IN THE CETURY IL LUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE VOL. XIX. IS THE HAV FAIR C BY BOOKER T. WASHING LUSTRATED MON (Continued from last week) THE NEGRO AS A DEPENDENT RACE In certain directions the Negro has had greater opportunities in the States in which he served as a slave than he has had in the States in which he has been for a century or more a free man. This statement is borne out by the fact that in the South the Negro rarely has to seek labor, but, on the other hand, labor seeks him. In all my experience in the Southern States, I have rarely seen a Negro man or woman seeking labor who did not find it. In the South the Negro has business opportunities that he does not have elsewhere. While in social matters the lines are strictly drawn, the Negro is less handicapped in business in the South than any other part of the country. He is sought after as a depositor in banks. If he wishes to borrow money, he gets if from the local bank just as quickly as the white man with the same business standing. If the Negro is in the grocery business or in the dry goods trade, or if he operates a drug store, he gets his goods from the wholesale dealer just as readily and on as good terms as his competitor. If the Southern white man has a dwelling-house, a storehouse, factory, school, or court house to erect, it is natural for him to employ a colored man as builder or contractor to perform that work. What is said to be the finest school building in the city of New Orleans was erected by a colored contractor. In the North a colored man who ran a large grocery store would be looked upon as a curiosity. The Southern white man frequently buys his groceries from a Negro merchant. Fortunately, the greater part of the colored people in the South have remained as farmers on the soil. The late census shows that eighty per cent. of Southern Negroes live on the land. There are few cases where a black man cannot buy and own a farm in the South. It is as a farmer in the Southern States that the masses of my race have economically and industrially the largest opportunity. No one stops to ask before purchasing a bale of cotton or a bushel of corn if it has been produced by a white hand or black hand. The Negro now owns as near as I can estimate, 15,000 grocery and dry-goods stores, 300 drug stores, and 63 banks. Negroes pay taxes on between $600,-000,000 and $700,000,000 of property of various kinds in the United States. Unless he had had a reasonably fair chance in the South, the Negro could not have gained and held this large amount of property, and would not have been able to enter in the commerce of this country to the extent that he has. SKILLED NEGRO LABOR BETTER TREATED IN THE SOUTH THAN THAN IN THE NORTH As a skilled laborer, the Negro has a better opportunity in the South than in the North. I think it will be found generally true in the South as elsewhere that wherever the Negro is strong in numbers and in skill he gets on well with the trades-unions. In these cases the unions seek to get him in, or they leave him alone, and in the latter case do not seek to control him. In the Southern States, where the race enters in large numbers in the trades, the trades-unions have not had any appreciable effect in hindering the progress of the Negro as a skilled laborer or as a worker in special industries, such as coal-mining, iron-mining, etc. In border cities, like St. Louis, Washington and Baltimore, however, the Negro rarely finds work in such industries as brick-laying and carpentry. One of the saddest examples of this fact that I ever witnessed was in the City of Washington, where on the campus of Howard University, a Negro institution, a large brick building was in process of erection. Every man laying a brick on this building was white, every man carrying a hod was a Negro. The white man, in this instance, was willing to erect a building in which Negroes could study Latin, but was not willing to give Negroes a chance to lay the bricks in its walls. Let us consider for a moment the Negro in the professions in the Southern States. Aside from DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 23 1912. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HANTS WH ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO school teaching and preaching, into which the racial question enters in only a slight degree, there remain law and medicine. All told, there are not more than 700 colored lawyers in the Southern States, while there are perhaps more than 3000 doctors, dentists, and pharmacists. With few exceptions, colored lawyers feel, as they tell me, that they do not have a fair chance before a white jury when a while lawyer is on the other side of the case. Even in communities where Negro lawyers are not discriminated against by juries, their clients feel that there is danger in intrusting cases to a colored lawyer. Mainly for these two reasons, colored lawyers are not numerous in the South; yet, in cases where colored lawerr combine legal practice with trading and real estate, they have in several instances been highly successful. THE DIFFICULTY OF OBTAINING UNI- Here again, however, it is difficult to generalize. People speak of the "race question" in the South, overlooking the fact that each one of the 1300 counties in the Southern States is a law unto itself. The result is that there are almost as many race problems as there are counties. The Negro may have a fair chance in one county, and have no chance at all in the adjoining county. The Hon. Josiah T. Settles, for example, has practiced both criminal and civil law for thirty years in Memphis. He tells me that he meets with no discrimination on account of his color either from judges, lawyers, or juries. There are other communities, like New Orleans and Little Rock, where Negro lawyers are accorded the same fair treatment, and, I ought to add, that almost without exception, Negro lawyers tell me they are treated fairly by white judges and white lawyers. The professional man who is making the greatest success in the South is the Negro doctor, and I should include the pharmacists and dentist with the physicians and surgeons. Except in a few cities white doctors are always willing to consult with Negro doctors. From an economic point of view the Negro in the North, when compared with the white man, does not have a fair chance. This is the feeling not only of the colored people themself, but of almost every one who has examined into the conditions under which colored men work. But here also one is likely to form a wrong opinion. There is, to begin with, this general difference between the North and the South, that whereas in the South there is, as I have already suggested, a job looking for every idle man, in the North, on the contrary, there are frequently two or three idle men looking for every job. In some of the large cities --- of the North there are organizations to secure employment for colored people. For a number of years I have kept in pretty close touch with those at the head of these organizations, and they tell me that in many cases they have been led to believe that the Negro has a harder time in finding employment than is actually true. The reason is that those who are out of employment seek these organizations. As a matter of fact, I have been surprised to find how large a number of colored people there are in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago who hold responsible positions in factories, stores, banks and other places. In regard to these people one hears very little. There is a colored man, for example, in Cleveland who has been for years private secretary to a railway president. (TO BE CONTINUED.) GEORGE W. CHIVIS ARRESTED The many business men in Portland, and all over the country, perhaps, will hail with delight the news that George W. Chivis, one of the most colossal advertising fakirs and one of the smoothest talkers who ever wore shoe leather or drew up a bogus contract, has been arrested in California and extradited to Michigan on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. Chivis is alleged to have secured $75 from a patent medicine food firm for advertisements, when the periodical he claimed he was publishing was a fake concern, having no circulation and, in fact, was not in existence. To some Chivis claimed that his home was in Minneapolis, to others Omaha, Neb., and still to others Los Angeles, Cal., the place where he was arrested. This is not the first tine that Chivis has been arrested for faking, for in New York City seven years ago he was picked up by the police from information furnished by a duped advertiser, but by some hook or crook Chivis managed to escape a penitentiary sentence. Chivis' main stock in trade to do business was to represent himself to be the buyer for various dining cars and private cars and head of the Colored Porters' association, and in this way Chivis has duped business men out of thousands of dollars, none of which, we are told, he has used to advantage, but has spent it as fast as he made it in gambling and riotous living, and today finds himself behind the jail bars in Michigan, penniless and friendless. The Advocate, Portland Oregon, November 2, 1912. In 1900 this same George W. Chivis landed in Chicago, and he made an unsuccessful attempt to run all over us in a certain business deal, and at that time we turned the light of day on him and his faking manner in doing business, and from that time to the present he has made himself rather scarce around Chicago.

Pierpoint Morgan will give $10,000 toward the proposed $60,000 fund for the St. Paul's Episcopal school for Negroes at Lawrenceville, Va. The United Presbyterians are said to have spent $98,127.78 for work among Negroes of the South during the past year. Twenty schools are maintained; enrollment 4,139, and 162 missionaries are employed Mark Miller, one of the most wealthy and prominent Negro business men and planters of Fort Valley, Ga., owns a farm of 400 acres, 40 of which is in fruit. He is said to be worth $100,000. There will be no segregation of colored children in the public schools in Buffalo, N. Y. Alderman Stengel, who fostered the plan, has given out the statement that he had no personal interest in the scheme, but was asked to father it by James A. Ross, a colored democrat. Mrs. Lulu Clower-Harrison was awarded $2,000 in the United States District Court on Thursday before Judge Thompson in a suit against George L. Eckenhoff, Camden, as damages for the death of her husband, Irvin K. Harrison. The decedent, a waiter, was struck by the defendant's motor car at 8th and Market streets, March 14. The fellowing clipping is from the Chicago Defender. Miss Minor is a Denver girl who was quite popular in younger society circles: "The Chicago Musical College, of which Dr. F. Ziegfeld is president, will have among its graduates of piano Miss Mademlyn Johnson and Miss Ethel Minor, these ladies will receive their diplomas in piano harmony and theory. The race should be proud of such daughters. And the faculty of the college rate them as among their most intelligent students. Miss Minor and Miss Johnson are pupils of Prof. G. Wedetz. Numerous others of the race are taking at the Chicago Musical College." Philadelphia, Pa.—Plans for a Y. M. C. A. building for colored youths costing $100,000, have been prepared by Horace Trumbauer, and work will be started on the structure within a few weeks at 1720 and 1726 Christian street. The building was provided for in the $1,000,000 fund raised by the NO 11 business men of the city a few years ago. The building will be of brick, four stories high, with basement, and have a frontage of 130 feet. A swimming pool, gymnasium, social lobby and game room will be the features. Class and club rooms will occupy the second floor, and the upper story will contain living rooms. Henry W. Porter, who has been in charge of the colored branch, known as the Soutwark Branch, since its organization two years ago will have charge of the new building. Washington, D. C., Nov. 16.—Mr. Robert Wynne Johnson, better known as "University Johnson," 67 years old, formerly coachman to Mayor T. E. Knotts of Gary and now acting in the capacity of White House messenger, is said to have received the first official appointment made by President-elect Wilson. Mr. Johnson know Governor Wilson when he was a boy at Columbia, S. C., and has been promised, it is said, reappointment to his present position as soon as Mr. Wilson takes his seat. Before coming to Gary, Mr. Johnson was one of the caretakers at Harvard University. New York City, N. Y., Nov. 11.—Robert Kenyon Richardson, treasurer of the Christian Food Company must pay his wife, Iva B. Matthews Richardson, a counsel fee of $100 and $10 a week alimony pending the trial of the action for a separation which she has begun against him. So Justice Newburger decided yesterday. Richardson contended he could not be held legally liable for alimony on the ground that his marriage to his wife was not valid according to the laws of the State of Tennessee, because Mrs. Richardson had Negro blood in her veins. They were married in Memphis, April 2. 1907. A Tennessee statute, Richardson held, prohibits marriage of people of the black and white races. Richardson further states that, July 30, 1910, he married Miss Bessie Waley, and that the plaintiff is merely his housekeeper at his resinence, No. 610 West One Hundred and Fifty-second street. He charges in an affidavit that Mrs. Iva Richardson is "descended from negroes within the third generation, and both her parents are negroes." The plaintiff denies there is any negro blood in her veins, and says her mother was the daughter of an Indian chief and a white woman, while her father was born of Spanish and French parents.

State Board of Heaith Says “Swat the Fly” Crusade Caused Decrease in Colorado. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Scientific medical discov ery and the almost universal “swa the fly" campaign waged throughow Colorado during the past summer ha. resulted in a reduction of nearly fifty per cent in the number of typhoic cases reported for the first nine months this year under the number re ported for a like period in 1911, ac cording to a report of the State Board of Health. The report shows that the percent age of deaths from the disease is even less this year than last and the de struction of the germ-carrying housé fly is considered by the board to be the most important factor. The list of fatalities for nine months this year is_one-third of that for the first nine months in 1911. The lessened mortal ity rate, according to Dr. Paul S. Hunter, is also due to the recent dis. covery of a typhoid serum which has proved to be unusually successful. “I believe,” said Dr. Hunter, “that in a few years, perhaps not more than ten, that deaths from typhoid in Colo. rado will be reduced to nil. “People have come to realize the im: portance of precaution against ty- phoid. They have learned how neces: sary it is to destroy flies and make conditions about their homes sanitary. It is interesting to note how almost universally now, housewives will take a few minutes every day and go about vigorously swatting flies in their homes, This is bound to bring about results that we have strived for in the past decade. “Dairies are kept cleaner, conditions about barns are more sanitary and close inspection of cows and provi- sions for sterilization of bottles, etc. has done the rest. it is practically impossible now for flies to communi cate disease to milk within a barn be cause of the screen doors required.” 10th Avenue Hotel ————-— H.

The significance of this great sacrifice, he says, is scarcely realized in a country which bears its losses with admirable stocism. There is no list of dead or wounded, and nobody asks for it, but as the end is in sight, it will be the duty of the government to see that the brave peasants whose graves lie thick in the fields of Thrace shall not have died in vain. Nothing less than the total extinction of Turkish rule in Europe, Bulgarians say, can be accepted. Referring to the cholera, the correspondent says the Bulgarian troops are abundantly supplied with rakia spirit made from the grapes at Kirk Killisseh, which is regarded as effective in the prevention of the disease Man Blown to Bits by Blast. Westminster, Mass. — Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., retired, saw one of his employees blown to pieces and another severely injured by a dynamite explosion on his farm.

He says he witnessed the burning of Albanian villages and heard from numerous eye witnesses of the reckless shooting, not only of men, but of women. The Servians, he adds, admitted they were carrying on a war of extermination against the Albanians, whom Servian officers declared "must be swept from the face of the earth." Scutari Surrenders After Turk Rout Scutari Surrenders After Turk Rout Belgrade.—A private telegram reports that Scutari has surrendered. Servian headquarters report that the Turks attempted a sortie from Adrianople on the side of the Servian division, but were repulsed with great losses. The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Scutari sends a series of dispatches, the latest of which is dated November 13, describing intermittent bombardment by the Montenegrins, who have killed numerous people and set fire to buildings. The correspondent supposes the object of the Montenegrin bombardment is to induce the Turks to consume their ammunition. The Turkish commander, Riza Bey, however, is on the alert and has given orders that shells must not be fired uselessly. An Antivari dispatch to the Telegraph reports that General Martinovich has occupied Allessio. Five weeks ago the management of the Columbia theater, a burlesque house, entirely abandoned billboard advertising. Since then it has confined its advertising to the newspapers.

Rome.—Strong protests are raised in the Italian press from newspapers of conservative opinions and organs of the Socialist party against the reports published in the Austrian and German newspapers, representing the Italian government as according the fullest support to Austria-Hungary against Servia. Italian public opinion is unreservedly favorable to the Balkan states, and opposed to Italy playing the role of gendarme at Belgrade or elsewhere on behalf of Austria-Hungary. CORNER STONE LAID FOR W. Y. C. A. BUILDING AT COLORADQ SPRINGS. Home Where, Young Women Can Be Cared For—Simplicity Marked Service. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colorado Springs.—Simplicity of service marked the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the new Y. W. C. A. building, the second in this state, here. William E. Sweet, president of the Y. M. C. A. of Denver, who delivered the address, touched a responsive chord in the hearts of his 2,000 hearers when he classified Colorado Springs as the best city he knew in which to bring up young women and young men. "I do not say it for the purpose of being gracious and complimentary," declared the speaker, "but in all sincerity and truth I believe it is harder for a young man to go wrong here than in any other city with which I am familiar." Mrs. Mary T. Hatch, one of the founders, and the first president of the local association, was the central figure at the cornerstone laying. Bent and feeble, she was assisted to the side of the big granite block and with a silver trowel tapped the stone as it was lowered into place, dedicating the building to the young women as "a true home of rest and recreation and social fellowship, a source of joy and gladness, ministering to the fullness of life." Two thousand persons, among them daughters of poor and daughters of rich, many of whom had contributed their mite or their check to the new home, and men who had aided and were interested in the work, attended the meeting. The vested choirs from two big churches led the march from the city hall across the street to the scene of the dedication. Business was at a standstill during the hours of the ceremony, from noon until 1 o'clock, for merchants declared a part holiday so that working girls might attend. Miss Grace Dodge, president of the national board of the Y. W. C. A., sent a message of congratulation. She is a cousin of Clarence P. Dodge of this city, who was chairman. In introducing Mr. Sweet, Chairman Dodge said that "Colorado Springs was resting a few moments to contemplate her greatest asset—the character of her citizenship." The building will cost $75,000 and will be completed July 1, 1913. Masked Maniac Spreads Terror With Battle of Nitroglycerine. Los Angeles.—Armed with an internal machine containing enough dynamite to destroy an entire city block, a bottle of nitroglycerine and a .45-caliber revolver, a masked maniac took possession of the central police station and held it for more than an hour, while the hundreds of occupants of the building and those for blocks around, panic stricken, sought the safety of distance. When Detective James Hosick knocked the man unconscious with a leather billy after slipping behind him, the fuse of the infernal machine was automatically ignited and without thinking of the consequences Detective Samuel L. Browne carried the box outside, the fuse sputtering and spitting sparks, and hurled it into the street. Sticks of high-power dynamite scattered over the pavement, while hundreds of spectators stood apparently paralyzed by fright, awaiting the detonation that would send them into eternity. Through a freak of chance there was no explosion, and Browne continued kicking the sticks of dynamite and jumping on the fuse until he had broken the connections and extinguished the fire. Lying manacled on a cot in the receiving hospital, the would-be dynamiter, who gave his name as Albert Henry Davis, is suffering from several severe scalp wounds, but the police surgeons say that his injuries are not serious. Public Markets to Lessen Living Cost. Chicago.—Resolutions were adopted at the meeting of the City Council calling on Mayor Harrison to appoint a committee of seven to report on the feasibility of public markets in densely populated portions of the city as a means of lessening the cost of living.

FIGHTING STOPS PENDING PEACE BULGARIANS RECEIVE ORDERS TO CEASE ATTACKS ON THE TURKISH ARMY. HOLD POSITIONS WON NEGOTIATIONS FOR ARMISTICE OPENED AT REQUEST OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE. Eastern Newspaper Union News Service. London.—Fighting has ceased for the moment between the Turkish and Bulgarian armies struggling for possession of the key to the gates of Constantinople, and the opposing commanders-in-chief are engaged in negotiating the terms of an armistice. If these negotiations prove successful, they will be preparatory to a meeting of plenipotentiaries who will discuss conditions of peace. In accordance with the suggestion contained in the Bulgarian note that the allied Balkan nations are prepared to meet the Turkish commander-in-chief with a view of arranging an armistice, the Ottoman government has appointed Nazim Pasha to confer with General Savoff, the Bulgarian leader. The Turkish general, who has been putting up such an excellent defense of the ramparts of the capital, now has thrown on him the additional burden of deciding whether or not a further display of tenacity behind the fortifications of Tchatalja may bring easier terms and save to the Ottoman Empire more than Constantinople and a strip of Thrace along the shores of the Sea of Marmora, which seemingly is all the conquerors are at present disposed to lose to the vanquished. Meanwhile the two armies hold their respective positions. How long this armed truce will be maintained, however, will depend on the terms of peace offered by the league of the Palkan nations, and whether the hitherto futile attacks by the Bulgarians on the Tchatalja lines have inspired Turks with hopes that the fortunes of war may yet turn in their favor. Sofia, Bulgaria. — The Bulgarian troops operating before the line of fortifications defending Constantinople at Tchatalja have received orders to cease fighting and merely to hold the positions they have won, as negotiations have begun for the conclusion of an armistice at the request of Turkey. Christians Reported Slain By Turks. Athens, Greece.—Reports of Massacres of Christians by Turks in Jaffa, Palestine, caused the commander of the Russian cruiser Oleg to weigh anchor and depart hurriedly for that district.

John Minturn, an eyewitness of the death of Mrs. Rose Manachik Szabo, for whose death on Greenwood lake, Burton W. Gibson of New York, her lawyer, is charged with murder, so testified at Gibson's trial. His testimony was introduced to bear out the state's contention that Mrs. Szabo was strangled by Gibson and did not die of drowning. Journalistic Teachers Will Confer.

This is an era of discussion. The greatest era of discussion in the world's history. Every question of importance is brought into the limelight of discussion. Uppermost among the discussions going the rounds of the press today is the perennial Negro problem. The time has now fully come for the intelligent Negro to manfully meet the issue and to effectively rebut the current slander on the race being made by correspondents and professional paragraph writers. In order to wisely accomplish this the Colorado Statesman would suggest the organization and training of a club of intelligent and promising young men and women whose business it shall be to pay attention to articles in the public press and magazines concerning the race and reply to them in an intelligent and effective way. Unless this is done sentiment will be crystalized against the Negro to such an extent that it will be hard to overcome. These articles can be sent to many different papers and a place be found for them in the magazines, besides they will afford opportunity for training of our young people in defense of the race. The Negro has not yet learned to effectively contend for his rights in the avenues that make his contention heard and felt.

To filling its mission is evidence when this paper does not reach it or it may be said that it is no longer out regularly, no matter of the postman, who also is not. The question then arises, what subscribers working in private addressed to residence of their employer deliberately withheld because of no importance, or that they had information that the newspaper employers still hold to the old different sorts of people, mastered be satisfied with their position from anything that brings them am the light or to discover the injury the light is bound to spread, and is late day be suppressed. The colored newspaper, like the white press of the land, is set to turn on the light of the intelligence so that the darkened intellect might be awakened. Its foremost task is to discuss the current events of the times and things of especial interest to the race. That the colored press has its place and is filling its mission is evidenced by the expressions of disappointment when this paper does not reach its subscribers. To the credit of the editor it may be said that it is no fault of the management, for the paper comes out regularly, no matter what may happen. Seldom it is the fault of the postman, who also is regular and painstaking in its delivery. The question then arises, what becomes of the papers addressed to subscribers working in private families where the servants' mail is addressed to residence of their employers. The answer is plain. It is either deliberately withheld because employers regard mail sent to Negroes of no importance, or that they do not wish them to receive the light and information that the newspapers bring to their servants. Some employers still hold to the old ante-bellum doctrine that God created different sorts of people, masters and servants, and that the latter should be satisfied with their positions, and they attempt to withhold from them anything that brings them a desire to better their condition or turn on the light or to discover the injustice of the employer's position, but the light is bound to spread, and the colored newspapers cannot at this late day be suppressed. Grateful for Life Saved. Thirty-five years ago a Swiss sailor saved the life of an English lad, a pupil at a boarding school at Vevey, who was drowning in Lake Geneva. The young Englishman was then without means, but he has since become a wealthy man. For a long time he tried to find his rescuer, and at last discovered him in the captain of a lake steamer at Villeneuve. He has sent him a bank note for a thousand francs ($200) as a reward.

AM OPPOSED to any reading test for immigrants because it would keep out of this country millions of honest toilers, good and useful men and women who deserve an opportunity in life and who have been deprived of it through no fault of their own. Illiteracy, as every one knows, is the result of oppression, and it would appear poor Americanism, indeed, to close the doors of our country, which has maintained the high doctrine that the oppressed and persecuted peoples of all lands should find an asylum here. Labor omnia vincit. Men of brawn are far more important than the men of brain in the building of our railroads, subways, harbors. Every able-bodied immigrant coming to our country enriches it by his honest labor, whether it be in factory or mine, or as trench digger. On the other hand, American ideals may suffer rudely at the hands of one who possesses all the intellectual qualifications, but is devoid of that which is far more essential—true nobility of character, such as we often find among the illiterate class. Have the supporters of and the agitators for the educational test considered that the marvelous growth of this country and its prosperity, unequaled in the history of the world, are due to the liberal immigration laws? Some of our best citizens have sprung from parents who, had they been required to pass any kind of educational test, would surely have been excluded from the country. Our democratic ideas, together with the educational opportunities afforded immigrants and their children, do more to educate them than all the educational tests in the world could accomplish. Under our system of public school education the second generations of immigrants become perfectly assimilated. What is rather to be deplored, however, is the fact that the second generation, like the born Americans, refuse to follow the occupations of their fathers, but seek lighter vocations. This is another argument in favor of the immigrants who are satisfied to do the work which the native born are loth to perform. The claim that because people lack the opportu country they are therefore inferior to ourselves would be most dangerous if accepted. It not only deals a death blow to liberty, of which we have boasted in the past, but it is a concession to a decadent spirit and to antiquated and bigoted ideas. President Eliot of Harvard properly declared that the only questions which should be asked of an immigrant are, Is he healthy, strong and desirous of earning a good living? This, to my mind, is an expression of true Americanism. And, like Dr. Eliot, I believe that a reading test should be applied when the foreigner proposes to become a citizen and not before.

He explained it on the ground that he was a creature of habit; he never left home except on pressing business and then but for short distances. To travel means the breaking up of his regular habits and hence he had viewed none of nature's grandest sights. The explanation sounded plausible to me, but a friend who was with me at the anguished attorney better than I remarked as he was another and a stronger reason why he hit sea waves.

Pure air is as essential to the health of human beings as food or water. Once this sensible slogan could be gotten through the mind of the public the sooner would all have general good health. Disease germs, states the bulletin, abound in the dust-laden air of poorly ventilated rooms, cars, factories and public meeting places.

Mrs. Gus Travers is now at home after undergoing an operation at Mercy hospital. Her many friends hope for her speedy recovery. James E. Porter, Jr., of the Rio Grande dining car service is confined to his room with inflammatory rheumatism in its most violent form. Daniel Carr, brother of the late Mrs. R. W. Mosby, died Wednesday night of dropsy from which he has been a sufferer for years. The Five Points pool and billiard parlor, conducted by the affable E. R. Page at 2710 Welton street, is one of the most popular resorts in the city. It is conducted on business principles. One of the recent accessions to Denver society is Ralph Garvin, a former resident of Salina, Kansas, who is a valued employé of the Standish hotel, where he is quite popular. For bargains in good shoes, Tober's sample shoe store at 2116 Larimer street, is underselling its competitors at a big margin, which means the saving of money to those who purchase footwear at this place. One of the most enjoyable places to spend your leisure moments is the Annex theater, 2118-20 Larimer street. As a vindication of this fact this popular amusement resort is always crowded at every performance. The funeral of Julius Page was held from the Douglass Undertaking Co., parlors last Sunday afternoon. He was a member of K. of P. lodge of St. Louis. Pythian Lodge, No. 11, K. of P. of Denver had charge of the funeral, Rev. Pope officiating.

This offer is good until Thanksgiving Day. Joseph Davis, a porter at the Denver Athletic Club, attempted to kill his wife at 2246 Glenarm Place Wednesday night, by slashing her throat with a razor. She is at the county hospital in a serious state, and he is in jail, pending the result of the assault. The old-fashioned harvest home given by the Self Improvement Club at Old Colony hall Tuesday night was very well attended and was quite amusing. There were many grotesque and laughable costumes. The rubes and country lasses enjoyed themselves hugely. A neat sum was realized and there was all kinds of fun. John W. Levell, assisted by his amiable wife of 2546 South Broadway entertained a few of their freinds at a Dutch lunch, Tuesday evening, and it goes without saying that everybody had one glorious time with different games, sparkling conversation and plenty of good things to eat. Mr. and Mrs. James Brown will leave the city tomorrow for Waco, Texas, to spend several months with relatives and their many friends. During their stay in the city they have made many true and warm friends, who regret their departure but wish them bon voyage. William Brown died very suddenly Tuesday morning of heart disease, from which he has been a sufferer for quite a while. "Brownie," as he was called by his many friends, was first married several years ago to a niece of the Waddy brothers; and Mrs. Weston of Manitou, his second wife, to whom he has been married for six years, was a Miss Cross, of Saline county, Mo. The funeral took place Thursday from his late residence, 2220 Walnut street, Rev. F. H. Bray of Campbell's A. M. E. Church made some very telling and forcible and appropriate remarks over the bier of the deceased. Interment was at Riverside cemetery. Hoffman Undertaking Company in charge. Our contemporary, The Statesman, beginning with this week's issue will be known as The Denver Star. The logical reason given for the change is the confusion of this paper, The Colorado Statesman, and that of The Statesman.

So hereafter any reference made in this respect will always mean The Colorado Statesman, as The Statesman is no more, in name. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association under the management of Victor Walker, and which has been made popular throughout the West as a pleasure resort, is always thronged with a crowd of congenial good fellows, who spend their leisure moments at one of the most up-to-the-minute pleasure resorts west of the Windy City. Mr. Walker is ever on the alert to see that everything for the pleasure and comfort of the members is not found wanting and he is always being congratulated for his new ideas, which he puts in vogue for the amusement of members. Word has been received in the city from Chicago that Aleck Wilson, a former old-time resident of Denver, shot and killed his wife Wednesday and then killed himself. Mrs. Jennie Jacobs Wilson is survived by two daughters Misses Lola and Bessie Jacobs, the latter a teacher in the public schools of Kansas City, Mo., and by several relatives in Marshall, Mo., where she was born. Wilson is survived by a son, Prof. Garfield Wilson, a prominent dancing instructor of Chicago. Domestic troubles of long standing was the primal cause of this sad tragedy. Miss Lola Jacobs left the city Thursday for Chicago to take charge of her mother's remains, which will be buried at Marshall, Mo., her old home in the family plot. Anyone who knows of the reputation of Frank Burnley, the astute manager of the Calumet Club, will not wonder at the high standard which this popular pleasure resort is maintained. The reading or library room, where all the latest papers and magazines are at the disposal of the members, is indeed a feature worthy of no little consideration. The topical themes, which are wisely discussed therein only add food to the aesthetic mind, while the amusements in the pool and billiard parlor and whist room only vies with the musical department in relieving one's fatigue when his idle moments of recreation is spent at the Calumet. John Walker Scott, a resident of Denver since 1871, died in this city last Sunday after a rather long illness of a complication of diseases. Mr. Scott was born in New Bedford, Mass., in Oct. 1856 and was 56 years of age at the time of his death, his funeral services were held at the mortuary of the Lawhorn Undertaking Co., on Wednesday afternoon, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. John Perkins, assistant pastor of Antioch Baptist church. Only a few weeks ago Mr. Scott lost his mother. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Chas. Murphy and Mrs. John Owens and several nieces. Interment was at Riverside. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. "Blessed be the tie that binds," graced the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. George F. Morrison celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary at their beautiful home, 834 Fox street, November 15th, 1912. The house was artistically decorated with white and green together with ferns, and crysanthemums, which made a very beautiful picture. Standing room could hardly be provided for the host of earnest friends that thronged the place from far and near. It seemed as though an unseen hand guided the affair. Tokens of real value are still coming at this writing. Surely the goodness and mercy shall follow them the remainder of their lives. Part of the evening was enjoyed listening to vocal and instrumental solos by Mesdames Jones Johnson and Miss Thrashley, Dunbar's selection by Mr. L. S. McWilliams, vocal solo and recitation by Miss Fitzhugh, the blind girl of St. Louis, Mo. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison wish to extend their heartfelt thanks to their many friends that have shown their appreciation in various ways and wish them a long and happy life. The bride wore steel gray satin, very plain and wore a reef of smilax, which fell to the bottom of her dress and caught with carnation, while the groom wore a dark suit and white vest.

"A Holy Day vs. A Holiday" will be the subject. A free Thanksgiving dinner will be served at Shorter next Thursday. The poor and aged of the city will be the guests of honor on this occasion. Special arrangements have been made to convey to and from the church those who are unable to attend otherwise. On the evening of Thanksgiving, Mrs. Mae Byrd will give a brilliant Thanksgiving concert, in which a selection by Rev. Wiseman, "The Holy City" by Master Cuthbert Byrd, a trombone solo by Miss Moore of Chicago, a popular duet by the little Sisters, and "You Can't Play With Me," will be the leading numbers. Admission 10c. A large variety of delicious refreshments will be served under the direction of the sewing circle, Mrs. A. L. Mason, president. The attendance at the League service last Sabbath evening was easily the largest of the season, and the discussion of the topic was free, full and enthusiastic. Four applications for membership were reported and Miss Susie Clingman, a former Leaguer, was welcomed into this fellowship, Mr. Royal C. Brown is making a most excellent president. The secret concert and lay sermon last Sunday evening proved to be a drawing card. The program was well arranged and delivered so effectively that every number elicited praise and commendation from the large number of interested listeners. The solo by Mr. J. B. Mentor, the one by Mr. George Morrison and the quartet by Mesdames Holly, Fife, McGuire and Miss Colston came in for special mention. The lay sermon by Dr. Jones was a splendid production teeming with stubborn facts and helpful suggestions relative to the condition of the race west of the Mississippi river. The address was a fitting number to begin the series, the subject being, "Some Conditions of Our Western Sojourn," was divided into two general heads, namely, Some Peculiarities, and Some Advantages. The points discussed under the sub-head of Some Peculiarities were the transient population, the divergent origin of the people of the several communities, the lack of labor opportunities for our men, and the lack of loyalty to ourselves. Under the sub-head of Some Advantages, the points discussed were the fine climate, the certain opportunities of culture and the opportunity of helping to shape the future of the West. Dr. Jones closed the address with a strong appeal for the establishing of a tuberculosis sanatorium for the men of color. SCOTT M. E. CHURCH NOTES.

Wallace, spoke to a full house last Tuesday evening at the Highlands Methodist Episcopal church. Dr. C. O. Thibedeau is the energetic pastor. The message was well received judging from the hearty congratulation which followed after the service. There were several Civil War veterans in the audience. The revivalistic spirit is very evident during the Sunday evening services. The interest in these services is growing, which we hope is a precursor of a grand revival.

Bogs as Nitrate-fields If peat is mixed with lime and sown with nitrifying ferments, its filaments become incased with masses of nitrates. Wherever there are peat-bogs it is possible to obtain nitrates equivalent in quality to those of the great nitrate deposits in Chile. The bogs, hitherto regarded as good for fuel only, are thus found to be undeveloped sources of wealth.—Harper's Weekly. She Knew Him. "Good-by forever!" said the young man, coldly, as he prepared to depart. "I leave you now, never to return." "Good-by," said the fair maid in the parlor scene.

CUT GLASS Fruit By ADELE MENDEL. H HOW much easier it is for the hostess of today to prepare for a Thanksgiving dinner than it was for the hostess of a hundred years ago! Then it meant not hours, but weeks of planning, for the hostess had none of the conveniences or labor saving devices that we are so familiar with as necessities today. No indeed, her dinner had to be cooked on an open fire, not on a modern range or gas stove. Electricity would have seemed nothing less than a miracle. The simple utensils used in the home of the present day would have caused the greatest amount of astonishment. A lemon squeezer would have been regarded as a curious object, but then so would have been a food chopper, an egg beater, or a can opener. The coffee was always roasted and ground at home. There was no prepared mustard, cocoa, vanilla, gelatine or prepared yeast. String beans, lima beans, asparagus or peas were not served in November. Tomatoes were called love apples and were not recognized as a vegetable. Everything was home made, for groceries were not delivered at the house in sealed packages. There were few hothouse flowers such as we are accustomed to see adorn our tables. The flowers were all of the old-fashioned variety. Orchids were unknown, the chrysanthemums were very small; roses were not like the roses of today, but carnations were used in abundance. Invitations had to be issued a long time ahead to insure a reply, if the guest resided at any distance. Verily, we have much to be grateful for, when we consider how many wonderful inventions there have been to lighten the housekeeper's labors. Now, when Thanksgiving is celebrated in every state in the Union, there is no one who hasn't something to be thankful for. Thanksgiving ever is a day of pleasant reminiscences; a day when the family and friends are gathered around the well laden table in a spirit of rejoicing. Hospitality is the characteristic note of the day and it really ought to be a pleasure and a gladse task to plan a Thanksgiving dinner. The housewife of 1912 will be wise if she follows the example of her great grandmother and plans her dinner and table decorations in advance so that she will have little to do on Thanksgiving day. The decorations for a Thanksgiving table would be very effective if it had for its main decorations the turkey. For, what is a Thanksgiving dinner without a turkey? The table cloth around the edge of the table is trimmed with large sized turkeys cut out of crepe paper in realistic coloring. Paper turkeys hold the place cards. The same bird ornaments the napkins. Small baskets trimmed with chrysanthemums hold the salted almonds. For the center decoration of the table use a large dark red basket filled with ears of corn. The imitation corn and leaves can be made of yellow paper with green paper for leaves. Wheat, oats, fruit, or flowers or anything in keeping with the harvest idea may be used. A college girl who has taken up the business of making table souvenirs and decorations has gone to America's early history for the appropriate little things used at Thanksgiving. Taking the year 1630 as the proper perlod for her charming trifles—the year in which the first Thanksgiving was celebrated in Boston—the clever girl has turned out little puppets dressed as the Pilgrim fathers, Indians and many a fair New England maid known in song and story. She has made crude cardboard houses, covered with log-cabin paper, and for the animals used by the first settlers she goes to the toy store, where suitable and cheap trifles are found. For the finer Thanksgiving tables she arranges, her New England scenes of those long ago times are as instructive as they are beautiful. The center of the table is always used for the picture she wishes to represent, and there, with her quaint dolls, her Puritan maids and men, her primitive homes, wigwams, wild turkeys, deer, ducks, cannon and what-not, she will turn out pictures as amusing to grown-ups as to children. Some of this brilliant woman's notions could be copied at home with very little expenditure. The history books give any number of pretty scenes to copy from and by choosing the least elaborate the work would be lessened and the effect be just as good. For instance, there was always a blockhouse in ye olden days, with can non before it, and turkeys were roasted in the open air, and there were piles of corn when the harvest was in and so on. In a farm home it would be easy to have dried ears of corn about, shucks and all showing and in a city ears of popcorn could be used. Take the blockhouse scene and prepare the picture for the possible invasion of hostile Indians. Cover a square cardboard box with brown paper for the log house; trace over it with black crayon a rude imitation of logs, cut slit windows, put on a rough chimney and leave the door half open with a little doll, dressed as a Puritan child, peeping out. About the blockhouse group some toy pine trees one or two Puritan men, two maids and maybe a friendly Indian with feathered headdress. The maids and child are dressed in grave gray gowns with white kerchiefs and caps, and the white men wear buff colored knee breeches, red waistcoats and green or gray tail coats. The good Indian wears war paint and, maybe, drags a cloak of fur behind him. Dolls for the purpose can be had at 10 cents antece—four inches high—and they could be dressed in tissue paper. They are held to the table with long block headed pins, or rather to a board upon which the scene is set and afterward covered over in suitable manner. One of the metal turkeys, sold now in all the candy and toyshops for Thanksgiving, could appear in the scene and also a deer and a fat goose. The birds and animals can be had from five cents up. All the things mentioned in these dramatic times could be symbolized with pretty trifles bought at the ten cent store or elsewhere, for favors. The following things are seen and are all suitable: Papier mache pumpkin pies, candy boxes made like ears of corn, kegs, cannon, Indian baskets and tomahawks. The kegs were always a part of the New England Thanksgiving, and they held root beer—made by the Indian women—and molasses, which was used for the pies famous to this day. Another amusing idea for a Thanksgiving table scene could be a demonstration of the great progress of the years. This scene might hold a paper aeroplane, an automobile, little French bandboxes and dolls dressed to depict the various races that have invaded the country. There could be a negro, a Chinaman, a Russian Cossack, an Indian laborer, a German, a Frenchman and so on. There should be little American flags for souvenirs or trimmings, flag candy boxes and plenty of red, white and blue ribbon tying souvenirs, place cards and menus. The place cards or menus used must correspond to the two periods. Little printed cards with very pretty symbols, old and new, can be had very cheaply. For the invitation there are also some Puritan-father postcards that could be used, while the modern invitation could be written on a postal giving any famous American object or scene. Acroplane cards would be suitable. For a child's Thanksgiving party there are bushels of pretty trifles that cost next to nothing. The metal turkeys, deer, pasteboard cannon, flags, snapdragons and airships are all reproduced in tiniest shape. The wee things which are sometimes put in a Jack Horner pie cost from one cent up to five. All the candy holders made for the season show some red, white and blue, while the paper napkins and table covers have just the right things in their rough picture borders. Thanksgiving Place Cards. A pretty place card shows a big brown hand-painted turkey, wearing a necklace of bright red cranberries. Other cards show fat little children driving turkeys made of real feathers glued to the card. Hand-painted bunches of celery, ears of corn, fruit and vegetables, each cut from cardboard in the right shape, are made to match vegetable centerpieces. Then there are tiny paper doll cards, hand-painted and wearing gowns of yellow tulle. Real doll children, carrying yellow chrysanthemums, are made to fasten to wineglasses by means of a hidden wire arrangement. ```markdown ``` A REAL THANKSGIVING A REAL THANKSGIVING By DONALD ALLEN. F I was a girl I wouldn't go walking too far," said old Uncle Robert as a girl of 20 passed him on her way down to the gate of the farmhouse. F "And why not?" she asked as she almost came to a pause. "Well, according to my ideas, it's going to rain and snow and blow and hall, and when the storm does break she's going to be a buster. 'You live in the city and don't know anything about the storms we have out here. I've seen it when we didn't have a train along for four straight days." "I wanted to go to the postoffice to mail a letter." "It's three miles there and back, and if I was you I'd put it off. Mebbe somebody'll be passing that you can send it by. Tomorror's Thanksgiving, you know, and we are going to have the awfulest, biggest, nicest dinner anybody ever set down to. It's in your honor, you know. There'll be a turkey, a duck and a chicken; there'll be cranberry sass, pumpkin ples, currant jell, sweet clder and apple dumplin's; there'll be——" "I think I'll just walk a little ways, anyhow," said the girl as she opened the gate and passed down the highway towards the village and the railroad depot. "And if you come home as wet as a hen don't say I didn't warn ye. It's going to come, and it's going to be a buster." Half an hour later, a middle-aged woman with a motherly face and voice came out on the steps and asked: "Pa, do you reckon it's goin' to storm?" "Sure as ducks." "Where's Minnie?" "Oh, she's gone for a santer. I give her warning. What's she wantin' to mail a letter for? I hain't mailed to THE STREET CAFE letter nor got one in 20 years, and I guess I'm about as well off as most folks. I was going to ask her but forgot it." "Don't you ask her a word about it," cautioned the wife as she came down to him. "I guess Minnie's got something on her mind, and it hain't none of your business. I reckon she'll tell me when she gets ready. Leastwise, I hain't goin' to do any pumping." "Something on her mind, eh? That's funny. Didn't know that girls ever had anything on their minds except new clothes. Is that why she come visiting us all of a sudden?" "None o' your business! I guess my own sister's daughter can come and see me any time she takes a notion, and that without writing ahead. What's on her mind, as nigh as I can make out, is about a young man. If I don't tell you you'll worry the shirt off your back. Pa, you got to be as poky as an old maid. You can't see a pillar-case flopping on the clothes line but what you want to know all about it. Yes; it's about a young man. They are engaged, and they've had a falling out, and she's sorter run away from him to find out if he really cares for her." "And she's got scared about it and has written him a letter to tell where she is?" queried the husband. "Go on! It's probably a letter to her ma, though I didn't see it nor ask. I hope she didn't start for town. It's going to storm for sure, and there hain't but one house on the road where she could find shelter. Look down the road and see if you can see her." "Can't see hide nor hair of any girl," reported Uncle Robert after going out to the highway and taking a long look. An hour later, with both uncle and aunt fidgeting about their girl visitor, the black clouds that had been banking up for hours began to advance before a breeze that soon strengthened into a gale. In five minutes the gray afternoon had become twilight. In fifteen there was cold rain and lively hail, and Uncle Robert was blown into the kitchen to exclaim: "I told her it was going to be a buster, and that she mustn't blame me. I started down the road to meet her, but Lordy what a storm! I couldn't get ten rods if I was to die for it!" Miss Minnie had reached town and malled her letter and started back again when the storm broke. Before it came, she thought she could make out a human figure on the road ahead of her, but wasn't sure. The very first gust picked her up and turned her around and deposited her under a roadside tree. She remained there until the gale began to whip the branches off, and then let go her hold and ran for it. There were limbs falling all about her, and the hall-stones peppered her until she ran almost blindly. She hadn't gone a quarter of a mile when, as she crouched and covered her face, she was struck by a flying limb and knew no more. It was the dim sight of the girl and the scream she uttered when hit, that sent the man who was clinging to the roadside fence back into the highway. He bent over the unconscious form and picked it up and staggered back to the fence and followed it until he saw a light and found the gate of a farmhouse. His lusty calls for help soon brought out a man, and the senseless burden was carried into the house and received by a woman. "I don't know who she is, but I found her in the road," explained her rescuer. "There is blood on her hair, and I think she was struck down." "We'll do all we can," replied the man and the woman together, "but you mustn't look for much. We are mighty poor folks. We hain't got no camphor nor whisky, and as for getting a doctor out from town—it can't be done tonight." The girl was carried into the only bedroom and laid on the only bed, and when her wet clothing had been removed and she was between the sheets, the woman got a cloth and a basin of water and washed away the blood and whispered to the stranger: "I don't think she's bad hurt. She's just fainted away with the scare of it. When she opens her eyes I'll tell her to go to sleep, and she'll be all right in the morning." "Do you think it's some young lady from the village?" asked the stranger of the farmer as they talked in whispers in the outer room. "No, I don't reckon so. I reckon it's that new girl that arrived at Turner's a few days ago. I saw her going towards the village two hours ago." "Arrived at Turner's! Say, man, are you sure? Is it a strange girl to the neighborhood?" "Ive heard say it was Uncle Bob's niece, and that she come from the city. What alls you, stranger? Does this storm upset you?" It wasn't the storm. Percy Kincald had quarreled with the girl he loved and had asked to be his wife. It was about nothing, almost, as most lovers' quarrels are, but pride on either side held off a reconciliation until the lover finally learned that Miss Minnie had gone on a journey and left no word for him. She was going to spend Thanksgiving week in the country. Within two days she had relented; within three he was making every effort to locate her, that he might patch up a peace. He had succeeded. He was going to throw himself on her mercy and ask Uncle Robert for a place at his Thanksgiving table. The storm grew fiercer as the night advanced. The girl woke and then slept a dreamless sleep, and the lover had long hours in which to ponder and think. When another day came even the cattle could not face the storm nor man move from his door. It was Thanksgiving day. At Uncle Robert's there was a feast to be spread; at Bradley's there was hardly better than poorhouse fare. But the victim of the accident was no longer in bed, and the rescuer no longer cared about the weather, and the farmer folks looked at each other and smiled and whispered: "Even if we had a turkey and cranberry sauce I don't believe they'd eat a single mouthful. They've just sorter found each other, and are tickled to death." And when at last they could make their way to Turner's, and Uncle Bob stuttered and Aunt Harriet cried for joy, Miss Minnie asked in a way that was almost heartless: "Why do you take on so? I never had such a lovely Thanksgiving in all my life!" (Copyright, 1912, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ALL SHOULD GIVE THANKS Every Life and Every Heart in the Land Has Some Occasion for Gratitude. In their proclamations designating tomorrow as Thanksgiving day, the president and the governors of states have set forth in dignified and due order reasons why the people of this country should give thanks. But every life and every heart in all the land has some occasion for special utterance of gratitude. Formal, official proclamations from the highest executive authorities may furnish suggestions for equally formal prayers in churches tomorrow, prayers in acknowledgment of divine favors received by us as a people and as individuals. Cruden condenses the teachings of New Testament writers into his definition of thanksgiving: "An acknowledging and confessing, with gladness, the benefits and mercles which God bestows either upon ourselves or others." As "every heart knoweth its own sorrow," so every life knows its own occasion for gratitude. And no heart has so great sorrow and no life so sad mourning but reason for thanksgiving is manifested in just those "benefits and mercles."

Johnson, ex-president of the National Medical association, and who served three terms as chairman of the executive committee, is of the opinion that the south is destined to be a great field for efficient colored doctors and surgeons. This conclusion was formed while he was attending the recent session of the National Medical association at Tuskegee institute, Alabama, when he participated in the interesting clinics and came in contact with the physicians and surgeon of the south, whose efficiency was in the nature of a revelation to him. Dr. Johnson became so deeply interested in one of the cases during the session of the National Medical association that he is treating the patient by mail, although the case is an aggravated one. The patient is a sixteen-year-old gold who lives about 30 miles from Tuskegee. For ten months she has been under the care of a doctor who was treating her for pulmonary tuberculosis. An examination by Dr. Johnson showed that she had Bright's disease. Emaculated and weighing only a few pounds, the sick girl has not been able to sleep in bed for five months for fear of smothering to death. Since she was given medical aid at Tuskegee institute her condition is much improved. The need of additional capable doctors in the south is further emphasized by Dr. Johnson in relating a case in which a male patient, fifty years old, was being treated for indigestion when an examination by doctors attending the session of the National Medical association showed that he was suffering with the enlargement of the heart. Dr. Johnson was shocked to find that in many parts of the south no record is kept of the death of a negro, a condition he did not think existed anywhere in the United States. It is commonly reported that the number of mulattoes is decreasing, and observation in the south tends to confirm that view, but the census returns show an increase for the country generally. Among mulattoes are included all persons except full blood negroes, who show any trace of negro blood. In 1910 the census enumerated 9,827,763 negroes of whom 2,050,686 or 20.9 per cent, were reported as mulattoes. In 1830 there were counted 7,488,676 negroes of whom 1,132,060 or 15.2 per cent, were reported as mulattoes. In 1870 there were counted 4,880,000 negroes of whom 584,049 or 12 per cent, were reported as mulattoes. This showing of a steady increase would be alarming but for the accompanying suggestion that it does not necessarily mean a growing intermixture of whites and negroes, and that it may be accounted for by a growing intermixture of mulattoes and full-blood negroes, and the marriages between mulattoes is increasing, it may still be true that fewer children are born of pure white and black parents than formerly. From the southern point of view it is encouraging to find that the comparison of states shows relatively fewer mulattoes where the negro population is densest. In New England, the east north central, and in the Pacific states about one-third of the negroes are reported as mulattoes, while a general average of about twenty per cent, is the estimate. It is strange that the average writer on this subject never reckons with the fact that marriages between mulattoes increases the number of mulattoes.—Macon Telegraph. The negro soldier has demonstrated his ability to serve with less loss of time from active duty by reason of sickness than the white enlistment. According to the annual report of Surgeon General George H. Torney, made public today, the non-effective rate of the colored soldier was 25.88, while that of the white soldier was 33.60; the Porto Rican, 29.78, and the Filipino 18.86. The report likewise shows that the white troops required the highest average number of days treatment for each case of disability. The Porto Rican had the highest rate for admissions to hospitals and for deaths and the colored troops the highest rate for discharge. Things which never could make a man happy develop a power to make him strong. Strength, and not happiness, or, rather, only that happiness which comes by strength, is the end of human living.—Phillips Brooks. With all sublunary entries, this is the question of questions. What talent is born to you? How do you employ that?—Carlyle. You find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful peopde—why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others? Half the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy.—L. M. Child. Anxiety and ennul are the Scylla and Chayrbis on which the bark of human happiness is most commonly wrecked.—W. Lecky. He who speaks honestly cares not, needs not care, if his words be preserved to the remotest time—Carlyle. "Have you a man to take care of our farm?" "We wish a young woman to teach domestic science in our city school?" "We need skilled mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting, and blacksmithing?" "Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town." There are some of the many calls that assail the principal of Tuskegee institute at all seasons of the year. It is reasonably so. The change of the trend of education among both white and black; the increase of wealth and courage to venture into business among negroes; the higher and higher esteem into which the skilled negro workmen are rising—all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some 30 odd of these industries are taught. There are millinery, dressmaking, ladies' tailoring, upholstering and mattressmaking, domestic science, laudering and gymnastics for girls; there are shoemaking, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinet making, tinsmithing, printing, harness making, mechanical and architectural drawing, mechanical, electrical and steam engineering for boys; and there are dalrying, swine raising, truck farming, poultry raising, stock raising, floriculture, landscape gardening, veterinary science, fruit growing and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agricultural trades for both boys and girls. This again is the modern trend of things. Therefore let no one halt at the idea of young women entering the agricultural trades. Moreover, experience and experiments at Tuskegee institute are demonstrating that the young woman is just as apt and able a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the science of feeds in the poultry yard, with packing and handling fruit in the orchard as she is with grammatical syntax in the class room, and just as quick and aggressive as her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto restricted these trades. The colored man that proposed a negro flag has certainly lost his bearings. And he is said to be a bishop, too. Well, whoever he is, he has a right to his private opinions, about whatsoever, but when he breaks into print with the object of influencing and teaching he should be cautious. Of course no harm follows, but it makes the race appear silly and foolish. How is it possible to get a flag under the conditions? Flags stand for something. We think the bishop would be ashamed if he was driven to the possible source of his flag getting. The Africans, apparently, have not worried themselves about what banner they essayed their wars under, or cultivated their fields in peace. Perhaps he would not be ashamed of the source of his extraction, but ashamed of the actual banner if they had any. The art of manufacturing cloth did not spring up in our portion of Africa. It would be too bad to hark back to the Garden of Eden in the hopes of finding a vestige of cloth sufficient for a flag design.—Indianapolis Freeman. A man who lives right and is right has more power in his silence than another has by his words. Character is like bells which ring out sweet music, and which, when touched, accidentally even resound with sweet music.—Phillips Brooks. At the recent meeting of the Negro Business League the most striking story of financial success was that of Watt Terry, a young negro, who in 1900 went from Virginia to Brockton, Mass., with a capital of 15 cents. He worked as coachman, janitor, porter and shoemaker, and finally became a real estate broker. In the last named occupation his success has been so great that at the present time he reports that his income ranges from $6,000 to $7,000 a month. One great value of initiative is the conquering of fear. Through all history we find that those that have accomplished things lived above fear. Fear of adverse criticism, fear of hardship, fear of failure, all were lost in a supreme effort to share with their fellow men the gifts entrusted to them.—Blanche Blessing. Talents are best nurtured in solitude: character is best formed in the stormy billow of the world.—Goethe. Have it a fixed principle that getting into any scornful way is fatal to the best that is in you.—Bushnell. The world always judges a man (and rightly too) by his little faults which he shows a hundred times a day, rather than by his great virtues which he discloses perhaps but once in a lifetime and to a single person.—Lowell. Take warning by the misfortuner of others, that others may not take example from you.—Saadi. Carry your cross with patient sub mission, and in the end it will carry you.—Thomas a Kempls. MAKE CHEAP LOANS German Co-Operative Credit System for Workers and Farmers. United States Ambassador Reports on System of Banks Which Serves the Artisan, the Workman, and the Small Business Man. Washington.—The German artisan, as well as the German farmer, has provided himself with financial machinery to assist him in the conduct of his business. As with the farmer, cooperation is the basis of his banking scheme—cheap credit and quick credit is obtained for him by offering a collective guaranty. What he could not secure alone he finds readily obtainable when he combines his limited resources with those of his fellow-workmen. The system of banks which serves the artisan, the workman, and the small business man of the towns of Germany is known as the Schulze-Delitzsch system. As the membership of these banks includes a high percentage of agriculturists and their operations have an important bearing upon the question of financing the farmers. Ambassador Leishman has included this system in the investigation which he is making in connection with President Taft's effort to establish co-operative credit in this country for the benefit of the American farmer. As the social structure of the town is more complex than that of the farming community, so the structure of the Schulze-Deltitzsch or urban co-operative banks is more complex than that of the rural banks of the Raiffeisen type. Their membership includes men from many walks of life and of varying degrees of financial standing. It has been found necessary, therefore, to supply these banks with a larger foundation capital than is the case with the farmers' banks of the Raiffeisen type. The collective guaranty offered by the farmers is, indirectly, a land guaranty. The guaranty of town residents is not so well defined. Therefore, the members of the urban banks are required to subscribe a comparatively large amount for capital stock, and the banks operate upon this cash basis more in the manner of other banks than is the case with the Raiffeisen banks, which operate almost entirely upon the guaranties given by the members and with only a practically nominal capital. Also the urban banks do more of a general banking business. Their larger cash capital makes this possible for them. They do not depend for their funds upon central co-operative banks, but receive loans from outside banks. They maintain and seek to pay dividends upon their capital stock. This dividend runs generally from 5 to 7 per cent., but a few of the Schulze-Dellitzsch banks of Germany pay as high as 10 per cent., and a dividend of 25 per cent. is not unknown. The primary object of the urban banks is to furnish their members with cheap, quick money. They lend in two forms—loans on current account and loans for fixed periods. Loans on current account comprise something over 40 per cent. of the banks' business. Loans for fixed periods are made on pledge or by discounting bills of exchange. Also loans on mortgage form about 10 per cent. of their total loans. A small number of loans are granted without guaranty of any sort. Capital shares in the Schutzte-Delitzsch banks average a little over $90. The liability of a shareholder is generally limited. The rate of interest paid for their money by these banks averages about $3\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of the total working capital, while the gross profits average about $5\frac{1}{4}$ per cent of the working capital. Deducting from this margin the cost of operating the banks and other expenses there is still left a net profit for distribution averaging about $8\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of the share capital. A portion of this net profit is carried over as reserve and the remainder distributed as dividends. Surplus funds not needed by the banks in making loans to members are deposited with outside banks or are invested in first-class securities. The urban banks in three provinces in Germany have organized central banks, but for the most part the banks are able to obtain money satisfactorily from outside banks, and the three provincial central banks are not of much importance. The urban banks do, however, maintain current accounts with the Dresden Bank, a private bank, in order to facilitate the movement of their funds and to equalize their debts and credits. "MOVIES" RUINING SALOONS. Moving picture shows have practically ruined the saloon business of the national capital, according to investigations of the excise board. Although the new license year began November, only 175 applications have been made for renewal of retail licenses. Last year 513 retail liquor licenses were taken out and unless business picks up during the next few days the board anticipates only one third of the regular saloon business will be in force during the coming year NEW RULING IN NAVY. All young officers in the navy will hereafter serve at least one year on gunboat duty, according to a new plan of detailing announced at the navy department. The navy department regards gunboat duty as highly important, because the gunboat officers are thrown on their own resources to larger extent than on the battleships and more quickly learn self-reliance and confidence in their own abilities. In the future the period of duty for all gunboat officers, except the commander, will be one year. At the end of this period they will be ordered to the battleships and armored cruisers. With this new system a greater number of officers will have the advantage of gunboat training than is now the case. The officers will have, while on gunboat duty, larger individual responsibilities and range duties. It is expected the new plan of one year details will make gunboat duty more popular, as such assignments will not hereafter mean long separation from the fleet A number of ensigns of the class of 1911 are now being detailed to the gunboats. This gives them a distinct advantage over their classmates not so detailed, as these ensigns immediately become watch and division officers with quarters in the wardroom. For this reason, only those who have proved special efficiency at sea in the last year are being chosen. At the end of the year they will return to the battleships. It is expected that the same policy, somewhat modified, will also be applied to the destroyers. In this service, however, young officers will be allowed to remain two years if they choose. GRADUATES SHUN MINISTRY. A remarkable decrease in the number of Protestant ministers graduated from the universities of the country is shown in a current report of the United States bureau of education. "It is plain," says the report, "that educated men no longer seek the cloth as they did when the nation was younger. It may mean much or little that the percentage of ministers among the graduates of typical colleges has declined from a proportion of 60 to 70 per cent. to less than 10 per cent. An examination of the figures collected at the close of the nineteenth century from 37 representative colleges discloses the fact that the ministry takes between five and six per cent of the university graduates, which marks the lowest point for that profession during the two and one-half centuries of American college history. Between the years 1896 and 1900 only 885 divinity students were graduated from 37 representative colleges and universities, or 5.9 per cent. of the total number graduated, which was over 14.478. WON'T PAY WARDEN $2. The Atlanta prison cow, whose indiscretions caused a two hours' debate in congress several months ago, and changed the wording of a $450,000 appropriation bill, stirred Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell the other day to write a long legal opinion as to her conduct. The cow wandered out of her pasture and ate up all the neighboring farmers' turnips. She was impounded and Warden Moyer paid two dollars out of his own pocket to get her free. He could not collect from the government because the auditors here disallowed the claim. Congress failed to remedy the situation, so that Moyer could get his money back, and the comptroller the other day added another chapter by handing down a decision that the expenditure was an illegal one that the government could not repay. The warden will make another appeal to congress for his two dollars. TEA ROOM IN U. S. TREASURY Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh has officially recognized tea as one of the rights of women by authorizing the opening of a "tea room" in the treasury department, where 100 individual pots of tea keep up a merry song during the lunch hour. The new tea room is the only one under Uncle Sam's protection. Some time ago indiscriminate tea making throughout the building caused Secretary MacVeagh to issue an "antlite" rule. The women raised a protest and the special tea room was the result. To Oslerize Roosters. Harry M. Lamon, in charge of the poultry division of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture, recommends the Olserization of all roosters after the spring hatch. He thinks that if his advice is followed, the cost of eggs and consequently the high cost of living, will be considerably reduced. Mr. Lamon has found, after many experiments, that infertile eggs are best for food, and will keep longer than fertile ones. By confining, killing or selling all male birds after the breeding season, Mr. Lamon says the farmers of this country will prevent an annual loss of $15,000,000 in eggs. The statement made by Mr. Lamon is cheering news to the poultry keepers of Washington, whose roosters are under ban of the health office. There's a Reason. "Why do you wish to divorce her, because she doesn't cook like your mother used to?" "No, because she does." FOR THE AFTERNOON New Sandwich Idea That Carries With It a Distinct Sense of the Appetizing. America has the best oysters and salads of any country in the world. Mrs. Lily Haxworth Wallace, the English cooking expert, told the women at a pure food show cooking lesson at New York. "The best way to cook an oyster," said Mrs. Wallace, "is not to cook it at all. There is an English saying, 'The more you do to an oyster the more it will do to you.' That means that the more you cook it the less nourishment you get." But she gave them recipes to cook the best oyster in the world, the American oyster, if they were not content to eat it raw. The American salad is the best in the world, Mrs. Wallace says, because America has the greatest variety of fruits, vegetables, and other products of the garden and field. She gave the women a recipe for a new sandwich that a number of them said they were going to try immediately for afternoon tea. Two ounces of almonds are salted and ground for the egg and almond sandwich and passed through the meat chopper. Two finely minced hard boiled eggs, blended with two tablespoonfuls of butter, are added, and the whole is seasoned and spread between thin slices of bread. DOES AWAY WITH DRUDGERY Dish-Drying Racks, Home Made, will Lighten Labor Always Considered Disagreeable. In the removal, washing, and replacing of dishes there is room for much improvement. This duty is usually disliked, but under proper management it should not be distasteful. First, there is the use of the service truck. This is a small table of two or three shelves, mounted on rather large wheels, used to transport dishes between the table and the serving pantry. There are several dish-washing machines, but for the average household they are not required. However, every household can use, and should adopt, drying racks. These may be easily made. If made of metal and glass, with shelves of round wooden rods, lamps placed near the bottom will give sufficient heat to dry dishes quite rapidly. The drying rack should be placed near the washer, so that as the dishes are washed they may be placed within. The washing and drying process may be accurately timed, and a fair standard determined. To give an alabaster effect to plaster casts dip them in a strong solution of alum water. To remove hot water marks from japanned trays use sweet oil. Rub it in well till all the marks disappear, then polish the tray with flour and a soft cloth. When packing plaited skirts for a journey, baste the plaits down, lay them straight, and they will not need pressing when you arrive. A good place to pack necessary bottles of liquids is to place them in an old shoe. They are less likely to be broken, and if they are the shoe will absorb nearly all of the contents and clothing will not be seriously injured. A delicious and cheap dessert is made by pouring the juice of grapefruit over sliced bananas. They should be well chilled, and served in tall glasses with powdered sugar. One large grapefruit will serve eight people. Of course no cream nor lemon juice is needed with this. Cracker Omelet. Beat the yolks of six eggs until light, season to taste with pepper and salt, add one cup of milk and one cup of powdered crackers and fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large omelet pan, pour in the mixture, cook on the top of the stove until brown on the bottom, then finish the cooking in the oven or under the flame in the broiler of the gas stove. When firm to the touch, turn out on a hot dish and serve immediately. Delicious Pan Stew. Use for cold beefsteak: Take pieces of cold beefsteak and cut them up small. Put in bottom of pan, dredge with flour, pepper and salt and one onion. Slice cold potatoes on the meat, then add a few tomatoes cut up or half a can of tomatoes. Cover with water and cook half hour, and you will have a delicious pan stew. Orange Float. Two cups white sugar, juice of one lemon, one quart of boiling water, four tablespoons of cornstarch, wet with cold water, one tablespoon butter. Cook until thick. When cold pour over four or five oranges and the sugar, set on ice and serve cold. Consomme Jelly. Clear soup stock by mixing when cold with whites of two eggs beaten and two eggshells. Let come slowly to a boil, then skim. Add one tea-spoonful of gelatine to ten cups of bouillon. Pack in ice and serve. Apple Dessert. Peel and core the apples, halva them, take one-half slices of bread spread thickly with butter, sprinkled with sugar. Lay one-half apple on bread, core down, sprinkle more sugar and little cinnamon.

Moleskin Trimmed With Chinchilla Squirrel. erence is now given to tailless or white ermine, with the black tails ap- plied as fringe or in ornamental clus- ters. Wntire coats of ermine are frequent- ly seen. Sometimes the pure white fur is trimmed with the black and ‘white tails; again black and white ermine is trimmed with black fur, such as the finest breitschwanz, silky caracul, black fox, ete. These fur coats are ample, luxurious and full length, the right front crossing far over the left, but so cu that the coat is drawn in toward the bottom to give the approved narrow silhouette. Of fine seal, breitschwanz, moleskin and sable coats, there is apparently no end, and these furs are made up into coats ranging from the conservatively practical coat for street wear to the sumptuous evening wrap. Sealskin is perhaps the smartest fur for street or evening wear, and one of the sketches in the large drawing shows an extremely chic model for afternoon or evening wear, made of sealskin. The coat has a high turn- down collar at the back, and at the front there are long revers, the right revers crossing over to the left and fastening at the left side. The back of the garment is also cut in point shape, the point crossing over to the right side. The coat is lined with white velvet.

According to a report by les Grandes Modes de Paris the small figure is fashionable. During former seasons one could find a large num- ber of tall and stately mannequins in the dressmakers’ ateliers, while nowa- days only women of small stature are chosen to show tho fall and winter styles.—Women's Wear. cance fA ag i ‘ {a | JB a Ee P Sa We Gh tie Ga see A poi adhe Sy WS Y 2) oa ie) (Sy a ‘ afte er - DRINK CAPITOL BEER, DENVER'S PRIDE ‘The purity of Capito!

Champa 392 Cash or Credit There doubtless has been an un- usual amount of fur sold this season, for the fashion oracles have decreed that this shall be a fur season. In many respects médels for this winter yary but slightly from those of the preceding season, but this ts to be expected, for much of the beauty of a fur garment depends upon the quality and color of the fur and the fine workmanship displayed in its fashioning, rather than upon original- ity of line or trimming. ‘The most beautiful furs are at their best when severely handled. No ap- plied trimming or bizarre cutting can improve Russian sable or silver fox, and, as a rule, the better grades of long-haired furs are more effective when merely self-trimmed. Scarfs of one variety of fur are much in evl- dence, too, this season, even in the short-haired furs, such as seal, ermine and chinchilla. | Many of the scarfs are three-quar- ‘ters or even a yard wide, and pro- ‘portionately long, being lengthy ‘enough to drape around the body and ‘fall almost to the floor. Ermine 1s usually left unadorned, save for a fringe of ermine tails. And, incidentally, it may be noted that the fashion for scattering tiny splashes of black and faint yellow over the surface of an ermine coat, scarf or muff no longer prevails.

To discover a novelty in gloves is fa teat worth chronicling. The newest gloves bear the name so famillar this season—Robesplerre. These kid gloves are given the novel touch in the turnover cuffs which display a lining contrasting in color to the glove. A tan glove, for instance, will have a red or a king's blue lining, while a white pique will be made very pretty with a Nile green shade pr a soft lavender tint. For very dressy wear, these turn- over cuffs may be lined with lace, just as were the gloves of the dandies of Louis XVI's time. To complete the velvet suit when calling or “teaing” these new gloves are most attractive. ‘To stick in them, by the way, there are dainty little glove handkerchiefs, either embroidered or with colored borders to match the turnover cuffs. Only a few inches square, to be sure, yet these handkerchiefs are wonder- fully useful to touch the lips after a cup of tea. So soft and fine are they that one almost forgets them when they are tucked in the palm of the hand. ——$ ri 0) ee 0 te) JJ ee a FAST, FREQUENT AND EXCELLENT DAILY SERVICE Between Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo via the Colorado & Southern Railway Plectric Lighted Sleeping and Dining Cars—Well-Ballasted Roadbed—Block Signals—Stone and Concrete Bridges—and a service appreciated by the experienced traveler.
