stanton, general manager. A site was secured, remodeled, $7,000 worth of machinery purchased and installed and the Acme laundry took on the shape of a legitimate business enterprise. At present they are giving employment to 22 Negro men' women and girls, with a weekly pay roll of almost $200. The laundry affords three well-kept delivery wagons, which are a credit to any institution, and is daily evincing the fact that the Negro can successfully compete with his Caucasian brother in the commercial field.

THE press dispatches which gave partial accounts of the shocking assault made upon Booker T. Washington in New York City two weeks ago, could not be supposed to give exact and satisfactory information about a circumstance so complicated and mystifying. Later developments have gone to convince Mr. Washington that his assailant mistook him for somebody else. The unprovoked assault took place in the vestible of an apartment house, as Dr. Washington was examining the list of tenants, in search of a family where he expected to find one of the trustees of Tuskegee. The character of his assailant and his alleged wife proved to be such that they would probably ask no questions before attacking one whom they assumed to be an intruder. The ready sympathy and wide expression of deep interest in Dr. Washington's welfare brought out by the incident has been gratifying not only to him but to the thousands who understand the influence he wields over society in general for the good of his people. President Taft was among those first to write him, and men like Andrew Carnegie, ex-Vice President Fairbanks and many others of character and prominence quickly combined to show the unparalleled esteem in which he is held and the unique and distinguished place he holds in the affairs of American life. Despite the vicious but unreasonable charges resorted to by his assailant, the incident will serve to give Mr. Washington deeper claim upon the confidence and respect of all those who have come to look upon him as a leader, and upon his career with unmeasured wonder and admiration. WITH A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT. IF the next President of the United States should be a Democrat, would it spell calamity for the colored American? The manner in which this contingency is discussed, or perhaps we should say avoided, by the press gang and other thought moulders, demonstrates the incoherent fear of the masses rather than the discernment of logical and conservative minds. The best way to meet and oppose a danger is to face it and take a thorough survey of its character and proportions. There have been Democratic administrations in the past, and in the natural course of things there will be other Democrats in the White House in the course of time. The difficulties that have grown up in the path of the Republican party in recent years are not beyond its power to overcome, but in the event of the failure of its leadership to steer a wise course in the campaigns that shall make the Congress and the next executive, it is not at all unwise to make a fair forecast of results. This because the number of colored voters in the country who are hopefully following the fortunes of Democracy has greatly increased in recent years, and their faith or hope or charity, whichever it may be, deserves a fair hearing. There is a large and permanent colored Democratic organization in New York, and Bishop Walters heads a national organization of undoubted mental capacity and numerical strength which is devoted to the development of independent and Democratic sentiment among colored voters. These men have asked the national Democracy, through its leaders in Congress, to declare itself as not antagonistic to the vital interests of the colored citizen, and they argue that their effort to affiliate with Democracy, thus adding to her chance for a return to power, is based upon the principles of advanced logic which seek to place the colored voter on a higher political plane. Would a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress be able to see this new light? So far as the South and Southern sentiment is concerned, it is useless to argue. Opposition in that section of the country to the colored man's political advancement is not confined to the Democratic party. Perhaps its effects are felt now under Republican administrations almost as perceptibly as they would be felt if Democracy were in national control. But the Democratic representatives and senators of the North and West, who constitute a majority of the party's legislative and political directorate, are relied upon to check the rabid and hostile tendencies of the Southern agitators. A Democratic President would be largely of their choosing, and quite necessarily, would be a man of liberal and reasonably progressive ideas. In our opinion, legislation actually and avowedly hostile to the colored citizen would be quite as difficult under such an administration as at present. Doubtless we would suffer very little from any restriction or abrogation of our present liberties. But that is the limit of our concessions. We could not look for the institution of any administrative policy that would advance our material interests in any original manner, nor even maintain our numerical representation in official channels. The fear of these limitations do not attach to any Republican administration, even though that administration lack diligent interest or enthusiasm in our behalf. We shall be glad to see the race question removed from politics, but those Republican traditions which created and crystalized the nation's abiding ideals of liberty and equality of opportunity will long be most generally and most generously expressed by men who father their inspiration from inherited traits, deep rooted in Republican soil. By THURDE RAYLE BRUCE N DEALING with the red-headed type of woman I must walk gingerly. In regard to her I should like to make free with a little known but exquisite French proverb. Skipping that, however, I will say the red-headed type carries the danger signal. Like the ubiquitous and expensive red taxicab, she is not infrequently—and I feel that that is putting it well—of a queenly disposition. Mostly she has green eyes, of a contradictory, cold nature. She does this red hair of hers in an aureole. There is about her an aroma of the old, glad, mad days of the portcullis and battlemented wall, if I may say so without appearing personal. She carries herself for the most part—you will notice that I am bein' very correct—very erect, very Pompadourly. Good red hair and great green eyes are worth making a fuss about. If the red-headed type, who generally has long, but unnoticeable eyelashes, is clever enough to put a slight line of artistic black beneath them, you may as well consider yourself to be the usual number of skittles, for down you will go. Now, let us come nearer to the red-headed type. Let us approach her and analyze. Let us be chemists and forget we are men. The red-headed type is not very general. She forms the exception to the rule. Her average is about one per cent. She may be found, however, at dances, where she invariably is clothed in art tints. She has a penchant for liberty, and she makes a corner in aloofness. She is, if I may say so, like a forty-candle power electric type under a thick green shade. Warily, warily, my friend, for the red-headed type has a red-hot temper. Should her dignity be upset by the fraction of an inch she will say those things which are better left unsaid. She does not quietly take umbrage: she gets into the very dickens of a temper. But I must say that she doesn't do this often. She is mostly a queen. She moves, or rather glides, in her small circle, throwing favors to a kneeling crowd of worshipers, bearded and scraped. She takes all that she can get, and gives nothing. She is one unbroken round of good taste, if you follow me. She talks in periods about Love, always with a big L, mind you, she is not insincere. At, no. She hasn't got it in her to be insincere. She hasn't sufficient depth for that great gift. She is just a silly, red-headed, green-eyed, queenly, handsome thing on whom you can spend a patrimony and receive no change. Every man she meets comes, according to her, under her sway, within her aura, if I may say so without knowing what it means. She is, as you will see, if you are not hopelessly gone, if you are not befreckled out of common sense, a laughter-making darling. But of all the types extant she is the one to whom you can really make love. A. B. You can say anything you like, anything you've read, anything that seems in the cold light of day utterly ridiculous, and yet you cannot be foolish. You can, and must, hurl at her head—from your kneelin' position—headlines, quotations, but you cannot do more than kiss the Hem of Her robe. To her a kiss is a Sacred Thing, only to be received and given when she has Found Love. And when she has found it, what then? Why, she leaves her pose behind her in the ancestral halls, and immediately develops into a good wife and a sound mother. Uses for More Daylight Hours By WALTER B. LEUTZ What will people do with two more daylight hours of leisure? asks a writer. Well, it would enable them to visit bathing beaches, for which they clamor, oftener than once a week in daylight; to enjoy a cool evening's ride by daylight to some of the outlying parks or suburbs on one of the various street-car lines. It would also be possible to secure and cultivate a small garden, where they could devote more daylight to growing and enjoying better and cheaper fruits and vegetables. Also it would enable them to save about two-thirds of the present expense of artificial light, as well as the resultant strain on the eyes caused by excessive use of such light. They could enjoy any number of outdoor amusements and sports daily, instead of on Saturday half holidays and Sundays, as at present. All of this would work for better health and would reduce doctors' and druggists' bills. Would eight or ten hours' work under "more daylight" conditions be so much more exhausting than under present conditions? It would leave 14 to 16 hours of rest, as now. Probably on further consideration he would place the soft pedal on his "no" and join the ranks of the enthusiasts, regardless of whether we are copying our English cousins, who, no doubt, get more health and pleasure out of life than the vast majority of us more up-to-date Americans. It has been asserted that in the west the cowboys are looked upon as common workmen and that the western girls do not notice them. That's what they say when they are in the big cities, but if the people could see them among the cowboys they could see for themselves whether the western girls regard them as common workmen. I was a cowboy for 12 years and have had experience in the western states and I also have been with the 101 ranch as one of the expert bucking horse riders and I know the western girls from A to Z. The western girls have to work just as hard as the cowboys. They do not have it as easy as the eastern girls. And as to an American girl marrying an Indian, I think she is sensible. I would rather see her marry him than to see her marry a duke or lord with a title. There are a lot of girls who spend their vacation in the west and on their return to the cities they respect a cowboy as a gentleman and that gets the western girl jealous, because the cowboys pay more attention to them.

Mr. and Mrs. Louis Parks were the hosts at a handsomely appointed dinner last Sunday afternoon. The guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Orlando Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Taylor and Mr. Robert Black. On Monday evening, April 3rd, a crowd of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Polk, gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Pash, and went in a body to the Polk home to remind Mr. Polk of his natal day. A very delightful evening was spent by all. Mr. Polk receiving many gifts, for which he thanks the friends and says, "Welcome. Come again." All members of the Young Men's Christian Brotherhood are called in a general mass meeting next Wednesday evening, April 12 at 8 o'clock at Shorter Chapel. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the matters of investing the funds, dealing with the permanent organization and all other matters of vital interest to the Y. M. C. B. If you are a member of the Y. M. C. B. do not fail to be present. You may have some helpful suggestions. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook paid a visit to Dear Field colony last Sunday and states that sixteen settlers are making rapid progress. Two houses are completed and others being erected.

The county commissioners have ordered two bridges built over the ditches and county roads opened. Joseph Young and Henry Vick moved on their claims this week. Mr. C. J. Collier has moved to his new home near Elitch's Gardens. He will have plenty of space here to cultivate a little garden spot and raise chickens. Mr. Collier has become one of the fixtures of Denver.

A LAUNDRY COMPANY. J. J. Houston, H. J. M. Brown, T. S. Clinkscab and O. T. Jackson met in the office of Cohen and Houston, Saturday, April 1, 1911, for the purpose of organizing a Laundry Company, to establish a first class modern laundry business. The company will be capitalized for $50,000, divided into 50,000 shares at par value of $1.00 each. Agents will be put to work to solicit stockholders and laundry work. All who are interested in an enterprise of this kind will furnish employment to twenty or more people, can call on either of the above named promoters for further information. It is a fact that there are two thousand laundry bundles delivered each week to the Denver laundries by our people which will average fifty cents each, or a total of laundry work from colored people alone of $1,000 per week. We believe that a colored laundry company can control at least one fourth of this business, and we can secure any amount of commercial work from hotels and rooming houses. Another meeting of the promoters will be held Saturday, April 8th, at 8:30 o'clock p. m., at the office of Cohen and Houston to perfect the organization. Four good lady solicitors are wanted to canvass for the company. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH. The sermon subjects for Sunday will be "Bearing Christ's Cross," and in the evening, "Abundant Pardon."

The Sunday school will have its program on Easter just after the morning service. The choir will render its program at night. There will be no preaching at night during Easter. Brother Evans, Mrs. Emma Anderson and Mrs. M. E. Forney, S. S. Supt. Fred Brown, Mrs. Ada Castry are the Foreign Mission Board Committee.

Delegates to the Presbytery on the 18th inst., are Madames Froman and Finney at the First Avenue Presbyterian Church, this city. The final preparation for the bazaar 17th, 18th and 19th inst., and sending of delegates to Chicago calls for the presence of all members next week.

Sermon topic Sunday, April 9th: 11 a. m.—"Christ and His Church," at Shorter's Chapel. 7:30 p. m.—"Contrast Between Men and Angels." 6:45 p. m.—Election of Officers, Y. P. C. E. The pastor and the Rev. A. M. Ward of Shorter's will exchange pulpits for the morning service. All the members are urged to be present to hear the message from our friend and brother. The pastor will occupy the pulpit for night diet. The pastor and elder J. D. Wiley will represent the People's Church at the spring meeting of the Presbytery at the First Avenue church on the 18th of the month. The report exceeds last year's by a wide margin. SHORTER CHAPEL The Lady Guardsmen, who were to have given their military drill at the Curtis Street Armory during February, have secured the use of the Mammoth Gymnasium of the Denver university at University Park for this drill on Thursday evening, April 20. This gymnasium erected at a cost of $75,000 has just been opened this year, and the ladies are to be congratulated upon securing such a splendid place for an exhibition. Since the disturbance on the Mexican border line, the ladies have put quite a deal of ginger into their tactics in order to be in readiness to go to the front if necessary. They are our sole protectors in this region since the troops have left, so do not fail to attend their drill to see if you could rely upon them in case of real war. Tickets sold for the Curtis Armory date will be honored at the Gymnasium. Messrs. Wood and Patrick, two basketball stars of the University of Nebraska will play with the Y. M. C. B. boys in their exhibition game at the ladies' drill on the 20th. A most splendid audience greeted the pastor on last Sunday. The presence of many visitors was noticed. This is an evidence of spring. The members and friends took upon quite earnestly the work toward the spring rally to begin on Easter Sunday. From the spirit shown this rally will produce the entire $1,500 asked for. The Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazel, pastor of the People's Presbyterian church, will fill the pulpit of Shorter at the eleven o'clock service. The pastor exchanges pulpits with the Rev. Hazell, for the morning service, but at night will return and preach the Palm Sunday sermon upon Christs Trimumphal Entry into Jerusalem at 8 o'clock. The Sunday school is planning to give one of the best programs of years on Easter Sunday morning. A special musical cantata is being arranged. The choir is working over time to present its unusual splendid program on Easter Sunday night. The presence of Mr. F. D. Roberts of Kansas City adds much to the tenors. JUST ONE Yes, just one unscrupulous person will hold down a thousand good ones. It is just the same with merchandise, a worthless article put on the market will not only kill itself in course of time, but will also prove a hindrance to many good articles. To over balance this injustice, it is the duty of every honest person to make known, as far as possible, the injustice done an honest person or a meritorious article. Believing in the foregoing, it affords the editor pleasure in speaking a word in behalf of Ford's Hair Pomade, an article that has been on the market for many years and while there has been many worthless imitations put out, this article has lived and is bound to live and prosper long after the worthless trash is consigned to the waste basket. Help a worthy cause along and when using a Hair Pomade, use Ford's Hair Pomade. "JUST ONE HOUR." You cannot spend the hour from 4 to 5 p. m. tomorrow more profitably anywhere than at the Y. M. C. B. at Shorter. Last Sunday's program by the Taka Art Club was one of the usual good ones. The papers read by Mrs. Ross on "Self Confidence;" by Mrs. Ford on "Citizens in the Making;" and by Mrs. Goens on "Seed Sowing" were right to the point. The audience was enthusiastic in their reception. The musical numbers by the Misses Mason, Ford, and Ward were very good. Prof. White will be the speaker at the meeting tomorrow. Do not be late for you will miss the good points which the wide experience of Prof. White will call forth. Remember it is "Just One Hour." A SWELL COLORED DRILL TEAM We are still issuing sick and accident insurance. Also unexcelled oldline, straight life policies. If the agents miss you, let us know about it.

C. held a memorial service in their hall on Main and Second streets, Tuesday evening, March 21, 1911, in memory of Bedford Dixon, who was a soldier in the Civil War. This was a very sympathetic service to all present. Rev. G. T. Anderson delivered the memorial address. Peace be to the ashes of the old veteran. Nick Brown is very nil at his home on Fagan street. The little daughter of Mrs. Ed Maguire is very sick at her mother's home on Fagan street. Mrs. Caroline Dommust is sick at her home on Fagan street.

Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. George Taylor of Basket, Ky., and Rev. Green of Corydon. This convention is doing a splendid work among the young people and if some of our so-called D. D. S. go and do what they say, that the Lord has given them to do, there would be more work done in the churches. OLD FAITHFUL. DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY.

Her face was flushed, there were dark circles beneath her eyes, and the lids were red and swollen. He must not see that she had been crying. And hastily setting her hat straight she turned, her face toward the window. At her seat he hesitated, as if he would ask permission to occupy the vacant place beside her, but after one look at her motionless figure he sat down without speaking. Margaret fought down a desire to scream aloud. It was hard enough to have been married against her will, but to have her husband force his society upon her, when it was impossible to escape him without a scene, was unbearable. She had refused only two days ago. Today he was her husband! She closed her eyes and saw it all again. Kittle Guthrey's parlor, the dozen young people assembled there, dressed in the quaint, old-fashioned clothes Kittle had dragged from an attic trunk; while from the doorway, the round, jolly face of the justice, Kittle's father, beamed upon them. They had been playing charades and Margaret, wearing Kittle's grandmother's white satin wedding gown, veil and wreath of faded orange blossoms, had been the central figure in a tableau. Then, as one in a dream, she had found herself taking part in a marriage service. Mechanically she had repeated her responses, vaguely conscious of the girl's giggling and the boys' broad grin, but with a dim sense of awe, as the justice repeated the solemn words of the ceremony. Perhaps it had been only a dream. Perhaps there was no license, nor justice, nor ceremony; and she was still free. Opening her eyes suddenly her glance fell upon the hand which lay upon the window sill. There was the ring which Fred had placed on her finger, a plain gold band, which he had detached from his watch guard. Once he had told her that it was his mother's wedding ring. She clenched her hands and stared at the flying landscape. Her anger against the man beside her rose in turbulent waves, submerging all other feelings. Why had he taken such a mean advantage? She would not have believed he could do it. How triumphant he must feel. She stole a glance at his face, and was obliged to admit that he did not look at all triumphant. On the contrary, he seemed depressed and gloomy. His unseeing gaze rested upon the shiny bald head of the man in front of him. He seemed oblivious of his surroundings. Margaret stifled a feeling of pity, and steered her heart against his troubled face. "Why did you do it?" she asked, aloud, without turning her head. "Do you suppose that because you have trapped me into marriage, you can compel me to live with you? Perhaps you thought of kidnapping me, and confining me in a tower!" Her low, well-modulated tones, vibrating with scorn, broke the intolerable silence as a sharp knife cuts a taut cord. "Is it possible that you believe I am responsible for what happened last night?" Carleton's voice expressed paled surprise. "I knew you did not love me, but I thought I still retained your respect. If you had waited a moment longer, you would have known that I had no part in the plot which turned our frivolous play into sober reality. At first I was too bewildered to understand that the license was genuine and the marriage legal. And when I would have rushed after you, the boys held me while Morris explained. It was all a wretched, practical joke, which he and Williams bad planned. Supposing that we were engaged, they thought we would relish the idea of an impromptu marriage, as much as they did." The conductor was making his rounds. Carleton handed him his own and Margaret's tickets, and frowned absently at him until he had passed. The energetic traimboy came and went, followed by the pompous negro porter. The sonorous snoring of the bald-headed man rose above the rumble of the train and the subdued murmur of voices. Margaret's face was still averted, but a restless movement betrayed her impatience with the rest of Carleton's story. They had no trouble in getting the license," he continued. "Grant, the county clerk, has known most of the boys in our crowd since we were little shavers. When they said I was out of town and had sent them for the license, he believed them. "Of course, they told Kittie, so that she could manage you. But neither Squire Guthrey nor the others knew that it was to be more than a mock marriage. The squire says the ceremony is binding, but we can easily set it aside." Margaret moved uneasily, but gave no other sign that she had heard. Carleton's gaze wandered across the isle to the chubby, black-eyed baby who was crying so vigorously that conversation was impossible. The savage frowns of the sour-faced drummer behind him frightened the child into violent screams. At last. with a stick of candy purchased from the train boy, his mother bribed him into silence. "For your sake I am sorry," Carleton said softly, "but for myself I have no regrets. To that fun-loving crowd the service which Squire Guthrey performed was only a farce improvised to afford amusement for the moment. To me it seemed sacrilegious, yet as I repeated my part it had all the sacredness of reality. At that moment I would have given all I possessed if I could have made the words true. When I knew they were really true, my first feeling was one of gladness. And even though the law should separate us tomorrow, I should always be glad that for one brief day you were my wife." The monotonous rumbling which had rendered their conversation private, suddenly ceased. The train had stopped at a rural station. A little old lady, laden with bundles, hurried eagerly down the aisle. As the door closed behind her Margaret idly turned her attention to the station. On the platform stood a tall, white-haired man, whose wrinkled face was aglow with joy as he held out his arms. A moment later he had clasped the little old lady close to his heart. There was a peaceful, satisfied look on her face as she followed her husband to the waiting buggy. The eyes watching at the car window filled with tears. Again the wedding refrain, "Till death do us part," sounded in her ears. The train was moving, and the old man and the little old lady were soon left far behind. The sun burst through a rift in the clouds and miniature rainbows danced before Margaret's eyes. She hastily lowered the blind, but still kept her face turned toward the window. "It is fortunate that your visit ended today, and that business calls me to Chicago. Your aunt and uncle will suspect nothing. All the folks who were at Kittie's last night have promised to keep silent until I give them permission to speak. No one else need ever know, for the marriage can be annulled without publicity. Even the gossips who predicted our union will soon forget all about us, when we are both gone." His spiritless tones trailed off into silence, and he resumed his moody contemplation of the bald head in front of him. "I do not wish a divorce," said Margaret, abruptly. "I have heard you say you do not believe in legal separation," he said. "Neither do I. In our case one could hardly call it a divorce. By the testimony of the witnesses it will be proved that we did not intend the ceremony to be binding. The law will cancel the marriage and you will be free. I will go away and the whole affair will be only a memory. "Why should you go away?" she asked faintly. "Of course it isn't necessary that I should go. But it would not be easy to live within 40 miles of the woman I love, when the law has put her as far out of my reach as though an ocean divided us. You would not want to see me after you are free." "Suppose I do not want to be free?" Her voice trembled, but he was too miserable to notice it. "You must not remain bound to a man you do not love, because of a sense of duty. You are young, and will probably live many years. Some time the right man will come; when he does, you will marry him and be happy." "And you?" she asked gently, with a furtive glance at his grave, sad face. "Oh, it doesn't matter about me. I hope I am man enough not to wreck my life because happiness is denied me. You know I don't wish freedom, but I want you to be happy." He sighed wearily and turned his head away from her. The canary belonging the elderly spinster who sat behind them suddenly broke forth into a song so joyous that the black-eyed baby clapped his hands and laughed aloud. And at that moment Margaret's heart began to sing, too. The puffing locomotive, the rumbling car wheels, the canary and the baby's laugh all seemed to join in shouting the refrain, "Till death do us part." "Fred," she murmured turning her radiant face toward him. "I do not need to wait for the right man." Fred looked at her uncomprehendingly. "Don't you understand, dear boy? If we had not been married by accident I might never have known that the right man had come!" As he looked into her luminous eyes the shadows fled from his face. Unmindful of his surroundings, he kissed his wife's lips. "There's gwine to be a weddin' soon, if dis child knows anything about it," chuckled the porter, nudging the grinning train boy. "Aw, go long!" exclaimed the train boy, with a backward glance at Carleton's happy face. "Can't you tell a bride and groom when you see 'em? I know they didn't come on the train together; and there ain't any rice stickin' in their hair, nor any white ribbons tied to their grips. But I tell you, they're on their honeymoon! You can't fool me!" He backed out of the car, winking knowingly at the passengers. Everybody laughed, even the sour-faced drummer. The canary sang as if it would burst its tiny throat. And the black-eyed baby suddenly reached his hands toward blushing Margaret. His Theory. "Why do you want to take sides in a feud that doesn't concern you? You run great risks." "I know I do, pard. But it's safer than being an innocent bystander." WASHINGTON GOSSIP President Taft Leads Strenuous Life Work Planned for the Extra Session Work Planned for the Extra Session Dreadnoughts Showing Marked Advance IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH WHEN YOU GET USE TO IT. WASHINGTON.—Uncle Sam has more gold in his possession today than he has ever had before in his life. Treasurer Lee McClung looked over his balance sheet recently and found the government had more than $1,000,000,000 in gold coin, to say nothing of $126,000,000 in bullion. Never before in the history of the government has it had so much gold piled up in its coffers. Not only is this a record-breaking amount for the government to have, but there is more gold in the treasury now than in the vaults of Great Britain and France combined, or of Great Britain and Russia combined. In other words, this government has more gold, in gold coin and bullion, than any other two nations. This vast golden hoard represents the accumulation of a long series of years. It is not ascribed to any particular financial development of recent occurrence. By no means is all this gold coin and bullion stored in Washington. Any burglarious gentle- PRESIDENT TAFT has proved to the satisfaction of official Washington that he can lead the strenuous life, even if he does not wade through Rock creek every rainy Saturday afternoon and make 90-mile horseback rides to show his physical fitness. During the past winter the president has gone through a program, official and social, that would have left many a younger man gasping for breath. In spite of it all the president today looks as if he were in the best of health, a bit pale from lack of golf and plenty of outdoor exercise, but still in good trim. Anyone who thinks the president has an easy time should remember his daily schedule. He is up before seven o'clock, and with his physical director, Dr. Barker, he does some stunts which serve to give him an appetite for breakfast. Mr. Taft leaves the executive mansion for his office shortly after nine o'clock, and from the time he arrives until 1:30 or 2 o'clock, he is constantly with the cabinet or with callers. Many a day he shakes hands with AND I WENT SOUTH TO REST WHILE resting in Georgia, President Taft gave considerable attention to certain portions of his message to congress. He went to the south solely for rest, but reciprocity, the Mexican war, and other questions of state would not down. There will probably be three important messages to the extra session of congress. At least that is the present expectation of the executive. One will deal solely with reciprocity, another with tariff revision and a third with the Mexican war. The war message will come in connection with the request for an appropriation to meet the expenses of the "maneuvers." There will be a deficiency in the allowance for army mobilization. This must be made up by congress, and in asking for the one, or five, or ten million dollars, with which ONE of the last acts of the last congress was to make provisions for two of the most powerful fighting machines in the United States navy. The limit of cost and time of completion of the dreadnought Florida was extended and additional funds were voted for the new New York and the Texas, the keel of which will be laid in a few months. Each vessel, will cost $6,400,000 and 3,000 skilled workmen will be employed in the New York navy yard for the next three years in the work of construction. The dreadnought type is one of very recent date. Through her alliance with Japan Great Britain was the first to learn the lesson of the all- man who thinks he can tunnel under the treasury and find all this gold in that institution is in error. The gold is partly in the vaults of the treasury here in Washington, some of it is in the vaults of the subtreasuries and some of it is in the mints of Philadelphia and Denver. As a matter of fact the greater part of it is at the two mints named. About $935,000,000 of the total coin is held in trust to redeem outstanding gold certificates. Three years ago the government transferred $275,000,000 in gold coin from San Francisco to Denver. That task was accomplished at a cost of $275,000. Kaiser Wilhelm and the German government have stored away a part of the indemnity from France, which can be used for war purposes at a moment's notice, if need be. But the chest of Germany is small compared with Uncle Sam's hoard of gold. Never before in the history of the world was there anything like it. If all the gold coin and gold bullion of the government were converted into $20 gold pieces and laid on the ground side by side they would form a string of gold pieces reaching almost half across the United States. The string of gold would reach from New York to Chicago and a good distance beyond. scores of visitors and talks with members of congress and other officials about important matters. After luncheon the president usually comes back to his office for an hour or more of work. Then he goes for a walk of several miles through the capital. After the walk he sees more callers and frequently does not get into the White House until close to eight o'clock—the hour for dinner. Although Mr. Taft probably likes home life as well as any other American, he has accepted far more invitations to "go out" than did his predecessor. The president has almost completely forgotten a custom followed by Mr. Roosevelt of not attending social functions outside the White House except those given by the vicepresident and members of the cabinet. Mr. Taft has frequently attended receptions or balls given in honor of his daughter, Helen, a debutante of this season. He has also lent his presence at many other functions of the season at the homes of friends and at several public affairs. In addition to all this social activity the president has consented to make dozens of speeches and to attend many banquets of national organizations which have met here in the winter months. Altogether, it is seldom that Mr. Taft gets through the "day's work" until midnight. His average "sleep" must not be much over six hours a night. to meet this expense, the president will outline the reason for the army movement. Already an inquiry by congress is scented in this connection. If President Taft believes that the Democrats in the present congress are going to pass the reciprocity bill to carry out the Canadian agreement and then go home and wait for the regular session of congress in December before they do anything, he is very much mistaken. The Democrats declare their intention of keeping faith with the president and passing his reciprocity measure just as quick as possible, but they are not going to stop there. There was no understanding with the president prior to the calling of the extra session as to what legislation should be attempted beyond the carving out of the reciprocity compact. Messrs. Clark and Underwood told the president that it was their purpose to revise the tariff. It is stated that the president thoroughly understood the situation, and for this reason the reports which emanated from Atlanta that the president expects the congress to pass reciprocity and then go home are discounted. big-gun ship, and immediately set about solidifying it in steel. Some of our own progressive navy officers had earlier read the lesson in the war with Spain and plans of the U. S. S. Feasible and the U. S. S. Possible had been drawn and pigeon-holed. Then when the British Dreadnought went overboard and the type which she embodied was revealed, there was a hurried dusting off of the pigeon-holed plan and a clamor for appropriations wherewith to build the ships. The main battery of the new ships will consist of ten 14-inch guns, while the secondary battery will have over a score of five-inch weapons. The guns of the secondary battery are intended for repelling torpedo attack. These guns have a range of five miles and an extreme rapidity of fire, each being capable of firing 15 shells a minute. With 12 available for a broadside that would mean a rain of 180 shells a minute, which could be concentrated on any attacking flotilla. 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. Phans York 2341 Denver Phones, Office Main 5595.

There were 20 guests and the invitations read thus: “Miss Dorothy Brown requests the pleasure of Miss Mary Collins’ com- ‘pany at a geography party on Tues- day from four to seven, April 21, at $425 Spring street. Costumes.” ‘The invitations were sent out a good ‘two weeks in advance to give the mothers time to talk {t over and plan the costumes. In many instances what the children had determined the char- acter they represerted. For example: The lttle boy who had a complete Indian outfit went as “The first Amer- fcan,” a lad who rejoiced in a good big, fat plaster pig went as an Irish: man with a clay pipe and a high hat, ‘a vivid green necktie and a quaint lit- te black swallow-tall coat worn over brillant green knee breeches.. The ‘young hostess represented “Miss Geography.” Her dress was of pale blue silk, with a band of maps around the bottom put on with library paste; a wide girdle was the equator. It was of black velvet and the shoul- ee had a series of graduated capes of grayish silk, marked “Cape Horn,” "Cape Hatteras.” Her neck was cir- cled by the tsthmus of Panama, On fier head ele wore a cunningly de- ‘vised cap of papler mache made from ‘a globe. In her hand she carried a wand, from which blue and white rib- bons streamed, bearing the names “North and South Poles.” One of the amusements was a jolly ‘game called “Mail Bags.” The guests sat on chairs,in a semi-circle and when the leader called out “The mail is going from Ireland to Mexico,” the two children representing these places ‘ran and changed chairs as quickly as possible. When the leader called"Gen- eral Delivery” then every one changed places, a chair being taken out quick- ly by the leader and the one who was left became the leader when the next “mail went out.” Another game proved a great success. A large map of Europe was hung on the wall and each child was given a bit of paper marked “Dan (I must explain that Dan was about to go to Europe for the summer); the game was to study the map first to find the location of Paris; then each child in turn was blindfolded and tried to see how near they could come to putting “Dan” in Paris. Each slip of paper was left Just where placed on the map until all had tried. Then st was great, fun to see where “Dan” found himself. Only one came any glace near Paris. ‘The last amusement of all was the most fun. The guests were told to form in Hne and go into the next room to buy their tickets for the coun- try or place they represented.

Person- ally I do not like “surprises,” but if some one of the family is taken into confidence the affair can generally be managed with satisfaction to all. Let each girl prepare a basket or box of luncheon for two, just as daintily as possible. On arriving pile their boxes in one place.

When partners are found go to the dining room, where doubtless some willing member of the family will have arranged a pretty table. MADAME MERRI The new beaded sashes are lovely.
