Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY VOL. XX. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1914 NO 18 Last Thursday was the beginning of the new year, 1914. There is nothing important in the beginning or ending of a new year, the occasion only serves for a general review of human experiences and human achievements. In the general plan of the universe, time goes on, marked only by days and seasons, all other chronology being history and mark their commercial intercourse. We live apparently without regard for time, but with every regard for worldly conditions, and thus the life and the acts of every human being are just as important to the general purposes of the world as those of any other human being. This is why thoughtful men and women, the advisers of humanity, grow serious and urge every mortal to spend his life always for the best. Among the millions and millions of created beings, an individual seems to be an insignificant part, but after all he is an actual and considerable part of the whole, and must leave some mark upon the conditions into which he was born. Life must be purposeful and intended for improvement. Everything about us denotes that it is not for pastime or waste. The paths of individuals, races or nations should be ever upward. The world's history becomes higher and better. More than one hundred years ago, when the nineteenth century began, the Negro race in America was in slavery and hardly dreamed of the possibility of emancipation. At the close of the century slavery was almost a tradition, and by far the greater portion of the race knows of its baneful curse only through the chronicles of history, the strange accounts of the elder people, or the marks and scars of lowly conditions which the dread institution left behind. In the fifty years that have passed since emancipation a new Negro race has come upon the plane of action, along with a new Caucasian race, and to us all the present is far removed from the generation gone before. But the Negro of the slavery day was made of good stuff or else we would not have made the improvement which we know we have made. ```markdown ``` And just so upon all depends the strength, the worth and the ability of the American Negro of the present century and the distant future, and none can tell but that we may influence the future of the Negro race throughout the world. In the past fifty years, to a great extent, we have merely drifted with the tide of human progress. But human races do not drift far or long in this world. Oblivion soon overtakes those who do not exert themselves and become a potent force for good in the world's civilization, whether individuals, races or nations. In the next fifty years the Negro is called upon to do a most important work. Our general conditions at present are humble and lowly, and not even medium in races in America who are in touch with the tide of human progress. By self-assertion and self-improvement we are now being called upon to make the future bright and secure. Many recent events plainly indicate that we are being left entirely to our own responsibility, and that we shall rise or fall upon the exercise of our own genius. We are face to face with the most trying demands of the world's stern realities and the Negro's highest and most sober qualities are now called upon to meet the conditions through which we must pass. Indolence and vice are the two greatest dangers that menace us. With them overcome, we have qualities and virtues to compete with the balance of humanity. We are slowly gaining a foothold in the industrial and commercial world. Negro brains and Negro genius are beginning to indicate the glorious possibilities of a vast unsuppressable future in the world of letters and art. We have Negro soldiers of glorious promise. But with all of our prospects, we are confronted and burdened with a racial prejudice that must be beaten down and overcome. It feeds upon our vices and glories in our indolence, but every high and noble achievement of ours is a trust at its most vital parts. To the Negroes of America we would say that the most vital duty of the coming year and the present hour is an unending crusade against our own great weaknesses, for with them removed our future successes cannot be dimmed or stayed. Let vice and crime and indolence and inaction and every form of worthlessness existent among us be no longer spared because of our sorry past or for any other reason, but let the good of our race and the glory of God start us and keep us upon a course that shall strengthen and increase our virtues until the Negro shall DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

COLORED LABOR IS COMPLIMENTED Lafayetteville, N. C., Dec. 20. Ten of the Ashley and Baily silk mills were recently put up at auction and sold. The home office of these mills is located in Paterson, N. J. There are five plants in New Jersey, four in Pennsylvania and one in Fayetteville. Some remarkable statements about the colored labor employed in the local mill here have been made by the owners, which puts the Negro laborer in a most favorable light. In complimenting the Negro one of the proprietors declared: "It can be truthfully said of the labor at the Fayetteville mill that it is better bred, better behaved, more industrious, more elastic and with all of this it is more cleanly." This statement was made in a comparison with labor in other parts of the State. There are between four hundred and five hundred colored boys and girls employed in the mill at Fayetteville. The physician who has charge of the medical service says that with the exception of two vaccinations no other medical attention has been necessary for months. Furthermore the mill has been practically free from accidents, which exceptional record speaks well of the skill of the Negro laborers. In various sections of the State silk and cotton mills are being erected where skilled colored labor will be used. MANY ATTEND FUNERAL OF MAJ JNO, BUCKNER Chicago, Ill, Dec. 23.—The funeral of Maj. John C. Buckner, who died Wednesday, December 17, at his residence, 3638 South Dearborn street, was held Sunday at the 7th Regiment Armory and was largely attended by friends and members of the 7th Regiment. Fully 10,000 people were present at the services. It was the largest funeral of a colored citizen that has ever taken place in Illinois and attended by more honorable and distinguished men. The arrangements were in charge Oscar DePriest, his life-long friend and former County Commissioner. The services were in charge of the Odd Fellows, the deceased having been a member of the Golden Fleece Lodge. Congressman Martin B. Madden, who was a personal friend of the deceased, came from Washington to attend the funeral and to deliver an eulogy. He was an honorary pallbearer. The deceased was prominent in civic and philanthropic work. He was a member of the Forty-first and Forty-second Illinois House of Representatives. At the time of his death he was a deputy collector of Internal Revenue for the United States Government. As chief of the Fraternal Bureau under the Illinois Emancipation Commission, he threw his whole heart and soul into the work. His last public act was a journey in the interest of this commission, paying an official visit to the Emancipation Exposition in the City of New York. RED CANDY AND VERMIFUGE (Buffalo, N. Y., Commercial) Booker T. Washington writes in the November World's Work: "At one time when I was a young boy working in the coal mines of West Virginia, I came out of the mine after a hard day's work feeling tired, sick and discouraged. A neighbor, wishing to cheer me up and make me feel better, offered me a large red stick of candy. That candy looked good to me and I took it eagerly. My mother, who knew my condition and my needs, told me that it was not candy that I needed, but a good dose of vermifuge, which is about the worst tasting and smelling medicine, I firmly believe, that was ever concocted. However, it was in general use in those days for almost every real and imaginary ailment. In fact, vermifuge was about the only medicine on sale at that time in the coal mining districts of West Virginia. Contrary to my mother's advice I took the candy and put the vermifuge aside. The next day I came out of the coal mine feeling no better, and the next day I was still worse. Finally I decided to follow the advice of mother and take my medicine. So I threw back my head and held my nose while my mother forced the nasty stuff down with a large spoon. The next day, however, I felt fine Now in my experience in working with my race I found that the Negro meets with two classes of advisors each of which is equally well-meaning and kindly disposed. One class of advisers hands him the red candy and the other offers the vermifuge Very often it has been a hard task for me to make certain kinds of colored people see that it is the vermifuge the race needs rather than the candy. Still the Negro is learning this lesson, and nothing gives me more genuine satisfaction at the present time than to note that the great masses of my race in every part of the country are willing to take the vermifuge in place of the red candy. Rise Of Negro Race Forecast Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 29. Social conditions in the United States are tending to develop in the Negro a racial consciousness and to organize a Negro nationality, declared Robert F. Park, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, today before the American Sociological Society, which is meeting here jointly with the American Economic association. Professor Park spoke on "Racial Assimilation Within Secondary Groups." "The nationalizing tendency among the Negroes of this country is the result of the white man's ostracism of his black brother," Professor Park said. He criticised the public utterances of Senator Vardaman of Mississippi and Governor Blease of South Carolina, STATE HAS DUTY "A race which has attained the character of a nationality may still retain its loyalty to the state of which it is a part, but only insofar as that state incorporates, as an integral part of its organization, the practical interests, the aspirations and the ideals of that nationality. "In the South, the race seems to be tending in the direction of a biracial organization of society in which the Negro is gradually gaining a limited autonomy. "It is hard to estimate the net effect of the white man's isolation of the Negro. One of the most important effects has been to establish a common interest among all the different colors and classes of the race. This sense of solidarity has grown up gradually with the organization of the Negro people. "It is stronger in the South where segregation is more complete than it is in the North, where, twenty years ago, it would have been safe to say that it did not exist. Gradually, imperceptibly, within the larger world of the white man, a smaller world, the world of the black man, is silently taking form. OLD SPIRIT EXISTS "No doubt kindly relations between the individual members of the races do exist in the South, and to an extent not known in the North. As a rule, it will be found that these kindly relations had their origin in slavery. The men who have given the tone to political discussion in the Southern states in recent years are men who did not own slaves." At a business meeting the foll- NO 18 ing officers were elected: President—Edward Rose, University of Wisconsin. First vice president—George E. Vincent, president of the University of Minnesota. Second vice president—George E. Howard, University of Nebraska. Members of the executive committee—E. T. Devine, Columbia university; and J. M. Gillette, University of North Dakota. Washington Dec., 15.—The contest between the white and Negro lodges of Knights of Pythias in Tennessee over the use of the organization name came to a close today when the white lodges informed the supreme court that their contention that a decision in the Tennessee courts gave them exclusive right to use the name was erroneous. Their action was based propably upon a decision of the supreme court last year in a contest between white and Negro lodges in Georgia. Strange Human Foods The Chinese get a very palatable food from the chrysalis of the silk worm. The poor remove the envelope, broll the chrysalis and eat it with salt and pepper. In the homes of wealth, however, the chrysalis is fried in lard, butter or oil, and mixed with the yolk of an egg. But the strangest of all food is the larvae of a certain fly, common in California and known as the Ephydra. The files are washed on the shore in windrows and can be collected in bushel baskets. The Indians gather them, dry them and grow fat on them. "Robber Dollar Sale." A "rubber dollar sale" was the title of a store's recent announcement intended to emphasize the idea that during the month a dollar could be stretched to cover more than its real value, according to the Clothier and Furnisher. To give forceful illustration, ten one-dollar bills were attached to the placard and were so folded that the figure one showed only on the bill at each end, so that at first glance the group looked like a much stretched single dollar. Patriotic German Association. In Germany there is a national association called the Bund Heimatshutz, formed for protecting and preserving the natural beauty of the German fatherland, together with its historic and artistic buildings, cities, monuments, etc., also to unite the efforts being made by various local and state organizations. Earliest Nails Were of Bronze Nails of the earlier nations were of bronze. The nail used by Jael in killing Sisera was a wooden tent pin. Up to the nineteenth century nails were mostly forged, the first cut nails being made by Jeremiah Wilson in Rhode Island in 1775. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS. STORY OF THE WEEK SHOWING THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN OUR OWN AND FOREIGN LANDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. John Ritty, 65, who is credited with inventing the cash register, died at the home of his sister, Mrs. Thomas Cooper, at Dayton, Ohio. Col. Henry Exall, president of the National Corn Exposition, died at his home at Dallas, Tex., of heart disease. He was born at Richmond, Va., in 1848. It was discovered by postoffice inspectors that $7,700 in currency was contained in two of seven registered mail packages stolen from the Kearney, Neb., postoffice. Robert Maloney, a magician, who registered at a Cincinnati hotel under his stage name of J. R. Willard, shot and killed his wife, Othello, and his 1-year-old daughter while they slept.

A production between 565,000,000 and 575,000,000 short tons of coal in the United States during 1913 is the official estimate of the United States Geological Survey, an increase over the record-breaking production of 1912 of 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 tons. John D. Shoop, whose election as superintendent of Chicago public schools to succeed Mrs. Ella Flagg Young was cancelled several days ago by the board of education, formally resigned the position and resumed his old post as first assistant superintendent. Revision of the present mining law—which dates back to the Jerome B. Chaffee act of 1873, when Colorado was yet a territory—is the main topic to be discussed at the annual meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, which convenes in New York city February 16, 1914. Work of preparing for the ninth annual Western stock show, to be held at the Denver Union stock yards January 19-24, is well under way.

New barns have been built to accommodate the growing exhibits, and these have been made models of light and sanitation. WASHINGTON. Lucy Hoke Smith, daughter of Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Ensign Alston R. Simpson of the United States navy were married at Senator Smith's home. Postmaster General Burleson has barred from the mails any parcel containing the body of any wild animal or bird killed in violation of the laws of any state, territory or district. Secretary Lane proposes to withdraw all lands of the public domain suspected of containing radium, that these precious deposits may be secured for the general good and not become the subject of private speculation. With bold strokes, Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, outlined, in his annual report to the President, a broad policy in the conservation of the vast natural resources of the United States which yet lie within the regulatory powers of the government, and pointed to the important results that may be achieved through the development of these resources under proper supervision. Representative Richard Bartholdt of St. Louis, who has represented the Tenth Missouri district in the House for twenty-two years, has issued a statement saying he will not be a candidate for re-election when his term expires in 1915.

Yang Hu-Pin was reported from Lali-Fu, in the far southwestern province of Yun Nan, about 100 miles from the frontier of Burma. Fighting between Mexican federals and constitutionalists at Ojinaga, Mexico, was resumed Tuesday morning. The rebels advanced upon the federal trenches where the remnant of Huerta's army in Northern Mexico had taken refuge after its disastrous defeat Monday. The removal of the seals on the residence of the late Cardinal Rampolla was requested by his sister, Baroness Carolina Rampolla-Pezzana, at Rome. She presented to the court the late prelate's testament, dated 1889, according to which she is the only heir, a brother having died in the meantime. SPORT. M.

Christmas day Beachey looped the loop five times, a record in itself. Previous to looping the loop Beachey flew upside down. GENERAL President Wilson's vacation at Pass Christian, Miss., is greatly improving his health. Abraham Jocobi, ex-president of the American Medical Association of New York, and an authority on women's and children's diseases, was cured of cancer by radium. Edward M. Grout, former controller of New York city, once president of the borough of Brooklyn, and a former law partner of the late Mayor Gaynor, was indicted for perjury.

A grand jury investigation of the mobbing of Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, at Hancock, Mich., was demanded at Houghton, county seat of Houghton county, by O. N. Hilton of Denver, attorney for the federation. Except in the far Northwest, the problem of the unemployed on the Pacific coast seemed well in hand. San Francisco officials said it had been solved in the only possible way—by providing employment at fair wages for those who want it. Governor Ernest Lister and Mayor George F. Cotterill, on invitation of the Hobees' union of Seattle, visited the lodging house conducted by the union with the co-operation of the city. Three floors of an old hospital building are used. Four hundred destitute men slept on the floor of the Open Door mission and nearly as many at the Salvation Army. Governor Ferris received a long telegram from Sheriff Cruse at Calumet, Mich., and according to that official his investigations have failed to show that General Manager McNaughton had any part in the deportation from Calumet of President Moyer of the Western Federation of Miners. He was not prepared to say, however, who were the actual participants in sending the strike leader from Calumet. Fritzi Scheff, light opera prima donna, was married at New Rochelle, N. Y., to George Anderson, her leading man and manager. Western Newspaper Union News Service. DATES FOR COMING EVENTS. Jan. 10- Farmers' Short Course at Ft.

Led by the mining interests of the state, whose stand is backed by Governor Ammons and Thomas R. Henehen, state mine commissioner, Colorado is preparing to combat the plan of Secretary Lane of the interior department to withdraw all lands containing pitchblende and carnotite from the public domain. Mrs. Sophie Gertrude Stratton, who claims to be the widow of the late Winfield Scott Stratton, millionaire mining man, and who is endeavoring to obtain a half of his estate, instituted suit in the District Court in Denver, in which she seeks to eject the owners of the Brown hotel, which is a part of the Stratton holdings.

BRIDGE GUARD SLAIN ASSASSIN KILLS ONE WATCHMAN SHOOTS AT ANOTHER Tragedy Enacted at Night at Structure Recently Burned Near Non-Union Mine—Second Returns Fire. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Florence, Colo.—Ernest W. Farmer, a trackwalker for the Santa Fé rail- road, was found dead on the tracks by Charles Thomas, the day man, who was on his way to relieve Farmer. Farmer had been shot in the neck with a shotgun, and evidently had been ambushed. Since the bridge on the road to the Radiant coal mine was repaired, after having burned down several weeks ago, two men have been kept on duty at night guarding it. George Libby, Farmer's partner, was shot at while sitting in a little cabin near the bridge. Libby returned the fire, and fell over an embankment, breaking his arm. The fact that he fell is believed to have saved his life, his assailant evidently thinking Libby had been killed also. Farmer was thirty-nine years old, and lived at Colorado Springs, where he was a yard watchman for the Santa Fé prior to coming here to take up duty at the bridge. Libby says he did not see the man who fired at him, but heard his voice. He fired in the direction of the voice. He says the man spoke good English. Sheriff William Newcomb and Special Officer O'Leary of the Santa Fé were on the ground investigating the affair, but so far no clew has been found. The Radiant mine is working nonunion men, and all the coal from the mine has to come over the bridge where the killing occurred. Governor Ammons has ordered a full investigation by the civil and military authorities of the incident. Strange Disease Kills Elk and Deer. Boulder, Colo.—A strange disease is threatening to kill the deer and elk on the Chautauqua reservation here. Six deer are already dead and ten others and three elk have shown signs of the malady.

Pueblo.—A woman whom the police believe to be Mexican Jennie Werner, in whose house at Cripple Creek the bullet-riddled body of Phil Roberts, a miner, was found, is in jail here. She denies ever having been in Cripple Creek. The woman arrived here the day Mexican Jennie left the mining camp. Cripple Creek authorities will take her there. Nugget in Christmas Turkey's Gizzard. Boulder.—The Christmas turkey enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Lynch, 646 Pearl street, more than paid for itself. When Mrs. Lynch was dressing it she found two gold nuggets, worth $2.50, in its gizzard. Her husband tried to trace the turkey, but the butcher said he did not know where the bird was raised. Pioneer Sheriff Dies. Colorado Springs—Scott Kelly, first sheriff of El Paso county and one of the first four inmates to be taken by the Myron Stratton home, opened here recently, died at the home.

Champa 3543 Denver, Colo. Denver, Colo AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS A most interesting story centers in J. H. Blodgett, a colored man of Jacksonville, Fla., who has struggled from poverty to wealth. Nineteen or 20 years ago Blodgett worked for the railroad as a window washer at $1.05 a day. When he first struck Jacksonville he had just $1.10 in his pocket and a suit of underwear in a paper bag. He was indeed poor, but ambitious. He received his first shock in this promising city by being arrested as a tramp for wearing a straw hat in winter. Truth to tell, he wore the best and the only head covering he had. Blodgett, however, had some grit, and rose after his first downfall in pride. A little later, while Blodgett was laying brick at $1.25 a day, Dr. Washington came to Jacksonville and was most cordially received by the "big" negroes—men who had money in the bank, owned property or had pulled themselves through work from the common rank. Blodgett wished to be introduced to the great educator, but he was too modest to push his way through the crowd and seek the hand of Dr. Washington. Nobody saw fit to bring forward "Blodgett, the bricklayer," who thus found keen humiliation through the lack of money and standing in the community. Blodgett straightaway made up his mind that he would increase his earning power and do something worth while that would win for him, eventually, the respect of his colored neighbors, and at the same time entitle him to the friendship of Dr. Washington, for whom he had the highest respect. Blodgett and his wife worked diligently, wasting no time in frivolity. They were thrifty, too. Their savings grew apace and rewards began to come. Blodgett bought Florida property that was bound to rise in value. First he built his own house in 1902. Since then he has constructed 208 houses, many of which he has sold at a good profit. From being an ordinary workman on the railroad Blodgeth has pulled himself into the wealthy class. In Jacksonville, Fla., he owns 121 houses having a combined rental value of $2,500 a month. His own house is well furnished, and he has a fine Packard car, which is driven by a colored chauffeur. With all his means he has one very precious possession—real good common sense. In his addresses during the Philadelphia meeting of the Negro Business league he displayed tact, wisdom and knowledge of men which must have made an impression on some city-bred negroes. His injunction to negro youth is worth repeating: "Remember, white folks have weaned the negro. They are saying to you now: 'Go and do what Booker Washington says you can do.'" Blodgett declares emphatically that there is no excuse for any able-bodied young negro wasting his time doing ordinary hotel work at $20 or $30 a month and tips when he can grow tomatoes at $1,000 an acre in Florida. To a so-called educated negro waiter who was once criticising some negroes because they showed that they had little book learning, Blodgett said: "See here, young fellow, those 11 men together are worth at least $1,000,000, and not one of them has even seen the inside of a college. If you can fool one of them out of ten cents, then I'll give you $10. The smart waiter never got the $10. Blodgett knows life at first hand. The custom of early marriage is in favor in Australia. Twenty-two years ago John W. Thomas of Marlborough county, South Carolina, began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75 and by renting 30 acres of ordinary South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work and close saving he was able to buy a mule for $69 and also seven 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. 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 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 his 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." -Southern Workman.

Words of New York, for electrical devices, many of which are in use throughout the country, one of particular value having been adopted by the Bell Telephone company. The same species of flower seldom shows more than two of the three colors, red, yellow and blue. Roses, for instance, are found red and yellow, but never blue; verbenas are red and blue, but not yellow. The fact that a number of Kansas City negroes, some of whom are members of his congregation, were planning to go to Africa in response to the invitation of Chief Albert Sam of Ashantee, stirred the Rev. T. H. Ewing, pastor of the Vine Street Baptist church, to make a protest and in a sermon he advised against their going. More than a month ago, Chief Albert Sam addressed a meeting of negroes at the Vine Street church and invited his hearers to return "home." He told them of the richness of Ashantee, West Africa, and of the 12 tribes who were waiting for civilized leaders to form a government for them. These tribes, he said, had each set apart 60 acres for a town to be built on and each American negro would be given all the land he could till. The passage across was to be free, a ship having been chartered for the purpose. Attracted by the theory that it is "Better to be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome," several Kansas City negroes signified their intention of going, for it was a bright dream of empire that was presented to them. The start is to be made from New York the latter part of this month, and negroes from all over the country have been interested by Chief Albert Sam and his co-workers. "I told my congregation that they should be careful to investigate and find what flag they are going under," said Pastor Ewing. "They are told that they are needed to help establish a government there, but it is evident that some great nation has dominion over that country, and they should investigate that question carefully before they go. "If some one is putting up money to take the negroes across the sea, that person or country expects something in return. What is it they want? Suppose the negroes from here go there with money, as they will have to do, who will guarantee their investment there?" "And there is something else. They say they want educated and civilized negroes to help lift up the natives. If our negroes do so, they will naturally fall back some in raising their less civilized brother. The plea sounds good and may be, for all I know, but I want to know before I advise any of my flock to go." Superintendents of the various departments of the colored W. C. T. U., No. 2, were named at a meeting of that organization held at Lincoln temple, Washington, D. C. Mrs. Alma J. Scott, president, presided, and devotional exercises were led by Mrs. Mary Dismond and Mrs. R. E. Lawson. Following are the names of the new superintendents and their departments: Mrs. Mary Dismond, evangelistic department; Mrs. Annie Owens, flower mission; Mrs. J. H. Johnson, scientific temperance; Mrs. R. Green, literature; Mrs. L. E. Pollard, rescue work; Mrs. A. Dodge, prisons and jails; Miss Ella D. Barrier, Sabbath observance; Mrs. Hattie Edmonds, physical education, health and heredity; Miss Imogene Wormley, systematic and proportionate giving; Mrs. Alma J. Scott, social meetings and red letter days, and Mrs. R. E. Lawson, mothers' meetings and the press. Plans for raising money for a building fund was briefly discussed. Since ther automobile was invented ther devil has had more fun than anybody. As a matter of furthering its efficiency as a source of public good to the colored people of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana, Lincoln hospital has added to its auxiliaries a body of 12 women to be known as the woman's council. These women are endeavoring to enlist the co-operation of the people in the near by towns. Several towns were visited and at the leading churches talks were made simultaneously, setting forth the aims and needs of the hospital and suggesting the organization of local aid committees. As a result about $25 in cash and liberal contributions of fruit, vegetables, muslin, towels and general hospital needs were made by one congregation, and at each church visited the response justified the expense of the visit.

In the present year the United States has exported 21,000,000 dozens of eggs. Dr. Charles Perrier, police surgeon at Nimes, France, concludes from experiments lasting ten years, that thieves and incendiaries have the longest feet; coiners come next, these being followed in regular order of succession by dynamiters, tramps, swindlers and poisoners.

They say that the Negro is making progress. Whenever we get time to stop to look over conditions, it really looks that way. Sometimes we don't see things moving at a gait we think they ought to move at, but from where we started to where we are at the beginning of 1914 is a good long jump. We don't buy homes as fast as we ought to buy them; we don't buckle down to business quite as hard as we might; we don't keep the children in school long enough to pay as much attention to the trades or occupations we want them to follow as we should; but we are gradually learning, by dear experience, what we ought to do, and we are beginning to do it. We surely are not going back. HOW TO BE GOOD. If you did not make a good resi fact need not necessarily restrain yea the other three hundred and sixty-wrong in too many ways to hope to resolution.

For no reason whatever sleep would suddenly desert him and when it abandoned Kellinger it abandoned the rest of the family, meaning Mrs. Kellinger and the bulldog. When Mrs. Kellinger would announce sadly to their acquaintances that Tom had begun waking up at one o'clock and staying awake till six or not going to sleep at all until half-past-three it was exactly as tragic as though she was breaking the news that he had fallen a victim to the suicide habit or had begun murdering people again after a short vacation. Those to whom she spoke always had an unease feeling that they ought to send flowers or something. Kellinger absolutely refused to go to the doctor about it. He said the physician would merely ask him if he had embezzled any trust funds or had anything else on his conscience, and would appear annoyed because he hadn't. "It's just nerves," Kellinger would say in martyred tones. "I wake up and then I begin thinking and I can't stop. I worry about what would happen if ten years from now a long, hard winter should set in and I didn't have any work. Then there is Uncle Dave, who has just invested all his money in a gold mine, and what if he should lose it. And think of the sufferings of the people over there in the Balkan regions during this cruel war!" "If Tom didn't have such an absurdly tender heart!" Mrs. Kellinger would sigh proudly. That is, she sighed proudly till the sleepless streak had continued for some time, and then she grew peevish from lack of slumber. At first she would read aloud to Kellinger or would arise and, descending to the kitchen, would concoct unholy two o'clock lunches of fried egg sandwiches to lull him to sleep. Later on she took to making remonstrances. Following these heart to heart talks, Kellinger gave up coffee and cigars and once in a while managed to sleep the night through, but more often he didn't. "If you were twins, now," Mrs. Kellinger murmured reproachfully one night at three o'clock at Kellinger, who sat propped up sociably against the bedpost with the reading light on full blast. "I suppose I shouldn't mind being awake like this. I'd expect it But I don't mind telling you secretly that I'm (yawn) getting aw-aw (yawn) fully tired of it! I'm just dead for sleep!" "Are you sleepy, dear?" Kellinger asked, in hurt tones. "What wouldn't I give to feel that way!" Whereupon Mrs. Kellinger felt ashamed of her desire to sleep and read aloud from "The Theory of Hot Water Heating" until she toppled over, sound asleep. Kellinger really suffered. He said if it kept up much longer he would go crazy, he knew. All the Kellingers' friends were intensely interested in the situation. By their advice Kellinger drank hot milk before retiring, drank cold milk, put a hot water bag under his head and then an ice bag, stood on his head and walked on his hands, breathed in six times and out six times, crossed his fingers and counted jumping sheep. When they were out in the evening Mrs. Kellinger had the habit of watching her husband nervously, and if his eyelid twitched she would grab the person next to her and moan: "Tom is going to have another sleepless night!" she would say. "He is getting the blinks! Poor man! I don't know what is going to become of him! Isn't it awful! Dearie!" to the afflicted one, "sit over here where you won't get the cigar smoke—it makes you nervous, I know!" All of this happened before the arrival of Mrs. Shandle, who had known Kellinger at the disillusionizing age of ten, and had never outgrown the habit. The first time she was present at one of these sad exhibitions she transfixed the Kellingers with a disgusted glance and spoke her mind. "Stuff and nonsense, Tommy Kellinger!" said she. "I never heard of such tomfoolery! I never saw a person put on the airs you do! Are you any better than any one else that you can't sleep as the rest of us do? You say that your life is without reproach, and if it is there's no excuse for your not sleeping. The idea! Smoke that cigar and drink that cup of coffee and go home and go to bed and go to sleep! You're a perfect goose! I think the trouble is that your head is only big enough for one idea at a time, and you've grown attached to this sleepless idea and hate to tell it to move on. I'm ashamed of you! And your wife is an easy mark!" "I think she is horribly rude!" Mrs. Kellinger kept saying all the way home. "She doesn't understand your sensitive nature at all!" "Huh?" queried Kellinger—and yawned. Whereupon he went to sleep when his head touched the pillow and Mrs. Kellinger had to set the bulldog loose on him in the morning to get him up at all. That ended Kellinger's insomnia. Exchanged. The stealthy burglar took the diamond set clock off the mantel and replaced it with a sixty-cent timepiece, so that the sleeping owner would not miss the familiar tick. "How times have changed," murmured the burglar as he crept out into the cold. Advertising has no value unless it is founded on truth. Every statement we make is absolutely true.

How Planets Came Into Being From the striking relation of planetary motions, a British scientist has made the deductions that the planets grew out of scattered material each bringing the next into being by perturbation, with Jupiter as the starting point, and the only planet with an original nucleus. From the law of evolution worked out, it is concluded that the nearest planet beyond Neptune should be 47.5 as far from the sun as the earth, and comparable with Neptune in size. Spineless.

To become again more joyous, more childlike, more naive than we are, to look into the world with clear eyes and to consign to the devil the problemmatical chimeras behind which only too often hides the unclean turmoil of the market place, chimeras which have made us unhappy, slavish and uncertain—that would do us all good.—Boston Transcript.

Slaughter of Deer in California Thirty thousand deer die in California each year, the victims of hunters and preying animals, according to a report issued by the state fish and game commission. Of this number about 10,000 are killed by hunters. COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN Even Experienced Housewife May Find Some Explanations Here of Value to Her. Different terms are properly used for different methods of combining ingredients in cooking, as any one who has handled a cook book very much must know. But everyone who has tried to cook does not know just what these various terms signify. Stirring is one thing, beating is another, folding and cutting are yet others—that, we all know. But what are they? Stirring is effected with a circular motion, widening from the center. That is the technical description. Beating is the operation which closes air in the ingredients beaten. This can be done in any way that separates the particles of the ingredients one from another and so lets in the air. Folding is the term applied to the motion which prevents the air already inclosed from escaping and at the same time mixes the ingredients concerned. It is this motion which must be used when whipped cream, beaten egg whites and other light and beaten ingerdients are mixed together or with more solid masses. Cutting is the lightest sort of mixing—hardly mixing at all. Shortening is sometimes cut into flour with a knife. But the shortening and flour cannot be mixed completely by cutting. Keep the meaning of these terms in mind when you cook according to a recipe. Remember that an ordinary cake you stir and beat. An omelet you beat and fold, and you do the same thing to a sponge cake. BEWARE OF TOO MUCH SALT Oversupply in Sauerkraut Will Prevent Proper Souring and So Spoll the Quantity Put Up. There are two essentials which must be observed in making sauerkraut. First it must be remembered that if too much salt is used, the kraut will not sour as it should, and the quality will be impaired. Again, some salt must be used in order to preserve the cabbage till it sours sufficiently to preserve itself. When kraut gets sour it is like pickles, and there will be no further decay. To make the best kraut, a slicer should be used, though it may be sliced with a knife, coarse or fine, as suits your taste. Use a clean barrel or jar, put in a layer of cabbage cut fine, then a little salt, using not more than a quart of salt to a 40-gallon barrel of kraut. If you like the flavor add a little dill-seed or caraway. When the vessel is full, fit a clean board inside, and weight with a clean stone, never a piece of iron. If your cabbage is early, and going to waste while it is yet warm, make the kraut and keep in a cool cellar. This early kraut will rot a little or top. Remove this every few days, and wash off the inside of the barrel and weight, with warm water, to remove the germs of decay. When Beats Prove Tough When Beets Prove Tough. Late in the winter old beets are so tough and pithy as to be unpleasant besides which objection there is the further one of their taking so long to cook until approximately tender. A new way of preparing them may prove a welcome change, as well as overcoming these objections. After boiling the beets, as usual, and removing the skin, pass them through the food chopper, then return to the fire to reheat, adding seasoning of butter, salt and pepper. Every particle of the vegetable will then be tender, eatable and well flavored. Stuffed Onions. Stuffed onions give the paper bag enthusiast an opportunity to try a new dish. Parboil onions for 15 minutes Drain and scoop out half the onion Chop this and mix with sausage or ground meat (either raw or cooked). Season to taste and put back in the onion. Wrap each onion in buttered tissue paper or a greased cookery bag and bake in a hot oven. Baste occasionally with hot water in which a lit tie butter has been melted. Cold Baked Bean Soup. Three cups beans, three pints water, two slices onion, two stalks celery (or substitute celery salt if you prefer), one and one-half cups tomatoes. Simmer all together for one-half hour, then rub through a sieve; add one tablespoonful chili sauce, or tomatos; catups, salt and pepper to taste and one tablespoonful melted butter rubbed into tablespoonful of flour. Boll up once and serve. Chicken Broth. Take a fowl, no matter how old, and when welged add one pint of cold water to each pound of fowl. Break the bones and cut the meat small. Cover with water and add one tablespoonful of rice. After it comes to a boll let it simmer for two hours. Strain and season with salt and pepper and serve hot. Fresh Pork Shoulder Take a small shoulder and boll until the bone comes out. Then make a dressing of eight small potatoes, two or three onions, one-half load of bread and let soak until soft. Season with poultry dressing. Wrap in white cloth and press over night. This is very nice. Pincer for Chicken Feathers.

Denver 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. 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. CEEH SHOE REPAIRING WALTER CAMBERS 1023 Eighteenth St EVENTS OF A YEAR SUMMARY OF MORE IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS THAT HAVE MARKED 1913. NO TERRIBLE CATASTROPHES Famous Financiers and Churchmen Taken by Death—Rapid and Startling Developments in Mexico—Panama Canal Brought Near Completion. Washington.—Really the year 1913 has been a happy and rather fortunate one for the world in general. It was not marked by any great catastrophe, such as the San Francisco earthquake or the Titanic disaster; it saw the end of the wars in the Balkans, it witnessed the inauguration of a Democratic president in the United States, followed by genuine tariff reduction without financial panic. The death roll for the past year has hit the financial world rather hard, including such notable figures as J. P. Morgan, Henry M. Flagler and James R. Keene. The Roman Catholic church also lost two of its most venerable cardinals, Oleglia, dean of the sacred college, and Rampolla, once secretary at the Vatican and who would have been pope instead of Plus X had not the emperor of Austria voted against him. In the United States political developments have been extremely interesting, but not startling. Everything seems to have gone the way of the Democrats. Democratic victories were won last November in New York city, the state of New Jersey and state of Massachusetts. Congress has passed the currency bill, and the banking interests of the country are adjusting themselves to it. Doings in Mexico. South of the Rio Grande developments have been startling and rapid. The year 1913 saw in Mexico the assassination of President Francisco Madero, Vice-President Pino Suarez and Gustavo Madero, brother of the president, the usurpation of the presidency by Gen. Victoriano Huerta, boosted into that position by General Felix Diaz. Then came the rupture between Diaz and Huerta, with the practical banishment of Diaz. Later in 1913 came the rise of Venustiano Carranza, leader of the constitutionalists in the north of Mexico, with the result that the powerful northern states of Mexico are now under his control. Scarcely had Carranza become famous than Francisco "Pancho" Villa, former bandit, with a price on his head, leaped into the limelight as a rebel leader serving Carranza, and it is now questioned whether Carranza or Villa is the stronger in the leadership of the constitutionalist forces. In its relations with Mexico the United States has stood firm. Early in his administration President Wilson announced his determination to withhold recognition from the Huerta administration, and although much pressure has been brought to bear, the president has refused to change his attitude. Efforts have been made to induce Huerta to retire and allow a fair and honest election, without result. Today the United States has a heavy armed force at the border and an impressive array of battleships off the coast. Assassinations of the Year. Barring Mexico's barbarous achievements, there have been few assassinations in countries generally recognized as being civilized. George I, king of Greece, was assassinated by a mad anarchist in Salonika, March 18. In Turkey the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman forces in the Balkan wars, Enver Bey, was slain on February 17. This was followed soon after by the assassination of Nazim Pasha, Turkish premier. Turkey and Mexico appear to have been contending with each other for honors in the line of assassination, with Mexico slightly in the lead. European affairs have gone along rather as usual, barring a few extra startling outbursts by suffragists in England, such as the sensational suicide of the young suffragette who threw herself before the king's horse in the derby and was killed. Politically England has been in a furor, which, however, is nothing out of the ordinary. The year has seen the very remarkable "rebellion" of Ulster, under the direction of Sir Edward Carson, and the organization of an "army" of Ulstermen to resist enforcement of the home rule bill should it pass parliament. England has also had its share of labor troubles. There have been large strikes at home and in Ireland, notably the Dublin riots, led by Jim Larkin. All of the European powers have gone on as heretofore in the construction of battleships, and the "armed camp" policies of Germany, England, France and Russia are stronger than ever, possibly made so by the Balkan wars. Antiquity of Spectacles. The ordinary magnifying spectacles with convex lenses came into use some time near the end of the thirteenth century. Their invention is generally attributed to two Italians, Armati and Spina. As a matter of fact at this time old people in Germany were wearing glasses. According to G. H. Oliver, writing in the British Medical Journal, the first use of concave lenses was of much later date—probably not until the middle of the sixteenth century. It appears that at first the doc In the Far East. In the far east several things of moment occurred in 1913, among them the Chinese rebellion and establishment of a republic, and in Japan the death of the Mikado and the succession of his son and the anti-American demonstrations and riots as a result of the adoption of the anti-alien land-owning law in California. In the realm of science and exploration there have been but few developments that could positively be designated as history-creating. The discovery of the south pole and the disaster to the Scott expedition both occurred in 1912, although the fate of Captain Scott was not made known to the world until 1913. Dr. Fredrich Franz Friedmann, discoverer of a "cure" for tuberculosis, made his appearance in 1913, but the value of Dr. Friedmann's "cure," and other "cures" for that dread disease announced at about the same time, are very much open to doubt. Great strides have undoubtedly been made in the treatment of cancer, but no positive cure has yet been discovered, although much has been learned about the value of radium. Aviation is progressing rapidly. Much attention to aeronautics has been paid by the various European governments from a military standpoint, but no means of making aeroplaning anywhere near safe have yet been discovered. France has organized and trained a military aviation corps that would unquestionably be of great value in case of war, and Germany has devoted much time and money to dirigible ballooning. The United States has spent some $50,000 during the year in military experiments in aviation. The number of deaths resulting from aviation has not been especially large. Aviators have died, just as aviators died in 1912, and Germany suffered a number of disastrous accidents to Zeppelin dirigible balloons. Many of the accidents of aeroplanes resulted from fancy exhibition flying and military experiments. The year 1913 saw the first aeroplane flight over the Panama canal. On the Panama Canal. In Panama great developments have taken place. October 10 last saw the dynamiting of Gamboa dike, being the removal of practically the last serious obstruction in the big ditch. The canal is now almost completed, so far as a trans-continental waterway is concerned, although not yet prepared for the passage of steamers from ocean to ocean. Work has also been begun on the buildings and grounds for the great Panama-Pacific International exposition, to be held in San Francisco in 1915, as a celebration of the formal opening of the Panama canal. New York state furnished the most sensational bit of local politics of the year in the impeachment and removal of Gov. William Sulzer, followed by Sulzer's nomination by Progressives and election to the state assembly. In the world of sports the United States still stands supreme. In addition to humbling the British polo cup challengers, the United States further shocked Johnny Bull when Francis Ouimet, the youthful golf wonder, walked away from the English experts in the national open golf championship at Brookline, Mass., and by the winning of the international Davis tennis cup. America's supremacy in sports was further recognized during the year when King Gustave of Sweden presented the American athletes with the medals and trophies won at the Olympic games in Stockholm in 1912. The sporting world suffered a shock, however, when it was learned that "Jim" Thorpe, the famous Carlisle Indian athlete really belonged in the classification of "professional." He voluntarily renounced the trophies he had won as an amateur in the Olympic games. Here are the leading events of the year: Disasters, Fires, Floods. Floods in Ohio, many killed, much suffering and great damage done. Floods in the Mississippi valley as a result of Ohio floods. Tornado destroys part of Omaha, Neb. Zeppelin L-2 exploded October 7.

Enver Bey, chief of staff Turkish army, assassinated February 17. tors were down on glasses because they interfered with the sale of lotions for weak eyes. Their first mention by a doctor is credited to Bernard Gordon, professor in Montpellier, who informed the world that they were unnecessary, thanks to his wonderful lotions. In these early days their use was limited for many reasons. They were clumsy and ill-shaped, making the wearer conspicuous and subjecting him to ridicule oftentimes of far from gentle type. And above all they were very expensive. For example, Dr. Oli- of Standard Oil company, and financial magnate, dies. George L., king of Greece, assassinated by mad anarchist at Salonika, March 18.

CAVALRYMEN GRAB AND DISARM PANIC-STRICKEN MEXICAN SOLDIERS. MANY BADLY WOUNDED DESPERATE BATTLE KEPT UP ALL DAY WITH LIST OF DEAD RUNNING INTO HUNDREDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Presidio, Tox., Jan. 2.—The northern division of the Mexican federal army at Ojinaga, Mexico, with its eleven generals, other officers and about 4,000 soldiers, after a merciless three days' attack by General Ortega's 6,000 rebels, began fleeing in disorder across the river into the United States. Several hundred armed stragglers crossed, and about 1,500 are now clustered on the Mexican bank of the Rio Grande. The ending of the Ojinaga battle, attended by the most horrifying scene of dead and wounded soldiers witnessed on the border in the present revolution, was declared to have in store only one possible result, the momentarily-expected flight of the whole federal army to American soil. With a line of straggling wounded at the border to indicate the extent of the carnage, and deserters already appearing in numbers, Major M. N. McNamee, commanding the border patrol, made every plan in anticipation of the flight. Less than 500 cavalrymen, mostly of the Fifteenth cavalry, form the patrol here, but they are deemed by officials sufficient to handle the situation. "I expect at any time during the fight that the greater part of the federal army, possibly 2,000 or 3,000, may be forced across the river. I have made dispositions to disarm and hold them, if this takes place," was the message which Major McNamee sent out. Scores of uninjured federal deserters came to the river and, in defiance of the American patrol, crossed; with their arms. All these were disarmed and forced back to the Mexican side. More than 200 rifles, other arms and ammunition thus were taken from the fugitives. It was impossible to learn accurately the number of dead. Many were believed to have died through lack of medical attention, as neither federals nor rebels are equipped with any field hospital service and the Red Cross officials on this side were not permitted to ford the river—even under a Red Cross flag. TONOPAH BUYS COLORADO MINE. About 3,000 Acres Near Breckenridge Brings $1,000,000. Denver.—Word comes from Philadelphia that the Tonopah Mining Company of Nevada has acquired more than 3,000 acres of placer ground at Breckenridge, equipped with three dredges, machine shop, power plant and ready for operation in early spring. Ben Stanley Revett, noted placer expert, will have charge of operations. The Tonopah Placer Company has been organized to own and operate these properties at a capitalization of $1,000,000, upon which not less than 10 per cent in dividends will be paid each year. The Revett dredge boat is equipped for winter work, the coal used in keeping the stack and apparatus from freezing costing but a small amount to the cubic yard of gravel handle Negligence Cause of Mine Disaster. Glenwood Springs. — The jury summoned by Coroner G. A. Hopkins to investigate the explosion in the Vulcan mine at New Castle two weeks ago, causing the death of thirty-seven men, returned a verdict here charging that the blast was due to the negligence of the Coryell Leasing Company, a subsidiary of the Carbon Investment and Securities Company, which, in turn is a subsidiary of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company. Troops Seize Guns and Dynamite. Trinidad.—Seventy-five weapons, including about fifty high-power rifles, 500 rounds of ammunition and 100 sticks of dynamite, have been seized by the militia after a search of all but about thirty of the tents in the Ludlow strikers' camp. The rifles were found in beds in tents occupied by Greeks, and were hidden under floors. No White House New Year Reception. Washington.—New Year day in the capital passed over without a White House reception for the first time since the day of President Monroe. Tides Shatter Oil Trust's Pier.

Do You Know That— AT STATE HIGHWAY CHIEFS MEETING JAN. 15-16. Progress of Work in Colorado to Be Told at Convention in Colorado Springs. Denver. — Following a conference held between the executive committee of the Colorado Good Roads Association and the State Highway Commissioner, T. J. Ehrhart, letters were sent to each board of county commissioners in the state asking that at the fourth annual convention of the Colorado Good Roads Association to be held at Colorado Springs, Jan. 15 and 16, a report be made of the work done on the roads of each county during the last year. It is planned to call the roll of the counties and at that time a response will be made by the chairman of the boards of the several counties telling of the work of 1913. This plan is being adopted in order to bring before the people of the state exact reports as to the progress made in road construction in the last year. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Another special feature of the Colorado Springs convention will be an exhibit of road making machinery. JOB PRINTING The Colorado Springs committee, in charge of the convention, has arranged to have the sessions held in the ball room of the Antlers hotel. Over 500 people can easily be seated in this room, and the surroundings are specially adapted for committee meetings, display of exhibits, etc. Owing to the interest manifested in all parts of the state in connection with the proposed initiation of legislation which will insure sufficient funds to carry out as planned the construction of a state-wide system of highways, the attendance at the convention promises to be unusually large as well as representative. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Board to Cancel Reservoir Site. Denver.—Notification of the intention of the State Land Board to cancel the twenty-five-year-old easement on a 640-acre reservoir site in Naturita valley, San Miguel county, thus causing the land to revert to the control of the state, was sent the San Miguel Irrigation and Land Company by Registrar Volney T. Hoggatt of the land board. Hoggatt is working on the theory that the land was dedicated to the Naturita Ditch Company in April, 1889, while Job A. Cooper was governor and A. Sagendorf was registrar of the land board, and that it was released to the company with the proviso that it be used for a reservoir site. Only ten acres of the 640 having been used for a reservoir, according to affidavits of the settlers in that vicinity, and the remaining 630 acres having been used for grazing purposes, the terms of the easement have been violated and the land reverts to the state, asserts Hoggatt.

State to Get $200,000 Under Road Bill. Denver.—Colorado will receive from $150,000 to $200,000 annually for the maintenance of its roads, providing the postal roads bill, now before Congress, is passed. T. J. Ehrhart, state highway commissioner, who has just arrived from an Eastern trip, says he was assured while in Washington that the bill would be adopted. The assurance to Commissioner Ehrhart comes from Chairman Shackelford of the good roads committee in the House. The measure provides for an expenditure of approximately $15 an acre for the maintenance of ordinary dirt roads; $30 for graveled roads and $60 for macadam roads. "Chairman Shackelford told me," said Commissioner Ehrhart, "that the government used the state roads in the distribution of mail on the rural routes. He said that it was no more than fair that the government should shoulder some of the expense." 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.

"A place for everything, and everything in its place," is the inspiration of many sheerful furnishings which anyone can make. These gayly colored and useful trinkets of the bedroom help to keep the belongings of its occupant in order and easy to get at. Here is a group of four pieces which will be found useful as well as exceedingly pretty and easy to make. There is a little whisk broom holder made of one large and two small heart-shaped pieces of cardboard, covered with cretonne. Appropriate to the shape, the flower pattern is a full blown rose and foliage in one of the blurred patterns. The hearts are each covered separately, the two smaller ones sewed along one side to the larger and joined together with a little bow of pink ribbon at the front. This forms a holder for a small broad whisk broom. It is suspended by a hanger of the ribbon. This is a pretty gift for a man, and an appropriate little token for the engaged girl or the wife to give to her beloved. Another gift for either a man or woman is the tie rack. Nothing could be simpler to make. A shaped piece of thin pine board is used for this, and the cretonne is stretched over and pasted to it, covering the front and back. A small brass rod and little brackets furnish a support for ties. A hanger of wash ribbon in pink silk is fastened in rings at the back. This rack is pretty and calculated to inspire gratitude in the possessor. Hung beside the dressing case, it is no trouble to hang ties over it instead of mixing them with a few other things in the dresser drawer. For a lady's room there is a workbox made over a heavy cardboard foundation with cretonne pasted on. Narrow straps, made of folded strips of cretonne, tacked down at intervals of an inch or so, provide places for needles, thread, hooks and eyes, collar supports, etc., not to mention the always needed darning cotton. The lid is hinged to the box with a strip of Conservative New High Coiffure. A A SOME of the new coiffures go to extremes in the matter of height, but here is one that is conservative and very attractive. It shows several items that go to make up the new styles. There is the loose wave of the hair, the fringe across the forehead and the hint of ringlets at the sides. There is a glimpse of the ear and the quaint and "old-timy" jet earring which makes the skin look so dazzlingly white when the wearer is passably fair. It is noticeable that the hair is coiled very loosely at the back, after all of it has been waved. It falls to the nape of the neck. This feature is essential in order that our millinery may be becoming. No matter whether the hair is worn moderately or extremely high, it is not to be drawn up or back tightly at any place. The hair across the middle of the forehead is trimmed and curled under. At the sides the loose ends are curled into soft light ringlets (inconspicuous, but well cared for), while the mass of the hair is combed back and the ends twisted into a soft flat coll. This is pinned flat to the head, and plain shell pins are best liked for this purpose. Speaking of pins—wire hair pins must not be in evidence, no matter how prodigal the hairdresser finds it necessary to be in using them. They are to be concealed, invisible and reinforced by plain shell pins either large or small in size. For heavy masses of hair, or what appears to be a great abundance, the larger pins are appropriate. They are not jeweled and are often black in- --- cretonne, but small brass hinges are to be preferred. A hanging work basket is made of two pieces of cardboard covered with cretonne. The ends are joined with gores of silk, shirred and tied to the sides with bows of narrow ribbon. There is a pocket at each end for thread. A small needle book is fastened at the front, and hangers of ribbon provided, attached to each side. T The bottom of the basket is a strip o cardboard covered and sewed to the sides. Little ribbon bows at the front and ends make a finishing touch and complete the attractive basket. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Fur-Edged Roses. Some new corsage flowers are roses that have four outside leaves edged with narrow, dark brown fur. Some of the roses are blue, some various shades of red and pink. They are big and striking, but especially suitable to wear with the street suit. A stead of colored like shell or to match the hair. Just now gray hair is very fashionable and women who give much attention to dress are going to the extreme of powdering their slightly gray locks to make them lighter. Ash blonds also resort to this expedient, and it will have to be acknowledged that the effect is pretty. Jet pins and ornaments, worn with the gray coifure, make it very brilliant. Women whose hair is gray in streaks now feature the streakiness instead of bewailing it. The effect is beautiful and startling until one becomes accustomed to it. The knob at the top of the head is placed just above the crown. In many of the new coifures it is further forward and much higher. For gray or red hair the high coifure is the best of all. It is stately looking and displays the hair to advantage. If there is not sufficient natural hair for this hairdress a single switch will serve just as well to make the coil. Anyone who will save the combings from the head will be surprised at the quantity of hair that is daily shed by most women and will not be long in accumulating enough for a switch or for puffs or side curls, all of which have appeared on the horizon of the hairdresser's field. The influence of the colonial style is apparent in the new modes. The colonial coifure may not be copied exactly, but the chances are that its features will dominate the new season. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
