PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Hints To Christmas Shoppers VOL. XX. Hints To Chr The well known adage, "After a Storm comes a calm," can be very well applied to the restoration of trade and our Christmas shopping, etc., after the experiences of a snow storm, which lasted for thirty-six hours, the same almost unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of this city. While there might have been some interference with the usual exterior decorations of the stores for Christmas, yet every effort is being put forward by the management of the different firms to live up to their reputation in making the finest display in the show windows, as well as other attractive features that will charm and magnetize their patrons by the tasteful arrangement of their stock and decorations. Owing to our limited space we cannot elaborate on all the places of business, but we endeavor to offer some comment on a few of our old, tried and true firms which have always given entire satisfaction to the public, and we beg to impress on our subscribers the benefits they will derive in patronizing merchants who advertise in this paper. First comes the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co., of nearly half a century's reputation in its catering to the people of not only the city, but this and other states, and who have endeared themselves to their patrons as to win their highest esteem and confidence. This firm always has some thing new and improved in its decorations and Christmas goods which they offer at prices within the reach of all. In the large show windows at the corner of sixteenth and Lawrence is to be seen, an exhibit of Noah's Ark with the animals entering in pairs—the same presenting a grand spectacle and reminding us of the terrible catastrophe in those days. There is also a representation of the Moffat Tunnel with the various little towns along the route lit with electricity showing the wonderful developments that will take place as soon as the tunnel is an established fact. These among numerous other attractions will provide ample delight to the sight-seeing population, and the variety of new goods for the special Xmas trade will more than satisfy the general purchaser. Joslin's another old timer who is always determined to be in the face when it comes on competition ```markdown ``` in prices and the class of goods, also special decorations must not be overlooked, as the motto of the firm "You're right-it's Joslin's—A better Xmas Gift for less" is endorsed by the public. The Denver Dry Goods Co., one of the leading firms of the West, with their noble army of courteous clerks to satisfy the most particular as well as the general purchaser, have resolved to demonstrate once more their ability to meet the demands of their patrons by having the latest designs, from toys to dresses and all other Christmas requirements in their late arrival of stock. The management desires that the public give them the first glance before going elsewhere, when they will be more satisfied after inspection than they can attempt to inform them. The May Co., with its largest assortment of Gent's furnishings have added a special Xmas line of goods to suit the tastes of gentlemen of fashion, at the same time not forgetting the less well-to do in providing some valuable articles at low prices for the season. With the staff of genial clerks and every opportunity afforded patrons to make their choices a roaring business is expected. Perini Bros., Sixteenth St., opposite Post Office, the famous Novelty Special Stores, where the latest styles in gloves, hosiery, neckwear, umbrellas, etc., are at specially low prices to meet the Xmas buyers. See the Vestibule for new line of goods, which must delight you. New York Ribbon Store, Sixteenth and Arapahoe, with its upto-date stock offers special inducements to its patrons and promise them some of the latest creations in their line. Lyman's Millinery Store, opposite Daniels and Fisher, is offering a special line of hats and furs at prices so reasonable that no one should miss a purchase for Xmas. Cottrell Clothing Co., with its three big stores invite the public to have a look at their stock, specially at the Main Stone, 621 Nixteenth St. where every attention is given to gentlemen in their outfitting Department. No pains have been spared to have a new line of goods for the season's trade and patrons will feel proud of having dropped in at Cottrell's on account of the bargains they will get. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13 1913. State Hint & Nat Hist Houses State House GIANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO SA Bradshaw's Hosiery and Harberdashery Stores 1443-47 Stout St., must also be reckoned with, as from their readiness and willingness to please their customers, they adhere to them, and for their special benefit, the management in their Xmas importations made such bargains as to meet the pocket-boods of their patrons. As they are the owners of the stores-building they can certainly sell at cheaper rates that the average dealer. Give them a trial. Those who intend sending Xmas presents to their friends, (as well as hubbies and their wiver) would be doing themselves an injustice if they didn't see Carson's Crockery Stores at Fifteenth and Stout, where they will find a large supply of exclusive Chinaware and other articles to select from at very modest prices. It is a well established fact that Carsons lead—all others follow in this line. The old reliable firm of Stark's Jewelery Co., beckons you to take a peep at their show window, 711 Sixteenth St., and you are bound to go inside so many and great are the attractions. Everything sold with a guarantee and the varied Watch next issue of this paper for places to do your Christmas Shopping assortment to select from will surely prove that this firm stands second to none. The Columbine Music Company that has stood the test for years in offering to the public pianos, orchestra and band instruments, have not only improved their frontage by the latest show windows, but have added a large supply of stock and are selling at very reduced prices to meet the Xmas trade. Here's a golden opportunity for our musicians. The Elite Drug Store, at the corner of 21st and Arapahoe, with its choice assortment of drugs, toilet articles, etc., invites you to come and view their latest and improved goods for the season. The Atlas Drug Co., with its two stores at Five Points and 26th and Welton, have on hand a supply for the Christmas trade that is worth while seeing. The White Swan Drug Co., with three good stores, noted for quality and low prices of goods, have made a choice selection of articles for their Christmas trade. Don't miss seeing them. The Champa Pharmacy, Twentieta and Champa, has only to remind its patrons that the usual care will be taken of them in their holiday shopping and the new line of stock that has just arrived is bound to please and satisfy them. Other firms, as groceries, wines and liquors, tailoring establishments, meat markets, etc., advertised in this paper are making every effort to put the best of the season's goods on the market, and again the Colorado Statesman would emphasize that you and your relatives give them your patronage, whether large or small. It is therefore very advisable that you do your shopping now so as to get in your orders before the rush. Tempus fugit NEGROES ROBBED OUT OF MILLION Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 28.—In no state in the Union have Negroes been robbed, actually robbed with impunity and openly as in this state, and today white men are worth millions who built up their fortunes by thievery. Practically all the rich oil fields in this state were originally the property of Negroes. When the restrictions preventing the sale of Freedmen's lands was removed by Congress in 1908, it was the signal for wholesale robbery of these Freedmen's lands, and the white guardians of Negro minors sold their guardian wards' lands for a mere pittance and in turn shared in the fortunes made from oil found on the lands sold. Sarah Rector, the little Negro girl just out from Muskogee, whose income from her oil lands amounts to more than a thousand dollars a day, lives in a little log shack, and wears the cheapest kind of clothes, and is given but a meager education by her white guardian, who doles out for her support but a few dollars each month. Today her income, with but perhaps a third of her land developed, amounts to, $1,030 per day from oil product alone. This is increased by the money being loaned out at a good rate of interest, making her income nearly $400,000 per annum. The white guardian receives 2 percent fee for handling her property, and the little Negro girl, although rich as Croesus, lives in a log shanty, has but the commonest fare and illly made cloths. If she were a white child her guardian would see that she lived in a manner befitting her income and was receiving the best education. Her riches only serve to enrich whites; only serve to enable whites to live in poverty, or next door to poverty. Only this week a decision was handed down in the courts of this state in the case of Adam Doyle, an old Negro ninety years old, who is insane, and whose lands, worth many millions for the oil on them, were disposed of, which practically and clearly robbed him. His present guardian brought suit to recover his valuable lands on the ground that he was insane, which he is, and not competent to make a deed or contract. Rich white oil companies are now in possession of his lands worth many millions, having secured them from him for a mere song because he was too unbalanced in mind to know what he was doing when he signed them away. The decision given in the case was that "he is a man of unsound mind, but capable of some understanding." This queer decision legalizes the robbery of this old Negro and gives to the soulless white individuals and corporations which secured his lands under deeds and contracts which he as an insane man sighed. Oklahoma has many bright Negro men and women, some brilliant and strong attorneys, but they cannot become guardians of the Negro minors who possess rich oil, coal and farming lands because no bond they could get would be accepted by the courts, and because "it is so arranged" they cannot secure proper bond. Sarah Rector, the little Negro girl whose income approximates $400,000 per annum, has a white guardian, and her parents are ignorant, so ignorant they have no conception whatever of the amount of her income and no inclination to insist upon a good education and befitting comforts for her, so little Sarah easily becomes the prey of white men. If the "grand father" clause is found unconstitutional in this state and the Negro secures his franchise back again the robbery of Negroes by unprincipled whites will be estopped and perhaps some of the disposed riches of Negro minors will be returned to them by due process of law. Millions upon millions have been actually stolen from Negro freedmen of this state—taken from them by fraud. Last Saturday evening at the annual meeting of the St. George's Club, the members, in recognition of his twenty years' service among them, presented Harry T. Burleigh with a solid gold Tiffany wateh, inscribed "The Brotherhood of Men to Harry T. Burleigh as a Token of Esteem from His Fellow Members of St. Georg'e Club, November 29, 1913." The rector, the Rev. Karl Reiland, in presenting the token to Mr. Burleigh, said that he felt it a great privilege to be asked to present the watch to the recipient while alive, being so much better than waiting until one has gone to show our appreciation by a wreath of flowers.—N. Y. Age. Religious Unity in India. It is pointed out as an instance of moslem toleration in India that in one of the Oudh districts a Christian congregation worships every Sunday in a church erected at the expense of a fine old Mahomedian Taluqdar, the late Jung Bahadur of Nanpara, in memory of his friend and skikkar comrade Colonel Maynard, for many years district superintendent of police in that district. NO 15 SUFFERED GREAT LOSS FROM RECENT FIRE SUFFERED GREAT LOSS FROM RECENT FIRE Hot Springs, Ark., Nov. 22. The recent fire here wrought great destruction. It burnt an area of about a mile a mile in length and two blocks in width. All of the colored business places were completely destroyed. People are now doing business under tents. It is certainly a strange sight to see. Saloons, barber shops, dry goods stores, grocery stores and restaurants all are being conducted under tents. The district has the appearance of a city after a hard-fought battle, with its ruins and tents. J. C. Bobs, a colored contractor, was the first man to build a house in the fire district. He has at present under construction five buildings, three stories high, two for white people and three for colored. He hires only colored labor. One white contractor came here from New Orleans with a few white bricklayers with the intention of hiring more here. When he got here he saw the colored masons doing such good work he decided to have colored help, and employed them. The white men kicked. He told them that they could either work or else quite. Property lost by colored people by the fire; Valentines cafe building, $25,000; K. of P. bathhouse, $30,000; Chitten Hotel, $23,000; Baltimore Hotel, $15,000; Vistoes Chapel, A. M. E., $8,000; Moore block, $40,000; Dr. Wade Sanatorium, $10,000; Daniel Soles Hotel, $10,000; Episcopal Church, $5,000; John Shawa house, $5,000; Mrs. J. Grant's house, $6,000; Mr. A. Sevel's house, $7,000; Dr Phipps office, Dr. Surtin's Dr. Torrence's office, Dr. Walker's office, Dr. Bryant's office and other properties. I am told by Dr. Wade that the fire loss is more than $300,000. NEGRO·CATHOLICS DEDICATE NEW CHUCH St. Louis, Mo, Dec. 2—On Sunday, November 23, five thousand persons witnessed the dedication of the new home of St. Elizabeth's Catholic Church, 2721 Pine street. The building was the old Walsh mansion. Exercises were held at 3 p. m., following a parade from the old church at Fourteenth and Gay streets, led by John J. Harris, assisted by David Bardeaux and Frank Jasmine. The parade was escorted by divisions of the Catholic Knights of America, Knights of Columbus and members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, under F. G. Kersting, A. L. Wuennemberg and J. J. Boegeman. Archbishop Glennon, who conducted the ceremonies, was the principal speaker. The Monarch Liquor Co.

Harlow Kennedy, 19, and Morris Antoine, 18, were killed, and Clarence Antoine and Otto Kennedy were injured, probably fatally, when a buggy in which they were riding was struck by a locomotive near Ottawa, Kan. “There is but one solution to the Mexican situation.” said J. E. Harding, mining engineer of the American Smelting and Refining Company, who is stopping in Denver after an eight-year residence in Mexico. “The solution is intervention by the United States.” Ralph Lopez, the famous Utah deserado, for three years was a resident of Kemmerer, Wyo., working in the coal mines. He was known as handsome Frank, because of his stately bearing and unusual physical attractiveness. While there he was never in trouble and was considered a good citizen. William Hintze, county road overseer and Sunday school superintendent of Davenport, Neb., was arrested at Los Angeles on a telegraphic warrant charging him with having embezzled $280 of the state payroll and with violation of the Mann white slave act. He is accused of having left the state with Luella Huston, a servant girl in the Hintze house. Mrs. Mary Wolfe Dargin is to receive one of the most important federal appointments in Denver if President Wilson approves a recommendation of Senators Thomas and Shafroth. Mrs. Dargin has been recommended by them to be register of the Denver land office. Her choice is a distinct recognition, through patronage, of the women of the state. WASHINGTON. A poll of the Senate establishes the fact that the Owen bill for the reform of the currency will pass by a substantial majority. Cotten ginned prior to Dec. 1 amounted to 12,081,100 running bales, including 85,760 round bales and 61,514 bales of sea island Cotton, the census bureau announced.

E. P. Bertholf, commandant of the service. The body of Lieut. Col. David Du Bose Gallillard, the army engineer whose genius made possible control of the slides through the Cluebra cut on the Panama canal, was laid to rest in the slopes of the Arlington National cemetery, on the Potomac, after funeral services in St. John's Episcopal church. The United States does not intend to supervise or interfere with the approaching elections in the Dominican republic. A special commission from Washington will merely observe the election as "friendly and impartial spectators." Protests from western cattlemen that fresh meat from Argentina and other countries was not being plainly marked to distinguish it from American meat resulted in the passage of a resolution by the Senate calling on the department of Agriculture for information. FOREIGN. Franklin Simmons, a well-known American sculptor, died in Rome while taking a hot bath. Admiral Enrique Howard, president of the supreme council of war and marine, died at Buenos Aires.

Quarters have been prepared for him at the residence of former Provisional President of Paraguay, Pedro Pena. Somewhere within the confines of the Arctic Circle is drifting Vilhjalmur Stefansson's stanch little vessel, the Karluk, safely frozen in an icepack. But the leader of the expedition is not with his vessel, and is unaware of its whereabouts, according to a dispatch received from the explorer himself by George J. Desharats, deputy minister of naval affairs at Ottawa, Ont. So far the search for the Karluk has been unsuccessful, but as there is a crew of 25 men on board, no anxiety is felt for its welfare. SPORT. Cambridge University won its annual Rugby football match against Oxford by 13 to 3. The match was played at Queen's Club in London. John K. Tener, governor of Pennsylvania, was elected president of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, to succeed Thomas J. Lynch.

Sibley is 63 years old. "I do not wish to see the day when the church will invoke and receive government aid to build our churches or subsidize our clergy," said Cardinal Gibbons, in a sermon at the cathedral at Baltimore. "for then the civil rulers might dictate the doctrines we are to preach." Hans Schmidt, former assistant rector of St. Joseph's church in New York, was placed on trial for the murder of Anna Aumuller, a crime which he confessed after portions of the girl's body had been washed ashore last September by the Hudson river. His defense of insanity was made by his lawyers with his consent. With General Salvador Mecado's northern division of the Mexican federal army practically bankrupt, and with the soldiers threatening mutiny unless they are paid, every restraint was enforced to prevent a general rush of the federals across the river from Ojinaga, Mex., into the United States territory. Renouncing the Roman Catholic faith and also his title as Bishop in the National Catholic Church of America, which he had organized, at South Bend, Ind., after his controversy with Bishop H. J. Alerding of Fort Wayne, the Rev. Victor von Kubinyi and his entire congregation of more than 200 marched bareheaded into St. James' Episcopal Church and embraced the Episcopal faith.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The high mortality rate among negroes from communicable and preventable diseases was held up as a grave menace to the general health of the south by speakers at the convention of the Southern Medical association at Lexington, Ky. Three thousand physicians, representing sixteen southern states, are in attendance. Statistics were given to show that typhoid fever, malaria, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and pneumonia are responsible for more than 10 per cent. of all deaths among negroes. These same diseases also are responsible for more than 20 per cent. of deaths among the whites. The high mortality rate among the whites was pointed out as directly traceable to the prevalence of these diseases among the negroes. The necessity for raising health standards especially among the negroes and of inaugurating a campaign of prevention was urged by the speakers. It was pointed out that negro citizens live under the worst sanitary conditions through poverty, racial inferiority, and neglect. But they mingle with the white population in the stores, factories, kitchens, and nurseries, and so spread the diseases which are prevalent among them. The health of the negro, therefore, was declared to be the most important subject before the south today. The burden of this problem, it was said, devolves on public officials, sanitarians and sociologists. Accurate observation of living conditions and experimental methods were urged. The speakers declared no field is so barren of sanitary achievement as the bettering of the health and conditions of the negro, and that none is more worthy of painstaking effort, presenting as it does the promise of far reaching results of the utmost importance to the southern states. Twenty-two years ago Jonas W. Thomas, a negro of Marlborough county, S. C., began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75, and by renting 30 acres of South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work and close saying he was able to buy a mule for $69 and also 67 acres of land. Then he began renting and working farms which belonged to other men. Gradually he was able to buy the land he had been renting. He also found it worth his while to open a commissary. Now Thomas lives in a 12-room house and employs on his $40,000 plantation 39 families, consisting of 189 men, women and children. He grows a variety of crops, including cotton, corn and some garden truck, and raises his own horses, mules, cows and hogs. He has received as much as $31,000 for his cotton crop alone—400 bales of long staple. On an average he has saved $3,000 a year for 22 years. All that he now has on the farm is his own, "directly and indirectly," he affirms with justifiable pride. In a single year he has borrowed of one local bank and repaid $23,000. "Good credit," so Thomas says, "explains a fair share of my success." Modern football is a direct descendant of an ancient Roman game called "harpastum," in which the object of the players on each side were to seize the ball and carry it, by some means or other, across a line marked on the ground in the rear of their opponents. At the present time the Tuskegee institute has an endowment fund of $1,901,468.32, and its total receipts from all sources last year were $359,493.94, an increase over the previous year of $61,433.60, while its expenditures for the year, exclusive of new buildings, were $275,767.97, a decrease of $48,337.75. These figures at once testify to the practical interest shown in the institution and to its efficient management. A very hopeful item in the account of receipts for the year lies in the fact that $2,544 was contributed in small sums by negroes and one legacy of $10,000 was left to the institute by Mrs. Ann Maria Fisher of Brooklyn, N. Y., a negress. The men who carry the dinner pail certainly ought to have a decent place in which to eat its contents. A recent strike in New York city by 5,000 varnishers was for proper lunch rooms, so that they should not be compelled to eat their noon meal among offensive smells or on the roofs of buildings. The electric bell signal, without some special protection, is not suited for use in mines, as the sparks made by the moving contacts often give off sparks. A new system which is free from this danger has been invented by a foreign electrician. One thousand-foot piers will be built in New York, and the mayor of the city is in favor of making them 1200, to take care of future needs. Most of us feel that Nature intended us for better jobs than we get. Among the negroes in the United States who have made their mark are Booker T.

There is a campaign on in New York for the purpose of raising $4,000,000 for the local branches of the Young Men's Christian association and the Young Women's Christian association. The work is progressing splendidly, the enormous sum of $2,663,011 having been raised in the first ten days. It is evident, therefore, that the money desired will be forthcoming. The campaign has been a popular one, and although a great many contributions of large sums have been received, there have been thousands from people of moderate and even scanty means. This shows the widespread interest which is taken in the movement by the people generally. In the United States 9,000,000 negroes at least belong to the ordinary hard working classes. In all our planning for business success we will not, can not succeed unless we get close to these hard working masses. They are the backbone of our race. We must not feel we are not a part of them nor must we ever get above them. I beg of you in your local leagues that you get hold of the man who works with his pick and plow and of the woman who cooks, washes, irons or sews. These people will put money into your banks and support your other commercial enterprises.

THE VENTURE OF SPIRIT press is the general object to wri teratively address itself, the spirit characteristic demanding developmental advancement are independen d benefits, but persistent daring ending struggle for better condit WHERE progress is the general object to which an element of people must imperatively address itself, the spirit of venture is the most important characteristic demanding development among them. Intellectual and moral advancement are independent needs, freighted always with saving benefits, but persistent daring is the thing that tells in the never ending struggle for better conditions. The degree of daring which characterizes a peoplee establishes the general position and standing of that people in its contact and relations with the world at large, and is the measure of its power in all of its smaller relations. The spirit of venture is in itself an educating force, for it carries its possessors and demonstrators well up in comparisons with intellectual elements and even employs and commands those elements in the furtherance of its enterprises. A man need not necessarily be educated to devote himself to the carrying out of venturesome achievements, whether in business or the larger spheres, although an educated man, possessed of the venture spirit, is better equipped and capable of greater successes than the uneducated man. History furnishes us with many examples of self-made men, whose education was picked up as they went along, but who were really the pioneers of progress. They prepare the way for the people and for the educated and better equipped ventures who follow in their footsteps. To teach a people to venture out of usual and known paths is to make that people independent, self-reliant and strong. The Caucasian has led the world for ages because of his unmatched daring. The nations that sleep, ventureless, are the nations that are being overwhelmed and absorbed. The Negro, particularly the Negro of America, has yet to thoroughly learn the lesson of venture and dare. He must throw himself more generally into the slowly opening channels of business enterprises at home and follow their fast wideening leads around the world. Great opportunity awaits him as it awaits no other people in all the earth. But he must venture and dare as other races have done, and as conquerors must ever expect to do. Negro children should be taught from babyhood to venture at high and great objects, towards which parental judgment or their own imaginations direct them. Repeated failures should not be allowed to discourage them, for failure is one of the natural elements of eventual and thorough success. When the Negro begins to dare to exploit the opportunities of the world, as other men dare, no question of race will hamper or hold him in check, for he will then be on the way to the heights of undaunted manhood.

She was associated with the various organizations of the church and was president of the Sewing Circle and ex-president of the Deaconess Board. She was very popular among many of the residents of the city and was distinguished by her charitable works. She died at the age of 58 years and 10 months, leaving a devoted husband and five nieces in Denver and Kansas to mourn their irreparable loss.

"I've come to ask you for your daughter's hand," faltered the young man, scratching his off shin with his right foot. "Can't have it!" snapped the stern parent. "I ain't in the installment business. When you can support the entire girl, then you can have her." Weaving the Web of Life. Life is the daily web of character we unconsciously weave. Our thoughts, imaginations, purpose, motives, love, will, are the underthreads; our words, tone of voice, locks, acts, habits, are the upper threads; and the passing moment is the shuttle, swiftly, ceaselessly, relentlessly, weaving those threads into a web; and that web is life.—S. D. Gordon. To Polish Windows: There is no need to trouble about water and soap when cleaning a window. The easier way is to crush up a newspaper, dip it lightly in paraffin, and use as a polisher. The paraffin removes all dirt and stains very quickly, and the paper gives a splendid shine to the glass, which not only lasts a-long time, but keeps flies from settling. 1841-45 ARAPAHOE STREET.

Colorado hills and verdant valleys, its the world over. Denver, its America. Matchless in clima rear their snowy tops to the Its people have been well train Rocky Mountain Athletic Ass'n. 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 now building. In preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago. 10 The pool and billiard room is high class. To those who have never played upon the famous Wellington tables with Monarch cushions, a game upon these tables would be a revelation. The equipment is entirely new, with special attendants and instructors at your service. The pool and billiard room is high class.

The very word expresses the spirit of the day. Christmas is the embodiment of joy and mirthfulness, a glorious day of gaiety and merriment for old and young. Let us all be children at Christmas time, and enter into the preparations and plans for the day with youthful fervor. Everyone is occupied with the preparations for the gala occasion. The custom of decorating the homes with Christmas greens is increasing each year. Surely it is a happy thought in the midst of winter at the Yule tide season to bring the greens from the woods. The many traditions connected with holly and mistletoe make them all the more appropriate for use as decorations. The brilliant glowing scarlet of the holly berries and the green of the evergreen have always been associated with Christmas. With a very small investment one can easily arrange many unique effects in decorations for the home and table that will accord with the spirit of the season. Unless the Christmas tree is going to be a surprise, and you intend to trim it behind closed doors in the greatest of secrecy, let the children assist in fashioning many of the ornaments and trinkets, and they will have double the pleasure out of it. The little ones will certainly delight in stringing the popcorn with which to festoon the tree. If the popcorn is strung on wire it can be arranged most effectively. If you wish, you can dye some of the corn red and string it alternately, one red and one white kernel. The nimble little fingers can string chains of cranberries or cut stars out of gilt paper. Paper link chains can be made out of any color to harmonize with the color scheme of the tree. Paste narrow strips of paper to form rings and slip one link through another and paste securely. It is very simple to gild nuts, and they are quite an addition to a tree when suspended with gilt cord. Snow balls are made by packing white tissue paper tight in the shape of an orange, then pasting white cotton on the ball. The cotton is dusted with diamond dust and gives a glittering effect. Icicles are made of white fringe tissue paper that has been dipped into a solution of alum. The green of the tree can also be given a frosted effect if it is touched with a solution of alum. The Christmas goodies can be put in bags of tarletan. Don't forget that the large presents and heavy decorations of the tree should be at the bottom. A pretty tree for the table is the pepper plant, which can be purchased at any florist's. The little plant can be trimmed as a Christmas tree for the central decoration of the table. Around the bottom of the tree is heaped a mound of cotton dusted with mica. At each place is a little red flower not containing a small souvenir which is hidden by a spray of mistletoe. The souvenir can be something suggestive of the personality of the guest. Over the table is suspended by red ribbons a bunch of snow balls of white cotton sprinkled with mica. The candle shades are of ornamental sprays of holly, and a little piece of holly is pasted on the place card. The table illustrated has the star shaped poinsettia for its main feature. If it is not possible to procure the natural poinsettia, beautiful ones can be obtained made out of crepe paper. The basket for the center piece is heaped with poinsettias and ferns. Favors are hidden among the flowers, and ribbons are attached to them extending to each plate. A large Christmas bell adds to the festive appearance of the room. This bell is made on a wire frame 18 inches tall, covered with crushed tissue paper. The little baskets for the salted almonds are made of 12 poinsettia leaves pasted neatly around a small paper cup. For place cards use a white card to which is attached a small bell about two inches high. Tie on the top with a small bow of red baby ribbon. Instead of silver napkin rings use rings made of pasteboard covered with red crepe paper to harmonize with the rest of the decorations. A crepe paper napkin designed in poinsettias would be very appropriate. If one prefers to use a tablecloth of paper instead of damask, the same idea can be carried out by using paper in the same color scheme. Ruffle the paper around the lower edge and have two flonces, the first of plain white and the second of the decorated paper. Candle shades are made of cardboard frames. Cut the petals from the crepe paper the same as for the other flowers, and paste around frame, finishing it with two large green leaves and a small bow of red ribbon. Many of the dishes served can be garnished with red beets, radishes or red peppers. A poinsettia salad could be placed at each place. Slice off the top of a large red apple and scrape out as much of the inside as possible, fill the apple with equal portions of apple cut in small cubes, chopped celery and nuts. Moisten this mixture with cream salad dressing. Cut pimentoes in petal shaped pieces and arrange them in the form of a poinsettia on the plate. Set the apple filled with the mixture on center of plate and use small petals of the pimentoes to trim the top of the apple. If ice cream is served for dessert, pistachio and cherry make a good combination. As Christmas is the season of toys, table decorations which would seem absurd at any other time are very fitting on this occasion. A table with a snow man in the center made on a wire frame and covered with cotton is very effective. Have smaller snow men at each place. Snow-balls placed in groups all over the table may be surrounded with sprays of holly. The candle shades can be made of wire covered with cotton to form snow man's face. The bonbon boxes can be small boxes covered with red crepe paper to represent a Santa Claus cap. Paste the paper around the edge of box, leaving the crepe twice the height of the box. Fringe a small piece of crepe paper to represent the tassel. Around the edge of the cap cut a band of white crepe one-half inch wide and dot with ink to represent ermine. If the ice cream is molded in the shape of Santa Claus in individual forms, or in the shape of snow balls, it will add to the fun of the dinner table. Another table may have a Christmas star for a variation in the way of table ornamentation. A star may be formed of bolly and edged with ribbon. The guests' places are between the points of the star. In the center of the star a candlestick with shades ornamented with stars cut out of crepe paper is placed. Stars of paper are hung all around the table. From the chandelier by means of wire suspend a string of stars. Miniature stars decorate the candy boxes, and the favors are contained in star-shaped boxes. The nut cups are made of a six-inch star cut from cardboard covered with white crepe paper edged in gold.

Harry Thornburg, who was stabbed in a row in a rooming house at Colorado Springs, by Dan Sullivan, died. Sullivan is under arrest. George Yerkes, 76, one of the first to enter the fruit-raising industry at Grand Junction, died suddenly of heart disease on his ranch. A suicide in a lonely cabin on Bull Hill during the blizzard became known when ten miners entered Victor with the body of Mrs. Ves Porter. Little hope is held at Golden that John Classen, a dairyman, has survived the storm in which he was lost when within half a mile of home. James H. Kelly of Gunnison has been elected principal of the State Normal School to succeed C. A. Hollingshead, who resigned in September. Jake Bosmitch, a Hungarian, was taken to Buena Vista suffering from frozen feet as a result of being lost in the recent storm passing over that section. The impossibility of reaching the cemeteries during the heavy snow storm, resulted in the accumulation of thirty-four bodies of Denver persons who recently died. A hand lying in the snow led to the discovery of the mangled body of an unknown man half a mile distant from the hand on the Colorado & Southern tracks to Morrison. R. W. Smith, a Colorado auto and good roads advocate, was elected second vice-president of the American Automobile Association at its meeting in Richmond, Va. James Bonham and a young son narrowly escaped death near Idaho Springs when a huge snowslide struck the cabin in which they were asleep, wrecking the building. Twenty head of cattle were killed outright near Limon when a Rock Island passenger train, backing out of the snow blockade on the Colorado Springs branch, struck the herd. A carload of Greeley potatoes were consigned to Victor Carranza, rebel leader in the Mexican revolution, the shipment having been ordered through one of his agents at Vera Cruz. The Chatman greenhouse at West Sixth avenue and Inca street in Denver, collapsed for a block of its length through weight of snow. The contents of the building are an entire loss. Mrs. Genevieve V. Whitted, wife of E. E. Whitted, general counsel for the Colorado & Southern railroad, and only daughter and heir of the late Alen M. Ghost, pioneer Denver real estate owners, will receive her father's entire $200,000 estate. With the exception of the Clear Creek line of the Colorado & Southern to Idaho Springs and Central City, and the Morrison line beyond Fort Logan, the effects of the big snow practically were lifted from train service in and out of Denver Wednesday. With the fire department stuck in an impassable snowbank half a block away, men and women in their night clothes fled into the street from the burning LaVerne apartment house, in Denver Shivering and in their bare feet they struggled through the deep snow and were promptly given shelter at the homes of neighbors and in the wings of the apartment house which were not in danger from the flames. The feeling between the militia and State Auditor Roady Kenehan, that began when the auditor first refused to pay the soldiers in the field, threatened to break into a flame at Walsenburg, when General Chase told Kenehan that the state auditor is as liable to arrest as any one in the district. It cost Pueblo, as a municipality, only $231.29 to free itself from the grip of the heavy snow storm which for a time blocked traffic and shut off rail communication in some directions. BOARD DETAINS ELEVEN FIVE HELD BY MILITARY COMMISSION FOR MURDER. Report Made to General Chase Shows Forty-Three Strike Cases Have Been Investigated. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Trinidad, Colo. — General Chase, commanding the state militia, received the report of the military commission, which has completed its labors after one week's investigation. The report shows that during its sessions 43 cases growing out of the coal strike were investigated, including murder cases, conspiracy, assault and minor disturbances. The recommendations of the commission provide that eleven be indefinitely detained as military prisoners five of whom are held for murder, three for felonious assault, two for further investigation, and one, Robert, Uhlich, president of the Trinidad union, as a dangerous agitator and alien. Those held are: Luis Zacanelli, who has confessed to killing Detective George Belcher, and Mario Veni, who is mentioned as an accomplice. Frank Gonzales and Mike Guerrierio are held in connection with the killing of Pedro Jaramillo at Aguilar Oct. 28. Abel Martinez, M. Mestes and Nash Lopez, Mexicans, are held for the assault upon Herbert Smith, mine clerk at the McLaughlin mine, Nov. 8. Louis Tikus, better known as "Louis the Greek," leader of the Greek strikers at the Ludlow colony, is being held in connection with a number of deaths which resulted from the battles fought between strikers and mine guards, prior to the arrival of the state militia in southern Colorado. The names of minor offenders who are being detained were not disclosed by the report as given to the press. The Military Commission commenced its work in the Walsenburg district Monday. Wood's Body Found in Wrecked Mine. Victor.—Rescuers at work in the raise of the Golden Cycle mine on the 400-foot level, where three miners were buried by a cave-in on the afternoon of Dec. 1, found the body of Frank M. Woods, Jr., 22 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Woods of Colorado Springs. The body was jammed between a mass of rock and timbers in an ore chute. It is probable that the bodies of the other miners, Sam Sorenson and Patrick Keven, who were working with young Woods when the mine collapsed, will be found. Loveland.—With the death of an Estes Park ranchman near that village, 25 horses were sent out in an effort to break through the crust over five feet of snow and get the body for burial but the horses could not penetrate the drifts. The village of Estes Park with 350 people, and neighboring ranches, is isolated in five feet of snow with only 1,000 pounds of flour for provisions, according to telephone messages received here Monday. Woman Makes Long Trip in Snow. Fort Collins,—Mrs. Edward Rumley has been found safe at the Forks hotel, twenty miles west of here in the mountain, where she took refuge from the storm while rescuers were searching for her in the drifts. She is within two and a half miles of her brother's home. She made the trip in snow from four to fifteen feet deep. Man Dies in Own Doorway in Storm. Idaho Springs.—Overcome just as he reached his own doorstep and was about to open the door between himself and safety, John Bergen, a pioneer ranchman of this section, died some time during the snow storm, probably from exhaustion, at his ranch near Evergreen. Sets Record for Pears. Clifton.—J. W. Parmenter, a Clifton rancher, has a pear record this year which demonstrates the possibilities of Colorado and Grand valley lands. From a 2½-acre tract he sold 1,185 boxes of pears, which brought him $1,500, or better than $600 per acre. Killed Trying to Board Train. Grand Junction.—A. J. Stevens, 27 years old, was killed near Cameo by a freight train. He tried to board the train and fell under the wheels. He was dragged 600 feet. Main Burst;*Water Supply Cut Off.

A PART from the bewildering world of gowns in the loosely hanging styles, with voluminous and enveloping draperies and all sorts of eccentricities of construction, the tailor-made survives. Well-set-up gowns for the promenade are to be seen on the best dressed women, bearing little imprint (and sometimes none at all) of the vogue of the "sloppy styles." Some of the refreshingly neat looking suits are severely plain, but the majority embody a skirt in which there is a little drapery and a charming coat or jacket, with an easy set to the figure. The American woman is independent enough to continue to wear an undraped skirt and a plain coat if it suits her style best. A plentiful sprinkling of them appears in any concourse of fashionable people. But the most successful and pleasing suits are those in which the style features of the prevailing mode have made themselves felt to the extent of doing away with severe lines. Such a suit is pictured here on the smartly gowned lady dressed for a promenade. It is of brocaded eponge, in a dark paprika shade, worn with a small black hat and an unspotted ermine muff. There is a border of ermine on the collar. In passing, one should note that a touch of fur in the costume, used as a trimming, worn with a muff to match, is just about the latest and most successful of fashion's fancies. At the New York horse show there was a liberal sprinkling of gowns in which this combination proved itself most effective. In one instance a costume of sage green satin and chiffon had a shawl collar of spotted ermine, with muff to match. The hat was an Oriental turban of black velvet. Over the gown an enveloping coat concealed the ermine collar entirely when the wearer took her pretty and richly clad, petite body homeward. The advantage in this management of furs'lies in having the gown harmonize with the muff, rather than the MUFFS OF VELVET AND OTHER SOFT STUFFS POPULAR THERE are so many muffs of other things than fur that one might almost venture on the assertion that fabric muffs out-number fur muffs. These muffs of velvet and brocades, plushes and chiffons are even more attractive than all-fur muffs. They are soft, mod erately large and trimmed with fur. A bouquet of flowers pinned to the muff is worn quite as often as at the corsage. Bands of fur as a trimming are almost never omitted from muffs made of fabric. As in millinery, the fur is quite often an imitation of the skin for which it is called, but the fabric outside wrap. Milady removes her wrap, but continues to wear her luxurious muff for afternoon tea or reception or other social event. The street suit shown here has a small waistcoat of net and chiffon, with wide girdle of the material in the dress. The draped skirt has the effect of a piece of goods wrapped about the figure and adjusted to it with a few pleats at the back and side front. The coat has a rounded basque at the back. By way of decoration nothing is needed except what is provided in buttons covered with the fabric which appears in the gown, and the border of fur on the collar. The sleeves are separate and sewed in, much like so many models in which the pretty kimono sleeve is featured. The beautifully adjusted rolling collar and the set-in sleeve are worthy of special mention in this costume. Especially the slender woman should appreciate how well the revers and collar of the coat, the full soft vest and the wide girdle amplify and add graciousness to a figure inclined to meagerness. As to the hat, like about ninety-nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thou sand among those worn at present, it is small, with a novel brim and soft crown, and is made of black velvet. The plume in this instance repeats the color of the gown, thereby departing from the rule of all-black, which would have been quite as effective with the costume. While the popularity of the all-black hat makes a concourse of fashionable women look somewhat somber, there was never any millinery so generally useful. Some women have several dif ferent trimmings, which they put or and off the shape at pleasure. This provides variety, but the all-black hat is appropriately worn with any costume. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. muff, being a shortlived affair as compared with one of fur, does not need to be so durable, and hence the imitation furs serve the purpose of trimming very well. A muff of black velvet shown here is trimmed with bands of imitationermine. Muff beds of down or wool batting are to be bad, some of them ready lined, with soft satin, to which the velvet or other fabric is to be sewed. If a down bed is used it is advisable to first cover it with a thin interlining, to keep the down from working out. The fabric is draped on the bed in a number of ways. In the muff illustrated the velvet is laid in a few irregular plaits, with wide over-hanging ruffles at the end lined with soft satin. It is trimmed with a band of white fur at each end andermine tails finish the bands. Two bands are shown, such as are used for trimming dresses, muffs and hats. Such a furore for fur trimmings has developed that it is predicted it will appear in spring and perhaps summer styles. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Furniture Mixed. Very often furniture of several periods may be brought together harmoniously in one room if the pieces are beautiful themselves and show color unity, says the New Haven Journal Courler. Some authorites advise that a room show only one period or characteristics of a certain period, but this is not absolutely necessary if intrusions are made with thought of intrinsic beauty and color harmony.
