PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV.IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE STRIKE SITUATION VOL. XX. THE ST SIT The coal miner's strike in Colorado which has been on for several weeks has reached a crisis and as a result several strikers and guards have lost their lives in the past fortnight. Strikes of any nature are a detriment to the state in which it occurs, it not only hampers business but works hardships to the poor class of people. Since the strike of the coal miners, coal has advanced at least twenty five percent, while hundreds of others besides the strikers have been thrown out of work caused by the closing down of smelters and various other lines of business. The loss to the strikers alone who make from three to six dollars per day has run up to several hundred thousand dollars, while the operators have suffered likewise. There is no tangable reason for a strike at this time; in fact, the strikers themselves were forced against their wishes by the walking delegates and organizers to walk out. There is nothing gained in strikes only for the officers who draw big salaries at the expense of the laboring class, and whom it is said during the strike generally reap a double harvest from some source. Another bad feature of the situation is that they will not allow operators to import men to take their places, or in other words the men so imported are not allowed to go to work. It is a case of "I wont and you shall not." The governor has at last ordered the state militia at the seat of disturbance and it is hoped that no distant day will find things in normal conditions and thus lift a burden of hardships from a suffering public. The strikers, most of whom are foreigners, has neither regard for life or property and no crime is too henious for them to undertake. This class of people is in the category of the undesirable and should have no welcome berth in American citizenship, and the sooner those who hire such labor wake up to this fact the better it will be for them and the public at large. NEGRO POSTAL CLERKS IN NATIONAL ALLIANCE Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 21. Twenty-eight delegates, representing the Negro postal clerks from the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Indiana, Tennessee and Texas, met here October 2 to 4, and organized the National Alliance of Postal Employes.

Worth Daily Record, Dan McKittrick has the following to say of the "white hopes:" There is nothing quite so lacking in merit and so overplayed in any line of sport today as the heavyweight division of the fight game. "White hopes," they call them. Individually and collectively they shoulder about as much hope for conquering the black leaders of their division as Paul Sikora. The phrase, applied to likely looking white heavyweights soon after Johnson gained full claim to his title by conquering Jim Jeffries at Reno, has served but one purpose, and that had its beginning and end with the fight promoters. Its beginning existed in press tales and its end in gate receipts. The promoter has fattened his bank account and the so-called "white hopes" shared in the spoils. The public plays the goat part of the farce. The use of the white hope ends with bunking the public. Carl Morris, Frank Moran and Gunboat Smith are the acknowledged leaders of the class. The speed of any member of this trio, as compared with Jack Johnson, is like the speed of a genuine plowhorse compared to that of a thoroughbred. Of all the awkward lemons that have been thrust into the ring these white hopes certainly are DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 1 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House HANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO blue ribbon performers. A longshoreman, that is, the average longshoreman, knows more about fighting in a minute than the majority of white hopes know in a day. The recent bout between Smith and Morris at Madison Square garden was one of the funniest things we ever witnessed. Johnson could hit either of these giant fighters six blows between the time they completed a punch and the time they got up their guard. Moran, the other white leader is on his way to Europe. While talking light before leaving, Dan McKittrick, his manager, forgot himself for a moment and turned loose this confession: "None of these white hopes has had any chance agrinst Johnson. I have handeled enough of them to know. Moran, Smith, Morris and the whole lot of them are jokes. Not one of them know how to fight." And Dan McKittrick spoke the truth. As money getters they are 100 per cent above par, butas fighters they are minus zero. NEBRASKA TO QUITE COLOR LINE DRAWN Lincoln, Neb. Oct. 30.—Nebraska university will withdraw from the Missouri valley conference rather than play schools which insist upon drawing the color line. That was the substance of a statement issued by Chancellor Avery this afternoon, as the result of the controversy between Nebraska and Kansas universities over the playing of Ross, Nebraska Negro guard, in the game between the two schools November 15. Without entering into a discussion of the alleged "gentlemen's agreement" eliminating the Negro from conference games, the chancellor said: "I will request the board of regents at the next meeting to pass a rule that the right of students at the University of Nebraska to participate in any athletic contest, intercollegiate or otherwise, shall not be abridged on account of race or color, and Nebraska will not remain in any athletic association or conference where such right is denied." PATENT FOR A PORTER'S INVENTION An instrument by means of which derailed cars can easily be put back on the rails is the invention of W. J. Dixon, a Negro Pullman porter, living at 2828 Cleveland avenue, Chicago. Mr. Dixon received word recently from the patent office at Washington that he had been granted a patent on his invention. He has made no arrangement for the sale of its manufacture. COLORED PEOPLE BECOME CATHOLICS Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 20.—The largest class of colored people baptised into the Catholic faith in the South in recent years was given the sacrament yesterday at St. Anthony's Church, when 35 converts were formally accepted into the fold. The ceremonies were witnessed by a crowd that filled the church to overflowing. More than half of the congregation were white people, and a large percentage were non-catholics. The Rev. Father Joseph Glenn is a member of the Order of St. Joseph, a self-sacrificing band of Catholic priests who devote their lives entirely to missionary work among the colored people. The ceremonies yesterday crowned one of the most interesting campaigns ever conducted by the Catholic church in this section of the country. The work in a measure new to this city, as St. Anthony's is only a few years old and has up until the present time had a very limited congregation. Father Glenn came to Memphis nearly a year ago and since that time has succeeded in nearly trebling the strength of his little parish. He looks upon yesterday's services, however, as the greatest achievement of his work there. The ceremonies were unique for several reasons. In the first place, Catholics rarely, if ever, baptize a large number of people at the same time. It is a rare thing for three or four converts to be baptised at the same hour, as the period of instruction and preparation is so long that the sacrament is generally administered individually. It is also very unusual for the services to be public, or at least as public as they were yesterday. Probably never before in Memphis has such a large crowd witnessed a Catholic baptism. Father Glenn delivered an impressive sermon, explaining the necessity of baptism and impressing upon his auditors the fact that, regardless of race or color, every human was put on earth to work out his salvation and that a strict yet kind stewardship would be asked at the judgment. St. Anthony's boasts of a pretty church and a well equipped school. Father Glenn is now preparing to expand his work toward the industrial field and will soon establish an employment bureau where Memphis housewives and business men can secure reliable colored employees.

Va., is having trouble with the white waiters brought from New York October 1 to supplant the Negro waiters who have hitherto been employed at that resort. Complaint is made by the guests that the service is not up to the standard set the Negro waiters, and one gentleman who is now a guest at this place has stated that the white waiters at White Sulphur are inexperienced and not giving any service at all. Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 19. Josephus Roberts of Jefferson City, a former slave, died today, leaving an estate valued at $25,000. Roberts was born in Morgan County in 1837, and has resided in Jefferson City since the war. He accumulated his little fortune by earnings as a plasterer, careful speculation in real estate, and the profits from a grocery store patronized by his own race. Roberts had long been held up to the rising generation of colored people at Jefferson City as a man of their race to pattern after. Taft, Cal., Oct. 27.—Sam Langford of Boston, the veteran Negro heavyweight, demonstrated conclusively here today that Jack Lester of Cle-Elum, Wash., had no right to enlist in the army of white hopes. The two met in a boxing bout scheduled for twenty rounds. Lester was knocked down for the count of seven in the second round. In the third he landed his only blow of the whole fight—a giancing swing to the mouth that drew blood, but did not harm. NO 9 In the fourth he was knocked down three times and was saved from being knocked out by the bell. When the gong rang for the fifth he was still so groggy that he could or would not arise from his chair and the referee gave the fight to Langford. Mound Bayou, Miss —The Mound Bayou Cotton-seed Oil Mill began manufacturing Oct. 9. This is the largest commercial enterprise being promoted anywhere in the country by Negroes. It has a capital and a paid-in fund of more than one hundred thousand dollars, including operating fund. The managing director of this enterprise is Mr. Charles Banks, first vice president of the National Negro Business League and cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou. This enterprise owes its existence to the State Negro Business League of Mississippi, which, under Mr. Banks' direction, several years ago, undertook to establish a business enterprise which should enlist the financial support of the Negro people of the State of Mississippi. The oil mill was dedicated a year ago by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who delivered the principal address, and by Mr. C. H. J. Mooney editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, who was also present and spoke. Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. 19.—A jury in the Jefferson Circuit Court yesterday gave Charles Washington, a five-year-old Negro boy, a judgement for $3,000 in the $20,000 damage suit filed against Hahn & Carter, canal contractors, and the Iron Mountain Railroad Company, for injuries sustained by the plaintiff on March 30, 1913. The judgment was returned against Iron Mountain Railroad Company for the evidence showed that employees of that company were doing the blasting near Tamo when the accident occurred. Attiff and Hahn & Carter were not to blame for the mishap. The suit created much interest, as there were sereral interesting points of law involved. It was contended by Attorney A. H. Rowell, counsel for the canal contractors, that they had nothing whatever to do with the blasting that was being done under the Iron Mountain tracts near Tamo when the accident occurred. Attorneys Coleman and Guatt, of this city, represented Washington, the plaintiff, and R. E. Wiley of Little Rock, appeared for the railroad company. It is stated that the case would be taken to a higher court.

A. in- ternational committee, with Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Texas, Okla- homa, Kansas, Nebraska, Arizona, Monttina and Utah, under his jurisdic- tion, The city of Loieont has -eaeured AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS This is the story of a negro youth who came to New York not so long ago penniless, alone and friendless, and who has advanced himself from the occupation of sign painter until he has become a painter of landscapes and other pictures. His work has been exhibited in a Fifth avenue art gallery and some of his pictures have been bought by Jacob H. Schiff, the banker, and by art connoisseurs from Europe. Incidentally he has been taken up by New York painters of note, among them members of the National academy. Richard Lonsdale Brown is the name of this negro artist, and he is twenty-one years old. Grandson of a slave and son of a black man who is a brick-layer and tile layer by turns, he was born in Indiana, but when a child was taken by his parents to West Virginia. There he lived until he came to New York. He taught himself all he knew of landscape painting until he came to Manhattan to seek an education as an artist. He told his story the other day in his studio in Harlem. "I was a little less than a year old when my parents took me to Parkersburg, W. Va., from my birthplace, Evansville, Ind., where my father had worked at his trade of tile layer," he said. "When I was old enough I went to public school and when ten years of age moved with his father and mother to Pittsburgh. Later we went to Charleston, W. Va., where I entered a trade school and worked to become a sign painter. "I remained there five years, and being then a journeyman sign painter I traveled through the mining districts of the state, working at my trade. My journeys took me almost altogether through the mountains—through those mountains where, when God made them, he placed scenery the equal of which, I think, cannot be found in all America. "I had confidence in myself and knew I was worthy of better things than painting signs, but I needed the money for my daily living and so kept on doing that which brought me food and lodging, but whenever I could I did landscapes as well as other subjects. I was determined that some day I would come to New York, where I might have an opportunity to do something higher in the art scale than sign painting. "At last the day came when I decided to make the plunge. I left West Virginia with a small trunk and my paintings and came to New York. I rented a cheap room and the day after my arrival started out to sell some of my paintings, for my money was nearly all gone. Knowing that the art galleries were in Fifth avenue I went there. "Things are better with me now than then, but as I look back I can recall the chill which seized me as I entered several art shops with three or four of my landscapes under my arm. I was greeted with a cold stare and an inquiring look. Instinctively I felt the men in the shops were asking themselves, 'What does this negro want here?' "I braced myself and said, 'My name is Brown. I have some paintings to sell.' 'What Brown? I never heard of you,' was the reply. 'No, we're not buying pictures today, Brown,' and the man smiled and turned his back. "I walked for days up and down Fifth avenue and some of the side streets, visiting art stores in my desperate anxiety to sell some pictures whereby I might get food and pay my room rent, but it was the same story That the colored youths of the District are given greater opportunity for education than anywhere else in the world, was the declaration of President Henry P. Blair of the Washington board of education, at a meeting of the colored teachers of the public schools. The meeting was held at the M Street High school. In addition to President Blair, the following other educators of the District addressed the meeting: Former President of the Board of Education Capt. James F. Oyster, R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of the colored public schools; Mrs. Carolina W. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. Creed W. Childs. President Blair declared that with the facilities offered them the colored youth of Washington should "give a good account of themselves." He assured the teachers that the policy of the board in affording equal facilities for white and colored children would be continued. Captain Oyster reminded the teachers and officials that they always would find him ready to serve them. While a woman may be able to turn an austere countenance toward other lures for the unwary, she never is able to resist the temptation to buy her husband a cravat. Women excel men in the respect that they can remember the date of their wedding anniversaries and the ages of their children. If a man be naturally inefficient and worthless, the possibility that he may become a weather prophet assumes the aspect of a probability. everywhere. No one seemed to take me seriously. Indeed, in some places I could see they thought I had perhaps stolen the pictures and was trying to dispose of them. "Day after day I visited art stores, but always with the same result. Then I remembered I had seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art here a painting called 'In the Garden,' done by George de Forest Brush, who painted 'Silence Broken,' 'Mourning Her Brave,' and 'The Sculptor and the King,' the subjects for which he found when he was visiting New Mexico, and also the painting 'Leda and the Swan,' which was in the collection of the late Stanford White. "I began to think that perhaps I was without actual talent for painting and that I had overestimated my ability, and that this was why the art dealers of Fifth avenue would not give my work consideration. Desperate, and with hope nearly gone, I determined to see Mr. Brush and ask him to look at my pictures and give me an honest opinion as to whether they had merit. I called at his studio in Macdougal alley, near Washington square, and told him my story. "He asked to see my work. When I showed it to him he told me I did have talent, but that I needed directing. He promised to help me, and he did. What I owe him in gratitude I can never repay. I went to Keene, N. H., near which place Mr. Brush had his summer home and studio. I studied under him and, by his guidance, my work improved greatly. After the summer ended I came back to New York and entered the American Academy of Design. "Meanwhile I kept up my studio work. I offered a number of my paintings to an art dealer in Fifth avenue, near Thirty-second street, for exhibition purposes. They remained on exhibition for several weeks. There one of them I called 'Mount Monadnock, N. H,' was seen by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, who bought it. Last winter Mr. Albert Andriessen, an art connoisseur of Amsterdam, Holland, who was visiting New York, bought another, which I named 'A Bend in the Stream.' I hope to go to Paris to study next year. "May I say without being thought guilty of egotism or a desire to boast, which is far from my intention, that I think that what I have accomplished and what has been accomplished by other negroes in other lines gives proof that the negro is capable of worthy things, and that the conception of many white persons that the negro is good for nothing but manual labor and such other work as does not call for much mental effort is not only unfair but incorrect? "After a people have been held down for centuries, as we have been, is it to be expected that we should in only fifty years of freedom equal or even approach the white race in every particular? Many persons, even today, gain their ideas of the negro from story books, while it is a fact that many educated persons who have not had the opportunity to know the negro at close range still regard him as but little more removed from the position in society he occupied while a slave. "Meanwhile, the sensible, honest-minded negro everywhere throughout the United States is endeayoring to do the work God gave him to the best of his ability and understanding, confident that in time God will set all things right."—New York Sun. The colored people in the south are better off financially than the colored people of the north, according to Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, in an address at the services of the National Colored Evangelistical convention of America, in the Cosmopolitan Baptist church at Washington. Among the other speakers were Rev. A. L. McKee of New York, Rev. Mr. Hunkerford, Rev. Howard Barnes, Mrs. Nannie Williams, Mrs. Ida Butcher, Mrs. Julia Palmer, Mrs. Lizzie King, Rev. Samuel Lawrence of North Carolina, Dr. G. W. Bailey of New Jersey, G. W. Coffey of Pennsylvania and Thomas Tyler of Baltimore. According to a German official test, networks of telephone wires over a city tend to diminish the danger from lightning. Men and the southwest wind are much alike in the respect that both blow a great deal. A boy fights his first battle with the world and then retreats in the direction of home. German passenger dirigibles carried 10,291 persons on regular trips last year without killing or injuring one of them. Philadelphia is to establish a municipal pension fund for the benefit of employees 20 or more years in the service of the city. The fact that Evelyn Thaw gets $3,000 a week in vaudeville is another prop under the theory that values are fixed not by the wise men, but by fools. PEACE EFFORTS OF GOVERNOR PROVE FAILURE. Strikebreakers Barred From Field, and Both Strikers and Guards to Be Disarmed. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, Oct. 28.—All efforts towards a settlement of the strike have failed. The governor was in negotiation with the mine owners and the representatives of the miners all day Monday, and didn't give up hope of effecting a settlement until after midnight. He then determined to send the troops as speedily as possible to the district. The governor will declare martial law. He is going to the district himself. He notified the mine owners and representatives of the miners what he intended to do, as follows: Close all saloons. He will permit the old miners of the district to go to work and afford them absolute protection, but he will not permit any imported strikebreakers to be put to work in the mines. The following statement was issued from the governor's office. Brigadier General John Chase, the Adjutant General, State of Colorado: "It having been made to appear to me by the peace officers of the counties of Las Animas and Huerfano and other counties of the State of Colorado, by numerous civil officers and other good and reputable citizens of said counties, that there is a tumult threatened, and that there are bodies of men, acting together, by force, and with attempt to commit felonies, and to offer violence to persons and property in said counties and districts, and by force and violence to break and resist the laws of this state, and that a number of persons are in possession of deadly weapons and are in open and active opposition to the execution of the laws of this state in said districts, and that the civil authorities are wholly unable to cope with the situation in the preservation and maintenance of order, and the laws of the state of Colorado: I, therefore, direct you, in pursuance of the authority and power vested in me as governor by the constitution and laws of the state of Colorado, to forthwith order out and assume command of such troops of the national guard of Colorado as in your judgment may be necessary to maintain peace and order in said district, and that you use such means as you may deem right and proper, acting in conjunction with, or independently of, the civil-authorities of said districts, as in your judgment and discretion are demanded, to restore peace and good order in the communities affected and to enforce obedience to the constitution and laws of this state. Given under my hand and the executive seal this 28th day of October, A. D. 1913. ELIAS M. AMMONS, Governor and Commander in Chief. Puebloan Selected to Succeed Harper. Denver—H. U. Guggenheim of Pueblo has been named as deputy in the office of Leslie Hubbard, state inheritance tax commissioner. Guggenheim succeeds E. R. Harper, former lieutenant governor, whose term of office expired several months ago, but who has been listed with the "holdovers" until a successor could be named. Guggenheim was formerly assessor of Pueblo county, and has had considerable experience in appraisement work. Former Deputy Appraiser Harper has accepted a position as director-general of the 1915 Indian pageant. Abolish Land Purchase Bonds. Denver.—What is considered by Register Hoggatt to be one of the most important acts of the state land board since his tenure of office was taken at the board meeting when it practically abolished the practice of requiring bonds from settlers on certificates of purchase. The action of the board will, it is be'leved, be an incentive to immigration and dispose of much inconvenience and handicaps to settling on lands in Colorado. Gold Reported on State Land. Denver.—The state land board has let a contract for the subdivision of a section of state land six miles west of Newlands Gulch so that the land may be leased on royalty as gold placer property. This is the result of renewed activities in the Newlands Gulch district recently. The land will be divided into sixty-four tracts of ten acres each. It is reported to show good "colors" wherever panned. Cattlemen Protest Restrictions Denver.—Governor Ammons probably will be asked to appoint a commission to inquire into the practices of the United States bureau of animal industry with respect to "scabby" cattle, which have aroused indignation among a number of Denver cattlemen. Secretary of Pen Board to Quit. Denver.—The resignation of Mrs. Helen Grenfell, secretary of the state penitentiary board, and member of that commission, is prepared and will be handed in to Governor Ammons. Mrs. Grenfell is making preparations to move with her husband to Houston, Tex., where he has just received an important promotion in railroad work. They will make that place their home. Mrs. Grenfell has already told Warden Tynan of the penitentiary of her intention to resign. FIERCE FIGHT AT MONTEREY Do You Know That— BLOOD OF DEFENDERS RUNS IN STREETS OF MEXICAN STRONGHOLD. CITY'S FALL IMMINENT SURVIVORS DESERTING AND GARRISON CRUMBLING UNDER FIRE OF REBELS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Laredo, Tex.—Heavy fighting was in progress at Monterey, according to dispatches to the Constitutionalist consul here. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF About 1,000 Constitutionalist reinforcements are expected momentarily and the fall of the city is imminent. Federal dead are given at 250, with about 300 Federals deserting to the enemy. Many Constitutionalist residents of Monterey have helped the attacking force very materially. Immense war supplies more valuable to the Constitutionalists than fresh recruits, have been captured by the invaders. These include twelve machine guns, ten of which had never been unpacked, four cannon, 2,000 rifles, 50,000 cartridges, and horses and saddles. Jesus Carranza, General Gonzales and Colonel Laurugia are said to be directing the siege. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Telegraph lines to Monterey are reported open via Galveston but it is said here that only back date business is accepted. Report Plot to Kill Huerta. Mexico City. — The authorities announced the discovery of a new plot to assassinate Provisional President Huerta. Reuben Carrillo and Enrique Meintano have been arrested. The former first gave his name as Louis Padillo. The police are looking for two others, Leopoldo Esparza and Jole Aguilar. A dashing and wealthy widow named Hernandez, and her thirteen-year-old daughter Herminia, are also wanted in the plot. It is said the plan was to invite Huerta to the widow's house, where he was to be assassinated. The conspirators are said to have offered the widow $1,000 as a reward for her share in the plot.

TROOPS NEAR CLASH Strikers Disarmed Following Attack on Mines and Burning of Post-office at Aguilar. Trinidad, Colo., Oct. 30:—An armed clash between state troops under Major Hamrock of Denver and defiant strikers at Aguilar may come at any moment. The troops were dispatched to Aguilar from Walsenburg to restore quiet following the receipt of the report that a band of strikers, outnumbering the guards twenty to one, had driven the defenders from the Southwestern mine at Aguilar, captured and burned the mine office in which the federal postoffice was also located, and captured the Empire mine. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. The militia, after arriving at Aguilar, disarmed three guards and a number of strikers who appeared about the Southwestern mine. Major Hamrock was later informed of trouble at the Empire mine, closely adjoining the Southwestern, and the entire detachment hastened there. The camp has been aroused since the coming of the troops and an uprising is expected. Major Hamrock has orders not to go into the strikers' colony to disarm the men unless the strikers begin to fire from the camp. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction A demonstration was held by the strikers in the streets of Aguilar, more than 200 strikers, led by a brass band of fifteen pieces, parading the streets until a late hour, singing union and patriotic songs, and stopping now and then to listen to speeches denouncing the troops. At Walsenburg fifteen mine guards were disarmed and placed under arrest by order of Major Hamrock prior to his departure for Aguilar. The Delagua mine of the Victor-American Fuel Company, which since Saturday afternoon has been the scene of almost continuous fighting, is agalta under fire from strikers entrenched on the side of the canon. The result of the shooting is not known, but the strikers' attack is said to have been made in force. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver A span of a bridge of the Colorado and Wyoming railroad between Segundo and Primero camps of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company has been destroyed by fire, severing connections between the properties, while at the company's camp at Sopris the explosion of a bemb at Jerryville, a small plaza just outside of the camp limits, created a temporary reign of terror. Gates' Body Taken East for Burial., Billings, Mont.—The body of Charles G. Gates, who died suddenly at Cody, Wyo., passed through Billings on a special train en route to New York. The special has been given the right of way over all other trains on the Northern Pacific. Killed in Railroad Yards.

Labor difficulties will continue to menace capital and aggregate commonwealths as long as the arrogance of labor union cannot be met by free and unprejudiced labor conditions outside of their ranks. It would matter little to the employers of labor in the United States how or where the representatives of the unions might attempt to dictate investments if there were a well established and well known alterna- tive to employ the surplus, non-union labor immediately upon the at- tempt of unions to overstep their legitimate objects. Non-union labor has just as many equitable rights as union labor and is far more ex- tensive and consequently more needy. To make it amenable to the dictates of the unions to which it does not belong and from which it derives no benefit is a form of tyranny peculiar to labor conditions in the United States, and against which public sentiment and public status might be justly framed. Negro labor is the most available to bring about an equitable and decisive adjustment of labor difficulties, for the reason that it is entirely American, necessarily non-union, and at the same time, high-class in its character and reasonably high peiced in its demands. ‘The proposition to substitute Negro labor for dissatis- tied white labor always raises a riotous feeling, but not alone because the latter thinks that prevailing prices are unjust. . Race prejudice plays a bitter part in such affairs, and helps some men to overlook the hase injustice of labor dictations as it eminates from the unions. The Negro is a laborer and secks employment lawfully. Te has no natural antipathy for any other class of labor, and as a rule, he protects his own material interest by refusing to join in strikes or other conspira- cies to dictate prices, He can furnish any class of labor—skilled or common. THe must be allowed a place in the labor field, for his pres- ence absolutely demands it, and while he is unobtrusive, reliable and amenable to law, it rests only with investors of capital who mean to be fair and honest with labor, and who expect like treatment in return, to say how soon employment shall be scattered among all classes with- out regard for the prejudice of race or color or the arrogance of the few who unite to defeat the many.

TWO DEAR OLD LADIES baradinasy cutie ts bitin fae peed she went on making dainty baby things for the children of the brides, and later, debutante gowns and wed- ding dresses for these same children. Always cheery, always interested, hever seeming tq miss the joy of life that came not to her, quiet content to know all things vicariously, she was an institution in many homes, where “Miss Mary's days” were as muck a part of the household regime as the weekly sweeping days. ‘Miss Maggie was “not strong.” That was the way she and Miss Mary talk- ed of the half invalidism that made Miss Maggie unable to partake in Miss Mary's labors. But that lack of strength did not prevent Miss Maggie from doing many things which red- cheeked girls with bounding blood in their veins could not have done. A certain wealthy woman, one of Miss Mary's patrons, contributed a small amount to the support of the home each month, in addition to her pay- ments for Miss Mary's labor, and the two lived comfortabiy, and attained a reputation for charitable works. Was there a bazar in the little chruch? Miss Mary's needlework was sure to fill the table and Miss Mag- gie’s cakes were sure to be the most delicious and the first sold. Did a beggar come to the door? There was always food, clothing and a word of cheer for him. ‘The clothing? Oh, yes! Miss Maggie had no pride or sem- blance thereof. She went, quite as a matter of course, to richer house- holds and begged frankly for castoff clothing for her “poor people,” and she got it and gave it, with a kindly in- ‘junction, a bit of encouragement or a voted text, as need seemed to de- mand. If it be true that vagrants have their code carved and chalked on doors and gates, certainly the gate of their tiny yard must have been cut ‘to pieces or marked beyond need of ‘paint. | But peaceful years brought a grief sto these two. The pastor of their chureh, beloved of them for 20 years, died, and his widow moved elsewhere. Replacing him, finally, after trials, came the Rey. James Martin, elderly, and, strange to say, a bachelor, for # wife is more than a wife to a min- ister. She is a necessity of life, a thing taken for granted. No one could surmise why the Rev. Martin had nev- er married, though many tried. His kindly manner, his gentle helplessuess | in things material and his deeply spir- itual sermons quite won the hearts of the flock, and more brilliant aspirants were forgotten in the general Aemand for the gentle little man who taught such sweetly comforting doctrines, ‘The Rev. Martin took up his abode in the parsonage and found a house- keeper. But somehow, the housekeep- er, though zealous, and quite proud of her position, seemed to omit many of the little attentions that naturally ‘belonged to one ministering to the ‘needs of a man of God. ‘There was a certain shabbiness about the at- tire of the devout preacher, a certain | gauntness of cheek and whiteness of ‘slender hand that made these two maiden ladies, especially, ache for his ‘Welfare. ‘They entered into council, ‘appealed to the heads of the church, and finally it was arranged that the parsonage should be let, and the min- ister should live with Miss Mary and | Miss Maggie. “Here the little front parlor became his study, past the door of which Miss Maggie tiptoed, finger on lip, when the doorbell rang. Nourished by Miss Maggie's delicious tidbits, his clothes kept in immaculate order by Miss Mary's careful fingers, the pastor be- came plumper, and developed a tend- ency toward the making of mild jokes His improved garb seemed to give an assurance he had lacked before, and his sermons became not only consol- ation for the elders and the weary, but inspiration for the young and glow- ‘ing. Miss Mary sang over her work like a canary, and Miss Maggie's se- vere garb became frilly at neck and wrists and enlivened by bows of col- ored ribbon. ‘They bought flowers and real magazines, went to picture shows together now and then, and laughed together like young school- girls over their household tasks. One day Miss Mary was fituing a froth of lace and silk over a bride-to- be. The bride, before the glass, look- ed at herself, and then at the little brown lady before her, on her knees. ‘Phe contrast woke something new in the girl's heart and she leaned over and kissed Miss Mary’s softly wrinkled cheek. | Miss Mary looked up, startled for an instant, and then comprehend- ing. ! “I know just how you feel, dear— bless your heart! I hope you'll be as happy as we are always.” * ‘The little bride looked her wonder. “You see, Maggie and I have each Willie's Education, Willie—“Say, Pa, you ought to st¢ the men across the street raise a house on jacks.” Pa (absently)—“Im- possible, Willie.

Ehaffer of Chicago, has brought about quite a change in the journalistic field of Denver. The News and Times will be published from the same office—the plant of the former—while the Republican will be a thing of the past, other than the plant and business which goes to the News. In politics the News and Times will be independent, and the abolishing of the publication of the Republican leaves Denver without a daily paper in the interest of the Republican party.

MR. AND MRS. N. J. SKILLERN CELEBRATE THEIR TWENTIETH. WEDDING ANNIVISARY. One of the most brilliant and elaborate social functions of the season took place Tuesday night, Oct. 28th, when Mr. and Mrs. Nathan J. Skillern of 1904 East 29th avenue celebrated their twentieth wedding anniversary. The house was beautifully decorated in autumn attire and so tastefully was this arranged that words of praise were heard from all sides by the guests. The evening was one of bliss and everybody vied with each other in making the affair one not soon to be forgotten. Mr. and Mrs. Skillern were the recipients of many presents from their friends who congratulated them on their anniversary, and after wishing them many happy returns of the event and partaking of a sumptious menu, departed for their respective homes. Mr. and Mrs. Skillern have been residents of Denver for a number of years and none stand higher in the community.

DEATH OF JAMES BALL. News of the demise of "Jim" Ball, veteran transpacific barber, was brought by the Shinyo Maru, arriving yesterday. Ball, who was attached to the Shinyo, passed away in a hospital at Yokohoma—where he was taken upon the vessel's arrival in the Japanese port — suffering from Bright's disease. Ball was the oldest barber in point of service in the Toyo Kisen Kaisha, and during the twelve years he spent on the various Japanese steamers he attended to the tonsorial needs of many a famous globe trotter. The veteran barber was popular among the shipping men with whom he came in contact, and the news of his unexpected passing was received with regret by those who knew his cheery smile and genial greeting.—San Francisco Chronicle. Mr. Ball has many old friends in this city who will be sorry to learn of his death, as "Jim" was a favorite among his many associates here. He leaves a sister, Mrs. George Porter of Chicago, and two brothers "Budge" Ball, of Milwaukee, and Burt Ball of this city to mourn his loss, besides a host of friends.

WILL PAY YOU TO CA Rocky Mountain Athletic Association It is a tribute to the officers and members of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association, of Denver, Colorado, that in a city noted the world over for its hospitality, it has been accorded first honors as a place of social amusement and relaxation. Colorado is the Switzerland of America. Its snow-clad hills and verdant valleys, its charming resorts, its rugged beauty are famous the world over. Denver, its capital, is one of the most beautiful cities in America. Matchless in climate, situated where first the eternal snowy hills rear their snowy tops to the heavens, it has long been the mecca of visitors. Its people have been well trained in hospitality, and of that training the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is the highest expression. In offering to the public this set of interior views of its home, the Board of Directors of the Association have only one regret, that they cannot reproduce in black and white the cordial good fellowship that exists among the members, and the hearty welcome which is accorded visitors. The limitations of the camera are understood, so that they will convey an idea of the building and accommodations, but words cannot take the place of the handshake, the smile and friendly greeting. Therefore the Association extends to all men of good character a cordial invitation to visit the Association quarters while in Denver, and assures them that their inspection is no intrusion, but, on the other hand, will give it an opportunity for doing for them the duty which Denver lays upon its citizens. It is the spirit of good fellowship that has made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Association a factor in Denver life, though it is only a year and a half old, and it has occupied its present quarters, 2014 Champa street, since April, 1910. In that time it has grown to 900 members, a part of whom are non-residents, being accorded the privileges of the Association under the provisions of the by-laws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice new building.

Marked Features of Legislation of Year Was Unusual Progress in Establishment of Bird and Game Refuges. partment of agriculture, setting forth game laws of the United States and Canada for 1913, Hunters are required by the authori- ties of Manitoba to wear a white coat or sweater and cap, while those who hunt for big game in Saskatchewan must wear a complete outer suit and «ap of white, Maine, New Jersey, North Dakota, Washington, Mississippi, Louisiana, Minnesota and Wyoming prohibit the use of silencers. Connecticut has pro- vided that any hunter who shall injure a fence or let down a bar without re- placing it shall forfeit his hunting license privilege for two years. Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Brit- ish Columbia require license appli- cants under sixteen years of age to furnish the written consent of parent or guardian. Vermont has a similar restriction for those under fifteen, and Oregon does not permit children un- der fourteen years old to hunt except on the premises of their parents, rela- tives or guardians, Numerous states are restocking pre- serves with elk and other big game. In the effort to protect this game } Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin have protected elk for a term of years, and in Massachusetts, where a few moose have escaped from the Blue Mountain forest reserve into the adjoining woodlands, a perpetual close season for moose has been pro- vided in the hope that this area may eventually be restocked from this nu- cleus, During the year 18 states created game preserves, 14 in the United States and 4 in Manitoba. In Wash- ington the county game commissioners were authorized to create game pre- serves, not to include more than three townships in a county, and the authori- ties of Michigan, Ohio and Vermont were authorized to establish game pre- serves on private lands. One of the marked features of the legislation of this year was the un- usual progress in the establishment of bird and game refuges. By execu- tive order four national bird reserves were created, the Aleutian reservation, containing the entire chain of Aleu- un islands, in Alaska, and the smaller reservations of Walker lake in Arkan: sas, Petit Bois island on the coast of Alabama and Anaho island in Pyramid lake, Nevy., thus bringing the total number of national bird reservations up to 64. Recently the Niobrara bird reservation has been enlarged and stocked with a herd of buffalo, elk and deer, A number of changes in laws pro- tecting big game were made during the year. Colorado and North Dakota prohibited all killing of deer for a term of years and Saskatchewan has pro- vided a close season throughout the year for all big game south of latitude 52 degrees. Laws protecting does at all seasons were enacted in Florida, Nevada and Wyoming. The deer sea- sons were shortened from two weeks to two months in Utah, Wyoming and Quebec. New Hampshire lengthened the season two ‘weeks in Coos county, Vermont ten days, and Massachusetts opened the season in the few closed counties, thus permitting shooting throughout the state. Wyoming and Montana, heretofore affording the principal hunting for elk and sheep, have recently limited the hunting area to a few counties in each state, where the seasons have usually been shortened. Wyoming has adopt- ed the innovation of allowing the kill ing of female elk only under ordinary resident licenses and requiring licen: sees to obtain a special $15 license to kill a bull or an additional cow, The most important changes in sea- tons are due to the passage of the fed. eral law protecting migratory birds. Under the regulations proposed by the department of agriculture spring shoot. ing is entirely eliminated and the sea. sons materially shortened in several states. Restriction of hunting and greater uniformity of laws is the general trend of state legislation in the mat: ter of seasons. Florida repealed all local game laws and made the seasons uniform throughout the state and the passage of a measure in Wisconsin adopting the same opening date for upland game as 1s in force in Minne- sota and North Dakota illustrates the fact. New York placed a close season on quail for five years and Kansas added both quail and prairie chickens to the close-season list until 1918. Ohio sus- pended hunting of quail, ruffed grouse and doves for two years. Pennsylya- nia eliminated the open 6eason on doves, kildeer plover and blackbirds, while Utah extended complete protec: tion to doves, swans and all shore birds except snipe. The trend of leg i1slation during the last year has been toward electing the close season. Delaware shortened the season on POR RARE Os ern al ie eee a ae ‘six weeks on shore birds, rail and geese, and west of the Cascades cur- tailed the season on ducks 17 days, New Jersey shortened the open season 26 days on upland game and 19 days on woodcocks, while Pennsylvania cut down the woodcock season two weeks. In Utah 45 days were taken off the open season on sage hens and in Wy. oming one month on sage grouse and two months on sage hen and geese. The United States is Americanizing the navy as rapidly as possible by ne weeding out all Americanizing the aliens. Regula: tions have been UasaNavy: in effect in the department for more than @ year to prevent the enlistment in the navy of any but American citizens. The suc cess of this new policy may be shown ‘by the fact that more than 95 per cent. of the sailors in the navy are now Americans. | It is declared by the navy de: partment that the policy of not ac ‘eepting any foreigners was adopted because it was desired not to discrim: inate against any nationality, Cit! zens of some countries are highly de- sirable in the navy, but others are very objectionable, It was sald. The de- ‘partment found it could not accept some enlistments of foreigners and turn down others without causing trouble, ‘The same regulations are not in force in the army and marine corps, although there is talk of their adoption there in the near fu: ture. ‘There has been so much trou ble in filling up the army under exist: ing conditions that the heads of the war department have hesitated to ex- [clude etfens | An officer of the navy department ‘said the other day that the new rule /was put into effect because of the de- sire to protect the government's naval secrets from other nations. With aliens in the navy department and on ‘ships there is always danger of “leaks,” he said, | “It is desirable that our yards and ‘ships be manned by Americans who ‘have sworn allegiance to the flag,” he continued, “and therefore we are get- ting rid of foreigners as rapidly as possible.

Anything that is allied to the Osage orange is sure to create interest in the southwest, That plant has proved ‘one of the most valuable for wind: ‘breaks in the west. There are liter- ally thousands of miles of Osage orange hedge on the Western ranches. It has proved drought and alkali re- ‘sisting and will stand almost any amount of heat, while it makes a ‘thorny hedge that is impenetrable to almost anything. The new relative of the hedge plant, the cha, is not so well understood. It will thrive above the frost line, but just how far is not yet known. The fruit is small and round and looks something like a sycamore ball. It has small seed and is sweet, with a sort of indescribable flavor. Several have been raised in the experimental garden and they are being distributed and tried under varying conditions of soil and climate to see what they will stand, The fruit was first brought here and tried out in the experimental garden by David Fairchild of the office of plant and seed introduction. Since then it has been found and sent in by Frank Myer of the same office, who is on an agricultu- ral exploring trip in the interfor of China.

The receipts from all sources aggre- gated $2,082,490; expenditures, $1,924,- 469, the net revenue being $158,030.

The retiring commissioner, Edward H. Moore, who made the report, rec ommends an increase in the salaries of patent office offcials in order to retain exceptionally well-equipped men in the service, and urges strong: ly the erection of an adequate build. ing to insure the preservation of “the priceless records and archives of the office.” Protection of Records.

TOWNSEND DEFENDS JONAH AND WHALE WIFE OF BUILDER TO SEE CANAL DEDICATED GRAND DUCHESS OF LUXEMBURG SOON TO WED PRINCE HENRY OF ENGLAND TO SHINE SHOES The habitual silence of the religious press on the subject of Jonah and the Whale might lead some to think that Jonah has no friends left. His name is seldom mentioned in the pulpit. But in New York a new magazine begins its championship by throwing down the gage to Jo- nah’s crities, Prof. Luther L. Town- send, LL.D., who has been a_pro- fessor of theology for 40 years and has written over a score of rell- gious works, fills many pages with his proofs, many more than the original story covers in holy writ. He remarks that one may well think it “the most vulner- able narrative” in the Bible because of the attacks made on the “historical integrity" of the story. Not only is it discredited, he tells us, but it 1s regarded by some critics as “quite suitable for the amusement of chil- dren, and is labeled ‘The Pickwick’ and ‘The Bigelow Papers’ of the Bi- ble.” If the story is “wholly fiction,” says Professor Townsend, and the church teaches that it 1s “really his- toric,” then we have a right to laugh at it; but if it is “regarded by many intelligent and scholarly people as veritable history,” then the cage is different and a reinvestigation {s in order.

His rea son for doing this is because there have been critics who did “not hes!- tate to affirm that Nineveh, as well as Jonah, was a myth.” Having proved the existence of both the sin- ful city and the prophet sent to preach repentance to its citizens, Professor Townsend leads one :on to see how credible is the recital that on being thrown overboard ‘a great fish (dagh gadhol) was near the ship. ‘and seized Jonah. the moment he ‘struck the water.” He stresses the fact that the two Hebrew words just ‘quoted “mean simply a great fish, or ‘sea-monster,” while the word “whale” ‘is the translator's word, and he pro- ceeds: “So far, therefore, as the Hebrew and Greek words are concerned, the highest criticism makes it perfectly clear that the fish that swallowed Jonah may have been a whale, a shark, a sea-serpent, a sea-lion, or any other large monster of the deep. And even if the skeptic insists that in this discussfon the word ‘whale’ should be used, still one need not suf- fer embarrassment, for while it is tre that the right whale has a throat of small size, the sperm-whale has a throat sufficiently large to swallow a man without the least difficulty. ‘There is not a shipmaster or a sailor who has been on a whaling voyage who will question the following state- ment made by one of the crew of a New Bedford, Mass., whale-ship, that he, though a man of large build, weighing 170 pounds, frequently had passed through the mouth and throat of a dead sperm-whale. He says he did this after the head of the whale had been cut off from the body, and when the jaws and smallest part of the throat had been taken on deck.” THE ZOBEL BROTHERS’ 1004 Nineteenth Street, Corner of Curtis FINE WINES, LIQUORS AND CIGARS COORS' CELESRATED BEER ON TAP DENVER COLORADO The Champa Pharmacy Twentieth and Champa, Is the place to get your , DRUGS, CHEMICALS AND PATENT MEDICINES WH SERVE DRINES.

Delicate Instruments Record Lateral and Vertical Vibrations—Evidence of Selsimograph and Trepadometer Used in Sulfs for Damages. The towering skyscrapers, despite their massive appearance, are rarely absolutely at rest. An almost continuous series of vibrations passes over New York's massive skyline, says the Sun of that city. The rush of street traffic, the action of engines and elevators, the tricks of wind pressure are constantly setting up wave motions throughout the great structure of steel and masonry. The fact that these buildings are, within certain limits, elastic, is of course an assurance of their safety. Accidents from too much vibration are practically unheard of. The problem of the vibrations is perhaps nowhere so complicated as in downtown New York. Here are grouped, of course, the greatest collection of sykscrapers to be found anywhere in the world. The constant passing of subway trains at the very base of these buildings tends to set up vibrations in every direction. The elevated railroads and the surface cars cause still other vibrations. In every office building again will be found considerable machinery for running the elevators and performing other work. This is usually located in the lower basements at the roots of the foundations and the waves thus set in motion travel to the extreme height of the structure. The wind pressure is another important factor. In order to know exactly how a building is affected by these vibrations several extremely delicate instruments have been invented. They are adaptations of the familiar seismograph used to record earthquakes, although less complicated and sensitive. The commoner form, the seismograph, is used to measure lateral vibrations. Another machine, the trepadometer, measures the vertical vibrations. The general principle of the apparatus in both cases is very simple. The seismograph consists of a metal table supported by screws so contrived that the surface may be placed in an absolutely horizontal position. On this table rests a sheet of heavy glass on four steel balls, which are perfectly spherical. Above the glass plate is an adjustable needle which passes back and forth along a sliding bar. A piece of smoked paper is laid on the glass and the needle adjusted to touch the surface. And vibration of the building is taken up by the steel balls so that the glass on them remains absolutely stationary. The needle, however, vibrates exactly like the floor beneath it and scratches a fine, ragged line along the surface of the smoked paper. This line records the vibration of the building with scientific accuracy. In the trepadometer a heavy weight is suspended by a long vertical string so delicate that it responds to the slightest vibration. A long arm carrying a pen is attached to the lower section of the spring. A very slight vibration is magnified by the apparatus, and the pen at the end of the arm traces an irregular line as the spring moves ever so slightly up or down. The pen is set above a sheet of paper which is moved by clockwork. The paper is placed about a drum which revolves once in 24 hours. The irregular line traced by the pen thus records the vibrations of the building for one day. The records of these instruments are used at times in court to decide damage cases in which the vibration of buildings figures. There may be great difference of opinion as to the damage done by the vibration, but the records of the seismograph and trepadometer are accepted as accurate. In a recent case suit was brought to recover damages alleged to have been caused by the vibration set up by machinery in operation. A number of printing presses, it was said, had caused such vibration that the walls were finally cracked. Several witnesses visited the building, but their testimony was contradictory. The readings of the apparatus told the true story, however, and the damages were awarded on this evidence. The most violent vibrations are not found in the highest buildings, as might be imagined, but often in structures three or four stories high of old construction. Such buildings are of solid masonry, and therefore have little elasticity, and cannot take up the wave motion. When heavy machinery, such as printing presses, for instance, is set in such a building, the jar will be very perceptible on every floor. The structure of the modern skyscraper is entirely different and far safer. In it the brick or stone is merely a shell hung upon a great steel structure. The steel riveted together is more or less elastic. A building of say 40 stories could vibrate like a giant tuning fork, could even crack and loosen the brisk and masonry, and yet not be in danger of being injured. The vibrations in a building may be shown with a spoonful of water in a small dish. A glass dish is better for the purpose, a watch crystal is just the thing. Let this be set in any building in the busy, crowded parts of the city and you will find a frequent vibration. The test may be made more delicate by placing a few drops of mercury in the receptacle. You will find that the surface of the liquid is constantly vexed by minute waves. An Accomplishment Most Persons Can Learn. It Looks Easy, but It Requires Special Methods—Two Recipes from England, Where Coal and Not When the first chilly days of autumn come, the open fire claims much of the affection and attention of the household. For nothing is so cheerful, so comfortable and so beautiful to look upon as a fire of logs crackling on the hearth, or of glowing coals burning in a grate. There are some women and some men, as well, who think they do not know how to light a fire; so, if they want to be warm or want to be cheerful or want to watch the crackling fire, they must needs wait for some one more skillful than they to build it. Doubtless there are some persons who cannot build a fire, just as there are some who cannot make geraniums grow and some others whose cake always falls in the baking. But most persons, if they will take the trouble to learn a thing or so about the chimney where they are building a fire, and about the ways of fires in general, will find themselves able to master the art of fire making. Every one know., of course, that a draft is one of the first essentials for a good fire, dry fuel is another. So see to it that you have them both at hand. Even a poor chimney can be made to harbor a good fire. If its drawing powers are not good, cuddle and coax the fire past the smoking stage. Don't burn an all wood fire, but establish a glowing bed of coals and rest assured that the poor draft will prove sufficiently strong to carry off the coal gas and the little smoke that the coals give off. Often even a good chimney smokes when the fire is first built, because the chimney is cold and damp. If you are sure that there is a substantial layer of fireproof construction between the chimney and any framework about the house, light a crumpled sheet of newspaper and thrust it as far up the chimney as you can reach. Light half a dozen of these in succession and you will have the chimney warm enough to start a smokeless fire. On a damp day this same newspaper warming process might be used to advantage, as much moisture and dampness collect in the chimney in fogs and rains. There must always be room for air to circulate under and behind the fire. If you have andirons your task is simple. Simply place the logs so that room is left behind them for the air to circulate; the andirons hold them high enough to let the air circulate under them. If there are no andirons and no coal basket—a very good fire of logs can be built in a coal basket—lay two stout sticks like andirons and build the fire on these. Have plenty of kindling — paper, shavings, excelsior, dry sticks, pine knots or chips—and let this get well lighted before you pile on logs or coal. Here is an English recipe for lighting a coal fire—and the English who use coal to the exclusion of wood should be authorities on the subject. Put some clinders in the bottom of the grate. These insure circulation of air, for they are porous and do not cake down. Over them put a couple of sheets of newspaper, crumpled loosely and lay ten sticks of dry wood on the paper. Put the fire well back in the grate, but allow room behind it for circulation of air. When it is crackling, put on a shovelful of coal, and repeat this process until the grate is sufficiently filled with fire. Another English method of fire lighting is to light the fire from the top and let it burn downward—which at first sounds something like scooping up water with a sieve. This is how it is done: Put a layer of cinders in the bottom of the grate and cover these with a good bed of coal. Then lay dry sticks—a dozen or so—loosely over the coals. Put on a shovelful of coal and then put half a dozen sheets of crumpled paper on top. Light the paper and watch the fire burn downward. Wholesale Slaughter "I'll tell you a funny one that's absolutely true," said Bunny Brewer, who has heeded the back-to-the soil movement and recently taken up a homestead on an abandoned-looking farm. "Last fall, along about hog killin' time, we had some folks from the city out here and a likely lookin' gal—now quicher kiddin'—came out to see how I started the day's chores. "We'll be awful busy today, lady,' says I. "What are you going to do?" says she. "What do you think o' that? Mebbe she thought we were going to butcher a tenderloin steak!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. How It Happened Weary Willie—Lady, I wuz wunst a prosperous merchant. I hed a luxurious home, an honorable name, an' ten bloomin' and highly educated daughters. Mrs. Wellment—What brought you to poverty? Weary Willy—My daughters insisted on marrying highly educated men, and I had ter support ten families.—Puck. BEEF SERVED WITH MACARONI Appetizing Dish for the Cold Days That Will Be Appreciable Portion of the Menu. Two pounds of shank (or any preferred cut). Have saucepan very hot, fry out a piece of fat or grease bottom with butter, cut up meat and place in pan, allowing to fry until scared on every side. Salt and pepper, dredge with flour, pour on boiling water to just cover meat, cover closely and simmer slowly until nearly done. Do not add more water unless there is danger of going dry, for you only want enough for gravy and not a stew. Twenty minutes before serving pare potatoes and add whole with small piece of onion. At the same time put macaroni to cook in rapidly boiling water and allow to boil 15 minutes, stirring often with a fork so as not to break, then drain and add to meat. Cook all together until potatoes are done, take out thick part on deep platter, thicken gravy with tablespoon of flour dissolved with little cold water, beat very smooth, then pour contents in platter and serve very hot. Dumplings can be added, but we never eat them. We like it made of round steak, but cheaper cuts are just as good, and really it is a delicious supper dish.—Exchange. LAST WORD ON PRESERVES Suggestions for the Final Putting Up of Pickles and Spices for the Winter Months. There is still time for a few last jars of pickle or spice to be put up before winter. Red cabbage, white cabbage, tomatoes and onions, are all in their glory. Peppers and "dill," all the end of the season herbs, are just right for seasoning. Take advantage of these last pleasant days to put up a few more things to "bottle and seal." Vegetable Soup—Scald, peel and mash one peck ripe tobatoes; run two heads cabbage, one dozen medium carrots, one bunch parsley and half-pack onions through the food chopper; mince three stalks celery, and boil one dozen ears corn on cob and cut off. Mix all together and add two tablespoons salt to every gallon. If mixture seems dry add water. Boil until carrots are tender. Seal while hot in glass jars. In winter add contents to soup stock, and rich vegetable soup may be had at short notice. Tomato Ginger Preserves—Nine pounds of green tomatoes and half-pound green ginger stewed together. Boil four lemons until soft and take out seeds. Chop lemons and mix with tomato, adding nine pounds of sugar. Elder Blossom Wine. Nine pounds of white sugar, three gallons water, one yeast cake, one-half cup lemon juice, one quart fresh elder blossoms (picked from the stems), two pounds raisins and one pound dates. Put sugar and cold water over the fire to dissolve sugar and let come to a boil without stirring. Boil five minutes, skim and add elder blossoms. Stir well, take from the fire and cool. When lukewarm add the yeast dissolved in warm water and lemon juice. Put in earthen jar and let stand for six days, stirring the blossoms from the bottom of the jar several times daily. On the seventh day strain through a cloth and add raisins and dates. Cover tightly and bottle. Looks and tastes like best champagne. The elder blossoms give it a champagne flavor. Scrub Mittens From Toweling. Scrub Mittens From Towelling. Take an old Turkish towel or new towelling, and cut and make large mittens from it. Keep a pair in the bathroom, hung behind the tub with tapes. After taking a bath slip on these mittens and clean the tub out. They can be used when cleaning the bowl, toilet or tub, as they save the hands, and are better than a brush or rag. Pole in Closet. Purchase a curtain pole the length of your closet. Fasten this at the desired height in the middle of the closet by means of portiere brackets. In this way you will have the use of the sides of the closet, also the middle pole for coat and skirt hangers. You will find this a superior way to hanging your garments against the wall, as you have a cover for each one. Lunch Rolls. Stir together one pint of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Work in one teaspoonful of lard and add a half pint of milk. Mix to a smooth dough and roll to a half inch in thickness. Cut into irregular shape and fry in butter until brown. Serve hot. How to Clean White Sweaters. First powder some lump starch and rub it well into the dirtiest parts; then roll the jersey up tightly and leave the starch in overnight. The next morning shake and beat out every bit of starch, and you will find the sweater will be quite, clean. How to Clean Suede Shoes Put the shoes on shoetrees, but if you do not possess these, stuff the shoes with soft paper. Then rub well with a rag moistened with spirits of turpentine. When this is finished, place the shoes in the air to dry and no smell of turpentine will remain. Fruit Fritters. One cup of sweet milk, two eggs one tablespoon sugar, pinch of salt two cups of flour, one teaspoon baking powder. Add apple, cut in thin slices and fry on griddle. Nice with sauce.
