PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY POLITICS AND THE NEGRO VOL. XIX. Democracy is a delusive snare to the Negro. He can never be a Democrat, as is now understood. He is neither solicited nor wanted, an undesirbale quantity, strenuously objected to and his citizenship begrudged. The party, in itself, is still the same sentimental, racial grouping, founded on color prejudice, the assumption of a superior race and the dominator of the inferior race—that is Negro. It is the organism and surviving oligarchy which originated the rebellion under the gross assumption of "a white man's country and a white man's government." It is the maintainer of the "white primary" in which not a single Negro vote is allowed to be cast. It declares class and caste and therefore a party for whites only. Notwithstanding, we see the proscribed and ostracized Negro, illegitimately wearing the Democratic badge, begging and vainly petitioning the National Committee to insert a word or two modifying racial prejudice against arrogance, and the inclusion of a platform plank of principles, or a general, just and rightful recognition of the claims of simple manhood. It would seem that manhood, however eraven and degraded, instinctively resents every form of repulsion, indication of bondage and slavery; it is the instinct of the dumb brute which growls and snarls at rude and contemptuous treatment, nor do they forget. Democracy wilfully misconstrues the National Constitution, which is the supreme will of the people, and denying that the "Negro has any rights which a white man is bound to respect;" regarding the Negro always as an alien and an inferior. No white man has any belief or confidence in a Negro Democrat. In mental reservation the Negro so pretends; in reality a hypocrite and only a sinister diplomacy cheeks the outspoken imputation. How can there be Negro Democrats? Everywhere, especially below the Mason and Dixon line, he is the pariah, the subject of "Jim Crowism," open and silent derision, the object of a deep race hatred and most violent lynch law, even to lynching women. As a Democrat, the Negro is generally endured, calculatively tolerated as of a mercenary preferment, a hope for sordid gain, ambition for place, and is so to find a short route to cheap fame and a personal recognition. Certainly he does not stand on his merits and true worth as a man. Later on he is kicked. The Negro is by no means deceiving his white brother who well knows that that stratum of superiority which he persistently denies to the Negro, contradict and to maintain, the Negro ultimately seeks to establish. The champions of the Democratic party—Tillman and Blease of South Carolina; Vardaman, of Mississippi; Hoke Smith, of Georgia; Senator Underwood, of Alabama; Senator Newland, of Ne- vada, and the presidential nominee, Woodrow Wilson, all favor the elimination of the Negro as an element of political power, his subjection in the moral, industrial, educational, political and religious scale. As a proposition of equality, in any sense, the Negro is not considered. The anti-Negro sentiment prevails; as a political yoke-fellow he is not wanted only as a menial to hew, scrub and a bearer of burdens. For progress (?) this party enunciates the three-fold principle—the initiative, referendum and recall. A metaphysical illusion to ensure the certain denial of a common heritage of American citizenship to the man of color. The argument has been faithfully advanced, and which many Negroes have injudiciously and ignorantly conceded that, the right of citizenship was conferred too soon upon the Negro; therefore, was a political blunder, a mistake. The new party would so construct itself and operate to correct that mistake. The fangs are invisible and the rabidity of Bourbon Democracy is veiled, and it fails to assert a humane interpretation of the national constitution, at the same time, limit the interpretive amendments and thus render them ineffective under state constitutions. Considering the innumerable cases of disfranchisement the Negro's voting power is weak, his ratio is but a fraction of a vote as against eight votes. In the initiative process what would be his chance for remedial legislation in the case of the eight initiating legislation on the color line, however unjust or unreasonable, how could he resist? The Negro, under the initiative, would be powerless to propose anything. The referendum is still worse for him. The representatives, in the legislature, could enact any law, reflective and injurious, which he could not muster sufficient voting power to counteract or disannul. If the legislature, in wisdom, fairness, conscientiously would enact a law protecting the manhood and citizenship of the Negro, the majority, from motives of prejudice and through demagoguery could easily defeat the same. The Christian, philanthropic heart in law making, would not only be mocked but rendered unpopular as a representative. The recall, in operation, would victimize him before the bar of justice, the mob and popular clamor would intimidate the judge, as the Jews did Pilate; the arm of justice would be rendered feeble and contemptible, for the Negro could not rally a vindication at the ballot the effort to degrade and recall the judicial decision. The law's interpreter would be exposed to obey the voice of demanding clamor. Those Negroes who would now flatter Colonel Roosevelt in order to exonerate him concerning the Brownsville matter, after having venomously denounced and threat- DENVER. COLORADO, SATURDAY.

The former president maintains his integrity in that matter; he has not forgotten his old denunciators, their position and villification at that time and can refer to them alphabetically in his memoranda, and they are far from fooling him; their apologies are both a reflection upon his intelligence and an insult to his manhood. Mr. Taft is a safe, trained careful, judicial mind, capable of a strong reflective judgement and honesty of purpose. He is deliberate in action, not swayed by impulse, emotion, fickle sentiment, and we have cause to believe in him—New York Age. AMERICA BAR ASSOCIATION AND COLOR LINE (Editorial from Richmond Planet) The attitude of the officers and Executive Committee of the American Bar Association towards Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, based wholly and solely upon his color is without a parallel in the history of this country. It shows that great principles no longer find a lodging place in many of the leading characters now practicing before the American bar. It has shown that the source of our supply of judges is tainted and that this fact accounts for the corruption now said to exist upon the bench in many parts of the United States. It accounts too for the agitation for the recall of judges and judicial decisions. If men of the law, jurists, would claim that members of the legal profession, in good standing, who had been regularly admitted as members of the American Bar Association could be debarred from membership wholly and solely upon the basis of their color, and without one iota of law to sustain such a position, what chance would these same colored men have in a court presided over by any one of these lawyers, who rendered such an opinion? Attorney General George W. Wickersham was equal to the emergency and the fight which he made will not only endear him to all right thinking people but will attract to him the favorable attention and commendation of the civilized world. A most significant fact in connection with the action of the American Bar Association itself was the adoption by that body of a report denouncing as "dangerous to the country" all movements for the recall of judges or of judicial decisions. On the next breath, so to speak, this Association adopted a resolu- tion recognizing the color line and virtually asserting that the race of an applicant would be a bar to membership, thus demonstrating the necessity of the exercise of the very power which the Association had but a few moments condemned. It is interesting too to note that the compromise resolution adopted was offered by a Democrat Hon. Jacob M. Dickinson, who had served in the cabinet of a Republican President. It is as follows: "Whereas three persons of the colored race were elected to membership in this Association without knowledge upon the part of those electing them that they were of that race, and are now members of this association, "Resolved, That as it never has been contemplated that members of the colored race, should become members of the Association, the several local councils are directed, if at any time any of them recoma person of the colored race for membership to accompany the recommendation with a statement of the fact that he is of such race." This resolution was voted upon and declared carried. It recognized the validity of the election of the three colored attorneys but settled that status of any who might come thereafter. The entire affair is highly discreditable to the American Bar Association. Attorney W. R. Morris of Minneapolis Minnesota lost no time in tendering his resignation after he learned of the action of the Association and the Association lost no time in accepting it. The vote on the acceptance is said to have been unanimous thus emphasizing the antipathy of this body of jurists to citizens of color in the United States of America. It is an object lesson to the world, an indication that the decay of this republic and its leaders is at hand. HOME MISSION BOARD REPORT Houston, Texas, Sept. 10.—The report of the Home Mission Board through its secretary, the Rev D. H. Aoyd, shows that from 1902 to 1911, 467 missionaries have been employed and that they have delivered 84,445 sermons and lectures; that 1,435 missionary Baptist Sunday schools and churches have been organized, 41,518 churches, associations and conventions were visited by them, and 1,651,225 miles traveled with a total expenditure of $385,511 24.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Sixty-five of the porters employed in the subway, tunnel, tube and overhead service of the Boston Elevated Street Railway Company were admitted as members of the Street Carmen's Union yesterday.

From Baltimore Times, Aug. 24. —Mr. C. S. A. Baker, the inventor of a friction heater that is to be applied to street cars and passenger trains, has sold his patent to Canadian people for $160,000. Mr. Baker lives in St. Joseph, Mo. and is the inventor of several railway safety appliances. He was the first Negro in St. Joe to own an automobile and amusement park. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 24.—J. Walter Hall, a blind furniture repairer, has been released from the action of the Grand Jury on the charge of violating the segregation ordinance. Hall moved into the 500 block on North Fremont avenue, and as an ally intervened between his home and the next colored residence his arrest followed. Shoubh he be indicted the case will be made one to test the validity of the law. Two prominent colored ministers are already under indictment for holding camp meeting in a white neighborhood. Notwithstanding the many unfair acts of legislation intended to humiliate, discourage and hinder the progress of the Negroes in this country, they are going forward. Nothing, except murder, is meaner than the attempt to degrade and segregate by unfair methods a class of citizens which grew up with the republic, gave it nearly 500 years of free labor, helped to win its freedom and has never guilty of disloyalty to the country's flag. New Orleans, Sept. 11.—That a lack of seats in the Jim Crow car caused the shooting of Conductor Van Zant last Saturday night on the New Orleans & Northwestern Road near Slidell, by a Negro passenger who refused to pay his fare because he had to stand, was charged in the State Railroad Commission by white citizens. The plea was that the railroad be made to equip its trains with more seats for Negroes. NO 2 New Orleans, Sept. 13.—Men of the race here have formed a corporation to run a publishing house and daily paper to let the members of the race in this section of the country see and know what the others of the race are doing in other sections. One of the members of the company said, "We are the only race that is not making work for our sons and daughters. The time is at hand now that we should act and we should be outspoken on everything that is of vital importance to our race. Therefore we have named the paper the 'Daily Spokesman,' and we hope to speak, too, not too loud but in an audible manner, so as to be thoroughly understood." DROWNS AT CHICAGO Columbis, Ohio. Sept. 10.—With a small fortune amassed at the age of 31, Earl Ward, one of the best known colored residents of Columbus, for some unknown reason drowned himself in Lake Michigan at Chicago. His body was recovered last week and was sent to Columbus for burial. From his peculiar actions prior to death it is believed Ward committed suicide while deranged. His sister, Mrs. Blanche Byrd, 283 South Twenty-second street, received a telegram from him, which said he was in Chicago. He had gone to that city August 18 as a delegate to the meeting of the National Business League. Mr. Ward was president of the local branch. Ward, who was engaged in the transfer business at 171 South Champion avenue, lived at 231 Sherman avenue. The day after sending the telegram he telephoned his sister, asking her to send him a suit of cloths that was at his house. The following day he countermanded the request, saying he was coming home. Mrs. Byrd received a small money order from him Monday, and Tuesday he sent his keys and a diamond ring to his brother, W. B. Ward. No explanation accompanied either. The handwriting on the envelope was not Wards. The body was found where it had been washed ashore at Jackson Park, near the site of the World's fair. Money and valuables in the clothing indicated he had not been murdered and robbed Neither were there any marks of violence on the body.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS' it 1s a diMcult problem to promote harmony among the flocks when the shepherds are estranged: for then the position of both 1s jeopardized and open to the attack of the de- stroyer. In s situation where private interest supersedes every considera- tion for the public weal, great havoo 1s wrought through the process; and all contentions which arise within the ranks operate to the detriment of the public good. The bitterness engen- dered by the pursuit of personal ambi- tion ts often destructive to the rights of man—especially in a case where obstinacy controls. There are some efforts purported to be undertaken for the uplift of mankind; but the assets are dangerous weapons in the grasp of determined spirits. Schism when nurtured by the remembrance of past grievances never halts to ponder as to the creation of intolerable condi- tions, but strides onward in pursuit of those attempts which lead to its designs. No atonement can suffice to remove defeat or compensate for the existence of a ruined cause, when it looks back and meditates upon the mischief it begets. Strenuous preten- stons are often indulged supposedly in behalf of the people, but their pri- mary object is to gain advantage and satisfy that unbridled ambition which has risen in all ages in its giant might to trample upon popular privileges. In every age and clime, in every stage of man's career instances are numer- ous wherein shrewd designers have usurped authority and destroyed the rights of their fellows. No man is so deeply imbued with such angelic dis- posttion as to rise above suspicion in dealing with the personal affairs of his neighbor, nor {s he ‘likely to over- Jook the advantages which might greet his gaze. Time only is required to exhibit each individual in his true colors, to establish his just deserts; and should he be weighed and found wanting, he then relinquishes his claim to public confidence and forfeits his rights to loyalty. Every career, however brilliant, has an end to its existence, and a Waterloo attends the fortune of each worker in whatever sphere he strives. Our antagonist is our helper and the obstacles by which we are confronted tend only to strengthen our endeavors in the pros- ecution of life's pursuits. Let the ne- gro not despair; for “there is a divin- ity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we may.”—Ethiopian Pha. lanx.

The hospital has a visiting staff of colored and white physicians and surgeons, and although known as ‘a colored institution, an “effort was made to displace negro internes by white ones. Our sympathies go out to the people of Haiti in the latest calamity that has befallen them. The national pal- ace was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion, when President Cincinnatus Le Conte and many palace attendants were killed and some 400 people were Injured. It appeara that President Le Conte had stored largé quantities of explosives and arms in the cellars of the palace to be in readiness for a war with his neighbor, Santo Domin- go, just across the border, which, It ‘was expected, would break out at any moment. The belief 1s general that an enemy of the president set a slow match to the magazine and thus got rid of the president, the national pal- ace and the prectous magazine in one grand explosion. ‘The presidents of Haiti have a hard time to get the office, and a harder time to keep it: Most of them die with their boots on, by the act of an assassin, some flee from mob soldier wrath and die in exile, often in pov- erty, and some are blown up. It does not appear by the record to be a very desfrable job to have, and yet there is always @ long line of men waiting and plotting their turn at it. A roll call of the presidents of Haiti dur ing the past century reads as sol- emnly and mournfully as “The Death March in Saul.” Already there are plots and rumors of revolution all the Way from Port-au-Prince to Paris, by way of St. Thomas and Jamaica, by men ambitious to succeed Presi- dent Le Conte. There is no hope for the future and stability of Haiti while it 1s governed by revolution and the impulse to revolution. It needs peace- ful administration in order to devel- op its splendid resources of fleld, mine and forest, and to educate its children at home instead of in France for the work of construction at home. Can it have such administration and educa- tlon? We hope so, but there is nothing in the history of Haiti to justify the hope—New York Age. ‘The Charleston (S. C.) Messenger ts untiring in its outspoken attitude on all vital questions affecting our peo- ple. This excellent weekly newspa- per has been doing what it could to champion the cause of the oppressed and the unfortunate for nearly 28 years. Like old wine it is constantly improving with age. In many Negro settlements the mouths of some Negro preachers can be heard along the highways during week days like fog-horns on ocean tramps. Men of this profession who make a practice of hanging around postoffices and grocery stores all day engaging in wordy arguments are a blackening disgrace to our people. The examples are bad before the young ‘men. How can they muster the nerve to preach against loafing and vagrancy when they themselves are no better than loafers? Ministers are expected to greet people pleasantly on the high- way and to enjoy a few moments of pleasant chat together when meeting with one another. It is not against this I raise a protest. I am protesting against preachers congregating on cor- ners and in front of public places for long-drawn-out blatant, verbal conten. tions and hee-haw story telltng which many of them indulge in out before the public for hours at a time. The preacher who stoops to this sort of conduct {s yold of ministerfal dignity and lacks self-respect. Can't they find a more beneficlal way to occupy their spare time so that their actions before the young will speak louder than their words? The death of Dr, R. F.

In Europe they are collected for their alkalies and fodine, for which they are chiefly valued.

Instances From Real Life, in Which Dogs and Cats Have Apparently Used Their Brains, Have Been Verified. Few subjects have been so pains takingly investigated or so widely dis- cussed as the mental processes of the higher animals. Whether they reason or not, a great many careful ob- servers are convinced that they do; and every reference to the question brings interesting letters from read- ers all over the country. W .L. Mott of Bolivar, Mo. has written to tell us of an extremely in- telligent Newfoundland dog, of which he was the owner. In the presence of Mr. Mott and his brothermin-law, this dog chased a gray squirrel into a hol- low wooden pump log lying on the bank of a creek. For a time he bark- ed and worrled the end of the tube without any satisfactory result. He then desisted from chewing the log, sat down in front of it and ob served it attentively. Suddenly he sprang to his feet, selzed the end of the pump log, dragged it over nearer the bank of the creek and with his nose pushed it into the water. The squirrel of course came out as soon as the water reached him, and the dog, springing into the water, easily caught and killed its prey. Here Is a course of action which has certainly most of the external indications of a reasoned process. Another reader, Mrs. May Jordan MacDonough of Dubuque, Ia., sends two instances to show that animals do learn by imitating each other. Bruno and Jeff were two dogs be- longing to the same family. Jeff had an extensive repertory of tricks, none of which had ever been taught to Bruno. But Bruno observed that his friend's performances was invariably rewarded with a lump of sugar or oth- er canine luxury. Accordingly, he set himself to do the same tricks, and im a short time, without any human instruction “whatever, he could beg “play dead” and roll over as obedi- ently and successfully as Jeff. __ The other instance is that of a cat, Toots by name. Toots was a stray kitten that had been adopted by a charitably disposed family, which al: ready owned a cat named Tom, so old that he had lost all his teeth, and had to hook his food from the plate and carry it to his mouth in his paw Toots watched this performance with interest. and gradually gave up eat ing in the usual way, feeding hersel! with her paw as long as Tom lived. When the older cat died the kitten re turned to her own more natural meth od of feeding.—Youth's Companion. 2735 Welton St. Main 6363 The Central Bottling & Distributing Co.

There ts generally some quite sim ple explanation of a mystery—if it can only be found out. The lamplighter at Greenfortl, near Ealing, has been puz zled for some time past by finding one of the lamps lighted every day, although he had duly turned it down. He suspects not spooks. but mischiev- ous boys, and so he prepared an am. bush. To his astonishment, as he was watching, up went the light with nev er a bo? in sight, and then he dis covered that the unauthorized lamp lighter was a tomtit which had a nest in a corner of the lamp, and in getting into it was in the habit of hopping on to the fing of the incandescent by- pass. Many years ago the writer ot this note remembers a spell of mys- tery in the shape of the mysterious ringing of a bell at intervals during the night. No human agency could be detected, and the mystery grew deep er. Possibly the Psychical Research society might have been appealed to had not chance revealed the’ fact that the ringing was caused by a rat, which used the wire as a jumping-off place.

The persecution against the Jews has a striking analysis in the ostracism and prejudice against the Negro. In both cases it is a blot upon our civilization. Nobility of character spares neither. To say that he is a Jew or Negro is enough to count any kind of contempt or discrimination. Either the Jew or a Negro may be accused of all sorts of high crimes and misdemeanors, which every sensible man knows that he never committed, yet the very accusation has its due effect in prejudicing the minds of the people and the prejudice leads to the infliction of all kinds of pain, suffering and imprisonment and even death. The prejudice in either case is based on nothing reasonable. The accident of birth is beyond our control. Both the Jew and Negro would willingly associate with other people and mix freely in their life and affairs if social barriers were cast away. But as the Jews feels the force of this class distinction it ought to bring them into greater sympathy with the Negro and Colored people ought in turn enter into deeper interest with the Jew, but, strange to say, that here the analogy ends for both of these persecuted people while not enemies of each other at least have many divergent points that they cannot coalesce. Thus is perpetrated in the world these differences, but perhaps, as the struggle becomes more intense right thinking and right acting will come to prevail. Let us hope that the Union will come very soon and all persecuted people as well as their persecutors will see that the wisdom and justice of an intelligent public opinion demands that senseless and color prejudice shall not continue in this new era of civilization and liberty loving age. SELF-DESTRUCTION hope? With Count Nogi and being their own lives, it does seem well keeping the old customs of des that is mortal of man. But for of all races and in all parts to self-destruction as a mean disgrace, poverty, ill health at there are many who argue that Their argument is not without suicide does not belong to any cl that has been with the human Is there any hope? With Count Nogi and his wife, and Mrs. Jack Johnson ending their own lives, it does seem as though the human races are still keeping the old customs of destroying the temple which contains all that is mortal of man. But for thousands of years men and women of all races and in all parts of the universe have resorted to self-destruction as a means to escape from shame, dishonor, disgrace, poverty, ill health and unrequited love, much so that there are many who argue that all men can be driven to suicide. Their argument is not without foundation when we consider that suicide does not belong to any class, kind or condition, but a malady that has been with the human family from the beginning. Even the heathen has met conditions that have made life unreasonable to him, and he has found or tried to find escape in self-destruction. All man knows is that he lives with the shadow of death constantly around him, yet nothing of his destiny does he know. No man who lives to-day can say that complete felicity awaits him and neither does he know that he is secure from self-destruction. What shall we say about the strength of our minds being able to combat successfully against whatever time has in store for us, when we know that some of the greatest minds this world has ever produced have sought death, and become advocates and monuments of suicide? Demosthenes, the world's greatest orator, resorted to hemlock rather than to surrender to his enemies, and threw his soul upon the mercies of Jove. All great men of antiquity considered death a sure escape from surrender or disgrace, and that same spirit lives yet and forever. The church and her teachings have not convinced men that a miserable existence is preferable to the things that await all men in and beyond the grave. Men and women who have led pious and Christian lives have had their minds deranged by what is supposed to be religious tendencies and mental contemplations, and slew themselves, as it appears, for the sale of religion alone. Notwithstanding the sacred injunctions of the Holy Scripture and the punishment threatened those who destroy themselves, great men with great minds have published volumes to prove that man is an irresponsible creature revolving within, prescribed limits and that beyond this he is powerless to control himself, and the action that takes his life is not his, but the operation of destructive influence. Man in his natural state despies both suicide and death; but the causes that drag him down from the pleasures of the natural way also lead him to believe that death, and even suicide, is sweeter and better than a continual longing for that which is gone for ever. No man, no woman, knows what he or she will do as a final resort, and no man knows the anguish of his neighbor's breast, nor can he realize just how little or much of relations are required to kindle in his own breast that hankering for the grave. But we do know that millions of our fellow men all over the earth have been their own murderers, and at times when no one suspected that aught was wrong with them. T Garden Party Dress.

Is it possible that elderly ladies and matrons are coming into fashion again and that staid mammas need no longer preen themselves in the gay feathers of lately escaped nestlings? Certain details of the fashion point in this direction, and among these I need only indicate the trailing gown, the small toque, the mantle coat and the popular lace wrap, all of which make for at least an appearance of maturity which is something quite different from the young girl airs of a recent time. Now, of course, most women of 40 regard themselves as quite young and sportive creatures, but there has always been an exception to this frisky rule, and some of them have never cared for "going out in their figure," as it so expressively phrased. In summer, however, it has always been admittedly difficult to find anything to wear that was loose and cool without being dowdy. Some of the new wraps seem at least to be just what we have been looking for and to take the place with older women of the ruffles which in reality are only suited to the youthful wearer. Little fichus of black lace are edged with a riffle of silk and a flounce of kilted chiffon with a ribbon finish, and tied in front with loops of satin, and these give a decorative finish to a gown. A simple fichu of fine silk lace is bordered with satin and fringed on the lower end, a chou and loops of ribbon catching it in front. Some of the capes have deep stole ends in front and others affect the form of the bolero. Mostly of chanilly or lace, there are others which are more practical and are made of face cloth arranged to fall full over the shoulders and pointed toward the waist at the back, while the fronts also meet in a point. Make Smelling Salts Smelling salts can be made at home, or, if one has already purchased a bottle, the strength can be kept up and so make the salts last much longer. To prepare a salts bottle, put in carbonate of ammonia, adding one part of any desired perfume to eight of the carbonate of ammonia. Another method is to put into a wide mouthed glass stoppered bottle small bits of fine sponge, fill with common liquid ammonia, adding a few drops of any perfume desired. As the bits of sponge dry they can be moistened time and again. Lemons for the Face. A few drops of lemon juice in the water in which the face is washed removes all greasiness and leaves the skin fresh and satiny, as well as making it fairer and clearer. A little lemon juice rubbed over the cheeks before retiring and allowed to dry will remove summer freckles and whiten the skin, and, if persisted in, will eventually carry off all blemishes of the complexion that are not caused by impure blood or other internal trouble. Walking Costume. de chine 40 inches wide, 4 yards insertion. We show on the right a costume, made of coffee-colored eponge cloth. The skirt is trimmed at sides from the foot upwards with a strap of black satin, with other straps ending in a button branching off from it. The coat is trimmed to match, and has a collar of the satin; the sleeves are short, and trimmed to correspond. FADS. Some new upright collars taper to points behind the ears. Never were there so many white shoes, or so many kins. A great use of lace is now the feature in lingerie gowns. Colored parasols with wide borders of black velvet are smart. Plain shoulder cape fichus on coats are often of light-toned silk. The popular combination for street wear is blue and cafe-au-lait. Streamers are added to some of the big bows set at the back of large hats. Bordered chiffon and marquisette are used for many lovely dance frocks. The present tendency is for big hats to grow bigger and small hats smaller. Amber has for the time being given place to the modern vogue for cut jet beads. SASH ARRANGEMENT. A The clever lines and odd sash arrangement mark this little pink linen frock for a child as Parisian. The frock is sealloped by hand at the neck and sleeve edges and fastens along one shoulder with pearl buttons. The black silk sash passes through slashes at the front of the waist and may be drown out when the frock is laundered. The Butterfly Craze There is at present a craze for butterfly effects. The design flutters on parasol tops, on smart veilings, and is worked in wonderful, iridescent effects on the new trimmings. The winged favorite is used also as shoe buckles, brooches, collure ornaments and beautiful designs are seen in enamels and simuli diamonds. Black satin and velvet butterfly bows edged with brilliants or colored stones are lively. The material is slipped into a frame, and thus any color can be added to the diamond's rimmed bow. 13 CENTS A DAY BUYS A PIANO. WITH MUSIC LESSONS FREE. PIANOS FROM $88 UP.

Kind Sir: I have taken your Twentieth Century medicine for several months, and it proved to be satisfactory, and I recommend it very highly. When I first came here I took a severe cold which brought on a violent cough with pain in my chest. After using about two packages I was entirely cured from cough and pain and am pleased to bear testimony to the virtue of your medicine. Respectfully, THERON HALLIDAY, 2117 Arapahoe St. Chicago, Ill. I was a longer, suffering for a long time. A benefited friend endorsed Bates' Twentieth Centry Wonder Tea. I took several packages of the tea and have not been troubled with my lungs since.

She died in Cheyenne, Wyo., Sunday, Sept. 15, 1912, at 7:15 p. m. Age 44 years, 3 months, 11 days. When yet a child she moved with her parents to Saline county, Mo., where she lived until she was united in marriage to the Rev. A. M. Ward, Sept. 20, 1887. For almost twenty-five years she has shared the joys, successes, burdens and sorrows of her husband in the ministerial life. To this happy union three children were born: A. Wayman, H. Vera and T. Vergil, all of whom survive her. She was happily converted and united with the church at the age of fifteen years. For more than twenty-nine years she has lived a consistent Christian life, and a faithful member of the church. For the past fifteen years her life has been consecrated and devoted to the missionary work of the church wherever it has been her lot to labor. She has been able to fire the hearts of most every member in the charges. Her missionary work was done largely in the state of Kansas where she moved with her husband immediately after her marriage. Her five years of faith work in Colorado and the Colorado conference reached its climax when she was just elected to the presidency of the work in the conference but was called to her reward ere she could assume the duties of that office. She leaves behind her a husband, fully devoted to her; three children as dear to her as her own life, one child who has been ordained to the Christian ministry, a brother, a sister, other relatives and a host of friends, who mourn her loss. Rev. Pope, the recently appointed pastor of Shorter's, had charge of the services. Rev. Washington read a portion of Scripture. Rev. Wallace read the song service. Rev. Wiseman sang a solo. Resolutions on the death of Mrs. Ward were read from the following orders: Women's Mite Missionary Society, Mrs. Ida DePriest; Stewardess Board, Mrs. Glenn; A. M. E. Sabbath School, J. C. Porter; Sewing Circle, Mrs. Linzey; Deaconess Mrs. L. Lewis; Trustee Board, Mrs. Glenn, Taka Art, Mrs. Theta Miller; Eastern Star, Mrs. J. R. Contee. Solo by Mrs. Lillian Jones. Obituary read by Rev. Holmes. Sermon was delivered by Rec. J. C. C. Owens, who had known the deceased for a number of years. Solo by Miss Jennie Hicks. There was a profusion of flowers, the gifts of friends who honored, loved and admired the deceased. Interment was at Fairmount cemetery. Lawhorn Undertaking Co. in charge. RESOLUTIONS Resolutions of the Ministerial Alliance of Denver. Whereas, it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst and to take unto himself the wife of our co-laborer and the friend of humanity, Mrs. Elnora Crosby Ward; and Whereas, Mrs. Ward had, by reason of her devoted and devout life, so deared herself, not only to Shorter Chapel, of which her husband was pastor, but to the churches of the city and community as well; and Whereas, in her death the cause of Christ suffers an irreparable loss; be it Resolved: That the Ministerial Alliance of Denver, of which Rev. A. M. Ward is an honored and faithful member, tender him and his bereaved children its deepest and sincerest sympathy, and prays that in this sad hour of their bereavement and loss that they may be sustained by His grace and resigned to His will, who hath said, "I will never leave nor forsake thee." Be it further Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions appear in "The Statesman," "The Colorado Statesman," and the "Independent," and a copy given the family. R. L. POPE, A. E. REYNOLDS, H. FRANKLIN BRAY, Committee. Denver, Colo., Sept. 18, 1912. We, the members of the Deaconesses board of Shorter A. M. E. Church, tender the following resolutions: Whereas, it has pleased the Ruler of the universe to take from our midst our beloved co-worker, Sister E. N. Ward; Resolved, That we extend to our presiding elder and family our deepest sympathy in this their sad hour of bereavement. Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding, O'er the spirit that death has won, We would at the solemn meeting Calmly say, Thy will be done. Though cast down, we are not forsaken, Though afflicted, not alone. Thou didst give and thou hast taken. Blessed Lord thy will be done. Resolved, That a copy of the resolutions be sent the bereaved family, one to the papers of Denver; also that they be recorded in the minutes of the Deaconesses Board.

COLORADO IS A WET STATE And Denver with its regulated policy should see to it that it is kept in the wet column. Take for instance New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, where the policy is to encourage the investors. They are all prosperous and are gaining in population. The open policy of these cities keep them far in the lead of more restricted municipalities. It is a known fact that wherever sportsmen gather in any considerable number the conditions are always better for our people, as they can more readily secure employment. Prohibition is not calculated to encourage anyone to come here, unless they wish to come and fight against those who have their money invested in liquor and brewery business. We must not loose sight of this fact. As stated in The Colorado Statesman several years ago, the Anti-Saloon League is merely the advance guard of the Prohibition army, its duty is to feel the public pulse, after which they await the coming of the dry host, who will fight to the last ditch "regardless of cost," to destroy instead of regulating the liquor business. Post yourselves on the question of prohibition. Study its effect in states where it has been adopted and it will convince you that prohibition should not be adopted in Colorado; unless you want to see the state put on the bum.

Although It Causes Fewer Violent Deaths Than Any Other Foe of American, It Is Feared Most They agree that your danger from the celestial artillery depends principally upon the locality in which you live, and your shelter at the time of the storm. The weather bureau, by careful observation and tabulation, discovers our zone of greatest danger from lightning to include an irregular area of the east, covering all the Atlantic coast states from Massachusetts to Virginia, inclusive, and biting inland until it takes in southern Vermont, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and eastern Illinois. Thunderstorms therein are more fatal though less frequent than in the Gulf states. If you wish to escape thunderstorms almost entirely, pitch your tent upon the Pacific slope, where such storms are practically unknown. Or, if required to dwell within the danger zone, select for your castle a house in the midst of a city block with continuous tin roofs connected to well anchored waterspouts. The fact that lightning annually strikes four times as many people of outdoor occupations as people in general emphasizes the wisdom of keeping indoors during such disturbances. But if caught in the open bear in mind that you are far safer in the dense heart of a wood than at its outskirts, and that the shelter of a single tree is particularly treacherous, especially if near the edge of a body of water, even a ditch. But if you must be near a tree, seek the companionship of the beech, which is struck least often of all, and avoid particularly the oak, which attracts lightning more than any other. The oak is hit fifty-seven, the fir thirty-nine and the pine five times as often as the beech. Avoid above all else a tree or other shelter where under a group of men or beasts are huddled together. While in the shadow of the thunderhead, monarch of all clouds, be exclusive. The weather bureau also warns you against doorways, particularly of barns and atables; also a house connected with a metallic clothes line. While successful in tabulating the destructive and fatal effects of lightning and, by deduction, formulating such common-sense rules as the above, our weather bureau, in common with other great meteorological institutions, finds the force behind the fiery cannon balls and projectiles of Jupiter Pluvius too illusive and vagarious to be reduced to law. For years the bureau has been gleaning from all parts of the world reports describing the eccentricities of this awe-inspiring phenomenon, of, which Flammarion has said: "It is like an elementary spirit, eccentric or rational, clever or silly, farseeing or blind, headstrong or indifferent, passing from one extreme to the other. It wriggles through space, it moves among men with surprising agility, appearing and disappearing like lightning." But the most weird of all lightning pranks on record is that of killing a man and leaving him standing erect, as in life. Such a phenomenon was lately reported by a Canadian observer, C. Ballarge, who near Beaumont saw a man struck by a thunderbolt while walking in a field. Although dead, he remained motionless, standing with one foot in front of the other in the attitude of taking a step. PRESIDENT FOR A DAY. In the talk about electing presidents of the United States it is recalled that Senator David Rice Atchison of Clay county, Mo., claimed the unique distinction of holding the office of president of the United States for one day. The terms of office of President James K. Polk and of Vice-President George M. Dallas terminated by limitation on Saturday night at midnight, March 4, 1849. Gen. Zachary Taylor, Polk's successor was not inaugurated until Monday, March 5, 1849. Senator Atchison was at the time president pro tem, of the United States senate. The expiration of vice-President Dallas' term left a vacancy to which Senator Atchison instantly succeeded. This made him ex-officio vice-president of the United States, but at the same instant there was likewise a vacancy in the presidential office, to which in turn Atchison instantly succeeded. FAVORS A RETIREMENT LAW. "If there were a retirement law for the clerks employed by Uncle Sam in the various departments at Washington, the civil service would not be cluttered up by a small army of aged and inefficient clerks," said W. R. Hayes, former congressman from Nebraska, the other day. "As it is now, no head of a department or bureau chief will discharge a man or woman who has been a faithful worker for 30 years or more, because old age has impaired the usefulness of the employee. As a result, there are hundreds, if not thousands, who are kept on the rolls merely as a matter of humanity. If dismissed they would in many instances be thrown upon the charity of the world, for it is utterly out of the question that private employment could be obtained for them. The stupidity of the clerks themselves has been one of the chief reasons why a liberal retirement law has failed of passage for all these years. The clerks can never agree on any policy among themselves. Many of them obstinately contend that the government has no right to withhold a dollar of their salaries to go into a pension fund for retired clerks, ignoring the recognized improvidence of that large per cent. of employees who never save a penny of their salaries, it would be an act of beneficence toward this class if a portion of their wages was regularly retained. "Unquestionably, it would be cheaper for the government to give a pension outright to those whose faculties are decayed, and to put young and vigorous people in the place of the superannuated. Every other first-class nation in the world save the United States has some kind of pension scheme for its civil servants, that of Canada, especially, being a model." MICROBE LOST HOPE A lonely microbe, disheartened and ready to die because the public health service is rapidly putting all his ilk where they can do humanity no harm, peeked over the edge of Assistant Surgeon General George Rucker's desk the other day and heard the doctor humming a ditty that went like this: "A fly and a flea, a mosquito and a louse, all lived together in a very dirty house. The flea spread the plague and the skeeter spread the chills. All louse spread typhus, too. Folks in bills. The fly spread typhoid and the louse spread typhus, too. Folks in that house were a mighty sickly crew. Along came a man and he cleaned up the house. He screened out the skeeters and swatted the louse. The fly and the flea he cracked on the wall. Now the people in that house are never sick at all." "Well," piped up the microbe, "that's all right as far as it goes, but it strikes me you've been a bit partial in this thing. How about the bedbug? Where does he get off?" "He's going to get off pretty quick," returned the doctor. "So far the bedbug has been able to prove an alib, but I've put the sanitary detective on his trail and I'll get him yet." Whereupon the microbe, seeing the jig was up, committed suicide by jumping into the inkwell. 11,221,624,084 CIGARETTES If cigarette smoking is as deadly as some of the antis make out, this country will soon be inhabited exclusively by imbeciles. During the fiscal year 1912, the tidy number of 11,221,621,084 cigarettes was smoked in this country, an average of about 128 for every man, woman and child. Inasmuch as not all men and women and few children before the walking age smoke cigarettes, the average consumption for those who do is considerably larger than 128. This eleven billion odd is an increase of two billions over the consumption of 1911, and Secretary MacVeagh and his department officials confess they cannot explain this vast jump. LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING DISCON CONTINUED. Secretary Franklin MacVeigh will not permit any more chafing dish parties in the Treasury building. The noonday parties, the daily teas and dalton hot luncheons have been discontinued. For many years clerks of the treasury have made merry over the chafing dish at noon, but there will be no more of that and everybody will have to go out to get lunch. The sanitary committee of the department recommended that the secretary have the little eating parties discontinued and all cooking utensils removed. Light housekeeping in Uncle Sam's money chest is a thing of the past. Driving an Alligator: Using a child's toy wagon and allowing himself to be drawn about by an alligator, is one of the queer methods adopted by a German sportsman to win a wager, says Popular Mechanics. He claimed in a conversation with a friend that there were no less than 10,000 methods of locomotion, and in the dispute that followed he wagered that he could prove it. The bet was taken up by the friend and a trip around the world was undertaken to try out all the various kinds of transportation, and incidentally to devise some new ones. The alligator stunt was carried out at the alligator farm at Los Angeles, Cal. Worry and Work. Wiggs—Worry kills more people than work Wagg—Quite natural! there are more people worrying than working. LORD CAVENDISH PREFERS U. S. MAIDS TO BEARS Lord John Compton baron of Chesham, and som's 10,000 acres of the land which fell to Sir William Cavendish in the dissolution of the monastery lands in Cardinal Wolsey's time, is in America passing eighteen - year-old judgment on American girls. He is preparing to follow in the footsteps of his elder brother of the land which fell to Sir William Cavendish in the dissolution of the monastery lands in Cardinal Wolsey's time, is in America passing eighteen-year-old judgment on American girls. He is preparing to follow in the footsteps of his elder brother Charles William Hugh, in the army, who died at the head of the Seventeenth Lancers at Diamond Hills. A tall, rangy lad, yellow-haired and blue-eyed, the Baron Chesham would be typically American if he might exchange a slight English accent for a few pieces of American slang. His first announcement was that, while primarily interested in American girls, he had never been exposed to the love bug, and did not intend to select the future Lady Chesham until after he had served his term in the army. The announcement followed a direct and personal question intended to be leading. "More than anything else I have noticed your American girls, and I think them ripping, more interesting and more human, though not so pretty, perhaps, as the English girls, and—but, I say, old fellow, this won't be printed in London. What? "You know they have picked me for a military career over home, and if they knew I was looking over the American girls they would send the Coldstream Guards after me." Lord Chesham had just returned from a fishing and hunting trip through British Columbia and is on his way home. Press "cuttings" told of his bagging grizzles single-handed. "I say, you fellows are wonderful guessers," he laughed, as he looked over some of the "cuttings." "I shot a pheasant and a sparrow and caught some fish which uncle said were so small that I ought to throw them back, and I did." Uncle, by the way, is Colonel William Edwin Cavendish, lieutenant colonel of the Grenadier Guards. The Colonel and Mrs Cavendish and Miss Bettine Cavendish, like her cousin, more American than English, accompany the young baron. "I like your country and wish I could stay a while, but uncle seems to think he had better get me back to Buckingham before I elope with some of these pretty girls. But, you know, I haven't met one of them." The Baron comes of one of the oldest and wealthiest of English families of the nobility. He is a descendant of the first Earl of Burlington and the First Duke of Devonshire, a cousin of the eighth Duke of Devonshire and of the latter's brother, Lord Cavendish, Chief Secretary of Ireland, who was murdered in Phoenix Park, Dublin, by the revolutionary faction known as the "Invincibles." A KENTUCKY HEIRESS DOING CHARITY WORK The fact that she is a wealthy heir- ess does not cause Miss Rebecca Gor- don Averill of Frankfort. Ky., to lead an idle, useless life. On the contrary, she is one of the most active women in her state, in the cause of suffering humanity. Miss Averill is noted in her city for the splendid work she is doing for the children of Frank- fort's Tenderloin district Every day, from 9 until 2 o'clock, she may be found in a house in the slums, where she conducts a free kindergarten for children. Here are gathered a happy company of little waifs from homes of poverty and squalor. With the gracious and kindly southern lady to guide them, the children learn how to do many useful things. They also receive clean clothing and are given nourishing food. In addition to the kindergarten work, Miss Averill conducts a class for mothers, and one afternoon each week the women of the district gather in the cozy clubrooms; there to enjoy a social chat, some good music, and incidentally to receive instruction in many household matters and subjects pertaining to child rearing. Thinks Baths Not Necessary. Not having taken a bath in twenty years is the record of Ezekiel Parker, a farmer living in the northern part of Craven county, N. C. Several days ago he related the cause of his absence from the tub for such a long time. "When I was a youngster," said Mr. Parker. "my mother took a delight in having me take a bath every day in the year. Rain or shine, hot or cold. I was compelled to immerse myself in the tub. After my mother dled I took no more baths. My health began to improve after I stopped bathing so much and there is not a man in this country who is more healthy than I am." Mr Parker is almost a giant in size. His face is ruddy and he looks the perfect picture of health and from all outward appearance will live to a ripe old age The recent grant by Mrs. Thomas Fortune Ryan to the Convent of the Holy Child at, Suffern, N. Y., of property valued at $250,000 serves to draw attention to the splendid work this noble woman is doing in behalf of religion, education and humanity. The property at Suffern consists of a fine mansion and 18 acres of ground, and will be used Suffern, N. Y., of property valued at $250,000 serves to draw attention to the splendid work this noble woman is doing in behalf of religion, education and humanity. The property at Suffern consists of a fine mansion and 18 acres of ground, and will be used by the nuns as an academy for young women. These sisters have their mother house in England. Their largest convent in the United States is at Sharon Hill, near Philadelphia. Mrs. Ryan's gift to the Holy Child nuns follows a long list of benefactions to the Catholic church and to non-sectarian institutions. These include a million dollar cathedral, rectory and other buildings at Richmond, Va.; a school and a wing to a hospital at Richmond; three Catholic churches in other Virginia towns; a chapel for the Jesuits at St. Andrewson-Hudson; a chapel at Tucson, Ariz, and funds for the support of other chapels in Arizona, New Mexico and Indian Territory; the endowment of rooms for sick telephone girls and nurses at various hospitals; scholarships at four colleges and four convents; a hospital and a chapel for the Sisters of Charity costing $150,000 at Suffern; a hospital for consumptives near Phoenix, Ariz.; the establishment of the Order of the Perpetual Adoration in this country and a convent and chapel for the order at Washington, D. C.; the building of monuments on all the battlefields of Virginia, the state in which Mrs. Ryan and her husband were born, and a great many gifts to institutions throughout the country which are devoted to fighting tuberculosis. Mrs. Ryan's gifts to charity years ago came to the attention of the pope and the Papal court has made known its gratitude to her for her charities many times. In 1904 she was decorated by Pope Plus X. "NEWLY RICH" OVERRUN FASHIONABLE NEWPORT2 "The fashionable cities of the east, as Newport and Bar Harbor, have become so overcrowded and over-run with people of every class that the better class of folks are destrous of making some other place their headquarters." PETER "There is no use hiding or trying to hide the fact that people of fashion have no proper place in which to live in America. It is not that they are exclusive. It is not that they are particular. People who have money—and money is easily made in America—are not necessarily fit associates for cultivated people. "But with their money they are able to get property close by the homes of people who do not wish to associate with them, and, therefore, the latter must move or be regarded as snobs. There are today many common people with money enough to buy homes in refined residence places—and most of them have done so. I do not mean to reflect upon the common people, for they are necessary to the economic development of the world, but I am not compelled to have social relations with people whom I do not like," declares I. Townsend Burden, Jr. Townsend Burden, who is a member of Meadowbrook and Rockaway clubs and one of the best known polo players in America, about 18 months ago married Miss Florence Sheedy, of Denver, Colo., the wedding being made notable by a check for $1,500,000 given the bride as her dower by her father. Beyond Even Ty Cobb. The baseball reporter's English is weird and wonderful, says the Washington Star, and apropos of it there is a story about the great Ty Cobb. In a New York hotel two college professors watched Ty Cobb bent over a newspaper. "Look at that poor fellow's frowns and mutterings," said the first professor. "with that journal." "Yes." said the other, "he can't make it out. you know." "Can't make it out, eh? Can't even read! These baseball players! I knew they were an uneducated lot." "Oh," said the other. "Ty's educated all right enough; but that's the baseball page he's got there." Oldest Riddle Known The oldest riddle known is that one asked by Samson, in Judges 14:14-18: "Out of the eater came forth meat. and out of the strong came sweetness." It was naturally impossible for the guests at his wedding feast to solve the riddle, for it referred to that very uncommon incident of the bees making honey in the carcass of a lion. The old translators used the word meat in the sense of food, its real meaning in the seventeenth century. This riddle dates from possibly a thousand years before the Christian era, and is evidence of the very ancient custom of telling riddles or asking difficult questions.

He had been promised a degree of happiness here and he had failed, as usual, to find it. “Say, mister,” sald a small voice, “I wish you wouldn't knock the heads off these flowers. 1 want about a bushel of daisies to decorate our schoolroom tomorrow. Miss Cynthia's invited the board to hear us speak.” “Cynthia?” questioned Bob, wonder- ingly. “Cynthia who?” “She's just Miss Cynthia, that's all,” answered Jimmy Green. “She's about the best looker we ever had in this county. Pa said so, and pa knows.” “Does she teach school?” “You bet she does and we're learn- ing, too, ‘cause we love her so we just study our heads off to see her smile,” said Jimmy boyishly. “You must be Mrs. Collfer’s brother, visiting over ut Three Oaks. My pa is the gardener there.” “You've guessed right. What's your name?” “Jimmy Green. Green and gardens go together, pa says.” “Well, they ought to, at any rate. ¢ Now, Jimmy, where do you g0 to school?” “I don't ifke to tell you ‘cause pa sald to me, ‘I hope Mrs. Collier's brother don't see Miss Cynthia, Jimmy, for she’s too pretty not to catch any man who sees her and you're learning so well at school, I don’t want you to have to change teachers.’ Pa'’s right about ‘that. Why, her face is just the color of the apple blossoms over in your sister’s orchard.” Jimmy pondered for a second. “Seems like I ought to answer you civil, you being a stranger here, The schoolhouse is about a ‘quarter of a mile straight down this road. She's there all right, Miss Cynthia is. She's keeping Petle Mur- phy and Tom Vance in to learn their speeches for tomorrow?” Cynthia! What a train of mem- ories and pleasant dreams the word conjured up for Bob Lawrence, who thanked Jimmy for his information and kept on down the road toward the schoolhouse. This time the way- side flowers were free from his bruis- ing cane. He was thinking—thinkihg intently of the only girl who had ever stirred any emotion in his heart. She, too, was called Cynthia, and her cheeks were like the apple blossoms in his sister’s orchard. He had met her almost a year before, a few hours out from Liverpool. She had been touring the continent with a very wealthy aunt. The girl's beauty had attracted him at once, and later her superb health had been added to her Uist of other charms, She was the only woman on board, so the steward fiad told him, who did not miss a meal. ‘The last night out there had been moon. Lawrence recalled how eager- ly he had waited for her on deck while she went for a wrap after din- ner. They had stood together watch- ing the moonlight on the phosphores- cent waves and listening to the soft strains of a Hungarian waltz. His love for her, none the less intense because of {ts short duration, had stirred him mightily, and he had spoken of that love and asked her to marry him. “No,” she had answered, forcing back his arms, “it is not possible. We belong to different worlds.” “What difference would that make, 1f it were true?” he had demanded. “What do you mean by different worlds?” “You have money,” she had told him. “I belong to the broken down aristocracy of the south: I work for my lving. Aunt Lydia took me for this trip because I was her brother's child and she was sorry for my poverty.” He remembered with bit terness how he had begged, stormed and argued, but all to no purpose, for Cynthia had remained deaf to his en- treaties, protesting that his people would be disappointed. When they landed, although he had tried to find out where she lived and follow her, she evaded him. His pride stirred then, and he had turned to his work determined to forget the girl, “put in that, too, he had failed. The following spring his sister wrote to him. “Your letters sound as if you were blue, so leave your affairs—they are too enormous for a young man, anyway—and come to visit me for ten days, The fishing is fine near here, and you can count on mending your depressed spirits.” ‘A-voice, young and vehement, broke into his meditation. “Yes'm, I'll do my best. Both of us will, won't we, Tom?" Lawrence looked about him. There was the schoolhouse, and out the door rushed the two scholars who had been Kept in to learn their speeches. He watched them out of sight, wondering what excuse he could offer to the eantry teacher if he dared go to the “I will," ssid Lawrence promptly. “Why did you run away from me in New York?” “II had to go. I mean that I had to come home. I told you enough to make you want to give me up, any- way.” “That is impossible. I can never stop wanting you.” “Do you really care for me lke that?” she questioned, grave gray eyes on bis face. “I love you go that nothing else matters, and you—you put me aside for a mere whim, a fancy,” said Law- Fence, the sight of her beauty setting ‘his pulses on fire again. “How can you treat me #0?” He dropped into one of the scarred Uttle seats and leaned over on the desk marked with many a jackknife and pencil, “How did you find me—here?” “Jimmy Green showed me the way,” answered Lawrence. Cynthia moved nearer and stood looking down on the bowed black head. “Why were you crying when I came?” asked Lawrence, noticing the motion. “Because——" Cynthia waited for her heart to, quit its stormy beating, but It would not, and she went brave- ly on—“because I was thinking about you, and I was afraid that I would never sce you again.” “Cynthia, do you mean that?” Law- Tence was up facing her. “Do you mean that and all that it implies? Do you love me?” “Yes,” sald Cynthia brokenly, “I think that I have always loved you.” “When will you marry me? To: night?” “Tomorrow after school,” laughed Cynthia happily. “T have lately come into some money; quite a lot. I am not @ pauper any more.” “You never were a pauper so long as you were you.” “I'm so sorry, Bob. I have to 50 to a dinner tonight at Mrs. Collier's. Her brother is coming—I forgot to ask his name—and she is most anxious to have me meet him. She is my best friend, and I can’t disappoint her. 1'l ring her up and ask if I can't take you.” ’ “11 have to be there, and I'm go- ing to take you. Now you see how heartily my family approves of you after all,” laughed Lawrence, holding her close in his arms. “I am the ex pected brother.” “Why, Bob! Is {t possible? Only last week I told her all about you; that is, everything except your name." “Which will soon be yours, too,” promised Lawrence emphatically. “Say, Miss Cynthia,” came a voice from the open door where Jimmy Green stood grinning at them, “ain't you holding an extry session today?” “II don’t know,” said the embar rassed school teacher. “She has a new pupll, oné thal she will have to teach all her life and she has just been breaking hin in,” answered Lawrence, smiling tc see the apple blossom pink of Cyn thia’s cheelss turn to crimson. (Copyright, 1912, by Associated) Literary HIS ARGUMENT WON ATHEIST Perhaps Not Strictly Ethical, but It Accomplished What the Rector Set Out to Do. In raising money to pay for a new church @ preacher sometimes has to shut his eyes to the dollars tossed into the plate or slipped into the du: plex envelopes. Dr. Robert Nelson Spencer, rector of Trinity Episcopal church, tells this story about a broth: er clergyman who once went a bit further: This rector, Dr. Spencer says, was so hard put to it that he decided to solicit funds from an atheist saloon: keeper, who was reputed to be the wealthiest man in the district. One day, when the rector and the saloonist, with whom he was well acquainted, met on the street, the churchman put the question good and strong. “J don’t believe in the church; it hurts my business,” retorted the booze merchant, with indignation in his voice. “Now, Tom,” returned the rector, in his most conciliatory manner, “listen to reason. I maintain that if it wasn’t for the church you wouldn't have a chance in the world. The church is the ploneer of civilization, and where the beacon of modern en- lightenment burns dimly or not at all the saloon is unknown. “Suppose you triedsto open a ‘joint’ in darkest Africa.” he went on, with a gocd imitation of enthusiasm. “What would those cannibals do to you the first time one of their number got a drink at your bar and appeared be fcre his tribe intoxicated? Why, sir, they would burn you for a witch; that’s what they would do.” ‘The saloon-keever, Dr. Spencer says. signed up for $500 and later joined the church with all his family.—Kan- ‘sas City Journal. Greatest Novel. “what {s the greatest novel?” is a question that admits of almost as many answers as there are types of mind. “Ten Thousand a Year,” “Don Quixote,” “William Melster,” “ Tris- tram Shandy,” “The Cloister and the Hearth,” “The Scarlet Letter,” “Ivan- hoe,” “On the Heights,” “Robert Els- mere,” “Looking Backward,” and a hundred others are great novels, and each one of them fs the “greatest nov- el” to somebody. It all depends upon the tempeg of soul and cast of mind in the particular individual. The novel that produces the greatest Impression upon you and gives you the greatest all-round satisfaction is for you the “greatest novel.” It might not be the greatest to another MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF ONE “LIKE MOTHER MADE.” The Manner in which it Disappeared Kicked up All Kinds of Disturb- ance at the South End of the Capitoi—Waiter Confesses. Not many days ago the members of the press who have the distinction of belonging to the house press gallery were given a rare treat In form of = two or three crates Oe WWW were ° ceorsia peaches A 1h ffi} There are many NT ATi kinds ot Georgia Patt esi Se crated for the bene- Rae fit of the press gallery, or any one ACUTE Ro Ve gallery, or any one else, and come one in a package—but we digress, this is a story of a peach ple. It can best be told in the language of a richly en dowed wielder of the pen of the Washington Times. We therefore quote: The dramatis personae of this af- fair are: Col. Charles H. Mann, superintend- ent of the house press gallery; Col. B. Jesse Conway of the Associated Press: Howard L. Acton of the Washington bureau of the Cincinnat! Times-Star; Frank B. Lord of the International News Service. One peach pie. One colored waiter. Certain hungry by- standers in shape of newspaper men. messengers, house attaches, and members of congress, The story concerns the mysterious disappearance of the peach pie. or rather a large part of it. Its disap- pearance has kicked up all manner of disturbance at the south end of the capitol. Colonel Mann {s an old Virginia cav- alryman. Colonel Conway put in some years in the regular army in the Philippines. Both know something of the gentle art of foraging, and both understand the importance of subsis: tence in a campaign. So the other day when a member of congress sent to the press gallery two large boxes of fine peaches, the two veterans selected certain of the peaches and quietly took them down to the house restaurant and gave in- structions to have a ple constructed after those plans and specifications such as mother used to follow so suc- cessfully. The ple was to be two inches thick and with other dimen- sions in proportion. All went well for a time. The ple was a success. At noon Colonel Mann and Colonel Conway sat them down to- gether and each ate one-fourth of the ple. It was smothered in cream. Colonel Mann was heard to remark to Colonel Conway, as each bent behind a bastion of pie: “Gee, I wish some of them fellows could see us.” Having eaten a square meal of pie. they gave orders for Its conservation in the tce box until 4 o'clock. Then they were once more to advance to the attack. It was not long after this that Colonel Mann, up in the house press gallery, was heard to make cer- tain remarks commisserating folks who were so unfortunate as not to be able to eat real ple. He also let fall certain observations about the ple he would eat at 4 o'clock. About 2 o'clock, according to the testimony, Howard L. Acton dropped gently down into the house restau rant. Mr. Acton {s an accomplished young man, with an indurated coun: tenance, a steely eye, a handsome and yet mephistophelian cast of feature and a capacity for slelght of hand that would make old Hermann the great co chase himself round the block. Mr. Acton stepped into the restaurant sineled out the right waiter, and said: “Mr, Mann told me to come down here and get a piece of that peach ple over there in the refrigerator.” “Yassah,” sald the waiter. “And bring some cream with 1t,” quoth Mr. Acton. “Yassah.” Presently Mr. Acton was commun: ing with one-fourth of the Mann-Con- wav peach ple. Soon Mr. Love hove in sight. “Frank.” said Mr. Acton, standine up from behind a rampart of ple, “tell the walter Charley Mann said you could have that plece of ple orer there in the Ice box.” Mr. Lord duly advised the waiter that he had come on a mission of pie as an envoy of Colonel Mann. Presently there was no ple. It was good nie while {t lasted. Mr. Acton and Mr. Lord agreed to that. They got through about 3 p.m. and paid the waiter each a nickel for the cream. Accounts vary as to whether they tipped the waiter. Punctually at 4 o'clock Colonel Mann and Colonel Conway appeared in the house restaurant. They sat down. They awaited ple. The ple did not come. An investt- gation was ordered, and then It de- veloped there was no ple, and the waiter. under the third degree, broke down and confessed. Uniquely Dressed. Represntative Cyrus A. Sulloway of New Hampshire, the tallest and larg- est member of the House of Repre- tentatives, was uniquely dressed the other day. He wore a large brimmed panama hat, a Prince Albert coat. with trousers to match, russet colored bedroom slippers “and pale yellow socks. Uncle Cy likes not a hard shoe. CAPITAL CAR TICKETS. SAFE Between 80,000,000 and 90,000,000 Are Used Annually by Washing- tonilans. No tokens of value issued by any concera in Washington come so near being actual hard cash as do the street car tickets, which sell six for a quarter. The stock market may go up or down; the cost of living may fluctuate; interest rates may vary; the purchasing power of that standard of al} values, gold itself, may be more today than tomorrow; but through it all, in hard times and good times alike, the little coupons cost just the same and get the buyer just as much. Like postage stamps, they have a fixed price, below which no one can buy them and above which no one can sell them. Like postage stamps, also, they are “good for one fare,” In the very act of giving which they are canceled at once, and their usefulness is gone for- ever. Millions of dollars are represented by these humble bits of pasteboard. Betwen 80,000,000 and 90,000,000 of them—almost one for every person in the United States—are circulated in the district every year. In all, be- tween 8) and 85 per cent of all money recetved by these companies for the transportation of passengers in the district 1s first exchanged for car tick- ets, which are accepted unquestion- ably by all conductors. Washington street railroad offictals jattribute the entire immunity from imitation which their tickets enjoy to the great care with which they are gotten up, as well as the strict meth- ‘ods of accounting for all those issued. These causes, of course, are in addi- tion to the severe penalties which the law visits upon counterfeiting. WHY ARE HOLES IN CHEESE? Experts at the Bureau of Animal In- dustry Tell All About ‘thei, Why are the holes in cheese? This is no midsumer “gag” or mere conun- drum, but a serious query just put forth by the United States Department of Agriculture in @ bulletin issued by the bureau of an{mal industry. Did you, victim of the Swiss cheese habit, ever stop to consider why the holes, what makes them and what do they contain? The next time you or- der a cheese sandwich remember the following facts about the gases that cause their formation and if you are terrorized by the scientific terminol- ogy be careful not to eat the holes: ‘The gases of Pra “eyes” in Em- mental cheese are exclusively carbon dioxide and nitrogen and of these only the carbon dioxide 1s of significance. There sometimes occurs during the initial fermentation a gas character- 4zed by the presence of hydrogen. This 1s believed to be due to the gaseous fermentation of sugar. ‘The two fermentations are distinct and are characterized by their gas- eous products. The one 1s detrimen- tal, the other that demanded of a good Emmental cheese. High oxygen-absorbing power com- bined with low permeability of the cheese to air renders the interior thoroughly anaerobic and consequent- ly favorable to the growth of anaero- bie bacteria. A comparison between the amount of carbon dioxide evolved and the to- tal of volatile fatty acids shows that the activity of the propionic bacteria of Von Freudenreich and Jensen 1s not sufficient to account for all the carbon dioxide found. SCHOOL CHILDREN KILL FLIES Millions of the Pests Are Slain by Capital Tots Who Win Prizes. Approximately 10,000.000 files have been killed by Wasfifngton school chil- dren during the last two months and the war of extermination is going on merrily, The children expect to mur- der at least two million more before cool weather comes.

"Buy Your China and Glassware Right" GOVERNOR WILSON OPPOSED TO STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION (Certain persons and organizations have asked for a vote on the question of STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION. A vote will be taken on this proposition at the election to be held in this state on November 5, 1912.) W. A. B. WOODROW WILSON. fous letters received from license question, Government and declares him enactments. BUGH BELIEVER INSELF-GOVERNMENTS A LOCAL UNITROL THE MATTER OF LICENSES. FOR WARD FOR LAW, HYDRA proclamation will be offered his stamp of endorse and advises against suing to foist upon the people of diversified situation by different people on general prohibition policies in this state would such communities as Double Creek, Leadville, for their cities in that communities would not pass is extended to the privilege of admiss of such a course. Se saloons from any county the local sentiment can be enforced with ever, wherever the local law cannot be enforced. License question throws legal option laws that bearable error to discard or so well proven a f PROHIBITION QU In response to numerous letters received from citizens of Maine asking for his views on the license question, Governor Wilson has declared in favor of LOCAL OPTION and declares himself opposed to STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION enactments. By Governor Wilson: "I AM A THOROUGH BELIEVE IN LOCAL SELF-GROW MUNITY CONSTITUTES A LOG THE RIGHT TO CONTROL THE WITHHOLDING OF LICENSE MAKES FOR DISREGARD FOR FICATION." Governor Wilson's proclamation this state for he has placed his state LOCAL OPTION law and advises hibitionists are attempting to foist us. Colorado is a state of diverse communities, populated by different habits. To attempt to fix a general prentments of all communities in this folly. The voters in such commun Springs, Trinidad, Cripple Creek, state, know what is best for their granting of licenses, and if they prohibition in their communities w to have the same choice as is exten ties who are now extended the prince even a majority approves of such a. The right to vote the saloons is freely conceded and where the local liquor a prohibitory law can be en accomplishment. However, wherev prohibition, a prohibitory law can enforcement proves ineffectual. We now decide the license quo of the most modern local option and it would be a lamentable error LOCAL OPTION law for so well PROHIBITION. VOTE NO ON THE PROHIBITION YES NO "I AM A THOROUGH BELIEVER IN LOCAL OPTION. I BELIEVE IN LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT, THAT EVERY COMMUNITY CONSTITUTES A LOCAL UNIT AND SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL THE MATTER OF REGULATION OR WITHHOLDING OF LICENSES. FORCED PROHIBITION MAKES FOR DISREGARD FOR LAW, HYPOCRISY AND NULLIFICATION." Governor Wilson's proclamation will be of interest to the voters of this state for he has placed his stamp of endorsement upon our present LOCAL OPTION law and advises against such legislation as the prohibitionists are attempting to foist upon the people of Colorado. Colorado is a state of diversified situations. We have different communities, populated by different people of different customs and habits. To attempt to fix a general prohibition policy to meet the requirements of all communities in this state would be the quintessence of folly. The voters in such communities as Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Trinidad, Cripple Creek, Leadville, and other cities of this state, know what is best for their cities in the matter of involving the granting of licenses, and if they decide that an attempt to establish prohibition in their communities would not prove feasible they ought to have the same choice as is extended to the voters in other communities who are now extended the privilege of adopting prohibition when even a majority approves of such a course. The right to vote the saloons from any community in this state is freely conceded and where the local sentiment is opposed to the sale of liquor a prohibitory law can be enforced with a considerable degree of accomplishment. However, wherever the local sentiment is opposed to prohibition, a prohibitory law can not be enforced and any attempt at enforcement proves ineffectual. We now decide the license question through the operation of one of the most modern local option laws that has as yet been enacted; and it would be a lamentable error to discard our present efficacious LOCAL OPTION law for so well proven a failure as STATE-W!DE PROHIBITION. VOTE NO ON THE PROHIBITION QUESTION. WILL MR. LAUGHAUM OF THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE EXPLAIN? Superintendent Laughbaum of the Anti-Saloon League is speaking in the various communities of Colorado and he tells his auditors that state-wide prohibition is a success in Oklahoma. Read what the Daily Oklahoma has to say on this subject. (From the Daily Oklahoma, August 22, 1912): ditions upon the state of Can the fact that he is be his activity have any best attitude? COLORADO BUSINESS HOME RULE THE FARCE GOES ME Just one report from F seizures made of con rab route to Oklahoma tells o cation of a shipment of co "Nearly two hundred persons in Oklahoma City have paid a tax to the federal government so that the federal officers will not disturb these two hundred persons for selling liquor. Now then, why haven't the enforcement of officers found out who these persons are and why haven't they taken action that they swore they would take? How long will present conditions continue? This is a campaign year. Possibly candidates for public officers don't want to antagonize the bootleggers, but are the people satisfied to have public officials enforce a few laws and neglect others. Ask yourself if you are proud of the officials who have sworn to enforce the law, yet permit three times as many saloons in Oklahoma City as we had before we had the prohibitory law." Oklahoma's prohibitory law is being openly and notoriously violated, and Mr. Laughbaum knows this to be true. Why would he force such con- ```markdown ``` ditions upon the state of Colorado? Can the fact that he is being paid for his activity have any bearing on his attitude? COLORADO BUSINESS MEN'S HOME RULE LEAGUE. THE FARCE GOES MERRILY ON. Just one report from Fort Smith of seizures made of con raband liquor en route to Oklahoma tells of the confiscation of a shipment of coffins loaded with five-gallon jugs of whiskey concealed in a load of wood, in a box of merchandise billed to a woman's name, and supposed to contain dry goods, and in a box of books, which last would have gone through unsuspected, but that the "literature" sprang a leak. And so the farce goes on of attempting to enforce state-wide prohibition laws which never have been enforced, never will be and never can be in communities where public sentiment opposes them. Meantime, enough stuff gets through undetected to make it worth while for 1,658 retailers and thirty wholesalers to pay the government special liquor tax in the state-wide prohibition state of Oklahoma. The foundation of all government involves the consent of those governed. To force prohibition on a community against the wishes of the people is in conflict with a sane policy.
