PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEW PRI- MARY LAW Primaries to be held September 10, under the New Law, to give voters chance of a direct voice in the nomination of the Candidates of their party for the various State and County offices and the election of United States Senators. The principal object of the direct primary is to give the voters chance of a direct voice in the nomination of the candidates of their party and the election of United States senators. The new primary law provides for two elections and a party convention to be known hereafter as a party assembly. The regular general election in November, at which the candidates for President and state offices are voted on, will be conducted in practically the same manner as heretofore. The only difference will be that the candidates for the United States Senate selected at the primaries will be printed on the ballot and the voter may vote for them. The senatorial candidates receiving the highest number of votes at the general election are not thereby elected, because the people will not have the right to elect United States senators directly until the constitution of the United States shall have been changed. But the people by their votes will express their choice for senators. The Legislature may or may not vote for the choice of the people, but before hand every candidate for the Legislature will be asked to sign a pledge indicating whether he will vote for the popular choice or use his own judgment. The party assemblies are made up of delegates selected just as delegates have been elected heretofore to party conventions. The only power given to an assembly is to receive nominations. The assembly can take only one ballot on each office, and every nominee who receives 10 per cent or more of the votes of the assembly will have the right to appear as a candidate at the primaries. A candidate who failed to receive 10 per cent of the votes in the the assembly or any other person who desires to be a candidate at the primaries may do so by petition in practically the same manner as independent candidates for office now secure a place on a ballot. The candidates selected in the assembly and those nominated by petition will be printed on the primary ballot and then it will be up to the voter to sift from that number the men and women whom he thinks should be the party candidates at the regular election. The primary elections are held under the direction of the state the same as regular elections. The same rules of registration, qualification and challenge apply and the same judges and clerks conduct both. No party will be considered at a primary election unless at a previous general election it received at least 10 per cent of the votes cast. This eliminates at the coming primaries all parties except the Democratic and Republican and all voters except Democrats and Republicans. The voter upon entering the primary election polling place is given two ballots, one containing all the Republican candidates and another containing all the Democratic candidates. He retires to a booth and indicates on his party ticket the persons whom he wants to receive the nomination. He can select candidates on only one ticket. If he makes marks on both tickets, he loses his vote. When the ballots have been counted the candidates of each party receiving the highest number of votes become the candidates of their party at the general election. The platform is adopted after the convention when the candidates of each party for state offices and the Legislature, the hold-over senators and the party chairmen meet in an assembly and make their pledges. The county ticket is selected in the same manner as the state ticket by county assembly and petition. The voters at the primary election vote for the complete ticket, from United States senator to constable. The voters at the primary also select their party precinct committeemen. The precinct committeemen collectively constitute the county central committee, which elects its chairman and vice chairman. The county chairmen and vice chairmen constitute the state committee, which selects the state chairman. The county chairmen and vice chairmen also constitute the district committee of their congressional district and elect their chairman. VOL. XVIII.

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug 1.—The first colored farmers' conference ever held in Pennsylvania will convene at the Downingtown School, Downingtown, August 14, when a permanent organization will be effected and vital subjects relating to farming will be discussed. Downingtown is located in the center of the colored farming population. About six hundred farms are operated yb Negroes in the state. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Biotech State House CHANTS WH ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO PULLMAN PORTERS ARE NOT BEING CONSIDERED Washington, D.C., July 31. Pullman porters are not being considered in the bill pending in Congress to provide a remedy and compensation for accident injuries, resulting in disability or death to employees of railroads and common carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. An effort is being made to strengthen some of the weak points in what is known as the Employers' Liability and Workmen's Compensation Act, with a view to protecting workingmen in the matter of compensation. Unless the Pullman porters get together immediately and concentrated action is taken toward including them in the compensation act amendments will be made which will prove advantageous to all but those in the Pullman service. Attorney W. L. Houston, with offices in the Dietz Building, 7th and F streets, this city, has received several letters from Pullman porters about the bill, but to date no organized effort has been made by them to having the material defect remedied. When questioned by an Age representative how he accounted for the failure to include Pullman porters in the provision of the bill, Mr. Houston stated that conditions are doubtless due to the lack of interest manifested by the porters themselves in legislation which directly concerns them. "All branches or organized labor keep constantly on guard in Washington, representatives who watch for legislation affecting their interest," declared Mr. Houston. Eternal vigilance is the price of protection, as well as liberty. Conductors, engineers, switchmen, printers, telegraphers and other bodies of artisans employ representatives to remain in the Capital City and prevent any hostile legislation, as well as promote, as far as they can, the passage of acts which would favorably affect their interests. In this way they guarantee to themselves protection under the laws passed by Congress. "If the porters in the Pullman service would follow the example set by others in this respect," continued Mr. Houston, "they could secure for themselves and families in this instance the protection they should have, and which other railroad companies are procuring in the draft of the proposed statute." Counselor Houston's attention was called to the matter by Frederick D. McCracken of St. Paul, who is using his personal influence with members of both branches of Congress to the end that some provisions might be made to include the large number of faithful colored employees in the Pullman service. THE NEGRO AND THE POLITICAL SITUATION Never before since the ballot has been placed into the hands of the Negro, has the political importance been more vital than now. To those who hold the reins of the Government, all must look for protection, as well as for state, national and international guidance. Upon the officials depends the welfare or downfall of the people. The Catholic people the world over have achieved more strength politically, through the agency of their church, than any other denomination extant. So important is this matter that all race loving men are making a study of it. The women and children of every race, are expecting their men to look out for them in every phase of life. In less than four months, the men of the United States will be called upon to elect an executive head for this Government. To say that much depends upon who the head should be, goes without saying. The people of the United States are divided into two great factions: the Republican and Democratic parties. There are other minor divisions, none of which as yet has grown to full fledged recognition nationally. In the composition of the great citizenship of these United States, are nearly ten million Negroes, with their teeming thousands of good women and millions of children, whose salvation depends upon the actions of the Negro men. Will the Negro men study the political situation, and act wisely? Heretofore the two great parties were united in the selection of President, as far as their party selection was concerned; but not so now. There are three distinct candidates for the Presidency, Messrs. Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt. It is true that the Negro votes will not count for much in some Southern States, yet there are other States, where the Negro votes terminate the results, as the white voters, are very nearly equally divided between the two parties. As a rule, each candidate with his party, outlines the policy to be pursued, in case of election. This policy is written in what is designated the "Platform." By reading the platforms carefully, the Negro can easily know whether or not a plank has been provided for his recognition, and if so, who heads the party that pledges to sustain such a plank. In the past there were two guarantees to both the Republican and Democratic parties in the national elections: The South to the Democats, and the Negro to the Republicans. The conditions now seem to demand that there be something like an understanding RACE NEWS Jack Johnson gave away $8,000 to the poor of Los Vegas, New Mexico. To one person, suffering with tuberculosis, he gave a runabout. Boston, Mass., July 30.—Booker Washington's book, "Up From Slavery," is being used in the regular course of study in the Boston Latin School. All students are required to read it. Washington, Aug. 3 - By an executive order of President Taft, Mingo Sanders, who was a sergeant of the colored infantry regiment discharged from the army without honor when several companies of the regiment likewise were discharged for participation in the Brownville riots, today be- before the election. The past conduct of both parties, so far as the Negro is concerned, would suggest that the Negro voters go slowly and measure well every step before taking decisive action. That candidate whose platform leaves the Negro out now, will have no pledges to regard when he is elected. When we advise that the Negro go slowly, we mean let his actions be after matured consideration; but be very activo in endeavors to become informed as to what is the better course politically. The Negro cannot afford to be salient in this critical crisis for him. All thinking American citizens are now reading and discussing the situation thoroughly in order to be able to reach wise conclusions. The Negro in the South needs to qualify himself, according to the statutory stipulations. There are thousands of Negroes in the South, who are in possession of every stipulated requirement except his poll tax receipt. In nearly every State, where the disfranchisement of the Negro exists, there are some clauses under which many could register and vote, who do not, if they would inform and qualify themselves. Men who are interested should seek to know their rights and then take legal steps to enjoy them. The Negroes in other States should also study the situation prayerfully, and those who live in what is designated "doubtful States," should feel more the responsibility that is upon them, and see to it that their votes be not so scattered as to destroy their power of casting the decisive vote in many cases, to say the least.—Southern Christian Recorder. NO 48 came a messenger in the classified service and went to work in the interior department at $70 a month. Major Arthur Brooks, for many years commanding the First Separate Battalion, National Guard of the District of Columbia, has been retired at his own request, with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He leaves the service with the respect and esteem of all with whom he has had official relations. Major Brooks is military instructor of cadets in the colored high schools of Washington and is custodian of property at the White House, under a $10,000 bond. Chicago, July 30.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, has announced that he had fought his last fight. "The promoters wont give me my price for fighting now, and if I wait a year I'll probably not be in condition to put up a fight worthy of a champion." Johnson has saved his money. He said that he was worth $200,000, the greater part of which is well invested. Virtually all of this has been made since he fought Tommy Burns in Australia, December 26, 1908. The Methodist Committee on Revision of Discipline of the African Methodist Episcopal Church met in St. Paul last Tuesday morn-Those present at the meeting were Bishop B. F. Lee, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Bishop J. M. Conner, of Little Rock, Ark, Dr J. S. Jenkins, of Texas; Dr W. D. Johnson of Georgia; Dr. J. I. Lane, of Philadelphia, and Bishop Evans Tyree of Nashville. The work of the Committee will require several days, as the revision of the discipline will be more thorough this year than heretofore. Many changes were made at the Conference in Kansas City, and a law was passed by the General Conference creating a special committee for the revision of the Discipline, and taking it out of the hands of the Bishop's Council. The object in making the change was that the laws might be made in full in the Discipline. And this Committee that is meeting in Nashville will be the one to make this revision. Bishop Tyree, resident Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, is Chairman of the Committee and issued the call for the meeting to be held here.—Nashville Globe.

San Francisco's municipal railroad is well on the way to completion. Denver, Los Angeles and Omaha won the prizes for mileage at the recent Portland Elks' grand lodge convention. Seeking to trace the troubles of sugar factory builders and promoters in Idaho to the machinations of the "sugar trust," the government has opened the Salt Lake end of the hearing. San Francisco is to have a hall of fame. The twenty native sons and daughters of California who have done most to reflect glory on their state are to be glorified in art glass and sculpture. While en route from Kansas City to Helena, Mont., Mrs. H. J. Mock of the first named city jumped through the window of the Pullman sleeping car in which she was traveling, and was instantly killed. The wheat harvest of Minnesota and the two Dakotas will break all records this year. The yield will be 265,000,000 bushels this year, as against 198,000,000 bushels in 1905, the highest previous mark ever attained. Information that Sidna Allen and Wesley Edwards, the Virginia outlaws, were believed to be in hiding in the vicinity of Seattle, caused the authorities to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding country for the men, but neither was found. Frank Holloway, who confessed in Chicago to robbing the Westminster, B. C., bank of $375,000; the Panama City bank of $85,000, and to the killing of seven men, escaped recently from the Texas penitentiary. The governor has offered a $2,000 reward for his re-capture. In the twenty-one years of the history of the National Irrigation Congress, there never has been another time when such wide-spread interest was manifested in the splendid work of that organization as is now shown in its twentieth session, which is to be held in Salt Lake City Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. That her pets may not be annoyed on their journey to New York, Mrs. Malcolm Whitman of San Francisco, the former Miss Jennie A. Crocker, has engaged a special car for a score of high-priced animals, including Sir Barney Blue, the champlon Boston terrier, and Haleyon Alexandre, the world's famous French bull. The United States has become a half billion ton coal country. During the last two years the total production has averaged just a trifle short of the 500,000,000 mark, exceeding that figure in 1910 and almost reaching it in 1911. It is considered probable that in the future it will be a bad year whose production falls far short of this quantity. The figures of production have been compiled by Edward W. Parker, the government coal statistician in Washington. SPORT. WESTERN LEAGUE STANDING. CLUBS. Won. Lost. Pct.

Both are in active training. Baseball is in a fair way to displace cock fighting and sports of a similar nature in the Philippines according to William Pierce Gorsuch, instructor in the department of Chicago, who returned recently from the islands, where he lectured before the teachers' assembly of Bagulo. Miss Margaret Lawler, eighteen years old, won the 150-mile endurance contest of the Kenosha, Wis., Motorcycle Club. Although the only woman entered, Miss Lawler carried off all the honors against a field of twenty-one men. Five men finished with perfect scores but their time was not as good as that made by Miss Lawler. Jim Flynn, who was defeated by Jack Johnson at Las Vegas, has drawn the color line, declaring he will not fight another negro. FOREIGN An imperial decree has been issued dissolving the Turkish parliament. The chamber passed a vote of want of confidence in the cabinet. Bombs exploded in the market place of Kotchana, fifty miles southwest of Uskup, European Turkey, killing or wounding fifty persons, according to a dispatch from Saloniki. WASHINGTON. Congress now plans to adjourn August 15. The trial of Judge Archbald of the United States Commerce Court on impeachment proceedings is set for December 3. A bill to create a Lincoln memorial highway from Boston to San Francisco has been filed in the House by Representative Taylor of Colorado. The bar of the Supreme Court of the United States has been asked to contribute $40,000 for the relief of the widow and daughters of the late Associate Justice John M. Harlan. President Taft has accepted the resignation of Federal Judge Hanford of Seattle, tendered while Judge Hanford's conduct on the bench was being investigated by a congressional committee. Representative Mondell of Wyoming introduced a bill to appropriate $200,000 for the United States to pay its share of the cost of exterminating the "predatory wild animals" on the forest reserves of the West. According to the figures in the "Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1911," more than 15,000,000 votes will be polled in 1912. With a population of 90,000,000 the total voting strength of the country is about 18,000,000. Investigation of the loss of life, injuries and damages sustained by American citizens in the Madero revolution in Mexico in 1911, would be ordered by a resolution submitted in the House by Representative Smith of Texas. A congressional "recall" of judges of the inferior courts of the United States is proposed in a constitutional amendment which Representative Hull of Tennessee, offered in the House, and which was referred to the judiciary committee. Efforts are being made to have the $1,000,000 unexpended balance of the money appropriated for the Mississippi flood sufferers diverted by Congress for use in relief of the American refugees now pouring into El Paso from Mexico. That President Taft will veto the wool bill as passed by the Senate or in any modified form as a result of the House action and conference on the measure as finally agreed to, is the assertion of those who assume to speak for him. Evidence of the growing anxiety of the administration, because of the revolutionary movement in Nicaragua, was shown when orders were given the gunboat Tacoma at Guantanamo, Cuba, to proceed forthwith for Bluefields, Nicaragua. The five judges of the Commerce Court would be retained in office as circuit judges, by an agreement reached by the House and Senate confeees on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. The Commerce Court would be abolished by the agreement and its work turned over to the District Courts. Further limitations curbing contributions to political campaigns were incorporated in a bill agreed on by the Senate committee on privileges and elections and reported to the Senate for passage. Predictions are made that it would be enacted into law at once. By the new bill all corporations are prohibited from contributing money or anything of value to the nomination or election of presidential electors, representatives in Congress or state legislators who elect senators GENERAL Chicago street car men favor a strike by an 8,939 to 171 vote unless their demands for higher wages are granted. The price of beef is soaring at the stockyards in Chicago. A three carload lot of heavy black steers sold for $10.10 a hundred. A report emanating from political sources is current that Police Commissioner Waldo of New York will resign inside of two weeks. After two meetings in New York, the Denver interests in the Moffat road and the committee appointed by the note holders there, failed to reach an agreement. That President E. P. Ripley, of the Santa Fé, is to resign and retire from the railroad world because of his advancing years, was denied at the executive offices of the Santa Fé in Chicago; Essia Carter, who is in the Macon, Ga., hospital as the result of a whipping inflicted upon her recently at Dawson by three men, is in a serious condition, and the attending physicians and relatives are alarmed. Railroad gross earnings of all United States roads making weekly reports for three weeks in July, make a favorable comparison with those of a year ago, the total aggregating $23,343,711, an increase of 3.4 per cent. A police fund of $50,000 is being raised for the defense of Charles Becker, the police lieutenant charged with instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, in New York, according to information in the hands of District Attorney Whitman. The New York police scandal may pass into the hands of the federal authorities. An unexpected turn in the Rosenthal case has linked the murder inquest with serious charges made by influential New England reformers that young girls have been lured to the great city from country places in Massachusetts and other states and victimized by New York cadets. in an effort to collect $4,236,000 back taxes, the state of Arkansas has instituted suit against 130 old line insurance companies doing business in that state.

Washington—Colorado's prosperity for 1912 will be shown not alone in the record-breaking yield of her lands and the $200,000,000 the farmers will receive for that yield, but in increased activity in almost every line of business, and especially increased output of factories. Colorado's factory output, as shown by the census bureau, was about $130,000,000 in 1909. Last year was not an exceptionally prosperous year for manufacturers in the state, and the output was perhaps no greater than for 1909. But it will be much greater this year, reaching $150,000,000.

Roosevelt and Johnson Nominated’ CHICAGO CONVENTION NAMES BOTH BY ACCLAMATION, AND DELEGATES SING “ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!” Negro Delegates Are Ousted FOR “LILY WHITE” DELEGATION FROM THE SOUTH.— RECORD CROWD PACKS CHICAGO COLISEUM. | Chieago.—Singing ‘‘Onward, Christian Soldiers,’’ and ‘‘The Battle Hymn of the Republic,’? the delegates to the first National Convention of the new Progressive patty Wednesday night pro- claimed Theodore Roosevelt of New York as their candidate for President, and Governor Hiram W.

Por severe] hours during the after- noon the throng in the Coliseum had listened to 2 flow of oratory in nomi- nating and seconding speeches, in which the domizant note expressed was the belief that victory would come to the new party in November. Raymond Robbins of Hlinois pledged 100,000 majority for the national ticket in Illinois, and Gifford Pinchot predicted a 300,000 majority for Col. Roosevelt end Goy, Johnson in his home state of Pennsylvania. These statements were cheered to the echo. The party formally christened itself “The Progressive Party,” leaving out the prefix “National,” by which it has heretofore been known, but provision was made for the recognition of “‘reai” Progressives in any of the states by whatever name they should be localiy designated because of state laws. ‘The convention adjourned with the delegates singing the “Doxology” in lusty voice, During the three days it was in session there was not a roll call nor a‘ballot. The delegates asked no such formalities, either in placing their candidates in nomination or in voting for them, ‘There was not 2 voice of opposition either to Col. Roosevelt or Gov. John- son.

As has always been the case in na- tional political conventions, the bulk of the work of the Progressive gath- ering was carried on in the commit: tees, Tho only semblance of a con- flict of opinion on the floor was a brief debate 2s to whether an hour's recess should be taken, The point was not material, but as one delegate expressed it, “we just had to fight about something to make a regular conyention,” ‘There was sharp discussion in sev- eral committee meetiags and no little difficulty in agreeing upon the plit- form as finally adopted. Colonel Roosevelt worked with the sub-committee in charge of the plat- form until late Wednesday afternoon, going over their work of the two pre- vious days and nights and vigorously helping to mould the draft which at last proved acceptable to him. The platform did not take up the negro question, Negroes Protest. They had issued a call for a Pro- gressive convention in Mississippi be- fore Fridge was chosen national com- mitteo man, At the instance of Sen- ater Dixon, they said, they withdrew this call, to allow Fridge to assume charge. But when they discovered that Makes “Confession of Faith.” Theedore Rosevelt made his “con- fession of faith” to the National Pro- gressive convention. The former pres- ident struck out bodily into new ground, advocating measures which he said frankly would be dencunced ‘as either socialism or anarchy. The delegates listened to his speech with the understanding that they must either adopt a platform substantially in consonance with his views or lool elsewhere for a nominee for the pres- idency. Fridge’s call was addressed only to “white” voters they called another convention and elected ten white men and ten negroes to cast Mississippi's vote in the Progressive convention. The negroes bitterly complained that the limiting of the Fridge con- vention to “white” citizans invalidat- ed that gathering. They declared that the seating of the Fridge delegates would mean a “lily white” Progressive party in the South. After a long debate Committeeman Richard W. Child of Massachusetts Proposed seating the Fridge delegates but disapproving the Fridge plan ot calling a “white” convention. At the end of an hour many of the committee had quit the room. A vote was taken. It was so close that half P se % Eee e i”, 7 py Gov.

The vote was disregarded and another vote was taken. This time by a vote of 17 to 16 the following resolution was adopt- ed. “Resolved, that we regard the Fridge delegates as entitled to seats in this convention, but disapprove of that part of the call containing the word ‘white.’ We approve the posi tion taken in the letter written to Ju- lian Harris of Georgia, by Theodore Roosevelt.” The colonel said he hoped conditions miglit so improve in the South that at future Progressive conventions those states might send as delegates ne- groes who would have the character and standing of the negro delegates from West Virginia, who, he asserted, were in those respects the equal of their white associates. ‘The report of the credentials com- mittee, unanimously adopted, con- tained a resolution recognizing the “constitutional and inherent right of each and every state to determine the qualifications and manner of election of its delegates to national conyen- tions.” This resolution was regarded as giy- ing the Southern states the right to choose delegates as they pleased. tt also was interpreted as not imposing the direct primary system upon any of the states, Tho Colorado delegation appeared with a blue banner reading “Colorado is for Roseveit.” Ousted Negroes for Taft or Wilson. ‘The board of directors of the Na tional Progressive League of Negroes will meet soon to decide whether it will throw the support of the organi. zation, which is composed of 50,000 colored business men, to Taft or Wil- son.

Although the body had practically denied its own worth the evening before by passing a reso- lution favoring the abolition of assem- blies, the county delegations were anxious to get any prestige for their candidates that might attach to assem- bly nominations.

Pueblo.—The issue placed before the Democratic state assembly at Pueblo by both speakers and candidates was the repudiation of corporate influence. It arose in connection with the seat- ing of the regular Donver delegation over the protest of the Arnold-Pattor- son faction and was perpetuated as an icsue in the primaries by the with- drawal of Thomas Tynan, warden of the state penitentiary, from the race for the assembly nomination for gov- ernor on the ground that the body had contravened national progressive prin- ciples. All day tho question was imprecsod upon the gathering until, at nearly 6 o'clock, a row came when the reg ular Denver machine delegation was seated by a sweeping vote. Again the subject was foremost at night with Tynan’s actions and as a result, at a quarter of an hour after midnight the body had not finished its business, and was forced to adjourn until morning. o'Donnell’s name was not placed be- fore the assembly, but in the evening he mduced the body to take an action which many believe to be a repudia- tion of its stand during the day. He presented a resolution binding all candidates nominated by the as- sembly to vote for an amendment of its primary law, which would do away with the assembly feature. This was passed, and it is felt by many to be acquiescence by the body itself to the charge that the assembly action does not represent party sentiment. } Battleship Caucus Fails.

The present party Colorado Statesman is a voice of Long before the proposed third party engineered by the aggressive Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, met at Chicago, Monday, August 5th, it had been predicted, by men who had noted the signs of the times, that it would be dominated by Southern sentiment and result in being a Lily White party pure and simple and that the Blacks and Tans would not be honored by even a voice in its deliberations. The Colorado Statesman long ago took a horoscope of the political situation, and came to the conclusion that the third party movement was born in a spirit of revenge, and it will and should meet with a disastrous defeat. The Bull Moose party of Progressives seem to be progressing backward, as far as the Negroes' interests are concerned. Some of our people appear to be surprised at the attitude that Colonel Roosevelt has taken. The Colorado Statesman is not. Why should consideration in the deliberations of a convention be given to, it might be said, to self-styled delegates who have not a vote in their respective states? And even though they have a vote, such vote is not counted. For many years there has existed a number of self-appointed leaders of the race, who have attended both Republican and Democratic presidential conventions, clamoring for rights that they were not entitled to, accepting of bribes, showing themselves to be grafters pure and simple. This class of men is a disgrace to the race and should be relegated to the rear. These men were in attendance at the Bull Moose Lily White party, and got their just deserts. The Colorado Statesman voices the sentiments of the leading colored citizens of Colorado when it says that we are satisfied with the Republican ticket, led by President Taft, who has made good, and is worthy of our support. We do not believe in following false gods. The present party is good enough for us. Sink or swim, The Colorado Statesman is a voice of Republican sentiments at all times! MANNERS General sense, is not supposed to being presumed that social tastes applies to ordinary social interests that have been passed upon which are often the source of hard porters in the dining car and used with being "impudent" and But we consider it best to ad Department, in a general sense, is not supposed to be a subject requiring editorial advice, it being presumed that social taste creates and inculcates good manners which applies to ordinary social intercourse, but we have in mind certain criticisms that have been passed upon the Negro in certain capacities or callings which are often the source of his living. The criticism of Colored waiters and porters in the dining car and Pullman services, in which they are charged with being "impudent" and "insolent," especially when disappointed. But we consider it best to admit that in numerous instances the rearing of the young Negro does not tend to make him an adept in good manners, such as every ordinary person who earns his living by direct contact with others, and especially as persons in service, ought to be. There was a time when there were no more polite, courteous and good mannered servants in the world than the American Negro, but we doubt that the boast can be safely made to-day. Waiting and serving are voluntary vocations, now everywhere and entirely honorable. If persons are engaged in these callings, they owe it to themselves to fulfill every requirement of their work, never failing politeness and good manners being not the least. Many Colored men recognize the necessity for such an acquirement, but all of them do not. Too many Negro servants are surly, ill-mannered and disagreeable. Such are responsible for the criticisms referred to above. The fault is generally in their raising. Many parents set bad examples before their children and utterly neglect or forget to impress upon them the value of good manners in every walk of life. Some of our parents are scrupulously zealous in forcing children to follow certain rules or mannerisms, but the real principle of good manners is often spoiled even in these same homes. Children do what they see or hear their parents do, rather than what the parents tell them to do. So we often hear Colored children (and some whites) yelling at other children when demanding a service or when seeking to correct them. This is a sure sign of ill-breeding and inbred insolence. Such children grow up with some knowledge of, but very little respect for real good manners. Their manners lack culture and refinement. They exist only in theory and are practiced with a special motive. The house servant is often thus afflicted. They possess mistaken ideas of pride and often expect their employers to be more courteous to them than they are to the employers. These errors often lead to dissatisfaction and sometimes to disgust on the part of those who furnish the employment. Then comes criticism and discharge. Then white waiters and servants find openings. Real good manners are a recommendation to any person and ought to be a servant's stock in trade. While we serve we should serve well. Inbred politeness does not leave a person, as a rule. No servant should be first to lose his temper. If he has been properly raised he will not do so, and employés of all classes are reaching the point where they will be compelled to meet the competition of the whites seeking their places. It will not do to meet the situation with surly defiance. Good manners, inborn, and well practiced, will do more than anything else to win the fight. In so far as our cause is just, we should not be afraid to speak When we are maligned, we should talk back. But to prove our efficiency beyond a doubt, we must not forget or overlook the value of politeness and good manners under all circumstances. By MRS. M. K. ALLEN, Uktah, Cal.

We would never, never do such a thing. We would never let our children be bowlegged, pale faced little creatures and us animated fashion plates! Alas for our delusions! Five years passed and Jennie was old enough to enter Sunday school. We got her a new cloak, hat and shoes and one dress for "best." She loved her Sunday school teacher and Sunday was Jennie's one day of all. She attended regularly for six weeks. Then our air castles fell. She came home one day crying as if her heart were broken. After much coaxing we got from her "that a girl at Sunday school had said we must be very, very poor, for she had worn the same dress to Sunday school for six weeks." This remark was made by a girl of ten years, who wore a silk dress and a diamond ring and other equally foolish and extravagant accessories. Of course, we knew this child of 10 had never thought that out. Some one in her home had made a remark like that and the child had passed the idea only saw her own humiliation and no amount of coaxing would induce her to go back to Sunday school. Fortunately we moved from the city and she has forgotten it. She goes to Sunday school now and dresses better than we can afford to dress at the expense of our table.

It was difficult problem, but we think it has had. Why whip the children when there is another method? And never threaten the children. To do so places one under an unpleasant obligation. When the child does something that he should not, simply say to him in a kind way, "Do not do that." Then, provided the offense is committed again, you are at liberty to make a choice of punishments as you choose. One of the finest methods is, after the deed, to ask: "Did not I tell you not to do that?" After a while the child will ask you for a favor and you can then refuse him by saying that he cannot have it be- him not to do.

The national guard is an organization founded for the purpose of protecting state and city property and to quell riots which are too great to be handled by the civil authorities. It is also a reserve force of the army, each man being called upon to do nine months' service. Many persons form the belief that the national guard is used only to fight strikers and to protect "scabs." I can honestly say that it is founded for no such ideas. The national guard offers a young man many club features, such as athletic meets, indoor baseball, basket ball, dancing, vaude- olutely without expense to members, as amare furnished by the state. hed by the state and a member is entirely Moderation in all things, advised St. Paul.

He Is a Man of Good Habits and Impulses, Has Considerable Money Saved, and Could Have Been Free Long Ago. Stillwater, Minn.—The man whom Dickens wrote about when he visited America, who refused to leave prison, has a counterpart in the Minnesota state prison. Frank Johnson, a "lifer" in the penitentiary here, declines all proffers of freedom thrust upon him; has declined them for ten years. "I will not go from here; I intend to die in prison," he said when offered a discharge. Johnson is 64 years old; has served longer than any other "lifer" now in the prison, his term having begun before the sentences of the famous Younger brothers. He has been indifferent and contented while other lifers clamored for release. The law passed in the interest of the Younger brothers, which made thirty-five years the limit for a life prisoner, brought no consolation to Johnson. Johnson came from Sweden and worked in a brick yard in Minneapolis. Thirty-six years ago, while drinking, he shot to death one of his close friends, and for that crime was sentenced on March 11, 1876, for murder in the second degree to life imprisonment, having pleaded guilty. The prison record does not reveal the name of the man he killed. Johnson has been a model prisoner ever since he entered the prison's doors, and he is in the trusty class. He is not required to do heavy work, but now assists about the engine house as a wiper. His intellect has declined under long incarceration. That the prisoner is a man of good impulses and probably the victim of mere circumstance is the belief of the prison authorities. Warden Wolfer says that years ago Johnson loaned to a friend funds to send for the friend's sweetheart in the old country. The young woman came, and was married to the friend located on a homestead near Graceville, Minn. She and her husband have prospered and are now possessed of considerable property. Under the law passed in the interest of the Younger brothers a few years ago, thirty-five years was made the minimum sentence for a life-term person. Under that law a person serving twenty-three years, seven months and eighteen days, with good time allowance, may be paroled, upon the action of the state board of parole with the unanimous consent of the state board of pardons. Johnson has persistently objected to any movement for his release. Johnson has more than $1,228 to his credit in the state treasury, earnings for overtime, and the money is accumulating. He has refused the offer of a bosom friend near Graceville to make his home with him and rest the remainder of his days, an offer made from gratitude. SEA LION SUPPLANTS DOG Monster of the Deep Installa Himself at Gateway of a California Mansion. Hillsboro, Cal.—A weird story to the effect that a real live sea lion had found its way from the ocean beach to Uplands, the Hillsboro home of Charles Templeton Crocker, has been going the rounds in San Mateo county. Up till a few nights ago the report was received with considerable skepticism, albeit many motorists are said to have steered clear of the Crocker gateway, at which the new "watchdog" was supposed to have installed himself. The monster of the deep may have departed for regions where there is more congenial society than that of Hillsboro millionaires, but that he was there in spirit and in truth, even if more in spirit than in truth, is no longer doubted. What greater confirmation of the report is needed than that he was alleged to have been seen by members of a jovial stag party returning in the cold, gray dawn from a midnight revel at a polo club? As a rule poloists do not run to sea lions, but they are a pleasing variation of visions of pink crocodiles and blue lizards. Twice Dislocates Neck Camden, N. J.—Turning his head to dodge a falling timber at the New York shipyards in Camden the other day, Hugh Washburn, forty-nine years old, dislocated his neck for the second time within two years. He was taken to Cooper hospital suffering terrible agony, where it was stated that he would recover. Washburn was injured in a like manner while working in a Baltimore shipyard two years ago. Jumps In River: Wins Bet Leavenworth, Kan.—John Filling jumped off the Terminal bridge the other day and was drowned in the flooded Missouri river. Filling, while in the business district, is said to have bet several friends that he was "game" to jump into the river. The bet was taken. After reaching the bridge he hesitated for a moment, then mounted to the rail and jumped. Cupid In Court. Chicago.—The trial of Charles St. Glich on a charge of larceny as ballee was suddenly terminated when St. Glich proposed matrimony in court to the presecuting witness. She dismissed the case. REMAINS OF A BIG INDIAN FOUND IN CALIFORNIA. Seven Feet Four Inches Was the Height of Member of Extinct Race Whose Bones Were Dug Up. San Francisco, Cal.-Up to about 300 years ago a giant race of Indians inhabited the coast region of California. Remains of these have been discovered in the islands of the Santa Barbara channel. To William Altmann, assistant curator of the Golden Gate Park Memorial museum, belongs the honr of discovering one of the tallest and best preserved skeletons of this extinct tribe. Altmann utilized his vacation in excavating an old Indian burial mound in the nursery of Thomas S. Duane, two miles from Concord, in Contra Costa county. The giant skeleton was found ten feet from the surface, and around it were a large number of mortars and pestles, charm stones and obsidian arrow heads. The skeleton has not yet been mounted, but the bones were assembled on a table in the curator's office and placed on private exhibition. The bones are in good state of preservation, being hard and firm, although brown with age. Two or three of the vertebra are missing, and the skull is broken into three parts. The skeleton measures seven feet four inches. The tibia is seventeen inches in length. The skull is in great contrast with that of the Digger Indian of the present day, being of a much more intellectual type. The under jaw is square and massive, being remarkably thick and strong. Either the dead Indian was of great age or he subsisted on hard food, as shown by his molars, which are worn perfectly flat and close to the gums. The find is of the greatest importance to anthropologists the world over, confirming as it does, the theory advanced when the giant skeletons were unearthed in the Santa Barbara islands, that a superior race of Indians, physically and mentally, preceded the Digger and other native races of the present day. This is evidenced also in the pestles and charm stones found near the body. The former are ornamented with phallic carvings, whereas the pestles made by the former and present day Diggers, are not carved or ornamented in any way. The charm stones are of baked clay, a beginning in the art of pottery making, which are not found with Digger remains. This interesting find was made on the Salvador Pacheco ranch, part of which is occupied by Duane's nursery. It is Altmann's intention to make a further exploration of the mound at an early date for other relics of the bygone tribe. TAKES PAL'S PLACE IN JAIL Man Breaks Into Lockup and Frees Chum, but Lands In Latter's Cell. Altoona, Pa.—Breaking into the borough lockup at Tyrone, William Neugebauer liberated a comrade, William Davidson, but subsequently landed in the cell vacated by the latter. Davidson was arrested the other day for disorderly conduct on a train between Altoona and Tyrone, and was confined in the lockup to await a hearing. Neugebauer went to the lockup about midnight, picked the lock on the door and walked in, found the cell keys hanging on a peg, opened Davidson's cell, and the two departed a few hours later. "Hey, Billie! Let me out, too," cried another inmate, but the request was ignored, whereupon the unliberated one "peached" on Billie to Chief of Police Wands a few hours later. Neugebauer was arrested, and when arraigned before a magistrate made no defense, so he was held for court. Meantime his pal, Davidson, has gone away on a vacation. Kent Vow Sixty-Eight Years. St. Louis, Mo.—John M. Frey, eighty-nine years, old kept a vow 68 years, in which time he never crossed the Mississippi river, though he had lived continuously in St. Louis. Born in Switzerland and christened there Glovenie Frei he came to St. Louis at the age of twenty. The three months' trip in crossing the ocean so disgusted and terrified the young Swiss-Italian that he vowed on reaching St. Louis he never again would trust his body over water. Ferries at St. Louis were succeeded by bridges, but the vow was kept, and he did not cross the river. New York.Philip Walsh, fourteen, of Boston, who came here to make his fortune, became homesick in two days. He told City Hall Park Policeman Campbell that New York beans were not fit to eat.

For Sale at Scholtz Drug Stores, Tot man's and Elite Drug Stores. TESTIMONIALS: Gentlemen; I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds, I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. in the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My appetite is good and my weight is 140 pounds and not a trace of the old trouble remains. I have taken six bottles of the Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. If you want to refer anyone to me I will gladly express the merits of this medicine. Yours truly. Colorado Springs, Colo. To Whom It May Concern; I have suffered with my lungs for a long time, after trying different remedies, from which I had lost flesh, and my appetite was more than bad.

I feel like a new man; no more drowsy feeling and lack of ambition. How gladly can I sing the praises of Bates' Twentieth Century Tea.

The State Legislature has passed a law giving town and municipal authorities in Louisiana the privilege of refusing permits to colored people to build homes in white sections, and vice versa. Reading the dictionary for pleasure is not an unknown occupation, and there is the testimony of one well known man that, while traveling, he had found one etymological dictionary a "perpetual succession of pleasant surprises." Such a book is good for one who finds it hard to concentrate his mind amid the distractions of a journey. She—"I don't see any sense in your objecting to Mr. De Bumville being invited to the house." He—"Why, you know he's been shown to be a man of no principle or character, a man who had to leave his country to escape the law—" She (impatiently)—"That's very true; but no one can say he's not a perfect gentleman."

Mr. McAllister had made a splendid reputation and record as a public official. His reappointment is accepted here as meaning that President Taft will appoint colored men to office in the South, and that the much discussed "Southern policy" does not bar colored men from office in the South. Lead Pencils. I don't think I'm exactly lazy and I have a fair amount of intelligence, but I cannot sharpen a lead pencil. I've been trying to learn for—well, I won't say how long, but it's many, many years. I couldn't sharpen them when I was little. I couldn't sharpen them when I was big. I can't sharpen them now that I am bigger. Pencil sharpeners don't sharpen them any better than I do. Or than you do, I wager, if you're a woman! When I'm rich I shall hire a man to sharpen my pencils for me every morning.—Exchange. 1- Sunday Dinner, 50c from 12 to 2 p.m. A. J. LYLE, Continental Building. HInt for Travelers.

The information is arranged in a concise, systematic form so as to make it easy of reference. The book is not published as a business venture although it may be so later, provided it finds a sufficient number of readers.

Man cuts down a tree and makes a house of it. Thus nature has been arrested—dammed up, so to speak—and man has created wealth. Thus we have the thing we term wealth—houses, palaces, hovels, cities, railroads, steamships—all of the wonderful structures that man has built, which has been created by him through his energy, by arresting nature. But something else has happened meanwhile, it is about like this: In every 100 men, say, there will be one who has something else besides energy. He has brains. He is naturally superior to the rest. At first his superiority may be only the breadth of a hair. It is just enough for him to differentiate himself from the ninety and nine. Afterwards this difference may grow, as he has opportunity to cultivate it; but at first it is slight. What has this man discovered? Merely that he is capable of playing a trick upon the rest. He says: "You are doing it this way; this is a pretty good way, of course, but I think I know a better. At present each one of you is working on his own hook, and sometimes you work against each other—without meaning to, of course. Now if you will let me direct your movements a little, I can produce twice as much wealth as you are producing at present." So the man, who really makes a bargain with each one of the ninety and nine naturally gets his profit from each one. The rest don't realize this. Each one thinks he is the only one concerned. In a short time the man with brains owns about nineteens of all the wealth that the energy of the ninety and nine men has created. This gives him more leisure to think and to develop other plans. He then creates, from the resources of his own mind, three things, namely, religion, law and government. With religion he solaces the ninety and nine poor devils who have never learned to think, and if anyone argues with him about it, he says: "Sh! would you deprive them of their greatest consolation? Apostate!" With law he arranges a process of selection so that the wealth which is constantly being created by the ninety and nine will all go to his own heirs and assigns. He fortifies himself thus against his own indiscreations, so that his children, who may not, and probably will not, have any brains at all, will be able to float along on the tire of wealth the ninety and nine are constantly renewing for them. With government he clinches the whole matter and makes respectable his process of robbing the ninety and nine. Thus we have that degenerate thing called society, a mass of retrograde brains, spouting culture, literature, art and honesty, all blindly supported by the ninety and nine, who in the first place didn't want to think, because it was too much trouble."Old Hickory." There is no alliment or disease more prevalent among our people than that technically known as "aphasia." This disease attacks those brain areas that control speech. The symptoms of this disease in a mild form are lack of energy in talking, lapse of memory at frequent intervals in conversation, and a most annoying tendency to verbal "scatteration" and The negroes of Washington and the District of Columbia of the old settlers, before the war, acquired much and valuable real estate when land values were cheap, but which has appreciated greatly with the years and the marvelous improvements that have made Washington one of the most beautiful capitals of the world. Much of this property was allowed by the first purchasers or their immediate heirs to get away from them, but much of it was "kept in the family," and is now held by the heirs. A very great volume has also been secured by "newcomers" since the war. The Washington Bee chronicles the passing of block 900 in S street to the ownership of negroes. For a great many years Mr. Daniel Murray of the Congressional library was the only negro proprietor in the street. Mr. Benjamin Washington purchased the adjoining property and the exodus of whites began. The Bee says: "Among the newest 'colonists' in this '900' block of S street, are prof. and Mrs. L. B. Moore, Dr. and Mrs. W. L. Tignor, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Francis, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, Mr. and Dr. Booker T. Washington traveled the red light districts of London, Paris and Berlin and was not molested, and thus we had "The Man Farthest Down." Then, why should it be dangerous for him to travel in the same district in his own country? An encouraging sign of the times is the fact that there are occasions when we certainly get together. Last week the entire race press featured the Washington-Ulrich case. Display headlines with well written stories of the affair did credit to the publishers. In many general loitering along instead of going directly to the point. The victim of this ailment surcharges his expressions with "er"-"er"-"er's" until the hearer becomes nauseated; he tries to give you the name of some one, and the name eludes him; he refers to a place but can't think of its name; in other words, he is conducting you down to a point on the stream of conversation and instead of going directly to the object he turns aside and explores every little rivulet running into it. Wearied, you forget what he intended to say, or where he intended to go. The talk is at once diffusive and confusing, showing that the speaker is a victim of mental "scatteration" rather than a master of concentration. This common time-wasting fault is general among both the literate and the illiterate among our people. It becomes hideously disgusting among the educated (?), who, in addition to the foregoing, inject a troop of ill-chosen pronouns which make confusion worse confounded. Some days ago a young colored man boarded a train to go to a certain place. He had failed to buy a ticket. After the train had gotten under way, the conductor came in and shouted: "Tickets, tickets." Our young man handed him a piece of money. The conductor asked, "Where do you want to go?" There was considerable hesitation, scratching of the head, floundering over the "Ah"-"ah"-"er"-"er," and finally the fellow had to turn to one of his companions and ask; "What's the name 'er de place I want to go to?" This had consumed about four minutes of the conductor's time, and the latter passed on a sadder and a madder man! Through the efforts of Dr. James H. Dillard, field agent of the combined Jeanes Rural school and John F. Slater funds, a commission of southern state university professors has been formed to study the race question from an economic, educational and sociological viewpoint. "The chief aim of the organization," says Dr. Dillard, "is to study the negro in his relation to southern life. I know that student groups in many southern universities have been studying this question. They have done this systematically and with high promise. So I was led to conclude that we should look to our state universities for the prosecution of the work, and it appeared that the work could best be prosecuted through co-ordination and cooperation by all the institutions. The commission has been formed by the selection of a member from each of the 11 state universities of the south, as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Prof. C. H. Braugh of the University of Arkansas is president, and Prof. Hunley of the University of Virginia is secretary. The negro lodge and the negro church should not forget from whence cometh their strength. 'They control thousands of dollars yearly, nearly all of which is placed in the banks owned and operated by white men, notwithstanding the colored banks are quite numerous. There are five colored banks in Texas, and out of something like $250,000 of colored money belonging to colored lodges and churches not 5 per cent of it can be found on deposit in colored banks. This condition must change. The negro must not be separated from his money.—Dallas Express. Mrs. George Henry Murray, and Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jones. It is given out that Prof. and Mrs. W. A.

Every Device, From Flight to Open Defiance Resorted To—Finally Shaken From Tree Top It Continues Resistance. A naturalist in Virginia encountered a desirable specimen of blacksnake which he wanted for his collection. As usual in such cases the snake saw him first. It lay perfectly quiet, trusting to escape observation. Directly in front of the naturalist lay a wide open space. The naturalist knew that he could easily overtake the blacksnake before it could reach the bushes opposite. The blacksnake, too, seemed to be cognizant of this fact, inasmuch as the man had not taken half a dozen steps in its direction before it changed its tactics and, some ten feet away, turned and charged its hunter. The man spread his legs and stooped to catch the snake. But the blacksnake displayed such agility that before the hunter could determine just where to grasp it the snake was ten feet away. It was evident that the blacksnake expected the man to flee, as no doubt it had seen other men flee under such circumstances. The snake was some seven feet in length and although quite harmless looked formidable enough to frighten the average man. As its hunter did not flee the snake turned about and again charged. This time it swerved from its course when it saw that the man was standing his ground. This deviation in the snake's rush got it into some bushes. Here it coiled after the manner of a rattlesnake. It elevated its tail and vibrated it with great rapidity and, striking the leaves and twigs, managed to produce a buzzing sound not unlike the warning of a rattler. At the same time it drew back its head as if ready to strike. The man continued to advance; so the snake once more changed its tactics. It began to dog in and out of the bush. The maneuvering continued for perhaps ten minutes. Then the man, seeing a good opportunity, rushed forward to secure his prize. The blacksnake mounted through the bushes to their tops and went from the tops to the lower branches of a small birch. It continued to mount upward and made its way to the swaying tip, some 15 feet in the air, performing the feat as quickly as a squirrel could have done it. From this elevated position the blacksnake surveyed the man in triumph. But its exultation was short lived, for a vigorous shake of the tree brought it down, and as it fell upon the soft bed of leaves at the hunter's feet the man threw himself upon the serpent and succeeded in catching it. Even then the blacksnake did not lose its head, but by an unexpected movement managed to fasten one of its teeth in a finger, inflicting deep scratches. The naturalist kept this snake for nearly two months. It proved to be the most intractable of blacksnakes. Whenever the naturalist took it in his hands it would exhibit much ingenuity in its attempts to escape. Country Weekers. Mayor Crump of Memphis in a recent address on behalf of children's country week associations said: "Astonishing is the ignorance of nature shown by these little pale, lean slum dwellers. One child, whose knowledge of trees and grass and flowers was derived from the early closing city parks, said as she gazed with delight on a green rural scene: "What time does the'country shut up?" "Another child watched a farmhand digging potatoes and said: "Is this where you keep your potatoes, sir? I should think it would be handler to keep them in bags in the cellar." "And I know of a third child to whom a farmer offered a superb, ripe peach." "Let me pluck this peach for you right off the tree," he said. "But the child, a little girl, turned up her nose and answered loftily: "No, thank you. I never eat them till they're canned."—Exchange Record Price for Rembrandt. A work of Rembrandt ("Woman Plucking a Fowl") recently sold in Paris for $95,000, appears to hold the record price for that artist's work. The same picture was sold in Amsterdam in 1734 (it was probably painted about 1640) for $70. In 1845 in London it brought about $1,625, and in 1884 was sold in Paris, to the family which has now resold it, for about $2,800. The previous record price for a Rembrandt was that paid for the "Girl Holding a Medal," in the Hoe collection, sold here last year for $70,000.—New York Press. Helping Turkish Women. Dr. Mary Mills Patrick, president of the American College for Girls at Constantinople, arrived in New York a few days ago on a short visit to her native country. At the present time there are 250 students, Bulgarians, Armenians, Greeks, Persians, Turks, Jews, Hungarians and Germans, in the college. These girls all live in dormitories built after American plans and mostly with American money. Mrs. Russell Sage, Miss Helen Gould and John D. Rockefeller have given large sums to Dr. Patrick for her work. MAKE BUSINESS OF EATING Professionals Assist Dinners Who Are Compelled by Etiquette to Leave Clean Plates. One of the most striking customs of the past that are preserved by the Indians of today is found among the tribes on the Devill's Lake reservation in North Dakota. According to the report of an officer of the Indian bureau the Devill's Lake Sloux have from time immemorial adhered to a curious custom in regard to the treatment of a guest. According to their etiquette it is the bounden duty of the host to supply his guest with all the food he may desire, and as a rule the apportionment set before the visiting Indian is much in excess of the capacity of a single man. But by the same custom the guest is obliged to eat all that is placed before him else he grossly insults his entertainer. It was found that this practice would work a hardship, but instead of dispensing with the custom the Indian method of reasoning was applied, and what is known as the professional eater was brought to the front. While the guest is supposed to eat all that is placed before him, it serves the same purpose if his neighbor assists in devouring the bountiful repast, the main object being to have the plate clean when the meal is finished. It is not always practicable to depend upon a neighbor at table to assist in getting away with a large dinner, and in order to insure the final consumption of the allotted portion, visiting Indians call upon these professional eaters, whose duty it is to sit beside them throughout a meal and eat what the guest leaves. The professional eaters are never looked upon in the light of guests, but more as traveling companions with a particular duty to perform. These eaters receive from one dollar to two and even three dollars for each meal where they assist. It is said that one of these professional eaters has been known to dispose of seventeen pounds of beef at a sitting. "Break" on the Wire. Two telegraph operators were seated in a downtown cafe recently when an athletic young man and an exceedingly pretty girl entered. They were placed at a table opposite the "key" men, who were sitting side by side in a position facing the girl. As is the custom of the craft when wishing to discuss someone in a public place they telegraphed to each other, using their knives on the plate. "Peacherino, isn't she?" one ticked to the other. "A tree full," came back the tapping reply. "Wonder who the sack is with her?" "Search me—looks like a boob tied up with a wren like her." "Bet they aren't married. If they are, all she needs to do to get a divorce is to exhibit that map of his in court." While the two men were enjoying a huge laugh over their silent joking they were surprised and somewhat alarmed to hear some more "table knife telegraphy." The "peacherino" was doing it and she did not look at all pleased, either. "You two would better look out while you are all together," carelessly flicked her knife blade while she listened to something her companion was saying. "This sack and boob, as you called him, with the divorce map, is my husband—boilermaker by trade. He eats fresh little boys." Something happened to the "wires" about that time and all communication ceased.—Kansas City Journal. Law of Good Faith: I see no exception to the respect that is paid among nations to the law of good faith. If there are cases in this enlightened period when it is violated, there are none when it is decried. It is the philosophy of politics, the religion of governments. It is observed by barbarians—a whiff of tobacco smoke, or a string of beads, gives not merely binding force, but sanctity to treaties. Even in Algiers a truce may be bought for money; but when ratified, even Algiers is too wiser or too just, to disown and annul its obligation. Thus, we see neither the ignorance of savages nor the principles of an association for piracy and rapine, permit a nation to despise its engagements. If there could be a resurrection from the foot of the gallows, if the victims of justice could live again, collect together and form a society, they would, however loath, soon find themselves obliged to make justice, that justice under which they fell, the fundamental law of their state—Fisher Ames. Commercial Politics Commerce forms a numerous class, friends of external peace and internal tranquility, who attach themselves to the established government. It creates great fortunes, which in republics become the origin of the most forceful aristocracies. As a rule commerce enriches the cities and their inhabitants, and increases the laboring and mechanical classes, in opening more opportunities for the acquirement of riches. To an extent it fortifies the Democratic element in giving the people of the cities greater influence in the government. It arrives at nearly the same result by impoverishing the peasant and land owner, by the many new pleasures offered him and by displaying to him the ostentation and voluptuousness of luxury and ease. It tends to create bands of mercenaries rather than those capable of worthy personal service. It introduces into the nation luxury, ease and avarice at the same time as labor—Barnave.

The Usher—This is our president, Mrs. Swift, whom I think you have met before. Mrs. Swift—I should say so, when we have been next-door neighbors for eight or nine years! Glad to see you just the same. What a lovely day for our receptionion—lovely! You remember how it rained when we had our annual affair last year? Floods and torrents! Today is so much better. This is our first vice president, Mrs. Todhunter. Mrs. Todhunter—Happy to see you, Delightful day, isn't it? And so many have come out! I hope there will be refreshments enough. Everything seems to be going off so nicely. So glad you could come. Let me pr ent you to our second vice president, whom you know, I am sure. Second Vice President—Considering that we are own cousins, I guess we do know each other. Awfully glad you could come, May. You said last night that—You really like my gown? It's sweet of you to say so. You don't think it too much for an occasion like this? No? I am so glad, for I felt a little worried, and—You know our expresident, Mrs. Crozier, of course. Mrs. Crozier—Of course! You were a member of the club all the time I was president. How do you do? What a lovely day for us! Last year it did rain! It makes it so bad when it rains on our annual affair. How lovely the room looks! And how charming the refreshment tables are! Of course, you know Mrs. Esterham, our treasurer. Mrs. Esterham—O, how do you do? So glad you could come. Were you here last year? Didn't it rain? So many have spoken about the difference between the weather this year and the weather last year. I said last night that I was sure that we would have a good day today, because there was such a nice sunset. Every one seems to be having a good time. Well that is what we came for. Let me present the chairman of our board of directors. Mrs. Bankum. Mrs. Bankum—O, we have been friends for ages! But I am glad to see you all the same. And on such a beautiful day! So different from last year. You recall how it rained? Aren't the decorations tasteful? Pink and green make such a pretty combination. Last year we had violet and white, but I like pink and white better. I want to present you to Mrs. Hillobran, who is president of the Progress club over in Springdale. Mrs. Hillobran—Happy to know you, Mrs.—Mrs. I don't just get the name, Jones? O, I thought it sounded a little like Johnson. There is so much talking in the room. We have a Mrs. Henry Jones in our club. Is she a relative of yours? No? As you say, Jones is quite a common name. They tell me that it rained terribly last year when you had your annual reception. Well, you certainly can't complain of the weather this time, for it is ideal, simply ideal. So glad to have met you. Mrs. Jones—Thank goodness, that's over with! If there is any greater bore than going along a receiving line and being presented to a lot of people you have known all your life, or a lot you haven't the least wish to know, I don't know what that bore is, and never want to—Puck. Gold Nugget Punctures Tire. A puncture in your automobile tire isn't always a misfortune. At least Joseph Kneebone doesn't think so, and he will never kick again when a blow-out delays him on the road. The reason for Mr. Kneebone's philosophy may be explained in the fact that while driving to Grass Valley, Nev., a day or two ago, with the thermometer at 90 degrees, he suddenly heard a report which caused him to lose his temper. Getting down from the seat he looked upon the spectacle of a punctured tire, and proceeded to fix it. During the course of his labors he had occasion to stop near the little stream of water that was close by, and which is inappropriately named Dry creek. His eyes were caught by a sudden glint between the rocks, and stooping over he picked up a gold nugget that proved to be worth $70. The nugget exactly fitted the cut in the tire, and had caused the puncture. Giving Her Time. Mr. and Mrs. Nubbubs were not always on good terms. It was rather a sore point with Mrs. N. that her hubby seldom took her out, and it rankled. The other evening, however, Nubbubs arrived home very elated and pleased with himself. "My dear," he remarked, "I'm going to take you to the theater." Mrs. N. rose to the occasion and expressed her pleasure suitably. "Yes, I've got the tickets, and it's a fine piece. Next Tuesday week's the date." "How splendid!" echoed the lady. "Yes," he chimed, "and you might begin to get ready at once!" Awoke Commercial Instinct. It is a sad blow to faith in human nature, says the New York Tribune, to learn that the rewards offered for dead files over in Flushing have induced the youth of the land to take to breeding the buzzing pests to gain wealth the quicker. WHEN LIFE NEARS ITS CLOSE Physical Changes That Paralyze, in Varying Degree, the Mind and Limbs of the Aged. One of the chief tragedies of oncoming age is the increasing difficulty in moving about and in grasping new ideas. Limbs and wits both become less nimble and agile. It has now been discovered to what this condition is due. Certain substances separate themselves from the gray matter of the brain and cause a thickening in the cells of that part of the brain lying under the frontal bone, forming a gland-like body, which scientists call "plaques." These "plaques" are ray-shaped kernels, more or less irregular in form and frequently assuming the shape of crystals. Just what substances cause the growth of "plaques" by segregation from the brain matter, scientists do not know. But they do know that these substances are the substances which make for nlmbleness, quickness, ease of thought and movement. The favorite place of the plaque, the front portion of the brain, is also the part of the brain which becomes diseased, in cases of paralysis, so that some biological analogy exists between difficulty of movement and speech and impossibility of movement and speech. The "plaques" are found chiefly in the rind of the brain. Very rarely they attack the spinal column. If present in minute numbers, the person attacked shows only the milder symptoms of old age, slowness of movement, fatigue, inability to understand quickly. If presented in large numbers, senile dementia, one of the most horrible conditions into which the human body lapse, occurs. They attack the intellectual and the dull-witted people alike in old age, for some of the brightest minds become afflicted with dullness and apparent stupidity, even to senile dementia in some instances. On the other hand, people who have always been dull-witted, even illiterate, are afflicted in a like manner, so it cannot be claimed the affliction is due to an overworked brain. Protect the Snake Accentuating the idea in an editorial in The Sunday Star that birds should be protected as they are the farmers' friends, and their destruction would be followed by the destruction of the human race, comes the suggestion that snakes should also be protected. This from the Record-Herald is instructive: Legislation to protect snakes that are harmless to man and destructive to rats, mice and other creatures obnoxious to farmers is being sought in several states, according to Prof. H. D. Bailey of Muhlenberg college, a Pennsylvania institution. In a recent lecture Prof. Bailey pronounced the "king snakes, the milk snakes, the bute, the corn, fox and indigo snakes all valuable allies of the farmer," and commended efforts to increase the number of bull snakes, which, though large, are harmless and abound in some western states. As man's knowledge of nature increases, he finds many creatures useful or harmless to his interests, and he should act accordingly. Many snakes are benefactors of man, according to authorities, and once the instinctive dread of them disappears through knowledge and familiarity there is nothing objectionable in their presence.—Kansas City Star. Balmy Days in Montana. Bishop N. Luccock, recently named at the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Minneapolis, Minn., will make his home in Helena, Mont., and have charge of conferences in Montana, Idaho and the two Dakotas. Meeting a citizen from Montana the bishop, who will have much traveling to do, asked: "How is it out there in winter?" "Oh, it gets a little chilly. In fact, quite biting along in the early morning," explained the man, "but by noon it warms up—moderates considerably. "Ah, I see," smiled the bishop. "Yep," explained the Montana man in all seriousness, "you may find it 36 degrees below zero when you get up in the morning, and by noon it will have moderated until the thermometer may show only 30 below." "The afternoons of such balmy days," suggested Bishop Luccock, "are given over to gardening?"—Kansas City Journal. Eager to Help. He—My dear Miss Gladys, I have been converted, but I find there are some things I must do. The minister has told me, for instance, that where I have done wrong, I must make restitution. She (sympathetically)—Sometimes that cannot always be done. For ministers ask hard things. He (doubtfully)—Now, Miss Gladys, the other day I stole a kiss from you, and, according to the minister, I must give it back. She (promptly)—Well, I suppose you ought to do what the minister tells you.

Profession Not as Grewsome as an Outsider Might Naturally Imagine —Why Customer Countermanded Order for Casket. "Ours is a solemn business," said an undertaker, "and yet there happens in it something over which all concerned can reasonably be cheerful. "The grewsome old time coffin has now been all but supplanted in use by the modern burial casket, which In design and finish is as far from commlike in appearance as it is possible to make it, and which is also made in very great variety as to the materials used and styles of finish and cost. "It is not uncommon now for persons in health to indicate the sort of casket in which they desire to be buried when their time shall come, and sometimes such a person may select and buy a casket to be held for him. It is out of these modern changes in our mortuary customs that we get the occasional cheerful note of which [ spoke. "Some years ago there came to us to order a casket members of a family whose head was then, as supposed, mortally ill; that he must die appeared beyond a doubt; and it was desirable to make preparations for this event in advance because the casket required was of unusual size, and it was also desired that it should be elaborate in construction and finish. We had the casket ready in time, but when the casket was ready the man began to improve in condition and he continued to improve; and in the course of time he recovered his health and strength completely. "Then there was the family with that casket on hand, of which he had no knowledge whatever, and they came to us to dispose of it, which of course we readily agreed to do. It was a costly casket, though that was no impediment to its sale, for we make and sell many beautiful and costly caskets; but its unusual size was against it, and it was some time before we finally disposed of it, which we did at considerably below its first cost. But this was a loss which the original purchasers were very glad to sustain. "We once had a customer who had lost his wife and who came to us to bury her, which we did. After the funeral he came back to us. He had selected the casket in which his wife was buried and now he bought one just like it for himself. He was a man in health, with no prospect of death, so far as that was concerned, but he was greatly grieved and cast down over the death of his wife, and when he should die he wanted to be buried in a casket just like that in which we had buried her. So he bought this casket and we held it for him. "Something more than a year after he met another woman with whom he fell in love and whom he married; and after that we got a letter from him, saying: "Sell my casket. I've no use for it now." Mysterious Cave Dwellers. The sentiment that accompanies the common desire for the preservation of historical relics of the American Indians, who are fast passing away or being merged into the civilization of a new century, is now being manifested in reference to the preservation of the home of the cliff-dwelling Indians, whose history is as mysterious and unrecorded as that of the lost tribes of Israel. Various theories have been propounded regarding the cliff dwellers. Legends have it that they are the descendants of Montezuma. The popular theory is that the Indians began by living in caves, the homes that nature had provided, and then, with the natural ingenuity of man, proceeded to excavate caves high up in the side of the cliffs, where they might be safeguarded from attacks and where their supremacy would go unchallenged. Americans know very little of the history of the cliff dwellers or of the place where they formerly lived. If the Indians know, they do not tell.—Harriet Quimby in Leslie's. Gentlemen's Valuables So many men to whom the city missionary had given money for a night's lodging had expressed a preference for a certain east side lodging house that he wondered what constituted its particular attraction. "It makes us feel self-respecting," the men said when questioned. So far as the missionary could see, it was a typical lodging house. He appealed to the manager. By what method did he fan the fires of self-respect in his guests? The manager pointed to a sign: "Gentlemen are requested to leave their valuables with the clerk."—New York Times. Discouraging. "No, no, don't tell me that. Something disagreeable or discouraging has happened. Your look shows it." "Well, if you insist on knowing, I started out this morning feeling as gay and chipper as a boy of twenty; but a little while ago I met a former sweetheart of mine and she told me that her second daughter had just graduated from high school. Say, are the wrinkles around my eyes very noticeable?" YOUNG MEN IN THE SADDLE Comparative Youths Are Just Now Guiding the Destinies of the Great British Empire. Lord Haldane, who has just been made lord chancellor of England, is exceptionally young for the post. He was born in 1859, remarks the New York Sun. He is the youngest member of the house of lords tribunal—the final court of appeal—younger than any of the appeal judges, and he has only two juniors on the chancery bench and three on the king's bench. Winston Churchill is, of course, the youngest member of the British government, the changes in which entailed by Lord Haldane's transfer have still further reduced the average age of its members. There have probably been few or no administrations in which average has been lower. Today there is only one minister seventy and only two are in the sixties. Ten, including the premier, are still in the fifties, and seven are still on the right side of fifty. With Winston Churchill, aged thirty-eight, at the admiralty and Colonel Seely, aged forty-three, at the war office, youth is certainly well served. At their combined ages of eighty-one Gladstone was at the height of his fame and the duke of Wellington was still a power in the house of lords and in the country. There are many links between the careers of Colonel Seely and Mr. Churchill. Both were at Harrow and both saw fighting in South Africa. Mr. Churchill began his career with a cavalry regiment and Colonel Seely fought with the imperial yeomanry. Both entered the house in 1900 and both entered it as unionists. Both have sat for three different constituencies. Colonel Seely followed Mr. Churchill as undersecretary for the colonies, an office which both held for two years. Both married soldiers' daughters. Sir Philip Sasson, the new member for Hythe, is the "baby" of the house of commons, though he is far from being the youngest man to enter that chamber. Leaving Pitt and Palmerston out of account, Sir Philip, at twenty-four, was surpassed in point of youth by Mr. Gladstone, who had not completed his twenty-third year when he was first returned for Newark. In modern times Earl Winston was still younger when he first entered the house as member for the Horsham division a few months after he had attained his majority. Before the return of the new member for Hythe Viscount Wolmer had been the youngest member of the house. On the liberal benches the youngest member is the Hon. F. W. S. McLaren, Lord Aberconway's second son, who entered his twenty-seventh year some weeks ago, while W. G. C. Gladstone is nearly twelve months older. The labor members have few young men in their ranks, but the "baby" of the nationalists is their leader's son, W. A. Redmond, who celebrates his twenty-sixth birthday this year. Paper Clothing. The latest idea is clothing made of paper. A representative of a large English firm of paper manufacturers states that they are at the present moment experimenting in the hope of producing a kind of paper really suitable for the making of clothes which can be sewn and hold buttons. "Paper towels are an excellent idea—these are made in Germany," he said. Paper hats have been a fashion for some time. Instead of wearing washable cotton sun bonnets and caps, children can have each day a new paper hat costing from two cents to twelve cents, which takes one item off the washing bill. Paper shirts are being produced at 12 cents apiece, while the cost of a paper handkerchief is two cents—the price of the washing of a linen one. In the household, too, the washing bill can be largely reduced by using paper instead of linen, for now there are paper blinds—lace edged—paper servlettes, paper toilette mats, paper dolllies, paper table covers, while paper towelling could be adapted to kitchen use for tea cloths, dusters and similar articles. Mourning Colors "When people who write for fashion publication," says a Vienna letter, "have nothing more to say about queer-shaped hats, grotesque skirts and other equally 'important' matters, they tell us that black is going out and white is to be the mourning color—if white may be so termed. This 'fashion news item' may be looked for several times a year, but black, sombre black, still maintains its place. The band on the sleeve has done much to save money for those who still wish to wear a badge of mourning, but the sleeve band will never be white. The greater display of mourning is made with stationery, the size of the cards and the depth of the black borders indicating—what? There will be real mourning among the stationers when one may announce the death of a beloved one or tell of his good qualities on paper which is pure white." Persevering Japanese. Wakao Ippel, the wealthiest man in the province of Yamanashi, Japan, did not learn to read until he was sixty years of age, nor had he up to that time begun to accumulate his present great fortune. At one time he was a raglücker. His first real business venture was the purchase of crystal balls, which sold at a good profit. After reaching the age of sixty he engaged a tutor in Chinese classics, which study he pursued until his nineteth year. He is now ninety-three. COOKING PEAS AND CARROTS Many Ways of Preparation to Suit the Individual Taste—Peas Served In Turnip Shells. One way of preparing peas, and for my own taste there is none better: Blend together two tablespoonfuls of butter and one tablespoonful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a little pepper, for each pint of peas. When the peas are soft stir this into the peas and cook five minutes. In preparing them in that way all the flavor and nutritive value of the peas are retained. Use care that there is not too much water; there should be only enough to cook the peas in, which is scarcely enough to cover them. To Cook Young Carrots.—Wash and scrape the carrots and cut in quarters lengthwise; then holding the quarters together place on a board and cut crosswise through the four quarters in one-half inch pieces. Boll twenty minutes or until soft in just enough water to cover. They are very nice prepared by the same recipe given for peas; and just before serving add two teaspoonfuls of parsley finely minced to each pint of carrots. Peas and Carrots.—One cup of carrots cut in small pieces as stated and two cups of shelled peas. Cook the carrots and peas together until soft. Drain; add four tablespoonfuls of cream and one tablespoonful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Heat over hot water and serve as soon as hot. Peas Served in Turnip Shells. Use the flat turnips for this dish and choose them near of a size. Wash and pare the turnips and with a sharp knife scoop out the center, leaving a shell one-half inch thick. Steam the turnips and be careful not to overcook them or they will fall to pieces. Put a folded napkin in the serving dish and place the turnips on it; shake a little salt and pepper over them, and fill with cooked peas which have been seasoned with butter, salt and pepper. Do not waste the turnip which was scooped out, but cook and mash it and reserve for another meal. ADORNMENTS FOR THE TABLE Cloths, Luncheon Sets and Dollies Should All Be of the Finest Possible Materials. The tablecloth is becoming a thing of rare beauty and some of the new ones are lovely enough, with their wealth of lace and hand embroidery, to be used for a lingerie gown. For the round table the linen covers only the top, a 14-inch border of clunky lace hanging bellow. This same lace is inserted in the center of the cloth and takes the place of the usual center-piece. For the luncheon set color is being introduced. Daisies embroidered in natural tints upon heavy Irish linen give a charming new touch. These, as a rule, include a large centerpiece and a dozen dolies. The petals of the flowers are done with very thick, fluffy floss and the embroidery can be finished in a very short time. Other pretty luncheon sets are made of finer linen, the doilies being cut in squares instead of round, while the new punch work and a very little fine French embroidery are introduced. For breakfast the table linen is much plainer, and these sets include the cloth and a dozen small napkins. Damask embroidered in quaint little flower designs in color are very attractive, while others are of linen crash embroidered in cross-stitch. All of these are rather expensive when bought in the shops, but the housewife who has several idle hours during the day can with but a slight expense and little trouble give her table linen a distinctive air. Health Plum Pudding. Two cups best graham flour, sifted and then measured. Mix with half a teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon of soda and one teaspoon of baking powder, one cup of nuts (either almonds, English walnuts or pecans), a cup of ralsins, a cup of milk and one-half cup of molasses. Wash, seed and dry the ralsins and flour them lightly. Slice or chop the nuts fine, then add molasses and milk to the flour; mix well and quickly; add ralsins and nuts; mix thoroughly again. Butter pudding mold, turn in the batter and boll three hours. Serve with lemon sauce. To Wash Blue Duck To wash the child's blue duck suit, shake it free of all outer dust, then dip it in cold water containing ox-gall in proportion of a tablespoonful to a gallon of water. Let the garment get almost dry, drying it in the shade; then wash it quickly in tepid water, using borax soap, or if you have not this, use a very little pure white soap wherever necessary to remove the dirt, and add a little borax to the wash water. Rinse well, dry in the shade, and iron while still damp, or at least not thoroughly dry. Seeded Grape Pie. Take your grapes, pulp them, set aside the skins, bring the pulp to a boil slowly, then press through a steve, mix with the skins. Take a cup of sugar, mix two tablespoonfuls flour with it, put with your seeded grapes, add a lump of butter. Have a nice, rich pie crust; line your pan with it, put in grapes, then your top crust. Cut holes in it to allow the steam to escape. Brush the top with melted butter; bake in a hot oven to a golden brown. Serve a little warm with coffee.

DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE FROCKS ALL EASY TO PACK One of the Most Important Points to Remember in Arranging the Coiffure. By No Means the Least of the Blessings of the Styles That Mark the Present Season. I will not go so far as to say that "artistic hairdressers are born, not made," says M. Calle, the well-known coiffeur, in the July Strand, but let me hasten to say at once, therefore, that the arrangement of the hair is a study—not an accident, as it would seem to be regarded by those who have not studied the art of the coiffeur. For example, if a woman is endowed by nature with a long face—that is to say, a face longer than that of the average woman—there is one golden rule that she must always bear in mind when arranging her hair—namely, to do it as artistically full at the side as possible—always, of course, taking care not to overdo the fulness. Again, the woman with what I think may best be described as "a round face" will be wise to keep the fulness of her hair at the side within bounds, and to dress her hair in front as high as she reasonably can, thereby adding that length to her face which she lacks. One more golden rule. The woman with a suggestion of an oval face should, as far as possible, endeavor to preserve that suggestion of "ovalness" by dressing her hair "ovally." Many years' experience has proved to me that, beyond all manner of doubt, a woman may make or mar herself by the manner in which she has her hair dressed. To the average French woman this remark will surely come more or less as a truism, for your modern French woman possesses more truly artistic instincts in this direction than the average English woman, who all too seldom studies the formation of her face when giving directions for the dressing of her hair. Brims Sweep Upward. Military grows more and more entrancing every week. Several quite fresh lines of expression have been struck, and a much more reasonable attitude is observable in every way. The favorite upward sweep now is taken from a little to one side of center front, and is carried to an exceeding length, and usually finishes rather sharply. It will be gathered from this line that this is no casual uplifting of a brim, but a specially constructed shape. Pretty Wedding Gift. One of the most appreciated wedding presents of a recent bride was an attractive basket containing six glasses of assorted jellies. The glasses were daintily wrapped in white crepe paper and the basket had been treated to a coat of white enamel paint, while the handles were tied together with a bow of white ribbon through which was thrust a tiny spray of artificial orange blossoms. Corded Weaves Coming. It is said on good authority that corded weaves will be popular in the autumn. These new ribbed fabrics will include materials so light in weight as to be suitable for dress draperies and heavier ones adapted for suits, outer wraps and trimmings. Rose Parasol. The rose parasol is one of the novelties of the season. This is made of affetta in a lovely pink, and it is entirely covered with scallops, the edges of which are slightly gathered to resemble rose petals. By No Means the Least of the Blessings of the Styles That Mark the Present Season. Let us rejoice and be glad that our garments this year are all "packable." The tub frock is a delectable thing that embraces materials of all sorts, and it can be bought very cheaply, especially when it is half made, which means that you have merely to run up the back of it with your machine after you have purchased it. Lingerie robes, sweet little frocks of Shantung with colored embroidery, muslin garments, and the others of delaine, linen and zephyr, are all alike in certain details. They are narrow and they are flat, they will pack without creasing and they take up about as much room in a travelling case as a full grown bath towel. Many of the cheapest stuffs are among the prettiest—take, for example, striped or checked zephyr. Some of the checks are quite quiet in black and white, combined with lines of blue and green, rose and green, mauve and gray, green and belge, the four tones being arranged together like a duster check. Stripes are effective in shaded lines of color, with threads of white. The popular Ottoman effects are also shown in this material in fine or pronounced stripes of color on white. A woman in a striped dress is arranging flowers in a basket. Pintucked batiste was used to build this pretty waist which buttons down the front with small white crochet buttons. An Irish lace collar finishes the neck and straps of Irish lace cross Val insertions and pintucking on the sleeve. The peplu is edged with lace. Lace-Trimmed Vests: Dalnity undervests of very lightweight cotton are edged at the top and around the armholes with a ruffle of fine valenciennes lace. These are not at all expensive and are soft and pretty enough to take the place of the more expensive silk undervest THE BARBER'S CAFE First Class Tonsil Artists in Attendance.
