THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY FOUNDER'S The Eighteenth Founder's Day at Hampton Institute Principal Address delivered by Dr. Edward W. Schauffler of Kansas City, Mo. VOL. XVIII. FOUNDI The Eighteenth Founder's Principal Address del W. Schauffler of Hampton, Va., Jan. 29. The eighteenth Founder's Day was fittnily celebrated at Hampton Institute, on Sunday, January 28, in honor of Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded the Hampton School in 1868 for the education of both Negro and Indian youth, and who for twenty-five years served as its efficient principal. The principal address of the day was delivered by Dr. Edward W. Schuffler, of Kansas City, Moo, who first met General Armstrong on the soil of Virginia during the Civil War and later assisted the founder of Hampton in adjusting the relations of the white and colored people. Dr. Schauffler in part as follows: "In the winter of 1865 and 1866 the General came to New York where I was studying medicine and carried me off with a commission as assistant surgeon to doctor the Negroes in Elizabeth City County, Va., and its vicinity. "The duties of a superintendent in the Freedmen's Bureau were most varied. Thousands of colored people had poured into this part of Virginia before the close of the war. They had squatted on the land, farmland and otherwise. "After the close of the war, a thousand questions came up as to the title to land, what disposition to make of the colored people, how to secure employment for them, and how to wean them from Government support. "Un all his dealings with people white or black, the dominant manliness of General Armstrong, his reasonableness keen sense of justice, and sense of humor, too, and the faculty of lightening a serious situation with a laugh-compelling joke, generally won the day and left all parties fairly well, if not entirely, satisfied with his decisions. "During all the latter period of our life together, Armstrong's mind was full of the thought of this normal and industrial institute, which seemed to him to be such a crying need. "He spoke of it to every one—to the Southern gentleman, to us who were his immediate associates, to the secretaries of the missionary societies, to the more thoughtful Northern tourists, and to the Negro preachers. He got but lit- --- tle encouragement from any class of his listeners, but his enthusiasm was not on that account abated. "Armstrong's thought was all of what he could do for others; and so the eternal law held good that he who gives, receives; that he who forgets himself, in the service of God and man, is not forgotten! So here stands, in this magnificent institution, the monument to the man who followed his ideals, who turned his back on selfish ends to work for others, for the pacification of a land, for the upbuilding of a race. "Better even than monuments of brick and stone, of scholarship and industrial success, are the earnest and devoted lives that received their inspiration from his noble soul, and that going forth among their own people, have spread further and further the light and the blessing which they here received. "Be bold, and brave, and humble with trust in God and faith in men patient and of good cheer, and your success and reward are assured." HAMPTON INSTITUTE TRUSTEES The following Hampton trustees came to Hampton Institute for the Founder's Day celebration and board and meeting: Robert C. Ogden, president of the Hampton, board of trustees, New York; Charles E. Biglow, New York; William Jay Schieffelin, New York; Lunsford L. Lewis, Richmond, Va., Rev. James W. Cooper, New York; William W. Frazier, Philadelphia, Pa.; Frank W. Darling, Hampton, Va., Clarence H. Kelsey, New York; and Samuel C. Mitchell, Columbia, S. C. RACE OF WISE MEN FOUND IN AFRICA Berlin, Jan. 27.—Dr. Nekes, an authority on Africa, has found in the neighborhood of the new German territory surrendered by France, a tribe he described as "the people of the future," assigning to them practically all the civilized virtues, as well as original strength and manliness. The new nation is a branch of the mighty Fang race called Jaunde. They number half a million now and are rapidly increasing. The whole nation is pushing westward from its native region DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10 1912. near the sources of the White Nile. Dr. Nekes says the people are amazingly intelligent, very powerful physically, are found of work and have an astonishingly rich language, while they can express in native idom the most modern ideas of the most modern things—such as cigars and telephones. They are divided into three social classes, freemen, freedmen and slaves captured in war. Their religion consists partly of ancestor worship and partly of belief in ghosts. Considering that all evil comes from witchcraft and sorcery they have witch finders. Regarding women as the source of all mischief, when a chieftain dies they beat his wives to make sure that they punish the right one. Dr. Nekes regards them intelligently on the level of Europeans in the middle ages. He says they have the same fixedness of purpose unspoiled by modern softness. Strong efforts are to be made by the German Government to pursue this rapidly multiplying people to settle in new German Territory, where they will be carefully looked after until they are fully able to provide for themselves. NEGRO PYTHIANS WILL NOT SURRENDER The Supreme Court of Tennessee at its session Wednesday refused to grant the Writ of certiorari prayed for by the colored Pythians. The latter is given six months to disband by the decree. The decree allows this time for the order to wind up its affairs, dispose of its regalia, etc. It will be remembered that the white Knights instituted suit against the colored fraternity some two years ago, which has been contested from the lowest to the highest court of the state. Able counsel was employed. Much money has been spent. During the litigation the Negro order grew and flourished. The leaders are men of good repute, men of probity and high standing, who had hoped for the best. They have built one of the most powerful Negro fraternities extant, and were doing an untold good to the widows and orphans of deceased members. The organization has property in nearly every city and crossroad in the state. The valuation of which is nearly a half million dollars. Each subordinate lodge has a reserve fund. Then, too, the Endowment and Grand Lodge have ample finances. The rank and file are of the very best Negro citizenship of the state. The farmer, lawyer, doctor, in fine, men from all respectable walks of life. Mr. C. O. Booth, Grand Attorney of the order, is here preparing the papers in the case in order that an appeal may be made to the United States Supreme Court. It will be remembered that the Negro Pythians of Georgia have pending a similar case in that high tribunal. Georgia's courts, like Tennessee's, decided adversely to the Negroes, but the Negro Pythians of that state kept up legal contest. It cannot be said when a decision will be had, but in the meantime the bodies will continue to meet, get new members and do good to all men. The Endowment Boards of the Knights of Pythias and Order of Calanthe were in session here Saturday. Much business was transacted. Both boards report the largest endowment collected in the history of the order. On account of not having received a much-looked-for communication from Secretary A. Thos. Hill we cannot give in detail the figures of the Pythians.—Nashville Globe. Boulder Colo., News Mrs. Malvina Jordan, mother of Mrs. S. B.

C., National Organizer of the National Negro Business League, was here last week arranging for the meeting of the Alabama Negro Business League to be held here February 15 and 16. Prof. Moore gave out the following statement: "Since the organization of the National Negro Business League twelve years ago by Booker T. Washington, president, the Negro banks have been increased from two to fifty-six. NO 22 These banks worked last year on an approximate capitalization of $1,700,000 and transacted a volume of business aggregating $20,-000,000. "There are forty Negro Insurance companies whose business last year amounted to $1,500,-000. Perhaps the largest volume of business was done by an insurance company with headquarters in Durham, N. C. That company has $80,000 reserve fund and reported a surplus deposit of about $30,000 in different banks at the meeting held in December. "Our National League now keeps tab on about 25,000 places of business management by Negroes, including a hosiery mill, a cotton mill, a shirt factory, an oil mill, furniture stores, shoe stores, haberdasher, groceries, etc., besides hundreds of farmers. "I am here to plan for the fourth annual meeting of the Alabama Negro Business league, composed of twenty-five local leagues, being a branch of the National League, which is composed of five hundred local leagues. "We are expecting the largest meeting here in February ever held in the State." SEPERATE WAITING ROOMS IN BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md., Jan 31.—The placing of separate waiting rooms for Negroes in the Camden station of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has aroused the colored people of this city as they have not been stirred lately. The "Jim Crow" signs were placed in the station ten days ago, and the news spread like wildfire. The pastors of various churches spoke out against the attempt of the road to "Jim Crow" the people of Baltimore. In their pulpits Sunday, and on Monday the colored Baptist Ministers' Conference appointed a committee to draft a protest. In speaking of the matter Editor Murphy said: "The discrimination is without warrant of law and may please the gentlemen who will come from the South to attend the Democratic National Convention, but we intend to fight it. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which is the oldest railroad in the country, has enjoyed liberal support, from the race. If the discontinuation is not done away those who have in charge the transportation arrangements for the several general conferences and conventions that are to be held this year should see that the company does not get their patronage."

WRIGHT IN SOCIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF THE GREAT QUESTION SAYS IT IS NOT A NEGRO PROBLEM IF THE MALADJUSTMENT IS NOT COMMON TO THE WHOLE GROUP. Philadelphia.—Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., has recently issued in book form extracts from his two lectures on the sociological attitude in the study of negro problems, which he prepared for and delivered to the social study class at the University of Pennsylvania. The first part tells of the attitude which social students ought to have in the study of race problems and the difficulties involved. The second part consists of an analysis of the negro problem. The lectures attracted considerable attention, being regarded as among the most philosophic and logical ever delivered on the subject at any of the leading colleges. Under the caption the "Study of Race Problems" Professor Wright says: "In the study of the facts in human activity the very condition of scientific value must be the accuracy and impartiality of the observation of students. For accurate observation the student must be tolerant and open-minded. He must be widely acquainted with the history and condition of peoples in different parts of the world in order to be entirely rld of national, sectional, racial, religious and political bias. "In spite of his race, religion and early education, he ought to be able to look at the facts of society entirely from an impersonal point of view. This is especially necessary in the study of nationalities and races different from our own. We are very liable to underrate these peoples—to consider their mental and physical differences and mental and physical inferiorities; to call their religion heathenish; to look upon their racial tendencies as downward if they are not as ours. This will give us a provincial philosophy, but nothing of real scientific value. "In what consists the particular and peculiar race problem of which we hear so much? A social problem may be said to exist with reference to any particular group when there is in any way maladjustment of that group with respect to its environment. Then the negro problem must be a social problem of maladjustment between the negro group and its American environment. A social problem is a negro problem in so far as the social maladjustment is, first, common to the great mass of the negro group and, second, peculiar to it. It is not a negro problem if the maladjustment is not common to the entire negro group—that is, only negroes suffer it. This we must get clearly in our minds if we are to understand the problem of the negro. "Much confusion already exists as to just what this maladjustment is, and to avoid further confusion careful analysis is necessary. The average person with whom I have come in contact identifies in some way the negro problem with the problem of ignorance and vice, or with poverty and immorality, or with industrial inefficiency, unemployment or some other pathological social condition. One says if it were not for the ignorance of the negro there would be no problem. But let us examine this and we will see that the negro problem is not a problem of illiteracy or ignorance. In the first place, illiteracy is not common to the negro race, for the majority of them can read and write. "In the second place, illiteracy is not peculiar to them as a race, for there are more white illiterates in this country than negro illiterates. In 1900 the census gave 3,200,69 as the number of white illiterates and 2,853,194 as the number of negro illiterates in the United States. There are, according to the same census, fourteen times as many white illiterates in the state of Pennsylvania as negro illiterates. "By the same authority in proportion to population there is less illiteracy among the younger generation of negroes living in the north than in the same class of whites living in the south. The throngs which come to our great cities have a great deal more ignorance among the foreign white element than among the negroes. It is plain, therefore, that ignorance and illiteracy are not the negro problem, although many negroes as well as whites are involved in the general problem of ignorance, which has no color whatever." TRIED TO AVOID HIM. "I am sorry to see you here again." said the judge. "You're not half as sorry as I am, judge." said the prisoner. "Bad company, my man, as I told you before, is sure to bring you back," said the judge. "Yes, judge," said the prisoner. "But I can't help myself. I tried to avoid this vulgar cop, but he just reg'larly thrust hisself upon me."—Harper's Weekly. A REMARKABLE DINNER FORTY RACES ATTEND BANQUET AT HOTEL ASTOR GIVEN BY New York.—One of the most remarkable dinners ever given in New York took place at the Hotel Astor, when the representatives of forty races got together at a peace banquet given by the Metropolitan Section of the New York World.

E. church, south, and one of the most conservative leaders of his race, is dead, the end coming at the residence, 360 Houston street. Bishop Gaines was seventy-one years of age. He was born in Washington, Ga. For about 30 years he had been a bishop of his church and was highly esteemed by white and black for his work along educative lines and for his safe and sane advice to the members of his race. He was responsible for the establishment of Morris Brown college and much of his time and attention was given to the needs of this institution. About a year ago he suffered from a severe attack of the grip and had never fully recovered. The immediate illness that caused his death, however, was a short one. He leaves a wife and daughter. SOUTH CAROLINA TEACHERS. Manning, S. C.—The twelfth annual session of the State Colored Teachers association met in Orangeburg, with a large enrollment of educators representing the teaching fraternity of the race, and the leading schools in the public system of negro education, also the leading colleges and universities for negroes in this state. The meeting was one of great importance, as its effect upon the life and working of the school in South Carolina is felt. There were able discussions by some of the strongest men and women of the profession. "School Improvement," "School Needs," "Teachers Associations," "Supervision of Negro Schools" and "Negro High Schools" were some of the subjects discussed in a manner that meant information and inspiration to the body of teachers gathered. The officers of the associations for South Carolina are: Prof. N. J. Frederick, superintendent of the Howard Graded school at Columbia, president; Prof. S. L. Finley, principal Chester school, secretary; Mrs. C. D. Saxon of Columbia, treasurer. A committee, consisting of Dr. W. D. Chappelle, president of Allen university; J. B. Beck, principal of the Georgetown public schools, and Prof. J. E. Wallace, dean of languages in Claflin university at Orangeburg, issued an address to the country, setting forth in a masterly way the wants of the negroes in their desire for more funds, better buildings and more equipment for their schools. The sessions of the association were held in the chapel of the state University for Negroes. A royal reception was given the teachers of the state by the president and faculty of this great school. Prof. R. Shaw Wilkinson of Charleston, S. C., is president of the state university. He succeeded Dr. Thomas E. Miller, who held the position for 15 years. WHERE WATER GOES. All the rain that percolates down into the earth comes to the surface again somewhere. It goes down until it meets rock, through which it cannot pass, and as more water is coming down all pressing upon it, it has to find a way to escape to the surface. In this underground trip it takes up from rocks the salts that are useful to the life of plants and animals. TO SERVE WARRANTS ON 32 LABOR LEADERS AT ONE TIME. BOND TO BE $300,000 THIS AMOUNT TO BE ASKED FOR THEIR APPEARANCE IN INDIANAPOLIS. Indianapolis.—Caplases for the simultaneous arrest of all the men named in the thirty-two indictments returned by the federal grand jury in the dynamite conspiracy cases, with certified copies of the indictments, were completed in the expectation that the arrests might be effected within five days. The necessity of the government to take into custody so many prisoners located in at least twenty distant cities within a given time so that, through premature arrests, one defendant by demanding a copy of his indictment may not reveal the names of his alleged co-conspirators, is regarded as unusual. The defendants, accused of complicity with the McNamaras and Ortie E. McManigal in perpetrating more than one hundred explosions before and after the wrecking of the Los Angeles Times building, will number at least forty and probably more. Although the men, most of them labor union officers and agents, are scattered from Boston to the Pacific coast, the papers for their apprehension have been so arranged that they are to be arrested and afforded an opportunity to give bond the same day, and as near as possible within a few hours. The bond, said for all the men to aggregate $300,000, is to be asked for their appearance in Indianapolis March 12, when they are to be arraigned before Federal Judge Anderson. The statement was made that there were at least eight more defendants than the number of indictments returned, as many of the true bills contained more than one name. Telegrams announcing the return of the indictments are said to have been forwarded from United States District Attorney Miller's office to authorities in various federal districts where arrests are to follow. "While there will be no haste in making arrests, it will be done as soon as possible," said Mr. Miller. "Many inquiries have come asking for the exact day, but we have declined to answer. "Except for the necessity of arresting everybody indicted within a given time, we are handling these cases just as we would any others." Although the defendants individually probably will seek counsel after their arrest, it is expected the defense of all the men ultimately will be consolidated. Frank M. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers at the headquarters here, where J. J. McNamara formerly had his offices, said he had made no plans for the defense of any of the men. "There will be time enough to think of that when we learn who have been indicted,"said Mr. Ryan. Nagel May Get Appointment. Washington.—The vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, the fifth that has occurred in the present administration, probably will be filled by Secretary of Commerce and Labor Chas. Nagel of St. Louis. President Taft is expected to send the nomination of Mr. Nagel to the Senate within a few days. Must Wrap Parcels Well. Washington.—Parcels improperly or inadequately wrapped will not be accepted by postmasters for mailing. The Postoffice Department has received complaints, particularly from foreign countries, that parcels contained in the mails from this country have been received in damaged condition. Thief Makes Big Haul. Chicago.—A man walked into a jewelry store here, picked up two sample cases full of jewelry, worth $20,000, walked out and has not been found. --- To Foster American Shipping. To Foster American Shipping. The Honolulu Bulletin announces that "the Home Industry League of Hawaii is starting a movement in aid of the American merchant marine by inducing shippers to divide their transpacific shipping among American bottoms and otherwise foster the patronage of vessels flying the American flag." That journal also calls attention to the desire in the Philippines for a direct steamship line between Manila and the United States, with Honolulu as the half way point.

CHURCH NOTES. Twenty-sixth and Clarkson. A $1,500 mortgage paying rally was launched at the official board meeting last Monday evening. The same clubs that worked for the current expenses of the church will be used for this rally. The church will rally for six months. The date set for the rally will be the last Sunday in August. Bro. Burrell and Bro. McPherson will donate a handsome thirty-inch doll to be given as a prize, and Bro. McPherson will donate a handsome pair of lace curtains to the captain who raises the most money. Let us go to work now. All loyal members are urged to pay up their subscriptions for the past year. This will more than pay up the stewards and pay up a great number of debts. "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse of the Lord." The four classes will rally on the fourth Sunday in order to pay up the steward's claim. Let every member contribute as the Lord has blessed him. The pastor is very busy these days getting subscription on the benevo- lences. We must not fall behind this year. Let this be the best report in the history of the church. Sunday will be the occasion of the anniversary of the Freedmen's Aid Society. The Rev. C. W. Holmes will preach the anniversary sermon Sunday evening. Special music will be rendered by the choir. You are invited. Sunday morning the pastor will preach on "Grieve Not the Holy Spirit." You should hear this text. The Epworth League was led by Mrs. Emma Galimore and Miss Luella Perry. Next Sunday it will be led by Miss Lela Rice.

Let us help him. Mrs. Mary F. Thomas deposited her membership in Scott's Sunday. Mrs. Thomas is from Nashville, Tenn., and comes from our Clark Memorial Church, one of the largest in Nashville. MADAME DISHMAN. The testimonial given this noted singer by the choir of Shorter's A. M. E. Church was a splendid success. The people of Denver turned out in force, to show their appreciation of the service rendered to our people by this talented woman. The Colorado Statesman join with her many friends and admirers in wishing her a God speed on her journey to the rising sun. Denver, Colo., Jan. 9, 1912. Union Health & Accident Co. Gentlemen: I thank you for your kind attention. I am a young man of twenty-one years of age. I have been insured in the Union Health & Accident Co. for very near five months, November 8, 1911, when I unfortunately met with an accident of a bruised ankle and was totally disabled for more than six weeks. A few days ago I received your check for $57.65 and credit for five months' dues, for which I thank you very much. I had never realized what it was to carry a little insurance. You people have helped me out very much. I will gladly recommend the Union Health & Accident Co. to any one that would like to carry an accident insurance. I remain, yours truly, A. W. EKSTROM. 1247 Stuart St., Denver, Colo. LIZARD HEAD PEAK STILL STANDS. Shall the mountain come to Mahomet? In the West sensational newspaper writers seem to be determined that it shall, if the prophet happens to be near the foot of the peak. Of late we have read numerous stories of sliding mountains, slipping mountains, the demolition of the cross on the Mount of the Holy Cross (which was conclusively proved untrue), etc., etc. And to these was recently added a plausible tale to the effect that Lizard Head (altitude 13, 156 feet), one of the most striking peaks in southwestern Colorado, on the Rio Grande Southern railroad, had wielded to the force of gravity and toppled over—or at least a great portion of it. But, alas for the credulous newspaper man! The railroad superintendent now states authoritatively that the published report of the accident was due to a joke perpetrated on the daily press, which innocently published the item; and, it being a most attractive calamity, the news was reprinted broadcast throughout the land. However, the huge head still stands, nose upward, and, having never been scaled, presents a tantalizing challenge to American mountain climbers. Who will be the first on the summit? Money in Gathering Gum. A gum hunter gathered 1,300 pounds of spruce gum the last summer in the Adirondack mountains. The most he ever secured in a single day was 30 pounds. His profits may be estimated when it is known that any druggist will gladly pay $1.50 a pound for the gura. Unprofitable Sport "Possums are abundant aroune Wattsboro," says the Luenenburg Tribune, "but a man in that neighborhood went out hunting the other night and after his dogs got after some thing he cut down two trees and finally ran his own cat into the dining room at his own home." TASTY GERMAN DINNER TASTY GERMAN DINNER MENU THAT EVEN AN AMERICAN WILL ENJOY. Wholesome and Appetizing Dishes of the Fatherland Are Easily Prepared and Worth the Trouble for Variety They Afford. Noodle Soup—Take a nice piece of short rib and a shin bone and cook slowly for about two hours. Then strain. Then take three eggs, one and a half cups of flour and make a stiff dough. Work it well until the dough is very smooth, then roll out very thin and let dry medium. Cut in long strips and fold; then cut very fine some parsley, add a few dashes of nutmeg to soup. Now the noodles are added and all is to be boiled 10 minutes, then served. Bread Dumplings—Take some stale white bread and cut in small squares, then pour over them a half cup of very hot drippings and stir; then cover and let stand for a while so that the bread softens. Beat four eggs lightly, add salt and nutmeg and about one cup of bread crumbs (not cracker crumbs). Stir thoroughly and make into balls. Drop these into boiling water and let boil 20 minutes. Then serve with meat gravy. They will be very light and delicious. Sauerkraut—Take as much sauerkraut as wished and if too sour put in collander and let a little cold water run through it. Put in pot with a little water, add caraway seeds and let cook slowly until soft. Then grate a raw potato and mix with a little flour, then beat quickly into sauerkraut. Pour about two tablespoons of grease from the pork roast over this. This will be a dish that even an American will enjoy. Pork Roast—Take a nice roast of pork from the end of the loin, wash well, then rub salt and pepper in and let stand a while before roasting. Cut half of an onion and a small piece of garlic and two leaves of fresh sage, not ground, into it. Then add some water, enough for gravy. Roast slowly and baste often. Serve on well heated plates. Mashed Potatoes—Take the best potatoes, peel and boil, then strain and mash them. Add butter and salt and beat with a spoon to a cream. Coffee Cake—Two cups flour with one yeast cake dissolved in lukewarm milk. Put in a warm place to raise. Melt a half pound of butter, cup of sugar and beat to a cream; add two eggs, a half teaspoon cinnamon, half teaspoon lemon flavoring and a little salt. Add to raised dough and beat well. Then place in pan with a little sugar, cinnamon and small pieces of butter over it. Let it raise once before baking. Coffee—Take as much coffee as needed, place in a sack and pour boiling water over it slowly. This takes the bitter taste away. Let stand on back of hot stove. Serve with cream. Worth Knowing. A tape loop on the apron band is a convenience and will save the apron from being torn if hung on a hook. Sew the loop on the "wrong" side of the band. Remember when frying fish that if the fat in which it is fried is not quite boiling the fish will be greasy, sodden and unwholesome. Never put in the fish till a blue smoke is rising from the fat. The next time you wish to beat the yolk and white of an egg separately try this plan: Break the egg, leaving the yolk in the half shell. Beat the white stiff, then drop in the yolk and beat together. It is not only done better, but you save washing an extra dish and losing a large proportion of the egg yolk that sticks to dish and egg beater. Spice Cake. A recipe for making spice cake is sent in by Sunbeam of the Buckeye state. Stir one cup of butter, two cups of granulated sugar and the yolks of three eggs until very light. Add two teaspoons of cinnamon, one of allspice, one of cloves, one-half teaspoon of ginger, one-half teaspoon of nutmeg, one cup of buttermilk, one teaspoon of soda dissolved in one-third of a cup of hot water, and three cups of flour. To this add the beaten whites of two eggs. Bake in three layers and use icing. Care of Lamps When the burners become dark and dirty put them in lye water and boil until the black will rub off; then moisten salt with vinegar and rub thoroughly. Then take a dry piece of wool cloth and polish. Take the old wicks that have been in use quite a while and boil them in a strong suds and rub and rinse in several waters, then soak in vinegar and hang out and dry and when you put all together and light you will have as brilliant light as if all were new. A Cold Weather Help Heating clothespins well in the oven before going out in the wind to hang out washing prevents much chilling to the fingers. Two or three thicknesses of dry cotton cloth spread over the basket of wet clothes will prevent them from becoming unmanageable. Gingerbread. Half cup molasses, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup sugar, $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup of shortening, 1 teaspoon of ginger, a little salt, 1 cup of boiling water. 1 teaspoon of soda, $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ cups of flour.

Mrs. D. B. Simmons of Silex, Ark, writes: "I tried one bottle of Ford's Hair Pomade and found it to be the best preparation I have ever used. It stopped my hair from falling out and breaking off and my hair is now as soft as it can be and is longer than it has been for a long time. My friends all want it.

Janus in Mythical History. Janus was invoked at the commencement of most actions; even in the worship of the other gods the votary began by offering wine and incense to Janus. The first month in the year was named for him.-M. A. Dwight. Just a Mere Trifle A. B. Fowler of Watertown, N. Y., was petting a prize white Leghorn hen at the Allentown (Pa.) poultry show, when she began pecking at his shirt front. In a few minutes she had loosened and swallowed his valuable diamond. He declined to allow the owner to kill her, saying he had lots of diamonds at home. When the West Awoke. The Great West stirred in his sleep. Then he awoke and looked about him. "Talk about the catterpillar and the butterfly," he exclaimed; "I was the great American desert when I lay down for a half century nap, and I wake to find myself in the garden spot of the world." Selfishness Universal. A Kansas City judge announces as an original discovery that selfishness is the chief cause of divorce. Of course it is. It is also the cause of most of the other troubles of humanity. Eliminate selfishness from the nature of man and the millennium would be with us. STATE OF COLORADO, } City and County of Denver. jss.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A year from now the negroes of this country—ten millions of them—should celebrate their fiftieth anniversary as freemen. What is being done preparatory to this memorable occasion? Comparatively nothing whatever. After congress failed to act upon the proposed national emancipation celebration the leaders assumed a quiescent state that left no room for doubt as to how they proposed to act. 'This true the Negro Business league has a committee somewhere, but where and what they are about is not discoverable. It is high time that the matter of nation-wide observance, so far as the negro race is concerned, be considered. In lieu of the absence of a national organization, great fraternal orders and religious bodies of the race should prepare to hold such a celebration as they deem befitting, without reference to others. We suggest that our general conference provide connectional celebration and utilize it to he promotion of the great cause of ace evangelization and denomination- lauplift. This would not preclude co-operation active and enthusiastic with any national racial exposition, etc., that may be conducted. Since Major Wright of Georgia seems to have the biggest fair and exposition among negroes, why not turn his annual gathering into a big Emancipation exposition? If not well to hold it at Macon then elsewhere, meanwhile the negroes of the individual ex-slave states should hold state celebrations. Fifty years of freedom should at least make us capable to honor the man and the event. Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation of 4,000,000 slaves should not be forgotten by those who gained most. Let us celebrate. The race press should take up the call. In discussing the negro domestic servant editorially, a few days ago, under the head of "A Negro Monopoly," the Houston Post, among many good things said, made the following timely statement: "Character, cleanliness, intelligence, reliability, honesty and efficiency would guarantee to the negroes for all time a monopoly of this most important field of labor." The editor then asks this question: "Why do not the negro leaders stress this important truth upon the minds of the negro masses?" While we certainly appreciate the advice given in the editorial, and stress particularly the statement above quoted, yet, we wish to remind the editor of the fact that the strongest and most effective leaders of the race are doing just what he says they should do, both with tongue and pen. Dr. Booker T. Washington 4s the greatest of all leaders of the race, and the idea stressed most of all in the message he delivered to the negroes of this city not long ago, which message was given in the columns of the Houston Post, was that the negro should prepare to give intelligent, efficient service in industrial and domestic arts. Others are telling the same story. The southern states raised 15,000,000 bales of cotton last year on 35,000,000 acres of land. That is what free labor can do. Slave labor produced, in 1860, the year before the war, 4,669,770 bales. In 1860 there were 4,500,000 slaves, every one of whom, except the comparatively few engaged in domestic service and the mechanical trades, was engaged in cotton raising. In 1911, with quite 10,000,00 negro population, 15,000,000 bales were raised by free labor, not more perhaps than one-half being engaged in cotton raising. Of course improved methods of much to do with it, but the fact remains that free labor is more productive than slave labor; and the lie that the free negro would not work has been knocked down and stunned every year since 1865 by the industrial statistics of the southern states, that do not lie, which show a productivity most marvellous in the history of mankind—New York Age. H. Rider Haggard, the popular English novelist, and equally brilliant but less known sociologist, predicts the destruction of the white race unless there is a pronounced impetus given to the "back to the land movement." City life, he thinks, is gradually sapping the virtue and virility of the white race, and this flocking to the cities is the forerunner of racial disaster. This is a danger in comparison with which the "yellow peril" and the "black peril" are mere figments of a heated imagination. We are glad to note that the prophets are beginning to take note of some race other than the negro. They have been clapper-clawing him so long that a change is refreshing to ay the least.-Dallas Express. The gambling habit is far too prevalent in this city. Those gamblers who frequent dives in certain sections of the city are always on the lookout for innocent prey. These gamblers make up our criminal class and the police should run them out of the city or put them to work on the farm.—Savannah Tribune. What is an Ethiopian? The New York Sun says: Has a nation the right to select its own official name? This novel point is raised by a son of Ras Makonnen, the famous general and nephew of the late King Menelik. Writing to a French official this younger chieftain plaintively protests against the bestowal of the name of Abyssinia upon his country. This undesired appellation, he charges, was foisted upon his fatherland by the Arabs. For him, for all his countrymen, the nation is Ethiopia, and next to its complete independence its patriotic citizens ask only that Abyssinia shall become Ethiopia in the geographies of the world. We once had a talk with a well-informed man who spent some time in Abyssinia who said that the Abyssinians were highly sensitive on the question of their race, and regarded it as an insult to be styled negroes or Africans. And yet, it is stated by Biblical authorities that they are descendants of Cush, one of the sons of Ham, the alleged father of the African races. Perhaps Ras Makonnen is correct, as the Ethiopians were an older people than the Africans, and were absorbed or destroyed by the latter, as the Mizraimites of Ham in Egypte were absorbed or destroyed by the shepherd races of Shem. It is highly probable that the alleged Abyssinians are the only remnants of the ancient Ethiopians who were absorbed or destroyed by the Mizraimites of Ham, who overspread Africa as well as Asia. Attorney Alonzo E. Twine of Charleston, S. C., has been adjudged insane by an examining board of two physicians of his city, and sent to the colored ward of the asylum at Columbia, S. C., on commitment papers made out by Judge of Probate, George D. Bryan. Attorney Twine was a college graduate of Claflin university, Orangeburg, S. C., and had won for himself the name of being a brilliant and promising young attorney. A change in his life seemed to come after he had severed his connection with Old Bethel M. E. church, where his membership had been, along with his parents, and embraced a new religion, known as the "religion of Bahai," introduced in his city by Professor Gregory of Washington, D. C. The cry is rapidly going forth for more colored young men to enter the practice of law, and a single vacancy in the sparsely filled ranks of this profession is a distinct loss to the race.—Charleston Messenger. It is most interesting to see how in the old southern states the white people, especially white women, are changing their ideas of civilization and education. A few years ago the southern white girl was educated only in the "accomplishments." This meant something in music, a smattering of painting and some knowledge of literature. All that is changing for the southern white woman. She is beginning to study science; she is taking courses in applied sciences and industrial education, and one of the most interesting and far-reaching movements in this direction is indicated by the fact that throughout the south white women are organizing themselves into canning clubs. Fruits and vegetables which a few years ago were either not raised or were raised but were little cared for are now being canned during the summer for use in the winter. There is a great lesson in all this for the negro mother and the negro girl.—New York Age. The negroes have increased 11 per cent. during the last decade, while the white people have increased about 15 per cent. The comparison may be disadvantageous to the negro when viewed as a comparison simply but much of this disadvantage disappears when the large number of white immigrants and their natural increase for the decade is considered. Making all suitable deductions, it will not be found that the native whites exclusive of the immigrant have increased in numbers disproportionately with the negro. So far the showing is good. But when it comes to the summing up of totals for the nation the negro is found to be a decreasing rather than an increasing element. This fact will assuredly rob many of our orators of their thunder and may eventually solve all the negro's problems by the engulfing power of overwhelming numbers. The negro must get busy if he would keep his numerical place in American life—Durham Reformer. The most reliable history of races which is in the Bible seems to give the Cushites as the race from which the negro came, and if this is true, he (the negro) is a descendant from the race that early inhabited, ruled and controlled in the southern part of Chaldea, which is reported as the most fertile spot in the world. The most authentic geographical history states that its earliest inhabitants, or the ruling part thereof, were Cushites, of the stock of Ham. How does this show up for a race that is sometimes said to have sprung from the monkey species?—Western Star GEORGIA POPULATION BY RACES ANNOUNCED BY CENSUS BUREAU Georgia Has 1,431,836 White People, 1,176,987 Negroes, and 318 From All Other Races of World. NEGRO POPULATION IS 45.1 PER CENT., AGAINST 46.7 IN 1900—STATISTICS FOR PRINCIPAL CITIES OF STATE AND COUNTIES. Washington.—The population of Georgia by color was announced by the census bureau, subdivided as follows: White, 1,431,836; negro, 1,176,987; all others, 318, including Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc. The negro population constitutes 45.1 per cent., as against 46.7 in 1900. There are 102,860 white persons in the city of Atlanta and 51,902 negroes, with 77 Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc. The negro population constitutes 33.5 per cent, of the whole as against 39.8 per cent. in 1900 and 42.9 per cent. in 1890. It is therefore apparent that the white population of the city is fast outstripping that of the negro. The rate of increase in the white population from 1900 to 1910 more than doubled that for the increasing decade, the increase being, respectively, 48,770 or 90.2 per cent., as against 16,674 or 44.6 per cent. The increase in the negro population since 1900 has likewise been considerable, namely, 16,175 or 45.3 per cent., as compared with an increase of 7,629 or 27.2 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. The population of other Georgia cities is subdivided as follows: White. Negro. Athens 2,593 6,316 Augusta 22,648 18,344 Brunswick 4,608 5,567 Columbus 12,902 7,644 Macon 22,510 18,150 Rome 8,338 3,758 Savannah 3,784 33,246 Waycross 7,754 6,729 The rate of increase in the negro population in the state as a whole since 1900 has fallen off considerably, as compared with that of the preceding decade the increase from 1900 to 1910 being 142,174 or 13.7 per cent., as against 175,998 or 20.5 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. There was not much change between the two decades in the rate of increase in the white population of the increase from 1900 to 1910, being 250,002 or 21.2 per cent. as compared with 202,937 or 20 per cent. from 1890 to 1900.

"PRIVILEGES OF THE NEGRO" SUBJECT DISCUSSED BY JUDGE PHLEGAR BEFORE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OF BRISTOL. Bristol, Tenn.—Judge A. A. Phlegar made an address to the negroes of Bristol at the twelfth anniversary of the Negro Business League, held at the Lee Street baptist church. The main floor and gallery were crowded. In the audience were perhaps forty white people, including some of the most prominent people in the city who are interested in the progress of the negro. Robert E. Clay, president of league, made the opening prayer, while Charles Brown followed with a practical talk, in which he told of the alms of the Negro Business League. He closed with a tribute to its president, Robert E. Clay, whom he stated was a few years ago a barefoot boy on the streets of Bristol. Judge Phlegar's subject was "The Privileges of the Negro," and his address was one of the best ever delivered to a negro audience in Bristol. It was practical and abounded with wholesome advice. He enumerated chief among the negro's privileges that of citizenship, the right to acquire and hold property; educational advantages and the right to work; and lastly the right to be a good and useful citizen, helping himself and his fellow man. Judge Phlegar stated that he had always been a warm friend of the negro race and had felt a deep interest in its welfare. He said that the vicious of both races were the idle, the prosperous and the contented were those who worked. Judge Phlegar next discussed the educational advantages of the negro. He told of what is being spent for public schools, manual training schools and normal schools. He dwelt upon the importance of the young being taught useful arts and trades in order that their work would command more and enable them to live better and better provide for their families. He said that in this respect Booker T. Washington had set a splendid example for the race and that it would be well for negroes to take his counsel. The last privilege which Judge Phlegar enumerated was that of being a Christian citizen. NEGRO COLLEGE BUYS 632 ACRES MORRIS-BROWN UNIVERSITY OF ATLANTA WILL ESTABLISH A BIG INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL IN MACON. Macon, Ga.—The trustees of the Morris-Brown university of Atlanta, a negro institution, have paid $25,000 for 632 acres of land in East Macon, where an industrial school of large proportions will be established at an early date. The deal was closed between the trustees of the college and J. H. Lowe and Mrs. C. M. Lowe, executor and executrix of the Lowe estate. Claud Estes acted as attorney for the purchasers. The land purchased is bounded on the east by the Clinton road; on the northwest by the line of Mrs. Lang and Mrs. Carson; on the north by the lands of Mrs. Minnie Walker, Katie Phelps and the river road; and on the west by the river road. DISCRIMINATION-IS BEING SHOWN. HOWLS JOHNSON Chicago.—"I guess that's discrimination for you," said Jack Johnson, world's heavyweight champion, in discussing the statement of Commissioner O'Nell that Johnson would not be allowed to box in New York. "As an American citizen," he continued, "I would like to know if I have not the same right to box in New York as any one else. They allow boxers to go in the ring there who are not even American citizens. They allow Langford to box there. Then why do they stop me? "I am not over-anxious about boxing in New York, and I would not, unless I had a western referee. I will be down there in a short time, and will make it a special point to call on Mr. O'Nell and ask some reasons for his actions." HIS MIND DID NOT WANDER. "No," said the disconsolate girl, "I am sure Algernon does not love me. His mind is not on me as it should be." "How do you know?" "I played bridge at the same table with him and he could remember what the trump was all the time." A KNOCKOUT. Wife (complainingly)—You're not like Mr. Knagg. They've been married twenty years, and Mrs. Knagg says her husband is so tender. Husband—Tender! Well, he ought to be, after being in hot water that long. DIVERSION AT THE FEAST.

Westbrook COR. 218T AND ARAPAHOE ST8 Night Phone Champa 578 Cash or Credit COLORADO Found a Friend in Lincoln HEN coming from the reunion banquet of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Ohio volunteer infantry, which took place at the Grant hotel, Louis P. Bentley of Ludlow, Ky., after hearing eulogies of the war heroes, and especially of Abraham Lincoln, remarked to Alexander Hill, Sr.: "You did not know that for some months I was once a member of Abraham Lincoln's family, did you?" "No, how did that happen?" asked Mr. Hill eagerly. Then in a burst of patriotic pride and confidence, Mr. Bentley told the story which he has always kept to himself and family from an undue sense of modesty, which explains why Miss Ida Tarbell did not find him in writing her book, "He Knew Lincoln." "It was in 1858," said Mr. Bentley, the other day, repeating his story, "and I was a boy of 18 who had learned the printing business and was staying in Decatur, Ill., then a town of about 3,000 inhabitants, and could not find work. I was boarding at the Ogelsby house, the only hotel in town, and had paid my last $5 for board and was feeling about as blue as any one can feel under those circumstances. Stephen A. Douglas, then the Democratic senator from Illinois, was a candidate for re-election and his opponent, a young lawyer named Lincoln from Springfield, and he were having a series of five addresses, which have since become so famous. Both parties were in the hotel at that time to hold a debate that night, and Douglas, the man of the hour, was upstairs in the hotel parlor with a bottle of whisky, a box of cigars and surrounded by admiring friends who came to call upon him. "There was great excitement in the town, and it centered in the hotel, but I was feeling too blue to care about it and sat in the office downstairs, not caring to speak to any one. A tall raw-boned man sat near me as much unnoticed as myself, all hunched up in his chair, whittling a little piece of wood. "Presently he began to ask me questions and I replied in the briefest of monosyllables. "Do you belong here?' he asked. "No,' I replied. "How long have you been here?' "About a year.' "What are you doing?' "Nothing.' "That is not a good thing for a young man of your age to do. Can you find work?' "No,' I replied, feeling very rebellious against fate. "What do you do when you are working? Have you a trade?" "Yes; I am a printer,' I answered, wishing this man would stop his questions. "Well, young man,' he said kindly, 'I have an interest in a newspaper in Springfield, and if you come back with me tomorrow I will see if the foreman of the printing room cannot give you a job. Will you come?" "I do not know, I will see,' I answered feeling more kindly toward this curious gentleman. "Don't you want a job?' he asked quickly. "Yes, I do,' I answered, but I did not tell him the reason for my not accepting his offer. I had no means to go to Springfield, sixty miles away. It was the first time that I was broke and I hated to own it. "He said nothing more, and that night after the debate, where there were as many as a half million people present in proportion to the size of In a Letter President Lincoln Said Good Government Must Come From Schools. Prof. Theodore W. Hunt, Princeton, '65, in recalling some stirring events through which his class went during the civil war, makes public a letter which Abraham Lincoln wrote in acceptance of the honorary degree of doctor of laws which the trustees conferred on him in 1864, the New York Press says. The letter follows: "Executive Mansion, Washington, Dec. 27, 1864.—To Dr. John Maclean—My Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the reception of your note of the 20th of September, conveying the announcement that the trustees of the College of New Jersey have conferred upon me the degree of doctor of laws. The assurance coneyed by this high compliment that the course of the government which I represent has received the approval of a body of gentlemen of such character and intelligence in this time of public trial is most gratifying to me. Tones of Insects. An investigator, given to the collection of curious data, has observed that there are at least three different tones emitted by insects; a low one during flight, a higher one when the wings are held in such manner that they do not vibrate, and a yet higher tone when the insect is held so that none of its limbs can be moved. This last it is pointed out, is the "voice proper" of the insect. In some cases it is produced by the stigmata of the thorax. ************************************************************ EORGE B. McCLELLAN was 34 years of age when he was given command of the Army of the Potomac after Bull Run had sent a frightened buddle of Union soldiers back to Washington. McClellan had fought and won battles in West Virginia, and the people in Washington, looking for a leader to replace the grave, superannuated, egotistical General Scott, selected McClellan. Two weeks after his arrival in Washington, in a letter to his wife, he said: "I receive letter after letter, have conversation after conversation, calling on me to save the nation, alluding to the presidency, dictatorship, etc. As I hope one day to be united with you forever in heaven, I have no such aspiration. I would cheerfully take the dictatorship and agree to lay down my life when the country is saved. I am not spoiled in my unexpected new position." On another occasion he remarked: "My relations with Mr. Lincoln were generally very pleasant and I seldom had trouble with him when we could meet face to face. The difficulty always arose behind my back. I believe that he liked me personally, and certainly he was always much influenced by me when we were together." There is no denying the fact that he gave the raw, undisciplined troops exactly the sort of setting-up exercises and battalion drill they needed. When the Army of the Potomac, which was his creature, came under the command of Grant, the war could have but one conclusion. There is justification for the statement of General Meade: "Had there been no McClellan there could have been no Grant, for the army made no essential improvement under any successors." McClellan repeatedly urged that the government should send him reinforcements for a decisive assault upon Richmond. "If I save this army now," he said in a dispatch to the secretary of war, "I tell you plainly that I owe no thanks to you or to any persons in Washington; you have done your best to sacrifice this army." Lincoln's answer of June 28 illustrates his sympathetic readiness to take the other man's point of view: "Save your army at all events. Will send reinforcements as fast as we can. . . I feel any misfortune to you and your army as keenly as you feel it yourself. . . " Lincoln wrote Hooker: "I have placed you at the head of the Army of the Potomac. Of course I have done this upon what appears to me sufficient reasons, and yet I think it best for you to know that there are some things in regard to which I am not quite satisfied with you. "I believe you to be a brave and skilful soldier, which, of course, I like. I also believe you do not mix politics with your profession, in which you are right. You have confidence in yourself, which is a valuable, if not indispensable, quality. You are ambitious, within reasonable bounds, does good rather than harm. But I think that during General Burnside's command of the army you have taken counsel of your ambition solely and thwarted him as much as you could, in which you did a great wrong to the country and to a most meritorious and honorable brother officer. I have the town, I came face to face with him again in the hotel office. "Well, young man,' he said, 'are you going with me?' "Then I confessed the reason why I could not. "I knew then that my friend was Abraham Lincoln, the young Republican candidate for senator, who had debated with Stephen A. Douglas. "It was near midnight and the steamboat was due to leave in a short time. "'You come with me, anyhow,' said Mr. Lincoln, 'and I will take care of you.' "I did not require much urging, and went to my room to collect my small belongings and joined his party. "We arrived in Springfield the next morning and Mr. Lincoln took me to his home, giving me the only vacant room in his house, and I ate breakfast with the family. After that he took me to his law office and had a talk with his partner, Mr. Herndon; then we went to the printing office of the Illinois State Register, the paper in which he had an interest, and we had a talk with the foreman. The latter, after asking me to write something, said he was sorry, he saw I knew the work, but there was no position that he could give me at present, promising me, however, the first chance of work. At that my spirits, which had risen, dropped down again to a still lower ebb, until my benefactor said: "Now, I am going to be away a great deal on this campaign and Mr. Herndon will be very busy, so how would you like to stay in the office and answer the questions of visitors for $4 a week?" That was before the day of stenographers. "I did not think there was so much money in the world, so I accepted the offer gladly and remained a resident of the Lincoln household for nine weeks. Mrs. Lincoln's aunt was going to make them a visit and that as I had the only vacant room in the house he would make arrangements for me to stay with a lady across the street, who had two young men boarding with her, if I did not care. I could not object and moved, and I suppose Mr. Lincoln paid my board all the time I was there as well as my salary, for I know I did not pay any. Then one day the foreman sent for me to work on a brief, and when it was finished, to my great delight, paid me full journeyman's wages. Altogether I remained in Springfield four months, going from there to St. Louis, where I went into a printing office; but I soon returned to Cincinnati and to Ludlow, where I have lived for nearly sixty years." Mr. Bentley never had an opportunity to renew his acquaintance with Abraham Lincoln, but never forgot the helping hand which he extended to the lonely, despondent boy that night in Decatur, which played such an important part in the history of the great president himself. Among the ingenious devices of the physician may be mentioned a watch, constructed on the "stop" principle, whereby the number of pulse beats per minute may be indicated. A push-button is pressed at the beginning of the count and again at the twentieth pulsation, when the number of beats per minute is shown on a dial without the necessity of calculation. Still another push on the button brings the counter back to the starting point. In the ordinary method of taking the pulse the observer is obliged to do two things at the same time—count the beats and keep his eye on his watch. With the pulse watch only one operation is necessary, the counting of the population up to 20, when the push button is pressed. Thoughtful men must feel that the fate of the civilization on this continent is involved in the issue of the contest. Among the most gratifying of the proofs of this conviction is the hearty devotion everywhere exhibited by our schools and colleges to the national cause. I am most thankful if my labors have seemed to conduce to the preservation of those institutions under which alone we can expect good government, and in its train sound learning and the progress of the liberal arts.

Interesting Letter Written by President Lincoln Declining to Reinforce Louisville. An important historical letter signed by Abraham Lincoln while he was president, and addressed to Gov. O P. Morton, was recently sold at auction in Philadelphia. It is said to be unpublished, and is Lincoln's refusal to reinforce Louisville, Ky., Gov. Morton having requested him to do so. The letter is dated Executive Mansion, Washington, Sept. 29, 1861. In it Lincoln says: "As to Kentucky you do not estimate that state as more important than I do, but I am compelled to watch all points. While I write this I am, if not in range, at least in hearing of cannon-shot, from an army of enemies more than a hundred thousand strong. I do not expect them to capture the city, but know they would, if I were to send the men and arms from here to defend Louisville, of which there is not a single armed soldier within forty miles, nor any force known to be Knighthood for Women. It is not at all well known that knighthood has constantly been conferred upon women Many English ladies received the accolade and many more were members of such knightly orders as the Garter and St. John When Mary Cholmondeley "the bold indy of Cheshire," was knighted by Elizabeth for "her vaultant address" on the queen taking the command at the threatened invasion by Spain, did she know, that a whoitcity of Spanish women, the galian heard, in such a way as to believe it, of your saying that both the country and the army needed a dictator. Of course it was not for this, but in spite of it, that I have given you the command. Only those generals who gain success can set themselves up as dictators. What I ask of you is military success, and I will risk the dictatorship. The government will support you to the utmost of its ability, which is neither more nor less than it has done and will do for all its commanders. "I much fear that the spirit which you have aided to infuse into the army of criticising their commander and withholding confidence from him will now turn upon you, and I shall assist you as far as I can to put it down. Neither you nor Napoleon, if he were alive again, could get any good out of an army while such a spirit prevails in it. "And now, beware of rashness, but with energy and sleepless vigilance go forward and give us victories. "Yours very truly, "A. LINCOLN." The disastrous defeat of Chancellorsville was due to Hooker's failure to use all his men, an error of judgment against which Lincoln had warned him. When Hooker wanted to attack the Confederate rear at Fredericksburg, Lincoln dissuaded him in a graphic simile: "In one word, I would not take any risk of being entangled upon the river, like an ox jumped half over a fence and liable to be torn by dogs front and rear without a fair chance to gore one way or kick the other." And he likewise vetored the plan of advancing on Richmond at this juncture, reminding Hooker that "Lee's army, and not Richmond, is your true objective point. . . . Fight him, too, when opportunity offers. If he stays where he is, fret him and fret him." Lincoln, by a kind of intuition, divined the right thing to do. He had no real military experience. When he was made captain of the Sangamon county company in the Black Hawk war, he did not know how to get his men (marching 20 abreast) through a gate, and he shouted: "This company is dismissed for two minutes, when it will fall in again on the other side of the gate." When a member of the house of representatives, Mr. Lincoln thus described his military career in deprecating the efforts of General Cass's friends to make it appear that the latter was a great military hero. "By the way, Mr. Speaker, do you know I am a military hero? Yes, sir, in the days of the Black Hawk war I fought, bled and came away. Speaking of General Cass's career reminds me of my own. I was not at Stillman's defeat, but I was about as near to it as Cass to Hull's surrender; and, like him, I saw the place very soon afterward. It is quite certain I did not break, but I bent my musket pretty break, but I bent my musket pretty badly on one occasion. . . . If General Cass went in advance of me picking whortleberries, I guess I surpassed him in charging upon the wild onion. If he saw any live, fighting Indians, it was more than I did, but I had a good many bloody struggles with the mosquitoes, and, although I never fainted from loss of blood, I can truly say that I was often very hungry." Despite this slight experience, which he thus humorously burlesqued, of war's alarms, Lincoln had the solutions of a master strategist for problems which confounded the West Point men and the students of military science.

"It is true the army in our from-may make a half circle around south-ward, and move on Louisville, but when they do we will make a half circle around northward, and meet them. "I hope Zolli Koffer has left Cumberland Gap (through I fear he has not) because if he has, I rather infer he did it because of his dread of Camp Dick Robinson, reinforced from Cincinnati, moving on him, than because of his intention to move on Louisville. But if he does go around and reinforce Buckner, let Dick Robinson come around and reinforce Sherman, and the thing is substantially as it was when Zolli Koffer left Cumberland Gap. I state this as an illustration, for in fact I think, if the Gap is left open to us Dick Robinson should take it, and hold it, while Indiana and the vicinity of Louisville in Kentucky can reinforce Sherman faster than Zolli Koffer can Buckner.

Since the demand comes with a great rush about Easter, thousands of hats must be in readiness for it, therefore, directly after the holidays things get very busy in the world of millinery. Those designs which have found favor with the wholesaler are placed in work rooms to be copied and to help inspire new designs. Children's millinery is not so subject to the caprices of fashion as that for grown women. Soft and pretty bonnet shapes are always worn, therefore the manufacturer takes fewer risks in beginning to make them early. It is by little novel touches. Unpleasant Temperament That Is Certain in the End to Destroy Friendship and Love. Jealousy spoils pleasures and destroys friendships, therefore it is most necessary to overcome a jealous temperament. One frequently hears how to overcome sensitiveness, but how to fight against jealousy is seldom told us. It can manifest itself in numerous ugly ways and it is not an easy thing to fight. Who has not felt its painful prodding? But one must remember that neither friendship nor love can stand jealousy's eternal friction, so the sooner one eliminates it from one's character the more certain one is of keeping both love and friendship. Take what is yours and do not worry over what is given some one else. If there is to be any comfort in social life or in the life of those who must work, every tinge of jealousy must be crushed out. The personal element must be done away with at all times and we must all learn to make ourselves as efficient as possible in our various walks in life. To live for and think of others is always a help; and added to this we must forget ourselves except in our efforts to improve our minds and our lives. UTILIZING ODD BITS OF LACE Beautiful Table Cover May Be Evolved From Scraps That Otherwise Would Be Thrown Away. A lovely, if somewhat costly, table cover recently seen in one of the shops suggested one of the numerous ingenious ways now in vogue of employing satisfactorily any scrap of lace or needlework one happens to have in the house. This table cover or tea cloth, about sixty inches square, in ecru linen, was cut out round the edges into four blunt corners, divided by four vandykes. Between each peak was inserted, point upward, a three-cornered specimen of filet lace, while larger ones, peak downward, were sewn along the base of the blunt corners. A lace insertion framed the center, filled at the corners with a motif of broderie angialse, crossed with bars and connected with powderings of the open work. Each of the four sides of the frame was tipped with a diamond medallion in filet lace, and round the outside edges of the linen square was a white linen fringe with spaced tassels. Spanish Lace Revived. With the return to favor of the many old-time materials, such as broche velvets and golden woven tissues, there is the return to favor of Spanish lace. Many afternoon and evening toilettes, now being designed for the Casino on the Cote d'Azur, are showing graceful trimmings of heavily designed silk Spanish lace. Many Dalmatiques and clerical stoles are composed of the most beautiful lace. These long stoles fall in straight panel fashion down the front and back of the most gracefully draped robes. Colored Han-Jkershief The latest method of introducing a bright note of color is to be found in the handkerchief of the moment. A little square of lawn, with a border in some bright tint, is tucked into the fastening of the tailormade. Great care is necessary, however, to strike the correct note. The little accessory must match some part of the toilette. If the hat is trimmed with one of the new shaded dahlias in fuchsia tints, the handkerchief will be ornamented with French knots in the two shades. The shades of a green plume would be repeated tone for tone. rather than by departures from types with which we are familiar, that the first hats depend upon, to make them salable. Two little bonnets are shown here which cannot fail to please. One is made of a soft plaque of hair braid in light pink. A fine wire frame supports it and it is lined about the brim with Val. lace. The edge is finished with side-plaited ruffles of lace. A collar of pink ribbon and a fascinating little bunch of rose buds make up the simple but effective trimming. A bonnet of light blue satin straw is faced with shirred chiffon. It is trimmed with a wide, soft messageal ribbon placed in a ruffle about the crown and a bunch of light blue forget-me-not ties of ribbon finish it. Monk's Cloth Appliqued With Linen Figures Is One of the Best Forms Yet Devised. The woman who is interested in needlework as employment for the long winter evenings will enjoy making a table cover or scarf of monk's cloth appliqued with linen figures. Cut the cloth the size you desire of a very dark green shade and baste in a two-inch hem all around for a square cover—and at each end on a scarf—then cut out fancy figures from natural colored linen, using either flowers simple in design, leaves like the clover and oak, hearts, circles or small triangles. Baste these on the cloth just above the hem and sew them fast by button-holing around with rope floss in a burnt-orange shade. One clever girl made a table scarf, cushion cover and window curtain to correspond for her room at college of monk's cloth appliqued with figures representing books, dumbbells, Indian clubs and various things associated with college life. One advantage of the work is that it is quickly done and when finished is very attractive. NEAT STREET SUIT - Plain street suit of plum colored ratine with loose sacque coat and turnover collar of black velvet. The witch's cap is of white ratine to match the white fur. Velvet Suits. The prettiest of the velvet suits are simply built, for this fabric is so rich in itself that it is a pity to break the lovely lines it forms by too much trimming, says the Indianapolis News. Velvet coats are rather loose and are cut in tunic style, to avoid marring seams. Much handsome brald is used on the coats, and the braid trimming, in band motifs and crochet buttons, is repeated on the skirts. Fairy Jewelry. They are lacy and supple in effect. Jewels need not be wholly expensive. Some semi-precious ones are lovely set this way. It's the thin dainty silver or platinum setting which does the work. How to Overcome Some of the Little Difficulties That Beet the Busy Housewife. Have you ever had a delicious dinner ruined by warm salad? If you have, you were doubtless enraged and blamed the cook. She probably told you that the salad just came from the refrigerator, and if she is truthful she left you without argument. Refrigerating is about the only method of keeping saalids, cold that most women know. They think if the ingredients are put in a dish on the ice everything has been done. Here is how one woman, noted for her delicious salads, keeps them icy cold. The fruit, meat or other ingredients are made ready early in the morning of the day they are to be used, then wrapped in an old napkin or clean muslin and laid flat on the ice; there they stay until the last possible minute for mixing. When ready for use they are taken out and mixed by layers with the mayonnaise in a bowl that is chilled by standing in a larger bowl of ice. The mayonnaise is kept in the refrigerator until needed, and the lettuce is washed as soon as bought, then dried and wrapped in a cloth and put flat on the ice until used. ALL AROUND the HOUSE If you get too much salt into your tomato soup, add a bit of brown sugar. It seems to make salty soup taste all right. But better still is to add a few slices of raw potato. To mend linen tablecloths remove the presser-foot from your machine. Insert the place to be darned under it and stitch back and forth. It is much quicker and neater than when done by hand. Probably everybody knows that boiled ham and corned beef have a nicer flavor if left to cool in the liquor in which they are cooked, but a lot of people don't follow the practice, possible because they dislike the large greasy kettle to wash late in the day. To take the smell of fish from hands, wash them in water which contains a few drops of ammonia. To take the odor of onions from dishes, after washing them, put them on the stove a few seconds to be heated thoroughly. When cool again the odor will be gone. Kerosene or gasoline applied with a cloth will remove all grease marks from porcelain basins and bath tubs. Rinse well with hot water. To assist in bleaching ivory after it has been washed, expose it to the sun. When a disagreeable odor penetrates the house overcome it by sprinkling dried lemon peels on the fire. Coal oil will soften the old paint brushes used last year. Place them in a can of the oil and wash them well in warm soap suds. Good Dressing. One and a half loaves bread cut fine; season with one tablespoon sage, half a teaspoon thyme, half a teaspoon black pepper. Brown two large onions in butter. Mix all together. Boil gizzard, liver and heart until tender. Have about a pint of water from that to pour over bread crumbs to soften. Last put one can of good mushrooms with it; also one cup or ground celery. The onions have to be browned. Chop gizzard, liver and heart in chopping bowl and mix it in. Also this can be used for turkey or chicken. For duck or goose I use a little more onion. The celery can be cut fine and cooked with the liver, if one prefers it real soft. Garlic should never be used for turkey or chicken. Mutton Stew Trim the fat from three pounds of mutton, and chop in small pieces as usual for stewing. Salt and pepper and place in bag with four chopped, peeled onions and an equal quantity of thinly sliced potatoes. Add a sprinkling of kitchen herbs and a cup and a half of cold water. Cook in a hot oven 45 minutes. The onions may be omitted and curry used instead, or cold boiled rice and tomatoes may take the place of the potatoes and onions, but the principle remains the same. Chill. Take three-fourths cup of good suet, two cups tender beef (raw), one-half small onion, twelve dried red peppers (with seeds emptied out), small carrot and small potato and put it all through the food chopper. Then add heaping teaspoon flour, one-half teaspoon red pepper and salt to taste. Now strain into this a can of tomatoes and add three pints of water. Let it simmer two or three hours. Makes a complete meal. Is especially good in real cold weather. Cold Slaw. Cut crisp heads of cabbage fine with a sharp knife. Sprinkle it sparingly with salt, then dress with vinegar that has been modified with water and slightly sweetened with granulated sugar. Lastly, add cream whipped to a stiff froth and toss lightly. Apple Custard Ple. Six apples, grated; three eggs, beaten separately; one cupful cream and enough milk to thin about like pumpkin pie. Sweeten to taste, flavor with lemon. Bake in open crust. A. M.
